ver six the first sign that your prayer has been answered because you see this is this is these are the Dynamics of faith when you come before God and you are still ascending the aircraft is still ascending don't go and start cruising you are still on ascending keep praying keep praying till you hit that cruising Zone there are signals you get you know you have reached there last time I was asking when husband and wife men and women are having sex do they know when they reach their PL you they do when you are hungry
does your body tell you when you are hungry they do these are all sign language but they all mean something when you are testy the sign is different from when you are hungry does your body tell you yes and you able to know what it means you go and look for water when you are tired this time it's not water you need to go and rest or sleep your body gives you that signal it's different from the Hunger pan when you are sick can you tell the difference between when you are thirsty and when you
are hungry and when you are tired and when you are sick there are signals your body tells gives you even women when their period is coming or when the ovulation is coming they are signals she gives you is little kids young girls that are just beginning their puberty they don't know which is with they get pregnant any if they go and misbehave after you have grown into Womanhood for years you've had a child had age and you still can't tell the signs in your body they need to send you to school just like you have
those signs in your body that's how you have them in your spirit if your spirit is sick there are signs he gives you usually sin that has touched it just like when a disease touches your body when God is angry with you there are signals he gives you your spirit become very sad you can be laughing physically with people everybody can be your spirit the peace of God leaves you there is uh there are signals about three or four of them whenever your spirit picks up a form of sadness if a spirit of mourning is
on your spirit even though there is laughter outside go back to your secret place and go and sometimes it might not be that you are doing something wrong it might be that something is about to go wrong it's a call for prayer and intercession when danger is coming and you're about to get into danger there are signals your spirit gives you warning signals let's talk about this prayer signals be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made known to God I just added that word with Thanksgiving
we saw the other place with worship the incense with the prayers of the Saints don't just come with request mix it with gratitude mix it with praise mix it with worship that's what causes it to fly prayer supplication mix it with Thanksgiving let your request be made known to God God and when God has answered there is something he does to let you know watch it in the next verse the peace of God that pass all understanding shall keep your heart and mind through Jesus Christ so you see now how Faith Works Fai we walk
not by sight but by faith nothing has changed though I've not seen the result but inside me I have this peace I have this assurance I have this knowing if I've not reached that point I have to keep praying I don't care if the prayer has lasted for days keep praying there's a point you reach in prayer that burden is rolled away that anxiety is rolled away and is replaced with an inner Assurance an inner peace it is this point that we get on from prayer and we start speaking with boldness and that thing will
come to pass when when we go out and start speaking before we have reached that place you speaking out of presumption not Faith because you don't have the substance you don't have the Assurance but you are speaking sometimes it's actually boasting nothing will happen I mean no no no you can be studying the word meditating on the word and the word infuses that Assurance in you when you speak it will come to pass there is a peace that comes from staying in the presence of God the ease and assurance that comes from spending time with
God In Prayer or In Worship this is how men of Faith work and there are bords prayer points that you just pray woo it goes through this there are other prayer points that you will spend some days before you reach them that's why there is prayer there is supplication and there's intercession solving National problems many a time you don't just achieve it you know in in racing they are 100 met Dash they are 200 M but then there are long race there are even some that when you get to a point you hand over to
somebody else and there are prayer points like like that when you get your point hand over it's chain prayer till we hit the final Point praying for Revival is not a one time heat it's not 100 me Dash if you want to pray till every member of your family is born again it's only one One Time Hit but as you keep praying you might get to after some time after some time it might be some hours it might be some days when you hit that place of Victory let me tell you go write the names
of all the people you've had on the altar watch them you will see them coming to Christ one after the other you will see them coming to Christ now I'm giving you an instruction make a list of 12 to 36 people you want to see come to Christ in 2024 this January make the list even as I'm talking some of them might be in your office some of them might be in your family some of them might be in your school make a list of them and every time you go before God bring them incubate
them incubate them there are some that will take you weeks but finally you get to that point that thing is lifted is the same thing I've been talking about signs does a pregnant woman who is in labor know when the baby is out yes the same way an intercessor who is in labor knows when that bden is discharged when that baby is out there's another sign God gives you know he has answered you read it is lightning do you know what that in is the fire of God that's what he does in the Old Testament
if if if is if it is a sacrifice that offered and God has accepted it he just strikes the altar with lightning the place says catches fire they call it the fire of God fell from heaven 2 Chronicles 7 when Solomon has made the end of praying what happened fire came down from heaven and resume the burnt offering and the sacrifice and the glory of the Lord fills the house I want to watch this when Elijah pray that day at myc hear me oh God hear me that this people will know that you have turned
their heart back to you hear me let them know that I have done all this according to your word that is not just me trying to the Bible and fire came down from heaven and consumed it you will see so many places when David made his own offering fire came down and consumed it sans's parents made an offering to God an angel brought them a message about the birth of the child and they decided to offer something to God they offered fire gled on the Altar and the smoke was Rising the angel I gave message
enter the smoke and ascended with it this thing is what God does to let his people know that he has answered and so at that moment the people that are praying can get up and go in faith and speak and be speak with Assurance so you see we who operate in faith are not operating by assumption there are signals but they are not physical things you see nothing has changed physically but there are signals your spirit picks up when your spirit picks it up you know God has answered and then you get up and go
and take bold step and the result shows in the New Testament this thing that he showed you is what is called the outpouring of the Holy Spirit you see the fire of God and the glory of God fill the house of is the holy spirit presence so God's spirit is God's answer everyone said that the first one I showed you is God's Assurance inner Assurance of peace is God's answer say that and I need to read one at least one verse for you on that Assurance Isaiah 26:3 put it up let them see this is
on peace thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee because he do trust on the when we exercise faith in God there's something he does to let us know we have made connection it floods your heart with perfect peace actually Philippians said Peace that pass all understanding you know why because it doesn't make sense in the physical nothing has changed though but in the spiritual there is this sense of joy sense of assurance sense of Serenity and peace you know Pastor Shalom had challenges with having a baby and she will
go pray about it she said she never worried why everybody was trouble worried for her in her family her husband she was wor he said because every time she goes to pray God flows her spirit with this peace this assurance that bankman manager himself have told you the money is going to come the MD of the bank has shed you then you come out and some guy on the counter is making noise you can't get it get out of here uh you don't have enough whatever to get this loan or get whatever you've talked to
the boss I like to deal with the people who have the authority to make things happen I don't like to deal with small small because a lot of you know lot of nonsense happened there I like to can I talk to the manager teronomy said I've given you the Kings their people and their land three things you know what we do we go and reach the people ignore the authorities and they ignore the land yeah the Lord said to me fear Him not I will deliver him and all his people and his land into your
his King this is seon the king of the ammonite I'll give you the king all his people if you want to get all the people catch the king and then and his land so what Elijah did that day at Mount came was Ahab then Ahab summon all Israel if not you will have gone to reach Israel if you will come you might have a good Crusade though a sizable number but you still have a lot of problems you heard what I said the key to Kings give them honor he said give honor to whom honor
is do tribute to him tribute is do uh whatever to whom that is due Romans chapter 13 a lot of pastors don't know that custom to whom custom is due it's called cultural intelligence then they open the communities render to all their dues tribute to whom tribute is dued custom to whom custom is Du Fear To whom fear is dued honor to whom honor is dued honor opens the door but there are some places custom is important find ask questions this is how they do it give you two scriptures on the fear of God fire
Acts chapter 2 when they have prayed yes verse one on the when the day of Pentecost was fully come uhhuh they were with one in one place and then what happened they appeared onto them clothing tongues there there came a sound from Heaven as of A Mighty rushan Wind and he filled the house where they were this wind of God is one of the signs that heaven also sent so you might not hear that wind blowing your meeting but you should look for the other ones and they were fill uh and wind fill the house
where they were sitting them verse three and they appeared to them clothing tongues as of fire fire fire of God Is Heaven seal on your prayer or sacrifice or worship and the glory of God both of them is heaven seal when a sacrifice have been accepted that's what God gives in respon so that the person that he's dealing with can have faith and confidence and know God has answered and then after you watch events on fold you will see results later it is when you pray that you believe not after you must pray till you
gain Assurance when you gain it you have gained Victory you know I quoted this and somebody said where is the prayer there so that I know that he here response to prayer chapter 1 verse4 verse 12 maybe will help chapter 1 vers2 they return unto Jerusalem from the Mount of olive which is from Jerusalem Sabbath day Journey a Day's Journey verse 13 and when they were coming they went to the upper room where all the people are verse 14 and they continued with one Accord in prayer and supplication with the women and Mary the mother
of Jesus and with is Breen now you see this word continued this prayer lasted for 10 days on the 10 day fire dropped what happened it's time to close the prayer meeting they came down from the upper room and went to pray any what are you still staying that doing they've given you an alert signal the money has been transferred that's why look at look at sign languages your phone I transfer money you just see that aler and you just believe it next thing you go home you're not there dragging give me my money no
you have not seen money what you saw is alive that's the same way Faith work there are signals that once you know you can live with assurance and you know you can go and start pricing something you want to buy with the money and next when they fin they say pay if it's a check you write check if it's cash you make withdrawal for something you have not seen that's how spiritual transaction is spiritual currency is Faith but it's in form of Aer what if they got up on the eth day and left actually the
bble proves that Jesus gave this instruction to 500 men 500 by the time the Holy Spirit came they were 120 what happened to 380 they left before the evidence before the Assurance before theer arrive so there will be some things you are praying for that will take 10 days some things will take a couple of weeks doesn't matter aircraft doesn't take off and start cruising he reaches a particular height then he will enter cruising State at that moment the sound of the engine changes in prayer you change from supplication intercession pleading with God to gratitude
showing Thanksgiving and worship okay let me show you a good example of that okay um one of the signs of answered prayer is voices voices should I stop with this one now the one of the things that prayer is meant to precipitate is revelation which is why people who lead prayer people who pray and people who conduct prayer must understand the ordinances of Heaven you have to be careful of noise you have to be careful of that's distracting noise if somebody's playing the drums for example like I saw what you were doing when we were
uh playing beautiful classic because we just read it the other place there were symbols there were all kinds of instrument of music but the Bible say they were as one but if there is a prayer meeting or a worship meeting and you start making noise that drowns da that I'm going to stop you completely because what you are doing you are destroying what we are doing you don't understand the technology it must blend the drum must not drown human voice it must not drown the other it must blend with it the reason is that one
of the things everybody should be looking out for whenever you are praying is for Revelation The Voice of God for guidance for the wisdom of God I read it for you Revelation two times there were voices there were thundering there were lightning and there were earthquakes earthquakes should be the last one earthquake means there is now a divine intervention something happened a move of God is triggered yeah God intervenes you saw it when Paul and Silas were praying in the prison the some praises what Happ an earthquake act 16 shook the whole prison nobody needs
to tell you that God has answered when an earthquake happened he does something that people can feel physically he does something such type of answer prayer is clear to people but there are many others that are signals you would know except you are listening in your spirit voices one of the ways God answers prayer is that he speaks prayer is a communication it's a communication so you send a message to him he sends a message back many time it will come in form of your spirit picking certain Clarity certain knowledge that you don't know how
you get but you just know it inside you other times your spirit will be ignited with an utterance some of those things you are saying you start getting understanding of it in other cases a prophetic utterance is given if you're praying in tongues and then some information start coming and he gets everywhere he hangs you want the completing to come switch back in Tong so First Corinthians 14 said I pray in tongues I pray in my understanding I pray in tongues I pray in my understanding as you do that more of that thing comes in
your understanding comes in normal world as you pray back in Tong you switch back to more of it come after a while if it's a music you have a complete relics but the same way you download music that's how you download prophecy that's how you download wisdom that's how you download Divine Direction oh oh okay okay because you see everyway cannot solve all problem that one is demonstration of power the power of God start flowing you know things are happening sometimes you see all the people falling and all that's there are some problems like sickness
like Dem demonic problems like all that you see earthquakes you see demonic manifestation people are falling everywhere that's earthquake oh as a move of power but when I I I'm praying I need direction for my business I need to know who to marry three people are asking for my hand in my after moving and falling how does falling make me has not solved my problem the answer is divine wisdom Divine intelligence I need to know whether I'm traveling or not am I going moving abroad or should I stay back in Nigeria there are different things
people are asking God for First Kings chapter 19 from verse 9 let let me show you something this is Elijah you know he had earthquake and fire on Mount camel when he prayed fire fell and there was such a move of God in that country but then then Jezebel said I'm going to kill you and so he started running and he fasted for 40 he was running away it wasn't like he declared a fast he just took 40 days to get to Mount Horeb and when he came to the cave to the mountain he lodged
there and behold the word of the Lord came to him and said to him what do I what are you doing here oh God you mean I've been talking to you crying you you fell at man SI Holy Spirit F and you don't know this woman threatened me you mean you don't know God does not ask you questions because he doesn't know you need to express what it is that you want Jesus will see a blind man said what do you want me to do to you meanwhile he can see the eyes so Elijah now
explained yes verse 10 I have been zerious for the Lord God of hosts the children of Israel have forsaken your Covenant thrown down your altars and kill the prophets with the sword I am the only one left and they seek my life to take take it away Jezebel said by this time tomorrow you will be dead anyway so he's asking God for help verse 11 and the Lord said go stand upon the mount before the Lord and behold watch now everybody watch the Lord passed by the first sign that of the presence of God was
a great wind it is God moving oh take note this is the one he sent on the of Pentecost is usually a wi Wing well let's not go into it today it's a secular wing and you know the great wind passed by rent the mountains break in pieces the Rocks before the Lord this God moving but the Lord was in not in the wind but you told me and the Lord passed by you say God is the one passing moving yeah the Lord was not in the wind what he say that is not what Elijah
needs now he just came from all those shakings man he doesn't need another man coming what man needs is Direction you can finish a miracle service where there was a lot of airquake and light and you need some direction everything is not about power there's a place for the wisdom of God there's a place for the power of God that's why you have to be careful about noise now come was very noisy but now he goes to my horb quiet place watch then the Lord was not in the wind so after the wind an earthquake
you saw it in the Book of Revelation and the Lord was not in the earthquake then after the earthquake a fire this lightning these things proceed from the presence of God and this fire is one of the things he manifested on Mount Si when the glory of God appeared to Moses and the children of Israel but after the fire I want you to watch now it was a small Ste voice because the voice of God comes with this Clarity and that's why we need quietness we need we need these flowing streams not noise worship with
prayer and our that's why sometimes we call it contemplative prayer man is praying but he's listening there's even a a phase you get to in contemplative prayer it will look like more of meditation you are talking to the Lord but you have reduced the voice you are now tuned in it was after the fire now a small still Voice verse 13 when Elijah heard it he wrapped his face with his mtle and went out stood in the entrance of the cave and behold there came a voice to him and said what doest thou here Elijah
Elijah and then he repeated himself they've killed your servants yes verse 14 they've thrown down your altars and now they try to take my life verse 15 look at the wisdom of God watch and the Lord said go return your way to the Wilderness of Damascus when you come anoint HRA to be king what is the direction here you have been doing one man show go and Empower other people with the anointing that anointing I give you go and use it and Empower empower HRA over Syria Empower jeu over Israel yes the next verse and
then Empower Elijah as a prophet in your your Mentor that will take over from you then the Lord said whosoever escapes the sord of yes of hazra jeu will slay him and whosoever escapes the sword of jeu Elijah will slay watch it was this jeu that empowered that K Jezebel and wiped out bow worship from Israel what God gave him was strategy what God gave him was divine intelligence and this is how I know that my prayer is answered I pray and prayer he that zone Revelation starts and then there's a download of intelligence download
load of divine wisdom once it completes I get up from that place because what is left now is execution and look at Verse 18 yet I have left me 7,000 in Israel all the knees which have not bowed to Bow and every man so God corrected his myopic understanding you think you're the only one left he did not know that there were caves where prophets were hiding and there's a man that was going there giving them food twice a day he didn't know he thought he was the only one and example is the man called
Micah Micah was one of those surviving prophets an example of one of the people that was not corrupted is Elijah he just told him to go and anoint he wasn't a prophet then but he was one of those righteous men that has not bowed corrupted himself he thought he was the only one God Empower some people release them in the business World Empower some people release them in the political sector Empower some people release them in the spiritual vocation anybody that escapes the pastors the ones in government will catch anyone escape the one in government
the ones in the marketplace will catch hasra represent Marketplace forces jeu represent political forces Elisha represent spiritual and the church that wants strong defense you have to release leaders in these three areas don't think that it's only those who preach that are anointed there's anointing for business for World creation money is a weapon there's anointing for governance there is anointing for Ministry money is is a defense political power is also a defense and spiritual power is strategy so verse 19 watch you don't sit praying anymore after you have been given wisdom and given Direction prayer
has been answered get up and go and execute so he departed you see not another 40 Days and found Elijah the son of shaer who was play with the 12 yog O before him and he passed by him cast his mantle on him the guy started following him and that's how he mentored him to become a prophet later he now send Elijah go and anoint je you see God say anoint but he did not really anoint jeu by himself he used delegation and he still stood important thing is carry out the direct Direction you have
been given carry it out you've been given a vision you've been given a direction you've been given a strategy go out don't end this journey sit around and still be confused about what to do everything is not earthquake everything is not fire sometimes it's intelligence wisdom that you need 2 Chronicles chapter 20 might be a good one this is Jehoshaphat there was an Allied Army that came against them verse three verse three and Jehoshaphat feared set himself to seek the Lord and proclaim a fast throughout all Judah verse four so you see prayer started Judah
gathered theel together to ask help from God out of all the cities of Judah and to seek seek the Lord God verse 5 of course jehoshua stood in the presence of the people and prayed when do you stop praying how do you know when the prayer is answered as they were praying and they were interceding they were praying somewhere along the landine all these five elements before God God release One Voices prophetic word watch verse 14 watch verse 14 then upon hazer the son of Zachariah the son of Ben the son of J the son
of ma the levite of the sons of assab came the spirit of I told you God's spirit is God's answer the Holy Ghost fell at least God used two tools fire fell on on on this guy the Holy Spirit fell on them and what happened next verse and he said heing all Judah prophetic word is coming ye inhabitants of Jerusalem you King Jehoshaphat thou said the Lord unto you be Not Afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude for the battle is not yours but I want you to see how these men of Faith
operate they don't operate by assumption oh the people in the New Testament think they just get and start matching because they said they they were singing as they were going to the battle not not with weapons no they don't operate by assumption faith is based on revealed word there are things in prayer when you pick it you wake up shake off then you can March against the enemy and break him in pieces until then know faith is based on what God Said faith is based on a substance and Assurance there say so a type of
faith that is based on the character of God knowing who spoke knowing that he cannot fail that he is faithful that is a covenant keeper it's not assumption you go there nothing happen no you operating on an assumption you assume that just because you're a Church Girl it will work it doesn't work like that you assume that just because you sing in the choir it will work it doesn't work like that you assume that just because you're born again it will work it doesn't work like that it's a substance of things hopeful an Evidence you
have to get it in your spirit then you act you obtain it while you are studying the word and meditating on it or while you are listening like I'm teaching now you also obtain it in the place of of prayer and you hit that place you come out with a confidence that cannot be explained when you speak to that mountain move here it will obey you you take that step based on that Assurance the result will be guaranteed it's not presumption that's why where God's word does not have any provision you can't have faith oh
yes sir and where people are in prayer but they've not reached the place of assurance or peace you you can't you can't just walk out and start presuming no keep praying you have to go and do something do it but tomorrow come back to that same topic there are some topics I prayed about for weeks and then finally it clicked you know this General we in the fast now I've cleared got gotten clearance and Assurance for so many things but there one particular thing today even this morning I prayed about from prophetic pray nothing yet
I can't act I can't act if if you want to know why we don't have defeat this is the secret why David never had one defeat because he will first a choire of the Lord he operat when intelligence is clear it's not when I'm in the plane that I need to start checking no I have to have the Assurance on the ground before I step on the water Jesus if you are the one tell me come if you don't say come you step on the water you are operating in Assumption you will drown but if
the Lord gives his word then you can step on that word because his word cannot fail you see how Faith operates so there are lot of nonsense people are doing thinking is Faith after they start saying God I really believed you on what basis on what evidence Peter said if you are the one tell me to come you are walking on water tell me to come with you and Jesus said come if Jesus said you D not try it Jesus was the one that told him come so he stepped out of this boat into the
water and that's what the word of God does cuz this his word that created water is his word that created if he gives you a word you can walk on air if he gives you a word you can walk on water and then you can have confidence so if you are John because you are in the same boat with Peter you don't assume let's assume John also wants to walk Lord can I also come he said no sit down there he said come there are promises that God gave to all of us there are certain
things that are ra word you have to get it for yourself you have to get a revelation before you act on [Music] it h verse 14 verse 14 that 2 Chronicles I think I'm through actually so he spoke to them and um H uh go to verse 20 they rose up early in the morning you see that's when to stop praying they rose up early in the morning and went out in the wilderness of tea as they went for Joshua stood up and said hear me oh Judah ye inhabit of Jerusalem believe in the Lord
your God so you shall be established believe in his Prophet all this bold speaking on faith is because they have gained that Assurance that's when you start talking like this that's when Moses said to the children of Israel move forward because he was praying and crying to the Lord Egyptians were coming and the Lord said why are you crying to me tell the children of Israel to move forward while you stretch your hand and divide the sea if God says that you know he's going to confirm it when you stretch your hand if he didn't
you go carry Rod go to barage and be doing like this that's presumption that's presumption I want you to understand how what Biblical fate looks like that makes things happen you I told them believe in the Lord your God you will prosper Believe In His prophets believe in the Lord you will be established Believe In His prophets you will prosper watch what they did in verse 21 action now when he has consulted with the people that appointed singers that should praise the beauty you are going to war and you are putting music ministers in the
front it's because of what Assurance God gave that you will not fight in this battle that this battle is the Lord that's what God told him if he was the one he told them to fight they will have organized an army like Jos Yeshua this one he said H so watch what happened so they organized worshippers to praise the beauty of his Holiness and they went out before the Army and praised the Lord for his Mercy they still kept the Army behind to worshipers so yeah verse 22 when they began to sing and praise the
Lord the Lord set ambushment against the children of Ammon these are angels now and Moab and Mia which were come against Judah and they were smitten look at verse 23 for the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Si the the two group teamed up and destroyed one they allies oh all of them came to fight Judah now there is division two groups got up together and destroyed the from Mount Si and to slay and to destroy them and when they have made the end of the inhabitants of sea everyone helped
to destroy each other what happen is that some angels were sent to cause confusion these two said you people are our problem they finished them then they say you two you are our problem and they started fighting and finish each other then they help to destroy everyone one another the next verse and when Judah came to towards the Watchtower in the wilderness they looked into the multitude behold there were dead bodies falling to the head and none escaped but the prophecy said March go there why did they now come first of all to see what
God has done number two you will see the reason to take the spoil watch it all the morning they have been believing God watch it verse 25 and when Jehoshaphat and his people came they came to take the SPO of them they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies precious jewels which they have stripped up for themselves more than they could carry away and they were three days in gathering of the spoil because it was so much this year you are going to carry so much spoil I say you're going to
carry so much Financial spoil so much SPO so much spoils properties contracts millions and for some of you billions some of you are going to have vehicles you did not buy give to you some of you are going to get properties you did not buy given to you some of you will get land allocations some of you are going to have experience explosion in business explosion in your career stand up on your feet lift your hands and give him praise is there a speci specific thing that you want seize it because the heavens are open
I have the authority now to declare certain things to you these things that you are praying about these things for which you are seeking God at this beginning of the year go write them down for th said the Lord you are going to see them happen with your two eyes get radio because you're going to come back with testimonies come back with Thanksgiving and for many of you your own testimony starts this January as the years Roll by like the Turning of the pages of a book that's how different layers of your breakthrough will be
unfolding different layers of what I have programmed for you will be unfolding sir [Music] lift up your hands and praise [Music] [Music] him [Music]
