Pastor Anthony Mangun preaching on Spiritual Battles

fighting one another instead of understanding that this fight is above us he's just working through that person or working through me to get to that person and we think it's physical when really it is a spiritual battle you are not that person that's hurt you that person that's come against you it's not that person that's being thought in the spiritual world all of us have been in situations trying to change people who's not doing right maybe not understanding that the people who are not doing right by us could very well be under the control of the person that they can't see and until you and I learn to understand that what happens through people does not exonerate the wrong things that people do to us but that that it happens through people through you through me through people upon us has at its core something that is much bigger than we are and it comes down to a whole spiritual battle now let me try to make sense of what I just shocked you with because tonight I would just set a foundation that causes you to understand why we preach spirituality so strong in this church the Holy Ghost spirituality this is something that your five senses can't handle you need a sixth sense to what I'm preaching about tonight you need something that goes beyond the obvious use of your thinking and the obvious use of your physical well-being Daniel chapter four verse 26 states the heavens do rule let me tell you who rules my life tonight the heavens now I'm gonna show you who's all in the heavens you say well if the heavens rule you you're doing it no the heavens rule you but I'm gonna explain everything that's in the heavens tonight that could rule you the heavens do rule what takes place on earth everything that takes place on earth starts in the heaven it's a spiritual battle before it ever gets to you so until you and I address the spiritual cause we will never upset the physical effect until we understand that we are in a spiritual battle we will never get our situations my situation I'm speaking to myself tonight we will never get that worked out in the physical because we are not in a physical battle we are in a spiritual battle and that's what we got to understand perhaps as a result of this teaching I'll save you some time perhaps instead of spending all your time on human man-made solutions you will start understanding that's the only way we're going to handle our situation is through the Holy Ghost in fire and through the anointing of the Holy Ghost and through the power of this world and through the power of prayer perhaps as a result of this cheap teaching I will save you some relationships because instead of starting first with the Rome that people have done to you you will start first with the wrong that the spirit world has done to the people that's done you wrong you got to understand everybody people I love people that I may not care for they're God's children but everyone is being controlled by that spirit world so in order to understand this we have to understand its essence and that is the battle in which you and I are engaged in is spiritual however even though it's spiritual in its cause as I stated a moment ago it is physical in its effect in other words the reason you know you're in a spiritual war is you're bleeding you're hurting here tonight you've got financial problems you got marital problems you've got children problems you got issues you've got depression problems you got oppression problems you're bound by a chemical of some sort you're you're facing something in your life you may not have seen the bullet but you know you bleeding many of us are seeing it in our personal lives for personal lives or disaster and it doesn't mean that you're they're doing something real bad it just could be that you have uncontrolled anger maybe look at a relationship between this emotion called anger and the spiritual war just by flipping back to Ephesians chapter four twenty five and twenty seven wherefore putting away lying speak every man truth with his neighbor for we are members one of another be angry and sin not let not the Sun go down upon your wrath neither give place don't give an opportunity to the devil please notice the correlation between the effect of uncontrolled anger and the opportunity granted the devil to take over a compartment of your life many of us notice I said us are suffering today because of something that we left unresolved that never got dealt with yesterday and we just think well he didn't be wrong or that person did me wrong or when I was a child that happened to me or that I faced that when really Satan has gotten ahold of our emotion and has destroyed our ability to function because it's a spiritual opportunity that was granted by the devil to move in on you and the devil was to get you to where you are not spiritually thinking he wants you to think this is a physical war he wants you to think that this is a battle that is being fought down here many of us are facing it in our families we're facing all the way back to Adam and Eve the first family was brought into it by the devil it affects us personally spiritual warfare affects the church Paul told Timothy in first Timothy four and one he said watch out for the doctrine the devil's that they were infiltrate the church and many a person and being led to defeat because they follow false doctrine or they get off in some doctrine and they start losing a spiritual war because they're entangled just because somebody opens and start reading out of the Bible doesn't mean that they're preaching the truth you can take certain areas of this Bible you just about prove anything you want to prove you can't take a scripture out of context so make sure if you're gonna listen to somebody preach or teach you what kind of life they live you know what they're doing or you know something about them and you put your faith in confidence because when somebody reads this book we're getting into war and this looks what's going to set me free and I want to know that no false doctrine the church is gonna come upon me don't get to the end and let's sauce doctrine get you don't don't get to the end and let being born-again just become a side thing of watering spirit err this repentance of baptism in jesus amen filling of the Holy Ghost it really doesn't matter don't let anything come on you're in a battle right now and the devil wants to do everything he can in our church to you personally to try to destroy in the last days because he knows his days are numbered even in our culture we're going to see as we go along to Daniel chapter 10 whole nations were being influenced by this invisible battle among the Angels right now you and I are in the midst of a war in the head of this is Satan he's called the Prince and the power of the air in other words you're breathing in this earth you're breathing the Prince and power of the air that's why it's easy in a church if you don't stay spiritually connected to become worldly minded because he is the god of this world he's the head of this world he controls this world it's in every compartment that you live in but when you find out you're in a war and there's nowhere to run then you better learn how to fight because that's the only way you're going to make it in this day and time is taken up the sword and take it up the shield and learning how to fight in the spiritual warfare the key in essence is simply this it is our ability to control and influence the spiritual realm I'm gonna say that again the battle is my ability forgetting I'm teaching to you this is ministered to me today just let me minister to myself if you're not in with this the ability to control the influence of the spiritual realm in my life that will determine Vic or defeat in the physical realm it is my ability to control troll or influence the spiritual realm I will either be controlled by darkness or I will be controlled by life and I determine that no one else determines that but me I determine whether I'm going to be controlled by darkness or I control whether I'm going to be controlled by light I can't determine some things that's going to happen to me but I can determine how I respond to those things that happen to me so if you are in war and we are then your ability to deal with the spiritual realm will control whether you lose or whether you win Satan's job is to get you to not take the spiritual realm seriously he don't want you to think about the spirits around he just wants you to think about coming here hearing pastor on Wednesday night hearing me preach Sunday morning on the marriage supper of the Lamb hearing mother new revelation Sunday night being faithful to God paying your ties that's all he wants you to think about he don't want you to think about the spiritual realm but there is a spiritual realm that you can walk in that you can control not everything that happens to you but you can control how you respond to everything that happens to you every one of us the Bible says it rains on the just and it rains on the unjust we all get a jury every family gets it everybody goes through something but what determines whether victory is won through that circumstance is whatever spiritual being that comes from heaven comes to us because if he can divert you from the spirits around he can divert you from the only place where your solution lies I am going to try to preach you out of your depression tonight I am going to try to preach you out of your circumstance tonight I am going to try to preach you out what you're going through tonight I am here to tell you I don't care how bad it's been I don't care what you have faith I don't care what you're going through I've got a that can handle whatever you're facing tonight and you're going to come out victorious you may be bleeding tonight but the war is not over you may have blood flowing tonight but the war is not over yeah let's go to the essence of that battle you don't win you just you feel her I got some blood here yeah we've been bloodied but we're gonna win this is a war this is a fight this is a battle we're gonna win this spiritual war everybody say I'm a winner I'm gonna win I came here depressed and oppressed but I'm gonna leave here at least knowing that my circumstance may not be fixed but I can have clapping in my hands and I can have a praise in my soul and I can have rejoicing in my heart so let's go the essence of the battle while the location of the battle I can't believe I'm running out of time what does the end of verse 12 say verse 12 says this battle is raging in a certain place it's called high places the Bible heaven is spoken up on three levels one is the atmospheric heaven which is the place where you and I live this is a heaven though it seems like we're living in a lot of other myths but then we moved from the atmospheric heaven and you go to the stellar heaven that's where the stars exist that's where the milky way's are that is the second heaven that is where most of your angels reside because when you even look at the book of Revelation when he talks about the Angel of the Church of Sardis or the Angel of the Church of Laodicea that speaking of the star of heaven the star that is there because in the Bible angels were referenced as stars so what God did was create spiritual beings and angels spiritual stars and he gave you a physical reality that when you look up it will remind you that there are angels the third thing that is there is the third heaven that's what Paul said now let me tell you what the third heaven is that's where God's throne is that's where God's office is that's where God works out of so to speak that's where God operates his whole function of everything from so when you look it's a book of Ephesians you will see how this phrase is used in this book Ephesians 1 and 3 blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings wait wait wait time out where are your spiritual blessings wait come out not hearing pastor preach not not not nothing your spiritual blessings are we're in heavenly places so when we look for the blessings of God we have to understand that the blessings of God are in heavenly places so the verse 2 says two things first that Jesus Christ I father is in heavenly places but notice it says your blessings are in heavenly places so if you and I are in war and we need blessings to win the war then the blessings we need to win the war is in heavenly places so what I have to do is I have to know how to get from here to heavenly places because my blessings are in heavenly places the thing that's going to bless me the thing that's going to take me through the things that's going to supply me is in heavenly places if you don't know how to get to heavenly places then we're not going to know how to get the blessings of God and it's very simple to get there you take this book you take prayer you take fasting and you love God with your heart soul mind and strength you're gonna get to heavenly places you say well pastor I'm facing singing down here on earth yes but your blessings are in heaven and if you don't ever learn to take a trip there and borrow from your arsenal up there the devil will beat the Stephan's out of me and he'll beat the stuffings out of you let me tell you pastors bled all of us had bled the devils knocked us all around at some time or another the devil punch every opportunity he has he'll come against you every opportunity he can he wants you to be a cat this war but I can make a trip to that second heaven I can go to where the angels are residing and I can say okay god I call Oh blessings down I pull the blessings down on my family in my circumstances look at Ephesians 1 19 and 20 and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us word who believe according to the working of his mighty power which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in heavenly places so we got the father which is Jesus Christ we got Jesus Christ who's a manifestation of the father we got our blessing it says your blessings are there it says that Jesus Christ is there he said if you need any help he said I will be there for you so you and I have to learn how to take a trip to heavenly places and we got to find out the transportation we got to find out how to get there and we got to understand that on a daily basis I've got to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ our Bishop said every day every day every day every day I am going every day I am fighting those spirits every day I'm going to heavenly places I can't live off of Tuesday's blessing and tomorrow I can't live off of Wednesday's blessings I got to go to in the morning when I get up and I pray the tabernacle before I leave I get up and I say god I'm getting in heavenly places I'm getting my blessings and I'm calling down on me I'm calm down on Mickey I'm calling them down on by killing Jeff and Eva and and give I'm confident on jittery and I'm calm down and Lex I'm calling them down God signed out that transportation and then you take a trip every morning I'm leaving this earth and I'm going to another place I'm going to a spiritual realm hyah hyah I'm going to a spiritual ramp where I can get God to fight for me so we got Jesus Christ our Father in Heaven places we got our blessings in heavenly places so feast it's two and six God has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places now this is really getting good we got Jesus Christ our Father in Heaven Lee places we got our blessings in heavenly places and then God says you are allowed to come here and sit in heavenly places with me you mean I can go there he said you can go there and the problem is if you only see where you are physically and you never understand where you're supposed to be spiritually you'll never be able to win the battle in the spiritual war physically we are here physically we look around the situation is what it is but I have to also look and say I am in spiritual places it's gonna be weird right here let me see how this goes hold on just a minute please answer please answer hey baby as the Eva there she is mother there's Lane baby say hello to everybody baby yeah I'm getting ready to hang up baby and I'll talk to you later on the church I just showed you something I'm in Alexandria she's in Dallas Texas but I'm in both places right now there's my baby there's my grandbaby right there and yet that's 207 miles for I can tell you for hours in 10 minutes from here because we've done it before and yet there she is watching her papi preach and I'm in wherever she is in her house right now I'm in that room with her and I'm talking to her while I'm talking to you Thank You Eva Knievel I'll call you later I love you Bonnie that's just the way it is I'm here I'm in a battle I'm up against it I can't find a job I can't get it fixed everything I know to do I can't fix it I thought all I could fight I'm tired I'm weary a monk against it I can't do it gotcha timeout you're trying to do it by yourself come on I got a place for you come on it's not your battle anymore the battles not yours anymore come on I'm gonna take you to another place I'm gonna take you to heavenly places and I'm gonna fight for you and I'm gonna be with you and my angels are gonna fight for you I am gonna be with you in God's hands gonna rest upon you and I'm gonna direct you because the battle is not yours the battle is mine the battle doesn't Blom to you the battle belongs to me and God is going to fight for you and if God is for us who can be against us if God is for us then I will bring you to a feet just for a moment you'll have a shout in your heart you're declaring the Word of God hey Hachi ka Laima hiya did you fight get up Oh pull out your gear put on the whole armor of God pull out your sword and your shield tonight get you fight back in you understand it's not an earthly fight I see some of your parents praising God you've been going through with your children go ahead and praise thee it looks like it's not good it looks like it's tough it looks like it's a bad situation quit fighting it down here quit trying to work it out down here take a trip up there take a trip to heavenly places let the angels of God fight you may be seated man oh oh I can be two places I'm standing here on this platform and I'm not so up there with him I'm sitting with you I'm face time with God that's it Bonnie I'm face time when I do this I face time with him I get in heavenly places I get to where he is three and ten of Ephesian to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the Church of the manifold wisdom of God angels are in heavenly places that's what he's telling us angels are their rulers and authorities refer to angels you say well why is that important because it takes an angel to beat an angel and if you have an angelic problem you need an angelic solution most of us have very little consciousness of angels why because they're not a part of our physical repertoire but what you need to understand is there's a battle going on and God has a whole group of angels when the Bible says the Lord of hosts that means that's his host here angels that's fighting with him when he says I've done I'm the Lord of hosts that means he's got a whole host of angels we know the devil rose up against him we know the devil came to fight against him and the Lord kicked the devil out with 1/3 of his angels that means that the Lord has 2/3 angels left so when you say there's a spirit coming against me or the devil is against me let me tell you it's probably not the devil because he's not locked God he's not omnipresent the devil can only be one place at one time but he's got a bunch of little angels that he sits around to torment of me and that worry you and to fight you and to come against you so to fight his angels the Lord said I will Commission one of my angels he said I will send one of my angels and you have that demon or devil that's after you understand that God has angels you don't have a heavenly mind said if you don't understand God has angels that can defeat the Devils angels Ephesians 6 and 12 for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world against spiritual wickedness in so we got the wickedness there in this second heaven we got we got the Lord Father Jesus Christ our God we got our blessings we got ourselves we've got our angels and we've got these wicked angels in heavenly or higher places these devils and demons and so since everything is in heavenly places we better learn to get from earth and learn how to take that trip because that's where the action is and let me tell you the the fight is not you the fight is between God and the devil I'm just about done because there's no way I can finish this lesson and buddy I got some good stuff so I may read you some more I want that next week I'm at Congress but the next wing tonight I'm gonna come back and we've may finish this lesson up i'ma win I want the devil no I'm gonna win cause tonight we've learned something it's not my ex it's not my husband it's not my wife it's not my children it's not my church it's not that person that I'm fighting against it is the demons of Hell that's in heavenly places that's fighting against me I'm in a spiritual war and I'm gonna quit trying to fight this thing physically I'm going to start fighting it spiritually and I'm gonna back up like Abraham did and put Isaac on the altar and I'm gonna say that's my circumstance now god it's yours you take care of it I wouldn't we'll get this fired up tonight but I got a little fight in me tonight I feel like the Holy Ghost has sent some of you're free tonight you're getting spiritually set free in Jesus name when I was in Madagascar whenever you go overseas how many of you have never been overseas would you raise your hand that's a majority of our congregation when you go overseas when when you go to the Philippines one time we were leaving here on a on a Monday morning and it was a Sunday night and the airline called and said said whoever Gentry is he cannot go because his passport expires while he's over there and it slipped by us and it slipped by the airline so it was when the president was president and I made a contact to his secretary that night it they had a letter and is amazing when we landed in the Philippines they picked Gentry up and me and Mick and they took us to the American Embassy what you have to understand is in the Philippines in Madagascar in France Jimmy in England where the American Embassy is does not belong to that nation it belongs to America whether it's to ecers whether it's three acres whether it's a block it belongs to America it is the American Embassy it belongs to America it doesn't matter what nation it is it belongs to America and anytime that you understand that you are in this world but you have an embassy from heaven that is fighting for you when you're in trouble in a foreign country when something goes wrong in a foreign country all you have to do is go to that embassy and they will take care of you you have a visa for a while down here on this world but that visa is just about to run out then we're gonna hear about it Sunday night because the rapture is getting ready to take place and we're gonna get out of here my homeland is American so in essence the battle is spiritual the location of the battle is heavenly revelation 12 and I got to close it depicts a day when the war will break out in visible form like never before and I want to show you in verse 7 through 9 and there was war in heaven Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon and the dragon fought against his angels and they prevailed not neither was their place found any more in heaven and the Great Dragon was cast out and the old serpent called the devil and Satan which deceiveth the whole world he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him you have two squads here you got Michael and the good angels and you got the devil in the bad angels and guess who they're fighting they're fighting one another and the battle is you so there's a war in heaven that affects the deception down here on earth when you were born again you say I don't want to be born in war you were born when you got born again you were born into a war the devil don't like the people that's called by his name he doesn't like what you stand for he doesn't like how you look he doesn't like what you believe he comes against you that's why every kid in Israel that is born they are born in war every Israeli their parents begin to teach them you were born in war their war is over land everybody say land they know that from the time they 18 years old they're joining the army and they're going to fight for their land we are born into a war but let me tell you what we're fighting over it's not land it's over the globe of God it's over hoop we're gonna give glory to weather we're gonna give glory to Satan or whether we're gonna get glory to God it's whoever you're gonna give glory to is who the war is over and tonight I have come here with my mind made up no matter what I'm going through no matter what I'm facing no matter what I'm up against no matter what battle I am in God is gonna get glory out of this because I'm only the one that's being used the battle is between the devil and God they're just using me but I want the devil to know no matter what I'm in or going through I'm gonna get in heavenly places and I'm gonna bring down the spiritual things let's stand give praise to God I can't finish this tonight this is just too much material whoo I'm a winner I'm a winner I'm an overcomer every time the devil sends a spirit at me I can get up there in heavenly places in God to say hey angel you go down there and take that it's not me Commission it's the God to Commission somebody he's fighting for me and you're gonna win this battle and you're gonna come out victorious God's for you God's hands upon you God's glory is there Satan is is deceptive he says he's a serpent he charge of a god that raises one final question you say I have a problem right now how do I make it from this week on well I wouldn't close this message without giving it to you and it's Ephesians 6:10 to the level finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil what do you do put on the whole armor of God acts 26:18 to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan look at that let's read that first part to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God our problem is listen to Pastor yes we only put on the armor when we recognize we're in a fight what pastors come to tell you is you never take the armor off it doesn't matter if everything looks peaceful it doesn't matter if everything looks like it's going good it doesn't matter if everything looks great you put on the whole armor of God and you build of that armor wear that when the devil come you'll never cut with your guard down you always got the spiritual warfare working for you you say I try to fight the devil that's the problem you can't fight the devil you gotta let that God in heavenly places fighting for you and tonight in the name of Jesus and on the authority and the power of the word of God I commissioned God's angels that he asked the Commission but God I commissioned you right now to send angels to these people to those that's being afflicted by depression and oppression and by things that's coming against their family I take the authority to the power the name of Jesus and I speak against wickedness in high places now look this church to come down here with me tonight I want you to just get as close as you can get you can you can bring your Bibles we're gonna we're gonna lay hands on one other we're gonna say God do wonderful things God's gonna set some people free don't leave unless you have to because you're getting ready to see the Lord fight for you be strong in the Lord and the power of his might it is when you fight that he fights for you we're gonna learn how to get to the Holy of Holies we're gonna learn how to get to the heavenlies we gonna learn how to get to the next place we're gonna pick up this Word of God oh there's nothing like the work thank you mother thank you somebody clap and shout to the Lord just a moment give it clapping shouting we will give a praise to God give a praise to God shout to the Lord give a shout to the Lord give a praise the Lord Hey go ahead go to war go into the heavenly places by prayer by the word by fasting dona heavenly face it right now understand that go there with that name you got the name you got the blood you got the world and yet not be shaken in the name of Jesus in a laser beam for pushing back I want you to I want you to release up in your spirit tonight it may go all the way back to when you were a child there's been something that violated you or something that hurts you or situations you've been in I want you to release that and say God I'm not going to keep carrying that against that person and I'm not going to keep holding that against that person because they were just controlled by a spirit from another world but God from this point on I am going to learn that I am not fighting against people I am not fighting against another person I am fighting against the spirit and tonight we take the authority over so by yourselves raise your hands and surrender to God and know that God is one more thing lady the lady man-to-man our husband a wife I'd prefer to be someone that even a man to man or lady to lady if you can do that we have probably a little more ladies than we do men but I want you to reach enough pasture can't get to everybody so would you just turn and lay your hands on and I'm gonna ask you to pray them for you don't listen there's some listen to Pastor just a minute there's some in here that I don't know what they're going through but there are some in here I do know what they're going through and tonight I'm asking you being I can't get to everybody I'm asking you to pray for them for me now right now you're not praying for yourself we just did that now you're praying for that person you got to handle that God will dispatch an angel to help them fight the circumstance they're here speak the world over them now right now in the name of Jesus speak the world pray deliverance over there we deliberate over there No Jesus do me a favor now that we have prayed for one another now that we've prayed for ourself now that we know we can go to heavenly places everybody say by the words by the blood and by the name by the word by the blood and by the name we prayed for ourselves and we prayed for one another now I want you to raise your hands and I want you to shout victory in your circumstance would you do that up to the shout victory in your circumstance I want to declare victory and your touch of death Oh you got a right to praise I'm declaring victory over your
