A WOMAN’S HUSBAND WAS DECLARED DEAD. 2 DAYS AFTER, HE CAME BACK TO LIFE!

MEMBERS OF THIS CHURCH OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL!

WHAT WE DON’T KNOW, WE DON’T KNOW. WHAT WE WON’T LEARN, WE CAN’T KNOW AND WHAT WE DON’T KNOW, WE SUFFER FOR IT

THERE ARE NO FINISH LINES IN BUILDING CAPACITY FOR THE SUPERNATURAL! EVERY TIME YOU OPEN YOUR BIBLE, THE SUPERNATURAL STARES AT YOU

BEWARE OF JOY BREAKERS; THEY WILL ROB YOU OF DIVINE PRESENCE.

BEWARE OF BREAKING YOUR JOY BY LISTENING TO JUNK.

IT TAKES JOY AND REJOICING TO SECURE GOD’S PRESENCE

WE SECURE DIVINE PRESENCE THROUGH ACTIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD AND THE INTEREST OF HIS KINGDOM

I READ A BOOK IN 1974, ‘LIKE A MIGHTY WIND’ BY MEL TARI AND I ALSO GOT THE SISTER COPY, ‘THE GENTLE BREEZE OF JESUS’. THEY WERE REPORTS ON THE INDONESIAN REVIVAL.

THEY WERE SO STIMULATING THEY QUALIFY TO BE THE NEXT CHAPTERS IN THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.

AFTER THAT MY SPIRIT MAN WENT AFTER THE SUPERNATURAL LIKE A HUNGRY WOLF. THAT LED ME TO FIND OUT WHAT IS BEHIND THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES IN A FIVE DAY FASTING, PRAYER AND STUDYING.

IN THE COURSE OF THAT FASTING, I WAS INVITED TO A MEETING TO PREACH, I CAN’T TELL HOW I MOVED FROM THE FRONT TO THE BACK IN THAT MEETING. I WAS LITERALLY FLOATING.

PEOPLE JUST PRAY AND PRAY FOR EVERYTHING. STOP THAT! CAN YOU PRAY TO BECOME A MEDICAL DOCTOR WITHOUT GOING TO MEDICAL SCHOOL?

THERE IS NO SHORTCUT TO DEALING WITH DARKNESS WITHOUT LIGHT.

WE CANNOT COMMAND THE SUPERNATURAL OPENLY WITHOUT SPEAKING BOLDLY.

TWO CANNOT WALK TOGETHER EXCEPT THEY AGREE. GOD WHO IS HOLY REQUIRES HOLY PEOPLE TO WALK WITH. 

YOU CAN’T BE LIVING ANYHOW AND EXPECT HIS PRESENCE TO BE WITH YOU.

–  Bishop David Oyedepo on OPERATING IN THE SUPERNATURAL 6 at LFC Midweek Communion Service || Canaanland

The supernatural is the natural estate of the believer. John 3:8. No exemption, everyone born again is born to operate in the realm of the supernatural naturally. That is why we are a peculiar people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. We are to be marvelled at not to be pitied by men. To be envied by all. People will see us and say ‘Praise the Lord’ for him. You mean God can make that out of a man? Church Gist. That of a woman? That of a boy and a girl? So my people keep struggling because they lack the knowledge of the truth that will position them in their inheritance. It is your inheritance but you have to know what it takes to operate in it.

Jesus, we are all here at your feet waiting to receive from you, speak to everyone tonight. Let everyone return from here with the rod in their hand with which to keep operating the realm of the supernatural and so let it be in Jesus name.

Our Prophetic Focus for the month like we know is I AM REDEEMED A WONDER TO MY WORLD. The anchor scripture is John 3:8. The teaching focus and we are in the sixth of the series right now is OPERATING IN THE SUPERNATURAL. You can’t operate a car without learning how to operate the car. You may buy an iPhone but you need to know how to operate it. If you have a computer system you need to know how to operate it. You can’t operate in any realm without learning how to. We cannot operate in any realm including the supernatural without learning how to. People just pray and pray. Stop that! Can you pray to emerge a medical doctor without going to medical school? Church Gist.  No! If you have a vision of getting into the medical profession then you must have a sense of going through the training otherwise you will be a fake native doctor. Operation demands training. Knowing how it works, knowing how to put it to work. You don’t learn it, you can’t engage it. One time, one professional body said they wanted to give me an award, I said I am not in that profession. They said but you are encouraging them. So if I am encouraging a doctor does it mean I am now in the medical association? No! Please. Nigerians do a lot of funny things. I am not in that profession. That I am encouraging a soldier does not make me a soldier. I now say I am a General, they ask me how I say I have encouraged many Generals. Does that tally? People just need to come to terms with the reality of the Kingdom. He said study if you don’t want to end up ashamed. Every provision made requires a working knowledge to access.

Operating in the Supernatural, which is our natural estate in redemption. An old man was down with high blood pressure, hypertension and dizziness and had been praying for 17 years. A believer and a priest, born again. One day he went to a bookstore and bought three books. Healing by Kenneth Hagin, another book in healing by Fredrick K.C. Price and Keys to Divine Healing. He said I went through your book, Keys To Divine Healing and on the third day I took the communion as prescribed and immediately the 17-year-old bondage on me was loose. Church Gist. There is no shortcut to dealing with darkness without light. Light is the husband of darkness any day. When light shows up, darkness backs out. Without the rod of the Word, you can’t operate in the supernatural. Exodus 4:17. You can’t operate in the realm of signs without taking the rod in your hand. People don’t want to. We have a whole volume they call Signs and Wonders Today. It is a catalogue, a compendium, an encyclopaedia of signs and wonders today. Many have never read one line. They bought it, they bought it for others too.

I read a book in 1974 on the Mighty Wind of God by Mel Tari and I also got the sister copy, The Gentle Breeze of Jesus by Mel and Lona Tari. They were all reports on the Indonesian Revival. They were so stimulating they qualify to be the next chapters in the Acts of the Apostles. My spirit man went after the supernatural like a hungry wolf. That led me to say let me find out what is behind the Acts of the Apostles. I was 5 days in fasting and prayer reading the Acts Of The Apostles. If you dont look for it, you can’t find it. He that seeketh, findeth. He that knocketh on the door, it shall be opened unto. Church Gist. You can’t sit down here under one hour teaching and say that you have gotten everything. No! In the course of that fasting, I was invited to a meeting to preach, so I went there. I couldn’t tell how I moved from the front to the back in that meeting. I was literally floating. By the time I turned back, everybody was backwards facing me. They were wondering what is going on, is this man flying somewhere? I didn’t know too myself. Matthew 7:7-8. You can’t find the rod without seeking it.

I read the book The Apostle of Faith, a material on Smith Wigglesworth in 1979. I became wild in my spirit. Light broke out on Ephesians 2:6 and Ephesians 1:20-21. Church Gist. Far above mentality just gripped me, I was looking for any devil to show that I have found it. If you don’t look for it, you can’t find it. The rod is not on the streets, it is in the book. We must go for it.

However, we have come to discover that the Holy Ghost is the mastermind of the supernatural. He helps our access to the rod to command the supernatural. John 16:12-14. He is our guide into all truth and the truth implies access to the rod that puts us in command of signs and wonders. John 14:26. When He arrived on the day of Pentecost, revelation exploded through Peter. Explosion of revelation. Church Gist. That is not a fisherman’s content. That was super intelligent content. They were pricked in their heart and three thousand turned their heart to Jesus. That is the principal ministry of the Holy Ghost, it is to enhance our access into the truth which provides us access to the rod required to command the supernatural in our areas of concern.

Joel 2:28-30. The Holy Ghost is the master mind of the Supernatural. Every body has a right to the baptism of the Holy Ghost if he’s genuinely converted. I can’t convert you, I can’t save you, you can’t save me, the saviour requires your genuine conversion to save your soul. Church Gist. Until you’re ready to genuinely repent, you cannot be converted. Until you’re converted, you cannot operate in the supernatural – you can mimic it, it won’t work. It’s never late to be right. So it is everyone that is born of the Spirit not anyone else. Not everyone that is living in Church.

Luke 4:14, 37. Signs and wonders began to erupt at the instance of the Holy Ghost. So we are not just empowered to be effective witnesses, we are empowered to be operators of the supernatural.

Interestingly, enduement with the power of the Holy Ghost is the right of every believer. (On the day of Pentecost) – Acts 2:38; Acts 10:34-44 (in the house of Cornelius). The moment he sees your heart turned to him, it’s your turn to receive the Holy Ghost. Church Gist. Acts 19:1-2. It’s automatic; when you’re born again, it’s your right. You don’t need to mature to get it; he is the one that will help you to mature. So we need the Holy Ghost to operate in the realm of the Supernatural. Acts 19:1-2, 6.

What is a sign? A sign can be defined as an act that cannot be explained by natural laws, yet, cannot be denied. Someone asked me years ago, “How much will this place cost – between the Youth Chapel and the Secretariat?” Church Gist. I said, “I’ve never found out.” The supernatural is unexplainable that’s why they call it supernatural – it is above natural laws and circumstances.

How do you explain the parting of the Red Sea? By what science or technology? Is there any software to decipher that? How did these about 3 million people feed? Because their journey was on and on. They could be one week in a place, the cloud will move – Numbers 9:15-23. They could be 2 years in a place before the cloud will move. Church Gist. So there is no time to farm. In fact, you’re surrounded by enemies; you’re always defending yourself against the assault. So how were they eating? They say, manna from Heaven. “Manna? No, there’s no such manna” – (they say). So why didn’t they die there? They went through the 40 years in the wilderness. Exodus 16:35. How do you want to explain that? Is that food science? Exodus 16:8. Now, a rock followed them – because they were in the desert. How did they not choke? Church Gist. A rock followed them, issuing them water. So as they moved, the rock moved. Geography can’t explain that!

The supernatural is just simply unexplainable. That’s the realm you’re walking in from now!

– Everything about your life will become a wonder to all!

– Every body will be praising God as they see you operate in your new realm!

If any of those things were found to be fake, I will tear my Bible; they are real. Acts 4:16-17. Peter’s shadow was healing the sick! Signs are therefore, the strange acts of God in the life of a believer that cause men to wonder. Isaiah 28:21-22. Church Gist. People that mock the supernatural just die with obstacles. They die struggling for life. Luke 2:34. Caution! If you see anybody coming against the supernatural, he just goes down. That you haven’t gotten it does not mean it’s not real. Daniel 3:28-29.

– There is no consuming fire on this earth that will affect you if you care to learn how to operate in the supernatural!

There are many people today in this commission that have the identity of the supernatural. When you mention Signs and wonders, Winners is part of what you mention. It gives you the meaning of what signs and wonders are. Church Gist. There are many who have never read one book on the supernatural, one book on faith, they have never listened to one message on it. If you don’t seek, you can’t find. If you don’t knock. The door will not be opened.

One of the mysteries behind the command of the supernatural is bold speaking. Acts 3:14. Our mouth is the trigger that provokes the flow of signs and wonders. Mark 11:23. It is our tongue that puts us in command of the supernatural. David dared Goliath with such veracity. 1 Samuel 17:45-47. The Word went forth and David took steps – he ran towards him and brought him down. When what you declare moves you into corresponding action you have won. God just told me now, I told them January 1997, this is the place. I told the people looking for the land: now, see if you can get 100 acres. They say we have gotten 100. get 200. get 300. Get 400. I said God just told me now this is the place. Not I think. There are many things God has spoken to you from His Word but you can’t speak it openly. He spoke to you directly, you know this is the Spirit of God speaking to you.

The Holy Ghost is our source of boldness. He empowers believers with boldness. We saw how Peter rose like a rock after the Holy Ghost came. They were hiding for fear of the Jews in the Upper Room. When the Holy Ghost came, Peter the Rock emerged. Matthew 26:69-75. You will find that a little girl made Peter start swearing that he does not know Jesus. In Acts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the whole of Jerusalem could not stop Peter. He just exploded. The Holy Ghost just enfired him. They can’t stop him! Everything Moses heard from God, he declared boldly and Pharaoh had no choice but to bow. Church Gist. He commanded catalogues of signs and wonders by bold declarations. Don’t watch your mountains staring you in the face, clear them up. Matthew 17:19-21. Nothing shall be impossible to you. We can only command the supernatural openly by speaking boldly. So we saw the three Hebrew boys in Daniel 3:17-28. The consuming fire arrived in the fiery furnace, fiery furnace fire bowed. The three boys came through a cold room in the fiery furnace. We cannot command the supernatural openly without speaking boldly. Psalm 81:10-14. They are harassing you because you are not speaking or you speak quietly in your room. No! You can’t deal with me. Somebody is coming, you stop. Somebody came to our office in 1983 and said he was hearing noises in his house. I said you are too quiet. Nature abhors a vacuum. When you get there begin to say Hallelujah, Hosanna in the Highest, Praise the Lord. Church Gist. He said he didn’t hear them again. You are too quiet. You dream a dirty dream and you just wake up and say Kilo tun de, Kilo de? It will be worse tomorrow. No! Not here! In the name of Jesus. Whatever this source is, it is cursed right now. This goes back to where it is coming from right now in sevenfold. This man understands. They clear and go to another man’s house. They clear the way for you. They have no choice but to clear. Your adversaries will turn back now. They will know you are a no-go area for the enemy.

Another factor that puts the believer in command is the consciousness of divine presence. The consciousness of God’s ever-abiding presence. The feasibility of the invisible God is what puts the believer in command of the supernatural. Hebrews 11:27. Abraham was walking with the invisible God with the consciousness of His reality. Church Gist. They call it the faith of Abraham. He said walk with me. We walk by faith with God and not by sight. Genesis 17:1. 2 Corinthians 5:17. We walk by faith and not by sight. This is the master key to operating naturally in the supernatural. The consciousness of God’s ever-abiding presence.

These are the factors that will enhance that consciousness:

1.            Doing what pleases God always secures His presence. John 8:29. Amos 3:3. Two cannot walk together except they agree. This holy God requires holy people to walk with. 1 Peter 1:15-16. So it is the fear of God as a way of life that positions a believer to secure divine presence which is the master key to commanding the supernatural. When Israel came out of Egypt, God was their sanctuary. The sea saw them and it fled. Church Gist. Problems flee from you when you carry His presence. The Bible said they couldn’t find anything wrong with Daniel. Daniel was in the den of the lion and God was present to stop the mouth of the lions. He turned them into pets. Daniel had a good time with them all night. Daniel 6:4-5. Divine presence becomes his natural portion. You can’t be living anyhow and expect his presence with you.

2. We secure divine presence through active partnership with God and the interest of His kingdom. Matthew 28:18-20. When God and the interest of His Kingdom becomes a believer’s lifestyle, he enjoys divine presence naturally. Church Gist. He gave them the commandment, “go and preach to all nations” and he said, “these signs shall follow you as you go” and they went in obedience and he was working with them confirming their words with signs following. Mark 16:15-20.

We secure his presence which emits the supernatural by going after Him and the interest of His Kingdom. That’s the result of the kind of thing we see in this Church from various members across the nations. Church Gist. Their active partnership with God and the interest of His Kingdom puts them supernaturally in command of the supernatural.

Somebody’s husband was declared dead. 2 days after, he came back to life – Woman oh and then a man is looking somewhere.

God’s presence turned Moses to a great commander of the supernatural. Exodus 33:13-17. Behind the operations of Moses out there is the manifestation of divine presence. Church Gist. All those mighty acts, signs and wonders, they were all manifestations of divine presence. Deuteronomy 34:10-12. You flow naturally in the supernatural when God is present. Psalm 114:1-7.

– Everything that used to trouble you will be clearing away for you from henceforth!

3. Another key that secures his manifest presence for us is: Joy and rejoicing. Psalm 22:3. Church Gist. Beware of joy breakers; they will rob you of divine presence. Beware of breaking your joy by listening to junk.

Paul, a man that operated in a strange dimension in the supernatural, he was making his recommendation, “rejoice in the Lord and again I say, rejoice.” Philippians 4:4. The secret of men are in their stories. 1 Thessalonians 5:16. Psalm 100:4. It takes joy and rejoicing to secure God’s presence. Church Gist. 1 Corinthians 10:10; Psalm 16:11. Don’t rob yourself of divine presence by complaining about petty things which leads into major havoc in life. Jealously guard divine presence. Paul was a wonder – lost in the Sea overnight, stoned to death, they couldn’t bury him. He was just out of this world. He lived to be called the aged; he had natural control over death. Church Gist. (Philemon 1:9; Philippians 1:22-24) He wasn’t begging death, he was in command of it. One of his mysteries is joy and rejoicing. Romans 8:31; Acts 27:22-25).

So whatever barrier must lift up its head to God, must do the same to anyone carrying his presence. Psalm 24:7.

– I see all your barriers clearing the way as you allow God to have his place in your life!

Please know: what we don’t know, we don’t know. What we won’t learn, we can’t know and what we don’t know, we suffer for it. Isaiah 5:13. We all still have a lot to do in building our capacity for the supernatural. No finish lines! Every time you open your Bible, the supernatural stares you in the face. Church Gist. Imagine a Bible without the supernatural? It’s a dead text book. The supernatural gives it life and that’s what will be your portion from now. Expect that any barrier still standing on your way, by taking hold of what you have heard tonight, will clear off finally before this month is over!

Lift up your hands and thank God for light.

 ALTAR CALL

I once told you the story of a man that came to my office who was weeping, sobbing. What’s going on? Nothing is working. I said, okay, I can’t pray for you under this condition. Go and get the book, Satan get lost. If you finish it within 7 days, come back. When he came back he didn’t weep here. He laughed and said, I didn’t know satan is this cheap; thank you very much Sir. Church Gist. He had gained command. If you find a student weeping because of exam, he is not prepared. You went to school to write exam; it’s not that it is a strange thing. Challenges are normal but we must be equipped to deal with them.

– In the precious name of Jesus, as you partake of the Communion the grace to keep working to grow spiritually for greater insight that will put us in command always will be released upon us.

John 6:5-6. “Himself knew what he will do” – that’s the beginning of a miracle. You can’t know what to do and still be stranded.

– As you partake of this Communion, the eyes of your understanding shall be enlightened. The scales in our eyes will drop.

Luke 24:30-31; Daniel 11:32. One of my seniors in the faith said, David how much savings have you got now, you’re going into full time ministry? I said, nothing; if I have anything, I will finish it because he told me not to carry purse or scrip or money. Church Gist. He said, ehen when I went like that I suffered o. You didn’t know what I have found. I took time to find out who pays me. It took me 2 weeks Sir. It’s not all these reading daily guide prayer – no! Topical search. I saw myself on his pay roll – no joke. It’s my life, I can’t play with it. I don’t need your nonsense savings.

– By this Communion, everyone’s eye will open wider, see brighter and will gain greater command!
