Parklands Baptist Church's Podcast
7th December 2025 2nd Service: Impartation Of Uncommon Presence. By PBC Senior Pastor, Rev. Ambrose Nyangao, EBS
Fire at Sinai. Joy at Zion. We open with a startling contrast: God’s presence is both overwhelming and welcoming, terrifying and transforming. That tension becomes our lens for the whole conversation as we explore how the “high‑voltage” holiness of God has been stepped down in Christ so we can carry the Spirit’s power without being consumed—and live boldly because of it.
From there, we unpack three life‑changing dimensions of presence. First, the presence that secures: a hedge of fire that surrounds, covers, defends, and scatters opposition. Job’s story and Zechariah’s promise remind us that fear is often ignorance of what already encircles us. Then, the presence that favours: Joseph’s rise in a foreign land shows how God’s nearness opens doors, grants trust, and prospers work. We outline five fruits of favour—access, opportunities, enlargement, provision, and prosperity—and connect them to Noah, Mary, and Abraham to show favour’s quiet pattern across Scripture. Finally, the presence that leads: Psalm 23 and Isaiah 42 paint a Shepherd who guides the “blind” along unfamiliar paths, turning darkness into light and rough roads smooth. That’s spiritual leadership for December decisions, strained budgets, and surprise visitors.
Along the way, we get practical. Praise isn’t mood music; it’s how we fan the flame on the altar so the fire never goes out. We call out false guidance—horoscopes, mediums, manipulative “prophets”—and point to the Spirit’s wisdom and the safety of many counsellors. We challenge restless roaming that outruns blessing and show why staying where God places you can position you like Isaac for unexpected growth. We end with strong declarations over protection, favour, enlargement, strategy, and rest—rooted in Scripture, spoken for your week.

Amen. So this month we are talking about the importation of uncommon presence. So tell your neighbor, uncommon presence. Let me tell you this God's presence is terrifying. Never asked for God to for his presence to show up. Because if it does, you will take off very fast. But God's presence is also very glorious. Amen. God's presence is very transformative. God's presence is very elevating. God's presence is very peaceful. And so God's presence is manifested to us according to the different situations we are facing. But I want to show you a verse that describes this presence. Hebrews chapter 12, verse 18 to 24. The Bible says this, just giving us a glimpse of this presence. It says, You have not come to a mountain that can be touched, and that is burning with what? With fire, to darkness, gloom, and storm, to a trumpet blast, or to such a voice speaking words, that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them. Because they could not bear what was commanded. If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death. The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, I am trembling with fear. But you have come, tell your neighbor, but you have come. You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all, to the spirits of righteous made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkle blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Now God, in his mercy and in his blessing, realized that his own presence could not just show up. It is like the high voltage wires carrying electrical power. Those wires are not directed into your houses directly. The high voltage will burn and destroy every appliance in your house, including yourself. And so what Kenya Power has done, they have stepped down that power, and through Transformers, they have reduced that power to some of us to about 240 votes. And that you can handle, that you can be able to seize. The Bible says in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God. And then it says the word became flesh. In other words, now we could accommodate God's presence through a person. His name is Jesus. And now when we walk with Jesus, we are walking with a high voltage power of heaven, but brought to a point where we can be able to not only handle it, not only walk with it, but also that same power can indwell us. It's the power of the Holy Spirit. You have no realization the amount of energy and power that you walk around with. Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor, don't touch me. I may just electrocute you. Hallelujah. So much power, so much power. The Bible says that the disciples had never seen that power. But in the Bible, it says that Jesus Christ took three of his disciples: Peter, James, and John. They went up into a mountain. And the Bible says that Jesus began to pray. But as he was praying, he was transfigured. The power that was inside him, the power did not come to him, the power was already inside him. It suddenly manifested, and Jesus glowed like the sun, brighter. The disciples were so shocked they fell down. And at that moment, Moses and Elijah appeared in the presence of Jesus Christ. And then God said, This is my son. Listen to him. And I know some of you would not like to engage and enter into that glorious power because it can destroy you and kill you. But I'm telling you, right now, you carry that power. The Bible says you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in Judea. So God is saying in this message this morning, this afternoon, my presence is with you. My presence is with you. And that's why you should not be scared of the devil. You should not be scared of the kingdom of darkness. Because greater is He that is in you. Let me read that verse actually before I continue. 1 John chapter 4. I will read verse 1 to 4 so that you realize that you are a person of power. It says, Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the spirit of God. Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God. But every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. But you dear children, you dear children, you dear children, us children of God, dear children, are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. Hallelujah. The Holy Spirit lives in you, the presence of God is inside you, and so there are times when you feel challenged and discouraged. Hallelujah. Do something simple, just shake yourself, hallelujah. Just shake yourself in the spirit, just shake yourself and tell the devil, start running. Because greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. The presence of God, don't sit there and get so overwhelmed, so overwhelmed. Let the devil lie to you and lie to you, and then you start crouching and crouching. No, rise up, shake up the rivers of living water will flow from inside you, going out. Because the presence of God has been promised to be with you. I'm telling you, tell your neighbor, the presence of God is with me. The presence of God is like a hedge of fire around you. The devil noticed that that hedge by saying this to God when he wanted to tempt Job. Let me go to that verse, Job chapter 1, verse 6. The devil noticed it. Many times we don't notice it, but the devil could see it. One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. Now, the reason why the devil came was for one reason to accuse us. You see, the devil is the accuser of the brethren. So anytime the devil wants to accuse you, he shows up in the presence of God because he wants to come and make you feel that God should not walk with you. But listen to the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, Where have you come from? Satan answered, the Lord, from roaming throughout the earth. Now I want to talk to people who walk around roaming. You ask somebody, What are you doing? I'm just roaming. My friend, those people who roam around are in the devil's territory. The devil will kill you. Don't roam around, walk around with focus, walk around with purpose. Hello. But the devil said, Go back. Ah, yeah, that verse 7. Where have you come from? Satan answered the Lord, from roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it. Then the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him. He is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And then the devil said, Does Job fear God for nothing? Satan replied, Have you not put what? A hedge around him and his household and everything he has. You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. But now stretch your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely cast you to your face. In other words, the devil realized Job could not be touched. There was a hedge around him, a hedge of fire. Let me tell you this: there's a hedge of fire and protection around you. Zechariah chapter 2, verse 5 tells us about this hedge of fire. Fire that never goes out. The Bible says this, and this is the Lord declaring to Jerusalem, and now declare it declaring to you and me. And I myself will be a wall of what? Of fire around it. Jerusalem declares the Lord, and I will be its glory within. So God is a fire around us. He is also the glory within. That is the presence of God. I'm saying that is the presence of God. But you see, my people perish for lack of knowledge. They don't know. And so if you don't know, you walk around fearfully, you walk around scared. But I want to tell you this this month of December, the presence of God is walking with you. I'm saying the presence of God is walking with you. There is a wall of fire around you. So tell your neighbor one more time don't touch me. I may electrocute you. Hallelujah. There is a fire around you, and it is the glory of the Lord. It is the fire that never stops burning. Let me read this verse. Leviticus 6.13. The Bible says this. Leviticus 6.13. This is this is a book some many of you don't read. I'll tell your neighbor. Have you ever read the book of Leviticus? It's a good book, but this is what it says. The fire must be kept burning on the altar how long? Continuously. It must not go out. And God will make sure that this fire, his presence, is around you on a daily basis. And so you need to get excited because this is a month of joy. You need to celebrate the goodness of the Lord. The Bible says the joy of the Lord is what? Is your strength. The Bible says, I will enter his gates with thanksgiving and with praise. And you see, when you enter his gates with praise and thanksgiving, what you're doing, you are polizaring the fire of God. Now, polizaring is a Hebrew word. That means you're doing what in English? You're fanning. So when you're praising the Lord and begin to say, you know, let me give you an example. If you feel down and depressed and you've woken up in the morning and it's like nothing seems to be working, this is what you do. Just start saying hallelujah. Just start saying hallelujah. Then say hallelujah. Then repeat hallelujah. Then then continue saying you know at the beginning you're saying it with a with a with a conjured face. Hallelujah. By the time you're saying it the tenth time, something is shifting, something is shifting, something is changing because you're fanning the flame of God around you. Let me read it in Psalms 150. The Bible says this about praise. We are called to praise the Lord. Amen. It says, Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary. That word, praise God, it is the word hallelujah. So, hallelujah in his sanctuary, hallelujah in his mighty heavens, hallelujah him for his acts of power, hallelujah him for his surpassing greatness, hallelujah him with the sounding of the trumpet. Hallelujah him with the harp and the lyre. Hallelujah him with timbrel and dancing. Hallelujah him with strings and pipe. Hallelujah him with those firimbis. Hallelujah him with a clash of symbols. Hallelujah him with resounding symbols. Let everything that has breath, hallelujah the Lord. Somebody better give God a big hand. Amen. So you you just try that. Just just under your breath. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. I bless you, God. Oh Jehovah God. And you're just fanning the flame, fanning the flame, fanning the flame. Before you know it, now you don't need no music, just in your house. Let me tell you this. After a few minutes, you start shouting in your house. You'll just shout, shout, shout, and you wonder what happened. The fire flamed up. It becomes a blaze. You begin to sense the presence of God. Banas if you so look at your neighbor. One more time, tell your neighbor, don't touch me. I am fanning the flames. In Jesus' name. When you get a letter from your boyfriend saying that he's no longer in love with you, just start saying hallelujah. Just say, Praise the Lord. God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. And I'm telling you, the fire will flame. When that boyfriend shows back up, he'll be electrocuted if he comes next to you. And with it coming, hey, babe, babe, sweetie, sweetie, potato, potato. That guy will be electrocuted to China. I am telling you, in Jesus' name. So don't go around depressed just because of things like that. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. This fire will be kept burning and burning and burning. Somebody called Moses one day said, God, we are not going anywhere. Your presence has to come. So let me read that verse quickly. Exodus 33, verse 12 to 17. This is Moses who had walked with God. But he still says this. But you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, I know you by name, and you have found favor with me. If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember, this nation is your people. The Lord replied, My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. Hallelujah. My presence will go with you. Then verse 15. Then Moses said to him, If your presence does not go with us, do not send us from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth? And the Lord said to Moses, I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name. And God walked with them. Of course, Moses went on and asked something else. In the next verse, he said this. Then Moses said, Now show me your glory. So tell your neighbor, Moses was asking for too much. Hello. He has already got the presence. Now he's asking for the glory. And then the Lord said this, I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you. Not my glory, my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name the Lord in your presence. I will have mercy on you, on whom I will have mercy. And so they continue talking there. And that is another story. But let me tell you this God has said in the month of December, starting today until the 31st of December into 2026, my presence will go with you. Receive that in Jesus' name. Receive that in Jesus' name. Pastor Riggs, the presence, the hedge of God does five things. Number one, it protects you. Number two, it secures you. Number three, it covers you. Number four, it defends you from evil. And number five, it scatters your enemies before you. The Bible says, Let God arise and his enemies be scattered. May the presence of God go with you. But that there's a presence that secures. That's what I've been talking about. But number two, there's a presence that favors. Tell your neighbor, favor. Psalms chapter 5, verse 12 says this. Psalms chapter 5, verse 25. Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous. You surround them with your favor, as with what? A shield. Now, Pastor Riggs, you need to know that this is not a shield. You know, when you think of a shield, you think of a shield in front of you. The shield of of police during Mandamano. You see you see the shield in front of you. But this shield is not, this shield is actually a shield that can goes contact round Kabisa. So God shields you. And here it's saying, God shields you with what? With what? With favor. Look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor you do not only have electrical power, you also have favor. You see, the presence of God releases favor. Some favor. This is what happened to Joseph in Genesis 39. So let me read those verses quickly. From verse 2, the Bible says that this about Joseph. And by the way, Joseph had been sold in a foreign country. He didn't know what to do. He's away there and he's just stuck. But the Bible says in verse 2, the Lord was with Joseph. In other words, God's presence was with Joseph. And because God's presence was with Joseph, he did what he prospered. I'm talking to somebody today. And I'm saying, your prosperity is not in the bank. Your prosperity is in the presence of the Lord. So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor, you look favored. Hallelujah. Now tell that neighbor who is convinced, the one who is doubting, don't talk to them. Talk to the one who seems convinced. The presence of God really favors you. This is the blessing that never stopped flowing. The God's favor. Let me finish this. The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered. And he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him, that's another statement of presence. That the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did. Joseph found favor in his eyes. Now, some of you always read this verse in Luke chapter 2, verse 52, that says, And Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man. Let me tell you this: this month of December, may you not only have favor with God, may you also have favor with man at your workplace. In Jesus' name. Amen. May you get a surprise increment before the month is over. As you go for the holidays in Jesus' name. Somebody just looks at you and just likes you. They even don't know why they like you. Because you're carrying what? Favor. Joseph found favor in his eyes and became an attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household. Can you imagine? He became responsible. Give him, just go back. Potiphar put him in charge of his household and then trusted to his care a few things. Everything he owned. Can you imagine? He became responsible for great things. Favor will do that to you. From that time, he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned. Then the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. Let me tell you this. If some of you left your job today, that job will crash the following week. Because you're the one who carries the favor of that place. Some of you are not believing me. So let me tell you again. You cause your business to stand, you cause your job and organization to stand. So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor don't take me for granted. Tell your neighbor, I can cause your systems to crash. Hallelujah. Because you carry favor. The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and where? In the field. That's what the Bible says. Give me verse 6. The Bible says this. So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph's care. With Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. And then the Bible says, just an addition. Now Joseph was well built and handsome. You see, when you have favor, you look good. So look at your neighbor, tell your neighbor you're still looking good. Better than yesterday. And tomorrow you will shine. God's favor is upon you. In Jesus' name. Some of us have been looking good since January. Hallelujah. Tell your neighbor it's just favor. Tell your neighbor it is not makeup. Hallelujah. It's just favor. God is a good God. Hallelujah. You see, this favor was also found by other people. Give me this verse, Genesis chapter 6, verse 8, talking about Noah. The Bible says this about Noah. But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord. Look at verse 9. This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with who? With God. So because he found favor, he walked with God. And because you know, if you walk with somebody, you are in that person's presence. Another person who found favor is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Luke chapter 1, verse 30. The Bible says this about Mary. But the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary. You have found favor with God. I'm talking to a Mary here, and I'm saying, You have found favor with God. In Jesus' name. Abraham found favor. Let me read that verse. Genesis chapter 18, verse 3. Three men came to visit him. He didn't know that one of them was God. The Bible says, and he said, If I have found favor in your eyes, my Lord, do not pass your servant by. And you know the rest of the story. That's why when the Lord said, Your wife Sarah is going to have a child this time next year. I'm talking to somebody here that favor is coming your way. And this time next year, your story will be very different. Because the presence of the Lord will come upon you. Somebody better receive that. Somebody better receive that. This time next year, we'll be talking about a different story. In Jesus' name. May favor locate you. May favor find you. You see, there are five things that favor does because favor gives you access. Hallelujah. Joseph became the highest ruler of Egypt. Favor positioned him. Number two, favor gives you divine opportunities. May you receive those divine opportunities. Number three, favor gives you divine enlargement. Jabez prayed and said, Lord, bless me, enlarge my territory. Hallelujah. Some of you have only 10 clients per week. The Lord will enlarge you. You'll have 50 clients per week. In the name of Jesus. Somebody better receive that. He will enlarge your territory so much that you will need partners to help you. That's the kind of God we serve. I'm saying God will enlarge you in Jesus' name. Number four, divine favor. God's favor gives divine provision. God provides for you in Jesus' name. And then God gives you access through favor and releases divine prosperity. I'm talking to somebody saying divine prosperity. Let me read this story very quickly as we come to a close concerning one of the sons of Abraham, Isaac, Genesis 26. Let me go there. By the way, Genesis 26 is a very long, long chapter. But let me read these few verses. Now there was a famine in the land. Tell your neighbor there was a famine. Now today we say there was an economic challenge in the land. Amen. Now there was a famine in the land, besides the previous famine in Abraham's time. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines in Gera. The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, Do not go down to Egypt. Live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you. In other words, my presence will be with you, and I will bless you. For to you and your descendants, I will give all these lands, and I will confirm the oath I saw to your father Abraham. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed. And he says, Because Abraham obeyed me and did everything I required of him, keeping my commands and my decrees and my instructions. He said, Stay in this land. You know, there are many of us who are nomads. We move from one place to another. You get a job, it's a good job, but they are paying you 30K. And it frustrates you. After some time, you just take off. You get another job. They're now paying you 45K. Hello. And before long, two months have not passed. You are in another job. And God was timing to bless you in your first job when you're getting 30k. But the day he came to bless you, he found you had left. Hello? You had left. And so God is telling Isaac, stay here, stay in this land. Prosperity is not from this job. Prosperity is in my presence. I will bless you. And some of us, our CV is reads. Two months you're in this job, one month you're in this job, six months you're in another job. Your CV is amazing. And they look at it and say, You have been roaming around the earth. From one place to another. When God is trying to catch up with you, he can't find you. So look at your neighbor and tell your neighbor, God is going to find me. But some of you are saying, But this job is so frustrating. You don't know my boss. Let me tell you this: Joseph had a boss called Potiphar. And then he had a wife called Whatever. Hello. And before long, and I want to bless somebody and just speak to somebody. You know, when God favors you, problems follow you. Let me talk to the people on this side. Number one, be favored. Receive favor because it comes from the Lord. But then the devil becomes so envious that the devil becomes to become a distraction to you. Hallelujah. But of course, the devil doesn't know. You know, you know, he has a problem in his head. You know, the Bible says that Christ would crush his head. He has a mental problem. He never thinks. Because it was the same problem that took Joseph nearer to greater blessings. Greater blessings. He ended up in the dungeon. He got blessed in the dungeon. He he prophesied for some two guys. One died, the other one was promoted. Then he the guy forgot it for two years. But God remembered Joseph and God placed him at the highest place. There are some guys here, you lost your job, something went wrong, and you are in that dungeon. Let me tell you this nobody goes into the dungeon. We go through the dungeon. We go through the dungeon. Though I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy road and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my haters. Thou anointest. Come on, somebody. Amen. Thou anointest my head with the oil of wisdom, discernment, innovation, and creativity. Jesus' name. My cup overflows. Surely. Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. And the devil cannot tun me in any way in Jesus' name. This is your portion. So favor can bring problems, but favor will take you through those problems to a greater level, a greater place. I'm talking to somebody, somebody better have received that. But finally, tell your neighbor the presence that secures, the presence that favors, the presence that leads. Not kusoma, it leads. So let me read this verse. You know it. Psalms 23. Verse 1 to 3. The Bible says this. The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. Then he does what he leads me beside quiet waters. He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. This presence leads us. It leads us. Trust in God's leading. The Lord will guide you in parts of righteousness. And this month, in Jesus' name, when some relatives show up in your house unannounced, and they say, We have come to eat Christmas. That's what people from Western Kenya say. We have come to eat Christmas. Christmas is eaten. They show up without being announced. You don't know what to do. Remember, his presence leads us. And go to the Lord and say, Lord, they have come. What do I do? The Lord may give them nightmares that night. And they might may decide to just go back home, but leave it to who? To the Lord. Oh, the Lord may allow them to stay because there are some people who come, but they come with blessings. They just come with blessings. Some of them come with chickens, with goats, and just their presence is good. But there are some people, you don't want to be near them, they have an evil presence among them. They come to gossip, they come to tear people down. Ah, the Bible says such people run from them. But God's presence will lead you, God's presence will guide you. Allow him to do that because he's able to do that in Jesus' name. Tell your neighbor he will guide you. Tell the other neighbor he will guide you. Listen to this verse, and I loved it. Isaiah 42, verse 16. Let me read this because God wants to lead you in places you have never been. I love this. It says, I will lead. Now this is God speaking. I will lead the blind by ways they have not known. Along and familiar paths, I will guide them. I will turn the darkness into light before them. And I will make the rough places smooth. Let me tell you this God is about to smoothen your path. Some people, this year, your your your your life was just on a rough road. Then you can't go very fast. You enter portal. And if your if your if your car is too low, you hear things underneath you making satanic noises. Tell your neighbor, my car is being lifted up. Tell your neighbor I have a four-wheel drive in Jesus' name. The spirit is making a difference in my life. Tell your neighbor, no more. Go, go, go, go, go, go. Tell your neighbor it is. And who will make it happen? The Lord. Let me read that verse one more time for somebody who just missed it. Verse 16. I will lead the blind. And by the way, when it says the blind, it doesn't mean people who have challenges from saying, let me tell you this: all of us are blind. When I'm talking to somebody who is an IT expert and they're talking to me in their IT language, I'm completely blind. I have no idea when they're what they're talking about. When I meet a politician and they're talking to me about politics and issues like that, I'm completely blind. When I meet an Arsenal fan in Jesus' name, and they're telling me the matches they have won, and telling me who the who this the center, the the guy, the midfielder, the all these guys, and I'm wondering what are you talking about? I am blind to them, but the more I listen to them, I begin to understand Polypolis. They take me out of blindness to see. When I talk from Manchester fans, I will not continue. But as far as Liverpool is concerned, we don't walk alone. We are not doing very well, but we are still not walking alone. But the Lord is saying, sometimes you don't know what to do. You need a creative idea, you need a new thought, you need a new idea, you're blind. And then God says, I will lead the blind by ways they have not known. Along and familiar paths, I will guide them. I will turn the darkness into light before them. Suddenly it will make sense. And I will make the rough places smooth. Receive that. Receive that. God will take you higher and higher and higher. If you go to Wilson Airport, there are some planes when you get inside, they go around 25,000 feet. Those planes, my friend, sometimes it is a rough road. And your first seatbelt and bingoni. It is very different when you enter a 747 jumbo jet. Because that machine does not go at 25,000 feet. The highest it can go is around 39,000 feet. And all you're seeing, you're hearing is now somebody, some some of you don't know what I'm talking about. But I'm saying this month, may you have that experience. Talking to somebody in Jesus' name. Next year, may you fly. Tell your neighbor beyond. Tell your neighbor, I'm being upgraded to May you have that experience. God is good. You better give God another big hand. Tell him thank you. God will give you new strategies. Look at Proverbs 24, verse 5 and 6. The Bible says this. He will guide you into all truth. He says the white says, the wise prevail through great power. And those who have knowledge master their strength. Surely you need guidance to wage war. And victory is won through many advisors. God will give you counsel. Let me read that in the amplified version, just verse 6. Because by wisdom a house is built. It says this a wise man is strong. So just check if you're sitting next to a wise person and tell them, according to that verse, you are strong. A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge strengthens his power. For by wise guidance, you can wage your war. And in an abundance of wise counselors, there is victory and safety. The Holy Spirit will be your guide. Now don't go to magicians, don't go to suitsayers, and don't go to guys who read the horoscopes. Don't go to the newspapers and find, like some of us who are in December, we are looking at sagiteras. Others go to Leo, others go to Pisces. My friends, don't go to those demonic places. Let me tell you this. King Saul tried that. Now listen to what the Bible says because I'm concluding with this. It says this. Let me read it in that NIV. Just take it back to NIV. It says, Saul died because he was and faithful to the Lord. He did not keep the word of the Lord, and he even consulted a medium for guidance. Verse 14. And did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David, son of Jesse. Don't go to mediums. Don't go to people who make you walk naked and run around when the drums are being bitten. Don't go to those people. Don't go to people in Western Kenya and other places. They're called prayerers. They pray for you. Oh, as I pray for you, I see a grandmother in your line. A grandmother who hates you. Grandmother who is a witch. Tell your neighbor they are lying to you. Shindwa. Inquire who? The Lord. My friend, you'll be safe. Don't go to anyone who says, Come, I'll pray for you. I'll multiply your money. Your money is about to disappear. So I want people in Parky to be wise. So that I walk with wise people. Hallelujah. The reason why I'm wise is because I'm in a wise company. And the reason why you're wise is because you have a wise pastor. Hallelujah. So don't do what King Saul did. He he died. But let me tell you this: when God guides you, He will guide you into divine truth, He'll guide you into divine wisdom, He will guide you into divine paths, He will guide you into divine understanding, and then He will lead you and guide you to rest. You'll have peace that passes all understanding. This is your portion. Receive it in Jesus' name. Did you learn anything? Now stand on your feet as we give God the praise and give God the thanks and tell Him hallelujah. Just start saying hallelujah slowly. Just say it about ten times. Just start saying it. Obey instructions. Just that word, hallelujah, means praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. And so as we stand, I want to decree and declare this that the Lord will be a hedge around you. That because he's a hedge around you, he will protect you. The Lord will secure you. The Lord will cover you. The Lord will defend you. And the Lord will scatter your enemies. The Lord is the one who gives you favor. And so I decree that this favor will give you divine positioning. This favor will give you divine opportunities. This favor will give you divine enlargement. This favor will give you divine provision. And this favor will give you divine prosperity. This is your portion in Jesus' name. The Lord will guide you. And so I decree and declare that as the Lord guides you, you'll enter into divine truth, you'll enter into divine wisdom, you'll enter into divine parts, you'll enter into divine understanding, and divine rest will be your portion. Receive this in Jesus' name. Come on, let's give God another big hand. We also declare that every day of this month will be an open door into God's goodness and into God's mercy. That as you travel in the city, in the countryside, God will surround you with his presence. I'm talking to you who is online, I'm talking to you who is at the pavilion and in the parents' room. May this blessing cover you. The Bible says, He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide under the shadow of the Almighty. We shall declare together that the Lord is our refuge, the Lord is your refuge, the Lord will provide for you. And maybe sometimes the month of December sometimes can be very challenging. It can be lonely. But the presence of the Lord will be with you. Sometimes your provisions can be very low, but with his presence in your life, you'll be well provided for. So receive this blessing. I want you to say this with me loud and clear. Heavenly Father, I thank you. Because this month of December, I am blessed. I am favored. I am secured. I am guided. Your presence is around me. Your presence goes before me. Your presence comes behind me. Your presence stands beside me. Underneath me are the everlasting arms. This is my portion in Jesus' name. Amen. Yes. So remember as we release one another, this is going to bless you, the planner. It comes with a complimentary gift. Remember to connect to the new version for the no limits. Remember the cross. For those who are still giving out the cross, please remember that and share that message with somebody during this Christmas holidays during this month of December. Those celebrating birthdays this December, may God just give you gifts. In a big way. Hallelujah. You better come back here as you release us in the benediction.
SPEAKER_00:Can you appreciate our senior pastor? Thank you. Thank you so much for the word. And what is our takeaway home today? The presence of God does what? The presence of God secure us, eh? Eh, to favors us, eh? Leads us. Can you appreciate God that you will allow the presence of God to walk with us, to lead to his presence to favor us, to secure us, to favor us and to lead us. Praise God. And we are not going to soothe say us. We will stand with the Lord and we will carry us through. So we are going to pray and to tell God to walk with us. Even as we go out, as we have been reminded, Christmas is a time of giving, but also Christmas can be very tiring. It can be really draining. So take care so that the Lord can carry you through during the season of Christmas. Let us pray. Our Father and our God, we are very grateful that Lord Almighty, you are always with us, Jehovah God Almighty, reminding us of your goodness at all times, my God, that you always walk with us, my Father, building a hinge of fire around us, Lord of glory. And my Father, that you will always secure you always secure us. And Lord, your favor will always go with us, my Father. Sometimes things can look very difficult, but Lord, we are declaring that your favor will continue to be with us. And Lord, you are you will always lead us through our parts of righteousness, Lord. That my God, for your namesake, my God, we shall be able to go through any challenges of life, even during this Christmas, that it will not be overwhelming for any one of us. We will be able to enjoy our time with our families, with our friends, and those who are around us, Lord. And therefore, even as I release these, you are people, God Almighty, for the week, I declare that, Lord, I declare your word to them that may God bless you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you in the name of the Father, in the name of the Son, in the name of the Holy Spirit, and God's children said, Amen. And now let us share the words of grace together now with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Be with us now and forevermore. Amen. God bless you ever know some or some week.
