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

Spirit people have trouble people have

issues and they want to come to the

God is to make you one with a difference

god is not far from you he's not far

from me in this journey we have

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

believe yes you have a belief in your

heart yes God is good god is good god is

good but how will you know God is good

when you meet you at the point of real

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

breakthrough is faith so thank you for

being with us today then any moment from

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

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
