Transcript
- 0:01Satan cannot touch me.
- 0:05I'm gonna say that again now.
- 0:07Satan cannot touch me.
- 0:11Now, where does that come from?
- 0:14Am I just thinking of it myself, or is that the word of God?
- 0:19I hear people saying all the time,"Satan is bothering me today." Satan cannot touch me.
- 0:28Why am I saying that?
- 0:31Let's go to the word.
- 0:32Let's go to 1 John.
- 0:361 John chapter 5.
- 0:411 John chapter 5.
- 0:43When we understand the word of God, we don't worry about how things looks.
- 0:50We operate in the word, in the Spirit.
- 0:55So in 1 John chapter 5, let's drop down to verse 18 where the word of God says,"We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not.
- 1:08But he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one," Satan,"touches him not." Now, I'm not saying Satan don't talk to you.
- 1:24I'm saying he can't touch you if you have been born of God and you are not in sin.
- 1:32The minute you step into sin, Satan can deal with you.
- 1:36Why?
- 1:37Because you're no longer protected.
- 1:40God has given us a promise, but that promise comes with conditions.
- 1:46I know you're saying to yourself,"Well, well, tell me what, who's this Satan, what is Satan, and how does he operate?" Go to James chapter 4.
- 1:58The book of James 4:7.
- 2:03Who is this Satan?
- 2:06And it tells us,"Submit yourself therefore to God.
- 2:11Resist the devil and he will flee from you." When he say resist the devil, what does that mean?
- 2:19Well, Satan wants you to do sin.
- 2:26Satan wants you to commit sin.
- 2:30Satan wants you to lie.
- 2:32Satan wants you to hate.
- 2:34Satan wants you to be jealous, envy.
- 2:37Why, though?
- 2:40He wants you to come out of that protection of God,'cause once you come out, you're free game.
- 2:49Ah, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
- 2:51Hold on now.
- 2:52I'm talking about me now.
- 2:54Satan cannot touch me.
- 2:57That should be all believers' statement.
- 3:01Let's go to the Book of John, John 8.
- 3:04Y'all know you're saying to yourself,"Man, I, I, I need a, I need a better understanding so I can walk in this, th- this, this place that God want for us." In John 8:44, John 8:44...
- 3:23But before I go into this, I wanna tell you something that a lot of people don't realize.
- 3:30Satan wants your mind Satan wants you to be in depression.
- 3:37Satan wants you to be in confusion because if you're in confusion, you're in fear.
- 3:45If you're in fear, you're not in faith.
- 3:47If you're not in faith, you're not in li- you're not in God.
- 3:51So in John 8:44, it say,"You are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do.
- 4:06He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
- 4:15When you speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." Now, why do you think Jesus is telling us these things?
- 4:28He said,"First of all, let me help you out." He said,"When you lie, you're following your father, the devil." He says,"When you, uh, when a lust come out of you, you're following your father, the devil." He goes on, he says,"He was a murderer." He says,"So when you're thinking of murder, don't worry, that's of your father." And he says,"Understand the truth is not in him.
- 4:55When you're doing these things, the truth is not in you." Why is he saying that?
- 5:00He said,"These are the attributes, the characteristics of Satan." So when you're operating these characteristics, he said,"That's your father." See, Jesus is telling us he wanna be our father, but that's the father of truth.
- 5:18Wow.
- 5:19I know you're saying to yourselves,"I've never heard it put this way." Well, hold on'cause we're going deeper.
- 5:29We're diving now.
- 5:30We're diving deeper.
- 5:32Go to 2 Corinthians.
- 5:352 Corinthians chapter 11 Second Corinthians chapter 11.
- 5:42Now, we're gonna get a beautiful understanding at a deeper level.
- 5:49See, in First Corinthians chapter 11, we're gonna deal with verse 13.
- 5:53Matter of fact, yeah, 13 to 15.
- 5:56We could deal with verse 13 through 15.
- 6:02"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ." Now, it didn't say Jesus called them now.
- 6:16It says they're transforming, they're gonna try to look like Christ.
- 6:24But the words, he said, if you pay attention, you'll realize they are not.
- 6:29I know you're saying to yourself, go ahead.
- 6:31"And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." Satan doesn't say But we know he's not true.
- 6:44Now, where are we going with this?
- 6:46Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.
- 7:01Don't worry about that.
- 7:02They're gonna get what they deserve.
- 7:04But now let me ask you a question.
- 7:07My question is, why would Satan pretend to be an angel of the light?
- 7:14Why would his ministers pretend to be believers or ministers of Christ?
- 7:20Why?
- 7:23'Cause Satan doesn't care about the non-believers.
- 7:27He know where they're going.
- 7:30He cares about the believers.
- 7:32He cares about those who are proclaiming to be believers.
- 7:38Those are the one he wanted to see.
- 7:42There's no need to deceive somebody who's lost.
- 7:48That don't make any sense.
- 7:49But Satan can't touch me.
- 7:51Why?
- 7:51I don't sin.
- 7:52Why don't I sin?
- 7:54Because I have the Spirit of God.
- 7:56I- when I've been born again, I've been transformed, my mind has been renewed.
- 8:01Now, I know you're saying to yourself,"Why is all of this important?" Well, let's go into it now.
- 8:07Now we're getting down to the nitty-gritty now.
- 8:10See, I have to show you those so I can really show you the significance of why we ought to follow Christ.
- 8:23Let's talk about God's benefits.
- 8:26Let's go to John 15.
- 8:29The Book of John 15.
- 8:34Now we're talking now.
- 8:36See, when we start operating in God's plan, there are benefits to following God.
- 8:47See, in John 15, now, w- stay with me now'cause I'm going to show you something now.
- 8:53In verse seven it says,"If you abide in me," now, now we're talking about the Spirit of God now,"and my words abide in you," uh-oh, now, remember you're doing what you know what you were supposed to be doing according to the Word of God,"ye shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you." Whoa.
- 9:15Hold up now.
- 9:18You mean to tell me the God of this universe is waiting to operate on my behalf?
- 9:25Yes, He is.
- 9:27But don't miss that now.
- 9:30"Ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you." That's, that's how the Father can be glorified.
- 9:40But it's all, it's according to His will now.
- 9:44I know sometimes you say to yourself,"W- why?
- 9:47Why?" Well, let's go down to verse 11.
- 9:50Stay in John 15.
- 9:51Let's drop down to verse 11.
- 9:52It says,"These things have I spoken unto you that my joy might be remained in you." You can say, He said,"I wanna give you my joy now, and that your joy might be full." Wow.
- 10:07See, when you're operating with this kinda happiness, this kinda enthusiastic, your, your enthusiasm is so powerful, it's contagious.
- 10:21See, when I wake up in the morning, I wake up with this, but I can't explode with what I have in me because I also understand everybody can't receive it.
- 10:35Why, why is that?
- 10:38See, we gotta start understanding why Satan cannot touch me.
- 10:45See, that should be all of our, all believers, that should be their statement.
- 10:50Satan cannot touch me.
- 10:52But that's somebody who's walking not only in the spirit of God, but walking in the knowledge of God.
- 10:58Because if you don't know who God is, if you don't know what's available, you don't know how to access it.
- 11:05Okay, let me help you out a little bit now.
- 11:07If I gave you permission To come in my house when I'm not here, you can come to the door all day long, but guess what?
- 11:16You still can't get in.
- 11:17Why?
- 11:18'Cause the door locked.
- 11:20I've given you permission, but I didn't give you the key.
- 11:24Okay, okay, hold on now.
- 11:26We talking real now.
- 11:27See, we gotta have the key to open the knowledge of God.
- 11:33Now, I'm gonna give you another scenario, then I'm gonna break this down in the spiritual realm.
- 11:39I can give you the key to get in my house, but if you do not know the code to the alarm system, it still will go off.
- 11:50And what, what's gonna happen?
- 11:52Security's coming, the police is coming.
- 11:54Why?
- 11:55Because you came in, you have access, but you don't have permission to bypass the alarm system.
- 12:08Oh, hold on then, hold on then.
- 12:10Let, let us get, let us get deep now.
- 12:12Let's get it deep.
- 12:13In the spiritual realm, you can read the word of God, but without the Spirit of God, you still ain't gonna get no understanding.
- 12:22Without the man of God to teach some things to you, you still ain't gonna get no major understanding.
- 12:27And now that code to access is that spirit that says,"Okay, let me teach you what you know now.
- 12:37Let me show you why, yes, you can do the sin, but here's what it's gonna cost you.
- 12:45Yes, you can do this, but this is what it's gonna cost you." See, a lot of times, you can do what you wanna do, but here's what it's gonna cost you.
- 12:57Woo.
- 12:58You mean, you, you, you want peace?
- 13:00Uh, you gotta operate in the peace of God.
- 13:02You gotta operate in the Spirit of God.
- 13:04You want some understanding?
- 13:06You gotta operate with the Spirit of God.
- 13:08Why?
- 13:09Because that's where knowledge and understanding come from.
- 13:12Okay, hold on.
- 13:14I know you're saying to yourself,"Man, this is good." Let's go to Joshua, the book of Joshua, Yeshua 1:8.
- 13:30Joshua 1:8.
- 13:36What are we doing?
- 13:37We about to get heavy.
- 13:38We about to get heavy.
- 13:39We are, we're getting the word of God'cause Satan cannot touch me.
- 13:44But now these are the benefits.
- 13:46In Joshua 1:8, watch what the Lord is teaching us in His word.
- 13:54He said,"This book," I didn't say not that book,"this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein" when?
- 14:07"Day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein." Did he say some?
- 14:20No.
- 14:20"All that is written therein.
- 14:24For then thou shalt make thy way prosperous." Hold up.
- 14:31You mean to tell me if I'm following God's word, I'm gonna be prosperous?
- 14:38Yes.
- 14:40"And then thou shalt have good success." You mean to tell me I'm gonna be blessed successfully?
- 14:48Yes.
- 14:50Now, I'm confused.
- 14:53Uh, uh, uh, just hold on for a minute now.
- 14:55I'm a little confused.
- 14:57There's a lot of people proclaiming God, but I don't see them prosperous.
- 15:06I don't see them having success.
- 15:09I don't even have them, see them having the basic success of happiness.
- 15:16I don't see them having the prosperous of enough to do what they wanna do.
- 15:24Forget the extras now.
- 15:25Forget the vacations.
- 15:27Forget the extra cars.
- 15:30They are not prosperous in the things they need.
- 15:37But the word told me,"Study, meditate." When?
- 15:42"Day and night." Why day and night?
- 15:49Because nighttime carries a certain realm.
- 15:55Daytime carry another realm.
- 15:57So I want you to understand, you gotta be prepared for both realms.
- 16:04You gotta be prepared for the darkness, the evil, but you also gotta be prepared for the day because sometimes people come to you and you'll think they're of God, but they're of the devil.
- 16:17What they gonna do?
- 16:18"I just need you to operate against the Word of God." They don't care what it is, long as it's against the Word of God.
- 16:25Now, so you say,"Hold up, now.
- 16:27Hold up, now.
- 16:27Hold up, hold up, hold up.
- 16:29Hold up.
- 16:30Let me, let me, let me see if I got this straight.
- 16:33You mean to tell me if I'm a 10-year-old boy, and I say the Lord called me to preach, and I start preaching, I'm going against the will of God?" Yes.
- 16:46"Well, hold up, now.
- 16:47That don't make no sense.
- 16:48You said God..." I don't give a, I don't give a darn what you have that doesn't make it God.
- 16:56Why?
- 16:57'Cause you have never owned your own house.
- 17:00You've never been out on your own.
- 17:02I'm not gonna say God didn't call you to preach later, but now is not the time.
- 17:08Why?
- 17:08You don't know nothing.
- 17:11Even if you knew every scripture in the Word of God, you still don't know nothing.
- 17:16You say,"Okay, hold up, hold up, hold up.
- 17:19Hold up, hold up, hold up, Pastor.
- 17:20Please, now.
- 17:20I, I just don't want to think,"'cause I see this all the time.
- 17:23It doesn't matter what people say.
- 17:26If you don't know the Word for yourself, why would you even begin to doubt somebody?
- 17:34See, when somebody come to me, man, woman, boy, children, cat, dog, monkey, doesn't matter, um, I don't have to hear the rest.
- 17:42I can just look at the fruits and tell you that's not God.
- 17:46What are we talking about?
- 17:47Satan cannot touch me.
- 17:48Why?
- 17:49I know the Word for myself.
- 17:53I understand certain things that people don't understand.
- 17:57I understand why women, the Bible calls them the weaker vessel.
- 18:02I don't care how they talk, they are still weak.
- 18:09Okay, okay, hold on, hold on.
- 18:10I know you're saying to yourself,"Master, can you take me deeper?" Not a problem.
- 18:17Let's go to the Book of John.
- 18:20John 10:10.
- 18:23John chapter 10, verse 10 I know you say to yourself, the benefits.
- 18:33The thief, who's the thief?
- 18:35Satan.
- 18:37He cometh not, but to what?
- 18:40Steal, and to do what?
- 18:42Kill, and to do what?
- 18:44Deceive, destroy.
- 18:48But what did Jesus says?
- 18:49I am come that thy might have what?
- 18:53Life, and that they might have what?
- 18:57Of, have it more abundantly.
- 18:59He talking about this great life.
- 19:03If you tell me you are a follower of Christ, I expect for you to have abundant life.
- 19:11See, I, I don't have a problem if you wanna work for somebody.
- 19:15That's a great thing.
- 19:16There's nothing wrong with that.
- 19:17But I also don't have a problem if you wanna be the owner.
- 19:21I don't have a problem if you finding some joy, but I would love for you to have a lot of joy.
- 19:28I don't have a problem every now and then if you give me a little complaint like,"Well, Lord," but this should be your complaint.
- 19:37I sh-expect more See, I'm not worried about lack because if you're a believer, I expect more.
- 19:48Why?
- 19:50Because that's the God we serve.
- 19:53Have you ever really...
- 19:54Now, I'm not talking about playing now, I'm talking about real now.
- 19:57Have you ever really paid attention to what God would do for us?
- 20:04He said,"I don't even want you to be sick.
- 20:07I'm not gonna tell you you're not gonna get sick, but you will get healed.
- 20:12It, it's gonna be a rapid heal.
- 20:14I'm not gonna tell you, you ain't gonna run into the hard times, but if you're gonna stay there, it's gonna come back in abundance.
- 20:22I'm not gonna tell you Satan ain't gonna talk to you." It never says that.
- 20:27It says,"Satan cannot touch you." Never say Satan can't talk to you now because Satan does just like God.
- 20:36He uses people to talk to people.
- 20:40That's why I always tell people,"You gotta know them by their fruit." So when you says, when, when you're judging people this way, you can't judge me,"Oh, I'm so sorry, you're a baby in Christ," or,"I'm so sorry you're no longer in Christ at all," because He does tell me to judge, but He said,"Let those who are spiritual judge them." It said you won't even judge the angels in heaven.
- 21:03See, that's because you have a choice, and you have allowed the Lord to use your body b- to be His temple.
- 21:11Oh yeah, I'm so sick and tired of being tired of people not knowing the truth.
- 21:16That's why stand by because the Greater Works of JesusChrist Ministry is coming.
- 21:22Not now, though.
- 21:23I'm gonna be real with you, not now.
- 21:25But the first Saturday in January.
- 21:28Why?
- 21:29Because I've watched these people who call themselves running after Christ, they're not finding Him.
- 21:35Why?
- 21:36They're not looking in the right place.
- 21:39He says, watch the word, not me now,"Seek ye first," what?
- 21:43"The kingdom of God." Why do you think it tells us to seek the Kingdom of God?
- 21:48Because Jesus is the King.
- 21:50Not is He the King of the Jews, but He's King of the Gentiles.
- 21:54It says your mind, you gotta seek Him in your mind.
- 22:00Renew your mind when?
- 22:02Daily.
- 22:03Why daily?
- 22:05Because they're constantly, Satan is coming to pollute your mind with negativity.
- 22:11They'll wanna take your mind and say,"I wanna believe in evolution." Believe in evolution, I could care less, but it doesn't make any sense.
- 22:21See, here's the thing about evolution.
- 22:24They can tell you evolution for man, but it's been 6,000 years.
- 22:30Why haven't we evolved into something else?
- 22:34You can tell me about evolution, well, why doesn't the plant change from the plant?
- 22:40A oak tree is still a oak tree.
- 22:43It seeds what is in itself.
- 22:45Why doesn't the whale change into something else?
- 22:48It's still a whale.
- 22:49Why does a bird...
- 22:51It's still the bird.
- 22:52Why doesn't it change into something else?
- 22:55See, the problem with evolution is it doesn't make sense.
- 23:01The problem that they have with the Word of God is they can't explain it.
- 23:08Because it's spiritual.
- 23:10So when I hear somebody say,"Well, I was born like this," okay, and what?
- 23:16Nobody cares.
- 23:18If you wanna use that statement, use it.
- 23:23But I'm not one of those believers that gonna sit there and listen to you.
- 23:27Now, if you wanna have another God, have it.
- 23:32I'm not gonna argue with you.
- 23:35See, Jesus says,"Let the blind lead the blind." Now, and I'm gonna be honest here, we, we talking about g- we, people who call themselves Christians, believers in Christ, you wanna argue with somebody that don't believe.
- 23:53Why?
- 23:57The, people love to ask me,"What do you think?" I don't think nothing.
- 24:01Why?
- 24:02I'm dead to my feelings.
- 24:04If I'm a believer in Christ, I'm gonna think like Christ.
- 24:08I might not understand it all, but I'm gonna think like Christ.
- 24:11Why?
- 24:12'Cause He said it.
- 24:14Now, when somebody like me come along, you, you, you, you, you know, knowing the word from Genesis to Revelation, and we'll have a discussion, and they says,"Well, when Jesus is on the cross, He's saying,'My God, my God, why have thou forsaken me?'" And I'm listening, and they say,"See, He's proving to you that He is the Son of God, and He's not Emmanuel, God with us Himself." And I just look.
- 24:47Now, remember now, there's nothing for me to say.
- 24:49Why?
- 24:49Because they already believe what they wanna believe.
- 24:55And then they say,"Well, you ain't say nothing." I said,"There's nothing to say." Why?
- 24:59I said,"'Cause you already believe what you believe." They say,"Well, what do you believe?" I don't believe nothing.
- 25:05I just believe the scriptures.
- 25:07I don't have an opinion.
- 25:09And then they'll say,"Well, y- I just proved to you the Father of Jesus according to the Bible." Well, you didn't prove nothing to me.
- 25:17You proved that to yourself.
- 25:19Because if you wanted to prove something to me, then you would've went back and says, what, what the, what Jesus was saying was not even a prayer.
- 25:29He was quoting the scriptures.
- 25:31He was quoting Psalm 22, and if you had dropped down to verse 16 and 18, He wouldn't say,"You pierced my hand and pierced my feet." He is telling you,"You've done exactly what I told you you would do over 700 years ago.
- 25:45You've done what I told you you'd do." But y- most people don't want that because that's revelational knowledge.
- 25:51They're not ready for that.
- 25:53They want to,"Well, my pastor said," and what?
- 25:56Does that make your pastor right?
- 25:58The last I checked, your pastor is human.
- 26:04That's why I stick with the scriptures, because I don't care how you break the scriptures down, it'll always work out.
- 26:12Why?
- 26:12Because it's written by the same God.
- 26:16That's why it says there are three in heaven that agree: the Father, the Word.
- 26:24Now, and I, I ain't even gonna go to the next one because y'all ain't even ready for that, but most people don't know Jesus to be the Word.
- 26:31Wow, you're serious.
- 26:34You haven't got that revelation.
- 26:36He said,"I can only do what my Father tell me to do." What is he saying?
- 26:40He says,"The Word must come, must be fulfilled." Satan can't touch me.
- 26:47I don't worry about what nobody else says.
- 26:49I only worry about what God said to me.
- 26:53I hope you enjoy hearing the word.
- 26:54Stand by.
- 26:55Come January, we're talking about people who want the truth.
- 26:59Do you really wanna worship on Sunday, or do you wanna worship on the Sabbath, that Saturday?
- 27:04Do you really wanna play with God, or do you wanna be a child of God?
- 27:08That's what's coming, and we're talking about the Word.
- 27:11I hope you enjoy hearing the Word of God.
- 27:13We're talking the Word, the truth, and Satan cannot touch me
