The Word Of The Lord (A Prophetic Message To The Church) by Apostle Selman
With hands lifted to heaven, make this declaration of faith: I am available to be used by You. Make me, mould me, anoint me and send me.
With hands still lifted, ask God to give you an encounter, that this shall be no ordinary service for you: an encounter that will grant you access to wisdom, light, grace, empowerment and faith.
Without the presence of God, there is no Church, although there might be spiritual activities.
What gives value to our time in Church, is the presence of God.
“Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.” Exodus 33:13-15 (KJV)
The presence of God is everything. You shouldn’t just make moves in life on the basis of the chronological passage of time, rather your actions should be because of the assurance of the presence of God.
Prayer: Lift up your hands to heaven and ask for the presence of God.
For someone, I hear in my spirit that The Lord is ministering to you: “Trust Me!“, He says.
The cure to fear, doubt and unbelief is to trust God.
A prophetic word for someone: “When you keep it, you will lose it, but when you release it, I will preserve and multiply it”, says The Lord.
Sometimes, we don’t fully understand what happens when we take moments to stand in God’s presence, and worship Him.
In God’s presence, burdens are lifted, fear is lifted, direction comes, stability comes.
There are transitions that happen in the presence of God, when we stay until we become that fire and that river that flows from us through to nations, communities, continents and congregations.
Prayer: Father we pray that we never get familiar with Your presence. Teach us Your ways, show us how the anointing comes, show us how power comes.
Open our eyes that we may see. Bring us to a realm of mastery. Enlighten us by The Spirit, and impart upon our destinies, that we may bring You glory, in the name of Jesus.
Dominion in God’s Kingdom is a consequent product of light (revelation), and not just light, but light that is adequately communicated.
Whenever we come to the presence of God, we receive this light that transforms us, until we become witnesses.
It is important to understand what God is doing per time and per season.
Your excelling in this Kingdom doesn’t only depend on your understanding of the scriptures, but also your understanding of what God is doing per time and per season.
A lot of people despite not being backslidden, they become inert, although not irrelevant, because they fail to understand what God is doing per time.
Three Channels That Help Us Know The Will Of God:
1. Through the scriptures.
2. Through the revelatory ministry of The Holy Spirit.
3. Through the prophetic.
The attention and power of God follows His will.
To know where the power of God is per time, you must find out what His will is.
“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.” – 1 Chronicles 12:32 (KJV)
A generation that does not understand the advantage of the prophetic, will miss the program of God in their lives.
Sadly, the concept of the prophetic has been so abused, and people now shy away from and shut themselves out from prophetic teachings and speakings.
Four Areas Of Focus Of What God Is Doing Across The Nations:
1. A purging and purifying of vessels that will be used for the end-time, with emphasis on Priesthood (Jeremiah 2:1-8).
God is working on the hearts of people, deadening flesh and causing them to be spiritual. He is building men and women of stature, and leading them to return to the place of prayer.
It is one thing to be available, but it is entirely another thing to be usable. Availability doesn’t equate usability.
There are conditions and standards that must be met, to make a person to be usable by God.
In the season of purging and purifying, it is not unusual for God to make heavy demands on you.
The reason is usually because “New Wine” is coming.
Declare: “Lord, purify me.”
It is inaccurate to say you give your life to Jesus Christ. Rather, what happens during the salvation experience is that you receive His life.
The language of surrender is the dealing that produces power unto service.
The degree to which you align, is the degree to which the glory of God will be revealed in and through your life.
The degree to which the glory of God is revealed through your life, is the degree to which you have died to self, ambition, dreams and ego.
It is a blessing to be chastised in correction and pruning by God: it is proof that He loves you.
When you pray the prayer asking to be used by God, what happens next, is not the arrival of the anointing. Rather, what comes is The Refiner’s fire, coming to prune you in preparation.
When God calls you, He doesn’t call you to the nations. He calls you to Himself, and then He sends you to the nations.
Three Levels of The Anointing:
1. The Anointing within (comes upon Believers when they come into Jesus Christ. It helps them build character.
2. The Anointing that comes upon the Believer’s office in destiny, when they find their place in God’s prophetic programme; the engracing that comes upon, to serve.
3. The Anointing that comes upon you, because you have, through the sacrifice of alignment, discerned what God is doing.
Those who go through The Refiners fire, are people who are not easily distracted by success or failure.
This dimension of revival is for vessels and not celebrities. For as long as a Believer has a “celebrity” mentality, they cannot be a part of God’s end-time strategic program. God is looking for people who are serious with fire and grace.
The men and women whom God is raising in this season, will be people who are completely sold out to Him.
Many times, we fall into the trap of marking our own scripts and grading our performances. We become clothed in self-righteousness, yet wondering why God is not using us.
We must be about the business of forgetting the little things that God has done through our lives, and submit to the current dealings of The Spirit.

God has standards. It is in the character of God to use people who are seemingly unqualified by the standards of men, to fulfill His prophetic program. This is because when such persons have been lifted, they never forget that it was the hand of God that lifted them.
I pray for you: May God find you, prune you and shoot you like an arrow, causing you to do much for the Kingdom, in the name of Jesus Christ!
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils” – 1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)
I sense in my spirit that as I teach, God will be doing a selection of persons through this message, and calling them into deeper experiences.
The price to see and the price to rise, is “death”: death to flesh and death to self.
Four Areas Of Focus Of What God Is Doing Across The Nations:
2. God is bringing upon the body of Christ, higher levels of illumination, understanding and wisdom.
Light (revelation) in the Kingdom is a system of transportation: it is like a vehicle that transits people to dimensions.
There needs to be a deep understanding of the mysteries of dominion that will make for our victory, because of the days to come.
There are several keys that open up several opportunities in the Kingdom, but because of our bankruptcy of light, we have not come into this realities.
However, The Lord is showing the body of Christ mercy, as there is about to be such a hunger for The Word of God.
I announce to the body of Christ that in this season, The Spirit of grace is coming upon us in heavier dimensions, in the name of Jesus Christ!
For people who are scientists, don’t just leave tonight’s message for servants of God. Carry this message to your laboratories and trust God to open your eyes to see solutions to problems across the globe.
The body of Christ is not ineffective, the challenge is that we are not providing enough solutions to make the government believe that we are useful to our territories. Believers must learn how to translate what comes out of their secret-place into policies, products and services that will transform the society.
Prayer: In the name of Jesus, God will raise you to serve kings. God will grant unto you access to wisdom.
You will build businesses. I pray for you, let wisdom rest upon you.
Breathe Upon by Apostle Selman
Four Areas Of Focus Of What God Is Doing Across The Nations:
3. The Lord will be releasing like never before, abundance of Spiritual power (Micah 3:8)
Power is the force that compels compliance and the agency that enforces. Power is the ability to produce results, and the ability to compel change.
God is giving the Church the ability to not only speak, but to enforce. The proof of power is not just to speak, but to enforce.
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” – Acts 10:38 (KJV)
When The Holy Spirit comes upon an individual, He doesn’t just introduce wisdom to the person, He introduces power.
SCRIPTURES ON POWER
“But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.” – Micah 3:8 (KJV)
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” – Acts 1:8 (KJV)
“and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,” – Ephesians 1:19 (KJV)
It takes time for power to come.
It doesn’t just come at the instance of desire.
Power comes in the place of consistent consecration.
In the waiting season, you will only be comforted by the presence of God, because you might not hear His voice.
Waiting is the hardest thing for anyone to do, because it demands faith.
Father in the name of Jesus, I decree and I declare, as power is released by The Holy Spirit, the portion of grace that is needed for Your children’s excelling, may it rest upon them now.
Four Areas Of Focus Of What God Is Doing Across The Nations:
4. Prophetic Commissioning.
This is specially for those who have been in a season of training and hiding: they will be ending their season of waiting and training.
The character of God is to train and qualify His vessels, but prohibit them from manifesting for a season, until He deems them ready.
#ApostleJoshuaSelman
Prophetic Word: There is about to be a shift in the spiritual climate and many offices in destiny will be left vacant as some fathers transit in death, to glory.
For the people that God has been training to take up those vacant spaces, they will seem ordinary and unknown.
The proof of success is not in your greatness, rather it is in your ability to raise people who are greater than you.
When we see a new way people will be doing ministry, we must be very careful to not judge the new, using the familiarity and understanding of the old.
There will be people like “Annah the Prophetess”, but there will also be people like the “Madman of Gadara” whom God healed and made evangelists of the Decapolis.
We must understand that Satan can never empower anyone to bring people into God’s Kingdom. So a person who’s influential over ten cities and converting them to Jesus Christ, must surely have God’s hand on them.
Tonight’s sermon is not for everyone; it is for those who are passionate about God and His program.
My assignment today through this sermon is to announce this clarion call of what God is doing prophetically.
Be careful to not be hard in judgement and criticism on the fathers and those who’ve gone ahead of us.
When it comes to the seasons of refining, purifying and manifesting, there are no champions. Everyone will be needing of the mercy of God.
If you can, make contact with someone by holding their hands, and speak the blessing of God over the person, and by extension, the body of Christ.
Release the grace to plunge into this prophetic word that has been declared through today’s teaching.
Pray for grace for the body of Christ to remain humble and yielded to God, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Father, we pray that beyond the differences and prejudices, beyond the differences in our leadership style and administration, may we lift up the banner of the name of The Lord Jesus as our point of unity, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Lift your hands and bless the name of The Lord for the amazing things He has done for us in this season, and all through the Sound Of Revival Conference in Calgary, Canada.
I decree and declare the blessing of The Lord upon you. I pray for you, that every blessing that came from the Sound Of Revival Conference, up until this service, let it speak evidently in your life.
I speak over our global family, the months of September, October, November and December will be good news all the way. Let it be a marvelous manifestation of the hand of God in your life, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I decree and declare that weeping comes to an end! Crying comes to an end! Shame comes to an end! Losses comes to an end! Disappointments come to an end! For your shame, receive double honour, in the name of Jesus Christ!
I declare that your prayer-life remains on fire, from glory to glory, in the name of Jesus Christ! Your love for Jesus Christ remains on fire, your passion and appetite for The Word of God remains on fire, your love for the house of God remains on fire!
For those trusting God for something, receive your miracles in the name of Jesus Christ! For those trusting God for increase, receive increase into your life: I speak increase to your finances.
I bless every territory that makes up Canada, and other nations of the earth, be blessed in the name of Jesus Christ!
I speak over the spiritual airwaves: we decree and declare that you will host possibilities of God and deliver them to every family, every region and every business in the name of Jesus Christ!
Africa is blessed!
Nigeria is blessed!
Ghana is blessed!
South Africa is blessed!
America is blessed!
Asia is blessed!
South America is blessed!
Europe is blessed!
We speak the blessings of God upon the nations of the earth, and let it be for us from glory to glory.
For all of you who have prayed, sown, given, and laboured for the Kingdom, may The Lord increase you; may He recompense you, in the name of Jesus Christ!
We are in the days of His power and this calls for personal revival and spiritual awakening.
Are you yet to heed the call of Jesus? Tonight, He is reaching out to you once again, ready to show you a path that leads to life and eternal glory.
Take this bold step of faith and begin the journey of salvation by saying “yes” to Jesus Christ. With faith in your heart, declare this prayer of salvation to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
If you’ve made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior tonight, we celebrate you, and Heaven rejoices with you! We would love to hear from you and walk alongside you on your new Christian journey.
