WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:01.640
Are we ready to get into the word?

00:03.000 --> 00:08.120
Shop! All right. Well, that's what we're gonna do this morning. I just want to mention that

00:09.520 --> 00:11.180
Pasartania nailed it in prayer

00:11.900 --> 00:14.360
Because I know she doesn't know what I'm speaking on this morning

00:14.360 --> 00:21.220
She doesn't you know, we don't converse about that and I love when that happens when the praise band just happens to pick warfare songs

00:21.220 --> 00:24.740
Right out of the gates, right? I never talked to him about anything

00:24.740 --> 00:29.880
You know everything just starts to connect and what she was talking about this morning connects right

00:30.000 --> 00:34.620
Into this in the fact that we're going into learning how to humble ourselves

00:35.660 --> 00:36.580
How to go low

00:37.700 --> 00:42.420
Right the Lord told pastor and I though that the subject has to be dealt with now

00:42.420 --> 00:44.440
This is a subject you could speak on for months

00:45.160 --> 00:49.820
Going every different way and I'm gonna machine gun you with it this morning. Can you handle that?

00:50.260 --> 00:51.680
I got one morning just like

00:51.680 --> 00:58.560
You know and so so just open up and and take it in okay, and and that is the subject

00:58.560 --> 01:00.380
We're doing two different things here

01:01.280 --> 01:07.120
Devonation or sooth saying and then we're gonna talk about Leviathan spirit

01:07.780 --> 01:09.800
Now I want to say out of the gates

01:10.440 --> 01:16.020
Some people don't believe in that type of stuff or some people will will say you know

01:16.020 --> 01:21.520
They get the picture of this demon and everything's about the demon and and that's not what we're talking about this morning

01:21.520 --> 01:25.900
We're talking about characteristics of the way of thinking of the demonic realm

01:26.700 --> 01:30.420
And the reason we have to nail this is to posture ourself, right?

01:30.920 --> 01:36.000
Before Pastor Igor Ilan comes and talks about humbleness and going low.

01:36.800 --> 01:40.660
Or we won't be able to receive what he's going to say.

01:41.020 --> 01:43.740
So I'm just saying that, you might go, huh, no, I could...

01:43.740 --> 01:45.480
We need to clear some atmosphere stuff.

01:45.920 --> 01:47.400
Is that another way of saying it? Amen?

01:48.700 --> 01:52.600
And so let's just go through the Leviathan spirit

01:52.600 --> 01:54.400
and let's just talk about that a little bit.

01:54.400 --> 01:56.220
I'm just going to give you characteristics,

01:56.380 --> 01:58.840
because I don't have time to just go through everything.

01:58.980 --> 02:00.400
Remember I said I was going to machine gun you.

02:00.720 --> 02:02.640
But we're going to bring it all together in the end.

02:03.160 --> 02:06.840
So number one characteristic is sewing division,

02:07.460 --> 02:09.740
strife, and twisting words.

02:10.740 --> 02:13.400
Now, the series that was preached before

02:14.060 --> 02:18.380
was everything from fear to offense to all those things.

02:18.400 --> 02:20.120
Because when you're afraid, you get offended easier.

02:20.260 --> 02:20.800
Did you know that?

02:21.740 --> 02:24.720
Because you have to protect the area that you were wounded in.

02:25.340 --> 02:27.620
And I'm afraid it's going to happen to me again.

02:27.700 --> 02:30.640
So I heard you say a certain thing and now I'm offended easily.

02:31.500 --> 02:31.840
Right?

02:32.080 --> 02:34.640
So interesting that God brought us through those series.

02:35.340 --> 02:38.600
And now I'm talking about the way of thinking

02:38.600 --> 02:41.100
of the Leviathan that's described in the Bible.

02:41.600 --> 02:44.500
And I'll take you to where one of the places is described.

02:45.060 --> 02:48.140
So sewing division, strife, and twisting words.

02:48.640 --> 02:51.580
They call the Leviathan like a water dragon.

02:52.380 --> 02:55.300
So it's a type, but this is a way of thinking.

02:55.560 --> 02:58.140
So the type of the water dragon is a description

02:58.140 --> 03:01.500
like an alligator or a dragon that would lay in the water.

03:01.640 --> 03:03.640
The water represents the anointing.

03:04.180 --> 03:07.280
And so people who carry this really like to get close

03:07.280 --> 03:08.100
to the anointing.

03:08.160 --> 03:11.220
You would think that they want to be far away from the anointing.

03:11.700 --> 03:13.580
But they'll find places where they're like,

03:13.640 --> 03:16.360
oh, and they'll sit in the water just like an alligator does.

03:16.360 --> 03:19.160
You know, alligator or crocs even.

03:19.400 --> 03:20.900
They'll sit in there and you've got half an eye

03:21.480 --> 03:24.280
sticking above the water and there's lurking in there.

03:25.020 --> 03:26.380
Listening and doing all that.

03:26.500 --> 03:29.180
But they're waiting for a time to sew division

03:29.180 --> 03:31.660
to sew strife because where there's strife

03:31.660 --> 03:33.920
there dwelleth every evil and wicked thing.

03:34.380 --> 03:35.240
And twist words.

03:36.780 --> 03:39.420
You ever have an argument with your husband or your wife?

03:40.720 --> 03:42.500
No, no one answers that question.

03:43.280 --> 03:45.580
What? Me? That's just not...

03:45.580 --> 03:48.280
Well, you ever have one where it's like you start out

03:48.280 --> 03:49.840
talking about a certain thing and after a while

03:49.840 --> 03:50.900
you don't know what you're arguing about?

03:51.720 --> 03:52.440
Anybody have that?

03:52.980 --> 03:54.880
Come on, let's get some honesty up in this house.

03:55.500 --> 03:58.060
And so, but there's something that gets involved

03:58.060 --> 04:00.600
with that when it goes past just reasoning

04:00.600 --> 04:02.340
and trying to figure something out.

04:02.440 --> 04:04.100
I want you to win and you want me to win.

04:04.220 --> 04:07.820
Let's just both win and figure out that middle ground.

04:08.400 --> 04:09.360
It twists words.

04:09.980 --> 04:11.660
All of a sudden you'll hear them say something

04:11.660 --> 04:13.620
they didn't say or they said it in a way

04:13.620 --> 04:15.620
you thought they said something else and it just

04:15.620 --> 04:18.000
keeps compounding then you're wounded more.

04:18.480 --> 04:20.520
And then you're like, well, you just said that to me

04:20.520 --> 04:22.900
and these I never said that. Yes, you did.

04:23.000 --> 04:23.540
I just heard none.

04:23.720 --> 04:25.520
You're arguing about whether or not a person said it

04:26.040 --> 04:27.600
and that can go on for half an hour

04:27.600 --> 04:28.560
and it's fine.

04:28.740 --> 04:29.200
Well, fine.

04:29.300 --> 04:30.580
And then people just separate.

04:32.580 --> 04:33.640
That's what this thing does.

04:34.780 --> 04:36.160
It gets into relationships.

04:36.540 --> 04:37.700
It gets into the church.

04:37.860 --> 04:38.360
It gets in.

04:38.360 --> 04:40.960
And it sows division, strife and twisting words.

04:41.440 --> 04:43.500
And it comes out of spiritual pride.

04:44.200 --> 04:45.900
Now Job 41, 15.

04:46.040 --> 04:47.100
You can turn your Bibles there.

04:47.240 --> 04:48.240
We can watch on screen.

04:49.020 --> 04:50.820
They could bring up Job is 41.

04:52.480 --> 04:52.960
15.

04:55.060 --> 04:57.420
And I'm in the wrong place in my Bible.

04:57.940 --> 04:58.720
So let me go there.

04:59.860 --> 05:00.200
All right.

05:00.920 --> 05:02.500
15 is describing,

05:03.040 --> 05:05.620
or 41 itself starts out in the amplified.

05:05.620 --> 05:09.420
It starts talking about the leviathan.

05:09.560 --> 05:11.980
It actually names it in the amplified, right?

05:12.240 --> 05:12.980
The water dragon.

05:13.500 --> 05:16.600
The way of thinking is another part of it.

05:17.360 --> 05:18.780
Now are there demons like this?

05:18.880 --> 05:20.280
Probably, but I don't care about that.

05:22.080 --> 05:23.880
I care more about the way of thinking

05:23.880 --> 05:26.480
because Jesus rendered the demonic realm.

05:27.080 --> 05:28.400
He rendered them powerless

05:29.060 --> 05:30.420
unless you think like them.

05:31.200 --> 05:33.300
That's what gives them the power to do something.

05:33.300 --> 05:36.020
So it's more important to change our thinking

05:36.520 --> 05:37.960
and our belief systems

05:37.960 --> 05:40.940
than it is to track demons and be a demon hunter.

05:42.420 --> 05:42.820
Amen?

05:43.380 --> 05:44.740
There's some stuff going on out there.

05:44.800 --> 05:46.340
I believe there's a wave of deliverance.

05:46.500 --> 05:48.000
Yes, that happens in every revival,

05:48.140 --> 05:49.460
before revivals and all that.

05:49.680 --> 05:50.380
I've been in it.

05:50.500 --> 05:51.420
I've had deliverance.

05:51.600 --> 05:52.660
I know all that.

05:52.840 --> 05:54.860
And I'm not saying any of it's not true.

05:55.200 --> 05:57.260
But the majority of your Christian life

05:57.260 --> 05:59.340
is living out of the basic foundations

06:00.220 --> 06:02.400
that he set out through salvation.

06:03.380 --> 06:05.420
The majority isn't demon hunting.

06:06.040 --> 06:08.880
So I thought I'd say that before we move on.

06:09.320 --> 06:11.620
And so this, without going into all of this,

06:11.760 --> 06:15.280
it's crazy how it describes this water dragon,

06:15.500 --> 06:16.280
this Leviathan.

06:16.800 --> 06:18.220
If you start in the first verse,

06:18.800 --> 06:19.520
it will start...

06:19.520 --> 06:20.320
Well, let's just go there.

06:20.460 --> 06:21.760
It'll start talking about it.

06:21.840 --> 06:22.800
I don't even want to read all of it

06:22.800 --> 06:25.060
because I feel like halfway given a glory.

06:25.340 --> 06:27.400
But where'd it go here?

06:27.960 --> 06:28.400
Forty.

06:30.020 --> 06:31.400
Oh, Jesus, you're good.

06:32.540 --> 06:33.640
You're so good.

06:34.100 --> 06:35.940
Even when my pages stick together.

06:36.660 --> 06:39.760
I chose to use this mic because I got big hair today.

06:40.160 --> 06:41.680
And so the other one doesn't work.

06:41.800 --> 06:42.420
It's a big hair day.

06:42.580 --> 06:43.400
You can't just...

06:44.020 --> 06:44.180
I've tried...

06:44.180 --> 06:45.280
Vern's tried to help me.

06:45.460 --> 06:46.540
He's pulling my hair.

06:46.660 --> 06:47.960
And it's all sticking out one side.

06:48.040 --> 06:48.960
So I got to use this mic.

06:49.600 --> 06:52.760
So then the Lord said to Job,

06:53.900 --> 06:56.320
Will the fault finder contend with the Almighty?

06:57.500 --> 06:59.060
And he goes on...

06:59.060 --> 06:59.660
Oh, that's 40.

07:00.060 --> 07:03.300
And he goes on and he talks about leading up to this.

07:03.360 --> 07:05.780
He talks about a stirring of strife.

07:05.900 --> 07:07.900
He talks about how this is happening.

07:08.260 --> 07:09.860
And then he goes into 41,

07:10.020 --> 07:10.920
chapter 41.

07:11.180 --> 07:13.420
Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook?

07:14.340 --> 07:16.300
Or press down his tongue with a cord?

07:16.700 --> 07:18.700
Can you put a rope made of his rushes

07:18.700 --> 07:21.160
into his nose or pierce his jaw through with a hook?

07:21.160 --> 07:22.940
It's going to go on and talk about,

07:23.100 --> 07:24.680
can you just go after him like this?

07:24.780 --> 07:25.960
Can you just go Leviathan?

07:26.400 --> 07:27.340
I get after you.

07:27.520 --> 07:28.780
I mean, can you do the heat?

07:29.060 --> 07:29.940
You can't.

07:30.620 --> 07:33.020
It says you don't handle that way of thinking

07:33.760 --> 07:35.420
just by like, I bind you.

07:36.780 --> 07:39.500
You have to change how your approach is

07:40.040 --> 07:41.280
between you and God.

07:41.600 --> 07:43.240
Because Leviathan's dealt with

07:43.240 --> 07:44.600
by the Lord rebuking him.

07:45.120 --> 07:46.960
I find that interesting when I looked

07:46.960 --> 07:48.200
all kinds of different things up

07:48.900 --> 07:50.620
regarding the Lord rebuking

07:50.620 --> 07:51.520
and things like that.

07:51.800 --> 07:54.060
Tithing just happened to talk about tithing

07:54.060 --> 07:54.820
before this.

07:55.260 --> 07:57.760
And how the Lord will rebuke different things.

07:58.300 --> 07:59.480
I can say, I'm a tither.

08:00.240 --> 08:01.600
And so then I can stand there knowing

08:01.600 --> 08:02.820
the Lord's going to rebuke that.

08:03.440 --> 08:04.600
Because what is tithing?

08:04.660 --> 08:05.000
The holy.

08:05.500 --> 08:06.140
What is tithing?

08:06.260 --> 08:07.780
But something where we're honoring him,

08:07.920 --> 08:10.420
where we are giving him what's already his,

08:10.840 --> 08:11.840
where we're being obedient.

08:12.260 --> 08:14.380
And it takes the bended knee to do that.

08:14.740 --> 08:16.700
You actually have to humble yourself to do that.

08:17.320 --> 08:18.960
So it puts you in a humble spot.

08:18.960 --> 08:22.200
Well, when it goes on, it describes Leviathan,

08:22.620 --> 08:23.720
verse five.

08:23.880 --> 08:25.880
Will you play with him as with a bird?

08:26.680 --> 08:29.360
Sometimes we put up with the way of thinking of this.

08:29.460 --> 08:32.180
We put up with how he messes with us,

08:32.280 --> 08:33.960
with the twisting of words and all that.

08:34.180 --> 08:35.500
We put up with it way too long.

08:35.780 --> 08:38.420
Or will you bind him and put him on a leash

08:38.420 --> 08:39.360
for your maidens?

08:39.620 --> 08:41.060
Will traitors bargain over him?

08:41.120 --> 08:42.860
Will they divide him up among merchants?

08:43.140 --> 08:45.220
Can you fill his skin with harpoons?

08:45.580 --> 08:47.040
It's like, what is it?

08:47.040 --> 08:48.340
He goes through his whole thing of saying,

08:48.380 --> 08:49.400
what is this you're going to do with him?

08:49.660 --> 08:53.360
What you're going to do when it's operating in your house?

08:54.140 --> 08:58.860
And so we get offended by the fact that things start going wrong,

08:59.120 --> 09:01.560
that there's arguments, we're offended with each other.

09:01.680 --> 09:02.860
This is what opens the door.

09:03.240 --> 09:07.140
And this way of thinking comes in and it says,

09:07.220 --> 09:07.900
I'm going to win.

09:08.500 --> 09:09.340
I'm the better.

09:10.280 --> 09:12.380
I'm the one who's the most.

09:13.200 --> 09:13.260
Right?

09:13.940 --> 09:15.580
By golly, I will be heard.

09:16.280 --> 09:19.040
And it causes this change in the atmosphere

09:19.040 --> 09:22.380
that says now suddenly you're ruling and God's not.

09:23.120 --> 09:25.780
If you ask the person though, what's going on right now,

09:25.840 --> 09:27.260
they never say, no, I'm in charge.

09:27.500 --> 09:29.180
God, we give, God is the one.

09:29.620 --> 09:31.700
But what's going on in the inside of a person

09:31.700 --> 09:33.640
who's suffering with this way of thinking,

09:33.660 --> 09:35.580
which we all have in certain areas,

09:35.920 --> 09:37.040
is I'm going to win.

09:37.180 --> 09:38.020
It's that uprising.

09:38.400 --> 09:40.860
So what Pastor Tonya talked about this morning in prayer

09:41.480 --> 09:43.180
is it's not about us.

09:43.960 --> 09:44.440
Right?

09:44.440 --> 09:46.720
So that was, you'll have to go back and listen to that.

09:47.020 --> 09:48.840
It's set it up just real perfect for this.

09:49.080 --> 09:52.360
He goes on and talks about the way this thing operates.

09:52.640 --> 09:54.280
And then verse 15 says,

09:54.400 --> 09:56.620
his strong scales are his pride,

09:57.200 --> 09:59.560
bound together as with a tight seal.

09:59.940 --> 10:01.900
And then you can read the rest of that chapter,

10:02.220 --> 10:03.800
but go down to verse 34.

10:04.560 --> 10:08.560
And he looks on everything that is high without terror.

10:10.280 --> 10:12.700
Has no use for authority,

10:12.700 --> 10:14.580
doesn't care about rules or whatever.

10:14.860 --> 10:15.520
I ain't scared of you.

10:15.980 --> 10:17.040
That's how it looks at you.

10:17.480 --> 10:20.040
That's how the demonic part of it looks at you.

10:20.740 --> 10:23.900
He is monarch over all the sons of pride.

10:24.180 --> 10:26.520
So another version says he rules.

10:27.100 --> 10:30.980
He's king over all the sons of pride.

10:31.800 --> 10:33.140
So what is opposite of humble?

10:34.700 --> 10:35.240
Pride.

10:35.760 --> 10:38.140
Pride comeeth before a fall.

10:38.860 --> 10:41.020
The reason to that I'm bringing this up

10:41.020 --> 10:43.240
is the Lord really wants to make it clear this morning.

10:43.740 --> 10:47.960
The difference between sifting and subjecting yourself to this.

10:48.820 --> 10:51.180
Sometimes we will get this going in our home

10:51.180 --> 10:53.240
and then you come in and you hear about sifting

10:53.800 --> 10:55.540
or there's a great change or whatever.

10:55.760 --> 10:57.300
It must be what's happening to me.

10:57.640 --> 10:58.720
No, you might need to repent.

11:00.280 --> 11:01.700
But we don't like to think down that.

11:01.820 --> 11:07.140
We like to think in an avenue that can't be me.

11:07.820 --> 11:10.040
When that thing is in the household, it's never us, right?

11:10.040 --> 11:12.020
When it's in the church, it's never us.

11:12.120 --> 11:16.720
And it's about me winning is how it sets itself up.

11:19.300 --> 11:21.280
So he is the king.

11:21.480 --> 11:24.940
It says he is the monarch over all the sons of pride.

11:26.860 --> 11:28.900
And then this is the feeling behind it.

11:29.000 --> 11:33.300
And now Job, who are you who does not dare to disturb the beast?

11:33.520 --> 11:36.260
Yet who dares resist me, the beast creator.

11:37.040 --> 11:38.620
Everything under the heaven is mine.

11:38.620 --> 11:41.320
Therefore, who can have a claim against God?

11:42.200 --> 11:44.740
So there's so many different angles I could go on that.

11:44.800 --> 11:50.160
But we're going to stay on this one track of the fact that he's over the pride.

11:50.760 --> 11:52.500
That's the demonic realm to begin with.

11:52.700 --> 11:57.260
They can't operate unless there's some separation from God.

11:57.700 --> 11:59.640
Pride separates us from God, doesn't it?

12:01.420 --> 12:02.660
Right? He'll work with us.

12:03.020 --> 12:06.000
But true pride will just keep tightening up and tightening up

12:06.000 --> 12:07.700
until you're finally like, I'm God here.

12:08.440 --> 12:09.580
Don't tell me what to do.

12:10.800 --> 12:12.200
And then you're in trouble, right?

12:12.660 --> 12:15.380
So he looks on everything that is high without terror.

12:15.760 --> 12:20.160
So when it gets on a person, they have no fear of authority.

12:20.940 --> 12:23.020
They don't care what systems are set up.

12:23.140 --> 12:23.940
They don't care about anything.

12:24.440 --> 12:24.920
They know.

12:25.720 --> 12:26.760
I'm afraid of none of this.

12:26.900 --> 12:28.520
That's what happens when it gets on a person.

12:29.260 --> 12:29.460
Amen?

12:30.500 --> 12:32.400
And so then,

12:33.180 --> 12:36.620
and then it'll give you the feeling almost like Jezebel

12:37.760 --> 12:39.820
gives you the feeling like you should run.

12:40.440 --> 12:42.060
Like you should not disturb this.

12:42.200 --> 12:43.580
We do not to confront this.

12:43.700 --> 12:45.660
We do not want to call a person on something.

12:45.820 --> 12:48.420
I don't want to have to deal with my own heart on this.

12:48.780 --> 12:49.580
I'm scared of me.

12:50.880 --> 12:52.100
It'll come down to that.

12:52.700 --> 12:53.400
You'll be scared.

12:53.660 --> 12:55.560
If there's something going on in your heart,

12:55.660 --> 12:56.780
that's like, I can't touch that.

12:56.780 --> 12:57.980
I spoke in the bear.

12:58.420 --> 13:00.060
And if you route that up in me,

13:00.160 --> 13:01.980
like I have so many people over the years

13:02.680 --> 13:04.040
tell me they've got a lot of trauma

13:04.040 --> 13:05.060
or different things like that.

13:05.100 --> 13:07.220
And this is the way they say it when we go to deal with it.

13:07.280 --> 13:09.840
They say, you don't want to open that can of demons.

13:11.260 --> 13:12.920
And I'm like, yes, actually I do.

13:13.480 --> 13:14.680
I want to come to counseling.

13:15.080 --> 13:16.420
If we're not going to look, what's in there?

13:17.160 --> 13:18.040
I'm like, what is that in there?

13:18.600 --> 13:18.920
Right?

13:19.380 --> 13:20.980
And so we got to take a little peek-a-roo

13:20.980 --> 13:22.080
and see what's in there.

13:23.460 --> 13:24.760
So you ever go to counseling

13:25.140 --> 13:26.700
or just go get advice

13:27.200 --> 13:28.700
and you're like, that's it.

13:28.880 --> 13:30.020
I'm going to go talk to somebody.

13:30.300 --> 13:32.120
And then you hold the majority of it here

13:32.120 --> 13:33.660
because you don't want the other person to know that

13:33.660 --> 13:34.840
and just give them little tidbits.

13:35.060 --> 13:36.660
And they're supposed to be so discerning

13:37.260 --> 13:38.940
that they're like, the Lord has said,

13:39.040 --> 13:40.020
you know, all this stuff.

13:40.240 --> 13:42.720
And because you're in a spot where you're like,

13:42.800 --> 13:43.540
I want to deal with it,

13:43.540 --> 13:44.720
but I don't really want to deal with it.

13:48.160 --> 13:49.780
You know what I love about people

13:49.780 --> 13:51.360
who have entered recovery

13:51.840 --> 13:54.620
from drugs, alcohol, anything of addiction or whatever?

13:54.620 --> 13:55.880
They get brutally honest.

13:57.340 --> 13:57.960
I love it.

13:58.080 --> 13:59.060
They'll just walk in and be like,

13:59.200 --> 14:00.360
I used last night, screwed up.

14:00.500 --> 14:01.020
I don't know what to do.

14:01.260 --> 14:01.620
What do we do?

14:02.900 --> 14:04.700
People aren't used to that kind of thing.

14:04.840 --> 14:06.660
They'll be like, oh, I'm just being bothered

14:06.660 --> 14:07.860
by something right now.

14:07.900 --> 14:10.720
You got this whole storm going on the inside of you.

14:11.040 --> 14:13.060
And then you're leaning in to see if they'll give you

14:13.060 --> 14:15.040
some kind of, you know, big piece of bread

14:15.040 --> 14:15.740
on the issue.

14:16.060 --> 14:17.860
And I didn't get any help there.

14:17.940 --> 14:19.420
We didn't actually disclose anything.

14:20.200 --> 14:21.520
Confess your sins one to another

14:21.520 --> 14:22.200
and you'll be healed.

14:24.720 --> 14:26.420
That's a foundational principle.

14:26.800 --> 14:28.280
Do I go say everything to everybody?

14:28.640 --> 14:28.800
No.

14:29.900 --> 14:31.300
I don't just announce it like,

14:31.440 --> 14:32.580
I'm gonna announce my sin this morning.

14:32.780 --> 14:34.080
No, I don't do that.

14:34.320 --> 14:36.220
But I confess up to God

14:36.220 --> 14:38.140
and I'll go to my husband

14:38.140 --> 14:40.420
or I'll say out loud in front of some people

14:40.420 --> 14:42.380
that I know can hold me accountable.

14:42.840 --> 14:44.320
Hey, I'm still jacked up in this area.

14:44.500 --> 14:45.100
Can you pray for me?

14:46.280 --> 14:47.720
But you call a spade a spade.

14:48.460 --> 14:50.340
What this thing does, though,

14:51.060 --> 14:53.500
is it makes you afraid of yourself

14:54.540 --> 14:56.340
and afraid of losing position

14:56.340 --> 14:58.840
and afraid of someone's gonna know

14:58.840 --> 15:00.440
and afraid you're not gonna be loved

15:00.440 --> 15:02.920
and then it's one of those things

15:02.920 --> 15:04.860
is like, well, are we gonna mess with that?

15:04.960 --> 15:05.960
You don't wanna poke the bear.

15:06.480 --> 15:07.400
Just leave it alone.

15:09.580 --> 15:11.380
Kind of like sitting at a restaurant

15:11.380 --> 15:13.800
and watching a couple that's been married

15:13.800 --> 15:16.340
for 50 years and she don't talk much

15:16.340 --> 15:17.700
because she knows she says something

15:17.700 --> 15:18.720
that's gonna aggravate him

15:18.720 --> 15:20.480
and he don't talk much because it's gonna be...

15:20.480 --> 15:21.580
because they've learned to, like,

15:21.580 --> 15:22.920
we just ain't dealing with it.

15:25.950 --> 15:27.390
But they went out to eat.

15:28.590 --> 15:28.870
Right?

15:29.730 --> 15:31.170
Oh, I do spend time with you.

15:31.230 --> 15:32.930
You went out to eat and nobody said nothing

15:32.930 --> 15:35.510
because you've lost the ability to communicate.

15:36.870 --> 15:38.370
Nobody's willing to humble themselves.

15:39.870 --> 15:42.850
And that's an open door to this thing.

15:43.130 --> 15:44.130
So sewing division,

15:45.310 --> 15:46.850
strife, twisting words,

15:47.530 --> 15:49.390
spiritual pride is huge, huge,

15:49.670 --> 15:51.110
and it targets relationships.

15:51.110 --> 15:51.850
Ooh.

15:53.470 --> 15:55.470
This way of thinking is already there.

15:55.710 --> 15:57.890
The demonic realm tracks to your way of thinking,

15:57.910 --> 15:59.150
and it lights it up.

16:00.430 --> 16:01.950
See, we like to think like victims,

16:02.230 --> 16:03.490
like, I was just walking along

16:03.990 --> 16:05.670
and Leviathan just bit me in the back

16:05.670 --> 16:07.850
and I was like, oh, I'm under attack.

16:08.210 --> 16:08.770
No, no, no.

16:09.090 --> 16:10.710
It's the same thing with the devil.

16:11.050 --> 16:11.870
He's not omnipresent.

16:11.970 --> 16:13.030
We've gone over that before.

16:13.750 --> 16:15.890
Him and Santa Claus are not omnipresent.

16:15.990 --> 16:17.250
So let's just settle that right now.

16:17.530 --> 16:19.250
He can't be everywhere at the same time.

16:20.230 --> 16:22.990
And so, you know, people are under attack all the time.

16:23.050 --> 16:24.950
He's not all over that like white on rice,

16:25.010 --> 16:28.210
but they will attract to your belief system

16:28.750 --> 16:31.370
and what's going on already at currently in you,

16:31.570 --> 16:32.870
especially if it's generational.

16:33.610 --> 16:34.950
They already know, like, yeah,

16:35.010 --> 16:36.870
we got that to go to the next generation.

16:37.330 --> 16:38.570
I'll see what we do with that.

16:39.310 --> 16:40.490
See how they handle it.

16:41.130 --> 16:43.010
And if nobody steps up and says,

16:43.030 --> 16:45.130
that's the end of this, we're not doing this again.

16:45.250 --> 16:46.950
I'm not passing this on to my kids.

16:46.950 --> 16:48.010
We're not going there.

16:49.170 --> 16:52.190
It'll pass on and it just keeps snowballing.

16:52.770 --> 16:54.830
But there's a feeling of like,

16:55.170 --> 16:56.730
oh, I got to confront a situation.

16:56.990 --> 16:58.610
I got to call a spade a spade.

16:58.770 --> 17:00.070
I got to say, I don't like this.

17:00.190 --> 17:00.990
I have to have a boundary.

17:01.530 --> 17:02.630
We'll just wait a little more.

17:03.570 --> 17:04.770
We'll just wait a little more time.

17:05.370 --> 17:06.410
Let's just give it time.

17:06.990 --> 17:08.570
Time heals all things.

17:10.170 --> 17:11.210
Does it say that in the word?

17:13.070 --> 17:14.830
We'll almost say it like it is scripture.

17:14.830 --> 17:16.730
Time will just heal all things.

17:17.250 --> 17:18.810
Time can destroy all things too.

17:19.450 --> 17:21.210
It's the heart that comes up

17:21.210 --> 17:22.450
and gets something done

17:23.230 --> 17:24.210
or doesn't.

17:24.350 --> 17:25.830
And it all comes by choices.

17:26.870 --> 17:28.070
So it targets relationships,

17:28.290 --> 17:29.890
creates chaos and communication,

17:30.170 --> 17:32.790
works alongside of the spirit of offense.

17:33.510 --> 17:34.830
So we got to get offense going.

17:35.270 --> 17:36.870
The way of thinking of offense is like,

17:36.930 --> 17:37.510
I've been hurt

17:38.110 --> 17:39.670
and I'm done being hurt.

17:39.850 --> 17:41.770
So stay out of my space.

17:42.990 --> 17:45.550
And then that's when we become plastic, don't we?

17:46.450 --> 17:48.010
That's when you put on the plastic thing

17:48.010 --> 17:50.030
of like, hi, oh my gosh, I love you.

17:50.870 --> 17:51.490
Stay out of here.

17:52.050 --> 17:53.750
Because if you get close to that,

17:53.930 --> 17:54.890
inside of that,

17:55.050 --> 17:56.830
is where we end up getting hurt

17:56.830 --> 17:58.030
and so we already know that.

17:58.250 --> 17:59.770
And so we're easily offended.

17:59.950 --> 18:01.730
We're looking and we'll just scan people.

18:02.430 --> 18:03.450
She'll probably hurt me.

18:03.910 --> 18:05.350
I saw how he looked at me.

18:06.070 --> 18:07.770
And then we make judgments

18:07.770 --> 18:09.550
according to our fear.

18:11.110 --> 18:13.270
And we're afraid of being offended.

18:13.990 --> 18:15.530
So then we don't trust.

18:16.490 --> 18:18.670
And trust is such a big part of faith.

18:21.210 --> 18:22.710
Unbelief is built in fear

18:22.710 --> 18:23.750
and pulling back.

18:23.910 --> 18:25.750
I can't believe that I'm not going to participate in that.

18:25.990 --> 18:27.070
Let's build a fort around me.

18:28.730 --> 18:29.110
Right?

18:29.970 --> 18:32.130
And then we just keep adding bricks to that.

18:32.550 --> 18:33.750
You know, getting workers in there

18:33.750 --> 18:35.750
because we're going to, you know, protect ourselves.

18:36.350 --> 18:37.270
And you'll get hurt anyway.

18:37.770 --> 18:38.970
Because you're looking to be hurt.

18:39.530 --> 18:41.710
You're looking so hard for hurt, you're going to get hurt.

18:45.460 --> 18:45.820
Yeah.

18:46.860 --> 18:48.700
Sometimes people say the cruelest things to me,

18:48.840 --> 18:50.520
but I many times don't even know they're cruel.

18:51.120 --> 18:52.240
Because I'm not looking to get hurt.

18:52.680 --> 18:55.120
I'm just like, wow, that was kind of a silly thing for you to say.

18:56.300 --> 18:58.000
Wonder what's going on inside of you.

18:59.180 --> 19:00.180
So there's a difference.

19:00.340 --> 19:02.100
That's why people, you know, will say,

19:02.220 --> 19:03.380
I don't know if I can tell you this.

19:03.520 --> 19:04.920
I don't shock and awe easy.

19:05.340 --> 19:06.180
I'm not perfect.

19:06.560 --> 19:08.560
But you could tell me some pretty ranked stuff

19:08.560 --> 19:10.860
and I'm just going to be like, OK, so what are we going to do?

19:13.720 --> 19:14.940
It comes to that.

19:15.280 --> 19:16.640
But if I was looking to be offended,

19:16.820 --> 19:18.440
everything would be the inward breath.

19:20.380 --> 19:20.760
Right?

19:21.580 --> 19:22.620
And it's not God.

19:22.720 --> 19:23.460
That's the fear breath.

19:24.820 --> 19:26.340
And you take that in.

19:26.540 --> 19:27.880
And then this causes problems.

19:28.800 --> 19:30.120
So the fifth one says,

19:30.260 --> 19:32.140
intimidate through words and actions

19:32.140 --> 19:34.080
and create the feelings of the problem

19:34.080 --> 19:35.500
being too big to solve.

19:35.580 --> 19:37.860
Anybody ever suffer that at the workplace

19:37.860 --> 19:40.180
in every meeting, whatever, it's just like,

19:40.260 --> 19:41.620
I don't know what we're going to do.

19:43.120 --> 19:44.580
And we get hung up on the,

19:44.720 --> 19:46.040
I don't know what we're going to do

19:46.040 --> 19:47.100
and it just hangs there.

19:47.960 --> 19:49.080
Because we keep announcing

19:49.080 --> 19:50.560
that we don't know what we're going to do.

19:51.140 --> 19:52.380
Last night I gave an example.

19:52.560 --> 19:53.240
Some of you were there.

19:53.560 --> 19:55.160
I gave an example because I saw this online

19:55.160 --> 19:56.540
of an escalator.

19:57.300 --> 19:58.920
And two people were on the escalator.

19:59.300 --> 20:01.420
A man and a woman as they're going up the escalator

20:01.420 --> 20:02.500
and they're in this big mall.

20:02.600 --> 20:03.860
All of a sudden it shuts off

20:04.540 --> 20:06.600
and they start screaming around the escalator.

20:07.560 --> 20:08.280
Anybody come?

20:08.840 --> 20:09.720
Are we going to get off this?

20:09.860 --> 20:10.500
I don't know what to do.

20:10.600 --> 20:11.760
Why aren't people helping us?

20:11.820 --> 20:13.880
And they go absolute victim mode

20:14.580 --> 20:15.960
when all they have to do is like,

20:16.320 --> 20:17.600
walk off the escalator.

20:18.340 --> 20:19.800
But they don't know that

20:19.800 --> 20:21.640
because they're captivated

20:21.640 --> 20:23.820
while they're there in the victim's way of thinking.

20:25.900 --> 20:27.200
If you're easily offended,

20:27.640 --> 20:29.320
you'll have the victim's way of thinking.

20:29.620 --> 20:31.160
And when you feel like a victim,

20:31.680 --> 20:32.880
everything else is a bully.

20:33.860 --> 20:35.440
And so then you won't be able to hear.

20:35.440 --> 20:37.620
If you can't hear what I'm saying

20:37.620 --> 20:39.080
because everything that I say,

20:39.140 --> 20:40.480
even when I'm trying to help,

20:40.900 --> 20:43.440
you get offended by...

20:44.480 --> 20:45.880
Now, Pastor Igor gets up.

20:46.020 --> 20:47.100
Let's say you're going through all that.

20:47.220 --> 20:48.280
And he gets up and is like,

20:48.340 --> 20:49.400
we're going to humble ourselves.

20:49.680 --> 20:50.560
Let's learn what that is.

20:54.040 --> 20:54.840
Another message.

20:55.180 --> 20:56.760
And we're always having to do stuff.

20:57.960 --> 20:59.300
It'll do that in your flesh.

21:00.260 --> 21:02.060
Because how do you protect yourself

21:02.060 --> 21:03.940
against something

21:03.940 --> 21:05.360
if you're easily offended

21:05.940 --> 21:08.340
that actually is something that will help you

21:08.340 --> 21:10.380
that you have to make a choice to do?

21:11.340 --> 21:13.140
And it's requiring trust.

21:15.960 --> 21:18.300
That's where plastic Christianity comes in.

21:18.400 --> 21:19.140
You put on the mask.

21:19.480 --> 21:21.980
Plastic people have plastic success.

21:23.060 --> 21:25.400
Real people have real success.

21:26.460 --> 21:27.820
And so, here we are.

21:28.060 --> 21:30.000
It creates this chaos in communication,

21:30.320 --> 21:32.540
works alongside the spirits of offense,

21:32.540 --> 21:34.420
intimidates through words and actions,

21:34.620 --> 21:36.120
and creates the feeling of the problem.

21:36.320 --> 21:38.740
Being way too big. This is so big.

21:38.960 --> 21:40.960
I'm never going to be able to talk to them about it.

21:40.980 --> 21:42.300
I don't think I'll ever be able to share.

21:42.640 --> 21:43.980
You know what? Because we're so afraid

21:43.980 --> 21:45.680
that wound is so fresh in us

21:45.680 --> 21:47.300
that if you go to solve it

21:47.300 --> 21:48.220
and they say something else,

21:48.220 --> 21:49.440
you'll think you're going to die.

21:50.940 --> 21:52.500
You've already cried so hard about this,

21:52.540 --> 21:53.440
been so mad about it,

21:53.700 --> 21:55.360
that it's like, I don't talk about it.

21:56.500 --> 21:59.480
Well, now we're open to this next phase

21:59.480 --> 22:01.160
of how the demonic works.

22:01.680 --> 22:03.380
This thing that actually

22:04.080 --> 22:05.820
runs the sons of pride.

22:06.880 --> 22:08.900
Because when we feel so much shame,

22:09.640 --> 22:11.780
the only the opposite of that proverb says

22:11.780 --> 22:13.400
that first comes pride,

22:13.460 --> 22:15.120
then you fall off of that and you hit shame

22:15.120 --> 22:16.360
and you face plant.

22:16.780 --> 22:17.720
This is my version.

22:18.480 --> 22:20.100
And so, when you face plant,

22:20.560 --> 22:22.280
then you have to, the harder you face plant,

22:22.340 --> 22:25.100
the more you're going to have to lift yourself up

22:25.980 --> 22:27.720
to get out of that feeling of shame.

22:29.400 --> 22:31.800
So we do all kinds of things in the natural

22:31.800 --> 22:34.580
to try to protect ourselves and lift ourselves up

22:34.580 --> 22:36.800
or brag about ourselves or say different things,

22:36.980 --> 22:38.360
try to get the last word in.

22:38.440 --> 22:41.500
All of that is us lifting ourselves up.

22:43.020 --> 22:44.180
And when we do that,

22:44.400 --> 22:45.360
now we're back in pride,

22:45.480 --> 22:47.160
which is going to face plant you eventually.

22:47.780 --> 22:49.840
Who in the world wants to go through that yo-yo?

22:51.220 --> 22:53.280
I face planted too many times in my life.

22:53.520 --> 22:54.620
I already have a broken nose.

22:54.740 --> 22:55.760
I don't want to do it again.

22:56.700 --> 22:58.160
So, just saying.

22:58.680 --> 22:59.580
An enemy that is,

22:59.760 --> 23:00.800
then we goes on and says,

23:00.940 --> 23:02.680
attacks the mind, causes fear.

23:03.340 --> 23:06.000
The fleeing spirit thinks the worst of others.

23:06.600 --> 23:08.180
I have to think the worst of others

23:08.180 --> 23:09.620
if I'm underneath this,

23:09.980 --> 23:11.800
if I have a fence, if I have fear,

23:12.240 --> 23:13.140
if I have pride.

23:13.300 --> 23:14.860
See, all these things start to mix together.

23:15.820 --> 23:17.400
I have to think the worst of others

23:17.400 --> 23:19.380
because otherwise how will I protect myself?

23:22.020 --> 23:23.740
If I find out you told me stuff

23:23.740 --> 23:24.980
and now that wasn't really true,

23:24.980 --> 23:26.180
see, I didn't protect myself.

23:26.460 --> 23:27.620
So, I should have thought

23:27.620 --> 23:29.260
that you were a jerk to begin with.

23:30.420 --> 23:31.940
Then I would be okay right now.

23:33.340 --> 23:34.940
If I would have just allowed myself

23:34.940 --> 23:36.360
to just put that out there,

23:36.600 --> 23:37.640
and then when you do that,

23:37.680 --> 23:38.280
what you're doing is,

23:38.340 --> 23:39.540
I don't trust you, I don't trust you,

23:39.560 --> 23:40.740
I don't like you, I don't, whatever.

23:41.020 --> 23:42.520
Then someone, you're waiting for someone

23:42.520 --> 23:43.900
so amazing to come along

23:44.320 --> 23:45.960
and present themselves in a way

23:45.960 --> 23:47.700
that you're like, now that I can trust.

23:48.560 --> 23:49.320
Who is that person?

23:50.720 --> 23:52.400
After a while, really, who is that person?

23:54.980 --> 23:56.180
Everyone can break trust.

23:57.660 --> 23:59.880
I'm capable of saying some pretty stupid things.

24:00.140 --> 24:03.340
But I'm hoping that we're all growing together

24:03.340 --> 24:05.460
in a way that if I do say a stupid thing,

24:05.500 --> 24:06.540
you're not automatically offended.

24:08.780 --> 24:10.300
So, what ends up happening

24:10.300 --> 24:12.420
is we go through this

24:12.420 --> 24:15.260
and we're looking for things to go wrong

24:15.260 --> 24:17.300
more than we're looking for things to go good.

24:18.660 --> 24:20.240
And there's a responsibility.

24:20.540 --> 24:21.680
Now, remember the word responsibility

24:21.680 --> 24:23.880
means you're going to respond with your ability

24:23.880 --> 24:24.940
and when you go to respond,

24:25.280 --> 24:26.680
if there's not much ability there,

24:26.740 --> 24:27.920
then you know what you need to work on.

24:30.020 --> 24:31.260
Like if you're in a situation

24:31.260 --> 24:33.300
and you need a boundary and you're like reaching for it

24:33.300 --> 24:34.100
and there's nothing there,

24:34.560 --> 24:37.940
well, how can you respond with that low level of ability?

24:38.100 --> 24:39.260
You're going to have to figure out

24:39.260 --> 24:40.760
what a correct boundary is.

24:41.300 --> 24:42.560
And then you take that on

24:42.560 --> 24:44.660
and then you can respond with that ability.

24:45.140 --> 24:46.120
It's your responsibility.

24:46.820 --> 24:48.960
When we look at things like a victim

24:48.960 --> 24:51.320
or we're looking into it in a way

24:52.020 --> 24:53.760
that is everybody else's fault

24:53.760 --> 24:55.360
or I'm just going to get hurt again,

24:55.560 --> 24:56.720
then we do turn around

24:57.400 --> 24:59.880
and not want to be responsible for anything.

25:02.420 --> 25:04.400
Right? Which makes us more afraid.

25:04.660 --> 25:06.120
Which makes us feel more like a victim

25:06.120 --> 25:07.920
and it will capsulize you

25:07.920 --> 25:10.000
till we become fake Christians.

25:10.360 --> 25:12.120
But I believe that there's not

25:12.120 --> 25:13.860
a whole lot of fake Christians here.

25:14.540 --> 25:16.620
I think we've been working on this project for a bit.

25:18.380 --> 25:20.200
So, but it takes a check.

25:20.200 --> 25:21.960
It takes this to come on.

25:22.200 --> 25:23.820
Because if you go to enter

25:23.820 --> 25:25.380
something that's opposite

25:26.220 --> 25:28.300
of pride in everything the Leviathan

25:28.300 --> 25:29.660
was just described as

25:30.800 --> 25:32.340
the only way you can conquer it

25:32.340 --> 25:34.100
is you have to do the opposite of how it operates.

25:35.080 --> 25:36.600
The only way you can do the opposite

25:36.600 --> 25:38.840
of how it operates is humble yourself.

25:40.540 --> 25:42.680
It actually describes it in such a way

25:42.680 --> 25:43.520
like what you're going to do.

25:43.620 --> 25:44.820
Put a fish hook in its nose.

25:46.040 --> 25:47.120
What you're going to do.

25:47.120 --> 25:48.540
Because the truth of this,

25:48.700 --> 25:51.220
we don't have what it takes to do anything against it.

25:52.260 --> 25:55.040
The only way that you conquer this way of thinking

25:55.040 --> 25:56.980
is humbling yourself before the Lord.

25:57.360 --> 25:59.440
And then if there's lifting up, he's going to do that.

26:00.440 --> 26:01.580
That's his promise to us.

26:02.060 --> 26:03.420
Humble yourself on the side of the Lord

26:03.420 --> 26:04.960
and I will lift you up.

26:05.080 --> 26:06.260
So then we go into humble

26:06.260 --> 26:09.460
and I don't want to preach on that this morning,

26:09.480 --> 26:11.720
but I do know a lot of people are asking questions

26:11.720 --> 26:14.340
and have over the years what does humble look like.

26:14.340 --> 26:16.500
I find it interesting that we use the phrase

26:16.500 --> 26:18.780
look like because, you know,

26:18.920 --> 26:20.860
I've said this before, is it like when you pray

26:20.860 --> 26:22.820
or you're like, and that's humble?

26:23.240 --> 26:24.980
Are you kneeling and that's humble?

26:25.220 --> 26:27.500
Like we're trying to figure out how it looks like

26:27.500 --> 26:28.860
when it comes from the heart.

26:30.020 --> 26:31.340
You could just be standing here

26:31.340 --> 26:32.360
not saying anything at all

26:32.360 --> 26:34.140
and you're humbled before the Lord.

26:34.460 --> 26:36.120
Because it's something of the heart.

26:36.420 --> 26:38.160
It's not an action you take,

26:38.200 --> 26:40.120
but it will produce actions.

26:40.840 --> 26:43.280
But sometimes we'll start with trying to do actions

26:43.280 --> 26:44.660
and hope that our heart changes.

26:45.660 --> 26:47.200
And okay, you know,

26:47.280 --> 26:48.360
make that effort or whatever.

26:48.780 --> 26:52.420
But if we are looking to run

26:52.420 --> 26:53.740
from this way of thinking,

26:53.900 --> 26:55.760
we're afraid of the strife in our home.

26:56.180 --> 26:58.120
We're afraid that we heard something

26:58.120 --> 26:59.420
and somebody said something

26:59.420 --> 27:01.160
and now I can't trust this person

27:01.160 --> 27:02.260
or whatever,

27:04.320 --> 27:06.200
we're going to have that runner feeling.

27:07.240 --> 27:09.000
At TBO I always say we got a runner

27:09.000 --> 27:11.120
because sometimes people literally get up

27:11.120 --> 27:12.040
and just leave the service.

27:13.680 --> 27:14.280
They do.

27:15.400 --> 27:16.840
Because it gets hot.

27:17.640 --> 27:19.460
I don't say that over the mic always,

27:19.680 --> 27:21.960
but I do say it when I'm talking to people.

27:22.180 --> 27:23.600
We had a runner tonight or whatever.

27:24.100 --> 27:27.300
Because there's something where this way of thinking

27:27.300 --> 27:29.100
attacks the mind, causes fear.

27:29.560 --> 27:31.820
It causes that feeling like you have to flee

27:31.820 --> 27:33.500
and it thinks the worst of others.

27:33.760 --> 27:35.980
Likes to work in secret? No.

27:39.240 --> 27:40.220
Do you know,

27:40.220 --> 27:42.740
have you noticed that I'm kind of like

27:42.740 --> 27:43.920
bringing into the light person?

27:44.400 --> 27:45.960
Part of that is I'm an evangelist.

27:46.040 --> 27:49.000
You can't evangelize by staying in the dark

27:49.000 --> 27:51.160
and then offering crumbs to somebody

27:51.160 --> 27:52.200
and they're going to come to Christ.

27:53.420 --> 27:55.480
No. You bring things into the light.

27:56.900 --> 27:58.960
But all of us need to know

27:58.960 --> 28:00.100
how to bring things into the light

28:00.100 --> 28:02.380
and what hates the light, but darkness.

28:03.600 --> 28:04.640
So where you already know,

28:04.920 --> 28:06.980
that's something that needs to happen.

28:07.480 --> 28:08.380
Gossip, etc.

28:08.380 --> 28:11.600
It's as you know, things like that

28:11.600 --> 28:13.680
are never done like you pick up the mic.

28:13.920 --> 28:15.420
Hey, I'm going to talk about so and so right now.

28:15.840 --> 28:17.800
No. It's always like, come here, you know.

28:18.200 --> 28:19.740
Hey, did you hear?

28:20.700 --> 28:22.660
Is that true? Blah, blah, blah.

28:24.040 --> 28:25.720
And the reason it's done

28:25.720 --> 28:27.820
is because we're once again putting those

28:27.820 --> 28:29.140
feelers out there

28:29.780 --> 28:31.600
of how we don't want to get hurt

28:31.600 --> 28:33.000
or be left behind

28:33.960 --> 28:35.360
or be not important

28:35.360 --> 28:37.780
or be whatever the conversation's about.

28:38.180 --> 28:39.440
And we're protecting ourselves.

28:42.000 --> 28:43.580
It's not a humble action, is it?

28:44.160 --> 28:46.660
So if we know there's some of these things that are going on,

28:46.680 --> 28:48.100
I think there's some of these things going on,

28:48.180 --> 28:49.060
because human nature,

28:50.460 --> 28:53.760
we don't want to be attracting that demonic thing, though.

28:55.360 --> 28:57.500
So the only way it can attract to us

28:57.500 --> 28:59.560
is in our own heart, in our own thinking.

29:02.060 --> 29:03.280
That's why people will tell me,

29:03.400 --> 29:04.920
it's like I'm wearing a sign on my forehead

29:04.920 --> 29:06.200
that says come abuse me

29:06.700 --> 29:09.040
or hit me in the face or something like that.

29:09.700 --> 29:12.240
Okay, so then let's all get alongside of that person

29:12.240 --> 29:13.640
because we're not going to let anybody hurt you.

29:13.720 --> 29:14.660
That doesn't work that way.

29:15.100 --> 29:17.160
The only thing that you can change is you.

29:19.000 --> 29:20.900
You're the one who takes the sign off your forehead.

29:21.040 --> 29:22.440
You're the one who makes a different announcement.

29:22.620 --> 29:23.780
You're the one who has better boundaries.

29:24.080 --> 29:25.840
You're the one who steps it up.

29:27.900 --> 29:29.480
But the fear that's there

29:29.480 --> 29:31.060
many times keeps us paralyzed

29:31.060 --> 29:33.320
and that's still the way of Leviathan.

29:33.320 --> 29:35.720
It is that like, oh, this thing is so big.

29:35.840 --> 29:36.840
How are you going to catch it?

29:36.880 --> 29:37.940
What are you going to do with it?

29:38.440 --> 29:40.060
And it sets itself up

29:40.060 --> 29:42.040
with the feeling like you should flee.

29:42.520 --> 29:45.160
Many times this is why people leave churches incorrectly.

29:45.780 --> 29:47.040
Now you can leave a church, you know?

29:48.020 --> 29:49.760
This isn't like Pastor and I are like,

29:49.820 --> 29:51.300
we have you, you know?

29:51.660 --> 29:52.420
Lock the doors.

29:52.840 --> 29:53.840
You can leave a church.

29:53.980 --> 29:54.680
He's got a little booklet

29:54.680 --> 29:56.320
on how to properly leave the church

29:56.320 --> 29:59.600
because sometimes you leave in a huff, you know?

30:00.280 --> 30:01.500
That's not a proper way to leave.

30:01.500 --> 30:03.200
You leave with something unresolved?

30:03.480 --> 30:04.280
Shouldn't have done that.

30:05.880 --> 30:07.340
You know, there needs to be something

30:07.340 --> 30:10.400
but there is a fear that if we go to deal with it

30:10.400 --> 30:12.000
that thing's going to hurt us more.

30:12.680 --> 30:15.060
And so if you get like a

30:16.240 --> 30:17.400
Leviathan way of thinking

30:17.400 --> 30:18.460
and I'm just using that

30:18.460 --> 30:19.560
not to focus on a demon

30:19.560 --> 30:21.420
but to focus on the characteristics

30:21.420 --> 30:22.600
of how this thing operates

30:22.600 --> 30:24.440
and you get it in leadership

30:25.020 --> 30:26.240
people get hurt.

30:27.900 --> 30:29.280
How many of you have been through that

30:29.280 --> 30:30.740
and you know what I'm talking about?

30:30.740 --> 30:32.440
You're like, I had to run from that place.

30:32.920 --> 30:33.780
I had to get out.

30:37.400 --> 30:38.840
Well, if you had to get out

30:38.840 --> 30:40.420
that's one thing, but I think

30:40.420 --> 30:42.720
I think I still would go confront something.

30:44.760 --> 30:46.620
For my own sake, I'd say, you know, I'm leaving

30:46.620 --> 30:48.000
and I need you to know this

30:48.000 --> 30:48.720
and this is why.

30:50.960 --> 30:53.040
Because it isn't just like we've chosen

30:53.040 --> 30:53.960
to do things here.

30:54.080 --> 30:55.940
This is the authority structure

30:55.940 --> 30:56.740
and all those things.

30:56.820 --> 30:58.120
We need to learn how to humble ourselves

30:58.120 --> 30:58.980
and come under that.

30:59.460 --> 31:01.540
But it's like a gaining of power.

31:01.860 --> 31:04.360
It's like a thing where I'm going to use you.

31:04.500 --> 31:07.380
It's like a syrupy, kind of sick, sloppy,

31:07.620 --> 31:09.660
a copy that starts coming off the leadership

31:09.660 --> 31:11.220
and it tries to get on you

31:11.220 --> 31:12.480
and you're like, get off me.

31:13.420 --> 31:14.760
Or get on the people

31:14.760 --> 31:16.780
and they'll try to bring it this way.

31:17.900 --> 31:19.520
And it's all about hierarchy

31:19.520 --> 31:21.020
and who's going to be important

31:21.020 --> 31:22.360
and you're like, no, no, no, stop that.

31:23.100 --> 31:25.000
If you're a person who knows

31:25.000 --> 31:27.200
how to confront that in a very loving way.

31:27.620 --> 31:29.260
Ooh, this thing, if it's there,

31:29.440 --> 31:31.480
it'll twist everything you say.

31:32.480 --> 31:33.640
Been there many times.

31:35.140 --> 31:36.620
Just was there last night with somebody.

31:38.960 --> 31:40.220
They couldn't even hear

31:40.860 --> 31:41.680
what I was saying.

31:41.800 --> 31:42.560
I said very little.

31:43.360 --> 31:45.060
Because they were busy machine gunning

31:45.060 --> 31:46.040
to protect themselves.

31:47.540 --> 31:48.740
And then when they were all done,

31:48.820 --> 31:49.620
it's like, you all done?

31:50.160 --> 31:50.500
Okay.

31:51.300 --> 31:52.420
I need you to hear me.

31:54.960 --> 31:56.280
And then it was totally

31:56.280 --> 31:56.960
a misunderstanding.

31:57.380 --> 31:58.700
Totally, but it was a spirit.

31:59.300 --> 32:01.860
I wasn't offended because I knew it was a spirit.

32:02.360 --> 32:03.880
I felt this thing before.

32:04.380 --> 32:06.400
And it's there to kill, steal, and destroy.

32:06.600 --> 32:08.520
It's there to remove you

32:08.520 --> 32:10.520
from something you're supposed to be a part of.

32:12.160 --> 32:12.480
Okay?

32:13.380 --> 32:15.260
So it likes to work and secret,

32:15.260 --> 32:16.640
likes to gossip.

32:16.960 --> 32:19.040
And it can affect an entire region.

32:19.740 --> 32:21.740
So what's really sad is our government

32:21.740 --> 32:23.080
is covered in it.

32:24.360 --> 32:25.760
It's covered in it.

32:25.760 --> 32:26.940
There's deceit.

32:27.060 --> 32:27.300
There's all.

32:27.440 --> 32:28.740
And so that's leadership.

32:28.860 --> 32:30.020
Just like a congregation.

32:30.320 --> 32:33.180
That's leadership bringing it down on us.

32:33.240 --> 32:34.020
And we're like, what?

32:34.300 --> 32:34.840
Where you going?

32:35.000 --> 32:35.100
Go.

32:36.340 --> 32:37.520
We'll move to Tennessee.

32:38.220 --> 32:38.500
We're going to...

32:38.500 --> 32:39.540
You can make those moves,

32:39.600 --> 32:41.080
but there's going to be some of that there too.

32:42.400 --> 32:45.100
So it really is to combat it.

32:45.140 --> 32:46.420
It's not to fear it.

32:46.720 --> 32:49.560
It's not to make it into something so big.

32:49.940 --> 32:52.640
It's to humble ourselves before the Lord

32:53.380 --> 32:54.760
and let him rebuke it.

32:56.140 --> 32:58.060
And I like that, like I said,

32:58.300 --> 33:00.260
Pastor spoke on tithing

33:01.500 --> 33:02.640
because it's powerful.

33:03.920 --> 33:05.180
I've been in the spot where like,

33:05.280 --> 33:06.280
I ain't going to say much at all,

33:06.360 --> 33:07.480
but the Lord's rebuking you.

33:08.720 --> 33:10.140
I was just going to stand here with a smile.

33:10.320 --> 33:11.400
I don't even have to get involved.

33:11.520 --> 33:12.280
I don't need to be offended.

33:12.640 --> 33:13.700
I don't even need to say anything.

33:14.180 --> 33:16.320
And the Lord will rebuke that situation

33:16.320 --> 33:17.280
and take care of it.

33:18.360 --> 33:18.680
Hallelujah.

33:20.200 --> 33:21.380
But if we're in disobedience

33:21.380 --> 33:22.000
and we're like, no,

33:22.060 --> 33:23.700
I don't think we should have to do that.

33:23.700 --> 33:24.980
There's certain things in the Bible.

33:25.160 --> 33:26.140
We just ripped the page out.

33:26.220 --> 33:28.180
That's not going to be my Bible.

33:28.420 --> 33:29.940
And we started throwing things out.

33:30.300 --> 33:31.680
Well, now you're going to set yourself up

33:31.680 --> 33:33.620
because it takes pride to do that.

33:35.300 --> 33:37.020
It takes pride to do that.

33:37.580 --> 33:39.400
And so an enemy that is exposed

33:39.400 --> 33:42.160
is an enemy that is defeated

33:42.160 --> 33:43.240
or gets defeated.

33:44.700 --> 33:46.200
The biggest thing,

33:46.340 --> 33:48.780
if something's going on in your household

33:48.780 --> 33:49.680
that shouldn't be,

33:50.160 --> 33:51.720
is for someone in authority,

33:52.780 --> 33:53.900
especially to say,

33:54.380 --> 33:55.480
the Lord showed me this

33:55.480 --> 33:56.540
and this is what's going on

33:56.540 --> 33:57.780
and this is enough.

33:58.660 --> 33:59.760
We're not doing this here.

34:02.440 --> 34:03.520
That's the thing we fear.

34:03.900 --> 34:05.580
Well, does it kill you? No.

34:07.320 --> 34:08.860
But you hate the feeling of it.

34:10.160 --> 34:12.000
But something needs to be exposed.

34:12.220 --> 34:14.180
Somebody has to bring it into the light

34:14.180 --> 34:15.200
and you got to do that in love

34:15.200 --> 34:16.200
and you have to do that humble.

34:16.400 --> 34:17.980
And then you're waiting for

34:17.980 --> 34:19.980
things to bring about a change

34:19.980 --> 34:21.560
as you speak truth into it.

34:21.980 --> 34:23.240
But you can't speak truth

34:23.240 --> 34:24.040
like you know it all.

34:24.140 --> 34:24.960
You have to speak truth

34:24.960 --> 34:26.700
like I got to humble myself too.

34:28.280 --> 34:30.080
We're all responsible to bend the knee.

34:32.000 --> 34:32.880
Same thing in a church.

34:33.400 --> 34:34.800
Same thing in your workplace.

34:35.400 --> 34:36.800
Wherever it is

34:37.300 --> 34:38.780
that this thing might be ruling.

34:38.940 --> 34:39.780
So I'm bringing it up

34:39.780 --> 34:41.420
because we have to be aware of it.

34:41.780 --> 34:44.440
And it will talk completely opposite

34:45.160 --> 34:46.320
in your flesh

34:47.460 --> 34:49.580
to what Pastor Igor is going to preach.

34:51.100 --> 34:52.960
Your flesh will talk completely opposite.

34:54.280 --> 34:57.340
And so, when you look at these characteristics

34:57.340 --> 34:58.760
this is just some of them.

34:59.320 --> 35:01.260
You know you've participated in it

35:01.260 --> 35:02.360
which we all have

35:02.360 --> 35:03.680
and you know it's happened to you.

35:04.460 --> 35:04.720
Right?

35:05.540 --> 35:06.980
Can I get an amen on that?

35:07.100 --> 35:08.400
Are we just going to stay stone face?

35:09.100 --> 35:10.460
I mean, it happens.

35:10.660 --> 35:11.320
That's what's real.

35:12.100 --> 35:13.440
But when it continues

35:13.440 --> 35:14.380
and there's no one

35:14.380 --> 35:15.720
bending the knee before God

35:15.720 --> 35:16.280
and just saying,

35:16.360 --> 35:19.340
God, I can't drive this thing out.

35:20.200 --> 35:22.520
I refuse to flee from it

35:22.520 --> 35:24.640
but I'm not going to enter

35:24.640 --> 35:26.260
into the pride realm

35:26.260 --> 35:28.220
where it has right to rule me.

35:29.400 --> 35:30.200
It's king.

35:30.460 --> 35:31.880
One version says kings.

35:32.400 --> 35:34.340
It's a king of the sons of pride.

35:36.200 --> 35:38.780
I'm a daughter of the Lord Jesus Christ.

35:39.420 --> 35:40.740
I have no other ruler.

35:41.320 --> 35:42.300
I will bow the knee.

35:43.480 --> 35:44.480
Yeah, but we need to.

35:44.860 --> 35:45.720
I will bow the knee.

35:46.380 --> 35:47.660
The Lord will rebuke it.

35:49.200 --> 35:51.980
The reason it feels too big for us

35:51.980 --> 35:54.140
is because we've been trying to...

35:54.140 --> 35:55.040
I had one guy tell me

35:55.040 --> 35:56.300
this happened a lot over the years.

35:56.440 --> 35:56.600
They're like,

35:56.660 --> 35:58.420
I was up all night wrestling with demons.

35:59.680 --> 36:00.500
Like, all night.

36:00.960 --> 36:01.820
I'm like, what'd you do?

36:01.960 --> 36:02.880
Like, what didn't that look like?

36:03.160 --> 36:04.340
I'm just asking questions

36:04.720 --> 36:05.520
because they're like,

36:05.640 --> 36:06.740
and I bound this

36:06.740 --> 36:07.900
and then he showed me that

36:07.900 --> 36:08.580
and I bound that.

36:08.720 --> 36:10.620
Okay, maybe you're being led by the Spirit

36:10.620 --> 36:13.460
but that should not continue to go on.

36:14.480 --> 36:15.960
There should be victory.

36:17.800 --> 36:18.880
According to the word.

36:20.380 --> 36:22.860
So there might be a missing component

36:22.860 --> 36:25.240
where it's like, all this is jacked up.

36:25.560 --> 36:26.700
I don't really know what to do with it.

36:27.280 --> 36:28.580
I ain't all that in a bag of chips.

36:28.720 --> 36:29.560
He's given me authority

36:29.560 --> 36:30.820
but I am gonna bow the knee

36:30.820 --> 36:32.400
and the Lord will rebuke you.

36:33.720 --> 36:35.440
How dare you try to touch me?

36:36.120 --> 36:36.860
My family?

36:37.740 --> 36:38.620
Our finances?

36:39.220 --> 36:40.540
The Lord will rebuke you.

36:40.780 --> 36:42.280
Another reason I'm bringing this up

36:42.280 --> 36:44.060
is because if you think

36:44.440 --> 36:46.620
that this stirring is the sifting

36:46.620 --> 36:49.660
it's not the main characteristics of sifting

36:49.660 --> 36:51.320
because this is what sifting does.

36:51.880 --> 36:52.600
God moves.

36:53.060 --> 36:54.520
Yes, that's what we want him to do.

36:55.000 --> 36:56.340
But when God moves, everything moves.

36:58.260 --> 37:00.360
So the very things that how we are there

37:00.360 --> 37:01.420
will be exposed.

37:02.600 --> 37:04.600
So it isn't God's doing this,

37:04.700 --> 37:05.740
my car broke down

37:05.740 --> 37:07.360
and God's sifting me

37:07.360 --> 37:09.460
and you know, I was sick last night

37:09.460 --> 37:10.340
or God this or God.

37:10.940 --> 37:13.320
No, that stuff is already there.

37:13.900 --> 37:16.380
And when he moves, he brings it into the light.

37:18.600 --> 37:19.000
Amen?

37:20.040 --> 37:21.060
And then you look at it and you go,

37:21.160 --> 37:21.640
oh snap.

37:22.700 --> 37:23.840
And then you better bow the knee.

37:25.120 --> 37:27.240
You better bow the knee because you aren't capable.

37:28.020 --> 37:29.300
He's given us the authority

37:29.300 --> 37:30.800
and when he tells you to say something,

37:30.920 --> 37:31.540
you can say it.

37:31.660 --> 37:33.040
But you're not gonna have anything to say

37:33.040 --> 37:34.560
until you humble yourself.

37:36.060 --> 37:38.440
We can't assume we already have something to say.

37:39.300 --> 37:39.900
Can we?

37:40.460 --> 37:41.670
I have a ton of scriptures memorized

37:42.120 --> 37:44.440
and I know how to pull out the howitzer

37:44.440 --> 37:45.380
and just be like...

37:46.220 --> 37:47.200
and nail stuff.

37:47.700 --> 37:49.380
But God might not have told me

37:49.380 --> 37:50.260
to say any of those things.

37:51.780 --> 37:53.560
You know, you're like a knot bind

37:53.560 --> 37:55.700
and this is... you know, you're going

37:55.700 --> 37:57.240
because you feel there's actually

37:57.240 --> 37:58.900
at the base of it, if you really dig deep

37:58.900 --> 37:59.560
is fear.

38:00.780 --> 38:02.000
I gotta get my weapons out.

38:02.380 --> 38:03.260
I gotta have my weapons.

38:03.260 --> 38:05.820
I gotta... oh shoot, I don't have

38:05.820 --> 38:06.980
the full armor on right now.

38:07.240 --> 38:09.060
Okay, now you're going to pray

38:09.060 --> 38:10.240
like that looks.

38:11.860 --> 38:13.880
But if I'm under the shadow of his wing

38:15.000 --> 38:16.500
and I still don't know everything,

38:16.800 --> 38:19.440
for sure, the Lord's

38:19.440 --> 38:20.760
gonna rebuke whatever's coming out.

38:21.260 --> 38:23.160
I got rebuke by my chicken the other day.

38:23.820 --> 38:25.860
I didn't know she hatched out three eggs.

38:26.000 --> 38:26.400
I didn't know.

38:27.120 --> 38:28.440
So I come in there

38:28.440 --> 38:29.520
and she's just sitting

38:29.520 --> 38:31.060
and all of a sudden has a walk toward her.

38:32.740 --> 38:34.540
I was like, what is she doing?

38:35.040 --> 38:36.940
And then all of a sudden

38:36.940 --> 38:38.840
I went to get the water and did this

38:38.840 --> 38:40.440
and pooh, she had my hand

38:40.440 --> 38:41.380
before I knew what happened.

38:41.480 --> 38:42.820
I'm just glad there's a little gate in between.

38:43.000 --> 38:43.380
I was like, whoa!

38:44.600 --> 38:45.380
She rebuked me.

38:46.520 --> 38:47.720
They were well protected

38:47.720 --> 38:50.180
under the shadow of her wings.

38:52.460 --> 38:52.720
Amen.

38:53.640 --> 38:55.100
She'll peck your eyes out if she has to.

38:56.560 --> 38:57.940
I was like, all right, you go girl,

38:58.080 --> 38:58.580
be a good mom.

38:58.580 --> 39:01.940
But it was that feeling.

39:02.480 --> 39:03.760
But now, you know,

39:03.920 --> 39:05.420
sometimes we come out from the shadow

39:05.420 --> 39:06.500
and we're like, you know what?

39:07.000 --> 39:09.660
That's because we know right there's the hen, right?

39:09.800 --> 39:10.280
You know what?

39:10.680 --> 39:12.180
And we'll start talking stuff.

39:12.520 --> 39:15.200
And he's supposed to be training us to do that.

39:15.920 --> 39:17.840
But I'm always going to be

39:17.840 --> 39:19.780
in the shadow of his wings.

39:21.360 --> 39:23.040
He's always going to be God.

39:24.180 --> 39:26.440
I don't matter how many years I'm saved.

39:26.720 --> 39:27.980
He will always be the one.

39:27.980 --> 39:29.480
That gets all the glory.

39:29.860 --> 39:30.720
All the honor.

39:31.200 --> 39:31.900
All the praise.

39:32.920 --> 39:33.920
I have not arrived.

39:34.280 --> 39:35.640
You have not arrived as a wife.

39:36.280 --> 39:38.380
You have not arrived as a husband or a mom.

39:40.960 --> 39:41.980
I'm just letting you know.

39:42.440 --> 39:43.120
In case you didn't know that.

39:43.800 --> 39:45.160
We got stuff we got to learn.

39:46.300 --> 39:46.700
Right?

39:46.900 --> 39:48.800
And pride says, well, I just need to listen to me.

39:48.900 --> 39:50.460
And I know, maybe there's a different approach.

39:50.780 --> 39:52.240
Maybe there's something you can do differently.

39:52.600 --> 39:54.120
Maybe humble yourself before the Lord

39:54.120 --> 39:55.620
and get the info from him.

39:55.620 --> 39:57.700
And then repeat that thing to them.

40:00.040 --> 40:00.480
Amen.

40:01.900 --> 40:04.060
So this fits every situation.

40:04.340 --> 40:06.360
But then the other thing he wanted me to mention

40:06.360 --> 40:07.500
because we are going to pray.

40:08.160 --> 40:10.440
In a way, maybe that you haven't prayed in a while.

40:11.160 --> 40:11.860
Maybe have.

40:12.000 --> 40:12.360
I don't know.

40:12.760 --> 40:13.460
I'm not your judge.

40:14.460 --> 40:17.320
But this is the page that talks about the soothsayer.

40:17.780 --> 40:18.740
I'm going real fast.

40:19.440 --> 40:21.180
Because I told you I was going to machine gun you

40:21.180 --> 40:23.180
because I think we have a mature group here anyway.

40:23.780 --> 40:25.540
You can handle this, right?

40:28.280 --> 40:32.280
This one to me runs deep inside of me,

40:32.360 --> 40:35.380
especially because I preach at a lot of churches.

40:36.120 --> 40:37.480
Some of them are full gospel.

40:37.660 --> 40:38.500
Some of them are not.

40:39.280 --> 40:41.800
But either way, they're soothsayers in the church.

40:43.520 --> 40:45.120
And they try to find me.

40:46.320 --> 40:48.660
They just are drawn to where I'm at.

40:49.200 --> 40:50.140
And they always have a word.

40:50.140 --> 40:53.060
Or, let me just encourage you in this.

40:53.300 --> 40:55.120
And it's opposite of the word or whatever.

40:55.300 --> 40:57.160
And you're just like, it's very interesting.

40:58.020 --> 41:01.480
So a soothsayer, we go to Acts chapter 16

41:01.480 --> 41:05.840
is a really good example of someone soothsaying

41:05.840 --> 41:08.780
or divining, divination.

41:09.320 --> 41:11.280
There's all kinds of, you can look up that word,

41:11.640 --> 41:13.260
divination, and it goes to everything

41:13.260 --> 41:14.500
from palm reading to whatever.

41:15.240 --> 41:17.200
But the just of it is that you're,

41:17.380 --> 41:19.940
they're being used to predict a future thing.

41:20.460 --> 41:21.440
Which is prophetic.

41:23.220 --> 41:25.760
And it is and can be the truth.

41:27.880 --> 41:29.140
I shouldn't say it that way.

41:29.360 --> 41:30.740
It is and can be a truth.

41:32.380 --> 41:35.020
But when it's the truth coming from a prophet,

41:35.260 --> 41:37.080
that's the mouthpiece of God.

41:38.380 --> 41:40.740
You're being used as a mouthpiece of God.

41:41.700 --> 41:44.440
You have the structure of the word,

41:44.580 --> 41:45.680
the foundation of the word,

41:45.860 --> 41:47.160
and you're speaking on his behalf.

41:49.300 --> 41:51.180
Soothsaying many times is emotionally based.

41:53.100 --> 41:54.660
Now, you can get good at that.

41:54.960 --> 41:58.200
Just like you can get good at cold reading people.

41:59.260 --> 42:00.820
I'm really good at cold reading people.

42:02.600 --> 42:04.300
That's why sometimes I come down the prayer line

42:04.300 --> 42:06.020
and I'll say, this is not a word of knowledge.

42:06.240 --> 42:07.140
I'll tell people right away.

42:07.440 --> 42:08.460
I just saw that.

42:08.980 --> 42:11.340
And it wasn't like, oh, I'm so spiritual right now.

42:11.460 --> 42:12.040
I just saw that.

42:12.260 --> 42:13.140
Tears are coming down the face

42:13.140 --> 42:14.280
and it's like, you look really sad.

42:14.280 --> 42:15.140
No way.

42:16.740 --> 42:18.640
She just can hear from God.

42:19.040 --> 42:24.140
I mean, I'm just saying you can cold read somebody.

42:25.200 --> 42:28.280
Certain things can end up being psychosomatic of the brain.

42:28.960 --> 42:30.880
And you have to be able to discern all that.

42:30.940 --> 42:32.120
And that's running pretty deep.

42:32.480 --> 42:35.420
But I will tell you, this girl that was here

42:35.420 --> 42:38.340
was being used in Devonation or Soothsaying.

42:41.600 --> 42:44.560
Let's go verse 16 of chapter 16.

42:45.300 --> 42:47.340
And they were making money off of her.

42:48.360 --> 42:51.380
So one of the characteristics of a Soothsayer

42:52.180 --> 42:53.860
is personal gain.

42:55.300 --> 42:57.100
Now that doesn't always mean money.

42:58.420 --> 43:01.280
If I was projecting things to become powerful

43:01.280 --> 43:02.400
and create a following,

43:02.720 --> 43:06.180
I can gain the feelings of pride that I need.

43:07.140 --> 43:09.600
I can feed the monster inside of me.

43:10.040 --> 43:12.540
Just by going around saying certain things.

43:12.920 --> 43:14.840
So it's money, it's all of that.

43:15.100 --> 43:18.120
Well, anyways, here verse 16 of Acts chapter 16 says,

43:18.300 --> 43:21.380
It happened that as we were on our way to the place of prayer.

43:21.660 --> 43:23.860
Nice. They're going to the place of prayer.

43:24.460 --> 43:27.620
We were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of Devonation.

43:27.820 --> 43:31.700
That is a demonic spirit claiming to foretell the future

43:32.500 --> 43:34.220
and discover hidden knowledge.

43:34.220 --> 43:37.780
And she brought her owners a good profit by fortune telling.

43:38.920 --> 43:41.660
So they're making some bucks off this chick.

43:42.100 --> 43:43.540
She could see into things.

43:43.740 --> 43:45.220
She could, you know...

43:46.360 --> 43:47.440
I said that word chick.

43:47.920 --> 43:48.740
That's an inside thing.

43:49.280 --> 43:56.540
Anyway, there's something about it

43:56.540 --> 43:58.720
where she was able to see into things.

43:59.060 --> 44:02.600
Like, you know, fortune tellers many times have a technique.

44:02.600 --> 44:05.800
It can be just a technique and they can cold read you.

44:06.280 --> 44:08.560
And then all of a sudden you're like, how did they know that?

44:09.080 --> 44:09.260
Right?

44:09.840 --> 44:12.280
But once they're like, I see somebody in a red shirt.

44:13.660 --> 44:16.200
34. The number 34 is coming to my mind.

44:16.540 --> 44:17.960
And 34 is the...

44:17.960 --> 44:19.180
Yep, that's how old they are.

44:19.800 --> 44:21.640
Gray here and they describe your grandma and you're like,

44:21.800 --> 44:23.100
How did they even know that?

44:23.660 --> 44:24.680
I'd be careful of that.

44:25.740 --> 44:27.640
Because what does that have to do with your future?

44:28.220 --> 44:30.940
What that does is grab your attention though, doesn't it?

44:30.940 --> 44:32.280
You're like, how did they know that?

44:33.820 --> 44:34.980
And so you want more.

44:35.580 --> 44:37.460
It'll make you hunger for more.

44:37.560 --> 44:40.560
Now there are times words of knowledge will disclose things

44:40.560 --> 44:43.360
that you're like, well, there's no way they could have known that.

44:43.680 --> 44:47.600
But it's different than if I'm trying to capture your attention.

44:48.560 --> 44:50.300
I'm trying to do that.

44:50.420 --> 44:52.900
And they'll do it through just name and weird stuff.

44:53.320 --> 44:53.600
Right?

44:53.920 --> 44:55.160
That has nothing to do with your future.

44:56.940 --> 44:59.900
And it's not necessarily the mouthpiece of God.

45:01.520 --> 45:02.080
Right?

45:02.800 --> 45:05.740
So that one, that one you guys are pondering.

45:06.500 --> 45:09.900
This, that is a demonic spirit claiming to foretell the future

45:09.900 --> 45:11.060
and discover hidden knowledge.

45:11.160 --> 45:14.440
And she brought her owners a good profit by fortune telling.

45:14.740 --> 45:17.780
She followed after Paul and us and kept screaming and shouting.

45:18.240 --> 45:20.420
These men are servants of the Most High God.

45:20.680 --> 45:23.020
They are proclaiming to you the way of salvation.

45:23.380 --> 45:24.500
Was she lying?

45:26.020 --> 45:28.360
No, so she was speaking a truth.

45:30.620 --> 45:34.460
But she wasn't speaking on behalf of God and telling the truth.

45:34.760 --> 45:38.120
He is the way, the truth and the life.

45:38.780 --> 45:39.920
But it's so similar.

45:40.060 --> 45:40.820
There's a fine line.

45:40.960 --> 45:42.120
It's just like hanging right there.

45:42.180 --> 45:42.840
And you're like, hmm.

45:43.840 --> 45:46.820
And so you would think like, well, why did they get mad at her?

45:47.280 --> 45:49.900
She's pointing, she's like saying what's going on.

45:50.340 --> 45:52.980
And then see all they would have had to do is posture

45:52.980 --> 45:53.720
themselves differently.

45:53.940 --> 45:54.520
Like, that's right.

45:54.620 --> 45:54.960
We're here.

45:55.460 --> 45:56.540
God sent us.

45:56.540 --> 45:56.880
Whoo.

45:57.580 --> 45:59.180
Even she can see this.

45:59.780 --> 46:00.780
That's who I am.

46:00.940 --> 46:01.380
See pride.

46:02.320 --> 46:03.360
It's poking around.

46:03.620 --> 46:06.600
Usually what it does is it pokes around to see where your fear is

46:07.160 --> 46:09.900
through words over you or where your pride is.

46:11.800 --> 46:13.140
It's like, oh, I found it.

46:13.240 --> 46:13.680
I found the button.

46:13.900 --> 46:14.700
I'm going to push that button.

46:15.200 --> 46:16.120
I'm going to give information.

46:16.340 --> 46:16.980
I'll push that button.

46:17.100 --> 46:19.380
And you're like, oh, someone understands me.

46:19.440 --> 46:21.540
And the next thing you know, you open up to something.

46:22.060 --> 46:22.700
That's demonic.

46:25.940 --> 46:29.500
So she followed after Paul and kept screaming and shouting.

46:29.680 --> 46:30.940
I mean, that would be kind of annoying.

46:32.100 --> 46:33.860
But she's speaking the truth.

46:34.040 --> 46:36.700
So what it does is it sets it up like, well, who's going to tell

46:36.700 --> 46:37.280
her to be quiet?

46:37.460 --> 46:38.960
Because like she's saying the truth.

46:39.960 --> 46:43.680
No, she's saying a truth at an inappropriate time for the

46:43.680 --> 46:44.340
wrong reason.

46:45.020 --> 46:46.400
And it's not the truth.

46:48.220 --> 46:50.140
She's interrupting the prophets of God.

46:50.140 --> 46:52.680
She's interrupting the apostles walking through.

46:53.120 --> 46:55.240
She continued doing this for several days.

46:55.380 --> 46:57.780
Then Paul being greatly annoyed and worn out.

46:59.300 --> 46:59.940
Oh, yeah.

47:00.420 --> 47:03.020
Turn and said to the spirit inside of her.

47:03.760 --> 47:05.360
This is the spirit inside of her.

47:05.800 --> 47:08.880
I command you in the name of Jesus Christ as his representative

47:08.880 --> 47:09.900
to come out of her.

47:10.000 --> 47:12.040
And it came out at that very moment.

47:12.200 --> 47:13.300
That ticked off the owners.

47:14.340 --> 47:18.020
See, whenever there's a back side of things, you know,

47:18.020 --> 47:19.360
wrong intent or whatever.

47:19.960 --> 47:21.160
Paul is so mean.

47:21.940 --> 47:24.000
I don't think we should go anywhere near his church.

47:24.240 --> 47:25.320
I don't see where we should have.

47:25.460 --> 47:26.580
He's just a mean guy.

47:26.860 --> 47:28.220
I mean, she was just trying to help.

47:29.320 --> 47:31.640
See, it'll get on the people just like Leviathan.

47:31.740 --> 47:33.820
And the next thing you know, you're gathered around

47:33.820 --> 47:35.800
something that wasn't even God.

47:36.460 --> 47:38.120
And it'll suck you away.

47:39.760 --> 47:40.240
Yeah?

47:41.500 --> 47:44.220
So I want to address something about being a

47:44.220 --> 47:45.040
conference junkie.

47:46.400 --> 47:48.880
Like, if I could be 10 people, I'd be so many meetings

47:48.880 --> 47:51.280
all over the place because I just love checking stuff out.

47:51.520 --> 47:54.800
But if I feel like I have to go get my next high

47:56.060 --> 47:56.940
in a conference.

47:58.300 --> 48:00.180
I'm not humbling myself before the Lord.

48:00.340 --> 48:01.940
I know it's such a mess in our marriage.

48:02.060 --> 48:03.340
I really don't know what to do or whatever.

48:03.680 --> 48:05.520
And then I'm like, I know.

48:05.700 --> 48:07.280
I'll go hear the great speaker so-and-so.

48:08.660 --> 48:10.260
And then hopefully I'll get a word.

48:10.920 --> 48:12.700
And they'll prophesy over me.

48:14.920 --> 48:17.560
I like leaving people in a spot when they call me

48:17.560 --> 48:18.520
for counseling sometimes.

48:19.080 --> 48:20.700
And they'll be like, I just need to really meet now.

48:20.860 --> 48:21.800
I can't for two days.

48:22.600 --> 48:24.440
I've been telling you the truth here right now.

48:25.160 --> 48:26.940
Most of it is because my calendar's full.

48:27.300 --> 48:29.700
But the other part of it is like, you need to calm down

48:30.420 --> 48:31.480
and figure you out.

48:32.980 --> 48:33.920
I'm not your God.

48:35.300 --> 48:37.440
Then when you come in, it's crazy how many of them

48:37.440 --> 48:38.900
are like, you know, it's silly that I called you.

48:39.040 --> 48:41.840
And God told me this and this is what happened.

48:41.840 --> 48:42.960
And they're like, oh, yeah, yeah.

48:43.860 --> 48:46.100
And they have this whole thing that God disclosed to them

48:46.100 --> 48:49.440
because they couldn't grab me for the information.

48:50.840 --> 48:53.020
The body of Christ is being trained

48:53.020 --> 48:55.260
in some of these conference junky kind of things

48:55.260 --> 48:57.560
where it's just like, we're going just for the word.

48:57.700 --> 48:59.060
We're going to, you know,

48:59.140 --> 49:01.400
Calvin Woods has really accurate prophecies, right?

49:01.700 --> 49:03.460
But he only does it when God tells him to do it.

49:05.200 --> 49:08.480
And he says it's really crazy when people are craving that.

49:08.720 --> 49:09.900
Like he's their God.

49:09.900 --> 49:11.860
He's got to give them nothing. He just walks on by.

49:12.920 --> 49:15.020
And then they get mad like, oh, I went to that

49:15.020 --> 49:16.100
and he didn't even say anything.

49:16.320 --> 49:18.100
He said everything over everyone over there,

49:18.120 --> 49:20.000
but I was the one that didn't...

49:20.000 --> 49:21.660
He might not have something for you,

49:21.800 --> 49:23.900
or he purposely, God was saying, no.

49:27.840 --> 49:29.540
It's important we understand this,

49:29.620 --> 49:32.220
not just because we're going into talking about humble,

49:33.420 --> 49:35.140
and that can jack with your flesh,

49:35.260 --> 49:36.720
or your flesh, anything that's in there.

49:36.800 --> 49:37.900
It's like, let me poke the bear.

49:38.000 --> 49:39.420
What you got? What you got?

49:39.420 --> 49:41.420
It's going to do that, just so you know.

49:44.330 --> 49:45.690
Because when you do anything,

49:46.510 --> 49:50.150
that's the foundational principle of how God operates.

49:50.610 --> 49:52.030
You're poking the bear inside of you.

49:52.130 --> 49:53.350
And you say, I don't want to.

49:53.810 --> 49:58.270
And when you get angry, or you get that all riling up

49:58.270 --> 50:00.130
in the inside of you, nobody can do anything right

50:00.130 --> 50:03.350
around you, stupid job, and dumb car,

50:03.570 --> 50:04.890
and all the stuff starts coming up.

50:05.150 --> 50:06.890
What's going on inside of you?

50:07.950 --> 50:08.830
No, it's not me.

50:08.830 --> 50:12.750
I wouldn't even be feeling this way if it wasn't for...

50:12.750 --> 50:14.970
See, that's how it works.

50:15.290 --> 50:16.770
And I'm going to go talk to them about it.

50:16.810 --> 50:18.790
And I know I probably shouldn't be talking to them about this,

50:18.830 --> 50:20.590
but I'm going to say, because that really bothers me.

50:20.650 --> 50:23.270
I saw that, and then you start spreading gossip and everything.

50:23.550 --> 50:25.110
Because the anger inside of you

50:25.110 --> 50:26.830
really does want something to stop,

50:26.950 --> 50:28.270
but it doesn't allow...

50:28.270 --> 50:29.390
You're hearing the message,

50:29.510 --> 50:30.390
I want something to stop.

50:30.450 --> 50:31.290
That's what anger says.

50:32.030 --> 50:34.490
But you're going down the wrong trail to look for it.

50:36.350 --> 50:37.730
The trail goes like this.

50:39.310 --> 50:40.270
Right in the heart.

50:43.110 --> 50:45.610
Just look at the principle of

50:45.610 --> 50:48.350
repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.

50:48.970 --> 50:50.150
You hear me say this over and over.

50:50.730 --> 50:52.490
His rulership, his ways of things,

50:52.970 --> 50:55.270
doing things, his domain is like right here.

50:55.850 --> 50:57.950
And when you get born again, it's like right here.

50:59.250 --> 51:00.850
But we don't tap its resources.

51:01.590 --> 51:03.110
Just got a kingdom inside of us,

51:03.110 --> 51:05.150
and we're just like, I don't know how I'm going to fix this.

51:05.270 --> 51:05.990
This is so dumb.

51:05.990 --> 51:07.790
And I got to go deal with the neighbor lady.

51:07.990 --> 51:10.110
And I'm going to tell her a thing or two or whatever.

51:10.470 --> 51:12.470
And it's like, you haven't even talked to the king.

51:14.670 --> 51:16.350
You haven't even gone to the kingdom.

51:17.070 --> 51:19.810
Why is it our first response is not

51:19.810 --> 51:22.550
to hit our knees at the altar?

51:24.090 --> 51:25.350
Why isn't it like, oh Jesus,

51:25.830 --> 51:29.130
like Pastor Igor was saying, I have to have you.

51:29.530 --> 51:30.990
I'm desperate for you.

51:31.810 --> 51:33.590
Because I already know I don't have the answer,

51:33.650 --> 51:35.870
because if I did, I would be at peace right now.

51:37.470 --> 51:39.910
I already know I can't do it, because if I could,

51:40.290 --> 51:40.970
it'd be done already.

51:42.870 --> 51:43.530
You see that?

51:45.670 --> 51:46.450
Are you okay?

51:47.990 --> 51:49.890
That happens when things get machine gun.

51:50.890 --> 51:51.930
He's a hawk.

51:54.030 --> 51:56.230
I'm really just saying foundational things.

51:56.470 --> 51:58.930
I'm not trying to come up with something.

51:58.930 --> 52:02.430
Sometimes demonology can do this,

52:02.530 --> 52:04.370
or you talk about spirits that can do this.

52:04.910 --> 52:08.270
It's like only a few people know the hierarchy of the demonic realm.

52:09.710 --> 52:12.270
And then you're just like, yeah, we need to go to those people

52:12.270 --> 52:14.830
because they understand how, okay, stop.

52:15.790 --> 52:18.230
It falls under the category of working of miracles,

52:18.370 --> 52:19.030
but so does healing.

52:20.510 --> 52:22.090
So does a lot of other things, right?

52:22.410 --> 52:22.950
They're supernatural.

52:24.610 --> 52:26.770
But sometimes we lift it up, it's fear.

52:27.170 --> 52:29.470
We lift it up, so fear goes to pride.

52:29.710 --> 52:31.770
Just like, yeah, I was part of casting that demon out.

52:31.870 --> 52:32.690
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

52:33.030 --> 52:35.010
And we'll switch over into that, like, what are you doing?

52:36.230 --> 52:38.230
Why do you think men in the Bible got in trouble?

52:42.100 --> 52:44.340
Everything's around humbling ourselves before him.

52:45.260 --> 52:47.800
The confusion many times comes that if we're humbled,

52:48.060 --> 52:49.340
then how do we operate an authority?

52:50.760 --> 52:53.760
If we give up our identity, then how do we...

52:53.760 --> 52:55.960
What? How are we doing that?

52:55.960 --> 53:00.060
So you try to picture yourself and you can't figure out what face to put on.

53:01.540 --> 53:05.860
I don't think that God gives a mighty warrior, for instance,

53:07.320 --> 53:10.140
so that when they humble theirself, they lose all of that.

53:10.900 --> 53:12.680
Suddenly they can't lift anything up.

53:13.720 --> 53:15.940
You are who he made you to be, right?

53:16.820 --> 53:19.860
You can come in with a hundred pounds shield, plant that,

53:20.100 --> 53:21.820
and then bend your knee and talk to the Lord.

53:22.040 --> 53:24.620
It isn't like you lose what he's created you to be.

53:24.620 --> 53:28.160
But sometimes that gets confusing because when we go to humble ourself,

53:28.260 --> 53:30.560
we're like, am I just like denying who I am?

53:30.680 --> 53:32.540
Am I gifting? Or like, what am I doing?

53:32.800 --> 53:35.020
No, you're submitting it to him.

53:35.880 --> 53:38.600
I ain't doing nothing, saying nothing, going anywhere

53:38.600 --> 53:40.820
till I've heard from my king.

53:42.860 --> 53:44.920
And if my feelings are off...

53:44.920 --> 53:47.040
I'm going to sit here for a little bit longer,

53:47.220 --> 53:48.680
get some instruction from him,

53:48.760 --> 53:50.920
because they're not going to tell me what to do.

53:53.160 --> 53:56.960
Too much opens us up to sooth saying and things like that,

53:58.120 --> 54:01.080
because we're in a spot where we're looking.

54:01.280 --> 54:04.160
How many people, the word thronged is what they use.

54:04.240 --> 54:05.100
We don't use that word now.

54:05.200 --> 54:07.040
They're just thronged around Jesus.

54:07.980 --> 54:09.120
Why? Because he was doing miracles,

54:09.420 --> 54:11.660
casting out demons and things that's working miracles.

54:12.440 --> 54:14.720
How many people were exposed to that?

54:15.100 --> 54:16.460
Okay, that was wonderful.

54:16.940 --> 54:18.540
Where were they in the end?

54:19.580 --> 54:22.140
You get 5,000 people following him,

54:22.240 --> 54:23.580
just a few are standing around afterwards.

54:23.780 --> 54:25.320
It's like, that's where the word says,

54:25.420 --> 54:27.320
few there are who will find it.

54:27.520 --> 54:28.800
Narrow is the way.

54:29.900 --> 54:32.480
All these scriptures have to dovetail together.

54:33.580 --> 54:36.180
Even with Pastor Igor, and maybe you know this,

54:36.300 --> 54:38.220
but maybe don't, so I'm going to inform you,

54:38.320 --> 54:39.060
just in case, right?

54:39.780 --> 54:42.500
When you're doing, where you're honoring Pastor,

54:43.620 --> 54:44.640
you know, like you honored me in the prayer

54:44.640 --> 54:46.560
before I came up here, and you honor Pastor,

54:46.560 --> 54:48.080
and he was like, that makes me a little uncomfortable.

54:48.740 --> 54:49.740
Were you here for that?

54:50.120 --> 54:51.040
When you say you're a little uncomfortable?

54:52.220 --> 54:55.320
Right? Because he's practiced trying to stay low.

54:56.020 --> 54:57.740
And so then, and then there's teaching,

54:58.100 --> 54:59.680
and things where you're not supposed to be honored

54:59.680 --> 55:00.420
in the background.

55:00.740 --> 55:02.060
He knows that those aren't true,

55:02.120 --> 55:03.440
but there's an uncomfortability.

55:03.700 --> 55:04.280
You're like, wow.

55:07.280 --> 55:10.460
So, he's not looking for personal gain.

55:11.000 --> 55:12.860
But it is a spiritual thing,

55:12.940 --> 55:14.260
just like tithing or giving.

55:14.260 --> 55:16.180
You shouldn't be tithing where you're like,

55:16.240 --> 55:18.880
stretching your check out and letting everybody see the numbers

55:18.880 --> 55:20.060
and then throwing it in there.

55:20.660 --> 55:22.740
Like, yep, I'm honoring God. No, you're not.

55:22.900 --> 55:24.180
You just honored yourself, right?

55:24.600 --> 55:27.260
But there's something spiritual about honor,

55:28.000 --> 55:29.480
if you're honoring him,

55:29.620 --> 55:31.440
as you're doing everything as unto the Lord.

55:35.570 --> 55:37.110
I'm blunt enough to say things,

55:37.190 --> 55:38.890
so, you know, like, you ever go to a party

55:38.890 --> 55:39.630
or something like that?

55:39.790 --> 55:41.150
We ought to go to that, too.

55:42.390 --> 55:43.410
Supposed to honor them.

55:44.790 --> 55:46.410
I wanted to go fishing, but I don't know.

55:46.650 --> 55:48.390
You know, it's like that feeling.

55:48.570 --> 55:50.550
Well, then when you come there, are you really honoring them?

55:53.110 --> 55:54.470
So, it's not as unto the Lord.

55:54.570 --> 55:56.470
Well, they're not the Lord. It's Jeffrey.

55:57.350 --> 55:57.710
You know?

55:59.210 --> 56:00.630
They're not the Lord. It's just Jeff.

56:00.890 --> 56:01.450
I mean, come on.

56:01.890 --> 56:04.890
And so, there's a feeling to it where it's like,

56:04.950 --> 56:06.670
no, I'm going to take this time and honor Jeff.

56:08.170 --> 56:08.810
That's what I'm going to do.

56:08.870 --> 56:09.850
I know I'd rather be fishing.

56:09.850 --> 56:11.930
And it switches inside of you

56:11.930 --> 56:14.590
because you've humbled yourself before the Lord

56:14.590 --> 56:16.090
to get that switch.

56:17.130 --> 56:17.930
You have to.

56:18.510 --> 56:19.870
God, what would you have me do?

56:20.010 --> 56:20.970
Well, you need to go honor Jeff.

56:21.430 --> 56:22.250
Then that's what I'll do.

56:23.150 --> 56:24.370
I still really wanted to go fishing.

56:24.910 --> 56:25.950
You know, or whatever it was.

56:27.250 --> 56:29.310
But if you just go, slap a gift down,

56:29.430 --> 56:30.510
like, hey, yeah, what time?

56:30.790 --> 56:32.670
How long? Maybe I can still get...

56:32.670 --> 56:33.850
You're not honoring Jeff.

56:36.550 --> 56:37.730
And we've all done it

56:37.730 --> 56:39.190
to some degree.

56:40.370 --> 56:41.430
Everything's on a spectrum.

56:41.690 --> 56:42.830
Maybe it wasn't way over here,

56:42.830 --> 56:43.830
but it was in there.

56:45.210 --> 56:47.190
And so it's purposeful.

56:47.350 --> 56:49.970
So think about what is released

56:51.190 --> 56:55.770
when Pastor Igor honored Dave and Vicki,

56:55.970 --> 56:56.970
Pastor Dave and Vicki.

56:57.730 --> 56:59.010
I had them stand up.

56:59.170 --> 57:00.550
We're like, yeah, they get the clap

57:00.550 --> 57:02.490
because they're in pastor, blah, blah, blah.

57:03.590 --> 57:05.090
Now, you're missing out on the blessing.

57:05.890 --> 57:07.850
Because if you turn and you honor them,

57:08.050 --> 57:10.030
the whole atmosphere around us changes

57:10.030 --> 57:11.230
because we just humbled ourself

57:11.790 --> 57:12.890
to lift them up.

57:16.760 --> 57:19.340
Now, Scripture says give honor where honors do some people.

57:19.540 --> 57:20.840
It's just like, I'm still, give me a sec.

57:20.940 --> 57:22.380
I'm still looking for something to honor them.

57:23.100 --> 57:24.940
Well, what I got, what I got, you know?

57:25.800 --> 57:27.240
So there's something there,

57:27.520 --> 57:28.820
but you'll find something

57:30.680 --> 57:31.880
and you can honor them.

57:32.700 --> 57:34.200
And it's very spiritual.

57:34.400 --> 57:36.420
And for them, it opens up

57:36.880 --> 57:38.160
something within their heart.

57:38.780 --> 57:40.840
The closed spirit suddenly opens up

57:40.840 --> 57:44.060
and it's like, oh, wow, thank you.

57:45.360 --> 57:47.400
So a place that doesn't understand honor

57:47.400 --> 57:49.440
also doesn't understand humbleness

57:49.440 --> 57:52.860
also doesn't know how to defeat the Leviathan

57:52.860 --> 57:54.320
and is open to soothsayers.

57:54.960 --> 57:56.500
So I connected all those together.

57:59.240 --> 58:00.320
It's a lot to take in,

58:00.360 --> 58:01.720
but we do have internet so you can go

58:01.720 --> 58:03.780
and listen to it again, right?

58:03.840 --> 58:05.240
I'm just trying to get us to a point.

58:05.240 --> 58:06.640
You know, I'm not doing the whole teaching

58:06.640 --> 58:08.900
cross-referencing over the thing and all that

58:08.900 --> 58:09.880
because I got this moment.

58:10.420 --> 58:13.140
But what I am doing is trying to point out

58:13.140 --> 58:14.620
where we stop and think, whoa, whoa, whoa,

58:14.680 --> 58:15.820
what have I been exposed to?

58:16.060 --> 58:17.800
What have I allowed to happen in my life?

58:17.960 --> 58:19.880
Who am I fleeing from

58:20.420 --> 58:21.880
instead of addressing the issue?

58:26.350 --> 58:27.670
Sometimes it can be your children.

58:28.550 --> 58:30.030
You're like, well, they're going to throw a big fit.

58:31.610 --> 58:32.650
Welcome to parenthood.

58:33.770 --> 58:35.630
Well, I can't really, I can't go address that.

58:35.630 --> 58:37.870
And the only thing you can see to address it

58:37.870 --> 58:39.790
is either bite their head off or do nothing at all.

58:40.890 --> 58:42.830
So the problem is you can't respond

58:42.830 --> 58:46.030
with your ability because you don't have any.

58:47.350 --> 58:49.170
So the thing you do is you make them wait

58:49.170 --> 58:51.530
and you go to God, humble yourself and get some ability.

58:51.970 --> 58:53.770
This is what you told me to do, slow everything down.

58:53.910 --> 58:55.750
I'm going to talk to this child or whatever.

58:56.710 --> 58:58.430
I mean, we had 12 children for a long time

58:58.430 --> 59:00.170
and a lot of them were through a lot of abuse.

59:00.430 --> 59:02.850
So you got jiggy up in our house sometimes

59:02.850 --> 59:03.810
and we would tap out.

59:04.850 --> 59:07.270
You know, sometimes the pastor would look at me

59:07.270 --> 59:09.830
and he could see I had that look like, I need to tap out.

59:10.430 --> 59:12.730
And so we would just walk by each other too.

59:13.210 --> 59:14.550
Then he would go in and talk.

59:14.910 --> 59:16.650
Because I knew if I stayed in it,

59:17.230 --> 59:21.070
something wrong inside of me was going to be at least on them.

59:21.570 --> 59:23.550
Then there's going to be more of something wrong.

59:24.010 --> 59:26.110
Now, could I have done this better? Absolutely.

59:26.930 --> 59:28.690
Talk about the jacked up things that happened.

59:29.190 --> 59:30.210
I'm just being real.

59:30.930 --> 59:32.490
They happened in your home too, by the way.

59:34.550 --> 59:36.770
Or you'll still have opportunity for them to happen.

59:39.450 --> 59:39.850
Yeah?

59:40.350 --> 59:42.150
And I remember laying in bed and I'd be like,

59:42.410 --> 59:43.870
this was not a good mom day.

59:44.250 --> 59:46.430
That's what I call them, good mom day, bad mom day.

59:47.290 --> 59:48.110
I would be laying there.

59:48.710 --> 59:52.230
And I remember taking the route where I was going to solve it.

59:53.190 --> 59:56.050
So I read all these books, you know, good mom books.

59:58.010 --> 59:59.490
And I'm not asking God.

59:59.610 --> 01:00:01.570
I think I'm asking God by going and getting knowledge

01:00:01.570 --> 01:00:02.790
because he said to go get knowledge.

01:00:03.170 --> 01:00:06.030
Well, the first priority of getting knowledge is actually from him.

01:00:07.110 --> 01:00:08.670
But I was like, no, I'm doing this.

01:00:08.870 --> 01:00:10.730
And then I would write out things I need to work on.

01:00:10.830 --> 01:00:13.310
I need to work on this and make sure that I do that and everything.

01:00:13.630 --> 01:00:17.370
And I burdened myself down trying to hold myself to all these rules.

01:00:18.230 --> 01:00:19.350
And I never talked to God.

01:00:20.370 --> 01:00:23.630
And my worst mom days were days where I hadn't talked to God about it.

01:00:24.750 --> 01:00:26.830
I talked about the church, all kinds of stuff.

01:00:26.950 --> 01:00:27.830
But how am I going to do?

01:00:29.410 --> 01:00:30.350
What am I going to say?

01:00:30.910 --> 01:00:32.210
Because, you know, when you have a lot of kids,

01:00:32.310 --> 01:00:34.230
you always got at least one that just grinds you.

01:00:35.190 --> 01:00:37.490
You're just like, I'm trying to love you.

01:00:39.010 --> 01:00:39.790
Really, I am.

01:00:39.890 --> 01:00:40.630
Give me my blessings.

01:00:41.050 --> 01:00:42.910
Somehow they just get under your skin and you're like,

01:00:43.090 --> 01:00:45.170
and maybe they're just like you.

01:00:45.250 --> 01:00:46.770
I don't know. Maybe that's part of it.

01:00:46.890 --> 01:00:52.270
But I'm just trying to be honest about how these things work.

01:00:52.510 --> 01:00:55.290
And I could come here today and teach on Leviathan,

01:00:55.570 --> 01:00:57.390
like, you know, like I've heard some teaching.

01:00:57.390 --> 01:01:00.210
The Queen Mother Empress of the North came down,

01:01:00.650 --> 01:01:02.450
and this is Blaine connected into,

01:01:02.810 --> 01:01:04.550
and that name of that demon was this.

01:01:04.690 --> 01:01:05.630
And then we tracked it.

01:01:05.950 --> 01:01:07.970
I mean, it gets... demon hunters are like that.

01:01:08.670 --> 01:01:10.790
They go, wait, you're just like, calm down, soldier.

01:01:12.330 --> 01:01:13.810
Maybe just deal with your heart

01:01:14.290 --> 01:01:17.090
and let God blow through you with the Holy Spirit.

01:01:18.350 --> 01:01:20.570
And yeah, if you're wrestling with something the moment,

01:01:20.770 --> 01:01:22.770
we will pray with you, help take authority over.

01:01:23.010 --> 01:01:24.530
But you still got to do that other thing.

01:01:24.530 --> 01:01:27.690
The idea of an arms is so different.

01:01:27.870 --> 01:01:30.010
Did your thinking change? No.

01:01:30.870 --> 01:01:32.550
Oh, you're going to come back around then.

01:01:34.090 --> 01:01:36.030
So that's what makes this conference junky.

01:01:36.130 --> 01:01:37.350
It's like, I'm still thinking about that.

01:01:37.430 --> 01:01:39.730
I got to go here to get this, here to get that.

01:01:41.010 --> 01:01:43.990
And if you ever hear yourself talking like this,

01:01:44.130 --> 01:01:45.410
I'm just giving a warning out.

01:01:46.750 --> 01:01:49.650
Where you talk more about a speaker, a person,

01:01:49.970 --> 01:01:51.570
well, go to pastor, he knows.

01:01:51.570 --> 01:01:53.650
He, oh pastor, ooh.

01:01:54.550 --> 01:01:55.970
Or go to so and so over here.

01:01:56.110 --> 01:01:59.270
They know you already skipped the fact

01:01:59.270 --> 01:02:01.190
that you humbled yourself before the Lord.

01:02:01.330 --> 01:02:02.030
You skipped over that.

01:02:03.850 --> 01:02:04.930
You went to a man.

01:02:05.390 --> 01:02:06.530
Are those people in place?

01:02:06.750 --> 01:02:08.510
Yes, I'm in place. I can give you what I have.

01:02:08.570 --> 01:02:10.310
I can't take you where I haven't gone,

01:02:10.510 --> 01:02:12.090
but I've gone some places. I'll give you that.

01:02:13.350 --> 01:02:15.250
But if I don't point you to Jesus,

01:02:15.990 --> 01:02:19.090
I will start operating in witchcraft and so will you.

01:02:20.430 --> 01:02:22.110
That's how intense this is.

01:02:28.340 --> 01:02:32.700
It's more important that we live the foundational Christian life

01:02:33.300 --> 01:02:35.520
than to get sucked out here into this.

01:02:35.620 --> 01:02:37.320
And did you know they knew my age?

01:02:37.580 --> 01:02:39.740
And what happened when I was in 10th grade?

01:02:41.120 --> 01:02:41.360
Yay.

01:02:43.380 --> 01:02:45.120
I don't, when somebody has a word over me

01:02:45.120 --> 01:02:45.860
and they got all that stuff,

01:02:45.940 --> 01:02:47.000
I'm waiting for them to get some meat.

01:02:47.180 --> 01:02:48.460
Get some meat. I don't really care.

01:02:49.140 --> 01:02:51.140
Now in the past years ago, I was like, whoa.

01:02:51.140 --> 01:02:53.520
I was more impressed with them than I was Jesus.

01:02:57.220 --> 01:02:58.460
I like John the Baptist.

01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:03.720
He's a forerunner and he's saying, he's coming.

01:03:04.020 --> 01:03:04.500
He's greater.

01:03:05.540 --> 01:03:08.000
I can't even stand in his... I mean, he is God.

01:03:09.560 --> 01:03:09.880
Right?

01:03:10.860 --> 01:03:12.300
Yeah, he's the one baptizing people

01:03:12.300 --> 01:03:13.420
and doing different things.

01:03:14.080 --> 01:03:15.560
You know, shouldn't he get some credit?

01:03:15.900 --> 01:03:18.740
No, he was just doing what God asked him to do.

01:03:19.320 --> 01:03:21.420
Pointing to the one that is greater than him.

01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:27.260
Now, it tells us to 1 Corinthians 13,

01:03:27.600 --> 01:03:30.340
all of different parts where it talks about spiritual gifts,

01:03:30.460 --> 01:03:33.680
tells us to crave gifts, hunger for gifts, different versions said,

01:03:34.020 --> 01:03:35.840
long after the gifts, yes.

01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:38.100
I want all the gifts of the spirit,

01:03:38.180 --> 01:03:42.340
but I don't want anything that's not going to point directly to him.

01:03:43.020 --> 01:03:46.120
If I can't show you Jesus through the gifts,

01:03:46.360 --> 01:03:48.620
I'm not operating in something that's of God.

01:03:49.980 --> 01:03:51.940
I might be telling you a truth,

01:03:53.180 --> 01:03:55.660
but is it the truth that you need?

01:03:57.740 --> 01:04:00.580
There are people that I went to a meeting where

01:04:01.200 --> 01:04:04.220
this guy was, whatever came off of him was just extra loving.

01:04:04.740 --> 01:04:06.800
So if you're wounded, especially as a woman,

01:04:07.360 --> 01:04:08.260
if you're wounded, you're like,

01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:10.460
that's why I need my husband to be like him.

01:04:10.580 --> 01:04:12.040
You know, all stuff starts going through you.

01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:14.300
And I was just standing there in the meeting,

01:04:14.340 --> 01:04:17.060
but what was exuding off of him is like,

01:04:17.060 --> 01:04:20.080
here's what true love is, right?

01:04:20.540 --> 01:04:22.480
And the people were just caught up in that.

01:04:22.820 --> 01:04:23.780
He's just so loving.

01:04:24.020 --> 01:04:24.820
He's just so...

01:04:24.820 --> 01:04:27.540
Well, then when he started dumping the words,

01:04:27.820 --> 01:04:31.020
you're already open to everything he has to say.

01:04:31.240 --> 01:04:32.680
And some of it was a truth,

01:04:33.540 --> 01:04:35.660
but it wasn't the truth for their life.

01:04:38.500 --> 01:04:40.120
So if there's no praise and worship,

01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:42.300
honoring God and putting the attention there,

01:04:42.360 --> 01:04:44.540
because honor sets the atmosphere

01:04:45.160 --> 01:04:46.720
for the humbleness of the heart,

01:04:47.560 --> 01:04:50.160
we can't, you know, a lot of churches have music,

01:04:50.160 --> 01:04:52.840
but it doesn't mean people are bringing honor to God,

01:04:53.020 --> 01:04:54.620
making way to eat the praise and worship.

01:04:55.760 --> 01:04:59.720
They're just standing singing songs, right?

01:05:01.080 --> 01:05:02.820
So in order to have that protection,

01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:04.240
it's like, no, I purposely,

01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:06.140
I choose to make weighting my worship.

01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:07.720
This is not about me.

01:05:08.160 --> 01:05:08.980
This is about him.

01:05:09.700 --> 01:05:11.840
So you already started the service the right way.

01:05:11.840 --> 01:05:14.340
Then when you move in, it doesn't matter who's speaking,

01:05:14.540 --> 01:05:16.300
whatever, what can I learn in this teaching

01:05:16.300 --> 01:05:17.840
from his word, who is Jesus,

01:05:18.060 --> 01:05:19.800
that I can bring him glory with.

01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:20.920
All glory be to you, Lord.

01:05:21.060 --> 01:05:21.740
God, show me.

01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:24.880
Why when the Holy Spirit came

01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:26.080
and they amplified it says,

01:05:26.380 --> 01:05:28.700
he came like a mighty rushing wind

01:05:28.700 --> 01:05:30.840
and defused them throughout their souls.

01:05:32.120 --> 01:05:33.280
Throughout their souls.

01:05:33.400 --> 01:05:34.620
So your mind, will and emotion went,

01:05:34.980 --> 01:05:37.600
and they started speaking in tongues.

01:05:39.340 --> 01:05:40.940
Why did he choose that avenue?

01:05:42.040 --> 01:05:43.680
When the power of God came,

01:05:46.740 --> 01:05:49.960
what changed in them is they clearly knew this is,

01:05:49.960 --> 01:05:52.820
this is what Jesus promised.

01:05:53.020 --> 01:05:55.700
He told us where to be, when to be there,

01:05:56.180 --> 01:05:57.320
how they had to wait,

01:05:57.440 --> 01:05:58.540
they had to get some things settled.

01:05:58.680 --> 01:05:59.760
There was all those different things,

01:05:59.840 --> 01:06:00.740
and they sought him,

01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:02.020
and when he showed up,

01:06:02.040 --> 01:06:03.660
it clearly was everything Jesus said.

01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:07.100
And then we know that it was truth

01:06:07.100 --> 01:06:08.540
because they turned around

01:06:09.120 --> 01:06:11.920
and established churches all over.

01:06:13.580 --> 01:06:14.820
They became obedient.

01:06:15.720 --> 01:06:18.140
When we just get words and we're not obedient,

01:06:19.320 --> 01:06:20.920
either you missed it on the front end

01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:21.780
or you're missing it now.

01:06:22.380 --> 01:06:24.940
Either that person didn't truly give you a word

01:06:24.940 --> 01:06:26.360
and you have to call it like that.

01:06:26.620 --> 01:06:28.580
I should not have opened myself up to that.

01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:30.340
I already know what God told me to do.

01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:33.040
See, it'll switch.

01:06:33.660 --> 01:06:34.340
Something's wrong.

01:06:35.560 --> 01:06:37.000
And so if there's pride,

01:06:38.200 --> 01:06:40.860
I don't want Leviathan in this place at all.

01:06:40.860 --> 01:06:43.000
Well, wouldn't that be nice if we just say,

01:06:43.260 --> 01:06:46.140
go on, get on out of here, right?

01:06:46.560 --> 01:06:48.360
And we do that, and then there was suffering.

01:06:49.240 --> 01:06:52.360
The problem is pride is not in the atmosphere

01:06:52.360 --> 01:06:54.320
as much as it is in our hearts.

01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:57.320
So do you see we're about to, as a church,

01:06:57.640 --> 01:06:58.760
when we learn about humbleness,

01:06:59.220 --> 01:07:00.820
go into a form of deliverance.

01:07:02.540 --> 01:07:04.180
And I'm not saying someone's going to puke

01:07:04.180 --> 01:07:05.480
or your head's going to turn around,

01:07:05.560 --> 01:07:07.560
and that's going to be how it's all going to be lined up at the front.

01:07:07.760 --> 01:07:09.740
But the altar should be used more.

01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:13.740
Your chair should be, you know, you know, old time people,

01:07:14.780 --> 01:07:17.220
I remember watching different shows when I first,

01:07:17.420 --> 01:07:18.920
or different shows, different services,

01:07:20.540 --> 01:07:23.560
where people knew how to repent when I first got saved.

01:07:24.040 --> 01:07:25.380
I didn't understand it because we never did.

01:07:25.520 --> 01:07:26.840
They turned and they'd face their chair,

01:07:27.080 --> 01:07:27.940
and they'd pray.

01:07:29.040 --> 01:07:30.840
And they'd cry and they'd weep.

01:07:32.380 --> 01:07:34.580
Well, that's uncouth. We don't do that.

01:07:35.920 --> 01:07:38.220
And then this should be short. Get in, get out.

01:07:41.420 --> 01:07:42.920
I mean, that's why people think we're crazy,

01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:44.860
because we ain't that fast.

01:07:46.600 --> 01:07:48.380
And some people actually do come to the front.

01:07:50.740 --> 01:07:52.780
You can do it in your private time, sure.

01:07:53.120 --> 01:07:55.240
But there is a place in the corporate anointing

01:07:55.240 --> 01:07:57.020
that it's like, I got to go bend the knee.

01:07:58.780 --> 01:08:00.940
I have got to humble myself before God.

01:08:05.790 --> 01:08:08.510
I have to humble myself and hear from Him.

01:08:08.890 --> 01:08:10.290
And I'm not moving until I do.

01:08:15.190 --> 01:08:17.530
He's going to tell me how to do the next right-hard thing.

01:08:19.810 --> 01:08:21.550
A lot of times we're listening and we're hoping

01:08:21.550 --> 01:08:23.190
He's going to throw us a rose and we're like,

01:08:23.270 --> 01:08:24.750
That's it. Wonderful.

01:08:25.510 --> 01:08:28.150
A lot of times it's the thing you already know to do

01:08:28.150 --> 01:08:30.490
that you haven't done. That's the thing He already told you.

01:08:33.350 --> 01:08:33.750
Right?

01:08:35.330 --> 01:08:38.710
So how many of you don't want to be under sooth saying,

01:08:40.030 --> 01:08:41.170
but still have the prophetic?

01:08:41.170 --> 01:08:42.730
Right? How many of you want that?

01:08:43.570 --> 01:08:44.830
Then you better study it out.

01:08:44.950 --> 01:08:46.330
You better humble yourself before the Lord.

01:08:46.430 --> 01:08:50.530
You better learn how to discern when someone has a word over you.

01:08:51.510 --> 01:08:52.910
Maybe I shared this. Maybe I didn't.

01:08:53.010 --> 01:08:56.190
We were up at Red Lake and this elderly gentleman came

01:08:56.190 --> 01:08:58.210
and he asked me if he could blow the shofar.

01:08:58.350 --> 01:08:58.730
I said, sure.

01:08:59.450 --> 01:09:02.010
And then he proceeded to tell me

01:09:02.390 --> 01:09:03.930
when we're in the prayer line, he said,

01:09:04.030 --> 01:09:06.150
I won't be here next time.

01:09:06.850 --> 01:09:07.930
I said, you won't be here next time?

01:09:07.930 --> 01:09:09.730
He said, no, I'll be gone by tomorrow.

01:09:10.170 --> 01:09:10.830
Where are you going?

01:09:11.590 --> 01:09:14.010
He said, well, they prophesied over me that I'm going to die.

01:09:15.890 --> 01:09:17.730
I was just like...

01:09:18.590 --> 01:09:21.310
That's how I said to him, dude, that is not the word.

01:09:23.110 --> 01:09:25.330
That's how I said to him, dude, that's not the word.

01:09:26.270 --> 01:09:28.390
And so then when I showed up the next Sunday

01:09:29.010 --> 01:09:31.170
and he was there, I stopped everything pointing out,

01:09:31.410 --> 01:09:32.570
you are still here.

01:09:33.070 --> 01:09:36.430
Because I prayed over him and we said we reversed that.

01:09:37.330 --> 01:09:38.950
Nobody has the right to know

01:09:38.950 --> 01:09:41.810
when your breath is going to leave this earth but God.

01:09:43.230 --> 01:09:44.630
You're part of that choice?

01:09:45.730 --> 01:09:48.470
But it's God who gave your breath and it's God who will take it.

01:09:48.570 --> 01:09:49.710
And it's not on your timing.

01:09:50.770 --> 01:09:51.470
They're timing.

01:09:52.450 --> 01:09:53.750
So that was Seuth saying.

01:09:54.330 --> 01:09:56.970
He didn't know because certain words were accurate

01:09:56.970 --> 01:09:58.830
and certain words were not.

01:10:02.330 --> 01:10:05.810
If your hunger is more for that thing

01:10:05.810 --> 01:10:08.330
that trips your trigger to convince you,

01:10:08.390 --> 01:10:09.190
you're looking for signs.

01:10:10.210 --> 01:10:12.030
If I need to have the sign that says,

01:10:12.270 --> 01:10:14.150
you know, this happened to you in 8th grade

01:10:14.150 --> 01:10:16.790
and on the 4th of November, blah, blah, blah,

01:10:16.970 --> 01:10:19.270
and you had on a green shirt, it's like, okay, maybe.

01:10:19.510 --> 01:10:21.350
Maybe God shared a word of knowledge like that.

01:10:21.370 --> 01:10:24.430
But I better know in my spirit, this is God

01:10:24.430 --> 01:10:27.010
and he's telling me about what I had on, when and whatever

01:10:27.010 --> 01:10:28.030
for a purpose.

01:10:28.590 --> 01:10:31.330
But if you're trying to bait me into something

01:10:31.330 --> 01:10:32.590
because now I'm setting you up,

01:10:33.130 --> 01:10:34.550
a person usually doesn't know they're doing that

01:10:35.110 --> 01:10:37.310
when they're under that because that's how they were trained.

01:10:37.310 --> 01:10:38.950
Because it's happening all over the place.

01:10:39.330 --> 01:10:42.190
You know, it's one of those things where it's there

01:10:42.990 --> 01:10:44.450
and everybody's intimidated.

01:10:44.970 --> 01:10:47.730
What was one of the things it said about Leviathan?

01:10:48.150 --> 01:10:49.090
It'll cause you to want to flee.

01:10:49.930 --> 01:10:52.310
I was going to tell the guy to stop saying that to me.

01:10:53.390 --> 01:10:54.750
I just felt like running.

01:10:55.350 --> 01:10:56.530
Did you say something? No.

01:10:58.690 --> 01:10:59.650
Do you know there's times,

01:10:59.950 --> 01:11:02.390
and now I hardly have anybody have words over me.

01:11:03.050 --> 01:11:06.030
And I probably because the demonic realm knows

01:11:06.030 --> 01:11:07.730
because there's lots of times it'll be like, stop.

01:11:08.350 --> 01:11:08.470
No.

01:11:09.950 --> 01:11:10.450
I'm good.

01:11:12.050 --> 01:11:14.330
I was like, you can pray for me from there, but stop.

01:11:15.630 --> 01:11:17.290
Do you know you have the right to do that here?

01:11:21.500 --> 01:11:21.720
Yeah?

01:11:22.540 --> 01:11:23.820
I didn't come up here for this.

01:11:25.940 --> 01:11:27.660
Sometimes you came up for something specific.

01:11:28.120 --> 01:11:28.960
You have the right to say no.

01:11:29.280 --> 01:11:31.000
You also have the right to say, please don't touch me.

01:11:33.580 --> 01:11:34.760
That's so un-Christian.

01:11:36.360 --> 01:11:39.060
Christians are supposed to just be so loving

01:11:39.060 --> 01:11:40.860
that you open yourself up to anything.

01:11:41.260 --> 01:11:42.240
No, love has boundaries.

01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:45.420
If you love yourself, then you'll love your neighbor.

01:11:45.780 --> 01:11:48.520
You'll respect their boundaries because you have some for you.

01:11:49.100 --> 01:11:49.880
Ain't that amazing?

01:11:50.600 --> 01:11:52.200
And you have a right to do that.

01:11:53.020 --> 01:11:53.160
Amen?

01:11:54.100 --> 01:11:58.100
So he's going to be leading us into

01:12:01.340 --> 01:12:03.040
breaking this off of us

01:12:03.040 --> 01:12:05.400
without even really concentrating on it.

01:12:05.400 --> 01:12:07.580
We're concentrating on humbling ourselves.

01:12:09.100 --> 01:12:11.500
And you'll be surprised what you get delivered of.

01:12:14.200 --> 01:12:15.880
Because what you're going to do with Leviathan

01:12:15.880 --> 01:12:16.760
put a hook in his nose?

01:12:17.180 --> 01:12:18.880
What are you going to do?

01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:20.680
Ride on his back?

01:12:21.580 --> 01:12:22.040
What are you going to do?

01:12:22.100 --> 01:12:24.160
Because if you were going to do something, you'd have done it already.

01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:29.180
But you humble yourself and it is a weapon of war.

01:12:34.570 --> 01:12:35.630
It's a weapon of war.

01:12:36.290 --> 01:12:38.890
So the other thing that I said was

01:12:38.890 --> 01:12:42.110
when words come forward, it's personal gain.

01:12:42.350 --> 01:12:43.750
Guess what we're looking for sometimes?

01:12:43.990 --> 01:12:47.110
We set ourselves up when we turn into a conference junkie

01:12:47.110 --> 01:12:48.470
or a person worshiper.

01:12:48.790 --> 01:12:51.590
We're like, I got to go there because I have to move ahead.

01:12:52.190 --> 01:12:54.790
So maybe they'll have something for me that'll move me ahead.

01:12:55.430 --> 01:12:56.870
I'm pretty sure God already does.

01:12:57.630 --> 01:13:00.770
He's the light unto your feet, the lamp, to your path.

01:13:02.570 --> 01:13:03.350
Oh, yeah.

01:13:04.830 --> 01:13:06.750
That doesn't mean that if you go somewhere

01:13:06.750 --> 01:13:08.710
and you're just like, I feel like God asked me to go there

01:13:08.710 --> 01:13:11.390
and you're worshiping and somebody happens to have a word for you.

01:13:11.530 --> 01:13:12.650
Here's the thing with words.

01:13:13.330 --> 01:13:15.690
Words should already confirm what you already know.

01:13:17.430 --> 01:13:19.290
They shouldn't always be the surprise.

01:13:20.050 --> 01:13:20.870
I had no idea.

01:13:22.030 --> 01:13:24.610
They should confirm what, yep, that's what God told me too.

01:13:25.030 --> 01:13:28.130
Or if you hear it and it's ahead of time,

01:13:28.510 --> 01:13:30.330
you put it on the shelf that I have my brain.

01:13:30.450 --> 01:13:32.050
I have one of those. You put it up there and you're like,

01:13:32.050 --> 01:13:34.370
I will check you out later, but I'm waiting on God.

01:13:35.590 --> 01:13:37.270
And then when I get something from God,

01:13:37.350 --> 01:13:38.970
I'm like, that actually does mix with that.

01:13:39.170 --> 01:13:40.830
Bring her down, plug it in.

01:13:42.810 --> 01:13:43.010
Amen.

01:13:49.510 --> 01:13:51.850
Don't settle for my car broke down

01:13:51.850 --> 01:13:54.390
and I ran into this, I did this, blah, blah, blah.

01:13:54.530 --> 01:13:56.390
This is all attacking me as sifting.

01:13:58.650 --> 01:14:00.970
God's big heart sifting is whether or not

01:14:00.970 --> 01:14:03.030
you're going to choose pride or humbleness.

01:14:04.690 --> 01:14:07.190
All these things are things that beg the question,

01:14:07.290 --> 01:14:08.170
what are you going to do with that?

01:14:09.790 --> 01:14:11.550
And in this world, there's already trouble,

01:14:11.650 --> 01:14:13.750
so it isn't like God has to cause it and it's out of his nature.

01:14:14.670 --> 01:14:17.670
So don't posture yourself like it's coming from him.

01:14:22.180 --> 01:14:24.440
I'm speaking to you as an apostle in the church.

01:14:27.620 --> 01:14:29.680
That's different than a pastor. That's different.

01:14:30.180 --> 01:14:31.400
Then let me teach every little...

01:14:32.380 --> 01:14:33.880
It's an apostleing moment that says,

01:14:34.160 --> 01:14:36.400
let's map this thing out and establish it.

01:14:37.400 --> 01:14:39.380
Let's make sure we don't get tripped up.

01:14:40.820 --> 01:14:43.220
Let's make sure that we are not living in fear

01:14:43.660 --> 01:14:46.720
and we're walking in faith and faith is just always sure.

01:14:51.990 --> 01:14:54.690
I'm going to answer a question someone asked me regarding this.

01:14:56.110 --> 01:14:59.210
They said, why is it always the prayer line?

01:14:59.390 --> 01:15:01.090
This is a tough question. Are you guys ready for this?

01:15:03.130 --> 01:15:04.530
We'll humble ourselves right now

01:15:04.530 --> 01:15:06.210
before God help us to be ready for this.

01:15:06.930 --> 01:15:12.070
Just why is the prayer line many times the same people over and over

01:15:12.510 --> 01:15:15.050
and the same people are giving words over and over?

01:15:15.190 --> 01:15:18.770
Well, some of that is because we fish from our own bathtub.

01:15:19.850 --> 01:15:22.830
That's how we sometimes we call that evangelism or revival.

01:15:23.710 --> 01:15:25.870
And it's like, actually the same people are here every Sunday.

01:15:27.170 --> 01:15:28.350
True revival, true.

01:15:28.810 --> 01:15:30.670
There's going to be new people in the house or whatever.

01:15:30.890 --> 01:15:33.190
You're not going to know them, you know, your ministry.

01:15:34.030 --> 01:15:35.570
And don't take this as an all or nothing.

01:15:35.570 --> 01:15:37.690
Like I'm shutting something down.

01:15:38.110 --> 01:15:40.110
But I'm saying it bugs people.

01:15:40.470 --> 01:15:43.110
They're like, I ain't getting in the prayer line because it's always this

01:15:43.110 --> 01:15:46.310
and it's always that same way of reaction or whatever.

01:15:47.810 --> 01:15:50.070
Eventually healing needs to take place.

01:15:51.330 --> 01:15:53.470
And eventually the people coming,

01:15:53.890 --> 01:15:57.730
we need to train how to turn and do self deliverance

01:15:57.730 --> 01:16:00.910
and begin to prophesy and begin to speak into their own life

01:16:00.910 --> 01:16:03.110
and to humble themselves before the Lord.

01:16:03.650 --> 01:16:05.650
Now sometimes people are always in the front.

01:16:05.810 --> 01:16:05.910
Why?

01:16:06.690 --> 01:16:08.630
Because they are the ones who will be the first.

01:16:08.790 --> 01:16:09.430
Like, I got to get there.

01:16:09.610 --> 01:16:10.650
I got to humble myself. Let's go.

01:16:12.530 --> 01:16:12.890
Right?

01:16:13.450 --> 01:16:14.390
And we're the debaters.

01:16:14.630 --> 01:16:16.130
We're like, I don't know if I should go up there.

01:16:16.730 --> 01:16:17.710
I did pray this morning.

01:16:19.110 --> 01:16:19.470
Right?

01:16:20.070 --> 01:16:22.390
You know, we raise ourself above it and our reasoning.

01:16:24.010 --> 01:16:27.230
But sometimes I've seen this.

01:16:27.350 --> 01:16:29.230
I saw this in another church not long ago

01:16:29.230 --> 01:16:31.930
where everybody in church knew a person

01:16:31.930 --> 01:16:33.230
was suffering mental illness.

01:16:33.650 --> 01:16:35.290
They were trying to cast demons out of that person

01:16:35.290 --> 01:16:35.730
in every way.

01:16:36.550 --> 01:16:36.830
They could.

01:16:37.870 --> 01:16:39.310
Now I talk to the person and they're like,

01:16:39.390 --> 01:16:40.390
this is almost every Sunday.

01:16:40.790 --> 01:16:41.390
Something's wrong.

01:16:43.210 --> 01:16:44.550
Something is wrong.

01:16:45.750 --> 01:16:47.450
You either need to be delivered,

01:16:47.850 --> 01:16:50.070
get some teaching, do something,

01:16:50.530 --> 01:16:52.830
but something's wrong from the behalf

01:16:52.830 --> 01:16:54.670
of the people that are praying also.

01:16:56.890 --> 01:16:59.290
We need to humble ourselves before the Lord.

01:17:00.970 --> 01:17:02.690
He's going to lift up every situation.

01:17:02.950 --> 01:17:03.270
Let's stand.

01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:12.360
Go back to what he already told you to do

01:17:12.360 --> 01:17:13.420
that you haven't done.

01:17:15.260 --> 01:17:17.960
Ask him, God, what have you already told me

01:17:17.960 --> 01:17:18.920
to do that I haven't done?

01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:21.560
That's a good way to start humbling.

01:17:23.480 --> 01:17:25.200
Otherwise you'll do the rote thing,

01:17:25.200 --> 01:17:27.520
like, you know, you're kneeled.

01:17:27.940 --> 01:17:29.160
You're like, okay, so I'm doing it.

01:17:30.160 --> 01:17:32.120
No, you have to dress something in the heart.

01:17:32.260 --> 01:17:33.960
Go back to the thing he's already told you to do

01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:35.020
that you haven't done yet.

01:17:35.680 --> 01:17:36.620
God, forgive us.

01:17:38.900 --> 01:17:39.960
God, forgive us.

01:17:41.420 --> 01:17:41.760
Hallelujah.

01:17:43.760 --> 01:17:44.720
God, forgive us.

01:17:45.260 --> 01:17:47.180
There's some things he's asked us to get rid of

01:17:47.180 --> 01:17:48.240
and we still haven't done it yet.

01:17:48.660 --> 01:17:50.480
And so, but we're looking for the new thing

01:17:50.480 --> 01:17:51.840
and the new word and the new...

01:17:51.840 --> 01:17:52.800
Okay, that's witchcraft.

01:17:53.380 --> 01:17:55.180
Do the thing he already told you to do.

01:17:56.980 --> 01:17:59.080
But it takes humbleness of heart to do that.

01:17:59.460 --> 01:18:01.740
That's how deep this is going to run.

01:18:04.080 --> 01:18:06.600
And we're going to have to humble ourselves at home

01:18:06.600 --> 01:18:09.860
before we ever get here and learn about humbleness.

01:18:10.640 --> 01:18:12.020
We better start into it.

01:18:13.320 --> 01:18:15.020
Not assuming that we've arrived. Amen?

01:18:16.920 --> 01:18:19.180
So, how many of you know that you had

01:18:19.180 --> 01:18:20.680
soothsaying words over you

01:18:21.420 --> 01:18:23.120
or after just a little bit of description,

01:18:23.360 --> 01:18:24.880
you're like, yeah, that probably wasn't God.

01:18:25.040 --> 01:18:26.840
I'd submit it to that and that probably wasn't God.

01:18:27.200 --> 01:18:28.760
Raise your hand. I'm not bringing you up front.

01:18:29.040 --> 01:18:31.740
Just, you know, suddenly more hands go up when I said that.

01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:34.700
Because your picture of me going, the name of you, you know,

01:18:35.020 --> 01:18:35.840
I'm not doing that.

01:18:37.860 --> 01:18:38.720
We're just going to pray.

01:18:39.480 --> 01:18:39.920
We're just going to pray.

01:18:40.020 --> 01:18:42.400
I think there's a whole lot more that has happened.

01:18:42.540 --> 01:18:43.740
It's happened here at Word of Life.

01:18:44.880 --> 01:18:45.840
I've watched it happen.

01:18:48.870 --> 01:18:51.730
We have to give permission for people to move and grow

01:18:52.870 --> 01:18:53.590
That's true.

01:18:53.930 --> 01:18:55.670
But I've watched people come in

01:18:55.670 --> 01:18:57.550
and try to have personal gain.

01:18:58.050 --> 01:19:00.550
Gain of power as they're praying for people.

01:19:01.770 --> 01:19:03.090
And you're like, chill out.

01:19:04.690 --> 01:19:04.890
Right?

01:19:05.650 --> 01:19:08.130
Or gain the person's just so open

01:19:08.130 --> 01:19:09.230
because anything you're telling me.

01:19:09.310 --> 01:19:10.190
You can tell them to jump right now.

01:19:10.490 --> 01:19:12.530
As long as I gain, I need to gain for this.

01:19:13.130 --> 01:19:14.770
No, no, no. I actually need the truth.

01:19:15.090 --> 01:19:16.610
And the truth usually hurts.

01:19:17.470 --> 01:19:19.650
It's usually something he already told us to do

01:19:19.650 --> 01:19:20.610
that we haven't done yet.

01:19:22.930 --> 01:19:23.130
Amen?

01:19:25.670 --> 01:19:26.990
Father, we come before you

01:19:26.990 --> 01:19:28.130
in the mighty name of Jesus.

01:19:29.010 --> 01:19:31.150
And I thank you that you're going to do this.

01:19:31.330 --> 01:19:32.870
You're going to, you're chipping away at it.

01:19:32.990 --> 01:19:34.550
And that truth was swen out.

01:19:34.670 --> 01:19:36.370
It probably made some people mad, sad, or glad.

01:19:36.570 --> 01:19:37.510
Or all of the above.

01:19:37.630 --> 01:19:39.350
And I'm okay with that because you're okay with that.

01:19:39.850 --> 01:19:41.650
But we're just praying right now, Lord,

01:19:42.110 --> 01:19:43.650
that as this

01:19:44.650 --> 01:19:45.450
takes place

01:19:46.190 --> 01:19:48.150
that the deliverance that will happen

01:19:48.150 --> 01:19:50.030
will almost be like in secret.

01:19:50.470 --> 01:19:52.690
We'll see our own personal growth.

01:19:53.110 --> 01:19:54.350
We'll see the victories

01:19:54.890 --> 01:19:56.210
before anyone else does.

01:19:56.390 --> 01:19:58.570
We'll be like, I come getting free of this.

01:19:58.910 --> 01:19:59.670
This is awesome.

01:19:59.850 --> 01:20:02.110
Because we spent time in the secret place.

01:20:02.230 --> 01:20:04.210
We spent time with you. We humbled ourselves.

01:20:04.530 --> 01:20:06.650
Well, say right out loud, Lord God, I was wrong on that.

01:20:07.190 --> 01:20:08.250
I humbled myself right now.

01:20:08.950 --> 01:20:10.690
Admit it. I'll call it spade to spade.

01:20:11.130 --> 01:20:11.630
That was wrong.

01:20:13.210 --> 01:20:15.290
And we won't fear the thing

01:20:15.290 --> 01:20:16.950
that's trying to keep the chaos

01:20:16.950 --> 01:20:17.830
in our life.

01:20:18.410 --> 01:20:20.590
We'll start addressing it by you.

01:20:26.280 --> 01:20:27.180
Thank you, Lord,

01:20:27.320 --> 01:20:28.900
that you're removing any of the

01:20:28.900 --> 01:20:30.840
one person better than the other.

01:20:31.700 --> 01:20:33.120
Feelings that have landed in this

01:20:33.120 --> 01:20:34.760
atmosphere at times. Get out.

01:20:36.760 --> 01:20:37.560
And we thank you

01:20:37.560 --> 01:20:39.980
that you rebuke the devourer.

01:20:40.620 --> 01:20:41.920
You're the one as we humble

01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:43.280
yourself. You get rid of the

01:20:43.280 --> 01:20:45.560
fleeing feeling. You get rid of the chaos.

01:20:45.960 --> 01:20:47.100
You get rid of those things

01:20:47.100 --> 01:20:48.380
that are blocking us from loving

01:20:48.380 --> 01:20:49.260
ourselves and others.

01:20:51.160 --> 01:20:52.540
It's true deliverance.

01:20:54.360 --> 01:20:54.880
Jesus,

01:20:57.400 --> 01:20:58.240
we welcome

01:20:58.240 --> 01:20:58.540
you.

01:21:00.620 --> 01:21:02.180
Thank you by the Spirit.

01:21:02.360 --> 01:21:04.360
You convict, you convey, you convince

01:21:04.360 --> 01:21:04.720
us.

01:21:05.980 --> 01:21:07.440
We want the whole meal deal.

01:21:08.260 --> 01:21:09.200
We want it all.

01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:12.240
As we bow the knee,

01:21:13.420 --> 01:21:14.340
anything that needs

01:21:14.340 --> 01:21:15.880
to be changed, we're open to.

01:21:22.060 --> 01:21:22.960
Thank you, Lord.

01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:26.060
Sanctify us as a church.

01:21:27.080 --> 01:21:29.060
Sanctify TBO. Sanctify

01:21:29.060 --> 01:21:30.800
the churches in the north

01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:32.220
that are being ministered to.

01:21:33.140 --> 01:21:34.280
Sanctify, Lord God.

01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:36.360
Do this in us.

01:21:37.280 --> 01:21:38.640
Do it in our leadership. Do it

01:21:38.640 --> 01:21:40.440
in my heart, my husband's heart.

01:21:41.360 --> 01:21:42.740
Any area, Lord God.

01:21:45.060 --> 01:21:46.580
We inspire sons and

01:21:46.580 --> 01:21:48.340
daughters of you. We are not

01:21:49.380 --> 01:21:50.480
under the king of

01:21:50.480 --> 01:21:50.800
pride.

01:21:56.770 --> 01:21:58.210
So once again a reminder,

01:21:59.410 --> 01:22:00.490
when you want deliverance from

01:22:00.490 --> 01:22:02.490
anything too, it's still in that

01:22:02.490 --> 01:22:04.570
principle that says, submit

01:22:04.570 --> 01:22:06.130
yourself therefore to God.

01:22:07.550 --> 01:22:08.730
Submit means to come

01:22:08.730 --> 01:22:09.810
under the mission of God.

01:22:11.110 --> 01:22:12.670
If you're over here casting demons

01:22:12.670 --> 01:22:14.670
and you don't even know what his mission is for you,

01:22:15.350 --> 01:22:16.550
you might want to back up the train

01:22:16.550 --> 01:22:18.050
and start submitting.

01:22:18.730 --> 01:22:20.670
I'm going to come under your mission, whatever it is

01:22:20.670 --> 01:22:22.410
God. That's what gives you the right

01:22:22.410 --> 01:22:23.110
to resist.

01:22:24.110 --> 01:22:26.630
I'm coming under your mission, your ways of doing things.

01:22:26.990 --> 01:22:28.270
This whole thing, my department

01:22:28.270 --> 01:22:30.030
at church, whatever zone that I'm in,

01:22:30.310 --> 01:22:32.490
I am not going to just sit here

01:22:32.490 --> 01:22:34.230
and try to elevate myself

01:22:34.230 --> 01:22:36.350
so I can feel loved. I am

01:22:36.350 --> 01:22:37.870
already loved by you.

01:22:40.050 --> 01:22:42.510
So lift off of us. We are under

01:22:42.510 --> 01:22:43.590
your mission

01:22:44.910 --> 01:22:45.970
in all things.

01:22:47.130 --> 01:22:48.350
In all things

01:22:48.350 --> 01:22:49.250
you are Lord.

01:22:50.930 --> 01:22:51.790
You are Lord.

01:22:53.170 --> 01:22:54.130
Thank you, Jesus.

01:22:56.090 --> 01:22:56.970
You all okay?

01:22:58.870 --> 01:23:00.230
Yeah. This is going to take some

01:23:00.230 --> 01:23:02.270
reminders, but I think as pastor

01:23:02.270 --> 01:23:04.390
Igor delivers what God has already told

01:23:04.390 --> 01:23:05.790
him when he was humbling himself.

01:23:09.240 --> 01:23:10.640
It's going to be meaty though.

01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:13.240
It's going to have to chew for a little bit.

01:23:13.640 --> 01:23:14.500
Take a little bit

01:23:14.500 --> 01:23:16.360
of digestion time.

01:23:17.300 --> 01:23:18.560
But it's going to change

01:23:18.560 --> 01:23:20.140
the entire face of this church.

01:23:20.600 --> 01:23:22.500
We actually can't go over

01:23:22.500 --> 01:23:23.360
to that new building

01:23:24.180 --> 01:23:26.120
until there's a change that happens here.

01:23:26.940 --> 01:23:28.480
Or we're prideful thinking

01:23:28.480 --> 01:23:30.520
we're all that. We got it. We just

01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:31.920
cross over and expand.

01:23:32.700 --> 01:23:34.340
Really? This is not a business

01:23:34.340 --> 01:23:34.760
first.

01:23:38.110 --> 01:23:39.450
This is us under God

01:23:40.230 --> 01:23:41.230
and he is the king.
