- 0:03Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning family, God, welcome back to the
- 0:05Speaker 1: morning Devo's your bro Sam Lopez aka DJ Sam Rock.
- 0:09Speaker 1: So one is with a Z that RG celebrated on network.
- 0:12Speaker 1: So win is ink and we're back one another morning Devo.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Oh Glory to God. Good morning, sister Joanne. I see you,
- 0:18Speaker 1: good morning, rising shine as we get together early this
- 0:21Speaker 1: morning on his weekdays. Man. And for me, it's a struggle.
- 0:26Speaker 1: It's a struggle still because you know, if I stay
- 0:30Speaker 1: up too late, it'll be a struggle to wake up
- 0:32Speaker 1: in the morning. Amen. So the battle for me to
- 0:36Speaker 1: rest and go to sleep is real, right, It's real.
- 0:39Speaker 1: But God is faithful to his word. He wakes me up.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus for waking me up. Holy Spirit, thank
- 0:44Speaker 1: you for waking me up and giving me another chance
- 0:47Speaker 1: to get into the studio, to get together with you
- 0:49Speaker 1: and to get in the Word. Most importantly, together today
- 0:53Speaker 1: we're talking protected by the power. Protected by the power.
- 0:58Speaker 1: I heard a reference to the Holy Spirit the other
- 1:02Speaker 1: day and reminded me that the power of God right
- 1:07Speaker 1: is Holy Spirit in us working through us. Amen. How
- 1:12Speaker 1: will we know the power of God if we haven't
- 1:15Speaker 1: experienced a challenge in our lives. How will we know
- 1:18Speaker 1: the word of God if we haven't recognized His power
- 1:22Speaker 1: in the word in our lives. Amen, protected by the power.
- 1:28Speaker 1: And this is the thing I wrote down. The devil
- 1:31Speaker 1: cannot overpower a Christian. Why because the power and presence
- 1:37Speaker 1: of God protects believers, protect believers. God's power and presence
- 1:45Speaker 1: protect me and protect you. Right, And that's powerful. We
- 1:51Speaker 1: know a scripture that we quote often, but maybe we
- 1:54Speaker 1: need to quote it and understand it, apply it, believe it,
- 1:59Speaker 1: and memorize, speak it out of our own mouths so
- 2:02Speaker 1: that way we would know that the power of the
- 2:04Speaker 1: devil has no power, cannot overcome or overpower a child
- 2:09Speaker 1: of God. We're gonna be in First John, chapter number four,
- 2:12Speaker 1: verse number four, First John, chapter four, verse four, Today
- 2:17Speaker 1: in the morning, Devo, protected by the power. If you
- 2:19Speaker 1: have any questions, comments, concerns, pray requests, please don't hesitate
- 2:24Speaker 1: to leave it on a live chat. That's what we're
- 2:25Speaker 1: here for. That's what we get together for. Amen to
- 2:29Speaker 1: just us let each other know that we got each
- 2:31Speaker 1: other's back and we're praying for one another. And we're
- 2:34Speaker 1: live right now with one another. Good morning, sister, nil
- 2:36Speaker 1: So I see you. Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome
- 2:39Speaker 1: to the morning. Divo, my sister, my friend, So listen,
- 2:42Speaker 1: protected by the power. Yes, we are protected God, that
- 2:44Speaker 1: guarded protected all of it. A man will pray first.
- 2:48Speaker 1: After we pray, we'll shared this out for like sixty seconds,
- 2:51Speaker 1: and then when we come back on the other side
- 2:53Speaker 1: of those sixty seconds, we'll get right into first John
- 2:57Speaker 1: chapter four, verse number four. A man, you ready, Let's go. Father.
- 3:01Speaker 1: I thank you for your power, your presence, your love,
- 3:04Speaker 1: your mercy, your grace, everything that you give us on

- 3:10Speaker 1: of our needs and riches in glory because of who
- 3:14Speaker 1: you are and what you have done. Thank you, Lord God,
- 3:17Speaker 1: that we are in the finished work that you're doing
- 3:21Speaker 1: right now, that you have already done, and that you
- 3:24Speaker 1: will be doing when you come back for us. Thank you,
- 3:27Speaker 1: Lord God, that it's a finished work, that you completed
- 3:30Speaker 1: your mission here on earth, and now we are waiting
- 3:33Speaker 1: for your return, for the promised return of the King
- 3:37Speaker 1: of kings and the Lord of lords, which is you,
- 3:38Speaker 1: Lord Jesus. Our pray, Lord God, that the favor of
- 3:41Speaker 1: God or the power of God Holy Spirit, God will
- 3:45Speaker 1: be so evident in our lives that people will just
- 3:48Speaker 1: want to know our God because of our actions, because
- 3:51Speaker 1: of our speech, because our favor that you have given us,
- 3:55Speaker 1: and that they will want to know not because of
- 3:58Speaker 1: anything that we're doing, but what You're doing through us.
- 4:02Speaker 1: They will want to know who you are in a
- 4:04Speaker 1: deeper level, in a personal way. I pray, Lord God,
- 4:07Speaker 1: I had your protection over my home, my family, my marriage,
- 4:11Speaker 1: our children, our bloodlines, our whole family, all the family
- 4:15Speaker 1: members from the very youngest to the very oldest, and
- 4:17Speaker 1: everyone in between. And I pray the same over every
- 4:20Speaker 1: single person that's watching or listening right now. In Jesus' name,
- 4:24Speaker 1: I thank you, Lord God for another day. I thank you,
- 4:26Speaker 1: Lord God for another morning devotion. I thank you, Lord
- 4:29Speaker 1: God for every single person that connects now or who
- 4:32Speaker 1: will connect later, who listens now or who will listen later.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I pray, Lord God, I had your protection over them
- 4:37Speaker 1: as well. As we go into your word today, I
- 4:40Speaker 1: give you glory, honor, worship, and praise. All of it
- 4:43Speaker 1: belongs to you. In Jesus's name. We pray it's by faith,
- 4:46Speaker 1: and everyone who believes we say amen to the Amen.
- 4:49Speaker 1: So let's go forward. Family, let's take sixty seconds to
- 4:52Speaker 1: share this side. When we come back, we'll get right
- 4:54Speaker 1: into protected by the power.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Amen, I'll be right back st Amen. Amen, we're back.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Let's see what the word of God has for you
- 6:17Speaker 1: today specifically, Amen, And we're gonna grab this word and
- 6:21Speaker 1: we're gonna read the word. We're gonna apply this word
- 6:23Speaker 1: after we know the word, and we're gonna believe that
- 6:26Speaker 1: God's word would never return back to God's void like
- 6:29Speaker 1: without power, because God is all powerful, almighty, yet he
- 6:33Speaker 1: has a gentle spirit concerning his children. Amen. It's an
- 6:36Speaker 1: amazing relationship that we have with him. Sister, Joice, I
- 6:39Speaker 1: see you. Good morning. God bless you in Jesus name
- 6:42Speaker 1: as well, and just a joye blesses everyone in the
- 6:45Speaker 1: name of Jesus. And that's powerful. When you do that, Amen,
- 6:48Speaker 1: you are extending the blessing of God over every single
- 6:52Speaker 1: person that's here and beyond. Right. So that's a blessing
- 6:55Speaker 1: right there. Thank you for the blessing, my sister, my friend.
- 6:58Speaker 1: So let's put this on this green for those who
- 7:00Speaker 1: are what I'm talking about for the past on the radio.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Right now, I'm gonna read the worst words, so don't
- 7:05Speaker 1: worry a man, You're not gonna miss anything that's happening
- 7:08Speaker 1: right now on the morning. Devo. Amen. So the power audio.
- 7:12Speaker 1: I believe in that so strongly that the audio will
- 7:15Speaker 1: be with us for all eternity. The sound of a
- 7:18Speaker 1: voice right will be with us for all eternity. The
- 7:21Speaker 1: sound of music will be with us for all eternity.
- 7:23Speaker 1: The sound of nature, the sound of man, the sound
- 7:26Speaker 1: of the glory of God will be with us for
- 7:29Speaker 1: all eternities. I truly believe that, brother, I avn God
- 7:31Speaker 1: bless you. Good morning. Welcome back to the morning. Devo,
- 7:34Speaker 1: my bro. So let's go for a protected by the power.
- 7:38Speaker 1: This is real, man, real power. Right. This is not
- 7:42Speaker 1: something that we made up. This is something that's in
- 7:44Speaker 1: the world of God. And look how God addresses us
- 7:47Speaker 1: in the scripture. He says through the apostle John, little children, believers,
- 7:54Speaker 1: dear ones, you are of God and you belong to
- 8:00Speaker 1: Him and have already overcome them, the agents of the Antichrist.
- 8:07Speaker 1: So listen, we are walking in victory already according to
- 8:11Speaker 1: the scripture. And God addresses us as little ones, deal ones, children,
- 8:16Speaker 1: a man, because he is our father who sent his
- 8:21Speaker 1: son to the son sent Holy Spirit to live in us,
- 8:25Speaker 1: to remind us of this truth. Because he who is
- 8:30Speaker 1: in you, that's right, he who is in you, he
- 8:36Speaker 1: who is in me, he who is in you, is
- 8:39Speaker 1: greater than he who's he Satan, the devil who is
- 8:44Speaker 1: in the world of sinfle mankind. That's why we are
- 8:51Speaker 1: in this world. But we're not of this world. Satan
- 8:55Speaker 1: us in this world, and he's ruling the world's system,
- 8:59Speaker 1: running the world's system, and running sinful mankind. But we
- 9:03Speaker 1: are no longer identified in this world of this world.
- 9:10Speaker 1: We're no longer identifying as a sinful man or as
- 9:13Speaker 1: a sinful woman. We are children of God. We belong
- 9:19Speaker 1: to God. We already overcame the agents of the Antichrist,
- 9:26Speaker 1: because Holy Spirit, who is in us, is greater than
- 9:31Speaker 1: that Antichrist Spirit who is in this world, greater than
- 9:36Speaker 1: Satan who is in the world, greater than the enemies
- 9:40Speaker 1: of God who is in the world, and greater than
- 9:44Speaker 1: any sinful mankind or sinful nature that is placed in
- 9:49Speaker 1: our flesh, not in our spirit, in our flesh. So
- 9:54Speaker 1: we are protected by what we are protected by the
- 9:57Speaker 1: power and presence of Almighty, all Loved, all Holy, all Righteous, God.
- 10:02Speaker 1: So we are walking in the victorious ways, the way
- 10:06Speaker 1: God wants us to walk. Amen. So we're not bragging,
- 10:10Speaker 1: we're not boasting, we're not calling ourselves holier than tho.
- 10:13Speaker 1: We are saying what the Word says over our lives.
- 10:16Speaker 1: And I always suggest people repeat with us over your life.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Don't repeat what your flesh you're saying. Don't repeat what
- 10:23Speaker 1: the enemy's saying. Don't repeat any atheists on Antichrist's spirited
- 10:27Speaker 1: person or group. Don't let them speak over your life. Amen,
- 10:31Speaker 1: speak the Word over your life. Right, enough is enough.
- 10:35Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about our salvation. We don't
- 10:39Speaker 1: have to wait till we die to see. Well, let's
- 10:42Speaker 1: take a chance. We don't live by taking a chance.
- 10:45Speaker 1: We live by the facts of our faith. We live
- 10:48Speaker 1: by the power of Holy Spirit. We live in victory,
- 10:51Speaker 1: not in defeat. We are above and we are not below.
- 10:55Speaker 1: The enemy is defeated, not us. And greater is he
- 10:59Speaker 1: who lives in us than the one who is in
- 11:02Speaker 1: the world. The one who controls the world's system is
- 11:07Speaker 1: not God, It's the devil. But God is sovereign over
- 11:11Speaker 1: all matters and all things, and even the devils on
- 11:15Speaker 1: the Father God to leash, even the devils on the
- 11:18Speaker 1: Lord to leash. Good morning, brother, Frank, good morning, my brother,
- 11:21Speaker 1: saying bless you and your family. Bless you and your
- 11:23Speaker 1: family as well as we move together. Man, forward, forward, forward,
- 11:27Speaker 1: march right. This is a war and we are on
- 11:29Speaker 1: the army of God, and we win. We win, ladies
- 11:33Speaker 1: and gentlemen. I know that's a spoiler alert for a
- 11:36Speaker 1: lot of people who are going through stuff right now.
- 11:39Speaker 1: They man, just like everybody else, will all have something
- 11:41Speaker 1: that we're going through. But if we have the mindset,
- 11:44Speaker 1: if we have the minor Christ like God promised to
- 11:47Speaker 1: give us, when we have Holy Spirit, we know we're
- 11:50Speaker 1: in victory. The devil cannot overpower Christian as believers, we
- 11:55Speaker 1: are protected by God and have been given authority over
- 11:59Speaker 1: the enemy through Jesus Christ. So it's not us against
- 12:04Speaker 1: the devil. It's not Jesus against the devil. It's not
- 12:06Speaker 1: the Father against the devil. It's not Holy Spirit against
- 12:08Speaker 1: the devil that was already defeated. I think our worst enemy,
- 12:14Speaker 1: more than the devil is our sinful flesh. The spirit
- 12:18Speaker 1: is willing, the flesh is weak. We are filled with
- 12:21Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. There's no occupancy for another spirit to live
- 12:25Speaker 1: inside of a born again believer, a child of God,
- 12:27Speaker 1: a dear one, right, a little chill child, like the
- 12:31Speaker 1: word calls us. No, there's no vacancy. There's no room
- 12:35Speaker 1: for another spirit to enter into a son or a
- 12:39Speaker 1: daughter of the Most High God. Trust that and believe
- 12:42Speaker 1: that we could be deceived by spirits tormented. Maybe we
- 12:47Speaker 1: could be obsessed, we could be depressed, we could be suppressed,
- 12:53Speaker 1: but we cannot be possessed by another spirit. We belong.
- 12:57Speaker 1: We belong to the Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit confirms
- 13:01Speaker 1: that we are signed, sealed, and delivered. We're in the
- 13:05Speaker 1: Lamb's Book of Life. So we're written in the Book
- 13:09Speaker 1: of Life. We are sealed by a holy Spirit of God.
- 13:12Speaker 1: We don't leak. Amen. God continues to pour in and
- 13:16Speaker 1: we pour out. God poris him, we pour out. We
- 13:18Speaker 1: don't leak. Don't We don't like have a slow leak
- 13:22Speaker 1: in us like some people preach. No, we have Holy
- 13:26Speaker 1: Spirit God living inside of us, every single part of us. Amen.
- 13:29Speaker 1: So when I do something wrong, I'm doing something wrong.
- 13:32Speaker 1: We're Holy Spirit God. God doesn't jump out when I
- 13:36Speaker 1: do something wrong and jump back in. Okay, you're right,
- 13:38Speaker 1: You're good now. No, that's not the God that we serve.
- 13:42Speaker 1: We have the sealed Holy Spirit. From today to the
- 13:46Speaker 1: to the day of Redemption, to the day of the Lord.
- 13:48Speaker 1: We are covered, sealed, signed and delivered. Amen. So the
- 13:53Speaker 1: New Testament encourages us to stand firm in our faith
- 13:59Speaker 1: and resist the death, knowing that he will flee from
- 14:03Speaker 1: you and flee from me. The Bible says in James
- 14:06Speaker 1: chapter fourth, verse seven that if we submit to God
- 14:11Speaker 1: resist the devil, he will run. Why is he running
- 14:15Speaker 1: because I'm a bad guy or you're a bad woman.
- 14:18Speaker 1: That we got you know what I'm saying. We got
- 14:20Speaker 1: some superpower over the devil. Yes, we do have a
- 14:24Speaker 1: superpower over the devil. It's called Holy Spirit God. Amen.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Greater is the spirit of God living inside of me
- 14:32Speaker 1: and living inside of you. If you're born again, if
- 14:34Speaker 1: you made things right with the Lord, then he who
- 14:37Speaker 1: is in the world. So the Greater will wipe out
- 14:40Speaker 1: the lesser. Amen. The Greater will take care of the enemy.
- 14:44Speaker 1: The enemy is defeated. I wish I had an echo
- 14:47Speaker 1: chamber so it could sound like this. The enemy is defeated, defeated,
- 14:50Speaker 1: So always you'll always remember that when he comes against you,
- 14:54Speaker 1: when he comes against your family, when he comes against
- 14:56Speaker 1: your finances, when he comes against your health, when he
- 14:58Speaker 1: comes against your mind, when he tries to speak death
- 15:01Speaker 1: over you. No, no, it's not going to work. Because
- 15:05Speaker 1: why we have Holy Spirit living within us, a man,
- 15:08Speaker 1: and as long as Holy Spirit lists in us, the
- 15:11Speaker 1: enemy is gonna know. Yeah, that person is submitted. I
- 15:14Speaker 1: gotta go. That person submitted to the Lord, the Father,
- 15:18Speaker 1: the Son, the Holy Ghost. I gotta go. The enemy
- 15:20Speaker 1: saying I cannot stay here because I'm always gonna lose.
- 15:27Speaker 1: He's fighting a losing battle, you know what I'm saying.
- 15:31Speaker 1: He's fighting a battle that's kind of fixed. It's a
- 15:35Speaker 1: fixed fight, just like the Tyson fight right that we saw.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Oh man, that stuff. But yeah, fight is fixed. We win.
- 15:45Speaker 1: But if you're not on the winning team, you're gonna lose.
- 15:50Speaker 1: You're gonna lose if you're an atheist, agnostic, cynic, skeptic,
- 15:56Speaker 1: a witch, a warlock, if you're into zodiac and psychic
- 16:04Speaker 1: stuff and you don't repent from those things, and you're
- 16:07Speaker 1: gonna lose. That's the bad news for a person who
- 16:11Speaker 1: doesn't trust in the good news, who doesn't trust in
- 16:14Speaker 1: the Gospel. You lose. Who in the right in the
- 16:17Speaker 1: right mind wants to lose. I don't want to lose.
- 16:21Speaker 1: I want to win, and you win, and you win
- 16:23Speaker 1: that I put this big a man with all the
- 16:25Speaker 1: hand claps on it. Let me put that again. But
- 16:27Speaker 1: I even thank you for that. Amen. So listen, we
- 16:31Speaker 1: are in dwelt by Holy Spirit. And greater is he
- 16:35Speaker 1: who is in us than he who is in the world.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Scripture says that the evil one cannot touch us. There's
- 16:44Speaker 1: a lot of ministries going around, and all they concentrated
- 16:48Speaker 1: is on casting out demons. Great, we have the authority
- 16:52Speaker 1: to cast out demons. But I think you're putting too
- 16:55Speaker 1: much emphasis on the demonic and not enough emphasis on
- 16:59Speaker 1: the who we are in Christ. And let the enemy
- 17:03Speaker 1: know that he's not even invited to this party. Amen.
- 17:07Speaker 1: And these ministries keep on inviting demons to their church,
- 17:10Speaker 1: to their parties. Okay, they gonna get delivered, right, they're
- 17:14Speaker 1: gonna have to leave. But where are they going the
- 17:17Speaker 1: circus you're running, or you're work or you're running a church.
- 17:21Speaker 1: All those demon slayers out there, repent from your idolatry.
- 17:28Speaker 1: You're idolizing these demonic forces, you're writing books about it,
- 17:33Speaker 1: you're filling up buildings over it, and then you're saying
- 17:38Speaker 1: that you have some power that you do to cast
- 17:41Speaker 1: them out. But where are they going? What are you doing?
- 17:45Speaker 1: And what's the lesson behind that? This? Right here? First
- 17:51Speaker 1: John chapter five, verse eighteen. The evil one cannot touch us.
- 17:56Speaker 1: So if the evil one couldnot touch us, why are
- 17:59Speaker 1: we going to your ministry for you to lay hands
- 18:02Speaker 1: on us to cast out a demon? When if I'm
- 18:05Speaker 1: born again or ready, well, if that person that you're
- 18:08Speaker 1: laying hands on is bored again already, there's no demon
- 18:11Speaker 1: in them. They're just dealing with the flesh. Why how
- 18:15Speaker 1: do I know that? Because we just read it. Greater
- 18:17Speaker 1: is the one that lives in that person that you're
- 18:20Speaker 1: laying hands on, if they're born again, than the one
- 18:23Speaker 1: who's in the world. So what are you casting out?
- 18:25Speaker 1: Holy Spirit? I don't know why I went down that road.
- 18:29Speaker 1: I just see too much stuff online and it just
- 18:34Speaker 1: irks me because I'm like, that's not cool. How people
- 18:37Speaker 1: manipulate people, that's not cool. How people play with people's emotions,
- 18:40Speaker 1: that's not cool. How people take the scriptures and they
- 18:44Speaker 1: use it up all different ways in error, puffing up themselves,
- 18:49Speaker 1: making the attention go to yourself as the chief of
- 18:55Speaker 1: hostile or whatever you want to call yourself. But you're
- 18:58Speaker 1: not put in the fas on the fact. Then, if
- 19:02Speaker 1: you're born again, you are living in victory. If you're
- 19:05Speaker 1: born again, you're submitting to God. The devil has to go.
- 19:09Speaker 1: You're born again. Holy Spirit lives inside of you. There's
- 19:12Speaker 1: no vacancy for a demon to live inside of you
- 19:15Speaker 1: as well. Can you imagine the Holy Spirit God saying, Oh,
- 19:19Speaker 1: there's a demon, I guess I gotta let him in.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Oh there's a demon. I guess he's gonna break in.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Oh there's a demon. I guess I have to, you know,
- 19:27Speaker 1: give him some rental space in Sam's body or Sister
- 19:31Speaker 1: Joyce's body, or Frank's body, or Brother Ivan's body or
- 19:34Speaker 1: Nils's body. No, it's not that way. We have the
- 19:38Speaker 1: power of Holy Spirit, living, breathing, working out salvation through
- 19:44Speaker 1: us a man. We cannot live a victorious Christian life
- 19:48Speaker 1: without allowing Holy Spirit to live that life through us,
- 19:52Speaker 1: so that all this could see what we're doing. Because
- 19:55Speaker 1: we're aspired, we're led, we're guided, regarded, protected by the
- 20:00Speaker 1: power of Holy Spirit. And then other people get curious,
- 20:04Speaker 1: because you know humans, right, they want to know how
- 20:07Speaker 1: do they do that? How do they live that way?
- 20:10Speaker 1: And then they'll probably ask you or ask me the question,
- 20:13Speaker 1: what do you do? How are you living the way
- 20:16Speaker 1: you live? And Boom could give them the gospel, you
- 20:20Speaker 1: could give them your testimony. Most importantly, the Holy Spirit
- 20:23Speaker 1: will speak directly into that person's life and answer that
- 20:27Speaker 1: question directly into that person's soul. The spirit amazing power
- 20:32Speaker 1: that we're protected by. We're protected by the power of
- 20:35Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, Jesus himself. We are equipped with the
- 20:43Speaker 1: full armor of God, which is essentially Jesus himself. The
- 20:47Speaker 1: full armor of God is essentially Jesus himself. Right. We
- 20:53Speaker 1: see that in the Ephesian Chapter six, verses ten to eighteen.
- 20:57Speaker 1: We stand against the enemy's schemes. We do We do
- 21:02Speaker 1: it in politics, we do it socially, we do it
- 21:06Speaker 1: on social media. We do it at church, we do
- 21:08Speaker 1: it at work, we do it at school. We stand
- 21:11Speaker 1: against the enemy's schemes. He's always scheming. He's a schemer,
- 21:17Speaker 1: he's a scammer, he's a deceiver, he's a liar, he's
- 21:19Speaker 1: a thief. He's a destroyer, he's a killer, murderer, he's
- 21:23Speaker 1: all of that. So we stand against the enemy's schemes.
- 21:27Speaker 1: We come against the enemy's plans, We come against the
- 21:32Speaker 1: enemy's tactics that try to go into our minds. We
- 21:35Speaker 1: cancel all of that in the name of Jesus, by
- 21:38Speaker 1: the power of Holy Spirit. Now by my power, not
- 21:41Speaker 1: by your power. Now by the Marvel Superheroes, the Avengers,
- 21:44Speaker 1: the X Men, not by the DC comics, the Justice League,
- 21:48Speaker 1: and none of that stuff. We don't got to call
- 21:49Speaker 1: none of those guys if they existed. And then we
- 21:52Speaker 1: call upon the name of the Lord, and by the
- 21:55Speaker 1: power Holy Spirit of God, we submit to God, resist
- 21:58Speaker 1: the devil. He will fly. And like the scripture says
- 22:01Speaker 1: that we first read the first John, chapter four and
- 22:03Speaker 1: verse four, that we are dear ones, we are children
- 22:06Speaker 1: of the Living God. Right, the enemy pretty much is done.
- 22:13Speaker 1: And man, he's going about doing what he can. He's
- 22:16Speaker 1: searching for the week, right, and he's showing up like
- 22:20Speaker 1: a devouring spirit, like a roaring line, you know, parading himself.
- 22:26Speaker 1: And then if you bite into that rotten apple, that
- 22:30Speaker 1: rotten seed, or that rotten fruit, and then you're gonna
- 22:33Speaker 1: be probably losing the battle right then and there. But
- 22:38Speaker 1: first John chapter four four says, little children, believers, dear ones,
- 22:43Speaker 1: you are of God, and you belong to God, and
- 22:47Speaker 1: have already overcome the agents of the antich Christ. Because
- 22:52Speaker 1: he who is in you we have union with God
- 22:57Speaker 1: by way of Holy Spirit, is greater than and he
- 23:00Speaker 1: who is in the world. I know we quote that
- 23:03Speaker 1: a lot, but do we really understand what that means.
- 23:06Speaker 1: We're greater than the world system. The Kingdom of God
- 23:10Speaker 1: is not the kingdom of this world. The Kingdom of
- 23:13Speaker 1: Light has no way with the kingdom of the darkness. Right.
- 23:19Speaker 1: We are a royal priesthood, not an unholy priesthood. Right
- 23:25Speaker 1: we are we have Holy Spirit, we don't have unholy Spirit.
- 23:29Speaker 1: We have Christ. We're not anti Christ. We promote life,
- 23:33Speaker 1: we don't promote death. Amen. So we submit to God.
- 23:38Speaker 1: We resist his schemes, his tactics. We resist him, and
- 23:42Speaker 1: he leaves. He leaves. Remember, the devil is not omnipresent
- 23:48Speaker 1: like the Lord a man. He's in certain areas right now,
- 23:53Speaker 1: walking through the earth, traveling. He has a lot of
- 23:56Speaker 1: dominion on this earth's system. Right, he has a lot
- 24:00Speaker 1: of legions here and there, strongholds and all that can't
- 24:04Speaker 1: deny it. We see it with our own eyes. But
- 24:07Speaker 1: the Kingdom of God, we don't. We don't go that route.
- 24:11Speaker 1: When he knocks on the doors of the Kingdom, Amen,
- 24:15Speaker 1: the Angel of the Lord answers the door and says,
- 24:18Speaker 1: what do you want? He has to submit to the
- 24:21Speaker 1: authority of the power of God. He has to submit
- 24:25Speaker 1: to the Kingdom of God. Right the evils the devil,
- 24:30Speaker 1: I said, the evil the devil is defeated. We are
- 24:35Speaker 1: quit with the full arm of God, which essentially is Jesus.
- 24:38Speaker 1: This arm includes truth, righteousness, the Gospel of Peace, faith, salvation,
- 24:45Speaker 1: and the Word of God, which is the sword. Amen.
- 24:47Speaker 1: So while the enemy tries to deceive us, he tries
- 24:51Speaker 1: to lie about us, accuse us, we resting in truth
- 24:55Speaker 1: that Christ has already defeated him through his death and
- 25:00Speaker 1: Collagns Chapter two and fifteen. So our role is to
- 25:05Speaker 1: what trust in the truth for God. Set our minds
- 25:09Speaker 1: on things above and not on earthly distractions. And remember
- 25:13Speaker 1: who we are protected by. We're protected by not a force.
- 25:17Speaker 1: We're protected by the force of the person of the
- 25:19Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Amen. So we are good in Christ. We
- 25:24Speaker 1: are victorious in Christ. We are above now below in Christ,
- 25:29Speaker 1: and the enemy gotta go. Amen. Let them think what
- 25:34Speaker 1: he wants to think, let him say what he wants
- 25:36Speaker 1: to say. Amen, Listen, We're not going to fall for
- 25:39Speaker 1: it anymore. So thank you so much for hanging out
- 25:42Speaker 1: with me. I hope you get what I was saying first,
- 25:43Speaker 1: John chapter four. Read the whole chapter for yourself as
- 25:46Speaker 1: you go about your day. So I'll bless you all
- 25:49Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. God. Bless you, God keep you,
- 25:52Speaker 1: and remember always that God is good. Peace.
