Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Hallelujah. Can I just lift your hands wherever you are? Lift your hands for the hour is now. Now, our Father, we thank You. We give You praise and we give You glory. Can You make the Lord your focus tonight? And we can grow blasphemy, and You are worthy, and You are desert. You are the one who sits upon the circles of the earth, the inhabitants thereof, like grass-hoffers. At your appearance, the mountains and the hills, they skipped like rams. Chutting saw you and fled. This is so you and was driven back. What a mighty God was served. Heaven and earth adore Him. Dangerous light prostrated before Him. Great God that You are.
Father, now we stand in alignment with that that is your predetermined counsel, but declared, Your will be done, let Your kingdom come. Glorify Yourself amongst us. In Jesus' matchless name and everybody says, Amen. Help me give Your neighbor a loving nudge, and ask them, are You ready? That neighbor does not sound like they are ready. Look for someone with fire in their eyes, and ask them, are You ready? This man came at a great price. He made a huge sacrifice to be here tonight. I do not take it for granted at all. He had every reason not to be here tonight. I told him that he touched a very special place in my heart.
You must have value for sacrifice. There must be something about your destiny that makes a man really kind of price that he is being to be here tonight. There must be something about your future that causes God to impress on your man to do that. Came from a Begota to Lagos, jumped on your plane, he is here, then when he leaves here, he is still going, I do not know. Nobody who says that pastors should not have planes, don't know ministry. There is no way you can do that kind of a turn around, but anyways, he is not in Hussie Tower to this house. This man on whom undoubtedly rests the spirit of revelation and counsel to declare the
counsel of God to a territory. It is amazing what God has done with him is become a global voice. His voice reverberates across the globe. Europe, America, Africa, Asia, everyone has felt the impact of this great servant of God. House on the rock, portacot, activate conference 2023, please put your hand together and let us receive the ministry of the man of God, Apostle Joshua, Salmon tonight. Hallelujah, good evening, portacot.
Amen, I am happy to be here and amen, we have to do this fast, the spirit of God wants to bring so much within the time that we have and praise the name of the Lord. So I set the stage for my dear friend and brother, Pastor Jerry, to also have the opportunity to share. Could you help me on the sound? Thank you. Hallelujah. Please help me honor Pastor Lan Regal, bless you, sir, thank you, thank you, thank you so very much, thank you, we do the things that we do because we love Jesus and then we love people, hallelujah, amen, it's an honor to spend and be spent for Jesus, this is why he is granted the grace and so truly I consider it an honor to be here, hallelujah.
And then please, please do help me, was a pleasant surprise seeing him also, Reverend Edwin all the way from house on the rock, and he will give him a big, God bless you, is this how you honor Reverend, amen, let's pray, Father we ask that you reveal your word to us tonight, in the name of Jesus, let your word come with power, grant us understanding that after tonight we truly will begin to walk in power and walk in authority, tonight we declare that there is the hearing of faith and even the walking of miracles, and to Jesus be all the glory, amen, and amen, I saw so many people outside I was so humbled, those in the door, I don't know which of the overflows, that's them shouting, blessings see you, please be seated, amen, the Psalmist said I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the house
of the Lord, there are things you only find in the house of the Lord, you cannot find it in a bank, you cannot find it in a school, among the many things that the church does is that it is the cheapest institution for transformation, all other institutions have very strict requirements like age range, regional quotas, but all it takes to be changed by God through the church is your availability, there are no age restrictions, no gender biases, no pre-qualifications, all that is required is your hunger and your presence, hallelujah, and so I want us to pay attention as I set the stage for the mighty things that God is going to be doing tonight, I'm teaching on authority, power, and jurisdiction, authority, power, and jurisdiction, it's going to be a
brief charge and then we'll pray, authority, power, and jurisdiction, please let me you attention, the average Christians understanding about power and authority is vague and largely inaccurate, just listen for a minute and then we'll continue, the average Christians understanding as far as the subject of authority and power is concerned is largely vague and inaccurate, most believers know instinctively or perhaps by reason of being in church that the believer has been given power, the believer has been given authority, but in truth most believers are lost as to what that even means, hallelujah, it is true from scripture that we have been given power and that we have been given authority, Jesus himself made very profound statements
attesting to the fact that the believer in Christ has an advantage of power and advantage of authority are we together, but then having that information is not enough for us to work in the experience of power, it will take going beyond just the awareness that we have been given power to actually work in power, so I to set the stage tonight my first assignment is to redefine certain terminologies because we need to be on the same page as to the idea of power and authority, are you ready, let's define power, what exactly is power, as far as the business of the kingdom is concerned, here are my definitions number one, power is the capacity to influence outcomes, power is the capacity to influence outcomes, whoever sustains the capacity to influence outcomes
has power, the capacity to influence outcomes, number two still defining power, the force that compels compliance, this is my definition of power, the force that compels compliance, Alleluia, are we together, in physics, the first law of mechanics as postulated by Sir Isaac Newton says that everybody remains in its uniform motion or state of rest except compelled by an external force to act otherwise, am I right on that, that means if I keep this and I leave it here theoretically, it should remain in this state, if it does shift then a force greater than what is keeping it must have been exerted, so power is defined as the force that compels compliance,
capacity to influence outcomes and the force that compels compliance is my definition of power, you have that down, let's define authority, this will be very in authority means the right to represent, number one, the right to represent, the right to represent, number two, authority is the legitimacy to use power, authority is defined as the legitimacy to use power, so while power talks of capacity to influence outcomes, authority is the legitimacy to use power, if you have power and you do not have authority, you have a right, the government can arrest you, for instance, what is the difference between an umbrella holding a gun and a military man holding a
gun, both of them have power but only one has authority, are we learning already, so authority is the right to use power, before the realm of the spirit respects your use of power, it must verify that you have authority, there are many people who have authority but they do not have power, are we learning already, now authority always comes with a predefined jurisdiction, please let me have your attention, it is impossible to give someone the legitimacy to use power indefinitely, every time you grant authority you must define jurisdictions, am I correct, yes, there is nobody who is given power without jurisdiction, the strength of authority is that it is you work the authority within a predefined jurisdiction, are we learning already, because most believers are
only power conscious and they do not know that there is a jurisdiction to the use of the believer's power, we do not have power everywhere, for instance, the throne room, there is a limit, the believer does not have indefinite absolute power, the power and the authority that we have has jurisdictions, are we learning now, let's now define jurisdiction, remember we're doing and very elementary we're just doing definitions, so we've defined power, authority, now jurisdiction, jurisdiction is the sphere, where the use of power is allowed, beyond which it becomes illegal, jurisdiction please put that down, represents the sphere, where the use of power is allowed, jurisdiction represents the sphere, where the use of power is allowed, beyond which it becomes illegal,
so as much as a military man has authority, his authority is defined by a code of conduct, am I right on that, and there are jurisdictions, he cannot walk into your house for no cause and no reason, and just shoot you down, so there has to be jurisdiction, are we together, now let me go straight to the point, there are a few things that we need to understand, as far as the administration of power is concerned, number one, man does not have absolute power, no, man was never given absolute power, only god has absolute power, listen carefully, the power that man has is derived and is limited, that is the reason why power can increase and power can reduce, god does not increase power, he does not reduce power because he has absolute
power, you need to understand this, these are the fundamentals of administering true spiritual power, man was not given absolute power, only god has absolute power, and in fact is the exclusive owner of all power, god does not just have absolute power, based on scripture, he is the exclusive owner, let's look at two scriptures, first chronicles 29 11, is god helping someone already, first chronicles 29 and 11, the bible says yours, oh lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, the victory, and the majesty, for all that is in heaven and in earth is yours, yours is the kingdom of all lord, and you are exalted above all, scripture number two, second chronicles chapter 20 from verse five and six, this was a prayer that Jehoshaphat was
praying, then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court, the six, and he said, oh lord god of our fathers, are you not god in the heavens, and do you not rule over all the kingdoms of the earth, and in your hand is they are not power and might, so that there is none that is able to withstand you, only god, god almighty has absolute power, are we learning already, if you are with me shouting loud amen, right, are you ready for the next surprise, god almighty does not have authority, god cannot have authority, the nature of authority is that someone higher than you must confide upon you, listen carefully, god does not have authority, the law of authority is that
you must be under authority, to have authority, the centurion said for Ayame man under authority, and then I also have other people under me, on the strength of that law, I say to one go, and he go with, if god has authority, there must be someone he must be obedient to, and there must be someone he must worship, there are certain things god cannot do for instance, he cannot be obedient, it is not in his character, who will he obey, are you learning now, because there are many believers who want the realm of the spirit to respect them, and with this maze of misinformation and confusion, we speak to demons, and we hope that they listen, we speak to situations, and circumstances know, the power of god is administered upon the strength of knowledge, god does not have authority, he only gives authority,
are we learning, god almighty does not have authority, ladies and gentlemen, he only gives authority, the law of authority I told you earlier on is that there must be someone higher than you, who gives you that authority and supervises your compliance, every time you give authority to someone lower than you, automatically you have the power to supervise their compliance, if they default you withdraw it, Hallelujah, Isaiah 40, my goodness, now you will worship him with understanding, the one who only has power with no authority, Isaiah 40, 14, Isaiah 40, 14, with whom did he take counsel, and who instructed him, who taught him in the part of justice, who taught him knowledge, and who showed him the way of understanding,
there is no one, this is how great god is, that he does not have the ability to obey, and he does not have the ability to have authority, he cannot be, he is such for a man greater than him, he was willing to humble himself to such a god if there were any, and not finding any he swore by himself, that by this to immutable counsel it is impossible for god to lie, do you know what that means, if god says I will bless you, there is no other force that threatens that word, listen, let me teach you something about authority, in the court we have customer records, we have high court, am I right on that, and they all have jurisdictions, have you seen that there are certain courts that cannot pass certain, what do we call it now, talk to me lawyers, they can pass certain judgments because they say it is beyond their jurisdiction, they have authority but it must be supervised, the highest of them in any nation is called
the supreme court, am I right on that, and when the supreme court makes a statement whether you agree or not, as far as that jurisdiction is concerned it is over, so I can say I want to bless you, but if someone higher than me, perhaps the one who gave me the legitimacy to use that power refuses, I become helpless even though I am sincere, so when god speaks, what makes his word powerful is not just that he is god, it is because he is the only one, are we learning now? Can we bring the spirit for one minute, where we are defining things, for someone god is already giving you understanding, Shalekaparatusia Parandoshias, Skabalandos Epresibilatias,
Alleluia, are we together now, so let's recap on everything we've said, we define power, we define authority, we define jurisdiction, and now we're establishing a few things that will guide our understanding, that man does not have absolute power, only god has absolute power, and is the exclusive owner, he was not given, he is the owner, I have spoken once, and twice have you heard that power, that includes the power that is used by witchcraft and all of that, you just listen, god operates the power of god operates at three levels, I don't have the time, the highest dimension of his power is derived to intimacy, are we together, you will have to encounter god directly by his spirit to have that dimension of power, the second level of god's power is hidden
in principles, you don't need a relationship to activate that dimension, you only need knowledge, so you can reject god as a person and refuse intimacy with him, but understand the principles, are we together now, it was designed to be activated, the moment the laws are adhered to, regardless of relationships, that is the dimension where demonic forces and they only manipulate the laws of the spirit, there is already a default manifestation of power, it is an abuse of power, the third dimension of power happens through covenant alignment, you don't have to be powerful, you just need to believe and connect to the one who has power, are we together, are we learning now, so if you ever see whether it is the power used in occultism, whether it is the power used in any
profited, you see anything that can tame creation, it is power, it belongs to god, even though it was abused, if someone steals your money and drinks with it, you are not a drunkard, is your money body was abused, but it does not stop the fact that it was your money that was stolen, am I right on that, yes, so just because it is god's power being abused, does not mean it is not his power, it is his power, it is only that is being abused, because one day he will withdraw it, if it was not his power, you will not have the right to withdraw it, is it not in your bible that Satan, hell, the grave, all will be cast into the lake of fire, who then withdraws their power, even the spirits have you come to destroy us before our time, they are aware that there is one, the owner, the earth is the Lord's, the fullness, that means everything that finds itself in the earth belongs to him, the world's and then day, it is the man that dwell there, whoever is in the earth
is still god's property, and one day he will show his absolute owner, are we learning, I assume that your quietness means you are learning, it is amazing how believers want to walk in power but remain in ignorance, just learning already that god does not have authority, keeps it built your faith, nobody confers it upon him, so when god speaks that's like the supreme court saying done, every other court has to bow, that is the power in his word, if there were many gods and he was just the greatest, there will be trouble, if there were many gods equal to him and he's just the wisest out of them, there will be trouble but there is none in his class, are we together,
every once in a while we had kings upon the earth who made themselves gods, we had all kinds of demons who deceived people that they were god, and usually it is god's system that all through history a time will come where he will shout from heaven and remind people for instance nebokadneza when he turns him to become an animal still with the brain of a man, it is to make a statement that there is a god that rules over the affairs of men, I'm saying that because everything god has set to you that you are wondering will it come to pass, that means you are saying there is a power higher than him that may stop it, no, the moment you believe that god's word does not come to pass, I personally consider it seen against god, you are saying he lied that it does not possess authority, let god be true, an old man lies, now to walk in dominion you must have both power and authority,
now you understand what I'm saying, that to walk in dominion the force to create that compliance whether economic power in this case spiritual power, you must, do you know that the money in your pocket is Nigeria's property, hello, you forgotten, let me remind you that the money in your pocket and the one in your bank provided your holding paper, it is written there, it does not belong to you, you are using it or it is Nigeria's property, amazing how this thing works, the land that you are building on, you bought it but in truth based on an agreement you are not even aware of because you were too happy to read and you just signed it, it says after 99 years they hope that you will be dead by then, the devil is a liar, you will live long, say amen, shout it louder amen,
so to walk in dominion you must need power and authority, look 1019, you will understand that statement now, look chapter 10 and verse 19, my spiritual life changed when I understood the things that I'm sharing with you and believe me when it comes to this subject of power I know something a bit about it, may not know everything what there are a few things we know, al-Eluyan, the Bible says behold I give you, now even you King James does not get it right, the only version that really gets what Jesus said is amplified, give us amplified, King James says power, new King James says authority, I respect them both of them are wrong, this is what Jesus said, behold I have given you authority and power to trample upon sapiens and scorpions, do you notice that the moment he mentioned authority jurisdiction came he defined what you are to have authority over, this is a law that was respected right from
Genesis 128, the moment God gives men authority let them have dominion, he did not stop their over and he defined everything you should have dominion over, behold I give you authority and I give you power are we together and he says on account of that nothing when you understand that you have authority and you have power nothing shall by any means hurt you this is profound so we know from scripture that man has been given power and with power he's been given authority do you know why authority is important because there is a God God in heaven higher than you who supervises your administration of that power and supervises the obedience of creation while you administer that power so if I tell one go and it does not go it is not my responsibility to defend that statement the power was received the authority was conferred the owner of the power
and the one who gave me the authority will have to defend his name as touching that disobedience when you understand this your ego gets out of the way because it is God's business to bring confirmation are we learning now otherwise how will you ever stand before a dead body and asking to come back to life have you ever stood before a dead body that did not move honestly that's when you will know that God was wise to say get out of the way and allow me to be the one who confirms the word there are cases that when you see humanly speaking health issues economic situations using the lens of a man you would not even want to dare those things because you will be embarrassing yourself and creating a negative memorial forever people who remember you and say no dispersing you are as powerless as whatever but what gives you the audacity is that I have power I have authority and there is one who stands behind me as a mighty terrible one authority
hallelujah what were we given authority over let me talk a bit about jurisdiction and then we Genesis 1 28 you need to study the jurisdiction for the administration of your power the power God has given you and God bless them and said be fruitful multiply fill the earth and subdue it it says have dominion over number one the fish of the sea it doesn't mean fish no is it's a way of showing realms so it uses whatever creature that represents that realm when he says the fish of the sea does not mean fish are we together it means that domain then he talks of the birds of the air the air he talks of every living thing that moves upon the earth we are giving that jurisdiction satan is called the prince of the power of the air he's not
talking about this air is a spiritual location are we together now this is very important number two Matthew chapter 10 and verse 1 what is the believer given power over authority over let's examine from scripture and when he had called the 12 disciples to him he gave them power over help me on clean spirit you don't have power over every spirit no you don't have power over verify the spirit is on clean fast so that you stop commanding things anyhow I'm done you are embarrassed you are not given power over the spirits of men it's called manipulation because the spirits of men especially men in Christ are also holy spirits it's just that the holy spirit is the most holy spirit are you learning now we are defining jurisdiction you see
that sincere believers make mistakes and sometimes we command the holy spirit we command and sometimes God just moves because he knows our ignorance versus our sincerity of heart but it doesn't mean that what we are doing and saying is right no you are given power over before you ask you want that spirit to obey you verify it is on clean what it what makes it on clean it's rebellion against the laws of God are we together yeah do you know why you cannot call a human spirit on clean even if the man is not safe because he has an opportunity to be saved demons don't so it's been verified that they are on clean spirits there is no possibility of salvation for them but for a man who may be sold today he can be pulled tomorrow so even in that state the blood still advocates even until he steps into the experience of salvation I wish I had time this is
I promise you a charge I promise you a charge I'm I'm creating the stage for Pasadjari to come and then bless you I think if I do this I've done well tonight I would have helped someone with his understanding are we together oh let God arise and let my enemies be scattered no he never said your enemies he said his enemies hold on do you know what it means to be God's enemy let me define God's enemy for you whoever perpetually becomes a hindrance to the manifestation of his will including you becomes his enemy whoever becomes a perpetual hindrance to the manifestation of his will so before you pray that prayer you have to examine yourself that you are not praying against yourself when the captain of the of the Lord's army came to Joshua is it not in your bible he said are you
for us or against us and he said neither I don't work like that whoever is accomplishing the will of God for that moment even if he Cyrus becomes my ally as far as God is concerned you will be learning I'm going ahead of myself because that's where we're going to stop goodness we have power over creation we have power over unclean spirits are we still together number three we have power to change negative circumstances Matthew 827 we have power to change negative circumstances negative conditions as we see in the life of Jesus the bible says this was the wind and remember the the storm the boisterous storm at sea the bible says so when the then the man marvels saying who can this be that even the winds
and the sea obey him King James says what manner of man is this that even the winds and the waves obey him so we have power not just over animate things as we know we also have the power to manipulate with respect to the will of God even in animate things and conditions that is the reason why I can speak to a negative condition around your life it is not a life but it can still hear because it was created the elements that formed that problem where elements that God created for instance men for instance spirits are we together if a man decides to promote you the lack of promotion is a problem but it was caused by someone God created are we together now and if it becomes a hindrance to his will I'm able to declare by the spirit of God that that circumstance will change listen
if you understand this your spiritual life will be so powerful because you will know how to partner with the Holy Spirit you will be learning shortly that the Holy Spirit does not partner carelessly he verifies the will of God as the basis of his partnership if the will of God is not found in that program the Holy Spirit will not be part of it wow could it be why many prayers are not answered is it not in your Bible and this is the confidence that we have that when we ask anything according to his will not our desires are according to his will what is God's will whatever he says God's will is whatever he says because where the power of God is is where his voice and his word has gone to Genesis 21 and verse 1 and the Lord visited Sarah as he had said not as she wanted and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken if he has said it and he has spoken
that becomes the assignment of power I'm going ahead of myself but we need to understand the purpose of power any kind of power the assignment of power is to bring all things to the will of God that's it so before the power of God acts it has to first verify especially if it is corrective is that current condition the will of God if not it begins to change that person or change that situation until it becomes the will of God then it stops working you also know at what point the power of God stops working when the will of God is established that means if the will of God is not yet established in your life I assure you the power of God is still working are we learning now very profound fundamental spiritual truths this is how Jesus taught the disciples to have power he did not just give them power do you know the disaster they would have become
if the only thing that was from fishermen to impartation to commissioning the gospel would not cross one city he took out time this was what he was teaching them when they were now full of light then power came are we together that is the reason why when they are supposed to saw the damsel remember the damsel that had the spirit of divination he didn't actually he had to verify when I was the will of God or not it took time he needed to discern because he knew that the power of God does not act outside or against the will of God and when he discovered that even though her prophecy was right the spirit behind it was not of God he had the legitimate ground because we were giving power over unclean spirits is someone learning unclean spirits so if I see down
and I call for pastor's money whether I like it or not to come to me you see that there is a problem there it is not the money is the fact that stealing does not allow I will be together rather than same pastor's money will come to me here is what happens you call on the mystery of favor favor walks with his will that is an ingress in of the spirit God will make him like me are we together now and he will release it freely because in the kingdom even at the expense of your eternal destiny God does not force you to receive him there are people going to hell today in spite of the fact that they will be condemned forever God still respects their will they reject him and he says I respect you go to hell I respect you I mean go to hell fire not not go to hell as an insult are we together
I was on the rock what is the assignment of power and authority Matthew 6 and verse 10 I'm praying that someone got what I said tonight Matthew 6 and verse 10 let's read it together ready want to read thy kingdom come thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven this is why God gave us power every time you pray and fast and roll on the ground for power make sure you understand the scripture and confess it to otherwise your fasting will be a waste otherwise your praying will be a waste God does not respond to emotions and sentiments he responds to your understanding and the purity of your desire to achieve this goal so why do I come asking that God will impart more grace because I want to be equipped with the power and your authority that helps me to enforce his will on the earth what is his will I told you what he has said
what he has said there are many things God has said let me give you an example that you shall be the head and not the tail that is a statement that the power of God has been searching for who believes and who will come into partnership with that power to make happen if I come to you as a man of God and say the name of Jesus I declare you are the head I am in the wheel of flow freely on hindered to bring that word to pass are we together if I pray for your loved ones to be saved and I say father in the name of Jesus Christ we decree and declare by the anointing of the spirit of God that these ones will go everywhere in the name of Jesus Christ immediately watch this immediately the power of God because it is God's will that all men be saved every time you see abuse of power is because understanding of his purpose was not established if God gives me prophetic power
the ability to see now if God reveals pastor's account number for instance just as an example and then my lost partner with that power and I cannot prophesy the account and say on account of that we draw XYZ and sent to me I have abuse power why was it an abuse because the will of God was not establishing that program that means you can be anointed and yet your love life is not in place there is a reason why even faith works my love so even though we have the power to compromise but we constrain ourselves as proof that we love God and we administer power only within the jurisdiction of God's will listen if you notice as a man of God you will be excellent in your administering power you will see that God continues to back you up because your life and your ministry becomes so dexterous God knows that every time you show up it is to bless people every
time you show up it is that his will will be done are we together now so if the sick are healed it's more than just a verification that a man is anointed it is that his will has come to pass if God gives you revelatory power as a man of God and you now use it to open people up enlighten them bring them to an understanding like I'm bringing to you now are you seeing that now once your heart is committed listen it is one of the greatest secrets I learned in my work of power with God the moment your heart becomes packed at making the will of God to be manifest through your life you have truly entered a realm of genuine power economic power power manifest in us influence power for science and wonders are we learning now so many many believers desire power without authority God just give me power I don't know you I don't care about you I hear that you
can give men things that make and God says no the possibilities of the flesh in your life are too many to give you power unsupervised that is why he he he connected the power to your yieldedness look up look at me please are we learning spiritual power is tied to the yieldedness of the individual the degree to which you are yielded is what is responsible for the increase of power because that means that you are ready to subscribe to authority and to work within jurisdiction so when two people come and stand here and manifest different possibilities it is not because it's a different God are we together it is a reflection our differences even in administering spiritual power is a product of our yieldedness yieldedness someone can pray for someone on a wheelchair and nothing happens and another person may not even pray and then he rises off from the wheelchair
the difference is that degree of power that degree of presence which is a measure of the degree of yieldedness who is learning tonight hallelujah are you seeing that it is safe for many Christians to not have power that God's refusing to give certain people power is an act of his mercy for your sake because the possibilities that are locked up within them they will be a disaster to his program and even to your health if they have access to power without an understanding of authority today America and Europe with all due respect are battling a violation of this principle giving people access to power whether as guns are we together whether as the right to execute their will without authority it will always produce disaster economically
politically when you give people power and then do not give them authority I know someone who bought a car for uber boat no boat uber and then gave this guy to help him after many months the person did not bring any money he will give a flamsy excuse the tire spoiled this one spoiled and the man decided to buy something I can't remember the name you a tracker that's authority now it will force that driver to behave so the driver must be yielded returns not because he's a good man but now he has been forced by a system called a tracker are we together can I tell you you know how powerful you are in this kingdom to the degree to which you are constrained by authority you see independence in our world is proof of maturity the degree to which you do not need anybody however reverse is the case in the spirit that the
ones who are powerful and mightier the ones who are constrained by authority so the centurion said I am a man under authority and on account of that I have soldiers under me are we together I say to one go and he goeth to another come and he comeeth and he said Jesus speak the word only you need not come to my house because I know you are a man under authority I know the law of authority because you are you became a man Jesus only manifested authority when he became a man I told you God does not have authority but when God became a man he had to submit to the authority system too that was why I say reward for his submission God highly exalted him are we together now and gave him a name that is above every other name and gave him and gave him and gave him and gave him because he submitted and gave him
Hallelujah is someone learning so when you stand before spirits and you say in Jesus name I don't want to see you go while you are shouting they are just watching you do you know why they don't go I will tell you it's not just because you are more or less anointed no no I wish we had time I would have shown you how to use your authority I may not be able to cover that in this discussion maybe another time at least you know the jurisdiction now don't pray against the spirit of a man no you can ask God it is God who is called the father of spirits you know what that means he's the originator is the Greek word Patah the Hebrew is Abba the originator of all spirits that means it is within his power and with respect to him it is not illegal to manipulate any human spirit even if he's Pharaoh he will make Pharaoh to give his slaves gold the father of spirits for you
now it is this understanding that constructs your prayer life because one of the ways we execute power in the kingdom is in prayer are we learning now one of the ways we execute power in the kingdom is in prayer help me appreciate wasa jerry prayer is a platform that gives you the allowance to manifest spiritual power is someone learning this is very very powerful so you don't in prayer it is this understanding that constructs your prayer life because there is something called praying amiz
what makes prayer powerful is the what compliancy of that prayer what makes prayer listen carefully powerful is the what compliancy the degree to which that prayer aligns with the word of God because I told you God's power only follows what he says are we learning yeah so when you see prayer producing results it is because the word of God has been connected to that prayer and it will commit God's power to bring to pass what is important to understand so we've been given power over elemental forces the sea the air the earth are we together now this is very powerful there are certain there are certain dimensions of power that was given to all men not believers for instance a farmer does not
need to be a christian to draw the power of God that is deposited in the earth I told you that there are three levels of God's power the highest dimension of God's power is attracted to intimacy you must encounter him to have that dimension of power the second dimension of power is hidden in principles it is not relational it it is a function of light are we together if you know it whether as a businessman whether as a politician you can build a great nation even do a godless nation like Babylon God respected the building of Babylon they use his very power to build something that was against his will I had the nation of Israel as anointed as they were they could not build anything till David arrived you read the story they had encountered what they did not understand the power is trying in principles on it was David that gives stability and establishment to God's people
how on over unclean spirits verify that the spirit is unclean before you review it there are many many spirits that are clean a human spirit saved or unsafe cannot be called an unclean spirit because Jesus died for everyone and there is hope for him that is joined to the living that means a man who is sold today can become poor tomorrow so you still cannot reduce the man even though he's unsafe you can only pray for his salvation unclean spirits are spirits that have been verified by God's verdict that there is no salvation for them it is for such that when you administer the power of God in the name in the name of Jesus they leave I give you power over clean spirits are we following find somewhere to wrap up now then you have power like I said over situations and circumstances
and now it is I told you that everything that has to do with the administration of power please do not forget this is with respect to the will of God because if someone is saying rain stop and another person say Lord send rain I need to eat you see that there are two people who are in conflict so I am praying right now and say father please bring rain in portacol this year I must eat my children will not die of hunger if another person say Lord let rain stay because I'm anointed Ascension those things are the one that will be answered is not the one who prays more it is the one who partners with the will of God for that moment everything in the kingdom revolves with the sphere of the will of God if you remove the will of God out his power has no ministry the assignment of the power of God is to bring all things into his will are we together the moment you are outside of the will of God the power of God has no ministry it is the reason why the power
follows the word because the word of God is the clearest revelation of his will so before I pray for the sick there must be an understanding I don't need to recite it to his hearing is a consciousness what is the basis of that present getting healed is it consistent with the will of God that is how I know not by feelings I don't have to feel anointed this is an issue of integrity here so I know that it is God's desire for that man to be healed and now I can pray for that person believing that the power of God will follow his will can I tell you many believers have their lives in shambles because they do not respect the will of God so they cannot see the power of God they are fasting against the will of God they are praying against the will of God it seems Jesus said father let me show you Jesus the greatest manifesto of the power of God if he be thy will all he said take this cup of me it says nevertheless because if I find myself in this alignment
to your will I can no longer be called the word of God I hope he knew he was tempted in every way so he could have lost that status as the word of God he was not just called the word of God because he was a warning candidate it was because he ensured that his life was always in sync with the will of God now he had a chance to be thinking differently from what God wanted to do but he said nevertheless not my will what yours be done nevertheless in fact here's what he said my meat is to do the will of him that sent me and finish it can I tell you the greatest people who will manifest the power of God in this end time are those who will pay the price to know the will of God looking for powers useless until you understand the will of God because the assignment of the power of God is to bring all things into the will of God then to execute the will of God to make it happen Hallelujah is it God will for me to prosper I check from scripture if that is true then I know
for a fact that there must be a dimension of his power allocated for bringing that will to pass it is now my assignment to find out I'm not in doubt it is no longer will God bless me it is finding out how every time listen out there to we have time I have to give us a general room to come and preach but let me teach you something the moment the will of God is about to come to pass in your life watch this the power of God will also depend on the wisdom of God if the wisdom of God is not revealed the power of God cannot work accurately watch this please listen to me it is the wisdom of God that guides the operation of the power of God to make it manifest profitably the Bible says to the Greeks Christ is revealed Christ the anointing is revealed as the wisdom of God and the power of
God so when God wants to help a man to truly walk in power even if you pray for power alone is two things that were arrived in your life power and wisdom wisdom is what gives value to the correct use of power are we together now because the dynamics of operating power is that until you have wisdom you cannot let me show you then we pray efficiency after two please give us from verse 16 Paul is praying let's see the content of his prayer efficient chapter one in fact verse 16 one chapter one please efficient one and verse 16 can you give it to us thank you he says I cease not he's praying now to give thanks for you make him mention of you in my prayers what is the content of the prayer 17 help us media that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ watch this the father of glory may give
on to you what is the first thing that whole Johnny will end in power but he said you would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him next verse please the eyes of your understanding been enlightened that he may know what is the hope of his calling number one number two what is the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints shout for street together please ready want to read and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us word who believe according to the working of his mighty power the Bible says according as his divine power have given us all things that pertain on to life and godliness but the administration is through the knowledge alleluia wisdom the wisdom of god is very powerful many people have prayed for power but they have not prayed for wisdom so they have the power
but then they are not able to manifest power and authority because there is no wisdom do you know that even if elixir elixir prayed over the woman remember the woman in her second kings now alleluia the wife of the sons of the prophet do you know that even though he prayed for high fiat spoken prophetically over her and there was no wisdom she still would have remained in that it was the prophetic word that made her to even go and find vessels to borrow in the first place if he did not prophesy nobody would give her any vessel it was not a product of her creativity and then she comes and he gives her a strategy that is wisdom now I've released power of for multiplication but the power depends on vessels capacity you see this is the reason why those who are not enlightened if you impact power over them they will look like their fake because the use of the power is not with wisdom have you seen somebody with all due respect manifest
power and somehow you are there is no wisdom gives beauty to the use of power are we together now yes it is the mistake if you study the history of the church in Nigeria this was the mistake many fathers with all due respect to them some dead and have gone to be with the Lord they prayed and they access power but many of them did not access wisdom through the word so they in administering power they brought many things that were prophetic experiences and made doctrine out of them because wisdom was not there to separate personalized dealings and things that were doctrines are we learning now so when you have the power of God and you have the wisdom of God you will manifest dominion and authority intelligently in a way and a manner that brings glory to the name of the Lord let me do a recap and then we pray
number one we define power as the capacity to influence outcomes we define power as the force that compels compliance number two we define authority as the right to represent the legitimacy to use power that if you do not have authority the use of your power is illegal as seen in the case of a military man and an ambrabah an ambrabah has power but he lacks authority why because there is no the institution that authorized him is not there cannot be identified and the jurisdiction for the use of his rifle is also not there i told you that authority is always jurisdictional and that jurisdiction is defined as a sphere the sphere where the use of power is allowed beyond which it becomes illegal i need to recap one last time on very strong points that i made for your understanding number one
that man does not have absolute power no he cannot have absolute power because his power is derived are we together only god has absolute power and in fact i did say that he is the owner of all power that's what makes him omnipotent is an attribute of god that he did not share with man i forgot to tell you that it's not everything in god's nature that he gave man we are partakers of his divine nature but not every aspect of his nature there are dimensions of his nature he withdrew from man that's what makes him god his omnipresence his omniscience and his omnipotence these are the three attributes of god that brought him in the class all by himself man did not receive that one are we together this is very important then remember many of you were surprised when i made the statement that god does not have authority god cannot have authority
the nature of authority i remind you is that an authority a person higher than you must confide upon you no god only manifested authority in jesus and that is because he became a man so we see him submit to john submit to see me on the prophet another prophetess are we together now because he was a pattern man a model for the believer as to how he will be working in authority he even said my father is greater than i yet we understand the triune nature but god cannot have authority if god has authority he must be loyal to someone i also told you that god cannot obey it's not an ability that he has who will he obey now obedience is not a quality that god possesses he cannot obey no to obey means someone outside yourself must give you the instruction and there is no man who can instruct him god does not obey and this is i wish i had time i would have taught
you i think is a mistake that people have made in the body of christ they command god and sometimes we say statements like we need to give god permission in the end and i understand what sometimes preachers are trying to say but it's not exactly true no man gives god permission what he does is partnership is not permission if god does not seek your will and still does something he's still right because the ecstasy is still his own are we together now yes he limited himself to allow man taste of the power of revealing his glory but when he walks with man it is not weakness it is allowing man to share in he that glory are we together so he said if all men refuse to praise me i can't ignore them and raise up stones and it is not illegal so if i want to pray for the sick now and god wants the sick to come and i don't pray and it looks like the sick are not is not that god is limited is that he has bound himself to give man an opportunity to experience
his glory also but it is within his exclusive ability to do anything without the permission of man because he has power without authority the person who has power without authority also does not have jurisdiction for the use of that power because god is not defined by any jurisdiction to the point that Paul talks about the possibility of testing of the power of the ages to come who owns that man are we together god is not restricted by time by dimensions he can go into your yesterday or tomorrow and he can bless you and speak over your life i told you that one of the reasons why we believe god is not just that he has integrity is because he's the only one who can speak like that there is no other person higher than him to contend with him so if you disbelief god it is proof that you suspect he's a liar that somewhere there is someone
higher than him and he's not telling you the truth Hallelujah going to pray many believers do not understand the jurisdiction of their power so we pray and we say all kinds of things and they never get answered there is intelligence to the use of power i didn't have the time to teach you on how the believer executes power because there is it we are given a code of conduct are we together there are rules of engagement for instance when you see a habal is there is a way he's trained to use power he can look at you and say bring chicken bring this bring that now the believer does not act like that there is a way we release the power of god and one of the platforms i told you earlier on is in prayer mark 11 24 what things so ever he desire when he pray believe that thou receive us them
and thou shall have the number two is by the use of the name we can spend all night talking about that the use of the name of Jesus is not the recitation of the name the power is not in the recitation the recitation only makes creation know that he is the one we are talking about the use of the name of Jesus is first a consciousness of his exalted position Jesus never had to use his name to say in my name he only said in my name when he was talking to the disciples so you can say in Jesus name and you did not use the name of Jesus it is not the recitation no otherwise the name will be a genius on chance somewhere it is a consciousness a consciousness the name is a capture of the office that has been given to him now are we together when you say Jesus his name was not even Jesus i hope you know that yes so when you say Jesus demons are not I mean the J E S U S you are talking about he did not
exist many years ago in that form if you go to Israel and say Jesus they will correct you because the number one they will say your pronunciation is wrong and now begin to argue about the person you are talking about there are footballers that carry this name you call your name and see where demons go so it's not I'm not saying don't use Jesus I hope you get what I'm saying when we say Jesus we are letting creation know that the force behind the results is the one exalted as lord and Christ but the name Jesus is not a person's name the owner of that name today has an office it is that office that the power comes from because demons can call Jesus to but they do not understand the power of the office the Bible says and every knee will bow of things in earth under the earth and confess that Jesus has now become lord that is the name the name is his lordship it's an office of dominion the earth is the why do you call me lord lord the moment you come
to a revelation of his lordship you have found the key to the name it's not the pronunciation of his earth walk the name Jesus was a name that was given to him he would have been anybody Joshua you would have been a venisa you would have anything at all are we together so when demons see you and say in Jesus name they look behind the speakings because the damsel said these are men who came to she was saying everything right but he was by a familiar spirit so when we say in Jesus name we are saying that name so that for us and those who hear us we know that the the one whose office were invoking is the one they know as Jesus but it is a consciousness and when demons know you carry that consciousness of being exalted number one your oneness with Christ number two your positional advantage not just that is great but that you are exalted with him now then your shadows can heal the shadows do not call the name of Jesus but the authority that is behind that name
we have to stop rise up on your feet can we pray for a minute or two go ahead lift your voice and pray given authority in Christ capacity to exact dominion of one creation go ahead and pray upon your life I have authority I have power I understand the jurisdiction of my authority I understand the use of the power that the assignment of power is to burn the wheel and the purposes of God someone is praying are you praying for the next one minute
what manner of man is this that even the wings and the waves obey him what manner of man is this I have power and I have authority the legitimacy to use that power over creation against unclean spirits over situations and circumstances Hallelujah one more prayer point and then I just speak over you and we are done remember now you have power and you have authority there is no fear to the one who has authority because the institution that confided upon you defends you and if need be the validates that you are not using it illegitimately are we together now yes it is God that gave you power and he gave you authority and jurisdiction so when you speak over your life and creation and they refuse to obey it is not
your business again the one who conferred your authority upon you for his namesake their heart his integrity when they disobey you and his first to now use his absolute power without authority and first creation to hear you are you ready to speak over your destiny now now you know that you can speak and pray without fear why because you have power and you have authority and remember the modus operandi is that all your speaking must be consistent with the wheel of God what is the wheel of God he's thought revealed in what he said Genesis 21 1 the Lord visited Sarah as he has said he didn't to Sarah as he has spoken so everything you know that God has said concerning you I call them exceeding great and precious promises the Bible says that by them we might be the partakers of his divine nature haven't escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust in one minute working on borrowed time go ahead and declare over your destiny do not be silent inside outside online go ahead and begin to pray declare the Lord is my light and my salvation of whom shall I be afraid of the Lord is the strength of my life in the name of Jesus the head and not the tail exalted above the nations of the earth someone is making declarations remember you have authority remember you have power remember you are prayed within the jurisdiction of your authority you are prayed consistent with the wheel of God there is a government above you that insists that creations are constant your destiny becomes obedient they can be need to pray the favor of God working in my life doors are opening by the spirit no we put a shot against me shall prosper and every talk that rises up against me falls in
judgment in the name of Jesus I go forward I work strong by the spirit of the living Lord his wisdom is at work in my life his power is at work in my life is someone declaring in one minute the year ends in victory for me thanks be to God which causes me to triumph always and this is the victory that overcomment the world even my faith in the name of Jesus Christ creation aligns himself to walk out the purposes of God in my life man walking partnership with the spirit of grace walking out the purposes of God in my life in the name of Jesus everything I taught is blessed blessed by the spirit of God in Jesus my name we pray in Jesus name we pray but surgery let me borrow one minute from your time and just make a note I believe that until men
encounter Jesus in truth there is no possibility for walking in true power it is impossible that in a crowd of thousands of people here inside outside following online there will always because the Bible says the Lord are dead daily not just as many as should be transformed they first have to be saved because his desire is first that all men be saved then that they come into the knowledge of the truth I believe that there's someone here you came to church tonight you are inside here you're outside and you're saying a possible hearing you speak I am that one person who has only used his power invested in principles without a relationship with the son of the living God he came to Nicodemus and he said in John 3 and 16 for God so love the world that he gave his one and only begotten son that who so ever believed on him should not perish but have life everlasting 17 says for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might
be saved here is your chance tonight remember at the detriment of your eternal salvation your eternal your eternity God allows you to choose two groups in one the first is someone who is saying I have never truly consciously made Jesus long of my life number two the second is saying a puzzle I love Jesus and but here and there my life has gone a wire and I need to rededicate my life I'm only looking for one sincere person who would not lie to himself or herself I don't need everybody one sincere person I begin to count one to five all of the overflows you may do well to just move to your screams and those who are in here may I request with Galancian honor make your way to the front I begin to count one let's celebrate them as they come two thank you thank you for your courage win that war tonight once and for all come to Jesus
