Unity Keeps The Devil Away- The Power of Agreement · Godly Hacks

0:00
It's late. I'm like the rabbit at, what was that? Alice in Wonderland.
0:05
It's late. It's late. I can't forget my date.
0:08
I want to welcome you if you're watching me. How you doing? My name is Lisa
0:11
Hanson, and today I'm going to talk to you about unity in the Bible and unity
0:16
with Christians and what is the purpose
0:18
and the importance of unity, because I've discovered something that I didn't know before,
0:24
and it's pretty important.
0:27
So do me a favor, grab a friend, help me to get this broadcast out.
0:31
Let me know where you're watching from. Where are you watching from?
0:33
What city? What state? What town?
0:37
Are you a Christian? Yes or no? You can tell me that in the comments.
0:40
And then, have you ever seen me before? Yes or no?
0:43
And then just every once in a while, ask me a question, because that's how I
0:46
know that you're watching.
0:48
I'm going to let you watch a little bit of this video while I take a second
0:51
to share and let people know I'm live.
0:54
And I'll be right with you. Let's see. Let's watch a couple of these, shall we?
0:58
Refuse to rehearse the failure after your prayer.
1:03
Replace words like, I'm not enough with God called me, God formed me, God will help me.
1:09
Because whatever is written down gets revisited by your brain.
1:13
Whatever gets revisited gets rooted and whatever gets rooted becomes real come
1:19
on whatever you root is going to become real that's girl good that's a preachable
1:23
right that's a preachable you're right preachable.
1:26
Whatever gets rooted is what becomes real.
1:30
So if you don't want, you know, I don't have enough to get rooted, you must stop saying it.
1:34
If I don't want, it's a boys club, but nobody, I need to stop saying it.
1:39
I got to hack my RAS, my RAS. I got a lot of boys going on today.
1:43
You got to hack your reticular activating system.
1:47
And you need to begin to say what you want to see and stop saying what you already see.
1:52
Because whatever becomes rooted will become real.
1:56
So if I keep saying I lack, if I keep saying nobody will help me,
1:59
that's what becomes real.
2:00
Not just in reality, but in your brain. Your brain literally filters out any
2:06
possibility that something other than what you say can change.
2:09
Tell it. This girl is going to have to say something different than what you see to get this. Yeah.
2:15
Refuse to rehearse the failure after. I'll see what else she's going to say.
2:18
But here's the thing that you need to know.
2:20
Any wicked, perverted, whatever, that is a demonic spirit. And you cannot medicate
2:26
that away. Nope, you sure can't. That is not a medication issue.
2:30
That is an actual spirit, a dark, horrific spirit.
2:35
And I'm going to tell you something like, let's just take this guy's case,
2:37
this Tanner Lynn Horner guy. Bad person. He said that a guy named Zero made
2:44
him do it, or something named Zero.
2:46
Now, the police interviewing him thinks he's crazy. They think he's just lying.
2:52
He's not lying. He's not lying.
2:55
He's basically telling you the name of the devil that has overtaken him.
2:59
And I guarantee if that guy was in the room with an anointed man or woman of
3:03
God, that thing would manifest because that's an actual spirit.
3:07
So does that mean he gets off because the spirit made him do it?
3:11
No, you open yourself up. And when he was a little, it's really freaking sad, honestly.
3:14
When he was a little kid, they said that his, basically his mother was a wayward
3:18
chick in and out of stuff or whatever. She was doing pot. She was drinking.
3:23
There was fighting. I mean, every dark demonic thing you could imagine.
3:27
He was probably left to his own devices a lot of times.
3:30
And so it was a traumatic upbringing and the devil got in there.
3:34
I'm just sharing you guys while I'm here. Hold on. But here's the thing that you need to know.
3:40
Like that's the thing. But I'm saying sometimes people look at Kenneth Copeland
3:45
and he has money and you think it's your mission to drag him down.
3:48
Thank you guys. I see y'all joining us.
3:49
If he was doing anything wrong, the Lord would handle him. I'm just taking a quick minute to share.
3:53
He is a great, generous, kind man of God. He's given away a lot.
3:57
And like I said, if he flew around my property on his jet going,
4:00
woohoo, I'd be so happy for him.
4:03
It is a wicked, wicked spirit that wants preachers of the gospel broke and tired
4:10
and hurt. You're wicked. You're of the devil.
4:13
Yeah. What you're saying is I want you to take care of all the people.
4:18
You take care of everybody, but do not take care of yourself.
4:21
And you're a wicked devil. That's what you are.
4:24
And so I feel like preachers should be well taken care of. Now on them,
4:28
Lisa. I think Nick Copeland should be a billionaire.
4:30
If Elon Musk can be a billionaire just for being smart and going to space,
4:34
shouldn't Kenneth Copeland, whose ministry has literally pulled multitudes of people out of darkness?
4:40
And of course, it's Jesus who always does the work. But Jesus didn't come down
4:44
off the throne. He used Kenneth Copeland.
4:46
Jesus worked through people. He always works through people.
4:50
You got that right. Jesus works through people.
4:53
And this whole, you know, the word of faith and believing and everything that
4:56
you think you like. See y'all on YouTube. I see y'all on YouTube.
4:59
We'll see y'all on Facebook. Kenneth is just quoting what's in the Bible.
5:02
Love you guys. All these YouTube weirdos, they've got a problem with the name it, claim it gospel.
5:05
Jesus is the one who originated a name it, claim it.
5:08
Jesus is the one who originated a prosperity gospel.
5:13
Jesus said in Mark 11, 22 and 23. Y'all here? Everybody here, ask you guys. That's me.
5:18
Shall say to this mountain. I see you. I see you.
5:22
I see you. I see you. And not doubt in his heart, but believe the things he says.
5:27
I don't believe in a name it, claim it. Well, maybe you should read your Bible
5:29
or rip that page out or exit out. Put us in there.
5:32
Whosoever says to this mountain, whoever says this mountain,
5:36
that's right. And doesn't doubt in his heart. Name it, claim it.
5:38
But believes the things that he says have come to pass.
5:42
He will have whatever he said. Oh, that sucks that makes the devil mad.
5:44
Hey, Diana. You're going to like this message.
5:46
I don't think you should name it and claim it. Well, rip that out of your Bible
5:49
then because Jesus Christ is the one who said it. Yep.
5:52
So unless you plan on ripping this out. Yeah, you're going to rip it out.
5:55
Look at that. You see that? Rip it out. Just take it out. Rip it out,
5:58
rip it out. Do those pages?
6:00
Right there see it rip it out yeah you can see it name it and claim it's in
6:06
the bible so that's number one,
6:08

7:19
I'm not addressing them or talking to them, but I'm talking to you guys,
7:21
and I'm glad that you're watching.
7:23
Let me do something on my phone so that my broadcast. So I want to talk to you
7:26
about something. Say this in
7:27
the comments, this word, say this word in the comments, unity, U-N-I-T-Y.
7:34
It's something that people don't often talk about. I'm fixing my display so
7:37
it doesn't keep bumping off.
7:39
It's something that people don't often talk about and preach about.
7:44
But I'm going to tell you something. What I learned is that,
7:48
What? You're removing them. You don't have to. What I am learning is that unity
7:54
is really important, like really important. And I'm going to explain to you
7:58
why with my message today.
8:01
So, and that could be why maybe sometimes things isn't, they're not happening
8:04
in your life. Lisa, is that why? Probably.
8:09
Quick announcement. We did as a church, I want to thank you all and partners.
8:13
Thank you so much. Actually, I'm going to send some more money out this month.
8:17
You helped me to support a school in africa. I don't have the picture of it.
8:20
I'll find it I want to thank you all very much. We sent money to them They've
8:24
had a school over there for 25 years And they are helping children that are
8:29
literally in extreme poverty and you helped me to do it So I just want to say thank you.
8:33
You've helped over in africa. God bless you for that Partners you've helped
8:36
me to feed children We have spent sometimes as much as 400 a month on feeding these other kids.
8:42
So thank you for that And as you sow and as you partner, may God bless.
8:47
So preach at lisa.com, the ways to give her there. Let me just pray first before
8:50
I even start over partners.
8:52
Lord, I am thanking you for monthly committed partners.
8:56
I thank you that you helped me to do what you've called me to do.
9:00
Thank you for everything that you've been teaching me.
9:03
I thank you for the spirit of unity today. I speak over my partner.
9:06
There's so many of my partners watching.
9:09
And God, I just declare a divine blessing specifically for my partners that you have sent to me.
9:15
May you multiply the seed that they sow supernaturally, radically,
9:21
so much, God, because you love them.
9:23
Thank you for prosperity from the north, south, west, and east in Jesus' name.
9:26
And remember, line your mouth up with the word. Remember that.
9:31
Line your mouth up with the word. So when you sow to my ministry, don't just send a seed.
9:36
When you sow, say, Father, I thank you. You said when I give,
9:39
it's given back, good measure pressed down. Oh God, I thank you.
9:41
That seed comes back to me.
9:43
God, you said when I cast my bread upon the waters, it'll come back after many days.
9:47
Oh God, I thank you. I'm in partnership with you financially.
9:50
And I thank you the floodgates can open now over me. That's what you say, amen?
9:56
All right, let's get into this unity. So I'm gonna tell you something that,
9:59
you know, I don't know about you, but I'm always learning. God is always showing
10:03
me something. He's really been working on me a lot. He's been showing me some things.
10:07
And this word unity is a message I've never preached on before.
10:10
But in my ministry, I am noticing it makes a massive difference.
10:15
And so for those of you that follow me, those of you that are here every day,
10:19
like Diana, like Holly, like Melissa, like Marissa, like Stephanie,
10:24
and some of the other new YouTubers that come and watch me.
10:28
Okay, so some of you that, you know, you watch me and you're faithful and whatever,
10:34
I want you to understand you are part of a group that are united and unity is powerful.
10:41
What do I mean by that? So you all that come and you follow my ministry,
10:44
you believe in prosperity. You know, the Bible says it.
10:46
You believe it's real. You believe money, God wants to bless you with money,
10:50
that he wants to use you to increase and do great things in the world.
10:54
So you're united in that.
10:55
You believe Jesus is the only way to God. There's not multiple ways. You are in unity.
11:01
You now believe that every single Christian can be baptized in the Holy Ghost.
11:07
With the power of speaking in other tongues.
11:09
You are in unity. Okay.
11:12
What happens if you believe those things, okay, you believe that stuff,
11:17
and then you go and hang out with people that don't believe it.
11:21
You believe in speaking in tongues, but your best friend is always speaking
11:24
against you saying they don't think it's real.
11:26
You believe in prosperity, but you have a bunch of Christians telling you that's
11:30
not what God meant, even though it's literally written in the Bible,
11:33
that's exactly what he meant.
11:35
Well, what happens is you're going to get messed up.
11:38
And a lot of Christians, you don't understand that there are people sent to
11:42
your life, sent in your ears to rob you of the word of God and rob you of the
11:48
blessing. And I'm going to use some of the stuff that's happened to me as an example, as I teach.
11:53
The Bible says in Acts 2, 1 and 4, this is our main text. So if you want to put it in there, you can.
11:58
Acts 2, 1 through 4. When the day of Pentecost was fully come,
12:03
they were all, put that word all in the comments, they were all in multiple accords.
12:08
Well, I think we ought to do, no, one accord. They were all in one one.
12:12
Put two words in the comments, all in one, all in one.
12:16
They were in one accord. And suddenly there came a sound as a rushing mighty
12:22
wind filled the house and there appeared cloven tongues of fire.
12:25
And it sat and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.
12:29
So there's something powerful that happens when God's people get in one place,
12:33
one mind and one spirit. And I used to think That's not possible until I've seen it in my church now.
12:41
It's possible. And I'm going to explain something to you in a minute.
12:43
So the Bible says they were in one accord. Suddenly heaven moved.
12:47
Not when they were arguing.
12:50
Not when they were competing, not when they were offended, not when everybody
12:54
had their own agenda, but when they were in one accord, the Holy Ghost fell.
12:59
That tells me that unity is created an atmosphere where heaven can invade earth.
13:04
Unity attracts the presence of God, believe it or not.
13:08
Psalm 133, 1, behold, how good and pleasant is it for the brethren to dwell in unity.
13:15
The Bible says, how good and how pleasant. Say this word, good and pleasant.
13:21
How good and how pleasant is it to be in unity?
13:26
It's like the precious ointment upon the head that runs down over the beard,
13:30
even Aaron's beard that went to his skirts.
13:33
And as he drew the dew of Zion for there, the Lord commanded the blessing, even life evermore.
13:39
God doesn't just suggest unity. He says when there's unity, the Lord commands a blessing.
13:45
You know, sometimes in our life,
13:47
we're like, man, I'm doing all the right stuff, but there's not unity.
13:50
So it's hard. And I will tell you, I'll tell you from personal experience,
13:55
the devil does work over time to get people out of unity.
14:00
If you have followed my ministry for any length of time, someone has tried to talk to you against me.
14:06
Somebody has told you that this isn't right. Tongues isn't for today. She's crazy, whatever.
14:12
That's not a coincidence. That is a devil sowing discord so that you can't receive
14:18
from God the blessings that come. And I'm not saying that I'm anything great
14:21
or special. Don't get it twisted.
14:23
But I'm telling you, that's how the devil works.
14:26
I don't really think that she should have said that. I don't like this about
14:29
her. And that's it. Now you're in discord and you won't be able to get the blessing.
14:34
So unity is really powerful. When the oil flowed, it started from the head and
14:38
ran down. That's the anointing.
14:40
Unity makes room for the anointing to flow where there's strife, jealousy, division.
14:47
But when the people come together in love, honor, and humility.
14:50
Unity is not everybody being the same. It's everybody being submitted to the
14:54
same spirit. Does that make sense?
14:57
Yes, all in one unity. Thank you. Is that our friend? Who's our new friend from
15:01
YouTube? I can't really read it that good. SP, what's that say?
15:03
Saying you're a blessing. Thank you for joining us today. We've got some new—I,
15:08
think you've watched me before. If you have never seen me before, please comment me.
15:11
And if you're fairly new, say I'm new.
15:15
The Holy Ghost fell in one accord. Before the day of Pentecost,
15:19
Jesus said in Acts 1.14, these all continued in one accord with prayer and supplication.
15:25
They weren't just sitting in the room.
15:27
They were praying and they were believing together.
15:30
Then Acts 2 says the day of Pentecost came in the Holy Spirit.
15:34
The Holy Ghost fell when they were unified.
15:36
So let me ask you, if the Holy Spirit falls when they're all one,
15:40
is it any wonder that stuff comes against you constantly to aggravate?
15:45
To annoy, to split, to make you not one. I know in marriage relationships,
15:49
I'll just tell you with me and Chad, a lot of times the enemy comes to sow discord
15:54
so that we're arguing and riffing and whatever.
15:56
Because if we do that, we can never get the blessing that we're supposed to get.
16:00
And it makes it very hard. Unity releases boldness, Acts 4.24.
16:05
When they heard, they lifted their voice to God in one accord.
16:09
And in Acts 4.31, when they prayed, the place was shaken
16:15
where they assembled together and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and
16:21
they had boldness and they believed and they lifted their voice with one accord
16:25
and the place was shaken.
16:27
Come on. Unity brings the shaking of God.
16:30
Unity brings boldness. Unity brings a fresh filling. Unity brings courage.
16:37
Now I'm going to tell you some stuff that I experienced and I'll go on to point four.
16:43
So y'all know I have this church and it's just been whatever.
16:46
It's, you know, I want it to grow more than it is and sometimes it isn't. Okay.
16:51
I will tell you in my church over time.
16:55
That there keeps coming in people that not only do they not understand the Holy
17:00
Ghost, but they don't like Him.
17:02
So like I'm up there worshiping, smiling, dancing, and I have had numerous people
17:09
sit directly in front of my face like this, extremely resisting the Spirit of the living God.
17:16
Okay. As a minister, that is very hard. I hate it, as a matter of fact,
17:21
because I am trying desperately to just worship God just lead people in.
17:26
And I got someone right in front of me like this.
17:29
And honestly, I don't even think the person's saved, just so you know.
17:33
But what I realized is that person is there to cause disunity.
17:39
I didn't know that before. And I'll tell you why I figured it out.
17:43
Then same thing. I had somebody, they're in church.
17:46
They pretend to the girl that they're saved, but I don't think they are saved because here's why.
17:51
I'll be, and this is a true thing. I'm just going to tell you what happened.
17:56
It's absolutely disgusting, but I'm going to tell you.
17:58
I was preaching and the spirit of God was moving. And this fool literally hiked
18:04
himself up in the chair to fart.
18:06
Now we are a small church. I can see everything.
18:09
I was so pissed off. I'm telling you. It was all the strength of God that I
18:13
had not to say something, but I didn't want to hurt other people around.
18:17
Why does that kind of stuff happen? Well, for one, to get me off course.
18:20
For two, that person is a spirit of disunity.
18:23
They are there to disrupt. They are not there to help.
18:27
Sometimes my praise team will come in prepared, anointed, whatever,
18:32
and then there's just a spirit in the room and you can feel it and it drags the whole thing down.
18:37
Now, I didn't used to believe this in the sense that I used to think,
18:41
hey, you know, whatever, you just can overcome everything.
18:44
But all of a sudden, when these people that cause discord, that openly defy
18:49
me, that openly defy the Lord, that openly are not interested,
18:54
I want you all to understand this. And I know people don't believe it.
18:57
Some people are like, well, they need Jesus. Everyone needs Jesus.
18:59
No, there are some people sent of the devil to screw you up.
19:04
There are some people sent in your life to jack you up. There are some people
19:07
sent to create constant discord, constant trouble, constant issues.
19:14
Right. Stephanie, will you pull that? Stephanie, you're so cute with the Bible.
19:18
Could you kindly pull that Bible verse up for me, please, and put it in the
19:21
comments? Excellent Bible verse.
19:23
Yeah, she said, this is one thing that God hates, a person that sows discord.
19:27
That's in the scripture. These six things God hates, seven are an abomination,
19:30
a lying spirit, divisive. And one of the things said, he who sows discord among the brethren.
19:36
Let's look up the definition. Let me see something.
19:40
Let me do grog because I don't want to mess up my notes.
19:43
In the Bible, when it talks about discord, can you tell me what the definition
19:48
of that word discord, and specifically in the verse, these six things God hates
19:53
and it names discord among the brethren.
19:55
What's the definition of that word discord biblically in either the Greek or the Hebrew?
20:00
Let's find out, shall we?
20:04
Proverbs 6, 16, these six things the Lord hates, seven are an abomination,
20:09
a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood.
20:12
You know, these crazy politicians that say abortion isn't in the Bible.
20:16
Okay, right there. God hates you, just so you know.
20:19
Hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked imagination. Listen to this.
20:25
Feet that are swift to running to mischief, a false witness that speaks lies,
20:31
and he that sows discord among the brethren. Thank you, Marissa.
20:38
This is the specific verse you're referring to. So here's the Bible definition.
20:43
In Proverbs 6.14, it also describes discord, and the Hebrew word is madan, M-A-D-A-N.
20:50
It means, listen to this, what is discord? He who sows discord.
20:53
I'm just going to use each word for the definition.
20:56
He who sows strife, he who sows contention, he who sows bitter conflict,
21:02
he who sows heated dissension, he who sows lack of agreement, he who sows harmony.
21:09
Sowing discord pictures a farmer scattering seeds and then deliberately spreading
21:15
conflict, division, gossip, lies, unfounded accusations, negative criticism, backbiting.
21:23
This causes distrust, arguments, and disunity.
21:27
It's intentional. It is not accidental. It's meant to stir up strife, and it ties into...
21:34
Proverbs 6, 12, which portrays a worthless or wicked person with a perverted heart who devises evil.
21:43
So God calls that person worthless or wicked.
21:48
God values unity and peace and love.
21:52
So he warns against division. So now let me go back to my message in this.
21:58
So that's what it is. Division is like discord. Okay. So in my church,
22:03
I noticed that I have these people sometimes.
22:06
And the only reason they're there is to irritate me.
22:08
And the only reason they're there is to hinder the spirit of God.
22:11
And I'll tell you, for example, we had, and you guys know, cause you were watching the broadcast.
22:15
We had a Sunday service. It was very powerful.
22:18
My praise team was doing wonderful. The spirit of the living God was moving.
22:22
Some lunatic came in off the street.
22:25
He pretended to be religious. He had a, I love Jesus hat. He had pins all over
22:28
him, but he was as full of the devil as the day is long. And I knew it.
22:32
The other people didn't know it, but I knew it.
22:34
He comes and he sits down. How do you know this, Lisa? Well,
22:37
he comes and he sits down. I'm in the middle of preaching and he starts talking.
22:41
If you're in church and a preacher's preaching and somebody won't stop talking
22:45
like nonstop, that's a distraction.
22:48
That's el stupido. You shouldn't be by somebody like that.
22:51
So he wouldn't stop talking. I'm clearly talking and he's talking.
22:54
I should have told him to shut up, but I didn't, but I should have.
22:57
And so then, oh, and he keeps sunglasses on. That's how else I knew he was a devil.
23:03
You've got sunglasses in the church. It's because you won't look me in the eye.
23:06
And if you won't look me in the eye, you're full of the devil.
23:08
Just so y'all know, people that are demonized, they can't look you in the eye.
23:11
If you're full of the Holy Ghost and you go to look at somebody and they're
23:14
constantly looking down or away, that's a devil. Just so you know,
23:17
that's usually a telltale sign. So.
23:21
Anyway, so he's got his glasses on. He's sitting there. He's talking when I'm
23:24
talking. And then I do the altar call, the most holy part of the thing.
23:28
You know what this fool does?
23:29
He gets up and drops himself on the ground in front of me and on his knees.
23:33
Well, that was it. I was aggravated. And I said, sir, do you need prayer for
23:38
something? That's all I had to say.
23:40
When I asked that fool if he needed prayer, he jumped up.
23:44
Nope, nope, I'm good. I'm good. He couldn't get out of there fast enough.
23:47
Stole something from the church. I'm just going to take this Easter egg or whatever.
23:52
They talk too much.
23:55
Anyway, he took an Easter egg and then he left. That guy was full of the devil.
23:59
And the reason he came, you all, is because there was a power. There was a presence.
24:04
There was a peace. It was beautiful. There was an anointing.
24:08
And the devil's like, nope, gonna stop this. It's like the girl that followed
24:12
Paul the apostle around.
24:13
Paul had a mission. Paul was preaching the gospel. He was doing great things.
24:17
And the girl full of the devil said, these men and whatever,
24:19
and she just started running her mouth, it's the same thing. Okay? Makes sense.
24:24
All right, unity helps God's people build what could not be built alone. Nehemiah 4, 6.
24:30
So we built the wall and the wall was joined together for the people had a mind to work.
24:36
Do you remember the Tower of Babel in the Old Testament?
24:39
They all worked together and they actually supposedly built a tower to heaven
24:43
and God had to give us different languages so we couldn't work together to get to heaven.
24:48
So when you're in unity, that shows you can be productive. When you're in disunity, it's a problem.
24:56
You can't get stuff done. When people are divided, the wall stays broken.
25:00
When they're unified, the wall gets repaired. Unity brings the glory of God.
25:04
2 Chronicles 5.13, It came to pass as the trumpeters and singers were making
25:08
a sound, praising and thanking the Lord, the house was filled with a cloud so
25:12
the priest could not even stand.
25:14
So the devil knows it. The devil knows if you get on one accord.
25:17
The devil knows if you guys come, and everyone on here believes in prosperity,
25:22
believes in speaking in tongues, believes that God can heal,
25:26
believes it's okay for a woman to preach and you just are strong and you're
25:29
full of what you believe that.
25:31
We're all going in a positive direction.
25:34
But if we have a group of people, let's say I have a meeting,
25:36
a church meeting, and I have people come and one person's like,
25:39
I don't think you need to pray in tongues. I don't like this prosperity message.
25:42
It jacks up the whole meeting.
25:44
You have to be in unity for the spirit of the living God to move in a powerful
25:48
way. I'm telling you from example.
25:51
So John 17, 21 says that they may all be one as the father in me.
25:57
Jesus prayed that we would be one. This means that unity is not a side issue.
26:00
It was on the heart of Jesus.
26:02
The enemy fights unity because Jesus prayed for it. Jesus said a divided kingdom can't stand.
26:08
Mark 3, 24, if a kingdom be divided against itself, the kingdom can't stand
26:12
and the house is divided. Division weakens.
26:16
I mean, it's like that in the natural, isn't it? Just think about it.
26:19
Think about a cement foundation for a building.
26:24
Okay, let's think about that. Just picture that in your head.
26:26
They lay the slab, it's called the slab. And the slab is one strong, solid piece, right?
26:31
So it creates a strong foundation. But what happens if there's cracks in the slab.
26:35
Now it's a weak foundation, right? And that's how it is with you and me.
26:39
If we are not in unity, it produces cracks.
26:43
And those cracks make the foundation weak. That's a good analogy. Does that help you?
26:49
The enemy works through confusion, strife, and discord. So you gotta be wise.
26:54
You know, the devil's like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour,
26:57
but you gotta outsmart him. You gotta outwit him.
26:59
You gotta know like, uh-oh, the devil's trying to make me get out of unity.
27:03
Uh-oh, Satan's trying to make me argue. Uh-oh, you know, you gotta watch it.
27:07
James 3.16 says, where there's envy and strife.
27:12
That's like fighting all the time. There is every evil work.
27:17
You know, the Bible says, a minister of the gospel has to keep the peace.
27:21
Well, that's hard to do sometimes.
27:23
But the Bible says where there's where there is envy and strife.
27:27
Envy is like, why can't I have that? I want what they have and strife.
27:30
I got to do it. Well, the Bible says when you're like that, then there's every
27:34
evil work. So whatever relationship you're in, I'm not talking about an abusive one.
27:40
I'm talking about your marriage or your friendship. Strive to have peace with them.
27:45
Unless you're like me and you're a preacher and you have to correct them,
27:48
then you can't have peace if you got to correct them. You're going to have to correct people.
27:52
Yeah. Okay. The devil loves offense. He loves jealousy. He loves competition.
27:58
He loves gossip. He loves suspicion.
28:00
He loves people assuming the worst because strife opens the door to confusion.
28:04
Confusion opens the door to every evil work.
28:07
This is why if you do find a good preacher, you do find a good pastor.
28:11
This is why there's certain people always talking against them.
28:14
It happened to me. People tried to talk people out of my church against me, all the things.
28:20
Here's the verse that Stephanie was talking about, Proverbs 6.16.
28:23
These six things the Lord hates. Seven are an abomination. Do you want to be
28:28
an abomination to God? I know I don't.
28:32
Do you? Would you like to be an abomination to the Lord? Here we go.
28:37
God hates discord because discord breaks what unity builds. Discord breaks trust,
28:43
poisons hearts, divides families, weakens churches.
28:46
Again, unity doesn't mean agreement with sin. It means agreement with God. We don't ignore truth.
28:52
Ephesians 4.3, endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit and the bond of peace.
28:58
Unity of spirit, not pride, control, compromise, or people-pleasing.
29:03
Okay. Matthew 18, 19. Again, I say if two of you agree is touching anything on earth. Okay.
29:11
I don't believe in the name it, claim it. You know, you just can't say what
29:16
you want and get what you want.
29:18
That is not what God said.
29:21
I would never rip up the Bible, but some of y'all are hanging with people that
29:25
ripped out pages of their Bible.
29:27
Matthew 18, 19. Again, I say, if two of you agree on earth is touching anything
29:32
they ask, it will be done for them by the Father.
29:36
That was robbed of an opportunity. That needs to come back to me.
29:39
For where two or three are gathered in my name, I'm in the midst.
29:42
Agreement brings heaven into the matter.
29:46
When two agree, something happens. This is why the devil attacks.
29:49
He wants husbands and wives divided, churches divided, Believers suspicious. Makes sense.
29:56
Burn it up up here. Y'all, I probably need to turn the air on.
29:58
Even wrong unity has power.
30:03
And that's what I saw on you. Genesis 11, 6. And the Lord said,
30:05
behold, the people are one and nothing will be restrained what they imagine to do.
30:10
They were doing what he didn't want them to do, but because they were in one accord.
30:13
This is why the Democratic Party can do so much because they're evil,
30:17
but they all agree. So they can get a lot accomplished.
30:20
Republicans are just big morons. They can't do anything.
30:24
If unity can accomplish something, how much more can holy unity?
30:28
Amen, we're gonna be holy. All right, the upper room teaches us that unity prepares
30:32
the room for fire. They were in one accord, the Holy Ghost fell,
30:35
the singers were one, the church prayed, the people were one.
30:38
So we have to guard unity and fight for it. We have to move quickly and reject offense.
30:43
All right, here's a couple quick verses on unity. Acts 1.14,
30:47
they all continued with one accord. Now, I'm going fast, you won't be able to
30:50
catch these, but if you're gonna watch it, rewatch it on YouTube,
30:53
hit the transcript. You can see the Bible verses and write them down.
30:56
Acts 2.1. They're with one accord. Acts 4.24. They lifted up their voice to
31:00
God. Acts 4.32. The multitude believed they were with one heart.
31:04
Romans 15.5 and 6. That you may be one mind and glorify God.
31:08
Philippians 1.27. Stand fast in the spirit.
31:12
One mind striving together. Philippians 2.2. Be like-minded, having the same love.
31:16
Unity of the spirit. Ephesians 4.3. Endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit.
31:20
Ephesians 4.4, there is one body and one spirit. 1 Corinthians 12, many members, one body.
31:27
Colossians 3.14, charity and love, but the bond of peace. Okay.
31:31
The Bible all throughout warns against all.
31:35
So why am I telling you this? Because then when I realized in my church,
31:40
these people were gone, like they're gone.
31:43
I'm going to believe other people like them won't come back.
31:47
But they're gone. And guess what happened? It's a big difference in there. You can feel it.
31:53
You could feel the difference. When we do worship, you all, it's completely
31:56
different. Like the other day after service or when service was ending,
32:00
and I was getting ready to play, and my worship leader, Melissa,
32:04
she started just playing.
32:05
Turn your eyes upon.
32:22
Of his mercy and grace. Well, she was playing that. I literally felt like I
32:26
was in a Benny Hinn meeting.
32:28
It was so good, y'all. I was like, you could just feel it. I was like, man, that's anointed.
32:32
And then I realized, wait a minute, there's nobody pulling the wrong direction.
32:37
Y'all need to be pulling in the right in the same direction.
32:40
And I'm just telling you from personal experience, you can feel like.
32:46
And what is that? It's a devil in there. It's a devil trying to stop.
32:50
It's not just somebody that doesn't understand.
32:53
It's somebody openly rebelling against God.
32:56
It is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's somebody pretending to be interested
33:01
in God, but has no interest in God.
33:04
And they are there to disrupt, to hurt, and to cause a problem.
33:09
So, you know, you can't really just randomly kick people out of church and say,
33:12
I don't like you. I don't like your spirit.
33:14
But if you continue in the unity of the spirit, people that want to create disunity
33:18
will leave. And that's what I've experienced.
33:20
People that want to cause trouble, people that want to talk about me all the
33:24
time, people that want to do bad stuff, people that want to resist God,
33:27
they can't hang in my church. They leave.
33:29
They can't hang. They cannot do it. They leave.
33:33
So what does this mean for you? It means in every area of your life, seek unity.
33:39
If you get an argument with your spouse, try quickly to get out of it.
33:43
I didn't used to be like that. I'd go toe-to-toe with Chad.
33:47
Now I try to bring unity. It's not always easy, but I do.
33:50
You know, keep unity with your friends. It's okay to correct your friend,
33:54
but try to correct them in love.
33:56
Don't just slap them across the head. You don't like being slapped across the
33:59
head. I don't like being slapped across the head.
34:01
Try to be merciful with people. I've not always been the best at that,
34:04
but God's talking to me and I'm trying to get better.
34:06
I know sometimes people just need to be slapped in the head,
34:08
but try to be merciful with people.
34:12
Kind, be merciful, be loving. Don't argue with people.
34:16
Like I do that a lot on here, but I didn't do it today. You notice I had many
34:20
opportunities. I just didn't take any of them.
34:22
So arguments produce strife. So guard yourself against that.
34:27
And I don't know. I'm just telling you, when you do that, when you guard yourself
34:31
against arguing, bitterness, envy, and strife, you'll just have an open floodgate.
34:37
You'll have an open door.
34:39
You'll have a way of escape. It'll just be so powerful. You'll do great things
34:43
for the kingdom of God. Does this make sense?
34:45
I hope so. All right. I'm actually going to use this whole thing for my Godly
34:48
Hacks podcast. That's what I'm going to do because that's just what I'm going
34:51
to do. It's going to be a long Godly Hacks podcast, but they'll get over it.
34:55
Hopefully it helped you. If you are listening on the Godly Hacks podcast,
34:58
please follow, please review, please do something. Amen.
35:02
I love you all so very much. I'm going to pray over you that God,
35:04
that the spirit of unity will rest on you. I hope this was helpful to you, helpful to me.
35:09
I know you've noticed that sometimes I'm not on at night anymore.
35:14
I might still be, but I just, not that I'm exhausted and need a break from you,
35:18
but I just gotta think some things through.
35:21
So I know I'm terrible about my times. I'll get better, or maybe I won't.
35:25
I don't know, but just bear with me.
35:28
If this helped you, please, please kindly share it with somebody and believe
35:33
God with me that more people will see it. I did have a talk with Facebook and
35:36
supposedly everything's fine. That's what they said.
35:39
Doesn't seem fine to me, but they think so.
35:41
Very helpful. Good. I'm glad. All right. I love you. Father,
35:44
please bless everybody watching today.
35:47
May your mighty hand of faith and power be upon them.
35:51
May you do great and mighty works for them in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
35:57
I pray, God, that you would help them and bless them. If there's anyone watching,
36:00
you don't know Jesus, you just need to repent. Father, I'm sorry.
36:04
Jesus, forgive me. I believe you died on a cross for me. You were buried and
36:07
raised on the third day. Please come into my heart and be the Lord of my life.
36:10
If you said that, you're saved, you're rescued. Let me pray prosperity for you.
36:14
Father, may your mighty hand of blessing and prosperity, God,
36:17
may these people, may their debts be supernaturally removed.
36:21
May their hearts be wide open. May you do something great and wonderful.
36:25
If they've got discord in their marriage, in their family, Father,
36:28
I plead the blood of Jesus over them, the oil, the anointing oil of God.
36:33
Drop on that marriage and just bring peace that passes understanding.
36:36
Drop on that relationship with the teen child. Bring peace that passes understanding.
36:40
Drop on the people of God and bring peace that passes understanding.
36:45
May your mighty hand of faith and power be upon them in the name of Jesus.
36:51
May they do something great and may great things come to them.
36:55
I love y'all so much. I was going to do my preaching, Lisa, but I'm not going to do that today.
37:00
I love you guys. I'll see you. Let me know if this was helpful.
37:04
Please share it. Tag a few people when I get offline on Facebook.
37:07
I love you guys. I'll see you on the next one.
