Ever Increasing Faith Network The Battle of the Mind Our Thought Life and our Armor Aug 29th

welcome to ever-increasing faith remember these  words from the book of Romans chapter 10 verse   17 so then faith comes by hearing and hearing by  the Word of God praise God for another day and for   another privilege and opportunity to share with  you the Living Word of God I need your continued   faithful financial support if ever-increasing paid  television is to remain on the air in your area   on the screen as an adjuster you can mail your  tithes offering or gift of love let me take this   opportunity to thank you so very much for your  past your present and whatever future support you   are led to give you are helping to make it happen  alright let's turn in our Bibles to Ephesians   chapter 6 Ephesians chapter 6 while you're looking  at up for the benefit of internet viewers TV   viewers and first-time visitors here in the dome  I am teaching from and reading from the New King   James Version of the Bible which is an upgrade  translation from the traditional King James only   reason I mention it is because some of the words  are different so if I read some words from my   Bible that you don't have in yours it perhaps  could be because of the translation however we   definitely will end up in the same place all right  Ephesians chapter 6 if you have it say I have it   alright I want us to read together beginning at  verse 10 we'll read through verse 17 which serves   as the foundation for our present lesson if you're  ready let's begin finally my brethren be strong in   the Lord and in the power of his might put on  the whole armour of God that you may be able to   stand against the wiles of the devil but we do  not wrestle against flesh and blood but against   principalities against powers against the rulers  of the darkness of this age against spiritual   hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places  therefore take up the whole armour of God that   you may be able to withstand in the evil day and  having done all to stand stand therefore having   girded your waist with truth having put on the  breastplate of righteousness and having shod your   feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace  above all taking the shield of faith with which   you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of  the wicked one and take the helmet of salvation   and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of  God now our subject is the Battle of the mind our   thought life and our armor the Battle of the mind  our thought life and our armor the verses here   that we just read serve as the backdrop for our  lesson the foundation in other words and in this   cataloguing of armor that Paul gives us as I have  pointed out from the outset if you read it the way   that it's written it gives the impression that  Paul is singling out individual pieces of armor   he's using the Roman soldier as an object lesson  as an illustration and he talks about armor helmet   of salvation sword of the Spirit shield of faith  but we found out from Thessalonians that Paul also   in speaking to those in Thessalonica he made the  statement shield of faith and love shield of faith   and love but here in Ephesians he talked about the  honest our breastplate of faith and love excuse me   the breastplate of faith in love and then here  he talks about the breastplate of righteousness   so what is it righteousness or the breastplate of  faith and love well I think what happened is that   Paul is attempting to get across to us the fact  that we have armor and he wants to single in two   or zero and I should say on this armor so uses the  Roman soldier as an illustration but as I pointed   out traditionally we get site down if you would on  the different pieces of armor and we separate them   out and we make a big issue out of this particular  piece or that particular piece to the neglect of   the other parts as though they weren't important  so I gave you an alternate rendering that I think   expresses the principle that Paul is trying to  get across and that is that we have armor that   we do have protection so we drop the Roman soldier  symbolisms and just read it like this beginning   with verse 13 therefore take up the whole armour  of God the notice I haven't pointed this out but   notice that statement the whole armour of God why  didn't he just say take up the armor of God we   would have known it was armor wouldn't we but  I think that word whole the whole armor is an   alert it's an alert that if we're not careful  we could zero in on parts of the armor to the   neglect of the rest of the armor and therein  find our demise or defeat so he says hold this   what he's even though he presented in parts it's  the whole that gives us the victory are you still   here alright so I want to read it without the  Roman soldier of symbolism so it really like this   verse 13 therefore take up the whole armor of God  that you may be able to withstand in the evil day   and having done all to stand stand therefore  having truth having righteousness having the   gospel of peace taking faith and salvation and  the Word of God so what he's really telling us   is that the armor is simply Bible knowledge the  knowledge of the Word of God and he tells us to   take that that's our armor because we are in  a battle and the terminology that he uses is   battle terminology helmet or she'll all those  represent opposition coming against us right   now this morning my son and I were talking and he  asked me a question I had not dealt with this in   this lesson but he asked me I think a very valid  question and one that I believe the Spirit of God   gave me a little insight on notice that verse  14 says now now listen to this carefully stand   therefore having girded your waist with truth  having put on the breastplate of righteousness   and having shod your feet with the preparation of  the gospel of peace but why why he tells us to do   all this but he doesn't tell if any benefit from  me but then in verse 16 he says above all this is   the question that Freddie asked me said dad why  did he why did he say above all you know which   implies that maybe this is more important or  could be more important than the others above   all but watch this above all taking the shield of  faith with which you will be able to quench all   the fiery darts of the wicked one verse 17 and  take the helmet of salvation why and the sword   of the Spirit which is the word of God but none of  those other things that he mentioned tells us why   why I take the helmet of salvation why take the  breastplate of righteousness only in reference to   faith does he tell us why he says verse 16 again  above all taking the shield of faith with which   you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of  the wicked one now the Lord gave me this little   illustration I think will help you to see here  at Crenshaw Center we have we have quite a few   employees well couple hundred employees and we  have four hundred and seventy-five thousand doors   in the facility here all you know over all their  doors everywhere and doors the doors have locked   them because everybody doesn't need access to  every part there are people that work in certain   say like the finance department everybody doesn't  go into the finance department but the people who   work in the finance department they have a key  to get in the finance department but they can't   necessarily get into IT or they can't necessarily  get into the School of Education see price school   room because that key doesn't fit that their key  only gives them access to the finance department   same with the computer people they have a key  to get into the computer department cuz that's   where they work but they don't need a key to the  finance department but because I'd be the man I'd be the HOH I know it's a tea and ice yeah I  mean AC and icy and so for the rest of you that   don't know what that means don't even ask don't  worry about it there are a few to understand the   code but because I am the pastor of the church  guess what I have a key ring that has a key   that opens all the doors it's called the master  key so it's a key among T's the other keys will   open certain doors but they won't open all the  doors but my key will open all the doors so I   have access to all the rooms if I choose to now  all of these other pieces helmet sword all that   there are other keys but the master key is the  key of faith because it makes all the doors of   life open up for us so that's why he says above  all take the master key and I've been telling   you that for years that that is the key that  unlocks the treasure trove of God that is the mass   your button you press to make everything else work  that's why he says a bubble if you take the shield   of faith you'll be able to handle the stuff that  comes against the helmet of salvation it'll handle   this thing's it comes against your breastplate  of righteousness will handle the things that   come against the gospel of peace so that's why I  believe that it says above all taking the shield   of faith because if you don't take that the rest  of it won't really work like it ought to you will   not have full armour protection so we agreed  that that looked pretty fair explanation so   anyway this is the armor of Bible knowledge and  I gave you principle we found out that knowledge knowledge I almost heard that okay remember  we're in a fight were in a war and knowledge   and its proper use wins battles not knowledge  wins battles but knowledge and it's now it's   interesting the term proper because things  can be improper things could be misused   misconstrued miss applied and you will not  get the exact results that are intended so   knowledge and this proper use is what wins  battles now we found out that I gave you a   scenario and told you that all put together  Paul said in this section that we read he   said wiles of the devil evil day by regards  all right the wiles of the devil evil day what is that you know I've been in places where  they had these where they had a thing called a   dartboard and it was a round circle thing up  there on the wall and people take to try to   hit the center of it I know what that dart is  is that what the devil does does a dart at me   like that I don't think so but he says fiery  darts let me the dart get fire with you fiery   dart wiles of the devil evil day what is that all  about I gave you I believe the definition of that   it is merely kiss kiss tis tis tis so sweet to  trust in Jesus remember it is did I give you tis   here they tell you about reversing it fi t fit  okay thoughts ideas suggestion again those are   the fiery darts the evil day and the wiles of the  devil they are merely suggestions ideas thoughts   and suggestions then I ask the question okay  can we can we validate that with the scripture   can we prove that out because in the Bible you're  not going to find a verse that specifically says   thoughts ideas and suggestions you'll find that  which alludes to that which points to that but   you won't find specifically that statement so  I'm saying thoughts ideas suggestion but what   does that mean who who be I who I be you know so  can we validate that well I said yes I think we   can so we started looking at evidence we looked  at the first evidence which was even remember   and the devil came to her and merely suggested  something to her I mean he didn't hit her over   the head with with the baseball bat I mean he  didn't put a gun in her mouth and tell you okay   you do this and I'll blow your brains out no he  just thoughts ideas and suggested look at that   tree doesn't it look good oh and God knows the  day you eat that tree you'll be like him knowing   good and evil that was a thought a suggestion  a dart she fell for it and lost the battle as   a result she didn't maintain her thought like  she had information that would have impacted on   her thought life that information was the Word  of God that said in the day you eat you will   die and here comes the devil and says you won't  die she didn't maintain her thought life and she   went under then we had a second illustration or  evidence that was Jesus the devil came to Jesus   after the temptation wilderness temptation and  and made us suggesting he didn't again he didn't   creep up behind him hit him in the head with  the blackjack you know or pistol-whipping or   something like no he just came and said if you be  the Son of God that's a thought if you if you are   really the Son of God command these stones to be  made bread but Jesus maintained his thought life   he kept the Word of God that he had any and used  it against the thoughts the ideas and suggested   that came from the devil and he said it is written  man shall not live by bread alone and he stood the   test and overcame the enemy then the fourth place  or the fourth proof that we have or evidence that   we have was found or is found in John's Gospel  chapter 8 well we'd have to look it up at John   8:44 where Jesus said the devil is a liar not only  is he a liar but Jesus and he's the father of it   he's the ringleader he's the instigator he is the  father of lies now what is the purpose of a lot   to trick you into accepting the lie as the truth  when in fact it's not the truth ideas thoughts   and suggestions now evidence number four we left  off with this but I want to revisit this go to the   book of Revelation chapter 12 we'll find a very  interesting passage that further reveals that   the operation of our enemy is thoughts ideas and  suggestions we're talking about the Battle of the   mind that's where the battle it is to keep your  mind on the things of God and let them up guide   your life there's a scripture in the Old Testament  that says he will keep him in perfect peace whose   mind is stayed on thee that's the old King James  but thou God will keep him in not peace perfect   peace got to be a difference perfect mean complete  this is the authentic stuff this is the real stuff   God will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is  stayed on thee not whose emotions mind whose mind   is stayed on thee how do you do that by having  your mind on the word because the word is God   God and his word or one God in his word or one I  can't if I can't count on your word that means I   can't count on you if your word is no good guess  what neither are you because you are only as good   as your word you cannot be separated from your  word and neither can God so he said you'll keep   him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on  him so that's our armored Bible knowledge and   knowledge and its proper use that's what's gonna  win the battle when the suggestions come when the   thoughts ideas and suggestions come I have to  counter those with what does God say about that   situation all right revelation Revelation chapter  112 all right now look at this revelation 12 and   we'll look at verse 7 revelation 12 and 7 it says  and war broke out in heaven Michael and his angels   fought with the Dragon and the dragon and his  angels fought but they did not prevail nor was   a place found for them in heaven any longer verse  9 so the Great Dragon was cast out that serpent   of old called the devil those are his aliases so  the Great Dragon was cast out the serpent of old   called the devil and Satan who deceives the whole  world he was cast to the earth and his angels were   cast out with him now what is the deception give  me the definition of a deception a lie it's a lot   that's why you tell a lie because you want to  deceive the person into thinking it's this when   is that so they're they're synonymous if you're  a liar you're a deceiver if you're a deceiver you   got to be a liar because you can't deceive without  lying that name the name that is above every name   the name that makes demons tremble and angels  rejoice there's power in that name in the name   of Jesus therefore God also has highly exalted him  and given him the name that at the name of Jesus   every knee should bow of those in heaven and those  on earth and those under the earth the authority   of that name has been given to us as Christians  but do you know how to properly use that name he   said I'm going back to heaven but I'm leaving you  here to transact business in my absence to use my   authority in my name do you really understand the  power behind the name dr. Fredrick Casey price   explains it all in his CD series entitled the name  of Jesus so just having the name of Jesus if you   don't have any faith in the name to use the name  it can't help so you could use the name and know   that God is standing behind that name because  you are a joint heir with Christ everything he   has you had the name of Jesus ordered this six CD  set for your love gift of thirty dollars or more   toward the ongoing work of this ministry call the  number on your screen or write to dr. Frederick   Casey price Vox 90,000 Los Angeles California  9z Rosi Rosi rona you still here now watch this   now he says now he says rather in verse nine  so the Great Dragon was cast out that serpent   of old called the devil and Satan who deceives  the whole world now watch this because this can   really oh man this this can really help you you  know I told you I've told you in years gone by   I have a method of reading the Bible that I call  the flip flop method what that means is I I take   a scripture and I'll flip it over on the flip side  and I'll read what it does not say and when I read   what it does not say somehow for me it seems to  magnify what it does say are you following now   watch this verse 9 again so the Great Dragon was  cast out that serpent of all the devil and Satan   who deceives what who the whole world now this is  what it doesn't say so the Great Dragon was cast   out that serpent of old called the devil and Satan  who deceives all the black folks in the world all   the black folks in the whole world no no I'm sorry  I didn't read that right so the Great Dragon was   cast out the SERP that serpent of old called the  devil and Satan who deceives the whole white race   all over the world didn't you say that what we're  kind of Bobby re or maybe you can't read that's   your problem you can't read okay watch this now  I got it I got it I got it watch this now so the   Great Dragon was cast out that serpent of old  called the devil and Satan who deceives all of   the yellow brown red black and white folks of  the world the whole world took total world not   the United States not England not Russia not China  not Japan not Canada the whole he diseased world   get the enormity of it so the Great Dragon was  cast out that serpent of old called the devil and   Satan who deceives the whole world he deceived  so the whole work that's why it's so screwed   up haven't you ever wondered why this world is so  screwed up you ever go out sometime like yesterday   friends we flew in from from Pennsylvania side  ministry ministered in Pennsylvania Friday night   in Saturday morning and we flew into LA and the  weather was so pretty the sky was so pretty and   it was just beautiful weather and sometimes I  I when I see a beautiful day like that I say to   myself look at the trees just waving in the breeze  look at the cloudless sky look at the filtered   air that's just just clear you disability was  just almost unlimited and you just wonder golly   why can't people be at peace why is somebody out  there trying to kill somebody rip somebody off why   do people why are they unhappy when all of this  beauty is here to enjoy you ever wonder about that   you know why because the deceivers at work and  because people don't maintain your thought life   they're running around chasing their tail because  they've lost the Battle of the mind it all hinges   on the mind I told you this before and I don't say  it to be funny or facetious but because it's true   to show you how strong the battle is how powerful  the battle is since I said over there welcome to   ever-increasing faith your minds most of you have  been divided you haven't consistently listened to   what I've been saying on you've been thinking  about oh we gonna take dad to dinner today and   you missed that's how people miss that's why God  led me to do so much repetition you might want to   what didn't he already said that 90 times I know  I almost say it 95 times more because you didn't   get it because you were thinking about the brunch  or the dinner or whatever it might be because most   people even you like Christian difficult for  you to maintain your thought life consistently   you it's difficult for you to have a one-track  mind now sometimes you'll hear people use that   term one-track 9 but when they use it they use it  derogatorily they mean was something wrong with   you no no that's the person the smart has got a  one-track mind keep your thoughts on one thought   at a time until it's exhausted and dealt with you  got 75 dots going that's why you're a scatterbrain   I didn't call him name but it's true you think  about it you think about it alright now watch   this now watch this now watch this now he deceives  the whole world now remember again that the word   or statement who deceives the whole world is a  statement of summary it summarizes the activity of   the devil on the earth his mission is to deceive  the word deceives implies to cause you to believe   and accept something that is not true that's the  purpose of a deception I want you to think that   what I'm telling you is the truth but all the time  I got an ulterior motive going I'm not telling you   the truth I'm lying to you but the purpose of  the lie is to get you to accept the lie as the   truth and then that way I can take advantage of  you okay all right ultimately the devil is out   to cause us to think on things as I said that are  not true and the devices that he uses are thoughts   ideas and suggestions through the use of these he  lures people into thinking on things that are not   true now let's review the devil successively  deceived Eve go to first Timothy chapter 4 we   looked at this before but I want to have it I  want to have it fresh in your mind before we go   into new material because it's this this thing  of the mind is so important this Battle of the   mind Christians are unfortunate so many are losing  the battle they're losing the battle and the thing   about it is so unnecessary first Timothy chapter 2  if you have to say I have it all right what I say what I say see that you're mine you can't even  keep your mind on watch my lips 1st Timothy   chapter 2 so what'd I say you said what I said  chapter 4 can you prove it alright attorney okay   first Timothy chapter the one after the first  chapter and the one did come just before alright   first Timothy chapter two look at this verse  14 what'd I say alright watch this now we're   looking at we're looking at the first time the  enemy used thoughts ideas and suggestions verse   14 and Adam was not deceived but the woman  being deceived fell into transgression the   man wasn't deceived the woman was deceived  why because she didn't maintain her thought   life now he unsuccessfully tried to deceive  Jesus but has already pointed out Jesus soiled   every attempt that he had by using the word or  maintaining his thought life then in Revelation   12 we find out that he hurt his purpose is to  deceive the whole world you know what whoa go   back to Revelation chapter 12 my lord go back  there I wanna I wanna show you something Wow man this is incredible you have kept the 12 revelation look at that nine  first again I want you to flip-flop method I want   you to read I want to read what it doesn't say  what's this incredible so then so the Great   Dragon was cast out the serpent of old called  the devil and Satan who tries to deceive the   whole world and in other words the word try in any  context suggests the idea that it might not work that it might not work I'm gonna try this we  always use that expression it's really dumb   you go to the recipe I think I'm gonna try some I  think I'm gonna try some apple pie and ice cream   I ain't I'm gonna eat it I'm gonna have it and eat  it I think I'm gonna try hamburger you know you're   not you gonna eat a hamburger think about well  everybody says it and I listen to people and it's   the dumbest thing you're not gonna try it you're  gonna eat it you're gonna order that and eat it   you're not gonna try it you're gonna eat it you're  gonna order it aren't you huh so he it doesn't say   here that he tried this is incredible listen to  this thank God I didn't see it at first that's why   glad I came to church today listen listen watch it  this is a definitive statement listen to this so   the Great Dragon was cast out that serpent of old  called the devil and Satan who deceives the whole   world hey he ain't tryin he's doing it he's doing  it that's why the world is so messed up all right   so Jesus defeated the enemy but there's another  piece of evidence I want to present this support   our conclusion that what the devil uses against  us or thoughts ideas and suggestions Revelation   chapter 20 it talks about a future event that  will be a glorious event in the sense that is   something that the people of God look forward to  with great anticipation but let's read it first   and then we will draw from in a few nuggets of  truth Revelation chapter 20 Revelation chapter   20 if you have it say I have it alright Revelation  chapter 20 and we'll begin reading at verse 1 it   says then I saw an angel coming down from heaven  having the key of the bottomless pit and a great   chain in his hand he laid hold of the dragon that  serpent of old who is the devil now we know who   that is now he's the what let's use one word to  describe him deceiver he's a deceiver right we   agree based on what we've read all right verse  two he laid hold of the dragon that serpent of   old who is the devil and Satan and bound him for a  thousand years and it cast him into the bottomless   pit and set him up and set a seal on him so that  he should deceive the nation's No More till or   until the thousand years were finished but after  these things he must be released must be released   for a little while and I saw Thrones and they sat  on them and judgment was committed to them then I   saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for  their witness to Jesus and for the word of God   who had not worshiped the beast or his image and  had not received his mark on their foreheads or   in their hands or on their hands and they lived  and reigned with Christ for a thousand here but   the rest of the Dead did not live again until the  thousand years were finished this is the second   or this is the first resurrection blessed and holy  is he who has part in the first resurrection over   such the second death has no power but they shall  be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign   with him a thousand years now verse seven say  now when the thousand years had expired Satan   will be released from his prison and will go out  to deceive oh my god that's all the dude knows how   to do is deceit you think that after a thousand  years of imprisonment that you would have learned   your lesson that you would have capitulated and  say you know what this bit important it didn't   work that this game didn't work it it hooked me  up for a thousand years of solitary confinement   you would think it would be over but because he's  the father of lies he therefore is the father of   deception and he didn't even learn the lesson  after a thousand years percentage now when the   thousand years have expired seed will be released  from his prison and will go out to deceive the   nations which are in the four corners of the earth  Gog and Magog to gather them together to battle   whose number is as the sand of the sea they went  up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the   camp of the saints in the polluted city and fire  came down from God out of heaven and devoured them   the devil who deceived them notice all every time  it refers to this guy he deceived the deceiver   deceived to see he's a trickster you a fool to  listen to him this ought to tell you that every   game that he plays every word that he brings  to you is alive you can't trust him as some of   you've been listening to him and that's how your  lies have been messed up that's not a put-down   that's not that's not a not a judgement call on  you just an observation because if you hadn't   been listening to him your life would be better  and you wouldn't be such a pain to live with and   called any names so you don't get upset now verse  10 the devil who deceived them was cast into the   lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and  the false prophet are and they will be tormented   day and night forever and ever now we rented in in  12 he deceives the whole world here we found out   he locked up for a thousand years and gets out  of prison gets out of jail and the sucker goes   right back to his game plan what he's a father  of the lives he's a father of deception that's   all he knows he's a trickster anybody listened to  him that doesn't maintain their thought like and   listened to thoughts ideas and suggestions they  go contrary to the Word of God man tits that's   incredible all right now these verses we can draw  a clear conclusion the conclusion is this doing   every moment that the devil is loose on earth he  doesn't know anything else other than to lie and   deceive he wants us to think on things that are  not true so that we don't maintain our thought   life and as a result of that we go down the tubes  now let's consider the evidence having examined   these biblical accounts as evidence Eve Jesus  revelation let's go back to a question I asked   before can we be certain number one that the  enemy shoots thoughts against our minds number   two attacks in the mental realm and number three  that the thoughts ideas and suggestions are in   fact the fiery darts the evil day and the wiles  of the devil now again we looked at it before but   let's look at it again the devil's approach to Eve  Genesis chapter 3 we won't look at it but we know   what happened thoughts ideas and suggested in Luke  chapter 4 we looked at Jesus in the wilderness the   devil came thoughts ideas and suggestion we  looked at Revelation we found out all he does   is deceive he's a liar and a deceiver all he uses  our thoughts ideas and suggestion in his attempt   to conquer us that's where the battleground is  in your mind in your mind you think about it   I've said it before go back and check yourself  out all the problems you got into a result of   your mind the devil suggested something and you  fell for it hook line and sinker the fishing   pole the fisherman and his boots you swallow the  whole thing and your life had been screwed since   then go ahead and take that thing good angle  no it's gone they got more money than you do and we fall for it and then we go down the  tubes now since we found out that the the   the thing the wiles of the devil the evil day  and the fiery darts are no more than thoughts   ideas and suggestions let's go to at scripture  in 2nd Corinthians chapter 2 and this is the   icing on the cake and this is what I've been  attempting to get across to this congregation   for years and some of you have got it yet  and constantly call in the church for an   appointment for counseling and really what you  don't realize is that this whole ministry that   we present to you here in the public way which  is not preaching but teaching see I'm mad about   this ministry is not focused on making you feel  good emotionally only because that's not going   to really help you in the bottom in the basic  issues of life now a lot of churches you can go   to I can recommend all over the city and I mean  I don't mean that facetiously I'm talking about   it that's what you want there's somebody that  plays your game and you're places you can go   and you will be emotionalized to the limit this  ministry has been based on teaching preaching is inspirational but teaching is informational  and you need knowledge or information because   knowledge and information and his proper use  wins battle emotions will not win any battles   in fact they're keep you in bondage if you govern  your life by them because they'll have you strung   out you talk about drugs the worst drug in the  world is the drug of emotion in reference to the   things of God where you just allow the emotions  to govern you your action we're here we're about   teaching about imparting knowledge to you a lot  of people don't want that the other one they want   to feel good well I have found out there's two  ways you can go you can start out with emotions   and end up with emotions or you can start out with  information and end up with emotion meaning a good   feeling I get a good feeling out of know out  of knowing I will man that's the best pill of   emotion that I can get to know that I win in the  issues of life I maintain my thought life I use   my armor and I do not play to the thoughts ideas  and suggestion that the devil bring and he brings   them to me just like he brings them to you even  more so because I would be a bigger trophy than   you not that that makes me somebody but the  point is by virtue of my position guess who's   here listening to whom I ain't here listening to  you you here listening to me so it's a certain   extent I must have some influence on your life  so if the devil can corrupt me he can corrupt   the possibility of my influencing you that's  all I'm talking about not making me somebody   important as such I have my place but the whole  point about it is that if the devil can do that   to me he can get to you and and he does it all  the time he comes against me day and night 24/7   365 just like you and I have to use this word if  you will listen to this word that comes out of   this church you would not be calling the office  for a counseling appointment watch this because   if you have perception you would be able to  see that what I'm doing here is counseling if you take heed to this you won't need a  counseling appointment guess what I have   never called a pastor for counseling I got the  counseling manual right here I got it right here   I don't need a degree to counsel all I need is  this word because we're talking about things   that have their roots in spiritual warfare  thank God for academics don't misunderstand   me but the bottom line that we as Christians are  dealing with is a spiritual enemy and a spiritual   warfare that comes against us in our mind to  get us to submit our bodies and our spirits to   the devil so that he can control now I didn't  go over to will I think I told you to turn to   what what I tell you turn to something whatever  all right second Corinthians chapter 2 verse 11   lest Satan should take advantage of us but we  are not ignorant I love it we're not ignorant   of this device now every one of you that's been  in this service since we started when I say the   service this series on the Battle of the mind  every one of you you are no longer legitimately   ignorant if if listen if you don't listen and  take advantage of it you deserve every not the   devil can put on your hard brick head and every  footprint eek and put into the backside of your   posterior portion of your anatomy I think I  said that nicely you know I could have said   something else little shorter words but I think  that ought to convey the idea you deserve every   notch you get every brick that falls on you you  deserve it because you're getting information you   know exactly the wiles of the devil the fiery  darts in the evil day they are thoughts I did   and suggestion and if you'll take this word  and submit every thought every idea and every   suggestion to the Word of God you will never be  deceived by that trickster the devil never never   never oh my God look at my time I didn't get as  far as I wanted to get dot thought I was gonna   get brother okay here we go down here we go now  again I want to leave this with you what are the   wilds evil day in the fiery darts no more nothing  more than thoughts ideas and suggestions now Jesus   knew what he was saying when he quit when he was  out of time stay right where you are dismissed   have been a blessing to the announcement here  some very important information about how you   may obtain an audio cassette of the message  which you've just heard for your own spiritual   enrichment and edification remember again that  these telecast and radio broadcasts are made   possible by the continues people offerings of  you the viewers and listeners remember also   these word from second Corinthians chapter  5 verse 7 but we walk by faith not by sight you
