WEBVTT

00:00:10.710 --> 00:00:14.710
<v SPEAKER_00>He leadeth me beside still waters.

00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:19.910
<v SPEAKER_00>For his name's sake.

00:00:22.550 --> 00:00:29.589
<v SPEAKER_00>E though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.

00:00:30.550 --> 00:00:34.469
<v SPEAKER_00>For thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff.

00:00:35.109 --> 00:00:36.789
<v SPEAKER_00>They comfort me.

00:00:37.269 --> 00:00:43.670
<v SPEAKER_00>Thou prepareth a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

00:00:43.990 --> 00:00:47.350
<v SPEAKER_00>Thou anointeth my head with oil.

00:00:48.229 --> 00:00:51.109
<v SPEAKER_00>My cup runneth over.

00:00:52.310 --> 00:01:08.229
<v SPEAKER_00>Surely goodness and mercy, surely goodness and mercy shall chase after you, shall follow you all the days of your life.

00:01:08.870 --> 00:01:22.629
<v SPEAKER_00>I decree and declare, surely goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life.

00:01:23.030 --> 00:01:24.230
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:01:24.790 --> 00:01:25.430
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen.

00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:32.790
<v SPEAKER_00>In his presence there is fullness of joy.

00:01:33.909 --> 00:01:37.750
<v SPEAKER_00>In his presence there is healing.

00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:42.390
<v SPEAKER_00>In his presence there is peace.

00:01:43.349 --> 00:01:47.189
<v SPEAKER_00>In his presence there is breakthrough.

00:01:47.590 --> 00:01:52.870
<v SPEAKER_00>In his presence there will be fresh anointing this morning.

00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:59.989
<v SPEAKER_00>In his presence, every yoke will be broken this morning.

00:02:00.549 --> 00:02:19.750
<v SPEAKER_00>In his presence, wrong spirits, spirits that are not of God, spirits that are rebellious, spirits that are concretized in their opinions will be demolished in the name of Jesus.

00:02:20.389 --> 00:02:21.590
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:02:22.150 --> 00:02:33.270
<v SPEAKER_00>Oh, I cleanse this atmosphere right now with the precious blood of Jesus.

00:02:33.590 --> 00:02:34.550
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:02:34.949 --> 00:02:37.750
<v SPEAKER_00>You agree with me, say amen.

00:02:41.590 --> 00:02:45.830
<v SPEAKER_00>Second Corinthians chapter 5, verse 7.

00:02:46.870 --> 00:02:51.990
<v SPEAKER_00>For we walk by faith, not by sigh.

00:02:52.789 --> 00:02:58.469
<v SPEAKER_00>For we live by believing and not by seeing.

00:02:59.189 --> 00:03:11.349
<v SPEAKER_00>This is the greatest hope of a Christian, and we should never take our focus away from this truth.

00:03:12.550 --> 00:03:20.150
<v SPEAKER_00>Our whole Christian belief system should be anchored on this truth.

00:03:20.469 --> 00:03:52.069
<v SPEAKER_00>So whatever, whatever is happening around us, whatever the circumstances may appear to be, no matter how discouraging, no matter how unclear, no matter how bleak the path may appear before you, never fear, for my God is bigger than all my circumstances.

00:03:52.389 --> 00:03:53.509
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:03:53.990 --> 00:04:04.069
<v SPEAKER_00>God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and self-control.

00:04:04.629 --> 00:04:08.469
<v SPEAKER_00>Second Timothy chapter 1, verse 7.

00:04:08.789 --> 00:04:15.430
<v SPEAKER_00>Here's something you need to understand very clearly.

00:04:16.069 --> 00:04:30.870
<v SPEAKER_00>The strategy of the enemy is to show you all the negative things that are around us so that he can keep you there crippled in fear.

00:04:32.069 --> 00:04:35.990
<v SPEAKER_00>Have you ever come across some people?

00:04:47.750 --> 00:04:53.110
<v SPEAKER_00>And sometimes you feel like going home and taking a shower.

00:04:54.870 --> 00:05:11.750
<v SPEAKER_00>If you are not careful, and if you keep exposing yourself to this kind of talk, this kind of people, over a period of time, you will begin to speak like that.

00:05:13.189 --> 00:05:14.149
<v SPEAKER_00>Is it real?

00:05:15.029 --> 00:05:15.990
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:05:16.550 --> 00:05:18.790
<v SPEAKER_00>You will start talking like that.

00:05:19.110 --> 00:05:28.870
<v SPEAKER_00>Whatever has happened to their faith, you can you can't calculate God's goodness.

00:05:31.509 --> 00:05:47.589
<v SPEAKER_00>If you look at things in the natural, you will be discouraged and disappointed because our human understanding is very limited.

00:05:49.269 --> 00:05:59.589
<v SPEAKER_00>On the other hand, if you walk by faith, faith will always reward us.

00:06:01.990 --> 00:06:06.949
<v SPEAKER_00>Look at Hebrews 11 verse 6.

00:06:08.230 --> 00:06:13.350
<v SPEAKER_00>Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

00:06:14.709 --> 00:06:27.990
<v SPEAKER_00>Because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

00:06:28.870 --> 00:06:31.189
<v SPEAKER_00>Faith is a rewarder.

00:06:32.069 --> 00:06:33.829
<v SPEAKER_00>How many of you know that?

00:06:34.870 --> 00:06:36.709
<v SPEAKER_00>Faith rewards.

00:06:37.829 --> 00:06:46.870
<v SPEAKER_00>Needless to say, the reward comes to us in different forms, in different ways.

00:06:47.029 --> 00:06:54.629
<v SPEAKER_00>Sometimes is in a form of blessing and gifts when you walk by faith.

00:06:55.350 --> 00:07:09.829
<v SPEAKER_00>One particular gift of reward to those who walk by faith, which is very, very important in our lives, is discernment.

00:07:11.430 --> 00:07:13.990
<v SPEAKER_00>By the way, what is discernment?

00:07:15.269 --> 00:07:25.829
<v SPEAKER_00>It is one of the supernatural enabling powers of God given to those who walk by faith.

00:07:26.709 --> 00:07:45.589
<v SPEAKER_00>Discernment is like a rada that guides you beyond your human level of intelligence, beyond your human level of intuition, beyond your human limitation.

00:07:49.509 --> 00:07:54.470
<v SPEAKER_00>It is the anointing backed up by the Holy Spirit.

00:07:54.709 --> 00:07:59.430
<v SPEAKER_00>It is the anointing backed up by the Word of God.

00:08:00.790 --> 00:08:11.990
<v SPEAKER_00>One particular good example from the Bible is taken from 1 Chronicles chapter 12.

00:08:12.389 --> 00:08:23.430
<v SPEAKER_00>It says the sons of Issachar, we are told, was a unique tribe of Israel.

00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:31.189
<v SPEAKER_00>They understood the seasons and times that Israel was going through.

00:08:31.910 --> 00:08:42.070
<v SPEAKER_00>So much so they became a prominent member in the Sanhedrin, in the courts of Israel.

00:08:43.509 --> 00:08:50.789
<v SPEAKER_00>They had a deep understanding of the times and seasons in Israel.

00:08:51.190 --> 00:08:56.950
<v SPEAKER_00>They knew precisely what was God doing.

00:08:57.269 --> 00:09:04.789
<v SPEAKER_00>How was God moving in the time, in the seasons in Israel?

00:09:05.029 --> 00:09:06.389
<v SPEAKER_00>They knew.

00:09:07.669 --> 00:09:13.429
<v SPEAKER_00>They could discern what was God doing and how God was moving.

00:09:13.990 --> 00:09:18.629
<v SPEAKER_00>They carried the anointing of discernment.

00:09:18.870 --> 00:09:24.149
<v SPEAKER_00>They knew how to predict and apply divine timing.

00:09:24.710 --> 00:09:28.870
<v SPEAKER_00>They knew how to apply strategic wisdom.

00:09:29.190 --> 00:09:44.549
<v SPEAKER_00>Therefore, they influence, they influence the course and direction that Israel needed to take in some of the crucial seasons in the history of Israel.

00:09:45.830 --> 00:10:10.789
<v SPEAKER_00>If you don't have this power, listen to me, if you don't have this power as a born-again Christian, if you don't have this supernatural ability, then you will end up like a ship lost in the open sea without any direction.

00:10:11.909 --> 00:10:24.309
<v SPEAKER_00>Those who carry the spirit of Issaca will understand the times and seasons we are living in today.

00:10:25.669 --> 00:10:27.429
<v SPEAKER_00>Are you understanding me?

00:10:27.990 --> 00:10:37.590
<v SPEAKER_00>The world is selling us a lot of garbage today because they want to attract us and learn us.

00:10:38.149 --> 00:10:55.590
<v SPEAKER_00>Many people are being deceived by some prophets who come along marketing themselves and prophesizing generic prophecies that don't mean anything at all.

00:10:59.110 --> 00:11:11.509
<v SPEAKER_00>Satan's greatest strategy is to entrap us and enslave us so that he can take control of our life.

00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:27.750
<v SPEAKER_00>I wonder how many of you are aware that there is a spiritual battle that is going on in the unseen world.

00:11:28.710 --> 00:11:52.549
<v SPEAKER_00>For every spiritual battle that you are fighting in the physical world, for every battle that you are fighting in the physical world, there is a spiritual battle that is going on in the spiritual realm.

00:11:54.470 --> 00:12:03.590
<v SPEAKER_00>The unseen battle that is going on in the spiritual realm, in the spiritual realm behind the natural.

00:12:39.350 --> 00:12:46.789
<v SPEAKER_00>As children of God, we need to be cautious and wise to live in this world.

00:12:47.269 --> 00:12:52.710
<v SPEAKER_00>We are a product of what we consume.

00:12:53.429 --> 00:12:54.389
<v SPEAKER_00>Is that real?

00:12:55.350 --> 00:12:57.509
<v SPEAKER_00>Garbage in, garbage out.

00:12:59.029 --> 00:13:19.750
<v SPEAKER_00>Whatever we entertain in our hearts, and if we don't evaluate and examine it carefully, and if it is not in line with God's word, it will obviously contaminate our heart.

00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:30.230
<v SPEAKER_00>And eventually it will express itself, it will manifest itself in our lives.

00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:33.990
<v SPEAKER_00>Are you understanding me?

00:13:34.870 --> 00:13:40.549
<v SPEAKER_00>Whatever you tolerate, you will accommodate.

00:13:45.269 --> 00:13:49.190
<v SPEAKER_00>Guard your heart with all diligence.

00:13:49.750 --> 00:13:54.710
<v SPEAKER_00>For from it determines the course of your life.

00:13:55.429 --> 00:14:09.509
<v SPEAKER_00>The course of your life, the direction of your life, the destiny of your life is determined by the way you guard your heart.

00:14:10.549 --> 00:14:16.549
<v SPEAKER_00>How many of you realize that life is a journey?

00:14:19.590 --> 00:14:25.990
<v SPEAKER_00>The moment God touched you, you were not the same anymore.

00:14:26.789 --> 00:14:36.789
<v SPEAKER_00>The moment you surrendered yourself to the Lord, you started this journey with a completely different mindset.

00:14:38.149 --> 00:14:49.590
<v SPEAKER_00>For example, you start at point A and you end your journey at some other point that God has destined for you.

00:14:50.309 --> 00:14:52.629
<v SPEAKER_00>God has designed for you.

00:14:53.269 --> 00:15:01.590
<v SPEAKER_00>But unfortunately, some people start the journey at point A and die in the same point.

00:15:04.309 --> 00:15:06.470
<v SPEAKER_00>Apparently they never grew.

00:15:08.870 --> 00:15:16.149
<v SPEAKER_00>And that indeed is a very sad tragedy for a Christian.

00:15:18.149 --> 00:15:30.549
<v SPEAKER_00>How you navigate this journey will shape and determine where and how you will end up.

00:15:31.909 --> 00:15:35.669
<v SPEAKER_00>In this journey you will learn, you will unlearn.

00:15:37.350 --> 00:15:57.750
<v SPEAKER_00>In this journey you will be hurt, you will be disappointed, you will be happy, you will be sad, you will experience different seasons, different challenges, different setbacks.

00:15:58.070 --> 00:16:03.029
<v SPEAKER_00>It's a mixture of good and bad experience.

00:16:03.509 --> 00:16:04.789
<v SPEAKER_00>But you know what?

00:16:05.350 --> 00:16:12.870
<v SPEAKER_00>Some people start off very well, but they finish very poorly.

00:16:14.549 --> 00:16:16.549
<v SPEAKER_00>Please listen to me.

00:16:17.590 --> 00:16:34.549
<v SPEAKER_00>The real thing that matters in anybody's life, no matter who you are, is whether you are able to live a lasting legacy behind.

00:16:35.429 --> 00:16:42.549
<v SPEAKER_00>That you can say in this life, I have modeled Christ.

00:16:43.909 --> 00:16:47.750
<v SPEAKER_00>And that's the difference it will make at the end of the day.

00:16:47.990 --> 00:17:00.070
<v SPEAKER_00>Otherwise, everything you have worked for, everything you have been chasing after will end up with no eternal value at all.

00:17:02.789 --> 00:17:20.390
<v SPEAKER_00>But at the end of the day, if you have the resilience to endure and keep walking in God, in God's ways, God will form his character in you.

00:17:21.109 --> 00:17:25.829
<v SPEAKER_00>And he will use you mightily in his kingdom.

00:17:26.390 --> 00:17:29.190
<v SPEAKER_00>James chapter 1, verse 12.

00:17:29.910 --> 00:17:35.750
<v SPEAKER_00>Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial.

00:17:36.630 --> 00:17:47.829
<v SPEAKER_00>For when he has took the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

00:17:49.109 --> 00:17:54.390
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah! You're not responding, I'm very quiet.

00:17:54.789 --> 00:17:58.069
<v SPEAKER_00>Are you sitting in the comfort zone?

00:17:58.230 --> 00:17:58.869
<v SPEAKER_00>I think.

00:17:59.190 --> 00:18:04.549
<v SPEAKER_00>Next time when you go to a new building, we must not have any air con.

00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:13.430
<v SPEAKER_00>If you decide that, God will give you a.

00:22:10.230 --> 00:22:11.750
<v SPEAKER_00>in this journey.

00:22:12.470 --> 00:22:21.190
<v SPEAKER_00>But apparently, apparently, this is the most difficult part in the human behavior.

00:22:22.390 --> 00:22:23.349
<v SPEAKER_00>You know what?

00:22:24.230 --> 00:22:35.750
<v SPEAKER_00>Humans often have that tendency to bury things under the ground or pass the buck to somebody.

00:22:37.349 --> 00:22:46.230
<v SPEAKER_00>It seems we are living in a day and time where we are shifting blames on others.

00:22:46.549 --> 00:22:48.549
<v SPEAKER_00>We are living in a day.

00:22:49.190 --> 00:22:51.109
<v SPEAKER_00>Shifting blames on others.

00:22:51.349 --> 00:22:54.309
<v SPEAKER_00>We like to play the blame game.

00:22:54.549 --> 00:22:56.710
<v SPEAKER_00>How many of you have realized that?

00:22:56.950 --> 00:22:59.190
<v SPEAKER_00>I'm not blaming you for that.

00:22:59.750 --> 00:23:02.549
<v SPEAKER_00>It's not your fault.

00:23:03.109 --> 00:23:07.670
<v SPEAKER_00>I will tell you why many people are behaving this way.

00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:20.950
<v SPEAKER_00>There is an inborn fallen nature that has been trapped into the human makeup ever since man fell in the garden.

00:23:22.230 --> 00:23:38.150
<v SPEAKER_00>Ever since sin entered the world it is this inherited characteristic of the fallen man, the adamic nature so to speak.

00:23:38.390 --> 00:23:47.589
<v SPEAKER_00>However, in order to overcome this weakness Jesus has already made a way for us.

00:23:48.150 --> 00:23:49.750
<v SPEAKER_00>And what is this way?

00:23:51.269 --> 00:24:23.910
<v SPEAKER_00>The way that God has made it available for us is to know very clearly our identity in Christ and to know that how to move into this area of victory that Jesus has already accomplished for us and to allow the Holy Spirit to do the sanctification work in our lives.

00:24:24.230 --> 00:24:41.190
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah when we can humble ourselves and say I'm not perfect I'm not I may be wrong.

00:24:41.430 --> 00:24:54.069
<v SPEAKER_00>I need to know some things I need to learn where I've gone wrong God's grace will immediately start flowing in your life.

00:24:54.470 --> 00:24:55.349
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:24:55.829 --> 00:25:18.950
<v SPEAKER_00>David said in Psalms 86 11 what did David say teach me thy way O Lord that I may walk in thy truth give me a heart to fear you O Lord.

00:25:19.269 --> 00:25:33.509
<v SPEAKER_00>Can you imagine King David a king so powerful and well known he was the greatest king in Israel.

00:25:34.470 --> 00:25:49.910
<v SPEAKER_00>He just you know this David he just can carry somebody's wife away and eliminate the husband that is how great he was only a few people are excited.

00:25:51.829 --> 00:25:58.549
<v SPEAKER_00>Yet on the flip side he was as humble as a child.

00:26:00.470 --> 00:26:10.470
<v SPEAKER_00>No wonder God called him a man after his heart because of his down to earth humility.

00:26:12.789 --> 00:26:45.990
<v SPEAKER_00>Listen I'm not sure what kind of damage the enemy has done to some of you but I can tell you this if you can humble yourself this morning and if you can say I surrender to you this morning no matter how messed up you are God can reverse it this morning I tell you this that's what he did to my life that's why I can come and speak to you at 84 years.

00:26:46.630 --> 00:27:16.789
<v SPEAKER_00>You know you think what I am an angel I was in the garbage man the moment the time the day I humbled myself and God touched me I was never the same anymore I can go even at 84 next month I'm going to to India some of the remote parts of India at 84 God has given given me the grace and strength to go.

00:27:17.109 --> 00:27:22.710
<v SPEAKER_00>So you have to humble yourself surrender to him and see what God can do.

00:27:22.950 --> 00:27:45.990
<v SPEAKER_00>You'll be amazed how God will step in to help you out when you humble yourself because God gives grace to the humble but he opposes the proud James chapter 4 verse 6 on the other hand let me tell you these are kingdom principles I'm releasing to you.

00:27:46.309 --> 00:27:59.990
<v SPEAKER_00>You cannot live any way you want to and you cannot live anyhow you like to and expect things to automatically fall in place for you.

00:28:00.869 --> 00:30:56.950
<v SPEAKER_00>In God's economy it doesn't work that way please don't listen to some people tell you all kinds of things again if you are a born-again Christian you cannot make it in this journey without the help of the Holy Spirit I tell you you see some of us have misunderstood the role of the Holy Spirit we think that if we yield to the Holy Spirit you will come in take control of our life and you got no freedom anymore no no no you got it all wrong the Holy Spirit although he's an agent of transformation although he is a teacher although he's a game changer in your life although he's a permanent resident in you although he's acting as your advocate and helper but he is a gentle spirit he is not a forceful and compelling spirit you will only work within the confines of his boundary the allowance that you give to him that is how he works he will not work beyond what you surrender to him he will not force you to do something against your will therefore the proportion of the allowance that you give to him will be the proportion of the work that he will do in your life hallelujah are you understanding what I'm saying is it too much for you but if you hold anything back from the Holy Spirit he will not interfere he will leave you alone our mind you know our mind is a very powerful gift of God to mankind if you allow this mind to be shaped by the Holy Spirit it will take on the will of God in your life and you will smoothly flow in the destiny of God's plan for your life the problem is that people like to hand pick only certain things that you want to be transformed.

00:30:57.750 --> 00:37:39.190
<v SPEAKER_00>People like to hand pick and surrender only certain areas of their life they have reservations unfortunately they will tell God this particular area leave it alone don't touch this area especially certain areas certain very important areas like unforgiveness bitterness sin certain lifestyle certain addiction listen to me total surrender is required to the will of God God has to come God has to to God has to take you to a point of humility where you can say thy will be done in my life selective surrender partial surrender lukewarm surrender is not in the will of God I wonder what you are thinking this morning he gave all he had to buy you back the only begotten Son of God was laid on the altar for you even the last bit last bit of clothing that covered his nakedness on the cross was stripped away from you that is what it has done for you God was he placed it everything on the altar for you he took upon himself your sins your guilt your shame your fears your depression your sickness your curse and gave you a super clean life everything he did was perfect in every respect perfect in every aspect and that was finished on the cross for you therefore I don't believe at all that God will compromise on selective trans selective surrender of partial surrender of partial transformation are you understanding me God wants you to surrender completely and you see miracles and the grace of God being released in your life we are living in a time of great confusion we are living in a time of moral decline people are so vulnerable today we are running after all kinds of theology all kinds of preaching we are running after conference after conference prophecy over prophecy healings after healings at the end of the day you realize you're not building yourself at the end of the day we don't spend enough time enough intimate time with God we don't spend enough time in the word of God and then we wonder why there is no change in us and then we wonder why there is no growth in us and we wonder why our defense system is so weak and we allow the enemy to undermine us listen to me carefully anything that needs to be transformed anything that needs to be changed has to be given birth in you it has to happen inside you change should come from inside of you not from the outside it should be developed within you and how do you develop this is not a circular thing that I'm talking about we are talking about an intimate relationship with God wants to you to sit at his feet and to grow in him spend time in the word of God nothing outside will change you he said to me hallelujah hallelujah we have built we have to build ourselves to safeguard ourselves the world we are living in I'm sorry to say is demonized and fractured darkness is hovering over us dominating and taking control the enemy is working over time undermining and deceiving God's people we have to safeguard ourselves a lot of us fall into the trap of the enemy because of immaturity because of ignorance because of lack of discernment in understanding who we are in Christ the most powerful blessing in your life is a tested life it is a life that is to go through the fire test of faith is not proven in good times real test of faith is proven in times of struggle times of trials and times when you are hitting rock bottom let me tell you something if there is anything useful at all that God wants to accomplish in your life God has to empty you first before he can use you because there are a lot of past baggage that we have been dragging along that needs to be offloaded before God can use us as a vessel for him.

00:37:39.750 --> 00:38:15.269
<v SPEAKER_00>Job said when he has tried me I shall come forth as God job 23 10 faith that is not tested is not real faith it's a weak faith how many of you know God will always shift you like shifting flour before he can use you when God wants to use you he will separate you from your busy schedule and bring you to a place to do the stripping process often in the form of refining and crushing.

00:38:15.909 --> 00:38:25.590
<v SPEAKER_00>He will put you in the valley experience before he can take you to the mountaintop remember God threw Moses in the back of the desert for 40 years.

00:38:25.750 --> 00:38:36.230
<v SPEAKER_00>Some of you are grumbling and you're becoming impatient just waiting six months two years three years hallelujah.

00:38:36.469 --> 00:39:08.150
<v SPEAKER_00>But God put Moses for 40 long years to strip him of everything strip him of his royalty strip him of his dignity strip him of his power as a son of Pharaoh God wanted to break Moses down to a point of humility so that he may learn to depend totally on God totally on God's timing.

00:39:09.429 --> 00:39:41.590
<v SPEAKER_00>You see faith without patience can land you in trouble Moses' heart was right but his timing was wrong just because things don't happen for as fast as you want don't try to rush God the gun one mistake Moses did God disqualified him for 40 years.

00:39:41.750 --> 00:44:17.670
<v SPEAKER_00>What is that that is so degrading what is that that is so low that he brought him down to such a level that he had to take care of somebody else's ship God brought him down so low everything Moses knew in the palaces of Pharaoh the dignity the royalty the power everything was buried in the dust of the desert listen it's not how powerful you are it's not how clever you are it's whether you are humble enough to walk with God and totally depend on God whether you are humble enough to wait on God's timing are you listening Zechariah chapter 4 verse 6 not by might nor by power but is by my spirit says the Lord if you don't have the discernment to wait on God's timing you will labor in vain you see most of us want to see the reward but we are not prepared to empty ourselves the bottom line is we need to be broken my friend we need to be crushed my friend before God can use us unbroken people cannot serve the Lord is that strong word unbroken people cannot serve the Lord you know why unbroken people can only build fragile empire and fragile empires cannot withstand the pressures of life fragile empires cannot stand resistance are you learning something today I want to say something very powerful before I close are you ready to receive only one two three people can meet me and later then I will close now even Donald is not saying Isaiah chapter 1 verse 19 God told the Israelites if you are willing to be obedient you will eat the good of the Lamb how many of you are obedient to God how many of you can seriously say I am an obedient Christian now listen very carefully obedient to God means stepping out of your comfort zone obedient to God is stepping out of your family zone you know what staying in your comfort zone may feel safe may feel secure may feel you're insulated from all the dangers but let me tell you something you are not going to accomplish anything for God you bet anything that is big anything that is great anything that is powerful that you want to achieve for God you need to go through the breaking process you need to go through the crushing process and this thing can only happen when you step out of the comfort zone listen there will be no wine to make the heart glad unless the grape is crushed There will be no oil to heal the sick unless the fruit of oil is crushed and broken.

00:44:18.230 --> 00:44:26.789
<v SPEAKER_00>There will be no bread to feed the hungry unless the grain of wheat is broken and crushed.

00:44:28.070 --> 00:44:31.829
<v SPEAKER_00>You say, Pastor, why must the breaking take place?

00:44:32.150 --> 00:44:34.630
<v SPEAKER_00>Why must the crushing take place?

00:44:35.110 --> 00:44:45.030
<v SPEAKER_00>The crushing and the breaking does not take place to destroy the grape or to destroy the olive or to destroy the grain of wheat.

00:44:45.269 --> 00:44:48.230
<v SPEAKER_00>That crushing and the breaking takes place.

00:44:48.469 --> 00:45:01.190
<v SPEAKER_00>That out of the breaking, something different, something new, something worthwhile will be given birth, will come forth.

00:45:02.869 --> 00:45:04.710
<v SPEAKER_00>Are you understanding me?

00:45:07.829 --> 00:45:08.869
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:45:09.030 --> 00:45:16.070
<v SPEAKER_00>You want to be used of God, you want to serve the Lord, you need to go through the crushing and breaking first.

00:45:16.869 --> 00:45:23.909
<v SPEAKER_00>In this critical hour, God wants to use every one of you.

00:45:24.070 --> 00:45:27.750
<v SPEAKER_00>No matter how detail you use, God wants to use.

00:45:27.909 --> 00:45:29.510
<v SPEAKER_00>Jesus is coming back.

00:45:29.909 --> 00:45:31.670
<v SPEAKER_00>Jesus is coming back.

00:45:31.989 --> 00:45:32.309
<v SPEAKER_00>Okay?

00:45:33.989 --> 00:45:37.590
<v SPEAKER_00>Jesus preaching Sermon on the Mount.

00:45:37.829 --> 00:45:39.190
<v SPEAKER_00>Matthew chapter 5.

00:45:39.269 --> 00:45:41.429
<v SPEAKER_00>He said, You are the light of the world.

00:45:41.670 --> 00:45:43.989
<v SPEAKER_00>You are the salt of the earth.

00:45:44.309 --> 00:45:46.869
<v SPEAKER_00>That is where you should be.

00:45:48.630 --> 00:45:53.510
<v SPEAKER_00>You see, the light is never meant to light itself.

00:45:54.389 --> 00:45:57.510
<v SPEAKER_00>The salt is never meant to salt itself.

00:45:57.829 --> 00:46:01.190
<v SPEAKER_00>The light is meant to dispel the darkness.

00:46:01.829 --> 00:46:04.949
<v SPEAKER_00>The salt is meant to salt the food.

00:46:05.590 --> 00:46:06.869
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:46:07.429 --> 00:46:09.110
<v SPEAKER_00>Are you understanding me?

00:46:12.630 --> 00:46:17.429
<v SPEAKER_00>We are supposed to change the atmosphere of this whole earth.

00:46:17.750 --> 00:46:22.630
<v SPEAKER_00>We are supposed to impact the environment by our kingdom lifestyle.

00:46:23.590 --> 00:46:25.510
<v SPEAKER_00>Are you a kingdom man?

00:46:27.110 --> 00:46:29.190
<v SPEAKER_00>Are you a kingdom and forza?

00:46:30.789 --> 00:46:37.909
<v SPEAKER_00>There is no way you can reclaim the earth back to God by sitting within the four walls of the church.

00:46:38.710 --> 00:46:46.070
<v SPEAKER_00>You see, you will never reach your destiny for God if you play it safe all the time.

00:46:47.989 --> 00:46:53.750
<v SPEAKER_00>Unfortunately, we have misunderstood the whole concept of the kingdom.

00:46:54.389 --> 00:47:04.469
<v SPEAKER_00>Jesus said this gospel of the kingdom will be preached to the whole world as a witness until the end.

00:47:11.909 --> 00:47:15.429
<v SPEAKER_00>What good is our salvation?

00:47:16.150 --> 00:47:19.030
<v SPEAKER_00>You might as well throw it out of the window.

00:47:21.989 --> 00:47:23.110
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:47:23.989 --> 00:47:26.070
<v SPEAKER_00>You want to be used of God.

00:47:28.789 --> 00:47:34.230
<v SPEAKER_00>You need to surrender your life to God.

00:47:36.070 --> 00:47:38.150
<v SPEAKER_00>You need to humble yourself.

00:47:38.469 --> 00:47:41.829
<v SPEAKER_00>Unless you humble yourself, you cannot surrender to the Lord.

00:47:42.150 --> 00:47:43.110
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.

00:47:44.070 --> 00:47:45.349
<v SPEAKER_00>Listen to me.

00:47:47.190 --> 00:47:55.429
<v SPEAKER_00>In this critical time, in this serious time, God is only looking for a humble heart.

00:47:55.909 --> 00:47:58.869
<v SPEAKER_00>He's only looking for a committed heart.

00:47:59.269 --> 00:48:02.789
<v SPEAKER_00>Is only looking for a surrendered heart.

00:48:03.190 --> 00:48:14.150
<v SPEAKER_00>Whatever is not surrendered, aloe, whatever is not surrendered cannot be used of God.

00:48:15.429 --> 00:48:18.949
<v SPEAKER_00>God cannot use what is not surrendered.

00:48:20.150 --> 00:48:22.869
<v SPEAKER_00>What will you give for to God?

00:48:24.070 --> 00:48:26.630
<v SPEAKER_00>That He can work in your life.

00:48:26.869 --> 00:48:30.389
<v SPEAKER_00>All He wants is a surrendered life.

00:48:31.030 --> 00:48:38.469
<v SPEAKER_00>God is saying, I want you to give me your life and see what I can do.

00:48:38.949 --> 00:48:40.710
<v SPEAKER_00>Stand up on your feet.

00:48:41.030 --> 00:48:41.750
<v SPEAKER_00>Hallelujah.
