Speaker 1

Allelujah.

Father.

We are committed to following you as you lead us.

You have led us thus far, and you've only led us to parts of life, parts of glory, parts of beauty, and parts of power you have built trust in our hearts for you, we trust you for the journey I had.

We may not know everything that lies in the future, but our confidence is in the integrity of the shepherd, for when you lead, you only guide to parts of righteousness.

Tonight I pray, O God, in the name of Jesus, that will make renewed commitments to submit our wills.

Our intellect are everything that we submit it willingly to your wisdom, to your leadership, knowing that you are that true shepherd that guides, that leads, that protects, that feeds, that preserves.

Until we become the full expression of your will.

We have come tonight to receive, to be guided, to be led, to be fed, to be equipped.

We submit to the wisdom of your spirit tonight, and we ask like never before, that you will breathe upon us tonight, move upon us tonight.

Let the entrance of your world give light that it provides understanding even to the simple.

We vow as always that you will be glorified in our midst for seeing Jesus' name, we have prayed.

Give Jesus a big hand class, big hand class.

Alleluyah, you may be seated.

Good evening, everybody good evening.

The Lord will make your evening good.

Indeed, in Jesus' name, everything good will come your way tonight.

Testimonies come your way tonight.

Liftings come your way tonight.

Revelations come your way tonight.

Impartitions come your way tonight.

Direction comes your way tonight in the name of Jesus Christ.

For the Bible says, every good gift and every perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of Light, in whom there is no variableness nor shadow of turning.

And we give God praise.

We thank him for another opportunity He's provided.

It remains my joy and commitment every week as I bring us God's word.

I'm confident on the integrity of his word.

I know that when you stand upon God's it will always deliver.

More so, when you allow that world to be planted in you.

It says, if you abide in me John fifteen one to five, and my words abide in you.

If you abide in me and you allow my words to abide in you, allelujah, it's a secret to bearing foot says, for without me, ye can do nothing.

So let me encourage our hearts before we get to the ministry of the world.

Whenever you come to church, make sure you are truly connected.

Don't just be there in body and then your mind distracted thinking of something or someone you know.

Sometimes people can be in church and you're thinking of bills, you're thinking of children, you're thinking of spouses, thinking of jobs, thinking of disappointments or opportunities that are before them.

The time invested in God's presence will always yield and will be for your profit.

In our gathering is not onto God's profit, It is onto our profit.

He feels all things and in all with or without us.

He remains God.

But we need him every day, every other time for our survival.

It is him.

In him we leave.

In him we move, the Bible says, and it is in him we have our being.

Number two, God's method will never change.

It will always be by his word and through his spirit.

So if there's anything in your life that is an issue of concern, when you come to God, expect miracles, but not superstition.

Expect the supernatural, but not magic.

The dynamics of the supernatural is explainable.

It is spirit, but it can be explained.

The human mind can comprehend the supernatural.

It is always an interplay of the world of God and the Spirit of God.

Genesis chapter one, one to three.

The Bible says, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

It says, now the earth was without form, it was void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And then for change to occur, we see first and foremost that the Spirit of God was present.

He was hovering across the face of the waters, the face of confusion, the face of chaos, anarchy on certainty, no matter what the situation is, the moment you see the Holy Ghost moving, if you can get his presence to that scene, then change has begne did you hear what I just said.

It doesn't matter how hopeless like you heard during the worship.

It doesn't matter the level of despair, the level of confusion.

Your assignment is to create the atmosphere that is conducive for the manifested presence of God.

But when you can get the Holy Spirit to your direction, to your vicinity.

Now he is everywhere, but is manifested presence is not everywhere.

I've taught you in this house that there are three dimensions of God's presence.

Number one is called his omni presence, his ability to be everywhere.

The Sami said, where can I hide from your presence, whether it's in heaven, whether it's in hades, you are there.

Number two, the Bible says, where two or three are got that in my name I am there.

I call it is a Manuel dimension that one does not come except on invitation.

That dimension of his presence.

Number three is called his chakaina.

Where he reveals himself and he makes himself known.

There are evidences, there are tokens of his presence.

An example of such is liberty.

Now the Lord is that spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Liberty in every ramification, liberty of your mind, liberty of your spirit, liberty of expression, freedom from every ailing situation, every activity, whatsoever.

May that be your testimony in Jesus' name.

So the supernatural is an interplay between the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the world.

So the Holy Spirit hover around the face of the waters Genesis one and verse two, and then verse three says the Holy Spirit now hovering the word came verse three, he says, and God said, you would think because the Holy Spirit were already hovering there would be miracles.

Nothing absolutely happened, absolutely until the world came and God said, let light be or let there be light, and there was light.

You see the same pattern in Ezekiel, chapter thirty seven.

The son of Man, can these bones leave?

The Spirit of God speaking, took him to a wilder, a valley that was full of bones that were very dry.

Can these bones leave?

And he said, only thou knowest, And he said, Prophestsi, I am there, but you speak to the bones and tell them here yeither.

That was spoken by the spirit of God, but it had to be received from the lips of a man communicated by faith, and the Bible says I profess side as I was commanded verse five, and there was a sound of a six.

You read down to ten and eleven, and praying for you in the name of Jesus Christ.

That number one.

You trust the presence of the Holy Spirit in this place.

You don't have to wait for someone to be flying up and down shouting under the anointing.

Those are evidences of his presence, evidences of his ministry.

The primary basis for the Holy Spirit or knowing that the Holy Spirit is here, is faith, not the physical evidence allelujah.

If you have to wait for someone to shake, to shout, to jump, to roll around, then you now say, wow, God is in this place.

Then you are canal.

The spiritual man walks by faith.

The basis of your confidence.

Your believing is the Word of God.

Physical evidence or no evidence your believing first, then it leads to an evidence allelujah.

So you must trust the presence of the Holy Spirit.

He came here before us, and he's here because he's in an atmosphere way.

He's received by faith and welcome.

We have used our will to verbalize our need for him through our prayer, through the worship, acknowledging him in testimonies, and now the world is about to come.

You must then trust the ministry of the Word.

Matthew four four.

Man shall not live by bread alone.

Bread means that which is of human origin, man made.

Man shall not live by his job alone.

Bread alone.

Man shall not live by intellect alone.

Bread alone.

Man shall not live by business alone.

Man shall not live by the assistance from men alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.

The proceeding word is also known as the scent word, and the Bible says, he send forth his word, and his word he let them and delivered them from their destructions.

Are you ready for the word tonight?

Go ahead and lift your voice in one minute, asks a lord to speak to you.

I am ready.

My heart is opened in the name of Jesus.

Go ahead and pray.

A believer is praying, a receiver is praying, and expect one person is praying.

Oh, go ahead and lift your voice.

Cry.

Let your word come in away.

That changes my life for real, lifts me for real, annoys me for real, move me from where I am to the next dimension in the spirit.

If someone praying, let's it be the name of the Lord.

She milantos kiprand the guitar, for it's in jesus Us mighty name.

We have prayed tonight.

I'm teaching on the discerning of spirits, and I believe that this teaching is very timely and it will be a great blessing to you as you lend your attention to listen.

We want to build accuracy in perception.

God is helping us.

It's line up online, precept upon precept.

Here a little and they're a little now you remember, do not forget the kind of believer, you are becoming.

I have taught you in this house, and every once and again I remind you.

Because transformation is vision dependent, it's important you cast before the people what they are becoming in Christ, what they are becoming as they submit to the world of God.

You cannot just am growing.

There has to be a reference.

Children look at their parents to know what they will one day be like.

Students look at their teachers to know what they will one day be like.

A way together.

Transformation is based on two laws.

Number one, looking on to Jesus through his word and by his spirit.

Number two, being followers of them who, through faith and patience have obtained the promise.

That's the law of transformation.

It is impossible to be transformed constructively without a reference.

Transformation is based on a reference.

When a medical student goes to medical school, he's exposed to the environment where in one day he will work and one day he might even become a lecturer, a professor A way together.

That environment does something to him.

It keeps a vision that is cast before him.

He knows one day he will be a doctor.

In experience, he knows one day he will be a consultant.

It's the same thing that happens after you train lawyers for a while, you take them to the law school.

Then they are called to bar.

But there are people for them.

There is a model, so operandi.

They follow through the readiments of their practice.

They know that one day they will become senior advocates.

One day they will become practitioners at the highest level.

That's how it is spiritually and transformation or what you are becoming.

The metamorphosis that is happening to you in this house concerns Number one, your passion for Jesus, fweiling and refelling your passion for Jesus.

Number two, doing a work upon your spirit and your mind, quickening your understanding.

You are gaining mastery by submitting to the things that we teach every week and every other week.

You are gaining mastery.

One you are understanding doctrine.

And then number two, you are understanding the precepts, the mysteries, the principles of the kingdom.

Number three, you are becoming empowered believers, empowered by the Spirit, empowered by the annointing.

Empowerment gives you the wherewithout the capacity to demonstrate the things that you believe.

Transformation without empowerment will leave the believer frustrated because you are enlightened.

You know what should be, but you do not have the wherewithout to make it happen.

Are we learning?

And then number four?

God is guiding us through these teachings to be people of vision and purpose.

He said in Gerremanis, chapter one and verse five, from whence you and your mother's womb before thou came, as forth I called you, and I ordained you to be a prophet onto the nations Hebrews ten seven.

Low, I come in the volume of the book as it is written, to do your will.

Believers are beings of purpose.

We're not just beings of progress.

The value of progress is that it leads to purpose.

Let me say that again.

The value of progress is that it leads to purpose.

If progress does not lead to purpose, you are shadow boxing.

You can not be going nowhere.

You imagine someone who is running at eighty kilometer per hour one hundred kilometer per hour, and after five hours you ask the person where you're going to he says, I don't know exactly.

Most likely you turn around and find yourself where you see that.

Now, speed is useless until direction is confirmed.

Every time direction is wanting, you are forced to reduce your speed until you know where you are going.

So among the many things that you are becoming a believers with purpose, you are finding your place in God's grant scheme of things.

That's why topics like the Great Commission come walking in purpose, helping you to understand God's idea for your life.

That He did not just save you for nothing.

He did not just make all these spiritual investments in your life for nothing.

Additionally, God is building us to become a people whose relevance transcends the four walls of the church, whose relevance trans send the pull pit.

He's producing agents of societal and agents of territorial transformation relevance like we considered yesterday, looking at last week, looking at discipleship, His train as to be people who are relevant to our world, not just fanatics who shout, roll, cry, jump away together and then make the faith life look superstitious.

The value of the faith life to society must be very clear and unmistakable.

So through our prayer, our rolling, our importation, annointing, and everything we do, we must access wisdom in the secret place and then step out to the marketplace to society and begin to download that wisdom.

The Bible says, according to efficients Chapter two, one, verse ten, we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus onto good works which God had preordained that we should work in them.

If someone learning now, it's important for you to see a picture.

I'm using words to paint for you a picture in your mind that as you are seated now, whether you're coming here for the first time, or you've been here connected genuinely sincerely following online for the first time, or you have submitted yourself to learning through this ministry, through this platform, this is what we are about.

Every topic is so designed by wisdom and by the leadership of the spirit to continue this journey.

It's an ongoing journey, fueling your passion, transforming you, empowering you, planting seeds of purpose and meaning to your life, making you, turning you into an agent of territorial transformation, and then helping you to leave a victorious life.

Or you cannot remove victory from the equation.

Are we together that whilst you are about serving the program of God, you do that as a victorious believer.

A defeated believer cannot breath the program of God effectively.

There is a dimension of victory that speaks to the praise of his name.

So we're being equipped with the tools, one of which will be learning tonight that equip you holistically to become a thoroughly furnished believer.

Thoroughly furnished believer.

You understand the ministry of the world, the ministry of the spirit, the ministry of men.

See that now, the ministry of prayer, the place of diligence, and all the laws that empower an individual to reign within the cosmos favor, honor, diligence.

You see, when you hold these laws, it's like a man who is holding keys.

You never get stranded.

You stand before a door, you know what key opens it.

This is what you are becoming.

And finally, you are a believer who is becoming a fulfilled believer.

I define fulfillment as the satisfaction that is derived from knowing you have lived your life effectively, serving the purposes of the kingdom and bringing glory to the Lord.

Life is vain.

If you are only successful, you must also be fulfilled.

There are many successful people who are not fulfilled.

They are successful, there are results, there are evidences, there are goals that are accomplished, but at the end of it, they did not spend their lives.

I give you an example.

The rich fool was successful, but he was not fulfilled because nothing about his success spoke to the praises of Jesus.

It didn't better men.

It was all about self.

And one of the things you are learning through our teaching sessions is the pruning of self to help you know that life can be lived from a higher dimension.

You can leave a life that is void of self.

It doesn't take too much to be satisfied as a much short disciple believer.

So when God lavishes resources upon you, whether spiritual, financial, intellectual, it is for you to leave for a cause that is bigger than yourself.

Are we learning tonight?

Praise the name of the Lord, help us Holy Spirit in Jesus' name the Discerning of Spirit.

Two scriptures for a start.

First, CORINTNS Chapter twelve will begin from verse eight to ten.

So Paul in the church in corinth he's arranging for us what we know to be the gifts of the Spirit, and he's helping us understand the administration of that gift.

In fact, you want to understand.

Let's back up to verse four, so that we'll get the context.

But we're dealing specifically with verse ten.

It says, now there are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit.

So he's mentioning gifts and he's mentioning the spirit.

There are differences in administration.

That means, even where it is the same gift, the way you admss died is different.

You now see automatically that this requires flexibility.

You can have two profits, two apostles, two kingdom administrators, same gift, but the models operandi, the way the unique expression of it can be very different, but it is still the same lord.

Verse six, he noun says there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God that work at all in all.

Verse seven, but the manifestation of the spirit is given to every man.

To profit without the manifestation of the spirit is different from the offices that are given to some.

Are we together when it has to do with distribution of ministerial offices.

There are apostles, there are profits, there are evangelists, and in one expression, Paul would even go to talk of helps administrators and so on and so forth.

But he's saying here that the manifest You know what that means.

The outworking of the Holy Spirit is given to every man to profit without Verse eight.

Now he begins to help us understand the manifestations and the distributions.

For to one is given by the spirit, the word of wisdom to another, the word of knowledge, all by the same spirit.

Verse nine, to one to another.

Faith, or the gift of faith by the same spirit to another, the gifts of healing by the same spirit, wholesome healing spirit, soul body to another, the working of miracles to another, prophecy to another, discerning of spirits to another, diverse kinds of tongues to another.

Interpretation of tongues.

Second Scripture, very quickly Hebrews chapter five, and will read just one verse verse fourteen.

Hebrews Chapter five and verse fourteen.

But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercise to discern both good and evil.

May your world bless us tonight in the name of Jesus.

Now, the subject of discernment is one that is very critical to the believer's survival, especially in the world that we live in today.

We live in a world today I wrote here where truth is increasingly becoming relative.

We live in a world where there seems to be valid opinions over everything.

We live in a very intelligent dispensation.

The Bible calls its knowledge increasing away.

Together we have an array of opinion for everything.

There's almost no subject matter that can be discussed on earth where you have a single opinion, from religion to politics, to human living, to health, to food, to the reasons why people die, to the reasons why people stay alive.

Isn't it very interesting you find someone stay alive.

They asks a person why you are alive?

They say, I smoke every day.

Another person says why you are alive?

You say because I avoided smoking from age twenty.

And you are wondering now, who is right?

Allelujah?

Truth has become increasingly relative.

And someone says, it's a dispensation that sold most visibly the idea of my truth.

You hear people say this is my truth.

Respect my truth.

You can have your truth, and yet we call it truth.

So in a world where truth is increasingly becoming relative, and where opinions it seems like their opinions about everything, and this has again become a bigger issue because Today there are technological channels, avenues that make opinions, any opinion at all, loud and dominant.

It used to be that when an idea is true, it sustains a forceful power to eventually gain dominance.

But now, with the advent of privileges like technology, a lie can gain magnitude and such dominance over people, over families, over cultures, over societies, away together.

And it is very possible that truth and righteousness can be stifled on the wings of technology, and a lie can be sold.

It can be rebranded, repackaged, given a narrative that is so appealing, So are leering, so compelling.

This is the kind of world we live in.

This is a world where evil can be made to appear good.

This is a world where good can be made to appear evil.

In this kind of world, discernment is no longer a luxury.

It is a vital necessity.

If at all we are to live and thrive us believe us, then we must place premium on the subject of discernment.

Who is understanding me so far?

This is very, very important.

Almost any issue you want to think about, there's someone who is saying something about it online.

How to live long.

Enter, someone is saying something how to die.

Now, Enter someone is saying something how to be rich.

Enter, someone is saying something how to be poor.

Enter, someone is saying something how to be great.

First, someone is saying something how to be great?

Slow, someone is saying something.

And now chagipity and other.

You know, they've come to literally put a turbo engine on this journey.

You literally can make anything.

You would be surprised to know the things that people have brows.

If I were the devil, what would I have done?

Enter?

And you know because at least at a personal level, it gives you a level of privacy.

No one except those responsible for the intelligence systems know what you are doing, so you can ask anything and be a foolish You can be childish, just do your thing, unlike what you do if you on a television, everybody sees what you're watching, they know what you are engaging with.

Are we together?

And this has brought people to a point where even young people especially, we have all kinds of gens gen Zige and alpha and every other thing.

They're asking questions.

There's a relativity of truth.

It's becoming a serious thing across cultures.

You find people lead all kinds of matchings across streets, asking questions.

It's important for us to be people of discernment.

Even among preachers, with all due respect, there's been an increasing divide as to what is right, what is necessary, what is unnecessary?

Everything to be challenged has been challenged as far as the Christian faith is concerned.

Some of the things that will easily take for granted as doctrinal pillers, they've been challenged across pseudo Christian sects, Christian sects, among men of God, among theologians.

So when men of God are communicating opinions now they just say, there is a school of thought that says this, it's reducing spirituality to philosophy, and it's important that we understand this subject of discernment.

Hallelujah.

Now, the Bible uses many indices to measure spirituality and maturity.

For instance, the Bible men growth in the world.

It says, as little children, that you desire the sincere milk of the world, that ye may grow away together, And that from a child thou hast what does it put thou hast known the Holy Scripture which is able to build make you wise?

You know, onto salvation and so on and so forth.

Among the many indices that I used to measure spirituality and maturity in the Kingdom is the subject of discernment.

Discernment is very important.

First Corinthians, chapter two and verse fourteen.

First Corinthians, Chapter two and verse fourteen.

The Bible says, but the natural man receive it, not the things of the spirit.

So there is a body of reality called things of the Spirit.

In fact, many years ago I preached a message along this team, the things of the Spirit.

There are.

There are certain subjects, certain discussions that are categorized onto thisscuption the things of the Spirit of God.

It says, for their foolishness unto him, neither can he know them.

The reason is because they are spiritually discerned.

And to strengthen your understanding.

The natural man, from Bible language, means one who is on regenerate, one who is not in Christ.

Is another word for a nounbeliever, one who is not in Christ, an unsaved person.

It's a Bible language for an unsaved person.

And natural man, one who only functions by the impulses of the senses, is sensual.

He doesn't have any spiritual advantage that connects him to truth in its absolute definition.

Romance chapter twelve and verse two.

Can we look at NIV.

Romance twelfth and verse two, NIV.

We're forming a foundation for a discussion.

Romance twelfth and verse two.

The Bible says, do not conform to the pattern of this world, it says, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Then you will be able to test.

There you have it.

Now there you will be able to test and approve what God's will is, his good, He's pleasing, and his perfect will.

The Bible uses discernment as a measure of spiritual maturity in the believer's life.

We read the Final Scripture already, but let's read it again.

Hebrews five and verse fourteen.

Hebrews five and verse fourteen.

Solid food.

Okay, we're trying an IV now.

Solid Food says is for the mature, who, by constant youse have trained themselves to distinguish between good and evil?

Are we learning already?

Prays the name of the Lord.

Now the Bible, for the more mandates that all believers learn to test spirits.

In First John, chapter four and verse one, the Bible mandates believe us to test spirits, beloved, it says, believe not every spirit, but try or test the spirits whether they are of God.

Why because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Apostle johurnis encouraging us now, it's calling us the beloved.

He says, do not believe every spirit.

What that means is, do not believe every influence, every motivation.

I'm about to define discernment shortly, but it says believe not every spirit.

He says, try or test the spirit whether they are of God.

That means there are within the reach of the believer the tools that we can use to test spirits to see whether they are of God.

He says, because there are false prophets that are gone out into the world.

Hallelujah.

Finally, in Second Corinthians eleven and verse fourteen.

Concorinthians eleven and verse fourteen, the Bible tells us that Satan can transform and appear as an angel of light.

He says, and no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Remember when Jesus was speaking to the disciples, he sent them and they went, and they came back with great reports.

They said, Wow, even the demons were subject to us through your name.

He said, do not rejoice just because demons are subject, but you rejoice because your names are written in heaven.

And he said, I saw Satan fall like light.

Satan can appear as an angel of light.

And indeed he's appeared to many.

He's appeared to preachers, he's appeared to founders of Christian movements.

Unfortunately, he's appeared to families.

He's appeared to well intentioned people, and he's masqueraded himself as an angel of light and his soul.

Narratives narratives that are outrightly false, or narratives that have been ackaged using the quote of part truth and then a lie.

For instance, the Bible says, the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and shall give heed to set do sin spirits, and to the doctrine of devils, the doctrine of demons Festimalif one verse one, the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times or the end times, some shall depart from the faith.

It's called apostasy, a deviation.

I've done a teaching on that's an old teaching, a deviation from God's patterns.

Then he says, as they deviate from the faith, they will give heed to set deucing spirits.

They are all spirits.

They talk like the Holy Spirit, they behave in many ways like the Holy Spirit, but they are not Him.

And then these spirits churne out what we call the doctrine of devils.

And submit to you that some of these doctrines have found their way.

They've crept into the body of Christ.

They've crept into churches, They've crept into denominations, They've crept into hearts malleable hearts.

There are people who have gone to pray and sadly return back with all kinds of operations that when you test them against the world of God, you find it wanting.

There are sermons that have been communications that qualify to be called doctrines of devils.

An individual does not have to be false or fake to be false.

You can be genuine, you can be sincere.

But that which comes from you may not be consistent with the Word of God.

Are we learning now now?

What is discernment?

Let's discuss discernment.

What is discernment?

Haven't laid this foundation?

We need discernment.

The Bible has a lot to say.

It is one of the tests of spiritual maturity.

The Bible says that we should test spirits knowing that Satan himself can appear as an angel of light.

What is discernment or give you to definitions quickly?

Number one, Discernment is the supernatural ability.

Perhaps you may want to listen and then write, Discernment is the supernatural ability I wrote here given by the Holy Spirit to distinguish between good and evil, to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and to distinguish activities initiated by the Holy Spirit and that which is initiated by any other spirit influence.

I'll take that slowly.

Just listen.

O're dictated for you to write that when we talk about discernment, number one, it's a supernatural ability, and the number two it is given by the Holy Spirit.

Bible.

Discernment is given by the Holy Spirit, and that it empowers an individual to number one, distinguish between good and evil.

Number two, distinguish between t truth and falsehood.

Number three, to distinguish between activities initiated by the Holy Spirit and activities initiated by any other spirits.

And we're going to be learning our focus tonight will be on spirits.

Discernment is not limited to spirits, but we're zooming our discussion to the discerning of spirits.

Another word for spirits there is not just entities.

It also means influences.

Are we together, so now you're right.

Discernment is the ability given by the Holy Spirit to distinguish between good and evil.

You put a comma there between truth and falsehood, between the activities initiated by the Holy Spirit and that which is initiated by any other spirit demonic spirits, for instance.

That's the first definition.

A second definition, the discernment is also a supernatural ability that allows believers to evaluate teachings, to examine motives, and to assess situations using superior wisdom, helping them to avoid deception so that they work accurately in the will of God and live consistent with the world of God.

Long definition, but very important.

Listen one more time and then I'll allow you right.

This second definition captures a lot, is broader, and it is very applicable.

It says that it is a supernatural ability.

It's also a supernatural ability that allows believers to number one evaluate teachings, so you are able to evaluate a teaching and to know whether this is of God or otherwise.

Number two, it empowers you to examine motives.

Oh, this is powerful.

You'll be learning a lot tonight, because if all you do to assess people is to look at the physical activities, many things that carry a similitude of goodness will end you in trouble away together.

Examining motives is the ability to look deeper beyond the physical activity.

You understand motives and motivation, and then number three, to assess situations using superior wisdom, helping them the believer now to avoid deception and then to work accurately in the will of God and to work consistent with the world of God.

I don't know what part of this definition you'll be able to capture, but let me try.

I'll dictate once you're just right ready go.

It is also the supernatural or supernatural ability that allows believers to evaluate tea common to examine motives, examine motives, and assess situations using superior wisdom.

You still put the comma there and assess situations using superior wisdom, helping them to avoid deception so that they walk accurately in the will of God and leave consistent with the word of God, helping them to avoid deception so that they walk accurately in the will of God and live consistent with the word of God.

You understand me, so for shout aloud.

Amen.

You want me to dictate it one more time?

Say come again, all right, so I'll give you one last time.

It is a supernatural ability that allows believers to evaluate teachings, common examine motives, and assess situations using superior wisdom, helping them to avoid deception so that they work accurately in the will of God and live consistent with the word of God.

Whether you're done or not, shout amen.

Now, there is a difference between discernment and instincts very important.

They can walk together to birth the will and the purposes of God.

But there is a very striking difference between discernment and instinct.

There's something about the human spirit.

You see.

There are certain latent abilities that are trapped within the human spirit, and these abilities can be developed by reason of use.

Factors like age, factors like academic knowledge are we together.

Factors like experience can add to building the bank of your instinct, and so those things create for want of word, if I would borrow a word from science and medicine.

I would say some neuropathways such that when events happen, it's like how a computer works.

It can diagnose a situation and come up with an inference within a moment.

And because a human spirit is also a spirit, it is able to trap feelings, trap energies, and send those impulses.

Are we together, yes, So it is possible for you to just know you are not born again, you are not filled with the Holy Spirit.

But you can just know that this does not add up.

There is a logic that is trapped in a human spirit by reason of use.

That's why sometimes you can see and all.

Sometimes uneducated mother or father can look at someone and say, no, I don't think you should get this job.

Now, they didn't hear the Holy Spirit.

They didn't do anything.

And in a very strange way, you can divel up your instincts to gain the mastery of one who operates discernment.

There are people who have literally by instinct, they have built empires.

There are business people who are purported to have godlike abilities because they have trained their instinct they can tell you with precision, sometimes godlike precision.

The trends of businesses.

Are we together?

They can reject of us.

They can do whatever to a point that corporations they have developed a science around and picking these individuals.

We call them genesis.

We call them all kinds of people.

But they have developed their instincts.

But this is not discernment.

Instinct is not necessarily engineered by the Holy Spirit.

It's an advantage that every spirit has, including a human spirit.

Allelujah, look or please, how many of you have seen dogs begin to act in a certain way when there's danger looming around.

We use dogs, the military used dogs.

Are weay together?

They are not necessarily fill to the Holy Spirit that's trained instincts.

Dogs for you, they can snuff every kind of thing you hide it anywhere.

I mean, people have hidden all kinds of things, cocaine inside them, and the dogs came and sat down close to them.

Now that's not word of knowledge, that's not what of wisdom.

But dogs for you, instincts are we together.

When you pass many airports around the world, you see them quietly watching you, and later they just leave the owner and go and sit near someone and they direct that person come with us.

And truly you will find out that there's something hiding somewhere away together.

How about birds and other animals.

In fact, natural scientists sometimes proport that animals have an uncanny way of being able to detect changes in weather conditions.

And that's true.

When you watch not your wild you see animals, birds, fishes, they literally move from the north to the south of various region, maybe during winter during summer.

They have an uncanny ability with no advisor.

So instincts are powerful, but they are not discernment.

Discernment is engineered by the Holy Spirit.

It is more superior and precise in its operation.

Is someone learning now prays the name of the Lord.

If you're following so far, say amen, I just needed to point that out so that you don't make a mistake of thinking.

Because you've been scoring the points right.

And even though you are not born again, and even though you've not been trained, you've not opened up to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, you can say, I use my instincts to know the right job.

I you know, I heard there used to be this octopus or something.

I hope I'm right on that one octopus that useduld decide who wins election.

And they just put all kinds of faces, and then I don't know which of the hands on our fingers.

It uses the point I'm telling you, the day to fail you you better build, the day you are to decide, or something that matters most.

That's the day in things fail.

But discernment, if correct and by the spirit, always wins.

Hallelujah.

Now, clearly, from all our definitions we come to the conclusion that discernment involves three things.

Discernment involves three things.

Number one, the capacity to know the source and the influence behind physical activities.

From all of the discussions so far, we arrive at three conclusions.

One that discernment has to do with the capacity to know the source and the influence behind physical activities.

So one who has and has trained his discernment will number one, have the capacity to know the source will be looking at scriptures shortly, and the influence behind any activity whatsoever.

Number two, dissignment also involves the capacity to know the motive and the motivation behind actions.

So it does not just reveal the source and the influence, meaning what spirit is sponsoring that activity.

But number two, it helps us to know the motive and the motivation behind actions.

The motif and the motivation behind actions.

And then number three, dissignment involves an empowerment to make decisions and to make judgments that lead to the will of God.

Dissignment involves an empowerment to make decisions and judgments that lead to the will of God.

Someone learning.

So so, in discussing the subject of discernment, you must anchor on these three things.

The capacity to know the source and the influence, meaning the spirit that is behind an activity.

Number two, the capacity to know the motif and the motivation behind any and every action.

And then number three and empowerment to make decisions and judgments that lead to the will of God.

Cononi, are we learning?

Amen?

Now, the Holy Spirit very clearly from scripture, as we read in First Corinthians twelve, the Holy Spirit is the primary source of discernment.

The Holy Spirit is the primary source of discernment.

We're talking with respect to the believers.

Speaker 3

Work.

Speaker 1

Now, like you've been learning from scripture, there are other spirit influences that can give you capacity to perceive.

Will be considering the story of the Damn cell.

Remember Paul and Silas the story of the Damn cell.

There was a spirit that empowered her.

She prophesied accurately, not missing anything, to a point that they built a business around that gift.

If it was epileptic, the people will not make money.

She had a level of precision and accuracy.

She became a divineer, I should say, a young girl.

She was under that influence.

And those guys, after seeing her display all those things, one day they called her and built an administrative system around her gift, and they started extracting money from people.

It was her deliverance and the annoyance that it brought to them, people who were merchandising that gift that led to the prison in at chapter sixteen.

Will go there shortly, but just for you to know that in the economy of the kingdom, the Holy Spirit, it's the primary source of discernment.

First Corinthians twelve Unduds ten.

The Bible tells us it is by the spirit the gift of discernment.

It is all by the same spirit.

Hallelujah, prays the name of the Lord, all by the same spirit.

Now, for tonight we're going to be looking at four levels of discernment.

And this is very important.

Even though our focus is on the discerning of spirits.

I generally want to show you four levels.

In my study of the subject of discernment, I have found four levels of discernment that are important and applicable to every believer.

Number one, discerning of times and seasons.

Discerning of times and seasons.

Let's consider for a text Ecclesias Seas, chapter three, from verse one to eight discerning.

This is the first level of discernment.

That means, if you are to enjoy discernment for your profiting, then you must understand how to discernd times and seasons.

Shout it after me, say times and seasons one more time, like you're learning, say times and seasons right, So it says to everything, how many things?

This is very important.

When the Bible says there is a season and a time for everything and every purpose, it then means if you do not sustain the faculty to discernd times and to discern seasons, there are many things that will leave you behind.

Many seasons will come and pass, and you will not know how to maximize them.

Are we together?

Let me not go ahead of myself.

So we're reading to everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavens.

Reading to verse eight, a time to be born.

Do you believe that?

And a time to die, a time to plant, a time to plock up that which is planted, a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to break down, a time to build up, a time to weep, a time to laugh.

May this be your time to laugh.

I'm passing here to just speak it to your life.

May this be your time to laugh.

And any devil that wants so many pulate time and take you back to the days of crying, the days of weeping.

We come against that devil now in the name of Jesus Christ.

Let's continue quickly.

A time to mourn and a time to dance.

Verse five.

A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together.

A time to embrace my goodness, and a time to refrain from embracing.

Six.

A time to get and a time to lose.

A time to keep and a time to cast away.

A time to rend and a time to sow, A time to keep silence hello, a time to keep silence and a time to speak.

Final verse A time to laugh and a time to hate.

May this time never come to your life.

Accept it is to hate demons, hate satan, hate all kinds of bad things in the name of Jesus Christ.

Then it says a time for war, a time of war, and a time of peace.

I think we once discuss this, and we see that in every verse there was one word that was consistent.

Time Hallelujah.

First Chronicles, chapter twelfth and verse thirty two.

The Bible says, and of the sons of Isaka, men who had understanding of the times, they had understanding of the time.

So a man can understand times, a man can understand seasons to know what Israel ought to do.

The Bible says.

The heads of them were two hundred, and all their brethren were at their command.

Can I give you one more scripture?

Look chapter nineteen, from verse forty one, and we read up until forty four.

Look nineteen.

This is Jesus who came near Jerusalem.

He stood looking across Jerusalem, the Bible says, and when he was come near, he beheld the city and wept over it.

One of the reasons why Jesus wept in the Bible saying, if thou hast known even thou at least in this thy day, the things that belong onto your peace, it says, But now they are hidden from your eyes.

For the days shall come upon THEE, and thy enemies shall cast a trench about THEE, and compass the roundabout, and keep THEE on every side verse forty four.

And shall lay THEE with the ground, and thy children with THEE.

And they shall not live in THEE one stone upon another, because down knowingst not the time of your visitation.

The reason why you become a victim to your enemies they will so discomfit you, is because you don't know the time of your visitation.

Allelujah.

Can I give you one more scripture?

I just felt like giving you one.

It just came to my spirit some one or two one verse thirteen.

Oh, I like this one.

I receive it for myself in the name of Jesus Christ some one or two and verse thirteen.

Thou shall arise, Thou shall arise and have mess you upon Joshua Selman for the time the time to favor him.

Yeah, the Cairos time is come.

I receive it for myself, and then I receive it for you.

I receive it for myself, and then I receive it for you.

Oh, May September, October, November, December be the time to favor Zion.

In the name of Jesus Christ, please be seated.

God is a god of times and seasons in recreating the earth, as we find in Genesis chapter one, the Bible says that he made the stars, he made certain lights to signify days, to signify times, to signify years.

There are lights that signify seasons.

And like you may have learned in my teaching the law of seasons, I refer you to my teaching the law of seasons.

Seasons come with certain advantages.

Speaker 3

We walk.

Speaker 1

We don't do spring, summer, autumn, and so on and so forth as we have back in the West.

We usually do rainy and dry season in Nigeria, So allow me byas in Nigeria we only know two seasons, dry season and rainy seasons.

And whatever that means to you as you are connected across the globe, it just means that seasons come with your advantage.

Are we together?

Yes, it was rainy as I left home.

So a farmer who's had his crops planted now does not need to go through the label of trying to channel water to his farm because the season brought that advantage.

Is someone learning now Seasons come with certain advantages are given.

An instance, there's no baby who has to go through the worry of cleaning himself or herself, because the season of that baby already provides certain advantages.

Am I right on that prays the name of the Lord.

A young boy who is born by responsible parents, for instance, and from infancy to teenage, usually under normal circumstances, he does not need to worry about looking for his fees or her fees because the parents or the guardians, they usually will handle their education up until they become graduates, up until they become adults.

So seasons come with your advantages.

Hallelujah, prays the name of the Lord.

There are students who are students.

They have the privilege of enjoying certain scholarships.

You find some of the universities and colleges in Nigeria.

There are states that give scholarships.

Their government gives scholarships.

Certain angos give scholarships, but the scholarship is only for students.

So provided you are a student and you can prove that you're a student, you stand a chance to enjoy the scholarship.

There are non students who enjoy the scholarship.

Court see their children or their loved ones who are students.

As they collect the money, they share it around and it goes round away together.

Now very important.

There are certain people who, by reason of their connection, by reason of certain seasons, they are in very chiros moments of their life.

Some things happen to them freely, very very freely, but others may not have that privilege.

I don't want to start distinguishing nations and distinguishing whatever it is, but there there are certain well let me just let that be.

Nigeria is a good nation in the name of Jesus, who keep going from glory to glory to be a good season for us always in Jesus' name, A way together.

Yeah, I wanted to just contrast different regimes and the possibilities that came from them, but there's no point having to talk about that.

But seasons come with different advantages, you get the point now, Yes, very very important, and they come with a model so operandi, a way to behave and certain advantages that come to them.

And most people do not know that.

The way it is physically, that's how it is also in the spirit.

I'll give you an example.

Did you know that as a young believer and you hear a lot of people who are very honest.

They will tell you that as soon as they got born again.

It's a trend among young believers.

Almost everything they ask or don't ask, get answered, you know, and they're happy and they feel, I mean, why I'm a child believers praying and first thing, I mean, I just said Lord, before I even said answer me, he came.

You are right.

You know how how a parent nurses a child.

A child just cries and the next thing breast milk is there, cleaning and all of that, and God allows them so that they are not discouraged.

Then they get to a point where the responsibility component of being a believer is now introduced.

God now tells them, well, this is not the norm, it is an exception, as an act of messy.

You are going to now learn how to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

It is at that point they now realize that, wow, so in the midst of all these good things, there are still courses and yolks that are not dealt with experientially.

They begin to see other manifestations.

Then they now appreciate those who have gone ahead of them and their diligence and so on and so forth.

So my point is that times and seasons come with your advantage.

Another example, how many of you know that it is easier to dry your cloth outside in the daytime.

Your chances of those clothes drying very first, especially on a sunny day, sometimes ten minutes, one hour and the clothes are dried, versus trying to dry your clothes in the night, especially when it is wet and you know very rainy, your clothes might not easily dry.

These are some of the advantages.

There are people farmers, for instance, especially in the rural areas.

During the dry season.

You see the roads filled with maize, corn, whatever it is, and they are trying to dry.

They take advantage of the weather and the season.

Hallelujah, prays the name of the Lord.

Now, if you do not sustain the intelligence to compartmentalize your life and to understand that life works based on times and seasons, three things will happen to you.

Number one, you will not have a system of measuring whether you are suffering from delay or making progress away together, there are times that will pass you and you will never know that the time is gone.

We have fragmented life in this place for the poper of education into four seasons.

Remember morning or the stage of learning, Afternoon or stage of manifestation, maximum impact, Evening or the stage of legacy, and then night the stage of rest.

Courtseye a school of ministry curriculums, so you can come for school of ministry and then you learn every other thing in detail.

Do we have a school of ministry alumni?

All right?

So praise God.

Look forward to when I'm sure.

Soon enough.

By I'm sure, or before the convention, we should be able to start putting things to open up for the next session.

Praise the name of the Lord.

Every other question you have wait until that time.

Discerning times and seasons, Daniel in the Bible, one of the reasons why he began to submit himself to pray was that he opened the book, he says, and I Daniel understood by books, and as he read he saw that based on that which was written, there was a season where the captivity of God's people were supposed to come to an end, and that that season.

He was right at that season away together seventy years in the desolation of Jerusalem.

It was to come to end.

But that season had come, and yet nothing was happening.

That spelled victory and liberty, and he took responsibility.

Knowing the season, he began to pray, and when he prayed truly, he sought the Lord in fasting.

The Bible says sack claudes, ashes and all of that.

And then Gabriel comes to him.

And when Gabriel comes to him, he said, I was sent by God to come and give you understanding, meaning if he did not know the season, he would not be able to align himself and pray.

Are we together?

Now?

Let me tell you this.

There are prophecies are connected to seasons, and sometimes you can have a prophetic world over your life.

But that prophecy was connected to his season.

Even when you get to the season, nothing will happen.

Your knowledge of the season is what makes you begin to engage spiritually.

John remains in the wilderness.

The Bible says until his season of appearing.

There is a season of appearing so you can be a man of God.

And whilst you know your season of waiting and training, you may not know that the green light has already been shown on your face.

And yet you may remain there, no visibility, no growth, no advancement.

And when you check the calendar and the spirit God do say by now you should have attended these height and praying for someone where you missed seasons.

In the name of Jesus, as you are listening tonight and as you are learning tonight, let the grace to catch up be released upon you.

Let the grace to catch up be released upon you.

Let the grace to catch up be released upon you.

Allelujah be seated.

I'll tell you this now, this is my opinion.

When the Lord took Abraham, if you study your Bible, he opened Abraham to a vision and began to show him the captivity of the nation of Israel in Egypt.

And according to their discussion, he told him after four hundred years, after four hundred years, I will come again and bring them out into a land and all of that.

But you know that by the calculation, it was about four hundred and thirty years.

The thirty years added.

I mean, it will look like God lied.

Why was thirty years added to four hundred years?

And yet God did he calculate wrong?

And I sought for a reason yesteryears.

And my conclusion was that the training process of the man who would be the deliverer perhaps maybe what added to it.

But later on, as I grew in the spirit, one day God told me the reason for the delay was because of the absence of an intercessor, that even when the time came, there was nobody who could call on heaven.

God had to initiate the help by himself, mostly sensing his spirit as a young man that I am a deliverer.

But the dynamics he didn't know.

And because he moved in a season that was wrong.

He used a wrong what do we call it now, a wrong strategy.

He was a deliverer, but it would not be by killing an Egyptian.

Are we together?

Can I tell you the truth?

There are many Kingdom financiers who are four one nine today.

Is because there is a grace in them.

There is a grace.

They don't know why they are.

They think they're upset about money.

It's not just no, it's something that is inherent in them.

With all due respect, many of the prophets you see, or people who go to the devil, there is within their preordination a prophetic destiny.

But because they could not wait for seasons, the devil will now leader them and say come remember set and wanted to give Jesus what God would give him later on, but not the season.

He said, why go through all of this, borrow to me, and I will give you this thing.

You don't need to go to hell, you don't need the cross, you don't even need to train.

Imagine if he collected it no disciples, no apostles, no training, no revelation on the Holy Spirit, What then would be the value of his coming?

Is someone learning?

Knowing seasons can help you know what to receive or what to They may not be evil things, but if you have the capacity to descend seasons, you will say yes to many, many many.

Listen, listen.

If you don't understand seasons, That's what I meant to say, you will say yes to many good things.

Certain does not only destroy with evil things.

When he tries evil, he will push you.

Now, please don't feel bad.

And this is not to mock or whatever it is.

Why is it that when a young boy sits in a car at age nine or ten and drives that car, even if it drives successfully, when the vio or the police catch that boy, they are going to take him.

Do you know why he was not about driving successfully or not?

Is that the boy has not gotten into the season.

When he gets to eighteen years, are we together?

Even if he hits someone, nobody will carry him on age.

It will be competence.

They know it's the season.

It's someone learning now.

One of the ways Satan has shitted people is to amplify your appetite for things before their season, and then you begin to drive.

You have a desire to get things whereas is not the season.

Try to plug a mango from a mango tree when it's not the season, and you see how difficult it is.

You will be throwing stones until you break the glass of someone else.

But when it is the season, you are in bed and you see mangoes falling like rain.

You come out in the morning and you literally have to pick seasons.

Come with your advantage.

Hallelujahs.

Someone learning now.

This is very powerful.

Why do you discourage young girls, teenagers and young boys and tell them no going around, no partying.

Speaker 3

No this, and that.

Speaker 1

You know why eventually the will get married.

The parents who are prohibiting them know that one day they'll be giving the liberty to raise their own families.

But not this season.

It's someone learning now.

I can tell you this.

One of the ways Satan destroys you is to push you forward before your season, because when it is not your season, you don't have the equipping to manage the opportunities, not the challenges that come with it.

There are things we call delay that is not delay.

God is marking your time until there is a synchrony of divine seasons.

There was a season that if Jesus was exposed, you would have died.

It's in your Bible.

God had to say, take him back and hide him until Herod dies, and God kept watching.

When Herod died, he said, now you can bring the boy out.

Imagine if Jesus was born and he said, oh dear.

The reason why Jesus did not die as a baby was not because he was the son of God.

It was because an angel appeared and told Joseph, they're going to kill people.

Run with this child.

If every other person in rama had that opportunity to their children will be saved someone learning.

The reason why Moses did not die with all the children in his generation was because God moved someone and they hid him.

The Bible said, knowing that he was a proper child, they hit him in a basket there are seasons when the devil launches attacks over people.

But because people do not understand, those who can pick it just sense that for the next one month, it's like the devil is trying to look for blood within a territory.

I will tell you this.

I'll tell you a story one time, and I said this with a sad heart.

There was a plane crashing this nation many years ago.

The time that plane crash was to happen, I traveled to one of the regions.

As I was flying in the air, this is true, I sensed in my spirit that there were territorial spirits over the airwaves.

It was like there was a covenant that was crying for blood.

I sensed this in the air.

I started praying in the spirit.

Nothing happened with our own aircraft.

We landed, and then while we were returning, we were returning back to Cano.

That was when there was a plane crash.

It was when I arrived that I saw people trying to call to find out if I was in that aircraft.

Now, really sad that there are people who went away.

But you can begin to sense things seasons.

Let me tell you this.

If you understand the message I'm teaching you tonight.

You have cheated the devil forever, because there is no way the devil will trap you.

Many things that happened to people.

If you learn the things I'm about to show you now, you will see that there was It's like Heaven was trying to say, see, I'm sending you sick nows.

But because our faculties are not trained to understand the impulses of the spirit, it happens, and people say, ah, what happened?

Now the discerning spirits are we learning?

So the decigning of seasons, there are many things that you will avoid.

When you can discern seasons, you can know when it is not a season for a thing.

And even though a door is open before you, you will not go because the backing that supports that season is not yet there.

The opportunity is there, but the spiritual knowledge, the system of defense is not yet there.

Are we together now?

This is very powerful, very very powerful.

And then you also know when to start end gaging in warfare because you know it is your season.

And the devil listen, let me tell you this Satan is many things except a fool.

He can pray on your patience to wait for seasons and allow even when the seasons have elapsed, he would deceive you that you are still in a process, whereas there is already a green light in the spirit.

It is the ability to descend season.

You say, no, no, no, this does not add up.

Now you begin to pray.

As you pray, you will now say that there's already angelic assistance signed to push you into that new season.

I sense in my spirit for someone what you are calling process finished long ago is the devil manipulating you into believing that you are still in a process.

In the name of Jesus, I came here tonight to announce you that you are going to bet a new season by the spirit of God.

You will bet a new season by the spirit of God.

You will but a new season by the spirit of God.

Allelujah.

There was a time in my life as a man of God when I knew it was not my season.

But there was a time I knew that the light has come.

Allelujah.

There was a time I would never I would not worry about certain things.

Listen, you need to know your day of visitation.

Are we together now?

Yes?

You need to know it.

You need to know it.

You need to know when they announcing for your destinies coming, so that you position yourself to receive it.

You need to know when to start praying, or you need to know when to receive answers.

Please be seated.

The signing of times and the signing of seasons.

This is the first level of discernment.

There are number of things that begin to happen to men.

Ah you see, believe us.

Let me teach you something.

The Bible says the spirit of man.

This spirit of man, you see, is a mystery.

It is the candle of the Lord.

And provide that that spirit is connected to that fire.

You always know when seasons are coming, when seasons are rapping up.

I have taught you.

Let me recap for you again, and then we'll go to the next and one us we'll focus on spirits.

Four things happen when a season is about to change.

I taught you in this house.

If you forgot, let me remind you again.

Let me see how many of them I can quickly bring when a ceasing is about to change in your life.

Number one, there is an unusual desire and an unusual grace to pray and on you usual desire and unusual grace to pray, especially to pray alone.

Corporate prayer is wonderful, but you sense a grace pulling you, hallelujah, pulling you away from the crowd, away from activities, and you find God drawing you alone.

There are things He wants to show you alone, the grace to pray, and for many of us, when you get to that point, Satan brings a counter distraction legitimate reasons.

And then you find out seasons are passing and the grace to pray is boiling within you, but you are not able to take advantage of it.

When the season passes, the grace lifts, and then you don't know what has happened.

Again, hallelujah.

Is somebody learning now?

Yes?

Number two are on n usual grace to give When a season is about to change.

There is an usual grace to give.

It's true, it's true.

Sacrificial giving is like a grace rests on you, and at that point it's as if you can give anything.

Sometimes you even question if you are not being manipulated.

It's not about the giving.

These are indicators of seasons.

Number three.

When a season is about to change, there is unusual angelic and demonic activities.

Two of them together because you see the angels signify revelations, and when demonic spirits see angelic movements, they know that they're excelling strength and the answer to the word of God and the answer to seasons.

Immediately you find out that all kinds of demonic attacks they come using offense, they come using hatred, dreams, slumber, compromise.

Anything the devil can bring to aborts that season.

That's his desire.

And if you do not have the discernment understaying power, you will lose that season.

You will lose that season someone learning.

The fourth thing that happens, if truly there are many, but let me try and give you one more.

The fourth thing that happened when his season is coming is God will usually send a word, because a word is the key that opens up seasons.

He will send a word.

It will come in dreams, it will come through prophecies, it will come through someone.

As I'm speaking now, caesars cannot open outside of the world of God.

There wants be a preceding word, a proceeding word that comes from God.

Allelujah.

I can tell you, based on the reference of this test, some of you right now as you are hearing me.

You don't need a prophetic world.

You know seasons are changing.

By what I'm telling you.

Now, you know it.

You know it the grace to give when others are sleeping, you're waking up and you've been asking God, what is it?

And can I tell you this?

Sometimes the prayers have no prayer points.

God, jo says, pray.

He won't tell you why pray.

You are praying tongues.

Okay, give me a clue.

Lord, let me understand.

He doesn't want you to be distracted.

If it shows you the warfare that your prayer is dealing with, fear will not even allow you continue.

He will blind you from the vision and just allow you to focus in prayer.

It is true, it is true.

It's after the prophecy has been birthed.

Then you will now show you what you're dealing with.

That's how ministries are birthed, That's how dimensions are sustained, that's how people in march.

But most believers are doll of both hearing and training.

They do not know, so when seasons happened like this, they just know that I mean an unusual season.

I don't know what it is about.

And then they lose the season, and then it moves like the hand of a clock.

Years become wasted, years turned to decades.

And then sometimes we prayer and said, God, but are you not faithful?

And God will say, I came many times, I came and I knocked.

I came and I knocked.

But because you've not been strained to see the light.

Listen, how do you think the magi got to snow?

That was Jesus.

There was a star.

That star appeared according to a certain season, and the magi came.

When they told Herold, he said, we're looking for this and that Herold said, all right, you go.

When you find the child, tell me.

And then he called his astrologers.

He said, go and open the book.

Check what was the season for the manifestation of the Siah?

And they said truly, based on what they saw, this is the time.

He said, find, kill the children, find everybody.

I come.

Speaker 6

In the volume of the book, it was written about me, to do your we, Lord God, I come.

Speaker 1

In the volume of the book, it was written about to do your God.

I will do well, will do your we.

Speaker 4

To lo.

Speaker 1

Lord, I will do all we do to allelujah, allelujah, We're going to print the spirit for the next two minutes.

Further, every season that is before me, I obtain greace to discign it.

I will not have bought seasons.

I will not waste seasons.

You have said, when the days of your power, I align myself in the spirit, going only your pray.

A global family connecting online pray.

Shapra cat up like a taparaca, written in prophecy, Written in prophecy, Larry be made manifest in this season.

Written already in prophecy, written in the scrolls of the spirit, Lardy be made manifest in this season.

Chapra catap like a tappara, doors crack, cards, lack attire.

One minute praying the spirit.

Be serious, praying the spirit.

For some you are in your season of lifting.

For some you are in your season of testing.

For some you are in the season of manifestation.

Chapa times and seasons.

And of the sons of Isaka, men who are an understanding of the times.

They knew what Israel ought to do.

Chapratie in Jesus' name, we pray.

In Jesus name, we pray.

When we started ministrying, the Lord told me something.

He said I should focus on building men and not concentrate on structures.

Because I'm somebody who, by by my personality, I like order.

I like to go forward.

And I said, I mean, what does it take.

We can put anything together, block by block, build something.

But the Lord told me, he said, focus on building.

Men.

Leave the issue of structures and buildings.

It was an unusual part, and for a long time, even when we had lands, there was no talk of building.

There were times I considered it, but every time I just knew it was not the season.

At the point I said, look, let me say with God, I hope that I'm not the one delaying.

Is certain destiny in this ministry.

But when the season came, I'll tell you this.

I was waiting, maybe until later in the future.

What I'll tell you this where God gave us us a property.

I stood there five years ago and the Lord said, I will give you displace.

A few people here aware he said, I will give you displace.

But it would have been stupid for me to at that time.

Now begin to fight in the flesh.

You see.

God can show you something, but you must find out what season is that thing supposed to come into your life.

If not, you will start fighting.

The fighting the flesh.

He told you you're a mighty man of God.

Now you were starting, are you?

Nobody is listening to you.

It's as if God did not call you.

It's because graces and manifestations are connected to seasons.

Are we together now?

Yes?

When the season came, one thing led to another.

But I mean immediately it came, God walked out everything by his spirit.

Seasons seasons.

I remember one of the lands we bought in Zaria.

For a long time, we kept looking around, where we are we going to get a large land and all of that, And I was thinking to myself, where where?

For God's sake?

One day, when I was not even praying about it, I just had a dream.

No, no, no, I think I was.

I just was praying and I rested my head a bit, and then it was in the spirit.

I saw myself standing opposed the teaching hospital.

I said, is there a property like that there?

I called someone back home.

I said, please go and check is there something like that?

And the rest is history.

That's how God gave us all the properties that we have.

Let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, One of the if you are struggling too much in making something happen by your flesh.

Stand back.

That's the first thing.

Just stand back and ask yourself.

Number one is God?

Is this?

Number two?

Is this the season?

Two questions who most answer?

Because seasons come with ease.

There is a measure of ease that comes with seasons.

It's someone learning.

Now, Allelujah, We're going to pray one more time.

I don't know what season you are in, but in the name of Jesus, do you know what we do today called sound of Reviver?

I saw it many years ago and I was wondering.

I never would have imagined that we will start international conferences first before we do national conference.

It's not the pattern or ministry.

You don't start overseas then you come back home.

But that's the foolishness of the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

If you are if you are open and foolish enough, I'm malyable to follow him.

It may be unconventional, but your life will be a sign and a wonder.

Are we together now pray the name of the Lord.

When the season came, I knew the season came, and all the graces and every kind of resource human material aligned itself.

We're going to pray everybody shout this after me, and let it be from the depth of your heart.

Save Father, I receive grace to step in to every prophecy allotted for this season.

I will not miss it through carelessness.

I will not miss it through lack of discernment.

Open your mouth and pray one minute.

If this season is for your lifting, then prassop to step into it.

If this is a season of warfare, obtain grace to push through in the spirit until you emerge.

If this is a season of training, obtain grace to stay and not run around until you are built, until you are furnished for the seasons that are before you.

In Jesus name, we pray, Please be seated, Please be seated.

I once prayed for a man.

It's a true story.

Very good man, very gifted, very skilled.

But for a strange reason, he was qualified for a certain position.

But there seemed to be a lot of sentiments.

And for a while we prayed together, but it looked like nothing was happening.

And at a point you could see that his heart was disappointed in God.

And one day I was praying and God gave me a word for him.

Then I reached this man and I tell him.

The Lord says, I should tell you fear not, do not be dismayed x y Z.

And the Lord says, I should tell you that even though it looked like it was people antagonizing you, but God allowed that antagonism to keep you until a certain season.

Do you know true story.

I'm not going to mention names just for honor.

When a season came in a very strange way, they opened a new department that gave an oversea privilege.

And that was how they put it.

Because every other person ahead of him had gone and there was no basis of lifting anyone except him.

And if they had their way, they will relinquish every position for that new one.

Because that new one came, he had better packages, He was connected to institutions abroad and based on merriage.

There was no way around it because everyone who fought him had been promoted.

He was the only one.

There was no way to look down on him.

I said, the wisdom of God there are men.

Listen.

There are times where God is silent, even when it looks like the enemy is fighting you.

If you see God look weak, he has found a way of walking glory through it.

Just be patient, listen to what I'm telling you.

There are times that men will mock you and talk and God keeps quiet like he's not watching.

Relaxed the God.

I know he has found a way around him to bad glory.

Now, sometimes the devil will lure you to interrupt what he's doing.

I hope you know that.

I'm sure if I were one of Jesus's disciples, maybe I would have tried fighting those people out of zeal, not knowing that my fighting them out of zeal will be aborting the plan of salvation.

Comparison can lead you to fight God many times.

It's not only an evil heart.

Is the reason why believers must be spiritual.

They must be trained to be spiritual.

Number two is the reason why you never compare yourself.

Comparison will havebort many precious seasons in your life.

I can tell you stories after stories of things that happened to people, and as at the time it was happening, they were angry.

If they had their chance, they would tell God change this.

But looking on hid side, they would turn back and say, Lord, thank you, thank you.

Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord.

If you had asked Joseph, create your own way to fulfilling the prophecy that was on your head.

You know what Joseph would say, from my father's house, let Pharaoh call me, and then let me move straight from my father's house to the throne.

If that worked, you will be one of the most fullish prime ministers.

Because pain would not have taught him anything.

He would have taken many things in life for granted or looked the route I have taught you in this house.

When sincerity and righteousness leads you to trouble, the story is not ended.

When sincerity and righteousness leads you into trouble and it looks like serving God has no profit, find rest.

My God is working something out.

I can tell you this fine rest.

Find rest, my dear sister.

Are we together?

Find rest, my dear brother.

Every time righteousness does not seem to profit, be patient.

There is a season of reward.

There is a serious season of reward.

I'm looking at Jesus in my vision and my imagination walking down the streets of gold gotter, and I'm looking at women looking at him and says something is wrong.

I can't understand.

It doesn't add up.

You call yourself savior.

We went to the temple it's written in the books that you will save the world.

What is the meaning of this?

In Naked Man, the Man who Raised the Dead, you could imagine the people who benefited from his crusades just watching him to say, we're being sclam.

Even the disciples themselves got angry.

They were offended.

He had wasted three and a half years of their lives, and it was like a ship that was led to the slaughter.

Had the power to save himself and the whole world, but he kept quiet because it was a season.

He said, it is your hour and the power of darkness.

It is your hour.

I have the power to call a legion of angels.

Pontos Pila said, do you not know that I have the power to deliver?

He said no, no, no, no, no, no no, You've gone too far.

No man can do this.

Accept it.

It's given on to him.

It is your hour and the power of darkness.

Jesus is led like a sheep, and you can imagine Satan feeling very fulfilled that finally he's used men to trap Jesus and aboard salvation.

He's hanging on the cross, the nails to his hand, to his feet, his side, blood and water Gosh out.

The Bible says, finally he gives up the ghosts.

And you would think that was the end of the story.

But that was only a change of season.

The Bible says, as soon as he died, the sun disappeared.

I mean, the cloud was covered and the temple cotton was rent from top to bottom.

And when that happened, after three he resurrected, it was a new season.

Ladies and gentlemen, I will tell you this before we finish this issue of Season.

We can spend all night year, but I need to talk about spirits when you are going through seasons, and Worship Team sang it very beautifully.

You may not know the reason.

You may not know what it is that God is saying.

Don't expect God to always give you explanations.

That's why believers must be trained to work by faith.

The one who works by faith works trusting the world of God.

I may not have all the answers, but I trust you as a good shepherd.

We live in the world where we never take a step onto We are and asshurance driven generation, insurance driven generation, guarantee driven generation.

Unfortunately, the work of a spiritual man is not like that.

There are many times the mission will be follow me.

You will not know the name of what you and God are doing.

You just keep following, sometimes like a madman.

But in the midst of that's that you will see an oasis, and that the things you will learn on the way is what keeps you powerful when you arrive.

I'm speaking a word of comfort to someone.

If you don't have a definition as to what is happening between you and God, it's called faith.

Faith.

Believers must be taught to live by faith.

To live by faith means to work based on the conviction that He knows the thoughts that it thinks towards you, that they are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to bring you an expected end.

Oh, I believe him.

I may not understand what he's doing, but I know that my path will always lead to life, that my path, everything in my life only goes forward.

There's no going backward.

It's like you are inside an aircraft when you are flying from any region to any region.

How many of you know that sometimes you may need to want to use the restroom, and depending on where it's located, let's assums at the back you will be walking backward.

In the aircraft.

But are you going back?

Overall you are going forward.

That's how your destiny is.

You may be going back inside the situation, but overall, from the hands of prophecy, you are going forward.

You would have looked at Joseph and called it delay, called it backwardness, But Joseph was actually going forward.

That was the only way to the throne.

Let me professy over someone in the name of Jesus, your pain, your shame, your disappointments.

I decree by the power that raised Christ from the dead.

May it move you first tart to prophecy.

First start to prophecy.

First time to prophecy.

All the things they said about you or did not say about you, all the things they did to you or did not do to you, Let it add together like the ingredients of a meal, and move you to prophecy.

In the name of Jesus Christ.

Please be seated.

Because they did not know their time of visitation.

They did not know their time of visitation.

For a long time in this ministry we never had any special programs, no convention, no conferences.

And you would wonder why.

I mean, aside from the miracle services and the rest, there was nothing at all that will bring the globe.

But when the season came, God gave the word.

And when God gives the word, every testimony you see from this nation and around the world, it's not because of a super powerful, superhuman man of God.

There are certain things that are season advantage if you can discern certain seasons and aligned properly.

Are we together now?

A man who plays football exceptionally well.

He can juggle the ball and even use his fingers, But he's fifty five years Will he ever be recognized as far as playing for any nation or club side is concerned.

Speaker 6

No?

Speaker 1

Do you know why?

No matter how gifted he is, the best he can be is a coach, no longer a player.

The season for that, as accurate and powerful as it is, the season is past.

A politician who becomes a governor or president or any other person, as we have it in our nation and other nations, is just for two, ten years or four years each.

Are we together?

There are governors right now who's exhausted their time.

There are presidents who've exhausted their time.

Once it is your season and it is over, full stop, that's it.

You go, whether you like it or not.

Isn't it amazing how it is seasons.

There are children who wish not to leave your parents, but unfortunately, when they get to certain age, the parents will call them.

As a young man.

At your age, I was already out of my house.

I'm officially ushering you out of my door.

You are a visitor from today.

You are my son.

But your visitor be on your way.

I've given you the word of God.

Here's my little support.

Go and make your life work.

Seasons.

Most people fear seasons because many seasons push you out of your comfort zone.

Many seasons make you to do things you've never done before.

Let me speak to someone.

Don't be afraid when seasons change.

The only way to move forward is when seasons change.

As they change, if you can ride with the tide, then by the grace of God, you get to the place of prophecy.

Every spirit of fear that is stopping you from stepping into new seasons.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

How many of you know that as a young man starists.

One day you have to build your house.

Am I right on that?

One day you will have to raise your family?

Am I?

Right on that?

Now we're live in a world where people are afraid of daring new things.

You are used to staying with your parents, and then you are staying in a little house that you are renting, and they are paying for you.

And God tells you his time right now.

He is a god of potions to push you.

There are people who are at their totally listen.

They are afraid of anything that puts them in a position of leadership.

They fear it because they will not be pampered again.

You will be the brain behind things and the chief risk taker, and they don't like it.

Every fear, let me say that, every fear that is stopping you from taking advantage of seasons and moving to the next level.

I decree and declare that spirit of fear stopping you from building, stopping you from getting a job, stopping you from going forward.

In Jesus's name, I cost that spirit right now.

Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord.

Let's go to number two, four levels of discernment.

Let's see how far we're able to cover you learning now discerning times and seasons.

When I least all four, I will tell you how to grow and how to prime your discernment.

Number two, the second level of discernment is discerning what the Holy Spirit is doing.

Discerning what the Holy Spirit is doing, or discerning activities that I engineered by the Holy Spirit, brought forth by the Holy Spirit.

Discerning what the Holy Spirit is doing.

That's the second level of discernment, discerning what the Holy Spirit is doing.

Most people have not been trained to know when it is the Holy Spirit that is behind a thing.

There are times that a thing can look very controversial and yet it's still the Holy Spirit behind it.

You must sustain intelligence to understand how God leads, how the Holy Spirit functions.

Inasmuch as he functions like the wind John three to eight.

The wind blows where it listeth.

You cannot tell where it goes nor where it comes.

So is everyone that is born of the spirit.

However, there are biblical indices that can tell you an activity, no matter how mysterious and supernatural it is.

You can know whether it is the Holy Spirit that is behind it or another spirit.

And I'm going to show you now.

Please let me your attention.

First off, have this at the back of your mind, that the Holy Spirit is on earth, He's not in heaven.

From the time the Holy Spirit came officially to begin the dispensation of the Church.

There's no record in scripture that is gone back in heaven.

Jesus said, I have many things to tell you, but he cannot bear them.

Now, how be it when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you.

So the Holy Spirit was to come.

In fact, the Bible says in one of the renditions that he is with you and shall be in you.

Hallelujah.

So the Holy Spirit of ficially began his dispensation, and he began it with the dispensation of the Church on the day of Pentecost.

Until then there was no record except for Jesus, the son of the Holy Spirit, permanently in dwelling anyone.

The Bible says, because Jesus had not been glorified.

The condition to receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is that you needed to have righteousness equal to that of Jesus, and no one could attend on to that state.

Are we together?

And so it was when Jesus died, he resurrected as sended on high, and then gave us the gift of his righteousness.

If and when we believe in his substitutionary sacrifice then it makes way to receiving the promise of the Father, which is the Holy Spirit.

The Bible says Christ has redeemed us from the cause of the law being made a cause for us.

For it is written, course is everyone that hangeth on a tree, that the blessing of Abraham justification by faith might come upon we, the gentiles, that we now haven't been justified by faith, we might receive the promise of the Spirit true faith.

Are we together?

So the Holy Spirit officially began his dispensation in believers, birthing the church and in dwelling the believer from the day of Pentecost, and from that time, ladies and gentlemen, up until now, and it will continue until this dispensation is over.

The Holy Spirit it's on the earth.

When you know that the Holy Spirit is right here, you will know that the Church cannot fail.

Sometimes we take the issue of the church too personal, as so if we don't help God it to fail.

The church will never fail.

Men can fail, denominations can fail, but God's program for the Church cannot fail because the Holy Spirit is behind it.

The Holy Spirit was one of the guarantees Are we together that ensured that Jesus did not fail.

Even if every man of God in the Church decides to leave God, God's program will see not fail.

The Holy Spirit, for you, most people do not know how powerful he is.

Let me tell you how powerful he is.

He's the whole spirit of the leaving Gun.

He's the whole Egos.

He's the Sapta of the King golf Kings.

He's the whole egos spirit of the Age to come.

He's changing everything you know.

Be the end, Superchrist.

I'll singing one more time.

He's the whole egos.

He's the spirit of the leaving God.

He's the whole egost sceptier of the King golf Kags.

He's the whole egos seal of the Age to come.

He's changing everything you know.

Bedian Surprise is rebuilding.

The Holy Spirit is not a weak spirit.

He's a master architect.

He knows how to build.

He knows how to make anything work.

The Church will not fail, not because of the dexterity of the vessels there, because of the one who has been sent, the paraclet A lost Paracletus, the one who is an extension of the ministry of Jesus, the standby the advocates, the guide, the teacher, the comforter, the strengthener, the Spirit of God.

When there was chaos in Genesis one and verse two, he was there.

In Ezekael thirty seven, he was there the Holy Spirit for you.

So if you think the church is broken, find rest.

He's there.

He's a rebuilder.

He can turn bones to become an army.

Is the reason why in this season you will see any imagines of weak men, he will breath upon them, and he will raise a mighty army for himself.

Attain to the bones of the value of eequel men who are not qualified by the sentiments of men, but who will still breath upon them and make a mighty clonius intomitable army out of ordinary men.

Halleluj do many of them.

In fact, the Holy Spirit, generally speaking, as we have been taught in this house, has a threefold ministry.

The Holy Spirit has a ministry to creation.

He is the life giving force behind creation.

I know we have different kinds of life.

As we learn, there's biological life bias, we have psychological life.

We have all kinds of life.

So we've been the highest that is known to man.

The life of God.

But regardless, the different levels of life still come from one source.

It is all the life of God.

It is just friend expressions of the life of God.

Are we together by us?

Is still the life of God.

Anything that is alive and never finds its frame, it is because the ministry of the Holy Spirit acted upon it.

Darkness turning to light is still the Holy Spirit.

The rivers, the rocks the Holy Spirit.

That's why the our scientific understanding, whoever has breath has personhood.

So you are not called a thing, you are called everyone.

But the Bible says, let everything the rocks have life, the earth have life.

That's why the prophet can say, o, earth hear ye the word of the Lord.

Let everything that has breath.

Jesus said, if you will not praise me, I will raise of stones because they are alive.

Dry bones had life in them, and on that a certain condition.

They heard the word of the Lord and came back.

Your situation can hear once it exists, it is because it has life.

Number two, the Holy Spirit has a ministry to unbelievers, the ministry of conviction.

He convicts them of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment.

The Bible says, he brings them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, like the men in Emmaus, like the men who were saved on the Day of Pentecos.

They were cut to the heart by the Holy Ghost, and they said, men and brethren, what do we do?

It says, repent for the remission of your sin, and you will receive this promise, for the promises onto you, to your children, your children's children, and so on and so forth.

Hallelujah.

But then the Holy Spirit has a ministry to believe us, the ministry of empowerment, the ministry of guidance, the ministry of direction.

Bringing all the gifts and the spiritual resources that make for your working in victory.

He imports them into your spirit by faith and through the mystery of alignment, so that you become a dex terroors believer that is ready to work in victory.

All by the Spirit.

He is the one who guides the Church articulously into her prophetic destiny.

Ladies and gentlemen, many things that are happening on earth are engineered by demon spirits.

But there are things that are engineered by the Holy Spirit.

And I want to give you three tests to know what is by the Spirit very quickly.

If someone learning say Amen, Three tests to know when the Holy Spirit is behind any move.

Three tests to know when the Holy Spirit is the one who is behind any activity.

Number one.

The Holy Spirit always confirms the Word and reveals Jesus.

Test number one.

The Holy Spirit always confirms the Word and reveals Jesus.

When the Holy Spirit is behind any activity, there will always be a confirmation of the Word and the revelation of Jesus.

Everywhere you see scriptures confirmed.

Everyone where you see the Word of God coming to pass in the life of an individual a people, it is engineered by the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will always confirm the Word and always reveal Jesus.

Can I give you number two.

Please do not forget this.

Do not forget this number two.

Every time the Holy Spirit is behind a move, the fruit of the Spirit must also follow.

The fruit of the Spirit is the fragrance that follows any activity.

Where the Holy Spirit is involved.

You can find a similitude of the power of God.

You can find a similitude of the supernatural.

But if the fruit of the Spirit, a compendium of the character of the Christ, is missing in that equation, then something is wrong the fruit of the spirit.

Don't despise the fruit of the spirit.

It is the fragrance that follows anything.

The Bible says.

The Kingdom of God, for instance, is in righteousness, peace and joy, righteousness, peace and joy.

So when the Holy Ghost is behind the thing, no matter the warfare involved, no matter whatever it is that is involved, you must find expressions of the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace.

I give you an example in Ants chapter eight.

When you read from verse five.

The Bible says, Philip went down to Samaria, and there you preach Christ onto them, to tell you the Holy Ghost was behind it.

They gave heed everyone to the things that Philip speak, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.

Verse seven says for uncleaned spirits, you know, went out of them that were possessed, and those who are pousies and were lamed, they were healed.

Bible says verse eight, And there was great everybody, say joy, you see one of the fruits of the spirit.

There a fragrance that followed the move of the spirit.

Great joy did you see the same thing happened to the jailer in Act chapter sixteen.

After the jailer received the glad tidings.

The same man who was about to kill himself, but as the gospel came to him and his family, there was joy.

If you only focus on power and you don't find the fruits of the Spirit, you will be deceived and misled.

Away together.

Now, always watch for the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit.

It's like a perfume that comes from everything the Holy Spirit is doing.

There is joy, there is peace, there is righteousness consistent with the Word of God.

Away together, number three.

Everything.

When the Holy Spirit is involved in anything, it eventually watched the It eventually reveals the glory of God.

In the lives of the men.

The Holy Spirit is an upholder of dignity.

He eventually reveals or birds the glory of God.

When the Holy goost is behind anything, the glory of God must eventually come out and come through through the life of those individuals.

Now, let me tell you this.

His processes sometimes can be controversial, like telling n'man to go and wash seven times.

Perhaps, if I were the one assessing that situation, I will call what's his name, Elisha diviner.

For sure, I'll say, Elisha, you need to want check what spirit led you because this one, I don't think it's of God's off that Jesus himself spatched on the ground and tooks put tom and put in the eyes of people.

Now, let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, there's a balance to this, and I want you to listen very carefully.

There are many people because of the extremes we find in the Bible as to the operation of the spirit.

Sometimes there are a lot of people in the Body of Christ in Nigeria, unfortunately, and across Africa who have brought a lot of extra biblical practices and they have given an endorsement to it, saying that the Holy Spirit works in mysterious ways.

I agree, But let me tell you this, anything that reduces human dignity is not a blessing.

Are we together?

The time human dignity was reduced in the Bible, when a man became a beast, it was recorded as judgment.

It was not a blessing.

Anything that turns people the zenate of God's creation to become like what they call it now beasts.

Whether through the practices that happen in church, are we together?

There are certain practices within the Body of Christ that honestly must be reviewed quickly, and it must stop manipulated practices not by the spirit of God.

I'm not talking about the extremes like dehumanizing human beings and talking about them.

Those ones are already out of the window.

But there are other subtle practices.

Anything that manipulates men, you sobs their will.

I'll tell you this.

The move of the spirit never forces people beyond their will.

When the Holy goss is the one engineering any process, there must be an agreement.

Are we together now?

Salvation is the highest, nobless and the greatest gift God gave man.

And even at the expense of your eternal destiny.

God will not force you to be saved.

God can insist on a man, but when you choose, as an act of your will to reject him, he will respect your will.

Are we together?

If I tell you give me twenty in era, are you must give me by force?

And if you don't give me you would die to said the Lord.

You see, that's manipulation.

You can judge spirits immediately because number one, fear are you saying that you don't find the fruit of the spirit there.

When an angel appears to men, what does he tell them first?

Fear not.

It is human to be afraid, but fear not many of the practices that happen that are purported to the Holy Spirit.

You see that number one, it does not confirm the word.

Number two, it does not reveal Jesus Christ.

You hardly find Jesus revealed.

There are we together now, very very important.

In addition to that, we don't find the fruit of the spirit.

That's why I told you the teaching ministry.

In this ministry, by the message of God, no matter what I'm teaching you, it cannot leave you with fear, doubt, to leave you broken.

The end of it is victory, because that's what the Spirit of Christ is, the spirit of victory.

If I teach you on rapture, I'm not going to leave you afraid wondering.

So it means I'm dead like this, That means another spirit manipulated me.

At the end of it, I must leave you with the assurance of salvation and show you the path to rest.

Who is learning now prays the name of the Lord.

There are many, so too manipulative practices that we proport to the Spirit of God.

But on checking it from the lens of God's word, it is not the Holy Spirit.

A good man can be influenced by multiple spirits.

You can do things that you believe sincerely is of God, but when you check it from the lens of the world, sometimes it comes through poor mentorship.

A sincere menty blindly followed his mentor and landed in trouble every time.

The Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit and ancest human dignity.

Now for a while, there are practices that may not make sense.

Listen, don't misunderstand me.

For instance, what does it mean to shout?

What does it mean to jump?

What does it mean to roll?

If you see that immediately, to look like an abuse of human dignity, But it is a mystery.

Those who are in Christ understand it.

The end of it is glory.

You get the point that the process may seem sometimes controversial, It may make you childish, it may make you child like, but at the end of it, it will enhance your dignity.

Paul and Silas praying and singing in prison.

It looks like an insult to intelligence.

What an intelligent person should be doing is trying to make friends with the jailer.

But they prayed and they sang.

Eventually dignity was restored?

Is someone learning now?

You can test whether it's the Holy Spirit who is behind the things that are happening.

The teachings question, is it revealing Jesus in your life?

Is it confirming the world?

Is the fruit of the Spirit growing in you?

For every time you listen to the teachings on this altar, are you becoming more like Christ?

Beyond becoming like a man?

Are you becoming more like Christ?

Is someone learning now?

And then?

Is it hand seeing your dignity?

Yes, sometimes you fall, sometimes you shout, sometimes you fly as though you were shot through a gun.

But all those activities does it end up making you powerful?

There are many, many people, with all due respect, who sit on the suppose that graces and the longer they stay, the Mother becomes something else.

They are not like Christ.

The fruit of the Spirit does not proceed from the salmons, does not proceed from the principles and the practices.

I can tell you this by the authority of scripture.

That is a right to question the spirit that is influencing those operations when it has to do it.

The ministry of error and the ministry of deception and all of that, there are two categories.

There are people who are willfully deceive us.

They are not of God, They are manipulators, they are matchans.

Unfortunately, again, we can only pray that God will bring them to the saving knowledge of the truth.

But there are people who are sincere, but they themselves do not know that they are being manipulated at different levels.

I give you an example.

Selling an idea of hate does not bring the glory of God.

You will never redeem a people through hate.

You can be sincere.

You can be anointed, and you can give yourself through your pain, through your failures, through your biases and sentiments.

You can give it demonic Spirit access to a portion of your understanding.

He will use scripture and influence an operation through you that does not the glory of God.

So he looks at Peter and says, get the behind me.

You will be changed.

His glory will be revealed when the Spirit, I'll sing you one more time.

You will be changed.

His glory will be revealed when the Spirit takes over your soul.

The Holy Spirit enhance his lives.

There is no mystery you bring to the body of Christ.

That destroys men, keeps them in fear, makes them canal, makes them slaves, that is of the spirit.

It is not a genuine sincere man can communicate the doctrine of demons.

And I say this loving the body of Christ.

Sometimes we need to take away our pain and our anger, our prejudices.

How many of you know look at me.

If I am somebody would generally buy my background.

I embrace modesty away together, whether by upbringing or whatever.

The day I see someone looking a bit flashy, my mindset can easily interpret the person has been canal and it may not be so.

It is just that we're a different person.

And sometimes we allow our sentiments, cultural sentiments, philosophical sentiments to tamper with the integrity of scripture.

And we interpret men and systems from the lens of our sentiments, and we draw on healthy conclusions.

I can be a very modest person and then I see someone driving a JEP and I say, most likely this guy's a demon.

It's not the spirit of God.

And I may be a very annoyted man of God, but that statement does not come from God.

One thing people need to know is that the spirit of man can accommodate the operation of several spirits.

You don't have to be possessed, but certain looks for an opportunity every time to slip through your mind and tell you things and cost you to do things.

And if you do not understand the word of God, I tell you, sincerely, ladies and gentlemen, you will fall victim of certain things.

You will call what God is doing demonic, and sometimes you will call what God is not doing of God simply because it appeals to your pattern.

Hallelujah.

I give you an example.

If I call a gentleman right now and I use prophecy and expose everything in his life, and I insult him, and I say, you know what, you are not a good person.

Get away.

There are people within the body of Christ who will feel very bad.

Why did you have to embarrass this guy.

You would have been able to talk to him in a way that communicates love.

But there are people who will be happy and said, that's right, that's how it should be done.

I can tell you this.

You have to keep away sentiments and take the Bible.

The way Jesus corrected men in the Book of Revelation was that he first commended them for what they did.

Then he lovingly pointed out what was wrong and told them the consequences that will follow should there not listen to him.

That is the character of the spirit of the Christ.

Any operasion that demands that you give up the law of love.

Remember my discipleship teaching, there are certain fundamental things all believers must have.

One working in love, two living by faith.

Three exalting the Word of God above every other thing.

Four death to self.

You still remember, they are pilers his desires for all men to be saved.

No matter the spirit that moves upon me to tell somebody it is over with your life.

You are forsaken.

It's over.

I will never prophesy that.

I would rather check myself and rebuke that spirit, because I can george spirit within me.

I will know that it's the devil who wants to take advantage of my faculties, and I will not give it.

Expression who is learning now.

I used to watch Kenneth Hagen, and Kenneth Hagan will be prophesying, and there's some of the videos like that, once he's prophesying, you hear him say no, no, no, no no.

I wouldn't say that this is not the word of God, it's not consistent with the word of God.

He's prophesying.

But as he's prophesying, he's judging spirit himself.

He uses the lens of the word of God, and when he's about to say something, he's not ashamed to say it.

He say no, no, no, I can't say this.

This is not a spirit of God.

There's no love here, there's not this here.

And you see him.

That's how he prophesied no one that he lasted and outlasted many people.

I will never listen, I will rebuke, I will correct in love, but I will never sell far.

I will never sell hate, I will never sell hopelessness.

These are anti systems of the Kingdom.

For him that is joined to the living, there is always hope.

The message of Christ will rebuke, will correct, but will leave you with hope.

And all of that will be garnished with the law of love.

Who understands me so far?

It's true.

So you see, when we are helping the body of Christ to mature, there are three groups we're dealing with.

Number one, there are those who sadly have come promise on your faith.

They are not given off Christ in the first place.

Or number two, they have not truly submitted to the governing influence of the spirit.

Category Number one that's the one most attention goes to.

But number two, there are those of us who are genuinely safe, righteous, holy.

We love God sincerely, but we have allowed a lot of anti Christ's sentiments to tamp out with our interpretation of things.

And simply because on one hand we can see the glory of God manifest, we can confuse that to mean everything we hear, everything we see, and everything that comes out of us is automatically of God.

Is a lie.

The Bible says, let a man examine himself.

He was talking to believe us.

It is possible for the devil to suggest something to me, to say, or to behave in a certain way that is inconsistent with Christ.

That's how you stand by the word of God, who is learning.

Now this is very important, very important, very important.

If you don't understand this, you would destroy many lives innocently, not by doing evil things, but by not properly aligning to how the Holy Spirit ministers.

The Spirit of God is called the spirit of life.

Everybody say that after me, said the spirit of life.

Said again, said the Spirit of life.

The Bible says, the love of God was shared abroad by the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit does not endorse people and leaves them in a state of sin or licentiousness, or canality or carelessness.

But his approach is not out of hate.

His approach is not out of you know, whatever it is, that's not what he does.

He reveals Jesus.

He upholds human dignity as a man of God with all due respect.

If I call someone and insult the person and try to dehumanize the person, I may be a sincere man of God, but that operation is not of the Spirit of God.

Cornoni, are we learning the discerning of spirits?

You can george spirits through the lens of the world of God.

You can george spirits.

You can george what the Holy Spirit is behind.

Because I will repeat it again, you are going to see the confirmation of the world.

You will see the revelation of Jesus.

Through that activity.

You will see the fruit of the Spirit from the vessel and eventually bettered in the lives of the recipients.

And you will see that it ofhlds human dignity and beds the glory of God.

The process may be somewhat controversial, sometimes in all honesty, but at the end of it, that revelation of the glory of God and the enhancement of human dignity.

It brings you to the point where you know, even from a political standpoint, any government that abuses the dignity of people is frowned at, talk less the government of Heaven.

Allelujah.

So you can have the confidence to judge everything I'm teaching.

You can have the confidence to judge everything I'm saying using this indicase.

I should not be ashamed of allowing you to judge it everything you can bring it there.

That means you can literally look at my teaching and say, wow, this one was just your It was your sentiments, and sometimes sincerely, as men, you can just say something.

Even Paul will speak and say, I speak as a man, this one is not the Holygos.

It was just my learned opinion over certain things.

Sometimes it's pride that makes us want to put ourselves in godlike positions and make ourselves look so invincible, as though everything I'm saying becomes law.

It's not true.

It's not true.

You know, I said it one day.

I'm not sure, beginning from myself, I'm not sure there is any man of God in this nation and around the world.

Let me use ministry for instance, who when you've vet their one year's message, you will not find what needs correction, adjustment or improvement.

I listen to some of my messages of yester yes, and sometimes I'm laughing.

I say, you mean, I said, can you imagine that?

But that's the value of growth, and it's the reason why we most humble ourselves and be sincere enough to know what really came by the spirit from the spirit, and what came to sentiments.

Alle Lujah.

It is my assignment as a man of God to be as sincere as I can be with you will ministring to align with the Holy Spirit, and only align with activities that are by the Spirit.

And I pray for you, whether you're a person, whether you're a business person, whether you are a politician, you're a leader, the grace to know when God is moving, the grace to be able to judge that it is God that is moving without confusion.

I pray for you in the name of Jesus.

Let that grace be revealed.

Let it rest upon your life.

Now, Let it rest on your life, now, prays the name of the Lord.

In ministry.

I've had my share of being in places, And I've met people in this life whose operations were very questionable, and it's not from a biased and sentimental standpoint after judging those operations, and I hope you know it's not only ministry operations that are worth being judged.

Everywhere.

The way you treat your staff can show whether the Holy Spirit is the one engineering your strategy.

If you manipulate your staff, you take advantage of them at work.

You may be a sincere man, but that strategy is certainly not from God.

Are you seeing the reason why the world economy is different from the economy of the Kingdom, because largely the economy of the world dwells on self, dwells on manipulation, on fear, on sentiments that cannot be by the spirit of God.

Let me go to the next one very quickly, because I want us to pray my goodness.

So desciergning what the Holy Spirit is doing is number two?

Can we go to number three?

Desciergning of evil spirits?

The third level of discernment is the ability to discern evil spirits so that you do not fall into deception.

Asks chapter sixteen.

Please from verse sixteen.

Asks Chapter sixteen from verse sixteen, let's hurry up, media, And it came to pass.

As we went to prayer, a certain damn cell possessed with the spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying seventeen.

The same followed Paul and Us and cried, saying, now watch this.

These men are servants of the Most High God, who is speaking a lady under the spirit of divination.

What she was saying, was it accurate?

Talk to me?

Absolutely accurate, they said, which came to show us salvation?

Is that correct?

One hundred percent accurate prophecy?

But it was not by the spirit of God verse eighteen.

And this she did many days.

But the Bible says, Paul, being grieved, are you seeing this?

Sernmen?

There he turned and said to the spirit, I like this.

Who did Paul speak to He did not destroy the girl.

He knew that the girl was since here.

But what would have done is to carry both the spirit and the girl and destroy them.

Paul turned to the spirit and commanded the spirit in the name of Jesus to come out of her, and it came out at the same time Verse nineteen.

When the master saw that the hope of their game.

Can you tell spirits?

Right now?

Do you see the fruit of the spirit here?

You see manipulation.

They were making money out of the girl.

Does that look like stealing?

Destruction?

Who does that?

Satan?

Satan?

When you understand the systems of the kingdom, you'll be easy to discern.

Let me tell you this.

Every time you use even if it is the genuine gift of God, the moment it becomes an instrument for manipulation to gratify self, something is already wrong with it.

Everything God gives you, it profits you.

But it is ultimately to better the life of men and to reveal Jesus.

Is someone learning?

Now prays the name of the Lord, Please give it to us.

Let's finish it quickly.

The Bible says, when the Master saw that the hope of their gains were gone, they caught poland Silas drew them into the marketplace onto the rulers.

Verse twenty.

The Bible says, they brought them to the magistrates.

Now, WA's what they said?

Did They said?

This man stopped us from getting money?

Are you seeing lies there?

Who is the Father of life?

So what spirit was at work in those people?

Immediately?

You don't have to think twice.

They now manipulated a statement.

They said, this man, give us twenty place, give us twenty.

This man, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city.

That was their basis.

For as long as they did not destop the girl, they were not troubling the city.

The lady was prophesying that they are men of God.

They did report the girl, But the moment the again their source of gain went away, they twisted the statement and said they came to trouble our city verse twenty one, and to teach customs which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe being romance.

Look at how they came in verse twenty two, and the multitude rose up together against them.

Sometimes the crowd can be wrong.

Did hear what I said?

Sometimes popular opinion can be wrong.

Just because everybody is saying it does not make it right.

Everybody's doing it does not make it right.

Everybody is seeing it that way does not make it right.

The Bible says.

The multitudes arose the same people they came to save the magistrate rent of their clothes and commanded to beat them verse twenty three.

The Bible says and when they had laid many stripes on them, they cast them into the prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely.

I'm sure the men who did this went back home and gave themselves a high five.

Crazy people.

Can you imagine this guy's stopped us?

What would have gotten today?

May you be separated from weacked and unreasonable people.

Now, let me tell you an uncomfortable truth, ladies and gentlemen.

Our society, government, politicians sometimes past us.

Most people do not know to what degree Satan is influencing the minds of men.

There are policies that come you know this is of the devil.

There are behavioral patterns.

There are ways parents behave, there are ways children behave.

Are we together?

There are ways intelligent people behave.

Now, the narrative most times is if someone is not learned and not intelligent, if it's behaving in some way, it's easy to say this guy's behaving like a devil.

But when a learned person is intelligent, Satan packages error in a suit.

He packages deception in a suit, a nicely organized, intelligently articulated policy that destroys men.

The moment you see stealing, the moment you seek killing.

The moment you see destruction behind any process.

Ladies and gentlemen, hear it from me.

It is a signature sign that this is by the spirit of the devil.

Everything that produces stilling, killing, destruction, fear, bondage.

The moment to see those elements of the flesh and elements of attack, the things that Jesus came to free us from, it cannot be of God.

Now sometimes it is not visible, it can be subtle.

For instance, again, with all due respect to my wonderful body of Christ, if as a man of God, I call this man and I tell him give me one million mira quickly.

I'm your man of God.

Whether God told you or not, he brings it.

He say, I'm benefiting from it.

But that man's finances is depleting.

He's not doing it by an instruction and by revelation.

I am manipulating him.

Then next week I collect his car because of greed, even do I have my own.

Another week I manipulate him.

His family is getting impoverished at expense.

You see immediately it calls for concern, Are we together?

It truly does?

It calls for concern Satan is manipulating governments manipulating individuals.

Look at me, Who do you think is behind the widespread hatred that is in the body of Christ.

You think it's the Holy Spirit that makes men of God hate themselves.

They cannot see eyeball to wyball.

Denominations hate themselves, Churches hate themselves.

How it cannot be God, Ladies and gentlemen.

The spirit of the Christ is the spirit of love.

Remember I preach it in Glasgow, Scotland during Sound of Revival that the church is having a medical condition, the medical parallel or the spiritual parallel of autoimmune disease.

You know what autoimmune disease is when the body fights itself.

That's what is happening spiritually.

Until we look beyond ourselves and stop pointing fingers and turn and say, there is a devil here trying to join the heads of people, and we turn our attention to the right person and fight the devil.

Else he will abort God's program on the wings of hatred, on the wings of sentiments.

And the key is forgiveness, love, tolerance.

We will never be the same, but we can be united.

Are we together waiting for a church X y Z to be equal to a church ABC?

For united to happen is a waste of time.

United demands, mutual respect, united demands focusing on the things that are the pillers of the church.

Principles and practices made differ, our emphasis made differ.

Are we together now?

Our levels of spiritual alignment, consecrations may differ.

We are there to help one another, not to point wrongs and bring down one another.

Once we don't sustend that orientation, the body will continue to look weak and beggarly.

Unfortunately, it's the same spirit that is among politicians.

When I watch politicians fight themselves because they want to help Nigeria, I don't trust them.

If you have to fight manud, are you not desperate about helping us?

A man who fights his neighbor because he wants to help us, I must help you by force.

Something is wrong.

I'm not a politician.

I'm not I don't speak all of this world.

Once in a while, I just come in this one, go out and Alujah, pray the name of the Lord Africa.

We must love ourselves and I'm praying.

I'm not a politician, but let me pass a statement quick.

I'm praying the name of Jesus that the governments of Africa will begin to grow and embrace love and make it easy.

Did you know?

In many regards, and with all due respect not to sound sentimental, it is easier to fly from here to Histhrow in London than it is to get to certain African states just nearby.

I mean you are going there like you are traveling forever.

There are certain African nations that don't need The Africans should not need visas to get there.

No body will build our continent if we don't build it ourselves.

There's need to be a review.

Allelujah.

There's corruption, There's a lot of things, I know, but it starts with a change in philosophy.

And everybody is helping men of God who are bringing our own contribution.

Governments are bringing their own, Different people are bringing their own.

Eventually, it will work, I tell you it to walk.

It will work because of the Church.

If you believe that, say amen, now hear me, look at me.

Anything that manipulates your will is of the devil.

Anything that has to force you against your will.

I don't care whether it is Joshua Selman or any man of God or any business.

The business of manipulating the will is an operation of Satan.

I cannot force you to be saved.

I cannot force you to do anything outside of your will.

I can propose to you God's way, and sometimes spending on my level of influence over your life, insist upon you in righteousness.

But that's how far I can go.

It's someone learning now.

Parents must also learn this in how they train their children.

As far as raising children are concerned.

Praise the name of the Lord anything that has to force the will.

Sometimes with all your respect, and I'm saying this politely.

There are parents who look at their children.

You you will be a doctor.

You must be a doctor.

I'm not asking you.

You you will be an engineer.

You you will be an architect like me.

And they may be well intentioned.

They mean a good life for the children, but that's not the Kingdom's way.

I set before you life and death.

I said before you, blessing and cursing.

Choose life.

I can guide you.

If you are making a foolish decision, I will call you by rebuke, with revelation, garnished with love.

I will show you the right way.

Someone asked me a question many years ago.

It is an apostle.

What if you raise a child, and the child becomes an adult and then becomes wayward than Haywire.

I said, I will cry and keep interceding for the child, but I will stand boldly before the world and say, even though this child is well what, he's still my child.

But that's not a reflection of the way I trained him.

I gave my best in training him as a father, and he chose his way.

The best I can do is to intercede for him.

But I will not go to the Great feeling guilty that I Jesus did not go to Heaven feeling guilty for Judas.

He accounted for him and said, Judas shows his way.

The son of Perdition he was called.

I went together.

But my point in this discussion is to help you learn how to descend the spirits.

Don't You cannot discern spiritual things just by the physical frame of the activities alone.

Now there are activities that are bought spiritually and physically.

Foolish, are we together?

Yes, like some of these dehumanizing things that happen with all you respecting churches across Africa.

I'm hoping and praying that the people have changed because that alarm have been sounded for a long time.

I'm sure that somebody must have heard enough to change it, some of these dehumanizing activities that happen to people.

But then I can tell you this for sure.

Everything that sells bondage, everything that sells fear, everything that sells hopelessness.

Listen, everything that seeks to you sop on people's will is an operation of darkness.

Even if the vessel that was used is of God, the operation is of darkness.

Allelujah, praise the name of the Lord.

And this is why we, as men of God, must consistently pray and align and realign our wheels.

I will never, with all due respect, threaten you and say if you don't come to church you will die.

You will not die.

You will just not grow methodically, especially if you believe you have been planted here.

But the truth is you may die because there are certain things you do not understand, and the devil will attack you.

So that is the basis.

But not that my anger will kill you.

My anger will not kill you.

I did not die for your sins.

It's just insecurity that theology around insecurity, the mystery is that when you are willing to let go, then you will have when you are obsessed about keeping, you will loose on all grounds.

It's someone learning.

Now this is very important, ladies and gentlemen.

There are many things that are happening in your life now from the lens of what I've said, look at your life and you can know that certain things are not of God.

Look at me.

How many of you believe that husband quarreling with wife and fighting over finances or fighting over bills?

Can that be the glory of God?

Talk to me with what you've learned now, Can that be the glory of God?

Is it birthing the glory of God?

No, a home that is filled with fear, bondage, tension, whether it's the wife being in bondaged by the husband, or husband by the wife, or children by the parents, immediately you see that that's not the operation of the spirit of the Christ.

Is someone learning discernment now, So you don't just say this is bad because I don't like it.

That's not how believers operate.

What you like or what you don't like is not the basis of right and wrong.

Are we together?

It is what is engineered by the spirit of God, birthing and producing the glory of God or Otherwise, If a terrorist is taking care of your daughter, does it make him not a terrorist.

He's a terrorist, even though he's catering for your daughter.

You see her well taken care of, But the man is a terrorist.

Is she still safe?

Talk to me, she's still safe.

Why the operation is correct, But the heart of the man doing it, he will kill her.

A terrorist kills it's only a matter of time.

The day he needs her as a sacrifice, she will go.

So just because he's taking good care of her.

If the devil is taking care of a man by making that man rich, does it mean that the devil is good?

Talk to me, But he's giving him money, he's buying houses, he's bowing to bail, he's getting financial benefits, he's bribing, and he's growing until the day Satan comes for his receipts.

So it is not just because it is good or bad that you like it or hate it.

Is it consistent with the character of the Christ.

If it sells fear, if it sells hopelessness, if it sells bondage, if it sells doubt, if it gratifies the flesh.

If you're writing that writes this down.

If it gratifies the flesh, I can't tell you it is of the devil.

I can organize a convention.

I can organize a conference as a man of God, a genuine man of God.

But the operation of that conference is to gratify the flesh.

The Spirit of God will never bring glory to the flesh.

No, he will not.

The flesh dies in his presence.

Are we together?

So when you hear US say a lot of things like Jesus reveal Jesus glorified.

It's a cliche that should become a stronghold in your life that you judge every operation and your heart remains ever aligned to bringing glory to Jesus.

If someone stands off from the wheelchair, Now it can be by the spirit of God.

But I can cash in on that moment.

Are you seeing it now?

Do you know that the Holy Spirit can start a process and then flesh can finish it.

Now you see a chance to gratify the flesh.

The miracle came by the Holy gooes truly, But then sat and steals into that moment, and you can turn it as a moment to manipulate people or glorify yourself.

It is still demonic coinonly I'm praying for you in the name of Jesus from the depth of my heart, that by tonight and after tonight you will know what kind of association to be part of.

That after tonight you will know what kind of operation to allow in your life.

You don't go around georging and condemning people, But I can tell you, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you see, yeah, the moment you see hopelessness, the moment you see doubt, the moment you see that the fate of people is dumpened, the moment you see human dignity being reduced, and the moment you see the flesh.

That's the ultimate test, the ultimate test that it is the spirit of the devil, a demonic spirit.

Is that flesh, because that's the opposite of the spirit life.

The flesh is edified, the flesh is glorified.

It doesn't matter if the salmon is powerful, it doesn't matter if it doesn't have to be a habia list.

Jesus, you believed it, Hi, Higher, believed it high.

Jesus, you believed it high.

Speaker 3

Higher, believed Let my key be believe up.

Speaker 1

Oh say one more time, Let Micky one more time, saying lead Mikey What if you wake up having a dream and the dream suggests anything.

Don't rejoice simply because what you saw was good.

Judge it by the spirits that follow.

Are we together now?

If you wake up from a dream and in that dream you see everybody crying and it's only you that is laughing, that is wonderful.

But that's not all there is to the dream.

It may be speaking exemption, But a believer who knows the character of Christ knows that God deserves the salvation of all.

Are we together if, because although you survive, someone died.

Who Jesus died for?

Are you seeing the spirit of Christ?

Now?

If Koynonia increases as a ministry and every other ministry goes down, it is not dominion.

No, it's the gratifying of flesh.

The proof that is the spirit of God is that we don't rise alone through our rising, or that's also rise.

That's the spirit of Christ.

Are you getting that now?

You will never hear me sell your narrative, Oh we are the greatest, or the people who are down accept us?

It is foolishness.

It's insecurity.

When you understand the spirit of the Christ love the good of everyone.

Is it not in your Bible that love is patient, love is kind.

Are you saying how the devil slips through our minds and takes advantage of us?

You may not be possessed, but many operasions with credit to the Holy Spirit.

I'm telling you they are not of the Holy Spirit.

Just because we like the vessels, That's not meanities of God.

A sincere, good person can be used by the devil to bet something that he or she may not even be aware.

Peter was not aware that Satan was taking advantage of his faculties.

So Jesus rebuilt him.

But he did not stop there.

I like Jesus, he said, Peter, Satan has desired to sift you like wit, But wats the character of Christ?

I have prayed for you.

Half of the people we criticize, if we can only pray for them, there will be no business for criticism.

Again, that's the response of the believer.

One of the things I'm praying that would die in the body of Christ is the spirit of hate.

It is amazing how we live the banner of hate so high and we credit it to the Holy Spirit.

We live the banner of envy so high, and we credit it to the Holy Spirit.

We live the banner of manipulation so high, and we credit it to the Holy Spirit.

We live the banner of canality so high, and we credit it to the Holy Spirit.

We live the banner of self so high, and we credit it to the Holy Spirit.

To hell with what happens to anybody?

Once I am doing well and my member is doing well, I am fine.

It's not a body mentality.

There are people who die today simply because their heart failed.

It's not their leg that failed.

The heart, one organ of the body failed, and the whole organism dies.

Someone learning, say I love Jesus.

Say I love my neighbor.

Say I love the body of Christ.

Say I love my nation.

Say it again, say I love Jesus.

Say I love my neighbor, I love the body of Christ.

I love my nation.

Oh I forgot, Say I love myself.

Because when you hate yourself, you can ton the hatred you have for yourself and begin to hurt other people.

Is someone learning now?

In the name of Jesus, hear me.

I'm going to make a ball statement, and I pray that it will help you.

If there is any body in your life manipulating you by prophecy, using prophecy to manipulate you.

With all due respect, coming to your house to tell you you must give a car a good a ram.

Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen.

I don't condemned, but it is not the spirit of Christ.

First, for those who are doing this, I love you.

But there is a more excellent way that is certainly not the way of the Cross.

It is inconsistent with the character of the Christ, as revealed in the life of Jesus and as revealed in the life of the early Apostles.

We have not so learned Christ.

It is not by rituals that have been abolished.

There is a new and living way.

There is a greater call.

Sometimes we transfer trad those African practices, and when we get born again we ship them together and then we credit everything to the Holygos.

Is the reason why I don't believers seem to hate the Church.

You know why, because we have sold the Jesus that looks like is a new zance to civilization.

The lens that we we sell Jesus, the idea of Jesus we give the nations, makes him worth being hated.

Is the reason why the younger generations now jen after Jenesus.

What those the next one jen Alpha and all of that is the reason why they are They are asking questions and they are insulting the Jesus.

That was what we're by us sentimental.

Whatever it is, we can present it wholesome Jesus and epitome of love, epitome of transformation.

Let me give you the last one we have to end.

It's someone learning tonight.

I may not even have the time to give you the keys, but let me try the last one discernment of the human spirit.

So there are four levels of discernment.

Number one discerning of times and seasons.

Number two discerning the works of the Holy Spirit.

What the Holy Spirit is doing.

That is the influence behind whatever it is.

Number three descigning of evil spirits.

Number four discigning or the discernment of the human spirit.

Jeremiah, chapter seventeen and verse Let's hurry up, Thank you Jesus.

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure niv.

Who can understand it?

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure.

Who can understand it?

Kjv.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked who can know it?

Do you know what this means?

This right here, ladies and gentlemen, is the most honest revelation of the human nature outside of the work of the Spirit of God, that any human nature without the work of the Cross, without the work of the Spirit, no matter how well packaged that human spirit is.

This is the verdict, God's verdict that the heart of man, even if that man is you, even if that man is called Joshua Selman, are we together now?

It doesn't matter how nice that man is without the help of the Holy Spirit, without the work of the Cross, the pruning, the work of regeneration and transformation and renewal.

God's verdict about all men is that the heart is deceitful beyond all things.

John chapter twelve, Popular story.

Let's read it quickly and we'll find somewhere to pray.

Pay attention.

A revelation is about to come to you now that will bless your life.

Beginning from verse one, media less.

Hurry up, then, Jesus, six days before the Passover, he came to bethany where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead.

Verse two, he says, and they made him a supper, and mother served, but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

These three then took Mary a pound of ointment of spiking Lord, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair, the Bible says, and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.

Verse four.

Then notice now, say a one of his disciples, who is that disciple?

Judas is carried off our money again Simon's son, which should betray him.

Here's what he said, Why was not the oint man's sold This guy already knew the amount for three hundred pence, Come on now and given to the Judas.

I mean, you can imagine.

This woman was pouring her heart in worship, and everybody was saying, my God, look how she's honoring the king.

But Judas was calculating, Ah, this thing three hundred pence.

And then he knew that if he said give me to sound bad.

So I said the poor?

Why didn't you want to give the poor?

Now watch this the heart of man Verse six.

This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag.

Meaning if the bag was not with him.

He would say, even POI, because poet at the feet of Jesus.

You see that now he had the bag and he wanted everything sold and given, so he would collect it.

Did you know that he had been stealing from Jesus, and Jesus was aware.

The Bible called him a thief.

You don't call someone who he has the hat and he's had the track record.

He was a thief.

He had the bag and he bare that which was put on it.

Let's finish to verse eight.

Verse seven, then said Jesus, let high alone against the day of my buryin she had kept?

Had she kept this verse eight it says for the poor always you have with you, but me you do not have always.

I can imagine that the man was offended.

I don't believe Judas was a bad man.

He was just one who had the flesh so alive in him, and he took advantage of the popularity of Jesus.

I appreciate the message years ago.

What do you do with Jesus?

There are people who make money out of Jesus.

They take advantage of their proximity and they transact for money.

That are those who manipulate Jesus, because they are looking for positions.

James and John, are we together now praise the name of the Lord the heart of man.

There is a verdict that the heart of man is desperately wicked.

How about Judas.

We're not read it, but write this for reference.

Look twenty two from verse thirty nine to forty nine.

Look twenty two thirty nine to forty nine.

This was the betrayal of Jesus.

The Bible says Jesus went to prayer, and he was grieft in his spirit.

He prayed again until tears became like drops of blood on him.

And when he was done, Judas came to him him, and then Judas kissed him.

And he held Judas and said, you betray the son of man with a kiss.

He's signified by that kiss.

Men, for you, you've heard me say it countless times.

Here are we together that the keys.

A kiss is supposed to be a sign of love, an expression of love and intimacy.

But in the world of men, a kiss can be a signal to the enemy that you are the one they should kill.

The same way a handshake that should be a sign of partnership and unity.

It can be signed to someone.

This is the one who is my competitor, and he should die.

It is amazing the things that happen in our world.

I don't want to tell you certain stories to plant fear, but history, even our history, has shown that wives who knife with amb robots to steal from their husbands husbands the same thing.

Their parents are kid not their children by themselves, so that society can give them money to pay bills.

I mean, the stories are endless, allelujah.

I didn't used to believe parents and guardens can operate as witches and wizards till I handle the cases myself against their own children.

I never would have believed that.

I mean, come on, how can a woman want to destroy her child?

How can a woman want to stop the children from rising or a man from rising?

Now it's been exaggerated in many circles, but I tell you it exists.

I have handled many of them enough to tell you it is true.

The heart of man is desperately wicked.

Now that should not create fear.

There are good people, but it's important, and it's consoling to know that any man who has not had the work of the Cross done within their heart, the work of regeneration, the work of renewal, the work of transformation.

It is a risk to carry your whole life and trust it with that man.

Men vacillate.

Even those who are in Christ have to obtain grace to stand.

Are we together in the presence of challenges?

Men would rather give up anybody than themselves.

Self is the god in the world of men?

Oh it is.

Men will do anything for self.

They will hold you until there is a conflict of interest, and then they will push you.

Do you know the meaning of that saw?

That number one?

When you know this, you will not be too quick.

Now, I'm not saying to suspect men, but always allow time to test the sincerity of the hearts of men.

Some of you meet people on day one, and from day one they've gone to your bedroom.

You've told them everything about your life, from your upbringing, what happened between your father and your mother, what was necessary or not necessary, You see everything.

Just because they carried an air, they carried a semblance of compassion.

And as soon as you are don't talk, you find out you've become a slave forever because you've communicated information that has entered the heart of man.

Man who is frail, emotional Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord.

When you understand the world of men, it will reduce your propensity for disappointment, because you already know that there are tendencies that are in the hearts of men.

If someone shakes you right now and you hear later on that that person hates you, there would be less of a heartbreak because there is a system of accommodation within you.

Already you know that this vulnerability exists within the world of men.

Let me tell you what this also does to you.

When you find men who are being walked upon by God, when you find men who are being pruned, ordinary men with godlike abilities, you will respect them and you will appreciate them.

This world is full of evil men.

When you find good people, keep them all.

When you find good people, men, I've met good people in this life.

I thank god I've not met too many, but I've met good people in this life.

Men who can take a bullet for you.

You can turn your back and go to bed and guarantee we are all humans again one more time.

May you be one of such men.

May you not be the reason for the pain of others.

May you not go to bed, knowing you cause pain for people.

In the name of Jesus Christ.

The world is in desperate need of good people, good preachers, good spouses, good parents.

The quality of goodness is one of the major expressions of God's glory.

Good Master, what must I do to be saved?

He said, No man is good except God.

When you find men that are good, it means God dwells in them.

They will watch you cry, and they will come and you and say why are you crying?

Your tears are my tears?

And you say, why are you doing this?

I'm suspecting your hands are not clean.

They will say no, the overflow of the life of God is swallowed me up again.

May you find such men and sins?

People who have marked you to be an instrument of mass destruction as a person, and they've avoided you.

It started from secondary school, went to college, and inside of you to work on yourself.

You believe that it's a sign that you are strict.

It's not.

It's not.

You must look like Jesus.

You should be the closest expression of the invisible Jesus to your world.

Is someone learning now?

Yes, the nature of men.

I think some of the most wounded people when it has to do with some of these things.

Are politicians, how they betray one another and they heart beat.

It is amazing they sit on the same table and by the next moment you cannot tell who's true motive.

Ah, in the name of Jesus, May those kind of people be far from your life.

And it is my prayer for you, my prayer for you.

May one of these good people I have described.

May it be that I'm describing your spouse.

May it be that I'm describing your spouse.

Maybe I'm describing your spousal because you don't want to live in hell while you are an act.

There are selfish people.

Selfish people, they will give up their wives and their children for themselves.

There are selfish children.

They don't care what is happening to their parents.

Blessed and doing well, but you see their parents living as to they don't have children.

There are selfish parents.

They will motgadge the destiny of their children for themselves.

There are selfish siblings.

They arise and never care if I'm not a sibling is rising.

There are selfish church members.

There are selfish relatives.

There are selfish people, But there are good people.

Oh, there are loving people.

There are kind people that are compassionate people.

There are selfless people.

They are sacrificial people.

And as we prepare to pray, I'm bowing my needs to God again on your behalf that in the name of Jesus.

Some of you who have not had it good with men, you have trusted people wrongly.

You trusted people to eli.

They came like angels and shredded your hat into pieces.

They came as though they will do business and never cheat you, but they left you in pain.

They came promising to hold your hat and to guard it well, they broke it into pieces.

They came promise, seem to take care of your children, and the rubbish the life of your children while you are away.

I pray for you in the name of Jesus.

May God take evil men out of your life.

May God take destiny destroyers out of your life, no matter what forman fashion they're coming.

May God see men who look like they're evil, but there are some of the greatest gifts in your life.

This is the flip side to it.

You can see a man well dressed, but he's a wicked man.

It doesn't show on the face, but you can see a young boy who looks like his rebellious.

He may have some tantrump, some tobornness there, but that is the child that would die for you.

You must have discernments.

If not, you will call good evil, and you will call evil good.

It's one gift I thank God forgiving me.

I can look at someone and tell you be careful.

Believe me, I'm a man, but be careful.

I can look at someone being tobborn, maybe even a tieth be a foolish person, and I tell you this man will be an asset to you.

If you don't know this as a leader, you will God.

Psychophants and liars, they will dig your grave and bury you.

There are times those who cost you the greatest pain are still the greatest gift in your life.

Heal from the pain, but preserve them because there are still an asset.

Destroy it not, for there is a blessing in it.

There are odd those who may not have hurt you yet, but God will say go because there is trouble there.

Discernment of the human nature is a gift and an asset.

Some of you have opened up deep secrets about yourself, your spouses, your family, to wrong ears, wrong ears, Allelujah.

You may see a young gentleman.

He doesn't have money now, he doesn't have any kind of thing, but my God, he fears God and he loves you sincerely.

As a lady.

You can take your eyes away from him, and you're looking for the future now, and the devil will package wickedness in suit and bring it to you, and you jump at it, because that's how the canal mintains.

You embrace it, and when you are done licking the sugar, you find out that it's not only poison, is a bump that you brought to your house.

Saymen, there are times you can see a godly lady fetch rust.

Lady loves the Lord, may not be so exposed, may not be around the world, but you will know she would raise your children no matter what happens.

If you are para lifestime you are in a hospital bed, that lady will stay with you there, not the one that while you are sick, she's already planning the next husband.

And yet, because of the deception that the age brings to us, I pray for you.

May you know, may you not motgage your tomorrow because of insensitivity.

I'm only praying to a receiver.

May you not mot gage your tomorrow because of insensitivity.

I know families that the people feeding the parents now are those who were house helps, not the children.

The house help.

That is the remains of the food.

And while the children were jumping, they became adults, they became wayward.

But that house help with a frailty.

The mothers become sick in the hospital.

And it's that same house help who is called stupid, who is called useless.

Be careful those you treat you, they may not be so educated.

Be careful.

It is my considered opinion anybody who lives in your house is your child.

They must be treated with love.

If you are not prepared, send them away in peace.

But don't humiliate the life of anybody because of a disadvantage.

This world is a mystery.

You can look down on someone today and the person who is a rejected stone may be the only option you have left the human nature.

Do you know the reason why we long to see people saved and to transform people?

Because outside of salvation, regeneration, renewal, transformation, no man deserves being trusted, No man, including myself, no man.

What makes us trusted ladies and gentlemen, It is not our human nature is the supplanting of the nature of Christ in a man.

Are we together?

The same people that ran away from Jesus were the ones who now died for him.

You know I taught you yesterday when we discussed discipleship.

You are not a true Christian until you can die for Jesus.

If you can only live for him, then they're sill a question mark.

It is not to live alone that if the needer you can die for him with joy, that's a true Christian.

When you find people, and saying this to you, when you find people with a rich capture of the fruit of the spirit, look beyond gifts, Please look at me in respecting people.

Focus on christ like character more than anointing.

Did you hear what temptation you now in ingrading people to accord them honor or to bring them close to your life?

I know the annointing is very charismatic, but the annointing can come even on a bottle a donkey.

Watch this.

A don'tkey can manifest power, but it cannot manifest the character of Christ.

Fruit is a sign that a tree is grown.

Are we together?

No?

Three in its infancy.

He bears fruit.

When you see the fruits of the spirit in a man consistent, it is a sign they have met Christ.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where if one man is standing here having godlike character, and Joshua Salman is standing here, have been anointing.

Because of the reality of our world, Joshua Salman will be projected forward, and then that person who has character looks like a secondary person.

But I'm telling you, in the ecloony of the Kingdom and by wisdom, you must learn to value christ Like character even above anointing.

Annointing is wonderful, but the real proof you are a Christian is not just annointing, is the character of the Christ.

In looking for friends, don't just look for power.

I'm not saying power is useless, but many powerful people are the reason for the troubles of many character.

Character character christ like character, christ Like character, not assumed character.

Because you one favor.

You know there are people who can be nice because they are looking for something.

They can be nice for two years, provided they've not gotten it.

Can I tell you the one who steals from you and comes to say I'm sorry I stold from you I'm sorry, is more christ Like than the one who did not steal but wants to steal and will steal.

Did you hear what I said when I talk about looking for character, we are not looking for God like perfection, but we are looking for elements of repentance, elements of brokenness.

These are the things you look at.

Now.

You know it Christian, not just by God like perfection.

Sometimes you can be angry.

Are we together now?

Sometimes you know you can just allow the flesh manifest through you.

But what happens afterwards is proved that you were Christian.

Or you were under pressure and you took some money from that office, and one day you go before the Lord broken and said, Father, I ask you for messy.

I know I'm not supposed to take this.

This is public funds, pressure or competition.

That person right there, I don't care.

The old world the same crucify him.

That's a real Christian right there, than the one who was not stolen yet, but he's still eyeing the money.

In my opinion, the prodigal's son was nobler than his brother because the brother was eyeing the opportunity.

He just did not have the courage to go yet because of fear.

As soon as the brother returned back, he said, Father, have served you.

You didn't kill even one good for me.

The father said, all I have is yours.

The prodigal son arose, and it came the fact that he was willing to be a servant, knowing that he had a brother, he was still willing to be a servant.

He didn't say, I will come and say I'm a son.

Sorry, he said, I am not worthy.

Whenever you see brokenness is a man, that is an asset.

I'm giving you a secret.

Don't look for perfect look for brokenness, look for sincerity.

The one who can go down on his knees her knees to say truly I'm wrong.

That is a friend.

Indeed, that is a spouse.

Indeed, that is a child, Indeed, that is a parent, indeed that is a business partner.

Indeed.

But because sometimes we are short of judgment, we make mistakes, and we draw to our space people who are holding knives that we're not seeing, and we throw away some of the greatest assets in our lives.

We have to pray.

But I'm praying for you.

Coin on her in the name of Jesus, the spirit of Pride.

The elements of the flesh, the things that manifest the human nature that is not regenerate, may be far from your life.

Let the cleansing work of the cross walk in you.

Let the work of regeneration work in you.

Let the work of purification work in you.

In the name of g Sus Christ, it is my prayer for you that anybody God connects you with, they will beat their chest and say, God brought a gift to my life.

I'm not just talking in terms of marriage.

I'm not just talking in terms of relationship marital relationships, even though it applies there.

But that when I say business man, I wanted to make a commitment from this teaching that anyone who comes into your life, they will not say it was the worst decision I made, but that they will say I truly found a confident, I found help, I found strength.

I found one who pushes me to love the Lord.

Young people, that your parents can beat their chest and say, finally, before getting to my grave, I can see a child that has brought me in peace and brought me joy, Not that your behavior is the reason why they go to their grave.

Parents, Let your children not look at you and cost you in your heart even before you die because of self.

Are we together now?

Yes?

Believe us do not be the reason why someone will bow his knees to God in prayer and say, Lord, help me punish thisbeliever.

No, the signing of spirits all men with by God has the power to be an asset and a blessing indefinitely by default.

No, sir, it is a holy spirit who helps men.

Oh that's why you see us lean to him.

Without the Holy Spirit, our vulnerabilities are indefinite.

You don't know what it feels like to have an opportunity to steal and then to refuse, to have an opportunity to bow to bear so that you can get some benefits.

And before you trust him your strength and disappoint yourself, lean to the everlasting arms of the Spirit and say, Lord, help me build christ Like character in me.

We're going to pray.

Our prayer will be from the end back to the beginning.

You're going to pray and say, Lord, my human tendencies are unlimited.

Walk on me, work in me, walk through me.

Go ahead and pray.

Drop any pride and pray my tendencies for pride.

Help me my tendencies for feelory my tendencies, to wanting to of wanting to outshine my competitive tendencies.

Walk upon my heart.

Someone, go ahead and pray.

Walk upon my heart.

We're wrapping up, says Stretch tonight.

God, please pray one minute walk upon my heart.

Let me be a noble, supernatural human, an expression of the character of Christ, not just an anointed man, not just an anointed woman, a manifestation of love, a man infestation of peace.

Now pray for the grace to discern, to discern the right people to bring to your life.

The grace to look through men and to see their hearts, to discern motivations beyond actions, good or bad.

To discern motivations.

There are many good people who can do bad things, but they are good people.

The grace to look beyond your actions.

There are many bad people who are doing good things, but they are bad.

The grace to be cautious even though they've not done anything evil to you.

Yet, go ahead and pray the grace to discern the operations of Satan in your life, in your family, your business, your nation, so that you deal with it by the power of God.

The grace to discern what the Holy goost is doing.

So you don't find yourself fighting God.

You can align and receive someone.

Go ahead and pray the grace to descend times, the grace to discern seasons.

In Jesus' name, We pray in Jesus' much less name.

We pray one last prayer.

Please find the neighbor, hold the hand of someone, and just interced for that person for one minute.

You don't need to know the person.

Please just reach to someone's hand in one minute and pray like you are praying for your brother.

Pray like you are praying for your sister.

Lift up prayer right now.

Those who are following online, please take a moment to pray.

If there's no one there, we to go ahead interced Pray for your spouse, Pray for your children, Pray for your parents, Pray for your nation, Pray for your business, Pray for your pastor.

Pray for your church.

In the name of Jesus.

Go ahead and pray the grace to discern what is of the spirit and align it.

The grace should discern word is of the spirit and align with it.

The grace to discern what is of the devil and fight it in prayer.

The grace to discern seasons, to know when to wait, to know when to move.

Finally, the grace should discern human nature, to see beyond actions, to see the motivations.

So you don't call good evil, and you don't mistaken evil for good.

In Jesus' name, we pray.

In Jesus name, we pray hopefully another time.

I'm sorry, our time is up.

I will share with you the keys.

I'm so sad that I did not get to do that.

But there are keys to helping you build discernment.

One of it is the ministry of prayer.

The more you pray in the spirit you build discernment you build.

This number two is a thorough understanding of the ways of God.

The more you know how God acts, go and read Some one or three.

You must have a thorough knowledge of the nature of God.

One of the greatest ways to build discernment is to understand the nature of God.

Is my conscience.

I know our time is up.

Prayer the nature of God.

Another way to discern spirits is by submitting to wise counsel.

Wise counsel can help you desern spirits.

Are we together?

Yes?

One of the ways with desern spirits is by the law of patience.

When you are patient, the Bible says, eventually a tree stands growing a blade.

When there was tears, I feel so sad that within this constant I would have shown you the mystery of the wit and the tears, because as they were young, we could not distinguish between the wit and the tears.

But he said, let them grow or the law of patience.

Patience is one attribute that can force deception to reveal itself.

Sometimes you just need to do nothing and be patient.

You may hear that someone is stilling, Just be patient.

You may hear that someone is antagonizing.

Just be patient.

If you can be patient for one more day, you will see that something you are about to point at as evil may be good all the way, or something you are about to call good may be evil.

I will just leave this forlle.

Of course, there's the help of the Holy Spirit, the revealer.

Are we together now?

So take note of this for as the case number one, submitting yourself to prayer.

When you pray, it reveals.

Remember when there was fire, it revealed the serpents that was hiding.

There was a viper hiding in the wood.

But the moment fire came it revealed.

Prayer purifies it reveals.

Number two, the world of God, particularly the study of the nature of God.

Your discernment cannot be heightened if you do not understand the nature of God.

You must understand the nature of God to be able to judge prophecy and to judge the operations of spirits.

Allelujah.

Number three, Wise counsel.

You can lean on the discernment of others who are matured in the spirit, and they can guide you to navigate the muddy waters where you are not seen, where your sight is hazy.

Are we together?

God can use men to help you.

So we leave it there.
