Transcript
- 0:15Speaker 1: Get your Bibles and go to the Gospel of St. Luke,
- 0:18Speaker 1: chapter number 4, verse 1 through 15. And there you
- 0:22Speaker 1: will find the assignment that the Holy Spirit has espoused
- 0:26Speaker 1: unto me to share with you today. It is good
- 0:31Speaker 1: to see you in the house of the Lord this morning.
- 0:35Speaker 1: We have no other agenda but to share with you
- 0:38Speaker 1: what God has shared with us and to watch you
- 0:41Speaker 1: grow thereby. Can you say amen? When you have it,
- 0:46Speaker 1: say amen. And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost
- 0:53Speaker 1: returned from Jordan. And Jesus being full of the Holy
- 0:58Speaker 1: Ghost returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit
- 1:03Speaker 1: into the wilderness. Being 40 days tempted of the devil
- 1:08Speaker 1: and in those days he did eat nothing. And when
- 1:13Speaker 1: they were ended, he afterward hungered And the devil said
- 1:18Speaker 1: to him, if thou be the son of God, command
- 1:21Speaker 1: the stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered
- 1:26Speaker 1: him and saying, it is written that man should not
- 1:29Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
- 1:33Speaker 1: And the devil taking him up into a high mountain
- 1:37Speaker 1: showed unto him all the kingdoms of this world in
- 1:42Speaker 1: a moment of time. And the devil said unto him,
- 1:45Speaker 1: all this power will I give thee, and the glory
- 1:50Speaker 1: of them, for that is delivered unto me, and to
- 1:54Speaker 1: whomsoever I will give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me,
- 1:59Speaker 1: all shall be thine. Jesus answered and said unto him,
- 2:05Speaker 1: Get thee behind me, Satan, for it is written, Thou
- 2:09Speaker 1: shalt not tip, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
- 2:13Speaker 1: and him only shalt thou serve. And he brought him
- 2:17Speaker 1: to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,
- 2:21Speaker 1: and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
- 2:24Speaker 1: cast thyself down from hence. For it is written, He
- 2:28Speaker 1: shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee.
- 2:33Speaker 1: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest
- 2:36Speaker 1: at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
- 2:41Speaker 1: And Jesus answering and said unto him, It is said
- 2:44Speaker 1: thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. And when
- 2:48Speaker 1: the devil had ended all the temptation. And when the
- 2:51Speaker 1: devil had ended all the temptation. And when the devil
- 2:55Speaker 1: had ended all the temptation. He departed from him for
- 3:00Speaker 1: a season. And Jesus returned in the power of the spirit.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Jesus returned in the power of the what? He returned
- 3:09Speaker 1: in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and there
- 3:13Speaker 1: went out a fame of him through all the region
- 3:17Speaker 1: round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified
- 3:23Speaker 1: of all. Can you say amen? Amen. Remain standing, I'm
- 3:27Speaker 1: going to pray with you. But for the next few moments,
- 3:30Speaker 1: I'm going to be talking about anointed for the altercations.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Anointed for the altercation. Yeah, that's it right there. That's
- 3:48Speaker 1: the whole thing in a nutshell. Anointed for the altercation.
- 3:56Speaker 1: And it sure is a fight. Say amen, somebody. Spirit
- 4:02Speaker 1: of the living God, fall afresh on us as we
- 4:04Speaker 1: open up. the Word of God, that we might hear
- 4:07Speaker 1: what the Spirit is saying to the church. I thank
- 4:10Speaker 1: you in advance for what you're going to do. I
- 4:13Speaker 1: believe you to do amazing things. Bind the devil hand
- 4:17Speaker 1: and foot. Take authority over him in this place and
- 4:21Speaker 1: around the world as we open up our hearts to
- 4:24Speaker 1: hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to
- 4:27Speaker 1: the church. I thank you in advance for what you're
- 4:30Speaker 1: going to do. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen. Amen.
- 4:36Speaker 1: You may be seated in the presence of God. Let's
- 4:40Speaker 1: go to work. It is to me one of my
- 4:47Speaker 1: favorite passages of scriptures, not because of the grimness of
- 4:53Speaker 1: the text, but because it tells me a lot about life.
- 4:59Speaker 1: The last time we heard from Jesus, he was 12
- 5:02Speaker 1: years old in the synagogue. From 12 to 30, he
- 5:08Speaker 1: lives a life in complete obscurity in the text. We
- 5:14Speaker 1: know nothing and can find nothing about the 18 years
- 5:18Speaker 1: that preceded him turning 30 years old. When he turned
- 5:23Speaker 1: 30 years old, everything began to change. It is interesting
- 5:28Speaker 1: to note that David was anointed to be king when
- 5:32Speaker 1: he was 30 years old. It is interesting to note
- 5:35Speaker 1: that you became eligible for the priesthood at the age
- 5:39Speaker 1: of 30. It is interesting to note at the age
- 5:42Speaker 1: of 30, Jesus hits the screen of the text again
- 5:47Speaker 1: in a most dynamic way. He goes from obscurity to celebration,
- 5:55Speaker 1: from isolation to to celebration. He goes from isolation, point one,
- 6:02Speaker 1: 18 years of nothingness, to celebration, where he is brought
- 6:06Speaker 1: down to the front by John the Baptist and is
- 6:10Speaker 1: celebrated of the Father in a moment of celebration. And
- 6:15Speaker 1: he goes from celebration ultimately to altercation in the wilderness.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Can you say amen? Amen. It is interesting to note
- 6:25Speaker 1: that in the process of celebration, one of the most
- 6:28Speaker 1: dynamic moments in my mind of the text is when
- 6:31Speaker 1: John the Baptist is standing there baptizing people in the
- 6:36Speaker 1: Jordan River, and he looks through the crowd, and somewhere
- 6:40Speaker 1: in the midst of the crowd, he sees Jesus and says,
- 6:44Speaker 1: Behold the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins
- 6:48Speaker 1: of the world. And immediately Jesus was brought up. from
- 6:52Speaker 1: the background to the forefront. It is interesting to me
- 6:57Speaker 1: because when God gets ready to bring you to the forefront,
- 7:01Speaker 1: you don't have to self-promote. When God gets ready to
- 7:05Speaker 1: bring you to the forefront, he can point you out
- 7:09Speaker 1: and move you to the forefront if that is where
- 7:13Speaker 1: destiny has designed for you to be. He's not going
- 7:17Speaker 1: to bring you to the forefront because of your ego.
- 7:20Speaker 1: He's not going to bring you to the forefront because
- 7:22Speaker 1: of your imagination. He's not going to bring you to
- 7:26Speaker 1: the forefront because your mama told you you belonged in
- 7:29Speaker 1: the forefront. God does everything according... to his purpose. As
- 7:35Speaker 1: soon as you decide to settle on that, you will
- 7:39Speaker 1: have a lot more peace. When you stop trying to
- 7:42Speaker 1: manipulate God to following your agenda and start to understand
- 7:47Speaker 1: that God has a purpose for your life and he
- 7:50Speaker 1: gave you or will give you everything you need for
- 7:54Speaker 1: that purpose. If you needed to be taller, he'd make
- 7:57Speaker 1: you taller. If you needed to be shorter, he'd make
- 7:59Speaker 1: you shorter. If you need to be richer, he'll give
- 8:02Speaker 1: you more wealth. If you need to be more popular,
- 8:05Speaker 1: he'll give you more popularity. Everything that he gives you
- 8:09Speaker 1: is not about your desire as much as it is
- 8:13Speaker 1: about his purpose for you in your life. And God
- 8:18Speaker 1: can do it quick. He can do it suddenly. He
- 8:21Speaker 1: can do it in a hurry. He can do it
- 8:23Speaker 1: without reservation. In one moment, Jesus went from being a
- 8:27Speaker 1: face in the crowd until every eye was on him
- 8:32Speaker 1: as he made his way through the crowd, came down
- 8:36Speaker 1: into the Jordan River, and there he was baptized in
- 8:40Speaker 1: the Jordan River. I want you to understand a few things.
- 8:43Speaker 1: His validation first came from man. You don't get to
- 8:50Speaker 1: the point that you don't need somebody senior to you
- 8:53Speaker 1: to point you out. If Jesus didn't start until somebody
- 8:57Speaker 1: pointed him out, you need to wait until somebody points
- 9:00Speaker 1: you out. He was not self-appointed. John pointed him out
- 9:05Speaker 1: and said, behold, the Lamb of God was taking away
- 9:08Speaker 1: the sins of the world. I will avoid the temptation
- 9:12Speaker 1: to linger with John and Jesus in the Jordan River
- 9:16Speaker 1: and equate it to them being in their mother's womb
- 9:20Speaker 1: when they first, when Elizabeth and Mary first kissed. We
- 9:23Speaker 1: have not seen them since they were swimming in their
- 9:27Speaker 1: mother's fluids. And now they're back in the Jordan River again.
- 9:32Speaker 1: And this time they're outside of the womb, but they're
- 9:36Speaker 1: still in the flow. I said they're outside of the womb,
- 9:42Speaker 1: but they're still in the flow. If you're going to
- 9:45Speaker 1: get anything done with God, you've got to get in
- 9:48Speaker 1: the flow. When there's a flow, you've got to step
- 9:52Speaker 1: into it. You could sit there with your legs crossed
- 9:55Speaker 1: and your head back playing with your phone and not
- 9:59Speaker 1: get in the flow. It is your choice. Jesus could
- 10:02Speaker 1: have stepped around the Jordan and not got in the Jordan,
- 10:06Speaker 1: but he became obedient and he stepped down into the flow.
- 10:12Speaker 1: I'm amazed at the people who come to church on
- 10:14Speaker 1: Sunday who never step down into the flow. They got up,
- 10:19Speaker 1: they got dressed, they put their clothes on, they turned
- 10:23Speaker 1: on their laptop, they turned on their iPad, they turned
- 10:26Speaker 1: on their device, and they're sitting there, but they never
- 10:29Speaker 1: get in the flow. Why would you come if you're
- 10:34Speaker 1: not going to get wet? Why would you come if
- 10:40Speaker 1: you're not going to get wet? Why would you come
- 10:43Speaker 1: if you weren't seeking a deeper relationship with God? Jesus
- 10:47Speaker 1: and John are standing in the flow. I pray that
- 10:51Speaker 1: the Holy Ghost would flow through this place today. I
- 10:55Speaker 1: pray that he would flow through this place until you
- 10:58Speaker 1: decided this really is a worship service and I'm going
- 11:02Speaker 1: to get into the flow. I pray that he would
- 11:05Speaker 1: come into this place until quiet people started praising God.
- 11:10Speaker 1: I pray that he would come and flow through this
- 11:13Speaker 1: place until sick people started getting in the flow and
- 11:17Speaker 1: getting healed by the power of God. I pray that
- 11:20Speaker 1: he would come in such a flow until depressed people
- 11:24Speaker 1: got in the flow and had their mind uplifted by
- 11:27Speaker 1: the power of God. It's all in the flow. It's
- 11:31Speaker 1: in the flow. It's in the flow. You need to
- 11:34Speaker 1: get in the flow. He is not going to break in.
- 11:37Speaker 1: He's not going to send a tsunami. He's not going
- 11:40Speaker 1: to send a hurricane. He's not going to send a tornado.
- 11:43Speaker 1: You have to, as an act of your will, humble
- 11:47Speaker 1: yourself and step down into the flow and watch the
- 11:51Speaker 1: Holy Spirit meet you there. John the Baptist, who is
- 11:59Speaker 1: the premier prelate of his hour, he's drawing all the crowds,
- 12:03Speaker 1: all the people are talking about him. God is using
- 12:06Speaker 1: him in a unique way. He has broken the tradition
- 12:09Speaker 1: of his fathers. He has decided to go about it
- 12:13Speaker 1: in another way, and yet God is using him effectively.
- 12:17Speaker 1: He has forsaken the sanctity of the sanctuary and gone
- 12:21Speaker 1: into the wilderness. And there he ate wild locusts and
- 12:25Speaker 1: honey and dressed in camel's hair. He was not afraid
- 12:28Speaker 1: to be different. Oh, can I stop a minute and
- 12:31Speaker 1: ask God, give us some more preachers who are not
- 12:34Speaker 1: afraid to be different, who are not running from controversy,
- 12:38Speaker 1: who are not scared of what people are going to
- 12:40Speaker 1: say about them, who are not afraid that they won't
- 12:43Speaker 1: get invited to dinner. If you're going to preach for
- 12:46Speaker 1: God in this season, you got to be radical enough
- 12:49Speaker 1: for people to talk about you. They talked about what
- 12:52Speaker 1: he wore. They talked about what he ate. They talked
- 12:56Speaker 1: about where he stayed. But he kept on preaching, repent,
- 12:59Speaker 1: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Next Sunday,
- 13:02Speaker 1: repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Next week,
- 13:06Speaker 1: repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. He
- 13:09Speaker 1: wasn't trying to entertain you. He wasn't trying to impress you.
- 13:13Speaker 1: He was trying to fulfill his assignment and do what
- 13:16Speaker 1: God had called him to do. Can I get a
- 13:19Speaker 1: witness in this church? Is there a witness in this church?
- 13:24Speaker 1: Somebody bear witness in this church. You're watching on the
- 13:29Speaker 1: internet saying, I'm getting in the flow. I'm too old
- 13:34Speaker 1: to be around the water and not get in the flow.
- 13:37Speaker 1: I've been through too many demons to be near the
- 13:39Speaker 1: water and not get in the flow. I've been too
- 13:42Speaker 1: sick to get here now and not get in the flow.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Whatever it takes for me to get the breakthrough, I'm
- 13:48Speaker 1: going to get in the flow. I mean, I'm going
- 13:51Speaker 1: all the way down in the water. I'm going to
- 13:53Speaker 1: get saturated. I'm going to get soaked. I'm going to
- 13:57Speaker 1: get overwhelmed. I'm going to allow the Spirit of God
- 14:00Speaker 1: to take me out. I am getting in the flow.
- 14:04Speaker 1: There's somebody in this room. You may be in the balcony.
- 14:08Speaker 1: You may be in the back. You may be listening
- 14:10Speaker 1: in the hallway. But God is calling you out of
- 14:14Speaker 1: the crowd and down into the flow. You got to
- 14:17Speaker 1: be willing to walk through people and pass people and
- 14:21Speaker 1: around people. If you want to get wet with the
- 14:24Speaker 1: glory that God has for you, you have to say,
- 14:27Speaker 1: excuse me. He's calling me. Excuse me. He's calling me.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Excuse me. He's calling me. I'm going to get in
- 14:35Speaker 1: the flow. Somebody that's going to get in the flow.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Take about 10 seconds and give God a praise in
- 14:41Speaker 1: the flow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna get
- 15:01Speaker 1: in the flow. I got too much to fight not
- 15:04Speaker 1: to get in the flow. I'm going through too much
- 15:07Speaker 1: not to get in the flow. I've been under attack
- 15:10Speaker 1: too long not to get in the flow. I can't
- 15:13Speaker 1: afford to sit there and be cute. I got some
- 15:16Speaker 1: things I gotta get a breakthrough for. I gotta get
- 15:19Speaker 1: in the flow. I got children in trouble. I got
- 15:22Speaker 1: parents in the hospital. I need a touch from God.
- 15:26Speaker 1: I came to get a touch from God. I didn't
- 15:29Speaker 1: come to show off my cute breasts. I didn't come
- 15:32Speaker 1: to show off my stilettos or my tie. I came
- 15:36Speaker 1: to get in the flow of the Holy Spirit. God,
- 15:39Speaker 1: send me some people that want to get wet. Send
- 15:43Speaker 1: me some singers that want to get wet. Send me
- 15:46Speaker 1: some deacons that want to get wet. Send me some
- 15:49Speaker 1: elders that want to get wet. Send me some pastors
- 15:52Speaker 1: that want to get wet. I came to get wet.
- 15:56Speaker 1: I came to step into the flow of the Holy Spirit.
- 16:07Speaker 1: Everything that God will do is done in a flow.
- 16:15Speaker 1: Everything that God will do is done in a flow.
- 16:19Speaker 1: From the book of Genesis where the Spirit of the
- 16:21Speaker 1: Lord moves upon the face of the deep, God is
- 16:24Speaker 1: always moving in the flow. Later on when he says
- 16:28Speaker 1: have Noah to build an ark on dry ground, he
- 16:31Speaker 1: says I'll send the flow, you build the ark. God
- 16:35Speaker 1: always moves in the flow to the Red Sea when
- 16:37Speaker 1: he stopped it on his side and drew it back
- 16:40Speaker 1: so that the children of Israel could walk through the flow.
- 16:44Speaker 1: From the creation of man through the womb of a woman,
- 16:47Speaker 1: everything God will ever do, he will do it through
- 16:49Speaker 1: the flow. If from the bleeding side of Jesus Christ
- 16:53Speaker 1: stretched out on Calvary where they hung him high and
- 16:56Speaker 1: stretched him wide, the New Testament was in the flow.
- 17:00Speaker 1: It's in the flow. It's in the flow. It's in
- 17:02Speaker 1: the flow. So you can choose to get in or
- 17:05Speaker 1: you can choose to stay out. You can choose to
- 17:08Speaker 1: step in or you can choose to step out. But
- 17:10Speaker 1: God's going to send the flow and the flow is
- 17:13Speaker 1: coming your direction. I prophesy to you today, the flow
- 17:17Speaker 1: is coming your direction. They're the flow coming from God
- 17:21Speaker 1: and it's headed to your house. They're the flow coming.
- 17:24Speaker 1: You can choose to get in or you can choose
- 17:27Speaker 1: to stay out. You can choose to get in or
- 17:29Speaker 1: you can choose to step out. Who's stepping into the
- 17:33Speaker 1: flow this morning? Holler at your boy. So I want
- 17:48Speaker 1: to talk about the floor. I want to talk about
- 17:49Speaker 1: the voice. There were three voices that honored him. First,
- 17:53Speaker 1: it was the voice of John that told him who
- 17:55Speaker 1: he was. Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away
- 17:58Speaker 1: the sins of the world, who told the people who
- 18:00Speaker 1: he was. Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away
- 18:03Speaker 1: the sins of the world. He talks to Jesus as
- 18:06Speaker 1: he is the Lamb. But the voice spoke from heaven
- 18:10Speaker 1: after he was baptized and called him, behold, this is
- 18:15Speaker 1: my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased. So while
- 18:19Speaker 1: John saw him as the lamb, the father saw him
- 18:22Speaker 1: as the son. The Messiah, the Holy Spirit saw him
- 18:26Speaker 1: as the Messiah because he descended like as a dove.
- 18:30Speaker 1: He was not a dove, but he descended like as
- 18:34Speaker 1: a dove. He was no doubt as gentle as a
- 18:37Speaker 1: dove as he came to sit on him. And from
- 18:40Speaker 1: that day forward, they ceased to call him Emmanuel or
- 18:44Speaker 1: just Jesus. They started calling him Jesus Christ, Jesus the Christos,
- 18:50Speaker 1: Jesus the anointed one. Jesus the anointed one refers to
- 18:55Speaker 1: him in his messianic power so we know that he's
- 18:58Speaker 1: the lamb and we know that he's the son of
- 19:01Speaker 1: God and now the Holy Spirit has let us know
- 19:04Speaker 1: that he is the Messiah and it all happened while
- 19:07Speaker 1: he was wet you'd be surprised what you can learn
- 19:10Speaker 1: about yourself while you're wet The reason you're not any
- 19:14Speaker 1: further than you are is that you're too dry. If
- 19:17Speaker 1: you learn how to get wet up under the Holy Spirit,
- 19:20Speaker 1: God will show you who your wife is. He'll show
- 19:23Speaker 1: you where your job is. He'll show you when to
- 19:26Speaker 1: buy the property. He'll show you when to make the decision.
- 19:30Speaker 1: God can't do anything till you get wet. But if
- 19:33Speaker 1: you get wet, God will start telling you who you are,
- 19:36Speaker 1: where you came from, what you're going to go through,
- 19:39Speaker 1: what you got to do to get the job done.
- 19:42Speaker 1: Is there anybody on Zoom that's willing to get wet?
- 19:46Speaker 1: Or are you just going to sit there and look
- 19:48Speaker 1: at me? Or are you going to step in and
- 19:49Speaker 1: get wet? I didn't come this far not to get wet.
- 19:53Speaker 1: I've been through too much hell not to get wet.
- 19:56Speaker 1: I expect something from God. I want to get wet.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Somebody open your mouth and praise Him right now. When
- 20:12Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit descended like as a dove, it is
- 20:16Speaker 1: the first place in scriptures since Genesis where we see
- 20:20Speaker 1: all three aspects of God manifested in one place. The
- 20:24Speaker 1: Father spoke from heaven, the Son is in the water,
- 20:27Speaker 1: and the Holy Spirit descended like as a dove. It
- 20:30Speaker 1: is because when Jesus was baptized, he was raised up
- 20:35Speaker 1: from the dead. That the fullness of the Godhead might
- 20:39Speaker 1: dwell in him bodily. There was not any part of
- 20:42Speaker 1: the Godhead that was a disconnect to who Jesus was.
- 20:47Speaker 1: Both the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son come
- 20:50Speaker 1: together into one. He was raised up. Jesus spoke of
- 20:54Speaker 1: the resurrection. He says, no man takes my life. I
- 20:57Speaker 1: lay it down. And if I lay it down, I'll
- 21:00Speaker 1: pick it back up again. Paul says the same Spirit
- 21:04Speaker 1: that quickened Jesus' mortal body shall also quicken our mortal body.
- 21:09Speaker 1: He also says that Jesus was raised from the dead
- 21:12Speaker 1: by the glory of the Father. So was it the
- 21:14Speaker 1: Father that raised Him, the Son that raised Him, or
- 21:17Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit that raised Him? It was all three
- 21:20Speaker 1: of them, for all three of them are one. And
- 21:23Speaker 1: in one concert, He lifted Him up. Oh my God,
- 21:27Speaker 1: imagine how many devils would run If the fullness of
- 21:31Speaker 1: the Godhead was going to raise you up, look at
- 21:34Speaker 1: your neighbor and say, I feel like getting up this morning.
- 21:37Speaker 1: I've been down too long. I feel like getting up.
- 21:40Speaker 1: I feel like getting up. I feel like coming out
- 21:43Speaker 1: of this stupor. I feel like coming out of this depression.
- 21:47Speaker 1: I feel like coming out of this hostility. I feel
- 21:50Speaker 1: like coming out. I feel like coming out. I feel
- 21:53Speaker 1: like coming out. What I love about Jesus is that
- 22:21Speaker 1: he was just as much God's son in isolation as
- 22:26Speaker 1: he was in consecration, as he will be in altercation.
- 22:32Speaker 1: He was still the same. Whether men clapped or didn't clap.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Whether they were there or weren't there. Whether they supported
- 22:40Speaker 1: him or didn't support him. Do not allow your situation
- 22:44Speaker 1: to define your identity. I am who God says I am.
- 22:49Speaker 1: I can do what God says I can do. Glory
- 22:52Speaker 1: to God. I was telling some pastors, I said I
- 22:55Speaker 1: would be a pastor if I didn't have a church.
- 22:58Speaker 1: I'd be a pastor if I didn't have a building
- 23:01Speaker 1: because none of those things define me. Pastoring is an anointing.
- 23:07Speaker 1: It's an anointing. It's the flow of the Spirit. It'll
- 23:10Speaker 1: happen around a kitchen table. It'll happen in a restaurant.
- 23:14Speaker 1: When God makes you something, you are that. Whether you
- 23:17Speaker 1: got anybody to bear witness to that or not. Oh,
- 23:20Speaker 1: don't fool with me. Don't fool with me. You gonna
- 23:22Speaker 1: fool with me. You gonna fool with me. If you
- 23:24Speaker 1: fool with me, you gonna make me preach. If you
- 23:27Speaker 1: fool with me, you gonna start something. Hallelujah. Glory to God.
- 23:31Speaker 1: And all of the Godhead said, set it off. They
- 23:35Speaker 1: had to all set it off to correspond with Genesis
- 23:39Speaker 1: when they said let us make the first man Adam.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Let us make the first man Adam. And now in
- 23:47Speaker 1: the Jordan, the us is at it again. I said
- 23:51Speaker 1: the us is at it again. The us is at
- 23:54Speaker 1: it again. The us is at it again. The us
- 23:58Speaker 1: is at it again. The us is at it again.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Let us make man. Let us make Adam. Let us
- 24:05Speaker 1: be at it again. You ought to tell the devil,
- 24:08Speaker 1: you fooling with us now. You're not just jumping on me,
- 24:12Speaker 1: you're fooling with us. I got an us behind me.
- 24:16Speaker 1: I got an army behind me. I got a brigade
- 24:19Speaker 1: behind me. I got support behind me. I got secret
- 24:23Speaker 1: forces behind me. It is amazing to me to recognize
- 24:36Speaker 1: how the Holy Spirit at one moment... can descend like
- 24:41Speaker 1: a dove. The Father can speak from heaven, and the
- 24:46Speaker 1: Son can be immersed in the water. And then the
- 24:50Speaker 1: next moment, from this pinnacle of spiritual supremacy, from this
- 24:59Speaker 1: apex of spiritual awareness and identity, from this apex of
- 25:06Speaker 1: an understanding of the Messiah coming for which they had
- 25:10Speaker 1: waited thousands of years, in the very next verse, it
- 25:16Speaker 1: plummets from the pinnacle of this height of spiritual supremacy
- 25:21Speaker 1: and authority down into the abyss of an altercation. And
- 25:28Speaker 1: it wasn't like he just wandered into the altercation. He
- 25:32Speaker 1: was led of the Spirit into the altercation. See, we
- 25:37Speaker 1: don't have that kind of spirit anymore. The only kind
- 25:40Speaker 1: of spirit we got today is the kind that leads
- 25:43Speaker 1: us into a Cadillac or a Rolls Royce or a Mercedes.
- 25:47Speaker 1: The only kind of spirit we have today is the
- 25:49Speaker 1: spirit that anoints us to get a new house. We
- 25:52Speaker 1: don't have the kind of spirit that Jesus had that
- 25:55Speaker 1: would lead you into a fight. Sometimes God will lead
- 25:59Speaker 1: you into an altercation because there's something that has to
- 26:03Speaker 1: be done and you got to fight for it. Ain't
- 26:07Speaker 1: nobody going to give you nothing. Let me talk to
- 26:10Speaker 1: the young people for a minute. Stop waiting on people
- 26:12Speaker 1: to die. Ain't nobody going to give you nothing. You
- 26:15Speaker 1: got to fight for it. You got to roll up
- 26:17Speaker 1: your sleeves and snarl your teeth and fight for it.
- 26:22Speaker 1: There's something you get out of the fight that you
- 26:24Speaker 1: don't get any other way. There's something you get out
- 26:27Speaker 1: of the struggle, out of rolling around in the ground.
- 26:31Speaker 1: You got to get money for it. You got to
- 26:33Speaker 1: get wet for it. You may even have to get
- 26:36Speaker 1: dirty for it. But when it's all over, you're going
- 26:38Speaker 1: to get the victory. Somebody give God a victory praise.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Altrication is a nice.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Word for quarrel.
- 26:55Speaker 1: It's a nice word for quarrel, an argument. It's a
- 27:00Speaker 1: nicer word for fight. It's a fight, it's a fight.
- 27:04Speaker 1: It's really fight, just this one syllable word, fight, epitomizes
- 27:09Speaker 1: what altercation is. Altercation is a very civilized sounding four
- 27:14Speaker 1: syllable word that really says the same uncivilized thing we
- 27:20Speaker 1: about to fight. He was led, you ought to understand,
- 27:29Speaker 1: he was led by the gentle Holy Spirit into a fight.
- 27:41Speaker 1: He didn't get anointed and start dancing in the Jordan.
- 27:46Speaker 1: He didn't get his tambourine out in the Jordan and
- 27:48Speaker 1: start beating his tambourine. He didn't start shouting in the
- 27:52Speaker 1: Jordan River. He reserved his anointing for the fight. I
- 28:02Speaker 1: think sometimes we spend our anointing foolishly. Trying to impress
- 28:09Speaker 1: people that don't matter. Try to move people that won't
- 28:13Speaker 1: be moved. Trying to touch people that won't be touched.
- 28:18Speaker 1: But whenever the anointing comes upon you, the anointing is
- 28:21Speaker 1: literally the enablement of God. It comes upon you so
- 28:27Speaker 1: that it enables you to do what you could not
- 28:30Speaker 1: do by yourself. Let me ask a question in this room,
- 28:35Speaker 1: outside of this room, and around the world. Are you anointed?
- 28:46Speaker 1: That was okay. But if you got a cancer to fight,
- 28:50Speaker 1: you got to be willing to talk better than that.
- 28:52Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you again, are you anointed? If
- 28:57Speaker 1: you're trying to overcome COVID, you got to be sure
- 29:00Speaker 1: about this thing. Are you anointed? Look at your neighbor
- 29:05Speaker 1: and say, I'm anointed. You got to be careful. You
- 29:09Speaker 1: got to be careful because you're not just fighting me.
- 29:12Speaker 1: You're fighting us. You're fighting us. You're fighting us. You're
- 29:15Speaker 1: fighting us. This anointing that's on me, this anointing that's
- 29:19Speaker 1: on me is not afraid to go down into a
- 29:22Speaker 1: dry place. They went from a wet place to a
- 29:25Speaker 1: dry place. They went from a wet place to a
- 29:28Speaker 1: dry place because the Holy Spirit is just as powerful
- 29:32Speaker 1: in a wet place as he is in a dry place. Oh,
- 29:36Speaker 1: have you ever had God anoint you in a dry place?
- 29:40Speaker 1: I wish I had somebody in here that was in
- 29:42Speaker 1: a dry place because if you're in a dry place
- 29:46Speaker 1: and God anoints you in a dry place, hell gets
- 29:49Speaker 1: nervous and demons start trembling and Satan is upset. Oh,
- 29:53Speaker 1: I love the praise of anybody, but when somebody that's
- 29:57Speaker 1: been in a dry place gets opens up their mouth
- 30:00Speaker 1: and praises God, hell gets frustrated.
- 30:07Speaker 2: I said hell gets frustrated.
- 30:22Speaker 1: If you have been captured in a dry place, going
- 30:26Speaker 1: through a tough time, your emotions are working against you.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Your situations are working against you. All your finances are
- 30:34Speaker 1: working against you. And the devil thinks he's got you
- 30:36Speaker 1: surrounded in a wilderness of despair. I'm going to give
- 30:41Speaker 1: you 30 seconds to praise your way out of it
- 30:43Speaker 1: right now. You got about 15 seconds. You got about
- 31:03Speaker 1: five seconds. Oh! You got about three seconds. Praise your
- 31:10Speaker 1: way out. Praise your way out. Praise your way out.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Shout yes! Shout yes! Shout yes! Count yes again. Look
- 31:28Speaker 1: at somebody say, I'm still anointed. I'm still anointed. I'm
- 31:33Speaker 1: still anointed. I don't care how my emotions feel. I
- 31:37Speaker 1: don't care how my mind feels. I don't care what
- 31:41Speaker 1: my haters are saying. I don't care what my doubters
- 31:45Speaker 1: are saying. He whom the Son has set free is
- 31:50Speaker 1: free indeed. I wish I had a thousand anointed folks
- 31:55Speaker 1: in this room to give God some kind of praise.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Praise him like you ain't sick. Praise him like you're
- 32:02Speaker 1: not broke. Praise him like you're not defeated. Praise him
- 32:06Speaker 1: like you got the victory. Praise him like you know
- 32:09Speaker 1: who you are. Praise him like you know who you are.
- 32:13Speaker 1: Praise him like you're a king. Praise him like you're
- 32:16Speaker 1: the child of a king. Sit down, let me teach
- 32:36Speaker 1: you something. I want you to understand this, this is important.
- 32:52Speaker 1: No good boxer prepares to box an opponent he hasn't studied.
- 32:59Speaker 1: So we need to study the enemy. We don't talk
- 33:01Speaker 1: about the enemy. We don't teach about the enemy. And
- 33:04Speaker 1: therefore we don't understand the enemy. And when we get
- 33:06Speaker 1: into a fight with him, we are ignorant of his devices.
- 33:11Speaker 1: He has devices. He has wows. He has tactics. Right
- 33:18Speaker 1: when you're on the verge of getting what God has
- 33:21Speaker 1: for you, he will release a tactic. So when things
- 33:25Speaker 1: get worse, it's a sign it's about to get better. Amen.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Satan is a fallen angel named Lucifer. He's fallen down
- 33:41Speaker 1: into the earth realm. But it is not enough for
- 33:44Speaker 1: you to know that Satan is also organized. So if
- 33:50Speaker 1: you are unorganized, you are fighting an enemy that's organized.
- 33:54Speaker 1: You better organize because he's organized. At one point he
- 33:59Speaker 1: defines his brigades as legions. Legions are military bases that
- 34:06Speaker 1: move in synchronization. So Satan moves in synchronization. You never
- 34:13Speaker 1: from Genesis to Revelations see a demon fighting a demon.
- 34:18Speaker 1: He is united. He is orchestrated. Satan is not only
- 34:23Speaker 1: a fallen angel, he has a kingdom. He has a
- 34:29Speaker 1: kingdom with principalities and powers and regions and territory. There
- 34:37Speaker 1: is a demonic influence that is assigned to you. If
- 34:47Speaker 1: you think about it, you've been fighting different versions of
- 34:50Speaker 1: the same spirit all of your life. That you are
- 34:55Speaker 1: in his territory like a commissioner, like a councilman. He
- 35:00Speaker 1: has a territory. It could be a family territory. It
- 35:04Speaker 1: could be a geographical territory. But Satan has organized that
- 35:09Speaker 1: he dispenses demonic powers regionally. You remember when Legion... was
- 35:14Speaker 1: about to be delivered from the demons, and Jesus was
- 35:17Speaker 1: about to cast out the demons, and the demons said,
- 35:20Speaker 1: suffer us not to leave the region. The enemy says,
- 35:26Speaker 1: please don't let me leave the region. I have an
- 35:29Speaker 1: investment here. I attacked her mama. I attacked her auntie.
- 35:34Speaker 1: I attacked her sister. I attacked her brother. I don't
- 35:37Speaker 1: want to get out of the region. I don't want
- 35:39Speaker 1: to get out of the region, but somebody say, get
- 35:42Speaker 1: out of here. Amen. I'm taking over my territory. I'm
- 35:49Speaker 1: taking over my, I'm about to feel like preaching. I'm
- 35:52Speaker 1: taking over my rightful place. When the Bible said, neither
- 35:56Speaker 1: give place to the devil, it's talking about taking over
- 35:59Speaker 1: your region. You got a region. Possess the land. Possess
- 36:04Speaker 1: the land. Possess the land. If it's your mind, if
- 36:07Speaker 1: it's your peace, if it's your body, if it's your health,
- 36:10Speaker 1: if it's cancer, whatever it is, possess the land. Claim it.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Lay hands on yourself and tell him, get out of
- 36:17Speaker 1: my territory. I'm bought with a price. I got a
- 36:20Speaker 1: deed of trust. I'm covered by the blood of the Lamb.
- 36:24Speaker 1: Glory to God. He's already given me the earnest of
- 36:27Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. My body belongs to God. My whole
- 36:33Speaker 1: body belongs to God. My mind belongs to God. My
- 36:38Speaker 1: legs belong to God. My head belongs to God. Who
- 36:44Speaker 1: am I preaching to? I'm preaching to somebody right now.
- 36:53Speaker 1: Let me give you this little bit of study. Go
- 36:55Speaker 1: to Matthew 12, 22 for just a minute. I want
- 36:58Speaker 1: to back it all up with Bible so you know this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Matthew 12, 22 through 28. I want to give you this.
- 37:07Speaker 1: This is good. This is good. See, it's good because
- 37:11Speaker 1: you've been thinking you're weak or meek or defeated or failed.
- 37:14Speaker 1: You don't understand that brigades of demonic powers have been
- 37:20Speaker 1: dispatched against your house, against your health, against your finances.
- 37:32Speaker 1: You're not fighting no one little spirit. You're fighting brigades
- 37:36Speaker 1: of marching forces trying to tear you down, trying to
- 37:40Speaker 1: defeat you, trying to destroy you, trying to render you helpless.
- 37:45Speaker 1: But touch somebody and say the devil is a liar.
- 37:49Speaker 1: The devil is a liar. The devil is a liar.
- 37:52Speaker 1: The devil is a liar. Type it on the line.
- 37:55Speaker 1: The devil is a liar. Type it on the line.
- 37:58Speaker 1: The devil is a liar. Put it in the comments.
- 38:01Speaker 1: The devil is a liar. You can't have my house.
- 38:04Speaker 1: You can't have my son. You can't have my child.
- 38:08Speaker 1: You can't have my daughter. You can't have my marriage.
- 38:12Speaker 1: You can't have my people. No! Watch this, Matthew 12, 22.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Then was brought unto him one possessed with the devil,
- 38:26Speaker 1: blind and dumb, and he healed him. In so much
- 38:29Speaker 1: that the blind and the dumb both spake and saw.
- 38:33Speaker 1: And all the people were amazed and said, is not
- 38:36Speaker 1: this the son of David? But when the Pharisees heard it,
- 38:40Speaker 1: they said, this fellow does not cast out devils, but
- 38:44Speaker 1: by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. And this is
- 38:49Speaker 1: what I love about this. And Jesus knew their thoughts.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Has God ever let you know somebody's thoughts? They didn't
- 39:01Speaker 1: say anything, but you could just tell. Every now and then,
- 39:05Speaker 1: God will let you know somebody's thought. The Bible said,
- 39:07Speaker 1: and Jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them, every
- 39:11Speaker 1: kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And every
- 39:17Speaker 1: city or house divided against itself shall not stand. And
- 39:21Speaker 1: if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself.
- 39:26Speaker 1: How then shall his kingdom stand? You're fighting the kingdom.
- 39:40Speaker 1: The kingdoms are in conflict. The kingdoms are in conflict.
- 39:46Speaker 1: That's why you're coming to get words. That's why you're
- 39:49Speaker 1: coming to get word. Because when you walk out of here,
- 39:52Speaker 1: you got an onslaught and a pact, a warfare that
- 39:56Speaker 1: you got to fight through. You got to fight your
- 39:58Speaker 1: head through. We got nice little names for it now. Insecurities,
- 40:03Speaker 1: all kind of little stuff we call it. Psychological turn.
- 40:07Speaker 1: Sometimes it's not psychological. Sometimes it's just outright demonic. And
- 40:12Speaker 1: you got to rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Amen.
- 40:18Speaker 1: Sometimes we got to go back to acting like our
- 40:21Speaker 1: grandmothers and anointing our babies with oil and cover them
- 40:25Speaker 1: with the blood of Jesus and walking through the house,
- 40:29Speaker 1: groaning and moaning in the spirit and get some of
- 40:33Speaker 1: this frustration out of you. You've been through 400 days
- 40:37Speaker 1: of trauma. You can't just put makeup on top of that.
- 40:41Speaker 1: You got to get in the spirit and start wailing
- 40:44Speaker 1: and get that out of your belly and and out
- 40:46Speaker 1: of your spirit. Get that poison out of you. Get
- 40:50Speaker 1: it out, get it out, get it out, get it out.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Somebody open your mouth and holler. Somebody open, oh. I'm
- 41:02Speaker 1: gonna get it out. I'm going to get it out.
- 41:05Speaker 1: I'm going to get it out until I get my
- 41:07Speaker 1: sleep back. I'm going to get it out until I
- 41:09Speaker 1: get my peace back. I'm going to get it out
- 41:12Speaker 1: until I get my joy back. I'm going to get
- 41:14Speaker 1: it out until I get my anointing back. Somebody clap
- 41:18Speaker 1: your hands and praise the Lord. Come on, give me
- 41:23Speaker 1: more monitor. Come on, give God a praise. Come on,
- 41:27Speaker 1: give God a praise. Come on, give God a praise.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Come on, give God a praise. Come on, give God
- 41:33Speaker 1: a praise. Come on, give God a praise. Come on,
- 41:37Speaker 1: give God a praise. Come on, give God a praise.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Come on, give God a praise. Come on, give God
- 41:43Speaker 1: a praise. Come on, give God a praise. I got
- 41:45Speaker 1: to get it out. I got to get it out.
- 41:47Speaker 3: I got to get it out. I got to get
- 41:48Speaker 3: it out. I got to get it out. I got
- 41:50Speaker 3: to get it out. I got to get it out.
- 41:52Speaker 3: I got to get it out. I ain't having no stroke.
- 41:55Speaker 3: I ain't having no seizure. I ain't having no heart attack.
- 41:59Speaker 3: I got to get this out of me. Open your
- 42:01Speaker 3: mouth and holler like you pray.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Sit down, I want you to understand what you're up against.
- 42:21Speaker 1: I was doing some research on witches, Wiccans, and pagans. Witches, Wiccans,
- 42:26Speaker 1: and pagans. Some modern day research. Though the data is sparse,
- 42:31Speaker 1: what we do know is that the practice of witchcraft
- 42:34Speaker 1: has seen major growth in recent decades. As the witch
- 42:40Speaker 1: aesthetic has risen, so has the number of people who
- 42:44Speaker 1: identify as witches. The best source of the data on
- 42:51Speaker 1: the number of witches in the United States comes from
- 42:54Speaker 1: assessment of the Wicca population. Not all people who practice
- 42:58Speaker 1: witchcraft consider themselves Wicca, but the religion makes up a
- 43:03Speaker 1: significant subset. as Alden Wickard noted for courts in 2016.
- 43:10Speaker 1: So while we've been shouting and while we've been dancing
- 43:13Speaker 1: and while we've been praising God and while we've been
- 43:16Speaker 1: frying chicken, the witches have been having revival. I said
- 43:22Speaker 1: the witches have been having revival. The Wiccans are coming
- 43:26Speaker 1: out as an organized religion, a subset of witchcraft. Satan's
- 43:31Speaker 1: kingdom is trying to take over territory. He's taking over cities.
- 43:36Speaker 1: He's taking over regions. He's even taking over churches. Hallelujah.
- 43:40Speaker 1: But the Bible said when the enemy comes in like
- 43:44Speaker 1: a flood, the spirit of the Lord will lift up
- 43:47Speaker 1: a standing against him. Hallelujah to God. God wants your
- 43:52Speaker 1: house to be a standard against the devil. So when
- 43:57Speaker 1: the witch tries to hex the neighborhood, she says, there's
- 44:01Speaker 1: one house I can't get the curse to work on.
- 44:04Speaker 1: It seems like something is stopping it because the spirit
- 44:07Speaker 1: of the Lord has lifted up a standard against him.
- 44:11Speaker 1: Somebody scream, not my house. So Jesus is anointed for
- 44:27Speaker 1: the altercation. Look at somebody and say, I'm anointed for this.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Elbow somebody. Tell them I'm anointed for this. I'm anointed
- 44:36Speaker 1: to raise this child. I'm anointed to build this church.
- 44:40Speaker 1: I'm anointed to start this business. I'm anointed to be
- 44:43Speaker 1: this boy's father. I'm anointed to be married to this man.
- 44:47Speaker 1: I'm anointed for this. Stop telling me if I was you,
- 44:51Speaker 1: I wouldn't take it. You ain't me. You're not anointed
- 44:54Speaker 1: to be me. I'm anointed to be me. I can
- 44:57Speaker 1: take stuff you can't take. I can deal with stuff
- 45:00Speaker 1: you can't deal with. I I can fight fights you
- 45:02Speaker 1: can't fight, because I'm annoying and all the annoying people
- 45:06Speaker 1: holler at you, boy. I'm almost ready, sit with me,
- 45:17Speaker 1: I'm going a little bit further. So they brought Jesus
- 45:20Speaker 1: out to the wilderness. They said, you're anointed in the water,
- 45:24Speaker 1: but can you be anointed in the wilderness? Every now
- 45:27Speaker 1: and then Satan will change locations to see if the
- 45:30Speaker 1: Holy Ghost will work on your job, to see if
- 45:33Speaker 1: it'll work if there ain't no organ, if there's no tambourine,
- 45:37Speaker 1: if there's no choir, if there's no praise dancer. But
- 45:40Speaker 1: I want the devil to know this Holy Ghost I
- 45:44Speaker 1: got will work in my car. It'll work in my
- 45:47Speaker 1: front yard. It'll work in my backyard on the lawnmower.
- 45:51Speaker 1: Anytime I call on the name of Jesus, hell better
- 45:55Speaker 1: back up out of my way because I got the
- 45:58Speaker 1: anointing for the altercation. Somebody anoint it. Give me three
- 46:03Speaker 1: seconds of praise. I'm about to go somewhere. I'm about
- 46:08Speaker 1: to go somewhere. I'm about to go somewhere. I'm about
- 46:13Speaker 1: to go somewhere. I'm about to go somewhere. Are you
- 46:18Speaker 1: going with me? Let somebody say let's go. Are there
- 46:40Speaker 1: any realtors in here? If there's any realtors, wave at me.
- 46:44Speaker 1: Wave at me. Realtors, we're going to need your help
- 46:46Speaker 1: because we're getting ready to take some titles and some
- 46:50Speaker 1: deeds of trust and take some territory that the enemy
- 46:54Speaker 1: has stolen. We're getting ready to take it back. There's
- 46:59Speaker 1: about to be a transference of deeds. There's about to
- 47:02Speaker 1: be a breakthrough. Hallelujah. Glory to God. I feel the
- 47:07Speaker 1: power of the Holy Ghost in this place. Glory to God.
- 47:12Speaker 1: I'm about to snatch my stuff back, snatch my family back,
- 47:17Speaker 1: snatch my future back, snatch my prophecy back, snatch my
- 47:22Speaker 1: power back. I don't have to be in the Jordan
- 47:25Speaker 1: to be anointed. I can be anointed in the wilderness.
- 47:30Speaker 1: So for 40 days, he went without food. 40 days
- 47:38Speaker 1: without food will make you weak in the body. But
- 47:42Speaker 1: there's a difference between being weak in the body and
- 47:45Speaker 1: weak in the spirit. 40 days without food will make
- 47:49Speaker 1: you weak in the body, but he wasn't weak in
- 47:53Speaker 1: the spirit. And the enemy tempted him for 40 days.
- 47:58Speaker 1: And after the 40 days was over, he comes along
- 48:04Speaker 1: and the Bible says he saw Jesus was hungry. So
- 48:09Speaker 1: he said, if thou be the son of God, turn
- 48:12Speaker 1: this stone into bread. And then he said, Satan took
- 48:19Speaker 1: him up on a pinnacle and showed him all the
- 48:22Speaker 1: kingdoms of this world. And he said, all of this
- 48:26Speaker 1: will I give you. If you bow down and worship me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 48:34Speaker 1: If you just bow down and worship me, I'll turn
- 48:37Speaker 1: it over to you. And then he took him up
- 48:39Speaker 1: to the top of the temple and said, Thrust yourself
- 48:43Speaker 1: off this temple for it is written the angels will
- 48:45Speaker 1: give charge over thee. Now, everything, the bread to be
- 48:51Speaker 1: hungry is not a sin. So how could you tip
- 48:58Speaker 1: me with something that's not a sin? The temptation wasn't
- 49:04Speaker 1: the need. The temptation was how you go about satisfying
- 49:10Speaker 1: the need. You're not wrong to be hungry, but you
- 49:17Speaker 1: got to be careful how you fix it. Oh, y'all
- 49:21Speaker 1: don't hear what I'm saying. Y'all don't hear what I'm
- 49:23Speaker 1: saying to you. You was built to be hungry. There's
- 49:26Speaker 1: no stand in being hungry, but Satan will try to
- 49:30Speaker 1: get you to take a shortcut to satisfy a legitimate need.
- 49:36Speaker 1: It is in essence a legitimate need satisfied in an
- 49:41Speaker 1: illegitimate way. Satan showed him all the kingdoms of the world.
- 49:56Speaker 1: Showed him. The word emphasis should not be on the
- 49:59Speaker 1: kingdoms of this world. It should be showed him because
- 50:02Speaker 1: it's the lust of the eye. And he showed him
- 50:10Speaker 1: all the kingdoms of this world in a flash. Have
- 50:13Speaker 1: you thought about what that would look like? To show
- 50:16Speaker 1: him Asia and Japan and Russia and Germany and all
- 50:21Speaker 1: of the different countries in Africa and all the different languages.
- 50:25Speaker 1: And he did it all in a flash all over
- 50:28Speaker 1: Europe and Norway and Belgium and the Antarctic. And Australia,
- 50:33Speaker 1: all the kingdoms of the kingdoms of the world. He
- 50:37Speaker 1: showed it to him in a flash and said, I'll
- 50:40Speaker 1: give it to you. All you got to do is
- 50:42Speaker 1: worship me. Legitimate that it belongs to me. Because the
- 50:49Speaker 1: kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our
- 50:51Speaker 1: God and of his Christ. But for me to have
- 50:55Speaker 1: to worship you to get it. That is the temptation.
- 51:03Speaker 1: And by the way, why would you tempt me to
- 51:07Speaker 1: turn a stone to bread when I am the bread
- 51:10Speaker 1: of life? Cast yourself down off of this pinnacle for
- 51:24Speaker 1: it's written the angels will bear you up. In other words,
- 51:27Speaker 1: show how tough you are. And it was written that
- 51:32Speaker 1: the angels would bear him up. But it was not
- 51:35Speaker 1: written for him to do things to tempt God. That's
- 51:41Speaker 1: why this is just my conviction. You can have whatever
- 51:44Speaker 1: conviction you want. Feel free to do whatever you want
- 51:47Speaker 1: to do. You can take peroxide. You can eat the
- 51:52Speaker 1: container that the toothpaste comes in. If that's what you
- 51:55Speaker 1: want to do, you do whatever you feel led to do.
- 51:58Speaker 1: But it is my conviction that if I can do
- 52:03Speaker 1: something that will protect me from the virus, yes, God
- 52:08Speaker 1: can heal me. But just because God's a healer doesn't
- 52:17Speaker 1: mean that I should tempt him Come on, it does
- 52:25Speaker 1: not mean that I should have to tempt him in
- 52:29Speaker 1: order to do what he does. But this was the
- 52:32Speaker 1: pride of life. You're too important to get sick. You're
- 52:41Speaker 1: too important. The angels will come down and get you.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Jesus did not need Satan to loose the angels to
- 52:49Speaker 1: bear him up. Seeing as Jesus was the captain of
- 52:53Speaker 1: the host and he could have called 10,000 angels on
- 52:56Speaker 1: the cross, he did not need Satan to lift him up.
- 53:01Speaker 1: But here is the mystery. We have learned a trick.
- 53:07Speaker 1: Satan only got three tricks. The lust of the flesh,
- 53:18Speaker 1: the lust of the eye, And the pride of life.
- 53:23Speaker 1: That's all he got. If you pass him three things,
- 53:28Speaker 1: you got an A. The lust of the flesh. The
- 53:32Speaker 1: lust of the eye. And the pride of life. If
- 53:36Speaker 1: you can bypass what your flesh is craving for. The
- 53:41Speaker 1: lust of the flesh. And how you go about satisfying it.
- 53:49Speaker 1: That's the temptation, the lust of the flesh, the lust
- 53:54Speaker 1: of what you see. Have you ever had God bless
- 53:58Speaker 1: you and you was afraid to show people? Have you
- 54:04Speaker 1: ever had a dress and you were scared to wear
- 54:06Speaker 1: it because you wondered could they handle it? Have you
- 54:11Speaker 1: ever had a house and you didn't want to invite
- 54:12Speaker 1: people over because you weren't sure how they were going
- 54:15Speaker 1: to feel about it? For some people exposure makes them better.
- 54:21Speaker 1: For other people exposure makes them bitter. When Satan has
- 54:25Speaker 1: got a stronghold on you the lust of the eye
- 54:32Speaker 1: stops you from rejoicing with those that do rejoice. It's
- 54:37Speaker 1: what haters are made out of. They can't rejoice with
- 54:42Speaker 1: you because when they look at that they got a
- 54:45Speaker 1: hatred about it. The lust of the eye. The lust
- 54:52Speaker 1: of the eye. That's why God can't show you anything.
- 54:55Speaker 1: Because instead of learning from it, you lust after it.
- 55:03Speaker 1: It's easier for you to lust after taking it than
- 55:07Speaker 1: it is to learn how to acquire it. All Satan
- 55:17Speaker 1: has is In the world, it's the lust of the flesh,
- 55:22Speaker 1: the lust of the eye, the pride of life. I'm
- 55:24Speaker 1: going to show it to you real quick, and then
- 55:25Speaker 1: I'm going to close. Genesis 3, verse 6. Don't even
- 55:28Speaker 1: turn to it. I'm going to read it to you.
- 55:30Speaker 1: And when the woman saw that the tree was good
- 55:32Speaker 1: for food, oh, that it was good for food. That's
- 55:36Speaker 1: the lust of the flesh. And that it was pleasant
- 55:38Speaker 1: to the eyes. That's the lust of the eye. And
- 55:41Speaker 1: that its desire is to make one wise. That's the
- 55:45Speaker 1: pride of life. The same tricks he used on Eve,
- 55:53Speaker 1: he's using on Jesus, he's using on you. All you
- 56:01Speaker 1: got to do is flip those three and you got
- 56:03Speaker 1: to be the lust of the flesh, the lust of
- 56:07Speaker 1: the eye, and the pride of life. Am I important?
- 56:15Speaker 1: Am I important? You know you like to be important.
- 56:19Speaker 1: Am I important? The pride of life. God hates pride
- 56:26Speaker 1: above all of them. Because the pride of life will
- 56:30Speaker 1: bring you down. Sometimes you need to be overlooked. Sometimes
- 56:38Speaker 1: you need to be ignored. Some of you have a
- 56:41Speaker 1: syndrome where you need to be seen all the time.
- 56:44Speaker 1: Sometimes you need to be ignored because God is killing
- 56:48Speaker 1: out that pride of life. See me. See me. Look
- 56:55Speaker 1: at me. Come get me. Salvage me. The angels will
- 56:59Speaker 1: come get me. The family will forgive me. I'm too important.
- 57:14Speaker 1: I can do something stupid and the angels will catch me. Oh,
- 57:22Speaker 1: y'all got quiet. The lust of the flesh, the lust
- 57:27Speaker 1: of the eye, and the pride of life. The Bible
- 57:33Speaker 1: says that is all that is in the world. John 2,
- 57:39Speaker 1: 15 through 17 says that is all that is in
- 57:43Speaker 1: the world. You know how the old folks used to
- 57:46Speaker 1: tell us, don't be like the world, come out from
- 57:48Speaker 1: the world and be yourself. That's worldliness. Earrings was worldliness.
- 57:53Speaker 1: Wearing pants was worldliness. Wearing makeup was worldliness. Men having
- 57:58Speaker 1: long hair was worldliness. All of that was worldliness. It
- 58:02Speaker 1: was worldliness because they couldn't read good. Let me tell
- 58:07Speaker 1: you what's worldliness. The lust of the flesh. The lust
- 58:12Speaker 1: of the eye. And the pride of life. And you
- 58:15Speaker 1: can have them with earrings and with makeup and with
- 58:20Speaker 1: pants on and wear shorts. And you can go swimming
- 58:24Speaker 1: together and you can still be full of lust. In
- 58:26Speaker 1: a long dress down to your ankles and be lustful.
- 58:31Speaker 1: Dress on fire. Dress on fire all the way down
- 58:35Speaker 1: to your ankle. Dress smell like smoke. Lust of the flesh.
- 58:39Speaker 1: Lust of the eye. Yeah, I said it. I meant it.
- 58:43Speaker 1: I'm here to represent it. The lust of the flesh.
- 58:46Speaker 1: The lust of the eye. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus.
- 58:51Speaker 1: And the pride of life. Ain't nothing more prideful than
- 58:54Speaker 1: the whole church was with their big hats and their
- 58:57Speaker 1: high seats. Everybody had to look up and everybody had
- 59:01Speaker 1: to acknowledge you every time they got up. We had
- 59:04Speaker 1: given honor to the bishop. We said it 20 times.
- 59:07Speaker 1: And we still got to say it again. What is
- 59:10Speaker 1: more proudful than church folk? The devil is wreaking havoc
- 59:14Speaker 1: in the house of God. But I bind that spirit
- 59:18Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus. I bind that spirit in
- 59:22Speaker 1: the name of Jesus. I bind that spirit in the
- 59:25Speaker 1: name of Jesus. I bind that spirit in the name
- 59:28Speaker 1: of Jesus. Those three people, tell them, I got a
- 59:31Speaker 1: devil to fight. I got a devil to fight. I
- 59:37Speaker 1: got a devil to fight. I got a devil to fight.
- 59:40Speaker 1: He's been studying me and I've been studying him. And
- 59:44Speaker 1: I'm anointed for the altercation. I'm anointed to fight the
- 59:49Speaker 1: good fight of faith. I'm anointed to get the breakthrough.
- 59:52Speaker 1: You might have defeated a lot of people, but you're
- 59:55Speaker 1: not going to defeat me. A thousand shall fall at
- 59:59Speaker 1: my right side. 10,000 shall fall at my left side.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: It shall not come nigh me. It shall not come
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: nigh me. Y'all scared to say it. It shall not
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: come nigh me. Say it again. It shall not come.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. Shake your fist at
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: the devil and say it. I'm anointed to fight off
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: everything you tried to send to kill me. Look at me.
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: I'm 64 years old. I started preaching when I was 19.
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: They said I wouldn't last but two weeks. I was
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: scared they might be right. But I kept on fighting.
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: 19 turned to 20. 20 turned to 22. 22 turned
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: to 24. 24 turned to 28. 28 turned to 32.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: 32 turned to 38. 38 turned to fighting. Because somebody said,
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: I'm still in the fight. 42, turn to 46. 46,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: turn to 50. 50, turn to 52. 52, turn to 54.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: Tell your neighbor I'm still fighting. 54, turn to 58. 58,
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: turn to 60. 60, turn to 61. 61, turn to 62. 63,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: turn to 64. Slap your neighbor and say I'm still
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: in the fight. I'm anointed for this fight. I'm anointed
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: for this altercation. I'm anointed for this battle. God wouldn't
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: send Jesus in the wilderness till he anointed him in
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: the Jordan. And God won't send you into the battle
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: until he anoints you. That's why you can't sit up
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: in church with your lips glued together looking all cute.
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: But you got to open your mouth and receive the anointing.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: The anointing. The anointing, the anointing, the anointing you get
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: on Sunday is preparing you for Monday. The anointing you're
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: getting right now is preparing you for what you got
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: to deal with. When you're really anointed, it'll fall off
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: you like water off a duck's back. When you're really anointed,
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: the witch cannot hatch. When you're really anointed, the wicked
- 1:02:32Speaker 1: cannot do you in. I feel the anointing of the
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: Holy Ghost. Somebody in this room, some folk have been
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: trying to do everything they could to curse everything you did.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: But the reason you're still here is that you were
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: anointed for the altercation of And all God wants you
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: to do is learn how to give him the praise.
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: You didn't get here by yourself. You didn't stay here
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: by yourself. You didn't do this by yourself. You didn't
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: survive by yourself. If it weren't for the anointing, you
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: would have lost your mind. If it weren't for the anointing,
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: you would have threw in the towel. If it weren't
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: for the anointing, you'd have been in jail. If it
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: weren't for the anointing, you'd have had a needle in
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: your arm. I want some anointed folk to start praising
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: God for the power. for the power. You shall have power.
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: After that, the Holy Ghost has come upon you. You
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: shall have power. I decree and declare power over your life.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: I decree and declare power over your finances. I decree
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: and declare power over your emotions. I decree and declare
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: power in your family, power over your business, Y'all ain't
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: receiving nothing. I decree and declare. Power over your house.
- 1:04:07Speaker 1: Power over your dream. Power over your vision. I decree
- 1:04:12Speaker 1: and declare. No weapon formed against you shall be able
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: to prosper. I decree and declare. Your joy will be full.
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: I decree and declare. You shall be the head and
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: not the tail, above and not beneath. I decree and
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: declare every tactic that hell set against you. I send
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: it back. I send it back. I send it back.
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: In the name of Jesus, I decree and declare your
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: latter day shall be greater than your former day. I
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: decree and declare you go in better than you started.
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: I decree and declare a breakthrough is coming your way.
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: I decree and declare. You're coming out with power. You're
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: coming out with victory. You're coming out with anointing. You're
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: coming out with power. I decree and declare, you shall win.
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: You shall win. You shall not be defeated. You shall
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: not give up. You shall not give out. You shall
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: not fade. I dare you to open your mouth and
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: praise your God like you worship. I just need a
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: hundred people that'll jump out of the eye, up under
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: the anointing of the Holy Ghost, and fight that devil
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: out of your life. Fight him out of your body.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Fight him out of your spirit. Give me some shouting music.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: I feel the victory. Yes.
- 1:06:42Speaker 4: Yes.
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: You don't know it, but you're dancing on rattlesnakes. You're
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: dancing on serpents. You're dancing on Satan. You're dancing on evil.
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: You're dancing on fear. You're dancing on defeat. You shall
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: not die. but live and declare the works of the Lord.
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: You ain't seen nothing yet. The best is yet to come.
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: Open your mouth and give God praise. I dare you
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: to praise him. I dare you to praise him. Praise
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: him like you're a child of the king. Praise him
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: like you're a son of God. Praise him like the anointing.
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: Is on your head.
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: Praise him like you've been in the Jordan. Let everything
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: that I have, friend.

- 1:09:57Speaker 1: This is spiritual warfare. This is not AMC. This is
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: not a movie. This is a fight. When I say
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: praise him, you praise him. We are in a spiritual warfare.
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: Now sing it again. And everything in here, everything in
- 1:10:18Speaker 1: here needs to go in the war. Victory, we got it.
- 1:10:22Speaker 4: I got the victory.

- 1:10:45Speaker 2: This is for Richard.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: This is for Robin. This is for Johnny. This is
