Genesis chapter 1 verse 26, and God said, let us make man in our image after our likeness
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Now, one of the things that intrigues me a lot in the Bible, because I'm a person of images and I love to read the Bible from an imagination point of view,
and I've always looked at this part of scripture, especially Genesis 1 chapters 1, 2, and 3, and I've tried to imagine what did Adam look like.
I've always tried to imagine, and I've thought about this on various moments, so I'll just do a quick recap, and we know from scripture that there are four stages of birth, four stages in which a man can enter this world in the Bible.
Aside from those four stages, it is impossible for a man to enter the world. The first stage belongs to one man and one man alone, Adam, and the Bible says the way he came onto this earth is that he was created, okay, formed.
He's unique alone in that category. The second was what I would like to call the extraction of Eve from Adam, which is separate from the creation that Adam had, because Eve came from Adam,
and the Bible says from the side, so people say rib, but we shall talk about that another day, but from the side. So Eve was created, extracted from Adam.
The third is Cain and Abel, where the Bible says they were birthed, so they came through a woman, okay, and the final one is in the New Testament where Jesus is born of a virgin.
So every man must come onto this earth in one of those four ways, the most predominant of which is the third. We do not know if virgins are giving birth in this time and age. If they are, we need to come and first test and see.
Okay, so there are four stages. That was the uniqueness that Adam had, and I remember one time I told you that Adam, because he was not born of a woman, did not have a navel.
Okay, so anyone who tells you they've seen Adam in the spirit, and he has a navel, lying to you, and also we understand, and I'm heading somewhere with this, that Adam, when he was created,
was created at a particular age, because in the Scriptures, in Genesis 1 and 2, there is a law of maturity, which implies that when God created things, everything that he created, he created it at its mature stage.
We do not see seeds in Genesis 1 and 2. Things are made in their fullness, so man is made in his maturity, a bird is made in its maturity, there's no egg.
All right, and I've told you that the reason for that was so that later there would be no confusion as to what something is supposed to look like.
So a man has a particular way he looks, say amen.
Okay, then the Bible says everything then produces after its kind, but for man it was different, because he was made in the image and likeness of God, he would produce after the kind of God.
Okay, and therefore multiply God's on the face of this earth.
And we also know that Adam, though created at a maturity stage, because he's the first Adam, and Christ came as the last one, Christ came in the similitude of the first one.
And so the idea is that the last Adam died, started ministry at 30, died at around 33.
The understanding is that the first Adam was probably created at around the same age, youthful, so not an old man, praise the Lord.
And so we understand that from a physical perspective, he was unique.
But more so than how he looked is the capabilities that the Adam had.
I will spend a lot of time on this scripture and ponder about the abilities that that first man had before the fall.
Because we can get ideas from scripture in that he was unable to age, which shows what God desires of us in this time and age.
It's a revelation. Praise the Lord.
Second, that he did not eat out of hunger, he ate out of pleasantry.
He ate to enjoy.
And I was telling a few people the other day that the human body can survive without food for about maybe three to four days.
That means you are capable of going without food for three to four days.
That is fallen man.
The reason why you get hungry after a few hours is because you created a habit.
And so because you've eaten after a particular amount of time, your body gets used to that.
So actually you can do an Esther first.
Guys are quiet because this one, you can praise the Lord.
That's why if a person lives a fasted life, over time it becomes easier to do so.
You can accustom your body. It's a power that we have.
Quickly, because this is not what I'm ministering today.
So Adam had those unique capabilities and many more.
And we know that because he was fashioned, Christ came as the last Adam,
that a portion of the things that Adam, that Christ was doing while he was here on earth,
were assigned possibly of the things that Adam was capable of before the fall.
Coming a storm and the likes, praise the Lord.
Though there are some things that were seclusive only to Jesus.
Now, we also know that in this time and age, there are people, men and women born on earth,
who the world labels peculiar.
They are strange. They don't appear the same like other people.
There are people who are born with the ability of total recall.
What that means is that a person has the ability to remember something all the way up to the day they were born.
That is called the ability of total recall and their human beings.
You choose any date, any time from the day they were born, they will remember it.
It's a unique ability.
There are people born with mathematical gifts, others born with some weird super strength,
and we call them weird and unique.
But God allows such people to come on earth to show you what it was supposed to be like before the fall.
So then we can presume that Adam would have had the ability, who knows, of super speed.
There was no such thing as forgetting.
All these things came in right after the fall.
Now, why is this important?
Because as much as Adam might have had specific abilities attached to a natural body or to his natural body,
I want to focus on the spirit of man.
Because Adam and many other estimate people in scripture had a unique ability to access things in the spirit and use them to their advantage.
I pray you're listening to me.
The reason why most of us find ourselves constantly at a disadvantage is because even though we understand that God hid certain things
at levels of realms in the spirit, specifically in Christ Jesus, we do not know how to access and grow.
If there is a realm where spiritual blessings are, how do I contact the blessing that I want and make it come down and apply to my life?
And so we see that there were men in the Bible who found secrets of how to access the spirit world in different ways.
And while I won't dwell on that for long, I'll just give some examples.
Adam is the first because I believe that the Garden of Eden was not just a physical location.
It was a realm that was connected to earth.
Because in that time before the fall, spirit and physical were one world.
And Adam, unlike angels and other spirit beings, had the capacity to step into both the natural and the spiritual at the same time.
So here he was and I believe the Garden of Eden was a realm, a spiritual one.
And so this man lived what you would call an ascended life.
Oh, I wish you're paying attention.
So in the Garden, no matter we don't know how long he lived, he lived before the fall.
He lived an ascended life.
He had access to advantages in the spirit that got lost to the total population of humanity,
with the exception of a few who walked with God and tapped into it.
And those who were demonic, who worked with demons that allowed them to access certain things.
So Adam is the first example.
We see that Enoch, the Bible says, walked with God and says, was taken away.
He was no more.
And I've told you before that Enoch did not go to heaven.
The Bible doesn't say that.
It says he was taken and he was no more.
Okay?
There are attributes that he grasped by walking with a spirit that gave him an advantage of translation.
And the Bible goes on to say that Abraham, Genesis chapter 15 verse 12, falls into a deep sleep.
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abraham and low, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
When he's sleeping, what he's seeing is happening in the spirit around him.
Are you with me?
Because he's fast asleep.
Okay?
And it shows us a certain way.
Certain men could be able to tap into advantages in the spirit.
Because Abraham's way through deep sleep is different from Adam, different from Enoch.
Are you with me?
And if you move on, you find examples.
The Bible says David said, I saw the Lord say to my Lord, sit here at my right hand.
I'll put your enemies under your foot.
Now, it could have happened one of two ways.
Either David was taken in the spirit and saw it, or he saw it in his mind, which is another way to access something in the spirit.
The Bible says in the book of Daniel, Daniel chapter 4 verse 10, thus were the visions of my head in my bed.
So a person can be in bed, not see things with their eyes, but see things in their head.
It's another way a man or a woman can access an advantage in the spirit.
Then we have examples of Ezekiel and Isaiah.
Isaiah says, in the year that King Isaiah died, I saw the Lord, seated upon the throne.
That's not in his mind.
He's taken up another way a man can grasp.
We have people like Elijah.
Elijah, you know the story.
A chariot comes for him, a whirlwind, and he's taken.
Again, I do not agree he was taken to heaven.
Can I show you something?
You know the story, so I'm going to run through it for the sake of time.
In 2 Kings chapter 2, Elijah is taken up to heaven.
They say, I don't agree.
It says into heaven by whirlwind, because the heaven here is not the heaven you're thinking about.
And I'm going to show you what here.
So he's taken up.
2 Kings chapter 3, verse 11.
This is after Elijah is gone.
Remember we've just come from chapter 2.
He's gone.
Jehoshaphat said, is there not here a prophet of the Lord that we may inquire of the Lord by him?
And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, here is Elisha.
So Elijah is gone.
Elisha is now the prophet in the land.
That's why when he asks, is there not a prophet?
The prophet is Elisha, not Elijah.
Because Elijah is gone.
Who is asking?
The king called Jehoshaphat.
Now, this man grows old and dies.
When he grows old and dies, 2 Chronicles chapter 21 continues the story from here.
Give me verse 1.
Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers.
So it's telling you he's dead now.
And was buried with his fathers in the city of David.
Who took over?
Jehoram, his son, reigned in his state.
Give me verse 12.
And there came a writing to him from.
I thought Elijah was gone.
I don't know if you understand what I'm saying here.
There came a writing to this king Jehoram.
From Elijah the prophet saying, that says the Lord.
Now if Elijah is in heaven, where is this coming from?
Deep guys.
Okay.
Because you see people have tried to...
Now you see they misunderstood the debts.
It's a perfect book.
Okay, let's leave that.
So Elijah, walking with God,
accessed something in the spirit that allowed him to leave this earth a particular way.
The Bible says of Jesus.
Jesus, when he came onto this earth.
John chapter 1 and verse 18.
John 1 18.
He said no man has seen God at any time.
Only the begotten son.
Which is in the bosom of the father, he has declared.
So Jesus now introduces another dimension by which a man can access things in the spirit.
He's saying that I'm here with you, but I'm currently in the bosom of the father.
That's what you call multi-dimensional.
I'm trying to show you that there are multiple ways by which men access things in the spirit.
Now, why is this important?
The reason it's important is because of these multiple ways by which men could access certain advantages in the spirit.
Something happened when Adam fell.
When he fell, an entity came into the realm of men that had never been there.
The entity we call death.
And we know that death is a personality.
As I've told you, because Scripture says death and Hades were thrown into the lake in the book of Revelation.
We know it's an entity.
And we know that this entity somehow came into existence when Adam fell.
Because God told him, the day you eat of this, you shall, you shall truly die.
Now, from that time, this entity rampaged.
Please pay attention.
This entity rampaged in form, various forms.
Sickness came into existence, not just death of living this earth.
Poverty existed.
Forgetting things came into existence.
Growing old, okay?
Do you know that we don't grow old because of time?
We grow old because of the presence of death.
Because there was a time in the Garden of Eden that was different from this one.
There's a decay that takes place upon the earth because of the presence of death here.
Now, that death rampaged.
And the Bible says death reigned from Adam to Moses.
And it says even over them that it not seen in the similitude of Adam.
Romans chapter 5 verse 21.
Okay.
Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses.
Even over them that had not seen after the similitude.
Now, what does that mean? That death reigned from Adam to Moses.
It means that there were two dispensations.
There was a period where death reigned from Adam.
And Moses is standing in as the dispensation of the law until Jesus.
So death was doing havoc.
It was killing people before their time.
The Bible says a fool dies before his time.
It was coming for people when it's their time to die.
Have you watched Final Fantasy?
It comes for you.
I want you to imagine this entity and I don't want to describe it for you.
Because some of you will have bad nights.
But it would come for you when your time has come.
Thirdly, even though you're living on this earth for how long?
It would wait.
That's why it says Adam lived 930 and died.
No, no, no, and died.
It waited.
It reigned.
It was a ruler.
It was a king on this earth.
Are you with me?
Now, I wish you knew.
Pay attention.
Jesus came to confront this entity.
Okay?
Came to confront it.
There are gates by which men can access things in the spirit.
The first gate which I'll focus on today is the gate of salvation.
And I'll explain to you because in John chapter 10 verse 1,
there were people who Jesus said,
Jesus said very, very, I say unto you,
He that entered not by the door, referring to Himself,
into the shiphold, but climbs up some other way.
The same is a thief and a robber.
And he's talking about entry into the spirit.
Later he talks about going in and out to get past here.
And he's saying there are people who don't use him as the channel.
They have found a way to go and get things.
And he calls them robbers and thieves.
And that's why I say then that to access certain advantages in the spirit,
you must capture the gate that is salvation.
Now, I'm going to take you through this slowly.
Because some of you, maybe it will make sense.
Who knows?
And I pray most of you it makes sense now.
That when Jesus came onto this earth,
He was born in the Old Testament,
walked, did miracles in the Old Testament,
died in the Old Testament, resurrected in the new.
Okay?
That's one.
Number two, that when Jesus came, He came to follow patterns.
Patterns that already existed in the Old Testament.
For example, in Genesis chapter 22,
the Bible gives us a story of Abraham going up a mountain to sacrifice his son.
The pattern there is that the place where Abraham sacrificed his son
would later be the same place where Jesus was crucified.
So the pattern was set, the place was set for him.
There could be no other place.
You get me?
If you go to Numbers 19, it shows us the process by which he would suffer on the cross.
I don't want to go into that.
And Exodus 12 shows us the result.
Because it says they put blood on the doorsteps and death came and passed by.
So everything was in pattern form.
So when he came, he came to follow that sort of pattern.
Are you with me so far?
Now, why didn't Jesus just find some other way to save man?
The reason he had to die is because of the three stages that exist within salvation.
Please listen to me.
The three stages.
One is the law of substitution.
Two is identification.
And three is resurrection.
Connected to it is ascension.
I'll say them again.
First is the law of substitution.
Second is identification.
Third is resurrection.
And attached to it is ascension.
So let's start with substitution.
When Christ came on this earth to confront death, the only way to confront it was to use the law of substitution,
which God had brought into existence the moment Adam fell.
That's why in Genesis chapter 4, when you see Cain and Abel sacrificing to God, I often want to find out,
where did Abel get the revelation of offering the best of his sheepfold?
And why didn't Cain get it?
I always ask that question because the law of substitution says that when you are supposed to die,
you can exchange something and put it in your place.
It happens in witchcraft.
It happens in anything spiritual.
So Jesus, by his wisdom, came on earth first and foremost to implement the law of substitution.
And it was impossible except by death.
Sacrifice cannot exist unless something dies.
And that's why the Bible says for the wages of sin is death.
And so what Jesus' death actually did was deal directly with the issue of sin.
Please, I pray you're paying attention to what I'm saying.
Jesus' death dealt directly with the issue of sin.
Romans chapter 5 and verse 6, quick.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Mark 10, 45.
For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give his life as a ransom for many.
So he gave his life as a ransom.
There was an exchange that took place the day that he died.
Now, why is that important?
It is important because when Christ died, he directly dealt with the issue of sin.
But if he had stopped there, we would not have redemption.
We would not.
Why?
Because other people had died before.
Yes?
So he could not have stopped there.
Now please understand that when he was dying, two things had to happen.
The first was the breaking of the body.
The second was the spilling of blood.
1 Corinthians chapter 11, 24 to 26.
When he had given thanks, he break it and said, take it.
This is my body, which is broken for you.
So broken means he died.
Then he says, do this in remembrance of me.
Verse 25, after the same manner, he took the cup when he had stopped saying,
this cup is the New Testament in my blood.
This do ye as often as you drink in remembrance of me.
26.
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till it comes.
Now, oh my God.
When Jesus died, the body was broken.
But blood had to be spilled.
If Jesus died without blood spilling, you would have a man who died in vain.
And scripture talks about it.
That's why, let me show you something to show you that God is meticulous.
Leviticus 24 and verse 16, there was a law that if a person blasphemed the name of the Lord,
he would be put to death.
And all the congregations are what?
This is the reason they tried to stone him.
And it's a reason why they could not succeed.
Because if he was stoned, his body would be broken, but the blood would not be spilled.
Are you understanding what I'm saying here?
It would not be spilled.
And 1 John 1 verse 7 says it.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another.
And the blood of Jesus Christ, his son, cleanses us from all sin.
So without the shedding of blood, there's no remission of sin.
So he had to bleed.
So Jesus not only came to die, he had to die a particular way.
Now, let me show you why.
Not only did he have to die a particular way in terms of spilling blood,
also the manner in which he was killed had to be specific.
And there's a reason I want to show you.
The body takes care of sin because he has died.
The blood wipes away all that.
The scripture then goes on to say that Galatians 3.13, he was hung on a tree.
And it says, he that is hung on a tree is cursed.
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law.
Being made a curse for us, for it is written,
cursed is every man, everyone that hangeth on a tree.
So he couldn't hang on metal.
He couldn't hang on metal.
It had to be wood because dying on wood dealt with the curse of the law.
So let me just go back a bit.
His body is broken, deals with death.
Blood spills, sin is wiped out,
hangs on a wooden,
and it deals with the curse of the law.
But not only that, he also had to die on a cross, Colossians 2.14.
And I'm going to show you what that means, why it's different from the tree.
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.
So, he is hung on a tree, it deals with the curse of the law.
But nailed, he had to be nailed,
because in the spirit there were ordinances written.
Something said, this one has not done this, this one has not done this, this one has not done this.
So every time they put a nail in the spirit,
those things were nailed onto that cross with him.
Are you with me?
God is particular in how he does things.
And so here's how it was, you watch movies,
you think that when Jesus was taking up a cross,
he's taking up a cross,
and walking up the mountain,
whatever it is,
that's not necessarily how it was.
He carried a beam,
and he was put on a tree.
So he was nailed to this beam,
and while nailed to it, he was hung on that tree,
which then made that cross, you understand?
I don't know if I'm making sense.
And so because of that, God is particular.
What an amazing God.
Covering all angles, make sure the devil got nowhere to pass.
And so nothing is written against you, nothing.
Every time they put a nail here, they put a nail here, ordinances are put there.
And in the spirit as he hung there,
as he died, he dealt with death.
As he bled sins,
and says, as he hung on the tree, the curse, which is death.
And as he hung on that cross,
the ordinances are done there.
Oh my God, oh my God.
Did you imagine how powerful this is?
And so the Bible says he made a public spectacle of them,
prevailing over them.
If Jesus had been hung on a tree,
but not nailed,
the curse of the law, sin, would have been dealt with,
but you'd still have ordinances against you.
Praise the living God.
When you're quiet, I wonder, I wonder.
Okay, let me rush through it.
And so then this very same Jesus.
You see, people think that when Jesus came,
he came to take us back to the way Adam was.
That is a lie from the pit of hell.
The reason is because if he took us back to the way Adam was,
that Adam, eight, would have sinned again.
Eight of the three of Knowledge of Good and Bad.
This last Adam is the tree of life that was in that garden.
The one that he was supposed to Adam,
that Adam was supposed to partake of.
That's why the Bible says in Hebrews 6.4,
it says, you partake of the heavenly gift.
It's referring to him like almost like a fruit.
Okay?
For it is impossible for those who are once enlightened,
who have tasted of the heavenly gift, that is Jesus.
He's edible.
He was the tree of life.
They partook of him.
We were not being taken back to the day of Adam.
You're in a better realm than Adam,
because Adam did not have the God life inside of him.
All right?
We have eaten of the tree of life.
We are going beyond Adam.
And let me tell you this.
We're not even going back to the Garden of Eden.
Because the Garden of Eden has no throne.
The scripture says you are seated in heavenly places.
You understand?
It is not a throne.
There are higher places, child of God.
Now, why am I telling you all this?
Because I need you to meditate on this.
When you go back to understand what has been dealt with,
and why no demon, and nothing that death has,
the tentacles of death, have no power over anything in your life.
I want you to go back, be conscious of that.
Because it's the first realm of ascension.
It's the first realm to access the things of the spirit.
That's why the Bible then says,
it says if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus,
you don't confess sin.
You confess with your mouth.
The Lord Jesus.
Then it says,
and believe in your heart,
that God raised him from the dead.
Then shall you be saved.
Now, listen to me children of God.
The death of Jesus dealt with sin and death.
But if Jesus had just died, we would be lost.
The key was to resurrect.
The key was to what?
Notice he's not focusing on that he died.
Now, can I tell you something?
We remember the death.
We preach the resurrection.
We don't remember the resurrection.
Remember when I showed you,
in 1 Corinthians chapter 11, 24,
he says, take this, this is my body.
Do this in remembrance of me.
All that was about his death.
You don't remember resurrection.
You preach it.
Okay.
Now, it's a reason why,
it's the reason why,
I look at a man.
There are many Christians, many,
who have stopped at the place of substitution.
Jesus died for me.
I'm going to heaven.
There are many Christians.
And if I don't, if I look at you,
and I don't see the next stages,
I cannot preach resurrected life to you.
If inside you're not resurrected.
Let me tell you the truth.
Now, I'll show you,
that we preach resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15, verse 12.
Now, if Christ be preached,
that he rose from the dead,
you preach that he rose from.
You don't preach that he died.
You remember that he died.
I want to show you where the focus is.
The same power that conquered the grave,
lives in me.
The life came from the resurrection,
not from the death.
Death was dealt with when he died,
but life came from the resurrection.
Now, I told you, first stage is substitution.
Next one is identification.
After you've understood that you've been replaced.
That there is therefore now no condemnation.
For those who are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not according to the flesh,
but according to the spirit.
Do you know what that means?
It means that a man can be born again,
walk according to the flesh,
and condemnation finds him.
Not your portion.
He says, walk not according to the flesh,
but walk according to the spirit.
A man walking according to the spirit,
there is therefore no condemnation.
Now, you say constantly,
you have done this.
What if the Lord is, what is it?
The ordinances were nailed.
Nailed.
Praise the Lord.
So you move to identification.
Galatians chapter 2 verse 20.
He says, I am crucified with Christ.
What that means is that not only did he die,
you got onto the cross with him.
You stood up, you got, and you're on there.
And until you see that, until you realize,
transformation is impossible without identification.
It's impossible.
The other one deals with sin and death.
When you identify, you look at that cross,
you see yourself there.
Second Timothy 2.11.
But Christ lived within me.
That's what he says.
The life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God.
It's a faithful saying.
For if we be dead with him,
we shall also live with him.
He did not die alone or...
Now remember that when your disease is shouting,
but Christ died for us.
So did you!
You died, you identify with it,
and that's where we get scripture.
He says, as he is.
So am I.
My God!
You can't just stop at being substituted.
See yourself also on that cross.
Colossians 33.
I have to use scripture.
For you are dead.
Your life is hid with Christ in God.
You're what?
This identification is where we get the statement.
The old has gone.
The new has come.
You are a new creation.
New.
When you identify with it,
that's where it begins.
If you don't see yourself on that cross,
you haven't yet got here.
You haven't got here.
And you haven't got to the place now
where power works through you.
You haven't got there.
Praise the Lord.
So I've told you about substitution.
I've told you about identification.
Then there's resurrection.
Oh.
Do you know?
Acts chapter 1 verse 9,
actually let's read it,
Acts 1 verse 9 to 11.
And when he had spoken these things,
while they beheld,
he was taken up
and a cloud received him
out of their sight.
Leave it there.
So a cloud receives him
and an angel says,
just as you've seen him go,
he shall return.
Okay?
So I want you to imagine now,
he's going.
The disciples that are now going to be apostles
are looking and seeing him
go in the cloud.
Daniel 7.13,
I want to show you what Daniel saw.
I saw in the night visions,
and behold,
one like a son of man
came with the clouds of heaven.
So Daniel now is in the spirit
and he's seeing what happens
when Christ reaches.
And came to the asian of days
and they brought him near before him.
Verse 14.
And there was given him
dominion and glory
and a kingdom
that all people, nations and languages
should serve him.
His dominion is the everlasting dominion.
Daniel is seeing this.
The apostles have seen him go.
Daniel is taken to a place
where he's seeing him come.
Ah, praise the Lord.
And he resurrected.
He resurrected
and then ascended.
It's from there then,
Jesus said,
I am the resurrection
and the life.
He didn't say I am the death resurrection.
And he said,
I am the resurrection
and the life.
Death to a dead gone.
I am the resurrection.
John chapter 11 verse 25.
I am the resurrection and the life.
He that believeth in me,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live.
Now this is so important.
This is so, so important.
That until you see,
until your mind is at the place
that Christ has resurrected
and not only has he resurrected,
you resurrected with him.
So have your finances.
So has your marriage.
Now you just,
don't just say amen,
go back, sit in a chair,
see it.
When you see him come out,
see attached.
Your husband,
your sick mother,
they are resurrecting.
Now this is the first stage
of actually capturing things
of the spirit.
Because if you focus on your issue
and you try to focus on deep things,
everything about the gospel
starts from what I've just thought today.
Everything about it.
In fact, if someone just focused on this,
the chances of them walking
into translation is higher
than someone spending hours
trying to learn how
to interpret tongues.
It has its advantage,
but a man who is hidden in Christ,
who sees him as he came,
he died.
You see him on the cross.
You see him resurrected.
You see him ascend.
And it's from there that it says,
you are seated in heavenly places.
This is where it comes from,
the Ascension.
Because had he resurrected,
we would just give glory to God.
But the Ascension gives us access to life.
That means just as he is,
I am.
There are things up there
that I can impart,
I can receive as impartation in my life.
As he is,
so are you in this world.
He says,
if a grain of wheat
does not die,
it abides alone.
But if it dies,
now I need you to understand,
just John 12,
I need you to understand
that what I've just told you today
in its simplicity,
things that most likely you would have known
but you need reminder.
That if you just walk,
listen,
your call to be a business person,
but your call is not separate from being conformed
to the image and likeness of Christ Jesus.
It's not.
Actually,
your call might be doctor.
If it's doctor alone,
you have missed it.
Because the end of every call
is to be conformed to the image.
So a doctor,
if Jesus was a doctor,
this is how we would look.
If Jesus was a rapper,
this is how he would rap.
If Jesus was a fashion person,
this is how he would be fashion.
To be conformed to the image
and likeness of him.
Hey,
that is the end of the thing.
Now you tell me,
I watch,
you know,
I will teach another time
on the other gate.
The other gates
is a gate of dreams.
Another way to ascend,
to access.
And not the way most of you think.
Huh?
But you see,
you're going to, let me tell you,
in this room,
there are people
who this has just been a normal fellowship.
They're just going to go home
and continue
satarist paribas.
All things remain in constant.
And yet, I tell you,
I've sat down with anointings.
I'm telling you,
something as simple as this.
That let the resurrection
be alive in you.
And along with it,
it's essential.
That's where we grow life.
Preacher resurrection.
You reach somewhere
and you say,
do you know that Jesus resurrected?
It's not that he died.
He resurrected.
That's where the difference is.
And scripture says
that guys who had died,
those guys who had died,
death,
who had a throne in that generation,
had power,
not just in the realm of men,
but also in the spirit realm
upon men.
So when a man died,
even though he worked with God,
he would be a captive
in the realm called Abraham's bosom.
That's why when Jesus resurrected,
okay?
When he died,
he first descended.
And later the Bible says
he led captivity,
captive,
and gave gifts unto men.
There were people
that were captive,
even in the other realm.
And he let them,
and he gave gifts unto men.
That's why when he has resurrected now,
someone tries to touch him
and says,
do not touch me,
for I'm yet to ascend
to the Father.
I'm yet to ascend to the Father.
That means for the Christian,
the life,
the full life of salvation
does not end at Jesus resurrected.
It ends at ascension,
at ascension,
where you live every day,
you live an ascended life,
you focus on the things above.
And it has stages
which I don't want to focus on today.
But the lowest of which
is consciousness,
that my mind
will be where you are.
I haven't been promoted.
Come up here.
Praise the Lord.
Praise the living God.
Do you know that
money is so powerful
that everything around him
is connected to him?
And because it's connected to him,
if the finances are dying,
there's something inside of you
that is not giving it life.
It's amazing.
It's a miracle.
Because you sing the same power.
That conquered the will.
He is in me.
You guys.
And that's,
you know,
you cannot move from glory to glory
unless you've ascended.
You can't.
Resurrection says now
everything that is dead has life.
But to move progressively,
you must ascend.
You must ascend.
You mind,
your spirit,
your body
must go up.
And focus on things above.
Hey.
Praise the Lord.
And the enemy.
You know,
I worry
when I see
the things that make me tear.
There's a lady
a few weeks ago
sent me a message.
Her brother
had cancer.
Actually,
it was a month ago.
Her brother had cancer.
So I began to pray.
And as I began to pray,
I saw something.
And I saw
that it was his time to go.
And for me,
you see,
there's some people who see that
and then they'll say,
hey,
the Lord has what?
The Lord has decided
it's time to go.
And some things are in stone in the spirit.
When you've grown,
you know,
things you cannot change.
There are things
when your eyes are opened
and all of us are eyes
are supposed to be open.
All of us here,
you can't limit it
to seeing the guy who's fake.
You can't limit.
I'm very spiritual.
I've seen the guy.
Oh,
I'm going to see
what rubber is going to wear.
These are just clothes.
We shall leave them here.
Huh?
You can't even recover.
No.
So you say,
what?
I saw his shoes.
I saw him.
Come up here.
Start seeing things.
Anyway,
so I saw this thing
and I began to pray.
And I saw her.
The time of this person
has come to an end.
And so,
the Lord told me pray.
And so I took time.
You know,
there's a way I pray.
I was sharing with some guys yesterday.
And now I respect
how different people pray.
It works for them.
For me,
I like quiet prayer.
You rarely find me.
Like,
now,
it's okay.
Huh?
But like sweat,
like,
huh?
You might even think
I was praying.
I'm just there.
I have my thing.
I'm a meditative prayer person.
That's how I pray.
Some people,
they need energy.
I respect that.
Everyone has their thing.
But,
I will tell you that,
from what I've noticed
from men who have risen
in things of the spirit,
they learn to talk less.
Doesn't mean you go and start forcing it.
I said,
they told me to talk less.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am.
That's not what I'm saying.
When I'm saying as you progress,
you realize that there's more power
in one word than in many.
That's why one time I told you,
the private prayer
shows the potency and the length
of the public prayer.
When someone is sick and you're,
in the name of Jesus,
in the name of one hour,
in the name of Jesus,
the private prayer.
There has been an issue with the private prayer.
But when the private prayer
is potent,
in public,
that's why that secret place
is so potent.
It's where you gain power.
And I'm telling you,
at levels of
increase and access in the spirit,
you will find very quickly
that there are angels
that differ at every level.
at every level. And a man can describe for you a being and you know how far he has been
transferred in the spirit. Isaiah 29 verse 9. Stay yourselves and wonder. Cry out and cry.
They are drunken but not with wine. They stagger but not with strong drink. Verse 10.
For the Lord has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep. Has closed your eyes. The prophets
and your rulers. The seers have he covered. Now what this scripture is saying is that there was a
group of people. Okay, let me touch briefly the gate of dreaming, briefly. Psalms 127 verse 2,
Psalms 127 verse 2. It is vain for you to rise up early. Someone is saying, now that's the
scripture I've been looking for. That's not what I'm talking about. This is to sit up late,
to eat the bread of sorrows. For so he giveth his beloved sleep. Now what this scripture means
is that there is a sleep that God gives. Now
the Bible says of Adam that God put him into a deep sleep. Adam did not have to sleep
out of fatigue. Sleep had to be caused because this was a man who had energy and life in him,
although not yet the life of the trio of life. But he had energy and life in him. Fatigue was
a no-go area. So God had to cause him to sleep. He causes him to sleep. And Adam, the Bible says,
give me Genesis 3. Give me that scripture and it says, and Adam woke up
and scripture says, he said, woman, woman, born of my own. Adam said, actually start from 22.
And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man made he a woman and brought her into the man.
23. And Adam said, this is now born of my bones, flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman.
And I've taught this before that if Adam was asleep, the only way he could have known she
came from him is if he was awake while asleep, which was a function a man before the fall had.
And it's a function men have now. That when you sleep, you actually do not, there's no such thing.
Let me tell you, spirits don't, they need a sleep no slumber. God never sleeps no slumber. You don't
find an angel saying, let me first take a break. The Bible says of demons that they roam the wilderness
looking for somewhere to rest and that rest is not sleeping. The rest is different from a spiritual
perspective. The rest there is a cease from work. Now Adam was awake, song of songs five, two,
I sleep, but my heart awake. So the idea is that as you sleep, you go to awake, which Adam did.
He saw it. Then comes up and says, born of my bone, flesh of my flesh. Now, what's my point?
There is a sleep that God gives.
Okay. Where scripture says he gives his beloved sleep. To every man is an appointed time of sleep
every day that God gives every man, every man. And the apportioned time has a point during that night
when you wake up.
That period had been apportioned and usually right after it is an encounter. You just need
to see it. It's like how Adam woke up and sees woman. Okay. It's how Jacob wakes up.
And he said, God was here and I did not know it. The apportioned time where person wakes up.
I said to you that you wake up in the middle of the night. Okay. Around there is something
you're supposed to receive. It doesn't mean you have to continue staying awake the rest of the night.
What it means is that at that point of time, be spiritual and not gay.
Ah, now let me leave this. Let me ask you again. You don't then you say, oh, I think you are a child.
Let me tell you, I will, I will, this, this, you know, I, I, I hesitated to share some things.
There is, there's a power in your eyelids.
I would have quoted the scripture, but let's not leave it there.
Okay. When you wake up and you've forgotten a dream, you will learn it over time. It's a difficult
thing, but you will learn it. Do you know that you first awake before you open your eyes?
You know that? And as long as your eyes are closed, that image can't go.
Now, and when you open, I know what I'm talking about. I'm giving you spiritual hacks,
but when people can just,
you see, you've forgotten something. I encourage you. Your eyes are like a camera, a shutter.
Okay. Pick the image, the last image you remember. Close your eyes like shutters do,
like a camera shutter. Then go back and think the image, see it with your mind
and go back in the dream, especially if something that is bad, something that's bad,
and erase it in your mind, erase it, erase the segment. I'm struggling to explain
there's a scripture. Let me give you a scripture quickly as I close it.
Proverbs 117, I think. Surely in vain, the net is spread in the sight of any bad.
This is powerful. What it's saying is that when you see something,
he who has said the net has set it in vain. So when something comes in a dream and it's demonic,
hmm? The person who has set the net in the sight of the bad has set it in vain.
Hey, some other thing is coming for me. It's coming for me. And you see in the spirit,
all that demon needs is for you to say this thing is coming. Consent is so powerful.
But you stand and say, I have seen you. Oh, go back. I delete it. It is done. You are a resurrected
being. Praise the living God. Well, we'll teach you on the stage now where you can be awake in the
dream. I will teach you on it. You take control of certain things. You can make a bold person have
hair. No, I'm not talking about anyone here. Praise the living God. I have to end here.
Hey, you are a resurrected being. So I've touched briefly that this once you understand the realm
of dreams and that it's a gate to connect, you don't go to sleep to rest. You're a spirit being,
even when you're sleeping, you're awake. And it has its advantages. The weakest time any human being
is on this earth is when they are asleep, both in the natural and the spiritual.
And if you don't know what you do, some of the things just come your way.
You don't know how many times you are by the masses of God. You're first asleep and some people
sleep. You see how dangerous sleep is? The Bible says of the two women that came before Solomon,
that one of them, the baby died because she slept on the baby. Now, what kind of sleep is that?
Where your baby, baby is usually, you know, your baby is sleeping or crying. You're first asleep
and you're so asleep that you kill your own baby. Now, that's symbolic for many people where it's
what I read in Isaiah 29 verse 9. Take me there, that there are people who, when they go to sleep,
their eyes are sealed. They remember nothing, nothing. They go to sleep and it is silence,
darkness. Give me verse 10. For the Lord has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep
and has closed your eyes, the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered. 11. And the
vision of all this is becoming to you as the words of a book that is sealed. There are people who
they can't see. They go to sleep and it's just total darkness. And it's even worse when they go one
year, two years. While you, you're sleeping and you're awake, even they're just like they are in the
daytime. Because in the daytime, you're awake, but you're not really seeing, are you? Because the
true sight is to see both the natural and the spiritual. That's why the Bible says of Elijah,
that he said, Lord, open the eyes of this guy. It's another way in which the man accessed in the
spirit. He had the power to be in the natural and look in the spirit at the same time. I mean,
that's what you're supposed to be. One time I was driving with my wife and my chairperson who's not
here now. And we're just in the dark. It was around 10 p.m. and we're driving heading to my house.
And I was sitting in the front seat and I saw a wolf. And someone said, in Uganda,
I saw a wolf, but a shadow wolf with red eyes, cross and stop, turn and growl. Now I shouted,
stop, can't you see that? Where? Where? The driver, when you're driving with people whose eyes are not
open, it's also very interesting. Just drama. I said, a wolf, where? Where? And the thing jumped
into a neighbor's house. This was at night. And at that point, that night, these guys were robbed.
Now, when someone has seen that in the spirit, the next time I see that wolf, I know what it represents.
Are you with me? You learn. This is why it's important for your eyes to open. You can
know when a spirit of death is upon someone. It is felt. It has an aura. And you remove it before
time. And God can respect the people who are living extended lives because someone knew exactly the
Cairo season to speak. And the good thing is following someone. You can walk down the Kampala
Road. Okay, let's leave. And you look and not everyone is walking with angels. Some people,
their auras are so dark, you wonder, where did this person get this thing from? Yatidjawa.
I said, man of God, we're broke. We're what? We're what? And something has claimed. I'll never
forget the day I saw a man enter a fellowship with snakes tied around his feet, two green snakes.
And that day I jumped. I told a few people, were they are worshiping? I said,
yeah.
And if you knew the person, you'd be shocked because in the natural, the person looks, everything is
fine. And I was sitting next to a prophet that day. He said, I turned. I said, yeah, you've seen
it also. I said, welcome to our world. You guys, I need to finish. I need to be welcome to our world.
There was a Friday fellowship, 2018. I was ministering and I saw a monkey enter the fellowship,
a monkey. Now you wonder, some of you would be here saying, monkey, not a baboon, a monkey.
It entered, started jumping on people when the upper room started jumping on people. It went
landed on someone's head and camped there. Now I want you to imagine, I'm preaching.
And I'm thinking to myself, is everyone seeing this? And you know, there's always that problem
where you're like, maybe, is this spiritual? And when you look around and you just see, homeboy here is
just, but a monkey has just passed him. As you know, this thing is spiritual. And it jumped on
someone's head and they got up to go to the bathroom. They were having a headache. They poured
water, poured water. I was like, I have seen you. Another day there was a turtle, but that's for
another day. So you realize, it's just that if I mentioned here every day, some of you would never
come back. And it's not that all the time I see, that's why sometimes I, prophets have kind of that
grace. And for me, the times I don't want, I want to see a person. I want you to see, I want to see
the human beings. Now you will hear them. He said, let's close fellowship. And you think I'm closing
because time is up. I have just said, no. So please join us in our world, ascend,
so that we can all turn together and say, I have seen it. But we're just alone. This is your life,
praise the Lord. It is your life in the name of Jesus.
One day a mad man, I don't know, I just feel like I need to give this. I was with a man of God
called Prophet Anist, who was somewhere there in Chitintali, and we're just, we're talking deep
things. So a mad man comes, everyone knew he was a mad guy. I'd seen him around. So he,
he quit all of us. And Prophet Anist being a prophet. Me, I hadn't yet seen. I was just like,
yeah, and you know. Then he turns and says, man of God, let's first enter the car. I was like,
oh, I have enjoyed the poster. There were places where I had to cut a word. And he's a man of few
words. So let's enter the car. So he entered the car. The moment he had entered the car, he looked,
he's got, this, this guy came to the window.
What's going here? And he said, I remember that day, he said, this guy has seen something in us.
Of course I started.
I have seen something in us, y'all.
Anyway, so quickly, quickly I have to close. So this guy started banging and asking for money.
Actually, I missed something. I missed something. Before we entered the car, I was still delaying.
The guy came and nailed down and did this.
Now, for me, I thought maybe Anis knew him from somewhere. I had to get caught. I caught on,
man. Those days are slow. So he says, let's enter the car. We enter the car. The guy keeps on banging.
He says, you have the money. Please give me what you have. I'll never forget that day.
Never forget that day. Man stayed there. We continued discussing. He stayed there quite
a lot, the car quite a lot, until finally he left. And the man who told me he was possessed.
But he saw something.
Now for you, they just chase you. Not your portion. Chicken, chicken is chasing you.
Chicken, possessed chicken.
