This is uh the Lord did something really special. Um my dad passed away uh two years ago, a little over two years ago. And um you know um I just love him so much. And um you know it's like every night I would tell the Lord even though he passed away. I would tell God in my prayers, you know, God tell my dad I love him and and tell him that I'm doing good and you know and uh although I'm the black sheep of the family, I'm going to be the one that makes it. I'm going to see you again, you know. and uh you know and and and then uh the Lord would just you know the Holy Spirit would just you know it was like the Lord just like yeah you know he knows you know I'm I'm going to bless that and I'm going to you know I knew that he knew uh that the Lord told him or he heard me and uh so anyways uh this was Monday at 3:00 a.m. I looked in my journal today and um it was the night that Rod was sharing or or the day that Rod was going to share uh the sermon on rejection and different uh spirits, you know, things like that. And um all my life I have always felt I felt that I wasn't worthy and that I was dumb and I didn't belong. And uh I always just felt, you know, like the the odd man out. And um so um anyways, just to let you know that. Um, so, um, Monday at 3:00 a.m., uh, I had a dream and I had a dream that it was, uh, my family, we were standing in the backyard and it was funny because it was super sunny out and it was like, it was like the 70s, 80s, how I remembered the backyard because of the crab grass we used to have. And it was super sunny out. I mean, extremely, it was really interesting how bright it was. It was almost, you know, you couldn't really. And there was a gentleman standing there. We were standing around him and he was talking about Falling Springs, Big Bear, saying that he just put some money down on some property and that he got a cabin there. And it's interesting because my dad, we used to go to Falling Springs and there was this particular cabin our family used to uh stay at and he just loved Big Bear. And um so we're standing around in the group and um I was on the outside and um on the side of the house here comes walking my dad and I I kind of look I what that's my dad you know and I was really excited you know to see my dad and uh he he was walking like the look on his face was like he was just really really deep in thought. He was like, "Wow." You know, he had that look and he walked around and he came over and he bypassed the family and he sat on the in about the middle of the backyard on the grass Indian style with his arms like this and he just sat there and I left the group and I went over. I was so thrilled to see my dad and I sat down the same way and um my my head was perfect right where his neck was right here and I was oh dad you know was doing that you know and when I reached leaned in to do that I went like that and my skin felt his skin and I felt his warmth and I felt his whiskers and I even smelled his dial soap and my dad's from the south so he was dial soap on his hair. He didn't believe in shampoo. So he always had this dial soap smell and um and you know he was just so in other words I I had it was like all of a sudden I had my five senses. I could smell him. I could feel him. And he was really really there. I was sitting with my dad and he put his arm around me like this. He he never looked at me. He just looked straight ahead and he put his arm around me like this and he just kind of, you know, held me close and and I kind of straightened my neck up and all of a sudden I I I felt uh his his mouth right here and he said to me, I heard his voice and he said to me, he said, "You are not

Thank you. You were not worthless and you were not dumb. And I mean he was just said it with such meaning to me and and then he said something really interesting. He said just staring and I looked at him. I saw the side of his face and I looked at him. I was I was really surprised. And he was just like, I'm a dumb dumb dumb daddy. And you know, I guess because of the way my dad was raised with verbal abuse, he was always a macho type man, you know, and he was pretty um verbally, I guess, abusive before the Lord got a hold of him. And it took many years, but I saw God change my dad from a really verbally abusive person to a from a wild man to a really really really loving man. And um and so um I guess maybe that's where I got some of that, but I think most of it too was my drug and alcohol use. I was just the the black sheep in the family. I was a lot like my dad. I was very wild like he was when he was younger. But anyways, um um to make a long story short, I guess um won't take too much time. Um I woke up and I just I sat straight up in bed cuz I was in shock. I needed to hear that so desperately and I had no idea. And you know, but it's true. I did think that I was, you know, unworthy and and I was worthless and I was dumb. And I mean, I would hear that tape play dumb especially all the time. if I couldn't get something, you're dumb. You're not like everybody else. You're stupid, you know. And it was constant. And um so my dad told me that I really needed to hear that. And I was just sobbing and sobbing and sobbing. And it's funny because the night uh the night before that that day, my son had got back from snowboarding. My mother and my brother had the kids uh all weekend. They were really tired. And uh and my brother was passed out. Everybody was passed out. So, I had gotten up going to the bathroom and I had to put a towel, folded towel over my face because I was sobbing so heavy. And um and then I left the bathroom and I'm standing in the middle of the hallway and I'm like, I want to turn on all the lights. I want to get everybody up and I want to tell them I saw my dad and my this is what my dad said to me, you know. And then I I was standing there and the Holy Spirit said to me, "This is for you and you alone." And and then he told me something else. When I saw my dad walk come from the backyard, you know, from the side of the house into the backyard, I was in such surprise to see him. Was totally unexpected that. But I do remember hearing a voice saying something. And the Holy Spirit reminded me and said, "He came a long long long way to tell you this." And I just and I back in the bathroom, you know. See? Anyways, then I finally contained myself somewhat. I went back to bed and I thought, "Oh, I'll probably never see him again." So, I tried real hard to go back to sleep and I couldn't. So, then I looked over at the clock. It was 3:00 a.m. And the Lord told me three means the Trinity and Father, Son, Holy Spirit. And uh and and you know, and then all of a sudden, I just felt this release. I felt like uh I was just uh something happened and you know I don't I don't feel I don't feel worthless and I know I'm not dumb and I needed to hear that and I just wanted to share how good the Lord is. Yeah. And oh, and I just want to say one more thing really quick. And then and then Monday night, I came to the service and there was a lot of stuff that Rod was saying, preaching that I was going, "Oh," and I was checking this off and I was checking that off and I was checking this off and it was just like other stuff that that I need to work on. You know, those other two were out of the way. Yeah, it was great.

Praise God.

like my first mentor in deliverance and stuff, you know, just just breaking me into that type of of of arena, you know, and he's a power he was a powerful man of God. But Ro's going to come up and share something concerning a prophecy. I believe it was

black sheep of the family. I can't relate to that at all. Not not at all. Um, you know, when when uh when I was uh Friday night before I I was the Holy Spirit told me to make sure that to make sure that you were here. I He told me she needs this. She needs to hear it. you know, and and it is amazing how much God loves us, that he will go out of his way to prove to us, to show us how much he loves us. We're not rejected. He'll never reject us, you know, and and and it's it's it's really funny because, you know, the same thing happened to me with uh the the gentleman that I'm I'm I'm going to read his prophecy that that he wrote to uh uh the church of uh the body of Christ. Um he came over. I mean, this this guy, Chuck Pierce, is a is a he he prophesies to nations and and he is right on. He nails it right on the head, you know, and uh I I'll we could go late. Um, and when when we were in that when when we were at that conference in San Jose, the the the night before he prophesied over me and then um the next morning we, you know, it was it was the last it was the last uh day of the thing and it was only half day. I saw him come in the the the sanctuary and he belineed straight towards me. He just walked straight towards me and he shook he shook Fred's hand. He's looking at me, shaking Fred's hand, shaking Marcos's hand, and he hugged me, you know, he he's kind of a big guy. He just hugged me like, you know, I just I just melted and he said he said, "God, when I went to bed last night, God put you on my heart and he just wanted to show tell you how much he loves you." And I'm thinking, "Oh, that's really neat," you know, and all a sudden, you know, we're walking out and Freddy, did you hear that? Did you hear what he said? Do you understand that? I said, 'What do you mean? This guy's a he prophesies to nations and he God put you on his heart, you know, and and and when he hugged me, when he hugged me, it was so amazing because, you know, I was born and raised in church, you know, and and and my grandfather, he started, you know, 85 years ago, you know, and and and he was he was uh Marcos's mentor, you know, and and when he hugged me, that was the first time in my entire life that I truly felt the love of God. It was amazing. It was unbelievable. But yeah, I mean, we we need that every once again, you know, especially us black sheep, you know. Um, this is a this is a a prophecy that was uh uh we're on the his uh uh Gloria Zion's uh u email list and and he sent this uh yesterday and uh you know I I read about the first part of what he says and then I get here Linda you read the rest you know but when I started reading this this is what we are going through this was just confirmation after confirmation. This applies to a vision for Wilmington. It applies to Fred Marcos. It applies to everyone in here. And I mean, I start reading it and Linda is standing there. She I'm sitting there go, you know, dripping on the computer, you know, that I I won't do that. I promise. No, I shouldn't do that. I probably will. Um, the title is I am reinlisting my army again. I am breaking the power of passivity from my people. Go up. Go up again. Go up again. Go up again. Go up again.

Oh man, the thing is cut off. Okay, I'll I'll add live. It says uh go up against again.

The enemy has stopped you and numbed your spirit in the past season. I am anointing you to go up again. I am lifting man. It's cut off. I am lifting

I'm lifting something under the piles of of defeats that have caused you to be quiet and passive. Though you have been buried with work and everyday life and and circumstances, I am removing the layers of sod and decay that have held you captive. Go up again. Go up again. Go up again. The wind is blowing in the trees. I am sending a sound in the tree treetops. Go up again, child. Come from behind. Catch up and go up again. I have brought you from behind and you shall hear the the the wind in the trees. The breeze will be your sign to go up again. Go up again. Get hold of your of your emotions and go up again. Even your enemy has mounted up again. I am sending a new wind. Catch the wind and go up again. This new wind will become your mantle. I am redefining your enemies. You will go up again. You will shout. This is my assignment now. This is what I am called to do. Though the enemy has advanced and made headway with his adverse wind, I am bringing you

I am bringing you up to a new place to equip you. When you go up again, you will face your enemy with with my new wind. And the enemy will not win again. Even if you have fallen because the relationships have blocked of relationships or blocked supply or have been confused over your your purpose and vision. I say you will go up again. Catch the wind and go again. Reach down. Reach down to my power that is within. Catch the wind and go again. Reach down. Reach down. Reach down for new strength. I placed within. reach down, rise up, and go again. Though my people have been anointed before, the next the the next anointing, I am bringing my people in an anointing that will be known as your fear will laugh. This anointing will cause you to proceed to a new place of breakthrough. This anointing will cause your enemy to become alert against you, to rise up, become alert. I am allowing your enemy to surround you because I have a a strategy for you to go up again against the enemy. Hear the wind. Find your path in the midst of the fray and go up again. Victory is sure. Do not fear the quaking for it is a sign that I am getting ready to reach in. Pull up and reach down again. Even though the enemy and and legalism has risen in the land, I am causing a people to reach up, grab my hand, and stand up again. This is a nation that will quake. In the middle of the quaking, I am again breaking a open a seal of heaven that will cause earth to change drastically. Do not fear when the Lord shakes the foundation. Do not fear when it quakes. Do not fear when the Lord shakes the foundation. Do not fear when it quakes. For you were standing on unsure ground with an unstable future. But the shifting of the plates of the earth and the gifts of the earth for this age in this season will create a major shift in administr in administrative systems. The quaking will cause a different sound to arise in the peoples. A revolutionary sound is rising in the land. That sound will be heard and my and call many into place. Different peoples will align. The ethnos groups are aligning in the house of prayer. A new sound is arising in the church and there will be one man worshiping. Heaven is beginning to resound to earth's cry. This cry will get louder and louder until the enemy's voice is silenced for the season in the earth. There are unccurrens undercurrens flowing and there is confusion and workings in the midst of my plan. I say the enemy is working at work to attempt to stop that which I am sending forth in this hour. But I say that in the midst of an undercurrent, I'm creating a people who will stand above the swirl of the enemy's camp. I will ride on the wings of the wind. I will ride on the wings of the wind. Above the swirl of the enemy's camp, I will ride on the wings of the wind. I will ride on the wings of the wind. I will execute true justice. I will release mercy and compassion. Brother will rise up again with brother, sister with sister, and we will move out and possess this land. We will ride and possess this land. We will move and possess this land. We will move and possess this land. Generation with generation, old and the young will move as one. Old and the young will move as one. A new alignment is happening in cities. Do not accue Do not allow the accuser to accuse you over the past.

Do not allow the accuser to stop you from moving forward. Do not allow the accuser to say, "In the past, you tried that and it didn't work. For I am bringing a new anointing that will create a new method and a new way for you to go. I am seeding the court of heaven and the court of earth will reflect that which is in heaven." This is a new measure of rule coming to my people. I am breaking the generational fear structure that robbed the a generation of boldness. I am removing a fear base. Fear has been passed from generation to generation, but three generations will rise again and catch this new wind to go up again. You will feel as if you have had surgery. For I will remove a root of fear so that that you can go up again. You will begin to say again the word of the Lord has come to me. Decree that the word of the Lord will come. Again the word will come. Not the word that heard that you've heard in the past but a word again. The word will come and you will say that I am hearing a God in heaven who is refreshing and giving me boldness again. The word will come again. The I am birthing the next dimension of revelation. You have endured and pressed through. So I will now come again. I am ready to bring my word. I am becoming zealous again. My zeal has arisen again. My fervor is rising in you again. My seed will prosper again. I am reinlisting my army again. From your past faith demonstrations, you have gained the right to be my in my army. Because of the cares of the world, you have left your post. I am calling you again to reinlist. Old men and old women will dance in the streets and isles of my places of gathering. A new call is coming and my people will prosper again. I'm calling forth again those that have gone forth in the past. I am putting them in my ranks again. I'm calling them in again. I'm fanning their flame again. For this is a day of reinlistment for the wind is blowing again because the wind is blowing again. I am reinlisting my people. I'm putting the staff in my in my people's hand again. The old men and the old women are now receiving the staff again. The old men and the old women will begin to dance in the streets with the young men and women and girls and boys. This will create a new rule of Zion.

This will create a new rule and Zion will be established in the earth in a new way. Those who have gone before, stretch out your hands again. For I am putting a new staff in your hands and will cause you to hear my voice in a new way. I am redefining your call. The generation that's risen can dance in the streets and exhibit new faith. Just like Caleb, who was 80 years old when he really started to rule, reach out your hands and take up the staff again. I am redefining your gift and sending you out again. The old and new will become dance partners. The old and young will rejoice together. I am reinlisting my troops and I will give my reinlistment bonuses in the earth for the wind is blowing. I am calling my people again. Rise up and follow me into victory. Lift up your feet. Lift up your feet. Lift up your feet. Lift up your feet. Though unity was thwarted in the in the last season and the enemy came in like a flood, I am reinlisting my troops and I will bring forth that I had planned. That which I have spoken will not return void to me. I will stir up my people with a new anointing and a new strength will blend together and my army will rule the streets of their nations. Grab hold of the new staff I am extending. Let your hands be strong. Let your hands be strong. For the words the prophets have spoken, though they've lain dormant and have not blossomed, I say, let your hands be strong. For I will be activating words and accelerating my purposes. This season, my word is coming forth. Don't be don't get left behind. My word is coming again. Rise up again. A righteous man falls seven times and gets up. So shake off your words and rise again. I will build my house again. The old and the young will shout together. It will be a sound that has not been heard in this season. This is a day of rebuilding and completing what has been what had what was begun in one generation. Though the foundation has been shaky and the people have been divided and the world has drawn many away, now I will build my house again. For I am repairing the foundation, and I am lifting up that which is sagged. I am leveling out that which was crooked. And today I start the process. For the wind is blowing again. And even though you have met each other and met me before, now you will meet me in a new way and see each other in a new way in in the way that I see you. Let go. Let go the things of the past. Let go. Let go the things of the past and catch the new wind blowing forth. I am reinlisting. Hear my call and receive your bonus as you come forth.

It's all you.

All right. Praise God. Uh, I need you to email me that, Rod, please.

I'm gonna tell you, first of all, the lesson tonight. Remember, uh, when I was here last week, for those of you who were not here, uh, it was an unfinished lesson, which is, by the way, first page that you have in your notes. It ended, it had about that much left. And, uh, I told Fred, I didn't make no copies because the lesson was never finished. The Lord just didn't give me the end of it. So, as soon as I preached last Friday night, next morning I got the lesson, the second part of the lesson. And guess what? We ended last week with what am I? Paul says, I am what I am. And then I asked a question, what am I? Or what am I? And guess what the Lord showed me? You're a soldier. That's what we're going to be talking about tonight. And he just had that talking about our identity. I mean that prophecy. Let me tell you how how far back that prophecy and I know that uh that time you know uh but let I got to share this with you because it goes with what you were saying. Um um I don't know if it was before her dad passed away or but we went to visit her mom and dad. I heard that might might have been dead already. I don't know if it was 2001 when he passed away was 2002, but her mom lived in a remote part of uh Arkansas in Conway. They retired by a lake and there's a lot of wood. So, we went out there on vacation. We drove and uh we were going to leave that morning about 11. And so, that gave her time to spend, you know, time with her mom and stuff like that. So, I got up early and decided to go to prayer. So, I went and I walked They they have a lot of lakes over there. And so I walk a couple of miles. Then I found a real wooded area all while over there in Arkansas. So I saw a trail. So I get into the trail and I'm walking for a quiet place to pray and I come to a crossroads of trail and I'm standing in the middle and you know everything is are pretty high. I can see that the trail makes a perfect cross where I'm standing at. I looked at the trail that goes that way and then it curves so you can't see no more. So you can see here and then as I look that way the trail goes farther and then it curves and then you can see no more. And then you can see this other trail where they curve and I can see that it makes a perfect cross. This is in the middle of the wood like about 7 8 o'lock in the morning in Arkansas. So I get down on my knees and you know you're in the uh dirt and all of that stuff so I can't really lay down or anything. So I just get down on my knees and I began to pray and I began to pray uh asking the Lord for direction and guidance and all things and all of a sudden you're talking about the rustling of the trees. Here comes and this was weird because you can tell it's not natural when you feel it right. So this wind comes in and and and it blowing right on the top of the trees and and I know man the Holy Spirit is answering me right right now. I got both of my hands up and the wind blows and it blows just on one hand. It's weird. You could feel the breeze blowing but it hitting just one hand. I don't know what my left hand went numb or my head went numb. The only I could only feel the wind on this hand while I was praying. It was a a very strange uh uh experience that I had. So then we got on the road and we left around 11 11:30. I told her what had happened and I'm driving straight through. I was a lot younger back then. I I can't do it now, but I'm driving straight through. So 3:00 in the morning, we left Arkansas maybe 9 or 10 or 11, whatever. But 3:00 in the morning, we're somewhere in Arizona. And I am driving. It's a beautiful night out. I'm I'm and looking at at the stars and everything. As you know, the jets fly from east to west and they leave that vapor trail. And so there's just I'm seeing just as I'm driving and looking out at the night all of these trails going and one jet came across this way and it formed there was just one trail this way and one it forms a perfect cross right in the middle but the the winds up in the atmosphere was so heavy that everything was blowing real fast. So this cross is just sitting there and it's not moving. All the jets go by their trail disappears and I cross the land. I said, "Boy, I've been driving too long. But I need a break. Something is going on in and mine. So I um I finally about after five or 10 minutes of this amen I wake her up because she was just laying there asleep. I said look at honey this thing won't won't go away. And remember I have been praying that morning in what is it for a cross just like what happened on the earth God is just replicating it up in heaven. And and it's weird now. So 25 30 minutes go by. She's already been out 50 minutes. We see all their jets pay for trail. The wind blows it away and this cross is just formed right there perfectly from and it was at an angle like that cross as it was in the sky like that and it was at an angle. So anyway, just as we're wondering you know what what this is or whatever then all of a sudden the cross begins to dissipate begins to break like 25 30 minutes after I seen it. And yes, as we're coming there, we're in the middle of the desert nowhere. We come into this little mountain and the sign says cross mountain road. Cross Mountain Road. In other words, there's a a and and so later uh in 2003, I believe it was, we're going back and I said, "We got to go to that place, Cross Mountain Road." The Lord took us to Las Vegas. We formed a cross in Las Vegas to where we were a La Plaza Hotel. we anointed. That's when I had the experience of the Lord took me. And in that experience where the Lord took me, I to make it up the hill, the Lord put a staff in my hand. That's why all of the things that the prophecy is talking about there, I experience. So, I need you to to email me that. Okay. But, uh, but the thing is, you know, like you were saying in your testimony, God knows us and God is real. And when God will allow us to to, you know, doggy paddle for a while, but when it comes to time, he chose himself up. And and and that's one thing about God that he chose himself up. And there is something I mean, I can tell you from from the 21 years now that I've been serving the Lord that there's something going on now different than it's ever gone before. Something is happening in the spiritual realm. God is getting ready to do something so totally different that we need to open our minds to believe for for things that we could never even think of. Amen. And when the Lord gave me this revelation to to share this this uh four weeks, I want you to know that this is what what has been in my heart. What my heart is that that which is soul and he kept saying that in the prophecy, God is doing away with it. God is changing the way he does business. This is an end time. You know what happened when when you're doing something and it gets contaminated, you throw it away and you get something new. You know, Fred was painting this week. He said, "You take that spackle and you start putting it on the cracks and then all of a sudden your spackle gets all full of debris and stuff like that and then you're making more of a mess and then do anything. You got to get rid of that old contaminated thing. Throw it away and then you come with something brand new, something that has been that has not been used, something that is not contaminated." And that's what God is doing. And guess what? The number one qualification to be part of that army, you got to be a black sheep.

Because you see what God is doing, God is dealing with the rejected. If if you look at it, that's who God is going after. God is going after. Did you know that uh you were talking about uh worthlessness? That's a spirit is a spirit of blay. It appears in the King James version of the Bible 17 times by name. And Hannah who was uh uh the mother of Samuel uh was married to Arcana and she was worthless. He had two wife. One was very productive, gave him a lot of kids. Hannah couldn't have no children. You see that represents the old way of doing thing and the new way of doing thing. Every time he came to Jerusalem like they were required, he would give his wife Hannah that was bearing a double portion of everything. But yet she wasn't satisfied. She felt rejected. The other wife tormented her all the time. Said, "You're worthless. You're good for nothing. You can't even give your husband children." And this torment went on. One time she went into the temple and threw herself at the door. Wouldn't eat, wouldn't do nothing. She cried and cried and cried and cried. She was sobbing so much that Eli the high priest said, "Woman, if you're going to get drunk, go get drunk someplace else. Don't come to do it in the house of the Lord." Okay. Jesus, I am not drunk. He said, I am here because my spirit is see that Eli priest who was corrupted. He well at least his uh his songs were corrupted and and he died when when the glory left departed the temple. But that man had to speak something into her life. And when he heard her cry, he says, "Be it unto you according to your faith." It was when she says, "I am not a daughter of Bile." When Samuel Eli the priest came in and said, "You a a woman, worthless woman, what are you doing here crying at the door of the temple?" And she says, "No, I am not a daughter of a lion." When she was saying, "I am not worthless. I may not be reproductive right now. I may be tormented. I may be going through all of the things, but I am not worthless." And the minute she spoke that says I am not worthless. Eli the high priest had to speak because he was in the office. I said next year by this time you going to have a son. And that son was Samuel who was able to introduce Israel to the new that God was doing. He was the man who anointed kings. He was a man the change from the judges to the kingdom of God. And that's what's going on right now. A lot of us may feel like uh Hannah. But when we come to that place where we can cry, I am not worthless. I may have been rejected by religion and I may be rejected by tradition and I may be rejected by all of the norms of men, but I am here to tell you that I am not worthless because I know that God has a plan and purpose for my life. And when we cried out, that cry out, then that's what that voice in your ear makes. That's the Holy Spirit, by the way. The reason why it wouldn't look you, it was just taking the form of your doubt so that you could see it. It was the Holy Spirit speaking to you. And when the Holy Spirit speaks into your ear and he was just putting something in your spirit that you're not worthless. And when that gets placed into your spirit, that is when you conceive. It says that she went home and instantly she conceived. And nine months later, she had a a a young man named Samuel. And that's what's going on right now. By the way, the Holy Spirit is speaking to a lot of people who have been rejected. Anyway, let me go over real quick to what we um we talked about last week. We're talking about dominion. How there were three things that would cause us to turn the dominion over to Satan. The first one was in Psalm 193 where he says, "Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me." So presumptuous sense, that's when we presume that we're called of God or that God has told us to do this or that. That's operating on the uh senses, the realm of the senses. That can cause us to turn dominion over to the enemy. Psalm 119:13 said, "Direct my step by your word, and let no iniquity have no have dominion over me." Iniquity, as I taught two weeks ago, is harlotry is at the root of all iniquity. Harlotry meaning worshiping something other than God. Okay? And and and and the way the Israelites did it is they put Baal. Baal means Lord. As a matter of fact, the Bible calls God because that was their their word at the time, Baal twice. It means Lord. So they were actually mixing their religion to where they were worshiping Nimrod, but yet they call him Jehovah or they called him Lord. And that is what iniquity, the root of all iniquity is worshiping God, thinking you're worshiping God, but in reality you're not worshiping God. You're worshiping something that is demonic. And then the third one that always turns the dominion over. Why? Because if you're giving, worship comes from an old English word. That means worth giving. giving value. When you worship something, you're given a value above yourself. The Bible says that God has put his word above his name. Meaning that God has value, his word more than him. Why? Because he is God. He's the word. So he can do that. So when you worship anything, you're giving value to what you're worshiping over you. So if you're worshiping something that you don't know, but it's satanic, then you're giving your dominion over to Satan. And the third one was for sin shall not have dominion over you for you're not under law but under grace. There's a move right now that has been going in the body of Christ to turn back to to the Sabbath and to turn back to this and to turn back to the law. And that also will give you dominion over because you do not receive the Holy Spirit by keeping the law. When we get saved, our first desire is not to sin and that's natural and that's good. But laws or rules or legalism is not going to keep you from sin. First John chapter one says this I have written to you so that you sin now. But if you happen to sin, we have an advocate. We have somebody that we can come to and confess our sins. We don't have to do pentance. We don't have to do this religious garbage to try to get us clean. And we need to try to stay away from that. So those three things turn the dominium over to the enemy. And I dealt with the fact that uh in u in Luke 10:19 where the Lord says, "Behold, I give you authority over all of the power of the enemy." There's two words over there that are translated power in in different entrances. For example, the word authority is a Greek word exosa and it means that it's something that is given to you, not something that is resident in you. That's the difference between authority and the other word power or donomous. In other words, um, as I used in the example, and I wrote it there, uh, you can be driving a huge 18-wheeler with a 100,000 pounds of weight behind you, but one little lady can step in front of you and you may have the power, but the authority of what is morally right, you're not going to run this little lady or she may be a policeman. She may have a little bash on her. She could just go like that and she can stop you in your tracks. And that's the idea here. We have a Satan who is like an 18-wheeler. He's loaded and he's got a lot of power. But we don't have that power. Our power doesn't come from within us. It's not resident within it. It's not because we're anything. Our power is something that we put on. Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. When that 18-wheer truck of depression, of accusation, of of torment comes your way, you put on that garment of praise, that's exosa, that is authority, that is a privilege that has been given to us by the blood of Jesus. And as you put that on, immediately you stop all of that power. Okay? But now the Lord did not reveal this to me last week until uh after I preached and that's what he wanted he wanted me to share on the third part of the power. And then if you go down to the identity this is where we finished last week identity. Paul says in Titus 2:1 or uh 1 Corinthians 15:10 it says by the grace of God I am what I am. And then I ask a question. Paul says I am what I am. And then I I say who and what am I since God has called me? And then it begins tonight with since the dominion that we exercise comes directly from and is authorized by God himself, then it becomes imperative that we know who we are in Christ and not what we are or have in our own self. In other words, we have to identify ourself. Did you know that Satan has been and is in the business of defining us? See, most of us think of ourselves by the definition that Satan has used. Maybe you had a a father or a mother said, "You're dumb. You're stupid." Or maybe you had a teacher that would tell you something like that. Or maybe you had a boyfriend or a girlfriend or a spouse, somebody that Satan would use. you went to a job, you maybe have people put you down on that job. You know how many people get uh so fed up in a job and they go over there, go up with a machine gun and kill everybody. Why would they do that? Because they're in constant pressure from their co-workers, their peers. They're putting down complainers. So, you are being defined. Right now, we are being defined. There's a ex basketball player who says, "I don't like homosexuals. I don't like being around homosexuals." Now, the whole world is against them. And there why? Because if if we said this 40 years ago, 99% of the people say, "Amen. Hallelujah." But because of a generation of MTV me and a generation of this other garbage has come in. Now they have defined morality. The Bible does not define morality anymore. So if you say, "I don't want to bring around a homosexual." Oh, now he's had to apologize. They already kicked him out of his job. But yet this other guy had two women working for him. I think it was Edwards. Very anti-Christian woman. I mean making fun of Mary saying all kinds of dirty things. Did you hear anything about that? No. Why? Because they have redefined Christians now. We're the trash. We're the garbage. We're no good. It's all right to dump on us. But boy, don't you dare touch the spirit of homosexuality has been has been put on a pedestal. So I'm using that example to to to to to say that if we are going to define who we are in Christ, like Paul says, by the grace of God, I am what I am. If we're going to define by the grace of God what we are in Christ, we have to identify with who we are in Christ. We have to remove you. You you you know that is one of the problems with the church. The churches today define Christians as passive little sheeps that come in once or twice a week that give their 10% and that read the word and pray and that do nothing else anymore. The church has been defined by Satan to be a toothless power little that needs protection all the time. You got to have 24-hour prayer uh uh calls and you got to have 15 ministers on staff because you're so weak and you're so tender. And that's how Satan has defined the church and that's how we're defined. That's how we see oursel. I worked in in in in that church and you would get phone calls from morning until night. You would get people knocking on the door, people helpless seemingly. Why? Because that's how they think. That's how we think. We're being trained to think like that even in the church. So because of that, we are defined as weaklings. But you see what God is doing now? Did you know what? Did you know you can go on the internet and find out about people like us? You do. We're called revolutionaries. That George Bara just began to see out of all they they do every year. He's been on service for 20 years of Christian. He is the one they quote when they said there's so many born again Christians and whatever. There are people like us who are fed up with the way things are. We want more. He said these people are so radical we have to call it revolutionaries. A revolutionary is somebody who just got fed up with the status quo. I just don't like the way you're defining me because that's not who I am. That's not what the word of God says I am. I may not achieve that. And some other people may put you down thinking that you're holier than that. And you know, that's one of the things that if you get too hot for God, man, they, oh, he he he's crazy. She's crazy. Don't get too close to her, man. You're going to catch it. You know, or something like that. So, we have to define ourselves because that's what Paul says. By the grace of God, I am what I am. Define ourselves as to what God says that we are on this end time. Now, Romans 7:18, I got two scriptures here. For I know that in me,

that is in my flesh, nothing good dwells. And Philippians 4:12 and 13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Both of those scriptures deal with the authority and the power. See, authority comes not by what we are in ourselves. Because if we're going to go in our own power against Satan, Adam who had never sinned and who sat and had lunch with God every day of his life, if he was not able to stand up to Satan, how do you think you're going to fair when you have inherited all of the garbage that's come down and all the idol is in our genes right now reading that book and talking about how your genetic makeup, how every time something big happens is etched on your genetic your genes are are just we're messed up, man. No wonder we're black sheeps. What else can you be? That's all we got in our gene. We descend from from from from prostitutes. We descend from from pimps. We descend from uh uh uh uh uh uh uh kuranderas and from voodoo priests. And we descend from every vile and and garbage thing you can go. You don't have to go four generations. Sometimes you can just go back back to your childhood growing up. We got all of that edge in us. What do you expect? No wonder Paul says nothing good dwells in us. And this was 2,000 years ago when the stock was a little better.

It got a lot worse in the last 2,000 years. I can guarantee you that. So, we have to realize that in this spiritual battle, because that's what it is. We have called, we are called by God to fight Satan. We're called by God to exercise the authority that Jesus came that he might destroy the works of the enemy. And he did. And Jesus says, "Now you go. I am giving you the authority that God the Father gave me when the Holy Spirit descended upon me. I'm giving it to you. Go and defeat the enemy. Go and and and exercise the authority." Psalm 144 last week that is written against the enemy. God has already written all of the judgment that Satan and the demons have coming. All it requires somebody to identify itself with God and exercise that authority that God has given it. Did you know that there were probably some people estimate two million uh I mean two billion to maybe six billion people on the earth by the time the flood came. Because I mean the people were not dying. Let's put it this way. Unless you were cut away like uh Enoch was cut away. People didn't die. 900 700 800 years. Can you imagine how many kids you can have in 900 years? You know,

hey, thank God they grow up and they're able to support themselves after a while, you know? So, you can only have like 17 at a time until they they reach maturity and go on their own. But but but think of it. There were two billion to six billion people on the earth and only one man Noah was able to identify himself with God. Imagine that. It took this woman to identify himself. He says, "You know what? I'm not like those other people. I'm different." He says, "Noah was the only man that was found in the in his generation." That was the same thing with Caleb and and with um Joshua. It says that Caleb had a different spirit. You know what the spirit is? The spirit is what defines you. See spirit the the the words in in in in Greek the word for spirit is numa. You blow on it. Your soul is suk which meaning is there. So whatever is blowing in your ear is shaping your inner man. If you're hearing no good, no good, worthless, worthless, looser, loser, you hearing all of this thing, that air, hot air is coming to shape you and to mold you so you can identify with what Satan is trying to form you into. But you see, when the spirit of God comes in, and that's such beautiful when you illustrate it, goes in the air. He comes in, I love you. Not only do I love you, but check out your hand. and I put a mighty big sword in your hand. And boy, you can do some pretty good whipping with that sword I put in your hand. When we begin to identify ourselves, that's what Joshua said. All of Israelites, the 10 spies gave the bad report, they were all ready to stone everybody including Moses. Why? They were being molded by a different spirit. That means they did not identify themselves as grasshoppers. What did the other one say? Oh, we were like grasshoppers in their sight and in our own sight. We next to this giant, we were like nothing. But see, that's what the church has define us today. Oh, you don't better mess around with Satan. Let somebody else do it. We talk about peace over here in this house. We don't we don't want no leave Satan alone. He's like a dog that's sleeping. Don't bother him and he won't bother you. And what happens when you have that menty? He comes in every night and steals cheap before you know people start dropping of cancer uh uh you know and then we begin to stop kids that are going to jail and and and prostitution and gang bangers and all that stuff. No, no. We have to identify there's nothing good in us and secondly that I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength. You know what is all things? Defeat Satan. Is that a thing? Right. I can defeat Satan. I can do that through Jesus Christ who gives me the strength. Isn't that what he said on this scripture over here when he says, "I give you authority over all of the power of the enemy and nothing shall Luke 10:19 and nothing shall by any means harm you." Well, see that only works by how you define yourself. I am not worthy on my own. I can't go on my own strength. But how am I being anointed? Am I being authorized by God to do this? And then I have to check myself, make sure that I'm not on my own strength or that I'm not uh under law instead of grace because those things give dominion to the enemy. Now to our page two, this is where we're starting the message now. Oh, I got 12 minutes to do it. As we identify oursel with who we are in Christ and we identify oursel with the abilities and privileges what that's what exosa means authority we begin to identify oursel with the abilities and privileges that have been granted to us by God's mercy and grace remember this is always based on God's mercy and grace then the empowerment needed to subdue the enemy is released in us and through us in other words the We begin to identify ourself with this privilege that God has given us in his grace and his mercy. Imagine if all the grace of God ever does for us is so that we can die and go to heaven. What a waste. What a waste. Because I mean grace is so powerful. Love is so powerful. You know, if all that love does is give us something from the by, we we wouldn't miss that, right? Well, there are another word, a third word that is translated power in in the Bible and it's in Hebrews 4:12. If you read Hebrews 4:12, it says uh for the word of God. Let me read it so I can quote it directly. It says uh let well let's begin at verse 11 because I want to put into context. Good thing I look at my notes. It said, "Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest." Now, here is talking about the people that rebelled, the Israelites who were brought by God into the edge of the promised land and they were ready to enter into the promised land. As they were going to go into the promised land, they rebelled. And because they rebelled, they did not have the proper um spirit in them like Caleb had. They did not identify themselves as soldiers who could win. They identified themselves as grasshoppers. So because of that, they did not enter into the promised land. And notice that the promised land is here related to entering into the rest. Now why was it that they couldn't go into the promised land? They were afraid of the giants. Why is it that Christians cannot enter into rest? Because of the giants. See, there are giants. There are bad things that has happened to us that affect us to this day. I mean it's amazing. Spend some time away from everything and you will see how much impact those things of the past have upon your life. I mean you can't get away from them. Psalm 51 I think David says uh uh uh my sin is ever before me. All the things of the past seem like are there all of the time. But if you notice, it says they did not enter the rest. Meaning they did not go in. See, in the human mentality is called war. Imagine that. God says, Marcos, you want to go and rest in a nice place? Yeah, Lord. I want to go. Okay, go ahead. Kick them giants out of out of there and take it over from them. Wait a minute. What? You mean fight? You You know those giants? God says, "I already gave them to you. You just got to go in there and do the thing. I already gave it to you. You just got to go out there. Show up. You just show up. Tell them I'm here. God sent me. That's all you got to do." Okay? But they did not enter the rest because they did not identify themselves with that. And then he says, "Lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience." Now Paul is writing this to us today. He says that we as Christians can fall the same way they did by following the same example of disobedience. What was the example of disobedience? They have the wrong spirit molding or shaping their character or their identity. And that is what happened to us today. We have the wrong word spoken the the motivated as leading and so because of it we fail to enter into the rest of God. And look what he says. He says for the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrows and is a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart. and there is no creature hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of him uh whom we must give an account. This is Hebrews 4:11 through13. Now, I want you to see the third word there and the word is energy. If you have your your regular Bible, it says, "For the word of God is alive and powerful." But you see we missed it because of the limited uh language that we have. We fail to understand what that means. I put the two words there in your note. The first one is zo and that is the word from where uh sue comes from. S C oo uh o

anyway sue s z s z s z s z s z s z s z s z s z s zoolology everything that have to do with life all kinds of living things come from that word and the other word that is translated powerful is the word from energy. So basically if you want to really get the meaning of what that verse says is the word of God is lifegiving energy. The word of God is what motivates. The word of God is what moves. The word of God is what energizes. See that is where the power comes from to become the people who can defeat the enemy. You see if you the the suitcase the soul if it's generated by our own self see you can go into a conference nowadays and you can get motivational speakers that get paid 10,000 20,000 $100,000 to motivate you and you get up in there and they make you feel good inside man you're so elevated and so high you know but you see that is coming from the inside that is somebody who he has pulled you up. A lot of people go through those healings and they get healed and a couple of days later they're just the same way or worse. Why? Because you can motivate the soul to be moved. Okay? But there's no real energy in it. See, the energy come from the spirit of God. The energy comes from the life of the word of God. The word of God. And how does he does it? It exposes I got it highlighted in there. all of those creature hidden creatures because you see what keeps us from becoming what God says we are is the things that Satan has hidden within us because if you know anything about DNA it is that every time a a a cut is made in your DNA there's a demon that Satan attaches to it that's what ble is a demon it's called worthlessness and so every time we come against the enemy. We are going to have to be energized by the word of God. And how is the word of God energizing us? We have to identify with it. I am what I am. Paul says by the grace of God. Whatever I am, I am by the grace of God. If God called me to be a dragon slayer, then I am what I am by the grace of God. had nothing to do with me. God just shows me. But did you know what this is? Even I'm I'm I'm deceiving you there a little bit to to bring the point because we think that only certain quote unquote people in the church are or a to carry that huge sword and to slay the drown. No, Jesus didn't say send make disciples and send the ones that I choose unto all the world. Jesus didn't say go get the special ones to lay hands on people and pray. No, he says you go therefore. You go therefore. You go. But you see, you have to identify with that. And that's another thing that the church has done to us today. The church has inherited the Babylonian priesthood style. And that's what Randy Shenko preaches so much against us. The pope, there was never such a thing as as a big pope or a big something. The church always was run by elders. When the Paul and Barnabas went into in the book of Acts into Jerusalem, there were three of the elders mentioned and one of them was James and the other one was Peter and the other one was John. And at the time, James was the one who was the head of the council, which is how the Jewish used to have the thing. They have different people and they rotate whoever the head was every year. They selected a new person every year to bring in new blood, to bring in new revelation. Doesn't mean the system that we have today that once you're promoted up in here, any demotion or whatsoever is bad. No. No. God rules through that system of men and women moving together. That's the dynamic of God. That's how the energy of God flows. Why? Because of pride. The Bible says that that pride comes before the fall. And if you put all of your eggs in one basket, then that's going to cause a person to be proud. That's what happened to Satan. The root of pride is always on. So God will take you like Jesus did to Peter. Hey Peter, congratulation. That revelation you got that came from God himself. God just spoke to you, Peter. Did you know that? Whoa. God spoke to you when his head is keep getting bigger like this. Then I said, "Whoa, now that I'm the big shot, you're not going to go over there, Lord. Shut up, Satan, and get behind me. Deflated." Why? Because the flesh had to be kept in check. That is the identity. This is why he says, "I myself am nothing, but through the power of God, I can do all things." So the word of God and what he says we are is the lifegiving energy that enable us to rule over and take do take dominion from the hidden creatures that rule from the kingdom of darkness. And the way we do it is by exposing them with the light. Now remember what Jesus said to this disciple. I am the light of the world and so I made you to be light. He said, "You don't hide the light." Why? Because the light is what exposes the dark. Do you know why the spirit of homosexuality is taking over this nation that now anybody who says anything bad is a homophobic and you're a bad person and you need to be locked up? And they're probably going to be locking us up pretty quick, pretty soon. The way the way the things are going, you're going to be a dangerous society by saying things like that. That's that's why, by the way, I don't have a a whatchamacallit uh the thing that the government allows you people to give you money and they don't have to pay taxes. What do you call that? A nonprofit organization. I don't have it because a nonprofit organization, the government can take it all from you if you don't if you say something that you don't like. And you know, I want to be able to say whatever the Lord tells me to say, and I don't want to be tied to nobody. I'll say they want to lock me up, they can lock me up. I'll start a jail house ministry, you know. But but but that is the truth. But the reason why that is going is because the church hasn't have the church hasn't had it light shining. You see, if the church had been shining the light, that spirit of perversion, which is an abomination to God, would have been exposed a long time ago. But our light is just not shining. You see, so the power of the authority that God gives us is the anointing that come from the word of God. Do you know the anointing is light? So Psalm 142 verses 1 and two. Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers uh for battle. my loving kindness and my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and the one in whom I take refuge. Look what he said. Who subdues my people under me. Now, I want you to see here when when uh he says, "Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who train my hand for war and my fingers for battle." That is from Luke 11:20 where Jesus said, "If I cast out demons by the finger of God, that means that the kingdom of God has come upon you." The ministry of deliverance is a type of a prophetic ministry that points the finger and exposes the demon or the spirit that is behind a movement. You see, when when that spirit exposs out and if men of God on this nation would have been in the ministry of deliverance, this spirit of homosexuality wouldn't be ruling like it is ruling today because he would have been a you you see right now, oh, you're homophobic. You hate people. Hey, nobody loves homosexuals more than Christians. We have ministered to a lot of people and and and we love people. That's Christianity. Really, they don't. They want you to have that that that you know the homosexuals have the highest of uh suicide rate of any other people in the world. I have met I I painted houses where people were there. They're the most depressed people in in the world because that's what Satan does. Satan comes to steal and to kill and to destroy. If we would have had men and women of God in the ministry 20, 30 years ago who put their finger not on the homosexual but in the spirit behind the homosexuality, you know who we needed to go through? We needed to go through the liberals that were putting that garbage on the school books that was given to our kids in school. We needed to go after the men who were putting CBS who was putting MTV together and was fitting this garbage to our kids to mold their minds. You know, I told my wife, God knows who's going to be 20 years from now. This generation that's being fed up on all this demonic stuff from cartoons and they're going to take over us in 20 years. You know, back back in the 60, they said, "Don't trust anybody over 30." That's what my They probably going to kill us all like the Jews. They're probably going to roll us up in some get rid of us because in their mind, they don't have no reasoning. They having then uh somebody there to point out the finger to that spirit. And you're saying that's what a soldier does. So

a soldier is what I am. And the Lord didn't give me the revelation like I said until next day when I began to go over. We are warriors. That's what it says uh in Psalm 144. It says that um God trains our fingers. That means the ministry of deliverance. He's our high tower. He's our deliverer and he's our shield. All of these protections come from God. Now, you say, "Why should I pay the price as a born again believer and fight this battle?" You know, one of the things that I was told is, you know, you come against all of the spirit of of uh Christmas and and all of these things. I say Jack Hayer and and I put a list of all of the people quote unquote they have big ministry. they don't make a deal out of this. Why should I make a deal out of it? That's what I was told. And you know, it wasn't until I renounced the spirit of Christmas that that the Lord took me into that into that place to where I was able to go into the spirit realm and actually do spiritual warfare from that point. And believe me, when you're on that side, you win every battle. We only lose it here because of the flesh. When God takes you to the spirit realm, the Holy Spirit is there with you. And whatever he says you do, and you do it, and it happens. It's just that simple. But you see, there are so many people that say, you know, this is the way we thought it. This is the day. Do you know what? Let me This is something that apostles me sometimes. Uh you're a Jew. I mean, I'm taking you back to the days of Jesus. So, I'm putting us over there. Let's say we're in a synagogue and we're all Jews. We're descendant of Abraham. All of the males are circumcised and and we don't associate with the vile Gentiles and and we don't do none all the things. We're separate. We're sisters. You know, all of the things. And that's how you get saved, right? I mean, you had to be keep the law. One young man came to Jesus said, "What do I need to to to make it to heaven?" And Jesus said, "Well, do this on the law. Do that on the law. Do that on the law." Said, "Well, I thought all the things in since I was a child." Well, they're you're in good shape, you know, except you got too much money and you don't care about the poor people and stuff like that. And but what if what if all of the sudden somebody comes in and says, "You know what? That is old. We're getting rid of it. There's something new." Oh man. What do you mean? This is the way we done it since Abraham. We've been doing it like this for 2,000 years. What you mean? I have to trust in a man now. You know, and this Christ guy, yeah, he walks in water and he feeds a lot of people, but but that's not the way we done it for the last 2,000 years. Have you ever wondered when did he change? Because there's people dying the whole time. I'm sure that there were people that died the whole time when Jesus was there. And there were people that died. When did he change? When did he change? When did God stop accepting Jews because they were Jews and began to accept the Jews into heaven? because they accepted Christ when you see we don't know they think we don't know when there's a change going you're going to get caught up in this current when I was worshiping here tonight I saw two things as I to come against the spirit that would that would hinder anything here tonight and the first thing I saw was a waterfall a huge waterfall just flowing unhindered this beautiful waterfall that's the type of the Holy Spirit coming down from heaven and coming down and then the second thing that I saw was Fire. Fire. Why? Because before the spirit, the water can flow, you have to burn away the old tradition. You have to burn away the old identity. You have to burn the old ways of doing things. Because if God is changing gears right now, okay? If God is changing gears right now and we don't go with with with the new, what's going to happen to us? Because we don't know when Jesus stopped. You know, I'm not talking about salvation. I'm talking about power and and authority in the kingdom of God. I'm talking about bringing the kingdom of God to bear. The kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom. The kingdom of God is within us. The kingdom of God moves in us and through us to defeat not man and not woman but the enemy who keeps men and women bound. The ministry of the church is not to build uh uh those huge cathedrals. Peter uh I mean St. Peter and St. Paul cathedrals wherever they're built over there. the ministry. You see, God does not invest on brick and stone. God invest in lives. God is into souls. God wants to get in my heart. God wants to speak a word that will change me, change me, that will radically transform me. Because if I am transformed, I will transform everything that's around me. You see, if I'm in a total and completely dark room and then all of a sudden my hair catches on fire, that is going to be seen all over the place. That's what the Holy Spirit hit when it came on those 120 people that were in the upper room. That's what the fire symbolized. The light has come. Now, how do we bring the light? This is a neat revelation. The protection come from the blood of Jesus and the atonement. Look at First Timothy. And this is where the Lord led me right through next day after I finished last Friday. 1 Timothy chapter 6 I was reading five and six and verse 156 and said while he speaking of God will manifest in his own time he who is the blessed and only potente a potent means a power this is another word for power this is the only power there is said God is going to reveal this power at a certain time that's what he's speaking there it says and and Who is this power that God is going to reveal? He's got a name. The king of kings and lord of lords. And now look at this because this is so important that we understand who alone has immortality. Now we have to identify with did you know that we have immortality. Do you know what Jesus said? Do not fear men who can kill you and after that they can do nothing else. You see in our hey somebody going to kill me man. Those are fighting words. You know, in our mind, that's our end. But he says, "No, no, no, no, no. To God, death and life is right here. There's a line right here. Here, I'm alive in the physical. I could drop that and immediately I'll be here, but I'm still alive. I be trying to figure out why you can't see me or hear me, but I will be alive." You see, I would be alive. Why? Because we got to live. So Jesus said, "Don't worry about those who can take away your life." after that can do nothing but rather worry about the one that can not only kill you but after that can throw your soul into hell. And you see fe demons fear this because we have authority and when that authority is properly exercised by who we identify we are and what we're covered with then they better obey or they're getting in big trouble. So he says this only blessed and only potent the king of kings and lord of lord who alone has immortality. We're immortal. There's nothing, absolutely nothing that Satan can do to you. Stephen went right from where he was being stoned right into the presence of Jesus Christ who was standing ready to welcome him. And this is the part that I want to show you. He says, "Who dwells or is dwelling in unapproachable light whom no man has seen or can see to whom be honor and everlasting power." the I had a revelation of this last year was the greatest spiritual battle that I've ever faced in my life. Satan came against me to take away my mind.

Some of you have heard about the testimony and it was a battle. I mean this was real. It you cannot fight it in any physical means. There's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can take. there. Nothing. When Satan comes after your mind, the only protection that you have is the blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus is the only thing that can cover and can protect you. You know, the Lord gave me the revelation. You have the uh in the ark uh that was inside in in the first half. You have the manora. In other words, let's say that this is the holy place. And here's the big curtain. And then here's the other curtain. And there was only one door. And the door comes in here. As you came in here, you have the manora which is the light. Then you have this altar here which is the incense of the prayer which you had in this side. Okay? And then on this side you have the table of chop bread. So as you enter because this thing had four coverings had one was blue, one was white, one was red. They all typified the four gospel the four representations of Jesus. Okay. And then here's where where you are. This place here will be called the holy place. This whole place up in here. And you see there was a curtain here. Here's the the altar of incense. And here's the table of showbread. Now this curtain over here, there was no doors or anything just to go through this curtain. That is pitch black in there. You have four coverings on the ceiling. So when you went in there to minister, the only light that was in the holy of holies is the anointing or the light of God. In other words, they they say that it was like a bowl of fire. They tried to show it there by showing like a flame going up. But the presence of God is called the Shikina glory. The shikina glory will hover over this mercy seat that was there. But it would be like just resting and just like a little glow that you could barely see. But when the high priest came in once a year and he would take the incense prayer and he would stick his hand through the curtain and he would allow the incense to fill the room in there to where he couldn't see nothing. Remember it's pitch dark. as he walked in there with the blood and he began to pour that blood on the mercy seat. You see the Bible says that the the life is in the blood. The life is in the blood. Right? So if the life is in the blood and we read that the word of God is a lifegiving energy for the word of God is lifegiving energy. What is energy? Light. energy is how light is manifest. So when the blood of Jesus would go on the mercy seat, the light would let lit up. That's why you saw that bright light, the bright brightness that you were seeing if because you were seeing something heavenly in the heavenly everything is super super super bright. John says it all of the ones that saw Jesus brighter than the noonday sun. That that is the blood of Jesus. When the blood of Jesus is applied to where the glory of the Lord says there's a lie, there's an energy that is radiated and did you know that the only thing that can protect your soul that can protect your mind from Satan is that unapproachable light. He said he dwells in an unapproachable that light is so bright. Satan cannot penetrate it. He cannot go anywhere. You know what happened when you put the blood of Jesus over you as a covering? That light begins to radiate. You see, I'm I'm agreeing with the word of God. God, I am your servant. God, I'm I have died. I already went to the cross. I accepted you as savior and lord. Why is this torment coming my way? Because you need the blood of atonement. Because in order for you to enter, you cannot enter that place with empty hands. You'll die. You got to bring the blood of Jesus in there. And when the blood of Jesus gets up in there, it gets into an approachable line. Now, let me show you the revelation that the Lord showed me here in uh in 1 Timothy. It says that um at the end of 1 Timothy 66 6:16, it says, "Dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power." Now, isn't that wrong in the natural sense? What it mean? He's talking about the king of kings and lord of lord. He's talking about Jesus. Then uh one of the apostles says we seen him and we handled him and we touched him. What does it mean Jesus cannot be seen? What does it mean that that nobody has seen him? Nobody has seen him or can see him. What does it mean that you cannot see Jesus? You know what Satan saw of Jesus? And you know what the apostles saw of Jesus? They saw the body. But you know what? They couldn't look into his soul. You know why? Because his soul lives in an unapproachable life. He says, "Here I am, Lord. I come to do your word." He is the word of the living God. What we saw Jesus was only the physical body. You could never see. Satan was never able to see into the soul of Jesus because he would have seen the soul of God himself. His soul, that means his mind, his will, the emotions of Jesus were totally protected by that unapproachable life and he could not see it. But guess what? Guess what? Guess what? Your soul has been made alive by the blood of Jesus. If the if the spirit of God that rais him from the dead dwells in you, he's going to make your body alive, quicken, many, energized, vibrant, come to life. When the light of Jesus comes into your soul, Satan cannot see past your skin. He cannot see into your soul. He can ascend into your spirit. He can ascend into your life. Why? Because the unapproachable life of God is there. And when that blood is covering you, he cannot touch you. Hallelujah. He cannot touch you. He cannot get past your body. He cannot get inside of you. He cannot get in your mind. Why? Because you're abiding. The blood. The blood. The blood. You know, that's the only thing that I could claim while I was doing in that battle. I honestly I could not stop thinking about the word of God on the blood of Jesus for weeks at a time. It's the only thing that kept me alive. I told her if it hadn't been for the revelation that God gave me and he gave me the revelation this is something. See the enemy also has a life. If you know Lucifer his name is lightbearer except this is a false light and the dragons has seven heads. This is a false light. The light that is in the uh in in the holy place. Satan has a duplicate of that. See, Satan has a manora. He has a dragon that has seven heads. It's called Leviathan. Look at Job uh 41-42. He glistening. His light glistens. You see, when you allow this life to be in here, he can get into your soul. He can get into you. He can get into your mind. What is his life? The words that he speaks. What are the words that he speaks? Lies. Because Jesus said he's the father of all lies. So when we allow that word of worthless, you're no good, you're nobody, nobody loves you, nobody cares for you, who what do you think God, you know, he's talking about uh Chuck Pierce coming over and and and talking to him about having God himself, ruler of the universe, come into you and touch, speak to you. That's what he does. That's what he wanted to do. That's what makes him God. You know, Satan can't do that. Satan wants to mess with people. He have to send delegates people and stuff like that. You can come to a place to where you're down on your knees and say, "God, I'm not a daughter of Bah. I am not a son of Bah. I believe what your word says, father." And immediately his presence because of the blood of Jesus that covers says we can only come. I think it's by last scripture uh in Hebrew. Seeing then that we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us hold fast our confession. What is our confession? I am a soldier. I am a I am a ruler. Hallelujah. I've been authorized by God to exercise the judgment that he wrote against the enemy. And by God, I'm going to do it. That's the confession of faith. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses. Jesus knows when we're weak. Jesus knows when we're afraid. Believe me, when we were dealing with some of the things we were dealing, one of the things come out, your body, you know, you feel something in there.

The first thing you feel is, Lord, what am I doing here? You got the wrong person, Lord. That's the first thing that comes to your mind when you're dealing with I'm in the I'm the wrong person. God says, "Oh, no. No. You're the very person I want because in your weakness is my strength made perfect. In your shaking of your knees, my spirit is going to come and boom. He says, "So we have a high priest that understand." He says, "But in all points with tempted as we are, yet without sin." So let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that is a mercy seat that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need. The mercy and grace that we need in the time of need is the light of the anointing that can only be brought up by the blood of Jesus. You see, when I flee the blood of Jesus, Satan lost all ground to accuse me because all my sins are under the blood. And as soon as I do that, so then to conclude because we're getting kind of late here, we have been authorized by God. That's what exosa Jesus said, I give you authority over all of the power, the dunamis of the enemy. But that authority can only be carried out through the anointing that the blood of Jesus provides. See, the light of the anointing is energy. We need to understand this spirit as they look, you know, when when you're looking to somebody who's demonized. The best way for you to know they're demonized is look in their eyes. Their eyes are all over the place. We're praying for a person one time and as soon as we begin to get to the thing, the personality switch and this other personality comes up and you can see in the eyes of that other what am I doing here? I mean, who put me out here? And looking at you like and you've been ministering for 20, 30 minutes or an hour and they don't know who you are. Why? Because this switch immediately takes place in in into the mind. But you know as we are operating as we're ministering under this anointing that come from God that light is seen by them. They may not be able to see your form. They may not be able to even understand what Romans say. But if the anointing of the blood of Jesus that energy is radiating through you not because you're holy, not because you're good, but simply because you say I am what God says I am. God says I am a soldier. God says, "I am anointed to destroy all of the works of the enemy." God has anointed me to to to to allow his mercy and his grace to flow through those who are not yet there. And so I am here. I am anointed. I have a fire within me. It's coming out through my bones and coming out through my ear. And when that demon comes out and it's all confused and looks up, I said, "Look at my eyes." How many time remember I said to people, "Look at my eyes. I want you to see the flame that is burning out of me." And they go, Hallelujah. They cannot handle that anointing. And so it is that anointing. I believe without a shadow of a doubt that and that's what I thought when I was talking about Leviathan that this is the time when God is getting ready to pour out his anointing. And he's going to look for people who know that in themselves they're no good for nothing. There's no doubt. They don't have to be convinced. They've been there and they bought the teacher and they wore the sign on their forehead. You know the loser. They they wore it all their life. Yeah. Well, you take that loser and you turn around, you make it across and say the blood, the blood, the blood. There's nothing but the blood. And so it is through that anointing that God is going to bring conviction to the world so that not the homosexuals, so that not the prostitute, not the drug addict, but so that the spirits that are blowing in their ears, the spirits that are moving, the spirits that are motivating them to sin, I don't get scared. You know, every time Jesus went someplace, why have you come so tormented? Why have you come to torment? Everywhere is a Jesus. Why? Because that anointing was burning from within him. Jesus spoke and people tremble. You see, but that is the anointing that God wants to put in us. And I believe and and I can prophesy with all my heart on this that the time is here and now when God is moving and all of those prophecies, all of those testimony, everything you're seeing is the time is here now. We are going to see things that we never seen before. And it's going to come by the anointing of the blood as we come into the throne of grace to obtain mercy and grace in the time of day. I was in tremendous distress praying before the Lord this one morning and all of a sudden my room got so light. Everything was just light. Then all of a sudden I was in my living room and I was sitting and there with Jesus and he took me to the family room and there I I lean on like you were talking about leaning on Jesus's chest feeling all this life and then he took me by the kitchen and that's where I wanted to go because we need provision. But he took me by that and he took me to the to to the uh living room and as I was there in the living room I said Lord what are you trying to do? I was praying and then all of a sudden everything was illuminated and my spirit was sticking. So I was worshiping God and he took me to I think it was Psalm 28. I think it says Lord I have loved thy habitation and I just came on down when I read that the habitations of the Lord. You see this anointing can only come when the Lord is our habitation. When he inhabits actually us when his unapproachable light is inside. Because when his unapproachable light is inside, nothing that the enemy sends our way can penetrate. He can only see the body. He can only see the hairs or the lack of any cast around. But he cannot see your heart. Hallelujah. He cannot see your soul. He cannot see your mind because that light is flowing. Amen. Hallelujah. I gone way too long, but it's his fault. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray your blessing upon each and every one of us here tonight and those who may need prayer after, Father God, that you will already prepare, Father God, the u the ministry that they need. I thank you for uh uh searing in our spirit, your word, your living word, that energy, Father God, that we need. Let it come, let it indwell us. Let it have a day, Father God, and let it move through us because we need to exercise that authority that we may defeat the powers of darkness in this hard day, Father God. In Jesus name we thank you, Lord. Amen. Amen. Praise God. Hallelujah.
