Introduction: Smitten From Hell
The speaker begins by stating that some infirmities and battles people face are due to being "smitten from hell" and having their destiny divided. He references the story of two women in 1 Kings 3:24-26, using it to illustrate how some people are negligent and unaware of the dangers surrounding them, drawing a parallel to those who are passive about their children's well-being or life's challenges. He shares a personal anecdote about his son's health scare and how he confronted the situation with faith and powerful words.
The Power of Words and Faith
The speaker shares a story of a woman in his church whose daughter died, but she persistently prayed until the daughter was resurrected. He emphasises the importance of not accepting defeat and standing firm on God's promises, quoting scriptures to reinforce the idea that God empowers those who wait on Him. He declares that God is unchanging and that when He blesses, no one can curse.
Smite and Divide: Understanding Spiritual Warfare
The speaker explains the concept of "smite and divide," referencing 1 Kings 3:26-28, where one of the women suggested dividing the child. He interprets this spiritually, stating that if the enemy cannot stop you, they will try to divide you or reduce your productivity. He warns against having qualifications and achievements that amount to nothing and encourages listeners to reclaim what has been taken from them spiritually, including their virtue, glory, capacity, and potential, prophesying restoration and empowerment.
Battles and Confrontations: The Source of Affliction
The speaker asserts that every battle, challenge, and affliction originates from somewhere, referencing Job 5:6 to emphasise that trouble does not arise spontaneously. He highlights that a spirit controls matters and influences our fate. He shares his past belief that being in the right location was enough for success, but he now understands that divine atmosphere is essential.
The Importance of Divine Atmosphere
The speaker stresses that being in the right location is insufficient without God's presence, referencing Exodus 13:21, where God provided a pillar of cloud and fire. He explains that many people are in the places God intended for them but lack the necessary atmosphere, presence, and connectivity with God. He uses the example of the disciples in the boat during a storm to illustrate that noise doesn't move Jesus, but relationship does, emphasising the importance of being born again and connected to a deity, especially in these times.
The Reality of Spiritual Battles
The speaker argues against free thinking and evolution, stating that spiritual battles will align one's mind and reveal the reality of the spirit world. He notes that addictions and other issues often have spiritual roots. He references Balac erecting 21 altars, highlighting the importance of understanding the spirituality of life.
Responsibility and Faith
The speaker shares that God has instructed him to emphasise personal responsibility, as many people wonder why prophecies are unfulfilled. He quotes Matthew 19:26, stating that with God, all things are possible, but this requires being connected to and with God. He asserts that any faith that absolves you of responsibility is irresponsible. He uses the example of Jesus being unable to perform miracles in a city due to their lack of faith and receptiveness, and Elisha only being sent to specific individuals to illustrate the importance of responsibility and receptivity in experiencing God's anointing.
Spiritual Irresponsibility and Western Training
The speaker warns against spiritual irresponsibility, which can cause one to doubt the authenticity of anointing. He advises against relying solely on Western logic and training, as some things are inherently spiritual. He shares a story of a well-read young man who initially dismissed spiritual explanations until his mother experienced a mental breakdown, leading him to recognise the reality of spirits and ultimately become a fervent believer.
Smite and Divide: Reclaiming Your Best
The speaker reiterates the concept of "smite and divide," stating that some people are comfortable but unaware that they are not at their best because something has been taken from them. He asserts that the greatest enemy of your next level is your last achievement and encourages listeners to pray for the release of their potentials and wealth.
Conclusion and Encouragement
The speaker expresses gratitude to the viewers and encourages them to subscribe, comment, and watch the next video. He concludes with the motivational message that winners never quit and quitters never win.
