  Speaker 2: many people God will use your understanding to set free.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I prayed my heart out and I told God, ask
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: for me. I will give my best in partnership with
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: your spirit. It's up to you now to listen because
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: for someone, God is going to be answering your age-long.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Prayer for you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And I know that we minister healing, we minister deliverance
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: all the time. But you see, when the word of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: God is taught, God gives you understanding. I'm trusting that
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: God will so rubbish the devil and demystify him in
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: this series that you will see the practicality of your.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Authority in Christ. In the name of Jesus.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: John chapter 8 from verse 36. Let's read from Amplified.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: John chapter 6.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Chapter 8 from verse 36 says, Let's read together.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Are you ready? One, two, read.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: So if the Son liberates you, makes you free men,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: then you are really and unquestionably free.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: One more time.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: So if the Son liberates you, makes you free men,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: then you are really and unquestionably free.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Really free.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: And unquestionably free. May that be your testimony in the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: name of Jesus. So this is a discourse on the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: subject of demonology and deliverance. We want to examine... the
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: basis for the liberty of the saints, that it is
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: God's desire and the Bible has made it very clear
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: that there is a level of liberty that the saints
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in light should walk in, free from the orchestrations of
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: darkness whatsoever. But as it is, you know by now
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: that this is a kingdom that operates by light.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Say light.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Light.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Please shout it again. Say light. This is a kingdom
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: that is knowledge dependent.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: That means no matter if there's someone under the anointing,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: please help them.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Is a kingdom that operates by light. That means it
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: truly does not matter what God says or does not say.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: If you are ignorant of the dynamics, it can make
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: what God has said as potent and as powerful as
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: It can make God look helpless in your life.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Hosea chapter 4 and verse 6, my people are destroyed
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: for the lack Of knowledge.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: My people.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Although they are my people. They are destroyed. For the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: lack of knowledge. So this is a three part series.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Today will be part one. Next week will be part two.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: The week after. Part three. This is a very serious discussion.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Let's have the course content down.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Part one. Please write. All that we are going to
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: be discussing. Part one.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: We're going to be looking at the biblical basis for
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the study of Satan and demons.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: On that part one, we're going to be looking at.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: The biblical basis for the study of Satan and demon.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Does the Bible give us the allowance to study Satan,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: to study demons? Is it scriptural to study the orchestrations
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: of darkness? The biblical basis for the study of Satan
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and demons.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Number two.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Under part one, we're going to look at the origin
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: of Satan and demon spirits.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Where did he come from?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: What exactly is his agenda? What is Satan about?
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Who is he? Who was he? The origin of Satan
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: and demons.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: You can't imagine how ignorant many believers are as far
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: as the knowledge of these spiritual truths concerned. Number three,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: We will look at the reality of evil. The reality
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: of evil. You can put a dash there. In scripture
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and in our world today. The reality of evil. Dash
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: in scripture and in our world today.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Let me repeat.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Part one will be discussing the biblical basis for the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: study of Satan and demons. Then we'll look at the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: origin of Satan and demon spirits. We want to examine
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: from the lens of scripture where this adversary who has
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: oppressed God's people so much, where did he come from?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And what is his mission? What exactly is his goal?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Why is he so determined to destroy every one of
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: us if allowed? And then the reality of evil, we'll
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: first look at evil from scripture and then in our
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: world today.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Can I give you part two or do we leave
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: till next week? Part two.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: What are we going to be discussing under part two?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Number one, the.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Structure and the operation of Satan and demons.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Under part two now. Don't confuse your notes. Organize it
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: so that when you are studying, you understand what you
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: are writing. The structure and operation of Satan and demons.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: The Bible is very clear as to the fact that
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Satan operates a very intelligent organogram. There is a structure there.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: There is hierarchy. There is a way that Satan operates.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: So we'll look at the structure and the operation of
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Satan and demons. Then we will now begin to examine
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: proper the biblical concept of deliverance.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: That's the next point. Part two now.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: The structure and the operation of Satan, demons. Then the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: biblical concept of deliverance. the biblical concept of deliverance. Number three,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: under part two, access points. We're going to be examining
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the concept of access points. What are the gateways that
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: give Satan access to the life of the believer, of
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: a people? Because the Bible lets us know that Satan
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: can have access points and he can lay claim over
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: people and over destinies. And then we're going to be
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: looking at the nature of the flesh. This thing the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Bible calls the flesh. We understand from scripture that this
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: is the principal access point that Satan has.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: We will be examining the flesh. Do you have that down?
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: The structure and the operation of Satan and demons, then
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the biblical concept of deliverance, then access points, and then
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the flesh. Part three, very quickly. Under part three, we're
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: going to look at the topic administering deliverance. Number one,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: under part three, administering deliverance. We'll be studying the administration
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: of deliverance. How do we administer deliverance? Under that topic,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: if you want to put as a subtopic, we'll put
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the three levels of complete deliverance. You may want to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: add it. Under administering deliverance, subtopic three. The three levels
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: of complete deliverance. Remember the whole series is called complete deliverance.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: You will be learning that it is possible to experience
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: a level, a measure of deliverance and not be delivered completely.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: But the Bible says that whosoever the son sets free,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: that he ensures that that person is really and unquestionably free.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: The three levels of complete deliverance. Then we'll be looking
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: at what I title weapons of victory. Weapons of victory
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: slash the whole armor of God. Weapons of victory slash
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: the whole armor of God. There is such a thing
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: as the whole armor of God and there are weapons
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: that have been given to us as believers to command
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: and maintain our victory in Christ. So we'll be looking
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: at weapons of victory slash the whole armor of God.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Then hopefully we'll touch here and there what I put
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: here as imbalances around the subject of deliverance.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: You may want to add it somewhere.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Imbalances around the subject of deliverance. We will be looking
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: at what is biblical about deliverance and what is not biblical.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Because I can assure you, it is not everything that
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: is done around the deliverance, apostolic and prophetic ministry that
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: is biblical.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: And scriptural.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: We must be able to put perspective so that God
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: will grant us grace.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Can you lay your hands on what you just wrote
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and say, Father, I receive understanding. It will not just
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: be a note, but it will be transferred to my
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: spirit and the benefit will speak in my life here
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: and now.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, please. Pray one minute.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Lay your hands as a prophetic point of contact and pray,
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: declaring by the Spirit. that you will not just be
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: here as alone, but you will be doers in the
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: name of Jesus Christ.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Amen and amen.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Right, so please pay attention as I begin to teach
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: the Lord who grant us grace in Jesus' name. Now,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: theologically speaking, the subject of Satan, demons, exorcism, deliverance comes
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: under a theological caption of demonology.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Are we together now?
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Demonology is the study of demons, Satan, the satanic structure,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: and everything that relates to the operation of darkness. I
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: have taught you that in studying the Bible from a
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: theological angle, it is broken into parts. many structures to
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: enable the believer have understanding. We have theology, comes from
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the word theos, the study of God, the triune nature
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of God.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: So you study God to know who he is, and
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: then it helps you to be able to relate with God.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Then we have anthropology. Anthropology comes from the word anthropos,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the study of man. Our biological build-up, our historic build-up
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: and all of that is an attempt to know and
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: to understand man as the zenith of God's creation.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Who is man? And what is it about man? Why
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: did God mandate man to be the chief steward of earth?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: And then we now look at things like demonology, the
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: study of Satan, demons. the satanic structure, what was Satan
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: looking for when he came to tempt man, and the
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: fall of man and all of these things. Then we
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: look at what we call soteriology. Soteriology is the study
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: of salvation, the entire plan of salvation, beginning from the
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: fall of man until the resurrection of Jesus.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Then we look at pneumatology. Pneumatology is the study of
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: the ministry, the person, the ministry, and the office. of
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. Because when Jesus died and resurrected, he
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: gathered the disciples together and handed them over to the ministry.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: So our dispensation, the dispensation of the church age is
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: also the dispensation of the Holy Spirit.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: So we have pneumatology and then we have, well, there
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: are other, interjections here and there like Christology, the study
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: of Jesus now as that plan. Jesus was not just
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a man, Jesus was also a strategy, God's strategy given
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to man to redeem man. Then we study ecclesiology, now
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the church, the church, the fruit of redemption. We have
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: now come, this is where we now teach on kingdom advance,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the gospel, influence, spiritual growth and maturity, what the local
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: assembly is about, you know, and all the facets of
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the kingdom. And then we wrap up by... Studying from
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: a theological standpoint. Now what we call eschatology. Eschatology is
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: the study.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Of the end times.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: The Bible says if our hope is only in this world,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: we are of all men most miserable. So we have
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: to understand through the eye of prophecy what lies before
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: us as things begin to unfold. So that is classically
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: how to study the Bible. When you want to have
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: a rich and balanced spiritual growth, you compartmentalize these aspects
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: and you study them in detail they may not carry
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: all those names but it is important that believers be
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: exposed to all these seven or eight dimensions to be
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: holistically built if you are left if you are left
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: out in any of these areas aforementioned you will find
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: out that your spiritual growth will be lopsided are we
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: together praise the name of the lord Now, write this
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: down just for the records. The word deliver, the word deliver, D-E-L-I-V-E-R,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the word deliver occurs about 594 times in the entire Bible.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: The word deliver occurs about 594 times in the entire scripture,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: meaning from Genesis to Revelation, Of course, factoring the different versions,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: the word deliver occurs about 594 times in the entire Bible.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: And then the word deliverance, deliverance occurs 179 times using
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: 12 translations as a reference. If you use the various
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: translations that we have, the 12 major translations as a reference,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the word deliverance occurs 179 times. If you use the KJV,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: for instance, for many of us who are King James people,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: it occurs about 41 times in the entire.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Bible, using KJV as a reference.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: That is to tell you that it must be a
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: very serious subject for it to have this kind and
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: this frequency of occurrence. Now let's look at the biblical basis.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: We're looking at the biblical basis of for the study
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: of satan because the reason why i'm teaching this is
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: there are many people in the body of christ preachers
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: believers who believe that it is anti-christ anti-kingdom even anti-new
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: creation to ever deal with anything that has to do
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: with satan in fact most people may want to suggest
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: that anything that has to do with demonic activities, demonic
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: structure should not be mentioned among God's people. And those
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: suggestions are very sincere, you must understand. It comes from
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the understanding that it is out of the abundance of
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: what is in your heart and your mind that you
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: live out. And that if you spend your time studying
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: on Satan, studying on demons, chances are excellent that your
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: entire life will be governed by fear and all of this.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: So the people who purport negating Satan and all of
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: these things and focusing on Jesus, they are teaching from
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: a well-meaning standpoint. But many of you know that for
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: you to become exceptional in anything, you must be exposed
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: to all the dimensions of that thing. When you are
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: teaching someone how to drive professionally, there must be a
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: study on accidents.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: There must be a study on what to do.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: There is no pilot who becomes professional who will not
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: study what to do if and when a plane crashes.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: That does not mean the goal is for him to crash.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: But woe betides a pilot who never went through the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: lecture on how to manage situations like that. By the way,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: let me give us our foundational scriptures. My apologies, I
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: didn't give us scriptures. I will give us, let me
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: give us four or five. We're going to do a
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: lot of Bible reading. We're Christians, and this is a
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: very deep and this is a very touchy subject, so
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: we need to do a lot of leaning on scripture.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Obadiah 1 and 17, first scripture, in addition to that
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: which we Open the teaching with Obadiah 1.17. But upon
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Mount Zion shall be deliverance. Where will deliverance happen? So
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: the idea that deliverance should not happen in the house
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: of God is already, this scripture just answers it one.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Time for all.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: That upon Mount Zion, that is even the proper place
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: where there should be deliverance and there shall be holiness
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. Matthew
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: chapter 6 and verse 13. Surprisingly, this is Jesus himself teaching.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Are you ready to read what he said? And lead
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: us not into temptation, but deliver us. Jesus is teaching
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the people how to pray. And he's saying in your prayer,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: make sure that this is captured. That you should be delivered.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: And he tells you what you should be delivered from.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Evil.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: That means you can become a victim of evil if
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: you are not delivered from it.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Luke chapter 4, please, and verse 18. Jesus now went
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: to the temple. Remember, after his temptation, Jesus went to
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: the temple. In fact, let's start from verse 17 so
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: that we put perspective to it. The Bible says, can
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: we back up 16?
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Let's do 16. It will be very fair.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, he came to Nazareth where he had
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: been brought up. And as his custom was, he went
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and stood up
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: for to read.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: 17 now.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: And there was delivered to him the book of the prophet.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: So we know that it was not a book, a
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: superstitious book. We know that it was not some Christian science.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: It was the book of prophet Isaiah. And when he
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: had opened the book, he found the place where it
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: was written.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Now let's read 18 together. Ready? One, two, read. The
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: spirit of the Lord is upon me.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Because he had anointed me to preach the gospel to
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the poor. He had sent me to bind up the
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: broken hearted. To preach. One more time that line. To
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: preach deliverance to the captives. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: On, hold on.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: To preach deliverance to the captives. That means it tells
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: you immediately. that deliverance is not only conducted, deliverance is preached.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: There is a dimension of deliverance that is preached. It
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: is not just about laying on of hands. We're coming there.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: To preach deliverance to the captives. And recovering of sight
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: to the blind. To set at liberty them that are bruised.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Just stop there.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: So Jesus said, part of my assignment, my messianic, the
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: description of my assignment is is to also do something
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: about the issue of those who are in captivity. To
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: bring deliverance for them. We already dealt with John 8, 32.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Let's look at the last scripture, 2 Timothy chapter 4
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and verse 18.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I want you to read this one loud and clear
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: when we have it. Are you ready? May that be
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: your testimony in Jesus' name. One, two, read. Let's read together.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil walk
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom to whom
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: be glory forever. It says the Lord shall deliver me
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: from how many?
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Every evil walk.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: So there is something called evil walk, the walks of darkness,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: programmed against individuals.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: And he said, the Lord shall deliver me.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Now, from a theological standpoint, the first mention of the
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: word deliverance, strangely, is found in Genesis 45 and verse 7.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: And this had to do with Joseph speaking about the
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: reason for why he came to the palace.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Joseph is speaking now to his brothers.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: He said, God sent me before you to preserve you
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: a posterity in the earth and to.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Save your lives. How? By a great deliverance. So what
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: does deliverance do? It can save.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Deliverance also leads to salvation. That the way to be
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: saved is through deliverance. God sent me before you to
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: preserve you a posterity in the earth. and to save
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: your lives by a great deliverance.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Is there a biblical basis for the study of Satan?
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: No.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Is there a biblical basis for the study of demons
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: and their operations? Is there a biblical basis for the
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: study of deliverance? Should the believer study the subject of deliverance?
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Why do we need to study deliverance?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: At least we know for a surety that Jesus died,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: he defeated Satan.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: He said it is finished.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: We know that today he's seated at the right hand
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: of the Father. We know he has given us the victory.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Why then do we have to study Satan? Why then
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: do we have to study demons? Why then do we
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: have to study the operations of the satanic kingdom? Why
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: do we have to study the subject of deliverance? Is
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: there a biblical basis? Now please look up. Let me
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: teach you how.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: How to extract the thoughts of God in scripture. Anything
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: is qualified to be a doctrine. I have taught you
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: about doctrines. The word doctrine comes from the Latin word doctrina.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: It means a predefined body of knowledge that is intended
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: to make a student become something exact.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Doctrine. Are we together?
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: And that believers mature in this kingdom through the sound
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: exegesis of doctrine.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Every time doctrine is.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Communicated, it's able to empower the believers to be people of.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Stature and maturity.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Anything is qualified to be a doctrine if it passes
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: these three tests.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Never forget this.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Anything that cannot pass these three tests is not qualified
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: to be called doctrine. Number one, that subject matter or
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: that thought must be captured in the Old Testament. It
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: must be a subject that was captured in the Old Testament.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: That means you must be able to find scriptural references
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: where that subject matter was discussed and engaged in the
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Old Testament. Test number two, Jesus in his earth walk
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: must have taught that subject or acted in keeping with
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: that subject. So the first test is the test of
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: that subject being.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Taught or engaged in the Old Testament.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: And then it must be seen in the earth work
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: and the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Number three,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: that subject or that thought line must be captured in
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: the teachings of the apostles and the early church. So
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: any teaching that was not captured in the Old Testament,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: any teaching that was not captured in the life of Jesus,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: who midwifed the old and the new, any teaching that
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: was not captured in the life of the early church
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: and the apostles does not qualify to be doctrine. It
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: can be a supporting opinion that a prophet had.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Are we together now?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: So we can have the authority to to deal with
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: a subject using a doctrinal stance. If we can find
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: that subject taught or references made to that subject or
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: that thought line in the Old Testament, it must be
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: a subject that Jesus spoke about and it must be
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: a subject that we saw discussed.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: In the life of the apostles and the early church.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: So let's look at the subject of Satan, demons, and
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: their operation from the Old Testament.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: I'll be giving you a few references. Remember what we're doing.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: We're establishing the biblical basis for discussing this so that
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: your heart will be open because some of us, respectfully speaking,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: we have come through the journey of different Christian organizations.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: We've sat under.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Different well-intentioned, well-meaning men and women of God across the globe.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: And sometimes when you hear teachings like this, what is coming,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: there will be that fight, your loyalty to what you
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: have known before now, your loyalty to what your man
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: of God or whoever it is that mentored you spiritually.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: You can feel listening to a message like this is
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: a betrayal to your loyalty to a message that has
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: been taught you. And so I'm using the Bible so
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: that your heart will be open to now learn doctrine.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Are we ready?
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: In the Old Testament, the first idea of Satan, the
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: first idea of the operation of evil was revealed in
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: what we call the fall of man. Genesis chapter 3
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: and Genesis chapter 4.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Please write it down for reference. The fall of man.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: The Bible tells us that Satan was absolutely responsible for
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the fall of man. You find that in Genesis chapter
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: 3 and Genesis chapter 4.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: There are many stories.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: In the Old Testament, but because the Bible says in
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the mouth of two or three witnesses a matter is established,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: I will just use two or three references and then
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: that will suffice for this discussion. So, the first capture
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: of the reality of darkness, evil, Satan, and a discussion
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: that related to that. In fact, according to Scripture, It
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: was not only Adam that had a discussion with Satan.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Even God had a discussion with Satan.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Genesis chapter 3 and Genesis chapter 4. The second story
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: very quickly captured from the Old Testament as we see
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: is the story of Job. Now, classically speaking, in theology,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: the story of Job is believed to be the greatest
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: expression of the operation of Satan and darkness over man.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Because when you read the entire 42 chapters of Job,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: the most important, in my opinion, of the 42 chapters
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: is chapters 1 and 2 and then chapters 42. Chapters
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: 1 and 2 talks about the two levels of his test.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: The test on his wealth and his children, then chapter 2,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: the test on his health. And then chapter 42, we
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: see that it was the restoration of Job. Every other
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: thing that happened in between Elihu, the story, all of
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: that is important. The reason why I'm putting it before
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: others is I know that the book of Job from
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: a chronological arrangement of scripture, in as much as we know,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: comes before Psalms.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: But If the Bible were.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: To be arranged properly from its chronologically, the book of
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Job is believed to be somewhere in between Genesis and Exodus.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I hope you know that the arrangement of the Bible
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: from Genesis to Revelation, as we know now, is not
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: accurate in terms of its chronological arrangement. Nothing is exactly
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: wrong with it, but in terms of its chronology means
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: as the events occurred. Sometimes when you need to go
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: into the deeper layer of Bible study, you will have
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: to arrange the Bible chronologically to now make sense as
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: you explore. In fact, it is one of the ways
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: we studied scripture. Maybe one day we'll discuss it here,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: how to study the Bible. There are many templates for
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: studying the Bible. Number one, you can study the Bible
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: according to the various books. And the Bible is classified
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: according to various books. Number one, there is a Torah
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: or the Pentateuch, the five books of Moses.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Are we together? And then there is what is called
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: the poetic books.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: All of the books that have to do with poetic descriptions, Ecclesiastes,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: you know, Proverbs, and all of that. And then we
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: have what we call the prophets. The major and the
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: minor prophets.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Are we together? And then we have....
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: What we call the gospels, the four books that represent
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: the gospel.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: We have the book of Acts. We have the epistles.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Then we have Revelation.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: We also have Judges and all of these, all the
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: other books that chronicle the events of kings beginning from
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: King Saul. Because it was not God's desire that men
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: would have an earthly king.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: He wanted to be king directly over them.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: But because of their desire wanting a king, God used
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Samuel to anoint Saul. And then you have lots of
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: other kings that ruled Israel, Josiah and Joash being the youngest.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Josiah ruled at age nine, Joash younger. ruled at 88.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: We have a lot of other people like that. So
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: when you read the Bible, you can study the Bible
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: based on these books. You can also study the Bible topically.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Are we still learning? There is the topical study of
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: the Bible. That means you can pick faith and study.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: You can pick the ministry of Jesus and study. You
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: can pick the fruit of the Spirit. In fact, it's
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: the topical study of the Bible has proven to be
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: the most effective. The reason is because it addresses the
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: issue of your concern immediately. If you study the subject
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: of faith... and you gain understanding, you can begin to
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: see the results immediately and it will serve as a
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: motivation and a consolation. Then there is the chronological study
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: of Bible. The word chronos just means the passage of time.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: The arrangement of the chapters and the verses and the
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: books according to the time they occurred.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: So back to our discussion.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: We're examining the biblical basis for the study of Satan, demons,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: and their operations. And we said the Old Testament has,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: number one, the fall of man, seen in Genesis chapter
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: 3 and verse 4. And then number two, the story
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: of Job, the entire book of Job. But more specifically,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Job chapter 1, chapter.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: 2, and 42.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Chapter 1 and chapter 2 archives the events that happened
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: to Job. We don't have the time, we would have
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: gone through it But Job was a man, the Bible
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: records that he feared God and eschewed evil.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: And one day there was a gathering before the Lord.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: We're going to deal with that because you see, this
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: subject has a lot of schools of thoughts and controversial
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: angles to it.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: For instance.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: When you read the book of Job, you will see
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: that as at the time the sons of God went
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: to see God, the Bible says Satan was in their midst.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: It already uses that name, Satan, for him, meaning he
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: had fallen. He was never called Satan in his glorified state.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: His name was Lucifer. And yet the Bible says in
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: the judgment of Satan, there was no more found a
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: place for him in heaven. So you see, this already
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: brings controversy as there are schools of thought that believe
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: that Satan still has power. Access to heaven and access
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: to the presence of God till today. And yet others
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: use Revelation chapter 12 to say, no way, the Bible
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: says there is no place found for him.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: So let me say it.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Up front that the discourse about the entire subject of
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: demonology is not to create arguments, but to be able
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: to filter the factors that are useful to guide our understanding.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: We are not in a theological argument. My assignment is
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: to filter the parts that I believe in It's necessary
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: for our understanding and then we'll fire on from there.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: If you're with me, say amen. So we see the
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: story of Job. Number three, the third story in the
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Bible that talks about deliverance, of course, is the story
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: of Israel and their captivity in Egypt.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Nothing is more classic than that.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Israel and their captivity and the deliverance that happened for them.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Now, if you really want to study the.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: Context of deliverance, as it were, the deliverance of the
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: nation of Israel, here's how you have to study from
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Genesis chapter 4 to Genesis chapter 10.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: It will give you, sorry, did I say Genesis? Exodus. Exodus, please.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Exodus chapter 4 to Exodus. No, you don't have to
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: put it media. I'm just giving them Exodus chapter 4
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: down to Exodus chapter 10. It archives the entire journey.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: That's where you record the 10 plagues. Remember all the
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: plagues because Moses departs from the presence of God and
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: he goes to Pharaoh. And now he keeps returning, bringing
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: one plague after the other. But then when you want
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: to study the story of the deliverance out of Egypt,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: you begin your study from Genesis 13 verse 17.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Genesis 13 verse 17 down to.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Genesis 14 verse 31. Genesis 13 verse 17 down to
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Genesis 14 verse 31 gives you the complete story of
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: the deliverance from Egypt and ends with the Red Sea.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: So from the Old Testament, we see that the subject
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: of Satan and evil and the deliverances that follow was
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: not hidden. The fall of man, we see Satan there.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: The story of Job, we see Satan there. And then
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: we see deliverance and Israel and their captivity. Now let's
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: go to the life and ministry of Jesus quickly. So,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: We have passed test one based on the doctrinal requirements
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: to be able to study and teach any subject from
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: a doctrinal standpoint.
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: We see that in the Old Testament.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Now in the life of Jesus, is there anything that
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: relates to Satan, relates to his works, and relates to the.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Subject of deliverance? Number one, the temptation of Jesus.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: I can list almost everything there, but then just for reference,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: the temptation of Jesus. We find that in Luke chapter 4,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: from verse 1 to 3.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Please give it to us.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Luke chapter 4, 1 to 3, then right 16 to 22.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Luke chapter 4, 1 to 3, then 16 to 22.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Let me just read 1 to 3.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, and Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: the wilderness. We're reading to verse 3. Being 40 days
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: tempted of who? 40 days, Jesus tempted of the devil.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: And the Bible says, in those days he did eat nothing.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: And when the days were ended, he was afterwards hungered.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Verse 3.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: And the devil said to him, if thou be the
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: Let's read verse 4. And Jesus answered him. Who did
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: he answer?
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: Jesus.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: And said, it is written that man shall not live
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: by bread alone, but by every word of God. So
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: you read that and you find out that Satan came
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: to Jesus. And he came to carry out his ministry
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: of deception, his ministry of destruction. And Jesus did not
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: ignore Satan. If Jesus did not ignore Satan, we shouldn't
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: ignore him. Jesus would have said, Satan, I don't have
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: any business. I am the word of God. Let me
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: focus on my father's agenda. Jesus turned to Satan and
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: spoke to him. He said, it is written. Number two,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Jesus himself taught deliverance. Matthew chapter 12, please. Jesus taught
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: among the many teachings. Matthew chapter 12. Let's begin from
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: verse 43.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: For sake of time. Here's what Jesus taught.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Jesus himself taught about Satan and the fact that there
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: was something about Satan he wanted us to know. He said,
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: he walketh through dry places, seeking rest and finding none.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Who is giving us this information? Jesus. Next verse.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Then he saith, I will return into my house from
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: whence I came out. And when he is come, he
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Next verse.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, then goeth he and taketh with him
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: seven other spirits more than.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: That means there is a structure.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Jesus is the one showing us that all spirits are
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: not the same. Jesus uses the expression more wicked. That
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: other spirits are more wicked. Seven others more wicked than himself.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: And the Bible says they come together as a team
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: and they enter and dwell there. And the last state
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: of that man is worse than the first.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Look on.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: So when a man's later state is worse than the first,
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: what is the diagnosis?
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: It's in your Bible.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: That means the devil can afflict a man, the devil
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: can bring a condition, and from a physical standpoint, you
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: will find out that the condition is deteriorating. Jesus is saying,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: let me give you perspective to that. Something may have
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: happened that can translate into that worsening situation.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Jesus himself taught on the subject of deliverance. Jesus administered
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: deliverance himself. He didn't just teach, he administered deliverance. We'll
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: look at a few scriptures. Luke chapter 8 from verse 26.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Please write it down. Luke chapter 8. The Bible says
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: they arrived at the country of the gatherings. This was
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: the story of the madman in Gadara. Well, since we've started,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: let's just read it. We're reading, it's a long reading
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: to 39. Let's hurry up.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: Very quickly. Verse 27 now.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, and when he went forth to land,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: he met out of the city a certain man. Certain
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: man means it was not a parable. That man really existed.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Are we together? Which had what? Which had what?
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: You see the word devils there, it means then that
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: the word devil is not just the name of a person.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: It's a generic description. It's a character. Are we together?
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: He says that he met a certain man who had devils.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: How long?
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: So we see from this scripture that demons can remain
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: for a long time. Time does not drive demons. And
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: were not clothed, neither abode in any house but in tombs.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: before him. And with a loud voice he said, What
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: the Most High? That means demons are intelligent.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Did you see it there?
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: They call Jesus by an accurate description of who he
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: truly was.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: There is intelligence with demons. Yes. I beseech thee, he said,
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: torment me not.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: of the man. For oft times it had caught him
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: And he broke the bands and was driven of the
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: devil into the wilderness. And Jesus asked him saying, what
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: is thy name? And he said, legion. This is an information.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Because many devils were entered into him. So the Bible
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: here reveals to us that multiple demonic spirits can coexist.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: In a single human entity.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Are we together now? That it is not only one
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: spirit per body. As many demons, as many as a legion.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: These are very important information.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: 31.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: And they besought him that he would not command them
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: to go out into the deep.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: And the Bible says, and there was a herd of
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: many swine feeding on the mountain. And they besought him
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: that he should suffer them to enter into the swine.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: That means it is not only human bodies demons can enter.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: What else did they enter? And he suffered them. Next verse,
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: let's hurry up.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, and went out the devils out of
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: the man and entered into the swine and the herd
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: ran what? Violently down a steep place into the lake
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: and were choked.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I'll show you why we're reading. 34.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: And when they that fed them saw what was done,
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: they fled and went and told it to the city
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: and in the country. 35. Then when they went out
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: to see what was done, everybody see that there are
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: levels of deliverance. Now, this man, the spirit had left him.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: Is that true? But see what else they found.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: They came to Jesus and found a man out of
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: whom the devils were departed.
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: What was he doing? Sitting.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Where?
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: At the feet of Jesus. That is another level. The
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: demons had left him. The man would have gone. But
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: the Bible says his place of security was to sit
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: at the.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: Feet of Jesus.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: And now something was happening to his mind. In his
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: right mind. So the spirit leaving him was not all
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: it took. It took him staying with Jesus forever. And
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: then sitting at the feet of Jesus. And as a result,
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: something was happening to his mind. His mind was becoming right.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: I think we can stop there. Luke chapter 9 from
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: verse 37.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: Jesus administered deliverance himself.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, and it came to pass that on
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: the next day, when they were come down from the hill,
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: much people met him. This is Peter, James, and John,
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: the Mount of Transfiguration. The Bible says, and behold, a
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee,
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: look upon my son, for he is my only child.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: Look how wicked the devil is.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly cried out,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: and he teared him, and he fomed again. And bruising
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: him hardly departed from him. And I besought your disciples
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: to cast him out, and they could not. Everybody should
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: be able, don't rush media, let's work together. Go to
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: verse 40. Everybody should be able to cast out demons,
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: but unfortunately, Not everybody is able to cast out demons. Potentially,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: you would think everybody should be able to cast out
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: demons based on the authority of scripture. But in experience,
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: although these guys were the disciples of Jesus, We see
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: that it takes more than just being with Jesus to
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: have the ability to cast out demons. They were not rebels.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: They were people who were working with Jesus. And yet
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, I besought who? Thy disciples to cast
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: him out. And they could not. Verse, we're reading to 43, 41.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: And Jesus answered it, said, O faithless and perverse generation.
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: Jesus is telling us what was wrong now.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: How long shall I be with you and permit you,
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: he says, bring the son.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: I love Jesus.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: That after this discussion, that's what he will say too.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: That when you go somewhere and they tell you our family, everything,
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: you say, bring that family. I found something. Bring the
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: son hither. Verse 42. And as he was yet coming,
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: the demons know who is who. As he was yet coming,
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: before he came to meet Jesus, the Bible says the
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: devil threw him down and tear him. And Jesus rebuked.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: the unclean spirit, and healed the child. Two things happened. One, deliverance.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: The other, healing. Are you seeing that now? So that
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: man was not just, he was not just demonized. There
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: were two conditions. Meaning that behind most sicknesses are spirits.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Just ministering healing alone, you may find out that your
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: venture is frustrating. Most times in scripture, you will see
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Jesus casting out the spirit influence, then releasing the power
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: of God to correct the bodily deformity that that spirit caused.
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: Are we learning now?
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: He rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: delivered him again to his father.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: Last verse.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: But while they wondered, everyone at the things which Jesus did,
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: you know, he said unto his disciples, all of this,
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: this kind goeth not, but by prayer and fasting. So
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: we see that Jesus himself ministered deliverance.
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: Is someone learning? Let's look at two more scriptures. Are
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: you tired?
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Please don't be tired in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: Luke chapter 8, let's start from verse 1 to 3.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I just wrote a few here. And it came to
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: pass afterwards that he went throughout every city and village
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: And the twelve were with him. Verse 2. The Bible says,
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: and certain women which had been healed of evil spirits and.
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: Healed of what? evil spirits and infirmity.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: And among them, there was a woman called Mary of
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Magdala or Mary Magdalene. How many demons came out of her?
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: The Bible even will list it. Don't be afraid. There
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: is the imbalance part. So you can trust me. I'm
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: a good pilot. We will arrive safely in the name
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. Out of whom went seven devils. Look
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: at the advantage when people are delivered. Verse 3. And Joanna,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: the wife of Shuzah, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, which ministered unto him of their deeds.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: That means there are partners, there are helpers that the
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: devil know that will stand with you and stand by you.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: And this spirit will stop them. It was on the
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: strength of their deliverance. If you are wondering where Jesus
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: got money from, read your Bible. The Bible is saying
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: those women that have been impacted, they have been delivered.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: They went back and did whatever they did. They had
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: results and they returned back. Man of God, this is
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: the most scriptural way of funding for ministry. that you
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: change lives, you impact people, they go back, not everybody
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: will be too grateful to ignore you.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: If people are really.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: Really changed, 70 months out of this woman, and she
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: went back with her sound mind, and she said, no,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: I will not forget the man that was used to
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: save me and deliver me and the bible says they
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: came and ministered to him when you are not changing
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: lives and you want people to bless you in my
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: opinion it's not sincere i.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Can almost look at it as fraud In.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: As much as you don't pay a man of God,
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: you can't pay for the anointing. But I'm saying sincerely,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: let me give you a secret. Spend your life blessing people,
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: not anticipating that you're blessing so that.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: They will give you something.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Let them have genuine results in their lives and leave
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: them to surprise you.
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: It's cheaper than manipulation. Manipulation.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: So if you are finding out why Jesus and how
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Jesus became so blessed that he had a treasurer, it's
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: not superstition. It was not every day they went to
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: the river to get money out of the mouth of
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: a fish. It would be a stupid way of thinking
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: to believe that every day a fish will keep giving
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: you coins. The classic way, that was a miracle to
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: show something. The standard scriptural way of raising money for
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: ministry is not, a fish will not be eating coin
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: every day. It was just a You know what God
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: is teaching in that scripture? That there will be moments
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: of supernatural intervention.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: But that is.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Not God's classic way of doing it. God cannot be
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: helping you by intervention every day. Intervention means a principle
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: was violated and a consequence came from it. Now the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: mercy of God is coming to breach. So waiting by
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: a seaside. How did I get here? Waiting by a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: seaside bridge. For a fish, so you squeeze that fish,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: wouldn't the fish eat? It was just used for a miracle.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Impact people.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Bless them sincerely. Let them encounter salvation, healing. Let the
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: word transform their minds. Let them go back with the
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: word and produce results. And I guarantee you, the spirit
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: of God who anointed you to bless them is the
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: same spirit that will compel them to come back and
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: bless you.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: In fact, let me say this. Let me say this.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: Respectfully, to preachers and men of God, building men is
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: greater than building structures.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Structures are fine. Don't get me wrong.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Structures are great, but let your structure not be finer
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: than the men you are building.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: A building can be destroyed.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: Government can bring a bulldozer in five minutes and collapse everything.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: But you build men and the men will build the structure.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: And if it falls, they will build it again. And
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: if it falls, they will build it again. Matthew chapter 16.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: We're still starting, you know. You won't believe that.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: We're just establishing the biblical basis for studying this. But
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: I believe someone is learning already. Matthew chapter 16, verse 21.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: Verse 21. The Bible says, from that time forth, began
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: Jesus to show unto his disciples how that he must
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: go to Jerusalem and suffer many things of the elders
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: and chief priests and scribes and be killed and be
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: raised again on the third day.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: The Bible says, and Peter....
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Now, this deliverance issue is getting deeper. I understand healing
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: or delivering somebody who is a far off. But now,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Jesus is showing us something. This is among his fault. Peter,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: you too. haven't been with jesus jesus is talking about
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: his death his passion and peter took him and began
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: to rebuke him peter was rebuking jesus what was the
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: rebuke be it far from thee lord this shall not
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: happen to you should you not say amen to that
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: statement and jesus looks at him and say even though
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: this sounds like compassion Satan has taken advantage of your compassion.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Satan does not only use weaknesses, he uses strengths too.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: He's using Peter's compassion here to advise Jesus, don't even
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: think about dying.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: We're not ready to lose you.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: You would think that was a scriptural statement, but if
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Jesus heeded to that advice, we'd all be in hell today.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: But he turned and said unto Peter, who did he
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: speak to? Get thee behind me. Who? I hope you
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: know that until this time, Peter had gone to preach
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: and return with results. Will you accept that kind of
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: insult on your pedigree? You went to preach your ministerial
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: teaching practice. You returned with potent result. Please keep that scripture.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: And then Jesus looks at you from a compassionate heart
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: and says, get thee behind me, Satan. He said, for
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: thou art an offense unto me. For thou severest not
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: the things that be of God, but.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: The things that be of men. Next verse.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: 24, then Jesus said unto his disciples, if any man
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: will come after me, let him deny himself, take up
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: his cross and follow me. I'm sure Peter left confused. Satan,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: get thee behind me. What do you think the disciples
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: would do to him? You think they will eat in
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: the same place that day? We don't know where you have.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: You have been fishing at the river. Remember, riverine area.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: Only God knows what would have happened to you there.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: That Jesus is now rebuking you. Can I tell you this?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: There is a lesson here in as much as we're laughing.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: The lesson is that sometimes it takes discernment more than
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: the physical fashion of people to know that they need deliverance.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: They can be well behaved and calm.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: If you see someone misbehaving, it's easy to show that
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: there is a spirit.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: But there are.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Times even your compassion and the positive aspects of you,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: Satan can slip through it. And you will still be
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: coordinated and not know. Peter did not know that something
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: had happened to him. The same way someone can come
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: and advise you and say, look, the way this thing is,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: don't you think you should leave Nigeria?
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: Just go.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's wrong, except if it's God that
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: is telling you. Just leave Nigeria and go somewhere. You
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: are having a job that is paying you 500,000 and
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: the person can even come and sincerely tell you, I
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: had a dream. What is wrong with having a dream?
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: And the person sincerely had a dream. Oh, you will
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: be so blessed in this series. I will show you
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: that many dreams that people are having that is leading
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: to many problems in their lives were manipulations by demon spirits.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: Taking advantage of your sincerity. Yes, sir. There are many
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: people who have no.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: Business starting ministry, but the devil masqueraded as an angel
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: of light and showed them a dream that supposedly looked
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: like ministry. They left everything they were doing and moved
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: to another bishopric. They are suffering today thinking it's persecution
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: and they do not know that they are veered off
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: the plan of God. I pray that in this series,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: God will restore many people.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: Amen.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: There are people who have no business, no business going abroad,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: except that sometimes a preacher did not even know he
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: was not under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: And he spoke to them and said, do you know what?
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: I want you to leave this place, go to Lagos
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: or go to London or go to this place. And
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: in obedience and loyalty, believing it was the voice of God,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: they moved hoping to get into greener pastures. And some
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: of them have met all kinds of things. I hope
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: you know that we're not being judgmental. We're a people
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: of love. It's because we're teaching the subject of deliverance.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: That's why I ask you to pray that God will
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: open your eyes.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: Peter.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: How could Satan so slip into Peter that he did
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: not even know?
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: One last scripture.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: Matthew chapter 10 from verse 7 and 8. Jesus was
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: sending the disciples who would later become apostles of the Lamb.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: And he said, as ye go, preach saying, the kingdom
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: of heaven is at hand. Verse 8. Heal the sick.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Jesus is giving them an instruction now. Cleanse the lepers.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: Raise the dead. Cast out. That means if it is
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: true evangelism, you must meet devil somewhere. They will be
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: waiting for you in men. They will be waiting for
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: you in cities. Everywhere you see them, cast them out.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: So, we see this in the Old Testament. We see
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: this in the New Testament. Now, very quickly, let's examine
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: the life of the apostles and the early church. For starters,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: Acts chapter 8 and verse 5. Very quickly now, Acts
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: chapter 8 and verse 5. Philip went down to the
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: city of Samaria, the Bible says, and preached Christ unto them.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Verse 6, and the people with one accord gave heed
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: miracles which he did.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: Verse 7. What was a miracle?
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: For unclean spirits, crying out with a loud voice, came
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: out of many that were what?
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: Possessed with them.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: And many that were taken with palsies and were lame
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: were healed. Verse 8, the Bible says, and there was
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: great joy in that city. Scripture number 2, Acts chapter 16.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: We'll start from verse 16. The full text is to 21,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: but we'll just read 16 to 18. Remember the Bible says,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: it came to pass as we went to prayer, a
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: certain damsel said, possessed with a spirit of what?
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: Divination.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: So you see that it is very, very usual in
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: the Bible for spirits to be named based on how
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: they behave.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: Spirit of divination. There is the lying spirit. There is
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: a spirit of death. Are we together?
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: So here we have a lady possessed with a spirit.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: And the Bible names the spirit by its character. It's
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: called the spirit of divination that she met us. Which
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: brought her masters much good by soothsaying.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: Meaning she brought rewards. They were financial rewards. Verse 17.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: Verse 17.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: We can study this all night, dear people of God.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: There are so many things to learn from just this
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: one verse. The Bible says the same followed Paul and us.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Be careful who follows you. Just because people are following
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: you does not mean they are of the same spirit.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: The Bible says this lady was having a spirit of
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: divination and she brought profit. There is a relationship between
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: divination and profit. So you be careful. Not every profit
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: is profit. The Bible never said the lady brought loss
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: to them. Just because you are receiving rewards does not
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: mean it is of God. You must be careful. The
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: spirit of divination can also bring profits. Now watch this.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: The Bible says she followed Paul and us and cried, saying,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: These men are servants of the Most High God, which
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: showed unto us the way of salvation.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: Question, was she lying? When the devil lies, you know.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: But what if the devil tells the truth?
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: Because when the devil knows that you don't like lies,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: he will use truth on you. You've heard me say
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: truth can kill. Truth is like a knife. It is
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: not only a lie the devil uses to kill. He
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: can use truth and kill. The same followed Paul and
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: us and cried saying, these men are the servants of
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: the most high God. Why don't you like people who
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: are publicizing what you are doing? Genuinely and sincerely. Which
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: show us the way of salvation. Do you know the deception?
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: This is the classic character of Satan. You know what
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: Satan was achieving here? They were visitors in that city.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: So when Satan sees that he cannot fight you, he
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: will seek partnership. And the way he will partner with
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: you is by promoting what you represent.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: So that the day you.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: Are not in that city, when they can't find you,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: they will find who was with you. That's the strategy
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: Satan was using here. They were only there for a
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: few days and they would leave. But the girl was
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: there to stay. And the strategy invented was don't fight them.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: Support them. Promote their evangelism. After a few days, they
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: will leave. So that if we cannot find Paul because
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: he's far, we can find the diviner girl and her
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: ministry continues. Watch this now. Please give us that scripture.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: The Bible says she did this many times. So it
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: was not a mistake. She did this many days. And
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, and Paul being grieved. Being grieved for
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: supporting you. Being grieved for promoting you. The Bible says,
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: he turned and said to the spirit, I command thee
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: Paul teaches us how to cast out devils. That you
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: command them, not in your name. You command them in
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: the name of Jesus to come out of her. The
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: Bible says, and he came out the same hour. Now,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: I don't want you to read to 21 because you
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: will see that there were consequences that followed. When that
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: spirit left, look at what happened. In fact, let's just
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: read 19 and stop there. The Bible says, when her
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: master saw that the hope of their gain was gone,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: what happened? They caught Paul and Silas and drew them
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: into the marketplace and to the rulers. Twisted a story
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: so that we'll have them flogged. You know Paul and Silas,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: this is how they got to that prison. By casting
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: out That means it is not only how to cast
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: out demons you must know. You must also know how
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: to command deliverance for yourself for the consequence of casting
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: out demons. Because when you cast out demons, there can
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: be consequences. Those spirits will start moving men. And systems
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: and structures to come against you. But Paul and Silas
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: said we were well trained. At midnight. It is not
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: only casting out demons. We understand deliverance. We know how
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: to let these chains leave us.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: At midnight.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: Listen, I don't mean to scare you and we're not
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: glorifying Satan, but this is why it is important for
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: people to be mentored and trained. This our proud generation
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: of arrogance just because someone falls down.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 3: People believe they have all it takes. They have the
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: spiritual understanding.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: They go and throw into the enemy's camp a shrine
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: that was there before your grandfather was born.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: You just sweep everything and pack away your health, pack away.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: Your sanity and throw it in the bush and find
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: out that by the next day, the only part of
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: you that is moving is your right hand. Now, because
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: it's true that you intended to command deliverance for the city,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: but do you know the other dynamics?
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 3: They are called the weapons of victory.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: The Bible says before you tore the camp of the enemy,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: make sure you have upon you something called the whole
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: armor of God.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Sincerely, not to be sarcastic, but I know in my
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: time in ministry, I have seen people, even preachers, who
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: just took the risk to challenge native doctors, challenge herbalists.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: And the man was warning him. I won't listen.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: I came into this city. I am three months old.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: I am a child of God. Jesus died for me.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: You are right, but your revelation will soon show. Because
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: there were other men who spoke like that and they
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: went back untouched.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: T.L.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: Osborne would step into a city, scatter hell like that
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: and go back. Reinhard Bonnke went everywhere from Congo to
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: Nigeria to everywhere.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 3: Just help those under the anointing. Now, please look up.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: You've always heard me say, before you stand before Pharaoh,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: make sure you have seen the burning bush. Pharaoh is
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: a wizard. He will ask you who sent you. But
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: the people that do know their God. Not just the
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: people who want to move.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: It is the.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: People that do know their God. Can you pray in
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: the spirit in one minute? Your life is changing.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: You are gaining ascendance in the spirit.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Marvelous God. They know not, neither will they understand. They
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: walk on in darkness and all the foundations of the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: earth are.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: Out of course.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: But I have said, ye are gods and all of
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: you are children of the most high. But ye shall
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: die like mere men and fall like one of these princes.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now, please listen.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: There are people who have gone to confront the gates
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: of darkness.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: Please sit down.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: And they left with casualties untold. But there are others
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: who went to the gates of darkness, dared them to
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: their faces, scattered them until today they keep standing as
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: if Satan does not exist.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: The difference is light. Are we together? Are we together?
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: Growing up, I would watch Reinhard Bonnke laugh and get
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: to regions where people dread to go to. Organize his
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: crusade and ask people to bring all their instruments of divination.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: Have you watched it? Go and watch his videos.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: He does not just, in my opinion, I don't believe
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: that man was just an evangelist. A man that preaches
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: and a shrine can be born in somewhere, that's more
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: than evangelism.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: They would bring all the instruments, calls, human body parts,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: age-long covenants, and he would set it on fire with
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: joy and return back.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: Please help those under the anointing. Are we learning?
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: God is changing us in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: Now please listen very carefully. Jesus sent us and it
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: was clear that he sent us because of the results
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: that we are bringing. But if you have not stayed
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: to understand you're being sent and to understand the dynamics
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: of We're discussing Acts 16. You can leave and cast
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: out demons and the demons can come out and you
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: will be happy, but you will be surprised to find
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: out that casualties begin to happen. That means before you
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: ever sustain the courage to launch an attack, make sure
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: you are grounded as far as your spiritual fortification is concerned.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Do you know what it means to hold a miracle
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: service like this? Cast out devils, dead spirits, and then
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: go back home and sleep. I lay me down and
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: I wait for the Lord sustain me. I travel all
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: the time. I go from meetings to meetings, nations to nations.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: And there are all kinds of ways the devil can
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: easily attempt accidents, whatever, whatever it is, except for the
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: fact that light can fortify you like chariots standing before
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: a man. Can I tell you, Believe me, you cannot
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: pretend authority.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, your lifting has come.
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, your lifting has come.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 6: Your freedom has come.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: Your freedom has come. Please sit down. One more scripture.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: That gives us the basis to study about Satan, demons
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: and their operations.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: Two more really.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: 1 Peter chapter 5, very quickly on verse 8. 1
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: Peter chapter 5 and verse 8.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: May I request that we read it together? Ready? Please read.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: One to read. Be sober, the Bible says.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Be vigilant because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: walketh about seeking whom? That means there is an operation
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: of Satan that is in the similitude of a roaring lion.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: A roaring lion is a hungry lion, meaning it is
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: looking for food. I watch a bit of National Geographic,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: Nat Geo Wild, and sometimes I want to watch these
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: animals and the lion can be patient with hunger. And
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: just allows maybe a herd passing or some antelopes or
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: whatever it is. And with precision and determination. When it
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: looks at one, it does not see the rest again.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: It will pursue that one with an energy.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: Watch this.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: When the lion grabs it, there are two assignments of
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: the lion to kill. The first is to bring it down.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: Because once that animal is not down, the first assignment,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: no matter how large, sometimes it will be a coordinated task.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: It will be a coordinated attempt. The entire pride will
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: come in and they will bring, especially if it's a
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: big animal like an elephant, it will bring it down.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: Assignment number two, they will go to the throat immediately
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: and hold it and stay for as long as they
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: will stay. When it dies, they can now settle down.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: There's no reason to rush. It's already dead. So the
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Bible says, Satan as a roaring lion, meaning when he
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: comes around you, he's not joking. He's not playing games.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: He's not a prey fool. He means everything he wants
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: to do. And he says he worketh about seeking, seeking,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: seeking whom he may devour. But I've also watched times
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: when the lion made costly mistakes that he died for.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: For instance, elephants or something, and then it just comes
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: and tries to play games, and the elephant will lift
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: it like that, lift it like it's playing football.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: Revelations 12.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: We'll start from verse 7. It's getting interesting now. Revelations 12.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: And there was war in heaven. Let it not surprise
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: you when there are conflicts around your life. Even in heaven,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: there was a time the peace was disturbed.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: If there was war in heaven, it's not unusual to
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: have war in your family. It's not unusual to have
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: war in your finances. Even in heaven, there was once war.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: dragon fought against his angels. Verse 8.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: And prevailed not.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: Neither was their place found anymore in heaven. Verse 9.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: And the great dragon was cast out.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: That old. Take note of that word old. He's not
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: just a serpent. He's an old serpent.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: Meaning he has the advantage of age. That old serpent
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: who is called the devil and Satan, which deceived the
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: whole world. The Bible says he was cast into the...
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: We're going to discuss some things now. And his angels
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: were cast out with him.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: Are we there? Just leave us nine.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: The Bible says the great dragon who is called the
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: devil and Satan, which deceived the whole world.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: He was cast down to.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 3: Where was he cast down to? Think already.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: That means before Satan fell, earth was already there. It's
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: not that he was cast down and was moving in space.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: There was already earth and he was cast down there.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: And there was a lamentation when you read, woe to
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: the inhabitants of the earth. Verse 10, let's just finish
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: it up. And I heard a loud voice in heaven.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: Now is come salvation and strength and the kingdom of
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: our God and the power of his Christ. For the
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accused them
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 2: before God day and night. Go back to verse 9.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: I want to build something. The Bible says that the
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: great dragon, which was Satan, was cast down to the earth.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: Are you there?
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: Now go to verse 10. There's something I want you
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: to see. The Bible says, now salvation is come and
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: the power of his Christ for the accuser of who?
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: Brethren.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: The accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 2: them before God day and night. When you understand this,
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: because the next phase we are going to now is
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: the origin of Satan.
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: At least we'll touch on it a bit before we pray.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: And there are many things you have heard and known
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: about Satan that I'm going to tell you. Some of
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: them may trouble you now. Just take note of this scripture.
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: We're coming back there.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: Are you ready? Praise the name of the Lord. So
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: now we.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: Can agree safely from our study of the Old Testament,
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: the life and the ministry of Jesus Christ, The early
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 2: church and the life of the apostles, we know that
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: it is not a biblical error to study Satan, to
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: study demons, and to study the operation of the satanic kingdom.
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Very important.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: Now, very quickly, to conserve our time, let's study the
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: origin of Satan. Let me just speak a bit about it.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: Please pray in the spirit and ask the Lord to
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: grant you understanding. Who is Satan and where did he
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: come from?
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Let me just give us one more scripture to support
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: what we just discussed.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: Second, it just came to my spirit.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: Second Corinthians chapter 2 and verse 11.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: Very classic scripture. We'll be making reference.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: Lest Satan should get an advantage of us, for we
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: are not ignorant of his devices. We'll read 11 and 12.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: Lest Satan, he says... Furthermore, when I come to, okay, no, no,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: please go back to 11. I think maybe 10, 11,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: one of them. But less Satan, this is really the part,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: less Satan should get an advantage. That means ignorance gives
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: Satan an advantage. When we get to access points, you'll
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: be learning that one of the access points that gives
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: Satan an advantage over the believers is what? ignorance not
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: just ignorance of what you want ignorance of his devices
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: you can have knowledge of what you want and yet
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: have ignorance of his devices and he will still have
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: an advantage of you are we blessed right so the
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: origin of satan and demons i don't know if we'll
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: be able to do demons but wherever we stop we'll
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: pray because i want us to do a bit of
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: prayer tonight as god grants us grace Our study is
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: going to be from a biblical perspective. Biblical perspective. Why
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: is that so? Every religion of the over 4,000 plus
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: religions that we have registered on earth, every one of
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: them believes, acknowledges, serves, or talks about Satan in some way.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: Every religion that we know. Are we together now? Yes.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe except for a few religions that thrive purely on
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: human consciousness and do not believe in the existence of
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: spirits or any other thing, but most religions would acknowledge
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: the presence of an adversary called Satan. He's called several names. Now,
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: from Abraham... Let me give us a bit of Bible history.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: From Abraham, there are three major religions that came out
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 2: from Abraham. And usually in study of all of these
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: things from a classical now, we usually would use those
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: three religions for reference. That means from a classical study now.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 2: Number one is Judaism. Number two is Islam. Number three
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: is Christianity. These are the three faith practices that directly
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: came out of Abraham. Judaism, Islam through Ishmael, and then
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: the faith practice. Are we learning now? And all three
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: agree in the existence of an adversary. They call him
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: different names, but then we know for sure that Satan
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: is an adversary that we agree across religions. May disagree
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: across several things, but Satan has never, in most religions,
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: never been purported to be a friend.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: Now, so, when you read about Satan, it's important that
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: you state your reference.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: There are differences between the way.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 2: Satan is looked at in, say, Islam or in Judaism even,
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: and then in other faith practices, you know, Buddhism and
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: all of these other faith practices. They have several angles.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: So my discourse is with reference to Scripture. Are we
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: together now? Because you will go online and you will
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: find all kinds of extra-biblical references that attempt to bring
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 2: the history of Satan from several planes. some from the
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: intergalactic realm, some from transcendental masters, some from a scientific standpoint,
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: some from whatever it is.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not here to debate on all of that.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: We believe in Jesus and our reference for discussion and
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: growth is scripture.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: Is that clear? All right now, so.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 2: There are three major scriptures that theologians have used in
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: an attempt to x-ray us The origin of Satan. Very strangely,
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: the book of the beginnings, Genesis, is largely silent about
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: the beginning of Satan, which has confused theologians for a
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: long time because you would expect that the book of
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: the beginnings should capture everything to put context to our work.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: But the book of the beginnings does not seem to
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: state so much about Satan's origin. It just started straight
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: with his character and his operations. And so we need
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: to explore a few other scriptures to find reference.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: But the Bible very clearly, at least let's use Jesus
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: because one of the ways that we learn the ways
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: of God is Jesus. Jesus himself called Satan a thief
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: in John chapter 10 and verse 10. There are many
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 2: names that Satan is called in scripture. I will list
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: a few of them. Then we'll go to his original
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: name and begin from there. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: In John chapter 10 and verse 10, Jesus himself calls
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: Satan the thief. Very definite article. The thief that he
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: cometh not but for to steal, to kill, and to destroy.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: And Jesus says, I am come that they may have
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: life and that they may have it more abundantly.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 3: So Satan is called devil. We see one of his names, devil.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: And I told you that devil is, yes, is used
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: to identify that singular individual who heads the demonic kingdom.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: But more than that, the word devil is a generic description.
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: It comes from the Greek word diabolos. Diabolos, where you
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: get the word diabolism. The Greek word diabolos, and it
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: means the accuser or the slanderer. So the devil is
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: from the word diabolos, from the Greek, the accuser or
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 2: the slanderer. And then we have Satan or Satan now, right?
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: It means to oppose. One who opposes or one who
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 2: acts as an adversary. We have Satan being called the thief.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: We have Satan being called the enemy in the parable
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: of the wheat and the tears. The Bible says when
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: Jesus saw it, he said the enemy had done this.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: We see Satan called the evil one.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: We see Satan called in Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 2,
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: for instance.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 3: The prince of the power of the air. The prince
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: of the power of the air.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: He is also called the spirit that walks in the
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: children of disobedience. These are several names. Satan himself is
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: called the adversary. But the original name of Satan as
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: revealed in scripture says, is Lucifer. The word Lucifer from
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: the Hebrew tongue, when it is translated, it means the shining.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: One or the light bearer.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: Now I want to tell you a little story and
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: I pray that you will understand and be blessed by
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: it in the name of Jesus. There are three scriptures
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: classically that we use in scripture in discussing the origin
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: of Satan.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 3: The first of them, as we see, is.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: Revelations chapter 12 from verse 7 where we read, the
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: Bible lets us know that There was war in heaven
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: and Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. Another
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: name Satan is called.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: And that the dragon fought and his angels.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: So we see that Satan at that time already had
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: an organized system of angels too.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: Right, so verse 8. And prevailed not, neither was there
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 2: a place found for them anymore. That means before that time,
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: where were they living? They had access to heaven together
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: with the angels. Are we together now? Anymore means they
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 2: once had that access, right? So let's go to Isaiah 14.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 2: Isaiah 14. Now to understand, we're going to Isaiah 14
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: and then Ezekiel 28. You will have to understand something
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 2: in theology called prophetic parallels.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 3: Please look up.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 2: Prophetic parallels means that you can use a story You
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: can use a prophetic description to adumbrate something that has
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: happened in time past or something that will happen in
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: the future. For instance, if I look at you and
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: I say, let's say you have a son and his
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: father used to steal. And I say, young man, Keep
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: behaving foolishly. That is how that man stole and he
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: was thrown away. You understand what.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 3: I'm saying now?
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: I'm using the story connected to this man, but the
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: warning is to the young man. But that there is
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: a story that I'm drawing from. Are you getting the
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: point now? I need to give you this background so
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 2: that you will understand what we're about to read. Because
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: the story we're about to read was written to real kings, right?
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: But based on the law of prophetic parallels, it was
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: also the prophet was using an ancient story to relate
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: and bring a warning to the then kings.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: Are you clear on that now?
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: So let's go to Isaiah chapter 14 from verse 12.
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: Isaiah 14 from verse 12.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: This was a description of the fall of Lucifer. Are
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: you ready? Please look up. How art thou fallen from heaven,
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 3: O Lucifer, son of the morning? That's the meaning of
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 3: his name. The light bearer, son of the morning.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 2: How art thou caught down to the ground, which did
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: weaken the nations?
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: We're reading to verse 17. Very quickly, verse 2. Our
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: next verse.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: For thou hast said in your heart, Take note. I
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: will be like the most high.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: Fifteen.
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell and to
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: the sides of the pit.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: Two more verses, 16 now.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: consider thee saying, Is this the man that made the
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: earth to tremble that did shake kingdoms?
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 3: 17.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: That made the world as a wilderness and destroyed the
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: cities thereof, that opened not the house of his prisoners.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: Take note of this because I will be showing you
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 2: a name and a story that Jesus gave about Satan
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: that we do not find in scripture. The name is
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 2: a murderer. He says, you are of your father, the devil.
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 2: For from the beginning, he was a murderer. We never
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: see him killing Adam. At least the first contact. That
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 2: means there was an old story that even predates Adam.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 2: Because Jesus called Satan. He said, among the many accusations
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 2: against Satan is that he was a murderer.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 3: Ezekiel 28. Verse 11, second scripture.
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 2: This is another prophetic parallel. It was to the king
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 2: of Tyre, but then there is a parallel. You will
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 2: see some things there that could not have happened to
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 2: an earthly king.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 2: Me saying, verse 12, Son of man, take up a
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 2: lamentation upon the king of Tyre. So the lamentation was
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 2: a warning to the king, but he's about to draw
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 2: a prophetic reference to warn the king, saying, Thus saith
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: the Lord God, Thou sealest up the psalm, full of wisdom.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 2: This was the description of Lucifer before the fall. You
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 2: are full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. Verse 13.
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 2: Thou hast been in Eden. Are you seeing that earth
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 2: was created already before the fall of Lucifer?
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 3: You have to understand this. Very, very strange.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: When Lucifer was casted down, the Bible says he was
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 2: casted down to earth.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: Scientists carbon date rocks and they tell us that the
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 2: earth is millions and millions of years old. They are
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 2: not lying. The oldest man on earth from Adam, as
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 2: we know, is barely a little above 6,000 years old.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 2: But archaeologists and historians have discovered castles.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 3: They have discovered.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: Semblances of civilizations that are more than 6,000 years ago.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: That means that there is an old story. An old
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 2: story that predates Adam. Let's finish up. It says every
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: precious stone was the covering. Please, just be graphic about this.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: Use your mind and look at how Satan was. That
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 2: precious stones were his covering. The sardius, topaz, the diamond,
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 2: the beryl, the onyx, the jasper, sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle,
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 2: and gold. The workmanship of thy timbrets and of thy
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 2: pipes were prepared everywhere.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 3: In the day that thou was created, that means Satan
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 3: was created. Hello? Satan was?
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 2: You will be learning from this that the archenemy of
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 2: Satan is not God.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: The archenemy of Satan is man. Are we together? Satan
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: is a created being. Let me quickly give you.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: Two scriptures to support that so that there's no confusion.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: Satan is a created being. In fact, three scriptures. One
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: is John 1 verse 3. The Bible says, and for
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 2: without him all things.
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 3: Were made by him. How many things?
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: That if you ever see anything that appeared, it was
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: made by him.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 3: And without him was not anything made that was made.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 2: Scripture number two, Colossians chapter 1 and verse 16. Colossians
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: 1 and 16. It says, for by him were all
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: things created that are in heaven. Was Satan once in heaven?
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: And that are in the earth. Visible and invisible. Whether
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 2: they be thrones, dominions, principalities or powers. All things were
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: created by him and for him.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 3: Are we together? And then, of course, the last.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 2: Scripture, Ezekiel 28 and verse 15. Let's continue our reading now.
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 2: I just needed to put that in perspective. That was
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 2: perfect in thy ways in the day that thou was
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 2: created until iniquity.
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 3: Was found in thee. We're reading to 19.
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 2: By the multitudes of thy merchandise, they have filled the
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: midst of thee with violence and thou hast sinned. Therefore,
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 2: I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 2: of the Lord. Remember Psalm 24, who shall ascend to
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: the hill of the Lord. And I will destroy thee,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 2: O covering cherub. So we now see that Satan was
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 2: a cherub that covered.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 3: In the midst of the stones of fire.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: There's no mention of the king of Tyre being in
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 2: the midst of the stones of fire. He would not
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 2: even survive it.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 1: 17.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: He said, thy heart was lifted up because of your beauty.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh. The Bible is now putting perspective.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 2: We need to examine why Satan would rebel from a
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: place like heaven. Thine heart was lifted up because of
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 2: thy beauty. Thou has corrupted thy wisdom by reason of
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 2: thy brightness.
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 3: Take note of the things that can corrupt people. Beauty. Wisdom.
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: He said, I will cast thee to the ground. I
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: will lay thee before kings that they may behold thee. 18.
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 2: Thou hast defiled the sanctuaries by the multitude of thy iniquities.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: By the iniquity of thy traffic, therefore I will bring
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 2: forth a fire from the midst of thee.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 3: It shall devour thee.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 2: I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 2: the sight of all them that behold thee.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 3: Last verse.
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 2: All day that know thee among the people shall be
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: astonished at thee. Thou shall be a terror and never
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: shall thou be anymore.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 3: Prophetic parallels. Are you seeing now?
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 2: Because the king that this judgment was upon later died.
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: But Satan is still existing.
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 2: So that's why I told you, you see prophetic parallels.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 2: There are things that could not have been the king.
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 2: And there are things that could not have been Satan.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 5: Are you learning?
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 3: Are you learning?
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 2: So we know that Satan was a created being. According
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 2: to scripture, that he was Lucifer, one of the cherubs
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: in heaven that was made according to Colossians chapter 1
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: and verse 16 by God and for his glory. But
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: then the Bible tells us that something happened. Revelations 12
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: tells us there was war in heaven. Please look up.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 2: What did Satan really want? That is really what I
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: want to help us and then we'll pray. At least
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: it is enough for us to know that he was
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: created by God. No matter what he is and no
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 2: matter how long he existed, we know that he is
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: God's creation. But what made Satan, listen carefully, what made
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: Satan to rebel against God and what makes Satan to
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 2: still hate men today? We need to examine this. What
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 2: is he looking for? To answer this question in truth,
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 2: if I'm to do justice to this question, there are
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: two schools of thought and all of them are worth considering.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 3: I will give it to you and then we'll discuss.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 2: Number one, the first school of thought is believed in.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 2: that Satan from Ezekiel 28, that Satan wanted to run
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: a parallel government.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 3: He said, I will exalt myself above the stars of God.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 2: I will be like the most high. There was an
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 2: obsession by reason of his beauty. The Bible says his
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 2: beauty and his excellence and his wisdom flattered him. That
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: is also proven through his manipulation over earthly kings. We
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: see Nebuchadnezzar also, that these kings can be carried away
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 2: by their beauty and their splendor and they will want
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 2: to be God. And we see that the same kind
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: of judgment that was meted on Satan was meted on
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: Nebuchadnezzar from God. A cherub, he was thrown down to
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: become nothing. Nebuchadnezzar, from an exalted king, he was thrown
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 2: down to become an animal. Are we together now? You
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 2: can see those parallels. So the first school of thought
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 2: agrees that Satan fell because of... That desire, I don't
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: believe Satan wanted to overthrow God.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 3: It's clear that he can't do that.
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 2: But I know that Satan wanted to run a parallel
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 2: government so that you can choose the option of God
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 2: or him. It is still the character of Satan till today.
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 2: Every time Satan studies what God is doing, he tries
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 2: to create an alternative system to it.
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 3: Are we together now?
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 2: Now, the second school of thought, which is equally worth considering,
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 2: is the timing of Revelation chapter 12 and verse 7
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 2: gives us a very serious picture. It says that Satan
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 2: was cast to the earth. And that means, that means
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 2: that the earth was already there. And if the earth
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 2: is already there, then it also goes to tell us,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 2: now look up please. Where do you think Satan got
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 2: the idea that he can be like God? Because that
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 2: idea must have come from somewhere. All things consist in God.
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 2: That means you don't have any wisdom outsourced from outside
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: of God. So where do you think Satan would have
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: gotten the idea that it is possible for man.
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 3: To be like God.
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 2: Now, the second school of thought argue that Satan fell
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 2: after man was created. Personally, I don't agree with that,
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to teach you what I believe. Are
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 2: we together?
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 3: Just to honor those schools of thought.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 2: It is believed that when God made man and Satan
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 2: saw the potential, that man had now become in the
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 2: image of God. No creature was ever made in the
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 2: image of God. They were made in the.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 3: Likeness of God. That jealousy. Are you seeing that? That desire.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 3: to be jealous.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: And you see, you can see that character consistent with
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 2: the operation of Satan too. That every time something new
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 2: comes that surpasses.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 3: The old, the old fights it. You see Jacob and Esau.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 3: You see Ishmael. You see Abraham. Is that true?
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 2: You see all of these parallels that Satan saw that
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 2: man was created now in the image and the likeness
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 2: of God. Now, I do not believe that for many reasons.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 2: Number one, because according to Genesis chapter one and verse 31,
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 2: that is a scripture that I use for my basis
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 2: to argue away that. The Bible says, and God saw
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 2: that everything that he had made was good. So it
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 2: would not be possible for God to call everything good
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 2: when Satan, are you getting the idea now?
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 2: Yes. Everything he had made was good. And the evening
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 2: and the morning came. Look up, please. I hope you
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 2: realize that in the making of man, Genesis chapter 1
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: and Genesis chapter 2.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 3: Oh dear, I wish we had the time.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 2: They are two different contexts of discussions apart. Now, I
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: don't want to confuse you because many people just read
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 2: their Bible from 1 and 2. You will see that
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: in the making of man, it was creation. In Genesis
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: chapter 2, it is the formation of man.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 3: When God blessed man.
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 2: In Genesis chapter 2, it was Adam.
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 3: Man, like the spirit of man.
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: The woman was in the man when he gave the
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 2: dominion mandate. That is why today in manifesting dominion, there
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 2: is no gender. The moment you are in Christ, you
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 2: can manifest that dominion. Because the woman came out of
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 2: man in chapter 2 when that formation happened. It was
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: simply based on the structure of family and God's organogram
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: that the woman comes under the man. But as far
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 2: as dominion over systems from a spiritual angle, the woman
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 2: has the same ranking. There is neither male nor female.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 2: There is neither Jew nor Greek. There is one new
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 2: man in Christ. Jesus came to restore that.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 2: So, the school of thought that says that Satan.
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 2: Satan did not fall, he fell after man. If you
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: believe that, that Satan fell after man simply because he
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 2: peeped into the making of man in the image of
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 2: God and then jealousy came, there are many other scriptures
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 2: that don't agree with that.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 3: Are we together?
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 2: Number one, Genesis 1 verse 1 and Genesis 1 verse 2.
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 2: Theologically speaking, we call it the gap theory. And we
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: know that the judgment in Genesis 1 verse 2 came
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 2: as a result of the judgment of Lucifer. No other
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 2: being was judged to have produced that kind of chaos.
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 2: Every judgment that is recorded in Scripture as we see
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: had Lucifer behind it. From Genesis 1 verse 1, then Noah,
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 2: to every other judgment that has happened, to the final
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 2: judgment that will condemn all men who have refused Jesus Christ.
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 2: Satan has always been behind it. But this is what
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 2: I believe based on Scripture. Listen very carefully. Let me
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 2: establish my thought on this now. Romans chapter 8 from
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 2: verse 29.
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 3: What does Satan really want?
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 2: For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 2: be conformed to the image of his son, that he
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 2: might be the firstborn among many brethren.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 3: Verse 30. Verse 30.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 2: Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called. And
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 2: whom he called, he also justified. And whom he justified,
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 2: them he also glorified. Please look up. I believe, and
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 2: this is based on this scripture. The Bible tells us
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 2: the entire agenda of man was not one that was
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 2: being executed real time.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 3: It was predestined. Predestined.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 2: There was a foreknowledge. And do not forget the office
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: of Satan. Satan was the light bearer, the custodian of
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 2: the wisdom and the mysteries of God. To be predestined
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 2: and foreordained means there was a time that God designed that,
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 2: that he was going to create a being in his
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 2: image and in his likeness. And Satan must have had
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 2: access to that information based on his office. This is
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 2: what gave him an idea that so God can actually
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 2: create another species in his.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 3: Image and his likeness.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: And so that began to challenge him to want to
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 2: work with that reason. I will be like the Mosai
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 2: if that is the case.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 3: Are we together now?
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: Based on scripture, if it is true that man was predestined,
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 2: the whole agenda, it was never something that was just executed.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 2: God scratched his head. The Bible says this thing was organized.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 3: Watch this.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 2: We have a government structure in Nigeria and in many
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: parts of Africa. And there are times when the government
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 2: wants to do certain things. There is a group of Intel,
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: the DSS, and the intelligence unit.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 2: By reason of their office, no matter how private and
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 2: personal what it is the president wants to do or
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 2: what it is that the executive cabinet want to do,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 2: by the reason of their office, they have to be
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 2: initiated into this nitty-gritty.
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 3: Am I right on that? This is government.
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 2: Now, if there is a traitor among them, He can
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 2: take advantage of that access of his office. We have
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: seen it happen across governments. Is that true? This is
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 2: what I believe happened. That there has been a discussion.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: Let us make man. Listen carefully. I do not believe
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 2: let us make man was an idea that just came
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: after he made the trees and the rest.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 2: The Bible is just telling you that there was in
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 2: God's mind this idea. It's not just that it was
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 2: in verse 26 that.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 3: The idea just came. No. Let us make.
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 2: Man was the motivation behind the recreation of.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 3: The earth again.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 2: Because the earth was recreated for the sake of man.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 2: Are we learning now? So because of Satan's office as
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 2: the light bearer, the sheriff that covereth, he's had access
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 2: to some of these things. And the Bible says with that,
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 2: he began to nurse.
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 3: That idea in his heart. You see the same attitude.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 2: Scattered all through scripture that a man's enemies will have
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 2: to be members of his own household. The one that
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 2: was used to throw Jesus down. Because you see, you
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 2: can study Satan by the consistency of his patterns. It
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: was Judas that gave Jesus a way. Because of Jesus
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: had moments when he would talk with them and tell
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 2: them about establishing an earthly kingdom and about all of
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 2: these things. And it was on the strength of that information,
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 2: Judas could lie us with other people to say, you
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 2: know what, let's kill this man.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 3: He's going to overthrow you.
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 2: They believed he was talking about a physical government. So
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 2: when they finished their meeting, Judas was looking at a
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 2: way of making money from it. The same character of
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 2: the Antichrist. Don't forget the Bible says Satan entered Judas.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: If he entered Judas, Judas would be a continuation of
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 2: his original desire.
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 3: The light bearer.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 2: Having the idea that the plan of man, not necessarily redemption,
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 2: the plan of man, now to be created in the
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: image and the likeness of God. That gave him an
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 2: opportunity and that idea because of access. You see the
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: reason why God judged him? And you see the reason
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 2: why Satan cannot be forgiven? Because of the kind of
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: access that he had. His very name, Lucifer, meant the
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 2: light bearer. He was the custodian of the wisdom of God.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 3: Are we together? Watch this.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit can minister to me today by reason
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 2: of my oneness with the Holy Spirit.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 3: The Holy Spirit can speak to me. Look up, please.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 3: And he can tell me that this man is going
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 3: to be a billionaire next week.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 2: Now I have that information. What I do with that
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 2: information is now up to me. I can use that
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 2: information to manipulate this man now. Do we agree on that? Now,
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 2: my corruption, you see that, it will earn me a
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 2: punishment because I have now betrayed the trust that he
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 2: gave me. But I am now privy. Before it happens
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 2: to this man, I can announce it and tell him, sir.
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 2: In two weeks, you are going to be a billionaire.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 2: And truly it will happen like that because I have
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 2: been granted access. Are you getting what I'm telling you now?
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 2: Before it will happen in the earth, it happens in
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 2: the heavens.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 3: Is that true?
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 2: This is what convinces me that Lucifer had access to
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 2: parts of.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 3: The plan of God for man.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 2: And when he found out that the image of God
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 2: is going to be invested to another creature that is
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 2: not him, nor any being in heaven. Listen, you need
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 2: to know why Satan hates you. I'm tracing a story
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: for you. The greatest desire of Satan did not come
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 2: to him. Let me prove it to you again by
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 2: prophetic adumbration. Look at Haman and Mordecai. When the king said,
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 2: who shall we honor? You see the same manifestation of
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 2: the spirit of the Antichrist. Because Haman had access to
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 2: the king. He knew that the king wanted to lift
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: somebody and he said to himself, who else? You see
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 2: the parallel of this character across systems. Who else will
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: the king honor? And he gave a very elaborate strategy
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 2: for honor. And he said, sorry, you are not the one.
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 2: Go and do the rest. Do it for ordinary Mordecai
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 2: who is staying at the city gate. And you are
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 2: the one who will push the donkey and say, bow
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 2: the knee. That was an insult to Mordecai. And Mordecai
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 2: went and reported to his wife. And the wife said, sorry,
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 2: who is this man you are trying to fight?
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 3: He said, he's a Jew. He said, you are finished.
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: That means there is a covenant that has given this
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 2: man an advantage.
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 3: Are you learning scripture now?
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 2: Yes. Everywhere you see the spirit of the Antichrist, there,
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 2: you see that there is always betrayal and you see
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: that there is always treason. Satan being the light bearer
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 2: granted him access to certain secrets of the Lord. The
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: Bible is very clear as to the fact that God
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 2: can trust men with secrets.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 3: He can trust men Are you learning?
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 2: Satan's enemy, listen carefully, is not God. God is his creator.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 2: And even in his fallen state, he will acknowledge God.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 2: Satan's enemy is man. Now, let me wrap up as
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 2: we pray. What does Satan really want? What? What has
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 2: been his drive for all these probably millions of years
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 2: and he's not rested. Why does Satan want your family?
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 2: Listen carefully. Why does Satan want your health? Why is
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 2: he afflicting you with sickness? Why does Satan want to
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 2: destroy the ministry, the man of God? Why is he
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 2: destroying your business? It's an old story. And if you
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 2: do not know what is Satan's motivation, you will be
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 2: shadowboxing around issues, not knowing that the issues predate you.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 2: There are two things that Satan is looking for. And
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 2: this is the basis for the entire study of demonology
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: and deliverance.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 3: Two things.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 2: Number one, dominion. Number two, transgenerational allegiance. This is all
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 2: Satan is looking for. His obsession for dominion. And number two,
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 2: his obsession for transgenerational allegiance.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 3: This is what birthed the concept of witchcraft, altars, patterns.
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 2: Everything you see today that destroys people, destroys family, is
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 2: a structure driving that goal. Dominion and allegiance. Two scriptures
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 2: and we'll begin to pray. Matthew chapter 4. Satan's obsession
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 2: for dominion and Satan's obsession for allegiance was demonstrated in
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 2: the very temptation of Satan with Jesus.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 3: Please look up. Are we Bible students?
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 2: Then was Jesus led up out of the spirit into
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 2: the wilderness to be tempted of who?
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 3: The devil.
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 2: Now, let's go to verse 8. Verse 8, quickly please.
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 3: Verse 8. Verse 8. Again, this was a third temptation.
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 2: The devil taketh him into an exceeding high mountain. What
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 2: did the devil show him? All the kingdoms of this
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: world and the glory of them.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 3: Say dominion.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 2: Scripture is revealing to us now Satan's obsession. He said,
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 2: all these things I will give thee. Please go back
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 2: to verse, yes, and the glories of them. Now verse 9.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 2: All these things I will give you. If you will
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 2: do what? And dominion and allegiance.
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 2: Satan can suddenly become a giver if you satisfy that condition.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 3: That means I don't need this. Keep that scripture, please.
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 3: Verse 9. I don't need the money. Look up, please.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 2: Believers. I don't need your health. I don't need your
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 2: political position. I don't need your prosperity. I don't need
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 2: your ministry. I don't need longevity in your family. It's
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 2: none of my business. There is one thing I need.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 2: I need you to fall down and worship. Nebuchadnezzar, when
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 2: you hear the sound of the trumpet and everything fall
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 2: down and wash it. The image of the beast fall
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 2: down and wash it. How could a man be so
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 2: driven by this agenda? Can I tell you this? You
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 2: can easily know who is under the influence of Satan
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: by their obsession for these two things. Their obsession for control,
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 2: not just dominion, control, and their obsession for human worship
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 2: is a classic character of Satan.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 3: This is all that Satan looks for. Please listen to me.
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 3: And do you know what?
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 2: Satan hates you today because of one thing God gave you.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 3: That image.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: And he declared that dominion mandate and compelled creation to
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 2: answer you. Now you have become the enemy of Satan.
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 3: Look up, please. If Satan, if God suddenly.
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 2: Removes his image from man and give it to stones,
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 2: you will beg Satan, you will not get his attention.
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 3: He will not need you again.
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 2: Because it's not you he's looking for.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 3: What is man that thou art mindful of? Psalm 8.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 3: Let's wrap up.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 2: Psalm 8 verse 1. O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 2: is thy name in all the earth. Who has said
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 2: thy glory? Help those under the anointing who are about
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 2: to pray. I sense a very strong anointing here.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 3: Verse two it says out of the mouth of babes
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 3: and sucklings thou has ordained strength because of thy enemies
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 3: that thou mightest steal the enemy and the Avenger now
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 3: his contemplations verse three when I consider the heavens the
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 3: work of thy fingers the moon and the stars which
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 3: thou has ordained verse four what is man What is,
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 3: the Psalmist had to sit down and wonder, Lord, what
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 3: is man that you did not, couldn't you have just
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 3: used Satan? Couldn't you have just used the archangels?
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 2: You left all of them and you came to bring
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 2: another humanoid species. What is man that thou art mindful
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 2: of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him?
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 3: Verse 5.
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 2: For you have made him a little lower than angels.
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: The word there is Elohim, not Angelio.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 3: Elohim.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 2: You have made him a little lower than yourself in ranking.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 2: You have crowned him with glory and honor. Verse 6.
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: Thou hast made him to have glory.
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 3: Over what? The works of thy hands. And you have
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 3: put all things. All things. Hold on. He didn't say
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 3: all things on earth.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 3: All things.
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 2: All things aside from yourself, it was adumbrated in the
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 2: honor of Joseph. He said, Joseph, I now promote you.
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 2: Everything will be under you. It is only on the
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 2: throne you will be above me. This is what was
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 2: given to him. That was what the devil was fighting.
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 2: So that journey from his brothers to Potiphar's wife to
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 2: everything was fighting that position. It's the same thing that
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 2: happened to Esther. The same thing that happened to Mordecai.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 2: These are all adumbrations of what God did to man.
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 2: Thou has made him to have dominion over all the
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 2: works of your hands. You have put all things under
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 2: his feet. Verse 7. Okay, so let's just leave verse 6.
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 2: When you go back and see what Paul speaks to
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 2: the Hebrew churches, he says, in doing so, you did
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 2: not leave anything.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 3: That was under his feet.
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: You find that in Hebrews chapter 2. That you did
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: not leave anything out that was not under his feet.
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you this? Please look up. Man, not God,
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 3: is Satan's enemy.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 2: Believing that God is Satan's enemy is an insult.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 6: No.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 2: Because even when they were fighting for the body of Moses.
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 3: You see that now.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 2: You see how powerful this ranking is. Because as at
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: the time... Satan was fighting with Michael over the body
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 2: of Moses.
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 3: Satan was fighting as the prince of this world.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 2: He had collected that authority and Michael had to respect him.
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 2: So he could not say, I rebuke you. He said,
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 2: the Lord, the authority that is higher than man, the
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 2: only authority higher than man, I use that authority to
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 2: rebuke you. Because if Satan had told... If Michael had
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 2: told Satan, I rebuke you, it would be a compromise
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 2: of the order. When God exalted man, he was exalted
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 2: even above the cherubs, above every other thing. The Lord
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 2: said to my Lord, sit down at my right hand.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 3: Where are you seated?
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 2: Far above. Thrones, dominions, every name that is named.
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 3: Please hear me.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 2: You have to understand and believe what I'm teaching you.
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 2: It's not about the altar in your village. Your grandfather
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 2: was an innocent man.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 3: Who did he? He just entered the middle of an
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 3: old story.
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 2: So Satan created systems to make sure there is transgenerational allegiance.
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 2: They will stop rain and punish men who do not know.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 2: Neither will they understand. So they will go to Satan
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 2: and say, let rain come and let our children eat. Say,
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 2: here is the agreement. I will send the rain. Remember,
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 2: he's a giver. Suddenly, if he will get dominion and allegiance.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 2: So the fathers on behalf of the land will say, Satan,
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 2: hunger is killing us.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 3: Through those mediums, we will serve you.
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 2: They call him different names, but he's the same person.
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, we will give you a deity. Worship this deity.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 2: And the fathers came, grandfathers will worship the deity. And
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 2: for as long as they worship the deity, he will
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 2: use the authority of man to bring rain. The authority
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 2: of man is what Satan uses to bring rain.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 3: Listen carefully.
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 2: When people are sick, when he finds out that people
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 2: are not, that allegiance is compromising, there will be a
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 2: widespread problem within the land and the elders will run back.
• 2:13:10
  Speaker 2: And the priest or whatever medium can say, I'm hungry.
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 2: You people are eating, I'm not eating. What do you want, sir?
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 2: Make sure your children come and worship me. And you innocently,
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 2: they give birth to you. You are shouting before you
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 2: even know left and right. They've made incisions on your
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: body and made covenants.
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 3: And Satan says, that's right.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 2: And then now you just stand before Jesus and say,
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 2: I receive you as my Lord. And Satan says, what
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 2: did you say? Do you know what that means? That
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 2: means you are saying from me, everything that comes from
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 2: me will no longer serve you.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 3: And Satan says, you have drawn the line.
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 2: Everything that is a threat to his allegiance, he will
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 2: fight it through men. He will fight it through systems.
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you this? Every, please look up. Do
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 2: you believe what I've taught you so far? Whether you
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 2: are Yoruba, whether you are Igbo, whether you are South-South,
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 2: whether you are the Caribbeans, you are Northern, you are Spanish,
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 2: I don't care what region, this story has brought all
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 2: of us into one singular basket. This is what Satan wants.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 2: He showed us what he wants. And dead Jesus, don't
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 2: think he'll be afraid of you. He said, Jesus, there
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 2: is no need to go through all this rigor.
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 3: Just bow.
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, something happens to Satan when you worship.
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 2: Are you seeing what happens when you worship? Are you
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 2: seeing why worship is powerful? So he looks at you
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 2: going down to your knees and says, for who now?
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 2: And you begin to call his name, Jesus.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 3: And he will say, you know what?
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 2: Afflict this man in a way that will make Jesus
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 2: not look like savior. And when the affliction gets too much,
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 2: somebody will tell you there's somebody in the village and
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 2: you will go and sit down and say, I knew
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 2: he was going to come.
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 3: Hear me?
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 4: Hear me?
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 2: I'm teaching you what I'm teaching you because truly your
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 2: freedom has come.
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you this?
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 2: This is why songs that talk about surrender are so powerful.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 3: Because in doing that, it's.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 2: Like it's an insult. Satan says for millions of years,
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you this? Do you know Satan actually
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 2: believes that the day is going to come when he
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 2: will compel the entire creation to come under his lordship?
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 1: He really does.
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 3: It is only you who does not believe it. Satan
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 3: is firing on all four cylinders. He still believes.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 2: He believes that all your family will serve him. Forget
• 2:16:18
  Speaker 2: that you are.
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 3: So when he sees you, listen, every battle that you
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 3: read in this Bible came as a result of Satan's
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 3: perceiving it as a threat to his agenda.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 2: When he killed children, It was not about children. He
• 2:16:34
  Speaker 2: perceived they were saviors in the children. When Satan causes
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 2: barrenness today, Satan does not need children. Satan, he can
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 2: peep through the window of prophecy and hear when the
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit is speaking to you and say, Madam, a
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 2: prophet is going to come through your womb. And he
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 2: knows that that prophet will break a 150-year-old idol practice.
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 2: He will bring the barrenness of Zechariah. And Elizabeth was
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 2: not about barrenness. It was about John who will ordain
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 2: Jesus who will save the world. Please look at me.
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 2: God is giving us intelligence. Apostle, I am a sincere person.
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 2: I don't steal, I don't kill. Yet there is an
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 2: attack on my business. Let me tell you, interpret it
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 2: now from the lens of who Satan is. Interpret everything
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 2: that happens in your life from the lens of who
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 2: Satan is. Not the lens of the village you are
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 2: coming from. That's too small. Not the lens of the...
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 2: It's not about you and your boss. From a bigger picture...
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 2: your boss has no business with that. He's only an
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 2: available vessel. Everything Satan will use to frustrate you until
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 2: he brings you to a point of dominion and transgenerational allegiance.
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 3: I know this. What shall it profit a man if
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 3: he gains the whole world? Satan can give you the
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 3: whole world, but he needs something. Your soul. I'm not
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 3: wasting your time. I apologize.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 2: I know our time is gone. We're going to pray.
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 2: But please hear me. Now you can go back home.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 2: And know that it's not about the problem that happened
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 2: in your family. It's not about what happened with your
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 2: grandfather at all. It's not even about what is happening
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 2: between your father and your mother. It's not about what
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 2: is happening with your education. Satan does not need visas.
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 6: No.
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 3: No. It's not about your finances.
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 2: He has seen that your finances will do something that
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 2: will threaten that agenda.
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 3: He will attack it with everything he has. Please look up.
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 2: My dear one, it is not about marriage and children.
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 2: It is because he has seen that in it. Satan
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 2: does not attack anything for itself.
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 3: He verifies. Is there a component in your lifting?
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you now become governor or you become head
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 2: of parliament. And in it, many people will receive scholarships
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 2: to go to good schools. And there is a chapel there.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 2: They will hear a man of God. They will be
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 2: filled with the Holy Spirit. You will not win that election.
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 3: He will fight you. What does Satan want? I will
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 3: be like the most high. I desire it.
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 2: Everywhere you see Satan, he's obsessed with his image being
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 2: erected and men bowing to the image.
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 3: He does not want animals.
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 2: When he came upon Nebuchadnezzar, he said, let a 90
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 2: feet stature be built.
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 3: But only Yeshua will reign forever.
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 6: To his kingdom there'll be no.
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 3: End There are thrones.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 6: There are kingdoms There are mountains and there are thrones
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 6: But only Yeshua will reign forever to his kingdom there'll
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 6: be no end.
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 3: There are thrones there are.
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 6: Thrones there are kingdoms there are mountains and there are
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 6: thrones but only Yeshua will reign forever to his kingdom.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 2: Be sober, be vigilant for your adversary the devil like
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 2: a roaring lion seeking for whom he may devour. He said,
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 2: do not let Satan take an advantage of you for
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 2: we are not ignorant that there is an agenda. When
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 2: that agenda was in place, your village was not even
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 2: your village.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 3: Your nation was not even your nation.
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 2: There is an old story about an old serpent, an
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 2: old agenda.
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 9: But only Yeshua will reign forever.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 6: To your kingdom there'll be no end.
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 3: Only Yeshua reigns.
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 2: Please don't miss any of this series. This is just
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 2: an introduction. I will be sharing with you in the
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 2: course of this series some of my encounters with the
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 2: dark world. And you will marvel and wonder where genuine
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 2: spiritual authority comes from.
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you?
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 2: This teaching you see and this series is one of
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 2: the greatest dread of Satan. Because the power of darkness
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 2: is the absence of light. When light comes, now you
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 2: are gaining perspective. You can go back and say, Mama,
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 2: this our fight is not about two of us.
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 3: Now I know.
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 2: This fight is not about you at all. This 10
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 2: year old fight is not about you. I have found
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 2: out in the volume of the books that there is
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 2: something about my destiny. Man of God, hear me. Find comfort.
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 2: Why is Satan attacking my ministry? I will tell you why.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 2: It is not because of where you come from. Where
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 2: you come from is just the obvious answer, not the
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 2: right one.
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 3: I can tell you.
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 2: Some of you now begin to look at your life
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 2: and see all the happenings and see that that roaring
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 2: lion has been tracing you and saying, till now you have.
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 3: Not gone down.
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you this? Do not cry about all
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 2: the stories of pain in your life. Now God is
• 2:23:55
  Speaker 2: interpreting the writings on the wall. The disappointment, the shame.
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 2: He fought your marriage. He fought your children. You lost
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 2: your child. You lost everything. And you are wondering to
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 2: what end is this? Now I bring you the word
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 2: of the Lord. He wants dominion and he wants transgenerational allegiance.
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 2: If you will fall down and worship me, that business
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 2: I will give it to you.
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you this? Look up please. Look up please. Unfortunately,
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 3: painfully unfortunately, there are people today who could not stand
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 3: because they do not know these truths and they do
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 3: not have the weapons of victory.
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 2: They said, Satan, I can't go through this. I will
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 2: go back to you. And they had that agreement. They
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 2: are some of the celebrities we celebrate around the world today.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 2: They know what they did. You don't know it, but
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 2: they know. That is why in spite of their fame,
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 2: there is no joy. They already know their doom is defined.
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 2: That's why the money does not prosper them. That's why
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 2: you see how miserable, respectfully speaking, some of their lives
• 2:25:10
  Speaker 2: become in the midst of all the glamour because they know.
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 3: That there is a covenant. Please hear me.
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 2: Some of you right now, Satan is about to tempt
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 2: you and he's using financial issues He's using marital issues.
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 3: He's using health issues. And they have called you from
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 3: the village. Come back. Remember what we said. We will
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 3: bath you near the river. And that's it. Just bathing. No.
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 3: It's not about the water. A river does not hurt people.
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 3: There is an allegiance. Please hear me. Let me encourage
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 3: someone as we pray. For the sake of those depending
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 3: on you, don't give up. Don't give up. Some of
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 3: you are crying. Listen to me. I'm very serious.
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 2: For the sake of your family members, if you give up,
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 2: who else will help them? Are you not seeing their state?
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 2: That's why God sent you to Koinonia here. For those
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 2: of you following. That's why he said, A reed out
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 2: of fire.
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 3: Only Yeshua will reign forever.
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 6: To your kingdom there'll be no end.
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 9: Only Yeshua will reign forever.
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 6: To his kingdom there'll be no end.
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 2: Please look at me. What if Reinhard Bonnke gave up?
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 2: What if T.L. Osborne gave up? What if Billy Graham
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 2: gave up? Seeing then that we are surrounded by so
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 2: great a cloud of witnesses. Can I tell you this?
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 2: Please look at me brothers and sisters. This is a
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 2: word from the Lord. This is not just a deliverance series.
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 2: You need to go back home and listen to this
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 2: thing again. Especially this part. What is Satan really looking for?
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 2: You are wrong if you think it's your marriage. You
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 2: are wrong if you think it's your health. What is
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 2: it about the cancer and the fibroid and whatever the
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 2: genotype issue? No.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 3: None of those things there is something he's looking for
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 3: please look up we're wrapping up please look up.
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 2: In our nation here and many parts of africa When
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 2: kidnappers or some of these evil people are looking for people,
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 2: what they do is they try to look for somebody
• 2:28:02
  Speaker 2: or something dear to you.
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 3: Is that true? They catch your child or they catch whoever.
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 2: And then sometimes they will now make you to hear
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 2: the voice of your child. And when your child that
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 2: you gave birth to says, Daddy, please don't.
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 3: Leave me like this.
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 2: You can give up that business and say, what is
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 2: business if my child is in the hand of someone?
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 2: And all of a sudden you bring your everything. So
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 2: what Satan did was he studied everything dear to you.
• 2:28:34
  Speaker 2: He found out your assignment is dear to you. Your
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 2: family is dear to you. Your business is dear to you.
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 2: And he fashioned an attack.
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 3: Hear me.
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 2: Now that it seems like he's collected the business, he's
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 2: strangling the business like the voice of that child and
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 2: making you hear it. Daddy, will you live this vision
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 2: like this?
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 3: Daddy.
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 6: Daddy.
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 2: Is this how this family will be without a child?
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 2: And before you know it, they say there is somebody.
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 2: It's not exactly evil, but we'll go to the village.
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 2: He said we should bring a chicken. We should bring
• 2:29:09
  Speaker 2: one granite oil. We should bring palm oil. We should
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 2: bring a knife and bring some kinds of things. Some
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 2: of you, God brought this message to help you because
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 2: you're on your way going there now.
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 3: Be careful. Can I tell you this?
• 2:29:24
  Speaker 2: Desperation is Satan's moment. The moment Satan finds a desperate individual,
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 2: here he comes.
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 3: I spoke to you 10 years ago. You didn't listen.
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 3: 10 years later, are you willing? Two prayer points. Prayer
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 3: point number one. Please pray it from the depth of
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 3: your heart. Shout this loud after me everybody. Say Father.
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 2: One more time. Say Father. In the name of Jesus.
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 2: I come by the blood of the Lamb. And I
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 2: decree and declare. That no weapon. Fashioned against me. Fashioned
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 2: against my destiny. shall prosper. Lift your voice and begin
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 2: to pray. No weapon. No weapon against my health.
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 3: No weapon against the work of the Lord committed to me.
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 3: No weapon.
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 2: Someone pray. No weapon against my children. No weapon.
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 3: Are you praying? Against my job, my career, my spiritual life.
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 4: Pray.
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 3: Pray.
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 2: Every spirit around your life.
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 3: Is on assignment. The spirit of death is on assignment.
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 3: The spirit of infirmity is on assignment.
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 2: The spirit of failure is on assignment.
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 3: They don't come on their own. They are sent by
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 3: an adversary. Hallelujah. Please look up.
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 2: I know we've not begun to discuss deliverance proper, but
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 2: let me use one scripture and we pray. Now, thanks
• 2:32:05
  Speaker 2: be to God, which always causes us to triumph.
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 3: Thanks be to God. Can I tell you this?
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 2: Believe me when I tell you that he who the
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 2: Son sets.
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 3: Free is free indeed.
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 2: Amplified says he's really and unquestionably free. free from curses,
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 2: free from yokes, bondages of darkness. Are you ready to pray? Say, Father,
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 2: by the blood of Jesus, the blood of the eternal
• 2:32:41
  Speaker 2: covenant that speaks better things than the blood of Abel,
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 2: I dissociate myself. from ancestry i dissociate myself from covenants
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 2: i dissociate myself from activities of bloodline and inheritance i
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 2: declare that i have been called out of every tribe
• 2:33:09

• 2:33:19
  Speaker 2: resist the devil and he will flee resist him and
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 2: they overcame them by the blood of the lamb and
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 2: the words of your testimony.

  Speaker 10: Pray Oh hallelujah. Worthy is the lamb. To receive honor.

  Speaker 6: Worthy, worthy is the Lamb that was made.
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 3: In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus.
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 3: I wept for no man was worthy. To open the book.
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 3: And unlock the scroll. And the elder tapped me and said.
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 3: Weep not. The lion of the tribe of Judah. Even
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 3: the root of Jesse. Is worthy.
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 2: And I looked upon the throne. And I saw as
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 2: it were a lamb. That had been slain. Having seven horns.
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 2: And seven eyes. Which were the seven spirits of God.
• 2:35:47
  Speaker 2: My background does not have to be a disadvantage over me.
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 2: Because my grandfather was a Habbalist. My grandmother was a Habbalist.
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 2: I don't have to suffer the consequences of yesterday. There
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 2: is a bailout system for me. Because upon Mount Zion,
• 2:36:03
  Speaker 2: there shall be deliverance and holiness. And the sons of
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 2: Jacob shall possess their possession.
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 3: Give Jesus a big hand clap. Give Him a big
• 2:36:21
  Speaker 3: hand clap of victory. The Lamb that was slain to
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 3: receive glory and honor and power and riches forever and ever.
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 3: His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. In the name of
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. Hear me.
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 2: Now please listen very carefully. Please listen very carefully. This
• 2:36:49
  Speaker 2: is a deliverance series and I'll be giving us a
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 2: lot of assignments. Please trust God for grace and discipline
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 2: yourself to do it.
• 2:36:57
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 2: I may not compel us and give us a lot
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 2: of things, but let me just choose a day of
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 2: the week.
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 3: Let's say Thursday.
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 2: Discipline yourself to fast at least. Even if it's just
• 2:37:09
  Speaker 2: once a week, the weakest person here can fast at
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 2: least one day. Thursday, you are praying. Let me encourage you.
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 2: This is something you should do, please. Beginning from now
• 2:37:20
  Speaker 2: till all through, from your 11 o'clock till 6 o'clock,
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 2: choose any one hour and blast in tongues, pray in
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 2: the night. Please discipline yourself.
• 2:37:32
  Speaker 3: You will not die. Mean business with your destiny once
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 3: and for all for God's sake. Are we together? If
• 2:37:37
  Speaker 3: by now you.
• 2:37:38
  Speaker 2: Don't see the importance of this spiritual exercise, then I
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 2: take it that you are not really. Some of you
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 2: in this moment of prayer, you will be surprised the
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 2: things God.
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 3: Will open your eyes to see.
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 2: You can play any koinonia message you want. Some of
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 2: you can choose 12 to 1, 11 to 12.
• 2:37:54
  Speaker 3: Pending on your schedule. Maybe even earlier.
• 2:37:56
  Speaker 2: Just discipline yourself to take any one hour, rakatos katabata,
• 2:38:03
  Speaker 2: flog it out with destiny. You can add your worship.
• 2:38:07
  Speaker 2: You can dance like our dear sister did. Please just
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 2: obey instructions and see what.
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 3: Will happen to you. I assure you, you will.
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 2: See a testimony here that you will marvel and wonder.
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 2: And let me encourage you, don't keep quiet. There will
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 2: be enough time for testimonies as God is helping. Don't
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 2: be silent. Whenever you come for Koinonia, don't wait until
• 2:38:29
  Speaker 2: it is announced. Right at the, you can go to
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 2: the media stand or the PR desk and tell them,
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 2: I have a testimony. It's burning within my spirit. I'm
• 2:38:39
  Speaker 2: not teaching you things that are lectures. This man standing
• 2:38:43
  Speaker 2: before you was a victim of attacks. You've heard my stories.
• 2:38:47
  Speaker 2: As a preacher of the gospel, spirits were oppressing me.
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 2: Not many people will be honest to tell you this.
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 2: I know what it means to be free indeed.
• 2:39:08
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah. Hear me. All these.
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 2: Spirit husband, spirit wife, wicked demonic spirit, seeing yourself in
• 2:39:19
  Speaker 2: secondary school, writing exams that never finish, in an old house,
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 2: dead bodies that have gone calling you back.
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 3: Don't worry. This is the series that will bring this
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 3: thing to end once and for all in your life.
• 2:39:35
  Speaker 3: Before I make the altar call, let me challenge you, please.
• 2:39:39
  Speaker 2: Please do well to invite your family members to be
• 2:39:43
  Speaker 2: here or to at least connect. This is not just
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 2: some church thing. God is in the business of bringing liberty.
• 2:39:50
  Speaker 2: There are pastors who are watching and following. There are
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 2: people who are following from across the globe. This is
• 2:39:56
  Speaker 2: not something to be silent about. You can sow the
• 2:39:59
  Speaker 2: seed of even giving someone the teaching and say, please
• 2:40:02
  Speaker 2: listen to this. All these myriads of problems you are saying,
• 2:40:06
  Speaker 2: God is giving you perspective. Tonight, God simply started with
• 2:40:10
  Speaker 2: us by.
• 2:40:10
  Speaker 3: Answering the question, why?
• 2:40:12
  Speaker 2: Why the assaults of Satan? It is comforting to know
• 2:40:16
  Speaker 2: he was created. It is comforting to know that whoever
• 2:40:21
  Speaker 2: created him can destroy him. It is only what does
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 2: not have a beginning that does not end. If Satan
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 2: had a day of creation, it is comforting to know
• 2:40:31
  Speaker 2: a day will come when his end will come.
• 2:40:34
  Speaker 3: And prophecy has gone ahead of him.
• 2:40:36
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah.
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 2: The greatest deliverance is the translation from the kingdom of darkness.
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 3: into the kingdom of God's dear son. Many times believers
• 2:40:50
  Speaker 3: do not take altar calls serious. Please listen to me.
• 2:40:53
  Speaker 2: Rejecting Jesus and rejecting an altar call is still part
• 2:40:57
  Speaker 2: of the strategy of Satan to keep you bound. There
• 2:41:01
  Speaker 2: is every legitimate ground he has over your life if
• 2:41:05
  Speaker 2: the blood has not opened you up to that new
• 2:41:08
  Speaker 2: and living way. There are Hundreds of people, thousands and
• 2:41:13
  Speaker 2: potentially millions across the globe listening to me.
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 3: You know that you need Jesus.
• 2:41:19
  Speaker 2: Some of you are here right now in this auditorium.
• 2:41:22
  Speaker 2: All the overflows to the basement, outside, our Zaria family,
• 2:41:26
  Speaker 2: our global family. You are here and you know that
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 2: Jesus is speaking to you. You are saying, Apostle, I
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 2: am tired.
• 2:41:33
  Speaker 3: I need to hand everything over to Jesus.
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 2: Some of you, the devil has destroyed your family members,
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 2: killed everybody.
• 2:41:41
  Speaker 3: Caused sicknesses. Don't just go back and.
• 2:41:43
  Speaker 2: Think this is some church thing. He wants to give
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 2: you a new beginning. There are others who are saying, Apostle,
• 2:41:49
  Speaker 2: I remember giving my heart to Jesus, but as it
• 2:41:51
  Speaker 2: is right now, I need restoration and I need rededication.
• 2:41:57
  Speaker 2: I'm only going to count one to five. Those who
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 2: are in here and around the vicinity, you can come outside.
• 2:42:03
  Speaker 2: You can move to your LED screen. Zaria family, our
• 2:42:07
  Speaker 2: global family, you are in your house right there. You
• 2:42:10
  Speaker 2: can make this decision. I'm going to count one to five.
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 2: Please win that war. I want you to come and
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 2: join this gentleman who is already standing.
• 2:42:17
  Speaker 3: Are you ready? Celebrate them as they come.
• 2:42:19
  Speaker 9: One.
• 2:42:21
  Speaker 3: Don't be afraid. Come to Jesus. He can give you
• 2:42:29
  Speaker 3: a new beginning. Koinonia, is this the best you can do?
• 2:42:33
  Speaker 3: Jesus is calling them. Come unto me, all ye. Please
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 3: stand for space.
• 2:42:40
  Speaker 2: All ye that are weary and heavy laden and I
• 2:42:43
  Speaker 2: will give you rest.
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 3: Apostle, I'm not sure if I'm saved. Can I still come? Absolutely.
• 2:42:53
  Speaker 3: Come and join them.
• 2:42:55
  Speaker 2: Young and old, male and female, come to Jesus.
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 3: It's time to end this for the sake of your life.
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 2: Some of you by coming here, your children will thank
• 2:43:04
  Speaker 2: you when you are telling them the stories of the
• 2:43:07
  Speaker 2: background you came from. If you came from a family
• 2:43:11
  Speaker 2: of witchcraft, let a godly family come out of you.
• 2:43:15
  Speaker 2: If you came from a family of idol worship, let
• 2:43:18
  Speaker 2: a family of righteousness come out of you.
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 3: Hallelujah.
• 2:43:30
  Speaker 2: Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord, the same
• 2:43:33
  Speaker 2: shall be saved. God is no respecter of persons. Thank
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 2: you for this bold decision. For all of you who
• 2:43:42
  Speaker 2: are out, those of you who are following from your homes,
• 2:43:46
  Speaker 2: your churches, following by way of television, Jesus is giving
• 2:43:50
  Speaker 2: you an opportunity right now.
• 2:43:52
  Speaker 3: Don't reject him. It is costly to reject Jesus.
• 2:43:55
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, when he, the spirit of truth, is come,
• 2:43:58
  Speaker 2: he will convict the world of three things, of sin,
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 2: of righteousness, and of judgment. Let me encourage those of
• 2:44:04
  Speaker 2: you who are in front here, please, if you are
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 2: joining them.
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 3: Quickly come, quickly come.
• 2:44:07
  Speaker 2: Lift your right hand and say this after me as
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 2: loud and clear as you can.
• 2:44:12
  Speaker 3: Say, Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word.
• 2:44:18
  Speaker 2: I need your deliverance from the kingdom of darkness to
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 2: the kingdom of his dear son right now, I believe
• 2:44:30
  Speaker 2: that you died for me. I believe that you rose
• 2:44:35
  Speaker 2: again for my justification. I believe that you defeated sin, Satan, hell,
• 2:44:47
  Speaker 2: and the grave, and you gave me the victory. I
• 2:44:51
  Speaker 2: receive eternal life into my spirit, and I declare that
• 2:44:57
  Speaker 2: from tonight and forever I am a child of God
• 2:45:03
  Speaker 2: washed by the blood of the lamb.
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 3: I go forward ever and backward never.
• 2:45:12
