The Doctrine Of Divine Communication by Apostle Michael Orokpo: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

Receiving from God

One of the things we must understand and master is the act of receiving from God

You are a finite entity dealing with an infinite entity. You are a terrestrial entity depending on a celestial entity for the outcomes of your life. There are protocols that govern the transmission of reality

With a fellow man it is easier to receive because you are in the same dimension and of the same essence. With God the magnitude of His being has no basis of comparison with you

Even giving to you is governed by very rigid protocols

An elephant trying to help an ant. No matter how generous the elephant is, without careful protocol it might kill the ant in the process of helping

Now you are dealing with a God who is bigger than you and in a dimension different from yours

Your existence and the quality of your existence depend on your relationship with Him and your receipt of what He offers. Every believer must gain mastery in his interaction with God

The believer's problem is not lack

The problem of the believer is not lack. We have too much bounty available. Our challenge is understanding. What we need is available in unquantifiable proportion

Abundance is God's expectation of us. He does not expect anyone to lack. He expects that we will have too much, with no room to contain it

The earth that sustains over 8 billion people was prepared and handed over to one man. All the oxygen, the waters, the gold, the diamonds, the animals, God prepared and handed to Adam

No matter the number of men that come out of you, you will never know lack

The day understanding is born, that day triumphant existence becomes your reality

How God manifests

First understand how God manifests. When you know how He manifests, you study the dimensions in which resources are communicated. Then you can position yourself to receive

There are two major ways God manifests so that finite beings can interact with infinite realities. As the Word and by His Spirit. Each has many modes

If you don't know how to engage His Spirit, it will be impossible to interact with Him. Many are stranded because they try to access God through modalities not captured in His eternal counsel

He is the one who determines how you will meet Him

Illustration: strangers and family

Even we who are men determine how you will meet us. A stranger cannot call me 20 times and take offence that I didn't pick. Trust has to be earned. Attention is expensive. Life is short

A stranger goes through the platforms we have created. An official number gives an appointment

Someone else meets you first to ascertain that it is safe for me to meet you. Do you think I will show up carelessly and you remove a gun and shoot me?

There is a place for faith and a place for wisdom

Then a time my schedule permits, then a location. Strangers don't wake up and meet me on their own terms

A member of this church can see me after every service. I sit for two or three hours attending to everyone, because it is my obligation as a priest over you and I'm your father

You bring nothing. It is free

Now you think you can access God just like that? There are protocols

Meeting God as the Word

1 Timothy 3:16, John 1:1

Each mode of the Word and each mode of the Spirit guarantees different realities

If you will interact with God, you will interact with Him as the Word. Anybody who doesn't know the Word can never meet God. Carry your Bible and look for Him there

If you don't touch the Word you can't touch God

1. Graphe: what is written

   2 Timothy 3:15 to 2 Timothy 3:17

   Sitting with scriptures makes profit. It is not a religious thing to dwell on the Word

   You will be perfected unto good works. So anything I put my hands in I must prosper

2. Rhema: what God speaks or quickens in your heart

   Matthew 4:4

   Sometimes we spend time in prayer because we want to meet the Word. It can come when we study and meditate, or when we pray

3. The living Word

   As you press, you can meet the living Word Himself. Jesus can decide to reveal Himself bodily to you. Jesus is still appearing to people. This is where an apostolic calling begins

   Whether you encounter Him by the written Word, the rhema or the living Word, you have to meet Him. This is how God is compressed into time

Study, reading, meditation, prayer, worship are all channels. My goal is to meet God. In praying I will not be carried away. I have an objective

Many pray and sweat and act drama and they have not met God. They become prayer warriors but issues of life still overwhelm them. You can't meet God and be a victim

Meeting God by His Spirit

2 Corinthians 13:14

The communion, the oneness of the Spirit. If you want to meet God, you meet Him by the Spirit

There is too much available for you. But have you met the carrier of these realities? This is where your problem is

There is no problem you have that is a problem. Every problem is an alarm of an area where you lack understanding. The moment you apprehend, the problem disappears

Every answer to human crisis is in the gospel

His presence

The Hebrew word is panim. Moses said that if God's presence did not go with them they would not move Exodus 33:15

An angel is powerful but I'm interested in You. This is not about resources or arriving at the promised land. It is also about relationship. I want to know you

My communion with you is what beats every other thing

When the Spirit encounters you by His presence, it may not be visible but the tangibility cannot be denied. We don't necessarily feel the presence. We know the presence Luke 5:17

God became tangible

The anointing

The ability of God put on display. When you see diverse expressions of His power, know that God is not far John 14:10, Acts 10:38

Love

1 John 4:8

When you can give yourself for somebody you don't know for no justifiable reason, know that beyond you God is flowing out. The Spirit manifests when love manifests John 14:23

Goodness

When you see good void of evil at work, God is there

The young ruler called Jesus good Mark 10:18

Only God is good. Goodness is a revelation of God. Jesus would not be addressed as good and not as God. If He is God, He is naturally good

Glory

The presence speaks of tangibility. The glory speaks of visibility. His excellency is modeled in a way you can touch Him and see His reality Exodus 13:21

Many believers can't recognize God when He is on display. They are looking for the cloud to descend because they read the story of Mount Sinai. That's not the only way God shows up

As the Word, all the modes can be gateways. As the Spirit, all the modes can be gateways. By all means you must encounter one of these realities

Prayer is good but a means to an end. Reading is a means to an end. Fasting is a means to an end. Worship is a means to an end

If you don't attain that end you have made a religion out of what you are doing

Some are discovering now that you have encountered God. You were reading the Word and one verse stood up and hit you like an arrow. You didn't know the Word had manifested itself to you

It became a story. You didn't know you broke into God's realm

To receive from God, He needs to move from the infinite to the finite, from the invisible to the visible, from the celestial to the terrestrial. The modes are the Word and the Spirit

If you undermine these two you have lost God forever

Christianity is not another religion where we heap rules and regulations and do rituals. There is religion in Christianity but beyond religion it is a relationship. Divinity manifested in humanity

If you don't have a tangible interaction with God you may never receive from God

What flows from an encounter

An encounter is not barren. It is designed to produce something. A miracle service is a platform where we provoke encounters so that things can flow

If you don't know that things flow, you may encounter Him and be lost in the experience. There is vision fixation, where somebody is caught up in a vision and gains nothing

Illustration: the vision at seven

At the age of seven I was worshipping with my mother in the evening. The cloud shifted and I saw Someone seated on a golden throne with a golden crown, emitting light

A woman knelt, presenting a child

Instead of waiting to be given understanding, I tapped my mother. As she turned, it was covered

It took me more than 20 years to understand that vision, but it would have been given to me that moment

When the realm opens, realities are about to be trafficked. They are for your transformation and your empowerment

Some come out of an encounter as custodians of mysteries. They talk what they have not read

Some come out as stewards of ordinances, seasons and dimensions. A man talks to you and a season of blessing opens. The next three months are one promotion after another, one open door after another

That's not a man. That is a portal. A steward of divine seasons. He compressed your season and reallocated resources scattered across chronological timing into kairos moments. Three months become equivalent to 10 years

Samuel was a little boy. When he encountered God he rose in stature. From Dan to Beersheba all Israel knew Samuel was a prophet 1 Samuel 3:20

None of his words fell to the ground 1 Samuel 3:19. If Samuel sees you and cracks a joke, you become a billionaire

One way or the other you will encounter the Elohim, the One who sits in the midst of the coals of fire. I prophesy over you. Your life is changing now.

3 proofs that you have met God

1. Transformation

   2 Corinthians 3:18

   You can't see Him and be the same. Your essence, way of life and priorities will all be altered

   A criminal meets God and suddenly loses appetite for stealing. A vagabond meets God and encounters purpose. The guy who wasted his life becomes disciplined and curated about the direction he must go

   Essence has been re-engineered

2. Empowerment

   Exodus 3:1 to Exodus 3:10

   Moses was a coward, a runaway soldier. After the burning bush he returned to the same Pharaoh he ran from

   The rod of Moses became the rod of God. The rod that supported his weight became a system of power. Pharaoh's wise men dropped their rods and they became serpents. His rod swallowed theirs

   They said this is the finger of God Exodus 8:19

   There was no technology for crossing the Red Sea but he carried a rod. God said don't cry to me, stretch forth your rod, go forward Exodus 14:15 to Exodus 14:16

   A stick orchestrated a tornado. The water divided and 3 million men walked through

   He is too big for your encounter with Him to leave you normal

   The word is coming to you. Your life is about to change.

   Every facet of your existence gains ability. Your body gains health and vitality. Your mind is elevated to wisdom. Your mouth is given utterance. Your hands are anointed for productivity Psalm 1:3

   You who walked in lack are not begging, but things begin to come out of you that can impact humanity

3. Purpose and ordination

   The reason you came into time, you will know it. Jeremiah 1:5

   John knew he was the voice crying in the wilderness John 1:23. That was a 700 to 800 year old prophecy. Only encounter brings that level of precision and accuracy

   A woman who didn't know a man rose to claim a prophecy that was aeons before she was born. When she went to Elizabeth she went with a different designation

   When Mary met Elizabeth, Elizabeth began to prophesy. The baby in her womb was activated Luke 1:43 to Luke 1:44. What level of power is that? People around you will know that things have changed

   No one who encountered God ended a vagabond. Moses was a runaway soldier who became a deliverer over a nation

   Samuel was a toddler sleeping on the altar who became a prophet who sustained a generation. David was a boy forgotten in the wilderness who became king 1 Chronicles 12:22

We don't judge people by status or possession. What gives status is in the world. A vagabond can become a veteran. A confused person can become a man of wisdom

• Some of you are changing. You are being reconfigured. I prophesy over you by the Spirit of the living God.
• Arise to a height of wisdom. Arise to a height of power.
• May your designation in the spirit be altered. Men knew you as confused and vulnerable. From today you become a custodian and a ranking entity in the spirit.
• By the wisdom of God, begin to steward systems, control mysteries, regulate times and seasons. I bring you into the realm of executioners in the spirit.
• By your words possibilities will be born. By your word secrets will be opened. I bring you into the realm of architects in the spirit.
• Begin to model dimensions that eyes have not seen 1 Corinthians 2:9. May your horn be exalted. May the Lord give you wings to fly.
• Every empowerment in you, I speak over it by the Spirit. I decree by the priesthood of the endless life, let those dimensions be born.
• Whoever told you that you are a failure should not have allowed you into this service. You will rise to a height nobody around you has reason to expect.
• Whoever told you that you are dying made a mistake. In old age you will sit as a priest and define the legacies of many generations.
• Arise, shine Isaiah 60:1. I command dry bones rise again in the name of Jesus Christ.

• I'm speaking to people who will rise to become veterans, spectacles over generations by reason of the impact they will occasion.
• I don't care where you come from. I don't care who is in your village. I don't care what altars are fighting you.
• I come by a superior priesthood. I come by the voice and the oracle of Him that dwells in light.
• I decree over you: this is your time of emancipation.

Understand what empowerment means. Nothing you lay your hands on fails. Your hands are anointed for productivity

A miracle service is not a healing service. It is beyond. Anything is possible in a miracle service

Fear not. Let not your heart fail you. Your destiny must count

What empowers men to make a difference is not with men. It is with God. It doesn't matter who wrote you off. If you will encounter Him, things will change in your life

What you receive: grace and truth, riches of glory

You encounter Him as the Word in all dimensions: graphe, logos, rhema, living Word. You encounter Him as the Spirit in all dimensions: presence, glory, anointing

Three things are born: transformation, empowerment and the awakening of ordination

When you encounter the Word, all you receive is packaged as grace and truth John 1:14. Grace speaks of empowerment. Truth speaks of transformation. Peter called it the manifold grace of God 1 Peter 4:10

When you encounter the Spirit, all you receive is called the riches of glory Ephesians 1:17 to Ephesians 1:18, Philippians 4:19

You get to grace and truth by the Word. You get to riches of glory by the Spirit

A believer not doing business with the Word and the Spirit will not know what God has planned for him

If you get here in life, the devil can relocate his headquarters to your bedroom. He will be impotent concerning your destiny. The devil is not powerful

Is the one whose power was stripped a threat to you? No. Believers are not journeying

Ecclesiastes 10:7

It is an abomination the way many of us live. When a man who should live in abundance is struggling, the Bible calls it an abomination

The believer has not made up his mind to enter the commonwealth of Israel

Miracle, sign, wonder, healing, deliverance

When a miracle happens you have drawn from something out of your realm. These are the terms, so you know what we are talking about

1. Miracle

   From dunamis. Power, mighty works, supernatural ability

   An extraordinary divine power that produces outcomes beyond human ability or natural process. Healing and deliverance are part of miracles, but miracle is beyond them

2. Sign

   From semeion. A mark, a token, an indication

   A supernatural manifestation whose primary purpose points not to itself but to something else. Water turned to wine was a miracle, and a sign because it pointed to Jesus as God John 2:11

   A sign is a miracle pregnant with a message. It wants to reveal something other than itself

   A miracle can be a sign that the ministry has entered another season. The message is not the walking. The message is the season

   Maybe a season of authority. Everybody in the ministry suddenly starts doing supernatural things and you ask what is going on. That miracle was an announcement that a grace has rested

3. Wonder

   From teras. An astonishing occurrence that provokes marvel

   A crippled person stands and walks. That holy shock and reverence is what we refer to as a wonder

4. Healing

   Supernatural restoration of wholeness, health, vitality or soundness of a person

5. Deliverance

   Supernatural rescue, liberation or release from bondage, captivity or oppression, usually from the devil

Anything included in grace, truth or the riches of glory, a miracle delivers to you. It can impact utterance, supernatural wisdom and ability for productivity. The least testimony we are taking is healing

Some of you will leave this service and for the next two weeks have encounters on how to start a company or get into an investment that will change your finances forever

Miracles are wider than healing

Your consciousness is the bandwidth that allows receiving. If it is narrowed to healing, you may think the service doesn't apply to you if you have no sickness

Some will receive the miracle of favor. Somebody will meet you and give you a brand new house

He says, do you have a house? I have this six-bedroom flat, I don't know if you can manage it. You say, give me, let me manage it in a royal way

Widen the scope of your expectation. Most of you don't receive because of the narrowness of your expectation

Tumors disappeared, deaf ears opened. That is one stream. There are many rivers

Illustration: the cars

I gave out cars. I gave out every car and was left with one S-class Mercedes. A man called me and said he saw in a dream that my wife needed an SUV

I said yes, that is a correct vision

He had supported us several times and I thought he would send one. He said the Lord will provide it. Three weeks later somebody entered my compound and said there is a Cadillac Escalade

Before he came I had seen two. I had been discussing with a reverend about needing some for crusade

Two weeks after, two of them parked in my compound. Two or three weeks after, another G-Wagon parked in my compound

They are real. Things beyond human ability and process will happen to you. Somebody can meet you after this service and give you a house. Some can give you an estate. It is possible. Believe it

Elijah sat in one spot and ravens fed him morning and night through the famine 1 Kings 17. When the ravens could no longer get bread he was directed elsewhere and food multiplied

Your consciousness needs to be enlarged. I will show you the dimension where work is required, but you must also accept the dimension that may not require work

Somebody can call you and give you a company. That is why I gave you the testimony. It is not for vanity

Your mind needs to open. Somebody's mind has been locked. He doesn't think good can happen to him. Tell him you had an accident and died, he will believe it

Tell him he had cancer and was dying on a hospital bed, he will believe it. Tell him God supernaturally lifts him up and he asks how. You didn't ask how the sickness came

Now you ask how it will go Ecclesiastes 11:5

He said, I've called you to reap where you did not sow. Does that mean don't work hard? No. I'm not teaching laziness. All of us must and will work hard

But if all you have is what you work for, your life will be full of frustration

Miracles that affect the mind and works

You will leave this service and become dissatisfied with yourself. A hunger will be born. For six months you will be reading, studying, learning a skill. You won't know where the energy comes from

You will sit down and learn fintech in three months because God wants to build one through you. You will read books on wisdom and leadership. It's still a miracle

There are miracles that don't demand works, and there are miracles that are worked. It is called workings of miracles

You may not receive a bodily healing but you receive a burden in your mind. You wake at 1:00 a.m. and sit till 4:00. Why am I like this?

You start seeking, reading, studying, learning a skill

It looks as if nothing is happening. The miracle is going through a gestation period. After a year a door opens and you start building something that becomes a transgenerational heritage

Miracles affect your mind, your emotion, the works of your hand, your relationships, everything that constitutes your existence

Some of you, distraction will die. For the next one year you will drill into one thing until you gain mastery

Some of you, sexual appetites that are about to ruin your destiny will die. You are scattering your energy everywhere, that is why you can't build

A young man void of understanding took the way of the harlot. She said, come let us lie together, my husband has travelled to a far land. That way is the way of death Proverbs 7

Some of you will be rescued from the way of death. A foolish man wastes his energy on wine and sexual immorality

When a miracle happens, appetites that don't warrant the manifestation of your destiny will be mortified

A renovation of mentality

Psalm 49:20

Years ago I heard in my mind: have you ever seen a governor on a convoy stop on the road to ease himself? There are values that make for a kingly mentality

Your mentality determines the height you will get to. There are things you do that edit you out of greatness. There are things you do that steward you into destruction because your mentality is wrong

When a miracle happens, sometimes it is a renovation of your whole mentality: how you see things, how you act under pressure, in the face of a blessing, in the face of kings, among the downtrodden

God will re-edit your value system and relocate your operation so that authority and influence can be entrusted to you

The way some of you are living, even if something is yours it will be kept for a decade before you qualify to handle it. That's why you need a miracle. Your mind must be transformed

There are people who must eat whatever they have that same day. How can they be great? The miracle is to master your appetite, delay gratification and invest strategically, so that you can buy tomorrow today

Every CEO and billionaire is a reader. Some read one book per week. Some of you have not had the discipline to invest in your destiny since this year began

You can't sit down to study, you can't follow anybody to learn, and you hope a billion will fall on your lap

The internet where you waste your time every day, there are people making billions from it

We are at the fifth economic revolution. Life is being re-edited. Industrialization, human value systems, education, intelligence, everything around human civilization is being reprogrammed. This is the best time to live

Yet some have vowed to remain in obscurity because they can't catch the trend. It takes nothing now to learn a skill. AI can teach you

You can learn to master's degree level online at no cost

There are many sites that teach human trade and economics. But people will never learn. No discipline

Some of you, the miracle you need is the miracle of intelligent decision making

The miracle of speed

Some have remained at the same level for 10 years. God will move you ahead of time. It can happen by the hand of God and it can happen through process

You are still sewing the way you sewed 10 years ago. You are still drawing with a brush

You will need competencies at different intensities, dexterity, mastery. You must gain mastery before certain levels of power are handed to you

You stand to address people and in five minutes everybody loses interest, from poor presentation or lack of communication power. You make five grammatical errors in one minute. You say I'm a preacher

If you don't pay the price to develop, re-edit and refine yourself by the ability of God, you may never amount to anything

Some of you will receive a mental upgrade and capacity for reproduction, both in the natural and in every other sphere. What God has put in your hand will grow at an astronomical speed

You will have received impartations, knowledge, mastery, competence, dexterity

Wasted access

You don't have to be old. You can be young and make a difference. I work with a lot of young people and sometimes I marvel at what they can become

People waste grace and access because they are not ready for destiny. There is a man people pay money to see, and God gives you access to him

You walk with him and you are neither learning nor paying attention

If I say I'm around, people will come in their thousands. But there are people who walk with me daily

I give them instruction five times and they can't keep it because they are not paying attention. Some travel from nations just to get a minute with me and that minute changes their lives

But there are people who sit with you and can't pay attention. A generation heading nowhere

• Any aspect that requires the empowerment of God, let it rest upon you now.
• Any aspect of your life where you need a miracle, let it happen to you now.

5 protocols of drawing

You draw from grace, from truth, from the riches of glory

1. Understanding

   Daniel 11:32, Hebrews 11:6

   If you don't understand the structures of the realm, you can't draw. You must understand who God is, what God can do and how God works

   Some of us don't know who God is. Some don't know what God can do. Some don't know how God works

   There are times God operates by sovereignty. You don't need to know Him, how He works or what He can do, yet you receive

   The man born blind did not know Jesus. The disciples asked who sinned and didn't know how God works. Yet Jesus healed the man. That is sovereignty at work John 9

   The man at the pool of Bethesda had been there 38 years

   He didn't know that it takes faith to receive, he didn't know how God works, he didn't know who was talking John 5:1 to John 5:9. Yet Jesus decided to intervene

   If you will live in the realm of miracles, don't expect it from sovereignty. You must understand the ordinances that govern the manifestation of miracles

   This is the first protocol. You must understand that the one you came to is able

   Your understanding vindicates you when you make demand on spiritual realities. When you see a man talk and the heavens respond, he knows something. Revelation is the mother of manifestations Ephesians 1:17 to Ephesians 1:18

   Many of us have not paid attention to issues of understanding. When we have needs and require God's intervention we become like aliens, though we are sons in the kingdom of light

   Our God can't reach us even though we are His children

   Hosea 4:6

   God's people perish not because He doesn't care, not because He's not able. It is for lack of knowledge. Miracles are real. The question is what do you know

   Stop struggling with cancer. Battle your ignorance. Stop struggling with failure. Battle your ignorance. If you surmount the mountain of ignorance, everything will come to you on a platter

   Your problems are not problems. They are alarm systems of areas of ignorance

   When any problem manifests don't ask where it is coming from. Ask what don't I know. Darkness is a revelation of the absence of light. When light comes darkness has sufficient intelligence to disappear

   Understanding is the mountain blocking you. Remove it and faith will suddenly appear and level every hill before you

   When you understand you have faith, and faith is the precursor that makes miracles crystallize from the realm of God

2. Faith

   Romans 10:17, John 8:32, John 8:36

   Understanding and revelation are the mother of faith. The proof you have understood is that you will believe, and you will be made free

   Many in church have no understanding and no faith, so they depend on the overflow from the man of God

   The church of the last days is not a church of one superstar but of many giants where everybody knows and everybody has faith

   When you hear me you should be charged to do more, not to ask for peanuts and messy drops

   You have left the level of Lord, please touch me today. That is for babies. You have entered the realm of dominion, the basilia, where you reign in life as kings

   Have the God kind of faith Mark 11:22 to Mark 11:24. The mountain is not a problem. Believe, then command it to disappear

   No mountain of sickness, demons or lack has the competence or capacity to refuse your command. The question is, are you speaking from faith or fear, from understanding or ignorance

   4 components your faith must have:

   1. It hears

      Faith that does not hear does not exist. I'm not saying rise with zeal and start declaring anything. If God did not promise it, your faith can't procure it

      The things your faith can command are the things captured in the Word

   2. It has expectation

      Acts 3:4 to Acts 3:5

      The lame man gazed at them expecting to receive something, money inclusive, but beyond money anything that can advance his life. Many come to services without expectation. That is why they keep receiving nothing

      Your expectation is the boundary of your word. Zero expectation, your word does not exist. Limitless expectation, your word is limitless

      I'm not expecting to fall sick. I'm expecting to live healthy at 100. I'm not expecting to be poor. I have too much value for wealth not to gravitate to me

      I'm expecting to destroy anything that stands in my path

      If you gave me a billion naira now I wouldn't be shocked. I would be grateful. I'm expecting unquantifiable wealth. Give me $1 million and I'm not confused, I'm expecting more

      Some of you are not even expecting 100,000. Somebody gives you 50,000 and you compromise. Some lose their virginity for 20,000. They don't know the requirements of faith

      If nobody stands when I declare healing, I will take it and declare again. Something must happen because I have expectation. I will only be surprised if nothing happens

      We stand on massive platforms week in week out. Never confused, never stranded. We come on top because we have seen it. I honor the platform and the gatekeepers but I'm not shocked

      That was when we were children in the things of the spirit. We have mastered something

      Many places ask me to come. I say, sorry you didn't come quick, my schedule is tight

      Stop jumping at things as though you don't have a standard. Most of us can't reject anything because we have no expectation

   3. It is tenacious

      You can't have Bible faith and not be tenacious

      The woman with the issue of blood was sick for 12 years. She shouldn't come among people, and the press was strong. She broke through a mammoth crowd and touched Jesus Mark 5

      Bartimaeus was told to shut up and he shouted the more Mark 10

      The Canaanite woman. Jesus said I won't give the children's meat to dogs. She said even the crumbs, I must take something here. Jesus marveled Matthew 15:21 to Matthew 15:28

      You say you have faith and at any little resistance you give up. People who walk in miracles don't take no for an answer

      Who told you that you won't build that company? Who told you that sickness will not go? If a doctor tells me to prepare to die, I say no, we don't die

      We fulfill purpose and we translate to glory. I came for you to confirm what men say, but I have a superior report

   4. It acts

      Acts 3:6, James 2:19 to James 2:20, James 2:26

      Peter said rise up and walk. The man didn't stand, so Peter held him and pulled him up. Strength entered his leg

      You can't command miracles if you don't act

      Those days I would preach and declare, and I wasn't bold to say if you are healed, stand up. Something said in my head, what if nobody stands? I had to overcome that fear

      I told myself, if they are healed do I take the glory? If I don't take the glory, why am I concerned about the shame?

      I told myself, the words I'm speaking, is it not the Word of God? If it isn't true for things in time, how can I be sure it will be true for my eternity?

      I will believe the Word for material things so that I can believe it for eternal things

      If I don't believe God can heal cancer when He says so, why will I believe He can save me from the lake of fire when He said so? Quit deceiving yourself

      Suddenly the realm opened up

      We have seen blind eyes, deaf ears, the lame walking, the dead coming back to life. Not because we are special but because we are full of faith

      The more I hear, the more my expectation increases, my tenacity grows and I'm motivated to act. Then miracles cannot be stopped

3. Yieldedness and obedience to the Word and the Spirit

   John 2:1 to John 2:11, Ecclesiastes 11:5

   The Spirit will always instruct you on what to do. The Word will always instruct you on what to do

   Whatever He tells you to do, don't think, do it. Do before thinking. The only time you wait is if the instruction is not clear. The moment it is clear, obey

   How it will happen is not your department

   The Spirit says go and register the company. You say when I have capital. That capital will never come. The Spirit says jump and run. You say how will people look at me

   He says jump, He will catch you. If you don't yield you won't see it

   Illustration: the woman on crutches

   In Australia with Pastor Godwin I heard, go and pull her up. A white lady with crutches. What if nothing happens? I gave Pastor Godwin my handkerchief to put on her, the safe zone. Nothing happened

   I heard again, go pull her up. I went to her. If we die, let's die here. I put my hands on her leg. Be healed. I collected the crutches. Stand up. She stood

   She turned and looked at me. She started walking. She kept shouting, I feel no pain

   I went back to Australia this year. She travelled from Sydney to testify again. I'm still walking free. The bones were broken in many places

   We know what we are doing here. We didn't travel all the way from Africa to come and play with you. Our God is alive. That is when scriptures come alive

   Some of you, God says tell that man you have a vision. You say, I don't know him. What if he drives you away? You won't die. Tell him

   Illustration: the kingdom project

   Moro wanted to do a kingdom project. The Holy Ghost told him, go on television and explain the vision. Don't beg anybody. He said this is the Bahamas, who will bring this money out?

   Is God regulated by the economy of the Bahamas?

   When God became strong on him he went and said it. Not two people, not ten. One person called and said how much is the cost, I will pay

   Your life can change in a moment. When the Spirit prompts, will you yield? Some of us quench the Spirit. Open a YouTube platform and talk about the love of God

   You say when will I reach 10,000? Who is talking numbers? We are talking divine instruction

   When God speaks, we obey. Ezekiel was told to command the bones and bones joined to bones. There was no brain yet but bones had intelligence

   After the bones connected, sinews appeared from nowhere. He prophesied again and the same oxygen in the air entered the dry bones. They rose, not as living men, but as an army

   Where did they get the training from? When God speaks anything is possible Ezekiel 37

4. Prayer and decree

   Mark 11:24

   Focus on the Master, not the mountain. The mountain does not have the power you credit it

   In the faith realm we change things by decrees. If it's mercy, you talk. If it's power, you talk. If it's faith, you talk. Words are instruments of dominion

   What directs spiritual resources to you is your words

   The moment of faith is the moment of prayer. A man who does not pray may not see the power of faith. There are times prayer is a decree, a demand, a petition

   By all means pray

   When I declare, I know it is done. But you who are receiving must place the demand through prayer

   Father, I can't hear words like this and be the same. I don't care for how long this affliction has remained. It leaves me now. The doors must open this week.

   That's how you talk. You begin to see the forces of heaven deployed in your direction

5. Standing on the name of Jesus

   Colossians 3:17, Acts 3:6

   The name edits out your limitation, your unworthiness, your inefficacies and replaces them with the Master

   When you use the name of Jesus it is as good as if Jesus were the one making the request, to give or to receive

   To invoke miracles you must understand the ordinances, believe them, submit to them and the Lord, place demand in prayer and stand on the name of Jesus

   If you operate this nothing will be impossible to you

What miracles bring

The resources captured in grace, truth and the riches of glory. Wisdom for witty invention. Vitality to live above sickness

Utterance to communicate the mysteries of God in a way that receives the backing of heaven. Your life literally becomes a wonder. Favor that breaks protocols. Influence and authority

Some of you need wisdom for productivity. Some need favor that suspends protocols. Some need healing and vitality. Some need deliverance from demonic influences. Whatever you need, make a demand

Some of you will leave this service and the yoke of sin will break off your life forever. A particular sickness that has bedeviled you for years will disappear

God will impart wisdom to start systems, companies and institutions

• Blessings, anointings, wisdom, utterance, favor, vitality and strength, manifold expressions of grace and riches in glory, right now God is releasing them upon people in the name of Jesus Christ.
• I take authority over every devil of infirmity that has plagued you. Devils of torment, devils of sickness, be bound in the name of Jesus Christ. Get out of their bodies right now.
• I take authority over every chain of sickness. Tumors in the breast, abdomen, neck, anywhere in the body, pains, eye diseases, ear diseases, heart conditions, all kinds of organ infirmity, I command the chains, break now.
• I command tumors to dematerialize. Eye conditions be healed. Ear conditions be healed. Mental disorders be healed. Organ infections be healed. Every bone condition and every muscular condition, I release the healing power of God.
• Eyes begin to see, ears begin to hear, pains be gone, tumors be gone, bones receive strength.
• From the crown of your head to the soles of your feet, be healed and made whole in the name of Jesus.
• Everything that has limited you from manifesting wisdom is knocked off your life. Receive grace for supernatural wisdom.
• Everything that has kept you small and resisted the seed of greatness, I take authority over it.
• Everything that has removed the influence of God and kept you in obscurity, I decree it is knocked off right now.
• Everything that has stolen your opportunities and locked doors against you, I command their powers broken. Windows, doors and gates, they open to you now.
• The power for productivity, I release it upon you now. Go and start businesses, institutions, companies. Be increased on every side.
• The anointing that lifts men, that makes veterans out of non-entities, the anointing that brings favor, visibility and speed.
• By the authority of the name of Jesus and the power of the priesthood of the endless life, it is released unto you now.
• Anything that has brought you pain or failure, I command it to vacate your life. This is the beginning of another phase: a phase of impact, vitality, productivity, greatness and enlargement.
• May the seasons of limitation be over forever. May the seasons of afflictions be over forever. Rise up into a new dimension, a new season, a new order in the name of Jesus Christ.
• Your month is blessed. September is the month of your announcement, your lifting, your transition. You are crossing your Red Sea this month.
• You are crossing from the wilderness into the land of your blessings. In this month you will be remembered.
• This is your month of consolidation and ingathering. God will bless you in your going out and your coming in. You will rise and shine.
• You will not die. No one connected to you will die. You will live to proclaim the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
• I see men laying up resources in abundance from this month. Enter into realms of abundance. Enter into realms of rest in the name of the Lord Jesus.
