Build with Hari Rao

In the first few verses of Genesis 39, we read that the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. In this teaching, Prophet Hari enlightens us that it’s possible to have both the presence (of God) and be prosperous. By carrying the presence of God, we become carriers of blessings in our environment.Joseph was sold, brought as a slave to Egypt, and sent to work in Potiphar's household. Despite being a slave in an unfavorable system that wasn't designed for his benefit - Joseph was successful. And his master, a pagan man, recognized that the Lord was with Joseph and enabled him to succeed. He perceived that in order to keep prospering, he needed Joseph - the carrier of blessings.

Whilst a slave is not meant to rule, Joseph ended up being a ruler because the Lord was with him. There is a Presence that causes prosperity and the multiplication of blessings. When you come in contact with a person carrying that grace, you see the benefits of it in your life. Laban became exceedingly prosperous as a result of his nephew, Jacob, who carried the presence of God. Prosperity flows due to the Lord's presence being with you.

There is an identity crisis among the body of Christ today, with people forgetting who they are and what they are carrying. Even if everyone else regards you as a slave, if indeed God is with you - YOU ARE THE FAVOUR!  When you carry the presence of God into every place you go, you are the extension of God and the ruler of that environment.

Why do the heathens recognize the oil while we struggle to recognize our own? Potiphar was humble enough to seek the help from a young slave. We need to learn the art of asking for help. Help is not automatic; it takes greatness to locate the source of help and extract blessings.

Realities you should become aware of as a carrier of blessings:

 1.   Access: manage your access well

Gaining access to an individual who truly carries God is a blessing in itself. You enter the realm of blessings when you have access to a man or woman of God that carries heaven. Acts 10:25–33 describes the account of a man named Cornelius who understood that being in Peter's presence was being in the presence of God Himself.

Given that you are God's resting place, consider how you let people access to you. When people encounter you, they are encountering God. The dimensions in which you experience God are the dimensions in which people around you will experience Him. When you unlock a certain grace for yourself, then those that come in contact with you can access and receive from that grace. You carry God, and therefore your presence is precious.

God sends Himself by sending you; don’t make common what is holy; know who you are and conduct yourself worthy of the presence of God that is in you.

 2. Mindset: develop a mindset that is shaped by the presence of God

The mindset of a man of God that is shaped by the presence of God. This brings understanding, and being able to adopt that mindset is the greatest blessing. 

A mindset is learned and developed by a close walk and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Elisha asked for a double portion of the spirit of his father. You can be loyal and still lack understanding; ask the Holy Spirit to develop your mind.

 3.   Words: steward your words well

If you are a carrier of blessings, you communicate blessings by words. A man of God can bless you with his words. In 1 Samuel 3:19 we read that the Lord was with Samuel and let none of his words fall to the ground. When God is watching over your words, it comes with power. Don’t speak your feelings, you are called to lead your emotions, not to be led by them. Can your words become consistent with the words of heaven?

Child of God, function as a carrier of blessings!

When you are pursuing God, it's important to recognise which dimension of God you are going after. In this teaching, Prophet Hari brings a perspective and an  understanding, so your pursuit of the Presence and anointing of God is well defined.

In Acts 10:38, we read that God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power; there is an intentional distinction being made. The word 'anointing' is an action, where Jesus was being anointed with God Himself, the in-dwelling of the person of the Holy Spirit. There was a power that proceeded from the presence of God, which enabled Jesus to do good and perform miracles, because God was with Him.

When God is with an individual, there is evidence. Can you produce proof that God is with you? The Kingdom of God is not one of words alone but also of power and results. We must become a group of people that can produce tangible results.

There are two important aspects of God: 

The Presence

We serve an omnipresent God, but His omnipresence is not necessarily evidence that He is with us. The proof of His Presence comes when you have a personal awareness and an active relationship with Him.

When you are born again, the first dimension of God’s presence is being baptised in the Holy Spirit; God comes to dwell with and in you. You enter a relationship with God and now He becomes your Father.

The person of the Holy Spirit is the most precious gift a believer can have in their life. He is their protection and favour. God not only gives a perspective but the real person of the Holy Spirit.

The Anointing

After receiving the greatest gift which is the person of the Holy Spirit, comes other spiritual gifts. 

The anointing is grace from God that comes upon you to do things that weren't possible for you before. This supernatural grace has abilities, power and information attached to it. 

Children of God need both aspects; the presence and the anointing to be able to function effectively as a vessel that can be used for God. 

In Exodus 31, we read that God called a man named Bezalel and filled him with the Spirit of God and also with the wisdom and expertise required to build the Temple of God.

The presence of God feeds you whereas the anointing of God feeds others. The anointing is designed to flow from the inside to the outside; it's for function and for the benefit of others.The Presence is for you, for your personal victories, edification and growth in Christ. 

With the Presence comes the anointing and gifts, but you must never disconnect yourself from the Giver of the gift.

Sin and the Presence of God cannot co-exist, but the anointing works differently. An individual can be anointed and still be unable to overcome sins because of the lack of the Presence of God ministering in that area of struggle. 

Lucifer fell from the Presence of God but got to keep his gifts and anointing because the callings and giftings of God are without reproach. The reality is that it is possible for someone to lose the Giver and still keep the gifts; lose the Father, and still keep the inheritance.

When the gift is connected to the Giver, the focus is on the Giver. But when the gift is disconnected from the Giver, divine results can still be produced that appear like God but are not from God. 

We need the gifts and anointings of God but it cannot come at the cost of the Presence. May your life produce evidence of the Presence of God!

In today’s teaching, the Prophet teaches us on how to experience the presence of God and how to enjoy His divine fellowship and communion.
The God we serve is Holy and set apart; we can come to Him anytime, irrespective of our circumstances. Having the privilege of accessing Him is not common. Sometimes, we make the mistake of reducing God to our level and come to a place of familiarity. If you lose sight of Who you are approaching, then your preparation will be lacking. Familiarity kills the Presence. Never become familiar with the greatness of God. Just because we have full access to God through Jesus, we mustn't  dilute His availability and take for granted that we are approaching a Holy God.There is power in preparation and expectation. Your preparation is an indication of whom you are expecting to meet. Preparation is a secret to the Presence of God. The more aware you are of His presence, your body and attitude will respond accordingly. You can do things in the natural to tell God that you are ready for Him.Of all the things God can give you, the most valuable is His presence. The highest favour God can afford to an individual is Himself. What sets you apart is the presence of God in your life. The presence of God is inexhaustible.  

Three Keys to the Presence of God 

1. Set apart a time: Choose a specific time and dedicate that time to seeking God. 

2. Set a place apart to pray: Pick a location and consecrate that location; let it become your meeting place with God.

3. Intentionally disconnect from every distraction: Disconnect from the world to connect with God. If you are listening to this Podcast today, may grace be released to you for renewed communion and fellowship with God. 

While every child of God is equally loved and called by God, each person's experience and Christian walk is varied and therefore their trials and life situations are different. In this teaching Prophet Hari shares keys on how to access divine solutions. 

2 Keys to access divine solutions:

1.         Refuse to play the blame-game: Become a person that refuses to blame someone or something else for what is happening in your life. The moment you complain, you outsource the power to another to change your current situation.

Joseph had much to complain about; his brothers sold and abandoned him, he was falsely accused, imprisoned and betrayed, yet he refused to blame his circumstances. Instead, he put God above all his trials, and he functioned from a place of identity.  

The God we serve allowed the saviour that was to redeem mankind to be born in a manger. It's a good reminder to not allow your current situations to dictate the course of your life. Take extreme ownership of your God given assignment, refuse to empower situations and people. As a child of God things don't happen to you, they happen for you!

2.         Recognise the author of pain in your life: God does not take any pleasure in our suffering or lack in life. Our pain and troubles have an origin. What brings great deliverance is identifying the root cause. 

Two causes of pain that are more easily identifiable are the devil, or people. But foolishness and ignorance is a source of pain that causes the most wreck in the life of a child of God.

Have you authored your own pain? Although no one wishes to intentionally instigate it, the principles you operate in can ultimately lead to pain. The toughest individual to lead and deal with is yourself. If you fail to lead yourself it will be difficult to fulfill your destiny.

Ignorance will cost you. Most people suffer because they don’t know what caused their suffering. Ignorance postpones the knowledge of your pain. If there are areas in your life that are constantly in bondage it is because the truth and light of God’s Word has not brought illumination; those areas are still under the rule of ignorance.

Ignorance is a breeding ground for lies. Lack of knowledge and light is an invitation for ignorance and darkness. 

It is possible that you are an anointed individual but being anointed in one area doesn’t automatically make you skilled in all areas of your life. 

The mistake that this generation makes is outsourcing their growth and knowledge to others. They become comfortable relying on their pastors, leaders and mentors to feed them with all the information and they never go on a quest to enquire of the Lord on their own. 

Child of God, your growth is not someone else’s responsibility. Develop an appetite to grow in your knowledge and understanding of God and His ways. Do not be too proud to ask for help; pride will kill your help. Lack of passion toward understanding a matter will produce diluted results. 

Abraham was a man after God’s own heart. He unlocked and operated in principles and dimensions even without the help of all the resources we are privileged to today. There's no excuse not to know. Pursue the Lord, go after Him, give Him no rest until He responds.

In James 1:2, we are asked to count troubles as a joy as it brings about a testing of our faith. Patience is produced when our faith is tested. This patience, is a steadfastness, a spirit that is unshakeable and has an immovable knowledge of who God is. Perfection is a child of patience.

May patience have her complete work in you!

Hunger is a vehicle and a transportation system that moves you from one dimension to another in the spirit. In today’s teaching, Prophet Hari releases keys on how to have deep encounters with God. 

 Desire has the capacity to conceive and sin has a capacity to grow and produce its own results. God gave man the ability to have desires, but what was the intended purpose for it? The ability of Adam’s desire was for God, but when he fell, the system of desire changed. The fallen man uses it to satisfy what he wants in life, not what God wants. 

Temptation is a door to what you desire. Temptation becomes a door to access what you have been constantly desiring. There is a time frame when desire stays as just a desire but when you give desire time, it has the capacity to conceive and produce a sin. Sin is formed when an unregulated desire is given time and space.

No deliberate sin is accidental, it cooks up in the mind for a long time. Satan studies your desires and gathers information on what you like. Our life moves in the direction of our greatest desires. 

Each man is enticed and lured by his own desire and this desire. You will always find a way of satisfying your greatest desire. We are where we are because this is the level our desire has attracted. There is a system given to us by God to access realities and dimensions of grace - that is the power of redeemed desire. 

God gave us the capacity to desire so that we could use the desire to access things of God. We must redeem the function of desire and use it for the things of God.

Desire is not enough. The desires that are conceived are the ones that are constantly dwelled upon. Whatever is your obsession becomes your possession. Whatever you dwell upon continually is the dimension you will walk into. You become what you hunger for. The more you gaze upon Jesus, the more you become like Him. You become like the one you fix your eyes upon.

 If you are listening to this podcast today, God is giving you the ability to shift your pursuit of Him today. This is an invitation to encounter God in a deeper way.

In today’s teaching, Prophet Hari highlights the power a child of God possesses to overcome the kingdom of darkness. 

We derive our information from the Word of God; our focus is to become experts in the Kingdom of God and grow in the truth. 

Hebrews 11:3 and 2 Corinthians 4:18 describe two worlds; the invisible and visible. The invisible realm has influence over the visible world. Mankind was made to function in both realms, the only aspect of God’s creation that has access to and functions in both worlds. 

God is the author and the Highest Power in both realms. The Almighty God governs these realms by means of certain protocols and standards. The legal way of functioning in the Spirit realm is under the control of the Holy Spirit, adhering to the systems, protocols and standards. Therefore, anyone that accesses the invisible realm outside the Holy Spirit is functioning in the system of witchcraft. 

Witchcraft is a pathway where information from the invisible realm is tapped into and manipulated in order to change outcomes in the visible realm. It is accessing information through demonic spirits, evading submission to the Word of God in order to gain fame and power for their own selfish agendas. The serpent in the garden, manipulating man to get a certain outcome beyond the plan of God was a form of witchcraft.

Ephesians 6:12 speaks about wrestling against spiritual wickedness. A way of knowing if witchcraft is at work in a child of God's life is when they notice that there are powers trying to derail them from their God-given destiny, in spite of being submitted and surrendered to God's plan for their life. 

Witchcraft is communicated through words spoken in the visible or the invisible realm. Words are the highest form of warfare. When God has spoken a Word over you, the enemy's words are rendered powerless. God's Word is the highest authority. Get a Word from The Lord for your life, this is your protection.

When the enemy knows that his words are not working on you, he will try to cause you to live a lifestyle that is against the will and pleasure of God. When the Israelites couldn’t be cursed, the enemy plotted to cause them to sin in order for God’s wrath to come upon them. There is protection in living a holy and blameless life.

When praying, always consult God and desire to know His will, because praying and interceding above and beyond the will of God is a form of witchcraft. Our prayers and declarations have to be led by the Spirit of God.

Therefore, repent and disassociate yourself from any illegal covenants made knowingly or unknowingly. God has already given us arrows to use against every power of darkness.

1.    The Name of Jesus: we are given the authorization to pray in His name. Enforcing the highest covenant is our protection.

2.    The Blood of Jesus: we are washed by His blood and there is no claim the enemy can have over us. We are redeemed and protected through the blood.

3.    The Power of the Holy Spirit: the One that dwells in us. He is always present and never leaves nor forsakes us.

4.    Our location through Christ: we are seated in heavenly places, and functioning from that high position is our protection.

Child of God, all you need to defeat the powers of darkness and have victory is already given to you, begin to enforce your God-given authority.

When someone accepts Jesus Chris as their personal saviour, they are washed and redeemed by His blood and therefore one would think that all curses are broken automatically. If that were the case, then why is it that some believers suffer certain cycles of pain? In this teaching, Prophet Hari teaches us how to break demonic generational curses over our lives. 

A curse is a result of certain wrong-doing; there is a sin that produces a curse. There is an invisible force introduced because of certain sins in the bloodline of an individual. When a curse is in operation, there is a limitation that is put on you as to how far you will go. The limitation of these curses cannot be explained naturally. There are some sins that impact the timeline of a person’s life but there are sins that go beyond the lifetime of an individual and cause multi-generational curses. 

Some of your battles are not your own, they are battles you inherited. It is important to study your family line, for that you must study 2 things –

1. Study certain events that repeat themselves through generations 

2.  Study patterns of behavior that keep repeating themselves

When we see that it is unnatural to humanly orchestrate certain events, that is when you know there is an invisible force at work. 

The first step of deliverance is to become aware that you need deliverance in a certain area. The second step is to locate your help. 

What is required is for a man to take their position in Jesus Christ and declare that this pattern and sin must stop and not be permitted to go to the next generation. The power of the blood of Jesus is enough to break every curse and stop every cycle of suffering and pain. The enemy continues to fight us because of our ignorance and unawareness of the power of the blood of Jesus. It doesn’t matter how many generations a curse has been operating in your bloodline, all it takes is for you to invite the light of Jesus Christ in that area. Every curse in operation in a child of God's life is illegal. 

Curses continue because of the human potential to duplicate and multiply. Curses would not be possible if there was no power of multiplication. If the enemy can succeed in depositing a sin/curse in one generation, a human being has the potential to duplicate that sin and curse to the next generation. Similarly, if we can get God to bless us in one area, we can multiply and pass on that blessing to the next generations. Our job is to produce a blessing from the Lord, and the grace to produce a blessing then becomes part of your bloodline.

The enemy knows that he cannot operate in the child of God illegally for too long as sooner or later his lie will be exposed. The enemy will try to re-introduce the sin that brought the curse in the first place, he then has a legal right to allow the curse to operate in your life. We must be careful to not fall into the sins of our fathers.

Curses can come in two ways – they can come because of sins or evil covenants. 

There are sins that we commit unintentionally and then there are sins that produce evil covenants. The third way a curse can come is when somebody else mentions your name in a demonic covenant.

 How do we ensure total victory?

1. Repent of all known and unknown sins and ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse you. Make repentance a lifestyle.

2 Repent of any evil covenant that you have voluntarily or involuntarily walked into.

3. Study your family line and anytime you observe a lack, engineer a Godly pattern in your life that will create Godly results.

May you grow in awareness and may you become the mould that God uses to produce blessings.

In today’s teaching Prophet Hari equips us to identify the traits of a true Church and points us to the glorious Church of God.

We live in a time where deception is so rampant and lies are presented so well. Therefore, a strategy that we can employ is to learn to identify the marks of a true Church. In the knowledge of truth, lies are more easily detectable. Your protection lies in discovering the truth.

In the book of 1 Timothy chapter 4 we read that in the end times some will turn away from the true faith and follow teachings that come from demons. Demons have teachings, they teach through human vessels; people that have become deceived by their own lusts. Deception starts by something feeding the lust of your flesh. If your lust is not controlled and protected by a boundary, then you can be introduced to lies through deceptive spirits. 

Be careful who you follow. If you have a man of God that isn’t afraid to correct you and present you the truth, then count yourself blessed. You are the by-product of the voice you listen to. Your destiny is decided by your diet. 

The enemy wants you to believe that your sins are inconsequential. There is a demonic logic to deception, if you give it attention long enough you will be deceived. The enemy is constantly gathering information about you and at an opportune time he will convince you about a certain logic to abandon God.

Keys to protect yourself from deception:

1.    Know the Lord personally and have an everyday communion with Him.

2.    Study the word, develop a disciplined study of the Word.

3.    Apply the Word, don’t only listen and read, start obeying.

4.    Perfect Love - You can’t claim to be a true follower if you are not on a journey where you are perfecting love everyday. Greatness is not just a position, it's your capacity to love. As a child of God you are held to a higher standard.

Traits of a True Church:

Christ Centrality and supremacy- A true church is obsessed with the centrality of Christ. He is what keeps everything in balance. When that is compromised, deception enters. The Lord's power and glory keeps everything in check. Develop an intentional pursuit of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Faithful in preaching the imperishable Word of God - A true Church will not compromise on the truth. It will not compromise on the supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church was never meant to blend in and look like the world. They are not afraid of standing out and proclaiming the truth.

Engaged in the work of God – A true church is committed to preaching the gospel of God and discipling nations. They become the true ambassadors of Christ on earth.

A glorious church - A true church displays the glory of the Lord. The glory of the latter Church will be greater than the former.

Spiritually intelligent – The Lord Jesus is returning for a wise bride, one that is spiritually compatible, mature and intelligent.

Constantly increasing in holiness – A true church is on an unceasing quest of purification. They strive to become blameless and spotless in their generation by growing in maturity and stature; fabricating a life that represents Jesus well. 

Child of God, make these truths a part of your life in order to protect your soul and to be transformed into the end time army of God.

The Bible says that the visible world is made by the invisible world. In this teaching, Prophet Hari teaches us about the systems of the spirit realm. Jesus, in flesh, was a tangible expression of God on earth. After His death and resurrection, He promised that He would send us a helper, His own Spirit. When the disciples were first filled with the Holy Spirit, they heard a sound and saw flames of fire, but they couldn’t see the form of the Holy Spirit. The visible world gets influenced and forged by the invisible world. In the invisible world, there are two kingdoms – the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. The earth was given to man by God, therefore, whichever kingdom that wants to influence this world must find a man to partner with. Even God looks for an individual who is willing to partner with Him. Dominion on earth requires partnership, either voluntarily or involuntarily partnership. Furthermore, in the realms of the spirit, there are no vacuums or empty spaces. You are either hosting God or an inferior spirit. How does the invisible world interact with the visible world? The following are systems of the spirit: The primary system that God uses to influence the earth is a born-again child of God. God made Adam and gave him dominion over the earth, but Adam fell and forfeited his authority. Then the Lord Jesus came and redeemed mankind by paying the price on the cross. You being a member of the body of Jesus Christ makes you a candidate for God to interact with and use as a force of influence on earth. Those who do not know Jesus are part of the first Adam, the fallen man. Therefore, they become, voluntarily or involuntarily a part of an inferior kingdom. The kingdom of darkness, unlike God, does not seek permission to interact with man to influence the world.
However, those who know Jesus, have access to a superior life, a superior spirit which is the Holy Spirit and a superior world. When you are introduced to a superior world, your life must begin to reflect it; we do that by duplicating heaven on earth. Everything you do must reflect the Kingdom of God. The systems of God come to earth through men and women of God.Man is a bridge between the invisible and the visible realm. His environment is a reflection of how much he has tapped into the spirit of the invisible world. You become an extension of the kingdom you are most aware of. We must take extreme ownership of our God given destiny. When you partner with God for an assignment, you become aware of the system that God shows you and you become one with that truth.The other system that God uses to influence the visible world is through bloodlines. What you have received and what you possess during your lifetime doesn’t die with you. God created a way of transferring systems and information even when an individual passes on; all of this can be transferred through the blood-line. Through the system of birthing a child, you are able to pass information, systems and proclivities to the next generation. Every decision you make daily is shaping your DNA in a certain way. If you are listening to the word today, may you have victory over systems in your bloodline which are not from your God given DNA. 

In this teaching Prophet Hari brings insights about what the Lord is requiring for the end time Church. 

The mandate which has been entrusted to Prophet Hari is to get this generation ready to meet Jesus - that is the mission and vision of his ministry. When the Lord spoke to him, He impressed on his heart that 50% of the Church was not ready for His coming. Our assignment is to prepare an end time army of generals of God. The Lord Jesus is not just coming back for a forgiven Church but one that is an accurate reflection and representation of Him. 

This brings us to the question, what does a generation that's ready look like, and how do we know that we are ready? 

In the book of Matthew 25:1-13, we read in the parable of the banquet of the bridegroom, there were two groups of bridesmaids, one that took lamps without oil and the other that brought lamps with oil. Similarly, at the coming of the Lord there will be two groups: one that looks ready but is not ready. They had the oil but are no longer in possession of it. They are a lukewarm and inferior group, having a form of godliness but without power. Whereas the other group is ready; they have come prepared with the oil. They are the glorious, remnant Church operating in the full power and glory that God has bestowed upon them.

Both groups had a good start; they both had the oil. But when they experienced delay and tarry in the return of the bridegroom, one group ran out of oil. They didn’t anticipate what was required of them to meet the Lord. The end time Church must be ready to meet the Lord, any day, any time.

What is this oil and why is it important?

Ephesians 1:11-14 tells us that in accepting Christ we have obtained an inheritance and received the Holy Spirit as a guarantee from God. The evidence of your salvation is the mark of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, when Jesus comes back He is looking for His own Spirit. The Holy Spirit can be attributed to the oil, but it is our duty to steward the oil well. 

The Holy Spirit in us is what enables us to relate to God as our Father. Without this privilege, we go back to being strangers,  that’s why when the unprepared bridesmaids returned and called out the Lord said He did not know them, because He didn't see the evidence of the Holy Spirit in them - the oil. 

Child of God, Do you have religion or do you have an active, living relationship with God? Is it possible that you are riding on the strength of an encounter you had years ago and today you don’t have the reality of His presence? The manner in which you address Him is proof of the strength of your relationship. That’s why on the cross, in the final moments when sin had infiltrated the body of the only begotten, Jesus, He called out ‘my God’ and not 'my Father'.  

The evidence of the presence of the Lord Jesus in your life is that you have an active and living relationship with Him. There is nothing more important than your relationship with Jesus. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit. Be quick to repent. If you can preserve and guard the presence of the One who is guarding you, then the Holy Spirit will work on you and make you ready, spotless and without blemish for the return of the Lord Jesus. 

The Church that Jesus is returning for is one that can exhibit God at a high level. The Church will be ready when Christ is fully formed in us, and we collectively look like the Lord Jesus; in nature, character and stature.
