TD Jakes - Jezebel's Voice · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Let us read the first through the third verse together.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and with.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: All how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah saying, so let
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the gods do to me and more also, if I
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: make not thy life as the life of one of
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: them by tomorrow about this time. And when he saw that,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: he arose and went for his life and came to Beersheba,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: which belongeth to Judah and left his servant there.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Can you say amen? Look at verse 2.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: the gods do to me, and more also, if I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: make not thy life as the life of one of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: them by tomorrow about this time.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Remain standing. We're going to pray.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: But I want to talk to you tonight about Jezebel's voice.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Jezebel's haunting, eerie, creepy, Intimidating. Her voice. If you overcome
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: her voice. You're going to move into another realm.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Of victory. The only thing standing in between you and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: your prophecy.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Your destiny. What God has ordained for you to have.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Last weapons. The devil hath left is Jezebel's.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Voice. I want to talk to you tonight about her voice.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Let's pray. Spirit of the living God, send an anointing.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: The kind of anointing that makes preaching relevant and simplistic
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and powerful and profound.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: In other words, we want you to preach tonight. We
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: came to hear you.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: All of us want to hear you preach tonight. You
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: don't preach tonight. We came for nothing. We're hungry to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: hear your word. Speak in this house. Give direction in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: this house. Give structure and order and revelation in this house.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: While these lips of clay are moving, Lord, I pray
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: that you would get in somebody's heart and speak a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: life-changing word. I believe you to do it. I thank
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you for it. In Jesus' name, amen. You may be
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: seated and seated in the presence of the Lord. There's
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: one thing that I have a great appreciation for. It
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: is God's word. This means so much to look into
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: his word. I think one of the great tragedies of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: our generation is that we have tended to move forward
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: away from the integrity of the text to superficial dispersions
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of human concepts and philosophies that do not bring life.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: We have raised up a generation whose whole message can
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: be deduced down to praise the Lord. Behind every song
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: and every message and every sermon is just a new
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: dress on the same thought, praise God. And as much
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: as I believe in praising God, still I am concerned
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: that we're not hearing much music or ministry that reflects
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the totality of all that God would say to his people.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Because when I get through praising him, I have got
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to fight the good fight of faith. And I need
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to hear some things that are going to arm me
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and fill my quiver with the kinds of arrows that
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: That allows me to penetrate the infrastructure of the enemy
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and get the victory.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Because I for one am tired of shouting.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: About something that I'm not possessing. David said he teaches
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: my fingers to woe. The apostle said we are not
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: ignorant of Satan's devices. Every now and then we have
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to call the camp in and have a meeting with
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the whole camp of Israel. So that we can instruct
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the next generation of Satan's devices. So that they will
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: not fall prey to the same things that we fell
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: prey to. For to be forewarned is to be forearmed.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: We've got to know what is going on. Jesus says
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: something to his disciples. He spent hours teaching and ministering
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to them. And I think we need more times of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: just teaching and ministry and sharing one with another. Not
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: just in church, but I mean at the restaurant and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: at the hotel and riding in the car. I think
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: we've got to move away from just superficial chit-chat and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: start using every opportunity to strengthen one another.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Because you don't know who's going through a fight right
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: around you.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I don't have time for mindless chatter.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about the stock market.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I need to understand some things that will cause me
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to be catapulted into my destiny. I am running out
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of time. The Bible says knowing the time. That it
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: is high time. See, when you know how late it is,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: there's a new maturity that comes up in you where
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you don't want to hear a lot of foolishness. Can
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you imagine what it would have been like to sit
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: up under Jesus' ministry? Every moment with him was an
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: opportunity to glean. I think that when we get around
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: truly great men and women of God, we need to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: be taught and shut up. Because you only have a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: few moments to catch the totality of what God has
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: invested in them in a whole lifetime.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: And you have to hear what the Spirit is saying
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to the child.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: To be around somebody who has been with God is
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: an awesome opportunity to glean wisdom. If you don't catch
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it all, just catch it a little bit. Just catch
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: it like the Syrophoenician, just catch a crumb.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Just get a crumb. Just a crumb. A crumb is.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Enough to change your life. And so Jesus taught while
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: they were on the boat. And he taught while they
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: were on the seashore. And he taught when they were
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: in the desert. And he taught when they were in
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the house. And when they invited him to dinner. He
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: taught while they were breaking bread together. When they walked
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: down the road to Emmaus. He was always teaching, teaching, teaching,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: teaching them because he knew that he only had a
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: certain amount of time to put a real deposit in them.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And after you get.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: The deposit, life is going to make a withdrawal and
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: woe be unto you if life withdraws more than God
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: has had an opportunity to deposit in your life.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Some of you now are operating in the red.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Because life It's withdrawing more than you have allowed God
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to deposit. And that's what causes your heart to be overwhelmed.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And that's what causes you to be stressed out. And
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that's what causes you to be intimidated when life draws
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: more than God has deposited. Jesus ministered. Through everything. He
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: ministered through taxes. He said, go down to the fish
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and get in the fish's mouth. I'll show you how
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to pull money out of his mouth. He ministered through
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the breaking of bread. He took it and blessed it
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and broke it and gave it to them and said, eat.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: And the Bible said that when they saw the breaking
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: of bread, their eyes were opened up.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: He ministered through sandwiches.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Two fish and five loaves of bread and said, let
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: me show you what I can do. If you go
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: through brokenness and still praise me, let me show you
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: how I can bless you through the breaking of bread.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: He said something amongst all of the many, many awesome, powerful,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: life-changing things that were said. Something that I want to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: use as a base to build on tonight.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He said, my sheep know my voice. And a stranger they.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Will not follow. I don't know about anybody else's sheep,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but he said, my sheep. I can't speak for the
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: general board and the committee and the willing to work
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: committee and the church.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Got it going on and incorporated.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I can't speak for all of the sects and divisions
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and groups and all. He said, but my sheep may
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: only be two on your whole pew, but he said,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: my sheep. We're living in a layer of the sin
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: age where God is calling a church out of a church.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: He's knocking on the door of church structure and say,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: he that hath.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: An ear, let him hear. He's knocking right at the.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Door and said, behold, I stand at the door and knock.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And if any man hear my voice, I may not
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: get in the whole thing, but if any man hear
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: my voice, I will come in.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And suck with him.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: And I shall be his God, and he shall be
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: my people. God will take you if he can't get
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: your whole house. He'll take you if he can't get
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the whole pew. He'll take you if he can't.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Get the whole committee. God said, if you open up,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I'll come in and suck with you.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: And as many of us have assumed the awesome task
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: of allowing him to break us and reshape us and
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: make us, we have earned the privilege of being called
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: his sheep.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are his.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I'm his. How about you?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: That's why there's certain things you can't do to me
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: because I'm his. He won't let you abuse me, but
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: so bad because I am his. He wants you to touch.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: It's not mine. Do my prophets know, huh? That boy
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: is mine.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: There was so much respect for it in the Old
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Testament that even in Saul's backslidden state, David was afraid
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: to touch him.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: He said, I won't touch him even in his sin.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: God's anointing. Oh, y'all don't hear what I'm saying.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Some things I don't even say nothing about. Because if
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I see God's anointing on you, I don't touch it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: You might not do it like I do it. You
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: may not skip like I skip. You may not dance
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: like I dance. But if I see God's anointing on you,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I don't say nothing about it. Because if it's alright
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: with God, it's alright with me.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: It's alright with He said, my sheep know my voice.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: They're not figuring out. They're not wondering about it. They're
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: not going on to a fast trying to study it out.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: They absolutely emphatically.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Know my voice.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Not my word, my voice. See, this generation is all
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: into knowing his word. And it's nice to know his word.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: But the devil knows his word. It's not enough to
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: know his word. When you're going through hell and high water, baby,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you got to know his voice. When you got two
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: or three or four doors open up to you and
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: you don't know whether it's door number one, door number two,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: door number three, door number four, door number five. It's
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: not enough to know his word. You have to know
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: his voice. Which one will speak to my heart?
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, show me.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Which job do I take? Which one do I marry?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Which business do I go into? Do I buy this
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: or not buy? I need to know your voice. Some
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of you are in trouble right now.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Because you listen to the wrong.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Voice. You're living in hell right now because you listen
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to the wrong voice.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You're working a.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Job that feels like a prison because you listen to
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: the wrong voice.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I want him to touch marriage. He says, my sheep. No,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: my voice.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: But notice, he didn't say my lambs. See, in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: lamb state, you don't know his voice. You have to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: mature and go from being a lamb to being a sheep.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: He said, I can't speak for the elementary stages of
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: your Christian development. In the juvenile searchings and seekings of
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: your development, you may be uncertain. But as you come
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: into your own and develop a state of maturity. Paul says,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: when I was a child, I thought as a child.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I speak as a child. Understood as a child. But
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: when I became a man, I put away childish things.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: This is not boy talk. This is man talk. This
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: is not lamb talk. This is sheep talk.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: My sheep.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: It's a shame and an insult for you to walk
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: with God a long time and still not know his
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: voice it's an insult for you to walk with God
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: a long time and still be unstable jumping from church
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: to church and place to place and ministry to ministry
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: and man to man and after you've been with him
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: a long time when you say you heard from God
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: we expect you to know that you have heard Because
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the book said, my sheep know my voice. And a stranger,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: they will not follow. Excuse me, but I've been walking
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: with God too long to follow just anything. I don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: shout off of just anything. I don't dance off of
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: just anything. You can't hand me no junk. And then
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: ask me why I don't flow with it. Because I've
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: been walking with him long enough that I.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Know His voice.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: When you know his voice, you'll recognize that I don't
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: care what kind of box it comes wrapped in. It
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: might be in a white box. It might be in
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a black box. It might be in a brown box.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: But if you're listening for his voice, you don't care
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: nothing about the box. You just want to get the voice.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: It might come to a woman. It might come to
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a man. He may even use a child. But if
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: you learn his voice, you can hear him speak through
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: your children. I know this sounds kind of crazy. But
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: when you really... Know his voice. You can overhear your
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: children playing and God can use something that they said
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to speak to your heart. When you really know his voice,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: God can speak to you through a commercial. He can
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: speak to you through a road sign on the highway
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: when you know.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You got to know his voice.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: My Pentecostal upbringing causes me to put a great deal
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: of significance on the tongue. It is our conviction that
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the tongue and the speaking thereof in the language of
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the Spirit is the initial evidence of being filled with
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. That through that tongue, the gifts of
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: the Spirit begin to operate and word of knowledge, word
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: of wisdom, prophecies and all types of miracles and signs
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and wonders are evolved out of that initial experience that
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Acts 1 and 8 declares ye shall receive power after
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: that the Holy Ghost has come upon you and also
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: in Acts 2 they speak as the Spirit of God
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: gave utterance in Acts 10 they spoke again as the
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Spirit of God gave utterance in Acts 19 19 years
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: after the day of Pentecost they were still speaking in
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: tongues as the Spirit of God gave utterance the Apostle
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Paul said I thank God I speak in tongues more
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: than ye all so we understand the power of the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: tongue but After walking with God a long time, I
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: moved into another regime of truth and integrity. And I
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: didn't learn it so much from theology. I learned it
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: from a speech therapist. So I notice that when you
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: bring children to a speech therapist and they notice that
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the therapist has a, that the child has an impediment
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: that they do not speak correctly or precisely, I would
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: have thought immediately they would x-ray the throat and check
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: out the larynx and check out the voice box, but
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: that's not where they start. Whenever there is a problem
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: with the child's ability to articulate or speak specifically, they
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: do not check the tone, the lips, the mouth, or
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the esophagus. Where they start their research is with the ear.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Because the first thing that makes them suspicious that there
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: is a speech impediment evolves around the fact that they
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: must not be able to hear. Because the speaking of
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: the mouth is just an outflowing of what the ear
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: has taken in. It is, are you getting where I'm
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: saying tonight? It is their conviction, therefore, that the first
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: most logical problem that needs to be eradicated immediately is
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: the possibility that maybe the child is not speaking correctly
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: because he or she is not hearing correctly. Now, when
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I heard that, I began to suddenly recognize that Jesus
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: didn't spend a whole lot of time talking to people
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: about tongues.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: But he did say, he that hath an ear. He
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: that hath an ear.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the church.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: You see, the reason I speak English is because I
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: heard my parents speaking in English. And I begin to
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: speak out of my mouth what I heard with my ear.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: If I had heard them speak Russian, I would have
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: spoken out of my mouth what I heard.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Heard with my ear.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And so Jesus is not so worried about trying to
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: get us to speak.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: He's trying to get us to hear.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Because if we can hear what the Spirit is saying,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: then utterly the mouth will always speak.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: What the ear can hear. He....
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Touch somebody and say, can you hear him? You've got
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: to be able to hear him. You'll never be able
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: to speak if you can't hear him. You won't even
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: be able to speak in tongues if you can't.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Cannot hear. Hear him.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: The Bible said in Acts 2 that they speak, they speak,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: they speak, they speak as the Spirit of God gave
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: them utterance, language, glossolalia, the ability to speak. In other words,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: their mouth imitated what their ear heard. Anybody who has
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the baptism of the Holy Spirit will tell you that
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: you can hear the Holy Ghost speaking inside.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Of you even when you don't open your mouth.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: You.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you can't speak out of your mouth what you
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: hear in your spirit. You're sitting at work at the computer.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: You're operating at the terminal. People are gathered all around you.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden the Holy Ghost starts speaking down
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: in your belly. You can hear it in your spirit,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: but you choose not to speak it out of your mouth.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Whenever you do speak, you are only speaking out what
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: you hear.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Hear that hand and hear.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: If you can hear what the Holy Ghost is speaking,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: then it's your job to give vent out of your
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: mouth to what you have.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Heard with your ear.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So the real challenge to teaching people how to move
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: into deeper levels of spirituality is not to get them
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: to speak.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: It is to get them to hear.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Because there is no way you can hear heaven's language
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: in your ear and not speak.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: It out of your mouth.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Sooner or later, you will open up your mouth and
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: begin to speak outwardly what you hear inwardly.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: The inner ear. I heard him. He called me to preach.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: And I heard him.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: He told me which woman was my woman. He said,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: not her, not her, not her, not her.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: That one. And I heard you.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I'm happy right now because I heard you. I didn't
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: know how to pick a wife then that would fit me.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Now, but I heard him.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't know what I was going to be doing
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: 20 years later, but I heard him. If you can
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: hear what God is saying, God will cause you to
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: make decisions now that bless you for the next 20
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: years if you come here.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Every blessing you ever got, it wasn't because you were smart.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: It's just that you fooled around and hurt him. People
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: are jealous of you right now. They don't know that
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: it's not that you got it going on. You don't
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: know how to raise children like that. You didn't know
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: how to budget your finances like that.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: You didn't know how to buy that property or build
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: that building. But those three people tell him, I heard him.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: I heard him. I heard him. I heard him. That's
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: how I got it. I heard him. I heard him.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: That's how I got out of debt. I heard him.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: That's how I got the victory. That's how I overcame
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the fight.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I heard him. Well, let's set the salad to the
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: side and move to the entree. Enough of that lettuce.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Let's get down to something we can really chew.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I love the.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Old Testament because it affords me the privilege and the
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: opportunity to of looking into the lifestyles of the people
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that God used. Unlike the New Testament, which is preoccupied
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: with concepts, the Old Testament goes deeper than just teaching
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: the concepts and allows me to examine the character of
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the men who developed the concepts. That is important to
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: me because I need to see common, ordinary people.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Like me being used of God.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I need to be able to see their strengths and
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: weaknesses because I begin to understand that if God could
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: use David, Then maybe, just maybe, he can still use
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: me if God.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Can use Ezekiel.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe, just maybe, he can still use me if God
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: can use Jeremiah who backslid and quit preaching and said,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not going.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: To be bothered with none of them. No more, ever,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: no time.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: And still the word of the Lord was like fire
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: shut up in his bones. Then maybe God can still
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: use me. Ezekiel told God, when God asked Ezekiel, can.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: The bones live again? He said, Lord, thou knowest.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: If you can get the victory in a valley full
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: of dry bones, even though you don't even have enough
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: faith to know whether they can get up again, then maybe.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: God can still. If God can use Rahab, then maybe
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: God can still use me.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: If God can use Ruth the Moabitess, the idolatrous woman,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: then maybe God can still use me. If God can
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: use Tamar who slept with her father-in-law and had two children,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: two twins born out of an illicit affair. If God
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: can allow her to be in the lineage of Jesus Christ,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: then maybe, just maybe, just maybe, just maybe, just maybe,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: God can still use me. Maybe he can look beyond
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: my fault and see my need. Maybe God can.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Somebody say he can still use you.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I know you're messed up, but he can still use you.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I know people are talking about your past, but he
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: can still use you. I know people are turning up
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: their nose and they don't believe you're saying right now, but.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: God can still use.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: You. We look at the peaks and the valleys of
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: life because life is a roller coaster. It's not a
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: straight line between two points. It has many twists and turns,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: peaks and valleys, pinnacles and ravines. It has many elevations
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: in life. Then there are moments that you cascade down
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: into the depths of despair and think that you will
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: never get out again but go. And when we begin
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: to look at Elijah, we are looking at one of
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: the peaks. He comes on the scene on Mount Carmel.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: He is God's man of faith and power. He stands
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: against 450 prophets.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: He confronts every last one of them.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: He is indignant and full of rage because they have
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: dared to insist that their God is the true God.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It's a shovel.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: And he commands that ditches be dug. And they dug
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: ditches around the altar. And then they took stones and
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: laid stones in the midst of the ditches. And then
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: they put wood on top of the stones. And then
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: they put the sacrifice on top of that. And they
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: filled the ditches with water. And then he said, now
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: if your God... is everything that you say here. Get
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: your God to answer by fire and consume. And the
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: 450 prophets, all of them got together.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Incantations, hexes, spells.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Curses, demonic powers, satanism, witchcraft, all of the black magic
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: that they could muster still could not conjure up a
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: God who could answer them. They became so frustrated that
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: in their frustration they began to bicker and to cut
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: themselves with knives because suddenly they recognized the disgrace.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Of following a God that has no power. When they finally...
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I feel like preaching tonight, you know. When they were.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Finally exasperated, he said, step back, boys, and let me
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: show you what a real God will do. He began
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: to call on a God who can answer. What I
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: like about God is when you call him, he will
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: answer you. You're not serving some little God that was
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: carved out of stone or made out of wood. You're
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: not serving no God you had to buy at the
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: store and set up on your mantel. You're not serving
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: a God that was made out of a clay pot
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: that some old lady set up and painted his face
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: on here.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: No, I serve a risen Savior. He's in the world today.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: If you call him, he will act.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: The Bible said this is the confidence that we have
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: in him that if we ask anything according to his will,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: he fearest us. I don't know who I'm preaching to tonight,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: but you've been in a fight with the enemy and
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: the enemy's trying to make you think that your God
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: don't love you.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: But that devil is a liar. The Lord sent.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Me here to tell you he heard you. He's already
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: heard you.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: And help is on the way.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: He's an answering God.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: He's a prayer answering, devil chasing, cancer rebuking, mind regulating,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: heart fixing God. He's a God who sits on the
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: circle of the earth and he's got all power in
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: his hand. He's a God whose ear is not heavy
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: that he cannot hear and his arm is.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Not short that he cannot say.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: He told Jeremiah, call upon me and see if I
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: will now answer you if you call on Jesus he will.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Answer you he is the God now who answers a
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: fire good God almighty fire.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yes I'm not talking about some little butane fire.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not talking about some little matchstick fire. I'm not
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: talking about the fire you cook your chicken with. I'm
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: talking about a supernatural Holy Ghost fire. For the Bible
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: said that when he answered by fire, now there's something
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: that this fire did that is distinct.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I wasn't too impressed.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: When it burned up the wood because any fire will
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: burn up wood. But when the Bible said it licked
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: up the water. I start recognizing that natural fire is
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: put out by water. But God's got a fire that
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: water can't put out. He's got a fire. If it
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: ever starts burning in you, can't nobody fan it out.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Can't nobody dilute it out. Can't nobody sprinkle it out.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: If God ever sets your life on fire, touch.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Somebody and tell them I'm on fire.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I hate to keep jumping up in front of you, baby,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: but I'm on fire. I hate to keep dancing on
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: your shoe, but I'm on fire.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't mean to step on.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Your pocketbook, madam, but I'm on fire. I know I
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: shout too loud, but I... It lit up the walls.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: And then it burned up the stones. God's got a
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: fire that'll burn up a rock. It'll burn up the
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: hard things in your life. That thing that's standing up
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: in your life and saying, I will not move, the
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: devil is a liar. If you call fire down on
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: that thing, God will burn it up. That thing that's
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: standing up in your finances and saying, I'm too hard
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: to be moved, that devil is a liar. If you
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: call fire now, God's going to burn that thing up.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: In fact, I want you to know before the year
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: is out, you're going to see God burning up things
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: that the devil lifted up in your face.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: That rock is about to burn.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Out of you, all right?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Talk to me, people.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Tell them, this is my year. This is my time
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: to be blessed. This is my time to come into
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: my own. God's going to burn every stone out of
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: my way. God's going to burn every rock out of
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: my way. God's going to lick the.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Water out of my way. He promised me fire.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I will have it.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I must have it. I shall have it. I prayed
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: for it, and it's coming. It's coming.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: It's coming.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: In fact, God said, get ready, get ready, get ready.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Get ready, get ready, get ready.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Shake somebody's hand like you're going to shake it off
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: and tell them this is your year for fire. This
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: is your year for fire. This is your year for fire. 1997,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: this is your year for fire. That's why the devil
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: comes out. This is your year. No weapon formed against
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: you shall be able to pass by. This is your year.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Somebody shout, fire!
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: That's what I want you to do next time you
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: come up against a rock in a hard place and
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: the devil's laughing at you and saying, I'm going to
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: mess with you. I don't care if he's in the
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: operating room. I don't care if he's looking at the
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: x-rays out of the doctor's office. And he says, madam,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: you got cancer. Just stand right over top of the
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: desk and shout, fire! Going to bank where they said
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: they're not going to let you build that house. And
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: they said they weren't going to give you the money.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: But stand right over top of the desk and say fire.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: You're a God.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: You're a consuming fire.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Before you sit down and touch hands with three people,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: tell them get ready for fire this year. Yes. That
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: fire he told you about in January. That fire he
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: promised you at the beginning of the year. That fire
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: he told you he.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Was going to give you. Get ready for it. Get
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: ready for it. Get ready. Get ready. Get ready. Get ready. Woo!
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: You're not holding up?
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Let me preach on. Let me preach on here. Shondo.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: He calls fire down from heaven.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Destroyed the prophets of Baal and went on with the victory. God,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: who has began a good work in you, shall perform
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: it unto the day of Jesus Christ. Amen. I don't
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: know why it is, but I feel like I'm preaching
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: right directly to somebody in this room. But at the
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: end of the pinnacle of power and the excellence and
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: exaltation of victory, he comes down off of Mount Carmel
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: with the smell of smoke still in his clothes.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Victory in his mind.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Dancing in his feet, he comes down off of Mount Carmel,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: having made an open display of the principalities and powers.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: That were trying to bind up his life.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: He came down off of Mount Carmel in a spirit
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: of exuberation and exultation because God had proven once again his.
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Faithfulness, his might. His anointing and his victory.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, when you go through something like that
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: and you come down, anybody looking at you can tell
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: you got the victory. It'll make you kind of pimp
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit. You know what I'm talking about?
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, it will. If your sister, it'll make you kind
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: of sash a little bit.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: When you beat the devil back out of your house
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: and off your children, it'll make you kind of strut.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: And Ahab, oh, carnal, half-delivered, flu foot, partially religious, one
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: foot in.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: The church, one foot in the world.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Ahab was gossiping to his sneaky, low-down, treacherous Despicable, cunning, vicious,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: venomous wife, Jezebel.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Jezebel.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: The tramp the enemy sent to infiltrate the Israelites. The
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: slut the enemy sent behind the ranks of the righteous
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: to plant a seed of idolatry To diffuse the glorious
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: light of the gospel of God himself.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Jezebel. You know her. The cunning trick of the enemy.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: One of his tools that he used to come against Israel.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: He sent old Jezebel. You understand her. You often hear
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: about Jezebel's paints. and the old church used to talk
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: about Jezebel and they used her to talk about makeup
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: they talked about Jezebel because she painted her face and
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: they thought that if they would teach the women not
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: to paint their face they could destroy the spirit of
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Jezebel but they didn't know that it's not something you
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: buy in a bottle it's a spirit It's not something
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: you push out of a tube.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: It's a spirit.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: That you can stop her paint. But you can't stop
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: her spirit. She was treacherous. She was cunning.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: She was far worse than Delilah. Jezebel. That snake that
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: slithered into the camp of Israel. And attached herself.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: To the king of Israel and tied herself around the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: waist of Ahab. And began to suck the strength out
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: of his life. Until he was so weakened and broken down.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: That he was diluted in his theology. Polluted in his praise.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: And a disgrace to his calling. Because he had entered
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: into covenant with a snake. He had married Chazabek. Jezebel,
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: the secret weapon of the devil. Whenever he gets ready
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: to destroy the integrity of the righteous, he'll do it
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: by getting you to enter into relationship with Jezebel. For
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: whosoever you lend your members to, that becomes your Lord.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: If it's got your body, it's got you.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Jezebel!
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: She was more Then gussied and gaudy. She was lewd
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: and promiscuous. She had no morality and no standing. She
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: was a tramp of the lowest kind. And she had
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: attached herself not to one of the barbaric dogs, not
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: to one of the uncircumcised Philistines.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: No, she had attached.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Herself to Israel itself because there's something about evil that
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: is never satisfied until it enters into covenant with somebody
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: that's right.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Whenever you're on your way up, the enemy.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Will always send a false friend. Somebody that the devil
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: sends to say, I know you're going through something. And
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I know you've been kind of lonely. And I just
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: come into your life to be your friend. I come
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: to tell you, don't you take everybody to be your friend.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I don't care how lonely you are. Don't take everybody
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: to be your friend. Go ahead and cry if you
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: got to cry. But don't take everybody to be your friend.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and rock yourself to sleep. But don't take
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: everybody to be your friend. Take your pillow and use
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: it as if it was a person and hug it.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: But don't take.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Because God sent me to warn you against Jezebel. She
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: has attached herself like a sucker on an ear of
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: corn to draw the life out of their praise, out
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: of their worship, out of their consecration. And the longer
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: she was there, the weaker they got. she tore down
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: their worship because the thing that the devil is always
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: jealous about is the worship of God. And so he
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: will send anything into your life to get you so
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: tied up that you stop worshiping.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Watch out for those things that come in.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Your life and they stop you from going to church.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: It's the spirit of Jezebel. You're too tired to go.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: You're too busy to go. Anything to break down your worship,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: you got to stay home and watch your car. You
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: got to do this and you got to do that
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: and you got to watch the stock market and you
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: got to carry your kids to the football game.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: What's up? Sheila!
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: And if you do come, she'll let you sit there
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: and be so self-righteous and sanctimonious. that you're just too
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: intelligent to shout like that, aren't you? Oh, no, no,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: you're just not that kind of person, are you?
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: You're not emotional, are you?
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: But I saw you at the football game, knocking popcorn
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: over in the floor, threw your hot dog down in
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: somebody's lap, started jumping like a monkey over.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: A game, and yet, You, sir, are married to a
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: spirit of Jezebel. Watch out for Jezebel.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: She'll intimidate you and you don't want your coworkers to
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: see you on TV dancing.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: What would the.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Boys think had worked if they saw tears gushing down
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: your face?
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: It is the spirit of Jezebel. She wants to rob
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: God of his glory.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: When they told Jezebel that the prophet Elijah had withstood
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: her teachings and her adulterous manipulation of theology had withstood
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: her cunning sexuality.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: Had not bowed to the shrine of her lust. When
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: they told Jezebel.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: That one man had said no. To her lewd conduct.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: That one man had stood up against the temptation. To
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: lay in her lust ridden arms.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: When they told Jezebel.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: That one man had withstood 450 of her prophets.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: And all of them were dead. She was redeemed.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: She was furious because anytime you don't bow to the enemy,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: he gets indignant. Somebody asked me, what did I think
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: about the fight between Holyfield and Tyson? And I said,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: the only thing wrong with the fight is that they
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: had all of the men making comments were sportscasters. And
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: they knew about sports, but they didn't know about God.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I wish they'd have let a preacher comment on the fight. See,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: you have to know something about God to understand what
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: happened in the ring. Now, normally, God don't be bothered
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: with no boxing matches. But when old Holyfield came in
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: there talking about, I will dance.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Let David dance.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: It turned that thing from a natural fight into spiritual warfare.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Anytime you come against an enemy in the name of
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: the Lord, demons get upset. Hell starts itching. Principalities get nervous.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: I know Tyson don't know what came over him. It
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: wasn't Tyson. It was the enemy.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Anytime you come in the name of the.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Lord, that devil gets upset. He got so mad, he
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: broke the rules. He broke the rules and endangered his career.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Endangered his, but nobody would do that in their right mind.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: The spirit of the enemy looked out through leering treacherous
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: eyes and saw that boy dancing in the Holy Ghost.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: And he hated his dance so bad.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: He really did.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not shocked. That's the same thing the devil's been
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: doing for years.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: When you start dancing, the devil wants to bite your ear.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: But I'm glad greater is he than it is us.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Just somebody tell him I may be bitten, but I'm
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: not beaten. That old devil, he might have bitten, but
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not beaten. He might have bitten, but I'm not beaten.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get the victory. I may be bleeding,
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to get the victory. I may be hurting,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to get the victory. I may be embarrassed,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to get the victory. When it's all
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: said and done, it is not by might. No by power,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: but by my spirit. Say it for the Lord.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Say it. Touch some of the people and shout victory.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: That's what he's going to give you. That's what he's
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: going to give you. That's what he's going to give you.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: That's what he's going to give you.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: That.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: That. That.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: He's going to give you victory. He's going to give
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: you victory. He's going to give you victory. He's going
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: to give you victory. Stand. Having done all the stand. Stand.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: So when Jezebel.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: Heard about Elijah, she was furious with the kind of
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: rage that only comes from demonic interference. Can I preach
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: this thing tonight? She could have sent chariots against him.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: But she didn't. She could have sent soldiers after him.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: But she didn't. She could have threw a knife. But
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: she didn't. Shot an arrow. But she didn't. She opened
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: her mouth and cleared her throat and sent her voice.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Against him.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: She never laid a hand on him. She didn't even
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: spit on him. She sent her voice against him because
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: she knew the power of a voice. She just threatened
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: him and said so let the gods do to me
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: if by tomorrow about this time I have not destroyed
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: She didn't touch him. She just threatened him. And the
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: same man who called fire down on Mount Carmel and
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: withstood 450 prophets of Baal stepped right in the midst
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: of witchcraft and overthrew principalities and powers.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: The same man.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Who had the courage enough to face death for his
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: conviction was terrified.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Not over a woman, but over her foes. She sent
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: her mouth against him.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Whenever you're on the verge of success, the enemy will
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: send his mouth.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Against you.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: You're looking for him to fight you in the physical,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: but no, no, no, no, no. You're too strong for that.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: He's going to change his weaponry. He will open his
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: mouth against you. She opened her mouth and said, what? Now,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: you don't understand that if you don't understand what the
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: New Testament said when it said the enemy goeth about.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: As a roaring lion. Not a biting lion. A roaring.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Lion.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: It's not his teeth you have to worry about. It's
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: his voice. He roars against you.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: For if you understand anything about the lion, whenever he
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: gets ready to attack his prey, he knows that technically
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: he can't outrun the rabbit. But if he can terrify
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: the rabbit, it will lock up the rabbit's ability to
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: be mobile. What he does, he paralyzes the rabbit with fear.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: He roars so loud.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: That the rabbit forgets he can move. And stands there
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: in terror so that he can devour him.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: And that's what the devil wants to do to you.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: He wants to roar against you so that you forget
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: how to pray. And you forget how to dance. And
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: you forget what God told you he was going to
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: do in your life. And you're standing there scared to
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: death over his wrath.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: You don't understand.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: This unless you've been to elementary school like I did.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: Got through third period. Getting ready to go to lunch
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: at your locker. Getting your little lunch box out. And
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: had somebody come over to the locker and say, after school,
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tear you up.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to beat you like I own you. When
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: that bell rings at 3 o'clock, it's going to be
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: me and you. Meet me after school.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: And the whole rest of the day, You're walking around saying,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: but I didn't say what they said that I said
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: about him. And I don't understand why they're going to
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: jump on me. I didn't think about that. And I
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: don't know what I'm going to do. And you can't think.
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: And you flunk the test. And you can't add. And
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: you can't multiply. And you can't subtract. And the boy
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: didn't even touch you.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: He just sent his phone. Shut up, man. Send her
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: voice against him. Her voice. Her voice.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: And the Lord gave me this message to minister to
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: the church because some of you are living with Jezebel's voice.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Jezebel's voice is a threat hanging over your life where
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: the devil says you know your mama died of cancer
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: you gonna get it too and no matter how successful
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: you are in the back of your mind you hear
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: that threat you gonna get it too Your daddy couldn't
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: stay with your mama. You're not going to be able
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: to stay with your wife either.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: The threat. You know your brother's an alcoholic. You're going
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: to go back to drinking too. The threat. He doesn't
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: touch you.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: He just threatens you. You got a couple of bills
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: passed due. And he can let you see them taking
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: your house and taking your car. And you can see
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: yourself pushing a cart down the street, starving to death
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: and broke without a home.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: It's a threat.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: His voice hanging over your head robs you of the
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: moments of victory that God has given you.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, you got the victory. Yeah, you got the victory.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: But the problem is if you don't get rid of
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: the voice, you can't enjoy it. Because somewhere in the
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: back of your mind While you're eating dinner and when
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: you're laying in the bed at night and when you're
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: driving your nice little car to your nice little job
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: to your nice little office to get your nice little check.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: You know what Jezebel's voice is saying to you? It
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: ain't going to last.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Somewhere while you're laying in the arms of your husband
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: or your wife and you finally found somebody. who appreciates
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: you and loves you and cares about you and things
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: are finally starting to go good for you. You can't
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: even relax in a moment of embrace because in the
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: back of your mind, Jezebel's voice is saying, it ain't
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: going to last. And so you're in a place of blessings,
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: but you don't feel blessed and you don't react blessed
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: because if the enemy can't stop you from being blessed,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: he'll haunt you with a threat. You're going to die.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: What about your children? Have you ever had a little threat? Now, shh,
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: because I know you ain't told nobody. Jezebel's voice just
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: whispers in your ear, nobody knows but you. That down
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: on the inside, you are scared to death that this
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: is not going to last. You're dealing With Jezebel's.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Voice.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: You can't even take a decent shower without feeling for
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: lumps in your breast. Ain't nothing wrong, but the devil
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: threatened you. Say, you know, your sister got breast cancer.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: You gonna get it too. It is Jezebel's voice. You
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: hear how quiet it's gotten?
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: You know why it's gotten quiet?
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Because Jezebel is nervous. God sent me after her voice.
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: Watch out, Jesse, I'm coming to get you. I'm coming to.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Get you, girl. You come to kill and steal and destroy.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: You want to rob us of peace and victory and anointing,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: but hey, ho, devil, you got to go.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: The voice. of Jezebel.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: It's the voice that made the prophet hide behind the tree.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: And the mighty man of God wanted to die. After
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: just having great victory in his life, he sunk into
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: such depression that he absolutely wanted to die. He despaired
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: of life. Not because of a knife or a gun.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: He was worried about Jezebel's voice. What do I do
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: if things go wrong? What do I do if I
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: don't get out of this? What do I do if
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: I come home from work and you're gone? What do
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: I do if they lay me off? What do I
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: do if my stepchildren break my heart and tell me
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: I am not their real mother anyway? What do I
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: do if my marriage falls apart Like last time, it
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: is the voice of Jezebel.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, it doesn't use makeup. It's dressed up in depression and.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Discouragement and fear and anxiety. Jezebel's voice will cause you
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: to get indigestion. You can buy a steak but you
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: can't digest it. You got a brand new bed but
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: you can't sleep in it. You got a wonderful house
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: but you can't rest in it. It is the voice
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: of Jezebel taunting you, haunting you. You're scared to get
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: a certified letter. You're scared to open up a mailbox.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: You're scared when the phone rings. You're scared every board meeting,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: every business meeting, every time your husband calls and says,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: I got something I need to talk to you about.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: You're scared.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: You're washing his clothes and searching his pockets and looking
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: for notes. You're scared.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: It is the voice.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Of Jezebel taunting you and flaunting you hindering you every
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: time she spends too long or talks to anybody you
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: can't even hold a conversation for looking to see who
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: she's talking to because you have been hurt before and
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Jezebel's voice is telling you.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: It's going to happen again and oh you.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: Dance and oh you shout and yes you leap and
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: run up and down the house but still in spite
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: of all of that.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: You can still hear Jezebel's voice.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: Made the mighty man want to die. I wonder tonight,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: have anybody in this room ever heard Jezebel's voice? It
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: brought him to the juniper tree and he thought that
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: he was going to die. And at his lowest moment
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: in total despair and debauchery, it looked like things were
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: going to come to an end. But in the moment
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: of his greatest defeat, God sent an angel. Have you
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: ever had God send an angel? Just at the nick
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: of time when you're about to break down from the
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: pressure and stress and you say, my God, I can't
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: take anymore. Isn't it amazing how God will send you
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: what you need when you need it to get out
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: of a rut? Have you ever had God come like
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: a paramedic?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: He comes in to the middle of a wreck.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: He comes in the middle of a crisis and says,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: I love you too much to leave you hurting like this.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: I love you too much to leave you in pain
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: like this.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: I love you too much.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: And the Bible said that he went in the strength
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: of that meat for 40 days. Some of you right now,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: you're going in the strength of a meat that you
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: don't even know where it came from. Just at the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: moment of your greatest weakness, God sent you help. You
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: don't even know what encouraged you. But God sent help.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: You went to bed depressed and woke up happy. You
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: don't even know what you're happy about. But isn't it
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: amazing how God will step in.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: And encourage you?
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: Have you ever gotten encouraged and you couldn't even tell
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: anybody what you're encouraged about? Have you ever got excited
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: and couldn't even tell anybody what you were excited about?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Have you ever went to bed worried and got up dancing?
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: The Bible said weeping may endure for a night, but joy.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Come up in the morning.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: He went in the strength of that meat for 40 days,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: 40 days, 40 days, 40 days.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: And then he found himself back up in a cave.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: Have you ever gotten out of one thing and now
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: you're into something else? And the moment you get this straight,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: now you got to deal with that. And the moment
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: you get through with that, you got to deal with
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: the other.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: And now you're back.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: In a cave again. You're in the cave and the
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: devil said, uh-huh, you thought you was free, didn't you?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: You thought you was loose. You thought you was delivered.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: But here comes that same old spirit back. Here comes
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: that same old depression. Here comes that old fear back again.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: But let me tell you something. The reason God let
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: it come back again is because God has promised to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: utterly destroy the works of the enemy in your life.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: And you might be in a cave right now where
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: you can't get out and you can't get loose and
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: you can't get free. But I want you to get ready.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: God's going to send a word that delivers you. He's
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: going to speak in your life tonight. You might be
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: watching by television. But God is getting ready to come
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: and rescue you. He's getting ready to pull you out.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: He's getting ready to set you free.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: You need a word from God.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: He's coming to get you. He's coming to get you.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: He's coming to get you. He's coming to get you.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: He's coming to get you. He's coming to get you.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: Your mama left you. Your daddy left you. Your husband
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: left you. Your wife left you. Your friends left you.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: You lost your job. The enemy's trying to tell you
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: you're losing your mind. He's telling you you're having a
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: nervous breakdown, but the devil is a liar. Your God
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: is about to raise you up. I came to serve
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: notice on the devil. Devil, your time is up. Your
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: reign of terror is up. You thought you had us,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: but God is about to give us a breakthrough.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Touch three people and tell them I'm coming out of this.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: I'm coming out. I'm coming out. I'm coming out. I'm
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: coming out of this. I'm coming out.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know when.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know where. I don't know how. I don't
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: know who. I don't know what, but I've got to
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: get out of here. I've got to get out of here.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I've got to get out of here. I've got to
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: get out of here. I've got to get out of here.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: I've got to get out of here. I've got to
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: get out of here.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: I've got to get out of here.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: I've got to get out of here. I've got to
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: get out of here. I've got to get out of here.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: I've got to get out of here.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: I've got to get out of here. I've got to
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: get out of here.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: I've got to get out of here.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: I've got to.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Get out of here.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Tell somebody, tell them, excuse me, I'm coming out. I
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: know you're used to me being depressed, but I'm coming
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: out of this. I know you're used to me being worried,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: but I'm coming out of this. I know you're used
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: to having to encourage me, but I'm coming out of this.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I know you normally have to loan me some money,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: but I'm coming out of this. I will come out.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: I will. I will.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Somebody say, here comes Jesus.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: I want to turn notice on you. You've been in
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: the cave, but here comes Jesus. You've been in a depression,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: but here comes Jesus. You've been in a rut, but
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: here comes Jesus. You've been overwhelmed, but here comes Jesus.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Thought you wasn't going to make it, but here comes Jesus.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: He's coming into your trouble. He's coming into your crisis.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: He's coming into your store. He's coming into your living room.

• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: Here comes Jesus. The Lord is here. The Lord is here.

  Speaker 1: The Lord is here. Somebody give him a praise.
