It's always a pleasure to be in the presence of God. Praise God. It's always a pleasure. So we were looking at principle check. And this is an important phase of our learning of the scripture because what it does is it checks if you are applying the correct principles to ensure that you have an advantage in this life. Amen. Who wants to have an advantage in this life? Who doesn't like advantage? Advantage is good. And there's so many things the Holy Spirit has put in the in the in the word. God has put in the word to give us advantage. Amen. One of the things that really interested interested me about the Gospels was how I can have an advantage and be an advantage to others. So it wasn't just that God is giving me an advantage in my environments, but I could also be an advantage for other people. And that was so powerful for me. Amen. Some are not interested in that. But I am. So we looked at a few things last week, didn't we? Right? Okay. We looked at four principles, was it? Alright. So I'm gonna quickly just touch on them and then we'll go into the ones for today. Because the ones for today are a little bit more complex. The first one we looked at was God gives his strongest battles to his strongest soldiers. Is that true? And yet we see people living off this thing. What did we learn last week? If you remember, somebody said it at the back there. Perfect. That's the beginning of everything first. So he does not give his strongest battles to his strongest soldiers because God, first of all, doesn't have strong battles. That's the first thing you have to uh bear in mind. And we also learned that not only does God not have strong battles, but if there is to be a battle, who does it belong to? Is it your battle? No, amen. So if you're in a battle, you are fighting the wrong war. Many people don't know that life is not supposed to be a battle. Amen. And when I say this, people are shocked. Pastor, I'm going through a lot right now. How can life not be a battle? You're going through a lot because you're going through a lot. Did you understand that? You are going through a lot because you are going through a lot. That's why. That's it. I don't have any battles because I don't go through them. You're in a battle. Whilst you see battles, I see mountains. You get that? So my perspective immediately changes. With a mountain, I cannot be on defense. You understand that? So stop fighting. Amen. Whatever it is that you're fighting, stop fighting it. Because you're not meant to be fighting it. Now, if you want me to expand more on that, you gotta listen to last week's podcast. That was on Sunday. So you gotta take time, go and listen to what happened on Sunday. You will learn a lot. Can we move on to the next one? In no particular order, another thing is bad things keep happening to me, so God is humbling me. Is that correct? Bad things keep happening to me, so God must be humbling me. Is that correct? Okay, so why is it incorrect? What did we learn last week? Where are the bold people? Go on, go ahead.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

You spoke about sir how God blesses you, even for example. You gave an example how God blesses um everyone, for example, even when they make mistakes as well. Um that's what you started off with on that third point. That's what I just want to clarify.

SPEAKER_02 6:10

Okay, that's not the thick of it. I'm looking for someone to okay, at the back there. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_05 6:15

Speak loud of what you carry in your heart, the nature of what you carry in your heart.

SPEAKER_02 6:25

Okay. Now I gave you a scripture that should handle all of this. You remember that scripture? What does it say? Exactly. Exactly. The mercies of God leads one to repentance, not the anger of God, not the frustration of God. And I gave you another example, and I said, if bad situations are there to humble you, then you should pray for more bad situations, so you can be more humble.

unknown 7:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:09

So I also gave another example. I said, if you crash your car, maybe you should pray for another car crash. And you lose one leg and then you lose another, then maybe you lose your arms, and the more you lose, the more humble you become. But that's such a demonic way of seeing things. God doesn't work like that. So if you ever thought, ah, this situation happened to humble me, God was humbling me, it wasn't God. The situation may have humbled you, but God didn't. Praise God. We got two more I'm gonna go through very quickly. Um I prayed and nothing happened, so it must be God's will. Hello? I prayed and nothing happened, so it must be God's will. Correct? What did we learn? If if if if you prayed and nothing has happened, what does that mean?

SPEAKER_06 8:29

Yeah, you didn't pray for pray from a place of faith, sir. You prayed from a place of pain or fear. And James 1 6 tells us that you must pray from a place of faith, in faith, if not you're like a person being tossed. And you're tossed to and froze and fro.

SPEAKER_02 8:45

Okay, now these things I'm teaching you, okay. I'm gonna, if you want the next one, just listen to Sunday. I have to crack on. Okay. Now, now, these things I'm teaching you, they're not up for debate. You're you're listening you are conscripted to these things whether you know it or not. As in, you were born, you you were born and you grew, you're immediately conscripted. You have a choice to believe them or not. The likes of us who have learned these things from the scripture and practicing them, we get victories every day. I told you, from the day I learned these things, I don't pray on a situation more than twice. If I pray once and I feel it needs more attention, I pray twice. Done. Done. Amen. Yeah. And I want you to have that kind of uh confidence. I want you to have that kind of confidence that if I pray once, God answers. That's something I want you to practice, amen. Now, can we crack on? Alright. So you just give me a yes or a no on this, alright? I need to pray a powerful prayer so that I can get a breakthrough. I think you're just saying no for the sake of it now. Listen to what I said. I need to pray a powerful prayer so that I can get a breakthrough. Amen. Let's go to Mark 11. Because believe it or not, I've I've heard so many Christians talk like that. You know, and some of you maybe have come from churches who taught you that. Let me give you this powerful prayer. Just take this powerful prayer. Say these words. Has anyone said that to you? Say these words, say these words, they're very powerful. Like I said, it's good for you to know when you're practicing some kind of witchcraft. Say these words.

SPEAKER_01 11:22

Say these words. Say these words. Say these words. Amen.

SPEAKER_02 11:39

All right. Mark eleven, chapter Mark chapter eleven, sorry, verse twenty-two.

SPEAKER_05 11:50

Thank you, sir. Mark chapter eleven from verse twenty-two says, So Jesus answered and said to them, have faith in God. Verse 23. For assuredly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

SPEAKER_02 12:18

Praise God. What a beautiful principle he's given us right there. Now, the beauty of this is that God is very different from what our cultures and what Satan, how Satan carries himself. Satan will tell you, say these words. God puts a premium on the person. So it's not about a powerful prayer, it's about a powerful person. Do you understand that? That's how you get roped into witchcraft. Because things are going wrong, someone says to you, say these words, you repeat them. You had no idea that you were subscribing to some kind of voodoo. Amen. But God says, Before you get results, I need you the person to change. God is big on personality and characteristical changes. So he says, instead of saying powerful words, become a powerful person in the spirit. Hallelujah. So he says, This analogy Jesus gave was right after he cursed the fig tree. Have you heard that story? He gets to the fig tree, he looks at it, he was hungry, it didn't produce, he cursed it. He spoke to the tree and told the tree, you will never bear fruit again. And he walked on. And so, depending on what version you read, all right. Some say they came back a little while after. Alright. The disciples were shocked. They said, That's the tree that the master spoke to. It had grown dark and black and dried up from its roots. So they asked the master, how did you do that? They were shocked. How are you able to talk to a tree? And the Lord says, What you just read. He said, If you have faith and you tell that mountain to move and you don't doubt in your heart, then that mountain will do exactly what you told it to do. Praise God. And this is a powerful thing if you learn to practice it. Learn to practice it. Learn to practice it. The people that need breakthroughs are the ones who think they're suffering. I told you a few minutes ago, I don't see sufferings, I see mountains. Mountains are meant to be climbed or removed. Amen. I'll teach you some things today. Some that you have not heard before. I realized that my ankle was inflaming. But I said, nothing it's fine. I got in the car, I went to pick up my son to drop him off to training. When I got, by the time I arrived to training, I couldn't walk. I parked the car, I tried to come out the car. I cannot stand on my leg. And it was getting bigger and bigger like this. So I took my son out of the car and I limped with one leg into training. I dropped him there. I sat down and I just started looking at my leg like, what's happening? When did this happen? Praise God. Try and follow me here. Everyone could see, so I asked, I asked, I requested for ice. I said, Let me have ice. I put it in my socks just to calm the inflammation. And the pain got worse and worse. Now, what was happening is as the pain was worse, I would stand and say, I can't sit down. So I would stand, there were many parents there with their children, and my son called my name, so I had to go and attend to him. So as I went towards him, I'm limping. One of the ladies, the mothers, says to me, says to everyone, get out of the way. He's one-legged. Hold on. I looked at her and I said, I'm not one-legged. Everybody go back where you were. I said, I'm two-legged. I am two-legged. Not one-legged. And she responded. She said, No, I don't mean it in a bad way. It's just that you know you're you're only relying on one leg. I said, No, I have two. I have two legs. And she she tried to get me a seat. She was being very polite. I said, No, no. I limped to attend to my child and limped back in pain. The pain was unbearable. I couldn't wait to get home because there was so much noise. I couldn't deal with this thing. So I called her and I said, Look, I can't drive. So you have to take the boy home. Because if I'm to crash, let me crash alone. Because I can't drive like this. And the foot is getting bigger. So, anyways, um, I summoned the courage and I drove back in pain. Every time I put my foot on the thing, I'm screaming. We get home. Uh, she came to the car to help me. I said, I don't need help. I'm fine. I limped into the house, crawled upstairs. Amen. Now, I was happy because I was alone finally. I said, Let me deal with this mountain. Did you hear that word? Mountain. I looked at the leg, I closed my eyes, and I started speaking. Now, I wasn't shouting and screaming, no, I started speaking from my spirit, from my heart. No weapon, no weapon, not one weapon fashioned against me can and shall prosper. So by his stripes I am healed. I was saying it over and over and over again. Now, I checked online. This thing for it to heal can take up to eight weeks. Amen. Because I know exactly what happened to my leg. And from my meditations, within four to four and a half hours, I was walking on my leg fine. So watch this. I got injured. I got injured let's say at one o'clock. I realized I was injured around four. I started speaking around six. He arrived home around ten. I was already walking. Do you know why I was walking? I was talking and walking at the same time. I'll feel the pain and say, I'm healed. I'm healed. The whole house walking. My sons are looking at me. Daddy, are you okay? And you know children are very forward. Daddy, your leg is big. I said, no, it's small. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll come and touch it. Daddy, your leg is big. I said, my leg is small. Praise God. I spoke, I spoke my I spoke my ankles into shape. You understand that? And I wasn't saying it. I wasn't saying this. Praise God. I wasn't saying this out of just saying it. I was saying it and I believed every time I speak, this thing is something is happening. Now, what I want you to pick up here, because I'm going to give you a conducting scripture. Yeah. What I want you to pick up here is that my words, even though they would there wasn't immediate reaction, there was recovery. Something that was meant to take eight weeks, took four hours. When my wife saw me, she recommended maybe you should get her a mic so she can speak. She recommended A and E. She said, We have to go. I said, I'm not going. This was just yesterday. Amen. Just yesterday, she said, get her a microphone. What did you see before I go on? What did you see?

SPEAKER_07 21:48

I saw when I saw you for the first time, straight away I told him, leg up, do not move, putting pressure on. The leg makes it worse. For all the medics that I hear, it's the worst thing to see when a leg is inflating, especially if it happens during uh sports and whatnot. Straight away, leg up, put your leg up, rest your leg, do not put much pressure on the leg, do not nothing, just leave it alone. He was the complete opposite of that. He did not. We we drove, he told me to come and drive in just for me to arrive, and he's driving towards me. So, okay, so me too are turnaround. By the time I get off the car, he's already inside the house. Bear in mind, somebody that is struggling to walk. And I'm telling him, wait, wait, so I'm telling him, slow down because he's getting faster than me. With his no longer his condition. Um, and and I kept on telling him, wait a minute, let me do this, let me do that, let me do that. He wasn't having it. Put your leg up, no, I'll when it's down, it's better. Okay. Um let me help you up. No, it feels better when I walk. Now, in that moment, I didn't bear in mind on whether he was speaking by faith or not, but I was just saying, you know what? I will just leave him to do whatever he's doing. And I kid you not, um we took a nap. We went, we took a nap. We woke up from the nap, and he's walking perfectly fine. And I was like, D we both woke up. Um I even met him downstairs from the nap. He even woke up before before me. Went downstairs. I'm like, Why are you doing here? Why didn't you call me and whatnot? He's walking. He's walking. I was like, uh, what happened? He said, I woke up and my leg is fine. The pain went from a 1000 to maybe a two. And this morning, fast forwarding, this morning, the whole leg, everything was fine. He was walking completely fine. I'm even looking at his leg, I'm like sad in his leg. Is he pretending? You know, he can only pretend so much. So when he goes around the corner, let me, you know, if he's still limping, nothing, none of that happened. And that's someone who I don't know if you ever had a sprained ankle. That is, I had a sprained ankle before. I was in crutches. I was how old was I? I was like 16, I was in crutches. I remember the red crutches. So for him to walk on it, I feel the I felt the pain that he put on his body. Yet the Lord really, really did it.

SPEAKER_02 24:47

I refuse to be on crutches. I refuse. I refuse to be on crutches. I refuse to be on crutches. You see, in this life, you choose whether you're a victim or not. And things are happening, people were trying to serve me as if I'm a victim. Oh, you are one-legged. Don't call me one-legged. No, don't do that. It's offensive. When you're sick, and you're you know, people you the devil will bring people around you to sympathize with you. Oh, you're in pain. Oh, no, I've seen some ladies like that in the time of the month. I'm dying. Oh, I'm dying. Everyone comes around, give them the warm. What's that warm thing? Put the warm thing on the belly. Is that the life you want? You want to be a victim? Tell your neighbor, grow up. Tell them there are no battles to fight, only mountains to climb. Yeah, it doesn't matter what it is you're going through, it's not a battle. It's not. If it's with your health, it's a mountain. Move it out the way. Move it out the way. I taught you about how to talk to angels, right? How to communicate with them, right? And I was telling you that you don't directly talk to them, but you talk to God, and God gives them orders. This is why I say in this life, you have chosen to be the victim. We have too many tools that God has given us to give us advantage. Are you listening? Now, can I teach you something I've not taught you before? Alright, now look at this. Let's go to 1 Corinthians chapter 2, and we'll jump to Verse 10.

SPEAKER_05 26:54

Thank you, sir. First Corinthians chapter 2 from verse 10 says, But God has revealed them to us through his spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. Verse eleven. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is within him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except the spirit of God.

SPEAKER_02 27:25

Alright. Can you read from verse 9 for me?

SPEAKER_05 27:29

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_02 27:30

And Eden, can you bring me that whiteboard? Yeah, go ahead.

SPEAKER_05 27:34

Read from verse 9. First Corinthians chapter 2 from verse 9 says, But as it is written, I has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love him. Verse 10. But God has revealed them to us through his spirit, for the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. Verse eleven. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except the spirit of God.

SPEAKER_02 28:22

Amen.

SPEAKER_04 28:24

I'm not the best drawer, so thank you.

SPEAKER_02 28:41

Now, the Bible says that no man knows the things of God, the desires of God, the heart of God, like the Holy Spirit. Did you read that? It's in your Bible. It says the Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God. He searches it like a scanner. He scans God's heart, searches those things, and reveals them to us. Right? Okay. Now, remember, God has made us in his image. So the function of the spirit of the man is to also search his heart. If you read that verse again, blessing, it says, No nothing knows the heart of a man like his own spirit. Is it in there? Read that part.

SPEAKER_05 29:45

Thank you, sir. First Corinthians chapter 2 from verse 9 says, But as it is written, I has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love him. Verse 10. But God has revealed them to us through his spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. Verse 11. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?

SPEAKER_02 30:19

What man knows the things of the man except or like the spirit that is in him? So as the Holy Spirit is scanning God and his heart, your spirit scans your heart. You must take in. Your human spirit scans your heart. Now the question is, all right, I'm gonna put a heart here. The question is, what is it scanning for? Blessing, keep reading. What exactly is it scanning for? Watch this.

SPEAKER_05 31:02

Thank you, sir. First Corinthians chapter 2 from verse 12 says, Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. Verse 13. These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things to spiritual things.

SPEAKER_02 31:31

Yes. Alright. Now it clearly says there, alright, that what the Holy Spirit reveals to us from God, we speak. Right? Likewise, your spirit searches your heart to see what you've been speaking inside. Think of your heart as a printer. Your heart prints everything you feel. So you can have a Christian on the left who's living a wonderful life, a good life, and you have a Christian on the right who's who's constantly battling matters of the heart. Today it's offense, tomorrow it's bitterness, the other day it's anger. Then it's I'm overwhelmed. There's always something that Christian doesn't know that he's printing, he, his spirit, is printing everything that he's feeling inside. He says the spirit of God scans the heart of God, he scans it as your spirit scans your heart and prints everything. So when you're having troubles, all right, in your personal life, you can't complain because it's the contents of your heart, it's the contents of your heart. A wise man once said to me, Every country gets the president it deserves. So don't complain. If you get a bad president, it's the heart of the country. That's that you deserve that, man. Praise God. Likewise, as the Holy Spirit is searching the heart of God, ready to give it to us, to give us these secrets to these deep things in God's heart for us to speak. You will find that everything that is embedded in your heart, you start speaking eventually. You can try to hide it for some time, but you start speaking it, it will come out. Why are you finding that your life is a lot more challenging than others? Why? Why? And you some of you will find that some good things happen to you, then some bad things happen. Some good things. I want to get you out of there. I want you in a place of consistent, consistently printing. Do you understand the virtues of God? You're printing it daily, consistently. These things are not a dream. You can live like this. I'm telling you, you can live like this, consistently printing positive things, printing the glory of God in your family, printing the glory of God in your studies. You can. God said to Adam, because of what you did, you will die. Right? It caught up to him 900 years later. Right? Likewise, what you're experiencing now, these are things you printed years ago. In the spirit. Amen. If positive things just started happening to you, you printed it last year. Amen. Now in this state, blessing, can you read verse 11 for me? 11 to 10, alright?

SPEAKER_05 35:36

Thank you, sir. First Corinthians chapter 2 from verse 11 says, For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so, no one knows the things of God except the spirit of God. Verse 12. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. Thank you, sir. 13 says, These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

SPEAKER_02 36:24

Comparing spiritual things with spiritual. So this is an important truth. Now, when your heart has printed out a reality, let's say you have been carrying offense in your heart. Alright, you're carrying that offense, you're going from one place to another. Your heart begins to print that offense out into the future. Now, as that's happening, you will start speaking offense. Every time you get into a conversation, you'll be defensive. Someone may try to correct you, you're defensive. Praise God. Have you ever been in a situation like a disagreement here, and then you leave the house and you disagreed with four or five other people the same day? Maybe that made you realize that you're the problem. Amen. That's on a very short scale. This thing I'm talking about is on a massive scale. So your heart is printing these realities, your mouth as you're speaking is establishing them. Now, this is where demons come in. And just so I can give you a bit of history on demons, demons are not the same as fallen angels. Praise God. Demons are not the same as fallen angels. Fallen angels were the ones who had their estate in heaven, and they were sent down by uh by God for their rebellion. And the Bible says they've been chained in certain places, some of them. Demons, the the creation of demons came from the relationship between these fallen angels and women. So as they came together and those giants died, praise God, their spirits were hybrid spirits, so they couldn't go to hell or heaven. So they became wicked spirits. Does that make sense? So these spirits thrive off wickedness. So when they identify wickedness in you, they become your friend. Do you understand that? That's why you find that you get a crazy thought that gives birth to another crazy thought. Because evil spirits love those kind of things. Are you following me? Yeah. So as your heart is printing this and your mouth is establishing all the things that you're feeling, wicked spirits pick these things up and make it a reality. It coming from the realm of the spirit into the realm of the physical, those wicked spirits are responsible for that. Amen. That's why the Bible has advocated for you to keep your heart pure at all times. Because when you keep your heart pure, your spirit scans what you have in your heart, your mouth establishes it, and angels pick up what you've said and they attend to it. Praise God forevermore. That's why it's difficult for someone to lie to me as a man of the spirit. I will not address it all the time because I'm trained. But if you lie, I'm aware. I just don't say anything. I know you've lied. You know why? Because your spirit has betrayed you. Your own spirit, as I'm talking to you, is telling me the truth. You're too quiet. You may be saying, Pastor, I did A. Your own spirit is saying, No, he didn't. He didn't, he didn't do it. You can say, Oh, Pastor, I bought this thing, but you stole it. Your own spirit will tell me he stole. You say, We stole, we did it together. Amen. Because the spirit of a man searches his heart and prints those things that are in his heart. Brothers and sisters, guard your heart is the most important thing you would do in your faith. Guard your heart. Guard your heart. Don't allow anything in your heart if you sense that your heart is changing in any way, in any fashion, run away from that situation. To be spiritual is to be careful with what you allow into your heart. Yeah. Praise God. Can I show you another scripture quickly before I cement this? Let's go to Proverbs. Yeah, there's a lot of wisdom there. Proverbs 16. Thank you, Holy Spirit.

SPEAKER_05 42:06

Thank you, sir.

SPEAKER_02 42:08

One second, let me just give you the verse. Nine, verse nine.

SPEAKER_05 42:13

Thank you, sir. Proverbs chapter 16 from verse 9 says, A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

SPEAKER_02 42:30

Read that one more time.

SPEAKER_05 42:32

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_02 42:32

One more time.

SPEAKER_05 42:33

Proverbs chapter 16 from verse 9 says, A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

SPEAKER_02 42:43

Did you hear that? Look at this. A man's heart plans his way, diviseth his way. A man's heart shapes his way. The man's heart, you know, creates the road he goes down. That's why I've drawn a road from your heart. Look at that. I've drawn a road. It devices, it creates the path you're going down. Your heart. Read that again. A man's heart diviseth his way.

SPEAKER_05 43:14

Go ahead. Thank you, sir. Proverbs chapter 16 from verse 9 says, A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

SPEAKER_02 43:25

You hear that? Now, of course, the Bible is very optimistic. So let's let's look at it from God's perspective. What God is expecting from you is this that your heart, okay, will print a positive road, and God will tell you how to walk that road. That's God's vision. But Christians are doing it the other way around. We are printing negative roads and expecting God to lead us down. God says, I'm not involved in that. And now, when you're on your own, guess who takes over? Evil spirits. God cannot take Teach you how to walk down a bad road, but demons can. Demons can. So you wonder why you get strange thoughts and strange ideas. Even in church, you're getting strange thoughts. It's the content of your heart. Even in the church, whilst the word is going on, your heart is still printing a destructive way. That's so sad. That's so sad. That's terrible. Are you listening? No, that's a terrible thing. To be in the house of God, and your heart is still printing a dark road. You enter the house of God and you're lost in over woman. You're in the house of God, you're lost in the house of God. Your heart has printed out a dark way. And the Holy Spirit will not advise you that He will keep quiet. It's evil spirits that will come in your ear and they'll tell you, I can tell you how to do exactly what you have in your heart. I can teach you demons. I mean, they did that in Genesis. The Bible says they came down and taught human beings how to do magic. Amen. How to do all kinds of things. Do you think they've given up that ministry? They still have that ministry. They teach you strange things, things that upset and grieve the spirit of God. Amen. Yeah. So you find us being very successful. You may criticize me from the outside and say, I don't like this about Pastor. I don't like this about Pastor. But I'm very careful of my heart. That's why I keep moving forward. And you may keep saying terrible things about me, but I'm still moving forward. Why? The heart. Can we read that one more time? A man's heart does what? Oh, you're too quiet. It does what? Plans. A man's heart plans his way. If you're gonna go down spray street, it's dependent on your heart. If you're gonna go down success road, it depends on your heart. This is why you need the Holy Spirit. Because some Christians are so terrible to be around without the influence of the Spirit. Their hearts are so filthy without the influence of the Spirit. Read that again.

SPEAKER_05 46:54

Thank you, sir. Proverbs chapter 16 from verse 9 says, A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

SPEAKER_02 47:09

And then verse 10, read verse 10. We can't leave verse 10 out.

SPEAKER_05 47:13

Thank you, sir. Proverbs chapter 16 from verse 10 says, Divination is on the lips of the king. His mouth must not transgress in judgment.

SPEAKER_02 47:25

One more time.

SPEAKER_05 47:26

Thank you, sir. Proverbs chapter 16 from verse 10 says, Divination is on the lips of the king. His mouth must not transgress in judgment.

SPEAKER_02 47:37

The scripture says here, a divine sentence is in the lips of the king. His mouth transgresseth not in judgment. So for that thing to be properly established, it must come out of your mouth. Praise God forevermore. Now, if you know that your heart is a printer, will you not be careful of what you put in there? Do you understand? Now, quick question. How do you guard your heart? How do you guard your heart? And how do you know when your heart has started printing? Can I tell you? You know that your heart has started printing a dark road for you when you start feeling the emotions attached to that very thing that's in your heart. So for example, for example, someone has someone has spoken to you and you don't like his tone, it's one thing to say, I don't like the tone. It's another thing to feel an emotion as a reaction to the tone. The moment you start feeling, the printing has begun. So you have to be so diligent with your heart that you don't feel. You block that. Block that. Now, this is where shouting comes in. This is where shouting comes in. Sometimes you have to do that in the beginning. Find a quiet place because you can't blame people for being upset with your prayer. Do you understand that? So it your prayer will irritate them. So you have to find a quiet place, find somewhere quiet, and sometimes you have to shout your heart out of that place. I didn't say have a conversation with your heart, I said shout your heart out of that place. This thing is so detrimental. Shout your heart out of that place. This feeling is pressing on your heart. Go and retaliate. And you are shouting that emotion down with the word of God. And it's the same for sexual thoughts and um malicious, malignant. Do you understand? Thoughts. Thoughts of those natures they come into your heart, and you're feeling this feeling the feeling of I just want to be intimate. Shout the feeling down. Talk to it. Find somewhere private. Shout your heart down. It's inside here, it's happening all there. Have you noticed when that feeling comes upon you? You dress different. We know today is today. Yeah, because we're discerned. You know, you're our daughters and sons, so we know. We know today is today. Yeah, because in the morning you didn't do your job. I have to teach you this so that blood is not on my hands. What were you printing this morning? What did you print this morning? And I can tell what you printed by the way you're dressing, by the way you talk. I can tell. If you had done your job, that thing came in, all right, and your heart started scanning. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Your spirit is scanning. What's in this guy's heart? What's in this lady's heart? If you had said no, the Bible says we have weapons, weapons of our warfare to cast down every evil thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. If you had done that in the morning, you would have come out dressing the way you usually dress. No, but what you printed in the morning told you wear the shortest and throwing some cleavage. You understand what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. It was giving you recommendations. You know, when I learned this, I stopped putting all the blame on Satan. No, you we are just blaming the guy for things he has no hand in. You were the one that done the artwork in the morning. You printed the business in the morning. Sometimes we have to be more aggressive and tell you more truths so you understand why we put certain things in place. We have morning prayer for a purpose. Do you understand? Mute yourself and shout those dark roads. You see, it says, A man's heart diviseth his way. So those roads, those dark roads, because it's not just one, they could be multiple, multiple dark roads. Someone was doing very well at work, he's a banker, he's doing very well. He gets to the bank randomly, he steals. Why? Why you had a good job? Why you ask him? I don't know. I don't know why. It just happened. No, it didn't just happen. A man's heart deviceth his way. Now, trust me, if there's a way before you and it's the only way, you're gonna walk it. Some say, no, no, no, okay. Try what try getting to a destination, and the only road is there. And you look, there's a wall, there's a wall. Are you gonna walk through the wall? You're gonna go down that road. That's what happens in the heart. That's why I said, shout your heart back into position. Shout your heart back into position with the word of God. What I'm teaching you now would change your life. We're making certain mistakes, blunders at your age, crazy blunders. You're grown now, you're making high-level mistakes, high-level blunders, and these mistakes affect not only you but others who are attached to you. Praise God. The truth is the truth. God creates perfection, He does. So when you see abnormalities, someone somewhere created that road, printed that out, and deposited it into the family. Be careful with the decisions that you're making. Hello. Eden, you get me the amplified version quickly, please. Read it, read it. We're gonna look at it in another way.

SPEAKER_05 56:24

Thank you, sir. Proverbs chapter 16 from verse 9 says, A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. Verse 10. Divination is on the lips of the king, his mouth must not transgress in judgment.

SPEAKER_02 56:43

Okay, go ahead. You can read the amplified. Yes, you read.

SPEAKER_03 56:51

Uh the amplified version, Proverbs 16, verse 9. A man's mind planned his way, his journey through life, but the Lord his journey through life.

SPEAKER_02 57:05

Woo!

SPEAKER_03 57:06

Read that again. A man's mind plan his way as he journeys through life. Yes, yes, continue. But the Lord directs his steps and establish them.

SPEAKER_01 57:20

Did you hear that?

SPEAKER_02 57:28

A man's mind, it says. A man's mind. Yeah, continue, plans his way, plans his way, deviceth his way, prints his way, commands his way. So you can be a Christian, but the road, the roadmap you've created for you and your generations is flawed. Talk to an architect, a very experienced architect, they will tell you you can bring some floor plans to them. They'll tell you this is not realistic. Amen. You can say, I want to construct a building. Thank you. I want to construct a building. Here are the floor plans. You know what they will do? They will look at it and tell you, this is not on earth here. Now, on this earth, this can't be done. Christina, you're am I lying with that? Yeah, she's an architect there. There's some floor plans, architects will look at and say, This cannot be done. Yeah, likewise, when you print certain things, God looks and says, I have no part in that. I'm not taking part in that. But there's another guy somewhere who's excited with wrong floor plans. Do you understand that? Broken floor plans, flawed floor plans. There's another entity happy with all those things. They're called evil spirits. So don't blame them when you're attracting them. Don't blame them. At times you may come to me with a uh situation at hand, all right, and um I step in and you find solution. All I have done was I printed on your behalf. You get that? I exerted myself on your behalf. You prepare these things in the morning. Devise your way in the morning. Say it, I would devise my way in the morning. Nobody has to force me to devise my own way in the morning. Nobody will force me from today. I would devise my way scripturally, praise God. Sit down, let's round up very quickly. Yeah, um, I don't want disciples, the disciples have to call you in the morning and say, Wake up for prayer, wake up for prayer. You've come to that stage now where you know if I don't do this, my day won't look good. Praise God. You know it yourself. Raise your hand here. If you started the day, you continued the day, something so unexpected happened, and it was a bad thing. Unexpected. You didn't plan, it just happened. Raise your hand. Alright. From what I just taught you, when you look back, do you think you printed it? Do you think you printed it? Write this down. The most aggressive beast. In this world is your heart. The second most aggressive beast in this world is your mind. If you learn to tame them, Satan can't tempt you. Sometimes it's not just about shouting your heart down, it's sometimes shouting your mind down. You gotta shout your mind down. Yeah, shout your mind down. I'll finish here. When I started meditating years ago, yeah, it really helped me to hear the voice of God clear. Like I could see someone, and God will start downloading information about them in seconds. Now, before that, before I started doing all of that, yeah, I started meditating on the word of God. I would find that as I'm meditating on the word of God, yeah, my mind is fighting it, and it's in that moment that my mind is bringing to me all the things I could have done yesterday. Why was I not thinking about those things before meditation? Meditation is simply the process of taming your mind. Those who walk with God and hear God know how to tame their minds, you know how to control your mind. You put it down, put your put your mind down aggressively. It's not every single thought that comes in that you allow to do whatever it wants. This thought is coming into your mind and decorating your mind, anyhow. No, you put it down. Praise God. Put it down. Once you become very sensitive to this, you you you start you, you you may be using it right now. So you I may be teaching, and a thought comes. This is this is a boring service. Boring. Do you know that you can put that thought down? No, no, because human nature is the thought comes in a boring service, it's a borant, and your mind says it's true. You start responding. But a spiritually awake person, such a thought will come in. He assesses the thought and says, No, no, no, no, no, no. Down. Submit to the will of God. Just like yesterday when they said, Oh no, he can sit down. I I can I can guarantee you, if I had sat down when they invited me to sit, they would have brought water, someone would have given me 10 pounds. Oh, yeah, no, no. So this is sympathy. You know, someone would have come out of the woodworks as a potential doctor to tell me, you know, do this. Oh, that looks like it's gonna take about six months. Listen, the devil, you give him an inch, he takes him out. I knew if I allow this thought to sit in my brain, because I was the one feeling this pain. If I allow this, I'm crippled, I'm done for a couple of weeks. You will see me limping here with crutches to sit down and to preach to you. What happened? I didn't put the thought down, but I'm proud of me. I put that thought down. I put that thought down. I put that thought down. Praise God. So to round up, you have a spiritual responsibility. You have a spiritual responsibility. Stop printing out nonsense. Stop printing, stop printing out nonsense. Amen. See, my life can be different. My life can be different. My life is different. It doesn't have to be hard, it doesn't have to be difficult. I don't have to suffer. I don't have to suffer. My life doesn't have to be the way it is. I can fight this thing. I can. My heart will not devise dark roads that will lead me astray. But my heart will devise roads of righteousness. Roads of purity. My heart will make and create all those things. My heart has the ability to give to me in printed form. Exactly what I want. My heart has the ability to print out that exact business that I want. My heart has the exact ability to print out the marriage that I want. My heart has been given that function to print out realities. Yes. My heart prints out realities. My heart functions in a way that it prints out realities. Yeah. So what I want you to do now first, just for a minute, is to reconstruct the image you have in your mind before we pray. As I said before, when I ask you to pray a certain way, the atmosphere for it is here. And some of you will have those testimonies when we leave here. Praise God forevermore. So I want you to close your eyes and capitulate. Close your eyes and reconstruct those roads. If you had roads of unrighteousness in there, turn them to righteousness. If you had roads of bitterness and anger, turn them to love and appreciation. What was printing in your spirit? Turn them, turn the tables, turn them, turn them. As you're doing it, your mind may fight back. Your mind may try to fight back. Tame your mind. Reconstruct those roads before we pray. Because once we start praying, you start printing. This is an exercise you must do every morning. A man's heart deviseth his way. A man's heart diviseth his own way. Creates roads to success, creates roads to calamity. A man's heart deviseth his way. What is it that you want to see? What is it that you want to experience? What kind of house do you want to live in? What kind of marriage do you want? What kind of business do you want? What kind of children do you want? A man's heart diviseth his way. A man's heart diviseth his way. You have a few more seconds before we start praying. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Repeat after me. Say, Father, my mouth established roads yesterday. The day before yesterday. Last week. I begin to declare right now that those roads are no longer my destiny. I'm now walking the righteous roads created in my spirit. Righteous roads, clear paths, righteous roads. I'm walking those roads right now. In the name of the Lord Jesus. I'm walking those roads right now by the power of the Holy Spirit. I'm walking down those roads right now. Powerful roads. Powerful roads. Roads of abundance and righteousness and peace and joy. As I'm praying right now, I begin to walk and pray those roads right now. I begin to pray.
