WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:09.940 Okay, my first question was on faith. Is it possible for me to carry enough faith for somebody who is lacking in it? 00:11.580 --> 00:15.800 Let me answer that with a question. Do we find it in Scripture? 00:18.060 --> 00:18.700 No. 00:20.180 --> 00:22.160 Or is it in Scripture? 00:24.740 --> 00:26.120 Yes, yes. 00:27.220 --> 00:28.240 It is possible. 00:28.240 --> 00:33.880 It happened again more in the Gospels because these people were not even saved. 00:35.300 --> 00:38.920 So someone would help carry it for them somehow. 00:39.600 --> 00:45.040 But even after the church started, you find people helping others with their faith. 00:46.460 --> 00:50.960 Jesus gave us principles, two or three agree. See, we're helping each other with faith. 00:51.860 --> 00:56.240 It is possible. Now this takes us into a question I'm going to answer right out of the gates. 00:56.240 --> 00:57.960 Because this is going to come up. 00:58.760 --> 01:05.180 Can I cause something to happen in someone else's life against their will? 01:05.620 --> 01:09.780 In other words, someone wants a demon. 01:10.920 --> 01:13.240 Someone doesn't want Jesus. 01:14.700 --> 01:19.660 Well, I'm going to pray and fast until they're forced to. They will have to. 01:19.960 --> 01:23.100 Can you force someone against their will? 01:23.100 --> 01:27.940 No. We're made free will agents and God never... 01:27.940 --> 01:32.360 There's never an example in Scripture where he forces us against our will. 01:32.840 --> 01:41.620 Now, he will bring them to a point of decision to where it's just easy for them to decide to submit to God and do it his way. 01:42.020 --> 01:46.420 But if they resist, they'll back out and then he'll bring them to it again and then they'll back out. 01:46.600 --> 01:51.720 Some people do that for years. And it's like, why don't you just get it together? 01:51.720 --> 01:56.940 But they just back away and then they come back away and you can see God working in their life. 01:57.560 --> 02:04.320 But if my friend wants to be an alcoholic, I can't stop him. 02:04.660 --> 02:05.860 Force him to stop. 02:07.080 --> 02:12.420 Because now, his free will would be being overridden. 02:13.280 --> 02:18.260 And if there's one thing that God gave us as human beings is we've got free will. 02:19.020 --> 02:20.940 He will never override it. 02:21.840 --> 02:24.820 So, you can pray them to a point of decision. 02:25.760 --> 02:27.600 You can pray them into jail. 02:28.520 --> 02:29.420 We've done that. 02:30.400 --> 02:33.620 Lord, just let them get picked up for their DUI or their DWI. 02:34.700 --> 02:38.240 Let them crash the car into a tree so they just can't get out of this. 02:39.080 --> 02:45.580 Just whatever it takes to get them to face themselves, you can pray them up into that decision. 02:47.620 --> 02:52.080 But you can't force them to make a decision they don't want to make. 02:52.760 --> 02:53.380 Doesn't work. 02:54.140 --> 02:54.940 Is there a question? 02:56.580 --> 02:57.420 You got one back there? 02:58.000 --> 03:00.220 There's one at the front here. Let's go with the front first. 03:01.600 --> 03:05.480 So, if there's generational curses and stuff like that, 03:06.400 --> 03:10.480 and I don't want my future kids to have any of that, 03:10.480 --> 03:15.840 am I able to play the long game and get ahead of that now before they're even here? 03:16.340 --> 03:16.880 Yes, absolutely. 03:19.940 --> 03:23.280 And again, we'll go into the specific scriptures on that, 03:23.780 --> 03:28.740 but we have the right to break, again, 03:29.180 --> 03:33.220 the sins of the fathers is allowed to pass on three to four generations. 03:35.020 --> 03:38.900 So, this spirit, even though we're free of it, 03:39.840 --> 03:43.580 is going to circle around every generation for three to four generations, 03:43.720 --> 03:44.760 try to trip somebody up. 03:45.220 --> 03:47.660 But we can live free that whole time. 03:48.320 --> 03:51.260 Us, our kids, our grandkids and our great grandkids. 03:51.900 --> 03:56.820 We can live free, but they will circle around. 03:57.920 --> 04:01.200 But yes, you can get in front of it and make their life so much better. 04:02.400 --> 04:05.260 For those of you who are the first ones out, 04:05.260 --> 04:09.340 you're struggling with stuff that I will never have to struggle with 04:09.340 --> 04:14.600 because I have generations on both sides of my family that served God. 04:15.160 --> 04:19.180 And there are blessings to that that are unfathomable. 04:21.100 --> 04:27.540 It's just so much easier for someone to live for God 04:27.540 --> 04:32.840 when others have plowed the spiritual ground ahead of them. 04:33.380 --> 04:36.480 If you're the first one plowing, it's going to be a little tougher for you. 04:37.740 --> 04:38.900 That's just the way it is. 04:39.340 --> 04:39.980 But you can. 04:40.860 --> 04:44.020 See, you're the second generation that you know of? 04:44.200 --> 04:46.880 Did your grandparents, anybody there serve God? 04:47.000 --> 04:47.180 No. 04:47.940 --> 04:49.460 Great grandparents that you know of? 04:49.920 --> 04:54.960 I think my great-grandfather was a reverend who cares about it. 04:56.060 --> 04:58.020 So you might have something there, 04:58.220 --> 04:59.620 and it skipped a generation, nobody. 05:00.360 --> 05:01.180 And your mom is. 05:01.180 --> 05:02.180 Yeah. 05:02.360 --> 05:05.040 And now it's you, so we got two generations for sure. 05:05.340 --> 05:06.400 Your kids would be number three. 05:06.980 --> 05:07.320 Okay. 05:07.760 --> 05:11.080 So every generation, you can gain ground on it. 05:12.360 --> 05:17.180 And literally my, you know, there's, if the generations understand this 05:17.960 --> 05:19.100 and fight the fight, 05:21.080 --> 05:24.700 I'm more free than my predecessor generation was. 05:24.980 --> 05:27.500 And my children should be more free than I am. 05:27.500 --> 05:30.760 And my grandchildren should walk in a freedom that's way beyond me. 05:31.460 --> 05:36.820 Because the blessing of the father's passes on a thousand generations. 05:36.960 --> 05:40.680 So we're literally being blessed for the things Adam did right. 05:41.380 --> 05:43.580 We're not a thousand generations away from Adam yet. 05:44.240 --> 05:47.560 So everybody in history who's ever done anything right, 05:47.660 --> 05:49.720 that accumulates on us. 05:50.100 --> 05:56.540 Where God limited the ancestral demonic side to four generations. 05:56.540 --> 05:58.760 But now if it can reestablish. 05:59.580 --> 06:01.220 Let's use an example. 06:02.020 --> 06:06.360 Let's say that someone was huge into, 06:07.160 --> 06:13.360 we always pick big things that are not, you know, the big to the church, 06:13.520 --> 06:14.760 but everything's the same. 06:15.100 --> 06:18.240 So let's go with one that the church usually doesn't consider sin at all. 06:18.980 --> 06:20.840 Let's say someone was huge into gossip. 06:22.580 --> 06:23.660 You say, what's gossip? 06:23.660 --> 06:27.280 Gossip is talking to someone else about a different person. 06:27.780 --> 06:31.240 And you have no intention of doing anything about it. 06:31.300 --> 06:32.940 It's a negative speech, not a positive. 06:33.140 --> 06:36.360 It's not like, oh man, Dave Warren is the most awesome guy. 06:36.780 --> 06:37.780 I love the guy. 06:38.100 --> 06:39.100 He's serving God. 06:39.300 --> 06:40.480 He's after with his whole heart. 06:40.640 --> 06:41.280 It's not that. 06:41.920 --> 06:44.040 It's, you know who Jason is? 06:46.380 --> 06:46.860 Yeah. 06:48.000 --> 06:49.520 Well, I don't want to say too much. 06:51.540 --> 06:52.820 But that guy's a jerk. 06:55.560 --> 06:58.960 He did this to me and he said this to me. 06:59.380 --> 07:00.140 And do you know? 07:00.800 --> 07:01.600 Do you know what I'm doing? 07:03.860 --> 07:09.320 Unless you're willing to go with me to Jason and fix this. 07:10.060 --> 07:12.900 If we have no intentions of talking to him at all, 07:13.000 --> 07:14.620 this is just me and you. 07:14.860 --> 07:16.620 I just got to have somebody got to talk to. 07:17.420 --> 07:18.140 You're gossiping. 07:20.780 --> 07:22.580 And God hates it. 07:23.900 --> 07:24.040 Right? 07:24.880 --> 07:29.680 So let's say that great grandma had a gossip problem. 07:33.350 --> 07:36.330 And grandma picked it up. 07:38.650 --> 07:41.550 But mom said no. 07:41.910 --> 07:43.550 Or dad, whoever's in that line. 07:44.850 --> 07:47.610 And taught me to say no. 07:47.610 --> 07:50.650 So we've only had two generations where this thing connected. 07:51.210 --> 07:53.610 The next two generations, we unhooked from it. 07:56.490 --> 08:00.370 And my children know we're not doing this. 08:01.670 --> 08:02.850 So now we're three in. 08:04.530 --> 08:10.970 But in my grandchildren, somebody picks it up. 08:11.110 --> 08:14.850 They just love to talk about other people in a negative fashion. 08:19.070 --> 08:21.570 It just hooked up for another four generations. 08:22.810 --> 08:26.530 You just gave it right to hang around and see if it can get back in again. 08:26.930 --> 08:28.190 For four more generations. 08:29.230 --> 08:31.190 You said, well, you can take authority over it and stop it. 08:31.270 --> 08:31.690 You can. 08:32.450 --> 08:36.950 But God said it has access for four generations. 08:37.750 --> 08:42.310 So you can get it out and be free of it 08:42.950 --> 08:45.590 as long as nobody hooks up again to it. 08:45.590 --> 08:47.590 Now if we can get past four generations, 08:47.710 --> 08:49.850 we can pull gossip out of the family line 08:49.850 --> 08:52.210 and it's like the craving, the desire for it, 08:52.210 --> 08:53.910 the driving to do it goes away. 08:53.990 --> 08:55.230 It doesn't mean you can't do it. 08:55.430 --> 08:57.370 But that compelling drive. 08:58.010 --> 08:59.790 That's usually how you can tell the demons involved. 09:00.390 --> 09:01.970 There's a compelling drive. 09:02.430 --> 09:03.770 Now this can be flesh too. 09:04.590 --> 09:07.150 Because remember, Jesus sweat drops of blood, 09:07.370 --> 09:08.730 not resisting demons. 09:10.230 --> 09:12.770 He sweat drops of blood, resisting his flesh. 09:13.630 --> 09:15.490 His flesh did not want to be crucified. 09:16.910 --> 09:19.870 And that old nature, that physical body, 09:19.970 --> 09:21.370 he had to be tempted like us. 09:21.830 --> 09:23.550 He resisted that thing so hard. 09:23.670 --> 09:24.490 He sweat drops of blood. 09:24.590 --> 09:25.590 That had nothing to do with demons. 09:25.910 --> 09:26.870 He wasn't warring demons. 09:27.110 --> 09:27.770 That was his flesh. 09:28.750 --> 09:30.350 So it can go either way. 09:30.770 --> 09:32.270 And there's some ways you can divide it. 09:32.530 --> 09:34.690 But demons are usually very driving. 09:36.890 --> 09:40.370 And it's just like, I have to do this. 09:42.350 --> 09:44.510 Yeah, you better check a little deeper on that. 09:44.630 --> 09:46.310 It might not be just you. 09:46.530 --> 09:49.050 There might be a critter there who isn't helping you. 09:51.590 --> 09:53.390 And we can get free of all that stuff. 09:53.530 --> 09:55.230 Just like you said, we can get in front of it for our kids 09:55.230 --> 09:56.450 and teach them. 09:56.870 --> 09:59.030 But somebody has to carry the baton. 10:00.330 --> 10:01.490 And keep it in the air. 10:01.710 --> 10:02.390 We're not doing this. 10:02.490 --> 10:03.130 We're not doing this. 10:03.250 --> 10:03.950 We're not doing this. 10:08.290 --> 10:10.430 Because you know what gossip causes, don't you? 10:10.530 --> 10:11.670 You know why God is so against it? 10:13.070 --> 10:14.530 Gossip causes division. 10:15.090 --> 10:15.970 It divides people. 10:17.290 --> 10:22.070 I'm going to gossip with Molly about Sarah. 10:22.790 --> 10:25.910 And you need to stay away from Sarah because she's really bad. 10:27.270 --> 10:28.530 I've got stories. 10:31.390 --> 10:35.310 Because negative information about another person is never, 10:36.110 --> 10:37.510 Sarah is really bad. 10:38.030 --> 10:39.570 She treated me so bad. 10:39.910 --> 10:42.510 Would you go with me and help me fix our relationship? 10:43.070 --> 10:44.910 No, that's not where gossip goes. 10:45.430 --> 10:47.650 Gossip is to divide you away. 10:48.010 --> 10:49.730 And you and me are going to buddy up. 10:50.290 --> 10:51.430 And some are no there. 10:54.010 --> 10:55.290 That's what gossip does. 10:55.290 --> 11:00.550 And where you find strife and division, 11:02.490 --> 11:03.490 what does it say? 11:04.810 --> 11:08.750 You find every evil thing. 11:10.190 --> 11:12.910 Now stop and think about that in the realm of demons. 11:15.470 --> 11:17.950 Where you have strife and division. 11:18.510 --> 11:20.170 And you're habitually living in this. 11:20.290 --> 11:22.190 This isn't just, I shouldn't have said that. 11:22.310 --> 11:23.190 God forgive me, I'm sorry. 11:23.730 --> 11:24.650 No, this is you. 11:24.650 --> 11:26.310 You just love the drama. 11:26.770 --> 11:29.890 You love getting your little harem, 11:30.030 --> 11:30.970 your little group together 11:30.970 --> 11:32.710 and other people are outside of it 11:32.710 --> 11:35.230 and it makes you feel safe and whatever the deal is. 11:35.790 --> 11:36.870 This is how you live. 11:38.470 --> 11:43.430 It opens you up to every evil thing. 11:44.830 --> 11:47.750 You can get spirits of suicide out of that. 11:48.110 --> 11:50.390 You can get spirits of perversion out of that. 11:50.670 --> 11:52.590 You can get spirits of murder out of that. 11:52.590 --> 11:55.810 You can get every kind of spirit there is 11:55.810 --> 11:57.250 you opened yourself up to. 11:59.550 --> 12:01.110 Because you submitted to that kingdom. 12:03.770 --> 12:06.030 So go back to the question I asked at the beginning. 12:07.690 --> 12:09.570 Why do you think Christians in America 12:09.570 --> 12:11.350 actually have problems with demons? 12:12.630 --> 12:14.930 You know how many gossips we have in church? 12:20.160 --> 12:21.540 Yeah, you see what she wore? 12:22.800 --> 12:25.720 That ugly old thing, she wore it twice this month. 12:26.520 --> 12:27.420 What is wrong? 12:27.620 --> 12:29.340 I mean, my question is women, 12:29.520 --> 12:31.180 what is wrong with you that you care? 12:33.320 --> 12:34.760 Some things broken. 12:38.500 --> 12:40.920 Because you're actually trying to elevate yourself 12:40.920 --> 12:43.400 above the other person over what they wore. 12:44.460 --> 12:45.400 They wore it twice. 12:46.980 --> 12:48.260 I would never do that. 12:48.260 --> 12:50.220 Oh, let's bow down to worship you. 12:51.620 --> 12:52.700 It's weird. 12:54.880 --> 12:56.360 Guys have their own way, 12:56.460 --> 12:58.380 but women have some really dumb things. 12:59.960 --> 13:02.200 I mean, I never said dumb women. 13:02.360 --> 13:03.580 I said dumb things. 13:05.120 --> 13:09.860 If there's one thing I know most honest 13:09.860 --> 13:12.540 pastor's wives despise 13:14.580 --> 13:17.280 is their congregational women 13:17.280 --> 13:19.240 always watching what they wear. 13:20.640 --> 13:23.120 Why do you care?

Where do they go? 22:58.580 --> 22:59.480 Next generation 23:00.120 --> 23:02.000 they're trying to get into the next generation. 23:02.680 --> 23:03.480 So my mom 23:03.480 --> 23:05.600 passed away in our house 23:05.600 --> 23:06.700 and we were living in Colorado 23:07.360 --> 23:08.040 and then 23:09.020 --> 23:11.400 her body was taken back to where I grew up 23:11.400 --> 23:13.460 North Dakota and she was buried there and so forth 23:13.460 --> 23:15.520 so she passed away and we wrapped 23:15.520 --> 23:17.480 things up and in a couple of days then we left 23:17.480 --> 23:19.200 and we went to North Dakota and we were up there for 23:19.200 --> 23:20.800 a week, a week and a half, whatever 23:21.780 --> 23:23.480 and the funeral and everything 23:23.480 --> 23:25.640 took place and then we came back 23:26.180 --> 23:27.160 Colorado was like 23:27.160 --> 23:29.640 a 12-hour, 11-hour 23:29.640 --> 23:31.180 drive from our home 23:31.180 --> 23:33.460 so we left in the morning, we got back 23:33.460 --> 23:34.920 this happened in March 23:35.400 --> 23:37.240 so by the time we got back it was 23:37.240 --> 23:38.920 like 9 or 10 at night, it was dark 23:39.920 --> 23:40.360 and 23:41.560 --> 23:42.700 our kids were all little 23:42.700 --> 23:44.960 I think Eric was 8 or something like that 23:44.960 --> 23:47.440 so we were stumbling them up to the door 23:47.440 --> 23:49.060 and I unlocked the door and 23:49.060 --> 23:50.740 I stepped in, I opened the door 23:50.740 --> 23:52.960 opened this way, I stepped into the door 23:52.960 --> 23:55.040 front door and literally 23:55.040 --> 23:55.500 it went 23:56.660 --> 23:58.500 everything, my hair stood up 23:59.040 --> 24:01.240 goosebumps hit me, it felt 24:01.240 --> 24:02.460 like I stepped into hell 24:03.240 --> 24:05.160 it felt horrible 24:06.560 --> 24:08.700 and I thought maybe this is me 24:08.700 --> 24:10.560 so I said nothing 24:10.560 --> 24:13.600 and I helped bring the kids in 24:13.600 --> 24:15.400 and Mary stepped in 24:15.400 --> 24:16.260 and she said 24:16.840 --> 24:18.780 what in the world is 24:18.780 --> 24:20.080 in this house 24:21.780 --> 24:23.060 I said what does it 24:23.060 --> 24:23.780 feel like 24:24.840 --> 24:25.400 fear 24:27.340 --> 24:28.280 I said 24:28.820 --> 24:30.080 guess where that came from 24:32.120 --> 24:32.960 that came 24:32.960 --> 24:33.660 from mother 24:34.660 --> 24:36.960 and it's trying to get on 24:36.960 --> 24:38.760 to me 24:40.200 --> 24:41.240 because if it can 24:41.240 --> 24:42.680 establish a landing spot 24:43.500 --> 24:45.460 it will have another generation 24:47.520 --> 24:48.960 she said what are you going to do 24:48.960 --> 24:50.860 I said can you put the kids to bed 24:50.860 --> 24:56.120 All you got to do is kind of get them there. They'll drop in, they'll go to sleep. Won't be a problem. 24:56.760 --> 25:01.680 Can you put the kids to bed? I said, I don't deal with something. She said, okay. 25:03.120 --> 25:08.600 So I went to the place. She died. She died in our bedroom. Now people sell their houses over stuff 25:08.600 --> 25:18.960 like this because their spirits that came from somebody died and that body is no longer inhabitable 25:18.960 --> 25:26.480 or tormentable. So let's jump. And they wait for their opportunity. And depending upon what they are, 25:26.540 --> 25:31.860 you can feel them. So I went to the bedroom. I turned the light off. I went to the spot and I said, 25:32.680 --> 25:39.750 what are you doing here? No. 25:42.430 --> 25:50.650 Literally what I felt inside, I have never felt fear like that in my life before or since. 25:52.930 --> 26:01.270 What it felt like is my adrenaline was through the roof and there was a bear in the dark right there 26:01.270 --> 26:10.210 ready to kill me. It just was like I was so full of fear. What was it trying to do? It was trying to jump. 26:11.690 --> 26:21.050 And if I wouldn't have resisted it, if I would have run, I'd open the door because I'd run out of fear. 26:21.290 --> 26:24.550 And that's what it was, was fear that would open the door to it. 26:27.010 --> 26:36.430 It was creepy, weird fear. And so I prayed through the whole house. It never lifted. 26:37.290 --> 26:42.330 It was just creepy weird. I told Mary said I'm going out and I'm going to anoint the property. 26:43.070 --> 26:50.450 Grab the oil, went out the back door. And again, you have to do the opposite of what it's 26:50.450 --> 26:57.910 trying to get you to do. Well, give me a big flashlight. Turn the lights on. No, you go in the dark 26:58.450 --> 27:03.350 because it's trying to get you afraid enough. You turn all the lights on to protect yourself. 27:03.470 --> 27:08.890 That doesn't protect you. Well, it makes me feel better. I know, but you can't go by feelings. 27:09.410 --> 27:14.430 You go by faith. So she said, you want the lights on? I said, nope, I want to be in 27:14.430 --> 27:17.870 the dark. You want a flashlight? Nope, I want to be in the dark. She said, as creepy as 27:17.870 --> 27:23.770 this feels. Are you sure? I said, I want to be in the dark. I went out the back of the property 27:24.210 --> 27:30.730 and again spoke and went to the four corners, poured the oil. It did not leave 27:32.490 --> 27:39.070 until the last spot I poured the oil. And this is how I always do it with a house or 27:39.070 --> 27:45.150 property or whatever. It's all sealed up and I will say that. This is sealing it up. 27:45.890 --> 27:50.750 This is for God's kingdom only, inside where the oil has been poured. 27:52.090 --> 27:57.910 And this is sealing it up. And before I pour the last part of it, you better get out. 28:00.310 --> 28:06.970 If you don't, and you stay in here when I pour this oil, I'm going to pray you're obliterated. 28:07.110 --> 28:13.370 You're just vaporized. You will cease to exist from my perspective. What God does with you, 28:13.370 --> 28:19.110 it's up to him, but you will go. If I'm in a house, I'll open the front door. 28:20.670 --> 28:26.550 Get out in the name of Jesus. You would be amazed how you can feel him go. 28:28.250 --> 28:33.810 Sometimes there's literally a breeze. It's like you can feel the breeze 28:34.990 --> 28:39.630 out, close the door, anoint the door with oil and seal it. Well, I did that with the 28:39.630 --> 28:48.830 property. When I poured the last oil and sealed it, I will never succumb to the fear that tormented 28:48.830 --> 28:56.850 my mother. No, I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. 28:57.430 --> 29:02.830 Fear is not of my God. And just went through, you'd be amazed how many scriptures come to 29:02.830 --> 29:07.810 your mind when you need them. And I poured the oil and said, get out or you will be dealt 29:07.810 --> 29:13.250 with. And I poured the oil and it just went when the whole thing became peaceful. 29:14.230 --> 29:22.110 And I've never had a problem with it since. That was sins of the fathers, but in reality, 29:22.170 --> 29:29.570 it wasn't my dad's sin, it was my mom's. But he and her were one and God viewed him as the one 29:29.570 --> 29:34.570 accountable and responsible. So if this thing's going to pass on, it's because Irvin, that was 29:34.570 --> 29:39.830 my dad's name, never dealt with it correctly. Doesn't mean he's a bad person. He didn't know how 29:40.510 --> 29:45.390 to deal with it correctly. I mean, the stuff we're talking about was never taught 29:46.930 --> 29:52.350 when I was growing up. And I doubt it's being taught much now. He didn't know how 29:52.350 --> 30:01.050 to make sure he's clean, get in its face, tell it it has no right in his wife. 30:02.050 --> 30:10.110 If I am putting an end to this, you're going to leave her alone and just cast that out of the 30:10.110 --> 30:15.750 marriage, out of the property, out of the... It came in the lineage on her side. It was a 30:15.750 --> 30:21.910 familiar spirit. Get it out. He did not do that. Nobody had ever taught him. We're going to go 30:21.910 --> 30:27.790 more specific on that next week on, well, what do you say? How do you handle that? What do 30:27.790 --> 30:34.390 you do with it? We'll go more specific and give examples. But I just gave you some. I went to 30:34.390 --> 30:41.450 where she died and I said no. There will be no spirit of fear in this house, in this generation, 30:41.690 --> 30:51.110 in me, in my wife, in my children. There will be none. No. And that's where I started. And then 30:51.110 --> 30:55.030 I went around the house and I anointed the house. Now, interestingly enough, this is 30:55.030 --> 31:00.010 another side thought. We haven't got into teaching this yet. For whatever reason, spirits use 31:00.010 --> 31:07.630 doorways and windows, specifically doorways. You say, is that in the Bible? Yes, it is. 31:08.290 --> 31:14.310 When the spirit of death in the land of Egypt came the night before they ran, where did they 31:14.310 --> 31:20.550 have to put the blood over? The door. And they covered the door with blood and the spirit 31:20.550 --> 31:26.330 couldn't get into the house. Spirits don't need doors. They can go right through the wall. 31:27.270 --> 31:31.310 There's a spiritual principle. I don't know what it is, but there's a spiritual principle. 31:33.230 --> 31:39.930 They use doors and they'll use windows too. Jesus talked about it. When a demon is cast 31:39.930 --> 31:44.310 out he'll go wandering through dry and arid places and he'll come back and look back in. 31:45.370 --> 31:52.450 Well, if you go in Jesus' day, they didn't have windows in the doors. Those were solid wood doors, 31:53.510 --> 31:57.590 but they did have windows. And he's saying it's going to look back in the house. Well, 31:57.610 --> 31:59.190 how is it going to look back in the house? Through the window. 32:01.250 --> 32:05.150 To get back in, it might have to go in through the door. Now, I don't know why that principle 32:05.150 --> 32:09.850 is that way. But if you're going to clean your house and it says it in the book, 32:09.850 --> 32:16.470 you're going to have to anoint your doors and call the opening shut to keep them out. 32:17.550 --> 32:22.910 They won't come through the wall even though they can. They won't. They want a door, so to speak. 32:23.710 --> 32:31.390 And we'll talk about that more. But yeah, was there a question up there? No? We got a few 32:31.390 --> 32:35.190 minutes yet. Is there another question? You got one? Go ahead. Yeah, can I ask a question 32:35.190 --> 32:41.710 about tattoos? Yep. Yeah, that was a hot topic a few minutes ago. Yeah, so can you elaborate more 32:41.710 --> 32:46.410 on what it means like getting a tattoo for the dead? Like, so for example, if you have a tattoo 32:46.410 --> 32:50.930 and then the person dies, do you then need to cover it up? If you get one for someone who has 32:50.930 --> 32:56.910 passed, do you? I get rid of it. Personally, I get rid of it. Because what you're doing is 32:56.910 --> 33:06.270 you're honoring death, not life. It's like a skeleton. It's like... and I've talked to some 33:06.270 --> 33:11.770 people about this. Well, is there a problem with me keeping my mother's ashes in an urn 33:11.770 --> 33:16.750 on the fireplace mantle? Why do you want a dead body on your fireplace mantle? 33:17.850 --> 33:24.090 What is this? Why would you do that? Well, I want to remember my mother. I got news for you. 33:24.090 --> 33:29.930 She ain't in the urn. That's just dirt. This is just dirt. 33:31.410 --> 33:36.510 When this ceases to support my spirit, I either go to heaven or hell. 33:37.670 --> 33:42.250 But if I'm in a casket, guess what? That is not me. I'm not in there. 33:43.590 --> 33:52.330 And if they cremate me, I'm not in the urn. It's just ashes of a dead person. 33:54.090 --> 33:57.430 So the question is, should we or shouldn't we? No, that's not really the question. 33:57.570 --> 34:03.550 The question is, why would we want to? What is this? Are we going to mourn them? 34:05.270 --> 34:08.790 What is there some kind of attachment? I feel like she's around. 34:09.690 --> 34:15.190 I had one guy say to me, he said, my wife passed. We buried her. I missed her so much. 34:15.310 --> 34:21.750 I just kept wanting to be with her. And he said, one night, I felt her get in bed with me. 34:23.210 --> 34:31.910 And I welcomed her and he said, every night, since that night, when I turn the lights off and get in 34:31.910 --> 34:40.750 bed, he said, I can feel her coming. The bed literally sinks in and the blankets move like 34:40.750 --> 34:52.670 she got in bed with me. And it's such a comfort to me. It's like, I got bad news for you. 34:53.570 --> 35:02.830 That's not mama. That's a familiar spirit. That's a spirit that's imitating mama. 35:04.750 --> 35:08.070 And you're living with it. This is not going to end well. 35:09.910 --> 35:14.870 I mean, just say it that way. But what was I saying before I got onto that? 35:19.470 --> 35:22.830 Tattoos. Yes. Why would we want the urn? Why would we want to tattoo ourselves? 35:23.790 --> 35:26.890 The question is why? Now, I have a message. That's where I was going. 35:27.790 --> 35:34.790 Let's see if I can find it. If you go to the website... 35:37.390 --> 35:41.270 Come on. Where are you? There you are. If you go to the website 35:41.270 --> 35:54.100 and look under messages and then the full catalog, yes. I was going to say Kevin probably 35:54.100 --> 35:56.860 there already in his head because he's the one who works with this stuff. 35:57.360 --> 36:01.200 There is a series called Correct and Incorrect Judging. 36:03.720 --> 36:10.740 It is a series with 11 messages. So what we were teaching in that series, 36:10.740 --> 36:15.380 which, you know, I wish we had more services and everybody would actually show up because 36:15.380 --> 36:20.160 there's so much stuff that really should be talked about. We are forbidden to judge people, 36:20.400 --> 36:28.460 but we're commanded to judge things. We have to, to be spiritual, judge everything, 36:28.980 --> 36:37.440 the scripture says, but we're forbidden to judge a person. So we divided those two and 36:37.440 --> 36:43.620 showed that from scripture and how that judging people puts us under a curse. Judging things is 36:43.620 --> 36:50.980 what we're called to do. Well, I said, let's make application. What about tattoos, Pastor? 36:51.460 --> 36:56.880 So that's how it ended up in that series. Aren't people with tattoos going to hell? 36:59.080 --> 37:04.580 That's what I was taught growing up. You get a tattoo, man. You're probably 37:04.580 --> 37:11.860 three quarters of the way in already. It's, it's, you can have a tattoo and then people 37:11.860 --> 37:17.980 would come home from the military who were Christians and they'd walk in with a tattoo 37:17.980 --> 37:22.040 and I'd say, hey mom, what about that guy? He's a Christian. He's got a tattoo in his 37:22.040 --> 37:27.680 arm. He's got a big anchor or whatever, something to identify with his unit. And 37:29.040 --> 37:33.700 well, he shouldn't have it. It's like, well, that's a good answer. 37:35.100 --> 37:42.320 Told me nothing. So we got into talking about tattoos and one of the things we're forbidden 37:42.320 --> 37:46.400 to do is tattoo ourselves for the dead. Now, the way they used to do it in the Old Testament 37:47.260 --> 37:54.260 is they would cut themselves and then put a dye into it. So that it became, 37:54.260 --> 37:58.500 because if you just put a dye in yourself, I mean, let's go find some black hole and we'll 37:58.500 --> 38:01.100 put it on ourself for the dead. Well, in two or three days it's going to be gone. 38:01.880 --> 38:07.720 But they cut themselves and they'd put a dye into that and that would represent, 38:08.260 --> 38:14.400 you know, whatever that picture was would represent dad or mom or grandpa. And that way, 38:14.760 --> 38:22.140 they were honoring them or this is, there's various, there's various explanations for what 38:22.140 --> 38:27.540 it really is and how to do it. I would love to talk to a rabbi sometime and say, 38:27.560 --> 38:33.220 what is tattooing for the dead really mean in Jewish vernacular? I've read numerous 38:33.820 --> 38:40.860 descriptions of it. But in a nutshell, it has to do with, you see this flower? 38:43.000 --> 38:46.580 This flower represents Uncle Fred. 38:50.400 --> 38:52.260 Uncle Fred was like a father to me. 38:55.140 --> 38:56.240 You know what you did? 38:58.320 --> 39:00.220 You tattooed yourself for the dead. 39:03.240 --> 39:07.380 God's against that. Let Uncle Fred rest in peace. 39:08.400 --> 39:11.580 Let him go wherever he went up or down. Let him go. 39:13.720 --> 39:20.510 Don't drag Uncle Fred with you. That's tattooing for the dead. 39:22.050 --> 39:30.290 Now God tattooed himself with all the names of us who have eternal life. 39:31.410 --> 39:37.770 God tattooed himself for life. Jesus wears the King of Kings on his thigh. 39:38.790 --> 39:40.630 That's one of his tattoos. He has other tattoos. 39:43.530 --> 39:47.090 Well, he's King of Kings forever. He's living. 39:49.410 --> 39:56.770 And he is announcing something. By the way, you look at Jesus and go, oh yeah, that's right. 39:57.570 --> 40:04.530 See that tattoo? He's King of Kings. Don't forget it. He beat a big boss. 40:07.610 --> 40:14.890 So there are things that are for life. Now, if you want to get a tattoo for the day you got saved, 40:15.790 --> 40:21.330 this is the day I found God. And this picture represents that. There's an issue with that. 40:22.290 --> 40:25.670 If you want to get a tattoo because it's part of your military group, 40:27.010 --> 40:28.390 I don't think there's an issue with that. 40:31.930 --> 40:36.230 Christians can have tattoos and be Christian. Now if you want to know the scriptural end of it, 40:36.330 --> 40:47.470 listen to that message. But when it goes into something about death, God's against that. 40:49.850 --> 40:52.730 Yeah, skull and crossbones. I just saw it the other day. 40:57.680 --> 41:01.400 You should have the mic because there's going to be people who are going to be listening 41:01.400 --> 41:05.740 and they're going to say, what's he answering? And then we'll get to you next. 41:06.120 --> 41:11.440 What about the suicide awareness semicolon that's supposed to represent coming through it 41:11.440 --> 41:16.900 and being victorious or a warrior? So you're representing life. You're coming through it. 41:17.040 --> 41:26.600 You're being victorious. Yeah, I personally don't have any tattoos. My mother succeeded. 41:28.180 --> 41:33.280 I'm just uncomfortable with them. Now my kids, I think all of them have tattoos. 41:34.120 --> 41:39.380 But I said, you're not getting a tattoo until you're minimum 18. Be better if you were 20 or 21. 41:41.040 --> 41:44.100 Because once you rid it on there, it's hard to get on writ. 41:46.740 --> 41:54.720 And I'm in love with Susie. And you break up and marry Jenny. She may not care for that. 41:57.420 --> 42:03.960 So it's like, that's all right. You can decorate. It's just dirt. You can decorate it if you want. 42:04.040 --> 42:09.540 We decorate the dirt around our house, plant flowers. It's just dirt. You can decorate it. 42:11.540 --> 42:17.460 But use your head as you decorate it. Because some things just, you know... 42:21.500 --> 42:31.390 Here's a script for principle. Man looks on the outward. God looks at the heart. 42:33.690 --> 42:39.050 How many people do you see running successful businesses who have their head tattooed, 42:39.170 --> 42:45.190 their face tattooed? Why? Because it creeps most people out in this generation. 42:47.270 --> 42:52.970 Right or wrong? I'm not saying they're right or wrong for doing it. Not saying that. I'm saying man looks on the outward. 42:55.070 --> 42:58.210 So when you're getting a tattoo, remember people are going to look at this. 42:58.830 --> 43:02.350 They're going to come to conclusions about you by what they're seeing. 43:03.790 --> 43:07.590 If you're a question wearing a Budweiser shirt, people are going to see that. 43:07.770 --> 43:10.450 And they're going to come to conclusion you're a drinker as a Christian. 43:11.490 --> 43:14.710 Well, a tattoo is permanent. Budweiser shirt, you can change it to Coors. 43:18.670 --> 43:23.710 That's a joke. Anybody gets their undies in a bundle now. That's a joke. 43:25.350 --> 43:28.970 But man does look on the outward. We do. 43:30.870 --> 43:35.250 So you have to be careful with tattoos. But if you want the full story, read that. 43:35.910 --> 43:37.670 I mean, listen to that message. Okay, you're on.
