[00:00:02] at the cross be the dead I broke my chain for the first time let's go ahead
[00:04:23] and give him praise and thank him for the blood thank you Jesus that you shed
[00:04:28] your precious blood on the cross Lord for our sins to give us power and
[00:04:33] victory over the devil to give us healing Lord you said by your stripes we
[00:04:37] were healed Lord you've provided everything that we need and we thank
[00:04:42] you for that we're gonna believe and walk in faith that you are the same
[00:04:45] yesterday today and forever we are grateful that the blood you shed that
[00:04:50] your death your sinless blood was shed there Lord to give us the keys of hell
[00:04:57] and death Lord that we can have victory over the powers of darkness that we can
[00:05:01] have authority that we become sons and daughters of God Almighty with authority
[00:05:07] and power over Satan and demons God we thank you for that and it's in Jesus
[00:05:13] name we pray amen amen well you may be seated this morning welcome everybody man
[00:05:20] everybody's well that's nice see everybody back we survived another
[00:05:25] biological attack all right it's crazy from December on I do feel like now I
[00:05:34] know which direction we're going this morning so I was firing Kelsey a bunch
[00:05:39] of stuff to put up on the screen here in a minute so she's madly working
[00:05:44] back there but let's go to 1st Peter chapter 5 and we're going to title this
[00:05:54] knowing your adversary a lot of you think you know him there's a lot of
[00:06:00] Christians that think they know spiritual warfare and they're getting all locked
[00:06:05] up in the devil's traps but I believe we need to read some scriptures and
[00:06:11] where I'm gonna show you some stuff it's troubling today and I I spent a
[00:06:15] lot of time studying this over this last week I have video clips and things that
[00:06:20] probably we won't get to just yet it's just so much but we're gonna go down let's
[00:06:26] see here oh let's see we'll just start from verse 1 that's good hallelujah so
[00:06:34] the Apostle Peter writes by the Holy Spirit the elders which are among you I
[00:06:39] exhort who am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and
[00:06:43] also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed so he commands these elders
[00:06:48] feed the flock of God which is among you taking the oversight thereof not by
[00:06:53] constraint but willingly not for filthy lucre or just for money but of a ready
[00:06:58] mind neither is being lords over God's heritage but being examples to the flock
[00:07:03] means you can't be a hypocrite and he says that when the chief shepherd shall
[00:07:07] appear he showers you shall receive a crown of glory that faith is not away
[00:07:11] likewise ye younger submit yourselves unto the elder a all of you be subject one
[00:07:17] to another and be clothed with humility for God resisted the proud and giveth
[00:07:22] grace to the humble humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God
[00:07:27] that he may exalt you in due time casting all your care upon him for he
[00:07:32] careth for you then the command be sober not high on marijuana not drunk
[00:07:40] with alcohol he says be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a
[00:07:48] roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour interesting enough the
[00:07:53] word seeking here is a present tense Greek verb which means ongoing
[00:07:57] continuous action taking place in the present means he never stops seeking
[00:08:02] whom he may devour and that means he's always looking for a place to get you
[00:08:08] he's always plotting a gift then this command whom speaking of Satan the
[00:08:15] devil and his demons whom resist steadfast in the faith knowing that the
[00:08:21] same afflictions are accomplished in your brother and that are in the world
[00:08:23] but the God of all grace who has called you are called us rather than his
[00:08:28] eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that you have suffered a while make you
[00:08:32] perfect establish strengthen and settle you so he tells us here the apostle
[00:08:39] Peter that you have an adversary an enemy right and he tells you the devil
[00:08:44] and he's a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour now I've seen a lot of little
[00:08:50] clips lately of these lions hunting in the jungle and I'll tell you one thing
[00:08:56] about them they're patient they're patient and they're sneaky and they
[00:09:03] will creep they'll creep a foot and they'll stay still and they'll creep
[00:09:08] another foot and they'll stay still and what's amazing about them is that you
[00:09:13] talking about you know certain praise they like antelope or whatever that are
[00:09:18] fast that are very sensitive to their surroundings that are you know jumpy
[00:09:23] and a lion can sneak up on one of them and then I saw a lion kill a hippopotamus
[00:09:34] I mean these things are crazy they will jump on and latch onto that neck and
[00:09:41] they don't let go now he says here that it's like a lion seeking whom he may
[00:09:46] devour now what lions will do too they will follow a flock they'll follow close
[00:09:52] by try to stay hidden and then they want to see one stray a little bit stray a
[00:10:01] little bit away from truth away from fellowship away from worship away from
[00:10:10] holy living just stray a little bit they're watching you that's why when God
[00:10:17] spoke to Cain he warned him he said sin lieth at the door and in fact in the
[00:10:22] Hebrew that means it's crouched like an animal ready to pounce on you and this
[00:10:27] is something I tell people all the time this is why we cannot as Christians you
[00:10:31] cannot entertain and play with sin because it's like playing with a
[00:10:34] rattlesnake or a cobra you keep playing with it long enough and you're gonna
[00:10:41] get bit as they say play stupid games and win stupid prizes right but what I
[00:10:48] don't understand is there's a lot of Christians to say oh yeah we're we've
[00:10:53] got you know we've got the devil out here we got demons out here but you
[00:10:57] know I remember Larry Lee who was a famous pastor back in the 80s and
[00:11:02] early 90s and he used to say you know when he was in the Southwestern
[00:11:07] Theological Seminary in Fort Worth Texas he used to say they were teaching
[00:11:11] pastors that that Satan is not active in North America demons are not active
[00:11:17] in North America that only happens we go to Africa or something but this is
[00:11:21] kind of the level that most Christians are don't talk about the devil you give
[00:11:24] him glory well then what's the Bible doing talking about talks about him all
[00:11:28] through the whole thing and it's important that we understand how he
[00:11:33] works and I'm gonna give you some of the basics how he works today but I'm
[00:11:36] also gonna give you some of the most tricky ways he's working right now and
[00:11:40] you better know because I'm gonna show you how that he is crept in and
[00:11:46] subverted nearly the entire church in the Western world and I mean into a
[00:11:54] completely false fake supernatural experiences now let's go and read
[00:12:02] Ephesians chapter 6 and get ready to put up the definition of wiles here I
[00:12:15] find this interesting just the word the Greek word here well let's start reading
[00:12:30] at verse 10 this ought to be familiar to everybody he says finally my brethren be
[00:12:36] strong in the Lord in the power of his might now that word power there there's
[00:12:41] different words in the Greek but that word is not the word for simply
[00:12:45] supernatural power it's talking about authority that we've been given so we
[00:12:49] have to walk in the authority that Jesus has given us now we can't walk
[00:12:53] in that authority unless we are submitted to God we're submitted to his
[00:12:58] word I'm gonna quote this verse we'll put you guys can put it up in a second but
[00:13:03] James 4 seven says submit yourselves therefore to God resist the devil and he
[00:13:08] will flee from you a lot of people like to quote that resist the devil and
[00:13:11] he'll flee from you but the first part of it is submit to God meaning you have
[00:13:15] to have chosen to let Jesus be Lord of your life you have to choose to lay
[00:13:21] down your life take up your cross and follow him you have to have already
[00:13:24] chosen to repent and turn from your sinful ways and habits that God says
[00:13:30] are evil so you have to submit to God you want to be victorious over the devil I
[00:13:34] mean I have people who come to me all the time they want deliverance from
[00:13:37] demons but they hadn't truly repented of their sins deliverance is I tell
[00:13:45] people casting demons out of folks that's easy stuff it's getting people to
[00:13:50] truly repent and be prepared for deliverance so they can stay free
[00:13:53] that's the big deal that's why I don't fool around with folks that aren't born
[00:13:58] again yet or hadn't truly repented of sin yet we're not going down that road
[00:14:02] of casting demons out because if I cast demons out of you they're gonna come
[00:14:07] back seven times worse you're gonna get sevenfold more so the real issue is have
[00:14:14] we submitted to God if we submit to God truly bow the knee truly submit our
[00:14:19] will truly turn from our sins then we will be in a position to exercise our
[00:14:27] authority in Jesus name to resist the devil but so many of you are you will
[00:14:33] you you want some kind of magic formula to get free from your attacks and really
[00:14:41] to tell you the truth a lot of it's just because you're rebelling and
[00:14:43] disobeying God disobeying his word and maybe God's told you to do
[00:14:47] something you're not doing it and then you wonder why the devil's just having
[00:14:53] heyday on your on your head on your finances or on your body or on your mind
[00:14:59] you must submit everything to God so that when you resist the devil he will
[00:15:07] flee because what's the flip side of that coin if you're not submitted to
[00:15:11] God and resist the devil he ain't going nowhere he's got a right to be
[00:15:16] there all right now let's keep reading this after he says put on after he said
[00:15:26] finally my brother be strong in the Lord in the power of his might he said put on
[00:15:29] the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the
[00:15:34] devil for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities
[00:15:38] against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world and against
[00:15:42] spiritual wickedness in high places wherefore take unto you the whole armor
[00:15:46] of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done
[00:15:49] all to stand stand therefore having your loins gird about with the truth that is
[00:15:54] the word of God you must know the truth walk in the truth love the truth of
[00:15:59] God's word if you walk in lies and deception and doctrinal error you do not
[00:16:05] have the girdle or belt of truth so understand that he goes on to say having
[00:16:12] on the breastplate of righteousness well if you don't choose to repent of sin and
[00:16:17] walk in righteousness you can't say I am righteous so you don't have the
[00:16:22] breastplate he says in your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
[00:16:26] peace so if you're not walking in the peace of God if you're not walking in
[00:16:31] the power of the gospel yourself how are you gonna lead anybody else there he
[00:16:37] says then it says above all taking the shield of faith wherewith you shall be
[00:16:43] able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked and again if you're not
[00:16:46] walking in faith if you're walking in doubt and unbelief disobedience is
[00:16:51] unbelief then he says you will not be able to quench the fiery darts the
[00:16:56] devil they said take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the
[00:17:00] spirit which is the word of God so you've got to have the Bible you got to
[00:17:04] know the Bible we'll get to that in a minute you got to be able to quote the
[00:17:07] Bible to the devil praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
[00:17:13] spirit and watching there into with all perseverance and supplication for all
[00:17:17] Saints now let me let me just I got to do this right now I know it's this little
[00:17:21] sidetrack here but this is bugs the stew out of me because too many of you
[00:17:25] watch these tick-tock videos and you think it's they're correct there's a guy
[00:17:29] that's done something about the Geneva Bible and start saying that this
[00:17:32] word principalities in the Geneva Bibles translated governments and that King
[00:17:37] James wanted it translated principalities so it wouldn't threaten
[00:17:41] his authority this is about the biggest bunch of nonsense I ever heard in my
[00:17:44] life first of all there's the word government and there's the word
[00:17:48] principalities and they're two different Greek words and actually the King James
[00:17:52] translated it correctly in this passage not the Geneva Bible in fact the
[00:17:57] Geneva Bible gets a lot of stuff wrong and the reason King James just so y'all
[00:18:03] know didn't like the Geneva Bible is because it was full of Calvinist
[00:18:08] doctrine that it was full of notes and pushing the Calvinist theology all over
[00:18:15] the world and King James was like I'm sick of this Bible with this comedy he
[00:18:21] said he wanted a Bible with no notes in it no commentary so people could just
[00:18:25] read it and figure it out themselves oh what an evil guy let me tell you a lot
[00:18:29] of this stuff out here you hear something talking bad about King James
[00:18:32] is propaganda okay propaganda nonsense in fact every every little video I've seen
[00:18:41] where it says oh the Geneva Bible translates it this way and the King
[00:18:45] James this way and the genius so the Geneva Bibles better I find out the
[00:18:48] Geneva Bible translated it wrong because you go back to the original Greek and
[00:18:53] Hebrew and look the words up it's real simple so I know the Geneva Bible was
[00:18:57] used a lot way back in those days but once the King James came in and took
[00:19:04] the commentary out people stopped getting indoctrinated with Calvinism alright so
[00:19:11] stop it I don't care how many tick-tock videos you see and you think they're
[00:19:15] true you need to go back and check because these people sound very
[00:19:20] convincing at times but they don't know what they're talking about alright that
[00:19:26] was free now let's go back and here's another thing if it was governments of
[00:19:31] the world here that he was talking about if principality should have been
[00:19:34] translated government the government is something in the physical realm that we
[00:19:39] fight and deal with it is flesh and blood so he's not talking about actual
[00:19:45] governments here so they translated it correctly in the King James version
[00:19:50] alright these are demonic principalities and powers not earthly
[00:19:55] alright that's why he says we wrestle not against flesh and blood now let's go
[00:20:02] to this when he says put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand
[00:20:05] against the wiles of the devil so let's put the definition of wiles up here and
[00:20:11] you'll see it's methodia or methodia and that doesn't sound familiar doesn't it
[00:20:20] method so he's saying is the methods of the devil he says compare method
[00:20:26] traveling over travesty trickery lie and wait you can put the Thayer's Greek
[00:20:32] dictionary up here as well things cunning arts deceit craft trickery to
[00:20:40] follow up or investigate by method or settle a plan so he's telling you that
[00:20:45] the devil has a method his methods that he uses y'all want to know what his
[00:20:51] methods are alright let's go just go to Matthew 4 and put that up there
[00:20:57] everybody ought to know about the temptation of Jesus alright so let me
[00:21:03] just go ahead I'm gonna give you number one method Satan's number one method to
[00:21:08] get you off base his number one while to get you off base is to try to get you
[00:21:14] to sin to tempt you he came to Jesus and he tempted Jesus trying to get Jesus to
[00:21:22] sin all right and the Bible even calls him the tempter that's one of his
[00:21:28] names now he's not going to tempt you with something that's not that doesn't
[00:21:33] have already kind of a you already might have a weakness to it like some
[00:21:38] people they don't have a weakness to pornography but others do because they
[00:21:43] either saw it when they were very young or or whatever so there's a weakness in
[00:21:47] them to that issue so the devil is going to come hit that person with
[00:21:52] that but there may be somebody else who's who is so sensitive that they're
[00:21:56] easily hurt or wounded or offended by people so the devil is going to make
[00:22:01] sure that he brings somebody in your life to hurt you or offend you he knows
[00:22:06] how to trip you up he watches you he he investigates you see that's what I say
[00:22:12] that he watches and he investigates and he's gonna find out the plan what what
[00:22:17] what do you what what weakness do you have some of you it is you watch too
[00:22:24] much TV and movies you feed your spirit he's watching you and he's waiting for
[00:22:31] you it's like I've told you that story of the two dogs that are gonna fight in a
[00:22:34] month the one you feed and the other one you don't feed who's gonna win at the
[00:22:39] end of the month so if you feed yourself constantly from the media television
[00:22:47] videos movies if that's what you feed yourself you spend little time reading
[00:22:53] the Bible little time in prayer guess what's gonna happen you're not going to
[00:22:58] be ready for when the temptation comes because the temptations on me take you
[00:23:02] deeper into it and of course this the process also is to harden your heart make
[00:23:12] you a little less feeling that's why that's why you know when you know you
[00:23:16] go to you go to a movie now I'm gonna say I made a mistake of going to see what
[00:23:24] was it John Wick for I knew it was gonna be ridiculous all right but the
[00:23:32] previews the previews that they showed I had to close my eyes it was such evil
[00:23:40] there I'd never even seen this before they had our rated previews with the red
[00:23:47] warning on them I'm like what the heck is that I've never even seen that before
[00:23:52] usually it says this is approved for all audiences right a little green strip I'm
[00:24:00] like what is going on but see again what are they trying to do to us they want to
[00:24:07] slip stuff in there so they desensitize us and because what if we receive it the
[00:24:13] next time they can take us the devil's always trying to take you a little
[00:24:16] deeper that's why look if a movie has sexual content in it as a Christian you
[00:24:24] had no business watching that you understand none why are you feeding that
[00:24:33] you wonder why later when the temptation comes you feel like you're being pulled
[00:24:41] away this is why again you got to feed your spirit God's Word time with God the
[00:24:49] presence of God worship God you got us you got to feed the spirit man and not
[00:24:54] the flesh man it's real simple but the tempter is going to come and he knows
[00:24:58] your weakness and you know what you should know your weakness you should
[00:25:02] know it and go you know what I'm not going there if you were an alcoholic you
[00:25:09] don't need to go witnessing the people in the bar probably not a good idea to go
[00:25:15] hang out in the bar I know that there were preachers back in the day that had
[00:25:21] issues they came out of sexual immorality they made the mistake of
[00:25:25] thinking that they could go and preach every day on Bourbon Street in New
[00:25:30] Orleans I've preached on Bourbon Street in New Orleans and about four days was
[00:25:36] all I could take you understand you certain places you don't need to go you
[00:25:45] don't need to do you got to know your weakness and I think it was Sun Tzu the
[00:25:50] art of war he says you got to know your enemy if you're gonna be and you got
[00:25:55] to know your enemy and you got to know yourself and if you lie to yourself
[00:26:00] about your weaknesses then you are really setting yourself up for a fall
[00:26:06] and a bad fall now let me tell you this other story there's it I'm just
[00:26:11] gonna give you this this is in Samuel believe it says second Samuel after
[00:26:16] David became king there says that the time came when the Kings were supposed to
[00:26:21] go forth to battle but David decided to stay home now if you're not in the right
[00:26:29] place at the right time if you're not in the fight where you're supposed to be
[00:26:33] and fighting the way you're supposed to fight the devil's gonna make sure that
[00:26:39] there's a bath she become right in your view without her clothes on had
[00:26:47] David been where God said he was supposed to be he wouldn't have been
[00:26:52] there to see that and if he and it was a battle so if he'd have been engaged in
[00:26:58] the spiritual warfare he was supposed to be in he wouldn't have been home and
[00:27:03] then fighting Bathsheba and then you know calling for her and then the
[00:27:07] whole thing that went down we got to understand and this is another thing if
[00:27:15] you don't engage the devil in spiritual warfare and resistance he will beat you
[00:27:22] idleness passivity that's not an option some of you the devil starts hitting your
[00:27:30] mind with all these kind of thoughts of maybe it's just depression you just
[00:27:34] start you start mulling over oh whoa is me this ain't happening this didn't
[00:27:39] happen and this happened to me and you keep doing it until you are
[00:27:45] depressed and then and then it gets so bad you can't shake it off and this is
[00:27:54] why a lot of people run to drugs and alcohol to try to feel better or you
[00:28:00] know doctors will give you a pill now it's all kind of happy peels they have
[00:28:05] all kind of bad side effects but all they do is really numb you and you
[00:28:13] don't need anything to numb you so the tempter is the first thing now I'll
[00:28:18] show you something else this is what he comes in remember when he came to
[00:28:20] Jesus what did he do not only did he try to get him to sin but one time what did
[00:28:28] he do he was he was he quoted the word to Jesus this is what blows my mind now
[00:28:33] let's go down to where he talks about throwing himself so when the tempter
[00:28:38] came to him look at that thou be the Son of God command these stones be made
[00:28:42] bread what Jesus do he answered said it is written man shall not live by bread
[00:28:47] alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God that's a
[00:28:50] direct quote from Deuteronomy keep going then the devil taketh him up into the
[00:28:55] holy city and saideth him on a pinnacle of the temple and sayeth unto him if thou
[00:28:59] be the Son of God cast thyself down for it is written now the devil start
[00:29:03] quoting Bible he shall give his angels charge over thee concerning thee and in
[00:29:07] their hands they shall bear thee up lest at any time thou dash thy foot
[00:29:11] against the stone now know what the devil did here the devil quoted this
[00:29:15] verse almost accurately he just added in any time this is from Psalm 91 so what
[00:29:27] the devil did was he took a passage about God's protection that's
[00:29:31] conditional that if you dwell in the secret place of the most high if you
[00:29:36] love his name if you if if if so the protection of Psalm 91 is conditional
[00:29:47] and the devil goes no no no any time he's going to protect you even if you commit
[00:29:52] suicide here or make a suicide it no and of course Jesus rebukes him here's
[00:30:00] here's another thing where the devil is going to attack you he is going to try
[00:30:04] to twist the scriptures in your life meaning to get you to believe some
[00:30:13] false doctrines some errors some wrong theology and he'll do it just by
[00:30:19] inserting a word or a phrase a little bit just just a little bit of a twist this
[00:30:27] is all this is right here this temptation is just a little twist this
[00:30:33] is why it's important what translation of the Bible you read I'm going to do a
[00:30:40] one in the days ahead knowing the Bible knowing the translation of the
[00:30:45] Bible but yes I'm gonna tell you right now in English the most accurate and
[00:30:51] best translation of the Bible that we have is the King James Version I don't
[00:30:55] care who who what scholar tells you what I heard a scholar that I have admired and
[00:31:04] appreciated over the years though we've had our disagreements about things at
[00:31:07] times but dr. Michael L Brown I heard him make the mistake the other day of
[00:31:13] saying that because of some of the manuscripts that are older we should go
[00:31:19] by them instead of the ones that are more accurate there are some older
[00:31:26] manuscripts that are corrupted older is not better if older came out of a trash
[00:31:33] can in a monastery you understand older is not better if it comes from
[00:31:38] Alexandria corruption of origin and Marcion who made their own translation
[00:31:47] and all the modern translations have taken from that Alexandria and
[00:31:53] corrupted text line now remember I'm talking about the original text does the
[00:31:59] King James always picked the best English word to translate no not all the
[00:32:04] time and that's why I tell everybody go get you a Greek lexicon a Hebrew and
[00:32:12] Greek lexicon and look the words up for yourself so you know okay now now that we
[00:32:20] get past that so we've got the tempter and he's the twister now this is what I
[00:32:28] was talking about last week about how important doctrine was y'all remember last
[00:32:31] week if you didn't if you didn't see last week you need to watch it what
[00:32:36] about doctrine I want to show you something go to James chapter 5 just go
[00:32:54] down to verse 19 and 20 now this is how important it is to not get off dock
[00:33:06] into doctrinal error or let the devil twist the word or change it a little
[00:33:12] bit in your life or you just stay ignorant of it that's not good this is
[00:33:20] why you got to know when I say you got to know the Bible you got to know the
[00:33:22] Bible you got to read it you got to study it you got to memorize it you need
[00:33:28] to know what words mean I was doing this kind of study before God ever told me I
[00:33:37] was gonna be a pastor or a teacher because you know why I wanted to study
[00:33:42] like this because I wanted to make sure that I was staying in correct doctrine
[00:33:47] and that I would know the Word of God well enough to give people an answer and
[00:33:52] to tell people the truth I knew even as just to say a lay Christian just a
[00:33:57] 19-year-old young man I knew I didn't want to be a stumbling block to other
[00:34:03] people and mislead people even if my intentions were good I didn't want to be
[00:34:07] off-base so I studied like crazy my dad said he'd never seen anybody study the
[00:34:15] Bible like I studied I have entire chapters memorized I would take
[00:34:21] chapters and look up every single if it was in the Old Testament I'd take a
[00:34:26] chapter like Isaiah 53 and look up every Hebrew word in it and write down the
[00:34:30] definitions I had my own amplified Bible that I made you've got to know the Word
[00:34:40] of God you've got to be able to rightly divide the Word of God you got
[00:34:45] to understand what you're reading and don't just depend if you just depending
[00:34:51] on me to teach you that's not enough you have to do it yourself but he
[00:34:59] says here listen this is how serious it is his brethren if any of you do err
[00:35:04] from the truth that means to stray to get off away from the truth of God's Word
[00:35:11] and sound doctrine brethren if any of you do err from the truth you have to
[00:35:16] have somebody convert you from the error back to the truth and it says in one
[00:35:22] convert him or bring him back out of that error nobody says happens here let
[00:35:29] him know that he which converted the sinner from the error of his way shall
[00:35:33] save a soul from death this eternal damnation the second death being
[00:35:38] separated from God for all eternity not annihilation and he says he shall hide a
[00:35:48] multitude of sins I shared with you last week the Bible is clear 2nd John
[00:35:54] says that if you transgress and get away from the doctrine of Jesus Christ
[00:35:58] the clear sound doctrines of the Bible it says you do not have God you have
[00:36:05] to remain in the truth of doctrine and Scripture if you start believing say for
[00:36:12] instance that Jesus Christ is just a man or just the Son of God or just and you
[00:36:17] don't understand the Bible doctrine that he is God Almighty in the flesh the
[00:36:21] fullness of the Godhead bodily the mighty God the Everlasting Father the
[00:36:26] Prince of Peace if you don't understand that and you start going down the road
[00:36:32] like say these Torah heads go down that he's just he's not God he's just the Son
[00:36:38] of God or he's just like Rob Skiba you say he's just a his right arm you start
[00:36:47] going down that road you have departed from the doctrine of Christ you've
[00:36:51] departed from the sound doctrine of Scripture if you deny hell is eternal
[00:36:56] punishment eternal damnation if you deny hell you're you you're denying what
[00:37:01] Jesus taught and what the Apostles taught by the Holy Spirit if you go down
[00:37:08] these roads and the reason why you are if you air from the truth of Scripture
[00:37:15] that you are going to be if you have strayed from God are in danger of
[00:37:20] judgment and needing someone to convert you is because you're going to lead
[00:37:25] others astray and that blood's gonna be on your hands you understand me you
[00:37:31] have to be established in the truth because if not your life and your words
[00:37:39] and what you teach is either going to bring people to Jesus and to the truth
[00:37:44] and to sound doctrine or your life is going to lead them away and the devil is
[00:37:50] about twisting things and just because something sounds plausible doesn't mean
[00:37:59] it's biblical you understand you know I'll tell you this too you don't build
[00:38:08] sound doctrine off of one scripture sound doctrine must be built on systematic
[00:38:15] study of Scripture on a topic from Genesis to Revelation you've got to know
[00:38:21] all of it you've got to accept all of it amen I can't tell you enough because he
[00:38:31] this is the way he's gonna deceive people he's deceiving people the most
[00:38:35] in fact put up first Timothy 4-1 y'all ought to know this one by heart this
[00:38:43] is one of the ones I learned a long time ago and let me tell you something if
[00:38:48] you witness the people enough and tell and talk to people enough about the
[00:38:51] Bible you won't have to memorize stuff because you'll just buy a simple
[00:38:55] repetition you'll remember stuff but he says now the spirit speak expressly
[00:38:59] than the latter time shall some shall depart from the faith giving heed to
[00:39:04] seducing spirits what seducing spirit first these evil spirits demon spirits
[00:39:13] come and guess what they must not be resisted if they're able to successfully
[00:39:22] get you to believe doctrines that they want and to get you to depart from the
[00:39:27] faith notice here he's not even talking about he's not even talking about sin
[00:39:33] here he's talking about getting off in doctrinal error it's serious you see
[00:39:43] that's why I like when that I talked about it last week that that so-called
[00:39:46] prophetess Julie Green whenever I hear somebody go oh stop with the doctrine
[00:39:52] get off the doctrine I know it's there that they're there that what's speaking
[00:39:56] through them the seducing spirits the moment I hear somebody doctrine doesn't
[00:40:03] matter I go you're a devil because it mattered to Jesus and it mattered to Paul
[00:40:13] and Peter and James and John in fact when the first converts happened in the
[00:40:21] early church what does it say that they they remain steadfastly in the Apostles
[00:40:26] doctrine first then prayers and fellowship and breaking of bread
[00:40:31] backs to all right they continued in doctrine what did Jesus say let's put
[00:40:38] up John 8 I think I quoted last week but we're gonna put it up again the
[00:40:45] devil's got some he's got some tricky stuff out there I mean this new one
[00:40:50] this new one the whole Tataria thing and the millennial reigns already happened and
[00:40:55] Jesus came in 70 AD blah blah blah blah blah deception false doctrine oh I'm
[00:41:03] gonna annihilate it soon don't take about two hours just to systematically
[00:41:07] destroy and expose that false doctrine but I what I marvel that's how many
[00:41:17] people are just fall for it because they're just in there they're like the
[00:41:22] people in Athens they just looking for the next new thing verse 30 31 30
[00:41:31] somewhere there Jesus spake this to the Jews that believed on him you said to the
[00:41:37] Jews that believed on him if Jordan if if you continue in my word did he say
[00:41:48] continue in my singing songs said if you continue in my word then you are my if
[00:41:59] you continue my word then are you my disciples indeed and you shall know the
[00:42:04] truth and the truth will make you free you have to continue in the word but it
[00:42:15] has to be the truth of the word not anything twisted not changed a little bit
[00:42:20] not parts you ignore because you don't like those parts I say you you know
[00:42:27] there's preachers of the Bible and then there's editors of the Bible they
[00:42:33] decide what parts we don't want to talk about that's pretty much the modern
[00:42:37] church world it's parts we don't want to talk about because it might offend
[00:42:42] somebody they might not come have coffee and donuts in our coffee shop I
[00:42:46] see that that there's the Highlands is getting some competition new coffee
[00:42:57] shop just open across the street I couldn't resist now the tempter he's the
[00:43:12] tempter he's the twister of doctrine twister of the word but he's also going
[00:43:23] to be how do I put it he is the counterfeiter of supernatural let's go to
[00:43:32] Matthew 24 this is where we're gonna show you some stuff now we're gonna go a
[00:43:37] little deeper now all right and as there as we're turning to that and we're
[00:43:43] gonna go down to verse 21 as you're turning to that well we'll get to that
[00:43:52] but there's a way you have to resist the devil okay first of all I think you've
[00:43:59] seen you need to quote the scripture and you need to be accurate you need to stay
[00:44:04] in the truth and you need to speak that to the devil I'm gonna tell you
[00:44:08] when you're getting really bombarded man when you're getting bombarded with
[00:44:12] lust thoughts you need to quote the scripture you need to bind those demons
[00:44:20] also and resist them but you also need to quote Bible to them the devil hates
[00:44:23] hearing the Bible hates it I saw there was Donnie who was who's they there's a
[00:44:31] group of those apostles and so-called prophets that you came across it
[00:44:34] started commenting what was their name again I don't know I looked at their
[00:44:41] stuff let me just say there's some group out there they say the word of
[00:44:46] God the written word of God has no power they also say that you if you
[00:44:52] preach on if a preacher preaches against sin he's in error oh yeah huh yeah
[00:45:02] something stupid I almost I look I listed I looked at their web page almost
[00:45:08] everybody that's on staffs called Apostle I'm like well they got more
[00:45:12] apostles than Jesus had I was like something right here I'm sorry but I
[00:45:18] ain't buying it that you got you know 25 apostles in your church but just
[00:45:24] unbelievable error and I was just I was my I'm just I'm telling you my mind is
[00:45:33] blown we have and I'm not I believe there's a true apostles and prophets and
[00:45:37] evangelists pastors and teachers I believe in all the fivefold ministry I
[00:45:41] believe in all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit I've seen every miracle you can
[00:45:45] imagine I've seen the crippled walk the deaf here I've seen the dead raised I've
[00:45:50] seen people with cancer in stage four cancer bone cancer even where their bones
[00:45:56] were already breaking instantly healed I've seen those miracles over the years
[00:46:00] I've seen people in a coma and paralyzed get up from from intensive care unit
[00:46:05] within three hours of after being prayed for there's nothing impossible I believe
[00:46:10] that Jesus is still the healer the deliver he still works miracles I
[00:46:14] believe in all that so I'm don't get me wrong but let me just go on and tell
[00:46:18] you everybody that slaps the name Apostle on them is not an Apostle
[00:46:21] everybody says there are prophets not a prophet even everybody says there are
[00:46:24] pastors not a pastor some of them just thought it was a be a good job choice so
[00:46:31] they went to seminary and got hired by a church and God never called them to do
[00:46:35] that ever and we wonder why it's a disaster I don't believe Joel Osteen
[00:46:40] was ever called to be a pastor I believe it was his actually his
[00:46:44] brother was supposed to take over that's why he says everything in the
[00:46:49] Bible is not his ministry but that's another thing Matthew 24 here in verse
[00:46:56] 21 that we talking about the tribulations is for then there should be
[00:46:59] great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time
[00:47:03] known or ever shall be and accept those days should be shortened there
[00:47:07] should no flesh be saved but for the elect's sake those days shall be
[00:47:10] shortened and then if any man shall say unto you lo here is Christ there
[00:47:14] believe it not for there shall arise false Christ now I want you to look at
[00:47:19] that plural false Christ we could say false anointed ones oh because Christ
[00:47:26] means anointed one false anointed ones false saviors false prophets what is a
[00:47:36] prophet somebody that speaks by supposed to speak by inspiration of God and
[00:47:40] also foretell events but there's gonna be false ones and but he says about these
[00:47:46] false ones they are going to show great signs and wonders folks people will get
[00:47:56] healed in their meetings people will speak in tongues in their meetings they
[00:48:03] will speak in tongues they will foretell some events that will happen and this
[00:48:14] has happened in history anybody you want to talk about one of the most prolific
[00:48:19] false prophets that fooled many many people because his prophecies came to
[00:48:24] pass and miracles happened around him look up Edgar Cayce I wrote about him in
[00:48:30] the polluted church the man would would put a book under his pillow and when he
[00:48:37] woke up the next morning he would know the entire book he could tell people
[00:48:44] where they live their address their phone number he operated in the
[00:48:50] supernatural and I'm gonna go and tell you like I said a few weeks ago these
[00:48:56] false prophets that are out here just by the hundreds oh yeah there's some
[00:49:05] healings in their meetings but let me go and tell you I've spent time in Africa
[00:49:08] people go don't go to the witch doctors and pay money because it doesn't work
[00:49:13] in India oh yeah they get healed of stuff they go to a guru go to the witch
[00:49:28] doctor in Africa go to the ancient healing arts person in China there's all
[00:49:38] kinds of stuff just because somebody gets healed doesn't mean it's God
[00:49:42] Almighty doesn't mean it's from Jesus and that was so sad is is that Christians
[00:49:50] seem to be like oh if signs and wonders are happening it's got to be God no and
[00:49:57] also something we forget about do you know ministries can come along and have
[00:50:03] none of that the Bible I love what Jesus said John the Baptist did no
[00:50:07] miracle and yet he said he was the greatest of the prophets well would
[00:50:16] that go over well in the modern Charismatic Pentecostal Church no
[00:50:26] because now what's happened is is the goal has become the supernatural no
[00:50:32] matter what I want to show you we got some false prophets and stuff let's put
[00:50:43] up the praying medic now anybody heard of this praying medic fella me and him
[00:50:53] had a clash years ago I actually rebuked him and warned him about this road he
[00:50:58] was going down and it started about 2011 2012 is when he and I had this clash
[00:51:03] look at what he started traveling in the spirit made simple yeah we've got we've
[00:51:13] got Pentecostal charismatic preachers and teachers out here talking about that
[00:51:20] you can travel your spirit can travel outside your body and go places this
[00:51:25] is astral projection okay they try to claim it's not but let me just just
[00:51:31] go ahead and break this down for you I'll put up the other guy didn't I have
[00:51:34] you another one that had it Bruce Allen oh yeah here's another one from him
[00:51:39] seeing in the spirit made simple dream interpretation now let me pause for a
[00:51:45] minute dream interpretation if anybody's written a book about dream
[00:51:49] interpretation I got another one on dream interpretation you need to throw
[00:51:54] the book out the window it needs to go in the fireplace because I'm gonna tell
[00:51:59] you why if somebody says to you gives you a list of things and said if you
[00:52:03] have a dream about a snake it means this or if you dream about a vehicle or car it
[00:52:09] means this and they give you a list of what things mean it's divination
[00:52:14] because the only one that can tell you what your dream means if it's a dream
[00:52:18] from the Lord what the things in it means the only one that can tell you
[00:52:22] what it means for you is the Holy Spirit period and in something in a
[00:52:29] dream like a bus in a dream something like what that prophet John Paul
[00:52:34] Jackson had a dream interpretation book he came out with in the 80s he's dead
[00:52:37] now but remember me telling you the story about the woman who was healed the bone
[00:52:43] cancer woman that was healed you know Baptist pastors wife friends of mine
[00:52:49] brought him over told him about healing I mean she was dying she'd been to the
[00:52:55] cancer specialist in Arkansas and everything else she was dying her bones
[00:52:59] were breaking she had cancer tumors from head to toe and came over explain
[00:53:07] healing that by his stripes Jesus stripes we were healed elders anointed sick and
[00:53:12] pray the prayer faith right and I said do you believe it and she said they said
[00:53:18] yes now here's the Baptist pastor and his wife going yeah because I just for
[00:53:22] the first hour I just gave him scripture anointed her with oil in the name of
[00:53:28] Jesus and prayed over her me as an elder of the church and she went back to
[00:53:32] the cancer doctor and there was not a cancer cell in her body not a broken
[00:53:37] bone in her by she was completely instantaneously healed she began to
[00:53:44] testify she lived in Montgomery testify all over Montgomery about three four or
[00:53:51] five months later I don't remember exactly I got word that the cancer had
[00:53:55] come back and it was all back as bad as it was before remember Jesus told some
[00:54:00] people go and send no more or less the worst thing come upon you right well what
[00:54:05] did I find out I you know I called her husband I was friends with him I said
[00:54:09] what in the world's going on he didn't know but then a person that worked
[00:54:16] with her that I knew said she's got a dream interpretation book that she just
[00:54:20] can't put down she just uses it every day so what she was doing she was
[00:54:24] using this dream every time she had a dream she was using this Christian's
[00:54:28] dream interpretation book to help her divine what her dream meant she was
[00:54:35] practicing witchcraft basically instead of asking the Holy Spirit what does my
[00:54:40] dream mean show me what it means Lord she was depending on this book and when I
[00:54:45] told her it's witchcraft it's divination nobody can tell you what your dream
[00:54:49] means unless God gives it to him or he gives it to you and he said there's no
[00:54:54] list to decipher there's no there's no formula that you can write out in a book
[00:54:58] to tell people how to interpret dreams it's nonsense she didn't won't let go she
[00:55:04] was addicted to it and basically I told her I said okay you keep on you're
[00:55:09] gonna die you're gonna die because you won't let go of this book this
[00:55:13] witchcraft so it took about a month of trying to convince I would talk to her
[00:55:18] just say you've got to get rid of it here she got rid of it she finally
[00:55:23] got rid of it we broke the demonic stronghold of divination of witchcraft
[00:55:27] off urban commanded to leave and guess what cancer left again completely and
[00:55:34] she's still alive to this day but you see what what I'm talking about you open
[00:55:41] the door to this stuff um when he talks about go back to the seeing in the
[00:55:53] spirit made simple go ahead and put up the Bruce Allen one too there's this
[00:55:57] book by this guy dr. Bruce Allen please don't start following these people I was
[00:56:06] doing some I'm doing research on this side cuz I'm gonna explain something
[00:56:09] here's his book gazing into glory every believers birthright to walk in the
[00:56:15] supernatural oh it sounds great doesn't it but let me tell you what these guys
[00:56:19] are doing I'm gonna tell you exactly what they're doing they're teaching
[00:56:25] visualization or what's called guided imagery or imaginative prayer okay and
[00:56:33] this is where you use your own mind your own imaginations to begin to picture
[00:56:37] scenes in the Bible or picture places that you want to go to and through this
[00:56:44] visualization using your imagination it starts to become reality spiritual
[00:56:52] reality because you're using an occult technique I could give you what just
[00:56:58] just look up visualization in witchcraft in fact they say to get good at
[00:57:03] witchcraft you got to get good at visualization all right now I've read I
[00:57:10] read last night about 60 pages in this book I know exactly what he's
[00:57:16] teaching and what he's teaching is to create these images in your mind or
[00:57:21] places he's got one too about traveling in the spirit or journeying in the
[00:57:27] spirit nowhere does the Bible say we're do that now this is what they'll do
[00:57:32] they'll quote where Paul said he was caught up to the third heaven whether
[00:57:37] in the body rather body cannot tell right they will talk about where John
[00:57:41] was caught up to heaven he was in the spirit in the Lord's day and the Lord
[00:57:45] said come up here right our when Ezekiel when God grabbed him he said God grabbed
[00:57:51] me by the lock of my hair and yanked me up out of my my spirit out of my body
[00:57:55] and took me he was in Babylon took him to Jerusalem to show him what was going
[00:57:58] on God can do that I have experienced it one time in 36 years where God took me
[00:58:05] out of my body to go do something to show me something I did not initiate it
[00:58:09] through chanting repetitive prayer or visualization I did not initiate it it
[00:58:16] was supernatural God initiated it with Ezekiel God initiated with John he
[00:58:23] initiated with Paul they did not do this we got Christians out there saying they
[00:58:27] can visualize the courtroom of heaven yes another thing you hear that nonsense
[00:58:31] run away I'm so sick of these dang fads that come into the church world I'm
[00:58:40] gonna visualize the courts of heaven we got there we got these crazy prophets
[00:58:44] some of this standing there looking at the devil's book of accusations in heaven
[00:58:47] the devil's book in heaven no you idiot you're not there it's your imagination
[00:58:53] and I'm not look the Bible you okay I'll be nice and do it the King James way
[00:59:01] brutish which means stupid and it really is it's mind-boggling I mean Chad
[00:59:12] knows Chad study this stuff in depth I mean they've been toying in the CIA and
[00:59:16] every in the military with remote viewing teaching people how to start
[00:59:20] getting into a meditative state and start visualizing where they want to go
[00:59:25] and then they actually go there and this has been practiced by witches and
[00:59:29] Satanists for centuries upon centuries the whole goal of witches is to get
[00:59:35] into an altered state of consciousness so they can travel with their spirit
[00:59:40] outside their bodies and come listen to conversations and do all kind of
[00:59:46] stuff I've been attacked in the spirit by human spirits a lot of people don't
[00:59:51] understand that level of warfare that's whole different thing they can get an
[00:59:55] attack by demons I've been attacked by witches astral projecting to my house
[00:59:59] but this is what they're doing there these Christians are teaching practices
[01:00:08] from Buddhism and Hinduism and they're Christianizing them and and I'm gonna
[01:00:16] tell you I believe this is why we've been in the season where we don't see
[01:00:20] many real powerful and notable miracles because there is so much mixture God is
[01:00:27] not going to give his glory to in the same that gives us glory to no one but
[01:00:32] he is not going to put his stamp of approval on something that's full of
[01:00:36] mixture you see what like Mike Bickle Mike Bickle's I hop International House
[01:00:44] of Prayer 24 hours a day seven day a week prayer but this is what they're
[01:00:49] into I have it for his book Mike Bickle's book Passion for Jesus it's
[01:00:54] all in there about visualizing this and creating this let me tell you something
[01:00:59] what you never heard was about Mike Bickle's crippled brother who never got
[01:01:03] healed and how many prophecies there were over the years that he was going to be
[01:01:07] healed and get up and walk out of that wheelchair and it never happened and
[01:01:11] they hid that from the most of the public didn't even know that but see
[01:01:18] this is why now let me let me show you this you got my Jesuit stuff let's put
[01:01:25] up the Jesuit so let's go let's go back to where this all began now it goes
[01:01:32] back further than this but this is when it was really kicked in now everybody see
[01:01:38] that website up top there Jesuit org UK all right I was just these are
[01:01:48] screenshots from my phone last night Jesuits the Jesuits were formed by a
[01:01:54] man named Ignatius Loyola 1500s to combat the Protestant Reformation his
[01:02:03] job and his Society of Jesus or the Jesuits that they were called their
[01:02:09] mission were to be the spies the infiltrators and the assassins of the
[01:02:17] Roman Catholic Church to infiltrate deceive and kill and stop and maim or
[01:02:24] hinder or get derail the Protestant churches and Reformation that was
[01:02:30] spreading throughout the world I mean it was people had finally broken free from
[01:02:39] the idolatry and false doctrine and demonic uncleanness of Roman Catholicism
[01:02:47] so what he had to do is is to put it to have a a group like this dedicated to
[01:03:00] this you had to have a spirituality connected to I mean a supernatural
[01:03:05] element you don't have a supernatural element then you're you're nothing okay
[01:03:10] this is why our own government sought remote viewing and all this other stuff
[01:03:14] because they were always looking for a supernatural element Hitler was after
[01:03:18] he was after relics that he thought would have give him supernatural power
[01:03:24] there's always been this hunt for the supernatural but Ignatius Loyola created
[01:03:32] what they call and this is on their page imaginative prayer so this is
[01:03:37] going back to the 1500s and he began to teach his people this but this is
[01:03:43] what they used y'all need to hear me to supplant the real gifts and power the
[01:03:52] Holy Spirit to give people a counterfeit a shortcut let's let it explain here
[01:04:00] we'll go down through the slides here so what is imaginative contemplation
[01:04:05] imaginative contemplating is all about getting into getting to know Jesus now
[01:04:09] it sounds good right it is a method of prayer in which you imagine yourself as
[01:04:14] present in a gospel scene stepping into the story and encountering Jesus there
[01:04:19] it was st. Ignatius firm belief that God can speak to you just as clearly in
[01:04:25] your imagination as through your thoughts this way of praying will help
[01:04:30] you to see more clearly love more clearly and follow more nearly the
[01:04:35] person of Jesus now this is what they say this is the Jesuits play in the
[01:04:38] game no the part they know what it's going to do is introduce you to a false
[01:04:46] Jesus and a false Holy Spirit a counterfeit because you're using an
[01:04:53] occult technique that they've known about for centuries because they're
[01:04:56] saints like Teresa of Avila st. Bernard of Clairvaux Madame Guillaume all of
[01:05:03] these so-called mystics is Roman Catholic mystics practiced these
[01:05:08] techniques repetitive prayer what did Jesus say when you pray use not vain
[01:05:13] repetitions as the heathen do so the moment you start using vain repetitions
[01:05:18] over and over and over again you are disobeying scripture and opening the
[01:05:22] door to the demonic immediately so any any Christian I don't care if Catholic
[01:05:28] or not if you use repetitive prayer mantra type chanting type prayer you're
[01:05:36] opening the door to the demonic because you are disobeying the command
[01:05:39] of Jesus don't pray like the pagan heathens do I couldn't be a more clear
[01:05:46] command and the moment you disobey it you're not submitting to God you're
[01:05:54] actually giving place to the devil but the moment you delve into imaginative
[01:06:02] visualization you are operating in a second level of this demonic occult
[01:06:10] technique and I want to show you that the Jesuits adopted this because what
[01:06:17] they're what their plan was the Jesuits infiltrated every major church in the
[01:06:21] world they infiltrated every major seminary and Bible College in the world
[01:06:25] every major university in the world and when they would teach people
[01:06:32] spirituality or how to operate in the supernatural what they taught them is
[01:06:38] imaginative prayer and repetitive prayer now what's the wild is is that back say
[01:06:45] in the 70s and the 80s we were all well aware that this was satanic demonic
[01:06:53] occult Eastern religion practices but now it's been accepted everywhere we got
[01:07:01] a little prayer group here in town teaching you can travel out in the
[01:07:05] spirit now do I know that because some of our folks here have attended this
[01:07:12] meeting and when you start hearing stuff about traveling out in the spirit going
[01:07:19] places in the spirit this pray medic says you can do it by your will if you're
[01:07:27] doing it by your will let me tell you what what's happening if it's you if
[01:07:31] your imagination is creating an image of Jesus I can tell you if it's coming
[01:07:36] from your imagination that means it's not coming from the Holy Spirit so what
[01:07:41] you have if you've created an image of Jesus in your mind that you're
[01:07:44] praying to and talking to you've created an idol even though it's in your
[01:07:50] imagination I remember Spongebob imagination no your imagination is not what
[01:08:00] got in fact when the word uses the term meditate it uses these different words
[01:08:07] it means your intellect level your thought your logical side we're not
[01:08:11] Christians are never to blank out our minds we're never to chant repetitive
[01:08:16] things phrases sounds words until we until we create an altered state of
[01:08:23] consciousness or a feeling or a spiritual encounter see what Satan has
[01:08:27] done is he is he's given people who are hungry for the supernatural but not
[01:08:34] discerning and not patient and don't want to do it the right way they
[01:08:39] shortcuts and these guys are selling these books left and right let's keep
[01:08:44] going I'll see you a little bit more the idea that God can speak to people
[01:08:48] through their imagination can seem a bit strange yeah isn't this just making
[01:08:55] things up in your head yes it is but they say on the contrary you get what
[01:08:59] I'm saying making things up in your head is not of God you understand now I
[01:09:06] understand we use our minds artists do to paint things and we use our minds to
[01:09:11] think about I'm not talking about that I'm talking about when you're trying
[01:09:14] to communicate with God and connect with him this is not the way you do it this
[01:09:21] is the way Satanist and witches do and here's what's interesting a lot of these
[01:09:25] Christians that have started doing this mantra repetitive type prayer visualizing
[01:09:32] and then this traveling out in the spirit when they want to are going to
[01:09:37] the third heaven they talk about flying through outer space Jordan did it one
[01:09:43] time when he was before he was saved said he walked on Mars but what do we know
[01:09:52] now there's not outer space you know you start hearing one of these prophets talk
[01:10:00] about the globe the sphere and the space and planets and stuff you know
[01:10:06] automatically why do we know that there was the vision they just saw is not of
[01:10:09] God because it's not according to scripture we don't even I mean again
[01:10:16] how do you judge visions prophecies by the word of God well pastor Dean I was
[01:10:26] visualizing and Jesus and he was talking to me and he helped me travel outside my
[01:10:31] body I I wanted to go visit my friend in Taiwan and pray for them and I went
[01:10:36] and traveled through the third it is the second heaven and by Mars and and
[01:10:40] then came back down and laid hands on them and they got healed and said I
[01:10:46] was there you're a witch that's what you are you're a Christian witch and guess
[01:10:57] what I was in books a million yesterday and there's a book on the witchcraft I
[01:11:04] had to walk down the witchcraft aisle one for the Christian witch I went
[01:11:09] Christian witch now that is an oxymoron is it not Christian witchcraft yeah now
[01:11:20] I want you go with me to this here I want to show you something go to Isaiah
[01:11:26] chapter 2 and it's just oh we're it's only 10 after 12 so we just got a little bit
[01:11:35] more on this I'll show you something that how many of you are guilty still of
[01:11:43] not reading my book the polluted church you're in sin if you haven't God made me
[01:11:53] write it and all of this is in there if you want to understand the counterfeit you
[01:12:00] want to understand how there's the counterfeit supernatural that's why God
[01:12:07] had me write that book because there's a lot of people that write books against
[01:12:11] the supernatural but they're against everything they're cessationist and they
[01:12:14] don't believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit the power of God and visions and
[01:12:17] things but I do but I I'm wise enough now after many years to know the
[01:12:24] difference between the real and the counterfeit and this is what we have to
[01:12:27] do as Christians and I almost called today knowing the source because you
[01:12:32] have to know the source of where stuff comes from whatever teaching it is
[01:12:38] I can assure you if it comes from the Jesuits run away they are not your
[01:12:44] friends Isaiah 2 go down to verse 5 said Oh house of Jacob come ye and let us walk
[01:12:59] in the light of the Lord now what is the light of the Lord what is Psalm 119
[01:13:04] 105 say thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path so when the
[01:13:10] Bible talks about walking in the light it's not visualizing some light it's
[01:13:17] talking about the light of God's Word reading it knowing it so he says come on
[01:13:24] people of God let's walk in the light of the Lord but then Isaiah begins to
[01:13:32] prophesy and he says thou he says therefore thou has forsaken thy people
[01:13:37] the house of Jacob because they be replenished from the east and are
[01:13:43] soothsayers like the Philistines and they please themselves in the children
[01:13:48] of strangers or aliens or the pagans heathens outside of the kingdom of God
[01:13:54] please themselves now let's break this down when he says here that they be
[01:13:59] replenished from the east that word plants means to be satisfied to be
[01:14:04] filled they fill themselves with the things of the east now Buddhism we can go
[01:14:12] back 1500 years before Jesus so when Jesus was not Hinduism we go back to
[01:14:22] these Eastern religions they were around a long time not saying that God Almighty
[01:14:27] the God of Abraham executing Jacob has been around long before all of them he
[01:14:31] was the beginning well what I'm talking about when Jesus came on the
[01:14:34] scene physically to walk here when he was referring to don't pray like the
[01:14:40] heathens do the pagans with repetitive prayer he was talking about the Hindu
[01:14:45] the Buddhist you understand he was referring to this and he's saying you
[01:14:50] don't do it like that but he said here my people have become replenished from
[01:14:58] the east and they are soothsayers they're not prophets they're soothsayers
[01:15:04] like the Philistines they're psychics they're mediums they're fortune tellers
[01:15:09] but they call themselves prophets now or seers see let me tell you something
[01:15:19] anybody tells you I'm gonna teach you how to see in the spirit brother you
[01:15:23] better run away because what I'm gonna tell you is what you seek God and the
[01:15:30] gifts of the Spirit are as God wills not as you will and if you are with walking
[01:15:36] with the Lord he will give you what he wants when you you don't conjure it up
[01:15:40] in your own mind if you're conjuring stuff up in your own mind you are
[01:15:46] opening the door for all kinds of demons and this is why the devil will
[01:15:52] test us have just just do whatever he wants in your life he says they please
[01:15:58] themselves and the children of strangers or the some translate say aliens but it
[01:16:03] just means people outside of the kingdom of God outside of Israel the heathen now
[01:16:12] is this the way we want to be no now let's go to Ezekiel 8 now this is part
[01:16:16] of our Bible study Pelham Friday night got this ahead of schedule before y'all
[01:16:22] but we covered some of this the other night we had a good Bible study in
[01:16:31] Pelham but Ezekiel chapter 8 this is where the Lord takes Ezekiel out of his
[01:16:40] body his spirit out of his body takes him to Jerusalem to show him had nothing to
[01:16:44] do with Ezekiel doesn't say Ezekiel was meditating or visualizing or chanting
[01:16:49] but in fact God took him to back to Jerusalem to show him what the
[01:16:55] elders were doing in his temple right before the glory of God left and he
[01:17:03] killed them all and the Lord said I'm gonna I'm about to kill all these people
[01:17:07] I'm gonna start with these elders that are doing this stuff in my house but
[01:17:12] this is what he says he saw the great abominations that he saw in the house
[01:17:17] of God go down to verse 12 you can read this whole chapter later says then
[01:17:31] he said unto me son of man has thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel
[01:17:35] do in the dark every man in the chambers of his imagery that means in the deep
[01:17:44] recesses of their imagination have you seen what they're doing and he said for
[01:17:53] they say the Lord seeth us not the Lord hath forsaken the earth and if you go
[01:17:58] down he tells you what they were doing verse 16 and he brought me to the
[01:18:02] inner court of the Lord's house and behold at the door of the temple of the
[01:18:06] Lord between the porch and the altar were five and twenty men with their backs
[01:18:10] toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east and they
[01:18:16] worshiped the Sun toward these they were practicing Eastern religion the
[01:18:24] practice of yoga is to get up and face the east the rising of the Sun and
[01:18:30] every position in yoga is a bow to the Sun God am I correct teacher it's Sun
[01:18:41] worship I mean the same as we get from ancient Egypt they worshiped what the
[01:18:50] Sun Roman Catholicism y'all seen the Eucharist pull up give me a Sunburst
[01:18:56] Eucharist do you think it's a coincidence that they put the wafer in a Sunburst
[01:19:03] and then everyone bows to it Roman Catholicism it's Sun worship S-U-N not
[01:19:08] S-O-N and you know when they say that Jesus becomes the cookie or the cookie
[01:19:16] becomes the literal flesh of Jesus remember the Bible said if they say
[01:19:20] behold here is Christ or there believe it not it's a cookie but you know
[01:19:26] there's signs and wonders in the Catholic Church where they've had
[01:19:29] cookies turn into human flesh and they've had wine turned into human
[01:19:33] blood it's supernatural all right it's demonic they've had you know Roman
[01:19:43] Catholic mystics have wounds that bleed and are painful they suffer and then
[01:19:50] they'll just appear and then they'll disappear signs and wonders apparitions
[01:19:55] of Mary Fatima and all these others millions upon millions of people signs
[01:20:04] and wonders follow this idolatrous system what'd I tell you yeah put up a
[01:20:14] look at there it's kind of blurry but you can see it you just just look up
[01:20:20] monstrance that they put the wafer in Sun worship now let me go and tell you
[01:20:30] the Bible is very clear in Exodus 20 the Ten Commandments that you're not to
[01:20:34] make any graven images of anything that is in heaven in the earth or under the
[01:20:38] earth to bow down to it the moment you bow to the Sun I don't care you first of
[01:20:47] all ladies if you're wearing yoga pants out in public it's time to repent but if
[01:21:00] you're bowing to the Sun I don't know oh I'm not doing I'm not doing it I'm not
[01:21:04] doing I'm not worshiping the Sun yes you are and you want to know you see
[01:21:13] this one time about knowing your your adversary see he's tricky he has
[01:21:19] methods and he loves to Christianize put Christian terms on occult techniques to
[01:21:27] get access to you and if you open the door through eastern religion practices
[01:21:35] if you open the door the demons are coming in now guess what happens if you
[01:21:42] open the door a little bit and a few of them come in now they have a position
[01:21:47] within you to do more deceiving this is why you want to know why the church is in
[01:21:57] so much trouble this is why I'm gonna tell you right now and I'm just gonna
[01:22:02] say it pastor Greg Locke's church is going to go down the tubes even
[01:22:06] further than already has because he keeps inviting these people into his
[01:22:09] church like Joseph Z I'm just being straight with you I've watched these
[01:22:21] false prophets I saw when Bob Jones the prophet Bob Jones not affiliated with
[01:22:26] the college Bob Jones this is a different Bob Jones he's passed away now
[01:22:30] but Paul came Bob Jones these charismatic Pentecostal prophets Mike
[01:22:35] Bickle with them John Paul Jackson I saw when they went to the vineyard churches
[01:22:41] see I've been around a little while in this thing in the 80s I knew when they
[01:22:45] went but what a lot of people don't know is a guy named Richard Foster who
[01:22:49] wrote a best-selling book back in the 70s called the celebration of discipline
[01:22:54] who is all about this visualization techniques are contemplative
[01:22:58] imaginative prayer guess what John Wimber the head of the vineyard churches
[01:23:03] which the vineyard churches were were all over the world and gave some of the
[01:23:08] best praise and worship music that we've ever heard and John Wimber I believe
[01:23:13] started out legit but he let these people come in practicing this
[01:23:20] counterfeit supernatural ministry and it polluted the entire vineyard churches
[01:23:31] all of them and at the time Kansas City Church of Mike Bickle was a vineyard
[01:23:37] fellowship church the Toronto revival was a vineyard church now I believe the
[01:23:45] beginning of the Toronto revival was God and then these people came in and
[01:23:49] totally contaminated it with this counterfeit supernatural that's why they
[01:23:54] had people barking like dogs and squawking like chickens I'm sorry but I'll
[01:24:01] see anywhere where the anointing of God makes you bark like a dog or squawk like
[01:24:04] a chicken it's foolishness and it's demonic but I have watched these people
[01:24:15] I remember the Brownsville revival was one of the most anointed and one of
[01:24:20] the purest moves of God because I really believe a Steve Hill and John
[01:24:23] Kilpatrick their hearts were sincere and they were about trying to keep it
[01:24:27] pure but even at the end toward the end of the revival they let these
[01:24:32] people come in and start ministering and it ended I was there I saw it happen I
[01:24:37] went week after week I went there for years to the Brownsville nobody can
[01:24:41] tell me I was a eyewitness I was behind the stage I was in the office I talked
[01:24:46] to Lindell I talked to pastor Kilpatrick I talked to Steve Hill I
[01:24:48] talked to dr. Michael Brown I was there all the time I was counseling at the
[01:24:52] altar when they give altar calls my one of my good friends was the
[01:24:57] children's pastor so nobody can these people that think they know what
[01:24:59] happened to the Brownsville revival that never went to a service but I saw
[01:25:05] when it got off track the great Azusa Street revival 1906 was of God an
[01:25:15] outpouring of the Holy Spirit the baptism of the Holy Spirit came the
[01:25:18] gift of tongues came it was a powerful prayer meeting it was so powerful that
[01:25:23] the fire of God rested upon the building like the burning bush people
[01:25:27] thought the building was on fire called fire department people would get
[01:25:31] within two blocks of the church and fall down under the power of God and get up
[01:25:35] and go to the church and get saved but what happened back then is the the
[01:25:41] occult spiritist the counterfeit operators in the demonic realm came in
[01:25:47] pretending to speak in tongues pretending to have words of knowledge
[01:25:52] and prophecies for people and guess what this is the sad part the
[01:25:56] leadership of the Azusa Street revival discerned these people that they were
[01:26:01] witches and spiritists and occultists but didn't stop them didn't expose them
[01:26:07] and cast them out of the church and make sure they kept the the move of God
[01:26:11] pure I'm gonna tell you right now I don't know of a pure charismatic
[01:26:19] Pentecostal church I don't know of one in the country because you open the
[01:26:24] door to people that like like Bethel who opened the door to these same
[01:26:29] people it's the usual suspects but there's a bunch of new ones now I could I can
[01:26:42] name I mean I hurt people's feelings people are still trying to defend Julie
[01:26:46] Greene to me how many false prophecies that you have to give or you say
[01:26:49] enough's enough and you got this Hank Coonam and guy they're everywhere but
[01:27:04] what's funny is I can usually trace them back to a ministry that is doing the
[01:27:11] visualization I can show you in the polluted church I show where Todd Bentley
[01:27:18] teaches that Rick Joyner taught it all the so-called prophets on that stage from
[01:27:27] Jim Gall to Shay on to Campbell the crazy woman shaking her head like a freak
[01:27:32] all of that all of them who who had all these mighty prophecies over Todd Bentley
[01:27:43] that he was gonna be the next apostle of revival while he's cheating on his
[01:27:47] wife not one of them said you're in adultery they all got exposed the whole
[01:27:55] charismatic Pentecostal prophetic movement got exposed in 2008 and yet
[01:28:02] we're still for the most part the majority of the Pentecostal charismatic
[01:28:07] church is still fawning and following and slobbering at the mouth over these
[01:28:12] people pray for me I need a word I need to be activated oh I went to I
[01:28:22] went to one of these meetings well Greg Greg locks deliverance conference we
[01:28:27] went and one of the speakers talked about I'm gonna activate you I'm saying
[01:28:30] you ain't activating me and nothing you will not be laying hands on me activate
[01:28:35] you want to be activated pray and fast and read your Bible until you get full
[01:28:46] of the Holy Ghost stop with this foolishness we don't need to find some
[01:28:56] new technique that's really an old technique yeah that's it old occult
[01:29:04] techniques wrapped up in new Christian packages and boy are they making the
[01:29:10] money selling these books because people want to be supernatural how about just be
[01:29:20] super right now super at reading your Bible super at just praying with your
[01:29:31] normal mind your your words your intellect and really when it's talking
[01:29:40] about that it's your intellect we're supposed to we're supposed to know God's
[01:29:47] word and know the truth by our intellect we're not to make up stuff in our
[01:29:52] imaginations but he tells he warns and it's interesting going all the way back
[01:29:57] to Ezekiel's time that the elders in Jerusalem were into using their the
[01:30:05] deep chambers of their imagery and they were in Eastern religion they were
[01:30:10] worshiping the Sun and what's interesting too is you go over to Ezekiel 13 and
[01:30:15] what do we find about the false prophets what do you say about them verse verse
[01:30:21] two son of man prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesied
[01:30:27] Satan and them that prophesy out of their own hearts that's out of their own
[01:30:31] minds thus sayeth the Lord God woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own
[01:30:36] spirit and have seen nothing their own if you're if you're creating images in
[01:30:43] your own heart and mind through the use of your imagination it is from you not
[01:30:50] the Holy Spirit I know I've said that formally beat it into you if I got to
[01:30:56] sit on the floor and contemplate and create what I think heaven looks like or
[01:31:01] what I think Jesus looks like and try to communicate with that until that
[01:31:04] thing starts communicating with me it is of my creation it's not the Creator and
[01:31:11] it's interesting how Romans warned that they would be worshiping the creature
[01:31:18] instead of the Creator a lot of people create fantasies in their mind a lot of
[01:31:32] people create fantasies in their mind Siri didn't understand that oh Lord
[01:31:51] help I don't mind repeating it for Siri it's okay maybe she'll learn something
[01:32:01] right but when I say no you're your adversary when I say no the wiles of the
[01:32:10] devil he's crept into the church and he's crept in he's more he's more subtle
[01:32:16] and he's more sophisticated but this is why Paul said give no place to the
[01:32:22] devil and I'm going to tell you any submission to anything from the Roman
[01:32:27] Catholic Church is opening the door to demons partaking of their so-called
[01:32:32] Eucharist and their whole hocus-pocus they go through with that from kneeling
[01:32:38] at a you know they'll put the cookie in a little tabernacle up front and people
[01:32:42] bow down and worship the cookie you don't worship the cookie but the moment
[01:32:49] see this is why Paul said about idols you know what he said in first
[01:32:52] Corinthians about the about idols he says the idols not anything a statue of
[01:32:56] wood whatever it's not anything he says it's the demons that are attached to the
[01:33:04] idol and that when you submit to the idol you have what he said fellowship
[01:33:10] with demons the word fellowship is the same word used for fellowship with the
[01:33:17] Holy Spirit it's partnership it's unification with and if we open the
[01:33:24] door Ecclesiastes 10 8 and this gets into the area of deliverance a lot of
[01:33:32] people Christian can't have a demo oh yes they can all you got to ask is one
[01:33:35] question can a Christian sin can a Christian practice some occult technique
[01:33:40] and think they're gonna get away with that no no no no if you give place to the
[01:33:44] devil Paul would have said to Christians in
[01:33:48] Ephesus who were saints he said they were saints and faithful he said give
[01:33:53] no place to the devil he wouldn't have said that if it wasn't possible for
[01:33:57] Christians to give place to the devil and then here we have this he that
[01:34:03] dig at the pit shall fall into it and whosoever breaks the hedge a serpent will
[01:34:09] bite him if you dig the pit yourself he said if you break the hedge yet God puts
[01:34:17] a protective hedge around his people but if you break it by participating in
[01:34:23] something satanic demonic occultic a serpents gonna bite you let me tell you
[01:34:29] what happens I've been bitten by a water moccasin you know what they do
[01:34:32] fangs go in you it's not pleasant and they leave some poison in you to kill
[01:34:37] you and that's what it's about when you open the door to demons who Jesus said
[01:34:44] are like serpents and scorpions they they insert they go into you not upon
[01:34:49] you they go in and they leave something in there to bring about harm to you and
[01:34:57] if you've opened the door to the devil through this imaginative prayer or
[01:35:01] repetitive prayer or letting one of these Christian gurus lay hands on you
[01:35:05] then you have given place to the devil and I'm gonna tell you that's why you've
[01:35:10] had more struggles in your life if you've submitted to these people because I
[01:35:14] made the mistake when I was a young man of letting that Bob Jones false prophet
[01:35:18] lay hands on me and pray for me and the moment I did guess what it opened
[01:35:22] the door it gave place to all the demon spirits of perversion hordums and
[01:35:28] lusts that that man had and boy let me tell you what I had a rough week until I
[01:35:34] bound a repented first because I knew I shouldn't let that man lay hands on me
[01:35:40] this is before I really knew about him but I had a check in my spirit when I
[01:35:44] got to the meeting when he because he preached his sermon was so convoluted and
[01:35:49] off-base I should have known but I was young and zealous about I want God and
[01:35:56] this is where the devil gets us we want the supernatural it's nothing wrong
[01:36:00] with that we want the gifts of the Holy Spirit we want to see the power of God
[01:36:03] manifest but we cannot open the doors to the counterfeit or take shortcuts and I'm
[01:36:13] gonna tell you what it wasn't it took me a week to bind other demons that came
[01:36:18] in from there and to deal with my own self and then I had to help so the
[01:36:21] people that the church folk that I took to his meeting oh Lord so I had to
[01:36:26] help pray with them cast all the deep and then come to find out when I found
[01:36:30] out what that man was about I found out he was a sexual deviant he was in sexual
[01:36:36] sin while he's in the ministry and he's the one talking about traveling outside
[01:36:41] your body he's the one that taught most of them this stuff Bob Jones that false
[01:36:46] profit that laid hands on me so you want to talk about knowing personally and
[01:36:54] so when I hear these people like okay this doctor this dr. Bruce Allen that I
[01:36:58] showed today I've got transcript of a video I've got it in my phone I just
[01:37:02] didn't send it to Kelsey where he says guess what guess what meetings he went to
[01:37:06] regularly back in the day Bob Jones Paul Kane the same suspects they've been
[01:37:15] polluting the entire church world with their counterfeit false prophecy spirits
[01:37:23] of divination familiar spirits and let me tell you there's a what's sad is
[01:37:31] there's a lot of Christians who have come out of Roman Catholicism who've
[01:37:37] never been delivered from their Roman Catholic demons let me tell you Cheetra
[01:37:43] I'll tell you Cheetra comes out of you know she's from India she come out of
[01:37:48] your her family's into Hinduism but she said she never really that was never
[01:37:52] really what she was into she she loved Mother Mary because see over there you
[01:37:57] could just add you just add a God in there you don't have to get rid of the
[01:38:02] other one she just add some more it's okay there's so many but when we did her
[01:38:07] deliverance you would have thought because of the generational stuff of
[01:38:11] Hinduism in her family that would have been the demons that would have been
[01:38:15] passed down to her that I thought well that's gonna be the stronghold that's
[01:38:19] gonna be the real strong ones that we're gonna have to cast out no here's
[01:38:23] when we got to the Roman Catholic idolatry of bowing and praying to
[01:38:26] Mother Mary boy she manifested and now she don't mind me telling this I
[01:38:31] mean here's the PhD in physics demons taking over and won't let her speak I
[01:38:39] tried to get her to say it to say in the name of Jesus she wouldn't she couldn't
[01:38:44] even move her mouth she couldn't even talk but when we got rid of the demon
[01:38:48] spirit of Mother Mary and Roman Catholic idolatry she got free another lady
[01:38:55] years ago we prayed for that had been into Roman Catholicism because she's
[01:39:00] Bolivian we started I thought it was going to be you know she had all kind
[01:39:06] of problems constant migraines she had constant she had nosebleeds she had
[01:39:11] partial in and out paralysis on the left side of her body got all kind of
[01:39:16] stuff going on she had to have a hysterectomy at some point I mean she had
[01:39:19] one thing after another and we get down to pray with her and we're praying over
[01:39:25] some other stuff and I'm thinking you know she had a sister that was into
[01:39:29] Santeria and she went to like one Santeria meeting I thought oh this is
[01:39:33] what's gonna be this is what's gonna be the big demon no we got to the
[01:39:37] demon spirits of Roman Catholicism that were in her idolatry Mary worship I
[01:39:42] got we bound those demons in Jesus name and started to cast them out of her it
[01:39:49] was like somebody turned on a faucet the blood poured from her nose like I mean
[01:39:56] just it didn't just run out it shot out she threw up stuff that she didn't eat
[01:40:03] for dinner cuz she ate dinner with us there was some weird blobs of stuff
[01:40:09] that came out of her and we were there for a while getting the Roman Catholic
[01:40:15] idolatry demons out of her but let me tell you when she got delivered no more
[01:40:22] migraines no more paralysis no more diesel issues she was because she was
[01:40:31] having in-and-out paralysis like just oh well I guess now like Bell palsy type
[01:40:35] stuff is coming go come and go and she had to learn how to fight though she
[01:40:40] had to learn how to after that she had to learn to resist the devil because she
[01:40:43] was a little weak and passive she would say stuff like she'd start
[01:40:46] getting attacked again after her delivery she called me one time she
[01:40:50] went to visit her family down in Miami she called me one time I'm starting to
[01:40:53] get attacked again and I said you got to command them to go she goes demons you
[01:40:59] have to go oh you need no chance she said you need to go I said what did you
[01:41:05] just say I said no no no no no it's not what you do you say I bind these
[01:41:10] demons and I command you to go for me in Jesus name you do it with authority
[01:41:16] and with force and this is another thing when I'm get to the the the
[01:41:21] principle of binding and loosing you have to do you bind demons you never loose
[01:41:26] demons you bind demons and loose people but it's simple you get attacked by a
[01:41:32] spirit of lust bind it I bind the spirits of lust in Jesus name you get
[01:41:36] attacked by anger I bind the demon spirits of anger wrath rage you get
[01:41:42] attacked by witchcraft I bind the spirits of witchcraft divination sorcery
[01:41:48] you get you feeling heavy and depressed I bind the spirit of heaviness and
[01:41:51] depression despair by these demons and command them to go for me in Jesus name
[01:41:55] this is how you resist and speak the word and quit being lazy you're told to
[01:42:06] take every thought captive that means control your mind that means every
[01:42:13] thought somebody say every thought put this last passage it'll be like I
[01:42:20] promise last one I'm Pentecost so I get three closings this is third one
[01:42:24] second Corinthians 10 3 through 5 there he says here for though we walk in the
[01:42:44] flesh we do not war after the flesh what did you say here for the weapons of our
[01:42:51] warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling of down of
[01:42:54] strongholds casting down imaginations not using imagination casting down
[01:43:06] imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of
[01:43:11] God notice he said and that means imaginations about itself right there
[01:43:16] and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and
[01:43:21] bringing into captivity every thought if you don't control your mind Satan
[01:43:29] will and this is what he's after if he can control your mind then he has you
[01:43:38] period because what you constantly think on you will do as a man thinketh
[01:43:47] in his heart so is he the from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
[01:43:54] abundance you meditate on depression and things that are depressing you you will
[01:44:03] be depressed maybe even suicidal you let yourself if you keep letting the
[01:44:10] thoughts grow one upon another one upon another you hear me you got to know your
[01:44:18] adversary the number one battleground of this warfare is in your mind and
[01:44:23] your mind is your soul your soul is your mind will and emotions your intellect
[01:44:31] your consciousness your spirit is completely different than your soul and
[01:44:36] then you have a body you are a three-part being so I'm gonna tell you
[01:44:46] what the only tell you the main thing the Lord told me but I was sitting back
[01:44:48] there about why he said go this direction today he said cuz there's
[01:44:51] still people in here still people listening to me you've heard me preach
[01:44:56] on spiritual warfare and deliverance you may be even heard me talk about the
[01:45:00] counterfeit supernatural the devil brings into the church but you're still
[01:45:05] being lazy and letting the devil beat on your mind letting him tempt you until you
[01:45:10] give into it and you're still fooling around with some of these false
[01:45:17] contaminators like I said there's probably ninety nine point nine percent
[01:45:28] of Pentecostal and Charismatic churches in America I would not set foot in
[01:45:32] because they have not kept themselves from being contaminated and look we've
[01:45:38] had folks come in here and try that crap and I say I send them right back out the
[01:45:44] door we've had witches coming here Satan is coming here government agents
[01:45:49] coming here to see Christians coming here it won't listen and stop their
[01:45:52] their stupid stuff they're doing and I'll give them a chance I'll let a
[01:45:56] Satanist a witch sitting here hopefully they'll get saved I've seen Satanist and
[01:45:59] witches get saved but if they start doing their hocus-pocus and interfering
[01:46:02] with our prayer meeting like one tried to do I stopped her in the middle of her
[01:46:06] prayer and said go you're not going to interfere with our prayer meeting what's
[01:46:13] funny about her some of y'all remember cuz y'all were here but what I found out
[01:46:18] about her was that she ran into a friend of mine lives down in Florida and
[01:46:21] he told me he said did you remove somebody from your church not too long
[01:46:26] ago in the prayer meeting I said yeah he told me her name he said she was
[01:46:30] talking to my wife she had worked at a place down in Florida before she came
[01:46:35] here and my friend's wife was talking to her and he said while his wife was
[01:46:39] talking to her before even got to her the Lord said she's a Satan she's a witch
[01:46:42] and then he point blank ask her some stuff and she admitted to it so here
[01:46:49] what I'm saying yeah we're just we're gonna do our best I mean every church
[01:46:55] I'll tell you this much every church and especially if they're doing anything
[01:47:00] for God Satan will try to send infiltrators to it every church and the
[01:47:06] ones that do nothing about it guess how many their church is loaded with them
[01:47:11] and they're usually keeping the children that's where they go for first is the
[01:47:17] children's ministry then they want to get in the prayer meeting and interfere
[01:47:23] with that then they want to sure love get into a sunny school class letting
[01:47:28] start teaching and build credibility yeah there's an eight-point plan that
[01:47:33] Satanists have to infiltrate a church and they implement it all the time you
[01:47:40] should be surprised the Jesuits oh we got Jesuit agents everywhere Paul said we
[01:47:52] would live in perilous time folks and the Lord told me years ago he told me he
[01:47:59] said you're gonna have everything from government agents to high level
[01:48:03] Satanists are gonna come to your church it's gonna happen sometimes the
[01:48:10] Lord shows me immediately sometimes he lets some time go by and then we finally
[01:48:14] figure it out it's not my control I just pray for him to show me but you should
[01:48:22] be careful we've had some you know we are very strict at Skyfall about having a
[01:48:27] prayer team and only these people can lay hands on you and we've had people still
[01:48:31] even though you got big orange badge on only let these people pray for you we
[01:48:34] got and tell people in there out in the crowd don't be praying for people
[01:48:39] if you don't you're not if we didn't ask you and you don't have one of
[01:48:41] these badges on we still people try to weasel their way down and sneak and lay
[01:48:45] hands on people we had to throw people out of Skyfall 2019 I go sit down or
[01:48:51] you're out of here because see let me tell you shepherds first priority should
[01:49:00] be protect the flock so I don't mind people say oh he's mean I got people all
[01:49:10] the time they hate me oh he actually throws people out of church like that's
[01:49:13] some weird thing Paul did it and he said what we were not to put up with
[01:49:23] we're not to put up with people with divination spirits trying to infiltrate
[01:49:28] our church or people bringing in false doctrine or people sowing division and
[01:49:31] strife we're not to tolerate that we're not to just let that go on we're not
[01:49:35] just oh we just love them until they change no while they're dividing the
[01:49:38] church or are contaminating someone with demon spirits no I had a witch try to
[01:49:44] come to my church when I was pastored in Montgomery you know what she wanted
[01:49:47] to do I knew she was a witch and you would tell you why I knew she was a
[01:49:50] witch first of all the Lord showed me and and she kept doing very seductive
[01:49:55] things toward me and then she made the mistake of leaving her notebook at our
[01:50:00] house when I after a Bible study would had at my house and opened up her little
[01:50:05] notebook to where she had a calendar where it said that her assignment was to
[01:50:12] make me fall into sexual sin with her within two years yeah saw it written in
[01:50:20] her notebook and she kept trying to get into it that time we had a children's
[01:50:26] church ministry she kept trying to get in there oh she was I'll keep the nursery
[01:50:30] I'll do I said you know you're not you're not keeping anybody you're not
[01:50:33] doing anything I said I don't see you lay hands on everybody you're not just sit
[01:50:38] out and then finally I told her I said look we know what you are I let her
[01:50:43] stay for a while praying for her hoping that she would come clean and tell me
[01:50:48] the truth and I sat her down and I said look here's the deal I know who
[01:50:53] you are and I know what you're doing and I said I said I saw what was in your
[01:50:57] notebook I said now one of two things you can come clean you can tell me the
[01:51:05] truth you can say I'm ready to come out of this out of the Satanism and the
[01:51:10] witchcraft and repent I said we'll help you and do whatever we can do for you I
[01:51:15] said but if you lie to me right now and act like this is not so then you're out
[01:51:21] of here don't come back so then she starts crying
[01:51:24] oh yeah that's none of that's true I'm like just drive the tears it ain't
[01:51:31] working stop them immediately see most of you've been moved by oh I must be wrong
[01:51:38] because she crying actresses no and you know what she wouldn't admit it she
[01:51:50] sat there and crossed her arms it was a little got a little miss stubborn I said
[01:51:54] all right do not come back to this church she went to another church in
[01:51:59] town and they just let her stay there and she just tore it up she had people
[01:52:06] no kind of sexual sin with her and just dividing and false doctrines and who
[01:52:12] knows she probably got they probably let her work in the children's ministry so
[01:52:19] this one you know when Nancy and I we had a little break in like 2010 where we
[01:52:25] weren't doing the church so we would we'd go to other churches sometimes did
[01:52:31] we ever drop little faith Marie off in a nursery anywhere new never either she'd
[01:52:41] be in a little car seat in this next to us I remember walking into one church
[01:52:47] where were we in Georgia we looked in the children's that room oh but it's a
[01:52:57] church shouldn't we trust the people in the church aren't they all sweet little
[01:53:02] Christians no they're not no they're not know your adversary because what does it
[01:53:12] say in second Corinthians to let if we are ignorant of the devil's devices he
[01:53:19] will get an advantage over us ignorance will kill you ignorance will open the
[01:53:25] doors so let's stand you got a good win all right let's do a song before we leave
[01:53:39] I know you've been here a little while but like I said you know you know back
[01:53:43] in the old days you had church Sunday morning and then you had church Sunday
[01:53:49] night so what I do is just combine the two but again what you're getting here
[01:54:00] this is not sermonets for Christian that's this is teaching this is
[01:54:03] training and this is why we're here longer than the mega church down there
[01:54:08] and when if your minds don't get into the chips and salsa more than getting
[01:54:14] the word in you then there's a problem but if I got you one day a week I'm
[01:54:18] gonna keep you for a good college class all right well let's let's worship the
[01:54:24] Lord with this song here this I love this song six minutes let's give the Lord
[01:54:30] six minutes of worship before we go amen all right go ahead and mighty God the
[02:01:10] creator of heaven and earth Lord and Lord God you can reveal yourself to us
[02:01:14] without us using our own imaginations to create our own visions and ideas Lord
[02:01:20] you will reveal yourself and Holy Spirit we know you move as you will not as we
[02:01:26] will and we want the real thing Lord we want the real gifts of the Holy Spirit
[02:01:32] prophecy words of knowledge gifts of healing and working of miracles
[02:01:37] discerning of spirits faith tongues and interpretation of tongues or true
[02:01:42] visions and dreams that are from you and not conjured up in our own minds Lord
[02:01:48] we don't want any occult satanic origins or sources or practices we want
[02:01:56] you and that's what we pray for and we're willing to wait and not cheat we
[02:02:05] thank you for it Lord it's in Jesus name we pray amen amen all right somebody
[02:02:11] praise the Lord in this place just so you know we are going to be fellowship
[02:02:21] and even downstairs so if you want to stay go down go get you something to
[02:02:24] come back and we'll be here for a little while we were going to have a
[02:02:29] baptism that is canceled and I will explain why in a minute to the individual
[02:02:35] but so yeah fire and grace school of ministry applications are due by August
[02:02:44] the first so get though you need to get started because some of them if you're
[02:02:47] going to get your recommendations pastoral recommendations and others now if you
[02:02:52] don't have a pastor because you just can't find a church and you hadn't had a
[02:02:56] relationship with a pastor that's okay just send it in anyway we'll you know we
[02:03:01] don't make that a absolute deal-breaker or anything but anyway get on that and
[02:03:06] let me just say this too about deliverance if you want to know more
[02:03:09] about deliverance and there it is fg ministry school good calm on the screen
[02:03:13] there apply by August 1st and that's the only time to get in the school you
[02:03:18] can do part-time or full-time but but about deliverance and if you can go
[02:03:22] to bnodal.org and hit the deliverance button show them there you can go there
[02:03:28] and what we have people do because people contact me about deliverance all
[02:03:31] the time I have people before we do anything they have to listen to the
[02:03:36] entire deliverance series teaching and then they fill out our hundred question
[02:03:42] questionnaire but do not send us your questionnaire we do not want that that
[02:03:47] is for you okay what we encourage people to do is to make their list and
[02:03:52] start praying through it themselves and do as much as you can yourselves if you
[02:03:55] get to a part where are you do it and you think you still need help then then
[02:04:00] after that's when we talk and consider what needs to be done next but it's
[02:04:05] something that you need to pursue and you need to do those things so I tell
[02:04:09] people they need to watch the deliverance series so all questions and
[02:04:13] false doctrine and things that you've been taught by your denomination gets
[02:04:16] out of your head you just get the word of God in you on the subject and
[02:04:19] then that way your face not in pastor Dean was in the word and what needs to be
[02:04:24] done and let me tell you what we don't we don't talk to demons we don't have long
[02:04:28] conversations with demons matter of fact most time when we pray for people we
[02:04:31] don't have I don't let them die say what Jesus demons start talking with
[02:04:35] Jesus shut up hold your peace come out of them we deal with it that way we
[02:04:40] also deal with it in a way where we don't try to embarrass anybody we try to
[02:04:44] deal most of it in private I've have had some things in public manifest will
[02:04:49] deal with that what we can but a thorough deliverance cannot be done five
[02:04:52] minutes at an altar somewhere okay it has to be to cover everything you got to
[02:04:56] be thorough so it's more about discipleship and thoroughly clean cleaning
[02:05:00] out so if you heard me mention that and you want to find out more about it
[02:05:04] that maybe it's the first time you've heard anything about it go to Dean
