End Of Year Fast 2020 Pt.1 Kevin L A Ewing

that you go and watch and listen to and i was inspired by a family to to make that video and it's dealing with the the uh well actually we have two uh pandemics going on a lot of people didn't realize it the the one is the obvious one which is the corona pandemic but there's also a pandemic of ungratefulness hello oh yeah widely spread through not just the bahamas but widely spread throughout the world if there's ever a time uh the spirit of ungratefulness and entitlement amongst people i mean lord listen you really need to go and watch that video because i've just about had it with people and their ungratefulness and their demanding of other people's time monies and resources when they bust theirs up and did what they wanted to do now they will make demands on others so i strongly suggest i strongly suggest that you go and watch that video and it's really going to give you an insight and make you do a self-evaluation and the family that i i was inspired to to to do the video from you know watching how they appreciated the little that they had among so many of them you know it really made me at that point really asked god i said lord if there was any point in my life where i was ungrateful in terms of even having resources others don't have but still finding it necessary to complain lord forgive me forgive me right now forgive me for my ungratefulness forgive me for my selfishness forgive me for this attitude that feel like whenever a problem or need arise that they i should put a demand on someone or some group to address that so i really want you to watch that uh especially how we're going into 2021 this is our last month of the year we have to do a self evaluation we have to look at our lives and the mere fact that god had spared our lives thus far i think today is the fifth this fifth day of december and we're not counted amongst the dead or the incapacitated paralyzed or whatever and there's a lot to give thanks for no you may not have your own home you may not have a car you may not have certain necessities all right but i get but guess what they're people who are in a far worse position than you and appreciate what they have okay when someone just get a can or a corn to eat that's it and not to share among five six family members and they say their prayers and thank god after the corn alone nothing else and i really want that to check in somebody's spirit because we there's some super duper to the 10 power ungrateful people among us who believe that the government and the ngos and the charitable organization okay supposed to cater to them and i'm telling you man i did the stories that i watch on television and even locally people making demand they're a single mother or they're a family of this and how could they only give them this they they they didn't have to give you nothing and i mean it is see if we don't check these things now we become so immune to it that we now treat this as the normal it is okay to be ungrateful it is okay not to show appreciation it is okay not to say thank you you know and that is becoming too and the sad part i gotta throw this in there before i start my teaching the sad part about it is that these same adults and parents who are raising children the children are recording this so they're gonna grow up with the idea that it's okay to be ungrateful it is okay that if someone bless me or help me or assist me i don't to tell them thank you in fact i could make a demand and say why you couldn't do more for me i remember two two years ago two years ago i was uh i wanted the local fast food chains it was during the morning time i went there to get a a cup of coffee and a sandwich because i had a series of meetings that date and this young man came in there walked straight to my table and he said sir could you spare some change sort of goodness of my heart i had a few dollars in my pocket and i gave it to him he walked off and he counted and he came back let's listen the nerve with his brother he came back and asked me if that's all i could do now you know i couldn't drink my coffee and eat my food no more right because i say i look at this fella hey look at this dude i wanted this hair good would you just ask me but i i understand now you you are in a society where people feel entitled don't god forbid if you call yourself pastor or bishop or or or you from the salvation army or they just feel you need to do and when you when you say you cannot do what do you hear now what kind of christian my god what kind of pastor that is my god nobody wants to take responsibility for their part of the vineyard you were making money at some point you had a job at some point you squandered your resources you never planned you never saw the rainy days ahead you granted them tell you about and save for the rainy day you never did that you know why because you think you could go down by calvary temple you go down by saint john's you go by kevin you could go by so and so and beg them and if they don't give you you can go tell everybody they know good there's a bunch of dogs and all they doing is this and that's being ungrateful thank god right where you are okay no position is permanent and the only way will be to be permanent is through you speaking that garbage all the time my god they wouldn't help the poor the poor man you're right you will stay poor you will stay broke you will stay boring you know why because every day you affirm it every day you praise satan and his minions who putting that junk in your head and repeating over and over my god taking so high minutes doing this trump doing that this doing this what are you doing to make it better other than your complaint other than you just pine in the way as if that's gonna change something oh man i'm just tired of it i'm just tired of the everywhere you turned complain complain nobody got a good report nobody check it out when dorian and stuff all those ngos came in and full up the house with rice and flour and grits and every every day they had a hot meal but still complaining you should be shaming yourself huh you should be publicly flogged for being so ungrateful okay and i serious with that man we need to stop it stop be thank god thank god that god put it in the heart of international people to send us resources during our rough time thank god for that small can of corned beef and spam thank god that you hard enough to put some food in your children's belly and you won't have to worry about tomorrow because he provided another tennis spam or he might upgrade you to some corned beef but i ain't gonna be forever and that will be how you know it's not gonna be forever but based on the garbage you speaking of the amount fat i thank you for this meal right now i give you glory for this corned beef and white rice with some corn on the side there lord and i know tomorrow i might be eating something better than this but i'm grateful for what i have right now father put me in a position not so much to eat better in the future but that i could eat and help somebody else some of you all to me god bless you you wouldn't share that with nobody they gotta put gun to your head to get up that can't aggress from that that that bag arise from you huh so this is why you you will be broke your future generations will be broke and you'll be passing that baton of poverty because you're too mean you're too selfish you're too ungrateful tidy all i'm blessing you all today man you are too no good go and and repent ask god father that's me talking about okay wherever you any time listen to me here if you have a home whether you're renting that home whether it's mortgaged or whether it's already paid for all right you have no complaint about nothing because there are those who don't who probably sleeping in their cars right now but you don't know that they're those who probably go into public showers to get them and their children to wash off to put on the uniform and so on or the uniform that they had for two years and the insurance squeeze and because the people ain't got no money to pay for but they're thankful but you have everything everything you got you complain complain complain come on okay i i don't know i i don't know how the government members do it honestly i can be honest i can take that everything you do is a complaint every nobody is worrying about as if all of this money and i'm not talking about the bombs i'm talking worldwide all of these various governments all over the world are literally draining their cut their country's resources to do what they swore to do and that is to take care of the people at some point you gotta be unselfish and say hey you know what if i have a hundred dollars on an account and every day i take in money off of that account you take money than just a pair there but i take it off so therefore these different agencies government ngos they now have to recalibrate and recalculate and realign themselves so they don't end up in a position you win so that they will have resources to assist in the future but selfish people don't think would no none of that no no no no i have 18 children and and you can't give me no to buy a rice i need 15 buying a rice what you think this is ungrateful ungrateful and grateful so i advise you to please go and watch that video because it's really going to give you insight plenty insight as to how ungrateful we are as a people as a nation as christians especially the christians man we should never be encouraging people talking foolishness and complaining we should check them right there no no no sweetie you're wrong no you got life right you're breathing right you know there's somebody probably right now who can't move from their neck down you know that you know they're people right now they gotta feed through straws and you could walk about here you could move your hands you could breathe you don't need nobody to push you no wheelchair huh you get all these family members and you could go and get something from what about that person who lose all the mem family members in the fire no one to assist them see check you ungrateful self wicked stop being ungrateful repent to jesus christ god forgive me forgive me forgive me for the times i've murmured forgive me for the times i've complained father never wants that i say you know what i'm not going to complain because when i look back on where god brought me from when i was living in a shack somewhere god brought me to this status in my life when i was only making less than minimum wage god now doubled and tripled my salary when my children i couldn't buy shoes and tenants for them in school open i couldn't get books i had to go and beg and do this but now i'm in a position i don't have to do that now how have you paid it forward how other than complaining how did you pay it forward no man no so so so i i i jump on no choices today no no no no no you got a responsibility now the only way i can hit the church on this is when they taught you how to be financially irresponsible by telling you sow your mortgage sow your rent money and watch god and all this witchcraft garbage no you don't gotta watch god he doesn't give you the money if he doesn't give you the rent what you're getting sold for he bless you with the rent and you let some challenge tell you otherwise no stop being irresponsible okay and budget your money so you don't have to be in a position to beg let someone who have no control over that get that plot that's that slot no man people got to call you alone you all are too ungrateful and i'm talking about those who are ungrateful too ungrateful every minute thumping your finger in god face after you have already provided for you and your family not just for the day for years he's been doing it for years god has been blessing you blessing you with a new morning you didn't have to go to the hospital okay you didn't have to what whatever other people were challenged with you didn't have that why can't you spend most of your time thanking god for the many provisions that he has provided for you as opposed to everything that comes out of your mouth it's a complaint it's a complaint it's a complaint why i got one more thing to knock on before i start my series because i just had it i am sick i am tired i am fed up everybody knocking the government and i don't have no political persuasions i don't have no plp f m democrat republican none of it my job is to teach the word of god and put fairness with fairness is all right now there are many people who have challenges with the government uh different rules and regulations concern over and any sensible person in their right mind will see that the attempts are to seek the health the overall health of the general public so if you're asked to wear masks or wash your hands how could you convert that that the government trying to control you and and and all this foolishness huh and then not only that when i see science people supposedly educated people coming on public forums and telling people the government don't have to do they cannot control you they're violating your rights you're violating my rights by trying to protect me by putting on a mass and washing my hand which should be i made a basic etiquette and hygiene see people you sometimes you got to step back and say well now you may have a degree you may be a lawyer you may be a doctor you may be a judge but i don't mean you smile at me because common sense sometimes outsmart everybody else common sense will tell me okay how could they be trying to to to to control me if they tell me to wash my arm they tell me not to put it in my nose if the nurses and the doctors who are in this profession daily they are watching the body stack up every day you are watching it on this you see it in your own hometown you saw your mummy your daddy your uncle died from covet but yet you let somebody come on the tv and say ah the the statistics aren't what they say what is the proof you your mind the grave how much more proof you want your uncle and everybody dead how much more proof you want sometimes i i wonder if there's some kind of spell that someone released that make people just toss their common sense in the garbage again though it comes right back to constant complaining and where to come the spirit of complaining is so prevalent it don't even have to make sense as long as once it's validated as a complaint you're good to go people wake up here wake up wake up wake up wake up and and stop allowing people to guide you on the road to destruction all right sometimes just a little bit of common sense will take you a long way when you look at things logically you even got to get all spiritual when you look at things logically okay you are better to make wise decisions so i strongly suggest that you go and watch that video on an evil report and as with all of my teachings i have detailed uh scriptures to support what i am saying in there a lot of people may not like what i'm saying today boom i just got you you're the ones i'm talking about your ungrateful self so i pray that god will release you from that spirit uh of ungrateful all right now today we're gonna begin a series that will end this month called end of year fast 2020. now i do this every year every year i do this okay because the significance of it is to cleanse you of the spiritual debris that you would have garnered throughout the course of the year and if you've never fasted before it would have been throughout the course of many years of your existence as you would know the real you is your spirit and your soul that's the real you and both of them are housed in this physical body all right hence when we die the reality of what i just said is that excuse me there's going to be an extraction of your spirit and soul from this physical body so when a person no longer exists medically and clinically that body goes back to the ground where it decays and rot and goes back to the minerals of the earth but we are still existing okay via our spirit and our soul the scripture speaks extensively not only about this transition but the reality of it and one of the scriptures that readily comes to mind is the story i think is in luke 16 verses 19 to 31 and it gives the parable about the rich man and lazarus now many would contend and say oh that's not a true story it's just a parable well when they make such statements i have to now wonder if they know what a parable is okay nevertheless that story is showing us or revealing to us two men that once existed on the earth one was a rich man and the other one was a poor man okay and the scripture says that the poor man begged for the crumbs or waited for the crumbs the poor man name was sorry lazarus he waited for the crumbs from the rich man table now theologians who are convinced that this story is a true story they are saying that the name of the rich man was divees and i'm only telling you what i read anyway it says that the the poor man lazarus died and he was escorted listen carefully he was escorted not the physical rich man because the physical rich man was buried in the crust of the earth where his human body physical body decayed but the bible says that the rich man sorry the poor man lazarus was escorted by the angels okay which would have been his spirit and his soul into the bosom of abraham where the saints reside prior to jesus christ's death burial and resurrection the bible goes on to say that the rich man also died and he opened up his eyes in hell where he saw lazarus in the bosom of abraham he cried out to father abraham let i mean lazarus tip the tip of his finger to quench my tongue from this tormenting flames blah blah blah now when we expunge the cosmetics of the story and truly begin to dig deep within the story clearly it's going to be unveiled to us a lot of spiritual nuggets primarily when we focus on the earlier part of the story we had spoke about both gentlemen's gentlemen sorry in their living state meaning when their spirit and soul house their physical bodies their triune being existed on the earth and then there was a transition when they died now as it relates to the rich man the bible gives some very uh interesting details it said how he opened his eyes and held how he felt this pain he was thirsty he could see lazarus all of this other stuff now i'm bringing this up because this is now pointing that this man five senses still exists or they're still or they've accompanied him even in a spiritual form to this spiritual place now despite his physical body which he does not inhabit anymore is decaying upon the earth okay so he's still existing so what the scripture is showing us that even when we die physically all we're doing is exiting this physical body the shell that makes us legal to participate in the events of this earth hence why evil spirits look to possess the human body or anybody that we saw and the animals and the snake would sing and so on but that's another story all right so with that said in this particular scripture is revealing to us how our spirit man is very much active very much alert as when prior to death we were in our physical state on the earth and why this is why now we have to play pay more focus on the spiritual part of our triune being as opposed to the cosmetics that are all fading away and will eventually cease from existing this is our physical body that is our focus shouldn't be there paul reminds us of this in second corinthians 4 18 and paul said to the church of corinth very divine revelation he says set not your eyes on what you see do not become caught up captivated hypnotized do not become so seduced that you begin to think that this reality the physical world the things that we can relate to with our five senses on this physical plane he says for they are all temporal watch this and they are subject to change or they are changing before our eyes he said though instead believers focus on the unseen now what is he talking about well let's go back to luke 16. he's talking about after these two guys died they were now transported to another place that is not a physical plane however they're carrying with them a memory feelings emotions all of this other stuff with them but the key here is they're still existing and according to the latter part of 2nd corinthians 4 18 it says that that unseen place listen carefully is eternal all right now kev why are you giving us all of this detail and we're here talking about fasting well i'm giving you all of this detail because as we plunge into this teaching of fasting you are going to see firsthand the necessity as a believer every believer of jesus christ is commanded by the lord jesus christ that when he would have left this earth over two thousand years ago that they must commit to fasting and i will show you that in the scriptures all right so fasting does several things but primarily it cleanses the human spirit from spiritual debris but i want to be very very clear here though fasting is not just a principle for the kingdom of light or the things of god fasting is a principle for the spiritual realm that can be used for evil purposes as well as the things of god and as we go in the series i will do a teaching specifically on that i've done it before i've done many many writings on it okay many people who are involved in the occult when they to achieve greater powers the spirits of whatever alter they are serving will demand of them to make sacrifices where they would go even beyond the recorded time of fasting biblically which was 40 days by jesus and these guys in doing that they now begin to see face to face with the spiritual realm and of course we'll get into all that later but for the believer as it relates to what we're teaching now in terms of the end of the fasting we want to realign ourselves and clear our spiritual slates of the spiritual debris that would have accumulated throughout the course of the year many people were struck by tragedies and unexpected deaths by family member diseases some people were diagnosed with different uh terminal diseases and so on okay all of these things would have knocked us off course and challenged our faith and so on so fasting brings us that all back in line if it's done the correct way all right now we're gonna look at the going to look at fasting as it relates to what jesus what jesus did because he is our perfect example and he's the one that we ought to follow as it relates to what he left in place all right so i want us to go to matthew matthew chapter 4 and we're going to read from verse 1 to verse 11. all right now there's some points while we're going to read i'm going to kind of kind of camp out a little while because i really want to drive home some really pertinent points for you so matthew chapter four i'm going to read from verse 1 to verse 11 okay it says then was jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil now you'll also find the same account in luke 4 verses 1 13. okay so matthew 4 verse 1 says then was jesus led circle that word then was jesus led up of or by the spirit which is the spirit of god so fasting for the most part will be initiated by the spirit of god many of you can relate and attest to what i'm saying right now because when i mentioned yesterday on my teaching i said i'm going to be back in the studio today and i'm going to begin my teaching on the end of year fast when i got a myriad of emails afterwards brother you ain't you only the lord spoke to me i've had a series of that even up to me before coming to the studio now this morning why because just like the scripture says how jesus was led by the spirit he didn't just say i feel like fasting today he was led by the spirit into the wilderness listen now to be tempted by the devil so the scripture just i mean straight out of the blocks is showing you that when you engage in a fast number one it should be led by the spirit and the reason why is because the bible says that this is the spirit that will make intersection intercession for us all right meaning that this he is the one negotiating for us with god he is the one getting the download from god okay this is what kevin need at this time there's some spiritual opposition that he cannot see there's something pending or there's something currently going on so convict him to go on a fast right now all right to give him a a a head start on all of this or to equip him for the spiritual battle to come with that said the bible says that he was led the spirit led him into the wilderness but listen for the purpose to be tempted by the devil so what that means is that when you go on a fast you are automatically going to be challenged by the enemy hence you will notice a massive increase in your dreams for the most part wicked nightmares evil crazy dreams why because the dream which is the spiritual realm is now the fast is causing to be revealed the spiritual clutter in your life the things that were hindering you all symbolic of course for the most part if you're not a straight dreamer it's showing you these are the things that kept you back so you see the real battle from your dreams why am i keep dreaming about being back home in my former house why am i always having this dream but my former church every time i have this dream i'm back here again with this pastor now in your head you'll be like maybe god telling me to go back there no no no watch all of the details in the dream watch the expression on the past face what is the attitude towards the pastor towards you all of the do you feel a sense of hate bitterness anger all of these you need to take in a calm because the dream could be showing you spiritually you're still angry with them spiritually there's unforgiveness here hence limited you physically from advancing in areas so you that you should have already advanced them before you're talking to somebody today so fasting is key fasting is going to unleash fasting is going to take you to the forefront of the spiritual realm where everything is conceived and let you have a landscape view of what is pulling the strings to your life that you cannot see on a normal basis oh i'm talking to somebody today so the scripture says in matthew 4 verse 1 it says then was jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil and no surprise there so if you decide to fast being led by the spirit of god expect opposition expect your children to arc up expect your husband wife bar supervisor expect people who adore and love you to turn against you but all of this is not to be sad but thank god that god this is only evidence of what you said would have happened hence i know i'm on the right track now but if you tell me you've been on the fast and everybody giving you money blessing you and you have no opposition well i don't know what kind of fast that is no i know but that one so but two verse two of matthew four says and when he who was he jesus had fasted 40 days and what 40 nights he was afterwards hungry and when the and when the tempter this would be satan when the tempter came to him now before we go any further i have to explain verse two for you in regards to verse one verse one said he was led by the spirit to be tempted okay so i mean during the 40 days he was tempted and i want to squeeze this point in here because i have a lot of people who would write and email me and say well kevin you know i did the fast but i'm still having these sexual dreams i'm still having these nightmares but if if you watch the videos which i did call after the fast and the difference between temptation and deliverance i would have explained all of this and i will do it again for the sake of this teaching verse one said he was led by the spirit the spirit of god to be tempted verse two says and when he had past tense fasted meaning that during the 40 days he was tempted and even after the 40 days satan is coming at him again see this is why when you read the bible you pray father give me understanding not surface and sensual but spiritual understanding to to to comprehend exactly with the spirit of the in the scriptures so versus and when he had when he had past tense when he had fasted this was after the 40 year days of which he initially was convicted or led by the holy spirit to be tempted by the same devil and i want you to see clearly i'm pointing out some very important points at no point did god stop the devil from tempting him kevin why still having these dreams i fasted i prayed read your bible you try that no point did god why because god is doing something with his spirit to take him on a level to do some stuff after this fast that he could have never done before same thing as you and i can point all of that out in this lesson today so verse 3 says and when the tempter came which is satan he said which is the tempter if thou be the son of god command these stones to be made bread jesus is about to release another spiritual nugget as it relates to fasting and how do we address the temptations that will come even after us by talking to someone you went on the fast to break the spirit of lust to break these evil sexual desires off of your life you're fed up you're tired of it but out after the fast the desires increase god what do i do now well let's see what our master did verse 3 says and when the tempter came to him he said if thou be the son of man command that these stones be made bread but he answered who was he jesus the christ who just came off the fast but he answered and said get from rania no say no played mia no now satan if you keep now look it no he didn't what did he do he referenced the word of god and you will see a consistency of this every time the enemy come at him so when the enemy came back at you with that desire even after the fast you sat there you did nothing to the point that you end up entertaining the thought you you you are not convinced that you are dealing with spiritual entities because if you were you wouldn't just sit there you would speak to the voices that's speaking to you whether internally or externally you would sit right into satan i reject that evil thought i reject that desire to turn on porn i reject the desire to pull up this phone and call this person to go engage and something i can regret later satan that it is written and you begin to speak the word of god greater is he that is in me than he that is in the word and of god before me who can be against me the bible says that the same spirit that raised christ from the dead is the same spirit that that resides in me so if i could raise a dead man from the dead and make him alive again then he could give me the fortitude and the power to overcome this evil thought did you do that no you didn't so the bible is laying out the protocol for the believers when he or she engages in this powerful principle of fasting and let me tell you something right now you better you better know what you're doing when you're going on the fast because you are about to attract the hordes of hell against you so you better know what you're dealing with and this is why i insist just like the bible that you are led too fast so verse 4 says but he answered and said it is written man shall not live by bread alone this is a scripture but by every word that proceeded out of the order of the out of the mouth of god i'm not gonna allow my my lust for food right now my hunger to make me obey you satan because that's what it's all about because if we turn the the rocks into bread you might say well what the big deal is the big deal is is who advises do it the enemy verse 5 then the devil take him up into the holy city and set him on a pinnacle of the temple and said unto him if thou be the son of god cast thyself down for it is written he shall give his angels charged concerning thee and in thine hands they shall bear thee up at least at any time thou dash thy foot against another now you know the satan do they ain't playing right now he bring all scripture on jesus because this is actually psalms 91 verses 11 and 12. so you see and i and i mentioned this in my other teachings also in fasting see every time like the knowledge i'm giving you week after week from the scriptures the more you participate in this the more you assimilate this into your understanding then you're gonna watch your dreams as well as the enemies attack on you become more complex more calculating more deceptive why because your formal knowledge or the lack of knowledge sorry of these things he could just run game on you but it cannot happen now so he got to come at you in a different way for example a person who come into this information all right the enemy will probably come to you in a dream afterwards and bring your deceased loved one been dead but more than likely would be a loved one whom you've had a good relationship with now the bible has made it very clear with us that we should have no dealings with the dead new chromatin uh deuteronomy 18 uh verse nine right the scripture also says in the book of ecclesiastes that uh for the living know that they should die but the dead knows nothing when a person died their love they hate the emotions everything come to an abrupt end and they have no more participation under the sun and there are many other scriptures that that promote this rule that god has put in place with that said because the enemy know that you don't know that information right and clearly you're being upgraded in your learning about spiritual things he's now to bring a what they call a masquerading spirit one masquerading or familiar spirit masquerading as someone who's deceased now the interaction with that spirit automatically forges a covenant because you're in violation of the law you are literally entertaining a well i listen to the deceased person but the spirit masquerading so you might say well kevin well that ain't a real person so how could i be breaking the law no the intent listen to think now you you know that you shouldn't be having no dealings period whether it's masquerading or real so in the dream you accept it you spoke to your deceased grammy you interacted so spiritually that created a covenant again let's go back to how i started on this teaching i started out with the rich man and lazarus i started out when they were in a living state but even in their deceased state meaning the only differences here is that they are no longer spirit and soul in their physical body but they're still existing they're still existing but not in a physical realm in a spiritual realm they are so the enemy seeks covenant in order to facilitate whatever evil he wants to perpetrate in the victim's life so if you don't know these things you will go and reiterate this boy listen i had a dream last night my god i know grant heaven she didn't look so beautiful in this dream and my listen she stretched her heart out to me and man i couldn't wake the hog and i hugged grammy you have no idea you have zero knowledge that this dream which is spiritual which is literally on a spiritual level engaging your human spirit because that's the physical you did not engage with quote unquote grammy just like the rich man and lazarus who are in their spiritual state that's where you are in your dream you want a spiritual but you're engaging with entities spiritual be it good or bad so if you don't know this knowledge if you don't understand this look up all of this evil you're taking on and don't even realize it so hence we got to clear our spiritual clutter from our lives via fasting all right so in verse six sorry verse five it says then the devil take him up into the holy city and settle him on the pit of the temple and said unto him if thou be the broadcast thy self down for it is written then the entire scripture there right jesus said in verse 7 of matthew 4 jesus said unto him which is satan it is written so he's using the word of god again it is written thou shalt not tempt lord thy god so you see even though jesus is the son of god remember jesus is leaving a pattern in place for us that even though he is the son of god even though all things were made for him by him and without him without him nothing was created the entire creation hinges on jesus christ but he humbled himself to say even myself have to use the word of god to combat the forces of evil so he says here in verse 7 jesus said unto him it is written again thou shalt not tempt the lord thy god verse 8 again the devil took him up into exceeding high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them and said unto him all these things what i give thee if thou will fall down and worship me verse 10 then say jesus unto him get the hand satan for it is written i hope you're seeing the sequence jesus is consistently referring to the word of god the source of all power to combat this evil entity beast which is satan so verse 9 says and said unto him all things all these things that i give thee if thou will fall down and worship me verse 10 of matthew 4 then said jesus unto him get the hand satan for it is written thou shalt worship the lord thy god and him shalt thou serve verse 11 then the devil leaved him or left him and behold angels came and ministered unto him or served jesus now two things i want to point out here number one i want to show you that and this is why i said you must be led by the spirit when it comes to fasting when jesus went on the fast he had a face to face and coral with a spiritual entity in the person of satan many of you have heard that before i've had it before not necessarily satan but an evil entity or some being angelic being appeared to you i've had that experience when you go on a so these are the things you see because fasting is ushering you into the spiritual realm so that's why you have to be led by god you have to be convicted by the spirit that hey it's time to fast and trust me when you are convicted there's something on the horizon that you need spiritual power via fasting you need to attain that to combat what's coming that's number one so satan fasting revealed this to satan sorry fasting reveals to jesus satan he saw satan he interacted with satan all that's going on in the in in the in the spiritual realm right i also showed you that every time jesus addressed him all right jesus addressed him with the authority of god you just said when i getting but this no you're not using the authority of god you need to you need to familiarize yourself with scripture so that you will have the holy spirit will bring the right scripture for you to toss at this devil so it's important it's important that you understand those two key components all right and every time satan come trust me i want you to look at the sequence in this story what is satan trying to get him to do overall because this is the core of everything radio satan is trying to get jesus to establish covenant with him brother kevin i don't understand what you mean by that what do you mean trying to excise you know where you're trying to establish government well you probably wasn't reading or you weren't comprehending what you were reading in every temptation satan is trying to get him jesus to do something for him which is satan turn these stones into bread if you be the son of god do x y z but kevin i see no big deal there right because you don't understand spiritual laws rules regulations and ordinances you see in my teachings the base and the core of my teachings what has brought me to all of the revelation that i gave you two things are primary number one the spiritual world or the unseen world is the parent world to this physical world the physical world is a place where birth is given from the things conceived in the unseen world that's that's that's paramount number two number two in order for the spiritual world to manifest or to legally interact with the spiritual world to legally manifest or interact with the physical world there has to be a covenant or an establishment between that which is spiritual and that which is physical once those agreements come in place then whatever was conceived on the unseen plane has the right now to be manifested here how do i notice kevin well let's go back to genesis genesis tells us in genesis chapter 1 it gives this detailed report on how god created the creation right and the days that he did it and then he made this garden right when he did this and he formed adam and eve in genesis 1 verse 28 it says well actually from 26 to 28 it says that not only did he bless them which empowered them to be fruitful to multiply and to subdue but listen to what he said now he's talking to humans humans would be the ones with the spirit and the soul that is housed in the physical body that's us the scripture said he gave authority and dominion not two spirits no no but to mankind adam and eve so he gave that key that whatever is going to be is going to come on this earth to perform to whatever then the they must achieve their corpora the cooperation between a human being so when god gave adam and eve hey look i'm giving you dominion over the fires over there over the fish of the sea or everything that's crawling upon the earth i've given you dominion of giving you authority satan does not have the authority no spirit now you're gonna knock your socks right now not even the spirit of god have the authority to do it oh kevin now that's blasphemy no no no no you need to read this is not saying that humans are greater than god these are his rules this is what he put in place so the first time in scripture where the agreement is being seek for a spirit to participate is in genesis chapter 3 verse 1. and it starts off by saying how this serpent was the most subtle or conniving beasts of the field now listen what he's doing because he needs a covenant with eve and adam in order to facilitate to give him right so first of all he needs to take on a body to be legal here he took on the body of a snake entered the snake and began to speak to eve did god say you will really die if you eat that fruit she knew the rules and she told him the boy i don't know what you're talking about but we could the god told us she read him the right act we could eat of any food here but that's really in the middle of god no no no no that there the day we eat that we shall surely die so satan said oh i ain't got it there okay just like i've been telling you clearly she's knowledgeable there so let's upgrade this temptation so he comes back up he's now planting a seed of doubt but watch how he does it satan says now listen come here eve with your pretty self you know that if you eat of this fruit you will be able to create just like god she pause she look around this beautiful magnificent garden and you're telling me if i eat up this fruit i could be creative and do the same thing god did to establish this garden it's not like god holding out on me so you see unlike jesus she she said in the first temptation no no no no for it is written we eat of any fruit but not that but the second temptation she did not come back with the word of god she entertained him and when she did that the bible says that the fruit all of a sudden became pleasant see whatever you entertain sin what was once disgusting before becomes pleasurable and beautiful now because the entertaining of sin i want you to write this down changes your perception so the bible says she she she eat that fruit and she somehow coerced her husband it was only at this point why they agreed they actually followed up on what he said and as a result of that people i want you to hear me say now there was a covenant forge there was a covenant forge i i did an article i've been doing i'm i beg you to visit my facebook pages on my youtube community page where i post i've been doing teachings on articles from last week to now and i will continue till the end of the year i'm just because i want you to be educated about the spiritual realm and how how real it is and if you lack this understanding and knowledge you are a target to be duked just like eve was and i did an article called signing documents in your dreams and so on and so forth where you are literally giving spiritual authority and right you don't know what's written on there somebody just hand you a paper in the dream tell you sign this and they walk off but mark that day from that day forward you watch the negative things you can pan out in your life because see you're ignorant of the spiritual ramifications and implication that these things have so the covenant was established when adam and eve ate the fruit they did see this is it when you obey god's word you are automatically in covenant with god when you disobey god's word you are automatically in covenant with satan there's no two ways about it there's no middle ground there's no gray area if you obey my law and do my commandments deuteronomy 28 verse 1 then shall the blessings come upon you and overtake you blah blah blah verse 15 says but if you choose not to or you agree with satan then shall the curses come upon you so when both kingdoms once a covenant has been chief with either or they will either be curses or there will be blessings that will be levied upon these individuals or the participants of those who engage in the covenant so covenant spiritually doesn't necessarily mean some gentleman came do you sat you down how did you read a document and you sign off on it the worst covenant is spiritual covenants because you don't know what they are your action is your signature your agreement is your signature so once that's achieved then whatever spirit you made the covenant with has the right now on this planet because of the rule you have the authority you have the dominion and so you're giving them access to your authority so now they could run their course in your life so if you lack spiritual education spiritual knowledge you would never know these things you will forever be lost uh so i've been saved for x amount of years i paid tithe offering seed i did everything but i'm still not going anywhere because you lack knowledge and according to spiritual law the bible says that is his people not satan the people of god are destroyed still the people of god why though for a lack of knowledge is what you don't know that the enemy is going to capitalize on so this is the reason why i in my teaching in this ministry we are the the basis and everything that i do here is strictly on the spiritual world why because it's pulling the string to everything that you see so the bible is clear in the story in matthew 4 where there's several protocols being met here number one we need to be led by the spirit when we're going on these fast we need to confirm that with god number two know for sure that you're going to be thrown into the in the in the wilderness spiritually that is to face all of the spiritual clutter hence why you're having all of the nightmares and the sexual dreams and the dreaming of the deceased and dogs running behind you and alligators in your dreams all of these animals and so on represents demonic forces dreams that are filled with pure darkness and you know all that is evil the the dream the the fast which will invoke the dreams is showing you your spiritual dashboard and this is what you come to to to clear up all right a lot of times when you would have already did your fast the dreams are going to intensify especially sexual dreams or dreaming of the decease and why because it's trying to reinstate covenants that were broken doing during the fast i hope i open somebody today man you you that's the kind information you need to be introduced to because if not then you're fully programmed to enter into next year to go another round of the failures of this year all right now let's go to matthew matthew chapter 9 okay i showed you that jesus christ himself okay he himself led the charge on fasting so we ought to patent our lives after jesus christ so let's go to matthew uh chapter nine and well actually let's go to mark sorry excuse me let's go to mark chapter two mark chapter two all right mark chapter two i hope i get this right let me check it before i give you all the rest of this chapter two okay all right so okay no it is actually this matthew matthew chapter nine sorry matthew chapter nine verses 14 to 17 matthew chapter 9 verses 14 to 17 i just wanted to make sure before i tell you turn there matthew chapter 9 verses 14 to 17 i remember our previous scripture spoke about jesus and uh his you know leading the charge or being the pace settle for the fast and all of the implications that comes along with it all right matthew chapter 9 beginning at verse 14 then came to him the disciples of john saying why do we and the pharisees fast often but thy disciples are not fasting jesus how come okay john and his crew and the pharisees which were the priests of the temple and so on back then how come they are often fasting but you who claim to be the son of god your disciples are not fasting now watch this divine i call it divine nugget jesus is going to give them because it's going to give you more insight as where the source of the power through fasting is coming from so in matthew 9 verse 15 jesus responds this way and jesus said unto them can the children of the bride chamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them he's going something with this now because he's pointing you to the whole concept and source behind fasting all right which clearly jordan his disciples in the pharisees are totally oblivious to they're totally aloof to all of this read it again and jesus said unto them can the children of the bride grow mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them but the days will come listen when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them uh-huh i want you to underline this statement and then shall not might and then shall they fast now who's the bridegroom well jesus christ jesus christ as long as i am here with these disciples they have no reason to fast because basically the power behind what they're seeking in the fast i am their power but when i leave fasting shouldn't be an option for the believer they must fast however based on matthew 4 and 1 there should be conviction from the holy spirit that's leading them to fast they're trying to help somebody here i'm trying to help somebody here all right i try to help somebody here all right jesus is showing them listen i am the power behind the fast i am the one who's going to reveal things of the spiritual realm i am the one who's going to show you what is good and evil in this spiritual plan what is pending what i am going to show you and take you into the treasures and the secrets of the kingdom of darkness as what's being concocted against you concocted against your ministry your business i am going to show you those who claim to be for you but from a spiritual perspective this is truly what you're dealing with over here i am going to be the one but when i leave you're gonna have to fast because me who is here now you're gonna have to access that power from me even when i'm gone now why why why is this important why is this important all right let's go to matthew chapter 17 matthew 17 and this is just going to show you the power of fasting matthew 17. oh i love this yeah matthew 17 and we're gonna look we're gonna read from verse 14 to verse 21. okay matthew 17 we're going to read from verse 14 to verse 21 and when they will come to the multitude this jesus and his disciples there came to him a certain man kneeling down to him and saying lord have mercy on my son for he is a lunatic not for caribbean people i mean his eddie no good for he is a lunatic and so avex angry for no reason and often he throws himself into the fire and he even tries to drown himself no external visible person is coercing him or encouraging him or forcing him to do these abnormal things that he's doing this is the man son that is verse 16 of matthew 17 and i brought him to your disciples listen to this very carefully and they could not cure him the disciples could not cure him that's interesting but we can get back there let's go to verse 17. then jesus answered and said o faithless and perverse generation how long shall i be with you how long shall i suffer or allow you bring him or bring the child to me now isn't this powerful now let's go back over what we've already learned so far remember now jesus did a fast we read that in matthew chapter 4. he did a fast for 40 days and 40 nights during the 40 days and 40 nights he was tempted by the the enemy and even after the fire fast the enemy was trying to establish covenant with him by trying to uh co-verse co-hearse or or deceive him into agreeing to the proposals that satan was throwing throwing at him again all in an effort to to to secure a covenant for satan of the legal right like he did with adam and eve okay so jesus is now totally fortified through the fasting hey it's time to to take this another level now right now the disciples remember never fasted okay hence they did not have the power that jesus had but jesus said they didn't have to because he was there and the truth is the only thing they had to do is believe on jesus to cast the devil out clearly they weren't doing that because when we look at verse 17 he says then jesus has said oh faithless o faithless and perverse gender what were you using to cast these devils out uh 12 disciples clearly you didn't fast so jesus was teaching you all along were you using jesus during the exorcism of this devil from this person apparently not because he labeled them as faithless faith is the word of god they're not using god where they're not using jesus faith is on perverse so if it's perverse what perverse thing he was doing trying to get his devil out he says how long shall i be but you are long shall i suffer you bring the child to me and jesus rebuked the devil and he departed out of him and the child was cured from that hour forward when we go with something with this put on your seat belt cause we can keep right now put on your scoop again i want you to hear this okay listen to this carefully this boy according to the scripture was a lunatic he was totally out of his head he went crazy he flipped all right and the bible says in uh chapter sorry verse 15 of matthew 17 the man said to jesus lord have mercy on my son and the man diagnosed his son as being a loner it wasn't right i want you to listen carefully please but when we drop down to verse 18 i don't read here where it says on jesus rebuke the lunatic boy no what we're reading here is jesus taking this battle from the source how and jesus rebuked the devil but the man didn't say he had a devil right because from his understanding his boy head was good it was bad but jesus said son sir it's deeper than what you physically see there's a spirit controlling this boy boy talking to somebody today so verse 18 says and jesus rebuked the devil and he which is the devil departed out of him and the child was cured so so this this speaks volumes now because remember initially the man came to the disciples who better to go to than the students of the great rabbi or teacher but clearly they were no match for the devil so i'm wondering now how did they try to cast this or try to bring some relief to this man because i see jesus used two words there he he he categorized them as fake lists which says to me they're discounting or dismiss the protocols or the power of the word of god to do this but he also used the word perverse i wonder if they try to to to go back to samuel what mom of them used to do when they was young to get this developed hmm you think they advised him to get some type of dying and mob the floor whatever you think because he's safer voice huh you think you think they try to get some sage and burn it around his head somewhere huh huh you think they did some rituals i just thrown this out the eyes and that's what they did i just looking at the words that i use and i'm going to let my imagination run here but jesus skipped through all the red paper man straight to the source how is he doing this and you're going to learn why i can get deeper in the next in the coming weeks because i'm going to show you after that fasting one of the things that that is going to come forth uh from isaiah 58 verse 8 or verse 9. it says and your light shall spring forth like the morning your light represents your spiritual understanding what that means that after the fast you don't assess things on a physical plane like jesus is explaining and demonstrating here he look at the boy he sees the behavior but he's discerning this devil that's controlling the boy he isn't saying the boy rude no manners and he ain't gonna respect for his part no he didn't say that it's a superficial stuff so you go and spank him you beat him you punish him and you you take away his privileges no jesus says no we can get this from the root what from from from what i see here jesus that is this boy got a devil on him so jesus according to the scripture rebuke the devil and listen the devil didn't have no hard work and say we ain't going nowhere no no no no because of that fasting this devil had no choice but as we begin to read we're going to read that this is in your regular devil that jesus cast out that the disciples couldn't castle oh i love this i love this so let's go back to verse 18. and jesus rebuked the devil and he which is the devil departed out of the boy and the child was cured from that very hour okay verse 19 of matthew 17. then came the disciples of jesus then came the disciples to jesus sorry apart and said why could not we cast him out jesus why we couldn't cast this devil out and jesus said unto them listen now because it's kind of backing up but i what i assumed earlier jesus said unto them because of your unbelief unbelief of who you jesus remember you're the source of the entire fasting thing remember said he told the pharisee or the disciples of john he says there's no need for my disciples too fast because i the bridegroom is here with them so those of the bright chambers does not have to mourn or fast while i'm here they don't have to do that but when i leave it is a must that they begin fasting all right so here's the sauce so they don't have the fast here's the sauce so they in the name of jesus get them so apparently they they either they didn't believe in the name of jesus or they just didn't execute it but from what i'm reading here jesus prefix why they couldn't cast this down by initially saying due to their unbelief then he says for verily or truly i say unto you if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say unto the mountain remove hands to yonder the other place and it shall be removed and nothing shall be possible for you faith is the word of god fate cometh by hearing but hearing what though specifically the word of god hence fate is the word of god hebrews 11 i think verse 1 says it says that faith is the substance of things hoped for in the evidence of things not seen well let's remove the word faith and put the real meaning there which is the word of god the word of god is the substance or the material of what i'm hoping for i use this example all the time you are hoping for a home or a piece of property so what is your well if fate is the material of what i'm hoping for what is the material of what i'm moving what is the material of that house i'm hoping for well let's go back to the word of god which is faith and what does it say i will give you houses you did not build vineyards you did not plan land that you did not before so what it says that faith is the substance the substance of anything of them is the material in which it's made up of so as a belief of jesus christ whatever i'm believing god for i must go deep into the book of faith which is the word of god and i must dig and find the relative scriptures and not so much focus on the thing that i want but what scripture says about what i want and that's why i put my focus if you want more of this again go on my youtube facebook and type in fate by kevin elliot and you can watch the whole video on this so it says fate or the word of god is the substance or the material of what i'm hoping for watch this now it now goes on to say the same fate or the word of god now also becomes the evidence of what i cannot see is here kevin how you know you're going to get this house well according to the bible this is the evidence right here so faith really is the word of god so coming back to this now jesus said because of your unbelief because you you didn't cast this devil because of your unbelief for video i said unto you if you have faith or the word of god as small as a mustard seed you'll be able to move mountains so what it's telling me is the truth is even those who have they don't believe what they're reading or or or they don't see the power in the word so we just read it let me just say it no weapon form against me shall prosper the enemy says you see today you'll see no more god tell me blah blah blah blah blah they're just saying that because they're supposed to somehow make you afraid and don't work rich on them no more stuff so that's what's supposed to do but that's not what jesus is saying jesus is saying you need to look beyond these letters you need to look beyond ask god to give you the spiritual revelation of what this is saying to you and and let this become real to you that no matter what you are faced with no matter what you are seeking your confidence isn't on what you see or what you desire or the promotion no my confidence is in this word so that's why he said it's your unbelief that's why you couldn't get the devil because you didn't really believe the things i was telling you when i am the source behind fasting you don't have to fast because i'm here but you still don't believe me even though you see me so watch what he says next jesus give this powerful revelation after he told him in verse 20 of matthew 17 that once you have faith and small let's say mustard seed or you grab a hold of the word of god he says nothing shall be impossible to you but then he gave some more revelation though as to why this particular spirit was a challenge for them so in the la in verse 21 of matthew 17 he said how be it or however though he said make note of this this kind i want you to circle that word this kind will not go out of a person except it's incorporated with prayer and fasting meaning that the only way such spirits would be removed from an individual or even an environment because this clearly is in your regular spirit then that person must not just be praying because praying alone is a waste of time based on the scripture but it says that the prayers must be incorporated with a person who engages in fasting okay let's make sense so in verse 21 of matthew 17 jesus says this kind now this is powerful because when we use that word kind we automatically excuse me bringing to frame a different class a different level this is a higher rank a higher level of authority but here's the but i want you to get this level of authority talking about evil powers now does not respond to prayer alone so when you have an issue in your life that you've been praying for years for then clearly this level of evil activity or demonic activity spirits that is that's what jesus recognized when he says he rebuked the devil then this one is just smiling and grinning and and will not move and have the listen carefully has the legal right to be positioned there even though they're pouring half a gallon of oil on you even though they're picking you up and body slamming you and kicking you all over the church and telling the devil get out as if he responds to physical things none of that because the the spirit they're all legalistic they understand the laws they're all they're saying well i'm gonna go what am i gonna go for and i have the right to be here your master told you to get me out you must incorporate fasting why are you not doing that why would i want to leave this so these are stubborn spirits and in the coming weeks i will literally label such spirits all right so jesus says this kind this he's giving this revelation that this particular class of demonic evil unclean spirits will not respond to prayer alone you have it is a must that you incorporate fasting you must set up your base by incorporating fasting to deal with this entity now let's break this down some more so let's go to matthew chapter 12. we want to see what this kind is really all about let's go to matthew chapter 12 and we're going to read from verse 43 to verse 45. all right now jesus again is speaking in this entire passage of scripture and jesus is about to again release you know he's our teacher he's our leader he's showing us through the scriptures how we ought to deal with spiritual things right and that's why i said you might just guess what my name is foolishness but so see it for god to meet you need not just garbage you're not dealing with the root what's what scripture could you show me where if you sow whatever you ask the soul that god is gonna circumvent all of these rules and say okay you can have it you don't gotta take that long that long road take this shortcut right here so anyone who's telling you to pay monies and so money is for next year they're like if any one of y'all anyone listen to me let me be clear right now anyone who want to travel that road again this year at the end of the year you are told to sow your you are a fool you are a fool if you go and sow money to circumvent these rules that i'm telling you and believe that god is going to dismiss his laws and then give you what you want because you sow a seed you are a super fool if you take that route in fact you are in alignment with the devil if you take that route these are the rules you must follow there is no shortcut there is no circumventing these are the spiritual laws these are the spiritual rules so why would you listen to someone telling you god say so 900 right now god said i hear god say take your rent money or take the money you the your husband gave you to go pay the mortgage and god say sow it but you forget all of these rules right here so the people come snatch your house from you all and what you can do then stop allowing people church people let me be clear here church people to make you financially irresponsible okay it is irresponsible of you that god has already blessed you with your mortgage bless you with your light but through your paycheck okay and now god sell you want you to go meet your needs your your your your banknotes your mortgage your car note you have the money already okay don't let these people pull you but test god let me tell you how you test god okay this is how you test god okay and i can just dive way just a little bit here because this is how we just test god we go to the scriptures first of all this is how we're gonna test god all right and we going to go to second corinthians chapter 9 verse 7 and this is how we truly test god not by some charlatan some money-hungry devil trying to take the monies god has blessed you with to take care of your family and they're trying to lay some guilt trip on you and say now test god but you'll be a donkey to follow them well let me show you how the scriptures show you how to test god second corinthians 9 7 every man uh-huh according as he is demanded by some leader i didn't read that what i'm reading here every man according as he purpose in his heart so let him give now maybe i possess the only bible that have this written this way you could turn into your bible i could be wrong but i knew wrong every man according as he not someone coercing him not someone who is setting him up for the bank to come and he hang their the home that they are part owner from you because you are delinquent and er and financially irresponsible no god says every man according as he has purpose in his heart so let him give so god is going to be the one you know he's going to be the one putting the desire not as to what you should do this is how much i want you to give gavin now listen what god said though just in case you didn't get that first piece he says don't do it grudgingly someone forcing you to do it you don't really want to do but they're putting this guilt trip on you and lies god says whoever i'll sort of see today it's going to be cursed god says if you don't sow into the pastor life god give the blood get your lie and suffer man you devil get out here he said don't do it grudgingly and don't even do it of necessity but he says for god for god loving a cheerful giver not someone who was forced to be a chef forgiver not not someone who's been extorted you don't need a garbage i told my family members man stop it and you can break tradition stop it you are to sow no seeds for next year that's voodoo witchcraft or bear you paid a rich doctor to perform spirituals whatever for you oh you do it godly you do it god way why you find it so difficult to do he said according to your heart now what else did he did he not say here didn't say according to god give it to the church i didn't read that and i'm not saying don't give it to them that's why you say according to god huh he became like a blessing you know but guess what you see those neighbors see the neighborhood next year they ain't telling you nothing and i've been tugging your heart for years to go and bless those people but you so tie up and lock in tradition every dime you get you're going to take it to these people already rich and you can't get nothing from them and you sick and got hard times how stupid could you be i am showing you my laws that if you participate in these laws you will be able to help them help your church shall be passed out of everybody else but you are so indoctrinated every man according to his purpose in his heart so let him give not grudgingly or of necessity for god lovely who a cheerful giver verse 8 and god is able to make all grace or favor a bound towards you that ye always having sufficiency in all things so what he's saying is you will never lack but what is the protocol for me never lacking though is it by testing god by throwing away my mortgage money into some quran no no it is by being led by the spirit of god to give to wherever he sent me to give not nobody put no pressure on me but paid no time there's no scripture in the bible that demands you to pay tithe new testament judge but i could go there with you if you want to watch it go watch my tape on on tidying which i give the spiritual rules so god is laying out to you how to test him and it is right here in the scripture that you'll have all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work and i love verse nine sorry verse 10 now he that minister see to the soul oh i love that i love it he god will minister or serve seed to the soul both minister bread for your food and what he's going to do multiply your seed sown and do what else increase the fruit of your righteousness but he can do all of this but what do we have to do well let's go back to voice seven and what were the original protocols that you must follow to get the results that i just spoke about every man according i see purpose in his heart so let him give not grudgingly not of necessity for god love and a chair forgiver that's what you read right okay now let's go back to my dinner so let's go back to matthew 12. don't let these challenges put you back on broke ali again for 2021 that's what i say to you so matthew 12 verse 43 jesus is speaking it's about to give some real real revelation as we come off of the heels of matthew 17 and 21 and jesus said no you didn't have faith uh the previous scripture you didn't have faith that's why the devil couldn't come or the devil and then listen to you but not only did you not have faith i can show you a little nugget i'm glad this little incident come up with this boy on the lunatic spirit so i could release some more spiritual education to you you say now however this kind of devil that was in this boy that i remove this devil will only come out if you are a participant of fasting along with your prayers but your prayers alone will not do it so in matthew 12 beginning on verse 43 jesus now begin to reveal what this kind is all about by giving this this uh description of the behavior of evil spirits so jesus said in matthew 12 verse 43 when the unclean spirit uh-huh is gone out of a man so that unclean spirit would be we could categorize it as a devil an unclean spirit a foul spirit anything that is opposite to the spirit of the kingdom of god the spirits of the kingdom of god when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man he let's be clear now who is this he the unclean spirit he the unclean spirit walk through dry places let's take our time now so the scripture jesus is revealing in this account that spirits can walk right we would agree right because that's what it's saying he says when the spirit leaves you so that means it can enter you that's the voice law or rule or principle so evil spirits can inhabit the physical human body along with their human spirit because he says he starts by saying when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man he didn't say off of a man it wasn't that it was on him it was in him it says now the spirit walk so there's two things we don't see it has the ability to possess us like it did the boy and number two when it is truly cast out it it has legs where it could walk through dry places listen next now and it goes walking seeking rest so two things is telling us here in this thing one they become tired they get tired because the babysitter is seeking rest however it seems as if that rest is satisfied when they inhabit another human being but as long as they're outside of the body of another human being they're tormented they're seeking rest hence why they're so adamant about trying to get into another human being it's says the secrets and it finds none verse 44 of matthew 12. then he said who is he is jesus no remember jesus is now reading the story and he's giving me a coat from the evil spirit's perspective so this the evil spirit and he said i will return into my house this is the evil spirit speaking so what does this tell us now the evil spirit has intelligence the evil spirit has the ability to calculate he's calculating that i cannot find another available human to inhabit and i'm restless i'm tired so let me think why don't i go back to my former human host host which was the former house that is symbolized as he wants to go back to then he said which is the evil spirit of the false birth i will return into my house from whence i came out the place where i was expelled from i'm going back to see if there's legal ground for me to get back in oh i loving this here so watch what he says and when he came back who is he again the evil spirit he find it quote unquote empty what is it the human the human host he find it empty sweat and garnish so what is the scripture really saying well when the person was delivered of this foul spirit all of the junk that came along that gave that foul spirit the right to remain in him was all gone so the spirit says hey you know what i'm getting tired here let me go back with familiar ground maybe he resort back to engaging in sin again which will give me the legal right to read into him but the scripture says that when he gets back there there was it was swept and kept clean meaning that this this person listen carefully is maintaining their initial deliverance i want you to to circulate with the initial that i just used because you're going to see why i used it so the spirit is looking at oh man this guy still he's reading his bible i know he's praying and all of these temptations he's using the word of god against it and everything i'm throwing at him to seduce him it's not working i'm coming at him in dreams and dirty sexual dreams and he's rebuking them he's cancelling them how can i get back in remember this is an intelligent being the only thing that this being is lacking is a physical body so watch what the story says then he said the spirit i'll return into my house matthew 12 44 i will return into my house he mean the former human host from whence i came out and when he when i came back i find that this guy is clean and doing the right thing now listen to verse 45 of matthew 12. then go with he who the evil spirit who once inhabited this man who has been delivered then go with he and take with him seven other spirits uh-huh listen carefully more circular word more wicked than himself this is powerful why the spirit reason and he said i need to get back in this guy i'm familiar with him but the level that i'm at i don't have the power to get back in okay so what i'm going to do i'm going to seek reinforcement who has the ability to get him if this guy isn't upgrading his deliverance meaning yeah he's reading his bible yeah he is uh bending to the temptations that the original spirit is throwing out there okay so his regular prayer could run this regular spirit so the spirit says let me go i want you to listen to this now let me go and retrieve or engage listen carefully this kind let me go and get this kind let me go and get a group come on up who this guy who's been delivered well if he isn't upgrading his deliverance through fasting i am going to go get this kind there's a there's a special group that will not respond to his prayer like it is affecting the original spirit so he says let me go and get this kind to deal with this listen to the story now then go with he which is the evil spirit and take it with himself seven other spirits uh-huh more sound like an increase to me sound like a different level to me sound like another kind to me seven other spirits more wicked than himself and they including the original spirit who couldn't get in before and they entered in listen and dwell there and the last state of that man is worse than the first boy this is powerful this is powerful this is powerful no let me let me reposition myself for this why is this powerful this is powerful because it's showing you the importance of fasting it is showing you why jesus said that it is not necessary for the disciples to fast while i am here but when i leave this is not an option for them because there are forces in the realm of the spirit opposing forces that is that will not respond to regular prayer it does not affect them in fact they they dismiss that altogether but you have to make fasting a part of your christian discipline if you expect to grow in the things of god if you expect to challenge these this uh uh of the kind not if but when you encounter them and that is why you find people like a carlton person like those who were on fire for god on fire for god could leave the faith and create their own gospel write their own books and supersede and dismiss the word of god why they never upgraded they were just satisfied with just a regular hocus pocus in church never really really delving into the scriptures and extracting the spiritual nuggets and making them applicable never did so as a result of that it was easy for them to turn away from the fate why because when this kind came when this kind came how could they resist when this kind came and gave them this gospel of inclusion how could they resist it when this kind came and said they could make women bishops jesus lord of mercy i hope you all listen to me when this kind came they're coming to alter the word of god a christian the believer the church leader is not acquainting themselves with the unadulterated word of god and that's becoming the full stop to everything and the authority of everything they're going to be seduced by this that's why jesus said to this kind man shall not live but it is written man shall not live by bread alone it is written thou shall not come to the lord thy god it is rented written down shall bow to know it why because he is embedded he is teaching us his followers listen i don't care what you hear in the background i don't care what they title uh that mean absolutely nothing if they are going against the word of god i made a post yesterday anybody that dismisses or goes against or add to or take from the word of god the report that they're bringing you is an evil report i don't care who you are that's why for me if you ain't bringing a scripture but you better go talk to somebody else can you talk to me you can never pull me on the road to destruction the bible say broad is the way that you ain't pulling kevin how could i but i know better because i read and i love to read huh how could you tell me different how could you tell me different how how are you gonna fix your about to tell me different okay you'll fix him because you won't talk to me because i ain't listening to you if the word of god didn't say it buddy get out of my face i don't care who you are whoever you are you need to get safe no man fasting any i know what you're saying to me now but kevin i got diabetes kevin i just take medication listen to me carefully listen to me carefully i give it this revelation right now two takes number one jesus fasted for 40 days but he never required you to do that that's number one second when the the disciples of john and the pharisees ask him why doesn't his disciple fast listen what he said he said as long as he said they don't have to vast but this is the key right here he says but when i leave they shall fast but guess what he didn't say how long they should fast excuse me so what does that mean what you saying kevin what i'm saying to you is that the holy spirit is going to convict you you might say okay when i got this ailment and i have to take these pills and i cannot eat i cannot go without eating i got you the holy spirit might tell you okay sweetie for the next three hours this time fastest that's what i want you to do what i'm saying to you don't let in your head become a standard i gotta do seven days i gotta do 40 days like heaven i got to do 21 days no you know what no way in scripture would say you have to do that nowhere and that's why i started out but the teaching by saying and jesus was led by the spirit so clearly the spirit led him to do 40 days let the spirit lead you the spirit might say to you okay from 11 to 12 o'clock every day it's your busiest days and you it's mandatory that you take lunch this time i want you to sacrifice that time right there for one hour and that one hour i just want you to come before me and bring my word and commune with me that's fast thing for you you're making a sacrifice because during that one hour you would have been gouging or this is your standard this is what you do but you says no i can sacrifice this time so what i'm saying to you you don't have to it isn't how long you do the fast there's no scripture that points out that the power from god will come as a result of how long you did the fast god has his reasons for telling a person to do 40 days like myself 21 days seven years five days whatever but don't let no one try to lay on you like some law no fasting means to make a sacrifice okay and you're saying to god god listen i this is what i want to do for you and normally between four o'clock in the evening and six clocks are my busiest time every day so during those two hours i'm gonna put whatever business i have aside whatever i'm not gonna eat i'm not gonna drink or i'm not going to whatever and this time is for you i'm coming before you so why god is looking at your heart you know many people are going to do these long fast and god even look at it and we can talk about that next week too uh in isaiah 58 beginning at voice one yeah that was mad jesus usually let me mean i i i you've been on the far she's like you saying xyz and happen he said yeah i know why i didn't happen you're still around you still got a bunch of unforgiveness in your heart you never clean your voice before you went into the vast he said that's not the fast that god has called you to go on no get it together start reading the book why you don't like read the book read you'll read every other book read the book stop trying to get these shortcuts no it's not gonna happen so i'm i'm priming you i'm setting a foundation down down as we go into the coming weeks and we get deeper into why you not only need to fast but following the right protocols of fasting and and really the spiritual components that you're up against i tell everybody when you go on a fast listen you are going to encounter the spiritual world you are going to see that whether it's evil spirits whether they're masquerading as animals or birds or whatever trust me and this is what i'm going to advise you to do record those dreams now some of you the battle is so intense that immediately when you wake up the enemy will erase your dream so my advice to you prior to going into the fast and following the protocols and so on you you need to pray the whole arm of god upon you oh and i was i don't know how i forgot this today i made a promise yesterday but i guess i got off track but anyway because what i wanted to also show you is in this first thing that you're going to do this month i'm advising you to begin with doing communion before the fast and after the fast and let me be clear here you don't need to be a part of a church you don't need to have a pastor or any religious leader administer communion to you you could do that right in the privacy of your own so you could get a cracker some cranberry juice whatever you choose to use symbolic of the bread being the flesh of jesus's body and the the liquid being representing his blood do that before the fast and when you're completed with your fast end the fast with that and i'm gonna give you the deep spiritual implications of what that represent and why i'm advising you to do it all right so it is very important that we follow scripture we follow scripture because we want a god result and we want to elevate we don't want to be because the whole purpose of the fast is to take us to another level this is why jesus was able to do what the disciples couldn't do it took him to another level you want to achieve every level you want to go beyond every level or wherever you were stuck in 2020 you want to go higher so the way that's going to happen is you have to do something different which would be the too fast and i speak from experience i'm not just making up stuff and in 2011 i did a 40-day fast i was led by god to do it the church that i had what i was attending at that time they were doing a 21-day fast during that time i asked the lord because i was really playing with it in my mind should i go straight to do 40. i never got an answer till the last day i was preparing to teach sunday school that sunday and the lord spoke to me right in my shower internally if you want anything different you got to do a different so to me that meant approval goes straight into the 40-day even when they end the 21 day which was that day and i did it okay and i'll probably journal that sometime in the future as to what how i read about it but nevertheless for 40 days i had absolutely no food to eat no food at all i drank water and i had some grape juice the 100 ones in the apple juice and orange juice and just sips of it just to keep taste in my mouth because i hate that metallic taste after just drinking water for so long but for forty the reason why i did it i was frustrated i was frustrated with church i was frustrated with work i was frustrated with life because i wasn't going and i was safe i was safe since 96 but my life wasn't going anywhere and everything was falling apart so the lord led me to the fasting and when i did that fasting listen my life i always say this it's like somebody put it in a slingshot and sling me into my destiny i got a promotion was making more than double my salary i everything for when i to this day fast life is still propelling for me so i'm telling you this and we're going to mourn to it next week because i want you to be prepared father i thank you for your wisdom your knowledge your understanding i thank you for your people whom you have given me the the privilege to speak to not my opinions but your word and giving them the spiritual nuggets that they need to implement and stop trying to find shortcuts that will never work at least to benefit them the way you purpose if they try to circumvent your rules your laws your precepts and your regulation it is my prayer father that these teachings will be inculcated into their understanding to the point that they are provoked to make it practical and it is my prayer law that you would you would reveal yourself and show yourself strong in your word to them as they practice your word and build their confidence through your word through the manifestation of whatever it is that your word promised that they're seeking i pray right now lord that you would levy upon them according to isaiah 11 and 2 the spirit of wisdom the spirit of knowledge the spirit of understanding the spirit of counsel and might i pray that you levy upon them according to your word in ephesians 1 and 17 yes also the spirit of knowledge again but also the spirit of revelation so that they will be able to decipher what is of you and what is not that they will be able to see with spiritual eyes listen with spiritual layers and communicate and comprehend with spiritual understanding who is truly representing you and who is not and the things that they are being advised to do that they wouldn't be feeling guilty by not doing because this preacher whoever said don't do it but your spirit said not to do it so let your spirit let your wisdom let your everything rest upon them and i pray that these teachings that i'm giving them and consistently taking them back to the word of god invigorate them to always want to use the word of god as their benchmark not what i say not what the preacher said but what the word of god says and that that would be their final authority so father we bless you we honor you we praise you and we thank you for another session and we ask these things in jesus mighty name amen and amen so folks next week
