wants to praise god in that hospital room and when they told her they said your left vocal cord is paralyzed at the moment and she said well that can't be because i i have to sing i have to praise him and if she at 20 years old has that that intensity to praise god then who are we not to give god everything that we have it could be you in that hospital room it could be you in that hospital room so

the cross me my glory [Applause] [Music] shall fight best [Music] i'ma sing that first verse again and there's this there's a special anointing you know when we have certain individual ones that we

away when she was 10 years old of cancer the young ladies totally terrified and then come to tell her her vocal cord is going to be paralyzed this is nothing but the powers of darkness but god must be orchestrating some incredible awesome miracles [Applause] [Laughter] when i get to that part that says free to all a healing i want you to wave your hands before the lord and kendall if i know you're

they're gone tonight gone tonight [Music] hallelujah you make your way back to your seat we're getting ready to take communion how old are you buddy 20. what happened to you well i was dealing with some things struggling and i had this dream i shared on friday night it's about walking out of your chains and i felt led to tell it tonight basically i i was standing on a block of cells prisoner cells and one by one i heard each of them i heard the buzzer for the for the cell to close and one by one each one turned to go and they went into their cell and the warden came up to me and he said what about you and i i sunk my head and i turned to go and i heard this voice that says you know you don't have to whoa you know you don't have to see what what had happened was my prison i had made my bed in here it was all comfortable in here but the door was wide open i didn't want to walk out but i couldn't stay in these chains for long [Music] and what i realized was the door was wide open and i heard the voice tell me you know you don't have to and i've i felt the wind brush across my face and i heard from somewhere inside of me the scripture be not conformed to the image of this world be transformed by the renewing of your mind because we are more than conquerors we are more than conquerors we are more than conquerors through him that loved us amen hallelujah to the lamb of god bless the name of jesus [Applause] let's give god praise for that [Music] glory [Music] love that rest [Music] when you came in tonight they should have given you a a little uh little cup with juice in it that's got a wafer on top of it of unleavened bread if you did not receive that and you want to get it right now just go ahead and tell them you need it brittany's going to come out and sing another song about the blood and we're going to get ready to receive the lord's supper because tonight it's all because of calvary it's all because of calvary now that's a good place to say amen now you've got to learn how to shout when there's no music our victory is all because of calvary [Applause] we are what we are because of the cross of the lord jesus christ this is our fourth service today you watching by internet if you would like to join us jesus said as often as you do this do this in remembrance of me taking the lord's supper thank you jesus hallelujah [Music] so [Music] hallelujah [Music] of life's demons shameful sin placed on him in the hope of every man [Music] hallelujah [Music] is save your son holy one [Music] he is [Music] oh it was a sacrifice [Music] you know this is not only a time of giving honor to the lord's death burial and resurrection his suffering but the bible said it's a time of self-examination it's when before we receive the lord's supper and i know this new modern american church that's operating under the spirit of apostasy there i've heard i've never been there because i'm only around my kind of people but i've heard that they'll sing secular music shake hands and talk about their golf game while they're eating the lord's supper and walking the aisles and not even giving any respect at all well that's totally against the bible the bible said if you treat the lord's supper without respect you're going to become weak and you're going to suffer a lot of physical illnesses because god will lift the hedge that's what he says in the bible i never wrote it so let's pray right now jesus i'm asking you lord to search my heart if there's anything that i've done lord that's offended anybody anything that i've said lord if my pathway is has not been pleasing to you give me a special cleansing from the top of my head to the soul of my feet you know my heart i love you you know the weaknesses of my flesh you know the passions and lusts that we deal with now in the mighty name of jesus we receive this ultimate forgiveness because your word said if we confess our sins you're faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness so now that i say thank you jesus there is no condemnation to them which are in christ jesus i'm going to receive this lord's supper with boldness not with guilt my guilt has been nailed to that cross i'm going to receive this lord's supper as oneness with my savior that he died that i may have life and have it more abundantly and i thank you god for that and i thank you lord because all sin has been covered by the blood and all guilt has been removed and i rejoice in the righteousness of god in christ jesus now can we say a hallelujah hallelujah jesus took bread you can receive the lord's supper kneeling standing at the altar we don't have any rules around here it's between you and god you don't have to be a member of this church you don't have to be a pentecostal you just have to be born again by the spirit and only you know that only you know if you've been born again now father in the name of jesus you took bread and you break it you blessed it and you gave thanks we thank you for your body that was broken for us jesus said take eat this is my body which is broken for you [Music] he then took the cup the bible calls it the fresh fruit of the vine not intoxicating liquor he took the cup and he blessed him and he gave thanks he said without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin and he said i will drink no more with you of this cup until we meet in my father's house and what a day that will be jesus said take drink all of it do this in remembrance of me hallelujah now let's give him praise for that blood just hallelujah hallelujah come on now sing that song brittany with all you can hallelujah hallelujah [Music] well there's kendall on facetime hallelujah go ahead she can wave to her [Applause] she takes she's on the phone and she was able to celebrate communion with us but she said at the time that pastor said she said she felt the power of god in her room yes and i believe when jay was singing there was a special anointing there was faith that arise and jay i felt the anointing and the power of god in the room and i'm sure that's what kendall felt but praise god i just have faith to believe that god is able to do what he says he'll do amen and when the anointing fell on me i said god what is the spirit of god saying and i just heard believe on me believe on me so will you believe with me for a moment while we have kendall on the phone heavenly father we come before you almighty god you are el shaddai and when we call on that great name you are able to do exactly what you said you're able to do for the power of the cross is in this house and faith is in this house lord let faith arise and your enemies be scattered father god we command healing the blood of jesus to come down for kindle god bring her up out of that grave god heal her vocal cords god heal her body that she may be a living testimony that come love look and see what jesus did for mia amen amen christ it is healing powers [Applause] yes let's give the lord a clap and a shout of praise come on [Applause] praise the lord i know you know after this pandemic and i'm the reason why i don't have my mask on because neither do you and i i was i was keeping it oh i got this i hate this one this one's terrible this one here will tear up your lungs i got some good ones but i keep one in my pocket maybe there's

move on i know pastor is and we're going to get this thing paid off we're believing by the end of this year one way you can help do that is just check out the merchandise over here and that way all proceeds can go but it is more blessed to give than it is to receive i've i've been given a lot in my life as a young man i've received many holy ghost handshakes come on anybody know what a holy ghost handshake is that's a handshake with a 20 bill in it yeah i've been blessed as a young man and i've had people give i mean even our own pastor paying for my own college education when i was a young man giving me a free home to live in and buying me suits when i traveled with him and and just how much he poured in and i'm thankful for all the pastor gave to me and what the lord enabled him to give to me but i'm to a stage in my life where i get to start giving some of that back and i'm telling you it's more blessed to give than it is to receive amen and so you've got the opportunity to give tonight in our offering uh and our regular ties and offerings and and people i don't really like the term of it's time to pay our tithes and offerings because i don't feel like it's a bill uh it's it's it's the one check i get a joy and a pleasure to write every single week and uh i tell you what right now i can't afford not to pay my tithes that's the way i've heard it say amen and so i'm

would like to acknowledge those who have partnered with this ministry to be a partner it's 25 dollars a month and that's about the size of a of a large pizza hut pizza supreme with everything on it mountain dews and some breadsticks maybe a salad and if you could sacrifice that up and partner with us we'd appreciate it when i was on tbn we had over 1800 partners and they were coming in by the groves but they're not coming in like that anymore and we have 1500 but we are believing that out of the 30 000 people that are watching right now by internet and this afternoon at four o'clock on daystar network there were a million around the world but we have over 100 000 that watch on daystar every sunday at four o'clock that's easter four o'clock eastern standard time and if we would just get out of the 30 000 they're watching 10 if we would get 3 000 partners that would be enough extra that we could build that building and go right on amen that's cause for an amen and so we're believing but here's the people that came in this week we got vicki and ray from wilson north carolina and barbara all the way from the west coast bar bakersville california carl and charlotte from

pray that god will draw them the partners we have are the best partners you'd ever find they've sent ten thousand dollar checks to pay off this building fifteen thousand dollar checks to pay off this building they are working overtime to help us do something for the kingdom of god and we thank god for that i want you to stand i'm going to read one scripture this is not going to be lengthy but i think it's going to be very important look we got people all the way the back wall in that balcony well let's say hallelujah hallelujah and it's 7 31 and we're all still here my my my first chronicles chapter 21 verse 1 and satan stood up against israel and provoked david to number israel just for a few moments tonight we're going to deal with the subject satan stood up against israel let's pray father we come to you in the name of jesus guide these lips of clay lord let this be seed to the sower bread to the eater now in the mighty wonderful name of jesus i'm asking you lord let me preach with so much love mercy and compassion and most of all lord as your bible teaches me with demonstration and power of the holy ghost we'll give you all of the praise in jesus name let the church say amen you may be seated just for a very few moments we're dealing with the subject satan stood up against israel you know satan is not a villain of the old testament that's like some created figure that represents evil he is a vile wicked evil spirit at one time he was the minister of music in heaven he led worship he was the most beautiful he was the most talented he had everything going for him but this one called lucifer he never realized it he never had any open actions against god he never smoked a joint never got drunk never ran off with an angel had an affair he simply in his heart began to say i am bound by this word of this god this word has put me in a habitat it is my habitat to praise and to worship but if if god would let me be released from his word but he won't do it because he knows i'm just as smart as he is he knows that i'm just as powerful as he is so he won't turn me loose from his word to be what i want to be and do what i want to do i don't know how long this went on in his heart i don't know how long that god because god's patience are so great but jesus said i was there i was in god god in the father god in the son god in the holy ghost he said i was there i was in god i beheld satan fall as lightning from heaven satan was cast out of the celestial city he looked up into the balconies of praise and worship and some of the angels sighed can you believe that lucifer he just got fired he just got kicked out can you believe that god looked up and said and y'all want to go there's the door i'm not making you stay with my word any longer against your will you want to follow him you can go one third of those beautiful angelic beings that were created by god they departed from the celestial city and turned into hideous demonic powers of darkness that's as far as i'm going with the origin of this evil one called satan he's the father of every lie he's the master of deceit every good and perfect gift comes down from above from the father of lights in whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning if it's evil if it's sensual if it's something that will kill destroy if it's something that will steal from you it has been orchestrated and designed by this wicked evil vile creature that one day has an appointment and on that appointment he will be cast into the bottomless pit where he will be enchained for eternity in le in flames of fire he has a destiny but until then he plays havoc upon god's creation because he hates you because even though he was most beautiful he was not made in the image and likeness of god even though he had all of these talents and abilities you couldn't look at lucifer and see god but when he looks at you you are the mirrored reflection of god he hates your body he wants your body sick he wants your body destroyed i don't say anything anymore because of the change of culture and it's not that i'm afraid to say anything it's just this the outward appearance has gone to the point we basically just nail it distinction between sexes as the bible teaches and modesty that's about as far as you can go the rest of the stuff you have to walk according to this bible and open it up [Music] you don't need somebody following you around when your top's hanging out your bottoms hanging out your sides are hanging out i mean i don't think i'm i don't think i'm uh i don't think i've joined the amish people to say that it's totally indecent to have a string up your back end on the beach you might say that's my personal opinion there's one person that said that that the rules of modesty are different for different people she said uh in my line of work was she's a model now she's testifying to this in a spirit-filled church oh in a church that claims to be spirit-filled because the first work of the holy ghost is to convince us of sin and if there's no conviction of sin i don't care how much they jump up and down and how loud they talk in tongues she said in my line of work i can't follow the same guidelines of modesty as other people because i'm a model and i take a lot of nude pictures oh isn't that sanctified isn't there something like that one went to even as far and was even a guest on a christian tv program that she was a stripper but she's leading a lot of people to the lord lord who i'd like to know what kind of victory they're getting out of that so we're living in a weird crazy day brothers and sisters it's gonna get weirder and gonna get more crazy the revised roman empire is gonna duplicate everything that rome did and the leader of rome was one of the most vile wicked evil perverted ungodly i can't even tell you how bad he was and be and be using good language good communication so it's not going to get any better but we all must realize behind everything that's evil you've got to realize this behind everything that wants you to hate wants to pull you away from this bible wants to pull you away from that cross wants to separate you from godly people in your life it is orchestrated by the demonic organized army of satan [Music] so we find here in the book of chronicles chapter 21 we find that david's already made one mistake it was written in the scripture that when you bring the ark of the covenant in you've got to do it with levites the levites have to set it on their shoulders and david said well you know i'm rich i've got a palace and i'm wearing a crown and you look at my track record i've destroyed the i've destroyed the the hivites i've destroyed the philistines and and you know look look at my track record i'm gonna do it a different way and when he tried to do it a different way it brought death and he had to put a stop to his little his little celebration for three months and god wants us to know i don't care if you're the richest man in the world which david was i don't care if you live in a palace i don't care if there's a crown on your head you don't say to me that my thoughts are higher than your thoughts and my ways are higher than your ways you don't look at god and say well i know god said this but this is what i say it can't feel wrong when it feels so right 1970s you light up my life and a lot of young people it's a good song but it's got one line in it that's totally humanistic which it means that no matter what we do it can't be wrong it just feels too right this adultery just feels right this lifestyle feels right it's the way i want to be when your thoughts are exalted above this word you have opened up the door to allow the adversary to come in and begin to cause havoc upon your life now we can do things ignorantly and the bible said he'll even wink at ignorance he'll wink just like a little kid he'll say oh they're they're just little kids they don't know what they're doing he'll wink at ignorance but open rebellion that knows what god has required and you say i know that's what god wants but i've got a better idea david calls the problem and then here he is possibly 20 years later getting ready to have another one he said to joab who was there right his sister's son his nephew he goes wow joanna look at all this victory we got here's what i want you to do i want you to go out and i want you to number all the children of israel i want you to number all of our military i want you to number all of our all of our strategic plans that we have joab i want you to put it down because i want it on record that when david dies he conquered this and he conquered that and he did all of that and look at this big powerful army that he's the one that put it together joab said what are you serious god can win with a little or god can win with much what are you talking about david don't you remember when yours oil put on your head and he was only 16 years old and you stood in front of that nine foot giant don't you know when you waited for the wind to blow in the mulberry trees before you went against the enemy don't you remember these things david what's going on in your life but the bible said he was so stubborn and so obstinate yeah i'm talking about david that shakes the tambourine i'm talking about david that dance before the lord with all of his might the bible does not keep anything out of this scripture because he wants to want you to know that you will never save your flesh your flesh cannot be saved your spirit is saved but your flesh must be crucified in order that the man of the spirit may live you can never glorify god in your flesh flesh cannot glorify god flesh cannot even compare to this spiritual awareness the bible said the enemy came day after day day after day and provoked him that word provoke their means enticed david look buddy before you die before you die you're going to have to you better put in writing all this big army you've got you better put in writing all these victories you better put it down so they can read your legacy and they can say look at the army that david had look at all these things the bible bible said the enemy provoked he came over and over he pushed and he pushed and he pushed and he pushed you see all action comes from a thought in the mind and the devil comes to your mind that's why the bible said the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through god for the pulling down of strongholds casting down these mental images and every thought that exalts itself above the knowledge of god when the thought comes and it's in its contrary to the word of god you immediately have to say oh i know who's bringing this thought this isn't just because this isn't me thinking now there's somebody making me think like that this isn't me making me think to go against my church and my family this isn't me thinking right now this isn't me caught wanting to walk away from the presence of god this isn't me thinking right now this isn't me that's thinking that says they don't love you out there you need to get yourself out of here that's not me thinking there's somebody evil behind it there's an orchestration going on the satan is not a villain from the past he is a present day power of darkness he is a disembodied spirit that is waiting for his day to control the earth for seven years but it is not his day right now because there is a group of people that's on this earth that have been covered by the blood that have the keys to the kingdom of heaven that whatever you bind on earth it shall be bound in heaven whatever you loose on earth this shall be loosed in heaven this is not the day of satan this is the day of the kingdom of god this is the day of the church of the lord jesus christ he was provoked he was provoked over and over and over and over and enticed and enticed and finally he did exactly what his mind told him to do and when he did i'm not going to go through the entire story but the end what what happened was 70 000 people in his country there was a plague that was released god just backed up said satan they won't listen to me it's your turn and when god lifts the hedge don't ever want that i am shiatable you don't ever want that you don't want when god just backs up and says he won't listen to me i've had grace i've had mercy i've come to him i've sent people to him i've done whatever and god just backs up and when he backed up that hedge was lifted no it wasn't lifted very long so the bible said the pains oh sickness fever started happening people began to fall over dead it was a hundred then two hundred then a thousand then ten thousand then twenty thousand then forty thousand fifty thousand it was up to seventy thousand and god stepped in and put his foot down he said that's enough i can't take it anymore i've heard the screams i've heard the cries satan get out of here that's enough it's enough i want you to know the evil one i've got a picture here of me in guatemala if they'll if you can find i don't know exactly how they came this is there's one with me with the with a that's sister craft go ahead and show the other one i want them to see this one which one is the native right hallelujah this is the pastor's mother brother virgil vergilia she was one of the first ones to get baptized in the holy ghost in the jungles back many years she was in her 80s and you can tell that was a long time ago just by looking at me now i want you to go to sister craft sister craft had come into her and brother craft had come into guatemala there was one area where the witch doctor and someone said i don't believe in a witch doctor i don't believe and know which doctor i'm gonna show you something in just a few moments i do know there is a real devil there is a real satan and the same satan that has power to do these horrible things is the same one that's talking to your mind you think he's over in some foreign country somewhere i'm telling you he's the one that rides on your shoulder he's the one that tries to get you out of the presence of god because he can't touch you as long as you're in the covered by the blood in the presence of god he cannot out he cannot even get near you there is nothing that can come nigh your door except it come by the blood of jesus and it won't happen to you sister crap they came and they were having the witch doctor had so much bondage over this part of the jungle there was no way they could break through and in the middle of the night the man that owned the hardware store there was only one hardware store in this portion of the jungle it was no more than a wood shack with a with a metal roof on top of it that's what you call a hardware store but the man was awakened and when he was awakened all at once the cans of paint were coming off now sister craft told me this and she was a woman of integrity she told me she said brother bates she said the cans were coming off of the shelf in the air the lid was popping off of them and there would pour yellow paint blue paint there would pla all colors of paint all of the paint and paint was very precious she said it was one of the most precious things in the jungle it took a long time for paint to come to that part of the country and these that was terrified the man that owned the the hardware store he says what am i going to do this evil thing has happened it was real slow the paint can would come out slow and right in front of him the lid would come off brother and sister craft came over there they watched the can come in the air they watched the top come off of him and they watched the paint begin to pour and when that happened uh sister craft said brother kraft said satan i command you to stop it in the name of jesus and when brother craft brother craft he wasn't allowed pentecostal preacher he had crippling arthritis there were three different three different groups of pentecostals that would not sponsor him they said you're too crippled and you're too old so without any sponsorship he left the united states and barely made it with his hurt feet and crawled up the steps of that plane but he stood there as weak as you could be in the flesh a six foot four man a big german man he said satan i rebuke you and every one of those cans of pain went back on the shelf and the devil was defeated and that's one of the most powerful places in guatemala right now glory to god but that same demon is the one that talks to you that same devil is the one that wants to separate you from the body of christ that same devil is the one that wants you to walk in rebellion to the word of god you've got to know who your enemy is your enemy's not your mother your enemies not your father your enemies not the preacher your enemy's not the church your enemy's not the people of god your enemy is that culprit that liar satan himself the next pete blex place we went though i've had i've got so many stories on haiti it's too many to tell i'm just gonna sum this up quickly if you'll go to the next picture of haiti me and pastor steve martin no steve steve mullins oh lord who is steve martin is he a preacher i've heard that name somewhere and so steve mullins this is inside the mission complex inside of this mission complex the walls are 20 feet high and and bradley's here with his mother they know this is the church they attend the walls are over 20 feet high they have cut glass on top of the walls they have barbed wire on top of the walls i when i go i'm in complete safety on the inside when we have the conference there's so many people this entire area is filled with people they have tents that they sleep in they bring and so most a lot of them the men especially they sleep on the ground they don't they come for this conference and while we're there the power of god was moving and i don't know if you remember it bradley or not but the the one night when we were they i left that that was a that was a haitian devil i let the haitians take care of it i mean i prayed for a while but this this is a wild devil and you could hear him i was laying in the bed and it was like three o'clock in the morning you could hear that [Applause] and they get and they were speaking in creole casting out the devil and i said oh get him out two nine get her out tonight get that devil out tonight well i'm telling you this because i want you to see i want you to see another picture when i got home after when i got home i never told this to anybody until just now i told to my mom the other day and she's watching right now on the internet i have never shown it i have not told anybody because i don't like to give the devil any glory at all but the spirit of god told me to tell it tonight to let you know that you are not dealing with some villain of the past you are dealing with a present power of darkness that has one thing in mind that's to kill to steal and to destroy when i got back from the country of haiti i i woke up in the morning and i was getting ready to go out and when i did it felt like a cat scratched me on the leg i went oh my goodness what was that i lifted up and looked at my leg and there was the scratch marks i went that is weird there's something strange going on and then a little later on that afternoon i felt the scratch across my shoulder went to the kit went out there there was the scratch marks the scratch marks this went on for almost a month i'd feel the scrape of a cat scraping me just like a like a vile scratch of a cat and then i would look and the scratch marks would be there i rebuked it i said i know who this is this is that witch doctor over there i said you're mad that i went to haiti but i'm gonna tell you send news to haiti it must take a long time to get a message over there that witch doctor must have took a while to get there because i wrestled with this thing for a month until finally one day and the reason why i showed you the picture on the arm because that was the only sanctified place i could actually show and when this cat's spirit this demonic power and i'm not against cats i like them to be in a barn to eat the mice i'm not worried about a cat but i'm talking about this demonic spirit it scratched me across the arm and that time i thought well i'll get a picture of this one because most the time it was across my rib cage it would go all the way down my back it would go through the back of my legs it would go on the side i never knew when this scratch was going to happen but when i when it came to me i felt the demonic powers of hell and i knew exactly what it was and here's the proof right here that's right after the scratch it would last probably about 20 minutes and then the scratch would leave now if you've got medical science and biology people that's out there watching in internet land and you want to say oh i can explain this well then you do a good job and let me know what it was but as of now i know it was tormenting i know it wasn't orchestrated by god and i know it left in the name of jesus hallelujah now i had a dream the other night and i wasn't going to tell this and i'm going to end with this i wasn't it was this week i dreamed that covington kentucky had turned into a very populated place like it used to be when i was a child i dreamed that it was almost like flea markets there was you know different places where they were making things and mom and dad wanted to go down to see it and so they had driven their car and i i had driven mine we were down in covington where the old coppins used to be and pike street is here it's that big four-way place right and cut old covington and there was a crash of a car and i said dad i said there's a there's been a wreck i said you and mom need to go i'll get my car and i'll come back home later. so i remember seeing i got mom and dad on the road and they were headed back south back to independence and there was a big dumpster a big truck that was a dumpster where people put the garbage but this one had a claw like lift i've never seen a dumpster like that i don't know if they make one or not but it was a claw on top of this dumpster and it would reach and get garbage and put it in the back there was a two-story building that they were cleaning out and this claw went into the two-story building but when it came out it had buffing wheels well that got my attention because our family business was manufactured buffing wheels it was called southern buff company buffing wheels that buff chrome and metal steel copper and so i thought oh my goodness there's buffing wheels in there i don't even know of anybody in this in covington that's dealing with buffs i'm gonna have to find out where these buffing wheels come from and i'm telling you this because everything was so innocent on my part now this big truck that was a dumpster that had this claw on it the only way to get up to the driver was there was a like a ladder made out of metal and i've seen those before on concrete trucks so i went up three or four runs on the ladder to talk to the man he was on the driver's side and i was on the passenger side but when i got up so far there was a little ridge just about this wide inside that truck about five feet about two feet and i saw a man's hand and i went oh my god this there's a dead man up here this man's dead [Music] i saw his hand it was real brown dark dark brown like he'd been baked in the sun [Music] and i went to back off i thought oh this is this is too much when i went to back off he turned around he moved and that made me feel good because he wasn't dead but he was drunk and he was spanish [Music] and he was laying there in a drunken stupor totally out of it drunk and i thought well i got one more one more run of steps to go up till i can get to that man when i went up the next run of steps a little higher than him was another one of these like shelves where you store things and this time there was a 15 year old about 15 year old teenage boy spanish boy that spoke broken english he thought that i was a customer he thought that i was purposely coming up that ladder because there were three little girls there six seven and eight years old that could speak no english that were spanish girls that were being sold they were being trafficked sex slaves trafficked i went up the next ladder and he says we have three for a very good price i couldn't believe what i was hearing and he said they are well trained they'll bring you much happiness they've already been trained what to do and i remember i looked over there and saw those three little black-headed girls that could speak no english at all i said oh god this isn't new york this isn't cut los angeles but this isn't a a coastal city this is covington kentucky surely surely that these things cannot be happening in covington kentucky and i'm telling you i woke up and the spirit of god revealed to me he said the influx of evil that has been loosed on this nation is far beyond your imagination and i know it's only a dream but it is a wake-up call to every one of us that in these last days it's gonna be war i said in these last days it's gonna be war you're gonna have to fight the good fight of faith you're gonna have to lay hold on eternal life you're gonna have to be the one that says i stand for the word of god i'm fighting for the lord jesus christ church tonight i'd like to announce before the very powers of darkness that satan is a liar and that the church will triumph and every demon force let's all stand our feet hallelujah [Music] if the holy ghost is drawing you to this altar to intercede for the evil that's been released on this land if god's calling you to intercede that people will be set free from the bondage of hell that's been released i've just turned that's all that's left to do those of you have to go home you can go home i'm supposed to leave tonight we got a family vacation planned i've got to leave here in a little bit but you that don't have to leave elders prayer warriors ministers i want you to stand
