01:15fear
01:15the lord god has spoken who can but prophesy my name is george magalhães my wife here sabrina and we
01:22are an apostolic ministry with a prophetic teaching edge it is our passion our mission to reignite
01:28equip and release christ-like disciples both locally and globally we do that through our itinerant
01:35ministry but as well as providing with resources just like this one to help you to guide you in
01:40your god-given calling and today we have our monthly been doing a few more recently since we moved here
01:48to mildura uh prayer ministry prayer where it's more of a casual we will have uh not so much a
01:57study
01:58but some prayer from the book we released when you pray declare and dominate so we'll actually be
02:06ministering from this book from one of the chapters of the book today but before we get on to it
02:12let's get on to our main verse today because the main verse we're going to be the main topic we're
02:18going to be talking about today that we're going to be praying about is joy the joy of the lord
02:23specifically amen amen so let's bring that up on the screen and we are looking at the extended bible
02:31version in that version you'll be able to see that there's actually supporting evidence other
02:37supporting biblical scriptures to what is being said there so i thought that would be great for us to
02:43have a look at so let me read it for us nehemiah said go and enjoy food eat of the
02:51fat and sweet drinks
02:54send some portions to people who have none nothing prepared because today is a holy sacred day to the
03:03lord don't be sad grieve mourn because the joy of the lord will make you strong is your strength
03:12amen amen and amen hallelujah all right so what we're going to do today as usual is uh it usual
03:20as in
03:21the prayer ministry is going to be more of a casual thing so we will pray but we will not
03:26be as casual
03:27as in the usual prayer meetings because what we're going to be doing is we're going to be praying from
03:33one of the chapters the chap chapter five if i'm not mistaken on joy the joy of the lord we'll
03:40be
03:40reading that whole chapter and declaring and praying god's word not george's not sabrina's god's word

08:12be
08:12talking about joy we're going to be reading it together and uh just listen just receive just
08:18uh discern as well we always tell people make sure you discern it's in the bible we're supposed to
08:23discern what you're receiving don't just receive anything that anybody says just because they're
08:28pastors be very careful those things or priests um yeah i won't say too much i won't say too much
08:36again we're reading from here amen amen all right so i'm going to be reading it and then i'll pass
08:41it
08:41on to my wife sabrina as well so in the joy chapter 5 we have an introduction joy is not
08:51dependent on
08:52circumstances it is a spiritual strength released from god's presence in seasons of pressure uncertainty
09:00or warfare joy becomes a weapon that sustains faith and silences the enemy biblical joy christian joy
09:09in other words is deep anchored and unshakable because it flows from relationship with god not
09:18from external outcomes so what is joy let me pass it on to this beautiful woman right here powerful woman
09:25what is joy so what is joy like you said joy is a spiritual fruit produced by holy spirit
09:33in the life of every believer who abides in christ
09:40it is an inner assurance of god's goodness faithfulness and victory remaining steadfast
09:49regardless of outward circumstances trials or emotions through the finished work of jesus
10:00this deep supernatural joy flows from knowing we are fully accepted redeemed and eternally secure in him
10:12enabling us to rejoice always as scripture commands
10:18amen now some of you were thinking this how do you know that well read your bible and you would
10:23understand that even jesus picked up on some of the things that people were thinking so jesus said
10:27you will do even greater things that's right okay um some of you were thinking but george you're used
10:34to it you're a minister sabrina you're used to it you're a minister uh ignorance what does the bible
10:42say through ignorance lack of wisdom my people perish so ignorance makes people perish don't be ignorant
10:51read the word of god study the word of god why am i saying this because the word of god
10:55tells us very
10:56clearly that you are not a human being as the world says you are a spirit being you are made
11:01in god's image
11:02what is god spirit if god is spirit you're a spirit being with a body and a soul and the
11:07only reason why
11:08have a body is because we're passing through on earth the bible tells us that we are but aliens passing
11:12through we have a mission here on earth and that is to reveal the light of god the kingdom of
11:17god
11:18to conquer and go on conquering as the word of god tells us to release the kingdom of god on
11:24earth as
11:25it is in heaven we are heavenly missionaries we are spirit beings with a body and a soul
11:30as such there is no excuse for us to say but i don't have the faith or the hope that
11:35you have no yes you do
11:36it's just a matter of accessing it activating it whatever word you want to use release and how do
11:41you activate it now how do you access that faith faith is the evidence of things hoped for
11:47faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen how do you get faith
11:54as the bible tells us by hearing the word of god so you study the word of god hear the
12:00word of god
12:00and you will gain your faith will get will grow your faith will grow and then you will understand
12:08and you will be able to exercise courage boldness all those things then you will see the manifestation
12:13of of the things that the bible speak about so george has actually given you guys a step for it
12:19read the word of god hear his word here understand because when you hear his word you read his word
12:25you're not doing it on your own holy spirit helps you to bring forth that understanding right i mean
12:31there's a lot of subject about it that's what jesus said he was talking about in parables he even said
12:36to
12:36the 12th disciple you know those who have um um ears let them hear those who um have eyes let
12:42them see
12:43you know anyways we won't get into it nevertheless george has given the steps on how to get into that
12:50manifestation or get into seeing that faith at work so if you get a chance listen to this all over
12:57again
12:58okay life analogy let me give you a practical example to our lives amen so it's the life analogy
13:05the unshakable anchor in a storm imagine a massive ship caught in the middle of a violent storm
13:12waves crash winds roar and everything around that appears chaotic and unstable yet beneath the surface
13:19unseen to the eye a powerful anchor holds the ship firmly in place though the storm rages above the
13:28vessel is not carried away destroyed or lost the stability of the ship is not determined by the storm
13:35but by what it is anchored to that's right what are you anchored to the stability of the ship is
13:44not
13:45determined by the storm but by what it is anchored to this reflects biblical joy life brings storms
13:53trials pressure uncertainty and spiritual battles joy is not based on what is happening around you
14:01it is anchored in god's unchanging presence and promises for the joy of the lord is your strength
14:10nehemiah 8 verse 10 when your joy is rooted in christ you remain steady strong and unmovable
14:16even when everything around you is shaking not convinced there's another life analogy that this
14:24beautiful woman right here powerful woman is going to share with you amen listen up
14:29right the second life analogy is this the inner spring in a dry land picture a vast dry land during
14:38a
14:39long season of drought everything around appears barren lifeless and exhausted yet in the middle of that land
14:48there is a hidden underground spring continuously flowing with fresh clean water while everything else
14:57depend on external rain this spring flows from an internal source untouched by external conditions
15:07because of it life still grows strength remains and fruit continues to appear in that place this is the
15:16reality of joy in the believer joy is not dependent on outward circumstances emotions or seasons it flows from
15:26within produced by holy spirit psalm chapter 16 verse 11 from the kjv says this thou will show me
15:36the path of life inside present presence is fullness of joy even in dry seasons pressure or waiting
15:47joy continues to flow because its source is god himself amen amen let's continue so we're talking about
15:56we're doing prayer ministry today but we're focusing on the topic of joy specifically the joy of the lord
16:02because the reality is anything else but the joy of the lord is circumstantial is based on surroundings
16:08and how we are living but the joy of the lord is not dependent on that as we've just listened
16:14so why
16:15do we need joy why need joy without joy believers become weary discouraged and vulnerable to pressure even
16:24while walking in faith yes peter greatest example he was walking on water
16:33remember that but god didn't tell him off either because remember we can still have faith in the midst of
16:40fear
16:44joy strengthens our faith guards our hearts and minds sustains us through trials releases spiritual endurance
16:54let me give you some key joy scriptures the first one is our main verse and our main verse today
17:01is what
17:02nehemiah 8 verse 10 i'm going to be reading from the king james version then he said unto them go
17:09your way
17:10eat the fat and drink the sweet and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared for this day
17:18is
17:19holy unto our lord neither be ye sorry for the joy of the lord is your strength amen amen let
17:29me read a
17:29second one then i'll pass it over to this powerful woman right here psalm 16 verse 11 psalm 16 verse
17:3611
17:37thou wilt show me the path of life in thy presence in thy presence talking about god is fullness
17:48of joy not a little bit not some joy fullness of joy fullness as in what is going to feel
17:56to your head
17:57he's going to feel as much as you need as much as you can handle amen amen fullness of joy
18:05at thy right
18:06hand there are pleasures forevermore let me pass it over to this powerful woman right here come on
18:12philippians chapter 4 verse 4 from the kjv says this rejoice in the lord always and again i say rejoice
18:22john chapter 15 verse 11 from the kjv says this these things have i spoken unto you
18:29that my joy might remain in you and that your joy might be full because it's a decision might
18:40right galatians chapter 5 verse 22 kjv again but the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace long
18:50suffering gentleness goodness faith psalms chapter 30 verse 5 kjv says this for his anger and jure
18:58but a moment in his favor is life weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning
19:08all
19:08right let me give you another bible uh evidence romans 15 verse 13 again reading from the king james
19:17version now the god of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that ye may abound in
19:27hope

20:48and just read out the next four please yes and for those who are still asking yes god did supply

25:29control us or affect us in the sense of of taking over the self-control that you've given us no
25:35you did
25:36not give us a spirit of fear but of power love and self-control power love and a sound mind
25:44yes so lord
25:45we thank you that you've given us power as your word says power of all things including the power of
25:51the
25:51enemy so nothing shall by any means touch us and that does not mean that we won't go through troubles
