1:00:22 hallelujah and I want to quickly teach I have a lot to teach because I sense that God is going to do amazing things in this place today come on say Amen like you believe so we're talking about Believers Authority Believers Authority I was in Ghana last week and I really thank God for what he has begun in that Nation Hallelujah and I know Pastor Shah preached the roof of Hallelujah what a man James 1:1 17 James 1:1 17 and the Lord has led me to start in this way for a reason James 1:1

1:01:11 17 I'm going to need a thicker handkerchief than this cuz today not today are you in James 1:17 to explain this text I know I know I preach this the first time I think 4 years ago reboot Camp um can I have two male protocols up here in fact three three any any anyone or anybody actually anybody actually okay pastor Dam who for past Dam yeah and you come come come come come bus how are you it's been a while now please come and back this man just back him no Pastor Dam you stay here come and back him come and back him back him yes

1:01:56 you you know you know about Kiki I don't don't worry I'm just playing don't worry all right every don't worry I'm just playing everybody read James 117 together one two go see let me tell you something I know I've said this about many verses in the Bible but this is one of the most powerful verses in the entire Bible I've said this about many verses but this one this one strong and you need this in your walk with God this is one of the most important convictions you can have in your spiritual journey listen I've always been an advocate for people having the Liberty to ask questions I

1:02:42 believe that the word of God is self defendant and what I mean by that is if you search you will discover the truth and so I've never been bothered by the Curiosity of people but let me tell you one thing for sure the questions will never endend and at some point in your Christian Journey You Must Believe and just have the faith in the word of God that God is good only good and always good say God is good God is good only good only always good now this text says every good gift and every perfect gift comes from above comes down from the Father of Lights with whom is no variableness neither

1:03:28 shadow of turning he doesn't shift Shadows he's consistent in his goodness say loud amen and when the Bible says from the Father of Lights that's an illusion to the sun because in planetary space we have bodies that emit light either directly or indirectly we have the stars and you have the moon but amongst those bodies the Sun is father metaphorically do you understand you understand what I'm saying when it comes to the kind of energy that the son emits and because of this illusion it tells us something the Bible tells us that day to day author speech and light night or night chose knowledge it means that there is something about the Sun that explains our perspective of God and

1:04:15 this is important when we were in primary school please stretch out your hands both of you when we were in primary school we were told that the sun rises where and set where some of you Echo you don't know don't worry it's okay don't wor I caught you anyway so let me try again the sun rises where and sets but later the development of knowledge proved to us that the sun does not rise I hope you know that maybe some of you are just discovering the sun does not rise the sun does not set the sun does not move at all from our perspective it appears are

1:05:03 you listening to this that the sun rises and sets but the sun is stationary it doesn't move so what happens let's say Pastor dami is the Son and this is the Earth right what happens I want you to rotate like this we are told that the Earth rotates right this is a brief science class stop the O the Earth rotates and revolves around the sun isn't that so and so when he is backing the sun it looks like it's dark but the problem is not the sun the sun is shining let me tell you something in the real environment of the sun there is no night so when you are experiencing night

1:05:49 or Darkness you are the one who backed are you listening to this so listen it says that with God there is no variation no shadow of turning why then do we experience Shadows because sometimes our conviction shifts our Focus shifts and from our perspective now someone is here wondering where is God why is he so dark God has shifted this is not what he promised you are the one who shifted are you listening to this this simple illustration I'm telling is what happens to many of us please put your hands down so that you will not begin to have you had any

1:06:37 question that bothered you in your walk with God you thought there was no answer only for you to receive an answer at the time it felt like a shadow you know there's a young man someone asked them what is that question in the Bible that always ped you and he brought out like 15 solid questions I was on en rout Canada at the time one of the celebrities in this nation had to send me a DM please come and answer you know let me tell something they may drag me on Twitter but when there are questions to be answered anyway it's just my

1:07:22 observation so they came come and answer by the the time I checked the Tweet 15,000 likes solid questions but simple questions if Jesus is seated does he SE forever do you understand I'm simple questions and that by the way is the topic of our seron today seated right if I have time I'll delve into that but we have a full month glory to God but all I'm telling you is this you must come to a point in your walk with God let me thank God for apologetics thank God for helping people see reason and answer but you must trust God enough ahead of time to say God is always good and only good because I try but I don't have all

1:08:07 the answers and sometimes you will have questions you are wondering what happened what happened have you ever seen someone who prays more than you is faithful more than you comes to church never failed in tithing you heard the person died and you're wondering why but you must come to a place sometimes you have the answers easily in the Bible sometimes every good gift every perfect gift comes from the father of light with whom there is no varess nor shadow of turning let me tell you this what does this have to do with believer's authority everything is the beginning because if the devil can persuade you that the predicament you are going through is the will of God there's no way out there's no way out

1:08:55 and believe believe me there are many people who believe that God is behind it is one of the sweetest tricks of the devil so you don't fight it who will fight the will of God and some don't even see the contradiction they don't see the contradiction someone came to Ken again she said I have cancer I believe that God is um teaching me something you know but I want you to pray for me and so he laid down on her and say Lord increase the lesson so that she was not like what do you mean I thought you said God is teaching you why do you want to leave his class stay there and learn very well Hallelujah so if only good and

1:09:42 every good comes from God where then does evil come from that's the next question this is the beginning of Believers Authority Clarity regarding the source of evil please put your hands together for them you can go to your [Applause] seat and they smell G give me my anky sorry don't worry just bring the one that was there before Oh you can bring that one bring that one I

1:10:30 whose zone is this whose zone is this just Hallelujah see every good comes from God you know some people know that but this next part is very important say only good comes from God Only He good in the morning good in the evening good all the time good in the Old Testament amen somebody am he didn't change he didn't repent and that's why we need more proper teaching in the church amen

1:11:15 somebody and so the next thing like I said we need to uncover is where then does evil Come From Evil stems from two sources number one the falling nature of the world please what did I call it see you have to understand the Earth is Fallen it's just like going to the office not knowing that your cleaner had resigned I hope you know that there are caregivers who do that they tell you they're going for Christmas and they don't return because you didn't know that the cleaner had resigned the office might be dirty for a while until you get replacement EX except you choose to do it yourself what I'm letting you see is that when someone who is in charge of an

1:12:02 environment vacates his position the environment suffers so what I'm letting you know is that when man fail nature fail as well nature fail as well and so the Bible tells us this in Romans 8:2 it says but the creature was subjected to fertility not willingly the Creator was subjection I beg your pardon the creation was subjected to futility not willingly but because of him who subjected it in Hope verse 21 it says because the creation itself also will be delivered say loud amen amen so not only will you receive a new body at the Advent of the second coming

1:12:47 of Christ there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth and the Earth is also crying out for that because every time the ocean goes beyond its Bank destroys lives destroys property it does not want to something is wrong it is also crying for deliverance it says the creation itself we will be delivered from the bondage of corruption to the Glorious Liberty of the children of God say loud amen amen so when we come back to our full place the Earth will also be restored it's a fallen world sometimes it doesn't have to be you it doesn't have to be the devil things just happen because it's a

1:13:34 fallen world it's a fallen world please are you listening to this this is so important you can do all the right things and have a bad day some of you know what I'm saying have you ever prepared for a day you ironed you pressed your clothes kept your shoes you know and you're like ah everything is right then the moment you stepped out you're like who went to hell and left the door open the Fallen nature of the world and then number two the devil and oh boy this is very important this is where we are going to be dwelling for most of the month Jesus

1:14:21 said or sorry Peter was quoting Jesus Acts 10:3 popular text is is how God Anointed with the Holy Ghost and power how God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about doing good healing all that were oppressed by who of the devil because God was with him listen I've seen this so many times many things that seem ordinary are caused by demons many people who seem sick are actually not sick at all are you listening to me yes sir you know one of the biggest testimonies I've ever witnessed in this ministry and it's biggest for biggest

1:15:07 for sentimental reasons this is someone I know very well have family members know me I mean in an informal way we've I've gone to their house they come to my house and now the daughter goes for a scan discovers she has a tumor when you're close to a man of God and there's a problem you have every right to expect do you understand what I'm saying that proximity should count I'd been praying about it trusting God for it then one day right in this church the former venue remember deeper Lagos another one is coming don't miss it I was teaching hypertrophy in prayer

1:15:52 remember and we were done and I felt led to walk amongst the audience and there was such a surge of Glory as I walked towards this lady she was carrying her baby it's like the power of God lifted her so she flung her baby if you listen to the recording you might hear a part where I shouted catch that baby catch she flung her baby the protol caught the baby a demon was reacting I said in the name of Jesus come out from that day till now no more they went for a is not there are you listening to me you see when it hits close to home it has a different impact but it just makes you realize if we don't teach Believers

1:16:39 Authority the devil will get away with a lot are you listening to what I'm saying this teaching is important I can stand here and tell you stories till tomorrow I see a lot every day every day if you want only recent stories there are plenty and some I don't even have the permission to share it's a wicked world where does pain come from the Fallen nature of the world number two the devil and of course number three man man it is because of man that sickness exists in the first place that death entered the world the possibility of death entered the world and there are a lot of ological and philosophical ways

1:17:26 to navigate that conversation and we'll do that when we have more time maybe in MBC or something like that Hallelujah so how come a lot of people from their perspective sometimes question the goodness of God all I will tell you is this and if this is all I can emphasize in this seron because time is just running I don't know where time is running to we just started listen listen to this wrong teaching cast Shadows on the nature of God wrong teaching and wrong teaching will lead to wrong expectations and wrong expectations will lead to disappointment for instance you know Pastor K went to see one of his

1:18:12 friends and the friend talked about how he went to a place and they said he should give his only car and that he will see what God was going to do I think they gave him a timeline that in in 4 weeks so he gave his car he was trkking do you understand one week came past second week came past one month 2 months 3 months 4 months 5 months 1 year 1 and 1/2 years then he got angry at God and left church but PK says he not it's not God that man didn't speak for god listen let

1:18:58 me tell you something just so you don't misunderstand what I'm saying I believe in sacrifice I'm in fact that teaching has to be revitalized in today's Church L we swing to another extreme but you see you don't you don't give to God like that you don't calculate the returns in 7 weeks in 5 days and that's why the fundamental reason you should give to God is because you love him don't get me started on that we'll talk about that another time but all I'm trying to eniz is that wrong teachings will lead to wrong expectations are you listening to what I'm saying are you aware that subconsciously we have also incinerated that if you are faithful

1:19:45 only good things will happen to you do you know there are many churches with Christians with that expectation that because you are faithful you come to church regularly you don't fail in your gifts you don't fail in your tithing you don't fail in all those things therefore you won't even have challenges in life I'm here to tell you it's a lie nothing can be farther from the truth and nobody who reads the Bible objectively will wind up with such a silly conclusion it's not true and so we have people with a transactional relationship with God listen the Bible tells us this in John chapter 9 that the disciples saw someone who was born blind and they asked him a

1:20:32 question they asked Jesus a question who sined now that might seem like a funny question to you but let me tell you something you don't realize how familiar it sounds let me say it in your and you will see if it sounds familiar T have you heard that before who did I sin against or in English let me use P who I offend you don't realize how common these statements are in our culture because there is a faulty pre supposition that because I come to church and because I'm faithful I shouldn't go through trials that's the

1:21:18 truth and so when you go through trials even if your presupposition was false you think God has disappointed you meanwhile it's your understanding your perspective God has been consistent he has assured you in this world you will go through diverse tests you are the one who refused not to read from that part of the Bible you will go through diverse tests but be of good care I have overcome the world that's the promise of God are you listening to me yes sir and so God's promise is that no matter what you face he will provide a way of Escape and if you don't have that consistent lens you will go through trials and be like where where was God you are disappointed over what they did not

1:22:05 promise you who sinned and Jesus gave a resounding response he said neither because sometimes we're looking we're investigating was it his paren was it him and Jesus said neither and this is an important perspective when it comes to working of Miracles he said but that the work of God might be manifest in him and he said as long as I'm in the word I'm the light of the world meaning stop investigating the source of the problem sometimes and just solve it God has sent you there as an answer say loud amen

1:22:52 amen for you to know how serious this understanding is in the church this 40 presupposition is do you realize for many people the story of job is still a conundrum why did job go through all he went through some people don't know because like job a lot of people think that because job was faithful he shouldn't have gone through what what he went through again that's a faulty presupposition a faulty presupposition and you know another funny thing A lot of people do not know the story of J they do not know the story of J let me ask you this let me see good Bible students how many chapters does the

1:23:38 story of Job have now be honest how many of you did not know that the story of Job The Book of Job had more than 40 chapters be honest raise your hand hm raise your hand thank thank you for your honesty you know what a lot of people do they read the first two chapters and they think they know the story what I just explained that happened in John chapter 9 is the story of the entire Book of Job the theology at the time was this if you are faithful you will not go through trials but job went through trials therefore it is either of two things it is either job SED or God SED that is the

1:24:23 summary of the Book of Job and so for more than 38 chapters you know what they were using the book to do the friends of job will say you SE think about it well you must have done this job said no I did not see it is God who is to blame that's what they were doing throughout the Book of Job throughout the book trying to find who is at fault let me surprise you do you realize at no point did job say God help me it never dawned on you at no point did job say Satan I rebuke you at no point he wasn't even addressing the problem head

1:25:10 on he was angry at the sheer possibility of him going through tough times just the sheer possibility if I have enough time I will go through this I doubt I have enough time to to touch it today but let me just move on with this because this is very important so what happens when we think only good things happen to good people what happens listen when it comes to believer's Authority the knowledge is important that's why I'm taking my time I know it's hot this is the wrong time to be doing exes but please bear with me amen somebody amen after all these days if they say you are hot is a compliment right what happens when we think only good things happen to good people I'm

1:25:55 going to move with the speed of light now number one we treat other people who are going through hard times poorly when we think only good things happen to good people we will think therefore people who are going through tough times is because they have an inconsistency that we cannot see think of it do you know how stupid and wicked and selfish you have to be to see someone like job who lost so much in one day and starts trying to investigate tell him you must have done something tell us confess that was their preoccupation throughout their stay there and you might not be that extreme but everybody knows in many charismatic circles that's how we

1:26:41 operate have you seen people the moment they see someone in pain before they empathize they just want to just give you the impression you don't have faith enough how can you be going through this and whilst they are correct the way they go about it is wrong and they downplay what you are going through have hey can I talk sir do I have your permission to talk sir have you ever been going through a trial and you hear someone advising you like an authority in faith and you know that he has not gone through what you are going through it's just convenient it's convenient to go to go to someone who is sick and say how can you be sick stand up Shake It Up you have not gone through that if you are so confident are you sure if

1:27:28 you go to the doctor and get a diagnosis now you you you are such an authority on faith that if we give you seven days you will come out to advise is is sweet and sometimes they will just do it in an insensitive way they just hit you get up what are you doing on the floor exercise your faith huh there is another extreme where you get into that pity party everybody who is trying to get you to stir up your faith becomes an annoyance to you don't also get into that negative um frame of mind but at the same time there must be empathy they see someone born blind and you're asking someone must have sinned who sinned who

1:28:15 sinned praise the Lord want to come and do it is it okay praise the Lord praise the Lord sound him good or do I just use this all right now praise the

1:29:00 [Music] Lord volume please Hallelujah you all can hear me all right thank you Holy Ghost Hallelujah now listen to me this is very important this matters to God you see Jesus told the parable that a lot of

1:29:45 people don't talk about enough the Bible says in Luke chapter 18 that two men went to the temple to pray and one of them was a publican and the auth was a Pharisee and the Pharisee said to himself he says I thank you God I'm not like these other people publicans and sinners I fast twice a week I don't fail in my tithing and I pray always and the Bible tells us that that Pharisee went away not justified listen just to be sure you're following who told the story Jesus and so that tells you that there are some things that people think will dear them closer to God that actually pushes them away and even makes them more vulnerable he says he went away not justified and the Publican who wouldn't

1:30:33 even dare lift his head to God smot his chest and said God be merciful to me a sinner and the Bible says he left that place Justified let me tell you this there is a type of devotional favor we call it devotional favor God calls it pride and Jesus said for everyone who exalts himself shall be abased but everyone who humbles himself shall be brought up are you listening to me there is a type of devotion where subconsciously you looking at others and you're thinking I pray more than this person I fast more than this person I'm more faithful than this person let me tell you something when it comes to Believers Authority that is the wrongest thing you can do if you have that mentality you can be praying for long and the prayer won't count I'm explaining to you why it is not always

1:31:18 commentate the level of prayer and the level of results Jesus the Bible tells us that your prayer can be a sounding brass it can be a waste your heart must be right your understanding must be right and that Jewish culture was so entrenched in that kind of negative thoughts do you know that when they had a child that was disabled they had the right legally according to their tradition to disinherit the child the child was seen as an abandon I mean an Abomination if you are born with this defect it must be that you are a sinner or that your parents are a sinner are sinners and so people wanted to distance themselves from situations like that so

1:32:05 that guy and I don't want to go into the strict um Jewish tradition of it that guy his parents actually abandoned him which is why when they wanted to investigate the matter in the next chapter they had to sent for his parents and the parents said he's an adult ask him they didn't want to be accountable neither were they when you had a child who had any physical defect you can disinherit the child and abandon the child not just that according to Jewish tradition listen to this this is powerful are you here amen somebody say loud amen all right just to be sure you're following according to Jewish tradition when you see someone who was disinherited when you're walking past the person you speakit you speakit that was part of the

1:32:51 tradition and then imagine what what it must have been like that guy even if he was blind he knew the sound of thepit he knew what it represented but now Jesus comes on the scene and then Jesus speaks and he he's thinking in his mind where here we go again he's no different from the rest but instead of the speit representing like anyone else you are not one of us you don't qualify Jesus bent down come on are you with me and mix that spit with some clay and put it on his eye as if to say very source of your abandonment and your shame will be the source of your healing come on are you with me and this is the beautiful part Jesus told him go and wash so one last time everybody got the opportunity

1:33:38 to seee speit on him but for the last time as he was going they saw the speit on him oh this is the one that was disinherited for the last time he walked in their midst see this speit you used it to show me that I am I'm I'm I'm not one of you I'm not good enough but then he washed and it was gone his eyes come on are you listening to this you know I told you December during reboot Camp there are a lot of good stories you will never really understand until you understand the roots and then the context of it all and so that's so powerful that the source of your shame will be the source of your healing maybe that's a prophetic word for someone in the very aspects that you have been mocked God will make you a

1:34:25 voice in The Very City you were mocked God will make you a voice your amen ought to be louder than that but the Bain I mean the main Crux of the story is that Jesus said neither this guy didn't sin his parents didn't [Music] sin but that the work of God may be manifest in him you know the people who sin the people who insist that all who are going through a tough time are going through that tough time because their walk with God is not as it should be it's a sin it's not just a bad thing it's a sin it's a sin it's a sin to insist that your faithfulness is what will make sure that

1:35:12 you have a good passage in life it's a sin there is a name for it is called self-righteousness have you heard of that term before you are is self Trust and when you see things that way there are a lot of things that um were not apparent when it came to the situation of job that will become clearer to you let me tell you a few things people didn't know about the story of Job first and foremost what kind of Solomon Grandy story is this born on Monday Christian on Tuesday married on Wednesday took in on Thursday died on Friday buried on Saturday this is the story of in one week he lost all his businesses all his children all

1:35:59 everything in one day listen I know the devil is powerful but how unfortunate can one person be and then here is the thing for 38 chapters some historians say seven full days someone who just went through the greatest tragedy of his life his friends came and started speaking with poetry they were taking TS to talk to him no you must have seen then he will reply someone that just lost his children and so what you need to understand is that the Book of Job is what some theologians call a faction is a combination of fiction and history all right so a good example is one of the writings

1:36:45 of um Shakespeare I think it's called um Henry what Henry What Now give me a second I'm going to find it in a bit there's one of the writings of Shakespeare it was a real story but they exaggerated some aspects of it to make a point are you getting what I'm saying you have to understand that the writers of the Bible were literary Geniuses and they had the Liberty to do that it is proven first and foremost that the story of job did happen because of internal evidence job was quoted in several other aspects of the Bible and also external evidence in history and literature around the world the story of job is being told but the extent of it the

1:37:34 writer definitely exaggerated it to make a point are you getting what I'm saying so all those debts did all those debts happen to what extent we don't really know because there is some poetry and the Bible laws of Bible interpretation when you see poetry you be careful not to take everything who and sinker do you understand what I just said maybe at manifest Bible curse I'm going to delve deeper into that the second thing you need to realize and you can think of this well enough and it's a mistake a lot of people make the children of job were they adults or actual

1:38:20 children they were adults right qu did they know God for themselves did they know God for themselves now the Bible tells us in the book of job opening the book that the children of job they took turn day by day to throw parties are you aware so okay we will party in your house today tomorrow in our house next tomorrow in his house they were taking turns to throw party and listen for job to take initiative to make sacrifices on their behal have he knew that they had the propensity to curse God in their hearts isn't that so now will job be the only righteous man who somehow didn't do

1:39:05 great at parenting do you can you think of other examples in the Bible emphatically so this was a problem notice when God commanded commanded job he didn't mention his children it wouldn't have taken God anything to say he's he and all his house serve me that wasn't the case mind you it didn't mean that there were bad people but it didn't seem like they acknowledged God so so much not once are we told that they made sacrifices of their own or any such thing the reason I'm telling you this you know there are a lot of people who shamelessly expect their parents covering to be sufficient for them till date and shamelessly a full grown adult

1:39:53 to be say my mother prays for me who are you praying for when you were in secondary school my mother prays for me University my mother prays for me now you are married you have children of of your own my mother prays for who will pray for your own children listen to me this is a very important aspect of that story you never thought about and one that concerns you when it comes to your covering extending to others it cannot last too long there is something theologians call an age of accountability when a child comes to his own he has enough knowledge of God enough knowledge of the Holy you must know God for

1:40:44 yourself and it is on the strength of this legality that Satan could come to God and say I deserve the right to touch him it seems unfair his own covering covering his own his own family also the paranoia of job always making sacrifices proved and revealed he was self-righteous he felt that his faithfulness would be enough to word of evil forever are you listening to this based on what you know about Authority is faithfulness what gives you protection he thought his fa fulness was going to be enough and he was wrong and so when you read the story

1:41:30 carefully you will know that even if the devil was evil God knew he had a right he had a point even if they had different objectives to come out from the story The Devil just wanted to destroy job God knew Job had to learn please are you listening to this s sensive story but listen very carefully everyone under the sound of my voice make sure your children know God for themselves make sure make sure your covering can only go so far for adults and when he went through trials let me tell you something listen

1:42:16 carefully to what I'm about to say you know there's a way you will go about your devotion you will give the devil ideas because the incant sacrifice gave the devil an idea this man maybe he idolizes this possession so much this is where the devil got the idea if you touch this thing this one he will cause God because of the way he's always guarding it every day he will rise up he will let me tell you this don't give Satan [Music] ideas your fear is giving Satan ideas think about it the same language was used when he was offering sacrifices for his children what did he say in case

1:43:02 they have cursed God in their hearts when Satan came what did he say take away this Edge and he will curse you same language I am letting you know listen this is important oh let this heat endure but when you go don't forget what I'm saying listen I'm sweating we all sweating are say we all Hur we on fire for Jesus amen somebody but I promise you by next week I'll make sure this doesn't happen but listen to this self-righteousness makes you vulnerable vulnerable to attacks it is one of the ways to step

1:43:48 out of your covering and this is why it is important to teach Believers Authority in his proper balance that yes why praying Church you know I was talking to one of the fathers you know in the body of Christ and I was humbled by the fact that he said he watches us every day every day every day I was very humbled by that and then he said he was shocked about how we pray he said he tuned in I knew it was one of the sessions in reboot Camp he tuned in we were praying so he joined us you know and we went 30 minutes 1 Hour 2 hours 3 so he was wondering when when are they going to start praise and worship when are they going to start the word and he said he has scarcely he said I have been

1:44:34 preaching for decades I've not seen many churches that pray like you and so when I say what I'm about to say bear that in mind when it comes to Believers Authority it is first a positional issue please are you listening to me you pray but it is not your prayer that gives you Authority your prayer amplifies your Authority gives your Authority expression but it is not prayer that gives you Authority are you listening to me and for God's sake learn from the story of Job it is not your faithfulness that gives you Authority where is the source of pain don't forget we started from there the Fallen nature of the world and there is

1:45:19 a devil you must be aware if all of job's ranting it didn't occur to him maybe the devil is at fault it didn't even appear that he knew there was a devil he didn't even suspect he said God has given God has taken you can argue why God allowed the devil do it but it was not God and a lot of people still quote that text in be else for instances you should have taken Authority God has given God has taken don't let the devil cheat you are you listening to me yes

1:46:06 sir when it comes to Authority it is a firm understanding of who you are if you don't understand this you can pray a lot and not see a lot of results in terms of authority you can you can be faithful and not see a lot of results you must understand it is not about you just in case you didn't hear me when I taught on this last week listen very carefully for every new testament mystery or new testament truth there are Old Testament teachings in a shadow that prefigured what God was going to do come on are you with me and I I can give you several examples so to typy that Jesus

1:46:53 was going to die on the cross Moses lifted up come on a Brazen serpent everyone who looked up upon that Brazen serpent was healed and so Jesus comes on the scene and said as Moses lifted up the Brazen serpent so shall the son of man be lifted up right so that was a figure of Christ in a sense what is the Old Testament figure of the name of Jesus listen very carefully first and foremost you know that text we quoted when we when I was about to start it says the name of the Lord is a what strong what tower it's a place everybody say this the name of Jesus is a place the name of Jesus is a place so the name of the Lord is not just a magic phrase It's not like open

1:47:40 sesame a lot of people think um when I'm faced with a problem I just say this magic word Jesus you know we say things you know we we wrongly quote Philippians 2 At The Mention of the name the Bible did not say At The Mention there is no magic no intricate intricate value in the mere mention are there not people footballers who bear Jesus by name yes sir just imagine he's about to score and they said as he's about to score they say Jesus everybody falls under the power is that what happens in the stadium as the commentator say he's going with the ball he tries left Jesus everybody will just fall

1:48:28 what did the Sons of ska say Jesus I know they mentioned his name maybe he didn't da on you the demons who were speaking to the sons of ska they mentioned the name Jesus we know when you read your Bible you will know so is this they mentioned the name nothing happened I remember I I've told the story a million times I was cast out the demon in school he said he said I am not I'm not a small demon and he proved it in different ways but that's the story for another day he said me I can call Jesus Jesus I think you were there he said I

1:49:14 can call Jesus Jesus Jesus I know it's it's not a magic Mantra it's a place please are you getting what I'm saying or you can see this way it's a garment of influence baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit meaning in your own rights please stand up man of God there are things your personal influence and faithfulness cannot be quit to you in the realm of the spirit so God takes you and put you in his name and so you address those challenges as though it were Jesus are you listening to me see if you learn what I'm teaching

1:50:01 you it will change your life and what is the Old Testament parallel for this God bless you thank you very much the Bible tells us that the man Isaac had two children what were their names Bible students what were their names Esau and Jacob now the Bible tells us that Isaac preferred Esau for a funny reason very funny Petty
