00:00:00 Pastor Abe

God bless you, we're happy to see you in our midst. Amen. So Sunday school last week.

00:00:58 Pastor Abe
We said we should read Genesis chapters one to five. And you are welcome. God bless you, real good. Hey man, where is your wife? Oh okay. Hey man, you are welcome and welcome. All right. So last week uh, we were given these chapters to read : Genesis chapters one to five. And Matthew chapters one to five. So, what we do is that we want to make sure that we read the Bible, we study the Bible, we know what the Bible has to say over all. Amen. The Bible is the final authority. Amen. Me and him will be serve the Lord, Study the Bible, and we trust the Lord and I'm happy to have you in our midst. Amen.

00:01:56 Pastor Abe
Alright, so this Sunday school is meant for contributions, questions. I am going to ask questions, you ask questions. We all contribute so that we can have unity of knowledge, unity of information by the Bible. Amen. So how many of us read these chapters? Genesis one to five? Amen. Amen. Good mark. But anyways, it's fine. So every week, we'll be reading ten chapters of the scriptures, and then we'll come to discuss. And then we move from there. Yeah, right. Alright, since we already have a question, question one. Let's discuss what did you gain reading those Bible passages?

00:02:53 Pastor Abe
You read Genesis chapters one to five, Matthew chapters one to five. What can you say you gain reading those uh words just in one word? What can you say you gain? I mean,

00:03:12 Kara
I personally think how the importance. I never have been get past. The importance of this person was born to this person. This person lived that many years. Um, So I get the importance of how it started to know how everything started and how we got here.

00:03:27 Pastor Abe
Okay, so now let's point out the New Testament, right? How about Martin? Martin in the New Testament? Anyone? Yes, there's a lady. Give me a little bit because you provide you need people from so Genesis.

00:03:51 Lizzy
Well, I can say in the start of the creation of the of the guests and how Adam and Eve started, how they were departed, how God sent them out from the Garden of Eden. So, it's interesting to know what happened between Cain and Abel. And you know those years, they all spent before, they all died. So it's a new beginning of how the world was created. Okay, good.

00:04:20 Pastor Abe
I bought New Testament.

00:04:21 Lizzy
So, New Testament talks about the birth of Jesus Christ, how He was given birth to, How the angels of God had to tell Joseph to take Mary because Herod was going to kill uh the child. And it's also interesting to know that after Herod knew uh that you know the child was being kept from him, he started killing everyone, every children in Israel, you know. Amen.

00:04:47 Pastor Abe
So she said, "Only the Old Testament, she's able to know how everything started. New Testament, the story about the birth of Jesus Christ." So okay, I have a question for us. Two questions. One: What are the three names of Noah's son?

00:05:19 Pastor Abe
Good, Shem, Ham and Japheth. The next question: Moses wrote Genesis, right? He was not alive; he was not there when all those events took place. So how do you think he got to know about Genesis? About the. Start of the creation when it was not even there. How did Moses know? And he wrote how the world came. The question, Moses wrote Genesis and many of his writers right, but he was not born when God created the heaven and the earth, but he wrote it. How did he know?

00:06:18 Pastor Abe
God told him. God told him. No, but how do you think God will have told him? How? In what way?

00:06:28 Lizzy
Okay, um, maybe I can say it. Um, I can say it like the. So after he was born, I can say probably the issue he met when he was born. Probably he used that one to to write that.

00:06:44 Pastor Abe
So you're talking about issue? Okay, what do you think?

00:06:48 Brook
Either through dreams, dreams or maybe audibly through fire.

00:06:53 Pastor Abe
Oh, revelation! Revelation! So, we ought to understand that the Bible you want to understand how the Bible was written. Especially when you are reading the Old Testament. For interpretation, so Genesis, for example, was a revelation. And Moses used pictograms of what he would understand at that time. So when the Lord was speaking to Moses, God would not have used anything called Word doc.

00:07:45 Pastor Abe
To have explained to Moses because at that time there was no more clock. Do you understand? So at that time it means, God must have used things Moses would understand to make his illustrations. Do you understand what I am saying? So Genesis was a revelation. So when you read Genesis, we must understand how Genesis was written. So that you don't just take that word for what I think, that was what God was saying exactly to Moses. For example, Adam and Eve ate apple. All the fruits, do you think they actually ate fruit that way? No. But they disobeyed. So what God was trying to pass across to Moses.

00:08:45 Pastor Abe
In this mission, Was that he gave them instruction not to do something, and then they did it. So he used what people would understand to pass across that information. Do you understand? Are you confused? So when we read the Bible, and that is why we want to engage in studying the Bible, to know the Bible. Amen. Now question two. What do you think Jesus meant in Matthew chapter 5 and verse 20 when he said, "For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of God." What do you think Jesus was saying? He said, "Except your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees."

00:09:44 Lizzy
Okay, so there's also a place in Matthew, I think five, But I can't remember the verse where it says, if you grieve those who you are happy with. I've forgotten how he said it. That's okay. Even the the Pharisees they did something like that. So, if he's saying that accept your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes, so you know so if we if if our.

00:10:14 Lizzy
If you do the same thing, if you do the same thing that is Christ or right,

00:10:20 Pastor Abe
I mean, and so there's no difference. Exactly. So, it means that if you don't do the same thing, that other people of the world are doing, the Bible says that there is no difference between him and them. So if you only greet those who greet you.

00:10:44 Pastor Abe
The Bible says, "You don't. There's no difference between you and another person." Let's say, myself and yourself. Let's say we have this misunderstanding. And you wouldn't greet me. But I am greeting her because you don't have this misunderstanding. The Bible says that you have not done any better ; that there is no difference between you and another person who doesn't know the law. So. There must always be a clear difference between those who know the law, and those who do not know the law. Do you understand? Let's go to this, so this is obedience. So that leads us to what obedience. Now, the question: okay, so she has the question.

00:11:31 Lizzy
So, my question is in the book of Genesis chapter four and Hana Mani. They conceived, and they. Cain and Abel. And, the Bible recorded that Abel was a good keeper, and Cain is a farmer. So both of them gave the Lord a sacrifice. Okay. So the uh the sacrifice of Abel was accepted. Yes But for Cain, it wasn't accepted. Okay So and from what uh the scripture wrote here, Cain hasn't done anything.

00:12:08 Lizzy
But, the Bible said Abel took part of uh the sheep or whatever he killed. He took uh the most beautiful part of it and he sacrificed it. And Cain also did some of his own. So but, The so I don't know what transpired between Cain and Jesus for Jesus not to for God not to accept, The sacrifice of Cain because the Bible has not recorded that Cain has done anything wrong.

00:12:35 Pastor Abe
Okay so, you should be honest okay.

00:12:38 Brook
So I picked up on that too, but my takeaway was the lesson that was being taught. So I thought that basically, that's a lesson that, that Abe has taught before. If you don't receive immediate blessings, not to alter your course or take it personally or change anything. So it was a lesson that Cain changed. He didn't receive those blessings so he stopped the way he was acting. He took it personally. And he needs to understand to have patience.

00:13:10 Pastor Abe
Hallelujah! Any other contribution, God?

00:13:13 Lizzy
But it was after they laid the sacrifice. Yes, I am coming to that now. So before he was married because the sacrifice was done and said," Yes,

00:13:20 Pastor Abe
I am coming to that now." But towards any other contribution, I love the answer that you give. Any other contribution? Okay. So. Now we have to realize that every event that the Bible records did not happen.

00:13:36 Pastor Abe
And then after another, some of them took time, took a while. Some years, some more. For example, the birth of Cain and Abel. The Bible does record that they gave birth to Cain first and Abel. And if you read that it's like one or two lines in between them. No one know that at least it takes nine months to get pregnant, right? To be able to give birth to a baby. So which means, At least that occurrence took nothing less than one year between the birth of Cain and Abel. I also know that there is no way you will be a rear of animal or a farmer.

00:14:34 Pastor Abe
Until you grow up, so which means in process of time, Cain has actually started planting seeds, planting crops. You know all those things and able to start rearing his animals. And for you to be able to get some animals, he must have been doing that for a while. So all those events took years.

00:15:04 Pastor Abe
Took years, but after they were able to get the increase from their fund, then they decided to offer sacrifice. So it didn't happen five years, Ten years ; it took. For example, there are crops that takes one year. So for you to be able to have the yield, they are called annual crops. There are one that takes uh two years. They are called the perennial crops. There are one that takes longer than three years, the perennial crops. So, you see that for you to be able to gather something, It is subject to what you have planted, which will, in many cases take time. You have planted tomatoes before? It took you a while before you harvested?

00:16:04 Pastor Abe
The same thing, So every story or occurrence in the Bible took a while ;, it didn't just happen. And that is why what he said: when you do something, when you pray for example for something, asking God for clarity or for anything, you need patience by continuing to pray and believe in Him. Because when you pray on money. You may not get your answer on Tuesday, But many of us are offended because on Monday or Tuesday, we didn't get the answer to prayers. We prayed for Monday. But, we just read in the Bible that so and so person believed in God and he got it. You don't even know how long it took, understand? So, we know we need to understand the Bible. Amen. The Bible says that we need of patience.

00:17:02 Pastor Abe
Of faith to inherit the promises. Any other question or contribution? Amen. So we go into obedience, just as the Bible would talk about the Book of Genesis, and I have said here that Adam and Eve simply disobeyed the Lord. The point that God was driving out of the revelation He showed Moses. Was what this obedience. Now, first Samuel fifteen one to ten. So it is a long verse, but I am going to summarize it. First Samuel fifteen one to ten. Now and what is obedience? It's an act of following instructions. What other definitions can you give obedience? What other definitions can you give for me? Obedience, how can you best explain.

00:18:01 Pastor Abe
What for me is good. It means, following God's word. Following God's word, it's as simple as that. Following God's word. So, an act of following what? God's word, just like the instruction that God gave unto Adam and Eve. So in four Samuel, thank you. So in four Samuel fifteen one to ten now.

00:18:31 Pastor Abe
So and Samuel said unto Saul, "God said, 'Go into a particular nation, invade them, kill them. Don't spare anything.' But eventually Saul did otherwise." Now in verse fifteen and Saul said they have brought. From the Amalekites, what happened? Someone eventually saw what Saul did. Saul was expected to kill everything and not allow anything to live, according to the instructions of God. But because Saul saw those things were beautiful, he saw beautiful women; he spared them but he brought them with him. He saw all those animals; they were still good.

00:19:29 Pastor Abe
Still, he brought them in. So Saul, in his own wisdom, spared all those beautiful things. But, then we have to be careful when God says do this. ;. We just have to be careful that we are not using our own wisdom because when you do that, it will generate into eternal problem. What I said it will do what generate into eternal problem. And some of that was. And the apostle Abraham, our father Abraham, and Sarah. God had told Abraham, "I'll give me a son Isaac." But in their wisdom, Abraham and Sarah said, "Maybe the Lord will rest child or children through your servant. Then they call unto their uh uh maidservant."

00:20:26 Pastor Abe
And Sarah said, "Just take her and then so that you can have sin. Now the sin that they had there is now still constituting a problem to the world forever." Hagar was the servant, the lady servant. You remember that story? The son of Hagar was Ishmael. Today, Ishmael is the. Father of all Islamic religion. And you see how terrible they are persecuting every being in the world. So, We have to be careful not to do otherwise when it comes to listening to the Lord. Look at what happened, God told Abraham, "I'll be giving you Isaac."

00:21:27 Pastor Abe
And again, to your question, it took a while before Isaac came. But Sarah, Abraham's wife, Thought he can take one of the maidservants and just have a son with her, so that at least that would be your heir, your son. But you know what happened? That single decision is still the problem. To the rest of the world today, and that happened thousands of years ago. Simple act for disobedience. Abraham disobeyed God too. But every single act of disobedience is always attracting the following problem from the Lord. God didn't kill Ishmael; He let him leave because, in the first place, you already brought him to the world.

00:22:26 Pastor Abe
Today, check the whole nation. It is this Muslim fanatics that are causing problem. The terrorists in the world. But it doesn't start overnight. It started during the conversation that Sarah had with Abraham. So, the moment you have a conversation that is different From the original purpose of God, you have to be careful. The moment you have a conversation that goes against the instructions of God, you have to be careful because if you execute it, the moment not the conversation that goes against those instructions, you have to be careful not to execute it because if you do, the result will most likely become.

00:23:24 Pastor Abe
In like the discussion that Sarah had with Abraham, it was Sarah who called him. Today we have Muslim fanatics who are terrorists, terrorizing the nation, killing people in their towns. They are descendants of Ishmael. What a wicked world! Again. The simple disobedience of Adam and Eve also brought so much trouble to the world. God said, "Don't do this thing." And then a conversation occurred. And then they did it. So understand, each time the Lord says, "Do this or don't do this, ", you have to make sure that you don't go against what the Lord says. Now we have the Word of God.

00:24:24 Pastor Abe
Each time you and I go against the instructions of the Bible, the result is not always fun. And, that is why here I want to make sure that we do everything by the scriptures, by the Bible, so that we don't make no mistakes. So Saul was asked to do some things which He did not do. Do you know what God did to him? God took the kingdom away from him. So who had the privilege to become the fourth king of Israel? God took the kingdom from him and then look at his servant. Okay, now uh in verse, let me read from verse.

00:25:24 Pastor Abe
Nineteen, wherefore then did thou not obey the voice of the Lord? But this fly upon this boy and did evil in the sight of the Lord. Every time you disobey the Lord, is evil in the sight of the Lord. And Saul said unto Samuel, Yet I have obeyed the voice of the Lord and gone in way whom sent me. Verse one for to this boy. Verse two and Samuel said because someone's argument was that All the animals that were brought, we want to use this to sacrifice unto the Lord. Just like you and I do today. Sometimes, if we do something that are not okay, we will even say at least this can make me some go better. Oh no. Someone said ask the Lord as great delight in both offerings and sacrifices?

00:26:22 Pastor Abe
Compare to obey the voice of the Lord, behold, To obey is what better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams. So now he has seen. And then verse twenty six and Samuel said unto Saul, " I will not return with thee for thou hast, rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord as what has rejected thee." For being king over Israel, so God rejected Saul for that single act of disobedience. People of God, God doesn't joke when it comes to obeying His words. The Bible each time we come to disobey the Bible if the Bible says.

00:27:20 Pastor Abe
Do this, and we want to go our way. God is not going to jump down to say, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't do it!" No. But there is always a consequence for disobeying the word of the law. So next week, we'll be reading Genesis chapters six to ten and Matthew chapters six to ten. So. We come really to also discuss. So do we clarify Genesis chapter six to ten and Genesis chapter six, I mean, and Matthew chapter six to ten, ten chapters of the Bible each week. And then we come to discuss. We must understand the Bible. Amen. Do, you have any question for me or addition that I want to share with people?

00:28:18 Pastor Abe
Concerning what we have talked all even on another subject, let us all contribute and then, if any question, Amen. You have a question contribution? Okay.

00:28:33 Kara
So, whether now she has her signal to come back and regain the kingdom like that's it. So does it?

00:28:40 Pastor Abe
There was no chance for Samuel to come back and reclaim the kingdom.

00:28:50 Pastor Abe
Okay, So now let's understand that under the Old Testament dispensation, they did not have such grace as we do today, because at that time, Jesus Christ had not died. And that is why under the New Testament, the Bible calls it "the law of sin and what?" and death. The Old Testament is a law of sin and death. You do this, and you get this. You do that, and you get this. And under the Old Testament, forgiveness was not so common. But under the New Testament, hey! We have Jesus who already paid the price. Amen! And then for that, let's put our hands for Jesus for dying for us. We have so many chances here in here because of today. So.

00:29:49 Mark
Would, you say it's like a two sided coin, where you treat your son, like your brother or your father? So in the hand you're feeding or you're getting feed from, there's consequences for trying to make sacrifices and try to disobey God's words. How he's trying to follow the timeline or through people. Almost,

00:30:12 Pastor Abe
Almost I have a question. Almost I have a question. Huh? I did not understand that. Okay, I don't fully understand that. Okay,

00:30:20 Mark
Ask the question again. So, it was treating your son like your brother in the timeline, because sacrifices from the hand you feed could lead to consequences where the bloodline gets switched from a two- sided coin. Every time, you try to make a choice for somebody else, and there's problems or disputes. It causes wars and uh this confusion.

00:30:50 Pastor Abe
Okay, so I guess okay, so let me say this. Now, So when when you want to do something right now to make sure that is in accordance to number one, the laws that governs where we live. One number two. The Lord that governs your belief, two things. For example, they are trying to do something good. God like father and so on. You have to be led by the spirit of God or be guided by the spirit of God to know how what you mean at that spot, your son and your father. There are um look.

00:31:46 Pastor Abe
Since is your son, you can always call your son to say, "Hey, son. You know what? You know this is my father. But I've got other opportunity for you. Let me quickly settle this father and let him be okay. And then the rest of the chances belongs to you, your son because you have the chance, the grace, the power." To call your son and explain situations to him. Now, before you make your decision, you have to make sure that you always call the person to explain. Not explaining enough can lead to problems. Do you understand what I mean now? So, where we fail is that we don't explain enough before taking the decision. And then whatever thing you are trying to do now results into problems.

00:32:45 Pastor Abe
And, then you feel bad that oh I'm trying to do something good for them is resulting into uh something not nice. But in actual sense, you have not done the best job by not explaining to either parties before you take your decision before you take that step. So most times, it is important for me to explain. So people can understand before you. Amen. Any other question, Alicia? So if we don't have any other questions, let's speak an answer for Jesus Christ and then we'll proceed in the service. Amen. Hallelujah!

00:33:37 Kara
Let us rise to our feet. Let us rise to our feet and begin to welcome the Holy Spirit into our midst. Holy Spirit, we invite you here.

00:48:50 Pastor Abe
In the name of Jesus. In Jesus' mighty name, we are praying. I have a prayer point and I want us to pray very, very well. So this morning, when I was sitting in the office and the Lord opened my eyes and I saw. Now don't freak out now, okay? But I just want to tell us what I saw. And that will be the second time I'll be seeing it, and I saw it so clearly. So I saw his spirit peeping and was looking at me. So then I understood that this are called the territorial spirits. So when they see, and I am telling you the truth, when they see that is spirit life church.

00:49:47 Pastor Abe
Is around. They want to make sure, to frustrate things around, so that you are not able to stand or to stay. To either scare you away or not. And that'll be the second time. But this morning, so the first time was on Friday when we were praying here on Friday. So, and I came before everyone and each time I moved inside, I would feel that spirit, but today it was peeping. I saw the spirit was peeping while I was in the office there. So we are going to pray. We are going to repeat after me: "Oh God, I take authority over every power that is not of God in this place and around in the neighborhood."

00:50:41 Pastor Abe
In the name of Jesus, let's talk to God. I take authority over every foul spirit, every spirit that is not of God in this place, in this environment, in this neighborhood. I take authority over you and I say the Lord rebuke you. In the name of Jesus, I say the Lord rebuke you. In Jesus' mighty name. Look on Friday when I was going back to court, I had to leave my office room there to go and check the car out there.

00:51:10 Pastor Abe
I also to show you how real it was. So I left, I was, who was there? Because you could feel that someone was there. So I just let it slide. But today, when I came in again, I could feel some people around. But until I saw this very thing and said oh! Is you, you know. So, we're going to pray again that the Lord rebuke you every power that is not of God. Every power is called territorial spirit. They are trying to tell me that, "Hey, we are dominating this area. What are you doing in this area?" Yes, that's the message: "We are the ones dominating this area. What are you doing here?" But we have.

00:52:07 Pastor Abe
To take authority in the land. So we're going to pray every spirit, every power that is not of God, all territorial spirits. The Lord rebuke you. Let's preach to them. Territorial spirits in this place, the Lord rebuke you in the name of Jesus. The Lord rebuke you and Jesus march in here with prayer. Let's have a seat. Amen. Let's have a seat, let's take our seat dwelling in His presence, I wanna be where you are. Dwellin' in your presence. Feasting at your table. Surrounded by your glory. In your presence, that's where I always wanna be. I just want to be.

00:53:07 Pastor Abe
I just want to be I just want to be with you. I, just wanna be where you are Dwelling daily in your presence. Take me to the place where you are I just want to be with you. Dwelling in the presence of God, Psalms ninety one and verses one to two. Psalms ninety one, verses one to two. I want us to read together the two verses: "One to go, He that dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge."

00:54:07 Pastor Abe
And my fortress, my God, in Him I will trust. The anointing of God, Ready the exposition of the anointing of God is the divine manifest presence of God. Wherever you are and you can't feel the anointing of God, it simply means the presence of God is not there. So, the anointing of God which is the Holy Ghost. The feeling of the Holy Ghost, the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit, is what we call the presence of God. When you sit in a place or you find yourself in a place where the Word of God is being taught, and you can't even feel the power and the grace of God, it simply means that the presence of God is not there.

00:55:05 Pastor Abe
Then I have told the Lord, He said, "I don't want to go to where Your presence will not be. " The first thing that minister of God that we invited last month July twenty fifth he came with his wife. The moment he got in here remember what he said? He said, "Oh I feel the presence of God." Can you see?

00:55:34 Pastor Abe
He said, "I feel the presence of God dwelling in the presence of God. What does that mean? Dwelling in the presence of God ought to be a all time experience, Not as in the Old Testament when they had this spirit that comes upon them once in a while. Now under the New Testament, we have the indwelling of the Spirit of God. You understand?" So which means. At all times, you carry what you have the presence of God. At all times. So which means when you walk, you are walking with the presence of God with you. Not as in the Old Testament. When the spirit of God will come upon their ones in a while. Under this new dispensation of grace, this grace of God is always with you.

00:56:33 Pastor Abe
And that is the presence of God. So, which means you are not alone. Say, "I am not alone." So, It is an all-time experience and daily living, rather than occasional experience like during prayers. It's normal when you pray and feel the presence of God occasionally worshiping God or special moments of ministry for this? But what happens when I don't pray? Why are you not worshiping? Does that mean you don't have the praise of God? No, the praise of God should be all the time in your life. I am with you. How many remember I told us on Friday when someone asked me on Wednesday, he said, "Oh, can you tell me what to perceive from me?" I wasn't praying. I wasn't worshiping God because my car didn't have the praise of God. I said.

00:57:30 Pastor Abe
I don't just tell people what I gather, I tell you what I know. You see? Now, by all that experience, it means a constant connection between you and God. Now, by the Holy Ghost, there will be a constant connection between you and God by the Holy Ghost. Anyone, who do not have a constant connection between you and God, it means the person has not gotten himself, right. I remember a long time ago, about twenty years ago, or even more than that. I can't forget this experience. A young lady came to me and were chatting, were talking. And I said, "What's your name?" And then she said, "You are a pastor." I said yes. She said, "You ask God to tell you my name." I said well. I think I can ask God if He wants He will tell me. She said, "I want you to ask God my name."

00:58:27 Pastor Abe
Now, people of God, I am right on the altar of God here. I can't be standing out in line. I am telling you the truth. I said, "Well, if God wishes He will tell me. " And then one thing about to know :, you can't force God to speak to you. You can ask Him and He will when He wants. Amen. So I said okay no problem. I'll ask God, if He tells me no, and if He doesn't tell me no, then. I said, "God, what is a name?" And the Lord spoke to me. I was in spirit. We were both there. The Lord spoke to me and said, "She was asking for her last name." You know. So I said, "What's her last name?" And the Lord said, "For example," Let's say Jane. Her name. Her last name is not Jane, but if I say her last name, now you won't know how to pronounce it, you know. So.

00:59:27 Pastor Abe
And the Lord said, "Your last name is Zane." I heard God clearly. And I said, "Okay." I said, "Okay. God has told you. God has told you that your last name is Zane." She looked at me, removed her sandal and ran away. The presence of God must always be with you. And, that is why there must be a connection between you and God all the time. I ask God, and the Lord speaks to me when He wants to. That's a great thing. And when He doesn't want to tell me, He's not telling me. That is right. So in this dispensation, there is no divine experience of the presence of God without the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, you are not in walks. Let's look at the experience of Jesus in Luke number three.

01:00:24 Pastor Abe
Twenty one to twenty two, even Jesus Christ had the experience of the Holy Ghost. Luke chapter three, twenty one to twenty two. Now when all the people were baptized, he came to father Jesus also being baptized and praying. The heavens were opened. Twenty two says, and the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "Thou art my beloved son." In me, in me, I am. Look at what happened: the Holy Ghost descended upon Jesus, but on Simon there was no word. But actually, the Holy Ghost descended upon Jesus Christ. Then John had that word: "This is my beloved Son. " So, there is no divine experience or the praise of God. Except you have a connection with the Spirit of God.

01:01:22 Pastor Abe
And sent me up the voice of the Lord with the spirit of God. Now, the Holy Spirit resides in you. The Holy Spirit permanently resides in you for the experience of His presence. The Holy Spirit must be residing in you permanently. He doesn't come and goes. When you have the Holy Spirit, that is in you, He John seven thirty eight, The Bible says, "He that believes for me," this is Jesus Christ speaking. He said, "He that believes for me." I want us to read together. One to go: "He that believes for me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." He that believes on me. Said out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water all the time. That's the river!

01:02:21 Pastor Abe
That was never non dry. As huge, as the Red Sea. He still parted ways by. But the river of the Holy Spirit of living or of the spirit of God, just not to run dry, And then Jesus Christ says out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John chapter four and verse fourteen. The Bible says. But whosoever drinketh of this water that I shall give him shall never want. Shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Now, before we close before prayer, let me tell you this: The Holy Spirit in you is not for depression.

01:03:22 Pastor Abe
The only spirit in you is for you to be able to interact with God. And therefore, you ask Him questions and He answers you. He leads you. When you read the account of Genesis chapters one to five, in Genesis chapter five, you will see this only that everything that God had to do was just Guided him. When Martin want to fight, God told Joseph, "Take the baby from point A to point B." It's not as if God loved King Pharaoh. But God was teaching you and I that there is a time when we need to listen to instruction. Understand? This is just what I'm talking about.

01:04:20 Pastor Abe
Who would dare to kill Jesus Christ as a baby? Nobody. Because God will not allow that, right? But yet, God still told J ose ph : " T ake. This baby because some people are coming to kill him." Right? God should have just left the baby there and killed those who are coming to kill him. But God was teaching you and I how to be led of the Spirit, how to listen to instruction. How to follow instructions? Don't say, "Because I am of God and God is speaking to you, don't go there and you go there. You'll be punished for that." So in that Bible number five, chapter five to five, God was teaching us how to be prophetic in the name of God by His Spirit dwelling in His Spirit. So the Holy Spirit in us is not for decoration ;. It's for us to be able to make conversation—youk now—dialogue.

01:05:20 Pastor Abe
Leading and then, we were fine. And then God instructed Joseph, take Jesus from A to B to C and finally back to Galilee. Do you understand? When we are reading that place, you should ask yourself: Why did God have to start hiding Jesus? Could God have come? Can he just kill those people, those enemies looking for his life? He could, but he will not. If he had killed them, then he will not be teaching you and I patience, how to be the lamb of God, how to follow instruction. Do you understand what I am saying? Because in the first place if you want to kill anyone definitely not Jesus. You can't kill people.

01:06:18 Pastor Abe
But God told Joseph, "Take the baby, go and hide him here, go and hide him there." Why? Because He wants me and you and I to know that there is a time where we need to follow His instructions. I've told us many times, And I like to say every time, how that I almost didn't want to be. The work of the job of the ministry, God could tell another person, but God had to speak to me many times. Many times, The most important word : " G od was only trying to show me that there is also a time that you need to follow instruction." He can ask another person; he can ask many people, right? Who would have replaced me? So understand that.

01:07:17 Pastor Abe
The Holy Spirit in us is not meant for decoration, but it's meant for us to speak to. Now many of us have not been hearing from God, it is because we have not been speaking to the Holy Spirit in us. This is anointing sound. Now how do you communicate with God? Simple, He has you and I. You have the spirit of God in you. Ask Him questions and then relax, wait until He gives you an answer when ask God questions Prayerfully, he still continue to ask him question. I mean, you see, no need to pray until you get the answer. I remember a time where recently when I said God, I needed to speak to me, give me another confirmation about this job. And I specifically asked God tell me about someone who is sick, that I never knew of. Tell me, what the problem is and I want to pray for that person and allow the person to be healed. I did that on Monday.

01:08:15 Pastor Abe
Not the son of money. God didn't do nothing until Wednesday. See, three days after, And I was just sitting down in the couch. And God spoke to me that this person I called the person, he said yes. I prayed heaven to hold it now. The Holy Spirit is made for conversation to help us, and that is the anointing of. Now, look at the exposition again. Said the anointing of God is the divine manifest presence of God, and without that you cannot have it. You see, the Holy Spirit will reside in you permanently. Hallelujah to God! Amen. So I want us to rise about it. I want us to speak to God.

01:09:15 Pastor Abe
Lord, I surrender all unto you. Let the Holy Spirit in me begin to speak to me. Lord, I surrender all unto you. Let the Holy Spirit in me begin to speak to me. In the name of Jesus, let the Holy Spirit in me begin to speak to me. In the name of Jesus.

01:09:47 Pastor Abe
Let the Holy Spirit, Amen, begin to speak to me in the name of Jesus. I surrender all unto You. I surrender all unto the Spirit of God in the name of Jesus. I surrender all to Jesus.

01:10:18 Pastor Abe
Said, "I surrender all. Lord, I surrender all unto the Spirit of God in the name of Jesus. The Spirit of God is not meant for pastors alone. ; He's meant for every born called sons and daughters of God. And the Holy Spirit was His people; He expected to communicate with Him." Lord, today we are being impacted. We are anointing of the Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus. But first, I want you to speak to God. I surrender all unto You, Holy Spirit. Speak to me. I surrender all unto You, Holy Spirit. Speak to me in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, speak to me. Lead me in the name of Jesus Christ lead me holy spirit from God lead me in the name of jesus christ, lead me in the name of jesus christ live with.

01:11:18 Pastor Abe
In the name of Jesus, thank you Lord. In Jesus mighty name we are praying. I want you to stretch forth your hands as I pray for impartation. Spirit of grace, I pray, let the anointing of God come upon you and begin to manifest in your life. Let the Holy Spirit of God resume work and begin to lead you. Direct you in the name of Jesus. Because, we have the spirit of God in us as a well springing forth into everlasting life. Therefore, Holy Spirit, here we are surrendering all unto You. Take charge, lead us. Take charge, lead us in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit divine take charge in the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord!

01:12:17 Pastor Abe
Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Let's give thanks to Almighty God. Let's give Him praise. Let's offer shout in. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name, we are praying. Amen and amen! All, right. So we're going to be closing the service right now. So next week, the week of thirty uh, thirty five, with thirty fifth. Let's also try and read Genesis chapter six to ten. Matthew chapter six to ten. Then we come here on Sunday, uh, to discuss and then we go from the Amen and Amen. And again, I have to welcome you, sir. You're welcome. Uh, his name is Daniel Lord. Lord bless you. What's the name again? Kelly So, we are glad to see you here. You don't have any trouble that are going before. You're always welcome Come around.

01:13:14 Pastor Abe
Let's share the scriptures together. Invite people. Let's share the Bible. Let's teach the Bible, and I know that we shall have amazing results. Jesus Christ said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel." We need to still go into all the world to preach the gospel, to teach people what the Bible has to say before Jesus comes back. We are in the last days, you know? We are in the last days, therefore things are happening. But we need to stand as Christian, as soldiers of God. You know, we were discussing about that. We need to stand as Christian and as soldiers of God against all the vows of the enemies. The enemies wants to try and wipe off Christians, but that will never be in the name of Jesus. Amen and amen. Let us pray: Father God, I pray that as we go this week you bless us in Jesus name. Lord make your face shine on us.

01:14:13 Pastor Abe
In the name of Jesus, bless our work, bless our jobs, bless our families. Order ourselves, direct us. Those who are sick will not be actually in it. In the name of Jesus. So shall it be in Jesus' mighty name we are prayed. Amen and amen, Hallelujah! Amen.
