fasting and i don't know about you yet but this fasting is a lot harder because we're at home and i just feel like all the food in the house is just looking at you saying eat me is it just me i want you guys to comment let me know has this past been harder for you um not at your home you're not as active um for me it was just like i tell you got to like 5 45 and i know some of you probably was already heating up your meal already so six o'clock came you can say your blessing and eat but trust me i i understand i understand um but yeah man i've been just trying to muster through um even though i'm at home facing all the food and the fridge is full i mean i guess it's something to be grateful for our fridge is full so there's got to be something you gotta forgive god thanks all right i see you guys on facebook do me a favor and share share share let someone know that we are live i think it's um youtube's um taking a little while but what if you know that there's someone who's on youtube trying to get on let them know to come on facebook for now as we get that sorted um but i'm really excited about all that is happening um in ruac and and all that we're doing so today we're looking at um the 21 days i just want to give some time for people to get on and um what is happening um as far as fasting today so i was looking at uh i'm just pulling it up so i want to say the wrong thing but i was looking up today's focus is the nations of the world jerusalem and the persecuted church so just in case you don't know what the focus is for today it's day 14 it's the nations of the world jerusalem and the pesticide church and the scriptures are psalms 2 and 8 matthew 5 and 11 psalms 1 2 2 and 6 matthew 5 and 10 second corinthians 4 7 to 12 second corinthians 12 and verse 10 and romans 8 and 35 now if you are like when you say that so fast guess what you can go on the rack app you can go on our page on instagram you can go on facebook you will see all the posts with all the details we are posting every single day so make sure you're joining in 21 days fasting and i've heard some people saying hey like i just didn't know who's fasting can i still join absolutely of course you can still join there's no real set like date you have to join fasting fasting is a personal thing that you do as far as relationship it brings you closer to god so if you see your first time fasting we also have some details on the website you can get the guidelines um and how to fast maybe you've never done this before you'll be able to get all the guidelines what to do probably some of us we we've done it a while we still break the rules not to eat super heavy once you finish fasting burger you thought about eating all throughout the day and then you end up feeling sick so it gives you all the support all the guidelines that you'll need for the fasting and it's amazing because every morning there's six am prayer monday through saturday and you can pray with someone um even on these focuses so it's absolutely amazing so if you want to join maybe not a member and you just feel like hey my church isn't fasting i'd love to join you guys you are more than welcome to do so all right let's see what facebook is saying um to me how have you guys been doing with the fasting you can see the links okay i see andrew says elderly greetings from the wonderful name of jesus

actually do it at the end as well but i just want to make sure i do this um i just want to do apologies now you know that with our prayer and fasting we had um scheduled dates for individual prayer that means our locations were open for one day um and in the week where you could go along and just have a time of individual prayer and we did do that for the brixton location this week and it was so good bishop i was able to see um some of you as you came um and had your time of individual prayer here at the brixton location um we had to unfortunately cancel the walthamstow location and you should have had a message or a phone call or an email to let you know that we had to cancel the walthamstow location individual prayer and that's just the guidelines and the information we're receiving for that area the numbers are really really high and um they had um they've been uh i suppose you could say a consensus among places of worship in their waffles area wolf and forest area to um not open so it wasn't so much they told us to shut but they were really concerned about the numbers and we really just want to make sure that we are keeping you all safe and and so um having said that we're also not going to be opening up for this week we as we had said for the kilburn location and the birmingham location so individual prayer will not be taking place on site okay at the um kilburn location and the birmingham location as we had scheduled so please note that we will be sending out um announcements so that you are aware please pass the word that the locations will not be open and bishop um has been thinking about and praying about it and he felt because of the increasing rise of the numbers and the statistics of um just the spread of covid we've um felt it was best to and keep the locations closed for a bit longer okay having said that we are still having online prayer so wednesday and friday this week we will still be in prayer um to just give god thanks for all that he's doing and actually um yeah so wednesday and friday online prayer still continues from 7 00 p.m so please um keep a note of that i know you were all looking forward to coming to um the individual prayer and coming on site but we just need to wait a little bit longer and let's see if we can get these numbers down please listen to the guidelines social distancing wear a mask hand sanitizer you know what to do let's stay let's keep each other safe okay and and we'll see we'll come to the end of this i also want to let you know about the 2b1 workshop okay to shelby one that's our workshop for um couples who are dating contemplating marriage and the dates for that are the sixth of february and that's saturday and monday the 8th of february you're going to hear a bit more about that um in our announcements a bit later on but i just want to make sure you've got that in in mind for those of you who uh have managed to find somebody and also have been maybe dating and you'd like to just get some guidance but bishop and myself we've been running these sessions for a good number of years now along with the marriage team and so we just wanted to let you know about that so we are getting ready for a time of praise and worship um and we are getting ready to give god praise let me just pray father we thank you that we're able to come together lord god even in this

right we're getting ready to go into the word of god and i want to draw your attention to the book of luke chapter 13 and we're going to look at verse 31 if you have your bibles go on get your bibles if it's your gadget whatever you're using i want you to get it right now and let's look into this powerful word of god it starts here from 31 it says the same day there came a certain of the pharisees saying unto him that's jesus get thee out and depart hence for herod will kill thee and he said unto them go ye and tell that fox behold i cast out devils and i do cures today and tomorrow and the third day and i shall be perfected nevertheless i must walk today and tomorrow and the day following for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of jerusalem here end of the reading of god's word um we are in what we call 2021 and every year we declare it a year and we have declared this year the year to stand and um every year we have or every month should i say we have a focus scripture and the focus scripture for this month is from uh ephesians chapter 6 and i just want to read a bit of that so i can cement my thoughts together from verse 10. it says finally my brethren be strong in the lord and in the power of his might put on the whole armor of god watch this that she may be able to stand against the wiles or another translations as the schemes or the methodology of the devil verse 12 says for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities right against powers against the rulers of darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places 13 and last says wherefore take unto you the whole armor of god that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand somebody shout amen all right let me just read a little bit again uh from the amplified version ephesians 6 11 it says put on the whole armor of god look at this for his precepts are like a splendor armor like this of the heavenly armored soldier so that you may be able to successfully stand up against the methods the schemes the wows and the strategies and the deceit of the devil and if the reading of god's word somebody type amen i want to talk to you today on the subject demonic interruptions demonic interruptions and then i want you to type and say don't move in fact look at someone in your room or wherever you are and say don't move when we're talking about demons um we're really talking about evil spirits um uh who are strategizing and scheming to interrupt your assignment here on earth um let me explain a little bit because when we talk about uh the devil that's the same word we've got the word satan okay it's another translation uh but there are under them different spirits that operates which we call demons and so um i want to declare to you that we're in a season where you've got to be careful of what we call demonic interruptions where spirits have been sent to interrupt your assignment but i want you to write in the chat or tell somebody don't move all right it's your year to stand let's look at that word again assignment just that you can remember remember i told you one time ago when i was preaching on the assignment your assignment is a task or a piece of work allocated to someone as a part of a job or a course a study remember it's a commission it's a mission it's an engagement it's an occupation it's an undertaking there's an exercise as a business it's an office and it's your responsibility so when you have an assignment god has given you a mission god has given you a piece of work something that you you have been ordained in the earth to do so i want you to understand that you have an assignment however i want you to know that there are in the earth demons that are trying to interrupt your assignment but i want you to type say it won't work it won't work not this year i'm gonna stand i'm gonna stand so let's look at satan satan is a schemer what do i mean by that he is one who makes clever secret plans to deceive others and always find a way watch this to get what he wants he's a schemer he's planning uh and his ultimate aim is to get what he wants concerning your life but it won't work satan he uses schemes watch this systematic plans for a course of action designed to achieve a major and overall aim a strategy a secret or a under oh my god a undermining plot a plot or plan to achieve some kind of outcome um his actions are careful he will arrange he will program um he he he will uh plan in such a way so that he has the upper hand or tries to have the upper end on your life and that's why in first peter five verse eight uh it is written here that we should be sober we should be sober because your adversary okay the devil that's what he's called the adversary the word adversary is an interesting word it means the opposer if you look at the etymology of the word ad is a mathematical term reverse of reverse adversary reverse comes from the word reverse he reverse he comes from the opposite side to oppose you he's an adversary he comes and adds himself and then tries to oppose your destiny and your assignment so watch this he's like right this is what the bible says he is he is an adversary he's like a roaring lion walking about seeking whom he may devour i want to break that down he says that we've got to be sober the word sober means you can't be intoxicated you know that comes from someone who's drunk you have to be alert you have to be vigilant why because the satan that you are dealing with he is an adversary he is opposing you he's coming against your assignment and then this is what he wants to do he is going to act like a lion you know lying is the king of the jungle he's going to use the persona of a lion to frighten you but he cannot be aligned because there's only one lion and he's the lion of the tribe of judah we know who that is he it comes like a roaring lion watch what he does he's walking about seeking for whom he may devour so that means he has a plan to destroy you but one of the things i want you to notice about this text and it always gets to me the fact that satan is seeking for whom he may devour it speaks of him being selective it means that he just doesn't go for any kind of person he literally waits for someone who is in a vulnerable situation that's his scheme and then he attacks you and paul warns us that the devil's schemes is to disrupt our lives and that is why we need watch this uh to uh connect with the online church community we need community to help us to stand the bible tells us that's why he called apostles prophets and the bible says pastors teachers etc for the perfecting of the saints that we no longer be children watch this tossed here there by every wind of doctrine doctrine means teaching you know people who teach you stuff so you're not are open to every kind of negative teaching or erroneous teaching by the tricky watch this of men by craftiness in deceit scheming they are waiting for you to give you a doctrine that's contrary to god's word twisting god's word so that they will bring you into a place of confusion but the bible says that when we have leadership that's why it's important for leadership when we have a community apostles prophets pastors teachers evangelists guess what we will not be tossed to and through we will not be confused with different doctrines somebody shout amen come on type it amen all right so the devil now has a specific scheme tailor-made for each person so in other words he's not going to attack you like he attacks me he's going to wait to see where is my vulnerable vulnerable situation where's my vulnerable part of my life what am i struggling with and then he will find something that is tailor-made to attack you uh he is aware of your weaknesses and the sin that so easily uh besets us he's clever he knows where we're weak you know he knows where you're vulnerable and that's why you got to be careful and that's why you need community that's why you need the word of god you need to be praying because this is the season where satan is gonna try and pull you away pull you away from people pull you away from friends that's what the cults do the cults pull you away from family pull you away from people who supporting you and then they start to indoctrinate you satan's schemes are to destroy us and to do harm and paul writes in second corinthians 2 verse 11 and i want you to get this he says we are not ignorant of his schemes uh uh the word schemes there i love this because when you look at the original in the greek when it talks about schemes listen what it's talking about it's talking about the mind the content of thinking and reasoning so he says we are not watch this ignorant of how satan thinks in other words when you know the word of god when you have a prayerful life and when you are led by the spirit of lord you will understand that satan doesn't like you and he is planning to pull you down so the bible says that we are not ignorant we're not stupid we know what he's up to okay of his devices the way he's thinking the way he's reasoning and the reason why the bible says lest satan has get the advantage over us we don't want satan to have the upper hand in our life i i want you to write that down says i'm not going to let satan have the upper hand in my life in 2021 i want to decree and declare to you that this is your year now it brings me to the text of luke chapter 13 and this is an interesting text it it it it makes me laugh verse 31 it says the same day there came a certain of the pharisees saying unto jesus you know what get out get out because heron's going to kill you now i want to talk a little bit about this because i find this really incredible herod had killed john you know and if you know anything about that he killed john on on a plate he was he was a very wicked man he knew that jesus had made more disciples and was a little bit intimidated by anyone who came in to his area and had influence you know when you've got influence you've got to be careful people won't like you because when you have influence that means you um you affect people's life and people are attracted to you herod this herod he's the herod of antipas because there's a lot of herod's in the bible but this particular herod was the son of herod the great and he ruled over galilee and he was a wicked man and he and and and and when you you you find out about him he was not only wicked but he was insecure of anyone that had any influence in galilee and so jesus uh is came on the scene and he had more disciples than john you gotta understand he didn't like john because john again was having great influence now jesus is having influence and what tends to happen now he's intimidated by jesus and so he's like i got to get rid of this guy but here's the truth about hit um when you begin to look at it the thing was that any time you have an assignment let me just say this satan is intimidated about your assignment the call on your life and i want you to know that your assignment is a threat to the enemy did you hear what i said so i want you to understand saying don't like you all that you are doing all that you are becoming you are a threat to him i want you to type in the chat saying but i'm telling you don't move tell him don't move don't move don't move don't move so now he says um the pharisees turn around and says you know what uh um um i i want you to get out because uh herod's after you and um he wants to kill you so so i want to talk about this because i find it strange because um it's a pharisee that's saying this and the pharisees don't like jesus so what's this about okay you got to be careful with people who feel like you they're your friends and you know they're your enemy and all of a sudden they're saying like they're coming around like they're trying to help you and say you know what you better do this and better do that people are very strategic especially when they're working with the power of satan let me tell you about the pharisees let me tell you a little bit about the pharisees were strong committed people of the law they were legalistic people and they uh interpreted the tradition of the elders they people in the community uh looked up to them they were the ones who held the information of the torah and so jesus did never like them in fact the bible says that when you look in the scripture he called not only them pharisees and scribes you know what he called them he said be careful of the level now when jesus says something you've got to un you know unpack what he's actually saying because what is he saying about careful of the leaven when he say 11 you have to understand a little bit about bread he's talking about bread but it's a kind of a parable when he says careful for the leaven what he is saying it's called bread that has yeast in it um for those of you that know about cooking it's called some self phrasing flour yeah and what causes um what we call uh the flour uh to uh rise or to fermentate uh it's cause it's got yeast in it um when you got plain flour and you put it in an oven it doesn't do anything but once you've got self-raising flour which is flour that has yeast in it it then rises and moves into a different shape so jesus was saying i want you to be careful of what he called the leaven who are the leaven he was saying people watch this who have yeast what does he mean by that the word yeast literally talks about fungus what he was saying be careful of the fungus or you all didn't get it fungus yeast is a bacteria he was saying be careful of the bacteria what caused bacteria to work is fermentation and let me just explain to you it only fermentates when it's in a hot environment have you not worked out that when you are hot for the lord when you're on fire for god that's the time satan tries to come against your assignment he said be careful of the bacteria watch what happens bacteria doesn't fermentate unless it's attached to something in other words if you don't have the yeast in the flour it will not rise it will not fermentate it will not go out of shape and what the enemy wants to do is bring you into a place where you come out of shape where you move from what god has called you because one of the things that the pharisees want to do is indoctrinate you change the way you think change your belief system until you're confused about what you believe uh somebody type careful of the bacteria and so now if you look at the text it's amazing uh they were saying to to jesus you know get out uh because herod is going to kill you this is the pharisee's saying it and giving a message to them and he said tell that fox i cast out devils and i do cure today and tomorrow and i shall be perfected uh i i like this um so here's what i want you to understand he starts by saying tell that fox why does he use the word fox you've got to think about what a fox is a fox really uh is symbolic of what you call an animal that is sly that is cunning that is mischievous and that is scheming always scheming see brings that word scheming so if you ever watch a fox when it tries to go against its prey it's very clever it's very smart it's very calculative calculative it it doesn't just come after you the fox doesn't just come after you but what the does is watch you for a while and begin to plan his attack and so jesus is is actually saying something powerful he said tell herod that schemer tell that fox uh uh he said to him let me tell you cleverly that i cast out devils and then he says and not only do i cast out devils uh in other words i bring deliverance to people and he says and at this time i want you to know that i will be here today oh god and tomorrow and the following day in other words there is nothing that's going to be able to stop my assignment i want you to type that out nothing will stop our assignment this year he said i want you to understand this that i cast out devils all right now you've got to understand that the the whole thing about that statement when he made that statement remember there was a time they said that jesus you cast out the devil by belzebub remember when he said that they were um uh accusing jesus of that when he brought deliverance to someone and he said well if i cast out the devil by joseph then the kingdom of god is uh divided but what he says but if i cast out the devil by the finger of god he said then the kingdom of god has been established now you've got to understand what's happening here remember herod is a king he has his own kingdom and jesus is saying to the fox he's saying i cast out devil because any time a devil is cast out it means the king of god has now been relocated it means whatever was there before has to be shifted out what jesus was saying to herod in other words when i come on the scene i cast out devils that means the kingdom of god is already established and he says you will not be able to stop my assignment watch what he says because i shall be perfected in other words i shall end the course i shall end the purpose of why i am here in other words i shall be perfected means i shall finish what i started i want to decree and declare that whatever god has assigned on your life to do you will finish it you better type that in the chat you will finish in fact say whatever god has assigned me to do in 2021 i will finish it i will accomplish my vision i will accomplish the prophecy over my life no devil in hell is going to stop what god has assigned me to do oh somebody better take a praise break and give him praise right now hallelujah he says i will finish my assignment i will complete it tell that fox and some of you out to tell the devil whatever demonic power that has been uh trying to stop your assignment trying to stop your vision you started out well and already it's like the enemy is trying to shut things down in your life but i want to decree and declare you will not have bought your assignment in 2021. ah you better type that in the chat hallelujah i must walk i must walk today i'm gonna be here today i'm gonna listen you will not die uh psalms 118 verse seven says i shall not die but i shall live to declare the works of the lord in other words i don't care right now hear what i say corona cannot cannot take you out covered 19 let's use that word will not take you out i decree and declare if god is giving you assignment you will not die but you will live to declare the works of the lord psalms 138 verse 7 says though i walk in the midst of trouble sometimes you're going to find yourself just walking in and it's just stepping into problems that you didn't even plan for though i walk in the midst of trouble listen what the text says thou will revive me that means even if i go down he's gonna bring me back to life thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of my enemies and thy right hand shall save me it doesn't matter what people are planning over your life i hear hear declare in the name of jesus every demonic interruption every spirit that has been set aside whether it's a generational curse you are about to break it in 2021 you will not be moved this year you're gonna stand on god's word everything that was orchestrated to move you from your destiny will be destroyed because this is your year to stand somebody shout hallelujah i'm just going to give you seven things i want you to remember uh in terms that will help you uh in terms of standing on the assignment because every demon right now after i finish preach is waiting to try and put you off track but in the name of jesus this is your year to stand number one i want you to do this be vigilant and be watchful of every possible danger you've got to be vigilant you've got to open your eyes the bible says they're the wiles and the schemes of satan you've got to recognize that satan doesn't like you number two don't be overconfident in yourself anytime you're going to be confident be confident in god's word some of you say oh bishop what are you saying i got scripture for it first corinthians 10 verse 12 says wherefore let him that think if he standeth take heed lest he fall be careful that you think you've got it to going on and you all that and a bag of chips stand in god's word not in your own flesh number three don't underestimate the devil remember the bible says though there's the wiles of satan be careful okay he will challenge you he will challenge you even with god's word the word that you receive the prophecy he will challenge you he will twist scriptures be careful of that number four have a prayer for life make sure you're praying ah yes yes a fervent prayer of a righteousness man available you've got to have fervent prayer you've got to keep on praying and keep on asking god to cover you and protect you number five i'm running out of time beware

going to be discussing um the sermon today so we want to hear from you guys i'm going to be doing youtube i want to hear from you guys let me know what you have been thinking about today's message um what you thought about it did you enjoy it what was your best part um how did it impact you um we want to hear from you guys um so yes let's see um what the people are saying so i mean when i was listening to the message first of all it was like demonic interruptions like oh lord it's gonna be heavy and he was like don't move but um he was talking about um how the enemy is trying to interrupt your assignment and um i thought and he was talking about the schemes and systematic plans that he tries to achieve a certain outcome i was like all right words it was like wow yeah i always every time i think about things like this i always think about a book i read um called screw tapes letters by c.s lewis and it's basically a conversation between america yeah like basically and his minions basically and how to like do different things to like disrupt this boy's life and so every time i think about that book and i think about the schemes and the plans they came up with it was like yeah do this while the preacher's going on so he won't be listening to the sermon and he'll be on his phone and it was like wow like simple things that we take for granted are actually the schemes and plans of the enemy no no no that's so true that's so true but yeah just say typing the chat it won't it won't work exactly he did quite a good a lot of good um declarations for us throughout that message don't you think yeah you said make sure you type in the chat it won't work and he said um when we're not ignorant of his schemes so we can more or less tell what he's up to and what he's coming with um and he says we're not giving satan the upper hand in our lives in 2021 yeah yeah and your assignment is a threat to satan yeah yeah that i love what youtube people are saying they're saying i love it um kendrick says the words um i think they meant to say bless my day but there might be a typo there and then charlie says powerful message bishop god bless samantha says the enemy attacks when there is an assignment over your life yes i love that too um it's his wise word from bishop john francis so powerful um janiece says fantastic message gave great wisdom we need to know the wiles of the enemy um i love julie says i'm the victim i am redirected to the word so thank you bishop um someone said yes excellent book screwtape letters cs series it is a great ambitious book as well yes he's got the assignment yeah um um oh i think this is um elder clinton my friend says your assignment has information from your past and a road map into the future i love it i love information from your past and a road map into your future yeah should i tell you what they're saying on facebook and on facebook i love this and pauline richards said powerful word um and jennifer she said today's message basically reminded me of saying sly strategy not to let my guard down lisa says amen it won't work and nick nick says i received so much from the word it's reminding me to keep on my watch um cheryl says powerful words by bishop like the seven points to think about satan always waits until someone is in a vulnerable position to attack but read god's word and pray i love it i love the way he was also talking about when he said that satan is intimidated by your assignment and he's intimidated by your call but don't move oh yeah i've got that in capital don't move and he said that more than once you know he said don't move i mean he actually said it before he started the message yeah he said don't move remember and then in the message he said don't move so i think that's definitely something to take note of yeah and he also said about having a spirit of discernment we've got to watch out for the crafty that how he comes and the enemy comes and he was saying um have a spirit determined and then careful of bacteria yeah oh my god i like what um um youtube is saying it says more of this is needed understand the schemes of the devil and how to overcome um i love that jackie we'll pass that on to bishop gene ross's powerful word bishop the enemy is a strategist but it won't work i choose us as the adversary targets our weak spots and looks for our vulnerabilities but the host book guides us i love it and then um delhi says i learned that my assignment is a threat to society andrew says excellent word from the throne of god bishop book is also very good regarding the assignment rich food today bishop belly full yeah some where is it where's his book available because it's working in your assignment yeah so that's a really good and you can see all the information about that on the website um yvonne says on facebook the enemy was attacking and i was just getting stronger and stronger as bishop was preaching that's powerful and then she put capital don't move don't move here grace says rap messages are always powerful and blessing i believe the demons will never come again in iraq ministries i am always blessed by the word satan is defeated forever amen i love it um god says rhema word thank you minister shan says it's important as bishop said do not let people talk into your life especially in this season there's so many people that want to try and speak into our lives but we have to discern yeah that was powerful um we've got so many comments coming in youtube lee says when you're being attacked by saying this is how you know you're on the right path so don't move um eleanor says to me bishop is saying we need to be always appealer and discerning at all times i love it um yeah carly says bishop message was powerful and timely kendrick says powerful word bishop we are surrounded by angels the devil um um uh dj says the devil knew what god has planned for us and you've got loads of dope moves dope moves yeah i've got here um from nick nick the word is letting us know how much god loves us because of his love he's warning us to be careful yeah and then susan says he said the devil will separate you from family all so that you are vulnerable um abigail i really needed that word so we know that word has reached um um yeah yeah that's touched the right places we've seen so many comments yeah and then he went through all of the different um points of oh yeah so let's start let's go through that and we can wrap with that so yeah so basically these points are going to help you you will not because this will this is one of the last declarations i write you will not abort your assignment in 2021 that's what you said so number one so just in case you didn't get it be vigilant and be watchful of danger yeah number two don't be overconfident and um the scripture reference he gave for that was first corinthians 10 and verse 12 and then don't underestimate the devil and you know he was talking about all those schemes yeah number four have a prayerful life yes number five beware of deception um number six study god's word and number seven be guided by the holy spirit i love it these are some same points i mean the last few weeks has been giving you guys points so you've got things that you can use throughout the week yes um to help you remind you something you may have to write on your wall put it as a sticky note on your mirror whatever it is that you need to do to make sure it is getting into your mind um i love daily what she said bishop's word has given me the courage to keep going i won't move i shall stand firm i love it i love it i love it and then uh here we go we've got jesus keeps us off the bacteria yes yes yes that was good jackie says more and more so much is happening we need strategies to overcome thank you so much i needed this god bless you rock well nick nick scott bishop really broke down the word for us to understand and roseanne really sent a powerful message from bishop and i needed to hear that word um sean god is speaking it's a timely word and also chinese says i like how bishop described jesus responses to herod jesus was basically saying my presence shifts the atmosphere um and and no devil can stand in my presence so she loved that um melissa a very powerful word bishop and has really blessed me and then someone in capitals evon bishop preached as a message some years ago conqueror conquerors that's who i'm in christ jesus and i will stand um yeah oh oh and florence is saying see this is why you have to be tuned into the 6am prayer because florence is actually saying the word be vigilant confirms the prayer point at one of the 6am prayers so yeah really insightful word that's kofi corsa um word by bishop reminding us not to take the enemy for granted but reinforcing us to stand in victory in jesus name these words really touch me that's per persella campbell these words really touch me i've been working on an assignment from the middle of last year and to date just obstacles but the message today has me has given me courage thanks for the words god bless wow awesome we're feeling so attacked this weekend but the word that bishop has brought is so powerful we will not move i love it um yeah this has been amazing it says um deception is a big one in this season we need to be watchful that's all dg yeah this is amazing so i've seen i think this is the most i've seen you guys like that's good for real on here so we are so excited that you have been impacted you have been blessed and like i said you can always watch the replay so if you miss those seven points go back and watch the replay take notes share it with someone maybe someone's been dealing with demonic activity and they're not sure how to cope this is a great message to share let someone know they can feel uplifting throughout the week remember it's available so you can watch it literally every day this week if you want it yes literally every day and be encouraged so we're excited any more last comments you want to meet before we arrive jennifer so i so needed to hear that word bishop it's been a trying week and i was feeling really discouraged that as usual god to stir up that which is in us thank you jesus thank you bishop all right my last one from here um says when bishop said that the bacteria changes from in which god intended to be was very relevant and also we've got another one that says i'm not moving for my assignment in jesus name until i see my just until i think it says until yeah until so i'm i'm excited people were really blessed very blessed and someone just put in speech marks bacteria we know we're our intercessors are praying our um elders our praise our ministers our leaders and i know you are all praying if you have prayer requests remember prayer citychurch.org send in your prayer requests we're mindful people have lost loved ones and so it's hard to stay feeling strong but i'm telling you this word this person says if one says i'm feeling victorious in jesus you could just hear it so i love it it's just been so impactful so make sure you share with someone so they can get this message and be blessed it's been amazing being with you this afternoon we pray that you've enjoyed yourself you've been fed us as someone said belly full um at least until you have get a chance to eat and sick so at
