WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:10.820 Lord, we worship You tonight. We worship You tonight. Yahweh, we worship You tonight. 00:14.340 --> 00:32.080 Adonai, we worship You. Jehovah, our God, we worship You. Elohim, El Shaddai, we worship You. 00:36.560 --> 00:43.220 We are of Your family. We are Your people. Bought by the blood of Jesus. 00:45.420 --> 00:51.500 Not because of any good or righteous thing that we have done, but by Your grace and by Your mercy. 00:54.500 --> 00:59.520 We thank You. We thank You. 01:02.590 --> 01:12.310 And Lord, our heart and desire is that everyone would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. 01:14.110 --> 01:24.030 That everyone would walk free. Free of the kingdom of darkness, but a servant and a slave to You. 01:27.060 --> 01:34.220 King of kings and Lord of lords, we worship You. We welcome You, Holy Spirit. 01:36.060 --> 01:48.640 Teach us, guide us, lead us. Free us. Do whatever you desire and you want in Jesus' name. Amen. 01:48.640 --> 01:58.080 Amen. You may be seated. Good evening, everybody. 02:02.780 --> 02:07.220 We're going to spend most of the time working out of the booklet tonight. 02:07.760 --> 02:15.880 So if you need a hard copy, Abby has hard copies. If you have a digital copy, feel free to use it. 02:15.880 --> 02:35.770 But while she's distributing that, I want us to understand how to walk victorious. Overcoming. 02:37.770 --> 02:50.240 And have the ability and the confidence and the understanding to be able to do that standing on our own two feet. 02:53.440 --> 03:03.380 Hearing the voice of the Spirit and so forth. So the main thrust of this book, this booklet, Spiritual Warfare Basics. 03:03.640 --> 03:12.340 The main thrust is to show us some basic things about the kingdom of darkness and how it works and operates. 03:12.340 --> 03:20.180 And how that we are victorious over it through Christ. 03:22.480 --> 03:31.300 So with that in mind, we make sure that we walk clean and free. Not depending on anybody else. 03:32.200 --> 03:35.720 We walk clean and free because of what God's given us. 03:36.260 --> 03:42.200 So start on page 27. We made it to that point and it's not like we went through this book line by line, 03:42.280 --> 03:48.600 but I think we covered most of the principles there. If something in your reading, something came up, you can bring it up in the question and answer time. 03:50.000 --> 03:58.060 I want to cover four areas tonight and it won't take that long because once the stage is set, the rest kind of all work the same. 03:58.740 --> 04:03.020 If I don't get involved in too many stories, we can get it done. 04:04.220 --> 04:09.040 So getting rid of demons, Roman rule number eight on page 27. 04:09.960 --> 04:14.080 We're going to give different situations of how this operates and examples. 04:14.720 --> 04:22.120 And what I have written here is not the only way to do this. This is just a outline that you can follow. 04:22.240 --> 04:30.420 The Holy Spirit may move it different for you. He may work differently through you in addressing demons, dealing with demons and so forth. 04:30.420 --> 04:36.340 It's just an outline to help us understand a little bit or be able to wrap our heads around some things. 04:37.700 --> 04:44.680 So it's broken down into four sections. Influences from the outside, that means they're not in our flesh. 04:45.600 --> 04:53.480 They have not gained access to our temple. They're just kind of tormenting or oppressing or whatever they're doing from the outside. 04:53.480 --> 05:01.180 On page 29, we have infestation from the inside. That means they got into our temple. We have to get them out. 05:02.400 --> 05:10.640 Page 31 is getting them out of our physical house or physical property. Haunted houses are for real. 05:11.680 --> 05:18.700 However, little oil on the door hinge helps squeaky doors. So every time a door squeaks doesn't mean it's a demon. 05:19.860 --> 05:25.760 But there are spirits that haunt houses and motels and things like that. They can be gotten out. 05:26.100 --> 05:31.080 And then page 33, cleansing items. So those are the four we want to dwell on. 05:31.400 --> 05:40.520 And I will briefly deal with dealing with regional demons. On page 35, that is a very misunderstood subject. 05:41.240 --> 05:45.960 It's written out in such a way it's pretty clear. The basics of it are pretty clear. 05:45.960 --> 05:51.980 But because it's misunderstood, that seems to be one of the areas that Christians get the most weird. 05:53.240 --> 06:00.220 I had someone approach me just this week and say, what do you think about casting out the lesbian spirit in the state capital of Minnesota? 06:04.480 --> 06:10.700 Okay, first of all, you have no authority to do that. So don't get weird. 06:13.560 --> 06:19.920 You're all looking at me with big eyes. So hopefully we get to that tonight yet. Let's start on page 27. 06:22.020 --> 06:29.040 Getting rid of demons, influences from the outside. Well, how can you tell that you even have a demon harassing you, working around you? 06:30.160 --> 06:37.040 I listed a number of ways. It's not the only ways, but I listed a number to kind of use to get the mind going. 06:37.520 --> 06:43.740 You can feel or sense them. Have you ever sensed or felt a demon? Okay, few of you have. 06:47.240 --> 06:53.260 Well, I'd love to just open this up for discussion, but then I know we won't get through this and say, how did the feel to you? 06:53.400 --> 06:57.980 And how did you sense it? And what did it feel like? Maybe we can do that in the question and answer time. 06:57.980 --> 07:10.240 But demons feel evil. If you want to kind of put it in a nutshell. It's just an evil, dirty, nasty feeling. 07:13.500 --> 07:22.160 They're not peaceful. They're not calm. It's just an evil. Sometimes you get goosebumps. Sometimes your hair will stand up. 07:22.160 --> 07:29.960 It just doesn't feel godly. There are physical manifestations. 07:31.960 --> 07:38.480 If you're the next one down, if you see them, hear them, feel them, that's also a physical manifestation. 07:39.300 --> 07:46.440 Sometimes people feel them grabbing them. Sometimes they see them at night. Mary shared a story of seeing one. 07:46.440 --> 07:54.940 I'm trying to remember where she shared it. I must have been in prayer, but shared a story about seeing one shortly after they had gotten saved. 07:56.180 --> 08:01.120 Many times you can physically hear them, depending upon what they're trying to do. 08:04.300 --> 08:13.480 To me, there has to be some definite reason why we think a demon is trying to harass us. 08:14.460 --> 08:22.960 It's not one of these things where a Christian, where Christians, something's not going right in their life and it right away is demonic. 08:23.580 --> 08:30.620 A demon may have nothing to do with it. It might be your own where you're still messed up or out of faith or whatever. 08:31.420 --> 08:37.440 Not everything is a demon. So if we want to get rid of something, let's make sure they're actually there. 08:37.440 --> 08:46.940 Physical manifestations. Windows opening and closing that have no capability of doing that, like from wind or things like that. 08:47.280 --> 08:51.820 Doors, same type of thing. Stuff moving around the house. 08:52.800 --> 08:59.080 Physical objects moving. You know you've got supernatural activity around you at that point. 08:59.940 --> 09:01.500 Sometimes you can smell them. 09:04.400 --> 09:12.760 What do you think angels smell like? Or the presence of God smells like? Have you ever smelled the presence of God? Have you ever had that opportunity? Anybody? 09:16.380 --> 09:26.040 There was a... and it hasn't happened here for years. It happened in the modular when we were going through those two, three years of revival stuff. 09:26.040 --> 09:38.480 You would get out. It was middle of the winter. It's 20 below. And you'd get out of your car in the parking lot and you'd smell flowers, roses, just a sweet fragrance. 09:39.280 --> 09:45.580 And it's like, we're in Minnesota. Everything's covered with snow. It's 20 below. This has to be God. 09:46.700 --> 09:53.380 Because you can't smell flowers outside. You'd get inside and it'd just be a heavy fragrance. 09:54.520 --> 10:07.860 Well, God smells good, which means evil smells bad. Sometimes you can smell them. It's a very pungent, rude, sulfurish kind of smell. 10:08.420 --> 10:16.760 I've had people say they wake up in the middle of the night in their bedroom. It's just like it's this horrible odor. Just yuck. 10:16.760 --> 10:26.760 And where did it come from? And they can't find a core for it. And it happens from time to time or it happens night after night. 10:27.400 --> 10:34.160 You might be smelling their presence. The same way you can smell heavenly things, you can smell hellish things. 10:35.160 --> 10:41.400 The attributes of the Holy Spirit are missing. It just seems like it is real. 10:41.940 --> 10:51.480 You know how he gives us the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness? It's just like it just rests on us. 10:51.640 --> 10:57.720 And it's so... it's just like praise bubbles out of us. Well, that's what God came up with. 10:58.100 --> 11:00.740 So the demonic realm will copy that, try to imitate that. 11:01.610 --> 11:16.380 And when you get under a lack of joy, a lack of peace or kindness or self-control, it's just like you're under this garment, under this covering. 11:17.100 --> 11:25.080 The atmosphere is ungodly. It's radiating the fruit of the kingdom of darkness, hate, anger, sensual, sexual, vengeful. 11:25.080 --> 11:32.160 Top page 28, dominating, destructive. And it's not... it's like it gets on you. 11:32.880 --> 11:36.040 And you'll turn on worship music and it might lift for a while. 11:37.240 --> 11:41.140 If you turn it off, it seems like it slowly creeps back in. 11:41.840 --> 11:47.600 You get into a good Bible study or a good prayer service or a good service. It's like it's gone. 11:47.600 --> 11:56.500 And you go home and you get quiet, especially at night. And it's like it's just this heavy presence that is so evil. 11:57.280 --> 11:58.600 That's very likely demonic. 11:59.800 --> 12:04.440 So that's just a few descriptions. So what do we do with it? How do we address it? 12:05.500 --> 12:13.480 It gives it blow-by-blow there. And I laid it out very detail-wise. You don't have to do each one of those. 12:16.280 --> 12:20.020 But you can. And I laid it out so you can go home and you've got it. 12:20.100 --> 12:22.100 And you can use that as a guide and just go right down that. 12:22.820 --> 12:31.620 But for me, if I was... if we walked into this place and it felt bad. 12:31.940 --> 12:35.900 And there's times it happens. People bring stuff with them. 12:36.760 --> 12:45.320 Remember, there's covens and everything out there praying against us can be simply an attack. 12:46.020 --> 12:51.040 There's just times you need to clean the place back out. And the same is true for your house. 12:52.260 --> 12:56.540 There's just times you need to go through your house and clean it out of spiritual stuff. 12:56.540 --> 13:08.480 And ask the Lord if you've brought it in somehow through activity or items or magazines or programs or music or whatever. 13:09.660 --> 13:15.920 And if you have, well then you need to quit bringing it in. You need to stop whatever you did that brought it in and clean it out. 13:16.440 --> 13:24.180 So if I came in here and it felt nasty, the first thing I would do is I always begin speaking to them like they're a person. 13:24.180 --> 13:28.180 Because they are a being. But I just speak to everything like it's a person. 13:28.340 --> 13:32.000 Because it's just a way of helping me communicate from my side. 13:32.840 --> 13:36.760 So I would, if I walked in here, let me just do an example of it. 13:36.800 --> 13:41.920 If I walked in here and I felt that, the first thing I would do is I'd say, Holy Spirit, what is this? 13:44.240 --> 13:47.160 Is there anything I need to know about this? 13:48.640 --> 13:50.920 Because this isn't you. So what is this? 13:50.920 --> 13:55.620 He might tell me, might not. You just wait a little bit. 13:57.240 --> 13:59.280 I would also start with a little bit of worship. 14:01.020 --> 14:05.100 Father, I worship you. This is not their place. This is your place. 14:06.740 --> 14:09.100 And on that basis, I'm going to enforce that. 14:10.420 --> 14:15.200 So whoever or whatever is here, I'm speaking to you now. 14:16.880 --> 14:21.840 Now, I'm waiting for a physical reaction in my body. 14:22.340 --> 14:24.460 That's the first thing I'll watch for with me. 14:25.380 --> 14:28.140 Because our flesh is still fallen. 14:29.680 --> 14:33.400 Romans 6, 7 and 8 says our flesh is an enemy of the cross. 14:34.220 --> 14:37.700 It does not want to serve God. It wants nothing to do with God. 14:37.980 --> 14:41.760 The body we're living in is not God-friendly. 14:43.040 --> 14:48.000 That's why it has to be subdued, controlled, ruled, and parts of its desires killed. 14:49.140 --> 14:54.280 Because if you let those desires of the flesh live, it'll just take you off the wrong direction. 14:55.160 --> 14:57.820 So the first thing I'm looking for is a reaction in my body. 14:57.940 --> 15:00.620 When I speak to them, they flare. 15:01.740 --> 15:03.740 Because they know they're found out now. 15:05.280 --> 15:06.840 Yeah, feel free to close that if you would. 15:07.420 --> 15:10.480 When I speak to them, they flare. My flesh will react to that. 15:12.340 --> 15:17.120 The first thing that the flesh tries to do when it feels demons is fear them. 15:19.680 --> 15:22.980 That's the first thing that happens almost across the board with everybody. 15:23.260 --> 15:28.120 When a demonic force manifests in even just presence, 15:28.680 --> 15:31.120 the first thing the flesh does is go to fear. 15:31.760 --> 15:32.820 Because it's fallen. 15:33.800 --> 15:36.560 It's going to be redeemed. It's going to be made brand new, but right now it's not. 15:37.440 --> 15:39.360 It's a container that has fallen. 15:41.260 --> 15:49.280 So I'm looking for something to happen in my flesh to verify I've got their attention. 15:49.520 --> 15:51.540 And it's almost 100% consistent. 15:51.780 --> 15:54.040 And it's just me. Different people do it different ways. 15:54.260 --> 15:55.020 This is how I do it. 15:55.120 --> 15:57.080 So I'll speak to them, say, I'm talking to you now. 15:57.400 --> 16:00.960 I want your attention because we're going to deal with you being here. 16:00.960 --> 16:11.320 At that point, usually I'll get shivers or goosebumps or a desire to get out of here. 16:12.600 --> 16:14.100 Your flesh will speak to you. 16:14.880 --> 16:17.420 If you don't believe that, try to fast for a day or two. 16:19.140 --> 16:21.960 You'll recognize the voice of your flesh really fast. 16:22.580 --> 16:24.600 Because when it gets hungry, it talks to you. 16:24.720 --> 16:29.000 Literally, it will reason with you why you should be eating. 16:30.200 --> 16:31.840 The flesh has a voice. 16:33.500 --> 16:38.260 So if you want to know why I don't know what my flesh sounds like, go for a two, three day fast. 16:38.840 --> 16:41.580 I can guarantee you it'll start speaking. It doesn't take long. 16:42.780 --> 16:47.580 Because the flesh is God is its stomach. 16:49.020 --> 16:50.020 That's what Paul said. 16:51.160 --> 16:54.720 When people go and God lead their God first becomes their stomach. 16:54.720 --> 17:03.320 And of course that's physical stomach, but that's also a picture of appetites and desires and things that are not godly. 17:04.000 --> 17:06.080 So anyway, back to the story. 17:06.640 --> 17:08.420 So I'm waiting for my flesh to react. 17:09.580 --> 17:12.680 Usually it does. That's just a little confirmation to me. 17:13.160 --> 17:15.000 I'm going to go on with or without it. 17:15.700 --> 17:18.980 Without that confirmation, I'm going to go on and do what I'm going to do. 17:20.000 --> 17:21.680 But usually it's there. 17:21.680 --> 17:29.920 People who haven't experienced that before don't understand why when I address something I feel these things in my body. 17:30.360 --> 17:31.680 I just explained to you why. 17:32.320 --> 17:34.860 And most people will feel them. 17:35.600 --> 17:47.120 Most people who are genuinely having demonic problems, when they try to go for deliverance, their body speaks so loudly and the spirit speaks so loudly. 17:47.660 --> 17:50.240 They become so full of fear, anxiety. 17:51.500 --> 17:57.080 They never make the appointment or they'll leave the service or whatever that they give into it. 17:57.760 --> 17:59.320 So that's what happens when you address them. 17:59.400 --> 18:00.120 So I would address them. 18:00.160 --> 18:01.200 I just in my back of my mind. 18:01.260 --> 18:03.800 I'm just waiting to see if my body reacts at all, whether it does or not. 18:03.920 --> 18:06.460 I'd say, okay, so I want to speak to you. 18:06.560 --> 18:08.300 So I am here in the name of Jesus. 18:09.840 --> 18:12.180 My authority is in the blood of Jesus Christ. 18:12.180 --> 18:18.260 And I am speaking to you through the word of my mouth, which carries the power of God. 18:19.900 --> 18:24.260 I am speaking to you and now I'll let the Holy Spirit lead me. 18:25.060 --> 18:26.540 I am a child of God. 18:27.240 --> 18:28.380 I am a son of God. 18:28.960 --> 18:30.560 I am made in the God class. 18:31.980 --> 18:34.080 Jesus gave me authority over you. 18:34.360 --> 18:38.940 Whatever he leads me into to state, here's who I am. 18:39.080 --> 18:41.980 I am seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. 18:41.980 --> 18:47.000 You have been defeated by Jesus on the cross and the resurrection. 18:47.400 --> 18:51.720 So you have no authority and power here because I am not of your kingdom. 18:51.980 --> 18:53.300 I am of his kingdom. 18:54.540 --> 18:55.580 What am I doing? 18:55.820 --> 18:57.320 I'm taking the fight out of them. 19:00.220 --> 19:02.600 By stating my authority. 19:03.840 --> 19:07.500 We have to know our authority no matter what we're trying to do. 19:07.520 --> 19:10.200 As far as spiritual cleaning things up. 19:10.200 --> 19:13.400 We have to know our authority and it's always good to state it. 19:13.520 --> 19:14.600 Put it right out there. 19:15.320 --> 19:18.100 So I am here as a son of God. 19:18.400 --> 19:23.160 I am here under the covenant through the blood is where I get my power. 19:23.340 --> 19:25.320 And the name of Jesus is my authorization. 19:25.620 --> 19:27.260 So I'm speaking to you now. 19:27.540 --> 19:32.460 So I command you will not stay here. 19:32.840 --> 19:35.320 Now I'm trying to hear the spirit the whole time. 19:35.440 --> 19:37.260 This could go numerous directions here. 19:40.200 --> 19:44.440 If it's become a couple of little beehives or nests. 19:45.560 --> 19:46.840 He'll alert you of that. 19:46.980 --> 19:49.760 If it's just one spirit he'll whatever. 19:50.320 --> 19:53.880 But he may have you bind the whole works together. 19:54.140 --> 19:58.880 I tie you together which means I am saying no to all of you here. 20:00.280 --> 20:03.820 Not all of you as I see you because I can't see you. 20:04.220 --> 20:05.520 But the Holy Spirit can. 20:05.520 --> 20:10.440 And everything the Holy Spirit sees in this place that is not of my father's kingdom. 20:10.680 --> 20:13.380 I say no to you. I bind you together. 20:13.640 --> 20:16.720 I command you leave this place. 20:17.400 --> 20:22.820 And as of the last 20 years I just throw them in the pit. 20:23.220 --> 20:24.800 And we can talk about that later. 20:25.700 --> 20:29.200 The pit is a holding place for them until their judgment. 20:29.940 --> 20:33.540 If you just cast them out they're just going to wander and come around again. 20:34.460 --> 20:36.900 Just keep trying to do their thing. 20:39.540 --> 20:43.880 But I kind of got released from the Holy Spirit quite a while back. 20:43.880 --> 20:45.100 Could even be longer than 20 years. 20:48.700 --> 20:51.400 I just got so tired of recycling demons. 20:52.660 --> 20:53.980 It's like retreading tires. 20:54.880 --> 20:57.260 You were here before. I recognize you. 20:57.520 --> 20:58.640 Why are you here again? 20:58.920 --> 21:01.340 I just got kind of tired of it. It's like I'm tired of dealing with you. 21:02.240 --> 21:04.860 And the Holy Spirit said well just throw them in the pit and they can't come back. 21:06.120 --> 21:08.400 No, that doesn't mean new ones won't try to get in. 21:08.540 --> 21:10.740 But at least you're thinning the crowd a little bit. 21:12.880 --> 21:18.100 So in the name of Jesus I bind you all together if it's kingdoms or if it's whatever. 21:18.340 --> 21:20.340 If you can sense it's a certain spirit. 21:21.740 --> 21:25.220 I bind you all together and I command you to go to the pit. 21:26.660 --> 21:29.380 Be gone. I speak this place clean. 21:29.380 --> 21:35.960 Lord, I invite your kingdom, your angels, your spirit come fill this place and let peace reign here. 21:37.320 --> 21:42.220 I'm talking about a place which is actually, you know, you're feeling influenced from the outside, 21:42.220 --> 21:46.240 but you're cleaning up your house. You're cleaning up this room, cleaning up whatever. 21:46.780 --> 21:49.020 I went down a prayer line. This was years ago back in Colorado. 21:49.260 --> 21:51.440 I went down a prayer line praying for different people. 21:51.440 --> 21:58.860 And the next day, during the night I had some weird sexual dreams. 21:59.660 --> 22:02.780 And it's like, where in the world that come from? 22:03.580 --> 22:15.580 And the next day it's like the craving and the desire for another woman was just intense. 22:17.060 --> 22:19.340 I didn't have any issues with that. 22:21.220 --> 22:26.920 So I'm going to God and saying, what is this? Where'd this come from? 22:28.300 --> 22:31.260 Well, he told me and he pointed out the person to me. 22:31.860 --> 22:35.680 He said, one of the people you prayed for yesterday in the prayer line. 22:36.580 --> 22:39.100 And he pointed them out. I won't say man, woman or otherwise. 22:39.340 --> 22:42.460 He says, they struggle with a spirit of lust. 22:44.100 --> 22:48.480 And that thing is trying to get on you because you laid hands on them 22:48.480 --> 22:49.760 and made a point of contact. 22:51.960 --> 22:56.240 The same way the spirit of God can flow out of us through a point of contact 22:56.240 --> 22:58.440 other things can try to flow back to us. 23:00.420 --> 23:03.740 So this whole thing of just laying hands on everybody anytime, any place 23:03.740 --> 23:07.380 or getting whoever to lay hands on you, I'm not a favor of that. 23:07.780 --> 23:11.300 You know, I have people coming and saying, well, we went to a church 23:11.300 --> 23:13.280 such and such a place in Nebraska. 23:14.100 --> 23:16.740 And there was a speaker there and we were there for three days. 23:16.740 --> 23:19.720 So we got prayed for him. People were laying hands on us the whole time 23:19.720 --> 23:22.080 and I'm going, what are you doing? 23:23.160 --> 23:26.100 Did God tell you to have them lay their hands on you? 23:26.600 --> 23:30.220 I don't know. Everybody was doing it. You could have picked up all kinds of crud. 23:31.420 --> 23:33.340 Because you're just an open receptacle. 23:33.520 --> 23:37.980 I'm just whatever, whatever is your thinking, whatever God has for me. 23:38.680 --> 23:42.640 But whatever else is floating around may try to get on you too. 23:44.000 --> 23:50.320 So be careful of just letting anybody impart into you. 23:50.780 --> 23:53.720 So anyway, I wasn't letting this person impart into me. 23:53.800 --> 23:57.100 I was trying to impart into them, but something tried to feed back upstream 23:57.640 --> 24:01.380 and it got on me and it was trying to get in. 24:02.260 --> 24:05.300 Well, once I recognized that, I just did what I said. 24:05.700 --> 24:07.420 No, no, no, we're not doing this. 24:08.440 --> 24:10.800 In the name of Jesus, I know you now. 24:11.100 --> 24:12.420 You're a spirit of lust or adultery. 24:13.680 --> 24:14.800 So I'm addressing you. 24:15.600 --> 24:17.880 And however many you are, I don't care. 24:19.360 --> 24:22.960 I'm coming in the name of Jesus and I restate myself just like I just did. 24:23.900 --> 24:27.480 And I say no to you, I bind you, and I command you to go to the pit. 24:27.640 --> 24:29.700 Get off of me, be gone. You're not going back to your source. 24:30.120 --> 24:30.820 You left them. 24:31.620 --> 24:34.120 So that was your mistake. Now you're going to the pit. 24:35.420 --> 24:38.420 So be gone. And I command you to be gone. 24:38.520 --> 24:41.080 And you wait to feel the spiritual release. 24:42.820 --> 24:45.360 You can sense it. You can feel it. 24:45.820 --> 24:48.860 And it disappeared and it left, and we were good. 24:49.600 --> 24:50.120 Life went on. 24:55.450 --> 24:57.750 Go to page 29, the top there. 24:58.070 --> 24:59.590 I want to just read this example. 25:01.210 --> 25:03.090 If you're having trouble with a person, 25:03.090 --> 25:09.370 the outside influence will come on you to get you all stirred up in your thinking. 25:10.050 --> 25:12.210 The stirring will not be godly. 25:13.330 --> 25:17.530 So stirred up in your thinking is you're going to start thinking all kinds of negative things towards them, 25:17.590 --> 25:18.270 or it's going to try. 25:18.970 --> 25:21.410 And try to get you wound up. 25:22.210 --> 25:27.210 Because you're having problems with them, you've got to really guard yourself to walk clean. 25:28.370 --> 25:32.010 Because they can see you're having problems and they're going to try to enhance that. 25:32.010 --> 25:34.190 So you've got to guard your heart. 25:34.950 --> 25:37.210 Do the opposite of what they are trying to create. 25:37.990 --> 25:42.070 Out loud, forgive and bless the person you're having problems with. 25:42.610 --> 25:43.690 Do this out loud. 25:46.150 --> 25:50.270 It's not only a good release of your faith, because faith is in your mouth. 25:51.090 --> 25:54.270 It's also a good signal to them of where you stand. 25:55.630 --> 26:02.550 If all you're doing is fretting, mumbling, thinking, ringing your hands. 26:03.450 --> 26:04.950 I don't know what to do with them. 26:05.510 --> 26:08.190 You are making yourself a landing pad for demons. 26:09.870 --> 26:12.750 Because they're going to try to push you into sin. 26:14.010 --> 26:18.430 To get unforgiveness, to get a bad attitude, to get bitter, to get whatever. 26:19.270 --> 26:20.850 This is a war, people. 26:22.230 --> 26:26.870 This isn't a little game where we play for a few days and then whoever wins, 26:26.990 --> 26:29.410 well, chalk one up for them, we'll start with a new game. 26:29.690 --> 26:33.370 No, this is a war that is ultimately after our soul or our children's souls. 26:33.750 --> 26:35.690 Our lineage. 26:36.770 --> 26:39.310 So you can't make yourself a landing pad. 26:42.290 --> 26:46.910 And we haven't gotten into this yet of scriptural reasons how demons can get in. 26:46.990 --> 26:49.910 But we gave you first John 3.8, which talks about sin, 26:49.910 --> 26:51.910 and the devil has been sinning from the beginning. 26:52.310 --> 26:54.290 And anybody who sins is of the devil. 26:55.510 --> 27:00.390 So to make yourself a landing pad for the spirit of God is very simple. 27:01.930 --> 27:07.910 Start presenting yourself to God on the basis of what he is. 27:09.210 --> 27:15.750 Love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, meekness, faithfulness, on and on and on. 27:15.750 --> 27:19.370 And you will find over time the spirit of God gets stronger on you. 27:20.330 --> 27:25.110 Present yourself to the kingdom of darkness on the same principle just the opposite way. 27:26.310 --> 27:36.150 Anger, hate, bad words, evil speaking, gossip, slander, unforgiveness, bitterness. 27:36.650 --> 27:39.290 Just keep putting that out there and over a period of time, 27:39.630 --> 27:43.170 the spirit of the kingdom of darkness will get very heavy on you. 27:47.290 --> 27:49.830 So Paul said it differently. John said it that way. 27:50.070 --> 27:52.390 Paul said it this way in Romans 6 and Romans 8. 27:54.430 --> 28:00.810 The spirit's righteousness or sin, whatever we submit to, we become its servant. 28:01.890 --> 28:04.350 Well, if you go with righteousness, that's the kingdom of heaven. 28:04.830 --> 28:08.170 You've got angels, you've got the Holy Spirit, you've got all kinds of... 28:08.690 --> 28:11.610 You've got the glory, you've got all kinds of things in the kingdom of heaven 28:11.610 --> 28:14.490 that will come to support you if you submit to that. 28:14.950 --> 28:19.590 If you submit to the kingdom of darkness, you have demons, you have darkness, 28:20.250 --> 28:25.930 you have depression, you have his glory, which his presence is sorrow and depression 28:25.930 --> 28:29.910 and hate and all those things will try to come and support you. 28:30.510 --> 28:32.270 We're in the middle making the choice. 28:33.870 --> 28:37.490 So for self-deliverance, if you're feeling something from the outside, 28:40.470 --> 28:42.710 you get... you say, how do you recognize it? 28:43.030 --> 28:44.750 We have to become self-aware. 28:45.890 --> 28:48.690 When you're driving down the road, what are you thinking about? 28:53.380 --> 28:59.020 When you're sitting at home, when you've got a break time and you're eating lunch, 28:59.200 --> 29:00.800 what are you thinking about? 29:03.500 --> 29:07.020 Because if you're not paying attention to what you're thinking about, 29:07.020 --> 29:12.580 you may be thinking in the wrong kingdom and not even aware of it. 29:13.840 --> 29:16.960 So we have to pay attention to what we're thinking about. 29:17.480 --> 29:19.960 What's rattling around inside of us? 29:20.860 --> 29:27.600 Now, if what's rattling around inside of us produces a lack of hope, frustration. 29:28.600 --> 29:31.320 We're irritated. This example is with people. 29:31.440 --> 29:34.380 So let's just apply it to a person you just irritated with certain people. 29:35.880 --> 29:39.540 You would like to just chew them out? 29:40.860 --> 29:43.560 You have nothing really good to say about them? 29:45.700 --> 29:48.200 You're always wondering how they can be so evil? 29:50.440 --> 29:52.920 You're not thinking the kingdom of heaven thoughts. 29:54.040 --> 29:56.460 You're thinking the kingdom of darkness thoughts. 29:59.140 --> 30:03.900 We have to bring Paul said every thought into subjection 30:03.900 --> 30:07.200 and into the obedience of Christ, which is the anointing. 30:08.480 --> 30:14.780 What we dwell on, we create ourself an atmosphere for. 30:16.240 --> 30:19.420 And either God's kingdom will attract to that atmosphere 30:19.420 --> 30:21.180 or the devil's kingdom will attract. 30:21.520 --> 30:24.800 So it's good out loud to state what you're doing. 30:24.800 --> 30:29.220 And you always have to state the opposite of what the kingdom of darkness 30:29.220 --> 30:30.240 is trying to get you to do. 30:30.600 --> 30:34.040 Rather than saying, I just hate them under your breath. 30:35.040 --> 30:38.780 You need to say, God, I just want to love them. 30:39.740 --> 30:40.760 Show me how to love them. 30:43.220 --> 30:46.620 Instead of saying, I can't wait till they get theirs. 30:48.920 --> 30:53.060 Say something like, God just bless them with stuff they don't even deserve. 30:53.060 --> 30:59.820 Or go the opposite and put it out there out loud. 31:00.700 --> 31:03.460 Pray God's best on them. Do this from your heart. 31:03.920 --> 31:06.520 If you can't honestly do it from your heart, 31:06.720 --> 31:11.120 you need to deal with the attitudes or the motives that are already rooted there. 31:11.720 --> 31:13.860 Deal with your own sin, then go back to it. 31:15.220 --> 31:18.340 And then your next point is we need to stay in guard. 31:18.560 --> 31:19.860 Guard our heart. Watch out. 31:21.300 --> 31:24.620 So influences from the outside, we can sense them. 31:24.780 --> 31:27.900 We know they're there, address them, deal with them, get rid of them. 31:29.300 --> 31:33.440 Talk to them like they're living beings because they are. 31:34.160 --> 31:36.380 And the whole time you're paying attention to the Holy Spirit. 31:36.500 --> 31:38.220 What do I say? How do I handle this? 31:39.280 --> 31:42.720 Many people want help with their house. 31:43.620 --> 31:46.060 Because if you've never cleaned your house out spiritually, 31:46.100 --> 31:48.580 chances are really good. You've got critters there. 31:50.520 --> 31:53.040 And these critters are going to try to harass you. 31:53.580 --> 31:54.660 One way or the other. 31:56.220 --> 31:59.840 They're the ones who try to keep you from going to church. 32:00.560 --> 32:04.240 Have you ever noticed if there's a day of the week that you could really sleep in? 32:06.620 --> 32:11.460 You know, one of these people who could get up early most every day, 32:12.400 --> 32:15.480 but Sunday comes and it's like... 32:16.100 --> 32:19.960 Oh, I could just sleep this morning. 32:21.480 --> 32:23.700 And the feelings and the thoughts come. 32:25.120 --> 32:25.740 You should. 32:27.820 --> 32:30.320 But most time demons don't talk in the third person. 32:30.420 --> 32:34.040 They won't refer to us in the third person unless they know we're really inexperienced. 32:34.580 --> 32:37.960 If they know we have any experience at all, they'll speak to us in the first person. 32:39.120 --> 32:42.720 Which means they will pretend they're you when they put the thoughts in. 32:43.400 --> 32:48.760 They won't say, you should just stay home and relax. 32:49.120 --> 32:52.000 Unless you're really inexperienced, then they will, because then they don't care. 32:52.640 --> 32:55.260 But if they know you can recognize them, they'll say something like, 32:55.820 --> 33:00.120 you know, the thought just comes, I should just stay home and relax today. 33:02.290 --> 33:04.650 I've worked really hard this last week. 33:05.790 --> 33:08.130 I think I'm going to go back to sleep. 33:10.210 --> 33:11.810 That's what they'll whisper in your ear. 33:12.270 --> 33:13.950 And you think it's you thinking it. 33:15.270 --> 33:18.170 It's not you thinking it, it's them telling you what to think. 33:20.230 --> 33:25.130 All you have to do to test that, to see where it's coming from. 33:26.090 --> 33:28.570 Again, pay attention. Be aware of you. 33:29.450 --> 33:31.910 Why am I thinking this? Where is this coming from? 33:32.610 --> 33:36.110 All you have to do to test that is just say something out loud like, 33:37.350 --> 33:39.550 I just love God so much. 33:40.670 --> 33:44.810 I just want to get there and praise and worship him and listen for the next thought. 33:48.200 --> 33:50.300 I've had him literally cuss at me. 33:52.300 --> 33:58.380 You know, I should just call in sick today and let Dave do the church. 34:00.720 --> 34:03.080 That's his job. He needs to step up once in a while. 34:04.680 --> 34:05.860 I'm going to sleep in. 34:07.600 --> 34:10.680 If I will say anything out loud like, 34:12.200 --> 34:18.300 Yeah, that'd be nice, but God gave me something for somebody there and I've got to go deliver it. 34:19.400 --> 34:23.180 You blanket, a blank, blank, blank. That thought will run through my mind. 34:23.320 --> 34:25.120 It's like, caught ya. 34:26.980 --> 34:28.840 That thought wasn't even my thought. 34:30.120 --> 34:33.400 That was an outside influence trying to talk me into something. 34:33.940 --> 34:38.520 So what do you do? You just go through it and you dress it and you deal with it and kick it out. 34:39.680 --> 34:40.660 Get rid of it. 34:40.660 --> 34:44.260 Okay, let's do page 29, infestation from the inside. 34:45.020 --> 34:48.300 Again, the way you get rid of them is pretty much the same. 34:48.700 --> 34:50.960 This one has an added piece, but let's start with one. 34:51.080 --> 34:53.200 How can you tell they're on the inside of the temple? 34:53.780 --> 34:55.620 You can feel them and sense them. 34:56.220 --> 35:01.600 Now, the only way you will feel and sense them is if they're really, really bad. 35:02.100 --> 35:05.340 I mean, it's like they're haunting the castle. 35:06.240 --> 35:09.780 And or you've been free and now you sense something new here. 35:10.300 --> 35:12.260 Something different, something that's not God. 35:14.100 --> 35:16.960 I've had unsafe people tell me, I know I have a demon. 35:17.320 --> 35:19.840 I say, oh, you know you got a demon. I can feel them inside of me. 35:20.940 --> 35:22.120 I can rile them up. 35:23.600 --> 35:29.220 If I leave them alone and don't do your God thing, they stay pretty calm. 35:30.720 --> 35:34.280 But if I decide to go to church, it's like all hell breaks loose inside me. 35:35.180 --> 35:36.260 I know it's a demon. 35:37.300 --> 35:38.820 Probably right. Probably is one. 35:40.520 --> 35:46.620 And that is one of the things, by the way, that the demonic realm uses to try to stop us from growing in God. 35:48.300 --> 35:53.700 As long as we're not too serious about God, life stays pretty calm. 35:55.220 --> 35:56.540 But you get serious. 35:56.540 --> 36:02.940 And all of a sudden this is breaking and that person's blowing up and that's falling apart. 36:03.520 --> 36:09.660 And heaven forbid you make up your mind to start giving five bucks every Sunday to God. 36:11.480 --> 36:17.840 Now it's like your finances are under attack and you could lose your job and blah, blah, blah, blah. 36:18.380 --> 36:22.440 And all you have to do is back up and say, yeah, I think I'm not going to do that anymore. 36:22.440 --> 36:24.800 And all of a sudden everything settles back down. 36:26.440 --> 36:30.880 If that isn't a sign of demons, there is none. 36:31.620 --> 36:34.880 And there's so many people who will not go hot after God. 36:35.220 --> 36:41.060 I've counseled so many people who say, whenever I get serious about God, my life falls apart. 36:41.660 --> 36:45.420 You have demonic problems, maybe in and out. 36:46.800 --> 36:52.060 And if you don't push through that and deal with that, you will never amount to anything for God. 36:52.740 --> 36:57.100 Because every time you try, they're going to flare and shut you down, distract you. 36:58.100 --> 36:59.880 You have to go beyond that. 37:00.400 --> 37:03.420 So how can you tell? You can sense and feel them. There's physical manifestations. 37:04.240 --> 37:06.420 Sometimes we can see it ourselves. 37:07.860 --> 37:10.320 Sometimes we can't in ourselves. 37:10.500 --> 37:13.360 Now we're talking about personal body physical manifestations. 37:13.960 --> 37:16.860 Many times in a prayer line, you'll see a physical manifestation. 37:17.320 --> 37:20.380 The first place you see it is in the eyes if they have access to the brain. 37:20.620 --> 37:22.980 They have to have access to the brain to be able to look at you. 37:23.620 --> 37:24.820 Not all demons do. 37:25.860 --> 37:32.140 But if they do have access to the brain, when they get in God's presence or a Christian looks in their eyes, 37:33.420 --> 37:34.220 they'll manifest. 37:35.440 --> 37:37.220 And there's two, three things you look for. 37:37.220 --> 37:44.740 One is, for me, especially if you see me take my glasses off in a prayer line, 37:44.800 --> 37:46.800 I'm looking for a demon or I see one. 37:47.820 --> 37:51.900 Because somehow this blocks it a little bit. I don't know why, but it blocks it a little bit. 37:52.180 --> 37:55.140 But if I'm looking into the eyes of a demon, my eyes will begin to burn. 37:55.840 --> 37:58.340 And their eyes just go like they're in fire. 38:00.020 --> 38:00.880 That's one thing. 38:01.500 --> 38:06.500 Another thing is the pupils of the eye will either go really tiny 38:06.500 --> 38:07.860 or really big. 38:08.320 --> 38:10.060 And sometimes they do this. 38:10.820 --> 38:13.960 As you're looking at them, they're just going, the pupil. 38:14.780 --> 38:19.620 Or it just goes really big and it's like, it's not dark in here, why is the pupil so big? 38:19.860 --> 38:22.180 Or it goes really tiny, you can hardly see the pupil. 38:23.320 --> 38:25.720 Or the pupil will go in the shape of a cat eye. 38:26.720 --> 38:27.660 Or a snake eye. 38:28.520 --> 38:29.540 That happens too. 38:29.800 --> 38:31.940 Literally the pupil reshapes itself 38:32.780 --> 38:36.260 and becomes the shape of the being looking out at you. 38:37.440 --> 38:43.460 And the other thing that I've seen is the, you can have a guy or a woman mix. 38:43.540 --> 38:47.940 You can have an eye that's blue or brown, whatever. 38:48.600 --> 38:49.840 And it just goes black. 38:51.040 --> 38:55.320 If there have been times I've seen the entire eye, 38:55.680 --> 38:57.280 ball, the white and everything. 38:57.640 --> 39:00.020 You look at them and it's like an empty hole. 39:00.020 --> 39:05.040 There's no pupil, there's no iris, there's no white of the eye. 39:05.100 --> 39:06.380 The whole thing went black. 39:07.520 --> 39:10.020 And it's like, well, hello. 39:12.240 --> 39:13.940 We've got something to deal with. 39:15.700 --> 39:16.620 They manifested. 39:20.280 --> 39:21.360 Infestations from the inside. 39:21.540 --> 39:23.960 You live agitated, worked up, non-peaceful. 39:24.320 --> 39:25.680 You could go off at any time. 39:27.160 --> 39:28.600 We're not supposed to live like that. 39:28.600 --> 39:30.900 I'm not saying we won't have a bad day from here and there. 39:31.720 --> 39:37.760 But we're not supposed to live on the edge, agitated, all worked up, no peace. 39:37.880 --> 39:39.160 We could just go off at any time. 39:40.260 --> 39:41.680 Others can see it in your eyes. 39:42.700 --> 39:45.420 You know, I had one person say to me, I think so and so has got demons. 39:46.020 --> 39:49.860 I said, what do you, you know, Christians, everything's a demon. 39:50.140 --> 39:51.400 What do you think they got a demon? 39:52.420 --> 39:55.160 They said, have you ever seen their eyes when they get angry? 39:57.540 --> 39:59.420 Now that part is true. 39:59.720 --> 40:05.380 When people get angry, when people start spewing unforgiveness or hatred or bitterness, 40:06.220 --> 40:06.960 look in their eyes. 40:07.660 --> 40:13.100 You'll know if it's them or if it's demonically inspired and helping them. 40:13.380 --> 40:15.960 You'll see it. They're manifesting. They're there. 40:17.160 --> 40:20.160 The countenance is shaped and formed to be ungodly. 40:21.480 --> 40:24.740 Our countenance will, it is amazing. 40:24.740 --> 40:31.040 I don't want to take too much time here, but it is amazing to the things that science is discovering. 40:31.320 --> 40:38.720 Do you know that if you take a blood sample from someone before they're saved and get them saved 40:38.720 --> 40:44.700 and take a blood sample afterwards, you can see the difference in the blood under a microscope from before to after. 40:45.320 --> 40:49.060 Literally the whole inside of the being changes. 40:49.940 --> 40:53.240 I have watched people in the course of a year or two, 40:54.380 --> 41:00.880 literally their facial structure so changed it was hard to recognize them after they got saved. 41:01.840 --> 41:03.760 I've seen this with numerous people. 41:05.740 --> 41:12.260 Our facial structure will align with not only our spirit, 41:12.260 --> 41:18.640 or I should say the condition of our spirit, but also any other spirits living in our temple. 41:20.740 --> 41:22.620 I don't know why, it just, it does. 41:23.960 --> 41:28.880 And if someone backslides, for instance, turns their back on God, 41:29.680 --> 41:32.320 within three, four years their whole face looks different. 41:33.320 --> 41:36.120 The entire facial structure will change. 41:36.700 --> 41:38.560 And vice-versa is also true. 41:39.340 --> 41:42.860 If someone is saved, get saved. 41:43.220 --> 41:46.400 Within three, four years their whole structure changes. 41:47.040 --> 41:47.780 Facial structure. 41:49.140 --> 41:52.860 Some people you can tell they've got demons just by looking at their face. 41:53.080 --> 41:55.800 It's like, that's an evil-looking face. 41:57.400 --> 42:03.560 You ever, you know, don't point at anybody in case you're thinking somebody here is like that. 42:03.560 --> 42:10.120 But have you ever noticed some people's faces just look evil? 42:11.500 --> 42:12.960 Have you ever picked that up? 42:14.720 --> 42:20.560 That's because their spirits in there, including their spirit, is probably not saved and has gotten bad. 42:21.560 --> 42:23.720 That are shaping the body. 42:24.420 --> 42:31.780 Shaping the, how they hold their jaw, how they squint their eyes, how they, you know, it just reshapes them. 42:38.360 --> 42:45.440 If you look nasty, the whole face, you know, when some people get angry, their face shape changes. 42:46.580 --> 42:50.700 Not drastically. It's not like they look like another person, but they just look evil. 42:53.750 --> 42:55.470 I've seen it on people in this church. 42:57.810 --> 43:00.070 And they get angry and it's like, whoa. 43:02.460 --> 43:07.140 If you had a picture of them held it side by side and somebody was looking, you see the difference? 43:07.860 --> 43:10.280 Here's happy. Here's now. They're angry. 43:10.860 --> 43:11.760 And it's like, whoa. 43:13.380 --> 43:17.880 Yeah, that's an evidence. There's a spirit helping inspire this. 43:18.200 --> 43:18.860 So what do you do? 43:19.840 --> 43:23.260 The reason they're in their temple is in your temple is they have legal right. 43:23.440 --> 43:25.560 They have some place here in sin. 43:25.720 --> 43:28.520 It's either personal sin or ancestral generational stuff. 43:28.660 --> 43:29.780 You got to clear that up. 43:29.780 --> 43:32.400 If you don't deal with the sin, you'll never get them out. 43:32.960 --> 43:34.460 That is their legal right. 43:34.940 --> 43:35.740 1 John 3.8. 43:36.460 --> 43:38.440 The devil is a sinner from the beginning. 43:39.060 --> 43:40.840 Anyone who sins is of the devil. 43:41.720 --> 43:46.520 And we're talking and we talked about that willfully, habitually, ongoing sinning. 43:47.100 --> 43:50.900 You've got to clean that up because that is their legal right. 43:52.140 --> 43:55.200 They couldn't touch Jesus because they had nothing in Jesus. 43:55.440 --> 43:57.040 Jesus was without sin. 43:59.020 --> 44:01.800 They will hang on to us if we have legal sin. 44:02.380 --> 44:03.460 You'll never get them out. 44:03.760 --> 44:06.580 It'll just turn into a dog fight and so forth. 44:07.080 --> 44:10.380 Once you deal with the sin issue, many times they leave on their own. 44:10.520 --> 44:13.140 But if you want to go through the steps, they're very much the same. 44:13.780 --> 44:16.640 The generational sin thing, it's very self-explanatory. 44:16.780 --> 44:17.540 It's very much the same. 44:18.000 --> 44:21.920 Once the sin is dealt with, you just cut yourself away from them. 44:22.060 --> 44:23.620 Get out of me, be gone. 44:23.800 --> 44:25.160 I want nothing to do with you. 44:25.160 --> 44:27.080 Any and all of you. 44:28.460 --> 44:31.140 Nobody's going to hang back and hide here or anything. 44:31.340 --> 44:32.580 You know, the Holy Spirit will lead you. 44:32.940 --> 44:34.300 I bind you all together. 44:34.500 --> 44:36.560 I always say, as the Holy Spirit sees and knows, 44:37.260 --> 44:39.260 sometimes he'll even say, put in the number. 44:39.500 --> 44:41.720 As the Holy Spirit sees, knows and numbers you. 44:42.140 --> 44:43.640 Every one of you is going. 44:47.440 --> 44:49.920 And boom, command them to leave. 44:51.300 --> 44:52.980 Getting them out of your house and property. 44:53.220 --> 44:53.640 Let's go there. 44:54.420 --> 44:55.880 We don't have too much time left. 44:55.880 --> 44:59.920 And again, the steps of stating who you are, 45:00.060 --> 45:02.980 stating your position, why do you have the authority, 45:03.120 --> 45:05.760 stating your authority, speaking to them, 45:05.840 --> 45:08.180 binding them, telling them no, commanding them to leave. 45:08.320 --> 45:10.540 And so those steps are pretty much all the same. 45:10.960 --> 45:12.220 They just flow the same. 45:12.740 --> 45:13.380 House and property. 45:13.820 --> 45:16.040 This is a pretty typical one. 45:16.140 --> 45:17.820 People want their house or property cleaned up. 45:18.340 --> 45:19.660 How do you know demons are in there? 45:20.720 --> 45:22.560 Well, again, there are physical manifestations. 45:23.320 --> 45:24.820 Are you seeing things at night? 45:24.820 --> 45:27.420 Does the place just feel really evil? 45:27.920 --> 45:29.700 What is the deal that's going on? 45:29.900 --> 45:30.920 So I'll just give one story. 45:31.020 --> 45:32.700 This is a little bit more of an extreme story, 45:32.760 --> 45:34.280 but whenever I think of house and property, 45:34.400 --> 45:36.280 and I've gone through many houses 45:36.700 --> 45:38.120 to help people kind of clean them out. 45:38.740 --> 45:41.020 And this one always sticks out at the top. 45:41.100 --> 45:42.220 So I'm going to take five minutes here 45:42.220 --> 45:43.060 and I'm going to share this story 45:43.060 --> 45:44.700 even though it's more of an extreme story. 45:45.000 --> 45:47.120 It really brings the point across of what you do. 45:47.580 --> 45:48.640 So we had in Colorado, 45:48.640 --> 45:50.460 we had this young couple coming to the church. 45:50.600 --> 45:51.700 They were newly saved, 45:53.260 --> 45:54.740 came out of a rough background. 45:55.220 --> 45:57.380 One day they came to church after service. 45:57.440 --> 45:58.540 They said, we got to talk to you. 45:58.740 --> 46:00.680 Their little girl was three, I believe. 46:01.820 --> 46:03.900 She slept in a bedroom by herself in a crib. 46:04.480 --> 46:06.500 And they said, something is coming at night 46:06.500 --> 46:07.480 and biting her. 46:08.600 --> 46:10.180 I said, how do you know it's biting her? 46:10.800 --> 46:12.500 They said, she's got marks on her. 46:12.760 --> 46:14.020 I said, when's the last time it happened? 46:14.220 --> 46:15.060 They said, last night. 46:15.200 --> 46:16.040 I said, does she have marks? 46:16.200 --> 46:17.080 Yes, can I see them? 46:17.320 --> 46:17.580 Yes. 46:17.980 --> 46:19.080 So they lifted her shirt. 46:19.220 --> 46:21.680 Her back was, you could see the mouth 46:21.680 --> 46:25.360 print on the back in several spots. 46:25.580 --> 46:26.140 Some were red. 46:26.320 --> 46:27.400 Some were turning black and blue. 46:27.480 --> 46:28.100 It was hard bites. 46:31.340 --> 46:33.860 And one arm had a bite mark on it. 46:34.380 --> 46:36.340 And they said, what is this? 46:36.420 --> 46:37.020 I said, oh, it's demons. 46:37.760 --> 46:38.440 That's obvious. 46:40.020 --> 46:41.180 Oh, we've heard about that. 46:41.300 --> 46:42.260 We don't know much about it. 46:42.340 --> 46:43.140 We don't know what to do. 46:43.220 --> 46:43.780 Can you help us? 46:43.900 --> 46:44.320 I said, sure. 46:44.900 --> 46:48.600 So I got two, three people that I wanted to... 46:48.600 --> 46:51.260 I took people I wanted to teach in this. 46:51.940 --> 46:53.960 And I said, are you brave? 46:54.380 --> 46:54.980 Let's go do this. 46:55.160 --> 46:56.500 I want you to show you how to do this. 46:57.080 --> 46:58.360 So we went to their place. 46:58.500 --> 47:00.700 They lived in what we would call section 8 housing. 47:00.860 --> 47:03.120 So a lot of people had come and gone through that housing. 47:05.020 --> 47:10.180 And the first thing we did, you walk into the house and you just start praying. 47:11.520 --> 47:13.120 Lord, show me what's in this place. 47:13.400 --> 47:14.780 I like to pray in tongues through the whole place. 47:15.240 --> 47:19.700 I'll just start praying and just start walking through it room to room. 47:19.700 --> 47:22.520 First thing I'm looking for is which room feels evil? 47:23.020 --> 47:24.780 Does the whole house feel evil? 47:27.700 --> 47:28.980 You look in everything. 47:29.240 --> 47:30.140 You look in closets. 47:30.380 --> 47:33.860 You look in it because weird things happen in weird places. 47:35.480 --> 47:41.480 And many times the point of the sin is the ground. 47:41.780 --> 47:42.980 And that's where they're hiding. 47:43.640 --> 47:46.920 So, you know, you look everywhere. 47:47.240 --> 47:48.180 Let's just call it that. 47:48.180 --> 47:49.880 So I sent the whole group. 47:50.040 --> 47:51.020 I said, just walk through the house. 47:51.400 --> 47:56.720 I said, we're going to come back together and you tell me what you feel in every room 47:56.720 --> 47:58.980 and what feels the most evil. 47:59.860 --> 48:04.740 Well, long story short, everything felt kind of tainted, kind of nasty. 48:05.500 --> 48:07.500 But one room everybody agreed on. 48:09.140 --> 48:15.520 The room the little girl slept in was like nasty dishes felt evil. 48:16.880 --> 48:20.220 So when I felt that, I stayed there a little while longer. 48:20.720 --> 48:22.860 I said, Lord, show me what is this? 48:23.060 --> 48:23.740 What is this? 48:24.600 --> 48:26.140 So I knew what was coming. 48:27.220 --> 48:31.680 In the middle of the room, it was a normal bedroom set up with a crib and so forth. 48:31.720 --> 48:38.880 But in the middle of the room, there was a spot that when you walked into it, it felt cold. 48:40.760 --> 48:42.900 It just like feels cold. 48:46.280 --> 48:47.840 And fear would try to grab you. 48:48.520 --> 48:49.520 And it was like a cylinder. 48:50.260 --> 48:52.380 You could step into it and you could step out of it. 48:53.400 --> 48:55.100 And it would go away and you'd feel normal again. 48:56.420 --> 49:00.240 So I went to the corner of the room and I just closed my eyes and it just turned. 49:00.900 --> 49:07.260 And you could feel its presence emanating, you know, depending upon what direction it was. 49:07.700 --> 49:08.840 So I took him back up there. 49:08.940 --> 49:10.640 I said, okay, so you say this room feels evil. 49:11.200 --> 49:12.340 What in here feels evil? 49:13.260 --> 49:14.500 I don't know, it just feels evil. 49:15.140 --> 49:17.660 I said, do me a favor, go stand in the middle of the room. 49:17.880 --> 49:20.480 I took one, just go stand in the middle room and tell me what you feel. 49:21.300 --> 49:22.960 Oh, they just... 49:24.000 --> 49:25.480 Oh, I just stepped into something. 49:25.640 --> 49:26.980 This is gay, that's nasty. 49:27.260 --> 49:28.080 I don't know what that is. 49:29.820 --> 49:30.320 There you go. 49:31.500 --> 49:33.060 So I called people up. 49:33.300 --> 49:36.700 I said, so what happened in this room? 49:37.000 --> 49:37.780 What are you guys into? 49:38.400 --> 49:40.280 Because the first thing I'm thinking is sacrifice. 49:40.880 --> 49:41.760 They opened a portal. 49:42.380 --> 49:48.360 Somebody opened a portal in this room to the spirit realm that's letting these demons go through and are biting this baby. 49:50.040 --> 49:51.720 Who did this? What is this? 49:52.860 --> 49:54.120 Now we haven't done nothing. 49:54.700 --> 49:56.180 We don't do witchcraft. 49:56.300 --> 49:57.420 We don't do Ouija boards. 49:57.580 --> 49:59.080 We don't do none of that kind of stuff. 49:59.720 --> 50:03.380 I said, do you have any idea who lived here before this, that and the other? 50:04.240 --> 50:07.880 Well, it was either the previous person or the one previous to them. 50:07.920 --> 50:10.500 They said, someone did tell us when we moved in here. 50:10.600 --> 50:14.480 They said, you know, the guy who used to live in there, he was just weird. 50:16.360 --> 50:17.760 And they described him. 50:18.040 --> 50:22.960 He would just randomly grab a cat and take it in here and he'd kill it for whatever reason. 50:23.380 --> 50:25.500 So he was into sacrificing. 50:28.700 --> 50:33.360 I said, did anybody redo this room? 50:33.360 --> 50:37.700 Or is new carpet, because the carpet looks pretty good, but paint looks good. 50:37.760 --> 50:39.040 Did you guys do this, whatever? 50:40.620 --> 50:42.340 They said, well, yeah. 50:43.240 --> 50:44.960 I believe it was them or the painter. 50:45.660 --> 50:47.120 And they laid new carpet. 50:47.880 --> 50:53.580 They said when they took the old carpet out, there was like a burnt spot in the carpet and on the floor. 50:53.860 --> 50:56.540 And when they took the carpet out, there was a star drawn on the floor. 50:57.680 --> 50:58.460 What's a pentagram? 50:59.380 --> 51:01.920 I said, bingo, we just found what we're looking for. 51:03.080 --> 51:07.620 So we proceeded to do what the book says and submitted that place to God. 51:08.120 --> 51:10.600 This has new renters. This has new people in it. 51:10.660 --> 51:11.940 These people are not of your kingdom. 51:12.440 --> 51:14.660 We break that. We shut that up. 51:15.220 --> 51:16.920 That portal has to close. 51:17.460 --> 51:18.880 We command it to close. 51:19.080 --> 51:20.300 It's no longer welcome here. 51:20.840 --> 51:28.400 And just walked through it, agreed in prayer, commanded that thing to shut, and stayed there until we couldn't sense anything anymore. 51:28.400 --> 51:29.480 It was gone. 51:30.200 --> 51:34.640 And we just went through the house and cleaned up the rest of the residue and left. 51:36.460 --> 51:38.900 Never once did that child have a problem again. 51:39.740 --> 51:40.280 It was over. 51:41.280 --> 51:42.820 So there's an extreme case. 51:43.580 --> 51:48.580 I mean, you literally moved into an apartment where they had opened a portal. 51:49.180 --> 51:51.680 And it's like, yeah, I can make for some restless nights. 51:53.840 --> 51:56.760 But you just follow it through and you close them. 51:56.760 --> 51:58.760 No matter what you feel in the property. 51:58.920 --> 52:00.680 I prayed over one house not long ago. 52:01.800 --> 52:03.740 And I said, so what are you troubled with? 52:04.100 --> 52:07.520 And they said, just go through the house and tell us what you feel and which room is the worst. 52:08.480 --> 52:11.000 So I went through and I said, well, I'm feeling this, that and the other. 52:11.260 --> 52:13.840 And that room, that bedroom is by far the worst. 52:14.240 --> 52:16.220 Yeah, that's what we feel too. That's what we thought. 52:17.700 --> 52:20.020 So we prayed through it and this, that and the other. 52:20.460 --> 52:24.560 And the one thing that's not in here real strong, we're going to get into it. 52:24.560 --> 52:26.920 Once you clean something out, you have to hold the ground. 52:27.960 --> 52:31.080 And we're going to talk about holding the ground or holding the land. 52:33.220 --> 52:34.340 Haven't gotten there yet. 52:34.580 --> 52:38.320 But you can't just walk away and now you're on a holiday pretending everything's great. 52:39.000 --> 52:41.160 Cleansing items is very much the same thing. 52:42.100 --> 52:43.060 Very easy. 52:44.680 --> 52:47.900 Certain items, we just shouldn't own other things. 52:48.520 --> 52:50.140 Christians get spooked about. 52:50.940 --> 52:52.380 And it's no big deal. 52:53.140 --> 52:56.580 My opinion, there's no reason and this is my perspective. 52:56.760 --> 52:59.720 There's no reason for a Christian to ever own a Harry Potter book. 53:00.680 --> 53:03.820 I mean, how is it going to help you spiritually? 53:05.300 --> 53:12.880 It's all it does is give you information on how to make the evil side of the spirit realm work in the story. 53:13.660 --> 53:16.200 So I mean, that's a no brainer. Just get rid of it. 53:16.880 --> 53:21.620 But sometimes Christians get all spooked about different things and they shouldn't be. 53:21.620 --> 53:23.520 Just take authority over clean it up. 53:23.880 --> 53:27.400 Now, I do remember, for those of you that grew up in the church when you were little, 53:27.520 --> 53:29.920 Sally and Ken, you might remember this. Dave, you might remember this. 53:30.220 --> 53:34.200 Remember when the missionaries would come through, they'd bring all their witchcraft paraphernalia with 53:34.200 --> 53:36.660 and lay it on the altar to display it? 53:37.280 --> 53:39.580 Anybody have that happen? Remember that? 53:39.840 --> 53:41.100 Yeah, that was normal. 53:41.480 --> 53:44.980 I used to as a kid, I used to get all excited when I heard a missionary from Africa's coming. 53:46.300 --> 53:48.800 Because I had nothing to do with what they were going to say. 53:49.400 --> 53:51.880 Had to do with the suitcases they're going to bring in. 53:51.980 --> 53:56.240 Because they'd always bring in all kinds of paraphernalia. 53:57.000 --> 54:01.400 From which, yeah, sacred items from people that got saved and they turned them in to get rid of them. 54:01.600 --> 54:08.340 And from which doctors and it was all the way from rattles to shrunken heads to all kinds of stuff. 54:10.500 --> 54:13.380 And they'd lay it out, they'd display it across the front of the altar. 54:18.640 --> 54:22.860 Now that I know what I know now, it's like, that wasn't the brightest. 54:25.260 --> 54:27.520 That was not, no. 54:29.440 --> 54:33.880 But they did it. Some items like shrunken heads, just get rid of it. 54:36.300 --> 54:37.440 You don't need it. 54:38.260 --> 54:42.940 If you feel evil on something that you want to keep, well pray over it and get it cleaned up. 54:42.940 --> 54:45.220 And if it feels good to you, then hang on to it. 54:45.480 --> 54:48.960 But some things we just shouldn't have. And that's all I'll say about cleansing items. 54:49.040 --> 54:50.820 Everything's pretty much self-explanatory there. 54:51.160 --> 54:54.820 I just want to briefly touch, dealing with regional demons or spiritual forces. 54:55.520 --> 54:58.980 So if you've read this through, then I don't have to say too much. 54:59.620 --> 55:02.420 If you haven't, you'll need to read it through to get the impart here. 55:03.480 --> 55:09.980 What we have discovered to this point is one of the ways demonic forces get access to us 55:09.980 --> 55:15.880 or we become part of their kingdom and allow them legal right to us is through sin. 55:16.800 --> 55:21.780 And the only way you can unhook that is you have to unhook from the sin. 55:22.320 --> 55:25.660 Confess the sin, repent the sin, get the sin under the blood. 55:26.240 --> 55:30.420 Unhook yourself from that kingdom and get back to righteousness. 55:30.960 --> 55:32.700 Rehook yourself with God's kingdom. 55:33.260 --> 55:38.960 That will give you the ability to walk free of whatever demonic thing is harassing you 55:38.960 --> 55:43.000 from the outside, from the inside, your house, an item, whatever. 55:43.220 --> 55:44.560 It gives you the ability to walk free. 55:45.160 --> 55:47.240 Here's the problem with regional demons. 55:48.680 --> 55:51.380 Regional demons are there because of regional sin. 55:54.120 --> 55:57.200 So if I brought up an example at the beginning. 55:57.600 --> 56:00.200 So let's just go with it and I'll expand on it a little bit. 56:00.360 --> 56:04.080 So we've got someone who is wanting to take authority 56:04.080 --> 56:09.080 over the spirits of lesbianism and homosexuality and LGBTQ2 56:10.000 --> 56:13.740 and that whole thing that is working in the state capital 56:13.740 --> 56:17.140 that's causing all this stuff to happen in our state. 56:17.680 --> 56:19.210 We're going to pull down those strongholds 56:19.800 --> 56:22.660 and we're going to get rid of that stuff and change this state. 56:23.880 --> 56:28.580 So now take the basic principle of why are they there? 56:29.120 --> 56:31.120 The same way, why would they be here? 56:31.800 --> 56:33.360 They've been given legal right. 56:34.340 --> 56:37.300 Now I have jurisdiction over here, over this. 56:38.720 --> 56:43.040 I alone don't have jurisdiction over the state or the state capital. 56:45.540 --> 56:48.700 That is the people's capital. 56:49.720 --> 56:53.680 And the government is actually the people's government. 56:54.400 --> 56:56.420 We put the people in there who are in there. 56:56.880 --> 56:59.280 We put the laws in place because we voted 56:59.280 --> 57:03.840 and some laws we personally voted in and it's like same-sex marriage. 57:04.300 --> 57:06.280 We voted that in as the people. 57:07.920 --> 57:12.560 So from my perspective, some of these things are absolutely contrary to God. 57:13.180 --> 57:13.820 They're ungodly. 57:14.800 --> 57:18.080 So anytime you've got something that's totally contrary to God 57:18.080 --> 57:21.260 and ungodly, you only have one other kingdom that's going to embrace that. 57:21.380 --> 57:22.340 That's the kingdom of darkness. 57:22.600 --> 57:25.560 So you're going to get the presence of that. 57:25.680 --> 57:26.980 You're going to get the spirits of that. 57:26.980 --> 57:30.760 Everything trying to support that ungodliness or that sin. 57:31.760 --> 57:37.000 The only way you can get rid of that support or that presence, that support, 57:37.160 --> 57:39.080 is you've got to get rid of the sin. 57:42.570 --> 57:49.930 Now if we as a people of the state of Minnesota would repent of the sin 57:50.670 --> 57:52.490 and change the law, 57:53.530 --> 57:56.370 now the demons have nothing to hold on to. 57:57.190 --> 57:58.150 The spirits. 57:58.910 --> 58:00.490 They've lost their foothold. 58:01.210 --> 58:02.430 They've lost their ground. 58:03.690 --> 58:07.730 But as one member of the state of Minnesota, 58:08.770 --> 58:12.230 I do not have the right to go there 58:12.230 --> 58:17.530 and get rid of any principality or power who is established 58:17.530 --> 58:20.750 because of the sins of the people. 58:22.070 --> 58:24.430 The people need to repent 58:25.290 --> 58:29.730 because the spirit is attached to the multitude, not to one. 58:30.370 --> 58:34.830 It's attached to the multitude so the multitude can deal with it. 58:36.550 --> 58:39.010 But you're going, well, fat chance it will. 58:39.710 --> 58:42.470 Well, yeah, that's why we've got the problems we've got. 58:43.810 --> 58:47.370 So it's in the hands of the people who open the door, 58:47.650 --> 58:49.470 the people have to close the door. 58:50.410 --> 58:53.530 The whole concept of we're going to pull down strongholds, 58:53.530 --> 58:57.730 could you show me one place in Scripture where a spiritual stronghold 58:57.730 --> 58:59.610 can be pulled down by a Christian? 59:02.860 --> 59:05.060 If you find one, give it to me because I'm missing it. 59:05.340 --> 59:07.000 If it's there, I'm not finding it. 59:08.440 --> 59:10.940 2 Corinthians 10, we can pull down... 59:10.940 --> 59:12.340 I believe you first are 2 Corinthians. 59:12.440 --> 59:13.480 I think it's 2 Corinthians 10. 59:14.160 --> 59:16.340 It speaks of pulling down strongholds, 59:16.340 --> 59:18.140 but that's talking about the mind. 59:19.060 --> 59:20.800 It's not talking about demons at all. 59:21.440 --> 59:22.780 The demons are never mentioned. 59:23.120 --> 59:25.860 Spiritual forces are never mentioned in 2 Corinthians 10. 59:26.380 --> 59:28.940 It talks about arguments, pretenses, 59:29.260 --> 59:32.860 things that set itself up against the knowledge of God. 59:33.080 --> 59:35.380 It's all talking about the strongholds of the mind. 59:35.820 --> 59:36.980 Not talking about demons. 59:37.200 --> 59:38.600 There is no place to my knowledge 59:39.060 --> 59:41.460 where Jesus addressed regional demons. 59:43.280 --> 59:45.000 Now he does, I'm sure. 59:45.600 --> 59:46.920 But when he was on earth, 59:47.100 --> 59:48.140 Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, 59:48.360 --> 59:50.760 I don't know of any place where Jesus ever addressed them. 59:51.080 --> 59:53.260 I don't know of any place from the book of Acts 59:53.260 --> 59:54.380 through the book of Revelation 59:54.960 --> 59:59.680 where regional spiritual forces were dealt with by Christians. 01:00:01.240 --> 01:00:02.280 I can't see it. 01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:04.040 So if you can find it, please point it out to me 01:00:04.040 --> 01:00:07.120 because at this point I say it's not in there 01:00:07.120 --> 01:00:08.480 because we can't do it. 01:00:09.700 --> 01:00:13.700 Because regional demons have to be dealt with by the region. 01:00:14.580 --> 01:00:18.020 Now, can we live in this vectoriously? Absolutely. 01:00:18.700 --> 01:00:19.920 I believe it was the church of Thyatira. 01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:22.920 It's in that explanation there. 01:00:23.720 --> 01:00:25.900 They lived where Satan had his throne. 01:00:28.040 --> 01:00:29.640 I mean, that's what Jesus said to them. 01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:31.900 You're doing good in these areas. 01:00:32.760 --> 01:00:35.000 I know you're living where Satan has his throne, 01:00:35.740 --> 01:00:37.000 but that's no excuse. 01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:38.920 I still got some issues with you. 01:00:39.000 --> 01:00:39.840 You need to clean up. 01:00:41.200 --> 01:00:43.780 Wouldn't it be an excuse if Satan himself 01:00:44.980 --> 01:00:47.140 had his throne set up here? 01:00:47.620 --> 01:00:49.120 I mean, that cut us some slack. 01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:50.140 Not in Jesus' mind. 01:00:51.300 --> 01:00:53.060 Because he still can't touch us. 01:00:53.300 --> 01:00:54.540 He still can't rule us. 01:00:54.780 --> 01:00:57.140 He still has no authority over us unless we give it to him. 01:01:00.050 --> 01:01:03.190 We walk victorious over everything. 01:01:05.590 --> 01:01:08.150 That's why he prepares a table for us 01:01:09.050 --> 01:01:10.790 in the presence of our enemies. 01:01:11.130 --> 01:01:12.730 He doesn't kick the enemies out. 01:01:13.810 --> 01:01:15.230 He just moves them to the side 01:01:15.230 --> 01:01:16.790 and says, hey, I want to feed my kids here. 01:01:16.970 --> 01:01:18.930 He sits down a table and loads it up 01:01:18.930 --> 01:01:21.090 and sits us down and we're surrounded by our enemies. 01:01:21.530 --> 01:01:22.830 They can't touch us. 01:01:23.290 --> 01:01:24.970 They can't do anything with us. 01:01:26.510 --> 01:01:27.910 So the whole thing of, 01:01:28.250 --> 01:01:30.730 well, there's a spirit of such and such 01:01:30.730 --> 01:01:31.990 over Cambridge. 01:01:32.770 --> 01:01:33.650 Yeah, whatever. 01:01:34.950 --> 01:01:35.990 Life goes on. 01:01:35.990 --> 01:01:38.590 And it isn't going to affect me 01:01:38.590 --> 01:01:40.270 because I've got the armor on. 01:01:40.750 --> 01:01:43.770 And I want to keep the armor on just because that's what Paul says. 01:01:44.110 --> 01:01:46.170 Here's how you deal with principalities and powers 01:01:46.170 --> 01:01:48.250 and spiritual forces in high places. 01:01:48.770 --> 01:01:49.570 Regional stuff. 01:01:50.470 --> 01:01:51.370 Here's how you deal with it. 01:01:51.590 --> 01:01:54.910 You put the armor on and you just live aware. 01:01:57.170 --> 01:01:59.750 And if some kind of goofy thing tries to get on you, 01:02:00.370 --> 01:02:01.130 kick it off. 01:02:01.250 --> 01:02:02.010 I'll give you one example. 01:02:02.010 --> 01:02:06.130 In June, I went with my brother and his wife to the Black Hills 01:02:07.410 --> 01:02:09.410 and we were going... 01:02:09.410 --> 01:02:11.130 I tried to... 01:02:11.130 --> 01:02:12.630 Let me back up and preface this. 01:02:13.770 --> 01:02:16.010 This is good advice for all of us. 01:02:16.410 --> 01:02:17.790 It was advice given to me. 01:02:18.430 --> 01:02:20.630 They said, if you want to really sense the spirit realm, 01:02:20.710 --> 01:02:22.890 you don't wait until you need to sense it 01:02:22.890 --> 01:02:24.350 because it's staring you in the face. 01:02:24.990 --> 01:02:26.090 You do it daily. 01:02:27.390 --> 01:02:30.810 Learn to sense the presence around you. 01:02:30.810 --> 01:02:35.570 God, angels, demons, you practice this daily. 01:02:35.930 --> 01:02:39.590 So anytime I go anyplace, I like to sense and try to nail down 01:02:39.590 --> 01:02:41.690 what spirit is over whatever town. 01:02:42.950 --> 01:02:44.890 When you're driving through the town, what spirit's here? 01:02:45.490 --> 01:02:46.870 What are these people living under? 01:02:48.270 --> 01:02:51.770 So we're going through a town in southwest side of North Dakota 01:02:51.770 --> 01:02:53.670 and we stopped to get a bite to eat this, that and the other. 01:02:53.730 --> 01:02:56.770 So we were there for half an hour, 45 minutes, maybe whatever. 01:02:57.810 --> 01:02:58.810 And I'm sitting there 01:02:59.370 --> 01:03:03.230 and I'm going, this town is depressed 01:03:03.810 --> 01:03:05.570 and is struggling with poverty. 01:03:06.970 --> 01:03:10.250 And when I grew up, it just didn't feel like that to me. 01:03:10.310 --> 01:03:12.450 It just didn't seem like it was that way. 01:03:12.970 --> 01:03:15.230 So I mentioned it to my brother. 01:03:15.610 --> 01:03:19.990 I said, why would this town be struggling with poverty? 01:03:20.310 --> 01:03:23.410 I said, it feels like poverty and depression here. 01:03:25.070 --> 01:03:26.450 And he said, I don't know. 01:03:28.050 --> 01:03:29.570 I said, well, what's happened here? 01:03:29.690 --> 01:03:31.250 That would cause these people to be poor. 01:03:32.230 --> 01:03:36.130 He said, oh, this might be part of it. 01:03:36.750 --> 01:03:39.950 They had extreme drought and they had to sell off almost all their cattle. 01:03:40.310 --> 01:03:43.790 It's a ranching area, very little farming, mostly ranching. 01:03:44.130 --> 01:03:45.690 They had to sell off most of their cattle. 01:03:46.930 --> 01:03:49.850 So now they're in the process of rebuilding their herds. 01:03:50.950 --> 01:03:53.250 So when you rebuild your herds, you can't sell much. 01:03:53.370 --> 01:03:56.070 You don't have much income because you're trying to keep everything you can. 01:03:56.070 --> 01:03:57.930 To get your numbers back up. 01:03:58.610 --> 01:04:01.510 I said, I'll bet you that's part of this. 01:04:02.210 --> 01:04:06.570 Because this just feels nasty like poverty and depression. 01:04:06.850 --> 01:04:08.250 Like what's the reason? What's the hope? 01:04:08.710 --> 01:04:11.210 Why should I even try? That was the feeling. 01:04:11.890 --> 01:04:15.290 Well, that's a small regional demon. 01:04:16.850 --> 01:04:19.110 So once you recognize it, what do you do? 01:04:19.570 --> 01:04:20.690 Well, you don't give into it. 01:04:22.990 --> 01:04:25.890 It's singing its song of whatever is being produced there. 01:04:26.670 --> 01:04:28.370 Well, you don't sing along with it. 01:04:29.330 --> 01:04:34.910 I mean, if you live there, you know I am not going to agree with poverty 01:04:35.950 --> 01:04:39.890 and any kind of depression that tries to get on me, I'm going to fight tooth and nail. 01:04:40.530 --> 01:04:42.850 I'm going to keep the armor of God on. I'm not going there. 01:04:43.790 --> 01:04:49.510 Some places you drive through it just feels like child molestation and perpetration. 01:04:49.510 --> 01:04:53.130 Just a little town out in the middle of nowhere, those of you who did the worst. 01:04:53.850 --> 01:04:58.130 There's no entertainment, there's nothing to do, but perp on the little kids. 01:04:58.830 --> 01:05:01.290 And you drive through it and it's like... 01:05:01.290 --> 01:05:04.290 This place is full of sexual sin. 01:05:06.330 --> 01:05:09.170 Well, what do you do if you're living there or you're living in the area 01:05:09.170 --> 01:05:11.510 or you know people who are? You don't give into it. 01:05:11.970 --> 01:05:14.070 You put on the armor of God. It's a regional thing. 01:05:14.070 --> 01:05:15.970 You can't get rid of it. 01:05:17.690 --> 01:05:21.190 If you've got a town of 500 people, just a little town 01:05:22.570 --> 01:05:25.650 and half of them are involved in some kind of sexual sin, 01:05:25.790 --> 01:05:28.590 whether it's perping on children, wife swapping, whatever. 01:05:30.790 --> 01:05:33.310 You're trying to get rid of that demon will do nothing 01:05:33.310 --> 01:05:36.650 because it's got a welcoming pad with all their sin. 01:05:36.890 --> 01:05:39.950 And it won't leave until they fold up that welcoming pad, 01:05:40.190 --> 01:05:42.790 repent and get it under the blood. 01:05:42.790 --> 01:05:45.710 Then it has no right. Then you can shoo it off. 01:05:46.210 --> 01:05:48.990 As a group of people, you can shoo it off. Get out of here. 01:05:49.490 --> 01:05:52.250 You have no right anymore. As long as it has right, it's not going to leave. 01:05:53.050 --> 01:05:55.550 But see, the point is you can live in the middle of that, 01:05:56.670 --> 01:05:58.850 a victorious, overcoming Christian. 01:05:59.890 --> 01:06:01.630 It does not have to affect us. 01:06:03.770 --> 01:06:06.930 So, as you can tell, I'm not big into pulling down regional stuff 01:06:07.410 --> 01:06:08.670 because I don't see it in the Word. 01:06:08.970 --> 01:06:11.910 I don't see Jesus ever did it. I don't see where the disciples ever did it. 01:06:11.910 --> 01:06:14.310 I don't think we have the authority to do it. 01:06:15.410 --> 01:06:19.550 They'll all come crashing down when Jesus comes back and sets up for the millennium. 01:06:20.510 --> 01:06:23.990 Now he's in charge. So then that's all going to come crashing down. 01:06:24.190 --> 01:06:25.530 But in the meantime, is where it is. 01:06:26.330 --> 01:06:28.050 So, thank you for joining us.
