  Hey, this is Endyo, the pastor of Genation Church, and this is
• 0:04
  our podcast. Thanks for tuning in. I hope that this message encourages and
• 0:08
  inspires you in your what We've got and your journey of faith. Enjoyed the
• 0:12
  message, God bless anyway, It's great to be here. So look,
• 0:18
  I just would love to share my part of my testimony of the last few
• 0:21
  years. As I said, it's my first tour back after COVID. We've
• 0:25
  just done Manila for a week, and then we came to Singapore for a
• 0:30
  week, and now we're in Malaysia, which I think is the best.
• 0:33
  So good. Well, it's just great to be here. So I'd love
• 0:35
  to share my testimony with you about the last few years and how I got
• 0:39
  to be standing here before you guys. So the first thing I'd love to
• 0:42
  do is I'm about to explain a whole bunch of stuff. But during COVID,
• 0:47
  you know, everything shut down and for me, I lost, you
• 0:51
  know, pretty much everything. I had a thriving music production business, a
• 0:55
  media company, I had a studio. I was traveling around the world six
• 1:00
  months a year, going all over the world, leading worship, preaching,
• 1:03
  praying for people, and you know, as John Coo would know. Daryl
• 1:10
  Wong, my booking agent who does all of Asia. When COVID hit,
• 1:14
  he wrote me one text message and the text message said, Luke, all
• 1:21
  your tours are canceled. And there was ten cities booked all through twenty twenty
• 1:25
  and each one of them all just disappeared. And then all the churches and
• 1:29
  all the ministries and all the artists started contacting me and saying, you know,
• 1:34
  we've had to cancel our album, We've had to cancel I'm a music
• 1:37
  producer for a job. If you didn't know, that's why I'm talking about
• 1:40
  all this. You know, Luke, we have to cancel our album,
• 1:42
  we have to cancel our single, we have to cancel our project. We've
• 1:47
  canceled our music video and our live recording. And it just kept coming and
• 1:51
  coming and coming and coming. So I'm going to explain more about that,
• 1:55
  but firstly, what I wanted to do is share with you during that time,
• 1:57
  I wrote a new song in the Light. It's a song about going
• 2:01
  from darkness to light, and honestly was the hardest song that I've ever written
• 2:06
  in my life. And there was so much opposition to writing this song and
• 2:08
  releasing this song. I'm here, I've been. I feel like God has
• 2:13
  sent me over to Asia and to you guys to just share with you what
• 2:16
  I've been through. And I know this can really help you. God's gonna
• 2:20
  really touch and set a lot of people's lives free tonight when we pray at
• 2:23
  the end. But look, I just want to start by saying, and
• 2:27
  I mentioned it before that you know, before COVID, I was thriving.
• 2:30
  I was living the dream. People were patting me on the back, like,
• 2:32
  man, you've created your own band and you're going all over the world
• 2:37
  and all this is going amazing. And what happened, like I said,
• 2:43
  is COVID hit. And I got that text message from Darryl saying the booking
• 2:47
  agents saying all your tours are canceled. And at first I was like,
• 2:52
  what do I do? What am I going to do? And I ended
• 2:54
  up basically doing nothing. There was just nothing happening. I was just sitting
• 2:58
  on the couch watching TV, ordering like grab food and just like just sitting
• 3:04
  there doing nothing. I was feeling sorry for myself. But as time went
• 3:07
  on, something started to creep up in my heart and it was like I
• 3:12
  would get stabbing chest pains and panic attacks and breathing problems, and like I
• 3:17
  was suffocating and just really bad anxiety started to hit me and I didn't know
• 3:23
  what to do, and I was having a panic attacks and freaking out basically,
• 3:28
  and I'd be in meetings and I'd have to like go out and try
• 3:30
  and catch my breath, and I'd be walking up the stairs to have meetings,
• 3:35
  and then I just couldn't breathe. I felt like I was choking,
• 3:38
  and I was like, God, what is wrong with me? What is
• 3:39
  wrong with me? So I ended up going to the doctor, and the
• 3:43
  doctor basically said to me, you know, with everything going on, you've
• 3:46
  lost all this stuff. You've basically got anxiety disorder. So I'm like,
• 3:51
  great, now I've got this major problem and it just keeps getting worse.
• 3:54
  So anyway, the doctor said, look, the best thing to do is
• 3:57
  be go and see a Christian psychologist. Went to the Christian psychologist and within
• 4:01
  half an hour he said to me, Luke, this is a spiritual attack.
• 4:09
  He said, You're under attack by the enemy. He's sent this anxiety
• 4:13
  and we're going to find out what it is and how to get rid of
• 4:15
  it. So you're going to be free. Hey. So we prayed and
• 4:19
  we broke legal rights and generational curses, and we really went through systematically and
• 4:28
  broke the attack of the enemy off my life. Amen. And so what
• 4:31
  happened is is, week by week by week, I felt my heart going
• 4:34
  back to normal. I felt all the stress and the tension and distress all
• 4:39
  leaving my body, and it was amazing. And so I just want to
• 4:43
  tell you tonight that and I've got more stories after this. But whatever you've
• 4:47
  been through, whether it's anxiety, whether it's stress, whether it's depression,
• 4:53
  if you've been feeling suicidal because of COVID or because of anything else that's been
• 4:57
  happening in your world, if you're under financial pain or stress, or you
• 5:00
  know, poverty, all these things are attacking you. I'm letting you know
• 5:04
  that not everything is natural, Not everything comes from our silly mistakes. Some
• 5:10
  things are. There is a spirit, realm, and there is a devil,
• 5:14
  and he hates your guts, and he wants to kill, steal,
• 5:17
  and destroy from your life. And he knew that I had a destiny.
• 5:23
  He knew that I'd be standing here once COVID's over, helping people leading worship,
• 5:28
  you know, making music videos, helping one hundred artists this year with
• 5:32
  their music. He knew I was going to be doing all these things,
• 5:34
  so he's trying to hold me back. And let me say that some of
• 5:38
  you here in this room, he's trying to hold you back as well.
• 5:42
  He's sending attacks, he's sending people, he's sending he's sending setbacks, he's
• 5:46
  sending sicknesses some of you, sending mental illness to some of you. And
• 5:51
  I know in a room like this, there's going to be all kinds of
• 5:55
  things. And I want to say that, you know, medication is great,
• 5:58
  Like I didn't need to take an medication, and some people do,
• 6:01
  and and and my kids are on medication for other things. So medication is
• 6:04
  fine. But what I'm saying is that sometimes medication does not work. Sometimes
• 6:10
  the doctors do not know what to do, and only Doctor Jesus when he
• 6:14
  steps in, can set you free and deliver you and make you whole again
• 6:19
  after you've been attacked so heavily from the enemy. Is that Okay, Yeah,
• 6:24
  I'm pretty passionate about this stuff. So after after a few sessions and
• 6:29
  after you know, getting some prayer and fasting and breaking this thing. The
• 6:33
  anxiety left, amen, and Jesus set me free. And now I'm telling
• 6:39
  you right now, I'm I've got I've got nothing to worry about anymore.
• 6:43
  And it's not just because things are going well. It happened before. It
• 6:46
  happened before COVID got back, and Jesus came in and stepped in and set
• 6:48
  me free. And then when once that was over, my five year old
• 6:54
  daughter, Chloe, she started getting what's called night terrors. So basically she'd
• 6:58
  wake up in the night and she'd just be screaming in terror, and she'd
• 7:01
  be, you know, almost like she's being tortured. And we couldn't wake
• 7:05
  her up. We couldn't break her out of it. We couldn't. We
• 7:09
  couldn't snap her out of it. We're trying everything. I tried prayer,
• 7:13
  I tried not praying. I tried talking in a nice voice. I tried,
• 7:15
  I tried rebuking the devil, and to be honest, like some things
• 7:18
  like started talking back to me, which is pretty intense. It changes your
• 7:23
  theology once once you know, you start getting confronted with some serious stuff when
• 7:27
  your five year old daughter. So we were praying and we were praying.
• 7:30
  And basically what I did during this time is I got this anointing oil and
• 7:34
  I filled it up to the top. And I have used this anointing oil
• 7:39
  from the top all the way down to here during during the last three years
• 7:42
  on myself and on my family, and I've got the same. This is
• 7:45
  the same anointing all that I prayed for myself, prayed for my daughter,
• 7:48
  prayed for my family. I put it. I put it all over us,
• 7:51
  I put it all over the house, I put it everywhere. I
• 7:55
  know this could be heavy for some of you, but this is real.
• 7:58
  I'm telling you. This is a real and this is my real life.
• 8:00
  This is my testimony that I'm sharing. You know, the Bible says in
• 8:05
  Isaiah ten twenty seven in the New King James version, it shall come to
• 8:09
  pass in that day that this burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
• 8:16
  and this yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of
• 8:20
  the anointing oil. So when I couldn't breathe, and when I had that
• 8:24
  thing on me, it was felt like a yoke, like it was stuck,
• 8:28
  and it was like literally like a physical feeling like I couldn't breathe,
• 8:31
  And the anointing of Jesus Christ broke that yoke. Amen. And in the
• 8:37
  other version, in the New Living Translation, it says, in that day
• 8:41
  the Lord will end the bondage of his people. He will break the yoke
• 8:45
  of slavery and lift it from their shoulders. So some of you right now,
• 8:50
  you might be sick, you might be in financial lack, you might
• 8:54
  be in stress or anxiety or depression, whatever it is that you're going through,
• 8:58
  and you feel like you're in slavery to this thing. You feel like
• 9:01
  you feel like it's on your shoulders and you can't lift it off. Because
• 9:03
  I know I was like that, and it hit me from nowhere. And
• 9:07
  let's go to Matthew eleven twenty eight in the NLT. Come to me Jesus,
• 9:13
  all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I
• 9:18
  will give you rest. You know, we were up at one am,
• 9:22
  two am with our daughter not knowing what to do, and we needed rest.
• 9:28
  And I'm telling you right now, Jesus wants to come here and give
• 9:31
  some of you rest. It's been hard, it's been long, it's gone
• 9:35
  on forever, it's been years. And years and years, and God wants
• 9:37
  to come and give you rest from this. He wants to set you free.
• 9:43
  He wants to change your life from the inside out. You know one
• 9:46
  thing that we did through all of this period of time is we just played
• 9:50
  worship. The main song that I played over and over and over and repeat
• 9:56
  was called I Speak Jesus by Charity Gay And if you look at my Spotify
• 10:01
  wrapped this year, it's just like Charity Gale one thousand hours and you know,
• 10:09
  so we would put that on in my daughter's room and she just go
• 10:11
  back to sleep that as we speak Jesus over you, that God's going to
• 10:16
  do something and unlock something and heal something and break something. In Jesus's name,
• 10:22
  I'm just going to pray for anybody that needs prayer tonight. If this
• 10:24
  is resonated with you and you feel in your heart that that you're like Luke,
• 10:33
  I see what you've been through, I see where you've come out the
• 10:35
  other side. I see that Jesus has been good to you and has released
• 10:39
  you and set you and your family free. If you relate to that and
• 10:45
  you've got anxiety, depression, sickness, or infirmity in your life, for
• 10:50
  poverty is hitting you. If the enemy is coming and stealing and killing and
• 10:56
  destroying and you feel stuck and you can't move forward and there's things holding you
• 11:01
  back. Thank you, Jesus, Thank you, Jesus, Holy Spirit.
• 11:09
  We just invite you to come and move with your people. You love them
• 11:16
  so much and you don't want to see them struggling, hurt and broken anymore.
• 11:22
  Heal, deliver, and set people free. Tonight, I declare freedom
• 11:28
  in this place. I declare freedom in this place. I declare freedom in
• 11:33
  this place, total freedom and nothing less in Jesus' name. Okay, So
• 11:41
  what we're going to do right now is it going to repeat after me,
• 11:45
  and we're going to repent and renounce for anything known or unknown that might be
• 11:48
  holding us back or giving access to the enemy. So repeat after me,
• 11:52
  ready, Dear Jesus. I repent, and I renounce of all of my
• 12:01
  sin and all of my mistakes and anything that I know or don't know that
• 12:09
  I've done wrong. And now we're just going to renounce, which means separate
• 12:15
  from and disconnect from anything that the Holy Spirit's putting in our hearts. So
• 12:20
  so you know, you say, I renounce and then say anxiety, depression,
• 12:28
  poverty, and then anything else that you might be thinking right now.
• 12:33
  Any sicknesses, any diseases, Just say them right now, say them to
• 12:37
  Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. We renounce these things. God, we
• 12:43
  disconnect from them. God, we turn from them. God, we turn
• 12:46
  away from anxiety, We turn away from depression. God we turn away from
• 12:52
  poverty. God we change our hearts and our minds right now. And I
• 12:58
  pray God that you're anointing would fall right now in three two one that you're
• 13:03
  annointing for. Thanks for listening to this message. We hope you've been touched
