at the cross be the dead I broke my chain for the first time let's go ahead
and give him praise and thank him for the blood thank you Jesus that you shed your precious blood on the cross Lord for our sins to give us power and victory over the devil to give us healing Lord you said by your stripes we were healed Lord you've provided everything that we need and we thank you for that we're gonna believe and walk in faith that you are the same yesterday today and forever we are grateful that the blood you shed that your death your sinless blood was shed there Lord to give us the keys of hell and death Lord that we can have victory over the powers of darkness that we can have authority that we become sons and daughters of God Almighty with authority and power over Satan and demons God we thank you for that and it's in Jesus name we pray amen amen well you may be seated this morning welcome everybody man everybody's well that's nice see everybody back we survived another biological attack all right it's crazy from December on I do feel like now I know which direction we're going this morning so I was firing Kelsey a bunch of stuff to put up on the screen here in a minute so she's madly working back there but let's go to 1st Peter chapter 5 and we're going to title this knowing your adversary a lot of you think you know him there's a lot of Christians that think they know spiritual warfare and they're getting all locked up in the devil's traps but I believe we need to read some scriptures and where I'm gonna show you some stuff it's troubling today and I I spent a lot of time studying this over this last week I have video clips and things that probably we won't get to just yet it's just so much but we're gonna go down let's see here oh let's see we'll just start from verse 1 that's good hallelujah so the Apostle Peter writes by the Holy Spirit the elders which are among you I exhort who am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed so he commands these elders feed the flock of God which is among you taking the oversight thereof not by constraint but willingly not for filthy lucre or just for money but of a ready mind neither is being lords over God's heritage but being examples to the flock means you can't be a hypocrite and he says that when the chief shepherd shall appear he showers you shall receive a crown of glory that faith is not away likewise ye younger submit yourselves unto the elder a all of you be subject one to another and be clothed with humility for God resisted the proud and giveth grace to the humble humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God
that he may exalt you in due time casting all your care upon him for he careth for you then the command be sober not high on marijuana not drunk with alcohol he says be sober be vigilant because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour interesting enough the word seeking here is a present tense Greek verb which means ongoing continuous action taking place in the present means he never stops seeking whom he may devour and that means he's always looking for a place to get you he's always plotting a gift then this command whom speaking of Satan the devil and his demons whom resist steadfast in the faith knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brother and that are in the world but the God of all grace who has called you are called us rather than his eternal glory by Christ Jesus after that you have suffered a while make you perfect establish strengthen and settle you so he tells us here the apostle Peter that you have an adversary an enemy right and he tells you the devil and he's a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour now I've seen a lot of little clips lately of these lions hunting in the jungle and I'll tell you one thing about them they're patient they're patient and they're sneaky and they will creep they'll creep a foot and they'll stay still and they'll creep another foot and they'll stay still and what's amazing about them is that you talking about you know certain praise they like antelope or whatever that are fast that are very sensitive to their surroundings that are you know jumpy and a lion can sneak up on one of them and then I saw a lion kill a hippopotamus I mean these things are crazy they will jump on and latch onto that neck and they don't let go now he says here that it's like a lion seeking whom he may devour now what lions will do too they will follow a flock they'll follow close by try to stay hidden and then they want to see one stray a little bit stray a little bit away from truth away from fellowship away from worship away from holy living just stray a little bit they're watching you that's why when God spoke to Cain he warned him he said sin lieth at the door and in fact in the Hebrew that means it's crouched like an animal ready to pounce on you and this
is something I tell people all the time this is why we cannot as Christians you cannot entertain and play with sin because it's like playing with a rattlesnake or a cobra you keep playing with it long enough and you're gonna get bit as they say play stupid games and win stupid prizes right but what I don't understand is there's a lot of Christians to say oh yeah we're we've got you know we've got the devil out here we got demons out here but you know I remember Larry Lee who was a famous pastor back in the 80s and early 90s and he used to say you know when he was in the Southwestern Theological Seminary in Fort Worth Texas he used to say they were teaching pastors that that Satan is not active in North America demons are not active in North America that only happens we go to Africa or something but this is kind of the level that most Christians are don't talk about the devil you give him glory well then what's the Bible doing talking about talks about him all through the whole thing and it's important that we understand how he works and I'm gonna give you some of the basics how he works today but I'm also gonna give you some of the most tricky ways he's working right now and you better know because I'm gonna show you how that he is crept in and subverted nearly the entire church in the Western world and I mean into a completely false fake supernatural experiences now let's go and read Ephesians chapter 6 and get ready to put up the definition of wiles here I find this interesting just the word the Greek word here well let's start reading at verse 10 this ought to be familiar to everybody he says finally my brethren be strong in the Lord in the power of his might now that word power there there's different words in the Greek but that word is not the word for simply supernatural power it's talking about authority that we've been given so we have to walk in the authority that Jesus has given us now we can't walk in that authority unless we are submitted to God we're submitted to his word I'm gonna quote this verse we'll put you guys can put it up in a second but James 4 seven says submit yourselves therefore to God resist the devil and he will flee from you a lot of people like to quote that resist the devil and he'll flee from you but the first part of it is submit to God meaning you have to have chosen to let Jesus be Lord of your life you have to choose to lay down your life take up your cross and follow him you have to have already chosen to repent and turn from your sinful ways and habits that God says
are evil so you have to submit to God you want to be victorious over the devil I mean I have people who come to me all the time they want deliverance from demons but they hadn't truly repented of their sins deliverance is I tell people casting demons out of folks that's easy stuff it's getting people to truly repent and be prepared for deliverance so they can stay free that's the big deal that's why I don't fool around with folks that aren't born again yet or hadn't truly repented of sin yet we're not going down that road of casting demons out because if I cast demons out of you they're gonna come back seven times worse you're gonna get sevenfold more so the real issue is have we submitted to God if we submit to God truly bow the knee truly submit our will truly turn from our sins then we will be in a position to exercise our authority in Jesus name to resist the devil but so many of you are you will you you want some kind of magic formula to get free from your attacks and really to tell you the truth a lot of it's just because you're rebelling and disobeying God disobeying his word and maybe God's told you to do something you're not doing it and then you wonder why the devil's just having heyday on your on your head on your finances or on your body or on your mind you must submit everything to God so that when you resist the devil he will flee because what's the flip side of that coin if you're not submitted to God and resist the devil he ain't going nowhere he's got a right to be there all right now let's keep reading this after he says put on after he said finally my brother be strong in the Lord in the power of his might he said put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand stand therefore having your loins gird about with the truth that is the word of God you must know the truth walk in the truth love the truth of God's word if you walk in lies and deception and doctrinal error you do not have the girdle or belt of truth so understand that he goes on to say having on the breastplate of righteousness well if you don't choose to repent of sin and walk in righteousness you can't say I am righteous so you don't have the breastplate he says in your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace so if you're not walking in the peace of God if you're not walking in
the power of the gospel yourself how are you gonna lead anybody else there he says then it says above all taking the shield of faith wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked and again if you're not walking in faith if you're walking in doubt and unbelief disobedience is unbelief then he says you will not be able to quench the fiery darts the devil they said take unto you the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit which is the word of God so you've got to have the Bible you got to know the Bible we'll get to that in a minute you got to be able to quote the Bible to the devil praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit and watching there into with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints now let me let me just I got to do this right now I know it's this little sidetrack here but this is bugs the stew out of me because too many of you watch these tick-tock videos and you think it's they're correct there's a guy that's done something about the Geneva Bible and start saying that this word principalities in the Geneva Bibles translated governments and that King James wanted it translated principalities so it wouldn't threaten his authority this is about the biggest bunch of nonsense I ever heard in my life first of all there's the word government and there's the word principalities and they're two different Greek words and actually the King James translated it correctly in this passage not the Geneva Bible in fact the Geneva Bible gets a lot of stuff wrong and the reason King James just so y'all know didn't like the Geneva Bible is because it was full of Calvinist doctrine that it was full of notes and pushing the Calvinist theology all over the world and King James was like I'm sick of this Bible with this comedy he said he wanted a Bible with no notes in it no commentary so people could just read it and figure it out themselves oh what an evil guy let me tell you a lot of this stuff out here you hear something talking bad about King James is propaganda okay propaganda nonsense in fact every every little video I've seen where it says oh the Geneva Bible translates it this way and the King James this way and the genius so the Geneva Bibles better I find out the Geneva Bible translated it wrong because you go back to the original Greek and Hebrew and look the words up it's real simple so I know the Geneva Bible was used a lot way back in those days but once the King James came in and took the commentary out people stopped getting indoctrinated with Calvinism alright so stop it I don't care how many tick-tock videos you see and you think they're true you need to go back and check because these people sound very convincing at times but they don't know what they're talking about alright that was free now let's go back and here's another thing if it was governments of
the world here that he was talking about if principality should have been translated government the government is something in the physical realm that we fight and deal with it is flesh and blood so he's not talking about actual governments here so they translated it correctly in the King James version alright these are demonic principalities and powers not earthly alright that's why he says we wrestle not against flesh and blood now let's go to this when he says put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil so let's put the definition of wiles up here and you'll see it's methodia or methodia and that doesn't sound familiar doesn't it method so he's saying is the methods of the devil he says compare method traveling over travesty trickery lie and wait you can put the Thayer's Greek dictionary up here as well things cunning arts deceit craft trickery to follow up or investigate by method or settle a plan so he's telling you that the devil has a method his methods that he uses y'all want to know what his methods are alright let's go just go to Matthew 4 and put that up there everybody ought to know about the temptation of Jesus alright so let me just go ahead I'm gonna give you number one method Satan's number one method to get you off base his number one while to get you off base is to try to get you to sin to tempt you he came to Jesus and he tempted Jesus trying to get Jesus to sin all right and the Bible even calls him the tempter that's one of his names now he's not going to tempt you with something that's not that doesn't have already kind of a you already might have a weakness to it like some people they don't have a weakness to pornography but others do because they either saw it when they were very young or or whatever so there's a weakness in them to that issue so the devil is going to come hit that person with that but there may be somebody else who's who is so sensitive that they're easily hurt or wounded or offended by people so the devil is going to make sure that he brings somebody in your life to hurt you or offend you he knows how to trip you up he watches you he he investigates you see that's what I say that he watches and he investigates and he's gonna find out the plan what what what do you what what weakness do you have some of you it is you watch too much TV and movies you feed your spirit he's watching you and he's waiting for
you it's like I've told you that story of the two dogs that are gonna fight in a month the one you feed and the other one you don't feed who's gonna win at the end of the month so if you feed yourself constantly from the media television videos movies if that's what you feed yourself you spend little time reading the Bible little time in prayer guess what's gonna happen you're not going to be ready for when the temptation comes because the temptations on me take you deeper into it and of course this the process also is to harden your heart make you a little less feeling that's why that's why you know when you know you go to you go to a movie now I'm gonna say I made a mistake of going to see what was it John Wick for I knew it was gonna be ridiculous all right but the previews the previews that they showed I had to close my eyes it was such evil there I'd never even seen this before they had our rated previews with the red warning on them I'm like what the heck is that I've never even seen that before usually it says this is approved for all audiences right a little green strip I'm like what is going on but see again what are they trying to do to us they want to slip stuff in there so they desensitize us and because what if we receive it the next time they can take us the devil's always trying to take you a little deeper that's why look if a movie has sexual content in it as a Christian you had no business watching that you understand none why are you feeding that you wonder why later when the temptation comes you feel like you're being pulled away this is why again you got to feed your spirit God's Word time with God the presence of God worship God you got us you got to feed the spirit man and not the flesh man it's real simple but the tempter is going to come and he knows your weakness and you know what you should know your weakness you should know it and go you know what I'm not going there if you were an alcoholic you don't need to go witnessing the people in the bar probably not a good idea to go hang out in the bar I know that there were preachers back in the day that had issues they came out of sexual immorality they made the mistake of thinking that they could go and preach every day on Bourbon Street in New Orleans I've preached on Bourbon Street in New Orleans and about four days was
all I could take you understand you certain places you don't need to go you don't need to do you got to know your weakness and I think it was Sun Tzu the art of war he says you got to know your enemy if you're gonna be and you got to know your enemy and you got to know yourself and if you lie to yourself about your weaknesses then you are really setting yourself up for a fall and a bad fall now let me tell you this other story there's it I'm just gonna give you this this is in Samuel believe it says second Samuel after David became king there says that the time came when the Kings were supposed to go forth to battle but David decided to stay home now if you're not in the right place at the right time if you're not in the fight where you're supposed to be and fighting the way you're supposed to fight the devil's gonna make sure that there's a bath she become right in your view without her clothes on had David been where God said he was supposed to be he wouldn't have been there to see that and if he and it was a battle so if he'd have been engaged in the spiritual warfare he was supposed to be in he wouldn't have been home and then fighting Bathsheba and then you know calling for her and then the whole thing that went down we got to understand and this is another thing if you don't engage the devil in spiritual warfare and resistance he will beat you idleness passivity that's not an option some of you the devil starts hitting your mind with all these kind of thoughts of maybe it's just depression you just start you start mulling over oh whoa is me this ain't happening this didn't happen and this happened to me and you keep doing it until you are depressed and then and then it gets so bad you can't shake it off and this is why a lot of people run to drugs and alcohol to try to feel better or you know doctors will give you a pill now it's all kind of happy peels they have all kind of bad side effects but all they do is really numb you and you don't need anything to numb you so the tempter is the first thing now I'll show you something else this is what he comes in remember when he came to Jesus what did he do not only did he try to get him to sin but one time what did he do he was he was he quoted the word to Jesus this is what blows my mind now let's go down to where he talks about throwing himself so when the tempter
came to him look at that thou be the Son of God command these stones be made bread what Jesus do he answered said it is written man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God that's a direct quote from Deuteronomy keep going then the devil taketh him up into the holy city and saideth him on a pinnacle of the temple and sayeth unto him if thou be the Son of God cast thyself down for it is written now the devil start quoting Bible he shall give his angels charge over thee concerning thee and in their hands they shall bear thee up lest at any time thou dash thy foot against the stone now know what the devil did here the devil quoted this verse almost accurately he just added in any time this is from Psalm 91 so what the devil did was he took a passage about God's protection that's conditional that if you dwell in the secret place of the most high if you love his name if you if if if so the protection of Psalm 91 is conditional and the devil goes no no no any time he's going to protect you even if you commit suicide here or make a suicide it no and of course Jesus rebukes him here's here's another thing where the devil is going to attack you he is going to try to twist the scriptures in your life meaning to get you to believe some false doctrines some errors some wrong theology and he'll do it just by inserting a word or a phrase a little bit just just a little bit of a twist this is all this is right here this temptation is just a little twist this is why it's important what translation of the Bible you read I'm going to do a one in the days ahead knowing the Bible knowing the translation of the Bible but yes I'm gonna tell you right now in English the most accurate and best translation of the Bible that we have is the King James Version I don't care who who what scholar tells you what I heard a scholar that I have admired and appreciated over the years though we've had our disagreements about things at times but dr. Michael L Brown I heard him make the mistake the other day of saying that because of some of the manuscripts that are older we should go by them instead of the ones that are more accurate there are some older manuscripts that are corrupted older is not better if older came out of a trash can in a monastery you understand older is not better if it comes from
Alexandria corruption of origin and Marcion who made their own translation and all the modern translations have taken from that Alexandria and corrupted text line now remember I'm talking about the original text does the King James always picked the best English word to translate no not all the time and that's why I tell everybody go get you a Greek lexicon a Hebrew and Greek lexicon and look the words up for yourself so you know okay now now that we get past that so we've got the tempter and he's the twister now this is what I was talking about last week about how important doctrine was y'all remember last week if you didn't if you didn't see last week you need to watch it what about doctrine I want to show you something go to James chapter 5 just go down to verse 19 and 20 now this is how important it is to not get off dock into doctrinal error or let the devil twist the word or change it a little bit in your life or you just stay ignorant of it that's not good this is why you got to know when I say you got to know the Bible you got to know the Bible you got to read it you got to study it you got to memorize it you need to know what words mean I was doing this kind of study before God ever told me I was gonna be a pastor or a teacher because you know why I wanted to study like this because I wanted to make sure that I was staying in correct doctrine and that I would know the Word of God well enough to give people an answer and to tell people the truth I knew even as just to say a lay Christian just a 19-year-old young man I knew I didn't want to be a stumbling block to other people and mislead people even if my intentions were good I didn't want to be off-base so I studied like crazy my dad said he'd never seen anybody study the Bible like I studied I have entire chapters memorized I would take chapters and look up every single if it was in the Old Testament I'd take a chapter like Isaiah 53 and look up every Hebrew word in it and write down the definitions I had my own amplified Bible that I made you've got to know the Word
of God you've got to be able to rightly divide the Word of God you got to understand what you're reading and don't just depend if you just depending on me to teach you that's not enough you have to do it yourself but he says here listen this is how serious it is his brethren if any of you do err from the truth that means to stray to get off away from the truth of God's Word and sound doctrine brethren if any of you do err from the truth you have to have somebody convert you from the error back to the truth and it says in one convert him or bring him back out of that error nobody says happens here let him know that he which converted the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death this eternal damnation the second death being separated from God for all eternity not annihilation and he says he shall hide a multitude of sins I shared with you last week the Bible is clear 2nd John says that if you transgress and get away from the doctrine of Jesus Christ the clear sound doctrines of the Bible it says you do not have God you have to remain in the truth of doctrine and Scripture if you start believing say for instance that Jesus Christ is just a man or just the Son of God or just and you don't understand the Bible doctrine that he is God Almighty in the flesh the fullness of the Godhead bodily the mighty God the Everlasting Father the Prince of Peace if you don't understand that and you start going down the road like say these Torah heads go down that he's just he's not God he's just the Son of God or he's just like Rob Skiba you say he's just a his right arm you start going down that road you have departed from the doctrine of Christ you've departed from the sound doctrine of Scripture if you deny hell is eternal punishment eternal damnation if you deny hell you're you you're denying what Jesus taught and what the Apostles taught by the Holy Spirit if you go down these roads and the reason why you are if you air from the truth of Scripture that you are going to be if you have strayed from God are in danger of judgment and needing someone to convert you is because you're going to lead others astray and that blood's gonna be on your hands you understand me you have to be established in the truth because if not your life and your words and what you teach is either going to bring people to Jesus and to the truth
and to sound doctrine or your life is going to lead them away and the devil is about twisting things and just because something sounds plausible doesn't mean it's biblical you understand you know I'll tell you this too you don't build sound doctrine off of one scripture sound doctrine must be built on systematic study of Scripture on a topic from Genesis to Revelation you've got to know all of it you've got to accept all of it amen I can't tell you enough because he this is the way he's gonna deceive people he's deceiving people the most in fact put up first Timothy 4-1 y'all ought to know this one by heart this is one of the ones I learned a long time ago and let me tell you something if you witness the people enough and tell and talk to people enough about the Bible you won't have to memorize stuff because you'll just buy a simple repetition you'll remember stuff but he says now the spirit speak expressly than the latter time shall some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits what seducing spirit first these evil spirits demon spirits come and guess what they must not be resisted if they're able to successfully get you to believe doctrines that they want and to get you to depart from the faith notice here he's not even talking about he's not even talking about sin here he's talking about getting off in doctrinal error it's serious you see that's why I like when that I talked about it last week that that so-called prophetess Julie Green whenever I hear somebody go oh stop with the doctrine get off the doctrine I know it's there that they're there that what's speaking through them the seducing spirits the moment I hear somebody doctrine doesn't matter I go you're a devil because it mattered to Jesus and it mattered to Paul and Peter and James and John in fact when the first converts happened in the early church what does it say that they they remain steadfastly in the Apostles doctrine first then prayers and fellowship and breaking of bread backs to all right they continued in doctrine what did Jesus say let's put up John 8 I think I quoted last week but we're gonna put it up again the
devil's got some he's got some tricky stuff out there I mean this new one this new one the whole Tataria thing and the millennial reigns already happened and Jesus came in 70 AD blah blah blah blah blah deception false doctrine oh I'm gonna annihilate it soon don't take about two hours just to systematically destroy and expose that false doctrine but I what I marvel that's how many people are just fall for it because they're just in there they're like the people in Athens they just looking for the next new thing verse 30 31 30 somewhere there Jesus spake this to the Jews that believed on him you said to the Jews that believed on him if Jordan if if you continue in my word did he say continue in my singing songs said if you continue in my word then you are my if you continue my word then are you my disciples indeed and you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free you have to continue in the word but it has to be the truth of the word not anything twisted not changed a little bit not parts you ignore because you don't like those parts I say you you know there's preachers of the Bible and then there's editors of the Bible they decide what parts we don't want to talk about that's pretty much the modern church world it's parts we don't want to talk about because it might offend somebody they might not come have coffee and donuts in our coffee shop I see that that there's the Highlands is getting some competition new coffee shop just open across the street I couldn't resist now the tempter he's the tempter he's the twister of doctrine twister of the word but he's also going to be how do I put it he is the counterfeiter of supernatural let's go to Matthew 24 this is where we're gonna show you some stuff now we're gonna go a little deeper now all right and as there as we're turning to that and we're gonna go down to verse 21 as you're turning to that well we'll get to that
but there's a way you have to resist the devil okay first of all I think you've seen you need to quote the scripture and you need to be accurate you need to stay in the truth and you need to speak that to the devil I'm gonna tell you when you're getting really bombarded man when you're getting bombarded with lust thoughts you need to quote the scripture you need to bind those demons also and resist them but you also need to quote Bible to them the devil hates hearing the Bible hates it I saw there was Donnie who was who's they there's a group of those apostles and so-called prophets that you came across it started commenting what was their name again I don't know I looked at their stuff let me just say there's some group out there they say the word of God the written word of God has no power they also say that you if you preach on if a preacher preaches against sin he's in error oh yeah huh yeah something stupid I almost I look I listed I looked at their web page almost everybody that's on staffs called Apostle I'm like well they got more apostles than Jesus had I was like something right here I'm sorry but I ain't buying it that you got you know 25 apostles in your church but just unbelievable error and I was just I was my I'm just I'm telling you my mind is blown we have and I'm not I believe there's a true apostles and prophets and evangelists pastors and teachers I believe in all the fivefold ministry I believe in all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit I've seen every miracle you can imagine I've seen the crippled walk the deaf here I've seen the dead raised I've seen people with cancer in stage four cancer bone cancer even where their bones were already breaking instantly healed I've seen those miracles over the years I've seen people in a coma and paralyzed get up from from intensive care unit within three hours of after being prayed for there's nothing impossible I believe that Jesus is still the healer the deliver he still works miracles I believe in all that so I'm don't get me wrong but let me just go on and tell you everybody that slaps the name Apostle on them is not an Apostle everybody says there are prophets not a prophet even everybody says there are pastors not a pastor some of them just thought it was a be a good job choice so they went to seminary and got hired by a church and God never called them to do that ever and we wonder why it's a disaster I don't believe Joel Osteen was ever called to be a pastor I believe it was his actually his brother was supposed to take over that's why he says everything in the Bible is not his ministry but that's another thing Matthew 24 here in verse
21 that we talking about the tribulations is for then there should be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time known or ever shall be and accept those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened and then if any man shall say unto you lo here is Christ there believe it not for there shall arise false Christ now I want you to look at that plural false Christ we could say false anointed ones oh because Christ means anointed one false anointed ones false saviors false prophets what is a prophet somebody that speaks by supposed to speak by inspiration of God and also foretell events but there's gonna be false ones and but he says about these false ones they are going to show great signs and wonders folks people will get healed in their meetings people will speak in tongues in their meetings they will speak in tongues they will foretell some events that will happen and this has happened in history anybody you want to talk about one of the most prolific false prophets that fooled many many people because his prophecies came to pass and miracles happened around him look up Edgar Cayce I wrote about him in the polluted church the man would would put a book under his pillow and when he woke up the next morning he would know the entire book he could tell people where they live their address their phone number he operated in the supernatural and I'm gonna go and tell you like I said a few weeks ago these false prophets that are out here just by the hundreds oh yeah there's some healings in their meetings but let me go and tell you I've spent time in Africa people go don't go to the witch doctors and pay money because it doesn't work in India oh yeah they get healed of stuff they go to a guru go to the witch doctor in Africa go to the ancient healing arts person in China there's all kinds of stuff just because somebody gets healed doesn't mean it's God Almighty doesn't mean it's from Jesus and that was so sad is is that Christians seem to be like oh if signs and wonders are happening it's got to be God no and
also something we forget about do you know ministries can come along and have none of that the Bible I love what Jesus said John the Baptist did no miracle and yet he said he was the greatest of the prophets well would that go over well in the modern Charismatic Pentecostal Church no because now what's happened is is the goal has become the supernatural no matter what I want to show you we got some false prophets and stuff let's put up the praying medic now anybody heard of this praying medic fella me and him had a clash years ago I actually rebuked him and warned him about this road he was going down and it started about 2011 2012 is when he and I had this clash look at what he started traveling in the spirit made simple yeah we've got we've got Pentecostal charismatic preachers and teachers out here talking about that you can travel your spirit can travel outside your body and go places this is astral projection okay they try to claim it's not but let me just just go ahead and break this down for you I'll put up the other guy didn't I have you another one that had it Bruce Allen oh yeah here's another one from him seeing in the spirit made simple dream interpretation now let me pause for a minute dream interpretation if anybody's written a book about dream interpretation I got another one on dream interpretation you need to throw the book out the window it needs to go in the fireplace because I'm gonna tell you why if somebody says to you gives you a list of things and said if you have a dream about a snake it means this or if you dream about a vehicle or car it means this and they give you a list of what things mean it's divination because the only one that can tell you what your dream means if it's a dream from the Lord what the things in it means the only one that can tell you what it means for you is the Holy Spirit period and in something in a dream like a bus in a dream something like what that prophet John Paul Jackson had a dream interpretation book he came out with in the 80s he's dead now but remember me telling you the story about the woman who was healed the bone cancer woman that was healed you know Baptist pastors wife friends of mine brought him over told him about healing I mean she was dying she'd been to the cancer specialist in Arkansas and everything else she was dying her bones
were breaking she had cancer tumors from head to toe and came over explain healing that by his stripes Jesus stripes we were healed elders anointed sick and pray the prayer faith right and I said do you believe it and she said they said yes now here's the Baptist pastor and his wife going yeah because I just for the first hour I just gave him scripture anointed her with oil in the name of Jesus and prayed over her me as an elder of the church and she went back to the cancer doctor and there was not a cancer cell in her body not a broken bone in her by she was completely instantaneously healed she began to testify she lived in Montgomery testify all over Montgomery about three four or five months later I don't remember exactly I got word that the cancer had come back and it was all back as bad as it was before remember Jesus told some people go and send no more or less the worst thing come upon you right well what did I find out I you know I called her husband I was friends with him I said what in the world's going on he didn't know but then a person that worked with her that I knew said she's got a dream interpretation book that she just can't put down she just uses it every day so what she was doing she was using this dream every time she had a dream she was using this Christian's dream interpretation book to help her divine what her dream meant she was practicing witchcraft basically instead of asking the Holy Spirit what does my dream mean show me what it means Lord she was depending on this book and when I told her it's witchcraft it's divination nobody can tell you what your dream means unless God gives it to him or he gives it to you and he said there's no list to decipher there's no there's no formula that you can write out in a book to tell people how to interpret dreams it's nonsense she didn't won't let go she was addicted to it and basically I told her I said okay you keep on you're gonna die you're gonna die because you won't let go of this book this witchcraft so it took about a month of trying to convince I would talk to her just say you've got to get rid of it here she got rid of it she finally got rid of it we broke the demonic stronghold of divination of witchcraft off urban commanded to leave and guess what cancer left again completely and she's still alive to this day but you see what what I'm talking about you open the door to this stuff um when he talks about go back to the seeing in the spirit made simple go ahead and put up the Bruce Allen one too there's this book by this guy dr. Bruce Allen please don't start following these people I was
doing some I'm doing research on this side cuz I'm gonna explain something here's his book gazing into glory every believers birthright to walk in the supernatural oh it sounds great doesn't it but let me tell you what these guys are doing I'm gonna tell you exactly what they're doing they're teaching visualization or what's called guided imagery or imaginative prayer okay and this is where you use your own mind your own imaginations to begin to picture scenes in the Bible or picture places that you want to go to and through this visualization using your imagination it starts to become reality spiritual reality because you're using an occult technique I could give you what just just look up visualization in witchcraft in fact they say to get good at witchcraft you got to get good at visualization all right now I've read I read last night about 60 pages in this book I know exactly what he's teaching and what he's teaching is to create these images in your mind or places he's got one too about traveling in the spirit or journeying in the spirit nowhere does the Bible say we're do that now this is what they'll do they'll quote where Paul said he was caught up to the third heaven whether in the body rather body cannot tell right they will talk about where John was caught up to heaven he was in the spirit in the Lord's day and the Lord said come up here right our when Ezekiel when God grabbed him he said God grabbed me by the lock of my hair and yanked me up out of my my spirit out of my body and took me he was in Babylon took him to Jerusalem to show him what was going on God can do that I have experienced it one time in 36 years where God took me out of my body to go do something to show me something I did not initiate it through chanting repetitive prayer or visualization I did not initiate it it was supernatural God initiated it with Ezekiel God initiated with John he initiated with Paul they did not do this we got Christians out there saying they can visualize the courtroom of heaven yes another thing you hear that nonsense run away I'm so sick of these dang fads that come into the church world I'm gonna visualize the courts of heaven we got there we got these crazy prophets some of this standing there looking at the devil's book of accusations in heaven the devil's book in heaven no you idiot you're not there it's your imagination and I'm not look the Bible you okay I'll be nice and do it the King James way brutish which means stupid and it really is it's mind-boggling I mean Chad
knows Chad study this stuff in depth I mean they've been toying in the CIA and every in the military with remote viewing teaching people how to start getting into a meditative state and start visualizing where they want to go and then they actually go there and this has been practiced by witches and Satanists for centuries upon centuries the whole goal of witches is to get into an altered state of consciousness so they can travel with their spirit outside their bodies and come listen to conversations and do all kind of stuff I've been attacked in the spirit by human spirits a lot of people don't understand that level of warfare that's whole different thing they can get an attack by demons I've been attacked by witches astral projecting to my house but this is what they're doing there these Christians are teaching practices from Buddhism and Hinduism and they're Christianizing them and and I'm gonna tell you I believe this is why we've been in the season where we don't see many real powerful and notable miracles because there is so much mixture God is not going to give his glory to in the same that gives us glory to no one but he is not going to put his stamp of approval on something that's full of mixture you see what like Mike Bickle Mike Bickle's I hop International House of Prayer 24 hours a day seven day a week prayer but this is what they're into I have it for his book Mike Bickle's book Passion for Jesus it's all in there about visualizing this and creating this let me tell you something what you never heard was about Mike Bickle's crippled brother who never got healed and how many prophecies there were over the years that he was going to be healed and get up and walk out of that wheelchair and it never happened and they hid that from the most of the public didn't even know that but see this is why now let me let me show you this you got my Jesuit stuff let's put up the Jesuit so let's go let's go back to where this all began now it goes back further than this but this is when it was really kicked in now everybody see that website up top there Jesuit org UK all right I was just these are screenshots from my phone last night Jesuits the Jesuits were formed by a man named Ignatius Loyola 1500s to combat the Protestant Reformation his job and his Society of Jesus or the Jesuits that they were called their mission were to be the spies the infiltrators and the assassins of the
Roman Catholic Church to infiltrate deceive and kill and stop and maim or hinder or get derail the Protestant churches and Reformation that was spreading throughout the world I mean it was people had finally broken free from the idolatry and false doctrine and demonic uncleanness of Roman Catholicism so what he had to do is is to put it to have a a group like this dedicated to this you had to have a spirituality connected to I mean a supernatural element you don't have a supernatural element then you're you're nothing okay this is why our own government sought remote viewing and all this other stuff because they were always looking for a supernatural element Hitler was after he was after relics that he thought would have give him supernatural power there's always been this hunt for the supernatural but Ignatius Loyola created what they call and this is on their page imaginative prayer so this is going back to the 1500s and he began to teach his people this but this is what they used y'all need to hear me to supplant the real gifts and power the Holy Spirit to give people a counterfeit a shortcut let's let it explain here we'll go down through the slides here so what is imaginative contemplation imaginative contemplating is all about getting into getting to know Jesus now it sounds good right it is a method of prayer in which you imagine yourself as present in a gospel scene stepping into the story and encountering Jesus there it was st. Ignatius firm belief that God can speak to you just as clearly in your imagination as through your thoughts this way of praying will help you to see more clearly love more clearly and follow more nearly the person of Jesus now this is what they say this is the Jesuits play in the game no the part they know what it's going to do is introduce you to a false Jesus and a false Holy Spirit a counterfeit because you're using an occult technique that they've known about for centuries because they're saints like Teresa of Avila st. Bernard of Clairvaux Madame Guillaume all of these so-called mystics is Roman Catholic mystics practiced these techniques repetitive prayer what did Jesus say when you pray use not vain repetitions as the heathen do so the moment you start using vain repetitions
over and over and over again you are disobeying scripture and opening the door to the demonic immediately so any any Christian I don't care if Catholic or not if you use repetitive prayer mantra type chanting type prayer you're opening the door to the demonic because you are disobeying the command of Jesus don't pray like the pagan heathens do I couldn't be a more clear command and the moment you disobey it you're not submitting to God you're actually giving place to the devil but the moment you delve into imaginative visualization you are operating in a second level of this demonic occult technique and I want to show you that the Jesuits adopted this because what they're what their plan was the Jesuits infiltrated every major church in the world they infiltrated every major seminary and Bible College in the world every major university in the world and when they would teach people spirituality or how to operate in the supernatural what they taught them is imaginative prayer and repetitive prayer now what's the wild is is that back say in the 70s and the 80s we were all well aware that this was satanic demonic occult Eastern religion practices but now it's been accepted everywhere we got a little prayer group here in town teaching you can travel out in the spirit now do I know that because some of our folks here have attended this meeting and when you start hearing stuff about traveling out in the spirit going places in the spirit this pray medic says you can do it by your will if you're doing it by your will let me tell you what what's happening if it's you if your imagination is creating an image of Jesus I can tell you if it's coming from your imagination that means it's not coming from the Holy Spirit so what you have if you've created an image of Jesus in your mind that you're praying to and talking to you've created an idol even though it's in your imagination I remember Spongebob imagination no your imagination is not what got in fact when the word uses the term meditate it uses these different words it means your intellect level your thought your logical side we're not Christians are never to blank out our minds we're never to chant repetitive things phrases sounds words until we until we create an altered state of
consciousness or a feeling or a spiritual encounter see what Satan has done is he is he's given people who are hungry for the supernatural but not discerning and not patient and don't want to do it the right way they shortcuts and these guys are selling these books left and right let's keep going I'll see you a little bit more the idea that God can speak to people through their imagination can seem a bit strange yeah isn't this just making things up in your head yes it is but they say on the contrary you get what I'm saying making things up in your head is not of God you understand now I understand we use our minds artists do to paint things and we use our minds to think about I'm not talking about that I'm talking about when you're trying to communicate with God and connect with him this is not the way you do it this is the way Satanist and witches do and here's what's interesting a lot of these Christians that have started doing this mantra repetitive type prayer visualizing and then this traveling out in the spirit when they want to are going to the third heaven they talk about flying through outer space Jordan did it one time when he was before he was saved said he walked on Mars but what do we know now there's not outer space you know you start hearing one of these prophets talk about the globe the sphere and the space and planets and stuff you know automatically why do we know that there was the vision they just saw is not of God because it's not according to scripture we don't even I mean again how do you judge visions prophecies by the word of God well pastor Dean I was visualizing and Jesus and he was talking to me and he helped me travel outside my body I I wanted to go visit my friend in Taiwan and pray for them and I went and traveled through the third it is the second heaven and by Mars and and then came back down and laid hands on them and they got healed and said I was there you're a witch that's what you are you're a Christian witch and guess what I was in books a million yesterday and there's a book on the witchcraft I had to walk down the witchcraft aisle one for the Christian witch I went Christian witch now that is an oxymoron is it not Christian witchcraft yeah now I want you go with me to this here I want to show you something go to Isaiah
chapter 2 and it's just oh we're it's only 10 after 12 so we just got a little bit more on this I'll show you something that how many of you are guilty still of not reading my book the polluted church you're in sin if you haven't God made me write it and all of this is in there if you want to understand the counterfeit you want to understand how there's the counterfeit supernatural that's why God had me write that book because there's a lot of people that write books against the supernatural but they're against everything they're cessationist and they don't believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit the power of God and visions and things but I do but I I'm wise enough now after many years to know the difference between the real and the counterfeit and this is what we have to do as Christians and I almost called today knowing the source because you have to know the source of where stuff comes from whatever teaching it is I can assure you if it comes from the Jesuits run away they are not your friends Isaiah 2 go down to verse 5 said Oh house of Jacob come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord now what is the light of the Lord what is Psalm 119 105 say thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path so when the Bible talks about walking in the light it's not visualizing some light it's talking about the light of God's Word reading it knowing it so he says come on people of God let's walk in the light of the Lord but then Isaiah begins to prophesy and he says thou he says therefore thou has forsaken thy people the house of Jacob because they be replenished from the east and are soothsayers like the Philistines and they please themselves in the children of strangers or aliens or the pagans heathens outside of the kingdom of God please themselves now let's break this down when he says here that they be replenished from the east that word plants means to be satisfied to be filled they fill themselves with the things of the east now Buddhism we can go back 1500 years before Jesus so when Jesus was not Hinduism we go back to these Eastern religions they were around a long time not saying that God Almighty
the God of Abraham executing Jacob has been around long before all of them he was the beginning well what I'm talking about when Jesus came on the scene physically to walk here when he was referring to don't pray like the heathens do the pagans with repetitive prayer he was talking about the Hindu the Buddhist you understand he was referring to this and he's saying you don't do it like that but he said here my people have become replenished from the east and they are soothsayers they're not prophets they're soothsayers like the Philistines they're psychics they're mediums they're fortune tellers but they call themselves prophets now or seers see let me tell you something anybody tells you I'm gonna teach you how to see in the spirit brother you better run away because what I'm gonna tell you is what you seek God and the gifts of the Spirit are as God wills not as you will and if you are with walking with the Lord he will give you what he wants when you you don't conjure it up in your own mind if you're conjuring stuff up in your own mind you are opening the door for all kinds of demons and this is why the devil will test us have just just do whatever he wants in your life he says they please themselves and the children of strangers or the some translate say aliens but it just means people outside of the kingdom of God outside of Israel the heathen now is this the way we want to be no now let's go to Ezekiel 8 now this is part of our Bible study Pelham Friday night got this ahead of schedule before y'all but we covered some of this the other night we had a good Bible study in Pelham but Ezekiel chapter 8 this is where the Lord takes Ezekiel out of his body his spirit out of his body takes him to Jerusalem to show him had nothing to do with Ezekiel doesn't say Ezekiel was meditating or visualizing or chanting but in fact God took him to back to Jerusalem to show him what the elders were doing in his temple right before the glory of God left and he killed them all and the Lord said I'm gonna I'm about to kill all these people I'm gonna start with these elders that are doing this stuff in my house but this is what he says he saw the great abominations that he saw in the house of God go down to verse 12 you can read this whole chapter later says then
he said unto me son of man has thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark every man in the chambers of his imagery that means in the deep recesses of their imagination have you seen what they're doing and he said for they say the Lord seeth us not the Lord hath forsaken the earth and if you go down he tells you what they were doing verse 16 and he brought me to the inner court of the Lord's house and behold at the door of the temple of the Lord between the porch and the altar were five and twenty men with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east and they worshiped the Sun toward these they were practicing Eastern religion the practice of yoga is to get up and face the east the rising of the Sun and every position in yoga is a bow to the Sun God am I correct teacher it's Sun worship I mean the same as we get from ancient Egypt they worshiped what the Sun Roman Catholicism y'all seen the Eucharist pull up give me a Sunburst Eucharist do you think it's a coincidence that they put the wafer in a Sunburst and then everyone bows to it Roman Catholicism it's Sun worship S-U-N not S-O-N and you know when they say that Jesus becomes the cookie or the cookie becomes the literal flesh of Jesus remember the Bible said if they say behold here is Christ or there believe it not it's a cookie but you know there's signs and wonders in the Catholic Church where they've had cookies turn into human flesh and they've had wine turned into human blood it's supernatural all right it's demonic they've had you know Roman Catholic mystics have wounds that bleed and are painful they suffer and then they'll just appear and then they'll disappear signs and wonders apparitions of Mary Fatima and all these others millions upon millions of people signs and wonders follow this idolatrous system what'd I tell you yeah put up a look at there it's kind of blurry but you can see it you just just look up monstrance that they put the wafer in Sun worship now let me go and tell you the Bible is very clear in Exodus 20 the Ten Commandments that you're not to
make any graven images of anything that is in heaven in the earth or under the earth to bow down to it the moment you bow to the Sun I don't care you first of all ladies if you're wearing yoga pants out in public it's time to repent but if you're bowing to the Sun I don't know oh I'm not doing I'm not doing it I'm not doing I'm not worshiping the Sun yes you are and you want to know you see this one time about knowing your your adversary see he's tricky he has methods and he loves to Christianize put Christian terms on occult techniques to get access to you and if you open the door through eastern religion practices if you open the door the demons are coming in now guess what happens if you open the door a little bit and a few of them come in now they have a position within you to do more deceiving this is why you want to know why the church is in so much trouble this is why I'm gonna tell you right now and I'm just gonna say it pastor Greg Locke's church is going to go down the tubes even further than already has because he keeps inviting these people into his church like Joseph Z I'm just being straight with you I've watched these false prophets I saw when Bob Jones the prophet Bob Jones not affiliated with the college Bob Jones this is a different Bob Jones he's passed away now but Paul came Bob Jones these charismatic Pentecostal prophets Mike Bickle with them John Paul Jackson I saw when they went to the vineyard churches see I've been around a little while in this thing in the 80s I knew when they went but what a lot of people don't know is a guy named Richard Foster who wrote a best-selling book back in the 70s called the celebration of discipline who is all about this visualization techniques are contemplative imaginative prayer guess what John Wimber the head of the vineyard churches which the vineyard churches were were all over the world and gave some of the best praise and worship music that we've ever heard and John Wimber I believe started out legit but he let these people come in practicing this counterfeit supernatural ministry and it polluted the entire vineyard churches all of them and at the time Kansas City Church of Mike Bickle was a vineyard
fellowship church the Toronto revival was a vineyard church now I believe the beginning of the Toronto revival was God and then these people came in and totally contaminated it with this counterfeit supernatural that's why they had people barking like dogs and squawking like chickens I'm sorry but I'll see anywhere where the anointing of God makes you bark like a dog or squawk like a chicken it's foolishness and it's demonic but I have watched these people I remember the Brownsville revival was one of the most anointed and one of the purest moves of God because I really believe a Steve Hill and John Kilpatrick their hearts were sincere and they were about trying to keep it pure but even at the end toward the end of the revival they let these people come in and start ministering and it ended I was there I saw it happen I went week after week I went there for years to the Brownsville nobody can tell me I was a eyewitness I was behind the stage I was in the office I talked to Lindell I talked to pastor Kilpatrick I talked to Steve Hill I talked to dr. Michael Brown I was there all the time I was counseling at the altar when they give altar calls my one of my good friends was the children's pastor so nobody can these people that think they know what happened to the Brownsville revival that never went to a service but I saw when it got off track the great Azusa Street revival 1906 was of God an outpouring of the Holy Spirit the baptism of the Holy Spirit came the gift of tongues came it was a powerful prayer meeting it was so powerful that the fire of God rested upon the building like the burning bush people thought the building was on fire called fire department people would get within two blocks of the church and fall down under the power of God and get up and go to the church and get saved but what happened back then is the the occult spiritist the counterfeit operators in the demonic realm came in pretending to speak in tongues pretending to have words of knowledge and prophecies for people and guess what this is the sad part the leadership of the Azusa Street revival discerned these people that they were witches and spiritists and occultists but didn't stop them didn't expose them and cast them out of the church and make sure they kept the the move of God pure I'm gonna tell you right now I don't know of a pure charismatic Pentecostal church I don't know of one in the country because you open the door to people that like like Bethel who opened the door to these same people it's the usual suspects but there's a bunch of new ones now I could I can
name I mean I hurt people's feelings people are still trying to defend Julie Greene to me how many false prophecies that you have to give or you say enough's enough and you got this Hank Coonam and guy they're everywhere but what's funny is I can usually trace them back to a ministry that is doing the visualization I can show you in the polluted church I show where Todd Bentley teaches that Rick Joyner taught it all the so-called prophets on that stage from Jim Gall to Shay on to Campbell the crazy woman shaking her head like a freak all of that all of them who who had all these mighty prophecies over Todd Bentley that he was gonna be the next apostle of revival while he's cheating on his wife not one of them said you're in adultery they all got exposed the whole charismatic Pentecostal prophetic movement got exposed in 2008 and yet we're still for the most part the majority of the Pentecostal charismatic church is still fawning and following and slobbering at the mouth over these people pray for me I need a word I need to be activated oh I went to I went to one of these meetings well Greg Greg locks deliverance conference we went and one of the speakers talked about I'm gonna activate you I'm saying you ain't activating me and nothing you will not be laying hands on me activate you want to be activated pray and fast and read your Bible until you get full of the Holy Ghost stop with this foolishness we don't need to find some new technique that's really an old technique yeah that's it old occult techniques wrapped up in new Christian packages and boy are they making the money selling these books because people want to be supernatural how about just be super right now super at reading your Bible super at just praying with your normal mind your your words your intellect and really when it's talking about that it's your intellect we're supposed to we're supposed to know God's
word and know the truth by our intellect we're not to make up stuff in our imaginations but he tells he warns and it's interesting going all the way back to Ezekiel's time that the elders in Jerusalem were into using their the deep chambers of their imagery and they were in Eastern religion they were worshiping the Sun and what's interesting too is you go over to Ezekiel 13 and what do we find about the false prophets what do you say about them verse verse two son of man prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesied Satan and them that prophesy out of their own hearts that's out of their own minds thus sayeth the Lord God woe to the foolish prophets that follow their own spirit and have seen nothing their own if you're if you're creating images in your own heart and mind through the use of your imagination it is from you not the Holy Spirit I know I've said that formally beat it into you if I got to sit on the floor and contemplate and create what I think heaven looks like or what I think Jesus looks like and try to communicate with that until that thing starts communicating with me it is of my creation it's not the Creator and it's interesting how Romans warned that they would be worshiping the creature instead of the Creator a lot of people create fantasies in their mind a lot of people create fantasies in their mind Siri didn't understand that oh Lord help I don't mind repeating it for Siri it's okay maybe she'll learn something right but when I say no you're your adversary when I say no the wiles of the devil he's crept into the church and he's crept in he's more he's more subtle and he's more sophisticated but this is why Paul said give no place to the devil and I'm going to tell you any submission to anything from the Roman Catholic Church is opening the door to demons partaking of their so-called Eucharist and their whole hocus-pocus they go through with that from kneeling at a you know they'll put the cookie in a little tabernacle up front and people bow down and worship the cookie you don't worship the cookie but the moment
see this is why Paul said about idols you know what he said in first Corinthians about the about idols he says the idols not anything a statue of wood whatever it's not anything he says it's the demons that are attached to the idol and that when you submit to the idol you have what he said fellowship with demons the word fellowship is the same word used for fellowship with the Holy Spirit it's partnership it's unification with and if we open the door Ecclesiastes 10 8 and this gets into the area of deliverance a lot of people Christian can't have a demo oh yes they can all you got to ask is one question can a Christian sin can a Christian practice some occult technique and think they're gonna get away with that no no no no if you give place to the devil Paul would have said to Christians in Ephesus who were saints he said they were saints and faithful he said give no place to the devil he wouldn't have said that if it wasn't possible for Christians to give place to the devil and then here we have this he that dig at the pit shall fall into it and whosoever breaks the hedge a serpent will bite him if you dig the pit yourself he said if you break the hedge yet God puts a protective hedge around his people but if you break it by participating in something satanic demonic occultic a serpents gonna bite you let me tell you what happens I've been bitten by a water moccasin you know what they do fangs go in you it's not pleasant and they leave some poison in you to kill you and that's what it's about when you open the door to demons who Jesus said are like serpents and scorpions they they insert they go into you not upon you they go in and they leave something in there to bring about harm to you and if you've opened the door to the devil through this imaginative prayer or repetitive prayer or letting one of these Christian gurus lay hands on you then you have given place to the devil and I'm gonna tell you that's why you've had more struggles in your life if you've submitted to these people because I made the mistake when I was a young man of letting that Bob Jones false prophet lay hands on me and pray for me and the moment I did guess what it opened the door it gave place to all the demon spirits of perversion hordums and lusts that that man had and boy let me tell you what I had a rough week until I bound a repented first because I knew I shouldn't let that man lay hands on me this is before I really knew about him but I had a check in my spirit when I got to the meeting when he because he preached his sermon was so convoluted and
off-base I should have known but I was young and zealous about I want God and this is where the devil gets us we want the supernatural it's nothing wrong with that we want the gifts of the Holy Spirit we want to see the power of God manifest but we cannot open the doors to the counterfeit or take shortcuts and I'm gonna tell you what it wasn't it took me a week to bind other demons that came in from there and to deal with my own self and then I had to help so the people that the church folk that I took to his meeting oh Lord so I had to help pray with them cast all the deep and then come to find out when I found out what that man was about I found out he was a sexual deviant he was in sexual sin while he's in the ministry and he's the one talking about traveling outside your body he's the one that taught most of them this stuff Bob Jones that false profit that laid hands on me so you want to talk about knowing personally and so when I hear these people like okay this doctor this dr. Bruce Allen that I showed today I've got transcript of a video I've got it in my phone I just didn't send it to Kelsey where he says guess what guess what meetings he went to regularly back in the day Bob Jones Paul Kane the same suspects they've been polluting the entire church world with their counterfeit false prophecy spirits of divination familiar spirits and let me tell you there's a what's sad is there's a lot of Christians who have come out of Roman Catholicism who've never been delivered from their Roman Catholic demons let me tell you Cheetra I'll tell you Cheetra comes out of you know she's from India she come out of your her family's into Hinduism but she said she never really that was never really what she was into she she loved Mother Mary because see over there you could just add you just add a God in there you don't have to get rid of the other one she just add some more it's okay there's so many but when we did her deliverance you would have thought because of the generational stuff of Hinduism in her family that would have been the demons that would have been passed down to her that I thought well that's gonna be the stronghold that's gonna be the real strong ones that we're gonna have to cast out no here's when we got to the Roman Catholic idolatry of bowing and praying to Mother Mary boy she manifested and now she don't mind me telling this I mean here's the PhD in physics demons taking over and won't let her speak I tried to get her to say it to say in the name of Jesus she wouldn't she couldn't even move her mouth she couldn't even talk but when we got rid of the demon spirit of Mother Mary and Roman Catholic idolatry she got free another lady
years ago we prayed for that had been into Roman Catholicism because she's Bolivian we started I thought it was going to be you know she had all kind of problems constant migraines she had constant she had nosebleeds she had partial in and out paralysis on the left side of her body got all kind of stuff going on she had to have a hysterectomy at some point I mean she had one thing after another and we get down to pray with her and we're praying over some other stuff and I'm thinking you know she had a sister that was into Santeria and she went to like one Santeria meeting I thought oh this is what's gonna be this is what's gonna be the big demon no we got to the demon spirits of Roman Catholicism that were in her idolatry Mary worship I got we bound those demons in Jesus name and started to cast them out of her it was like somebody turned on a faucet the blood poured from her nose like I mean just it didn't just run out it shot out she threw up stuff that she didn't eat for dinner cuz she ate dinner with us there was some weird blobs of stuff that came out of her and we were there for a while getting the Roman Catholic idolatry demons out of her but let me tell you when she got delivered no more migraines no more paralysis no more diesel issues she was because she was having in-and-out paralysis like just oh well I guess now like Bell palsy type stuff is coming go come and go and she had to learn how to fight though she had to learn how to after that she had to learn to resist the devil because she was a little weak and passive she would say stuff like she'd start getting attacked again after her delivery she called me one time she went to visit her family down in Miami she called me one time I'm starting to get attacked again and I said you got to command them to go she goes demons you have to go oh you need no chance she said you need to go I said what did you just say I said no no no no no it's not what you do you say I bind these demons and I command you to go for me in Jesus name you do it with authority and with force and this is another thing when I'm get to the the the principle of binding and loosing you have to do you bind demons you never loose demons you bind demons and loose people but it's simple you get attacked by a spirit of lust bind it I bind the spirits of lust in Jesus name you get attacked by anger I bind the demon spirits of anger wrath rage you get attacked by witchcraft I bind the spirits of witchcraft divination sorcery you get you feeling heavy and depressed I bind the spirit of heaviness and depression despair by these demons and command them to go for me in Jesus name
this is how you resist and speak the word and quit being lazy you're told to take every thought captive that means control your mind that means every thought somebody say every thought put this last passage it'll be like I promise last one I'm Pentecost so I get three closings this is third one second Corinthians 10 3 through 5 there he says here for though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh what did you say here for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling of down of strongholds casting down imaginations not using imagination casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God notice he said and that means imaginations about itself right there and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought if you don't control your mind Satan will and this is what he's after if he can control your mind then he has you period because what you constantly think on you will do as a man thinketh in his heart so is he the from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks abundance you meditate on depression and things that are depressing you you will be depressed maybe even suicidal you let yourself if you keep letting the thoughts grow one upon another one upon another you hear me you got to know your adversary the number one battleground of this warfare is in your mind and your mind is your soul your soul is your mind will and emotions your intellect your consciousness your spirit is completely different than your soul and then you have a body you are a three-part being so I'm gonna tell you what the only tell you the main thing the Lord told me but I was sitting back there about why he said go this direction today he said cuz there's still people in here still people listening to me you've heard me preach
on spiritual warfare and deliverance you may be even heard me talk about the counterfeit supernatural the devil brings into the church but you're still being lazy and letting the devil beat on your mind letting him tempt you until you give into it and you're still fooling around with some of these false contaminators like I said there's probably ninety nine point nine percent of Pentecostal and Charismatic churches in America I would not set foot in because they have not kept themselves from being contaminated and look we've had folks come in here and try that crap and I say I send them right back out the door we've had witches coming here Satan is coming here government agents coming here to see Christians coming here it won't listen and stop their their stupid stuff they're doing and I'll give them a chance I'll let a Satanist a witch sitting here hopefully they'll get saved I've seen Satanist and witches get saved but if they start doing their hocus-pocus and interfering with our prayer meeting like one tried to do I stopped her in the middle of her prayer and said go you're not going to interfere with our prayer meeting what's funny about her some of y'all remember cuz y'all were here but what I found out about her was that she ran into a friend of mine lives down in Florida and he told me he said did you remove somebody from your church not too long ago in the prayer meeting I said yeah he told me her name he said she was talking to my wife she had worked at a place down in Florida before she came here and my friend's wife was talking to her and he said while his wife was talking to her before even got to her the Lord said she's a Satan she's a witch and then he point blank ask her some stuff and she admitted to it so here what I'm saying yeah we're just we're gonna do our best I mean every church I'll tell you this much every church and especially if they're doing anything for God Satan will try to send infiltrators to it every church and the ones that do nothing about it guess how many their church is loaded with them and they're usually keeping the children that's where they go for first is the children's ministry then they want to get in the prayer meeting and interfere with that then they want to sure love get into a sunny school class letting start teaching and build credibility yeah there's an eight-point plan that Satanists have to infiltrate a church and they implement it all the time you should be surprised the Jesuits oh we got Jesuit agents everywhere Paul said we would live in perilous time folks and the Lord told me years ago he told me he
said you're gonna have everything from government agents to high level Satanists are gonna come to your church it's gonna happen sometimes the Lord shows me immediately sometimes he lets some time go by and then we finally figure it out it's not my control I just pray for him to show me but you should be careful we've had some you know we are very strict at Skyfall about having a prayer team and only these people can lay hands on you and we've had people still even though you got big orange badge on only let these people pray for you we got and tell people in there out in the crowd don't be praying for people if you don't you're not if we didn't ask you and you don't have one of these badges on we still people try to weasel their way down and sneak and lay hands on people we had to throw people out of Skyfall 2019 I go sit down or you're out of here because see let me tell you shepherds first priority should be protect the flock so I don't mind people say oh he's mean I got people all the time they hate me oh he actually throws people out of church like that's some weird thing Paul did it and he said what we were not to put up with we're not to put up with people with divination spirits trying to infiltrate our church or people bringing in false doctrine or people sowing division and strife we're not to tolerate that we're not to just let that go on we're not just oh we just love them until they change no while they're dividing the church or are contaminating someone with demon spirits no I had a witch try to come to my church when I was pastored in Montgomery you know what she wanted to do I knew she was a witch and you would tell you why I knew she was a witch first of all the Lord showed me and and she kept doing very seductive things toward me and then she made the mistake of leaving her notebook at our house when I after a Bible study would had at my house and opened up her little notebook to where she had a calendar where it said that her assignment was to make me fall into sexual sin with her within two years yeah saw it written in her notebook and she kept trying to get into it that time we had a children's church ministry she kept trying to get in there oh she was I'll keep the nursery I'll do I said you know you're not you're not keeping anybody you're not doing anything I said I don't see you lay hands on everybody you're not just sit out and then finally I told her I said look we know what you are I let her stay for a while praying for her hoping that she would come clean and tell me the truth and I sat her down and I said look here's the deal I know who you are and I know what you're doing and I said I said I saw what was in your notebook I said now one of two things you can come clean you can tell me the
truth you can say I'm ready to come out of this out of the Satanism and the witchcraft and repent I said we'll help you and do whatever we can do for you I said but if you lie to me right now and act like this is not so then you're out of here don't come back so then she starts crying oh yeah that's none of that's true I'm like just drive the tears it ain't working stop them immediately see most of you've been moved by oh I must be wrong because she crying actresses no and you know what she wouldn't admit it she sat there and crossed her arms it was a little got a little miss stubborn I said all right do not come back to this church she went to another church in town and they just let her stay there and she just tore it up she had people no kind of sexual sin with her and just dividing and false doctrines and who knows she probably got they probably let her work in the children's ministry so this one you know when Nancy and I we had a little break in like 2010 where we weren't doing the church so we would we'd go to other churches sometimes did we ever drop little faith Marie off in a nursery anywhere new never either she'd be in a little car seat in this next to us I remember walking into one church where were we in Georgia we looked in the children's that room oh but it's a church shouldn't we trust the people in the church aren't they all sweet little Christians no they're not no they're not know your adversary because what does it say in second Corinthians to let if we are ignorant of the devil's devices he will get an advantage over us ignorance will kill you ignorance will open the doors so let's stand you got a good win all right let's do a song before we leave I know you've been here a little while but like I said you know you know back in the old days you had church Sunday morning and then you had church Sunday night so what I do is just combine the two but again what you're getting here this is not sermonets for Christian that's this is teaching this is training and this is why we're here longer than the mega church down there
