UNCOMMON CHANGE OF NAME SUNDAY SERVICE | SUNDAY 05-03-2023

John 5:1 KJV

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

John 5:2 KJV

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 

John 5:3 KJV

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

John 5:4 KJV

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

John 5:5 KJV

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

John 5:7 KJV

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

John 5:8 KJV

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 

John 5:9 KJV

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. 

●● ●  LOOK AT THE PROGRESSION IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE IDENTITY OF THIS MAN : a certain man / a weak man / the man

 

1- A CERTAIN MAN

 

●  John 5:5 KJV

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

 

The meaning of it is someone known, but not named.

 

But the thing is he was known for something not commendable. He was known not for an exploit. He was known not for something good.

 

He was known for his situation has taken so long that there is even no need to name him.

 

That is what we find in verse 6.

 

John 5:6 KJV

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

Anyone who has been in a situation for long ends up being identified with it. Am I right?

 

People can start making fun of him. People can even reject  him.

 

I told you the fast is closing officially this Friday. Everyone should continue normally. But for me. No.

 

Listen to me.

 

Cases are not the same. There are cases/battles that take longer than others and longer than what you can imagine.

 

Let us look at Moses in Exodus 17

 

Exodus 17:9-13 KJV

 

And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.

 

[10] So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

 

[11] And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

 

[12] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

 

[13] And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

 

This story shows a generational battle that Moses thought he will fight standing. He was wrong. He thought it will take minutes. He was wrong. He had to sit down and keep his hands up until the sun goes down and until the amalekites are defeated.

 

That is the battle I'm engaged in this time round.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Back to this certain man, SECONDLY, HE WAS DESCRIBED AS THE WEAK MAN.

 

John 5:7 KJV

 

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

 

Other men say ... The invalid. The sick man. The disabled man. The ailing man. The weak mam.

 

What a way of describing a man. Not by his name but by his infirmity. Not by his name but by his challenge.

 

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. I refuse my life to be identified with my challenge.

 

Watch his declaration closely. It shows clearly that the impotency of this man was beyond the physical.

 

 

 

 

 

THE SYNDROME OF  I HAVE NO MAN :

 

Nobody is there for me. Nobody helps me. Nobody cares for my situation. Nobody calls me. Nobody assists me. Nobody supports me. I have nobody…

 

May you be free from such impotency in the Name Of Jesus Christ !!!

 

● "Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me."

 

● From the declaration above, the man is displaying to Christ :

 

● First of all the pattern of loneliness, abandonment and rejection. He says … I have no man …

 

● By his declaration, we can understand that this man was left alone. He was deserted. Probably his relatives or siblings or friends got tired of him because not only his case has taken long but also because he has become a burden too heavy to bear.

 

● How does this kind of pattern manifest practically in real life?

 

● When you have the pattern of loneliness, abandonment and rejection in his life, … It will happen in your life that

 

1- You will lack divine and destiny helpers!

2- Someone might love you but suddenly and abruptly hates you and block you!

3- The enemy puts on you an invisible mask to hinder people from seeing you!

4- The enemy can misrepresent you (through gossips, false accusations, etc) so to make you smell bad for people to depart from you!

 

● I declare and  I decree in your life …

 

1- You will not lack divine and destiny helpers in the Name Of Jesus Christ!

2- Those God has appointed to love you for you will not depart from you but will love you the more in the Name Of Jesus Christ!

3- Any kind of invisible mask put on you to hinder people from seeing you is destroyed today in the Name Of Jesus Christ!

4- Everything the enemy has ever done or said against you to misrepresent you, God is turning it to celebrate you!

 

THE SYNDROME OF ALMOST THERE BUT NEVER THERE

● After saying to Jesus, “I have no man”, the paralytic continued and told Jesus … in John 5:7 “…while I am coming, another steps down before me…”

 

● For 38 years, this man suffered from a plague called “almost there but never there”

 

● When I tried to read his declaration from other versions, we find the following

 

● While I am coming [to get into it myself], someone else steps down ahead of me.”

 

● While I am trying to come [into it] myself, somebody else steps down ahead of me.

 

● When I’m trying to get to it, someone else has gotten in ahead of me.”

 

● While I’m trying to get there, someone goes in ahead of me.”

 

● While I am coming to the water, someone else always ·gets in [goes down] before me.”

 

● When I try, someone else always goes in before I can.”

 

● As soon as I try to crawl to the edge of the pool, someone else jumps in ahead of me.”

 

● Without a helping hand, someone else beats me to the water’s edge each time it is stirred.

 

● From the declaration of this man, it appears clearly and without any shadow of doubt that in his life, he suffered delay because anytime he reaches the edge of the pool, someone else faster than him will step down before him and he doesn’t reach the destination and doesn’t get the expected result.

 

● That is what we call the Syndrome of almost there but never there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

● How does this syndrome manifest and operate in someone’s life?

 

1. ● It makes people to labour in vain without getting the expected results.

2. ● We see people in courtship for many years but never get married.

3. ● A woman can be pregnant for 9 months but end up with still birth.

4. ● Many will submit proposals to organizations but the job will not be given.

5. ● It is a pattern of seeing but not attaining, building but not completing.

6. ● It is a pattern whereby whenever a big blessing is about to come, certain forces would come to stop the breakthrough.

7. ● Someone might have a job interview to attend, but strange things will happen to cause delay or hinder him. Or when he reaches the final stage, they tell him, Sorry, we cannot take you.

8. ● This pattern makes someone to make gradual progress but several steps backwards, work so hard but never get the reward.

9. ● Seeing others getting and experiencing breakthrough but still at the same spot stagnating.

10. ● When about to breakthrough, something happens to cause you to be angry and miss your breakthrough.

11. ● Any time you have a business deal, everything is in place, then at the last minute things just fall apart.

12. ● Or you are on a line waiting for something, when it gets to your turn they say it is finished.

13. ● You see what you want, just as you are about to get it, something goes wrong.

14. ● When success slips out of the hand with ease.

 

● Please take note that this syndrome is dangerous.

 

● It causes someone to have no testimony. No celebration. No jubilation. No congratulation. No joy. It causes terrible delays. Frustration. Stagnation. Like this man who remained 38 years at the same spot. God forbid!!!

 

● Jacob suffered that in his life. He worked hard for 7 years to get Rachel. At the end, after working hard, he got Leah and had to work hard again 7 more years. Making it 14 years.

 

● Moses suffered that also in his life. He stayed 40 days and 40 nights at the mountain. At the end he got the tablets and just as he was coming down from the mountain, he got attacked by an unexplainable anger and broke it. Back again for 40 more days.

 

● Again, just as he reached the edge of the Promise land, just as he was about to enter, people provoked him again. He got angry again. He never entered until his death despite his petition

 

● Peter was walking on the water heading toward Christ. At the end, he got distracted and started sinking…

 

● Today I’d like to make proclamations of God’s Word to free you from the syndrome of almost there and never there…

 

● I proclaim over you Psalms 128:2 which says … You shall eat the labor of your hands: happy shall you be, and it shall be well with you.

 

● I proclaim over you Isaiah 65:21 which says … You shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

 

● I proclaim again Isaiah 65:23 You shall not labor in vain. You shall not bring forth for trouble; for you are the seed of the blessed of the LORD

 

● According to Hosea 9:14, miscarriage is a curse. In Christ, you are no more under any curse. In Christ, you are blessed. As the matter of fact, I proclaim over you Philippians 1:6 which says … He who begun this good work will bring it into completion

 

● Wherever you are, open your hand and receive the blessing …

 

● I declare and I decree over your hands that you shall eat the labor coming from them in the Name Of Jesus Christ,

 

● I declare and I decree over you that you will not miscarry.

 

● I declare and I decree over you that you will not depart in darkness. You will not live in vain. Your Name will not be covered with darkness.

 

● I declare and I decree over you that Your efforts won’t be wasted. You won’t be walking without anything to show. Never. Never. Never. In the Name Of Jesus Christ!!

 

● Receive power to CONCEIVE and give birth

● Receive power to START, finish and establish.

● Receive power to move from FOUNDATION to MANIFESTATION

● Receive the FINISHING GRACE

● You will finally CELEBRATE your achievement

● The last breakthrough you saw disappearing is the last ever in your life

● Receive power to FINISH your projects

● Receive power to convert all my GREAT IDEAS and GREAT OPPORTUNITIES into success

 

IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!!!

 

 

 

 

 

THIRDLY, HE WAS DESCRIBED AS THE MAN WHEN HE GOT HEALED.

 

John 5:9 KJV

 

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

 

You see now? When he was made whole, when he was walking, when he was healed, he was no longer the certain man nor the weak mam but the man.

 

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

 

That will be your experience in the Name of Jesus Christ!!!!!!!

 

That is why God told us today ...

 

 Isaiah 62:2 KJV

 

And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and THOU SHALT BE CALLED BY A NEW NAME, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

 

Watch this verse carefully.

 

1- The gentiles shall see ... First....

 

2- Thou shalt be called ... Next ...

 

This year 2023 is not the year of saying. No. This year is the year of seeing.

 

This certain man. This weak man. He became the man when the healing was confirmed.

 

There are things I want to see. To hold. To touch. As long as I don't, I proceed with the fast until I see it ... It is not about me. It is about his Church.

 

Before I proceed with my teaching, let me highlight to you today the power behind knowing who you are …

 

SEE HOW JESUS CHANGED THIS MAN …

 

 

 

 

● When Jesus came to meet this man, he asked him a question in John 5:5 … “Do you want to be healed?”

 

● Jesus was not asking him "are you able to be healed?" but "do you want to be healed?"

 

● Jesus was not asking him “is it possible to get healed” but “do you want to get healed?”

 

● Jesus was not asking him “tell me the story of what happened” but “do you want to get healed?”

 

● It is like Jesus was telling him … If you want to be healed, you can be healed.

 

● I mean it is like Jesus was telling him … You know what? Your situation is not a fate. If you want, you can get out of it anytime even right now.

 

●● Please, get me right …

 

Through this question, Jesus was revealing to him that he had within himself the power to stand out of the crowd, to stand out of the multitude, to stand out of what common people do, to stand out of the general, to stand out of the normal…

● If you look closely Jesus’ question, it looks awkward. Someone may say … How can you ask someone who is sick if he wants to be healed.  It is obvious that when you are sick, you would want to be healed.

 

● Friend, don’t assume. There are people who are comfortable to remain in the crowd. They are comfortable to look like anyone else in town. They are comfortable to fit in. They are comfortable to live in poverty. They are comfortable to struggle, to live a life of misery, stress, depression…

 

● Take note of this … To live the life you want, leave the life you don’t want.

 

● Life is a choice. Your life is your choice. Your choice is your life. Period.

 

● Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both you and your seed may live:

 

● My urge to all of you, Word Of Life, is …

 

● Life is a choice. Your life is your choice. Your choice is your life. You can choose to remain in the crowd of borrowers or to stand out and be among the few lenders. It is your choice.

● You can choose to remain crushed on the floor and be used by your spouse as a doormat, a carpet or a rag or to stand out ad live the life you were born to live.

 

● You can choose to fit in the crowd of the lame, the blind, the deaf, the struggling or to stand out and be different from the crowd.

 

● This morning, I am commanding someone under the sound of my voice to get out of the crowd. I am commanding someone to stop thinking like the crowd. I am commanding someone to stop talking like the crowd. I am commanding someone to stop behaving like the crowd. Why?

 

● 1- Because you are unique

 

● 2- Because your case is different

 

● The text we are meditating upon in John 5 shows that there was a protocol for the healing

 

● Step 1 : The angel comes down

● Step 2 : The angel stirs the pool

● Step 3 : The fastest who jumps into the water will be healed from whichever sickness.

● For 38 years, our friend was waiting things to follow the protocol as stated above. Not knowing that his case was different.

 

● I have a Good News for someone listening to me this morning … Your case is different …

 

● See how unique and how the case of this man was different. Others followed the protocol. But for him, the protocol was broken.

 

● Step 1: For others, it was the angel to come down. For him it is not about any angel but about Jesus Christ himself.

 

● Step 2: For others, it was about the angel stirring the pool. For him is about Jesus stirring his faith.

 

● Step 3: Others got healed by jumping into the water. For him, there was no drop of water on the body. No jumping anywhere. Hallelujah !!!

 

● In this season, it will be clearly clear that your case is different. What does that mean?

 

 

1- What affects, what afflicts and what disturbs others is not permitted to affect, to afflict or to disturb you in the Name of Jesus Christ.

 

2- When others' marriages are collapsing, yours will stand and grow stronger in the Name of Jesus Christ.

 

3- When others' children are disobedient, rebellious and unruly, yours will be godly and totally different in the Name of Jesus Christ.

 

4- When others' businesses are collapsing and stagnating, yours will stand strong and move forward in the Name of Jesus Christ.

 

5- When others around you are struggling financially, you will prosper beyond imagination in the Name of Jesus Christ.

 

6- When others are sacked from job, you will be supernaturally kept in the Name of Jesus Christ.

 

7- When others are dying young, you will live long in the Name of Jesus Christ.

 

 

 

THE POWER OF KNOWING WHO YOU ARE

 

POWER 1 -  It strengthens your spiritual authority over the devil and his demons.

 

● To exercise your authority effectively,  you need to know who you are in Christ

 

● The sons of Sceva were asked who they were. Since they didn't know, they fled, they were beaten and overpowered by the devil.

 

Acts 19:14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.

 

Acts 19:15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?

 

Acts 19:16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.

 

POWER 2 - It boosts your esteem and shields you emotionally against emotional attacks.

 

 

Nehemiah 6:11 KJV

 

And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

 

POWER 3 - It builds your confidence when facing adversities, relating with others and carrying out your daily duties.

 

● Moses was asked who he was. He fled.

 

Exodus 2:13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Why smite you your fellow?

 

Exodus 2:14 And he said, Who made you a prince and a judge over us? intend you to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.

 

Later, when he knew who he was, he was bold, confident, could confront Pharaoh without being scared.

 

 

Hebrews 11:27 KJV

By faith Moses forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

 

POWER 4 - It makes you feel good  about yourself. It helps you have healthy relationship. It is a fundamental key to a successful / conquering / victorious /  life.

 

A life where you don't need to compete with anybody.

A life where you don't need to compare yourself with anybody.

A life where you are contended, complete, happy,...

 

Look at lions, they are unanimously identified with success, dominion, power, bravery, courage.

 

Bur there are animals bigger than lions in size. There are animals faster than lions. There are animals more handsome than lions. There are animals smarter than lions. There are animals taller than lions. There are animals heavier than lions.

 

But when lions roar, they all run away.

 

But why lions?

 

THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE. AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHO THEY ARE SHAPE THEIR ATTITUDE, THEIR BELIEFS, THEIR CHARACTER AND THEIR DOMINION

 

● For example, According to Proverbs 28:1, the Bible says ...

A wicked person flees when no one is chasing him, but righteous people are as bold as lions.

 

According to Proverbs 28:1, lions are bold.

 

● We read ...

 

Proverbs 28:1 KJV

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

 

● Bold means  that lions are confident, brave, relaxed, sure, assured.

 

● Lions are not hesitant, not doubtful, not hesitant, not confused, not fearful, not unsecure. They know who they are.

 

● Lions know what they carry. No one and nothing can come to their territory and do whatever they want.

 

● Lions are composed. Lions don't cry. Lions roar. Their roar is enough to make the enemies flee and run away.

 

● Reason 2 |

 

According to Proverbs 30:30, lions are strongest among beasts.

 

● We read ...

 

● Proverbs 30:30 KJV

 

A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;

 

● Lions are kings of animals. Lions are kings of jungle.

 

● Lions don't turn away before any. They run away from nothing. They don't back down from nothing.

 

● Lions are mighty. They are powerful. They are strong. They are warriors. They don't beg. They command.

 

THAT IS WHO YOU ARE

 

● If I ask you a question who are you? What would be your answer? What would you say?

 

● Take note... To experience the uncommon, one of the key is the awareness and consciousness of who you are.

 

● Let us look at Jesus Christ.

 

● The source behind his uncommon operation on the earth was the knowledge and the understanding of who he was.

 

● In  John. 8:23 for example, Jesus said to the Pharisees,

 

John 8:23 “Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world”.

 

● This statement shows in clear term that Jesus had a uncommon mentality which conferred to him a uncommon identity.

 

● He was conscious of His source. He knew where he was coming from. He knew where he belonged to. He knew where he was connected to. He knew that above is where he was coming from.

 

● And as a matter of fact ...  You know what?

 

John 3:30 says clearly, HE WHO IS FROM ABOVE ABOVE IS ABOVE ALL

 

● Jesus knew, was aware, was conscious that because he was from above, he was above all.

 

● He knew he was Above the storm. That's why he could sleep undisturbed.

 

● He knew he was above death. That's why he could face it.

 

● He knew he was above sicknesses, diseases, demons, that's why he could command them and they could obey him.

 

● The question I'm asking you today is ...

 

Do you know who you are in Christ?

 

● Like the sons of Sceva which I mentioned earlier, many believers today are molested and beaten up by the devil and his demons.

 

● Why? Because they don't know who they are and  they don't know who God is for them.

 

● You who are listening, reading, watching today, do you know who you are in Christ?

 

● Let me remind you ...

 

● In Christ, you are a born again child of God.

 

● In Christ, you are a new creature.

 

● In Christ, you are seated far above principalities, powers, authorities, you

 

● In Christ, you are forgiven, you are made righteous.

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT DOES IT THEREFORE MEAN UNCOMMON CHANGE OF NAME?

 

● STATEMENT 1- Uncommon Change of Name means removal of your name from the blacklist to the special-list

 

● Blacklist refers to a list of people or things that are regarded as unacceptable or untrustworthy and should be excluded or avoided.

 

● In John 5:2, we read, Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

 

● John 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of weak folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

 

● When God changes your name, your name will be deleted from the blacklist!

 

● A blacklist is a list of people, groups, or countries that are officially avoided, distrusted, shunned or excluded as being deemed as being unacceptable to those making the list.

 

 

 

● I declare and I decree over someone under the sound of my voice ... the name  of your families will be removed from the names of the sick, the lame and the withered.

 

● I declare and I decree you will no longer mentioned among the failure, among the borrowers, among the barren, among the poor, among the struggling, among the drunkards, among the rejected.

 

● I don't care in which blacklist your name has been put in any demonic or witchcraft coven, I invoke the power of the blood of Jesus Christ to erase it right now in the Mighty Name Of Jesus Christ!

 

● In Isaiah 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

 

● A wife is called after her husband's name. According to Scriptures, You are Christ's bride. By reason of the covenant of Christ the bridegroom, you are entitled to be called after his name.

 

● 1 John 4:17 says ... as he is, so are we in this world.

 

● Because Christ is fruitful. Your new name is fruitful, no more barren.

 

● Because Christ is unstoppable. Your new name is breakthrough, no more stagnation.

 

● Because Christ is blessed. Your new name is blessed, no more curse.

 

● STATEMENT 2 Change of name means relocation from where they used to see you but they will no longer find you there

 

● John 5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

 

● John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said to him, Will you be made whole?

 

● My friend, you have stayed in that place/position for long. Even God knows that you have been there for long.

 

● I have a good news for you. It is time for you. The time has come for you to get out of there in Jesus Name!

 

● This man stayed there for 38 years !!!!!!!!!!!

 

● I declare and I decree ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

 

● In Deuteronomy 1:6, God is telling you ... You have dwelled long enough in this mount: Deuteronomy 1:7 Break camp, and get ready! Go ...

 

● In the Gospel of John, Jesus sends a clear message to his enemies, telling them in John 7 verse 34 - " You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come"

 

● Let it be the same for you who are in Christ. All the demons and their agents called witches, wizards, etc will look for you or your children to harm you but they will not find you simply because where you are they cannot reach you.

● Where are you now?

 

1● In Christ, you are seated in heavenly places far above the devil and his agents. ( Ephesians 1:18/2:6)

 

2● In Christ, your name is written in the Lamb's book of life, No more in the book of death. No more in the book of misfortune. No more in the book of premature death. But the Book of Life.

 

● Revelation 21:27, the Bible says ... There shall in no wise enter into it anything that defiles, neither whatever works abomination, or makes a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

 

 

2● In Christ, your life is hidden, meaning, kept secret. Your life is a mystery.

 

● In Colossians 3:3, Paul says ... You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

 

● You know what? The Greek Word krupto means protected by a code. Meaning that access to your life is protected by a password known only by God. No witch, no wizard are permitted to have access to it.

 

 

 

 

● STATEMENT 3 Change of name means that God knows you. That is enough!

 

● Brothers and Sisters. People of God. Wapendwa katika Yesu Klisto. I hope I am not wrong [smile]. I have a good news for you this morning …

 

● Are you going through a time of sorrow in your life? Have you been crying out with anguish and grief? Are you in a situation where you feel under servitude? Do you feel like you are in a prison from which you can’t escape? Are you groaning under hard bondage as the children of Israel?

 

● The Good News is … God knows you.

 

- God knows you before even you were born

 

§ Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

- 

- God knows your name, your address both physical and virtual. He knows your Phone Number. He knows your E-mail address.

 

§ Acts 10:5-6 “And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: He lodges with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell you what you ought to do.

 

- God knows your affliction/pain/trouble/sleepless nights (in your marriage, with your children, with your colleagues, at your workplace, how you are mistreated, how you are humiliated, how you are belittled, etc).

- 

§ Exodus 3:7 [Israel in Egypt]... The LORD said to Moses concerning his people in Egypt, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people which [are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows".

 

§ Genesis 31:42 [Jacob at Laban’s workplace] Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely you had sent me away now empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.

 

God knows not only your case but also how long you have been in it.

 

§ John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said to him, Will you be made whole?

 

 

● Hear me and hear me well … People believe wrongly that when they submit an application, they need someone who knows them to follow it up for it to succeed. It is not true. It is a lie of the enemy. It is what opens a door to bribe and corruption.

 

● To you who have applied for a visa or for a job or for any official document, I declare over you in the Name Of the Lord, among the multitude who have applied, you will be located.

 

● You don’t need to know anybody anywhere. You don’t need to bribe. You don’t need to. God knows you. That is enough.

 

● I got the Work Permit From The Immigration Of This Country. I know nobody in the system. I just applied relying on God who knows me. Here I am. I got it.

 

● So far, we saw that

 

1- God wants to remove you from the blacklist

2- When God relocates you, people will no longer see you where they used to see you

3- You don’t need to be known to be located. God knows you.

4- God locates you through the power of remembrance

5- For you to be located and relocated, you must be delivered from the evil influence of the power of darkness upon your life.
