Time mark 0:46
1 Kings 17:1-7
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab,
"As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word."
And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
"Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there."
So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord, for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and he drank of the brook.
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
Time mark 2:33
Modern day prophets are sent to speak because God loves us.
God is using them to
deliver a command or
directive.
It's important that we are
astute and understanding
the purpose and
the reason.
It's important that we understand that
the secret of public power
is private prayer.
Elijah was always behind the scenes praying.
When God put him into the forefront,
he was powerful, and
his words did what they were set out to do.
Being a prophet speaking and being an oracle of the Most High,
it's important that you
stay in prayer,
always be able to be ready for God to use you, in order to
have a word to speak in that moment, that's
going to deliver a message where
the people will adhere to it.
Sometimes the message will be
for deliverance,
for healing,
for correction.
Time mark 3:33
God loves us.
He always gives us an opportunity to get it right, and
He always gives us a way of escape so that
we don't have to fall into our own fleshly devices,
as well as the enemy's devices.
I say it that way because sometimes we blame the devil and we say,
"Oh, he's always after me, or he made me do it."
and half the time, it's your flesh.
You're falling into your flesh and
go and being consumed by
your emotions and
your feelings,
rather than allowing for the Holy Spirit,
the Divine Spirit that
God has placed on the inside of you
to lead and guide you.
4:51 Psalm 91:1-2
He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him will I trust.
Time mark 09:47
2 Chronicles 7:14
"If my people,
which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray,
and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways,
then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin, and
will heal their land."
You got to know who you are,
"my people" meaning that
I am a son,
I am a daughter of the Most High God.
So therefore I am considered "his people"
with He and I,
we are One.
He's He, and
I have been adopted to the throne of grace
through Jesus Christ giving up Himself,
sacrificing Himself,
making a ransom for me.
So now,
through the blood of Jesus Christ,
I am connected with my heavenly Father.
He now calls me daughter,
he now calls you son.
So now,
we understand that our prayer is lined up with the Word of God.
When you say the scripture, and
you pray according to the scripture,
what are you doing?
You are applying God's word.
God spoke, what happened?
When we recognize that the Word of God, the scriptures,
are from the design of the mouth of the Most High God,
when we incorporate them into our prayers,
once again we start to see things miraculously happen.
We start to see a greater movement of God.
That's why when you pray,
you need to be specific in your prayer.
Time mark 12:54
I have experienced church, the real church, deliverance, tarrying on the altar, speaking in unknown tongues, actually seeing demons cast out.
Now you can YouTube and people got all this, "Let me train you how to cast out demons."
We had no training, we were in prayer. Your training was in prayer. You got up and you better not try to get up and try to shut us out. Somebody's trying to cast some spirits out if you weren't ready. No, we didn't play like that.
There were designated mothers, mothers who knew how to pray fast and read the Word. They did not play with the Holy Ghost. And see we have gotten away from the real true things of God.
You cannot mock God in the things of God. We cannot do that because they're powerful. People have lacked the respect and the power thereof. You can't play with the power of God, you can't mock the power of God, and then when something happens, you want to call on it.
Remember the sons of Sceva they will try to cast out game don't do this one said, Look, I know Pete, I don't do who are you? Who are you? I know this one off always. Oh, you.
We have to understand, this is a practice. This is a lifestyle.
Time mark 14:08
Acts 19:13-17
Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches." And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?" And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
Time mark 15:40
Genesis 3:6-11
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, "Where art thou?"
And he said, "I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded you that you shouldn't not eat?"
