heavenly greetings in Jesus mighty name
yes we are back live and direct here in
the UOG
studio we just want to say a big thank
you to all the UOG family yes we went on
a missionary journey to Brazil and we
took a wonderful team with us first of
all we want to thank God for their lives
and we want to thank God for all of you
members students partners of the UG who
supported us in prayer who supported us
in so many ways to make this journey
possible and we really want to thank you
and tell you that God is the rewarder
yes truly it was a missionary journey we
saw God opening doors there and
naturally things happened as God wanted
them to happen and it was such a
blessing to see the spirit of God move
in a way um to bring blessing and
healing and deliverance and also to
strengthen the faith of believers in
Brazil and we were able to visit
different churches even on the last
night before we flew back we went to
another church you probably saw live
we'd ask you to take your time to watch
those messages um they're going to be
reposted on the UG channel take your
time to go through those live events we
believe that it will bless your heart
and your spirit because truly when the
power of God is present healing
deliverance is just like breathing and
we've been receiving so many testimonies
also people that were watching live
received their own miracle so remember
there's no time there's no distance that
can stop the power of God so you too you
can watch those live services and also
receive your healing and your blessing
and your breakthrough but everything
that has a beginning has an end and
we're here to say that we're back from
that missionary journey and truly it is
the year of real movement we started off
in South Africa with a partner meeting
then God led us to Brazil where we spent
almost five weeks traveling around
Brazil different churches invited the UG
and this is the mission and vision of
the University of God right from the
beginning if you go back to the
beginning of the mission right the issue
of strengthening churches traveling
around helping the body of Christ this
is what God has sent us to do and we
cannot do it alone so we want to thank
you and appreciate you especially all
our team that sacrificed their time
their love to travel with us for five
weeks thank you so much for doing that

experienced God in a unique way he's
faithful god is absolutely
faithful so faithful and there are
things that God has in reserve for you
and when you

heart yes God is good god is good god is

movement the day you face a
situation you step out in faith you will
see the reality and the goodness of God
to back you up to rescue you to give you

now we're going to share a message that
will build your faith encourage you in
your work for God and make you an
overcomer in Jesus name we'd love to
hear your voice but we can read your
comments so tell us where you're
connecting from if you're just joining
us you are so welcome and we know that
all of you can't wait for the prayer but
before the prayer God wants to speak to
your heart why to prepare your heart for
what he wants to do in your life that is
the purpose of the word of God
what's the ground of your heart like
because remember the word of God has to
be planted in your heart that's the good
soil but what's the state of your heart
that's the question and that is the
eternal question actually no matter what
we face in life no matter the
experiences no matter the lessons no
matter what comes our way on this
journey through life we have a great
responsibility every single day and that
is what do we do with our heart yes
because we do have that decision in our
hands it's in our hands and that is
actually the greatest battle how to
control our heart how to control our
spirit how to submit our spirit to the
control of God's spirit and yes we do
have a role to play it's not just all up
to God certainly it's not all up to you
it takes God's divine ability but your
own genuine
willingness are you willing
are you willing to meet Jesus are you
willing to change from where you are now
to where God wants you to be are you
willing to change from how you are now
to how God wants you to be it's not a
change in the substance of the soul but
it's a change of the quality of the soul
we're going to break that down for you
today because it's all about the battle
of the ages there is a
battle not a physical battle but it's a
spiritual battle and it's real and it
exists and you have a part to play so
first of all we want to take you to the
book of Ephesians right yes ephesians
chapter 6 let's start from verse
10 h
are you there with your Bible 10 to 12
yes let's go from verse 10 finally my
brethren be strong in the Lord and in
the power of his might put on the whole
armor of God that you may be able to
stand against the ws of the devil for we
do not wrestle against flesh and blood
but against principalities against
powers against the rulers of the
darkness of this age against spiritual
hosts of wickedness in the heavenly
places therefore take up the whole armor
of God that you may be able to withstand
in the evil day and having done all to
stand
stand therefore having girded your waist
with truth having put on the breastplate
of righteousness and having shaw your
feet with the preparation of the gospel
of peace above all taking the shield of
faith with which you will be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
one and take the helmet of salvation and
the sword of the spirit which is the
word of God praying always with all
prayer and supplication in the spirit
being watchful to this end with all
perseverance and supplication for all
the saints and for me the utterance may
be given to me that I may open my mouth
boldly to make known the mystery of the
gospel for which I am an ambassador in
chains that in it I may speak boldly as
I ought to speak who is speaking apostle
Paul who was
Paul you remember Paul before mhm before
he encountered Jesus he was one of the
greatest enemy of the gospel
he was fighting Christian persecuting
them in a terrible way and the
scriptures say the zeal he had in
persecuting Christian led him to go to
foreign countries
to pursue them to force them to blasphe
fighting Jesus but he realized later
that he was not fighting human beings he
was fighting Jesus
so if somebody's fighting you as a child
of God indirectly he's fighting Jesus
the battle is the Lord's when Jesus met
him say Saul Saul why are you
persecuting me
he never say why are you persecuting my
children believers why are you
persecuting me m
so the battle as we've said is not your
battle it is Jesus
battle when we understand this oh my god
you will have peace
the enemy want you to shift the battle
to you to your shoulders to your power
and might the enemy wants you to believe
that you are
alone he want you to take you to the
natural field That's where he's very
good he want you to focus on the
situation at hand to focus on those who
harm you to those who provoke you so you
can focus on the
natural and I remember the teachings of
prophet Joshua says the believer has no
strength as long as he operates in the
natural it's true i repeat the
believer has no strength as long as he
operates in the natural how do you
operate in the natural we operate in the
natural when we rely on our senses
the greatest battle you and I we all of
us have today is with our
senses because the scripture says the
moment you accept Jesus as your Lord and
Savior the moment you are born again you
find yourself living in the world
dominated by
Satan that's why we say we are in the
world we are not a part of it that means
we should not allow the world and its
values to live in our heart what do you
mean by values you don't you don't fight
with the weapons of the world
you don't fight with the same weapon
they use against
you jesus fights the battle in
righteousness but Satan uses
unrighteousness to fight you
lies
persecution negative situation
injustice to weigh you down to oppress
you his purpose is to break our
confidence in God his purpose is to make
you feel isolated i don't know whether
you have watched lions when they're
hunting they observe a
flock and they put their focus on the
weakest one or one who is isolated from
the her so you can attack him and
separate him and attack him that's what
the devil does
he wants you to focus on your weakness
he wants you to focus on the situation
at hand he wants you to focus on how you
are treated by people
he
look
success victory the calling of God in
your life has nothing to do with your
strength it has nothing to do with your
weakness or strength it has to do with
what Jesus Christ has done for you at
the cross of Calvary i
repeat the plan of God for your life the
purpose of God for your life in every
section of your life what you're going
to be in the future in God's plan has
nothing to do with your
background has nothing to do with your
physical strength strength has nothing
to do with your weakness as well it has
to do with what God Jesus Christ has
done for you at the cross of
Calvary we have mentioned Saul saul was
a persecutor but he never knew that in
the plan of God God has predestined him
to be a servant of
Christ god has predestined him to serve
Jesus how do we serve Jesus by preaching
the gospel how can enemy become friend
that's the question I'm asking you i'm
telling you the
truth if you focus on
Jesus one day your enemy will become
your friends
those who reject you will come and say
"I'm sorry." And that's when you know
the battle is not your own there's
there's a great mystery in leaving the
battle to God that's we call the battle
of the age why do we call it the battle
of ages this battle will never stop
exactly as long as we are in this body
on this earth there will be a battle
there will be a struggle this battle
will never stop as long as you are in
this flesh in this body in this world so
now today he want to give you the
strategy to overcome this
battle when Satan want to disfocus you
when you are disfocused you aim at the
wrong advers at the wrong how you call
it target target
instead of targeting the real enemy you
target your
brother your wife your husband
your fellow human beings they are not
our enemies they are not your target
the target is Satan can use any person
who is not of Christ who is not
connected to God uses his ignorance uses
the emotion of that person to provoke
you to attack you because of the
ignorance of whom they are in
Christ when you look every day you will
see the devil uses man's unrighteousness
as instrument for his purpose
when you see somebody who is doing bad
things a criminal killing stealing
destruction such person is under the
control of a spirit that's a note of
Jesus but Jesus never come to kill to
steal to destroy that's the devil but
Jesus comes to give you life in
abundance now many marriages
unfortunately has hit the rock i've seen
many marriages distined by
God separated by circumstances of
life many good
friends many good partners
separated by circumstances of
life so please to overcome this
battle you need to aim at the right
target you need to identify your source
you need to identify your weapon you
need to identify where the victory comes
from where the victory comes from if I
ask you many tell in the word the
victory came at the cross of Calvary
at the cross of
Calvary jesus has defeated
Satan jesus has defeated the world for
you it is a past tense victory the cross
is not a message of failure is a message
of
victory jesus gave his life for you and
I to be saved to be delivered from the
slavery of sin of Satan jesus
resurrected for you believe in him
receive the Holy Spirit oh my God and
now the overcomer dwells in you the
overcomer is living inside of you now
what is the problem satan does not want
you to know that truth he does not want
you to know that you are not alone the
Christ is in you the hope of
glory what does he do he will shift you
to the natural to the situation at hand
to your brother to your sister to your
wife as your enemy and you begin to
fight that person what is
happy when you make things easy for him
we make things easy for him every time
we look at human being as our
enemies
but the moment you identify devil as a
real enemy he's defeated immediately
he's exposed and the moment you identify
the real battle the field of battle is
in the spirit that's when you realize
that it's not a natural one you remember
the battle between David and Goliath yes
yes in 1 Samuel chapter 17 when you
start reading from verse 39 when the
king gave him his armory what did he say
he said I'm not used to this i'm not I
can't walk in this i can you see I'm not
used to this this is weapons of man he
saw that
Goliath was not the actual enemy there
was an enemy bigger than Goliath behind
it that spirit of devil that is behind
him to make but be afraid
david was a small boy compared to that
giant you could have crushed him in one
blow but David said "You come to me with
the weapons of man spear javelin but I
come to you in the name of the Lord of
Israel whom you have defied and how what
did he say?" He proclaimed the word of
faith he spoke the word of faith he said
"Today I will cut your head today I will
offer the carcasses of the Philistine to
the birds of the air." That's what he
said because he knew it wasn't about the
greatness of the giant but the greatness
of God
absolutely now everything he said came
to pass but today when you are this
focus and fear
come it begin to increase the size of
your problem mentally it begin to
increase your giant growth greater
greater than God and you are overwhelmed
fear take you and you don't move in
faith and you be afraid that's where the
devil want to bring fear m that's why
today you can be a Christian saved a
child of God but many are murmuring
today many are walking heads down as if
God has abandoned them where is my faith
where is this you fail to understand
that the source of the victory is deep
deep deep inside of you it's true
because many people like you said
they're still in the senses ruled by the
senses carnally so what's the difference
between them and and everyone else there
needs to be a difference our weapons of
war are not carnal they're not physical
they're spiritual there needs to be a
difference if truly we are children of
God there should be a difference in the
way we see life in the way we behave in
the way we look at things in the way we
react to situations in the battle that
we face and the greatest battle is where
on our knees yes in prayer i'm coming to
that why in prayer because your enemy
has strategy and tactics m every army
when they're fighting they want to send
spies why to try to know the strategy
and tactics of the adversary what is the
strategy of Satan what is his aim to
cause you to see God in the bad light to
say God does not exist to reject faith
and go back to the world that's what he
want what are his tactics that's the
instrument he used name calling insult
situation terrible situation to cause
you to doubt the goodness of God and
these things are in the natural not in
the
spirit so the Bible says we walk by
faith not by sight that is the question
this is the battle we face the greatest
battle we face as long as we live is
with our senses
these are the eyes of my body right
they see
impossibilities trouble digger they
cannot see beyond the facts when this
eyes are open and your faith is down you
are born to be overwhelmed by the size
of your circumstance
situation
now what is our strategy and tactics god
has given you and I
strategy tactics that will never fail
never never never never fail if the aim
of my enemy is to disconnect me from
Jesus me and my soul should come from
Jesus it's true
rather than running away from Jesus I
run to Jesus it's true we shouldn't make
it easy for the devil we shouldn't tempt
him to tempt us it's true because many
times I think we we live our life as if
we believe that God is not aware of the
battles we face and we as if we don't
know that God actually has solution to
those battles like you said the strategy
and tactics
you know the Holy Spirit knows every
question on the test the tests written
for you he knows the questions he knows
the tests he knows the troubles so
that's why we have to trust in him for
his strategy his tactics to get us out
of it we have many relationship that god
has brought brought to your life to
bless you you have a blessed wife a
blessed husband and children for
lifetime for God's sake but the strategy
of the enemy is in the course of time to
break this covenant
to bring misunderstanding to build on it
and to separate you can see people
started a wonderful journey i love you
for a lifetime for better and for worse
after five two it's become something
different because of what circumstances
of this
earth things on the outside some say hey
I love Jesus I'm a Christian there are
many that grew cold today and even don't
go to church don't pray anymore what
because of circumstances of this life
that Satan is happy when you do that but
once we know his
strategy now his tactics become evident
for
When somebody come and provoke you or
situation come difficulty come as Rose
died what do you do
you have one weapon God has given
you go in the prayer room that's the
battlefield
don't fight in the natural go to the
secret place and bring all the
insult all the negative circumstances
all the threats to the throne of grace
and give it to Jesus that's what the
Lord said come to me oh you are heavy
legend i will give you rest that looks
so easy but that's the truth
because it is easy it is difficult for
you to believe it it is true we we
believe we have to make so much effort
whereas to surrender our burdens to God
it's a decision but we have to do it
many of us we we we after praying we
seem we feel more burdened than ever
because we've not actually given our
burdens to God we want to we want to
keep our burdens because we think it's
in our strength it's not our strength
paul the persecutor who know how to use
weapon to persecute people when he was
persecuted apostle what did he do he
gave himself to prayer
david was persecuted he say I give
myself to prayer
when negative circumstance come when
trouble come and seems to challenge your
faith go to the secret place
and bring it to Jesus i'm telling you
the truth before you realize it you will
see the hand of God the question is
though do I in if I invite God or I
don't want to invite God if you invite
God you invite God in the spirit
cuz God is in the spirit your enemy is
in the spirit there's one game we call
in French marionet somebody is using
some like a puppet puppet show how could
I call it you you have some strings to
control the movement of the Yeah like a
puppet show yeah that's how certain he's
manipulating people against you but the
one who's manipulating is behind the
scene you can't see him he's behind the
curtain of reality he's hiding in the
spirit that's the devil so when you go
to
Jesus when the Lord looks at the devil
when the Holy Spirit looks at him if you
see him running you will not be afraid
anymore the battle is the Lord
now before we talk about strategy and
tactics we need to learn the way of God
when you mention every general of God
who overcame the battle of life just
study his life study the way he handled
persecution he handled difficult time
mention any successful person
today study his life he went through
difficult situation through mountains
through valleys to but he never gave up
that is the
issue don't give
up don't surrender
oh my God stand in faith even if the
house is shaking even if you your belief
is shaking you are doubting stand in the
gap don't move stay in the prayer room
stay in attitude of
prayer before you realize it the mighty
hand of God will come because the Bible
says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 Ruth can you
read it for us before you explain
more so are you facing difficulty in
your personal life in your private life
in your spiritual life no matter the
difficulty you are facing there is a
promise of victory today
no temptation has over overtaken you
except such as is common to man god is
faithful he will not allow you to be
tempted beyond what you are able god
will never allow you beyond what you can
bear beyond what you can endure mhm but
with the temptation will also make the
way of escape that you may be able to
bear it there is a way out for you
no matter how terrible that situation is
there is a way out for you jesus went to
the cross people saw death there was a
way out out of the grave he came out
whatever situation you face there is
something greater than it god's purpose
is beyond that god's power is beyond
that jesus is greater than all the
circumstances of your life the question
is what is your
attitude this battle between the flesh
and the
spirit you are in between there is God
there is a world there
situation which one do you turn your
focus to are you going to turn your
focus to the world to the situation or
look to God the question how do we look
to God
truth how do we look to God we don't
look to God with his eyes we look
inwardly inside of
you first John chapter 4 verse4 what
does it
says 1 John 4:4 what does it say to you
and you know it by by heart this verse
what does it say
you are of God little children and have
overcome them because he who is in you
is greater than he who is in the world
can you read it again i want every
person to believe this word say it again
you are of God you my brother you my
sister watching me shivering trembling
god say you are an overcomer
and have overcome them because he who is
in you is greater than he who is in the
world he said he never say you are going
to overcome he say you have overcome he
says you have overcome the battle is a
past tense victory because he who dwells
in you who is d who is living in
you who is living in you jesus jesus
Christ Holy Spirit the greatest victor
we have never seen dwells in you the one
who said to the wind and the waves be
still oh my God and they were still if
the one who overcomes the enemy cannot
see dwells in you you will overcome
every obstacle daily by acting on his
word by acting on the word of God if you
believe that word is true
for your life is it true now let's talk
about
ourselves let's talk about ourselves
when there is a war and
situation what is the first thing they
will do everybody assess
themselves ah do I have enough weapon to
stand this
person in the olden days it was a law of
the stronger if a strong army came and
surrender a small town before they
engage the battle and be eradicated they
will see okay we are too small but
surrender and become the slave that's
what they were doing they assess the
weapon say ah can we stand okay let's
make peace with them and let's become
their vessel and that's how they were
doing before they will offer them peace
if you surrender I will take you off and
you become my
servant that's how they do in the
natural so now if you look at your
weapons what are your
weapons it's not gun it's not knife it's
not
blow what are your weapons Jesus has
given us a weapon that no demon of hell
can withstand one second the sword of
the spirit the sword of the spirit which
is the word of God now the question
which word of God are we talking about
it's not you go to the Bible and read
the verse and just say it that's not the
weapon that's not a weapon that's your
mouth but what is the weapon go to the
secret place no matter how difficult it
is no matter how tears you are afraid
and trembling you are and I believe that
David was shaking his fear
but if you walk on that fear you will
see the greatness of God in your life
that's what faith is all
about so now we are going to learn the
strategy and tactics and the weapons God
given us but first of all you have to
assess yourself your strength
where is your
strength where is your source
how do you look at your
situations how do you consider how do
you assess the situation at
hand is it impossibilities or is it
possible is there a way out or not i'm
talking to
believers if you are a believer how do
you look at your situation matters the
strength has to come from within you
because it cannot come from something on
the outside thank you cuz that's always
changing things around us even
physically we're changing the situation
around us is changing the only thing
which doesn't change is God's word it
remains the same yesterday today and
forever
so go on go ahead go ahead no I'm just
saying so we have to look deep within us
that's where we see the fountain of
faith you don't know whom you are that
is the
problem you don't know whom who you are
you don't know the weapons God has given
you you don't know the source of your
strength you don't know what kind of
battle you are
fighting the moment you identify your
source the moment you recognize that the
battle is in the spirit the moment you
begin to see that this situation is
nothing something behind it oh you will
change your focus
you will choose the right weapon and you
will the right stand the right equipment
of faith to stand it
we are not fighting flesh and
bones you are not fighting human being
we are fighting devil evil spirit behind
circumstances of life
so who are you i'm asking you who are
you how do you see
yourself as you are you a mere human or
are you a child of God yeah this person
say "Angel ch God is my source." I'm
asking you are you born again or are you
in the
natural can somebody answer
me are you a child of
God is the Holy Spirit living inside of
you if Christ the hope of glory is
living inside of you yes or
no you have the Holy Spirit the greatest
overcomer he lives in you
huh do you know that did you believe
that you like like am I like a person
who cannot
see okay and he have weapons around him
but he cannot see the weapons he's
groping looking for help on the outside
that's what the devil want to blindfold
you so you cannot see the reality of
whom you are the reality of whom God is
you cannot see the weapon God gives you
and you begin to use weapon of weakness
fighting in the flesh anytime you insult
somebody or you beat somebody that's
weakness before God satan is happy
that's what he want you to do you fight
somebody you beat somebody and they send
you to prison Satan is
happy but if somebody fight you insult
you you keep quiet in your heart you
recognize the adversary this person is
just being used keep quiet pray for the
person and speak to Satan directly in
the circumstance
i believe when Jesus was going to
Jerusalem to die for all of
us and told his disciples Peter said
"Stop happened to you." Jesus then said
"Get behind me Satan." That's what the
Lord said to him
satan was one manipulating the feelings
of Peter satan was the one creating fear
so Peter acted on his feeling and
emotion in the natural and wanted to
stop Jesus and that's the easiest trap
that Satan will set for us because we we
we're all human beings that have senses
and this is what we find easy to
navigate the world around us but that's
why we have to know who we are
spiritually what did Jesus say get
behind me Satan you think like man not
like God oh my Lord take note of that
we think like humans when I think like
human like man I see the person as my
enemy i think in a natural way i react
in a natural way you touch me like that
you're going to see me you are thinking
talking like man not like God talks not
like Jesus talks and that is where the
trouble is the devil can only tempt you
he cannot force you satan cannot give
you a blow he will use your neighbor to
give you a blow mhm satan cannot beat
the person he will use your hand to slap
the person and leave you with the issue
behind and you take you as responsible
there's one quotable quote prophet
Joshua said "Prisons are overcrowded by
people too weak to resist Satan."
Graveyards are full of people who fail
to resist the devil
can you imagine many people are
regretting today because they have
broken relationship beyond repair
many people have taken actions that
change their destiny and we're all weak
when it comes to the things of the
spirit that is why we need help from the
Holy Spirit so that is why we're talking
today about this battle of the ages
because it's so essential for you and me
to be able to live the life that Jesus
wants us to live because remember whilst
we're on this earth it's the living that
can praise God it's the living that can
have faith over there we meet him as
judge here we have faith in Jesus as our
savior but over there we meet him as as
judge are you ready to meet him so that
is why we're talking about this today
the battle of the ages and how do we
have the strategies and tactics of God
to be able to win this battle and it's
an everyday battle but there is hope yes
God has given us the strategies and the
tactics to be able to conquer this
battle god created you to be a victor
not a
failure god created you to be an
overcomer not a person being defeated
god gave dominion to man when he created
man over all things and Satan deceived
man to fall into sin and loses the
dominion but today we've believed the
lie that we're victims and that someone
else should always solve our problem for
us so please I need your
attention i want to say who you are
let's go back to the foundation you have
to go to the foundation so you can know
whom you are yourself
once you know whom you are you will know
who God is you will know what is your
strength and your weak point you will
know who is your adversary how we
operate in the natural or in the spirit
right now I want to show you one briefly
look at this picture you see on your
screen ruth can you go to 1
Thessalonians
5:23 we want to equip you we want you to
learn God's ways when you learn God's
ways when you discover who you are when
you discover how to handle situation you
will know how to navigate the troubles
of life and you will never fear you will
know how to react how to keep your stand
you will never make a mistake if you
understand this now may the God of peace
himself sanctify you completely and may
your whole spirit soul and body be
preserved blameless at the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ me and God say your
whole being
spirit
soul and
body
spirit soul and body that is
you that is you I'm talking to that is
you watching me do you know that you
have a
spirit do you know that you have a soul
do you know that you have a body
today everybody only know this one i
have a body i'm strong i'm beautiful see
my size that's we do show your muscles
we go to the gym to do muscles to be
strong that's the body that's the
flesh but the Bible says God never focus
on this one god looks at this
one
now God said he has created you with a
spirit with a soul and a body let's talk
about your spirit can we go through to
Zechariah 12:1 i want you to hear and to
believe what God said and to change your
focus this one Zechariah 12 verse
one what does he say
zechariah chapter 12 yes
the burden of the word of the Lord
against Israel thus says the Lord who
stretches out the heavens lays the
foundations of the earth and forms the
spirit of man within him god say he has
formed your spirit within you this is
Ruth she's beautiful but inside of her
inside of her there is a spirit I cannot
see you cannot see and that's where the
real beauty come from that's where the
real status come from there is a spirit
in me there is a spirit in her in you in
every single person who child of
God the real you the real personality
the real person is not this body it's
not my body is the spirit inside of you
god formed the spirit when did God give
you
spirit when let's go to Isaiah chapter
42 from verse
5 isaiah chapter 42 verse 5 write these
scriptures please i'm telling you the
truth if you know this Satan will not
play with you ground like a baby you
have to understand this you have to
identify your source you have to know
whom you are in Christ Jesus if you are
truly child of God born again this will
be your stand mhm thus says God the Lord
who created the heavens and stretched
them out who spread forth the earth and
that which comes from it who gives
breath to the people on it and spirit to
those who walk on it you hear that god
say I created the heaven and earth i
created you and I create a spirit within
you you can't doubt you have a spirit
god's word clearly said "You have a
spirit you have a father in the
natural." Am I right how can God be your
father god can never be your father in
the body here in the natural god can
only be your father here in the spirit
because he's the father of spirits go to
Hebrews 12:9 as Ruth said Hebrews 12:9
let's go there
it is important to understand this is
what the gospel of Jesus is all
about if you are truly born again God is
your father and you have a new
spirit and that's the contact point this
is the source of everything in your
life this body can never be in the
spirit but your spirit can be in the
spirit
this is a part of you that receive
revelation inspiration from God Almighty
from
Jesus hebrew 12
6:9 i think it's verse
9 furthermore we have had human fathers
who corrected us and we paid them
respect shall we not much more readily
be in subjection to the father of spirit
father of spirit and live if God is your
father he's the father of your spirit
that's what Jesus said in John that
which is born of flesh is
flesh that which is born of the spirit
is
spirit do you know you are a spirit
being you have a soul and a body
you have to know
this if you know you have a spirit you
have a soul and you have a body now
that's what God will say clearly how did
God did this let's go to the book of
Psalm 139 verse 13
psalm
139 verse
13
listen to David a man after God's own
heart who understood this you can never
be in the spirit if you don't understand
this
for you formed my inward parts yes you
covered me in my mother's womb i praise
you for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made marvelous are your works and that
my soul knows very well my soul knows
very well you see you covered me say it
again verse 13
for you formed my inward parts you
formed my inward part now let me explain
what is inward part this one this part
is inward invisible nobody can see your
soul on your spirit this is your body
this part we can see but David say you
formed my inward part these are the
inward part the spirit on the soul
and God give you a body you formed my
inward
part and what did he say after you
covered me in my mother's womb now you
cover you with
flesh god form your spirit and your soul
inward part and cover you with flesh
when the baby is in the mother's room
the heart starts to beat and the body
starts to develop but the soul and the
spirit no scan can see it the scan can
just see the heart the head will come
the eyes will come the hands will come
the body will come and grow as we
monitor P but none of us has seen the
soul and the spirit of this girl pearl
always liked hiding from the scan that's
the inward part your mom and your dad
when they track the pregnancy they can
tell you how the fetus the baby's
growing but nobody can see the spirit
and the soul in the body nobody only God
but David said "You form my inward part
and you cover me with the body in my
mother's womb." That's why we have to
ask ourselves do we truly believe the
word of God because just because we have
no emotional reaction or physical
reaction to it does it mean it doesn't
exist the question now thank you what is
the purpose every part of this has a
function what is the purpose of your
spirit what is the function of your soul
what is the function of your body that
is the question
why God give you a spirit that's the
question why God give you a soul that's
the question why God give you a body
think about
it god never does things by mistake
everything has a
purpose why God gave you a
spirit what is the purpose of your
spirit your spirit is the only part of
you that is meant to relate with God in
spirit and in truth
this is the part of you that hears from
God from the Holy Spirit
this is the part of you that speak in
tongues receive revelation from God
dreams and vision it is your
spirit it is your spirit that hears the
inner voice of the Holy Spirit deep
here that's the only part of you that
have consciousness of the things of the
spirit
god said when he created us he gave us a
new spirit am I right go to Ezekiel
chapter 36 verse
26 ezekiel
36
26 oh my God we need to understand
this ezekiel 36
and I will give you a new heart and put
a new spirit within you i will take the
heart of stone out of your flesh and
give you a heart of flesh i will put my
spirit within you and cause you to walk
in my statutes and you will keep my
judgments and do them this verse is the
foundation of everything you can
understand in Christ if you don't
understand this verse if you don't
understand his meaning you will never
know what it takes to be born again
god said I will give you a new what a
new heart what is a new heart you're not
talking about the heart of
flesh now let me take you one by one god
will give you a new spirit when you are
born again the new heart mean a new
conscience it's not this heart that beat
the flesh god will give you a new spirit
and a new conscience that new spirit is
at point of salvation is made to the
image of God perfect
you begin to hear from God you begin to
listen from God in the spirit not in the
flesh that's what God said
now what is the soul the soul is you i'm
talking to you i'm the one speaking you
see me somebody's talking inside this
body that's my identity my inner man i
am the one when you say "Don't talk to
me." That me is your soul talking don't
look at me it's your soul talking i want
to do this that is your soul talking
that is your will that is you your
consciousness of whom you are your
decision your will i want to do this i
want to do that is a soul that's the
sage that's your will and your mind is
here that is your
soul now this body why God give you a
body what is the big question now we use
our body to fight to box people
we use our mouth to fight back to insult
to talk to threaten to eat to move
that's the biggest mistake we make when
we think it's just about the body oh my
god now if God focuses on this one and
you you look at this one we make a big
mistake
somebody can be tall like Goliath in the
body and weak as zero before God
somebody can be beautiful and handsome
like and ugly before God because there's
demon in the heart here
m or we allow oursel to be controlled by
satanic devices and how does satanic
devices control us through our emotions
through our senses we we can say we
believe in Jesus but we can actually be
controlled by satanic devices controlled
by fear controlled by worry controlled
by anger controlled by jealousy envy all
these things can control us because we
open the door to them because we're not
putting on the armor of God and we don't
know that the battle we face is actually
a spiritual one now I will explain
something these three part they don't
work independently they are
interdependent that's the
problem they can't be interdependent as
long as you live they're
interdependent they depend to each other
now David say your verse say you cover
me my verse say you knit me in my mother
yeah I like that translation and that's
the real that's why I like the kingdom
you knit me this three part God joined
them together in the womb of your mom
let me show you here in your mother's
womb god needs you can see there's a
connection between the spirit and the
soul they can never be separated how
what is the connection conscience this
is conscience h can you see that life in
every sense begins at conception so the
connection between your spirit and your
soul is a
conscience what is conscience
can you see sorry this how God created
you in your mother's womb he connect
your spirit and your soul these two part
can never be
disconnected never they are sealed
forever these two they are invisible
part of
you at death this body will go but the
spirit and the soul go back to God this
is your invisible part this is your
visible part the body now God connect
the soul to the body you see Because see
the soul and the body are
connected you can see here
and the part of the connection is the
mind let me explain something quickly
god give you a conscience called heart
very often the Bible say heart my heart
contact me my heart said this is a
matter of translation but in many cases
that heart means conscience
this conscience is part of your spirit
and your soul that that help you to
descend the voice of God
this is the part that have visions and
revelation from God if you are spiritual
you listen to your heart listen to your
conscience this is the meaning of
this when they say there's fire in the
house here there's trouble here this is
the world the body is shaking don't
listen to the body listen to this one in
the quietness of your
heart this is what God say this is it
this is your soul your you your old
thinking you have your own mind i want
to do this this the mind your own mind
this is my mind i want to do this nobody
can force me you exercise your will you
through your own mind this mind is a
connection between your soul and your
body that's the mind that controls your
body someone's asking what happens to
that spirit when you're not born again
i'm not I'm coming to you after for the
moment i'm not talking about I'm talking
about when God is creating you in your
mother's womb at this point I'm not
talking about salvation i'm talking
about how God formed you so we can
really know who we are that's why we're
doing this no one is born
righteous eh this person I'm talking
about God by you in your mother's womb
god is forming you you okay so now let
me come back the
spirit control the soul through the
conscience that's what God
want this soul the mind control the
activity of the body that's why if
somebody behaved foolishly this guy's
out of his mind when one day David was
David run to save his life he went to
the king of the Philistine to hide the
man said "Ah are you not the one that
killed Goliath they're looking for you
everywhere." David pretend to be to be
mad saliva and he behaved foolishly they
say "Why you bring a mad man to me he's
out of his mind please send him out
away." And that's how he saved his life
this mind control the activity of this
body you can see the spirit is important
is for God the soul is you your will
this is your body what's the purpose of
this body that's the question I'm going
to ask you what's the purpose of this
body we so much take care
of i'm sorry we too make
FCH we we we
we make but we have to take care of the
body as well because please this is the
instrument that God's using we take care
of before I come here she screamed me
with seriously you can see me huh she
say dress up like this okay okay no
appearance sells appearance discourages
okay so we take care of this body so we
go to food how many we eat good food in
the morning breakfast we eat lunch you
go to restaurant nice perfume wonderful
clothes everything for this body this
body is a queen like a small god we take
care of it so much so much because you
think our life is only this body
my God and this body we so much is
important of course please understand me
but that's not the focus of God this
body will never go to heaven
when salvation come it's not his body is
saved God will give you a new spirit a
new heart this is new conscience this is
what God give you when you are born
again but this soul and this body are
the same old man we have
for and that's where the trouble
is the purpose of this body what is it
for let me scroll down and show
you
now my god let me come down here no i
want this one no no no no no no i want
this one this one I want let me make it
bigger wow
the day you are born from your mom from
mother's womb h from your mother's womb
God has formed the spirit inside the
mother womb he has formed the soul
inside the you have a conscious you have
a mind and you have a body that's the
baby now when the baby is born into the
world he's the body is connected to the
world through this body and your
senses you can see that's the body when
you are born into the
world this part of me is in the world
but my spirit is not of this world is
from God i am in the world in physical
body but in spirit in faith I'm not part
of this world i don't follow the pattern
but the pattern of
Christ now this body is normal with this
body you go to school you go to work you
speak to people you relate with people
in the world it is
important now the part of your the part
of this makeup God give you that is
exposed to the world is the body through
the senses this is the part of us that
face trouble this is the body that have
sickness injury you don't have money you
feel hunger this is the body all of all
cause of our trouble and suffering are
this
body sickness pain this body hunger is
body if you have wealth if you have
money you put this body in a beautiful
house you carry in a beautiful car
beautiful clothes beautiful everything
everything for this
body everything is for this body but it
is important now when we are born like
this every person who is born of a man
and a woman is born like this but you
have a spirit the soul and the body now
the question I was asking
you why are we not conscious that we
have a spirit and a soul simply because
we have been separated from God here
no one is born righteous no one is born
saved we be oh my God we become natural
first
and then Jesus say we need to be born
again every person who is born of a
woman and a man we are both sinful
nature as David say in the book of Psalm
51 we are all sinners no one is born
righteous not even one so when you are
born natural there's a wall of
separation between God and man since
Adam died he's a cause of it since he
died there's a wall of separation we all
born natural the natural come first
before the spiritual right 1 Corinthians
chapter 15 verse 46 to
47 now when from your mother's womb this
is when the human society recognize your
date of birth you begin to communicate
and you have these
senses the eyes are open the first time
the baby left from the womb it begin to
breathe
in our mother's womb we are like fish am
I right yes we never talk we never
breathe we were living inside the heart
was beating we're living like a fish god
is great if you look at the life of a
fetus you learn a lot from
God now immediately the baby comes out
the umbilical cord is broken he begin to
relate with the world the baby begin to
see begin to hear sounds he begin to see
the things on the outside sound on the
outside have feelings and begin to cry
and we begin to feed him here in a
natural
way oh my god this is everybody when you
born from our mother's womb till the day
we encounter Jesus somebody who never
knew Jesus will not save will live like
this all his life he doesn't have any
consciousness of the spirit he's
separated from God his soul is depending
only on this body the world is
controlled the senses the body is
controlled by what you see and the soul
is controlled by the situation of life
depression trouble is living in the
fleshly
tendencies paul call it a carnally
minded person and sadly so many people
that even profess Jesus with their lips
are still ru ruled by the senses and
carnally minded now and that's why we
need to have
wisdom when you meet somebody who
doesn't know Jesus who doesn't know God
he may not accept your faith he may
behave differently but that person is
ignorant of the spiritual reality but
Jesus say love that person
pray for that person for him to discover
what you discover to know what you know
pray for that person for him one day his
eyes to be open and he accept Jesus and
begin to be born again here that's the
purpose of the
church so and all of us we are born like
this remember one day Jesus said in
Matthew chapter 11 concerning John the
Baptist he said of all men born of woman
no one is greater than John the Baptist
but he who is least in the kingdom of
God is greater than him what can you say
about
that of all man born of man and woman
everybody has a father and a mother in
the
natural Jesus say nobody is greater than
John the Baptist but he who is born
again is greater than all because God
become your father
that's why the purpose of the gospel is
to be born again
salvation restore the relationship
between God and man that's why Jesus
came that's why the greatest need you
have is not money is not food is the
kingdom of god
seek first the kingdom of God and his
righteousness it's true because you were
asking the other day what's the greatest
need that we have thank you that's the
next message we're going to share the
greatest need is this one salvation
that's why no matter how many physical
material things we possess it can never
really satisfy us because that's not our
greatest need because we are spiritual
people we're spiritual creatures and
there's something inside each of us that
desperately longs to have that
relationship with our creator i don't
want to give you much i want to we come
down we continue next week but what we
want to say to you you need to discover
yourself
you can see Christianity is not just a
religion of men of rituals it's a
spiritual relationship with God that's
why Jesus say you need to be born again
christianity is to have rel relationship
with God in spirit and in
truth so now what happened when we are
born
again this is born of woman and born of
Christ is born again when you are born
again God said we read it Ezekiel
chapter 36 verse 26 27 i will put my
spirit in you first I will give you a
new spirit that's this blue you see
there this the new spirit the only part
of you that is new at salvation is your
spirit that means the body is the same
the body is the same the soul is the
same the soul is the same the spirit is
different
you have a new spirit and you have a new
conscience a new heart that's what God
say so that's the new heart that Ezekiel
is talking about a heart in your spirit
you have a new sensitivity the
conscience that were dead begin to
receive thoughts of God dream and vision
will come because you have a new spirit
a new heart this is whom the son of God
sets free is free indeed that's the
liberation of your spirit yeah that
that's important make sure you write
that down when it says in John
8:36 you know who are when the son of
God sets you free you're free indeed
that freedom that liberty that
liberation is for your spirit not your
body and that's the true freedom that's
the true liberation when Jesus say if
the son of God set you free your free is
when you are born again I'm telling you
the truth you have a new spirit perfect
in God a new conscience perfect in God
you are saved you can never lose it holy
spirit come now now you can understand
what's the purpose of your spirit your
spirit is connected to God by the holy
spirit
here the link between your spirit and
god is the indwelling presence of the
holy spirit you can see here when the
holy ghost dwells in You you are
connected to God through the person of
the Holy Spirit inside of
you when the Holy Ghost dwells in you
mean Jesus dwells in you the overcomer
dwells in you
here is the dwelling place of Holy
Spirit dwelling place of Jesus ephesians
3:19 14:19 the Holy Ghost dwells in you
ephesians 1:13 the father dwells in you
god dwells in you holy Spirit dwells in
you now when Holy Ghost dwells in you
what does he do he will give you
revelation to your conscience
he will open the eyes that will give you
understanding he will give you
conviction he will lead you by
revelation here and that's where we can
fight and conquer this battle thank you
now when trouble come here to attack
your body and to attack your soul that's
what the enemy does on the outside what
you do go inside here listen to this one
you pray here you cry here till the Holy
Ghost come and give you revelation here
understanding here and when you obey it
when you understand what God say this
mind is not controlled by the body it is
renewed by revelation received from here
please this one we're going to come back
later i don't want you to give much but
I want to say the battle you are facing
today is not here this is the flesh but
the real battle is in the spirit m
when somebody attack you in the outside
run to the spirit to your father in
heaven matthew chapter 6 Jesus said go
to the secret place and lock the door of
this world and pray in the spirit here
to your father and God will answer your
hair this is where the weapon comes this
is where victory comes this is where
righteousness come everything come from
here
are we living here or are we living here
in my
heart in my heart

Jesus in my heart i want to be like
Jesus in my spirit in spirit we are made
to be like Jesus in spirit in the
likeness of Christ ephesians chapter
15:48 says "We will bore the image of
the new man lifegiving spirit." I used
to ask myself why prophet TB Joshua
loved that song so much and I realized
that it's the greatest battle of all
time to submit oursel in our spirit to
be like Jesus do we want to be like
Jesus in our heart because we're not
like Jesus on the outside we're like
Jesus within us thank you and it's not a
one day decision it's an every moment
decision please get ready next week
we'll come back to this and explain more
how we can renew our mind how we can
react to situation how we can answer and
overcome situation practically but this
is the foundation of your life
you have a spirit whether you like it or
not god give it to you but your spirit
can only be awakened in the light of
God's word by the power of the Holy
Spirit you have a soul that's the part
of you after death it will go before God
when death comes this body will go to
the ground but the spirit and the soul
will go to God thank you so please the
battle we face today is with our senses
but the scripture says whoever is born
of God overcomes the world first John
5:4 how do we overcome he who believes
that Jesus Christ is the son of God what
happen when you believe you are born
again and you have the Holy Spirit in
you the overcomer lives in you god is in
you if God is with you who can be
against
you thank you amen be blessed and get
your heart ready god never neglect our
need we're going to pray for you after
and by the grace of God Jesus will touch
us your life if you believe amen we
really want to thank you for sharing
this class with us today we call it a
class a divine lecture of the Holy
Spirit all about the battle of the ages
and that's why take your time to watch
it again this is we're going to go deep
into it next week but definitely we want
you to know who you are because if you
don't know who you are in Christ Jesus
that means you don't know where your
source comes from you don't know where
the victory comes from you don't know
where your strength comes from and that
means you don't know the strategies and
tactics that God has already given you
to succeed mhm so that is why we wanted
to start off for you to understand who
you are as a believer in Christ Jesus
yes and we talk about the righteousness
of God in Christ Jesus you know how to
overcome the battle of the thought how
to walk with the spirit and live in the
spirit in Jesus name thank you father we
thank you Lord Jesus we thank you we
pray for every single person lord give
them the grace to receive this word in
the midst of their heart amen holy
Spirit help them to understand spiritual
realities open their heart to spiritual
understanding give them the conviction
and draw them closer to you in spirit
and in truth in Jesus name amen amen
amen get ready for prayer give us the
grace to be more like you Jesus in our
heart we want you to be strong
jesus want us to be mature god's word
can never fail and never lie it's
reality but for those who recognize it
that victory is there for those who
recognize it and it's a past tense
victory i'm telling you don't allow
Satan to blindfold you anymore discover
who you are in the spirit in Christ
Jesus discover the Bible says about
righteousness discover who Jesus is whom
the Holy Ghost is whom you are and then
you will know how to handle life in
Jesus name
