"Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods ." - Psalm 95:1-3

Joshua and his spies they surveyed Jericho and now it’s time to take over the city- and all of a sudden Joshua says walk around, don't talk, and just walk in silence, around what? What kind of stupidity is that one, instead of taking over the city in military style, you say we should walk in silence.

You know, there are people who are too big for breakthrough, they are too carnal and scientific for the “stupidity” that spirituality requires. But this people go above carnality and they move around Jericho till the 7th time, immediately they got there now – then they switched into TEHILLA mode and the Bible said when they SHOUTED, you know sometimes you hear people say give God a loud SHOUT- you may think they are just exciting themselves, or engaging in some stupid formulas, see eerh if you allow non-spiritual people to explain spiritual mysteries to you, they will rubbish this things and rob you of your breakthrough.

You need to master how to destroy them Jericho’s in your life, let me tell you how to come out of anything, PRAY, PRAISE and DANCE your way out. DANCE, PRAISE and THANKSGIVING is a powerful mystery of deliverance.

Listen, there is a time for vocal prayer but there is also a time to engage in dance, praise and thanksgiving, the bible calls it the sacrifice of praise , it will cost you, that's why it is a sacrifice, the cost dimension is when things are not working well, for you but you are called to PRAISE.

Let me tell you errrh, till you know how to rejoice before God in and out of season- forget about progress- look there is nothing that paralyses Satan like an expression of praise and joy.

Have you heard of DANCING VIGIL before, a woman was barren and I asked her to do a dancing vigil for one hour every night for 7 days, the next month she conceived. That's the power of praise and thanksgiving.

Life is essentially spiritual, when the devil wants to get into your life, he will use people, systems, things, so every time you begin to see things, strange attacks, it is a sign that something is about to happen, about to drop, be careful, be sensitive; know that anger, bitterness will begin to pop up, worry, anxiety will follow, betrayal will come, anything to get you angry, because anger opens doors for the evil one to sow evil seeds in your life.

Someone has been searching for you since but no access, then the person comes to get your angry or emotional so that you can in return react in anger- then the person now has spiritual leverage over you to destroy you.

That's why scriptures encourage us not to let the sun set on our anger. If you allow it- there are demon people who are so desperate and will use you anger as the access point to you to sabotage your joy. You see what they did to Moses, they let the people of Israel frustrate him so much that he became angry and did the exact thing he was asked not to do- as a result he missed the promised land- Rejoice again I say rejoice always.

Do you know that there times in your life there is nothing about you -that can bring that miracle- those are times you engage this mystery of praise, thanksgiving and Dance.

One time I was traveling with my instrumentalists. Our bus broke down in the middle of nowhere, complete darkness, bush all around us, very deserted road, a little after 10:30pm. For the next 25 minutes we tried all we could- but this bus will not start. Finally we got tired and we were almost in despair, meanwhile we had another program the next day and we were hoping to make it into Accra by 12 midnight at least and catch a little rest before the break of dawn.

We were frustrated- and typical of me, anytime I get into a situation - I have trained my mind to quickly search the mysteries of God and see which one can bail me out- What came to me on this occasion was the mystery of praise and thanksgiving. I asked Simon to take his manual guitar, the one that plays and emits sounds without electricity - and I raised a song- he began to play, we sat down by the road and started worshiping and praising God, time passed, we were lost in worship, 2 hours later still in praise and worship - now we were so enjoying this session in the middle of no where - then the Holy Spirit asked me to start the car again, kaboom - car started. We praised our way to our way back into Accra.

When you understand that life is spiritual you will know it is not about your husband, your wife, your roommate, your friend or your partner.

Most of you are turning your attention to the wrong place. So persons have given access to spirits, they are like robots, anything the devil wants them to do- they do even without knowing- you need to sustain the spiritual fortitude to discern people, discern situations, discern-principalities and powers because life is essentially spiritual.

No matter who you are- a day will come when only God can help you. Stop interpreting the events in your life with a physical lenses. So something bad happens- don't sit down and lament, and stop being in expectation of bad news, after you hear something or go through something- close your door and say Lord I don’t know what is up- but I give you praise - I get a prophecy that something good is coming and all of a sudden things begin to turn upside down, praise the Lord. Lord things are trying robbing me of my joy. But I praise and worship you for answered prayers.

My life is essentially spiritual, I cannot stop you from carrying the charm, but I can stop it from touching me. I can't stop the spirit of the grave from roaming around but I can stop it from touching me, to the extent that even if the devil himself drives a car, I will sit in it and I will arrive safely. This are not empty talks, this is what Dominion is all about.

The Holy Spirit is training us to be spiritually intelligent. So from now when you see things, experience things and listen to people, stop evaluating things from the physical. You receive an insulting text then you want to retaliate- No No. Overcome the devils with a thing called love and spiritual intelligence.

When you disarm powers, you will see God rise in a fearful way.

BITTERNESS , ANGER , ENVY are more WICKED than the DEVIL himself. They destroy you they are like cancer that sabotages you. Many of our folks- you know why they may never prosper, they are angry at everybody, when they see people coming then they are frowning and angry, how is he getting the money, how come she is progressing, before you realize the grace for that blessing is authorized to leave your life, because anything you don't honour cannot be your inheritance.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Remember NO ASKING only THANKING🙏🏿

Shalom and God bless you
