I want us, if we can, to turn to 2 Corinthians
0:03
chapter 10, and we're going to start in verse
0:07
1. We're going to read down through verse 6.
0:09
And this verse, I'm preaching this verse today
0:14
because this verse came as a word from the Lord.
0:19
Actually, Kay felt this scripture impressed on
0:24
her about 10 or 12 days ago. And released it
0:29
into our seniors group. Our seniors meet for
0:32
prayer every Wednesday at 1 p .m. And if you'd
0:36
like details on that, I'd be happy to give that
0:38
to you. And then she released it. I had her release
0:42
that same word on our Wednesday night prayer
0:46
meeting. And I have felt like it is a scripture
0:51
for our church for this time. And it might be
0:56
that this morning God wants to just apply it
1:00
to your situation and your life right where you
1:04
are. And so let's read the word of the Lord,
1:08
2 Corinthians 10, 1 through 6. Now I, Paul, myself,
1:15
am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness
1:19
of Christ. who in presence am lowly among you,
1:25
but being absent am bold toward you. But I beg
1:30
you that when I am present, I may not be bold
1:34
with that confidence by which I intend to be
1:38
bold against some who think of us as if we walked
1:42
according to the flesh. For though we walk in
1:46
the flesh, We do not war according to the flesh,
1:51
for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,
1:55
but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
2:01
casting down arguments and every high thing that
2:06
exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing
2:10
every thought into captivity to the obedience
2:15
of Christ. and being ready to punish all disobedience
2:20
when your obedience is fulfilled. Lord, we thank
2:27
you for your word. Your word changes us. Your
2:34
word, when it takes root in our hearts, produces
2:38
the effect in us that you have desired in our
2:43
lives from the beginning. God, the people have
2:49
come here today to worship you. They haven't
2:53
come to hear the voice of a man. God, they've
2:59
come to honor your word. And so, Lord, as we
3:04
honor your word this morning, I pray that it
3:09
will take root in our hearts. In Jesus' mighty
3:15
name. Amen. Amen. Now this passage of Scripture,
3:23
in context, is about Paul really defending himself
3:34
against some people in the Corinthian church
3:38
that had come against him. The majority of the
3:43
church was with Paul and recognized him as an
3:46
apostle. But if you skip down to verse 10, you
3:50
see that some in the church were accusing Paul.
3:54
In fact, they said in verse 10, you read it,
3:57
for his letters, they say, are weighty and powerful,
4:01
but his bodily presence is weak and his speech
4:06
contemptible. And so they were accusing Paul
4:10
of not being the real deal. Of hiding behind
4:16
Facebook. But not being genuine in person. He
4:24
could write well. But when he's here, he's weak.
4:30
And he's not the real deal. Well, really what
4:34
they were doing by slandering Paul. was dividing
4:38
the church. That's what they were doing. Now,
4:42
no leader is perfect, and there are ways to deal
4:46
with issues and failures in the church, but slandering
4:50
people behind their back is not biblical. And
4:54
it only does the work of the enemy and divides.
4:59
And so in this context, Paul is saying, That's
5:04
where this quote comes from. Among Pentecostal
5:08
believers, this is an awesome verse. The weapons
5:11
of our warfare are not carnal, but they're mighty
5:13
in God. Well, Paul was saying, I have weapons
5:17
of spiritual warfare that go way beyond the flesh
5:22
and things that are normal in this world, and
5:26
we will see the stronghold of this divisive spirit.
5:31
torn down in Jesus' name. And the things that
5:36
come against the church, Ephesians 6 tells us,
5:39
we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
5:43
powers and principalities and rulers of this
5:46
dark world. How many of you know that there is
5:49
an enemy in Lincoln, Illinois that hates the
5:52
church? And that's the church at large preaching
5:56
the gospel, but he also hates faith church and
6:00
is trying to destroy this church from the inside
6:04
out so that it is of no effect in our community.
6:08
But Paul was saying, I have weapons of our warfare
6:13
that are not carnal, but they are mighty in God.
6:16
And because they're mighty in God, I can pull
6:19
down the strongholds that are trying to divide
6:22
the church. Isn't that good? And so, it is important
6:29
that we realize that God has equipped us with
6:35
tools to promote unity in the church. Now, Paul
6:42
said it was the weapons of our warfare. Everybody
6:47
say our. He didn't say this is the weapon of
6:52
my warfare. I am the only one in this. No, he
6:57
said these are weapons of our warfare. We are
7:02
in this together. And so the first thing that
7:07
I believe that God wants to highlight is that
7:10
I think it's an awesome thing to pray for the
7:14
unity of the church. In fact, Jesus, before he
7:17
went to the cross, he prayed that. He said, I
7:20
pray that they may be one, Father, as we are
7:24
one. And the unity on the house is a beautiful
7:29
thing. I'm not preaching this today because I
7:31
sense any disunity. I'm preaching this today
7:34
because I know the wiles and the schemes of the
7:37
enemy that he would try to create disunity. Do
7:41
you know that the enemy does this in homes? He
7:44
does this in marriages. He does this in relationships
7:50
and friendships, trying to steal, kill, and destroy.
7:54
That's what the devil came. John 10 .10 says
7:57
that the thief comes to steal and kill and destroy.
8:02
And that's the schemes of the enemy. He wants
8:05
to destroy your marriage. He wants to destroy
8:08
your household. He wants to destroy the relationship
8:11
you have with your children. Jesus came, the
8:17
last part of John 10 .10, that we might have
8:20
life and life more abundantly. Amen? And so this
8:25
morning, we speak life into every marriage that's
8:28
represented in this room right now in the name
8:32
of Jesus. Hallelujah. In fact, I wasn't planning
8:35
on this. This isn't in my notes, but I want to
8:38
pray for every marriage represented in this church
8:41
right now in Jesus' name. If your spouse is with
8:44
you, Just grab them by the hand in Jesus' name.
8:48
Father, I just thank you. I thank you for the
8:51
blessing on marriages in this room right now.
8:54
And we recognize, God, that the enemy has a scheme
8:57
and a plan to destroy and break up marriages.
9:01
God, I pray in Jesus' name. I pray in Jesus'
9:06
name the favor and the blessing of God on marriages
9:11
in this house right now. the name of the Lord.
9:15
We thank you, Father, for the unity of the Spirit.
9:19
We thank you for the unity in husbands and wives
9:23
in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Praise the
9:27
Lord. Praise the Lord. Somebody give praise to
9:30
God right now. He preserves. He unites. He causes
9:36
husbands and wives to grow together in Jesus'
9:39
name. Cammie told the story of what happened
9:42
to our vehicle last week. As I was driving down
9:46
the road and a tire came flying at me and I hit
9:53
that tire at about, I braked some, I hit it probably
9:56
at 60 miles an hour and that tire that was rolling
10:00
did not go flat. It catapulted our vehicle up
10:04
into the air and then the trailer behind us up
10:07
into the air and then after we had gone completely
10:10
over the tire, that tire continued to roll down
10:13
the road and then into the median. It was a pretty
10:17
incredible thing. I'd never experienced anything
10:20
like that in my life. I'm thanking God for his
10:23
protection, amen? Thanking God for his protection.
10:27
But when I had the vehicle examined, because
10:30
after that, what happened is there was no shimmy
10:34
in it before. It drove smooth and perfect. But
10:37
after it hit that tire, when I got it up to about
10:40
50 miles an hour, the vehicle just started shaking.
10:45
And when I took it to the collision place, the
10:47
collision guy told me, in fact, before he even
10:52
elevated it, he said, oh, I see why it's shimmying.
10:55
It's because the frame has been knocked out of
10:59
alignment and the right half is fighting against
11:04
the left half. And I thought, wow. And it hit
11:10
me as I was preparing for this message. That's
11:14
what was happening in the Corinthian church.
11:18
The right half was fighting against the left
11:21
half. And that can happen in a marriage, in a
11:26
home, and in a relationship. It can happen in
11:29
a nation. But when God shows up, when the church
11:35
shows up with the weapons of our warfare that
11:38
God has provided, he puts things back in alignment
11:42
so that we can drive down the road and get where
11:47
we need to go. He wants to keep the church in
11:52
unity. That's a great thing to pray. Add that
11:54
to your prayer list every day. God, give great
11:57
unity to the church. Doesn't mean we always agree
11:59
about everything, but we deal with things well,
12:02
and we walk together in love. Amen? And we move
12:07
forward in Jesus' name. Secondly, what I want
12:13
to say from this passage is the weapons of our
12:16
warfare are not carnal. Everybody say carnal.
12:21
Now carnal, carnality is not the same thing as
12:27
evil. In fact, carnality is not the same thing
12:31
as sinful. Carnal simply means of this world.
12:38
Okay? So when I'm operating carnally, I am just
12:47
using, the tools I have at my disposal on my
12:52
own. My own thinking. My own solutions. When
13:02
you are not a believer and you don't have access
13:05
to God, this is the only mode that you have to
13:10
operate in. Carnal. It's of the flesh, not in
13:16
the sense of sinful flesh, but just of this world.
13:23
Does that make sense? That's what carnality is.
13:29
Sourcing. So, I know one thing from all of my
13:33
wife's study on food. That sourcing matters.
13:38
Where you get things matter. Not all meat is
13:46
created equal. Is that right? So there are places
13:54
that if I report to her that I ate at, she is
14:00
immediately thinking of the source of that food
14:05
and what that is potentially doing in my body.
14:13
She doesn't like any chemicals injected into
14:16
meat. Sourcing matters. Where you get things
14:22
from. She liked it that Steak and Shake just
14:26
announced that all their meat comes from grass
14:29
-fed beef. I like that too. I have permission
14:34
now. Sourcing matters. Where you get something
14:47
matters. And this whole verse, the weapons of
14:57
our warfare are not carnal. It means their source
15:04
is not of this world. Their source does not come
15:09
from humanity. The source of these weapons is
15:14
not your pastor. The source of these weapons
15:18
is not how well we understand things in our own
15:23
mind. The source of the weapons of our warfare,
15:29
we're going to get to what they are in a moment.
15:32
The first thing that Paul says here is that the
15:35
source of these weapons does not come from man,
15:39
but from God. They are sourced in heaven. And
15:46
you as a believer, my friend, you have the opportunity
15:50
to get resources that are beyond what you can
15:55
see with your eyes. You have the ability to get
15:58
resources that are beyond what you can buy at
16:02
a store or are tangible with your hands. You
16:07
have access to the heavens. Hallelujah. And that's
16:11
good news. Every son and daughter, you have access
16:15
to sourcing in heaven. Glory to God. Glory to
16:20
God. You know what carnality produces? People
16:23
think that these are in the Bible. God helps
16:28
those who help themselves. Did you know that
16:32
that is not a verse in the Bible? That comes
16:37
from carnality. That comes from thinking, human
16:41
thinking. God helps those who die to self and
16:48
look to him and trust him. Amen? Here's one that
16:57
Shakespeare wrote that people think is in the
17:01
Bible. To thine own self be true. Have you ever
17:07
heard that? Have you ever read a form of that
17:10
on Facebook? I've just got to discover myself
17:14
and be true to myself. And if you love somebody,
17:18
you know, and they're going through a decision
17:20
process and you tell them, just be true to yourself.
17:25
That is not scriptural. It is not in the Bible.
17:31
And so that comes from human carnality. That's
17:36
where that comes from. Did you know who said
17:40
this first? God hates sin but loves the sinner.
17:46
Do you know who said that first? Gandhi. That
17:53
is a statement that comes from Hinduism. That's
17:58
interesting, isn't it? Some of those elements,
18:03
how many of you know that God loves sinners?
18:06
And God hates sin. But did you know that it's
18:11
this kind of phraseology that makes people think
18:14
that, well, God's going to forgive me no matter
18:17
what I do. It is not the truth. There are people
18:22
on judgment day that God is going to assign to
18:26
darkness and utter hell. Carnality in the church.
18:38
As long as we operate in carnality, all's we
18:41
have is the best that man can come up with. But
18:46
when we tap into the resources of heaven, then
18:51
we rise way above. Why is that? Because God said,
18:56
your thoughts are not my thoughts, nor mine yours.
19:00
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so
19:04
are my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Now
19:08
the best ideas of man, do they compare with God?
19:16
I want the resources of heaven. I want what God
19:21
has for me. Hallelujah. I want to tap into his
19:26
thinking. I want to tap into his solutions. I
19:30
want to tap into what he has to say. Glory to
19:33
God. When we operate in carnality, then we limit
19:38
ourselves to our own solutions. We stay safe
19:42
in our Christianity. We're predictable. We're
19:45
sensible. But we are not following the Holy Spirit.
19:51
The weapons of God are not sourced in human reasoning.
19:56
They come from heaven. I want to give you, if
20:03
I can, find this really quick. I want to give
20:06
you something that I experienced through this
20:13
vehicle situation. One of my Facebook friends
20:24
recently posted this. Like a good neighbor, State
20:36
Farm is deceptive, greedy, and truly only cares
20:39
about making shareholders money. Well, you can
20:51
imagine the comments. But that has not been true
20:59
in my case. This was posted two weeks ago. The
21:06
accident. And here was my reply. State Farm has
21:16
paid me lots of money through the years. A new
21:21
roof that got me out of debt. They cleaned up
21:27
my yard after a tornado. Two different deer that
21:33
they... rewarded me with accidents that I did
21:38
not cause, that they have taken care of me. I
21:42
have never had any issues with State Farm at
21:44
all. I wrote that two weeks ago, and I hit this
21:54
tire. And I turned to claim in, and as we were
22:01
driving home, I said to Cammie, I really feel
22:06
like the Lord's going to take care of us. I really
22:11
feel like God's going to take care of us. And
22:16
so I filed a claim. And I got the word back.
22:29
That because the tire was on the ground and not
22:32
in the air, your claim is denied. And so I still
22:43
felt the peace of the Lord, but then when I got
22:46
the letter from State Farm, it said, we have
22:50
determined that you have caused this accident.
22:57
That kind of shook me a little bit. And so I
23:01
wrote an appeal. And I said, whether you cover
23:08
the accident or not, you have accused me of causing
23:13
this accident. And I am appealing. And then I
23:18
finished the letter. Forgot about it. Last Wednesday,
23:24
right before I went to the seniors meeting, I
23:27
got a call from a young man at State Farm. And
23:32
he said, you've appealed, and I'm the one that
23:34
decides whether your appeal goes through or not.
23:38
Tell me everything that happened. And I told
23:41
him everything that happened exactly like it
23:44
did. And he said, I'm going to call you back
23:47
in five minutes with my decision. And I said,
23:50
well, you better hurry because I got a seniors
23:52
meeting that starts in seven minutes. He called
23:56
me back and he said, sir, I have found, I have
24:02
examined your policy. I have found in your policy
24:06
that your vehicle is covered if a missile hits
24:08
your vehicle. He said, I don't know if a tire
24:13
is a missile or not, but we are going to cover
24:16
your vehicle. As if this tire was a missile.
24:22
And I want to say praise God for that. I want
24:27
to say praise God for that. What does the Word
24:30
of God say? Over and over and over again, the
24:36
Word of God says, bless and do not curse. Bless.
24:47
and do not curse. I had about five verses pulled
24:51
up here that teach us to bless and do not curse.
24:57
See, when all of this happened, it was later
24:59
on, I was praying and I felt the Lord whisper
25:03
to me that defense that I gave of State Farm.
25:09
And you see, we're used to letting things fly
25:12
out of our mouth, whatever we want to say. But
25:18
that's not blessing. That is cursing. You want
25:24
God to do great things through your life? You've
25:28
got to use the weapons of our warfare that are
25:31
not carnal, but are mighty in God. Your mouth
25:36
is one of those weapons. One of the things that
25:39
can work against you as a believer is that you're
25:42
cursing everything. You're cursing everything
25:45
all the time. You're more familiar with everything
25:48
that's wrong. What's wrong with this? What's
25:51
wrong with that? And really what it is is it's
25:55
a complaining, grumbling spirit. But if we will
25:59
use our mouth to bless instead of curse, God
26:04
will open up doors. It will break down strongholds.
26:09
It will move the hand of God in a situation.
26:16
Because we bless. Because we do not curse. It
26:20
got awful quiet in here. It got really quiet
26:24
in here. Because we bless. God has called us
26:30
to be a people in the earth. We are the salt
26:33
of the earth. But your speech is no different
26:38
than the people in your workplace. How are you
26:41
going to be the salt of the earth? If you look
26:45
the same as the people, if you walk the same,
26:48
and if you talk the same, God will not use you
26:51
in that. That's carnality. It's carnality. God
26:58
is calling you to rise above carnality so that
27:05
you can operate in the things of the Spirit.
27:08
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I feel the presence of
27:12
the Lord in this this morning. We live in the
27:17
world, but we do not war according to the world.
27:23
The weapons of our warfare, they are not carnal,
27:28
but they are mighty in God. Hallelujah. God loves
27:36
you enough that he's given you access to heavenly
27:40
sourcing. These weapons that we wage war with,
27:45
they are sourced in heaven, and they have heavenly
27:51
results. Jesus told us to pray, Lord, let your
27:55
will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Hallelujah.
28:01
That's Matthew 6 .10. The weapons of our warfare.
28:06
What are these weapons? Well, Paul was referring
28:10
specifically to the authority that he has in
28:14
God. The authority that he had in his calling
28:18
as an apostle. Everybody say the word authority.
28:24
Now, there is positional authority that you do
28:28
not have. This past week, my wife was elected
28:34
as the assistant presbyter of our section. I
28:37
passed the baton to her. I was the assistant.
28:39
Now she's the assistant. Okay, so that is a position
28:44
of authority in the section. It is positional
28:49
authority. Paul had positional authority as an
28:53
apostle. And so you have been given... If you're
28:58
a mom or a dad, you have positional authority
29:01
in your family, right? You have positional authority.
29:07
If you are a business owner, you have positional
29:12
authority, okay? So some of you are thinking
29:16
about different roles in your life where God
29:19
has given you authority. Paul was defending his
29:23
authority as an apostle. But there is also an
29:27
authority that comes as a believer that is not
29:32
positional authority. It is spiritual kingdom
29:35
authority that you have as a child of God. Hallelujah.
29:42
You have authority that has been given to you
29:45
as a child of the living God. Let me read one
29:50
of them to you. Matthew 28, 19. the end of the
30:12
age. I want to read Mark's version of that. Let
30:16
me look that up in Mark chapter 16 because it
30:20
really highlights our authority that we've been
30:23
given in Christ even greater. He says this, Go
30:28
into all the world, this is verse 15, and preach
30:32
the gospel to every creature. He who believes
30:35
and is baptized will be saved, but he who does
30:38
not believe will be condemned. And these signs
30:41
will follow those who believe. In my name they
30:45
will cast out demons. They will speak with new
30:47
tongues. They will take up deadly servants. If
30:50
they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt
30:53
them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they
30:56
will recover. Hallelujah. Now this is your authority
31:03
that God has given to you as a believer. Amen?
31:09
It's a weapon of your warfare. I feel like this
31:14
morning that we need to open up our hearts and
31:18
receive the authority that God has given to us.
31:23
Look at your neighbor and say, you have authority.
31:28
Now look at your neighbor and say it one more
31:30
time like you really mean it. You have authority.
31:38
You have authority. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. When
31:44
people come to me and they say, Pastor, I need
31:52
healing. And I come to them and say, Oh, I just
31:58
want you to know I understand what you're going
32:01
through. I just want you to know that, you know,
32:07
you're going to get through this. You know what
32:11
I'm doing is I'm trying to empathize with them.
32:15
And some people might appreciate that, but they
32:18
didn't come to me for empathy. They came to me
32:23
to find healing in Jesus' name. And so if I only
32:31
console and if I only offer empathy and I never
32:39
step into authority, I forfeit the weapons of
32:45
our warfare. In the name of being a friend and
32:51
somebody people like, but I'm not operating in
32:55
authority. God has given us authority to operate
33:01
in. Oh, this is a good word, friends. Matthew
33:05
chapter 10. Let's go there. Matthew chapter 10.
33:09
We're talking about the weapons of our warfare.
33:11
And this is Jesus. And let's read verse 1. And
33:20
when he had called his 12 disciples to him, he
33:24
gave them power over unclean spirits to cast
33:27
them out and to heal all kinds of sickness and
33:30
all kinds of disease. And then you skip down
33:34
to, he's telling them to go out. In verse 8,
33:37
he just simply says, heal the sick, cleanse the
33:40
lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely
33:43
you have received, freely give. If a church would
33:49
awaken with authority, we would no longer need
33:53
advertising. You see, advertising is in the carnal
34:01
realm. It doesn't mean it's not effective. It
34:04
doesn't mean that we can't use it. God called
34:10
them to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise
34:14
the dead, cast out demons, freely you have received,
34:16
freely give. What if the church awakens to its
34:19
authority in the earth? What if the church starts
34:24
using the weapons of our warfare that are not
34:29
carnal but are mighty in God for the tearing
34:32
down of strongholds? What if parents start using
34:37
their authority in their homes? Not in an abusive
34:41
way, but in a real genuine Christian way. When
34:46
it comes to what they allow into their house.
34:51
Are you just going to keep tolerating that sickness
34:54
that just keeps coming and coming and coming
34:56
and coming? Are you going to rise up in the authority
34:59
that you have, Father? Mother? Jesus has given
35:06
us authority, a weapon of our warfare. I'm going
35:12
to stop right here. There are lots of other weapons
35:15
of our warfare. But I'm going to stop right here
35:19
because some of you are in situations where you
35:31
need authority to come into your home. You need
35:35
authority to come into your body. You need authority.
35:41
You need the authority of God to be released
35:45
into your situation. Jesus did it with the 12
35:49
here. But then we just read Mark 16. He didn't
35:52
just do it with the 12. He did it with every
35:54
believer. He who believes. How many of you are
36:00
ready to operate on a higher plane? Many of you
36:07
are ready to tap in to your heavenly resource.
36:13
Rise up. Rise up. It wasn't just Paul. It was
36:22
every believer. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Heal
36:31
the sick. Cleanse the lepers. Raise the dead.
36:34
Cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely
36:38
give. Now later on, I might revisit this and
36:42
talk about more weapons of our warfare. But God
36:47
has equipped you, son. God has equipped you,
36:52
daughter. He has equipped you from heaven to
37:03
be an overcomer. To be an overcomer. So we're
37:10
going to stop right there. And I just want to
37:14
ask the question this morning. How many of you
37:20
in your life, in the lives of your friends, in
37:25
the lives of the people that you know, need the
37:29
God of victory to move and do something powerful?
37:33
Come on. That's what we're believing for this
37:36
morning. And Paul's word is that you have weapons
37:45
of warfare that are not carnal but mighty in
37:50
God. There are some things that God will do,
37:54
but he's not going to do them until you operate
37:58
in the authority that God has given you. I would
38:05
say, There's been lots of times where I have
38:09
missed it. Where I have not risen up to the occasion.
38:17
And we repent of that in Jesus' name. But God
38:22
lifts us up and calls us up to a new place. And
38:27
says, come on. Come on. Step in. Step into what
38:33
I have for you. Step into what I have for you.
38:37
Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. If you raised
38:41
your hand earlier, I want to ask you to just
38:46
stand up where you are. You raised your hand
38:52
earlier. You have a situation in your own family,
38:57
in your own life. You need the authority of heaven.
39:01
Hallelujah. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God.
39:07
Praise God. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Father.
39:14
We give you praise, Lord. Just right where you
39:19
are, just if you need to close your eyes to help
39:23
you, but just begin to talk to the Lord. Begin
39:27
to say, God, don't let this verse just stay on
39:30
a page, but let it be lived out in my life in
39:34
Jesus' name. Have a conversation with the Lord
39:39
right now in Jesus' name. Thank you, Father.
39:44
Lord, we just ask you that your presence, God,
39:49
will minister in Jesus' name. When you came to
39:53
Gideon and you said, greetings, mighty warrior,
39:58
He didn't feel like a warrior. There's people
40:02
in this room that, like Gideon, don't feel like
40:04
a warrior. But you are calling them to a higher
40:08
place in you. In Jesus' name. Thank you, Father.
40:17
Thank you, Father. Glory to God. We look to you
40:24
right now. We look to you now, Lord Jesus. Hallelujah.
40:34
We embrace the weapon of authority, not in an
40:41
arrogant way, but humbly, genuinely, saying,
40:52
God, thank you for the authority that you've
40:54
given to us. In the name of Jesus, we receive
41:00
that assignment and that calling. In just a moment,
41:09
we're going to use this weapon of authority and
41:12
we're going to speak to this mountain to be moved
41:15
in Jesus' name. We're going to speak for this
41:19
sickness to be healed in Jesus' name. We're going
41:24
to use the weapon of authority in Jesus' name.
41:30
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you,
41:37
Father. Thank you, Father. We give you praise.
41:43
We are not helpless and left alone. You've given
41:48
us weapons and tools to fight with. In Jesus'
41:55
name. God, I pray that Holy Spirit grit will
41:59
rise up in people right now. I pray that faith
42:02
will rise up in people right now in Jesus' name.
42:06
And I want to ask God that as they speak to this
42:09
mountain that they're standing up facing, that
42:12
speak to this giant like David did. David tapped
42:16
into heavenly resources when he spoke to Goliath.
42:20
I thank you for that, God. I thank You for that,
42:24
God. We tap in right now. And we speak to this
42:29
giant with the authority that You've given to
42:33
us. In Jesus' name.
