discussing about different aspects that enable us to see the supernatural manifest in the natural world and we looked at a couple of keys so far one was to know that we are part of two worlds so understanding the bearing of the spiritual realm on the natural realm how we can actually see changes in the natural realm when we apply the principles of the spiritual realm okay so I'm just reminded I'll you know go back to our main subject but I just want to share some examples also they're not in a rush to complete you know one key second key third key but the whole point is that we get a grasp or a hold of these truths and that each one of us is able to walk in what has been offered to us by God through his word and the work of his Holy Spirit so we said first key understanding the realm of the spirit then you know the second key which we touched upon was faith okay we saw how that is important so maybe I will you know share some practical examples from my experience and a little bit on the first key and then again touch on the second key some more and then move on to the third key which is the power of the word of God so about this spiritual realm having a bearing on the natural realm so recently recently I had this one person who told me that there was a lot of strife going on okay in their family so it was challenging you know it's so difficult right like somebody to go back to a home where there is a lot of quarrelling and confusion and accusation blaming so all these things were going on okay and I was aware of it and I just you know began to pray about it and also had asked others to pray regarding this matter and one of them knew this issue they were also praying and they shared with me when they were praying they got a scripture that scripture was from Isaiah 60 and verse 18 so I'll just read maybe the NIV version it says no longer will violence be heard in your land nor ruin or destruction within your borders but you will call your walls salvation and your gates raised so can you imagine such an appropriate scripture gave to this person they were praying about this matter and you know they began to declare this particular scripture began to pray through this particular scripture time and again time and again and what I heard is that somehow the situation in that home is somewhat better now we do understand that you know there is a responsibility which the family members have to take up also to work out their differences you know in a very very practical way learn to work together so that aspect is there however from the spiritual side what has happened through prayer through you know the declaration of this you may want to call it the Reema word you know that one person got to this matter is the whole you know the fighting the confusion just the spirit of strife is is withheld while people are able to think more calmly and able to discuss matters so you see how in everyday life in ministry in you know in in in our walk we have to see the realm of the supernatural override the realm of the natural and no we have a lot of understanding about the things and the principles of of the kingdom of God and we have to apply it okay I'm encountering this situation what do I know no God how do I see you know if you can imagine like a dark room and you put a light on and the light beams come through that one bulb so God's kingdom is like that the spiritual kingdom of our God is like that in each scenario we can ask God God how can your light shine in this matter which is shared an example that I recently you know went encountered about strife and all that but you know maybe somebody is sick okay and we are brain for them we can say God how can you light shine so that is what these old keys are about which key can I use so we are learning so that we can apply and we can see you know God walking in situation so that was the first key to understand that there is a supernatural spiritual realm and I can have the bearing on the natural realm okay the second key which we touched upon was faith okay so we'll talk little more about faith today and I'll see you know if we can move to the next key of the word of God or any investment idea so we said that Jesus taught about faith and he he was the one who said if you believe you will see the glory of God so for me to see the supernatural take place I need faith in my heart without faith miracles don't happen without faith you know the the works of God in you know according to his proportion those things don't happen we end up being limited to our own finite thinking and what is possible in our minds okay so I missed just now we had the first-year class very we're talking about the prayer of asking and receiving so asking and receiving in between is one believing me that's what Jesus taught us to do isn't it Matthew 21 22 in Mark 11 24 what I want to ever things you desire whatever things do you want you ask believing and you will receive it you will have them so that's the manner in which we've been taught for us to have answers to prayer we must ask but how do we ask faith that's what Jesus was telling the sisters Marta Mary if you believe you will see the glory of God so coming to a place of faith is very important without faith you know we we will not be able to see the manifestation of God's power in our midst we saw how even somebody who was outside of the covenant that came tonight woman in Matthew 15 28 she received a miracle she received a miracle because it's as a faith has a pool on God's heart persistence you know sometimes we think persistence minus the faith just keep asking keep asking me and you know God will do it it doesn't work like that faith pleases God scriptures tell us so faith has a tug on God's heart and therefore we must carry faith in our hearts and it is true faith that we will see God's intervention whether it is in our own lives or in the lives of people around us so to have faith regarding you could say regarding even now what I what I just said you know let's say a matter of confusion in the family or the home okay you when you have faith and you pray and you have faith and you release that by declaring the word faith and you know you take action yes everything is going to be okay God will help us what happens begins to take place there is a change that you can see because you're moving forward from a place of faith where there is faith you know God's intervention can be seen so I just want to share let's say one more example that all these are like recently you know that I have heard and experienced and I'm excited about so this also happened I think maybe two weeks ago that I had visited you know somebody's home from you know some of the people who attend church and we had a usual you know some particular prayer for which they're called so I went there the prayer was over and there was some type of interaction and during that time the lady of the home told me passing remember you had come for some prayer to my home this was at least I think three or four years ago so that prayer do you know you had prayed for my neighbors okay I didn't remember also like so long ago is it okay tell me what happened so she said I wanted to tell you she just couldn't get the opportunity so the lady one of the people we was that I prayed for her marriage was falling apart and she was in a lot of page she was very good she just something exactly gathering and they had told okay pastor is coming so if anybody wants prayer she prays but just that I can recall that day when I went I went to a lot of faith I was like God your spirit needs to minister to these people especially those who don't know you so I am going to fully pray whatever they come to us I'm going to pray and I also recently I know you also have this whole teaching about the spirit and also I was there for the manifestation of the kids of the spirit and I was praying that all my giving words of knowledge so I only remember that I had gone with a lot of faith and I was ministering with the kids of the spirit lady and that is it I never met her nothing I just prayed for God to restore her marriage for God to minister to her you know in that place where she's and you know my church person she told me from that day things in her home began to change and apparently now it's been whatever three to four years they they're not accepted Christ or anything but her marriage got restored she is living with her husband her child and they are attending a church close by because you know they are so happy with Jesus they're so interested in Jesus you know something within them has awakened faith for God in their lives and I was amazed to hear this okay not that you know how did this happen no we know God works right but I was just thinking that I could recall the way in which I went there and I just had that faith that day that God you are going to minister to the people who come here and you know it was a simple prayer I don't even know what words I prayed that day but you know to see that God has answered and it's a very serious situation isn't it that family has come together and they want to seek God so recently when I heard these updates I told you know this lady of the house that okay we need to build them up in God's world this is how we can do it but you know don't push them but you see they're willing to come meet with us so faith does the impossible and that's my lesson that's my takeaway I've been so blessed to know that God he can move when we go with faith and remember in the last class one of you was asking about how we minister and we had discussed so much about you know the faith of the person who's receiving but I said that we need to first of all have faith then we are ministering okay so we have to minister by faith so can somebody read Galatians 3 3 I'm just you know going over her last week's class with some more examples just to make it concrete you can find these references in the notes that I have posted on Google Classroom Galatians 3 3 Galatians chapter 3 yes are you so foolish after beginning with the spirit are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort okay thank you thank you jeffina I think you which translation is that I NIV okay so we'll just look at the NKJV version also NKJV yes yes yes are you so foolish having begun in the spirit are you now being made perfect by the flesh all right so you see beginning in the spirit okay so how is that possible so basically what Paul was trying to minister to the Galatians here is he was saying that see now you have come to believe in God and it's a matter of faith and they were trying to still be in the flesh okay and do things outside of faith just by by you know things like circumcision and all so he rebukes them he says where is your faith you first began with faith with God and now you're going back to rituals and activities and performances you know as far as you walk with the Lord is concerned but you need to continue with faith okay so even here we see how Paul ministered to people and he laid the emphasis not on the works but on faith so he wanted the people to carry on in faith so minister he ministered through the works of the spirit and he did not want them to have any independence on the works of the flesh okay so in the same manner for us today people must be encouraged to walk with God from a place of faith not from a place of okay you know do this do that and similarly when it comes to us ministers of God or I'm just saying ministers of God for all of us okay all of us in the ministry in the name of God firstly we have to be established in that place of faith okay it's not a place of the flesh our works but it's a place of faith where we are convinced what is faith faith is this kind of deep conviction which we have based on the word of God okay so the word of God and through the word of God the will of God has been revealed to us the will of God has been revealed to us so when the God is revealed we have a strong sense of you know knowing that yes God is going to do it so that is faith we must have faith that God is who he says he is that yes God is a hero yes God is a miracle walker yes God is a provider okay so when I have faith in all this then personally I can receive from God or I can minister to others but if I myself I'm in a place of doubt I'm not sure whether you know God will heal everyone or not or you know whether he'll heal only the people who are the senior or people from this government so when I have all these things unclear in my mind and I'm not I'm not arrived to a place of faith it becomes very difficult you're no longer you know dependent on works of flesh or things like that so to carry on carry on with faith and similarly for us who serve in the name of God we have to be in that place when we minister to the people it's only then that we will be able to see the supernatural in the natural so does it mean to say you know there will be absolutely no doubts no there is a possibility for us to have you know some questions or some concerns some doubt some confusion but we have to come to a place of faith and even in the last class I remember we discussed about how you can spend time in the word of God regarding that matter and over time our faith is built up our responsibility I need to come to that place of faith so personally what I do is you know I do study right regarding different matters for example I just said gifts of the spirit so believing God for the gifts of the spirit to manifest through me and administering so I personally study okay I read you have so many you know APC publications also like understanding the prophetic gifts of the spirit baptism in the holy spirit so just spending time and reading these publications very helpful okay meditating on those scriptures but also to build up my own faith what I also do is we have something called as weekend schools at APC so I remember I've attended several weekend schools even when it comes to gifts of the spirit itself I have attended so many weekend schools the reason is when I went for the first weekend school there was one exercise and in that exercise you know Pastor had said something like okay pray can you send Scott speaking to you can you see something and I had I couldn't okay and I was so upset I was like why is it that I'm not able to see this but then I realized that faith comes by hearing the operation of the gifts of the spirits is by faith and how will faith come faith will come by the hearing of the word so the attending you know couple of more weekend schools on the same subject again and again and again little by little little by little little by little what happens faith comes and then when faith comes there is the operation of the kings of the spirit so in that way we must minister from a place of faith okay build our own personal faith I gave the example of gifts of the spirit but it could be healing maybe we don't have that kind of faith I will tell you one more incident in my own life this was I think sometime in 2018 yes 18 where like my father was at that time so I was meditating on a lot of scriptures for healing and my faith was really you know being built up I was also listening to some of the old-time ministers of God and their stories of healings so one particular minister of God I was listening to the audio books and it was really powerful really powerful some of the incidents that had taken place in his life and it had built up so much faith in me strangely on that day when I was in the hospital somebody from church called him and to my abasement her son was very unwell okay young son very unwell and he had this fever which had not stopped I think for months and they had put him in a like an isolated place you couldn't everyone couldn't go there you needed special permission to enter and they gave it a name certain kind of fever so she called it she was desperate she was like you come and pray and I really wanted to go and pray and I was like where are you but where are you she said this hospital this floor and I was shocked because it was in the same hospital as my dad so my dad was recovering and this particular person was on another floor so I told her okay give me the time when will they let them visit us she said okay you can come but you have to wear this you have to wear this I said everything is fine just tell me so I went that day and they didn't give much time so I just I was anyway filled with faith because of the work that I was meditating on and all the the you know the testimonies which I had been hearing so I just went there and the aim of Jesus it was not a long very short play I just said I rebuke this fever in Jesus no that child's name you will recover your body will recover and something miraculous happens this fever which had continued for so long it just stopped okay not at that moment but eventually even the next one and a half days or something like that slowly it went away they got discharged and the child this happened 2018 right I told you 2018 so till now it continues to be in touch it hasn't record it's not record so she tells me it's miraculous it's miraculous how you were in the same place you came and prayed and you know this stopped but for me personally it was a learning I was like wow faith in those moments I was just like where is the fever where is the sickness let's attack it in Jesus name I was in that mode and the timing was just right she called and I said wait I'm coming now okay so but faith is built up I personally have seen in my life things happen which later when I looked at I'm like wow how did that happen obviously it can't be me but faith in us it couldn't happen anybody else also but faith in us when we go with faith and we minister with faith supernatural things begin to take place in people's lives so always you know to make that place of faith personally and last week we also said that it's important to establish people in faith so because when they dwell in faith that they can receive so how will they receive you know how will their faith be built up they also need the word there's only one way right you can get faith faith by hearing and hearing by the word of God so continue to speak the word to them continue to share the word to them so for example again just going back to the example of healing speaking and teaching people about healing you know what happens after reviving when they encounter sickness their first response is wait a minute God said in his word I'm the God who heals you by the stripes of Jesus I'm healed so I'm amazed to actually look at some of the people who you know I have been journey with that some point in their lives they were not that believing but now through the teaching of the word they come to a place where the fuck their response is okay let's pray you know this is happening okay let's pray even little children there is this one child her age would have been I think four years or something and she had fractured her leg and I visited the home the first thing she tells me you can imagine you know four-year-old child what would they do they are you know facing some difficulty she told me pastor please pray put your hands and pray just think about this faith you know has come and you know this age we don't have her classes we don't have like a children's church curriculum and all but just be around the parents during the services and hearing who Jesus is what he can do there is faith in their hearts one child I remember he said he went back home at that point we were talking about God's guidance and in the sermon there was a part where we talked about the angels of God so the mother told me during the week that she was talking to her son and said okay you're going you have to be careful I want you to be safe and so the son again he was not part of children's church he was just roaming around some of the small kids right parents will be carrying them so he told his mom mama don't worry angels are there they will guard them because he heard it in the sermon okay so he's got the faith that God is a God who protect me if it's going to take angels to guard he'll do it so depending on the what a God building people up in faith in God's word regarding various matters whether it is faith for their finances the faith for their healing faith for the restoration of their marriage faith for you know fulfilling the purpose of God for their life faith for a direction in their life whatever it is when we speak the word into them impart the word into them faith will arise begin to see that oh everyone's going places because faith has now come and they're able to receive from the supernatural well into their own life so we need to teach people build them up in the world and teach people how to receive by faith also that patients are important element as I was just saying from heart and soul it's a type of faith that we need to declare happens tomorrow that's what if you can see here I think the other side will be here okay so you can share me I'll continue Zellie can I continue or is it unclear it's okay it's okay okay okay so we've understood that you know faith needs to be built up people to be equipped to receive by faith teach people how to walk by faith so you see when it comes to faith again one more recently all these things have happened recently only so I'm just sharing it as a practical input for us at least three three or four people they have loved ones and they themselves have been unwell so there are mainly some days that I've laid hands and prayed for these people but you know they were sharing how they're not you know the the fever went away the issue went away but it has record so they were like pastor pray so how many times can I pray you know it's not that I don't want to pray but what would be the best way I will pray for them but I need to build them up with God's word I gave them a couple of resources from our website also and told them okay why don't you meditate on the sermon series it's about he didn't deliver this this and that reason is to build up their faith then they themselves can see from God okay so that is one thing but I wasn't sure how far someone fairly knew the faith also so I don't know how far they go and you know pull out a chapter and read it so to simplify it what I did is I pulled out a bunch of scriptures and I wrote out a prayer how to pray okay do you have any father this this this then space for scripture insert scripture okay you personalize it and say thank you that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit thank you that you know you're given me wholeness and so I wrote out the whole prayer and gave a section there where they can input the verse and speak it over either themselves or their children or their parents some three or four people who are going through so for all of them I just wrote it down these are the bunch of scriptures this is the kind of prayer because they probably don't even know how to declare and pray so I sent it to them I said you do one thing you take a different scripture every day and you put it there you speak it out you pray like that okay so now they started doing it all right so what is the intention one is that through the scriptures their faith will build up I've told them also try to meditate on maybe just one verse every day just meditate on that one verse and think about it what Jesus has done for us and then release that faith speak declare it because God's word says he's healer you know I receive his healing in the name of Jesus you release your faith by your confession by your definition so what's happening we want to train equip so every time somebody is sick they can work in faith for themselves because one is they carry the word in their heart and they know how to use the faith right take it through by declaring it okay by meditating what I've got so in in these ways personally to build up faith to build up the faith of people around okay all this becomes very very crucial if you want to see the manifestation of the supernatural so first we've said in the last class that God responds to faith most of the miracles we see Jesus doing it's only like when somebody comes and says okay heal my daughter say a word or have mercy on me son of David so they had faith that they reached out and they got their miracle but there are two times when and these are exceptions normally through faith to receive but there are exceptions when people receive without reached out to God or Jesus with faith like that man at the pool of bedside or Lazarus who was dead what faith does he have right so God can still work sometimes even when there is no faith and even when let's say faith has not been built up through the normal way which I told us give them the word teach them the word build up even with that God can actually work I'm sure you know we've had experiences I remember there were times when I never really believed in healing that much but a friend of mine told me about something that she was healed of some skin condition and that gave me some faith to ask God for healing you know with regard to I had some breathing issues but I actually saw that resolve so as you tell my classmates I can college that hey breathing God healed me because really there was a huge difference the way I used to be and how it had become back then so maybe there are times when you really don't build people up but still somehow they receive a testimony and that brings them a little bit of faith in their hearts or sometimes in the presence of God I heard this one testimony that a minister of God was sharing that during worship apparently there was a man who had severe neck pain due to some I don't remember exact details due to an accident or something like that so he had severe pain in neck pain and due to worship something happened he felt something hot and it just you know resolved on its own so after the service he came and asked the preacher he said do you serve coffee in your services so is it no we don't serve coffee he's what you're telling me somebody poured hot coffee on my neck suddenly in the middle of the service I felt somebody dropped their coffee I felt hot at first and then you know my neck pain was gone so then the preacher said oh I didn't even share God's word but what's happening even in the presence of the glory without really taking the normal route you know what I'm telling you teach the word equip yourself equip the people then the miracle but sometimes in the presence of the glory things will start happening like you'll be like wait a minute I didn't even call it out I didn't even suggest but God's presence no there is power there was power to be healed you know scriptures tell us in book when Jesus was there ministering to the people power was present so sometimes regardless of the faith with which people come healings can take place miracles can take place right even in the presence of God and that's why the last class I was telling us the we must encourage people don't wait for me to call out the healing don't wait just worship the Lord even just walking around the road on any expert all the time God can work anytime and encounter with the Lord supernatural encounter with the Lord that also can release some miracle that we've been waiting for so it can happen any which way God God we surely teach in the word form when we when we study what we do with the drop God maybe those things are what faith to receive in the presence of the glory or so you see just through the presence of God or so we can these things happen through the work of the Holy Spirit so just so so that kind of uh intervention for the people on to this very important and same thing for us also to expect but you can understand anytime and that exception who we can have for the law just well to have to break it down what I'm just telling you about the key points that I today it was more of a practical instance that I experienced so any thoughts comments so please so far we've touched understanding the spirit the spirit realms is faith I hope we have some understanding for a whip of these thoughts the beautiful thing about faith is not work anyone all right uh and so yeah I just have to I couldn't be so I think faith is a last subject we have touched on it in our first year course but obviously by uh testimonies of complications where everybody takes it from God so if you're a pastor minister that's a very good place to be where we build people up to such an extent that it's no longer just about the pastor like the whole church and such an environment of faith is an environment where you do music so that is kind of church so you got to see more of the supernatural and faith most definitely is one of those things and most of the God how awesome it is to have faith in you God help us to develop this in each and every day help us to go deeper and help us to equip ourselves with word and then we preach this word to others thank you so much for giving us such an authority because of what you did on the cross Jesus and God we really stand in awe and wonder of the words that you're doing you're beyond the imagination we just couldn't understand that you're amazing you're loved to us this is amazing like even on those times you mean except nothing you always want to care for us always want to do something for us you always want to want us to live a happy life in you whatever you may say thank you Jesus let this gospel that we are understanding not stay with us help us to be bold enough and go out and preach this gospel so that we can make heaven crowded so that people can see you and they can live an amazing life down here on this earth and they can also live a happy life in heaven we thank you Jesus we stand we really stand in awe you're amazing we love you we praise you and we give you all the glory I bless Pastor Nancy and each and every one who has joined in this class help us to develop faith and we let this faith work through us and do amazing things don't Jesus name me thank you thank you thank you everyone God bless you have a great week we will connect again next Wednesday so bye for now
