There are a lot of people right now who are concerned about
what's happening. Questions are being asked about
Iran and etcetera, etcetera. And there's fear.
There is all kinds of talk, there are deliberations.
And so I want to show you whenever people come with
opinions, never take an opinion over the word of God.
You. Must always look at the word of
God when it. Comes to these things.
In Matthew 24, I'm not going to read it this morning, but in
Matthew 24 Jesus speaks about the signs.
Of the times that will. Manifest just before he returns
and you can say to me this morning, pastor, do you believe
in a pre tribulation rapture mid or post?
Well, I want to tell you this morning, I believe in a pre.
There are many more scriptures to support a pre tribulation
rapture than a mid and certainly not a post.
You're in big trouble if you believe that you're going to go
through it all at the end just to get it at the end.
But the reason why I believe in a pre revelation rapture is
because, and I'll give you just a couple of reasons.
I won't go into all of them this morning, but in Matthew 24 we
know the Bible says no man knows the day or the hour.
However, Jesus gave us identities.
Signposts if it were. To recognize the season of his
return so you can. Recognize the season and he
lists them in Matthew 24. And he speaks about as it was in
the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Noah, if you have a
look in the days of Noah, they were having parties, they were
getting married. They were a life was.
Carrying on, in fact, wickedness was increasing, but man, mankind
was increasing. And so remember 6 years ago this
month when everything shut down? And people said, is this the
end? Well, you got to go to the.
Word. And we knew this wasn't the end
because remember, you couldn't have more than five people if
you wanted to get married. So that certainly is not the
end, because Jesus said as it was in the days of Noah, so they
were having parties, there was no lockdown, there was no
restriction. They were just living life as
normal. People said we'll never get back
to normal because they'd haven't read the word of God.
And then Jesus said as it was in the days of Sodom, Sodom was a
wicked place, a wicked city. Now I know there's wickedness in
this world, there's wickedness in this nation, that we're not
at the place of wickedness where an Angel manifests and the men
of the city are chasing him down to try and get ahold of them.
We're not at that level of wickedness yet.
So say with me, it's going to get darker and darker, it will
become more wicked. But for the righteous, the light
gets brighter and brighter until the dawning of that great and
glorious day. Hallelujah.
So it's bad news for the Sinner. It's bad news for the wicked.
It's bad news for the world, But it is always good news for the
child of Jesus Christ. And when Jesus lists the
science, he goes on to speak about the fig tree.
Now, how many of you know what the fig tree is that he spoke
about? He said when you see the fig
tree. Bud, how many of you know what
he was talking about? OK, one person, who is he
talking about? Israel.
Now remember at that time when Jesus was speaking, the Roman
Empire had taken hold of Israel and Jerusalem.
So Israel did not belong to God's people.
It had been removed. From them because of all these
sins in the past and everything else.
So it didn't. Belong.
To the nation of Israel, the Jews scattered all over the
world. As they have today because of
the. Persecution that came on the
Jews, but even if in fact if you read some Bibles pride that were
written prior to 1945, they will say in in the column, although
it says that the nation of Israel will become a nation
again, it is highly unlikely because no one ever actually
believed that Israel could become a nation again.
Back this nation, the United Kingdom in May 1948, which is 78
years ago did something incredible in that they brought
the the what they had mandated in line with Bible prophecy.
And for those who may not know May 1948 a stop clock began
because Jesus said when you see this, when you see that fig tree
bud. In other words, Israel become a
nation. That's why you you can have wave
your banners screenshot. Carry on all over London.
Nobody has the legal right to remove the nation that God says
will be Israel. No one has legal right to remove
the land when God says it's your land so and that stop clock
began and it will end because Jesus said that generation that
saw it will not pass away. Before.
My return. So the youngest person to be
born is now 78 years of age. That gives you an indication of
how close we are to the soon return of Jesus or the rapture
of the Church of Jesus Christ. Can you say Hallelujah?
Jesus then speaks about the signs and he says they will be
like burst pains. And he said there will be wars.
So what's happening in Iran? Wars.
Another war, yes, is on in Ukraine and Russia.
And and then we've got the war going on now in Iran and there's
war taking place between Pakistan, Afghanistan.
And as a woman in burst pain, how many of you know you can't
prophecy or pray away contractions?
She can't say to that baby. Now listen, this is very
inconvenient. I rebuke those contractions I
prophesied. This baby won't be born for the
next two years because we ain't ready.
How many you know you can prophecy, pray all you want.
Contractions or birth pains are an indication that that baby is
on its way. So you must be careful when you
prophecy peace. When Jesus said there won't be
peace, when you prophecy certain things that that there there was
going to, you know that everyone is going to get along and
there's going to be unity. You've got to bring your words
in line with the word of God because Jesus prophesied and he
said nation will rise up against nation.
That word nation in the Greek means ethnicity.
So that's why you're seeing racial tension, racial divide,
and all kinds of racial trouble. So you can pray that God keeps
your heart right. You can pray for salvation, but
don't pray, don't prophecy against the word of God because
it you can, you can prophecy standing on your head until the
the cows come home. You ain't going to change the
word of God. How can you say Hallelujah?
Say God's word? Is the final word and it stands
forever. Amen.
So Jesus said these. So what's happening in Iran?
I'll tell you what, just over a year ago, at the beginning of
2025, we were in a time of prayer and fasting and I just
felt the Holy Spirit move. I prophesied that Iran was going
to open up. I said I don't know what how
it's going to happen, but it wasn't a service.
I don't know if it was a Wednesday or Sunday, but I just
said I felt the Holy Spirit say so strongly Iran is going to
open up and there was going to come a shift of leadership and
the gospel is going to be reach that nation that that once held
bound. Well, people were sending me
clips this week where the underground church in Iran is
now coming to come out from under the ground and there was
a. Mighty move of God taking place
in Iran. Why?
Because Jesus said people say, you know how long?
How long, How long? Well, first Peter three Jesus
says it like well the word of God says it like this.
He said when you say how long, how long?
Why are you procrastinating until the Lords return?
He it says that God is not willing that any should perish.
That's why he's slow to come back.
He's not slow because he's dilly dallying in heaven.
He's waiting for everyone to repent.
He's not willing that any should perish.
That means everyone must have the opportunity of receiving the
message of the gospel and have an opportunity to accept Jesus
Christ, at least one opportunity.
I do believe that in the next decade, we're going to begin to
see even North Korea begin to open up because of Bible
prophecy so that every person, every nation can receive the
word of God. Now, why is this important?
Because when you get behind what God wants to manifest and how
many of you know God is he's, he's, he wants.
That's as he expresses his heart's desire.
He's unwilling that any should perish.
So when you get behind your support with your, with your
prayers, with your serving, with your giving, with everything
that you do, the the extension or the elevation or the pushing
back of hell and the increase of the Kingdom of God, how many of
you know you are helping God's dream become a reality?
That you are helping His will become your will?
Amen. And when you commit yourself to
making God's will manifest everywhere you go, God ensures
whatever your needs are, He takes care of them.
Can you say Hallelujah? So rather than breaking down the
church, you committed to build the Church of Jesus Christ,
rather than resisting your brother and sister, you pray for
your brother and sister. Amen.
Rather than kicking somebody else in the teeth who look who
sounds like you, who who carries the same anointing, same Holy
Spirit, how about putting a loving arm around him or her and
encouraging them in the law? Amen.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.
So I want you to turn in your Bibles very quickly now after
Matthew 20. 4 Jesus is still speaking and it's linked.
Matthew 25 is linked to Matthew 24.
It's all about end time events, Jesus.
Says in Matthew 25, the Kingdom of heaven is like a man
travelling to a far country who called his own servants and
delivered his goods to them. Whose goods were they?
The master's goods. So say with me everything I
have, everything I own belongs to the Lord.
That's why Davis said. What can I give you, Lord?
Because everything is yours already.
That's was his heart. That must be your heart as a
steward or. Servant, we don't.
Use terms like servants any day, but a steward is a servant.
If if you've. Ever seen a servant in a great
big house or mansion, whatever that servant doesn't pitch up on
Monday morning and say to his master?
Now, listen, I had to think over the weekend and I really think
that we need to change this and change that and change the next.
And I think that this would be good and that will be good.
How many of you know that would be his last working day?
Because it's not his guts, it's not his house, so he doesn't get
to tell the master of the house what to do with his house.
Can you say Amen, say with me? I've got to change my attitude
towards everything in life now. This is important because people
overlook scriptures like these. I want you to be ready.
Not one person sitting here today when we stand before the
Lord can say, Pastor Warner, why didn't you tell me the truth?
Because you're hearing the truth today.
Every single person to be born will.
Have to give an account of how we have stewarded our lives.
How we've steward and our time, our resources, our energy, our
gifting, the anointing evenly Gifting and the anointing comes
from above. Every good and perfect gift in
your life comes from above. Say everything is the Lords, the
earth and the fullness is the Lords.
Hallelujah, we are just stewards.
We are servants of our Master, so he delivered the goods to
them and to 1 he gave 5 talents. Now don't become religious and
tell me talent is a gift as an Italian.
Show we're dealing with original Greek here.
In Greek, talents were what they call the currency of the day.
A talent is a monetary currency. So stay with me.
He's speaking about my finances. So he gave. 15 talents to
another two and to another one. Notice where the finances came
from, from the Lord, Amen. He gives us the Bible, says the
power, Deuteronomy 20th to create wealth.
So even your ability. To earn an income comes from the
Lord. Everyone is given everything in
life you will receive in measure.
Form. There was a measure of faith.
There was a measure that you have in terms of your own
capacity. There was a measure in terms of
the finances that you have. Amen.
What you do with that measure is up to you.
So you don't have to remain at base level.
You can say, well, you know what, Pastor?
I didn't grow up where she grew up.
She he didn't have the parents I had.
I didn't go to the school that he went to.
I didn't have the opportunity that she did.
You have no clue what they did to me, what they said about me.
Well, do you know what that 10 only. 10% of your life is
dictated to you by your circumstances or your past. 90%
is determined by your attitude towards the 10%.
So in other words, it doesn't matter about your past.
I'm not saying that I don't care, but what I'm saying is I
don't care. What I care about is what the
word says. Whenever someone says to me,
pastor, this, that, I say no, no, no, I'm not interested.
What does the Word say? Do you care about what the Word
says? Are you interested in what the
Word says? Do you want to be free?
Do you want to be prosperous and everything?
Even as the Bible says? That is God's will, His purpose
for us to prosper and be in hell as our soul prospers.
So that is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Hallelujah. So here he gives 5 and then he
gives to the other two, and then he gives to the other one.
According to his own ability and immediately went on a journey.
Now this is a parable because this is how Jesus told spiritual
truths in parables. So where is Jesus gone?
He's gone on a journey. He is in heaven.
Is. Speaking about him, then he who
had received the five talents went and traded with them and
made another 5 talents. So he traded, he invested and he
doubled what he had. Now this was certainly our
nation at the moment. This was a socialist.
That's why the Kingdom of God is not a communist or socialist
Kingdom. You've got to understand that.
And, and the problem is that many people have a socialist
style of thinking and that's why doesn't there's no cohesion with
the Word of God. Word of God is not socialist, is
not communist. So he who had the most, who had
five? Now in this day and age, they
would say, well, if he doubled it, what does he need all that?
For take from him and give to the guy who only got the one.
It's not right that she should be so blessed.
It's not fair that he should have two houses.
Who cares if you have 20 houses? I'd rather a godly righteous man
or woman own a whole block than the wicked own a whole block.
Can you say Amen? So it would be it's time to get
rid of that stinking thinking. Amen.
Because we love to quote scriptures like the wealth of
the wicked is laid up for the just.
Well, get news alert. The wicked are not just going to
pour the money into your pockets.
There were supernatural strategies that God will release
that will enable you to access that wealth.
Hallelujah for the Kingdom purposes can you say Amen?
Thank you Jesus. So the guy who had the most got
double. You can say out your Amen at
that point. Likewise the one who received 2
gained 2 more, so he also doubled what he had.
Then he who received one went and dug it in the ground and hid
his Lord's money. After a long time, the Lord of
those servants came, and. Settled accounts with them.
There will be a settling of accounts in heaven because we
won't face the judgement seat of Christ as a blood bought, Holy
Ghost filled believer, but we will face that great white
throne judgement that's. Called.
The beamer judgement or the believers judgement, every
single believer will face that judgement The.
Books will be open. And let me tell you, Heaven
keeps good records. There's no dodgy accountant in
heaven. You can't argue on that day and
say no no, no, you must have got those sums.
Recalculate Heaven's records are 100% accurate and the accounts
will be settled on that day and everyone.
Will see there will be a great spectacle as we all gather
around that great judgment seat of Jesus Christ.
And that is where we will have to give an account of how we
have stewarded our lives because our lives do not belong to
ourselves. Why?
We have been bought with a price.
So we do not belong to ourselves, we belong to Jesus.
And so we don't get the right to decide even what we're going to
do tomorrow. How are we going to spend our
money tomorrow? Because it's not our choice.
It's not our, it's not our decision.
We belong to the Lord. Amen.
It's for him to decide what we do.
Can you say Amen? So he who had received 5
talents. Came and brought five other
talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me 5 talents.
Look, I have gained. Five more talents besides them.
The Lord said to him, Well done. You see, we always we quote this
when a St. passes away and goes on to be with the Lord.
We say Oh well. Bless him, bless her, they now
hearing well done, good and faithful servant.
Well, there was a condition, you don't get to hear well done,
good and faithful servant for doing absolutely nothing but
sitting on your blessed assurance your whole Christian
life. There is a reason why he says
because you have doubled. Well done, good and faithful
servant. You were faithful over a few
things. I will make you ruler over many
things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.
He also who received 2 talents, came and said, Lord, you
delivered to me two talents. Look, I have gained 2 more
talents besides him. His Lord said to him, Well done,
good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few
things. I will make you ruler over many
things. Enter into the joy of the Lord.
Hallelujah. So because he was faithful over
a little, now he gets increase it.
You never despise the day of small beginnings.
When we started our ministry, we had pastor bride a night was in
winter. We left our children 12 and 14.
We didn't know you were not supposed to leave a 12 year old
unattended. We had no clue we're from
Africa, so we left them in the house and we would go knocking
on doors and witnessing to people.
That's how we started our ministry.
This July will be 26 years ago. And we started from scratch.
This nation was. Deader than dead.
If you were around 26 years ago, you'll know what I'm talking
about. There was not even one Christian
channel on the television. It was so dead spiritually.
In fact, when God called, God called my husband first.
When my husband said to me, God called us to this nation.
I said you can go to that God second nation on your own.
I'll stay back in Africa. We had a thriving church, a
thriving ministry. I said you can go there as a
missionary. I'll stay there in Africa with
the kids. I had no intention, no desire to
come to this God. We had come through enough times
on ministry to know how dead spiritually it was.
So I just said no thank you. But then the Holy Spirit had to
speak. And deal with me until
eventually, one day I put my hands up and said, OK, I
surrender. I surrender.
I surrender all. And then God brought us over to
this nation. But that's how we started.
And let me tell you, there were. Weeks when you know you've got
20 people looking, staring at you in the face and they are
and, and let me tell you, they said to us, now listen, because
as you can see, we are very bold in our faith and bold in our
belief system. And they said, pastor, can we
just tell you something? First of all, they said we will
never, ever make room for you for me because we won't accept
ministry from a woman. So you have to understand that.
So that's what they told me firstly.
Then they told us both. They said please don't speak
about sin because you actually are offending us in this nation
where they actually said to us we are good people.
They said maybe where you come from, you know, sin is rampant.
But they said, yeah, we're good people and you're actually
offending us. So guess what?
We spoke about sin even more then then they said it to us.
Please don't, please don't speak about finances and blessing and
increase because we don't need that.
You know, we support charities, we're helping people in poor
countries. Yeah, we get everything from the
government we don't need to and so guess what we spoke about
finances even more to break them free from that spirit of Mammon
with a dependent on the government and rather than the
Lord for a handout. Can you say Amen So the
government that sees to your every needs.
The Bible says God supplies all your.
Needs. Can you say Amen?
Hallelujah. So that's how we started.
And yes, I know what it is to have days of small beginnings.
And even though you have a small beginning, that's OK, but you
should not still be at the same place 5 or 10 years down the
line. Everything in the Kingdom must
grow. Everything connected to the
Kingdom must grow. Everything that you attach to
the Kingdom will grow because the Kingdom is an ever
increasing, ever advancing Kingdom.
Hallelujah. It pushes back everything else
and it advances. That means where you connect
your finances into the Kingdom, you will see financial growth.
It is impossible not to. Can you say Hallelujah?
Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Some 30, some 60, some a
hundredfold. That's the level of return.
I've yet to see an investment where they can tell you, well,
we guarantee you're going to see minimum of 30% return because
everyone. Would have been lining up.
Completely guaranteed doesn't matter what happens in the world
the stock markets or anything you would guaranteed minimum 30%
or 60 or 100%. I've yet to see anyone in the
world give you that kind of return but the Bible Jesus said
that is a return that you can expect.
Can you say Hallelujah, Hallelujah, so that that's so
Jesus then says to the. Sky with the one.
He comes along and he said Lord. I was afraid.
Received the one, came and said, Lord, I knew you to be a hard
man, reaping where you had not sown, and gathering where you
had not scattered seed and I. Was afraid so with me this
morning. Fear will cut off my blessing
and my finances. People are saying, you know,
Pastor, with everything going on in the world, is it a good time
to invest? It's always a good time for the
believer, always a good time. We are not motivated.
We're not moved by fear. We are moved by faith.
I say to. Them.
If that was not happening, what is?
What would you do? And I say I would advise.
I said, well, that's what you. Do because you're not moved.
By fear over this, that or the next pastor, you know, they
talking about redundancies at work.
So, you know, maybe I won't be so generous.
Maybe I'll just keep a bit back because I don't know what's how.
This year, still early March, we got a whole nine months to go of
this year. Maybe it's will be foolish to so
too much to suit. I I want to say only flip the
thing around. You don't know that God is
putting His finger on your seat right now to ensure that the
next nine months will be the greatest nine months of your
year. Can you say Hallelujah, say with
me, I am only moved by faith, even in my finances, I will not
give in to fear. Every promise in this word is
not dependent. On any condition in the world,
we are connected to a covenant keeping God.
So every promise is only dependent on God's side of the
covenant, and He will not, He cannot break His covenant
promise. Towards.
Us can you say Hallelujah? So here he is and Jesus didn't
say to our bless you, I'm so sorry that's how you felt you
should have come for a word of encouragement.
I'm so sorry that this. Is where you've been at all this
time? Now what does he say?
He says So you ought to have deposited my money with the
bankers, at least put it in the bank and earn some interest.
And at my coming I would have received back my own with
interest. So take the talent from him.
I must say to you, the Kingdom is not a socialist Kingdom.
So he takes the one who had only one who now has nothing, and
gives it to the one who had the most, to the one who has 10
talents for to everyone who has. More will be given, say everyone
who has. More will be given, and He will
have an abundance, but from him who does not have even what He
has will be taken away, and into outer darkness there will be.
Weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is speaking about servants
or stewards of God. So these are those who know the
Lord who worship the Lord. He followed the Lord.
He's not heathens. That's what will happen on that
day. Now, let me just help you tie
this in today, because what will happen when those accounts are
open? Now, we're just in the process
of closing up our financial year as a ministry ends at the end of
March in this financial year so far.
And we still got a couple more weeks left of this month.
And I believe that next week or the week after, we are actually
giving away a motor vehicle. We're sewing a motor vehicle and
we have believed for the finances on Easter Sunday we
because we're drawing in the unsaved, we're giving a car away
and we spent seven and a half 1000 lbs on this vehicle.
So we it's a good vehicle, solid vehicle, low mileage, but we're
giving that away. But in so far we have spent in
the 11 1/2 months 189,000 lbs and mission and evangelism
outside of our church. Why?
Because we believe in this principle, because we believe
the word of God, every ministry, every place where we have sown
in terms of outside, and that's not including our own local
churches, that's outside of the ministry where we have invested
in ministries and, and events and things that we have heard
about where the Gospels being souls are being saved.
Let me tell you, that is why we are overflowing.
That is why we're in the top 5% income of all ministries, church
ministries in this nation. Because God is not a man that he
should lie. We have proven this over and
over and over and over and over again.
We have a massive bank account in heaven.
I'm not saying I'm satisfied, Absolutely not.
I'm believing God. Next year it will be double,
double that amount. We're not settling for that.
It will be double that that we would have invested.
We're looking at buildings and when we look at buildings, we I
remind the Lord, Lord, thank you.
There is a heavenly investment. We've invested that.
Now we're calling those heavenly resources because we're
believing you for supernatural access to wealth, to be able to
purchase buildings at this level of value.
You can't ask for help if you've got nothing in your bank
account. Can you say Amen, Hallelujah,
say today's a good day. Today I get to invest in my
heavenly bank account. I take what the Lord has given
me. I'm not going to bury it,
regardless of what it is. And every single person here,
everyone here, God has given. You an amount a capacity, every
person what you do with that. That's why the Bible says he
gives seed to the Sower. Someone said the other day,
Pastor, can I have some seed to sow?
Said if you haven't got seed to sow, you're not a sower.
I said I'm not going to just just dish out.
I said I'm not the government. I don't just dish out something
for nothing. I said, you're going to promise
me and promise heaven that as I give you that you're going to
become a sower. And she said, OK, I promise I
will become a sower. I said now heaven has hurt you.
I said, because if you're a sower, you will never be short
of seed because that's what the Bible says.
The Lord gives seed to the sower and bread for eating.
So you've got to have the wisdom to look at what you have and
say, Lord, what is bread for my eating or my enjoyment?
Because you don't just give everything into the Kingdom.
Obviously God wants you to enjoy life.
He wants you to be blessed. He wants you to buy good things,
good gifts for your kids, take them places, take them on
holiday. But you must identify what is
seed and what is for bread. Can you say Amen?
So whatever the Holy Spirit is speaking to you about today, I
want to give you a few moments. Just allow the Lord to speak to
you and they're giving details. I assume that will be coming up
somewhere. The envelopes on your seat.
However the Lord speaks to you, however you want to sow this
morning. I don't want you to be
embarrassed when we get to heaven on that day and the
accounts are settled and you say I never knew Lord, this is your
opportunity. Can you say Amen Hallelujah and
can I I just feel LED this morning because we've had an
instance where a lady, a precious lady that we know loves
our ministry and another nation. She watched us every single week
faithfully, but none of her children were believers.
She passed away but got heard that she a word that she had
passed away from somebody in the family and she I don't know, she
had a sizeable inheritance. What it was I don't know.
I know from letters, the emails and everything that she would
send to us. She had a heart for the Kingdom.
The sad reality is that her inheritance has now gone to
children who do not serve the Lord.
And this is just for you to think about.
Be careful when you set up your inheritance because your
inheritance when you get to heaven.
Your. Finances you leave behind, do
you know that they can follow you into heaven so your bank
account can keep on going up even when you're standing before
the Lord if you manage your affairs correctly.
And unfortunately, because I know the heart of this lady, she
never obviously thought about it or figured it out before, but
those children are going to just, you know, waste it and
whatever in this world, nothing will go into the Kingdom.
And so that's just, I don't know why I felt the need to say that
this morning, but make sure that you that you are godly over
everything because you are steward of everything in your
life, including your wills and whatever else that you own.
Can you say Hallelujah? So Are you ready to sew this
morning? Are you ready to get now?
You should look happy this morning.
If you're not happy, then please don't.
Sew because the Bible said God loves only one kind of giver.
What is that? Hilarious.
The over the top cheerful giver? Yeah, take your seat.
Are you ready for Round 2? I don't know if there's any.
Hungry people that came out today.
I usually travel around to the various campuses and I love
spiritual hunger. Wherever I go, there's nothing I
say to people. There are some people who e-mail
in because they ask for me to go administer outside of our
campuses in various places. And they say, we're not sure,
pastor, if you'll be willing to come to us, we're just a small
church, blah, blah, blah. And I say, I don't worry about
size, I worry about hunger. I don't care what the size, as
long as there's hunger, I'll be there, right?
So I want to speak to you for just a few moments about four
demonstrations. That the Holy Spirit power
manifests. In the word of God we have a
very simple language. The English language is really
very simple. So we have one word, power.
But if you study the word, and you study the Greek original
Greek, you discover that there was so much more.
To many, many. Truths that are revealed in the
Word. And this one is that power of
the Holy Spirit. So there are 4 dimensions that
the New Testament speaks about when it comes to the power of
the Holy Spirit. Are you ready for that?
Turn with me to Luke chapter 24 and I want to read verse 49.
This is Jesus speaking. Behold, I.
Send the promise of my father upon you.
But tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued
with power. So with me power from on high.
Then First Corinthians chapter 2 and verse 4 says and my speech
this is Paul speaking and my speech and my preaching were
not. With persuasive words of human
wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power Sagan
power that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in
the. Power of God, Hallelujah.
Acts Chapter 2 records on the day of Pentecost when those 120
believers were in that upper room and it says they suddenly
they came a sound. I believe this morning that you
many people here, you're going to have a suddenly moment with
the Holy Ghost. You've been going in One
Direction, but suddenly there's coming a revelation of the right
path, the right option to take this morning.
That's what happens when the Holy Spirit begins to move and
might and power. Some of you are sitting here and
you've been going at the same pace, kind of saying, you know
what, I don't see much changing in my life.
I've been doing everything that I can, praying, fasting, sowing,
standing on the word, believing God, but I'm still in the same
place. I don't want to be in this place
by the end. Of this year, you're having a
sudden forward movement this morning as you receive the
revelation of the word of God and it hits impacts you on the
inside that guess what? News flash, you are.
The Bible says those who are the sons and daughters of God, they
are led by the Spirit. It's an indication of us being a
child of God in our capacity to be led by the Spirit.
That means when you're led by the Spirit, your spirit moves
ahead of your natural body. Kim Clement used to have a very
famous song, a well known song. I love it.
He says I'm somewhere in the future and I look much better
than I do right now. I'm somewhere in the future and
I look much better than I do right now.
What was he saying? Spiritually, I'm way ahead.
I'm waiting for the things in the natural my body to catch up
to where my spirit is. And this morning some of you,
the reason why you're lagging behind is you're lagging
spiritually, but you come, there's coming a sudden, I want
to say it, but you know me. Kick up your blessed assurance
spiritually to get you moving from where you are to where God
wants to reposition you. Can you say Hallelujah?
Don't look so shocked this morning.
I am as real as what I am to you is what I am.
At home you can talk to my kids. This is how I am.
I'm in the office. I'm exactly the same.
I don't change. I don't believe in changing.
I am what God is making me to be and that's who I am.
Like it or leave it, but I am just a mouthpiece this morning.
In fact, I am what the Bible calls a sower of seed.
I'm sowing the seed into your lives this morning.
So if you don't like the way I look, the way it's packaged, you
can close your eyes, you can pretend it's somebody else, but
receive the seed of the word because it's a word that's going
to change everything in your life.
Can you say Hallelujah? So these words in both these
passages here come from the Greek word dunamis.
And so first word for power. Our faith, Paul says, does not
stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
There are many people who believe have a belief system
based on the Word, but the foothold for that belief system
is dependent on the wisdom of somebody else.
Now let me backtrack 6 years ago to March 2020 because this is
where you see saw it play out. So many believers.
For those who may not know, Pastor Brad and I do what we
always do when there's an announcement as everybody heard,
we went to the Lord. We said, Lord, what do we do?
The Lord reminded us of His word in Hebrews which says, Do not
forsake the gathering together of yourselves.
Even the more so as you see the day approaching.
So we said thank you Lord, and we looked at that in line with
Bible prophecy people says, well, you know, what about
Romans and you got to obey the government.
No, let me tell you, clear that up for you.
You only obey A godly government.
Who sticks to the word of God? You do not You do not have, for
example, who? What government?
Through Paul in prison and all the other disciples, the very
Roman government that people are quoting, were the disciples
thrown in prison because they pinched somebody's lunched?
Were they thrown in prison because they broke into
someone's house? What were they thrown in prison
for? Preaching the gospel, Amen.
Because it went against the government of the day and what
they believed in. Now, why I'm saying that to you
is because you've got to be prepared.
We were prepared to go to prison.
In 2020, because we were contravening and whatever they
said, they said don't. You can't lay hands on people.
You can't speak to him. Well this is our job
description, the word of God. So we continue to lay hands on
people. News flash, no one died of COVID
and there were 10,000 people that came through our services
in the art from everywhere. In this nation in that first
year, because they had nowhere else to go.
Not one. COVID dead?
Of anyone who came, we would not register.
We wouldn't take temperatures because where do the sick go?
The sick go to the Lord, to the House of God.
That's where they're going to be healed.
So we wouldn't socially distance people.
If people wanted to socially distance themselves or they were
welcome to do that, or we did not socially distance anybody
because again, it is contrary to the word of God.
So we didn't mandate masks. If you wanted to wear a mask,
you were free. We believe in the freedom
because the liberty comes from the Lord, not from anybody else.
People wanted to wear masks. They could knock themselves out
and wear masks, but if you didn't want to wear a mask, God
bless. You didn't have to wear a mask.
I certainly wasn't going to wear a mask because I knew the
consequences of wearing masks and I knew it made absolutely no
difference because I knew the size of that virus and mosque or
not, that virus was going to go through that mosque.
That was all about being compliant, so we weren't
rebellious. For the sake of being
rebellious, we just chose to believe the Word of God.
Now we had, I cannot tell you how many emails, letters from
the ministers, fraternal, from the other churches, from
everybody else telling us you've got blood on your hands, you are
contravening the Word of God, you should be obeying those in
authority, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You're making a big mistake. You're going to decimate the
church, etcetera, etcetera. And they went on and on and on
and on. Well, I got news for you.
Nothing like that happened. In fact, the church grew and it
increased and multiply, and we've seen God's blessing.
What? What was it?
I'll tell you what, it was because our faith, our belief
system did not stand in the wisdom of men.
So many preachers came to us, phoned us up, emailed us and
said, pastors, you've got to use wisdom.
We know your hearts, we know you're bold, we know this, we
know that. But at the end of the day,
you've got to use wisdom. Well, let me tell you, there's a
difference between Fauci wisdom and the wisdom from the Word of
God, because man's wisdom is always dependent on limited
resources and limited knowledge. So it can be a fact today.
But let me tell you how many of you realizing that now suddenly
the facts have changed, even started a program called When
the facts change. I mean how?
Hilarious is that but you when your belief system is based upon
the word for God. Now let me just help you get
this this morning because faith comes.
Your belief system is always based upon your faith.
What do you have faith in? What do you believe in?
Faith comes the Bible says, and this is important to know
because a lot of people will tell you faith comes through
praying through faith comes through worshipping.
Faith comes through spending time in the Lord.
The Bible says faith comes one. Way.
By hearing and hearing and hearing is an ongoing word and
hearing and understanding. The.
Word of God. It is the only way the Bible.
Says faith comes. So when faith comes, when you
get an understanding, you get, in other words, a word I'm
preaching this morning that you're hearing becomes Rhema for
you. So it's no longer the logos that
you're hearing, but Rhema is personal.
So suddenly you get the word and on the inside of you, your
spirit rise as it jumps up. What is that?
It's faith. It's faith that's connected to
that Rhema word. And then when that faith
connects, you've got to do something.
With it because faith without. Works is dead.
That is the demonstration of the power.
That's where the Holy Spirit kicks in, because many people
have belief systems based on this, that, and whatever.
But when you have a belief system that's grounded and
rooted in the Holy Ghost, it means that you had a
supernatural art working of what you have believed and received.
So in other words, I've heard the word this morning, I went
out of these doors, I put it into action.
I saw the Holy Ghost move. And so I know this word is yes
and Amen because it's been proven in my life.
My faith has moved me to action and it's now grounded on the
Holy Ghost because I don't go in my own might or power.
I can't accomplish anything. It is only by the Spirit of God.
So I've gone in the power of the Holy Ghost and I've seen with
some felt in my life. What you believe in should be
evident. Someone said to me the other
day, Pastor, I believe this. I said show me.
And they said, what do you mean? I'm telling I said no, don't
tell me. Show me if you believe
something. Show me what you believe should
be proven. Don't believe I'm the head or
not the towel. Show me that you're the head and
never the tale. Well, I believe that I'm blessed
of the Lord. Am I going out?
Am I coming in and this way and that when everyone, my family's
blessed, show me that you are blessed.
Demonstrate, say faith always demonstrates.
Hallelujah. I pray this morning that as you
receive the Word and faith rises up, it will move you to action
and that your faith will be based and rooted on a
demonstration of the Holy Ghost power in your life that will
secure what you believe it. When you've seen the Holy Spirit
demonstrate that Word in and through you, you will never be
talked out of it because I have a testimony.
That's what testimonies are. Testimonies are living proof, a
demonstration that what I believed is true.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Many, many believers. Most.
Believers have an intellectual based faith.
So, in other words, your emotions are moved.
You had a good time. Oh wow, that was a great word.
Yes, I agree with that. You nod your heads, you smile,
some of you smile, and then you leave this room.
You. Go by Wednesday?
Well, you've forgotten half of it.
By Friday, it's only down to 10%.
Last Saturday, it's long gone and now you're ready for another
word on Sunday. Need another word, Pastor?
I need another word. I'm going to get through a tough
week this week. Give me another word, Pastor.
How many of you know you've got more than enough?
Word at the moment on the inside of you.
To. Form a solid.
Belief. System.
Hallelujah. The question is what your belief
system is founded. On or rooted on?
What does it stand on? And today, I'm praying that your
belief system is going to stand on the unshakeable power of the
Holy Ghost. So that word here is dunamis and
it says. Jesus said to them, wait in
Jerusalem until you are endued. That word endued means to be
closed, means to be filled. It means to be wrapped.
We have a chap in our congregation in Welwyn Garden
City and his business, they wrap vehicles.
I thought this how does this work?
Well, when his wife showed me some photos, I couldn't believe
it. Let me tell you, this is better
than any paint job from any panel beater.
The way that these cars are at, you would not know what the
original color was. Everything.
It's wrapped to the point where it looks like a different car.
It's unbelievable the way that they, they wrap the, the,
whatever the substances that they used to wrap vehicles in,
but it's unbelievable, absolutely phenomenal.
And they last And it doesn't matter about the wind, the
storms or this or that that wrapping.
Well, I thought Hallelujah. Now understand when Jesus said
you will be wrapped because you look like another person.
So you may have been dark and black with sin, but now you've
been. Wrapped in the red blood of
Jesus Christ, you don't look like you did.
You look like a whole different person.
No one would know that it was the same person.
No one would know it was the same vehicle.
That's what it means to be endued.
Say I've been endued. I've been wrapped.
I've been filled with the dunamis of power of the Holy
Ghost. That word dunamis means force,
explosive power. It means miracle working power
and ability. It means exercising dominion
and. Authority.
So it has a lot of meanings for just that one word, power or
dunamis. It is explosive power, miracle
working power. Now if you take a volcano.
And I know there's one that's just about to erupt somewhere
that how many of you know, there is mass eruptive power held in
that mountain, that volcanic mountain and it, and it, there's
pressure because of that, that power that in that volcano until
eventually that mountain cannot contain the eruptive power.
And there was an outburst. Well, I don't know how many.
Of you've seen on National Geographic, when those volcanoes
erupt for miles and miles, there is evidence that there has been
a volcanic eruption to the highest heavens, to the sea, to
the land, Everything is covered. And it doesn't matter if you
built a nice little shiny shade to hide in, how many of you know
that it will cover and destroy everything in its way?
Houses. Doesn't matter what it is,
doesn't matter what it's built of.
The power in that volcano effects everything in that
landscape. When you go back afterwards,
whenever no one knows where the property was, they're going to
re measure because there's nothing left, there's no
evidence. Well, it is exactly the same.
I want you to see the level of Holy Ghost power, the Dunamis
that when you have an encounter with the eruptive strength and.
Force of the Dunamis of the Holy Ghost.
Everything in your life becomes affected.
Don't tell me you've encountered the Dunamis of the Holy Ghost.
But then you just have, you know, a shiver and a shake over
here, and you may fall down under the power of of the Holy
Ghost, but come Wednesday, you whinging and whining again.
Come Friday you back to the same circumstances.
It's impossible. It's impossible.
People like the thought of encountering the Dunamis.
My friend, let me tell you something.
When you have encountered the Dunamis power of the Holy Ghost,
you are forever changed. You are forever marked.
You will never, ever, ever be the same again.
Can you say Hallelujah? It's like I there was another.
Chap in in our church and he is an electrician and he's, he's
been an, an electrician for many, many years.
He said in his early years, because his wife told me he has
quite a significant scar on his arm, but you only see it in the
summertime. And she said to me, you know
what that scar was from. So I said no, she said.
In his early years, he made a mistake.
He thought the. Power he was working on on a
property. He thought the power had been
turned off, the mains turned off and so he was working on a
socket and touched a live wire and it it threw him back where
he hit the wall on the other side of the room and the force
of that came through his hand and left a scar on his arm.
To this day, that scar is there. That.
Is the Dunamis of the Holy Ghost?
Someone said to me. Pastor, I think I did have an
encounter with the Dunamis. Let me tell you, you didn't.
Because when you've had an encounter with the Dunamis
power, eruptive, explosive power of the Holy Ghost, you know
you've had it. You don't need to say to that
man. No one had to say to him, well,
I think you had an electric shock.
He's living proof that he had an encounter with a strong vault of
electricity. We should be living proofs of
the fact that we have had a strong, eruptive Holy Ghost
power that has changed us. He's mocked us.
That dynamous power must mock you forever, that you are never
ever the same again. Everything must change in your
life. You should look different, you
should speak different, you should react differently, you
should even believe differently. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
So with me there must be evidence with Holy Ghost
dunamis, but it also is dominion and authority.
Dominion over sickness, over the devil, over everything under
earth. Turn with me to Colossians
chapter 2 and verse 9 and I want to read from the amplified
classic. It says, For in Him the whole
fullness of Deity, the whole fullness of Deity.
So everything that is God continues to dwell in bodily
form, giving complete expression of the divine nature, and you
are in Him made full, and have come to fullness of life in
Christ. You 2 are filled with the
Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and He is the head of
all rule and authority, of every principality and power.
In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision, not with
hands, but the circumcision performed by Christ by stripping
off the body of flesh, the whole corrupt carnal nature.
And thus you were circumcised. You were buried with Him in
baptism, in which you were raised with Him through faith in
working. God as displayed when He raised
him up from the dead. So the authority of the full
Godhead dwells in the body. Who is the body?
The Church so. All of the power of the Godhead
dwells in US, eruptive, explosive power and all
authority. That's why Jesus said to Simon
Peter when he got a revelation of who Jesus was.
He said based upon this revelation of me, I will build
my church, my ecclesia, and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. And and I give to you the keys
of the Kingdom of authority, and whatsoever you.
Allow or disallow on earth, I will allow or disallow in
heaven. Can you say Amen?
Because that's the modern day word for mine.
We don't. I don't say, well, I'm going to
bind you. I don't say, well, I lose you to
go outside. No, we use the term I'll allow
you. I'll allow you to go outside.
And no, I'm going to disallow you to go outside.
It's the modern term. But that is authority.
Now remember when Jesus was tempted by Satan in the time
when he was in that prayer and fasting for 40 days and Satan
took him to the top of the mountain, what did he say?
If you bow down to me, I will give you all the kingdoms of
this world. Remember the third temptation?
Jesus didn't turn around and say, you filthy lying devil,
they're not yours to give. Away.
Because in fact, they did. He was the ruler.
He did have dominion at that stage of the kingdoms of this
world. So Jesus didn't rebuke him and
say you're just a lying devil. He just said that man will
worship the Lord his God and him alone.
But when Jesus finished the work at Calvary, he took back those
keys of authority and dominion, and that's what he was speaking
to Peter. And he says, I've given them
into the hands of my church. So you now have power and
dominion. Over every work.
Of the devil over. Everything in this world,
everything that was removed through sin, I have restored,
regained and I've given you that power and dominion.
Someone said to me the other day, pastor, I'm really
struggling right now. I just can't seem to get ahead.
I'm struggling under the weight of the I said, why are you
struggling? You had the greater one living
on the inside of you. You do not have push around.
You don't allow somebody at at your work who's full of the
devil to push you around. The greater 1 lives on the
inside of you. You take dominion, you take
authority over that spirit operating in that person.
You command that spirit to leap, obviously not face to face.
What, you want me shine in the back?
Door but we we don't wrestle again, it's not about people.
It's it's in in spiritual heavenly places.
So you you say thank you, Father, you don't pray.
Please, Lord, please, Lord, please, Lord.
That's not taking dominion. You don't see King Charles, and
heaven knows how many properties he owns, but he has dominion
over those properties. You don't see him if he's heard
there's a squatter in Buckingham Palace.
You don't see him praying. Oh, please God.
Please God. Please God.
Show me how. Show me Lord.
Can you deal with that squatter in?
Yeah. No, no, no, no.
He has Dominion. He just issues one command.
They boot that, whoever it is, a squatter out of Buckingham
Palace, and they boot him so hard that he never comes back.
It's exactly the same with you. There is no devil with greater
authority for power than you, and all the demons in hell do
not have greater power than one Holy Ghost.
Blood dot the leader. Can you say Amen?
Because you have all authority, all dominion.
When Jesus sent the 70 out, two by two, what did they come back?
And they'd say wow. And he gave them delegated
authority. They came back and they said,
wow, wow, wow. The demons fled, that sick
people were healed. This happened that everywhere we
went there were signs and wonders and miracles because we
operated under delegated authority.
When they came back, what happens?
Jesus removed that delegated authority.
You don't care of the disciples. Performing another miracle until
the day of Pentecost. And that's why Jesus said don't
do anything until you receive the dunamis.
Because you don't. Have authority or dominion until
the dunamis comes. So it's the dunamis power to
give you authority and dominion. You should never be a wet rag
Christian. You should always be strong and
bold in your faith, in fact. Rather than saying all these
words on your tombstone when you die, I've said to my family,
just say one word. The devil is very happy that
Passover owner is gone to be with the Lord.
Because let me tell you, I'm not worried about what the Devil's
planning for next week. The Devil's worried about me
waking up tomorrow morning because he knows his butt is
going to be kicked right into next week, right into next
month. I don't wait for him to do this
or that or next. I dictate what happens in my
life. I have dominion.
I have authority. I don't wait for my children to
go far from far. I don't wait for my children to
rebel and go into the world. No, I take dominion over my
home, over my children. I exercise my God-given
authority and I call them back in the mighty name of Jesus.
Hallelujah. You could ask my daughter,
Pastor Bianca, about some of her stories.
She's got some stories. I've got stories, but she's got
stories. And she tells the stories when
she, both of our kids for a while wandered from their faith
and they rebelled. So they were, you know, in the
world, but still in our home. And so during that time,
obviously I was taking Dominion authority with Pastor Brad over
them. And my daughter says that there
were times because the Lord would show me, the Holy Spirit
would show me in dreams exactly where she was and what she was
doing, exactly what the situation was.
And I would speak to her the next day and I'd say, did
something happen last night? And she would look at me with
big eyes and she knew no mom. And I would say, was this the
place? Was there a person like this?
And the eyes would get bigger and the colour would drain from
her face. And the Holy Spirit would tell
me exactly what happened. And I would tell her.
And you know what that was? That was the Lord letting her
know that He is real. The time when she needed to
know. That's how God revealed to her
that He is real and He is powerful and He is the all
seeing God and so she she tells in one of her testimonies that
she would go out and and she'll say, Lord, I know you're real,
but please don't spit on me to my mom to now.
But that is taking dominion. That is taking authority.
I didn't throw my hands. Up and say oh.
Pray for my kids. Pray, please, please, please
everybody. Pray, pray, pray.
No, no, no. I took Dominion.
I would pray over them. And even when our son was, you
know, so full of alcohol and so drunk, we never reacted to in in
the flesh. We would take him.
We'd put him down and we and we and I would say to him, Son, you
are going to be a mighty man of God.
I said there was such a destiny on your life and all the
language would come after that and I would just love on him.
He would go to bed and I would say thank you, Father, while he
sleeps in that state, would you, Would you right now speak to
him? Never.
Once our families back in South Africa, when they heard later on
about what happened, they said we never knew.
I said no, we didn't tell anybody because for us it was
never real. The truth.
Of the word is. Real.
And God had given us our children for signs and wonders,
so we I refuse to allow the devil to have even 1 inch
credit. So I would not speak about them
to anybody. We just addressed it in the
Spirit and we exercise authority and dominion.
I knew the day would come when they would turn.
I knew it right from the start and the day came when both of
them came back. When they came back, they serve
God 1000% never ever to go. Away astray again, and they came
back having their own encounter. Your children can't live on your
encounter. They can't live on your Holy
Ghost. They're going to have their own
encounter with the Holy Ghost. So when they came back, they had
their own encounter with the Holy Ghost and they're still
serving God praise them, and so are their husbands and wives to
this day. Can you say Hallelujah?
Are you ready for the second level?
The second demonstration of the Holy Ghost is say with me,
Kratos, Kratos. And I'm going to actually, I'm
going to jump down. I'm going to come back to Kratos
because I want to go on to the next one, Ephesians chapter 6.
If you have your Bibles turned with me to Ephesians chapter 6
and verse 10, because I actually want to speak about in Dunamo
power, say with me in Dunamo, Paul says, finally, my brethren,
be strong in the Lord, in the power, the power of his might.
So that word strong means to infuse the believer with an
excessive dose of inner strength.
That is the in Dunamot. Power of the Holy Ghost.
It's excessive inner strength. That's what Paul goes on to say
in Ephesians 6. He says, having done all to
stand, how do you stand? Stand in.
The power, the indunamo power of the Holy Ghost.
That means that you should always be the last man, the last
woman standing. When anything threatens you,
when anyone comes against you in your spirit, you laugh and you
say you have no idea. Devil, you'll be long gone out
of here and I'll still. Be standing, I'll still be
praising, I'll still be believing.
Hallelujah. Six years ago, as I said to you,
because we took a stand and can I just say to you today whatever
you are unwilling to stand for. You will.
Fall for whatever you are unwilling to stand against, you
will be deceived by. If you refuse to take a stand in
your home, in your life for holiness, godliness, righteous
living, you will lose it. If you refuse to.
Stand against wickedness, stand against sins, stand against the
systems of this world, the carnal thinking the the the
cycles and whatever it is bondages if.
You. Refuse to stand against.
Anything you refuse to stand against, you will fall for.
It's important to understand that because we have been given
the in Dunamo. Supernatural, powerful strengths
on the inside of us. So six years ago, obviously all
the threats and everything else we had.
I cannot tell you how many police raids, how many threats,
how many calls from the police, how many they blocked off, even
the road coming into our entrance.
The chief of police for Hertfordshire phoned me up the
one day and he said Wyona. In. 46 years I've been in the
police force, I have never come across as many complaints about
a church as what we have about you, I said.
Thank you very much, you've made my day, he said.
No, I don't think you understand, I said.
I do understand. I said.
Thank you, you've made my day. Hallelujah.
It means we're doing something right.
It means we're standing against the very gates of hell and we're
pushing back. And that is what happened.
So we stood and we stood and we stood and they threatened and
they threatened and they threatened and they then they
would send this one and that one.
And one day they there were about 12 of the police came, but
we had got it orchestrated our lives and we had just left the
building and they said we've come with a warrant for the.
Arrest of Pastor Brad and myself and so of course we weren't
there for them to issue it so the 1D can phone us and and
passerby said tell them to come back 6:00 tonight.
We'll be there. So they said OK, fine.
So he packed his little bag with some stuff.
I said you don't get to take bags into prison.
He. He had clean underwear and
deodorant and tooth, but I said no, no, no, no.
You don't know how this works. You go in and they take what you
got off. You don't get to take a little
bag. But anyway, it made them feel
better to take a little carry. Bag with them.
So we get in the car, we go to the evening service, and we're
there because wherever the devil tries to stop you, you do a
double. So when he tried to shut the
church down, we had double services.
When he said you couldn't pray, we had pray meetings every day.
Of the week. Whatever you said you can't do.
We did double because you we took a stand.
It's pushed back. Remember what happened in this
nation, in cities and towns and places everywhere.
There was anarchy on the streets within 3.
Weeks of the churches shutting the doors.
Can you remember that violence, looting, all the carings are
burning down Bush shops and and livelihoods and everything else?
Nothing happened in well in garden.
City you could walk down at midnight and it was peaceful,
like walking at midday. Why?
Because the church is a restrainer against the enemy.
It was design, the whole thing to shut the church down was to
usher in an Antichrist agenda. But the devil lost like he
always loses. Because not every church, thank
God, shut their doors so they couldn't go ahead with their
plans. Because let me tell you, if they
wanted that, we never opened up again.
That's what they. Wanted but Hallelujah, there's
some crazy Holy Ghost strength in Dunamo Field.
Believers still in the. United Kingdom, Hallelujah.
So they came 6:00 that evening. They weren't there.
We knew that they wouldn't be on time.
One thing you can guarantee, the police will never be on time.
They say they're coming in 10 minutes.
It'll probably be 25 minutes. So Pastor Brad said, OK, we're
going to do things differently. We're going to begin tonight
with just praying in the Spirit so that when they come in,
they'll hear tongues and they'll think what the hang is going on
here and the Holy Ghost will move and anything can then
happen. They'll either fall under
conviction or else they'll run for the hills.
So we began with everybody praying in the Spirit.
We prayed in the Spirit for 45 minutes.
At 6:45, Pastor Brian says shut the doors.
If they come now, you tell them to wait until the service is
over. Well, they pitched up about 830
and the the car guards told them the service is still on.
You'll have to wait. Well, how much longer?
Well, you don't know. This is a Holy Ghost meeting.
Anything can happen. And as it was, we went on until
11:45 so. It just went on.
Well, they got. Bored by 9:30, they waited one
hour. And then they got.
Bored and then they went off and this is what happened the whole
time, because you are filled with the in Dunamo power of the
Holy Ghost, you will withstand whatever.
Is trying to come against you. They came a point in 2021, I
can't remember when, when literally like day and night
there was a change and they did and everything left and we just,
we had prevailed and, and there was no more bothering.
They didn't contact us. People were still complaining.
People were phoning in, people in the apartment blocks who were
reporting us for everything. There were people who were
coming into the services just to report us, filming us, sending
the footage through to the police to film us.
And all of this was still happening and they never
contacted us again because we had stood with the Indunamo
Power. Nothing in this world, nothing
under this world has greater power than the power of the Holy
Ghost on the inside of you. So you, when you tell that
devil, listen, you will have gone long before I'm going.
You will have given up long before I'll ever give it up.
You will have gone to bother somebody else long before you're
going to bother me. When you live with that Holy
Ghost conviction and you rely on that inner strength, that's why
you should never see a truly Holy Ghost.
Useful believer being petered, you know, pathetic and petering
out in life. The psalmist says he renews my
youth like the eagles. I'll be our students hear this
from me all the time and and we have one who will testify today.
I tell I tell everybody I ain't retiring and some of them look
horrified. And I said I just believe in RE.
Firing because I don't find retirement anywhere in the word
of God. Hallelujah, Moses says, as my
days are, so my strength is so I just believe in reef firing.
So when the devil knows he there's nothing he can do to get
me to retire. At some point he gives up.
Even with Jesus. He tempted Jesus in the
wilderness. Adam, Adam, Adam.
And then the Bible says he left him for a season.
When you stand on the word and you withstand every attempt of
the enemy becomes a point where there is a breakthrough.
When he leaves for free, when you're not bothered by that
anymore, when it has to go because you have the greater one
on the inside of you. Say I'm filled with the Indunamo
of the Holy Ghost before I get too excited, and then we time's
up. I've got 15 more minutes.
The next one Are you ready for #3 Exusia Power, Say with me
Exusia. Power John one verse 12 But as
many as received him, to them he gave power Exusia.
Say with me, Exusia. To become the sons of God.
It's sons and daughters. When you read son, let me tell
you it means son and it means mankind, sons and daughters of
God. So it is the process we call it
in theological terms of regeneration.
The. Power to become a son and a
daughter of God. There are many believers who
live like orphans because they haven't understood this level of
exusia power to become a son and a daughter.
Of God, Hallelujah. So they'll live like beggars,
spiritual beggars. They'll die like spiritual
beggars, they'll speak like spiritual beggars.
They go around living from hand to mouth, whinging, whining
about everything, complaining about this, complaining about
that always long face. Looks like they were baptized
and lemon juice. No joy of the law, Nothing
happening, nothing good. It's always.
Well, pastor, I didn't. I didn't know.
Maybe there's nobody here in Bracknell.
But let me tell you, in the home church, there are some people
when they come in my direction, I was.
Dear God, give me an extra dose, holy close power just to endure
a conversation because you just know it's going to be the same
way. You dare and ask how are you?
Oh, well, pastor, let me tell you then.
What happened this week. Oh, dear God, 15 minutes later,
it's all the doom and gloom and who did this and who said that
and da da, da, da, da, da da, and what she's believing for and
what she's praying for and what still hasn't happened and why at
the end of it, Well, I'm still believing that God is going to
be good. I thought, well.
It doesn't look like it, my dear.
Has no clue that there is power to enable you through the
process of regeneration. That process of regeneration
means you go through an undertaking by the Holy Ghost
whereby everything in your life changes like that Caterpillar
becomes a butterfly, can never go back to being a Caterpillar,
and the Caterpillar does not fly like the butterfly.
They are totally different, but they started off as the one
thing that is the process of regeneration.
In your life. So people should say to you five
years, 10 years down the line, my, my, my, what happened to
you? You look nothing like you did
five years ago. You sound nothing like you did
10 years ago. Someone said to me who knew me
in my very early years, she came to visit the UK and she knew me
when Pastor Brad and I got married.
She knew me in those very, very early years and she said first
of all she said have you had a face that Cushina was 60?
I said I've had no, no touch UPS, no fillers, no nothing,
nothing extracted and nothing but in nothing.
This is just the Lord. She said I can't believe it.
I said well that's the goodness of God that I live in.
But she also said you are, you are nothing like what you were.
I said praise the Lord, I shouldn't be.
House of bride will often tell people the story and people
can't believe it, He said when I'm married past one and this is
the truth, I was so shy. I was such an introvert.
If. Somebody even spoke.
To me, I would go blood red and clamp up.
That is the gospel truth. I was so beaten down by the
woman in the church because I didn't conform to the idea of a
pastor's wife, because I didn't bake cakes and sit and gossip
and have little tea parties. And so I just was not hacking
their plan of the pastor's wife. So they were.
Beating me up because I didn't comply with the idea of being a
pastor's wife. And then I have always worked
entire Pastor Brad and my entire married life.
I stayed at home with my children until they started
school and when once I started school, I went back to work full
time until they finished school, fetched them from school and
took them home. But I've always worked.
We've been married for 41 years and three months time.
I've worked on time married lives.
It's the way. I'm I'm not saying I, I say God
bless you to every woman who stays at home and takes care of
her children. It's not my portion.
I'm wired differently, so I had to go to work.
When I say go to work, I worked in the corporate world and I
worked in the church. So I've experienced both and but
I have worked a full time job for 41 years, still work a full
time job today. That's why I said there's no
such thing as retiring in my vocabulary.
But I have understood this regeneration process and I
realized in the early years of ministry, I came to a point
where I literally wanted to end my life because I couldn't live
like that anymore. And I cried out to the Lord the
one day and I had a supernatural encounter with the Holy Ghost
that changed me in a moment. When I say I had an encounter,
Pastor Brad came home that evening.
He looked at me and said to me, what's happened to you?
I said, what do you mean? So he says you're different.
He's asking who did I see? Where did I go?
I said nothing. He said no, something happened
today. I said what?
He said you're different. I said.
In what way? He said you're just different.
Over the next weeks, that's when God, the strength and the
boldness began to be evidenced. And from being somebody who
would shut down and become blood red in the face, God began to
use me. And God spoke to me about my
future and my destiny. And so I went to Bible college
and etcetera, etcetera. And God then gave me a call,
reminded me of my calling as a child, which I had forgotten
about. And then he anointed me for the
ministry that he had called me to.
And So what you see today is not what I started out like 100%
different in every single way. It's the process.
Of allowing the power, the exusia power of the Holy Ghost
to change you. I can look at my children.
And in fact, people were saying the other day, my daughter was,
I don't know if she was teaching or preaching or someone said to
me, my goodness, Pastor Wona, she sounds just like you.
She said something And I thought to myself, that sounds like
Pastor Wona. It's.
Natural. Because she carries my DNA.
I looked at my granddaughter's little toes the other day and I
said to my husband, you know, she's got papa's toes.
Pastor Brad has a particular shape, big toe, and she has that
shape big toe. He said oh, sorry baby, he said
I'm a. Pray for you now.
It's natural. Why?
Because it's the DNA. There should be a resemblance in
your children and your children's children to you.
They should connect to you. They should be a.
Likeness. Let me just tell you, this is
the working of the Holy Spirit because the greatest work, the
primary work of the Holy Ghost in your life is not so that you
can have goosebumps and shout Hallelujah.
Although many people think that the greatest work of the Holy
Ghost in your life is not just so that you can lay hands on the
sick and they recover. Although that is that the
greatest number one work of the Holy Ghost in your life is this
level to change you and make you into the image and likeness of
Jesus Christ. That's why the Bible says on
that day, many will say, Lord, Lord, I did this in your name.
I did that in your name and Jesus will say depart from me.
I do not know you because while you have been doing this in my
name, you know me. You are not known by me.
Known by me means you are my heir, you are my offspring.
You are connected in DNA. We have been reached, generated
by the Holy Ghost. Therefore we should reflect the
very DNA of our heavenly Father. Can you say Hallelujah, we
should. Sound more like them.
Don't tell me, Pastor. I've had some time.
I hear this all the time, Pastor.
I've had some glorious time in the Holy Ghost.
Let me tell you, I've been locked away for two weeks.
It's been glory upon glory. I look at them.
I listen to them. I see how they behave.
They look more like the devil. Act more like the devil now than
what they did in two weeks. Don't tell me you've had more
holy. Ghost and you look less like
Jesus. It's impossible.
It is impossible. Let me say that again, it is
impossible. The more Holy Ghost you have,
the more in working power of the Holy Ghost you have.
The more you reflect Jesus, the more you sound like Him, and you
do the works and the greater works of Jesus.
Can you say Hallelujah? Are you ready for the final one?
OK, write this down Kratos Ephesians one verse 19.
Paul says according to the exceeding greatness of his
power, the Kratos power towards us who believe according to the
working of his mighty power again Kratos this is.
Supernatural demonstrative power.
It's God's muscle power at work in in the simplified version,
God's muscle power at work in your life.
Now, you don't sound very excited, so I'm going to show
you how that is demonstrated. My granddaughter, on Friday
afternoon, she brought me one of her little boxes and it was
closed and she wanted it open. And we've taught her now to say
please and thank you. So she says, granny, please
open. I said, why am I so open it?
You open it. She says it's stuck.
So I looked at it. And in other words, she didn't
have sufficient power to lift the lid.
So what I do, I don't just open it for her.
I took her little hand. I put my hand over her hand and
I opened the lid with her hand. And she said, thank you granny.
And then she close. She says please open again.
I said no. You can do it.
Your hand was a Please Granny, it's stuck.
And so again, I put my hand, the Kratos, the muscle power of
Granny, on her little hand, and then her little hand could do
what it couldn't do before. It was her hand with the muscle
power of Granny on top of it. This is the Kratos of the Holy
Ghost. So that's why the weak can say
that I am strong because I have Heaven's Holy Ghost, Heaven's
muscle power, backing up whatever I do and whatever I say
in his name. Can you say Hallelujah?
So you said, Pastor, this is not working.
I've tried. I've knocked on that door,
nothing's happening. I'll say to them, have you thank
God for the Kratos, the muscle power.
Oh no, I said, who lives on the inside of you?
Yes, I know, pastor, I said, what power lives?
Yes, I know, pastor, I said. Well, you.
Have Holy Ghost muscle power. Hallelujah.
When you get this revelation, you then begin to understand I
should be living on a level that's way above anybody else
who's in this world. 'Cause I have heaven's muscle
power behind me. When I speak, I have heaven's
muscle power. When I respond, I have heaven's
muscle power. When I lay hands on the sick,
even though I don't feel like I doing it, even though I feel
like I don't have faith, it's not about how I feel.
I lay hands on the sick because I know heaven's muscle power is
using my hands to get the job done.
When I take a stand for holiness and godliness, even though I may
be up against you, not a whole organization.
And in the natural, it looks like you should just throw in
the towel and walk away. What are you going to do?
No, no, no. I have heavens muscle power.
When I stand there, I have innumerable angels backing me
up. I have Holy Ghost supernatural
muscle power that's supporting me.
I don't stand alone, I don't speak alone, I don't have to do
anything on my own, so it's not. About me and my ability, someone
said to me the other day, Pastor I, but I'm just a new believer.
Doesn't matter. Have you received the Holy
Spirit? Yes.
Then you have heaven's muscle power if you get over yourself.
Long enough to recognize this thing.
It's not about how little, how weak, how this, how that, how in
whatever, how limited in knowledge, understanding,
whatever it is you you may. Be, and those may be the facts.
What matters is the level of God's muscle power at work in
your life. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
The reality is that many people are trying to get victories
based on your own strength, based on your own ability, based
on your own. Experiences.
But if you will just yield and surrender, Hallelujah.
Let me tell you, you will begin to move in a way.
There'll be an ease, there'll be a flow.
There won't be any effort. There won't be a drive.
There's no. Pushing and shoving.
It's just saying Hallelujah, thank you, Holy Ghost, Bring in
that muscle power. It's not by my own might.
It's not my own power. I recognize that it is only you,
Holy Ghost, Heaven's muscle power.
I pray today that you will receive the Kratos, the
supernatural artworking of Heaven's muscle power to impact
your life in such a way that you do the extraordinary.
You live the supernatural. You live above and never, ever
beneath because you don't live in natural dimension.
You live in a supernatural dimension.
Can you say Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah? Now I want every eye closed,
please, every head bowed in this place today and just before we
come into a place of worship, I want to give you an opportunity.
Every person bowed. I said to you at the beginning.
That. We're living in moments right
now. We that trumpet could start at
any moment and Jesus could return because of the signs that
the Bible gives Jesus speaking to the church in Revelation
chapter 3, the seven churches that he told John to write
letters to were literal churches.
They also were indicative of the seven church ages in history.
The final church ages the church age were in that church was a
church. Of Laodicea and Jesus said to
John, write to them these things.
He said You are neither hot nor you're cold, you are lukewarm.
He said. I'd rather you be hot or cold,
but being lukewarm, I'll spit. You out of my mouth?
You see, heaven only knows 2 temperatures.
You are the ice cold. As in a total heathen, a total
non believer or you are a #10 from zero to 10 red hot and on
fire and say well pastor, I think I'm red hearted.
No, if you think you are, then you're probably not.
When you're red hot and on fire, we tell you.
You don't wait. For somebody to invite you, you
are ready to come to the House of the Lord.
You don't have to get a worship team to wind you up on a Sunday.
You come already with the joy of the Lord, with a song in your
mouth, you come ready With hands raised.
You come hungry, you come thirsty.
You're out on the streets winning souls from Monday to
Sunday. Nobody has to phone you and
remind you at soul winning time, you are there.
Winning souls you are there. Witnessing to others, you are
there being salt and light in this world.
Nobody needs to say, well, I'm I think she's a believer.
No, no, no, you are so obviously a believer that you are light in
a dark place. You walk into a room, darkness
leaves because you've entered the room.
There is an art working and there is an info of Holy Ghost
power in your life. There's joy on the inside of
you. I can see.
That some of you this. Morning.
Something happened in your life. The joy of the Lord is your
strength. Some of you at some point have
lost the joy of your salvation. When you lose the joy of your
salvation, everything becomes religious works and there's no
fulfilment. There is no anointing on
anything that you do. So I want to ask you, based upon
what Jesus said, if you were. Anywhere between zero and nine.
You can say to me this morning, because heaven is watching,
pastor, I'm either 10 or I'm from zero to 9.
Then the Bible calls you Jesus calls you lukewarm, anything in
between? So if there is.
Anybody here who is not at A10 red hot and on fire, I want to
ask you right now to lift your hands because Jesus said it this
way. If you are in any way lukewarm,
I will spit. You out of my mouth in other.
Words you may think you're going to make heaven.
But you won't. There is no.
Time to waste no time for games. As we see, Jesus said, as you
see these things. Happen.
Look up. Your redemption is drawing very
close. This is not a time to be
anywhere between 0 and 9. This is the time where you live.
At a number. 10 Jesus described the church.
It's coming back as 10 virgins, 50% of the church.
This is the church globally will be ready with enough oil.
In other words, they lived. Red hot and on fire. 50% of the
church started off red hot and fire, but somewhere along the
way they got distracted. They thought they had enough
Holy Ghost. They thought they had enough
passion. They thought they had enough
desire for the things of God, but realized too late because
the bridegroom had already come. So everyone who raised your hand
from zero to 9, I want you to stand.
To your feet right now, right now, quickly in this place, I
want you to get out of your seat and come and join me in the
front this morning. Get out of your seat and come
and join me in the front. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
So OK, you can, you can do a second line.
I just want everyone kept closer.
I won't bite. Thank you Father.
Those who are still coming, trying to find some space
anywhere around, thank you Jesus, thank you.
Father, I want you to lift your hands heavenwards this morning
everywhere. Those who are in the front, I
want you to pray this prayer after me this morning.
Every person's going to pray the same.
Pray, say, Father, I come before you in the mighty name of Jesus.
I repent today of my lukewarmness, my spiritual
lethargy, the way that I have walked away from You, Father,
and taken lightly. What do you consider holy?
So today will you wash me? Will you cleanse me with your
blood? Jesus Christ, will you forgive
me? And today shed a blaze of the
Holy Ghost power on the inside of me.
I commit to serving you Jesus wholeheartedly, full of the Holy
Ghost power and might and fervency.
From this day onwards, I commit to winning souls every single
day until Jesus comes. I commit to living my life red
hearts and on fire with the passion and the zeal that comes
from serving you. Lord, that I will finish my race
and feel those words. Well done, good and faithful
servants, welcome into the presence of the Lord.
Hallelujah. Now give the letter.
Shout of grey angry. Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah. Thank you, Cheesy.
It is my great joy to tell you I look forward to seeing you in
the cloud or in heaven, whichever one comes first.
That not one Father. Would you watch them?
Would you today? Fill them Holy Spirit, keep them
that not one would be missing on that day.
In Jesus mighty name, Amen. God bless you.
I'll hand over to your hostel.
