Prophetic Visions and Regrets [0:00]
The speaker shares a vision from 2028 involving Donald Trump, who expresses regrets about not accomplishing all he intended during his presidency. The speaker also recalls a past prophecy warning Trump about Elon Musk's deceptive nature and betrayal, leading to Trump's desire to deport him. The speaker emphasises Musk's deceptiveness and withholds further details until the vision fully matures.
Understanding Prayer [3:20]
The speaker transitions to the topic of prayer, defining it as communication with God. He introduces a new form of prayer, which involves opening the Bible to a random verse and allowing God to speak through the scriptures. The speaker stresses that the Bible is not just a book but a direct line to God, and studying it is a form of prayer.
Studying Scripture as Prayer [6:51]
The speaker asserts that studying the scriptures is the most accurate form of prayer, even more so than praying in tongues. When studying, one's heart has questions, and finding answers in the verses is God's response. The speaker shares that God has restricted him from reading books by other men of God, preferring to receive direct revelations. He controversially states that studying God's word is better than praying, as it uses God's language.
Hearing God's Voice [11:14]
The speaker explains that Christians often have preconceived notions of God, which can hinder their understanding. He emphasises that God's voice is constant, while his face may change. It's crucial to know God by his voice, as Lucifer can transform into an angel of light but cannot replicate Jesus's voice. The speaker highlights the unique assignment of their ministry and the importance of sharpening one's understanding through the word before engaging in prayer.
The Importance of Knowledge [14:42]
The speaker stresses that one minute of prayer with understanding from the word is more effective than hours of prayer without it. He advises only praying about what one understands from scripture and encourages listening to God in silence during study, rather than just talking to him in prayer. The speaker criticises excessive prayer without knowledge, stating that people perish for lack of knowledge, not prayer.
The Deceiver and Deliverance [17:49]
The speaker identifies the devil as the deceiver, who targets those lacking knowledge. True deliverance comes through teaching and changing from within, not just casting out demons. Spirits are invited to locations through actions and ignorance. The speaker uses the analogy of a house swept clean but left empty, which becomes re-inhabited by more wicked spirits, to illustrate that casting out demons is only the beginning of deliverance.
The Demon of Ignorance [21:21]
The speaker identifies ignorance as the primary demon, leading to crime, prostitution, drugs, and murder. He contrasts areas with high crime rates and low levels of knowledge with more educated areas where crime is lower. The speaker urges Christians to love studying and knowledge, as their God is knowledgeable. He explains that the devil deceives based on ignorance, and having wrong information can lead to misplaced faith and fear.
Knowledge and Prosperity [25:17]
The speaker reiterates that money is knowledge and that one's current situation is determined by what they know and don't know. He asserts that prayer is not the key to every door, but only to the door called prayer. The speaker criticises praying about economic issues, stating that they require fixing through informed decisions, such as voting for the right leaders. He advocates for intellectual exams for politicians to ensure competent governance.
The Acts of the Apostles: Introduction [28:16]
The speaker begins a study of the Book of Acts, starting with Acts 1:1. He explains that Luke is writing to Theophilus, referring back to his previous account, the Gospel of Luke, which details what Jesus began to do and teach. The speaker emphasises the importance of understanding the Bible and promises to guide the audience through it.
The Role of the Holy Ghost [30:16]
Continuing in Acts 1, the speaker highlights that Jesus, through the Holy Ghost, gave commandments to the apostles. He notes that the Holy Ghost commands and that Christians should obey without debate. The speaker laments that the ministry of the Holy Ghost is often overlooked, despite its importance. He encourages listeners to keep a dream book, as the Holy Ghost communicates personally and consistently.
Obedience and the Holy Spirit [32:36]
The speaker stresses that the voice of the Holy Ghost grows louder with obedience and that God rewards obedience. He uses the analogy of spiritual classes, where skipping leads to a lack of spiritual growth. The speaker explains that angels differ in strength based on their obedience to God's word. He emphasises that the Holy Ghost chose the apostles and that the current dispensation is the Holy Ghost's season of manifestation.
Proofs of Jesus Being Alive [37:29]
The speaker explains that Jesus showed himself alive to the apostles after his suffering with many unmistakable proofs. These proofs include prophecies, miracles, and healings, which serve to demonstrate that Jesus is alive. The speaker cautions against those who deny miracles, as they are essentially denying that Christ is alive. He clarifies that John the Baptist was the greatest prophet of the Old Testament, but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than him.
The Kingdom of God and Waiting for the Promise [43:55]
The speaker notes that Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God and that the apostles were commanded not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait for the promise of the Father, which is the Holy Ghost. He contrasts worldly success with Christian success, stating that in Christianity, one must wait. The speaker emphasises that Christians are temples of the Holy Ghost and that their job is to wait for the Spirit to bear record of Jesus.
Baptism of the Holy Ghost [49:58]
The speaker highlights that John baptised with water, but the disciples would be baptised with the Holy Ghost. He stresses that this baptism is a prophecy with a time frame and that it is a different form of baptism, where one is immersed into a spirit. The speaker notes that the disciples asked about restoring the kingdom of Israel, but Jesus told them it was not for them to know the times or seasons.
Unique Destinies and Encounters with Jesus [54:29]
The speaker explains that God has a unique destiny for each person and that Christians should not copy others. He emphasises that encountering Jesus should lead to self-discovery and knowing one's purpose. The speaker uses the example of Simon, who became Peter after encountering Jesus, to illustrate how an encounter can change one's identity and path.
The Holy Spirit and Direction [58:16]
The speaker reiterates that Christianity is not by power or might but by the spirit. He asserts that Christians who die in accidents have departed without the Holy Ghost, trusting in their own abilities. The speaker shares personal anecdotes of how the Holy Ghost guides him in his daily life, including what to wear and where to go. He stresses the importance of waiting for the Holy Ghost to direct one's path and decisions.
The Holy Spirit and Prosperity [1:01:39]
The speaker explains that struggling as a Christian indicates a lack of the Holy Spirit. He notes that the Holy Ghost leads to greener pastures and is an equaliser, making the poor rich. The speaker contrasts life in the garden of Eden, which is by obedience, with life outside the garden, which is marked by sweat, toil, and pain. He emphasises that Christians should follow the spirit, not trends, and that businesses born of the spirit are eternal.
Power and Jurisdiction [1:05:59]
The speaker clarifies that the power the Father has is jurisdiction (exusia), not miracle-working ability (dunamis). He explains that receiving the Holy Ghost brings explosive power (dunamis) and enables one to be a witness. The speaker outlines five definitions of dunamis: power residing in an object, power to perform miracles, morality, power plus resources, and power resting upon armies.
Dunamis: Power and Morality [1:08:48]
The speaker explains that dunamis is power residing in something, like a Christian who has waited for the spirit. He contrasts this with those who doze off during prayer, lacking the residing power. Dunamis also means the power to perform miracles, which comes from the Holy Ghost, not from fasting or going to mountains. The speaker asserts that fasting is for consecration, not generating power, and that submission to God's will is what brings the Holy Ghost.
Dunamis: Morality and Resources [1:16:04]
The speaker states that dunamis also symbolises morality, and struggling to live right indicates the absence of the Holy Ghost. He explains that immorality is caused by spirits and that the Holy Spirit convicts of sin to maintain a state of morality. The speaker uses examples to illustrate how demons influence behaviour and how the Holy Ghost guides and warns against temptation.
Dunamis: Power and Resources (Continued) [1:21:44]
The speaker continues to define dunamis, emphasising its connection to power and resources. He interprets Deuteronomy 8:18, stating that God gives the spirit (dunamis) to get wealth, making wealth spiritual. The speaker notes that the wealthiest people in the Old Testament were priests, prophets, and kings, who possessed the spirit. He stresses that direction from the Holy Ghost is crucial for success and that even marriage is a spiritual decision that can greatly impact one's life.
Dunamis: Power Resting Upon Armies [1:31:17]
The speaker concludes the definitions of dunamis with power resting upon armies. He notes America's role in protecting Israel and Michael the Archangel's role in protecting Israel. The speaker explains that Israel cannot lose a war because they are fighting spiritual forces. He cautions against being emotional about conflicts involving Israel, stating that God is attached to his covenant with Israel and that Christians should be on Israel's side. The speaker shares a story of a soldier in Kenya who received a weapon from an angel, illustrating the power that comes upon armies.
