lord praise god praise god feels like you want to be seated and that's just perfectly fine hallelujah where were you the lord asked matter of fact the lord may want to ask where are you where were you when i laid the foundation of the earth tell me if you have understanding who determined its measurements surely you know did you anybody know the lord is a little sarcastic sometimes here he is with job chapter 38 or who stretched the line upon it or on when its bases sunk or who laid its cornerstone when the morning star sang together and all the sons of god shouted for joy or have you been down to the ocean recently [Music] who shut up the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb when i made the clouds its garment in the thick darkness its swaddling band and i prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors and said mr c mr ocean turn off those bragging ways thus far shall you come and no further huh that's who it is that you've come to worship today for you know who he is the one that laid the foundations of the earth the one that put everything in order you go on through those chapters you'll find out that he designed this earth and gave everything its specific nature that governs it for example he talks about the bears he talks about other animals that function literally by the nature that he put on the inside and you and i are governed by nature we're creatures of love and relationship and society and i told us a long time ago we're banning social distancing no longer we honoring social distancing we honor physical distancing yeah we do physical distancing but social interaction social connectivity because we all need each other and we love each other praise god oh it's good to be in the lord's house and put the creator first honor the god of the universe put life back into order because life has a tendency to spend it out of control and go into disarray and you and i as the smart ones are not centered in ourselves we live in a world one talks a lot about mindfulness and centeredness and they always want to get centered in themselves well that's a disaster i'll tell you that that's called selfishness where it ends up at but being centered in the creator and centered in the things of god putting him first honoring him oh you're the smart ones hallelujah amen you are the smart ones on this earth knowing who it is from where you came yeah you didn't come from a monkey you didn't come from amoeba you came from the god of glory that created you with a nature that wants to honor and praise him and magnify him and when you do and connect to him you feel fulfilled you feel satisfied ah to be in his presence nothing more meaningful than to be this is the best part of the week right here amen being in the presence of the lord and in honor to the creator we put him first in finance there's a noisy offering there's cans that we're going to bless our kids with making some noise for them change that changes lives and thank you for your ministry to bless the children as well as the tithe and the offerings and remembering today that we're faithful to him who is always faithful to us the psalmist mentions that in 119 when he says continue your faithfulness to me who is faithful to you just reminding you lord thanking you praise god father we thank you for the celebration this day of resurrection knowing it's on the first day of the week that you conquered death the greatest enemy and now we have no fear literally lord we walk in this life with joy with thanksgiving and now lord in the abundance of blessing we give to you the offerings with thanksgiving and gratitude but rendering unto you the tithe as well lord for it is that which you take hold and claim as your own and we know lord you're the resource of it all anyway and we thank you for the life the health the jobs the provisions everything comes from you you're the very resource thank you for the sun that shines thank you for the clouds that blow thank you lord for every blessing in life our families this church family and our relationship we have with you thank you for the baptism in your name the washing away of sins the blood of jesus christ calvary but bought it all for us lord thank you for your love your nature your goodness and everybody say we love you jesus your blessings upon it in jesus name let's stand together shall we hallelujah as you give and again greet somebody near you with an expression to them so good to be in the lord's house together today praise god keeping also in mind the vasquez family most of you

been missing you can find in the house of the lord when jesus shows up because whatever you need jesus can take the shape of that need and supply every need so i'm just so glad to be in the house of the lord where the family can gather together in the presence of the lord and so we do have a dire need that's been presented to the family this morning we're going to pray we're going to pray a very special touch of the lord to be upon myra mejia this is sister liz perez sister and so sister liz can you just stand right the actually you can come right up here because we have a very sister liz is

complications in removing the baby and myra is on the doorstep of losing her life if they if things don't work out and just the way they should and just there's so many different variables that could

thank you lord for your grace jesus [Music] oh [Music] thank you lord jesus [Music] qatar oh yes jesus yes jesus yes jesus yes jesus [Music] hallelujah where the spirit of the lord is there is a liberty where the spirit of the lord is there jesus is in the midst the bible says where two or three gather together in his name there he is in the midst the bible also says that if you can touch an agreement to anything on earth so shall it be done in the heavens so shall it be done god can move when you step into an agreement god can move when you step into a place of unity oh hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah thank you jesus thank you jesus hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah [Music] hallelujah [Music] thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord [Music] lord god we believe jesus that you're going to move in this place lord we believe right now god that you are moving according to your purpose for i the lord god have called you to this place i've beckoned you with my spirit i have put things before you that have drawn you to this very moment before you there is a line before you there is a precipice before you i have laid a moment if you walk away now you will miss the moment i've created for you if you turn your back on me now you will miss the opportunity that i have shaped for you so rather than turning or walking away walk toward me walk toward me into this moment that i have shaped and created for you walk toward me in this particular moment where i will reach into your life where i will turn everything wrong into right everything that satan has tried to rule against you and destroy within you i will bring to life that which is dead i have died so you might live i want to bring you out today if you'll just turn to me if you'll look to me i have created a moment for you to interact with me save the lord [Applause] he says we turn to you jesus we turn to you jesus [Music] we turn to you jesus we look to you jesus oh my god create the moment of intersect for our soul lord reach our soul jesus reach our soul jesus [Music] yes jesus he has jesus thank you jesus thank you jesus thank you jesus thank you jesus [Music] foreign [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Music] [Music] me [Music] [Music] oh that's it somebody's got to go from being a bystander to being a participator somebody's going to have to go from just watching god move to allowing god to move in your life the lord is reaching for somebody right now in this moment don't let your moment pass you by don't just be a spectator but be somebody that participates in what god is doing ah [Music] foreign [Music] foreign oh yes jesus yes jesus yes jesus yes jesus yes jesus yes jesus oh mighty [Music] um [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] hallelujah [Music] oh [Music] is [Music] oh hey [Music] there is so much peace in this house there's so much peace in this room hmm [Laughter] [Music] thank you jesus thank you jesus thank you jesus thank you lord [Music] the lord's presence is like a wave it comes it rises it's got dynamics it's not just something that happens but god does it with an order with plan with design god orchestrates you see it's up to me then once god begins to move i've got to decide that i'm going to move with him you see if i'm going to fight what god is doing i'm going to fall by the wayside but if i'll begin to move as he moves as he leads as he puts an unction in your spirit as you begin to move and operate you're not hindering what god is doing but rather you are flowing with what god is doing and you're enhancing what god is doing and god is using you for a purpose in a move like this so his purpose can be accomplished and he uses you to fulfill that purpose but i have to flow with what god is doing i have to flow with where god is taking me for moves to happen like this it requires an element of sensitivity being sensitive to the presence of god being sensitive to what god is doing because not any one person is causing this type of interaction with god almighty but the bible says when we come together in praise he inhabits the praises of his people he dwells in the praises of his people he makes his lodging his dwelling his home in the praises of his people and so when we praise and when we come together that's where god dwells you want to find jesus you find him in the midst of your praise you want to find jesus you're going to find him in the moment when you seek him when you knock on the door it gets open unto you but i've got to do my part and i've got to activate my faith within me to let god's spirit move freely so when god's presence moves i want to do my part to allow it to move to allow it to move everybody in this room has a place in a movement like this everybody in this room has a place in a job and a function in a move like this either you are actively involved in allowing the gift of the spirit to flow through you you're allowing god to minister through you to somebody else or you're just there letting faith grow letting faith rise letting faith activate in the hearts of those around you but everybody in this room whether you are a participant or a bystander are either helping or hindering what god is doing but every one of us has a role and every one of us has a function that's why when god's presence moves i don't ever want to be just a bystander because you know what happens to the bystander all they get to do is watch and they don't get to enjoy i want to be a participant in what god is doing because if i can participate then i can receive what god will do i can receive what god is doing in this place through the family for me as an individual as a person in relationship with jesus christ amen amen we can be seated god bless you and uh so a couple announcements before we get into the remainder of this service this morning i do believe that god has given me a divine word i do believe that the lord has spoken something into my spirit and i'm not going to be able to re leave this place without that word being spoken and so even during this moment in this move i was praying god i do we need to just stay in this vein and not move forward in the lord just reassure me no he says there's a word for somebody today and there's some people that have been bound today but they will be freed after this service after the word of the lord goes forward they will be freed so we are going to continue and before we do i just want to say thank you to all of our guests and visitors here today thank you for joining us thank you for being here [Applause] so glad that you've joined us here at ipc on an amazing sunday every sunday is amazing does anybody feel like me where you just can't wait for sunday to get here monday happens and you're already waiting for sunday it's like i want to get back to sunday already i can't wait to get back in the family with the presence of the lord and let god move and operate and see him do great things and so but all of our guests and visitors we love you we're so glad that you're here and we just pray that you feel the love of the lord in this place but also you feel the love of this family because we do love you amen don't we family we love our guests and our visitors we love them so much amen coming up saturday night the 25th of september at 7 p.m is symphony 8. [Laughter] i can't pronounce the orchestra i i can never pronounce it it's sim synesthesia synesthesia symphony all right so that's going to be this saturday night every once a month we have the orchestra here on a saturday night so if you enjoy classical music you enjoy uh just music in general and sitting in a place of just oh this is so nice i just come in on tuesday nights and i just sit

beacon ministries freedom from homosexuality reaching the homosexual understanding the homosexual and believing that every individual is called unto god amen every person is called to god and so this will be beneficial for everyone i i highly recommend parents to come so you can understand what type of environment is trying to grab a hold of your children okay i mean it's out there it's happening i pulled my oldest son out of public school this last year because he kept asking me what gender was what and trying to figure out figuring out the gender of this animal that animal this person and i said no no no we're not going down this road we're not doing this and so pulled them out of public school because i'm sorry but the public school system even though they were part of abc an extremely uh conservative school district they are forced to teach certain things by the state law otherwise they can't teach okay and so they're taught to teach them they have to teach a one-gender restroom they have to otherwise they're going to be fired and so nothing against the school district or the teachers but i had to pull my son out because i'm gonna i'm gonna let him i'm not gonna shelter him his whole life but i'm gonna control the environment he's exposed to and so this will be beneficial for parents saturday i'm telling you parents you want to sign up you want to register you want to understand because i guarantee you your child is a target i guarantee you i guarantee you your child is a target you say oh no not my kid no no no your kid yes your innocent child is a target all right so come saturday get empowered understand what's going on so you can better shape the environment of your home and better protect your children and help them understand what type of world they're living in okay that's going to be saturday 10 a.m you're not going to want to miss it i believe i've gotten through all the announcements that i forget anything i don't think i've forgotten anything there was some other things i had to mention but it's okay we're going to move on in jesus name amen so every opportunity we get to stand as a family and dedicate a baby unto the lord dedicated child unto the lord is an amazing honor that we get to share every one of us as a family we get to stand in unity in agreement that the parents are not having to raise their children by themselves but the family stands together and assists and helps i'm so thankful that my sixth year was filled with the gift of the holy ghost but it wasn't me who prayed for him it was the family you see the family assist in helping our children get to heaven and that's our honor that we get to have and so stephen erica if you can come and bring avery and bring elliot uh stephen and erica it's also so good to have the beller's family jonathan jocelyn here today [Applause] so good to see brother steve and sister sandrine maddie welcome home we love you guys and then that's pretty talented stephen that's amazing the steps are right over here right there's the steps amen yes and we can walk around the front of this little stage we love steven and erica don't we we love this amazing family [Applause] [Music] i thought you were giving me the shoe i was like wait that's not going to fit [Music] only wait a second and so you have elliott and avery two amazing boys boys are awesome all right i mean i've never had a girl but boys are awesome so we're in good company and so steve and erica you guys are just you have the privilege god has entrusted you with the lives of avery and elliot he's put these little lives into your hands he has entrusted you with their care he has entrusted you with giving them knowledge giving them understanding that upon one day when they come to an age of understanding they will seek out their own relationship with god because although they can't make it to heaven on our relationship if we neglect our relationship it can definitely affect their relationship so we've got to maintain our relationship with him so that way our children can find their own relationship because if i don't have a relationship my kids will never find a relationship so you have the privilege you also have the command in your home to choose you this day whom you're going to serve are you going to serve the things around you are you going to serve almighty god is he going to be center in your home because he's entrusted you with these boys he's entrusted to your care your vocation stephen first and foremost is father to these children father and husband erica your vocation first and foremost is mother to these children because he has entrusted you with their care and vocation is defined by those entrusted to your care so you will know what your vocation is it depends on who god is entrusted to your care so god has entrusted these boys to your care to raise up strong men of god men of god that can change their world don't look at them as they are now but where will they be 20 years from now what would they be doing in 20 years if they're raised i feel the holy ghost if they are raised in the house of god the hand of god that is upon their lives the blessings that's been upon your life you may not see it in your life right now but it'll flow into the lives of your children the promises spoken over you may not come to pass over you but over your children oh my god it's amazing how god works like that so there's an anointing upon these boys an anointing and we have to do our part to help raise them as parents you have to do your part to honor and say i'm going to do everything i can to help my kids make it to heaven do everything power in my power elliot i'm sorry i know you're super uncomfortable i know i know you want to get out and run around i know i get it i understand so we're going to make this as quickly and painless as possible okay did he bump his head probably okay it's okay it's okay i understand my boys do it all the time too they fight and all kinds of things happen there's blood and all things get involved i get it i get it so family if we can we're all going to stand right now in unity and we're going to we're going to pray for this family we're going to pray for stephen and erica brother steve sister sandrine i know sister sundering is really not your comfort zone but the invitation is open if you want to come up and pray with us the invitation is open amen and so we're going to stand together as family know that god's hand is upon this incredible family god's hand is upon this incredible family amen j.b johnson if you have maddie if you guys want to as well you're welcome to join us up here at your own leisure you don't have to by any means but you're welcome amen we love this family stephen jonathan

saw her do you want to come stand with us sister rosa you're welcome about the whole church the whole church can come and stand if you want so this is what's amazing okay because on the platform there's representative brother steve belairs brought his family stephen jonathan and madeline to the house of god stephen jonathan madeline born and raised in this place [Applause] and that happens because brother steve's sister sundry you dedicated stephen jonathan and madeline to the lord at a very young age you said okay god this child belongs to you and even though i don't understand everything is going to happen in life i dedicate their life to you and so jonathan maddie stephen here you guys are still serving the lord and what we're doing today we're doing the same thing for elliot and avery that this will too one day be a testimony that there will be elliott and avery standing on this platform with their children presenting them to the lord so family if we can let's pray

been a catholic priest and wednesday night he came into the house of the lord god filled him with the gift of the holy ghost god gave him the gift of the holy ghost to the sign of speaking in another language and as he was leaving i began to speak to him and i invited him to baptism and he agreed to be baptized in jesus name for the remission of his sins [Applause] and so this is where brother rodrigo needs your prayers okay because his bishop wants to meet with him this week to discuss what happened to him brother rodrigo is wanting to go back to his congregation and share his testimony of what god has done in his life [Applause] he's text me and his concerns are very much a concern which is i've been in the catholic church my whole life i have nothing that's my own everything i've ever

area through this man's testimony very possible so keep him in your prayers amen second kings chapter 9 verses 30 to 37 now when jehu had come to jezreel now jezreel means god will sow [Music] god will sow and so now when jehu had come to god will sow jezebel heard of it and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head and looked through a window then as jay hugh entered at the gate she said is it peace zamari murder of your master and he looked up at the window and said who is on my side so let me just paint a picture for you just for a moment that a couple days prior jay who had been anointed by the prophet to do a great work and basically abolish all of ahab's family all that ahab was and stood for god was cleansing the nation he was trying to get rid of baal worship he was trying to get rid of the idols in the nation of god and so he had re he caused jehu to raise up to perform this great work and so jay who had just killed some of ahab's sons and now here he is coming into the city and jezebel's asking is it peace you murder what have you come here for he looks up in the window and says who is on my side who so two or three eunuchs looked out at him then he said throw her down so they threw her down and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses and he trampled her underfoot and when he had gone in he ate and drank then he said after he ate and drank after he had already filled himself he says now go see this accursed woman and bury her for she was a king's daughter so they went to bury her but they found no more of her than the skull and the feet in the palms of her hands therefore they came back and told him and he said this is the word of the lord which he spoke by his servant elijah the tishbite saying oh the plot of ground at jezreel dogs shall eat the flesh of jezebel and the corpse of jezebel shall be a as refuge on the surface of the field in the plot of jezreel so that they shall not say hear lies jezebel so for the next few moments if you'll permit me to speak to you on this topic the dog the witch and the wart no not the wardrobe the dog the witch and the enabler the dog the witch and the enabler let's pray lord in jesus name right now god i thank you for the work that you've already done in this place and lord right now in jesus name i pray an anointing lord upon your word as it goes forth right now in jesus name i thank you god for the work that you're going to accomplish and lord i pray right now upon every individual every family member right now god every guest every visitor lord that your spirit lord will be outpoured today god let your holy spirit be freed mighty god and lord let it enter into each of us jesus in this moment in this place thank you mighty god for having your way in this room in every life in jesus name and everyone say amen amen tell somebody you love them as you're seated i love you it's so good to see you in the house of the lord today so glad you made it to the house of the lord on sunday i'm so glad that i'm here i'm so glad you're here i mean hey church would be kind of boring if it was just me showing up but because the family comes together something special happens amen amen and so when we are looking at this particular passage of scripture i have to understand who jezebel is now in today's society and in our modern times of christianity we have associated jezebel with a spirit from satan himself we have associated this individual as a spirit but i want to talk to you this morning and help us realize that jezebel was a spirit ever before ever long before jezebel was called jezebel okay the presence and the spirit that jezebel represents was with satan from the very moment that satan was cast out of heaven this spirit was with him and alongside him and if you want to talk about a hierarchy system of spirits it's satan and jezebel is right in the next line of hierarchy of spirits and so when i'm talking about the spirit of the age i'm gonna have to talk about and recognize this spirit jezebel jezebel in our life jezebel in our world jezebel in our mind this spirit is constantly at work on the minds of the believers on the hearts of those following jesus this spirit is constantly at work trying to get us to turn our back on the lord now some scholars like to give jezebel the benefit of the doubt and say she wasn't really doing anything wrong i mean how else would you expect her to believe behave and and and conduct herself i mean she was a child of a king and she was from tyree and sit in a very beautiful area right on the coast of the mediterranean sea and now because of political struggle she's got to go marry this guy ahab who who is the king of a kingdom inland away from the beautiful coast away from everything that she knows and loves and is in a custom all she did was just bring what she was used to all she did was bring what was accustomed to her from the land she came from it was baal that they worshipped in tyree in sin and they did not worship the lord god almighty they worshiped baal she was just being true to the god that she served that's what a lot of scholars want to believe and that's what some say is she was just being true to what she believed but the truth of the matter is yes she might have been true to what she believed and i don't have a problem with people's own personal beliefs and what they want to do everybody's entitled to their own belief and their own measure of how they're going to activate their faith it's up to them we can't force anything on anyone god doesn't force anything on anyone but i do have an issue who i have an issue in that yeah she can go serve bail all she wants the god of immortality yeah she can go serve him all that she wants but do not harm the prophets of god so if you look at jezebel it is a spirit of perversion it is a spirit of division and dissension but the greatest attribute of this spirit is rebellion and when you look at the webster's dictionary for rebellion it's twofold it's one to oppose something and rebel against it or walk away from it and two the second definition in your dictionary of rebellion is witchcraft witchcraft or antichrist jezebel this nasty spirit so here's what jezebel does one of the very first things that she does as queen over israel is she gathers the prophets of the living god together and kills them and in her attempt of killing them she tries to silence the voice of god in her life if you want to know if you're battling a jezebel in your life how much are you tempted to silence the voice of god in your life how tempted are you to not read your word how tempted are you not to hear the word of god as it goes forth across the pulpit how tempted are you not to hear the voice of god in your own spirit and you silence it jezebel wants you to silence the voice of god in your life the very first thing she does is silence those voices that might tell her contrary to something that she believes so she kills all the prophets of god and that's where her rebellion takes seed is whenever she rebels against a possible voice that could liberate her and deliver her she becomes this person slayer of god's prophet slayer of god's voice but where why and how does this happen a jezebel just doesn't appear overnight a spirit like jezebel doesn't just appear overnight in your life it just doesn't happen how does it happen where does it come from how does it all develop genesis 9 20 through 25 tells us noah a man of the soil proceeded to plant a vineyard so this is after the flood this is after the ark of the cove the the ark that they were traveling in and they were saved in has now come to rest on dry ground and verse 21 of the ninth chapter of genesis says when he drank some of its wine he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent ham the father of canaan so who is ham's son him the father of canaan so whose ham's son canaan okay so cain and his ham son ham saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside but shem and jibbeth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders and then they walked in backward and covered up their father's naked body their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked when noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him he said cursed be canaan the lowest of slaves will be he be to his brothers a couple of things that we can see here is that first of all when we look at the word naked in this particular passage of scripture it actually means uncleanliness so ham wasn't just exposing the nakedness of his father no and rather than dealing with the uncleanliness of his father in a private manner he went and got his two brothers and exposed his father's uncleanliness so the curse did not come from just noah being naked there and being exposed but it was his uncleanness that him decided to go share with other people rather than sharing somebody's uncleanliness why don't you just go ahead and help them through it and say hey i'm going to stand with you i'm going to pray with you i'm not going to shout it from the rooftops what you've done because if you choose to highlight someone's uncleanliness do you know what's going to happen if you choose to highlight somebody else's uncleanliness cursed be canaan noah did not look at him and say cursed be him for so long i thought it was him that was cursed no him was not cursed because of his own actions it was his son that was cursed because of his father's actions canaan was not the one that shouted the uncleanness from the rooftops to the brothers no that was not canaan but because him had done something atrocious and unspeakable at the time that he would expose his father's uncleanliness his father looks at him and says now cursed is your son the choices we make today does not bring a curse upon ourselves but a curse upon our children you just think that the sin that you are allowing active in your life to run around unchecked the sin that you're okay living with because it's a way to cope the sin that you're okay continuing in because it's just the way that you live life it's that very sin unchecked and untamed that is going to lead curses down from generations from you many many many more to come you may not be cursed yourself but your actions are cursing your children now let's flip that if you're saying no to sin and you're allowing yourself to grow in relationship with god and you're praying and you're overcoming sin and and if you live a life that's righteous before the lord guess what then happens not only are you not sending a curse over to your children but you are sending blessings over to your children and what god is doing in you he's going to continue to do through your children my curse that i deal with i can choose rather to slay it or allow it to live but if i allow it to live it's going to flow over into my other generations and many times the curse that i'm battling is not the curse of my own but it's the curse of my forefathers the curse that you're dealing with the curse that's broken up your family the curse that's destroyed your your family and it's all divided and broken is not from you but it's from the generations before so if i'm going to deal with this curse in my life i've got to put it out i've got to be done with it the curse stops with me it stops with me so how does this curse unfold how does this continue to develop because we got a bunch of generations between ham and jezebel we've got this huge old thing many many years spanning across these two different individuals so how does it all shape up well jezebel is a descendant of ham from a direct descendant of nimrod and genesis chapter 10 verses 6 through 20 tells us the sons of ham are as follows this is genesis 10 chapter 6 to 20. genesis chapter 10 verses 6 to 20. cush egypt put and canaan the sons of cush are zebba havilah zeptath rama and sebetka the sons of ramna are sheba and deadan cush was the father of nimrod who became a mighty warrior on the earth he was a mighty hunter before the lord that sounds good doesn't it a mighty hunter before the lord that is why it is said like nimrod a mighty hunter before the lord the first centers of his kingdom were now this is word names are going to start sounding familiar the first centers of his kingdom were babylon irk akad and in shinar from that land he went to assyria where he built nineveh rehoboth ear kala in resin which is between nineveh and kala which is the great city okay on down going into verse 15 canaan was the father of sidon his firstborn and the hittites and jebusites amorites gergosites hittites architects sinites arvadites zamorites and hamathev hamath haemathetites hemethites hematites is what it looks like hematites later the canaanite clan scattered and the borders of canaan reached from sidon toward gira as far as gaza and then towards sodom and gomorrah do you see the lineage of what the offspring of ham produce nineveh was that city that was an enemy of god's people that jonah had to go to it was that city that god had to reach out of their darkness and and he called jonah to go to nineveh to pull them out and help them realize the case where they were living in and the particular situations you've got to change the way you're living and so we know the story of jonah he didn't want to do that of course he went ran and god got this big old fish and swallowed him up and forced him yeah we know all that story okay but it's that same nineveh yes it's that same sodom and gomorrah where lot chose to pitch his tent and said no i'm gonna go ahead and i'm gonna stay over here in sodom and gomorrah and we know later it was that city where the angels of the lord came and there were the men of the city wanting to bring those men out of the house to have sexual relations with them and those angels departed and lot his wife and two girls ran away and god sent a meteor down to destroy that city because of their sin and that curse that was running rampant in their lives jezebel comes from the same lineage nimrod you think oh that's a good one you know yeah nimrod he's great look at him he's the one that's the mighty hunter before the lord it's a great title that sounds great mighty hunter before the lord he's also the same guy responsible for the tower of babel he's also the same god that proclaimed himself to be baal he was immortal i'm baal i can build babylon i can build babel the tower you know how nimrod's life ended shem his great uncle said he's not immortal there's only one true living god he went down and killed nimrod cut him up to a bunch of pieces and sent all those pieces around the world showing he was not immortal such was the end of nimrod but from nimrod comes the descendants including one of them being jezebel jezebel the spirit jezebel the the hater of god's people jezebel the killer of the lord's prophets jezebel the one that was solely responsible for wiping out almost all the prophets of the living god except for that small voice of elijah who would run and hide and about a hundred other prophets that escaped the hand and the sword of jezebel but this spirit right now in this world is running rampant the spirit of jezebel and rebellion is stronger than ever before in our world it's the very thing that is propelling the propaganda and the different things that we're seeing unfold before us it's the very thing sending its attack upon the church is the spirit of rebellion and the spirit of jezebel saying no no i'm not going to let the church rise but the church has to stop the people of god must be silenced the voice of god must be silenced you know what jezebel wants to do really is this spirit wants to silence your voice why because your voice represents the voice of god in this world and if he can silence you in this world then he can silence the voice of god in this world but that's where i gotta stand as a believer full of faith and say oh no i'm not gonna let anything silence me i'm not gonna let anything stop me i will proclaim the word of the lord to this world i'm gonna do all that i can to be the mouthpiece of god almighty and let him bring change and transformation to somebody else's life jezebel this incredibly powerful queen the dog the witch and the enabler we've already talked about the witch you got that figured out that's jezebel she's the witch but let me put this out there that there would be no jezebel or she would not be nearly effective as what she was if there was no ahab because it was the king who had all authority it was the king that that he was oh yeah i'm the king of whatever i say goes but ahab being such a weak king gave over his authority to his wife and rather than stopping his wife from murdering all the prophets of god he enabled her and gave her the means to do so if it wouldn't have been for ahab jezebel would not been as powerful or as accomplished as she was but ahab was the enabler and so if there's a jezebel active in your life there's a spirit of jezebel and rebellion active in your heart guess what if you don't stop it you become an enabler messiah can you help me good luck what does this enabler look like how do i enable or not enable this spirit in my life because here's the fact of the matter jezebel will only do as much as you allow her to jezebel will only do as much as you say okay go for it here you go go ahead have your way sure i'm i'm not going to pray about it sure i'm not going to fast about it sure i'm just going to let you do what you want to do and if you don't say anything just by you not saying anything shows that you're in agreement with that spirit and you're enabling that spirit to be active in your life in your life and in your family i'm here to tell you some parents today that if you have rebellion going on in your home you're battling against the spirit of jezebel if there's rebellion in my heart and any unresolved sin that i keep hanging on to that i'm not willing to surrender to god then i have jezebel operating within me because the very root and foundation of jezebel is lucy come here lucy come here lucy it's okay uh-oh come here lucy come here baby girl come on come here come here come here come here there you go there you go there you go oh that's your baby it's a cute baby i got it yeah i took you baby that's a cute baby yes are you glad to be inside the church you glad to be in the church in jesus name right now god while we can lord touch her in jesus name now what does this enabler look like okay because right now lucy is one years old she is a puppy she thinks she's a lap dog don't you she's actually very well behaved right now i'm so proud of you you're doing so good and so as long as i keep her in check and i am holding on to this leash i'm not going to enable her or allow her to go do her own thing i'm keeping her in check i'm making her lucy hey good girl pause pause good girl good girl good girl good girl you said your good girl i forgot the treats this morning i'm so sorry and so as long as i am hanging on to her she's gonna hopefully do what i say i'm not enabling her bad behavior right now oh my goodness you take her for a walk yeah she's gonna be walking you but as soon as i let go of this leash guess what i'm doing i'm going to enable her to do whatever she wants to do she may find her place to go use a restroom out there somewhere in the audience she may find somebody to go and lick and give some kisses to and she may go find somebody and scare you half to death i mean there's no telling what she would and could potentially do if i let go of the leash but as long as i hang onto the leash she's going to stay where she needs to be you see this is the way the spirit of jezebel operates in your life as long as you contain it and you control it and you say no not in my home not in my home it's not going to do anything it's not going to be able to even touch you it's just going to lie down but as soon as you let go all of a sudden now everybody's on edge now everybody's like oh no what are we going to do now he's like everybody's like ah what do we do what do we do the bear is loose somebody get that horse what do you do once you let go of the control that you have and you've been keeping the spirits at bay in your home but what happens when you relinquish that control and you no longer keep them at bay you no longer keep them in their place you no longer call them out for what they are you see a lot of times uh spirits they continue because we don't call them out and in fact do you know what happens to a spirit that you allow in your home you know what happens that spirit gets a little comfortable and they get so comfortable they go out and find some buddies the bible says went and found seven other spirits came back and dwelt in the house without one spirit if we allow these spirits active in our homes guess what they're going to stay in our homes they're going to be right there and say oh yeah this is this is a good place we like this place but if you'll stand and not be an enabler and say i'm not going to allow these spirits in my life i'm not going to allow these spirits in my home i want god's spirit in me to be strengthened and grow the spirits of this age will not make it into your family and you will be victorious over the spirits of this age but you cannot enable the spirits that are trying to live in your home would you invite somebody over to your house and say please come into my house and rape this person go ahead my house is opened come in would anybody here do that but you're watching shows that do that would you let somebody come in your house say hey come over here and murder your purse you got the hit list come on over i'll supply the party and everything i'll get out the drinks i'll get out the chips we'll have a good old time why don't you just come over and just murder them i'll set it up for you anybody do that but you allow it in your home by the things you set before your eyes why don't you just come over to my house and say all the nastiest curse words you can think of just come on over i'll look forward to it i'll invite you in and you can you can say this and that and every other thing you want to say you're welcome to it come on in but let me cover up the ears of my children may not invite them in but you're watching things that's bringing it in you see these spirits not only associate with people but they associate with the principalities of the air meaning they don't need a person to attach to to move meaning they can attach themselves to a movie or something you're watching and they can come through that device that you're watching on and enter into your home there was a situation in the church and one of the one of the daughters was depressed and the father came to me trying to figure out why is she depressed i said well there's probably something in the house where the spirit is hanging on to it and you have to find out what it is and he said well she's really afraid of the closet she says there's a spirit in the closet and she's really afraid depressed about the closet but there's nothing in there i've checked and checked and checked i said let's pray you pray about it and god will reveal to you what it is that is in your home that's causing your daughter depression and so he was praying about it and he felt led that on the other side of that closet is a tv screen and he was watching law and order and when he put the two and two together he said oh my goodness what i've been watching has been allowing spirits into my home and it's been affecting my children now what's law and order i mean it's just detective stuff it's harmless right she's law in order as soon as he turned off that show and not no longer allowed it into his home that depression left you have to be careful what you allow into your home what kind of spirits are you willing to entertain what kind of spirits are you enabling what kind of spirits are you saying oh yeah sure just come on and live any way you want to live just come on into my home i'm open i'm available no vacancy oh no there's vacancy i thought there was no vacancy i was at church yesterday but uh no there's vacancy i have some areas of my life that i still am allowing these spirits to reside in and live in and the spirits will only stay as long as you enable them if ahab would not have enabled jezebel we would see a much different outcome i guarantee it but because ahab enabled we see a completely different outcome and if you're enabling spirits in your life if you're enabling spirits in your home those spirits will enter in and wreak havoc you see then it's not the spirit's fault she's talking you know every time i walk into the garage and i'm getting ready to feed her do you know what she does she goes [Music] just like chewbacca you want to come back up here with me you want to come up here with me wanna come up here with me okay okay come on up here with me okay oh no where you going come on this way lucy lucy lucy lucy there you go [Applause] so here's what i've got to learn to do i've got to learn how to not enable the spirits that are trying to get into my home the very first step to not be an enabler is don't allow it to begin with in the first place the very first step you're not going to do this it's not going to happen the very first step is you are not an enabler they are not in my home are you hungry are you thirsty i could take you back out to the backyard but you're just gonna be barking a little back there too i know i know okay okay okay there you go i'll just sit here with you and make you feel happy you know you happy now you happy now baby girl b [Music] hey hey just sit lucy sit sit there you go there you go so i've got to get this place to where i do not even let the spirits in at all don't even give opportunity to it the very first thing is you have to close it down so the one tell sign that you're enabling is really the shows and things that you're allowing in your home that's seriously the very first step is if you don't want these spirits active in your life stop watching what you're watching that's true that's true i mean they're there because you're allowing them in you're allowing them entrance bishop used to preach that hollywood was the false prophet remember preaching that sounds good [Applause] he used to preach that hollywood's a false prophet well hey you know hollywood will be used of the devil if they allow it and certain things that you would never allow in your home satan works his way in by a couple gray areas and say no no that's okay it's not a big deal it's just a show you're just watching you're not participating in it you're not actively involved with that spirit it's okay is it are you enabling it i will challenge you that any spirit that goes unchecked and that you allow in your home you begin to enable it just by allowing it in you begin to enable the spirits to activate in your home and you wonder why are you dealing with depression why are your children addicted to pornography why because you've allowed spirits into your home and when you don't block it and you don't create the boundaries and you don't put the spirits in their place guess what they're going to do whatever they want to do they're going to wreak havoc they're going to do whatever they want if you let them roam free they will roam free you want them i don't want any of those spirits in my home why because i'm protecting my home not just for myself and my wife but for my children so i got to be careful i got to catch myself what am i allowing myself to watch what kind of advertisement comes across when you're watching youtube what is sneaking in to your home you're not sneaking in no you're so cute though she's a good dog she really is yeah yeah i know i know you got your drool all over me now that's just so great don't antagonize her see my goodness sit lucy sit hey no now you're getting distracted yeah you want to you want to take her come take your daughter love lucy go with mommy there there's papo you like her you like him too there you go bye lucy you such a good doggie pull up there we go now i knew it would be a hard thing bringing lucy to church but that's the example the lord gave me i tried thinking of other things and it just would not come and if i'm not careful i will become the enabler i don't want to be and those spirits will activate in your life in your home and you don't even realize it you have to call them out you have to put them in their place you have to recognize them you have to recognize that there's something going on in your home in your family you sense depression the spirit of depression is active in your home somewhere why i'm not going to enable it so i've got to figure out where it's coming from and what it is so it can be dealt with so i can call it out you have to call it out for what it is i'll guarantee you that you the only way that you can overcome the spirits of this age is with the spirit that overcomes all spirits which is the holy spirit so if you want deliverance over the spirits of this age you want deliverance over depression oppression jezebel rebellion perversion anger you want freedom and victory over these spirits then what you've got to do is seek the spirit of god to help you overcome the spirits of this age because without his spirit and without his assistance we cannot overcome the spirits of this age them out recognize them and then cast them out by allowing them to be there you become an enabler i was 15 years old a lot of things happened when i was 15. i was 15. the youth group we were heavily involved in spiritual warfare during this season we were praying a lot dealing with a lot of spiritual warfare and one night i was laying in my bed and i woke up and there were three spirits that presented themselves in my room i'll never forget i had a twin size bed i was on a twin size bed so it was tiny and i had one spirit on my left a tiny spirit you know there was a big spirit at the end and then a tiny spirit here on my right medium-sized big and tiny and so i had been involved in spiritual warfare so i knew what to do very first thing i said was identify yourself because i want to know who it is i'm going to be dealing with identify yourself so the spirit on my left the middle side says i'm oppression the spirit on the end says i'm depression the biggest one who said i'm depression and the littlest one over here on my right said i'm jezebel wow so i had done no research on jezebel when i was 15 i had no idea what i was dealing with had i done the research that i've done now and i had i know what i was dealing with i probably would have engaged them but rather than engaging these spirits do you know what i said i said you guys go and do what you got to do you can't touch me and i went to bed but here's the thing about spirits if you don't engage them and you don't call them out they will pick on the weakest person in the place where they're allowed to stay so my mother extremely physically weak they found her and began to prey on her depression oppression and jezebel had i known then what i know now had somebody presented me with the information i'm presenting you with today i would have engaged those spirits and i would have cast them out i would not have allowed them to stay in the home but without even knowing it i became an enabler an enabler of spirits just by allowing them to be present if you're not careful hear me today if you're not careful you've got spirits in your homes and if you allow them to go unchecked if you allow them to continue to do what they're doing in your family you will become an enabler and those spirits will grow and magnify into a place to where you have no idea how it happened some of your lives and some families are falling apart why because you have too much world in your family we need more of jesus in our families and less of the world in our families because satan more than ever is attacking the family he's attacking families one right after the other and if i have more world in my family than i have the presence of jesus i'm already losing the battle so for the family today what's the call today go home and clean house go home and look for those things that those spirits find their way into your home through what shows are you watching change what you're watching change what you're allowing in change how much of it you're allowing in don't be an enabler because if you're an enabler guess what those spirits that you don't want they will grow and magnify and then before you know it your family's all falling apart and you have no idea why it's because you've allowed spirits to go unchecked you haven't put jesus in the center of your life in the center of your heart in the center of your home but i gotta put jesus in the center of my home so he can help me overcome the things that this world is trying to force within me and within my family if you want to have power over the things that you're battling with you want to have power over the sin that continues to distract and destroy then you need more of god's spirit in your life you want victory over your depression you know you want to do you want to do the drugs and you want to do the the stuff that the psychologist wants to give you i mean hey that's sure that's your own prerogative but hey you got to recognize that you may be battling something in your mind it may also be a spirit you may be battling a spirit and not even realizing but the only way you're going to discover this is if you have the spirit of god living inside of you to grant you greater wisdom than you have to grant you greater understanding than you have so if you don't have the holy ghost today today is the perfect opportunity because god wants you to live in victory he doesn't want you living in defeat he doesn't want you living bound but he wants you living free and if you want that freedom the gateway to that freedom is through god's spirit living inside of you the gateway to that freedom is allowing god inside of your life letting him enter in and letting it come forth as the sign of speaking in another language that god gives you want a fresh start you want to be able to overcome the curses in your life and the curses that seem to always be there and you can't overcome them it's just over and over and over again the same distractions the same problems you want to overcome the curses it's time you change your narrative and you change who has dominion in your life and so it's time for you to pick up and say no no i'm going to get baptized in jesus name for the remission of my sins i'm going to become a brand new preacher i'm not going to be who i was before but now i'm going to step out and i'm going to be who god has called me to be i'm going to be victorious in jesus name man if we can all stand in this place musicians are coming some in this room are bound by spirits because you have allowed them to be present with you it's time for those of us to say no no no no no longer are these spirits welcome with me no longer am i going to enable these spirits in my home and my family and my mind i'm not going to allow them to be present any longer if you want the holy ghost today and you want the power to overcome the spirits that are battling you and trying to really destroy you and you can't figure out why you're depressed you can't figure out why you're oppressed you can't figure out why you just are always battling you want victory over that you can receive the holy ghost today and god's spirit can give you the victory but you've got to activate your faith and say yes god i want victory today i'm tired of dealing with this stuff i'm going to activate what you're doing inside of me and i'm going to move forward i'm not going to let these spirits active in my life in my home any longer but if you want the holy ghost today i'm going to ask for the altar team here that are that are going to lead you through the process of repentance and into your own experience with god as he fills you with his spirit and so if you want the holy ghost today i'm going to give you first invitation to come to this altar you got the first invitation before anybody else to come down to this altar and say yes i want the holy ghost in my life i want jesus in my life i want power the bible says that you receive power after that the holy ghost comes upon you and so the reason why you can't overcome is because you're powerless without god's spirit and so if you need that power to overcome you can activate your faith and come to this altar and say yes i want the holy ghost today i need the holy ghost in my life i want jesus to be present in me i don't want him to ever leave me i want him with me every day every moment i need the lord present in me and if you want to get baptized today you want to say god i want to be a new creature god i want a fresh start on life you need a fresh start today jesus gives a fresh start to jesus gives the brand new life and so when you get baptized in jesus name for the remission of sins you step into this place of newness you are a brand new creature who you once were you no longer are who you once battled with you're now victorious [Music] because god gives you the power to overcome and now if you want victory in your home and in your life this is where it's going to get a little bit more complicated because you got to activate your faith you got to let the spirits that you've been battling know that no you're not welcome in here no more you're not going to be in my mind no more you're not going to be my heart no more you're not going to be in my spirit no more this is done today this ends i'm over it i'm over of the battle i'm done with the battle i invite you forward right now activate your faith and say yes i'm going to respond i'm not gonna continue in the battles that i've been in i'm not gonna let these spirits continue to stop me and hinder me and move in my life and just reign freely i'm not gonna do this but i am going to reach out to god and i'm gonna let him give me the power and the ability to overcome the spirits that are constantly plaguing my mind [Music] we are praying earlier the word of the lord came to me and told me there are individuals in this room battling a spirit of rebellion and the reason why they're battling a spirit of rebellion is because they have enabled it in their mind they've enabled it in their home they've enabled it in their spirit but if somebody today will stop enabling the spirit of rebellion you will no longer have this rebellion in your home but as long as you continue to enable it the spirit of rebellion will move freely and will destroy what you're working so hard to keep together and so right now if you'll activate your faith if every family member just activates your faith and lift up your hands right now god is about ready to do a work right now jesus is about ready to bring liberty and bring freedom and bring victory i'm no longer going to be an enabler i'm no longer going to be somebody that allows satan just to move into my home and moving my family but i'm gonna be somebody to stand for righteousness [Music] is [Music] god break it every day give me is break every shade break every day me jesus there is power in the name of jesus there is there's an army [Music] you
