[Speaker 1]
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword. His truth is marching on.
[Speaker 2]
Churchism and fellowships cannot be more spiritual than the individuals and families that constitute them. God greatly desires a godly home front. These are words of restoration and instruction in righteousness from Family Tent Ministry. May you be blessed as you listen.
[Speaker 3]
We bring our praise. We bring our adoration. We bring our worship. Lord, we honor you. Lord, it has been you. Lord, it is still you. Lord, it will yet be you. We bless you. We adore you. We worship you. Our sufficiency, our all in all, our buckler, our shield, our banner, our Redeemer, our refuge. Lord, our God, our stay, and our rock. We worship you, our God. We say blessed be your name in the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord, unto you again we gather this evening to fellowship one with another, to fellowship with the scriptures, to look into scriptures. Lord, we pray, let your spirit work within us, among us in the name of Jesus. Lord, we connect together, we that are here physically, our brethren on Telegram, our brethren on Mixlr. Lord our God, we say, meet with us all in the name of Jesus. Lord, address the situations of our lives in the name of Jesus. Thank you, eternal Father. Blessed be your holy name, our God. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Amen. Please let's have our seats. Let's have our seats. We have been looking at—we started last week amplifying further what we began three weeks ago. Three weeks ago, we were looking at understanding the human heart, and we saw the situation of the human heart. Then last week, we began to see what is the solution about having a correct heart, and we began to look at seeing the invisible. Seeing the invisible. We want to move on from where we left the matter last week about this issue of seeing the invisible. But just before I do just one or two recap, is there anybody that have any particular thing to say about last week? Our last week discipleship class? Anybody have anything to say as to what you took home, as to what you learned, as to what was a blessing for you? Anybody before I move on? Okay, two persons. Okay. Please come and use the microphone so that brethren online can hear you very clearly. Okay.
[Speaker 4]
I learned that seeing the invisible—that it is those who are able to see the invisible that are able to do the impossible. And I also learned that the matter of faith—we're talking about faith being a substance. So I was able to take home that faith is the substantial part of what we cannot see. So it's faith that is going to be able to make us—that even though we cannot even see what it is that God has promised us, but then if we have faith, it can be the substantial part of that that we can hold on to, as we're talking about how the fathers of faith were able to embrace what they've not yet even seen. So that's what I was able to learn.
[Speaker 3]
Thank you. Faith is the substance. It's substantiating what we hope for. Yes, the second person.
[Speaker 5]
Praise the Lord. So I was able to take this home. He said seeing the invisible will make us to be consistent and persistent with our walk with God. That our generation, what is making us not to be consistent is that we can't see the invisible. That those that can see the invisible be consistent. So he talked about the father of faith, that Moses was able to bear the reproach of the gospel. He was able to see Christ because he saw the invisible. That is why he was able to bear the reproach because he saw the invisible things and he was able to embrace it from afar. To add, I'll hold on to that.
[Speaker 3]
All right. All right. One thing that was coming out very clear last week is the fact that where there is no vision, the people perish. How? And one thing that you must understand as a young man, one thing that you must understand as a believer, one thing that you must know is that if you cannot see afar, if you cannot see that which is to come and be able to embrace what is afar, then you cannot go far. You can't go far. Go and check every everybody that was able to go far with God. Go and check it. They are people who could see—they're able to see beyond the immediate. What are the things that distract us in the immediate? I mentioned them last week. What are the things that distract our heart in the immediate? The lust of the flesh. The lust of the eye. And then the pride of life.
And we gave example of people. Look at all the plates of garnished, succulent food that was placed before Daniel. And he was saying, "Sorry, just give me vegetable and water. Just give me vegetable and water. I'm okay with vegetable and water." It takes somebody who can see not to be carried away by appetite. You know some people are conquered by their appetite. It takes somebody who can see afar, honestly somebody who can see afar, very, very important. The lust of the flesh. The lust of the flesh. The lust of the eye. I showed you Achan. Achan saw Babylonian garment. He saw talent of gold while he was breaking through into Jericho. You know they're able to break down the wall of Jericho and they were capturing that city. The breakthrough of Achan became his breakdown.
Why? The lust of the eye. He saw. He couldn't take his eyes away. Quickly, he just went to hide it. And then when they were taking—they called tribe by tribe, Judah was chosen. They called clan by clan, the Zarhites were taken. They now were taking family by family, then the family of—I've forgotten the family that was taken now—the family that he belongs to. Then they now were taking man by man, they now pick Achan. They now said, "Okay, look, tell us, what did you do?" He said, "Actually, let me tell the truth." Is that a confession? No, he's only found him out. You don't need to make them catch you before you say you want to confess. No. Through true repentance, it's before you are caught.
Do you understand me? He saw. He could not see a future outside ordinary Babylonian garment. Ordinary, not the whole of Jericho, just a garment. And you see some people like that. Ordinary three-minute sex. They could not see their life beyond fornication. Three minutes, four minutes, five minutes, they are through. And yet they cannot see their life beyond that fornication. They can't see their life beyond it. So you find out that it is people who can see afar, who can see beyond the immediate, that can actually travel far. Or else, once you cannot see afar, the things you are seeing in the immediate, they will be the determinant factor of what you do or how you behave.
And I think I gave example of young men that will say, "Any anyhow, you will not go more than forty years, but you will have money as if you have up and down. Just let me have the money. Just let me have it." I was wondering, they could not see a life outside money. And we made mention last week that cursed is that man that the only basis of his prosperity is money. That man is cursed. Because prosperity has diversified dimensions. And we gave example last week. But one thing that came out very clear is that one of the operations of the Holy Spirit in the new covenant is that old men, they will dream dreams. They will dream, so they're able to see, they're able to know. Dream. The young men themselves, they are not left out. What does the Bible say? They will see vision. Nobody is whatever category, there is a place of seeing.
And I just want to move on today on this matter, just because I just want to make you comprehend this issue of the invisible. This issue of the invisible. Being deliberate, move on from where we left the matter. Let's go to that Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews chapter 11. From there we'll just go straight into some examples to further establish this matter of the invisible. Seeing the invisible. Seeing the invisible. Now, we were looking at chapter 11 of Hebrews and we have been able to come to the man Moses. After we saw that the elders were able to embrace the things that were afar. I want to quickly get to Moses.
Now, he says by faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's command. By faith, Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the sons of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he looked unto the reward. By faith, he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured. That is the matter we want to—I want to try and expand today with references.
The Bible says for by faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king. There was a threat to his life. What was the threat to his life? He got to know that the Israelites knew that he killed somebody, and so it's likely the king too will hear. So he left Egypt. Now, when the Bible say he left Egypt, there is something here that the Bible, which is the basis of—from where I drew the topic. He says for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. Please note, the matter is not he endured seeing the invisible. Do you—I hope you are following me. The Bible says he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.
I said something last week. I said by faith we were able to understand that the things that are seen are not created from the things that appear. Meaning that physical things are not consequence of physical things. Is that not? Physical things, they are not product. They are not coming because of some physical things around us. Now, if by faith we believe that the things that are seen, the physical things, don't come from the physical, then what are we actually believing? If we are believing that plants don't just come because the ground is fertile. If we are believing that rain don't just fall because there was an evaporation from the earth, the thing now condense in the sky—those of you in science, I hope I'm quoting your science very well—the thing now condense in the sky, the thing now began to come down again on earth. Do you understand me?
If your understanding that no, it is not because I planted mango, that is why mango is growing. It is not because—if you are believing that, then what are you saying in essence? You are saying that there is a creator. Is that not what you are saying? Once you are saying that the things that are seen by faith, I'm saying that this thing that we are seeing, what brought them into existence is not these physical things, then you are admitting, you are saying that these things came into existence by Him. There is somebody we cannot see that is creating it, that is making it to happen. Is that not?
Now, the Bible now says something about Moses. The Bible says he was not fearing the wrath of the king for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. Moses' ability to go through all of those things is coming from a walking—the Bible says as seeing. Let me take another translation. It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt. He was not afraid of the king. Moses kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible. Are you seeing it? He kept his eyes on the one who is invisible. What is this thing telling you? What is it telling you about Moses? If Moses was going on, on, on because he kept his eye on the person who is invisible, what is it telling you about Moses? That actually, let me depict to somebody.
What did Joseph discuss with Potiphar's wife? What was most controlling Joseph? So, what made sexual advances from Potiphar's wife—you know today, it is not that somebody is even doing an advance, somebody is pressurizing you. Many times today, immorality is even coming from the person that wants to be immoral. Do you understand me? But in the case of Joseph, somebody was pressurizing him and the circumstance of the pressure is one that we can excuse him for. Is that not? He was just a boy, he was a young man with flesh and blood like any of us. And it was the master's wife that was pushing for him. But what is the thing that won? What made sexual attraction to lose its grip over Joseph? "How can I do this thing and sin against God?" So, where was God for Joseph? Where was God? Where was God?
Number two, I'm showing you what made that thing to lose power. Number two, there was also other situation. The situation of not fearing the wrath of Potiphar's wife. Do you know that one thing that makes, for example, a student, a female, to sleep with the lecturer even though she does not want to? The lecturer happens to be the supervisor. What was she fearing? Are you understanding what I'm trying to say? There is a fear of wrath. A fear of your action backfiring. Is that not? Now, when it is obvious that an action will backfire, it is clear. The only thing that makes that clarity to be useless is the invisible. Do you understand me?
You know it is clear. So the Bible is saying that when you see people, that's why I mentioned the impossible last week. When something is obvious, it's obvious that there is no way around this thing. This thing, if I don't do this thing, there is no way around it. When you see men that will say, "Whatever happens, let it happen. Whatever will be, let it be. As for me, I am not going to do this thing and I know it shall be well." When people talk like that, you'll be wondering what is he looking at? Because ordinarily, the circumstance of a possible wrath, a possible backfiring is a pressure on its own. Do you understand me? It's a pressure.
If you see one of the things that make people to sin today is the fear of something backfiring. The fear of the consequence of not of facing what may happen if you don't do that thing that that thing wants from you. Now, the Bible now says that what make these people—you know, when you look at Moses, when you look at Joseph, when you look at these people, the Bible says what made them to be like this was that they were able to see Him. That's the point I'm making. What I am saying in connection—connecting back to what I said last week—is that do you realize that until the eyes of faith can bring God to the physical, you cannot live godly when you are under a weather that is not fair?
The reason why you have fair weather Christians, but when the situation changes, you know what they do? They also adjust. You know when you are talking of not being able to follow Jesus, you notice that people can follow Jesus as long as there will be no trouble. Is that not? As long as following Jesus is giving you first class, who will not follow him? Following Jesus, you are just cashing out, please who will not go? Following Jesus, you just step here, American visa. You step there, miracle. You step there, plenty. Who will not follow? But you notice that the followership of Jesus is about—please listen to me—he said if anybody want to follow me, let him first deny himself.
So that real followership is not in situation where there is no self-denial. Are you understanding me? Where the thing is eating and drinking, you can't find true followership there. Peter told Jesus, he said, "Even if it will mean to die with you, me, I will not deny you." But when Peter, when he saw death face to face, what did he do? Number one, I don't know him. Number two, I don't know what you are saying. Number three began to swear and to curse. "Ah! Don't bring trouble on me. What is this people's problem?" He began to swear and to curse. Why? There was an impending death. If Peter say, "I know him," under this situation of all of these people, "Hey, I'm sure they're going to kill me as they're planning to kill this man and I don't want to die now."
So, what I'm trying to make you understand is like what I was saying two Saturdays ago in Singles Club. I said where somebody is doing what you like and what you want, is there opportunity to love? There's no opportunity to love. What opportunity is there? Is to like. You cannot love in that situation. Because the first thing about love is that love suffereth long. So if there's no reason to suffer, there's no love. Love only comes to play when the person is acting contrary to expectation and you are patient. Say, "Yes, that is love." But when the person is going according to expectation, it's only like. That is a like. You cannot love in that capacity.
What I'm saying about following God, you see, if you look at that scripture, it says let him deny himself. You see, it is impossible to take cross where there is no denial. It is impossible. And now listen, the reason why people—you know, people want to take the cross, but they don't want to do what? They don't want to deny themselves. Without denying themselves. How's that possible? Men who don't want to deny themselves but they want to take the cross, where will they end? You don't know. We need to go to Philippians. Please let's go to Philippians. There is enough reference on that. There is enough point to point that out for us in Philippians.
Can we go to Philippians chapter 3? I want to show you something then we will now look at some very, very serious thing and be able to see if we can really reach some few time to pray today. Now, Philippians chapter 3—let me open here too—are you in Philippians 3? I want to take it from around verse 18 but I want to take it from verse 17. Are you there? "Brethren, join in following my words. My words. My words." May you not join in following wrong examples. He said, "Brethren, join in following my example and note"—that's why I tell you, if as a Christian you cannot discriminate—when I say discriminate I'm not talking of—I'm talking of the ability to differentiate and design. The kind of company you want to keep as a believer, you cannot last. That is the truth. Walk with the wise, you become wise. Companions of fools are destroyed. Blessed is the man who does not walk where? In the counsel of the ungodly. There are several godly people that walk in ungodly counsel. So they are not blessed. They are not fortunate.
Now he said, "Brethren, join in following my example and note"—it is important for you to note those who walk as you have us for a pattern. So there must be men you have for a pattern that you are patterning your life after. There must be a pattern. Don't just live anyhow. There is a pattern. That is why—I want to show you some people and you will see that this pattern is consistent of seeing the invisible. Of being able to see the invisible that make them endure that situation and remain consistently godly. There is a pattern for us as believers. He says, "Look, who as you have us for a pattern." Why? Why must we be careful about having the correct pattern? Why? Verse 18, what did it say? "For many walk." Do you see it? How many? Many.
So let me tell you something. Please listen. That everybody, that many people, that plenty people are doing certain thing does not make it right. Only one person can be right. Be careful with those kind of languages. Be careful with that kind of orientation. Do you remember the case of Micaiah when all the prophets they prophesied, King Ahab, "Go! Go! Go! You will win the battle. Go!" Then they went to call Micaiah. And as he was coming, they quickly called him, "Bro, bro, everybody said the king should go well. Please, just key into the pattern. Just key. Everybody said the king should go well. Please, just key into the pattern." So when he got there, they said, "What will happen in the battle?" Ah, he said, "Go, you will have success."
When the king noticed the way he said it, the king knew that they had pressured him to say what he didn't want to say. The king said, "Look, Micaiah, for how long have I told you that you must always tell me the truth?" Ah, he said, "You want truth? Thus says the Lord, all these prophets that are talking, I saw and I'm seeing the Lord now. I'm seeing the Lord." I'm talking of people who are consistent. He said, "I saw the heavenly and I saw the Lord saying, 'Who will help us deceive Ahab into this battle so that we can kill him?' And different spirits were just talking, they were just talking, talking, talking until one spirit came forward and he said, 'Hey, I have a joker.' And Baba said, 'Yeah, what is the joker?' He said the joker is that I will just go now and I will put a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. They will all tell him to go and that way he will go and he will die. He said and I saw the Lord say, 'Go, you will succeed.' So all of these your prophets, they have a lying spirit in their mouth. Now hear the mind of the Lord, if you go to that battle..."
One of the prophet came and gave him—"Wham! When did God—" you see prophet against prophet. May we be that one man that can stand in the midst of the multitude. Because there is a pattern. I've shown you a consistent pattern. These men could see what? The invisible. Are you seeing it? They could see the invisible. And then he told Ahab now, Ahab now said, "Look, I will go and I will come back." And he said, "Then it will not be God who spoke to me if you go to that battle and you come back alive." He said, "Go and put him in prison."
May you not carry an identity that will set you for destruction by foolish decisions, stupid counsel, lack of understanding, not being able to see into the spirit. Because he was a godly king—I hope you know Jehoshaphat was a godly king. But he was acting stupidly. A lot of believers are like that. Godly, correct brothers, but they cannot just dissociate themselves from some wrong association. Same thing with some sisters. Very good, very correct where they are going. "Uhh, I just joined in secondary school." And so what? Does that make an alliance that is not correct to continue? Slim reasons. "Actually, you see, my mother and her mother they are friends and I was told that I should try and always make sure that it's spiritual." And so what? When do you become Holy Spirit? You can tell a lot of excuses that we can give.
But we should be designing when God don't want us to continue in a journey with an individual. It is not hatred. It is being able to walk in godly counsel away from what does not work in a godly counsel. We must—birds of the same feather should flock together. Light should flock with light. That is the correct thing about association. Now, eventually, they left Jehoshaphat. That was just divine providence. But because Ahab was still marked for destruction, even though he was wearing Jehoshaphat's clothes, how did Ahab die in that battle? Who remember what happened? They said and one of the archers just shot arrow at a range. No target. But I just see in the spirit, you know what happened? One angel just carried the arrow. "Follow me," and just went—you know the way all these cartoon normally do? Just jumped Jehoshaphat—wham, wham, wham, wham—king! You know, one angel just carried that thing and then Ahab was gone.
But what is the point I'm making? Is about Micaiah. God said two things. Number one, join in following my example. And number two, note those who walk as you have us as a what? For a pattern. There is a pattern for Christianity. There is a pattern for godliness. And we still show you this same pattern in Paul. Because it was again that Paul that told us that the things that are seen, they are what? They are temporal. But the things that are not seen are what? They are eternal. Telling you that those people, they can do what? They can see the invisible. Remember the trouble on the sea? Where everybody was confused, they don't know what to do. And Paul said, "Look, everybody take food and eat. For the Lord that I serve, He has told me that nobody will die."
Oh, I'm showing you this kind of men. It's a consistent pattern. Go and check men that endured and that lasted in the things of God. They could see Him who is invisible. Not as a religious—religious thing, "God is there." That's not what I'm talking about. That invisible, listen, has been substantiated. It has been embraced. It has become a substance. Faith is the substance. It has been substantiated. God is no more invisible to them. God has become what? Visible. That's what I'm saying. Faith is the substance. There is a substance. It has become something you can hold. You agree with me? It has become a substance. After what you cannot see cannot become a treasure. If what we cannot see become a treasure, it's because that thing that is invisible has become visible to you. Do you understand me at all? Ah, it has become a substance.
Do you agree with me? It has become a substance. Yes. He says follow our pattern. Our pattern. For many walk, of whom I have often told you, often, they said it over and over again. Not everybody who looks believer is going to heaven. Not everybody who we are fellowshipping together, not everybody, we are not all going to the same direction. If you notice that you're dancing like this, you're dancing like this, you're dancing like this... you must be listening to different musics. Do you agree with me? Yes. He says I told you often and I'm telling you even weeping. Even weeping. That they are the enemies of the cross. Listen. They are not enemies of Christ, but they are enemies of the cross. They are people who don't want to do what? Take the cross. Because the only way to that cross is to what? Is to deny yourself. Note, he didn't say enemies of Christ. Enemies of what? Of the cross.
So when you notice somebody is an enemy of the cross, when somebody finds self-denial, refusing himself, allowing the will of God to prevail over his or her life, when you notice that as a consistent pattern in somebody, it's not somebody to pattern your life after. And why? Why are people like this? Is what I'm showing you. What I'm showing you, look at it. Who's end is what? Destruction. Do you see that anybody who does not take that cross, who does not deny himself—there's a process to taking that cross—the end of that person no matter how you look at it, is what? Is destruction.
Look at the next thing. Whose God is their what? Is their what? What does that mean? What does that mean? Can you try that in other translation for me? I want to understand when he say whose god is their belly. You know we've been talking about lust, lust, lust, lust since morning. NLT. They are headed for destruction. Their God is their appetite. So their appetite is their what? Their appetite is their what? Is their God. Is there any other rendering of that thing? N-I-V. Their destiny is destruction. Their God is their stomach.
Jesus said, "Do not—" you remember Jesus? "Do not worry about what to eat, what to drink, what to wear." For is not your life more than food? Is it not more than these birds of the air? They don't sow, they don't worry about what to eat or what to wear. Yet, what was—seek what? First, what? The kingdom of God. I'm trying to show you that I'm just connecting things together for you. These people, their God is their belly. The Bible says that they glory in their shame, siding with earthly things. They are mindful about earthly things.
What I'm trying to make you see is what we started—the nature of the human heart. The nature of the human heart is designed to do what? Look up or look down? Down. It is when you can see the invisible that can now have victory over the heart. That is the reality of it. Once you leave the heart, the heart already knows where it's supposed to go. That's why you see Jesus too keep talking. Don't worry about this, don't worry about that, leave this one... Jesus at another point, he said, "Look, you cannot serve two masters." You see, because wherever your treasure is, that's where your heart is.
Place your treasure on things that are above. Who can treasure what is above that cannot see? Can you treasure what you cannot see? You can only treasure what you can see. As to what you cannot see cannot become a treasure. If what we cannot see become a treasure, it's because that thing that is invisible has become visible to you. Do you understand me at all? It has become a substance. Do you agree with me? It has become a substance. Yes.
After, there must be, there must be a cry. There must be a desire. There must be a pursuit in our heart that God, cause me to see the invisible. Look at something I want to point you to. I will—we will take that today and then it's a very popular story. 2 Kings chapter 6. 2 Kings 6. Seeing the invisible. 2 Kings chapter 6. It's a very popular story. The story of the Syrians. You are familiar with that story now? Yeah.
The whole thing started from verse 8. "Now the king of Syria was making war against Israel and consulted with his servants saying, 'My camp will be in such and such a place.' And the man of God sent to the king of Israel saying, 'Behold, that you do not pass this place for the Syrians are coming down there.' Then the king of Israel sent someone to the place which the man of God had told him. Thus he warned him and he was watchful there, not just once, not just twice." Who are the men that can profit their nation? Men who can see the invisible.
"Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled by this thing and he called his servants and said to them, 'Will you now not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?' And one of his servants said, 'None, my lord, O king, but Elisha the prophet who is in Israel tells the king, the king of Israel, the words that you speak in your bedroom.'" Please, before there was drone, have they not been drone? Is this not a spiritual one? Somebody was there and he was monitoring everything. Are you seeing internet connection? You think there's no internet in the spirit? Is that not CCTV? Who was the CCTV for Israel? Elisha.
"Now he said, 'Go and see where he is that I may send and get him.' And it was told him saying, 'Surely he is in Dothan.' Therefore he sent horses and chariots and a great army there and they came by night and surrounded the city. And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army surrounding the city with horses and chariot and the servant said to him, 'Alas, my master, what shall we do?' Alas, my master, what shall we do? NLT. 'Ah, my lord! What will we do now?' he cried to Elisha. But he answered, 'Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.'"
Please, is Elisha in this passage praying to see the invisible or his natural light? Is this faith not a substance? Is it not a substance? Is it not a substance? It's a substance. I am just showing you, I'm trying to show you, these host, they are afar. Is that not? But Elisha, has he embraced them? He has. They afar. Nobody could see them ordinarily. But somebody said, "Fara bale, those with us are more than those with them." And I just see that servant, that servant, I'm just imagining, he first do like this, he didn't see anything. He do like this, he didn't see anything. He do like this, he didn't see anything. And then he look at Elisha... Master, it's not clear. Master, I'm not clear. What are you saying? "They that be with us." Who are those with us? Nobody is here.
And as he was parading like that and jumping up and down because he's not seeing anything, may you not be scarcity in the midst of abundance. There was so much around him, yet he could not see it. That is the spiritual state of many of us. There is so much around us, but we cannot see it. At many time we are crying, "Oh God, oh my life!" and God is just looking at you, "I wish you can see what I'm seeing."
And when the man of God saw that the boy was just behaving like this and was restless, Elisha prayed and said, "Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." When I'm talking about seeing the invisible, I'm talking about believers whose eyes have been opened. May your eyes be opened. I'm talking of a say God, open his eyes. I trust God we'll get to that point next week. When you look at Ephesians chapter 1, you will find it there. He said that your eyes of understanding might be opened. There is a place of a open eye. There is a place. I am telling you, there is a place where we can see the invisible. I am telling you in our walk with God, where we can see the invisible, where faith becomes a substance. It's a substance that we are working with. It's a substance that we are joining with.
And I want to close on that note this evening. Lord, Lord, don't let me remain the way I am. Don't let me remain the way I am. You see, this has to do with prayers. It has to do—he that asks, receives. He that seek, find. Unto him that knock, it will be opened. Knock, ask for correct things. Solomon asked for the correct thing. Ask for the correct.
Lord, that I may see the invisible is God. That I may see you. The invisible is God. That I may see you always. Lord, God, that I may see you. That you become visible to me in every situation of my life. Lord, become visible. Even nobody was there, but Joseph could see God. He could say, "Look, do you know what you are talking about, Madam? I can't sin—God is here." Lord, become visible to me in every situation of life. In every situation.
Only one man may not sin. Lord, be visible to me. You see, when He's visible to you, when God become visible to you, temptation begins to lose their power. Threats and intimidation, they begin to lose their power. People will be saying this is not possible, you will be saying, "My God can make a way where there is no way," because you can see. You are not trying to console yourself. Let me just console myself. No, that is not faith. Faith is I can see it. I know it. I can see it. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
Holy Ghost, do it again. Do it again. Do it again in my life. Open my eyes, oh Lord, to see Jesus. Who is seated upon the throne. Holy Ghost, do it again. Holy Ghost, do it again. In my life, do it again. In my life. Open my eyes, oh Lord, to see Jesus. Who is seated upon the throne.
Can you pray one more time again? Lord, Lord, don't let me remain the way I am. Don't let me remain the way I am. You see, this has to do with prayers. It has to do—he that asks, receives. He that seek, find. Unto him that knock, it will be opened. Knock, ask for correct things. Solomon asked for correct things. Ask for the correct. God, God, that I may see—that I may see you. The invisible is God. That I may see you always. Lord, God, that I may see you. That you become visible to me. It's a substance that we are working with. It's a substance that we are joining with.
Thank you, everlasting Father. Your son that you have used for us again tonight, we lift up unto you. We are asking you, oh Lord, you will make him a transparent vessel in the name of Jesus Christ. An ever-flowing vessel. He will never be clogged, never be blocked in the name of Jesus. And as he sees you, he will transfer to men in this generation in the name of Jesus. Thank you, everlasting Father. For it is in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
