Help us reach out to many by subscribing, sharing, and leaving a review for us on your favorite listening app. This is Sam, your host, and this is an excerpt from a recent word ministered by Pastor Derek. Let's dive in.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Jesus. Can you say thank you, Jesus? Thank you, Jesus. Amen. You may be seated. What a good God we serve. Is he good? He is too good. He is too good. Somebody say he's too good. The house of God is here to make kings and priests. Not to make hallelujah people. Shouting and screaming people who scream one day and then cry throughout the week. We want people who get understanding because only understanding can help you come out of your problem. Don't be very happy to go to a church where there are a lot of miracles, but the word of God is not explained. Because you cannot live from miracle to miracle. Miracle to miracle means disaster to disaster. That means every time you are in a disaster. That's why God stopped mana and he said, I bought you to a promised land. Start tilling the ground. Because they were so used to getting they're like, Give me mana. He's like, No, mana, I bought you to a promised land flowing with milk and honey. You need to know how to tap into it. The day they entered, it says the mana stop. It's not God was like, I'm I can't provide. No, God was saying, I bought you into a land of provision. The church is your land of provision. Ah, I got a very small amen. I said the church is your land of provisionism. Can you shout it? It's my land. And in this place, there is no lack. In this place, there's no lack. There's no lack. You can't be poor. You can't. Everywhere you go, people will fight for you. I said, everywhere you work, people will fight for you. You won't be the reason for fights, they'll fight for you. That means you, if there's ever a problem at your work, it cannot be you. It just cannot be you because you are in a church, and in a church, you're giving secrets and keys and wisdom and grace. That's the whole idea of God. He puts people, you know. I just wrote to my father, I said, Baba, thank you for your voice. For your voice, and then I wrote, Jesus loves me. Jesus loves me because of my man of God sent to me. If you don't, I don't know what you're doing. Learn how to celebrate God. So I wrote to him and he told him, Baba, thank you for your voice. And then I just wrote full stop, Jesus loves me. Meaning what? Jesus loves me so much that he sent you. And I know Jesus' love is expressed through your voice to me. Because the amount of pain and torture and crazy stuff I would have gone through but for your voice. So Jesus looked at you and he said, Hey, that child is struggling. Let me send a voice. I want you to make this your personal goal. Whenever Satan tempts you about your man of God or you have bad thoughts, and I know you'll get them, every son gets it. You have to fight it because this is what Satan wants. He wants to put a thought in your heart about your man of God. So when that thought comes in, you have to promise me you fight it. Because it is literally God's love to you. And if Satan has to corrupt anything, you'll notice he'll first try to corrupt the voice sent to you. If he can corrupt that, you're finished. You're finished, you'll not survive. So he'll do anything, he'll try to bring a misunderstanding, he'll make you feel over they love someone, they don't love you, they they they they they are very compassionate. Somebody they're not for you, they don't know what you're going through, or they know what you're going through and they've not helped you enough. And you need to say, boss, in my house, there's no lack, in my church, there's no lack because the voice sent to me fills all. Celebrate it, you'll receive it. Just as I celebrate my father, may you celebrate him. I love you, Lord. I love you. You may be seated here. So I'm telling you this because these are small things that we probably don't share, but don't ever think that we don't go through the same battles, same temptations. Remember, the temptation will always come to true sons, not to fake ones. It doesn't come to fake ones because they already know they are fake. It will always come through a true son. Give me my share. Let me go. So you got to fight it and say, I'm not come for my share. I'm not come for my reward. I am the reward. There is no reward here that I get from doing anything. I am the reward. That means you are so blessed. You are so blessed that you are the reward. That means people will be so blessed by your life. It's not like a son waiting. Oh, how long I worked for you. How long, eh? You didn't give me one goat. And the father is saying, Really? It was about goats. Son, everything I have is yours. So be free in God's house because everything God has is given to us through his precious promises. Whoever filled in the blanks, God bless you. That's scripture. We partake in the divine nature of God through his precious. Through his precious promises. Are you blessed? Welcome, tell your neighbor, welcome to the spirit life. Welcome to the I pray God after this word today, you will go home. And you're going to come back with crazy testimonies. I said crazy testimonies. If you listen carefully to this word, I promise you you'll come back with crazy testimonies. How many of you had a bad week and can be honest? Only one person? Okay, yes. And what did we preach last Sunday? You'll be born to? And you saw what happened within one week. The enemy, a message comes, you're born to fly. The enemy is like, that's a lie. You'll remain down. Anyway, we come with another more powerful one. You're born to fly. And hopefully, today we'll understand what the enemy is doing. I'm telling you. No chance. Some of you are not convinced. Look at me. Satan has no chance against you. No. Yes? It's not like he can win you. I said he has no chance. So I realized something in this last week. How many of you believe the Christian life is good? The Christian life is joyful. The Christian life is successful. I'm here to tell you it's impossible. The Christian life is impossible. It's not possible. You can never live it. And that's why there are so many Christians who pretend like they are winning, but they're every day. So I want you to start from this level. Can we start from this? It is impossible. Jesus never came to tell you the Christian life can ever be lived with your strength. You have to understand this. It is a no-no. At any point you are going to lose. At any point you'll get condemned. The minute, how many of you realize the minute you got up and said, I'm going to do this, I'm going to get up, I'm going to go to the gym, I am going to do that, I'm going to stay away from that very day. What happened? You failed. That very day, you so I want you to know this very clearly because this is going to bring us to a very important place. Can I I take you to uh Luke chapter 8? Verse 22.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Now it happened on a certain day that he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, Let us cross over to the other side of the lake. And they launched out. But as they sailed, he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down the lake, and they were filling, they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him and awoke him and saying, Master, Master, we are perishing. Then he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of water, and they ceased, and they were there was a calm. But he said to them, Where is your faith? And they were afraid and marveled, saying to one another, Who can this be? For he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him. Amen. That this is the word of the Lord.

SPEAKER_01

This is the word of the Lord. Amen. You can be seated. So I want you to see that this is a story of our life. This is a story of our it's a life story. Every time there's a problem, we get up, we run, the master tells us what? Where is your and then he goes and he does something, right? And everything becomes okay, and then what do we do? We are in awe. Right? So I want to bring a different perspective to this story. Just because I was meditating on something, and then God linked this whole story and showed me something through it, which I've not seen. So this is basically every time the battles that we go through, okay. So I won't be screaming today, I'm just gonna talk to you. Is okay? I want you to understand because this is the secret of the Christian life. It's literally so there's a lot of parts to it, okay? But I'm trying to I'll try and keep it very simple. There's a scientific part to it, there's your physical part to it, and then there is the spiritual part to it. You don't understand this, and you will get hyper-spiritual, and you'll forget you're in a physical body which is also governed by certain laws, and you'll fail. If we understand both, we'll be able to stitch both and always come out victors. Always, I'm not saying you'll you'll lose. No, you will, even if you're thrown in a prison, the door will open. Even if you are thrown in, yeah, that means you're not getting your way. Nobody's they silenced you, they shut your mouth and they throw you, the door will open. They didn't give you a chance. Even if they you are found in lack, you will come out with abundance. Even if you're found that you don't know anything on a topic, you will still have the brightest mind in the room. Even if you you are not a qualified person, you're a woman or a man of stammering lips. If you follow today's word, when you speak, wisdom will come out. That means they'll be speaking many words. You say one line, and everybody will be scratching their head in the room. Because no one thought of that one line. That is what we got and what Jesus did for us. So this is. And how many of you know? You've done it again. How many of you heard people telling you, you know better, you should have not done that? Yet you did it, right? And yet we are supposed to have victory, and yet we are always facing so there's something really wrong somewhere, and yet Jesus promises us not victory, great victories. So we gotta really break it down and say, what is wrong? So I want you to just see this scripture and then we'll go to another one. I just want to say this blanket before this. Whatever I say, remember this. I know you love God, and I too love God. Yes or no? So this has nothing to do with whether you love God or no. It's guaranteed you love God if you're here. And some of you have traveled like so far, that means it's proof. I want you to, if you can underline in your Bible, now it happened on a certain day that he got into a boat with his disciples and he said to them, Let us cross over to the other side of the lake. That line, just make us a note, let us cross over. That's the first thing you need to know. The word of God, the law of God is you're going to cross to the other side.

SPEAKER_00

Amen.

SPEAKER_01

That is the law of God. I'm trying to make this whole Bible in one parable, so be with me, okay? The law of God is you are going to cross. Not you may, you will, you could. You know, you're going to. If you're struggling through something, you are going to overcome it. If you're going through a limitation, there's no way you're staying down. You're my son. God is telling you very clearly, you're my son. Don't even think you're going to stay here. This this hole is not for you. You're going. This is somebody shout, this is the law of God. This is the law of my life. Come on, shout it like you believe it. This is the law of my life. And what is the law? God is telling you that you are going to go to the other side. Oh, that's so prophetic to you. You are going to the other side. This is the law of God. And because of that law of God, you launch out. But as they sailed and he fell asleep, like he normally does. It's funny, the Bible says he never slumbers nor sleeps. And here you see Jesus taking a deep, deep sleep. He's sleeping. But the question is, is he sleeping? Is he really sleeping? That's why I'm telling you, your enemies can never succeed against you. There's somebody always awake in you. Let them plot evil. They'll never succeed. While you were sleeping, you were never sleeping. Even your environment, when you enter a room, you physically may not know, but your spirit man knows everything in the room. And we are going to give you get some great information today on how to tap into it. As they sailed and fell asleep, a windstorm came down on the lake. Everybody say a windstorm came down. These are the storms that are going to come on you. The windstorm is something that has to come on you to raise you to the next level. I never said it's coming to drown you, it's coming to raise you. Because remember, the the what was the law of the Lord? You're crossing. I wanted to keep the law. The law is you are crossing, my son. So the wind storm may come, but it's only going to come to elevate you. In fact, the storm will come to send your boat faster. You know, you need wind in your sail. That's how God looks at Satan when he attacks the Son of God. He says going to propel him in the right direction. But how we interpret it is, oh my God, I'm gone. I'm dust. My end, it's gone. You don't know from the time calamity hit you, how much you have grown. From the time calamity hit you, how much you've grown, you don't know. So I want you to know every windstorm that comes, may it light up your sail and take you further with Jesus in the boat asleep. Are you with me? So he sailed and he fell asleep, and a windstorm came. Mark windstorm. Okay. And they were filling with water and they were in jeopardy. And they came to him and awoke him saying, Master, Master, we are perishing. We are perishing. Underline, we are perishing. This is the law of your members. We are emotions. Impulses. Habits. Fears. We are never going to get up out of this one. Jesus is sleeping. The whole boat is already gone down. And there's no sign of Jesus. He's having a good nap. That's the law of your members. What is your members? Your law of your members are stimulus. Things that you do without even you don't even think. There's no thought. It is so part of you that if somebody touches you in that area, you'll just react without even thinking. It's just a re it's a reaction without even thought. Deep ingrained habits. And if somebody touches you in a way, you will react. If you see water in the boat, we are dying. You can never see water in the boat. This is the greatest miracle we are gonna have. The first fully filled boat that goes across the other side. You will never be able to see it. Why? There's some deep habits, it's the law of your members. Master Master. That's famous. What is Master Master? Run to Jesus. Law of your mind, right? Master Master is the law of your mind, the law of your mind. Is always wanting to Jesus to help you. Your mind is always I love Jesus. Yes or no? The law of your mind. How many of you want to do good? Be honest. You and you never do good. You know you want you have to do this, yet you you don't do it. You know you should not do this, yet you. The law of your you know, you know, you know you you know you have to go and pray, yet you don't you know you have to not click that website, you know, yet it gets clicked. Law of the members without thinking it clicks after one hour you realize oh lord what did I do? I just made a promise and did it. How many laws we got so far? Law of God, law of mine, law of members. And this is the last one I loved. Then he arose, rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a great calm. Law of the spirit. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? Law of faith. Remember the spirit and faith are one. Whenever you're by faith, you are in the spirit. Whenever you're in fear, you are you are in the flesh. That means you are walking by your members. You know what's your members, right? Hands, all these got memory, they are laws. They all have pre-programmed memories which you have given them. They're all members, including your lovely brain, eyes, nose, hands, feet, tongue, all members, very powerful members there, and they work without you even telling them. Because the they have worked over so many years. Your brain and your members have got so deeply wired that all you have to do is touch your ear and you're going to react in a certain way. It is so predictable, it's so repeatable that even AI is built studying you. Do you don't ever think AI came out of it? Nothing has come out of thin air. Everything has come out after studying the human mind. There are repeatable and there is transactions that are happening in you. It's called automation. It's happening in you. There are certain things that run automatically in you. The prefrontal cortex of your brain, which is responsible for decision making, doesn't even have to think. It's the last thing that is consulted. The first thing is stimulus reaction. Yeah, muscle memory for him because he's playing guitar. You close his eyes, he'll still play the guitar. It's all in his fingers. There's muscle memory in every member. After some time, you can close your eyes, play the guitar, and you'll never need a fretboard. Because the muscles have memorized where to go. And it's called memory. But it's all hooked up to Mr. Brain. But it happens in milliseconds, you won't even know. The last guy who comes to know, last is your prefrontal cortex. And by the time he comes to know, you've already done it. So remember the law of member is very strong. That's why habits are a force. Whenever you have a habit that you realize you can't control, you should get up and start fasting and praying. Because it's going to become a force in your life that you will realize is dragging you in the other direction. Just keep that right now in your head. Don't worry, I know you're worrying where all this is going, it'll come. So when you have bad habits, say you're going on eating my favorite banana chips. Keeping it, eating it every day. More than three days, no, a new pathway in your brain is being written. Do you know there is pathways in your brain? And when you keep repeating it, those are becoming firmer, they are becoming established. That means the brain is saying, This is an automation I need to take over. Are you getting it? Because the brain is a master of automation. When it sees you doing certain things, it realizes this guy gets up in the morning. First thing he touches his phone, the next thing he reads this, the next thing he does. He doesn't read his Bible. Automate this because we've seen him doing it for very long. Now you realize you get up because the brain has already sent automation. Now you understand how smart God made you. Because God knew that is children. I said you will win. I never said you'll become products of the internet. You'll win. Because God gave us something else. Did you get the foe? Law of. Then law of members, then law of mind. Law of the spirit. Law of faith. They are both one and the same. And then these guys get up and say, Who is this guy? Somebody say, Who is this guy? Who commands even the winds, water, and they obey him. Turn to your neighbor and say, Who is this guy? Please do it honestly. Who is this guy? Now tell your neighbor to turn and point to you and say it's you! It's you! You are that guy! You are that guy who commands the winds and the waves. I want you to see this as Jesus who is nothing but who is nothing but the Spirit man. This Jesus is nothing but the. Did you all understand this so far? Okay, now I'm going to take you to Romans chapter 7. Don't worry, you'll you'll realize how it will help you later. Because I'm telling you the truth. This Christian life is not, I'm not saying it is not about this, but I can guarantee you it. If you're thinking your discipline is going to or your great will is going to change you, you can forget it. You give up now only, it'll never, it'll never happen. There's something why I made you see all this, you'll understand now. Now I want you to read Romans chapter 7, verse 22. And I want you to pick up all those laws I showed you over there. Now you're going to see it here. And this is Paul. This is who? Paul. This is Paul in his greatest, he's being very vulnerable. This is Paul, the great apostle who went to the third heavens. This is Paul who had Jesus come and blind him and then open his eyes. This is Paul who wrote three-thirds three-fourths of your Bible. This is the same Paul who's now realizing even I have a problem. And it's a huge one.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So please understand, you're not going through something foreign. Even he went through it. Through all his great visitations and all his encounters, he finally, he finally realized I have the same problem. Problem. And he's being vulnerable, but in a very kingly fashion. You get it? He's not like, oh, I'm broke. I'll show it to you. And trust me, I sat in the night and I mapped this to neuroscience and it perfectly matches. It perfectly matches.

SPEAKER_00

Read. We can read. Yes. Romans 7 22. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. Verse 23, but I see another law in my members.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody say, but I see.

SPEAKER_00

Say, but I. But I see. Okay. Okay. Another law in my members. Warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into very slow, okay? For I delight in the law of God. Everybody? Okay. According to the inward man. According to whom? Okay. But I see another. This is the inward man. Jesus in the boat. That's the inward man. Next. But I see another law in my members.

SPEAKER_01

Ah, I see another law.

SPEAKER_00

So there's a law of members.

SPEAKER_01

Did you get it? The first one you saw?

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Law of God.

SPEAKER_00

Second one you're seeing law of? Members. Okay, go on. Warring against the law of my mind. Ah, third one. Law of my mind. Mind, okay. And bringing me into captivity to the law of sin.

SPEAKER_01

Bringing me into captivity. That means it's bringing me into captivity to the law of sin. There's a law of sin also. Anything that's not of faith is law of sin. Okay? Next. Which is in my members. Where is it?

SPEAKER_00

It's my members.

SPEAKER_01

In your members. Law of sin is nowhere else but in your members.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, go on. Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death.

SPEAKER_01

Is there anybody who's saying this in your heart? Oh wretched man, when you sit down and live life for Jesus, I've is there anybody who says this line? Oh wretched man that I am, who will deliver? So don't be ashamed of it because there's a beautiful way out. There's no more beautiful way than this. This is the way. And I'm telling you, if you don't understand today's word, this is where your continual struggle is going to be. Because there is a super way God made it. And he's saying, Who will deliver me? Oh, wretched man that I am. He's not saying, Oh, wretched man that you are. So when you're reading that, he Paul is saying, Anyone here who is greater than Paul? Even the demon said, Paul, I know. So Paul had a standard. He's not just saying this to make you feel like you're wretched. If this guy is saying I'm wretched, trust me, he knows how wretched he is. Because the more you see Jesus, there's only one thing that is going to come out of your mouth. Woe unto me. It will never be woe unto him. Your man of God is a man of God because the more closer he comes to God, the more he sees the refiner at work. And the more he appreciates God. But when you come close to God, you get condemned. Change your perspective. The more you see bad in you, no God is at work in you. The more you see things that you don't see, no God is bringing you closer to Him. If you're not seeing anything, brother, I'm scared. Because when you come close to God, Isaiah said, Woe. Do you know read Isaiah? He was shouting and condemning everybody till God opened his eyes. The minute God opened his eyes, he said, Woe unto me. For I am a man of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen, don't go there. My eyes have seen the glory of God. You're talking about Isaiah, the prophet. He was shouting at everybody until God said, Okay, this is me. And now he doesn't know where himself he doesn't know where to run. And now he says, Lord, take the coal, cleanse my lips. Here I am. That's the only response you're gonna get. No matter how great thou art, when you stand before Jesus, there's only one place you land near his feet. So don't be afraid when you see the worst coming out in you. God is bringing you closer. Ah, I wish you should celebrate that. Amen. You see, the devil has a way of making you feel dirty. And God has a way of making everything which is hidden deep to come up. And he's doing it because he's a refiner.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. Refiner's fire. But when the refiner turns the fire on, you don't like it or start liking it. Say, God, thank you for showing something in my life that was hiding. Because I'm coming close to you in worship, in truth, worship team always remember, you will be targeted the most. And Satan will try to break you and tell you, How dare you stand and worship God? But remember, the more you come to God, the refiner is at work. So when you see things inside of you, which you also say, God, how can you use a wretched man like me? No, Paul is there next to you. And he's going to give us a way out. Man. Thanks be to God.

SPEAKER_00

Jesus. So, oh wretched man, you can read. Oh, wretched man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God.

SPEAKER_01

Everybody say, I thank God.

SPEAKER_00

True. Jesus Christ, our Lord.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Come on, say somebody, thank God. True.

SPEAKER_00

Jesus.

SPEAKER_01

Listen, Christ. He's telling you all this. Do you know what he's telling you? He's telling you laws. Sweetheart. He's not telling you pudding and cake and uh you know political parties. He's not telling you henchmen or strong men or rich or very powerful men are coming for you or Satan. He's telling you boss laws. You know what is a law? A law is on your best day, you are going to fail. He's telling you you're up against laws. You know what's the law of gravity? You jump, you fall.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You jump however high you are, you're gonna be pulled down. But he's introducing you to a man named Jesus who defies all laws. Amen. Who breaks every law and he's introducing you to a law which can break four other laws. Remember this. This is the key of victory today for your life. If you it's today, we are from today, we're only gonna laugh. Miller is very good at laughing. I will bring him up and he will demo for us. That's going to be your laughing style. When the devil sinks your boat with water, you'll start laughing. When he he makes all your debt stand in front of you, you'll start laughing. Because soon or very soon, after understanding it, the spirit in you is going to get up and stop those raging seas. Amen. And people will turn to you and say, What kind of man are you? Not Jesus, you. Amen. That the raging sea stops with you.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

So I want you to see. Paul is very clear. You're not fighting flesh and blood, my dear. You're fighting laws. Laws that cannot be broken. Laws that God established. So you cannot fight it and win. But here's the good part. If there's a law of gravity which God made, God made the law of trust. An aerodynamics. That even though gravity pulls you down, if it if you put the law of trust, it will push you up and you'll enjoy a ride in a plane. It's one law against another. So God in his wisdom knew these are laws, you're never going to make it. So I'll give you another law. And this law is the spirit of Jesus Christ. The Bible says if you look in Romans chapter 1, 2, there is now no condemnation for those who in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Has gonna set you and me free from all the laws that are pulling you down. Amen. I told you this word is connected with last time. You're gonna be that bird that flies in the precious blood of Jesus, and you are born to fly. Amen. Nothing, no henchmen of the devil, no wickedness, no witchcraft, no sorcery, nothing, no laws in heaven or earth can fight the law of the spirit. Amen. And that law God is given. You can read it and read it loudly.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Can you read from verse 25? 1, 2, 3. Can we all read it?

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, go on.

SPEAKER_00

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin. Go on. Therefore, there is therefore no condemnation.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, listen, he's telling you all this in seven. This is me. I am wretched. I am horrible. I see this in me. I see a law in my members that's pulling me down the grave. That I want to do something good, yet I don't have the power to do it. Yet what I don't do, that I practice. Have you not seen that in your life? You don't want to do it, yet you end up doing it. You want to serve God, yet you never do it. He's telling you this. I have, he's saying, even I have gone through. But he's saying there is one introduction which I have to introduce you to, chapter 8.

That all this happens, yes, it all happens, but there is therefore there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.

SPEAKER_01

For the law of come on, loudly, you need to really read this. Guys, this is our inheritance.

SPEAKER_00

One, two, three. For the for the law of spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

SPEAKER_01

Amen.

SPEAKER_00

Amen.

SPEAKER_01

It's setting you free today.

SPEAKER_00

Amen.

SPEAKER_01

The law of Jesus Christ is setting you free. I tell you from today, sit down. We won't go ahead, we'll just stay with this. Because there's a lot to cover. I'm telling you from today, I'm not promising you no problems. In fact, you'll have boats with a lot of water in it. But I can guarantee you, if you do this one thing, and we'll take some practical examples, even if you have, you can share of how we can get victory. I want you throughout this sermon to remember that example of Jesus in the boat. It's corresponding to those laws there, right? That's how God showed it to me. He took an example and he said the law of God. What God said, you are going to cross over. But then what came? A storm. What is a storm? Stimulus. Have you not gone through it? Somebody picks up the phone and says something rotten about you. Somebody comes and puts you down. Somebody lies about you. You do something. You get tempted, you fall, you break, you do something. That's called what? That's called a stimulus. What is the stimulus in that in that example? Storm. A storm. It comes. And when the storm comes, what does happen? When the stimulus comes, what happens? React immediately. What is the reaction immediately? Jesus, you don't care. You're sleeping. Other versions. You don't care for us. You're not sleeping over here. All of us are there drowning and you are sleeping. But remember, the law of God is in your head. It's in your head. How many of you know after you got born again, you're not thinking evil. You want to do good for God. Yes or no? That is your mind. Say mind set on the spirit. The mind set on the spirit is life. The mindset on the flesh is death. The mindset. Mindset. So remember the mind, the law of the mind is determined on what it is set on. You know what I found really amazing is in this story. How many of you have gone through a story where you're in a boat? You feel like you're on a boat and there's a storm raging. You're not even enjoying life. And the worst thing is you know about Jesus. You know he's a wonderworking God. You know he can do this. You know this God can do it, and yet he's doing nothing. And here you're in the boat throwing water out, owing, and the boat is banging this side, it's a hurricane storm, and you're all with your little oars. Can I give you something? When I was thinking about this, I realized because God showed me that your response in a storm is always, always the condition, it will reveal the condition of what your mind has been stayed on. Your response in a storm is always going to show you whether the mind is set on the things of the spirit or it's set on the things of the. If it's on the flesh, oh my god, you're going to get thoughts of anger, bitterness, revenge, hate, jealousy, you name it, you're gonna get everything. So your reaction in a storm always, when you're reacting, always remember, just pause and think, what was I doing the last three days? And you'll realize why you're saying the things you're saying. Why in a storm you're believing that you'll die? Why you're believing that this problem will never end? Why you're believing that this addiction will never cease? Why you're believing that God, I cannot come through this, I will not. It's because your mind has been set on something else rather than the word of God. So the reaction that comes out real time is actually where you've set your mind on. Is it making sense?

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Because I was I was thinking about this, these four laws. Okay, let's can we go one by one? I explain it to you. Okay. So even Paul is saying, I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind. So I want to explain to you these four laws. I've already explained to you what you're dealing with as a Christian. You're not fighting flesh and blood only, you're not fighting Satan, you're fighting Satan who knows these laws. So he's he's bad enough by himself. Now imagine he knows laws governing your brain and you don't know about it. Imagine he knows laws that are fighting you, and you don't know how to even navigate it. Who you think is going to win? He'll always win. He just knows what to press and he knows what you're gonna do. That's exactly what Instagram, Facebook, and all have done. They've studied your brain and they've created a product on the way the brain works, so you cannot beat it if you don't understand it. I want to tell you how many of y'all are using Instagram here? You're using Facebook, you're using these are dangerous tools. Dangerous. Jonathan, Jeremiah, dangerous. I pray in Freedom Hangout we'll get a chance to bring this, you know, to light. Because the subtlety at which they throw things to you, you can't even believe what they are doing. You can't believe. Do you know they are evaluating millisecond where you stopped? Millisecond, they even if you just pretend. You know, sometimes I go on my thing and I suddenly see a bad image, and I've already gone past it. I don't look, but they saw that small because you got stunned, right? They are even looking at that, and what they'll do is they will throw something more to see if you stop again, and you don't know this is happening, and you don't know how they are setting you up because they've got a program, they know how the brain runs, they know the brain loves to automate. So, your brain, have you not realized you do certain tasks? Ask a mother. She gets up in the morning, she starts doing something. I know mothers, I watch them, and then I sit down and I can tell you they'll get up and they'll do this. Why? The brain loves to work with efficiency. So, what does efficiency dictate? Automate stuff that he is doing so it doesn't have to take up RAM space. So you have to be very careful of when you get a habit, you are telling the brain this is what I like, and the brain is going to automate it. Now you go to the website, it's already clicked before you even thought it's AI. They have tapped into that part of you. So I'm telling you, these are demonic things. Now, a demon has definitely made it. But remember, we are children of the light, we have to see it in the other direction. We have to not blame technology, we have to be so smart that we enter into technology and know when to exit. That means we use it and we throw it. Get used to throwing your phone. Not your father's phone, your phone. You have to dis treat your phone like it's nothing, not God. The more you reverence your phone and wipe it and clean it and watch it and be impressed by the apps, they'll your mind will be on the on the flesh. And the flesh produces death, the spirit produces life and peace. Mindset. Remember, the it's continually checking. So let's go to the first one: the law of God. The first part where he says, But I see another law, for I delight, verse 22, for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. Anyone has any questions on this? What is he referring to? If you don't understand these laws, you will not understand what you're fighting. And then we'll come to the exciting part about the law of the spirit of life. I was so excited. That means we are guaranteed victory. And I'll prove it to you why we are failing. It's so simple yet, it's so hard. You don't see it. I challenge you. Any situation you're thrown in, if you follow this, you'll come back with a shameless testimony of how you won. And you there's no sweat to it. It's not like God is saying, No, you have to follow a perfect life to enter the law of the spirit. No, it's given to sons. This is the beauty, and Satan never wants you because he wants you to earn it, and there's no earning it, it's free. God gives it to his children because God knew you're fighting laws, you'll never succeed. That's why I started off by saying what the Christian life can never be lived, it's impossible. And God designed it that way. Because if he didn't, it would have become another religion. So rumo the law of the spirit of life, and this is what your Bible will become. You will be doing everything and expecting God to function because of your effort. When it is exactly the opposite, there is zero effort required in the kingdom. Please let me say it again. Zero. Z ro. In fact, God is so categorical about it. He is very sure if you use your effort, you fail. He's so sure. Is there anybody here who has passed? Please come take the mic and teach us how you passed. And I see it like this. Knowing God how he is. If my father wanted his son to succeed, trust me. If my father wanted him to see his son succeed, he'll provide for it. You didn't get it. I said if a father wants to see his son succeed, he provides the power for him to succeed. He'll never tell his son to succeed and then watch his son get hit by four laws, laws, laws, not people laws, that means they never change. That means if God wants us to succeed, he says, Son, I give you a fifth law that breaks every other law. The law of the spirit of life. So if we are not living by the law of the spirit of life, you can expect failure every time. Because who can jump out and defy gravity? You're going to fall. There's no way. So this is not optional. This is not for pastors, this is not for prophets, this is not for apostles, it is for low joblo Christian. So the first one, the law of God. He says, For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. Who is the inward man? 2 Corinthians 5 17. When you were born again, you were given a so he's saying, For I delight in the law of the God according to the inward man. That means, how many of you you're all born again? Don't you delight in pleasing God? Isn't that not your desire? Do you know when you came to God, the thoughts that you have now, just map them 10 years ago when you were not in the Lord and see, it'll be Zameen Asman. Before all you were a selfish person. It was me, myself, and Irene. I want my way. I you always see your life, you're always grabbing. You're always saying, What about you? Can't even if there's a something small, you will don't mind. It's like that virat rain. No, somebody falls, they're all horses jumping over him. So there are those moments where a spirit man in you will get up and say it, and the storm will end. You don't have to continue with any storm in your life after today. You have broken shoes, new shoes will come. You have wrong house, rented house, ownership will come. Listen, please, this has nothing to do with your bank balance. Ask Jesus. He had nothing to do. Do you think Jesus was dependent on Mr. Judas's money box? Do you know when he had to pay taxes? He never told Judas to pay it. He said, Go and catch one fish. Why are you depending on your box so much? Spirit in you is enough. Is enough. Even if you have baida, I'm telling you, zero in your bank. What God has put in your spirit will bring money in your house. But the way it works is when you understand it, that spirit man will come up and say a word, which even you will be shocked. Your frontal cortex will be processing and saying, From where did that word come out? All you have to do is say, Shut up. This is the word of the Lord. Agree with the law of the Lord that you spoke, and it will happen. Because I'm here to tell you, you are going to cross the other side. There is no other way. You are going to. This is your father's will that everyone crosses every Jericho, every Egypt. You are coming out and crossing over. That's God's will for your life. So the first is the law of God, the highest standard. It's the you can't beat the law of God, it's his word. The law of God is you saw it in the just keep that example always before you, okay? Remember, we are going to go across the that means Jesus already told them. The word was already given in advance. You didn't have to fear all this. You could have slept with Jesus, but you chose because of some other laws to get worried in the boat, get anxiety and everything. We are moving to the other side. It's all going to go good. Tell your neighbor, it's all going to go well. This is not like the three idiots assuring each other all is well. It's not like that. This is not all is well. We know it is well. It's not that I'm hoping. Hoping is not faith. But it starts with hope. But faith is very different. Faith is, I know. I'm not hoping. I know that this debt will never run my life. That this sickness is not the end of my ministry. That this verdict from the doctor is not the final word. There is a spirit in me that God has put that has a great plan for my life. And that plan is to prosper me and give. You search the entire Bible. Every time there was a problem, the spirit man came and spoke a word which was against all laws. Is it law against the law to walk on water? You try. What will happen? You'll drown. Yeah, Jesus coming like there's nothing. And then one great guy says, Can I also walk?

unknown

Come.

SPEAKER_01

And both start walking. Can you imagine? There is no law. Everything in the Bible that is written, the spirit of law breaks all the laws. The laws that God has created for earth are not for sons. They're not for sons. I'm telling you, you search your Bible, it's not for sons. Thorns and thistles are not for sons. Thorns and thistles are not for sons. Sweat from your brow is not from a son from God. Sweatless victory is us. That means even on the cross, well, everybody thinks you're dying, you're losing. Hey, brother, three days and I'll see you back again. Three days and the tomb will be rope. You're thinking this is my death. It's a spirit man that is allowing you to see something for a greater victory that's going to appear. Whenever something dies of me, something new is going to be worth it. Whenever you find that something you have lost, I'm not talking pain, huh? That where you have allowed to die, there's a birth. Anything you allow to die in your life, there's a birth, there's a resurrection. Everything you look in every scripture, you will see prison doors open by themselves. Yes or no? Jesus feeds five thousand. Is it supposed to be done that way? You're supposed to what? Go to the market, get the fish, get the bread, cook it, bake it. And what Jesus does takes five loaves and multiplies it. Is this normal? Why? He's God, and you have to sit and bake bread. No, you will see strange miracles. When all the food is short, your house won't run short. You will see strange miracles. When everybody is crying, you will not have only for yourself, you will have God is raising your you up with this word. Number two, law of the mind. Now I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind. In your members, in your members, in your tongue, in your eyes, in your ears, in your hands. They are warring where the law of your mind. Why? Because when God put your spirit, a new spirit in. Do you know the old law was written on tablets? Do you remember? It was written on stone. But when the new law came, God wrote it on your heart. It's not on stone now. It's a big difference. When it is on stone, you're designed to fail. When it is on your heart, you're programmed to succeed. It's the hardware that God changed. The hardware has been changed. It's not the law. God made the Ten Commandments, so everybody fails. So they come for a hardware reset. You have to come with your broken laptop and say it ain't working. And he's like, Come, come, I did it specifically for you to show you it will never work. Then you come to him, he writes all. That's why you wake up and you hate what you did last night. Because the program has been changed. Before you enjoyed what you did evil, now you don't. Now you regret it. Now you get upset. Now you get condemned. But now he's telling you, don't get condemned. I rewrote everything so you don't enjoy it. You see, your friends they'll enjoy in killing, stealing, gossiping, complaining, backbiting. You can't. And if you do it, you get attacked the most. Why? They can do it for hours, not you. They can do backbiting, gossiping, slandering, but you do it once and see what happens to you. The rest of your life will be carrying it. Why? There's a program. Your mind is now rewritten. God has rewritten your heart. Everything starts from the heart. So that means you will never. I can never go back to enjoy smoking. My heart was changed. It was a new one. You got that? The law of my mind. I see another law where. So please tell all your members. The fight is in your members. It's in your that means your eyes. Be careful, little eyes, what you see. All these things, they're your members. And where is the fight? Satan has bought it straight into your members. So the fight is in your because remember it all started in the Garden of Eden. What did where did how did Even Eve get tested? She didn't she she saw it was good. She touched it. And she's then what she did, she all in the flesh part. And that's why now you have sin in your members. That's why you sin. What does the Bible say? Sin is death, right? Not the law. There's a scripture, right? Romans 3.23. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal. I think Romans 6.23. So remember this, he's telling you, law number two, it's in your members and it's warring against your mind, bringing you into captivity of the law of sin. What is the law of sin? The law of sin is the law of death. So the more sin, the more you are dying. The more sin, the more you die. And then he's telling you, and remember, he's saying which is of sin, but it's not anywhere else, it's in your members. Please be very, very careful when you see your members participating in certain bad habits. More than three times, four times, if you're doing it, don't pretend like it's not becoming a habit. Remember, your brain loves automation. The more you do something, the more you get up every morning and touch the phone, the brain is understanding it that this is the pattern of his life. The more you get up late every day and have no structure in your life, the brain says, Don't wake him up, this is the way he is. And then you wonder people fighting Jericho. You have created Jericho. The Jericho you've created is become a force and it's in your members. You are a spirit man, you are in control. You cannot allow it to capture your heart. If you're sitting every day and watching one thing, problem, except revive nations, you're all out. That's good habit. The word of God, worship, coming to church, great habit. Never miss Sunday church. Never. Just make it never. Like these things you can never touch. It's like you know, you can touch anything, but not my Sunday. It has to be like that. You have to become so passionate about the things of God that these become no-no. That means if they say here's my resignation, and they look at you and what? I have so much faith that my God can open another door. I'm not telling you to do it, I'm just telling you this is how you have to live. And it will not happen if your mind is set on everything else, it has to be set on the spiritual things. Are you with me? The third one, I already explained the law of members. Okay, let me just say a little about your members since you don't know. Everybody say body level impulses, habits, reactions, emotional triggers. This is where your temptation will become a force. So emotional triggers. Have you gone through emotional triggers? Somebody has to just tell you. Like, I know a certain person, certain couple, the husband just says, Are there less food, the food is little not tasting right. Immediately triggers something in the woman's brain. You don't like my cooking. Are I never said anything about your cooking, I only said that this oh your mother cooks better. It's because you have you're so delicate in that area. And the minute you say something, you you explode. So there are certain things that you have to figure out, those are deep ingrained neural pathways in your brain. This is the law of your members. Please understand you have a brain, and there's a way it functions. You are not a bad boy, you're not a bad girl. It's just that these certain things you have never dealt with as a child, you have let it go. Sibling rivalry. Why is it somebody just gets up? No, I will not do it this way. It's why you saying it like that. It's not because you are a bad man, it's because you find you you look at that as a respect issue, but nobody is disrespecting you. We are just trying to put some point, but you get upset about it. It's because as a child, something happened to you. You have to go down that lane and say, Why do I react like this when somebody is trying to help me? Why do I look at it like I don't need help? I'll do it on my own. I was talking to somebody um yesterday and I was telling him, I know your condition. I said, There's no way you're going to be able to do this. You know what he turned around and told me? You don't know me. I'll give up everything and I'll come and I'll show you it can be done. And I just looked at him and I said, Listen, you're penny wise, pound foolish. The decisions you have made in life are exactly because of this, what you said. You go to prove a point to save a dime and let a billion dollars go out of the door because of your pride. But why did he say it? Because he doesn't want to say that I cannot do it. I will do it at the cost of putting my whole family in a mess. I will do it to prove a point to you. Can you see the level of craziness that is inside our minds and has been ingrained? That means we are ready to do something so drastic. Put my whole family. I'm not telling you what it is, but I'm just telling you that what he was going to do is going to put his whole family at risk. But to prove a point, I will do all that to show you I can do it. And he's thinking it's a great thing, it's a foolish thing. You'll put everyone at risk just to show you're a man. You're not a man, you're a selfish, egoistic person. That's what you are. So please find out these level the law in your members. There are many laws. Why you suddenly get up in the night and eat from the fridge? Why when you're stressed, you suddenly start fiddling with the phone? Why is it that when you're a meeting is going on or something is going on, you never show up on time. Why is it you join a call and never put on your camera? No, there is something deep inside. Because there's something inside of you is saying that don't do it, others are doing it. But this is not about others, it's about you growing. There's something about I want support him. Let's see how he can do it. Because I didn't get the support. Let's see how he does it. Why should I help? There's something inside of you. If I help him and he succeeds, he gets all the praise. These are all hidden things. That's why I told you, as you come close to God, thank God it's coming out. Because God loves you, He's bringing you closer. Very fact he's bringing you closer, things are erupting in your life. So don't get upset, go closer to him, he'll deal with all. Are you enjoying it? The next one is the law of sin. Now listen to this. Remember the law of sin? He tells you in the end, verse 25, I thank God through Christ Jesus our Lord. So then with the mind I serve the law of God, but with the flesh, the law of sin. So remember the flesh, your members, the carnal you is connected to whom is directly influenced by Satan. It's a law. He's always trying to enter your members through habits, through trauma, through situations, through triggers. They are basically called triggers. Over time they become into triggers, right? Through moments where you were put down, humiliated, he's always trying to enter into your members. Your members, also your brain, into a memory. He wants to put you in, lock you in a memory. You are born to fly. You will not be put down. So the law of sin. Now I want to just talk two minutes on this. The law of sin, listen to me now. It's the root power behind everything. The law of sin works through all your members. The law of sin. It's a law. The law of sin and death. We're going to come to Romans chapter 8. But just remember, all these laws, there is a power that is and giving power to all of these things in your life. It's the law of sin. So the law of sin is the power which you can't see, which is driving that habit. You can't see it, but it's a law. You can't see gravity, but is it not happening? Same way you can't see it, but it's sin has power. Sin has power. And that's why Jesus came to break that power of sin. He had to come. See, when Jesus came, he had to break many laws that he knew when Adam violated it, he he pushed many laws into force. So only God knew he had to break first what? The law of himself, which he wrote on tablets, he had to write in your heart now. He knew that you'll never succeed. Then he had to look at your law of members and see, oh, the law of sin is targeting them. So I'll have to give them another law which targets, overrides all the other laws so that they can fly. The law of trust, which breaks gravity and keeps you down like a duck in every situation. So you stay, you say stay calm, but have you not seen anger rising without you knowing? You say don't go there, but your body pulls you there. You say, I don't want to see that, but you end up clicking that, right? This is not weakness. This is not this is war. Everybody says this is war. You are in a war. So why you feel out of control? Now I'm telling you the scientific part. The science confirms that before your brain reacts, your brain reacts before you think. This is the law of the members. Your brain reacts before you. Habits are wired into your system. That's why these are very dangerous tools: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, all these are very dangerous. They are wired, they have found it. How your brain works, so you can't defeat it. Emotions trigger automatic responses. By the time you decide, have you noticed? By the time you've decided, you've said the prayer you've already sinned. The impulse has already triggered the action. Why? Automation has already happened in your brain. Your brain has been watching you, getting angry every day, not repenting, getting angry, sleeping, getting angry, sleeping, getting angry, doing this. So now what the brain says, when the minute it happens, have you noticed people turn like violent? And then you wonder, how could you do it? And that guy is saying, even I didn't know how I did it. It has watched you over a period of time. Of course, Satan also is behind it, but he can't work within without a law working in you. Oh, that's powerful. Satan can't work without a law working in you because he's not God to crush your head and say, Eat off the plant. No, he has to tempt you, he has to tempt you through a law that he knows will work against you. So be quick to forgive one another. Be quick to humble yourself. Okay, I want to go to the real setting free part. So the real problem is not that you don't love God, you don't know the truth, you don't have discipline. The real problem is power. You're trying to overcome a law with willpower, with determination, with effort. And willpower can never match sin power. Never match. That's why Paul himself is crying, what? Oh, he's not saying, Oh, wretched people, he's saying wretched men because he knows he's also part of it. So, what is the turning point? The turning point, and this is what I'm so excited about, is Jesus Christ's deliverance, not self-effort. And this is what most of us try to do when we are in a problem. What do we try to do? We are trying to deliver ourselves, but this is why I said it, and I'm very convinced the Christian life is not possible to live, it's impossible because God made it so it doesn't become a religion. God made it so that the only way you can walk into storms and come back on the other side is not by effort, but by the spirit of the law of Jesus Christ. So he's saying finally, the mind I serve God, but with the flesh I serve. So this is like a divided life, right? You're living by the spirit. If you put your mind on the spirit, you can live by it. If you put by the flesh, you're in the flesh. So, what is the bridge? Everybody says the law of the spirit of life has set me free. Everybody says it's a new law on my life. This is the revelation of Christ. You don't overcome sin by trying harder, you overcome sin by living from a different source. You don't overcome sin by living, by trying to fight it. You don't overcome sin by living or trying harder or trying. Have you noticed we make great plans? I remember when I used to smoke, I used to put, I ended up with pencils in my mouth. Then I went for that sweet cigarettes, you know, I used to get those phantom ones. This is not self-effort. God is saying, Listen, I got another law and it's powerful. So you don't live by trying harder, you live and overcome sin from a different source. It has to be that way, otherwise, you're going to perpetually pray and see no results. So, what is the practical application you want to know, right? When temptation comes, first thing recognize the impulse, recognize the trigger, recognize where the trigger, because the trigger is not most of our time you're blaming Satan, right? It's not Satan, you have not dealt with this issue in your past. So it's a formed neural pathway. And the brain has said, when they touch you on this topic, if you just touch somebody on their cooking and mother-in-law touches, and what will happen? Daughter-in-law will scream. Or you touch a man on certain things, he starts screaming, Oh, you don't respect me. Don't make it a respect issue. Just see if what they are saying is right. How many men you've seen fight? She doesn't respect me, she doesn't honor me. Are Baba when we heard what they are saying, I say, Are she saying perfect? But it's become a respect issue to you. Why? Because as a child, nobody respected you, nobody honored you. So now when you have a woman telling you something, you think it's disrespectful. It's not disrespectful, she's a blessing to you. Neural pathways, trigger. Understand your trigger and deal with it today. Whom the sun sets free, it's free today. Now, when you understand the impulse, that means you know they've touched us. It's not going to go off in one day. There's a rewiring that has to take place. So if you don't understand these things, you'll be going on fighting spirit. And you say the devil made me devil. Once the devil wires you, do you know he's on the Havana beach with a sitting? He's not touching you. He knows this fellow is a failure now. Because how what I did, I wired him. Now it's in his members. He's going to never break out of this. Jericho is created. He'll be round and round and round and round. It's the wiring breaks through the renewing of your mind. But do you know the fact your brain, your brain continuously gets molded. Even today, even now, at 1890, the scientists have found that your brain, there is something known as neuroplasticity. That every time you begin to meditate on the right things, new pathways are created. The brain starts reforming, re-engineering, and rewiring. That's why today I don't have any urge to pick a cigarette. Because those pathways have been cut. And a new pathway was created by the spirit of life. Child of God, if you don't understand these building blocks, you will fail miserably. And you'll be shouting, Hosanna, Hosanna, these are laws you're fighting, you can't break it. So when Satan wires you through a trauma and then keeps you bound, makes you the victim, throughout your life, you're wondering why always bad things are attracted to me? Why is it attracting to me? Why are all these coming? Because somewhere when you were young, somebody took advantage of you. Somewhere when you were young, somebody did something to you. That's why today you have given up on certain things. You say all men are like that. No, brother, all men are not like that. Is it making sense? So first recognize the say, don't look there. Say recognize the impulse. Pause. And now this is what I'm telling you. Immediately turn toward God and yield. Yield. Don't fight. Just say, God, I'm turning to my power source. And look what happens. Immediately the Spirit of God will start giving you a new idea what to do in that situation. It all happens in milliseconds, huh? Milliseconds. The problem is the minute the trigger happens, we react. But if you just take a pause, just take a pause when you're being criticized, you're being pushed now, just take a pause and say, Lord Jesus, the spirit of life. I connect to the source. Immediately you will get a complete different word from your spirit to your brain. And now your pre-confrontal cortex won't even be able to get it because it'll come out out of your mouth. And your brain will then process what came out of your mouth before it went out of your mouth. I don't know if you're getting it. So there are times you notice you have just said something and you've never understood what you said, and yet that very word you said happened. That's when your spirit man got up and said, Trains are canceled for you. That's when your spirit man got up and said, I will have the day shift and it became day for life. That's when your spirit man came and said, I will add I was not born with it. You got out and said a declaration that shook even you and you said, I was not born for it. And before you know, within one week the whole addiction is gone. Don't yield to the triggers. Remember, Satan is fighting you through your own laws. He's using the laws that he knows are fighting you, and he's he's destroying people. So the problem is not you, you don't have to. Let me say it again. It's not the problem, is not that you're trying to live for God, the problem is you're trying to live the life of God without God's power. And this has been all our problem. We are trying to get results from God, and God is said, I kept power for you. But you're trying to do it with your power, and it'll never work because there are four laws fighting you. Do you know this Bible? There's no way you can keep it on your best day. But there's something that can transcend this whole Bible. There's a spirit. The law of the spirit of life of Jesus Christ sets you free. That means when you tap into the spirit, you will find yourself keeping the whole law. Without you ever having to ever worry, is it written? Where is it written? You'll end up keeping everything because remember, the spirit of the law, spirit of Jesus Christ is the spirit of the Father. He is God. I want to say so much. But I'll give one example. How many of you remember in Chronicles, David? It's also in Samuel, I think, but David has to go and fight against certain people. And he's going on asking God, Will you give me victory? And the first time God says, Go. And he fights and he wins. And the next time they gather and they come back again. He said, God, should I go? And God says, No, this time don't go this side. This time go around. Go near the mulberry trees. And when you hear the sound of horses and chariots in the mulberry tree, then attack. This is the law of the spirit of life. God will give you wisdom how to tackle strategies, how to tackle different things in your life. It doesn't work the same way. Every problem you have, this law of the spirit of life has power to give us victory. Do you know? You found that where it is? Just read it for them.

SPEAKER_00

Others they may not know it's there. It's in 2 Samuel chapter 5, verse 22. Then the Philistine went up once again and deployed themselves in the valley of Rephim. Verse 23. Therefore David inquired of the Lord, and he said, You shall not go up, circle around behind them and come up, come up to them in front of the mulberry trees. And it shall be when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly.

SPEAKER_01

Please tell me, is this normal? In the mulberry tree, you will hear marching. Go and tell that to your counselor. He said, Come, we need to put you on medication instantly. Mulberry tree marching. He's like, brother is seeing too many visions. I'm telling you, the Spirit of God. And remember, David went to the mulberry tree and he stood. And then he heard marching. And then he fought and he won. When was the last time we asked God for such understanding? And it's all in your spirit, man, which is in you. Child of God, I can go on and on. This life gives you predictable outcomes. Predictable outcomes. Predictable. There is no loss, there is no defeat, there is nothing. If we have lost, it's because we are so fast to do. You know how much I've lost money? And every time I look back, it was because of my impatience. I felt God telling me to do it. I felt. I felt. I didn't hear. And it was on the best day of my life, not on my worst day of my life. So just too confident. And then I'm like, I oh, what did I do? Thank God. With Jesus, you never lose. That even if I lose, I know I still win. You get it? When Jesus, you know when Esther? Esther. That's why I'm telling you, please. How many of you can fast? If you can't fast, that means your members are very strong. Very strong. That means your brain will kill you. Have you noticed? If you if you're not fasted and you go on a fast, you'll get migraines. It'll be like as though you're dying. You will see biryanis floating in the air. With you sitting. You're sitting with the Bible spit will come out. Chickens will be flying. Muttins will appear. Goats will come and say, Eat me. No, no, you're laughing. That means your flesh is very strong. That means, brother, you're in a very dangerous part because the law of the members, that means you are not able to control the member. You know when Esther faced a problem. This is what it does. When Esthaph faced a problem, she tell told everybody go on a fast for three days. And in three days, remember this if she had to go before the king, it was instant death for her. She knew that. Anyone who approaches the king without an appointment dies. So remember, she's literally going to a death, and this cannot be broken. The very king who loves you, his men will kill you because it's a law. It's a so she's telling him, Do you know what you're telling me, Mordecai? You cannot go to this king. It's a law. If you go without an appointment, you die. And then she says, I'll do something, I'll fast. And she goes on a fast. In the fast, she starts getting understanding, she starts getting wisdom. Now she approaches the king with protocol. She doesn't go anywhere. Imagine most of us what we'll do when we are facing a life and death scenario, run into the king with all eyes open and say, Jesus! But when you're a spirit man, you know, brother, whatever you do, I don't need to rush. Because I'm going to meet a king who can change outcomes. That means, oh, mother is going to die today.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_01

Because I know who I am. She has to wait till I arrive. Nobody's going to die. Your children are not going to die. You are not going to die. You're going to live. You're going to flourish and you're going to grow. I cancel every negative thought. Just kill it. I'm telling you, kill it today. If anyone has put it in your brain that you shall be broke, you shall die, you're a no-good, you're nothing, just kill it. No, you have the spirit of Jesus Christ. And I'm telling you, the more you don't lean on him, you will face defeat every day. This is not something that Esther decided. She fasted, she got understanding, and now she went with protocol. Imagine what we would have done. We would have ran to the kids. Everybody's going to die. They're going to die on this date. They're going to get killed. They're going to get murdered. The children, all the Jews are going to be. Imagine if she talked like that. Start with you.

SPEAKER_00

Prophet, what are you referring to? No, no, no.

SPEAKER_01

Don't go there. But she went with what? Understanding. And when she went in, what did he do? He put his scepter out. And what did she do? Understanding. Look at what understand. She called the murderer for a dinner. How do you think she got that understanding? The spirit told her, invite him. Invite the king. And I'll put words in your mouth. And the words will turn all his treachery against himself, and he will die on that gallow. That's how God will turn our enemies and make them run before us. You don't have to fight. You fight with style. Jesus chose twelve apostles, right? And do you know when he chose them, he prayed through the whole night? Before he chose them. And do you know after praying the whole night he chose Judas? I always ask God, you prayed less or what? How come you didn't know? Did Jesus not know? Is the question. Now you have to also ask yourself that what did Judas do to qualify him to become from a disciple into an apostle? That means you can talk all bad about Judas, but brother, on that day, Judas qualified himself to be an apostle. Never forget that. Then you have to also ask your question that you can be qualified to be a man of God, yet the original qualifier cannot sustain you. You can be qualified to stand on the stage, yet the original call because when you did something for you to come there, it's not that you didn't do you did something. I have done something in my life to be standing here. You can't deny that. Even if you deny it, I don't care. But the fact is the original sacrifice you did qualified you to become what you became because God rewards you in the now. He rewards you in the now. He made people kings who he knew they would kill all the Israelites and tear their mothers' wombs with their children in. And yet he honored why there was some grace. He knew Solomon. Do you think God never knew what Solomon would do? You think he never knew it? He knew it. But Solomon did something on that day offered 10,000 sacrifices, which none no one could make. So God cannot deny the sacrifices you make. He has to honor it. But that doesn't qualify you for a sustained throne. And that's what Judas never understood. He thought the designation is his place forever, but he lost it. They had to, you look at Acts, they had to get Matthias to replace him. So don't ever think, even for us, men of God, that just because we are here, that we can stop our sacrifices to the minute you move to the flesh, just try it. Just keep your mind two days on the flesh, on the things of the world, and see what will happen to you. Even God's voice, which was so beautifully coming to you, will stop. It's not that God stopped it. Mindset on the flesh brings death. Laws. They are laws. They are laws. So don't beat yourself up. Plug into a new power source. If I can tell you this whole teaching, what it taught me, from today I'm gonna pause. Take a deep breath. Say Lord. So if you're to ask me what it taught me, it taught me surrender. It's very powerful. A reaction is what anyone can give. But allowing you to put a nail in my hand and walk away while I sit on the Lord and ask him, God, what shall we do? is 100% success. Your nail will never stay on me. Your lash will never stay on me. And that grave you built for me, I will never be in it. I will rise in three days. So I'm telling you, I beg you, do not try to live this Christian life with your will, with your great plans. All that is good. If it comes out of the secret place, it's good. But if it comes out of the flesh, just because you're condemned and you feel, oh my God, I've done so bad, and then you make some crazy statement, that crazy statement will put you in condemnation for the rest of the year. And you'll be thinking, Oh, I never did, I never did, I don't love God. God never told you to do anything of that. God said, Brother, I want you to live this life and I keep power for you. Can you thank God? That our God, if He wants you to do something, He gives you the power to do it. So if you've learnt anything today, what is it? The law sets you free from the law of so that means the law of sin which is in your members, there's only one way to get rid of it: the law of the spirit of life. Tap into it, tap into it, tap into it. Don't fight. Effort, discipline, good, all that, you can't beat the law. It's going to work. How many of you had perfect childhoods here? That means in your brain, mama and dada's bringing up is already in your brain firmly. You have to decide. If you hold on to that and not to the word of God by renewing your mind, you're gonna be a product of your mother. You're gonna be a product. I've I've counseled so many people, and their fathers have been bad, and they've told me the story, and I know it. And you know what they said? I'll never be like my father. And do you know what they do? Exactly what their father did. And this is what they say, I'll never be him, and they become him. Because you can't beat laws. There's only one way you can beat it. Take what God has given you. The one law that triumphs, the all five of them put together. It will break every cursed law in your life. When you yield and just bow and say, God, I'm yielding to your spirit. What should I do? You'll have peaceful lives and you will come back with crazy testimonies, multiplication, walking on water. You will have fish spit gold coins at you, and you will have encounters with God, just like Esther had kings in an audience, so shall you. Just as Simon had doors open in front of him, so shall you. No bondage of the enemy, no adulteration, no wickedness shall stay in your body. So remember, when you're feeling like, oh, I got to do this, I got to this, what you'll do? Take a deep breath, pause, and just say, Lord, I lean on you. I lean on you. Immediately, God will start giving you understanding how to get up out of that situation. If it's a bad habit, something God will give. But the problem is we never take that pause. We just sit in that place and do it, and we say, God save me. That doesn't how it works. God says, I've given you power. Take it, take it, tap into it. Even if you're at work and you don't know what to do, the law of the spirit of life. It'll give you understanding. I know so many testimonies where people have sat in boardrooms, not known anything, and yet given the right answer. The spirit realm is beyond anybody on this planet. You cannot understand it. Just remember mulberry bush marching. That's the realms we are open to. God will say, Go near that panwala, stand there. A coconut will fall on your head. The minute it falls, you'll get an understanding. You stand, it hits you, you look up and you say, Ah, there's my answer. It was a joke, but God has. I mean, isn't this funny? You're asking him how to win a war. What is he telling you? Go to the mulberry trees and stand there. Do you have the patience to stand when you know an army is marching? Law of the spirit. You cannot beat it. Your whole flesh will tell you, leave and fight. The Lord will say, stand and hear. So I pray God it's blessed you. Has it blessed you this word? I don't know about you, it's really taken a big load off me. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. Tell your neighbor you're blessed. People online, I don't know about you, but I pray God you've been listening and that the same goes with you. Never hear the word without giving. Make this a practice in your life. Amen. Father, we just thank you for your word. We thank you for blessing us. Thank you, Lord. You've never left us. You've given us a power greater than all powers and laws. The law of the spirit of life. From today, life in our homes, life in our bodies, life in every area. Teach us, Lord, wherever we've been broken down in our brain, in our members, victory, victory, victory, victory. Oh wretched man, who will deliver me from this body? Only through Christ Jesus, my Lord. Only, somebody say, only through Christ Jesus. The greatest victor who died in the flesh. Jesus never died in spirit, he died in the flesh. Why? Because he knew the law of members. He had to die in that, in his members, so that his members, when it died, you are free from that death. So we celebrated, Lord, in Jesus' mighty name. We love you. We love you, Dada. We thank you, Holy Spirit, for being in our midst. And we ask, Lord, for crazy testimonies from your children when they come next Sunday. In Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
