 We've been looking at different aspects of preaching and one of the things about the preacher, that is what we've been focusing on, we've been preaching the messenger, the who carries the message, and we've been looking at how should one prepare, now that I'm in this dispensation, New Testament church, so how should I prepare and how should I train myself in order to communicate the message. So we've been looking at several aspects, we looked at some of the practical things in the last session, and I've also been enjoying all the things that you've been posting in this dream about how the gospel reached and so let's keep that going, if you can share, if you can research about your place and share that will be great, so yeah. So we've been looking at that, so one of the things is for us as communicators, as when it comes to preaching, that we be able to receive, that we be able to hear, that we keep ourselves in that place where we can hear clearly the voice of the master, the voice of the shepherd. So I know that we, of course, we can get knowledge and understanding when we read through the written scriptures, when we go through the logos, but it's very critical, important for us to be able to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, to hear the, to receive the guidance, the leading, the prompting of God, and that is key to the ministry of preaching. That is very, very important, critical. So we will do that, we will do everything to keep that clear. And which means that, like, see, in the natural, like, we have, you know, several things that in prayer are hearing, right? We, maybe there's something physical that's in the air, that's that, you know, because of which we are unable to hear, you know, some earplug or, you know, or we are, we're listening to something so loud that we are unable to hear another person speaking. And so in similar ways, like, so also spiritually, when it comes to hearing the voice of the Spirit, voice of God, you know, we could be doing things, or maybe not doing certain things that, that hinder the voice of the Spirit that we are not able to receive, right? We could be living in sin, or living in open sin, or rebellion, or maybe there is, you know, the, the posture of our heart, you know, like saying, okay, I know everything, and probably we know a lot of things, and, you know, maybe not posturing ourselves to be, you know, to be humble before Him. And so, you know, when we reach a place of that kind of a thing, then we put a lid, right, to receive the things from God. So, so this morning, as we pray, you know, let's just pray and ask God to remove everything that is blocking, you know, anything that seems to hinder, and that, you know, I'm just reminded of this verse, right? Hebrews chapter 3, Hebrews 3, and, yeah, verse, verses 12, 13, you know, yeah, particularly verse 13, Hebrews 3, 13, by Exot, one another, daily, while it is called today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Okay, so sin is deceitful. It means it's price to cheat and deceive us, but it also, you know, makes us hardened, right? And when we are hard, we're not pliable, we're not tender to the things of God and to the voice of God. So let's, let's just pray and say, Lord, just recommit myself to hear you clearly. I just want to place a value on your voice, and I know that it is life itself, and I just want to esteem it higher than anything else. And if there's anything that I'm doing or not doing that is causing this, you know, this barrier, let it be taken off, right? So I just want you to just go ahead and pray, and maybe you can pray out and pray out in the spirit, pray out in tongues, because Scripture says that sometimes we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Holy Spirit makes intercession for us with, with groanings, right? So let's pray. Let's ask the Lord. So just ask Him to remove every stumbling block, remove every barrier that we might have placed, because He, His desire is to speak, right? And to speak to us, but sometimes we lock it. Thank you, Lord. I pray that there be a removal of things, Father God, things that are locking, things that are hindering, God, maybe some things that are causing us to hear partially, hear faintly. Lord, I pray, God, you want to hear the voice of the shepherd, God, in our spirit of Father God, you've created us to hear the voice of the shepherd. Lord, you created us to receive revelation in the inner man. You created us, Lord, in our spirit, Lord, to, to, to be sensitive to the promptings of the spirit, Lord, to see things visually, oh God, and to receive it, oh God, to receive interpretation, God, and to receive the mysteries of the kingdom, God, in our spirit, Lord. And so we just open up our lives, Lord, and we, and we just humble ourselves before you, my God, that you would speak, that we would listen, God. Speak to us as only you can. And I pray for removal of all barriers today. I just pray for a removal of the barrier of esteeming oneself lower and saying, I, everyone hears, everyone understands, but I'm not able to. I just pray for a removal of that mindset in the name of Jesus. Herere vesipa robosoka. Yes, Lord, you've called us, Lord, to hear us of your word and doers of your word. You've given us the privilege to hear the voice of the shepherd. My people, Lord, you said, my sheep, they know me, they hear my voice and obey me. And so, God, we thank you. We thank you for that. Herere vesipa robosoka. And maybe if you've done things willfully or maybe unknowingly, we can just say, Lord, I come back, I come back to you, and let there be a cleansing, Lord. I confess, let there be a cleansing so that I can and hear you. I can feel your heartbeat, God. The way you see things, I want to see it, Lord. Herere vesipa robosoka. Let your thoughts be my thoughts, O God. Herere vesipa robosoka. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Herere vesipa robosoka. Thank you for this privilege, God. Thank you for this privilege, Lord. You're calling us your co-workers, co-labourers, Father God. Thank you. Thank you for this privilege. Thank you for this awesome Lord responsibility that you entrusted each of us with, this stewardship that you've entrusted with, with. And thank you for all the resources, Lord, that you're bringing our way and committing, Lord, the riches of the kingdom, the riches of the knowledge of Christ, Lord. And we thank you that we carry this treasure in this world, earth and vessel of Father God, in this container. But we carry this, Lord, our heavenly treasure. We thank you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father God. Thank you for clarity. Thank you, Lord. I just pray and come in, Lord, I just pray and release Father God that each one of us of Father God, that there'll be a, yeah, a very multiplication of ways in which you speak, O Father, that we will just discern, Father God, and weigh it against your word, Father, the scriptures, Father, and we'll have the joy of walking in it, Father God. Thank you, Master. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. We give you all the praise at this time. We thank you for unstopping our years, God. And thank you for, Lord, I thank you that you will also warn us, even before we get into such an attitude or, you know, get into such an action, considering such things, God, that you will, Lord, you will warn us, God, and give us a check in our spirit, Lord. We thank you. We give you all the praise at this time. We give you all the glory. In Jesus' matchless name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Okay. So, so that's, amen. Praise God. So that's one of the things, right, that we are called to, you know, receive, hear, see, you know, in our spirit, right, just as the Father, as the Lord, He heard and saw and did and we are called to walk in His way. So, it's our privilege, it's our responsibility, but also that we will be watchful to, you know, to avoid things, to not to, you know, undertake anything that will, that will prevent that, right? Yeah. Okay. Right. So, let's look at where we, where we stop last class. No, we were looking at second Corinthians chapter three, right? We were looking at second Corinthians chapter three and where Paul writes about the New Covenant and how it's, how it's more glorious and how we are in those 12 verses. We see that he writes about the privilege that we have as New Testament ministers and what we have been interested, what we have been given and so on. So, let's just, you know, look at those verses again. So, second Corinthians three and verse, verse one, do we begin again to commend ourselves or do we need as some others epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? Verse two, you are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men. Okay. So, he's saying that through the Quentin Church, you know, if you look at the people, these are the people who were saying, I'm of Paul, I'm of Apollos, I'm of Cephas and there's a lot of division, you know, there's a lot of, you know, things even that, that they were against Paul, you know, they were doubting his apostleship and, you know, they were saying things like, you know, this man, his letters are weighty, but in his presence and speech, it's not very impressive. Okay. Page number, we're looking at page number 21 in our notes. Okay. Page 21. Right. So, okay. So, this is, you know, this is that, that's the kind of audience. Okay. And to them, he writes that you are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men. So, so the thing is that these, this bunch of people, these group of people, irrespective of what they said, they were in Paul's heart, right, which means he treasured them. He, he, he wanted them to know the gospel, of course, and that's why he spent time there about 18 months or so and share the gospel and planted the church and so on. But the fact is that the, the deeper things of the deeper truth of scripture, he taught them, taught them about the spirit, about the gifts of the spirit, about faith and, and also, you know, shared his, his life with them. So they were in his heart. And in other words, we say, we can say that the Lord had given him a burden for these people. So, so our people written in our hearts, that's some, that's a question, you know, or if we are called to, you know, in a formal manner, you know, share in a particular setting, you know, can we ask the Lord to write, you know, people in our hearts, you know, write this audience in our hearts. And in other words, saying, God, you know, what their needs are, and you know, what their concerns are, and I, and I just want to, you know, carry that burden, what the burden that you have, I want to carry it even as I convey this message, right? I just don't want to make it about me, or to, you know, show them that I know some things, but really, Lord, you know, put them in my heart, right? Verse three talks about how Paul says, you know, you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, but written with the ink of the Holy Spirit, you know, written not with ink, but by the spirit of the living God. So in other words, he's saying that, you know, God is the one who writes in your hearts, God is the one who does that deep work in your spirit, right? He acknowledged that he knew that he knew that about his own limitations that he was there as a minister, as a servant, as a, as a channel, as an instrument of God. But, you know, despite his preaching and demonstrating and administering, and so on, it was God who was writing, it was the Holy Spirit who was touching their hearts and writing upon their hearts. Right? So he acknowledged that and it's good that we acknowledge that as well as and, and at the same time being assured of it that, God, your writing, that you're doing it, it's not about, it's not about me, I will, you know, I will position myself to listen to you, I will prepare myself to prepare my heart to, to receive from you, to hear from you and also to, you know, do those things and then share it, right? And I'll do it in the best way possible, God. But I know that you are the one who writes, you're the one who does the work of transformation, you're the one who writes on people's hearts, right? To have that, that will keep us in a place of humility, that will keep us in a place of dependency on God, and, and, and also free us up. No unnecessary pressure on ourselves, right? This is a message, if he gives me, you know, I'm preparing, I'm sharing, and I'm praying, I'm waiting on him, I will go and share. I'll do it to the best of my ability. And in the season where I'm in the maturity that I'm in, I'm not trying to overreach or, you know, I'm doing it, right? The way he has, what he has given me and where he has placed me, I'm doing it, right? Verses four and five. Okay, and we have such trust through Christ toward God, not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. So our sufficiency, meaning our capabilities, whatever we, we need, it comes from God. He makes us, he's the one who makes us sufficient, our sufficiency is from him, the, the ability, the willingness and everything comes from him, the resources, the empowerment, everything comes from him. So he says, our sufficiency is from God. Again, acknowledging that keeps us humble, acknowledging that keeps us dependent on him. And it's, you realize that in the bigger scheme of things that it is God who does it, right? It's, it's always been about him. But sometimes what happens is that it can be so subtle that, you know, we, we sometimes might think, Oh, maybe, you know, I'm being used by God. And it's a subtle thing, right? To say, I'm being used by God. And, or to say, look at me, how wonderfully I'm used by God, you know, the focus shifts, right? It's a very subtle, it's a very thin line. Right? So, you know, as a person who's communicating the truth, to say that God, my sufficiency, my ability comes from you, right? I know, I acknowledge, you know, like what we've been studying on Sundays, right, acknowledging every good thing that that's from him, who we have, who we are made and what we have become in Christ. That's, that's a very important thing to acknowledge, right? And not be in a place of false humility, right? To acknowledge the good things that we have received in Christ. And Philemon verse six, that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgement of every good thing, which is in you in Christ Jesus. So we're not debasing ourselves. We are a true humility is looking at ourselves the way God looks at us. True humility is not saying, when God says, you know, you are seated with me in the heavenly places, true humility is not saying, Lord, I'm a worm, I'm just groveling in the dirt. That's not true humility. Humility is agreeing with God. True humility is saying, Yes, Lord, this is what you have made me. And it's not arrogance, right? It's not presumption, but really us being in a place of humility. Right? So acknowledging every good thing. And and and saying, God, my sufficiency is you. You're the one who, Charles, you have something to say. Yeah, I'm just asking about that point of humility and the our sufficiency from God as in a chapter five of verse five on the inquiring about even in first John, where John says, the Bible says that as he is so we are and the now we connect, we see that our sufficiency is not from ourselves, it is from God. But as he is so we are so now that he is so so now that he's a spirit, are we now that we are seated in the heaven, the presence with him and so he so he is so we are now how do we correlate the three now? Are we are we really spirits? Are we are we not able to see in things like that? Just some light. Thank you. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, the spiritual reality is that, you know, as he is in the sense that, you know, we are born again, we are connected to him, we are one spirit with him, we are seated within that's the spiritual reality. But we do have this flesh, and we do walk and interact and, you know, deal with things on the earth. And we do have to deal with the flesh, right? But the reality, spiritual reality is that, you know, we are connected with him, we are one spirit with him. So the life of God flows in us, right? We have the wisdom, we have access to the wisdom of God, we have access to the, I mean, we have the Holy Spirit power, the same power that brought up Christ from the dead, the Holy Spirit power works in us. So these are all wonderful realities and things that have to do with our identity and even, you know, what we possess, right? So we acknowledge that. Okay, so true humility is acknowledging that and walking in that and not coming to a place of arrogance. So arrogance happens when we either look down, you know, when we compare ourselves to others when we look down on others, because maybe they don't have this understanding, or, you know, we, we look at ourselves in isolation and not as being connected with the Lord, right? It is because of him. So our sufficiency, you know, when you look at our sufficiency is from him, it's flowing from him. You know, this is what he has made us to be, and it's not not in any way contradict the fact that we need him. Our sufficiency is from him, he makes us sufficient as we get the reema from him, we see him do things in scenarios and then we do it, right? So it doesn't contradict in any way. These two, these aspects of the truth, what he has made us to be, we have become and we are dependent on him. I hope that helps, Charles. If it does, thank you so much, Pascal. Yeah. Okay, so, so, yeah, so, everything, everything comes from him, right? And then, so verse six, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the spirit for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. Okay, so this Holy Spirit, life giving spirit, he has made us ministers of this new covenant. Okay, so we go with this message. And we go with, we speak life, the life of God, we bring the life of God into scenarios, we bring the hope of God into, you know, lifeless situations, hopeless situations, both with the words, the message and with the demonstration, with the power of the Holy Spirit. So we become ministers of the spirit of God, the life giving spirit of God. Right? So, so, when we look at those words, we see that, yes, we, we walk in demonstration, right, demonstration of, of the word, we walk in demonstration, meaning that we invite people to have an encounter with the power of God, we have an encounter with the character of God, have an encounter with the power of God. So that's a New Testament minister. So we don't limit ourselves to just, you know, share a few, share a truth, but we, we invite people to go beyond that, even expand that and say, I want you to experience the power of God. I want you to experience the love of God. I want you to experience, you know, who he is, go ahead, call on his name, invite him into that particular need that you might have, experience the power of God. Right? So we are ministers of the life giving spirit. Okay. Verses seven and 11, talk about how the ministry is more glorious than what we have seen in the New, in the old covenant. We see that. And the example he gives is verse 11. Moses who put a veil, you know, he had an encounter with God, he put a veil because that glory was fading away. Of course, people couldn't, people saw that it was bright and shining this face, but he put a veil because it was also a glory that was fading. Whereas now we see that it is much more glorious. It is much, you know, what is passing away was glorious, verse 11, what remains is much more glorious in several ways, like it is much more glorious. So understand that it is, it is okay to be wowed by what we see, whatever we have seen God do right through scripture in the Old Testament through the Old Testament saints. But here we see that it is much more glorious. We are living in a new dispensation and time. So to expect God to move in amazing ways, like to, so that is, that is something to reveal who he is. And to really open up people's lives to encounter this greater manifestation of God of his power of his love of the gifts of the more of the spirit and so on. Right. So we are living in such times. And verse 12 says, therefore, since we have such hope, use great boldness of speech. Okay, so we minister this boldness and courage, because we have so much hope, we are brimming with hope, we are all flowing with hope. You know, because we worship this God is a God of all hope. And, and this is who he has made us to be. And this is what we are. And what we have called to do. Therefore, you know, we use great boldness of speech. Okay, so that's what Paul writes in this. And it's, it's good for us to internalize this. And, and, and walk in it, really, come to that place of walking in it. And because what happens is when we, when we internalize this truth, and we say, Okay, every time you see the gospel, and you see the Lord do things, amazing things. And when we put ourselves in that place, you know, we begin to put ourselves in that place and say, God, you know, you did it. And you're, you've, you've given me your Holy Spirit. And, and you're, you're saying that, you know, I can do those things, right? Not for my glory, not so that I can, you know, you know, draw my identity, identity from it. But, but really, so that your kingdom advances, and your, you know, your works, advance, and the works of the enemy are dismantled in people's lives and so on, you rule and think, right? So, so we, we begin to think in that manner. If you're not, you know, thinking already, we begin to, you know, we begin to walk into situations, not overwhelmed or intimidated. We, we look at needs, and we're not overwhelmed or intimidated. And even in, you know, in the, in the most dire of circumstances and in people's lives, in messed up people's when we see that glimmer of hope, because this is what God can do if only that person will open the door, right? So, so we begin to, you know, we begin to press forward. And we, we say, okay, this is what God can do. And so that changes the way we, we minister, right, changes the way we, we face these circumstances, we walk into environments, it changes the way we do things. Right. So as a New Testament minister, right, this is what God has made us, this is who we are. And, and this is what we can do. Okay. Okay. One more scripture, one Corinthians 14 and verse six. So one contains 14 and verse six talks about the different objectives of, of sharing the word or, you know, communicating the truth. One contains 14 and verse six. But it's actually in the context of, of course, we've studied this before. It's in the context of a person praying in tongues, and he's talking about, you know, praying in tongues or speaking in tongue, giving a message in tongues in public. Okay. So he's, he's actually talking about is, is comparing, you know, if I give a message in tongues, and there's no interpretation, then it's not really helping the audience, right? He's so he's sharing about that. But as he shares about that, he's, you know, expounding a truth about coming and sharing a message, and the aspects of different aspects of it. Okay. It could be to do this. It could be to do this. It could be to do this. So, so let's read that. But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you? Okay. So he's saying, okay, unless I bring a message, and I speak to you, and he writes about four things. So first one is revelation. Okay. Unless I speak to you either by revelation. So revelation, we know is unveiling or disclosing or uncovering things that are hidden, things that are hidden. So first of all, I get the revelation. And, and then I share that revelation. Hey, did you know, have you, have you seen this? You know, this is what is, this is what is there in scripture. This is the promise of this is the treasure. Have you seen this? Have you considered this? Okay. For me, I, I, you know, recall this whole revelation of Sozo, you know, the word that we studied right? Sozo salvation. Now that was a revelation. For me, for a long time, salvation was the ticket to heaven. It was something, yeah, I'm born again, I'm enjoying, I'm having all this peace and joy, but it is for, you know, for something in the future. Okay. So forgiveness was the big aspect of it. For me, 100% it was, it was just forgiveness. That was it. And it's, it is, it is a big part of it. But the other things, the other aspects of deliverance, healing, and, and prosperity and peace and all that, it was not something that I had considered. I'm not even considered so, so revelation. So when someone shared that, and studied that it was like, so excited, I couldn't sleep that night. Wow, there's so much, I'm born again, you know, I began to look at born again as, and being born again as something, something so exciting, I'd never seen it that way. Right. So it became like, wow, what a great deal. I'm a believer. All these words came back to life with new meaning. I'm a believer. I'm born again. I'm a disciple of the Lord. And, you know, these are things that the Lord accomplished on the cross. And these are things that is bringing into my life. Right. And, and this is why it's the good news. So it's just changed, completely changed. The way I looked at the cross, the way I looked at being born again, the way I looked at salvation, right. So revelation, now that is what revelation does. Revelation brings conviction. And conviction changes our daily action. And therefore, changes our lifestyle, our destiny. Right. So that's what revelation does. So, so Paul is saying, you know, how will it, you know, if I just spoke in tongues, if I give a given message in tongues, well, how will it profit you? How will it benefit you? So, which means when I come with the revelation, it is benefit. It is something that is beneficial. Something that is changing, something that is convicting, something that is, you know, reordering my life, so that my action changes and my lifestyle changes, my speech changes, everything, my perspective changes and my destiny changes. Right. So he's saying, this is by revelation. So that's the first. So when we communicate, we can bring the revelation. Okay, you're not trying to manufacture something that really what, what God speaks to us. It's, it's, you know, something, something that is very, very simple, can be life changing. I remember reading about this person, I think, Talbrook, I think, I'm not, I might be getting the wrong, I might be getting the name wrong. Talbrook, who wrote about, you know, he was a person who was into new age, who came to India, who met with all the, you know, some of the Saibaba was alive then, you know, the Puttapati Saibaba, he spent time in this commune. He was, he also spent time with Rajneesh, I think was alive then in Pune. So he spent time with all these you know, it was new age and, you know, so called gurus and, and well, he experienced the power of that, you know, like astral projection, and transcendental meditation, and, and all those psychedelic colors and music and everything he experienced that and became a teacher, right? He used to travel and a sort of the person, teacher, board in the US and elsewhere in the, you know, teaching people about meditation and, you know, impartation of, of the powers of that and so on. So he was that part, you know, he heard the simple message of the gospel while going in a car, traveling in a car and listening to the message on a radio, car radio, I just tuned into a station and heard the gospel. I don't know whether he heard it before, but then he heard it. And he was just struck by the simplicity of it. That, you know, because he was used to all these complex things, right? All these complex mysteries and everything that, that comes as shrouded as knowledge, he was used to all these things that he heard the simplicity of the gospel. And that was a, that was an eye opener. It was a revelation. And his life changed. He just dropped it. He just dropped everything and became a minister of the gospel. And he writes that book exposing, you know, all the, like the so-called God men and women. And he writes about the power, the power of darkness energizing the demons, powers energizing some of the experiences and all that teachings and so on. So, so he writes about that. So, but the thing is that, you know, he accepted the Lord and it was simple and it was revelatory. So the thing is a revelation, when we bring a revelation, it need not be something major, something very complex, something connecting that it need not be, but can be something very simple, right? But it's life changing. It's something that has been hidden, that's revealed, that makes a big difference. Okay, so it's beneficial, it's profitable when we share a revelation, right? And it can be, and it is the things that God has taught you, he has showed, he has shown you. And so it makes sense to, you know, make a note of that and not let go of that, right? You look back in your life, what are the things that God taught me and how did he teach me, you know, how did he, you know, for some it could be, you know, it could be in different ways, like, you know, science made sense, and this is what it is, and you go deeper into it, and you know, at all, you're able to convey that, you know, this is what it is. And so on. So revelation, right, life changing, and we share that. Okay, so the second thing we see is knowledge. Okay, so he says, he professed, sorry, yeah, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge. Okay, so the Greek word uses Gnosis, starting with the G, G-N-O-S-I, Gnosis meaning it's information, but it's, it's spiritual information. Okay, spiritual information, and it's knowledge that the Holy Spirit brings to you, and it's knowledge that you, you know, you read through, and the Holy Spirit highlights it, and you, and you receive it, and then it is, it is information, right, it is knowledge, it is information. And it's, it's something that's constructive that brings benefit to you. So it's something that switches on the light, right? It, hey, I didn't know that I was ignorant. And now this knowledge has brought light. This scripture is talks about, I forget the reference, the entrance of your word brings light. Okay, so that's what God's word does. The entrance of his word brings light. Enlightenment comes from the word of God, the knowledge of his word. And Paul writes about how we are called to increase in the knowledge, increase in the grace, increase in the knowledge of, of the Lord, of the word of God. So we, we bring revelation, we bring knowledge in our, in our speaking, in our preaching. The third one he says is prophesying. Okay, prophesying. So inspired speaking, or forth telling, profiteer, right, means that you speak forth, inspired by the Holy Spirit, inspired speaking, you're speaking forth, the words of God. Also, we know, you know, we've studied in one context, 14, again, that he who prophesies brings edification, exhortation and comfort. Psalm 119, 130. Thank you. The entrance of your word brings light. Thanks, Sam. Wonderful scripture, isn't it? It's like, it's like a torch light. It's like, you know, I know we've been in places where it's so dark, and it brings light. There's such a relief when there's light. And what have God does that? Okay, dispels darkness. And we are coming back to prophecy. So one Corinthians 14 talks about how it brings edification, exhortation and comfort, edification, exhortation and comfort. So speaking a inspired word, a word that's inspired by the Holy Spirit, right, so you hear the importance of hearing the importance of receiving in our spirit, spirit sense, right, like we how we studied, natural sense, physical sense and we and God has given us that spirit sense to receive revelation. Paul says, when the Son chose to and God chose to reveal his son in me, right, he's talking about in the inner man, but there's a revelation that's received, right. So we receive and we speak forth or prophecy, you know, can be an act also, it can be a prophetic act. So we either speak forth, we either pray forth, you know, sing forth. But here, of course, we are talking about speaking forth, inspired speaking. So that brings benefit like edification, the person is spiritually built up edification, exhortation, they are encouraged, they encouraged, you know, nothing else. The encouragement is, you know, the encouragement is sometimes, you know, like, it seems unreasonable. It's like, you know, the situation has not changed. But I'm encouraged. Here comes the word. It's not like I'm not, you know, heard that before. But, you know, here comes this prophetic, timely word. And I'm encouraged, I'm exalted, I'm encouraged. You know, I'm liberated. Now, I'm singing. Right. Everything is changed. The situation is the same challenge seems to be the same, but I'm exalted. I'm encouraged. Okay, so exhortation, edification, and comfort. Okay, that's the other thing that the comfort of the Holy Spirit, the comfort that the Holy Spirit brings through his words, you know, especially sometimes when like people are grieving, like people have lost their loved ones, and they are grieving in a season of bereavement. Of course, we can we can ask God to be there and be there as the comforter. Because human reasoning, human words doesn't seem to cut it, you know, doesn't seem to make sense to the person who's experiencing that intense grief. And it's the comfort of the Holy Spirit. And a prophetic word does that it brings profit to the to the hearer comfort, despite intense grief, despite the season of bereavement. And, you know, I, you know, right beginning of the year, my father passed away, you know, January 3, he passed away. And so, so when, but the Lord, you know, kind of comforted me and strengthened me to be of comfort, to be of strength to the rest of the family, and so on. But I knew that my mother, like I've never seen my mother and father apart, you know, in the sense of very few times, I can just count it on one hand, you know, maybe half a half the fingers. They've been apart, they were always together, both of them were doctors, both of them served together. My mom was a gynecologist, dad, an orthopedic surgeon who took care of the, you know, administrative side of things and the hospital. So all of them together in the kitchen, you know, my dad will be maybe probably cutting some vegetables, mom will be cooking or he'll be cooking something he'll be washing, drying stuff. So, you know, always a lot of chatter, arguments, but, you know, together, any public event, they'll go together any so I knew that, like, it was going to be difficult for my mom to receive, you know, comfort, no matter what you people would say, no matter even my presence, you know, so, so I was just praying, God, you comfort her, Lord, I know the comfort that you bring will be will be strong, will be powerful. So she was completely broken. The first few, you know, I used to go from here, almost every time I had a day off, I just drive down six hours away, six, seven hours away, just go spend time, just be there, just listen and come. So one such visit, she was different, she looked different, and I was glad. So she said she had a dream. You know, she had a dream. And in that dream, she saw, I mean, it was a particular scenario, like a lot of people dying and are, you know, suffering and so on. And at the end of it, she heard, you know, God, the Lord, she has these dreams. So it was the way that God would speak. So she was, and God spoke something to her, and comforted her and said, you know, I did not want your husband to go through this. And I know that he was suffering. So she was completely, completely, you know, relieved. It's not that the pain was not there. She definitely missed him, you know, but the intensity of it, the way it was when I had seen that seemed to be not there. Right. And I was glad. I was so glad. You know, so God comforted, it was a, it was a dream. So, you know, I'm just saying that it, you know, when it's a, when we say it's a prophetic dream, you know, like God, God giving something to bring forth edification, exaltation and comfort, a prophetic dream, comforting her. A prophetic dream can be foretelling, of course, you know, something about the future. This is what I will do. Like the Pharaoh and Joseph interpreted that and, you know, it can be that also. But the thing this dream, I call it prophetic because it, it, it brought the fruit of prophecy, edification, exaltation, comfort, the last part of it. So amazing comfort, no human words, no reasoning could have done, but comfort. So when we speak, the reason I'm saying is, you know, there's great benefit when we as, as a mouthpiece of God, as spokesperson of God, we, you know, we bring forth the comfort of God in words that he gives us, or things that he strives to us, we convey that. And there's great comfort. The Lord does that, the Spirit of God does that. He's the one who writes like we saw earlier, second Corinthians three, but that is brought in, right? And lastly, I'm sorry, just we are teaching, right? Expounding, explaining, educating, like teaching, grounding, complex things made simple, you know, like how we've been, we've been studying about the ministry of the pastor evangelist, evangelist pastor teacher. That's the ministry. He's the teacher, the Holy Spirit is the teacher. And he gives us, and when we bring that, like line upon line, of course, there's great help, you know, there's great benefit in inspiration, motivation, in preaching, right? And also there's great benefit in when we teach. It's line upon line. It's like, certain things being unlocked, certain locks being removed. And it's like, you know, I see it, you know, certain puzzles, pieces is coming in place. You have a jigsaw puzzle, and if you worked on it, you know, there's great, you look at the final thing, oh, wow, it's nice, great contentment. And the picture is formed, you see the full picture. That's what teaching does. That's what teaching does, around the teaching does that line upon line, preset upon preset. Now you know the workings of it. It's not just hey, I need to live by faith and but you know what, you know, what brings faith, and you know what takes away faith, and you know how to live in faith, you know, from A to Z, right, from the beginning to the end. So and everything in between, right? So that's what teaching does. So when we as communicators, when we bring in this, there's great benefit to the here. So that's what Paul is, you know, teaching in one code is 14 six. Okay, I think that's all we have time for. So thank you guys have a great weekend. God bless you. And we'll meet again next week. Okay, God bless. Bye bye.
