This is the word of the Lord for you this season. June to Dec is going to be season of victories. Don’t delay, hear what the Lord says to you.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you for tuning in to first view the podcast. We are committed to serve you with another word of God that will inspire you and encourage you to be a Lord Jesus. Help us reach out to many by subscribing, sharing, and leaving a review for us on your favorite listening adult. This is Sam, your host, and this is an excerpt from a recent word ministered by Pastor Derek. Let's dive in.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, yeah. I don't want anybody to miss today because the Lord doesn't want you to miss this blessing. Amen. So I want you to go to this this uh scripture where it talks about when Moses went and put a tent of meeting. Remember, he put a tent of meeting outside the camp. Everybody say outside the camp. He put it outside the camp. Amen. And the Bible says, it's an Exodus, you can find it. I think it's around 34. And it came to pass, 33 verse 8. So it was whenever Moses went out to the tabernacle that all the people rose. Say all the people rose.

unknown

All the people rose.

SPEAKER_02

And each man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tabernacle. Amen. And it came to pass when Moses, now he's entering the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, okay? I want you to see that the Bible says a pillar of cloud descended. And stood at the door of the tabernacle. And the Lord talked with Moses. And verse 10 says, All the people saw the pillow of clouds standing at the tabernacle door, and all the people rose and worshipped each man in his tent door. As a man speaks to his friend, and he would return to the camp. But his servant Joshua, the son of Nan, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle. So I want you to see this. I want you to see number one, point number one, there has to be a meeting place between you and God which is out of your regular area. It doesn't mean now you have to search for a new house. It doesn't mean that.

SPEAKER_00

As a that means if you're still connected with friends when you're praying, then you'll miss the one and only friend who is the lover of your soul.

SPEAKER_02

Because this God is not a not-speaking God. And I can tell you this when God's voice comes to your ears, He doesn't need to tell you, I'm fixing this in your life, that in your life. When you walk out of that place, what you have never asked, everything is fixed. Don't let me go anywhere. Because your presence is what separates me from everyone else.

SPEAKER_03

Somebody shout your presence.

SPEAKER_02

Listen to me. If this is not your cry, you will do exactly what these people did. You know what they did? When Moses entered the tabernacle and a cloud came, they stood and they worshiped God. Can you believe what an error? Because when you see your father in the church, that's the only time you worship God. So what do you think? When you read that, you think how holy they are. But what they were doing was they got used to a religion. That when they saw man of God to talk with God went inside the tabernacle, they stood and they worshipped. But the Bible never says about anyone except Joshua still lingering after Moses left. Do you know if our worship team was here? I would have worshiped for four hours. That's why I have to relieve them because they are very anointed.

SPEAKER_00

And you would have worshiped for four hours with me.

SPEAKER_02

And you would have been clapping and screaming because in that moment you're very motivated.

SPEAKER_00

But God is not looking for motivated people.

SPEAKER_02

So then what do you think we should be pursuing?

SPEAKER_00

Because if you pursue anything else, you will get it. If you pursue it, you'll get it.

SPEAKER_02

He knew that it was not just when the people all saw Moses go back, they also went inside. They said, Tamasha Hogya, cloud lifted. Now we can go circus over. But he knew after all this becomes silent, it starts now. The Lord is called us today as a group. I never even knew that God wanted us this message, but we are so grateful because after this message, you are going to become dangerous. Dangerous. And he understood it is not feelings, not motivation, not what I can see. It has nothing to do. Take away everything. And I'm still going to be found here. Not even near the tabernacle. He was not near the tabernacle.

SPEAKER_00

Where was he? Or Yahoshu Jothaha, Upasiti, Uskile Bhavnakahuna Zarukini, or what the darvase, he didn't go inside and said Moses is in, I'm his right hand, I'm also going in.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, no, no. He stood near the he said, If God touched this ground, the whole place is holy. Tell your neighbor that's called a price. Now tell them this is the price you have never willing to pay. Oh, God bless my business, God bless mommy, God gave me a family. What if I told you that if you treasure this, God will give you what you have never dreamed or imagined?

SPEAKER_00

You should have shouted by now.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know how many people they do degrees, etcetera, to get qualified? And you, you, you fool, fool. Fool. I'm showing you other he is a pastor is giving bad words. You fool. Beautiful. You were handpicked and put in the garden of the Lord. Handpicked.

SPEAKER_03

Yet what do we run after?

SPEAKER_02

No. After this message, you will go and pray over others. There's no more prayer karo for you.

SPEAKER_00

You will pray.

SPEAKER_02

And you'll come back with testimonies.

SPEAKER_00

Or ab gay sad vapisam.

SPEAKER_02

You'll never come back saying prayer karo. What pray karo? What pray karo? Are we going to see our spiritual fathers pay a price while we sit and pay nothing? I heard my father say, just because don't put so much pressure on your spiritual man that you say, you if you do this, then I will get blessed. No, no, no. It doesn't mean that because you are a son of your father, that blessing should come on you automatically. Doesn't mean that. There are people who come and say, We are connected to your ministry, it no problem. Why don't you come and tell me I'm connected to your ministry? That nobody comes and tells a man of God. You're putting pressure on me. No. Even if you are a spiritual son, you have to have something that qualifies you for the grace of your father to come on you. How can God just allow something to continue? No, God's grace is there on all of us. But guess what? If there's when the oil has to locate you and make you a son, it also has to find the same characteristics on your father, on you. That means if he's a praying man, if he's a fasting man, if he's seeking God, and you're a playing man, you're a praying man, you're a praying woman, you're watching Netflix, watching all the flicks. Then how do you think when that oil locates you, it will come and it will go? Because what may happen is we may fall in love. Do you know church has a rhythm? It has a rhythm. That means, especially for the people who are the sons of this house, be very careful that rhythm may come to you. Because every Sunday you know you have to do ten things. You're doing. But you have to still pursue the presence of God.

SPEAKER_00

Or Khalisia may bar. Mano her hurs, Raywarko e Josh Rataik Rhythm Ratalikin, Unsupp Chizok beachme apki kutki Zimedari Upastiti Kotalashi.

SPEAKER_02

Because it is the presence of God that gives you grace that when you lift a sofa, your back won't break.

SPEAKER_00

There is a verse.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know those Levites is to hold the Ark of the Covenant? The Ark of the Covenant is the presence of God. They used to lift it, and the Ark was not one Chota Sanduk, it was massively heavy. And they are crossing a river, Jordan. And the Bible clearly says the Lord gave them grace to lift it. It gives you grace to not do one job. You'll do multiple jobs. Multiple businesses, multiple things all at one time.

SPEAKER_00

God's grace will give you that.

SPEAKER_02

Now we are doing little and we are crying. Let's sit and talk what you're doing with your time.

SPEAKER_03

The presence of God. You got it?

SPEAKER_01

The scripture that you're referring to is 1 Chronicles 15, 26. And so it was when God helped the Levites to hold the ark of the covenant of the Lord. And they offered seven thousand seven across.

SPEAKER_02

And where were they going through which river? Going through the Jordan, right?

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Can you imagine the Lord is helping the Levites who is carrying the presence? So when you carry God's presence without you knowing, without having Chavan Prash, without having after 40 tablets, without having any Ayurveda, without having anything, you'll suddenly be able and qualified to think beyond your peers. That means even if you're in any situation, no matter how small people see, there's something on his life. Are you with me? The presence, somebody shout, the presence of God. Do you know the presence of God was so dear? And Moses knew about it so clearly that he's telling God, you know, y'all know about that uh calf, right? They made of gold and they worshipped. Moses came and broke the Ten Commandments and said, You guys all crushed it and made them drink the water. And then what happened after that? He went to God and he said, God, now you're sending. And God said, I'm going to send an angel for you, but I'm not coming with you. If I come with you in the process, while we are traveling, I'll kill all of you. And he said, Moses, but I'll make you a big nation. Why? They are stiff necked. Means these guys can never change. This is God. God is saying, these guys will never change. Why? He's saying, I looked at them and they are not going to change. Moses, let me destroy them, I'll start with you. And Moses is saying, Vareh, Sergi, please, Matkaro, you are the guy who bought them out. What will the Egyptians say? They'll say, You bought them out to kill them. Lord have mercy, Lord, don't do this. Blot me out. So God says, Okay, I have turned away. See, God is looking for an interrupter that can interrupt him. Do you think God was mad? No, God was looking what was in Moses' heart. And sometimes God tells you about your enemy, you're like, Utale, utale, utali. And God is like, this person is not mature. Because now he found out what's in your heart. You want revenge. But look at Moses. He's like, No, no, no, no, Lord, not me. Lord, your people. And then he's telling God, Remember Abraham. Remember Isaac. The minute God he bought those names, not his name, your father's name. The minute he bought, God said, I have relented. I'm not going to destroy. Just bringing up a father's name. God says, I'm not going to destroy. Just bringing up a that's how important a spiritual father is. Just bringing up their names as God said. Okay. You I know. Moses didn't say, because of what I did. Remember. Abraham. You promise them. God says, okay. But this is what he tells them after that. He says, because Moses knew. Now God is not coming with us. What God said, I'll send Swarddut with you. He will go destroy everyone. You want promised land? He'll give you promised land. You want promise? You want roti kapra makan? You want that boy? You want? Go. I'm sending what angel. He'll give you all that you want. Just go. So Moses is very smart. He sits down and he says, Lord, if your presence doesn't go, we are not going anywhere. Did you get it? That was how sharp Moses was. That was how sharp Moses was.

SPEAKER_00

Or go it now chokernata.

SPEAKER_02

That he said, listen. And he said, Listen, if your presence, say if your presence doesn't go with me, I don't want to do any ministry.

SPEAKER_00

I don't want to do any business. And what does he say? Why?

SPEAKER_02

Because he says, Moses knew there is something you can have a house, you can have a blessing, you can have children, you can have promised land, you can enjoy vineyards, wells, everything. But Moses knew without the presence of God, everything that God gives you becomes your downfall.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know we are born again so we can hear clear?

SPEAKER_02

If we are not born again, we understand. But why did God make us born again children? So that you can hear his voice clearly. Imagine if you heard God's voice. Because you'll get to do the right thing. Do you know how many people are broken in pornography, broken in watching, broken in doing all this, and you're praying to God to take it away? I'm giving you the key. It's in your pocket. Cry for his presence back on your life. I know you're alive. And I know that I all these I was not born with, but your presence on my life will finish everything.

SPEAKER_00

But I permission.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know when they threw Shadrach, Mishak, and Abednego in the fire? Why do you think fire could not burn them? The presence of God, which is a greater fire, was on them. So when they threw these boys under the bus, like you say, threw them in the fire and they said, We look at your God. You know what happened? The greater fire outdid the earthly fire.

SPEAKER_00

These three boys pursued the presence of God. Daniel pursued the presence of God. Daniel Jotha Wobi Parmesh. When they threw him in the lion's den, the lion had to shut his mouth. Because Daniel said, I don't care if you raise up any idol.

SPEAKER_02

Three times a day I'm going to pray. What was prayer? Why was Daniel praying?

SPEAKER_00

He's pursuing the presence of God. Or Q Daniel Karata, you personally keep piche. Why am I telling you this?

SPEAKER_02

Because your prayer life can just be time. But there is no pursuit for the presence. You can I prayed one hour. I prayed half an hour. What do you think that is to God?

SPEAKER_00

Your life is going in the other direction. Your life is in the other direction. You're giving God half an hour. What do you think he needs your half an hour? Do you think he needs your one hour? God knows we need his presence.

SPEAKER_02

So stop fooling with God. That's the message God gave us today. Because God told me, some of you are gonna walk and not knock another door. You'll open it. You'll open it. And I'm here to tell you the presence of God is what is missing on your life. Not strategy, not all those are good. Today God is telling you this is what it is. If you miss everything, no problem. But don't miss this, because even if you are pursuing the presence and you make a mistake, God can still change everything. Because I didn't know how to hear God's voice at that time, but I was pursuing his so now, even though I made a mistake, God stood like a big wall and said, You are aiming too small. You are aiming? You are aiming for kinetic, you are aiming for splendor. God is saying, I deny both. And you're like so upset. No, no, no, we don't have to be upset. We have to pursue his presence more. You're running, I like this, I like that. God will make sure when you pursue God's presence, even your errors become blessings. When God doesn't give you what you want, what do you do? What do you do when you don't get what you want? Now you go home and you put your back down and you're like, I'm not gonna. You know God loves you. You know what to do, but I'm upset. I'm not going to come on prayer call. I'm not going to come. And if I come, I'll just stay on mute. No camera, acute. I come to church. I'll just do this. But before we saw you clapping a lot when God blessed you. Lot we saw you clapping. Now, when you don't have the blessing, now God is saying, see, this is your heart. And you needed it so much. And you prayed and fasted. You went to Man of God. Went to Prophet Shaiju Matthew Conference. Stood in line, God prayed over, nothing happened. But then how you acted. But this is what differentiates a man who is after the presence of God. Because he understands that you cannot enter the presence of God and go back without having a deposit. It is not possible. Can you imagine? You enter God's presence. You may have not got A or B. Because God has kept something greater, A plus B plus C. No one can spend time in God's presence and come out empty. It's not possible. Because God knows that after 15 days, you're going to be thrown in a lion's den. Yeah, you're going to be thrown in a lion's den. Do you know Daniel never knew? Daniel could not Shadrak, Mishak, and Nabedno never knew they're going to be thrown. But they pursued God so much they said, I think they're not going to be able to get away. Did I get the Hindi right? He said very clearly, we know, and that is not you. Do you know the king got so violent? With such a nice answer.

SPEAKER_00

He should have actually said what you're saying is right.

SPEAKER_02

Are you God? That we'll bow before. But Satan had entered him. He was not just a king now. Satan had taken and said, Bow before me. But God will raise up people here who will not bow. He will not bow before the idols of men. You will not bow before their little salary. When they are ready to take away your life and ministry from God. When they are ready to take away your church, you are ready to not come to church because of a job. Seek the presence of God. Because they must know because of you, the whole company is alive.

unknown

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_02

Not because of salary.

SPEAKER_00

We don't go to work for salary.

SPEAKER_02

We go to work to be a blessing.

SPEAKER_00

You can't pay me. I carry the presence of God.

SPEAKER_02

I'm in the presence of God.

SPEAKER_00

What can you give me when I hear God?

SPEAKER_02

When I was so sick and I just stood up and the bone just went inside by a word which I never prayed for.

SPEAKER_00

That's the presence of God. When you're in his presence, he fixes things that even you don't know about.

SPEAKER_02

In the presence of God, God will open your eyes and show you how badly you have been treating your wife. And I'm telling you, he'll show you all these things very gently. God never shouts in his presence. And see Elijah. You know, I'm the most zealous man, and there's no one like zealous like me. I am, you know, I am then finally he says, Oh Lord, I am worse than my father's. Kill me. He's telling God, I'm so zealous for you. I have done so much for you. But I'm so tired. God says, No problem. Hand in your resignation paper. Go anoint. Three people's anointing on you, go and anoint. One to be king, one to be prophet, one to destroy Jezebel. God is never shouting. God tells you very quietly, you don't like this job. You don't like what I put on your life. I'll give it to somebody else. And you continue doing what you want. All the houses, the wells, everything is given, he knew one thing. That all this blessing that God has given you can destroy you. Look how you were when you never had a phone. Look how you were when you never had the house. Look how when the designation of the job came, how you are now. Look now that all your needs are met. You got good shoes, you got good shirt, you got nice people say, Wow, you know, everything is good, looking good, you got nice things, and now look. What? The very thing that God blessed us is become our snare. 30 seconds, everybody. I want you to repent like never before. I want you to repent, start praying in tongues, repent and say, God, my entire life is going to be the presence of God. Not religion, not coming to church, not doing anything for God. Please look here. Not doing anything for God. God doesn't want your doing. God doesn't want your doing anything for him.

SPEAKER_00

God will raise up this platform and make children out of it.

SPEAKER_02

But he's asking, can you pursue my presence, my children? 30 seconds. Come on, start praying. Repent. Listen, today is your day that you are going to become untouchable. So don't be upset. Say, God, thank you for correcting me. Thank you for correcting my life. Thank you for correcting my mind. People online, pray, pray, pray, everyone. Ah, I wish you would cry louder. If you need to cry, cry. If you need to tell God, I was following a form of religion, a form of church, a form of Lord, but I didn't understand.

SPEAKER_00

I have to pursue your presence.

SPEAKER_02

Why? Because they've come out of the same fire you have come out. That means your father doesn't have access to a different fire. No, we are all one body. And one fire. And one faith. And one Lord. And one good father above us all.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know what your families will look like?

SPEAKER_02

Why does your parents not want you to serve God? Because they don't see anything of God on your life.

SPEAKER_00

They're saying he's gone to church, he's become worst.

SPEAKER_02

That cannot be said about us. Your mother and father should get convicted with your lifestyle. They should go to the bathroom and start weeping when they see their child pursuing the presence of God. They have to go weeping because they say, My God, my God, I'm getting convicted. Why? The presence of God on your life moves to your father. Touches your mother. Touches your neighbor, touches your cow, your goat, your family. Everything on your life, the presence of God touches. And that is what the church is doing. You're seeking what the church has provided. God is not interested in your sequence of songs and all that, He's interested in your pursuit of Him. That when you open your mouth, even Solomon will have to sit down. How can I contradict? How can I contradict the Bible? Why? Because you and Jesus are one, and no one can beat Jesus in wisdom. Nobody can beat our Jesus in wisdom. Do you know? Do you know this? This word that God is giving you is going to transform every area of your life. Not one, every. Now listen to me. Look at me. God is not upset with you. In fact, God loves you so much that you are here to hear it. Because he's saying, I'm going to raise you up so high. Do you know nobody could touch Moses? When he went and met God, they had to put a veil in front of his like this.

SPEAKER_00

This was like, they are not able, they had to put place.

SPEAKER_02

Why?

SPEAKER_00

His face was shining. You cannot enter the presence of God and come out lame.

SPEAKER_02

That's why I say to you, your diabetes are reversing. Your bone problem is shifting. Your heart problem is getting rated. Your hair problem, hair is coming back. Everything you lost in the natural and the supernatural is coming back on your life. Hey, listen, don't get excited. Sit on here. Or Qaraho. Why should your hair come back?

SPEAKER_00

Q sorry, Maria Nikolini.

SPEAKER_02

Because the last time I remembered when they took a stick which didn't have a root and put it in the presence, it bore fruit. And it didn't even bear fruit. It gave ripe almonds that means it was not even the season and it bore That means you are not in your season and you're going to bear. Are you listening to me? That's what the presence of God does. It restores time. Somebody you are getting time back. Your body is going to receive a deposit of the presence of God.

SPEAKER_00

Don't worry, if the devil took 10 years, God gave you 15.

SPEAKER_02

You watch and see, this word will bear fruit. This word will bear fruit in your life. This word is gonna make Satan so scared of you. That when he comes against you with accusation, the Lord will raise up the standard of his blood because he knows there's a child who's pursuing his presence, not a gift.

SPEAKER_00

Not a gift.

SPEAKER_02

Now you know the scriptural evidence. Do you know in the Ark of the Covenant there was nothing? No light, no rays, it was dark, no water, nothing. That's what I'm talking about. There will be no signs of any outside growth. Just a dried stick you are, but you shall bear fruit.

SPEAKER_00

Woo!

SPEAKER_03

Somebody my job here today.

SPEAKER_01

Now it came to pass to the Natum. On the next day, Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron of the house of Levi had sprouted.

SPEAKER_02

Sprouted, everybody says sprouted. Put forth buds. Oh, blossom, it's a blossom. Yeah, it's a blossom there. Blossoms will start. And what came after that?

unknown

And yielded rice almonds.

SPEAKER_02

That means no matter how much season it takes to grow, God reverses it and brings it in a day. Listen, child of God, look here. What you are thinking is useless activity, is supernatural blessing. This is what the devil has convinced you. He's convinced you to pray. But where is your heart?

SPEAKER_00

Where is your heart?

SPEAKER_02

You're not pursuing God. You're pursuing your own agenda. That's why you can keep praying for the next ten years and you will see nothing. You have to go home today and tear your clothes and say, God, the old is gone. Now, Lord, I understand the blessing of pursuing your presence. That means tear all your doctors' reports and throw it in the sky. And tell them, when I finished with the presence of God, a new me shall outs come outside that door. A new family, a new everything will become new. Complete that's why Satan has convinced the church to pray. That's why you have so many people who pray. But look at their lives, they are fighting, cheating, stealing, lying, gossiping, slandering, missing church.

SPEAKER_00

They are worse than the people outside. And they are the ones who are found praying. You know, this boy is very honest. That's why God is going to give him double blessing.

SPEAKER_02

How many of you know it took courage to stand here? Yet how many of you are suffering with this problem, but you will never come and say it? Because you did that, believe me, you're going to be a weapon of God. What you are not willing to confess, God is not willing to cover. If it has to break the phone, smash it. What is a phone compared to your destiny? What is that compared to your destiny in Christ Jesus? What is some bitterness that your husband did to you, that your wife, that your mother, that your neighbor, what is it compared to the destiny God is going to raise you to? Let it go. Let it go.

SPEAKER_00

Let it go.

SPEAKER_02

I promise you, you will come back with ten times more.

SPEAKER_00

You're finished.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know when David the Bible says when the men went out to war, David sat at home. That means it was a time for war, meaning what? Means it was a time for prayer and seeking. I'm giving you the new covenant, DKJV version, Derek King James version. That means it was a time for, I'm interpreting it, not in the story. That means it was a time for seeking God's presence. Why? Lithargy comes when God has established you. When you established.

SPEAKER_00

Not when you're broke. Not when you don't have money. When you don't have money, you're crying. Hallelujah!

SPEAKER_02

But when you get the job, when you get the house, when you get the promotion, when you get what you want, that's the time you have to be careful. Please, are you getting it? You have to be more afraid of your blessing than a curse. Because when the blessing comes, watch. Suddenly the cry goes out. Now you no longer cry to God like you used to cry. David was a madman after God's heart, sitting on the mountains, didn't care about anybody, worshiping God, loving God alone. No pulpit, no mic, no audience, no lights, no fan, nothing. Just he and God loving God and saying, Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the He was removing lyrics after lyrics. But the minute the Bible says he started winning victories, he started getting blessed. You read all those chapters, finally tells you now when men went to war, David said, What do I need? I got a full army. Do you know? All my sons, if I give them the mic, they'll preach more better than me. Because now you're not crying out to God. Why God has given you.

SPEAKER_00

You just read little before that.

SPEAKER_02

Little before that, if you read, he David, it says David destroyed some 70,000 or 30,000 people. He killed himself. But suddenly he went on the terrace from being a watchman in the spiritual realm. He started looking in people's house. Are you listening to me? From being a spiritual watchman whom God has made you, now you're looking into some other business which you're not supposed to.

SPEAKER_01

Prophets in 2 Samuel 10, 18. Then Zians fled before Israel. And David killed 1700.

SPEAKER_02

Who killed? It's not saying his army. It's saying this man alone. Can you imagine 40,000? What this guy was carrying.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know it was a presence of God on his life? 40,000 horsemen. And he killed them him. David killed, not his army. And now look at the next verse, what happens?

SPEAKER_01

And when all the kings who were servants of the Hadel move to next chapter. And it happened in the spring of the year at the time when kings go out to Battle. That David sent Joab and his servants to with him. And all Israel. And they destroyed the people of Ammon and besieged Rabbah for King.

SPEAKER_02

But David remained what does it say? It happened in the spring. When kings go out, when everybody says when kings go out. You're a king.

SPEAKER_00

You're supposed to be fighting the battles of the Lord. But you're fighting at home.

SPEAKER_02

Kings! You were supposed to do the Lord's battle. Now what you're doing? When men, when kings go to battle, you decided why? You just had a victory, no? You just got a blessing. Now you're worried who will marry me, which house I'll get, when which girl is looking at me, Bal saying that. Because of that worry, now see David is found in the wrong place. Because of that worry. And when you're in the wrong location, you see what you should have never seen. Now David is standing and he's looking, and now he sees a girl having bath. And do you know what he does? I'm not putting down David, huh? Please. He's looking from off. Can you imagine? God never hid it, he documented it. So that we can all study. Can you imagine this was a man? If God was had to protect his name, you would have said, hide it. Because why I chose him? If I choose him, and this guy does that, but our God is so good, He doesn't care about His name, He's forever established. Every detail. Imagine God put every detail of David so that your details would never come out. Matthew, Mark, and Luke Chodo. That's why God said Joby Lickna is old. Huh? Because as bad as they had, they had little. If he starts with the church writing half faults. Sir, Bible I'm here. Sir, one there is a chalore. Yellow skind. That's what the Bible says. If you remembered our sins, who could stand? Who could stand away? Nobody can stand. But I want to say thank you to David because we can learn. I want to show you when you're not pursuing the presence, that's the location, the wrong location you start inhabiting. Don't ask God why you're consumed with pornography. You're not pursuing the presence. That's why you're there. Don't ask God why you're burning with lust. You're not pursuing God's presence. You just come to church. And you think by coming to church, God has to bless your coming to church. We don't come to church so that God can bless us. We come to church to bring the Holy Spirit with us. That's if you come to church, come with the Holy Spirit. Do you know what this church will change when everyone over here pursues the presence of God? We'll have to give this whole worship team chuti. Because there will be fire in the audience. You won't need a guitar, you won't need a drum, you won't need a standpuran, you won't need anything. People here, when you just say pray, the whole room will shake. Because these have made their home prayer rooms. They have pursued God in tears. They have fasted and prayed and said, God, I hate food, but I want your voice. When those people come, that's why the Bible says, when they came together, the room shaked. Somebody. What did I say? You don't fall because of temptations, you fall because you left a location called pursuing the presence of God. So don't go and ask God, how do I give up this? How I give up Coca-Cola? You sit in God's presence, you will get wisdom. You will take coke and throw it out. It is a season. This is a season God is saying for you. You're supposed to seek God's presence, not play church. Don't just fast, make your fast count.

SPEAKER_00

Do you know you can fast and still be with your phone?

SPEAKER_02

You can still be with your heart everywhere. But when you fast, you have to go and tell God, get into the word, get into prayer. Lock yourself up. Do you know I'm giving you a secret? You know how I heard God's voice?

SPEAKER_00

Simple secret. All of you will hear, because all of you qualify.

SPEAKER_02

Not one over here, my sheep hear my voice. God never said, My best sheep will hear my voice. The highest sheep with blot of wool will hear my voice. The best looking one, my sheep. Are you God's sheep? Then you have to hear his voice. This is the key. But this is what God showed me. He said, When Moses entered the tabernacle, this is what God actually does. When you enter his presence, when you stand before him and say, This time is for you. You know what God does? He puts the cloud pillar as a barrier between you and the world. He becomes the barrier. Not you, he. With you just saying, God, I'm here to seek you. God brings his presence down. Listen to me. I'm telling you, this is our God. You may be thinking, Oh my God, but there was a cloud. Yeah. And that's why God removed the cloud because everybody started worshipping the cloud. Now in the new covenant, God doesn't give you a cloud. He says, I'm with you. This is exactly what they did. When they saw the cloud on Moses, they worshiped. So what was their worship? Cloud. Cloud comes, we worship. No cloud, only Joshua. One out of six million people, one man was pursuing the presence of God. One, how you know what that percentage is? 0.0001. If I just stop and I say, I see, I see an angel. There he is standing next to that guy. He's pouring oil. Everything will shift in two minutes. If I just open my eyes and start telling you what I see, you'll all be, oh, the presence of God. What about now? Is the presence of God not here? Is the word that's coming not his presence?

SPEAKER_00

Is the word not touching your heart? That is the Lord. That is the Lord.

SPEAKER_02

And this is where everybody is stuck. Online, you're looking power, power, Chamatkar. Muje Kabi Chamatkar. Listen, this works like this, this kingdom. First transformation, first intimacy, transformation, last ministry.

SPEAKER_00

Last.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, you don't need power.

SPEAKER_00

You need the presence of God. Don't get excited when you see blind eyes open.

SPEAKER_02

Don't get excited when you see cripples walk. You're so excited, people we get when we see healings and demons come out. Do you know all those people can get all their demons back? All their sicknesses back. But a man or woman who chases the word of God, he's untouchable. You will never, never see that man because he got a revelation. He'll never go back to his old life. Is there anyone like that here?

SPEAKER_00

If you're bold and put your hand up. Can you see how few?

SPEAKER_02

And I can tell you, out of those, let me not tell you. You know why? This is the state of the church. We are more happy to come here. I lay hands on you and declare one Bhavishavani. Rather than you sit down and say, God, I am your vessel. I am chosen. I am sanctified, blood washed, glorified. I will not leave till I hear your voice. This is happening, okay? You just can't see it. But when you go to pray, can you believe this is what God does for you? If you hear me today, you will never pray the way you pray, ever again. You will be so excited about prayer. Whether you know it or not, when you enter God's presence, and the Bible says we don't enter by us, we enter by the blood of Jesus. And we don't enter a tabernacle, we enter the throne room. Not even the straight, no man-made temple, straight into his presence through the blood of Jesus. Straight, no more veil between holy of holies and you, straight before God.

SPEAKER_01

Prophets in Hebrews 10 19. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and a living way.

SPEAKER_02

That means the old one is that means any man-made temple gone. Now what? God is saying, I opened a new and living way. We enter how? Shyly, cowardly, boldly, boldly. Why? Not because you are holy, because he has made us holy. That means that veil of Moses, God threw it out. God said, No veil between you and me, face to face. You're not excited that you can go home and have a conversation face to face with God Himself.

SPEAKER_00

And that veil was what? His flesh. Now you know why his body had to be broken. Because you went through it.

SPEAKER_02

And having a great high priest, high priest, not a priest great over the house of God. Hey, but you don't know, my pastor is not so good. You know, my pastor doesn't see you. What about you? You always blame your pastor. But I see that you got direct access. By your life, your pastor should have changed by now. You only get the pastor like the people get the government because of the people.

SPEAKER_00

And the people said, Did you get that?

SPEAKER_02

So now look, I want you to see this. Look very carefully. I enter the presence of God boldly. I showed you the scripture by a new and living way, by the blood of Jesus, past the veil, which is his broken body. And I'm standing and looking at the king sitting on the throne. And all the creatures and the elders behind me. Immediately, you don't know this. A mighty pillar of cloud comes. Do you know that cloud and the fire is in heaven? It's still there.

SPEAKER_00

It's just that the location where it resides has changed. Because your location has changed. So that means the emerald and the river flowing from God and the fire around the four creatures is all surrounding you.

SPEAKER_02

Are you listening?

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

That means that's why when you pray, you're looking for an angel. God's not giving you. He's saying you're sitting with the angel, brother. Once the location changes, the presence on your life will be different. Now, what you cannot say no to, there's something happened to you. You're not the same guy. Now, when you come back out, what you don't know, there are new ammunition given to you, new tools given to you. Now you entered in without sword, you come out with Goliath killing sword. So Satan said, Ah, I'll do the same trick with him, but what he doesn't know, you upgraded. Now, when you come out, you don't speak the same language. There's no more condemnation, there is no more guilt. You come out with the presence of God. So this is what I found out. Enough I taught you on that. Now let me finish this, okay? Standing here, what comes? Think this is a small room. How do I do it? Okay, think this is a small room here. I entered in. What does God do immediately? From behind, what He'll do? He'll put a big pillar of cloud. Why is that? To separate you from everything else.

SPEAKER_00

It's still happening when you pray.

SPEAKER_02

Somebody can shout, Amen. I want this to go in your imagination.

SPEAKER_00

It's still happening because God is not a respecter of person.

SPEAKER_02

God still demands that the door be shut. But now look, this is what happened. Because you don't know what is happening in a spiritual realm. You keep walking out with distractions and walking in and pick the phone inside and check this side, that side, and you come out suddenly. But what God actually did, he had closed the door and he was getting ready to speak to you. And you suddenly one bird made noise. I have to go and see what the bird said. Kill the bird. Another day. You decided to come out, and now God missed an opportunity to give you something. Can I have an amen on that? How many of us do that? Not one person can put your hand down here. We are going to change it.

SPEAKER_00

With this teaching, we are going to change it.

SPEAKER_02

We are saying, listen, let the whole house catch fire. When I am in, I will not come out. And do you know, even if it catches fire, nothing will get burned? Nothing. I'm telling you, our senior prophet was in a place and he was praying. The whole tent caught fire in which he was praying, Prophet Emmanuel Makandewa. The whole tent caught fire. All the villagers came with buckets and they were throwing water and throwing water. And do you know he was inside? He never even knew. And he's praying. And what they never knew was this is not earthly fire. So it was not going off. Or ye prophet the man inside was making the house on fire. People are dying. You even if all your wires are old and burnt, nothing can happen to you. God will keep the whole thing down until you meet him. Do you know how cancer works? No? Cancer cells are already in your body. In everyone it is there. Why do they mass produce? Because the immune system is not able to keep it down.

SPEAKER_00

Or cancer, or do you know why it fell?

SPEAKER_02

Because the white blood cells are not able to kill them. So they start multiplying. If the person gets cancer. That because you pursued the presence of God, all your enemies within your body will stay down. Down. At your feet, where they are supposed to be. At your feet. Do you know all your addictions, your distractions, your attractions will all stay down? That's why you see Jesus early morning before even his disciples got up, ghoul, without trace, up on the mountain, seeking his father, the presence of God. What are you talking? Not one of you shall have sickness in your body. Not one. Not one, I said. If you do what I tell you, you will come back with the testimony. This is what the doctor said. This after seeking God, report change.

SPEAKER_00

Report change.

SPEAKER_02

So I take my words back. Don't tell your doctor's report, they're very important. After this sermon, don't tear anything. We need it. We are going to publish it on Instagram. This is before, this is after. Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up. We cannot sit down. I want you to give God today like you have never given. Give according to the amount of backsliding. Even if you are online, give. Are you listening to me? Are you listening to me? You can move this side. The camera is struggling. Move the side here. Are you listening to me? I want you between you and God. Don't don't be distracted. Hear what I'm saying. Listen, this is, you know, when I'm ending is very critical. I'm going to give you something now which I didn't give you before. You're ready? God today is healing you of your backsliding. You want to hear it? This is the one word God gave me. Tell them they are backslidden. Tell the whole church, I'm going to do something in their day that will make people's ears tingle if they come back to my presence. God is going to use you and make people's ears tingle. It means they'll get shocked that God could do it through you. How many of you can put your hand and say, I am backslidden? May the Lord bless your honesty. But I promise you, refreshing new times are coming in your life. And it's very bad when it happens in the church. You know what I mean? Because if it happens in the world, everyone knows. But when it happens in the church, the person who's backslid, he puts on a mask. Why? Because he still wants to attend church and he knows if he reveals what all the brothers and sisters will hit him. They'll say, Ah, black sheep. But what I'm here to tell you, God doesn't need your mask. Remove it out.

SPEAKER_00

And this only happens in the church.

SPEAKER_02

Do you know what David did? David not only took Bhatshiba, she conceived and had her child. And she told David, David, do you know what David did? David didn't. Now watch in this whole episode. There is nowhere where you see David seeking God. Now he started thinking how to cover it up. Have you seen this? This happens in church. How to? When there is a sin, we don't want to expose it, we want to so what he did, he called whose it is Uriah. Get him here. Can you imagine? He took Uriah. And you know the first thing that he did to Uriah? He said, Come, wash yourself and come. And gave Uriah a lot of food. King's food. King's what? Food. King's food he gave him. Read it. This in your Bible. Why? Because David knew when food becomes into your body, when you be consumed with food, the next thing you will do is start lusting after the flesh. Food. I'm giving you keys. Food. Maybe food is a big thing in your life. That because of which you have ignored the presence of God. It's time that you said, No food. See, David was so smart, he knew, don't give him give him food. And you know what this guy did? He ate the food, but he slept outside. It didn't work because God wanted it not to work. Don't read, let them read. This is for your homework. I don't have time. Do you know what? He went and slept at the gate and would not go in. When David said, Why didn't you go and sleep with your wife? Because he wanted to cover it up. He said, How can I sleep when the armies of God are fighting? Do you know this was a true son of David? And yet David had no problem plotting against him. Can you see what sin can do to you? Can you see this is a man who loved God? What about you and me? You're not David, I'm not David. This man loved God one time. He decided when he has to be a warrior and a king and go to battle, he decided, let me put my leg up and put a movie. Let me there is no break for us. We are in an army. The minute you take a break, the enemy is waiting with note and paper, and he's writing what you did. He will accuse you of it. But the Lord's blood is coming to set you free today. Look what he did more. I wanted to show you what backsliding will do. Backsliding will make you put a mask and come to church. And you'll be sitting in church, clapping hands, shouting, saying amen. But when you go home, you go back to your same location, and there's no change, right? You know what David did? It didn't work the second time. He said, Let me try something else. He made him drunk. Daru. Be careful if you have friends who are be careful if you go with them, they will take you to that location. He tried to intoxicate him. But do you know this man? It was God who made sure he didn't go. After drinking, he slept there only. Do you know now what David does? I want you to see what backsliding does. If this could be done to a man after God's heart, do you think anyone here is greater than David? I'm showing you if a man of God could backslide like David. Now he gives drink. And yet that guy goes like that and goes and sits there. Do you know what he does the third time? Now he writes a letter. And he's telling that Joab can you imagine? He's putting a letter of his death in his hand. And he's saying, Give this letter to that man. And this guy doesn't know, he's taking a letter of his death to the army. This is what a mask can do on your face. And what happened? He died. And David said, Come back. Now we live happy. Until God said, Really? You think I was not watching? God sent a prophet who saw everything in 3D. David thought he was not. That's why don't ever think that your man of God is not seeing what you're doing. Don't think that your man of God cannot see. David thought nobody. So Nathan came and said, Let me tell you a story, David. There was a man who had one little sheep and he loved it and he played with it, he fed it, he did everything. And this other man was a rich man. He had everything, hundreds of sheep. But when a traveler came, somebody said a traveler. You know what is a traveler? A thought. A traveler is a thought. When a thought came that I like this, I want it. David entertained it. Instead of seeking the presence of never forget, the traveler is the Vichar. Both Vicharata Manme. Anyanya Vicharate. But what do you do when you get the Vichar? You had to go and seek the presence of God. But what he did, he went and he took that one man's sheep and killed it and refused to sacrifice his sheep. David got up in anger and said, That man, as the Lord lives, David said, Do you know you can be quoting God and saying, As the Lord lives, that man will die today. And Nathan gets up and says, You are that man, you are that man. Kill yourself now. And you know what he did? He must have frozen. Because he's saying, As the so can I want you to see this? I'm not condemning anyone. If I've come with this message, you must know it has cut me up first. So you must know that God is elevating you today. Your day of elevation is today. I'm showing you that if a man of God, after God's heart, can do all this, you are no stranger. If you don't pursue the presence of God, you will have even more wickeder thoughts. And don't think just because you wear a suit and you quote some lines that the enemy will not tear you out. But look at David's response. He didn't get up and said, I didn't do, I didn't do. He said, I have sinned and I've sinned against God alone. Can you make that out of your mouth? Can you open your mouth and say, God, my lithargy, my complacency, my first love has gone against you, and you have I sinned alone? Not blaming anybody, not the pastor, not your husband, not your wife, not your children, not anyone. Lord, against you and you alone have I sinned. And this is the difference between not the difference, the similarity between David and Moses. Do you know Moses what he cried out? He cried out and said, If your presence doesn't go with me, I don't want to go anywhere. You know what David cried out? The same thing, take not thy Holy Spirit from me. David never said, Don't take the palace, because he knew this what he did was deserving death. Nathan came and told him, Don't worry, you won't die. That means it was deserving. A decree had gone out, he should die. But look at God. Because of his response, God changed it. I'm telling you, David would have died. And there's a worse then. Nathan said, What you have done has given the enemies of God a chance to blaspheme. Most of us don't think that because we live what we live, we are giving the enemy a chance to stand before God and say, This is the guy you anointed, this is the one you're blessing. Look what he's doing in the night. Look what he's doing. Ah, this is the one you love, this is the one you put in front of everyone. This is the one who you called. They're blaspheming God because of our. Can you believe that? That means in heaven, thank God. Now when they come and they say all that, I'm giving you hope. Another man comes up and stands and says, But I paid the price. You better be thankful for that. Do you know nobody had could come and stand before David and say, I paid the price. Now, when Satan accuses you, Jesus comes and says, So then why are we struggling? Because God cannot find the man getting up and saying, Thank you, Jesus. There's no response. Only Jesus is the advocate going on standing and saying, No, don't touch him. That's why we have so much grace. Do you know the amount of rubbish we've done, yet we are not getting that? The amount of sin we have done, yet we are not getting that. We are getting grace. It's because of Jesus. We don't get what we deserve, we get what He paid for life. Now think of it. David didn't have this Jesus. So he screamed, don't take what? David, do you know when the prophet came and Samuel and told Saul about it? What Saul said? Don't dishonor me before people. Please, all the people are here. At least treat. He was not bothered about his sin. He was worried about the mask. Please don't go home thinking about the mask. Worry about the presence of God that has left our lives. There is an indwelling presence. The indwelling presence is for ministry to you to guide you. And then there is an outward dwelling presence, and that is for the world. The presence of God indwelling will never be taken from you. But you can never manipulate God's presence over you. That's why when our Father comes, there's a presence that comes with him. That's why from today, when you go to work, there'll be a presence on your life. You won't just stand and say, You know, God, God is so good, God is so good, and then your life destroyed. No, you will stand up and say, Come taste and see, my God. One, two, three things are in your life. Tell me about it. Ah. Now the presence of God on top of you. What the Bible says? In the Acts of the Apostles, the Holy Spirit fell on top of them. They prayed, and the Holy Spirit came on them. The Holy Spirit on your life is for ministry. The Holy Spirit inside is for your internal ministry to edify you, to build you, to tell you, son, don't stay with this, don't stay with that. Walk away. Don't go after that. I got something better. He is the voice that speaks to you. But to go and conquer nations, you need the presence of God. Are you willing? Are you going to be happy? Jesus loves me. Holy Spirit will never leave me. And I'll go to heaven.

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_02

We are going to bring heaven down. We are not going there, we'll bring it down. In fact, when you go up also, Jesus will bring you back down. That's the calling on our life. If you believe this, shout the greatest shout to the Lord Jesus. Shout! Shout his name. If you believe that your life is going to change from today, don't be silent. The lumber is going to roll through human life. The luminum of Judah is going to roll through you. You are going to be disruptable. You are going to be a mighty woman and a mighty man of God. You're going to get. And the Lord bless you. The Lord bless you. The Lord bless you. The Lord bless you. Pray in tongues. You shall never backslide again. You were made to speak face to face with God. You were made to enjoy His presence. From today, there's a new you. There's a new you. Ah, I see restoration coming back to you. I see favor on your life. Even though the seasons may change, God says, My love from you shall never change. Even though the things may move in this world, God says, My love and my protection, I will not move from you. You will see extraordinary miracles. Extraordinary miracles. Somebody shout amen. Even your very presence is going to make demons scream. When you enter a room, don't be surprised if you start seeing chaos happening. Because no, it is not you. It's the principle, it's the money. When that door shuts between you and God and that cloud comes, remember at that moment Satan will try all the tricks possible because he doesn't want you to. And remember, if you don't hear anything, that means God has already done something. Do you know when God heals backsliding, it is greater than a physical miracle? Because it takes a spiritual word to open your spiritual eye, which nobody can see. There's some decision you need to make. If you make that wrong decision, 15 years of your life will go. Remember this, it's in the area of marriage. You know very well the word of God has come to you. The word of God has come to you. Don't make excuses no matter how much. The Lord is saying, you don't know why people are so good to you. You don't know why they are so good to you. They have an ulterior motor. Once they get your heart, see how they'll treat you. Once they get your body, see how they'll treat you. But if you wait on the Lord, you'll get the best. Remember when people treat you well, it's not because they love you, because they see something on your life. And they want that oil. Satan wants that oil. He cannot bear to see oil on your life. And he knows that oil, so he'll do everything to give you what you want. But remember this. Even the blessing you get can become your curse without the presence of God. The whole promised land became a curse to them because they never pursued God. They pursued the land. So remember what I'm telling you. Don't be surprised when people are good to you. I'm saying this because you don't know how to get out of what you're in, because that person has been very good to you. Find out if that person loves your God more than your body. That should set you free. Find out if that person loves your God more than your body. That's a Rima word for you. It'll set you free. And if you want to get married, find somebody who loves God more than your body. Did you get it? Men, don't go and look at the outside. You'll number one make a wrong decision. That's why when now you don't seek the presence of God, you make mistakes and irritate pastors and keep us busy. And then we have to counsel you. Because after choosing Jesus, your greatest decision in life is what? Marriage. Because the hand you hold will be for life. So make sure all you people who are not married, make sure you pursue the presence of God. He'll become a wall even if you're not able to see. Don't find somebody who loves you. Find that they love your God more than you. Because in the day of battle they leave you. Because in the day of battle, only the love of God can keep you together. Not bodies, spirits. May all your marriages be blessed. May you see how the enemy is trying to corrupt you. And may you make wise decisions. I bless you in the name of Jesus, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
