There is no other name greater, the name of the Son of the Living God, the only Son, the Holy Son of God. I welcome all of you in the name of Jesus and I am excited about what we're going to learn today. I want you, I know it's late, but this is the only time I could teach, so I take every moment.
And my goal is to do the reveals in the morning the same time we did the fasting prayer stuff. So it can just be early in the morning and you get your day going and everything flies. So that is really important.
really the goal. Now, nevertheless, as God has given us this opportunity, we're going to run with it. So I hope that you will be attentive, like the video, share the video.
Can we refresh the YouTube one time before I start teaching? I want you to like the video as many times as possible because this will be very helpful to you. I don't like this amen.
If you are sleepy, we can stop. If you are sleepy, it's okay. We can stop. We'll be fine.
So, now, let me jump right into it. Somebody, I posted the flyer for the teaching and I had somebody in a, like, levitating off the ground with their hands like this and I did that on purpose. Immediately, ah, you see you people, ah, you see you people, ah, wake up, this is levitation. Let me ask you, Jesus levitated to heaven, he flew to heaven, is that a sin? But there was a message I was trying to pass, but it was also clickbait because I just wanted the haters to talk so that more people can watch this and be delivered.
So we play them with their own game. Now hear me by the Spirit of God. Hear me by the Spirit of God and I want you to hear me and hear me clearly.
The problem with believers is you're superstitious and anything that you are told you are spooked about it instead of looking in the word of God to see is it true or not. So many of you that are watching and some of you that are in here, your issue is that your opinion is based on how people feel, not the truth of the Word of God. A child of God does not operate on feelings, emotions, opinions of men.
We only function and operate by the Spirit of God. and by the revealed truth that is in the word of God. That is the function of a believer. That is how a believer ought to operate.
Many of you, your information, if you really investigate, especially people who don't like me you will notice their doctrine are not actually biblically rooted they are rooted of people's opinion like one of the most popular opinion is there are so many people in hell biblically that's just not true There are people in hell. Yes. Lots of people.
But can you compare the number to the people in heaven? Absolutely not. But it is popular to say many people are going to hell.
Which is true. There is a lot of people going to hell because Jesus died to save every single soul. One soul lost is too many.
So in that context we understand. But if you are talking about numbers of people. You cannot compare it. There is a lot more souls. in heaven than in hell let me just give you a basic one if there are more people in hell than in heaven then god is losing the battle let's just use common sense if there are more people in hell then god has no saving power because you see we have made salvation about the strength of men instead of the grace of god Are you getting what I'm saying?
Let's just use common sense. If there will be more people in hell than in heaven, then God lost to the devil. He might as well concede. But is that the truth? Absolutely not.
It's not true. It's absolutely not true. It's foolish. Now if you know about Jesus dying on the cross, he descended into hell, preached to the souls from the time of Noah to his time and brought the captives out of hell.
That means that hell was emptied from the time of Noah to the time of Jesus, which is 2000 years ago. Now remember, according to... Some Biblisists, not all of them, the earth's least to man is 6,000 years, right? Now we are in the last dispensation, meaning we probably don't have more than 100 years.
I'm not saying the world is ending in 100 years. I'm saying we are not, we probably don't. With the way things are moving right now, you can already tell we are actually like at the end.
Alright? We don't have another thousand years. We don't have another hundred years.
I'll be honest with you, I don't even think we have 50 years. That's my personal opinion. I'm not saying God said so. Alright? Now you think about it.
From the beginning of the world. Until 2000 years ago. Every human being that died is not in hell. Because Jesus preached to the souls that were captives and brought them out.
So really hell has been taking in soul for 2000 years. So compare those years to the years before. And remember, in these 2000 years, the gospel is being preached. So if you look at the ratio, they don't add up. But every preacher will be like, ah, preach about sin, preach, which is good.
There is nothing wrong about that. But it's not everybody's message. Repentance is everybody's message. Preaching sin is not everybody's message.
message do you get what I'm saying but but all these things is because our opinion of God is coming from what people think not what the scripture says so even if you look at when people hear meditation a spooked out every but no this is true everybody spooked out Because the church does not know how to meditate. And they have made meditation to be something of new ages. Or cultic people, Buddhist people, or whatever it may be. Anyone in the dark arts is the one that is meditating.
That is what... The preachers who have zero power, and when I talk about zero power, meaning that they have no mastery of their inner man. The Bible says that there are people who are not skilled in the word of truth.
So using the word of God is skill. Can you find that for me Musa? Is Musa up there?
Musa, can you find that for me? It is a skill. Testing their senses.
Skilled in the word of God. You see many of the people preach the word of God but they are not skilled in it. What does it mean to be skilled in the word of God? If the word of God is a sword. Having the ability to use the sword is skill.
Just because I have a sword doesn't mean I know how to use it. Hebrews chapter 5 verse 13 for everyone that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness for he is a babe I'll read that one more time and then we'll go to the next verse for every Everyone that uses milk. Notice.
Not uses the word of God. Uses milk. Baby analogy.
Fundamental analogies. Is unskillful in the word of righteousness. For he is a baby. So when we say you are baby in Christ. We are not even saying that you use scripture the wrong way.
You don't use scripture at all. You didn't hear what I said. Anyone that uses milk is unskillful in the word of truth.
So using milk is not using the word. Milk is what you feed a baby because a baby cannot chew. Even if they were able to chew with their gums, their stomachs cannot digest solids.
I wish somebody would open their ears to hear this. So anyone that is using milk, notice they are using milk, meaning their source of life is milk, not meat. Read the next verse. Let's open the next verse.
But strong meat, notice meat, you need to have the stomach to digest it. Meat is not for everybody. This video may be meat.
It's not for everybody. Look at you, I will delete this video. This video is meat. It's not for everyone.
And it's okay. The problem is people who are drinking milk want everyone to drink milk. Yet the moment you taste steak... You look at milk and you say, what was I eating? Because when you eat meat, you have protein, your body grows, you become stronger.
Milk doesn't make you strong. Milk is fundamental, it makes your bones strong. But when your bones grow, they need meat because muscle is what will accommodate and maintain the bones. So bones without muscle means nothing.
I wish somebody would understand this. Now, now look at this, look at this. I'm coming to what I'm about to teach. I'm just setting the foundation. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age.
Notice, full age. Meat belongs. Milk is for people who can use it, but meat.
Meat belongs. It is assigned to. Even those. Notice. There are people who have meat.
They are growing. But look at this. Even those. Who by reason of what?
Of use. They have eaten meat. Now they have used meat. Notice. Meat is maturity of your being.
The ability to process, the ability to have a cognitive ability to digest the idiosyncratic idea of God. The concept of God fits into your mind now. So you begin to use meat because now you can digest God differently. Now look at what it says. Even so, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Notice, many of these people that tells you, I have discernment. They have never even used their senses. You don't qualify for discernment. So when they say use your discernment, know that they don't even know what discernment is. Because before you get into discernment, you start in the...
realm of senses. You start with the realm of senses. You see, your senses, spiritual senses, make you pick up clues of God.
They don't tell you what God is saying. They don't give you understanding of what God is saying. But they alert you when God moves. They alert you when God is going in a certain direction.
Because your senses will pick it up. Then you know where to look in order to hear God. I wish.
An example is this. Let me prove to you senses. Elijah is in the cave. Waiting on God. There was a strong wild wind.
But God was not in the wild wind. There was a strong fire. Big fire. But God was not in the fire.
How was he knowing God is not in it? Yet all these are manifestations of God. Every one of these was manifestations of God.
Elijah is taken by a whirlwind. So we know a wind represents God. Ruach is God's spirit.
So the wind came, but God's voice for him was not in the wind. Fire came. Moses saw God in a burning flame. In a flame of fire. God is even called a consuming fire.
But Elijah did not go out to hear God. There was an earthquake that split rocks. God was not in it.
And then a still small voice, then Elijah covered his face and went outside to meet God. And God said, Elijah, what are you doing here? Notice he heard the still small voice before he spoke.
I'm talking to the wrong people. You didn't hear what I said. What made him pick up that is his senses.
Oh, now God is outside. Not discernment because discernment is opinion. Discernment is God's opinion concerning a matter.
Not your opinion. Discernment equals God's opinion. Not what you feel. How many of these exposing guys, you see them, they will say, God said, God said, and then they have to take back their words.
Why? Because they are using feelings, not even senses. Sometimes when you pray for people, you will feel, you will sense that your knee hurts.
Then you say, do you have a knee problem? They say, yeah, my knee has been hurting. That wasn't discernment.
That was your senses, you felt. but you felt by the spirit that was not discernment discernment will tell you when they injured the knee how they injured the knee and where the problem is and how to fix it that is discernment i'm not even talking about prophecy discernment that is what there's no verse telling you use your discernment that's a secular term to tell you oh can you think about it the way i'm thinking about it So the problem is we are unskilled with meat. So anything that is spooky to us is demonic.
The Bible says it like this. All authority and power comes from above. You see, revelation is in stages. Okay?
It's in stages. It's in depths, and it's in dimensions, and it's in realms. People who have an earthly conscious, they cannot understand this statement. When they read all authority and power comes from above, they can't really understand it.
Why? Because they have been taught there is the powers of darkness and there is the power of God. And God and Satan are fighting.
Meaning that Satan is at the same level with God. But if you know the word of truth, you know this is not even close to the truth. It's not remotely close to the truth.
The Bible says all authority and power comes from above. Meaning God is the one who is giving authority and power. It did not say some... power he says all power all authority all of it belongs to god so my question to you is this when you're binding witchcraft when you're binding a wizard when you're binding a demon that is fighting you where are those people getting their power Where did they get it from?
Because all authority and power comes from God. Let me make it plain for you. If you go to the book of revelations, it says the bottomless pit was opened. Then the demons that were in there, the beasts that were in there were given power and authority.
Who was giving it to them? God allowed them to do certain things, but there were things they were not allowed. When the devil came to Job, God told him, touch everything, but don't touch this. Notice the jurisdiction is set by God. So when you're fighting somebody who is using dark power, you are literally fighting the same power but you have superior power, so you will overcome them.
That is why believers can be attacked by witchcraft and succumb to it. Because if they possess the power but use it negatively, and they have more of it more than you, they could defeat you. The difference is we have the spirit of God, we have the grace of God, so God covers us beyond what we have mastered.
But this has made people to believe that Satan has power. No, he doesn't. All authority and power comes from above. When we say Satan's power, we are talking about that which was delegated to him, not that which he created. You see what skill in me to make you think you start processing differently then satan can be put in his place If you don't know this truth satan will be on the same level with god Is this making sense?
Let's go into what I want to talk about now, let's talk about meditation Prayer and meditation are supposed to go together. Anyone who prays without meditation, your prayer is actually weak. Not saying God will not hear you, but you will not engage with God at the level He wants you to. Prayer and meditation are supposed to go together. You cannot pray without meditation and you cannot meditate without prayer.
If you separate these two, it is no longer prayer. So there are levels within meditation but the fundamental truth about meditation is that it's joined together with prayer. Secular meditation is clear your mind, now begin to watch your breath, begin.
No, that is not the meditation of God. Notice, their meditation is centered on self. When we meditate, our attention is on God.
Our attention is on the Lord Jesus. Now, understanding prayer should lead you to be strong in meditation. When you become seasoned in meditation, your prayer will not even require words. Because you'll be able to engage with God.
You see, most of you that are watching and most of you that are here, not all of you, but most of you, your prayer is a monologue, not a dialogue. When you are praying and only you are speaking, you don't have meditation with you. Uh-oh.
Because prayer is a conversation. God prayer is not the means of asking for things even though God giving you things are benefits of being with him there are benefits of being with God They are not technically things you need to ask for. They are benefits of being with God. That when you are with God, He will provide for you, He will keep you.
They are not really the center of prayer. The purpose of prayer is to receive the mind, the thoughts of God Almighty Himself. So when I pray, it's because I want to know what God wants me to do, how he wants me to do it, how he wants me to speak, how he wants me to deal with things. If this understanding is not intact, then your prayer is actually pointless. Let me show you something.
Let's go to Proverbs. No, no, no, no. Let's go Psalms 19 verse 14. Psalms 119 verse 14. Are you there? Yes. Okay, read it for me.
I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies as much as in all riches. That's not it. Okay. 1914. 1914. So what did I say? Sorry, 19. I'm sorry.
Forgive me. I was looking at something else I'm being given right now. Okay, go for it.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be One more time. One more time. Notice this.
What you speak with your mouth and the meditation of your heart are two different things. But when you come before God, God needs to accept both. Many of you either come with words or attempt to meditate.
These two are not separate. Let me prove to you what I'm saying. When you master meditation, this is how your prayer looks like.
Isaiah 65 verse 24. Isaiah 65 verse 24. Listen to this. And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer. Wait, before they call, I will answer. How will he hear it?
Keep going. And while they are yet speaking, I will hear. Notice God is listening to you in two dimensions. Before you open your mouth, he has already heard your prayer. While you're speaking, also he's listening.
Same scripture we just read, Psalms 119 verse 14, right? Psalms 1914. Same exact thing. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable unto you.
Then here it's saying, before they call, I will answer. While they are still speaking, I will hear. So God answers to meditation and hears the prayer. amen now i think i'm talking to the wrong people why because prayer you see prayer must be spiritual if prayer is not spiritual is not prayer Because God is spirit. When people hear praying in the spirit, they think, Oh, rabba shandadaba.
No, that's not actually. That is one of the ways to pray in the spirit. It's called praying in tongues. But praying in the spirit is meditation. The problem is you think to meditate, you have to sit still.
That is one of the ways. What if you don't get time to be still? How are you going to hear God? Do you realize every time I prophesy, I'm meditating?
I don't know if you know what I'm saying. Every time I'm in prophecy, I'm in a consistent state of meditation. Do you know why I say I need to fly? Many of you don't understand what I mean, I need to fly.
I'm going to explain it today. But you see me talking to people, smiling with people, laughing with people, but I am not flowing with what they are saying. But I'm somewhere completely different, receiving from the Spirit of God and solving people's issues.
So many, today one of my friends, Prophet Jimmy, called me from the Congo and he was like, man, you need to tell me, how do you prophesy to three, four people at the same time? I said, Prophet Jimmy, that's... I haven't done that actually in a long time. That was small.
When I asked Auntie Benz and Bishop Mike to, today you are bishop, no longer prophet, until you do what you need to do. I asked them to minister to somebody and they all kind of were afraid and Auntie Benz took the step of faith. And I ministered to all three of them specifically. But to me that was the small.
Do you remember one time there was a man of God that came to church and he tried to fake prophecy. He actually faked prophecy. It made me angry. Because he undermined me.
It's a long time ago. Huh? No, no, no, no, no, no. We don't do that because he repented.
He really repented though. With me he repented. To show him that my gift was for real. That it was not fake.
I called out a line of people. I don't know if you remember that service. You remember it? I lined up people from there all the way.
I prophesied to like about 15-20 people. Each one, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Until he sat down. He was like, after service he told me, man of God, how are you doing this?
I said, before I tell you, you need to tell God you're sorry. Why did you undermine me? Say, ah, prophet, it's not like that.
I told him, man, we don't do that here. And because you've done that, you'll never minister for me again. We don't fake. Ah, from that day when I tell him, hey, prophet, he says, ah, prophet, Lovie can hear from, that guy can hear. You think prophesying to all this?
He feared because if I went to one person, you may say I faked it. Do you realize the mama that I prophesied to about her husband being poisoned? Do you realize I wasn't going to prophesy to her?
It is because she pushed her daughter. That it was so funny to me. I said, okay, come, I'm going up. Then she was like, pray for her, pray for her, pray for her.
Then I said, okay, let me listen to God. Then I moved away and I was praying for, I started praying for a man in a wheelchair. And then when I was still praying for him, I stopped.
I said, who's called Robert here? The guy said, I am Robert, right behind the person I was praying for. I said, stand there, I'm coming. And then when I came, I said, you two have the same situation. Then I told her about how her husband died.
I told her, you're a widower. What are you, sir? I am a widow.
I'm a widower and she's a widow. And I went into specific detail how the husband was killed. I even know who killed the husband.
I just didn't want to say it because... I don't want to create drama. I mentioned the husband's name.
I mentioned the grandson's name. Who was actually. What was in. How was I doing all that. Is because.
I have the ability. Through exercise of meat. To detach.
From earth. And connect to heaven. The point of prayer, the point of meditation is that when you enter into the place of prayer, you are supposed to disconnect from earth. Your consciousness must move from the earthly awareness into heavenly awareness. Consciousness just means awareness.
This is another spooky word for the church. If you say consciousness, they now would think about, no. The Bible speaks about consciousness, to be conscious of certain things.
To be conscious means to be fully aware. How many of you pray and if somebody makes noise, you stop praying? If a car is passing and the lights flash, you open your eyes, you are afraid. Then you are not really concentrated. You couldn't really, you did not detach.
The point of prayer is not taking yourself away from people. Because you are supposed to minister in the midst of people. So if you don't know how to connect with God when everybody is pulling from you.
When I go and preach places, prophet this, prophet that, prophet love you, pray for me, prophet love you, I came from this, prophet love you, I came from that, man of God, help me this and this. And you have to be able to attend to as many as you can. You can't attend to all of them, but you have to attend to as many as you can. How will you connect to the spirit of God if you don't know how to detach? The physical body.
is weak. A carnal mind is an enmity with God, meaning that a mind that is earthly cannot pull from God. It cannot even serve God. So why do you want to serve God from a place of disadvantage? What is the benefit of talking to God from a place where he doesn't like to visit?
Because if he speaks to the flesh, the flesh won't obey him. The spirit lasts after the flesh and the flesh after the spirit. These two are clashing. So why would God go to the enemy?
So we are busy trying to spiritualize something that cannot become spiritual. 1 Corinthians 2, Musa. Go to spiritual things can be received by the spiritual.
A carnal man cannot receive things of the Spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned, nor can they know them. It's crazy, look at this. But a natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Notice two problems here. A natural man cannot receive the things of the spirit.
Notice they have no capacity. It is meat. They can't digest it. They can't eat it. Bring back my scriptures.
Look at this. For they are what? Foolishness unto him.
First of all, they look stupid. He can't receive them and they look stupid. Meaning they cannot see beyond what is in the face.
Neither can he know them, meaning that they have no ability to have an experience with it. Why? Because they are spiritually discerned. Notice, so what does discernment include?
It includes receiving. It includes recognizing, meaning you will see it and you will not think it's foolish. And number three, it makes you experience it. that's what discernment is the natural man receiveth not the spirit the things of the spirit of god meaning for you to receive you need what discernment For there are foolishness unto him. Somebody who has discernment can tell when Jesus gives you grape juice and said, this is my blood.
You will not look at it and say, this is foolish. Why am I drinking grape juice? If you are spiritually discerning, you look and say, this is indeed the blood. So it will not be foolish unto you.
You need discernment to be able to what? Recognize what is of God. Number three.
discernment makes you experience things the word knowing means to experience it doesn't mean knowledge because the traditional way of knowledge was actually by experience verse 15 look at this it gets worse But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is not judged by no man. So every opinion about me, you can't judge me because you are a baby. You can't judge me.
That is why the opinion doesn't stop what I'm doing. It can't. How will it stop it?
You are a child, a baby fighting a father. it can't work keep going i want the part where it says spiritual things are discerned by the spiritual comparing spiritual realities can you find that for me it's in the same place Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teaches. Notice, there's even words of the Spirit.
You see, stop right there, keep the scripture up there. You remember when I said, God is lasting after you. ah the internet exploded they say how can you say god is lasting i was like english is not even my first language but i know what the word last means last simply means intense desire it is not negative and it is not positive it just means intense desire now the context you put it in determines whether it is negative or positive god does not just want you god is intense about wanting you he is so intense that he killed his own son That is so intense man. That is a different level of intensity.
To kill somebody to get somebody else. Notice the words I used for that statement was to show you how deep the heart of God is about wanting you. God doesn't just love you because love it's not about wanting. Love is a decision.
Love has nothing to do with emotions. Many of you say, oh, I fell out of love. No, there is no such thing as falling out of love because love is a decision because people will fall out of character.
People will fall out of what they agreed on. People will fall out of covenant. Love means I am accepting you with all your flaws because love only counts if there are flaws.
Love has nothing to do with emotion. If God dealt with us based on emotion, we would be in the pit right now. God has an intense desire for us. But also with that intense desire, He has chosen to love us.
If you look at the beginning, He didn't love everyone. He said, this one I love, that one I don't love. when Jesus he decided to give Jesus what did he say for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son whosoever meaning I don't care who it is if you receive him my love for you is gone for you I have accepted you whether you are prostitute a murderer a wizard a witch come I will set you free I have accepted you well I am processing you even if you fall a hundred times I have accepted you That is love. So when Christians say God loves you, they don't know what they are saying.
They think God is intense about you. No, God loves you, meaning you're filthy and he has accepted you. Which is still intense. So when you say, Father, thank you for your love.
What you're saying is, Father, thank you. Many of you in your mind, you're saying, Father, thank you for being emotional about me. No, that's not what you're saying.
When you say, Father, thank you for your love. You're saying, Father, thank you for accepting me. When I love you.
when I cheat, when I do this, when I do that, you have accepted me. That's what love is. So if you know what love is, then you can describe it better when you pray.
bring it back to me musa watch this by which the holy ghost teacheth comparing spiritual things with spiritual not with the spiritual comparing spiritual things with spiritual now many of these guys are arguing online they just compare spiritual things with scripture Now you missed what I'm just telling you. They take scripture and they compare. Why?
Because they have no spiritual substance to compare spiritual things. Many of them are still arguing about Starbucks, they are arguing about hair, they are arguing about... It's like... How shallow are you guys when it comes to spiritual things? No, this is true.
This is across seas, across in over the water in the everyone is just intense about physical things that were there before you notice them and he did not kill you. Let's be honest. So was the devil attacking you when you used to go there? Was the devil attacking you when you were wearing a certain brand? You didn't even know and you preached on the pulpit.
People got saved, people got delivered. All of a sudden now it's diabolical. Do you see how...
People are fighting about things that have no substance whatsoever. Am I saying these brands are godly? No. But what I'm telling you is they have no power.
You wore it and preached and saved souls. What does that tell you? So what is my conclusion in what I'm saying? Don't compare spiritual things with material things. You see, when Jesus was preaching, When our Lord Jesus was preaching, they had no ability to compare spiritual things.
So they tried to use scripture because they thought it was wrong. Then when he responded to them with a question based on what they were asking, because they wanted to uphold their dignity, they pulled away. You see, the modern people, Pharisees, they don't even have dignity. They have no self-respect. They will hang themselves to dry and then they look foolish.
They don't even know how to protect their ministry so that tomorrow if they realize that I was wrong, they can continue to serve God because they never shot themselves in the leg. Many of them made definite statements and it came back to bite them. And now they have to make a public apology video every other month, every other week. Oh yeah, I misspoke. Notice how you just diluted your ministry.
And people clap and say, wow, brother, you did well to be honest and vulnerable. That's not leadership. A leader knows what I know today may change tomorrow.
So let me approach this cleverly. Then when you did something wasn't right or you missed what you preach, you do a part two. After a few months, once you know the truth, you say, okay, I preached it to this level, but I want you to know revelation is progressive. This is the other side of it.
I didn't see it. That is growth. But when you make an apology, many of them make apologies because what they are trying to do is to save face before the sheep that lead them.
Because they don't want to lose the sheep that leads them. Not the sheep they are leading. The sheep that lead them.
So they know that they have to be accountable to the sheep. Because they may not get tithe, they may not get these people, the internet as well. So in order for them to be accepted publicly, they have to do certain things differently.
Yet accountability is to the Lord God primarily. Let me push this deeper. Prayer and meditation go together. You separate them.
You destroy prayer because the point of prayer is to have communion with God. Detaching from this reality. And entering into the actual true reality that you will spend eternity in.
So if the spiritual world is the reality that you are going to spend eternity in. It means this life is a dream. So when you meditate and pray you are actually waking up.
You see some people got it, some people didn't get it. You are attempting to wake up. Because once you cross over to the other side, you will never look at this life the same. Then you see people like Paul starting to say, Who will deliver me from this body? They started realizing that the body is a prison.
While you want to live long, they are looking for a way out of this body. I feel like I'm talking to myself. They are pursuing a way out of this body. You deliver me from this body.
When you are in prayer, you are supposed to be like somebody in a coffin. That no matter what people are saying, you are not even aware you're gone. By the time you regain consciousness, you have received the understanding you need to navigate this dream world that is very temporary. If you pray and you don't detach, you didn't really pray.
When the Lord Jesus went to pray, the Bible will say he will pray all night. Who has words for the whole night? Let's be real, man.
You won't be speaking all night. When the Lord Jesus came out of prayer, you realize that the Lord Jesus was rested, he didn't need sleep, he just went to preach. He knew exactly where to go, what to do, how to do it. When you want to pray and it's three hours, apostles woke up they found him talking with elijah and and and moses having deep conversations then they said lord let us build one ton of barnacle for you and one for the other and another one for the other why were they all so confounded they realized another reality invaded where they were That the meditation of the Lord Jesus was so profound that it swallowed up the environment, the atmosphere they were in.
That even those who are asleep walk up and walk up in the Spirit. Their spiritual eyes began to see people who are visiting. Then when they left they said, Lord let us build one tabernacle for you, one tabernacle for Elijah, one tabernacle for Moses. And a cloud covered them and said, this is my son, listen to him.
But when Jesus asked them, who do the people say I am? How could they hear the voice of the father and still deny him? Peter, we know you.
You've been with Jesus. Me? I don't know who you're talking about. Maybe Pedro. Not me.
Are you getting what I'm saying? You see Peter now entering the realm of detachment. When he was praying...
At a certain house, he was in deep prayer that he will fall into a trance. Visit with God, come back to himself and know exactly what he needs to do. You see him in prison, arrested, sleeping between the guards, in intense meditation within his rest. That when he saw the angel of the Lord came, the Bible tells you that Peter thought that he was seeing a vision.
But he went along, look how deep these guys were in meditation. That even though he was in prison. He did not say, let me come out of this dream. It's stressing me. He remained in it to see the end.
And the Bible says, and when Peter had come to himself, he realized he was outside. and then he say now i know assuredly that god sent his angel to deliver me and to save me from the expectations of the jews notice he was so used to meditation that even when he was trying to sleep he naturally could just enter into the realm of the spirit That he walks through God's doors open by themselves, gates open by themselves. Without opening his mouth, Father deliver me.
My guy was staying quiet. Notice how profound this man had become. Why?
Because they understood what meditation is. Meditation is not repetition of scripture. That is called memorization. Reciting scripture does not mean understanding scripture, does not mean meditating on scripture.
Reciting scripture, many of you recite things that you don't even know what it says. Every Christian can tell you John 3 16 but they have no true understanding of it. Why?
Because you have recited it so many times. You have seen it so many times, but the full understanding of it is not really there. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1.1. Everybody says it, but how many people know what it's really saying? Many don't. When I said the true identity of God is light, they said, you see, he doesn't even believe Jesus is the Word.
That's not what I said, people. All these things are because when you recite things without comprehension of them, you remain shallow. Meditation is not recitation. Meditation is not simply thinking about the word.
Because you think of a lot of things, it doesn't mean you are meditating. I wish somebody could understand this. Meditation is not sitting in a quiet place. Even though a quiet place is necessary when you are growing in meditation. But quietness does not equate to meditation.
Many of you when you are quiet, the devil gives you ideas. There's a saying where I come from, it says an idle mind is the devil's workshop. Clearing your mind has nothing to do with meditation. The fundamental understanding of meditation is to understand that I must be consumed by God. Not I must consume God.
I must be consumed by God. Consuming God means I am doing all these things to come close. But meditation is to let God take over. It's to be consumed by God.
When the Holy Spirit came upon you, first time you are not consuming the holy spirit the holy spirit was consuming you when he came upon you rabbi you notice you are not even thinking about who was around that's true that's so true meditation is not ignoring what is around Just because I'm ignoring that person, it means I am still aware of that person and I am no longer aware of God. Let me repeat that. Meditation is not ignoring what is around you. If I am ignoring it, it means I am aware of it.
I am still not into meditation. Because once I enter into meditation, I lose consciousness of what is here. I become present with the Lord.
What are the building blocks of meditation? Before I tell you what the building blocks of meditation are, let me tell you the benefits of meditation. Number one, meditation makes you visit with God.
Many of you cannot understand the depth of scripture because you don't meditate. Studying gives you general understanding, surface understanding. Meditation reveals the mind of God concerning what you read.
Meditation gives you in-depth thoughts of God himself that he has ordained for you. The Lord says this, for I know the thoughts I have concerning you are to give you a hope and a future and an expected end, right? How many of you know those thoughts? Meditation reveals the thoughts of God. If you read 1 Corinthians 2 from 6 till the end, it tells you, As it is written, I have not seen nor heard the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
And people celebrate that. ear has not heard, heart has not received, your eyes have not seen, what the Lord has prepared for you. I'm here to tell you what God has prepared for you is big. It has not even entered the hearts of men.
No, that's a terrible thing. Because Paul corrects it. He reads the next, if you read the next verse, he tells you, these are the things that God has revealed to us by his spirit. But there is no revelation without meditation.
The reason why so many people don't have revelation is there is no meditation. If there is meditation, there will be revelation. If there is meditation, there will be what? Revelation.
I've seen people write books on meditation of the word, which is simply memorization and recitation. And they will demonize us. Let me tell you, anyone in the kingdom of God who knows how to meditate will know who is who in the kingdom.
Ah, the Spirit of God will bear witness with your spirit because you encounter him. Thank you Musa for this. 1 Timothy 4.15 Meditate upon these things. Give thyself wholly to them that profiting may appear to all.
We'll come to that. Don't worry. Those are benefits. We'll speak about that. Not yet.
But you get what I'm saying. There are much more profound things about God that you don't know because of the lack of meditation. How do you think Moses was up the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights?
You think he was just talking? The man was having encounters with angels. By the time he realized it was 40 days. He wasn't counting down hours and time.
Do you realize when Moses came down the mountain, the Bible does not talk about him being thin. It does not talk about him being thirsty. He actually talks about him coming down and dropping judgment on people who are disobeying God.
If you fasted for 40 days, do you think you have strength to do that? When our Lord Jesus did 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, the Bible only tells you that he was hungry. It doesn't tell you he was weak. It doesn't tell you he was skinny.
He just tells you he was hungry. But when you read about Daniel, he tells you Daniel was weak. When you read about Peter, he tells you they were weak.
When you read about other people, he tells you they were weak. But these guys who are eating 40 days and 40 nights, there's no weakness. You didn't get what I was telling you.
It's so much, it is much more profound than what you're thinking. It is not what you're thinking, children of God. I can promise you that before the Lord. It's not what you're thinking. Because of time, let me wrap this up.
You want to see some more scriptures or meditation? Let's do it. Let's do that.
And then let me teach you how to set yourself up to detach. Psalms 119 verse 15. I think that's what was making me say 119. Are you there Bethel? Yes.
Read it. I will meditate in thy precepts and have respect unto thy ways. I will honor thy ways. I'll meditate on your precepts. and i will what honor thy ways notice meditation revealed the ways of god you're not catching it when he was made the person is telling you i will meditate on your precepts your requirements and i will respect you Jeremiah is saying, show me your ancient ways.
Show me your ancient paths. Here he's just meditating and saying, oh, I will respect them. Meaning I will honor them. Because the ways are not animate. They are not a being.
He's speaking more about honor. Psalms 103 verse 34. 104 verse 34. Psalms 104 verse 34. Psalms 104 verse 34. Amen. My meditation of him shall be sweet and I will be glad in the Lord. My meditation of him shall be sweet. So if it shall be sweet, notice he's not saying the scripture will be sweet.
He's saying my meditation meaning it has something to do with me. So there's a way you can sweeten meditation. I won't go into deep of this thing, but I will show you how to position yourself for meditation. Philippians chapter 4 verse 8. Finally brethren.
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good reason, report. If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, meditate on this. Think on this.
Notice, meditation is not just on what is written. Because every good and perfect gift comes from above. So when he's saying, I will meditate, my meditation will be sweet.
He has positioned himself to see something else. Let me give you one of my favorites. Deuteronomy chapter 6 verse 6 to 8. I will show you even the Isaacs who are meditating a lot.
You know that? You didn't know that? Before we read that, let me show you something. You didn't know that? Okay.
Ah, this is deep. Genesis 24 verse 63. Genesis 24, 63. And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw and behold the camels were coming.
So this is something he went in the evening to meditate in the field. Now what scriptures did Isaac have? I'm asking you a question.
What scriptures? Because all of these guys telling you about meditation, they tell you, you need to meditate on verses. No, what scripture did this man have?
It's because you are so afraid. You have been told to fear anything that is unknown because the people who are speaking to you don't know what they are talking about. I can show you thousands of scriptures if possible and I'm using thousands as an exaggeration meaning there is a lot of scriptures encouraging you to meditate.
Deuteronomy 6, 6 to 8. And these words which I command thee this day shall be in thine heart, and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and thou shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest. I'm not going to talk about this now. Because this will be controversial. For no reason.
I'll just let you read verse 8. for the last time. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand. One day I want you to go and watch Jews when they are praying. They tie something on their hand and they tie something on their forehead between their eyes.
Read it. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon their hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes. We'll talk about that another time. Let me drop it now.
What did the person say? 100%. I won't talk about that right now. Thank you, Musa.
So hear me by the Spirit of God. Hear me by the Spirit of God. Meditation is a lifestyle.
When you get up, when you're talking about it, notice it is saturated, it has become part of you. Prayer with your lips is temporary. Meditation is consistent.
Consistent. In order to meditate, you need to develop concentration. The ability to concentrate. If you have no concentration, you cannot unlock meditation.
If you cannot concentrate, you cannot enter into meditation. Because concentration means full focus. A double-minded person is double-minded in all their ways and such a person must not, should not expect anything from the Lord.
God is telling you, if you are double-minded, don't even expect anything from me. Because it is evident you are double-minded in all what? Your ways.
So anyone who cannot concentrate to God, you are vagabond. You pray you're with God, but am I doing something wrong? Am I doing something right? Lord, today you do it, tomorrow you don't do it.
You concentrate one second, you don't know how to be still. Because number one, you lack concentration. Concentration means total focus. Anyone that wants to walk in the realm of meditation, the first thing you need is total concentration.
Why? Why is it important? Because if your mind is wavering left or right, then you are like the sea, you are not stationary.
Because your movement to God is not what you do with your body, it's what you do with your soul. Where your treasures are, there will your heart also be. I'll say that again.
I want you to understand the illustration I'm about to do now. Where your treasures are, where your treasures are, there your heart shall also be. And the heart here is talking about the soul.
It's not talking about the spirit. When your mind is consumed by something, that is where your heart is always drawn. If you are in love with somebody, your thoughts are always thinking about them and your heart is always desiring to be where they are.
So any opportunity you get to be with them, you will be there. Is that making sense? And treasure just means where your affection is.
Where your thoughts are centered, your soul will follow. Is this making sense? Prophet Mike, let me use you as an example. Come, just come here.
Stand right here. If Prophet Mike is Jesus, and I give him my concentration, Naturally, my soul will rise and go to where he is. I pray you understand what I just told you.
Because if my concentration cannot depart where I am, It means I have not made a way for my soul to go somewhere. The reason why you are having a hard time to meditate and to draw close to God is because your mind is going left and right but it's not going up. Why?
Because your concentration is not there. That is the first principle. Thank you, Prophet Mike. God bless you.
Actually, Bishop Mike, you refuse to prophesy. That is the first thing. Concentration is important. To concentrate means to be laser focused. Number two, by how do you become laser focused?
You have to tell your entire being. You have to tell your entire being. If you're going to be before God and you want to be strong in meditation, you have to start talking to yourself. I'll give God everything.
You see, when you read the first commandment, what does it tell you? Love God with all your mind, with all your strength, with all your might, with everything. It is concentration.
Concentrate all your energy, your strength into loving God, accepting God, following after God. It's not saying be affectionate. Love God with all your heart.
It means accept that God is God all by himself. Because love is a verb. Notice in order for you to love God, you need your strength. But many of you say, God knows my heart that I love him. No, that's not what God is looking at.
If you do not concentrate your entire being on him, you don't love him. That is why the Lord Jesus said, them that love me are the ones who keep my command and do it. It takes all of you to show God that you love him.
Why is it that you are not able to concentrate? It's because you have been taught to be distracted. Do you realize before we had Instagram and Facebook, people read?
Why were people reading? When you have to read a book, it means you're concentrating on one thing. People's minds started being destroyed when porn was introduced. Let me explain to you how the devil systematically destroyed people.
I was reading a thing about pornography and why it destroys people. That most people who have engaged in masturbation and all this kind of stuff, they have no ability to enjoy their partner anymore. Why?
Because you can be with 50 women or 50 men in your mind in a span of two minutes. Because remember, your soul cannot tell the difference whether it is physical or not. When you are watching porn, you are concentrating and then you change the concentration, and then you change the concentration, and then you change the concentration. Whatever is able to stimulate your body is what you get into. Then when the stimulation tries starts dying you start looking for dirtier and dirtier and notice your whole brain now you have been exposed to too much that is not realistic but now your soul believes this is real and when people engage with such things you don't engage one time they engage with it for a long time to break that pattern it really takes the spirit of God by the time they break it it affects a lot of things i was reading about about men especially in the church so many are affected by this your erection your testosterone all of these things go get messed up notice how much damage has been caused simply because they have taught you to get into something and come out of it and come out of it and come out of it.
Right now, watching a movie is very difficult for many people. Why? Because you are entertained by TikTok.
You can go through the whole world. In a span of one minute, you can watch so many entertaining things. By the time you have to watch one thing, you cannot.
You get bored very quick. Your attention span is broken. Attention span is gone.
Why? We are in the generation of swipe. Oh, one third, five second, that's boring. This is boring.
Nobody gives a chance anything to grow or to get into it. Why? Because meditation is literally soaking yourself into something.
But if your brain has already been taught not to focus, If it is not exciting, come out of it. When you begin to meditate, it is not exciting. It is work.
You need concentration. Now, if you cannot concentrate on the thought of the goodness and the wonder of God, you will not be able to even ignite meditation. I don't know if this is making sense. Because we are trained to literally be distracted. Many of you when you wake up, the first thing is you're on TikTok or Instagram.
You don't think about prayer. You don't think about the Lord. I will praise you when I rise up. When you rise up, you worship Instagram.
Because it's the first person you report to. What are people doing? Why do you care what people are doing? What are you doing? Is this making sense to you?
Is this bringing you to a certain point? So notice this. It is crazy. It is absolutely crazy.
And, and, and, and foolish that we have bought into. Now, I'm not saying don't use social media. We live in a time where you need it.
But don't follow into the system because they even curate. You see, there's something that now they call it what? Algorithm, right? That they know what you like so they know what to push to you so that they can keep your attention so they can advertise to you. But you have not trained your mind to remain on the algorithm of God because of what is to come.
So you have trained yourself to be distracted if something is not exciting. Number two, stillness. Stillness. Stillness has to do with the troubles of the world, not concentration now.
We are talking about full trust in God, that your troubles are silenced when you think about God. So many of us have an inability, even though we tell ourselves I'm going to concentrate, but our soul is not still. Now we are no longer talking about the brain, we are talking about the soul.
The soul cannot be still because you're thinking of the bill that is about to come, you're thinking about the difficult situations that have risen. All these things are consuming you. There is no stillness because there is no rest for your soul. Before meditation can be effective for you, you have to learn to cast your burdens on God and live them with God. Anyone who does not know how to cast their burdens on God will never be able to enter into the meditation of the kingdom of light.
It will be impossible. Because the point of approaching God is because you know your problems are solved. Your problems are not solved when you enter to meet God.
Just the fact that you're diligent about seeking Him, your problems are what? Solved. So if concentration is an issue, and then stillness is lacking, you haven't even started.
Notice we have not even entered. These are the requirements for you to line up with the purpose of God, to line up with the will of God. How many of you can really be still when you're being thrown in the lion's den? When you're going through the fire? When you're going through a storm?
That is when you need stillness more than anything, but many of us can't do that. We lack in concentration, but we're even worse in trusting God. Many of you don't trust if I close my eyes. and start thinking of Jesus, thinking of Jesus, thinking of his beauty, many of you will be like, be careful, a demon is going to get you. How will a demon get me when I'm engaging with God?
Do you see, if Jesus is your high tower, many of you are still trying to protect yourself. Man, if you meditate the wrong way, the devil will get you. How will the devil, is God not protecting you?
First of all, there is no such thing as the devil getting you while you're in the presence of God. When you're seeking God. But you see how we have no stillness. You're even being taught not to be still in the presence of God. You have to keep your guard up because you are the one protecting you.
Yet it is God that protects you and protects me. It is God himself that does that. It is the Lord God himself that does that.
It is God Almighty all by himself that does that. Nobody else. He is the only protector we have.
These two elements that I have pointed to you. I'll add a third one. A sincere desire to see him. Because you have to understand prayer is activated by intention.
If there is no intention, there is no prayer. Concentration, stillness, and intense desire to see him. Intention, why am I doing it?
That determines if God is going to answer or not. Before they call, I will answer. While they are still speaking, I will hear.
Before they call, I will answer why. That my intention is to call him. He's already present.
If two or three are gathered in my name, I am in their midst. Do you know what that means? It's not saying that when two or three have prayed, then I come between them. That's what people understand, but that's not what he's saying.
He's saying if two or three are gathered in my name, if two or three are coming together in my name, I am already in their midst. I am the center of it. It's not saying they called me. I am the one that called them. I am the center.
I'm in the center of it. I'm the one who caused it so notice the intense desire plays a huge part huge part Because many of you, they'll ask you, what do you want from God? I just want to know, I just want to love him more.
That's not an intention. That's a decision. If you want to love God, you love God. It has nothing to do with prayer. It has everything to do with that decision.
Is Jesus still Lord if you're going through chemo? Is Jesus still Lord when you're losing everything? Is Jesus still Lord when everybody forsakes you?
Is Jesus still Lord when all the worst things you can think of happen to you? you is he still your Lord and Savior that is genuine love for God because love is a decision love has nothing to do with emotions love has nothing to do with receiving what you prayed for love is a commitment that whatsoever he deems right for me I will accept it even if it is the cross Now you love God. Many of you when things just become hard you will spit on God. You turn against God because you never loved him. You loved his hand and not his heart.
Because once he does not give you what you want, you reject him. Was that really love? It wasn't love.
You deceived yourself. So comprehend this. Without these things being in place, you cannot detach from this reality. This is the runway you need to take off.
Whenever I want to prophesy, this is my secret. Whenever I am ready to prophesy, I always love this song. Your words are settled in heaven. It will be done. Father, let it be done.
Yours is the kingdom forever. Your will be done. Let it be done.
When they begin to sing that, I forget everybody that is in the room. All I know what he says settles everything. So I am consumed on the decisions of heaven.
Not the decision of the doctor that you will not live. Not your own unbelief if you will make it to tomorrow. That is no longer what I am going by.
I am no longer looking at your sickness. looking at your weakness. I'm not even looking at my abilities. I am consumed with one thing. He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from all what?
Their troubles. That's all I am consumed by. That song when he plays, I enter into meditation. Not because the song is making me meditate. That message reminds me.
So you see me dancing when I'm dancing and I'm doing all these things in my mind. I am just grateful that he has settled everything before he even starts speaking to me. My concentration is on him. My soul is at rest. Knowing that if Jesus says yes, no one can say no.
If Jesus says no, nobody can say yes. There is nothing in this world that God cannot do. There's a beautiful saying that a powerful man of God in Nigeria always says, what God cannot do does not exist. That is what, at that moment, that is the only picture I see. The moment I am convicted by that truth, my spiritual eyes open I begin to hear God about anything I want not only what he wants to tell me but anything I want to hear about I will hear anything I want to know I will know because he will give me a solution for it So at that moment, that's why I always say, I want to fly.
I want to fly. I'm not yet taking off. The moment I take off, I no longer even need them to sing.
If you notice, when I prophesy, I prophesy like conversation. I tell you a story. I'll start from where it started, what the root of the issue is. How many prophets do you know tell you where the root of your problem is?
This is what you came to see me about. Most prophets or people with them, first of all, those who are prophets by the spirit of Mark Zuckerberg, they want to impress you by calling names. I call names too. But you know when names are called by the spirit of God and when somebody is just spewing out information. It's the truth.
When you are speaking by the Spirit of God, you don't just spew out names for entertainment. It is much more profound. I always remember one of my first videos that ever went viral on TikTok.
Right now on TikTok I have 1.5 million followers, right? But my first video that ever blew up, I had a line of people lined up. And I stopped and I said, who's Micah or Malachi?
I can't remember. And this young man says, it's me. I said, okay.
He was shocked. I was like, relax. You had an accident. You lost this.
He said, I had an accident. I lost this finger. I went into detail of everything that happened.
The divorce of the parents, the separation of the parents, what God is saying. Oh God. That's the first video that ever went viral for me on TikTok.
Now, was I intending to be viral? No, I was just putting out things that God wants me to put out, right? But the reason why I can minister to just anybody at any time is because I know how to get to that place where nothing else matters except what he's saying.
Detailed, in-depth, prophetic does not exist without meditation. Today I was speaking to one of my mentees, and I usually don't dream. If I dream, I'm seeing something. And I was speaking to them and I was like, actually, last night I had a dream about your mother. I saw her at this house.
This is how the gate looked. This is how the gate looked. This is how the pathway to that gate looked. looked like.
The person was like, that's where she just moved to the new house. I said, okay, this is what I saw. This is what I saw. And I had them calling your mom by this name. I don't know your mom's name.
What's your mom's name? Oh, that's what actually her name is. I went into all these things that I had seen in a dream.
Because now when you enter a certain realm of meditation, even your dreams are no longer dreams. They are visitations for people. I wasn't praying for them. I wasn't thinking about them.
God can just show me something for me to know so that I know how to pray. Are you understanding what I'm trying to tell you? Children of God, I plead with you. Learn the ways of God.
Learn the ways of God so that you can be a benefit to many. There are people who are broken. There are people who are suffering.
There are people who are lost. There are people who are bound. There are people who lack direction. If you could only hear from the Lord.
Not these fake things that people are just, you know, people are just excited about anything now. Everybody is, oh, the Lord said, the Lord said. Let us see the evidence of the Lord said in your life being fruitful. Whenever I minister to somebody and I see that you're left to right, left to right, I stop.
That's how I am. Because if you're double-minded, there is nothing that I'm telling you will come to pass. I remember one lady I went to visit with my father the next minute is like showing me a shirt saying oh this man wants to meet with you I saw him in the realms I'm like hmm okay what are you talking about All this is because people don't want to mature calmly in the presence of God.
Be planted so that God can raise you up. I've been prophesying for 31 years now. 31 years. I know what I'm talking about. Not these little boys and little girls that started walking with God a few years ago.
Even if it's 10 years ago, you're still a baby. For 31 years, since I was 6 years old. God did not just raise me, but God also sent powerful men of God to enhance what was already with me.
Nobody laid hands on me to make me a professor. I have been a prophet since I was born. I didn't go to any mountain to start professing.
That's the most idiotic thing anybody can ever say. Why don't they go to the same mountain and pray? They go to the river.
What river? Growth in the spirit comes from being planted. Anyone who lacks the ability to be planted cannot grow. Prayer and Meditation a brother and sister you can't have one without the other they go together the reason why you pray father god i just bless you father god and you'll be told okay let's pray concerning this father god i just bless you father god i bless you we didn't say bless god we said ask god for the grace to mature father god i just praise you for the grace to I thank you for the grace.
Oh, I bless you for the grace. Notice, you can't even have a conversation with God because your mind doesn't even know how to talk to God. You can't just sit there and say, Father, I need grace. I need grace to grow. I've noticed in my work I'm not progressing.
I've noticed in my work I'm not accelerating. I'm still believing the same things I believed 10 years ago. It's like I'm not evolving.
In fact, I'm not growing at all. I don't want to pretend like I'm growing before people. Lord, help me to actually grow.
If grace is what makes us grow, if we prophesy according to the measure of grace, then Father, I pray for the grace to grow. Notice, now you are literally pouring your heart. Now that's real prayer.
Not Father God right now, growth right now. You didn't plead your case. That shows that there is no stillness, there is no concentration. There is no intense desire.
It's all diluted. That's not how you pray. Jesus fell down. He said, Father, if it is your will, let this cup of suffering pass.
Not my will, but let it be your will. Do you know how many of you would have prayed? Father, right now, do it, Lord.
Move this cup, oh Lord. But whatever you say, notice, it's not real. It's not a conversation. Even in your expression before God, there is no stillness.
Because we have followed a program. We have not followed the ways of the Spirit. May the Lord help you. And may the Lord Jesus help us all because we will be truly ridiculed in the world if we don't mature to the place whereby God can truly be glorified because of all the great things he has done with us.
I pray that the Lord Jesus will bless you and increase you. I want us to give to the Lord. Grab the best that you have. Thanking God prayerfully. I'm not going to close in prayer.
I want you to pray for yourself. as you're giving to God, pour your heart to God. Pray to God to give you the ability to concentrate.
That also means that you need to change how you sleep. If you sleep with the TV on, turn it off. Learn to be still.
If I'm sleeping, I'm sleeping. If I'm eating, I'm not eating and watching. I'm simply eating.
If I'm going to look at Instagram or whatever, I'm going to give myself this amount of time. After that, I'm not looking at it again. Be principled.
If you're not a principled individual where everything goes at every time, you will not be able to be still and do what God wants you to do. I don't know if this is making sense. Learn to prioritize your time with God.
Learn to prioritize the times you need to. Like compartmentalize. What is the word? Compartmentalize.
Thank you. Do that with your life. I promise you. You will see the things that God wants you to do and how easy they will come. Go and give to God and I will see you tomorrow.
Hallelujah. Father, we lift your name that is above all names. We lift your name that is mightier than any other name. Father, we lift the name of Jesus, the only name that can save, the only name that can save.
