[Applause] there is a freedom in this house this morning and it's intended for the people of god you know as we were praising and worshiping when we began to shout on the name of jesus did anyone else just feel like a lifting in your spirit did anyone else feel like all the weights and the things that you've been dealing with all throughout the week all throughout the month like it just dissolves away it doesn't matter anymore that's the god that we know and serving his name is jesus and he is alive and well today if i could read up a few verses of scripture in your hearing it would come from colossians chapter 2 and it would start at verse 5 and this was paul speaking to the people of colossae and he said starting in verse 5 for though i am absent in the flesh yet i am with you in the spirit rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in christ as you therefore have received christ jesus the lord so walk in him and so that is referring to receiving him in all of his glory and all of his righteousness in all of his holiness in all of his love and all of his unchanging ways just as you received him now walk in him rooted and built up in him and established in the faith the faith there is but one as you have been taught abounding in it with thanksgiving beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty the seed according to the tradition of men according to the basic principles of the world and not according to christ for in him dwells all the fullness of the godhead bodily and you are complete in him who is the head of all principality and power and so i'm here to remind you this morning if you came in seeking peace it's in jesus if you came in seeking restoration it's in jesus if you came in needing to be reminded of the way to go i'm telling you today it's in jesus there is salvation in no other name there is deliverance in no other name and jesus is everything you have need of this morning so it doesn't matter whether this is the first time you've ever heard the name spoken or maybe you veered off of your way or maybe you just find yourself in a weary state just get back in jesus and in him is everything you need and so as we continue on in the service today can we pray and i want to encourage each and every mouth to be lifted up each and every hand to be lifted up and surrender unto jesus because just as you came here for him he is here for you to meet your very present need to strengthen you to speak to his people to encourage you and lift you and so let us go before the lord this morning heavenly father we thank you jesus for another time that you have given us together and lord god we do not gather in vain according to tradition but we are here because you are a living god a god of power and a god of change and transformation and we present ourselves unto you as a living sacrifice lord god desiring that you would be well pleased lord god in what we bring to you and i pray god that you would strengthen every mind in this congregation today i pray lord god that you would establish every household on the truth of your word i pray lord jesus that the love of the saints would be restored and renewed in the house today i pray lord god for those who are seeking the gift of the holy ghost for it is a promise that you have given unto your people and so we declare that they shall be filled in the name of jesus we pray god for everyone who has a need of healing in their life for we know that if we come to you with faith and believing and not doubting that you are still the god of the miraculous and lord god so we declare that there are miracles and healings and and deliverance in the house today and all these things we declare in jesus precious name amen so as we continue in the praise and worship please give a honor and reverence unto the lord jesus amen you can be seated [Music] standing here not knowing how we'll get through this test [Music] but holding on

[Applause] [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] about scared hallelujah devil out of this place today for where the spirit of the lord [Music] wow oh it is it is on fire today god bless you you may be seated for just a moment of time get some of this business out of the way i know that i'm not the only one who appreciates our youth and our youth leaders go ahead i see them working non-stop doing great things for uh our youth in in this church and we have all been blessed as they have literally worked tirelessly to raise the monies to fund their ministry and i can't speak for you but i think on sundays and wednesdays we get the best of the trade we get to take something delicious home and they are able to buy shoes for youth that need them buy suits and dresses for those who are in need they fund trips and camps purchase meals and groceries and even transportation to youth events because of your giving so we are being blessed and we are being a blessing however i got good news because today it gets even better today they have declared it to be give back sunday from our youth department and they are giving away 150 free meals to the first cut don't leave right now but it's first come first serve it's just simply their way to say thank you for your continued and committed support of their fundraising efforts each week by buying the food that they sell and i will say on a side note some have even asked if they can still make a donation to them today even though this is free and i understand that they are pretty smart and they will not turn away a donation all right so if you want to do what i'm going to do i'm going to go ahead and make a donation just to help them out because i believe in our youth leaders and i believe in what they are doing for the youth of our church amen yesterday was a day that will never be forgotten by those who lived through it no doubt many emotions were felt on that day and if you were alive then you're like me and you remember the exact spot that you were when you found out the attack upon our country in a world that pushes projects and pummels us with hate on a daily basis the church must project the spirit of christ and be the light in darkness i think on the screen they're going to put a picture this is a bible section that was found burned into steel in the aftermath of september the 11th it's open to matthew chapter 5 verses 43 43 40 i'm not going to read all of that but i do want to read a couple of them you have heard that it hath been said thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy but i say unto you love your enemies i know we don't like that verse bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you that leaves no room for hate that ye may be children of your father which is in heaven for he maketh his son to rise on the evil and on the good and he sendeth reign on the just and on the unjust take time later to read the remaining scriptures but folks let's be honest emotions are real but our role as the church must supersede our hurts as american citizens that's what the bible says so i want us to focus and pray throughout this week as we reflect on the horror of what happened for god to help us to love like him so the world can experience him through us amen as we begin getting ready to declare i want to remind us quickly just two points backed up by the word of god that you might find interesting number one god is not obligated to give to us until we first give to him luke 6 and 38 says give then it will be given to you right good measure pressed down shaking together running over men are going to bless you so in the same measure that we give god can take it and give back to us and bless us see we want god to bless us so that we can give but god says give so i can bless you it doesn't take faith to give out of our abundance but it does take faith to give out of our want we give out of obedience to god's word and watch him bless out of obedience to his word he is bound to his word and the fact is god's hands are way bigger than our hands so we come out ahead the second point quickly is god spares those who give i'm not going to take time to read the passage but if you will this week sometime read first kings chapter 17 specifically verses 10 through 16 that's a very powerful story in a world of questions and uncertainty the widow gave by faith in response to the spoken word and not only did she have enough for her and her son on that day but she was taken care of from that point on she would not have been able to live if she had not been obedient to the word of god would you stand with me i believe it's a fact that if we take care of god's kingdom god will take care of his people trust him in that remember the various ways that you can give venmo cash app church app giving stations at the entrance of the sanctuary um even the giving kiosks that are here in the building um whatever way you need to do it we're gonna make it as convenient as possible because we don't want you to miss your blessing all right don't ever want anybody to walk out here and say i didn't have any way to give i'll stand right down here and i'll receive it from you if you need me to do that all right so we want you to get your blessing but get in your hand what you have purpose to return to the lord and tithing and what you have purpose to give to his kingdom in offering and let's declare together this declaration upon the authority of your word i have given and it shall be given to me pressed down shaken together and running over i am obedient to your word and i bring my ties and offerings today into your storehouse therefore the enemy is rebuked the curse is broken i live under an open heaven and you pour out upon me such a blessing that there is not enough room to receive it we receive jobs and better jobs raises and bonuses sales and commissions benefits and settlements estates and inheritances interest and income rebates and returns checks in the mail gifts and surprises bills paid off debts demolished and royalties received would you lift your hands together my whole family saved and walking with god perfect health and abundance to walk in divine favor and blessings i am blessed going in i am blessed going out all that i do will prosper in jesus name if you believe it put your hands together and give jesus to the lord all right come on [Music] [Music] huh [Music] [Music] [Music] don't be afraid [Music] grace is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Music] and [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] put your hands [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] jesus [Music] jesus [Music]

learn how to celebrate my god did it i want to pray with you right before you're seated heavenly father i just thank you for your word i thank you for your people that you would put grace in my mouth and let the gift of prophecy come that you'd open our hearts and our minds to receive what you have today and confirm all of this in your mighty matchless holy name the name of jesus and everybody said amen to all of our guests thank you for being with us here today there's nothing like the presence of the lord and when we're in his presence there is fullness of joy we welcome you to all of those watching online no matter where you're at whether you're watching now or in the days to come we love you we're praying for you and we pray that something that has happened in this service will touch your heart completely to the members of this congregation thank you for your faithfulness to god would you continue to let god's love show through you to touch everyone that you come in contact with this week actually a week from today evangelist david smith will be with us he's a cajun he's going to come preaching like only he can preach that'll be next sunday at 9 00 and 11 and i it would be a good time for you if you have somebody that you want to bring with you that needs something from god that needs the holy ghost i mean it'd be a good time to bring you next sunday because we all need jesus to be here to be in his presence and then the sunday following sister vani will be with us so i'm going to be preaching and teaching these evangelists are going to come in and preach and teach and confirm and i just believe that our time is short we have to work while it is yet day the mission field is in front of us and we've got to accomplish god's will and god's purpose amen what a perfect song to fit with what i'm getting ready to preach the chains are going to break and when it all when it happens you're going to dance you're going to shout you're going to have the victory somebody say he did it amen grab your bibles and turn with me to the book of mark the fourth chapter and the 35th verse and the same day when the even was come he saith unto them let us pass over unto the other side and when they had sent away the multitude they took him even as he was in the ship and there was also with him other little ships and there arose a great storm of wind and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full and he was in the hinder part of the ship asleep on a pillow and they awake him and say unto him master carest thou not that we perish and he arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea peace be still and the wind ceased and there was a great calm and he said unto them why are you so fearful how is it that you have no faith and they feared exceedingly and said one to another what manner of man is this that even the wind and the seas obey him and i'm preaching this morning on this theme jesus answers prayer jesus answers prayer amen hallelujah hallelujah lord would you add a blessing to the reading the doing the hearing and the doing of your word confirm your word with signs following and may you receive all the praise glory and honor in jesus name we pray amen god bless you you may be seated in his presence leave your bibles open to the fourth chapter of the book of mark i read these verses because they precede what i want to preach to you about beginning in the fifth chapter and the first verse we see a very interesting segment a very interesting portion a very interesting past passage of scripture in it i see three prayers and two prayers i want to give you as a side by side and then i want to end with the third prayer and i believe that it is important that we understand that jesus before he ever got to the man with the unclean spirit he took the disciples through a storm he left the multitude he told them let's get in the boat go to the other side then he went to the hinder part of the ship laid his head on a pillow and fell asleep knowing that they were getting ready to go into a storm and that the storm had the ability to take them out but he was sleeping and they were fearful and they went to him and said master if you read in luke 8 the same account i believe he said master master don't you care that we're p that we perish they were desperate for god's help in the middle of the storm they needed for the master to wake up to see what was going on though he saw everything even before it happened when they called him the bible said that he arose and rebuked the wind the same terminology that we would use as it pertains to spiritual things when an unclean spirit is rebuked there's a challenge a to stripe to to uh strike sharply with the tongue verbally to be rebuked and and jesus rebuked the elements he which created all things rebuked what he created because a storm had come now the bible doesn't say this clearly but i believe that the spiritual that the spirits that were in that region saw that jesus was coming to the man of the gadarenes and i believe the spirits went out before he ever got there and influenced the elements to try to cause the boat to either go down or go back because they did not want to let go not only of the man who was possessed with devils but they did not want to let go of a community of unbelievers so the wind and the waves were influenced spiritually and they went out and jesus knew that it was going to happen he was just asleep and when they got to the place where they could row no more they didn't want to bail anymore and they sure didn't want to go down they humbled themselves enough i don't i don't think they were rookies i think they you know because jesus recruited them out of the fishing business so they already knew how to man a boat i don't think that these were just some novices who rented a boat for a day but these these men were skilled navigators but when a skilled navigator looks worried then you ought to be worried and they they reached the end of what their professional ability to do had uh the capability to do and they went to jesus and said don't you care that we perish he stood up and rebuked the wind and when he did he did the bible said the wind ceased and there was a great calm peace be still that's just what jesus does and maybe you're here today and the wind of controversy is blowing in your personal life maybe maybe it's just you your family's good but in your mind there's there's a war going on but when jesus comes in when he comes in he's the prince of peace and he speaks peace to your mind and he can bring calm to your spirit and we know you've been struggling with anxiety or you know that you've been struggling but when peace when the prince comes in all of the anxiety has to go and peace comes in fact when peace comes you can make proper decisions because the bible says let the peace of god rule your heart and and and perfect peace comes to them who keep their mind stayed on him and after he rebuked the wind he spoke to the disciples and said he said why are you so fearful why are you full of fear he said and how is it that you have no faith i mean you've already been with me and seen my miracles and yet when you get in a storm you don't have faith you don't have faith to speak to the storm you don't have faith that i'm gonna keep you in the storm why is it and they feared exceedingly and said to one another what manner of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey him when i get to the fifth chapter of this passage i i would like to direct your attention to two specific prayers and these prayers catch my attention because in these prayers i see one of them is a prayer prayed by a legion of devils do you know that devils pray we don't like to think about it but but they pray in fact the bible said and paul was clear he said even the devils believe that there's one god and they tremble and so we understand that the devils prayed and with the community of unbelievers that were connected to this man they prayed also verse 1 says and they came over to the other side of the sea into the country of the gadarenes and when he was come out of the ship immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit who had his dwelling among the tombs and no man could bind him no not with chains because he had been by often bound with fetters and chains and the chains had been plucked asunder by him and the fetter is broken in pieces neither could any man tame him and also day always day and night he was in the mountains and the tombs crying and cutting himself with stones i'm reminded of the epidemic that we have here in america of young people cutting themselves to relieve themselves of pain when i cut myself i feel pain but but but they feel pain because of the rush they get after the cut and and the cut brings something in the inside of them that causes them to feel again even the numbness of what life and sin has done in their life and i'm not addressing anything in particular because i don't know anyone that's involved in this area but if you are then i just want to show you that there's a spirit behind that and that's the same spirit that had this man bound and this man would cut himself and he would cut himself and he felt pain the ultimate the ultimate is that there will be one cut too many in order to take your life and to end before god ever has the opportunity to come in and redirect your future and your path and this man cut himself with stones but when he saw jesus afar off he ran and worshiped him and cried with a loud voice and said what have i to do with thee jesus thou son of the most high i adore thee by god that thou torment me not for he said unto him come out of the man thou unclean spirit and he asked him what is thy name and he answered saying my name is legion for we are many a legion was a body of soldiers whose number differed at different times and in the time of augustus caesar it seemed to consist of 6826 men 6 100 foot soldiers 726 horsemen more than 6 000 soldiers a legion was considered to be and when jesus asked this devil or these devils what their name this man what his name was the devils spoke read in the eighth chapter of the book of luke and the other places the devil spoke on behalf of the man and they said that that that my name is legion for we are many there's more than six thousand of us how could six thousand devils be in one man six thousand my brother told me that on two sundays here one sunday somebody told him that he bumped into they said my name is legion and then he said the next sunday somebody completely different and unrelated said their name was legion people who were visiting i don't know if that just causes a little alarm bell to go off in your mind but but legion is not a good thing you know it's not six thousand and the the devil one would like to come in and bind people who jesus intends to be set free he would also like to present himself in a way as in order to cause others who believe in jesus to be fearful and think that somehow they bring some special power or force with them jesus didn't have to get in a wrestling match with him in order for the devils to come out and wrestle them all six thousand he just commanded the unclean spirit to come out of him now i don't know what your theology is but my theology and the church's position is that when you receive the baptism of the holy ghost when you receive the spirit of god inside of you every devil has to go we do not believe that you can have the holy ghost and you can have other spirits inside of you evil in good it does not dwell together we the holy ghost is not going to share your temple with an unclean spirit that's what repented that's what happens when repentance transpires in your life every unclean spirit goes and god takes ownership of your vessel it is not to say that you could that the enemy who has been put out will not come back and try to find an entry or an access in your life if you get the holy ghost but then you leave the door open to sin you were cleansed of it you were washed of it but you go back to doing it you'll open a door and access for him to come back and to take ownership of this temple that is what consecration does that's what dedication does we're not conformed to this world god desires to transform us and to change us into his glorious image but but when the enemy comes you have the ability the authority of jesus to rebuke every spirit you said well i've only been saved a couple of weeks well you've got enough holy ghost in you to rebuke every unclean spirit and to command it to go by the power and authority of the name of jesus i told you before my wife and i were counseling a wonderful sweet couple that we loved so dearly just more than a decade ago maybe more than maybe 15 years ago but we were counseling this beautiful couple who were struggling with things in their life and this one in the marriage had uh an oppressive spirit that had just come against them and caused them to be depressed and they were struggling uh with high highs and low lows and and being young in the ministry i just did we just love and we still just love people but but when they left our home after one particular session that spirit attempted to just settle in on me and if you know me i'm not a person given to being down in the dumps and i'm just a pretty happy uh i try to be at least person now i've fought a lot of things as you all have as well in life as a way of taking you through things but that spirit that spirit attempted to come and i felt so depressed that i had about three days where where i was just i had just a hard time just just getting up off the ground i just go home and lay down and it was just like a blanket that was laying on me until until i one day i called my sister-in-law and god just uses her as a prophetess just to god just speaks to her at appointed times and she said you've been counseling this couple in your home in the spirit that was on that lady in this home has tried to turn its attention on you immediately when it was revealed see some things when it's you can't confront what hasn't been revealed and you get offended at the pastor and you get offended at other people when they reveal things in your life why because you got you had that sin or you had that spirit covered up and you didn't want nobody to expose it but when it's revealed then you can confront it and and when she shared with me it didn't mean i was a bad person it just meant the enemy wanted to silence my voice he did not want this lady to be set free by the power of the holy ghost but when when my sister-in-law said that i knew what was happening and i went home and i declared over my i re i i just said you foul unclean spirit now now you don't have to do this it was symbolic i just got up and opened the door to my front door to the house just to make it easy you just go right on out do you know that spirit broke and i woke up the next day and it was gone why because when the when the spirit is confronted in your life then you is revealed then you have the ability to confront it by the power and authority of the word of god our problem is is that we live with things so long that we think they're normal and just because it's normal for you doesn't mean that it's right you can live with an infirmity so long that you think it's normal you could say and what it is is that we actually embrace and agree with things the enemy said well this is just something i have to go through did god say you had to go through it if if if if this brother so and so from down the road in another town said well brother i think that's just something you have to go through but god didn't say you had to go through it you don't have to agree with it i choose to agree with whatsoever is pure and whatsoever is right and whatsoever is good why because i believe in the delivering power of god i believe some people will get set free here this morning i believe by the power and authority of the name of jesus that there are things that you've lived with too long you've gone with it through it so long that you think it is normal you think everybody's going through this but i rebuke that spirit in the name of jesus and i tell you you're coming out of the tomb you're coming out of the cave satan we're not we're not afraid of you god didn't call us into this city to be afraid of you we rebuke every fowl and unclean spirit that would come against the people of god the people of god are going to live a life of peace and holiness and they're going to be a prosperous people in this city and they will not be bound with chains the other part of that is when god set you free don't act like he hadn't done nothing for you well he set me free yes he set me free you don't look like you've been set free if you were in jail and they came and released you you'd be you'd be a little happy [Applause] you might not know everything in front of you but you'd be happy to be out of where you're at and that's why he put dancing in my feet that's why i could rejoice because i remember what i used to be i'm not everything that i'm going to be but i do remember what i'm not and i thank god not arrogantly but confidently in the delivering power of jesus that he set me free in the name of jesus hallelujah hallelujah give him give him a big praise in the house hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah [Applause] hallelujah lord would you sweep through this place and bring a great deliverance to the mind and the heart hey there are some of you the enemies try to convince you that you got some that something's got a hold of you that you can't get free from the devil is a liar i said the devil is alive he that the son has set free is free indeed my daddy used to teach me and this was his way of interpreting that passage he said he that the son has set free is free sure enough i don't care how you say it but when god set you free you don't have to embrace anything the enemy brings back to you i reject it i refuse it i don't come into agreement with it i choose to believe the word of the lord i choose to believe the word of the lord his word is life his word is light his word brings abundant life and i choose to believe what he said about me what he said about the church what he said about our community i choose to believe the report of the lord next time you get a bad report you're watching the news you're reading the news remember there's more than one report and not every report you're reading is true everybody has an agenda god has an agenda and his agenda is to bring you out of that mess and bring you into light and to bring you into life and to bring you into faith why is your faith so why do you lack faith because you look at the storm instead of believe that god is going to take you through [Applause] hallelujah i feel the holy ghost look at the 10th verse the 10th verse of mark 5 says and he he being they the man through which legion spoke and more than 6 000 devils in a concert spoke on behalf of this man and he besought him that he would not send them away out of the country this man who i believe wanted to be free but the devil spoke for him and besought him the word besought is also translated and used in different places and you'll see it in just a few moments it's the same it's the same greek word that is used for pray and for prayed and so when he besought him the legion actually prayed prayed that he would not send them away out of the country jesus i just beseech you not to send us away out of this country just just let us alone leave us alone and now there was nigh into the mountains a great herd of swine feeding and all the devils besought him they prayed they prayed saying send us into the swine that we may enter into them luke 8 says they didn't want to just be cast into the lake they just wanted they thought to go into the pigs and if they got into pigs then they could from there decide what their next move was them some ferocious pigs if they're full of devils i don't know i've never raised pigs i've seen pigs on youtube and growing up i've been to a farm or two i was actually at a farm where they would wrestle i didn't work at the farm i was just visiting but but my daddy took me there they would wrestle these pigs down and put little clips in their ears and pigs are tough pigs are tough and these devils said you know send us in them pigs and and uh think about that the next time you're having ribs say i wonder if that's one of those pigs that no i'm not i'm not saying nothing about nothing i'm just saying they said send us and forthwith jesus gave them leave he answered their prayer and the unclean spirits went out and entered into the swine and the herd ran down violently down a steep place into the mountain and there were about two thousand and they were choked in the sea the six thousand devils got into two thousand pigs and the pigs ran down and ran into the sea and it choked the pigs you know what else it choked it choked the livelihood of those that watched the pigs because if you lose 6 000 pigs off of your farm that's a lot of money honey i mean that's a lot and i think they were a little angry about the fact that their livelihood had you start messing with people's money and they get funny not in a good way if you mess with their money and when when jesus came in he granted the request of the devils and to just they in a moment destroyed the livelihood of the people who are watching those pigs and and i've never thought about this until this moment right here but the the devil does not care whether he prospers you financially or whether he completely destroys you financially he doesn't care as long as his purpose is fulfilled and if he has to prosper you in order to just get you away from things and away from god and have you trust in money more than him or if he has to get you the place where he takes everything from you so that you're so bitter that you you don't even know if you believe in god anymore he'll he'll do either in order to accomplish his purpose and there are some of you that have struggled on either end of the spectrum i don't even know who you are but but i believe god can heal you from that today and fill you with the precious gift of the holy ghost and he answered the prayer of this legion of devils and a few moments later a second prayer request is made verse 14 and they that fed the swine fled and told it to the city and in the country and they went out to see what it was what it was that was done and they came to jesus and they see him that was possessed with the devil and had the legion sitting and clothed and in his right mind and they were afraid now this makes this is humorous to me because you weren't were you afraid when the man was naked running around were you afraid when the man wouldn't live in a house and he was up running through the mountains and stuff you're out for a hike and there he goes over a ridge you know you weren't afraid when you're out there and he pokes his head out of a tomb there and this man it is not just that he's unclothed but he's full of devils and so he's spewing and these things and and some men tried to get him and and wrap him in chains and bind him so that and the bible says that he had such a strength that he broke the chains that they bound him with i told the nine o'clock service i told them that a few weeks ago i spoke with do you know nathan robbins the prison chaplain uh yes and you went to mississippi and he's over uh the prison ministries uh he's a prison ministries director and i was having dinner with him and a group of pastors and he said he's a pastor i was in one particular prison and i'm just eating my mail i'm not looking for a sensational story and he said i'm although it was pretty sensational when he told it to me he said he said i was in this prison he said and the toughest man in this prison came to us when we were doing baptisms and said i want to be baptized and he up to that point said he didn't even believe in god previously but he decided that he wanted to be baptized the the prison sent extra guards because they said you know we don't know about this because this if this man wants to be baptized maybe there's something up that we you know and they didn't want there to be any situation where the man was trying to to pull something funny so they sent extra guards in and nathan robbins told me he said this man they led him out with chains on his hands and on his feet and he came out to the baptism other prisoners were baptized when it came his turn he got in the water and he they baptized him in the only saving name the name of the lord jesus christ for the remission of sins and they said when the man came out of the water that he stood and raised his hands and the chains broke off of his hands and he began to worship god filled him with the precious gift of the holy ghost and then he told his testimony and and he told nathan robbins he said he said i didn't even know if i believed in god he said but i prayed and i told god that god if you are real when i get baptized i want you to break these chains that are on my wrist and on my feet now you cannot you can choose not to believe it if you don't want to believe it email or call nathan robinson you ask him the story and and i won't even give him a heads up you call him and he'll verify that with you when jesus comes into your life he'll break the chains off of your life you know what that was that was symbolic of what god had in store for that man and today he can break the chains of unbelief he can break the sin the chains of sin and the bondage that comes into your life he can break all of the chains that have held you bound stop believing that you'll never be free stop believing that you'll never be whole but god can change your life in just a moment and today might be your day and the bible said this that when they that had fed the swine fled and told the city they came to jesus and they saw him that was possessed with the devil legion clothed in his right mind that they saw it told and it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil and concerning this wine that they began to pray him that word pray is the same greek word as basalt they begin to pray him to depart out of their coast legion prayed that they wouldn't be cast out and killed let us live a little longer in the swine jesus answered their prayer this man this town full of men came out and maybe men and women i don't know and they saw what jesus did and instead of rejoicing they were afraid and they said you know what jesus it just be better best for you if you just head on headed on down go to another town and do your many mighty works and jesus answered the prayer of both a legion of devils and a community of unbelievers i don't know if that knocks your head in the creek or not or messes your theology up or not makes your socks roll down around your ankles and come back up again i don't really care but the one thing i know it is it's a divine interruption and god is still doing divine interruptions in the in the affairs in the business of men and you might feel like you're trapped in a place that you can't get out of but i feel like god wants to divinely interrupt somebody's life today and show up and interfere with what is going on in their life that he'll answer your prayers and if you decide no jesus i'm a little afraid and i don't want you i just pray that you go away he he'll answer your prayer if you just pray that that that jesus i can't make it anymore without you and i need you to come in he will also answer your prayer this is the same jesus that stopped funeral possessions he interfered with death i've i've i've preached dozens of funerals i i don't even know i've preached them in this building and i've preached them in funeral homes and other services but one day i had a a revelation i was just getting ready and i realized that jesus didn't that g and i'm not the first to get it but jesus never preached a funeral he he always interrupted funerals now we don't mind celebrating your life but jesus just had he just had a way of interrupting funerals and interfering with death and dead people got back up again because that's just the jesus i serve he he intercepted a lame man at bethesda and he interfered with his sickness and he can interfere with your sickness unless you decide to just hold on to it and you don't but if you say i ain't want this no more and you get to pray in the name of jesus i believe that the process for healing can start in your life we have to believe what the word says that by his stripes we were healed and we know that whether it's an immediate healing or a process of time god is a healer and he still heals his people and we must have faith that he will do it he's interfered with our calendar he divided bc from a.d simply by showing up in the earth he interferes with sleepless nights steps in and says be not afraid it is i he interferes with small vision and says it's the father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom he interferes with loneliness and says i'll never leave you nor forsake you this is his church he shed his blood to purchase it we are the sheep of his pasture that gives him the right to interfere with the business of our lives and he would interfere so much more he would work in our homes and our hearts he would change our minds and our attitudes he would give us new and fresh direction but we often resist the change that he wants to bring in our life if you're happy staying where you're at and you you just say this is this is all that i want from him and you have no faith to believe for anything else then you'll stay stuck where you're at but when you decide god i need a change i need something to change in me start in me you're trying to change everybody around you so that everybody around you and that change will be better for you but you just can't see you because when you change then everything around you will change in you bishop tom foster told me this he said he said we stayed plateaued for a long time as a church and me he said but when i changed as a leader he said things changed in the church and began to grow what would happen if all of us who lead ministries and all of us who lead families decided i'm not going to just try to change everyone else but i'm going to change i'm going to be open to god interfering with my schedule and interfering with my business and interfering with my plans then he would work in our homes and our hearts and our minds and give us fresh direction we find in this story a crowd of people amazed at how jesus could deliver the demoniac the man that lived in the tombs and lived in darkness and cut himself and how jesus interfered with all of that and just a word everything was broken and he was delivered but when these people received the news and they came out to see they also prayed like the devils pray no you depart from us you move and do what you do somewhere else for they saw it verse 16 how it befell him and prayed that he would depart out of their coast we like the idea that jesus is preparing a place for us most of us desire to go to heaven i have met a few people a few people who have said well you know i know i'm not headed i know i'm headed to the bad place and they jokingly trying to make people laugh said you know when i get to hell i'm going to be drinking with my buddies it's going to be a party you know and like they think that these little parties they've been having that they're gonna carry them on into hell and they're gonna still have some budweiser and all of that maybe it ain't gonna be like you think it's gonna be but but the bible actually said the fool the fool has said in his heart there is no god you don't even have to vocalize it but if you if you just if you think that you're intellect and you think that somehow you're so smart that i'm not sure if there's a god you fool that's what the bible said you've said in your heart that there's no god the good news is that he'll interfere with your foolishness and what he'll do is he'll reveal himself to you and you could either say depart from me or you can say hey jesus come in and change me deliver me set me free and he will revolutionize you and he will change you for for god wants to interfere with uh with the affairs of our life and we get uncomfortable with that i ask you when is the last time god's interfered with your schedule when is the last time he's interfered with your plans and with your business for when god interferes he pricks your conscience about sinful habits it's not his will for you to continue in sin i know jesus loves you but he loves you too much to leave you right where you're at he loves you enough to reach for you his arm is not short that he cannot save when god interferes that he he comes in and reminds you that you need to forgive somebody that's hurt you and we've all been hurt you're not the only one no you're not the only one that's been hurt we've all been hurt and if you hadn't been hurt then live a little longer because your hurt is on the way because life is filled with hurts but how you handle the hurt it determines whether you grow bitter and you let sin stay or whether you say i can't let this thing kill me and destroy me i've had to pray that prayer as your pastor i can't let this conflict cause me to be bitter i can't i can't let this problem cause me to be bitter with with god or bitter with someone else i got to get free from it i got i got i can't focus on it i got to stay focused on the mission but when god interferes with that he pricks your conscience he speaks to you and he reminds you that you need to forgive and often will even remind you of promises that you made to him that you haven't kept thank you lord for healing me now go away thank you lord for intervening and providing so i could pay my mortgage but but but that's enough that's enough just go away thank thank you lord that you just gave me friends and you restored my marriage for a moment go away go away we don't want you to get too involved in our business and we miss the blessing of what god wants to do because when god interferes with our life he's not interfering to destroy he's a reconciler he comes in and brings healing into our situation they prayed him to leave them alone and guess what he left he left them alone he answered their prayer if you do not wish god to intervene in your life then you can walk out these doors i'll never forget the time before i came out here on a wednesday night that somebody just tore into me in the reception office and just just just read me the riot act and i don't know you and i don't have everything and i stopped to listen and it probably wasn't as christ-like as i should be but i had to teach in a few moments i said you know that door that you walked in i said we never lock it i don't know if you get my drift we don't lock it and we don't lock the doors if you decide no i don't receive what the pastor's saying come on kids let's go that's fine but god just wanted to intervene in your situation but you just said no lord i'm okay like i am just leave me alone for a moment devils prayed and god answered their prayer an unbelieving community prayed and god answered their prayer if devils and an unbelieving community can pray and god could answer their prayer i close with this why is the church not praying about everything that they should in their life because if they can pray and god can answer our prayers then the church can pray and god can interfere in our situation james said you have not because you ask not and you ask and receive not because you ask amiss that you may consume it with your lust we're his children he said to solomon if i shut up heaven that there be no rain or if i command locusts to devour the land or send pestilence among my people if if my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then will i hear from heaven and forgive their sin and will heal their land now my eyes will be opened and my ears attempt unto the prayer that is made in this place bartimaeus why are you crying out you know your role is to keep begging by the roadside i could hear barn the mayor saying as it were i'm asking god to interfere in my blindness and give me sight again the woman with the issue of blood why you pressing on us i told you about the one time as a kid that other young people took me to a haunted house i ain't going to no haunted house i don't need all of that but as a kid you just think well it's halloween time and go and and in this place as we're just you went through for a few minutes and then out somebody i didn't know they just grabbed the back of my leather jacket it's up north and and as a teenager if somebody in a haunted house grabs the back of your jacket i said man let go of me and i got up and got out of there woman let go of me i'm trying to listen to jesus teach stop distracting me get up off me that's what people say get up off me and the lady didn't care she just sometimes you got to press past people you got to push past voices people even religious people sometimes feel so good about their sin about their life and the fact that they go to church but they don't allow jesus to ever change them and the lady just pushed past all of them and when she touched the hymn of his garment he said who touched me because i feel virtue virtue's going out of me that lady was forever changed and what doctors couldn't do in 12 years which he ran out of money and couldn't even pay for jesus did in just a moment because he interfered with her sickness and changed her life forever are you seeking god's will pray and ask god give him permission to interfere with your situation i was quickly reminded that we often stop in our prayers in james 4 about you ask and you don't receive it because you ask amiss but keep reading because verse 6 says and he giveth more grace wherefore he said god resisteth the proud but give grace to the humble submit yourself therefore to god resist the devil and he will flee from you we have taught you over and over again a lot of people resisting the devil trying to get him to run but if you don't submit to god you're going to live your life get up off it you're going to live your whole life trying to get the devil up off you but you never be in a spiritual position for god to have authority over your life submit yourself to god that's the first thing god i submit not my will thy will be done not my kingdom but thy kingdom come i give you my everything my past my hurt my pain i repent today and when you do god just comes in and then when the devil shows back up a little stinking liar shows back up to try to remind you of your past and heard one man say when the devil shows up and reminds you of your past you need to take a moment and remind him of his future [Music] troll knight of god and he will draw night to you cleanse your hands you sinners and purify your heart you double minded the final prayer is found in the 18th verse and i'd like for you to stand with me i love this because the devils said don't throw us in the lake send us away don't kill us he sent him the pigs the pigs ran the lake and choked them a community of unbelievers said you know what they prayed him to depart out of their coast but when the devils left and the unbelievers left the man whose life had been changed the bible said he was clothed and in his right mind they're going to be some people delivered if jesus tarries in these last hours that you knew in the community and you're like i don't see how god could ever do anything in them and god's going to do something so marvelous in them that it's going to astound you because when jesus changes a life it's beyond our understanding it's beyond our comprehension and in this 18th verse you can put it up on the screen the bible said when he was come to the ship he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him howbeit jesus suffered him not and said unto him go home to thy friends and tell them how great things the lord had done for thee luke 8 says tell them how great things god had done for thee and had compassion on thee and he departed and began to publish and depock was how great things jesus had done for him and all men did marvel he prayed that he would go but jesus said i'm not going to let you go because what i did in you was actually to bring glory to me and cause you to transform this community of unbelievers that when they look at you you're going to be a living testimony of what i have done in your life i don't know how many of them got saved as a result of that miracle but i felt quickened today to say that that's exactly what god is going to do in your life that sometimes you just want to go with the flow and god said i did something in you because i have something to do through you and everything i'm going to do in you is going to be for my glory lift your hands up to the lord all over this building if you just take a moment and submit to god just submit to god whatever that means to you would you submit to him god i give you my will i give you my word i give you my education i give you [Music] you my career i give you my help i give you my money i give you my business i give everything to you i humble [Music] precious gift myself the holy ghost deliver me from all sin and unrighteousness let your work and your will be accomplished with you for all of this i give you praise give your glory and give you honor i want to move quickly today to those that need to come and pray i don't even know who you are just say pastor i'd like to come and pray and i'd like to just fully give myself to

have robes we have towels and we'll open the wall today and you'll go down in the only saving name the name of the lord jesus christ for the remission of your sins and today i don't wanna i don't want you to leave without obeying that command you can do your hair again you can dry it out you can get another change of clothes but what happens today is eternal and you are baptized in the wonderful name of jesus and not only that but he wants to fill you with the precious greek of the holy ghost and you'll speak in other tongues as a spirit gave undress i watched a young couple here today god renew them in the nine o'clock service young man spoke in tongues in the nine o'clock service it's a little quieter than nine o'clock service and less people there but you know the holy ghost can work

again and if that's you today and you say pastor i just i'm gonna do what i know [Music] [Music] oh the word of god [Music] please [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] me [Music] me
