• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Go to Luke 8, 26 through 39. And we know
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that Jesus and his disciples have come through the storm.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: We know that they didn't drown. We know that they
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: didn't go under. We know that Jesus was, Peter woke
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: him up out of his sleep. And Jesus woke up
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and rebuked, the Bible said, the winds and the waves. Yes.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: We are clear about that. This 826 of Luke takes
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: us into not what they've been through, but what they
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: were going to. And it is so important because you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: cannot evaluate the significance of what you've been through until
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you study what you are going to. What you are
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: going to will explain what you just went. Especially when
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you understand that, well, don't let me get ahead of myself.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I'm excited, so I don't know whether to throw the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: chicken at you or the egg, you know. I'm ready
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: to throw everything at you. But we're going to start
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: with Luke 8, 26, and let's just read it down
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: through it. They sailed to the region... of the Gadarenes,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: which is across the lake from Galilee. When Jesus stepped ashore,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: For a long time, this man had not worn clothes
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: or lived in a house, long time, but had lived
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in the tombs or the cemetery. When he saw Jesus,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the top of his voice,' What do you want with me, Jesus?'
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Son of the Most High God, I beg you don't
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: torture me. Now, hold on. It says he cried, but
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: who's really crying out? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's his voice,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: but the enemy is having a spiritual conversation through a
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: human being. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Because it would not make sense for the man to say,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: why did you come to torment me? When Jesus wanted
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to deliver the man, but the spirit is talking out
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of the man's mouth. You have to understand that, that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: sometimes the enemy talks through people. If you can believe
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that God speaks through people, then you must also understand
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that the enemy needs a vessel to speak through. And
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: so when you deal with these moments, you have to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: be able to separate what is spiritual from what is human.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying? So Satan always needs something
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to speak through. Whether he speaks through a serpent or
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a person, he needs something to speak through. Because he
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is spirit. And anyway, when he saw Jesus, he cried
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of his voice. What do you want with me, Jesus,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: son of the most high God? I beg you, don't
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: torture me. For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: come out of the man. Come out of the man.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Many times it had seized him. And though he was
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: chained with hand and foot and kept under guard, he
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: had broken his chains and had been driven by the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: demon into solitary places. Have you ever allowed demons to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: drive you into solitary places? You're watching online. Have you
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: ever allowed the enemy to separate you from everybody else?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And put you into isolation. The enemy seeks to put
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you into solitary places. So he can have his way
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: with you. So he can convince you that nobody cares.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And nobody's coming and nobody's going to deliver you. He
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: puts you in solitary places. Jesus asked him, what is
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: your name? He's still talking to the spirit. He's talking
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to the spirit that is in a man. The answer
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: comes back legion. He replied because many demons had gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. See,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: we got to teach this stuff because we cannot assume
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that this generation understands this stuff. And so they don't
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: understand it. So when they see it manifest, they don't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: have enough biblical knowledge. background to understand that that which
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: is of the flesh is of the flesh and that
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: which is of the spirit is of the spirit they
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: can't differentiate one from the other anyway and they beg
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: abyss and the King James Version says don't send us
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: out of the region we are occupying territories Don't send
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: us out of the region. That's why when the Bible
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: talks about principalities and powers, Satan has regions and territories
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: that he seeks to dominate and to control. And Jesus
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: has come into a new region. And they had equity,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the demons had equity in the region. And they didn't
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: want to have to start over again. So they said,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: we'll leave the man, but we don't want to leave
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the territory. Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. We have
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: to understand that because the Apostle Paul says we are
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: not ignorant of his devices. So we can't just talk
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: about Jesus and not talk about the adversary because if
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: you do you will be ignorant of his devices. And
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: The demons begged Jesus. The demons begged Jesus. The demons
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: begged Jesus. The demons begged Jesus to let them go
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: into the pigs. And he gave them permission. And he
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: gave them permission. And he gave them permission to go
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: into the pigs. Remember that underline that. Pay close attention.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Because I'm going to talk tonight about storm drains. Every
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: storm needs a drain. And they begged Jesus. They negotiated
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: with Jesus. If you're going to rebuke us. Let us
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: go into the big. To bigs. When the demons came
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: out of the man, they went into the pigs and
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the herd rushed down. Everything is going down the steep
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: bank into the lake and was drowned. When those tending
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the pigs saw what had happened. Wait a minute, wait
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a minute, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Hold up a second. Jews don't raise pigs. Orthodox Judaism
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be raising swine. So not only has Jesus come
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: into the territory of demonic control, he has also crossed
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the line before the cross to deliver a Gentile or
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: we wouldn't see pigs. If they were Jews, we would
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: see sheep and shepherds, okay, but you wouldn't see swine.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: ran off and reported this in the town and countryside.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And the people went out to see what had happened.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: When they came to Jesus, they found the man from
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: whom they found the man who separate from whom the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: demons had gone out. The man is still there, but
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the demons have drained out. I'm just talking about what
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the word of God said. I'm not talking about your opinion.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I'm just talking about what the word of God said.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: They found the man from whom the demons had gone out.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: These demons had been in this man, according to the text,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: for a long time. Controlling his behavior. Leading to his depravity,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: his nudity, his self-hatred, his isolation, his degradation. Wasn't him.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: But up under the influence of the enemy had controlled
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: his behavior. And Jesus has now separated or severed the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: connection between the demonic influence and the individual. And the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: demons were just concerned. Okay, we know we got to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: give him up because you're here. So don't send us
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: into the abyss. But let us go into the pigs
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: so at least we can stay in the region. Yeah, yeah.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: There are regional spirits. I'm teaching while I'm reading. There
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: are regional spirits. The principality that hovers over Paris is
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: not the same principality that hovers over Dallas. Yes. You
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: have to understand that Satan wants territory. And Jesus has
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: come into the territory that one is upon the demonic influence,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: but also is Gentile, not Jew. And Jesus has crossed
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the line before the cross. Sunday, we read the text,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: let us cross over. To the other side, let us cross.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Y'all don't hear me. Let us cross over to the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: other side. This is a preview of a coming attraction
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: because Jesus went to the cross so he could reach
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the others. Let us cross over. To the other side.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Now this is, I love this text because we get
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to see spirits talking. We get to see them negotiating
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: with our Lord who is Lord in the earth, under
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the earth, and above the earth. We know now that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: his power works in the dark world like it works
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: in the present world. We know he is the same yesterday, today,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: and forevermore. Because the Bible said he gave them permission
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to drain out of the man into the pigs. And
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the pigs now go down and drain into the lake.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And the pigs drown. But the demons didn't. There's a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: difference between the content and the container. Are you following me?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going to borrow Pastor Tore's word because I like it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Are you tracking with me? Y'all tracking with me? You
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: tracking with me? And the people went out to see
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the man from whom the demons had gone out sitting,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: sitting at Jesus' feet. Dressed and in his right mind.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And they were happy. Oh, and they were glad to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: see the delivering power of the Holy Ghost. No, they
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: were afraid. And people are still afraid that you're going
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to get loose. Yet people are still afraid that you're
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: going to come into the fullness of what God has
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: for you. People are still afraid that you're going to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: discover who you are in the kingdom of God. They
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: want to keep you in solitary confinement. But the devil
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: is a liar. I said the devil is a liar.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I said the devil is a liar. Those who had
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: been cured. That's good news. You would think when you
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: gave people good news they'd be glad. But the reality
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: is you can be so up under the influence of
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the enemy that good news doesn't make you glad. Then
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: all the people of the region of Gerasenes, but it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: really is Gadarenes in the King James Version, asked Jesus, what?
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: They asked Jesus to leave. Jesus asked the demons to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: leave and then the people come and ask Jesus to leave.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: If you have any notion that doing good is going
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to get you applauded, get rid of it right now.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Because Jesus did a good thing and they asked him
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to leave. Because they were overcome by So he got
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: into the boat and left. The man from whom the
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: demons had gone out begged to go with him. But
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Jesus sent him away saying, no, I want you to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: go home. This man is a seed sown into a region.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: God never leaves himself without a witness. And Jesus said,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: if you come with me, it's going to defeat the purpose.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: But I want to leave you as a sign in
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the region that I was here and that I drained
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: back the storm, took authority over the enemy, drove it
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: back out of the man into the pigs, out of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the pigs into the lakes. And I want you to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: go back so there is indisputable evidence that your transformation
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: was for my glory. I didn't deliver you for your glory.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I delivered you for my glory. And so I want
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you to be a light in a dark place. And
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I want them to see you. Return home and tell
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: how much God has done for you. Now, this is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: not the normal language that Jesus speaks because throughout the scriptures,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus healed lots of people and told them, don't tell anybody.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: But this man, he says, I want you to go
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: back and tell them that it wasn't happenstance. It wasn't therapy.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: It wasn't psychology. I want you to tell them this
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: is spiritual warfare and tell them what great things God
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: has done for you. So the man went away and
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Can you say amen? Amen. Father, sanctify the word in
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: our hearts and in our spirits as we delve into
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: your truth tonight. We thank you for what you have done,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: what you are doing, and what you're about to do.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: We believe you for the transformative power of your word
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: to flow tonight into every crevice of our being. In
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name, amen. You may be seated. Y'all remember the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: other night when the storm came through Dallas? Wasn't that crazy?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it was in your neighborhood, but
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: it was like a flood. And my wife was in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: the kitchen and she was showing me that because our
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: property is sloped, so much water was coming down our
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: driveway and into our property. Now, we have a drain
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: in the driveway, but there was so much water coming
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: in and maybe some leaves that got in the drain.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Until I couldn't even see the drain for the rain.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: The drain is there because anytime you're going to get
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: rid of the storm water, the storm may stop, but
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the water's got to go somewhere. Are you hearing what
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? So that's important for you to catch that
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the water's got to go somewhere. Somewhere. Now, I want
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: to make you to understand that when you start talking
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: about gathering, it's an adjective that means, in the Greek,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: it means to move rapidly and without control. To move
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: rapidly and without control. That's the name of the area.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: To move rapidly and without control. And Jesus comes to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: gather in Whose name is to move rapidly without control.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: And he has come to gathering through a storm that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: moved rapidly and without control. Now you got to marry
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the two texts. You got to marry what I preach Sunday. Okay,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: steady in the storm. And you got to remember the
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: fact that when they got on the boat and Jesus said,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: let us cross over to the other side. Now we
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: understand that Jesus is crossing to the other side, not
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: only of the lake, but the other side theologically to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: reach the Gentiles. And when they started out, everything was cool.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: But the closer they got to their destination, suddenly a
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: storm comes out of nowhere and Peter freaks out and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and and questions God's love because of his storm have
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: you ever questioned God's love and because of your strong.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Carest thou not that we perish? How can you sleep
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: through a moment of my discomfort? You ought to be
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: doing something to make me feel secure and safe. In
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: other words, he has put the burden on Jesus to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: deal with his complex crisis. While Jesus is sleep. We'll
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: talk about a sleepy Jesus. Sometimes a moving Jesus doesn't
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: build your faith like a sleepy Jesus. This storm is
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: an exercise in faith. Faith is the substance of things
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We understand
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: then That the things which are seen are temporal, but
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the things which are not seen are eternal. So all
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: of a sudden we begin to catch a glimpse of
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the fact that when Jesus woke up and rebuked the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: winds and the waves, he says to Peter, where is
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: your faith? Where is your faith? Because this is a
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: spiritual battle. Okay. Yeah, this is a spiritual battle. Somebody say,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: this is a spiritual battle. We are living in a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: time that we are fighting spiritual battles and we are
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: fighting them with carnal weapons. The Bible said the weapons
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: for the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: God and brings every thought into captivity unto the obedience
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: of Christ. You're in a fight. You cannot use carnal
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: weapons in a spiritual fight. I never will forget years ago, many,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: many years ago, I was in West Virginia and my
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: mother and my brother came to church up at the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: storefront when we was on Lee Street in Montgomery. And
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: I was casting out a demon and the demon was
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: manifested in the service and it was just carrying on
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and it was disruptive. My brother had never seen anything
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: like that. told my mother he said I'll be right
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: back my mother said my mother said where you going
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he said I'm going to my car to get my
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: pistol my mother said you can't shoot no demon fool
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: he said no but I can shoot the joker he
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: in the problem with that is You can't fight a
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: spiritual battle with carnal weapons. Okay. We have such well-intended
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: but misinformed people who are so carnal that they don't
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: understand spiritual warfare. So master, the tempest is raging. And
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: we think we're just talking about rain, wind, and water.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But if all that Peter was fighting was rain, wind,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and water, why did Jesus use the word rebuke? You
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: don't rebuke a storm. You rebuke a spirit. Come on, people.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: You have to understand that these two stories are connected.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: That the enemy over gatherings, moving fast and furious, has
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to move quickly because Jesus is crossing paths. Over to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the other side. So you think the story about the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: demons begins with legion. No, it begins with the resistance
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to you coming over into the enemy's territory. So when
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Jesus gets up out of the sleep, he rebuked. The
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: winds and the waves and a great calm came upon
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the face of the waters because this was not a
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: storm in the first place. It was a manifestation of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: demonic resistance that wanted to stop Jesus from crossing the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: y'all not ready for me tonight come on y'all not
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: ready for me tonight when God has something for you
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the enemy wants to block your pathway into the destiny
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that God has for you and the storms that you're
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: fighting are not your fault or your issue it's Satan's
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: fear that you're coming after him and crossing over into
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: his territory type it on the line I'm crossing over
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: you I'm crossing over. I'm crossing over. I'm crossing over
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: into occupied territory. I'm crossing over into an area where
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: there's been barriers and restrictions. I'm getting ready to cross
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the line. The devil don't mind as long as you
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: stay in your little place and sit down in the corner.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Devil don't mind as long as you just shut up
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and dribble. But the moment you make up in your mind,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to cross over. And then the enemy sends resistance.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: And you got to know that you don't need an umbrella.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: You need to rebuke the winds and the waves. So
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the moment Jesus lands in Gadarenes, the demons start running
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: because they already knew. Come on. They already knew he
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: was coming. And the resistance wall that they sent to
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: stop him didn't work. Oh, I don't know who I'm
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: talking to. But don't you know the enemy already sees
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you coming? He already sees you coming. He already, Jesus
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: had just got off the boat. How else would Legion
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: know that it was Jesus and where to go And
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the demons start talking. The man did the running, but
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: the demons did the talking. Come on, somebody. Because Jesus
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: has entered into occupied territory. The devil don't mind you
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: having church with church folk. But when you start breaking
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: into occupied territory... When you start possessing ground where he
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: has been working for years and years and years, he's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: going to do everything he can to resist you. And
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your money gets funny. And all
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, your kids get sick. And all of
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: a sudden, you lost your job. And all of a sudden,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: you're dealing with a store. And all of a sudden,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: they found a lump in your breath. Don't you know
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: it's just that the devil sees you coming? You got
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: to be steady. You gotta be steady. In fact, the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: storm is a result of the anointing that's on your life.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: And look at how steady Jesus is in the storm.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: He's sleep. Sleepy Jesus. He He's asleep in a hurricane
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: that has terrified an experienced fisherman. Peter crosses lakes for
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a living. He's seen everything. And this storm has terrified Peter.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: And Jesus is... See, Jesus is asleep. which is the
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: ultimate of peace. You can't speak peace if you don't
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: have peace. Come on somebody, come on somebody. Peter has
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: given up his peace and lost control of the circumstances.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: What I want you to see tonight is what started
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: out as an outward storm leads into an inward possession.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: so when the storm came the other night we had
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: to unblock the drain because even when the storm stops
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: the water has to drain somewhere and this text says
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: is a storm drain. What manner of man is this
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that even the winds and the waves obey his will?
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Why are you all riding with a Jesus you don't know?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You're just on the boat, just going along with the
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: flow until he starts manifesting in the spirit and all
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: of a sudden you understand This ain't just no regular dude.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: This dude is operating in another dimension. And I have
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: underestimated who I'm following. So the storm comes to put
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Jesus' power on display. Not only for the rebuking of
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the demons, but for the education of the disciples. See,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: your real power doesn't show in the quiet. It shows
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: in the storm. Are y'all following what I'm saying? So
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: in order to see the complexities of the text and
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: to become advised of the wows, which means techniques of
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the enemy, you have to understand that this fight started
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: before this fight started. In other words, the enemy has
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: been setting up this defense for a while. And everything
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: was cool. It was going according to plan. The man
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: was cutting himself. He had stripped himself of clothing. He
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: had no boundaries. Each one of these descriptions are signs
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: of what happens in the life of a man who
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: is under demonic control. Okay, he stripped himself. He has
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: wounded himself. You understand what I'm saying? He hates himself
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and he's only comfortable in the tombs. When the enemy's
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: taken over your life, death is comfortable. So he dwells
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: amongst the dead. lives in the tombs. And everything was
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: cool until Jesus crossed over. I want to serve notice
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: on the devil tonight. I want to serve notice on
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: the enemy tonight. Jesus is coming to get you. He's
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: coming to get you. He's coming to get you. Oh yeah,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: he's coming. He's coming. He ain't going to stay in
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: no sanctuary and stay in the choir stand and sit
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: in the pulpit. He's coming over into your territory. He's
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: going right up in that apartment. He's coming right up
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: in that house. He's going right up on that job.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: He's going right up on that block. He's going right
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: into that crack house. He's going right into that den
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: of iniquity. He's going right into that spot that hell
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: thinks it has nothing. control over but it does not
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: control what God is about to take over somebody shout
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: in this house right now so in the presence of
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Jesus in the presence just the presence April just the
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: presence he hadn't even done anything yet the demons come
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: in and start begging him Don't torment us before our time.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: So the demons know that Jesus is Lord while the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: disciples are trying to figure out what manner of man.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: come on with me the disciples still are trying to
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: figure out what manner of man is this and the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: demons already know and they call him Lord and fall
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: down at his feet and the reason they kept falling
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: in the floor is because they knew that the power
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: in him was greater than the power in them can
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I go deeper So what we are looking at, I
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: want you to get this. There are two different kinds
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of storms. The first story that I taught you on
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Sunday is a storm in the elements, in the exterior.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: It is outside attack, environmental attack, attack in your circumstances,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: attack in your situation, attack in your finances, attack in
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: your family, attack with your stuff. It's the same spirit,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: but it's a different tactic. Because what was an outer storm,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: now in the second phase becomes an inner storm. Everything
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: this man is doing, he's doing to himself. Because the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: storm has moved out of the exterior to the interior.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: And this man has been tormented. by the demons who
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: are now asking Jesus, please don't torment us. What? Really, devil?
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You want me to be cool and casual after you
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: have been tormenting this man for years and the sign
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: that you have set up residence is how he feels
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: about himself. Oh wait, we're coming for you. We're coming
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: for you. We're coming for you. This man hates himself.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: This man has no constraints. This man is gnashing on
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: himself because the storm is no longer on the exterior.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Listen to me tonight. There is a storm that can
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: go on inside of you that the person sitting next
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: to you knows nothing about. You can't lay beside somebody
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: who is right in the middle of an internal tsunami
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: and not be cognizant of the fact that the person
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: you lay with or work with or are eating with
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: is under attack on the inside. The pressure that I'm
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: seeing attack people today is not just an external attack.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: It's not nothing that you can fix by changing their
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: conditions because the storm has moved inside and the enemy's
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: tormenting you internally. And he don't want you to say nothing.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: And he's got control of the conversation. We don't even
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: get to hear the man talk. All we get to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: hear is the enemy talk. Because the enemy has taken
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: over the territory. And he has moved the attack on
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: the inside. Because out of the abundance of the heart,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the mouth speaketh. So if the heart is filled with
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost, when you've got the Holy Ghost on
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: the inside, he'll speak out of your mouth. Well, when
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: you've got hell on the inside, hell will speak out
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: of your mouth. And look at the contradiction. The man
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: is running to Jesus. But the man who's running to
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Jesus is being run by demons. If I had time,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I'd take you over in Acts. Yeah, you got me.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: You got me. I'd take you over in Acts and
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: show you how this woman is following Jesus, following Paul
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: with the spirit of divination. And she's right in behind him.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says she has the spirit of divination,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: which is witchcraft. And yet she's right in the congregation.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: And after several days, Paul got sick of it and
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: then rebuked the spirit that was inside of the woman. Well,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: the reason the woman was following him is that he
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: was headed into Ephesus. And Ephesus is where all banks
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: began in Ephesus. And this woman had made money Because
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: she worked for the silversmiths at Ephesus. And she is
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: trying to distract Paul from reaching the epicenter of economic empowerment.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Do your research. You'll find out that the first banks
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: came out of Ephesus. The enemy doesn't want you to
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: get your money out, but the devil is a lie.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: The enemy wants to shut down your promises of God,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: but the devil is a lie. The enemy wants you
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: to be free in your spirit. but bound in your
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: economy but the devil is a lie I rebuke the
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: spirit of poverty that's hanging over your life in the
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus in the name of Jesus in the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus and every foul spirit that's trying to
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: shut you down from what God has promised you be
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Come in the name of Jesus. Somebody give him 30
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: seconds of crazy praise. You will remember in the book
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: of Acts, there were some cities the disciples got ready
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: to go in and the Spirit constrained them. Because God
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: has a strategy. To take over certain territories. So he
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: let them go into Athens because he wanted to get
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: control over the language because Greek was the prominent language.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: So they were allowed to go into Athens so that
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit could be conveyed into a language that
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: was covering and reaching all over the world. So when
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: you start reading the scriptures, you have to understand that
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: they were written in Greek because that's why Jesus had
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: to go into Athens, Greece to get a hold and
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: a witness in the language that was most common amongst
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: the people. Then they were allowed to go into Ephesus
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: because Ephesus was the epicenter of
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Because Rome was the epicenter of political
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: power and God wanted to influence the government of Rome.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: And so you remember when Paul got ready to go
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: to Rome and the storm came so strong that the boat, oh,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. Oh, wait a minute. The same thing
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: that happened to Jesus happened to Paul. Satan don't have
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: no new tricks. He keeps on using old tricks. Glory
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: to God. This is the same old tactic. If you
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: look back in your life, he don't have no new tactics.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: He just keeps rehearsing the same stuff over and over
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: and over again. And the Bible said that the storm
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: got so bad that the boat fell apart. But the
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: people survived and some on boards and some on broken
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: pieces made it safely to the other side. Because this
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: ain't about boats. This is about destiny. And even if
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: my boat don't make it. Y'all don't want to have
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: no church with me tonight. Even if my boat don't
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: make it. Even if the ship falls apart, I'm going
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: to make it to the other side. Because if Jesus
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: defeated the storm, now Paul survives the storm only to
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: come up on Malata to run into the snake. And
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I told you Sunday, the reward for winning the last
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: battle is getting the promotion to the next battle. So
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: when Paul comes up on Malata, he faces the snake
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: after the storm. Jesus, when he comes to gatherings, he
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: faces the snake after the storm. Only the snake is
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: the demons in Legion. And your Bible is repeating itself.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: If it happened to Jesus and it happened to Paul,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: what in the world makes you think That the enemy
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: is going to let you cross over and take over territories. Now,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: this is grown folks food here right now. God wants
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: to anoint you not just so you can sing in
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: the choir, not just so you can preach good, not
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: just so you can usher good and greet people good. No,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: God wants to anoint you until the kingdoms of this
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: world become the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: God wants to anoint you to do business in places
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: you've never done business before. God wants to anoint you
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: to be able to go into areas where you can
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: communicate with people everywhere. That nobody else has been able
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: to communicate with. With the anointing that is on your life.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: God is strategic about the doors he's opening up to you.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: And the enemy is strategic about the fences he's building.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: To block you from taking over the territories. Who am
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I preaching to? See I want to teach. this Bible
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: class to somebody who's been attacked on the outside and
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: been attacked on the inside. I'm not saying you've been possessed,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: but the tormented in your mind, tormented, just every bad
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: news possible, he lets you hear it. So that the
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: winds and the waves have moved from beating against the
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: ship To beating against your own head. And when it
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: starts beating against your own head, you start attacking your
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: own self. And in order for the enemy to do
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: what he wants to do, he needs you to be
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: in isolated places. When men are abusive to women, the
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: first thing they do before the abuse starts is to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: separate them from friends and family. Because an abuser needs
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: isolation for infiltration. So when the enemy is working and
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: you don't want to, I just don't want to be
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: around nobody. I just don't feel like, I'm not feeling people.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: As long as I'm going on with the Lord, I
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: don't need nobody. Watch that spirit carefully. Because that spirit
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: of isolation is trying to move you away from the
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: power you get from agreements. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that all of you are streaming on tonight.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that you're being blessed there in your house
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: and in your living room. I hope there's somebody with
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: you because one can chase a thousand, but two can
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: chase 10,000. Now, that's not good math because if one
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: could chase a thousand, good math is two could chase 2,000.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: But God says when you got somebody to agree with,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to give you exponential increase in your life.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: So it's more to it than watching me teach. It's
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: the agreement that comes in a room. When two or
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: three of you agree as touching anything on earth. That's
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: how you fight the enemy. By agreement. Have you noticed
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: the worst thing? The weather gets, the more the people
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: are in disagreement. You can't teach, preach, talk, say, post,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: do anything that doesn't come up under fierce attack. Because
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: the spirit of disagreement is loosed and it's working with
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: the weather. Oh, y'all don't want this. Can you preach it?
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: Can you teach this year's? Satan is the prince of
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: the power of the what? Of the air. Have you
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: noticed how he's been working in the air? Have you
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: noticed that as he takes over the air the diseases
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: are being loose like you've never seen before? And the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: disagreements are so crazy that you don't even know how
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: to argue back because people are falling out about stuff
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: you can't even figure out what they mad about. Storm brains.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: The enemy has always worked through the elements to shut
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: down The movement. Because he has. He is the prince.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Of the air. Check out the weather. Check out the weather.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Check out how unpredictable. How crazy. You don't know whether
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: to put on a coat with shorts and flip flops
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: and an umbrella. You trying to figure out, can I
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: put away my summer clothes and bring out my winter
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: clothes and your closet looks schizophrenic? Because the moment you
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: folded up all your sweaters, then it got cold and
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: you almost froze to death. Do you see the prince
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: of the air creating turbulence on the outside so that
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: he can access your inside? Because some of you have
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: outer storms and other of you are fighting inner storms.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: And you don't understand it's the same storm. And the
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: storm needs somewhere to drain. I'm almost finished. Y'all with me?
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: The storm he rebuked it out of the lake. The
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: spirit met him on the land. Jesus says to the spirit,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: what is your name? What is your name? And the
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: spirit said, legion. For we are many. No wonder you're many.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: You can go out to the lake and be waiting
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: on me on the land. Because this is an army
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: of spirits. A brigade of satanic attack. That has come
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: against what Jesus has come to do. Which is to
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: change the region. You just stepped into a new region.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: You're not going to have to fight the California demon. Amen.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Because when you move into another territory, there's another principality
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: you got to deal with. This Texas demon is a
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: different spirit from that California spirit. And your tactics have
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: to change for the environment that you're in. You're not
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: fighting a Maryland demon down here. You're fighting a Texas
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: demon down here. It's taking over the territory. And there
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: are certain traits in the region that you didn't have
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: in Maryland. What worked in West Virginia did not work
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: in Texas because this is a different principality and they
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: are working together. Can I go deeper? While we are
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: arguing amongst ourselves, I have never seen a demon fighting
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: another demon From Genesis to Revelation. But I've seen preachers
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: fighting preachers. I've seen choir directors fighting choir directors. I've
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: seen saints fighting saints. Because the enemy wants to distract
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: you from the real fight. Your real fight is not
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: with your brother and sister. Your real fight It's with
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: the principalities and the powers that are trying to stop
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: you from reaching your destination. And every time you get close,
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: the enemy will use somebody to get on your nerves.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: So if you don't have a storm on the outside,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: you got a storm on the... Who am I talking
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: to tonight? Oh, but we're going to drain them storms tonight.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Come on, somebody. I said we're going to drain them
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: storms tonight. We're going to drain them storms tonight. When
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: a real Holy Ghost anointing hits a house, you can
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: always tell because if there's a demon or a witch,
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: they will manifest in the room because great glory will
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: bring the enemy to his knees. I got to quit.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Don't you do that. Don't you put that organ on me.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: It'll bring the enemy down to his knees. Because the
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Bible said, at the name of Jesus, every knee shall
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: to the glory of God. So devil, you don't like me,
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: but you got to acknowledge my anointing. For greater is he.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I wish I had an anointed shout in this house.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: An anointed shout in this house. An anointed shout in
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: this house. An anointed shout in this house. An anointed
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: shout in the house. Slap somebody and tell them, go
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: get your stuff. You can't just sit up under this
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: word and not go get your stuff. You can't just
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: sit up under this word and not take over territories.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: You can't just sit up under this word and not
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: move into other dimensions. Go get your stuff. Are you
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: watching me tonight? Oh, I gotta quit. Go get your stuff.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Go into the enemy's camp and take back... Thank you.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: If you're watching online, type on the line, something is
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: about to happen. Something is about to happen. Something is
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: about to happen. How do you know something is about
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: to happen? I can tell by the storm. The storm
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: is a sign that God is about to do something
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: in my life. Because the enemy wouldn't send this kind
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: of storm if God wasn't about to cross over and
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: take me into new territory. Tape it on the line.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: New territory. New territory. New territory. New territory. New territory.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: So watch this. Jesus separated the man from the spirits.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: So the spirit said, okay, we'll give up the man,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: but don't send us out of the region. Send us
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: into the pigs. This man had so many demons in
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: him that they filled up a herd. How many demons?
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Can one man hope? It took a herd of demons
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: to drain the storm out of this man. And when
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: the pigs experienced what the man was experiencing, the whole
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: herd committed suicide. Somebody watching me tonight, you have been
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: going through what would kill anybody else, what would make
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: somebody else jump into the river. You've been up under
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: immeasurable pressure and up under great attack. But I got
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: good news for you tonight. The Holy Ghost said there's
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: going to be a storm drain. Whatever's been on you
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: is about to be separated off of you. Oh, my God,
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: can I feel some praise? I rebuke the spirit of suicide.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: I rebuke the spirit of depression. I rebuke the spirit
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: of envy. I rebuke the spirit of frustration. I rebuke
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: the spirit of agony. Hallelujah. Look at somebody say, drain
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: that thing. So Legion, Legion went into the pigs and
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: the Bible is careful to tell you Now that's a
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: step down from man to pig. That's a step down.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And then the Bible said the pigs went down into
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: the lake. And the enemy keeps trying to press you
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: further and further and further down. Nothing in the text
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: is coming up. everything in the text is going.
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: Down lower and lower and lower and lower and lower
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: and the pigs committed suicide animals don't commit suicide they
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: have a natural instinct to know what element they can
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: operate in in. Pigs would not normally go into the lake.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: That's why the people who were taking care of the
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: pigs were shocked because in all of their years of
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: raising pigs, they had never seen a pig commit suicide.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: And I know that they still haven't given up the
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: region because when the people came out to see what
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: Jesus had done, they have the strangest reaction to the
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: most positive information.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: You would think if the man got delivered, they would
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: want Jesus to stay. you've been thinking that people don't
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: like you it's not that they don't like you they
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: don't like the anointing that's on you your your anointing
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: makes them uncomfortable and the reason they can't relax when
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: you come into the room because something in you is
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: tormenting something in them and you say I don't understand
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: how come I keep falling out with people that I'm
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: trying to be nice to And you need to understand
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: it's not your actions that they hate. It's your anointing
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: that they hate. Watch this. So when they saw the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: man clothed and in his right mind, they asked Jesus
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: to leave. Some people only like you when you bow down.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: You mean you'd had no problem with this man cutting
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: on himself, living in the tombs, breaking every chain and
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: feather you tried to put on him. That didn't bother
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: you at all. You had no trouble with him being
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: bound in the presence of pigs, but him being loosed
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: in the presence of the lamb. You can live with pigs,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: but you can't live with the lamb. So we'll keep
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: our pigs, but the lamb must go away. Watch this.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Jesus rebuked the spirits, but when the people asked him
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: to leave, he got on the boat and left. Because
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: if I offer you peace and you reject that peace,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to fight you for the peace you refuse.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: So Jesus, who went through all that trouble to get
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: in the region, left without a fight. Once they had
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: seen the glory and rejected it, He gets back on
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: the boat and sails back on the lake and there
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: is nothing about a storm stopping him from leaving. The
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: only time we see the storm is stopping him from coming.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: Y'all don't hear what I'm saying. Am I teaching good tonight?
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Am I teaching good tonight? Am I teaching good tonight? See,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: there are people that are uncomfortable with deliverance because if
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: they had to accept your deliverance, then it would put
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: a mandate on them that they believe God for their deliverance.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: So rather than to be confronted with the possibility that
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: my life could be better, They asked the anointing to
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: leave the region. We cool with pigs. We're cool with self-mutilation.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: We're cool with lasciviousness. But that Jesus stuff? You're cool
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: with the payday loans in your community? You're cool with
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the liquor stores in your community. You're cool with the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: crack house in your community. You're cool with the prostitution
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: at the car wash in your community. But that church stuff,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: I got church hurt. You didn't get barbershop hurt. You
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: didn't get beauty shop hurt. You didn't get strip club hurt.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: You didn't get dope deal hurt. But you got hashtag
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: church hurt. What is it about church? They got hypocrites
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: in the church. They got hypocrites in the club. They
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: got hypocrites everywhere. You think the person who... Let me
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: go on back home before I mess this good message up.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: She don't like you. Take the money off the table.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: The dance is over. But none of that bothers you.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: None of that pig stuff bothers you. And what I
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: don't like about the church today is that we will
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: let them win the argument and they will be more
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: vocal in their dissent than we will be in our defense.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: We'll look at it and talk about it and pass
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: it around, but we will not stand up and be
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: a witness And Jesus got on the boat and left.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Now Jesus is leaving. And watch this. The man doesn't
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: want to live in Gadarenes. In the moving fast and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: swiftly area of demonic attack. He says, I don't want
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: to be in the flow of iniquity. Everything in this
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: text is moving. Everything in this text is moving. Everything
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: in your life is moving right now. It's moving in
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: the world. That's why you're tired when you go to
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: bed and you're tired when you get up in the
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: morning because you're just tired. You're tired at 30. You
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: wore out at 27. I'm just tired, child. I'm just tired.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: I'm just absolutely wore out. I just can't do it.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: I just can't do it. I'm tired. You just got
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: out of the bed. You tired again. You tired. You tired.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: You tired. We're going to have grandma cook. Grandma's 75.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: I ain't going to bother you. I ain't going to
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: bother you. The turbulence that you're living in. This man
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to leave Gadarenes. I don't blame him. The fear
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: of having to go through that again would make you
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: want to get out. But Jesus says, no, no. Stay.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Watch this. I'm leaving, but you're staying because you are enough.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Type it on the line, you are enough. I came
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: over here, I'm going to instigate revival through you. Me, Lord? Me, Lord?
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: I was naked and cutting on myself. And I know,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: I know, I know. That's who I like. Because my
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: strength is made perfect in weakness. I picked you because
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: there's a big contrast between who you were when I
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: met you and how I've transformed you. Come on, come on,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: come on, come on with me. Let me show you
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: one more thing. I asked the Lord, I said, Lord,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: When you told a man to take up his bed
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: and walk, why didn't you just tell him to walk
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: and leave his bed? He said, no, I wanted them
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: to have association. Between where he was and what he is.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: And if he didn't carry the bed, they might not
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: recognize him. God will leave some kind of sign around
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: you to recognize what he has done in your life.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Glory to God. Glory to God. Do you hear what
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: I'm saying to you? You don't want nobody to know
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: that you ever was laying in what you were laying in.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: But God will let a sign drop out every now
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: and then. Because his strength is made perfect. in your
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: weakness stand to your feet I'm going to close these
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: are your takeaways storms proceed precede destiny. A storm isn't
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: always what rocks a boat. It can be what torments
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: the mind. Every storm needs somewhere to go. So if
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: the enemy has to let you go, he's looking for
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: someplace to drain. So mama, cover your children. Daddy, cover
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: your son. Cover all your stuff, your property, your possessions,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: because the enemy needs somewhere to drain. So the more
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: anointed a man or woman of God is, the more
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: likely their seed is to come up under attack. Because
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: the enemy don't want to leave the region. So you
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: got to cover your children. Because there's a battle for
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: the seed. Are you hearing what I'm saying? I mean
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: a shown up battle too. I don't mean a little
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: petty pants. I mean a real knuckle up battle for
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: the seed. Because storms... Need to drain somewhere. Next takeaway.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: There are some doors God didn't open. So that you
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: could have direction. If he didn't open it for you.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: It was not going to be consequential. To what he
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: has designed for you. Ephesus. Athens. Rome. the acts of
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: the apostle is strategic. God will make the right folk
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: like you to maneuver you into a position and a posture.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: Somebody online, God is positioning you and don't be afraid
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: to cross over to the other side. Your anointing will
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: work In the boardroom, in the courtroom, in the Oval Office.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. God will position you into an area
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: because the Bible has prophesied that the kingdoms of this
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: world will become the kingdoms of our God and of
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: his Christ. So if the church won't invade the world systems...
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: then how is the wealth of the unjust laid up
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: for the just if you won't go get it? If
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking to you, type it on the line or
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: write a note to yourself, go get it. These texts
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: married together is about going to get it. The final
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: takeaway that I want you to be sure that you
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: get It's this man who hadn't been to Bible school,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: hadn't been trained, wasn't raised in the synagogue, wasn't an Orthodox,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: just got delivered. No credentials. And Jesus leaves him here
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: and says, just tell everybody what I did for you.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: you don't have to explain the tabernacle and Solomon's temple
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: and you don't have to speak Hebrew and you don't
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: have to be kosher just tell everybody what I did
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: for you the Lord wants to use your testimony tonight
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: he delivered your tongue from the enemy the whole fight
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: was over this man's mouth Did you get that? The
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: whole fight is over his mouth. The enemy wouldn't even
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: let him speak. Now Jesus tells him, go talk to everybody.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: And I found out the more you give, the more
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: God will give back to you.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: Not
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: one to 2,000, but 10,000 exponential increase. Exponential direction. Exponential direction. Increase.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: Exponential anointing. Exponential glory. Exponential talents. See what you don't
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: realize is I'm speaking stuff over your life. Everything that
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: I'm speaking I'm speaking over your life. And it's coming
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: out of my mouth through the air, penetrating what the
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: enemy wants to dwell in to reach you with life.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: So my wife says, she said, if we don't get
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: that drain unclogged, the garage is going to flood. Anytime
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: a storm comes and it has nowhere to train, there'll
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: be damage. We don't have you worshiping because we need
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: your encouragement to preach or teach. We have you worship
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: because when you worship, you open up your spirit and
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: you cleanse and you flush out your spirit of all
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: the contaminants. That you've seen, heard, thought, felt, been subject to.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: And that's why when you worship God, you leave lighter,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: feeling better, more uplifted, mind renewed, spirit refreshed, came to
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: church tired. Got energy you didn't even expect to have.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: Come on. Can I get a witness? Can I get
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: a witness?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: Glory.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: My God. My God. My God. My God. My God.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: Let me stop. My God. Somebody touch me. How you know?
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: I felt virtue go out of me. I felt energy
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: go out of me. That's what ministry is. To impart
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: to you the things of God. I speak specifically to
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: people who are about to cross over. This word is
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: prophetic to you. Do not allow the storms to distract
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: you from your destination because your destination is your destiny.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: And the last thing the enemy can do is send
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: a storm against you to stop you from hitting the
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: region of your destiny. If that word spoke to you,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: sow into it. If that word spoke to you, plant
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: into it. If that word unlocked something in your head
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: or gave you direction or clarity or understanding or revelation
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: or illumination, value it. value it because the anointing you
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: respect is the anointing you receive the anointing you respect
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: is the anointing you receive and I don't know and
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: I can't prove it but I sense in my spirit
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: that for somebody this was a destiny word It gave
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: you clarity and illumination into the next dimension. It explained
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: some things. It cleared up some things. You're going to
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: rest in this word tonight. With a different level of peace.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: The enemy would not be attacking you if you weren't
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: so close. You're going to cross over to the other side.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: You got a vision to go places where most saints
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: wouldn't go and to do things what most saints wouldn't
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: do and to believe God for things that you can't
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: even tell everybody about and you don't know how you're
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: going to do it and you don't know when you're
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: going to do it and you don't know how you're
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: going to accomplish it, but it keeps taunting you in
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: your head that there's something greater down inside of you.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: And the Lord ordained you to be here tonight or
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: to stream on tonight to hear storm drains because God
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: wants to drain every restriction that's stopping you from getting
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: to the next dimension in your life. Can I pray
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: for you tonight? I want to pray over you tonight. Lord,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: I've seen my share of storms. And it feels like
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: I've seen other people share it too. I've seen ships
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: crumble in the storm. And I've seen you salvage people
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: on fragments that other people cursed and you decided to bless.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: I have seen you open up doors that people spoke
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: against but couldn't stop them from opening. I've seen you
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: send supernatural provision into lives of people that one moment
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: a dagger was over their head and the next moment
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: there was a ram in the bush. Jehovah Jireh, I
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: call you down on this moment. In this moment, in
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: this moment with a revelatory word. With a move of God,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: a touch of God that rebukes every storm and every
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: doubt and every fear and every loathing and every insecurity
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: and every intimidation that ever stood up over your people.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: I pray tonight that a holy boldness would come into
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: your life. And that the full manifestation of what you
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: believe would come to pass in your spirit tonight. For
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: everybody all over the world that's hearing this word. I
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: speak life over your death. I speak joy over your sorrow.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: I speak peace over your confusion. I speak deliverance. I
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: speak deliverance over your bondage today. I speak deliverance over
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: your bondage. I speak beauty over your ashes. I speak
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: the garment of praise over the spirit of heaviness. You
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: will not go home heavy tonight. Release. Release. I release you.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: Because you are enough.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: I'm going to leave you in situations that you couldn't
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: handle before.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: But you're enough now. Because he whom the son have
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: set free is free indeed. Go in peace. God bless you.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: Good night. Thank you.
