  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
  • Joseph prince: the way god leads us
  • 00:00:13.056 --> 00:00:14.591
  • Many a times, okay, is through god's word.
  • 00:00:14.591 --> 00:00:17.127
  • That's the number one way, amen?
  • 00:00:17.127 --> 00:00:19.095
  • But the word comes in picture form, amen.
  • 00:00:19.095 --> 00:00:22.265
  • So, do expect to see visions and even dreams at night,
  • 00:00:22.265 --> 00:00:27.003
  • But in line with the word of god.
  • 00:00:27.003 --> 00:00:28.872
  • If god speaks it, if god shows it,
  • 00:00:28.872 --> 00:00:31.674
  • It will come to pass.
  • 00:00:31.674 --> 00:00:33.676
  • Sometimes it may seem to delay, but wait for it,
  • 00:00:33.676 --> 00:00:36.546
  • It will surely come to pass.
  • 00:00:36.546 --> 00:00:39.082
  • It will not tarry, amen.
  • 00:00:39.082 --> 00:00:41.384
  • Not everyone could prophesy in the old testament.
  • 00:00:41.384 --> 00:00:44.487
  • Only prophets, they are the ones
  • 00:00:44.487 --> 00:00:46.689
  • Who see visions, they are the one
  • 00:00:46.689 --> 00:00:48.291
  • Who dream dreams, and of course, prophet,
  • 00:00:48.291 --> 00:00:50.927
  • Priest, or king can qualify for that,
  • 00:00:50.927 --> 00:00:53.263
  • But most frequently it is in the ministry
  • 00:00:53.263 --> 00:00:54.898
  • Of the prophet in the old testament.
  • 00:00:54.898 --> 00:00:56.633
  • What was isolated for that ministry is
  • 00:00:56.633 --> 00:00:59.903
  • Now the property, the god-given inheritance,
  • 00:00:59.903 --> 00:01:03.606
  • For every child of god, amen?
  • 00:01:03.606 --> 00:01:05.575
  • If you're a believer, amen, if you are a christian,
  • 00:01:05.575 --> 00:01:08.278
  • That is your inheritance.
  • 00:01:08.278 --> 00:01:10.246
  • Male announcer: what if this is the moment god
  • 00:01:10.313 --> 00:01:11.948
  • Is using to reach you?
  • 00:01:11.948 --> 00:01:14.284
  • What if this is an invitation to live the life
  • 00:01:14.284 --> 00:01:16.186
  • God has called you to live?
  • 00:01:16.186 --> 00:01:18.454
  • In today's message, joseph unveils
  • 00:01:18.454 --> 00:01:20.557
  • Scriptural truths and divine secrets
  • 00:01:20.557 --> 00:01:22.692
  • On how to live the overcoming life.
  • 00:01:22.692 --> 00:01:25.361
  • Joseph prince: the bible says that in the last days,
  • 00:01:25.361 --> 00:01:27.363
  • God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh.
  • 00:01:27.363 --> 00:01:30.333
  • So we are looking forward for a worldwide revival,
  • 00:01:30.333 --> 00:01:32.569

  • 00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:12.041
  • Announcer: and now here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:12.108 --> 00:02:14.277
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:14.277 --> 00:02:15.912
  • Joseph prince: hazon is the hebrew word
  • 00:02:15.912 --> 00:02:18.281
  • For prophetic visions from god.
  • 00:02:18.281 --> 00:02:20.850
  • When god speaks to you in picture form,
  • 00:02:20.850 --> 00:02:24.954
  • That's the hazon vision and the difference
  • 00:02:24.954 --> 00:02:28.091
  • From the visions that are of the world
  • 00:02:28.091 --> 00:02:31.461
  • Or from the devil is that the results are all godlike.
  • 00:02:31.461 --> 00:02:36.032
  • If god speaks it, if god shows it,
  • 00:02:36.032 --> 00:02:38.801
  • It will come to pass, amen.
  • 00:02:38.801 --> 00:02:41.204
  • And usually when the devil gives a vision that--
  • 00:02:41.204 --> 00:02:44.073
  • I mean, the devil can also give a vision.
  • 00:02:44.073 --> 00:02:45.975
  • But usually the vision will be something catastrophic,
  • 00:02:45.975 --> 00:02:49.545
  • Something evil, and then it sort of devastates you.
  • 00:02:49.545 --> 00:02:53.416
  • It--you feel dejected, you feel forlorn
  • 00:02:53.416 --> 00:02:55.451
  • Just thinking about it, or you have a nightmare
  • 00:02:55.451 --> 00:02:57.553
  • Along these lines.
  • 00:02:57.553 --> 00:02:58.888
  • Just know when you wake up in the name of jesus,
  • 00:02:58.888 --> 00:03:01.124
  • Bind it, amen.
  • 00:03:01.124 --> 00:03:02.792
  • If something causes fear in your heart,
  • 00:03:02.792 --> 00:03:05.128
  • You have a nightmare about yourself
  • 00:03:05.128 --> 00:03:06.696
  • Or your family, you know, being in danger
  • 00:03:06.696 --> 00:03:09.432
  • Or something negative, just bind it
  • 00:03:09.432 --> 00:03:11.334
  • In the name of jesus when you wake up, amen.
  • 00:03:11.334 --> 00:03:13.970
  • Today i want to share with you how god speaks, amen,
  • 00:03:13.970 --> 00:03:17.040
  • The methodology.
  • 00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:18.374
  • Now that we've--we know that god wants to give us
  • 00:03:18.374 --> 00:03:20.710
  • This hazon vision for our lives.
  • 00:03:20.710 --> 00:03:23.179
  • Now for this hazon vision, it can involve
  • 00:03:23.179 --> 00:03:27.383
  • Different levels of hazon vision, amen,
  • 00:03:27.383 --> 00:03:30.753
  • Different stratas and facets of our life, amen.
  • 00:03:30.753 --> 00:03:34.057
  • Even for a ruler, amen, a king like nebuchadnezzar.
  • 00:03:34.057 --> 00:03:39.329
  • He had a dream from god.
  • 00:03:39.329 --> 00:03:40.730
  • He had a vision in the night of what is to be,
  • 00:03:40.730 --> 00:03:43.900
  • What is to happen, something god will reveal
  • 00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:46.169
  • To even an unbeliever, amen, unbelieving king, amen.
  • 00:03:46.169 --> 00:03:50.707
  • His ways, but it takes a believer to interpret, amen.
  • 00:03:50.707 --> 00:03:54.243
  • An unbeliever will not be able
  • 00:03:54.243 --> 00:03:56.879
  • To understand the symbols and what it all means,
  • 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.416
  • But someone filled with a god spirit
  • 00:04:00.416 --> 00:04:02.085
  • Will be able to say, amen.
  • 00:04:02.085 --> 00:04:03.753
  • Remember also, pharaoh in egypt, pharaoh had the same challenge,
  • 00:04:03.753 --> 00:04:08.491
  • You know, he had this dream, this recurring dream, amen.
  • 00:04:08.491 --> 00:04:12.261
  • And no one was able to interpret except joseph,
  • 00:04:12.261 --> 00:04:14.931
  • And he said this: "can we find such a one
  • 00:04:14.931 --> 00:04:17.100
  • In whom is the spirit of god?"
  • 00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:18.935
  • He can see god in joseph, so they can have dreams,
  • 00:04:18.935 --> 00:04:22.138
  • They can have a vision, but they're not able
  • 00:04:22.138 --> 00:04:23.606
  • To interpret.
  • 00:04:23.606 --> 00:04:24.941
  • That is in the realm of wisdom, wisdom that comes from god.
  • 00:04:24.941 --> 00:04:28.411
  • Now remember this, the apostle peter
  • 00:04:28.411 --> 00:04:31.013
  • On the day of pentecost, he stood up,
  • 00:04:31.013 --> 00:04:33.049
  • And remember this also, that this is
  • 00:04:33.049 --> 00:04:35.551
  • After jesus died and rose again.
  • 00:04:35.551 --> 00:04:38.221
  • He's died for our sins, amen.
  • 00:04:38.221 --> 00:04:40.323
  • He was crucified, and we were all crucified
  • 00:04:40.323 --> 00:04:42.558
  • With him, amen.
  • 00:04:42.558 --> 00:04:44.060
  • When he was buried, we were buried in him.
  • 00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:46.295
  • When he was raised, we are raised together
  • 00:04:46.295 --> 00:04:48.431
  • With him and made to sit together with him
  • 00:04:48.431 --> 00:04:51.267
  • In heavenly places in christ.
  • 00:04:51.267 --> 00:04:52.935
  • So now we are in the new covenant.
  • 00:04:52.935 --> 00:04:55.438
  • The new covenant has been inaugurated, amen.
  • 00:04:55.438 --> 00:04:58.775
  • So what i'm gonna share right now is the new covenant.
  • 00:04:58.775 --> 00:05:01.210
  • It's no more old covenant.
  • 00:05:01.210 --> 00:05:02.545
  • Some people say that, you know,
  • 00:05:02.545 --> 00:05:03.880
  • In the new covenant, god does not speak
  • 00:05:03.880 --> 00:05:05.248
  • With visions and dreams, or they will say that god can,
  • 00:05:05.248 --> 00:05:09.218
  • But that's not his normal way, okay?
  • 00:05:09.218 --> 00:05:11.587
  • So hence they discredit visions and dreams
  • 00:05:11.587 --> 00:05:14.857
  • And they cause people to like--they actually,
  • 00:05:14.857 --> 00:05:19.061
  • In effect, they nullify visions and dreams
  • 00:05:19.061 --> 00:05:22.298
  • In the lives of believers.
  • 00:05:22.298 --> 00:05:23.733
  • Believers don't esteem it, they don't expect it,
  • 00:05:23.733 --> 00:05:26.335
  • They don't want it to manifest for fear
  • 00:05:26.335 --> 00:05:30.273
  • That they might receive a vision from the devil.
  • 00:05:30.273 --> 00:05:32.742
  • So friend, we gotta be careful
  • 00:05:32.742 --> 00:05:34.577
  • That we don't fall for that, amen.
  • 00:05:34.577 --> 00:05:36.913
  • This is our rightful inheritance.
  • 00:05:36.913 --> 00:05:39.182
  • The way god leads us many a times, okay,
  • 00:05:39.182 --> 00:05:41.818
  • Is through god's word.
  • 00:05:41.818 --> 00:05:43.152
  • That's the number one way, amen?
  • 00:05:43.152 --> 00:05:45.221
  • And more times than ever, god speaks to me
  • 00:05:45.221 --> 00:05:48.057
  • From the word, but the word comes
  • 00:05:48.057 --> 00:05:50.226
  • In picture form, amen.
  • 00:05:50.226 --> 00:05:52.462
  • So, do expect to see visions and even dreams at night,
  • 00:05:52.462 --> 00:05:57.166
  • But in line with the word of god.
  • 00:05:57.166 --> 00:05:59.101
  • And for sure, we all know that if the devil
  • 00:05:59.101 --> 00:06:01.404
  • Gives a vision or a dream, it will never be in line
  • 00:06:01.404 --> 00:06:04.140
  • With the word of god.
  • 00:06:04.140 --> 00:06:05.508
  • But there are some dreams that god may give
  • 00:06:05.508 --> 00:06:08.744
  • That has elements of catastrophe
  • 00:06:08.744 --> 00:06:12.782
  • Or, you know, like, especially for those who are
  • 00:06:12.782 --> 00:06:14.851
  • On the--in the prophet's role of the calling of a prophet,
  • 00:06:14.851 --> 00:06:19.222
  • And there are still prophets in the new testament.
  • 00:06:19.222 --> 00:06:22.158
  • But usually it'll come with an answer like
  • 00:06:22.158 --> 00:06:24.994
  • When agabus the prophet stood up and he prophesied
  • 00:06:24.994 --> 00:06:27.797
  • There'll be a great famine, a great dearth coming
  • 00:06:27.797 --> 00:06:31.167
  • Throughout to all the world, and then the solution was
  • 00:06:31.167 --> 00:06:34.437
  • To get together and provide resources
  • 00:06:34.437 --> 00:06:36.873
  • For the poor saints, especially those saints
  • 00:06:36.873 --> 00:06:39.075
  • In jerusalem.
  • 00:06:39.075 --> 00:06:40.409
  • So that that comes in, something negative,
  • 00:06:40.409 --> 00:06:42.211
  • Yet god will always give something positive
  • 00:06:42.211 --> 00:06:44.647
  • For us to walk in, but the devil will just give you negative
  • 00:06:44.647 --> 00:06:46.782
  • After negativism, all right,
  • 00:06:46.782 --> 00:06:48.351
  • And just fearful images, fearful visions,
  • 00:06:48.351 --> 00:06:52.588
  • And he wants you to fear it because, like job says,
  • 00:06:52.588 --> 00:06:55.892
  • The thing which i greatly fear is come upon me.
  • 00:06:55.892 --> 00:06:58.060
  • So, god wants to give you a faith vision,
  • 00:06:58.060 --> 00:07:00.363
  • So whatever you believe for, according to your faith
  • 00:07:00.363 --> 00:07:03.032
  • Be it unto you, amen?
  • 00:07:03.032 --> 00:07:04.667
  • So yes, god's word, god's vision, can come
  • 00:07:04.667 --> 00:07:07.436
  • From the scriptures.
  • 00:07:07.436 --> 00:07:08.771
  • Now, what was particular, what was specific
  • 00:07:08.771 --> 00:07:13.943
  • And individual in the old testament?
  • 00:07:13.943 --> 00:07:16.646
  • In other words, not everyone could prophesy
  • 00:07:16.646 --> 00:07:18.915
  • In the old testament, amen.
  • 00:07:18.915 --> 00:07:21.817
  • Only prophets, they are the ones
  • 00:07:21.817 --> 00:07:24.020
  • Who see visions, they are the one
  • 00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:25.621
  • Who dream dreams, and of course, prophet,
  • 00:07:25.621 --> 00:07:28.257
  • Priest, or king can qualify for that,
  • 00:07:28.257 --> 00:07:30.560
  • But most frequently it is in the ministry
  • 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:32.194
  • Of the prophet in the old testament.
  • 00:07:32.194 --> 00:07:33.963
  • What was isolated for that ministry is
  • 00:07:33.963 --> 00:07:37.233
  • Now the property, the god-given inheritance,
  • 00:07:37.233 --> 00:07:40.937
  • For every child of god, amen?
  • 00:07:40.937 --> 00:07:42.905
  • If you're a believer, amen, if you are a christian,
  • 00:07:42.905 --> 00:07:45.608
  • That is your inheritance.
  • 00:07:45.608 --> 00:07:47.443
  • So that's not to say that all of us are prophets.
  • 00:07:47.443 --> 00:07:50.146
  • There are still new testament prophets,
  • 00:07:50.146 --> 00:07:52.114
  • Amen, one of the fivefold gifts that jesus gives
  • 00:07:52.114 --> 00:07:55.284
  • In the book of ephesians.
  • 00:07:55.284 --> 00:07:56.619
  • So let's go right now to see what else
  • 00:07:56.619 --> 00:07:58.421
  • That god has for us.
  • 00:07:58.421 --> 00:07:59.755
  • God says, "when i give you a vision,
  • 00:07:59.755 --> 00:08:02.325
  • Sometimes it may seem to delay, but wait for it.
  • 00:08:02.325 --> 00:08:05.227
  • It will surely come to pass.
  • 00:08:05.227 --> 00:08:07.697
  • It will not tarry," amen, praise the lord.
  • 00:08:07.697 --> 00:08:10.666
  • So we have to write down, so it's good for--
  • 00:08:10.666 --> 00:08:12.735
  • A good practice for you to take a notebook
  • 00:08:12.735 --> 00:08:14.837
  • Or some exercise book that you have and--
  • 00:08:14.837 --> 00:08:17.573
  • Or even your smartphone if you have a note page
  • 00:08:17.573 --> 00:08:19.642
  • That you want to use, all right, you can do that,
  • 00:08:19.642 --> 00:08:21.310
  • But it's a attitude of faith
  • 00:08:21.310 --> 00:08:22.678
  • When you come to god and you ask god,
  • 00:08:22.678 --> 00:08:25.047
  • And i pray that you've done that, okay?
  • 00:08:25.047 --> 00:08:26.782
  • Ask god, "how do you see my marriage?
  • 00:08:26.782 --> 00:08:29.185
  • How do you see my ministry, my career?
  • 00:08:29.185 --> 00:08:32.388
  • Lord, how do you see me? amen."
  • 00:08:32.388 --> 00:08:34.757
  • And then you write down.
  • 00:08:34.757 --> 00:08:36.225
  • Because you are seeing the visions come up
  • 00:08:36.225 --> 00:08:37.660
  • In your spirit.
  • 00:08:37.660 --> 00:08:38.995
  • Now, it might be just fleeting, gentle, you know, visions
  • 00:08:38.995 --> 00:08:41.697
  • That come up.
  • 00:08:41.697 --> 00:08:43.032
  • I wanna teach you how to see god's hazon vision.
  • 00:08:43.032 --> 00:08:46.268
  • When you ask god, get ready, amen?
  • 00:08:46.268 --> 00:08:48.804
  • If you ask god for something, remember this,
  • 00:08:48.804 --> 00:08:50.706
  • In james 1, it says, "if any of you lack wisdom
  • 00:08:50.706 --> 00:08:53.643
  • Or direction," or even a vision, amen?
  • 00:08:53.643 --> 00:08:56.078
  • All this is inherent in that word, "wisdom."
  • 00:08:56.078 --> 00:09:00.383
  • If you lack direction, you want god's wisdom,
  • 00:09:00.383 --> 00:09:02.218
  • What do you do?
  • 00:09:02.218 --> 00:09:03.552
  • Let him ask of god that gives to all men
  • 00:09:03.552 --> 00:09:06.188
  • Liberally and upbraideth not.
  • 00:09:06.188 --> 00:09:07.890
  • He does not scold you for it. he gives to you liberally.
  • 00:09:07.890 --> 00:09:10.393
  • "but let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.
  • 00:09:10.393 --> 00:09:14.630
  • For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea
  • 00:09:14.630 --> 00:09:16.632
  • Driven with the wind and tossed."
  • 00:09:16.632 --> 00:09:17.967
  • You see, the bible is full of pictures,
  • 00:09:17.967 --> 00:09:19.368
  • Giving you--the one that wavers is like a wave of the sea
  • 00:09:19.368 --> 00:09:21.604
  • Driven with the wind and tossed."
  • 00:09:21.604 --> 00:09:23.139
  • Don't be like that man, amen?
  • 00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:24.840
  • "a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways."
  • 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.043
  • So when you ask, ask in faith, amen?
  • 00:09:27.043 --> 00:09:29.745
  • Bring out your notebook and ask the lord,
  • 00:09:29.745 --> 00:09:31.814
  • "how do you see this situation?"
  • 00:09:31.814 --> 00:09:33.783
  • If you have a problematic situation
  • 00:09:33.783 --> 00:09:35.818
  • That you want god's answer on, ask god to speak to you.
  • 00:09:35.818 --> 00:09:39.221
  • Now, if the vision doesn't come then and there, many a times
  • 00:09:39.221 --> 00:09:41.757
  • I find when you have a pen ready and your book in front of you
  • 00:09:41.757 --> 00:09:45.094
  • And you write, you journal, as god begins to speak to you--
  • 00:09:45.094 --> 00:09:47.830
  • Now listen, in the occult world,
  • 00:09:47.830 --> 00:09:50.099
  • In the new age, they also have this,
  • 00:09:50.099 --> 00:09:52.201
  • What they call automatic journaling.
  • 00:09:52.201 --> 00:09:54.503
  • Don't do that.
  • 00:09:54.503 --> 00:09:55.838
  • What they do is that they make their mind passive,
  • 00:09:55.838 --> 00:09:58.007
  • Their will passive, they open up a exercise book,
  • 00:09:58.007 --> 00:10:00.476
  • You see, the devil always copies god's method,
  • 00:10:00.476 --> 00:10:02.745
  • Except for this.
  • 00:10:02.745 --> 00:10:04.080
  • God never overrides your choice.
  • 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.283
  • God wants to cooperate with you, amen.
  • 00:10:07.283 --> 00:10:09.618
  • He doesn't make you, like, passive
  • 00:10:09.618 --> 00:10:11.253
  • And then he takes you over.
  • 00:10:11.253 --> 00:10:12.822
  • That's what the devil does.
  • 00:10:12.822 --> 00:10:14.256
  • God says, you know, even speaking in tongues, amen.
  • 00:10:14.256 --> 00:10:16.726
  • We have to speak as the spirit gave us utterance.
  • 00:10:16.726 --> 00:10:19.895
  • If we don't speak, nothing will happen.
  • 00:10:19.895 --> 00:10:21.797
  • So god always works with man's will, amen,
  • 00:10:21.797 --> 00:10:24.934
  • Man's cooperation, hallelujah.
  • 00:10:24.934 --> 00:10:26.869
  • We are co-laborers with god.
  • 00:10:26.869 --> 00:10:28.304
  • In the new testament, listen,
  • 00:10:28.304 --> 00:10:29.638
  • It is not like the old testament.
  • 00:10:29.638 --> 00:10:31.340
  • The old testament, they prophesy usually
  • 00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:33.709
  • Many a times, especially before nebuchadnezzar
  • 00:10:33.709 --> 00:10:37.113
  • And babylon came to take over, you know, to invade jerusalem
  • 00:10:37.113 --> 00:10:41.117
  • And the land of judah.
  • 00:10:41.117 --> 00:10:42.852
  • Notice that a lot of the visions
  • 00:10:42.852 --> 00:10:44.220
  • That he saw were visions of national crisis
  • 00:10:44.220 --> 00:10:48.524
  • And war and bloodshed, okay?
  • 00:10:48.524 --> 00:10:52.294
  • Now, would that be true today? listen carefully.
  • 00:10:52.294 --> 00:10:54.797
  • Unless you are a prophet and called to write
  • 00:10:54.797 --> 00:10:57.199
  • The book of revelation, but even then
  • 00:10:57.199 --> 00:10:59.135
  • The book of revelation is the revelation
  • 00:10:59.135 --> 00:11:00.469
  • Of jesus christ.
  • 00:11:00.469 --> 00:11:01.804
  • But unless you are called to be a ministry of prophet,
  • 00:11:01.804 --> 00:11:03.706
  • Don't deal with world events, amen?
  • 00:11:03.706 --> 00:11:05.875
  • You're not called to things that are higher and above,
  • 00:11:05.875 --> 00:11:08.711
  • Amen, your pay grade, amen.
  • 00:11:08.711 --> 00:11:11.313
  • There are prophets who prophesy about world events
  • 00:11:11.313 --> 00:11:13.382
  • And all that.
  • 00:11:13.382 --> 00:11:14.717
  • Those who try to attempt to do that
  • 00:11:14.717 --> 00:11:16.218
  • Without the anointing, they fall flat on their face
  • 00:11:16.218 --> 00:11:18.921
  • And everyone can see that, you know,
  • 00:11:18.921 --> 00:11:21.056
  • It didn't come to pass.
  • 00:11:21.056 --> 00:11:22.391
  • So don't overstep your boundary.
  • 00:11:22.391 --> 00:11:24.960
  • The simple things that god speaks to us today,
  • 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.029
  • Like i said, what was isolated for the ministry of the prophet
  • 00:11:27.029 --> 00:11:30.499
  • In the old testament is now for all of us
  • 00:11:30.499 --> 00:11:32.268
  • To enjoy, but enjoy within the confines
  • 00:11:32.268 --> 00:11:35.838
  • Of our life, our ministry, amen, our area
  • 00:11:35.838 --> 00:11:40.843
  • Of responsibilities and assignment, amen.
  • 00:11:40.843 --> 00:11:43.646
  • That's where god will speak to you, amen?
  • 00:11:43.646 --> 00:11:45.915
  • So get ready and ask the lord
  • 00:11:45.915 --> 00:11:47.249
  • And watch to see that floating image
  • 00:11:47.249 --> 00:11:48.984
  • On the inside, but you say, "pastor prince,
  • 00:11:48.984 --> 00:11:50.419
  • I expect an angel to appear in a hazon vision, amen.
  • 00:11:50.419 --> 00:11:54.323
  • I expect the lord to appear before me."
  • 00:11:54.323 --> 00:11:56.859
  • Now, this is not the norm.
  • 00:11:56.859 --> 00:11:58.527
  • For some reason, people always feel like,
  • 00:11:58.527 --> 00:12:00.863
  • You know, a vision means someone appears
  • 00:12:00.863 --> 00:12:04.466
  • Before you, either an angel or the lord himself,
  • 00:12:04.466 --> 00:12:07.770
  • And then if someone is in the room,
  • 00:12:07.770 --> 00:12:09.505
  • They also see the same thing that you see.
  • 00:12:09.505 --> 00:12:11.006
  • It's not true.
  • 00:12:11.006 --> 00:12:12.341
  • Many a times, even when saul
  • 00:12:12.341 --> 00:12:13.676
  • On the road to damascus, he had a vision.
  • 00:12:13.676 --> 00:12:15.411
  • The bible says the people around him
  • 00:12:15.411 --> 00:12:18.214
  • Did not see it, amen.
  • 00:12:18.214 --> 00:12:20.182
  • They did not see the same lord speaking.
  • 00:12:20.182 --> 00:12:23.285
  • They heard words, but they did not see
  • 00:12:23.285 --> 00:12:25.287
  • The lord, amen.
  • 00:12:25.287 --> 00:12:26.822
  • Same thing for ezekiel.
  • 00:12:26.822 --> 00:12:28.157
  • Ezekiel says he received a vision,
  • 00:12:28.157 --> 00:12:29.658
  • But the people around him did not receive the vision.
  • 00:12:29.658 --> 00:12:32.328
  • But we have this idea, if the lord appears,
  • 00:12:32.328 --> 00:12:34.163
  • Everybody will see.
  • 00:12:34.163 --> 00:12:35.497
  • Everybody in the same room will see the lord,
  • 00:12:35.497 --> 00:12:37.833
  • And it's not true.
  • 00:12:37.833 --> 00:12:39.168
  • We have ideas about all this which is sensational
  • 00:12:39.168 --> 00:12:41.904
  • And spectacular, which is not the scriptures.
  • 00:12:41.904 --> 00:12:44.240
  • God's way, listen, my friend, is that his voice
  • 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.209
  • Is not in the earthquake, nor in the thunder,
  • 00:12:47.209 --> 00:12:49.945
  • It's in the still small voice and that floating vision
  • 00:12:49.945 --> 00:12:53.315
  • That comes up as you prepare
  • 00:12:53.315 --> 00:12:55.150
  • And ask the lord, and as i was sharing
  • 00:12:55.150 --> 00:12:57.386
  • With my music ministry people, that be ready for new songs.
  • 00:12:57.386 --> 00:13:02.324
  • And where does song come from? from within, because why?
  • 00:13:02.324 --> 00:13:05.160
  • God has taken his dwelling in you.
  • 00:13:05.160 --> 00:13:06.996
  • "i will walk in them. i will dwell in them," amen.
  • 00:13:06.996 --> 00:13:10.199
  • You are the temple of god himself,
  • 00:13:10.199 --> 00:13:12.668
  • The temple of the holy spirit.
  • 00:13:12.668 --> 00:13:15.004
  • A living, breathing temple of god, going somewhere
  • 00:13:15.004 --> 00:13:18.207
  • To be a blessing to, hallelujah, amen?
  • 00:13:18.207 --> 00:13:21.110
  • God dwells in you, no more outside you.
  • 00:13:21.110 --> 00:13:24.113
  • In fact, if it's outside you,
  • 00:13:24.113 --> 00:13:26.882
  • You can rest be assured that if it's fearful images
  • 00:13:26.882 --> 00:13:31.520
  • And all that, it's not from god, amen?
  • 00:13:31.520 --> 00:13:33.689
  • That peace on the inside that the devil
  • 00:13:33.689 --> 00:13:36.258
  • Cannot imitate, amen?
  • 00:13:36.258 --> 00:13:37.593
  • It's from inside, and that's why you
  • 00:13:37.593 --> 00:13:39.128
  • Must keep this verse in your heart, always,
  • 00:13:39.128 --> 00:13:41.463
  • All right?
  • 00:13:41.463 --> 00:13:42.798
  • The new testament kind of prophecy
  • 00:13:42.798 --> 00:13:45.267
  • Or vision is like this.
  • 00:13:45.267 --> 00:13:47.036
  • 1 corinthians 14, verse 3 tells us:
  • 00:13:47.036 --> 00:13:49.805
  • "but he who prophesies," now, how did he prophesy?
  • 00:13:49.805 --> 00:13:53.175
  • In what form?
  • 00:13:53.175 --> 00:13:54.510
  • Usually in visions, in picture form,
  • 00:13:54.510 --> 00:13:57.112
  • Not just in words, the words are describing a picture.
  • 00:13:57.112 --> 00:14:00.816
  • "he who prophesies," prophesy is inspired,
  • 00:14:00.816 --> 00:14:04.119
  • Spirit-inspired words.
  • 00:14:04.119 --> 00:14:07.589
  • "he who prophesies speaks," now watch this,
  • 00:14:07.589 --> 00:14:09.658
  • "edification," look at this, "exhortation
  • 00:14:09.658 --> 00:14:12.895
  • And comfort to men."
  • 00:14:12.895 --> 00:14:14.363
  • It's always edifying, it always builds up,
  • 00:14:14.363 --> 00:14:16.966
  • It always exhorts and administers comfort.
  • 00:14:16.966 --> 00:14:20.903
  • So when you receive a vision or a dream, amen,
  • 00:14:20.903 --> 00:14:24.707
  • Or when you ask god to speak to you and you wait as you,
  • 00:14:24.707 --> 00:14:28.243
  • You know, wait for the lord to speak, remember this,
  • 00:14:28.243 --> 00:14:30.279
  • When you ask in faith--
  • 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.348
  • And many a times you'll find a fleeting, you know,
  • 00:14:32.348 --> 00:14:35.017
  • Image comes, do not doubt, just write down, amen,
  • 00:14:35.017 --> 00:14:38.687
  • What you see.
  • 00:14:38.687 --> 00:14:40.022
  • In fact, when you write down, you have a chance
  • 00:14:40.022 --> 00:14:41.423
  • Later on to look at it, to see
  • 00:14:41.423 --> 00:14:43.525
  • Whether it's scriptural, it's in line with god's word,
  • 00:14:43.525 --> 00:14:45.894
  • Or not, amen.
  • 00:14:45.894 --> 00:14:47.229
  • That's one of the greatest benefits
  • 00:14:47.229 --> 00:14:49.031
  • Of writing down what god shows you,
  • 00:14:49.031 --> 00:14:51.834
  • But you must always be under new covenant,
  • 00:14:51.834 --> 00:14:53.202
  • Must be what?
  • 00:14:53.202 --> 00:14:54.536
  • Unto edification, unto exhortation, amen,
  • 00:14:54.536 --> 00:14:58.974
  • And comfort, amen.
  • 00:14:58.974 --> 00:15:01.744
  • It must always produce that result.
  • 00:15:01.744 --> 00:15:03.979
  • Now some people will dispute, "well, pastor prince,
  • 00:15:03.979 --> 00:15:05.714
  • You say that," you know, they still believe
  • 00:15:05.714 --> 00:15:07.716
  • That a vision will always come like, you know,
  • 00:15:07.716 --> 00:15:09.952
  • Open vision we call it, like a being come before you
  • 00:15:09.952 --> 00:15:12.721
  • From god, an angel, usually,
  • 00:15:12.721 --> 00:15:14.857
  • And he'll bring a message from god and then you look
  • 00:15:14.857 --> 00:15:17.292
  • At him and if anyone is in the room,
  • 00:15:17.292 --> 00:15:18.794
  • They'll see him also.
  • 00:15:18.794 --> 00:15:20.262
  • Now, listen, i'm gonna show you a prophet called daniel.
  • 00:15:20.262 --> 00:15:23.665
  • Daniel received from god so many visions and dreams.
  • 00:15:23.665 --> 00:15:26.301
  • In fact, the bible says in daniel 1, verse 17,
  • 00:15:26.301 --> 00:15:29.438
  • It says: "as for these four young men,"
  • 00:15:29.438 --> 00:15:31.774
  • Daniel's friends and daniel, "god gave them knowledge
  • 00:15:31.774 --> 00:15:35.644
  • And skill in all literature and wisdom."
  • 00:15:35.644 --> 00:15:39.548
  • You can pray that for your children.
  • 00:15:39.548 --> 00:15:41.383
  • I prayed that for jessica for many years.
  • 00:15:41.383 --> 00:15:44.753
  • When she started school and all that,
  • 00:15:44.753 --> 00:15:46.622
  • I started claiming this for her.
  • 00:15:46.622 --> 00:15:47.956
  • God gives her knowledge.
  • 00:15:47.956 --> 00:15:49.391
  • Notice that god gave them.
  • 00:15:49.391 --> 00:15:51.894
  • If we can acquire knowledge and skill
  • 00:15:51.894 --> 00:15:54.196
  • Just by studying all literature, right, it will not suffice
  • 00:15:54.196 --> 00:15:58.233
  • Because this is something that god gave them, amen.
  • 00:15:58.233 --> 00:16:01.336
  • What we have is knowledge, all right,
  • 00:16:01.336 --> 00:16:03.739
  • Just natural knowledge.
  • 00:16:03.739 --> 00:16:05.074
  • What we have is understanding, just natural understanding,
  • 00:16:05.074 --> 00:16:07.743
  • But what god gave them was knowledge and skill
  • 00:16:07.743 --> 00:16:09.812
  • That is from the lord, amen,
  • 00:16:09.812 --> 00:16:11.880
  • "in all literature and wisdom; and daniel
  • 00:16:11.880 --> 00:16:14.650
  • Had understanding," watch this now,
  • 00:16:14.650 --> 00:16:16.718
  • "in all visions and dreams."
  • 00:16:16.718 --> 00:16:18.954
  • And he was a young boy, probably a teenager
  • 00:16:18.954 --> 00:16:20.722
  • At this time, and daniel had understanding
  • 00:16:20.722 --> 00:16:23.625
  • In all visions and dreams.
  • 00:16:23.625 --> 00:16:26.995
  • Now, daniel was a prophet, you know, he saw
  • 00:16:26.995 --> 00:16:30.099
  • The angel gabriel, amen, bring the message of the 70th,
  • 00:16:30.099 --> 00:16:34.303
  • Very famous vision in the bible called the 70 weeks of daniel,
  • 00:16:34.303 --> 00:16:39.007
  • Prophetic weeks.
  • 00:16:39.007 --> 00:16:40.342
  • We are still in the midst of that 70 prophetic weeks
  • 00:16:40.342 --> 00:16:44.113
  • Of daniel, and then daniel had a vision from god
  • 00:16:44.113 --> 00:16:48.484
  • When king nebuchadnezzar had a dream from god
  • 00:16:48.484 --> 00:16:52.721
  • That he was not able to interpret.
  • 00:16:52.721 --> 00:16:54.923
  • And then he tried to get all his wise men
  • 00:16:54.923 --> 00:16:56.558
  • To interpret, and they could not interpret,
  • 00:16:56.558 --> 00:16:58.127
  • And they said to him, "why don't you
  • 00:16:58.127 --> 00:16:59.461
  • Tell us the dream?
  • 00:16:59.461 --> 00:17:00.796
  • O king, tell us the dream and then we'll tell you
  • 00:17:00.796 --> 00:17:02.264
  • The interpretation."
  • 00:17:02.264 --> 00:17:03.599
  • He said, "ha, ha, ha, ha, you know, you're pretty smart.
  • 00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:05.067
  • You want me to tell you the dream?
  • 00:17:05.067 --> 00:17:06.401
  • You can say whatever you want to say
  • 00:17:06.401 --> 00:17:07.736
  • In the interpretation.
  • 00:17:07.736 --> 00:17:09.071
  • No, you tell me the interpretation, all right?
  • 00:17:09.071 --> 00:17:11.206
  • Then i will know that you are hearing from god."
  • 00:17:11.206 --> 00:17:13.542
  • No one could do that.
  • 00:17:13.542 --> 00:17:14.877
  • And the bible tells us that daniel,
  • 00:17:14.877 --> 00:17:18.447
  • These four men, young boys, actually, they
  • 00:17:18.447 --> 00:17:20.482
  • Were actually probably teenagers at this time.
  • 00:17:20.482 --> 00:17:22.584
  • And they actually asked god because they are
  • 00:17:22.584 --> 00:17:24.153
  • Part of the wise men, amen.
  • 00:17:24.153 --> 00:17:26.488
  • They were brought in from israel
  • 00:17:26.488 --> 00:17:27.823
  • To be part of the wise men in the court
  • 00:17:27.823 --> 00:17:29.625
  • Of nebuchadnezzar, and they prayed to god
  • 00:17:29.625 --> 00:17:32.628
  • And asked god for wisdom, for mercies, the bible says,
  • 00:17:32.628 --> 00:17:35.764
  • And the secret was revealed to daniel in a night vision.
  • 00:17:35.764 --> 00:17:40.068
  • And daniel went to the king and daniel gave the king
  • 00:17:40.068 --> 00:17:43.005
  • The dream that he saw
  • 00:17:43.005 --> 00:17:45.407
  • And the interpretation thereof, amen?
  • 00:17:45.407 --> 00:17:48.477
  • And the king knew that this is from god,
  • 00:17:48.477 --> 00:17:50.112
  • And he promoted daniel.
  • 00:17:50.112 --> 00:17:51.713
  • But how did daniel see visions?
  • 00:17:51.713 --> 00:17:53.048
  • Would you like to see how daniel sees visions?
  • 00:17:53.048 --> 00:17:54.516
  • It's not all the time like it's open vision.
  • 00:17:54.516 --> 00:17:56.718
  • Yes, there is an open vision where the angel appears
  • 00:17:56.718 --> 00:17:58.854
  • Before you.
  • 00:17:58.854 --> 00:18:00.189
  • I've not had too many of that, amen.
  • 00:18:00.189 --> 00:18:02.224
  • I had a vision of an angel with my eyes open one time,
  • 00:18:02.224 --> 00:18:05.627
  • Many years ago, and then i've had many,
  • 00:18:05.627 --> 00:18:09.164
  • Many, many visions on the inside that came to pass,
  • 00:18:09.164 --> 00:18:12.434
  • Amen.
  • 00:18:12.434 --> 00:18:13.769
  • So look at daniel and how he sees visions, okay?
  • 00:18:13.769 --> 00:18:18.607
  • The bible says: "in the first year
  • 00:18:18.607 --> 00:18:19.942
  • Of belshazzar king of babylon,
  • 00:18:19.942 --> 00:18:22.477
  • Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head
  • 00:18:22.477 --> 00:18:26.415
  • As he lay in his bed."
  • 00:18:26.415 --> 00:18:28.483
  • Wow, that's not very spiritual.
  • 00:18:28.483 --> 00:18:31.153
  • You are lying down there in your bed and you
  • 00:18:31.153 --> 00:18:32.988
  • Are getting visions from god?
  • 00:18:32.988 --> 00:18:35.824
  • "then he wrote down the dream." there, the writing down again.
  • 00:18:35.824 --> 00:18:39.261
  • "then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter."
  • 00:18:39.261 --> 00:18:43.165
  • Now once again, daniel saw a dream
  • 00:18:43.165 --> 00:18:45.133
  • And visions of his-- where was it?
  • 00:18:45.133 --> 00:18:47.869
  • In his head as he lay in his bed.
  • 00:18:47.869 --> 00:18:52.641
  • So as he's lying down there, visions keep coming up
  • 00:18:52.641 --> 00:18:56.211
  • To him, all right, visions and dreams,
  • 00:18:56.211 --> 00:18:58.380
  • And he knew it's from god, amen.
  • 00:18:58.380 --> 00:19:02.050
  • And he took a, you know, back then,
  • 00:19:02.050 --> 00:19:05.087
  • Probably a stylus that he used to write down
  • 00:19:05.087 --> 00:19:08.123
  • On the papyrus what he saw,
  • 00:19:08.123 --> 00:19:10.792
  • But it came to him as he was lying in bed,
  • 00:19:10.792 --> 00:19:13.729
  • A most unspiritual moment.
  • 00:19:13.729 --> 00:19:16.765
  • But many a time that's how god speaks.
  • 00:19:16.765 --> 00:19:18.533
  • In fact, if you look carefully at how daniel interpreted the--
  • 00:19:18.533 --> 00:19:23.238
  • King nebuchadnezzar's dream, he said, "king,
  • 00:19:23.238 --> 00:19:27.042
  • These thoughts came to your mind.
  • 00:19:27.042 --> 00:19:29.344
  • You had a dream and a vision that came
  • 00:19:29.344 --> 00:19:31.847
  • To you while you were lying on your bed."
  • 00:19:31.847 --> 00:19:33.315
  • So even the king was lying on his bed when he
  • 00:19:33.315 --> 00:19:35.150
  • Received the dream and vision from god.
  • 00:19:35.150 --> 00:19:37.452
  • And then he said this: "as these thoughts
  • 00:19:37.452 --> 00:19:39.354
  • Come to your mind," and that's when
  • 00:19:39.354 --> 00:19:41.189
  • Daniel interpreted the, you know,
  • 00:19:41.189 --> 00:19:43.091
  • The huge statue that proclaimed
  • 00:19:43.091 --> 00:19:46.461
  • The entire gentile-- the times of the gentiles.
  • 00:19:46.461 --> 00:19:50.899
  • We are still in that time.
  • 00:19:50.899 --> 00:19:52.301
  • It's a very interesting study, and one of these days
  • 00:19:52.301 --> 00:19:54.503
  • I think i'm gonna teach on that
  • 00:19:54.503 --> 00:19:55.837
  • Because we are definitely seeing the--
  • 00:19:55.837 --> 00:19:57.806
  • Coming to the end of it, the legs of that statue.
  • 00:19:57.806 --> 00:20:01.009
  • Now, that's what he interpreted to king nebuchadnezzar.
  • 00:20:01.009 --> 00:20:06.515
  • And king nebuchadnezzar knew that this is
  • 00:20:06.515 --> 00:20:09.017
  • From god, amen?
  • 00:20:09.017 --> 00:20:10.919
  • Now, how does god speak?
  • 00:20:10.919 --> 00:20:12.254
  • Many a times, what did god say to aaron
  • 00:20:12.254 --> 00:20:15.424
  • And miriam when they actually sort of, like,
  • 00:20:15.424 --> 00:20:18.660
  • Disdained moses at one time, especially miriam at that time.
  • 00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:22.531
  • Because he had married a woman at that time,
  • 00:20:22.531 --> 00:20:25.300
  • And she wasn't happy, and she's complained,
  • 00:20:25.300 --> 00:20:28.370
  • And god appeared, and god said this.
  • 00:20:28.370 --> 00:20:30.772
  • "hear now my words: if there is a prophet
  • 00:20:30.772 --> 00:20:33.508
  • Among you, i, the lord, make myself known to him
  • 00:20:33.508 --> 00:20:37.112
  • In a," what?
  • 00:20:37.112 --> 00:20:38.447
  • "in a vision; i speak to him in a dream."
  • 00:20:38.447 --> 00:20:41.750
  • You see, god does not think that visions and dreams
  • 00:20:41.750 --> 00:20:45.587
  • From him is something for us to dis-esteem, amen,
  • 00:20:45.587 --> 00:20:48.757
  • To discredit.
  • 00:20:48.757 --> 00:20:50.359
  • No, god wants us to know.
  • 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:51.993
  • In fact, he emphatically tells us,
  • 00:20:51.993 --> 00:20:54.663
  • Amen, "if i'm speaking to a prophet,
  • 00:20:54.663 --> 00:20:56.998
  • It will be in visions and dream.
  • 00:20:56.998 --> 00:20:59.768
  • I'll communicate to him in vision and dream."
  • 00:20:59.768 --> 00:21:02.204
  • So now, what was isolated for that particular office
  • 00:21:02.204 --> 00:21:07.442
  • Is now our god-given inheritance, amen?
  • 00:21:07.442 --> 00:21:10.479
  • We can experience visions and dreams, amen.
  • 00:21:10.479 --> 00:21:13.515
  • Amen, daily, amen?
  • 00:21:13.515 --> 00:21:15.517
  • Daily even, yes, you'll be alert
  • 00:21:15.517 --> 00:21:17.586
  • When you pray for someone, pray and listen
  • 00:21:17.586 --> 00:21:20.889
  • To what god is saying.
  • 00:21:20.889 --> 00:21:22.224
  • When i say listen, it's not always a voice.
  • 00:21:22.224 --> 00:21:24.292
  • Yes, god can speak, amen.
  • 00:21:24.292 --> 00:21:25.827
  • Like peter, you know, when he was on the rooftop,
  • 00:21:25.827 --> 00:21:27.896
  • He heard the voice saying-- after he saw the vision,
  • 00:21:27.896 --> 00:21:30.399
  • And the voice says, "behold, three men seek after you.
  • 00:21:30.399 --> 00:21:33.702
  • Go down, doubting nothing, go with them, doubting nothing."
  • 00:21:33.702 --> 00:21:37.105
  • So, god can speak, yes, but many a times
  • 00:21:37.105 --> 00:21:39.674
  • His words come in a vision.
  • 00:21:39.674 --> 00:21:41.309
  • You're praying for someone and then you have
  • 00:21:41.309 --> 00:21:42.778
  • A vision, amen?
  • 00:21:42.778 --> 00:21:44.112
  • Speak it out, speak it out over the person.
  • 00:21:44.112 --> 00:21:45.981
  • Remember, all right, don't crush the person
  • 00:21:45.981 --> 00:21:48.116
  • By saying, "i see you having a disease
  • 00:21:48.116 --> 00:21:49.885
  • Come on your life, and then it's gonna
  • 00:21:49.885 --> 00:21:52.154
  • Cause you to be so discouraged," and you end there, amen?
  • 00:21:52.154 --> 00:21:55.157
  • I remember when i was having some oppression
  • 00:21:55.157 --> 00:21:59.027
  • Many years ago as a student and i went
  • 00:21:59.027 --> 00:22:01.430
  • To someone whom i esteem as someone
  • 00:22:01.430 --> 00:22:03.198
  • Who is spirit-filled, amen, a man of god,
  • 00:22:03.198 --> 00:22:06.001
  • And he prayed with me like this.
  • 00:22:06.001 --> 00:22:07.335
  • He says, "oh, the darkness, the darkness,"
  • 00:22:07.335 --> 00:22:09.137
  • As he laid his hand on my head, "the darkness.
  • 00:22:09.137 --> 00:22:11.373
  • I see a lot of darkness, and it's oppressing you."
  • 00:22:11.373 --> 00:22:14.042
  • "that's why i want you to pray for me, amen."
  • 00:22:14.042 --> 00:22:16.278
  • At that time, i was being oppressed
  • 00:22:16.278 --> 00:22:17.779
  • By the enemy because of the call
  • 00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:19.381
  • That i had in my life, but i didn't know
  • 00:22:19.381 --> 00:22:20.949
  • About the call, amen?
  • 00:22:20.949 --> 00:22:22.651
  • But, you know, he was praying
  • 00:22:22.651 --> 00:22:24.753
  • And then he was actually saying things like,
  • 00:22:24.753 --> 00:22:27.155
  • "it was so dark, it is very dark."
  • 00:22:27.155 --> 00:22:28.590
  • It was in a bookshop, i still remember,
  • 00:22:28.590 --> 00:22:30.192
  • And he said, "it is so heavy on you,"
  • 00:22:30.192 --> 00:22:33.795
  • And right after that, i still remember,
  • 00:22:33.795 --> 00:22:36.064
  • He stood up and he walked out.
  • 00:22:36.064 --> 00:22:38.900
  • Left me hanging, amen.
  • 00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:41.636
  • No, that's not a vision from god.
  • 00:22:41.636 --> 00:22:44.239
  • Then later on, a man called paul cain
  • 00:22:44.239 --> 00:22:46.708
  • In the indoor stadium, you know, called me out
  • 00:22:46.708 --> 00:22:49.911
  • And just prophesied right in my meal, amen.
  • 00:22:49.911 --> 00:22:52.914
  • In fact, one of the lines that he mentioned
  • 00:22:52.914 --> 00:22:55.283
  • More than once is, "i will come to visions.
  • 00:22:55.283 --> 00:22:58.053
  • I will come to visions."
  • 00:22:58.053 --> 00:22:59.387
  • I never realized it's gonna be a fulfillment
  • 00:22:59.387 --> 00:23:01.823
  • This year of that vision that all of us will walk in,
  • 00:23:01.823 --> 00:23:05.160
  • Amen?
  • 00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:06.495
  • Amen, so the lord is calling all of us,
  • 00:23:06.495 --> 00:23:08.497
  • Not just one pastor or a group of pastors
  • 00:23:08.497 --> 00:23:11.199
  • Or leaders to walk in it, or just the prophets,
  • 00:23:11.199 --> 00:23:14.102
  • But all of us, your sons and your daughters,
  • 00:23:14.102 --> 00:23:17.606

  • And, you know, i really liked it.
  • 00:25:09.484 --> 00:25:12.621
  • For me it was so hard because i didn't want to let it go.
  • 00:25:12.621 --> 00:25:16.625
  • Sitting under pastor's teaching so much,
  • 00:25:16.625 --> 00:25:18.994

  • For my particular situation.
  • 00:25:21.663 --> 00:25:23.965
  • So, he led me to "the battle is the lord's."
  • 00:25:23.965 --> 00:25:29.137
  • I listened to that for probably about two weeks.
  • 00:25:29.137 --> 00:25:32.841
  • That was the only thing i was listening to,
  • 00:25:32.841 --> 00:25:34.542
  • And then i started memorizing some of the scriptures.
  • 00:25:34.542 --> 00:25:38.446
  • I knew there's no success without that just coming up
  • 00:25:38.446 --> 00:25:42.384
  • Inside of me.
  • 00:25:42.384 --> 00:25:43.718

  • That new man does not want to smoke.
  • 00:25:49.157 --> 00:25:51.359
  • Now, after this, did i still have
  • 00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:53.762
  • The habit of, like, doing that because it was
  • 00:25:53.762 --> 00:25:56.865
  • Like a regular ritual?
  • 00:25:56.865 --> 00:25:58.199
  • Yes, but every time i remembered, "that's not me.
  • 00:25:58.199 --> 00:26:02.570
  • I'm created in true righteousness
  • 00:26:02.570 --> 00:26:04.139
