[Music] how the world has changed since the advent of the kovit 19 pandemic right we really are living in a new season of of human history really is we have been plunged into a new era and and today god has very very pertinent and relevant things he want to tell us urgently wants to instruct us about and we want to hear his heartbeat so i want to invite you to pray with me yeah let's let's commit this to the lord because bible says it takes the spirit of god to reveal to us what god is saying to us what jesus is revealing to us so let us pray heavenly father we want to honor you and honor your presence in our midst right now we also want to honor your presence with every brother and sister who is tuning into this program right now through this sharing of the word lord let the presence engulf envelope surround and saturate us in the name of jesus we need your presence more than ever before and in these very dark times lord we know your presence is like the pillar of cloud that will lead us by day and the pillar of fire that leads us by night lord lead us in the way that we should go that we may not depart from it where your children lord come and accomplish your purposes and divine will through us in such a way that your kingdom be extended in this hour your name be known jesus be lifted up and the nations be saved use us we pray bless bless the sharing of your word this morning bless and equip enable empower your people to be used by you as instruments of revival in your hands thank you god thank you god thank you lord for all of this in a wonderful name of our lord and savior jesus christ we pray and all of god's people shout amen amen amen if there be if there be a generation the people need to know how to enter into god's protection and to stay there it is this generation and it is now it is now and this is what i want to speak about this morning about god's divine protection i want to share something very very practical about how we can walk in god's divine protection not just not just you you and a whole household we have been faced with such exponentially increased threats and harm since the advent of the covet 19 and we we know that things will only get more challenging in the days ahead because our lord jesus has already warned us that it will be like birth pangs when you see the beginning of the shaking it's not the end yet it's only the beginning of the end he describes it as like birth pangs you know birth pangs means it will increase in frequency as well as intensity as we near the birth of the baby right and so the bible forewarned us that before our lord jesus comes it will be like birth pangs worldwide calamities global disasters that will come upon the world we we know that the scripture has already warned us because god wants us his people to be equipped empowered to be to know how to navigate in the very troubled waters of the head we're expecting according to the scripture we're expecting epidemics more epidemics up ahead and pandemics we know that there will be economic chaos meltdown collapse there will be political crisis there will be environmental disasters the breakdown of marriage family all these are manifestations also of demonic onslaught against against the world against god's people deception on a global scale the bible already falls on us and you know what people they are already now staring us in the face they are already now right before us happening right under our noses right now do you know do you know they've already started do you know that the the bible has already predicted this thousands of years ago and this is the moment that we must rise we must rise to it you know i i'm still amazed you know as a as a teacher of the world as a prophetic ministry we tend to be pretty futuristic you know and i know this is a the culture that is in this house too you know you can sense what is upcoming and you preach about it pastor stephen is a very dear friend of mine whom i know is a mighty man of god a prophet of the lord and he has also spoken very in a very futuristic way of many things that must happen and i'm sure in this next statement i'm going make he resonates with me and he agrees with me that we even as prophetic teachers and preachers having in their sense predicted what's gonna happen we see a a futuristic picture of the of the of the fulfillment of god's word about the end times but even that i want to say that i'm amazed at what is happening around the world all of a sudden things are happening in such accelerated pace the fulfillment of eschatological scripture of of the end time i'm amazed like even though i've been talking about it preaching about a certain thing that must take place and all that but now that this suddenly is taking place all over it's i'm still i'm still quite stunned that suddenly the acceleration is so dramatic do you know this covered 19 is a very dramatic milestone of eschatology of things that must happen before jesus comes and you know there has been such a exponential increase of the fulfillment of signs that the lord has forewarned us about i'm still i'm still amazed by you know fellowshipping with some fellow ministers recently i was just still talking about like the sense of like oh you know like it's right before us how can people say that the bible is not true when it is so it's so accurate to the dot what is happening in around the world and and because the bible has already forewarned us not only we do not have the fear god's intention is that we are prepared for them and we lay hold of of the opportunities that is before us right now presented by the advent of all these events in the world amen and that's that's what god intends for us to know for the people of the world who do not know the biblical narrative of what is really happening for them who do not know what god is saying you know what they would not know how to respond rightly to what is happening around the world right now there will be as bible predicted and foretold there will be those who who will be so fearful and distressed which is already happening huh by the way do you know divorce rates have shot up do you know that the uh suicide rate has shot up around the world depression and mental deterioration is shot up just over the last couple of months alone in an unprecedented way for people who do not know what god is doing and saying and forewarn us about they would not know how to respond brightly and that's why many are given over to fear and stress and which the bible foretold bible describe them as those who would whose hearts would fail them for fear right our lord warn us and then there will also be those in the world right now that the bible tells us they will be ignorant of what is happening and even non-children of the calamities that would befall the world so the bible described them as partying and engaging rivalry eating and drinking marrying and given in marriage our lord jesus himself foretold of such a generation of and of such people that would just ignore all the signs of his coming and these are all the wrong response to the to the times that we live in but what about we believers how shall we live in such a time as this for those who do not know what god is doing and what he's saying to his people you know what they will respond in a way that is no different from those without god and unfortunately there are many believers like that right now if you do not know what god is saying then you know what you will be exactly like the world you respond the same way you will be stressed you'll be fearful their believers are so fearful and that's why they don't go to church there are those who don't go to church of course for valid reasons you know but i know that many will do not go to jews because they are in fear they will not come out of their house they're stressed you know they do not want to meet people they excessively fearful you know it's good to be careful but not to be fearful and distressed and that's because they do not understand what god already told us and god's promises of protection of what he wants to do in and through us in these challenging times and so if you do not know what god is saying you'll be like the world you'll be stressed you'll be fearful oh or there are there are also those like the world being nonchalant and ignorant of what is happening and they just feel like they just think ah everything will go back to the same old same old oh we'll be fine and we will go back to the to the good old days we will not i i i i'm utterly convinced that this covenant 19 pandemic it's a major sign of an acceleration into the days that hebrews chapter 12 tells us about the days of great shaking and you can see many things that are being shaken right now god say everything that can be shaken will be shaken and and this is this is just the beginning of the birth pangs quote unquote and believers need to know how to respond the way god has instructed us of course there are also believers and i believe many of us are believers like that which i'm going to describe we do have a sense of what is happening because we have in one way or other we have received teaching or information about the second coming of christ we are there are many believers also that are aware of the second coming of christ to some degree and and they also know or hear about the prophesied troubled times they must precede this coming unfortunately many of these who know also of the return of our lord they have also been taught that it will all be fine it will all just be sweet and dandy you know you because because we'll just all be raptured out of this place before any trouble begins and and that and yeah do you don't you agree that many believers will understand that no you know nothing to think about because uh we'll just be whisk away in the rapture and that and that there is no confrontation no challenges that we have to face because we'll just be taken out of this place people that itself also is a deception it's a deception that that the cripples and this empowers people from knowing how to respond rightly that itself is a deception now i'm not here to discuss whether we are pre trip meet three posters [Music] i'm not asking us to sing tribulate people tribulate no i'm not celebrating tribulation you know i'm not you know but i do know though that the bible reveals to us there is a time of confrontation there's a time where we enforce his will on earth as it is in heaven there's a time for us to prove that the salvation work of christ is far more far more efficacious far more powerful than the destructive work of satan there is a time of confrontation it's an overcomers war the overcomers war we have to overcome all the seven times that the law say to him who overcome to him who overcome to him who overcomes who we are the one that overcome because it is it is it is necessary that the church meet confront and overcome the works of satan to prove that the salvation of work of christ is really far more powerful than the work of satan amen amen we're not just going to be whisked away without the testimony of the superiority of our lord amen and in this confrontation it is the manifestation of the clash of the kingdoms god's kingdom is emerging in this hour and we are the ones paving the way extending his reign and rule for the world to see there's a superior king there's a superior kingdom and his name is jesus jesus and so god wants us to know and to rise up to the occasion in this hour unfortunately as i said people who who do not understand the biblical narrative or understand the twisted form of the biblical narrative they are actually disempowered from being able to live triumphantly in this hour i didn't intend to share this but i need to put this in there are churches in the world right now people more than you you realize they actually subscribe to one degree or or another of the teaching of preterism i did not intend to share this so i i want to qualify you're aware what is preterism people who actually believe that tribulation has already happened 80 70 is already happening jesus has already come they believe that he's already raining in the millennium the the the through the church right now he's raining well if he is he's not doing a very good job is he you know over the world you know there are do you know and i can name you some really famous names right now in groupings even among charismatic circle they believe in that that you are not aware of and i'm so stunned to realize that over the last few months as i observed their teaching they actually like no it's you know don't worry because with the church people who believe pre-terrorism you know pre-terrorism preterist means i have eaten my lunch you know that's preterist all right so preterism is everything has already taken place do you know and he has gained such traction in the body of christ in recent years they say there's no chaos no problem no tribulation the church will just get more and more glorious more and more glorious and so they you know what i realized over the last couple of months watching these groups and i'm very sure many of you do listen to these groups and ministers and ministries do a bit of research no over the last couple of months they don't know what to say because many things that has happened and are happening right now are biblical prophecies of the coming shaking which to them is already over so they don't know how to respond so churches like for example in the u.s especially the democratic state you know like like like minnesota michigan especially california or new york you know all this their brand christian meetings indefinitely don't even talk about it meantime you know what stays open as essential services liquor store abortion clinics walmarts and supermarkets all fine even protests you can meet by the thousands you know and loot and and riot it's okay it's essential but christians knows no meeting is that persecution yes but you know what churches they do not understand this is as persecution they they just they say oh just just obey the king and authority and and then they they seek grounds they they hand up hand their freedom surrender their rights without questioning because why i'm trying to tell you this an erroneous doctrine would disempower god's people not being able to identify what the enemy is doing and that is why it's happening right now and it is it is it is really worrying because and i noticed that i as i said i did not actually plan to share this so but i just need to put this in if you if you believe wrongly you will live wrongly if you are twisted in your eschatology you will be disempowered from being able to do the very thing god said you must do especially in the last days if it's if really we have do not have anything we need to take note of and live in a different way in the last days then god would not tell us so many very specific instructions directed at the last last days generation the bible is full of it but as i said those who do not have the biblical narrative or the the prophetic inside you know they will live no different from from the rest of the world but that is itself as i said an erroneous response and and a sign of demonic deception because if that was so that there's no difference oh there will just be whisk away or there's no more problem in the world whether it be preterism or this escapism then god would not have told us for example those living the last days he says do not stop gathering with the saints specifically for the last day by the way in this hebrews 10 25 right do not stop do not forsake the assembly of the saints or do not stop gathering with god's people especially as you see the day approaching they're very specific instruction about last days god tells us that uh uh of that generation at the end in troubled times he said be extra watchful and to pray be watchful you say watch and pray in those times be especially careful or our lord jesus said watch out for the false prophets for the false messiahs that will come in my name and they'll offer you ways of salvation remedies to your problem and to take away your faith in your legions this is a very specific instruction of the lord and he even say you need to discern the time and the season of his return right jesus say you may not know the exact day and hour but you can know the season if you watch the fig tree it's instruction for us to understand the season especially the last day generation so there are a lot i mean we can go through many many scriptures that god forewarned us about the last days so so that's why it is very disempowering when you receive teaching that that that promotes escapism or promotes preterism that oh it's all happened that we know there'll be no difficulty up ahead and you know what i am aware of large or vast sections of the body of christ that are deceived even right now and it's very alarming very alarming you know and and really during the shaking things are revealed and exposed no wonder god says in the shaking everything that can be shaken will be shaken every evil everything not aligned with his with him and his kingdom and his righteousness will be exposed and it's what is happening right now and if even exposing that which is in the house of god the errors the wrong teaching and perverted you know doctrines and all is also being exposed so there are many things that are happening right now people many things are happening right now so be sober and alert again another end time exhortation right be sober and alert and watch and pray all right because many things are happening right now and we want to see things through god's eyes and to have his perspective so we know how to behave rightly we know how to conduct ourselves in a way that's aligned with him and his and his and his kingdom agenda amen i mean as we can see by now there are very specific things that those in the last day generation are to be aware of in all in order to be able to walk in god's divine protection and to be able to accomplish his will and purposes so i want to zoom in on this today all right i want to zoom in specifically on how we we uh we can draw upon god upon god's divine protection over us over our household in such times as this how to walk in god's protection all right so i titled this uh message walking in god's protection all right now so with that i want to bring you to the first scripture of this session in matthew chapter 24. okay do i press here now it's on or off and on again matthew 24 4 and jesus answered and said to them take heed that no one deceives you no no what is this context let me say let me let me remind us the disciples of jesus came to him and asked him one day for the sign of the end they were asking for one sign actually but our lord i mean he gave them many many signs which will not go through all of them but i just want us to know that his first response to that the first sign that he gave is about deception all right jesus answered and said to them take heed that no one deceives you for many will come in my name saying i am the christ and will deceive many and you will hear wars and rumors of wars see that you are not trouble for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet all right so so i highlighted just two elements out of this scripture for now that we want to take note of we are to one guard against deception that's the number one instruction of our lord regarding the end times regarding the last days we want to guard against deception and two we must not be given over to fear so you can tell what is the the key thing that is happening right now deception and a lot of fear do you know there's a lot of deception happening right now i can only share as much as this expedient in this setting you can buy me coffee on the side we can talk more there is such pervasive and blatant deception right now perpetuated by satan in the world today to cause the world to to not believe in god ultimately that's the goal and to even make christians abandon their faith in christ such deception is so blatant is amazing and and it's happening on a global scale now scripture warns us that during such time even the elects will be deceived to turn away from their faith from the christian faith specifically elect referring to people who whom we thought are leaders of the faith they you know there might be preachers and teachers themselves or pastors or mega churches or or authors you know or books you know what people if you if you do read the news at all and follow the trend and know what's happening all these are already happening just in recent times right you know some really prominent people in christendom have left the faith they officially renounce their faith just recent time authors of famous books i kiss dating goodbye or you know and all the famous books they denounce the faith and they have chosen alternate lifestyles and and other religions that can condone with the lifestyle they have chosen and things like that in recent times very troubling right but yet it's not surprising because the word of god has already warned us that even the elects will be deceived and that's why today i want to talk about this how can we be protected you know from from even from deceptions that even he likes will be given over to i i have this to say about the kobe 19 pandemic i have this to say and i said just now i will keep it very expedient so you must read between the lines and extrapolate from there i'll tell you about this pandemic there are globalist powers right now that means people who are working in tandem and uh together to to manipulate and to push the world towards a one world government that's why they call globalists there's no national identity it's just one big global village all right it's basically one world government all right there are globalists right now working furiously working together actively using this pandemic to cease power to cease control over the masses using fear using deception exactly what our lord has forewarned us a lot of deception that produces a lot of fear it's an age old tactic that is very effective though for power grab and it's happening right before our eyes right now on a global scale all this fear all these things even about the pandemic all this you know okay i'll just use empirical data that is available to us so you can't fault me for that just look at the rate in singapore for example we have like 27 deaths right now we have like 58 000 uh to be infected because we keep passing keep testing other countries around us they don't test i know what's happening around us my brethren you know we are in constant communication they don't test so they don't know the number all right so if you do not test and you just go by the people who die and say oh this is kobe and do not have the real figure how many have been infected you do not know the fatality rate so your fatality rate will be very high so the more you test is consistent around the world the more a community test and then compare the people of people the number of people who die from it then the the the fatality rate keep plunging keep lunging singapore we have been quite diligent to do testing it's so singaporean all right we do it right so to say and you know we're 27 there 58 000 infectious infected so far and you know what what is that just based on this and this is not all that is infected it's just we do the testing if anyway our rate right now that rate 0.0467 something like that at the moment is less than half of a percentage point no no no no no not half sorry less than half of the debt rate of influenza common fluid is 0.1 about all right so where 0.0467 something somewhere there right now it's less than half of the common flu fatality and common flu is 0.1 why are we not locking down the whole world's economy overflow why are we not enforcing a mandatory vaccination over there but now oh life will not go back to normal until we all have a flu after have to have that vaccination there's a whole lot more happening people do your own reading and you realize very blatant things are happening be very watchful my brothers and sisters very discerning right now and pray and pray and god will show you things that will cause you to rely and god wants you to partner with him to change world events through prayer and intercession amen i mean be very watchful people many believers think you know i want to say this you know many people many believers think that you know when jesus warned us about false prophets and messiahs you know that they must come in the package of anointed speaker or charismatic preacher some kind of famous religious figure you know and then they they lead us astray with a wrong teaching and these are these are the false prophets and the false messiah you know what i can tell you well they might be false prophets and messiah may take on the persona we cannot preclude that or we cannot exclude that but i'm telling you this now listen good now what i can tell you is this right now as it is the most anointed false prophets anointed sir to say huh false prophets and false messiahs are already in operation and deceiving the world over including many christians who who do not know they have already been deceived they are already at work they're already deceiving the world over and we do not know we're eating the lies and we're looking out for the false prophets and messiahs they're already at work you know who they are the fake news and the lying media controlled by very dark powers behind them at the international level the pain falls narratives and and and and propaganda they advance they advance some very diabolical agendas very nefarious strategies and plans already they're taking place they suppress truths and perpetuate lies they prophesy doom and gloom to create fear and panic then they offer their solutions and remedies the same people who created the problems are the ones now offering the solutions and the world in a state of fear are looking to them for salvation for cures for solution like they are the messiahs do they not fit the picture of what our lord described as false prophets and messiahs think about it think about it because when you create fear as i said it is a ho tactic that's very effective when you create fear people in the state of fear are very ready to surrender rights and freedom without questioning or thinking with they just you know and that is classic that is age ho and that is effective and i'm and we are watching it right before our eyes i was uh recently [Music] fellowshipping with a german minister of mine a good friend a mentor and he told me this he said you know what john i'm amazed he said we germans are the most freedom-loving and freedom-guarding people because we have made mistakes before he said but with the coffee 19. he said i am surprised we are all at home obedient in scared surrendered rights and freedom and everything without questioning you see i cannot believe what i'm watching what i'm seeing with my own countrymen we are the most fiercely guarding with regards to your rights and freedom and you know and yet the moment that they use this fear issue eye they get home obeying exactly what you know they're told to do he said i am amazed and i tell you people we got to be discerning and then we got to pray all right we got to pray god wants you to partner with him as you see all this he wants you to partner with him because this is what is happening on a global scale right now before our eyes and under our noses and people don't even see it including christians and so i quickly i haven't started yet this just intro okay let me let me gotta go into the the main thing right now why why am i called here to do all right how do we keep from falling into fear and deception in the last days that our lord jesus warned us about how do we live free and stay safe in the midst of worldwide shaking and global calamities in that is happening and it will increase in the days ahead so this morning i want to share something very practical but very powerful of how we can walk in divine protection we can walk in god's protection not only for ourselves in this troubled times but also for our whole family amen are you ready all right now with that let us go into the book of revelation revelations all right uh someone got to help me get this thing going all right please help me activate it yeah all right oh oh oh it's working now okay okay rival revelations chapter 12 verse 10 then i heard a loud voice in heaven say now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our god and the authority of his christ for the accuser of our brothers who accuses them before god day and night has been hurled down they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony now there are many things we can say and teach about protection divine protection but today i just want to zoom in on these two powerful elements that the scripture reveals to us how believers might live triumphantly in the last days overcoming satan who is described as accuser of the brethren the two key elements given by god for us in the last days to live in victory over him over over the wicked one is the blood and the word now this will mean a lot to you especially in the days ahead so i want you to take this into your heart the blood and the word and to be even more specific is how to plead the blood and to declare the word notice that the word is to be a testimony it has to be spoken it has to be declared all right so we then we'll go into the first element now let me get into the first element maybe you can help me click yeah the first element is plea pleading the blood all right click for me or just now the subtitle pleading the blood up yep what does it mean to plead the blood now the two elements of blood and the word pleading the blood and declaring the word all right what does it mean to plead the blood i'm sure many of us have heard this expression right or we plead the war you know when we pray especially we say we plead the blood of jesus for example believers pray father we we plead the blood of jesus over the situation it's valid it's very i want to and i want to explain what it truly means because many believers do not exactly know what it means when you do not know what it means then really it becomes just a superstitious act of reciting some religious words and formulas thinking yes some kind of magical power all right or we pray we declare that our household we are under the blood of jesus and the devil cannot touch us if you understand the meaning of what you just said you have no idea of the kind of power you just tap into because there is power in the blood and that's why we plead the blood and it's going to be essential in the days ahead how we plead the blood and overcome the wicked ones amen this is not just some some some religious hocus pocus some formulas we recite there is power there is true power in the blood and when we know its meaning and know how to really play the blood we are drawing upon the tremendous power that is in the blood of our lord jesus and what it truly represents it is powerful because the blood testifies to christ's death and resurrection his work of global redemption on the cross that broke the power of sin and hell universally and and brought salvation to mankind eternally that's what the blood testifies to that's what the blood reminds every demonic powers in the in the world what jesus has done and completely obliterated the works of the enemy and that's what the blood represents the same power that saves us is also the power that releases delivers restores human lives as it neutralizes the activities of the demonic and even the weaknesses of the flesh that's the power in the blood the efficacy of applying the blood pleading the blood is best exemplified in the old testament by the passover right and that i've actually preached to you about just several months ago i have briefly touched on the passover and what it means you know to apply the blood so so let us let us go back a little bit and recall because before the 10th and the final play that god was going to release upon the egyptian empire and to smite the egyptian powers that be he told the israelites to take the blood of an unblemished lamb that really represents the future messiah to come right to take the blood and to apply it on their door posts and lintels god told the israelites to do that right just before the tenth and final play and that scripture is recorded in exodus chapter 12. let us take it look at exodus chapter 12 verse 12. on that same night i will pass through egypt and strike down every firstborn both men and animals and i will bring judgment on all the gods of egypt i am the lord the blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are and when i see the blood i will pass over you no destructive plague will touch you when i strike egypt so you see the blood the blood the blood the blood represents the redemptive work of christ actually in the the future messiah at that time it was futuristic and he says the blood when you apply the blood what will it do it does many things that you must be aware of today if you want to plead the blood in a nutshell what was exemplified in that in the situation at the passover was that the blood applied on on the doorway brought them protection brought them preservation brought them deliverance from the death and destruction and set them free from the slavery and bondage to the egyptian masters and oppressors and the powers behind them they made them do that that's the same thing available to you and i today when we understand what the blood represent today when we plead the blood of jesus we're actually tapping on the fullness of what god has given us through christ's sacrifice because blood speaks of his sacrifice his death on the cross is the quintessential symbol of the whole redemptive work of christ so when we plead the blood we're actually claiming what christ what god has given us through christ's sacrifice and to stand in in authority and dominion over all the powers of the enemy of hell this that's the meaning when we plead the blood so when you pray and say i plead the blood you are saying devil i'm claiming upon the full authority that christ that god has vested upon me through the sacrifice of his son and i'm speaking to you in his name now get out i'm not coming against you by my own zeal or intensity i'm coming against you by everything that jesus has done and represent and i'm throwing the full weight of that against you when you plead the blood amen when you pray against the enemy or when you plead the blood praying before god you're saying to god god i'm asking you not based on my or my credit not based on my performance i'm asking you all this based on what jesus deserved for what he went through what he accomplished and the fullness of what he has he has redeemed for me through his sacrifice i'm i'm asking for this this one that's the meaning of pleading the blood it's so powerful when we understand the full meaning of it so you can plead the blood you know over your household you can plead the blood over yourself you know the enemies straight at the mention of the blood of christ because it speaks of their total defeat and obliteration what jesus has done amen and so when we plead the blood that's the meaning of it we cause the full weight of christ and his authority and his accomplishment to bear on the situation plead the blood over your life plead the blood over your children some of us we may have forgotten to do that you know when we got used to it you know as a religious slogan and expression we don't you know today i want to encourage you to go back with a fresh revelation of the weight of them of what it means to play the blood it's going to be very pivotal in the days ahead the last day saints they overcome satan by the blood it is what defeats him amen plead the blood over your family to appropriate god's divine protection play the blood over your children and over your children's children and that no harm and evil can ever come near them i plead the blood over you all in jesus name the full weight of the implication of christ's redemptive work to materialize to be to be made efficacious upon your life in every situation of your life in the name of jesus amen that's pleading the blood now the second element the blood is the first one the element the second element is the word declaring the word it is imperative my brothers and sisters at this time that we that we know the word that we stay in the word and in communion with god daily if you do not want to fall into the deception of the wicked one without god's word you cannot discern you will be flying blind you will be flying blind because the bible tells us that god's word is a lamb onto our feet and a light under a path amen and his spirit is the one who causes this light when we ever read the word the spirit of god works in us so shine to shine his word and instruction into our hearts and that is referring to the revelation of the word to be discerned in our spirit man the holy spirit causes the word to shine in such a way that it becomes relevant god's instruction can be heard on the inside for us to be navigated by him and so that is important the saints in the last day must know how to work the world not just to to plead the blood but to work the world by declaring it do you know the word must not only be known in our hearts it must be declared and be released and be detached be testified of yeah he said he said in the scripture just now right because when you are soaked in the word when the truth saturates your heart it displaces any and every deception of the enemy and we are living in the in the days of deceit of global deception and so the only antidote to lies and deception is truth and truth is is found in the word of god and truth is a person and his name is jesus that's why he's also called the word that was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory glorious of the only begotten of god so full of grace and truth amen we we need the word and and when you allow the word of god to saturate you it not only exposes and removes lies it builds your faith right faith arises to the degree you allow god's word to saturate you and when faith sets you when faith grows within you it chases out every thought of fear every thought of defeat faith feeds his faith feeds on the word of god the word of god is is god's most tangible and powerful weapon that he has given you to triumph over the enemy amen that's why in the bible is referred to as a sword of the spirit his word is a soul and god wants you to have his word so that that's the most powerful weapon in your arsenal i wonder how many are using it how many have a word life is your sword but some christians the most they can pull out in front of the enemy is a pen knife i told you i told you because there's so little of god's word in their life they don't have a sword they have a razor blade that they swing around trying to defeat the enemy god's word is our sword amen and you need it in you need it say with me i need the word it's my sword to defeat the enemy especially in the last days yeah that's what we just read they overcame satan the accuser of the brethren by the blood and by the word of the testimony which brings us to the next point about the word it must not be just known in your heart it must be a testimony through your mouth for it to release its power all right now with that let me bring you to psalms 91 don't just know the word speak it declare it release it decree it prophesy with it testify with it psalms 91 verse 1 i want you to notice something about the word he who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the almighty i will say of the lord i repeat i will say of the lord now that's your testimony he is my refuge and my fortress my god in him i will trust surely he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence notice that the scripture doesn't say he will deliver me and then i will go testify about it he will save me and i will say of of the lord yes he surely has done a good thing no he says i will say it and then in response to what i've said he will deliver me i think many believers are not aware of this functionality of the word how it works because words have created power remember that god spoke the world into existence he created the universe with his words and he places his words in you and say declaring my son my daughter because when you release it you're creating it into your world just as i've created the universe with my words you can create your world with my words now your words steal his words his words is a basic building block of the universe and he say i place it within you and when you speak it it shall come to pass your word is not only predictive is causative it makes it happen what you declare it has created power it creates as your as you testify as you release it as you declare it amen words have power just like there is power in the blood there is power in the world and you need the power that is released through the word his word carries his power you lay hold of his power by laying hold of his word and not just laying hold you release the power by speaking it i said this we can go on to do many many you know sessions and sermons just based on this concept of how there's power in the world and that do you know for example just one of many examples do you know how god blesses he speaks it do you know blessings are voice activated that's why the bible says for example when god created adam and eve you know and and and and the scripture records in book of genesis of course you know and he blessed them after he blew his breath into them and became alive you know and adam came alive and he blessed them saying be fruitful and multiply saying without saying it it doesn't happen you say it too i shall say of the lord he is my refuge and my strength in him will i trust he is my fortress my my family is under the blood my family is in the shelter of the most high declare it that's what the saints in the last days must really know to do to plead the land and to declare his word the more you receive of his word the more your fear grows in him romans 10 17 so faith comes from hearing and hearing by the word of christ the word the word the word it builds your faith it builds your faith and when you take the word of god and you speak it learn to confess the word don't just read it silently speak it many times i like to read the word i like to walk the floor and just and just read scripture in the beginning was a word and the word was god it was in the beginning with god and all things came in the wing into being by him and apart from him nothing has come into being that has come to be and in him his life and his in his life is the light of man and the word shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehending now and just keep speaking the word blessed is the man that walks not in the counter of the ungodly no sin in the path of sinners or sitting in the seat of the scornful but his delights in the word in the law of the lord which is the word and in his word he meditates day and night and he shall be like a tree that's pondered by the rivers the and his leaves are not weather and these trees of the bathroom in the season everything he touches prospers read the word let the word soak into your in your mind your heart and your soul in your spirit and when what is so much a part of you and it's being released through you it creates it creates your reality it creates your world you and your family and by that principle you and your church you and your nation declare the word eat the word remember this picture don't fight the enemy with the with a pen knife when god has given you a sword that's how believers are defeated too in the last days on the on the other side on the flip side when they don't have the word amen when our lord jesus was confronted in in the wilderness 40 days in the wilderness at the onset of his ministry the enemy came to want to tame him the one who actually want to destroy him and every lie of satan is spoken to him he countered with the word right he countered with the word it is written it is written and when he used that's the sword of the spirit that he releases and thrust it into the devil every time he he he the devil spoke a lie he countered with the truth it is written and the sword of the spirit went for and the devil gets the ouch the point every time but the third time he thrust the sword into the devil he ran he fled he fled you don't mess around with someone who knows the word you must cherish the word i mean i want to exhort you in jesus name today and i want to warn you in the days ahead in the days ahead you really would need that word you cannot say it is written what was written too late you must be ready to to pull out your sword and give it to the enemy and that's how you conquer that's how you overcome the wicked one and that's how the the kingdom of god is extended through you you you who know the power of the blood and who you you who know how to work the world how to plead the blood and the word the word you are the ones that god will use to be the overcomers described of seven times over in the book of revelation in the last days so speak the word every time you speak the word of god to yourself your spirit hears it and the more you hear it the more your faith grows right faith comes from hearing and hearing and hearing and hearing by the word of christ so keep on speaking god's word of protection keep on speaking god's word of protection and promises over yourself over your family and eventually your faith in his protection and provision will become so strong that nothing is able to shake it and it gives materiality what you declare of his word brings materiality and realization to what that word represents god's word has created power amen you may say you may say well that sounds like a lot of work you are right it's a lot of work it's a lot of work to swing your sword then to wave your little razor blade it's a lot of work but you know what that's what it will take to walk in the protection of god it doesn't come automatically i need to emphasize this again you see i want to see that even though the word of god is so powerful the bible says it's sharper than any two-edged sword do you know what as powerful as it is it cannot do anything for you until you activate it do you agree the sword is not going to cut any enemy until you lift it up and you wave it and you work it and the same principle is with the word no matter how many times you've heard the word preach even today what i've said maybe you've heard a hundred times about no many how no matter how many times you have read the word heard the word god says not me god says unto you you mix it with faith it profits you nothing ah so what i'm trying to to show us is this there's something on your path that you can do and must do to activate the world and that is so essential in the days that we live in so be reminded of that god's word contains the most powerful promises of protection on the face of the earth and it carries with itself the power to fulfill itself to fulfill those promises but yet it won't do a thing in your life about protecting you or providing for you until you make it the foundation of your faith until you work it until you declare it testify of it and with it it's like salvation is like salvation god has already provided for anyone who would believe for it act on it and receive it in order to experience it right salvation but in our languages but we have to use our faith to activate the salvation right to receive it do you like you like it or not faith is labor there's an effort involved the conquest of faith is not some passive state that you just slide into accidentally you've got to be deliberate and intentional about it you need to work the word i'm trying to say this you need to love the word eat the word stash it up on the inside of you while you're eating it sometimes it may not feel useful at that point but you just read it you just read it you eat it imbibe it get it into your system and you know what i tell you this when the occasion calls for it it all rises up the arsenal is there all your bombs and missiles are all ready you know yeah yeah you're not whipping out the pen knife you're taking out the sword of the spirit when the occasion calls or it the best time for training is peace time you don't have to you don't learn how to the rifle and load the bullets in the foxhole and fl and the bullets are flying over yo please someone show me so how no you learn it in peace time you learn the word in peace time and now it's actually not already not peace time really huh the action has already begun so hurry hurry get decked up on the world load your arsenal right now because it's going to require that in the days ahead without the word on the inside of you please believe me brothers and sisters you will be deceived not maybe a will because if elects can be deceived you and i we all can be deceived bible says that the word i've mentioned the scripture a little bit just now right there it's like a double-edged sword unto the is sharper than any two-edged sword under the division between joints and marrow the bones and the bones and marrow you know and the soul and the spirit it can divide all the way in to help you and say it is the discerner of the thoughts and intent of your heart that means the more you're saturated with the word the more the word will will divide for you and and and split for you what is your view what is of god what is of the devil what is of the world it causes you to have clarity to discern the instruction on the inside what is the voice of god navigating you and what is the deception of the enemy wanting to harm you and when believers do not have the word they are dull they cannot discern and the enemy drops in the thought inverse invest in this stock i think god is wanting to prosper and they invest and they lose everything because they cannot discern they cannot divide and the dullness is because the sword is not there that's why you need the word in the days ahead when the bible clearly warns us is a days of deception and deceit all the more you and i need the word to divide and to dissect and to help us discern what is god saying and doing and right now i can tell you these people there are already many believers in deception i say this with grief i see believers hearing what is on the press and the believing i'm not saying all prayers are wrong i'm not saying that but people have such naivety when it comes to prayers like like but that's not what our prayers say you know you have no idea there's as much as i can say right now over this you have no idea what is being planned for what is being executed what is being pushed what narrative is being perpetuated and what outcome they are driving for and believers are so so too many things are happening out there right now and and and you know just like believers who who hate trump for example not knowing god's agenda the god can use even a donkey can he not use a man like that and why why do they hate because of what they read and believe i believe are sending me some of the most vitriolic hateful things about trauma about this and i know what god is doing through this person and i thought wow it scares me how deceived and twisted believers can be believing the prayers believing what the enemy is feeding into their mind and heart and totally out of sync with god's agenda totally out of sin i tell these other ones that will utterly crash in the days ahead so so sad you know god's people will be deceived too even the elects will be deceived and i pray that you will heed the word today plead declare the word do your part do your part in allowing the holy spirit to equip you to live triumphant lives in the days ahead we are here for such a time as this we have been reserved for generations and dispensations pass somehow we are the ones that god say these are the ones that i've reserved for the last day battle between truth and lies light and darkness good and evil these are my best of the best you know you put out the best at the end you know in in a relay race you always put the strongest at the end i don't know what god saw in me i don't know what god saw in you but we are god's trump card no pun intended hey you actually have intended yeah but hey let's live for the kingdom let's be relevant to god's agenda let's be hooked up with him amen let's be aligned with his plan let us get into the word let us understand what the blood represents and let us be equipped and prepared by him to live very victorious life in the days ahead that would display the superiority of the redemptive of christ a triumphant church and a spotless bride ready for his return amen let us pray
