Speaker A
You are struggling with sickness, ask God, you are struggling with sin, ask God.
Speaker A
You are struggling with, with barrenness, ask God, you are struggling with reproach, ask God, it is foolishness for you to say, these things don't exist, they don't exist.
Speaker A
Your life will prove that they exist.
Speaker A
I was teaching you on Sunday, I told you, don't deny the crisis, recognize the state, but refuse them from dominating you.
Speaker A
What I'm telling you here, it's not saying they don't exist.
Speaker A
I know people who say, I beg, there's nothing like demon possessing people, I beg, there's nothing like patterns, bloodline pattern, I beg, there's nothing like family wickedness, but they've been there for 25 years, dying under it.
Speaker A
Satan is a rebellious spirit, he will force his government, you are the one to say, I am not under your government.
Speaker A
So if you find somebody like me saying, I will not be demonized, it's because I have a revelation that I have been transferred from the dominion of darkness into the dominion of light.
Speaker A
But it will be foolishness for me to say, the dominion of darkness does not exist, no, it exists, but I have been moved from it.
Speaker A
So when I say, the devil can't possess me, the devil can't dominate me, I'm talking from my revelation, I've been carried from his dominion, I'm no longer under his authority.
Speaker A
But if I come now and I'm trying to argue with scripture that the dominion of darkness does not exist, it's a joke.
Speaker A
But how did I get it? By asking.
Speaker A
See, most of your prayers shouldn't be God, give me a job, those are prayers of babies.
Speaker A
When you kneel down to pray, ask for light, give me the light that I need.
Speaker A
You need light, you need revelation, but you will pray to have it.
Speaker A
In James 1:5, he said, whoever lacks wisdom, should ask of God, that giveth liberally and unbraided not, don't let your eyes remain blind, ask.
Speaker A
That's how we get revelation.
Speaker A
When I want to come preach, I lie down, I'm asking the Lord, give me understanding, give me light, give me utterance.
Speaker A
So sometimes even when you are standing, you are saying things you didn't know, and you check later, it's accurate.
Speaker A
So sometimes you learn after you have spoken, because light was given you.
Speaker A
You don't ask, you won't receive, most of us have not asked for light in any area of our life, lives in the last five years.
Speaker A
Meanwhile, there are many struggles, no job, no financial breakthrough, no health, struggling with sin, but you are not asking for light, you are rather looking for somebody to help you, that's where your problem is, get revelation.
