Manifesting Spiritual Reality by Apostle Joshua Selman: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Gratitude and the Faithfulness of God

The bible says, "They go from strength to strength to as many that appear before the Lord in Zion." Psalm 84:7

1 Corinthians 14:40

For as long as our christian experience ends in just praying in tongues and shouting, as spiritual as that is we will only remain a nuisance to our world and to society, we must translate spiritual to a context that affects territory, first spiritually, then help their philosophy and understanding. Then economically, we have heavenly resources we also have economic resources and so from that which God is given, we must do well to support what the government and well meaning citizens are doing.

The church does not stop at a charity organisation, we are primarily a spiritual platform that communicates truth that is based on scripture, that is intended to connect people to Jesus, then connect people to the principle of the kingdom and release grace from that understanding that empowers them to live meaningful lives of dominion and dignity.

Reflect on the things that the Lord has done, in, through and around you and say thank you

Do you know why many people do not experience the hand of God consistently? Among the many reasons, is that many believers take the faithfulness of God for granted.

In gratitude is a great doorway - it brings back your negative past to become your present.

Never get to a point where you say, "with or without God I can still make it."

What you have (anointing, money, influence) can deceive. You must always remind yourself like the apostle, "I am why I am by the grace of God." First Corinthians 15:10

You must know that outside of God's mercy great people can be reduced to ashes. It is only by the mercy of God that the weak become strong. It is only by his mercy that the poor become wealthy.

Purpose of Spiritual Alignment

Points help us remember why you are in Koinonia?

1. To encounter God
2. To access spiritual intelligence

   • To understand the principles of the kingdom

3. To build your faith Jude 1:20

   • The kind and quality of faith you have determined your outcome

4. To receive help, mercy and strength Psalm 20:1-2, Psalm 84:7
5. You are here as part of your commitment towards the kingdom advance

   • Your worship, prayer, giving, attention

6. To fellowship with the saints
7. Empowerment, and that in ever increasing measures

It is pride as a student to arbitrarily edit the things that you're being taught especially when the people communicating it have proofs in that area. Men of God are not God, we make mistakes, we are all growing, but with respect to the areas where there are results, it is foolish for people who do not have redult begin to edit when they have not produced results.

Father speak to me, my heart is open to hear you, my destiny is open to rise, clarity of understanding.

Manifesting Spiritual Reality

The bible is very clear that there is a spirit realm and there is a physical realm. Man has the advantage of interacting with these realms.

Romans 1:20

Everything physical is a testament that there's another kind of material beyond the natural realm

Colossians 1:16

Everything in the physical has it's parallel in the realm of the spirit

Matthew 3:16-17

The consciousness that there is a dimension outside this realm, puts you at an advantage position. And the superiority of the realm of the spirit which can superimpose this realm.

Realities are only made manifest when we learn how to transport those realities from the realm of the spirit to the physical.

John 1:14

Everything God has placed in the realm of the spirit that is needed for your destiny actualisation but through ignorance it's been waiting there for years, may sustain the intelligence to make it manifest.

Hebrews 11:3

The things which appear are only a manifestation of realities available(in the realm of the spirit) and if you know how to transport those realities you'll live an invincible life of dominion even in your world today.

Everything that ever manifests is because it finds its parallel in the spirit include trouble.

Challenges in Manifesting Spiritual Realities

1. Ignorance of the provisions and resources available to the believer in Christ Second Peter 1:3, Ephesians 1:3
2. Ignorance on how to convert the spiritual resources available in Christ to their material expressions for the profiting of the believer Matthew 6:10

The ability to interact with that realm with such mastery that you can convert and bring to your domain all that are needed for your profiting.

The Keys to Transport Spiritual Realities

The keys to transport spiritual realities of any kind and any sort according to the will of God and to give it material expressions

This is how great destinies have been built. All Kingdom resources are first spiritual.

1. Contend for light

   Light here means knowledge. Psalm 82:5, Psalm 119:130

2. Press into the realm of consciousness and conviction

   Psalm 36:9The bible is saying 2 things here: Number one, you need his light, but when his light arrives, there's a kind of light you must see through his light. It says in your light shall we see light.

   The word conscious means to be aware of, and to have the ability to respond to. It means to be awake unto or to be awake towards.

   Until you rise to a realm beyond just light, the realm of concern and conviction, you will never have those realities manifest

   This is the assignment of a mystery in the spirit called meditation.

   The assignment of meditation is to transfer spiritual realities beyond the book, beyond the message into your spirit, into your consciousness.

   You are conscious of a thing when it dominates your thoughts.

   Those who build anything great are not just those who have wishful thinking, they have become immersed in the thing that drives them. The bible calls it the zeal of the Lord.

   The reason why many people cannot become and cannot manifest realities, is because they've not taken the truth of scripture and meditated upon it until it moves past the realm of just information and suck into your spirit.

   Something happens to a man when the word of God becomes spirit and life, you cannot be separated from that truth again, you have so believed it that you have become one with that belief.

   Psalm 1:3

   Ezekiel 2:2

   Genesis 12:3

   Galatians 3:29

   Psalm 23:1

   Second Corinthians 9:8

   God show me the secret to the anointing Psalm 89:20

   Reason of sounds Second Kings 3:15

   The key to rest, the presence of God Exodus 33:15

   Lay your hand on your head and meditate on one scriptures(for some thou annoited my head with oil.)

   Revelation 5:9

   Isaiah 54:17

   Psalm 119:97-99

   One of the ways you meditate is to repeat thought again and again and again.

   Mockers are a natural pathway to greatness.

   Second Corinthians 4:18

   Philippians 4:8

3. Mix the truth you found with faith

   Hebrews 4:2What is faith? Your actions of obedience to the condition that connects to the faith.

   Every speaking of God has conditions connected to it, the profit point of your Christian adventure, is when you find the truth, meditate to create conviction and then you engage, you mix with obedience, faith.

   To obey means you have to embrace the spirit of wisdom. What does the bible say you should do that connects to the promise you are looking for.

   For example:

   • The bible talks about laziness and begging. How both of them are related. So when you meditate on the fact the bible says, "a diligent hand shall be made fat." What is your point of obedience now? Whatsoever your hand findeth to do that is in righteousness, you do as unto God.
   • Another is giving Proverbs 11:24

   There are many many people who are found wanting in the place of obedience.

   There people who will always be poor no matter what. Laziness, or channelling their energy without wisdom. Matthew 26:11

   The miracle happens at the point of obedience. Genesis 26:12

   Provided you camp around disobedience I guarantee you understand God their certain manifestation you will not see under God.

   Complaining does not increase, it only brings people down.

4. Engage in spiritual warfare

   You will never manifest anything from the spirit without engaging in spiritual warfare.

   What is spiritual warfare? Establishing victory over spirits and over condition that fights the manifestation of the word in your life(ministry, home, business, sphere of influence)

   First Corinthians 16:9, First Thessalonians 2:18

   All unclean spirits are stubborn spirits.

   When God says, "you are a blessing." Satan says, "we will fight it!"

   They first come to find out whether you are aware and you believe. Then they find out whether it has become a reality in your consciousness. Then they find out whether you have obtained the grace to obey.

   If there is no point, then they attack you directly for no reason.

   The reason why satan attacks primarily is because he is the antichrist and he has come to steal, kill and destroy John 10:10

   That means there must be something to kill, something to steal and something to destroy.

   The truth is the kind of warfare you will have to fight to birth prophecy in your life, it will need stamina in spirit.

   Psalm 91:5

   Second Thessalonians 3:16

   How do you know that you're under attack? When the occurrences in your life do not match up with the commitment of value and obedience you're bringing.

   Numbers 23:23

   James 1:17

   Psalm 74:20

   Isaiah 54:17

5. Expect and prepare to receive the ministry of men

   The final arrival or manifestation of spiritual reality happens through the ministry of men.

   John 5:7

   First Samuel 10:3-4

   How do you receive what God gives you? From the hands of men.

   Every man's destiny is as stunted and delayed as the arrival of the men sent from God to you.

   When God wants to help you, he accelerates the arrival of the men who have a role to play in your life.

   John 6:5-12

   There are many dimensions of results and promises we seek: Growth, financial increase, direction, healings, deliverance, job, promotions, marital settlement, fruitfulness of all sorts, receiving the anointing, expansion in business, intellectual growth. All of these resources are men dependent. They are realities that are finished in the realm of the spirit, but they all depend on the ministry of men.

   Manifestation of the supernatural that depended on men:

   • The multiplication across the earth through Adam and Eve Genesis 3:20
   • The preservation of the earth through the ark through the man Noah
   • Bringing deliverance to Israel from Egypt through the man Joseph
   • Bringing manna from heaven through the man Moses
   • The axe head floating through the man Elijah Second Kings 6:6
   • Samaria’s deliverance through Elisha
   • Deliverance of Nineveh through Jonah
   • The birthing of Jesus through Mary
   • Turning water to wine through Jesus
   • Triumphant entry through men Luke 19:30-35
   • The burial of Jesus through Joseph Luke 23:50
   • The announcement of resurrection through Mary Magdalene John 20:16-17

   Receiving from men demands the following:

   1. Know the value and role of men in manifesting spiritual realities in your life
   2. Look beyond their frailties and limitations Second Corinthians 4:7
   3. Humility and adaptation

      "Adaptation is proof of honour"

   4. Gratitude and honour — learn to say thank you

Prayer

• Father, everything that you have declared in scriptures, this is the year I want to see it manifest in my life. Obtain grace to contend for light Psalm 68:11
• Lord, the men sent by God to make prophecy finally manifest, bring them by your mercy

Salvation

No Jesus, no life.

Lord Jesus, I have heard your word, I love you with all my heart, I believe that you rose again for my justification. Right now, I receive you into my heart as my saviour, my Lord and my king. I declare that the power of sin, satan, hell and the grave is broken over my life. From today and forever, I am a child of God washed by the blood of the lamb. I go forward ever and backward never. Amen.

Father thank you for the gift of these precious ones who have come to the cross, I pray by the power of the holy spirit based on the authority of scripture that your sins are forgiven and in the name of Jesus, this moment, you are a bonafide recipient of the life of God. You are the righteousness of God in Christ, recipient of his life. The grace to live the victorious Christian life is released upon you. You go forward ever and backward never in Jesus mighty name.
