✅ Dan Mohler - Dealing With Evil Spirits

[Music] on Monday the first day of school when I saw you all sitting here right it's hard to hold it together I was like you guys are here man there's a lot of I think I think it seems like a lot of us got a lot out of the last couple days have been just hearing some kind of comments yesterday and even the day before just modeling we only did it for a little bit you know I thought the load was going to have me up here for about a half hour forgetting you guys were here but the other day when we modeled at the end just what intimacy looks like in prayer that was just a little picture but I think it it helped it seemed like he gave a visual to our lives Patrick said something neat yesterday during that time in the sanctuary and he might have a little more to share in that and I want to ask just a couple people to participate in and just share what's been happening what you've been grown in or increasing in the last couple days if you will just encourage one another because it when you teach something like I taught the last couple days you want to make sure it doesn't become works to you it could look many different ways but there's a principle of pursuing him an intimacy Patrick said to me nobody's going to use this as an example he came right up to me he was really excited had that childlike look he gets in his eyes it's awesome God's really doing something big in his life but he came up and said man I was sitting there doing Ephesians fun and like he said and he said I got down to first eighth and I couldn't go any through the right I have found myself going back to six and then I went down to eighth and I went back to 6 he just did that a few times and because that's where Holy Spirit was going like this and it wasn't it wasn't about going to verse 9 10 11 and reading his Bible it was about going back to 6 becoming his Bible so he really he didn't plan on that but because of where his heart was in reading his Bible and he had that meditating in the word thing in his heart and yielding the Holy Spirit and we prayed like we did that was his experience and some of you I heard you responding when I said that you were like yo cuz somebody who else went back and kept going over some same stuff and it caught it get a little bigger and a little bigger and a little bigger and and you know I said I said you know you could stay in there and it sounds funny mark said it to me yesterday I said you somebody would have told me a couple weeks ago about reading the same scripture for like a week or two or three have you think like no way no but I said yesterday you could do read it for a year just because it's alive and his wisdoms unsearchable right or immeasurable different translations and phrases so think about what that means there's always more there's always more so if you think you've got it then you'll just read your Bible think you've got it but if you understand there's always more and you appreciate what you've got and you abound and Thanksgiving and you keep opening your Bible in this precept of you know you're revealing yourself to me this is who you are and when I find you I find me there Wow and and tueur becoming one and you keep yield no way it'll just get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger you could read that that section Ephesians it'll just keep oh here's the beautiful thing one of the first principles you find in the Bible is the principle of the seed that each seed produces after its own kind okay so when the sower shows the word he's sowing seed you can you can you can sow Bible knowledge and stimulate in electing and and reproduce Bible knowledge this is true or you can get in the word and become that word and when you speak you're not just teaching out of your head and out of your Bible knowledge because the Bible says it you're teaching out of your heart you're teaching what you've become what's become your reality and there and there's there is morning there it's a spirit of Revelation it's people say a lot of times when somebody speaking out of what's become theirs they're not just doing a Bible lesson you know the words anointed so it always has effects on people's lives don't think that God can't go deeper than where a person is what I'm saying is when when it becomes your reality you're sowing seeds of Revelation into people that's why you hear people like Jesus was talking and the men said didn't our hearts burn within us when he spoke why cuz the fire of the word was this because he's speaking now that he is the word pretty good teacher let no one call no man on earth your teacher there's only one source of true teaching and that's the truth of Jesus and through Jesus that's a pretty powerful scripture we won't look at that now but but I can't tell you how many people even just when I travel in different people and and I've heard other people that minister where they're ministering something that's there something they live and see something they've tasted how the people are ministering to come alive inside and say man I could feel something happening in me or I could it was going in me and well that's each seed producing after its own kind if you if you're speaking out of what's become yours then it shows the seed in somebody to start them into that place where it just becomes theirs it's just powerful you know knowledge just sure gnosis stir intellect most of the time though we're still alive God still has ability you can still take that little piece of stirring and go and go into a deeper place than God but I just would encourage you to continue to grow in this because you can give people what you become in a real supernatural way does that make sense it's the reproducing factor it's the multiplying factor why else do you think there's so much life in the word when you open your heart to it and humble yourself and become teachable because it's it's revelation it's come out of Revelation it's truth it's a life lived Jesus the Word made flesh there's so much life in the word amen so there's life in the words you share and convey to others when it comes out say we get together and and and and and and jessalyn is his minister in and and say we just met and she's pouring her heart out to me and it's through her life change it's through the love Jesus has for her she's leaving a deposit in me of something that's so real and her and so's that seed into me for God to reproduce that after its own kind it's very vital rather than just well sir the Bible says and telling me what the Bible says but I'll tell you if she starts telling me what it becomes I say well you're really serious about this well you think you really believe this Oh Oh sir no less than her eyes are sparkling just see it's a whole nother realm when I got I know this is true in my heart just from this even even though there's scriptures about the seed and things when I was three days saved it's funny I'm three days born-again I'm at work and God speaking to me like in sentences in English that was crazy and I'm like trying to work on this is God and it was it was gifting it was grace it was sovereign it was beautiful I mean he was just speaking to me and I started to think and I just think in this or is this God you know how we do that and as I'm I just thinking this is this guy but it was so perfused that it was sentences and these things were just unfolding and I'm I'm working going oh I don't know what I must look like but then he talked to me and first person he talked to me he called me by name I heard my name in my heart he said in Dan I'm gonna give you revelations of my love and righteousness and you're gonna speak to many of my people that's what I heard in my heart I'm three days saved and I'm going I stopped working and I'm going this is God because I am short I don't have this dream I'm not thinking one day I'm gonna be a ministry not even thinking nothing like I'm saved three days I mean come on I'm like wow he's telling me I'm gonna do a few revelations my love and righteous and and it affected me I'm standing there and I put my remember right where I was standing in the cooler I was I was pulling some highs orders for the meat room and I'm standing right there and I'm just like oh my and here's what he said he said however he said I'm not gonna open this door and do this so that you study your Bible to preach sermons in fact I don't want you studying your Bible to preach sermons that's what he told me personally that doesn't mean it's wrong to study your Bible preach sermons that's what he told me I don't want you studying your Bible means that doesn't mean he's not telling John Hagee that and John Hagee's not to be doing studying some people put thirty hours in their message and pray and seek and hear God cross all right so don't hear what I'm saying wrong here's what he said to me it's a grace I don't want you studying your Bible to preach sermons I only ever want you speaking out of the reality of who I am in your life so what he said to me when I was three days old I didn't totally understand it but it clicked from then on because I realized from then on that's all I've ever done I went to a little Bible breakfast thing when I was saved for a week and and I started going to the church where I went and I just went to this little thing and sat in the room I've saved a week and and they just asked me what I just started to share that I just got saved my eyes filled with tears I started to share about God's love for me how forgiving I am and I start preaching the gospel and I was saved a week and I'm just and everybody sitting there going then one of the elderly fellows took me to breakfast and cry and said there's something in your heart so fresh I've been saved almost my whole life and I'm so hungry for what I see in your eyes so fresh and I have gotten that response ever since I've been saved but but from people but the deal is this only ever speak out of what's become real Who I am in your life what's real so it's all about knowing him it's not about knowing about him knowing about him can take us to knowing him but God's goal is knowing him so on his end he wants face-to-face intimacy he wants us knowing him so when I'm reading my Bible to know him that's by this thing we did this week so far it was so impacting so that was Patrick's response and he might even have more to add but he came up to me and said oh my goodness there was a couple of there comments made but I didn't know if anybody wanted to share something that was prevalent that you've received in the last couple days just in the thought of meditating through the word pouring out your heart through what the scriptures are saying and participating entering in and using that truth as a springboard for your heart is how I see it because some people get in prayer and they're like what do I do now we talk about intimacy with God and communing with God we're like I love you you know what we think we might do sometimes people feel like they don't know what to do I've had people tell me that they don't know what to do when communing with God what is that so how's this this week spoke to anybody powerful did you hear what he just said never again why lack words when I'm communing with God why cuz all the truths right there and you're responding to it from your heart so it triggers your heart to enter into truth so you're not praying out of your head one of the reasons we lack words is because we live out of our head you live out of your heart and then when the word activates your heart and it's like whoa because we're all sincere in this room we all love God the best we understand and want to know God more true or our hearts pure of course they are you might have these little floods in when your heart isn't as far as it should be just that's the devil and he's a jerk anyway the bottom line is your hearts pure you want God you want to grow in God you want to love God your hearts are pure you're not sitting here because you're looking for a way out you're you're pursuing the right so the word makes a drawl on the pureness of your heart the pure heart shall see God so when you see that you just enter in and I love that that was a pretty intense phrase never again well I like words communing with God and that's exactly how I feel I can see God said now when I'm communing with him yeah I know Dan yeah you told me yeah I'm just good anybody else a response I used to be afraid of the devil's eye when I'm trying to enter in one time I saw this bead blasting kind of in my way and he scared me why me later honest I'll God take Danny by the neck and take me to the gardener he said cursed forever are you and threw him down to the ground but this first verse one verse 30 Ephesians 1:3 please bless us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies so I just really magnified in heaven and he kept bringing in the heavenlies every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies because we tonight was pressed so now what used to see big spiritual warfare and all these evil things out there on her now like heed now he's blessed me through every spiritual blessing in the house it's bigger than all that Satan's an Intimidator sometimes these visions are very real he starts with people when they're children I used to see black figures in my bedroom all the time when I was a little kid all the time and they were fear-inducing things trying to get me freaked out and afraid and then I'd go watch out for Hitchcock and Twilight Zone and tales of the Crypt and and add fuel to the fire and made myself a sitting duck and and then and then I'd go up the Attic to the third floor bedroom with no carpet and the wood doors and thus creaky wood floors are made in the squeaky wood door and it went there was no light switch in the hall because it's an old row home and I'd have to run to my bedroom in the dark and dive in my bed I'd hit the light and dive in my bed and then after a while I peek up to make sure everything was okay and I always thought I'd see that guy that would come up out of the box and tell Zack rebel because I had him embedded in my mind I would watch him and I knew he was coming why do you do that stuff to yourself because your degenerate you're like you're just terrible and I'm sitting there like oh then I have to go to the Attic and I tell that story sometimes because I was at YC up and it was a day when I saw two blind eyes open and in one in the morning one the evening in healing services beautiful so I'm having a good day I see a 63 year old lady get her eyesight back and I see a 12 year old girl who never saw out of her right eye get her eyesight that's a good day so I'm pretty excited and I'm so excited I left my keys on the platform and I was heading out the back door and Holy Spirit it was more than things Oh my keys I wasn't thinking keys my best friend he runs with me hangs with me were tight he said hey your keys you out the door you'll be locked out of your own church here like oh my gosh my keys are out there because you know you go out the doors are locked and that have been outside the pastor no keys to the kingdom I'd have to realize this is not the kingdom because I don't have the keys so I said thank you so much oh I appreciate you you were so my best friend and I'm just talking to him welcome to hall because he's the one that kept me from locking myself out he's nuts me your Keith yeah so I ran up and when I went through those doors those doors it was at your Christian Fellowship the white doors going in the sanctuary it just and there's no lights I didn't turn any lights on I know the church like my back yard I've been pastoring there for years and there's exit signs and they have like to him in the corners but I go up to the sanctuary and I open the door and it went and instantly instantly I felt that same feeling it seemed like when I was 9 years old in my attic at home the big mistake we make right there we think that's us and we think that's in us and we think we need free because we fell a feeling it's the biggest mistake is the biggest misnomer of I believe the church in that case right there we say people have a field day with that oh my goodness brother we need to sit down and get that thing squared away in you and things not in there there's just a memory it's a flashback it's something that used to eat my lunch and terrorize me looking for an opportunity to get me to sell cheap and say this is still Who I am because if I if I call you and say this is what it wants me to do Brian need to pray for me dude I still got some fear in my life know I had a memory that used to freak me out and own me and run me here's what I did I said father I just thank you for the blood of Jesus I just thank you and I've realized that my instinct was from past to grab and hit that light switch and I refused to hit the light switch and I walked to the sanctuary it's amazing I'm telling the story because we just talked yesterday about some things than that I didn't even wasn't thinking this story but now I'm thinking of it so I'm just saying this has nothing to do with our conversation yesterday just we're here there's no going back so I'm going and so I don't know who this for but this will just help us we sell our identity so short because of feelings emotions and experiences it's called sensuality it's the attack point of the devil and if you start believing your everything you feel you'll never be free the rest of your life in your mind yet you've been free the whole time how's that yeah you've always spent free you just haven't seen it because you haven't felt it and you're believing lies so if I'm if I'm as easy as experience but then I'm sold cheap I'll just be wrecked Satan will poke me and stick me like a pincushion all the time because he used to work with these things he used to drive me in fear he used to drive me to my bedroom and I see riously would dive in my bed and hide there too I'd calm down enough to pop my head up like a turtle because I was in the Attic and it was scary and now I open that door and it goes mur and because I can relate to that from then it felt like that same moment way back then when I was 9 what people say is all that little boy still there he needs ministry ok I'll calm down do you know why I reacted like that right there because you're selling your identity through emotions and feelings its sensuality you are bought at such a high price the bible says you're already free from the power of darkness what donna just said is very fitting it's what stirred me into this testimony she said that stuff it's it's it's all there it seems to be there but i'm seated here did you hear what she say it and and i even had this experience in this vision but the truth is i'm here and it's all there and it tries to seem like it's in the way or like it's the reason you can't be here so watch this it's amazing how gracious god is at that time in my life i was pray and you have no idea how much i was praying about this topic because there was allah the stuff out there in the body of Christ there was a lot of people in church saying we need to do this we need to do this we need to do this we need to get some of these programs and we look we need I had one man pushing hard and he said look what you're doing is great but there's more and I said but I'm preaching the blood and the finished work of Christ he said yeah but there's more than the blood and it really got me now I'm not saying everybody in that arena thinks that way but I that red-flagged me you're a pastor and somebody says there's more than the blood there's more than finished work of Christ sometimes I think we think Jesus needs help with his finished work and that can take you down some weird places even in your own mind and ego and stuff Jesus this work is finished it's knowing who you are and what he's accomplished that will take you through now here's what I did I was asking God for the truth in this situation and I said god I'm hearing people tell testimonies of all this stuff in this arena I'm seeing and hearing all this and I don't want to be snap judgment I don't want to I don't want to just get on a tangent and come against a movement I I don't have any need to be right in my life so I would pray that way in my bedroom I need you to father me because I have to make a just decision and I caught up to the platform I don't have discerning of spirits very often I've had it several times in my life where I needed to see things and God flashed them to me I saw spirit in a weird service one day I was in a service and it felt good but it felt weird you ever been in a service like that and I asked the Lord I said Lord I'm an authority here I need to know what's going on I looked and there was a spirit hovering over a man and it all worked out in a certain way and I need to go address it there was something and and it was actually a learning experience for me I actually gave that thing áfourá T and God taught me how and it's just it's a whole nother teaching but that was a discerning a spirit there was a time in my home my kids woke up every day after home group every morning they woke up depressed and weird and I was like what is going on and one night I saw spirit in the kitchen and when it saw I saw it it was like it doubled it went like this it was just a fall but it went like like we would like oh you see me and it's shot up to the kids rooms and the Lord revealed later that that thing was coming as an assignment to mess with the kids to get into our soul and discourage us and get us in some kind of shadow boxing thing or something it was just and God exposed that and dealt with that so I trust Holy Spirit I trust discerning of spirits if I don't have that the gospel is all but all I need it's my answer if Holy Spirit's not showing me something I'm not looking for something we're looking for a lot of stuff watch this I get to the platform I picked up my keys I feel that I felt that feeling of fear it's the weirdest thing I don't have fear I really don't have fear I don't I don't experience fear I don't get phone calls to go oh my god it's just not the Gospels done something cool to me I like not having fear fear really isn't cool we think it's normal but it's not cool Jesus doesn't think it's cool he said fear not do not be afraid fear not don't be afraid it's like 365 times through your Bible you can find that phrase it's like one for every day there's never a day for fear it's always fear or not don't be afraid I think he covered that right so but the gospel is the only thing that make you that way when I turned around with my keys my eyes open and I saw at least two spirits right here right here they were outside trying to oppress me they were trying to make me fearful they were looking for an opportune time familiarity of the thing that I could relate to when I was 9 they were using that as an opportunity in the midst of my seeking on this whole arena of going back when I was a little kid in the roots and the things and all the stuff that we're talk about in the church I'm inquiring god this thing's coming trying to say to me see you're still in that place that little boy still it was trying to send that message I'm holdin on to the gospel thanking God for the blood singing a song actually about the blood when I'm walking to the autumn when I turn around I get my open eyed vision of two spirits right here when I turned around they were right there and it was almost like whoa they're right there and as soon as I saw him they disappeared and the Lord instantly spoke to me in here's what he said set me free forever he said see Dan there outside if I had called Brian and said pray for me I've got fear in my life I've just opened myself up for the identity of a fearful man when just a moment ago before a door creaked I'm filled with Holy Spirit watching blind eyes open now a door creaks and I have fear come on I'm being a little aggressive on purpose God's wisdom makes these things foolish if we really looked to God's wisdom you're telling me before the door creaked and blind eyes are open and all this stuff and everything's cool you're telling me I still got that issue in a door creaking throws me off of who I really am and sends me on some wild goose chase and now I need you to minister to me because I felt a familiar spirit he's outside he's not inside I happen to be filled with the Spirit of God I feel pretty flaky right now I don't even know what to do come on our identity has to go deeper than the intellect of a door creaking and connecting adop to nine years old come on your identity can step over that or you make much of that and create a doctrine that keeps you always vulnerable to a feeling because if you believe that's who you are he will have a heyday the enemy with your soul and you'll have 20 more memories and 20 more flashback and you'll never know if you're ever able to be free because what el has you captive because I felt a feeling and a door creak you're not taking me from where I was in Christ before that door outlet you get what I'm saying if you don't lock your heart into that truth then there's no truth to make you free if you believe you're vulnerable if you believe generational curses has power of you that's what makes them have power it's what you believe you have what you believe there's no way you convince me my great great granddaddy has a voice in my life unless it would be something good because when you turn to righteousness you're blessed to a thousand generations we missed that part and just because you can track a generational curse in a family doesn't mean you're subject to it now that you're in Christ and it's a fear doctrine there's a place to separate yourself from it in your identity but there's a fear out there and we've made it a monster in the church to the point where we're good to diagnosing problems and we can't help people so we just tell them well it's some kind of generational curse then we leave them go thinking they're cursed yes well it's that it's some kind of generational curse brother you need to seek into it there's a curse over your life it has to do with your forefathers in your lineage and then you give them that answer and you dismiss them so now they leave the room I've had a lot of people tell me why I was told it's a generational curse who told you well I was up at an order a church I used to go to a pastor I just told you it's a generation curse sorry gotta live with a bud no you teach somebody that they can't be cursed he was made to be a curse yeah but I feel cursed it seems like I'm cursed see when you embrace that stuff it did generates fear and vulnerability and now you're living on the edge of fear and vulnerability do you know why the righteous are bold as a lion because they see and understand the privilege and blessing of being right with God the perk and benefit of covenant with a God that never breaks covenant the right to support doesn't mean they're arrogant cocky and presumptuous they're bold because they're not in the world anymore meaning of the world anymore you get what I'm saying you're not subject to the same dictates of yesterday you're born god forbid we sell our identity out because a door creaked and I remembered my childhood god forbid that I lived that way and don't say God I am so thank you I'm not that little boy anymore there was a time I was eating a live with fear god I so thank you you're in me and upon me and thank you for rock in the world through my life and you go get your keys and you go home god forbid you call Brian and share your experience I mean you can call Brian but God forbid you call from you could share your experience as if you're what you experienced that's called selling out your identity to me and that means you're not established in truth and you will live like this in your Christian life now there's been a bunch of hands a couple hands there was one one aggressive hand that kept saying me me there was one here and one back there let's go with you real quick Symonds it's it's coming to get all my kids through maybe what I don't understand it's looking for opportune times they test your faith they come and speak to your life based on where they used to own you because they don't own you anymore so they're trying to lay claim again it's just familiar spirits they come so it comes in my home it's an assignment it's come in to put something on my children to throw me and my wife into place like this shallow stuff I'm not being crude and critical right now because probably all of us have functions this way I started in it shallow stuff like well that's that's just the devil trying to I mean every time we're trying to have church and he's just coming trying to mess up our joy and just ruin our joy and when you're saying that your Joy's already ruined because you're frustrated that your kids are acting this way and it's three weeks now and you're wondered about the next week you have homegroup cause now you got to wake up to this and then the kids are acting that way anything here we go again and in your mind wonder why God why are you even letting us you know we want to do a homegroup and we want to have Church why can't you protect us God and all that stuff see these things slip in try to take advantage of your soul expose what you do and don't understand Satan doesn't believe we believe what we claim so he comes to test your faith all the time I'll show you in the Bible we might look at that today I'm gonna show you where he comes to to test the genuineness of your faith adversities and trials God doesn't get in the way and stop them because actually I wouldn't change that experience if I could go back and rewrite that experience I'm so glad for these things because the gospel is in order the gospel is in place so if Satan pokes his head in if he comes to try to boom adversity and bring it on my kids take advantage of the innocence my kids and he was just I don't know how he was touching but what God taught me is there's a place for me to stand and believe here's what worked in my life because I didn't understand it before the experience I have total authority over my family under my roof and my children and you ain't comin through me now I learned that and then I started to live that and believe that I didn't pray it all the time I walked in that it was just my revelation my kids when they were little they never miss school they were never sick my children I don't remember my children until they were in their late teens mid to late teens I don't remember Miss in any school and getting any sickness of my children because I had this thing drilled in me it's as if I'm standing for myself now I had disbelief I had this but watch that's amazing what you believe in how it has power I don't have the belief now but I had this belief that once they got to a certain age they were more accountable to themselves than me covering them that they needed to step out in their own accountability and I didn't have the same authority to cover them because I read that in in a Word of Faith book once and I took it to heart and I believed that they were accountable for their own words actions and faith at a certain age but now what I realize is it's my home and I'm the priest of my home and I have an authority I can pray over an unbeliever and he can be healed why can't I protect my kids through what they're not seeing or yielding to when they're in my home you get what I'm saying and I was passionate about that and aggressive I've actually always had a very personal revelation some people have a faith and pray for the sick and see him healed and have trouble with their own physical being like those see I I've been the total opposite and I can't explain other than this they'll take you there where I've always had no fear and our grace to see myself in covenant and complete in the expression of that when I would express that and teach that it was shortly after that witchcraft came and tried to kill me it was voodoo witchcraft stuff the Lord showed me what it was and here was my response what do I do it almost was like he laughed he said what do you do he said just keep believing my word and I'm like duh and he brought me through three experiences against the salts against my physical flesh of witchcraft I wouldn't trade it in for nothing I wouldn't go back and want that to change because it works such a passion in me it took what I said I believed to knowing what I believe so when I saw that thing I got like a lion when I saw everything go up to my bedroom Mike children's bedroom it went to Lisa's room for Daniels room first it like shot past I didn't know where it went it just went in that direction I chased my wife knew I saw some she was standing facing me like you are she was right about there I'm facing him when we're praying I was starting to take authority over the home and learned to step out because a Christian said man just take authority over your home and just etcetera and I said that sounds like what I need to start doing and just believe that we're not vulnerable and this is way back I'm going back man my kids were little and I looked and why not started to pray I went and God was showing me that's that's exactly what's happening right there well when I saw it it saw me it went it was like a flash though upstairs things are real spiritual things I took off running after because I was like doing in my house touching Jay I wasn't like oh my god a spirit I went like this helmet but and I took off and ran to the bed why cuz Christ it was a reaction I just took off I wasn't like oh I'm chasing the devil no it's it's gotta go right so I ran it was the most amazing experience this stuff builds things in you I ran to my son's room and I knew it wasn't there I just I just knew and I turned and I ran into my daughter's room and it was like I ran into a wall of just evil demonic presence and when I did I could feel the anointing of God all over me I have what a one ounce of fear I said you never come in my house again and that was just came out of me like I was like in the name of Jesus anyway it was just it was just like the I am the air went and I was like you know you're not serious it was like you have no idea now watch what that experience led to watch what that experience led to just a couple weeks later a ladies walking down my street she's walking down my street like this a couple weeks later and I said hey are you okay found out she lives up the hill she's talking to me now I said what's the matter honey I have no peace I'm crazy everybody says I'm crazy I said honey no I said come here I want to talk to you I want you to meet my wife where are you from cooker in my house saturon the she's passed now what an experienced satyr on my couch got my wife and when we when my wife brought came in to meet her she looked at me like a little kid and said I never felt so much peace in my life sitting in your living room there's so much peace I said yeah honey there is I said Jesus is peace honey do you know Jesus oh I'm a Christian and I said well Jesus is peace honey you can have that peace no no not in my house I said sure you can't honey she said no the the children run all through the house and they scream all the time and they go in the room and then they come out and scream and and and they there's no peace of I said you have children well nobody believes they live there but they all think I'm crazy but there's a bunch of them and and I looked at my wife I went oh my goodness this is some tormenting demonic spirit to make her look psychotic and then they stuff her on a million pills and she loses her whole life and she's having a real experience and I said can we go to your home because I just had that experience now I felt that thing rises up and I was like can we go to your Hall I thought the main coming out there was no fear but there wasn't arrogance it wasn't like show me their demos it was Jesus loves you you're being tormented and pummeled the same way that thing was trying to creep into our lives now watch this wonderful when I saw that spirit fear went oh my god I devil because of lacking this but being filled with knowledge oh my god you might be amazed how those things would start happening more keep happening all of a sudden I'm on a devil hunt all of a sudden I'm looking around every corner all sudden I'm not even growing in Jesus I'm just afraid of the next thing the devil is doing and where he might be sitting they take advantage of what we don't understand they look for opportune times they came to Jesus and had nothing in him so they went away the devil left him looking for a so he didn't give up he kept an eye on him because he wants to stop the gospel I don't know how I got on this topic today is this okay I'm like where so we went up to Barb's house and we walked in her house and oh we didn't go right away I'm sorry she actually didn't tell me about the children it is a long time ago and I and I just realized I'm not telling you at the right details she came back to my house for a few days every day and knocked on the door it woulda broke your heart knock on the door I said hey stoic it's looking you just want to hold her can I come in and sit on your couch and I said sure honey and after about three days I'm like oh she said I would be okay if you let me just sit on your couch all day every day even if you go out of town I won't do anything touch anything eat anything I'll just sit on your couch I have never felt so and that's when I said honey you can have this same peace in your ass he said no way story I said let's go we went to her house is amazing because I was always taught that Devils possess people in don't haunt houses into but their tormentors their oppressors they do whatever they can to get in the soul of man because if you can get in the soul of man most people live out of their soul if you can get into the soul of man you can imprison their heart that's what they do they're wicked yeah you give them that's why you have to see that and give them no place they are just fallen so I go in there here there wreck in this lady's life people think she's psychotic they think she's schizophrenic they got all these names first she's on all these pills she's losing her life because of this I set her on the couch in her house and I said you can have peace if she said no tears no and she's looking distraught and she kept looking up she kept looking up and I looked up and I spotted a door I said is that the door they go in all the time she said that's where they stay and I said come on Kimmy she said oh I would I wouldn't go in there I wouldn't disturb them I I wouldn't go in there and I smile going up her steps man I just feel this y'all feel that they're on me now that's the aggression of gods on me right now remember that I looked and I said oh it's okay we're fine honey we're going in there it was the most incredible experience we got to the door and it's like we walked into that wall that I felt in my daughter's room we walked in and I felt this wall and I looked at my wife and she looked at me like well cuz she didn't have that experience with the kids cuz she was downstairs she was kind of following me but it was over when she got up there cuz I ran I took off at my house but she was with me on this one I went to open the door and this wall just went like intimidation manifestation they only manifests when they're threatened because they're threatened by the anointing they try to play snake in the grass they don't want you to know they're there but when you're walking a certain level anointing they'll manifest certain things people are manifest things will come out of people and they don't even know what they said and did sometimes there's an important walking in an anointing it it shoes out snakes it rustles out snakes otherwise they just lay cool and they just I look back at her and she's looking at me like and I said to her and I wasn't making like intimidated by it I was just like you feel that she said yeah I said man this thing has robbed this lady's life and it just welled up in my heart this love for her and that lion thing and I opened the door you will never in Jesus name anyway and I mean it just got hammered by the Holy Ghost serious I went down to her room and I said honey everything's gonna be fine now lift your hands and tell Jesus thank you and tell him you love him she started to do that guys and she went it's the same piece that I feel in your house I said cuz she's the same Jesus and you are so precious and so valuable that's all a lie it will never bother you again boom she passed eight years later maybe something like that and I'm not sure the situation of her passing but we had communication with her she was able to laugh and talk she was different and there wasn't kids running through her house and people going oh okay here take a couple of these a day yeah so I don't know how I get into all that but they're tormenters they try to find any avenue they can I heard David Hogan I don't know if you know who he is but he said you know you can't get confused over this stuff he said we're praying we're sealing up things everything we know were fast and praying and he said somehow sometimes it just seems like one of these demonic things just slips through the cracks whatever that means and there's a deadly disease on one of your children he said you better know who you are and know who God is and not get focused on the devil and get off freaked out you need to stand all the more solid and fight and crush that thing because if you start introspecting even oh my god and home huh you're already saying I'm lost right now I'm confused my identities tattered and I'm not walking in a lot of confidence in faith and then that thing comes on even harder to overtake and destroy I got a lot of hands I'm gonna out of grace go to Consuela if she still remembers her question because she was really what my daughter Sarah from the brain tumor when Sarah was one and a half I was laying on my bed videotapes I heard her coming back hallway and she's complaining to herself and she said of it into Broadway and she's yelling at something and she's been wanting it something on that first time laughing and all of a sudden went oh my gosh where's the diamond that's with her and she went poof and fell backwards I get it hit her and I was wondering if the to her head and not that you just said that if it affected you or was something like that diamond and we're still seeing affected still not back to Stila medicines and that's even going all pain wire right now which I'm not understanding so well what am I spent what I do is well there's this whole identity this whole I I'm going to respond the best I can because I hear what you're asking and saying no matter what experience we've had there's a place to grow in in an authority of what he's accomplished the more you grow an identity the more fears move when you have an experience like that like I just got a phone call were you even call me a couple weeks ago about something going on in a house and then there was another phone call about a it freaked the lady out she went in in the and the toys and her baby's crib were moving all by themselves like they were alive and that's just Satan just totally he has found roots of fear in the family and he says haha I'll just look I'll just play peek-a-boo right now and I will just wreck them and I'll get them on a wild witch-hunt tanjit goose chase motivated by fear and freakout and devastation and we'll just replay like an exorcist movie scene here because it's rare those things happen but I know people that have had I know one lady she was starting to fear if her house was haunted if there was Devils there she's a Christian she's spirit filled but when you have an experience like that that oh my god and you see it for what it is the reason it's so important what we're talking about in this whole school is so when that ever would happen do you step up out of the confidence of who Christ is and smash that thing that thing needs crushed without go to Philippians chapter 1 real quick men are we out there somewhere today God where our way how how help me okay okay verse 27 only Philippians 1 well you know I'm serious cuz I turned you there and went right there I didn't even wait twenty minutes you know I'm called pastor we on something right now baby turn they're read-only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ there's an important thing there when your conduct isn't in that place and you're not sure that you know your conscience gets violated you shipwreck your faith you suppress convictions Holy Spirit's working in your life through truth you you violate your conscience you muddy your confidence before God and shipwreck your faith and that goes hand in hand with some of these things because then when these things happen am i allowing this oh my god it's this little thing in my life all of a sudden oh my god I'm bringing this upon my kids all that crazy stuff comes into people's heads then and they're all off balance and off foundation they're no position to fight whatsoever because they're feeling guilty responsible condemned violated fearful you see what I mean almost deserving Philippians chapter 127 that's all right buddy only let your conduct be what it's a it's amazing that that God writes his words so incredible it's amazing that that's first watch because it has to do with your conscience what man are you just worshipping Jesus or do you have a question no just make it if you Oh you wonder why you went here experiencing some of the things you're talking about seeing people I'm sure just after dawn and lucky think I'm crazy yeah experienced all my life actually from a little bit a while where I have groups of people where I'll say people possessed Omega dress pink often in my room and sometimes they have a conversation with and you're just totally off I even have you know and I always wonder like why and when you when you're saying about this to tenants like they manifest when they're they have they take a penny it's rare that you find Satan pops out of the grass Satan pops out of the grass because he's located fear and he's trying to freak you out and wipe you out and get you on a goose chase he's a snake in the grass it's very rare that he pops out like that there's times he does this lady's a Christian she's afraid she's starting to feel fear and she's praying to God motivated by total fear of these experiences and while she's doing it the flashlight on her table because this is how he is he's like because he knows how we react to this stuff the flashlight lifts up as if somebody's carrying it walks across her kitchen the flashlight with nobody there and sits on the counter and now she's a and she calls me on the phone and then I had to pull the right back to truth not pay any attention to the flashlight that does not impress me that is a fallen spirit wanting you to honor him he's fallen he's lost he's Boyd he's empty of identity and he's trying to get you to be impressed with who he is because he is such a loser these demons know what we believe in my friends valid words your comments they track there's assignments it's it's it's not a method they yield to Authority and anointing to Revelation the Bible knowledge we have tells us what to do but if you're standing there saying you know in the name of Jesus to do that and you're freaked out and it's total fear in you it's kind of like a dog can perceive fear these things know fear because they hear you they track there's assignments there's assignments in your life there's things that are watching and looking and listening if Satan left for a more opportune time was he monitoring the situation come on if he left for a more opportune time was he monitoring the situation so these familiar spirits these things that were ruin your life like those things when I was a kid that drove me and owned me that I opened my life up for by watching all that stuff when I get born again then they owned me and now they don't own me anymore what do you think they do just say oh well no they're tracking me they're trying to how do you think out of the blue five years from now that it almost feels like you're reliving an experience of just some wicked thing you did or some traumatic thing like five years from now you have this experience it's that familiar spirit that thing that you were familiar with re living the past to see if you bite or sell out or don't know who you are or go oh I'm on this one again or put yourself through a session at the cost of truth and your identity to say this is me this is not me I'm in Christ and Christ is in me and I'm born again and I don't fear it I'm not freaked out in the freight and sometimes the reason we submit our identity is because we are afraid you see what I'm saying so so if this lady's afraid and now Satan realizes while wrecker I'll get the church thinking she's a Christian kook I'll get there to death so he takes the flash legs as all this they'll get her good see some people think the stuff they're seeing is discerning of spirits sometimes it's just the devil going boo because of the fruit it's producing if it's discerning of spirits God is not a God of confusion he's not a God of fear and he's not spiritually opening your eyes to see things at the cost of your soul if it's not producing life and confidence in boldness when I saw that spirit my spirit man went that wasn't the devil going peekaboo that was the devil going uh-oh serious cuz he did when I was praying and I went like that cuz that thing knows I'm anointed that thing knows I'm sincere that thing that thing can't stand it every day in and out when I'm worshiping and all alone and crying in Jesus and AH and that things going man I got an assignment directness God I can't get near this guy so he's a snake in the grass and he's trying to get through my kids and trying to do whatever he can and and then all of a sudden I see him by the Spirit of God and he goes his head literally it was like a black-hooded thing it's had actually cocked like oh you see me it was so afraid it was so afraid it loves to drive you in it's fear loves to drive you in its fear I heard David Hogan once said you ought to learn to feed on its fear he said you want to learn two feasts so militant I love it you should want to learn to feed on its fear they are so they are intimidated and what because they are freaked out with fear when they encounter Jesus what did they do are you here to torment us before they know their hammer so some of these things like Mary's talking about it's not even like we say well it's just a a nun channeled gift or an unsharpened gift or it's a perverted gift not always no that's not this Co obviously that's not producing a good fruit sometimes it's just the devil going peekaboo going boo he's just trying to build on a fear of foundation of fear that he's already laid know what I got a ton of hands I did he's got to show me grace for a second here I want you to see this I really open up a can of worms I got hands everywhere I got what did you have something to only let's our conduct be worthy of the gospel so that whether I come and see you or an absent I may hear of your affairs that you and fast in one spirit come on be honest we haven't done good it's standing fast in one spirit we say yeah but I feel yeah but I had this experience yeah but this yeah but you'd understand what I'm going through yeah but the flashlight move yeah but I saw this thing in my room and all of a sudden that becomes a problem wonder if that's not a problem wonder if that thing would never pop up in that room because you so know who you are so the only reason it's popping up in the room is because it's realized you don't and it's taken the risk to crush you it's going to say okay I'm coming out and getting even deeper into their mind into their soul you see what I'm saying hands are everywhere they seem important they won't put them down so okay just go cross the line Sharon go ahead well actually the things he does is perverted he became that he's perverted he it's a perversion he he's he's using the anointing that he was originally anointed in in a perverted way the gifts and callings without repentance so it's not like God's empowering him to mess with us but his original gifting and calling got perverted its perverted it's twisted it's twisted and it tries to produce twisted fruit so here's one simple rule and now Allah here's one simple rule the experiences you're having spiritually even the dreams you're having the the fruit they're producing you have to weigh on the fruit they're producing some people think just because they see a devil in their dream it's a demonic dream not if you have a victory in the dream not if there's an authority that you release in the dream that's actually God teaching you and showing you don't think just because you saw a devil in a dream it's a demonic dream but there's times where dreams come to try to build a message in you try to get you fearful try to get you vulnerable or a dream comes at the cost of a loved one to try to imply that maybe God before my wife had that violent seizure for two or three months I had this impression every time I would pray that my wife was going to die my wife was going to die and then the Lord this voice started to sound like wasn't the Lord sounded it just started to mimic how I hear God and the voices Lord it's fascinating how that stuff can happen and all of a sudden I never responded to it I just heard it and it's rare for me to not respond but it just came in such a subtle way and it was trying to prepare me to get a belief system that when that happened to her that God was doing it that he saw coming and warned me and there's books on Christian bookshelves right now how the Lord came and showed me my spouse would get cancer and died and that's why I have peace there's books all over the Christian bookshelf like that and we think every voice is the voice of God and the only reason they have peace is because they believe that God told him that but if he told him that it's at the cost of the whole gospel in the finished work of Christ it's so distorted it's like Sharon I'll tell you where you have authority you have authority where love is perfected you have authority where love is perfected when your motive is pure and you're not just on a witch hunt and I'm not saying you are what I'm saying is I believe this with all my heart if all things are possible to them but believe in nothing shall be impossible for you it doesn't say a give you a list of what's excluded that means love perfected is the most powerful form of intercession on the planet because then you see the value of the people you see things for where they are and when you pray it's as if Christ is praying himself because of the heart that's why it's so important guys for us to become loved and become one with this heart and get over ourselves and get over issues and go that's why you hear me preach so passionate about that topic all the time because the more we get free from all that the more we can be one with him and we'll look through his eyes and when we pray it's as if he's praying himself you see and it there's a Centurion that doesn't even understand but yet he understands that he's an authority he understands and he recognizes one thing you are the son of God I believe you're a man walking in an authority from heaven heavens upon your life don't even come to my house just say the word jesus said wow that's amazing hey sit you know your boys fine well there was an authority there there's a power there there was a lady that called that that we were calling to come to our house one time and she wouldn't come out of her apartment and I went over to her house she was she was she was I found out that she was a captive on her couch for like four or five days I don't even understand this stuff she was so suppressed and oppressed and these Devils were hovering over her she had been so given to fear and she was so devil conscious she was well but I'm a what's the names the Satan the ritual abuse all the labels and the titles and she had all that tagnames stuff when you talked to her Satan ritual abuse stuff I wasn't saying you know satanic I was that you know a victim of a victim of well yeah but it's because I was through this and I was through that and Jesus is working me into a place of deliverance because I had this happened to me and this happened to me in this and all her consciousness and focus was on what she's been through instead of what he's been through to set her free and and I was ministering toward the truth of the gospel well in that process because the truth of the gospel is is Satan scared to death of the truth of the gospel so right in the process of entering the truth through the gospel to her this suppression came he went for all keeps for all the marbles and he had her and I found out like four days later she's been on her couch for all that time didn't even get off horrible and it's so violated me it made me like angry okay and I went to her house and I'm pounding on her door apartment complexes I'm loud I'm yelling her name come out get up it's me I love you but I'm mad I'm just mad like I would have got mad at a person years ago before I was saved just mad rather punch you in the mouth and make amends right that's just math so I'm they're mad and I'm playing all this stuff Authority and her she's just laying there mad I got back home and a couple other people came over the house because we're all meet and we're trying to get her to come so we can love on her and they said is she coming and I said no and all of a sudden he was so merciful my heart that mad thing had that he was so not threatened by that mad thing the devil but the devil yeah I was at the door taking authority praying everything you've ever been taught to pray that thing just stayed there over her and didn't budge I got home and all of a sudden I realized four days and I looked at the people in my heart I started to cry for her and I said do you realize she's taken such a venture all of a sudden the love switch hit serious it was the love switch it hit and I went into a whole nother mode because I just got ticked at the devil that day he so wasn't threatened by that he'd rather me be in that place cuz that's just like blowing smoke at him it hasn't no he has no it just because I'm ticked at him does he's not threatened by that he's become like him you just start acting like him you become like him that's a good word he's he's fears the finished work of Christ he fears the revelation of love he fears the anointing of God yeah he sure does so I grad to the people I said this is an amazing testimony got a lot of these in the demonic realm don't teach on a much because I'm concerned we'd be greedy so fatty with devil stuff we're but some of us is already too freaked out and impressed with devil stuff we need to be more so impressed with Jesus that you see the devil stuff for what it is and don't even blink an eye man I could have a devil bouncing on my counter and rolling the little limp with horns and that is doing nothing to me I don't be like you are such a loser pal I hope you don't think you have any you are a withering cut off branch coming to nothing get out and it's not like oh my god come on most of us in certain thing when we if the witch just comes to church in her garb where our eyes are more on her why she here and what's she doing during worship and what's she doing we get her eyes off of Jesus fixed on her just because of our knowledge that she's a witch and here's Jesus who is Lord King of Kings name above every name and all the wits we have to do in the average church is walk in rest out doubt and she'll subvert the whole atmosphere cuz all the I's people be in backrooms praying in tongues calling it intercession thinking it's the spiritual thing to do no man were so glad you came god bless you appreciates you here today man it's awesome you came hugger god bless you and when worship starts keep your eyes fixed on him so the Spirit of God comes and touches her deeply but be real with me most of us would be distracted because of the level where we'd be light and that's the only reason they would do something like that you see what I'm saying we grabbed hands in my house it was about seven eight of us and I'm crying now and now this Authority Rosa my voice it sounded like the same tone as when I was at her apartment but it was a whole different heart it was about Jesus's love for her it wasn't about my ability to drive out the devil who's about Jesus loving her with his life and giving me the honor of ministering that truth I'm at her front door screaming all these prayers and nothing's going on now I'm in my living room holding the hands of a couple people that are crying with me and we start praying and I took authority over that thing and in two minutes the telephone rang and it was her she said are you guys praying for me I said you better believe we are she said I have been on my couch for so many days and that thing just broke off of me and I set up and I feel the presence of God and she said I just knew you were praying for me she's on the phone I said get over here girl we want to hug on you but I've been on my couch for get over here we want a hug on you she came right over oh man I feel that I prayed all the right Christian stuff at her apartment door I was just mad I was just she failed ever how do you who do you think you you get off the fur you foul devil get off for I'd bind you and break your problems as mad as a man gets mad no sense of the value of her it's just this is a trust pass Bible knowledge tells me he's out of bounds you need to get off her property doubt it out she's the kingdom of gods God owns her Jesus shed his blood for I could have went through the whole gamut of all the lists long reasons why she needs to be free it isn't it amazing how it doesn't carry any power when your heart's not because of love it's not knowledge knowledge puffs you up it makes you feel like somebody you're really actually not walking ass love edifies come on oh man okay I don't feel as lost right now as what felt earlier I feel more locked in here watch this that you stand fast in one spirit that's our calling guys that's why we have a school like this that's why we're all here we want to stand fast in one spirit with one mind if we're going to strive at all that's not be against one another that strive together for the faith of the gospel what does that mean for the faith of the gospel we always use that phrase in or see that phrase in the Bible striving together for the faith of the gospel who he is towards us and who we've become because of him that's the faith of the gospel it's your identity through the risen Christ it's the faith fighting the good fight of faith that doesn't mean you're in a war against the devil like we think it is I understand we don't wrestle not against flesh and blood but spirit sprouts there's a that's all that is is chasing that thing down in the bedroom and driving it out my words not flesh and blood it's not my kids in the morning why do you have to act this way guys you need to be more loving that other there was a spiritual thing behind it that was trying to get my attention on the kids and get me frustrated with the kids you have every reason to be blessed why are you acting this way knock it off because they they were just it was you wouldn't believe how they were picking at each other and they didn't even they weren't even ever that way and also in there that way it wanted to get my eyes on flesh and blood and just get frustrated as I used to against my kids to own these things are liars this year I mean so watch this striving together for the faith of the gospel now look at that phrase he makes with a comma and he keeps on speaking because the faith of the gospel tells you who you are in Christ and why you ever it Shoen locates you Jesus reveals the truth about you he's not just the truth he's the truth about you you get it so though isn't it amazing he starts off let your conduct be worthy of the gospel then he says strive together for the faith of the gospel and goes right into this phrase and not in any way in what way not in any way even a flashlight movement even crib toys walking around in the crib even seeing things visually not in any way terrified by what by your adversaries why because you're in Christ you've strived together for the faith of the gospel and you see who you are and fears no longer the barometer you live by it's no longer the motivating factor it's faith it's love it's faith that works through love you get it watch not in what way anyway so fear is never God it's never the kingdom of God watch not in any way terrified by your adversary which to them absolute proof and evidence of their destruction so so look how freaked out in the fraid they are so the only thing they have to live by his fear so they love to reproduce themselves after their own kind they want you to become like they are right because then you can't bring the torment that they fear on them you can't bring them into the rightful place you actually don't realize what you do you you give them esteem when they're nothing you see what I mean doesn't mean they don't have power it doesn't mean that he's the devil without teeth I've heard Peters pastor says that or he's the lion without teeth no he has teeth and if you if you if you're if you're fair in him his teeth are big and sharp and he's hurt a lot of folks he doesn't gum you but he doesn't need to bite you so the more you fear the sharper is teeth he's hurt folks he slipped through the cracks of people that are god-fearing and praying and interceding and all of a sudden there's something going on in a child or a family you can't lose sight in the midst of that you can't introspect and backspin you gotta stand all the more and know who you are and drive that thing out people are always looking why this weather I love David Hogan because he's in the middle of witchcraft all the time he says when his daughter was going through things people say oh brother we're not getting the breakthrough you have to be missing something you have to be in some kind of hidden sin you have to be in some kind of rebellion there's got to be something and he's - ain't that a shame he said when I need a brother to say to me look this is the devil unlocking arms with you Jesus loves us and we will win he said instead of that we're introspecting like job's friends and coming up with all the reasons why we're going through it and then people in that situation that it's their child that are established in love and perfected in love have a hurt heart towards the very church they're called - now because the church is actually not even understanding and putting this all on them see if job wasn't a man of integrity you cut off your own friends after why your heart so hurt and distorted Satan loves that equation working out like that he loves to do one thing and cause all that damage because of wrong seeing and thinking and we better strive together and stand in one spirit and one faith and get established in this faith right now watch not in any way what way anyway terrified by arson to them it's proof of their destruction but to you it's proof and evidence of your salvation and that from God so the evidence of your revelation of salvation as when you live without fear and you don't fear the enemy that's what the Bible says that's when you're perfected in this truth and that's when loves pretty even perfected watch this for to you it's been granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him but also to suffer for his sake that means you will be tested and tried in these things and God won't stop those trials it's actually a privilege to go through these things cuz everyone's an opportunity to manifest what we all say we believe so we're not afraid of the trial because he's already crushed he's already destroyed and even if it looks like he's winning we know in our heart he can't we know in our heart who we are we know in our heart is faithful and we don't even back up a step right and then after that trial you know all the more say I tell people if people have passion in their life it's not because they've never been through fire it's because they've been through fire passion in their life is because they're not preaching a doctrine of philosophy it's their reality and and all those new to you you shadrach mission have been Meshach and Abednego had to be the most passionate people on the planet in a moment because what they said they believed they experienced and it became so the reality I believe the best they knew they believed it and they didn't love their own life and they weren't afraid of that fire but I'll guarantee you even though they believed it before they went in they sure believed what they said when they came out they would have been some cool preachers that afternoon saying he's faithful put your trust in him it doesn't matter what you're going through with people like Yale brother you don't know what I'm going through but see you don't realize you think it's just passion at all brother you even fed with a silver spoon ain't never had no test Shadrach Meshach Abednego would have started itinerate native been preaching a gospel that passes through the fire and people would have been comparing their own trials and yeah brother Bertie domine in my shoes yeah you weren't in their shoes so you don't compare your story to story don't you think that what you're going through so much worse than everybody else that is total deception that's actually a line that gives you permission to not be in Christ to actually have exception and live in the flash but you think about Shadrach and Meshach and Abednego that day they got delivered from that fiery furnace and that thing had no power over them and there was no burning and no smell of smoke and when you looked at him you couldn't tell they were in Nebuchadnezzar's fire but I'll tell you what if you really looked at him you could tell they were in fire because what they said they believe became the reality how do you know God shuts the mouth of the lion unless you've been in there in faith overnight well I read it in my Bible brother he has a lot of us read a lot of things in our Bible but then we react react a lot different when circumstances come and then we take what we've read in our Bible as the reason ever fall out because why is it even happening to me in the first place so we think the Bible is a promise of comfort living and circumstance free living no we counted look at this well it's been granted sounds like a privilege it's been granted to you not only to believe in him but the suffer for his sake why because you're setting the record straight it's true sanctification it's a true sign of deliverance it's God's manifold wisdom revealed in the face of darkness through his people Ephesians 3 the inten of God's for the gospel I hope somebody's getting this because I'll feel like I'm preaching pretty good I feel born again I left I left on Monday or Tuesday Tuesday and I said man if I wasn't saved before class I know I am now I saw sure I was before class but I'm saved now John and I was laughing a lot that I have born again baby it just gets brighter the light gets brighter right now watch this four suffer for his sake having the same conflict which you saw in me and now here is in me see Paul's not asking for you to pity him he's saying man let every one of these trials and tests work a greater revelation in you a greater consistency a greater foundation of surrender and a sign and wonder to the world in the demonic I don't love my own life unto death it's never about my own life it's about his life through me and that's where it'll manifest the most right in the face of those things do you sound do you hear it sounds like a privilege it's been granted on behalf of Christ this regret you've been given this privilege to go through things God hasn't kept you in a little bubble in a safe place God has left you in the world but you're not of the world Jesus himself said father I don't pray you take them out of the war but I just pray that you protect him from the evil one do you believe that God is answering Jesus's prayer do you believe Jesus had access to the Father in prayer I don't pray that you take him out of the world we're not segregating we're not you're in heavenly places now he said just protect him from the evil one he said earlier I give you authority over all the well he said to tread upon serpents scorpions over all uh how much power that's not a haughty heady scripture that's an amazing humbling Scripture what he's saying is all that I am and all that's in me I'm given to you because I created you in me I created you to be one with me I created you to be mine and to represent me I hope we hold nothing from you it's not a haughty heady scripture it's not a thing to wield your knowledge around and quote the scripture and tell the devil where to go a lot of Christians have gotten in a lot of trouble doing that stuff Satan is not intimidated and threatened by your knowledge he's not I give you authority to tread upon serpents scorpions over all the power of the enemy and nothing by any means shall harm you they're just what do you call metaphors metaphors I mean you can you guys figure I mean what what do they what do they mean to even man in the natural danger things that bite you poison you there's vulnerability on the earth you go through a desert and a scorpion whacks you in the leg that's a problem what he's saying is watches you always hear me teach about not being vulnerable not feeling well remember the other day I used the little tick thing in the natural knowledge and and the hole in the rattlesnake thing when you understand what he's saying what it's intended to do is take vulnerability out of your life I give you authority over the things you used to feel vulnerable to he's using a metaphor scorpions and serpents and scorpions because that's the things men avoid because it means trouble right so you know if you're walking this way and there's a rattlesnake on the trail you go way out around right not me I got a mess with him I do I care I got a vested with them get them buggers invest with them I just think they're cool it's just me what's your testimony fear that is hot to me I'm not gonna say because I had another kid of spiders you know as soon as I see a spider come to work now a little letter R I'm gonna have like a centipede crawl up my leg freak out I noticed I've been kind of put that into practice there's a spider there's no notice that just in this short period of time at pykon I've betrayed myself or just like John just there was a beer and the next time I see whose natural things right when there's none and then you know it doesn't mean that you you know you have to let a spider crawl over so many ladies are thinking just keep the spiders away it doesn't mean you're you're gonna freak out and afraid I'm actually so it's so funny I'm just looking at my life as he's talking again I'm messing with snakes I can't pass a snake up if I see a rattlesnake I can't pass it up my daughter granddaughter and I and I've done it with my kids for years we'll go out and find the coolest spiders we can find the biggest spiders and stock them in our yard and they make webs and then we feed them so I've been doing that kind of stuff so they didn't say they have a whole different view to me I think it's cool so I'm just not thinking the afraid thank you but that's just the side thought watch this in what he's saying we've been taught fear our whole lives in the church we've been taught fear we've been taught luck be careful who rubs against you be careful who touches you there's a whole lot of doctrine in the church you can tell when it's inspired by God or not because of what it produces if it produces life its Jesus and life abundantly if it produces fear and it makes you vulnerable pert active secluded unsure it's not the gospel it's not Jesus Wow fear of God is a reverence in and off for who he is oh well sure the edge of a cliff so there's there's a net that's just--that's that I'm talking about spiritual fears I'm talking about vulnerabilities as if your life's always in jeopardy like f in any moment if the devil swings the axe right there goes your head come on people live that way a lot of their prayers are stirred by the vulnerability in their lives and then you see one little thing go a certain way and then it feeds that and go see see no wonder you look at that he has an advantage I wonder where he got that ground I'll send your minds gone and then all your prayers are desperate please because you're you're thrown from the place you're called to be established like we just read and and if it says in any way not in any way terrified by your adversary then it must produce a counterproductive thing or invite things if we are terrified it must be important for God to say do not be terrified so if we're terrified we got to get a grip on that and the only way to get a grip on that is not Ujung it's not not treating to be afraid or choosing not to be afraid it's knowing him that's why this whole class has been identity and knowing him in love love love Who I am because of him come on if he went as far as sending his son and putting him on a cross and poured out the same spirit upon us that raised Christ from the dead he must be so for us and have such an amazing plan for us and must see us in such an extraordinary way we must be the most precious thing to him he did not leave us vulnerable it is finished he gave us the kingdom not a piece of the kingdom the kingdom you don't have some of what you need you have what you need but most of that is is so that your perspective comes in line if your eyes not single there's not light you see what I'm saying so if your eyes not single and you start you'd be amazed whoever started to say something there talked to something behind the scenes with somebody or talk about something and then even make comment of a weakness in that area or and then also and found yourself the heat right in the middle of that thing or saw that happen to people there are things that tracks the familiar spirits they track your lives they know where they used to own you and they come back to see it's every thought that rises above the knowledge of God it's a vain and puffed up imagination that rises above then those God where do they come from you're not dreaming it up it's being suggested and interjected there's a fear that used to eat your lunch and now you're born again and that thing will lay low for a while and all the sudden out of the blue look and you think oh man I thought I was over that and all sudden you take it to heart if you're not careful and you sell cheap even though you've been bought at the highest price and one little experience you take your robe off and feel like something's wrong come on so he just lays low sometimes lets you feel free for three months he's feeling for you riding high whoa the gospel yeah it's all fairly good fuzzy good no sudden you're laying in bed and you can't sleep and you toss and turn you feel a little agitated next thing you know a symptom or a feeling comes on you from back when you used to be and then this impression and suggestion of whatever and all the sudden you're like what happened to the freedom oh my god I thought I was home free I thought this was over all of a sudden you take to heart what you're feeling experienced in thinking as if it's you then you bail out and let it wrap around your identity to get it it sounds solid that's how I think and live man everybody always wants to know what's wrong with me I'm trying to tell you people do they asked me a lot of questions in private people I go to church as you come up and saying dude okay I never met any buddy that's thinking like youth attack I can see this as real and I'm thinking it's all of us I'm that this I'm not a strange guy we're all peculiar people come on and join the team we're all peculiar people that doesn't mean we're coops that means we're separate from the rest were peculiar we're like hmm these things are real spiritual things are real I was in a meeting one time and I didn't feel I didn't feel real confident of what was going on and I was concerned I didn't want to be judgmental and presumptuous snap judgment and after everybody left the meeting I got alone with God it's amazing I'm standing there and it was one of the visual spiritual experience that got along with God I was like what's going on today in that meeting and something just didn't seem right and Lord I'm asking you I need your wisdom I want you to teach me if I'm an authority if I'm an leadership I have to understand these things to be able to express my authority so father me and as I'm talking I wet and there's a man standing there right where I'm standing talking there's a man standing there it looked like a man but something was different about him and he was like this he was like this and I said what is that he said it's a principality over the area assigned to keep the heavens boarded from the souls of man shut up and boarded from getting into the souls of men and and and and right before that or after that a friend came to me I didn't share that with anybody he said I want you to pray and the Lord said pray this this and this and gave me an instruction to pray now I have never attacked that principality chased after him I just saw that vision and God said pray this I prayed that and that was it that's all that's what I did now I didn't send him prayer request pray against the Principality over there everywhere they have certain assignments and strategies so watch this about a week or two later I'm in service and heaven was moving obviously they're in the room it's really powerful and all of a sudden that weird something felt like it was cutting it short and I was like Jenna and Austin I got a word of knowledge that somebody had a violent headache right now and Here I am running trying to get this stuff ironed out and I'm learning and here's this lady she said right in the midst of this movement of God in that amazing right in the midst this move of God there her head just burst out in his pain she couldn't stand prayed over and it came off of her found out there was a lot of the crazy stuff started happening well we were talking much about that with people I didn't people didn't know the depth of what was going on but here's this man said to me this man came to me and said man I had the most amazing vision I don't get visions I don't need experiences like this he said but as God started moving he said it's like I lifted out of my body and I'm like what he said yeah he said I went through the ceiling of the church and he said I was hovering I could see everybody but I was hovering above the church and I looked and here was this man he said he looked like a man and he and I said what did he look like and it was just God connecting here was this thing he showed me he said he he did some kind of summons thing as a fascinating he said he did some kind of gesture and I could see the roofs of churches all over York and I saw spirits coming out of the roofs from all over York and they all came to converge over this roof and it was right when something started to shift and got a little weird well here's what's happening he said well what do we do they're taking advantage of vulnerability the ability to get self-conscious in oh my god why do I have to feel this way right now God's here and how come I'm wonder what's wrong with me vulnerability questioning second-guessing not rooted and grounded in love and they're taking advantage of the weakness of men at the cost of the strength of God in our lives they're coming to play every angle they can in the midst of God moving they're coming to take cheap shots wherever they can how they discern and know exactly where they are I'm not totally sure but it could be spirit to spirit communication I'm not trying to get weird on this thing it could be assignments that track people's lives and say just get them here just let's do this here's how hey they're a pushover if we do this they're done that's why we walk in a manner worthy strive together for the faith of the gospel by standing fast in one spirit of course they want it's not a mystery that they want to stop the gospel in the revelation the gospel they don't want you to ever see what they know but we don't have to give them so much power and think it's always about praying against them it's about being formed in Christ it's not all about warfare being formed in Christ some of the people I've seen spend more time in warfare go through more struggles and then all they say as well it's because I do a lot of warfare God is not calling you to warfare at the cost of your identity and your soul and your peace of mind don't wrap your identity around something that's not okay hey he's not throwing you out on the front line to get shot so he can drag you off the field and say well at least you served well brother I got a lot of hands going here buddy Pam's first then I'll get to you okay she's been waiting go ahead here's how I deal with it what do you know me for what do I preach on constantly who we are who we are to be in Christ getting these little cracks and quirks out of our life started it at why because them things have no we're the ruler of this world cometh that's to settle it the god of this world is always coming he cometh he cometh he has nothing in us that's my response preached more of a passionate who we are gospel and calling us to the high call raising a banner raising the standard right because I only prayed against that thing how God instructed me that day and I just made some declarations I just made some declares and I didn't even get into the manifestation at all and when I did it it was amazing and I just don't talk about this stuff much but it was like lightning I never had anything like this it was like lightning shooting out of my fingers every time I made the declaration and it was just incredible so I think what God's saying is listen these things are a reality they're working overtime to keep me boarded up from the souls of men and people actually seeing like the Christians will say this this is what this is vulnerability here's a good example of vulnerability well I just I mean I love God but I just there's something just keeping me from him there's just something it's just I just can't get to him well you don't understand it's just something blocking and we give more emphasis to what's blocking than your access to Him through Christ by faith and all of a sudden you create the stronghold you help establish it you're putting the through few more nails in the board through your wrong discernment and perception you see what I mean the bottom line is there is nothing that can keep you from him if the just live by faith so faith is the answer so how do I respond as a minister you guys see the passion in me you see it in me right now when I talk identity when I'm preaching on becoming love when I when I hit the things that we do call a fence and gossip and I you you guys hear how I preach but it's not bashing you it's hard try it's a list that's walk worthy of the gospel let's just walk worthy of the gospel right so so so there's vulnerabilities to remove so we can say the rule of this world cometh in has nothing in me here's the paradox intercessors the Lord showed me this years ago made me cry intercessors go in and intercede and come against the powers of darkness and fight against the devil rah they leave the room of intercession and within that day if they're not careful are manifesting those very attributes of darkness just through things that are unrefined in their life and they feel like they're called to chop off the head of the enemy when they're called to be perfected and love and be perfected in Christ so they're in here warfare in and few in the very fire that they say they're putting out by walking in bitterness and unforgiveness and jealousy in comparison to other intercessors and hurt by leadership and we're learning ourselves [Applause] there's like a mocking laughter in the realm of the Spirit when a group intercessors that that are indignant towards certain groups and they think they're in a little huddle changing the world when their motives wrong they're sitting ducks your motive is love the only reason you intercede if you have issues with leadership you should be crying for leadership maybe I had pastors in a meeting one time didn't understand my heart and passion it was 60 of them in a room for weeks and and and I thought it was going to be the most spiritual experience of my life I had expectations so I've learned a lot of this stuff along with expectations can fail you I thought oh my goodness I'm invited with all these pastors I'm gonna pray with the pastor's of York 60 of them this could be the most spiritual experience of my life I'm so honored to get in here behind the scenes with the ones that are leading the thing I get in her and I was left down I'm not being crude critical I'm not trying to do you don't have to know who all these pastors were but it was it was very bad it was like a funeral it was no movie the spirit when the spirit did try to move people got uncomfortable it he wanted to be there he was he was it was amazing you wouldn't even imagine the experience I had and when I would pray I would care for the city I would weep a little I'd lift my voice and that was a problem because you're an emotional list and you're this and you're that in your and and it was always a problem and I was I wasn't understood there well I didn't realize I started to take that to heart that started to be a vendetta with me I'm like you guys are so religious you don't even understand god you're just like the Pharisees I start thinking that stuff right so one one day I go to church well wonder the meeting and I got a word of knowledge for two at 8:00 it was so funny they asked me they asked who wanted to teach next week the five minutes while I shot up my hand I was I didn't even I didn't even know what I was doing I'm like I really don't want to do this and I'm like I just shot up my hand like I had this zeal come in me to do it and my mind's gone you're really not into this you really don't have faith for this why are your hand up it was like the leader looked right past me and said three times is there anybody I'm like this anyone is there anyone three times and I'm like this and he says well then I guess Dan will do the five minutes next week he tried to it was so obviously amazingly obvious and and I'm like oh my goodness well I'm trying to keep my heart I understand I have a way greater revelation because of this whole experience and I preached from that now but but I was vulnerable I have a little vulnerability in my life they have to work out who knows that you grow you work things out in your life you're you have many trials and challenges many opportunities to pick up your own life many opportunities to be bitter many opportunity to be in the flesh right so if we're waiting for them to go away just die just just die and go to heaven cuz they're not going away they're the things that help form you and mature you they're the they're the actual opportunities to cause you to stand and be found as fine gold and pure in the sight of God because you don't bite those baits right so I go the Lord gives me two words of knowledge I shared on oh my goodness I shared on I shared right here Philippians 2 I'm trusting I'm sending Timothy to you shortly so you can be couraged I have no one like-minded to send to you but him who will sincerely care for your state and I said to all these pastors isn't it amazing 30-some years into church history the only one he could find that was about Christ and only for Christ enough of their own sake was Timothy if we're in the year 2000 and whatever hobb that we ought to take heed to this and make sure that our hearts are all about him and building his kingdom make sure it's never about us and what we're doing in our kingdom against another kingdom because it's all Christ and I'm sharing this with the pastor's and there's disdain there's like who's this new pastor tell us and assuming that you know they were hearing it wrong I could tell it I said we'll listen guys I don't know where you're at with this I said but the Lord woke me up Saturday morning and shared that Scripture with me and they're saying all you hear the voice of God it was that bad and I said there's a pastor here that this and there's a pastor here that this and I said these are warnings to you sir bambam I said one of you are working with a 36 year old sandy blond haired lady you're jesting you're having comments you're making fun and it seems innocent on the outside but your hearts being snared and right now with the speaking of my words you know exactly what it is and who it is and what I'm talking about those that hard and I said there's another one you're receiving finances and it's not just and in your heart you know it and your conscience is violated but you're saying oh well at least it keeps the ministry going and the Lord saying am I not the Lord God that provided etc turn from this thing stop depending and repent of your ways least the lampstand that you once saw bright be removed that was the word I gave I got like thrown out of the pastor's meeting for pointing out sin they told me they didn't want me there anymore and I was encouraged by a couple people to go back at least one or two more times so I went back one more time but I wasn't wanted there anymore the man with the woman and the secretary came to me with trembling a very well-known man in the county very well now pulled me aside trembling and said I wanted so thank you for your courage and boldness to say what you said last week I know it didn't sit well with everybody but I was the man and I didn't even realize where it was going until you spoke and when you spoke I thought my heart was going to bust out of my chest and I realized I was being seductively snared into something through fun making and it was grabbing my emotions I'm not saying I would have crossed any line but the thing was sure being laid for me very prominent man in the county I looked at him and I smile and I said well God bless you I said you know what I appreciate you humility I didn't even need that affirmation I know and it sounded arrogant I know when I hear God sir I said that's why I was bold he woke me and spoke those things to me I said but here's what you could do for these pastors because they don't understand this kind of gifting why don't you be humble after the meeting and go sit down with the board members because there they want me to not even come here why don't you sit him down and tell them their experience and tell them so that they understand it would help everybody it would help this whole county because of who he was and how they might have heard it he never told him and I'm too much of a man of God to go tell him hey because that's not my place I hope you can hear that right I'm too much of a man because I'm not defending myself I'll go to the slaughter like a lamb before I do that so at very weak God moved in the meeting and a pastor started to pray and I saw literally saw the Spirit of God come upon him and all the sudden he started getting out of hand and the Spirit of God came upon another pastor and another pastor and couple started weeping and the leaders got real nervous and and the one leader said okay look ho and he said the guy's name that was in the middle of praying and said look it's eight o'clock if we don't get out of here now so-and-so I'll never get through the front nine and a lot of pastors started laughing in chucklin and I sat there and bawled probably some of it feeling grieved in my heart justifying well God was so grieved Holy Spirit was so grieved that's why I'm bawling no I was hurt by the reality of where this thing was and my tears weren't don't spiritualize things especially you intercessors go to a church and you see a pastor doing something you're sitting in your chair bawling and you say well just so grieved the Holy Spirit no you're just disappointed he's not doing that gay God's bigger than that grace abounds over sin as if God's the Holy Spirit scuttled on the father's lap you know I understand we can grieve him to where we keep him from doing everything he wants to do in that sense but sometimes people of Prayer give themselves they use that as a spiritual reason why they're so busted broken and ballin all the time you have to be very careful because it doesn't even produce life it actually puts pressure on people and stuff it's not even loving thing to do I know now that I was crying because I was hurt and disappointed with the state the spiritual state of what we call leadership here's how I know that because the whole way back to church bawling I was with my pastor and a man he invited to come and I know now that I was hurt because I remember asking him why did you even invite so-and-so to come why would you even introduce him to this and he said I have faith for this etc and I'm like you know and I was hurt I got in the I ran back into the nursery and I'm ballin so hard I bawled uncontrollably the whole way on the back seat to the church and this guest pastors there my pastor and I finally pulled together and I got out of the car and he said are you okay and I went and I just ran down the hall I slammed the nursery door because I always go there act like a child the nursery I would always go there serious I it was prophetic I would always go to the nursery and I dove in in the dark on the floor and I'm bawling I'm just laying on the floor ball and him ballin and ballin and ballin and finally I felt like I cried myself out and now on my mind's working and I'm I'm getting ready to pray this magnificent prayer and hold the leadership of York before the throne of God in the name of Jesus that's what I was gonna do and I would have felt real spiritual and justified deception because of my motive I didn't see the value then men I was hurt by them man I was appalled I was disappointed I was discouraged I stood to my feet got such a father to me he saved me so many times cuz without His grace we would be blind we would make a mistake so quick and and be sure we're right stake our life on it see when you get so fixed on what's wrong that's a short rap a sign that that's a trap you always live through what's right did you get that you fix on this you don't just troubleshoot and then pray because of what's so wrong you speak God's heart over the situation his destiny his grace is calling the value of the situation and the people involved you stay hooked up to Christ here's what I did I stood to my feet and I'm a mess I've the rooms dark he's such a father I said Lord I just come to you right now and I lift all these pastors before you and you enter loud hush-hush me so he said that has nothing to do with you and I'm thinking but but he said Dan the only reason you're lifting your voice is because your eyes are fixed on what's wrong and if I let you pray from that place it won't be long till something's very wrong with you and I balled and I was back down on the floor ballin and ballin ballin no watch it was an emotional day for me and it wasn't even my time of the month do you know what time it is you're too engrossed today are you like what is wrong with you it was a very emotional day for me but this was very real I stood up finally cried myself out again right and I'm like oh I was so convicted I was so father I was so humbled right there I my heart was brought to such a place of humility through that because I realized how quick how presumptuous how snap judgment and we do all this stuff in the name of the Lord it all appears spiritual but what's motivating us determine outcome determines outcomes and God was fathering me saying Dan you look so spiritual you too thought you and you would have been projecting on those pastors and every time you heard their names or heard about that group your mind you'd have been cynical in your heart you'd have been like what we have whatever gods a million miles from that building serious and he was keeping me from that rut and trap no watch this all happened this day I already was undone and felt like I couldn't take anymore and now I'm so humbled and this is how God worked love into me because there actually was a time where I was disappointed him frustrated but he grew me through these things will change you forever I was failed expectations that's why you hear me teach that stuff was so much passion because I've learned this stuff like we all can firsthand right I'm going up the stairs I don't know if any of you wherever over at your Christian Fellowship from the bottom to the top it has those stairs that goes up there's a deck and you turn and go up it's two flights to the top from down I'm going up the first flight and I get to the square and I start crying and I start crying guys I didn't know a human being could cry that hard it was so from within me I started to feel the love of God for people he was rightly motivating me I was bawling so hard that I was in a fetal position on that square deck and I couldn't even move and I'm ballin and i'm ballin and i'm feeling love for the world love for the pastor's love for people i'm seeing the value of people he was rightly motivating me for future prayer and intercession and I'm bawling so hard that I couldn't even function it felt like too much I literally my mind thought if I cry any harder I'm gonna die that's how I found I can't totally prove this one scripturally there's there's things that Jesus bears witness in your heart that you know makes sense and I can I can I can find stuff but I never even really searched much so you won't be stumbled by what I say watch because Jesus spent all night out on the mountain in prayer right there Jesus was loved right compassion he wept with compassion for the people because they were sheep without a chef so there were tears involved in Jesus's life I stood up I can hardly walk and this thing started to lift off of me but what didn't leave me was that love and that value I stood there because he was because my motives 20 minutes before was hurt failed expectation what was wrong bunch of religious right now you can't even see their potential now he came to see their value uses Markham scribes Pharisees scribes Pharisees against the gospel they're against the kingdom yeah Wow God would be moving this town if it wasn't for a bunch of leadership behind yeah did you ever hear that language you for maybe came out of our own mouths at times yeah I'm standing there and I feel this love and I said Jesus what are you doing to me today what is happening cuz it was it was one of those days he said to my spirits so clear Dan I cried often when I walked the earth in the flesh like this crying for people created in my image who have no clue he put his heart on me Nelson I realized on the mountain all night it wasn't just some verbal thing sometimes it was just the rocks covered with his tears crying for Humanity because he's face to face with the fall and he came to his own and they received him not the worlds were created through him and they knew him not the truth was standing in front of them and they couldn't see past the lie and tears of compassion and love and mercy because we're sin abounds grace abounds more the more lost someone is the more loved after them because it knows who they really are it doesn't say well you just don't want God well you got a hard heart well you made your bed you sleep in it and all of a sudden I realized this is the heart of God it's aria gives me so much grace to get through this stuff but man am i a mess inside right now I walked into the sanctuary and know that I knew that I knew for the first time in my life the love of God for people the way it really is you'll never know that if you're not willing to be corrected if you're not willing to challenge your right to feel the way you feel when it's not productive and to be fathered by him in a secret place to tell me anything I need to know to bring my heart into agreement with heads so I went into the sanctuary I'll never forget it I walked around the sanctuary for the first time in this way the purest of pure places and trade everything Holy Spirit brought to me for people the city leadership from the heart of God and I knew that I knew I came face to face with love that day why because I was willing to release what I thought was right so that I could find this gem called righteousness Jesus said Dan I cried a whole lot like that when I walked here and I believed him because I believed those tears have so much meaning so much heart and motive now you have to watch this for a year and a half he put me in that place every day where I cried and thought I would die and never knew when it was going to come there was no way out of it because I didn't reject it it would hit me in board meetings thank God he would come on me and I could get out of the board meeting it would series says a self motive thank God you do love me no serious I would be in my office people were wondering what was wrong with me even my own pastor sat me down and said I'm concerned are you sure you're not being deceived and I said no because the same joy and passionate love for God's in my life and this heart brought this thing every tear was for people I went through a year and a half where he would show me the state he didn't trust me with the present state of the church in a place of prayer and I would literally see here's what would happen visions of church for years would come to me I would see the vision while I was bawling and they were silhouettes dark figures I could never identify anyone that was never named to no one but I would hear their conversations after church before church things and and I would I would cry and almost die and I would say mercy have mercy and what it did was it built a love in me for his people could go to loving me not a why are we sure got issues Wow people go to church and they're talking like that after the service we ain't got much hope Wow a bunch of hypocrites I wish they'd all get saved he took all that that's not even the only way I read I can use them as examples because I actually hear that a lot from people and I was that way do you understand for a year and a half he put that in me so this Pam just been was part of that response probably to you know to that kind of stuff because he built love in Nate that's why I preached what I preached and then every time that would come on me it was the heart of God for his church the heart of God for his church like he said I don't pray for the world but I pray for these that's what that whole year-and-a-half wise now watch this still have the right to intercede this was it was a sovereign thing it was something I stepped into in my relationship it's not that you're in spiritual if you never had the experience because watch this it was supernatural a year and a half went by and it was in December and he said I went into this place and I'm bawling again and I'm crying and I'm praying and it lifts it up like it would lift like when I could get up off the floor but it felt a little different and I saw little more like up and the Lord said to me I don't even know what this means totally time will tell your tears and your prayers have rung the heavens and heaven is responding and I went and the presence of God came over I remember sitting there just and I realized the honor of whatever I was participating in that thing not doing it just just as he you know something that thing that came on me for a year and a half never came on me after that in that level it was supernatural you can't make your heart care that much apart from grace it took me into a view that you can't possess apart from him it was a gifting it was a calling it doesn't make us unspiritual if we have never cried that way it was strategy of God taking flesh made in his likeness praying his heart back to him so he can move on the earth its intercession it was a whole nother realm I've never experienced anything like that after that except for I can pray intercede tears come on me but when he worked in me through that season is the motive of love and that's why you hear me preach as passionate as I do because it came through me being corrected adjusted fathered and having no rights in the process to hold on to anything less than truth that's where a lot of us stumble we have these reserved rights inside of us where there's lines that can be crossed where there's things where we can be so right that it makes us right because we so see what's wrong yeah but pastor yeah but these men are stopping the king yeah but why well why wouldn't God move him out of leadership well then and we reserve the right to have the feelings attitudes and emotions towards the situation and fail to ever see it through his eyes that send his son while we were yet sinners I hope you're getting what I'm saying here today because this is where our lives are transformed we hold on to little subtle subconscious rights to be things less than the heart of God and natural wisdom permits it and remember yesterday he made foolish that wisdom yeah he made it foolish did you do you still have something to say you still stand-in there I just realized our beloved master is persevering and character and hope and hope doesn't disappoint because he's full of God's love so what do you have I am so sorry I got I felt like God took a pull string like a dog you know and went ten miles and dropped it that's how I felt this whole class I felt like he just took the pull-string out about ten miles and dropped it and it just now caught up and I remembered you when I walked up here an hour ago two hours ago help us see sis he is helping there was something that was so learned in my heart when he was speaking and again remember that when we started to swim one of the things I was talking about was the practical application of what you're hearing how we apply that how does that how does class on Thursday could change life on Friday yeah in the bottle okay so this is really vital but you've had it so much more took but I'm going to come back to I'm going to come back to just a couple of things if I can muscle really fill my fellow compassionately ask Stoppers and stuff right now forgetting that I because I think it's life transforming some of the things we heard if I was to ask you what's the opposite of fear hey compared to your responses in faith it's oftentimes you have faith and fear are offices but actually the fact of the matter is love because perfect love casts out okay now talks about the woman of those women with all the little children running around in the house which their kids you don't mean this woman because once they love everything begins to change even they talk Department who won't go off the couch for four days and we could make all the McMahons and demanded the whole Bible man you can do all that and say let's just goes we're saying all the right stop eating and it's not it so what happens to us we start turning into Erna didn't think oh my gosh what's wrong with me you know because then we start moving to 19 and all the sudden bump it it's important doesn't work for me we turn introverted we just really run in that cell because it didn't work right so I look at the static when you come to that place the block okay realizing the compassion the love for the woman on the couch right then we group to join hands and all of a sudden some changes in the atmosphere because of my faith only works through love so we have to keep them to the bloodlines to be the motivation but when he talks about walk into this house and he sees me right and also that stops tears going into Lisa's bedroom he brought us up the stairs he says like the lion murder is that phrase like a lion yeah right why we see we see a flashlight to most fervid we see a flashlight a photo from that table to that table were freaked out yeah okay did you hear what he said I can't even give that a place to talk what's the difference Commodus the word confidence continued to rise up inside me I mean so we were a good security guys here because the confidence it was like you know what's the difference is I'm going to talk to you just real quick if I can take very long what's this I'm 17 years old I'm awesome for the father cops I was very athletic if the child boxes for the father comes my first matches with a guy who's a champion they figure he's just gonna won't be terribly the story he was a hometown finger and father and the truth is the second island off the mountain okay so if you're a junior in high school you just knocked out a senior who's the champion seven kids okay so soup rates at each school will with junior high or meeting I've seen five seven eight nine ten twelve thirty two thousand kids in high school and they're just eleven control frame and everybody now knows my name can I say that confidence you know maybe some kid looks at you run one piece of me because there's something about that one that first match won my second match it was pretty easy Thurman hats are fighting them about the heat it's a guy inside his name is name those early he was from Valencia we were actually in Valencia where the boxing that's was and my coach is telling me how wonderful I am meets W domestic complex and it's so you notice that it's the whole southpaw thing and I used to further not used to Boston left-handers and how you can beat this down I get to the ring right a nerve Ireland this guy he's uh he's actually he's a boxer it's also voted herati T and it's not as olympic scholarships and out of the well he isn't the guys like six one third how do you get inside that if you donate my boxes you want to be inside this guy's got reached it's unbelievable and I stayed the first rabbit will get it a little bit by the third round I'm petrified of this guy ever in the middle around you know me we talk to you man the reality is that sometimes in the spiritual ground we can say all the right stuff we can know all the right friends of franca means we can have an intellectual understanding of all the doctor beauty points and now all of our eschatology damanov our theta in the right places the fact of the matter is if you don't have a confidence in who you really are when the flashlight folks from point A to point B you're freaked out the difference is confidence talk to you about it just for a minute if I can because that's soap my heart that he ran up the steps after he didn't run from it he ran after it he didn't call up seven people would stick it over her foot we got to have a prayer of our person and we'll speak in tongues for 35 minutes and then maybe we'll go knock on the door and see if we have permission to come in and cast it out if you follow our Sabbath the things in my house right privilege or authority there as a matter of fact when we come to the place of understanding that we have the authority that's what Luke 10:19 is all about but there's a transition of authority and that gives us confidence if your final harvest Chapel where you've been to services at some point if you've been to Mordor free services you probably heard me say something along this line grab hands with the person next to you they're very they're very weird I'll say I don't even know what's in there I don't think you're kidding me right we're talking here about situm I know it's in me so I'm never afraid of what sits on me I'm thinking that whatever something's gonna get over being it's a good day for God you know I mean because you've got to have confidence in what scene you let an amazing lady here I won't get into a village if I said she raised 92 people from the dead you probably narrowed that down okay but she had this thing in her life where she would not allow anyone to touch her because she knew there had been witches and warlocks that have been assigned to her and she didn't want them touching her and that that's so weirded me out because I don't even understand that Dan talks about the witch comes into the service you know the best thing you do hugger pattern believe them whatever sin you study get on are not rubato to come you would never do that if you don't have confidence in it it really comes right down to that one thing and that's important resonated over and over an hour but I want to say this because there's a fine line you need to hear this fine line there's a difference between having confidence in yourself and having confidence in your God dan said something you need to write this down because when you said that really maybe somebody did I didn't see more than anybody writing but if it was a race that was incredible to me he said Jesus is not just the truth he's the truth about you he's the truth about you it's very coastal that's right work closely I'm hearing that is God man I'll write that down it's not just the truth he's the truth about you like Jesus in other words what Don says you Jesus doesn't want you to just see him as Jesus he wants to see you in him and him in you you're hidden in Christ you're he doesn't see you apart from him and him apart from you we're together were one you get it sometimes we think all what is Jesus confidence because it's really really major and pasture damage it is hard about so much about this I've watched a lot of people that have gone into what I'm gonna call spiritual warfare okay and it's a terminology that really hit the church when about ten years ago they ran ran booth for a while I want to say this this is a real strong phrase I've preached us a few months ago you're not going to fight down Jesus already fought Helen one day you're called to agree with help you just agree with heaven and you don't have to go around fighting him do you understand that that's really a whole lot of a pastor damnable saying we don't have to focus on the problem we already got the answer let's focus on the answer listen that's not even praying probably spent so much time frame the problem we've spent so much time fighting out with exhausted ourselves yes you don't even have to fight he'll just agree with that so you're not running around looking for a demon behind every bush I have included a church for several years you were still in the class and she was coming up with that money the Stevens that the incest team inside and that door I said honey if you would spend half the time chasing God that you did I'm here with demons energy sandwich deep enough sneeze on me just talking to you really straight please understand that your confidence says in the face of anything you are called to stamp I love the verse from Philippians 1 as a matter of fact next week we're going to go into Philippians I love that verse and nothing too terrified by your adversaries why because it's in you man he's in you he sent you but we won't get anywhere even understand that word confidence I ended up losing that third fight there guy named or violent by points because I was terrified of his appearance the truth of the matter is in the third round I don't even know why this is so with my head but it's just so dinner in the third round I got inside of my him in his stomach and I'm telling you man it was a bread basket shot and he doubled over and alternate Emmons left Oh kinda took him right out I know that I trained for that but I was so excited that just backed up a bloke daddy you know what happened they ended up beating me by points it would have been easy to dust them but I had been so intimidated by his appearance because he had arms longer than anybody I'd ever fought against there's some big huge boy and the truth of the matter is I had everything inside of me to take him out right do you understand it sometimes come on let's cut what it is do you know why they could run some brushes Aegina please read 1st Samuel 17 and understand David ran toward the giantess he says you uncircumcised philistine yellow man can you picture glasses huge 9:26 giant in this tuning road little puny David runs he ran too far got up and looked as did you on surp side in their mind the Philistine No I was a pastor non-classic right there this is in the process of that he understands who he is right and all of Israel had their eyes fixed on Goliath listening to his words looking at his sight and they were just they had the same covenant as David but they were looking at the Giant David was looking at God it's the simple message and the Giants workers didn't even mean to think today not David said I tell you something worst eyes today you'll know that there's a God of Israel Mason you know what's the word the worst confidence if there's one thing that I really believe we lack in the body of Christ I don't know a lot of people that would chase a demon upstairs hey when I'm staring wait a second gladiating downstairs God have mercy on my kids God protect my kids come on honey let's go out in the port we've gotta get to that point where our confidence overtakes the Giants in our life ja here where my heart is that an ethic that resonated in me so much back there a little while ago yeah because I honestly believe that that's a place would be to dispel before the Lord I think it's okay to pray for an increase in your confidence yeah but I can tell you that an increase in your confidence is only gonna come from an increase in your identity it still comes back to past events trying to pour into us right now is until I had everything inside of me to take her of Ireland ours it was there was there would have been no problem I just stood there not sure whether I put her on because I was so intimidated by looking at him right when you look at him you forget who you are exactly and that's exactly where it's at well I want to give you a scripture just look up over the weekend and what not look pastor's talking at E Bruce 10 you can start in verse 34 it says don't throw away your confidence and it's in the face of them being plundered of their goods and certain adversities it says therefore don't throw away your confidence it has great reward watch this for you have need of endurance so that after the will of God has done you can receive the promise and then it goes on to talk about we're not those who draw back we're those who believe to the saving of the soul that means the renewing of your mind and emotions to get on the page of truth get your mind restored right by not backing off so you study that out and you'll see that that if you look in Hebrews what pastor saying don't throw away your confidence it's great reward why because if the adversity shatters your confidence you'll step out of the place of perseverance and endurance and it's saying that there's no way to fulfill the will of God without enduring because we're all going through the same storms your brothers over the Earth's are going through the same things all of you that's why you don't single yourself out and then read what it talks about at the end about the just living by faith and that he's coming and not terian and we're not those who draw back because if we draw back his soul has no pleasure that doesn't mean he dislikes us he can't take pleasure in our creative value and fulfill the reason he made us when we draw back he can't fulfill his will and destiny through our lives and it's the good pleasure of his will right so he can't take pleasure net but it says we are not those who draw back we don't see the flashlight move and go hall and get impressed why because we are already so impressed with him that it exposes this for what it is this is just this little sign show this is a little central show to get you in it's to get your attention it's to get you back into senses give him no place don't be unaware of his devices we should not be moved by what he's doing because we're so consumed by what Jesus has already done to get it did you ever hear me make the phrase that I don't think about the devil did you ever hear me and make that phrase that's today this whole thing is this putting stories to that and I and I say if he gets in the way or he shows up we deal with him but I don't think about him he's a cut-off wither and grant I shared some stories today to show you that probably really made that clear I'm not devil huntin I'm seeking Jesus I'm submitting to God resisting him when you submit him to him the Lord you're resisting the enemy true so let's just pray some over you guys it's it's fitting this is the weekend remember the meditation on the scripture thing this was big in my heart we didn't teach it today but I see what was in my heart if you remember I said to the Lord put me in Philippians 2 I'm just inviting you into Philippians 2 just just to just 2 verse 16 and maybe over this weekend if you open your Bible at all just purpose to meditate there and first Peter chapter 4 it's two places that defines the mind of Christ if there's two places that define the mind of Christ that would probably be a good place to blend into and become one with huh rather than just be the confession and say I have the mind of Christ well it just might not be like that I'll have the mind okay I might not be a haughty confession or a triumphant the mind of Christ is a very humble amazing thing so if you read Philippians 2 you'll see in 5 it says let this mind be in you which was also in Christ meditate there put into practice this weekend what we were teaching this week about communing with God and take that section of scripture Philippians 2 through 2:16 and watch and see what Holy Spirit unfolds in you you get it remember I was there for 13 weeks putting it in me then I go through all this thing with the pastors and God has these encounters with me or I have these encounters of God and you adjust in my heart he's forming my heart he's mature my heart it's because of this word it makes it all viewable and visible I wouldn't have a clue to even step into that if I haven't put this thing in the seed I mean God's Word is the entranceway to light he's magnified his word above his name camp out there and and look and see what the mind of Christ really is and then surrender and yield and come an agreement with the mind of Christ it would be a good day okay all right you had your hand up basically totally what you're doing versus putting our hotness and died fear and God state confidence in that power this is where rule and arthritis that's exactly right and it's averted the reality of his own ability what he had and everything he get your eyes on the wrong thing I've heard preachers say fear is just faith in the devil faith in the wrong thing there's a truth there there's a truth there tenant so we want to become loved amen love is the most powerful form of intercession on the planet the pure in heart shall see God so father we just thank you that you're moving us into that place in such an amazing way every one of us there's not one person that you're not moving in and working in in a beautiful way it's true he's working in every one of us you've sowed the seeds of truth into us and we just thank you for this day I thank you for this day and just thank you for what you're working in us for your good pleasure so father we just thank you we all personally grab those things that are so prevalent we grab the nuggets of truth that you're speaking directly to us and father we just thank you that grace is imparting them and and making them real to us that we're becoming one with you more and more every day knowing you more and more we thank you Lord God for the grace in our lives in Jesus name Amen [Music]
