WEBVTT

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

00:00:25.186 --> 00:00:28.906
Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul. Father God,

00:00:29.046 --> 00:00:30.886
we thank you that the war has been won.

00:00:31.326 --> 00:00:34.146
We thank you, Lord God, for the revelation of your love, your truth,

00:00:34.226 --> 00:00:38.506
your courage, Father, and wisdom, the power of the Holy Spirit to give us wisdom

00:00:38.506 --> 00:00:43.006
to know what to do in every moment, in every hour, in every situation, Father God.

00:00:43.226 --> 00:00:47.746
We thank you, your kingdom come, Lord God, that this is our desire to see your

00:00:47.746 --> 00:00:50.446
kingdom come, that you are the King of kings and the Lord of lords,

00:00:50.446 --> 00:00:54.806
that you'll come to take repossess, repossess this place with your power,

00:00:55.286 --> 00:00:57.786
your goodness, your glory, your justice, your truth and mercy.

00:00:58.106 --> 00:01:00.926
Thank you, Jesus, for dying on the cross for us. Thank you, Lord.

00:01:01.026 --> 00:01:06.206
You laid aside your glory, your whole, your everything, your identity even,

00:01:06.406 --> 00:01:10.586
to become part of our human race, to become part of us so that you could die

00:01:10.586 --> 00:01:14.546
for us as our hero, as our Savior, Redeemer.

00:01:15.066 --> 00:01:17.846
Thank you, Jesus, for shedding your blood. Thank you, Lord God,

00:01:18.086 --> 00:01:21.506
the unspeakable love that you demonstrated to us.

00:01:21.626 --> 00:01:25.066
Thank you, Lord, that we receive that gift with great thanksgiving and joy.

00:01:25.546 --> 00:01:29.886
And we ask that others would also be, the revelation of your love and truth

00:01:29.886 --> 00:01:32.766
and salvation would come to many others as the harvest is ripe.

00:01:33.166 --> 00:01:35.706
Thank you for giving us power over all the power of the enemy.

00:01:35.826 --> 00:01:39.066
You said nothing shall by any means hurt you. You said whatever you bind is

00:01:39.066 --> 00:01:40.386
bound, whatever you loose is loosed.

00:01:40.786 --> 00:01:43.906
Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you'll find. Knock and it will be open to

00:01:43.906 --> 00:01:46.426
you. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.

00:01:46.506 --> 00:01:50.326
We thank you for these promises that are true, that you keep your word and you keep your promises.

00:01:50.526 --> 00:01:55.046
Thank you, Lord God, also for giving us a power to bind the powers of darkness

00:01:55.046 --> 00:01:59.166
that have come against our lives, our families, our generations, this nation, our world.

00:01:59.386 --> 00:02:04.086
Father God, we bind the powers of darkness that are trying to overtake the righteous, Father God.

00:02:04.186 --> 00:02:06.786
And we thank you for the revelation of love, grace, truth, power,

00:02:06.886 --> 00:02:11.726
mercy, and freedom to those who know you to walk and move and excel.

00:02:12.306 --> 00:02:15.406
You said those who know their God will do exploits in the last days.

00:02:15.546 --> 00:02:16.706
So let the exploits begin.

00:02:17.006 --> 00:02:21.226
And we thank you, Lord God, also for the promise that no witchcraft, no word, deed.

00:02:22.166 --> 00:02:26.246
Action, dedication, any kind of incantations, agreements made against us or

00:02:26.246 --> 00:02:30.746
projected against us by the enemy will be able to bring forth any profit to

00:02:30.746 --> 00:02:34.586
them, that we will be brought forth in victory and in honor,

00:02:34.786 --> 00:02:38.646
and that you'll give us your wisdom and counsel, and that any intentions of

00:02:38.646 --> 00:02:42.226
the enemy to destroy or hinder our families,

00:02:42.786 --> 00:02:47.386
those who work for us, pray for us and love us, that those events and activities

00:02:47.386 --> 00:02:49.946
of the enemy will be put down and brought to the ground.

00:02:50.186 --> 00:02:54.546
We thank you that no words or weapons spoken against us will have any power to prevail.

00:02:54.826 --> 00:02:56.946
We thank you, Lord Jesus, that you are the wonderful counselor,

00:02:57.026 --> 00:02:58.626
the faithful witness and guide our day.

00:02:58.806 --> 00:03:02.006
Thank you for this day that you have given us another day, Father God,

00:03:02.106 --> 00:03:03.366
to do the work of the kingdom.

00:03:03.586 --> 00:03:06.526
We give you praise and thank you for that in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:03:07.166 --> 00:03:12.526
Well, here we are. Here we are. What are we talking about today? Uncovered. Oh.

00:03:13.506 --> 00:03:19.026
Exposure. Okay. Matthew 10, 26 says,

00:03:19.394 --> 00:03:25.734
For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

00:03:25.934 --> 00:03:28.854
And of course, the parallel passage is in Mark 4, 22.

00:03:29.114 --> 00:03:33.794
For there's nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been

00:03:33.794 --> 00:03:36.894
kept secret that it should come to light.

00:03:37.074 --> 00:03:41.654
Yeah, in Matthew, I'm sorry, he says, he starts out that comment by saying,

00:03:42.114 --> 00:03:44.714
therefore, do not fear them.

00:03:44.714 --> 00:03:50.154
So he's talking about understanding how and what goes on in the snake pit and

00:03:50.154 --> 00:03:54.974
how the enemy promotes fear and brings intimidation, blackmail, bullying,

00:03:55.534 --> 00:03:59.994
all kinds of things to get us to cover up, conceal our sins.

00:04:00.374 --> 00:04:04.614
What does the Bible say? The soul conceals his sin, will not prosper. What is that?

00:04:04.774 --> 00:04:10.514
He that covers his sin will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes shall have mercy.

00:04:11.154 --> 00:04:15.694
And just comment briefly here. You refer to the snake pit quite often.

00:04:15.694 --> 00:04:19.074
What are you referring to? Well— And I think most people understand that.

00:04:19.374 --> 00:04:22.314
Pretty obvious what it is. If you're maybe a first-time listener,

00:04:22.514 --> 00:04:25.514
you were talking about we're living in a snake pit. What exactly is that?

00:04:25.634 --> 00:04:28.674
Well, this world system, the God of this world is, of course,

00:04:28.774 --> 00:04:35.454
the devil who has usurped or taken or confiscated our power and used our authority

00:04:35.454 --> 00:04:40.214
to create a world system that is anti-God,

00:04:40.454 --> 00:04:43.874
anti-love, anti-man. He hates us.

00:04:44.034 --> 00:04:48.434
And so he's done everything he can to continue to enchant and deceive us.

00:04:48.514 --> 00:04:50.314
And one of the things he does, as we're talking about today,

00:04:50.414 --> 00:04:57.054
is he buries us in all kinds of fear and fear of being exposed or fear of being found out.

00:04:57.054 --> 00:05:02.454
And so many of us are under the spell of being blackmailed by the enemy,

00:05:02.714 --> 00:05:06.814
believing that if I tell the truth, it'll be my destruction.

00:05:07.114 --> 00:05:12.114
So truth becomes an enemy, and the lie, the darkness covered,

00:05:12.434 --> 00:05:15.074
things covered in darkness, hidden in darkness for many years.

00:05:17.315 --> 00:05:21.095
Generations have been, have run this world, manipulated it through fear,

00:05:21.335 --> 00:05:23.755
control, like I said, blackmail.

00:05:23.975 --> 00:05:28.255
But God says, and he's talking about this, and I believe we are in these days,

00:05:28.455 --> 00:05:34.095
where every wicked thing, every hidden thing, every secret, all the shame that

00:05:34.095 --> 00:05:36.295
people have been locked in, shame because of the secrets of what's happened

00:05:36.295 --> 00:05:37.035
to them and their families,

00:05:37.515 --> 00:05:40.355
all of that stuff is being brought into the light.

00:05:40.935 --> 00:05:44.915
Yeah, and we see it right now in our nation here in the United States.

00:05:44.915 --> 00:05:53.815
There's a lot of things, corruption, that it runs so deep and it's being exposed right now.

00:05:54.075 --> 00:05:59.155
And so, waste and fraud and all kinds of evil things.

00:05:59.395 --> 00:06:03.255
The thing is, God doesn't have to discover anything.

00:06:03.455 --> 00:06:08.735
Right, he knows it all. In Hebrews 4.13, there is no creature hidden from his

00:06:08.735 --> 00:06:16.595
sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

00:06:16.855 --> 00:06:24.095
So, you know, accountability to God is something that most people don't think about. They avoid it.

00:06:24.175 --> 00:06:28.815
They think, I can't tell God my secrets, but of course, God already knows everything

00:06:28.815 --> 00:06:31.335
from the foundation of the world. You're not hiding anything from him.

00:06:31.475 --> 00:06:35.595
You're just being deceived yourself. Right. Psalm 44, 21, the last part of that

00:06:35.595 --> 00:06:38.695
verse says, he knows the secrets of the heart.

00:06:38.935 --> 00:06:44.255
And Romans 2, 16 said, God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according

00:06:44.255 --> 00:06:46.495
to my gospel. Well, let's stop right there for a second.

00:06:46.695 --> 00:06:50.775
In that day, when God will judge, in that day, there's a day coming.

00:06:51.115 --> 00:06:57.095
This is Romans 2, 16. In that day, when God will judge the secrets of men.

00:06:57.615 --> 00:07:00.495
What are the secrets of men? Well, one of the secrets, I believe,

00:07:00.615 --> 00:07:02.395
is that we think we can do it ourselves.

00:07:02.575 --> 00:07:06.935
We think that God doesn't see it. We think that we're not accountable to anyone

00:07:06.935 --> 00:07:09.355
but ourselves, and that's a deception.

00:07:09.775 --> 00:07:15.095
So the secrets, the things that are being uncovered are the things Satan has taught us.

00:07:15.555 --> 00:07:18.195
We've learned, we've been programmed to believe are true and they're not.

00:07:18.355 --> 00:07:24.015
So it's really an uncovering of the lies and the structure of divination and

00:07:24.015 --> 00:07:29.775
enchantments and all the things that really run the equipment that we are using

00:07:29.775 --> 00:07:32.195
to persecute us and bind us.

00:07:32.515 --> 00:07:37.755
Another interesting passage related to that is Ecclesiastes 8.11.

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:43.239
It says, because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily,

00:07:43.419 --> 00:07:48.439
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:52.479
In other words, if it doesn't, well, we think we're getting by with it.

00:07:52.679 --> 00:07:58.819
You know, oh, I mean, I curse God and lightning didn't strike me and I am still alive.

00:07:58.819 --> 00:08:04.039
And so I think I'm getting by with it. And there's so many people in our world

00:08:04.039 --> 00:08:08.539
that get by with things because of their wealth and their position and their influence and so forth.

00:08:09.419 --> 00:08:14.419
They're not getting by with anything. But we're not getting by with anything

00:08:14.419 --> 00:08:16.539
in that world. Yeah, it's true.

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:21.639
And I think that one of the secrets with what we don't understand how the system,

00:08:21.799 --> 00:08:27.919
the spiritual laws of this world are set up, is that Satan counterfeits everything,

00:08:27.919 --> 00:08:30.339
including the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:08:30.339 --> 00:08:34.619
He has a counterfeit for salvation. He has a counterfeit for the gospel. He has a counterfeit.

00:08:35.079 --> 00:08:38.939
He wants to be the Savior. He wants to set you up into such a bad problem.

00:08:39.119 --> 00:08:41.959
Then he solves the problem by giving you another problem.

00:08:42.219 --> 00:08:45.299
And so you become, you know, have two problems at that point.

00:08:45.459 --> 00:08:48.179
So all of these hidden works of darkness, the counterfeiting,

00:08:48.479 --> 00:08:52.419
the hidden works, man, is we have to come awake.

00:08:52.539 --> 00:08:56.039
We have to wake up. It's not just being uncovered.

00:08:56.039 --> 00:09:03.659
It's realizing that we have been bound by the lies and that God is uncovering,

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:10.299
exposing the lies so that we can receive and walk in the truth.

00:09:10.479 --> 00:09:14.739
And it's really, it's the grace and mercy of God that he does expose us.

00:09:15.712 --> 00:09:20.332
Those lies. You know, we live in a world that's so full of appearances.

00:09:21.012 --> 00:09:25.392
Right. Appearance. And Jesus said, do not make judgments based on appearances.

00:09:25.672 --> 00:09:27.972
Oh, my, my, my. But that's the other side of the whole thing.

00:09:28.512 --> 00:09:32.832
It's like the appearances, what it looks like, what it feels like,

00:09:33.012 --> 00:09:34.892
what it appeals to be, appears to be.

00:09:35.012 --> 00:09:39.612
And all of that is part of the enchantment. Satan is luring us by beautiful

00:09:39.612 --> 00:09:44.252
things, drawing us into seductions and things that look good,

00:09:44.252 --> 00:09:46.572
but they're not good for us.

00:09:46.652 --> 00:09:50.152
And they're ultimately a snare, a trap, bait on the hook, if you will.

00:09:50.552 --> 00:09:55.712
And so the Lord wants us to realize that we are being, Satan is fishing for

00:09:55.712 --> 00:09:57.312
us. He wants to capture our souls.

00:09:57.692 --> 00:10:03.512
He puts things in our life that we're hungry for and then makes them look good.

00:10:03.672 --> 00:10:07.072
Like I think of this often, love is blind. Well, that's not good.

00:10:07.892 --> 00:10:11.692
Love is really not blind. Well, it is. True love is 20-20.

00:10:12.212 --> 00:10:16.192
But true love is also willing to receive the person as they are and not try

00:10:16.192 --> 00:10:18.572
to control them and make them into what you want them to be. Right.

00:10:18.912 --> 00:10:24.672
But love, many times when people are infatuated, they're lured into a spell,

00:10:24.752 --> 00:10:27.892
a spirit, a spirit of witchcraft, a spirit of control. But it looks like what

00:10:27.892 --> 00:10:29.712
it feels like. It feels like love.

00:10:29.872 --> 00:10:32.492
It feels, feels, feels, feels, feels, feels, feels, feels, feels.

00:10:32.632 --> 00:10:33.452
And we go by our feelings.

00:10:33.872 --> 00:10:37.152
And Jesus said, don't do that. He didn't say the just shall live by their feelings.

00:10:37.352 --> 00:10:39.392
He said they'll live by faith.

00:10:39.612 --> 00:10:43.212
And so, again, being uncovered and discovering the allurements,

00:10:43.552 --> 00:10:47.832
the corruptions, the counterfeits that are even operating in your own life.

00:10:47.912 --> 00:10:51.932
Now, there's not a lot we can do about everybody else's lies.

00:10:52.132 --> 00:10:55.152
I mean, we can tell the truth. We can be the light and let them see the light.

00:10:55.332 --> 00:10:58.232
And they can make the judgments and decisions for themselves because each man

00:10:58.232 --> 00:11:00.532
is going to have to judge himself. It says in, I think, Corinthians.

00:11:00.852 --> 00:11:04.352
And if we would judge ourselves, we would not need to be judged by the Lord.

00:11:04.352 --> 00:11:08.792
Now, this means if I would let the Holy Spirit convict me of what I need to

00:11:08.792 --> 00:11:14.292
be convicted of and honor that and operate in that and submit to that and use

00:11:14.292 --> 00:11:18.832
that information to walk out of the trap, we could walk out of the trap and into freedom.

00:11:18.832 --> 00:11:22.092
But I think a lot of people are so exhausted.

00:11:23.632 --> 00:11:30.552
It's so familiar. Life is the easy way out, just kind of coasting, drifting downstream.

00:11:31.732 --> 00:11:36.632
These kinds of things have created fatigue, depression, exhaustion.

00:11:36.852 --> 00:11:42.752
I don't care. I give up. All of these things are treacherous things the enemy has done to your life.

00:11:42.952 --> 00:11:47.852
It's not just normal. This isn't God's normal. God's normal Christian life is

00:11:47.852 --> 00:11:51.312
to be walking and working and looking like the book of Acts.

00:11:51.412 --> 00:11:56.432
Once the word of God is declared, you know, it's there, it's settled.

00:11:56.772 --> 00:12:01.832
The Bible says God's word is settled forever in heaven. But once it declares...

00:12:02.615 --> 00:12:09.675
It's declared in context and truth, not being twisted. It will expose darkness.

00:12:09.955 --> 00:12:13.175
Yes, it will. And the gospel is one of those things that exposes darkness.

00:12:13.335 --> 00:12:18.675
However, the gospel, like I said, has been also manipulated and counterfeited and mixed.

00:12:18.935 --> 00:12:22.555
The true gospel of grace and good news of Jesus Christ, he died for our sins.

00:12:22.575 --> 00:12:24.015
He paid the price with his blood.

00:12:24.255 --> 00:12:27.955
That was the price that was demanded by sin and death. He paid it.

00:12:28.175 --> 00:12:32.715
We're free. that gospel, a simple gospel, has been corrupted by all kinds of

00:12:32.715 --> 00:12:39.995
other theologies and add-ons, Klingons, including the remixing and re-including the law.

00:12:40.215 --> 00:12:44.415
I've got to do stuff to be. I've got to do to be. I've got to do good works to be okay.

00:12:44.835 --> 00:12:48.775
No, the Lord's order is you be, and out of being comes doing,

00:12:48.895 --> 00:12:50.995
not out of doing comes being.

00:12:51.155 --> 00:12:56.455
So being the son or daughter of the Most High God, being citizens of heaven,

00:12:56.775 --> 00:13:00.895
knowing who we are, that we're ambassadors on this earth to bring light,

00:13:01.155 --> 00:13:03.215
the true light which exposes the darkness.

00:13:03.755 --> 00:13:06.595
That's what we're called to do by the Lord.

00:13:07.055 --> 00:13:11.955
Matthew 24, 11 says, then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

00:13:12.115 --> 00:13:14.535
We're in the age of false prophets.

00:13:14.775 --> 00:13:22.795
And what he says, and Paul goes into more detail about this in 2 Corinthians 11,

00:13:23.075 --> 00:13:31.675
for such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

00:13:31.835 --> 00:13:37.155
And no wonder, for Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of life.

00:13:37.155 --> 00:13:51.015
Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into

00:13:51.015 --> 00:13:52.895
ministers of righteousness.

00:13:53.035 --> 00:13:56.895
They look like they're godly, wonderful people whose end will be according to

00:13:56.895 --> 00:14:01.055
their works because God sees the truth. But notice that word three times there

00:14:01.055 --> 00:14:07.295
in those three verses, transforming, transforms, and transform.

00:14:07.575 --> 00:14:11.375
In other words, they're changing their shape.

00:14:11.515 --> 00:14:16.175
They look like something good and they're really vile.

00:14:16.335 --> 00:14:21.895
Well, earlier in that chapter, Paul even says, verse 3 of 2 Corinthians 11.3,

00:14:22.395 --> 00:14:27.195
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness.

00:14:27.875 --> 00:14:31.475
So your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

00:14:31.955 --> 00:14:36.555
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached,

00:14:36.715 --> 00:14:40.275
or if you receive a different spirit, which you have not received,

00:14:40.415 --> 00:14:44.075
or a different gospel, which you have not accepted, you may well put up with it.

00:14:44.095 --> 00:14:47.475
In other words, he's saying, I told you the truth, but you may fall for the lie.

00:14:47.635 --> 00:14:50.795
You may fall for the deception. It needs to be uncovered. And I think what God

00:14:50.795 --> 00:14:55.755
is doing now in this uncovering, it's not just a personal uncovering of your secrets.

00:14:56.155 --> 00:15:00.515
If you will work with the Holy Spirit and if he uncovers the secret and shows

00:15:00.515 --> 00:15:04.515
you that you've been tricked, I mean, a lot of times we're mad upset with ourselves

00:15:04.515 --> 00:15:07.715
because we got tricked, we sinned, we did shameful things.

00:15:08.115 --> 00:15:11.695
And the devil wants us to feel that way. He wants to feel, oh, I'm so bad, condemned.

00:15:11.935 --> 00:15:15.135
I can't believe I did that. But God wants you to say, you know what?

00:15:15.295 --> 00:15:17.035
Let's put the blame on the devil.

00:15:17.295 --> 00:15:20.995
Let's do what I've asked you to do, which is repent, forgive yourself,

00:15:21.195 --> 00:15:25.475
get out of the pit and start doing what I built you to do. And that is preach the gospel.

00:15:25.755 --> 00:15:30.095
Another thing, too, we think of secrets as being exposed to something evil.

00:15:30.315 --> 00:15:38.015
We've got some evil secret thing that God knows about, and maybe nobody else knows except God and us.

00:15:38.155 --> 00:15:40.575
But there's secrets of the heart.

00:15:40.935 --> 00:15:45.415
God said it's going to expose the secrets of the heart that are going to be

00:15:45.415 --> 00:15:48.435
manifested on that day of judgment.

00:15:49.215 --> 00:15:55.835
So basically the heart motivation. You know, basically, we're going to all appear

00:15:55.835 --> 00:15:57.655
before the judgment seat of Christ.

00:15:58.675 --> 00:16:03.855
Yeah, let me just say that the pressure we go under or are exposed to in this

00:16:03.855 --> 00:16:09.575
world, in the snake pit, is for purification and for cleansing and for exposing

00:16:09.575 --> 00:16:12.635
so that the hidden works of darkness, the hidden works of the heart can be exposed.

00:16:12.715 --> 00:16:15.915
And Jesus talks about that in Mark chapter 7.

00:16:16.604 --> 00:16:22.024
Verse 21, for from within, out of the heart of men proceed evil thoughts,

00:16:22.844 --> 00:16:24.644
adulteries, fornications, murders.

00:16:25.904 --> 00:16:30.864
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye,

00:16:31.024 --> 00:16:37.824
blasphemy, pride, foolishness, and all of these evil things come from within and defile a man.

00:16:37.924 --> 00:16:40.624
So he's saying what the heart is full of the mouth speaks.

00:16:40.844 --> 00:16:45.004
And he says in, it's Matthew, if the light that is in you be darkness,

00:16:45.404 --> 00:16:46.404
how great is that darkness?

00:16:46.504 --> 00:16:49.004
If the thing that you're believing to be true is not the truth,

00:16:49.024 --> 00:16:53.524
it's a fake truth, it's a false truth, it's a lie, and you believe it and hold

00:16:53.524 --> 00:16:57.164
to it to be the truth, like holding on to a mixed gospel, for example,

00:16:57.424 --> 00:17:00.784
that is deadly because ultimately the lie prevails.

00:17:00.924 --> 00:17:06.804
Because if you have a steak with one drop of arsenic, you still have poison

00:17:06.804 --> 00:17:08.024
if you're going to eat that thing.

00:17:08.204 --> 00:17:14.184
And so the truth is pure and agrees with itself, but many times Satan uses a

00:17:14.184 --> 00:17:19.124
lot of truth to tell a lie and to bury us in confusion and fear.

00:17:19.364 --> 00:17:22.964
So, fear is holding you hostage, saying, oh, you can't tell anybody.

00:17:23.204 --> 00:17:24.744
Oh, what would they say if they knew?

00:17:25.224 --> 00:17:30.404
And so, the shame of being uncovered holds us in that place of being bound.

00:17:32.784 --> 00:17:37.904
Just shifting here a little bit in 1 Corinthians 3.11, for no other foundation

00:17:37.904 --> 00:17:42.424
can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. He's the foundation.

00:17:43.124 --> 00:17:46.984
But now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver,

00:17:47.124 --> 00:17:50.124
precious stones, wood, hay, straw.

00:17:51.020 --> 00:17:55.580
Each one's work will become clear, for the day will declare it,

00:17:55.600 --> 00:17:57.680
because it will be revealed by what?

00:17:57.940 --> 00:18:02.900
Fire. And the fire will test each one's work of what sort it is.

00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:10.540
If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.

00:18:11.220 --> 00:18:16.700
If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved as yet through fire.

00:18:16.840 --> 00:18:19.580
Now we're talking about believers here.

00:18:20.080 --> 00:18:22.760
You know, what are we building on? Jesus is the foundation.

00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:26.960
But there's a couple of different things. What's going to happen?

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:31.580
You've got gold, silver, precious stones. When the fire hits it, what's going to happen?

00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:35.660
They're going to remain, right? Because they're precious.

00:18:36.020 --> 00:18:39.100
What's going to happen when the fire hits wood, hay, and straw?

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:42.680
Or stubble, it says in the King James. It's going to burn up.

00:18:42.800 --> 00:18:44.800
You know, it looks like a lot.

00:18:45.020 --> 00:18:49.240
I mean, a load of hay may look a lot compared to a bar of gold.

00:18:49.580 --> 00:18:52.660
But what's more valuable? And what's going to remain when the fire comes?

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.840
What's going to be green? And Peter said this way, he said, what manner of men

00:18:55.840 --> 00:18:59.720
ought we to be, seeing that these things are coming upon us when the earth is

00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.040
going to be melted with fervent heat?

00:19:01.280 --> 00:19:04.420
You and I may live to see that. We will be around somewhere,

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:08.880
but that's going to just really sort things out pretty fast.

00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:11.280
What's real, what's genuine, and what's not?

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:19.200
But he says, Peter also says in 1 Peter 5, he says, God resists the proud.

00:19:19.882 --> 00:19:23.902
God gives grace to the humble. Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty

00:19:23.902 --> 00:19:28.742
hand of God that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you.

00:19:29.042 --> 00:19:32.902
Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, walks about like a

00:19:32.902 --> 00:19:35.022
roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

00:19:35.362 --> 00:19:40.022
Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced

00:19:40.022 --> 00:19:41.942
by your brotherhood in the world.

00:19:42.022 --> 00:19:47.002
So there's a lot of testing and treachery, and the devil is inspecting,

00:19:47.002 --> 00:19:48.562
and he's trying to hold us hostage.

00:19:48.902 --> 00:19:51.562
If you're a sleeping giant, he's not going to bug you. You're going to have

00:19:51.562 --> 00:19:53.542
a lot of nice things. You're going to stay comfortable.

00:19:54.002 --> 00:19:57.062
You're going to stay, you know, everything's good. You know,

00:19:57.062 --> 00:19:57.882
I don't have to do anything.

00:19:58.062 --> 00:20:05.122
I don't have to, you know, make myself uncomfortable by pursuing the way, the truth, and the life.

00:20:05.242 --> 00:20:07.842
I can just sort of hang out here and see how it all goes.

00:20:08.062 --> 00:20:11.902
That's through sleeping giants who are actually being deceived.

00:20:12.202 --> 00:20:16.062
And Satan does not want them to wake up. But for the rest of us,

00:20:16.262 --> 00:20:21.662
God is giving us grace to wake up, fight the fight, be sober,

00:20:21.782 --> 00:20:25.802
be vigilant, because we really know that we're in danger if we don't.

00:20:26.482 --> 00:20:29.722
God just zips right past the appearances.

00:20:30.602 --> 00:20:36.482
Jesus said in Matthew 23, 25, woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.

00:20:36.602 --> 00:20:39.622
In other words, something they pretend a hypocrite is an actor.

00:20:39.822 --> 00:20:43.482
They used to call actors hypocrites. That's where the word comes from.

00:20:44.062 --> 00:20:47.702
They're simply actors. It looks, they're not real. They're something else.

00:20:47.702 --> 00:20:50.362
Pretenders. They're pretending to be something that they're not.

00:20:50.902 --> 00:20:56.142
Or someone that they're not. For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish. But it looks pretty.

00:20:56.382 --> 00:21:01.562
It looks clean on the outside. But inside, they're full of extortion and self-indulgence.

00:21:01.762 --> 00:21:07.762
He says, blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish that the

00:21:07.762 --> 00:21:09.142
outside may be clean also.

00:21:09.222 --> 00:21:12.282
And then he says, woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites.

00:21:12.282 --> 00:21:17.462
For you are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly,

00:21:18.037 --> 00:21:23.637
but inside they are full of dead men's bones. They would make prayers.

00:21:24.257 --> 00:21:29.237
Long prayers. Long prayers in the public square so people would think, oh, how pious they are.

00:21:29.417 --> 00:21:35.357
And they would make broad the phylacteries, the trim of their garment to show

00:21:35.357 --> 00:21:40.497
that we are the religious ones, we are the elite, and Jesus looks right past

00:21:40.497 --> 00:21:42.117
that and says, you're a bunch of phonies.

00:21:42.277 --> 00:21:46.877
He said he actually does some of them in John chapter 8. They're of your children.

00:21:47.757 --> 00:21:51.117
Of the devil. Of your father, the devil. You are of your father,

00:21:51.297 --> 00:21:53.297
the devil. So there it is.

00:21:53.537 --> 00:21:56.437
So basically— But do you believe Jesus? Do you really believe what he is saying?

00:21:56.637 --> 00:21:58.777
I mean, here's where the rubber meets the road.

00:21:59.117 --> 00:22:01.917
Whose report are you going to believe? Are you going to believe what it looks

00:22:01.917 --> 00:22:04.597
like and feels like and what you've been taught to believe and programmed to

00:22:04.597 --> 00:22:08.997
believe and indoctrinated to believe and do what everybody else is doing and

00:22:08.997 --> 00:22:12.377
keep going with the fads and the trends and be lured,

00:22:12.457 --> 00:22:15.037
lured, lured over into the edge of the cliff and you don't even know you're

00:22:15.037 --> 00:22:16.397
being stampeded. into your own death?

00:22:16.657 --> 00:22:21.797
Or are you going to say, what does God have to say? Let's open up the word and see what he has to say.

00:22:21.977 --> 00:22:25.757
You know, there's a lot of people now, younger people, who haven't been so jaded

00:22:26.197 --> 00:22:30.957
with the cares of the world and covetousness and whatnot, and they have nothing

00:22:30.957 --> 00:22:32.057
and they know the end is near.

00:22:32.497 --> 00:22:36.997
They're not playing with this. They have been stupid. They have been seduced.

00:22:37.117 --> 00:22:39.057
They have been deceived. They've been programmed as well.

00:22:39.317 --> 00:22:42.997
But they're rising up. But they're rising up because they're done with this

00:22:42.997 --> 00:22:48.377
garbage. And this is the new generation that you can be part of the new generation

00:22:48.377 --> 00:22:52.937
even if you're not young, because the new generation, all that is about is the truth.

00:22:53.277 --> 00:22:56.557
Jesus Christ is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

00:22:56.757 --> 00:23:02.317
It's a kingdom generation. And Jesus said in John 7, 24, do not judge according

00:23:02.317 --> 00:23:05.757
to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.

00:23:06.057 --> 00:23:09.517
And so what God is looking for is obedience.

00:23:10.197 --> 00:23:13.357
He's looking for honesty and the motivation. To surrender.

00:23:13.917 --> 00:23:16.877
And to motivate. Why do we do what we do?

00:23:17.097 --> 00:23:22.097
Is it to be seen of men? Do we receive the praises of people?

00:23:22.317 --> 00:23:26.617
Or is it because we just want to please God whether anybody notices or not?

00:23:27.197 --> 00:23:35.137
God notices. God notices your heart and the things that you're after with him

00:23:35.137 --> 00:23:37.997
and for him. Well, the bottom line, there's only two kingdoms.

00:23:38.797 --> 00:23:43.537
There's fear, which is the devil's kingdom. and then there's love or truth, which is God's kingdom.

00:23:43.857 --> 00:23:50.137
And so you can figure out quite quickly what your motives are and what software

00:23:50.137 --> 00:23:53.617
are you listening to, the one that's operating under the counsel of the body of death,

00:23:53.957 --> 00:23:56.797
that program that operates out of your soul, which is your mind,

00:23:56.897 --> 00:24:00.817
will, and emotions, or are you going to turn over and click into the spirit

00:24:00.817 --> 00:24:02.977
software where you can walk in the truth and know the truth?

00:24:03.197 --> 00:24:07.957
So the bottom line is fear versus truth or fear versus love.

00:24:08.157 --> 00:24:12.317
And so you can, there's only two kingdoms, so you can reduce quickly down,

00:24:12.497 --> 00:24:14.997
ask yourself, okay, why am I doing this?

00:24:15.561 --> 00:24:19.641
What is motivating me to do this, whatever it is you're pondering,

00:24:19.861 --> 00:24:24.861
this decision, this behavior, this, this, whatever you're doing,

00:24:25.421 --> 00:24:28.261
Father God, what is motivating me to do this?

00:24:28.421 --> 00:24:33.341
And if it reduces down to fear, anxiety, stress, what other people will think,

00:24:33.541 --> 00:24:37.721
or, or I don't know, I don't know is also from the devil's kingdom,

00:24:37.961 --> 00:24:41.661
then it's you're operating out of fear, and you're being controlled by fear.

00:24:41.661 --> 00:24:46.461
And if you're controlled by fear, then you will also be practicing witchcraft,

00:24:46.561 --> 00:24:50.181
which means you're trying to control things because you feel like I've got to

00:24:50.181 --> 00:24:51.781
control them to be okay, to be safe.

00:24:52.021 --> 00:24:55.461
But if it reduces down to, I love God, it's good, God's got this,

00:24:55.601 --> 00:24:58.821
I'm okay, it's going to turn out, all things work together for good,

00:24:59.081 --> 00:25:00.721
then it's from the heavenly kingdom.

00:25:01.581 --> 00:25:05.801
And again, going back to what Jesus said, what the heart is full of,

00:25:05.861 --> 00:25:07.921
the mouth speaks. So here's the deal.

00:25:08.281 --> 00:25:12.401
The mouth will tell you what you're doing. If you listen to your mouth,

00:25:12.621 --> 00:25:16.121
if out of the mouth is coming murmuring, complaining, gossip,

00:25:16.381 --> 00:25:19.941
negativity, rehashing the problems over and over,

00:25:20.561 --> 00:25:24.481
doubt, double-mindedness, or the devil's diagnosis of whatever it is,

00:25:24.601 --> 00:25:29.641
if those things are coming out of your mouth, then you are listening to the liar.

00:25:29.641 --> 00:25:33.561
But if what's coming out of your mouth is hope and truth and peace and fear,

00:25:33.721 --> 00:25:37.421
no matter what it looks like, I don't, you know, again, I don't care what it

00:25:37.421 --> 00:25:38.961
looks like. I don't care what it feels like.

00:25:39.161 --> 00:25:42.941
What it is is what I need to know the truth. And the truth will not only set

00:25:42.941 --> 00:25:46.761
me free, but the truth will give you peace and freedom and joy,

00:25:46.921 --> 00:25:47.941
righteousness, peace and joy.

00:25:48.141 --> 00:25:52.581
So freedom comes from truth. And so if you're in your world today and you just

00:25:52.581 --> 00:25:55.661
thought, well, you don't, you've got a decision to make. Should I go? Should I not go?

00:25:56.251 --> 00:25:59.831
Ask the Lord to show you what it reduces down to. Why are you doing it?

00:25:59.991 --> 00:26:03.511
And let the Holy Spirit guide you, because otherwise, that's the only way you're

00:26:03.511 --> 00:26:08.651
going to uncover anything, is to look at it and say, okay, what's the motive here?

00:26:08.691 --> 00:26:11.471
Why am I doing this? And let God show you.

00:26:12.431 --> 00:26:17.631
Matthew 7, 21 through 23, Not everyone who says to me, Lord,

00:26:17.791 --> 00:26:22.591
Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father

00:26:22.591 --> 00:26:26.151
in heaven, many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord,

00:26:26.991 --> 00:26:29.771
You know, it's a profession, right? Outward profession.

00:26:30.451 --> 00:26:34.971
Have we not prophesied in your name, cast out demons in your name,

00:26:35.191 --> 00:26:37.811
and done many wonders in your name?

00:26:38.011 --> 00:26:41.191
Then I will declare to them, I never knew you.

00:26:41.431 --> 00:26:45.231
In other words, I never have a close relationship with you.

00:26:45.751 --> 00:26:49.771
Depart from you who practice lawlessness. Well, look at that.

00:26:50.151 --> 00:26:55.071
They professed obedience. They professed that they were doing so much for the Lord.

00:26:55.291 --> 00:27:00.031
They were doers. They were deceived, but they were doing— There wasn't the love

00:27:00.031 --> 00:27:02.231
motive. It was out of works and fear.

00:27:02.631 --> 00:27:05.791
So you can serve God out of fear. You can get saved out of fear,

00:27:05.831 --> 00:27:07.851
actually, because they don't want to die and go to hell.

00:27:08.011 --> 00:27:12.251
But the real reason to get saved is because you realize that you are loved by

00:27:12.251 --> 00:27:15.331
God, that you are lost, and that the Lord is good.

00:27:15.551 --> 00:27:18.991
So again, looking at this scripture, not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord.

00:27:19.551 --> 00:27:22.171
Now, how many have said, Lord, Lord, that you know of, even yourself?

00:27:22.781 --> 00:27:26.581
Shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father

00:27:26.581 --> 00:27:29.641
in heaven. So there is a criteria here. It's not just lip service.

00:27:30.881 --> 00:27:34.301
It's not just talking the talk. It's walking the walk. And he says,

00:27:34.461 --> 00:27:36.381
who does the will of my Father in heaven.

00:27:36.401 --> 00:27:39.541
So what is the will? The will of the Father is that you do not be deceived.

00:27:40.181 --> 00:27:43.781
Many will say to me in that day, so Lord, we've done all this stuff.

00:27:43.981 --> 00:27:47.201
We've prophesied. We've got a lot of false prophets out there who think they're

00:27:47.201 --> 00:27:50.881
prophesying out of God, and they're not. They're being totally deceived.

00:27:51.481 --> 00:27:57.621
Prophesy in your name. We've even cast out demons in your name and done many wonders in your name.

00:27:57.701 --> 00:28:02.881
This is scary because the enemy actually can do all of these counterfeit things.

00:28:03.721 --> 00:28:07.021
He's full of signs and lying signs and wonders, call fire from heaven.

00:28:07.281 --> 00:28:10.921
He can deceive even the very elect if he can, if it were possible.

00:28:11.181 --> 00:28:14.741
But he also, you know, the casting out of demons, just because somebody's casting

00:28:14.741 --> 00:28:19.201
a demon out doesn't mean necessarily that they've got the right gospel either,

00:28:19.201 --> 00:28:21.781
because the devil can cast out demons.

00:28:21.841 --> 00:28:25.241
He can replace them, cause them to move out for a minute, whatever.

00:28:25.941 --> 00:28:30.341
Dan, many wonders in your name. The truth thing that we need to know is that

00:28:30.341 --> 00:28:32.621
God knows our hearts. We know our hearts.

00:28:32.821 --> 00:28:37.141
We're genuine. We're not here to try to justify ourself before God.

00:28:37.561 --> 00:28:41.301
Jesus didn't say, do your good works and justify yourself and give yourself

00:28:41.301 --> 00:28:44.821
a right to come to heaven, prove that you're worthy of being created,

00:28:44.961 --> 00:28:48.641
prove that you deserve to be my son or my daughter. He didn't say any of that.

00:28:48.761 --> 00:28:54.001
He just said, Jesus said one simple thing, follow me, follow me, follow me.

00:28:54.181 --> 00:28:57.021
And what does that mean? That means that you are not in control.

00:28:57.201 --> 00:29:01.841
That means you are not going to be deceived because he's not going to lead you into a pit of lies.

00:29:02.041 --> 00:29:05.941
Jesus is not going to, he'll lead you out of a pit of lies and uncover those lies.

00:29:06.041 --> 00:29:09.281
And as you walk with him, he's going to show you here and there and everywhere

00:29:09.281 --> 00:29:11.581
and all along the away the lies that you have believed.

00:29:11.861 --> 00:29:16.361
And so following Jesus will uncover the lies and set you free.

00:29:16.681 --> 00:29:18.881
And that's really, it's a desire.

00:29:19.261 --> 00:29:24.701
It's a desire. We want to follow him because we love him. We realize his love.

00:29:24.821 --> 00:29:29.261
And that's a difficult thing for many people that have lived in a loveless world,

00:29:29.261 --> 00:29:31.421
a loveless family, a loveless environment.

00:29:31.981 --> 00:29:37.081
Lawless and loveless. But Lord, I just want you to realize today how much the

00:29:37.081 --> 00:29:38.881
Lord really truly loves you.

00:29:39.721 --> 00:29:45.481
And if you know him, he's forgiven you much and he wants you just to serve him

00:29:45.481 --> 00:29:48.941
because you love him. And it's not just a gooshy, gooshy feeling.

00:29:49.241 --> 00:29:54.741
It's a matter of you just, you do it because obedience is the sign of love.

00:29:55.401 --> 00:30:02.921
Obedience to what the Spirit of God speaks to you through the Word. And that's the,

00:30:03.760 --> 00:30:09.920
That's your directive. That's your call. And when you realize his love for you

00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:13.540
and he's speaking to you and you say, okay, I will do it, Lord.

00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:17.940
I will follow you. And it's an adventure. It's not a burden.

00:30:18.280 --> 00:30:23.420
You have attacks. You have resistance, all that sort of stuff. But it's not a burden.

00:30:23.580 --> 00:30:26.860
When you love, it's not a burden.

00:30:27.040 --> 00:30:30.020
It's not something you have to do. It's something that you get to do.

00:30:30.320 --> 00:30:33.280
And following him is just really the only way to go.

00:30:33.760 --> 00:30:39.780
And there's a word I believe the Lord wants to give to parents today whose children

00:30:39.780 --> 00:30:43.060
are wayward in various different ways,

00:30:43.340 --> 00:30:47.880
whether they're drugged or they're identity confused or they're rebellious or

00:30:47.880 --> 00:30:50.840
they're not listening or they're full of deaf and dumb spirits,

00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:52.880
whatever it is, unclean spirits.

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:59.180
The word the Lord gives to certain parents who've just heard or just been watching

00:30:59.180 --> 00:31:05.440
or standing in faith, believing for your child, who has been snatched away by the enemy.

00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.000
These are teenagers or young adults snatched away.

00:31:10.120 --> 00:31:14.480
God's word to you, parent, is to stand and stay standing.

00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:17.600
Don't freak out. Keep seeking God.

00:31:18.280 --> 00:31:22.460
Look at them as Jesus would look at them. See them through the eyes of Jesus.

00:31:23.100 --> 00:31:27.680
Give grace because they are being tested. Satan is trying to keep them,

00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:30.100
and God is actually through this whole thing.

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:33.180
He is delivering them, and it doesn't look like that right now.

00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.420
It looks like they're being bound, but look at what God is doing.

00:31:35.620 --> 00:31:40.840
So stand, stay standing, and praise God, and thank Him for what He's doing, and don't panic.

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:46.020
Father, I just pray right now, we pray together in the name of Jesus for the

00:31:46.020 --> 00:31:48.520
parents that are just suffering.

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:51.800
Watching their children. They're watching their children. and it seems like

00:31:51.800 --> 00:31:53.260
there's nothing that they can do.

00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:56.900
But there is much that they can do. They can continue in prayer.

00:31:57.040 --> 00:32:02.120
Stay in peace. They can stay in peace and joy, realizing that the Lord cares

00:32:02.120 --> 00:32:07.320
for them and he's working in them in ways that we cannot see right now.

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:11.080
So, Lord, we just call them back in the name of Jesus.

00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.900
We say prodigals, those that are out there wandering.

00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:21.260
And let the spells be broken and the sorcery be broken from over their heads,

00:32:21.380 --> 00:32:22.500
their minds, their understandings.

00:32:22.860 --> 00:32:26.600
Bring them out of this catatonic state. Wake them up, Father God.

00:32:27.340 --> 00:32:29.320
In Jesus' name. Like the prodigal and the pig pen.

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.820
He said, what am I doing here? He came to himself.

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.280
May they come to themselves. And come home. And they come to Father's house,

00:32:35.300 --> 00:32:40.100
and may they be raised up as firebrands of the gospel. Amen.

00:32:40.460 --> 00:32:43.120
In this generation. Amen. In Jesus' name.

00:32:43.838 --> 00:32:47.298
Amen. Amen. Well, we have a product.

00:32:47.498 --> 00:32:52.058
We have many on our website. We have many things that you could use to help you.

00:32:52.618 --> 00:32:56.578
Tools, weapons. Yeah. Yeah. Well, weapons indeed. Understanding.

00:32:56.738 --> 00:33:00.438
Because giving understanding and truth gives you power.

00:33:00.998 --> 00:33:05.118
And so today we're going to just look again at the spiritual warfare and how

00:33:05.118 --> 00:33:07.018
deliverance can change your life.

00:33:07.118 --> 00:33:14.378
This is a real accurate and pretty thorough book on the background, the history,

00:33:14.818 --> 00:33:20.478
the operating systems, the lies, the rules in this spiritual war that God has

00:33:20.478 --> 00:33:25.978
shown us, and how the devil wages this war against us. So I would really encourage you to get that.

00:33:26.258 --> 00:33:28.818
A lot of people are buying that book, and they're finding out,

00:33:28.938 --> 00:33:31.798
wow, this is really helpful. This really makes sense.

00:33:31.958 --> 00:33:35.078
This really puts the pieces of the puzzle together.

00:33:35.378 --> 00:33:39.998
And so again, you can get that book, A Spiritual Warfare, and How Deliverance

00:33:39.998 --> 00:33:46.038
Can Change Your Life from Amazon.com or from our own liferecovery.com website.

00:33:46.358 --> 00:33:51.258
So God bless you, and we enjoy your listening. Thank you for listening.

00:33:53.438 --> 00:33:55.598
I have an emergency. What is your location?

00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:14.480
Music.

00:33:59.758 --> 00:34:03.058
I have an emergency.

00:34:07.058 --> 00:34:08.178
Thank you.
