For the last 25 years, we have been ministering there. hotel and I I studied in Australia.

We shouldn’t pray what we need. You shouldn’t pray, you know, what do we need. You shouldn’t pray what you want, but it’s for the fullness of it. [Music] We’ll come back to kingdom. Let’s come to the kingdom of God. Okay. 125. Let’s go study the kingdom of heaven. The spiritual battle. Spiritual warfare. spiritual warfare. Yeah. And so for the kingdom of God, who what does the child of God have a battle with? Who is your enemy? We’ve heard of the term separation. Have you heard of that term? What does it mean to be separated? Separation is being separate from the body and spirit and living as the spirit. Separation is do a removing of external things such as jewelry or wearing white clothing, but is a the spirit living separate from the body. And once you do that, none of those external things matter. Are you people that are separated? Go home and think about it. Who is your battle with? Who is your enemy? Many times we say the devil. Have you seen him? What are you going to do if you catch the devil? Are you going to beat the devil now that you caught him? Hallelujah. [Music] You remember the illustration I used with the three children yesterday. Do you remember? And so this mind morning and night is with the spirit [Music] until It is with the spirit and in five minutes it leaves the the voice of the spirit and now hears the voice of the the flesh. Oh, what a wretched person I am. Chapter 8 verse two. It has given me freedom. It’s not a future tense, but it’s a present tense. What did he give? Who gave us that freedom? The law of the spirit that has given us freedom from the law of sin and death. And when we talk about death and sin, it is the law. It is a law. It is a law. Sin and death are the law. You cannot win with the law through the flesh or through through you cannot win the law by religion. By religion, gravitational. gravitational law. Do you understand gravitational law? Whatever goes up comes down. [Music] You’ve seen the airplanes go up in the air. Doesn’t it have gravitational pull? But how does that plane fly? It operates in a different law. And there’s something even greater than the gravitational called the aviation law. To overcome a law, only another law can do that. Oh, we don’t know. Sin and death are a law. We cannot move it from here. Only from death can it move. But to overcome it, we can only do it with another law. And that is the law of the spirit. What is the law of the spirit? What the spirit says is not a tale. What the spirit says is not an opinion. Whatever the spirit says is law. Hallelujah. Amen. Whatever the Holy Spirit says, and just forgive them and don’t hate them. Don’t mock them. Don’t don’t make fun of them. Just give. When the Holy Spirit says, it’s not something that if you want to do, you should. It is the law. [Music] What happens when you break the law? What happens when you think about if you jump from second story of a building? You will die. If you break the law, you die. Hallelujah. The Holy Spirit is not coming into your life as a friend. Jesus is the friend. English guide as your guide. What did you understand if I say I’m going? What did you understand from Jesus saying I’m going? We think all of this is a secret. Mystery revelation secret. What does that mean when he says I am going and now if you call me even I’m not coming. Hello. Do not disturb me anymore. Hello What else did Jesus say just like me? And now another person I’m going to give. What is he going to do? Who needs a guide? Normally when you look for a guide, someone who has vision, when do they need a guide? Oh, when you don’t know how to walk this way, if you had not previously walked through this road, you will need a guide. Then you will need a guide. At the time of Jesus, the Jewish faith was one of the best. If he could have taken the Jewish religion and the Jewish faith in God and he would have said that was enough, is he going to come back and create another religion? Will he go back to create another one? And but Jesus did not create a religion. But Jesus created a new way. He created a way to a new kingdom. When you come into this kingdom, the spirit that lives within you, those of you who live in the spirit, you have not previously walked on this road. You don’t know how to walk on this road. So for that, you need a guide. You have not walked on this road before. [Music] If you are thinking that you can walk and you know how to walk on this road, you are simply talking religion. If you think you can walk on this road for tomorrow, you are in a religion. You are simply in a religion. [Music] Many times we say we know know how to walk. Many times we think 21 days fasting it’s solved. Three times I’ll pray it’ll be done. It’s not going to happen. You haven’t walked on this road. You don’t know this road. It it is living by the spirit. Even though you are in the world, you are not people of the world. You are living as people of another world living here. Amen. So you cannot simply say you have a relationship with the Holy Spirit by just a terry meeting. to walk on this road. My sheep Next step, my sheep who hear my voice will follow me and it comes with every step that we take. My sheep will hear my voice and follow me. You don’t know. You need a guide to walk on this path. [Music] If you think you could go from here to home, you’re wrong. You are normal normal citizen of this world. You’re a normal citizen in this world. Dear God, I don’t know. Speak to me. Let the people look at you and say, “What does he say? Does he doesn’t he know? He doesn’t know. If you think you know and there destruction is waiting for you who is your enemy. Let us find out. Let’s go to Corinthians chapter 10. Corinthians. Even though we are in this world, we don’t fight as in the world. 10:2 Corinthians 10:2. Yeah. Allah. 1 Corinth. 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 10:2. Not 1 Corinthians, brother. Second Corinth. Ah. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. We’re not using the strategy of those in the flesh. We’re using the strategy of one that lives in the spirit. But so you have weapons where our weapons have strength. We pull down strongholds with these weapons. We pull down strongholds. So what is our warfare? And that’s our only warfare. Have you broken down the stronghold? [Music] What’s the first stronghold? No, I’m telling that this is where you have to fight. Have you ever fought? Have you ever fought? War is not just simply in fasting rebuking the devil. What is war? What is it to tear down? What is the first stronghold? Have you ever hit this down? How are How are strongholds made? Through brick. What’s the problem with a stronghold? Do you remember the story of Jehoshaphat? And they’re calling back from each other across strongholds. But the people on the other side cannot hear. That’s the problem with the stronghold. No matter what people on the other side say, and the people on the other side of the stronghold won’t understand. You know why people don’t understand when you say words like forgive? What are you doing? Because there’s a stronghold. Why do you not understand when someone says don’t be tense? Because there’s a stronghold. And we’re just not understanding when that is said. Who was the first king? Who is the first king? Who is his enemy? There’s a king that lost without an enemy. His mind, his imagination was his enemy. Yesterday the young children came to me. And so they said, “Pray for us.” And I asked them, “What is your desire?” I want to study medicine. And I asked, “Is that possible? So what has the enemy put there? And he has put the trap there. Not even the ability to think about it. system. You know what the world system is trying to make you not think to prevent you from thinking. Can you go ask the price of a car in the Rolls-Royce showroom? Can you go ask for the the value of a the price of a car? We have this thought that we have a thought that the salesperson will laugh at us as soon as he sees us. If I set my foot in that showroom, what is he going to think system? [Music] The system, the world system is trying to take the dream, the ability to dream from you. He doesn’t want your money. Doesn’t want your car. He doesn’t want anything of yours. He wants to take the dream, the ability to dream from you. Even after 10 generations, you can’t do anything. Jesus walking even with him. Not Jesus, Jehovah and Jehovah. And even Jehovah walking together, it took 40 years. What should have done in four days and receiving the promised land in four days took 40 years. Why? because they couldn’t believe and so their minds became as slaves and God didn’t even let them fight. What did he do in those 40 years and they multiplied? and that generation was buried there. And with the next generation, he made war, made them fight because their mind was not saved. You need to cast down imagination. Do we need to? There’s no reason to study this. [Music] Imagine if you’re having chest pain. What imaginations you’re going to have. Do you get that imagination? Do you get the pictures in your imagination? But in between those thoughts, do you think about the healed by his stripes? And within four days, you’ll have the scar on your chest. Imagination. Does your imagination have power system? What is the world or the system going to do with your imagination? What is what are they trying to do? They want to move you far away from the will of God. Are you with me? Abraham. Jesus spoke to me one time and said, “I ministered for three and a half years. I know Abraham. I know David more than you, but in my years of ministry, I never spoke about them once.” Why didn’t Jesus speak about them? Amen. Those who have been revealed are being used as an example. [Music] In your time there was no one that was revealed your life in the kingdom there in in there was no one revealed within that. There was no one born of woman greater than John. [Music] But those born in the kingdom now. So are then are you greater than John or smaller? Are you greater than David or smaller? Are you greater than Abraham or smaller? But if I say an example and say like Abraham or like Isaac, am I bringing you down or am I bringing you up? [Music] And they were desiring for what we are experiencing now. You desire, they desire to be born now, but you are desiring to be born back then. We’re walking with bows and arrows. And they were thinking in their imagination to be born today like you. What do we should we do with imagination? Cast it down in the weapons. Is there prayer? Is prayer a weapon? In Ephesians chapter 6, what kind of prayer is that? How should we pray? Pray without ceasing. Did you pray this morning? Do you think it’s a joke to pray without seizing? No. When you say pray without ceasing, it’s praying without stopping. Is that possible? You know that half hour you prayed in the morning and start praying like that without ceasing. Pray straight till midnight. Is that possible? Even ourselves will be bored. So then that’s not what it means to be pray without stopping. Prayer is not just giving a list upwards. You don’t need to say anything. He knows everything. Isn’t that what the word says? Isn’t that what the word says? Then why are we giving a list that way? Then we have the doubt maybe he didn’t hear me. We see a situation where Jesus prayed publicly at the tomb of Lazarus. What did Jesus pray? I know my God will hear my prayer. Who said that to who? Who said that to who will hear my prayer will always hear my prayer. I know who said that. Jesus said that to Jesus. My God. my prayer. I know he will hear my prayer. So when you sit to pray, what should you pray? I know. I know. Praise the Lord. When you sit to pray, cancer, you know it’s cancer. And thank you, God, for healing. But what comes in your mind? I’m going to die. What should you do? Cast down. break down that stronghold. What do you get and what you lose from from it comes from your mind. I explained that to you yesterday. Those who sew when it brings great yield, you have no worry. But when you cast your seed on the stony ground that yield becomes very low. No one can stop. What these pictures that come in our imagination, we should break them down. Hallelujah. private school $1,500 monthly. Now imagine there’s a private school on one side that has,500 tuition. Public school maybe like maybe like$100 or $200. And so on the other side there’s a public school maybe it’s$100 $200 and you’re going to go enroll your child normally. So likely where are you going to put your child? Huh? What was the first question? First question God asked Adam. Do you know the first question God asked Adam? Who told you to eat? Do not eat this. Who told you this that you are naked? Before doing that, was he naked? I don’t know. Naked. Even after was he naked? By the end of it, what he had he did not realize even though we have God, what do we feel in our heart? I have nothing. God was once above now he’s in our heart. But still we feel I still feel I have no one. Who told you this? Before you pray, you should ask your mind this question. Who told you this? Who said you will not have a child? Who said your children will not go places? Who told you your child will not be in medicine? Who told you your company won’t grow? Who told you you won’t be a billionaire? Should ask you a question. Hallelujah. If it is not from God and do not believe it if it’s not from God, just break it down. Because even if you cannot believe what the spirit of the Lord says, it will happen. Hallelujah. And so this past week I’ve been living at the home of someone named Adam and he lives in a a small little apartment. And so a few months ago I called and I and I’m familiar with him. When he came to India, he stayed with me. And I told him, “Adam, I’m coming.” And he told me initially he said pastor I have a small apartment but I said I don’t know that but God told me to come to your home and so I prayed and I told him your season’s going to change and he said pastor I don’t have any meetings or a church. He said no problem I’m coming and I’m going to be with you. And so I told him, “When I come to your place, I am going to see your season change. With my eyes, I will see your season change.” After the first week, I stayed with him and left. No change in his season. God, didn’t you say this to me? And and when you said you when you come I come there I will see his season change. And so I had traveled around and I had texted pastor Manu and I had no idea about this meeting set up last. And so it was at the last moment Pastor Manu told me if you are available please come. And so I called up Adam Phoenix and Adam I’m coming back to Phoenix. And so he told me pastor a big door is opening for me. God is going opening a door where I can be one of the pastors of one of the biggest churches in in Phoenix. Pastor, please pray. And so the other day I came and the last few days I was here this morning worship. It was his first worship service. I went there and saw it and after that is when I came here. God told me when you come you will see that season when the Holy Spirit says no matter what obstacle comes God is able to do it but you have to believe. So what do we need to do always? Do you think that simply casting down half hour three times a day is enough? How many times? Some people whether your eyes are from your eyes opening to your eyes closing. Can you pray without ceasing? When your mind says it won’t happen, you will say it will happen. It will happen. [Music] Have you said, “Bless the Lord, oh my soul.” When do you say that? Who said that verse, “Oh, bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” Who is saying that to who? David is saying to his own mind, “Have you ever said, David lived at that level?” David knew that if he said it to his mind, it will happen. My soul, why are you upset or disquited? What is he telling his mind constantly? You are no longer going to be your son is going to kill you. Saul is going to kill you. That’s when he’s telling his mind. Why do you think he wrote his songs? He’s telling his mind. Oh my soul, praise the Lord. Without if there’s no time, don’t just rebuke me, but remember his good works. He is speaking to his mind. And he knows whatever the mind believes is what bears fruit. What are you being separated from? How did Jesus say we should pray? He told us a style to pray. What do you need? Just think that you have received it and you will get it. law of attraction. There’s a religion that that teaches the law of attraction. And even Pentecostals have not received that revelation. What What do you want? Believe in your mind that you received him and then you will receive. Imagination. Imagination. Imagination is like the womb. And if a seed falls into the womb, nurture and give life, give life to that. It is the womb that gives life to the seed. Amen. The womb doesn’t ask any questions and the womb just gives birth to the seed within it. Job once asked, “What am I afraid of?” And that’s what happened. Whatever you’re afraid of, what you are afraid of, even God cannot stop happening. If that seed that falls into your mind, even God cannot stop the growth of that seed. Only until you fully experience it. imagination. So always put good seed into otherwise the the good seed means the the voice of the Holy Spirit other otherwise the word of the Lord constantly be putting down because what else what only do you need? What do you need for your house? Hallelujah. And put it as a seed into your mind and when it gives birth, enjoy it. Hallelujah. Prayer is what breaks down the fiery darts that come against this sea. These fiery darts need to be destroyed. And prayer comes in in the in your heart. Prayer does not go outward 24 hours a day 365. It needs to be broken. Break down any thoughts that come against your children. Fan thoughts against your family. Break down. Whatever thoughts against your education break down. Even if it’s in front of your eyes, you shouldn’t believe because the word that you believe can bring that back. It can resurrect. It is the what is dead can be resurrected. Hallelujah. Let me tell you one more thing about the Holy Spirit. Let us hear about the Holy Spirit. In the Corinthians, it says those who talk in tongues speak to who? And they speak in they speak to God mysteries. And by the uncction of who? By the uncction of the spirit. They’re speaking to God in mysteries. What is it that you need to remind God this much? What is so hidden that you have to remind God? It’s not with you. But who is reminding you? The voice that is given by the Holy Spirit remind the Holy Spirit with your tongue is reminding the Lord. What great mystery is hidden. Second Corinthians chapter 5 beyond the before the foundation of the world for your glory the ministry that God has put together it is hidden as a mystery. What is the mystery? before the foundation. For whose glory, for my glory, you also have glory? 1 Corinthians um 10:5 Corinthians 5 105 2 Corinthians 10:5 sorry no 105 Okay. 1 Corinthians 1 Corinthians 2 299 5 y 1 Corinthians 2 5 ah ah Okay. Tell each other and say you have a glory for your glory. If you fail a grade, you lose your glory. When was this ordained? When was this established? For whose glory? For my glory. [Music] What is this mystery? The hidden wisdom of God. Where is all this plan that God is saying? Where’s that wisdom? Where did he put that plan? You guys plan for your children. Where do you put that? You put it in your mind. So where is that plan of glory for you? It is in the mind of God. Who knows the things of God other than the spirit of [Music] Just as you know your mind, those who know the mind of God [Music] Why has the Holy Spirit come for your glory? What God has prepared. Amen. Hallelujah. Okay. think that I’m uh building a church and if I stand go stand in front of it and pray, how should I pray? How will I pray? How will I pray? provide all the resources. When we ask God to provide everything, what does that mean? It means I have nothing. We start our prayer with I don’t have anything. Where is this concept of I have nothing? When you were cast out of the kingdom, what we had now is nothing. when the savior is coming into our heart but now we’re praying I have nothing [Music] glory In the fornowledge of God, my church is the work done. Hello in the forn knowledge of God is the work on the building of my church done. Is your child’s education done? Is the marriage of your children done? You are not walking for victory. You are walking from victory. You’re not walking for victory. You are walking in victory. Okay. [Music] Before the foundation of the world, God said, “Okay, December, December, okay, January, on January 10th on 2026, a person named Manu from Arizona, from Arizona, he was going to come to India and $100,000 $100,000. He’ll give and when it comes the month of April that work will be done when the end of April comes ination it will be the inauguration when was this written before the foundation of the world wasn’t this completed okay now if I go to that building and if I’m praying in the spirit in tongues if the Holy Spirit is giving me that uncction and I pray and I’m giving a secret to God what secret is the Holy Spirit giving to for [Music] mention. Did I ask? Did I say I have nothing? No. And that’s when Manu pastor has this plan to go to India. And at some point some $100,000 came. He came down to India. He came with other intentions completely by January 5th. Manu pastor’s plans have changed 9739 and he has a specific phone number in his head [Music] and he’s wondering why is this number coming in my head and he calls that number and he calls and comes straight to to pastor and gives his suitcase and then Manu Pastor goes back to Kerala and after his work in Kerala comes back to America and then only the light bulb clicks. Do you have you experienced this? And that’s all I have. [Music] Tongues is not just simply babble. It is the purpose of you from before the foundation. The secret that the Holy Spirit is reminding God. It is reminding God. Holy Spirit is reminding God. I’m not reminding. The Holy Spirit knows the mind of God. Hallelujah. Let us stand this morning. Whatever the Holy Spirit says, it is the seed. If you put anything in your mind and it is our job to destroy what comes against that seed. Pray in the language that you know. If you don’t know to pray in your language, don’t pray. When are you seen as weak when I see the weakness in your prayer because you don’t know how to pray? [Music] We think we are strong in prayer, but the Holy Spirit looks at us differently. He sees your weakness and he’s saying, “Lord, don’t hear any of this.” And he is now interceding for us to God through another language. Amen. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Amen. Let us pray in the spirit in tongues. If you have not received the anointing of the spirit, where does it come from? Where does it come from? It comes from us by the uncction of the spirit. Any noise that comes from the tip of our tongue. What language did you learn that’s not a sound? How did you learn Malayalam? Hindi. You’ve learned language through sounds. When you study the spirit, when you study the language of the spirit, it is also a sound. And what the spirit gives guidance to is sound. And when sound varies, it is language. And if sounds change, no one understands. And that’s why the Holy Spirit says this is what people won’t understand. Who will only understand? Only God will understand. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
