   we're going to start back where we left off this morning isaiah 42 isaiah 42 because this is vitally important and if you wanted to break up the class that we're doing here kind of in sections or the study or whatever you want to call it in sections this first section first part i would i would call preaching deliverance to the captives now where we left off this morning with isaiah 42 and may have you turn there in just a second matter of fact just hold your spot there on isaiah 42 let's flip real quick flip to matthew chapter 12. because i said this in passing uh this morning but i want you to see it matthew 42 being quoted by matthew in matthew 12 pertaining to jesus deliverance ministry and the whole debate going on there and then we're going to come back to isaiah 42 kind of review that for a second because that's very important all right so matthew chapter 12 everybody there all right matthew 12 verse 22. well let's know let's back up i'm sorry back up to verse um i don't do the whole thing back up to verse 9 it says and when he was departed thence he went into their synagogue and behold there was a man which had his hand withered and they asked him saying is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days that they might accuse him and he said unto them what man is there that shall be among you that shall have one sheep and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day will he not lay hold on it and lift it out how much then is a man better than a sheep wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days then he said to the man stretch forth your hand and he stretched it forth and it was restored whole like as the other then the pharisees went out and held counsel against him how they might destroy him i said but when jesus knew it he withdrew himself from thence and great multitudes followed him and he healed them all and charged him that they should not make him known now jesus remember this is jesus saying you know he told him don't tell anybody and one of the reasons if you go back and read and mark one of the reasons he said don't go tell anybody in this particular situation he had all the crowds he could handle and there was it got so bad at one point he told somebody not to say something they said it and he couldn't even enter the city anymore he had to stay out in the desert so there were reasons why he said this but matthew picks up the holy spirit has matthew pick up that this was something that fulfilled prophecy and that's what he's going to say and that's where he quotes isaiah 42 starting at verse 18 is these are direct quotes from isaiah 42 18-21

   behold my servant whom i have chosen my beloved in him in whom brother my soul is well pleased i will put my spirit upon him and he shall show judgment to the gentiles he shall not strive nor cry neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets a bruised reed shall he not break into smoking flex shall he not quench till he send forth judgment unto victory and in his name shall the gentiles trust so i wanted you to see that even matthew right in the middle we just read of jesus healing somebody we're going to read of jesus delivering somebody next but right in the middle of of jesus healing somebody and casting the demon out of somebody jesus uh matthew quotes isaiah 42 and and pins that on jesus that that was talking about jesus so i wanted you to see that because i don't want you think i'm just making these things up all right i want you to see this is what the scripture teaches here all right so so right after verse 21 where he ends the quote from isaiah 42 he says then was brought unto him one possessed with the devil blind and dumb and he healed him in so much that the blind and done both spake and saw and all the people were amazed and said is not this the son of david but when the pharisees heard it they said this fellow doth cast out devils but by bills above the prince of the devils and jesus knew their thoughts and said unto them every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand and if satan cast out satan he is divided against himself how shall then his kingdom stand but if i by bills above cast out devils by whom do your children cast them out what he was saying is there's only one prince of the devils so if i got the prince of the devils and i'm casting out devils how in the world is peter and paul and james and john and everybody else how are they casting demons out we can't all have the one prince of the devils so he was making a point to him but of course you know they were having fun attacking but look at verse 28 he said but if i cast out devils by the spirit of god then the kingdom of god is come unto you or else how could one enter into a strong man's house and spoil his goods except he first bind the strong man and he will spoil his house only this he that is not with me is against me and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad so i wanted you to see in the context so now we know that what this verse is referring to let's go back to isaiah 42. isaiah 42 verse 1. this is exactly what he quoted in matthew chapter 12 behold my servant whom i uphold mine elect and whom my soul delights i have put my spirit upon him he shall bring forth judgment to the gentiles all right he shall not cry nor lift up or cause his voice to be heard in the street and so on and so forth and that's what we read this morning look at verse six and seven still speaking of jesus

   he says i i the lord have called thee in righteousness and will hold on hand and will keep thee and give thee for covenant of the people for a light to the gentiles to open the blind eyes to bring out the prisoners from the prison and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house so i just give you that to see that the context of the scripture used here both in isaiah and in matthew is in the context of the ministry of jesus his ministry of healing and deliverance because he talks about bringing the prisoners out of the prison house everybody with me all right so the chapter continues and that's why we're going down and we're going to repeat this even though we touched on it this morning verse 21 still speaking of jesus he says the lord is well pleased for his righteousness sake he will magnify the law and he will make it honorable but this is a people robbed and spoiled they are all of them boy you need to underline this is a verse you need to remember you need to learn it you need to have it in you but he says but this is a people robbed in school they are all of them snared in holes and they are hid in prison houses they are for a prey or just sitting there waiting for the enemy to devour them is what the word pray means and none delivereth they are for spoil and none saith restore who among you will give ear to this and who will hearken and hear for the time to come so he's talking about who would pick up this ministry of deliverance setting the captives free prisoners free who's going to pick it up and carry on the tor carry the torch who will hearken and hear this who will do it i can tell you for many years in the church world of doing this there's some out there but it's very few and that's why god was like who will who will do this for me now i want you to turn i want you to turn to uh to mark chapter one and i bring this up here the reason isaiah 42 is so important while you're turning to mark the reason isaiah 42 is so important is because i absolutely believe and my years of experience with this i absolutely believe this scripture that all of them are snared in holes and all of them are hid in prison houses because all of us to some degree not all the same but everyone i believe has has opened doors to the devil and strongholds in their lives whether they be from generational sins of their fathers and forefathers or whether they be from our own sins or things that were done to us in other words i all people to some

   degree need deliverance some will be more dramatic than others some will be more extensive but it doesn't matter we all need it and um that's the big the big hoopla is because we get you got to answer the question who needs deliverance okay this is why christians and pastors and ministers aren't casting demons out of people because they haven't even identified who needs it you know the only time really you'll see in a church anybody jump up and try to deal with the devil if somebody starts screaming and wallowing in the floor or slithering on the floor like a snake which i have seen this is so funny i got to tell this story this uh i can't remember if it was pastor hector or claudio freitzon some of those guys from the argentine revival came to evangel temple in montgomery and this is in the late 80s and this is back then when steve hill used to come preach at evangel temple before long before the brownsville revival um but anyway he uh it was either pastor hector one of the big argentine uh pastors that have great revival there or anaconda anyway um pastor cortez frazier was the pastor at evangel temple back then and of course being a good assembly of god church that it was they didn't believe a christian could have a demon right but pastor frazier uh went down to argentina with steve hill and them and anaconda and pastor hector and he he saw this the tremendous miracles and see what carlos anaconda was was the head evangelist during the argentine revival i mean he was the billy graham of argentina except holy ghost field tongue talking casting demons out and what they would do is he would get he would set up a big crusade and um preach the gospel and and invite people to come forward and give their lives to jesus and and thousands did the argentine revival went for about 15 years just a powerful move of god and then and then what he would do what carlos anacony would do and i've heard this man speak and actually he's laid hands on my head and i hit the floor all right the power of god's on this brother but uh what carlos anaconda would do is he would stand up and after he'd preach and after he'd give an altar call for people to get saved he had counselors you know with the people who'd responded then he would stand on the podium take the mic and he would say listen to me satan i bind you in the name of jesus and i command you to come out of these people people stopped dropping like flies all over the place manifesting demons and then they had a whole group of people that were trained deliverance ministers and they would go through the crowd and they'd identify people that were manifesting demons they'd pick them up and then they would carry them to a tent set up behind the revival tent and that was the
