yourself to it just give yourself to it just give yourself to it and fit will rise and fit will rise and fit will rise for it to begin to rise, for it to rise. So, at the Bethel Bible School, which was Paham, they began to emphasize on the speaking in tongues, and they began to see the result among them. But in those days, that was an era of great division among the whites and the blacks. Paham himself was from a certain background. We call them the Ku Klux Klan. You know, a kind of segregation, segregationalist. At that time, there was a law called the Jim Crow law. The Jim Crow law says that the whites and the blacks don't mix. In fact, if black people are in this hospital and a white man enters, they all have to go away to give him for the white person. If black people are in a bus and a white person enters, they all have to leave for the white person alone to be in the whole bus. If a white person enters into a store, a supermarket, no black person can be there. And if you are black, by 6 p.m., you shouldn't be found anywhere. If you are found after 6 p.m., you are in prison for 21 days. So you can just imagine what was happening in those days. It's a great division. And this is what actually influenced the apartheid in South Africa. Amazing. And aside from that, women have suffered all through their generations. That is why we have a lot of women's superiority. Because women have been crushed for many generations. Yeah. Because in those days, women could not preach. Women could not write. Women could not vote. They were like second-class citizens. Now, something happened in the Bible school. There was this lady who was just a worker, like a cook in the Bible school. And she was a woman. She was a woman. She was a woman. She was a woman. She was doing her normal chores. And she heard Chaz Paham preaching. And Chaz Paham said, It shall come to pass in the last days that I shall pour out of my spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams. Upon your servants and handmaidens in those days shall I pour out of my spirit. And I shall show wonders in the heavens and in the air. Blood and fire and plates of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into black before the great and the no-time good day of the Lord come. And shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance. I guess he was preaching. This lady heard his voice. And went to see him and said, Say, and you may quote in Joel 2.28. You said the spirit is coming upon all flesh. The all flesh doesn't include black flesh. And he said, Yes. He said, Your sons and daughters. He said, The Bible says sons and daughters will prophesy. Okay, the daughters doesn't include black daughters. He said, Yes. Then again he said, Upon your servants and handmaidens in those days I'll pour out of my spirit. You know, she was just a maid. Doesn't include me. He said, Yes. And the woman begged him whether he can let go the limitations of the day and minister the spirit to her. And Jasperham did. And the woman got filled with the Holy Ghost. She got so filled with the Holy Ghost that God began to use him supernaturally in the healing. No one in her day had the kind of gift she had. And she had a gift of languages. She went to German to preach and she started speaking in Transcobar language and it was a German language so she spoke in German without any interpreter. Can you imagine? And that was her gift. They were speaking in tongues and it would be the language of the people. So she began to minister powerful healings. She had a pastor assistant. The pastor's name was called William Seymour. He was a black Baptist religionist. William Seymour. So she told William Seymour that you need to be filled with the Holy Ghost. So she encouraged William Seymour to go to Palmer's Bible School so she could also encounter the Holy Ghost and speak in tongues. So Seymour actually went to the school. But he was black. And the school was made up of whites. But Seymour got convinced. And what happened was that he accepted Paham Goliath's and he got convinced and accepted Seymour. But he couldn't join the whites in the room, in the classroom. So he had to be outside and he had to open a window so that he could take his notes and participate in the Bible school through the open window. But he was the one God has later to use in what was coming. Hallelujah. I follow the name. And then William Seymour became so powerful, filled with the Holy Ghost, spoke in tongues, began to pray powerfully. And in those days, he joined the church. We call that church the Santa Fe Holiness Mission Church. But because of tongues speaking, they locked him outside the door. They couldn't accept him because of tongues speaking. The pastor was called Julia Hutchins. They couldn't accept him because of his tongues speaking. But later on, they were going to accept it. Now, what amazes me is that Chaz Paham, despite what was happening in society, and despite his own beliefs, he set it aside to embrace scripture, to embrace the whites and the blacks. And I'm telling you, that was the foundation of the great move of God that was about to hit the air. Praise God. So unity is one of the keys. Unity. When we put aside every kind of classism, racism, national status, social standing, and we see ourself as one in Christ, God will move amongst us. You know, Jesus said in Matthew 18:20, that for where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them. It's a key to engaging the supernatural corporately. Jesus said for where two or three are gathered together in my name. The Greek is not in my name. It's not in. It's I. It's two or three are gathered together into my name. That means in our gathering, our gathering isn't about us. To enter into something means to exit from something. You understand? We exit from self-focus. It is Christ's focus. We enter into his name, into his person. Our focus is all about him. For where two or three are gathered together into my name. Now, the Greek says, the English actually says, I am in the midst of them. But the Greek is in the reverse. In the midst of them, I am. If you gather into his name, in the midst of them, I am. He will show himself as the I am. You begin to see the supernatural. You know he is the I am. He is the I am that I am. Yeah, when there was no bread, he said, I am the bread of life. When he met blind Bartimaeus, he said, I am the light of the world. When he raised Lazarus from the dead, he says, I am the light of the world. So I am is like a blank check. Whatever your need is, I am that solution to you. He said, this disciple said, show us the way. He said, I am the way. So I am, whatever your need is, Jesus is that solution. So in the midst of that unity of heart, we will see the I am-ness of God. It's a blank check. Whatever your need is, he will meet that need. That need will be met. Praise God. - Hallelujah. - Hallelujah. All right, so there was a man by the name Frank Bartleman. Now there were two key figures at the Azusa Street Revival. Frank Bartleman. And William Seymour. William Seymour was black, but Frank Bartleman was white. And God began to stir up hunger in the hearts of these men. Because they could see that something was coming. So Frank Bartleman encountered a man of God by name F.B. Mayer. If you know F.B. Mayer. And F.B. Mayer began to tell him that a revival was ongoing in Wales. He called it the Welsh Revival, which was led by Evans Robert. Now, the Welsh Revival was a very mighty move of God. the head of the Welsh Revival. It was so great that parliamentarians had no meeting. Parliament houses were closed because parliamentarians had no time to go for parliament meetings. They were all going for services. So there were no parliamentary meetings. Football teams were disbanded. Can you just imagine? That was a great move of God. No football teams. Football teams were disbanded because all the players were non-converts attending prayer meetings. Magistrates had to put on white gloves because there were no cases to judge again. There were no tents. There was no robbery. That was what was happening in Wales. 100,000 people were converted. And there was a move of God everywhere. So every mayor reported to just told Frank Butterman what was happening. And that stirred up a kind of hunger in him. And Frank Butterman said, we need to see the same thing in America. So he began to pray. He began to pray. The hunger was so strong that eventually he had to quit his job for time ministry. His hunger was so strong that he could barely eat because he wanted to see something happen in America. Praise God. Eventually the two men were going to meet. Frank Butterman and William Seymour were going to meet. And they met at a place called the Bonnybury Street. Now, something happened. When the speaking and tongues began to blow, certain individuals were so hungry that they decided to have prayer meetings. So they put up notices in Los Angeles to invite people everywhere to participate in those meetings. They said, if you want to see the glory of God, just come at such a time. And they gave the address 214 Bonnybury Street. Come and take a photo of what was happening. And at the first meeting, 40 people attended. 40 people attended. There were 14 attendants. And they began to pray because they wanted to see the manifestation of God's glory. Hallelujah. It wasn't long. Just after a few days, and they began to see the Shekinah manifested. It was a visible manifestation. I mean, visible manifestation. The visible manifestation was so strong that it overflowed. They were meeting in someone's house. In two months, there were about 2,000. So they couldn't even contain their house. The power of God was so strong and tangible everywhere. Now, people were slain on the streets. The principal street of Los Angeles, people were slain. The glory was moved so intensely that schools had to be closed down. Schools were closed down. Factories were also closed down. Stores were closed down because of the glory. Hallelujah. So later on, they had to move from Bonnebrae Street to Azusa because Bonnebrae was too small for them. So they went to Azusa. That is why we have the popular 10,000 street revival. Hallelujah. And the key figure was William Seymour. And in those meetings, God began to move. I want to show you how some of the individuals were so used so that you can see what has happened. So it will trigger hunger in you for the supernatural. Praise God. Now, in those meetings, if you just imagine, there were days just worshipping, just in love with the Lord, lingering in His presence. At one of the meetings, there was no keyboardist. There was a woman by name Jenny Moore. She was part of the first servant to initially speak in tongues when that revival came. The first servant. And she was speaking in tongues, and she got inspired to the Holy Ghost session. She would just go and sit at a piano. She has never played before. She sat down and began to play like an expert. Play like an expert. And she played and sang. She played and sang in Hebrew. Playing. And this woman, when, you know what God gave her? God gave them wonderful abilities. When she was filled with the Holy Ghost, she began to speak in different languages. So she would preach in different languages. She was speaking in six languages. Yeah. Supernaturally, she had never learned it. When he met German, she would preach in German. Then she could preach in French. Then she could preach in Latin. Then she could preach in Spanish. Then she could preach in Greek. Supernaturally, it was happening. It was happening. That was, it's not the first time it's happened in history. The Moravians actually encountered it. The Moravians went to Japan, and they couldn't speak the Japanese language. They entered into a room and waited on God. When they came out, out of the room, they were all speaking a Japanese language. We would have gone to look for a teacher to take us through six months or a year of instructions. But in those moves of God, it was just supernatural. In fact, Jack, what's his name? John G. Lake read the story of the Moravians and went to Italy. And he couldn't preach in their language. He entered the room and trusted God. Prayed in tongues and came out to evangelize. And he was speaking in tongues, and he was speaking in the Italian language. Now, it can happen to us. It's not too far from us. I had some friends who went to Egypt, and they were preaching, and the people didn't understand English. So they just decided to speak in tongues. As they were speaking in tongues, the people just let out their hands and began to weep, not knowing they were speaking in their language. It works. It works. So, Jenny Moore, this happened two years afterward, in 1908. She married William Seymour. So that became a wife. She became the wife of William Seymour. And the two of them began to work together, powerfully. Powerfully. Hallelujah. So God began to use powerful people. In those days, they referred to themselves as sister and brother. Sister and brother. That's how they referred to themselves. Sister this, and brother this. It's so amazing that every kind of sickness people had, there were people who were assigned to those healings. It was like departments. There was a sister called Sister Lucille. She was responsible for the dentist, in the dentist's department. So, responsible for missing teeth. So, whoever has teeth missing, you come to her, she lay hands on your mouth, and new teeth grows up. Lucille. So what she does is that she'll, you open your mouth, and she'll use her finger to press your gum. And all of a sudden, new teeth will just grow up. Lucille. It happened so widely that, now, she began to collapse the work of dentist in Los Angeles. But, where will you go? To go and pay, or to go there for free? It was rapid. If your teeth were, if you had crooked teeth, you just come, she lays hands on your mouth, and all your teeth are arranged. But there was a woman, who brought her daughter to her. Her daughter's teeth were all black, because of poor diet. She took her handkerchief, laid hands on her mouth, and prayed, and all her teeth came out. And she put it in a handkerchief. All the teeth of the girl came out. She put all the black teeth in a handkerchief. Then she laid hands again on the teeth. And new teeth filled up, and she came out. All over. How many of you will convert that kind of anointing? It's amazing. It's just a lady. Just lay hands on her teeth, and she came out. And new teeth are growing. So she was just in that department. If you want your teeth repaired, you just have to go to her. My. There was a brother called Brother David. Now two brothers, Brother David and Brother Lankov. Brother David and Brother Lankov. They were responsible for missing limbs. So if your hand is missing, if you don't have one hand, or one leg, you just have to go to them. It never fails. One day someone went to Brother David. Without hands. They were not there. In front of all the people. As he began to pray, he left their hands. Bones began to grow. Bones were coming out. There was not even a socket here. But bones were appearing. And the bones formed the skeletal shape of a hand. And flesh started forming around it. Everyone was seeing it. Flesh. That was what was happening. let's form that on If you have a missing limb, you just have to go there. And supernaturally, it's formed. By the David and by the Lankov. Then there was Sister Connie. Connie was responsible for cripples. If we're crippled, you just have to go to Sister Connie. Cripples. In fact, she healed 5,000 cripples in 7 years. 5,000 cripples in 7 years. I think she was between 17 and 18 years, actually. So it's not like she was some old. 17 or 18 years, she began to. And when she's about to. This is how she did her healing. When people came in wheelchairs, you just walk to the wheelchair and take their foot. Foot rest. And open it up. You know, when you open it up, it means you can hold the person to rise. That was her method. So whenever she's about to heal, she'll just touch the foot rest and open it up. Because she has the full assurance that you will never. You will certainly rise. She will just pull you out of the chair. And that came to be called the Connie Rule. And all the young men began to heal like the way she did. She just opened her foot rest. And pull you out. Praise God. So God began to use all of these people. There's another sister called Sister Goldie. She was responsible for cancers, tumors, growth, disfigurement. You come to. So when she goes to church, the meetings, you know what she does? She goes with a big dustbin. A big dustbin. A big dustbin. And she removes goiters and growth. And goiters and growth will be falling down. And she will fill a whole dustbin. So she'll fill it two to three times full. And at the end of the service, they'll burn it at the back of the church. So she always goes to church with a big dustbin. Because no matter your growth, it will fall down. Are you there with me? I just want to show you what has happened in history. To whet your appetite for the move of God. My, oh my. It's amazing. She'll take a dustbin and a handkerchief. Just take it out. Then put it in. A big dustbin. And fill it two or three times. Then you'll burn it. Hallelujah. Now there was this woman called Sister Laura. And she was a wealthy woman of the upper crust. Upper echelon of the society. She had mansions and buildings. But she left her mansions and went to sleep on the piece of the church. And she must have been really hungry. She went to sleep on the piece of the church all the days. All the days of the move of God. She was sleeping on the piece of the church. Sleeping on the piece of the church. Because she was hungry to experience the supernatural. She was hungry. She was hungry. And she got so filled with the Holy Ghost. So filled with the Holy Ghost that she began to do creative miracles. In fact, there were 7,000 creative miracles recorded to her. She was so filled with the Holy Ghost that she doesn't always have to just come and lay hands on you. She would have to stand 10 feet away from you. That's all. And you start walking. And America starts taking place 10 feet away from you. Praise God. Oh, glory to God. May that be your portion. There was another man. Should I stop? I should continue. There was another man by the name of Billy Brown. Now, Billy Brown, she was in charge of the blind. The blind. So if you are blind, you know, if you are blind, you don't go to Lucille. You have to go to Billy Brown. And Billy Brown healed 9,000 blind men. 9,000. So it's amazing. At the time, the supernatural life was unnatural today. It was natural today. 9,000 blind men. When he was old, at 93, when the revival was no more in Azusa, I mean, it was no more, there was a blind woman. Someone took a blind woman to him, Billy Brown, and asked Billy Brown, said, the revival is no more. He was 93 years at that time. Can you still do something about her? This blind woman. He just took the sticks of the blind woman and broke it into two and said, go, you are healed. And walked away. When the blind woman turned, she saw. And he healed 9,000 blind people. 9,000. Mind or mind. So I'm telling you, I mean, it is only when we get to heaven that we will see what God has used his people for. But you can be a partaker of what God is doing. You can be a partaker. You can be. Praise God. Hallelujah. Yeah. And on and on and on and on and on and on. And in Azusa, in those days, there was what was called the holy laughter. You know, we know what is called holy laughter, but they used to call it God's holy laughing gas. And they called the tongues, weird babel of tongues. So they'll be singing in the spirit and they'll be moving as though they were drunk. And someone will come without limbs. Without leg. Someone will just hold the leg, and a new leg will just appear. It was amazing. Yeah. In those days, when you speak in tongues, they knew that the power, the apostolic power had come upon them. Once you spoke in tongues, you know you had arrived. That the power that was promised is with you. Now we speak in tongues and we don't even know what we have. It's like our forefathers who were exchanging gold for a mirror. Because they never knew the value of gold. But we didn't do that today. Because we know the value of gold. But we speak in tongues, we don't know what we have received. But when they received it, they started jumping. They started jumping. They know they have the power to cause changes. So the consciousness was very important. My, my, my. There was a meeting, one of Ken Hagin's meetings. As they were there, in the meeting, there was a blind light that flashed in the room. Supernatural, just for a second. Just a second. A blind, a blinding light just flashed in the room. After it flashed, every sinner in the room was supernaturally translated to the altar. Yes. They didn't walk through the aisle. Every sinner in the room appeared at the altar and they were all crying. For mercy. When the hymns speak of a meeting, the glory of God was so strong in the meeting that they were expressing heaven in the room. But when they came out of the meeting, they were all being choked to death. So they had to run back to the meeting. Wow. You understand. But he said when they left the room, they couldn't breathe the oxygen of the air. They were being choked to death. So they had to run back to the room because they were in the heavenly atmosphere and participating in the oxygen of the air was quite difficult. But do you know that in the last days, what God is going to do is unprecedented. It's greater than what we have read in history. What God is going to do is greater than the days of past. In the days of Paham, in the days of William Seymour, in the days of Elipati Costaliza, in the days of the Quakers, in the days of the moves of God and the Puritans, what is coming is far greater. He has started to reset his best wine for the last. And there is going to be a move of God of unprecedented proportion. Cataclysmic. An amazing move of God that's going to hit the air. He says be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. For behold, the husbandman waited for the precious fruit of the air. Jesus is waiting for the precious fruit of the air. That's the church. The harvest. We are the precious fruit of the air. He's waiting for the precious fruit of the air and has long patience until he has received the early and the latter rain. So there's going to be early and the latter rain. There's going to be rain to usher in the final harvest before he comes for the precious fruit of the air. Ma, ma, ma, ma. It is going to be amazing. Heaven is rejoicing for what is about to come. Just prepare yourself as a candidate for the revival that is about to move the church to the next stage. To prepare the bride for the coming of the bridegroom. Hallelujah. Praise God. Please be seated. So how do we encounter the supernatural? I'll give you some points. Number one, spiritual hunger. Spiritual hunger. You have to be hungry. Spiritual hunger. So with Wigley Swift, if I think of hunger, I'm talking about, I mean zeal, having endless zeal for the things of God, I think of Wigley Swift. When this man, in his early days, he wanted to engage and encounter the supernatural, and he was looking for it everywhere. And he would actually go to churches and cause commotion in churches. Because he has heard that this church is powerful and he can encounter God in that church. When he goes, when the service is boring, he'll just stand up and shout. You people claim you have the evidence of the power of God here. But what are we experiencing? He said he caused a lot of commotion in churches because of his hunger. He'll go to a church and he'll just scream, what is happening here? That's not what we're begging for. The power of God is not here. He was hungry. And he saw it. You know, we have 23 dead people raised in his name. And that is not even all that's meant to be Wigley Swift. Gene Leak, John Gene Leak was so hungry for the things of God. He was so hungry that one day he did something that amazes me. Amazed me when I read about him. He was sitting at a restaurant with his daughter. They were eating and chatting. All of a sudden he stood up. He said, I see it. I see it. He started walking. I see it. I see it. He walked four kilometers away. Then he remembered he was talking with a daughter. He was having a dinner with a daughter. So he had to go back. Now, I'm not saying go and do the same thing. But what I'm saying is that I want to just illustrate how hungry he was. He seemed to have a kind of hunger for some reality. He wanted to engage the tangible and the manifest, the visible presence. Of God. And for Gene Leak, he saw it. There was a time, early days, I saw a video. The American president was giving him an award for healing 100,000 people in a city. Because he was doing what the hospitals could not do. 100,000 people. 100,000. So a city Spokane was declared the healthiest city in the world. Heh heh. Heh heh. Now, in those days, during his healing campaigns, you know how he advertised his healing? He would say that, "Healing advertisement, if you come to my healing room and you are not healed in a month, I will give you five dollars." It was a challenge. If you come and you are not healed, he will actually pay you. And he had healing technicians who would just come and ensure that you are healed. Hunger. T.L. Osborn, after sitting under Braham, and saw how God used Braham, entered into a room and said, "Lord, I'm not coming out until I see you seeing me like Braham. I want what Braham has." Heh. And it actually manifested. Like the hunger. People were hungry. David Bennett said, "I long after God and a conformity to his will, 10,000 times more than anything on earth below." Hunger. David said, "As the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God." Oh God, thou art my God, in it will I seek thee, my soul tested for thee, and my flesh longed after thee, in a dry and tested land where no water is, to see thy power and thy glory, so also as I have seen in thy temple." Then he said, Psalm 63:1-2, verse 9, "I long after God, and a conformity to his will, 10,000 times more than anything on earth below, to see thy power and thy glory, so also as I have seen in thy temple." Psalm 63:1-2:9, he says, "My soul followeth hard after thee, my soul followeth hard after thee, by right hand accordingly." What does that mean? Hunger. Hunger. You see, hunger is a sign of life. If someone is sick, the person hardly eats. But when the person starts eating, then you are happy. You feel like the person is getting well. Have you ever seen a sick person eating three bowls of Kengkeh? What kind of sickness is that? If you can eat three bowls of Kengkeh in your 60s, then presumably you eat about seven daily. The word of God, what it does is that it fills you and makes you hungry. The more it fills you, the more it gives you hunger. Hunger is a sign of life. One evidence that the zoe life is springing forth, is hunger. You long after God. No, God is in you, but you want to experience God. Hallelujah. More and more of God. David said, "I will not give sleep to my eyes nor slumber to my eyelids until I find the place for the Lord and habitation for the mighty God of Jacob." Lo, we heard of it in Ephrathah, and we found it in the field of the wood. David. For a day in that court is better than a thousand. I had rather been a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tent of wickedness. This is the guy who said one day is better than a thousand days. One day in the church is better than a thousand days outside the church. That was his estimation. A thousand days is about three years. One day in his presence is far better than a thousand years outside. Hunger. Hunger. There's a verse in 1 Corinthians. 1 Corinthians 12:31 that says that, "Convert endlessly the best gift, yet show how you the more excellent way." Convert. The word "convertiousness" is negative. Because the Bible says, "Convertiousness," which is idolatry. But here we are told to convert. There's one thing we are told to convert. Not just convert, but convert endlessly. That spiritual gift. Now, you know, in 1 Corinthians 12:1, now concerning the spiritual gift, brethren, I will not have you ignorant, or to be ignorant. Now concerning the pneumaticus, the Greek actually is now concerning the supernatural. Concerning the supernatural or the spiritual realm, brethren, I will not have you ignorant. And he says that concerning the supernatural, he says, "Convert endlessly." The word "convert" is the Greek word "xelo." Now that's why we have the word "zeal." Now "xelo" is not just ordinary zeal. In Greek, the word "xelo" is the sound of boiling water. "Xelo" literally means zeal to the boiling point. Zeal to the boiling point. Not slothful in business. Ferventing spirit. Serving the Lord. Fervenci. So, hunger is accompanied by zeal. Zeal to know God. Zeal to know more of Him. Zeal. Zeal. Zeal. Zeal. My. It will never fail. So, what I see with these guys is that they had hunger, deep hunger. Deep, inner-seated hunger. They had a deep quest. "May you be hungry for more of God." It is a blessing to see people who are hungry. They get filled and they get hungry again. They get filled. But if you see people who are lethargic, people who are just unconcerned, that is a sign that there is no move, there is no fire, there is no revival. But to see these realities, all these men I spoke to you about were people who were hungry. Praise God. So, the first point I want to give you is to be hungry. Hungry. For the things of God. Number two. The second point I want to give you in walking in the supernatural, or engaged in the supernatural, be filled with the Spirit. Be filled with the Holy Ghost. Be filled. Now, being filled with the Holy Ghost is not just a single or one-time experience. You read the book of Acts, chapter 2, verse 4, the Bible says, "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they began to speak in tongues, and the Spirit gave them utterance." So, in Acts 2, verse 4, they were filled with the Holy Ghost. Then they were filled again in Acts 4, verse 31. The Bible says, "And when they prayed, the place was shaken, where they assembled together, and the disciples were filled with the Holy Ghost." They prayed and the place was shaken, and they were filled. The same people who were filled with the Holy Ghost were filled again. So, it's not just one-time feeling. It's a continual feeling. Then in Acts 13, verse 51, the Bible says, "The disciples were filled with joy in the Holy Ghost." So, it's a kind of continual feeling. So, in Ephesians 5, verse 18, the Bible says, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Holy Ghost." filled with the Holy Ghost. Be filled Ephesians 5:18. Be filled. The word be filled in the Greek is in the present imperative passive tense. When we say present, present tense means that the Greek actually says be constantly filled with the Holy Ghost. It's not a one-time experience. Be constantly filled. Be being filled. In the Greek present tense is an action in the present time in a continual fashion. So it is the word for something happening constantly. So be constantly filled with the Holy Ghost. Then it is imperative. It's a command. It's not a suggestion or an option. You are under an obligation from heaven to be filled with the Holy Ghost. So God is commanding you to be constantly filled with the Holy Ghost. Praise God. We don't know what it really means to be filled with the Holy Ghost but Smith Wrigley-Swith said, he said it is luxury to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Then he said, I would rather have the Spirit rest on me for five minutes than to have a million dollars. Then that's what he said. I know you would have chosen the million dollars. He said I would have the Spirit rest on me for five minutes than to have a million dollars. Now which one would you have chosen? And you don't want to answer. I would have the Spirit rest on me for five minutes than to have a million dollars. A million dollars. Now it is one thing for the Spirit to be in you as a resident. Another thing for the Spirit to rest upon you, president. Not just reciting but presiding. For the Spirit to rest upon you is another thing. Makuramalingushita. If the Spirit tabana close you. If the tabana close you. That is when. That is when you say things you did not plan to say and that is by the Spirit. That is when you find yourself going away and you didn't plan to go. That is when your actions, you are supplied when the Spirit rest upon you. It's another thing. The supernatural becomes like a stream, endless stream of life. If it rest upon you. Apostle Paul said in Philippians 1:19. And I know that this, I know this will tend to my salvation or my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Deliverance. The word here is deliverance. Paul was already saved, you know. For I know that this would, he was in prison at this time. I know that this would tend to my deliverance or salvation through your prayer and the supply. See supply. The supply of the Spirit. Now the Greek word is epikouridio. That is literally where we get the word choreography. So here we have the choreography of the Spirit. Choreography. When the Spirit rest upon you, something happens. You say things under inspiration. You make the right calls. You go to the right places. There are times you can have a whole statement. After that you pause to think who said it. It didn't come from you. There was a day, the Spirit was so strong upon me, after praying a whole prayer, I didn't know anything I said. It was not me. There is a supply of the Spirit. The word supply here, the Greek says, supplying all the needs of the Kouros by the Kouragos. In Greek times, there was the Kouros and the Kouragos. The Kouros was like a performing art group. A performing art group. If you joined the art group, whether you are dancing or whether it is visual art or whatever kind of art it was, there was a director who was a sponsor. Whatever you need, he will give it to you. If you need an instrument, which kind of instrument you need it, he will give it to you. If you need like a. If your need was a robe, he will provide you the robe. If your need was like, let's say, food or transportation, he was a sponsor. Praise God. And that's the word supply. What it means is that, listen, when you engage the Spirit, every need. For instance, if you are praying for your pastor and you are praying in the Spirit, you supply the Spirit, every need he has or every want he has, you are supplying it. Yeah, so you become the. You become the Choragos supplying all the needs of the Choros. So every need is supplied by the Spirit when you engage the Spirit. It's amazing. You may not even know what you are supplying, but that's what it means. But it's the same way for choreography. You know what? You know choreography? How many of you are choreographers? It is made up of a series of movements and actions. You know the choreography of the Spirit? The Spirit gives you actions and movement. Actions and movement. You know, actions and movement. The Spirit rests upon you. Whatever you speak, edifies. One proof that you are full of the Holy Ghost is that you are always praising. You are always thanking. When others are murmuring and complaining, when you are on top, praise them. You always see victory. You don't see defeat. You see the positive side of life. That is your portion in Jesus' name. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Be filled with Jesus. Things happen when you are filled. The thing is that we should work in the supernatural, not merely the spectacular. Supernatural doesn't mean that you should always be looking for the spectacular. No. In the ordinary supernatural life, you are working in a life of joy, peace, love. You understand? And once in a while, the spectacular can happen when it is needed. Once in a while, it happens. Yes. Some years ago, I went to a certain meeting. And the meeting took place at Legong Water Hall. And I took a sister's book. The book interested me. I was interested in the book. When I saw the caption, I was just interested in the book. So I decided to just go through the book. Then the book got lost because there were so many people in the meeting. We spent about two hours searching for the book. We didn't find the book. So I had to just ask them to apologize. So I left the meeting, got down the potter's lodge, descended the staircase. Well, you have to cross to the car park. As I was crossing, the book appeared in my hands. It appeared. What will you have done? I just went back. I stood there for close to an hour. I wonder what in the world has happened. What is this? So I went back to the meeting with joy to give back the book to the sister. Now, when I got there, the book had been found. So God gave me a copy. God gave me a copy. God gave me a copy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hallelujah. God gave me a copy. Some years ago, I went to preach in a certain Islamic community. I didn't have a lot of -- I didn't have my children experience. No, no, the place I went was Imam's house. And I went to declare, scream. I shouted that it's only Jesus that can save you and his blood. So as I was screaming and preaching, they were angry with me. They brought cutlass. They took my hands out of my back. That today they are going to kill you. So a lot of people started tripping in. You know, because it was the Imam's house, people were screaming. And it was in the dark. It was in the evening. People were just coming in. Coming, coming, coming. So they were passing me because the Imam was behind me. They were passing me. So in the midst of it, all the attention, because they were interested in his security. So somehow, I managed to sneak out. Passed through and ran away. Passing through, annoyed. So the next day, this happened way back in Elmina. I was at a state flat. The next day, I was standing at a junction. Bush behind me. Bush behind me. Bush behind me. Bush behind me. Bush in front of me. And I saw that the Islamic guys were coming with some tough command, tough guys. And there's a small boy saying, "This is the guy. This is the guy." So I knew that was the end. Because if I see, you see, they are Muslims alone. They are Muslims. I mean, these were tough guys. So I knew I couldn't escape. So I was just standing there. I said, "This is the guy." So they were coming to me with anger. That was my end. So when they came, the small boy said, "This is him. This is the guy." And they said, "Ah, where is he?" They said this is him. Then they slapped him and said, do you see any human being standing here? Do you see any human being standing here? Then he said, ah, this is the guy. I could see the guy. He could also see me. Let me tell you, I really didn't know what was happening. So this is the guy. So they took him this way and came at my back and went to search the bushes. In case I was hidden in the bush. And came around me, crossed to the next bush, came to search the bushes around. And they started slapping the guy for wasting their time. As soon as they stood there, have you seen any human being pass by? There's no one. They beat him, they beat him, they beat him. So while they were beating him, the guy was still pointing to me. I could see him. He could see me. You know, I never said this until after 15 years. Wow. It's too sacred. Me, myself, what was happening? Maybe if they had killed me, I wouldn't have been here. But God, by his mercy, showed up here. If I feel the spirit, you escape a lot of trouble. You know, Pastor Michael is here. My secretary, one day he was going to pick a car. I just remembered. Pick a car. Then he stood in front of the car. He was going to say, I'm going to pick a car. I'm going to sit at the front. And he had a check within him, not to sit at the front. So he came out and went to join the passengers. And they were angry for wasting their time. So a woman actually came and sat in the front of the car. As they moved, they reached somewhere, St. Augustine's, and a car came to hit the front seat. And the woman was full of blood. And they all turned to look at him. There's the man. Who are you? Who are you? So when you are feeling this, I'm telling you, your spirit, I'm telling you, your movements is governed and controlled by God. Hallelujah. Now let's read the book of Psalm 16, verse 9. Psalm 16, verse 9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory, rejoice it. My flesh also shall rest in hope. Praise God. Therefore, my heart is glad. Now say heart. Say heart. Now the son, my heart is glad. Then my glory rejoices. So in the statement, I wanted to just mark the word hearts. The subject, the heart is glad. And the glory, it's also rejoicing. Hearts is glad. And my glory rejoices. Are you following me? Yes, sir. On the day of Pentecost, when it was filled with the Holy Ghost, Peter began to preach. And Peter actually quoted this verse in Acts chapter two. Let's read verse 26. Acts 2:26. Therefore did my heart rejoice and my tongue was glad. Something has changed. Now I told you to mention two words. Hearts and what? Glory. My heart was glad and my glory rejoiced it. Now Peter is now quoting from David. And look at how he did it. What has changed? He substituted the word glory for tongue. - Oh. - Do you see? He has substituted the word glory for tongue. The book of Psalms says my heart was glad and my glory rejoiced. But Peter is now saying my heart is glad and my tongue. So that the glory take the place of the tongue. You know why? The key to the glory of God is your tongue. Your tongue is the key to the glory of God. At that time, they had just spoken in tongues. This is Acts chapter two. And he's saying that, what has happened, they're speaking of tongues. It's what will launch you to the glory of God. It will launch you to the glory of God. Praise God. You get filled with the Holy Ghost. Speaking in tongues will usher you into the glory zone. And when you are in the glory zone, what happens is that everything is nice. In that glory zone, you won't forgive anybody. You want to forgive everyone. When you are filled with the Holy Ghost, you feel like loving everyone. You feel like embracing everyone. You feel like smiling. Everything is nice. If you get filled with the Holy Ghost, everything is nice. Even sometimes, the trees are nicer than they are ordinarily. Even the song of the birds are sweeter. When we are filled with the Holy Ghost. But it just cannot be there. Hatred cannot be there. You feel like rewarding good for evil. Love comes alive. That's the glory zone. When you are in glory, this is what happens actually. That's the glory realm, the glory zone. I hear with me. John G. Lick said, "Speaking in tongues is the making of my ministry." That's John G. Lick. "Speaking in tongues is the making of my ministry." So it will usher you to the glory zone. Everything is glory. You know glory, the totality of God's blessing is called glory. Glory. Yeah. You can experience Eden. Yeah. Where there is no glory, there is curse. Glory means weight. The word curse means light. Glory is the weight in the presence, of the divine presence, enriched with all of God's blessings. When there is no glory, there is light. When there is no glory, curse means light. Oh my, hallelujah. The glory of God. So I've spoken of spiritual hunger, then I've spoken of what? The fear with the Holy Ghost. The next one is the fifth realm, faith. Faith. Now, whatever Jesus said, we can do, we can do. In Matthew 21:22, Jesus says, Jesus said, "And all things, whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing ye shall receive." This is Jesus speaking. He cannot lie. His name is the truth. He is called the truth. He cannot lie. And this verse is true. John read John 14:12, verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, as a scripter hath said, that scripter is true, but that's not what I'm quoting, he said, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father. But look at how Jesus began the text, verily, verily. Have you realized that in some cases he mentions verily once, in other cases he mentions verily twice? There are some cases he says verily. Verily, verily. I say unto you. Then others, when the truth is most carnal, for instance, he told Nicodemus, verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is a top truth. And here he says verily, verily. The word verily, the Greek is amen, amen. I say unto you. The Greek says amen. It's a milder way of saying, I swear, I swear. It means it is inevitable, it is irrevocable, it is immutable. It cannot change. He that believeth in me, the works that I do shall he do also. So he can do his works. And greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father. The greater works, the Greek is not greater in quality, but greater in quantity. You cannot improve on the quality of his works, but you can do greater in quantity. He that, the word believeth, look at the King James, believeth. Any time you see the word believe, and you see eth added, you see the word suffix eth, the suffix eth, that means it is a continuous and a repeated action. A continuous and a repeated action. So if you continue believing, it's not just one time believing. Keep believing. Keep believing. Keep believing. You'll produce his works. But you see. Then there's another verse I want to show you in Matthew 17, let's read 19 to 21. Matthew 17, 19 to 21. You know the story when Jesus descended from the mount of transfiguration, the disciples were with the guy, epileptic guy, they couldn't cast out that spirit. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, "Why could not we cast him out?" They were shocked. You know why they were shocked? It wasn't powerful. It wasn't bloody. Because Jesus had already given them power to heal all manner of diseases and to cast out devils. had testimony when they came they said lord the spirits are subject to us in your name so they had had testimony already of spirit being cast out and healing so but with this one it didn't work but jesus had given them the power but this time there was no result so they were amazed so they said why could not we cast him out what jesus said jesus said unto them because of your own belief for very as hell to you if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say to this mountain remove hands to yonder place and it shall remove and nothing shall be impossible to you that's amazing we don't need much faith we just need mustard seed free and if you have the smallest faith there ever is he says you can move mountains and nothing shall be impossible to you this is research speaking but why don't we say oh faith answers everything i think of faith i think of benzene now in my whole life as i've studied faith people the two great people who have worked in faith to me than anyone else smith williamsworth and benzene dahusa now apart from faith that comes by hearing there's also the gift of faith you can't deny that like these guys work in the gift of faith you know one day he went to the airport and the plane had left the plane was gone he stood up and jesus then called the plane back whoever does that he caught a plane back they were there they saw the plane coming back yes he entered the plane and said the security of this plane depends on my presence in this in this plane yeah yeah it was a hell of a memory no one day he was having a meeting and someone fell from the top floor at the back of the service I think that lady's head hits the floor and died the head evil was invited and blood and some of the organs spilled out so you can just see movement it went crying in people were and with the who so was giving the announcement he didn't stop people were shot on the back he didn't mind him and this and this and we are going to have this next week and he wasn't considering what was happening we'll have this next week and then giving all the announcement when he finished he stepped down calmly and said give way give way and he didn't get to where the dead person was he said straight on the dead I call you back to her and she turned he turned like a movie the blood that was still started coming together and the head that was invited powerful and the person stood out that's a gift of faith in operation that's a gift of faith you know some years ago they announced that term you know when he came to Ghana here someone fell and died and he was in town in the head of return rushed to go and raise a person from the dead and that's how president organized the studio for for him and he had crusade in Ghana yeah yeah very much the message said that's when he gave his life to Christ what he saw in prison so this one is very bold and there was a time Nigeria had to play with Cameroon and it also was going to have a crusade in the stadium and the nation said that's the stadium I'm going to use for the football match so they moved all his instruments aside and they're preparing a place for the football and he had it he just went to the radio station and the TV station and said it's going to rain for 24 hours it's going to rain heavy cats and dogs the football match will not come on by his word you know after three hours the national guys went to see him and they went to beg him that please would break it and we have arranged another stadium for you we are sorry for what we have done they said say please can you and reverse it and bless us okay say because of what you've done Nigeria is going to score two goes to nil and I just got two ghost in there yeah one day he was preaching and the ring was coming he said range tall so where he was having a crusade there was no rain but just few distance away it was raining it didn't come to where he was he said when he finished not he said this himself when he closed the meeting he said rain you cannot do your work in one minute the whole place was flooded there was a time he was preaching he wanted to stop the rain he said rain stop I said God says no and the Lord said no rain stopped and the Lord said no we shouldn't stop rain stop the Holy Ghost said no I won't stop the rain and the rain started coming there were 52 cripples 52 or 56 cripples just in front of him they were all in hoochers when the storms and the rain started coming they all ran away and left their hoochers one day was preaching and his keyboard fell down and died he was preaching and the keyboardist fell down and died and they were trying to get his attention Dr Robert Dr Robert he wasn't he wasn't my name that he was still preaching and preaching he saw the guy was dead but he he felt the word of God is more important than attending to the dead and he was preaching he honored the word and the person was dead and the people were shivering it wasn't a problem for him at all after the preaching he just went and raised him up and went away hallelujah you can crave for the gift of faith I'm telling you that starts with a word and your faith can grow and you'll launch the gift right the place where it operates as a gift praise God now let's see our text the disciples asked why could not we cast him out now Jesus said this is a gift of your own belief so if you have a mustard seed seed faith Jesus says nothing shall be impossible to you and it is true now all of us here do you know that we've already manifested the greatest faith the greatest faith there is there's nothing higher than salvation the faith for salvation is the greatest faith you can ever use manifest in your life whatever you believe for again is less than your salvation if the devil could stop you where he should have stopped you was to stop you from receiving Christ if Satan could not stop from receiving Christ no he can't stop you from doing what God has because the main thing was a salvation and remember you have already the faith for salvation is greater than faith for healing but you know why you may argue with me but let's see this verse verse 21 look at what Jesus said how be it this kind great not out but my prayer and faster this kind go it not out but by prayer faster what kind is he talking about first of all um he isn't talking about a kind of demon every demon subject to the name of Jesus there is no demon that cannot subject to Jesus's name look at the text this kind and the word this is a different article this kind now in the grammatical construction what is Jesus talking about what kind is he talking about this kind and let's start from this to verse 19. or let's let us say let's go to verse 20. why could not we cast him out he says Jesus said because of your own belief when Jesus is answering them I said because of your own belief now the David article this kind in the grammar construction answers to unbelief he's talking about the kind of unbelief they were in that unbelief is resolved by friend praying faster the reason is because there are two kinds of unbelief there are two kinds of unbelief there is the unbelief that comes from ignorance that unbelief is solved by the knowledge of the truth there is the unbelief that comes from ignorance it is solved by the knowledge of the truth but there is the unbelief that comes by The dominion of the senses. The dominion of the senses. That unbelief is solved by fasting and prayer. That kind of unbelief is solved by starving the flesh, starving the unbelief with fasting and prayer. Unbelief can be starved by fasting and prayer. So I said there are two kinds of unbelief. The one from ignorance. It is answerable to or it is solved by the knowledge of the truth. But you see, the disciples, they were men of the senses. When I say senses, what you see, what you feel, what you hear. All our lives we have been taught to believe what we see. And we respond to what we see and what we feel. Now the dominion of the senses by what you see and feel has a certain unbelief. But that unbelief result, which makes it so naturally acclimatized to situations, can be starved and solved by fasting and prayer. I'll give an example. In those days, when Wigley Swift was preaching, before he mounted the podium, he would say, whoever runs first to this podium will be healed. That is how he began his normal preaching. So whenever he mounted the podium, there was a race. Yeah, because whoever actually goes to the platform first was healed. This time around, there was a woman in a wheelchair. She looked like a pregnant woman. But it was a kind of tumour. So there were some guys who were just ready. So when he mounted the podium and announced it, quickly they pushed this lady in front. And the lady couldn't even stand because her stomach was bulky. Wigley Swift said, stand and walk. When she began, she fell down her stomach. It was so easy to see. Everyone turned their head and said, because of the pain she was going through. Now Wigley Swift, he said, stand again and walk. Then the lady fell on her stomach the second time. Then the third time, stand again and walk. She fell on her stomach the third time. Someone responded in the congregation, I've never seen a half-assed preacher like you. Are you so wicked? Wigley Swift said, mind your business, because I'm minding mine. Again, the lady, nothing was happening. Now if it was you, you know what you would have done? You would have given up. You would have entered into natural sentiment and sympathy. So, that means no working. She didn't jive. It's not working. It's not working. It's not working because of the senses you are feeling for that person. It's not working. It's not working. So, do it again a fifth time. When she did, the whole tumour rolled on a platform like a ball. Someone brought her baby. This guy, this couple, actually stole their own baby. We should use the word stole. From the hospital to Old Glastonbury. Because the baby was going to die. He said, can you do something for us? He asked them, am I able to do what God wants me to do? Hey, they said yes. She put the baby down, went back. Like a football. The baby fell down, part of the baby was dead. Come and see the congregation. The place was quiet. If it was you, your natural senses, you know what would have happened. Sympathy, natural feeling. You believe what you've seen. That kind of atmosphere and belief is unbelief. Because of what you are saying. Do you know what it means to pray for an epileptic? You can pray for a sick person, someone with a headache. But when you see the person roll and you've said one, two, three, nothing is happening, you may conclude, "Hmm, this one, dear." Human sentiments and feelings, those things are unbelief. They have to be stuffed away by prayer and fasting. See, the faith is there. Because every believer has faith. But normally, they don't have faith. The faith is mixed. That's what Jesus says, "Believe only." He said, "Fear not, only believe." Because fear was mixed with faith. You can have faith, and it was here. So Jesus told the ruler of the synagogue, he said, "When they told him that your daughter is troubled or the master, your daughter is dead." Jesus says, "Fear not, only believe." Another version says, "Believe only." Another text says, "Believe only." Why believe only? Because fear was mixed with faith. Because faith is already in your spirit. But you can have unbelief. You know the truth. But the situation, dear, this situation, so your senses are allowed. Your feelings are allowed. What you are seeing, this one, I've heard of it before. Even your prayer has no confidence because of what you are seeing. If the Lord tells you to hit a baby, and the baby falls down and dies, what will you do? You'll just come straight to the natural. I'm embarrassed. The feeling of embarrassment. The feeling of it didn't work. What do people say? All of those feelings, you can't have them in a prayer in a higher realm of faith. When Jesus brought the baby again, he hit the baby to the crowd, nothing happened. Everybody was sad. He was the only one who was happy. The third time he hit the baby, the baby fell down and started crying. Pray tell it to me. Now someone came to him with a stick. With that leg. It was just a stump. He said, "Go to the supermarket and go and buy yourself a pair of shoes." The guy bought a pair of shoes. He says, "Weigh it. Put that stump inside and the leg carry it into the shoe." Praise God. Fasting and prayer is not a source of faith. Fasting and prayer is what terminates unbelief. Faith comes through the word. But the unbelief which has to do with your natural senses, the dominion of your senses, which clouds you. You have to fast for your spirit to be released. Your spirit will have dominance over your flesh. I had no money to go. Nobody knew, only myself and God. The person called me and said, please, where are you? I said, I'm going to Kumasi. The person said, God spoke to me at dawn to come to V.I.P. station because you are traveling and you need transportation to go. I went outside and the person gave me the money. He said, okay, I don't want to waste your time. Bye-bye. I came back and paid. Ask this one. It works. Faith works. Many years ago, I was pastor of a certain church. That's exactly 20 years ago. A friend of mine came to Kolebo and told him that he needed money to go back to the western region. At that time, I was studying faith in my room outside East State Junction. And I couldn't say, "Man, I hope I have no money, because what am I learning?" So I spoke the way I said, "I'll come to you. I'm bringing you the full money you need." The truth is that even transportation to Koleluw from Este Junction wasn't there. So how was I going to? So I took the money I have. The money could take me from Este Junction to Labade. So I took to Labade, and I got down. From Labade to Koleluw too is not a joke. So I have to walk to Koleluw. So I started applying. Like when I was going, I left my house and made declarations that every need is provided. I said, "I'm going to take the money to my brother, and I'll come back safely." I spoke the word. So I got to Labade Junction, got down, and I was walking. I was walking, speaking in thanks and praising God for the thank you, I'm sending the money to him. So faith in action. I'm sending the money to him. "Father, thank you. Thank you that you've given it to me. It is done. Glory to God." So I walked for about some minutes. As I was walking, a car just came by my side, a Rastafarian. A Rastafarian. Playing hard music. Then he said, "Get in." "Hey." "Get in." "What's wrong?" "I'm going to get you a car." "What's wrong?" "I'm going to get you a car." "What's wrong?" "I'm going to get you a car." "What's wrong?" Then he said, "Get in." "Hey." "What's wrong?" "Get in." "What's wrong?" "Get in." "What's wrong?" He didn't ask me where I'm going. He said, "Just get in." "Hey." So I sat in. He didn't ask me anything. Drove the car. "Hey." But I had peace in my heart. "Yes." I had peace. So I was going. He go to the junction I was going. As I said, "Please, I want to get out. This is where I'm going." So, he said, "I want to get out." "This is where I'm going." "This is where I'm going." "This is where I'm going." So he opened the door for me to go. He said, "I can't go." So I went out. Then he moved as though he was going and came back and called me. "Come." He took large sums of money. "Tell God I love you." "All right." "Let's go." I have so many financial miracles when I had no money. When I had no money, I had a lot of faith testimonies. Hallelujah. What does it mean? It means that I'm rich. Well. Praise God. Let the good say. And let the poor say. Praise God. Praise God. Let the poor say. If you don't confess to poverty, you don't confess to things. Yeah. So you have to put the word in action. Like when you're not feeling well, your first response is to medicine. That's not a supernatural life. Your first response must be the communion. It must be speaking the word. The fact that you spoke the word and you are feeling sick doesn't mean you are not healed. Oh. You should know how it works. And some of you, you know why it doesn't happen? By His stripes, I'm healed. The next day, in Jesus' name, I'm healed. You'll not be healed. Oh. You are doing it passive. It's so passive. It's passive. You have to engage it actively. Yes. In Jesus' name, I'm healed by His stripes. Mean it and say it. Mean it and say it. Take hold of it. It is yours. And when you feel the symptoms, hold on to your confession consistently. Hold on. Hold on. Say it. Say it. Say it. Say it. Because we are not moved by what we see. We are not moved by circumstances. We are not moved by what we feel. We are moved by God's word. So keep saying it. Keep saying it. Oh. Because God is not a man that he should lie. He cannot lie. He cannot lie. He cannot lie. He cannot lie. Find how it works. Find how it works. Of course, even if you are taking medicine, you have to take it by faith. Because it is man that made medicine. The doctor tells you. You have ten scriptures proving you are healed. The doctor gives you one information that you are not healed. You believe in what the doctor has said. Then there are ten verses that says you are healed. You have the power of unbelief and the power of the senses. The doctor tells you something and all the scriptures will get missing because of your feelings. But faith works. Praise God. Faith works. My next point is Ephesians 3:17-21 or 2:20. Ephesians 3:17-21 or 2:20. Knowing his love. Knowing God's love. That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith. That ye being rooted and grounded in love. So the text, the context is love. Ye being rooted and grounded in love, ye may be able to comprehend with all things what is the breadth and length and depth and height. And to know the love of Christ. And to know the love of Christ which passeth. And to know, listen, not love for Christ, but the love of Christ. Not how you are loving Christ, but how he loves you. And to know the love of Christ, not love for Christ. And to know the love of Christ that passeth knowledge. You see, how can ye know something that is beyond knowing? And to know. It's knowledge. That's ginosko. The love of Christ that passeth gnosis. There is knowledge beyond knowledge. The knowing of his love that is beyond knowing is by revelation. And when you get to know his love, I'm showing you how to work in the supernatural. When you get to know, so you need to explore the depth of redemption. To know who Jesus is in person and his work and how much he has loved you. When that relative hits you, you begin to work in the supernatural. So it says, and to know the love of Christ that passeth knowledge. What is the result? That ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Knowing his love will cause you to be filled with the fullness of God. Filled. The Greek word says filled, unto. The word in Greek is unto, all the fullness of God. You begin to express God and reveal God. What does it mean to be filled with all the fullness of God? You can't be filled with the fullness of God and walk in depression. You can't be filled with his fullness and walk in worry. It's not possible. You can't be filled with his fullness and sicknesses have a way. When you are filled with his fullness, peace, joy, love, his fullness. The next verse. Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all my, unto him that is able to do exceedingly. Abundantly. Above. All we ask or think, God is amazing. He is able to do. Listen, when Paul wrote these words, the words exceeding, abundantly, above all cannot be found in secular literature, the Greek. Because what God can do, there was no human vocabulary. To vividly express in human terms what God can do. So Paul coined his own words to describe God's ability. The Greek word is. Paul is the first person to put those words together. And those words are superlatives of superlatives in force. Hoopa means over, above, and beyond what is necessary. The Greek word is. And the Greek word is. And God is able to do, exceedingly, abundantly above the greatest abundance. What God is able to do, is too much. Now the rabbis tell us that, you know how the manna came every day, the manna that came me one day according to the rabbis could actually feed israel for two thousand years no matter that fell in one day could have fed israel for two thousand years he can do exceedingly abundantly above you know jesus fed five thousand men with how many five loaves of bread it's not lots of bread the greek is crackers crackers and two fishes is the word is sardines two small sardines crackers and two small sardines the bible says five thousand men the greek is not anthropos anthropos is individual men the greek is ane the greek word is the word for husbands or heads of families so he counted heads of families so there were five thousand heads of families not the ordinary word for men five thousand heads of families so scholars believe that it is approximately forty thousand people and jesus fed them with two sardines and five crackers unto him that is able to do exceedingly on blind and what are you believing god for what are you believing god for there's nothing you cannot do there's nothing you cannot do but you see the way this verse was translated the verse puts what god can do in in in the potential realm if i say god is able to that means it's in the potential realm potential power we are saying what god can do but that's not the greek the greek doesn't put the text in there is the english translation because it is hard to translate it in english in english because now unto him that is able in the greek it is in the present tense is the present passive middle participle so let me show how you can read it in english let me show how you can read it in english now unto him who is constantly by his power doing exceedingly and abundantly above above all we ask or think so the greek says he's actually doing it now in the realm of the spirit so in the spirit realm he's already doing exceedingly abundantly above it is ongoing it's your but you can draw it out so in the spiritual realm these things are already happening but you must draw it out i healed me so god is able but he's doing it and he says according to the power that we're getting us so all of this is not any new power he's bringing from heaven all those things that he can do which is beyond thinking that power is the power in you so can you imagine the power that is in you what god can do there's not any power outside of you you may think it's power he's bringing from heaven he says it's in you it's in you but you see you interpret the text by the context by the context because all throughout he was talking about now the consciousness of his love do you know that if you are conscious of how much jesus loves you you work in the supernatural yes yes if you are conscious of his love how much he loves you you move in a supernatural naturally you move in the supernatural because you see faith works by love how do you know you are in faith by knowing how much he has loved you if you live by the consciousness of his love how he loves you that does it praise god now during the era during the second world war the nazis they attacked london city of london and people were dying so the authorities in london made underground shelters and made all the inhabitants go to underground shelters to hide because the nazis could bring their raids and destroy the people so everybody would go and hide stores were closed in the underground shelters then there was this lady she went down to the shelter she said the place was smelling she couldn't be there so she left and she went to her home and she stood and said lord i thank you and i praise you i know how you've loved me you love me you know god loves you like his son you love me i place myself in your hands when he slept she slept the nazis came and destroyed the place listen every building in the area was destroyed except her building except her life those who escaped underground shelters their lives were kept by their houses were destroyed but it took someone to respond in faith because she knows she's in love the lord loves her and her house was fed her life was paid you just have to practice his love what you do for jesus he will do for you because you are his love son hallelujah praise the lord praise god and finally to preaching the supernatural you need the spirit of wisdom and revelation finally the spirit of wisdom that's what is found in ephesians 1 17 and 18. to know so you can read ephesians 1 17 18 and 19. the truth is that in verse 19 now paul was praying that we'll have revelation and wisdom the spirit of wisdom and revelation you can read it this way the spirit of wisdom and revelation you can read it this way the spirit of wisdom and revelation you can read it this way the spirit of wisdom and revelation you can read it this way the spirit of wisdom the spirit of wisdom the spirit of wisdom even revelation the spirit of wisdom the spirit of wisdom even revelation the greek also reads that way the greek also reads that way the greek also reads that way uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh and and and to know three things to know to know three things to know to know three things to know the person of christ his plan and his the person of christ his plan and his the person of christ his plan and his power power power that's what is in 17 18 and 19 in 19 that's what is in 17 18 and 19 in 19 that's what is in 17 18 and 19 in 19 the exceeding greatness of his power is the exceeding greatness of his power is the exceeding greatness of his power is already in you already in you already in you you need revelation there was a man who you need revelation there was a man who you need revelation there was a man who went to hide in the bush to pray after the third day of his fast jesus after the third day of his fast jesus after the third day of his fast jesus appeared to him and said appeared to him and said appeared to him and said the power you are praying for is already the power you are praying for is already the power you are praying for is already in you in you in you with that knowledge he went to do with that knowledge he went to do with that knowledge he went to do exploits exploits exploits we don't pray for power we pray to we don't pray for power we pray to we don't pray for power we pray to release power release power release power now you need to fast and pray to release now you need to fast and pray to release the power because it can be the power because it can be the power because it can be imprisoned in your spirit imprisoned in your spirit imprisoned in your spirit because the holy ghost and your spirit because the holy ghost and your spirit because the holy ghost and your spirit are one are one are one praise god so it is one thing to know praise
