Introduction: The Believer's Participatory Role [0:00]
The sermon begins by highlighting that humans were created to connect with both the physical and spiritual realms, emphasizing that God is spirit and must be approached spiritually. It asserts that the physical world is a product of the spiritual realm, and altering physical realities requires intervention from the spiritual dimension. The speaker challenges the notion that divine intervention occurs passively, asserting that believers have an active role in manifesting God's kingdom through prayer and altering realities by reaching into the spiritual realm.
Spiritual Laws and Divine Governance [3:23]
The speaker emphasizes that the spiritual realm operates by specific spiritual laws, referencing Job 38:33 to illustrate that Heaven is governed by ordinances. Understanding and applying these laws allows believers to reproduce heavenly realities on Earth. He refutes the idea of luck or chance, asserting that success, wealth, influence, and love are governed by precise spiritual laws that can be understood and engaged.
The Law of Faith: Integrity and Ability of God [6:11]
The first spiritual law discussed is the law of faith, which activates the supernatural. Numbers 23:19 is cited to highlight God's integrity, emphasizing that God does not lie and always fulfills His promises. Hebrews 11:6 is referenced to underscore that pleasing God requires believing in His existence and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The speaker clarifies that faith is rooted in revelation about God's integrity and ability, not merely declaring and hoping.
The Foundation of Bible Faith: Revelation and Persuasion [11:07]
The foundation of Bible faith rests on two qualities of God: His integrity and His ability. Ephesians 3:20 confirms God's ability to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think. True faith involves vetting God's integrity through the scriptures and trusting in His consistency. This revelation leads to persuasion or conviction, supplying the staying power needed when situations resist change.
Participatory Role in Actualizing Spiritual Realities [23:12]
The speaker emphasizes that believing God is not the only requirement for faith; there is a participatory role that believers must play in actualizing spiritual realities. Deuteronomy 28:1 and Joshua 1:8 are cited to highlight the importance of obedience and observing God's commands. Faith involves both saying what God has said and doing what He commands, as every dimension of possibility transferred from the spiritual realm has exact conditions.
Restoration and Discerning the Prophetic Voice [25:43]
Restoration is discussed in the context of discerning and heeding the prophetic voice. The speaker asserts that restoration is based on locating the prophet sent to speak to you, not just any available prophet. He shares a personal story of arriving in a new city with limited resources and receiving divine instructions that led to significant transformation, emphasizing that miracles require faith and obedience to God's word.
Activating Faith: Beyond Speaking and Believing [29:53]
Speaking and believing are only parts of activating faith. The speaker explains that speaking is activated when the conditions are met. For example, desiring friends requires showing oneself friendly. Mastering the laws of relationship is essential for attracting destiny helpers. The anointing finds its credence from knowledge and intelligence, and it works in partnership with the information on your head.
Competence, Excellence, and Favor [33:01]
Competence acts as a magnet, attracting people and allowing you to select the kind of people you want to deal with. Miracles attract multitudes, but wisdom attracts kings. The speaker references Isaiah 60:1, noting that kings are attracted to applicable wisdom, not just light. Excellence is a language that attracts those who can speak it. Understanding faith involves recognizing that a major part of it lies with the believer, not just God.
Conditions for Desired Outcomes and the Role of Favor [35:32]
The speaker urges listeners to find out the conditions attached to their desires, such as restoration and Kingdom wealth. In times of crisis, like a pandemic, favor is more critical than wealth. Exodus 3:21 indicates that favor ensures your hands are never empty. Esther 2:15 highlights that favor compels those who look upon you to bless you. Good understanding brings favor, while transgression brings hardship, emphasizing that many outcomes are products of obeying or violating spiritual laws.
Taking Responsibility and Insisting on God's Promises [37:35]
The speaker encourages listeners to take responsibility for their lives and insist on God's promises. When not seeing favor or speed, one should examine which spiritual laws are being broken. The spirit of Grace empowers and helps those who take responsibility. God wants to bring believers to a point where they are not afraid of their results because they know how to reproduce them.
Spiritual Laws Governing Church Growth and Personal Transformation [38:35]
Pastors desiring church growth must understand the spiritual laws governing it. Lifting oneself up hinders God's promise to draw men, while signs and wonders attract people. The speaker uses the analogy of people looting warehouses during protests to illustrate that people will go to great lengths for something they value. He encourages listeners to embody the qualities that attract others and to seek transformation in every encounter.
The Law of Value and Personal Development [41:30]
The law of value dictates that what you possess determines who seeks you. Like Jesus, possessing certain qualities attracts all men. The speaker challenges listeners to work on themselves, follow those who have obtained results, and trust God for Grace. He advises preachers to remain in the secret place, businessmen to pursue certifications, and public speakers to be strict with themselves.
The Power of Service and Loyalty [43:50]
The speaker highlights the lifting power of service, noting that God can lift a man overnight. Elisha's service and loyalty vetoed the traditional path to becoming a prophet. He encourages those serving faithfully to remember God's promise of lifting and to recognize that their actions are witnessed in the spiritual realm.
Time, Faith, and Engaging Principles [45:58]
Time only reveals, but it is the decision out of a heart of faith that brings change. The speaker emphasizes the importance of believing God and engaging His principles. He addresses various personal situations, such as raising Godly children, restoring lost possessions, and receiving prophetic declarations, urging listeners to receive and act on God's word.
Prayer for Grace, Integrity, and Ability [47:21]
The sermon transitions into a prayer session, urging listeners to lift their voices and pray for Grace and wisdom. The speaker leads prayers for trusting God's integrity and ability, speaking to every lie, and programming realities in the spirit. He encourages listeners to declare God's word over their lives and to challenge every mountain standing before them.
Declarations and Prophecies for Transformation [52:17]
The speaker leads declarations based on Isaiah 43:26, urging listeners to put God's word on their lips and not be discouraged. He leads prayers for favor, challenging every mountain, and calling forth joy, peace, power, speed, and restoration.
Final Blessings and Prophetic Utterances [59:06]
The speaker pronounces blessings over the listeners, decreeing open doors, uncommon Grace, and Wonder-working Grace. He speaks against delay and accelerates results, prophesying job testimonies within three months. He calls forth destiny helpers and speaks over finances, activating possibilities and changing financial situations. Finally, he prays for spiritual life, igniting fresh fire and hunger for the word of God.
