1:43victors in their generation in the
1:45mighty name of Jesus. We pray and the
1:48church said
1:50>> amen. Amen. I want to teach you
1:52something very powerful which I believe
1:55is going to transform your life. I
1:57believe this message today will be one
1:59of the most important messages that I
2:02have shared in nextgen. And if you
2:04understand and you walk into this
2:06revelation, I believe nothing will be
2:09impossible for you. Amen. I want to
2:12teach you about the mystery of faith but
2:14with a new perspective, with a new lens.
2:16Let's go to Genesis 1. The Bible says,
2:19"In the beginning, God created heavens
2:23and the earth." So in the beginning God
2:26creates heavens [music]
2:28and God creates earth. Now God creates
2:31two different kind of realms. Unseen
2:33realm and a seen realm. Okay. Now what
2:36does the Bible say? Does the Bible say
2:37God will create or the Bible says God
2:39created?
2:41>> God created the heavens and the earth.
2:45What does verse two say? The earth was
2:47without form and void. Now wait a
2:49minute. What is this? If God has created
2:52heavens and the earth, how is the earth
2:54without form and void? Because God has
2:57already created. I want you to think
2:59because this will be the foundation what
3:01I'll share. God created heavens and the
3:05earth. I want you to have a mental note
3:07of this scripture. We are going to come
3:09back. Let's go to 2 Corinthians 4:13.
3:12Why do you think some believers have
3:14been praying for years and it feels like
3:17heavens are shut for them? It feels like
3:19they do not have the answer. It feels
3:21even basic things are so difficult. And
3:25then there are those it is easy for
3:27these believers to walk in victory. It
3:29is easy for them to get the answer of
3:31their prayers. What does our Bible say?
3:33Is our God a partial God? Does God have
3:36any favorites? No. The Bible is very
3:38clear about that God does not have any
3:41favorites. But there are those who have
3:44received the revelation of how the
3:47kingdom operates. And by this
3:49revelation, by the knowledge of God,
3:51grace and peace multiplies in their
3:54life. And when grace and peace
3:55multiplies in your life, you will be
3:57distinguished. Amen. See, many people
4:00think prayer is saying much words,
4:02blabbering something. And they think the
4:04power of prayer is in the amount of
4:07words that they have said. Jesus said do
4:10not think that you will be heard because
4:12of your much speaking. That means much
4:16speaking does not give substance to your
4:18prayers. That means a person who
4:21understands how prayer works can pray a
4:24prayer in 5 minutes and get the answer.
4:26And this person who does not know how to
4:28pray can pray a prayer for 5 hours and
4:30come without an answer. The Bible talks
4:33about the prophets of Bal, Baal,
4:35whatever you want to call and they cried
4:36out to this God day and night. Nothing
4:39happens. And then comes Elijah and he
4:41says a prayer of 26 words. How many
4:43words? 26 words and the fire comes down.
4:46Do not think you will be heard because
4:48of your much speaking. It's not much
4:52speaking. It is much knowing that brings
4:54the answers. [music] So you have to
4:57focus on knowing, getting the mystery.
5:00And today I want to talk to you about
5:01the mystery of faith because faith is a
5:04mystery. The Bible says we hold this
5:06mystery with a pure conscience. The
5:08Bible also calls faith not just a
5:10mystery but also a law, a principle
5:13which God used in Genesis 1:1. And that
5:16is what I will teach you. God is a faith
5:19God. That's why the only way he gets
5:21pleased is by
5:23>> faith. That means God is saying the only
5:25way you will please me is my way and my
5:27way is the faith way. The only way you
5:29can please him is through his way and
5:31his way is the faith way and God is a
5:33faith God. Amen. 2 Corinthians 4:13. And
5:36since we have the same spirit of faith.
5:40So holy spirit is called what? Spirit of
5:42faith. That means faith is not
5:45intellectual. It does not come by
5:47reading books. Faith is spiritual. It
5:50comes by holy spirit. Are you with me?
5:53>> Knowledge comes by reading books. And
5:54you can gain a lot of knowledge. But if
5:56it does not come from the spirit, it
5:58will puff you up. It will bring pride
6:00and arrogance in you. Because we have
6:03the same spirit of faith. As it is
6:07written according to what is written, I
6:09believed and therefore I spoke. We also
6:13believe and therefore speak. Holy Spirit
6:16is called what? Spirit of faith. God is
6:20a faith God. This mystery operates by
6:24believing and speaking. Say believing.
6:28>> Speaking.
6:29>> Some of you have heard that. For some
6:30people it will be new. But I want you to
6:32get it so that you understand. Because
6:34anything that you do in the kingdom, if
6:37you have not mixed faith with it, God
6:38will not receive it. We focus on the
6:41act. God is not seeing your fasting. He
6:44wants to see the faith behind your
6:45fasting. He's not seeing your offering.
6:47He's seeing the faith that is mixed in
6:49that offering. Are you getting what I'm
6:50saying? Abel brought an offering to God
6:52and Cain also brought an offering to
6:54God. It was not the offering. It was the
6:56faith mixed in that offering. So God
6:58receives Abel's offering. God rejects
7:00Cain's offering. Cain gets offended. He
7:03does not know what has happened. I have
7:05done the same thing that Abel did.
7:07That's the same story with so many
7:09Christians. Offended because they saw a
7:11fellow believer being accepted by doing
7:13the same thing that they have been doing
7:14for years, but they didn't receive their
7:16answer. Then we say, "What more should
7:18we do?" No, no, no. It's not about doing
7:20more because Cain and Abel did the very
7:22same thing. They brought an offering.
7:24The secret was not in the offering. Then
7:26in Hebrews, it tells God Abel offered
7:30his offering by faith. Without faith, it
7:34is impossible. The Bible does not say
7:37it's difficult. It's impossible. That
7:40means if you don't understand how faith
7:42works, you'll never be able to please
7:43God. You can be a religious Christian
7:45all your life. You can fast, pray, go to
7:47church, give offering, be faithful in
7:49your tithes and don't understand why the
7:51father is not pleased because you do not
7:53understand faith. Because the only
7:54ingredient that pleases the father is
7:56what?
7:57>> Faith. And without faith, it is
8:00impossible to please God. If you see
8:02Hebrews chapter 11 and if you read
8:05Hebrews chapter 11, you see that in
8:07Hebrews chapter 11, it talks about by
8:09faith. By faith Abraham, by faith Moses,
8:12by faith Enoch, by faith David, by faith
8:15Gideon, by faith, by faith, by faith.
8:17And the Bible says these elders obtained
8:20a good testimony by
8:22>> faith. Because these elders had learned
8:25to operate by faith. It was not their
8:28fasting because Pharisees also fasted.
8:30And Jesus said, "You are the children of
8:32your father, the devil." We want to know
8:34the act. We want to go after the act.
8:36God wants to see faith. Jesus said,
8:39"When the son of man comes back on the
8:41earth, will he find faith?" That's what
8:43he's looking for. When the woman with
8:45the issue of blood, when she touched the
8:46hem of Jesus's garment and she got
8:48healed, Jesus said, "Daughter, your not
8:50daughter, your your fastings have healed
8:52you. Not your giving have healed you.
8:54Your
8:55>> faith have yes, faith can manifest. Your
8:57giving can be a manifestation of your
8:59faith. But you can also give without
9:01faith as a ritual." That's what people
9:03don't understand. Action comes later.
9:06Action does not produce faith. Faith
9:09produces action.
9:13So two people can do the very same
9:14action and one can do it because faith
9:17initiated that action. Second is doing
9:19it as a Christian ritual. Why do you do
9:22what you do? Because everybody does it.
9:24So spirit of faith, how do you think God
9:28did what he did or how do you think God
9:30does what he does? God believes and God
9:34>> speaks. That's exactly what he did in
9:37Genesis chapter 1. He believed and he do
9:42you know God is a speaking spirit. Now I
9:45want to tell you something very
9:46powerful. What is believing? Many
9:48believers don't know what believing is.
9:50Many believers are trying to believe
9:53intellectually through their head. Your
9:55head was never designed for believing.
9:57Your heart was designed for believing.
9:59Okay? Your head has the cognitive
10:02function. When you read a book, you read
10:04it through your head. It has a cognitive
10:06function but not your heart. So what is
10:09believing? What did God do? It's very
10:11simple. It's not complicated. If it's
10:14complicated, it's not from God. Amen.
10:16Gospel is not complicated.
10:18>> Believing is seeing.
10:22Some of you are clapping because others
10:23are clapping. Let me say that again.
10:25Believing is
10:27>> seeing. The world has turned it upside
10:30down. The world says seeing is
10:32believing. No sir, believing is seeing.
10:37That means you see first. God calls
10:40those things which are [music] not as if
10:43they are. If God is calling those things
10:46which be not as if they are. How can God
10:49call something which does not exist?
10:51Because God sees them in the eyes of his
10:55heart and then he calls them forth. He
10:57says light be. And there was light.
11:01Faith is not religious. Understand faith
11:04is not religious. Faith is in
11:08revelation. Faith is a mystery. Mystery
11:12means it's hidden. It's not plain and
11:14simple to everyone. God will have to
11:16throw light so that you can understand
11:18it. That's why faith does not make sense
11:20to so many people. Okay? I'll try to
11:22make it as simple as I can so that you
11:23understand it. And not only understand
11:25it, you can walk in it. Why? Because you
11:27have the spirit of faith. If you have
11:30the spirit of faith, then the same
11:32spirit in Genesis 1 who now lives in you
11:35will give you the ability to see
11:37something before it manifest on this
11:39earth. Why do you think the earth is
11:42round? Why is earth not square? Anyone?
11:45Not because of big bang. Because God saw
11:47it like that. Have you seen a painter?
11:49How many people have seen a painter
11:50painting? They have a canvas. What do
11:52they do? The painting that you see in
11:54the end, the painter creates that
11:56painting in his mind. He the painting is
11:59created before he picks up the
12:01paintbrush. In the beginning, God
12:03created heavens and the earth. It was
12:06finished. It was done. He has already
12:09finished the creation. Then he starts
12:11working from verse two. But in verse
12:13one, it was done. When a painter is
12:15painting, he's not imagining. Okay.
12:17Okay. No, he sees the picture. Done.
12:20It's done. In the beginning, God created
12:23heavens and the earth. Anybody here know
12:25about a scientist called Nicola Tesla?
12:27Thank God because of him, we can afford
12:29electricity. If you don't know this
12:30about him, you can go ahead and research
12:33about him. This guy at that time we had
12:36uh DC motors, direct current. So direct
12:39current is the steady flow of current,
12:42right? And people used to think that the
12:44only way you can transfer electricity
12:46from one place to the other is through
12:49the form of a direct current. The
12:51electricity has to flow continuously.
12:53But electricity in its natural state is
12:56alternative. That means it goes up and
12:59it goes down. It's like a river is
13:00flowing. It's going upstream and
13:02downstream. Tuck tuck tuck. That's how
13:05it's the natural way electricity is. So
13:08Tesla thought if we can transfer
13:10electricity the way it is naturally it
13:13will be easier. So the professor mocked
13:15him. He said it's impossible to create a
13:18motor for alternative current. It's a
13:20true story. You can go ahead and read
13:22about him. So he went in his room. He
13:25sat in his room and started to create
13:28this motor in his imagination. Did not
13:32go to a workshop. did not pick a tool
13:35but sat in a place and just started to
13:38create hours.
13:40Why? Because he was made in the image of
13:43>> God. Why are human beings different than
13:45animals? You will never see a dog after
13:47some time dog coming wearing a jacket
13:50and a pant. But we do that. Why? Because
13:53God has given us the ability to be
13:56creative. The function of creativity is
13:59connected to your ability to see. Amen.
14:03Why do you fly in aircrafts today?
14:05Because they were two brothers who saw
14:07themselves flying as human beings. They
14:09were called right brothers. They
14:11imagined something impossible. But guess
14:13what? Today because of them we are
14:16reaping the benefit. The day you
14:18understand this how powerful your
14:19beholding you're seeing is. So this guy
14:22Nicola Tesla he sat in his chair and
14:25just imagine and one day as in his
14:27imagination he's like I have made the
14:28motor without touching any equipment
14:32without picking up a hammer or a screw
14:34or whatever. Nicola Tesla created the AC
14:37motor. Then he went to a workshop and
14:42assembled it and it was a perfect
14:44working [music] AC motor.
14:47In the beginning, God created heavens
14:50and the earth. [music] In verse one, all
14:53the creation was done. Verse two now
14:55tells how God starts to do it
14:58physically. But in his heart, he
15:00beholded the entire image. Amen. So what
15:03is faith? Faith is believing and
15:05speaking. Now let's dissect it. What is
15:08believing? Believing is
15:10>> seeing. That means if you don't see what
15:12you're believing for, you have not
15:14really believed. Many people do not
15:16understand. They say, "Oh yeah, I
15:18believe." Do you believe? Oh yeah,
15:19brother. I believe. I believe, brother.
15:20What does your answer look like there? I
15:22don't know, but I believe. I believe,
15:23brother. That's nonsense. If you don't
15:25know what your answer looks like, you
15:27are not believing. You are
15:29intellectually and mentally agreeing or
15:31saying yes, I believe. Because I don't
15:33think there is anyone in the church who
15:35would say I don't believe. If you ask
15:36anybody, do you believe? Yes, I believe.
15:38If you believe, then my question is,
15:40have you seen what your answer looks
15:42like? If you're believing for healing,
15:44what does healing look like? If you're
15:46believing for a job, what does that job
15:49look like? Whatever you are believing
15:51God for, what does it look like? Because
15:54believing is seen. If you have not seen
15:57it, you have not believed it. All right,
16:00let's go to Genesis chapter 15. Do you
16:02know God tells Abraham that he'll be a
16:03father of many nations and Abraham
16:05cannot believe it? It's hard for Abraham
16:07to believe. So Genesis chapter 15 when
16:09God says Abraham I have made you not
16:12that I will make you I have made. How
16:14has God made him? Because God has seen
16:16Abraham father of many nations. So when
16:18it comes to God's reality God is not
16:21just seeing Abraham. God is seeing
16:23Abraham and his generations. I have made
16:28you Abraham a father of many nations.
16:31That's what God is seeing. That is what
16:34God believes about Abraham. What is
16:35Abraham seeing? Genesis 15 says Abraham
16:38goes to God and says God what will you
16:40give me seeing I am childless. God is
16:43like I'm not seeing you are childless.
16:44You are seeing you are childless. I am
16:46what I'm seeing Abraham. I'm seeing you
16:48as a father of many nations but you are
16:50seeing yourself childless. What is God
16:53saying about Abraham? Abraham I have
16:56made you. Can God lie? No. But the
16:58problem is unless how can two walk
17:01together unless they agree. So God is
17:04seeking your agreement. What is Abraham
17:06seeing? What is the picture Abraham is
17:08seeing? I am childless. What is the
17:10picture that God is seeing? Father of
17:11many nation. So God knows if Abraham has
17:14to become a father of nations on the
17:16physical realm, then he will have to
17:19agree with the picture that I'm seeing.
17:21So God tells Abraham, let's look at
17:23verse 5. Then he, that means God brought
17:25him, that means Abraham, God brought
17:27Abraham outside of his tent and said,
17:30Abraham look now towards heaven. Now
17:32what does God have to do? God has to
17:34give Abraham a picture which looks like
17:37his answer. God is not seeing one or two
17:40kids. When God is seeing a father of
17:41many nations, God is seeing billions of
17:43kids. So he has to give him a picture
17:45like the answer. Amen. So God says,
17:48"Come out, look now towards heaven and
17:51count the stars if you are able to
17:53number them." He said to him, "So shall
17:56your descendants be." What is God trying
17:58to tell Abraham? Your descendants are
18:00going to be innumerable. Abraham, you
18:03are not able to believe for one son. I
18:05am seeing billions, innumerable. Can you
18:09count these stars? Abraham,
18:11I give up. There are so many. Then
18:14Abraham says verse six, and he believed
18:18in the Lord. Why does the Bible say he
18:20believed instantly after he sees the
18:23image? He believes what God has said.
18:27Before that, Abraham could not believe.
18:29But once he sees the image, now Abraham
18:32believes and God accounts to him for
18:35righteousness. Amen. That means when God
18:39wants to bring a transformation in your
18:41life, first thing he touches your
18:45seeing. But before touching your seeing,
18:47he has to touch your hearing because
18:48Abraham hears God. That's why he comes
18:49out of the tent. Amen. That's why if you
18:52come to church and you hear a sermon, if
18:54you hear a word, but your scene does not
18:56change, you will be a religious
18:58Christian, a powerless believer will you
19:01will have no fruits in your life. You
19:02will be stuck in a dead Christianity
19:04which is as dead as any other religious
19:06system. Why do we hear the word? Because
19:10in the word are images. Okay, I want you
19:13all to close your eyes. Red shiny apple.
19:17Red shiny apple. Big black dog. Big
19:22black dog. Now open your eyes. Did you
19:24see shiny apple? A red apple? Anybody
19:26saw a blue apple? Why did you see red
19:28apple? All I did was I gave you the
19:31words. In the word was an image hidden
19:34in it.
19:37That's why be very careful what you are
19:39hearing. If you are with people who are
19:40constantly trying to talk about how
19:43messed up this earth is, everything is
19:45bad. What you are hearing is creating an
19:47image in your heart. If they are talking
19:49about the accidents and all the wrong
19:51things, the words are not mere words.
19:54They carry images. When God sent 12
19:57spies to spy the land of Canaan and then
19:59these 10 spies, look at what they said.
20:01Numbers 13:33,
20:03there we saw the giants. They saw what?
20:07>> Giants. The descendants of Anch came
20:10from the giants. And we were like
20:12grasshoppers in our own sight. What were
20:16they like when they saw the giants? They
20:19also saw an image for themselves. What
20:21was the image for themselves?
20:23>> We are like grasshoppers. And so we were
20:26in their sight. Now the thing is with
20:29what you see, it's so important. Let me
20:31tell you one thing. Let's go to 2
20:33Corinthians 3:18. But we all, so this
20:36applies to all. But we all with unveiled
20:40face beholding. I want you to underline
20:42this word in your Bible or just put it
20:44in your heart. Beholding as in a mirror
20:48the glory of the Lord are being
20:51transformed into the same image.
20:54Beholding are being transformed into the
20:59same image. Beholding are being
21:04transformed into the same image. [music]
21:07We were like grasshoppers in their sight
21:09and in our sight. What were they
21:11beholding? They were like grasshoppers.
21:13What did they become like?
21:15>> Grasshoppers. They died like
21:18grasshoppers die. Bam. Like millions.
21:21But they were two with a different
21:22spirit. Hallelujah. What was that
21:24spirit? That spirit was the spirit of
21:26faith. But in their sight, the 10 were
21:29seeing in our sight. We were like
21:31grasshoppers. But in the for these two
21:33people in their sight, they were like,
21:34"Ha, who are these giants? We will go
21:37and we will overcome that at once." They
21:39had a different image. [snorts] So many
21:41people think, "Oh, you know, brother,
21:42God is sovereign. God does what he
21:44wills." Yeah, God is sovereign and you
21:46are stupid. Yes, it was not God who
21:49decided that these 10 spies and 3 to 4
21:52million Israelites will perish in
21:54desert. It was not God. They ate the
21:58fruit of their believing. Jesus said,
22:00"Do you believe? I can do it for you."
22:03Yes, Lord. Let it be done unto you
22:06according to your faith.
22:09That means what you believe is what you
22:11receive. What you believe is what you
22:14experience. God brought them out of
22:16Egypt to make them enter into the
22:20promised land. But just because God
22:22desires something for you does not mean
22:24it will happen with you automatically.
22:26You will have to learn to partner with
22:28God. How? By seeing what he is seeing.
22:32That's why he says, "My thoughts are not
22:34your thoughts and my ways are not your
22:37ways." Abraham, I am seeing billions of
22:40kids. Abraham is seeing no kids. That's
22:43the problem. What are we focusing on?
22:45Oh, Lord, please give me, Lord, please.
22:47Lord, please, Lord, please. It won't
22:49happen by you begging, Lord, please.
22:5110,000 times. It will happen by you
22:53changing the image in your heart. People
22:55think begging is they're trying to
22:57convince God to move on their behalf.
22:58Prayer is not informing a misinformed
23:00God. He already knows all things. Prayer
23:03is downloading the image that is in his
23:06heart. A son by himself can do nothing
23:09but he does what he sees his father
23:12doing. Prayer is seeing what the father
23:14is doing. That's what a true prayer is.
23:17Not begging. Oh god give me god. Give me
23:19god give me give me give me. Don't be a
23:20Jimmy. Jimmy says give me give me. Amen.
23:24So faith is what? Believing and
23:27speaking. Now many people say I don't
23:29know what I believe. It's very easy
23:31here. What do you say? What comes out of
23:33your mouth when you're not conscious? If
23:36I had to interview five people around
23:38you, what will they say about you? Are
23:40you are you a negative person? Are you a
23:42positive person? Do you see at the
23:44bright side of life? Are you always
23:46criticizing? Are you always grumbling?
23:49Are they always focusing and talking
23:51about the problems? Because out of the
23:54abundance of heart, mouth speaks. God
23:58spoke from the abundance of his heart.
24:01What was abundance in his heart? The
24:02pictures light be and there was light
24:06and it was good. A good man out of the
24:10good treasure of his heart brings forth
24:13good things. Hear me. Good things. The
24:17images in your heart when they come out
24:19they become things. This church was an
24:23image in my heart. The crusades that we
24:25are doing was an image in my heart. I
24:27downloaded it from the father's heart. I
24:29saw what he was seeing about me. I
24:31agreed with it and then I started to
24:33confess it. Faith is believing and
24:36seeing and they are now a reality today.
24:40The first crusade that we did there were
24:41400,000 people. First one without
24:45effort. Amen. He who has believed has
24:48entered into the rest. Nicola Tesla was
24:51laboring. I'm just giving you an example
24:52so that you understand. He was
24:54wrestling. He was trying to make this AC
24:56motor da da da da da da. One day he
24:58entered into the I've made it. Somebody
25:00will say show me I'll show you but I
25:02made it but I can't see it. You'll see
25:04it in some time and everybody saw it.
25:06And because of this AC motor today the
25:09electricity is so cheap that it can
25:11travel far distances. Do you know if we
25:13had DC motors today most of the energy
25:15would be lost when the electricity was
25:18to be sent to a different distant place.
25:20one man what he saw with his heart. The
25:22entire world, 8 billion people today are
25:24reaping the benefit from what one man
25:27saw in his heart. Are you getting what
25:29I'm saying? Faith is not religious. Say
25:30after me, faith is not religious.
25:33>> No, it's a mystery. It's a law. Whatever
25:36you will behold is what you will become.
25:40Let me say that again. Whatever you will
25:42behold is what you will become. We have
25:45to be very careful what Jesus said. Do
25:47not think you will be heard because of
25:48your much speaking. Speaking comes
25:52later. Seeing comes first. When you
25:55pray, what do you see? Is the main
25:57question. Let me say that again. When
25:59you pray, what do you see? Do you know
26:02when God brought Abraham out and he
26:04said, "Abraham, look to eastward, look
26:06to northward, look to westward, look to
26:08southward. As far as your eyes can see,
26:11I have given the land to you." God
26:13didn't tell him,"Abraham, I am giving
26:15you a 500 square yard plot. Abraham, I'm
26:18giving you 1acre land." That's not what
26:20God said. And that's exactly what he
26:21does not tell us today. It's not God who
26:23puts the limit. It's your seeing that
26:25puts the limit in your life. Abraham, as
26:28far as your eyes can see, I have given
26:31it to you. Oh Lord, I can only see 10
26:33square yard. Okay? Then that is all
26:35you'll get. Lord, I can see an acre. And
26:37that also we grow in that ability. I'm
26:39not saying we become greedy in that.
26:40It's little by little. Kingdom is a step
26:43at a time. What is believing?
26:45>> Seeing. World says seeing is believing.
26:47No, believing is seeing. How many people
26:49have heard about the observer's effect?
26:52I love quantum physics because now the
26:54quantum physics has messed up Newtonian
26:56physics. There is an experiment in
26:59quantum physics. It's called observer's
27:01effect. Okay. Let me ask you how does
27:03the light exist in this world? Waves or
27:06matter? Waves, right? Light travels
27:08through waves. But there is matter as
27:10well in it. So what is sound?
27:14>> God said let there be
27:16>> in the waves. What was created?
27:19>> Let there be plants. Is plant matter?
27:21How did it come into existence? Through.
27:23>> So where was matter? In waves. So where
27:26were the plants? In waves. Where is your
27:29answer? Right now. In waves.
27:33It's an experiment. Prov. You can go.
27:36You can learn it. So this is the
27:37observer's effect. when you look it's a
27:40particle localized in a space and a
27:43time. Okay. So the scientists did an
27:45experiment. So when they were observing
27:48it was a particle. As soon as they
27:51stopped observing it became waves and it
27:54has still troubled so many quantum
27:57physicists. They just cannot wrap their
27:59head around observers effect. They do
28:02not know. How do the particles know we
28:05are looking at them? Because guess what?
28:07Everything is alive. It came out from
28:09the mouth of God.
28:13So God said, let me say that in the
28:16biblical term, the word wave became
28:19flesh, matter and dwelt among us.
28:24Yes, that's what Jesus. Don't
28:25misunderstand that. But the principle
28:27still applies. There are so many people
28:29today, they had fourth stage cancers,
28:32kidneys messed up. You know the
28:34testimonies here. If you're new, you
28:35don't know. Shwa, her ovary was taken
28:37out by surgery. And the Lord gave me a
28:39word and I spoke the word. The word went
28:42in waves and a new ovary came in her
28:46body. She went and testified and there's
28:48a new ovary. So where is your answer?
28:51What is a wave?
28:52>> The word God said and God saw. But
28:56before God said, God saw. But in the
28:59end, what God saw, everyone saw. But
29:01what God saw in the beginning, no one
29:02saw. But only God saw. What you see in
29:05the beginning, no one will see. You will
29:07see. And then you will say, and when
29:09that manifest, everyone will see. Are
29:12you seeing what I'm saying? See, that's
29:14why begging doesn't work. We are not
29:16beggars. We are the sons and daughters
29:17of King of Kings. We understand the
29:20mystery by faith. By faith, by faith,
29:23they experience victories. The dead were
29:26raised back to life. Bible says by
29:27faith. Sick are healed by faith.
29:30Victories are won by faith. Jericho wall
29:32came down by faith. That's why prayer is
29:35not ask. Asking is a very minute part of
29:39prayer. Prayer is actually partnership
29:41with your heavenly father. What do you
29:43think Jesus was doing all night in the
29:45mountain with the father? He was in the
29:47father's presence and the father was
29:49showing him things and then Jesus was
29:51seeing that and then Jesus was doing
29:53that. One image can transform your life.
29:58In the same way, one wrong image
30:01meditated enough can destroy your life.
30:04Let me tell you testmate. There was a
30:05woman and in their family every time I
30:07think they would reach 50 or 60, they
30:10would quickly die because a genetic
30:11disorder, you know, arthritis, everybody
30:13had arthritis and then there were some
30:15more problems. And then this woman heard
30:16this teaching and she understood it. And
30:18on her 50th birthday, I guess on her
30:2150th birthday, she got up with lot of
30:22pain in her fingers, joints, what does
30:25her heart say? You now have same
30:27arthritis like your mom and you're going
30:28to die in some days. But she remembered
30:30this teaching and she said, "No, I'm
30:32going to see myself with a long life."
30:35So she closed her eyes. She thanked the
30:37Lord and started seeing that she's
30:38playing piano and she's 90 years old.
30:40What is she doing? It's prayer.
30:43Hallelujah. Next day she got up with
30:45pain again. She closed her eyes. She saw
30:48and after a week the pain disappeared.
30:50Now I think it's been [music] 8 to 10
30:52years. No trace of arthritis in her
30:56life.
30:57What do you see? God told Jeremiah,
31:00Jeremiah, what do you see? I see an
31:02almond branch. You see good because I am
31:05alive. I am alert to perform my word. I
31:08watch over my word to perform it. Lord,
31:11my question is why are you watching over
31:12your word? Why don't you perform it?
31:14Because you are not seeing what I'm
31:16seeing. I want you to see what I'm
31:18[music] seeing. That's what you have to
31:20understand that on this earth, God will
31:24not do anything without partnering with
31:27a man. The only magic that many people
31:29think magic if you call it magic. Do you
31:31know the word abracadabra? Have you
31:33heard that? Abracadabra. It's a it's a
31:35Hebrew word. It means I create as I
31:37speak. Okay, coming back. I'm not saying
31:39we can create things out of thin air.
31:41That's not what I'm saying. No, we
31:42cannot create things out of thin air.
31:45But what we can definitely do is we can
31:49bring things out of the abundance of our
31:52heart because Jesus said that. Can you
31:53put Luke 6:45? I'm not saying that.
31:56Jesus said that. I want you to
31:57understand your heart is like a hard
31:59drive. What is your heart like? A hard
32:01drive. And what you are experiencing is
32:04the things coming out of your heart. The
32:07image that you have in your heart
32:08becomes a reality. Let me show you.
32:11Let's go back to Hebrews 11:1. Okay. Now
32:14faith is two things. First substance.
32:18What is faith? What is substance mean?
32:20Matter. It manifest. You can touch it.
32:23You can measure it. Faith is what?
32:25Substance of things. Hoped for. This
32:28word hope comes from the Greek word
32:31elpas which means to anticipate
32:35something to expect something good to
32:37happen. Hope is what? when you expect
32:39good things to nobody says uh you know
32:41what I am hoping that I'll meet with an
32:43accident nobody hopes that what do you
32:44hope for good things say good things so
32:46what is hope is you anticipate good
32:49things will happen to you anticipate I
32:52will have promotion you anticipate I'll
32:54get married this year you anticipate I'm
32:56going to get my business you anticipate
32:58I'm going to US for higher studies
33:00whatever good things you anticipate good
33:02that's what is hope is not I wish what
33:06is faith faith gives substance
33:09matter to what you are hoping for. So if
33:12I have to say this, hope is like a
33:14blueprint. If you have to make a house,
33:16if you have to construct a house, you
33:17bought a land, you have to construct a
33:18house. What do you do? First thing, who
33:21do you search? Architect. Then you sit
33:24with the architect and you tell him,
33:25okay, this is how I want it. I want my
33:28kitchen this way. I want my garage like
33:29this. Da da da da da. Now the architect
33:32makes it. You're like, yes. So in your
33:34heart now the house is created. [music]
33:37In the beginning God created. The house
33:41is created. Even though the house does
33:44not exist right now, you are seeing
33:46yourself going to the kitchen. You're
33:48seeing yourself going to the living
33:49room. You're seeing the house. It's the
33:52blueprint. Now you have the blueprint
33:54ready. Now what do you need? You need
33:56cement. You need wood. You need iron.
33:58You need steel. You need the substance.
34:00Faith is the substance. Hope is the
34:03blueprint. Do you get it? Why faith is
34:07not working for so many people? Because
34:09wrong teachings have robbed believers
34:12from expecting good. There are
34:14believers, they feel guilty if they
34:16expect good things to happen to them.
34:17They're like, "Oh, we are in dark and
34:19gloomy days. Nothing good is will happen
34:21to you." That's what they expect because
34:24they do not expect good things, there is
34:27no hope. and without hope, faith.
34:32If I have 10,000 bags of cement, if I
34:35have 10 quintilles of iron and wood and
34:38all of that, will I have a house? No.
34:40What do I need? Blueprint. If there is
34:43no blueprint, there is no house. But for
34:46to make a blueprint, you have to see
34:48first. That's how an architect makes a
34:49house. You can partner with God and
34:52become a co-architect of your destiny
34:54with God.
34:56That's why the Bible says we are co-
34:57lababorers with Christ. It also works
35:00both ways. What you believe in your
35:01heart, then you say it. But also what
35:04you consistently say, you start to
35:06believe it. That's why God made Abraham
35:09see that and also change his name from
35:10Abraham to Abraham, father of many
35:13nations. God calls those things which
35:16are not as if they are. He calls them
35:18come. Healing come. Jesus has spared it.
35:21Come. Faith is the substance of things.
35:25hope for. What is hope?
35:28You anticipate something with good. So
35:30that means hope is nothing but good
35:33imagination. When we started this
35:35ministry, I mean like there were people
35:36who were trying to put all kind of their
35:38unbelief on us. But till that time, God
35:40had given me a blueprint. That's what
35:42prayer is. You have to get heaven's
35:44blueprint. God told Moses exactly how
35:47the tabernacle has to be built. Do you
35:49think God only is concerned about a
35:50tabernacle and not your life? If he can
35:53tell Moses how to make a tabernacle, he
35:54can tell you how to build your business
35:56in detail. If he can tell Noah the
35:59length and breadth of the ark, he can
36:02tell you exactly how to have a good
36:04marriage. He can tell you how to build a
36:06good ministry. He can tell you how to be
36:07excellent in your office. All that you
36:09need in prayer is a blueprint from God.
36:12Not God, give me, give me, give me, give
36:13me, give me. God, show me, show me, show
36:16me, show me a blueprint. Show me what
36:19you see. When you look at me Lord, what
36:22do you see? I am Gideon and I see myself
36:25as a coward, as the least in my tribe.
36:27But when the father looks at me, he
36:29says, "Oh, mighty man of whailer."
36:33And God called those things which was
36:36not. In the natural, Gideon was a
36:39coward, but God called him a mighty
36:41warrior. And so it was. And Gideon
36:43became a mighty warrior. Because Gideon
36:46could bring his images under and
36:49receive, "Father, I will call myself
36:52what you call me." Amen. That's why if
36:54you pray and you speak all the time,
36:56it's monologue. And prayer was supposed
36:58to be a dialogue. In the prayer, you
37:00should hear more. I'm not saying don't
37:02speak. I'm saying, "Oh Lord, oh Lord,
37:04give me that Lord, give me that Lord,
37:05copy that Lord, paste Lord, let Xerox
37:06that Lord, cut that Lord. Oh Lord in the
37:08name of Jesus save him save her blah
37:10blah d in Jesus name. Amen. And the lord
37:14do you know I still remember that time
37:16because I was sitting in Kolkata airport
37:18and just waiting for my flight and the
37:20father started to speak to me and he
37:21said son how does faith come? I said
37:23father faith comes by hearing. He said
37:24that's right. If you haven't heard it
37:27you don't have faith for it. Faith is
37:29not reckless. So many people want to do
37:32something because they have seen others
37:33do it when they have not heard it
37:34themselves.
37:36Peter walked in water because Jesus when
37:38he asked Jesus, Jesus said come. That's
37:40why there are so many people who have
37:42tried to copy a testimony and it has not
37:44worked for them because they are trying
37:46to get a formula. Your father is a
37:49personal father. He knows what you want.
37:52Ask him and he will show you. Ask of me
37:54and I will show you great and mighty
37:56things [music] that you do not know.
37:58When we started the ministry, we were
38:00like only 40, 50, 60 people. And uh I
38:02still remember we were living in Rajori
38:04Garden. I was just walking and praying
38:05in tongues and talking to the father and
38:07I said lord I don't want many people I
38:09don't just give me like few people whom
38:10I can handle you know a few people and
38:12the father said why not my son ask and I
38:16will give nations to be your inheritance
38:19what is that he's saying something so
38:21when he said it in his word was what an
38:24image of what [music] nations and then
38:27nations opened up in the beginning it
38:30will be a challenge and just for God's
38:32glory I'm telling you today even in
38:34India India, we have my team knows it.
38:35We have 84 pending crusade request. 84
38:39in this nation and many in another
38:42countries.
38:43Now the word became flesh. What was the
38:48word? Ask of me and I will give nations
38:51to be your inheritance. What was God
38:52doing? He was stretching my ability to
38:55believe. That's why it's very important
38:57to hear, not just speak in prayer, but
39:00hear what your father is saying to you.
39:02Amen. So as faith is the substance of
39:06things hoped for,
39:11fear is also the same. Fear gives
39:14substance all the negative that you
39:16expect. And how do you expect negative?
39:18You see it. You you're driving a car and
39:21you saw an accident. Suddenly the enemy
39:23gives you a picture. You cannot expect
39:25anything without imagination. Amen. Is
39:28that making sense? And let me show you
39:30how. Fear is exactly it's the same
39:34principle. If I can say it like this,
39:36fear is faith in the negative. Faith is
39:39when you trust God's ability to perform
39:42what you have believed. Fear is when you
39:45trust devil's ability to harm you. Job
39:473:25, for the things I greatly feared
39:51had come upon me. That means Job exactly
39:54knew what he greatly feared. What does
39:56greatly fear? That means he was seeing
39:58these negative things happening in his
40:00imagination all the time. Job was seeing
40:03things what things. What did I tell you?
40:06Things manifest good or bad out of the
40:08abundance of your heart. The things that
40:10I greatly fear. What was his faith? Oh,
40:12nothing wrong should happen to my kids.
40:13Nothing wrong should happen to my kids.
40:15Nothing wrong should So what was he
40:16doing? He was constantly offering
40:17sacrifices to God so that his kids will
40:20not die. Those kind of sacrifices will
40:22not be accepted because those sacrifice
40:24were tainted by fear. So many believers
40:27tithe out of fear and that's why they
40:29have not seen blessing because many
40:31pastors say if you don't give tithe God
40:33will take it in a hospital bill. Oh
40:35really? So they have made God the father
40:38Godfather. Tithing is not a hush money.
40:41You don't give tithe out of fear. You
40:43don't bring an offering out of fear. God
40:46does not accept sacrifice tainted with
40:49fear. He receives a sacrifice mixed with
40:51faith. So many times people will come to
40:54me and they'll say can you pray for me?
40:55Can you pray for me? Oh man of God, pray
40:57for me that I will not have loss in my
40:59business. I said, what stupid prayer is
41:00that? With the same amount of words,
41:03with the same energy, why don't you
41:05change the prayer? Rather than saying, I
41:06should not have loss. Okay, Lord, let
41:08him not have loss. If you'll be in zero,
41:10will you be okay? But because they are
41:11loss conscious, their praise, let I may
41:14not have loss. Why can't you say Lord
41:16let I may have an awesome profit this
41:18month? Are you getting what I'm saying?
41:20It's the image in their heart. What is
41:22the image? Loss. So what are they
41:23praying? Lord, that I may not have loss.
41:25Lord I Lord I will not have loss. Lord I
41:27will not have and then there is loss and
41:28then what is this man? I prayed. I went
41:30to church. I swed a seed. Why do I lose?
41:32The things you have greatly feared have
41:34come upon you my brother. Understand the
41:36principles through which the kingdom
41:38works. Amen. Understand this. Fear gives
41:42access to devil. People don't understand
41:44why devil was able to go before the Lord
41:45and ask for Job. Who gave him access?
41:47Job did. Fear gives access to devil.
41:49Why? Because read this carefully. The
41:52things that I have greatly feared have
41:53come. So devil was only able to strike
41:56Job in the area he greatly feared not in
41:59any other area. If you don't fear devil
42:02cannot touch you. Hallelujah.
42:04You are guarded by faith. That's why
42:07devil tries to bring fear. Before cancer
42:10can kill someone. The fear comes in and
42:12they've already died. They've already
42:14lost the battle before they die. My
42:16friend, I'm telling you about my friend.
42:17He's a pastor. His mom had a fear. I
42:19will not have cancer. I'll not have
42:20cancer. Always praying. Lord, I what
42:22happened? She had cancer because all the
42:24time imagining I should not have cancer.
42:26I should not have cancer. I should not
42:28have she had praise God today she's
42:30completely healed by the Lord because
42:31she understood the teaching started to
42:33apply the teaching started to speak the
42:35word because what you behold is what you
42:38are transformed into. I was reading this
42:41about this guy who had been a child
42:44psychiatrist a very well-known child
42:46very respectable helped so many children
42:49and then he got retired. So one day he
42:51got a thought it's a true story. One day
42:52he got a thought in his head, let me
42:54read about what happens to these people
42:56who sexually abuse kids. Why do they do
42:59this? Because he was like, what is going
43:01in their psyche? Why are they trying to
43:03abuse little kids? So he started to read
43:06about these criminals, these pedophiles,
43:08these child molesters. And he read and
43:11he read and he read and he read and he
43:13read and what happened? Became one
43:15himself. He was sentenced to life
43:17imprisonment. And he's like, I don't
43:19know how I got those desires. How did he
43:21get those desires? Because he started to
43:23behold. And what you behold is that what
43:25you become. That's why be very careful
43:28what you watch, what you hear, what you
43:31allow between your eyes, what you allow
43:33between your ears. Because you are going
43:35to become what you behold.
43:38[music]
43:39That's why let me give you a million
43:41dollar, a billion dollar, a trillion
43:43dollar advice. Do not Google your
43:45symptoms because whatever you're going
43:47through, Google will tell you you're
43:49about to die. It's a bad idea to go to
43:51Google and say I'm having this what is
43:53that cancer are you getting it church
43:55fear constant whatever I've greatly
43:58feared I was hearing a testimony of a
44:00man of God a very amazing man of God but
44:02his daughter was always sick always sick
44:04and he was like I used to be so I used
44:06to love my daughter but he was so afraid
44:09because she was constantly in bad health
44:11and one day the Lord said why don't you
44:14trust me for your daughter can't I
44:16preserve your daughter so this man of
44:18God what he did was he went to the Lord
44:20one day and he said, "Lord, she's your
44:21daughter before you gave her to me. I
44:24completely give that care to you, Lord."
44:25And he said, "The moment I did that, his
44:27daughter stopped falling in.
44:31[music]
44:32Casting all your cares upon him for he
44:33cares for you." When you cast your cares
44:36on the Lord, devil will find no area to
44:38devour you. [applause]
44:41When I was reading the scripture and I
44:42was like, "Okay, Lord, why does it go
44:44together? Cast your care upon the Lord."
44:47And then the Bible says, "Be vigilant.
44:48Be sober." Because he is looking for the
44:50areas you are fearing. You are you have
44:53lot of care in your heart. What will
44:55happen in that area? He's trying to
44:56constantly give you a wrong image. Amen.
44:59Think about this. It was not the giants
45:01that killed those people. These people
45:04saw the same giants. These two saw the
45:07same giants. It was what they beholded
45:10in their heart. Giants don't have the
45:13power to kill you. It's what we behold.
45:16That's why it's very important if you
45:18want to know what kind of person you
45:19are, see who are the people you attract
45:21around you. Are they negative people who
45:23are constantly criticizing, seeing the
45:25negative side of things? Then that's
45:27exactly who you are. I'm sorry to say
45:28that. Do you have people who are come
45:30with you? They're talking about vision.
45:32They're talking about going ahead. They
45:33are talking about, you know, doing great
45:35things for the Lord, doing exploits for
45:37the Lord. Then that's who you are. The
45:38birds of the same feather flock
45:40together. If you are an eagle, you're
45:42going to attract eagles in your life. If
45:44you're a crow, you're going to attract
45:45crows. But the good news is you can
45:47change the image of a crow and you can
45:50behold the image of an eagle and that's
45:51exactly who you will become
45:55because you are transformed into the
45:56image that you behold. Why does the
45:59Bible tells us to meditate God's word?
46:02Why the problem is church has made Bible
46:04a religious book. Coming to church a
46:06it's not a religious center. We think
46:08prayer is religious. We think giving is
46:10religious. This is not religious at all.
46:12when God tells you to meditate in his
46:14word because when you meditate God gives
46:16you images amen [snorts] and when God
46:18gives you images and you start to behold
46:21that image that's exactly what you will
46:23have the way the Lord taught me this
46:24principle is we had gone to party that
46:27is the place where I was born and there
46:29is a stadium is there anybody who was
46:31with me in that day old people I think
46:33yeah all the leaders have gone to the
46:35branches now so we had a team of people
46:38we had gone to do evangelism and we were
46:39there it's I think the third highest in
46:41Asia or something like that. It's it's
46:43it's a very high altitude if there is
46:44this cricket stadium and as we went
46:46there it started to rain heavy downpour
46:49okay and as it was raining everybody
46:52started to run in different direction we
46:53were like 20 30 people everybody ran and
46:55as I'm there the Lord spoke to me and he
46:57said call everyone back and I want you
46:59to stop the rain a true story you can
47:00ask with all the leaders so I called
47:02everybody I said come here it's raining
47:04it's not drizzling it's raining downpour
47:06I called everybody and when I looked at
47:09the clouds this gray cloud it's raining
47:11but in my heart. I'm seeing the image of
47:13sun shining with blue sky. What was
47:15that? That was the image of God. What am
47:17I beholding? Rain. But what am I was
47:19beholding in my heart? And we took
47:20authority and within 10 minutes rain
47:23stopped. The clouds went it was a blue
47:24sky.
47:26Why are so many people sick in their
47:28sickness in the bed of sickness for
47:30years? Because they cannot change the
47:32image of sickness in their heart. You
47:34change the image in your heart first it
47:36manifests in your life later. Amen. So
47:39what happened with Job? the things that
47:40he greatly feared came upon him. How
47:43many of you have heard the story of
47:44Jacob and the speckled and spotted, the
47:47goats, the lambs. Okay, if you have not,
47:49go home and read Genesis 30. How many
47:52people have heard people say if there is
47:54a pregnant mom, they say, "Behold the
47:56image of a beautiful baby." Have you
47:57heard that? What if I told you that's
47:59absolutely true? You will be shocked
48:01biologically. I have seen families and
48:03please understand what I'm saying.
48:04There's a family and when I saw the boy,
48:06I said, "Are you adopted?" I said, "You
48:08do not look like your mom and you do not
48:09look like your dad." He used to look
48:11handsome, so dashing, different. I'm
48:14telling you the truth, different. I
48:15said, "How?" I said, "Bro, you are
48:17adopted. You should ask your parents."
48:18And then he went and he asked his mom.
48:20And his mom said, "No, I behold the
48:22image of a beautiful baby when you were
48:24born. But I didn't do that for your
48:25brother and sister." Now, it looks like
48:27a joke, but it is the reality. And I'll
48:29show you from Genesis 30. It is the
48:30truth. You become what you behold. Okay?
48:33your young people giving you an advice
48:35when you get married and you have kids
48:38don't put the image of a grumpy
48:40okay this real story there was a boy in
48:43US and he got f he saw a documentary of
48:46Adolf Hitler in his school and got
48:48fascinated with Hitler how he used to
48:49talk how he used to dress his mannerisms
48:51the authority in his voice so he went
48:53home and started to watch videos about
48:55Adolf Hitler put a poster behind his uh
48:57door about of Adolf Hitler and used to
48:59behold that poster and look at that
49:01poster and he made Adolf Hitler his
49:03hero. Now it was okay till then but
49:05slowly his mom and dad started to notice
49:07that his mannerism started to change.
49:09His personality began to change. His
49:11behavior started to change. And then one
49:13day they were in the church in a church
49:15in US. This boy has never been to
49:18Germany. This boy has does not know
49:20German. And as the pastor is preaching
49:23and he gets up and started to curse the
49:24pastor in pure German. And there were
49:26some German people and they heard
49:28everything he was saying. He was
49:29pronouncing a curse on the pastor. So he
49:30took authority over the spirit. And then
49:32this spirit spoke. That spirit said, "I
49:35am one of the 6,000 demons that was in a
49:38dolphin." True story. What you behold
49:40can attract demons, can attract angels,
49:43can attract the hand of God, can attract
49:45Satan. [music] You decide what you
49:47behold. The image that you behold. Seean
49:50way,
49:53that's what God told him. He said, "What
49:54are you doing?" He said, "I was just
49:55walking up and down. I came to the
49:56heaven." That's what exactly that's what
49:57he says. This fellow has no job.
50:03That's what he was doing.
50:06So he's looking for someone. That's why
50:08Bible says be vigilant. Do you know the
50:10word vigilant is an army term? Who is
50:12vigilant? A police officer, an army
50:14officer. They are vigilant. So the Bible
50:15says be vigilant because you have an
50:17adversary and he is looking for
50:19opportunity to destroy your life. But
50:21devil does not have the kind of power
50:22people think he has. If devil has so
50:24much power, hey devil, make this roof
50:26fall on us. He cannot. Don't worry, I'm
50:28preaching this message for many years.
50:36Some like
50:38come on. It's time that the church has
50:41more trust in God's ability to preserve
50:43us than devil's ability to harm us.
50:47Hallelujah. Put Luke 10:19. Okay. So
50:50hear this. Devil does not have the kind
50:53of power we think. He cannot come in
50:54your room and while you're sleeping kill
50:56you. Cannot do that. But how he kills
50:58you is he has a jurisdiction in which he
51:00works. He's a spirit. How does he do it?
51:02He will give you images. He will speak
51:04lies in your ears. When you believe his
51:06word, you will accept his image. He
51:09sends you email, delete them, put them
51:11in spam, delete forever. Don't open the
51:13attachment that he sends you. Amen. He's
51:16going to hack your life like that like
51:17hackers do these days. They send you an
51:19attachment and inside that attachment is
51:22a virus. Okay? So, devil knows how to
51:25destroy you. How? because he knows
51:27you're made in the image of God. So
51:28whatever you behold, you're going to
51:30become. What is blessing and curse? So
51:32that you words are not mere noise.
51:34People think words is noise. So they
51:36think, "Oh, I didn't mean that. I didn't
51:38mean that." The spiritual world doesn't
51:40care. How many times did Peter deny
51:43Jesus? How many times?
51:45>> Was it any other disciple that denied
51:47Jesus apart from Peter in the 12 group?
51:49>> No. Was it anyone that Jesus went to and
51:51said, "Do you love me?" "Yes, Lord." "Do
51:54you love me?" "Yes, Lord." Peter, do you
51:56love me? Yes, Lord. How many times?
51:58Three. Why? Because Peter denied him
52:00three times. Some people say,
52:02"Confession doesn't work for me." Yeah,
52:04because you have been speaking nonsense
52:06for 40 years. It will take some time to
52:08reverse that.
52:12Amen. Luke 10:19. What is the first
52:14word?
52:15>> Hear this. If you don't behold it, it
52:18doesn't work for you. If you don't
52:20behold it, it does not work for you.
52:22That means you have to behold that you
52:26have authority to trample upon snakes
52:29and scorpions. You'll have to behold it.
52:32What does behold mean? You'll have to
52:33observe it. You will have to see
52:35yourself. I am a man of authority. I am
52:38a daughter of authority. Amen. I have
52:40authority. Behold. Wherever the Bible
52:43says behold, Bible exactly means what
52:45the Bible says. Behold.
52:53If you don't behold it, even though
52:55Jesus gave you authority, you will live
52:57as a person without authority. And a
52:59person with authority who does nothing
53:02with that authority is no different than
53:04a person who is without authority.
53:06Behold in your heart, behold, I give you
53:08the authority to trample on. That means
53:10when you sit in a room, you behold, man,
53:13no witchcraft can work on me. You behold
53:15it. Say this after me. I am uncursible.
53:17I am uncursible. You need to behold it.
53:20When me and my wife we were really
53:21struggling financially and uh we saved
53:24some money and I guess we saved 5,000
53:26rupees and in that 5,000 rupees you know
53:29daily summer in that 5,000 rupees we
53:31bought a secondhand AC from a girl that
53:34we knew in the church and she said I'm
53:36shifting I'm going to Bangalore or
53:37somewhere and I'll give you my AC and
53:39just give me 5,000 and we're like yay
53:415,000. So we gave her we sent the 5,000
53:44rupees and then we got to know she took
53:45the AC and she took the 5,000 and that's
53:48all that we had and then not only that
53:50she started to spread so much rumors
53:52about us because she knew that people
53:53are going to ask her so before you know
53:55that's what people do if they have to
53:56make their case stronger they will
53:57slander you and she started to slander
53:59us and I was just praying in my room and
54:01the father told me she's releasing a
54:03curse over you I want you to bless her
54:05and that is the day I understood why
54:07Jesus you know it's not religious bless
54:09those who curse you okay Lord I'll bless
54:11no it's not religious The Lord actually
54:13showed me behind the scenes what
54:14happens. And when I blessed her, the
54:17moment I blessed her, I saw like a
54:19serpent coming towards me. And then as I
54:21blessed her, I saw a serpent going from
54:23my side to her. And the serpent from my
54:25side swallowed the serpent that was
54:27coming towards me. The blessing of the
54:29Lord is a thousand times [music] more
54:31powerful than any curse that is sent
54:33against you. That's why Jesus tells you
54:36to to bless somebody. Amen. Blessings
54:38are powerful, but what do you behold is
54:40the question. What do you behold? 2
54:42Corinthians 5:17 put there. Why are so
54:44many people not able to live as new
54:46creation? We'll see that the answer is
54:47there in the verse. Therefore, if anyone
54:50is in Christ, he is a new creation. Old
54:52things have after that be
54:55>> whole. Old things have passed away. Oh,
54:58pastor, you don't know where you know 20
55:01years ago. Behold, sister, old things
55:04have Yes. Yes. Amen to that. But listen
55:07to me, pastor. You're not hearing what
55:09happened to me 20 years ago. Sister,
55:12behold, old things have passed away.
55:17Behold, old things have passed away. If
55:23you will not behold it, you will keep
55:25singing the same songs. You will keep
55:27changing churches. You will tell the
55:28pastor the same song, he will get
55:30frustrated as all of your friends are
55:32frustrated. And then you'll change the
55:33church. And then you'll change your
55:34friend group. They'll go somewhere else
55:36and you'll sing the same song until you
55:38behold that all the old things [singing]
55:41have passed away. [music]
55:43Behold, all things have become new.
55:48Hallelujah. Behold, all things have
55:52become new. Hallelujah.
55:55Some people are so caught up with what
55:57happened to them that their life froze
55:59at that very moment and they're never
56:00able to come out of that. They keep
56:01talking about that same. It's like you
56:03don't allow the wound to get healed.
56:05They are suffering the same pain because
56:07they keep talking about it. Nobody
56:10understands me. We are not trying to
56:12belittle the suffering. But talking
56:14about it again and again is not the
56:16solution. The solution is behold all the
56:20old things have [music] passed away. You
56:23are not the same person who was abused,
56:26who are misused, who was taken advantage
56:28of, who was betrayed. You are a new
56:31creation now. All things have become
56:35new. Hallelujah. Say, I'm a new
56:37creation. I'm a new creation.
56:39>> Hallelujah. I'm a new creation.
56:42Behold. Every time God talks about new
56:45things, he says, behold, I make all
56:46things new. Behold. Hey, I'm making all
56:48new things. But you have to see it. The
56:50promise, we are not seeing what the Lord
56:52is doing. So what happens is we don't
56:54see the Bible. We intellectually only
56:56read the Bible. So there was a fellow
56:59called Jacob. Jacob had an uncle. His
57:01uncle was a wicked man and he was taking
57:03advantage of him. So Jacob finally
57:05thought I'm going to part ways with my
57:06uncle. So Jacob's uncle had lot of
57:09sheeps, lot of goats, lot of lambs. So
57:12Jacob made a plan. I mean like God told
57:13him this plan. So he goes to his uncle
57:14and he says, "Uncle most of his sheeps
57:16and goats and lambs were solid color,
57:18right? Black were black, white were
57:19white. But there were few, very few, one
57:21or two person which had some spots,
57:23blemishes, you know. So Jacob told his
57:26uncle, "Let's have a deal, uncle. The
57:28deal is you take all the solid, give all
57:30the speckled, all the spotted, all those
57:32sheeps and goats to me." The uncle was
57:34very happy. Uncle said, "Awesome." Said,
57:36"What a foolish man." Because when the
57:38solid color animals will mate, they will
57:40produce a solid color baby, right? So
57:43what Jacob did was he took an almond
57:45branch and he made like a white stripes,
57:48right? He took out the bark or whatever
57:51the outside skin and made like white
57:53stripes in that. And whenever the
57:54animals came to the river to mate, he
57:56kept that in front of the animals. And
57:58the animal the the females saw
58:01[clears throat] saw and the solid
58:03colored sheeps and goats produced
58:06striped or spotted babies. Whenever the
58:10strong animals will come, he will put
58:12that rod. Whenever weak will come, he
58:14will remove that. So what happened? All
58:16the strong sheeps and goats, all of them
58:19became spotted, speckled and all the
58:22weak were the solid. And Jacob using
58:25this principle became very wealthy. The
58:28Bible says hear this. Even physically
58:31and spiritually it has a message. So
58:33what you see affects what you produce.
58:37What you see affects what you produce.
58:40Not just biologically [music] but your
58:43job, the business, whatever ministry.
58:46That's why whenever I'm training
58:48pastors, I'm trying to stretch their
58:50faith to believe for a big ministry
58:51because if they cannot see it, they
58:53cannot be it. See to be. Amen.
58:57>> God saw and he said light be and light
59:00was. And then when you have seen it,
59:04then you start to declare it. What is
59:07faith? It's believing and it's speaking.
59:11What is believing? Believing is, come on
59:13man, you've learned today what many
59:15believers don't know outside.
59:18[music]
59:19This is faith simplified. So that means
59:22from today be very careful what you
59:24behold in your heart. Especially what
59:26you behold the image that you have in
59:28your heart. Your transformation depends
59:30upon the image being changed in your
59:32heart. Amen. Hallelujah.
59:35Champions of faith are rising up from
59:37this place. [music]
59:40Amen. The word that has been swn in your
59:43heart, it will bear 30fold, 60fold, and
59:47100fold fruit in the name of Jesus.
59:50Amen. We love you. We bless you.
