Hi, I'm Nancy Dufresne. Welcome to our podcast channel. We know you'll be blessed by today's message. You know, yesterday I made mention about fellowshipping with God through the Word. And he will say to me, he will, you know, reveal to me the written word, speak to my spirit. And he said, son, get up and dance. That's what it is. Because faith is your victory. And faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. And he said, get up. Get up and dance. He's teaching me how to yield to victory, because what I heard is my victory. Oh, my God. And I get up and dance in my private time. You know, I just get up and dance. And the anointing on the Word he gave me, wow, it set me for life. It set my life in motion. Hallelujah. I just. That's what it is. Victory is mine. And the more you yield, the more you hear. And he will say to me, brother, listen now, sit down. So I sit down again, and he will speak to me the victory, the word of faith. Amen. As faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word. And now, son, get up and dance. So I get up and, you know, receive my victim. That's what's happening this morning. Amen. Well, you might say. Well, I didn't hear. You will hear. I mean, Sister Cindy got the Word from God, right? And psalms, hymns, songs, whatever it may be, and she'll speak it out. That's our victory. And we're responding. Yeah, that's how it is. It's part of your prayer life. That's how the Word will get into your spirit. All this that we're singing here. Well, I don't know how to sing. Sometimes I sing by myself with the Lord. I guess he has a filter, you know? Amen. But sometimes I don't dance. I just fellowship with God. And then he will speak the Word to me in prayer. And many times I don't ask for things. I just say, father, I set myself to just worship you. And I take time to worship him, giving him thanks. And he will speak the word to me. Enjoy. I mean, you're inside the spirit of faith, in your inside will. I mean, you can see the workings of the Holy Ghost in your spirit. And joy will start to flow. Yes, Lord, I can still. I have to do something. Yeah. And that joy will flow. That's still your victory. Do it every day. Did it today, all the time. Amen. Hallelujah. So when I face things today, I learn how to turn my mind to my spirit. And that's amen. And I will hear the word of God. I'm not preaching. I'm just being alone with God. And hop into my vehicle, because when I'm driving, I cannot get up and dance. I'm stick on that. But sometimes I get off the road, you know, because the power of God. I mean, I gotta hold on to that steering wheel. Because the power of God with regards to the Word, he said. And I respond, I receive it, Lord. I receive it, Lord. It's my Lord. I receive the word. Hallelujah. I receive it. Oh, my God. Hallelujah. It's your prayer life. Amen. Hallelujah. Well, praise the Lord. Amen. Yeah. Yeah. If you keep saying victory is mine, he'll give you the word of victory, the word of faith. Oh, my God. Hallelujah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't care how situation are complicated. One word, one word is your victory. One word, one word. Hallelujah. I learned that from Jesus. When he was tempted, right? He felt. He doesn't feel anointing. It seems like he felt he was hungry, right? But he learned how to separate the voice of his body and the voice of the Father. And right away, he said, man shall not live by bread alone. He heard that from the Father, right? Despite of the, you know, a voice of his body. And he answered the devil, you know, the devil didn't, you know, tempt him again with that word at the time, right? Because the Father said, it's his victory. Three times he was tempted, suicide, whatever it is. But the Father always speaks to his spirit, right? He learned. Amen. He learned. He didn't feel the knowing things. Seems like because he felt that, boys, he was hungry. Are you hungry? Right in the midst. But I noticed he cannot repeat the temptation, that temptation. So he has to do another thing. And everything, he does something. The victory that the Father gave to him, the Word, it stopped the temptation. So he has to do something else. But he always have the answer from the Father, right? And when he. If some of you been in some situations for a long time, pressure for a long time, all we need is what the Father will say and he will stop it. He'll stop the pressure. Amen. Hallelujah. If he tries to come back, what? And that's what. Amen. You can all be seated. Thank you so much. Hallelujah. Thank you so much, sis. Praise the Lord. It's part of your prayer life. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah. That's our victory. Amen. Praise the Lord. But anyway, praise God. And as we learned you know, being in the will of God is not only for you, but for many. And I remember even reading in the Old Testament, you know, Samuel. Well, Samuel, not Samuel Adams, you know, I heard. I don't drink. I seen that on tv, right? Samuel with Jesus, you know, not Adam. But anyway, one of the greatest prophets ever lived in the Old Testament. But we didn't know. We didn't pay attention much on his mother. His mother prayed. His mother cannot have a baby. Remember that story? Amen. She prayed. That's the plan of God for her life. To give birth to Samuel. Samuel anointed at least two Kings. We know Saul and David. We know Samuel much, but not much paying attention if we're not careful to the one that prayed. Amen. She prayed fervently to have a baby. Because in the natural she can't, right? But you know, it's unselfish prayer. She said, lord, give me a child, son, and I will give him to you. Amen. Remember that. Unselfish prayer. Unselfish prayer. And praise God. All these men of God and women of God. I'm amazed with them because. And we talk about Rahab, because Rahab is one of great example. Because she's not a Jew. But she heard for many years. She knows. She knows that their city will be turned over to the Jew. She knows it. She knows. And she told the spies that she believed on their God. She released her faith, remember studying? And her household was saved. Because the plan is to kill all of them, take all their belongings, burn everything. But they're not believers in the natural. But she believed. And all her household got the privilege. Now, you may say Rahab got connected with you. Not only her family, her brother, sister, all her relatives that connected to her. What? Thank God that they're connected to a woman of God. Amen. That has faith. One save all her household, we didn't see much of her. But you know, Amen. It's amazing how they suck on mohoye. And you can read it in the Old Testament, like Gideon. I mean, he said, my clan is the weakest of all, and I'm the weakest of my clan. And God picked him and imparted to him. Strength imparted to him. Grace imparted to him. Amen. Remember that? Hallelujah. God just imparted. See, the thing is, there's no man of God imparted to him. Nobody at the time of Gideon. So God himself came imparted, you know, fellowship. See, when you encounter God, that's prayer. And God himself imparted his strength, right? His ability to Gideon. And he became, I mean, a mighty man of valor. Saved the whole nation, the weakest of all, the weakest link. Amen. And I'm telling you, I could say myself, like Paul said, I'm the least to stand in this pulpit. I'm so thankful, and I'm so thankful for my pastor and doctor and many others, but they're our primary, primary voice into our lives. See, God taught me about short circuiting, the anointing. That's why he told me, stay with your spiritual father. Never connect yourself to somebody that is not. This is just me talking to me in prayer. I have a clear, not only wisdom, but understanding of what God is saying. He said, son, don't connect yourself to somebody that's not connected to your spiritual father. It's not that others are. There's great other men and women of God that are. I mean, they're good ministers. But God said, do not connect yourself. And many, many will know. You got to know, like, you know, Pastor Craig about talking about a woman that with a woman got connected with a man of God. She may not have the Word, but the man of God received from God the word of God. And really the Word is the one. Keep bringing that supply naturally. Because remember, feed me first. Because God said right until the rain came. What I'm saying is she got connected to the plan of God. See, the plan of God was in Elijah's heart. It was given to Elijah. And God has to protect Elijah. God what, whatever he needs to do. He has to keep Elijah because he holds the plant. He holds his plan. Because if Elijah died, there will be no rain. Maybe I believe, up to today, right? Hallelujah. And we know Elijah was the one that was used by James about his fervency in prayer, right? You can see the fervent prayer of a righteous man. And I don't know why they added the word Tisbite might be just really an ordinary man. Do you know, Brother Joel, because you know, some history, you know where tisbite is? Is that word tishbite. Oh, okay, okay. Is that close to Israel? I don't know. No, nothing at all. But it, like, is a significant human being, it seems like. But he heard from God. Wow. Praise the Lord, right? He heard from God, and God gave in his spirit, the plan, the word, right? Amen. But he still have to pray the word, right? He still have to pray. So today, I mean, we don't like the word. I mean, you know, ipod or those pad or Whatever it may be. I mean, we can. We can get into the Word. Why is not getting into the congregation sometimes and their life. Some will get it. Some, a lot of them will not. It's because of lack of prayer. We got to pray the word. We got to pray what God said. Amen. And then that's why I believe it will change. It will change. It will change. This prayer conference is teaching us. God is teaching us to pray. It's not just your pastor prayer or your brothers sisters, but you learn how to pray so that. Amen. Praise God forevermore. God taught me to pray those efficient prayers to my children. And he said, son, if you don't pray for them, they will not stand a chance. Wow. I said, yes, Lord. So me and my wife, I told my wife about it and we prayed for them. He said, let me work on those prayers. He said, let me work on those prayers. He said, again, let me work on those prayers. I mean, praise God. It becomes fervent for us to pray that. Because, you know, you pray that over and over, it'll get into your spirit. Because the Word is an eternal word. Amen. I kind of memorize it now. Not because I'm smart, but, you know, I don't pray that from my head. I pray that on my. From my spirit. Since not to pray for you. Paul said, amen. God promised. Paul has revelation. But why is not getting to our spirit? Because lack of prayer, prayerlessness is one of the sin that the body of Christ. Lack of prayer is causing the Word not to get into our spirit. Amen. Praise God. You know how I heard about that? I traveled with dad for dad, the friend for many years. I heard that in my prayer time, 2002. I still remember. Amen. I was praying. I'm just praying for the meaning, the word. And you know, when you get into the spirit, what you think you're praying about? Just to hear from God. There's more. How do you know that? It happened to Peter, right? Jesus said, who do you think I am? Because other men said they're all guessing who he is. They don't have revelation. So the question remained. So he asked his disciples, maybe somebody got something. Amen. And Peter got it right. And you are the Christ, the son of the living God. It's rare at the time, it's rare that revelation be given to a man to know who the Lord Jesus Christ is. So he said, peter, you know, my father gave that to you. My father, My father. He said, my Father, who is the key? The key. The key. To revelation of who we are in Christ. The Father will speak. The Father will speak. Amen. Now notice. Do I need to listen to just the Father now? No, he will give it to your pastor. Because after that revelation continue. Remember, but this time Peter just didn't receive it from the Father. He received. Jesus received it from the Father. And now he's telling them what will happen to him. Remember that. Amen. Right. It's now Jesus continued on that revelation and he singled out Peter. He was talking to Peter. Upon this rock, I will build my church. You know, unless the Lord builds the house. So we learn one of the scripture. How he builds us or mature us is the revelation of who we are in Christ. But it's all come from the Father. But this time it's a man of God named Jesus. At the time continue on to receive from the Father what will happen to him. And no, he and Peter, this same Peter that received from God, now he's listening to the devil. He didn't recognize that the continuity of what he heard from the Father so that they can have more understanding. I don't know if they all hearing it, but he was talking to Peter. He didn't talk to anybody. On his disciples, he singled out the one that heard from God. So if we hear from God, I mean he'll come and fellowship with you. He'll bring you more understanding. Praise God. Amen. But this time, so you can hear from God during your fellowship with God. And he will impart that revelation to you. And you go to church and here comes your pastor. You pray the utterance for your pastor or whoever will be ministering in the pulpit. Amen. Praise God. Right? And that's the honor. Because God told me your prayer life. That's bringing your honor to all these men, women of God. Amen. Praise God. Oh, praise God. Because my pastor heard to have all this man. How do you know your pastor? Because I prayed for my pastor. I didn't question, oh, my pastor make a mistake. That devil will try to do that to you. But I prayed for my pastor. I prayed for our church. I said, father, your leadership flow through my pastor. I pray, Father, that your wisdom will flow to my. To my pastor. Amen. Hallelujah. So whomever pastor will bring to this pulpit, you might not see them before that. Now you're seeing them. I believe that's from the Holy Ghost. Yeah. I will not question it because I'm praying and I know God heard my prayer because I prayed it according to the word. Amen. Praise the Lord. You Know brother Copeland, I mean for many years now coming here, I said, father, I'm so thankful. I may not know him personally, he probably doesn't know this good looking guy. But I'm saying, father, I'm so honored to pray for this man. Some if we're not careful, we always looking for the mistake of men of God, woman of God. Amen. So I said, lord, I'm so honored to pray. He said to me, son, amen. Pray for him for utterance. I will give him utterance. I will give him the correct utterance. Praise God forevermore. Amen. So what I'm saying is praise God. You know, I've seen it in the Old Testament that you cannot know the plan of God without prayer. You can't. You might say, well, I'm just a housewife or whatever, but yet you didn't know that one of your children will be use of God mightily. Now we know dad Hagin, let's go. Now fast forward to whom we really know. One example is dad Hagin, right? We may not know. I don't know if some of you heard about his mother. Remember he died because of that sickness. He went to hell. Remember his story, Amazing story. I believe in vision, details. He went to hell, remember, he's already in hell, right? But he heard a voice, Remember Dad Hagin said, I don't know what that voice said. He doesn't even sure if it's Jesus, but he knows it's Jesus or whatever. And the devil, right? That devil, ugly devil. But he was so focused on the fire of hell, he's already in hell. It's resurrection power. Raise him up from that place. But we can see and focus on that devil. Take his hands off of him and he will ascend back to earth. But there was an account that his mother was praying from the top of her voice. You know, I don't know what she prayed, but I believe she was inspired by the Holy Ghost because she knows something about her son. Because she encountered one time in the story that God spoke to her, probably audible boys, she got scared because she never experienced it. About the future of her son. You can tell there's no way, Jose, if that's your. Amen. Have you noticed that? Now notice here. And dad Hagin went up, right? So said, you know, I belong to the church. Ineffective prayer. He prayed, but it's ineffective. It's not in line with the will of God. The first time he got back to his body, it's not because of his prayer. It's the prayer of his mother. And he died again. Remember that? Twice he prayed the same thing. Ineffective prayer. He prayed, but it's ineffective until the third time. But the one that's effective is the prayer of his mother. Thank God for somebody that prayed. And dad Hagin. If his mother didn't pray an effective prayer, he's in hell. We talk about dad Hagen and his accomplishment. We didn't talk much about his mother. She is just like Hannah. So don't tell me that you're just a housewife praying for your children. The plan of God. Well, that's just that again. How about Dr. Sumrall, His mama? We never heard that she preached the word. She's just a mother praying for his son. For her son. And death and life, you know. Choose life, you know and. Exactly. God did that to Dr. Strombrook. He still had to make a choice. But his mother made power available. That captain showed up. Remember his story. It doesn't come from him because he hate the church. He is not praying. The one that prays for that choice that he was given a choice. He has his. And he doesn't have a chance. Dad Hagin doesn't have a chance. But somebody was praying. Somebody was praying. Amen. Amen. That's why that coffin and that Bible. Big. It's a big. I mean life size, right? Jews. He's dying. He only got a few hours to live and he's going to hell. Think about it. I mean, we can go on and on. Who? Don't tell me that you're just a housewife. You didn't know the future there. The prayer of the mother of both of them. I mean they both touched the whole world. And many of you. Dad Hagin's life touched your life. But we didn't recognize the one that prays for the plan of God. Praise God for the plan of God, right? Amen. His spirit was speaking. Remember dad Achan? His spirit was speaking because his body is dead. Spirit separated. He was praying. Ineffective prayer from his spirit. Until the third time. Until the third. His spirit was praying. But it's an effective prayer from his spirit and God. That's why you got to hang around. That's why the word. We heard the word. We got wonderful teachers. Amen. We got wonderful teachers and quite a few of them are here. That was connected to dad Hagin and got impartations from that higgin. Right? Partition of the spirit of faith, spirit of prayer. Some of them. They didn't see it until right now. It start to flow. Amen. I can hear the spirit of God. Every time. Pretty much every time. God ministered to Sister Cindy. What's in you? It's already in her. Why would pastor say that? I believe she's praying. And God bringing it out. The gift. Because he's been around. And many others. Praise God. Somebody prays. Somebody is praying. Amen. And that's what God told me. That if you pray for your children, efficient prayers. Let me work on that prayer. They still have to make that decision, but at least we give them a chance to make the choice. Amen. We can go on and on. Reverend Oral Roberts. I mean, the prayer. Wow. Hallelujah. The prayer. Oh, it's amazing that when you find out the will of God for your life. Amen. Some of you. The will of God is to pray for your children. That's okay. You may not get into the pulpit, but the impact of your prayer life, when God gave you the Word, that's eternal. It's eternal. Yeah. Faith can meet by hearing. But don't take it lightly because that's eternal Word. When it comes, when it flows, because it comes from heaven. Oh, my God. And the Holy Ghost will give it to your spirit. When you receive it, you receive that life. It lives into your spirit. Because the letter kills. But the life of the letter is the Holy Spirit. Amen. He will reveal it to you. But I'm telling you the truth. If we are not praying, it doesn't matter if we go to church. Because we did. Me and my wife did. Amen. Nothing get into our spirit. Our life is still messed up. We give our tithes and our offering, but still there's no harvest. We hear the Word. We might not be in the perfect church, but I know that Pastor speak light may not be the whole thing, but they know. They speak light to us. Amen. But we didn't get it because lack of prayer. But when we began to pray, remember, I prayed the way I know how that commode. You know, in one month of praying, being in the presence of God, I even forget. I even forgot at that time to pray for my need. I was so consumed with the revelation of the Word I never heard before. I mean, I will open the book because, you know, you pray in the Spirit. And the purpose of praying in the Spirit so that the word of God, Amen. Will be understood. Right? I'm gonna praise God. Hallelujah. And I'm just giving you an example. I can talk about myself. I cannot talk about you, but I can talk about myself. I heard that from my pastor a lot of these things I'm telling you is not my original amen. Right? And after 30 days, I get tired. And I was honest to God, lord, I get tired sitting in that commode. I want to know your will, you know, But I didn't know. I'm already hearing. I mean, specific. But what he did to me, when I pray in the spirit, you know? You know, I prayed in the worship God. I spent time worshiping God. I spent time worshiping God. If I don't. I don't have to ask him for anything because I learned. I learned it from God because one time I was driving, you know, years ago, and I was listening to Dr. Sumro, and he made mention that the lord spoke to him. Go to the Philippines. You got a thriving church, nice home, everything set up nice for him by God. But God said, you go to the Philippines. So that was 1950s, early 1950s. I was born 1958. I'm not trying to tell you my age, but I was born. And I know this because, you know, after a while, every time I heard Dr. Sherman, I asked the lord, lord, why did you'd. I learned because I learned from nicodemus. And Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Nicodemus went to Jesus. Asked question. You know, we can quote John 3:16. We will not have John 3:16 without brother Nick at night. Because he came to Jesus by night, right? You can read it. Nicodemus at night. He's the original, right? And he got corrected. You're a teacher. You didn't know. You know, he took it. He took the correct. He wants to know something. He said, how can a man be born when he is old? We will not know the word born again until Nicodemus asked Jesus. Jesus said, what I'm doing, you can do also. You must be born again. I'm just paraphrasing what he said. You must be born again by spirit. So one time I was reading that, he said, son, everything that you receive from me, it must be birthed in the spirit. Huh? Must be birthed in the spirit. Oh, yeah. Teaching me about prayer. Must be birthed. That's what he said. You must be born again. Things of the spirit has to be birthed. Has to be born. Has to be birthed. He taught me that. That scripture. See, he's talking a lot of things when he talks to me. I see prayer. Prayer is all over the scripture. Amen. So. And he asked, you can say, well, stupid, how come you said you keep. You know, he got corrected, right? But he kept asking Questions. And I saw that even though his question is not really that good in hearing, Jesus obligated himself to answer him. Have you noticed that he answered him and gave. I mean, the Book of John, chapter three talks about John 3. 16. For God so loved the world, we will not have those. And you know that he will go to the cross, right? Until the Son of man be lifted up. Remember that. Amen. All those revelation was asked by one man, a man that has fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ. And I know when Jesus was telling all this revelation to brother Nick at night, right. He's hearing from the Father what to say to him, even though the question is not even looks like legitimate, but it's a question he asked in prayer. In prayer. How do you know you were praying? Because the Father was there. The Father was present in the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. And Jesus was hearing and he's answering, Nicodemus, for God so loved the world. We know that. We memorized that scripture. We're not gonna have that today. If not for brother Nick, his question. So I see there's so many things I don't know. I mean, so many things I don't know. We struggle with it because we don't know. One day I asked the Lord, you know, because I did the same thing with brother Nicodemus. Financially, we are scraping under the barrel. You know, I buy me ticket to go with that. So my wife has to call the, you know, the electric company. Can. Can we pay half of this? My wife negotiate with them because I need to buy a ticket. I have to put the plan of God first because it's our safety. Amen. So she will call all this company because we're developing with our faith and they can I pay half this? Oh, what did they say to you? Oh, make it three. As far as we're concerned, you're paid up to date and we're behind paying. And the money will still come and it takes a while. And then one day it dawned on me. Dad was invited. I was with him. We were in the vehicle. I was at the back. I remember under my breath, I was talking to God. I'm like, Hannah, you know, you know, Eli seeing her mouth moving, but he cannot hear. Nobody knows at that time that Eli will be rejected by God. Amen. Rejected by God, Right, Rejected by God. Lack of prayer. But anyway, I asked Lord, Lord, I need money to go with that. Father. Give me idea in business. You know, I was talking to God, you know, so I can have. My asking is not selfish. Amen. Right. I can have the finances to fulfill the plan. We struggled and struggled financially until that day. And I realized, oh my God, we should not have struggled this long. If only I asked. He didn't tell me. He said, son, I cannot give you ideas in business. He can't. What he means to me is he can't give me ideas in business. But because of the nature of your, of my plan for you, the nature of your ministry, I cannot give it to you, but here's what I'm gonna do. He gave me the best option, right? He said, I open doors for you, you know, priests to my churches. And I will use this as an avenue, not my trust. He taught me about not to press on meetings, but he will use that you will go there. And he taught me about not to be money minded, not to think about how much they will give you. He said, son, every one of my pastor has different degree in their faith financially. And he said to me, son, just receive. Sometimes he'll tell me, just give it back to them, whatever. He said, give your best. Wherever you go, give your best. Amen. And don't think about the money, don't think about the offering. He said, if it's not enough, what they give to you, that's where their faith is, I will make it up. He said, son, I know how much you worth. So I mean. And then he told me, this is just me. He said, son, just don't call anyone. And I realized why he doesn't want me to call anyone is because I'm around with dad at the time and his influence, influence big. And people can see me being around him and God doesn't want me to abuse that influence. He's protecting me, my mind. He's protecting first of all my spirit, my intent. He said, son, you always have my word. Knows the intent of the heart. Make sure your intent is always right. I have to always, you know. So he taught me this. I mean, if you're a traveling minister, there's nothing wrong with calling for meeting. But that is just for me because of the. Now I understand because of the position we are in. Amen. I was thinking, you know, your mindset, how do they know that you told me. And he remind me, lay hold, lay hold. Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold. It looks like it's so what I do, Father, you know, your plan for me, it's a mystery to me where I should be. So I began to pray in the spirit. Father, I lift up to youo, the church. I lift up to youo. Those pastors. Father, I thank youk. I thank youk for those avenues. And Father, you said I'd be a blessing to them. I began to speak. Pray what he said to me. So I lay hold and I pray in the spirit to lay hold. He taught me that. To lay hold. You know. You know the scripture if you study it. He was teaching Timothy to lay hold of finances. Not to be covetous. You know, that's where part of that chapter is the love of money. Not money, the root of all evil. He taught Timothy to lay hold how to bring that finances. Amen. How God will supply your needs according to his riches and glory. It came from Paul. But Paul knows how to lay hold when there's no money. He doesn't think of money. Thinks of he lay hold of it. He told Timothy how he did it. Amen. And that same night, the pastor, sad to say, they're not there anymore. The pastor leaned on me. I was sitting next to him. He said, amen. Pastor Noel, come and preach for us. I said, God, you just told me that earlier. It came to pass. It came to pass. And the doors began to open. I didn't open it. God did. I open doors for you no man can shut. He gave me that scripture. And I know that was Jesus speaking to John. Remember, he's the head of the church. He's the boss. When he said he'll open, he'll open. Amen. My job is to lay hold. Amen. Hallelujah. See? Amen. And the finance become easier and easier because God opened up avenue. Amen. But it's not a selfish prayer. It's to fulfill the plan of God. Even up to today. Amen. Even up to today. Praise God. Prayer. Amen. God gave us a nice home here. We don't have the money to pay for it, but we have the Word. Amen. We have the Word. But the Word comes easy. When you always pray. There must be a labor in the beginning. You know where I learned it from? From all these things I learned from my pastor testimony. Pastor, remember how she met Dr. Dufresne? Dad? DU prayed right. She prayed the way she knows how I believe the Holy Ghost. Later, she will meditate on the Word. She will worship right and then she will pray in the Spirit. When she saw the plan of God, she didn't recognize it. Remember when they met? But I noticed that there's people. God is moving through people to bring them together. All things work together for good. Amen. All things work together for good. She didn't even Pastor didn't even recognize the plan of God for his. For her life. But Dr. Been praying. He taught me that. Amen. Even in his earth prayer. He said, there's a lot of people, but one of them will be my wife. He's been wanting to get married. But every time he will see somebody, God said no. God said no, make me a eunuch. Remember every time he said no. Amen. Because it will hinder the plan of God if he married wrong. The first one, you know the first one did not. It's not really good. He almost quit the ministry, right? Remember the story. But thank God he got connected to these two men, Dr. Shumral and dad. Hagen, you stay with me tonight. You'll be okay. You might say, well, he just slept with the man of God in the room. So that's why probably okay. You didn't know Dr. Sumbral that I could was praying for him. I believe they did. And this man of God when they opened their mouth and talked to the father. Father always answers right away. Oh, praise God. Amen. Nothing happened without that. Without prayer. The word in prayer. Amen. You learned something. Praise God. We didn't know that the plan of God for pastor will be like this today. She doesn't even know. But she was praying for the plan of God for her life. And in a few weeks she got married to the plan. You may say. Well, she got married to Dr. Pray. No, she got married to the plan of God. How do you know that? Because when the devil put vile thoughts in my mind to separate from that. I mean the pressure. I mean I rebuke it in Jesus name. I rebuke it will live a little bit and then it'll come back again. I don't know what to do. It come back under pressure. Vile thoughts about dad. And I know it's the devil because I cannot think this for my spiritual father. The pressure of living the man of God. Because I was determined to stay with him and not short circuit the anointing. I don't care. Oh because before I just let people come into our church or whoever they are. There's one man, one time he got anointing good teacher. Anointed by God. I can. I mean the anointing was on him. I have him in the church and I have. I heard the Holy Ghost have him in your church. So I did. He helped me in some. I learned something from him. But he talks bad about that Hagen. He talks about. And he started talking bad about Dr. Dufresne and Pastor Nancy because Dr. Mary, Pastor Nancy is one of those that talk bad because they don't hear. They didn't hear from God, right? So God said, no, you cannot have him anymore in your church. The reason why I have him, you know, connected him to you because I want him to get connected with your spiritual father. But he rejected it by speaking wrong against him. Because of his gift, it will be enhanced. Amen. He said, never again have somebody that's not connected to your spiritual father. And you have to understand, when God connected, you don't short circuit by having more men in your life or women in your life. They might be good ministers, but they were short, you know, because I used to be an electrician. I know a little bit of electricity when I was in the Navy. There's a flow of electricity. It's good. We can have, you know, right? We can take advantage of that flow. But when you short circuit it, it will turn off everything. It will turn off the flow. There are ministers that will come to your church that is not connected to the flow that God has given to you. And it will short circuit the flow. Short circuit the flow. It has to be the same flow, same move of God, same flow. They might not be. They might be a good ministers, but they're not the flow that God is, has given to you. That's how I learned. So when this battle thought come to me, right? I stand against that devil. I remember God said to connect me with dad in 2002, I want you, you will go with him. And he said, I sent men to go with him, but all of them left him. He said, God said to me, but I know you will not. I don't know what it's like. I just learned that what God said to Paul, he counted me faithful. So he counted me faithful. What he said, I know you will not leave me this dude right here. Naturally, it seems like you won't qualify. But he doesn't qualify you with your look. Although I'm good looking. I'm sorry. I tell my wife you married, you know, tall, dark and handsome. And I always tell my wife, because she got opportunity to marry rich people because she's surrounded by it in college. But you married to me because of my look. Because I don't have money at that time. I gave my wife a hard time. I have to borrow money from her when we date. We go to movies, eat, I make sure it's her because she got budget, you know. You know, mine is just bad. I don't have. I don't get anything I don't have a bad get budget or whatever. So I will ask you, you have money? Okay. We can see movie. I did everything in the beginning when I'm still courting her, you know. So I spent all that money. So when she said yes to me, I don't have money anymore, but I got what I want. How do you know we're gonna do the will of God together, you know? Right. But anyway, the same as God. He saw this dude people right here. But he's not looking at my outside, he's looking at my inside. I'm telling you, I almost quit. But he was always there to help me remember. I was pressured. We don't have money because I didn't ask God. Right? Right. We just do whatever it takes to make it happen. Until that day. Lord, Lord, I need money to go with. So I'm always, you know, open to God. I need money. And then when I asked him, then he answered, why don't you just told me we've been struggling to get money together to fulfill the plan. Right? I could ask myself, why didn't you just tell me before? Because I never asked. So I learned from Nicodemus in prayer. I asked so much. If I don't understand the word, I ask him in prayer. Praise God. So. So now here's the pressure, the vile thoughts coming to me. And I rebuke it in Jesus name, you know, I command it in Jesus name. Because I know it's the devil subside a little bit. The devil is a liar. He'll leave you alone a little bit. He'll come back again. But this time it's different. Something rose up in me and the Holy Ghost remind me of what he said to me about the will of God for my. For my spiritual father. And I. I get up, I said, devil, you get out of here. Your thoughts. Because I will not leave the plan of God for my life. Doctor. Dr. Dufresne. Dad. Dufresne is the will of God for my life. So you get out of here. I am not living the will of God. He left in all his vile thoughts. And I know it when it's coming. I said, no, you're not. From that day on, he never did. He tried. But because I got the answer, Victory is mine. I just said what he said to me, the Holy Ghost, what he said to me about dad. Amen. When dad went home to be with the Lord, the day Pastor Morgan, I remember, called us right away. You know, your emotion is still right, is still moving, you know, But I Learned how to quiet it, right? Went to my other room there where I pray. I said, lord, I can't travel with that plan is over and we learn now, the word of God said, paths. You know the paths. The plan of God born anew, right, that you may walk in this path. So I said, lord, what's next? I can't go with that. Amen. Because that word, like what the pastor said, it will anchor you. I said, stay with your pastor. You needed her and your wife, but she needed you, too. Amen, son. You pray for your pastor, make sure she's a success in her life, in ministry. See, I know when dad went home, we didn't try to find somebody. We know the one right away, he answered me. Amen. I don't short circuit anything, but I honor everyone. Yeah, that's good. You understand me now. Hallelujah. We're still here. We're still the favorite. I'm just kidding. Hallelujah. Praise God forevermore. Prayer, prayer, prayer. Don't just keep bringing people into your ministry. And I learned from that. Everyone that you bring in the pulpit, they will bring a supply to your church. Whether good or bad. You got to know. You got to know their ministry. You got to know exactly who God. And you cannot know that without prayer. I'm just teaching you. Praise God. Hallelujah. Well, how do you know that? Because God will connect you to somebody that walk in the plan. And because of the plan of God for their life. Amen. You get opportunity, you got the privilege to walk in the plan that God has for them. And God will reveal to you his plan for your life. That's right. Amen. Amen. The plan of God is amazing. So here, I'm gonna show you here, and I'm gonna end with this. Let's go to Or. That's one Scripture, First Corinthians. This is. The scripture is dear to me with regards to prayer. You know, I've started learning the Word now and more and more, but you know, that commotion time of prayer. I don't have much word until, you know, but I meditate on the Word the Lord taught me, and he put that in my heart. Meditate on the Word day and night. You will make your way prosperous. You will make, you know, and you will have good success. I didn't know that when you're praying in the Spirit, not only he will reveal to you the written word and your fellowship and your worship God, because that's what I did. I didn't know that my pastor did the same way you Spend time meditating on the Word and spend time in worship and spend time praying in the Spirit. I did the same without me knowing her. We don't know each other yet, but it's the same thing that God put in my heart. I was not. The Holy Ghost helped me. I didn't know I was being helped by the Holy Ghost. And I was fervent. I understand. Fervent prayer. I will pour my heart every day to know the plan of God for my life. And before he even give me the details of his plan, specific details, he's giving me the Word. He's revealing the Word to me. Amen. He's revealing the Word to me. And not only that, he's revealing little by little. Amen. The specific will. So I said, oh, Lord, there's two things. When you pray, he will tell you the Word, not only the Word, that being when you meditate, also the Word, when the voice. God has given you a voice. Or whoever. God will stand in this pulpit or Amen. And those that visit our church as the Lord lead us. Amen. I get what I said. I mean, if I. If I don't get it, then I listen to it again. With prayer. With prayer, Right? With prayer. Father, I thank you for the spirit of wisdom. I learned it from Paul. He said, I have all this revelation. And he will pray. A prayer will be listed. It's all over the place. It's all over all those epistles, the Philippians. They're not from the Philippines, but they're Philippians, right? A man of God named Paul. He has the faith to go home. He wants to go home because it's far better. But because of the prayer of that church, they kept Paul on the earth because why? Because Revelation, he cannot leave the earth until he has to speak those revelations that's flowing out of his spirit. He has to stay around because revelation still flow. Amen. Praise God. He said, because of your. Through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit. That's what Paul said. This will turn to my salvation. Amazing prayer of the church. The whole church. So it is possible that the whole church pray they kept the man of God on the earth. Keep him out of prison. Oh, praise God. And you know, they become very rich churches. Philippians. Amen. You know the story. We're not gonna have the Word. My God shall supply all my needs. Don't pray for your pastor. Not supporting your pastor. And if my God shall supply you, it will not work. That verse was spoken at the end of the book of Philippians. You have to start chapter one. It doesn't start chapter four. Very important, very important. Sometimes Pastor, notice that men of God. I have all these written notes, you know, Sometimes you will say, I have all this written, but none of them. I will preach. She will start preaching by the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Somebody's praying, but she's always ready. Just in case we don't pray, Folks, you won't get it if you don't pray for those revelations. If you don't pray for your man, Woman of God, they're voice to your life. Oh, my God. I don't know why I'm into this, but oh, praise God. Pray for me. That's what Paul said. Pray for me. Paul prays for them that they will get it and said, pray for me that utterance may be given to me that I make the word the precise utterance, the correct utterance, the timely utterance, the correct knowledge of his will, that I may speak it boldly as I ought to speak. Amen. Because the Word first before the move of the Spirit. See that book of Acts? Pastor said that. Amen. I saw that book of Acts. They pray. They pray boldness to speak thy word. Amen. Because the devil will stop the revelation of the Word. There will be no miracle without the Word first. You know, you know the outpouring of the Spirit. Well, it's the day of Pentecost. That's why he came. No, no, no, no. You see that they were in one accord, in one place. It took a little bit of time for them to be in unity. Word in their heart and mind. There's different kinds of things. And Jesus was telling, wait for the promise of the Father. 120 of them, at least we know, right when they got together with one word Jesus gave to them, they became united in heart and mind with the Word that Jesus told them what happened. Boom. The manifestation of what's in their heart and their mind came. We don't know everybody there. We just know some that was mentioned. But those hundred and twenty brought to us the Holy Ghost and they began to speak with other tongues and brought in harvest. At least we know beginning is 3,000. Why those 3,000 came, got born again, got connected to the plan of God. Because those 120 prayed. They got filled with the Holy Ghost. They got filled with the plan of God. Because the Holy Ghost will not give you any utterance outside from the will of God. It might be a mystery to you. And this is what is said here. Paul said here in chapter two. He said Amen. Praise God. Chapter two here. Yeah. Verse six. For the sake of time, howbeit we speak wisdom among them? Chapter two, among them, howbeit we? We. He was talking about we. And if you go to chapter three, he's not talking about the church of Corinth, any one of them. Because they are all cornal, right? There's no revelation. So you can get into a place, belong to a church that cannot receive revelation. Amen. So he was talking about him we, not only him. He didn't mention any names. But there's we. There's somebody that do the same thing as him. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are what? Perfect? And the word perfect we know, mature. So without speaking this wisdom. Amen. We will lack maturity, right? That's what it said. Amen. It says here, yet not the wisdom of this world. Nor are the princes of this world that come to nothing without the wisdom of God. Our wisdom will come to nothing. Your whole plan, it may work something you know for your life, but it's still nothing. It's in vain. Now, it said here, for the sake of time, it said here, verse seven. But we. He talked about the we again. Who are those we? The one that prays. The wisdom of God in a mystery, Right? He said here. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. Now we know that praying in the spirit. You speak mystery. It's the wisdom of God. The plan of God. Now look at this. It says here, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory is for our glory. Amen. We, stand up. The princes of this world knew. For had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. So when you're praying in the spirit, the devil doesn't know. There are things that God will reveal to me as I pray. He said, son, keep your mouth shut. Don't say it. Don't let the devil hear what I'm saying. He is not hearing what I'm revealing to you in your spirit. You're the only one that can hear. Amen. Okay? Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Hallelujah. So now here, it says here, amen, verse nine. But as it is written, I have not seen. Now he's still talking about the weakness that praying the mystery. So if you don't pray the wisdom of God, the mystery has nothing, nothing to be revealed. Now look at this. But as written, I have not seen nor ear heard. Neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. So I like what pastor minister too long ago. Amen. I think I believe in Georgetown at the love of God is connected to the plan of God. If you love God. Amen. You walk in what he prepared for you. But God had revealed them unto us. By what? By his Spirit. Who is that us? Those us is the we. So if you're not praying, you're not one of those us, you're not of those we. So you go to church and not get anything. Praise God forevermore. But God had revealed them unto us by his Spirit. For the spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man save the spirit of a man which is in him. Amen. In the amplified it talks about. Amen. What your spirit received revelation. It will flow to your mind. Because your mind has to be renewed. It has to be. Amen. That's why your mind needs to be renewed all the time. Because you cannot know the will of God. Amen. What is good acceptable in the perfect will of God? If your mind is unrenewed. Because your mind will reject what your spirit receiving. Right? Amen. But when your mind is renewed, the power and the demonstration of the Spirit will begin to flow. Amen. Because in third chapter, it talks about they cannot receive the wisdom of God because they're carnal, they have divisions among them. Amen. Because what I believe, lack of prayer. Because they're not the we, they're not the us. So here, praise God, it says here, right? Amen. Now, we have received not the Spirit, this word. We know that, right? And it says here which things also we speak. See, it's a revelation, right? We speak the wisdom of a God in mystery. But when it becomes a revelation, so when you're praying, words will be formed in your spirit. The revelation will be formed in your spirit. Amen. Hallelujah. It will be formed. Yeah, you're praying in your most holy faith, you know. Hallelujah. Praying in the Holy Ghost. Amen. Your spirit began to hear the understanding of what the mystery is all about. Maybe one word and then what you speak. You speak it. You speak it. Hallelujah. You speak it. So if you pray in the Spirit all the time, the mystery, you will always hear revelation. Every day of your life you will hear the answer. You will hear the plan of God for your life. And you speak it. That's your victory. Do you speak those words? Hallelujah. Now, the devil cannot, cannot tempt us to leave our pastor. I'm not saying to you he didn't cry. He's still crying. But he cannot. He cannot. He cannot have victory. It cannot. We don't give him an inch because we know the plan. I'm not saying this because Pastor is here. I'm just telling you what God said. Amen. You pray. It's not casual. It's not a casual prayer. But I'm not trying to be hur. No. The Holy Ghost help me pray with an intense prayer sometimes. But I worship in purse. I worship him. And then suddenly he'll speak to me the word. Amen. He'll speak the word. And every time he speak, it's always in line with his word. Ah, praise God. And I will read the word by the Holy Ghost. And I said, lord, I received that word. I receive it. And he'll begin. Amen. And I pray in the spirit. And I will birth right. That's what he told me. Every spiritual thing has to be birthed into my spirit, into your spirit. So can you imagine if you're not praying, nothing will be birthed. You got to live a carnal human being. You won't hear from God because you are not the we and you're not the us. You want to be the we. Start praying. Amen. Hallelujah. And two things happening. I started understanding the written word and I started hearing the specific word. That's why we just don't bring people in our church, because we know exactly who to bring. Amen. Hallelujah. We trust you've enjoyed this message.
