Faith for the Battle ~ Tuesday 9.14.21 ~ 7 PM

and a couple quick announcements and then we'll release the junior and senior high there is a vast difference between perception and reality and the bible tells us in isaiah chapter 59 when the enemy comes in like a flood when the enemy comes in like a flood and everybody here is aware that the last year and a half has been goofy weird odd different people have lost their minds people have begun to live their lives according to perceptions rather than reality they perceive something to be true but it's not they're inundated with information and misinformation the earth is being flooded in this hour by the powers of darkness by principalities and powers by spiritual wickedness and the attempt of hell and listen to me i specifically want the young people to hear me before you go because he wants you to perceive that what he is saying that is nothing but a lie is truth and if he can change your perception then he can affect your behavior the enemy operates through fear he is trying to oppress and depress and cause people to lose hope vision and strength through fear we're living in a generation where young people are losing hope about their tomorrow because all they can see is is is that this pageantry of stupidity will never end and it's affecting me and my dreams and for what reason do i have to live well i'm here to tell you people god the holy one of israel still has a plan and his word is still going to come to pass do not give up do not shrink back and do not bow to the perception but get back and recognize heaven is real hell is real and god is still moving in the earth and he called you for this generation he chose you for this time and he chose this time for you do not fear rise up stir yourself up and recognize it's not by accident that you're here and god glory to god through his grace and his mercy have said and i'm going to say it real quick before i release you but i want you to hit one another real hard and say tag you're it come on now i was expecting the youth to take advantage of that come on taj i just gave you permission to hit your mama praise the lord no but seriously tag you're it tag you're it if you don't rise up nobody else will if you don't push back nobody else will and you are destined to just fall into the trap that the enemy has set god is wanting to awaken his people with a fervency with vengeance with understanding that a time has come on planet earth and as we've said and talked about in times past we realize matthew chapter 11 verse 12 says the kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force god's plan and purpose for your life is under attack by the powers of hell and you better possess god's plan by getting into faith and building yourself up if you're going to have it it's going to be up to you so i just want to encourage you people because because the enemy he don't play fair and he's not playing he's warring he wants to take you straight to hell he wants to lead you down a pathway into such debauchery unbelief and sin that you'll never possess what god has ordered for you it's up to you it's up to you and so we're here to encourage you we're here to build you up we're here to strengthen you this goes for all of us but i speak this specifically over our young people because i realize and understand you're the target because you're the generation that is now and that will come that will be that warring generation that's going to stand and possess the kingdom of god the time has come for the saints to possess praise the lord so go have christ and go have fun praise the lord amen cool thank you thank you pastor i didn't like to hear all that you need to hear it praise the lord i got you somewhere it must be i thought i had it you can check you can grab it amen all right praise the lord now in opening up with the young people for us as adults we have to remind ourselves of the same truth the same principle the understanding and recognition revelation that as the enemy has come in like a flood he's trying to cause people to miss what it is that god has designed and i have some places that i want to go but i want to read a passage of scripture first of all out of hebrews chapter 5 hebrews chapter 5. i want to read this to set um a precedent and then i actually tonight i feel like it's very important that i lay another yet another foundation go with me to hebrews chapter 11. i mean chapter 5. hebrews chapter 5. praise the lord father thank you for your word having free course thank you that the anointing prevails thank you that no weapon formed against me shall prosper no plague no calamity shall come near my dwelling father i break the power of every assignment every work every scheme every plan i call it to naught and decree and declare that every curse every word spoken or sent against me or any individual that's under the sound of my voice will return to its sender sevenfold for i declare father that there is a wall of fire around us and the glory in the midst and in jesus name i make a demand on warring angels and ministering spirits to return vengeance to those that have spoke vengeance to those that have fought and caused us to try to bring us into some to subject us to fear and anxiety i decree in jesus name that god according to your word you will pay recompense to our enemies so we decree it now in jesus name amen so in hebrews chapter 11 excuse me hebrews chapter 5. thank you glory to god start in verse 5 and go forward so christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest but he that said unto him you are my son today have i begotten you and he said also in another place you are a priest forever after the order of melchizedek who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death and was heard and that he feared and though he were a son yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered and being made perfect or mature he became the author of eternal salvation unto all of those that obey him so god so called of god a high priest after the order of melchizedek verse 11. and i'm not going to get into the order of the priesthood tonight but verse 11 is my target but i wanted you to see that there are things in the scriptures that you as believers we need to get understanding of the bible tells us that wisdom is the principle thing and with all of our getting get understanding the unfortunate truth is is so many people really do not know their bibles some people are familiar with bible stories but they don't know the word and as we move into this one of the things that we're going to recognize is is that there are things coming in the earth in and around your city your nation that the bible has prophesied would come and the bible being written in the old testament over 2 000 years ago finally penned and the new testament over 50 1700 years ago finally penned and the reality is is this word will be fulfilled every jot and every tittle not one word will go unfulfilled if that's the case do you not believe or recognize how important it is for you to understand what's in it if god has given you a road map and you don't look at it it's not god's fault if you get lost along the way don't get mad at me praise the lord if god gave you a roadmap he gave you prophetic insight he gave you understanding he gave you his word he has revealed his word to you or he has given you his word so he can reveal his word to you but if you do not spend time in searching out the scriptures it's not god's fault if you get lost in the last days pastor that's kind of mean i thought god was just going to shine light on my ways and and things were just going to happen and and if it's god's will then god's going to perfect it and just do it for me people that's part of the problem you perceive that to be true but that's not true the bible is very clear it is the glory of god to conceal but the honor of kings to find out the secret things belong unto the lord but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children these are principles that i've been espousing for quite some time now but i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm receiving this alarming understanding in my spirit that so many people in the body of christ and i'm not speaking specifically of you but so many people in the body of christ are completely ignorant of what's coming what's about to happen and what their part is in the days ahead much less are they ignorant of spiritual warfare and applications of faith and understanding the ways of god and so i say that to say we have a long way to go we have a lot to learn so verse 11 paul says or the writer of hebrews there are many things that i need to say and that are hard to be uttered and yet you're still though of hearing verse 12 for when the time had come that you ought that you ought to be teachers you still have need that somebody teach you again those things which are the first principles of the oracles of god now people this what i'm speaking right now is a correction to us as believers it's not a rebuke it's not anger it's not resentment it's not rejection it's correction the lord spoke to me many years ago and he said philip you need to understand one of the ways of my spirit is rebuke very rarely brings correction but correction will always bring a rebuke say it again rebuke very rarely brings correction why because if you get rebuked you get offended but if you get corrected it may settle on you like a rebuke like oh crap i gotta do something like oh well i guess i better change my priorities maybe i ought to maybe pay a little bit more attention maybe just maybe i ought to give a little bit more time to these things as i was driving to church earlier tonight the scripture just rose up over and over and over and over and over and over in my spirit what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul what does it profit a man to give his entire life pursuing wealth and riches and building empires and yet at the end of that life he has lost his own soul and so for those of us that are here we recognize people god is not against you increasing and building and establishing and becoming extremely wealthy in the earth but god is more important about your soul he said do not fear him who can kill the body but rather fill it fear him who can cast your soul into hell right god's not against you increasing and developing and becoming matter of fact part of the covenant of abraham is to make people wealthy it's part of god's covenant for mankind so don't think that god doesn't want you wealthy or that god doesn't want you living in a place but that cannot be the focus that needs to be the byproduct because you are a seeker of the kingdom of god first and all of these other things are added unto you because you've determined that i'm going to seek first the kingdom of god matthew 6 33 and everything else will be added unto you for the time has come that you ought to be teachers yet you need someone teach you again those things which are the first principles the principle things of the oracles of god you have become such as have need of meat milk and not meat you need somebody to teach you again the foundations of faith baptisms resurrection of the dead the things that he goes on to list in hebrews chapter 6. but the thing that i wanted to bring to your attention tonight is is is that as i lay a foundation tonight where we're going i am going to begin to crack open some prophetic this is that that we are advancing into in this very hour i'm probably not going to get too far tonight into those because i need to lay this first foundation if you'll receive this first foundation maybe just maybe we'll be able to hear some of the things that are coming because in the earth as we continue to advance the first thing that we need to understand is is is god is not slack concerning his promise ii peter chapter 3 verses 6 7-8 god is not slack concerning his promises some men count slackness right for you know well that the day of the lord comes as a thief in the night god is coming but there are those in the last days that will mock and scoff and say where is the promise of his coming for these things will continue as they have for hundreds even thousands of years god says so therefore do not be ignorant verse 8 of this one thing i've been teaching you about it i've been laying a foundation for it that you realize that if you will at least pick up that one piece to the puzzle you're going to have a centerpiece where a lot of things are going to begin to start fitting when you understand the times and the seasons as god has initiated them then maybe just maybe just then will you begin to recognize that what god is wanting to do in your day and in your hour is the magnificent work but it's only going to come through those who walk in faith it's not going to happen automatically so as we push into this go with me to john chapter 12. john chapter 12 praise the lord hallelujah john chapter 12. i know you're all already there verse 30. jesus answered and said faith comes this voice did not come unto you because of me but the voice you heard came for your sakes why because now is the judgment of this world now shall the prince of this world be cast out and i if i be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me and this he said signifying what death he would die and the people answered him and said we have heard out of the law that christ abides forever how do you now say the son of man must be lifted up who is this son of man jesus then said unto them jesus then said unto them yet a little while is the light with you walk while you have the light lest the darkness come upon you for he that walks in darkness does not know where he goes while you have the light believe in the light that you might be the children of light and these things that jesus uh spoke speak unto them and then departed and hid himself from them now let's talk about this for just a minute as i go into what i want to lay as a foundation jesus here has begun to signify and tell them that he must be lifted up he's going to be crucified the word lifted up is crucified to be put upon the pole to pay the penalty of a of a sinner in the earth and they looked at him and said we don't understand why this is happening what is going on here and so jesus said listen i told you jesus answered and said the voice that you heard did not come because of me but for your sake for the judgment of the world has now come and now shall the prince of the world be cast out cast out of what cast out of what how many know that the prince of the world still exists still rules from heavenly places from the second heaven ephesians chapter 2 tells you that the prince of the power of the air still is operating and influencing the children or the people who walk in disobedience all right don't don't make me preach now but the key there is is is that the prince of the power of the air is the one who influences people to disobey the word but here's the thing the prince of the power was there what was jesus talking about when he said that i must be lifted up for now is the judgment of the world come and the prince shall be cast out and the question is cast out of what many people believe and i'm going to explain something to you so we can move forward in recognizing spiritual warfare and the understanding of the word a lot of people have taught erroneously but they've taught it and they've taught it throughout the years that satan was cast out of heaven in the garden of eden he wasn't satan was not cast out of heaven until jesus rose from the dead and sprinkled his own blood to cleanse the heavens lucifer still had access to god under the old covenant he was the anointed cherub that covers and his job was to execute the legal requirements of the law he was the prosecutor according to the law in the old testament and so when when adam sinned death came well people you see in the old testament over and over and over you remember when when god has a conversation with satan about job you see where joshua is standing and satan is there trying to accuse him under the old testament satan had access to accuse mankind before god based on the law but jesus said oh wait a minute if i be lifted up this voice did not come for my sake it came for your sake why because now is the judgment of the world this dialogue this conversation that jesus was having here in john chapter 12 is one of the last conversations he had publicly before he went into private with his disciples and sat down at the last supper and began to teach them before his crucifixion why is this important because jesus is now showing you the things that are about to happen and he's saying now at this moment the judgment of the world has come well people what you realize is this that the judgment of the world was jesus taking the penalty of the sins of the world upon himself so that you and i could be made free and live accordingly so the judgment of the world was jesus taking your judgment and then going to hell in your place and rising again but when he did he takes the keys to death and hell and rises and at that point says to you and me where i am there you may be also john 17 the last prayer that he prayed right remember i just told you the last public dialogue john chapter 12 was here from john chapter 13 is where he enters into only private dialogue with his disciples and everything else from that point forward is the last supper the teachings to his disciples the understanding of the things to come the things that are going to happen and then the high priestly prayer john 13 14 15 16 and 17 the high priestly prayer are all private dialogue to disciples it would behoove you to spend a little bit of time in some private dialogue with the master about the things that he's prepared for you it would do you well to spend a little bit of time in john chapter 14 15 16 and 17 and don't wait till you go to a funeral to hear that in my father's house are many mansions and recognize that the god whom you serve has gone to prepare a place for you don't forget the god that you serve has ordered you and said if you abide in me then i will abide in you and when my words abide in you you will bear fruit and your fruit will remain but it's only through abiding don't forget that these are the things that he spoke why is this important because as we enter into this hour it's going to be very important for you to understand who you are and where you should be getting your information i had somebody reach out to me today via social media said pastor you know i'm i'm i'm i'm i'm troubled right now with all that's going on in the world and can you suggest a good news outlet because i can't i can't trust the news it's old news but it's good news and it's news that will give you an understanding and instruction of the times and the seasons that you're living in people if you are not in the book then it will be impossible for you to see those things that god is doing in our generation and if all you're doing is looking for a source to get a report from the world system i'm telling you be careful be careful isaiah 53 says whose report will you believe or a roman says whose report will you believe isaiah 53 and 1 says well hath or or the scriptures says well as isaiah prophesied of you that you will not believe the report even though it were told you well people i'm here to tell you and i'm about to give you some reports and some of them will be alarming some of them will be things that you go oh snap he'll go okay if that's true and it is then what should i do how should i prepare what should i be doing physically spiritually and emotionally don't forget that jesus said those who endure unto the end signifying that there will be some endurance required nobody runs a marathon the first day they go out to jog a mile 26 miles is a lot further than one praise the lord it takes endurance and so again this is an understanding and preparation for us as believers because people god loves us so much that he gave it to us already spoken decreed all right so go with me then to numbers chapter 13. numbers chapter 13. i could spend more time in john chapter 12 where he says walk in the light not in the darkness for those who walk in the darkness do not know where they're going well people that's very clear today you run into people all the time i you know i've got experiences and and they're beginning to pile up because it's astounding how blind the world is the blind leaders of the blind heading headlong in mass to the edge of a cliff and they don't see it and they're they're about to tumble off into eternity and there's no one there to stop them numbers chapter 13. let's start in verse 1. the lord spoke to moses and said thank you lord send out men that they might explore or search out the land of canaan the land that i am giving to the israelites to the children of israel search it out of every tribe of their fathers shall you send the man every one a ruler among them send one leader from each of the twelve ancestral tribes is what one translation says so you may already know that we're going into something and this is where god speaks to moses and says okay moses there is now a time for possession that i have ordered there is a time that i have said the israelites will possess well there is a time that god has said and the saints will possess the kingdom so we're going to draw a parallel all right because we realize and understand that the patterns in the word of god are unbreakable if the pattern's right the glory will fall if we understand the pattern then we can see what it is that god is speaking to us so the time for the israelites had come to cross over and possess the land in the same time daniel prophesied in the last days daniel 7 22 that the time had come for the saints to possess the kingdom so when the time comes there is a decree from heaven that says send out emissaries to search now why is it that god would send out the spies into the land the emissaries why would he send out a leader from each of the 12 ancestral tribes why would god send the people to go and look at see what it is that god had given well because you realize at first everybody say it first at first 12 men are no threat to a nation at first a remnant is no threat at first a small number does not pose an alarm to alien nations to those that are possessing the land that god has said i've given to you at first a small company of men is not going to cause an alarm to go off as they go into the place as god has said and i am sending you to possess the kingdom but go in and search it out go in and look why gather intel see who's there i want you to see it i want you to know it i want you to recognize what it is that i'm giving you well people prophetically as believers these are the things that begin to happen to us as we pray as we seek god and god begins to speak by revelation and then we realize that that sons and daughters of god just bit so that you know you are not in pennsylvania on accident there is an absolute divine purpose for you living in this state at this time for this reason i've said this many times i know many of you have tried to escape pennsylvania i've tried to escape many times right i've been around the world there's a lot of places that are beautiful pennsylvania is a beautiful state i'm not knocking pennsylvania it really is an absolute beautiful state but you know when you've been around the world and and you've been in a few places and you know you get the island rhythms going and the sun in the winter and yeah praise the lord fresh seafood because they know fresh seafood in central pennsylvania praise the lord you know amen forget the lord forgive me lusting after the leaks in the garland not going back but anyhow but why would god send out spies why does he send them out to gather intel to gather information well people unfortunately this has been and should have been the job description of the church but most churches have failed miserably in reporting the intel we've come into the land and instead of coming back and reporting the intel we just made our bed with the enemy we entered into lifestyles of compromise and tolerance we've entered into a place where we've let our guard down and we said they're too big and too strong for us there's nothing we can do let's keep reading so moses verse 3 by the commandment of the lord sent them from the wilderness of baran all of those men who were heads of the children of israel and these were their names and he names them and as you go on down verse 17 so moses sent them out to gather intel to spy out the land of canaan instructions were given unto them to explore to go this way and that way to go southward and also to go up through the negev into the hill country to see the land what it is and find out whether the people who are living there are strong or weak few or many look at it see it and what the land is that they dwell in look at it whether it's good or bad gather in dale begin to determine when you come into the land now when you come into the land that god has given you you're either going to walk by fear and try to hide and skirt around or you're going to go straight for the jugular of the center i'm reminded of as i'm saying this the passage that i think it's in matthew 12 it doesn't matter but he says take no thought for what you're going to eat or what you're going to drink or what you're going to wear for your father knows what you have need of before you ask him consider the ravens of the field consider consider the ravens how they neither sown or reap right nor do they have storehouses or barns consider the lilies of the field they neither toil nor spin but solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like under one of these and i've given this illustration over and over and over but it's the same illustration here consider the land look at it okay on my left hand is a beautiful lily on my right hand is a pile of gold you can have either one you just have to possess it which one are you going to go for well why i mean it is a beautiful flower i mean it's a lily because you understand value you understand the promise you understand the ability to produce you understand what exists within the systems of commerce etc so you're going to go for the pile of gold well exactly what he said go into the land spy it out see what the people are like see whether it's good or bad see look at the cities whether they're living in tents or in in open camps or in strongholds look at the land see whether or not the soil is fertile right or if there are many trees now if you're a farmer you're going to go and find the field that doesn't have a lot of rocks in it you're not going to go try to plant on a mountainside look at the field i know that i'm being a little bit redundant here but i'm trying to get you to understand that one of the things that you need to realize is is that this is an intel gathering time for you because there are things that you must possess in the days ahead and it's up to you to determine what you will possess it's not up to god hallelujah got quiet in here right be of good courage verse 20 part b and bring back the fruit of the lamb for it was time for the first ripe grapes or the season for harvesting the first grapes so when they went up and they searched the land from the wilderness of zen to rihab as men come from amon and as they ascended by the south and came unto iran where ahiman and sheshai and tamai and the children of anat were for hebron had been seven years before zone in egypt in other words this was an ancient city well established this area hebron had been built seven years before zone in egypt zone in egypt was one of the oldest cities to exist after the babylonian kingdom fell after god spread the nations in genesis chapter 9. all right so they came unto the book of eshkol and there when they did which eshkol means the place of the cluster of grapes they cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes so large that it took two men to carry the cluster of grapes on a pole between them they also brought back samples of pomegranates and figs now anybody ever been to israel one of the symbols one of the images of israel to steal today is two men carrying a cluster of grapes why because they possessed the land two men and not twelve and you'll see why so the two men brought the grapes back the place was called the brook ash ball because the cluster of grapes which the children of israel cut down from there and they returned from searching the land after 40 days when they went they came to moses and to aaron and to all the congregation of the children of israel unto the wilderness of quranic to kadesh and brought back word unto them and to all the congregation and they showed them of the fruit of the land and they told them and said we came unto the land where you sent us and surely it flows with milk and honey and this is the fruit of it so at this point everything sounds pretty good at this point it looks pretty good at this point they came back and they said hey how was it oh check this out look at this cluster of grapes and man i'm telling you the land is fertile it produces the crops are there everything that moses said god said to him is there it is a land that flows with milk and honey so at that particular point the children the people the israelites are like all right this is good however however hear me well oh israelites the promises are yes and amen everything but oh the people who are there are too strong those that dwell in the land and the cities for the cities were walled cities they were great and large we saw the children of anarch there there were giants the amalekites also dwell in the land of the south and and the high tides and the jebusites and the amorites are dwelling in the mountains and the canaanites are dwelling by the sea and by the coast of jordan the land is overrun with wickedness but caleb stealed the people why because he heard and saw quickly that the people went from faith to fear just like that it's a land that flows with milk and honey but well people in this hour that we're living in planet earth you are going to have to determine discern and choose which report you will believe you're going to have to make up your mind now that i'm going to believe god and i don't care what they say and i don't care if the they sayers are a majority the voice of god is the majority what god said is what we must believe and what we must stand on if we do not believe god and develop our faith and make our stand then people we have already fallen to the powers of darkness too many people are waiting for god to do it for them instead of them realizing no god's waiting for you to believe the right report and when you hear that report then begin to do something with the report that you have heard i apologize for the fact that many ministries and churches have so ill-prepared the body of christ specifically in the united states of america to walk in faith i can only imagine what god must see when he looks at the church in america a nation that has been given liberty and freedom and the ability to worship god and have his word and yet they cherry pick the word of god to hear nice messages about a nice god last night i went to an event and was challenged about not wearing a mask and the individual i was speaking to happened to be in law enforcement and i told him i said look i said number one i do literally have a medical exemption but i don't have to present that to you because you have no right to ask number two i'm a citizen of the united states of america and the constitution of the united states of america gives me a freedom for religion and my religious right tells me if i wear a mask it condemns my conscience so you cannot even question you can't make me well this and i said sir i said i'll put this mask on just to appease you but i'm gonna pray for you i'm gonna pray that you're tormented day and night i'm gonna pray that god will not let you rest i'm going to pray that you will not have peace in your life jesus wouldn't pray like that i said you don't know your bible do you i told him that i did i said you obviously you don't know your bible why because he probably goes excuse me to some weak-willed milly mouth left-footed pansy catholic church or methodist church or some other church where they're teaching that jesus wants you to be nice exactly jesus is not mr rogers it's a beautiful day in the kingdom heard of kingdom day in the beauty one would you be mine won't you be don't get me started but people i was going there sunday morning and i'll go back there this sunday morning but remember please remember that just before jesus went to pay the penalty the price that we talked about in john chapter 12 before that happened the story is found in luke chapter 19 in that same time he's entering into he's heading now into jerusalem to have the last supper with his disciples he stops on the hillside of the mount of olives overlooking the city of jerusalem and as he looks down he begins to weep and he cries out over jerusalem and said how long how long how long had god desired to gather you under his wings like a hen gathers there's chicks but you've missed the day of your visitation well people jesus didn't stop and turn around and go we got to give him one more chance no time for judgment came and so what does he do what's the first thing jesus did when he entered into the city he descends into the city after weeping over it and saying you've missed the time of your visitation goes directly into the temple and overthrows the chain money changers tables could it be that the last act that jesus did before he went to the cross is the last act that will happen on planet earth he's about to enter some synagogues some churches some places that have resisted and rejected him that have been preaching some kind of weak milli mouth gospel and not raising up people to stand in faith and he's going to throw over their changes their tables and begin to clean them out and call them back my house shall be called the house of prayer you've made it again of thieves and robbers and he'll rebuke them correct them bring his instruction to them but see i again i want you to see the pictures so here what happened caleb stealed the people before moses and said rock kazakh ahmatz in other words stop listening to the report of the world stop listening to that stuff calm down and listen let us go up at once for we are well able to possess this land we are well able to overcome it or we could just go back to egypt we could journey back another 40 years or we could wander in the wilderness a little longer until some of you get enough gumption hoops no let us go up at once well people the time is coming where decisions will have to be made and so the issue is now what decisions will you make what is it that you're telling yourself are you telling yourself kumbayama lord or you're telling yourself that everything is going to go back to normal after some time and we're going to be able to just kind of float down the sea of of peaceful uh you know what's the willy wonka i don't know what's that i don't know which one it was praise the lord i don't know oompa loompas and you know willy wonka's chocolate factory and everything's gonna be wonderful people you're not going backwards i got news for you there is no going backwards i got news for you you were not created to go backwards i got news for you you cannot live looking over your shoulder the only thing you can do is look forward and begin to see the things that god has determined and declared for you and for your generation and if you will get those things in your eyes if you'll get god's report in front of you maybe just maybe you'll begin to develop faith to possess the land that god has called you to possess caleb stealed the people and said let us go up at once for we are well able to overcome it and possess it however the men that went up with him said we're not able to go for the people are stronger than we are and they brought an evil report spreading this bad report about the land among the israelites saying the land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there and all the people we saw were giants verse 13 33 for there we saw the giants the son of anak which come of the giants and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers now i don't have to go any further than that most of you have heard this message preached before but people the number one thing that you need to know about yourself is it does not matter how big the system is it doesn't matter how complex the system is it doesn't matter how big the people are or the loudness of the roar or the voice that they spread if you do not recognize and understand that jesus said it in john chapter 12 that now is the prince of this world judged and because he has been cast out of heaven and you have by the spirit been raised up seated together with jesus in heavenly places and you have power over that turkey if you don't recognize that and see that then you will still live in fear but if you'll realize you're not a grasshopper unless you see yourself as a grasshopper but if you begin to see yourself as the son of god as a daughter of god as a child of god you begin to see yourself as somebody that not only god has anointed and favored but he has equipped you to go in and possess the land if you begin to see yourself as an individual that god called in this last day to execute and do great exploits for those who know they're gone shall be strong and do great exploits and don't forget the definition of exploits a kingdom or nation moving against another for the sole purpose of replacing it's time for the body of christ to get on the move we need to start replacing not just talking not just singing our songs but we need to begin to possess and take over well pastor i i almost always taught that the church was supposed to be passive that's your problem well you know we're anabaptists we don't believe in war i'm sorry jesus said blessed are the peacemakers not the peacekeepers if you want to be a peacekeeper you might as well join the the blue helmet united nations and try to keep peace but there's war coming blessed are the peace makers for they shall inherit the kingdom of god people you better get ready spiritually and physically and emotionally well how are you going to get ready through the report of the lord by you just beginning to recognize okay wait a minute and we're going to talk about some of these things in detail on tuesday nights going forward because i feel compelled of god that i need to begin to show you the things that are now and are coming on planet earth why because this is that that was spoken by the prophet jeremiah this is that that was spoken by the prophet isaiah this is that that was spoken by the prophet ezekiel this is that that was spoken by the prophet joel this is that that was spoken by obadiah by zechariah these things are coming on the earth and god is going to fulfill them and people the last day imagery and the last day declarations are not a time of kumbaya they're a time of rock kazakh amongst only be thou strong and very courageous go in and possess the land there a time where you stir yourself up and recognize now i don't know about anybody else in here but thank god that somebody is speaking something to you that's going to awaken you and quicken you that speaking to your purpose and to your destiny because believe it or not the reason in the western church that the church has become effeminate is because there weren't any men to challenge men to the battle to the duel to the fight and so men would go to church and we'd be extremely bored they would sit in church sunday after sun and go is this all there is is this the kingdom of god if this is the kingdom of god i'm bored i would rather chance the perception because that's not real because knowing in themselves in their hearts in their minds and in their spirits people the world is real it's ugly out there it's dog eat dog survival of the fittest addictions all kinds of things that are happening where men are evil and doing everything they can to advance an evil agenda and the church shrinks back and hides and pretends we don't want to see it we just want to come and have a better light show and a better sound system more comfortable chairs so that we can check our church box and pretend god's happy with us i need to close with this but this is what i i have heard or not heard in my spirit but i can only imagine what god must see when he sees the american church the church that should be the most powerful warring spiritual apparatus on planet earth and yet we're the weakest most fragmented sissified group that exists i'm not talking about you i'm talking about the church in general not calling anybody in here i'm calling you up higher i'm calling you to engage i'm calling you to a new time right but we realize it what and no wonder no wonder god has said now has judgment come because people do not think that america is exempt from judgment from the wicked schemes and devices that we have perpetrated and sown and initiated and established throughout the nations of the world america did it and america will pay for it pastor i thought we're going to have revival before both and both and not either or or we're going to have revival but we're also going to go through so be ready that's all i'm saying you know what i'm speaking to you is truth because it bears witness not with your head because your hair goes no i don't want to hear it but your spirit mingles yeah god's not mocked whenever man shows that shall they also reap yeah the the nation that rejec resists and rejects god you know the people who are under evil leaders mourn and languish yeah okay well plagues and calamities come when people turn yeah the heavens okay so you begin to see that god is fulfilling his word my job as a pastor is to say okay sons and daughters of god we have to stir ourselves up we have to take on like caleb another spirit like joshua we have to be those who understand and know the presence of god and maintain the report of the lord so tonight what report what report are you going to believe you can shrink back if you want to but god already said in hebrews 11 my soul has no pleasure in those that draw back you can throw back god won't make you go he won't make you fight he won't make you stir yourself up he won't even challenge you to build your faith i'm challenging you to build your faith god will let you make up your own mind but understand god also will not be mocked whatever a man sows that shall he also reap and like i said and he has no pleasure in those that draw back so it's challenge time people because the enemy has come in like a flood and the rest of that scripture in isaiah 59 says when the enemy comes in like a flood the spirit of god will do what raise up a standard who is the standard you are the church we're the ones that god will raise up as his standard bearers and carriers in the earth he's not looking for somebody else he's looking for those who have an ear to hear and deny to see he's looking for those that will receive his word amen stand your feet praise the lord hallelujah faith for your battle determines will be determined by the report that you receive whose report will you believe faith for your battle will be determined by the report you believe say it with me faith for my battle is determined by the report i believe i will believe the report of the lord amen hallelujah lift your hands towards heaven father tonight thank you that as you have granted and given unto us the spirit of faith lord i thank you that there's not one in here that is weak in faith that is small in faith but every person that is here lord you have given unto them the spirit of faith whereby they believe your word your report and therefore they will speak it holy spirit i thank you that in this hour as you continue to speak unto us corporately and individually in our night seasons by dreams and visions in the daytime father by the hearing of our ear that lord every person that is here that they will increase more and more in your knowledge in your will in understanding and that father they will be known as those who do know their god and so father i give you praise and thank you for it i thank you that no weapon formed against them will prosper i thank you that they will not fear but they will walk in great faith for this is the victory that overcomes the world even our faith so father i give you praise and thank you for in jesus mighty name and everybody said amen hallelujah come on and give him praise hallelujah so don't forget to check your email or use the text system you can just text is there a word that they text for the bash so if you if you go to text to bash volunteer if you text that it'll come up okay praise the lord so if you

needs prayer i'll be happy to pray for you love you bless you thank you um if you want to give you know what to do happy to receive and continue to believe with me i announced it on sunday morning i'm not going to teach on shemitah but shemitah is a seven year pattern that's in the word of god where in israel they let the land rest on the seventh year it's also the time of debt cancellation and so god just spoke to me and said phil why don't you believe for that cancellation this year so i said all right i'll do it and so i'm believing god that that the mortgage of legacy faith church will be paid off in its entirety in this entire year so believe with me trust god and as god instructs or gives you understanding on how you can assist and praise god obey him and that's all i'll say amen love you bless you
