Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message.

Well, again, it's really. It's an honor for me to minister. Thank you again, Pastor. Never grow old. It's just an honor to be in this pulpit. And many of you men and women of God been to this pulpit. And it's very. It's an honor for us to do this. And thank you all for coming. And, well, our subject is prayer. My heart is just to pray for doctor for my dad when I travel with them. He never asked me to pray for him, but I have to know that I seen good things happen in his ministry. I mean, ministers that you know are a little bit cold in their ministry, they're struggling. And when that prophet's anointing flow, and he will lay hands on them and give them a word of prophecy and I mean, the church changed. I've seen it so many times, and I've seen miracles. I was with dad one time about, I don't know, 100 people somewhere line up because of problem with hearing. And maybe one or two was born deaf. They all are healed, even those, the one that deaf and dumb, they started speaking. I was with dad, and because I've seen all these miracles, I began to hunger it my spirit. See, hunger is not just you're hungry naturally, but you began to see something in your spirit, you know? You know, it seems to me that our spirit has like a natural body. We have there's ears to hear, there's eyes to see. Even God said to Moses when he revealed himself to Moses, see all prayers all over the scripture. And he was asking God about who will go with me, go with us at my presence. So he make a demand to see that presence, you know, and God showed it to him, and he said, you will see my back part. So God has a back part, you know, Right. He talked to Moses face to face. He must have a face, right? So he can hear our prayer. He must have ears to hear. Right? Praise the Lord. And he created that, the same image and likeness of God. So I learned about my spirit is not just. We know that miracles doesn't come by prayer, and I know that. But prayer will cause a hunger in your heart because prayer will bring you to revelation, revelation in your spirit. And when that revelation comes, it equals faith, because faith cometh by hearing. I'm going to teach you something about what Pastor Nancy has prophesied this year about flourishing faith. Our faith will not flourish without revelation. So this is the year and more to come that there will be a flood of revelation that will be given to the body of Christ. But there are things that we need to do to cooperate with him is prayer. Prayer is one of the greatest, you know, ability that God has given to us. And that's what happened. I started beginning to pray because I saw that miracle. I began to hunger in my spirit. I know the Lord put that in my heart. You know, your spirit has a. It seems like your. Your spirit has a belly. And the more you eat, like natural belly, more expand, you know. Right. I just see the way I way I understand it with my mind. So it's not that you just try to create hunger. You cannot create hunger without the Holy Ghost revealing it to your spirit. So I began to pray. I mean, the way I know how I prayed. I prayed every time I was with dad. He goes into his room the afternoon I go to my room and I pray. You know, I pray. I pray for those miracles the way I know how. And suddenly in my spirit, the anointing. One time, dad, we were in Iowa, he put his hands on me and that spirit of prayer began to groan. Really literally groan. And the more I groan, the more I see things in my spirit. He's the one who helped me say it in English. He helped me to cultivate what I see and speak it. And I learned that when you see something in your spirit and you speak it, I mean that revelation, because the Holy Ghost always move, it'll move you towards, you know, it moves you. And he doesn't move without us. He has to give you revelation. Amen. We call it light. Let me go to the Word so we can see it. And you see in the scripture that all these prayers listed in the Scriptures is to bring you to revelation. Amen. To bring you to revelation. So I began to. And that hunger keep on going up to today. And at one time we were with them, with Dad. I love so much dad and Pastor. Because they see, they see in us, especially me. They see in me something that not too many see. Even I myself doesn't see. I don't see it. But they see something good in me. They helped me develop it. They helped me. They keep imparting to us because you know, I grew up in the Philippines and a lot of Filipinos has a low self esteem. Sometimes we think it's honor, but really it's not. You know, I cannot mingle with others because I see myself. It's not racist. It's just slow self esteem. I Cannot be around ministers because I see them. I'm way too small. I see myself that way. That's the way. And dad and pastor helped me get out of that mindset to get my mind renewed so I can move forward. I cannot move forward in the things that God has for me. Amen. But because of the impartation that I received from them and the word that I hear. Amen every time. Because the thing is, I prayed for my pastor. We prayed for them. Glory. I prayed for them. So the utterance that God will give to them, I will seek it out in my spirit. And whatever they have, it will become mine. And I will see more how your faith will flourish. And the Lord started to put in my heart and all the way to this meeting about teach my people to receive light on the life I have given them. Amen. They will not be able to walk in the life I have or the plan that I have for them without revelation. And pastor Nancy gave us great detail last night. She's not done with it yet. How to receive that revelation now. Praise God. I remember we were in. We were. We were in Wichita, Kansas. Dad was ministering there. And I have a friend of mine, minister that traveled with us at that time. So we are. We were roommates. And we decided we're going to pray for dad because he's going to minister tonight. So we did. We did. We prayed and we just prayed for what he has to, you know, utterance the way we know how. And then we got into the spirit. And I learned when you're in the spirit, it's like God is taking you to his throne. Like what he said, come boldly into the throne of grace. It seems like it's amazing that there's no distance in time. In the Spirit, he will take you to the very throne wherein you can hear from him. You're on the earth, but you're in the very throne of God. And you cannot come boldly without revelation. He has to give you revelation. But anyway, so we're praying in the spirit. And then come this revelation, he said, Isaiah 60 is coming to pass. I keep saying that by the spirit. And me and my friend minister were hearing what God did. The Holy Ghost was saying, that's revelation. That's when I learned how to pray in the spirit to bring in the Holy Ghost will bring me to that place of revelation. It's not trying to get it, you know what I'm saying? Because it is the Holy Ghost inspired, right? He will bring it the mangre to the deeper things of God, the mind of God. So I know Isaiah 60 is coming to pass and I know we talk talks about the glory there, but there's one verse there in that beginning of that chapter. Arise, arise, shine for thy light. Those three words are pretty much the same. It's revelation. Arise, shine, for thy light has come. Thy light has come. And he said, and the glory. But the glory will not come until we do. We do the three things. So now after that, we've been praying in our prayer life up to today, the glory of God. Every time we pray for anything, we will end up uttering the glory. The glory of God. And I just knew, and you know, pastors talk about the things that the church needed and they don't have anything. I just know it's coming. We just, we prayed it out before even the need arises. I'm not bragging about it, but in the Bible said it's good for us to say, my God shall supply all our needs according to his riches in glory. Sometimes we just say it in our head. But I'm telling you, when the glory is rich, there's the supply. But the glory will not come without revelation, without we see the light of the Word. So I started seeing these things about the things that's coming in the Word and we prayed it out. The Holy Ghost cannot manifest that word in our natural life because it's not that God will give you light in your spirit. He will make sure that that light you're receiving in your spirit will see it in the natural, in your life. The light is not just in you. The light is also in your natural life. You will see it in your life happening. And we have so many revelation word that we have received over the years, but we haven't seen manifestation of the Word that we have received. We have so much revelation, we have so much great men and women of God that can minister. But we see people, their life never changed because they never see the light of what was preached to them. They never see the revelation in their spirit. It will not take place in the natural until we see it in our spirit and we speak it out. Amen. Praise the Lord.

Hallelujah.

B
Hunger doesn't come by just seeing things. The Holy Ghost will put it in your heart. Amen. The hunger for miracles, we got to see it in our spirit. Amen. And I began to pray about that. And up to now we see there's more to come. And I'm seeing it in our own life in the natural is overwhelming what God is doing. Because as we See it now. It's like what the Bible said is accelerating. It will not accelerate. Accelerate in your life in the natural. Until the revelation. Accelerate in your spirit. We are in that time now. In the natural. Things are accelerating. Knowledge is accelerating in the natural. I believe Daniel heard that from God. And even your phone, if you have an iPhone. I didn't know how much iPhone we have now. The numbers iPhone 1, 2, 3. I don't know now. What is that? 14. That's natural knowledge. Didn't you know that? They already know that. They just keep adding it every year to make money. Didn't you know the future Holy Ghost already know. He will show you things to come. Show. What is show? Revelation. Praise the Lord. We're not supposed to be afraid of the future. The future is already set by God. We just need to have revelation of what belongs to us. Amen. And it's not. And the Bible is teaching us. Amen. We're doing it. It's not just continued doing it. That's why it's not effective. Amen. Praise God. I learned from all these men of God in the Old Testament, in the New Testament. I like Elijah went to that cave. Remember? He ran away, man. He can run long distance. He's a marathon guy. He always running. When fear got on him, he ran. When the anointing got, he always run. Sometimes in the wrong direction, but he ran. But anyway, God has to bring him back. And he went to that cave. And there was a move of God. A move of God. Amen. There was wind. Is that right? There was earthquake. He can feel all these things. It was a great move, but no revelation. He waited until a still, small voice. That is not spectacular. See, many of us can. We can. The anointing will be so strong. And we start running. We roll on the floor with joy. All of those will have to bring you to revelation. You understand me? Now you can roll on the floor, but without revelation. Thank God for the rolling. Amen. Sister Cindy, there is more that God has for you. There's more, there's more. Amen. And God will give it to you, if you're interested. You have to forget the past. You know what a past is. All the things that we did, we make it our own thinking. Thinking it was God. Do you know Paul, right? Pastor, we know about Paul. I have to forget the passage. He listed everything. All his accomplishments. Everything that we accomplish without the Holy Ghost is just creating a past. Because it's not the will of God. It's not the will of God. Don't feel sorry about what happened in the past if it's not from God, because it's not eternal. It's just a past. Amen.
- [18:11]
C
Hallelujah.
- [18:12]
B
There's fear in it, there's discouragement in it. There's no joy in it. There's no peace in it. We just keep doing it because we don't have a revelation of what really the plan of God for our life. Because we pray in the Holy Ghost in Jesus name. Amen. I go into sleep. I started reading the word about prayer. And there's no casual on has to be fervent. It has to be continued. It says always. It is a lifestyle. It become part of your heart. It become every day.
- [18:52]
C
Hallelujah.
- [18:54]
B
And there are things just like iPhone 14. The Holy Ghost will tell you one, but he will not give you the whole deal. And I've seen it. Adam and Eve miss it. They were perfect. They were created perfect. They have no sin in their life. They don't have to renew their mind. They don't have to have the struggle we have. They live in the garden. They don't have to work for a living. They don't have to say, I'm busy. They were perfect man made in the image and likeness of God. But I saw there that they didn't know everything. It takes eternal life for them to receive what God already have prepared for them before the world was. When Jesus said it is finished, I thought it just finished. But Hebrews said it was finished before the foundation of the world. It was prepared. But they don't have the revelation. And the devil took advantage of their ignorance. No revelation of the authority that God has given to them? No the authority and the dominion that God has given to them. He went there and took advantage and lied to them to get that revelation. I'm telling you, without revelation we are nothing. If those two, which is their condition is very much prepared by God for them. But I saw something there that God will come into that place in fellowship with them. I believe. I believe. Amen. I believe that when he comes, you know there is a place seems like in the garden because he's looking for them. It seems like there are. There is a certain place in that garden that God will meet with them. And what do you think? They just look at each other. God is a God of revelation. I believe he'll give them revelation. Okay, I'll see you later. There's more to come. But it was too late. But I believe it is not only Adam. Adam was there next to him. He didn't do anything because he doesn't have a revelation what to do. I believe. Amen. Praise God.
- [21:18]
C
Hallelujah.
- [21:20]
B
So let's go to the Word a little bit here and we'll see what God said. Let me begin in First John. I like John, you know, the First John and apostles of John. He always say the word in the beginning. And here is the same First John. Are you there? First John. And John was the last apostle. The twelve. Twelve of them. You know, if you look at the Scripture, when God choose those 12, he prayed all night to get that revelation. He got the light, even Judas. Amen. Judas saw miracles, ministered to people with the impartation he received from the Lord Jesus Christ. And you be around that kind of man. God, impartation by the Spirit was chosen by God. He was chosen in the plan of God. He has to be replaced before the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That position was vacant. The will of God was vacant because of what he did. This man got an impartation of authority. Amen. And they went. They were. They were sent two by two. I don't know who his partner is. He was there. He experienced everything. But yet he still denied the Lord Jesus Christ. Because I believe he didn't continue living with the revelation that was given to them. They got nothing. They ran away without revelation. Amen. But look at this. Look at this. Praise the Lord. First John. First John. Are you there? First John? When you see Two John, you're just next to it. I'm just teaching. Okay, now look at this. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, because they sinned with natural eyes, right? Which we have looked upon in our hands and handled of the word of life. They didn't know what they have until they got revelation of who he is. For the life was manifested and we have seen it and bear witness and show unto you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested unto us. Praise the Lord. So everything that God has said in the Word will manifest unto us the same way it might manifest in the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what we have seen and heard, declare we unto you, that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. So that's fellowship, right? And these things write we unto you that your joy may be full. This then is the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you that God is what light. God is revelation. Amen. God is light. Now look at this. It said here and in him is no darkness at all. There is no question. This is not a place where you say, don't know what to do. You have light through fellowship. We're gonna look at this. We cannot fellowship with God not having revelation. We have to have the light and he is not, you know, keeping it from us. Now look at this. It says here, if we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness. If we say we have fellowship. Well, I just been in the presence of God now. What you got? I pray in the Holy Ghost for an hour. What you got? I went to church last Sunday. What you got? I have fellowship with my brother sister. Fellowship with God. What you got? What did you get? Do you have light or you're still in the dark? That's what he said here. If we come into the meeting and we leave this meeting without the Holy Ghost revealing to us in our spirit. Praise God. Amen.
- [26:09]
C
Hallelujah.
- [26:09]
B
That's what he said. Meaning to say, you cannot be in the presence of God and leave that place in the dark. I learned something. When I face an issue, I always the Holy Ghost, you already know the end of this. Because in the natural, it seems like it's getting darker and darker. You already know. And what you know, I will know. Like pastor said, I pray in the spirit. I may not see the result, but I'm longing for that revelation. If he said to me, everything will be all right, everything will be all right. Amen.
- [26:58]
C
Hallelujah.
- [26:59]
B
If we say verse six, if we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie. We lie and do not. The truth. Truth is revelation. But if we walk in the revelation, if we walk in the Holy Ghost speaking to us, the plan of God, the purpose and the pursuit of it. Amen.
- [27:33]
C
Hallelujah.
- [27:34]
B
We have fellowship with one another. We just don't fellowship in prayer and just pray for just the need. We need to have revelation. The answer to the need is what God will say me in that. My dear friend, Minister, brother, God has given us revelation at that day. Isaiah 60 is coming to pass up to now. I still get revelation of Isaiah 60. And now I got it. The Holy Ghost, the glory and what we call revival cannot be sustained with the cloud. There has to be a revelation, Glory. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another. And the blood, the blood of Jesus, his son, cleanses us from all sin. What is sin? Living in the dark. We know sin naturally. You know flesh, we know all this. But I believe the sin here is lack of prayerlessness. The sin of prayerlessness, the sin of not fellowshipping with God. Because if we don't fellowship with God, there's no way. Jose, if that's your name, we cannot have the light that he has. Praise the Lord.
- [29:11]
C
Hallelujah.
- [29:13]
B
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. This is a good correction for all of us. We stay in the presence of God in your car, wherever you are. Amen. Make your own garden with God where he meets you. Pastor said, I get into my car and God will speak to me. That's light. That's God. Thank God for the Holy Ghost. He'll visit you in your car, visit you wherever you are. He'll visit you. A lot of times he visit me in our kitchen before I wash the dishes or something. But my wife likes washing the dishes. From time to time, I help her. Right, Mom? Yeah. Praise the Lord. Yeah. Praise God. Amen. I remember one time, because pastors, pastors life in ministry, you can see transition. There's God connecting Brother Copeland, all these things. I don't hear all these things, but pastor does. But I have the right to know things. Not everything that God has said because I'm praying for her. So I was thinking, I mean, praise God, all these men of God, there's a transition. I can see things happening. And if you're not careful, if you are in the dark, what's going on with the life of our pastor and you are not in the light of it, you better pray in the Holy Ghost so you can see it. Because he revealed it to me. I mean, transition man that never seen minister here before, you know, I'm saying a caliber of this, it's a miracle. It's a miracle to put all those men together in a local church. Praise the Lord.
- [31:12]
C
Hallelujah.
- [31:15]
B
And you know what? God, he just gave me one word. He said, son, honor all men. I got it. I mean, deep got in my spirit. Revelation came. I'm not in the dark anymore while all these men come. Now I know what he was saying. Honor all men. Because my prayer life that he put in my spirit, he put that to honor all men. He will put men in my spirit. I'm just so thankful that I can be able to pray for this man. They might not know me, but I honor them in my prayer life. Like that woman with Pastor J. She honors that man of God by giving him a room. I don't know how long she's been passed. He's been passing there until she saw something. Amen. I'll pray and I will. Glory be to God.
- [32:16]
C
Hallelujah.
- [32:17]
B
Amen. He said to me one time, you pray. You pray for them, and I will give them utterance. Amen. Praise God. To hear God. From that you can see my God. Lord, you honor my prayer, but it was the. It's the Holy Ghost that giving me. You cannot honor anybody without revelation. That woman. I mean, he's been passing there until one day he perceived. Isn't that what the word said, Pastor? He perceived. He has revelation. He has light. He perceived. He acted on what she perceived, and it brought revelation. It brought blessing. You cannot just hold those men with that caliber. You cannot just come on, stay in my home. No, I believe Elisha has the same thing. What she perceived, he perceived. And we called it honor. You cannot honor something you don't know. You got to have revelation. He pursued. So you can see all over the scripture, our prayer life. Amen. When Moses met God in that burning bush, I don't know how long that bush is burning. If it burns here, up there in the mountain, in La Cresta, man, you can hear all the fire department coming know. Thank God, you know what I'm saying? But he started moving towards the direction because we learned it, that God will not push himself to you. Yes. Amen.
- [34:04]
C
Hallelujah.
- [34:06]
B
So you got to know what pleases him, right? So that's for me, that's prayer, fellowship. Most didn't know him. This is the man that wrote the first five books of the Bible. He didn't know Adam from Adam. Think about the revelation God has given to this man. We're not gonna know Noah. We're not gonna know about the blood. We're not gonna know about the creation without Moses. 40 days and 40 nights without food, without sleep, without drink. But God kept him. And revelation just poured out. And he can, because he's the only one that is educated. Because he was not a slave. His life is 40 years, that back desert, you know, taking care of the sheep he doesn't own until his life was changed when he met God in that place. But now we don't need the burning bush. We don't need that anymore. Amen. To meet with God, all we have to do is. You can come boldly in the throne of God with the light of that prayer. With who Glory. This is fellowship, folks. This is fellowship. Hallelujah. What pastor was saying to us, quiet your mind. Quiet your mind. Because if you follow what your mind Is telling you you're creating a what a pass. Because it's not eternal. Not eternal. Do you think me and my wife has a choice to go back to San Diego, live there and leave this place? We can't unless it tells us to do so. We can go there and buy a house there. Live there. But we just living in the past. We never thought we're going to live in the place we're living now. But God has to. You know the house we're living in. You know who? God. The Holy Ghost. Started giving that light to our pastor before we did. We never prayed for a home like that. We just keep going with what we know. Amen. Praise the lord.
- [37:11]
C
Hallelujah.
- [37:11]
B
Glory be to God. I'm hearing Reverend Joel and Pastor Amy bought that home. He'll sell. God will take care of it. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Father. Now that's precept and example. That's light. See, he just didn't minister to my spirit. Minister to them. If it's just me not in them, it's not going to come to pass in their life. Until then. Amen.
- [38:21]
C
Hallelujah.
- [38:23]
B
But I have to have boldness to say it. But I have boldness because I hear it. Praise the Lord. Look at this dude. In the natural I can say like Paul said, I am the least. You know. We just don't know how appreciate I am for the light God's given to us. I live in that light. I will make it in life. I'm not a gold guy, you know gold. I don't have that. I cannot make my own decision. I cannot. You can ask. I have to be in the spirit all the time and let God the Holy Ghost speak to me. I thank God that all the weakness I have God put his strength on it. Amen. The devil said your English not even good. And I like when Dr. Whiskey having me preach doctor said to Pastor I cannot understand what he's saying and right, Pastor. And then in the long run, it's getting better. I studied Pastor said no, it's the same. It's just you get used to him. Now. I'm telling you, you if you don't fellowship with. If I don't fellowship with God, it will scare you to get up in this pulpit. But I tell you, we're not in bondage to fear anymore. It's the Bible. Amen. Fellowship, fellowship, fellowship. He'll teach you how to walk in love. Because here you can see chapter two. We just don't have much time. But I'm telling you if you hate your brother, you're in darkness. So you have to make adjustment in your mind every day. Every day. I mean your feeling, your emotion. I said, do I exchange it for the light that will come gave to me for the revelation, for the fellowship I had? Will I exchange as being. Being moody or something, upset with any. I got to renew my mind every single day, you know? Every single day. You're the only one knew. Well, you can smile somebody and hate that person in your thinking. You got to. Yeah, you got to. Praise the Lord.
- [41:06]
C
Hallelujah.
- [41:08]
B
And the only way I can do is pray for them. Get me out of that darkness. Right. Praise the Lord. Thank God for prayer, learning how to pray by the Holy Ghost. Amen.
- [41:24]
C
Hallelujah.
- [41:25]
B
Amen. Praise the Lord. Oh, glory be to God. Amen. So we can see here. Praise God. Now let me show you something here in chapter two. We're already here anyway. Verse nine. Let's look at that. He that said he is in the light and hateth his brother is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light. And there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hated his brother is in darkness and walketh in darkness and knoweth not whether he goeth because that darkness had blinded his eyes. He's not talking about natural darkness. Your spirit has no revelation.
- [42:16]
C
Hallelujah.
- [42:18]
B
Now praise God. In verse 13, I write unto you fathers because you have known him, that is from the beginning. I write unto you young men because you have overcome the wicked one. Overcome with what? Revelation. The gates of hell cannot prevail against it. That revelation become authority. There is no authority of the believer without God revealing his Word. Word to us. Amen. Revelation. Right. That's what God that that I will build my church to. That revelation knowledge. He'll build, build, build, build, not destroyed. And if our faith is flourishing this year, in the years to come, there will be a flood of revelation. And one way to receive revelation is fellowship. Right. And your fellowship with God. Amen. God can show you what the devil is doing and you just stop him. Amen. If you don't know what to do he's doing. Because like Job, he doesn't know he has a hedge of protection. The devil can see it because he's a spirit. He's saying things in the spirit. He cannot touch Job because God put a hedge of protection. We can call it. We are kept by the power of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Amen. If only he knew, he could not be afraid. Amen praise God. He almost got destroyed. I thank God that God intervened for him. He told the devil, he opened the door, told the devil just you cannot touch his life. And you know what happened to Job? He kept his covenant with God. He kept whatever light he has with all the darkness all around him. Him even whose wife said, curse God, there is no light around him. But he kept what he knows. And when he prayed for his friend, God gave him double. He didn't try to give anything double. God just make people avenues began to happen. He became very rich again, probably richer double, you know, richer than what the devil took away from him because he kept the light. Whatever he has, don't give up. Just stay with what you know. Stay with that revelation that God has for you. And if you stay, it'll expand your life. It'll keep your life moving on. The Holy Ghost is a moving spirit, but he moves in the light. He moves by revelation. When God revealing to you, you better know it. Your life will forever change with the revelation he give you. He'll give you the light when you're praying. And that same life you receive, he will take your life with the light you have in your spirit. And in your natural light. People will see light because people cannot see what's the light in you. But they see the effect of that light life, that revelation in your own life. And I said, lord, I thank you. One day I was thanking God, father, I thank you for my house you have given us. I thank you for everything. Always we learn about thankfulness. Lord, I thank you. And I know he knows that I was thanking him for the natural things he has given me. Then he said to him, son, I am your wealthy place. Not this stuff. I am. I know what he means. Fellowship with everything you have, I'm still your wealthy place. When you get into my spirit, I mean, there's nothing on this earth because all things were made by Him. My God.

That's pretty good word. And sometimes I got an attitude problem, you know. You know, it looks like you wake up with a good hair day, you know. And I go to church, I cannot even lift up my hands. I love lifting my hands because the light of the word said lifting holy hands without wrath or what? Okay, I stay with that. Thank God for brother Ellis telling us to lift our hands. Yeah, Brother David, praise God, right? Because it's light words. It. It's light. How many times I lift up my hands and I got an attitude problem one time. And I cannot worship God. And the Holy Ghost said, To me, your issue. What has it got to do with me? You got to learn to separate what you are feeling. I deserve my praise. In my worship, you lift up that hand because I deserve it. When you have a revelation like that, lifting up hands is not hard. I got it by revelation. So he's not just lifting it up. I'm lifting it up by revelation. God spoke that to my spirit. What has got to do with me? I know sometimes you come to church, you don't feel like worshiping God. What's it got to do with Him? You just quiet your mind and worship him. Oh my God.

Jesus walked in the light. Not everybody are pleased about him. Let me show you something. And John, chapter 11. You see that? John, chapter 11. I'm excited about the Word. I'm excited about this year. Oh my God. There will be knowledge. We never. You know, I'm saying the same word until I got it. Like Doc pastor was saying, man, I've read this word for a long time. I got something. I've never seen that before. That's revelation. Right now, here, remember? He prayed for Lazarus. Now look at this. I'm gonna read it in the amplified. Now, a certain man named Lazarus was ill. He was of Bethany, the village where Mary and her sister Martha lived. This Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair. Lord Jesus, I can anoint your feet, I cannot wipe it with my hair. God. Amen. Not yet believe. Praise God. It was her brother Lazarus who was now sick. So the sister sent to him, saying, lord, he whom you love so well is sick. When Jesus received the message, he said, the sickness is not right away. He got revelation. The sickness is not to end in debt, but on the contrary, it is to honor God and to promote his glory that the Son of God may be glorified through by it. Now, Jesus loved Martha and her sister. Thank God they have fellowship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus loved Martha and he's the same yesterday, today and forever now. Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. They were his two dear friends and he held them in loving esteem. Therefore, even when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he still stayed two days longer in the same place where he was then. After that interval, he said to his disciple, let us go back again to Judea. Now we know our Lord Jesus Christ doesn't walk without revelation. Everything he does in three years at least, he did it with hearing, with the spirit of seeing and knowing. He lived by revelation. And he said to Us, the things that I did, you shall do also. He was not talking about, of course he saw miracles, but the way he gave us the ability to know and to see by the spirit. Amen.

After that interval, said, let us go back to Judea. The disciples said to him, rabbi, the Jews only recently were intending and trying to stone you. It's a death. What do you call that? Death threat. And it's not just a threat. They want to kill him. You and I stone you. And are you thinking of going back there again? Jesus answered, are they not 12 hours in the day? Now, what he was saying here is Revelation. It's not just day. He's just using that day where he said, let there be light. And there was light. He was saying to them, anyone who walks about in the daytime does not stumble. Remember, he spent two days to see and to know what God has to say. Now he's ready. He got a word from the Father. He got the light. Amen.

And anyone who walks about in the daytime does not stumble because he see by the light of this world. But if anyone walks about in the night, he does stumble. Darkness. What is night? It's darkness. Not knowing what to do, they just went because there's an emergency call, right? Amen. He said, here, because there is no light in him. The light is lacking to him. He said these things. Amen. These things. And then added, our friend Lazarus is at rest and sleeping, but I'm going there that I may awaken him out of sleep. The disciples answered, lord, if he is sleeping, he will recover. However, Jesus has spoken of his death, but they thought that he referred to falling into refreshing and natural sleep. So then Jesus told him plainly, lazarus is dead, dead meat. Now he said, here, and for your sake, I am glad that I was not there. It will help you to believe, to trust and rely on me. However, let us go to him. Then Thomas, who was called the twin, said to his fellow disciples, right, let us go too, that we may die because they know he will be killed. And let us be killed too with him. Well, he wants to be a hero. Let's go be a hero with Jesus. They are walking in the dark. They don't know. But Jesus knew. He has the light because he has fellowship with the Father. And he is teaching us. John is teaching us. What they saw Jesus, how Jesus lived, how he lived. They were the witness. How Jesus will pray, even especially John. He was in always three of them, Peter and James. They say all kinds of things that the other Disciples didn't see. They saw that when Jesus prayed to the Father, something happened always he will not leave that place of fellowship with his Heavenly Father not knowing anything. And the miracle began to happen. He sees it. He said, I saw what my Father do. He sees it. Amen. And he got that Holy Ghost. He gave it to us. The Holy Ghost that helped him see things. The Holy Ghost that helps know things. He gave that Holy Ghost to us. And that Holy Ghost will live with us forever. And one of the access that the Holy Ghost to get the Holy Ghost revelation. Now look at this. Amen.

And you know what happened? He raised up Jesus. The resurrection anointing power was on him. Amen. It was on him. Nobody can perceive it. But he knows it was on him that day to resurrect Lazarus. And he went to the Father. Father, I thank you that you hear me always in that two days he heard from the Father. Fellowship with the Father. Have you noticed nobody was able to touch him on the way there. Darkness cannot touch those that are in the light.
