FULL NOTES!! Regional Camp Meeting with Pastor Chris, Dec 12th, 2014. Benin City, Nigeria. The Spirit of God is here tonight and there is something special for you. John 4:24 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. God is not a stone, He is not a wood, and He is not a Man.! He is a Spirit. A camp meeting has the flavour of the different types of meeting. God is a Spirit, anyone who must relate with God must do it by the spirit. Beings and such things that are not spirit cant worship him. There is a difference between praise and worship. When you praise...you say good things, you thank Him for all He has done and who He is. In worship there is a communion, there is a relationship, there is a special kind of relation, between the lesser and the greater. The greater brings the lesser to the same level with him. The angels dont permit us to worship them, because we are in oneness with Jesus, in a higher level, we are higher than angels. We are not allowed to worship angels. That we are brought into the same place with Jesus doesnt mean we are co-equal with him. John 3:7 1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mothers womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. When you were born of your parents you were born of the flesh, everybody is a spirit being. Man is primarily a spirit, you are not your body, you are a spirit. The spirit does not die. The death of the spirit is defined as separation from God, separated from communion with God. No man can find God outside of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was the revelation of the will of the Father, He is the expression of Gods person, the out shinning of the Fathers person. The human life is a type of animal life. God deals with our spirit. You will hear God in whatever language you hear Him speak. Language is only but coded sound. The first manifestation of your new birth is the love of God. 1 John 4;17 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 1John 3;1 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. We are alive unto God. Continue to perfect your love, practice your love. Develop your Christian life. Live as a Christian, become God conscious. You cant do anything with Christianity until you know what you have received. 2 Corinthians 5;7 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 2 Corinthians 4;16 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. As we share the word of God, our spirits are being glorified, strengthened. Success means more than money and physical things. Success is the consistent manifestation of the glory of God in your life. Example, Paul and Silas though they were in prison they were a success. When you develop your spirit, you will never be afraid of challenges. When planes fly sometimes there is turbulence and as such they go higher and above the turbulence. Its same with us Christians, when you develop your spirit you can go higher above the problems you face. You will always win and your life will be more glorified. When you develop your spirit, you will count it all joy when you face challenges. Develop your spirit... Learn to live by the word, dont love in your earthly environment, live from the inside out that means live from your spiritual environment. When you live from the inside you live in and by what Jesus has brought to you. How can you develop your human spirit? 1. Practice meditating on the word of God...dont just read through, capture it, digest it into your system through meditation. Let the word of God stay in your spirit. 2. Learn to give the word of God first place. Give first consultation to the word of God when anything happens in your life. If you dont know what the word says about the situation, then pray. A Christian must be wise and give the word of God first place. God guides us through the spirit. Romans 8;14 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. The Spirit of God leads Gods people..Sons here indicate maturity, the mature sons of God God seeks to lead us through the inward witness, this is available to every Christian. The inward voice is different from the inward witness. Inward voice is the voice of your spirit, it is you. If you train yourself to listen and respond to that voice it will take you places, it will save your life. The inward witness is not a voice but a consciousness of guidance from your spirit. The inward witness cannot help you if you have not developed your spirit. The inward witness bears witness with you in your spirit, when you choose to go against the inward witness you miss God. Train yourself, your spirit to listen and obey the inward voice and the inward spirit, follow them... Never find yourself stubborn or rebellious against Gods word if you do, you are setting up yourself for trouble. Be a kingdom person. You may never see a vision, or see Jesus talk to you from the skies, or have a dream but you sure can have an inward voice and it can be supernatural. If you dont believe in witchcraft, you can as well say you dont believe gravity. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Spiritual forces are real. The only way we deal with them is in the power in the name of Jesus Christ. There is a fight of faith..God is not saying your life should be full of wars, even though we fight it is from a place of REST. There is no need to negotiate with the devil, he has no mercy, its not in his nature to be merciful...so dont give room for the devil... Praise God! Prophecy Fear not for I am with you, I am your strength. I am the rock on which you stand, the rock on which you are founded. Fear not, for I am God, saith the Lord. For I have made the heavens and the earth, and everything that has been made. The world is mine, and I have given it to you. I have given you my Word and I am your strength. I am your life. Have no fear, for I am with you. Have no fear. Fear not the night, nor the darkness. For the darkness has no power over you, and the wicked shall not overcome you. For you are mine saith the Lord, the evil shall bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous. For I am your strength, saith the Lord. I have enabled you and I have empowered you. My hand is upon you, and I have exalted you with my hand of righteousness; for thou art mine saith the Lord. Thus saith the Lord, I have given you an understanding heart and my wisdom is perfected in you. Walk in the light of my Word. I have made you victorious in all things, therefore walk in victory. Walk in the consciousness of your victory. Do not look at the shadows for I have laughed at the enemy. I have laughed at the adversary therefore consider him not. Consider not your adversaries, for they are fallen before you. I have exalted you, saith the Lord; I will demonstrate my glory before you and men shall know that you are mine. For you shall show forth my praise, saith the Lord, and your mouth shall be filled with testimonies of my goodness. Glory to God...
