  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: Clearly explained.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Toit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hi there, and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Johan Toot, and as always, I am excited to share the word of God with you.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: I've been sharing this series Effective Evangelism, and I've been covering a lot of stuff.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_01: Basically, I've been sharing on the need for soul winning, how important it is that we are winning people for the kingdom of God, because that's the whole reason why Jesus came, so that no one would perish, but it all should come to repentance.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_01: And then also on the importance of discipling those people.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_01: You know, when you've reached them one-on-one, I've shared personal testimonies on how the Lord is using me as an evangelist through my open-air festivals and my gospel trucks, and you know how and more the Lord is using me to reach the unreached, and the concepts on effectively reach those people.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_01: And then I have shared on how we need to share and preach the gospel of the kingdom, not a gospel of hell and condemnation, but of the finished work of Jesus Christ at the cross, and that we are saved by grace through faith.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, I also felt led by the Holy Spirit to share that this is not about those people that are called to be on the stage alone.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_01: This is for you as a believer, as a disciple of Jesus.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: God wants to use you, He needs to use you.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: You are a laborer for the kingdom of God, and you are called to make disciples of all the nations.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: And so I've shared on all of that, and then I started to share on our authority that when we go out to evangelize this world, that we shouldn't just only go with words, you know, like theoretically, you know, we know and to explain something to people, but we should go in the power of the Holy Spirit, and we should will be we we would we would need to be confirmed with signs and wonders when we go out and share the gospel of the kingdom with people.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: And I also share that it is not only that people are being healed or being set free from a demon, but there is a lot more signs and wonders.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: You know, think about a word of knowledge, people being baptized by the Holy Spirit, people being touched and you know, being convicted, you know, convicted.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if it's the right word, but to be convinced by the Holy Spirit in their hearts, you know, people that accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior and so on and so forth.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, these are all signs and wonders.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: These are all the things that God uses to confirm that what you are sharing with them is the absolute truth, amen.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: And so I've I've basically shared on all that stuff.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: And today I want to continue in the authority, you know.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Um basically I shared on um how you know Jesus said that it would be better for him to go because if he couldn't, if he wouldn't go, then he couldn't be in all of us, and he could only be so doing so much, physically bound on one place.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: But when he went, he sent the Holy Spirit, who can now be in each and every one of us.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: And if each and every one of us would rise up and do what God called us to do, we we would reach this world like in no time.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I really believe.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: And so then I basically shared on how people are not aware, do not know that they have been given not only a command, but they also have been given authority, they have been given power.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: And um they don't use it, they don't apply it because they don't know that they have it.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Father God, thank you for this teaching, and I pray that we can get the message over to those who listen, Father, that they will be transformed and they will grasp this and start to apply it in their own lives and can make a difference and will make a difference for your kingdom.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: I give you all the praise and all the glory in Jesus' name.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: And so basically, I came to the point where I shared to that people don't really know what they have, they don't know that they have authority, you know.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: And I know that there are a lot of uh Christians that are just waiting on the Lord, they even sing songs about it.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just waiting on the Lord, you know.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: Man, you can wait a lifetime and not see him, you know, because he already called you to do what he called you to do.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: And if we are just waiting for the Lord to say something, to give us a word, to prompt us, you know, to give us some big vision, some revelation, or anything like that, and you're just waiting on that.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just waiting on the word from the Lord, I'm just waiting on the Lord for him to send me.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just waiting on the Lord for him to say something to me, to confirm me, whether I need to go or not.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm telling you, my brother, my sister, I don't want to be harsh in any way whatsoever, you know.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_01: But man, you you know, I'm gonna say that somebody else said it and I and I stole it from them.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: You know, somebody says, you know, well, why you think that they are called the disciples?
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: You know.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you, man, a lot of us are the disciples because we are so dull and do not understand that he already gave us commands, he already gave us instructions, he already has sent us to go and preach the gospel of the kingdom, heal the sick, cleanse the leopard, and raise the dead.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we are waiting for some sign to come from heaven, we are waiting for a lightning bolt to come from heaven, you know, before we're gonna take action and just say, I'm waiting on the Lord.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: But he already finished it.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: He said, It is finished, and now he says that you need to go.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: Ah, but I need a word.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: His word is full with instruction.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: If you need a word, hear you got word.

  SPEAKER_01: And as you go, you know, and uh let me just, you know, I don't know.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: I've got so many commands here in the Bible that Jesus gives us, you know, when you go, if you go, and when you go, and therefore go, you know, it's go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's constantly where he says that we need to go.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: We just need to do what he says and don't be afraid because we got the power.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I've got the power.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_01: He gave me the power, amen.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: And so he tells me to go.

• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus is the one that baptizes with the Holy Spirit.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: All you got to do, if you're not sure if you are being baptized with the Holy Spirit or not, if you do not speak in tongues, you know, if you don't feel bold and have utterance of the Holy Spirit to go and to share the word of God and all this kind of things, and you need to be baptized with the Holy Spirit, man, just close your eyes for a moment and let us pray together right now.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: And just say, Father God, you promise in your word your Holy Spirit to your children.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: I am your child.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: You promise the power of the Holy Spirit that will come upon your children.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: I want to receive the promise.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_01: You also say in your word that Jesus is the one that baptizes with the Holy Spirit.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_01: And so I ask you now, Jesus, baptize me with your Holy Spirit.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: Let your power fall upon me.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: Fill me with your anointing and give me the boldness and the authority to be a witness, to preach your gospel, to have words of wisdom, to have revelation and prophecy and insight, to serve others and minister to others your good news of the gospel of the kingdom.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: I receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit right now in Jesus' mighty name.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_01: If you feel some utterance within your spirit, just open your mouth and start to make these sounds that He is trying to let you make.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_01: So you will start to speak in a new tongue and you will start to proclaim and you know worship the Lord in a new tongue.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Father God, for your power.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you for your anointing.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you that you have touched those people's lives right now and that they have received the power of the Holy Spirit upon their lives.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_01: The Bible says that if we believe, that we will receive.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_01: And so we have just prayed for you.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: If you were not yet baptized with the Holy Spirit, that you will would receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_01: I want to encourage you to go read the Bible verses, chapters in John 15, 16, and 17 about the Holy Spirit.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: I want you to reach out to the Holy Spirit because He's a person that wants to have a relationship with you.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_01: I will teach on that also here at One Gospel.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: But for now, just giving these tools to you, just seek Him and talk with Him like He is standing right before you here in the room.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: You just talk with Him and say, Holy Spirit, I need you to show me things.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: I need you to lead me, to guide me, I need you to come, you know, work through me.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, Holy Spirit, I want to have communion and relationship with you, Holy Spirit, and you just empower me to do the work that God called me to do as an ambassador of the kingdom and as a witness of the kingdom.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: And so just give me the boldness to go and preach the gospel of the kingdom to anybody that I encounter in my life and just create this relationship and this community with the Holy Spirit.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_01: Seek Him in these few days, and you will start to notice a huge difference.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: And so that was really important and really powerful.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: And so when you have the power of the Holy Spirit upon your life, he calls you to go to preach the gospel of the kingdom and to cast out demons, heal the sick, and raise the dead.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, God will confirm whatever you do when you go out in the power of the Holy Spirit.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: When you go out as an ambassador of the kingdom of God, He will confirm it with signs and wonders.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: You got something, and you are waiting on God to send you, but He already sent you.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_01: Go, He says.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: Go, do what He says.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: You don't have to be afraid.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: You have been given the authority to take the name of Jesus upon your lips.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: You have been given the authority over the devil.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: Look what it says in James 4, verse 7.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: James 4, verse 7.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: This is very important also.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: James 4, verse 7, it says here.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: Therefore submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: Submit to God means to be obedient to him, means to obey him.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like Jesus says, Why are you calling me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_01: Why his mom says in John 2, 5, you know, whatever he tells you, do it.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: His father says in Matthew 17, 5, he says, This is my beloved son, you listen to him.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: And so Jesus says, Hello.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I give you all these commands.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm teaching you all these things.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: You know, like it says in Matthew 28.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: Like it says here in Matthew 28.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: I just want to quote it correctly.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: He says, All authority has been given, verse 18, has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_01: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: Teach them to observe all the things that I have commanded you.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm with you.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: Don't have to be afraid.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he says, submit to God.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: This is submitting to God when you are going, when you're gonna make disciples of all the nations, and when you are baptizing people in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and if you are teaching them to observe all the things that He has commanded you to observe.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: And there are a lot of them.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: I want to encourage you to go to my study called Rabbi Teacher here on One Gospel.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that will tell you more and more about what you know Jesus commanded us to do.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: Because we are only doing like a little bit of what he commanded us to do.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: And man, but he says, therefore submit to God.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: That's the first step.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: We need to submit to God.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_01: And then it says also to resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_01: When you know who you are in Christ Jesus, and you know that you are walking in the will of the Father, that you are obedient to him, obedient to his word and his commands, you don't have any doubt in your heart, or nor any fear in your heart to resist the devil when he comes against you with whatever fiery dots, if he comes against you with whatever lie, whatever accusation, whatever situation, whatever circumstance, when he comes against you with whatever storm, you just resist the devil, man.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: You go out and sit in the corner, you ugly snake that you are.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he will flee from you if you know that you have authority, if you know you have power, if you know who you are in Christ Jesus.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: The Bible says that we need to put on the whole armor of God, that we should, you know, gird our loins with the truth and put on the breastplate of righteousness, and that we should, you know, feet uh shot our feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: Now don't shoot your feet, you know, but get your feet prepared with the gospel of the peace.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that you are willing to go and preach the gospel of the kingdom, that you are immersed with the truth of the word of God, that you put on the breastplate of righteousness, that you know that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, you know, and I am righteous, I walk righteous, talk righteous, act righteous, be righteous because he is righteous, and so I'm righteous with his righteousness, and so I'm gonna walk like I am righteous in the name of Jesus.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: And then it says you take on the shield of faith with which you can quench all the fiery dots of the wicked one, you know.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_01: Satan will fire darts on you, fiery darts, constantly, fiery darts, fiery darts, fiery dots.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: But if you know who you are in Christ Jesus, you just take up that shield of faith.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_01: You're not afraid, you resist the devil.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: You know, you you do that, you know, and then it says that you put on the helmet of salvation, that you know that you are a child of the living God, that you know that you are already completely new, and that nothing ever can change that again because nobody can snatch you out of his hand.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: And then it says you take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, the sword of the spirit, if you want the Holy Spirit through you to counterattack the enemy, to counterattack whatever comes against you or anybody else, if you want the spirit of God to counterattack and to come against it, you he will do that through the word of God.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: Because the spirit, the sword of the spirit is the word of God.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: And so, if you want to give the Holy Spirit a sword in his hands, you will start to say to say the word of God.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_01: You need to know who you are, you need to know what your identity is, what your authority is, and you need to know what the word of God says, so that when that snake comes against you, when he is accusing you, or whenever he comes against you, in what way whatsoever, you just take the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, and you just speak against that enemy.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: In the name of Jesus, I command you, in the name of Jesus, I rebuke you, in the name of Jesus, I cast you out, in the name of Jesus, be loosed in the name of Jesus.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: You go right now, you take your authority.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: The word of God says, you know, it is written, the same way that Jesus came against the devil when you tried to deceive him, you know, with the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh and the pride of life, that all that is in the world, he came against Jesus.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: But Jesus only said, It is written, you know, thou shalt not eat bread alone, but each word that comes from the mouth of God, that proceeds from the mouth of God, it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord God and God alone.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: And so he just came with the sword of the Spirit, the word of God against every attack of the enemy.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: And so it says that we can resist the devil and he will flee from you.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: This is taking your authority.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_01: Authority is power, that's what authority is.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_01: We don't take our authority to over to overshout things or to you know to overrule people or to you know just take authority over people and things.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: No, we need to take authority over the devil.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: We need to need to take authority over the works of the wicked one, over strongholds, over demons.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_01: We need to take authority over everything that comes from the enemy and the enemy's camp.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: You need to take authority.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_01: And the Bible says that you and I can go into the enemy's camp and take back what the devil stole from us.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_01: It's a beautiful song.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: How many times you don't read in the Bible that they just went into the enemy's camp and just took, you know, whatever they took, you know, Abraham with Lot, you know, and David, you know, and then come on, man.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: You need to understand what your authority is, and you need to know, you know, that God gave you the authority to go out and to make a difference.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: God says in Psalm 89, 34, he says, My covenant I will not break nor alter the word that has gone out of my lips.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: So when God says something, it is so.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, if he says that you have authority, if he says that you can cast out demons, if he says that you can raise the dead and heal the sick, if he says that you can go and preach the gospel and be a witness to all the nations, then you have authority and you can do that.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: Because God is not a man that he should lie.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: He he if he says that you can do it, then just do it.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_01: Just do it.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_01: We need to take action and do what he says.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: We need to bear fruit.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: Look what Jesus says in John 15.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_01: In John 15, man, this is powerful stuff, man.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_01: And we really need to understand.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: If you want to do effective evangelism, you've got to understand that you have authority, and that whatever can come against you.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I've been in situations, you know, where the devil just tried to scare me off.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_01: I had people standing in front of me, cursing me, throwing, you know, voodoo stuff at me, and all that kind of stuff.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: I have people, you know, waving their arms with fists, you know.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like waving around me, you know, and doing all that kind of stuff, you know.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: Ah, people saying that they felt that they needed to kill me, you know, and you know, and they wanted to bring a gun to one of my events to kill me and all that kind of stuff.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I had some crazy stuff against me.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: I never have been impressed.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: Never.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: Because the devil can't do anything against me, because that's what my Bible teaches me: that nothing will harm me.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_01: Nothing will harm me.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, and even you know, if I die, then I go immediately to be with the Lord.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: Amen.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_01: Which, according to Paul, is best anyway.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't have a death wish, I just say that the enemy comes, but when you resist him, he will flee from you.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: You don't need to flee from him.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_01: That's why your back is not protected when you put on the armor of God.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_01: Your back is completely naked.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: You see, you have the shield, you have the helmet, you have your loins girded, you have a breast plate, you have your feet shot with the preparation of the gospel peace, you have a sword in your hand, which is the word of God, and your back is unprotected.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: Because God doesn't call you to be somebody a coward that runs away when the enemy comes, roll over and just surrender.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: No, he calls you to take a stand and to resist the devil, and he will flee from you if you know who you are in Christ Jesus and what your authority is.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: You just need to go and do what God tells you that you can do and not to be afraid.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_01: You don't have to be afraid.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_01: God is for you, and if he is for you, then who can stand against he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: You are more than a victor because he who is in you.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm telling you, God always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus, always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: You need to understand that.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_01: John 15, here in verse 14, it says, You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus says, You are my friend if you do whatever I command you.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: And I've got so many people in the body of Christ that just do not do whatever he commands them.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I don't say that I walk it out all perfectly, but I'm aiming to.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I want to be excellent, you know, I want to be obedient, you know, and I have to bring sacrifices, I need to cut off things in my life, I need to repent from stuff and let it go and no longer walk in it and all this kind of stuff, because I want to do whatever he commanded me, not just a few commands.
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever he commands me, I want to do it.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_01: And so what he commands me in this particular thing that we are talking and teaching on is he commands me to go out to heal the sick, to cleanse the lepers, to raise the dead, to cast out demons, to preach the gospel of the kingdom, and that I've received it freely and then need to give it freely, and that he will be with me.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_01: The power of the Holy Spirit is with is upon me.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: And so if he tells me to go, then I need to go.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_01: If he tells me that I need to preach, then I need to preach.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: If he tells me to heal the sick, then I need to heal the sick.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna fight with my religious mindset what God says that I can do.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if if I would just believe what God says, then whatever is not in line with what God says and holds me, holds me away from what God says, to do what God tells me to do, then that's a lie.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_01: I need to rebuke that, I need to send it away.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: I need to resist the devil and he will flee from me.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: I can do what God says that I can do, and I have what God says that I have.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_01: Man, this is powerful, man.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_01: He didn't call us to be passive.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_01: Luke 1.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: He called us to rise up, and you are called to rise up and take action.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_01: Man, I've got a lot more to share.
• 25:57
