The Fullness and the Fire

Volume 1: Part 1

here there is fullness, there

is fire! Hallelujah!

Acts 1:1-9 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus

began both to do and teach, (2) Until the day in which he was taken up,

after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the

apostles whom he had chosen: (3) To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion

by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the thingspertaining to the kingdom of God: (4) And, being assembled together with them,

commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of theFather, which,saith he,ye have heard of me. (5)For John truly baptized with water; but ye

shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. (6) When they therefore were

come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again thekingdom to Israel? (7) And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the

seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (8) But ye shall receive power, after

that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and

ye shall be witnesses unto me both in

Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and inSamaria, and unto the uttermost part of the

earth. (9) And when he had spoken these

things, while they beheld, he was taken up;

and a cloud received him out of their sight.

Christianity is not a religion. Many dontunderstand this and many dont understand

the difference. Its the God life in the human

person. Thats what Christianity is. A lot of

us havent understood what Jesus came todo and for many of us its still theoretical

and for some of us we are just growing to begin to understand. Theres so much in and aboutChristianity. God says inHosea 4:6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because

thou hast rejected knowledge

Knowledge is very important. Revelation is vital. Its only by revelation that one can break a

stronghold. Strongholds cannot be broken by faith or by prayer. They can only be broken by

revelation. Teaching ministry is very important for that purpose. What is a stronghold? Thereare two types of strongholds. External and internal. External ones are satanic or human, built

to deter us from doing or achieving Gods purpose. Internal strongholds are the interplay of

thoughts and imaginations that characterise the conflicts that takes place in our minds.Thought patterns that govern peoples minds for a protracted period. These thought patterns

may result as a persons background or experience or the result of erroneous religious

theories and postulations held over a protracted period. For example its hard for some people

to believe that God performs miracles. They say to fool themselves but deep down their

minds they are bounded by a stronghold. What they actually believe is that its some

psychological effect as a result of ones extreme belief in God that makes the miracle happen.

These folks cannot believe because of this stronghold and they wont get a miracle in that

condition. Some kiss the Bible every time it falls on the ground thinking that God is now sofurious about it and He is about to get up from His throne and come against you. When you

W

write God you should write with a capital Gor God is mad at you. These are strongholds.You think God is going to put you in hell for writing God with a simple g? This very God

so loved the sinners, prostitutes and the murderers that He so loved that He gave His onlybegotten Son for these immoral savage people and now this very God you think is going to

put you in hell for writing God with a simple g? Some have an attitude towards the

Christian denominations stronghold. Some believe only the first century Christians canperform miracles again stronghold. They never read it in the Bible but they are bounded by

this stronghold. They read in their Bible that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and

forever yet they believe only the first century could perform miracles. Stronghold! When

some people dont understand that God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one. Again

this is a stronghold. Maybe youve had one of them and are now made free. Faith and prayercannot help this situation. You have to study the Bible and find your way out yourself.Hosea

6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD If you read 2 Corinthians 10:4youll find how to pull down these strongholds. We will come to know as we keep pressing

on because we want to know. Hallelujah!

One reason you study many people who are called in to the ministry, theres a supernaturalpulling of them to the Bible and the Church even in their childhood. Something happened and

something happened and they found a Bible and read it and read it and read it again and again

at very early stages in their lives. At that time maybe they are not born again but they are

always pulled to the Gospel. Why? There are certain people that God has separated forHimself. They are born to fulfil a call. Thats what you call the person is called to serve God

and His people. God separated Paul even when he was the Saul of Tarsus. It was Gods willfor him to be an academic. A scholar and a lawyer. He was trained in the law. Study Pauls

life he was a very studious person. When any man is chosen of God to be used in an unusual

manner, God permits him to go through a training period, which sometimes includes trials

and tribulations of the most severe nature. When you study the word the strongholds are

pulled down. So God has done every possible thing for these people to go to Sunday School

and read their own Bible and so on. That they wont be held in bondage and when the time is

come they step into the office. Its a beautiful journey!

You though one day when you made Jesus the Lord over your life, you though you came into

a nice moral religion. Nice style of living. It is not a style of living but it has a style of living.

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you

Now prior to this time Jesus has said to His disciplesJohn 14:17 the Spirit of truth; whom

the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for

he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

There is a difference between the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament and

the New Testament. The Holy Spirit is the 3rdperson to be revealed to the Church but the 1st

to be revealed by the Word.

The word is the logos of God. It was that logos which is the revelation of God. The word thatproceeds from the Father. The word is the spoken revelation. The revelation in the word.It is

the thought of God clothed with vocabulary that proceeds from the Father. The Holy Ghost

is the He [the person] that proceeds from the Father. The word didnt have any personality

but the personality of the speaker all the time it was there until the word was made flesh and

dwelt among us.Thats where Jesus came from.

Some people think that Jesus was walking around in heaven, playing with the angels and thenthe Holy Spirit now turned Jesus into a little seed and put it into a womb of a virgin. The

Bible says that the word became flesh. He was never called Jesus there. These people thinkJesus was moving around in heaven and God spoke and said Son, come over here. Would

you like to go down to earth?There was nothing like that. Study it for yourself. You know

people like to make things up.1 John 5:7-8 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the

Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (8) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the

Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

The New Testament doesnt begin from the birth of Jesus as your book binding man thoughtand placed a blank page before the book of Matthew saying The New Testament. The New

Testament began from the resurrection of Jesus. Study the book of Hebrews and understandthe new covenant. Only very few people have understood the book of Hebrews and those are

the ones who have the supernatural manifestations.

All the time in the Old Testament the Holy Spirit came to earth as the angel of Godspresence. Because you cannot see God. Youll blow up. It takes the Holy Spirit to bring the

presence of the Father and lead people. You cannot hear God when He speaks for He speaks

with thundering and lightning. You cannot get Him.Psalms 29:9 The voice of the LORD

maketh the hinds to calve, and strips the forests bare:Some other times Gods words may sound like many waters and you dont understand. It

takes the Holy Spirit to bring the Word of God to your heart. He is the one that proceeds fromthe Father. Father God doesnt move left right or centre. He doesnt move here or there. He is

on the throne eternally. When He wants to move, he doesnt go like a man who gets up and

move. He proceeds from Him. While He is still here, He goes there. He proceeds from here to

there and He remains here while He is doing something over there He can go out somewhere

else and on and on and on and on. Ever eternal one. That on that proceeds from Him is the

Holy Spirit. Thats the Holy Spirit. When God speaks its the Holy Spirit brings it to pass.

One who cause it to happen.Job 26:13By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand

hath formed the crooked serpent.When the Word became flesh and walked among us. Jesus. He has the life of God but that

didnt mean that the Father lived in Him. The Spirit has personality. The word has gainedindividual personality. He has taken human form. He has now taken a different form. A

separate entity from the Father. He is now another person from the Father. The only separate

person from the Father was the Holy Ghost. Now the word has become a separate person.

The Bible calls him the 2ndAdam. He too must become complete with deity. Complete with

the fullness of God. He is the offspring of God but He must become complete. He mustbecome as His Father. He has the same life with him but now He is going to have the same

spirit with Him. So the Bible tells us that the river Jordan when John was baptising the

Heavens opened and the Spirit of God descended upon Jesus. John saw the Spirit descend inthe form of a dove. The Spirit is not a dove but He saw the Holy Spirit descend in the form of

a dove upon Jesus. Rested upon him. John sees this vision and he cries out because God gavehim a sign. John was a prophet. God said You are the one to show the Christ to Israel. John

said How am I going to know?and God said The one upon whom you see the Holy Spirit

descend in the form of dove is the one that baptises with the Holy Ghost and with fire John

saw this and cried out. The Holy Spirit didnt fill anybody else. Then the Holy Spirit began

His ministry with Jesus. He came for a purpose. The first thing He did when He came upon

Jesus was first He showed Him how to handle the flesh. Self-denial. The next thing was howto handle the devil. Jesus was led up into the wilderness. Jesus fasted 40 days before the devil


5/51


Page 4

came. Self-denial. Stayed away from food and became hungry. The hunger comes and youdeny. Jesus became hungry and at the end the devil came because the devil couldnt stop him

from fasting.If thou be the Son of God then command these stones to be bread.Remember itwas the Holy Spirit who took Jesus and the Bible says to be tempted. The Holy Spirit led

Him there. The Holy Spirit was teaching Jesus how to use the word of God but the man

himself was the word and yet the Holy Ghost is showing Jesus how to defeat the devil. If theman who himself was the word made flesh needed to be taught by the Holy Ghost, how much

more that you who only knowsMatthew, Mark, Luke John Bless the bed that I lay on!? You

only know them in the night time. Only know you feel the pain in your head.

When the devil tempted Jesus, Jesus said It is written.. Jesus didnt say Hey! Do youknow who you are talking to? I am the Son of God!Jesus was the saying the devil what the

word says. I am the Word is not the word. Then the devil left and the angels came andministered Jesus. After that Jesus came to town in the power of the Spirit. Glory to God.

Walked into the synagogue and the folks saw this young man the son of Joseph as they

knew him and said Hey you boy, you are taking the first reading today! The master of the

synagogue asked Jesus to read it. Luke 4. Jesus didnt read it like the Scribes nor thePharisees. Didnt read like the ever-singing Catholics. Aaa..mm..eeen.. Hoo---oolly. Not

like that. He read that and said Today this scripture is fulfilled before you all..The Bible

says that everybody turned around and started looking at Jesus. Then somebody cried out in

the congregation Yeeahhh...!!!!!!and the others said Hey hey.. Please..dont disturb.. cooldown man.. this is a church!They didnt know that there was a demon in that man. Jesus

said Hold thy peace, and come out of him!in other words Shut up and come out.forhis word was with power.

What kind of power? There was something about Jesus. It was not because He was Jesus but

because of the Holy Ghost. The Bible says Jesus left all the glory and came to earth taking a

form of a man. He is the Son of God but didnt come as the Son of God. Instead came like a

man. Only after the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus He was different. Hes a changed man. He

spoke with power. This is what God expects of us. There is no Christianity without the Holy

Spirit.Acts 1:2 KJV Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy

Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:Jesus gave commandments to the apostles through the Holy Ghost. He spoke to them through

the Holy Ghost.Hebrews 9:14 KJV How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through

the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead

works to serve the living God?

Jesus offered himself through the Holy Ghost. Everything Jesus did, He did it through the

Holy Ghost. You cannot live the Christian life without the Holy Ghost.

The ultimate question isHow do you do it through the Holy Ghost?

Romans 8:12-13 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.(13) For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the

deeds of the body, ye shall live.

You can only do it through the Holy Ghost. Even when we worship him or pray to God is

done through the Holy Ghost. Anything that you do without the Holy Ghost is unacceptable.

Understand that this is a world of darkness and sin. Anything coming from earth must of

necessity be purified lest it is not acceptable to God. What you give to him cant get to him.

Its only the Holy Spirit can sanctify what you want to give to God. Thats the life hes calledus to live. Thats the reason the people who are not born again pray to God but those prayers


6/51


Page 5

are not heard in heaven. God has no attention to those prayers. Many think that all the rubbishthey say in prayer is heard in heaven.

When you are born again, you become a child of God. You do this in accordance to Romans

10:9-10. You have to believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confess

honestly with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord over your life. That means the Bible the wordof God has the final say in your life and not your opinions. Period! Then you are born with

the life of God in you. But to live here, you have to have the power of God. You can only live

here by the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Thats what the anointing is really all about. The

anointing of God is the presence of God. The anointing is the glory of God.

Isaiah 11:1-4 KJV And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch

shall grow out of his roots: (2) And thespirit of the LORDshall rest upon him, the spirit of

wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of

the fear of the LORD; (3) And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the

LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of

his ears: (4) But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for themeek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath

of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

Verse 3 says that the Holy Spirit makes him quick understanding. The same reason whymany Bible students always read the Bible. Almost like 24/7.

Let me have your attention to the highlighted text. These are the 7 spirits of God referred to

again in Revelation 1:4, Revelation 3:1, Revelation 4:5, Revelation 5:6. This is the fullness of

Gods Holy Spirit. The problem is many are not full of Gods Spirit. All the Old Testament

people had the Spirit of God in measure.

Joshua had the Spirit of Wisdom. Not the Spirit of might.

Samson had the Spirit of Might. Not wisdom.

When the Holy Spirit is working in your life, things are different.Now watch this man now::-

Judges 14:5Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came

to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.

Ok now what do you have in your Bible? What did Samson do? Samson cried out Daddy

Daddy DaddyIs that what you have in your Bible?

Judges 14:6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he

would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or hismother what he had done.

The Spirit came upon Samson, he was changed. He got a hold of the lion and went on. Same

happened with David. Again with Samson. The Philistines shouted at him.Judges 15:14-15And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the

Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became

as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. (15) And he found

a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men

therewith.

When the Spirit came upon Samson, he was a different man. Holy Spirit gives you boldness.

Might overcomes strength.

The spirit of the Lord is what the prophets needed to talk to the kings whom they were afraidof. This Spirit of the Lord will put you in charge of the situation. When you need boldness to

dominate the circumstances, to be able to speak out without timidity they needed the Spirit ofthe Lord. Thats why its always said The Spirit of the Lord came upon him. The Spirit of the

Lord. This is the Spirit of Lordship. He takes charge and the one before you can do nothing.

He said to Moses no man will be able to stand before you, all the days of your life . He talkedto Joshua and said as I was with Moses, so shall I not fail you nor forsake you and no one will

be able to stand against you all the days of your life. The Spirit of the Lord.

There was a young prophet in the Bible named Azariah. All the prophets who talked to kings,

talked boldly. 2 Chronicles 15:1-2(1) And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son ofOded: (2) And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah

and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will befound of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

When King Hezekiah was misbehaving and was sick the prophet Isaiah came in. This little

rat walked right into the Kings house and instead of saying O King live forever! Isaiahsaid Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live!Many of you bluff and yet

inside you, theres a fellow hiding in fear. This is the Spirit of the Lord. You are in charge no

matter what happens.

The Bible says inEphesians 5:18 but be filled with the Spirit;

He didnt sayye are filled with the Spirit. He said to be filled with the Spirit by speaking inother tongues. You are not always be filled with the Spirit. God wants the fullness of the

Spirit. When the Holy Ghost comes to live in you, hell always be in you for you are a child

of God. Thats not to say that you always have His Fullness.

1.

The Spirit of the Lord.

2. The Spirit of Wisdom.

3. The Spirit of Understanding.

4. The Spirit of Counsel.

5. The Spirit of Might.

6. The Spirit of Knowledge.

7. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord.

Zechariah 3:9For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be

seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will

remove the iniquity of that land in one day.Zechariah 4:10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and

shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the

LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

These are the seven eyes that run to and fro through the whole earth.

Revelation 5:6 KJV And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts,

and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and

seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth .

The seven Spirits of God.

Page 7

Revelation 4:5 KJV And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices:and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of

God.

Now upon one stone shall be seven eyes. He was talking about the branch. He called him the

branch in one place and called him the branch in another place and then Isaiah called him thebranch which means that the branch is this same stone of Christ.

1 Peter 2:3-6 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. (4) To whom coming, as unto

a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, (5) Ye also, as

lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritualsacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. (6) Wherefore also it is contained in the

scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth onhim shall not be confounded.

He is the stone and we also are living stones. Now Zechariah said upon one stone shall be

seven eyes:Zechariah didnt say upon the stone shall be seven eyes but upon one stone shallbe seven eyes. Upon each of the stones shall be seven eyes. Ye also are living stones. Each of

us are living stones and Hes called the branch and Jesus saidJohn 15:5I am the vine, yeare

the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for

without me ye can do nothing.These seven eyes are the seven Spirits of God and John 3:34 says that God gave Jesus the

Spirit without measure. He had the fullness of the Godhead bodily and now Colossians 2:10KJV And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

Each one of us ought to have the fullness of the Spirit and none of us ought to have the Spirit

without measure. He says to usEphesians 5:18 KJV And be not drunk with wine, wherein is

excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

In the Old Testament the Spirit of the Lord came mightily on Samson and the Spirit of the

Lord came upon David and the Spirit of the Lord came upon Isaiah. In the New Testament

the Spirit of the Lord never came upon anyone. Jesus said he dwelleth with you, and shall bein you.

He came upon us that He might come into us.1 John 2:20But ye have an unction from the

Holy One, and ye know all things.

The Holy Spirit coming to take residence in us. The Holy Spirit living in us, walking in us

and talking in us. We have become his living tabernacles. 1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye

not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghostwhich is in you, which ye have of God,and ye are not your own?

Have the Spirit in fullness. When there is the fullness of the Spirit, there is the fire of theSpirit. When you dont have the fullness of the Holy Spirit you have less than the seven

Spirits of God and yet you are a child of God. Maybe at that point for some only the Spirit ofknowledge is functioning. So the Holy Spirit teach and teach and teach and teach but no

power. For some of them, they only had the Spirit of Might. They are tough for God but there

is no wisdom and no knowledge. In the New Testament, God doesnt want another Samson,

not another Moses and not another David. He wants us to take after the second Adam. Just

like Jesus. No one will be disadvantaged. In the New Testament its always Peter being filled

with the Holy Ghost and Paul being filled with the Holy Ghost. Every time they wanted totalk and perform miracles, they were filled with the Holy Ghost. Prior to that time they may


9/51


Page 8

not have been full but to stand at that time they were full. How can you be filled?Speakingto yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your

heart to the Lord; (20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in thename of our Lord Jesus Christ;[Ephesians 5:19-20]

Here is this man and the Holy Ghost in His fullness comes into you. His legs in your legs andHis hands in your hands and fingers in your fingers and his head in your head. Ive caste out

many demons and I know what it is to like for a human person to be fully filled with the

devil. Many many times more than one demon take residence in a human person. Ive seen

their eyes look through the eyes of the individual as I try to cast that devil and they look and

talk with that persons mouth. Look at the eyes and they are filled with hate but before themanifestation of the devil, he/she looked like the nicest person ever and suddenly the devil

fills him up and you can see the eyes of that devil looking at you with hate. Thanks be untoGod when we call in the name of Jesus and they got to come out. Suddenly that fellow looks

calm and normal. Sometimes the devils fill them and the people cant even hold them down.

They hold the hands of that individual with their bare hands but theres a hand of a devil in

that hand. You can take that thing away from him. Many many times you find people who aredemon possessed and people run away from them. God says

Ephesians 5:18 KJV And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the

Spirit;

You know that wine can make you feel high. Wine can make you think of you like ofsomething else. Yet thats in the sense realm and you dont have the spirit of Might when you

have wine in you. You may act strong but you are not strong and you may act bold but youare not bold.

Be filled with the Spirit. When you are filled with the Spirit, He leads us into prayer. He leads

us in study and the things we should do by the supernatural power of Almighty God.

Volume 1:

Part 2

n our Christian lives

there are certain things

we have to engage.

Some of them in conflict.

God has made us in such a

way that being born of

Gods word and Gods Spirit, there should be no deficiency whatsoever in the new creation.The new creation has been perfectly fashioned by God. Christianity is not a religion. It is the

life of God in a human person. The human person has a capacity to contain God. God candwell in a human person. The Bible lets us know that human being are vessels. 2 Corinthians

4:7 KJV But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may

be of God, and not of us.They can be indwelt but in this world you have to decide whos

going to live in you.

Ephesians 3:14-17 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,(15) Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, (16) That he would grant

I


10/51


Page 9

you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in theinner man; (17) That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and

grounded in love,The literal rendering is to become mighty. Not in size. Strengthened with might by the Spirit

of God in your inner man. This is from within you.

Ephesians 3:17-19 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted andgrounded in love, (18) May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and

length, and depth, and height; (19) And to know the love of Christ, which surpasseth

knowledge, thatye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Filled with the fullness of God. There is a fullness of God. Not to be filled with God but to befilled with the fullness of God. Its one thing to have God and another thing to be filled with

the completeness of God. Many years ago the Christians used to call something call the The

baptism of the Holy Ghost. They didnt even use that term. They would term it as being

filled with the fullness of God. If you are born again you are baptised with the Holy Ghost.

They would say Have you received the fullness of the Spirit. That too was also a

misleading. When you are born again is the time you are baptised in the Holy Ghost. To be

into the Holy Ghost is to be baptised into Christ. Same thing used to say to be dipped into

Christ or to be immersed into Christ. You are immersed into him. 1 Corinthians 12:13 KJV

(13) For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,

whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Thats the baptism of the Holy Ghost. To be immersed into the Holy Ghost. When you are

born again you come into God. To be in God is different is different for God to be in you.You have become a prepared vessel, a temple and you are now ready to receive God into

your life in His fullness. We receive really the Lordship of Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,all things are become new.

If you really want to understand the Bible and lay aside denominational terminologies, it will

actually be better because these misunderstandings of the scripture have made the people to

seek what they should not be seeking. Lay aside those strongholds that your great grandfather

did in the church. Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit are two

things. What happened there was that you were baptised by the Holy Spirit. You are in Himbut He is not in you. When the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in you or to live in you or to make

His home in you thats not the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Thats what they asked in Acts

19 Have you received the Holy Spirit?That is the anointing. Thats when you receive the

anointing. When you come to make his abode in you to dwell in you thats when you areanointed. The presence of God is manifested. Everyone who has received the Holy Ghost is

anointed to live by the Holy Ghost to do supernatural things. This anointing is different from

the anointing for the service. Thats for the Apostles, Prophets and Evangelists, Pastors and

Teachers. That anointing is a different manifestation it is another unction of the same Holy

Spirit. This is the anointing that comes upon you not the one that abides in you. It comes and

goes. You cant live your life with that anointing. You cant go home touch your wife, shellfall under the power. In fact when this anointing gets too strong it hurts. You finally ask God

to take it away. You feel the bones knocking on each other or an extreme burning sensation.

You wont have an advantage with this because this anointing doesnt work for you. It works

for the others in the church. When you lay hands on the sick they get healed but you if you

dont have faith, you are not healed. This is actually the authority and no other power. Elishadied of sickness. Even though in his dead bones the anointing resided and when another dead


11/51

man was thrown into his sepulchre and when his body touched the bones of Elisha he camealive.

All the answers are in the word of God. The Holy Ghost is made manifest now. This is His

hour. The first revelation came. The word of God revealed. The Father through the Holy

Ghost.Genesis 1:1 KJV In the beginning Elohiym created the heaven and the earth.

Whose Elohiym? Plural for God. So its the Godhead. Then the word of God reveals the

Spirit of God.Genesis 1:2And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.The Holy

Spirit. Two persons revealed to us in Genesis the Father and the Holy Ghost. There are 3revealed to us in Genesis. The Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost. The word is not a

person. The logos of God the revelation of God. It is the thought of God clothed withvocabulary that proceeds from the Father. He was not a person until He became a person.

Throughout the Church theres too much misunderstanding about the person of Jesus and

even the Holy Spirit because they wouldnt study the Bible and rather remain with what

somebody said without ever studying the Bible. Gods not going to hold anyone responsiblefor that. You are responsible for your own ignorance and you are also held accountable

because you are old enough to study. Assumptions are unnecessary here. 1 John 5:7-8 For

there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and

these three are one. (8) And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and thewater, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

The spoken word became the living word. The angels never saw anyone called Jesus playingaround or running around in heaven. John 1:14 KJV And the Word was made flesh, and

dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)

full of grace and truth.

This is the first time the word of God took personality out of God the Father. The one that

became flesh received the Spirit of God in fullness.John 1:32 KJV And John bare record,

saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.When

Jesus was here this was His ministry.

The Holy Spirit is the only person that can bring the power of God to human lives. Hes the

one that can manifest the presence of God to a human person. God is so big. Who is the HolySpirit? Let me tell you. The Holy Spirit is not someone one day who just showed up in

heaven as God the Father was on the throne, He turned around and saw somebody else and

said Hey! How are youand the other one said Well Im known as the SpiritIts not like

that. Its not that the Father sits somewhere and the Holy Spirit sits somewhere else and

discuss What are we going to do now.. Who is the Holy Spirit? He is not some cloudmoving around in heaven without a shape. Moving with pseudopodia all over the place. No!

Who is the Holy Ghost?

John 15:26 KJV But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the

Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of

me:

That is the key. Jesus didnt say who is coming from the Father and nor did Jesus say who

shall come from the Father. Jesus said who comes from the Father. The Holy Ghost is the one

proceeds from the Father. The Father is always on the throne. He never leaves the throne. He

never needs to go from one place to another. Someone said Oh that would be boring..He

doesnt need to go to where. He Himself is distance and time. Where should He reach?Higher than the heaven and He outweighs the cosmos. Where is the place when He fills all


12/51


Page11

things? The Father sits on the throne and He wants to go over there, He proceeds from Himand remains on His throne and He is not diminished. Did you understand that? He proceeds

from Him and goes over there and another place and another and another and still notdiminished. He is the same. In His totality He is here as well as there. Not one hand going

here and another hand going somewhere else or jumping from place to place. That which

proceeds from Him is known as the Holy Ghost. That is the Spirit of God. He is HimselfGod. When you talk about the Holy Ghost, dont think someone junior to Jesus or the Father.

He is coequal with God and He is God. He revealed His Son. When He brought His son to us

He was led to the cross. He died for us. He was wounded for our transgressions and was

bruised for our iniquities. The Son did His job and left! Who is this Holy Ghost? John 14:16-

17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he mayabide with you for ever; (17) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,

because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you,and shall be in you.

The world cannot see him because the world can only believe what they see with their senses.

They can only know what they can sense. Sense based knowledge. Gnosis. There is anotherkind of knowledge is there. Ginosko, eido and epignosis. The prophets understood that the

coming of the Son of Almighty God was the presence of God with us. God with us.

Emmanuel! The word became flesh and the word was the word of God and not the word of a

man. The word became flesh and His own received him not.John 1:10 KJV He was in theworld, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.John 1:18 No man hath

seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hathdeclared him.

There was a greater revelation that was to come. This was Gods dream all the time. He

exemplified it in Jesus. When Jesus received the Holy Ghost. Jesus was 100% man and 100%

God. Not 50% - 50%. He was different from everybody else. When the anointing came on

Moses, Joshua, Samson, David they received it in a measure. There was one to come to

whom God would not give the Holy Spirit by measure.John 3:34 KJV For he whom God

hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

Isaiah 11:2 KJV And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom andunderstanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the

LORD;

These are the seven Spirits of God. Jesus was full of these seven Spirits of God. The

completeness of God in the flesh.

It wasnt the miracle that gives a man boldness but the Spirit of God.

Joshua 1:9 KJV Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not

afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thougoest.

Revelation 5:6 KJV And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts,

and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and

seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth .

The Spirit of God is around the whole world. This is new before Jesus came the angel of the

Lord who is the Holy Ghost. Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled aman with him until the breaking of the day.The angel of the Lord wrestled with Jacob all


13/51


Page12

night long. Everytime He wanted to go Jacob held Him down and said No you dontuntilGenesis 32:25He touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of

joint, as he wrestled with him.Knocked Jacob down. TKO. Technical Knockout. The HolyGhost.

Genesis 32:26 KJV And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let

thee go, except thou bless me.Jacob said I cant let you go until you bless me.Something strange about this man that

wrestled with Jacob. Jacob knew it was God and said I wont let you go until you bless me.

The angel of God said I cannot bless you..and Jacob asked why? The angel of the Lord

said Whats your name?Jacob replied My name is Jacob

Whats the meaning of Jacob? >> Swindler, fast guy.God said I cant bless you for that is your name. You are a swindler. You are Jacob. Jacob

dont get no blessing and Jacob cried Ohhh you got to bless me please..and God saidAlright! Your name will be changed now. You shall no longer be called Jacob but

henceforth be called Israel for you are a prince of power with God.

Every time God wanted to do something here and there the Holy Spirit went. He was calledthe angel of Gods presence. Isaiah 63:9-11In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the

angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare

them, and carried them all the days of old. (10) But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit:

therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. (11) Then heremembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up

out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

You see God is so wonderful. He cries for you when you are rebelling against Him.Then he

remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up

out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock?

God is in heaven and if you are going to know him its by the angel of His presence. The

Holy Ghost who brings that presence to us. Thats the reason when you are praying in your

room, you can actually feel the presence of God. Thats the reason why you can feel theanointing of Gods Spirit.

When Jesus was down here all of His presence was in Jesus down here. The Holy Ghost has

not been revealed at that time. He was then still behind working behind. He was behind the

Father and now He was behind the Son of God Jesus. The time is here when He comes out all

by Himself. This is His time. Its different time.

If you want to get to the power of God, you have to get to where Jesus was. If you wanted toget to the anointing, you have to look for Jesus. Its different now. John 16:8 KJVAnd when

he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

After Jesus performed many miracles, they didnt believe him. The crowd that gathered tocrucify Jesus, not one person said this man is a good man. After they got healed by thousands

and thousands. They shouted Give us Barabbas. Where was blind Bartimaeus? Where wasthe woman with the issue of blood? The demon possessed man in Gedara? Where was the

nobleman? Where was Jairus? Where was Joseph of Arimathea? Not even one of them could

speak up? Everybody was hiding until the man died and came to carry the body. When Jesus

preached to them, the words I speak unto you they are spirit and they are life. My body is

bread indeed! They said Phat! How can we eat your body?They came because there were

miracles and let alone Jesus fed them.

Romans 10:9-10 It is only the Christian that believes that Jesus rose from the dead.Everyone else believes that Jesus died on the cross.

Somebody said Jesus came out. Jesus was risen. Peter and John dashed out. Peter was an

older gentleman and John was much younger so John outran Peter but John was staying at the

entrance of the cave. He was too afraid to go in. Little John stopped and waited for Peter! Sothe Pope Peter came in and went in. John says then when he saw, he believed.

All the presence of the Holy Ghost was in Jesus. The Holy Ghost was not yet revealed. The

Holy Ghost to live in a man is to have all of the life from the nature of God, to have the Holy

Spirit indwell a human person makes him undefeatable, indestructible, unconquerable. TheHoly Spirit to make His home in a mans body is to make him more than a man. To bring into

humanity the life and power of divinity. It changes a man completely. Ye might be filled withall the fullness of God. Jesus said to the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem for the promise of the

Father. Whats this promise? The promise of prophet Joel:: Joel 2:28 KJV And it shall come

to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your

daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall seevisions:

They shall speak words of power that what they say will come to pass. These are not mere

words but the words of Almighty God. Acts 2:21 KJV And it shall come to pass, that

whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 1:8 KJVBut ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and yeshall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto

the uttermost part of the earth.

Dynamic ability to cause changes. You will never be frustrated. You can change anything.

You shall receive power. The ability to cause changes. We havent used this yet. The church

has more power than the magicians. We havent recognised this yet. Much power than

Samson, David.

When the Spirit of God is working in your life we are not talking about somebody trying tomaster boldness. Thats why we need to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Ephesians 5:18 KJV

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

When you are filled, its not you trying to get bold and not you trying to remember scriptures.

The life we got from God is much better than that. There is a working. Samuel said to Saul,

you will come upon prophets who will be prophesying and when you come upon them the

Spirit of the Lord will come upon you and you shall prophesy with them and you shall turninto another man.1 Samuel 10:6 KJV And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and

thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.

When Samson came with that lion the Spirit of God came mightily upon Samson. He didnt

know fear anymore. Suddenly he was a changed man. Doesnt mean you will not know whatyou did. It just means at that time the Spirit of God will take over your senses and you will

cease to see like men.Isaiah 11:3 KJV And shall make him of quick understanding in the

fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the

hearing of his ears:

He will see things differently. Jesus on the boat and the water is coming on the boat. Why are

you so fearful? When Jesus came to the shore and there were no boats, Jesus didnt startpraying. He just took off the water and walked on it as though it were concrete. When they


15/51


Page14

saw blind eyes opened they thought theyve seen God Almighty come down, when the deafears were unstopped they shouted, when the lame got up to walk they thought it was amazing.

Now Jesus comes walking on the water and He wasnt tip-toeing looking for the Where isthe next piece of wood over there

Matthew 8:27 What manner of man is this!

Jesus didnt do this before the Holy Spirit came on Jesus. Jesus said Be not afraid! I am the

one. Peter said Hey Jesus! If you are the one ask me to come to you. I wanna do the same

like you.Jesus said come on .. Go ahead!Jesus never says Hmm? Peter! You want to try

this? Do you know who I am? Im greater than you. You want to be like me? You are joking No. Jesus said come on. The Bible declares that Peter came on the word of Jesus. Peter

walked on the water. Then Peter saw the waves and began to sink. The life we are called tolive is a walk on the water. This was the difference between the man who had the Holy Ghost

and the man who didnt. The one who did, didnt judge according to his sight. He was

unmoved. Peter looked and began to sink. Jesus said Why did you doubt? All the other

disciples could have danced on the water that day if Peter hadnt doubted.

Some people say Well I prayed for something and it didnt work. So I never tried it again.

No! Thats not right.

Acts 2:1 KJV And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord

in one place.

What were they doing? Meditation! Theyd become broken. All their options were over. And

suddenly!Acts 2:2-4And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty

wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. (3) And there appeared unto them

cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. (4) And they were all filled with

the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Volume 1: Part 3

ur Christian life is a very special calling. We

are called of God to this life. Its not an

ordinary life. God has chosen us. We are

anointed of Gods Spirit. We are Gods people.Many times a Christians life may be somewhat

ordinary. The way it looks the things that happen to

that one and things could get even get a bit confusing

whether or not there is a God in heaven or whether

God is concerned about the Christian. As we grow as

a Christian well know better and well also knowhow to position ourselves in line with Gods Spirit and Gods word. We are not ordinary.

People may take us to be ordinary but we are not. We do have a responsibility in this as the

coming of the Lord draws nearer , well notice that the anointing upon Gods children

will increase and a lot more will be accomplished. Zechariah 4:6 This is the word of the

LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith theLORD of hosts. The church is many times taken lightly. The native doctor said nobody

O


16/51


Page15

should pass this road and because of it no one will pass. The Church said the same thing buteveryone is talking. The Church is challenged many times. The church is taken for granted.

Taken lightly but I tell you we are learning Gods word and its not only be going to be ablessing. Genesis 12:3 KJV And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth

thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. The same Ark of God that was a

blessing to Israel was a curse to another. It killed one man and was a blessing to another .Gods church must not be taken lightly. However, you are not going to make them take us

seriously by saying that they should take us seriously because it will never work. Never will.

They will be forced to take us seriously by virtue of the things that happen. In the early

church the apostles were persecuted for preaching but after some signs and wonders took

place everyone left them alone. Its getting to the time to leave us alone. The clock is tickingand its getting closer. God is doing His work. Do you know the time? Where we are at now?

Study the 70 weeks of Daniel and the book of Revelation. The church is not as weak as somepeople think. 1 Chronicles 16:22Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no

harm. Psalms 105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. We

dont need to warn them. God knows what to do. I told you once when the Holy Spirit says

the same thing twice; you have to be very careful because the third time there will be nosaying.

Weve been talking about the fullness and the fire and this time I want to talk about when you

meet the angel of the Lord. Go to the 63rd

Chapter of Isaiahs Gospel. You know Isaiah is agospel. He said Who hath believed our report?And his report was a good one. Good repot is

gospel.

Isaiah 63:7-9 KJV I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the

LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward

the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according

to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. (8) For he said, Surely they are my people, children

that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. (9)In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the

angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare

them, and carried them all the days of old.

In their afflictions He was also afflicted. He said Saul Saul why persecutes thou me? Hedidnt say why persecutes my children? The angel is H4397

mal'ak mal-awk'

From an unused root meaning to despatchas a deputy; a messenger; specifically of God, that is, an angel(also aprophet, priest or teacher): - ambassador, angel, king, messenger.

The conveyor of His presence, the messenger of His presence is the Holy Ghost. The Holy

Ghost is the one that takes Gods presence from place to place. God almighty is on His throne

and moves by His Spirit. His Spirit takes His Presence and His Power to wherever God

wants. The Holy Ghost is not the younger brother of Jesus. He is Himself God. In Genesis 12

it says Now the Lord had said unto Abraham..That doesnt mean God said. God had said

means this is something the God had said prior to this time.

Genesis 11:24-32 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: (25) And

Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons anddaughters. (26) And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. (27)

Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran

begat Lot. (28) And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur ofthe Chaldees. (29) And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was


17/51


Page16

Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah,and the father of Iscah. (30) But Sarai was barren; she had no child. (31) And Terah took

Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his sonAbram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of

Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. (32) And the days of Terah were two

hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran. Genesis 12:1 KJV Now the LORD hadsaid unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's

house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

So now where in the world did God said that to Abram before?

The Holy Spirit has given it to us in the book of Acts.2 Timothy 3:16All scripture is given

by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, forinstruction in righteousness:

This was the man Stephen who was made to face the council during the persecution.

Acts 7:1-3 KJV Then said the high priest, Are these things so? (2) And he said, Men,brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when

he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, (3) And said unto him, Get thee out of

thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

So God said this to Abram when he was in Mesopotamia.

Genesis 12:1-3 KJV Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and

from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: (2) And I

will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou

shalt be a blessing: (3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth

thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

So at this time Abram had met with God Almighty. But just because God has talked to you,

has spoken to you or revealed something to you about your life and about your future is not tosay that you know Him. There is a special kind of revelation that God grants to you that you

should know Him. When you meet God. You havent met Him just because you heard Hisword, you havent met him just because He touched your life, you havent met Him just

because you got healed. God blessed Abram but still Abram couldnt believe he was going to

have any child.

Genesis 15:1-6 KJV After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision,

saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. (2) And Abramsaid, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is

this Eliezer of Damascus? (3) And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and,

lo, one born in my house is mine heir. (4) And, behold, the word of the LORD came untohim, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels

shall be thine heir. (5) And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward

heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy

seed be. (6) And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Abram believed! Just because you believed one time doesnt mean that you will always

believe. The man believed and God got into a covenant with him that very day that very

night. Then again just because you got into a covenant with God doesnt mean that youllalways believe. Do you always believe? Sometimes you doubt. Sometimes you wonder


18/51


Page17

whether Gods word would really come to pass. You are not the first. Abram was just likeyou. Abram did doubted one more time.

In this sixteenth chapter, something beautiful happened. After Abram had believed the Lord

and he was now sure that he was going to have a son, Sarai came and said I know the secret.

You are getting older. You are 99 years old. God helps who help themselves. Faith withoutworks is dead. Ive got a clue. If you want God to do something, you better do something.

Some of us are just that way. Abram said One from mine own bowels shall be mine heir.

Thats what God said and Sarai said Yeah I know. Did God say from which womb?

Tonight you will have a child.Abram is in the room and Sarai gets her housemaid Hagar

and pushes her inside and said Alright! Now is the time to make Gods word come to pass. Abram went into Hagar and got Ishmael. The problem is lasting a whole age. It has been

there. The middle east problem was caused by Sarai. She caused it. Thats how Abramthought God would do it. Somehow within him he knew something was a miss.

Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to

Abram, and said unto him,I am El Shaddai; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Why did God have to introduce himself to Abram? Because Abram didnt know God. Godsaid If I tell you something that I can bring it to pass. Do you hear me Abram! I am El

Shaddai

Genesis 17:2-9 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee

exceedingly. (3) And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, (4) As forme, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. (5) Neither

shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father ofmany nations have I made thee. (6) And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make

nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. (7) And I will establish my covenant

between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant,

to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. (8) And I will give unto thee, and to thy

seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an

everlasting possession; and I will be their God. (9) And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt

keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

Now God changed the name of this man from Abram to Abraham. Genesis 17:15-16 And

God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah

shall her name be. (16) And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless

her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

Now look at Abraham!

Genesis 17:17-18 KJV Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart,Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety

years old, bear? (18) And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

All the time Abraham thought it was Ishmael that God was talking and when God said that

Sarah shall bare a son Abraham couldnt hold it back. He laughed.Genesis 17:19-20 KJV

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name

Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his

seed after him. (20) And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and

will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I

will make him a great nation.


19/51


Page18

You want to know about Ishmael you can study in the 21st Chapter where they were drivenaway and also the 16th chapter you also have some information. You can understand what

kind of a man Ishmael was supposed to be. Lets take a look at the Arab world.Genesis 16:7-12 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the

wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. (8) And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence

camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistressSarai. (9) And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit

thyself under her hands. (10) And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy

seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude. (11) And the angel of the

LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his

name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. (12) And he will be a wild

man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall

dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

Alright lets get back.

God appeared to Abraham and said I am El ShaddaiThe strong and breasted one. Im bigenough to take care of you and to protect you and to nourish you. I am the strong and the

breasted oneGod did the same for Isaac and Jacob. Jacob got the inheritance.

Genesis 28:10-11 KJV And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. (11)And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and

he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place tosleep.

Hey! How would you like to have stones for your pillow?

Genesis 28:12-15 KJV And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top

of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. (13)

And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father,

and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; (14)And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and

to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the

families of the earth be blessed. (15) And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all

places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee,

until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

A lot of times God is present and doing a lot of things and you dont know it. Look at Jacoband he didnt know it.Genesis 28:16And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely

the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

Do you remember John saying I write to you children because you have known himand

again I write to you fathers because you have known him.These are two different kinds of knowledge of God. This is a revelation of acquaintance. You

have moved from faith to faith+trust. When you trust God its based on experiential

knowledge of Him. You are no longer the person saying Well hes discouraged lets try to

counsel him.Nobody is going to do that. You are now more than a conqueror.Romans 8:37

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.


20/51


Page19

We are not thinking of we are going to be winning. We are not looking at the struggleanymore. Faith to faith+trust. You trust one that you know. You dont trust one that you do

not know. You may have faith in what he said unconsciously but you can only trust him whenyou know him. You got a job and they said Well pay you X amount of moneyand signed

the contract and started to work. He hasnt given you anything yet but you had faith in him.

You didnt trust him. You had faith in what he said. He said hell pay you so you had faith.Yet you dont know him and so you cannot trust him. You have faith in the contract but you

trust the person.

Faith comes by hearing.

Trust comes by knowledge!

Your trust increases by knowledge.

God had to introduce Himself to Abram. Hello! I am El Shaddai. The strong and the

breasted one. Pleased to meet you Abram!Abraham got acquainted with El Shaddai. Talked

with Him. Jacob is now hearing the same Spirit that called his grandpa out. But theres morefor Jacob. Hes still a fast guy. Hes still a swindler. Watching everybody and outsmarting

everybody. They named him before he did anything wrong at his birth.

After Jacob came from his uncles house he began to journey home. God has mightily blessedhim. Just because God has blessed you in not enough to know Him. You dont know him in

the blessing. The blessing comes with faith. Theres a different kind of walk with God.Theres a higher level of blessing that takes you beyond the material things of this life. Where

you are not moved by them. People get happy when you get the goods of life and sad when

dont have them. Happy when money comes in and sad when there is no money. Yet you

ought to come to be like Paul who said Ive learnt in whatsoever state I am to be

independent on circumstances.His life had gone beyond that. No wonder he was taken to

the 3rdheaven as a trip. You dont look at physical possessions. Higher level of blessings in

your life.Luke 12:15for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he

possesseth.

Genesis 32:24 KJV And Jacob was left alone..

It is important that you get left alone. When you are left alone, thats really when God begins

talking. Thats when you can really find the revelation. Every man or woman in the Bible had

this quiet time. If you dont have this experience of being alone and quiet before the Lord,

you will not accomplish much. Creative life, exceptional business or academic life you musthave quiet time. Ok well get there.

Genesis 32:24 KJV And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until thebreaking of the day.

All night long a man wrestled with him. Jacob also started wrestling with him. How do youlike to be alone and suddenly unprovoked? A man just comes inside and starts fighting you.

A man wrestled with Jacob all night long until dawn. Genesis 32:25 KJV And when he saw

that he prevailed not against him, Jacob was a strong man. So when He saw that prevailed

not against him He touched the hollow of Jacobs thigh and the hollow of Jacobs thigh was

out of joint. Genesis 32:25 KJV And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he

touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as hewrestled with him.

Then the man wanted to go. Genesis 32:26 KJV And he said, Let me go, for the daybreaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

Jacob says No you dont! I wont let you go until you bless me!

The man knew that the greater is the one that blesses the lesser. So Jacob had an insight.Jacob knew who this man was. This was the blessed man of the East. Jacob. The blessed

man. The one with the Abrahamic covenant and now Jacob tells this man I will not let you

go until you bless me. This should let you know that the man who was wrestling with him

was not an ordinary man. Hallelujah!

Genesis 32:27-28 KJV And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. (28)And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou

power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

Then Jacob also asked Him Tell me tell me.. What is your name too.. Tell me will you

Genesis 32:29 KJV And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he

said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.This is the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost He is not answering any name because His time

has not come. He is the one who is taking the presence of God. He is the Almighty God.

Genesis 32:30And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face toface, and my life is preserved.

Jacob realised that this was the Almighty God at present. He realised that this was the

Almighty God. The same one who told his grandpapa I am El Shaddai. Walk before me

This is wonderful.

Genesis 32:31 KJV And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon

his thigh.

The sun rises upon you when you meet Him. Malachi 4:2 the Sun of righteousness arise

with healing in his wings

Every time God met them, He changed their names. Until Abraham met him, he was Abram

even though he had the promises. But now when He met him, You are no longer known as

Abram but Abraham.Not assumed fatherbut thefather of many nations.

When Jacob met Him, he was no longer Jacob but Israel. Not swindlerbutprince who has

power with God.

AlrightENTER Moses..!

Exodus 3:1-4 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and

he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even toHoreb. (2) And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst

of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not

consumed. (3) And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush

is not burnt. (4) And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him

out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

This was the Holy Ghost in the fire. The angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of

fire. The flame was the angel of the Lord. The presence of the Lord appeared to Moses in a


22/51


Page21

fire. So was it the fire that appeared or was it the angel of the Lord that appeared as a fire? Icant understand how some folks read their Bibles.

Exodus 3:5 KJV And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the

place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

The presence of God.

Exodus 3:6 KJV Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God

of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

God needed to introduce Himself properly to Moses before Moses could go to Pharaoh. Godneeds to introduce Him to you properly. You need to know him properly. Its not enough to

say I worship HimIts not enough to study the Bible. You need a personal acquaintancewith Him. An encounter with Him. That you know that you know He is your God.

Exodus 6:1-2 KJV Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to

Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive

them out of his land. (2) And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I amJEHOVAH:Exodus 6:3 KJV And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of

El Shaddai, but by my nameJEHOVAHwas I not known to them.Jehovah is the name that God uses to talk to people when He talks covenant. It is Gods

covenant name that binds Him to His people. El Shaddai appear to them and helps them butJehovah puts His presence there. What you do to them, you do to Jehovah!

God has been with you all your life. Just because you were defeated doesnt mean that God

was not there. He was there all the time. You didnt know Him. You needed another

revelation of Him. Read John 18Jesus is standing with His disciples and several soldiers are coming from the chief priest.

They are coming to arrest Jesus. Jesus says to them Whom do you seek? and they say

Jesus of Nazareth!and Jesus said I AM he!and everyone falls under the power. John

18:6As soon then as he had said unto them, I amhe, they went backward, and fell to the

ground.Then they got up again and while they were dusting themselves Jesus asked again Whom do

you seek?And they said again Jesus of Nazareth!And Jesus saidI have told you that I am

he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:. Now Peter is angry now because his faithhas come up because they all fell under the power as Jesus spoke. So Peter drew his sword

and cut off the right ear of the high priests servant. The thing dropped. Peter though now this

was war! Jesus saidJohn 18:11Then said Jesus unto Peter,Put up thy sword into the sheath:the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

Then Jesus took that piece and healed that soldier. What I want you to see is that Jesus had

enough fire power to blow everybody out of existence at that moment. He did but He didnt.

He had the power but He didnt. why? Jesus said This is your hour and the power of

darknessJesus said I spoke to you openly and you never arrested me then but this is your

hour!

God Almighty was there but He knew that this was not the time for Him to take vengeance.

This was the time for salvation and redemption. The revelation of God that the people neededwas the revelation of His grace at that time. Not the revelation ofJehovah Sabaoth. The Lord

of host the God of war. Thats not what they needed. They needed to know theIsaiah 53:5


23/51


Page22

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: thechastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

He came as a lamb. That was the dispensation then. God knew that the time would comewhen Jesus would be revealed not as a lamb but the lion of the tribe of Juda. Revelation 5:5

KJV And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the

Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.The same one. God has been with you. Depending on the revelation youve got of God. The

times you find in a predicament and God can bring you out and God could have got you out

of trouble and yet you got into trouble. Why? Not because He couldnt help you and not

because He could not but because there is a revelation of God you require.

So God spoke to Moses and said Moses, Pharaoh is talking tough and its time for us to get

tough. As El Shaddai he will not let you go. But I want him to know that I am Jehovah. Weare changing things and we are changing the order.The covenant God. In other words I am

tied to my people and if my people are in bondage I AM with them and we are coming out in

this revelation. They are not alone. Moses was enjoying all these.

Exodus 6:3 KJV And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of

El Shaddai, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Abraham Isaac and Jacob didnt know me as Jehovah. They knew me as El Shaddai.

Exodus 6:4-6 KJV And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land

of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. (5) And I have alsoheard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I

have remembered my covenant. (6) Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am

JEHOVAH, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid

you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great

judgments:

When God gets tough, there is a change. Exodus 6:8 KJV And I will bring you in unto the

land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and Iwill give it you for an heritage: I am JEHOVAH.

Moses get to meet Jehovah. Jehovah is the one that stays with His people together. Jehovah is

tied to His people by His covenant. Do you understand? Isaiah 43:1-3 KJV But now thus

saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I

have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. (2) When thou passest

through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle

upon thee. (3) For I am JEHOVAH thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave

Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

Do you remember the last man?

Exodus 14:19 KJV And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and

went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind

them:

Here is the last man and ahead of them went the angel of the Lord in a pillar of fire. He was

always at the front leading them. The Bible says that He gets out of there and gets behind

them. Why? After that last man of the children of Israel, you have the Egyptians. So God isready for a showdown! So He gets away from there and stands behind them. He wants to

know who is coming.Exodus 14:20-21 KJV And it came between the camp of the Egyptiansand the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to

these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. (21) And Moses stretched out hishand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that

night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

God did it with a blast of His nostrils. When He did that, it caused the strongest wind andsplit the Red Sea wide open and held the waters to form a wall. As though they were

congealed. The Holy Ghost!

Exodus 14:22-23 KJV And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry

ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. (23)And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's

horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

When God let the children of Israel go in He was with them. When they were gone the

Egyptians said Hey! Look! Moses God is a poor General. Go get all of them back to

EgyptExodus 14:24-30 KJV And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORDlooked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled

the host of the Egyptians, (25) And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them

heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth

for them against the Egyptians. (26) And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine handover the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and

upon their horsemen. (27) And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the seareturned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and

the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. (28) And the waters returned,

and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the

sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. (29) But the children of Israel

walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their

right hand, and on their left. (30) Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of

the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

Thats the angel of the Lord that saved them.Isaiah 63:9 KJV In all their affliction he was

afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them:in his love and in his pity he redeemed

them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

Moses began to sing and he sang that song unto God. Im trying to show you something

here.

ENTER Joshua!God spoke to Joshua and He already began leading Joshua but there was a lot the man didnt

know. And God is the strategist here. He knows the way. He knows how to get the enemy.The Lord is not resting! Jesus is on His throne but the Holy Ghost is at war.

Joshua 5:13 KJV And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes

and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his

hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

You see? Joshua is a young man and he wants to fight everybody. Are you for us or against

us.Joshua 5:14 KJV And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now

come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What

saith my lord unto his servant?


25/51

Elisha knew that host. [Study 2 Kings 6]. They were surrounded once. The servant criedMaster Master we are surrounded! Elisha said Shut up! Whats the matter with you?

Those that are with us more than those that are with themand Elisha said O Lord openthis mans eyes and let him see.And God opened his eyes and the servant saw that those

that surrounded Elishas house were surrounded with chariots of fire.

Brothers and sisters, we are not alone. They were there when the servant didnt know. Elishaknew that if he were with Joshua they have to be with him. Elisha didnt say O God open

my eyes so that I can see for now those that are with us.. no he prayed for his servants eyes

to be opened. He was so sure. When you know this you walk with your head high.

Joshua 5:14-15 KJV And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I nowcome. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What

saith my lord unto his servant? (15) And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua,Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did

so.

This captain is the same Holy Ghost who was with Moses in the burning bush. Same one who

said I am El Shaddaiand the same one who said I am Jehovah!When He said JehovahHe didnt stop being El Shaddai. Something more that they needed to know. The Holy Ghost.

Daniel 3:19-25 KJV Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was

changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commandedthat they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. (20)

And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach,and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. (21) Then these men were

bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into

the midst of the burning fiery furnace. (22) Therefore because the king's commandment was

urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. (23) And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and

Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. (24) Then

Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his

counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered andsaid unto the king, True, O king. (25) He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose,

walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the

Son of God.

Nebuchadnezzar didnt have any sense. Jehovah was there. Isaiah 43:2 KJV When thou

passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow

thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flamekindle upon thee.

They went through the water and it didnt overflow them and they went through the fire andit didnt burn them.
