Genesis 2:7, 1:26

⭕️Man was never supposed to be independent of God, he is supposed to be dependent on God like a fish depends on water.

⭕️Every time a man is independent of God, he will have nothing of God around his life.

⭕️Man’s environment for living the right way is in God.

⭕️Christianity is surrendering yourself to God, and you living to please Him through the ability He gives you by His Spirit.

⭕️Everything that brings us closeness to God and consciousness of God is something beautiful. These things include going to church, studying the word of God for yourself, and prayer.

Genesis 17:1

⭕️If a man does not get to his secret place, he will not know what he needs to deal with.

Isaiah 6:5

⭕️The presence of God has a way that it makes you conscious of your imperfections.

⭕️Without the presence of God you will be living anyhow.

⭕️If you live anyhow, you have no power.

⭕️If you are walking before someone it means that person is observing you and you are conscious that you are being observed.

⭕️God wants a relationship with you.

⭕️Out of the relationship with God comes all those good things.

⭕️If you haven’t read your bible and prayed in the morning, don’t eat breakfast because you haven’t yet woken up.

⭕️The sign that you have woken up is that you have talked to your maker.

⭕️Christianity is a dependent life.

Deuteronomy 8:1

⭕️How you behave and react is an overflow of your relationship with God.

⭕️Don’t trust anybody who doesn’t pray, no matter how good their intentions because satan can use them at any time.

⭕️You are a tripartite (3 in 1) being.

⭕️When you say you want to pray, the first enemy you will face is your flesh and you have to defeat it.

⭕️When your spirit is not empowered, you can’t have rule over your flesh.

⭕️You live and multiply by the word of God.

Zechariah 1:3-6

⭕️What will you achieve if you are repeating the mistakes of your fathers?

⭕️How you are living is your legacy.

⭕️People will remember you for two things: the problems you solved and the problems you created.

⭕️If you don’t have the life of God, what life do you have?

⭕️If you can’t walk with your maker, when you die who will you meet?

⭕️Who you are pursuing now is an indication of who you are going to spend eternity with.

⭕️Let us follow our maker.

⭕️All these other things we are chasing will break our hearts.

⭕️We don’t pray because we have needs we want God to address, prayer is more than that.

⭕️What air is to a human being is what prayer is to a believer.

⭕️There are so many men that are only existing but not yet living.

⭕️There are proceedings from God that make a man to live.

⭕️The word is what makes you know what you are born for.

⭕️If you don’t know your purpose, you will be a slave.

⭕️Where there is no vision, people live carelessly.

⭕️It is possible to get lost even with direction.

⭕️In guidance there is having a close relationship (with the one guiding you).

⭕️If your spirit is not fed through the word and prayer, you are weak.

⭕️For many, their spirit is weaker than their bodies and yet their spirit is supposed to lead.

⭕️Are you not afraid to walk out of your house and go somewhere without prayer?

Acts 23:12

⭕️It takes power to download something.

⭕️Your prayer life is an indication of how spiritual or unspiritual you are.

⭕️The 5 minutes prayer you are praying to God everyday will save your life.

⭕️That you are a christian doesn’t mean you have security; your security is in engaging what God has said.

⭕️Very rarely do witches do witchcraft by themselves.

⭕️Corporate prayers in church are very powerful.

SUNDAY ENCOUNTER SERVICE

FROM GREAT GRACE TABERNACLE.

CHILILABOMBWE, ZAMBIA.

1 Samuel 7:7-13

Battles are won spiritually first.

When you pray, you involve God in your battles.

All your enemies will be subdued.

Don’t insult your Prophet.

Some devils that are afraid of you, it is  because of your Prophet not yourself.

Your Prophet has a running covenant with God of tearing apart.

Nobody will hold what is yours anymore.

God is fighting our battles.

God has given us victory over our enemies.

Drastic Restorations in all areas

The Holy Spirit is our stone of help.

THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

John 15:26,16:7

The Holy Spirit is our helper.

The destiny of a man on Earth was never meant to be fulfilled by a man.

From creation, God was in the midst of man

Genesis 1:26-28

Man was created with all the abilities of God in him.

With God’s abilities, man was able to dominate

In short, man was wired with the software of God.

Genesis 2:19

Behind every name, there is an inspiration of the spirit.

Man had the ability to see exactly like God.

If you have God’s word in your heart, you will begin to manifest His nature in you

1 Corinthians 2:16

If we have the mind of Christ, we will begin to think like Him.

The potential for the mind of Christ is right in us.

1 Corinthians 3:1

Your spirituality is directly proportional to what you feed on.

The reason why God gave us the Holy Spirit is to help us along the way.

With the Holy Spirit on our side, we are suppose to be demonstrating power everywhere.

Refuse to be a mere man

The Holy Spirit came to help destiny.

If God does not help you, no man will help you

Whatever was lost in the Garden of Eden, can be restored by the help of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

All you need to do is to activate the power of the Holy Spirit in you.

The Holy Spirit is our advantage in all matters.

Desire to know the Holy Spirit.

Romans 5:5, 1 Kings 19:17

The Holy Spirit shades the love of God abroad in our hearts so that we can desire Him.

Hebrews 4:16

Cooking food & cleaning the house is not helping your husband.

Discover your purpose on Earth.

Don’t allow your mindset to be corrupted by Satan.

If need be, hire maids in your homes.

The help of the Holy Spirit needs to be engaged deliberately.

Make sure that your helpers are pushing you towards God.

⭕️The Zambian spirit is a negative spirit which is manifested not only in Christianity but in many other areas, including football.

⭕️The Zambian spirit has no ability to sustain good things.

⭕️When other nations picked the winds of revival and were able to sustain them to this day, Zambians aborted their own revival.

⭕️According to God, it is His will that you receive your healing and miracle in any church you walk into. However, the reality is not so in many churches.

⭕️The will of God does not impose itself on people. When people discover the will of God, they must do what it takes to have it manifested in their lives.

⭕️Anything of value has a cost.

⭕️Spiritual power has a cost too, and not all pastors (and believers) are willing to pay the price.

⭕️Not many are willing to pay the full price for it.

⭕️ Some only want to pay a part of the price, but want to get the full results.

Genesis 15:1-12

⭕️If you don’t know the power of you having a personal relationship or encounter with God, a lot of things in your life will not change.

⭕️There are some things nobody can tell you; you need to hear them for yourself from God and be empowered to do them.

⭕️When it is you who heard God for yourself, you won’t be discouraged.

⭕️If we are Abraham’s children, we need to know what he was doing.

⭕️Abraham was a man of altars, he used to rear altars to call on the Lord.

When God has spoken to you and you are praying, there will be vultures (demonic forces) that will begin to disturb you.

⭕️The devil knows that if your prayers remain undisturbed, they are capable of changing your entire family.

⭕️While you’re waiting for God to answer your prayer, things will come and if you have the Zambian spirit you will give up.

⭕️If you have persistence, you will break satan.

⭕️It is only persistence that breaks resistance.

⭕️It is “unzambian” to be consistently persistent.

⭕️The issue is not whether you can pray, give or serve God. The issue is whether you can last.

⭕️Until you last, you can’t meet Him and if you don’t meet Him your needs are not met.

⭕️As you are waiting on God, it is your duty to drive away the vultures that want to take time away from you seeking God, to make you go on facebook.

Luke 19:13

⭕️Can you sustain it until you hear from God?

⭕️If you can sustain it till the time you hear from God, your life has changed.

⭕️There is a waiting.

⭕️After you have dealt with outward distractions, you will now have to deal with yourself.

⭕️If you cannot wait, why did you even start the journey?

⭕️If you have started praying, keep at it.

⭕️If you go on holiday, that devil you were beating is going to heal and regroup to defend what you are trying to change.

Isaiah 49:23, Matthew 24:13, Isaiah 40:31, 25:9

⭕️If you can’t go to the end of whatever you are involved in, you have laboured in vain.

⭕️If you like what you are seeing, make up your mind to go for it and never look back.

⭕️Don’t expect that there will be many with you when waiting, it is personal.

⭕️Many of us don’t last long in the place of prayer because there are things calling us. It doesn’t mean that those things are important but they just reveal our priorities.

The job of the priest is to wait.

Psalm 59:9, 62:1, 5, 69:3

⭕️Salvation won’t come until you have developed the stamina to wait.

⭕️Waiting is not easy, you require stamina.

⭕️When God says “pray,” don’t stop praying until He tells you to stop.

Job 14:14

⭕️When you believe God for something don’t give up.

⭕️Your faith requires waiting.

⭕️Abraham didn’t forget what God said for 25 years, he was still waiting for a child.

⭕️Your good works which you have stopped doing will not profit you.

⭕️Your ability to be consistent is where your power to defeat the enemy is.

Isaiah 45:15

⭕️God likes hiding so that those who are serious can seek Him.

⭕️It will appear as though He’s not hearing your requests but He wants to know whether you truly trust Him.

What does wind represent?

POWER AND LIFE

⭕️What we call wind is air in motion. Air contains the oxygen we need for life.

⭕️The coming of the Holy Ghost signalled that life had come.

⭕️When you receive Jesus, it is actually the Holy Ghost who comes into you.

⭕️Wind is an invisible force that has an effect on what is visible.

⭕️Nobody can say they have seen the Holy Spirit but He is effective.

⭕️The Holy Spirit as wind is the only one who can help us move from common ground to fly to the place where we are supposed to operate.

FIRE

⭕️Fire gives light and heat.

⭕️Light is life.

What does fire signify?

1.The presence of God (Exodus 3:2-5, 19:18)

2.Approval of God (Leviticus 9:24, 6:12-13, 1 Kings 18:24, 2 Kings 1:12)

⭕️If the Lord approves you by fire, your enemies will be afraid of you.

3.Protection and guidance (Exodus 13:21)

⭕️Wherever God is leading, protection is guaranteed.

⭕️When you know what to do, you don’t panic in the presence of trouble.

4.Purifying (Isaiah 6:1-7, Malachi 3:2-3, 2 Kings 12:6)

⭕️The fire of the Lord will purify us so that our lives are pleasing to God all the time.

⭕️It is the fire of the Spirit that kills the desire for sin.

⭕️We must do all we can to desire fire.

 Ezekiel 2:2

⭕️The word of God is not for entertainment; the word of God has a purpose.

⭕️The word of God has power to cleanse. (John 15:3)

⭕️Every time the word of God is coming out, it has ability to heal. It heals the sicknesses of the body, heart and soul. (Acts 10:44, 38)

⭕️The word of God has ability, by the spirit of God, to cause the nature of God to be activated in us.

⭕️The Spirit of God is the catalyst that makes what God has promised to become a reality.

⭕️It is because of the word that even the laying of hands works.

⭕️The anointing is released when words are spoken and when hands are laid.

⭕️You can be imparted with the grace of another man that you have never met, through their words (via their teachings).

⭕️Every time the word of God is received, life is received. (John 6:63)

⭕️Words have ability to bring in a life that is different from the one that we are experiencing right now.

2 Kings 6:28-29, 7:1-2

⭕️There is a difference when you speak out of revelation and when you speak from circumstances.

2 Kings 6:15

⭕️When a person can see beyond circumstances, can see what God has said, that person automatically steps into faith.

⭕️At the point of revelation, faith is automatic.

⭕️When faith is in place, you can step into your possessions.

⭕️Faith will be viewed as problematic to the natural eye.

⭕️When a man of faith is talking it seems like he is detached from reality and yet faith is the highest form of reality because it is born of truth (the word of God).

⭕️What God says about you is what is truly true.

Numbers 14:24

⭕️What you see affects your speech and your speech is what God looks at.

Proverbs 23:7

⭕️Words reveal thoughts and produce thoughts.

⭕️When a person speaks, you can know what they have been thinking.

⭕️What will come out of you in a real situation that presents itself is the real you.

⭕️It is the spirit of faith that speaks the unspeakable and once it is spoken, power is released to do those things.

⭕️To restore is to bring back what was stolen, lost or damaged to the original.

Joel 2:25, Job 20:15, Isaiah 42:22, 2 Kings 8:1-6, Isaiah 40:2

⭕️Restoration takes many forms.

⭕️One of the ministries of the Holy Spirit is to inject the spirit of praise.

Isaiah 61:1-3

⭕️The oil of joy will cause a man to praise God and when he praises God, the presence of God will come on the scene and beat down any opposition.

⭕️Whatever is making you sad to keep on complaining is the thing that has cut off God from you.

⭕️God’s judgement will soon be where there is murmuring.

⭕️No matter how genuine your complaints are, He does not expect you to complain. He expects you to look at the little things that are working in your life.

⭕️God expects a “thank you” from you.

⭕️Even if you sleep outside, He still expects you to thank Him for the gift of life.

⭕️Praise is too heavy for an angel to carry; God comes down Himself.

⭕️You can’t claim to have the Holy Spirit in you and joy can’t be shown.

Philippians 4:4, Ephesians 5:20

⭕️Joyless people can never flow with the Spirit.

Acts 16:25, Psalm 103:1, Habakkuk 3:17-18, 2 Chronicles 21:13, Psalm 84:10

THE EMBLEMS (SYMBOLS) OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Romans 1:20

⭕️Some of the things God has made carry invisible qualities of God so that from them we can understand certain traits of God.

1.THE DOVE (John 1:32)

⭕️The Holy Spirit is not a dove but came on Jesus in the symbolism of a dove.

⭕️We need to understand what a dove represents.

⭕️A dove represents:

a.Approval

⭕️By God coming on Jesus in form of a dove, He was approving Him.

b.Purity (Song of Songs 6:9)

c.Peace (Psalm 55:6)

2.OIL (1 Samuel 16:13, Luke 4:18Acts 10:38)

⭕️Oil represents:

a.Light

b.Healing

⭕️What people call deliverance is healing.

⭕️Healing is not limited to diseases.

c.Anointing for service or enthronement

3.WATER

  (i) The Holy Spirit is also portrayed as a river (John 7:37-39, John 7:38)

  (ii)He is portrayed as rain (Isaiah 44:3)

 ⭕️Water signifies:

  a.New life

  b.Cleansing

  c.Refreshing

-The problem with going into what The Holy Spirit does without knowing His personality is that we will not be able to relate with Him.

-You can’t relate with someone that you don’t know.

-The Holy Spirit is a person.

John 14:16, 26

-The name of a thing can indicate to you either its nature or what it’s come to do.

-If we do not understand the titles that the Holy Spirit has, we may be limited in understanding what He came to do.

Luke 24:49, Acts 1:8

-To demonstrate the kingdom of God requires power.

-Until the Holy Spirit has been allowed to work through believers and the church, you can’t see power.

-Without power you can’t see changes.

-Some traditional churches have become better than churches that call themselves Pentecostal churches because of the absence of the Holy Spirit.

-If His (Holy Spirit) power is not present, you can’t fulfill destiny.

-The Holy Spirit is in charge of God’s affairs on the earth – without Him you can’t go in the direction of God.

-The primary mission of the Holy Spirit was to make man comfortable.

FOUR MAJOR CHARACTERISTICS BY WHICH WE CAN KNOW THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD

-Don’t call the Holy Spirit “it.” Use the proper pronoun HE.

-Before you can get to hear the Spirit, believe the word of God.

-If you can’t’ believe what is written, how will you believe what is spoken?

-The Spirit speaks and He does not speak to pastors only, He wants to communicate information to all children of God.

-Hearing the voice of God is for all Christians.

-As a pastor, if you heard God telling you to enter ministry, why you stop hearing God now that you’re in ministry?

-Usually, instructions that are going to change your life don’t come to a group, they come to an individual.

-When you are stranded and don’t know what to do, you need to hear a word concerning what to do.

6.HE LOVES. (Romans 15:30, 5:5, 2 Timothy 1:7)

7.HE INTERCEDES (Romans 8:26)

-To intercede is to plead on behalf another person.

-The Holy Spirit prays on our behalf.

-If the Spirit of God is not involved in anything you are trying to plant, there will be nothing.

Malachi 3:17,  Psalm 89:20-22, 91:14-15

⭕️When your life is a sacrifice to God, you’ll be a natural carrier of fire and fire is what keeps enemies away.

⭕️When you are the sacrifice that first puts himself on the altar for God, you’ll attract fire from heaven.

⭕️There must be a sacrifice on the altar.

⭕️Serving God is the proper insurance.

⭕️If you’re eating food without the blessing, the food won’t do what it’s supposed to do.

⭕️You’re lifted by God through service.

Deuteronomy 28:47

⭕️God expects to be served but He expects to be served properly.

1 Corinthians 10:1-7

⭕️We must seek to please Him (God).

⭕️You and I should not even be discussing whether we should serve God or not but we should be dealing with whether our service to God is pleasing.

⭕️Don’t move things into a realm where they can become your delight.

⭕️The only one who should be qualifying for being our delight is God and not the things we want or desire.

Psalm 37:4

⭕️Don’t desire something so much so that it takes the place of God.

⭕️Desire God and He will give you the things you desire.

⭕️Let there be nothing that is competing with the place of God in our lives.

⭕️Success and failure have a flight path.

⭕️Satan does not want you to create a pattern for success

⭕️If you see things happening consistently, it means there is formula.

⭕️When God helps you to do something once, the devil will fight hard to ensure it doesn’t happen again because it might create a pattern for good things and someone might tap into it and flow in the same.

⭕️The power of an example is that if you do what they did you will have what they have, bad or good.

Romans 15:4, Ecclesiastes 10:16-17

⭕️Fornication is satan’s greatest tool for initiation.

⭕️Murmuring attracts destruction and permits the destroyer.

⭕️You’ll begin to murmur when you forget what He has done.

⭕️Don’t look for what Has not been done but thank Him for the little that you think He has done.

⭕️Thank Him for your life, after all, only the living can have expectations.

⭕️Find something to thank God for.

⭕️If everything else is not working, at least thank God for your life.

Romans 4:20

⭕️It is thanksgiving that releases power to guard our hearts against the assault of the devil.

⭕️That thing you do not want to thank God for is somebody’s prayer point.

⭕️It is not possible to talk about flying without talking about a certain personality and the things he does.

Deuteronomy 32:9-14

⭕️You are not your condition – who you are is not what you are facing.

⭕️When a condition has been on a person for a long time, there is a certain tendency to think it has become part and parcel of who they are and it becomes part of their description.

⭕️You are only said to be passing through if you know you are going to another destination other than where you are.

⭕️If there is nothing else other than where you are, then it means you have arrived.

⭕️Pain can be a good thing.

⭕️Pain doesn’t create change but pain is what creates a desire for change.

⭕️The desire for change will make you look for knowledge.

⭕️It is knowledge that brings about change.

⭕️God has released part of His attributes in the eagle.

What is comfort?

1.A state of being relaxed and feeling no pain.

2.A feeling of freedom from worry or disappointment.

⭕️We only worry when we are facing things that are beyond us or our ability.

Amos 3:3

⭕️Spirits will reveal their intentions to their agents and their agents will announce in the earthly realm in order for their agenda to be carried out.

⭕️Our duty every day is to distinguish voices.

⭕️The voice of God and the voice of the stranger might appear the same to someone who is not schooled in the things of the spirit.

⭕️At the end of the day, where you end up in life and destiny will depend on the voice you were listening to and obeying.

⭕️There must be a voice that you obey.

⭕️When a voice comes and you go in the direction of that voice, something will change in your life, whether for good or for bad.

⭕️It is words that create atmospheres and future.

John 10:27

⭕️The spirits of lust, love, failure, success are transported through a voice.

⭕️The words of God bring us life and the words of the enemy bring us death.

Deuteronomy 8:3, 28:1, 2 Timothy 3:15, Jeremiah 1:5-6

⭕️Until what you hear is seen, you will not step into it.

Numbers 13:33

⭕️No man will ever manifest anything beyond their self-estimation.

⭕️Whatever you think you’ll become is the only think you can become.

⭕️Those who don’t want to be involved in battle will have nothing in this life.

⭕️Without warfare there is no settlement.

⭕️It has been given by God but there is a responsibility on your part.

⭕️Every man has a battle.

⭕️Those devils you don’t want to confront will attack your children.

⭕️Every altar has a name.

Exodus 17:15

⭕️The inheritance you can leave your children is the blessing.

⭕️When people are blind, they don’t go for the blessing.

⭕️As we hear what God is saying, we must see it so that we observe to do.

1 Timothy 4:12-15

⭕️There is a profiting to the gift/the word you receive but it won’t happen until you meditate.

⭕️Appearing of the profit is called testimony.

⭕️It is meditation that helps you to see what is said.

⭕️Faith comes alive when you see it.

Hebrews 4:1-2

⭕️What will determine the profiting of the word of God in you and another person that has heard the word is stirring.

⭕️Prayer and fasting stirs the word in you.

⭕️The power that is going to solve your problems is coming from inside you.

Ephesians 3:20, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Romans 8:6

⭕️To be mindful of natural things is how carnality steps in.

⭕️Meditation requires attention and time – you have to be deliberate about it.

1 Kings 21:25

⭕️How you move from this life to another one is a function of the voice you hear and the pictures you see.

Philippians 4:8 is our syllabus for thought.

⭕️Thoughts are the real seeds for tomorrow.

⭕️Even God is limited by what we think or imagine.

Jeremiah 1:11-12

⭕️There is always speed in God to perform His word if you can see what He is saying.

⭕️Before you react to whatever you hear, enquire if God is behind it.
