"Miracles That Inspire Belief In Jesus " Pt 2

---

Alright the last week we started on this whole entire I can't say it's a series. I think it's talking about the importance of miracles. And the reason we started this is because they are things that belongs to us as children of God.  

The scriptures is very clear. It says unto you are given the mysteries of the kingdom. And we never stop and ask ourselves, what are the mysteries, right? And if they are given to us, are we experiencing them?  

And the world, right, as we know it, has its way of doing things. If you're of the world, you do what the world does. If you want to be successful in the world, you have to be greedy, right. That's just what the world does.  

If you want to be if you want to be famous in the world, you have to either manipulate or whatever it is. So the world is so good at stealing and threatening and manipulating. And, you know, there's so there are people who are so good at this that they've actually become billionaires because that's what the world system is.  

On the other hand, we as people who are in the kingdom, we have our system that we were given to make sure that we excel in it, we utilize it, we get better at it because if we do what the system requires or the system demands, it simply means we are going to be successful.  

So in our kingdom, love, peace, joy, happiness, giving, thanksgiving, worship, prayer, miracles. These are all things that were given to us so that when we are in our kingdom, we have to be expressive in those things to show that we are part of a different kingdom.  

If we ever meet an American outside of America, if anything happens to them, the first thing they will tell you is that I'm American. Like, yeah, we know you're American, but you should not be stealing, right?  

But why are they citing America? Because they know I belong in that kingdom and that kingdom comes with privileges. Now, what the enemy has done, and we spoke about this briefly last week, is that he has either made us shy about things that were given to us.  

Or to not believe in things that we were given to excel in this kingdom or to taint them worse off the worst one is tainting them so that you and I we literally shun the things that were given to us to be part of our system. 

Miracles are given and were given to us Mysteries of this kingdom were given to us why so that we can express ourselves, but also to show forth that we are not part of that kingdom, but part of this kingdom.  

That's why the Bible says these signs will follow those who believe. Why are they following? Because they are there to prove that you are part of a different kingdom. You walk differently.  

You do things differently. Your belief systems are different. Says the kingdom of God is love, joy and happiness in the Holy Ghost. So our joy in this kingdom does not come because things are happening well.  

They come because we are in the Holy Ghost but what we have done. That's why the Jesus called it says the children of light are like children in the marketplace. If you ever watch children in the marketplace, they are running all over the place.  

If you go to the mall, they're just giggling and touching and throwing and moving. But unbeknownst to them, they are in a place of value where goods and money is being exchanged millions and millions of dollars.  

But they are unaware. Why are they unaware? Because they are children in the marketplace. And then Jesus says, the children of light, you and I, we are like children in a marketplace.  

Because the value that God has placed on this kingdom supersede every other kingdom. But yet we function like we don't have authority, that we were not given mysteries, that miracles are not part of our existence and how we think.  

So that's why when stuff happens, I see a believe. I'm like, why are you freaking out? We were told these things by Jesus. And then after he told us, there's fear not because I am with you.  

But what do we do? We leave this kingdom and go run to the other kingdom and try to operate in that kingdom and I believe in my own estimation this is why believers always fail when we try to do things in the kingdom of darkness using the values and systems that God has put and given to us in our kingdom. 

So last week we started this whole it's a little testimony I talked and I called and shared with Veronica and Calvin on Friday so last week we started talking about miracles I was like hey, we need to understand that this is following us.  

We're not looking for miracles, but they are following us because we believe. So, this kid that was brought to me in the summer, he plays soccer, extremely high energy. They find it hard and difficult to deal with this boy.  

Because he's just, he doesn't listen and he just does whatever he feels like doing. When he gets bored, he is just shut off and he's not getting bored because he's boring, he's because he wants to be challenged.  

So I worked with him three, four, five times and we kind of developed a nice little rapport. And I would safely say that he's afraid of me. Cause I would just call and say, how is Hoyt doing?  

And the moment he hears Coach Zee called, he's like, oh my God, I gotta get my egg together. And he started doing well at his team because he knows if he gets with Coach Zee, I'm going to ask, how are things happening?  

Explain to me how it happened. So, and me and the family have become close. He lives right here in our neighborhood. Thursday, uh, Wednesday, I get a call, Coach Zee, something's going on with Hoyt.  

I'm like, What's happening? He said, He came back from school and he says he can't see the board. And they thought that Hoyt is just saying that because he doesn't want to go to school.  

So like, no, Hoyt is like, I can't see, ma'am. Something's going on with my eyes and all I see now is dark spots. By the end of Wednesday, he can't see. They have to hold his hand and lead him up the stairs.  

Thursday morning comes, he's now literally blind. On Thursday morning, they book an appointment, go to the doctor and doctor said, hey, as you leave this office, I need to send you somewhere quickly and you need to go over there right now.  

So they go over there, the doctor meets with them, run all tests. They're like, yeah. They diagnosed them with some rare form of eye disease where if it catches you, you probably go blind in two weeks.  

It's very rare. So now they're all like, what is going on? So they went to another doctor, says, hey, consultation, go to another doctor. And the other doctor's like, yeah that's what's going on.  

It's either if that's not what's going on, he might have brain tumor, which is causing pressure on his eyes that he might not see. So now they are now grappling with the fact that actually this is happening in real time because this boy no longer sees.  

Of course, the calls and text us and we call, we're praying and he's praying. And if you're on prayer call on Friday morning, I kind of mentioned the family. Because I knew they were dealing with this stuff.  

So the doctor they saw on Thursday says, well, you're going to have to go and see this specialist. He's the best eye doctor in Birmingham and he's coming into town. He's coming back tonight and schedule an appointment to go see him in the afternoon.  

So the appointment is at 2.41 P.M. they go to lunch. They are holding this boy at lunch because he is blind. Called, we prayed in the morning. I pray, we prayed in the prayer hall in the morning, they prayed over there and everybody's gonna pray.  

The previous doctor from the night before says to them, do you guys pray? They're like, yes, you probably need to start praying. One hour before the appointment, the boy says, mom, I can see.  

He's like, no, you can't. He's like, I can see. He says, read this bottle of ketchup. He reads the contents behind. Can you read that? Do you see the thing outside there? I can see it. By the time they get to the doctor and the doctor says, I don't see anything.  

He says, but look at the reports from yesterday. Here's the scans. Here's like, yeah, I know, but this boy has 20/20 vision. They leave. You still can see no issues since Friday to today. Talk to them earlier on, doing great.  

These signs shall follow those who believe. Now, I'm sharing this story is because I always ask myself this question, guys why are we talking about this right now? Not last week, not next year, not last month, not the year before. 

Because this is what God is reminding us of. There are things that you and I need, and we don't have time to do them. In this lifetime, we do not have time to do them. And the only way they are going to happen It has to be a miracle.  

Salvation is a miracle that a person who was a sinner yesterday, today is no longer a sinner. He used to feel a certain way yesterday, today no longer feels that way. He used to have a different belief system, today they are different, that's a miracle.  

But the issue is that you and I, we have been tricked by enemy to shun things that God has given to us as an inheritance. Because others have either abused them. Isn't it amazing if they say there's a miracle crusade?  

There's thousands of people that follow to this meeting and why is that? Because at the bottom of our hearts we know this rightfully belongs to us we know that we know that but the enemy tells us nah it's not for you. 

Or if somebody abuses so much that we like I don't want to be associated with that but There are things that we need miracles for. There are definitely things we need miracles for because we don't have time or people that we're praying for don't have time.  

And we're going to need God to do something that is totally going to be a miracle. Alright, what are the purposes of miracles? Number one, they attract mankind. Number two, they are accredited to Jesus.  

They are accredited to Jesus. Without him, we don't have miracles. Salvation is a miracle because of Jesus. How it all happens, nobody knows. But we know that you are now a new creation because you have received through the aid of the Holy Spirit to be the person that you are.  

Some of the things that we used to like and we wake up one day we no longer like them. That's a miracle. It's a mystery why the sun comes out from the east every single day and nobody ever questions it.  

That's a miracle, that's a mystery. And here's the third reason why miracles, they reveal the true nature of who God is. God is a creator. He creates out of nothing. You were sick and you're no longer sick. 

What happened? We don't know, but we know out of nothing without medicine, without going to the doctor, this guy is now cancer free. That's a miracle. I used to like to do certain things, that's a miracle.  

Some of the things that we used to do when we could have died. Literally, if we start looking back at some of the stuff we used to do, you'd be like, man, how am I still alive? It's a miracle.  

Last week, we talked about the categories of miracles that Jesus showed. Number one, those that pertains to nature, those which pertains to mankind, and then those who pertains to the spirit world.  

Casting out a demonic spirit out of a person is a miracle. somebody was possessed they are no longer possessed something was in them that they could not see but now they are free they feel the weight has been taken off their shoulder. 

That's a miracle, so when the scripture says these signs will follow those who believe in other words people that have great level of faith Signs and wonders and miracles are going to follow. Isn't it amazing?  

I'm coming to you a lot of scriptures. Isn't it amazing that the moment we raise our hands to say, Lord, I want to do that for you or for somebody else? All of a sudden God shows up and gives you, because the scripture says, I'll give seeds to what? To the sower, right?  

So in this whole entire process, the only thing that you have to do is a desire to give. And then it says, oh, you want to be a Sower? Here's the seed. All right, we're going to look through a whole lot of scriptures today. Jesus feeds 5,000 people for nothing.  

Bread fish is multiplying in his hands. As he breaks, it multiplies. Now, we read these stories, but I don't think we ever really stop and think what 5,000 people look like 5,000 people.  

If you go to a high school football match, most likely them stadiums have 5,000 people. Jesus then divides men sit over there women sit over there and where is the fish they bring it he blesses it now. 

I want you to imagine feeding a high school stadium for 5 000 people with five loves, with five fish with two loaves and everybody is so full that they have baskets after that to take home. 

I mean what kind of power is this this is what we are working with you and I this is what we are with now the same person who did that says to you and I greater works will you do than I did. 

So is it that there's no greater works or is it our faith has not been enlarged to that level because that's a level of faith. Peter is in prison under arrest they are praying over there an angel comes and opens the prison doors. 

We have uh is it Ruckus in New York right, now and you imagine that federal prison and the way it's guarded an angel comes and the person that was inside we see him walking in Central Avenue and everybody says, no, there's no breach.  

We didn't see anything. You can't see anything on camera, but that person is out. And we say now, in this hour, in this season, we are going to need miracles to convince some people that surely God is real.  

Because we talked about this last week, what we know as truth no longer exists the way it should exist. You can say something that's true and people will literally deny it. Deception is so rife that the person who's being deceived has no idea that it's been deceived. So let's look at a lot of scriptures.  

Acts 4:30, While you stretch out your hand to heal and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus. While you stretch out your hand to heal and signs and wonders are performed through the name of Jesus.  

So we don't get a ton of miracles until Jesus shows up. Because Jesus reveals, it comes right, it says, I'm revealing who the Father is. Remember Peter, James and them boys? He says, let's go, Philip, he says, let's go see Jesus because he will show us who the Father is.  

So Jesus reveals the nature of who God is and through the miracles that he was performing, he was revealing the character of who God is. So now he says, he will stretch out your hand to heal, then signs and wonders are performed through the name of the holy servant Jesus.  

John 4:48, So Jesus said to him, unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe. I mean, the scripture doesn't tell that in the end times, Satan is going to harden people's hearts.  

And what do you need the heart for? To worship the God with all your heart, right? You don't get saved without the heart, which is intent, linking up with the spirit. Because you must worship God with all your heart and with all your soul.  

So if the heart is not involved, salvation is not happening. It doesn't happen in your head, it happens in your heart. And by the way, you should all know that as much as we think with our head, we think with our hearts.  

So unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe. Who have ever seen a wonder? Because one thing, if you ever see something that is a wonder, it defines logic, which means the mind is totally and extremely right away eliminated from the equation. Because you can logically define it.  

So now what's left is for the heart to deal with what it's seeing. That's why most times we always say, yeah, that must have been God. That must have been God.  

Acts 3:16, And his name by faith in his name has made this man strong whom you see. This is after somebody has been saved and no And the faith that is through Jesus has given this man his perfect health in the presence of you all.  

Now, Jesus says in Matthew 17:20, he says to them, because of you, little faith, because of your little faith, for truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move from here and to there, and it will be moved and nothing will be, no, and nothing will be impossible for you.  

Now, what is nothing being impossible for you? Nothing, that means almost everything that we see, right? Won't be, won't be impossible. But do we really believe that? Or is something the enemy is just like, I don't know, I'm not really sure. 

I'm not really, really sure. And here's the verse we are all talking about, Mark 16:17. And these signs will accompany those who believe in my name. They will cast out demons and they'll speak in new tongues.  

So if we, I have a question. We all have been in church for the past I don't know how many years now. Where last did you see a demonic spirit being cast out of a person in church? We rarely see it now.  

But we know for a fact that there's people who are possessed. And Jesus is telling us that's a miracle. It is a miracle. John 14:12, truly, truly, twice Jesus message. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works I do.  

And greater works than this will he do because I am going to the Father. Now think about that statement, right? Because that part we kind of leave it out. Because I am going to the Father.  

So you are only going to do greater works. Then he did because he went back to the Father. Why is that relationship, why is it Him going back to the Father forces or allows us to do greater works?  

Because He says, I'm going to sit on the right hand of the Father and now advocate on your behalf to do the same things that I am doing. In other words, the power that I have, I now have to share it with you.  

And while I share with you, I will still sit on the right hand Father and intercede on your behalf that you will never fail if you believe on me. Acts 19:11, And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul.  

This is given to us because remember, I always say the Bible was not given to us is something that is beyond or that is untouchable in terms of the experiences in it.  

The reason we have the Bible is God showing us what he can do with other different people who have lived before us and what they were capable to do because of their faith and belief in him.  

So they were documented so that you understand this is what this kingdom is about. So it's not something that was given to us because why would then God show us something that is so difficult to do and says, you know what, I'm just showing you that I can do this with other people, but it's not for you.  

Then we wouldn't need the Bible. But he's using these people as an example. That if you walk in this kind of faith, these signs are going to follow you. Mark 16:20, this is talking about the disciples.  

And they went out and preached everywhere while the Lord went with them and confirmed the message they were speaking by accompanying signs. So after they had preached, the confirmation came from God following signs and wonders.  

Why? So that these people, they get to believe surely Jesus is walking with these people and miracles are everywhere. But we now have been blinded to them because one, we logically want to understand things.  

It's a miracle that every single one of us, we are gathered on this Zoom meeting, with all the possibilities of where we could be and what could have happened to us. Vee what could have happened to us in our era or in the things that we were doing.  

It's a miracle, it's a miracle. Alright, now let's look at King Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar, he knows God. But he doesn't believe because he thinks he's the guy. So the only way he gets to understand, the only way King Nebuchadnezzar is transformed, he takes these boys and he throws them in the fire.  

That was exceedingly made hot seven times. The people that were throwing them actually died throwing them in the fire. He's standing outside and he sees them walking in the fire and then he gets a revelation and he says is it didn't we throw three guys in there?  

Then he says I see the fourth it's the son of the man son of man he sees Jesus and he is transformed in his thinking because he can't explain this what saved Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego is because the man had a dream that he asked them to tell them what he dreamed about but then also explain it. 

They go and pray, they come back and tell them, this is what you dreamt about and this is what it means. That's a miracle. Cynthia, I want you to imagine tomorrow I call and say, Cyn, can you please tell me what I dreamt about?  

And then I want you to interpret it. If you don't, I'm throwing you in the fire. You're done. I'm killing every single one of you. And then you go and intercede and then God reveals to you. I mean, what does that do to you?  

And then what does it do to the person who's on the receiving end? This is why we're talking about miracles, not because we want them. They were given to us as a right. I know there are things that we all need in this life that we need God to move on.  

Sarge has a request. Most of his kids and most of his family, they're Muslims. And he's in the heart, he's praying that God, they may find Jesus. Now, how much time does Sarge need to talk to every single one of them and convince them about Christ?  

That's going to take him a whole entire year. And Sarge does not have a year to waste. But you know what Sarge is going to need? He's going to need a miracle. He's going to need a miracle.  

That's why we need them. I talked to Danielle and she tells me about the kids. And I know some of the things that have to happen in order for Zip to change the way that she thinks, it has to be a miracle.  

Because if you're saying maybe for all these years we have talked to her and somebody's talking and everybody's and things that are supposed to be logical, she doesn't see it. And in order for something to transpire, it has to be a miracle.  

Especially if it pertains to things that we've been asking God for a long time. Remember, I have expressed that sometimes, most times, it's not that God hasn't answered the prayer, but most times it's because the prayer is stuck in human will.  

Somebody has to actually give you what the Lord, because especially things that are made mad. If, Cynthia, you need a thousand dollars, God is going to have to talk to somebody to give you a thousand dollars or give you an idea for somebody give you a thousand dollars.  

But you know what happens, Cynthia, is that now you are praying, God speaks to me and say, hey, I want you to give Cynthia a thousand dollars. And now my will is in place. It's like, nah, why should I do that? Maybe I should just give it 200.  

So most times miracles are stuck in human will. In fact, what God needs to do is stuck in human will. So in order for something to happen and you're like, God, I need my roof fixed. It's leaking and I don't know where I'm going to get money.  

Two weeks later, a tornado passes a mile away from your house, rips off the roof. You have insurance money to fix the roof and do all other things on top of whatever it is that you want to do, that's a miracle.  

And Jesus showed us over and over again through nature, through people, through spirit. Twelve years she's dealing with an issue of blood that nobody could deal with, nobody could touch anymore.  

Spend all kinds of money on doctors and now she's shunned, kicked out of the village. The only way this girl gets saved, the only way her life is changed, it has to be a miracle and Jesus is coming this way. 

And she touches Jesus and Jesus says, your faith, your faith has healed you. So there's a relationship that exists between your faith. Cause really, what is faith? Faith is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not yet seen, right?  

What are the things not yet seen? Mysteries of this kingdom. And the scripture says, no eye have seen, no ears heard, neither has it entered your heart, what God has in store for those who do what? Love him.  

So which means that God has something that is in store for people that love him. It's just automatic. Once you love him, there's something in store. Now, if you're operating with faith, that means the moment you start exercising faith, it means something is coming. Because faith is substance of things hoped for, right?  

Evidence of things not yet seen. So once the moment you say, I have faith, something is coming, you've already activated something now we have to continue to grow our faith because whatever God has in store for you that hasn't entered your eye and ear. 

That means it's probably bigger than what you think, that's why you haven't thought of it that's why you haven't heard it but in order for that to come you have to exercise faith of the things that are unknown what is that mysteries. 

And in order for mysteries to come, we have to have faith and we have to believe. That's why the scripture says these signs will follow those who believe. So the prerequisite is not looking for miracles.  

The prerequisite is for us to have unshakable faith towards this God that he is capable of doing anything, anywhere, anytime, any moment without anybody stopping him. That's why you always hear me say in the morning, walking expectation.  

Why? Because God is capable. He is extremely capable. But God only demands that he works with people that have faith and belief that he is capable. Otherwise if he was just going to do random things without anybody exercising faith who is going to come to him believing that he is a reward and the reward of those that diligently seek him. 

We are not going to God so I want all of us to activate our faith, one of the gifts of the spirit right is the working of miracles it's a gift of the Holy Spirit. It's a gift of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 12:10 to another working of miracles, to another gift of prophecy.  

We were given, we were given the spirit of miracles, it was given. If I give you something, your job is to either receive it or deny it, or ignore it or receive it and just put it inside and not care about it. 

That's why James says we don't have because you don't ask if you ask you ask a miss, in other words this is what has been given to us as part of our kingdom to function and to work with to enable our lives to make our lives easy so that signs and wonders follow us so that somebody else gets to believe.  

If we choose, it does not mean it does not work. It means we have just shelved it. You know that book on your bookshelf that you never read, but every time you look at it, it looks good, the colors are awesome, and it just makes the room light up. 

And you have never touched it, and it's sitting right there, and the entire time you pass through it, day and night, until one day, you have to send it to the thrift store and never open it.  

It has been given to us and I'm saying this because I know we have things that we are calling God for and those things they can either be stuck in human will or they can be stuck because we're just not thinking about them or we think it's impossible.  

I mean, Jesus raised people from the dead, cursed a fig tree and it dried up tomorrow. I mean, just go out sometimes and look at a tree in your yard and say, man, how do you curse this tree and tomorrow you come back and it's just dried up?  

This is what's been given to us. this is what God has given to us so I'm speaking like this because hey I listen I need there's things I need God to move in, there's things I'm praying God for. 

 I have nieces and nephews that are stuck in Zimbabwe very smart highly intelligent but they can't go to college anywhere and he's going to have to take an act of God And I just have to believe that it's possible.  

Sarge, we're just going to have to believe that God is capable to go and touch every single one of them kids and bring them to Christ. Vee, we're just going to have to believe for mom. We're just going to have to believe for her that it's going to take a miracle to transform the way she thinks and the way she does things.  

That's what we're going to have to do. Otherwise, talking to her and trying to explain some things to her, it might never work. You know, I talked to a man years ago in German who was dealing with the pervasiveness of homosexuality.  

You know what he said to me after I have said all I needed to say about scripture and he says, Zee if you've been living like this for 60 years, you know how hard it is to change? I've done this for 60 years because I experienced something that I should have not experienced in a Catholic church.  

I have seen people, I've seen shrugs, I've gone and sat on the couch I've done it all but for 60 years I can't deal with this and that person oh he's going to have to take an act of God. A miracle has to happen to transform a person.  

He wakes up and everything is vanished out of your mind. What he ever did, what he ever experienced, whatever he ever tested, it's all gone. That's going to take an act of a miracle. And we should know there are things that literally needs a miracle.  

We should know that, that man, that there's no talking to this here. There's no shrink involved here. There's no amount of scripture I can give to this here. It's going to take God's creative force to transform that person.  

And we as believers, we should know the categories where it follows. That's why Jesus, sometimes you could just pray for somebody and they're good. Sometimes you could just say a word and they're good.  

But this kind comes out by prayer and fasting. And Jesus, for him to deal with the boy who was dealing with fire and drowning himself, he had to go to the Mount of Transfiguration and see Moses and Elijah. The prophets that dealt with fire and water to deal with the demonic spirits this boy was dealing with that could possibly drown him or burn him.  

How do you cast out devils, 6,000 of them, in one man? That's going to take a creative force that says, let there be light in the wars. And we need to know that, that man, this year, I now have to believe for greater.  

Because it's only going to take an act of God for this to happen. And now the scripture begs us and he says, we just read it, it says they preached and it was confirmed what they were preaching through miracles.  

You're trying to talk to a cousin and a niece and you're preaching to them and they're like, I can hear you, but I don't know. But when the miracle happens to confirm what you were saying, there's no denying it.  

So I want us to think about things that were given to us as the gifts by God to enjoy, to excel in, to walk in, to make a show of it. So somebody else behind there gets to believe in God. We need to walk in those things and we need to desire it.  

My people perish because they lack knowledge. What knowledge do we lack? Knowledge of things that we were given, how they operate, how it works. We need to know how this kingdom works in and out, the nuances, the little things that it's involved in.  

The scripture says this kingdom is like yeast, you don't see it, but you just see its effectiveness. What is that? What is that effectiveness that you see? You don't see it, but you just see the results.  

It's a miracle to start a church with three people and 10 years from now, there's 10,000. That's a miracle. The effectiveness of the kingdom, right, is designed that Like yeasts. It just penetrates areas and things that you and I cannot even see, but we just see the result.  

Like I don't know how this kid now is thinking and doing what he's doing. I'll give you an example. We have a boy up here who's teenager and he was he had kind of develop an addiction to the phone. 

And we explained and we explained. And he gave us his reason and why his reason. At one point he's like, hey, if you really want me to prove that I don't have, why don't you give me the phone so that I can prove to myself that I'm not addicted to it.  

I was like, do you hear what she was saying? Go buy 50 kilos of drugs and give to a drug addict to just if he can deal with it. I said, that's death waiting to happen. Then we argued and argued and I explained and explained and we went like this in circles.  

Until he's just like, you know what? Yeah, I gotta go take this to God in prayer. I ain’t arguing with you anymore. Now he's in a place where he leaves this phone here, he forgets it at the house and I'm just like, what is that?  

Because it's been given to us. It's been given to us. It's been given to us as an inheritance. It's an inheritance. It's inheritance money that we've been given. Say, hey, and choosing not to use it is just you choosing not to use it.  

Not because God does not want or because it was Jesus time. That's when they did it. No, it's just because you know what? You just don't believe that money belongs to you. You know, maybe I need to fill in some people.  

No, I don't have to. It's yours. So again, the thing that needs to change, guys, right? Is our thinking pertaining to the things that were given to us as an inheritance to actually believe that I'm going to walk in it because it was given to me.  

I expect that wherever I go, these signs will follow. You know, Danielle was asking me a few weeks ago, I was like, how come people always give you things? And I never thought of it. I realized that years ago, years ago, probably I was 16, I said, Lord, I want to be a giver.  

I just want a soul. I want to help somebody. And I know, I just, things just come my way. And sometimes in ways that you'll be like, I can't tell you how many times I've given one pair of shoes and I received four.  

And I give another I receive this a year I took 80 pairs of shoes to Zimbabwe and give to different pastors and I come back it starts raining shoes because again there's a level of belief that we are slowly forgetting. 

Because we are so used to figuring it out and logically fixing things that we now rely so much on our minds. Not understanding that, no, God did not give us logic to function in this kingdom.  

He gave us faith as a currency to exchange. That's why the prophet Ezekiel talks about, it says, those who have money can come and buy. Those who don't have money can now come and buy.  

In other words, you can exchange without the currency of the world, because in the kingdom, it does not work. It's like taking Zimbabwean dollar to the US. It's not going to work, it's not.  

In this kingdom, faith is the key. Without it, it's impossible. It's just impossible. It's not happening without it. That's why you see even people with money to make things happen. It just doesn't happen. Why? Because there's no faith involved in it.  

Until it is activated, we won't see it. The problem that you and I have is because we have already chosen to live in this kingdom. So the only way is for us to adapt to its ethos and the things that it desires for us and how we should function.  

Because that's the only way we are going to grow from faith to faith so that we can become incredible citizens in this kingdom. We are not just going to be Christians. We want to be incredible citizens, statesmen.  

Where your words, the devil recognizes, yeah, I know this one. I better not mess with Cynthia because if she goes in in there and starts praying yeah I don't want to deal with it. That's what we're trying to get to that's what we're trying to get to Daniel so we can stop arguing with Zipporah. 

Just say go I'm going to go in there and go talk to God a little bit and I'll see you later and then they wonder why stuff is not working out then God I don't know, figure it out. I've got to figure out God.  

That's what we need. Because Cynthia, what else can you tell your child that you've been telling the same thing for the past 20 years? What can you tell? What else? What words do you have to invent to say the same thing?  

And at some point you have to realize, no, I'm not dealing with this person. There is something in there. There's a spiritual force in there that is causing them to function in this way.  

And until we recognize it, then we're going to use the wrong methodology to deal with this kind. Because this kind ain't coming out by talking, it's not. This kind is coming out by a miracle. And that miracle is going to be activated by prayer and fasting.  

Quick story, it's in the scriptures. Jesus goes up the mountains, James, John, Peter. And while he's up there, a cloud covers them. While they're in that cloud, there appears Moses and Elijah.  

Jesus is talking to them and them disciples are like yo, this is phenomenal let's build a house so we can stay right here with this here this is amazing. That's their thought so in order to build whatever house they were talking about. 

They had to go down the mountains find bricks bring them up here and while this is just sustained waiting for them to build this house to stay. Meanwhile, down in the valley, while this is happening in the mountain, the other nine are trying to custard the devil in this boy.  

They are wrestling with this demonic spirit until they are tired and exhausted. They're like, man, we can't do this. Now, in turn of Matthew, they were given power they were given power in turn of Matthew. 

Before this event they had the power but they can't deal with this one until they're so baffled probably ashamed at this point in time they're like yeah man we're going to have to just wait for Jesus to come. 

Jesus comes like yo and the village is arguing and village is pretty much reporting to Jesus hey man these people you left here. They could not cast out a devil in this boy. My God, we can't believe they walk with you.  

That's what the enemy says to us. We can't believe, man, that you are part of the church with all these foolishness that's going on. Yeah, we can't believe there's no way. And Jesus goes, comes down and they're like, oh, this kind. 

And Jesus asked the symptoms right remember he says oh he throws him in the fire how long he's been doing these 12 years since birth so that means that they had accommodated living with this demonic spirit. 

Can you imagine what this family had gone through cause nobody would walk around with matchstick nobody could walk around with water because he might drown himself nobody could do any of these things, nobody. 

And Jesus says this kind comes up by prayer and fasting. And it deals with that demonic spirit and it vanishes, disappear. Thing that was struggling with from birth. There are things that are going to need that in our lives and we're going to end here.  

Let us believe, let us believe. Father, I pray for these, your people, as you continue to activate our faith. May hunger for things that were given to us and inheritance grow in us, so that we can stand as your soldiers and warriors. 

Proclaiming this very kingdom that was given to us, so that somebody somewhere gets to believe. As we go, take us in peace. May we yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit. May we do all that you have called us to do this season because we believe. Bless every single one of us in Jesus name, Amen.
