SPEAKER_00: I'm reading from John chapter 7, verse 37 to 39, and we're talking about the liberating power of the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: And tonight, just briefly, we want to talk about the releasing the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor releasing the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: Verse 37 says, On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.
SPEAKER_00: And then he says, Whoever believes in me, as scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from where?
SPEAKER_00: Flow from where?
SPEAKER_00: From within them.
SPEAKER_00: Verse 39, by this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive.
SPEAKER_00: Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not been yet been glorified.
SPEAKER_00: Shall we pray?
SPEAKER_00: Father, we thank you for your word.
SPEAKER_00: We thank you that we can come under your feet and receive the word for the now.
SPEAKER_00: Not the word for yesterday, not the word for tomorrow, but the word for now.
SPEAKER_00: So anoint our ears to hear, anoint our hearts to receive, anoint the mouth of your servant as he speaks, not only for those who are here, but those worshiping us online, across the globe, wherever they are, and may faith be ignited in all of us as we connect to your word.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for hearing us because we have prayed in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: And God's people say, Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, release the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: Tell the neighbor with confidence, release the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: Bonas if you were.
SPEAKER_00: In the Bible, we think we see the anointing like oil.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, oil.
SPEAKER_00: But the anointing also talks about the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_00: And so when we talk about releasing the anointing, we're not asking you to release the Holy Spirit to go away from you.
SPEAKER_00: Let me read these verses in John chapter 14, chapter 16, verse 9.
SPEAKER_00: John 16, verse 9.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, let me pick it up from verse 5.
SPEAKER_00: Just go back to verse 5.
SPEAKER_00: So Jesus is speaking to the disciples, and this is what he says.
SPEAKER_00: But now I'm going to him who sent me.
SPEAKER_00: None of you asks me, where are you going?
SPEAKER_00: Rather, you are filled with grief because I've said these things.
SPEAKER_00: But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I'm going away.
SPEAKER_00: Unless I go away, the advocate will not come to you.
SPEAKER_00: But if I go, I will send him to you.
SPEAKER_00: When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment.
SPEAKER_00: About sin because people do not believe in me.
SPEAKER_00: About righteousness because I'm going to the Father where you can see me no longer.
SPEAKER_00: And about judgment because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
SPEAKER_00: I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
SPEAKER_00: But when he, the spirit of what?
SPEAKER_00: Truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.
SPEAKER_00: He will not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears.
SPEAKER_00: And he will tell you what is yet to come.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_00: And that anointing was given to us on the day of Pentecost.
SPEAKER_00: So let me read that in chapter 2 of Acts.
SPEAKER_00: Because the Spirit came.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor the Spirit came.
SPEAKER_00: So in Acts chapter 2, verse 1, on the day of Pentecost, when the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
SPEAKER_00: Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
SPEAKER_00: They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
SPEAKER_00: All of them.
SPEAKER_01: All of them.
SPEAKER_00: I am saying all of them.
SPEAKER_00: Were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
SPEAKER_00: So let me read another verse in John 14.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus is praying for the disciples, and this is what he says.
SPEAKER_00: John 14, verse 16.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says this.
SPEAKER_00: And he was on praying.
SPEAKER_00: We are not the one praying.
SPEAKER_00: He's on praying.
SPEAKER_00: He says, And I will ask the Father.
SPEAKER_00: And he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you for one week.
SPEAKER_00: For how long?
SPEAKER_00: Forever.
SPEAKER_00: The Spirit of Truth.
SPEAKER_00: The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
SPEAKER_00: Now, when the Holy Spirit was given to us, he was given to us to stay inside us.
SPEAKER_00: But the Holy Spirit is power that needs to flow out.
SPEAKER_00: Now, you know very well that Kenya power, the power that is flowing right now, is not stuck at steamer house.
SPEAKER_00: It is flowing.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor it's flowing.
SPEAKER_00: And that's what we want to talk about: how to release this anointing that Jesus said the Spirit of the Lord had come upon him, and he had anointed him to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom.
SPEAKER_00: And so the anointing is not for you to admire, the anointing is for you to release.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, release the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: Tell that neighbor one more time, I have the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: You know, you must believe that.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, I have the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: And the anointing doesn't come and disappear, come and disappear.
SPEAKER_00: No, the anointing comes so that God can use you to make a difference in this world.
SPEAKER_00: So I want to talk about three things that you must do.
SPEAKER_00: Number one, let the truth fill you.
SPEAKER_00: Number two, let prayer prevail through you.
SPEAKER_00: And thirdly, let faith be activated by you.
SPEAKER_00: So there are things only you can do.
SPEAKER_00: Now, on Sunday, I was talking about the woman who had oil in her house.
SPEAKER_00: But that oil was not doing her any good until she started pouring the oil out.
SPEAKER_00: So let me read those verses for us, for those who are not here.
SPEAKER_00: 2 Kings chapter 4, verse 3.
SPEAKER_00: She was given an instruction, and she was told to begin to pour out that oil.
SPEAKER_00: Elisha said, Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars.
SPEAKER_00: Don't ask for just a few.
SPEAKER_00: Then go inside and shut the door behind you, and your sons, pour oil into all the jars.
SPEAKER_00: And as each is filled, put it to one side.
SPEAKER_00: She left him and shut the door behind her, and her sons.
SPEAKER_00: They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, she kept pouring.
SPEAKER_00: In other words, what she had, she began to release.
SPEAKER_00: She began to release.
SPEAKER_00: And so when I say let the truth fill you, that is what we call the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: When the anointing is released, truth is brought to you.
SPEAKER_00: Now let me read these verses.
SPEAKER_00: In 1 John chapter 2, verse 20.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says this, 1 John 2, 20.
SPEAKER_00: These are verses you have you may have touched before.
SPEAKER_00: It says this.
SPEAKER_00: In verse 18 of that chapter, he was teaching the disciples and saying, the Antichrist will come into the world and deceive.
SPEAKER_00: You see, one of the things, Pastor Riggs, the devil knows he cannot take away your salvation.
SPEAKER_00: He cannot unborn you.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, when I'm born again, I cannot be unborn.
SPEAKER_00: The devil cannot unborn you, so don't worry that one day your salvation will take off.
SPEAKER_00: It is a gift given to you by God.
SPEAKER_00: But the devil knows he can make you ineffective by lying to you and deceiving you so that you don't fully take opportunity of the salvation you have.
SPEAKER_00: So in verse 18, he says, Dear children, this is the last hour.
SPEAKER_00: And as you have heard, that the Antichrist is doing what?
SPEAKER_00: It's coming.
SPEAKER_00: Even now, many Antichrists have come.
SPEAKER_00: This is how we know it is the last hour.
SPEAKER_00: Next verse.
SPEAKER_00: This is some believers.
SPEAKER_00: But they do not really belong to us.
SPEAKER_00: For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us.
SPEAKER_00: But their going showed that none of them belong to us.
SPEAKER_00: But you who have stayed with us have an anointing from the Holy One.
SPEAKER_00: And all of you know the truth.
SPEAKER_00: Do not write, I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it.
SPEAKER_00: And because no lie comes from the truth.
SPEAKER_00: So now, fast forward this around verse 27.
SPEAKER_00: In verse 27, he says this.
SPEAKER_00: He's still talking about the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: He says, As for you, tell your neighbor he's talking about you.
SPEAKER_00: As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you.
SPEAKER_00: In other words, it abides in you.
SPEAKER_00: Let me read this verse in the amplified version, just verse 27.
SPEAKER_00: Because you need to know that you're anointed.
SPEAKER_00: You need to know you're anointed.
SPEAKER_00: It says, For you, the anointing, the special gift, the preparation which you receive from him, remains how permanently in you.
SPEAKER_00: And you have no need for anyone to teach you.
SPEAKER_00: But just as his anointing teaches you, giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit about all things, and is true and is not a lie.
SPEAKER_00: And just as his anointing has taught you, you must remain in him, being rooted in him, knit to him.
SPEAKER_00: Buenas if you now let me simplify this for you.
SPEAKER_00: We already saw that the reason why the Holy Spirit comes to us is number one, to reveal the father to us.
SPEAKER_00: We don't know the father.
SPEAKER_00: But the Holy Spirit helps us to know the truth about the father.
SPEAKER_00: One thing about the father is that he loves you.
SPEAKER_00: The father loves you.
SPEAKER_00: The father is not a policeman walking around with a machine gun to destroy you.
SPEAKER_00: He's a good father.
SPEAKER_00: He's a caring father.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, when Jesus tried to explain the father, he talked about the story of the prodigal son.
SPEAKER_00: And he said there was a son who was given some things by the father.
SPEAKER_00: And the son went and did his own things with it.
SPEAKER_00: Then one day he said, I'm going back to the father.
SPEAKER_00: And when he came back, the father was actually waiting for him.
SPEAKER_00: And the father ran to him, the father embraced him.
SPEAKER_00: And the father said, Clean him up, give him sandals, give him a new robe.
SPEAKER_00: Let us celebrate.
SPEAKER_00: That is the father.
SPEAKER_00: Of course, the other brother thought this was very unfair for the father to treat this younger one like that.
SPEAKER_00: But let me tell you this: the truth that the Holy Spirit brings to us is that God loves you and God cares about you, and God will never leave you.
SPEAKER_00: God will never forsake you.
SPEAKER_00: God will never abandon you.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus said, I will not leave you as orphans.
SPEAKER_00: Don't feel like an orphan.
SPEAKER_00: Don't feel helpless in this world.
SPEAKER_00: The deception of the devil is that you are alone, that God has left you, that God will not forgive you.
SPEAKER_00: That God will judge you.
SPEAKER_00: It's true, God will judge the world, but he will judge those who did not believe in him.
SPEAKER_00: But for you who have believed in him and you have become his son, you've become his child, you are the beloved of the Father.
SPEAKER_00: So the Holy Spirit gives us the truth about the Father, but also the Holy Spirit gives us the truth about the Son.
SPEAKER_00: He reveals to us who the Son is.
SPEAKER_00: You have a big brother sitting in heaven.
SPEAKER_00: I'm saying you have a big brother sitting in heaven.
SPEAKER_00: He reveals to us, Jesus is not a weak person.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says, if God is for us, who can be against us?
SPEAKER_00: He who did not spare his own son, but delivered him us for us all.
SPEAKER_00: Will he not give us all things?
SPEAKER_00: So one of the truths the Holy Spirit brings to our attention is about who Christ is.
SPEAKER_00: And Jesus said, You shall know the truth, and the truth shall do what?
SPEAKER_00: Shall set you free.
SPEAKER_00: But thirdly, the Holy Spirit comes to reveal the truth about you.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, he comes to tell me about me.
SPEAKER_00: Why?
SPEAKER_00: Because the devil has lied to you so long.
SPEAKER_00: Let me read these verses.
SPEAKER_00: Second Corinthians chapter 5.
SPEAKER_00: We are reading from verse 14.
SPEAKER_00: 2 Corinthians.
SPEAKER_00: Go back to NIV.
SPEAKER_00: We are going to read those verses.
SPEAKER_00: It says, For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
SPEAKER_00: And he died for all.
SPEAKER_00: That those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again.
SPEAKER_00: So from now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view.
SPEAKER_00: Let me read that statement slowly.
SPEAKER_00: From now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, don't look at me with worldly eyes.
SPEAKER_00: Tell the other neighbor who did not respond, don't look at me with worldly eyes.
SPEAKER_00: In fact, don't look at yourself with worldly eyes.
SPEAKER_00: So from now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view.
SPEAKER_00: Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
SPEAKER_00: Why?
SPEAKER_00: Therefore, if anyone is where?
SPEAKER_00: He's in Christ.
SPEAKER_00: The new creation has come.
SPEAKER_00: The old has gone, the new is here.
SPEAKER_00: All this is from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
SPEAKER_00: In other words, what he's saying is this.
SPEAKER_00: And Pastor Rick, sometimes it takes years for us to know who we are.
SPEAKER_00: That's why the Holy Spirit has come to reveal the new me to me.
SPEAKER_00: Hello?
SPEAKER_00: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor, don't think you're seeing the person you thought you are seeing.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: Remember how Gideon looked at himself, Peter.
SPEAKER_00: When God came and told Gideon, You are a mighty man of valor.
SPEAKER_00: Gideon says, Uh-uh, not me.
SPEAKER_00: I am from the least clan.
SPEAKER_00: I am nothing.
SPEAKER_00: I'm finished.
SPEAKER_00: God is saying, You are a mighty man of valor, you are a warrior.
SPEAKER_00: By that time, Pastor Riggs, you know what Gideon was doing?
SPEAKER_00: He was farming.
SPEAKER_00: But he is a soldier.
SPEAKER_00: A soldier who is farming.
SPEAKER_00: Hello?
SPEAKER_00: Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor the devil should not deceive you.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, you are a mighty man of valor.
SPEAKER_00: You're a champion.
SPEAKER_00: You know, one time there was a man who was giving money to beggars.
SPEAKER_00: So this man one day came to this beggar and looked at the beggar two, three, four times and said, He didn't give him money.
SPEAKER_00: He looked at him and he said, You're a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: This guy who is begging first thought this guy is joking with him.
SPEAKER_00: So he the man said, You're a businessman.
SPEAKER_01: And then he pulled out his pen, his nice pen.
SPEAKER_00: His business pen.
SPEAKER_00: Pulled out a pen like this and gave it to him, not a coin.
SPEAKER_00: Pulled out a pen like this and gave it to him and said, You are a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: And he left.
SPEAKER_00: Now, this guy who is sitting there begging with a few coins in the in the in the in the in the in the bakuli.
SPEAKER_00: What would you call bakuli in English?
SPEAKER_00: In the ball, your story, the record started playing in his head.
SPEAKER_00: You're a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: Because for a long time he kept saying, I am a beggar.
SPEAKER_00: I am a beggar.
SPEAKER_00: I only need coins.
SPEAKER_00: I'm a beggar.
SPEAKER_00: Now this man in a suit comes and puts a pen in his hand and says, You are a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: This guy went home and that record played in his head, and he woke up and something opened in his mind.
SPEAKER_00: And he said, I'm a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: Six months later, this same guy who had given him a pen was walking through one of the shops and entered one of the shops, and he was shocked to see the beggar in the shop selling.
SPEAKER_00: You know what he was selling?
SPEAKER_00: Selling pens, beautiful pens, expensive pens.
SPEAKER_00: And this guy was in a nice suit, nice shirt, and he this man then asked, I thought you are the beggar I found the other day.
SPEAKER_00: He says, No, I'm not that beggar.
SPEAKER_00: You told me I am a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: And now this is what I do.
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit, Pastor Riggs, is that man who came to the beggar and said, You're a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit is the one coming to you and says, You're a new creation.
SPEAKER_00: You're a brand new person.
SPEAKER_00: The devil says you're nothing, you're not, you are weak, you are defeated.
SPEAKER_00: Is nothing.
SPEAKER_00: God is saying, uh-uh, I know the plans I have for you.
SPEAKER_00: Plans for welfare, not for evil, to give you a future and the whole and a hope.
SPEAKER_00: So who will you believe?
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit, or will you believe the devil who is deceiving the world and saying you're nothing?
SPEAKER_00: There is an anointing in you.
SPEAKER_00: And God is saying that anointing will teach you into truth.
SPEAKER_00: You are a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking to somebody online, maybe you never heard of that before.
SPEAKER_00: And I'm saying to you, God is saying to you in the spirit, you are a businessman.
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking to somebody here, you are a celeb.
SPEAKER_00: Right now, even in your house, they don't know you.
SPEAKER_00: But they will know you.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor, they are going to know me.
SPEAKER_00: They are going to know me.
SPEAKER_00: Like Joseph.
SPEAKER_00: Joseph, nobody knew Joseph.
SPEAKER_00: The friends were saying, Hey, you're nothing.
SPEAKER_00: David comes to look.
SPEAKER_00: King Sol, I mean, Samuel comes to look for a king in the house of David, the house of Jesse.
SPEAKER_00: Comes to this brother, not this one.
SPEAKER_00: Come to this brother, not this one.
SPEAKER_00: Where is David?
SPEAKER_00: In the field.
SPEAKER_00: The Lord is my shepherd.
SPEAKER_00: I shall not want.
SPEAKER_00: This shepherd boy, this guy who is being pushed aside, has an anointing to become the king of Israel.
SPEAKER_00: And when Samuel saw him, he said, the Spirit said, anoint him.
SPEAKER_00: He's the king of Israel.
SPEAKER_00: Do you know what God is saying to you right now?
SPEAKER_00: You're a child of the king.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, some people abuse you, they push you, they say you'll not, there's nothing, you don't have papers.
SPEAKER_00: Next time, tell that person, hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: I'm going far.
SPEAKER_00: Why?
SPEAKER_00: Because the anointing in me is teaching me.
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit is teaching you not to be what you are, but to be who God intended you to be.
SPEAKER_00: That right now you're not even aware.
SPEAKER_00: So begin to believe what the Holy Spirit is saying.
SPEAKER_00: He'll say what Jesus says, He'll tell you.
SPEAKER_00: He'll tell you about God, He'll tell you about Jesus.
SPEAKER_01: But He'll tell you more about you.
SPEAKER_01: Look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor, I'm royalty.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor I'm not a hustler.
SPEAKER_00: Somebody lied to you.
SPEAKER_00: You're not a hustler.
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking to somebody here one more time.
SPEAKER_00: You're not a hustler.
SPEAKER_00: Stop defining yourself as a hustler.
SPEAKER_00: You're a child of the king.
SPEAKER_00: You have things to deliver, you have things to flow.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says, out of your innermost being will flow rivers of living water, new ideas, new innovations, new creativities will flow from you, new ideas, books are seated inside you.
SPEAKER_00: Poems are seated inside you.
SPEAKER_00: One of the best songs is still sitting inside you.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: But who tells you these things?
SPEAKER_00: The anointing.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing is not given to you for you to start shaking, shaking.
SPEAKER_00: The anointed is given to you for you to open your eyes.
SPEAKER_00: Let me read this verse.
SPEAKER_00: 1 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 9.
SPEAKER_00: Are you learning something?
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor one more time you're not a hustler.
SPEAKER_00: You're royalty.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says this, however, as it is written, what no eye has done what?
SPEAKER_00: Seen.
SPEAKER_00: What no ear has?
SPEAKER_00: Heard.
SPEAKER_00: And what no human mind has conceived.
SPEAKER_00: The things God has prepared for those who do what?
SPEAKER_00: Who love him.
SPEAKER_00: And then he says, These are the things God has revealed to us by his spirit.
SPEAKER_00: The spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
SPEAKER_00: In verse 12, which goes down there, it says this.
SPEAKER_00: Verse 12 to 12, what we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given to us.
SPEAKER_00: One has fewer.
SPEAKER_00: One more time, look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor, I'm not a hustler.
SPEAKER_00: I'm royalty.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing is inside me.
SPEAKER_00: Yes, I'm breaking that in Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: You are soaring up.
SPEAKER_00: They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
SPEAKER_00: They shall mount up with wings like eagles.
SPEAKER_00: They shall run and not be wary.
SPEAKER_00: They shall walk and not faint.
SPEAKER_00: Many, for many years, Peter thought he was a hustler.
SPEAKER_00: Peter, not this one.
SPEAKER_00: Peter, Jesus said, You are Cephas.
SPEAKER_00: Cephas means you're a reed in the waters.
SPEAKER_00: The wind blows and you go this way, the wind blows, and then Jesus comes and says, From now on, you'll be a rock.
SPEAKER_00: Peter saying, Are you sure?
SPEAKER_00: But me have been being thrown this way every day.
SPEAKER_00: God is saying, uh-uh, you're a rock.
SPEAKER_00: And then Jesus came and said, Stop fishing.
SPEAKER_00: I will make you fishers of men.
SPEAKER_00: And on the day of Pentecost, Peter stood up and spoke.
SPEAKER_00: This guy who had never spoken before, this guy who was told by a small girl, I thought you were with Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: He says, I don't know this Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: And then another one says, Ah, Bana, you are with Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: He says, I was not with Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: He says, Bana, your accent.
SPEAKER_00: In a kulemea.
SPEAKER_00: Peter, I don't know that man.
SPEAKER_00: Riggs, the same guy on the day of Pentecost stood up and talked about Jesus and 3,000 people came into the kingdom.
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit had revealed to Peter who he is.
SPEAKER_00: But very quickly, because I was not going to stay here for long.
SPEAKER_00: Number two.
SPEAKER_00: So let the truth fill you.
SPEAKER_00: Number two, let prayer prevail through you.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing is released by prayer.
SPEAKER_00: Acts chapter 4, verse 29.
SPEAKER_00: Let me read this very quickly because somebody is being set free tonight.
SPEAKER_00: Prayer.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor prayer.
SPEAKER_00: Now these guys are praying, and this is what they said.
SPEAKER_00: Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
SPEAKER_00: Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Then the Bible says, after they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking to somebody tonight and I'm saying, through prevailing prayer, the anointing will make you bold.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing will make you courageous.
SPEAKER_00: You know, when Joshua was told to go and inherit the land, he got scared.
SPEAKER_00: Because he had depended on Moses for a long time.
SPEAKER_00: So God had to assure him and encourage him.
SPEAKER_00: Now listen to what God told him in Joshua chapter 1, starting with verse 2.
SPEAKER_00: Let me read from verse 2.
SPEAKER_00: Joshua chapter 1, verse 2.
SPEAKER_00: God is trying to help them to become bold.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says, Moses, my servant, is what?
SPEAKER_00: Is dead.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah.
SPEAKER_00: You are here now.
SPEAKER_00: Moses, my servant, is dead.
SPEAKER_00: Now then you and all these people get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I'm about to give to them, to the Israelites.
SPEAKER_00: I will give you every place, every place, every place where you set your foot as I promised Moses.
SPEAKER_00: Then God gives him the boundaries.
SPEAKER_00: He says, Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon and from the great river Euphrates, all the heated country to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.
SPEAKER_00: Then he said, Be strong.
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking to somebody, I'm saying, be strong.
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking to somebody online, I'm saying, be strong.
SPEAKER_00: There are territories that God has promised you, but you're saying, uh-uh, Suezi Ingeuko, I cannot enter there.
SPEAKER_00: I don't have the education to enter there.
SPEAKER_00: I don't have connections to enter there.
SPEAKER_00: I'm not entering.
SPEAKER_00: God is saying, uh-uh, I've given you the territory.
SPEAKER_00: Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I saw to their ancestors to give them.
SPEAKER_00: He goes on to say, Be strong and very courageous.
SPEAKER_00: Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you.
SPEAKER_00: Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.
SPEAKER_00: Then remind his repeats: keep this book on the law of the law, always on your lips, meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
SPEAKER_00: Then, then, then you'll be prosperous.
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking to somebody here, I'm saying you'll be prosperous.
SPEAKER_00: I'm saying you'll be prosperous.
SPEAKER_00: Ah, but you don't need capital.
SPEAKER_00: You need the king of kings.
SPEAKER_00: Then you'll be prosperous.
SPEAKER_00: And what?
SPEAKER_00: Successful.
SPEAKER_00: Then verse 9.
SPEAKER_00: Have I not commanded you?
SPEAKER_00: You know, Pastor Rings forgot to repeat these things.
SPEAKER_00: This guy was scared to death.
SPEAKER_00: Have I not commanded you?
SPEAKER_00: Be strong and courageous.
SPEAKER_00: Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.
SPEAKER_00: For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
SPEAKER_00: So tell your neighbor, the Lord will be with me wherever I go.
SPEAKER_01: Believe it.
SPEAKER_00: So when they prayed, God gave them boldness.
SPEAKER_00: So may you pray and allow the anointing to energize you with boldness.
SPEAKER_00: But thirdly, let faith be activated by you.
SPEAKER_00: Because the anointing that God releases in you unlocks the impossible into possibilities.
SPEAKER_00: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor, my impossibilities are about to be unlocked by the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: So let me ask again.
SPEAKER_00: I asked this at the beginning, and I told you what you have.
SPEAKER_00: I told you you have the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: So let me ask.
SPEAKER_00: How many are sitting here and you have the anointing?
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, be bold, be bold.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
SPEAKER_00: Just lift your hand up.
SPEAKER_00: Okay, put it down.
SPEAKER_00: You know, sometimes the reason why you're scared sometimes to put up your hand.
SPEAKER_00: As if the anointing is a feeling.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing is not a feeling.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing is a Holy Spirit inside you.
SPEAKER_00: You don't have to start feeling hot and feeling cold.
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit is not an emotion.
SPEAKER_00: The Holy Spirit is God.
SPEAKER_00: Once you begin to declare that the anointing is in me, very soon that anointing will begin to flow.
SPEAKER_00: Out of your innermost being, not out of heaven, out of your innermost being will flow rivers of living water.
SPEAKER_00: So in this last part, you need faith.
SPEAKER_00: Faith is like a switch.
SPEAKER_00: Ilonna turn on, I'm on a turn off.
SPEAKER_00: But faith, when you turn faith on, it releases the anointing that causes impossibilities to become possibilities.
SPEAKER_00: Let me read these verses and then we'll tie this up today.
SPEAKER_00: Hebrews chapter 11, verse 32.
SPEAKER_00: See how some people used their faith to unlock impossibilities that became possibilities.
SPEAKER_00: It says this, and what more shall I say?
SPEAKER_00: I do not have time to tell you about Gideon.
SPEAKER_00: Now you remember what I said about Gideon?
SPEAKER_00: He unlocked his weakness and found strength.
SPEAKER_00: And what more shall I say?
SPEAKER_00: I do not have time to tell you about Gideon.
SPEAKER_00: Barak.
SPEAKER_00: Jephthah.
SPEAKER_00: And by the way, Pastor Riggs, I don't know if you notice the names.
SPEAKER_00: All these guys had issues.
SPEAKER_00: Gideon was scared to death.
SPEAKER_00: And God had to encourage him.
SPEAKER_00: Barak, not the president.
SPEAKER_00: Barak.
SPEAKER_00: You remember Barak?
SPEAKER_00: Barak was so scared, and he told Deborah, if you don't go with me, and God said, I was going to give you the victory, but I'll give it to a woman.
SPEAKER_00: And Gile got the victory.
SPEAKER_00: And yet God is putting them in this list of men who woke up and made a difference.
SPEAKER_00: So there's Gideon, there's Barak, Samson.
SPEAKER_00: Did Samson have problems?
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking to you.
SPEAKER_00: But he was anointed.
SPEAKER_00: The other one, Jephthah have you.
SPEAKER_00: Do you know Jephthah?
SPEAKER_00: What was the problem with Jephthah?
SPEAKER_00: It was not really a problem, it was a tug.
SPEAKER_00: He was tagged because his mother was a prostitute.
SPEAKER_00: But Jephthah was used by God to deliver Israel.
SPEAKER_00: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor.
SPEAKER_01: You don't come to God qualified.
SPEAKER_01: He qualifies you when you show up.
SPEAKER_00: So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor, Passian Messermaniko qualified.
SPEAKER_00: It's not just me.
SPEAKER_00: God has qualified you.
SPEAKER_00: You are qualified.
SPEAKER_00: And you better declare it.
SPEAKER_00: Pastor Riggs, you remember the story I usually tell about this guy who went for an interview.
SPEAKER_00: And he had nothing.
SPEAKER_00: So an arrive.
SPEAKER_00: Then when he looked at the people bench wangiakwa interview, ah, people me be bana na vitabu.
SPEAKER_00: I'm finished.
SPEAKER_00: I'm done.
SPEAKER_00: There's nothing.
SPEAKER_00: But something entered into him.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: He told the guy who was in front of him, give me a piece of paper.
SPEAKER_00: The guy gave him a piece of paper.
SPEAKER_00: He got the piece of paper and then he wrote something on that paper.
SPEAKER_00: Then, well, before he was called, he now went into the interview room and told the people, I'm coming back.
SPEAKER_00: I'm just keep my space.
SPEAKER_00: I'm coming back.
SPEAKER_00: That's courage.
SPEAKER_00: He enters into the interview panel place and he tells them, Excuse me, I just have a note to drop to you.
SPEAKER_00: Nitoke.
SPEAKER_00: So he went and dropped it.
SPEAKER_00: Somebody was already being interviewed.
SPEAKER_00: He dropped the note to that guy and he left.
SPEAKER_00: And these guys who stopped interviewing and said, What is this guy?
SPEAKER_00: What is this note?
SPEAKER_00: So they got the note, they opened it, and it was written, I am 29 on the line.
SPEAKER_00: I am the person you're looking for.
SPEAKER_00: Do you know the interview got finished?
SPEAKER_00: Because the panelist said, Who is this who says that he's the person we're looking for?
SPEAKER_00: Do you know they told everybody else to leave?
SPEAKER_00: The interview was finished.
SPEAKER_00: They got that guy number 29 on the line, they gave him the job.
SPEAKER_00: No qualifications?
SPEAKER_00: But because he said, I am the person you're looking for.
SPEAKER_00: Do you have that courage to stand before God and say, if you're going to change this city, I am the person you're looking for.
SPEAKER_00: If you're going to change my family, I'm the person you're looking for.
SPEAKER_00: If this city is going to have one of the blessed millionaires, I am the person you're looking for.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says the eyes of the Lord go to and fro, looking for a man that he may show himself mighty on their behalf.
SPEAKER_00: And then the Bible says, and he found none.
SPEAKER_00: May you be the one.
SPEAKER_00: I'm saying, may you be the one.
SPEAKER_00: So these are the guys, and what more shall I say?
SPEAKER_00: I do not have the time to tell you about Gideon, about Barak, about Samson, about Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised, who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword, whose weakness was turned to strength, and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah! Women received back their dead, raised to life.
SPEAKER_00: There were others who were also tortured, all kinds of things.
SPEAKER_00: But these men released their faith and amazing things happened.
SPEAKER_00: Release the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: Please stand on your feet.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing will bring truth to you.
SPEAKER_00: The anointing will cause your prayers to prevail.
SPEAKER_00: And the anointing will cause your faith to unlock impossibilities, and they'll become possible.
SPEAKER_00: So look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor I'm not a hustler, I'm anointed for exploits.
SPEAKER_00: I'm a child of the king.
SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: Tell your neighbor what you see in front is just not me.
SPEAKER_00: What is in me?
SPEAKER_00: When I come out here, my friend, the world will be shaken.
SPEAKER_00: Because inside me is the anointing.
SPEAKER_00: I am anointed.
SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name.
SPEAKER_00: Somebody better give God a big hand and tell him thank you.
SPEAKER_00: And so, as I pray and later you enjoy a cup of tea and fellowship, encourage one another.
SPEAKER_00: Those of you watching online, thank you for doing that.
SPEAKER_00: And thank you for worshiping with us.
SPEAKER_00: And may this word go right inside your spirit, and may you arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Let's pray.
SPEAKER_00: Father, we thank you for tonight, and we thank you for your word.
SPEAKER_00: That the Holy Spirit not only brings truth about the Father, not only brings truth about Christ, but he also brings truth about who we are in Christ.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says that if anyone is in Christ, he's a new creation.
SPEAKER_00: The old has passed away.
SPEAKER_00: Behold, the new has come.
SPEAKER_00: Paul said in Galatians 2 20, I have been crucified with Christ.
SPEAKER_00: It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.
SPEAKER_00: And the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
SPEAKER_00: Tonight, Holy Spirit, reveal.
SPEAKER_00: Reveal us to ourselves.
SPEAKER_00: Show us who we really are.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible says, for you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God.
SPEAKER_00: Father, may we see ourselves the way you see us, so that we can be like Joshua, whom you said, be strong and courageous, for I am with you wherever you go.
SPEAKER_00: Tonight, Lord, we thank you that as we pray that we have a breakthrough and the anointing gives us boldness.
SPEAKER_00: And that, Father, this same anointing allows us to release our faith, and what is impossible becomes possible.
SPEAKER_00: Master, as I release us tonight, I pray that your favor will be with us.
SPEAKER_00: I pray that we will allow that anointing that is in us begin to flow like rivers of living water.
SPEAKER_00: Father, thank you tonight.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for those watching us and fellowshipping with us online.
SPEAKER_00: Thank you for those who are here tonight.
SPEAKER_00: And Lord, even as I command a blessing upon them, may your favor accompany them in a fresh way.
SPEAKER_00: This I have prayed in faith and thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_00: And if you believe it, you better say, I receive it.
SPEAKER_00: I take it.
SPEAKER_00: It is my portion.
SPEAKER_00: And there's nothing the devil can do about it.
SPEAKER_00: So lift up your hand as I command a blessing upon you tonight.
SPEAKER_00: Father, in the name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: Those who are in-house here and those online, I want to pray a blessing upon them.
SPEAKER_00: And I want to decree and declare in the name that is above every name.
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord bless you.
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord make his face to shine upon you.
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord be gracious to you.
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord do you good.
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord bless you when you come in.
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord bless you when you go out.
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord bless you when you sit down.
SPEAKER_00: May the Lord bless you when you rise up.
SPEAKER_00: And may the anointing that is already in you lead you into truth.
SPEAKER_00: Cause your prayers to prevail and cause your faith to unlock the impossibilities to become possibilities.
SPEAKER_00: You are blessed in the city.
SPEAKER_00: You're blessed in the countryside.
SPEAKER_00: You're blessed locally.
SPEAKER_00: You're blessed internationally.
SPEAKER_00: And some of you who have not even gone international, this blessing is taking you there.
SPEAKER_00: Opening doors for you that no man can shut.
SPEAKER_00: You are blessed to become a blessing.
SPEAKER_00: You are favored to be favorable.
SPEAKER_00: You're lifted to lift others up.
SPEAKER_00: You're destined to shine in the mighty name of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: And today I release God's angels to accompany you and to bring you home safely.
SPEAKER_00: And that the rest of the week you will have a testimony.
SPEAKER_00: This I have prayed in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, and the name of the Holy Spirit.
SPEAKER_00: And God's people said, Come on, let's give God a big hand.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: And now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forevermore.
SPEAKER_00: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives, and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever.
unknown: Amen.
