Not only a plan of action, but actual action. Because I've pitched on plans of action and I won't ask how many of you have made those plans yet. Today we're going to talk about, we're talking, today we're going to speak about how to get from where you are to where you want to be.

And that's really what we want to know, isn't it? So I'm going to give you the short, the shorter route, which may still take an hour, I don't know, but I'm going to give you the shorter route. How to get from where you are to where you want to be. I got four scriptures to read today, let's go through them quickly.

Mark chapter 11 verse 23 says this, in the GBM version, will sound a bit different to what you've ever heard these verses, but these are accurate. Let me tell you something, any person who says to this mountain, be removed and be thrown into the sea and does not waver in doubt in his heart, but is fully persuaded that those things that he is saying are happening for him, he will have whatever he says. Because of this, I'm telling you, no matter what you are asking for yourself, while you are praying, commit yourself to taking it and it will happen.

Matthew chapter 18 and verse 18 says, truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be considered as being already bound in heaven. And whatever you loose on earth will be considered as being already loosed in heaven. Last Luke chapter 10 verse 19, I'm giving to you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and also authority over all the dynamic ability of the enemy and nothing will ever hurt you.

Title of my message today is creating the life you desire. We started it out a good few weeks back by asking you the question, are you happy? And what will it take to make you happy right now? And the purpose of that was to help you to try to identify what your true inner core desires really are. Then we looked at how you could make plans.

We're entering into those three things that lie at the core of all our desires, health, wealth and good relationships. These things are at the heart of what life is all about. We then looked at how you could take those plans and start up with action to them.

Last week we looked, or mid week before last, our last message, we looked at how to develop grace to create good relationships. I think it's time now for us to create. We've been learning how to do this.

Now it's time we start doing it. Now before we start, we need to go through a final checklist here. Make sure that we've got everything we need because we don't want to go off half-cocked.

We don't want to miss the target. We want to make sure that when we begin this action, it's going to follow through and it's going to succeed. So firstly, do you want to change? Do you want to change? You know, most of us, we want to change our circumstances, but we want to be the same old person in new circumstances.

Well, I would like to have more money, but as long as I can just carry on working the way I am and doing the way I'm doing right now, the money must just fall on me. It must just come in. You know, I would like to have better health, but I'm not going to deal with how I handle my body.

I want to just carry on eating what I eat, doing the amount of zero exercise that I do, being a couch potato, sit in front of the computer all day. But somehow, miraculously, God is now going to create the health. You see, every one of these things is going to cost us.

Well, I like new relationships. So I will just stay at home until somebody knocks at the door and says, hi. It's going to take a lot of faith to do that, let me tell you.

I was just walking by and I heard this voice saying, there's a beautiful woman in that home. Go knock on the door and meet her. If it was so easy, hey.

You're going to have to get out of your complacency. You're going to have to get out of your ruts, because you have what you have right now, because you are what you are right now. And if you want things to change, you are going to have to change.

So before you open your big mouth and say, yeah, I'm going to get these new things, are you prepared to change? Are you prepared to shake out of your complacency and say, okay, so I'm old. Does that mean I need to act like a pensioner now? I was shocked recently to see some faces of men that I knew that are only a year or two older than me. And I hadn't seen them for many years.

One guy preaches like this, really holding on to the prophets. And he's a big name, one of the fittest, healthiest men. He's a bodybuilder.

He's a decrepit old man. Don't ever, ever think that you're too old to enter into all that the Lord has for you. You know, old Caleb, he was 40 when they first went in.

He waited another 40 years and then at the age of 80, they finally went in to conquer. And even after they'd conquered, it was all over and he was really old. He said, just give me that land.

I'm going to go take it. I'm just as ready now as what I was 40, 50, 80 years ago. I'm too young.

Young for what? Everybody looked down on me. I want to make a great big impact on this world. Now I'm only 22 years old.

Jesus was only 30. And he conquered everything. It'll change your thinking.

And you know, sometimes before you even start, you're going to need some divine discontentment. You're going to have to get fed up with the way things are. You're going to say, I'm sick of living the way I am.

I'm sick of the way it's been for the last 20, 30 years. I've had enough. Enough.

Well, if you haven't got to that place yet, I must warn you at the moment you begin to exercise some of these principles I've been teaching you, God's going to bring them to you. Well, I put out my faith and I began to trust and my whole world fell apart. First sign your prayers got answered.

I prayed for more money and things got worse. I prayed for healing and I got sicker. Hallelujah.

What a good sign. Divine discontentment. Somebody shake you up and say, I'm going to do something about this now.

I'm tired of waiting. I'm tired of talking. It's time for action.

You need a fresh hope. Maybe many years ago you had hope and you tried and you failed and you tried and you failed. You need a fresh hope before you're going to get going.

You need determination. You need to make up your mind and say, I'm going to push through no matter what it comes against me. You need motivation and you can get motivated by listening to somebody preach and I hope I'm motivating you, but your motivation must come from a deeper source and that must come from within.

I have an entire series called keys to self-motivation. If you need motivation, go get it. We'll motivate you.

You got to draw from your own resources. Don't rely on somebody else. So let's get out of complacency.

Let's get out of our rut. Let's get discontented enough to say, I'm out of here now. I've had enough of this.

Then before you open your big mouth and get going, you better know who you are and you better know the authority that you have in Christ, because if you don't know this, the first step you take, Satan is going to just come and go. You're gone. You'll fall at the first attack.

You need to know your authority firstly over the realm of darkness. Luke 10 19. We read it.

Giving you authority. I'm giving you power to tread on serpents and scorpions. I'm giving you authority over all the power, the dynamic ability that the enemy has.

Oh, Satan seems so strong. Oh, he's really attacked me. Yeah, he's quite powerful.

And if you want to try and fight him in your own strengths, I've got bad news for you. You're going to lose. So we don't fight him with our power.

Fight him with our authority. God says, I've given you greater authority than his power. Oh, what's authority? Authority is the right to command.

When you're in authority, you don't have to get there and do all the work you tell somebody else to do. You give orders and those orders. Oh, there are many hours and abilities available to us that are far greater than Satan.

We don't need to use our own. We just need to use the authority that we have to release those powers against the enemy. We'll overcome.

We'll trample that serpent instead of running in fear. We'll crush the head. We'll crush that scorpion instead of being terrified of it attacking me and hurting me.

You have authority over the creation. Jesus said, you see that mountain? If you believe, if you have faith, you can speak to that mountain and say, be moved and be cast into the sea. And that's exactly what's going to happen.

What's the last time you moved a little pebble? That's authority, folks. All it required was faith. See, that's where the power comes from.

You can speak to your circumstances. They can change. You can speak to the world around about you.

You can speak to the weather and it will change for you if you believe. I've seen it happen many times. But you know, if you don't practice that authority, you're going to stand there with all the authority in the world.

Nothing's going to happen. I'll look at that shortly. You have authority over your own life.

You have authority over your body. What's the last time you talked to your body? You know what we usually say to our body? You useless, ugly thing. I wish I had another one.

I wish I had a good body like that other person. I'm so fed up with this old body of mine. Man, I'm so sick of being in this body.

Oh, I hate my body. Without your body, you wouldn't be here. Do you know that your body is the greatest gift that God gave you? That body that you're living in gives you the right to be in this world, gives you an ability to see and to touch, to smell, and to taste, and to do things.

Without that body, you would be hopeless, useless. No good to man or beast. When was the last time you showed some appreciation for that body? Instead of looking in the mirror and saying, oh, what an ugly body.

I hate this body. The last time you talked to your body and said, hey, thanks for the good job you did. Thanks, eyes.

I know I've had to give you a bit of help, but you're still doing your job good. Hey, without you, what would I do? What would I do? Without the ability to heal. You know, if I didn't have taste, I couldn't enjoy those lovely minutes.

Instead of sitting down thinking, I need to diet, I need to stop eating, because my body's just going to get fat, rest your body and say, thank you, body. Thank you for what you do for me. Thank you that I don't even need to think about what you're going to do with this food, because you know what I do with it.

You're going to take it, you're going to digest it, you're going to convert it into energy, and you're going to give me ability to do things in this world. You know, it's time you start to bless your body. It's time you start to thank the Lord for your body.

I'm not saying you just have to accept it the way it is. You know, if you accepted your body the way it is, you'd be walking around naked the way you want. So, you know, we don't do that.

We add things to it. We make it look better. We dress it up.

And some of us, we need to use different colors to make us look better. Sometimes makeup, that's the world of good. Amazing.

Amazing what it can do. You know, God's given you ladies lovely hair as a beauty. Use it.

Yeah, I know sometimes it doesn't grow so well, you need wigs. It doesn't matter. Do something.

Thank you, Lord, for this body. I'm going to do the best that I can. Talk to your body.

Talk soothing, comforting words. Compliment your body and say, hey, buddy, you did a pretty good job there. Thanks.

I appreciate it. Come on. Last thing, you talk nice to your body.

Your body is the most valuable asset you have. Don't ever look down on it. Because when you lose it, you're gone.

People out there that have lost some of their senses, they can't see, they can't hear, can't speak. Take these for granted. Don't take it for granted.

Speak to your body. Yes, you can command your body, but you know what? None of us like being told what to do, do we? Come on. Do this now.

I don't feel like it. And especially when you tell me, I don't want to do it. And sometimes your body's that way too, and it's pretty stubborn.

You know, speak gently to your body. Encourage your body. Thank your body.

Say, hey, buddy, you're doing such a great job. Now, I know you can get rid of this fat. I know you know how to do it.

And I don't know how to do it, but I trust you. I'm trusting you, and I know you're going to do a good job, and I'm relying on you. I have faith in you, buddy.

You're going to do this, because that's what you were designed to do. You were designed to keep me healthy. That kind of changes your whole perspective of it, doesn't it? You know, when you speak to your body in faith, hope, and love, you release the power of God into it, and you create something new.

We'll be looking more at that shortly. You have authority over your own soul. When's the last time you talked to yourself? Oh, yeah.

When's the last time you encouraged yourself? You know, David did that. The next time you feel down, go and stand in front of the mirror and look at yourself and say, hey, you, you are blessed. You know what? I have the greatest confidence in you.

You're going to do great. You're going to rise up. You're going to succeed in this world.

You're going to do awesome things, because you were created to rule and reign. Keep doing it until you believe it, instead of listening to all the other words out there that are putting you down. Motivate yourself.

Develop confidence in yourself. You know what? I can't bear preachers who are always speaking about pride. Most of them are the most prideful people you have.

They preach on pride, make everybody in the congregation feel like worms, so they can get away with it. You know, most of us don't have a problem with pride. We really don't.

We have a problem with being too self-oriented at times, and yes, if we want to call it pride, but you know, while we're majoring on the pride and all the negatives, we never amount to anything. You know, in the early years, when God called me and I really wanted to work for God, I so felt I needed to be right with God. I felt I wasn't humble enough.

I felt I wasn't spiritual enough, and who was I to think that God could use me? That was just pride, brother. That was just pride. Why exalt yourself? There's a big difference between self-confidence and pride.

Very big difference. See, God has made you to be the highest creation in this world. When you stand up and acknowledge that and acknowledge and give him the honor for it, you can be as bold as a lion.

You can be as confident in yourself as God made you to be without having to be caught up in pride. Most people who have a problem with pride are people who actually don't have a good view of themselves. They see themselves as too small, too weak, too useless.

These are the people who suffer the most from pride because they're so busy thinking about themselves all the time and trying to bring themselves out of that insecurity and inferiority that they are totally self-oriented. A person who stands up boldly and confident says, I'm not worried about me anymore. I know who I am.

Do you know what? I am the greatest creation in this world. Look at me. Paul said it, follow me as I follow Christ.

And Peter stood at the man, the beautiful gate. He said, look at us. Look at us.

We got something to give you. We know who we are. Stop wallowing in self-pity and call that humility because it's not.

Speak to yourself. Say, hey you, you are destined to succeed. You are destined to conquer.

You are a king. You should be reigning. Stop groveling and acting like a peasant.

Talk to yourself. Motivate yourself. Encourage yourself.

Begin to change the way you behave and who you are. And then you need to tap into the inner anointing because you have dwelling within you, the one who created the worlds. You have the Holy Spirit living inside of you.

If your theology makes you think that every time your sin is leaving, you need a bit of revised theology because he said, I will never leave you or forsake you. He's not concerned about your sin. He already paid for it in Calvary.

He's paid for the sins you're going to commit tomorrow and next year and the rest of your life. They're done. They're paid for.

They're gone. They have no concern to him. So why should they be a concern to you? Holy Spirit is there forever.

You invited Jesus into your heart. He came to stay and to stay. All you need to do to encourage him and to release him to work in your life is to make a choice.

Bible calls that walking in the spirit. You make a choice. It's not a feeling.

It's a choice. Oh Jesus, I submit myself to you afresh. Holy Spirit, take control.

I give everything to you. As you submit to the spirit within, you step into the spirit and now you are able to tap into everything. We've learned this in all the way of blessing principles that God has put into our everything we'll ever need.

God like an underground stream there that's flowing continuously. All you need to do is to stop, sink down that pipe and start pumping water because it's gushing, gushing. Jesus said, you believes on me rivers of loving water will gush out of me.

A river of eternal life within that you can tap into. Well, how do we pump it out? Well, firstly, sink it in, submit and then start using your mouth because that's where the bucket is. That's where the pump is.

What can we do with our mouth? You could start speaking in tongues. As you do that, you pump in water. Well, you know what, you got this big reservoir up there.

It may be empty. You may have to pump for a while before it gets full. If you learn to pump every day, you may keep it full and you've got a reserve supply all the time.

If you haven't done this for a long time, you're probably going to be pumping for a few hours before you have any significant amount of water there. So pump as long as it takes. Speaking in tongues for an hour is hard work.

It's worse than running a marathon if you've ever done it before. All right. Start small.

Five, ten minutes a day while you're driving in your car. Start speaking in tongues. Start pumping that water out.

Start tapping into that internal anointing. Confess the scriptures. Memorize a few good scriptures.

Good scripture promises and speak them over and over again. I just got a few favorites. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire and it will be done for you.

Daughter of Tyre will be there with a gift. Rich among the people will entreat your favor. I just quote these scriptures over and over again and the water starts to gush out.

In fact, the more scripture you put in there, the wider the pipe gets. You just start tapping into that internal anointing. Maybe you just need to start praising.

Hallelujah. Praise you, Lord. Hallelujah.

Sing a little bit. Singing is a great pump. We did it this morning, man.

We pumped a lot of water here. You tapped into that internal anointing. Now get ready to release the creative power.

Charge it up. Charge it up and wait until it's built up. Wait until that tank is pretty full before you open the tap.

When the time is right, now is the time to release it. And you need to understand your creative power because you don't understand this and you don't believe it. You're going to be waiting a long time for God to do something.

Scripture says, whatever you provide on earth has already been bound in heaven. And until you do it, it's having no effect in your life whatsoever. The authority lies in your hands.

God has given you that authority and authority has to be used. How did God do it? The original creation, the scripture says, and God said, let there be light and there was light. And God said, let this form and it was formed.

And God said, let this be and it was. And every time God spoke, scripture says, the Holy Spirit was brooding over the creation. And every time God spoke, the Holy Spirit went up and made it up.

And God spoke and the Holy Spirit went up and made it up. See the two work together. Two work together.

And when God made the worlds, he made them out of nothing. There was nothing there to start with. Hebrews 11 three says, through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things that are seen were not made from things that are visible.

God made the worlds out of nothing. God put into man his spirit, his nature. And after God had created the worlds and he put his man Adam and his woman Eve in there, he said to them, now I have dominion over the earth and subdue it.

You're in control now, guys. You have my nature and I'm giving you a limited ability to create just like I create because it is in the nature of spirit to be creative. That is why men can create.

Women can create. We're always coming up with new inventions. It's the last time your dog found a new way to bark.

You could teach him tricks, but he'd never originated them. Man's coming up with new things all the time. Things that have never been done before.

Why? Because man has a spirit in him. Man has the very nature of God in him. You have their power to create, but your creative ability has limitations.

Well, how limited are we? Sometimes we think we're so limited that we're going to sit and pray, Lord, please, will you do this? Lord, please, will you create? Lord, please, will you? And all our prayers are always, Lord, would you do this? Lord, would you do that? Sometimes I think God just stands there and says, well, they never get it. I've given them the ability to make everything they need. I put into their spirits all the power and all the authority they will ever need.

Folks, as human beings restored into the image that Adam originally had and even higher through Calvary and through the indwelling Holy Spirit, we have the ability to create. But we can't create something out of nothing. We've got to take something in our hands and create using that material.

It's our only limitation. You've got to have something to start with. See, if you've got a ball of clay, you can create something out of it.

You can't create the ball of clay out of thin air. See, we can't do that. It's only God can do that.

God has given you more than enough materials and he's placed in your spirit all the materials you need to create anything you need in this world. Are we praying and hoping and awaiting for God to do something? God's not going to do any more creating, folks. He did his creation.

Whatever he does now, he's going to do through you. And if you don't step into the place and become that channel of creative ability, nothing's going to happen. Your life's going to continue the way it's been for the last 50, 60, 20, 30, whatever years you are.

Well, how do we do this? Firstly, we must have a blueprint. We've covered this in some detail. I told you how to make plans to visualize.

The most important thing is that you write it down. Otherwise, you're going to forget it. It's also good to journal and tap into your spirit as you seek.

Say, what is it that I really want? What is it that I really desire? And what is it that I believe that God wants to do with me? But you see, God will do whatever you desire as long as it's not sin. Write it down. Make a blueprint.

See, because there needs to be a blueprint before there can be a creation. You know, when God created the worlds, he had a picture in his mind. He said, let there be plants that do this, this, and this.

See, he knew in his mind what he wanted. He spoke the words that the Holy Spirit created. So before you can make your creation, know very clearly what you're wanting.

Lord, I want some more money. That's not a picture. And you see, you actually see what it is you desire.

You see, if you can't see it, you don't have a blueprint yet. You're just hoping for the best. You're hoping things are going to get better.

You hope I'm going to start feeling better. You hope we're going to get more money. You hope some more people are going to be nice to me.

It's not going to happen. You must have a clear picture in your mind of what you're wanting before you can create. See, if you take that piece of clay and decide you're going to make it into something, you know, you can make excuses like Aaron did.

Oh, you know, I just took all the gold and threw it in the fire and this is what came out. Liar. Scripture says he took a, he specially fashioned it and carved it and shaped it.

Oh, you know, I can't help it. This is what God did with my clay. No, no, clay's in your hands.

Oh, I can't help it. God made me. God didn't make you that way.

You made you that way. You made you that way. Or you allowed other people to make you that way.

The choice is in your hands. Now once you've made your grip and give it to the Lord, make sure he proves of it. Now, folks, now is when you start asserting your, the first thing you do is you stand against the negatives and you command them to bow.

Have you noticed that people who are under authority don't like to bow? Come on, you ever, you ever taken over a position of, of, of supervisor, become a supervisor, had, they have suddenly risen up above other people. Isn't that amazing how they all suddenly jump and bow to you? Not a chance. When I went into the army, I didn't want to obey.

I didn't want to do this. They made me do it. It was a price to pay.

Hey, you stand up straight, get your feet together, act like a man. Hey, authority has to be asserted, folks. It has to be asserted.

Oh, God's given me the authority to say everybody's going to suddenly bow. Satan's not going to bow that, I can tell you. He's going to challenge your authority every step of the way.

Unless you learn to assert that authority, nothing's going to happen. Oh, you know, I'm waiting for the Lord to assert the authority. You know how God asserted his authority? He put it in you and he's waiting for you.

He's saying, I've given it to you, use it, act like me, just act like me. Well, how did he act? Hey, you storm, please be still. Lazarus, come forth.

Luciman, come out of him, you demon. He used his authority. Well, you know, if you don't know your authority, and that's why I said to you at the beginning, you need to know your authority.

If you don't know your authority, you're going to say, hey, demon, would you like to come out? Hey, would you like to come out, please? Can't be the nice guy. You're going to have to be the sergeant major. You learn your authority, folks.

Command the negative to bow, and the chances are you may have to repeat it a few times. I said, bow. Didn't you learn me? Didn't you know I have authority over you? Chances are you'll come back and say, no, you don't.

And if he can convince you, you don't. You step back. You say, well, maybe he's right.

I don't feel very authoritative right now. Now, you do feelings. I don't feel the anointing on me right now.

Nothing to do with feelings. It's authority. It's a position.

It's something that's been delegated to you. It's time you know who you are, folks. Once you've spoken to the negative, you must speak the positive.

Romans 4, 17 says, God who gives life to the dead and calls those things that are not as though they were. See, God's put his nature in you, and he's telling you to do the same thing. He's telling you to speak life to what has died.

He's telling you to command to be what doesn't exist right now. It sounds like creation to me. But yes, there's a limitation.

We have to have something to start with. We must have materials to start with. And we must create using words.

We got to issue commands. And when we do that, we must release the power of the spirit within to actually do the creation. See how they flow together? God spoke, let there be.

The Holy Spirit did it. We stand and we say, let there be. And the spirit within you, the anointing within you, rises up and does it.

We're so used to waiting for God to do it. We want some preacher who's got a healing anointing to come and pray for me to be healed. Have you noticed that most of the people that get healed with these healing evangelists are unbelievers? You know, it's very easy to cast demons out of unbelievers.

And you can't cast demons out of a Christian, because only the Christian has the authority to do that. Unbeliever doesn't. It's very easy to get unbelievers healed, because they need the power of God to heal them.

But Christians got the healing power in them already. When God heals you as a Christian, even if some great man or woman of God has prayed for you, do you know where the healing comes from? Well, as he laid his hands on me, the healing power came out of his hands into my body. No, it didn't.

It came out of your spirit into your body. Yeah, for the unbeliever it did that way. Because the unbeliever has nothing.

That's why the only miraculous healings we see is when the preacher stands up and gets a revelation and says, there's somebody here today, God's going to do that for you. And we sit and rely on the gift of faith and the gift of miracles and the gift of healings. What about a creative miracle? What about creating something that isn't there anymore? How about if a limb has been cut off and that limb grows back again? Well, let me ask you a question.

If a limb has been cut off and it grows back again, where does the substance come from? It grows into the new leg. Where does it come from? It comes from up there. It comes from this body.

Don't you have the authority to create using material? Don't you have the authority to command a creation to take place? Well, I don't have the gift of miracles. So what? Tell you what you don't have. You don't have the faith.

That's what you don't have. Nothing to do with the gift. Nothing whatsoever.

Those gifts are signed ministries for the preaching of the gospel to reach unbelievers. The whole time we're trying to get this to work amongst Christians, it doesn't. Because the person that you're praying with has to be a participant in what you're doing.

And if they are not prepared to allow the anointing within them to come up and to heal their body, if they are not prepared to believe and trust God with you, they'll never get healed. I've really wanted the easy way. I'll just stand, be passive and let somebody else do it for me.

Now you see, God wants to take what's in you and recreate it. And every one of us folks has the ability to do that, whether we have gifts or not. All we need to do is to develop the faith, hope and the love.

Develop those powers, those inner forces and highly magnify them and you should be able to create in your limb. In fact, every healing, every healing that comes from prayer is a creation. So now I have a diseased organ in my body.

How should I be praying? Lord heal. No, I want a new organ. I want a new organ.

And yeah, we kind of have this idea it's going to be like a transplant. We take the old one out and we put a new one in. No, we're going to take what's there, we're going to make a new one out of it.

We're going to take a diseased organ and make a whole organ out of it. That's all healing is. Let's take it out of the realm of the super duper miraculous folks.

Realize that we have in our spirits and in our mouths the ability to create anything that's available in this world. What can we create? We can create health. And how do we do that? The first thing we do is we attack the spirit of infirmity that's stopping the body from healing itself.

We get too medical, you know. Oh, you know, something wrong with this organ, it's been diseased, the cells are broken down, there's cancer, there's this, there's that. And we're waiting for God to go in and fix.

Oh, you know, I don't have the gift of healing. You have authority to command. You have authority to say, you spirit of cancer, get out now.

Now, you spirit of infirmity that's attacking this body and stopping it from healing itself, in the name of Jesus. My name you shall cast out demons, Jesus said, to every believer. In the name of Jesus, I'm telling you, out! You can do that.

Well, I'm not an apostle, you know. I was doing it long before I was an apostle. Like, I wasn't, I wasn't anything.

I was a deacon. Not even that yet. They never allowed me that, early days.

I knew my authority. I knew I could command demons and they'd have to obey. You know what, they never obeyed without arguing.

Now, Jesus told the legion to go and they started to argue with him. Yeah, well, you know, we're not happy about going, you know, we'd like to go into the pigs. Demons will argue.

I hear them in the spirit. Demon, you let go. And I even say, no, I won't.

I say, yes, you are. No, I won't. Oh, yes, you are.

You hear me holding a conversation with a demon, you wonder who I'm talking to? Because I know that demon's fighting. I know he's resisting. Saying, hey, I didn't give you an option.

I didn't invite you. I told you. I commanded you.

And I stand in the name which is above every other name to which you must bow. Lucifer himself had to do that with me. I first met him.

Because he knows. When he knows that you know, and you know that he knows that you know. Hey, get out of the way, world.

Here I am. It's not going to stop now. And I'm going to keep shouting and I'm going to keep speaking and I'm going to keep commanding until you bow.

Take no for an answer. We pray once, nothing happens. So maybe it wasn't the will of the Lord.

We're waiting for God to do. Command a new creation in your body. Command the evil to leave, then command a new creation.

Say, hey, your body. See, if you can't get this to work on yourself, you probably won't get it to work on anybody else either. Because at least you have a control of your own spirit.

And as you speak those words and as you release the anointing within, you should be able to get yourself healed. See, but gifts of the spirit don't work that way. Gifts of the spirit are for other people.

So people who move in these healing ministries, they always know how to get everybody else healed when they sick themselves. Because they've never learned to use the authority that God has given them. How about wealth? Command Satan to let go of your provision.

You know, the late Kenneth Hagen taught something that really impressed me. He said in his early years as he was traveling to preach and relying on donations from people, he was always waiting and dependent on whether people were going to give or not. And the Lord said to him, all the money is in this world already.

It's just Satan that's stopping you from getting it. And so he tried something. He said, I need so much.

My next meeting. Now, Satan, take your hands off my money. Money.

He went to that church and the elders shook their head. They said, this church has never given that much to a visiting preacher ever. It's a matter of authority.

Your spirits of poverty are stealing your money. And we're praying and saying, Lord, please provide. It doesn't come easily.

Maybe God doesn't want to give it to me right now. Rubbish. It's already given it to you.

To your lying Satan to steal it. Command the spirits of poverty to leave and command the wealth and the possessions to be created. Because you have created ability.

You're going to create wealth that didn't exist before. Oh, where's it going to come from? The Lord will take care of that part. Oh, I command my boss to only give me a new raise.

No, it doesn't work that way. You can't command people. They have their own will.

See, you just command. I need an extra 10,000 rand a month to do what God's called me to do. I've learned to do this.

If I need a new computer or a new anything, and the money isn't there right now to get it, I will assess how much I need. And I'll make a withdrawal from my heavenly account. Well, I've taught you previously in the way of blessing.

If you've been through it, how to make deposits and how to make withdrawals from your heavenly bank account. So I will say, Father, we need so many thousand rand right now. Lord, I believe you want me to have this thing.

That's the amount of money I need in the name of Jesus. I receive it now and I command it to be released. Then I'll wait because it's going to come.

I don't know how it's going to come. I don't know where it's going to come from. I don't know when it's going to come, but it's going to come.

It's going to come. Because I expect it to come. Because it usually does.

Oh, you know what? If you don't have faith to believe for five rand, don't try for 10,000 yet. Get those spiritual muscles built up a little bit first. Start somewhere small.

Start somewhere small. Lord, I need a new pen. Do you believe for a new pen? That God provided.

It doesn't mean somebody's going to walk up to you and say, yeah, God told me to give you a pen. You may provide the finance. I don't know.

He could do that. He could do that. I heard of people who bought clothes for somebody else and they went into a shop to buy something.

When they came out to pay for this, they said, it's all right. Somebody just came in and paid it for you. It can happen.

Don't dictate. You see, you must create, folks. When it comes to relationships, you must command the spirits of disfavor to bow.

Those demons that are making people not like you and hate you and be jealous of you or whatever else. You must speak to them and say, don't you dare. I bind you in the name of Jesus.

You will no longer prevent me from having favor. And then command the creation of new circumstances to meet new people and to build relationships with the people that you already know. Command favor with every new person you meet.

You must create it. You must use the authority. Then you must resist all fear, because that's the first thing Satan's going to do to challenge you when you start to do this.

He's going to bombard your mind with fear. You start to believe God for health, you'll get a pain. Oh boy, that feels like my heart.

Sure enough, it's going off to the left here. I've got this numb feeling in my left hand. That's all signs of a heart attack.

I call the doctor quickly. I don't do that. I don't do that.

I say, hey, you. How dare you? How dare you, Satan? Challenge the word. In the name of Jesus, you take your hands off my body.

You leave now. And usually I'll get a revelation in the spirit and I'll see the demon. I'll see him running off.

So you're lucky you are the gift of discerning spirits. It didn't fall on me. I had to fight for it.

I had to claim it. I had to receive it. You want to move in the gifts? It takes faith to reach out and take.

Remember that verse we read? Whatever you're asking while you're praying. And the Greek says, asking for yourself. It's a Greek tense that says when you do something for yourself.

Whatever you ask for yourself while you're praying, reach out and take it. Reach out and take it. That's what the Greek means there when it says, whatever things you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them.

That word believe involves literally laying your hands on something. Take it. Reach out with the hand of faith.

Take it. It's mine. He's already waiting for it to fall on me.

Can't be God's will. Maybe there's something wrong in my life. Satan begins to attack you with condemnation and accusation.

You're not good enough. You failed. You did this.

You did that. And then reject all the negative words of people all around you who tell you it's never going to happen, who told you who to think you are. Expect something like, he's just full of pride.

That's your problem. It'd be like water off a duck's back. Reject the fears of your own heart that are based on your past experiences because that's where fear comes from.

It's always based on past experiences. I don't care what happened in the past. Put it behind you.

Reject those fearful thoughts because they will try and steal from you the confidence to push through and just release the inner anointing. Speak your faith, not your doubt. Speak your hope, not your fears.

Speak your love, not your anger or frustration. And then in conclusion, expect results to your words of creation. Do not take no for an answer.

You say, well, I'm not sure it's the will of the Lord. Well, you should have found that out before you started. Before you made your blueprint.

Find that out first. So when you come to do this, you can't say, well, maybe God changed his mind. No, no.

No, no. Get in the scriptures and find promise from his word. And if you feel God saying no, you say, Lord, you're a liar because you said this in your word.

God likes us to be that way, to remind him of his word because he'll honor his word. Don't give in to the thoughts of the enemy. Don't be moved by the words of others.

And then keep your faith in the fields. Some things take time. Sometimes there's other people involved, particularly when it comes to financial provision.

Most of the time, all of these things require the work of angels. Give the guys a break. They work hard.

Give them time. They know what they're doing. They may have to work through a lot of circumstances, a lot of people, and it takes them a while to set it up.

Just be very sensitive that when they finally bring that situation to you, you don't miss the turn on the road. And that sign starts flashing turn. It's all been set up for you.

Then keep releasing words and actions until you see the result you desire. I'm going to end on a scripture from the insignificant book of Ecclesiastes. An old verse that probably you wonder what the heck this meant.

The original says, cast your bread upon the waters because you'll find it after many days. Well, I've retranslated it and I believe this is what it says. Send your bread out over the waters for you'll get what you desire after many days.

It's coming back, everything you desire. You see, you've got to send it out first. A lot of people are waiting for their ship to come in, but they never send one out.

Send your ship out and we'll come back fully laden with everything that you desire. But keep your faith in the field while you're waiting for it to manifest. Sometimes it'll come very quickly.

And when your faith is really strong, sometimes it can even come instantly. But don't depend on that. Just keep putting your faith out.

Keep sending your bread out on the waters. Sooner or later it starts coming back shovels full, so big that you can't even handle it. I can handle that problem, can't you? More provision than I can spend.

Oh, bummer. You're gonna have to put some money in the bank because you can't spend it all. I'd like to be in that position, wouldn't you? God wants you to be in that position.

But folks, you must create it. You must create it using the tools that he's given you. You must speak the words.

You must command the enemy. You must insist. That's what I want.

That's what I'm gonna have. I'm not gonna accept anything less. Satan may send you a counterfeit.

But is that what you asked for? Well, Lord, you know, I wanted this nice, tall, handsome looking guy. But you know, this short, funny little guy came along. He's better than nothing.

You know, I found most of the time God gives you more than what you asked for. He gives you more than what you asked for. Oh, Lord, you know, I would have been happy with a thousand.

He says, how'd you like five? God always gives way over and above, way over and above what our small little minds can think. But it's time we take all of these principles now and we take action. As you step out here today, I want you to think about what it is that you're really desiring.

I want you to think about what it is you're facing right now, what problems you're facing right now and speak to that problem. If the problem is in your body, speak to your body. If the problem is in your finances, speak to your finances.

If you have a problem in your relationships, speak to your relationships and command them. In the name of Jesus, this is my right. This is my heritage and I will settle for nothing less.

Father, we thank you for your word. You gave it as you gave it to me. I pray that your people will receive it in faith.

They will take it and eat it and let it churn and burn inside of them until they start to do it. Lord, hallelujah. Now, I want you all to stand and we're going to, we're going to do something right now.

I want you to think of some of the things that are on your list. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to step into the spirit because without the power of the anointing of God, nothing's going to happen. Okay, so I want you to come and in your heart say, Jesus, I submit myself to you afresh in spirit, soul, and in body.

Here I am, Lord, I'm yours. I give everything over to you. I ask you to take control and to live your life through me, to speak your thoughts through me, to fill me with your desires.

It's a simple step in faith. He said he'll be there. You took that step, now he's there.

You're standing in his spirit and his anointing that's already within you is ready to flow out. Okay, now I'm going to pray for you and I want you to just pray in agreement with me. I'm going to pray on your behalf but I want you to make these your words.

Satan, in the name of Jesus, you've had your way long enough. You've stolen from me long enough. You've withheld from me the blessings of God for long enough.

Now enough is enough and your time is up. Your time is over and in the name of Jesus, I'm ordering you out of my life. I'm ordering you out of my body.

I'm ordering you out of my finances. I'm ordering you out of my relationship, out of my work circumstances, out of my circumstances in everyday life. Wherever I go, I'm ordering you out, out, be gone.

In Jesus' name, Jesus' name. And now I speak the word of creation and I say, Father, you know what's in my heart and in the name of Jesus now, I command in the name which is above every other name, that that which I desire will come into manifestation now. It will be created in whichever way you see fit.

You will make it new. You will give me a new one of everything that's faulty. You'll give me a new one of everything that Satan has stolen from me and you'll give me a better one.

I claim it now in the name of Jesus. I command it. I speak it forth with a hand of faith.

I reach out and I take it and it is mine. Thank you for it, Lord. I thank you for it.

It is mine. It is mine. It is mine.

It is mine. God said to Joshua, everywhere you put your foot, I've given you. Now stand on it.

This is mine, Satan. This is mine. See, I'm putting my foot on it.

That's mine. It's my healing. It's my finances.

It's my relationships. It's mine. Get your hands over it.

It's mine. It's mine because God has given it to me and I'm going to hang on to it. I'm going to hold on to it and I'm not going to let go of this promise.

I'm not going to let go of my faith. I'm not going to let go. I'm going to carry on till it manifests in my hands.

Thank you for it, Lord, in Jesus' name. In Jesus' name. God's going to do some miracles, I'm telling you.

There's got to be testimonies here. God's going to do some miracles. God's going to do some amazing things in your life.

Go out and practice it this week. Don't expect it always to go smoothly. Satan will challenge you and those fears come.

Don't fight them with your mind. Speak out loud. Command them to leave.

Always. Satan can't read your mind. Command him to leave.

Speak out loud. You get a pain in your body. You speak to it.

You rebuke it. Don't treat it as an illness. Treat it as a person.

Treat it as a thing. Hey, you. You pain.

Listen. You listen to me. I'm talking to you.

You're going right now in the name of Jesus. Right now in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah.

You'll be amazed how powerful this is. You'll be amazed. I know.

I've proved these things. I practice them all the time. Satan attacks me.

You know, you get old. You get a lot more of these things. I fight them daily sometimes.

And the panic sets in. You think, oh, you know, at my age, anything could happen. Something could fail.

You know, if my faith is weak or my wife, call somebody who can believe with you. Jesus said, where two of you shall agree concerning anything, it shall be done. Leave no stone unturned until you get it.

Because God's promised it to you. It's yours. You have a right to it.

Hallelujah. The Lord bless you. Amen.
