Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] We are still on our beautiful and amazing and powerful teaching on triumph. Glory to God. And this triumph, we've been getting into a very, very important teaching which is on triumph, the faith of the word of God. That means that we have been looking at what the word of God says about faith. Because remember, when we began this series, we were talking about triumph. Hallelujah. Triumph. We're talking about the mystery of the word of God, triumph, you know, how to overcome, right? Indeed, the attacks of this, the attacks of this season, you know, and we're dealing with what God has given to us so we can be triumphant. The weapons that God gave us so we can be triumphant in this season. So we're looking at triumph. Glory to God. And now we have been getting into that weapon, that weapon, one of those weapon, one of those strategies, one of those principles that puts us over, that gives us the victory through Jesus Christ, through our Lord Jesus Christ. And the Bible showed us that that victory is going to be delivered through faith. So now if I'm looking here at Hebrews, when you study Hebrews, from chapter three, chapter eleven, verse three, it says that if there's going to be a change, if there's going to be a change, that change is going to happen through faith. He says, through faith. We understand that the words were framed by the rhema, by the spoken word. Glory to God. By the spoken word. Hebrews eleven three. It says, through faith. Through Pistis. We understand that the aeons, the words were framed. Hallelujah. They were repaired, they were framed, they were fashioned, they were designed, they were aligned, they were realigned. Hallelujah. Says, by the spoken word of God. By the rhema of God. Hallelujah. Says, by the rhema of God. Says such that things which are seen were not made by things which do appear.
[00:02:00] Glory to God. So what is the Bible telling us? The Bible is telling us that if there's going to be a change, the change is going to be through faith. And, you know, through. In this series, we've been looking at a lot of things regarding faith, defining faith. Last week we were talking about what faith is. We define faith. We look at the testimony of the apostle Paul regarding faith, and we see that in this, in this episode, we're going to be looking at Jesus's testimony, Jesus testimony about faith. And then we can also, if time allows, we can also get it to look into the prophet Moses testimony of the faith of God. Hallelujah, the faith of God. So we've got these different, you know, these different accounts. Testimonies witnesses of what faith is. Hallelujah. And last week we looked at the testimony of the apostle Paul in Romans chapter ten. Hallelujah. If you can just go there quickly. Romans, chapter ten.
[00:02:55] What a beautiful, what a beautiful. If you haven't watched it, go and watch it. Go and watch it. Go and watch it. Hallelujah. I trust that you're enjoying, you're enjoying the new platform that we put in place, which is called teach us how to pray, where my beautiful, amazing wife will be going through some prayers and scriptures and teaching us how to pray and leading us in prayer. Hallelujah. Mondays and Thursdays. You can catch her there. 06:00 p.m. powerful, powerful. There. You hear tongues, you hear different kinds, divers kinds of tongues. Glory to God. Powerful tongues. Hallelujah. Okay, so don't miss it. Be a part of it. Be a part of it. You'll be blessed. I'm so blessed by those prayers and those declarations and those ministrations from my beautiful and amazing wife. So last week, this is what we're looking at. Hallelujah. Romans, chapter ten, verse six. It says, but the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise. And we're looking at the grammar, these descriptions, these descriptions, these describing words of faith, all right? These are called, these are the describing words that the Holy Spirit put together to define and to describe faith. So now here in verse six, we saw, he says, faith speaks. Faith speaks. Kiya yaya. And those words were carefully chosen by the Holy Spirit to describe faith and put in the scriptures for us. So we can't say something else other than what is written here.
[00:04:21] So the Holy Spirit, so God does not want us to know faith in a different way other than what is written here. Otherwise he would have given the revelation to Paul in the way that, you know, in the way that some people have said it. But we want to know it in the way that the scriptures say it. We want to know in the way that the apostle Paul says it in scripture. We want to know the way that Jesus said it in scripture. We want to know the way Moses said it in scripture.
[00:04:49] We want those witnesses. I know there's the one that James said, and we said that the problem with that testimony of James where he says faith without works is dead, the problem with that one is that he's standing alone on it, right? It says, and at the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established, and God is bound by that word.
[00:05:10] All right? God is bound by that word. He says he has exalted his word above all the revelation of his name.
[00:05:20] It says he has exhorted his word. He consults his word before he does anything, he has to consult with what the word says.
[00:05:29] Okay? And yeah, the word says, faith speaks.
[00:05:34] So this is how God knows it. This is the faith of God. This is the faith of the word of God.
[00:05:41] This is the faith of the word of God where you'll get results. It doesn't matter what it is that you want to change. It doesn't matter what it is that is coming against you. It doesn't matter what the devil has thrown at you. Ha. The Bible says if there's going to be a change, that change is going to be through faith. And we have defined what that faith is from the word of God. The word of God has defined for us what faith is so we can know it. And we can, when we know it, when we have the absolute knowledge of it, we can put it to work accurately and get divine results. Hallelujah. Okay, so what we want to do is we want to look into, we want to look into the testimony of Jesus of faith. The apostle Paul said that many beautiful things, if I can just go through them quickly, quickly, quickly. Says, faith speaks on this wise. Say, not in your heart. Who shall ascend into the heaven that is to bring Christ down from above? Verse seven. Or who shall descend into the deep that is to bring Christ again from the dead? Verse eight says, but what does it say? The word is near you, even in your mouth and in your heart. Even in your mouth and in your heart. And what word is he talking about? Says, the word of faith. The word of faith. What is the word that is the rhema pistis? The spoken word of faith says. The spoken word of faith says, there's one in your mouth and then there's one in your heart. And in verse ten he now describes what the one in your heart does and what the one in your mouth is doing. Glory to God. So that we can know so there will be no confusion. We will know. We will know what to do and how to use it, how to apply it. So he defines it for us. He describes it for us beautifully here.
[00:07:22] Okay, so he says that that word is near you. There's one in your mouth and there's one in your heart. Glory to God. There's one in your mouth and there's one in your heart. Let's read it.
[00:07:34] Okay. Verse nine. And then it says that if you shall confess, you have to understand that the apostle Paul was under pressure to deliver this teaching, because Jesus had appeared to him. He said that the gospel that I preached unto you says, it is not after men. And then says, neither was I taught it. Says, but I received it by the apocalypses of Jesus Christ. Says, I received it. And remember in the previous episode I was sharing with you and teaching you that there's a big difference between the apocalypses of Jesus Christ and the apocalypses in the knowledge of God. One is the unveiling, the manifestation, the appearing of Jesus Christ, and the other one is the unveiling of God, the unveiling of the word, of the knowledge of God. Those are two different experiences. So Paul said that this gospel, it was not taught to me by human beings. Nobody preached this thing to me. He said, Jesus appeared to me the apocalypses. So Jesus taught Paul this teaching about faith and salvation, the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ, salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. He was taught to it by Jesus.
[00:08:39] He didn't think. Nobody sat down and said, how must salvation happen? How must salvation happen? It wasn't anybody, any man's idea.
[00:08:49] No man had the idea or the wisdom to think of how salvation should take place.
[00:08:54] No man had the idea or the wisdom to think on how salvation, through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, should be delivered into a man's spirit for that man to be born again. Nobody had that wisdom to know how this thing must work. So Jesus came to the apostle Paul personally and said that this is how it's going to work. This is how men are going to receive salvation from what I did for them on the cross when I died and was buried and I came back to life for them.
[00:09:20] This is how the faith principle is going to work for salvation, says, neither was I taught, it, says, but I received it by the apocalypses of Jesus Christ.
[00:09:31] Aye.
[00:09:33] Glory to God. So now Paul is under pressure to teach this message. When he was teaching here from Romans chapter ten, he was under pressure because it is through this message that men will get born again. Do you understand the pressure that's here? So he cannot miss, mess up this teaching. He has to deliver it in its simplest form, and he has to explain it thoroughly. All right? So that's why I said, you must confess with your mouth. He doesn't want you to miss it. That's why there's no other place where he's giving such descriptions of what instrument, what part of your body you have to use for this thing to work, because he can't mess this one. If he messes this one, we're all going to hell, okay? Because the principles of the word of God, you can't cheat them, you can't mess them up. You can't. You understand? There is a grammar. I told you this in the previous episode. There is spiritual grammar where if you don't do it in accordance with the confines with the confines of the principles of spiritual grammar, the principle will not work.
[00:10:42] So that's why for some people, they say the word, it didn't work. It didn't work. That means you missed the principle. There was a grammar, you missed, you missed it. It's not going to change for you. It will not adjust itself to you so that it can work.
[00:10:58] You would have to adjust yourself to align with the word so that the power can work, so that salvation can work, so that faith can work.
[00:11:09] So that means that you now need to find out what does the word of God say? Faith is because it is definite, it is absolute. There is no grey. There is a definite and absolute knowledge.
[00:11:27] Remember we spoke about it last week when the apostle Paul said, so that you can understand my intelligence. In the mystery of Christ, there is an intelligence, there is spiritual intelligence. Pneumaticosis. These are real spiritual things that the Holy Spirit has said, but God has given them unto us by his spirit. These are things that are given unto us by his spirit. And many christians, they don't know. They don't know that these things are available unto them by God's spirit. That's why they talk funny things.
[00:12:00] Even men of God, some of them have mounted pulpits and the things that they are saying. And you're like, ah, how did you get here? Where did you get that from? Because you see, there's a lack, they're lacking in pneumaticos. Pneumaticos, epic gnosis. We're talking about spiritual wisdom. These are things. Hallelujah. It says, we speak wisdom, we speak Sophia. It says among them that are perfect, he says, even the hidden. Even the hidden, Sophia, this is the hidden wisdom which God prepared for us before. He says he prepared this wisdom for us.
[00:12:39] Who is us? Who are these? It's not for everyone. It's not for every christian says, it's for the pneumaticos says, but he that is pneumaticos, hallelujah. He anacrenos, he judges, he discerns, he distinguishes all things. There's a distinguishing. There's an understanding of spiritual matters. Hallelujah. That he possesses, that was given and delivered to him by the Holy Spirit, says that we might know the things that have been freely given to us. How are you going to know that this thing has been given to you?
[00:13:14] There are too many of God's children that are not functioning at this level, that do not have this understanding, that do not have this spiritual wisdom, spiritual knowledge, spiritual understanding, spiritual discernment, working.
[00:13:27] They don't even know it exists.
[00:13:30] So they want to, they want to sit and argue.
[00:13:34] They want to argue, argue. They sit and argue. No, but then we must judge you.
[00:13:47] Yes, this is the time. It's judgment now.
[00:13:56] And then you're watching, you're just listening and you're like, oh, they don't even know what the judgments of gods are, they haven't studied them, he says, but he that is pneumaticos, he judges all things. Kaya ya. He that is pneumaticos, he anacrenos all things. There's an anacrino, there is a discernment, he can distinguish, he can separate. Kaya. Yeah, he can nose. When he the spirit of truth is come, says, he shall guide you into all truth, he shall guide you into all reality. Glory to God. There's this thing that the Holy Spirit does in you.
[00:14:35] And remember I said to you last week that you have to take the prayers of the spirit for you to be, for you, for this realm, for this level of the operation of the pneumaticos to be released and start working in you where you can begin to know things. You can begin to know.
[00:14:53] He calls it spiritual epic gnosis.
[00:14:58] You know it without the aid of human intelligence and human research. It is delivered to you by the spirit. And you can just know it, you can just know what's going on. You can just know what's going to happen. These things happen with me and I call things out. Those that are around me, they know and I'll tell without any research.
[00:15:21] We're talking about pneumaticosis.
[00:15:24] Pneumaticosis. Says it has been given to us by his spirit, says that we might know, that we might have knowledge. Hahaha. Some of you, Google search, Google search, Google search says, but the spirit searches all things. Yay. The deep things of God. Kay.
[00:15:45] So before we even get to Google search, the Holy Spirit has given us the knowledge. Ki yaya. What level are you operating in?
[00:15:55] We are in the season of great deception. So you need it. You need it. You need to get into the word, you need to pray. The prayers of the spirit, the spirit of wisdom and knowledge, remember the spirit of wisdom and knowledge, the spirit of Sophia and epic gnosis in the apocalypses of God. That is a different thing from the apocalypses of Jesus Christ. So you're praying those prayers of the spirit, you're meditating on them. Says that my eyes, my eyes can. The eyes of my understanding may be flooded with light, with knowledge, with understanding, with wisdom. Flooded. Do you know that your understanding can be flooded with light and you can know things supernaturally? This is the level of the pneumaticos.
[00:16:46] You see when you study creation. You see that everything in creation was intelligently designed. There is an intelligence in creation. There is an intelligence in how God designed things. You can't look at creation and creatures and think that it was just a demonstration of power.
[00:17:05] There was intelligence, meticulous design, he said wonderfully and fearfully. There is a level of wisdom and understanding of design, the knowledge of colors, the knowledge of arrangement.
[00:17:20] Look at creation and see the wisdom.
[00:17:25] Aye, so it says.
[00:17:31] So there is a spiritual intelligence that as a child of God, he says desire. The pneumaticos desire these things. When he says desire, what is he talking about? See, he's talking about the pneumaticos anacreno. He's talking about pneumaticos. Pneumaticosis, spiritual understanding. Pneumaticosis says you must desire it. Ha.
[00:18:00] So that you're not a spiritual fool like you. You can talk to some Christians and you see that they don't understand. They don't understand, you know, you can tell, try to communicate spiritual things to them they don't understand. Never mind those that are not even born again. It says, the natural man says, cannot receive or understand the things of the spirit. The spirit of God says, because they have foolishness unto him, says, neither can he know them because they are what they are. Pneumaticos, anacrino. They're in a different realm from. From the physical realm. They're in a pneumaticos realm. Pneumaticos anacreno. It's a place of spiritual understanding and spiritual intelligence that the spiritual possess that a child of God is supposed to possess.
[00:18:46] So that's why we can know now we can look at the scriptures and we can see things. And when we come and we start to share things, people are like, where are you getting this information from? But they're reading the same book.
[00:19:02] Okay, so now I can come to you and tell you that this is what the scriptures say. I can show you like you've read this thing maybe so many more times than I have. Some people have read these things more times than I have. Some people came before me and they read these things more times than I will ever do.
[00:19:21] But they will never know it. Like, I. I've known it. Why? Because the one that I know, like, remember what Paul said? He says that this thing says. I mean, I wasn't taught, it says, neither was I taught, it says, but I received it by the apocalypses of Jesus Christ. You understand? So it didn't come from a hard work of learning and study. It was delivered. It was given to me.
[00:19:46] It was given. It was given to Paul by Jesus Christ himself. So there's some knowledge of things that God, by his spirit, just gives to you.
[00:19:57] And you just have a knowledge where there are people before you who've read and studied and read and studied and read and studied, and they don't know. They don't say anything. They don't get it. They don't see it. They will never understand it. And then you just come. God will just say, shiki, this is for you. Poo.
[00:20:16] Right? What is that? That is the pneumatic. Cause it says, the spirit judges all things.
[00:20:23] He says, the spirit, he searches all things, says, yea, the deep things of God. Says, what man knows the things of a man is the spirit of man that is in him.
[00:20:32] It says, even so, the things of God knows no man but the spirit of God.
[00:20:38] Hallelujah. Okay, so we want to look at.
[00:20:43] I digressed a bit because, you know, this thing, you know, is weighing heavy because I've been seeing so many things, so many things that.
[00:20:53] So many things that God's children, I'm seeing. I see, you know, now that we're in the realm of, you know, the age of the Internet and information being exposed, you know, you can. You get to expose to hear a lot of things where a lot of God's people are at, you know, because, you know, the Bible says that from the abundance of the heart, the mouth, so you, like, you hear these things and you're like, hi.
[00:21:20] How did we get here? How did we get here to this knowledge where we're saying these things, you know, when the Holy Spirit has been given to us to give us this knowledge, this wisdom, this understanding of spiritual things.
[00:21:34] Okay?
[00:21:36] Glory to God. So now what we want to do is we want to look. Okay? So we looked at the testimony of Paul, of what he described, and said, faith is okay, which is very important. Okay? And then I also said last week that there's the testimony of James, because James came with his own theory, his own, I'm gonna say, his own teaching on faith and whatever, where he was challenging the message of Paul, okay? Because remember, the apostle James and the apostle Paul, they had many run ins about this thing. All right? So that letter of the apostle James was actually written to the twelve tribes.
[00:22:14] It wasn't written to the church. It was written. It says, I'm addressing this thing. You must read it. James, chapter one, verse one. It says to the twelve tribes of Israel that are scattered abroad. So he was specific that this message is for these people. And there he was now kind of challenging Paul's message on faith. So James has got his. Join his hand. So if you want to do that one. Yeah, do it.
[00:22:37] You can do that one.
[00:22:39] Don't impose it on us. Okay?
[00:22:43] Because Paul didn't say that one.
[00:22:47] Paul gave us the one that he said he got from Jesus.
[00:22:52] Okay, so that's the one that I want. Yeah, but that one is in the Bible. Yes, but so what if it's in the Bible? Does it mean that that is from God? Because everybody thinks that if something is in the Bible, it's from God. No, that one must be from James, because the one that is from God, you can trace it.
[00:23:09] You can trace it back to Genesis.
[00:23:13] All right? And their witnesses. At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. So we have the testimony, the witness of the apostle who? The apostle Paul.
[00:23:22] And then in this episode, now I'm going to show you the witness and the testimony of Jesus Christ regarding faith.
[00:23:29] And Jesus Christ never said, faith without works is dead.
[00:23:33] If he did show me, then we can discuss. I can sit back and we can. Do you understand? And Moses wrote about the testimony of the faith of God in Genesis, chapter one.
[00:23:46] There were no works there. All it says was, God said, finish.
[00:23:52] God said, things changed before. God said, nothing changed. So what is faith? Okay, so. Because if you think, shingi, where are you getting this? Because I know some of you, some of you, you like to work.
[00:24:07] You like to do things. I want to do what the word says. I want to find out what the word says so I can do what the word says and then finish. So that when I don't get the result, I can go to God and say, I did what you said and I didn't get the result, so I can learn and grow. But now if I follow what some other guy said then, and I don't get the result, then I go to God. And I'm angry and I'm desirous. And then some people, actually, some people who are offended at God, they are offended with God, not because God did something to them, but it's because they followed somebody who told them something that they did not verify with God, and that thing didn't work. And they got upset and offended, and they got upset and go, you know, I've been around christians for years.
[00:24:56] I've been around christians for decades. I've seen, I know them.
[00:25:00] You understand? And you look and you be like, ha. Hey. Okay. So now there's the testimony of Jesus about faith.
[00:25:08] And what Jesus said about faith is the same thing that the apostle Paul said about faith. And when Moses was writing about the faith of God in Genesis, chapter one, it's the same thing. It's consistent.
[00:25:20] Why would you want to argue with that?
[00:25:27] But you see, most ministers, they will be wrestling with you, with James. James said, because what? Because they want to make, they want to deliver an excuse as to why.
[00:25:43] Maybe you came to them and they were in counseling, and you said to them, I put my face to work and it didn't work, and said, where are your works? Because now they want to explain why this thing probably didn't work.
[00:25:55] They want to explain it away. So they use that teaching of James as an excuse for why the person didn't get to, why the person didn't get the results.
[00:26:08] Because now they don't know what to say. They don't know what to say now.
[00:26:12] Because also that man of God, whoever, when he was taught about faith, he probably wasn't taught properly. So he also got, you know, a diluted message. So it's also, for him, it's hit and miss, hit and miss. Hit and miss.
[00:26:25] But with Jesus, it was not hit and miss. Every time accurate. Every time accurate. So now whose definition, whose knowledge, whose understanding, whose teaching of faith do you want to follow? So let's go to the source. Cut off the middleman.
[00:26:41] Cut off the middleman. So until the Holy Spirit was like, shinki, cut off the middleman. Go to the source. I went to the source, okay? And I was like, why was I going round, round like this? When the source is like, it's here, this is it.
[00:26:54] Glory to God. So are you ready? Are you ready?
[00:27:09] Have you ever read two corinthians 413? Amazing.
[00:27:17] Amazing. That is poor. So now what are we talking about here? These are the describing words, the describing phrases. Faith, the describing phases. So from Romans, chapter ten, from verse six to ten, you find the describing phases, the describing phrases of faith. So you find it says, faith speaks. There's a describing word that gives you a definition, all right? And then you go, says the spoken word of faith. So there's the describing word before the word pistons before the word first spoken word. Rhema says that there was spoken word of faith. Okay? And then he goes on. Then he says, if you confess with your mouth, it says, and you believe in your heart. And it says, there's the word in your mouth and there's the word in your heart. Then in verse ten, he explains to you what the word in your mouth is doing and what the one in your heart is doing. It says, the one, the word of God that is in your heart is dwelling in your heart. The one that is in your heart is belief. It's not faith. And belief. We said last week that it is to think. The word is peace. To it's not peace. It's ps. Two and piece two is to think to be true.
[00:28:20] So you receive, you heard the word. And there was a persuasion that made you to think that it is true that Jesus was raised from the dead. That is believing, but it is not faith.
[00:28:36] So now in your mind, in your heart, you accept that Jesus Christ died. He lived and died and got raised from the dead even though you were not there.
[00:28:47] That's believing.
[00:28:50] But then when you take now that believing, the one, that word of God that is in your heart, and now when you say it in that present continuous, that present continuous spoken word of persuasion, that is faith.
[00:29:10] That is faith. It's a present continuous spoken word of persuasion, all right? That's why it says faith comes by hearing. So the hearing is the speaking that is persuading you, all right, to believe that word of God that is being spoken to you, spoken. It's a present continuous. It's active, okay? And you are hearing it. And then you hear it. And then you accept it in your mind. That is when that word now is now in your thoughts and you accept it. You don't reject it. You accept it when you accept it and you say, ah, I accept that this is true, you have believed, that is belief, that is peace too. So it says with your heart, and we said your heart. Your heart. There is talking about your spirit and your soul, because your soul is a component of your spirit. It's not a component of your body, okay? And this is when, now when you have accepted, when you speak the spoken word, I the spoken word of that word that you have received, that is faith. And we will see it here with the testimony of Jesus Christ. But before we go there, I will show you another describing word, describing phrase of faith. Two Corinthians, chapter four.
[00:30:23] Let's look at it quickly.
[00:30:27] Two Corinthians, chapter four.
[00:30:30] So when you see all these describing words, two corinthians 413. Let me read it. Let's, let's see, what does it say?
[00:30:39] It says, we, having the same spirit of faith, says, according as it is written, says, I believed.
[00:30:49] Now he's talking about the spirit of it says, I believed and said, believing happens in your heart. And it says, and therefore have I spoken. And it says, we also believe and therefore speak. Ah, there you have it again.
[00:31:04] There you have it again.
[00:31:07] The spoken word.
[00:31:10] The spoken word. The spoken word of God.
[00:31:15] The present continuous state of spoken persuasion.
[00:31:20] So it's continuous. You are saying it. You're saying, Pastor Chris was saying, keep saying it. What is that? Keep saying it. Don't stop. What is that? Why? Because the moment, where does faith start? Faith starts when you open your mouth and you start to speak. And faith ends when you close your mouth.
[00:31:39] Because when you close your mouth and it's now in your heart, it's belief. The word says, it's belief. Says your heart believes, your heart doesn't. Faith. You could have written it in your heart. Faith works all right, but it says in your heart. In your heart, you believe with your heart. Man believes. He could have said, with your heart, faith. But he says, with your heart, believe. He didn't say with your heart, but with your heart peace. This he says, with your heart peace too. Two different. And he wasn't confused.
[00:32:13] Okay, you saw that again, another describing scripture of faith. It says, I believed, and therefore have I spoken, because we also believe and therefore speak.
[00:32:28] So the word spoken persuasion, and then you accept it when you speak. It's now faith.
[00:32:35] Faith has started. But if you believe and then you don't do anything, then.
[00:32:44] Okay, so now let's look at Jesus. What did Jesus say? Say, what did Jesus say?
[00:32:59] Now? Mark 1120. Let's go. Says, and in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. They saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. Verse 21. And Peter, calling to remembrance, said unto him, master, behold, the fig tree which you curse is withered away. Verse 22. Now we're getting into Jesus now starts to teach them how this works. How is this possible?
[00:33:25] Okay, now I need you to listen and to pay attention. Times a thousand, okay, times a thousand. And put in remembrance. Put the stuff in remembrance. What the apostle Paul said, what we said. The apostle Paul said, ah. Faith is the present continuous state of spoken persuasion.
[00:33:46] Faith is the spoken word. Says with your mouth.
[00:33:51] Alleluia.
[00:33:53] Says the word is in your mouth. If you confess with your mouth that spoken word of faith. Now, keep that at the back of your mind as we read. Now Jesus is teaching on faith, verse 22. And Jesus answering said unto them, have faith in God.
[00:34:14] He says, look, the fig tree that you cursed is withered away. And then Jesus's response was like, have faith in God. Now, what he actually said there says that, have the faith of God.
[00:34:28] Or what, you know, they will say that, have the God faith. Have the God kind of. What, what you say, the God. Some of you have heard this terminal. The God kind of faith. What he's saying is that this is the faith of God. What is the faith of God? The faith of God.
[00:34:44] If you get some time, we have go and look at the faith of God that Jesus was referring to. What is the faith of God? Jesus said that, I do. I only do that which I see with my father.
[00:34:55] So where did he see this with his father? He saw it in the scripture. He saw it in the scripture.
[00:35:02] Okay. It says, have the faith of God. What are we talking about? We're talking about triumph. The faith of the word of God. The faith of the word of God. Faith in accordance with what the word of God says. Hey, let's finish it. Let's get into Jesus teaching on faith. So, okay, so many people, amazing and beautiful teachings on faith. Now, Jesus is now teaching. He starts off his teaching, he says, have the faith of God. Okay, you want to know what happened to the fig tree? What happened to the fig tree? Is the faith of God. The God kind of faith? And then now in verse 23, now he teaches on it. Okay? Remember what the apostle Paul taught on it and what he said. Now keep that. And now let's compare it compared to what jesus says in his teaching of faith. Okay? This is the, this is the guy who got 100% results with his thing, as he has proved with the fig tree, says the following day.
[00:36:08] And what it says. And Jesus answered and said unto it, no man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever.
[00:36:18] And the disciples heard it and then says, look, the tree which you cursed has withered away. Jesus didn't do star jumps. Jesus didn't kneel down when he said this. Jesus didn't.
[00:36:31] His hands were not lifted up. His hands were not, you know, behind him. He wasn't doing a dance while he was saying it. He just answered. The Bible says he just spoke. Ah. And the disciples heard words. All right? And then he walked away from the tree. Ki yaya. What is it?
[00:36:52] The spoken word of God. The spoken word.
[00:36:57] Hey, apostle James. Apostle James, where are your works? Where are the works? Here, show us the works. What is the works? The actual work and the actual.
[00:37:06] The action of faith is the declaration. The action of faith is the declaration. Faith. Action is in its declaration. Ki yaya. Quote me. Okay, now let's look at it. Now, you could. And then let's.
[00:37:21] Let's put it against what the scriptures say. Do you understand? Okay. Verse 23. Jesus. Hey, hey. This is Yeshua, Jesus teaching about faith, the faith of God. Ha.
[00:37:38] Let's read it. It says, for verily, I say unto you. So he's telling you that most assuredly, hallelujah. Says, this is the. There's no. There's no greater truth. There's. There's no other way I can express this truth unto you. Most assuredly, I say unto you, every time Jesus starts off his teaching like that, you need to pay attention, because what he's going to say is absolute truth, absolute reality.
[00:38:04] Okay, so say, verily, I say unto you that whosoever.
[00:38:12] Who is that you are you. Whosoever.
[00:38:16] Anybody. Ah. I like Jesus. When he talk, says, any whosoever. Ha.
[00:38:23] Then listen. Says, whosoever shall say.
[00:38:30] Whosoever shall say. Whosoever shall say. Now, there are two words there that are translated. Say. Okay, the first one, it says, most assuredly, I say, now he's talking about describe. I am explaining unto you, say, that, which is the same one that the apostle Paul used when he said faith speaks, he said, faith Lego. So now he said, most assuredly, I say, verily, I say, I Lego. All right. And then.
[00:38:52] And then when in his description of faith, now, he begins to say, whosoever shall say. He didn't use Lego here. Now, he used Epos. Like I remember I told you that there are many words, many phrases that were used to describe, to say, to speak, to utter. To command. You understand?
[00:39:08] Okay. But now, Epo is speaking, or ippo, Epo, whatever you want to call it, is referring to commanding, or answering. Answering in command, right? Speaking in an. In a command. Hallelujah. So here it says, whosoever shall declare. Declaring with a command. Whosoever shall say. And then it says unto this mountain.
[00:39:37] Ha. Okay. Whosoever shall say. Ha. You say, whosoever shall wave at it. Right? Whosoever shall. Shall. Shall take an axe, or whosoever shall bring cranes to remove it. Whosoever shall. Do you understand? It says, whosoever shall say.
[00:40:01] Faith is the spoken word, the present continuous state of spoken persuasion.
[00:40:11] You speak and you remain persuaded about what you're saying unwavering. And you walk away from the fig tree like Jesus. That is faith.
[00:40:21] That's the faith of God. That is the faith of the word of God. That is faith in accordance with the word of God. Okay, let's finish. It says, be removed and be cast into the sea. Says, if you say it is if you do it. He didn't say if you work it, it is if you say it. This is the master teaching.
[00:40:45] So thank you, Brother James. Okay, but I want to do this one. Okay. The one that Jesus taught, because the one that Jesus taught is all you can see. You can hear it. That is the same one that the apostle Paul taught. Okay, I'll show. I'll prove it to you. I'll. Let's finish it. It says, be thou removed and be thou catch unto the sea. And it says, and shall not doubt. Doubt where? What does it say?
[00:41:14] He says, you shall not doubt in his heart.
[00:41:19] Paul said, you either believe with your heart. Hey, you see it? You see now? So belief and doubt works in your heart.
[00:41:30] So Jesus is this teaching of Paul and the teaching of Jesus are the same. So Jesus said that you have to say this with your mouth, but when you say it with your mouth, don't doubt in your heart. You must believe in your heart. Okay, let's finish. It says, but shall not. So he says, doubt and believing is working in your hearts. Okay.
[00:41:53] It says, but then you have to say something for faith to work says, but shall not doubt in his heart.
[00:42:00] The apostle Paul, Romans, chapter ten, verse ten, says that you believe with the heart man believes. So if with the heart man believes, then that means that with the heart man doubts, which is what Jesus is saying here. Okay, let's finish it.
[00:42:14] It says, but shall believe in where? In your heart.
[00:42:19] Okay. And says that those things which he saith, you must believe, you must believe. You don't. So it says there's a working that is happening in your heart where you have to accept. You have to accept. Hallelujah. That Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. That you have to accept says, don't doubt in your hearts. And we said that word believe there means to what to think to be true. To doubt means to think, to not to think, to be true.
[00:42:51] Okay? So that when the information comes, you think not, you won't think it to be true. So what he's saying is that I stood in front of the fig tree, and what I thought about the fig tree, what would happen to the fig tree. I didn't doubt. I knew that when I say this, this is what's going to happen to the tree that is the faith of God.
[00:43:11] So the teaching of faith that the apostle Paul gave us is the same one of the teaching of faith that the Lord Jesus Christ taught.
[00:43:20] So now we've got two accounts, two witnesses says, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass, he shall have it doesn't get better. He says, he says, he, he shall have whatsoever he does. No, says, he shall have whatsoever he saith.
[00:43:46] Oh, the apostle, the apostle James was trying to tell us that you shall have whatsoever you do, you shall have whatsoever you work.
[00:43:55] But Jesus and the apostle Paul were like, hey, no, you shall have whatsoever you say. You shall have what you say. If you confess with your mouth, says, this thing is working in your mouth. Faith is working in your mouth. Believe in your heart. Jesus says, don't doubt in your heart. Believe in your heart. Don't doubt in your heart. And what is doubt is to think. What is faith? What is to believe is to think to be true.
[00:44:21] And doubt is to think it, think it not to be true. So when they tell you that Jesus was born of a version doubt, would you to think it not to be true?
[00:44:35] Because whosoever that is are you, do you? Do you, do you, are you included in the whosoever? I like that. When Jesus said whosoever because it excluded nobody, that excludes me. That includes you. You are also whosoever.
[00:44:52] If you shall say, I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, I am the healed of God. I walk in strength. I walk in victory. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.
[00:45:09] My path is as the shining sun. It shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. My life is from glory to glory. My life is going upward and forward only. What am I doing? What is this? This is the present continuous state. The present continuous state of spoken persuasion. This is faith.
[00:45:28] I'm walking in prosperity 24 hours a day. I'm walking in prosperity. I'm walking in abundance. I'm prosperous. I'm a success. I'm a success. Whatsoever I lay my hands upon to do prospers, whatsoever I lay my hands upon to do the success, everything that I get involved with it is going to work. Everything that I get involved with will succeed. Glory to God. Hey, ah, ay, ay, ay.
[00:45:55] Says, whosoever shall say.
[00:46:01] Whosoever shall say. What are you saying? What are you saying?
[00:46:06] What are you saying?
[00:46:08] Oh, hallelujah. What does the word of God say about you. Hey. It says your path is from one level of glory unto another. That is my life. From one level of glory unto another. Shinge, what is happening in your life? I'm moving from one level of glory unto another.
[00:46:24] I'm greater today than I was yesterday. I'm greater today than I was last year. I'm greater today because my path is as the shining sun. It shines brighter and brighter.
[00:46:36] So there's more glory in my life in this year than there was last year. Aye. Aye. Come next week, the word of God in me would have developed. The word of God in me would have increased. I'll be at a higher level. I'll be at a higher understanding. I keep growing. I keep increasing. I keep making impact. I'm making impact. I make an impact.
[00:47:02] Faith is the spoken word of God. Jesus said, if you shall say so, just keep saying it. He said, if you shall say, if you shall say, I am a success, I am prosperous. I'm going somewhere. I'm going somewhere. I'm going somewhere to happen. I'm going somewhere to prosper. Everywhere I'm going, things work. Some people, they don't think or believe that if they do something, it will work. They'll succeed in it.
[00:47:38] So now what do they need to do to change that? To change? Now you now need to reprogram. Reprogram. Reprogram your heart from this doubt. Reprogram your heart from doubt unto believing. Now you believe that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. You believe that you are in health and you walk in strength. You believe. You change it. How do you change it? You change it with that present continuous state of spoken persuasion. You keep talking it. You keep saying it. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is upon my life. It doesn't matter where I am. It doesn't matter where I find myself. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work in my life. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is at work in me. There's grace, there is favor. When I get into a place, that place changes. There is success, there something. There is all to come out of there. There will be a result.
[00:48:37] So whatever I get involved with, there will be a result. Whatever I get involved with, it will succeed.
[00:48:46] Nothing can stop my progress. Nothing can stop my success. Nothing can stop my victory. Nothing can stop my joyous. Nothing can stop the glory of God in my life. Ay, ay, ay. What kind of life is this? What kind of life is this?
[00:49:07] For verily I say unto you, whosoever shall say unto this mountain.
[00:49:13] This is Jesus teaching on faith. Says, whosoever shall say. Whosoever shall say.
[00:49:21] I don't know what else, God, what you want God to do for you? He's giving you the keys, he's giving you the tools. He's giving you the equipment to change your life. Says, whosoever shall say and shall not doubt in his heart. Paul said that with the heart, man believes. Jesus is telling you that doubt and believing works in your heart. It's not faith that is working in your heart.
[00:49:46] Says, either you are believing in your heart according to Romans, chapter ten, verse ten, or you are doubting with your heart according to Mark, chapter eleven, verse 23. So believing in doubt works in your heart, and we explain what the heart is, but it says, but then what you want to do is you want to but believe. Haha. What is that? To think to be true, you have to think it to be true. In your heart. Think it to be true. Hallelujah. If you don't think it to be true, he says, present continuous state. Hallelujah. Of what? Of spoken persuasion. You now need to persuade your heart. Persuade your heart. Persuade your heart. As you speak, you persuade your heart.
[00:50:32] And what starts to happen? There starts to be a reprogramming, a reprogramming of your heart. A reprogramming of your thinking. Says, be not conformed unto this world, but be transformed, be transfigured. Metamorpho, be transfigured, says, by the renewing of your mind, by the renew, says, you have to renew. You have to, by the reprogram, you have to reprogram your heart, because that's where believing and doubt works. So you have to continue in this present continuous state of spoken persuasion. This is faith. You have to program it every day. If it's like, oh, if you think, I'm not gonna make it, I'm not gonna, ah. When. When your heart starts to give you those thoughts, you're not gonna make it. And the devil comes to you and says, ah, shinki, you're not making it out of this one. You're not making it. And then you say, ah.
[00:51:26] You get up and you start pacing the floor. Hallelujah. I'm a success. I'm a success going everywhere. I'm happening everywhere. Everything that I lay my hands upon to do prospers. If I get involved with it, it's going to work. It's going to work. The devil's like, you're not going to make it. Says, I'm going to make it. Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. You have to respond. The Bible says Jesus answered and said, hey, you wake up and you see your life. It looks like it's not going anywhere. How do you make sure?
[00:51:58] What is the guarantee that your life will be better tomorrow? How can you guarantee that your life will be better in a better situation tomorrow? There's only one way.
[00:52:09] It says, through faith. Kaya, we understand that the worlds were framed by the spoken word of God.
[00:52:19] That is the only guarantee that the word of God has given us. Hi. It says, if there's going to be a change, it is going to be by faith. If this thing is going to change. The word of God is telling us that it is faith that will change it. If you are going to live victorious, the word of God is telling you that it is going to be by faith. He says faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
[00:52:44] And now Jesus taught us what faith is. The apostle Paul told us what faith is. So now we know what faith is in accordance with what the word of God says it is is. Then we start to apply it. AI yaya. I am prosperous. I am great. I am prosperous. I am great. I am impactful. I am here for something. I am not a mistake. I am here for something. I have a purpose in life. I am walking in my purpose. I am fulfilling my purpose. I am fulfilling my purpose.
[00:53:14] Glory to God.
[00:53:17] I dont know what happens with you when you study your Bible. What happens with you when you read these words in from your Bible?
[00:53:25] Jesus says, have the faith of God.
[00:53:28] Okay, okay, so we saw the example of the fig tree. The Bible says, Jesus answered and said, no man eats fruit of you forever. No one. Can you look at, let's look at a famous example just in case, just in case some of you are still nothing. Now when you now understand this principle of faith and how it works, now you know what jesus had confidence in.
[00:54:01] He now the confidence of Jesus was, hey.
[00:54:06] Because he understood that faith was a principle. Okay, let me, let's, let's look. So now you can begin. You can pick any miracle of Jesus, anyone, random, random miracle. You can open any book and say, shinki, this is a miracle of Jesus. Show us the description where faith is worked here. Okay, now I'll look at, I'll give you. So now this one is an example where Jesus used his faith. Okay, why? Because he's the one that was speaking. How do you know that was Jesus's faith is because he's the one that spoke. And the Bible says, and the disciples heard it.
[00:54:47] And then when they asked him about it, he says, have the faith of God. Have the God kind of faith. Okay, let's look at a famous example.
[00:54:57] You see this thing now even more clear now? Why? Because there's the teaching. There's a teaching. And then the Bible also gives us accounts of the testimonies, how this faith works with its results.
[00:55:12] That's why I love the Bible.
[00:55:16] Okay, let's go. Matthew, chapter five. I'll read from verse 20.
[00:55:26] Let me start from verse 21, because it's a beautiful. It's a beautiful. Because there is two stories. It's talking about two miracles. Two miracles here in one. Was doing two in one here. Okay. Killed two birds with 1 st. Okay? So.
[00:55:41] And when jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him, and he was near unto the sea. And behold, there cometh one of the rulers from the synagogue, Jairus by name. And when he saw him, he fell at his feet and besought him greatly, saying, my little daughter lied at the point of death.
[00:55:57] Says, my little daughter is lying and is about to die. Says, I pray you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed and she shall live.
[00:56:07] And jesus went with him, and much people followed him and thronged him. Verse 25. And a certain woman. Ah, this is the first miracle, right? So the introduction of this thing comes from, he's on his way. He's not even going to this woman. He's passing by to go to minister to the little girl that is sick in bed.
[00:56:30] Verse 25. And a certain woman which had an issue of blood twelve years. Verse 26. And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse. Verse 27. When she had, ah, says, when she had heard of g, I like this one. Oh, glory to God.
[00:56:50] When she had heard of Jesus, ah, she heard of Jesus.
[00:56:56] She heard about Jesus.
[00:57:00] Oh, glory to God. When she heard of Jesus, came in the press behind and touched his garment. Verse 28. Ah, I want you to mark the first three words of verse 28.
[00:57:14] And then when you mark them like that, you must now write, faith equals the spoken word right there next to it in your notes in your Bible. Faith is spoken word, right says, for she said, remember, jesus is just walking by. So Jesus is not participating in this miracle, in the working of this miracle at all.
[00:57:39] So it is not Jesus faith that is at work here.
[00:57:44] It is the woman's faith that is at work here. All right. And jesus recognized it because he was just passing by. So how did she activate her faith? Where did her. Where did the faith of this woman work?
[00:57:58] It worked here. In verse 28, the spoken word says, for she said, if I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. That is when she said it. Aye. I don't know how else you want this thing to be explained. Because it's there like it's there. Anybody that has a doubt to say, okay, this is. This is it says, for she said these things were in the script. I didn't write them there. I didn't put them there. I know you read them, but you probably didn't see them. But pneumaticos. Anacrino. Pneumaticos.
[00:58:36] Pneumaticos. Sofia pneumaticos. Epic gnosis is at work in some of us.
[00:58:42] So when we read, we see certain things that other people don't see. Why? Because we've prayed those prayers of the spirit. Hallelujah. That the God of our father, of our Lord Jesus Christ. May grant you the spirit of wisdom and apocalypses. In the epic gnosis, in the knowledge of him, in the knowledge of God, in the knowledge of the word. So that when you read the word, you have this spiritual intelligence to understand spiritual things and to be able to catch them. Hallelujah. Because God has concealed them. And it is the honor of kings to search them out.
[00:59:18] Says, for she said.
[00:59:20] For she said, what are you saying? She said, if I may touch but the clothes, but his clothes, I shall behold. And straight away. Verse 20. And straight away, the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she fell in her. She felt in her body.
[00:59:38] Ah, she felt in her body. I want. I want to. I want. I want to show you something, okay? And it's going to blow you away. About how faith works.
[00:59:50] About it. Because it distinguishes faith and it distinguishes works.
[00:59:57] Okay. It separates it. Okay, let's continue to read.
[01:00:04] It says. And straight away, the fountain of her blood was dried up. And she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. Verse 30. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him. Turned him about in the press. He was being pressed from everywhere. Hallelujah. And he said, who touched my clothes? Verse 31. And his disciples said unto him, do you not see that the multitude is thronging you? And can't you see? And now I says, and why? How do you now say, who touched? Because everybody is touching you. There is a crowd. Everybody is touching you. What are you saying? What do you mean, who touched me? So the disciples were like, hey, what are you saying? Everybody's touching you here, right? But.
[01:00:51] But there was a different touch.
[01:00:54] So. So it's not the touch. Everybody was doing the same action. Everybody was thronging Jesus. Everybody was reaching for touch him. But there was a different touch. What made the touch of the woman different to everybody, to the crowds? Touch faith?
[01:01:11] For she said, yeah, she set a time for her miracle. She set a time through faith. She set a time for her miracle. But she said, if I may just touch his clothes, I shall be made whole. That was a different touch. Everybody was touching. So it's not the action. Listen, it's not in the action. Listen, it's not in the doing. It's not in the action.
[01:01:36] The miracle is not in the action. That touch, that was a touch of faith. What made it a touch of faith? For she said, she said, she said, she said it, aya. She said it. Everybody else was touching him, but they never said anything, so nothing happened.
[01:01:59] What are you saying, kaa? What are you saying about your life? What are you saying about your calling? What are you saying about your business? What are you saying about your finances? What are you saying about your children? What are you saying about your spouse? What are you saying about your city? What are you saying about your family?
[01:02:15] She said, whoo.
[01:02:19] Okay, let's finish it. If you. If you're still not convinced.
[01:02:23] Verse 32. And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. Verse 33. But the woman fearing and trembling, the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him and told him all the truth. Verse 34. And he said unto her, listen to Jesus says, daughter, your faith.
[01:02:45] When did her faith do this? When she said so, jesus knew that for her to be able to receive this miracle, she must have said something for virtue to be able to leave him in such a manner for her to receive this miracle.
[01:03:01] Because there was a crowd that was touching, that was reaching out and touching Jesus.
[01:03:10] Hey, so Jesus said that your faith, ah, says your faith. Let me say my faith.
[01:03:23] Says your faith. So every time it was somebody else's faith that produced the miracle, you'd see that that person would have said something.
[01:03:32] They would have said something to make their faith work, study. Go look at every miracle where Jesus and somebody else was involved.
[01:03:43] When it was his faith, he wouldn't say anything to the person.
[01:03:49] When it was the person's faith, he acknowledged the person's faith.
[01:03:53] And every time he acknowledged that person's faith, you'd find that when you study what that person did for Jesus, to say that it was your faith that made you whole, actually find out that that person had sent something.
[01:04:07] Faith is the spoken word. It is the spoken word. Don't keep quiet, keep saying, yeah, but the moment I say, I know, sometimes, you know, exercise my faith, gray. My faith. Hey.
[01:04:24] And I read these things and I find these things in the word. I'm like, this word is gonna have to work for me. It's gonna have to work. It's gonna have to work. Oh, maybe I'm experiencing something in my body. Maybe I'm experiencing something in my body. I remember one time we were doing some work around the townships here. We're doing some ministry work with the teens, with the teens in high schools. We're doing like an education program. Big, massive, you know, and I had to go and minister to some of the teams at a school, school in Kahalicha.
[01:05:00] And on my way there, I'm Dr.
[01:05:03] So I saw. So I finished work. So this is after. After I left the church office, I go home. But now I started to have this toothache, this toothache, this pain. Oh, my goodness.
[01:05:16] Oh.
[01:05:17] And I was like, I can't make it. But I was like, no, I have to make this meeting because those young people were waiting.
[01:05:25] So now I'm driving, I'm on my way, and I'm driving there. As I'm driving there, yo, I'm speaking into, why? Because I want to pray in tongues for this pain to go away. I want to drown. I'm drowning the pain. I said, I'm going to drown. I'm going to drench this pain in the anointing.
[01:05:45] I'm going to drench, I want to drench this pain. Ah, you know, a toothache. Ah, that one was terrible. And my head was, it was pounding in my head. Boom, boom. Like something, like somebody had a hammer and they were knocking. And I was like, I'm gonna go and minister.
[01:06:01] I'm holding onto the steering wheel and I'm like, at some point I was so in the spirit that it was the angels that were controlling the car because I was just, I couldn't hear anything. All I could hear was hours vibrating the whole vehicle with tongues. You know, there's some things as a child of God, some weapons, some things that you have to learn to use as a Christian. And I'm speaking it. This is, this is, these are the operations of the pneumaticos.
[01:06:32] And I'm there and my head is pounding because my tooth the toothache is too much. Hey, I'll tell you something. And then as soon I got there and I'm, now I'm sitting in the car, oh, the point was, yeah, and I'm, and you can see I could barely open my eyes because my a, the pain was, I've never had a toothache like that.
[01:06:58] Okay? And then, ah, now I'm talking. I, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Hey, in the name of Jesus. And I'm, hey, listen, you need to lay hands. Says you shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. So now you need to learn how to lay hands on yourself. Lay hands on yourself. Put the word to work. In the name of Jesus Christ, I command the pain for this tooth to go.
[01:07:22] And it will get worse. It will get worse. Let me tell you something interesting now I have to go in and face these young people and I have to deliver a message. I have to preach to them. Hey, then I'll get in there and as soon as I walk in, this is the difference between the anointing of the Holy Spirit, that is for you, for your personal life and the anointing of the Holy Spirit for ministry. They are different. Okay. The moment I walked into that classroom and those grade twelve learners were sitting there waiting for me to, the moment I walked in and I stood in front of him, the pain just left.
[01:07:59] And I'm like, ah, the pain is gone. Now I'm preaching to them, I'm preaching the word to them. I'm preaching because now the anointing has come, the anointing to preach, the anointing to teach is now. So now I recognize that the anointing is here. So now the pain is gone.
[01:08:13] So the pain I couldn't feel like nothing, like nothing happened, like nobody knows, like what happened from my journey from the house, from the church office all the way to this, to this, to this venue. Didn't know the fight that I was in, but I was talking, I was saying in the name of j, okay, as soon as I landed, the pain goes boom and I'm okay. So now I recognized that the anointing for ministry had now come on me. So now the pain was gone. Ah, then I delivered and I preached and I prayed. 1 hour, 45 minutes to an hour, I was done. I prayed for them, I blessed them, answered their question. Whatever salvation prayer, they got born again. Those that were getting born again, whatever those are, finished. Everything, no pain. No pain. And then I finished. All right. Then when I finished, as soon as I took a step out of the classroom.
[01:09:09] As soon as I stepped out of the classroom, something came and hit the tooth. It's like something coming. Was waiting for me at the door.
[01:09:18] It's like that devil knew that the moment I enter into the class, you know, that demons work like that. No matter the classroom, the demon knew, hey, there's too much firepower here. This guy is now is gonna, you know, there's an anointing that comes when he's, when he's ministering, okay? So as soon as I entered the classroom, that demon, so that demon waited for me to finish it. Was waiting for me at the door.
[01:09:42] Waiting for me at the door, like, okay, wait, let him finish preaching. Okay, as soon as he comes out, we're gonna hit his tooth again. So.
[01:09:51] Oh, my God. You know, when I'm tired, these people, yo, being in ministry, it's amazing the things that you experience.
[01:09:57] I got stories for, I got stories. Oh, my goodness. Okay, let me finish this one for you. Okay. So as soon as I step out of that classroom, that demon was waiting for me. And then, like, with the hammer, he went right to the same tooth at the same place.
[01:10:10] Then the pain came back like, like that. And then on my way back, I'm driving, and I couldn't open my mouth, and I was like, hey, man, what is this? Like? Well, you know, because I know that, that anointing to minister had lifted a, okay, that anointing, grace minister had lifted you. So that's the, that's the spirit that comes, it's inside you and it envelopes you. That when it envelopes you like that. Like who?
[01:10:33] As you're ministering, you're like, you are like in this, you're like, in this cloud, this sauna of warm. Of a warm. It's like a pillar, like a pillow. I understand what the pillow fire is like because it's, even though you just, there's just this heat of this manifestation of the presence of the manifestation of the spirit of God. Ah. So, I mean, there's, I'm like, oh, can I just stay here? But I can't stay here. You can't stay here. Now you have to leave. And then when you leave, it lifts.
[01:11:01] It lifts, and then now you have to now use, you know, that anointing. That is what that is for you.
[01:11:09] Now you have to work that one. You have to make sure that the word of God works with that one. Ah. Hey. So now as soon as I get into the car again, I'm driving back. I'm driving back home. Oh, that. That devil was waiting for me and they started to pound my head. I get home, as soon as I get home, I start walking because I. I can't even eat. I can't even do anything. I can't sleep because that demon is like you. We are going to kill you with this toothache today.
[01:11:37] It's like they got a pick and they're picking at my tooth and my head is blowing, banging, like pa. I was like, ah, if I don't kill this thing, this thing is going to kill me. Ah. So now I get up from. Because I can't even sleep now. It's been going on from the time I came back from, from ministering. And I'm walking in my room and I'm to ah. Ki yay.
[01:11:59] In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I curse. I curse. Ha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I curse this place. And then, hey, while I was doing that, I remembered. I remembered the teaching of Jesus. Listen, sometimes you just have to take the things that Jesus said and then you have to say them like Jesus said them. And then while I was pacing, probably 2nd first hour, because my head was heavy, it was. I was. I was going through a lot of pain, okay? And then, so then I, then in the middle of me speaking in tongues, talking, speaking. And I was like. And Jesus said that if you have says, if, if you shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in your heart, but shall believe that those things which you say shall come to pass, since you shall have whatsoever. Ah, then that word came, and I was like, I tell this toothache, kaya yaya, I command you now. In the name of Jesus Christ, be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea. Hallelujah. And never to return. In the name of Jesus, I command the pain to go. I command the toothache to go. Hey.
[01:13:09] And then I am walking and I'm pacing and I'm talking. I'm talking, AI. Whosoever shall say.
[01:13:17] And then the moment I was like, oh, now I'm exhausted, I'm tired. The moment when I, when I. When I went to the bed and I put my, my head on the pillow, then the pain left, never to return.
[01:13:30] Whosoever shall say.
[01:13:33] Whosoever shall say. And there are many, many, many other stories of things that I had to do. Things that I would look like. I'm not coming out. It looked like I'm not coming out.
[01:13:45] Hey, Shinki, you're not gonna make it out of this one. And the devils come now, and they try to remind you, like, ah, this one, nobody ever came out of this one. But then I remember the teaching of faith, and I'm like, okay, I'm going to do this thing and do, there's a result. Many testimonies, many miracles that I can share with you. But then I just wanted to share with you this one. So now Jesus said, hey, your faith, your faith, that saying that your spoken words, your spoken words of faith, the spoken word of faith, your spoken words of faith have made you whole. This is what faith is. It is the spoken word. It is a spoken word. You show you believe in your heart says that the things that you say, the things that you are saying, you must believe in the things that you are saying. Do you believe that the things that you are saying will come to pass? I believed in that moment of pain that if I tell this toothache to be cast into the sea, Jesus said, it will obey me, so it has to obey.
[01:14:46] I believed it, and it worked. I saw this thing. It worked, Aya.
[01:14:52] Okay, now let's finish it. Let's finish it. Let's finish it. Hey, says, daughter, your faith has made you whole. Go in, go into peace.
[01:15:01] Go in peace. And behold of your plague. Glory to God. That's verse 34.
[01:15:06] Ah, hallelujah. Now verse 36.
[01:15:12] Oh, okay, now let's go back to verse 35 while he. Because remember, he's on the journey. He's on the journey. While he yet speak. They came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, certain, which said, thy daughter is dead. Remember that guy that said, jesus, come, my daughter is not feeling well. She's laying in bed. Then Jesus said, only believe. And he was on his way there. So while this woman was, you know, intercepting, intercepting the miracle of this man and his daughter. And she got her miracle, you see, she pa with her faith. Glory to God. Some people say, oh, God, what about me? Why is God leaving me out? It seems like everybody else is progressing. Why is God leaving me? Ah, you're wasting time. Nobody is leaving. God is not leaving. God, God. Has God forgotten me? All my friends have gone ahead. Listen, God is not respect of persons. When you put your faith to work, there will be a result. There will be a result. So instead of there complaining, oh, all my friends are married, what about me? Ah, all my friends have jobs. What about me? Ah, all my friends have cars. What about me? Ah, all my friends have houses.
[01:16:17] You're wasting time. You're wasting time. You're wasting time. Begin to walk in your room and say, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He says, he says, if you shall say and you shall not doubt in your hearts, I'm making progress. I'm fulfilling my purpose. I live in prosperity 24 hours a day. I'm working. I'm on that job. I'm on that job. I used to run a program called Job creation.
[01:16:44] And these are the things that I used to teach them. And they always used to come with testimonies. And it worked with everybody all the time. Everybody. I just, just keep saying, just keep saying these things. Take them, come, let's talk them. And then I'll walk it through and then I'll have to say it with them. Let's do this. Let's do this. Let's what? This is what? This is the, the present continuous. The present continuous state of spoken persuasion. I'll put them into that space. I'll put them into that realm. That realm, that atmosphere of faith. And I'll say, now you have to say it. You have to say it. I am employed. I have a business. I am employed successfully. I'm gainfully employed. I gainfully run my business. My business is producing. My business is a success. My business has overcome the world. And everything that I lay my hands upon to do prospers.
[01:17:33] Because it is God that has given me the ability to produce wealth. And you're saying those things. Ah, God has given me the grace, the ability to produce wealth. That that ability is at work in me. That ability is at work in me.
[01:17:49] I'm gainfully employed. Oh, yeah. And I'm satisfied in my work. I'm satisfied in my vocation. I'm satisfied. Hallelujah. Hey. Glory to God at the right place.
[01:18:00] And I'll get them into that.
[01:18:07] And they always came back with testimonies every single time. Every single time. Faith is the spoken word of God. That is the faith of the word of God. Okay, so now this child, they brought the bad news. As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he said unto them, unto the ruler of the synagogue, be not afraid, only believe. Ha, ha, ha. And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, James, and John. And the brother of James. John, the brother of James, verse 38. And he cometh into the house of the rule of the synagogue and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly. And when he was come in, he said unto them, why make you this ado and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleep. See? What is he saying? He's responding to the weeping. He says, the damn. The child says, she's not dead, but she's asleep. If they only knew. If they only see the moment you start to, when you understand how faith works and you see how Jesus operated, now you can see how faith works.
[01:19:09] Jesus like, oh, my God, she's what? Yay.
[01:19:14] No pun intended. Okay. Jesus was like, oh, she's dead. No. That's what he said. Okay. He was like, no, don't. Why are you, why are you crying? She's not dead, but she's asleep. Ah, what is, jesus is talking. He's speaking. He's released. He's putting his faith to work. He's working the miracle. This is when he begins to work the miracle.
[01:19:38] Verse 40. And they laughed, him. They're like, this one. He's lost his mind. Listen until people say, you have lost your mind and laugh at you. But the things that you are saying, you haven't started. You haven't started.
[01:19:51] Why? Because they that are pneumaticus. Hallelujah. They judge all things. They discern. They distinguish all things. Hallelujah. They speak wisdom among them that are mature. Hey, not that, but yet not the wisdom of this world, of all the princes of this world that come to naught. But they speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, in esoteric language.
[01:20:12] So Jesus comes in, and he's speaking the wisdom of God, and he says, the damsel is not dead, but she's asleep. And they laughed him to scorn. So that's why the apostle Paul was saying that the things that are of the spirit of God says, the natural man receives not the things of the spirit of God, because they are foolishness unto him. Hallelujah. And they are what they are pneumaticos, Anacreno. They are spiritually understood. So now these people, they laugh at jesus. But when he had put them all out, he put his go out.
[01:20:39] Jesus didn't play. It's like, oh, you laugh at me. Okay, all of you out.
[01:20:44] Says he takes the father and the mother of the damsel. Then they were with him and entered in where the damsel was lying. Verse 41. And he took the damsel. He took the damsel by the hand and said, hi, listen. You see it again. You see faith, this is where faith, this is where the faith of Jesus is put to work. He grabbed the damsel by the hand, and then he said something, kaya yah. And it says. And then he said, talitha kumi, which is being interpreted. Interpreted. Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
[01:21:21] That is faith in action. Aya, verse 42. And straight away the damsel arose and walked, for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with great astonishment. And he charged them straightly that no man should know it, and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
[01:21:44] That's another miracle. You see that principle of faith being put to work there, and we are over time.
[01:21:52] Okay, so we looked at the apostle Paul in our previous episode. We looked at Apostle Paul now we looked at the testimony of Jesus, glory to God.
[01:22:01] And we can look as well at some other examples of Jesus in our next episode. So now this is how you're going to live triumphantly in this season.
[01:22:11] This is how you're going to live in triumph. Faith. Faith, if it's going to change. So you see, based on the things that we've discussed here, now you can take these definitions and these descriptions of faith that the scriptures have given us, and you can now go and look at all the miracles of Jesus Christ. And you begin to see this principle jump out as Jesus Christ worked it and the results, the testimony of the results that he got.
[01:22:40] Okay? And then you can also, we can also look, maybe if we have some time in next week's episode to look at the examples of the apostles where they put the same principles to work.
[01:22:51] Okay.
[01:22:54] Faith is the spoken word, right? So you have to be saying something. You have to speak the word. You have to take the word, that word that you've now accepted. You have accepted it. That this is truth. This is the reality, this is my truth. This is the reality that God says. This is the truth for you as a child of God. And then you don't stop there, because that word that is in your heart, that word that you retain in your mind, that you have accepted and you have retained in your heart, it is in your heart, it resides in your heart as belief. It's not faith yet. So a lot of God's children, which is the mistake that also I ran into where I thought, I thought I was believing. I thought I was in faith. No, I was not in faith. I was believing. Why? Because it was the word of God that I accepted that was in my heart. But that word was inactive.
[01:23:48] So I had to now begin to the moment. Now I had to begin to now activate faith. Right from where it starts. It starts somewhere. The Bible shows us that it starts somewhere. Look, study the miracles of Jesus. It started somewhere, all right? And it always started with it when every time he opened up his mouth. Go and look at all. Study all the miracles of Jesus, if it was not Jesus's faith. You study and you see that it was the person, the recipient of the miracle that started their faith somewhere. And every time it started with what the person said, said. Which tells you from this study that faith starts when a person speaks.
[01:24:35] Because faith is the spoken word of God. It's the spoken word. Hallelujah. The spoken word. All right? And it is that present, continuous, present continuous state of spoken persuasion.
[01:24:53] Okay?
[01:24:54] That means no matter what is going on, no matter what you're ExPeRIEncing, no matter what it looks like, you KeeP saying, you are in a state of spoken persuasion. Hallelujah. You are in a state of spoken persuasion. The Bible says AbRahaM staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, he says, but was strong in faith. And he was doing something, he was saying something. He was giving glory to goddess, giving glory to God.
[01:25:21] So it's a present, continuous state of spoken persuasion. That is the faith of God. That is the faith of the word of God. Hallelujah. That is the faith we'll study in our next episode, the faith of AbRaHaM. And we'll see, like, what the Bible says about that. My name is Shingi. I love you. This is triumph. The faith of the word of God. Put these things to work. Go and study the scriptures. Go and study the miracles of Jesus. We'll look at some of TheM in the next episode as well, and we'll see how faith works, what faith is. So we studied the testimony of Paul. We looked at the TeStimony of james that a lot of people like to use, and some people get confused by, and they start doing all kinds of crazy things, you know? And, you know, they get even more confused when they're trying to understand faith with all these testimonies and all these different. But then when you take the one of the apostle Paul, and now when you take the one of Jesus, and then we'll look at the one, the faith of God, the one that Jesus referenced. When he says, have the faith of God, what was Jesus talking about? He was talking about the faith that God demonstrated in Genesis, chapter one. Okay, we'll look at that one because that is the reference of where he taught his. He gave his teaching about faith. So it's also important to go and study that one. And then we can look at also the testimony of the father of faith, which is Abraham. Hallelujah, the father of faith. And we'll look at his testimony, and then from there, now you can begin to actually see and understand what the word of God says faith is. And then now you can begin to walk in victory. You begin to walk in triumph. No matter where you find yourself in life, hallelujah. You always be on top. You always be so Jesus, every time, Jesus was like, okay, why are you unbelieving? Where is your faith? Every time? Why? Because he was never perturbed. He was never disturbed. He was never anxious. Because he understood the principle of faith and how it worked. And he knew that whatever came, whatever came to confront him, when he applied the faith of God to it, there was always a miracle. Glory to God. My name is Shingi. I love you. This is what the word says. And remember, this is your time.
