Facing Bullies: Part 2 | Tim Sheets

as being a part of a necklace SIA there is a responsibility that we have to be Watchmen and there are times when when I have to take on a different role and share some things that are a little difficult to share but they need to be said and today will be one of those times but everything that I'm about to say is changeable everything that I'm about to say the church can fix everything I'm about to say we can take care of quickly if we will just do it but we cannot let the voice of our adversaries produce in our nation something that I consider to be evil and we cannot be those that bury our head in the sand we have to be we have to be Watchmen that are paying attention but I want to say there is victory we can change this and I believe we're going to because I believe God's up to something but he requires of us to raise our voice as I begin to say last week Philippians chapter 1 verse 28 and not in any way terrified by your adversaries which is to them a token or proof of perdition but to you of salvation and that from God new living translation don't be intimidated anyway in any way by your enemies this will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed but that you're going to be saved even by God himself the amplified bible and do not for a moment be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries for such constancy and fearlessness will be a clear sign proof and seal to them of their impending destruction but assured token in ever of your deliverance and salvation and that from God let's pray today Lord we thank you for your word we thank you that it instructs us it disciplines us it inspires us do all of that today Lord you are welcome to release enlightenment and revelation in this room today Holy Spirit wonderful teacher we are told you stand in our King's presence and then you come and speak what he is saying to us and our King said to hear what you are saying to the church we're listening today speak your word to us and I ask for the anointing of Samuel that not one word that I speak fall to the ground and I ask it in Jesus name Amen may be seated there's an aspect of supernatural seasons this due season this new era we are in that has my attention quite a bit right now and it's speaking to the church today it's speaking to the Oasis I started this last last week but it didn't finish it and so because it was Labor Day and many gone I'm gonna review just a bit of it but and moved to new territory but I'm gonna do it in a different way I'm gonna add some things to what I shared last week to freshen it for those that were here from Acts chapter 4 in verse 29 we saw that the first church the first apostles prayed for boldness to confront adversarial culture adversarial government adversarial religion and adversary adversarial ideology or philosophies they prayed grant that great boldness would be upon us to declare your word and give us signs and wonders and miracles in the name of Jesus give us boldness to say what you say Lord it of course is a prayer that we must be praying today as well we need a an anointing of boldness to confront adversarial culture to confront adversarial government adversarial religion and adversarial doctrines of humanism socialism and communism that opposes the gospel of Jesus Christ we must confront the bullies the bullying and I believe that that we're about to do that by the way but we must confront the bullies to say it clearly we must confront the Christian phobes the Christian phobics the bullying of good and god-fearing people is amping up I think you probably know that the bowing of Christians and our values is rising dramatically the bullying of the so-called deplorable --zz who cling to their God in their guns the Walmart shoppers who smell different to self-righteous bigots to Hollywood to summoned government to summon media to some of the Department of Justice perhaps they they smell different because they aren't carrying the putrid presence of demons on their lives or perhaps it's because they aren't carrying the infection and the pus of hatred and violence and class warfare and corruption and real racism God in His values - to these Walmart shoppers are just ok but that's just awful - arrogant ëletís no let's be clear it's the bullying that is deplorable and a stand has got to be made there's a sigh that is rising from common everyday American patriots many of whom are Christians who are saying enough is enough and I believe that they are about to they are about to make a move on things and make a radical stand I believe that some good god-fearing people some good American people are going to begin to confront some things in our nation including and possibly even number one I don't really know but maybe including number one apathy among us I read a bumper sticker that I think kind of sums it up pretty clearly the bumper sticker read the problem with America is apathy but who cares the apathy has got to be confronted and a wake-up call is being issued to patriotic Americans and to of course the body of Christ and a paper tiger is about to find out there are many of us that do care and if we wake up we can change things and we can change it quickly now there's a concerted effort to purge Christianity from the nation called America that is going to have to be confronted we cannot continue to let it stand we saw last week that some of the century we saw some of the censoring of of Christianity from YouTube and from Google and of course we have seen it the past few years against the Tea Party or or even some in our Congress we saw legislation that if now it's now being presented and if passed it would muzzle Christian people Christianity even keep them out of public positions like being a judge why because Christian values might seep into their decision making Kamala Harris is now pushing that also much of our education system is now champion championing this effort against Christianity especially our colleges and our universities they have become in many cases not all but in many cases they have become humanists temples humanists synagogues and they preached the gospel of secular humanism and they have flaming evangelists called tenured professors they have flaming evangelists called faculty I'm sure there are a few good professors out there but there are far too many that have a demon agenda these demon evangelists are making it their mission to remove Christianity from the land they are evangelizing and indoctrinating our young men and women with Antichrist humanistic doctrines and of course it's now it's now running down even into our high schools and into our junior schools and they are thumbing their nose at our parents saying we'll teach your little boys that they might be little girls or we'll teach your little girls that they might be little boys if we want to and you're not going to do anything about that and we'll teach them very little reading and writing and arithmetic and what we do teach of that will now be at a third level think about it it's now at a third-world level but we will teach them transgender rights we will teach them gay marriage we will teach them the importance of abortion and of course we will teach them global warming and you will stay out of it when will the insanity stop it will stop precisely when the passivity stops did you see this past week that the Faculty of Kansas University is demanding that chick-fil-a be removed from can campus calling it a bastion of bigotry they said since chick-fil-a embraces Christian values they might impact our students safety it's a safety issue I thought they had that covered don't they have a tent where they can go and pet puppies I don't know they said because they believe in the Christian view of traditional marriage this will foster a culture of hate and discrimination against the LGBTQ people and caused them to be traumatized physically emotionally and mentally I'm not making this up I'm not even embellishing it no these highly educated secular evangelists are concerned that a chicken restaurant will traumatize the Millennials of course chick-fil-a is simply a good Christian company if we were open today I'd say let's just go but they're closed on Sunday to respect the church and to offer a day of rest to their employees and that's just crazy to some people chick-fil-a doesn't preach their values when you enter into their restaurants there's a cow on the wall that talks about eating chicken that's about it they serve everybody no question asked no signs on the wall against anything but but that's not okay two liberal evangelists know if it's Christian owned it must be destroyed if it's Christian owned it must be removed and this is happening all over the United States right now it's not okay to the Hollywood or the media evangelists it must be boycotted it it must the they got to have revenge that they got to shut them down in the name of tolerance it can't be tolerated in the name of tolerance it's got to be destroyed which is beyond hypocritical it's senseless if you haven't noticed the so-called tolerant ones the ones preaching tolerance and acceptance of other people's values are some of the most intolerant people that we have on the planet I thought someone should actually give the definition of a bigot here it is a person who is intolerant of of those holding different opinions here that a person who is on intolerant of those holding different opinions that's the definition of a bigot well as a Christian I have some different opinions but they aren't tolerated they're very intolerant of those positions and they want us to shut up they want us to have to leave restaurants or they want us to be fired and so by the real definition they are bigots they're the bigots see liberals here's their doctrine we've got to understand it liberals expect others to not merely tolerate and accept their lifestyle choices no they demand that we celebrate their lifestyle choices with them all the while refusing to acknowledge the choices and lifestyles of those who have a different opinion especially Christians they are flaming hypocrites they are the real bastion of bigots but because of a passive nominal nominal means in name only church and sadly because of far too many of our church leaders who have a wishbone instead of a backbone they wish something would be done but they aren't going to lead it because of it much of the church is intimidated and they're fearful of making a stand they are afraid of the bullies so the bullies are free to spout their demon doctrines to the shame I think to the shame of those who say they're Christians but they stand for nothing they compromise at the drop of a hat they don't want to get involved they don't want to serve commitment to a cause commitment to a local church that does dare to make a stand OS discarded as outdated to give your time or your money to the calls you got to be kidding I mean haven't you heard that narcissism now forms the core of today's Christianity we have new revelation now new grace it's not about God it's not about his word it's not a about his ways it's not about his church it's not about his church making a stand it is about us it's about me it's not about your kingdom Lord it's not about you actually I'm not sure I even believe in this kingdom thing I think that might just be figurative and because of passive indifference and selfish me ISM we have got to admit that we have empowered fools people with crazy ideas as well of those in leadership positions of our government with demon ideas the religious indifference must be confronted and we've got to wake up and we need to wake up now our leaders we need to wake up again the idea is target the Christians target them target the remnant believers of the Lord who are making a stand attempt to intimidate them into silence ridicule them taunt them harass them bully them again how long is this going to last as long as the passivity does Holy Spirit spoke to me last year he woke me in the middle of the night in Florida was doing a conference and he said these words the Lord of hosts is tired of his sons and daughters being bullied the strong arm of the Lord will now be revealed and seen through an overpowering and be seen overpowering and defeating the forever loser through an unawakened ekklesia it's time for that King Jesus wants to deal with the bullies that are that are rising against his church and his sons and his daughters the true ekklesia the true church the church reigning with Jesus delegated authority it's got to awaken and we can change things but we've got to wake up we need to pray the prayer of the first church and the first apostles for great anointing of boldness to soak us and begin to push back here the definition of boldness in acts 429 grant the great boldness would be upon us than a signs wonders and miracles would be done in the name of Jesus I gave the definition last week boldness party Jie it means to be outspoken means to be frank means to raise your voice it means to speak up means to shout out and it actually means public bluntness none of this politically correct meaningless nonsense party Jie frankly say it so an observable standard can be seen party she also means confident speech or open speech it means fearless public speech it means it means to make something publicly known or it means to speak one's heart and mind freely see silent thoughts do not change a culture they must be triggered with words silent thoughts do not change history they must be communicated speak up say it publicly be bold speak to good sound biblical cultural values publicly the early church prayed for that kind of boldness none of this stay out of the public discourse thing to them no God make us bold to declare our heart God God make us vote to speak our minds that have been renewed to your word give us fearless public speech anoint us to be outspoken about our faith not not private about it as the world continues to shout at us and some nominal leaders do just keep your faith private don't want to be a target no public public public like your word says may God awaken his people and give us great boldness to speak publicly for his calls now a week or so ago something took place against the church in Christianity that is unprecedented but again shows us the targeting of our values it's almost hard to believe this one it was not covered by the news conveniently hiding it behind the hurricane coverage but the Democratic National Committee met and they passed a resolution this is from Christian headline news few other places did talk about it it was a resolution championed by secular the secular Coalition of America which lobbies on behalf of atheists agnostics and humanists for public policy so these folks are not going to stay out of public policy it passed with unanimous consent absent one abstention it says the DNC recognizes that morals and values are not reliant on having a belief in God or a world view based on Christianity and freely embraces American non-believers of course that's just another way of saying Christians it continues the non-religious people represent the largest demographic group in the Democratic Party here that agnostics atheists secular humanists now are the largest people group in the Democratic Party that doesn't surprise me but they're admitting it the non-religious people represent the largest demographic group in the Democratic Party this non-religious unchurched or unaffiliated group of atheists agnostics and humanists should be represented by the Democratic Party for their contributions to our nation the DNC recognizes the value and ethical soundness of these non-religious non-christians who contribute to the success of our party the DNC recognizes this non-religious unchurched people group have the right to advocate or recommend they have the right to advocate for rational public policy based on science and universal humanistic values and should be represented and included and heard by our party the director of government affairs for the secular Coalition for America Sara Levin said I am proud to see the Democratic Party taking this to heart and break and bringing secular non-believing Americans into the fold other atheist groups of course a plot of the resolution as did the Freedom From Religion Foundation the Freedom From Religion Foundation they said we are optimistic that the DNC resolution is a sign of better things to come maybe like let's take abortion to the whole world and control the population that was Bernie Sanders excuse me evil Bernie Sanders position this week let's take a trillion and provide abortion for the world and control the population that'll help us with global warming how long is the insanity going to continue as long as the passivity does Edmund Burke's quote still rings true the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing so now now we have for the first time the first of its kind resident resolution by a political party that criticizes churchgoers and Christians who don't understand rational public policy and some of them were mentioned you can guess what they were like abortion same-sex marriage a rational immigration policy that makes America stronger as well as universal humanistic values Christian's let the atheists the agnostics the non churchgoers advocate for public policy you stay out of it we're going to let them advocate for what they say is rational after all they're our largest group now not judeo-christian ethics that have served America quite well no universal secular humanistic atheistic agnostic ethics in other words godless ethics godless values this is not your mom and dad's or grandmother and grandfather's Democratic Party they have an antichrist agenda that they are now promoting and I believe it's going to destroy this nation if not stopped if good and please know America is filled with good people it really is they're good people everywhere they don't want this mess there they're good people if good god-fearing and yes Christians church-going people it's good Americans and good church-going people don't raise their voice and say enough is enough we're not gonna recognize this country we have got to say we will no longer be bullied and we will now push back along with true American patriots in all areas of the law of life all areas of society we must make a public stand but further as Christians our King expects us to make a stand King Jesus expects us to make a public stand that's what he called his church a necklace eeeh as his ekklesia meaning his spiritual government on the earth that effects natural government on earth he expects us to vote not 73 million of us set on our butts on Sunday and do nothing yes I just said that to vote according to biblical values not humanistic values now very clearly the first New Testament church the first decla see in the book of Acts and the first apostles did not keep their mouths closed they didn't they were vocal they were involved in disciple the nation as Matthew 28:19 says that we're to do yes Matthew 16 says we disciple people but the King said in Matthew 28:19 disciple the nation nation nation nation why do we change it he said disciple the nation the early precedent-setting church showed us some boldness a boldness we must begin to emulate or we'll lose this nation you see you cannot passively disciple can't be done words matter words define things words change things words correct things words activate things words birth transitions words motivate mutt words inspire words describe and set values if the only words heard in the public arena are from the crazies the senseless the demon mantras against God's ways then senseless crazy things are going to be done Antichrist things are gonna be done we've got to return to New Testament Christianity bold vocal bold fearless outspoken blunt truth must be declared publicly yes it has to be said with grace and seasoned with salt filtered through love and compassion please no I don't want anybody harmed I don't want anybody abused but the true still has to be said and it can't be compromised but I don't wish anybody harm of course we love people that doesn't mean we agree we cannot be bullied into silence the word bully thought that ought to be defined to means to attempt to intimidate someone into obeying what you say or doing what you say or else you'll be harmed that of course is the tactic that is being ply applied against us be quiet or else again Holy Spirit said the Lord of hosts is tired of this and it's time for an awakened ekklesia an awakened Church our opening scriptures in Philippians 1:28 said this and in nothing terrified by your adversaries which is to them an evident token of perdition but to you of salvation and that of God the amplified bible says and do not for a moment be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries for such constancy and fearlessness will be a clear sign proof and seal to them of their impending destruction but as your token and evidence of your deliverance and salvation and that from God it says in nothing terrified by your adversaries nothing it's the Greek word made ice and made ice means not even one it's a great number zero b 0 b 0 terrified by your adversaries b0 terrified by your adversaries whether they be human institutions or demonic doesn't matter 0 the word terrified is the greek word potaro and it means scared or it means frightened or it means intimidated or bullied in zero be intimidated by your adversaries in zero be intimidated by the devil in no way be scared of him do not let him or anyone he uses bully you in zero be bullied the church today needs to understand New Testament doctrine we've let it slip we are not to be intimidated by a big mean devil or anyone who uses actually he's supposed to be intimidated by us how's that for a flip we're not to worry about what the devil is going to do he ought to be worried about what we're going to do he ought to be looking over his shoulder not us looking over our shoulder the devil's not in control in Christ we're to be in control supposed to be didn't jesus strip him of his power Jesus legally defeated the devil for us 2,000 years ago on Calvary and then he gives that power to us through the use of his name Matthew 28:18 Jesus said all power has been given to me in heaven and in earth the words all power simply means sum total the sum total of all power in heaven and earth has been given to me King Jesus said and in my name I'm giving it to you for you to use it that word power is the Greek word EXO sia and it means Authority all authority in heaven and earth is mine and I'm giving it to you in my name well if he has all power and all authority in heaven and in earth then that must mean that Lucifer has zero why would we be afraid of mr. zero holy spirit had it has it right why would you fear the forever loser so that now James 4:7 says when we resist the devil he flees from us how did we get that one backwards the devil resists us and we flee no that's not what it says no when he when when we resist the devil he flees from us I'm not gonna run I'm just not gonna run now the Greek word for resist pictures aggressive Authority aggressive Authority now resist is the Greek word and this to me it's a military term but it means to array for battle no words put your fighting clothes on yell it's in the Bible but you're fighting clothes on it means aggressive Authority means to put on your armor and fight it is a call is actually a call to arms it pictures a leader of an army like like a general who stands before the troops in full uniform with all of these medals on and it's the stripes are on the shoulder and the bars and all the stars that that identify his position of authority in pictures him standing in authority regalia and beginning to issue bold commands clear commands decisive commands aggressive commands in the Greek word and this to me you can hear an English word antihistamine or antihistamine sounds like it an antihistamine is a medicine that fights off allergies so you can breathe it opens up stopped-up passages it opens breathing passages it unclogged stopped-up passages what a great word holy spirit-inspired to be used here when the devil comes to intimidate and clog things up put your spiritual armor on put your fighting clothes on and decree your authority in Jesus name publicly when he comes to suffocate us with his attack and that's sometimes how it feels you get under some attacks of the devil it feels like you can't get your breath you can't get your breath emotionally spiritually or whatever but when it's like that array for battle put your fighting clothes on and use your authority and command him to go in the name of King Jesus declare his stopped-up passageways to open in Jesus name don't be silent when it comes to clog up the promises that God has made to you rise in authority don't be intimidated stand like a general in full authority and command the passages of promise to open when he comes to clog up the work of the the work of of the church in a city a state or a nation or a for battle put your fighting clothes on rise in authority refuse to be intimidated stand up and use your authority and unclog the blockages raise your voice and declare your authority in my name command passageways of blessings to open command passageways of freedom to open command command passage waste to inheritance open don't let him bully you New Testament doctrine well couldn't resist this 158 years ago I lived in Hillsboro Ohio I was in a third grade and there was a bully in the third grade named Carl and Carl decided he's gonna pick on me now Carl had a gang with him he always traveled with four or five other third graders doesn't sound like a big deal but if you're a third grader but it is a big deal Carl wore boots heavy boots and he had horseshoe taps on the heels of those boots and he had gotten a reputation of he'd take the boots off and whip you with him first week of school he decided he would pick on me I was coming home from school and he's yelling he's doing what bullies do and I just kept walking and trying to get away and finally I did and he yelling at me and I I went on down got away Haddie's gang with him next day I looked I saw him down the street so I went another way home and I did that for a couple of days but it started to bug me I dad just bothered me I got mad will use a better word angry and I thought if I ever get my if I ever get my chance I'm gonna take it well a couple weeks after this this true story I've seeing it as I'm talking I'm out behind the house my house playing back then there was a lot of alleys behind the house or a B alleys and I look and Karl is coming down the alley behind my house and he doesn't have a gang with him and before I knew what I was running I ran to the alley I ran right up in front of him and I said something like you don't have your gang with you today you want to fight and he he started swinging I mean we started punching it out I mean it was it was a fight slinging people are slinging him around he's trying to sling me we're just fighting as hard as I can and sure enough he starts he gets one of his boots off and he gets another one off and I'm like oh Lord and I've really fought harder cuz I learned he can't I don't like to let him hit me with those boots that with those taps of horseshoe taps on and so I grabbed these boots and I threw him up on top of the garage we kept going at it and really wasn't even that hard I started throwing him around I mean Dutch was a harder fight than that and you know he's a wimp you know finally he backed up and he took off running down the alley never did find out how he got those boots down he got them down somehow but the point is the bully was not a problem once I turned and faced him he was mean and intimidating till I decided no more I'm not hiding I'm not walking around the block anymore I'm not going to detour I'm not gonna run I'm gonna make a stand I'm fighting yeah I was amazed at how easy it was because Carl was mostly mouths the devil has the biggest mouth in the universe and it is time for the church to face his big mouth it's time to use the weapons of our warfare that are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of his strongholds it's time to use the superior power that we've been given in Jesus name and face hell's bully mixed and it's time to be engaged and unintimidated warriors recognizing graters he that is in us than he that's in the world as Paul said it's time to in in no way be terrified by our adversaries not by the media not by ABC not by CNN not by MSNBC not by the ACLU or any other alphabet club not by the media not by humanism not by a political party not by Islam not by atheism not by the government and certainly not by the devil nothing means nothing we need unstop some passageways in America good people know how to do that and certainly Christians ought to know how to do that no clogs no running from the bullies we got to make a resolved decision that the bullies will not intimidate us or detour us made ice zero no clogs no zip nada not in our nation made ice zero we give you no place devil we refused to compromise zero we will not compromise
