Have you ever wondered about the ancient battle between Christ and the antichrist and its implications for our world today? This episode embarks on a summary of this journey through history, starting from Genesis, to uncover the spiritual enmity that has influenced humanity for millennia. We dive into key biblical narratives, like Abel's blood sacrifice and Noah's flood, to understand how these stories echo the ongoing struggle for righteousness versus self-reliance. As we prepare for the ultimate battle, we explore the tactics of the enemy and our own strengths, urging us not to underestimate the power of Christ's sacrifice.

In a world plagued by corruption and diminishing faith, we tackle controversial issues within modern sports, such as the alleged bribery in the World Cup and disturbing claims of global child trafficking. Through a reflective lens, we critique the church's shift from spiritual leadership to a mere social organization and examine the loss of religious influence in institutions like our universities. Drawing parallels to biblical heroes like David and Elijah, we call for unwavering faith and courage in our leaders, challenging the current complacency and urging a return to spiritual authority.

As we confront contemporary idolatry, we highlight the disturbing parallels between ancient Israel's false gods and today's societal obsessions. With prophetic visions and personal testimonies, we affirm the necessity of divine miracles to drive true transformation, echoing Elijah's challenge to the prophets of Baal. The narrative culminates in a celebration of Jesus' eternal power and the promise of unprecedented miracles in the last days. Together, let's stand firm in our faith, recognizing the unstoppable might of God in a world teetering on the brink of spiritual conflict.

00:00:00.662 --> 00:00:02.327
Well, praise the Lord, praise the Lord.

00:00:02.327 --> 00:00:03.049
Praise the Lord.

00:00:03.049 --> 00:00:28.394
We are in the tail end of this long study that we've been doing concerning enmity with the seed, going back to Genesis, the third chapter after the fall of Adam and Eve, when God said to the enemy I will put enmity between your seed and her seed, amen.

00:00:28.394 --> 00:00:30.338
And that seed was Christ.

00:00:30.338 --> 00:00:35.932
Paul said in the book of Galatians that that seed is Christ.

00:00:35.932 --> 00:00:43.594
And when he talked about Abraham, god said he would bless Abraham and he would bless his seed.

00:00:43.594 --> 00:00:50.188
And Jesus says that seed wasn't many seeds, that seed was one seed and that seed was Christ.

00:00:50.188 --> 00:00:52.552
Amen, praise God.

00:00:53.161 --> 00:01:10.944
So we're talking about this ongoing 6,000 year battle between the Christ and the Antichrist Amen, battle between the Christ and the Antichrist Amen, and it has had multiple manifestations down through the centuries.

00:01:10.944 --> 00:01:31.206
And we're just in, as we're reviewing here, we're looking at how all of those different manifestations are coming, are being brought to bear in this century as this last great battle starts to shape up and we identify, we know what.

00:01:31.206 --> 00:01:33.751
We find out, what our role is in it.

00:01:33.751 --> 00:01:35.652
We find out what the enemy is doing.

00:01:35.652 --> 00:01:36.719
Amen.

00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:55.512
In the principles of war, it's absolutely important to know who you are and what your capabilities are, and it is as equally important to know your enemy and what his capabilities are.

00:01:55.512 --> 00:02:02.492
Amen, it doesn't do any good if you know what you can do, but you don't know what your enemy can do.

00:02:02.492 --> 00:02:03.941
Amen.

00:02:03.941 --> 00:02:09.860
And it doesn't do you any good if you know what the enemy can do and you don't have an accurate assessment of what you can do.

00:02:09.860 --> 00:02:15.290
I mean, both things are absolutely important.

00:02:15.290 --> 00:02:18.197
Praise God, hallelujah.

00:02:18.197 --> 00:02:29.070
So that's what we're trying to do, because all of these things that we've talked about historically are now rolling up into this last great battle.

00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:36.211
Last week we talked about four things the blood sacrifice that was typified in Abel's life.

00:02:36.211 --> 00:02:43.182
The importance of that blood sacrifice and how Antichrist consistently tries to minimize it.

00:02:43.182 --> 00:02:44.742
Christ consistently tries to minimize it.

00:02:44.742 --> 00:02:52.627
Amen, if we can, if if he can produce a church that minimizes the power of the blood, amen.

00:02:52.627 --> 00:02:56.169
Then he is going to get that church off track.

00:02:57.230 --> 00:03:14.882
I believe that there the Bible says and we've talked about this, we've talked about this at great length in this series that there, that in in in first John, it says that these three testify on the earth the water, the blood and the spirit.

00:03:14.882 --> 00:03:27.152
And if you misunderstand the doctrines of water baptism, spirit baptism, the application of the blood and the power of the water of the Word of God, amen.

00:03:27.152 --> 00:03:36.631
If you misunderstand that and you misteach it, your doctrine is going to be so far off that it's not worthwhile listening to Amen.

00:03:36.631 --> 00:03:50.774
It may start out relatively accurately, but because you've chosen to be inaccurate in one of those foundational teachings, you're going to veer off like that and so after time you're going to be way over here.

00:03:50.774 --> 00:04:01.306
It's not going to be recognizable and you're going to throw stones at what originally was the truth, because you're so far away from it you can't recognize it.

00:04:01.306 --> 00:04:05.264
Follow what I'm saying Hallelujah, praise God.

00:04:05.264 --> 00:04:06.715
It you can't recognize, follow what I'm saying hallelujah, praise god.

00:04:06.715 --> 00:04:07.037
So we've got.

00:04:07.037 --> 00:04:11.389
So the blood sacrifice of abel is absolutely essential.

00:04:11.730 --> 00:04:31.867
Noah showed us that the righteousness of god cannot be ignored and result in an earth that's filled with unbelief and violence, because what god did in that was he raised up a standard called the flood, and that flood serves as a backdrop for everything that god does.

00:04:31.867 --> 00:04:44.172
Okay at if, if the, when the enemy comes in comma like a flood, the spirit of god raises up a standard against him.

00:04:44.172 --> 00:04:50.211
Well, that flood that that scripture talks about, and that's the key scripture we've been using all through this.

00:04:50.211 --> 00:05:01.786
That flood is Noah's flood, one of the greatest catastrophes that's ever swept the planet, and God did that because his righteousness was ignored.

00:05:01.786 --> 00:05:21.389
Hallelujah, after the flood, there was a man named Nimrod, and that's where we looked at the futility and yet the persistence of the enemy lifting up works, righteousness as a way to be justified before God.

00:05:21.389 --> 00:05:28.887
In other words, we're not going to depend on the blood, we're not going to depend on the blood, we're not going to depend on Christ's righteousness, we're going to depend on our own works.

00:05:29.528 --> 00:05:35.685
Nimrod built a tower to heaven, did he not?

00:05:35.685 --> 00:05:40.975
And said I will ascend up into heaven and I'm going to deal with this God.

00:05:40.975 --> 00:05:43.209
That brought the flood, amen.

00:05:43.209 --> 00:05:44.654
And what did God do?

00:05:44.654 --> 00:05:47.581
God came down from heaven and destroyed that tower.

00:05:47.581 --> 00:05:56.295
But yet, listen, here we are today, 5,000 years later, amen.

00:05:56.295 --> 00:05:58.382
And what are they doing?

00:05:58.382 --> 00:06:06.793
They're building a tower in the Middle East that's going to be 3,200 feet high.

00:06:06.793 --> 00:06:11.642
It's going to be a full kilometer high.

00:06:11.642 --> 00:06:13.206
Glory to God.

00:06:13.206 --> 00:06:14.889
Six-tenths of a mile high.

00:06:15.651 --> 00:06:24.440
Well, you know, as soon as they get that and that one, somebody's going to want one that's a kilometer and a half, and pretty soon you're going to have one that's a mile high, 5,000 feet high.

00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:32.805
You know, I mean, listen, you could go down, you could go to how can I say this?

00:06:32.805 --> 00:06:41.048
You could be at the base floor and it'll be 110 degrees and you think you're going to die of heat, amen.

00:06:41.048 --> 00:06:44.891
And get up to the top of that building and it's an entirely different weather.

00:06:44.891 --> 00:06:47.851
Well, you're not hearing anything I'm saying.

00:06:47.851 --> 00:06:58.357
If you are in Costa Rica, you can be on the beach and it'll be the most miserable 95 to 100 degree weather you can ever imagine.

00:06:58.357 --> 00:07:00.697
It'll be so hot you can't stand it.

00:07:00.697 --> 00:07:05.310
Get in your car, drive an hour and a half, go up to San Jose.

00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:11.548
That is exactly 3,000 feet, one kilometer high.

00:07:11.548 --> 00:07:20.026
Entirely different weather High 60s, nice little breeze, don't break a sweat, perfect weather.

00:07:20.026 --> 00:07:29.084
That's what it would be like if you went down, got in an elevator and went up to the top of this new building, 3 000 feet high.

00:07:29.807 --> 00:07:50.826
They're still building the towers, because that's how they measure this thing called works, righteousness, hallelujah, and finally, we talked about abraham and the kings of the earth resisting the man of god, the, the power of God, the rule of God, the righteousness of God and all these things.

00:07:50.826 --> 00:07:51.949
So we're going to pick it up today.

00:07:51.949 --> 00:07:56.428
We're going to look at a few more of these things that we studied.

00:07:56.428 --> 00:08:14.487
Moving on to Moses Moses, we looked at how the effect of Babylonian perversion and institutional witchcraft formed Moses' first 40 years.

00:08:14.487 --> 00:08:27.291
The Bible says, both in the New Testament and the Old, that Moses was well-trained in all of the arts and all of the wisdom of the Egyptians.

00:08:27.291 --> 00:08:44.413
That didn't mean he was just well trained militarily, which he was, nor was he just well trained in architecture, which he probably was, but he was also well trained in the religious practices of the Egyptians.

00:08:44.533 --> 00:08:47.679
And the religious practices of the Egyptians were.

00:08:47.679 --> 00:09:02.313
They were the direct line recipients of what came out of Babylon, this abhorrent religion of a father, mother and child.

00:09:02.313 --> 00:09:06.236
It had a name in Babylon, it acquired.

00:09:06.236 --> 00:09:12.240
They acquired different names in Egypt, but they were the same thing, meant many of the same gods.

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:32.269
It was the same religious system and Moses was trained in this religious system until, at the age of 40, moses struck down an Egyptian for killing one of the children of Israel, and Moses had to flee for his life.

00:09:32.269 --> 00:09:44.933
He fled to the east, to a land named Midian, and there he met a woman whose father was the priest of Midian.

00:09:44.933 --> 00:09:48.581
His name was Jethro.

00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:48.942
Remember all this.

00:09:48.942 --> 00:09:58.144
I'm not going to go all over this, but this is important Because he spent 40 years in Egypt learning the practices and the religion.

00:09:58.144 --> 00:10:17.302
Now, remember, the same religious practice in Egypt was the one that, when Moses went back, those sorcerers and those wizards in Egypt could do what Moses did, up to a point, they weren't.

00:10:17.302 --> 00:10:19.590
We're not talking about, you know, slouches.

00:10:19.590 --> 00:10:27.394
We're talking about professional warlocks, witches at the highest level of government.

00:10:27.394 --> 00:10:36.572
They were right there in Pharaoh's presence and they were pulling off magic that would astound anybody.

00:10:36.572 --> 00:10:39.326
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

00:10:40.539 --> 00:11:22.659
And Moses, during his 40 years of being in Egypt, by one of the few priests of the order of Melchizedek that was left on the planet, remember this that Abraham had many sons.

00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:33.528
He didn't just have Isaac and he didn't just have Ishmael, but he had many sons after Sarah died, and one of those sons was Midian.

00:11:33.528 --> 00:11:49.827
And Midian was raised up by Abraham and raised up under the influence of Melchizedek, so that when he started his own people and they had their own priesthood amen, this would have been what priesthood?

00:11:49.827 --> 00:11:51.490
The priesthood of Midian?

00:11:51.490 --> 00:11:54.666
No, it would have been the priesthood of Melchizedek.

00:11:54.666 --> 00:11:56.331
It was the only priesthood they knew.

00:11:56.331 --> 00:12:00.528
They learned it from Abraham, they learned it from Melchizedek.

00:12:00.528 --> 00:12:04.442
They turned around and took it to the countries that they developed and started.

00:12:05.445 --> 00:12:08.590
And here we are some what, 400 years later?

00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:25.919
And here's Moses, and he needs to be delivered and he needs to be taught and he needs to be prepared to meet the living God in the burning bush and then, consequently, to meet him again at the top of Mount Sinai.

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:28.907
Are you hearing, praise God?

00:12:28.907 --> 00:12:38.769
So for 40 years we had to get Egypt out of Moses and we had to get the revelation of Melchizedek in him.

00:12:38.769 --> 00:12:41.032
It took 40 years to do this.

00:12:41.032 --> 00:12:52.210
So if you think people are just going to get instantaneously, wham delivered, amen, they need to be discipled, they need to be mentored, they need to be taught.

00:12:52.210 --> 00:12:53.793
Glory to God.

00:12:54.559 --> 00:13:07.631
There was institutional witchcraft and Babylonian perversion rampant in Egypt and Moses had to come out from among them and be separate so that he could go back in.

00:13:07.631 --> 00:13:12.153
He had to be delivered so that he could be a deliverer.

00:13:12.153 --> 00:13:14.159
And we have in our world today.

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:25.447
We have a world that is permeated with witchcraft, permeated with drugs and sex, perversion and sports.

00:13:25.447 --> 00:13:27.254
Let me give you an example.

00:13:27.254 --> 00:13:31.325
I've told you this story before, but it's a great story, amen.

00:13:31.825 --> 00:13:41.446
I was down in Costa Rica and I was trying to talk to them about what you don't know can hurt you.

00:13:41.446 --> 00:13:45.552
I said I've been over to your houses on Sunday afternoon.

00:13:45.552 --> 00:13:56.548
That is not a good time to go over and have fellowship with a pastor because everybody's staring around the television watching the local soccer team, do you know?

00:13:56.548 --> 00:14:00.003
And they're all living and dying by this minor league.

00:14:00.003 --> 00:14:07.298
I mean really minor league, I mean minor, minor, minor, minor, minor league, city level soccer team in Costa Rica.

00:14:07.298 --> 00:14:09.869
I mean you'd think they were World Cup level.

00:14:09.869 --> 00:14:23.326
They are not World Cup level, but Costa Rica had a pretty good soccer team that year and they thought they were going to go to the World Cup, you know, and all that kind of stuff, and they were just totally consumed with it's all they talked about.

00:14:23.326 --> 00:14:27.511
And then, you know, they would just watch it, you know, and then go on and on.

00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.308
I said I said mark my words.

00:14:30.308 --> 00:15:04.231
You don't believe me, but I am telling you that the World Cup event, along with other things like it Super Bowls, olympics, anything that has this periodic thing where billions of people have their attention glued to it it is under the control of demonic powers and they are programming people as they watch it, because it's the one opportunity they have to get everybody looking at the same thing.

00:15:04.231 --> 00:15:11.552
And listen, folks, this is not NASCAR driving at 200 miles an hour.

00:15:11.552 --> 00:15:14.539
These are guys just running up and down a field.

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:40.071
And so, while you're semi-hypnotized by this movement like this, they're programming you, and they're not programming you to go to church, they're programming you into perversion, to magic, to witchcraft, and you'll never know it, because it's all subliminal, it's all stuff that you can't see or hear, but it's going into your brains.

00:15:40.840 --> 00:16:00.913
I said you don't believe me, but I'm going to prophesy to you that in this cycle of the World's Cup, there will be a world scandal, and you will see that what I'm telling you is right, that it is thoroughly corrupt, it is thoroughly immoral, it is thoroughly bribed, it is thoroughly paid for.

00:16:00.913 --> 00:16:08.885
So there's not a, there's not a single thing that goes on in that whole thing, that's not scripted and it's not already decided.

00:16:08.885 --> 00:16:25.139
And I told them who was going to win, and I said I don't know anything about it, but I'll tell you who's going to win, because it doesn't depend on who has the most skill, it depends on who has the biggest market share of TV and how they want to draw it.

00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:35.988
So then you know, I said I said I said tomorrow I think it was on a Saturday I said tomorrow you will be in front of your televisions going like this.

00:16:35.988 --> 00:16:47.101
Because you're not believing a single word, I say that I am coming back when this is, when the world cup is all over, and I'm going to tell you exactly what happened and how I prophesied.

00:16:47.101 --> 00:16:54.774
So when many months goes by, this wasn't like in the middle of the thing and I was forecasting, you know, like a forecast guy.

00:16:54.774 --> 00:16:57.461
Well, I think this team's going to this was months.

00:16:58.923 --> 00:17:09.175
During that time, the World Cup suffered the greatest disgrace and just expose in modern sports history.

00:17:09.175 --> 00:17:14.152
The whole kit and caboodle of the thing was shown to be corrupt.

00:17:14.152 --> 00:17:19.392
They were taking bribes in the multiplied hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:17:19.392 --> 00:17:21.586
You know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:17:21.586 --> 00:17:23.086
It just went on and on and on.

00:17:23.086 --> 00:17:29.666
People got fired, you know, all over the place, and it didn't implode.

00:17:29.666 --> 00:17:36.067
They still went ahead and had the World Cup After all that collusion and everything else.

00:17:36.067 --> 00:17:41.307
Everybody lost their jobs, they still had it and the team that I prophesied won it.

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:55.809
So I went back down there and I said you remember that few months ago I told you about all that I said it all happened because it's just full of witchcraft and full of demonic activity.

00:17:55.809 --> 00:18:02.106
They looked at me a little bit more serious but they didn't give up their Sunday afternoons of looking at that stuff.

00:18:02.106 --> 00:18:06.123
Amen, but that's what I'm talking about.

00:18:06.123 --> 00:18:09.442
I'm not even going to get into polite.

00:18:09.442 --> 00:18:12.984
I'm in the middle of polite, you know mixed company.

00:18:13.046 --> 00:18:18.827
So I'm not going to get into all of the details about where 350,000 children disappeared to.

00:18:18.827 --> 00:18:51.369
But let me tell you something it would shock you beyond all belief If you know what goes in, what goes on in the hidden basements and hidden caves and hidden locked caverns underneath some houses where these children are trained and groomed and programmed and given drugs and raised up in a pure satanic environment of perversion and corruption.

00:18:51.369 --> 00:18:58.298
Environment of perversion and corruption.

00:18:58.298 --> 00:18:59.381
And it's happening to the tune.

00:18:59.381 --> 00:19:00.763
It's just not happening in this country to 300,000.

00:19:00.763 --> 00:19:06.058
It's happening all over the planet when these children are being taken and stolen and sold.

00:19:06.058 --> 00:19:16.681
Europe is just full of them, the United States is full of them, latin America is full of them, and that's the situation we are confronted.

00:19:16.681 --> 00:19:18.767
We live in that world.

00:19:18.767 --> 00:19:23.159
You may not think you live in that world, but you live in that world.

00:19:23.941 --> 00:19:30.240
There are people right here in this county that have them living in their basements.

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.794
If you think they they're not, you're delusional.

00:19:33.794 --> 00:19:38.615
In the next County over it's even worse than in the next County over there.

00:19:38.615 --> 00:19:39.499
You couldn't even count.

00:19:39.499 --> 00:19:40.865
I mean, we're talking.

00:19:40.865 --> 00:19:41.488
We're talking.

00:19:41.488 --> 00:19:46.344
We live in the fourth major metropolitan area in the United States.

00:19:46.344 --> 00:19:47.787
What do you think's going on here?

00:19:47.787 --> 00:19:49.880
Glory to God, let's go on.

00:19:51.163 --> 00:19:59.564
We looked at Joshua and we looked at what happened when righteous authority was perverted by the sins of the Amorites.

00:19:59.564 --> 00:20:13.426
Sins of the Amorites were allowed to go on for centuries until the Lord said that their sin was full, and then I could send my people to battle against the Amorites, being led by Joshua.

00:20:13.426 --> 00:20:28.640
But the fact that the sin of the Amorites, which was a degradation and a perversion that was off the scale amen that that could happen happens, and it happens in this day.

00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:34.828
Why do we live in a world that is totally perverse and totally corrupt?

00:20:34.828 --> 00:20:35.816
Why do we do that?

00:20:35.816 --> 00:20:39.762
Because the church has no power, amen.

00:20:39.762 --> 00:20:50.182
The church has no authority, the church has no voice, and when the church raises its voice, it raises its voice in this weak, pathetic.

00:20:50.182 --> 00:21:06.939
I mean, did we not see this just this past week of some bishop you know, publicly upbraiding the president publicly, and they think that has some power and they think that has some voice.

00:21:06.939 --> 00:21:07.820
It has no power.

00:21:07.820 --> 00:21:09.084
It has no voice.

00:21:09.084 --> 00:21:16.659
Nobody pays attention because nobody's paid any attention to those folk for a long time.

00:21:16.659 --> 00:21:17.800
Amen.

00:21:17.800 --> 00:21:38.846
They gave up their seat of authority, they gave up their place, their voice, and they gave up their voice when they quit believing in the authority of the word of God and the authority of God's rule and reign and they decided they were going to be a social organization.

00:21:38.846 --> 00:21:48.826
When they decided they were going to be a social organization, they vacated their seat and became no one in the conversation.

00:21:48.826 --> 00:21:51.059
Do you not hear what I'm saying?

00:21:51.842 --> 00:22:00.463
Harvard University was once the training grounds for all ministers in the Eastern United States.

00:22:00.463 --> 00:22:03.009
Now, this was several hundred years ago.

00:22:03.009 --> 00:22:17.018
But when Harvard was founded, it was founded to be a training facility for ministers be a training facility for ministers.

00:22:17.018 --> 00:22:17.338
Now look at it.

00:22:17.338 --> 00:22:17.780
Why did that happen?

00:22:17.780 --> 00:22:20.048
Why did that happen to a place that was founded to be a training place for ministers?

00:22:20.048 --> 00:22:21.192
Why did it happen?

00:22:21.192 --> 00:22:24.577
Because they willingly lost their voice.

00:22:24.577 --> 00:22:29.163
They willingly lost their influence in society.

00:22:30.025 --> 00:22:57.804
Up until the beginning of the 1900s, a great number of learning institutions were started by churches, hospitals were started by churches, orphanages were started by churches, places for people that were destitute, poor, indigent women that had lost their husbands, all those kinds of things.

00:22:57.804 --> 00:23:01.605
Those facilities were run and started by churches.

00:23:01.605 --> 00:23:10.925
By the 1900s, those things were run by the government, and you know what Ronald Reagan said about the government the nine worst words that you'll ever want to hear is hi, I'm from the government.

00:23:10.925 --> 00:23:14.357
And I nine worst words that you'll ever want to hear is hi, I'm from the government, I'm here to help you.

00:23:14.357 --> 00:23:20.837
You know, once the government took over those things, they became useless.

00:23:20.837 --> 00:23:28.920
They took over the churches, they took over the schools, they took over the orphanages, they took over the hospitals Glory to God.

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:37.762
And so now they're run by church boards that have no voice for God because they've severed their connection with God.

00:23:38.536 --> 00:24:38.457
By the time that we have the Amorites morph down and intermingle with the Philistines and they're living in the area that was called Philistine over now, where we're having all this trouble in the Gaza Strip and Gath and all of those places to deliberately intermingle with the bloodline that came down from Noah through his son Shem, through Abraham, through Isaac, through the children of Israel, through Judah and now to David, trying to disrupt that bloodline by killing David amen and establishing Goliath as the king over the people of Israel.

00:24:38.457 --> 00:24:41.363
Now, what would have happened had that happened?

00:24:41.363 --> 00:24:52.266
Had that happened, israel would have been co-mingled with this satanic bloodline and they would have been obliterated out of history.

00:24:52.266 --> 00:24:58.080
Nobody would have ever heard of anything I'm talking about today.

00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:06.798
There would have been no history of the Jewish people, there would be no Bible, there would be none of that.

00:25:06.798 --> 00:25:18.820
It was totally up to David to stand in the gap, not only to protect his life, not only protect his destiny, but to protect the destiny of the people, israel.

00:25:18.820 --> 00:25:40.464
That's why, in all the future, in all time, there will only be one king of Israel, and his name is David Amen, because David stood in the gap for his destiny and stood in the gap for the destiny of his people and stood in the gap for the arrival of the Messiah.

00:25:41.205 --> 00:25:44.519
Now, did a young 15, 16-year-old boy know all these things?

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:45.480
Probably not.

00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:47.905
Did Samuel know all these things?

00:25:47.905 --> 00:25:49.028
Probably so.

00:25:49.028 --> 00:25:51.962
David's just 15 or 16.

00:25:51.962 --> 00:25:53.730
He's looking at Saul's daughter.

00:25:53.730 --> 00:25:56.878
He hears that if somebody kills Goliath, he gets the girl.

00:25:56.878 --> 00:25:59.704
This is good stuff, amen.

00:25:59.704 --> 00:26:02.154
What's wrong with getting the king's daughter.

00:26:02.154 --> 00:26:03.897
You know this is how David's thinking.

00:26:03.897 --> 00:26:05.359
Well, we're done.

00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.023
I'm just being real here, men.

00:26:08.064 --> 00:26:24.550
But David stood in the gap and stopped Goliath when Goliath had totally demobilized the Israeli army and filled them full of unfaith fear.

00:26:24.550 --> 00:26:28.503
He just filled them full of, you know, unbelief.

00:26:28.503 --> 00:26:30.742
They were shaking in their shoes.

00:26:30.742 --> 00:26:34.104
Every one of them was scared to death.

00:26:34.104 --> 00:26:37.539
Nobody was going to go out and fight Goliath.

00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:39.284
He's almost 10 feet tall.

00:26:39.284 --> 00:26:41.556
You couldn't even touch his armor.

00:26:41.556 --> 00:26:43.219
It was too heavy to bear.

00:26:43.219 --> 00:26:57.480
And yet this boy, david, when it was all over, picked up his sword, which was probably bigger than he was, and lifted it up and cut the devil's head off.

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.080
Glory to God.

00:26:58.080 --> 00:27:01.969
We always think the big thing is the stones, and the stone was important.

00:27:01.969 --> 00:27:05.280
Stone was buried right in his forehead.

00:27:05.280 --> 00:27:11.578
But David went up and picked up that massive sword, lifted it up and cut off his head.

00:27:11.578 --> 00:27:13.563
Glory to God.

00:27:14.263 --> 00:27:16.048
Where are the Davids in this age?

00:27:16.048 --> 00:27:17.738
Where are the Davids in the church?

00:27:17.738 --> 00:27:29.308
Where are the Davids that are going to stand up and say not on our watch, this is not going to happen on our watch, because we know a God who is more powerful.

00:27:29.308 --> 00:27:32.980
See, israel did not know that God.

00:27:32.980 --> 00:27:35.346
I wish I could preach this.

00:27:35.346 --> 00:27:37.215
They did not know that God.

00:27:37.215 --> 00:27:45.477
They knew a God that had been brought to them by Eli and his family until Samuel came along.

00:27:45.477 --> 00:27:50.765
And then there was Saul, and he corrupted this whole thing as well.

00:27:50.765 --> 00:27:54.369
So they had no vision of how great this God was.

00:27:54.369 --> 00:28:05.067
But David did, because he said this God that saved me from the lion and from the bear is gonna deliver this uncircumcised Philistine into my hands.

00:28:05.067 --> 00:28:09.261
Where are the Davids that are gonna stand up and say God is gonna deliver?

00:28:09.261 --> 00:28:12.144
I said God is gonna deliver, hallelujah.

00:28:14.115 --> 00:28:17.903
And so we move on and we see what God did in the days of Elijah.

00:28:17.903 --> 00:28:25.898
When Elijah, thinking that he was the only prophet, left in Israel Amen.

00:28:25.898 --> 00:28:34.471
You remember the story God sent him to raise up a standard against Jezebel and against Ahab.

00:28:34.471 --> 00:28:56.894
Ahab had gone off, king of Israel and gone off and married a Sidonian, I think, witch, and she came back and basically took over the government and sent him running scared Amen.

00:28:56.894 --> 00:28:57.376
And here comes Elijah.

00:28:57.376 --> 00:28:57.858
You remember the story?

00:28:57.858 --> 00:29:02.816
Elijah's praying There'd been a famine for three and a half years and Elijah's praying for rain.

00:29:02.816 --> 00:29:11.464
And he looks up and he sees a cloud, the shape of a man's hand, size of a man's hand, and he begins to pray more fervently.

00:29:11.464 --> 00:29:21.868
And then he goes, tells his servant he said go tell Ahab that I hear the sound of abundance of rain.

00:29:21.868 --> 00:29:24.882
Tell him to prepare, tell him I'm coming to see.

00:29:25.885 --> 00:29:42.929
Next thing we know, elijah's gathered the whole bunch of the prophets of Baal to this place on Mount Carmel, where there had been at some point an altar built to Jehovah.

00:29:42.929 --> 00:29:45.782
And Elijah rebuilt the altar.

00:29:45.782 --> 00:29:57.724
He rebuilt it with stones, he dug a trench around it, put the wood in order on the altar and then said come on, you guys go first.

00:29:57.724 --> 00:30:03.192
Let's see if you can get your God to consume this sacrifice, come on.

00:30:03.192 --> 00:30:11.125
And so he just stood there and he taunted them, he made fun of them, he made fun of them and he made fun of their God.

00:30:11.125 --> 00:30:13.201
He just let them have it.

00:30:13.201 --> 00:30:19.563
And when they were all done, they'd been cutting themselves and mutilating themselves and doing all this kind of stuff.

00:30:19.563 --> 00:30:23.003
And God said okay, now step aside.

00:30:23.003 --> 00:30:25.161
Elijah said just step aside.

00:30:25.161 --> 00:30:33.949
I said let the God, who is the God who can respond by fire, let him respond by fire.

00:30:33.949 --> 00:30:39.507
Let this God, who is God over Israel, let him respond by fire.

00:30:39.507 --> 00:30:52.806
And you know the story Fire came down from heaven and swallowed the whole thing up, swallowed the water up, swallowed the dirt up, swallowed the rocks up, swallowed the wood, the sacrifice, everything.

00:30:52.806 --> 00:30:54.921
And Elijah wasn't done yet.

00:30:54.921 --> 00:31:01.505
He said go, seize those prophets of Baal and bring them here and we're going to execute them, glory to God.

00:31:02.296 --> 00:31:03.340
What happened that day?

00:31:03.340 --> 00:31:21.326
Well, all over Israel, these deceptive idols that Jezebel had brought back in, idols to Baal, idols to other false gods in the area, had been raised up and they were worshipped and they were idolized.

00:31:21.326 --> 00:31:44.542
In 1993, god gave me a prophetic word and said that in the United States, do you remember in Israel, how they set up two places, two places they could go and worship, two places where they raised up an idol to Baal, one in Samaria and one in Dan.

00:31:44.542 --> 00:31:49.156
So it was easy People in the north could go over here and people in the south could go over here.

00:31:49.156 --> 00:31:50.659
They didn't have to go to Jerusalem.

00:31:50.659 --> 00:31:52.142
You know the story.

00:31:52.142 --> 00:32:05.445
He said there's two twin calves that have been raised up, one on the East Coast to government and education and one on the West Coast to sports and entertainment.

00:32:05.445 --> 00:32:11.583
He said and the people of the United States are falling down and worshiping these idols.

00:32:11.583 --> 00:32:13.721
He said I'm bringing an end to it.

00:32:13.721 --> 00:32:22.234
He said, because you can't worship two things you can only worship me, or else you're going to be worshiping an idol.

00:32:23.036 --> 00:32:42.265
And that's what was happening in the days of Elijah was the people of Israel were going after false gods, but yet, when confronted with the reality of the God that Elijah served amen they couldn't compete, they couldn't do anything.

00:32:42.265 --> 00:32:50.439
And so those prophets of Baal were brought before Elijah and executed, and the people were crying at the top of their voice.

00:32:50.439 --> 00:32:52.740
And the people were crying at the top of their voice Jehovah is God.

00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:56.803
Jehovah is God, jehovah is God.

00:32:56.803 --> 00:33:01.886
Because of a miracle that the prophet of God did, amen.

00:33:01.886 --> 00:33:07.671
The people were turned away from idols to the true and the living God.

00:33:07.671 --> 00:33:15.255
Now, this is what's going to happen in these days Amen.

00:33:15.255 --> 00:33:16.277
This is what's going to happen in these days, amen.

00:33:16.297 --> 00:33:24.130
When we have a nation that is consumed in idolatry and consumed in false worship, it's going to take major miracles of God to turn them around.

00:33:24.130 --> 00:33:28.785
Now, as David and I were talking this morning, the enemy is going to retaliate.

00:33:28.785 --> 00:33:35.198
Just as they did in the days of Moses, they countered miracle for miracle, miracle for miracle.

00:33:35.198 --> 00:33:44.144
You can expect that to happen, up to a point when God begins to do miracles that have never been done before and they don't know how to do them.

00:33:44.144 --> 00:33:45.871
Oh, you're not hearing me.

00:33:45.871 --> 00:33:55.363
You see, the devil can copy and replicate miracles that have been done and he knows how to pull them out of his hat.

00:33:55.363 --> 00:34:08.648
Okay, so if the church knows how to pull a rabbit out of the hat, the devil can figure out how to pull two rabbits out of the hat, but he can't figure out how to produce rabbits out of nothing.

00:34:08.648 --> 00:34:14.445
He's going to have to use deception, he's going to have to use some, some skills that he has.

00:34:14.445 --> 00:34:15.748
Okay, you get what I'm saying.

00:34:15.748 --> 00:34:17.251
He can only do what's known.

00:34:17.251 --> 00:34:18.295
Amen.

00:34:18.295 --> 00:34:25.168
God can do what is not known, what has never been known and never been manifested.

00:34:25.168 --> 00:34:40.788
And when those kind of miracles can be produced by the people who are full of this God, then the world will begin to turn away from the idols and turn to the living God.

00:34:40.788 --> 00:34:43.603
This is the pattern that Elijah teaches us.

00:34:43.603 --> 00:34:45.086
Oh my God.

00:34:45.574 --> 00:34:52.164
Malachi says that in the end of days, the spirit of Elijah is going to come back upon the people.

00:34:52.164 --> 00:34:55.757
Amen, that's what it says.

00:34:55.757 --> 00:34:56.458
Amen, now, that was all.

00:34:56.458 --> 00:35:00.786
That was a partial prophecy toward John the Baptist.

00:35:00.786 --> 00:35:17.956
Amen, but that goes beyond that, because that same spirit is the spirit that announces the Christ, announces the Christ.

00:35:17.956 --> 00:35:22.563
That same spirit is the spirit that always says Jesus is here, jesus is here, jesus is here, jesus is here, jesus is here.

00:35:22.563 --> 00:35:23.945
And Jesus is doing.

00:35:23.945 --> 00:35:26.289
He's feeding the 5,000.

00:35:26.289 --> 00:35:33.487
He's raising the dead, he's healing the sick, he's prophesying, he's preaching, he's, jesus is here.

00:35:33.487 --> 00:35:39.182
That's that spirit of John the Baptist and he can't help himself by doing miracles.

00:35:39.182 --> 00:35:40.666
Glory to God.

00:35:41.407 --> 00:35:51.690
In this day when institutionalized idolatry has taken over, we are, you know, you can't, you can't.

00:35:51.690 --> 00:35:54.817
I don't know what I haven't, I have.

00:35:54.817 --> 00:36:10.088
I don't know anything about all this stuff, but people just get consumed with movies and movie stars and entertainers and music people and all this kind of stuff, totally consumed in it.

00:36:10.088 --> 00:36:12.530
There's only one antidote for that.

00:36:12.530 --> 00:36:14.251
It's not listen.

00:36:14.251 --> 00:36:27.478
You're not going to fix that I hate to say this, but you're not going to fix that by going out and trying to win people to come to your church and call it evangelism.

00:36:27.478 --> 00:36:27.599
Amen.

00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:29.579
You better have a miracle in your hands, amen.

00:36:29.579 --> 00:36:30.081
You better.

00:36:30.081 --> 00:36:33.242
Have a miracle in your hands, you better.

00:36:33.563 --> 00:36:36.666
Because their faith is not saving.

00:36:36.666 --> 00:36:45.492
Faith does not depend upon the words of men's wisdom, but it depends on the power of God.

00:36:45.492 --> 00:36:59.358
I mean, you better see, some say I was not saved, I had.

00:36:59.358 --> 00:36:59.478
I had.

00:36:59.478 --> 00:37:04.411
I had years and years and years of training in religion, but it was when God saved my life, when my head went through a windshield, amen, that made me give my life to God.

00:37:04.411 --> 00:37:05.775
Amen.

00:37:05.775 --> 00:37:09.780
It was the power of God that led me unto salvation.

00:37:09.780 --> 00:37:12.425
Amen, hallelujah.

00:37:12.525 --> 00:37:17.635
My wife was raised in a staunch Baptist church, amen.

00:37:17.635 --> 00:37:23.606
But she didn't get saved until Jesus came and filled her room Amen.

00:37:23.606 --> 00:37:29.081
With a blinding light and poured warm honey and oil all over her.

00:37:29.081 --> 00:37:31.344
That's when she got saved.

00:37:31.344 --> 00:37:38.579
She got saved by the power, not by religion, but by the power, amen.

00:37:38.579 --> 00:37:52.179
This country is not going to come back from institutionalized idolatry except by one thing, and that's Elijah standing up and saying let the God who answers by fire be God, hallelujah.

00:37:52.179 --> 00:38:07.304
They can try all this stuff that they want to do, and they will try it, but there's going to rise up somebody or some group of somebodies, or many somebodies, and say let the God who responds by fire be God.

00:38:07.304 --> 00:38:10.880
Hallelujah, glory be to Jesus.

00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:13.699
Shortly then, and after, hallelujah, glory be to Jesus.

00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:28.666
Shortly thereafter, israel was taken into captivity, into Babylon, and in those series of messages we looked at what happens when men are exalted to a place of worship.

00:38:28.666 --> 00:38:41.967
The example there was Nebuchadnezzar, who lifted a giant gold statue up in the plains of Shinar in Babylon, amen, and commanded everybody to fall down and worship.

00:38:41.967 --> 00:38:43.818
Well, you know the story.

00:38:43.818 --> 00:38:53.565
Daniel didn't fall down, neither did the three Hebrew children, and when they threw the three Hebrew children into the fire, they said how many did we throw in here?

00:38:53.565 --> 00:38:57.081
Oh, king, live forever.

00:38:57.081 --> 00:38:59.041
We threw three in here.

00:38:59.041 --> 00:39:06.846
Well, how is it that I'm leaning over the balcony and I'm seeing four, and the one that's the fourth looks like he is the son of God.

00:39:06.846 --> 00:39:08.360
Glory to God.

00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:09.860
What's going on here?

00:39:09.860 --> 00:39:11.244
Praise God.

00:39:11.335 --> 00:39:12.606
We talked about Daniel interpreting the dreams.

00:39:12.606 --> 00:39:13.695
We talked about Daniel interpreting the dreams.

00:39:13.695 --> 00:39:15.557
We talked about Daniel's prophecies.

00:39:15.557 --> 00:39:31.947
We talked about what it meant to have the seeds stolen out of Judah and placed in a foreign land, placed back into Babylon, Amen.

00:39:31.947 --> 00:39:36.331
And this is what happens when the church vacates its seat of authority.

00:39:36.331 --> 00:39:54.126
Jerusalem was always the seat of authority for the sea and when Jerusalem got taken out, taken back to Judea along with the ark, along with the vessels, along with all the things that they stole, it was taken out of its seat of authority.

00:39:54.126 --> 00:39:58.204
When the church vacates its seat of authority, it has no power.

00:39:59.106 --> 00:40:11.380
One of the things I tell ministers when I teach them the Bible says that you have to teach people how to conduct themselves in the house of God, and that includes ministers.

00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:20.778
I said you need to establish in your house a place where you sit and nobody sits there.

00:40:20.778 --> 00:40:24.971
The kids don't come around and play and go sit in that seat.

00:40:24.971 --> 00:40:27.688
You can't sit visitors in that seat.

00:40:27.688 --> 00:40:29.242
You can't, you don't.

00:40:29.242 --> 00:40:37.132
That's your seat of authority and you don't give up that seat of authority to anyone unless God tells you to do it.

00:40:37.132 --> 00:40:37.800
So you don't.

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:44.764
You know, and your pulpit is an extension of that seat of authority, so you don't ask anybody to come.

00:40:44.764 --> 00:40:48.452
That cannot bring honor to your seat.

00:40:48.452 --> 00:41:03.929
Well, you know, the way it's done in many places is that if you invite me to your church, I'm going to invite you to my church, doesn't matter what they preach over there, doesn't matter whether you should have gone over there in the first place, doesn't matter in any of those things.

00:41:03.929 --> 00:41:14.333
You can't yield over your seat of authority without permission from the Holy Ghost, because he is the one that grants it to you.

00:41:14.333 --> 00:41:16.942
He is the one that establishes that for you.

00:41:17.742 --> 00:41:30.409
Israel, because of their disobedience, their willful disobedience of keeping the seven-year rest year, because they deliberately did not keep it.

00:41:30.409 --> 00:41:36.311
God sent them away so that he could return strength to the land.

00:41:36.311 --> 00:41:40.291
Because they willfully vacated their seat of authority.

00:41:40.291 --> 00:41:42.708
They were almost exterminated.

00:41:42.708 --> 00:41:58.943
If it had not been for the singular bravery of Daniel to preserve his people in the midst of all of these things that happened in the book of Daniel, they would have been exterminated.

00:41:58.943 --> 00:42:14.746
But he was able to hold strong until the Persians came in and took over and kicked the Babylonians out and they took over the city and they let the Jews go.

00:42:15.588 --> 00:42:16.670
It was David's.

00:42:16.670 --> 00:42:19.275
David is the one voice.

00:42:19.275 --> 00:42:20.621
Everybody hear this now.

00:42:20.621 --> 00:42:24.266
David was the one voice for God.

00:42:24.266 --> 00:42:42.385
That was consistent the entire 70 years of their sojourn and because of his consistency and because of his steadfastness, israel was preserved and they were sent back and the seed returned to its seat of authority.

00:42:42.385 --> 00:42:46.230
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:42:46.230 --> 00:42:49.534
We need to know these things.

00:42:49.534 --> 00:43:05.588
We need to know these things because this is the way that these things work now, because the enemy would like to take the seed out of its seat of authority Amen and rob it of its voice.

00:43:05.588 --> 00:43:07.911
How does that happen?

00:43:07.911 --> 00:43:30.467
It infiltrates the place that you're at and causes you, just like in the last example, to be swallowed up in institutional idolatry, in perversion, in all kinds of things that the enemy would get you tied up in and steals your voice so that your voice cannot be heard among the noise.

00:43:31.929 --> 00:43:38.126
My Bible tells me, in Psalm 91, that we are going to be delivered out of the noisome pestilence.

00:43:38.126 --> 00:43:39.409
Amen.

00:43:39.409 --> 00:43:49.822
We are going to be given a voice that is going to sound loud over the pestilence and we're going to have a voice that is going to be like a trumpet.

00:43:49.822 --> 00:43:58.322
Glory to God, hallelujah, because we are not going to give up our seat, praise God.

00:43:58.322 --> 00:44:03.012
I said we're not going to give up our seat, we're going to keep our voice.

00:44:03.012 --> 00:44:15.907
It's going to be clear, it's going to be a clarion sound, it's going to be a sound that reverberates and it's going to be a sound that sends the enemy into hiding.

00:44:15.907 --> 00:44:18.251
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:44:18.251 --> 00:44:20.255
Well, praise the Lord.

00:44:20.255 --> 00:44:23.188
Let's do one more today.

00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:36.001
Let's look at what we talked about in review, about Jesus and in this life of Jesus being sent to the planet.

00:44:36.001 --> 00:44:42.146
We saw the final workings of the Antichrist to exterminate the seed.

00:44:42.146 --> 00:45:00.873
In this case, it wasn't just enough to cause the seed to be put out and deceived and polluted, taken its authority away, but in this case it was decided to exterminate the seed.

00:45:00.873 --> 00:45:31.981
We studied the life of Jesus from the time that he was brought forth as a baby into his crucifixion, resurrection, glorification, all of those things, even beyond a little bit into the New Testament church, and tried again.

00:45:31.981 --> 00:45:42.565
Tried when he was first born, tried when he sent the enemies of Herod or the armies of Herod to find him in Bethlehem, when he was taken into Egypt, when he was brought back to Nazareth, when he was lost as a boy.

00:45:42.565 --> 00:45:46.572
You know, it just goes on and on until finally.

00:45:46.572 --> 00:45:47.713
You know they're trying.

00:45:47.713 --> 00:45:52.311
Even he goes back to Nazareth, he preaches one sermon, they try to throw him off the hill.

00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:56.706
Time after time after time they're trying to exterminate him.

00:45:56.706 --> 00:46:05.588
Because if the seed, if Jesus, can die, then the seed can die, because Jesus and the seed are synonymous.

00:46:05.588 --> 00:46:08.514
So if Jesus can die, the seed can die.

00:46:08.514 --> 00:46:11.389
If the seed dies, the new creation dies.

00:46:11.389 --> 00:46:19.467
If the new creation dies, then God is a liar and can't accomplish his purpose and nobody needs to listen to him.

00:46:20.222 --> 00:46:22.329
You see how the enemy thinks.

00:46:22.329 --> 00:46:46.246
The enemy is always trying to think if I can get one time, if I can get God to make a mistake, if I can get God to lie, if I can get God to fail, if I can get God to do something that he says that is impossible for him to do amen, then I've won, because he can no longer be trusted and I'm the next guy in line.

00:46:46.246 --> 00:46:47.768
That's how they think.

00:46:47.768 --> 00:46:49.931
It never works.

00:46:49.931 --> 00:46:50.934
But that's how they think.

00:46:50.934 --> 00:47:13.246
Praise God, but Jesus, time after time after time, until finally going to Gethsemane, going to Pilate's chambers, going to the Sanhedrin, going to the high priest, going to the cross, all of those people listen.

00:47:14.387 --> 00:47:16.532
They could have killed him in the Garden of Gethsemane.

00:47:16.532 --> 00:47:24.434
They sent an army, they sent a small army detachment out with clubs and with weapons.

00:47:24.434 --> 00:47:27.306
They could have killed him there.

00:47:27.306 --> 00:47:28.985
Nobody would have known the difference.

00:47:28.985 --> 00:47:34.351
They could have killed him before Annas and Caiaphas.

00:47:34.351 --> 00:47:37.068
They could have killed him in Pilate's basement.

00:47:37.068 --> 00:47:37.829
They almost did.

00:47:38.282 --> 00:47:57.177
They beat him 600 men beat him with rods, whips, and then they took him and crucified him and the Bible said that he gave up the ghost, he gave up his spirit, he yielded his life over.

00:47:57.177 --> 00:48:05.510
We've said this many times it was impossible to kill Jesus, because the wages of sin is death and he had not sinned.

00:48:05.510 --> 00:48:10.585
Because he had not sinned, he could not die, hello.

00:48:10.585 --> 00:48:18.887
And so in order to accomplish the purpose of God and lay down the seed into the ground and die, he had to give up his life.

00:48:18.887 --> 00:48:19.969
And so he did.

00:48:19.969 --> 00:48:27.710
He yielded his life over so that he could pick up the new life of the seed when resurrected.

00:48:27.710 --> 00:48:29.594
Are we hearing this?

00:48:29.594 --> 00:48:33.648
We know these things, but not everybody knows these things.

00:48:33.648 --> 00:48:34.791
Amen.

00:48:34.791 --> 00:48:37.686
We believe these things, but not everybody believes these things.

00:48:37.686 --> 00:48:45.530
We believe these things because we understand that this is what the Bible says he laid up.

00:48:45.530 --> 00:48:53.010
Everybody needs to quit worrying about whether the Jews killed him or whether the Romans killed him.

00:48:53.050 --> 00:48:59.128
There was enough blame to go around for everybody putting him on the cross, but that's not what killed him.

00:48:59.128 --> 00:49:09.735
Because, listen to me, at any moment he could have got off the cross and been instantly healed of all of his wounds.

00:49:09.735 --> 00:49:15.909
All of his blood would have gone back into his body, and that was not beyond the realm of possibility.

00:49:15.909 --> 00:49:24.974
He could have done that, listen, if he could raise up from the dead, he could save himself from being dead.

00:49:24.974 --> 00:49:27.849
But that was not the commandment he got of God.

00:49:27.849 --> 00:49:35.864
The commandment he got from God was that I give you the commandment to lay down your life and to pick it back up again.

00:49:35.864 --> 00:49:39.132
This commandment, he said, I have received from my father.

00:49:39.132 --> 00:49:45.715
So if he was going to be perfect in his obedience to the father, he had to go ahead and lay down his life.

00:49:46.456 --> 00:49:54.996
We spent a long time talking about this, because this is something that is consistently misunderstood, amen.

00:49:54.996 --> 00:50:05.184
We are so busy trying to blame the Jews for killing Jesus and so busy blaming the Romans for killing Jesus, when nobody killed him.

00:50:05.184 --> 00:50:06.126
Amen.

00:50:06.126 --> 00:50:08.981
They may have tortured him, but they didn't kill him.

00:50:08.981 --> 00:50:11.710
He laid down his own life.

00:50:11.710 --> 00:50:18.065
If you want to know who killed him or who was responsible for his laying down a life, it would be you.

00:50:18.065 --> 00:50:20.610
You're the one that he died for.

00:50:20.610 --> 00:50:36.351
You're the one, you're the reason that he laid down his life, not only to pay for your sin, but to buy, to redeem you and bring you up in this newness of life we call the new creation.

00:50:36.351 --> 00:50:51.967
Glory to God, praise the Lord, and I'm here to tell you today that the spirits of Antichrist, the spirits of Jezebel, the spirits of death and hell are still busy trying to exterminate the seed.

00:50:53.351 --> 00:50:54.793
I want you to think about this.

00:50:54.793 --> 00:50:56.760
I just want you to think.

00:50:56.760 --> 00:50:58.525
I'm not trying to make you feel guilty.

00:50:58.525 --> 00:51:01.130
I'm not trying to make you feel uneasy.

00:51:01.130 --> 00:51:03.784
I'm not trying to do anything of the sort.

00:51:03.784 --> 00:51:21.215
I just want you to think about this that in the time that we are together here two hours, by conservative estimates at least 40 people on average around the world will give up their life for the name of Jesus.

00:51:21.215 --> 00:51:27.032
40 people will be martyred in the time that we're together here today.

00:51:27.719 --> 00:51:36.032
20 people an hour, approximately 200,000 a year are exterminated.

00:51:36.032 --> 00:51:38.206
We've seen it on television.

00:51:38.206 --> 00:51:45.634
We've seen public beheadings on television of Christians.

00:51:45.634 --> 00:51:48.246
And that's just a handful.

00:51:48.246 --> 00:51:49.590
That was just that hour.

00:51:49.590 --> 00:51:51.923
That was just that hour's work.

00:51:51.923 --> 00:51:59.083
We had a man right here in this living room, right here from India, and his wife.

00:51:59.083 --> 00:52:03.954
They're killing them by the multiplied hundreds over there every day.

00:52:03.954 --> 00:52:14.722
Multiplied hundreds over there every day.

00:52:14.722 --> 00:52:16.264
240 people a day are martyred.

00:52:16.264 --> 00:52:19.951
Over 6,000 churches this year will be burned, bombed, destroyed, vacated.

00:52:20.050 --> 00:52:31.382
Do you know that one-third of the churches that were open in December of 2019 are no longer open in the United States Because of COVID?

00:52:31.382 --> 00:52:35.148
One-third of the churches in this country closed.

00:52:35.148 --> 00:52:49.396
Not only that, but for some period of time that the government permitted, a great higher percentage than that were closed because they valued the rule of men.

00:52:49.396 --> 00:52:51.501
How foolish.

00:52:51.501 --> 00:53:23.751
It's amazing to me, my brother and sister, how those pastors still have jobs, how they can get employed anywhere, when they willingly followed after the example of demons and devils to observe pseudoscientific procedures that didn't even make sense about masking and distancing and all that kind of stuff, and they closed their doors for weeks and months.

00:53:23.751 --> 00:53:26.706
And how do they even have jobs?

00:53:26.706 --> 00:53:35.429
How did those people not gather together in the parking lots, at least if the doors were bolted?

00:53:35.429 --> 00:53:36.871
How did they just not?

00:53:36.871 --> 00:53:41.047
We're going to come and we're going to pray and we're going to worship God.

00:53:41.047 --> 00:53:42.552
How did they not do that?

00:53:42.552 --> 00:53:45.224
I'm going to tell you how they didn't do it.

00:53:45.224 --> 00:54:17.800
Because they willingly allowed the satanic spirits to infiltrate their churches and on some whim of some one person who has been proven to be a liar, proven to be deceiver, proven to be involved in the creation of the virus, and we prefer to believe him rather than to believe God when he said none of these diseases will I bring upon you, jesus.

00:54:18.242 --> 00:54:33.405
But all over this planet, antichrist is having a heyday burning, destroying, looting churches, killing, martyring, murdering Christians.

00:54:33.405 --> 00:54:38.822
Some of them are taken away, they're kidnapped, they're imprisoned, some of them are burned alive.

00:54:38.822 --> 00:54:45.251
Satan is still trying to exterminate the seed that is in the presence of God's people.

00:54:45.251 --> 00:54:49.416
But again, they don't study history.

00:54:49.416 --> 00:54:51.041
Amen.

00:54:51.041 --> 00:55:06.324
In the early church they were burned, they were tortured, they were sawed in two, they were crucified, they were beheaded, and all that happened was the church grew.

00:55:06.324 --> 00:55:08.485
All that happened was the church grew.

00:55:08.485 --> 00:55:10.827
All that happened was the church grew.

00:55:10.827 --> 00:55:16.452
You cannot exterminate a seed that has eternal life.

00:55:16.452 --> 00:55:17.552
Amen.

00:55:17.552 --> 00:55:24.637
You may snuff out Adam's life out of them, but you are not going to destroy their spirit.

00:55:24.637 --> 00:55:29.563
Amen them, but you are not going to destroy their spirit.

00:55:29.563 --> 00:55:29.682
Amen.

00:55:29.702 --> 00:55:38.264
And what the enemy doesn't know, and what the and what and what unsaved men don't know, is that when these spirits leave these bodies, they go and have an another body.

00:55:38.264 --> 00:55:54.467
And now this, this spirit, is now available for the Lord to use in military fashion here on the earth, in spirit form, and this is the army that is going to defeat the Antichrist.

00:55:54.467 --> 00:55:56.570
Oh, gloria, you're not hearing me.

00:55:56.570 --> 00:56:08.987
Today there are millions upon millions, upon hundreds of millions, maybe even into billions, of people who have gone on to be with the Lord, that are in a spirit form.

00:56:08.987 --> 00:56:12.007
Now we call them ministering spirits.

00:56:12.007 --> 00:56:18.806
They can come back and minister and go back, go back, go back, go back, go back, back and forth, back and forth.

00:56:18.806 --> 00:56:20.371
They are invincible.

00:56:20.371 --> 00:56:22.829
There's nothing that the enemy can do with them.

00:56:22.829 --> 00:56:24.445
You're not hearing me.

00:56:24.445 --> 00:56:26.086
I said they are invincible.

00:56:26.086 --> 00:56:29.041
There is nothing that the enemy can do.

00:56:29.041 --> 00:56:31.166
He can't kill them, he can't even hurt them.

00:56:31.166 --> 00:56:33.552
But they can hurt the enemy.

00:56:33.552 --> 00:56:36.143
And you know what else they can do.

00:56:36.143 --> 00:56:41.661
They can teach you how to be invincible in this form that you're in here on earth.

00:56:42.864 --> 00:56:43.746
Glory to God.

00:56:43.746 --> 00:56:45.528
I'm talking about Jesus.

00:56:45.528 --> 00:56:47.271
I said I'm talking about Jesus.

00:56:47.271 --> 00:56:52.128
I'm talking about Jesus and his body, the body of the Christ.

00:56:52.128 --> 00:57:02.101
I'm talking about the ones that are in him in physical form here on earth and the ones that are in him in spirit form and serving here on earth.

00:57:02.101 --> 00:57:03.784
I'm talking about this body.

00:57:03.784 --> 00:57:07.394
Glory to God is invincible.

00:57:07.394 --> 00:57:09.902
There's nothing the enemy can do about it.

00:57:09.902 --> 00:57:12.873
I said there's nothing he can do about it.

00:57:12.873 --> 00:57:17.248
He may think he can do something about it and the death toll is terrible.

00:57:17.248 --> 00:57:19.474
I'm not trying to minimize that.

00:57:19.514 --> 00:57:24.246
These people have been martyred, but, bless God, they are not here anymore.

00:57:24.246 --> 00:57:25.708
They are in heaven.

00:57:25.708 --> 00:57:30.063
They serve a risen Christ and they serve him in a risen body.

00:57:30.063 --> 00:57:41.634
They may not yet be resurrected the way that the Bible talks about, but they are in spirit form and they are part of this invincible army that cannot be defeated.

00:57:41.634 --> 00:57:54.032
I don't care what the enemy has to say about it and I don't care how many witches he has here, and I don't care how many devils are here to molest us and vex us and torment us and bother us.

00:57:54.032 --> 00:57:56.822
They can just go suck on prunes.

00:57:56.822 --> 00:57:59.385
They are not going to do it.

00:57:59.385 --> 00:58:02.548
Glory to God, hallelujah.

00:58:03.289 --> 00:58:13.541
If Jesus is not the eternal Son of God, son of man, god-man, then what in the world are we doing here?

00:58:13.541 --> 00:58:15.726
Why are we even bothering?

00:58:15.726 --> 00:58:21.762
But I'm here to tell you that he is the eternal Son of God, he is the God-man.

00:58:21.762 --> 00:58:31.655
He has, in His own person, person, transformed humanity to have the potential to live in him forever.

00:58:31.655 --> 00:58:44.909
Hallelujah, and the ones that already have made that decision and live in him share his eternity, share his invincibility and share his permanence.

00:58:44.909 --> 00:58:46.811
Glory to God.

00:58:48.092 --> 00:58:50.460
Are you hearing what Jesus is saying to you today?

00:58:50.460 --> 00:58:52.123
All of these things.

00:58:52.123 --> 00:58:57.822
The devil can roll all these things up and bring them back around if he wants to.

00:58:57.822 --> 00:58:58.644
What does he think?

00:58:58.644 --> 00:58:59.387
We're stupid?

00:58:59.387 --> 00:59:01.172
What does he think we don't notice?

00:59:01.172 --> 00:59:05.568
Yes, a lot of people are stupid and a lot of people don't notice.

00:59:05.568 --> 00:59:06.992
But we are not those people.

00:59:06.992 --> 00:59:12.211
We will study this stuff and we will make it known.

00:59:12.271 --> 00:59:20.648
Glory to God, because this Jesus will not and cannot and never will be defeated.

00:59:20.648 --> 00:59:24.112
I said he will not be defeated.

00:59:24.112 --> 00:59:36.146
I don't care how clever they get, I don't care how many computers they get, I don't care if they can rig the atmosphere, I don't care if they can build spaceships, I don't care what they do.

00:59:36.146 --> 00:59:49.911
My God said this I am going to do miracles and signs and wonders in these last days that have never been seen before on the planet.

00:59:49.911 --> 00:59:58.425
So if Smith Wigglesworth raised 16 people from the dead, there's somebody out there ready to raise 32.

00:59:58.425 --> 01:00:01.306
Then there's somebody out there ready to raise 64.

01:00:01.306 --> 01:00:02.389
Then 128.

01:00:02.389 --> 01:00:03.432
Then 256.

01:00:03.432 --> 01:00:11.025
Then look out, somebody's going to stand at the edge of a cemetery and say come out from among them and be separate.

01:00:11.045 --> 01:00:11.967
Glory to God.

01:00:11.967 --> 01:00:14.012
Are you hearing what I'm saying?

01:00:14.012 --> 01:00:18.128
If it's been seen, god's going to do something that hasn't been seen.

01:00:18.128 --> 01:00:30.349
If it's been known, god's going to do something that hasn't been known because his word still says call upon me, I'll answer the, I'll call, I'll show the great and mighty things that you do not know.

01:00:30.349 --> 01:00:32.175
That's where we're going.

01:00:32.175 --> 01:00:58.746
It has to be where we're going, because the enemy can copy known things, but when God starts popping things out that have never even been seen before amen, glory to God the devils are going to wish they could believe, because they're going to look at each other and say we have been conned, we have been lied to, we have been deceived.

01:00:58.746 --> 01:01:04.786
This God I said this God that answers by fire, he is Jehovah.

01:01:04.786 --> 01:01:06.637
Glory to God.

01:01:06.637 --> 01:01:07.260
Let's stand.
