"Caught In The Web"Rescue Radio with Marjorie Cole

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:22.320
Music.

00:00:25.106 --> 00:00:28.326
Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul.

00:00:28.666 --> 00:00:31.606
Father God, we thank you that the war has been won. We thank you,

00:00:31.686 --> 00:00:33.126
your kingdom come, Lord God.

00:00:33.626 --> 00:00:38.106
Even though things down here are intensifying, Lord, you're totally aware of

00:00:38.106 --> 00:00:42.106
what's going on, and you're bringing all these things to a position, a place of culmination.

00:00:42.426 --> 00:00:46.006
So we rejoice in you, we thank you, and we thank you for your safety and covering

00:00:46.006 --> 00:00:47.786
and protection over all of your people.

00:00:48.226 --> 00:00:52.846
We thank you, Lord God, that Jesus Christ did your will, rescued us from the

00:00:52.846 --> 00:00:56.506
grip of the terrible one and is rescuing our children from the grip of the terrible one.

00:00:56.626 --> 00:00:59.126
We thank you, Jesus, that you completed the work. You finished it.

00:00:59.346 --> 00:01:04.746
You finished the demands made by the law and death, and you died in our place.

00:01:05.086 --> 00:01:10.706
So our lives were given in exchange, a hostage exchange for your blood.

00:01:10.866 --> 00:01:13.946
Thank you, Jesus, for doing that. Thank you for guiding us now by your Spirit.

00:01:14.166 --> 00:01:18.766
Thank you for helping us understand the dynamics of this incredible spiritual

00:01:18.766 --> 00:01:24.806
war that we're in, Father God, and the powers that the enemy has used to catch us in the web.

00:01:25.466 --> 00:01:31.166
And Lord, I pray for divine protection that everything that has to do with this

00:01:31.166 --> 00:01:35.226
program, its airing, its translation,

00:01:35.666 --> 00:01:38.926
its whatever, would be covered with the blood of Jesus Christ.

00:01:39.066 --> 00:01:42.446
And so would we for having taken another shot at the devil. Lord God,

00:01:42.606 --> 00:01:44.766
I pray that you protect us, Father, in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:01:45.746 --> 00:01:49.726
So today we're going to be talking about caught in the web. And you know,

00:01:49.846 --> 00:01:53.926
it's interesting, we have those words like web and net and all those things,

00:01:54.026 --> 00:01:57.986
and we think that it has to do with the internet, it has to do with international

00:01:57.986 --> 00:01:58.966
global communications.

00:01:59.186 --> 00:02:04.066
It has to do with witches and witchcraft and the other power source.

00:02:04.246 --> 00:02:07.466
So today we're going to talk about the other power source. But before we do

00:02:07.466 --> 00:02:16.366
that, we're going to read a little verse in 2 2 Timothy 2, verses 24, 25, 26.

00:02:17.287 --> 00:02:22.407
Well, the Bible talks about here correcting those who are in opposition to themselves.

00:02:22.567 --> 00:02:26.987
Well, if we read the whole verse, of course, it says, this is a gem.

00:02:28.367 --> 00:02:31.487
In opposition to themselves. Isn't that an interesting statement?

00:02:31.667 --> 00:02:35.547
But that is not in the New King James. I don't know if it's in the NIV,

00:02:35.607 --> 00:02:37.087
but it's only in the Old King James.

00:02:37.247 --> 00:02:40.607
So, here, let's just read the whole verse. It says, And the servant of the Lord

00:02:40.607 --> 00:02:45.247
must not quarrel, but be gentle to all, apt to teach or able to teach,

00:02:45.647 --> 00:02:50.047
patient, in humility, correcting those who are in opposition.

00:02:50.327 --> 00:02:54.447
Now fill in those next three in correcting those who are in opposition to themselves

00:02:54.447 --> 00:02:55.527
would be the old King James.

00:02:55.747 --> 00:03:00.907
If God perhaps will grant them repentance so that they may know the truth and

00:03:00.907 --> 00:03:05.767
that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil,

00:03:05.947 --> 00:03:09.007
having been taken captive by him to do his will. So there is a snare.

00:03:09.287 --> 00:03:15.027
The devil has set webs, nets, snares, traps, cages to catch us.

00:03:15.207 --> 00:03:19.927
Even Ezekiel talks about the charms sewn on the sleeves of the false prophetesses

00:03:19.927 --> 00:03:24.367
to catch the souls of men. So this is a real thing.

00:03:24.547 --> 00:03:26.567
And so the snares, the webs, whatever.

00:03:26.807 --> 00:03:31.547
And so now let's go back for a minute and look at how this got started,

00:03:31.767 --> 00:03:36.247
what we're really talking about here and dealing with. So there are only two kingdoms.

00:03:36.607 --> 00:03:40.767
There are only two power sources in the world. There are only two power sources.

00:03:40.927 --> 00:03:42.687
One is God and one is the devil.

00:03:43.207 --> 00:03:48.167
God, however, has given us a free will to choose which power source,

00:03:48.387 --> 00:03:52.827
which power company we're going to hook up with, plug into or submit to.

00:03:53.087 --> 00:03:56.267
So it's kind of like who, you know, if you're going to use God's strength,

00:03:56.407 --> 00:03:58.907
God's power, you're going to get God's results and God's favor.

00:03:59.347 --> 00:04:03.647
If you go in the enemy's camp and decide to do it yourself, which is basically

00:04:03.647 --> 00:04:06.467
what that second power says.

00:04:06.627 --> 00:04:10.047
Satan wants you to think that he's giving you power, that you've got power,

00:04:10.127 --> 00:04:12.347
you can make your own decisions, you've got a free will, you can do what you

00:04:12.347 --> 00:04:14.647
want to do, and nobody can tell you what to do.

00:04:15.847 --> 00:04:20.247
So both, even though we think, we're not going to say, well,

00:04:20.347 --> 00:04:22.047
yeah, I'm going to go to the devil and get power from him.

00:04:22.387 --> 00:04:24.827
Actually, though some people do now, they like that witchcraft thing,

00:04:24.887 --> 00:04:28.287
they like all that magic and spells and all that incantation and that control.

00:04:28.907 --> 00:04:32.347
Over other people. So yes, there are some that are actually practicing deliberately

00:04:32.347 --> 00:04:34.407
going to the devil for power.

00:04:34.487 --> 00:04:40.847
But the ultimate truth is that we have a free will and we can yield to God or Satan.

00:04:40.887 --> 00:04:44.047
And when you vote with God, then you vote with freedom.

00:04:44.307 --> 00:04:49.587
When you vote with fear of the devil, then you vote with bondage and slavery.

00:04:49.947 --> 00:04:54.707
And so, you know, we choose to reject, when you choose to reject God's will

00:04:54.707 --> 00:04:58.827
and do things without him, exclude him in our lives.

00:04:59.481 --> 00:05:05.801
And our decisions, we have, we've actually exercised our free will to give strength to the evil one.

00:05:06.221 --> 00:05:13.961
Well, really, it's something. Why would people go to a AAA battery when they

00:05:13.961 --> 00:05:16.341
can have a super generator?

00:05:16.701 --> 00:05:21.721
So what I'm saying, it shows the blindness in our world that people think we

00:05:21.721 --> 00:05:25.921
have to go into the dark side to find power. Again, yeah.

00:05:26.161 --> 00:05:31.181
Why is that? Well, it's because of treachery, trickery, deception, a smoke and mirrors.

00:05:31.301 --> 00:05:34.641
The devil is nothing but a lot of smoke and mirrors, but most people don't see that.

00:05:34.761 --> 00:05:38.001
They think he's terrifying and real. And he is terrifying and real,

00:05:38.061 --> 00:05:41.361
but you still have more power. So let's go back to the power sources for a minute.

00:05:42.241 --> 00:05:48.101
So the devil was not given any power or authority or permission or kingdom by God.

00:05:48.361 --> 00:05:53.341
He took one. He took the one God had given to Adam and Eve, to us, to mankind.

00:05:53.341 --> 00:05:58.581
So the devil grabbed, usurped our power, our authority, paradise,

00:05:58.721 --> 00:06:02.841
if you will, because God had given Adam and Eve the jurisdiction.

00:06:03.521 --> 00:06:07.101
The authority to run the earth, absolutely.

00:06:07.521 --> 00:06:11.821
And when they were deceived, and how they were deceived, they were deceived

00:06:11.821 --> 00:06:15.061
through the enchantments of the beauty of the forbidden tree.

00:06:15.281 --> 00:06:20.781
And they ate the fruit and became slaves of the serpent, which is now we know him as the dragon.

00:06:21.341 --> 00:06:27.121
So the first thing the devil did was to set up the enchantments.

00:06:27.221 --> 00:06:28.521
And let me just talk about that for a minute.

00:06:28.761 --> 00:06:33.521
If you look at the book of Enoch, the first thing that these fallen angels did

00:06:33.521 --> 00:06:36.601
besides take human wives, which, of course, the Bible talks about,

00:06:36.701 --> 00:06:38.741
Genesis 6.1, talks about that.

00:06:38.981 --> 00:06:44.381
But in Enoch 6, it also talks about how Semjeza and some of the fallen angels

00:06:44.381 --> 00:06:47.621
who took wives, the first thing they did was,

00:06:48.174 --> 00:06:54.814
was to set up the enchantments. What in the world? And connect it with the root cuttings. What? Why?

00:06:55.014 --> 00:06:57.594
I mean, obviously, Satan has a reason for doing what he does.

00:06:58.054 --> 00:07:01.994
If he can enchant the people, seduce the people, and that's actually why Eve

00:07:01.994 --> 00:07:06.514
took from that apple, that tree wasn't an apple, sorry, because she saw that it was beautiful.

00:07:06.694 --> 00:07:09.134
It was beautiful. It was alluring. She was lured to the beauty.

00:07:09.334 --> 00:07:16.254
So enchantments are something that pulls you and lures you to some beautiful, magical thing.

00:07:16.814 --> 00:07:23.674
So what it is then when we're allured to something or attracted to something beautiful.

00:07:25.254 --> 00:07:30.774
Does it show, Marjorie, that we're operating then according to our soul instead

00:07:30.774 --> 00:07:33.634
of our spirit? Well, we like beautiful things.

00:07:34.134 --> 00:07:37.794
We're made by God. We like good things, beautiful things, pretty things.

00:07:37.894 --> 00:07:41.994
But the word enchantment actually means when he taught the enchantments and

00:07:41.994 --> 00:07:45.254
the root cuttings that goes with it. That root cuttings is drugs and pharmakia.

00:07:45.494 --> 00:07:49.974
It's teaching them how to do drugs to stay enchanted or to enhance the enchantments

00:07:49.974 --> 00:07:51.934
by psychedelic spiritual powers.

00:07:52.114 --> 00:07:57.454
And what drugs do is they take you out of truth and reality and throw you into

00:07:57.454 --> 00:07:59.914
another world. And that's where a lot of people like to live.

00:07:59.994 --> 00:08:04.854
So it's a feeling of great pleasure, delight, full of magic,

00:08:04.994 --> 00:08:09.734
witchcraft, sorcery, takes us away from the misery and the failure of living

00:08:09.734 --> 00:08:14.414
in this fallen world. So the state of being enchanted is being under a spell.

00:08:14.674 --> 00:08:19.394
It can be wizardry. It can be hypnotism, incantations, occultism,

00:08:19.494 --> 00:08:22.454
voodoo, black arts, magic, spells, charms.

00:08:23.274 --> 00:08:28.874
Ouija boards. Temptations. So the definition is seeking or seeking comfort or

00:08:28.874 --> 00:08:30.934
seeking a false great pleasure or attraction.

00:08:31.294 --> 00:08:36.034
So the thing Satan is using, like the fisherman uses the shiny hook,

00:08:36.294 --> 00:08:40.154
the shiny little thing on the hook to lure. Yeah, to lure the fish.

00:08:40.954 --> 00:08:45.654
And so the fish is basically deceived, enchanted by the shiny,

00:08:45.874 --> 00:08:47.254
shimmering, beautiful thing.

00:08:47.494 --> 00:08:50.414
So we're attracted to something that is beautiful, pleasurable.

00:08:50.654 --> 00:08:54.554
There's nothing wrong with beauty. There's nothing wrong with wanting beautiful things.

00:08:54.894 --> 00:08:58.674
But the thing is, these things are seducing us. They're charming us.

00:08:58.834 --> 00:09:03.354
They're captivating us. And actually, in Ezekiel, the Lord talks about those

00:09:03.354 --> 00:09:04.474
very things called charms.

00:09:04.934 --> 00:09:09.014
He says the power and ability of something to bring delight or arouse admiration.

00:09:09.014 --> 00:09:12.794
Charm braces. People who wear charms. People who trust in charms.

00:09:14.054 --> 00:09:17.074
Crystals. Yeah, and wear things for good luck and whatnot.

00:09:17.738 --> 00:09:22.698
To its charm means to delight greatly, to cause people to delight,

00:09:22.958 --> 00:09:27.218
to win them over, to appeal, to attract, to captivate,

00:09:27.718 --> 00:09:34.158
to allure, to lure, to draw, to dazzle, fascinate, bewitch, beguile.

00:09:34.898 --> 00:09:39.618
Enchant, enthrall, enrapture, enamor, seduce, ravish, hypnotize,

00:09:39.738 --> 00:09:43.338
mesmerize, spellbind, transfix, rivet, grip, and rapture.

00:09:43.338 --> 00:09:48.838
So charms are what Satan is using in charming us, like you charm a snake or something.

00:09:48.998 --> 00:09:56.778
He's charming us into the web, into falling into captivity because of our disquieted

00:09:56.778 --> 00:10:00.778
state. We don't like living in this fallen world, and so we want something better,

00:10:00.798 --> 00:10:02.338
so we're easily deceived.

00:10:02.578 --> 00:10:09.618
But when we look, again, because we don't know the truth of what's really going

00:10:09.618 --> 00:10:12.918
on, and we don't recognize the danger we're in.

00:10:13.038 --> 00:10:20.058
We're like little children in this forest full of wolves and dragons and it's an enchanted forest.

00:10:20.778 --> 00:10:27.038
But we're like little people that just don't, we're just lost in this enchanted

00:10:27.038 --> 00:10:32.418
forest of life and we want to give people direction on how to get out of it.

00:10:32.578 --> 00:10:38.438
So every time we're deceived or choose to believe a lie, we get more bound in the web.

00:10:38.438 --> 00:10:43.898
We get more bound in making that agreement, giving that consent to the power

00:10:43.898 --> 00:10:50.758
source of the enemy who has actually gotten his power by stealing our power.

00:10:51.078 --> 00:10:57.778
That's exactly it, because it was the lie, you know, hath God said to Eve?

00:10:57.998 --> 00:11:03.278
Is this what God really said? And he's basically, she embraced the lie rather

00:11:03.278 --> 00:11:05.358
than the truth. By doubting God's goodness, yeah.

00:11:06.358 --> 00:11:10.718
That opened up the human race to the power of Satan. Deception.

00:11:11.558 --> 00:11:16.638
To Satan, because we give him his power. That's right.

00:11:16.878 --> 00:11:21.658
Because without, I mean, he had no power but to worship the Lord,

00:11:21.678 --> 00:11:24.258
but he fell. He was kicked out of heaven.

00:11:24.698 --> 00:11:27.878
And so, basically, he gets his power.

00:11:28.649 --> 00:11:33.749
Through our cooperation, right? We give him, we vote.

00:11:33.929 --> 00:11:38.949
We vote, and our vote then gives him power. We vote with the devil. We vote with fear.

00:11:39.109 --> 00:11:42.829
We vote with control. I'll do it myself. See, the basic lie behind witchcraft

00:11:42.829 --> 00:11:46.669
is, it's up to me. I've got to do it myself. I do it. I did it my way.

00:11:46.789 --> 00:11:49.069
Well, yeah, because why?

00:11:49.489 --> 00:11:54.489
Because everything is rebellion. We're rebelling against God's way or God's truth.

00:11:54.789 --> 00:11:58.429
And it says in the Bible, rebellion is as a sin of witchcraft.

00:11:58.649 --> 00:12:01.969
And stubbornness and stiffness of neck, refusing to be thankful,

00:12:02.169 --> 00:12:05.529
refusing to acknowledge God as God, taking matters into our own hands.

00:12:05.629 --> 00:12:08.589
That's exactly what they did when God says, have no other gods before me.

00:12:09.149 --> 00:12:13.189
Don't worship idols, sticks, and stones. When you start worshiping other things,

00:12:13.569 --> 00:12:18.949
the power behind the other things are the illusions and the seductions that

00:12:18.949 --> 00:12:23.169
we have given it to do those things that turn us away from God.

00:12:23.269 --> 00:12:28.909
It gives our power, our agreement, our authority, our free will, over to the devil.

00:12:29.029 --> 00:12:35.089
So the lie behind witchcraft, the fear, the lie that fear is telling us is, it's up to me.

00:12:35.249 --> 00:12:41.029
My life is my own. I can do what I want. I can run it the way I want to. It's my decision.

00:12:41.389 --> 00:12:46.269
I've got to do it. I'm on my own. All of these kinds of things isolate us from

00:12:46.269 --> 00:12:50.289
the love of God, the comfort of God, and now we're thrown out into the snake

00:12:50.289 --> 00:12:53.169
pit where we have to fend for ourselves.

00:12:53.449 --> 00:12:58.649
So often we think of witchcraft as be some cult or coven or some weird...

00:12:59.932 --> 00:13:07.252
This demonic group of people that are involved with all kinds of dark arts and so forth.

00:13:07.432 --> 00:13:10.072
But that's part of it.

00:13:10.272 --> 00:13:12.292
That's the end of it. But it's part of witchcraft. At the beginning,

00:13:12.412 --> 00:13:14.472
it doesn't look like that. In the beginning, it looks like beauty.

00:13:14.472 --> 00:13:17.532
It's like, I want to do it my way, and I want some power here.

00:13:18.052 --> 00:13:22.932
And that's really how it starts. But we don't think of that as witchcraft.

00:13:22.932 --> 00:13:27.892
We think of that as, you know, rugged individualism or being just,

00:13:28.052 --> 00:13:32.472
you know, independent and nobody's going to tell me what to do and I'm going to make my way.

00:13:32.572 --> 00:13:38.812
And if I desire, if I want to succeed badly enough, I can do it.

00:13:38.912 --> 00:13:44.532
I can do it on my own, pull myself up my own bootstraps. Yeah.

00:13:44.852 --> 00:13:48.732
Well, Paul said it this way, that we are in the days, and he says,

00:13:48.852 --> 00:13:52.272
the days are coming when they will not endure sound doctrine according to their

00:13:52.272 --> 00:13:55.992
own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap for themselves teachers,

00:13:56.072 --> 00:13:57.892
they will turn their ears away from the truth,

00:13:58.032 --> 00:14:00.212
turn aside to fables, exactly what we're doing,

00:14:00.692 --> 00:14:04.052
and people will be insubordinate, idle talkers, deceivers.

00:14:04.772 --> 00:14:08.952
And then he says, don't give hue to these fables, the commandments of men professing

00:14:08.952 --> 00:14:11.352
to know God, but in works they deny him.

00:14:11.732 --> 00:14:16.752
Avoid such men, avoid foolish disputes, contentions, strivings about the law.

00:14:17.112 --> 00:14:20.352
All of these things have been only set up and stirred up by the enemy in the

00:14:20.352 --> 00:14:26.492
snake pit to create confusion and incite a riot, a rebellion against God.

00:14:27.032 --> 00:14:31.512
And so Paul says, follow me, follow my doctrine, the manner of life.

00:14:31.512 --> 00:14:36.192
But the people are really confused because now there's so many counterfeit religions

00:14:36.192 --> 00:14:38.712
out there that you don't even know which is which.

00:14:38.812 --> 00:14:42.972
So we've got to go back to the solidity of knowing I have power.

00:14:43.172 --> 00:14:45.572
God has given me the power, the free will to say no.

00:14:45.892 --> 00:14:49.572
God has given me the power to say, who is going to dwell in my house and who's not?

00:14:49.732 --> 00:14:53.852
Are you going to let the impersonator, the liars, the deceivers dwell in your

00:14:53.852 --> 00:14:57.592
house, the squatters who are controlling your mind and freaking you out and

00:14:57.592 --> 00:15:03.112
causing you to be anxious and panicky and afraid and follow their web, They're webbing you.

00:15:03.232 --> 00:15:07.892
They're binding you into those agreements to constrict you more and more,

00:15:08.212 --> 00:15:11.572
isolate you more and more, cause you to have less and less freedom,

00:15:11.572 --> 00:15:15.032
even over your foods that you can eat because now I'm allergic to this and I

00:15:15.032 --> 00:15:19.372
can't eat that and I can't go outside because I get asthma and you can't breathe,

00:15:19.512 --> 00:15:20.632
you can't sleep, you can't eat.

00:15:20.812 --> 00:15:25.992
These are the webs that Satan is binding people in and it's because we don't

00:15:25.992 --> 00:15:30.032
realize even the structure of the system that there is power.

00:15:30.032 --> 00:15:33.392
We have been given power to say no, but now at a point you're saying,

00:15:33.552 --> 00:15:36.392
I've said no. I've said no to drugs. I've said no to meth.

00:15:36.532 --> 00:15:39.352
I've said no to, you know, this, whatever it is.

00:15:39.692 --> 00:15:42.632
I said no, and now it's not listening to you anymore.

00:15:42.912 --> 00:15:48.052
Paul says in Romans 7, verse 17 and 20, if I'm doing what I do not want to do,

00:15:48.132 --> 00:15:50.472
it's not me doing it. It is the sin that dwells within me.

00:15:51.983 --> 00:15:53.543
You're losing the ability to say

00:15:53.543 --> 00:15:58.063
no to that cigarette or to say no to that lustful, sexual, immoral woman.

00:15:58.303 --> 00:16:01.983
You're losing your power to say no to it. You're losing your power to say no

00:16:01.983 --> 00:16:05.923
to fear because you don't realize you had power and you gave it away.

00:16:06.103 --> 00:16:10.643
And now we've got to take it back because we've got to understand that I still have the right.

00:16:11.203 --> 00:16:15.583
God has not taken my power away from me. I have given it to the enemy, which empowers him.

00:16:15.823 --> 00:16:19.383
So the devil has no power in the beginning except the power we give him.

00:16:19.503 --> 00:16:22.943
And here's the interesting piece. the devil. But how do I know that's true?

00:16:23.363 --> 00:16:25.843
Because if the devil had the power to do what he wanted to do,

00:16:25.943 --> 00:16:28.823
he'd already killed us because he doesn't like us and he wants us out of here.

00:16:28.923 --> 00:16:33.243
So there's something restraining him. And that is God. It's the Holy Spirit.

00:16:33.503 --> 00:16:38.523
But it's also the fact that he has to get his power from us so that if he wants

00:16:38.523 --> 00:16:41.463
to do something to you, he's got to get you to agree with him.

00:16:41.663 --> 00:16:44.663
If he wants you to do something, use you to do something to hurt someone else,

00:16:44.803 --> 00:16:45.823
he's got to get you to agree with him.

00:16:45.943 --> 00:16:52.063
So he uses things like lies and deception and fear and control and manipulation

00:16:52.063 --> 00:16:54.223
and offense and bitterness.

00:16:55.043 --> 00:17:00.303
Homicide, suicide, hatred, to get you to hate either yourself through self-destruction

00:17:00.303 --> 00:17:06.283
or to kill someone else through words or through, you know, actual instruments of death.

00:17:06.463 --> 00:17:14.043
Talk to us a bit about control and manipulation and how that's a part of witchcraft,

00:17:14.283 --> 00:17:16.743
controlling spirits, manipulation.

00:17:16.903 --> 00:17:24.243
How does that work in our lives, and how does that work even in the church? Well, fear is.

00:17:24.581 --> 00:17:28.821
And faith, or fear and love, are the two operating forces in the world.

00:17:28.981 --> 00:17:30.921
They come from the kingdoms of heaven and hell.

00:17:31.161 --> 00:17:33.361
So fear is bread.

00:17:33.621 --> 00:17:38.161
It comes out of, strengthened by insecurity. If I don't know who I am,

00:17:38.221 --> 00:17:41.381
I don't know I'm the child of the Most High God, then I'll be pushed around

00:17:41.381 --> 00:17:43.801
by the bullies down here, the gods of this world.

00:17:44.001 --> 00:17:46.901
And if I don't know that God is good all the time, then I'm going to stumble

00:17:46.901 --> 00:17:51.321
and fail or fall when life gets hard and God is allowing,

00:17:51.581 --> 00:17:56.861
well, Satan is chasing and testing me, and God is wanting to keep me,

00:17:57.041 --> 00:18:00.121
but I have to choose who I'm going to believe, whose report I'm going to believe.

00:18:00.281 --> 00:18:05.161
So, insecurity causes us to reach, grab, take matters into our own hands,

00:18:05.301 --> 00:18:06.741
take control. Take control.

00:18:07.121 --> 00:18:10.521
How many, you know, TV commercials, take control of your health,

00:18:10.661 --> 00:18:11.961
take control of your finances.

00:18:12.101 --> 00:18:16.601
But this actually, taking control, actually flips and brings us under the control

00:18:16.601 --> 00:18:20.541
and the influence of the second power source, which is not God.

00:18:20.861 --> 00:18:24.861
And Satan is using the power against us. that he got from us. How is that for crazy?

00:18:25.361 --> 00:18:29.881
How is that for twisted? He's actually using our power to use it against us,

00:18:29.981 --> 00:18:33.281
to destroy us, and we don't have a clue that's what's happening because he's

00:18:33.281 --> 00:18:34.441
got us under the illusion that I

00:18:34.441 --> 00:18:37.321
am taking care of myself. I can do my own thing. I can do whatever I want.

00:18:37.541 --> 00:18:43.281
Nobody can tell me what to do. It's like we give him, we hand him the loaded gun to shoot us. Yeah.

00:18:44.101 --> 00:18:49.741
How ridiculous is that? Well, by yielding our free will to the opposing forces,

00:18:49.741 --> 00:18:53.861
to the anti-God spirits, We come into an agreement with the devil.

00:18:54.001 --> 00:18:57.781
That allows the devil then, because we've agreed with him, been tricked into

00:18:57.781 --> 00:19:02.361
agreeing with him, like Eve, enchanted, deceived. She saw the beauty of the fruit.

00:19:02.521 --> 00:19:06.261
So we're deceived, enchanted by the beauty of whatever or the false promise

00:19:06.261 --> 00:19:08.701
for safety and protection and comfort and control.

00:19:09.361 --> 00:19:13.041
We are deceived into giving our power over to him.

00:19:13.261 --> 00:19:17.601
And then in turn, that gives him power over us. most

00:19:17.601 --> 00:19:21.001
people do not realize this because they absolutely

00:19:21.001 --> 00:19:24.201
don't realize the power of the original act

00:19:24.201 --> 00:19:29.201
the original act of satan was to create the enchantments the stupor the stupors

00:19:29.201 --> 00:19:35.841
the veils the mists the concealments that the uh just create all of these illusions

00:19:35.841 --> 00:19:43.841
and deceptions and that really is what witchcraft really is is spells and incantations and drugs and.

00:19:45.121 --> 00:19:49.981
Pharmakia to keep us in that place of stupor and keep us in the place of delusion

00:19:49.981 --> 00:19:51.481
thinking, I'm in control of my life.

00:19:51.701 --> 00:19:55.361
The only way you're going to ever be in control of your life is surrender control

00:19:55.361 --> 00:19:57.681
of your life to the one who loves you, and that is our Father.

00:19:58.061 --> 00:20:01.741
And it's interesting, Jesus, when he was preaching, teaching,

00:20:01.841 --> 00:20:06.701
I should say, and they said, teach us to pray, the first two words out of his mouth were,

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:10.940
Our Father. Why did he start the prayer with that?

00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:16.000
Because he wanted to reconnect people with their identity, their origin,

00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:18.200
and they do have a Father in heaven.

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:25.240
And so people don't realize. We rattle through that prayer like it's nothing.

00:20:26.100 --> 00:20:30.880
So when you say, Our Father, you're going back to the Father and acknowledging

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.760
him and asking him to help you.

00:20:33.800 --> 00:20:36.640
Because that's what a father is supposed to do. A good father is supposed to

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:40.340
help his child get out of trouble, and we've been caught in all of these witchcraft

00:20:40.340 --> 00:20:44.660
webs, and we, number one, don't know it because we don't know about the enchantments and the spells.

00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:49.160
Number two, we don't get the fact that we've been disenfranchised or seduced,

00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:54.460
actually, pulled away from the true love of God for us because we see the world

00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:58.600
and we're believing a lie about God that all the bad stuff that's happening

00:20:58.600 --> 00:21:02.820
to me is because God is mad at me and he's teaching me a lesson and he's putting

00:21:02.820 --> 00:21:07.100
his judgments upon me so that I will learn that lesson, but that is not even God.

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.480
God is not trying to teach you a lesson because he already knows everything

00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:13.160
you're going to, he already knows who you are, what you're going to do.

00:21:13.380 --> 00:21:16.880
And he's in control. He's going to bring you to the place of rich fulfillment

00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.160
if you just decide to continue following him.

00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.640
But if you don't, he can't make you, he won't make you, the devil can't make

00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:25.540
you, God won't make you do something.

00:21:25.760 --> 00:21:28.820
So Satan is the master of illusion.

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:35.180
So when we're getting into witchcraft, When we're getting into pharmakia, drugs, whatever it is.

00:21:36.220 --> 00:21:43.260
Control, self-determination, self-aggrandizement, self, I'm going to do it my

00:21:43.260 --> 00:21:45.820
way, we're in an illusion.

00:21:46.772 --> 00:21:50.912
We're not, we're in appearances. Well, Satan has done everything to create those

00:21:50.912 --> 00:21:55.812
illusions, including, you know, falsifying the true gospel of Jesus Christ and

00:21:55.812 --> 00:21:59.172
making it about works and about our righteousness is something we earn.

00:21:59.352 --> 00:22:05.312
And salvation, healing are something we have to earn. And that's not the correct way this goes.

00:22:05.932 --> 00:22:10.252
It is the gospel of grace. Grace means good news freely given.

00:22:10.772 --> 00:22:15.372
We can't earn it. Now, in the Old Testament and even now, almost all the world

00:22:15.372 --> 00:22:20.212
was saturated with the paganism of superstitions and paranormals and supernaturals

00:22:20.212 --> 00:22:21.932
and fear and control and intimidation, bullying,

00:22:22.432 --> 00:22:26.672
abandonment, all those things, mythology, fascinations, even Halloween,

00:22:26.672 --> 00:22:33.612
all these things are sedating and seducing and webbing us into agreements with

00:22:33.612 --> 00:22:34.732
the practices of witchcraft.

00:22:34.732 --> 00:22:37.292
Now, witchcraft, again, is the other power source.

00:22:37.872 --> 00:22:42.232
And the devil makes that power source look like me taking control of my own

00:22:42.232 --> 00:22:46.272
life so that it doesn't become alarming to me what's going on because,

00:22:46.392 --> 00:22:48.572
well, it's up to me. I got to take care of it. I've got to do it.

00:22:48.892 --> 00:22:52.192
Everyone has said that. It's up to me. If I don't do it, all things are going

00:22:52.192 --> 00:22:56.212
to break down and it'll be worse. And so it's up to me. I got to do it. Got to take control.

00:22:56.452 --> 00:22:59.932
And so people don't rest because you're always anxious. Did I do enough?

00:23:00.292 --> 00:23:04.572
Do I do it over again? We get OCD. We try to, you know, make our little world

00:23:04.572 --> 00:23:06.372
perfect and clean and safe.

00:23:06.572 --> 00:23:11.312
And yet the demon of uncleanness is lurking and the spirit of hoarding is right there at the door.

00:23:11.492 --> 00:23:18.652
And all kinds of things are just waiting to beat down, break down that door and come in.

00:23:18.872 --> 00:23:22.952
And so, again, who are we going to agree with? Who are we going to listen to?

00:23:23.752 --> 00:23:29.512
The counterfeits are made by the devil to look like the truth, you know, and helpful.

00:23:30.252 --> 00:23:34.452
They look like they're immediately, momentarily helpful. It's a breakthrough.

00:23:34.892 --> 00:23:38.892
This witch that's coming into my world is a helper. She's clever.

00:23:39.112 --> 00:23:43.652
She makes my world better. She makes me feel better. She's a good office assistant.

00:23:43.892 --> 00:23:46.552
She's a friend of the family.

00:23:46.832 --> 00:23:51.952
She moves the Jezebels and the witches who work for the kingdom of darkness

00:23:51.952 --> 00:23:55.112
don't even know it for the most part because they don't even know they're practicing witchcraft.

00:23:55.112 --> 00:24:00.832
But they're coming in as agents of hell to break up, to go against the leadership,

00:24:01.132 --> 00:24:05.572
go against your own individual life, take your control out of your life because

00:24:05.572 --> 00:24:11.252
you're seduced, seduced, deceived by a need. I want to be loved. I want a girlfriend.

00:24:11.552 --> 00:24:16.732
I want a better job. I want to make my company grow. I want to see my church get bigger.

00:24:16.992 --> 00:24:21.972
All of these allurements are the bait on the hook that Satan then sends someone

00:24:21.972 --> 00:24:26.732
in something, some situation to get you to agree with so that he can begin to

00:24:26.732 --> 00:24:30.512
manipulate you under the power of the agreement you made with witchcraft.

00:24:31.108 --> 00:24:35.208
So, with witchcraft, there's control. Absolutely.

00:24:35.528 --> 00:24:39.108
You know, it's about control. But then what about authority?

00:24:39.348 --> 00:24:43.548
Now, God has given us authority over the powers of the enemy. Right.

00:24:43.728 --> 00:24:50.568
So, there's godly authority that we might think, oh, that's just controlling.

00:24:50.928 --> 00:24:52.548
But it's not controlling.

00:24:52.988 --> 00:24:59.768
It's authority. And how does that work with the authority God has given us to

00:24:59.768 --> 00:25:02.548
deal with those controlling spirits of witchcraft?

00:25:02.588 --> 00:25:05.908
Well, you can't deal with or use any authority that God has given you unless

00:25:05.908 --> 00:25:07.948
you're under God's authority.

00:25:08.208 --> 00:25:11.988
And so then you're the agent of heaven, and you have the authority Jesus gave

00:25:11.988 --> 00:25:14.168
you when he said, I give you power over all the power of the enemy.

00:25:14.308 --> 00:25:15.248
Whatever you bind is bound.

00:25:15.508 --> 00:25:19.708
Whatever you loose is loosed. And so you're the direct connection,

00:25:19.988 --> 00:25:24.508
the contact point, if you will, between heaven and earth. and God has given

00:25:24.508 --> 00:25:29.208
us authority to declare things, speak things, forbid things, bless.

00:25:29.588 --> 00:25:34.988
But when we're bound by witchcraft, we're hamstrung. We cannot, we're in the web.

00:25:35.088 --> 00:25:38.268
In the web, you're in the web. You can't move. You can't do anything.

00:25:38.428 --> 00:25:43.588
You're slated to die. If you're a fly that's caught in the web, you're slated to die.

00:25:44.068 --> 00:25:48.268
Soon enough, the spider's going to come and eat you up. And so the witches,

00:25:48.688 --> 00:25:52.748
the adulteresses that sit at the door of their house, luring in the unsuspecting

00:25:52.748 --> 00:25:55.228
young men, and especially old men,

00:25:55.448 --> 00:26:01.368
middle-aged men, to lure them into some sexual perversion or some trap,

00:26:01.548 --> 00:26:04.468
some snare, some agreement that they regret,

00:26:04.708 --> 00:26:07.488
or they don't even, maybe at some point, don't even know they made because they're

00:26:07.488 --> 00:26:13.128
still under the stupor of the spell, the poisoned arrow that shoots to tranquilize them.

00:26:13.168 --> 00:26:16.928
They don't even know they're being brought into the spell, the enchantment,

00:26:17.408 --> 00:26:21.668
the mesmerizing of the spirit of harlotry, but the spirit of harlotry and whoredom

00:26:21.668 --> 00:26:26.888
and sexual abuse and all of those things have opened up this whole snake pit

00:26:26.888 --> 00:26:29.268
to a whole new dimension of perversion.

00:26:29.788 --> 00:26:33.288
Destruction, secrets, shame, silence, fear.

00:26:33.488 --> 00:26:37.548
And so the spirit of harlotry, the spirit of witchcraft have worked their way

00:26:37.548 --> 00:26:41.488
into the fabric and fiber of our country, our Christian organizations,

00:26:41.688 --> 00:26:42.628
our churches, our marriages.

00:26:42.848 --> 00:26:48.848
And what God wants to do is cleanse, release those things that we give agreement

00:26:48.848 --> 00:26:50.408
to have taken down God's protection.

00:26:50.588 --> 00:26:52.688
They pushed God back into the corner.

00:26:52.908 --> 00:26:58.708
And so the stage has been set for the complete gobbling up, snare,

00:26:58.888 --> 00:27:00.808
and capturing of the human race.

00:27:00.988 --> 00:27:05.768
However, God is faithful, and he is bringing truth to bring people to freedom.

00:27:07.528 --> 00:27:14.228
So here's a situation. So how, and you don't like how do we questions,

00:27:14.748 --> 00:27:17.768
but sometimes it's important to ask.

00:27:19.648 --> 00:27:24.168
Discerning witchcraft, say, if you're involved in a church body,

00:27:24.608 --> 00:27:28.968
right, a congregation or something like that, or a Bible study or whatever.

00:27:29.677 --> 00:27:33.717
There has to be a kind of a discernment that you have. A discernment,

00:27:33.797 --> 00:27:37.237
yeah. Not kind of, but a discernment. Of spirits. It's a gift from God.

00:27:37.597 --> 00:27:42.557
Sniffing out witchcraft. Well, you're going to only see and sniff out the witchcraft

00:27:42.557 --> 00:27:46.117
correctly or the deceivers or the treacherous ones or the Jezebel spirits.

00:27:46.477 --> 00:27:50.397
You're only going to sense that and know that if you yourself have eyes to see

00:27:50.397 --> 00:27:54.657
and ears to hear and you're clear in what the truth is and what's really going

00:27:54.657 --> 00:27:56.717
on in the spiritual war and the rules that are going on.

00:27:56.717 --> 00:28:03.017
So, basically, this witchcraft is a deliberate attempt to capture you.

00:28:03.217 --> 00:28:05.977
And the spirit of Jezebel, we've all heard about that.

00:28:06.257 --> 00:28:11.537
Basically, Jezebel hates men. She hates mankind. She hates humankind. She hates women.

00:28:11.797 --> 00:28:15.717
She sets up her prey, often men, in that spider's web.

00:28:15.877 --> 00:28:20.817
You know, it looks very casual at first, very beautiful, alluring, fun.

00:28:21.237 --> 00:28:24.177
It's all set up to deceive.

00:28:24.797 --> 00:28:29.597
Manipulative. Yeah, right, right. So Jezebel hates anything that has authority

00:28:29.597 --> 00:28:31.237
over her and wants that authority for herself.

00:28:31.337 --> 00:28:34.797
So Satan is using witchcraft to grab your power, your authority,

00:28:35.197 --> 00:28:37.397
your leadership, your gift, whatever it is.

00:28:37.537 --> 00:28:41.717
And so here's how she basically works. She sets up the set scenario,

00:28:42.277 --> 00:28:45.317
brings in treachery, uses false accusation,

00:28:45.877 --> 00:28:50.517
accuses people of things they didn't do, and then they can't defend themselves

00:28:50.517 --> 00:28:54.237
because every time they defend themselves, she twists things around, she plays the victim.

00:28:55.097 --> 00:28:58.297
It's a casting of that false accusation, the drama, the confusion,

00:28:58.417 --> 00:29:02.877
the offense. So it just spins a web, and you don't know how to get out of that thing.

00:29:03.137 --> 00:29:08.537
You may know you're in the divination or under that spell or in that web,

00:29:08.757 --> 00:29:11.097
but what do you do to get out of it?

00:29:11.817 --> 00:29:14.837
So we've gotten caught in the hooks, many, many men.

00:29:15.277 --> 00:29:20.257
Men and boys, I tell you what, the enemy is after the men and uses the women to do it.

00:29:20.277 --> 00:29:25.097
And he's after the women and uses the men to do it. So obviously it's kind of an even thing.

00:29:25.357 --> 00:29:28.197
So here's another situation here.

00:29:28.750 --> 00:29:34.330
Paul at Philippi. So there's this slave girl there.

00:29:34.770 --> 00:29:37.930
She has a spirit of divination.

00:29:38.290 --> 00:29:44.530
And she's saying these men, Paul and his group, these men are the servants of

00:29:44.530 --> 00:29:49.090
the Most High God who proclaim to us the way of salvation. Absolutely true.

00:29:49.770 --> 00:29:54.870
But what she said. But Paul became annoyed after several days or many days because

00:29:54.870 --> 00:29:56.290
there was something going on there.

00:29:56.450 --> 00:30:00.370
She was bewitching. She was seducing. She was bringing confusion because she

00:30:00.370 --> 00:30:03.370
was still practicing fortune telling at the end of the street,

00:30:03.510 --> 00:30:04.970
you know, in the evening or whatever.

00:30:05.310 --> 00:30:09.170
And so, well, was Paul endorsing then divination and witchcraft?

00:30:09.550 --> 00:30:12.570
There was a confusion. And so he got annoyed.

00:30:12.670 --> 00:30:15.630
And that's the telltale sign of being under the counsel of a witch,

00:30:15.890 --> 00:30:18.930
whether she's in your church or in your family or trying to steal your husband,

00:30:19.110 --> 00:30:22.010
is that you're annoyed because you have nothing you can say because everything

00:30:22.010 --> 00:30:24.950
you say, she flips it around to make it, you're the problem.

00:30:25.910 --> 00:30:32.790
Yeah, so she uses victimization and offense to justify her position,

00:30:32.810 --> 00:30:38.810
her words, her comments, her deceptions, and forces you to take the place of being defensive.

00:30:39.230 --> 00:30:43.550
And then you're going to all together look both guilty and ignorant.

00:30:43.950 --> 00:30:49.170
But she gets in by flattery, and a lot of times people are hungry for praise, especially men.

00:30:49.350 --> 00:30:51.910
Oh, you're so this, you're so wonderful, you're so da-da-da.

00:30:51.910 --> 00:30:57.970
And so she's charming sometimes they come in the witches come in into your life,

00:30:58.548 --> 00:31:04.448
as either helpless or helpful. And so you need help, and so they're going to

00:31:04.448 --> 00:31:05.848
become your new secretary.

00:31:07.008 --> 00:31:11.388
Or you're some nice pastor, and some helpless woman comes, and she needs groceries,

00:31:11.668 --> 00:31:14.948
and so you're going to start bringing her stuff.

00:31:15.128 --> 00:31:19.288
And yeah, that all looks good, and it's okay, but don't get caught in the flattery

00:31:19.288 --> 00:31:21.288
and the rescue and the seduction of this pretty woman.

00:31:22.168 --> 00:31:26.728
Everybody desires to be desired, so they're hungry for comfort and attentiveness

00:31:26.728 --> 00:31:31.868
and feed into man, especially into the innate need to approve and be admired.

00:31:32.168 --> 00:31:36.588
And so the male ego is a perfect opportunity for this flattery and seduction

00:31:36.588 --> 00:31:41.928
to work and ensnare him, whether it's in his business or his life or his family or his career.

00:31:42.128 --> 00:31:46.508
So we're easy prey, but how do we get out of this character assassination?

00:31:46.688 --> 00:31:49.688
How do we get out of these snares? Because you have to get out of these snares.

00:31:49.908 --> 00:31:52.768
God wants you out of the snare. You can get out of the snare.

00:31:52.888 --> 00:31:57.188
You don't have to be the little fly that gets eaten. You don't have to,

00:31:57.288 --> 00:31:58.308
but what are we going to do?

00:31:58.548 --> 00:32:03.548
Because the attack on your character, her skillful accusations, she's good at this.

00:32:03.728 --> 00:32:07.808
The demons are good at using her to do this, to ensnare us in the destruction,

00:32:07.808 --> 00:32:11.088
to destroy the marriage or the church or whoever else.

00:32:11.268 --> 00:32:16.148
So they come in, guys, as good, enthusiastic, wanting your best,

00:32:16.208 --> 00:32:17.868
and they're lying to you.

00:32:17.988 --> 00:32:24.308
So they twist and they turn and everything goes into the place of despair caught

00:32:24.308 --> 00:32:26.468
in the net. I was thinking of Jezebel.

00:32:26.708 --> 00:32:32.008
She was helping her wimpy husband Ahab get what he wanted.

00:32:32.208 --> 00:32:34.848
He wanted this vineyard and he's pouting about it.

00:32:35.367 --> 00:32:39.027
Was it Naboth's Vineyard? And she was there.

00:32:39.807 --> 00:32:44.267
Here's the spirit of Jezua. I can help you get what you want. Right.

00:32:44.727 --> 00:32:48.887
And she took his stationery, his letterhead, and she wrote a letter to the guys

00:32:48.887 --> 00:32:51.627
in the village and said, here we're setting up a banquet.

00:32:51.707 --> 00:32:55.807
And they all thought it was probably Naboth's executive order or whatever.

00:32:56.207 --> 00:33:00.207
And so they did what she said, but she set up the whole plot and her husband,

00:33:00.327 --> 00:33:02.547
Ahab, didn't even know about it until it was all over.

00:33:03.147 --> 00:33:08.187
And so she had Naboth, the owner of the vineyard, killed. And then she got the

00:33:08.187 --> 00:33:10.647
little vegetable garden for her husband.

00:33:11.087 --> 00:33:14.607
And she just did that constantly until God said, that's enough.

00:33:14.607 --> 00:33:17.247
You're going to die. Here's where you're going to die. Here's how you're going

00:33:17.247 --> 00:33:18.127
to die. And we're done with you.

00:33:18.367 --> 00:33:21.307
She became the dog food queen. Yeah, the dog food queen because she got ate

00:33:21.307 --> 00:33:25.187
up by the dogs. But anyway, so now let's look at how to get out of this.

00:33:25.827 --> 00:33:29.407
First of all, you got involved. Sometimes the enemy gets into our lives.

00:33:29.407 --> 00:33:34.347
Marries, unfortunately, this is so tragic and so often done,

00:33:34.567 --> 00:33:39.007
where the enemy will marry someone who is practicing witchcraft into a family,

00:33:39.347 --> 00:33:42.807
into a godly family, into a godly bloodline, or he'll target the church and

00:33:42.807 --> 00:33:47.627
bring your next best intercessor who's got demonic powers to fortune tell and

00:33:47.627 --> 00:33:49.787
foresee the future and predict and prophesy.

00:33:50.067 --> 00:33:55.607
She'll be your next top intercessor until she gives you Crohn's or lupus and you die or whatever.

00:33:56.207 --> 00:34:00.447
So, you know, she, but there's this, all this false accusation,

00:34:00.547 --> 00:34:05.567
the taunting, the drama, and this goes on whether it's in a church or in your own individual soul.

00:34:06.167 --> 00:34:09.507
I know people, this is going on in their soul right now. They're terrified.

00:34:09.687 --> 00:34:10.627
They're afraid to let go.

00:34:11.407 --> 00:34:16.027
They're afraid. They're trapped. They don't feel like they have any power left to say no.

00:34:16.247 --> 00:34:20.227
And this is another problem. You can't say no because you have the power to

00:34:20.227 --> 00:34:21.747
say no. You have the power to walk away.

00:34:22.667 --> 00:34:27.727
But we don't really have confidence and in our abilities to say no.

00:34:27.967 --> 00:34:31.547
So to be delivered from witchcraft, we're no match for a witch.

00:34:31.707 --> 00:34:35.367
We're no match for the demons behind her. We're no match for the devil who sent her.

00:34:35.887 --> 00:34:42.347
And so what we have to do is begin by pulling God into the equation and saying, Lord, I repent.

00:34:42.747 --> 00:34:48.067
I confess the rebellion, the stiffness of neck, trying to do this myself,

00:34:48.587 --> 00:34:54.307
not seeing the warnings, the red flags, maybe the warnings your wife was giving you or not.

00:34:54.827 --> 00:34:58.427
Sometimes the wives are also in treachery. It's not always easy to say who's

00:34:58.427 --> 00:35:02.087
doing what. But you repent and you confess your sins.

00:35:02.327 --> 00:35:07.147
And you go to God and you say, Lord, I forgive. This is the only way you can

00:35:07.147 --> 00:35:12.267
break out of witchcraft, really, is I forgive this person or persons or system.

00:35:12.587 --> 00:35:16.567
It might be a system. It might be you might be in a company that's practicing witchcraft.

00:35:17.087 --> 00:35:20.907
You forgive whoever the Lord shows you to forgive. That means you're releasing

00:35:20.907 --> 00:35:23.947
them from your judgment for the crimes they committed against you.

00:35:24.347 --> 00:35:25.787
Stealing your life, your freedom, your.

00:35:26.455 --> 00:35:32.875
Personal health, whatever. So this present world system, evil world system,

00:35:33.175 --> 00:35:36.275
under the power of Satan, the prince of the power of the air,

00:35:36.575 --> 00:35:40.215
essentially it's just laced with witchcraft.

00:35:40.375 --> 00:35:43.615
Absolutely. It's a witchcraft. Well, it is. It's the other power system.

00:35:44.255 --> 00:35:49.795
Witchcraft is the alternative power system of the world, and it comes from our

00:35:49.795 --> 00:35:54.855
giving our will over to rebellion. So then that gives rebellion and witchcraft

00:35:54.855 --> 00:35:56.515
the power to run the world.

00:35:56.775 --> 00:36:00.395
Because we're deceived into thinking that I'm doing it. I get what I want.

00:36:00.495 --> 00:36:02.695
I'm running things. I'm in control. But you're not.

00:36:02.855 --> 00:36:08.175
You're actually the catalyst for domination by the devil and his taking over your power.

00:36:08.315 --> 00:36:14.015
So forgiving the person or persons, being kind of concise. Okay,

00:36:14.075 --> 00:36:18.195
I forgive them for stealing my ministry. I forgive them for stealing my wife.

00:36:18.315 --> 00:36:21.395
I forgive them for turning my children against you. I forgive them for plotting

00:36:21.395 --> 00:36:22.515
against you to take my life.

00:36:22.635 --> 00:36:28.215
I forgive them for, you know, suing me, divorcing me, trying to take my hard-earned

00:36:28.215 --> 00:36:31.155
money, steal my inheritance from my children. I forgive them.

00:36:31.715 --> 00:36:34.375
And when you're forgiving, and you can be specific like that,

00:36:34.435 --> 00:36:37.715
and you recognize this has also been in your bloodline, because you're not the

00:36:37.715 --> 00:36:40.895
first one in this pattern that's been taken over by witchcraft.

00:36:41.315 --> 00:36:44.555
Then after you forgive them, you go to the court of heaven, and you say,

00:36:44.675 --> 00:36:49.115
God, now I'm coming into your court as the plaintiff. that the crimes committed

00:36:49.115 --> 00:36:52.275
against me through the wit and the woman or the man or the circumstance,

00:36:52.495 --> 00:36:55.475
they're not the enemy. They're only the instrument.

00:36:55.995 --> 00:36:59.735
Yeah. And so you forgive the person and ask God to give them a deep and holy

00:36:59.735 --> 00:37:02.775
revelation of salvation so that they will not be lost in this whole thing.

00:37:02.855 --> 00:37:07.275
But you go into the court of heaven and you come in as the plaintiff and you ask a couple of things.

00:37:07.475 --> 00:37:10.475
You ask for the testimony of Jesus Christ on your behalf because he's a faithful

00:37:10.475 --> 00:37:13.215
witness. He saw it all. He knows what's been happening.

00:37:13.475 --> 00:37:16.815
And you ask him to testify before the court regarding the truth of what's going

00:37:16.815 --> 00:37:20.295
on. You ask the Lord God in the court to rule in favor of justice,

00:37:20.435 --> 00:37:25.315
righteousness, and mercy and truth, and so that you will be forgiven.

00:37:25.535 --> 00:37:31.435
You forgive yourself and receive God's forgiveness, whether you feel forgiven or not.

00:37:31.575 --> 00:37:35.235
If he forgives you, receive his forgiveness and don't be tricked into believing,

00:37:35.515 --> 00:37:37.315
well, I still don't feel forgiven.

00:37:37.475 --> 00:37:41.075
Don't go with that because that's the demonic spirit just trying to confuse

00:37:41.075 --> 00:37:44.815
you. So go and say, okay, God, I surrender to you.

00:37:45.075 --> 00:37:48.695
I'm in trouble. I forgive so-and-so, whatever.

00:37:49.135 --> 00:37:52.355
I'm asking the court to rule, and I'm asking the court. The second thing you're

00:37:52.355 --> 00:37:55.055
going to ask the court for is to remove the demonic judgments.

00:37:55.355 --> 00:38:00.895
So those demonic judgments are the consequences of the agreements that you made

00:38:00.895 --> 00:38:03.935
under the influence of the spirit of deception.

00:38:04.355 --> 00:38:07.855
And so when you forgive, you ask God, you present your case,

00:38:07.975 --> 00:38:12.375
your petitions before the Lord, you ask Jesus to testify as the faithful witness

00:38:12.375 --> 00:38:16.395
on your behalf for what things were stolen from you, including your time,

00:38:16.635 --> 00:38:19.015
maybe your reputation, your health, your family, your finances,

00:38:19.215 --> 00:38:21.155
your hope, your joy, your justice, your mercy, your peace.

00:38:21.846 --> 00:38:25.526
And the revelation of Jesus Christ. You repent. This is good for you.

00:38:25.646 --> 00:38:26.966
It's good for us to repent.

00:38:27.466 --> 00:38:31.886
Ask God to remove the veil of deception and the lies of darkness and all the

00:38:31.886 --> 00:38:35.346
bewitching, all the things you didn't see, all the hoods and the veils that

00:38:35.346 --> 00:38:37.066
are on the eyes and hearts of the people.

00:38:37.326 --> 00:38:40.366
Do not be offended. Don't take up the offense.

00:38:40.966 --> 00:38:45.186
Jesus, be your defense. And so you repent.

00:38:45.506 --> 00:38:49.946
You confess these things. Ask the court to heal you and forgive and restore

00:38:49.946 --> 00:38:54.426
the things that have been stolen from you and ask the court to judge the demons

00:38:54.426 --> 00:38:57.566
who are behind the witchcraft and that they will be locked up.

00:38:57.606 --> 00:39:01.946
The spirit of witchcraft, rebellion, stupor, enchantment, control, divination,

00:39:02.346 --> 00:39:06.706
loss, everything Satan has been trying to do to steal your identity and to steal

00:39:06.706 --> 00:39:12.726
your relationship with God that has been thwarted or attacked during this attack with the witchcraft.

00:39:12.826 --> 00:39:17.766
So then it's basically, in a sense, you free yourself from the power of witchcraft

00:39:17.766 --> 00:39:22.406
by coming to Jesus, by praying, and using the authority that you have.

00:39:22.706 --> 00:39:27.066
You know, just escape, escaping from the snare of the evil one.

00:39:27.366 --> 00:39:33.726
Yes. We read that about, you know. He said, yeah, he said, we can say something like this.

00:39:33.806 --> 00:39:38.606
I ask you, Lord, to remove the lies, the works of darkness, the witchcraft,

00:39:38.726 --> 00:39:41.606
Jezebel, jealousy, deception, perversion, control, destruction.

00:39:42.306 --> 00:39:45.086
Slander against me, and all that the enemy has judged me for.

00:39:45.326 --> 00:39:48.846
Will you judge him for the wicked schemes and that he's perpetuated against

00:39:48.846 --> 00:39:53.526
me? I ask you, Lord, to remove these demonic judgments and the curses from my

00:39:53.526 --> 00:39:55.026
life and the life of my descendants.

00:39:55.546 --> 00:39:58.286
And you know that Jesus will do that because Jesus loves us.

00:39:58.406 --> 00:40:01.546
He knows the truth, and he's so happy that we're coming to our senses,

00:40:01.546 --> 00:40:05.486
as we read in 2 Timothy, that they may come to their senses,

00:40:05.486 --> 00:40:07.546
that they may be aware of the snare of the enemy.

00:40:08.326 --> 00:40:13.866
Yeah, escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do

00:40:13.866 --> 00:40:19.026
his will. So, if you want the picture of witchcraft and warfare in a nutshell,

00:40:19.326 --> 00:40:22.286
it's 2 Timothy 2, verse 24, 5, and 6.

00:40:22.546 --> 00:40:27.866
And read the other version and setting us in opposition to ourselves because

00:40:27.866 --> 00:40:31.466
that's how he begins the process. The old King James. Yeah.

00:40:31.706 --> 00:40:37.226
So, Father, we just ask you now to set us free from witchcraft in our families,

00:40:37.486 --> 00:40:41.406
in our precious loved ones, sons and daughters and grandchildren.

00:40:41.406 --> 00:40:46.166
And even those who are in our businesses, our business partners,

00:40:46.466 --> 00:40:47.926
our wives, our husbands, our marriages.

00:40:48.326 --> 00:40:51.746
Our churches. Yes, our pastors that have been deceived, deluded,

00:40:51.886 --> 00:40:53.046
and are under the power of the church.

00:40:53.427 --> 00:40:57.707
Of fear and witchcraft. Father God, have mercy upon your people.

00:40:57.847 --> 00:41:01.507
The only way this is going to work, Lord, is if you wake us up.

00:41:01.667 --> 00:41:05.427
Wake us up with the truth, and we thank you that the truth sets us free.

00:41:05.687 --> 00:41:08.767
And so we forgive the people who are looking into witchcraft,

00:41:08.967 --> 00:41:13.527
using it as a means to enhance their life, protect them, strengthen their insecurity.

00:41:13.647 --> 00:41:17.247
We forgive them because witches are the most insecure people in the world because

00:41:17.247 --> 00:41:19.187
they have to control everything.

00:41:19.487 --> 00:41:22.767
And so we forgive the immoral women, the seducers, the harlots,

00:41:22.867 --> 00:41:28.547
who have also been terrified, traumatized, abused by the enemy to set them up

00:41:28.547 --> 00:41:33.007
to become his instruments of deception.

00:41:33.247 --> 00:41:38.907
We forgive the women and the men who have been abused and used by the enemy

00:41:38.907 --> 00:41:43.847
to promote his kingdom. Lord God, set your people free.

00:41:44.107 --> 00:41:48.287
And Father, we ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.

00:41:50.007 --> 00:41:54.147
Well, what shall we say to all of this except check out some of the stuff on

00:41:54.147 --> 00:41:55.287
the Life Recovery website.

00:41:55.687 --> 00:42:00.607
We are, I believe there's so many things like, for example, Taking the Devil to Court.

00:42:00.927 --> 00:42:05.807
That's one of the first books I wrote. Taking the Devil to Court is a fast overview.

00:42:06.247 --> 00:42:12.487
It really lays a good, solid foundation and it's quick, fast reading on what's going on.

00:42:12.667 --> 00:42:15.747
And I think Taking the Devil to Court would really, because if you don't know

00:42:15.747 --> 00:42:20.067
the rules of the game, You don't know how this works, and you're going to be a victim of ignorance.

00:42:20.747 --> 00:42:24.647
And so, Father God, let us go forward in all the things you've called us to

00:42:24.647 --> 00:42:26.787
do. We ask for your prayers, too.

00:42:27.247 --> 00:42:30.487
And right now I'm going to pray for some people who are bound in witchcraft.

00:42:31.027 --> 00:42:38.087
There are serious relationship bindings, webs, around certain people, webs.

00:42:38.247 --> 00:42:43.027
Like, you know, remember the scene in The Lord of the Rings where I think it

00:42:43.027 --> 00:42:46.247
was Frodo was all bound up by that spider's web, you know, all that web stuff?

00:42:46.607 --> 00:42:49.607
That was a pretty good picture of a lot of people that are bound in that.

00:42:49.807 --> 00:42:52.287
So what happened was someone has to love you enough,

00:42:52.823 --> 00:42:58.403
to get you free from that. And that's what God wants us to do is help each other.

00:42:58.543 --> 00:43:03.623
So I loose the power of the truth of God and the blood of Jesus,

00:43:03.623 --> 00:43:09.163
which dissolves the webbing, to set your people free, Father God, in Jesus' name.

00:43:09.203 --> 00:43:15.163
So, Lord, we just pray, too, for children, for those listening today and grandchildren

00:43:15.163 --> 00:43:17.883
that are in this web of witchcraft.

00:43:18.263 --> 00:43:24.303
They've been seduced, boys, young men, that have been seduced by... And girls.

00:43:24.583 --> 00:43:32.203
And girls that have been seduced by witchcraft that they're using to really destroy themselves.

00:43:32.383 --> 00:43:35.183
The enemy is using, yeah. Yeah, the enemy is doing that.

00:43:35.943 --> 00:43:39.183
Release them, Father, in the name of Jesus. We declare their freedom.

00:43:39.443 --> 00:43:44.143
We just release these young people from witchcraft and release men,

00:43:44.363 --> 00:43:47.423
godly young men, that have gotten caught up with witches.

00:43:47.743 --> 00:43:51.823
Sexual perversions. Yeah. When you do this sexual stuff, you're binding yourself

00:43:51.823 --> 00:43:57.303
in soul ties to these people, and you're also marrying them in a way.

00:43:57.423 --> 00:43:58.643
It's called spirit spouses.

00:43:58.903 --> 00:44:02.503
You're actually, you know, if you've had sexual intercourse with people,

00:44:02.783 --> 00:44:07.963
you have actually submitted to that relationship, and you're bound in that relationship,

00:44:08.123 --> 00:44:12.023
and so you're technically married to that person, even though you haven't had

00:44:12.023 --> 00:44:17.703
a wedding, and you may be married legally to someone else, and yet you're off having an affair.

00:44:17.703 --> 00:44:22.423
You're actually creating another relationship that has as much power and authority

00:44:22.423 --> 00:44:24.943
over you to control you or destroy you.

00:44:25.103 --> 00:44:29.623
And it's an illegal relationship, but nonetheless, it's binding.

00:44:29.883 --> 00:44:35.003
So confess, repent, ask God to help you, deliver you from the sexual seductions

00:44:35.003 --> 00:44:36.883
and spirits of witchcraft.

00:44:37.023 --> 00:44:40.863
And Father, let this be done in the name of Jesus Christ and for your glory.

00:44:41.283 --> 00:44:44.323
Amen. Amen. Thank you for joining us.

00:44:46.643 --> 00:44:48.663
I have an emergency. What is your location?

00:44:50.160 --> 00:45:07.920
Music.

00:44:53.023 --> 00:44:57.323
3, 2, 1... It's a good point. It's a nice thing.

00:45:00.783 --> 00:45:04.023
It's a good point. It's a bad guy. It's a good guy. It's a good guy.

00:45:04.083 --> 00:45:07.443
It's a good guy. 3, 2, 1...
