This message is for you if:

  • You keep hearing negative voices telling you you're not good enough
  • You know what you need to do but can't seem to start moving
  • You blame others or circumstances for why you're stuck
  • You need to stop waiting for permission and take action

Satan Attacks Your Heel, Not Your Head

You are not weak. You are not powerless. But there is an enemy who wants you to believe you are. In Genesis, God told Satan something that Satan has never forgotten: 'She will crush your head, and you will strike her heel.' Satan cannot touch your mind, your heart, your hands, or your mouth. What he attacks is your movement-your ability to step forward and act.

This is why you feel paralyzed. It is not because you lack power or direction. It is because Satan has convinced you that moving forward is impossible. He whispers: 'You already failed. You're not good enough. Wait until everything is perfect. Listen to what others are saying about you.' Every time you listen to his voice instead of God's voice, your feet stay planted.

God Already Gave You Everything You Need

Acts 1:8 is clear: 'You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.' Notice the word used is 'dynamis'-the same root that gives us the word dynamite. You have already received this power. It is not something you are waiting for. It is not something you need permission to claim. You have it right now.

The problem is not that you lack power. The problem is that you are listening to the wrong voice. Satan tells you that you are weak. God tells you that you have already been anointed. One of these voices is lying. The question is: which voice will you believe?

Stop Blaming Others and Take Responsibility

In Genesis 3, when God asked Adam what happened, Adam did not say, 'I made a mistake.' He said, 'The woman you gave me-she gave me the fruit.' Eve did the same thing: 'The serpent tricked me.' Both of them blamed someone else. And both of them stayed stuck.

You are where you are because of the choices you made. Not because your parents failed you. Not because your boss doesn't see your value. Not because the economy is broken. Not because someone else ate the bread that was meant for you. Every time you blame someone else, you give away your power to change your situation. God says to you what He said to them: 'You did this. You are responsible for this. And you are responsible for moving forward from here.'

Listen to God Directly, Not Broken Telephone

Your pastor is a broken telephone. Your friend is a broken telephone. Your family is a broken telephone. What they tell you is filtered through their own fear, their own experience, their own understanding. God does not speak to you the way He speaks to someone else, because you are not someone else. Your pain is not their pain. Your calling is not their calling. Your power is not their power.

When you read the Bible, do not read it like a storybook. Meditate on it. Ask the Holy Spirit to open it to you specifically. Ask God: 'What are you saying to me? What do you want me to do? Where do you want me to move?' The only way to get speed is to hear from God directly. When you do, you will know exactly what to do next, and you will stop listening to the voices that keep you stuck.

Count Your Steps and Know Where You Stand

Job said, 'My feet have closely followed His steps and I have kept His way without turning aside.' Then he asked God, 'Did you not see my ways and count all my steps?' This is the key: before you can move forward, you have to know where you are standing right now. If you want to be debt-free, you must know exactly how much you owe and how much you earn. If you want to reach a goal, you must count the steps between where you are and where you need to be.

Satan keeps you stuck because he keeps you confused about your starting point. You do not know your actual situation. You do not count your steps. You just feel lost. But when you get honest about where you are, when you take responsibility for your position, when you count what you have and what you owe, suddenly you can see the path forward. And you can start moving.

Receive the Anointing and Move in Speed

Anointing always happened when someone was being lifted up-never when they were being cast down. When Aaron and his sons were anointed, they moved from outside the priesthood into the priesthood. When David was anointed, he moved from shepherd boy to king. When you are anointed, you move. That is what anointing does.

You do not need more information. You do not need another book. You do not need another seminar. You need to be anointed. You need to connect directly with God, receive His power, hear His voice, take responsibility for your life, and move. When you do these things, speed follows. Your next project happens faster. Your next promotion happens faster. Your next healing, your next breakthrough, your next step into your calling-all of it happens faster. Because you stopped listening to Satan and started listening to God. And you started moving.

"Satan doesn't have a hold on your mind, your heart, or your hands-he only restricts your movement, and only because you believed him when he said you couldn't move."

- Pastor Ricardo Zaal

Key Takeaways

  1. God's Power Is Already Yours You do not receive power in the future. Acts 1:8 says you already have it. The Holy Spirit has already anointed you with dynamite-level power to overcome temptation, resist sin, and walk with God. Satan's entire strategy is to convince you that you do not have what God says you already have. The moment you stop believing Satan's lie and start believing God's truth, your feet get anointed and you move forward.
  2. Personal Accountability Breaks Paralysis Every person who blamed someone else-Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the serpent-stayed stuck. The moment you stop blaming others and take full responsibility for where you are and what you do next, you reclaim your power to change your situation. You cannot move forward when you are pointing your finger at someone else. You can only move when you say: 'This is on me. I did this. I will change this.'
  3. Direct Connection to God Gives Direction Other people will always filter God's voice through their own fears and limitations. Your pastor, your friend, your mentor-they are all broken telephones. The only way to get clear direction and the speed to act on it is to spend time with God yourself, read His Word with the Holy Spirit's help, and ask Him directly what He wants you to do. When you hear from God, not from people, you will know what step to take and you will take it fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

I feel like I'm not making progress even though I know what I should do. Why?

Satan attacks your ability to move, not your intelligence or worth. You know what to do because God has given you the power and direction. But Satan tells you that you are weak, not good enough, or that something outside yourself is stopping you. The moment you stop listening to his voice and take personal responsibility for your own steps, you start moving. Count where you are right now, acknowledge your responsibility, and take the first step. Speed follows obedience, not waiting.

How do I know the difference between God's voice and Satan's voice?

Satan always adds a lie to God's message. God says you have power; Satan says you are weak. God says move forward; Satan says wait, you are not ready. God says you are forgiven; Satan says you cannot be forgiven because of what you did. The clearest way to hear God's actual voice is to stop listening to other people-even your pastor-and spend time reading the Bible yourself, meditating on it, and asking the Holy Spirit to speak to you directly about your specific situation. God will not confuse you. Satan will.

What does it mean to be anointed for speed?

Anointing always lifts you up to a new level-Aaron and his sons were lifted into the priesthood, David was lifted from shepherd to king. When you are anointed, you move forward at a pace you did not think was possible. Speed happens when you stop blaming others, take responsibility for your life, listen directly to God instead of broken telephones, and act on what He tells you. The anointing removes the attack on your heel. You start running instead of walking. Your next project, promotion, healing, and breakthrough all happen faster because you are finally moving.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Oh, there we go. The sound is on. Technology. Technology. There we go. So I just wanted to make sure that the sound is on because obviously it's no use of me saying something to you, but at the end of the day there nothing coming out So once again technology has failed me But let me start off by saying to you do you know that God has given us so many things in our lives that we ought to take for granted And one of the things that we take for granted is the fact that we have electricity. and where others doesn't have. And when the electricity is off, we soon realize, these are the things that we cannot live without. I mean, if you're looking at it, I'm not even going far. Have you ever get to a place where there was for two days, there was no bread or there was no food in the house? Then you tend to really appreciate whatever bread comes in after that second day, even if it's a dry bread, and I'm talking about dry, I'm not talking about even bread that had a little bit of butter or had a little bit of whatever, whatever, dry. You know how you appreciate that dry bread. And that is why I'm saying we take, sometimes we take things for granted. But we don't know that these are the things that is happening daily in our lives. And we don't see it happening. Just because you don't drive a smart car, just because you don't have a bigger car than somebody else, doesn't mean that there's not a blessing in your life. It doesn't mean that even though your clothes is a name brand, or let me say it's not a name brand clothing, but just the mere fact that you have clothes is already something else. and these are the things that we need to appreciate more with every day that passes. Every day when you wake up, you should actually be telling the Lord, wow, this is awesome. I have a breath of life that has come to me. I can feel that there's some air, fresh air. Open the windows and you will see these are the things that we take for granted. But this morning, I want to get back to my word. And the word is, I said to you, we're going to have a series on anointed feet for speed. Or let me say, it wasn't supposed to be a series. And then suddenly it became a series because I couldn get everything in one message Although my notes were like this short but the Spirit of God has opened up so many things that I couldn stop Because if I would have stopped, I would have stopped the flow of the Holy Spirit. And the flow of the Holy Spirit for me is more important than just the message that needs to be conveyed. because the message that needs to be conveyed should be a message that come from Holy Spirit and should not be a message that come from your mind. Because remember, your mind is the one that can put things together, but the Spirit of God opened it for you to get it open to others. So I'm just going to give you a quick breakdown of the message that I preached. So I started off by saying to you, the reason why your feet needs to be anointed is for certain things. And I've made the example of Jesus washing feet. And I've given you a few pointers at the reason why your feet needs anointing. Because if you're looking at it, the reason why Jesus was where he was is because of the anointed feet that he had. And I didn't even go into the scripture which I'm going to base my message on today. I've not even gone into that. I've just opened up the scripture for you on Jesus. And I said to you, the reason why Jesus has been going or been getting so far in life is because of this reason. I'm just going to give it to you quickly. Firstly, the number one reason, the number one reason that that is it was for humility and service so when you're looking at humility and service jesus humbled himself to wash others feet and that is why humbling yourself take you further in life god says says these words humble thyself in front of the Lord, by the side of the Lord, and he will lift you up. So meaning to say Jesus humbled himself before us so that we can be lifted. And so that he can also at the same time be lifted. Then the number two is it was it was not just a cleansing but it was a spiritual cleansing that he did And that is why he could go as far as he could because he cleaned somebody Then another one also was, and if you're looking at the spiritual cleansing, you remember when one of his disciples was saying, no, no, no, you're not going to wash my feet. I feel you are too higher than me for you to wash my feet and then Jesus said no no no okay this is paraphrasing I'm just using my own words so forgive me I'm trying to bring it down to your level or to a level that you makes understanding and then he said no no no you're not going to wash my feet and then you know what what what Jesus said if I don't wash your feet there's going to be a trouble There's going to be a problem. You cannot be having a part of me. So spiritual cleansing is to be a part of God. So anointing your feet is to have a part of God with you. And that is the spiritual cleansing and it will take you up or make you grow. Then, not grow, make you grow. So then we said it's because there was a lesson of forgiveness at the same time in that where Jesus was washing the feet. So meaning to say when we talk about forgiveness, your anointing lets you operate in forgiveness. Because if you're looking at it, imagine somebody knowing that somebody is going to betray you. But still in a forgiving sense, wash the person's feet. So that is a part of the forgiveness. And then it also said, I also said to you, it's also for an example for leadership. So the example for leadership is to make you understand that even though you are a leader, it does not just help you saying that I'm a leader. but at the end of the day, when you are a leader, you're not washing the floor. You're not cleaning the toilets. So you need to also show an example of leadership. Don't do what I say you should do. Do what I do. That's the difference between that. And that's what makes anointed feet. Anointing your feet helps you to help others so that you can be clean. And obviously, that is also according to the fulfillment of scripture in Psalm 41 verse 9. That's the reason why your feet needs anointing. So I'm just going to read Psalm 41 for you. And I'm not going to use my Bible today because I have so many scriptures and the time is sometimes so short that the scriptures, obviously looking for the scriptures or opening my Bible to get to the scripture will take a little bit of time and I can't tell somebody please open up scripture 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and then at the end of the day there won't be enough we're not enough to to open up so many scriptures for everybody so I'm I'm going to use the Bible app on my phone to get to it quicker all right so let's let's just read some and i'm reading psalm 41 and verse 9 now psalm 41 verse 9 says this yeah my own familiar friend in whom i trust which did eat of my bread and lift up his heel against me so you remember i talk about the the i talk about the anointed feet and when i talk about anointed feet a part of your hill i mean a part of your feet is the hill so so which which jesus jesus then had to uh had to do this washing because it's also or we need the anointing so that it's a fulfilling of the scriptures so your familiar friend will be the one that will get you into trouble for some reason but for you it's the reason why you're not going where you're supposed to go because of one of the friends that were eating with you was saying something to somebody so you need anointed feet to to let you see these things so that it can loosen your feet and move forward then also i said to you i said to you so that is that is the one um i'm just giving you a brief on that one but when it comes to the to humility and service it's very important because that symbolizes the the the the the the the how do you say that symbolizes our following of jesus because when we follow jesus um who is our forerunner meaning to say that if you want to become whatever you want to become in life you need to be following Jesus You need to be following Jesus. So that humility and services gives unto Jesus. The spiritual cleansing obviously help you there. And then the lesson in forgiveness. Then also I said to you, it's very important for you to do extra things like Jesus did. So the extra things that Jesus did, he actually showed you the compassion and the love for others. So for you to speed up things, you need to show compassion to others as well. And then also for you to speed up things in your life, which is in this case, let me say, if you want to go forward, it's very important for you to understand that. If I can make an example of this now, if you want to get to a mountain, the easiest for you to get to the mountain is actually helping others. And when helping others, you soon found yourself in the peak of the mountain as well. So helping others make the focus to not be on you. This is something that the Lord just opened up on me now, which I didn't previously mention. But why I'm mentioning to you this is because the Holy Spirit wants us to know this at this moment so that you can understand how it is to speed up your process, to speed up your feed so that you can move closer to where God wants you to be in a quicker way. And I might be rushing through things, but I just want to make sure that you do have all these things within a short space of time so that you can get it. So what I mean by this is that when you're looking at it, serving others takes a lot out of the me, because most of the time it's all about us. You remember when, or let me rather say, Do you know that when you focus a lot on yourself, you tend to, but I don't have, I don't have, I don't have. While you're supposed to focus on others and actually see that it's easier from a bird's eye point, how do you call it? With eager eyes let me say it that way With eager eyes you can see others situation easier and when you see others situation easier the outcome for them you soon get an outcome for yourself as well So that is what God wants us to know this morning. So that is why serving others helps you to go faster where you need to be. Then also, when you want to go far in life, You need to be united in humility with others. So what I mean by that is Jesus put himself to be lower. And when you wash somebody's feet, for some reason you cannot be higher than his head. So it means that you need to lower your head to wash the feet. And lowering your head is a sign of a servant to his master. And that is the reason why for you to unite with others is to come down in humility towards others. And that uniting makes you to go further and faster in life. Then I said to you also, bear one another's burdens. What I mean by that is that if your brother doesn't have the food, it's easy for you to say, okay, but I have one slice of bread. Let us just rather share the one slice of bread so that both of us have something to eat so that both of us doesn't go. And if the other brother have one piece of meat, it means that instead of you having only a bread and he only have a meat, you both have on both sides, both, there's a word I'm looking, no, nutrition, that's the word I'm looking for. Both nutrition, Because if you're looking at the bread for argument, bread doesn't have protein while chicken have protein. Just an example, but what I'm saying is carrying one another's burden, helping each other, making things better. So that's how you go faster in life. And if I can go back and I can show you when it comes to the Jewish culture. The Jewish culture is like this now. That is why Jewish they always keep the money flowing within themselves So what I mean by that is the Jewish guy will be a carpenter but what he will do is he will never do his own car mechanics he will not because he a carpenter he will make sure that the the guy who is a mechanic needs to be paid for the mechanic work and he as a carpenter the guy that that is the mechanic know that he should be coming to the carpenter for his work. So it's a specialized industry. They in all of them, they making sure they specialize in one specific thing and for others to come to him. And that is, that is what helps bearing one another's burden. So what it means is that it's an exchange. So that's bearing one another's burden. And for some reason, I am trying to rush through this, this but it's like the holy spirit is just keep on telling me say this do this that just so that you can have a clearer understanding of of what i've been talking about for the past two weeks and then i also said i also said to you that if you want to go in speed or if you want if you want want to move in speed you will always when you do whatever i've just said to you now you will always get a blessing on that now blessing on that i'm i i was reading to you the x2035 where i said by giving generous generously and giving the extra mile we are blessed in return, experience the joy and fulfillment that come from selfless service. Come from selfless service. So let me quickly, I think I should be going to this scripture as well, just to give you an understanding what it says specifically. When you read Acts, and you read Acts 20, and then from 20, we only read it 35. Now, 2035 says, I have showed you all things. How that's so laboring you out to support the weak. So what he says, I showed you that you're laboring you out to support the weak. So meaning to say that the person that is weaker than you, you are picking up that person. and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said it. So, so, so, so what did Jesus says? Now, when you pick up somebody, he said it is more blessed to give than to receive. So, which means that if you give to others, the speed that you give, I mean the speed that you go, it's determined by the speed you help others. So meaning to say that the more that you help others, the quicker you can become where you want to become or what you ought to do. So these are the reason why anointed feet is so much important for you. When I take the time today and I want to confirm with you, I'm definitely going to use the time today to anoint your feet for speed. Because now I'm going to go into, I'm also going to tell you, there's another thing that I was also saying about the feet. Now when you're talking about your feet, the Bible uses your feet as a moral conduct. What I mean by that is that when you're looking at Psalm 73 verse, let me read two only, Psalm 73 verse 2. But as for me, my feet has almost slipped. I had nearly lost my food. No, no, no. This one will be better explained if I do the full one. Surely, if I read from verse 1. Surely God is good to Israel. To those who are pure in heart. Okay? Then he says, but as for me, my feet had almost slipped. I had nearly lost my food. hold. So the reason why you are where you are is because your feet has slipped. You nearly lost your foot hold. That is the reason why you are where you are. For the reason is, for I envied the arrogant when I see this prosperity of the wicked. So anointed feet helps you to actually see that you should not be envying a wicked one. So that is a moral conduct. And if you go back to Job, where Job says, my feet have closely followed his steps and I have kept his way without turning aside That is what Job said Now why would Job say that my feet have closely followed his steps and I have kept his way without turning aside He means that to be righteous is that you need to walk in the pathway of God, what God is telling you to do. So we have our follower that already helped us. Job didn't even have a Bible at that time. remember this Job didn't have a Bible we have a Bible that somebody was written for us by the time Job was the time Job lived there was no Bible Jesus was not even there yet so what it means is that he had the spirit of God to walk with and no no no I will I will come back to this one now But what I'm trying to say is that the Spirit of God helped Job to walk closely and follow Jesus' step or God's step at that time. And then Job went on, on 35. He also talked about the feet there. He said in Job 31 verse 5, sorry. Job 31 verse 5 where he says, Do it not he see my ways? Now ways have to do with where you're going. And count all my steps. counting your steps meaning to say is how far or how close you go. You cannot know how far you have been going if you have not counted your steps as yet. If you are where you are, Oh, Holy Spirit, I love you. Wow, awesome. Thank you. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you. If you are where you are, The only reason You can know that you are going forward Is if you know where you are At this moment And only See how far you need to go Is to count how many steps You still need to go there Yo Holy Spirit I love this I love this Let me give it back again As what I've gotten it from You said Where I am and where I'm supposed to be, I first need to know where I am at this moment to count the steps that I need to take to get where I want What I mean by this or what what the spirit of god is meaning by this is just he saying to you that should you want to become financially free you need to know how much i owe at the moment how much i get paid at the moment how much it is going to cost me to pay off the debts in versus how much i get paid for so he means that where you are at the moment you need to take that i'm in debt with a million rent i'm getting paid a 10 000 rent 10 000 times how much is it for me to pay off that million rent so what it means is that I also can't be paying off a debt that much with only a 10,000 rent. The only thing I can do is trying to live by means of only using a 5,000 rent instead of the whole 10,000 to pay off that million. You understand what the Spirit is saying? He's saying to you that in Job 31 verse 5 do it not he seize my way and count all my steps. So meaning to say, God, count your steps. Already he counted your steps. And then he said, if I have walked with vanity or if my foot may have haste to deceit, let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know my integrity. So God knows, Even though you say you are a Christian And you know that you are not in right standing with God Even though you are not in right standing with God And you say to yourself You are a Christian Is God not counting your steps? Is he not saying to you But your ways It's a bit difficult from what I'm trying you to do Didn't I say to you I will direct your steps So this is what God actually is saying to us at this moment And that is what I said to you and I also made an example to you and I said to you that when you looking at what I spoken about last week I said to you Lao Tzu said a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step But then Lao Tzu stopped by saying single step And it means that you cannot be taking a thousand miles if only you're taking one step. It's not going to take you far. Then Larry Wolf come and he said, okay, no, no, no. If you've taken the one step It doesn't mean you'll take that Thousand miles Then he said a journey of a thousand miles Continues with the second step But then I'm saying to you But it's no use of you Taking the first and the second step A journey of a thousand miles Is actually Something That you should then rather say Let me take the fourth The fifth and start running instead of walking. Instead of walking, start running. Because that is the thing that will make you to go to that thousand miles. And the only reason you can go a thousand miles is if you look after your feet to carry you for that thousand miles. Does it make sense when I say if you don't look after your feet, you will not be able to carry that thousand miles it's not alright it's not alright because this thing doesn't say I'm busy okay doesn't matter oh i just wanted to check then when you don't look after your feet it means that you won't be able to go far because your feet needs to carry you further your feet needs to carry you further and i said to you remember isu and jacob where where um Is it Isu and Jacob? Yeah, Isu and Jacob, where the hill was taken so that he can't go further. That's the same thing that Satan is doing to you, because if you remember the scripture where God says that he said it to... He said it to Adam, no, no, no, he said it to Satan. He didn't even say it to Adam, he didn't even say it to Eve. He said it to Satan that they will tramp your head and you will hit their heel or you will bite their heel. So, meaning to say that you're not aware, that's the reason why you are where you are. Because you're not aware that Satan is having a hold of your hill for you not to move further. Because there's something that you're not knowing. And now I'm going to go on further. And I want to go further and then speak to you how you're going to gain the knowledge. to know why your hill has been on hold or why your movement has been hold for so long. And the first one is I'm going to read to you. And I'm going to read to you Genesis. Now, when you're looking at Genesis, and Genesis says this, and the man said, the woman thou has given to me, which is in 3 verse 12, and the man said, the woman thou has given to me, gave us to be with me, she gave me of the three, and I did eat, and the Lord God says unto the woman, this is this that thou has done, and the woman says, the serpent bequailed me and I did eat. Now, why are you telling or let me say why are you letting the devil tell you what to do? It's my problem. It's the reason why your feet has been stuck because he knows that when he speaks to you you will not go forward. When he speaks to you you will not know your worth Because the devil was told who you are at the time Because remember, this is what God said, And the Lord God says unto the serpent, He didn't even speak to you, Adam or Eve. He said, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle. Meaning to say that Satan, the serpent, has now been cursed above cattle. And above every beast of the field, upon the belly shalt thou go, and thou shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. So meaning to say he will be on his stomach going around. And I will put in enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, and it shall bruise thy head. So we need to say that we shall bruise his head and thou shalt bruise his heel. So what this scripture means, when God told me this, it was like, yo, yo, yo. It means that he will not touch my heart, my head, my body, nothing. It means that he will not touch my eye He will not touch my mouth But the hill Now when I talk about the hill It means that Satan doesn't have a hold over any part of your body Even though your mind can tell you something Satan doesn't have a hold of your mind This tells me That even if you want to do something He cannot stop your hands to do it Even if you want to say something He will not stop your saying But he will restrict your movement So He will restrict your movement By going into the hill by going into the hill it means that it shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel Now the word bruise here also according to me is saying bruise is saying not entirely cut off, or not entirely dismantle, or not entirely taken out. Bruised here to me means that it's not a total destruction. It's not a total destruction. It's not a total destruction. And I want to just go quickly and get the word bruised here. now the word bruised is shoof so it shoof it properly to that at how do you call it to according to this bruised means break or to cover so the primary root for a root word for this the Hebrew word for it is to properly that is snapped at. So, snapped at. If you snapped at something, especially a leg for our argument's sake, if you don't break it off, it means that the leg can grow back. That is what my mind is saying. But if you're looking at it, Jesus was bruised for our iniquities. And when Jesus was bruised It meant he wasn't broken down entirely He could stand up and get up on the third day Your situation is the same You are just bruised You are not entirely hit on the head Where you cannot be going anywhere And that is what Satan forgot Now that is the reason why we need our anointed feet. We need our anointed feet. Let me start off by saying to you what is Satan telling you Because that is what he tells you. Now, this was a conversation between God and man. And if you can see, before Eve were formed, the man was there. Before everybody, Satan was also there. now when you go back to the Bible and you hear the conversation between God and man God was telling Adam about this tree not to eat off and when he spoken to Adam Adam had to convey the message to Eve. Not to eat the fruit. Now, if you're looking at broken telephone, the message never gets to a second person the right way or how it was meant to. If I tell you, I'm not even going to make a, let me make a real life example. Me, not English enough Said to my daughter yesterday You're not going anywhere this weekend You're coming home But in my mind when I wrote the message I wrote the message You're not going anywhere until I've spoken to you first And obviously How did the message get there? The message get there you're not going anywhere but because I wrote English and because she's English I wanted her to understand I made the mistake by putting you're not going anywhere without coming home instead of saying first use the word first so that makes the whole conversation conversation to be such a mess that she's all fired up and i can even see in her face in my in my spiritual i could see if she could have punched me in the face she would have done it that's how angry she was it got so angry that she even went to her mother all red in the face all teary eyes and I have not seen it but I know all teary eyes but mommy how can daddy and my wife started getting into the conversation and I said stay out because I know what was the reason I said it and that reason makes me to know the working of things but the communication was a miscommunication. So Satan wants the miscommunication because this is what has been told. Not to eat the fruit, the tree, I mean the fruit of the tree of life. That's it. That's it. But do you know, Satan come and ate his little devil tail. And he said, because he doesn't want you to know what is what's between good and evil. That is why he said to you, you must not eat. So the thing that you need for speed is never to listen to the devil. Because this is what the devil will always do. He will add a little sterky on the message. Now I'm going to tell you also what he tells you. And I'm going to go quicker because I need us to get this done. Number one, Satan will tell you, if you read Acts 1. Now Acts 1 and you read the verse 8. Acts 1 says, but you shall receive power. And after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and you shall witness unto me both in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth Now if you go to the word power there it's a word saying dynamis. So you shall receive power. It's like you shall receive dynamite. That's where the word dynamite come from, because of the power the dynamite have. He said to you, the force you receive, like the kind of force that you receive, the power when the Holy Ghost comes upon you. Now, you might ask, but why have I not received the power and I'm telling you, you have received it. It's just that Satan telling you. So when we are, we were literally anointed with power and it has been given us strength and power to obviously resist the temptation to overcome our sins. and to walk with God. That is what the power of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you tells you. Now, I am asking, now tell me Ricardo, what does it mean that when you say, when the Holy Spirit comes upon, but I have never received the Holy Spirit, I have not even heard the Holy Spirit, but didn't Amos said, I will pour out my spirit on all flesh. If Amon says on all flesh my question to you is are you a plant? Because you are flesh. Are you a plant? Because you are flesh. So it means that the spirit of God is upon you. If he says on all it means that the spirit of God is upon you. But Satan is trying to tell you you are too weak to go out there and be witness of me Number one although God has given you strength and power He tells you, no, no, no, it's not going to happen. You are weak. And you know what happened? Suddenly, somebody was telling you the day before, but aren't you supposed to be a Christian? Why are you having a sip of beer? Just the day before, because now the next morning you're supposed to be powerful. You're supposed to, how do you call it? Draft eight devils? Cast out. Yeah. You're supposed to cast out demons today. You're supposed to cast out the devil today. But then suddenly Satan is telling you Eh, eh, eh, bruh You remember Last night When me and you were alone there You were having a sip of beer You don't have power And that is even weak, ne? But there's other things that I'm not going to get into But I'm just trying to tell you Never to listen to Satan Because the moment you listen to him You will not hear the direct conversation to God. And that is the reason why we need to listen to God first before anything. Your man of God is a broken telephone. What he's trying to tell you is not what God is trying to say. Repeat. What he's trying to tell you is not what God is saying. Because it's deeper than what the eye can see, what the ear can hear. It's deeper because if I can tell you now, God to Adam spoke differently. But God to Satan, he spoke differently. God to Eve, he spoke differently. because it's three characters, different characters. My need is not your need. My power is not your power My mind is not your mind My ways of thinking is not your ways Anything I went through, you have not went through. Or you did go through some of it, but you haven't gone through the same as what I've gone through. That is why it's important not to listen to others but to listen to God spend time with God that is how your feet get speed that is how your feet get anointed if I need to take the time and go through a few things with you you will understand why? This is much imperative that you take time and read your Bible yourself. And when you read this very important to understand this. A Bible is not a history book that you read cover to cover and think that you know me. The Bible is a book that needs meditation. no not reading it like a storybook because if you're reading it like a storybook it will only be a story to you and a story have lies a lot of stories is made up every story that you've ever heard is made up this is not a story this is a book that needs to be meditated upon if you don't meditate on this word the word will just be a letter a letter meaning to say it has no oomph or power it can become a rhema word if you ask the spirit of God and ask the spirit open this word for me that is why there was an evangelist I think Ananias, if I'm not mistaken. It's Ananias or... Wait. There's a guy in there. He was reading, but for some reason, he couldn't understand what he's saying, so he asked somebody to... interpret for him what he's reading and the person came and interpreted i can't get to the guy's name now but i think he's a ethiopian is it an ethiopian no there was an ethiopian guy i okay but i can't remember the guy but what i'm trying to say is that the only way this words can be opened up to you is if you ask the Holy Spirit to help you to determine what is he saying there. The Bible says that there was two sons. One went out and he came back and we call him the prodigal son. One was sitting at home But The problem is He was so lost That he didn't even know That everything surrounding him Is his So who's the prodigal son? Who's lost in that situation? Because the one that went and he said Look, look, look I want mine Knowing what is mine So do you call somebody lost who doesn't know where he is at and what he has? He is not lost. So what it means is that he took and said to his father, Papa, please, whatever is mine, I want it now. And he went and squandered it. But when he went and squandered it, he realized that ah, no one broke again. So being broke again or not having anything, knowing where he come from, telling me that I have lost, but I'm not lost everything. I know where my father is I know where that fountain of everything was I know where to go and find it Unlike somebody that was sitting inside Everything surrounded by so many things And still did not know they have it That's the kind of word that God is telling you to look into It's only by meditation you can get the revelation And that is why you need to ask God God what is this saying to me specifically So by getting into God only listening to him is the reason why he can speak He can speak. And then it goes on there. You know what's the funniest part? is that if I go to Genesis 3 verse 8 Genesis 3 verse 8 says this word it says that and they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. How can you be able to run away from the presence of God? Isn't God an all over present God, omnipresent God? He's an omnipresent God. But here, they ran away. You know why they ran away? Because Satan told them Eh, eh, eh You know what? You are naked You are naked You know what? You are naked But because you are naked Now you are listening to Satan Where God has not told you that you are naked Isn't it that God wasn't the one that says You are naked They said it to God Meaning to say Somebody could have told them Somebody told them What it is It feels like You cannot come in the presence of God Because of what you've done in the past But I come to tell you now That the Bible also says this in Romans 8 verse 1 there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walks not after the flesh but after the spirit so even though the flesh may fail you the spirit might not Not might not the spirit will not So even though the flesh because we are human beings staying in a human world where we ought to do human things and we ought to sin, because the Bible says that we are all, we are all have sinned. We all have sinned. So you that say, I'm so holy, I'm not sinning. Please, God, get off your throne there, please, because you are the smaller God. You are not the God I'm talking about, because it's only God that has not sinned. You have sinned, and therefore, this is the reason. You are on this earth. You will make a mistake. You will forever make mistakes, and forever you will be the ones that will know that those mistakes has cost you. But those mistakes were the mistakes that actually stopping you from the presence of God. But to you, to speed up things, you need to tell God, I want to be in your presence. I want to be in your presence. And that's the only time my feet can move forward. because when Adam and Eve hear the footsteps of God he said steps let me go there again and they heard the voice of the Lord and the eyes of them both were opened and they knew that they were naked and they saw it themselves and they heard the voice of God walking God walking So How you Get feet for speed Is to make sure You speak to God directly Get voice from God Number two is to make sure that You're never out of his presence So when you're out of his presence It means that Your sins has become something that stop you from hearing what God is saying. So what it means by that is that that will stop you to go forward. Now what is happening after that is what has been said from Adam Because Adam says this. Okay, I am not getting this. Oh, yes. And the man said the woman thou has gave us to me To be with me She gave me the tree and I did it So the next thing for you To get speed Is to not blame others For situations that you found yourself in Because if you found yourself in a situation Where somebody gives you a beer And you know you feel it's wrong Is it the other person That drink the beer Or you that drink the beer If you need speed And somebody tells you Take this heroin This drug Knowing that that drug Will kill you Is it the person that did it Or is it you The responsibility You should be taking upon yourself For your own life And what I mean by that is that you are where you are because of yourself. Period. Don't tell me, no, but God didn't come through for me. God came through for you already a long time ago. It's just that you cannot see that He's there for you. But you know, my parents didn't give me money to go and study. How many money, how much money did you chop? where you could have used that to go and pay for the study fees. You eat it. So if you would have taken that 100 rand every time that you've been getting 100 rand, you could have spent it into your studies and could have been where you need to be. It's not your parents. Is it your parents' fault that the food was there, but you haven't eaten the food and you are hungry? no but mommy ate me mommy didn't give me the food that is why i'm still hungry please give me the food go and get the food yourself It's your responsibility to get out of where you are. The anointed feet is the reason why we are not where we are. Because Satan doesn't want us to know where we're going. And I want to tell you a few things. I've said to you number one God has given you the strength and the power already according to Acts 1 verse 8 then number two God can also guide you in our decisions but you need anointing first you need anointing first If I say to you, anointing helps us to know our strength and our power. If I say to you, anointing helps us also in our decision making. I want us to read Proverbs 3 verse 5 and 6. If God has anointed you, you will understand this. Proverbs 3 verse 5 and 6 says this Trust in the Lord with all thine heart And lean not unto thy own understanding And in all thy ways acknowledge him And he shall direct thy parts Anointing will direct your part It will give you a decision as to Is this right or that's right No this is wrong, that's wrong That's right That's how it will guide you The anointing can help us to know that God wants us to have a situation where we make the decision. We make the decision. But to make wise decisions is sometimes harder than to make the easier decision. Can I sleep in a little bit later? Easy peasy, pumpkin squeezy. You can sleep later, fine, no problem. But can you wake up three hours earlier? It's tough. So all the better decisions are harder to make Can I eat this sweet although my stomach is aching I eat it It's easy to make that decision because the sweet is going to give the benefit now. But for a long term, the tummy will ache. for a long term a food that makes you fat is quicker to eat it's easier on the on the taste buds but the one that is not easy on the taste buds is the one that is helping but the anointing and therefore we need the anointing or we need anointed feed to make that decisions. To make that decisions, that anointing, it can also comfort us. Anointing can comfort us. And the comfort that it gives us, the anointing gives us that comfort. If you go to Psalm 23, now Psalm 23 verse 4 says this, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy stuff they comfort me. So anointing will comfort you but only when you are in God. Because God is the one holding thy rod and thy stuff. God is the one that's holding thy rod and thy stuff. And this is my focus scripture for the day. I'm going over to the focus scripture of the day. Now the scripture I would like to focus on. Isaiah 61 verse 1. Isaiah 61 verse 1 says it this way. Isaiah 61 verse 1 says, The spirit of the Lord God is upon me. Remember what it says? The Bible says in Amos Neh, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. Now are you a tree No you are flesh Are you a vegetable No you are flesh So any flesh has the Spirit God says the Spirit of the Lord God is upon me And when He says He's upon me, because the Lord has anointed me, so He has anointed me. And when He anointed you, He anointed you to do certain things And for each and every one of us He had anointed us to preach the good tidings Unto the meek To preach the good tidings So there was somebody who said it It's not me, I heard it from somebody So please forgive me, I don't know who the original one is But somebody years before said it And everybody else just follow upon that person And I wish I can know Because I wanted to credit this person Because this person was literally, literally Hitting the nail on the head He said that the good news is most the gospel So the gospel is a pill To whatever you're going through But to me it was like Okay the gospel is a pill To whatever you're going through Was like wow That's a good saying I wish everybody can actually understand That the gospel Have all the medication that you need But unfortunately we don't Because if he has anointed us To do this And then he also sent us to bind up the broken hearted. So who is broken in heart so that we can help them? And who is in captive so that we can proclaim liberty? So where you have been holding by Satan, where you've been bind, your feet has been bind to move forward, I proclaim that you are loosened up in the name of Jesus. And then the opening of prison to them that are bound. And I going to stop here and says today I going to anoint your feet so that you can be moved to your next level That is why I'm going to stop. Now I want to tell you why you need anointing also. the anointing always happened where there was a lifting. It never happened where there was a casting down. If I can give you an example Exodus 30 verse 30 If I can If I can give you Exodus 30 verse 30 Listen to this Exodus 30 verse 30 And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons And consecrate them That they may minister unto me In the priest's office So meaning to say they were not in the priest's office They were outside the priest's office So to get to the priest's office You need anointing Then it goes on And I'm just going to go quickly Then it goes on to Samuel 1 Samuel 16 verse 13 says Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed David in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah. So what it means is that at that time, David was anointed as a king. So he was not anointed from a king to a shepherd boy, from a shepherd boy to a king. Then I go on and I say to you, Acts 10 verse 10. I want to read to you Acts 10 verse 10 as well. Now Acts 10 verse 10 says the following. Acts 10 verse 10 says, And he became very hungry and would have eaten. But while they made ready, he fell into the trance. He fell into a trance. So he was hungry. He was desiring something to eat. and he looked on her and he saw a vision plainly showing him a vessel like a great sheep descending from heaven by four corners and it came down to the earth. So that was a Something that transforming or maybe I should read it from it. And when he declared all these things unto them, he sent them into Joppa. And the morrow as they went into their journey and drew night into the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray upon the sixth hour. This is now Peter praying and he became very hungry and would have eaten. But while they made ready, he fell into a trance. Meaning that trance that they're talking about there, the trance is ecstasis. It's a displacement of the mind that is bewilderment. So it means that his mind was taken out of where he was and he saw heaven opened and certain vessel. Meaning to say a vessel is something that was a container. descending unto him as it had been great sheep nothing at the four corners and led down to the earth. So that was an anointing that he received on that time for ministering for him. And then John also said this, 1 John 2 verse 20 but you have an anointing from the Holy One and you all know it. So you are anointed and you know it. So wherever the devil has spoken to you, wherever the devil has told you something wrongly, I want to take this time now and tell you, by the anointing that is in this place, the anointing of God upon my life I will anoint each and everyone who is under the sound of my voice this morning And I will anoint your feet and you will be going in speed. Wherever you should be going, wherever you ought to go, this anointing will move you. And for those ones who are listening to me online and you want to partake on this, You can either send me an inbox Or you can just Put on this Chat or wherever you're listening from And say I want to partake On this anointing And I will pray for you All you have to do Is just get yourself A bottle of Anointing oil Whether it's the oil that you buy from Kumbuks or wherever Just get yourself oil And you know that God is an omnipresent God We've spoke about it God is not just here and is not there where you are God is an omnipresent God And therefore as we anoint our feet this morning The anointing that flows will also flow to you and you will be going out in speed. Your next project will happen fast. Your next promotion will happen fast. Your next good news will happen fast. Your next healing will happen fast. Your next movement to a promotion will happen fast. Your next movement to your new house will happen fast Anything that you desire will happen fast Your next monetary issues that you have will happen fast that it will take you out of that issues God is here to anoint you to go faster wherever you need to be. This morning, and I'm not going to take this any further, I'm just going to let us pray, and after the prayer, I will stop the love because I don't want everybody to be sitting where we are or take their time whilst we anoint others. But after this, I will anoint each and every one's feet that is here. So I'm going to say this prayer and I said, Lord Jesus, because we know that you are the perfect giver, the giver of life, the perfect one that anointed us and anointed us for a time like this. We take that same anointing that was bestowed upon you to go out and preach the good news. We take that same anointing and we lift up this oil and we say that anointing comes upon this. The same anointing that makes you to speed out of your situation of three days being in the grave. You speeded it up and you came out of the grave way before others could even realize you were dead. the same speed we pour into this anointing this morning the same speed that you have walked on this earth for only 33 years where others have walked for 70 but you have done more than what others have done that same anointing we put upon this in the mighty name of Jesus the same anointing that where others will take 140 years we only take 3 days to do that same speed we do in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior This morning I praying also Father God that as you were anointed to go on to be a curse for us we are receiving the blessing that you have given us by you being the curse for us. So that same blessing comes upon this anointing this morning in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Anybody who's under the sound of my voice, the same anointing will follow them as well. In the name of Jesus Christ, they will come and bring testimonies. They will tell about the goodness of God. After they've listened to this, they will talk about, wow, how God has speedily moved into their lives in the mighty name of Jesus. How God has ordained them to serve as priests. How God has ordained them to be kings. How God has ordained them to where they were hungry, they become full. Where God has gained them, where there was a counsel you buy from the gold refined by fire that you may be rich and white clothing to wear that your shame of nakedness may not be seen and anointed for your eyes to anoint them that you may see. So any eyes that hasn't been seen, I anoint them to see quicker. I anoint your ears to hear quicker what God is saying, what is the next direction. Your feet is anointed so that wherever you go, even though you heard it and you've not actioned on it, I anoint your feet to act upon it. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior this morning, I pray. Amen and amen. Now may the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit rest and abide with us all until Jesus comes. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. In Jesus' mighty name we pray. Amen.
