God creates the water and we dig wells.
the enemy seeks to stop the wells by covering it with dirt. the wells become
dry and the dry wells become prisons. from the days of John the Baptist until now
the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.
the world you live in is dying out of thirst. the church is the well where
rivers of living water flow to bring life to people, break through to finances,
peace to families, healing to physical bodies and freedom to souls. join us as
we go digging. Acts chapter 12 and verse chapter 2. Acts chapter 12 and verse
chapter 2. then he killed Herod, killed James the brother of John with the sword.
and lets skip few verses to verse 5. Peter therefore kept in prison but constant
prayer was offered to God for him by the church and when Herod was about to bring
him out the night that Peter was sleeping, we're gonna pause for that for
just a moment, we see that Herod and I want to use the not to take the
scripture out of the context because it's wrong but to take the spiritual
principles in this supernatural miraculous story that will apply to
deliverance. Herod I want to apply it like to the devil because number one is
he was bad, number two he died being eaten by worms. that's exactly what's
gonna happen to the devil. the Bible says that he will go into the lake of fire
where fire will not die and worms will eat the devil. that's why when he reminds
you of your past remind him of his future. Can somebody say praise the Lord.
the devil was defeated on the cross in the garden of in the Garden of
Eden. Adam and Eve gave him the power that's why devil in Luke said to Jesus I
can give you all the power because it was delivered to me, Adam delivered it to
the devil but Jesus refused it Jesus crushed the head of the serpent on
the cross and when Jesus came back he says I have the power in heaven and on
earth. that means the devil is illegal and he is a criminal on the earth right
now. devil is not a king on the earth no more after Jesus's resurrection. he is a
criminal we are the spiritual police and he is
like a mafia and a cartel but we have the badge, we have the gun, we have the
authority and we have the power. Can somebody say Amen. but Herod the Bible
says he killed James in the church when Herod locked up Peter they did not say
well maybe it's God's will. he can kill Peter as well. what they did is they
prayed consistently. I want to speak today not to allow our defeats,
unanswered prayers or disappointments to stand in the way of what God wants to do
now in our life. if you're James died don't let your Peter die because you are
so broken over what God did not do with James. every person in here including
myself has a James story. it's when we prayed for something and it did not
happen. it's when we fasted for someone and they still died. it's when we stood
for something and it did not take place and many times James
stands in the way of seeing breakthrough with Peter. so many people gave up their
hope in healing because they said my mother died out of cancer, that person
died out of this disease and the Prophet said they will be healed.
listen do not get tripped up over what God has not done because God still is a
healer. he did not change because someone in my family died. God did not stop being
Jehovah Rapha just because somebody overdosed. God did
not stop being Jehovah Nissi just because somebody lives in depression. God
did not stop being Jehovah Salome. our faith in healing is not based on those who got
healed, it's based on the name of our God and he does not change. he's so big he
can't change because of me. he remains the same. his nature, his name, his promise
and what he did on the cross is the basis of our belief. do not edit your doctrine
because of your disappointment. do not change your belief because of your
defeat, because something did not happen. we all have that. I have stories of
friends and relatives we prayed for and nothing happened. did we when we pray for
everybody did everybody get healed? not yet. but if we're not gonna pray
nothing's gonna happen. we based our faith not on how many people get out of
the wheelchair, not how many blind eyes see we base our faith on the fact of who God
is, what he promised and the fact that he loves people. and if I bury James I'm
gonna fight for Peter. if I bury James I will fast for Peter and I will not let
James to change the view of God so that I missed the miracle for Peter. people
sometimes say well you know oh you guys prayed and you know and nothing happened.
well if you realize every person who died went to the hospital yet when we
get sick what is the first place we go to? the hospital. why? because they do help
some people. what if you would treat God with the same dignity as you treat a
medical practitioner? you don't come to the doctor and sue him
just because you went through a chemo and somebody still passed away.
no you realize they doing their best and so same thing has to be with God. never
let the disappointment trip you up. three Hebrew boys said is that our God who we
serve is able but if he doesn't we ain't bowing. meaning we're not gonna let that
change anything about us because life is more than 70 80 90 or 100. life will
continue in eternity and we place our trust not only for this and now but for
there and later. Can somebody say Amen with that said I want you to see this is
the church is praying for Peter and God is about to bring an answer for Peter.
Peter is in prison, somebody say prison. come on somebody say prison. Peter
is in chains, somebody say chains and Peter is guarded with soldiers somebody
says soldiers. so prison, chains, soldiers and the fourth thing is he's in the
darkness because there is dark, the light had to come in and Herod puts him in
prison, chains him up to soldiers so if he breaks out he can't run anywhere, he
puts darkness in the prison but the church is praying. if you have someone
that you know right now who's in a spiritual prison, who is chained with
addictions and who are connected to some demonic spirits of soldiers never stop
praying for them. never stop fasting for them. there is a person in this room
today who the spouse gave them a divorce letter not many days ago and they came
to this conference, brought the clothes of their spouse hoping somebody will
pray so God can reverse the divorce and when we announced it yesterday we're gonna pray they ran quickly and drop and that
clothes is laying right here because see they're not willing to give up on their
marriage just because it end up in prison. don't give up on your health just
because it ends up in prison. pray for it and the Bible says church prayed for
Peter. today this is what's going to happen. we're gonna pray. we're gonna pray
for the people that will come for that prayer. when we will pray I believe
this is what could happen God will release his spirit to come into
your prison. as we pray God sends his spirit to the person's prison. a light
begins to come and the Bible says is when the angel came into the prison the
chains, somebody say chains, some of the chains fell off. so the chains when
the angel came the chains they fell off from Peter right away. now these chains
they didn't fall loudly, these chains they didn't fall violently,
quietly but it was real. I believe when we pray today God is going to be
removing spiritual chains. now some people will feel it. they will get nausea,
nauseated in their stomach. some people right before the prayer line out of
nowhere will feel sick and would want to run because it's the enemy knowing his
last seconds is coming. some people will throw up, some people
will faint, some people their eyes roll I've seen people who their tongues
twist and become like a snake. some people they begin to act like snakes
because the evil spirit on them and some people nothing happens at all.
most people nothing absolutely. you know what they feel afterwards? something
lifted or they feel lighter. I want to tell you something, you don't need to
shake and bake to have your chains fall off. please
i want to set somebody free right now. a demon doesn't need to speak through you
for you to feel chains fall off. you don't need to throw up
to have chains fall off. please understand but at the same time it does
not mean that if something is happening you don't need to hold it to look cute.
this is not America's Got Talent show this is not a time to look cute. this is
not a runway where you have to model this is the time where desperate people
seek deliverance. thirsty people seek Holy Spirit. we are here for him, we are here
because of him and we are here expecting from him. Can somebody say Amen. touch your
neighbor and say aint time to be cute. when you seek the Holy Spirit and something is
happening when prayer is being offered some kind of a thing you realize it it's
it's it's not there, it wasn't there before, I ask you this. don't make
anything up, don't create anything. yield to the Holy Spirit that's all. oh but
I don't want to be on the camera you don't want to live in prison, think
about that. if you care more about your camera you should have not come. if you
care more about what people think of you then you have not been tormented enough
to care nothing but freedom. Derek Prince said this deliverance is only
for the desperate. I believe in that. amen chains fell off but nothing it wasn't
loud and it could happen to you. I believe God will set people free today
whether you will physically feel it or not. when we pray God does something. he
releases his spirit but I want you to notice this, though the chains fell off
he was still in prison. chains fell off Peter was still in prison. you can be
free, you can be delivered but your circumstances in your life not change
for a long time and I want to share in a conclusion of this message what do you
do not only to see chains fall off but to see your life change, to see you and I
leave prison. not just be free from our chains.
I used to serve in prison and the people who serve in prison told me this, 76
percent of all people in jail are there not for the first time and not for the
last time. that means it's the same people. unfortunately many people go from
deliverance to deliverance instead of from deliverance to Dominion, instead of
from deliverance to victory. they go from deliverance to deliverance
just like a person who is in jail comes out of the jail only to go back to jail
needing God to deliver them again. that is not the purpose of God. God did not
created you for deliverance, he created you for Dominion. in the beginning when
God blessed Adam and Eve he blessed them and he didn't give them deliverance,
he says have dominion. deliverance is not God's goal. God's goal has been and still
is Dominion through the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace
the Bible doesn't say so we get delivered. it's so that we reign in life.
Jesus said behold I saw Satan fall like a lightning. he didn't say I deliver you.
he says I give you authority to trample upon snakes, I give you power to rise, I
give you anointing to have victory. somebody give God some praise if you
believe what's coming out of my mouth right now! God created you for
Dominion, somebody shout Dominion. somebody shout Dominion, shout dominion
like you mean it, dominion! shout it until every demon hears it. Dominion! please
deliverance is a means to that goal. God does not see deliverance as the final
goal. deliverance is just the first step so we get into Dominion. Can somebody
say Amen. how do you get to that Dominion? number one Bible says when Peter when
angel came into the jail the first thing that happened to Peter is he woke up.
somebody say wake up, touch your neighbor say it's time to wake up.
what does it mean? it means spiritually you wake up. now the angel did something,
he hit Peter. this was a rude angel he didn't gently say he struck Peter. the
Bible says and Peter woke up and then secondly he brought the light which
woke Peter up. I believe that the Holy Spirit wants to wake us up. see when God
sets you free he wants to wake you up meaning he wants you to receive Jesus
Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. he wants you to receive the light of God
into your life and some of us we are so stubborn that God's whispers to us will
not wake us up. Its God hitting us it's something bad happening to wake us
up and realize God is real and we need God and maybe you are here today and God
already hit you nicely, convicted you and the presence of the Holy Spirit has
woken you up and you realize see something needs to happen. I need to open
my eyes to Jesus. Jesus is the only truth Mohammed said I am the prophet of truth
Buddha said I am the seeker of truth Jesus said I am the truth.
come on somebody. Sophie in April who was dabbling in New Age, astrology
looking to the stars for solutions living an insecure life came to the
first night of the conference and saw crazy stuff, didn't think this was real.
the second night the light came on spiritual world is real. God is real.
that's what people who accused us say all these demon things, it glorifies the
devil. really? not one person left yesterday oh my gosh I want to join
Satanism. everybody left saying oh my God, God is real and Sophie came the next
night and she gave her life to Jesus and she woke up spiritually. Sophie if you
can stand identify yourself. she came to summer internship. God delivered her.
now she's staying for the fall internship. God wants you today. if you're
not saved you need to get saved. if you were here last night or if you're here
right now the first step to walking in freedom and
salvation is to spiritually wake up. now this is the crazy part
God can convict you and turn on the light. it's still your choice to open up
your eyes I'm gonna do something that typically I
don't do on the services but we need to do it. if you're in this room today and
you are in the right not in the right relationship with Jesus right now, you're
not there where you're supposed to be with God,
maybe you're backslidden or maybe your relationship with God is games. it's not
serious. the fear of God maybe came upon you so you watched what you watched
maybe you can't process everything but you know something?
the light came into your prison and you think pastor Vlad, if Jesus is to come
tonight I don't know where I would spend eternity but today I would like to
reconcile with God. I feel the Holy Spirit hitting me,
I feel the conviction of God. I sense the light of God coming into my darkness and
into my mess. I would like to respond. I would like to say yes to Jesus. if that
is you when I count to three I'm gonna ask you to quickly stand up to your feet.
one, hell is hot and that's where you're going if you don't know Jesus. Two, forever
is extremely long and there is no end three, Jesus is the only way to salvation.
if you need to get right with God I want you to stand to your feet just right now
wherever you're sitting. just simply stand to your feet and say you know what?
today I would like to get right with God thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, young man thank you, thank you. keep standing, keep
standing, keep standing, keep standing for just few more minutes. thank you, thank
you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. keep standing for just I
know there is a few more people. thank you thank you
few more seconds. if you're not there where you're supposed to be with the Lord
and you feel a conviction of God keep standing for just a moment. I'm gonna
lead you in the prayer. if you're watching us on livestream and you're not
there where you supposed to be with Jesus you can comment below on the YouTube and on
Facebook and say I need to get saved. I need to get right with God. count me in
that prayer in Jesus name. Church let's pray this prayer together. those of you
standing I believe the Holy Spirit is the one that gives new salvation and
gives us new heart. I cannot do that, no prayer can do that, only God can do that
and the repentant heart is what prepares for that miracle.
let's pray that prayer together. I want you to say Lord Jesus I am a sinner.
please forgive me of all my sin and wash me with your precious blood. I surrender
my whole life to you right now and from this day forward I promise to follow you
the best I know how. come in me and change me from the inside out in Jesus
name. Father I pray right now that you will seal them with your Holy Spirit. I
pray right now that you will bring your light and your salvation into their soul
in the name of Jesus Christ. those of you who are standing I'm gonna ask you to
pull out your phone and I want you to text Get saved together to 97 thousand
which is right behind me. the moment you do that then I want you to take your
seat in Jesus name. Church can we give them a round of applause right now.
you're precious to God. we love you. you are dear to the Lord. just text that
number and then you can take your seat somebody say wake up! somebody say wake
up! the moment Peter wakes up I want you to see another thing is that God angel
tells Peter he says rise up quickly. the second thing
I want to mention is rise up. somebody say rise up. rise up in discipline. rise
up in discipline what does that mean? It means the moment
you accept Jesus Christ after you get delivered
you need to have discipline in your life discipline, meaning reading the
scriptures, discipline meaning a regular prayer life, discipline means fasting,
discipline means memorizing scripture discipline means making covenant with
your eyes not to stare at beautiful girls or guys. Discipline. many people
what they do is when they get delivered the demons are gone not the flesh.
demons deal with, deliverance deals with demons but discipline deals with
the flesh and that's why many people get delivered and their life don't change
because the flesh still needs to be crucified. when the devil left he didn't
take the flesh. he left the flesh for you to crucify. if you don't discipline your
life your deliverance will not be changing your life. you will be delivered
from the chains but you're not going to be changed. when I was addicted to
pornography at the age of 12 up to the age of 16 and 17 God didn't deliver me
through somebody praying for me my pastor instructed and few other
people to begin to discipline my life and begin to pray and fast regularly,
memorized verses from the Bible and I can't explain how it happened except
this is what happened. it's the flesh started to lose itsgrip and the chains
fell off and the Lord God delivered me but though he delivered me from that
chain of pornography the lifestyle of fasting, the lifestyle of prayer has to
continue if you want to walk from deliverance to your Dominion. somebody
say Amen! somebody say praise the Lord! somebody say wake up. somebody say rise
up. now let's say I'm gonna tell you one thing about discipline. every single
person struggles with it. anybody has struggles with discipline? Peter did as
well. when the angel hit him and says get up! I love this, the same angel that hit
him with the shoe lended his hand and raised him up. if you struggle with
discipline which I do, ask the Holy Spirit for help. say Holy Spirit help
me to pray, help me to fast, help me to read the word. can somebody say Amen. and
he will the same Holy Spirit that stroke you to to wake you up will gently give
you desire and will according to the will of the Father for you to live a
disciplined life Jesus said to his disciples If any man
desires to follow me he must deny himself, pick up his cross and come and
follow me. see you can make a decision to believe in Jesus but what I'm talking
about is the discipleship which requires discipline.
Peter wakes up, Peter rises up with the help of an angel. that means I live a
disciplined life with the help of the Holy Spirit and the third thing I want
you to notice is that Peter gets dressed up. the angel says put some clothes on
Peter, we ain't walking naked. somebody say dress up. somebody say wake up, rise
up and dress up. what does that mean? that means you put on a new attitude and a
new confession even though you're still in prison but when your chains are
loosed and you're living a disciplined life you have to change your attitude
your thinking and your mindset. put on the whole armor of Jesus. in Ephesians
chapter 6 it does not say to put on the armor of God so you can win. it's put on
the armor of God so you can stand not win. why? because we already won. in Jesus
I've already won but I put on I dress up so I stand in the victory I already have
in Jesus! my God my God my God my God my God. that means that after I got healed I
changed my confession. I am not a sick person trying to get healthy. I am a
healthy person fighting sickness. I am not a sinner trying to get righteous. I
am a righteous person fighting sin. I am not a weak person trying to get strong. I
am a strong person fighting weakness. my identity
is Jesus, not my issue. my identity is Jesus not my issue.
somebody give God some praise right now if your identity is in Christ. if you know who you are give God some praise right now! hallelujah rise up rise up rise up in
your victory. rise up in who you are rise up in who you are. that means that
after your deliverance the enemy might come back and still tell you you are not
free. you have to rise up and you have to put some clothes on and say no devil I
am free. just because I feel something I know I am free. I am I still be battling
with nightmares but I know I am free. I might still have temptations but I know
I am free. whom the Son sets free is free indeed. I have put on Christ. touch your
neighbors and say it's time to get dressed up. touch your neighbor and say get dressed
up and lastly not only we have to wake up, not only we rise up, we dress up but
we also have to get out of the prison, follow the holy spirit out of your
prison. that means that you follow the Holy Spirit out of your situation step
by step. how does that happen? you follow Holy Spirit away from toxic
relationships, you follow Holy Spirit away from toxic places, we follow the
Holy Spirit away from bad environments trigger points. we follow the Holy Spirit through the first post, second post, through the iron gate. we follow the
holy spirit all the way why? because as we follow the Holy Spirit something
begins to happen. we are getting further from our past, we are being further from
our past temptations and we are getting closer to our Dominion. Giovanna here
sits and few years ago you know Giovanna came to our conference as such. God
delivered her from the spirit of lesbianism that entered her through
sexual molestation by a relative. she's a Christian from a Christian family
and when she was delivered she had to get dressed up. she had to renew her mind
not what the world says that she's a lesbian but that she's a daughter of God.
she didn't feel it for some time but she had to renew her mind with that and
another thing is this is the moment she had to renew her mind. she also had to
walk with the Holy Spirit away from Twitter friends, from other friends, from
certain jobs, certain places. you have to walk with Holy Spirit. you're never alone
after tonight. I'm not going with you home but Holy Spirit is going with you
home. he is not leaving you until he brings you to your Dominion. he is not
leaving you until he brings you to your victory. he is not leaving you till
he please you to your full destiny, until you reign with Jesus. today
Giovanna it's not just an ex-lesbian she is a daughter of God. she's a servant in
the house of God but watch this and I'm gonna finish it on this, the angel leaves
Peter on the street and Peter has the option to be on the street homeless or to
find a home. if he wouldn't find a home he would land back in jail .what happened
with Giovanna and I believe has to happen with every person when you get
free you have to rise up, you have to get dressed with a new attitude and then new
you with what God says about you not because to get victory but because you
have victory. you have to follow the holy spirit out of toxic relationships, follow
the holy spirit out of bad places, follow him slowly but surely it might take some
time but you will get out of it. but you have to not live on the street meaning
you have to find a home called a church called a home group and you have to join
that church. now can I tell you something when Peter found a home he knocked. this
was the home of Mary he knocked on the door and Mary didn't
welcome him in. she didn't allow him to come inside and Peter didn't say oh
these people hate me, I'm gonna go back to prison.
every Church you find will never be perfect. every church will give you
little bit of rejection. every church will give you something to be offended
for. it's either because the church is too small or it's too big. it's either
because pastor casts out demons or he doesn't cast out demons. it's either
because you like his preaching, is screaming too much or he's not screaming
enough. there's gonna be always something you're gonna be offended about. that's
why you have to still join that church why? because churches are not perfect. if
you find a perfect Church don't join it because you will ruin it.
somebody say find a home, find a local church. the problem with our generation
today is we are YouTube generation. we live on the street. I get messages every
day from 15 sometimes up to 50 a day pastor pray for me. why? what is your
pastor? since when did I became a facebook pastor? you have to have a home
church so you don't go to every Facebook prophet and Facebook pastor asking for
mentorship and asking for prayer. well I'm gonna step on somebody's toes right
now and if you have a local church it's nothing wrong with asking for prayer on
Facebook but if you have a local church go to a home group where you can ask
about prayer, when you can have somebody mentoring you so their Facebook is not a
prayer wall but it becomes a place where you connect and interact with people.
don't live on the street of YouTube and Facebook. live in the local church, be
grounded in the local church. every Sunday every homegroup because that is
where God protects you and takes you from deliverance to dominion. Can somebody
say Amen. somebody say wake up, rise up dress up, get out and find a home.
i want you to rise I want to say this with me say son of
David. have mercy on me. let your mercy and your favor speak for me. say this
loud, say son of David have mercy on me. let your mercy and your favor speak
for me place your hand upon your heart. begin to ask
God for His mercy right now on your situation. say God get me out of my
situation. deliver me from my chains. God deliver me from my prison and my bad
environment. set me free Lord God in the name of Jesus Christ
