Hello everyone. This episode is titled The Warfare of Prophecy. We are still dealing with the subject of co-perception. I hope the previous episodes have blessed you as much as they have blessed me. That's my prayer. Today our anchor scripture is taken from First Timothy chapter 1 from verse 18 to 19. It says, This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good welfare, holding faith and a good conscience. But by rejecting this, some have made shipwreck of their faith. When we were studying a light in a dark place, we took a look at 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 19, and we observed Peter's reference to prophets, prophecy, or the prophetic word as a light in a dark place, right? And we emphasize that the prophetic word was not supposed to be like we're not supposed to live our entire lives waiting for a prophetic word. That the prophetic word is was only a temporal solution to a more permanent situation, which is that the glory of God is supposed to be unveiled or revealed in you. So the prophetic word is a temporal nature. So that's the reason why you see. I mean, just imagine a great man of God that you know, say Reverend Chris Oya Kilomia, for example, and you hear him making statements and saying that he's waiting, you know, for a prophetic word, or somebody had prophesied into his life that it was going to come to pass. It will be strange to you, right? Because you can already see the signs of the glory of God being manifested in his life or out of him. Do you understand? So the prophetic word only shows that you're still growing, but that you need to unveil. You want the day start to arise in your heart, you want to the glory of God inside of you to be revealed because it will benefit you and it will benefit the world around you. You want the glory of God to be released. So, in the realm of glory, there is no need for the prophetic word. Do you understand? In the realm of glory, the need for the prophetic word diminishes as we walk in the light of God's presence Himself. All right, so that shows that you have spiritually advanced, it shows that you are now experiencing, you know, the glory, the advancement that God has always desired for you. Since the fall of humanity and since the fall of Adam, you know, human beings have strived unsuccessfully to reach the level of glory, to reach a certain level of glory. Well, we can never attain to God's glory, right? But God's glory is also inside of us, and we want to at least reach and attain that level of glory that God already gave to us. So you see every kind of religion trying to do everything possible to attain it, you know, whether it's by long period of fasting, whether it's by long period of prayers, and all these things are good. And even in Christianity, I'm telling you that you can pray in tongues for a very, very, very, very, very long time. Your prayer can support, you know, you really the release of the glory, but it is not prayer primarily that causes the glory of God in you to be released. What causes the glory of God to be released in you is consciousness, it is co-perception. Okay, but there are steps to it because if you pray, you will if you pray more, you will be able to understand more of God's will for your life and more of God's word for your life. Do you understand? When you read the Bible, it opens to you. The more you pray, the you you actually advance spiritually. But prayer is not the only thing. Reading the Bible is good, but if you're not yet having co-perception, it will do you no good. So I'm telling you that whatever it thinks that you are doing, your co-perception needs to be there. Because 1 Timothy chapter 1, verse 18, it says this that you have to hold faith in one hand and a good conscience. That means hold your faith and hold your co-perception in the other hand, otherwise, you will make shipwreck of your faith. They must go hand in hand. When you're praying in tongues, you're praying in tongues in faith. Everything that you do in the kingdom of God has to be done in faith. Do you understand? But you see, while you are doing all these things in faith, and by faith, you must hold co-perception. The pictures of God must be before you, and you must be aware of it. You must be aware of it. I think recently I watched a message by Reverend Chris Columbia, and he was talking about, you know, um, I think maturity, I think so. I'm not sure now, as a as a believer, right? But one of the things that he starts to explain was consciousness that he enters into a plane and he was coming to the meeting and he became conscious. And the way he was speaking about it, it will pass over a lot of people's ears or you know, because over their heads, because they don't understand what he's saying. He was literally saying that he sits down even before going to the meeting and he begins to be conscious, like he imagines it, and he's conscious of the glory of God coming out of him and engulfing the plane. He's conscious of the fact that even as he's entering into the meeting, that the glory of God is oozing out of him, that the pre the river of life is oozing out of him, not in the exact words I'm using right now, right? But that the power of God and the presence of God is oozing out of him and it's engulfing everybody. So he's conscious of it even before he enters it. So you see that the manifestation of the glory has a lot to do with co-perception and consciousness. Okay. The other hand of it, I found out that you know, some of these teachings, when we teach these things, the reason why Christians have avoided or pastors have avoided teaching these things is because of new age theories. Because you hear someone like Oprah Winfrey starts to talk about Christ consciousness, and then it now confuses you because I read a post the other day, and this lady was testifying of how that she was in search of Christ consciousness under the umbrella of the new age, right? And that she became demonized, like she she had so much demonic encounters that she, if you just mention Christ consciousness right now, she just thinks it's completely demonic. Do you get so a lot of people kept on trying to explain to her, you know, that the Bible is this and all of that, but she wouldn't hear none of it. Why? Because she has had a negative experience with the term. So you see that already the new age have already removed it from the Bible. They're giving you demons instead of teaching you co-perception, and then they now come back, and then now when I talk about consciousness and I talk about co-perception or I talk about Christ's consciousness, you don't want to hear about it because you think it's demonic. No, this is how Satan has always been trying to corrupt the word of God or to corrupt the things of the spirit. The reason why it's important for Satan to corrupt you from you knowing these things, okay, and try to stop you from knowing these things is so that you will not attain it. Because if you attain it, if you attain it, you are a god. That means that they are finished. All those demons that are disturbing you, they are they are completely homeless, they are gone, they are done for. So they will have to try as much as possible to keep you in the dark. So do not listen to it. As long as there is a counterfeit, understand that there must be the original. And this is the original I'm telling you, that everything that you have ever worked for as a Christian, all the disciplines that you have attained as a Christian, was supposed to bring you to this level of the release of the glory. And the release of the glory is consciousness. Let me tell you, Jesus does not, when Jesus was on earth, he just didn't do things like hap-hazardly, he didn't just do things like anyhow. Okay, he had it looked as if Jesus had a clock or a timing that he was following. He knew the seasons and the times of his life, and he just lived it out that way. And that's what I want to challenge you that you should ask God, you know, to teach you to number your days so that you be able to apply your heart to wisdom. Do you get so that you will get up? Because imagine the situation of the woman by the well, right? And Jesus was going somewhere with his disciples, he already knew his prophetic calendar or prophetic timing that he was supposed to be at that well with that woman. He knew when the woman was going to be there, and he went there at the time, even sent his disciples away so that he could have a proper conversation with her. Do you understand? Or was it that was it Lazarus when Lazarus died, you know, and they they asked him, Oh, why do uh oh, Master, you know, if you had come here earlier, you know, Lazarus would not have died. And what did he say? He said, It only happened like that, so that the glory of God will be manifested, it will show for the glory of God. What was he saying? He was saying that this is the proper timing. We had I had to wait till this time. This is the time I was supposed to be here. I know what I'm doing. Or was it when, or was it when he was about to heal the crippled man? And people around him, the disciples asked him, and he said, What's the reason why this man is crippled? Was it a sin of his parents, or was it a sin of you know what exactly has made him crippled? And Jesus answered and said, He's like this because of the glory of God, so that the glory of God will also be what manifested. Do you understand? So he was saying that he said, This man is placed at this particular point in time, so that I'm going to heal him, so that the glory of God will be manifested. So you see that Jesus did things, you know, like clockwork, like he was right on time. He knew he had the he had prophetic information, you know, that led him. Now, let me tell you when Jesus' spirit was released. You remember the transfiguration, right? When he took the disciples and they went on that mount and he stayed there and he shone so brightly, and there was there was Moses and there was Abraham, right? That was the release of the spirit. That was when his his Jesus was fully human, but he was showing us something that you know that the glory inside of you in this human body, you can also release it, and he was doing that consciously, consciously, in the sight of the the apostles, so that they can give us the information, so that they can share the same information with us. Are you hearing me? So Jesus didn't do things anyhow, and that should be also our attitude in life, that the same way our master never did things anyhow, he followed his prophetic timing. It means that we need to go back and follow our prophetic timing, Lord. What is the next step? Where am I supposed to be? Who am I supposed to meet? Where am I supposed to go? Don't venture into life blindly. I mean, it's so frustrating. I know you already know this. That it's so frustrating to be blind and not see what the next step is, right? But I'm trying to tell you that there is a word for you. There is always a word. Go and get it and be responsible for that word. You have to hold on to it as a light in the dark place. Hold on to it in prayer, hold on to it in word. You know, anything you do in your mind, in your thoughts, you hold on to it, and do not allow those random thoughts of the enemy come into your heart and and you know create a stronghold in your mind. Do not let them shake them off, shake them off, shake them off, and hold on to the word because it will come to pass. So, like I said, I started by saying that since the fall of Adam, that humanity has strived unsuccessfully to reach the level of God's glory that he gave to us, right? But through Jesus' sacrifice now, we have been restored to that spiritual position where God shares his own glory with us. God shares his glory with us. I mean, you may have heard that he said, oh, that God does not share his glory with any man. No, he does not share his glory with other idols, he doesn't share his glory with idols or with other gods. And if you look at it from the point of view of DIY Salvation Cosmic Edition, you know that to be true. Because all other idols and demonic entities, they all are living in the basement of reality. Where there's no light at all, they are cut off from the life of God, cut off from the river of life. There is no cloud there, there is no river, there is no water there. Do you understand? They have no firmament covering over them. Do you understand? So they are cut off from the life of God, they are cut off from the glory of God, completely shut out in maximum security prisons, right? That's where they are. They only just project into a three-dimensional realm for a three-dimensional human being to deceive a three-dimensional, blind or spiritually blind human to make them feel as if they are gods. And the spiritually blind human would serve these entities as if they are gods until their eyes are open and they realize that these entities are actually below us. Now, God is in the skyscraper. In the skyscraper of reality, God is in the topmost floor. That means he's on the topmost, topmost floor of the skyscraper of reality. And these beings, these other idols, are down, down, down. When we say down, down Satan, we mean down, down, down, downness, Satan. Do you get? And they are down, and they are in they are cut off from God's light. And God is in the topmost floor of the skyscraper of reality. How were you expecting that God is going to share his glory with those things? Do you understand? And they are even created beings that he has locked up in prison reserved for judgment. Do you understand? So He He said, Because if you read that scripture, God was saying, I he was talking about idols, and he says, I will not share my glory with those idols. But God has indeed shared his glory with you and I. He has shared his glory with you and I, with human beings. When the Holy Spirit came down, he shared his glory with us. That's the reason why the fire dropped upon the heads of the people at Pentecost. And now you have the Holy Ghost in you, and I have the Holy Ghost in me. We share God's glory. Hallelujah. So now you know these things that I'm telling you conceptually, but you have to experience it in your faith journey. It is paramount that you and I get to the point where we can experience these things in our faith journey. And that's the reason why this series of teaching is designed to guide you towards your realization of these things experientially. You have to experience these things. Glory to God. Okay, so don't forget the title of today's topic is The Warfare of Prophecy. Now, over the course of these teachings, we have mentioned First Peter chapter 1 from verse 18 to 19. We have also mentioned 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 19. In these letters, you find that nautical terms are actually used or employed to illustrate and teach this spiritual reality of co-perception. In 1 Timothy chapter 1, from verse 18 to 19, we are admonished to avoid spiritual shipwreck. And how are we to avoid it by holding faith and what good a good conscience, which is co-perception? Now we also see in 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 18, that we are also supposed to hold on to the prophetic word as a light in the dark, so that we avoid being lost at sea. Do you see? Shipwreck, lost at sea. Shipwreck, avoid shipwreck, avoid being lost at sea. Avoid shipwreck, avoid being lost at sea. Understand this that the Holy Spirit, through two different authors, underlines or underscores the importance of this message of a warfare of prophecy. You have to war a good warfare of prophecy until they come to pass in your life. For a good warfare of prophecy until they come to pass in your life. Hold on to the light of the prophetic word, which will also provide what? Co-perception with God for clarity and for guidance. So, in summary, what is the warfare of prophecy? The warfare of prophecy is you holding faith and maintaining co-perception until the day dawns. The warfare of prophecy is that you must hold faith and a good conscience until the day dawns and the day arises in your heart. So we now see the combined messages from these two scriptures is very clear. Number one, we see that is compared to a journey in the dark, a voyage in the dark. That's what life is. It's like we're walking through murky waters, or we're we're sailing rather, we're sailing through murky waters. It's a voyage in the dark. Realistically speaking, right? This is true because that's really what it is. You know, the fabric of reality, what we call it, and what we don't know. The darkness that is inside the that is in the fabric of reality, you know. That darkness, the 95% of the unseen things we cannot, the things we cannot see, we know from the Bible that it's all connected to the river of life, which is also the river of fire, the crystal sea mingled with fire. These are the ways that a human being observing the river of life will call it. But that's what makes up the entire universe. Okay, so if we are an entire universe that is sitting in water, do you understand that this entire life that we're living, we're living basically in water, in a mirror dimension, really? Okay, so it's actually if you're a star, you are voyaging in the dark. All the stars that are hanging up there and they're doing their traveling, we're all traveling in the river of life, even if we cannot see it or we do not know, we do not perceive it. Do you understand? So, truly, it is a voyage in the dark sea, it is a voyage in the deep sea. Do you get so it's showing us this verse of scriptures can already tell us the depth of life as we're going through, we are navigating through darkness, right? And the darkness, of course, we know we've talked about the real darkness, but then we're seeing that the darkness shows itself up as what challenges, as uncertainties, as trials, as tribulations, as encounters of all sorts. Isaiah chapter 60, verse 2. See, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness is over the people, but the Lord rises upon you, and his glory appears over you. Do you get so even through this darkness, we are voyaging in the dark, but we thank God because we have the presence of the prophetic word, that's the presence of the light of God's word for guidance, for glory, right? And this is what helps us to illuminate our path for us to be able to see through the darkest moments. John chapter 1, verse 5. The light shines in darkness, and the darkness cannot comprehend it. Psalm 119, verse 105. Some wet went out on the sea in ships. They were merchants on the mighty waters, they saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep. The great thing is that we have the prophetic word, which is like a word, which is a lamp for our feet and a light to our path. Matthew chapter 4, verse 16 says, The people living in darkness have seen a great light. And then it says, On those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned. So you see, life is truly likened to a voyage in the dark. Understand it? That's the reason why you always keep wondering what's my tomorrow going to be like. Am I going to be rich, influential, and very powerful? How am I going to get there? The key is for you to take a hold on the prophetic word. Because otherwise, you would follow the system of the world, which is that you have to go to school, complete a certain degree, get a certain number of points, get a job at a certain number of places, which everybody in the entire world is actually. Looking for vying for as well. So, who is gonna get it? The competition is quite high, you know. So, there's just a system of the world that has been given to us, which is not even working for the most. Okay, so at the end of the day, what do you do is a dark realm? We are born of the spirit, so we have to use the methods of the spirit to be able to survive in this world, and it tells us the life is a like voyaging through the dark. You need light, and the light is the word of God. The word of God is a light to your feet, is a lamp to your feet, is a light to your path. Everybody is living in darkness, but we have seen a great light, and we grab it, the prophetic word, and we use that. Glory to God. The second point is that you need the prophetic word to first align you with God's plan and purposes for your life. That is the initial alignment. So, first and foremost, you already know. Let's say you just got born again. Before you got born again, right? You were living in darkness. Now you receive Jesus, light has come to you. Now, after light has come to you, the next thing is that you need a prophetic line, a prophetic word which will align you with God's plan and purpose for your life, and this is your initial alignment. So, under this, we'll find out that God only is the one that knows his plans and his purposes for your life. So you need to ask him and find out. Jeremiah chapter 29, verse 11. For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you. God has plans to prosper you. God has plans to prosper you. God has always had plans to prosper you, not to harm you, plans to give you hope and the future. I don't know how come some of us or some of you tend to think that God has plans to punish you or God has plans to, you know, do you harm or to hurt you, especially because of the abundance of your saints in quotes. No, God has always only had plans to prosper you. That's what the Bible says. He has only always had plans to do you good. That's the reason why Jesus came and died for you. You were not even born when Jesus came and died for you. Now that you are alive and you have now understood this and you have received the blessing from the sacrifice of Jesus on your behalf. Do you think that God wants to hurt you or harm you now? No. The only person who wants to hurt you and harm you is the devil. You see that voice that you're hearing inside of your mind, right? That is always accusing you. Let me tell you, it's not the voice of God. It's not the voice of God. I'm telling you, some of you believe so strongly it's the voice of God. God does not ever accuse you. Why would he not accuse you? Because he already made a perfect plan. The sacrifice of Jesus already takes care of all of your sins, past, present, and future. So that means he planned beforehand that we're going to mess up, and he already made blood available to cleanse you of all of your sins. He only has plans to prosper you. The voice that you're hearing, which we're going to talk along the line of this topic also, because there's a there's a topic we're going to look at that is called the persecutor within you. That voice you're hearing that is always prosecuting you, accusing you. What does the Bible say? The Bible says that the accuser of the brethren has been cast down. God does not accuse you, God does not tempt you, God does not accuse you, God does not plan to do you good harm, He only has plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future. Glory to God. The second thing you need to know is that when you catch a glimpse of God's plan for you, you have to trust Him. Oh my God. Trust God. Sometimes when you catch a glimpse of the plan, it seems so impossible. It seems so impossible that you're afraid to believe. Or you're afraid that if you believe, your heart will be broken. What if it doesn't come to pass? Then your heart will be broken. You must trust God. It may not look like it. It may not look like it. No wind, no rain, nothing. It may not look like it. But I'm telling you, it is this there is a sound of abundance of rain. It may not look like it. You must trust God. Proverbs chapter 3, from verse 5 to 6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your path straight. See, let's pray together. I'll pray for you and I'll let's just pray together. Say this with me. Say, Father, in the name of Jesus, I trust you with all my heart. I trust you, spirit, soul, and body. I trust you, Father, with my spirit, with my soul, with my body. Father God, I trust you with all of my heart. That means that I do not lean to my own understanding. And I will never again lean to my own understanding. In all my ways, Father, I submit to you. I submit all my plans. I submit all my ideas. I submit all my smartness. I submit all my intelligence, all my wisdom. I submit to you. And I ask you, Father, make my path straight right now in Jesus' name. Amen. Alright. Now, after we've done this, the third point, you have to henceforth eagerly watch for God's divine guidance through the prophetic word. Either you will see dreams or you will have open visions or somebody will talk to you, or when you're reading the word of God, the Bible, the scriptures that stand out to you, that jump at you, write them down and begin to meditate on them. It is important. That is your word. Write them down, memorize them and begin to meditate on them. Isaiah chapter 30, verse 21. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, This is the way walking it. Thank you, Heavenly Father. Father, I thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you for your guidance. For everyone under the sound of my voice, I thank you because I know that you are guiding them. I thank you for your guidance over their lives. I thank you, Lord. I thank you for they shall hear a word, they shall hear a voice behind them saying, This is the way walking it. Father, we thank you because we never lack your guidance. Holy Spirit, we thank you for your presence in our lives. You are a good, good father. You are a good good father. You are a good good father in Jesus' mighty name. Amen. So you see that God's desire is to lead you into his perfect plan and into his purpose for your life. It does not benefit God for you to go off course. Look at all the stars and the planets in the universe. When stars go off course, you know what they do to them? They are jailed, they immediately go to star prison. That is a black hole. Okay, they are jailed, they are cut off from the glory of God. Alright? People that do that go off course are cut off from the glory of God. God does not like it. He doesn't like to lose children. You do would you like to lose any of your child? No. Or any of your children? No. There is no being that wants to love to wants to lose their children. So God does not like that you be cut off from him. That is not his desire. His desire is that one day you will see him face to face as he is. Glory to God. And you will be able to behold yourself as you are in the image and in the likeness of God. Okay. So God desires that we will enter into his perfect plan and into his purposes for our lives. However, we must discern, we must align ourselves with his will. And this is where the challenge is, because life is so complex that you're trying now, and then something else hits you. One minute you're happy. One week you're like, wow, this is the best thing in my life. You know, and the next week you just find that that thing is taken away from you. Why? Because demons don't like to see you smiling, so they come at you, they come at you, they come at you, and then you now start thinking, they start to whisper in your ears and tell you, God has abandoned you. God says, I He said, remember in our last episode, He said to me to tell you, I have never forsaken you. Even we when you were listening to those demons and you're listening to those words and they were making you depressed, he was there. All you needed to do was to reach out and hang on. Reach out. There's always a light, and the light is the word. Once you can get that light, you will get to God. Do you get? He's there, but there's a method, there's a method to all of these things. You have to reach out. You have to reach out by yourself. Glory to God. Because even many times he tries to reach out to you, do you even know? Do you reach out to him? Do you get it? It's only when you're pushed against the wall that you're like, God, where are you? And God is saying, I have never left you, I have never forsaken you. Okay, so when life becomes so challenging and complex, this is where the prophetic word becomes crucial. The prophetic words spoken through prophets or revealed directly to you through prayer and meditation will clarify and affirm God's plan and purposes for your life. It will give you specific direction, it will give you specific guidance, it will give you encouragement, it will help you to navigate your journey with confidence and assurance. So if you hear the prophetic word, you align yourself with God's divine blueprint for your life. You have really made it if you do that. And if you continue to walk in his will and fulfill his purposes, guess what? You've made it truly in life. Now, this initial alignment, remember, we're talking about initial alignment, that it will set the foundation for a fruitful and a fulfilling relationship with God, but it will also help you to experience God's blessings in every area of your life.
