Transcript

00:19Thank you for listening.

02:00Today, many believers face the very same challenges.

02:04Will we trust God when we do not understand what he's doing?

02:09Join us as we discover how to walk confidently with a God we know while trusting him who is infinitely

02:18greater than our understanding.

02:20Walking with a God we know, trusting beyond our understanding.

02:25Want to know more?

02:27Hang around.

02:32Welcome.

02:33Welcome to Lions Roar 3.8 Ministries.

02:36Amos 3.8 tells us,

02:37The lion has roared who will not fear.

02:40The Lord God has spoken who can but prophesy.

02:44My name is George Magalhães and we are an apostolic ministry with a prophetic teaching edge.

02:50It is our passion, our mission to reignite, equip and release Christ-like disciples both locally and globally.

02:57We do that through our itinerant ministry but as well as providing with resources just like this one to help

03:03you, to guide you in your God-given calling.

03:05Today, we've got an amazing study, a very, very interesting study about walking with the God we know.

03:14So, as you can see on the screen, our main verse comes from the book of Isaiah, chapter 55, verse

03:218.

03:22And we'll be reading from the Amplified Classic Version.

03:26For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord.

03:36Hello, hello.

03:37So, we've got my amazing wife with us again today, Sabrina.

03:44For those who are new, welcome, welcome, welcome.

03:48My name is George, my wife's Sabrina and we've been ministering this year for 20 years full-time now.

03:55Yes.

03:56So, it is our pleasure, our passion actually to do this.

04:00God's called us into ministry and we want to welcome those that are watching for the first time and those

04:04that are coming back.

04:05Welcome to the Boost Program.

04:08The Boost Program is what we do.

04:10It's a program we have every Wednesday night here in Australia, wherever you are in the world.

04:17Maybe it's morning or afternoon to boost your faith, to help you, to guide you in your God-given calling.

04:23We do that.

04:24Obviously, it is mainly focused on the church, on the body of Christ to encourage you.

04:30But we do have other people that come and watch and you're all welcome.

04:33So, this is also a program where you can bring your prayer requests because that's what we're here for, to

04:40encourage you.

04:41Usually, we do a study or we do a teaching or we'll have a prayer night where we just allow

04:49Holy Spirit to move as He pleases

04:51and we pray for people, prophesy, whatever the Holy Spirit leads us to do.

04:55Today, we're going to be doing a study, as you just said at the beginning.

04:59Now, if you're from our, from not our, but if you're from the Christian channel, the Gospel Commission Christian channel,

05:06welcome, welcome back.

05:08Welcome if it's your first time.

05:10If you're watching from the business channel, Fernando JFM, on Facebook, welcome.

05:16This is not a business webinar.

05:17It is more like a spiritual nourishment.

05:21As ministers, which is our top priority, we are here to encourage and to minister unto the Lord,

05:27unto His people, unto the nations.

05:29That's our calling.

05:30So, if you're here from the business, we're here to encourage you.

05:35So, if you have any prayer requests, prepare them so you can bring them up, type them up on the

05:40comment section.

05:41Anything else that I missed?

05:43No.

05:45Actually, this week, we launched the book, the paperback of When You Pray, Declare and Dominate.

05:55Amen.

05:55So, that is a proper book, manual, as you would call it.

06:02It will help you in your prayer life very much.

06:06We worked really hard on that to help you in your prayer life.

06:09So, check it out.

06:10It's on Amazon.

06:13And you can find the link from our Facebook.

06:18You can find the link from our website.

06:20Our website has more than just a book.

06:22It will also have merch if you want, you know, fun merch, merch with things from Christians, slogans on it

06:31and stuff like that.

06:32We also have notebooks as well and e-books that we have.

06:35It's one way you can support this ministry.

06:37So, check it out.

06:39And you can also find some of our stuff on our YouTube channel.

06:43All right.

06:43As usual, let me give you an introduction, some context in the study that we're going to be covering today.

06:51So, from Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals two truths that stand side by side.

06:59First, God desires to be known.

07:02He speaks to His people.

07:04He reveals His character.

07:05He guides, teaches, comforts, and leads us through His Spirit.

07:09And second, God remains infinitely greater than human understanding.

07:16No matter how much we learn, there will always be depths of His wisdom, knowledge, and purposes that exceed our

07:23ability to fully comprehend.

07:24Otherwise, it would not be God.

07:26Amen?

07:26Amen.

07:26So, Isaiah 55, verse 8 reminds us.

07:30For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord.

07:35The Christian life is therefore lived in a beautiful tension.

07:39We truly know God, yet we do not know everything.

07:44We receive revelation, yet we still walk by faith.

07:49We hear His voice, yet we remain dependent upon Him for every step.

07:55Throughout Scripture, God's greatest servants discover that intimacy with God does not eliminate mystery.

08:03The closer they walked with Him, the more they realized both His nearness and His greatness.

08:10Today, we'll explore this truth through the lives of Moses and Job, examine what the New Covenant teaches about revelation,

08:18and discover why God's kingdom is designed to keep us dependent upon Him.

08:23The goal of faith is not complete understanding.

08:28The goal of faith is complete trust in the one who understands all things.

08:34Let me say that again, because that is so crucial for the study that we're covering today.

08:39The goal of faith is not complete understanding.

08:45The goal of faith is complete trust in the one who understands all things.

08:51So, the following other topics we'll be discussing today.

08:54Number one, Moses, the friend who walked with God.

08:58Number two, Job, trusting God when answers do not come.

09:02Number three, the New Covenant reality, knowing God in part.

09:06Number four, the kingdom pattern, revelation and dependence.

09:10Number five, Summary.

09:11And number six, we'll finish with declaration prayer.

09:14All right, let's get on to it.

09:16Number one, Moses, the friend who walked with God.

09:20All right, so after God delivered Israel from Egypt, remember the story?

09:25Moses entered into a remarkable relationship with them, as recorded in Exodus 33.

09:32Scripture says in Exodus 33, reading from the Amplified Classic,

09:36And the Lord spoke to Moses' face to face as a man speaks to his friend.

09:42Moses returned to the camp, but his minister, Joshua, son of Nun, a young man,

09:49did not depart from the temporary prayer tent.

09:53See, God revealed his presence, his character, his instructions, and his covenant.

10:01Moses was not following a distant God.

10:03He was following a God who desired a relationship.

10:07He wanted more of God.

10:09So, he asked, Exodus 33, 18,

10:13And Moses said, I beseech you, show me your glory.

10:17To which God responded in Exodus 33, verse 20,

10:21You cannot see my face, for no man shall see me and live.

10:29So, Moses knew God's presence, but he could not fully understand God's complete glory.

10:34God revealed himself to Moses, but only in part, not in full.

10:40See, the lesson we learn here is this.

10:43Moses teaches us that intimacy with God does not eliminate mystery.

10:49The closer we grow to God, the more we discover both his nearest and his greatness.

10:55So, in saying this, even those whom God uses prophetically do not know everything at all times.

11:02The Bible says, for we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

11:071 Corinthians 13, verse 9.

11:09Showing that God reveals only what is needed.

11:13When it is needed, no more and no less.

11:18Following God's leading is not about knowing everything.

11:22It is about knowing and trusting in the one who does, which is God.

11:26When we do not understand God's direction, we need to return to his presence,

11:33because this will help us to trust.

11:35Trust in his character, obey his instruction, and continue walking forward.

11:42Moses did not lead Israel because he knew everything.

11:45He led Israel because he followed the one who knew everything.

11:50Amen?

11:51Amen.

11:52Alright, so let's apply this to life.

11:55Let me give you a life analogy.

11:57So, we're talking about Moses, the friend who walked with God.

12:00A child may know and trust a loving parent.

12:04The child knows the parent's voice.

12:06The child knows the parent's character.

12:08The child knows the parent loves them.

12:11Yet the child does not understand every decision the parent makes, right?

12:15The relationship is real, even when understanding is incomplete.

12:19Likewise, God often calls us to trust his heart before we understand his plans.

12:26Amen?

12:27Amen.

12:28Number two, Job.

12:29Trusting God when answers do not come.

12:33Alright, so Job's story begins with tragedy.

12:35Yes.

12:36This is described in Job 1 verses 13 to 19, Job 1 verses 18 to 19, and Job 2 verse

12:457.

12:45He loses his possessions, he loses his children, and he loses his health.

12:50As the suffering continues, Job seeks answers.

12:54Like many believers today, Job asks the question, why?

12:58Throughout the book, Job wrestles with understanding his circumstances.

13:03Then God speaks not by giving a full explanation, but by revealing his greatness.

13:11From the whirlwind, he reminds Job that his wisdom and authority are far greater than human understanding.

13:18You can check that in Job 38 verse 1, Job 38 verses 2 to 4, Job 38, 34 to 41,

13:26and Job 40 verses 1 to 2.

13:30Not with a detailed explanation, not with a timeline, and not with a complete answer.

13:37In the end, Job responds, Job 42 verse 3, and I'm reading Amplified Classic.

13:42You said to me, who is this that darkens and obscures counsel by words without knowledge?

13:49Therefore, I now see, and I have rashly uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which

13:59I did not know.

14:01Job receives something greater than an explanation.

14:04He receives a deeper revelation of God.

14:08Amen.

14:09Amen.

14:10The lesson we learn from this is this.

14:13Job learned that faith is not built upon having every answer.

14:17Faith is built upon trusting God's wisdom when answers are absent.

14:23Not expecting God to conform to our expectation or provide answers according to our timetable.

14:30Sometimes God's response to our questions is not an explanation, but a revelation of his presence.

14:36How many of us, we know, we've fasted and we were expecting this answer, we came out of it with

14:43another different answer, or just with peace from God, because there is a revelation of his presence.

14:50Just for explanation.

14:50So when suffering creates questions, how do we respond?

14:55We need to respond by continuing seeking God.

14:59Refuse bitterness.

15:01Stay faithful during uncertainty.

15:03Trust God's wisdom above our own understanding.

15:07Job's breakthrough began when his focus shifted from demanding answers to encountering God.

15:16All right, so let me give you a life analogy here.

15:19We're talking about Job trusting God when answers do not come.

15:22Imagine standing beside the ocean.

15:25You can touch it.

15:26You can experience it.

15:28You can enjoy its beauty.

15:29But you cannot contain the entire ocean in your hands, right?

15:33That is often how our relationship with God works.

15:37We genuinely know him, seek him, yet we cannot fully comprehend him.

15:42Amen?

15:44Amen.

15:45All right.

15:46Number three, the new covenant reality, knowing God in part.

15:51All right, so the New Testament reveals an incredible truth.

15:54Through Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit, we can truly walk in the kind of relationship that Moses and Job experienced.

16:04You know, Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 2.16, I'm reading from the Amplified Classic,

16:09For who has known or understood the mind, the counsels and purposes of the Lord, so as to guide and

16:16instruct him and give him knowledge?

16:18But we have the mind of Christ, the Messiah, and do hold the thoughts, feelings and purposes of his heart.

16:25Through the Spirit, we receive spiritual understanding.

16:29We learn God's ways.

16:31We grow in wisdom.

16:32We discern spiritual truth.

16:35Jesus also promised in John 16, verse 13.

16:39Now reading from the New King James Version.

16:41However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth.

16:48For he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears, he will speak, and he will tell

16:53you things to come.

16:55God continues to reveal himself to his people.

16:59Yet scripture balances this truth with another.

17:021 Corinthians 13, verse 9, tells us in New King James Version.

17:06For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

17:11The Amplified Classic says it this way.

17:13For our knowledge is fragmentary, incomplete, and imperfect.

17:18And our prophecy, our teaching, is fragmentary, incomplete, and imperfect.

17:24It's in the Word of God.

17:27Furthermore, 1 Corinthians 13, verse 12, reveals more.

17:31For now we see in a mirror dimly.

17:34But then face to face, now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am

17:42known.

17:43We know God truly, yet we do not know him completely.

17:47The lesson we learn from this is the purpose of revelation is not to satisfy curiosity.

17:53The purpose of revelation is to produce faith and obedience.

17:59God reveals enough for relationship, wisdom, encouragement, spiritual growth, direction.

18:06But he reserves some things for himself.

18:09As the scripture declares in Deuteronomy 29, 29, from the AMPC version.

18:15The secret things belong unto the Lord our God.

18:20But the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever,

18:26that we may do all of the words of this law.

18:30Instead of demanding complete understanding, follow God's presence instruction.

18:37Walk by faith, trust Holy Spirit's guidance, allow God to reveal truth in his timing.

18:46Amen.

18:47Okay, let me give you a life analogy here.

18:49We're talking about the new covenant reality, knowing God in part.

18:54So a traveler using a flashlight at night cannot see the entire road, right?

18:59But the light reveals enough for the next step.

19:03Again, God often guides us in the same way.

19:06He may not reveal the entire journey, but he reveals enough for obedience.

19:12Amen.

19:13Number four, the kingdom pattern, revelation and dependence.

19:18All right.

19:18So the kingdom of God is God's rule active within his people.

19:24Jesus said the kingdom of God is within you.

19:27Luke 17, 21.

19:28And Paul wrote in Romans 14, 17, after all, the kingdom of God is not a matter of getting

19:34the food and drink one likes, but instead it is righteousness, that state which makes

19:40a person acceptable to God, and heart, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

19:46So the kingdom gives us spiritual discernment, wisdom, revelation, guidance, the mind of Christ.

19:55Yet even within the kingdom, we continue to walk by faith.

20:00There is an already and a not yet.

20:05We experience God's presence now, yet we wait a complete understanding later.

20:13So the lesson we learn in this one is the kingdom of God is designed to produce continual dependence

20:20upon God.

20:22Continual.

20:23God gives us revelation, wisdom, discernment, and the guidance of Holy Spirit.

20:27Yet he never intends for us to become independent of him.

20:32Every revelation is an invitation to greater trust.

20:36Every insight is a call to deeper surrender.

20:40Every act of guidance is met to strengthen our relationship with him.

20:46Kingdom living is not built upon self-sufficiency, but upon daily, daily dependence.

20:53Jesus told this to his disciples to pray.

20:57Give us this day our daily bread, reminding us that God desires ongoing relationship rather

21:04than occasional consultation.

21:05The more we know God, the more we realize how much we still need him.

21:11The kingdom teaches us to rely upon God's wisdom today while trusting him with what remains

21:18unseen tomorrow.

21:20All right.

21:21So let me give you a life analogy here.

21:22We're talking about the kingdom pattern, revelation, and dependence.

21:26So a branch connected to a vine receives everything it needs for life and fruitfulness, right?

21:32The branch does not produce fruit through independence.

21:35It produces fruit through connection.

21:39The moment it becomes disconnected, its strength and fruitfulness begin to diminish or die.

21:45Likewise, God's kingdom was never designed for independent living.

21:49We flourish when we remain connected to Christ Jesus, continually receiving his wisdom, guidance,

21:56strength, and life.

21:58The secret of kingdom living is not self-reliance, but constant dependence.

22:03As scripture reminds us in John 15, verse 5.

22:08I am the vine, you are the branches.

22:11Whoever lives in me and I in him bears much abundant fruit.

22:15However, apart from me, cut off from vital union with me, you can do nothing.

22:22Amen.

22:24Amen.

22:25Number five, summary.

22:26All right.

22:27So let's summarize our study today.

22:29Throughout scripture, God reveals himself to his people while remaining infinitely greater

22:37than their understanding.

22:38Moses experienced intimate friendship with God, yet could not fully behold his glory.

22:46Job sought explanations for his suffering, yet discovered that a deeper revelation of God

22:52was greater than any answer he could receive.

22:55Under the new covenant, believers are blessed with the mind of Christ and the guidance of Holy

23:02Spirit, allowing us to know God genuinely and walk closely with him.

23:07Yet scripture reminds us that our knowledge remains partial and that some mysteries belong to

23:13God alone.

23:14Well, the kingdom of God provides revelation, wisdom, discernment, and guidance, but also

23:20teaches continual dependence upon God.

23:23Every step of faith requires trust in his character, his promises, and his leading.

23:29The Christian life is not about possessing complete knowledge.

23:33It is about developing complete trust.

23:36God reveals enough of himself for relationship, obedience, and faith, while inviting us to trust

23:42him with what remains unseen.

23:45When understanding is limited, faith continues.

23:50When answers are delayed, trust remains.

23:54When mysteries persist, God's character remains unchanged.

23:58Our confidence is not found in knowing everything God is doing.

24:02Our confidence is found in knowing the God who does.

24:06Amen.

24:07Amen.

24:08Number six, declaration prayer.

24:10All right.

24:11So this part is when we make a declaration prayer over our lives, over ourselves, over you

24:18guys.

24:18Based on what we've just learned, right?

24:20Those are declarations based on everything in that study.

24:23So as usual, we'll encourage you to listen to it.

24:29And as God guides you, then you can either receive that as a prayer, or you can come back

24:34later and declare it yourself as well.

24:37Amen.

24:38Amen.

24:39Getting hiccups here.

24:40All right.

24:42Deuteronomy 29, 29.

24:45Father, we thank you that you are a God who reveals yourself to your people.

24:49Thank you that through Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit, we can know you, we walk with you,

24:56hear your voice, and experience your presence.

24:59Isaiah 55, verse 8.

25:01Today we acknowledge that while we know you truly, we do not know you fully.

25:06Your wisdom is higher than our wisdom.

25:09Your ways are higher than our ways, and your purpose are greater than our understanding.

25:14Exodus 33, 14.

25:17Job 42, verse 3.

25:19Like Moses, we may desire your presence.

25:22We desire your presence more than explanations.

25:26Like Job, may we trust your wisdom when we cannot see the reason for our circumstances.

25:33Proverbs 3, 5 to 6 and 2 Corinthians 5, verse 7.

25:37Teach us to follow your leading daily, to walk by faith and not by sight.

25:42Release more discernment through your spirit.

25:45Courage to obey your voice and humility to trust you with the things we do not understand.

25:51Psalm 46, verse 1.

25:53Isaiah 26, verse 3.

25:55We declare that we will not be controlled by confusion, fear, or uncertainty.

26:00We will trust the character of God even when we cannot trace the hand of God.

26:061 Corinthians 2, 16, John 16, 13, and Romans, chapter 14, verse 17.

26:12We declare that we have the mind of Christ, that your kingdom is active within us, and that your spirit

26:18is guiding us into truth day by day.

26:21We choose to trust you, follow you, and surrender to you, now and forevermore.

26:26In the mighty name of Jesus we pray.

26:28Amen.

26:29Amen and amen.

26:30Glory to God.

26:32Hallelujah.

26:34All right, if you're new here and you have not made Jesus your Lord and Savior, today is the day.

26:40You know, God's word says in 1 John 5, verses 4 to 5, for whatever is born of God overcomes

26:46the world.

26:47And this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.

26:52Where are you putting your faith?

26:53Because everybody's putting their faith in something or someone.

26:57Maybe you put your faith in money.

26:59Maybe you put your faith in gurus or millionaires or whatever.

27:03But you know what?

27:04Your faith needs to be in God alone, in Jesus Christ.

27:08His word goes on to say, who is he who overcomes the world?

27:11But he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

27:15That's the only way you can overcome the world.

27:19And let me add on to that, John 3, 16 to 17.

27:23Because most of us have heard this verse before, but usually John 3, 16 is the one that is most

27:32recognized.

27:33But God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.

27:36So he's talking about God the Creator, Father, that he gave his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, willingly.

27:43Jesus willingly gave his life for us.

27:46That's what we're hearing right now.

27:48That whoever believes in him, so whoever believes in Jesus Christ, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

27:55This is talking about eternity.

27:58That's right.

27:59For God did not send his Son into the world.

28:01This is verse 17.

28:02That's why this is so important.

28:04He did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world.

28:07Oh, that's not what the world says.

28:09That's right.

28:11Conveniently left out, isn't it?

28:12He did not send his Son to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

28:19And that might part is on us.

28:23It's only might if you don't choose to believe in Jesus Christ, to make him your Lord and Savior.

28:30Then you don't get saved.

28:32It's not God being rude here or being bad.

28:36It's you making that decision.

28:37Let's be real here.

28:39We're living in a society that doesn't like taking responsibility, accountability.

28:44We like to point a finger, but we've got a plank on our eyes.

28:49This is not how it works.

28:52So what do you have to do?

28:54Well, 1 John 1 verse 9 tells us straight out, very simply,

28:59if we confess our sins, and sins here, in the most simplistic definition is when we try to live our

29:06life without God.

29:07When you try to live your life without God, you are in sin.

29:10How?

29:11Because you were created by God, for God, in God.

29:17Amen.

29:19We were.

29:20So if you want to live the best life that you can ever live, if you want to fulfill the

29:26purpose that you have for your life,

29:28because every single person has a purpose, you must live in relationship with Christ Jesus.

29:33You must live in relationship with God, in union with God.

29:39God of the Bible.

29:42The true God.

29:43The only God that is alive.

29:46So if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from

29:52all unrighteousness.

29:54So where do I begin?

29:55What do I have to do?

29:56Okay, so if you look at the screen, you'll see in Romans 10 verses 9 to 10 is very clear,

30:02and explains very simply what you have to do.

30:05If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, just like you can hear my audible voice right now,

30:10but it has to come from real intention, with that right intention from your heart,

30:16if you confess with the mouth the Lord Jesus, so you make Jesus your Lord and Savior,

30:20and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, and belief starts with the decision,

30:26you will be saved.

30:27There it is.

30:28He guarantees you, you will be saved.

30:31For with a heart, man believeth unto righteousness, and with a mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

30:38Then he goes on.

30:39As you can see, there's other Bible verses there.

30:41Those Bible verses, he's talking about a special gift he wants to give you.

30:46So once you cry out to God from the bottom of your heart, you really mean it.

30:50You have the right intention.

30:52There is no generic prayer.

30:53It has to come from your heart, and it can sound like this.

31:00Enough, Jesus.

31:01I can't live on my own anymore.

31:03I need you.

31:03I make you my Lord and Savior from this day forward.

31:06I thank you for coming and dying on that cross for me, in my place.

31:11And from this day forward, use my life for your glory.

31:15Simple as that.

31:17But he has to come from the right heart.

31:20But it doesn't stop there, because then he wants to give you a very special gift.

31:24Apart from salvation, which is amazing, he wants to give you a gift, what we call in the Christian circles,

31:29we call the baptism of Holy Spirit and fire.

31:32So Titus 3 verse 5, Ephesians 2 verse 8, Acts 1 verse 8, amongst others, goes on to say,

31:39Then he saved us by grace, through faith, the gift of God, washing away our sins and giving us the

31:46new joy of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

31:48There it is, giving us the new joy of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

31:53Talking about the fact that if you cry out to God and you say, yes, I want you, Lord, you

31:59will come.

32:00The very Spirit of God will come, God himself, and live inside of you.

32:05He will make you his dwelling place.

32:08And you will receive, that's the consequence, you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,

32:15and you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere.

32:20Wow, that is amazing.

32:22And what we're going to do is we're going to pray together.

32:24That's right.

32:25And those who have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire, that's okay.

32:29The Bible actually shows us many examples where people asked for a fresh infilling, for a fresh baptism.

32:37We can do that.

32:38But it's different from water baptism.

32:40Yes.

32:41We can do that.

32:42But we're going to do that together because we're going to do it with our brothers and sisters,

32:45those that are watching, those that are hungry for the baptism of the Holy Spirit,

32:49those that have just cried out to God and made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior.

32:52We want to celebrate with you by praying together.

32:55So let's pray.

32:56Lord, I thank you for this wonderful privilege of praying with our brothers and sisters throughout the world.

33:01Lord, we thank you.

33:03We thank you.

33:04And we are so grateful, eternally grateful, that now our names are written in the book of life.

33:13And thank you that nothing, nothing can take us away from that.

33:17For you will continue to guide us every step of the way.

33:20You will use our lives for your glory.

33:22But we are also hungry, Lord.

33:24And we want your spirit.

33:27Spirit, we want fresh baptism of your spirit and fire.

33:34For your word says that our God is a consuming fire.

33:37So, Lord, set us alight.

33:39We want revival.

33:42Revival in and through us, that we may represent you as the Christ ambassadors that you've created us to be.

33:52As the children of God.

33:56Yes, Lord, we say yes.

33:59Fill us afresh, inside and out.

34:02Live inside of us and use us for your glory.

34:05In Jesus' name.

34:07Amen.

34:09Congratulations.

34:10Welcome back to the kingdom.

34:11Family, as always, this is so important.

34:16Get connected with the Bible teaching, Holy Spirit filled church.

34:19No, you will not find a perfect church.

34:21There is no perfect church.

34:22As soon as we walk in there, it's not perfect anymore.

34:25We're all growing.

34:26We're all learning.

34:27We're all at different phases.

34:28That's right.

34:29So, show grace so you'll be given grace.

34:31And understand that Jesus is the head.

34:33We are the body.

34:34So, you need the body of Christ.

34:36You cannot go on this journey alone.

34:39So, if you need help with finding a church, we're more than willing to help you in that area.

34:45Just send us your name and the area that you live in.

34:47You don't have to give us your whole address, just the area you live in.

34:50And we'll find you a church that you can get connected with.

34:53That's right.

34:53Amen.

34:54Amen.

34:54And you can grow from there.

34:57If you arrived a little bit later, just reminding you, we have finally released, when you pray, declare and dominate.

35:07It is a prayer manual journal that we've created for you, which will very, very much help you in your

35:17prayer life.

35:17It is a very good book.

35:19It took us a while to make, but we got it done.

35:23And we had recently, I think 15 days ago or something like that, we had released the e-book version.

35:29But now, this week itself, we've released the paperback.

35:32We are very proud of it.

35:34We are very thankful to God for it.

35:36Yes.

35:36And it's found at Amazon.

35:39So if you want to check it out, you can see the link through our Facebook, through YouTube, through our

35:46website.

35:56So it's Amazon, but you can also access it in the U.S., in the U.K., in Australia.

36:02There's even Brazil.

36:03There's Japan.

36:04There's all over the place.

36:05So you can access that all over.

36:16But give us some time because we're the ones doing that.

36:20We don't have staff members or anybody helping us.

36:23So, but you've got that option.

36:26If you don't need it, maybe you know somebody who does.

36:29Get a gift.

36:30Bless someone with this.

36:32I mean, it's wonderful because it is quite detailed.

36:36It's got Bible verses, references.

36:38So it's not something that just got words in there.

36:42You've got places where you can actually write in your own progress.

36:46So it's actually very practical where you can actually use it every day, right?

36:52You are speaking the word of God in your day.

36:56How awesome is that?

36:57And you'll be sowing into this ministry as well, helping us out.

37:14Because what we are doing, you are also doing through us.

37:17As we preach, as we pray, as we do all those things, it is also you who are actually partnering

37:24and doing the same thing with us.

37:25You're just doing it in a different way.

37:27We're just the face of it.

37:28But you are the one also carrying this ministry.

37:31So thank you very much for it.

37:33All right.

37:48All these things, all our need will be provided.

37:52We decree and declare Galatians 5, 1.

37:54That it was for freedom that Christ set us free.

37:57Therefore, we will keep standing firm and not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.

38:02We decree and declare Galatians 5, 52.

38:04We will live in the Spirit and we will follow you.

38:09552.

38:09I said say that, right?

38:12Oh.

38:12Galatians 5, 22.

38:42Philippians 3, 14 to 16.

38:45We will run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal

38:50and gaining the victory prize through the anointing of Jesus.

38:53As we fully mature, may we all have this same passion.

38:58And if anyone is not yet gripped by these desires, God reveal it to them.

39:03For we shall all advance together to reach this victory prize, following one path with

39:08one passion in the mighty name of Jesus.
