I just want to thank God not for your faithfulness, but for your endurance
and it is my pleasure that he will fills you in measures beyond your
understanding. Thank you very much. Father, we thank you. We pray that
as we come once again to hear from you, you give us, all of us, the heart
to receive, the mind to contain, the spirit to pour forth for your name’s
sake. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
It is my prayer that these brethren that are here would not only understand,
but the Lord will birth in us this great work of Christ’s human redemption. I
was talking to some people about something that came to me about three or
four years ago, the fulfillment of the Christs human redemption mission. He
came to redeem man. Jesus Christ came to fulfill the prophecies and the
things in the Old Testament. He set things in motion to redeem man, but
have we reached the point of the fulfillment of that mission? And it is my
little privilege to have been asked by the Lord to bring that mission to
fulfillment. It has many ramifications. I don’t even know how far we will go,
and you might even wonder, where do you start from? But the focus of
Christ coming is man, isn’t it? It is no more, no less. What we are going to
discuss these few days is to examine the Christ human redemption mission
as it affects you and I, as individuals, as families, as nations. The important
thing is that we are spirit beings created in the image of God. What are
human beings? Spirit beings created in the image of God. The flesh is a
Powered by Notta.ai
container. For this purpose, the flesh has two meanings here. The Lord had
moulded man from the dust, which was already created by the Lord, some
time ago, the dust itself has its own virtues and powers. If you put a seed in
the soil, there are virtues within the soil itself that can create life. With
water, that seed in conjunction with the virtues within the soil itself can so
interact that a tree can come out. The scientists are still learning whether
they have been able to identify all the resources within the dust that makes it
possible for the seed to come. The seed itself has the dust within it and the
interaction between the seed, and the outward soil brings forth a tree of its
kind, and various type of trees and various type of fruits is a mystery. Within
this soil itself, there are virtues but that withstanding, God had to breathe His
own breath or spirit into that dust to make a higher seed from above into a
lower seed from below to create man. So, man is a combination of the
virtues within the earth and that which is from above and when the time of
separation does come, the dust returns to the dust. The dust mixes up with
the dust and continues to be dust and that which is from above or that which
is from God comes out of it, that separation comes. You find two things. The
flesh goes back to the flesh. From dust it came, and to dust it shall return but
the spirit being, which is the reality of man, that which is the God -incarnate,
the God within soil, is that which moves about. That is the point of
connection between dust and heaven. The inner man is the one who has
communication with God, and it is this inner man, when it is separated from
God, that can still abide by itself because it’s a spirit. When it eats, it can get
power within the earth and can continue but within the earth is the
corruptibility and within the earth, therefore, is the lifespan and the end
story. That which is from above is of eternal nature and does not die as such,
but the earth corrupts to the extent that when you eat from the dust, whether
fish or meat, whether leaves or cassava, you are eating death. All of them are
corruptible but if you eat from above, that is not corruptible. That is eternal
and that is of a higher and different nature. The Christian Church mission
must understand this thing. In the church mission some time ago, it looked
as if the whole essence was for man to be saved from sin and death hoping
that a man will go to Heaven. So, you are saved from sin, and you have been
Powered by Notta.ai
prepared to go to heaven. That appeared to have been much of the focus of
the Christian message. Today we have another focus, salvation from sin and
getting occupied. (I’m using the modern message please. Whether I accept
this is another question.) In other words, you have many ramifications or
extensions of it. Today is the dominion theory or whatever it is. All it meant
that you get occupied with subjugation and control of the earth. The
mountains, the hills and all substances of the earth for your human
enjoyment. Didn’t the Bible say that? Today the churches focus changes
from going to heaven, knowing that we are pilgrims here. The Old
Testament, the Old Message, was we are pilgrims, and we are going to
heaven. That was the focus, so enjoyment of the earth was not so important,
but the separation from Broadway and coming to think that you are a pilgrim
here and you are going somewhere so get ready and prepare yourself. Today,
forget whether you are a pilgrim or not. Let’s make it here anyway. This is
our home. Let’s enjoy ourselves. Haven’t these powers been given to us by
God to enjoy, to subjugate the earth, was it not said in the garden of Eden? It
is true. Today the church goes that way. They may preach the kingdom of
God, they may preach all things, but this is the underlying factor it seems to
me. We can discuss whether I’m wrong or not. There’s another thing and
many more, but I want us to consider this. In this Christ -human redemption
mission I’m talking about on this occasion, salvation from sin, redemption
from the human fallen nature for this upward journey, a fullness of that
redemption and resurrection of glory are spirit beings is the new dimension,
we are suggesting, that Christ has saved us from sin. Yes, we have overcome
death to some extent. Yes, but that is not the end of the story. There must be
a way of overcoming the fallen human nature. That’s where the restoration
comes. The redemption, salvation from sin and the redemption of man, must
find expression in overcoming of the human nature, the fallen human nature,
and restoration of glory and that upward man, which Christ has told us, into
glory as a divine being, as children of God, or the second Adam, height of
glory. All the three drawn, are centered on Christ, the cross, and Christ
works. Whether you met the salvation or waiting to go to heaven, or
salvation and enjoyment from the environment here, or salvation and hope

of glory here and there is centered on Christ, the cross, and Christ works in
addition to the cross. The third point, as I said earlier, is the focus of the
Christ’s human redemption mission. In these three days, we are considering,
in short, the human estate for which and for whom Christ came and for
whom Christ was revealed. The main scripture for Christ’s mission, is John
3:16. He said, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting
life. The whole human estate is a perishing phenomenon. I call it the death
economy. Man born in sin, grows in iniquity, establishes everything,
buildings and structures, kingdoms and dominions, empires, civilizations, et
cetera, only to perish. None of these sins are lasting. None of them will last.
To the extent that man himself is perishable, nothing he does is lasting or is
permanent. There’s nothing within man that is capable of maintaining or
creating a permanent institution. To the extent that the men that propose the
things and bring them are subject to death or they are perishing. The Bible
tells us in Psalm 90, “tomorrow, he’s gone. He establishes a big empire with
big names running all over the place and the next morning he’s no more.
Another man comes and thinks he would like to do it better than he did and
he too is no more. Nothing is permanent in this system. The theories, the
philosophies, the ideas that they propagate may seem to be strong and
powerful and great, so people are running around but today and tomorrow it
is gone. I crack a joke with the communist movement. It lasts as the life span
of a month, seventy years and it’s gone. We are learning all these great
books, yet they don’t last. They have no life in them. They perish with time.
So how can we save this situation? For God so loved the world that he
gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not
perish and have everlasting life. You may think of everlasting life as a way
of averting death and escape from the fallen human nature state or state,
which is the second major cause of death. There’s a question of non

fulfillment in this human system. You work but your inner man is not
fulfilled and before you were able to say that it is finished, you were gone.
Ecclesiastics will say all is vanity. If you were a deep spiritual person, these
pass away vain glory and vanity upon vanity shall never catch your

attention. If you are a spiritual person, these things that are passing away
will not occupy your mind and your spirit and you will not endeavor to use
your spiritual energy to chase these things but even Christians are using the
gift of the Holy Spirit and their energy they have to chase these things. I call
it prostitution in church. There’s no fulfillment as long as you walk that path.
If you walk the human nature path, the normal human nature path, you will
never find fulfillment because there’s corruptibility within you and there’s
mortality waiting at the end. As you are working and working, you find that
things are not complete and perfect in themselves but in any case, sooner or
later, you are gone so you will not find the solution in your lifetime, and he
who takes over from you cannot find it either. It is a wild chase for an entity
unknown. It cannot be properly identified. It is vaguely the mind and
expectations of philosophers, religious theologians and all the rest, but it is
never reached as long as they remain human beings. That’s why all life
becomes vanity and futility.
Beloved, the concerns and occupation of the fall or the fallen man are
myriad. I was preaching at a wedding somewhere and the Lord asked me to
say, a human being is a bundle of problems and if you want to focus on the
problems of man, your whole lifetime and your whole preaching and
teaching will be on problems. Every day there will a reason for one problem
or the other. You will go through the scriptures on how to solve the problem.
Problem upon problem. Beloved, man is a bundle of problems, so salvation
has all kinds of meanings. Today the preaching is salvation upon salvation.
From 31st January to 31st December is all salvation. Today there’s a
problem. The next day, another problem. The problems never end, like Jesus
said, the poor are always with you. Praise the Lord. In our search for
solutions to problems, sometimes we avoid the truth. We never get out of the
problem solution to go to the truth and to go to the love of God. The truth of
God is not even searched for in some churches because they are occupied
with problem solution. A woman said, if you come to Africa, these
theologies are very necessary because Africa is in a poor state and poverty is
abounding, so we keep on thinking about poverty and backwardness, so the

truth of the scripture doesn’t come for discussion. There’s no effort to study
the scripture and get to know this God who is truth. There’s no effort to
know this God who is truth, but the problems have occupied us, and we are
not getting out of them. Tomorrow morning there is a problem. The next
day, another and the pastor has a whole lot of problem charts. He said in the
scripture, it’s hard to solve the problems. If you are Ghanaians, forgive me. I
used to tease the church in Kumasi. They will go to the forest for 40 days
and 40 nights fasting in the forest somewhere looking for solutions. One is
on deliverance. One is how to raise money so he can be an expert in raising
money. One is in power. If he throws his hand, everybody should fall. They
don’t know God yet and there’s no God in their system. Their system is
power to do certain things so they will specialize in it. Sometimes whether
they meet another power that makes them do those things is not important.
We were discussing with brother Moses this afternoon and he said, if you
want to think of only the end result, you can meet anybody who will give
you the end result. If the end result is your measure of success, you may be a
fool because you may be meeting another spirit that will offer you the end
result but then it is not the God you are worshiping. Jesus Christ met the
an in the wilderness and said “look, you have the gift in you. Solve the
problem. Turn the stone to food and eat. What do you want? You are
hungry. You have all the gifts of the Holy Spirit with you. Why do you get
poor? Use the gift and get rich. How can you have such anointing upon you,
and you are poor? Get rich. This is in the church. How can a pastor be poor?
Get rich. What’s this anointing for? Anointing breaks the yoke, get rich. The
yoke of poverty. Because they don’t get into truth, they are occupied with
problems and their solution. If you go to the hospital and the doctor, by
God’s grace, finds proper diagnosis and proper prescription of drugs and you
are healed, you worship him, so whichever spirit you meet in the forest,
worship him as long as you get the result that you want. If you don’t know
the true God, you may meet another spirit. That’s what I’m suggesting. If
your end result is the question, you may meet somebody else. There are
spirits that specialize in many things. When they were in heaven, before they
cast them out, they were angels responsible for many things. That is why our

fathers were worshiping many gods. There’s a god for fertility, there’s a god
for this, there’s a god for harvest, many gods. When we were dealing with
this problem in Ghana, you go to places, and they say they said they are
speaking in tongues. They will have the names of fallen angels and call them
and invoke spirits. Many gods, but is this the true God you have met? Is he
the one you are worshiping? This is not why I’m here today, Brethren. We
are here to introduce the Christ redemption of the human state. Man
redeemed from captivity, sin, Satan, and death. Man redeemed from the
fallen nature and its weaknesses, corruptibility and mortality. We are here to
consider man brought into the open door of salvation, redemption, and
restoration of glory in the new nature of second Adam for new, fulfilling,
joyful, and abundant life in Christ. That’s where we are thinking now. The
emphasis here is in Christ. It is necessary then to know who Christ is. You
cannot solve this problem until you know who Christ is. Who is Christ? He
asked the disciples, who do men say I am? Thou art the Christ, the son of the
Living God and Jesus said, upon this confession, I will build my church. If
you are able to identify with me, if you are able to know who I am, then you
have focused on me and if you build your faith and confidence in me and
you bring the people upon me, you would have fulfilled the mission. This is
the crucial matter. Who do men say Christ is? 1
st Timothy 3:16 “great is the
mystery of godliness that God was manifest in the flesh. If Timothy talks
about godliness and people are talking about godly society, it is not moral.5
This Christ, the divine nature, God manifests in the flesh. If you have been
redeemed, and you are walking on the streets of London, they must see God
manifest in you. That is the state that God has brought you to and that’s
where we are entering. We are entering a new realm of existence, not the old
fallen man struggling to solve problems, but man, that has become God.
Seen of Angels, testified to be true by the spirit. The angels have seen God
become man. They have seen a new man. Jesus is a new model of the new
man. The man, the first Adam was lower than angels, but this new man is
higher than angels and the angels will look at that man and say this one is
not the one we used to command. This one is different. This one is higher.
This one is the one that has been given power to judge we the angels. This is

the one that can send us because we are ministering spirit so this one will not
worship us. This one cannot go to the forest and meet a spirit and agree with
the spirit. One night I was in the house and a spirit whispered to me plainly,
“do you know that Mary is coming back? That is the mother of Jesus is
coming back? But the scripture doesn’t say Mary is coming back. In any
case, whether Mary is coming back or not is not important. Why should I get
interested in Mary coming back. Who am I expecting? Jesus Christ, not
Mary. If I had greed in the spirit, I would have seen some apparitions. I can
see a spirit speaking to me asking me what I want? Many people have seen
Mary, and they go and worship her because they want some miracles. They
want something. “If you go there, your disease will be healed. These are the
results but did the Bible says salvation is in Mary? The Bible doesn’t tell me
salvation is in Gabriel or some other angel. No. There’s only one name by
which I’ve been saved. The salvation is in Jesus Christ. This salvation is not
diseases that are healed.
Beloved in Jesus Christ, the salvation is not diseases that are healed.
Salvation is a new man, the new creation in Christ. Sins have been forgiven
and he’s a new person. That is salvation. If I was only looking for solutions
for problems, I was only looking for power to build a bigger house. I was
only looking to command worlds, that’s not salvation. Brethren, I don’t want
to get angry here. Brethren, the Christ in you, this divine spirit. The
important thing you and I have to know is that Christ in spirit. I was telling
them in Ghana; Christianity is not a theology. Christianity is not a principle.
Christianity is not an idea statement that we believe in. “I believe in God the
Father”. The Creed doesn’t make you a Christian. You can believe it. I agree
with you, but you must be a Christian before you believe in it. If you believe
in it, the Bible says you can confess your faith, but you must be born again. I
believe that it’s mental or intellectual exercise, but you must be born again.
Christ is Spirit and this spirit who is Christ must come and dwell in you.
That makes you a Christian. It’s the Christ life that makes you a Christian
not commanding of resources. Christ is spirit, a divine spirit. Divine spirit,
the God nature, God divine spirit revealed in a human form for purposes of

what? For God’s so loved the world that he gave. So, you receive him.
Amen. This is the gift I have received. That is the basis of my salvation and
my hope. I am now a Christian. I have received the divine spirit. You know,
this is revealed, released and given out freely to whomsoever will believe,
and this is the basis of hope for the sinful, fallen, hopeless man. It is given to
the sinful, fallen, hopeless man. This is given and the riches are in this spirit
called Christ, the riches of Christ. I’ve seen some preachers preach the riches
of Christ, he became poor, that we might be rich and they think rich there
means what? Material possessions. Even ordinary English, they don’t
understand because if you read the scripture, it doesn’t refer to that. There’s
nothing there that shows that this is money or material possessions.
Preachers of very high scholarship, so called can’t even see this simple
sentence and understand it. Praise the Lord. The riches are Christ. Christ’s
open, divine nature, heavenly virtues to you and I and it’s given freely.
So, the second point then is that, if we know who Christ is, then what is the
basis of this new nature which I tried to introduce by saying that is the
Christ’s spirit presence in you and with you. Amen. It is this that creates the
sinless nature in you. That’s the hope of eternal life. Satan’s, sin cannot have
dominion over you. That’s where the victory comes in, amen. That gives you
the victory over whom? Death. We apply the blood, yes, in order that that
sin does not have what over you. When you have a problem, since you are
growing in stature, by all means you will have sin, but he said, he gives you
something to wash you first. The Israelites were waiting for one year before
they could wash their sins away but you on the spot, you wash away so you
can walk in the newness. As soon as the sin comes, you apply the blood, and
you go back immediately. Hallelujah. Maybe if you are a Jew and you die
after the last cleansing and you are waiting for the next cleansing and the
time hasn’t come, you die in sin. Hallelujah. That was not fulfilled. The hope
of salvation was not fulfilled in that system. That’s why Hebrews says, if the
first was complete, there would not have been the need for the second. It was
not complete. So now the blood has been that as soon as you have a
consciousness of sin, what do you do? You apply it because the sin now is

defiling. It is not defiling the Christ in you because the Christ in you is
complete. Hallelujah, but the rest of your body and your spirit that is being
transformed is defiled. So, you cleanse yourself and you can walk boldly as
if nothing has happened. Don’t tell young children so that they mess
themselves up. Praise the Lord. Since they are on their young journey, young
people need to be cultured and directed. They are given laws to help them
because they are young. Praise the Lord. That gives you victory. In the
Christ spirit also, you have victory over whom? Satan because Satan is an
angel and is a spirit. As another human fallen man, you have no power to
confront Satan but now with Christ in you, you can confront him. There are
many things in the course of history. I think you understand it. Amen. You
are redeemed out of the fallen state. When you were fallen, your
weaknesses, your powerlessness, sin, you yourself know that you are sinner
and then they will conclude that to err is man. That’s the true statement, to
err is man so he’s hopeless. By that statement, he has agreed that I’m a
sinner. If you tell him he’s a sinner, he will disagree, but he will tell you
what? To err is man. The same statement he said, “no, I’m not a sinner, but I
err. So today they will not say sin. They’ll say what? A mistake to color it a
bit and make it look palatable in my nose. But if he said to err is man, it
means that what? He’s not perfect. He’s not complete. Praise the Lord.
There’s a fallen person and the fallen nature is such that you may meet all
kinds of problems. You are not capable. Hallelujah. The Bible said the
highest of all of them is vain. Man at his highest is vanity. I think it’s in
psalms 36 or so. It’s vanity. He’s a big man. He’s made names but you can
see him at the next corner, he behaves like a child. He will mess himself up
because he’s a human being. Amen. First, they don’t surprise me. Now my
passion goes deeper than they’re not surprising me. They are acting as men.
The Bible says God knows that we are but man so his spirit cannot contend
with us indefinitely. Because if God were to press his standard, who can
stand? Who can stand? Jesus said, if you see a woman and lust after her, you
have already committed adultery or fornication. Then Peter said, “Who can
live? Who can serve? Who then can be saved? So, Jesus said, with men, it is
impossible but with God, all things are possible. “I know you can’t do it

because if you carry yourself in the measure I’ve given, you have already
declared yourself hopeless, but I have power to save you. I can forgive your
sins and save you. I can lift your hand and take you out of that system. I
have power to forgive sins. I have power to justify you. I have power to
declare you righteous, and I have power to transform you. I am God”. That’s
where the hope is. It’s not in our work. Salvation is by grace through faith
and not in works because no work can qualify to the standard of God. That’s
why it’s grace. You pastors, when I was a young Christian, I used to be very
rigid and firm, but I hadn’t become a good pastor yet so when somebody sins
in the church, I’m very rigid and I’m very firm. Not that I would sack him out
of the church but I’m very rigid but now there’s love and compassion of a
higher nature. I see the man that is a sinner. Sometimes he wishes he was
good, but he can’t help it, and you don’t know the moments of agony that a
person goes through that he wishes he was good but there’s no good in him
and he cannot be good because he’s not there. It is your duty and my duty to
be pumping good into him slowly. He can be in the church for 30 years
before one day he will wake up from sleep. He’ll say, after all what I’ve been
doing. I’ve seen pastor God converted after I preach in America in a
Southern Baptist pastor’s church. He had been a pastor for 30 years. He has
been struggling. He said “Enoch, the whole night I couldn’t sleep. He
became converted as a pastor. For many years he was preaching, scholaring
and his class was made of brigadiers and rich men in Washington, but he
was still struggling with life. Man may trust himself that he can work it. You
can work it. Every time you will find yourself falling because you are
already fallen by nature. Praise the Lord. Only God can redeem you. The
redemption. This redemption is not works, but Christ. If you grow in Christ,
the redemption is taking its course. You are growing in him.
I want to thank God, and I want to pray that today you will see the old state
of fallen man of sin subject to all kinds of indignities, diseases, death,
molestations and oppression by the weakened and corrupt nature. The weak
and corrupt nature of man. Man oppressed and put in captivity by Satan and
death. You are going to see possibilities of a new threshold of life for a
redeemed man. In the old fallen man, we are subject to diseases, sicknesses,

all kinds of things. They can throw all kinds of things your way. Your own
mind cannot comprehend it. It cannot go beyond your little nose. Your IQ is
limited and there’s no way to break your IQ, because you were not there
when you were created and this IQ put on you, there’s no natural mechanism
to add to the IQ. They cannot give you drugs to eat to increase your IQ. So,
the state in which you were created is like a closed circuit. There’s no way
you can increase your IQ. You were created with that IQ, period and if
somebody has a higher IQ, and he thinks that because they have it, he can
dominate you, he’s in sin and unrighteousness. You find that in society, that
people who are gifted, who use their gift to oppress their neighbors. The
Bible says a man is the head of the family, so the guy comes and says, “look,
don’t you know I’m the man? If you go and work all day, bring your money
to me. I’ll decide how to use it, because I’m the man”. It happens with some
foolish men anyway. Praise the Lord. And the nice woman would say, “My
lord, I have brought the money so let’s see what we can do, and the woman
submits. The man would not even respect the lady, insult her sometimes, and
rob her sometimes to make her know that she’s but a woman and my right as
a man is to lord it over you, so I sit for you to go and work and come and
bring the money, we shall chop it together. Praise the Lord. So, the man
becomes a slave owner in the house. Didn’t I wed you? And some of the
women give their money to be wedded and after they’ve given the money to
be wedded by the man, the man turns around and becomes the boss in the
house. I don’t say go and challenge the man, but this is natural order, and I
also even say it’s kingdom order. That’s what the kingdom made it. Praise
the Lord. But you see, a man that is liberated and redeemed has a different
measure of things. The exercise of authority is not a careless and
irresponsible use of power and the secret about that marriage is love. The
man who loves the wife, even if the wife is laboring, respects the wife and
gives her due honor. The wife doesn’t need any more than love. Not love in
the bedroom but love in everything, amen. We Africans think love is in the
bedroom. Excuse me to say, you are all elderly people, then the woman
becomes a beast in the bedroom, and she calls that love. Praise the Lord,
please, I’m an old man, so allow me to stick it.

The third point in this redemption system is the open door of sonship. As
many as believe him, give him them power to become the children of God.
Sonship is equated to divinity. You enter the realm of a divine person. John
1:16 say what? From Christ, who is full of grace, we receive grace unto
grace. There’s a divine nature within Christ. That’s why I said you ought to
know who Christ is. The secret is Christ as a spirit being because you are
being created into a new spirit being, so you draw from Christ. It is not any
scripture to quote it but drawing into that Spirit who is Christ. The Word of
God is a basis of contact with that Spirit who is Christ. The Word of God
can be power that you can use to do things, but you may neglect Christ, draw
on Christ, build yourself in Christ, grow in Christ and the grace. 2 Peter 1
from 2 to 11, it says that this open door of divine nature is given to us. Then
it gives us a list of the areas in which changes are coming into your life.
Endurance, knowledge, love, etc. Because we don’t have time, I won’t read
it, but you can read it. Then verse 11 of 2nd Peter chapter 1 says “For so an
entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. An entrance will be made to you. You
know an entrance. Verse 3. As his divine power has given to us all things
that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called
us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great a
precious promise that through these you may be partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Giving all diligence, adding to faith what? virtue, virtue what? knowledge,
knowledge what? self -control, self -control what? perseverance blah blah
blah blah. In other words, the divine nature is manifesting itself. You are
growing in a newness of nature, and it said, if these things continue then an
entrance shall be made possible for you to enter abundantly into this
kingdom of Christ. You know it is not a moral thing. Some Christian or
religious books may think that this also is in another faith or these are moral
virtues, so somebody is going to discipline himself under some kind of
religious system. Buddhism, he can sit down and wait and wait or Hinduism
or some other religion, a Muslim or something so he can whip himself or do
certain things so that he will develop this virtues in himself but the source of

this virtues is the Christ in you and as you grow in that Christ these things
become the reality of your new nature. The fruit of the spirit. By your divine
nature, an entrance shall be made unto you to enter abundantly into the
abundance of the abundant life that is in the kingdom of Christ. A new life, a
new personality. You are a new person. There are changes that will take
place in your life. A new personality. I’m saying that you can work towards
your salvation with fear and trembling. It’s not that by reading this scripture
you sit down, and you discipline yourself. Discipline is part of Christianity
anyway but you begin to say “I’ve got to work, let me bring myself under
obedience, self -control so then you enter emotions or psychology, then
those who teach psychology will come and say you can do this, those who
teach will say you can repeat these words so when you have a situation
where you are getting angry then you begin to repeat those words. You quiet
and you don’t speak at all, and you are burning inside you and you are
fighting the person inside you. This is psychology, this is religion, these are
some other things, but the divine nature, the spirit works it inside you and
when you grow in it, an entrance has been made for you to enter the
kingdom. If you have come to the point of sonship as a divine person you
have authority and power. Matthew 28 says all authority is given to me and
lo! I am with you. Can you hear ne? Lo! what? He’s not standing afar. Yes,
indeed He can stand with you but where does standing with you start from?
It’s in you. The Christ who said I’m with you is in you so it’s not, excuse me
to say let me, it is not an invocation proposition where you go to the sea and
draw a circle, and you repeat words, and then the spirit appears. That’s not it.
Lo! what? When we come here to worship, and every spirit submits, the
spirit of Christ is already in us so when we allow him, he begins to lift
himself up within us. Hallelujah and then there’s a tune within where?
Remember, Christ is in the atmosphere. Hallelujah. It is not the singing and
the repeating of words that invokes him. He cannot be invoked. Therefore,
you cannot repeat words or sing a particular song and do it in a particular
way then Christ will appear and say “I am here. Are you getting me? You
cannot repeat words and sing a particular song. Certain songs when people
hear it, then the people begin to die. Make sure whether they are dying

emotionally, or they are dying spiritually. You can create a situation. You
can go to church, the people are falling back and forth and I’m sitting down,
cool. Nothing’s happening. They are just telling themselves that they are
enjoying themselves because in the spirit, nothing is happening.
You cannot conjure up a situation of Christ here. No, you cannot bind him to
be present. Bow down before him. Lift him up. Exalt him in your spirit. If
you yourself come to worship and you start displaying yourself, is Christ
there? Are you getting me? My son is a musician, Peter’s friend. I said, this
God we are worshiping doesn’t depend on the tinkling sound or the fine –
tuned musical instrument. This is not the thing that we are hearing. We want
to hear Christ. Not that the music is bad, because I love music. I’m not a
musician, but I know music and when you are playing music, I can tell “that
is a musician. When you are putting in the encomiums, I hear them. Praise
the Lord. I can enjoy the music, but that doesn’t necessarily take me to
Christ. Brethren, are you hearing me? You can have nice music in the
church, and the church choir is swaying and doing all kinds of things and I’m
sitting there watching them because there’s no Christ there. They are just
enjoying themselves. They are behaving like human beings. If you go to the
disco anywhere, they will sing the same way. Praise the Lord. Men can tell
themselves that they will fall on the ground and they will fall. Praise the
Lord. What did I say? Men can tell themselves to fall on the ground and they
will fall. Pastor said they lay hands. People have come already, ready to fall
so they will fall. There’s nothing there. If you sit down and you are
measuring, you see that man doesn’t respects himself like a fool. Praise the
Lord. If you are sober in your spirit, you will know where the spirit of God
is. Where the spirit of God is, there’s liberty and you can see the spirit of
God moving. You see that this is not man at work, but who is at work?
Christ. one thing I love about it is that there’s unity there. It’s a beautiful
thing when you see Christ. There’s unity. There’s beauty. The word the Lord
used is not beautiful, but he said “my son, it is a beauty. It’s not beautiful, it’s
a beauty. You see Himself glorify Himself. Beauty and glory. It doesn’t
matter the crowd. It doesn’t matter the size of the choir. It can be one person,
and the whole church can lift their hands and start worshiping and crying,

and they are lost in transit, lost in the presence of the Holy God. They’re just
lost and when you get to the height of it all, there’ll be no sound left. When
you get into the height of the presence of God, no sound. You can’t even
have utterance to speak or to play, Peter will be displaying on the organ. I’ve
seen organists, now, they are displaying. Then God has work to do. Praise
the Lord. Because if you want to listen to your brain, you’ll be struggling
with the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. But you fall behind the organ, and nobody
is listening to the organ anymore. Christ is being exalted, and you can see
that state in the church. But there’s authority and power given to you. Act 1:
8 says “and the Holy Spirit shall come and why does he come? That you
must be witnesses of Christ. After the Holy Ghost shall come, ye shall be
witnesses. The witness is not in speaking alone but you might be moving
Christ. Power has come to consolidate and prove our new nature life. In
other words, or in another context, to demonstrate your new you, your new
person. Christ in you or the Christ you. Who is Christ? A spirit, divine spirit,
all -knowing, omnipotent, omnipresent. If there’s Christ and he’s a divine
person, then, he is everywhere, he is all -knowing, he is omnipotent,
omnipresent. What does it mean? You enter a realm that has no limit to your
knowledge. The only problem here is that it is not a consciousness level.
When there’s a consciousness level, then you begin to operate in your human
nature, but you operate at a point where you speak words, and you do things.
Who is not doing these things? The Christ in you. The Holy Spirit in you.
Preachers know what I’m talking about. You are preaching the sermon. Now
you are a listener yourself. You yourself are listening to what you are saying
but who is speaking? The Holy Spirit. Christ is addressing his congregation,
and you are also part of the congregation. So, it doesn’t mean the nice
sermon you wrote. It’s good but it’s only a contact point. The sermon is a
contact point. Somewhere you take off from but when you open up, praise
the Lord, he would say it as he wants. At that time, you are not thinking
what to say. Prophets don’t think of what they are going to say before they
prophesy. So, when you find a church, “I’ll prophesy over you, then you say
he’s not a prophet, he’s a liar because he’s going to think about what he’s
going to say. Are you hearing me? A prophet speaks as the spirit gives him

utterance. It doesn’t normally come under consciousness because
consciousness will make you infiltrate it with your human understanding.
So, you destroy the thing, then it shall cease to be pure, and it will not be as
effectual and powerful as God intended it to be when you put your idea into
it. Let the Holy Spirit speak by himself. When the preacher is preaching and
he enters a new realm, you can see that he’s up in skies and you sit down
alert and listen because now it is not the pastor speaking but God and you
bow before him. Not the pastor but God. But you know, God is in you also
so there’s a witness. There’s a witness. There’s authority and there’s power to
witness about Christ. Today, God has spoken. It’s not that he’s stamped his
feet and beat the door. He can be very cool and quiet and he’s still power, but
the same guy can be fire. He can be thunder and lightning. He’s a still small
voice but he’s also thunder, fire. There are times that he can be fire and your
whole body will be shaking, and you are sweating. You realize you have met
the Lord.
I thank God for you today. I feel that the time has come for me to bring this
message to a close. I’m just having a witness in my heart. I’m saying that
there’s a new you and this new you is a new personality operating from a
divine perspective. Hallelujah. And to seal this new you is the resurrection
stance. The resurrection is also spirit. It’s not resurrection power but it is
spirit. And who is the spirit? Christ. If the spirit that raised Christ from the
dead, dwells in you, he will quicken your mortal body. There you can do
things that the normal -fallen human being cannot do. He will manifest
himself in you. He said, if you believe, those who believe in me, I am the
resurrection. If a man believes in me, he will never die. And if he died,
what? Yet shall he live. It is when he is buried or something that raising him
from the dead can come. But if you are in him, then you are him. I’m not
talking about being buried and resurrected. I’m talking about living a
resurrected life. That’s what it means. The Christ in you will operate at a
level that even your normal fallen nature cannot operate and that human
beings, as normal human beings, cannot operate. If you face a limitation and
you see your limited nature, you see your weakness, then you remember the

spirit of resurrection is in you. You can drop on it. It will quicken your
mortal bodies. The pastors, you know that. You have not prepared for a
sermon, but you go to the church and they say, “oh, pastor, will you say
something? What do you do? You didn’t prepare. Praise the Lord. But a
soldier is always a soldier. As soon as they tell you, you just be quiet. The
scripture will come to you. You come to a point; you just sit down. You
have not said anything. The body is moving. As soon as you get there, you
are a different person. Then you will know that Christ is doing his work. Not
you, Brethren. There’s a resurrection spirit in you, and it’s quickening the
mortal body. You stand and perform and when you consider your weakness,
you can say “This is the work of my God, but the spirit is in you.
God bless you, brethren. This is the door open to us. This is the door that the
Lord is making me bring the church to understanding. The gate of power and
performance of glory. You’re a new creature. You’re a divine person. You
have victory over sin, over Satan, over death, and you have victory over the
human weakness. There’s an open door of divine nature, power and
authority. An open door of heaven, divine strength, divine presence, and
glory of God. This is the new you and a new life. Walk no more in the flesh.
Living and behaving as an old man, non -performance, non -redeemed. Now
be a new man, in Jesus Christ.
Amen. Thank you.
