Summary
In one line: Not all giving is sacrifice. A true sacrifice isn't about getting money back — it changes your spiritual dimension, and "God cannot deny a sacrifice the way He can deny a prayer."
Relics and integrity
- He believes in relics: anything God used carries His power. He sets aside garments from services where God moved greatly for his children. He received a chair from A. A. Allen's last crusade tent — it's in his prayer room.
- A mother testifies that her son was healed of leukemia the day before.
- An apology on behalf of pastors who manipulated giving ("$24 for a 24-hour miracle"), creating people who resent God. For six years he collected no offering until Mary Kay Baxter taught him sacrifice; his mother used to leave people's offerings in his room because he wouldn't take them. "One thing I know: I don't take money from people."
- Jon Jones, his mentee and a preacher's son, didn't give to the building fund because he'd seen funds for buildings never bought — then apologised when the building was bought within a month.
- "You don't need to give to be blessed" is a lie — giving predates and outlasts the law. God made him and his wife clear their accounts several times, followed by harvest. A son he told to give (to the church, not to him) received hundreds of thousands within 24 hours.
What makes a sacrifice count
- Cain and Abel (Genesis 4:3-7) gave equally from first fruits — yet God had respect for Abel. "If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted" — se'eth = elevated. Cain knew he was rejected because his dimension didn't change. In Scripture givers always knew whether their sacrifice was received. The amount isn't the difference-maker.
- The art of sacrificing is the art of ascending. Jesus descended… then ascended above all heavens (Ephesians 4:10) — His sacrifice seated flesh at the right hand of the Father, beyond heaven — so "come out!" is spoken from God's presence.
- Fasting won't make you ascend — people who fasted 100 days still can't prophesy or see; fasting changes you, not God.
- Solomon dedicated the temple with sacrifices so every prayer toward it would be heard (1 Kings 8:22-64) — you can make your home a sanctuary for your children's children.
- The woman with the alabaster box (Luke 7:36-50) — a year's wages poured out. Jesus rebuked the host for not washing His feet (as Abraham did, Genesis 18:1-5) — foot-washing was honour. He identifies her with Mary Magdalene, from whom seven devils went out (Luke 8:2) — "it happened that day at His feet." She prepared Him for burial, so she was first to see Him risen and first sent — "technically the chief apostle" (John 20:11-18). "Your sacrifice will make you the first in your family to break poverty, depression, cancer."
- The leper who returned travelled days to say thank you and was made whole (Luke 17:12-19).
- The devil fights your giving because when you discover real giving you ascend above him.
- "You desire not sacrifice… the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit" (Psalm 51:6-17) — God breaks the spirit; desperation to give is revelation. "If you and I give the same sacrifice the same way, one of us is giving wrong." "Don't give generously — give spiritually. If you don't, go buy McDonald's or Gucci." Even witch doctors know you can't cross over without a sacrifice. "You're not the source of God's house; it's a privilege."
- Mr. Onyango, his father figure, told him not to go back on tour but to master music production, gave him a home — and the church began in his living room. Today "he never worries about his mortgage."
- David refused Araunah's free oxen — "I will not offer to God what costs me nothing" (2 Samuel 24:22-24); "may God accept (elevate) you." The cost that makes giving spiritual: giving when you are broken, rejected, slandered — giving when convenient is thanksgiving, not sacrifice. "If you don't bleed, it doesn't count."
- The widow's two mites (Mark 12:41-44) — "she's the only one who gave": from total emptiness.
- Prayer requests; sacrifice places you in the answer. He demonstrates with a man as the "lamb": "He who knew no sin became sin" (2 Corinthians 5:21) — a sacrifice ends the old chapter and opens a new dimension.

Hallelujah. You may sit sit sit in heavenly
places.
I won't take too much time. I'm going to show you something that I got this as a gift
and um it meant so much to me because they presented it to my wife and my wife came and gave it to me. And what I'm going to talk about today is the cost of spiritual sacrifice.
Amen. But I wanted to show you this chair.
I am a big believer in relics. What does that mean? Anyone or anything that God used or is in the presence of God carries the power of God.
This is something the modern believer doesn't really understand. And I pray that you will understand. There are certain services when God uses me. I don't wear those clothes anymore.
Sometimes people wonder like, "Oh, does he why does he not always repeat clothes?" Because there are some of them when God uses me tremendously beyond what I have known. I put those clothes away for my boys and my sons and daughter, both spiritual and physical, if God will have me give it to them, because there is a significance to it.
some amazing ladies whom you may not want me to mention their names so I'm going to keep it closed but they brought me a chair from a crusade of one of the greatest miracle worker of his time and of any other time uh I don't know any man that was got to that God used to do miracles like this man and they knew that what I love the kind of things that move me is not silver and gold is things that have an eternal purpose.
So they brought me a chair from a Allen's crusade, one of the last miracle crusades that he had. This was in his tent and you can see it's written there. You you you want to uh get this name on here and let let people see this. I don't know if it's clear. Is it
almost almost there? We go. Okay.
And um and uh there's a writing here. I believe it was written by his son if I'm not wrong. Um okay, look at what he says. Can you read it?
When I saw this chair, it moved me. It's in my prayer room now. My prayer room at church. I sit when I'm meditating or I when I'm praying, when I'm resting, I sit on it because every man or woman of God that God used greatly, they paid such a price in the spirit.
Today, I'm going to teach you the cost of spiritual sacrifice.
Amen.
You can clap your hands for Jesus.
I want you to put your right hand on your head. and say, "Lord Jesus,
Lord Jesus,
may I receive the spirit of revelation."
May I receive the spirit of revelation.
May I understand
and know your ways.
One more time.
May I understand and know your ways.
In the mighty name of Jesus.
Clap for Jesus.
woman of God. It's so nice to see you, Miss Felen. Felen, now I remember you. You know, yesterday when I'm doing service, I can't see clearly cuz I'm in the spirit. Which one of your sons was healed of leukemia? Let me see.
Stand up, young man. They They said he had leukemia. He disappeared after coming.
Hallelujah. HALLELUJAH.
HALLELUJAH. YES, MAMA.
God is good.
Clap your hands for Jesus.
Now, please, let's cut off the air. It's a little too cold for me. Uh,
let me explain something to you.
I am going to teach you the cost of spiritual sacrifice
because not all sacrifice is made equal.
Amen.
I want you to understand that a lot of people have given to God or they thought they were giving to God and they never received a result because what they wanted was spiritual but how they gave was canno
and because they did not know their approach of sacrificing their sacrifice price counted for nothing. They may feel inside of them like they gave to God, but in reality, God never saw it and God never received it.
And I have to say, I have to give this apology to all believers that are watching. There's thousands of you online and share the video, like the video, and some of you in here. I am sorry for any pastor who ever cheated you on giving. Amen.
Because most men of God, when there are needs in the house of God, it's okay to say there's a need. You don't need to tell somebody, "Give $24 for a 24-hour miracle." You don't need to do that because your declaration and your intention is wrong. And the giver is giving as if it's a pyramid scheme. So what happens is we build people of disappointment, people who resent God because we have not explained giving.
We have not explained sacrifice. So if you've ever been cheated in your giving on behalf of the other pastors, I apologize for them.
Sometimes pastors sub work so hard and they know you will not give to the work of God. So they have to entice you even though they've done it wrong. God is faithful to forgive. Clap your hands for Jesus.
But I want you to understand nothing speaks louder in the spirit than sacrifice. I remember many years ago I served uh God when I started in the house when he got me to start the work for over six years I never collected an offering until my mom in the Lord Mary Kay Baxter taught me the significance of sacrificing. I understood giving.
My family understood giving. Miss Onyang, Mrs. Onyango and her husband are some of the faithful tithers I've known for years.
But I never allowed people to give because not only was I afraid to taint my gift, but also I did not want people to give the wrong way.
I felt it was my responsibility to teach people why they give.
There's a wicked doctrine in the church right now. You don't need to give to God to bless you. That is a lie. That's not true. Jesus gave all the sacrifices. Jesus gave sacrifice towards your sin.
Giving is no longer a law. It's never a law because it started before the law and it exists after the law. The issue is how to actually give.
What is God counting as a sacrifice?
Because not all giving is the same.
I'll give you an example. God made me and my wife clear our accounts numerous times that we were left with nothing because God said so. And after a few months the harvest was beyond what you could understand.
The key is what is God looking at? Because giving has become a taboo in church. Because a lot of prophets, not prophets, I hear God saying 10 people are going to give $10,000, but you couldn't tell anyone's issue. How do you hear God clearly for money, but you can't hear God clearly for what I'm going through?
Y'all are not listening to me.
Listen, you can say whatever you want about me, but one thing I know is I don't take money from people.
Number two, I hear from God.
There's no faking my gift. So if I tell you to sacrifice something, what I am telling you is by the spirit.
Now is it something I do? No. very rarely and I only would tell people that I know closely like uh one of uh my sons I told him um grab this and give this to God. I called them randomly because I had seen something God told me said grab this and and give this. It wasn't even towards me. It was towards the church.
Within 24 hours it was in the hundreds of thousands
and he had nothing in his account. He called me after two days. He said, "Paps, thank you." Because everything in me wanted to resist. I said, "I wanted you to see it because you see who it went to. It didn't come to me."
There is power in giving.
There is power in sacrifice.
The question is, how do you do it?
Let me tell you, when you run when you when you learn the principle I'm going to teach you today, no one will tell you to give.
You'll be the first one giving.
Amen.
The good news is our church already has people who are faithful givers. Revelation Nation is one of the greatest givers I know. And I will tell you why. You will notice in our church, we don't prioritize giving. We don't start service and in the middle of the beginning of service it's time for you to give now and then we preach to you a sermon on giving and then you give and then when it's time to pray I say now give again by the time we have done we've collected three offerings the coming in tax the sitting down tax the building fund tax that does not exist it will never happen that's what churches do. I'm just being honest, but it's criminal. It's wrong.
I remember when we were buying this building, one of my mentees, faithful mentees, multi-millionaire, his father is a preacher and he's one of the greatest fighters of all times if not forever until Jesus comes.
And this is John Jones. He was like, "Yo, I saw you're doing a building fund." I said, "Yeah." I said, "You know what? If you want to give, you can give towards." He said, "Yeah, yeah. You know, I'm going to do that. One month later, he's like, "You bought the building?" I say, "Yeah, we did." It's like, "Man, I have to I have to apologize."
Being a preacher's son, I sat in church.
And I saw people doing building funds that they never bought.
And from then, I never trusted. I didn't want to tell you. I know you hear from God. I know you walk from God. But I saw so many people raising money for buildings that they never bought.
So seeing you say this and then you bought it, I feel like I missed out on the greatest miracle of my life because of doubt. I was like, "Wow, that's a perspective." Because we were there. I was I'm not a preachers's kid, but I sat down during a lot of building funds that programs that never came to be. You know what? I apologize for all the pastors.
Even those who don't like me, I'm apologizing on their behalf.
My mother here used to come and force me to take people's offerings because they will give it to her knowing that I would not take it. So she will come and slam it in my face, leave it in my room for me to receive it because they knew I would not take it.
But what is the mind of God when it comes to sacrifices? Why is it that you sacrifice and you don't see any results?
What is the missing link? Genesis chapter 4.
Genesis 4:3-7.
It says, "And in the process of time, it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto God.
And Abel also brought of the first ling of his flock, and of the fat thereof.
And the Lord, now notice this, and the Lord had respect unto Abel, and to his offering. Verse five, but unto Cain and to his offering he had no respect.
And Cain was very wroth. and his countenance fell. Let's stop right there. There are people who give and God respects them and their giving.
And there are people who give and God does not respect the giver and the sacrifice.
Amen.
Now the issue is most people are not even spiritual to know that God has rejected what they have given.
Now y'all are not listening to me. Oh yeah.
Cain is aware that he has not been received.
That's right.
How did he know that God did not receive him?
You're going to understand in a second. But Abel was not only received, BUT GOD HAD RESPECT for him. The word respect is also esteem. GOD REGARDED HIM OF HIGH REGARD. NOW, how many people at home right now you're watching? You have GIVEN BUT YOU MEASURE YOUR giving by what comes after your giving. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MEASURE YOUR GIVING. THAT WHEN YOU GIVE, WHAT IS THE SPIRITUAL EFFECT THAT TELLS me that I have GIVEN UNTO GOD AND GOD HAS RECEIVED my giving?
Amen. Because if you look in scripture, THERE WAS NO TIME THERE WAS A SACRIFICE AND THE ONE WHO SACRIFICED DID NOT KNOW WHETHER THEY HAVE been received or they have been rejected.
IT'S ONLY IN THE MODERN CHURCH THAT PEOPLE GIVE. THEY SAY GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER. So you'll THINK IF I DANCE and I put my offering, God has received it. I'm here to tell you giving is a spiritual act. IT IS A SPIRITUAL EXCHANGE. I FEEL LIKE I'M TALKING TO MYSELF. I'M TALKING TO GIVERS. I'M TALKING TO THOSE WHO WILL UNDERSTAND THE ART OF SACRIFICE.
AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND ALSO WHY THE DEVIL FIGHTS YOU TO NOT SACRIFICE.
There are things your lips cannot fulfill in the sight of God until it is backed up by a sacrifice.
Now, now hear me by the spirit. The Bible says that Cain was upset and his countenance fell, meaning he became depressed and sad. Verse six.
And the Lord said unto Cain, notice his giving is being corrected by God.
So what was Cain doing? Because he can still hear the voice of God. God can still speak to him. But the strange thing is that the first act of sacrificing is being seen by the two firstborns or the the firstborn of Adam and the second born of Adam.
That's all you're seeing here. Who taught them how to give and what was the purpose of giving? You give for breakthrough. You give for open doors. These guys were not asking for breakthrough.
They not asking for open doors. But he's upset that he was not received. What was he trying to achieve?
Because his issue was not that I need to hear you clearly, God. Because he can hear God clearly.
In fact, the one who is correcting him on giving is God himself.
May your ears be open that when you're wrong, God can correct you.
Amen.
I thought I'll hear a big amen. Amen.
I can hear your amen.
Amen.
And the Lord said unto Ken, "Why art thou wroth? And why is your countenance fallen?" Verse seven. Now this is where it is. IF THOU DOEST WELL, now the question is, what is doing well?
SHALL THOU NOT BE ACCEPTED? WAIT, LORD, you have already accepted me. God does not speak to you unless he has accepted you.
You cannot be in God's presence unless he has accepted you.
So God is telling him if you do well shall thou not be accepted. Now the question is God is not saying if you do well will I not accept you? God is speaking in the third person like Cain was trying to achieve something and he was rejected. GOD IS NOT SAYING I REJECTED YOU
BUT GOD IS TELLING IF YOU DO RIGHT WILL YOU NOT be accepted.
He's not saying if you do right WILL I NOT ACCEPT YOU? RIGHT.
So this is opening an understanding to a completely different dimension of reading this because God is telling him if you do right will you not be accepted but he's not saying if you do right will I not accept you?
Because clearly God has not rejected him.
What is the word accept there? The word accept there is the word sayat c e t h s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s s sorry sorry s s e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e t h. I'm sorry, dyslexia kicked in. S E T H say means elevated.
It doesn't mean accepted as the English says it. It means to be elevated.
Amen. So, how did Cain know he was rejected when he's g when he gave his dimension of the spirit did not change?
No, you missed it.
He realized that his dimension did not change.
So God is telling him, IF YOU DO THE RIGHT THING, will you not be accepted? MEANING HE WAS OFFERING SOMETHING TO God for a spiritual elevation.
BUT THIS TIME WHEN HE GAVE HE WAS rejected because in heaven God had no respect for what he was offering.
Meaning what he gave did not MATCH UP THE ACCESS HE WAS ASKING FOR.
But now you will sit there and say, "Wait a minute. What do you mean? Because Cain gave the first fruit of the field. Abel also gave first fruit of his animals. SO IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY PRESENTED, it was equal.
So here the elevation is not based on the amount.
BECAUSE THE AMOUNT IS NOT THE DIFFERENCE MAKER.
That's good.
That's right.
Are you sure you're hearing me this morning?
Yes.
If you can hear me, wave your hands.
Overflow. I can't see you. Overflow. Wave your hand. Wave your hands. So hear me by the spirit. You are lied to about giving. Thinking giving is about getting money back.
Giving is about changing your dimension.
That where you used to be is no longer where you are. YOU CAN COMMAND A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE, a completely DIFFERENT DIMENSION, AND YOU CAN PROVOKE THINGS THAT WERE completely impossible in your life.
High five your neighbor. Say, "My dimension is changing."
My dimension is changing.
I am becoming a crazy giver.
I AM BECOMING A CRAZY
I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I'M becoming a crazy giver.
I am becoming a crazy giver.
Ephesians 4:10. I'm showing you something.
Every time there was a sacrifice before God, there was an elevation in the spirit.
Hallelujah.
The reason why your sacrifice is not doing anything is because your sacrifice wasn't towards God.
It was towards a need. It wasn't towards God. BECAUSE THE UNDERSTANDING OF giving is lost because giving has become about money
and not the understanding of giving. Let me give you an example. People say you know giving is about the heart. Yes. But what kind of heart?
Because having good intentions to give is not enough. Have you ever noticed when I am doing live streams I always say if you don't pray don't give
go do whatever you want with your money. No pastor is going to tell you that he'll say you give everything.
I remember somebody was having doing an interview and this person did of and they said would you tie to the church. The woman said you know if a pastor will receive yes we'll receive it
because all what people want in the church is money but I am not here for your money. I'm here for your spiritual elevation.
Amen. Amen.
Y'all are not listening TO ME.
AMEN. I WANT YOU TO ENTER INTO REALMS AND DIMENSIONS OF AUTHORITY AND POWER
THAT YOU CAN COMMAND MONEY. MONEY DOESN'T COMMAND YOU.
Now capture this. Notice this.
Ephesians 4:10. He that descended is the same also that ascended above all heavens that he might feel all things.
I want you to take this and understand what the Bible is saying here. The Lord Jesus could not ascend until he became a sacrifice.
Do you know why man means so much to God now? Man was always somebody that God loved because he created him in his image and in his likeness. So God always loved man. But what gave man a high position in God is because of what the man Jesus did.
He sacrificed his life.
No human being could enter the high heaven. Do you know what the high heaven is? Beyond heaven.
Listen to what he says. He that descended is the same that also ascended up above all heavens.
Jesus does not represent us to the father in heaven.
Yeah.
He represents us before the father IN ETERNITY. THE ORIGIN OF GOD WHEREVER THAT IS WHERE GOD THE CREATOR WHO CREATED EVERYTHING THAT DWELLS OUTSIDE OF HIS CREATION THAT EVERYTHING THAT IS WHERE YOU'RE REPRESENTED BECAUSE OF A SACRIFICE THE DEATH OF JESUS DID NOT JUST ERASE sin
this IS WHAT THE CHURCH TEACHES YOU WHICH IS PARTIAL TRUTH IT'S NOT THE COMPLETE TRUTH THE DEATH OF THE LORD Jesus elevated flesh to sit at the right hand of power.
Meaning that human beings were represented in the lower realms of heaven. But when Jesus came,
a human being went outside of heaven.
The Bible says heaven is his throne. He went beyond his throne.
THAT WHEN YOU STAND AND YOU SAY IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS, YOU ARE SPEAKING FROM THE VERY PRESENCE OF
YOU ARE SPEAKING FROM THE VERY PRESENCE OF GOD.
WHEN YOU SAY TO A DEMON, "COME OUT." HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO LIVE BECAUSE IT IS GOD SPEAKING. IT'S NOT JUST YOU.
BECAUSE WHERE YOU ARE SEATED IS WHERE JESUS IS SEATED.
If Jesus is SEATED ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, GUESS WHERE ME AND YOU ARE? ON THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER. WHY? BECAUSE OF A SACRIFICE. Not prayer. Sacrifice.
Why is it SAYING HE ASCENDED? BECAUSE THE ART OF sacrificing is the art of ascending.
I'm going to bust some people's bubbles.
Fasting will not make you ascend.
I know they may not like this bishop,
but we are going to tell them the truth.
I know people
that fasted for 100 days.
They still can't prophesy. They still can't see in the spirit. They still cannot be used for miracles. They cannot still they still cannot be used for deliverance. They still can't preach for nothing.
The spirit of revelation is not even upon them. Do you know why they assumed if I starve myself, I will increase. That is a lie. Fasting does not change God's mind. It changes you.
Sacrifice. Listen, fasting does nothing for God. It does something for us.
Fasting has never changed God. He changes us.
God is the unchangeable changer. There is nothing me and you can do to change God. The only thing that moves God is when we do what he has told us to do.
So I I I I want you to understand Solomon is at the temple.
The temple is ready. He didn't just say, "Lord, I have built you a house." Do you know what he did? He brought a bunch of bulls and sacrifices.
And he said, "Lord, this is my prayer that whenever people will pray towards this house,
Yes.
or anyone will cry on these walls,
that you will hear them."
Why? Because of the sacrifice I'm about to perform here. That's
right.
It should change the trajectory of this house.
It should not just be like any tent that was built for you. It cannot be like any house that you're welcoming. For as long as this building will stand, this land will stand. Whoever will come here must be heard.
Do you KNOW THAT YOU CAN MAKE your home a sanctuary for God? THAT YOU CAN SAY FATHER WHAT I WILL DO TODAY THAT EVEN MY children's children's children IF JESUS HAS NOT COME IF THEY APPEAL TO WHAT I AM DOING RIGHT now
let them be heard in heaven
why because sacrifice
changes the dimension
of an individual
of an atmosphere
of a people Stop thinking about sacrificing about money.
It is not about money. It's never been about money.
It's always been about how can I change my spiritual
dimension.
Jesus is at a house. A woman breaks in, boom, comes in,
takes out the most expensive perfume and oils,
begins to kiss Jesus's feet,
begins to cry at Jesus's feet.
And the master of the house begins to say, "If this man was a prophet,
should have known who this woman is,
he should have taken that oil,
sold it,
and gave it to the poor." Yeah.
Jesus looked at him and said, "Listen, I came into your house.
You did not give me water
to wash my feet.
You did not anoint my head with oil." Let me explain to you what Jesus was saying. In the Old Testament and in the priestly order and just in the tradition of the Jews, when somebody significant came to your house, you washed his feet.
As a courtesy to show that it's an honor to have him in your house. That is why when Abraham saw God with two angels, he ran to him, offered him food and asked him to wash his feet.
You know, I remember when I was school in school and religious studies said Jesus washed his disciples feet as a sign of service to others. That's not what washing feet is. Wrong teaching. Jesus did not do things you can just say serve one another. He said that a million times. The greatest among you must be the least among you. But why was he washing their feet?
So Jesus was telling the man of the house, you did not give me the honor that is due me
because I came to your house. You did not even wash my feet. You did not anoint my head. But from the time this woman walked in,
she has been kissing my feet.
She has anointed me with this oil.
She has prepared me for what you cannot understand.
The Lord Jesus looked at that woman and said because of the love she has shown.
And what was that love? The sacrifice.
That oil that takes a year worth of wages. She spent it on Jesus's feet.
Amen. Jesus said because of the great love she has shown, it is evidence that her sin has been forgiven.
Now, when you read on, the Bible tells you Jesus cast out six demons out of Mary Magdalene. Doesn't the scripture say that?
But you never read where demons came out of her. It was that day at Jesus's feet because of the sacrifice. She could not remain in the dimension OF SELLING HER BODY. SHE COULD NOT REMAIN IN THIS.
Y'all cannot hear me. SHE CHANGED THE TRAJECTORY OF HER LIFE IMMEDIATELY.
WHAT SHE WAS, YOU COULD NOT HOLD HER TO HER. SHE SHE WAS NOT THE SAME PERSON.
Not only did she change emotionally, she changed physically and she changed spiritually.
Her love for the Lord Jesus is so great
that even fools claimed that she was one of she was Jesus's wife.
She was so sensitive to the spirit from that day. THAT WHEN JESUS IS RAISING FROM THE DEAD, SHE'S THE FIRST ONE AT THE GRAVESIDE.
SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO BE SENT. TECHNICALLY, SHE WAS THE CHIEF APOSTLE BECAUSE AN APOSTLE JUST MEANS FIRST TO BE SENT. SHE PREPARED HIM FOR DEATH. And she ripped re she ripped resurrection.
SHE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO GO AND TELL THE APOSTLES,
"HE HAS RISEN.
I SAW HIM. I WAS WITH HIM."
They're like, "Ah."
SHE'S SAYING, "GUYS,
I SAW HIM. BUT IT IS RIGHT FOR HER TO SEE HIM." WHY? She's the one who prepared her. She's the one who prepared him for the grave.
SO IF HE RAISES UP, WHO SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE to see him?
YOUR SACRIFICE WILL MAKE YOU THE FIRST IN YOUR FAMILY.
YES.
THE FIRST TO BREAK POVERTY.
THE FIRST TO BREAK DEPRESSION. AMEN.
THE FIRST TO BREAK CANCER. THE FIRST TO BREAK LIMITATION. THE FIRST. THE FIRST. THE FIRST.
Sit for two seconds.
Understand this by the spirit.
She placed herself first in line to see the risen savior.
Yet when she was doing the act, all she knew by instinct, she didn't even know how to pray. She had tears.
She didn't even know how to repent. She just had tears. Remember this is the one Jesus says where are you accusers
they are nowhere I don't accuse you either go and sin no more
but go and sin no more turned into a sacrifice
you see many of you God will give you a blessing but you don't know that blessing was to set you up to understand the art of sacrifice so that you can change your dimension when you come
Hallelujah Jesus heals the lepers.
Only one comes back and the one is made whole.
Why? Because for HIM TO TRAVEL BACK WAS ANOTHER week's journey or couple of days journey just to say thank you.
The other said, "Yo, we praise God." The other one changed his dimension for good.
The point of giving has always been will always be spiritual elevation. Amen.
The devil does not want you to give
because he knows the day you discover the real giving.
He can no longer hold you
and play with you because immediately you ascend above him. So it IS IN HIS BEST interest to keep you from giving.
Amen.
I don't know if I'm communicating to somebody.
Watch this. Watch this. Are you still here?
Yes.
Psalms 51 from verse 6.
Listen to what King David is saying.
Behold, thou desireth truth in the inward part, and in the hidden part of the heart, thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with h soap and I shall be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Now if you know how sin used to be dealt with before Jesus came and even after Jesus came he did not change. What took you out of sin was not prayer was sacrifice.
There was something called a sin offering.
You I know many of you don't even know that you could you could not just say I am sorry. God does not hear I am sorry. God hears sacrifice.
So it did not matter how much God loved you or God loves you. You could not come out of sin without what? A sin sacrifice.
Even though the sacrifice did not obliterate sin, it covered it and you stood outside of sin until that sacrifice expires because you will sin again. Then you have to do it again. Notice giving was always about changing your spiritual dimension.
It was never just casual.
Verse eight, make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which thou has broken may rejoice. Hey, verse n.
Hide thy face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities.
I think I gave you No. Is that the right one I gave you? Or is it still No, that's not Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Uh, the sacrifices of God are broken spirit. It's Sorry. Okay, cuz you stopped at seven. Go back. Go back to to
It says seven here. Okay. But uh keep going down. Keep going down. 19. Go to 19. I want to show you something.
Okay. Okay. No, no, no. Go back to A17.
Let's see. I want to show you something real quick. Okay. There we go. Yeah, it says seven here. But look at this. He says the sacrifices of God. This is David after he's praying all these things. Listen to what he says. Actually, go to 16. Go to 16. For thou desire not sacrifices. Now, that's strange. David is saying, GOD, YOU DON'T DESIRE SACRIFICES.
Or else I would give it.
You don't delight in burnt offerings or else I would do it. What is David saying here? Because we all know God wants a sacrifice,
but David is saying, "IF IT WAS JUST A CASUAL SACRIFICE,
I'll be the first to give it. But that's not what you want.
IF IT WAS JUST ABOUT BURNING AN OFFERING before you, I'LL BE THE FIRST ONE TO DO IT."
But you don't even want that. THAT MEANS THE WAY YOU GIVE NORMALLY, God does not want it.
Now, you didn't hear what I'm saying.
If me and you can give the same sacrifice, one of us is giving wrong.
Amen. If me and you can present the same thing to God, one of us will be rejected because one is giving correctly and the other is not giving correctly. Why? We give according to coping people. Yet sacrifices have nothing to do with coping people. You will show me wisdom in the inward part.
NOBODY TOLD MARY MAGDALENE to do what she did. She knew by the spirit what to do. Amen.
Wisdom rung in her SPIRIT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE NEEDS TO give
and how she needs to give.
Listen, I know the pastors you're used to will tell you give generously. No, I don't want you to give generously. I want you to give spiritually.
If you don't give spiritually, don't give. You're wasting your money. Go buy McDonald's. Go buy Gucci. Go buy whatever. At least you'll have something to hold on to. That is something.
You'll be like, "Man, this guy's messing our game." No, I'm telling you the truth. Any pastor that tells you, you know, just if you feel like supporting the ministry, just give whatever you want, that is a hypocrite and that is an unspiritual person. Don't give.
What do you mean if you feel like giving? That's not a spiritual person. Even when you go to juju people, people who are nonsense,
they will tell you listen,
you cannot enter on this side
until YOU SACRIFICE SOMETHING. THEY UNDERSTAND IT IS A SPIRITUAL PROTOCOL.
SO WHEN YOUR PASTOR IS JUST TELLING YOU, NO, JUST give to support the lights. No,
listen to me. You are not the source of God's house.
WHETHER YOU GIVE OR YOU DON'T, GOD WILL PROVIDE FOR HIS HOUSE.
AMEN. WE ARE PRIVILEGED TO GIVE
IN THE WORKS OF GOD. NOT BECAUSE GOD NEEDS US.
It's a privilege.
So for you to just say, you know, you can give whatever you feel like.
Run away from that person is is is either lying to you or is embarrassed of telling you the truth.
I'm not shy to tell you you should give, but I'm teaching you the right way to give.
Clap your hands if you can hear me.
Overflow. Are you there? Overflow.
Now, now watch where we're going to go now. Watch verse 18.
Actually 17 here. Sorry. 17.
The sacrifices of God. He said God doesn't want sacrifice. But then he's saying the sacrifices of God, meaning they are multiple. It's not the sacrifice of God, the sacrifices,
of God, are a broken spirit. Remember David is already saying that the bones you have broken may rejoice.
Yes sir. You cannot gain a broken spirit. God gives you a broken spirit.
It's not something you can decide I am broken. David is telling you God is the one that broke him.
Is the one that broke his bones.
Meaning the desperation to give is an is apocalypsis. It is a revelation.
Come on.
When you can sit down and realize that I have overstayed in this dimension.
Some of you have measured your spiritual dimension based on your job.
But when YOU LOSE THAT JOB, YOU BECOME DEPRESSED BECAUSE THE JOB WAS YOUR GOD.
You are not controlling the job. the job was controlling you
BECAUSE THE DAY YOU LOSE THAT JOB, YOU WILL STOP BELIEVING you are blessed.
YOU START LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY TO PRAY FOR YOU
TO BLESS YOU.
Let let me tell you something. One of the greatest invest investors in my life is this man.
This is my father, Mr. Onyangu.
him and his wife did the greatest investment in me. If it wasn't for this man, I would have gone back home and continue to tour the world. He's the man who stopped me. He's not a spiritual man as he claims, but he is. One morning, I'm in his house. I'm planning to travel. He comes to me and tells me, "Uh, son, sit down. Let me talk to you." He says, "You know, if if I was speaking, you would understand."
He says, he starts by me I don't say God said like your mother but I'll tell you this I know God doesn't want you to go back it was now you have to remember me I'm a spiritual man so hearing somebody that doesn't say God said he's telling me God said in a very strange way telling me um I know you're not supposed to I know I'm supposed to make you understand this music things because I just see you going far. He doesn't talk like that. He is the greatest supporter.
Like I saw him working with his daughters day in day. Like if there's somebody who knows how to support, no questions asked. It's him. I have never seen a man dedicated to his family or to a people he loves like him. If he says he's your friend, he's your friend to a fault. Don't cry when you papa. It's okay.
He told me, "You see that studio back there? I like to make music, but I actually think that I did it for you." I don't even know if he remembers these things
because my relationship with him was from before I came to America. And he would get me to do some music stuff or in production stuff. At that time, I'm touring and singing, but he's pushing me to do this production thing. And I'm and I'm not understanding. Okay, maybe this is what God wants me to. But when he said that to me, I took it very seriously after that. How many hours was I spending in the studio? Too much.
I will go in at 10:00 a.m. in the morning. I will come back to sleep like at 5:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. every day. I did that for months on months. He even stopped calling me by my name. He started calling me by by by plugins because I knew every software that was out. I knew how to use everything that was out. I became elite because of just what he told me. Now my nature, anybody who knows me is I'm very submissive to authority.
That's my nature. If somebody is above me, I will submit myself. I have no question asked. Today, this is over 17 18 years ago. Today, him and my mother don't need to ever worry about where mortgage is coming from.
If they have a need, they know if they call me,
it will get done.
Why? Now you imagine if he demanded that without actually sewing into that
at the time that he should be resting he would be working.
But now he can work on things he likes. He can be at home. He can still do his acting. But the worry of what used to hurt him all the time that I need this to do that. I need if there's a problem we just say hey son can you look at this? I'll say, "Yes, sir. It's done."
But imagine if he did not do that.
Not only would I not only would I stay in the same dimension,
but he would have denied himself his own future. Giving is spiritual. He gave me his time. He gave me his resources. He gave me a bed. He gave me a roof over my head. And today there is revelation church because it started in his living room papa. Please see you're going to make me sad. It started in his living room. Number one supporter. Anything that I'm going to do is behind it.
Hallelujah.
But this was by divine revelation. completely divine revelation because when he made me do that I wasn't even thinking of that.
Somebody wrote online, "Bless on you, papa."
Go to um 2 Samuel chapter 24 verse 22-2. We're going to finish here.
And Aruna said unto David, "Let my lord the king take an offering up. What seemth good unto him. Behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and the treashing instruments and other instruments of the wood for of the oxen for wood." All these things did ara as a king give unto the king.
And Aruna said unto the king, "The Lord thy God accept thee." Notice the word accept there is elevate.
Amen.
The Lord thy God elevate thee.
Because David is already God's beloved. He's not rejected, but he's seeking another dimension.
And the king said unto Arona, the king here is David. Listen to what David said, "Nigh, BUT I WILL SURELY BUY IT OF THEE AT A PRICE." NEITHER WILL I OFFER BURNT OFFERING UNTO THE LORD MY GOD of that which doth cost me nothing. Stop right there.
David is TELLING YOU THE SACRIFICES OF GOD are not a burnt offering. If it WAS A BURNT OFFERING, I CAN DO IT MYSELF.
David is seeking God.
HE WANTS TO CHANGE HIS DIMENSION.
HE WANTS TO CHANGE his trajectory.
And one of his king friends says, "Listen, I have ox and I have this. Let's here's even the land. I WANT YOU TO GO AND OFFER AN offering to God and may God accept you." Or the word there is may God elevate you. And David looks at him and said, "No, I will not give God what has not cost me."
Okay. What is the cost that makes your giving spiritual? Hear me. This is very important. Now hear me.
When you are broken, you have been rejected, you have been slandered, lost everything.
That is the price now for a sacrifice.
Because the pain you're feeling does not want to offer God anything.
Amen.
When you have nothing emotionally, physically, that is the time, a sacrifice can be empowered by you because your way of giving is already a broken spirit.
Many of you want to give when it is convenient. That is called appreciation. That is not a sacrifice.
God blessed me with this. So, I'm just going to give to God as a way of saying thank you. YOU DID NOT CHANGE YOUR DIMENSION. You gave us an act of thanks.
Nothing wrong with that. But you robbed yourself of an opportunity.
Because if you don't bleed,
the sacrifice does not count.
Amen.
Jesus is at the temple. It's going to make sense in a second.
If it hasn't already,
Jesus is at the temple. He's watching people give. He's not moved at all. One woman comes with two mites.
Two mites. Not even a quarter. Mites are like nothing.
Two mites. And the Bible tells you that's all she had. Now, let me explain to you. Even in those days, two mites can't get you anything.
Amen.
Wow.
Bishop, am I communicating to them? Two mites can't get you anything even in those days.
But the woman went with two mites and she gave it. And Jesus stopped the giving ceremony and said, "Out of all of you, the only one who has given
is this woman who has given two mites." Huh? Now you imagine how many people are upset because they know Jesus the rabbi is there. A potential messiah is in the house or we are going to give our best.
But Jesus tells them all of you wasted your money. She's the only one who gave.
And listen to what Jesus said. She gave all that she had. No. The Bible is not telling you she cleared her account.
The Bible is telling you she gave from the depth of being completely empty.
Let me explain to you why sacrifices are important. The difference between prayer and sacrifice. Are you ready to hear this?
What is a prayer? A prayer is a request or a communication with God. When I want God to bless me, I said, "Father, bless me. I am requesting.
A sacrifice is not a request.
A sacrifice places you in the answer." Let me give you an example. God cannot deny a sacrifice, but God can deny a prayer.
A prayer can be done right and God can say not now.
But a sacrifice to God is an eternal yes. Why? Because the sacrifice is not asking God. The sacrifice is acting as God. Let me show you an example. Let me show you what a sacrifice looks like. a giving sacrifice looks like. Who can I use as an example? Come, come, lion man, come.
Now this man is a sacrifice. He is the blood Jesus.
Hallelujah.
The Bible says he he who knew no sin became sin
because there are certain things you're not meant to ask God. There are certain things that require a prophetic act before God.
A sacrifice terminates the old chapter
and opens a new dimension.
Amen. Yes,
I am a sinner, but this is a lamb.
I am the one who is full of sin. The lamb has no sin.
But I need to get rid of this sin. And if you know from the Old Testament to the New Testament, God cannot just forgive sin.
Because if he's just, his law must be just and he must be a God of justice or else he is not God.
So what does he do?
I take this sin because he's an offering. He's my lamb. I'm going to offer it before God. But what do I do? I take all the filth in me.
I put it in him.
But he still belongs to me. So even though I have put it in him, because he still belongs to me, the sin, the filth, the sickness, the same dimension is still with me
even though I have put it in him.
Okay. Now if I take him to apostle come apostle
and apostle is not a spiritual man and he receives this sacrifice. All I have done is I have added another problem on myself and he has also joined into my problem.
My God is
this is why you should know where you're giving.
Amen.
Some of you you're probleming. Your problems increase when you give in certain places.
Pay attention.
So what I have done is this problem is still my problem.
But he just wanted to take the lamb
but he has no power to kill what is in the lamb.
Because now the LAMB IS JUST A CONDUIT OF SOMETHING.
Yes sir.
That needs to be destroyed. Yes.
So if he takes it, if I take it to apostle, apostle receives and eats my lamb
but I'm still on the same dimension. I'm still suffering the same consequences and now apostle has just introduced
another problem in his life.
So now what has happened is I have remained in the same dimension and I have lost a lamb.
Wow.
Pay attention. Sit down apostle and lion man.
Yes sir.
Now I am going to give the right way.
Come my son. I find another lamb. God gives me another lamb. Because the Bible says God gives seed to the sword.
I see. I take the same thing that was never broken. I put it in him.
Now I go to bishop. Bishop, please. Your your your excellency stand up.
Now I give that offering to the priest of God who is authorized by God to deal with it. The moment he receives it
and sheds the blood of that lamb,
my problems also die. As the life leaves the sacrifice,
he terminates it because it cannot contaminate him.
He's used as a conduit of terminating the sickness,
the misfortunes, the witchcraft, the sorcery. when he receives it, he kills it and he dies. Why? The Bible says here on earth mortal men receives sacrifices. In heaven there, God receives them.
So by him receiving this immediately what happens is what I was struggling with dies
because he has the power to terminate it.
So notice what happened here. What I need is not God. I need a man that REPRESENTS GOD BECAUSE GOD CANNOT REJECT a sacrifice.
Hallelujah.
You didn't hear what I said.
God can ask somebody else to PRAY FOR YOU. BUT THE MOMENT YOU start a sacrifice, God comes to the altar because God is ready to have an exchange. Because nothing moves God more than a sacrifice.
No worship, no praise, nothing. A sacrifice.
Are you all following so far?
So now from the moment bishop receives this, boom, my problem goes away.
And I am free now.
The burden that was on me disappears.
What was going on with me disappears. Why? because the sacrifice has been received and the sacrifice being received it means I also change my spiritual position. The Bible says this about Jesus. He says this about Jesus. It says he was obedient unto death.
So therefore he was given a name above all other names. Amen.
You know, I said this a few years ago, Bishop. I said the name of Jesus could not give salvation until the after the cross.
That's right.
Christians were like, "How can you say that the name of Jesus is powerful?" Then you don't know theology.
The name became the name above all names after sacrifice.
That's true.
He was not the name above all names before the sacrifice.
Why? Because the Bible says, "I shall put my name in him." Meaning now when you say Jesus, you're saying Yahweh because the name Yahweh, which is the name above all name, has been infused into the name Yeshua.
SO WHEN YOU SAY YESHUA, you're saying YAHWEH
because the name Jesus is the name he was born with. Which other name was he given? So therefore, he was given a name above all other names. The name above all other names is Yahweh. Amen.
Because the name Jesus was already given. Jesus means deliverer, savior.
But he was given another name and that name was the the name above all names. That name is the name Yahweh. So when you shout Yeshua, you might as well just say Yahweh.
Amen.
When you say Jesus, what you're saying is what? Yahweh. Saying it in Hebrew doesn't change anything.
Amen. What changes is understanding what the name Jesus is loaded with. That's
right.
If you're going to clap for Jesus, clap for Jesus. Like you mean because remember Jesus wasn't the first one to be named Jesus.
The name Jesus wasn't a unique name.
If we just go to Mexico, you'll find a lot of Jesus.
In fact, my nickname is Pablo de Jesus.
When we are gaming, that's that's my name. That's my alter ego. We are playing video games. I'm like, this is Pablo. No, not no not esco.
So, so understand this by the spirit of God.
Amen.
Sacrifices. God brings God to the table immediately. Amen.
Prayer God needs to consider.
Cornelius was fasting and praying.
Fasting and praying. When the angel appeared to him, he never mentioned his fasting.
Yes, sir.
Do you know what he said? Your arms and prayers. Huh? Oh, yeah. Cornelius, your giving with your prayer has come before God for a memorial, not your fasting.
never mentioned this fast.
The art of sacrificing comes from understanding the exchange.
Amen.
People say when you give, just give because you love God. No, there's a giving for loving God and there's a giving to change your dimension.
Yes, sir. Amen.
Everything we do, we do because God loves us, not because we loved him first. He loved us first.
And he provided giving us a means to change where we are.
Amen.
Why didn't God just snap his fingers and forgive sin?
Why did he require a sacrifice to forgive sin? That tells you a sacrifice is better
than that becomes powerful if it's backed up by what? G. Sacrifice. giving
when you have worked all day
and you only have 3 hours to sleep
and you need 7 hours or 8 hours of sleep for you to be functional
but you take that one hour
and you say father I am on my knees just saying thank you. You just sacrifice. God is moved.
Because you are giving all that you have.
I feel like I'm talking to myself.
When you have helped so many people and every single one has betrayed you
and ONE MORE PERSON SHOWS UP for help
and you're not weary OF DOING GOOD, YOU JUST WHAT? SACRIFICE. Come on. Come on.
WHEN THOSE WHO STABBED YOU, INSULTED YOU, ACCUSED YOU, HARMED YOU, and are in distress
and you ARE THE FIRST ONE to run to rescue them.
You just sacrifice because in you, you don't want to help them and they shouldn't be helped. But you you you you inconvenienced yourself
for the sake of God for their sake.
This is why let me tell you this is a real hard posture.
I don't say this to say it for entertainment. I say this because I mean it.
There are some people if I saw face to face I probably rearrange their face.
But the Jesus in me
will never allow me to do that because the time they're in trouble, no matter what they have done to me, if I ever see them in the place of trouble, I promise YOU THE PEOPLE THEY COUNTED on won't show up, but I will show up. That is why God has made me greater than my critics.
THAT IS WHY GOD HAS ELEVATED me above those who are my naysayers. They point fingers because my posture, God looks at them and say, "You fool, don't you know that if you ever needed help,
sir,
he's probably the first person who's going to come and help you.
When this church is built on sacrifice,
there's a prophet I really love. He's a young prophet. And I say young in terms of ministry compared to other people. He used to be an ex-Muslim. He God uses him tremendously. One of actually few men of God that I can say my friend other than Prophet Jimmy who just came from the Congo, went to Canada and he came to see me. He said, "I'm coming to see you. We're going to watch the World Cup together. The Congo is playing."
I said, "Prophet, you're welcome."
He's one of the few people when I met him, he's never asked me for anything ever. He had just they just built their new auditorium and they needed chairs.
I sent him me and my wife sent him 30,000 to buy chairs in the church.
Listen, the man looked at me. He never asked me. He never even told me. I saw it without him telling me anything.
The reason why chairs are filled in our church is because we help somebody else fill their chairs. Amen. Amen.
You're not understanding the game here.
My sacrifice to enable somebody else to win souls
became the harvest I needed.
And do you know what happened after that? Arenas back to back for us. Amen.
Until now people don't understand how do you know how many times people have come to me and said like you what agents do you guys use? I said agents people do need agents to go and do a crusade. I didn't know that. Some other prophets even came up with theories that loi pays fitsers.
I'm like you really think we are going to spend money for it to just look packed? You're out of your mind.
Why? Because for them it doesn't make sense why God has positioned us where we are. But to me it makes sense because I'm a sacrificial giver.
Amen.
Before the year began, this year began, I showed you guys for the first time, woke up in the the last day of the year. What I do is all the men of God, fathers that have been an impact on my life, I have a special seed for each and every one of them because all of them have to bless me with a blessing for next year.
So I prepare my sacrifice towards the end of the from October, November, I'm already preparing my sacrifice for next year because I want to prevent anything or move anything. Let this man just pray for me. If he eats my sacrifice, if there was any trouble that was going to wait for me, it will already be terminated before it even arrives.
Hallelujah.
Thank you, Lord.
Hallelujah.
The sacrifice of Jesus has fixed the past, the present, and the future.
The only thing that remains potent in the spirit is what? A sacrifice.
That's my life.
You cannot know me personally or know my wife personally, know my family personally and you don't benefit because it is my nature to be sacrificial because I understand that there are times I may have wronged God. God doesn't want to hear me. But you know what? He won't ignore my sacrifice in the hands of a righteous man.
He has no choice. Let me tell you why God rejected Saul.
When Saul was rejected by God, he never sacrificed.
He only prayed.
You missed it. Somebody else may have caught it.
He never sacrificed. All he did is he prayed. God doesn't want to answer you.
He went to the prophets. Talk to me. Do you know where he sacrificed to the witch?
Uh-huh.
I'm here to give you this deep understanding so that you never waste again.
There's no time to waste. Your resources mean something. They need to produce something of substance.
I can't hear your amen.
Amen.
I can hear your amen.
Amen.
You can change where you are if you understand giving is spiritual.
It's not physical. It's spiritual.
When you understand how to give, you will never beg.
Amen.
When you understand how to give, you will never be in lack.
Yes, sir. When you understand how to give, you will never know limitation.
When you understand how to give,
you will never know what it is to be hindered.
Your life will be from glory
to glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to glory to glory. If I'm speaking to you from glory to glory to glory to glory, I can't hear you. Rise up on your feet from glory to glory to glory to glory.
You change how you give, you change your life. I have seen people who are bound bound bound bound bound and I tell them take this go before God and do this
and immediately they come back my son my daughter who was like this it has all all of it ended. The problem is you have been taught somebody is trying to steal from you.
Now I will confess there are those who want to steal from you.
How do you have a Tik Tok anointing but you're going to declare millions on me? I rather go to Pastor Joel and give.
You know some of you are desperate from a word from somebody who is empty of the word.
I I I just need a word.
No, you need Jesus.
Most people don't understand when prophecy comes forth.
Yes, sir.
It provokes spiritual battles. Because you have to contend for that word.
And some of you are wondering why you have so many battles. First of all, prophets, not prophets, are giving you words that you will never reap anything from. And now they have provoked they have started a whole conundrum in the spirit for you
because demons now will use that to torment you and to fight you
and now you're in a fight. You're not even understanding why you're in struggles because you took something from somebody that is nothing. So they gave you nothing. And that nothing is never empty because somebody will accompany it. And if it's not the Holy Spirit, it will be an evil spirit. That is why the Bible says it like this.
For every word a man shall speak, we'll have to give an account for.
You have to give an account for. Why? Why do you have to give an account for every word? Because words are not just words. They carry something.
Spirits need words to move. You see, when a demon is inside somebody, if you touch them, they won't leave. They might manifest. But you need to tell them come out. Then what happens is it creates a portal in the spirit and a doorway that that spirit can walk through to go wherever you are sending it.
Words is what demons use to move from one place to another.
There are dimensions of the spirit where the most wicked spirits are waiting for lesser spirits to influence men and women to START DOING SOME VILE ACTS, SOME VILE WORDS, some unclean things. SO THAT BY WHEN THEY DO THAT, IT OPENS A PORTAL and an access for them to come into your dimension.
Learn how to sacrifice.
Amen. When you learn how to sacrifice, your entire life changes.
Nothing in the spirit. Listen to me. The blood of Jesus is still speaking because it is a sacrifice.
Amen. That's right.
Listen to what the scriptures finish and saying. Look at what happened. Go back to to uh 2 Samuel where we were reading.
I want to show you this. Stand up. We're going to finish with this. I want you to see this. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Somebody say, "Thank you, Jesus."
Thank you, Jesus.
Somebody shout, "Thank you, Jesus."
Thank you, Jesus.
Can we make it fit in? Look at that. Okay. Verse 23.
Verse 24. Let's go back to where I was.
So David bought the treasuring floor and the oxen for 50 shekels of silver. Verse 25. And David built there an altar unto the Lord an offering and offered a burnt offering and a peace offering.
So the Lord was intreated for the land and the plague was stayed from Israel.
Not pray. Prayer did not keep the plague.
A sacrifice did.
Amen.
Not just any sacrifice. A sacrifice that cost him.
He built an altar, offered an offering before God and a peace offering. Do you realize everything that you say I receive peace?
There was an offering for it.
Wow.
The biggest prayer requests you have are tied to a sacrifice. The Bible is telling you that the plague didn't come
because God was moved by what he did
and they were elevated above the plague. So when the Bible says a thousand shall fall on your right hand, on your left hand, and 10,000 on your right, but it shall not come near thee, the coming near thee is not that the plague will happen here and you will be there. No, the plague will happen where you are, but you're above it.
So while it's touching everybody in the physical EVERYBODY'S WONDERING WHY AREN'T YOU dying in the spirit you are standing above IT I'M HERE TO PROPHESY TO SOMEBODY
YOU ARE ABOVE THAT SITUATION
YOU ARE ABOVE THAT CRISIS
YOU ARE ABOVE ECONOMIC CRISIS
YES
YOU ARE ABOVE DIFFICULTY
YES
IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF
JESUS
