Music.
00:00:25.123 --> 00:00:28.263
Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your son.
00:00:28.823 --> 00:00:32.803
And the war is going on and on and on. And thank you, Jesus, you won.
00:00:33.303 --> 00:00:37.463
Hallelujah. The battle belongs to the Lord. And so we trust you today.
00:00:37.863 --> 00:00:42.443
We give all of these anxieties and heavinesses and all these worries and confusions
00:00:42.443 --> 00:00:46.783
and deceptions and the treachery of the evil one. We give it all to you, Lord God.
00:00:46.943 --> 00:00:49.103
And we declare that you are over all things.
00:00:49.443 --> 00:00:52.723
You are the God of all creation, Lord God. God, you're the God of the beginning
00:00:52.723 --> 00:00:53.903
and you're the God of the end.
00:00:54.143 --> 00:00:57.443
And so we thank you, Lord, for keeping us in the middle. And we thank you,
00:00:57.503 --> 00:01:00.543
Lord, that we declare your will be done, O God, this day on earth,
00:01:00.683 --> 00:01:03.663
in and through us, as it's being done and declared in heaven.
00:01:04.043 --> 00:01:07.983
Father God, that you give us eyes to see and ears to hear and heart to receive
00:01:07.983 --> 00:01:11.723
what you are saying to us, not what the world's saying, not what our emotions
00:01:11.723 --> 00:01:15.383
are saying, not what everybody else says, but what you are saying through your word.
00:01:15.643 --> 00:01:19.383
And give us courage and strengthen our hearts, Lord God, to believe you and
00:01:19.383 --> 00:01:21.823
to do those exploits you've called us to do in these days.
00:01:22.463 --> 00:01:26.063
And I thank you, Lord Jesus, you took courage yourself. You showed us how to
00:01:26.063 --> 00:01:28.603
do this. You died on the cross for our sins.
00:01:28.723 --> 00:01:33.083
You didn't turn back. You didn't whimper out. You didn't get discouraged, Father.
00:01:33.163 --> 00:01:36.043
You just moved forward in all of this. And I thank you, Lord,
00:01:36.063 --> 00:01:37.283
for giving us that example.
00:01:37.663 --> 00:01:41.343
Thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to live inside of us and giving us your prophetic word.
00:01:41.663 --> 00:01:46.443
Thank you, Lord, your word holds as an anchor in the midst of this crazy storm.
00:01:46.603 --> 00:01:50.023
It's like the anchor anchoring us to the rock, Christ Jesus.
00:01:50.223 --> 00:01:52.883
And Lord, we thank you, Father, for giving us power over all the power of the
00:01:52.883 --> 00:01:57.763
enemy, power to live and not die, power to declare and not be deceived,
00:01:57.923 --> 00:02:02.003
Father God, and to use our words against the enemy, Lord God,
00:02:02.103 --> 00:02:04.083
not let the enemy use our words against us.
00:02:04.343 --> 00:02:07.443
And I thank you, Father, for your will be done. I thank you,
00:02:07.543 --> 00:02:11.743
Lord, that the powers of darkness are exposed and they're bound and they're
00:02:11.743 --> 00:02:13.563
restricted, and you will not
00:02:13.563 --> 00:02:18.483
let them do anything that you're not able to stop or fix in Jesus' name.
00:02:18.643 --> 00:02:22.783
And I declare, Lord God, that your kingdom come, your will be done,
00:02:22.903 --> 00:02:26.983
that we are your ambassadors, your assets of yours from heaven to do this will,
00:02:27.183 --> 00:02:30.423
the work, we're the remnant, the army on earth, Father God.
00:02:30.543 --> 00:02:32.963
And I thank you for giving us that great privilege to be that.
00:02:33.083 --> 00:02:36.723
And I thank you, Lord, too, for the promise that no weapon formed against us
00:02:36.723 --> 00:02:40.563
will prosper, that no word said, deed done, action taken will be able to be
00:02:40.563 --> 00:02:43.223
used by the enemy to bring forth any shame, trouble, or reproach.
00:02:43.483 --> 00:02:47.363
I see what you're doing, Lord God, sometimes, and when I see it, it's exciting.
00:02:47.703 --> 00:02:51.883
But hope in our eyes to see it more often so that we can take our heart and
00:02:51.883 --> 00:02:53.603
not be discouraged and not be deceived.
00:02:53.763 --> 00:02:56.143
Father God, in Jesus' name, amen.
00:02:56.789 --> 00:03:01.169
Well, hey, what's happening? I have a question.
00:03:01.669 --> 00:03:05.589
When will the kingdom of God come? Well, there was a question the Pharisees
00:03:05.589 --> 00:03:07.929
asked Jesus a long time ago. Yeah, they did.
00:03:08.089 --> 00:03:15.309
And verse 20 of Luke 17, now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom
00:03:15.309 --> 00:03:20.489
of God would come, he answered them and said, the kingdom of God does not come with observation.
00:03:21.069 --> 00:03:24.729
Let's just pause there for a moment. He said the kingdom of God is not going
00:03:24.729 --> 00:03:26.989
to come. Okay, oh, here it is.
00:03:27.309 --> 00:03:32.249
Okay, we see it now. He said it's not going to come that way.
00:03:32.609 --> 00:03:38.969
The whole idea of the kingdom of God is really all through Scripture that the
00:03:38.969 --> 00:03:44.089
Lord is the sovereign. He is the king over all his creation. Amen.
00:03:44.449 --> 00:03:51.829
Right? And it's going to be, it's manifested or expressed in different forms at different times.
00:03:51.829 --> 00:03:58.309
And so the idea of the kingdom of God in the minds of the Pharisees was that
00:03:58.309 --> 00:04:04.609
Israel was going to have some of its greatness as in the times of David and Solomon.
00:04:05.149 --> 00:04:08.069
And they were going to be the rulers of the world.
00:04:08.669 --> 00:04:16.269
But it was not a political kingdom. It was not a tangible government per se.
00:04:16.469 --> 00:04:20.269
But he said it doesn't come with observation. This is one of the first things
00:04:20.269 --> 00:04:22.449
that he says. You can't really see it. Right.
00:04:22.609 --> 00:04:29.349
The kingdom of God, his intentions, Jesus's intentions were not to be or establish a political kingdom.
00:04:29.789 --> 00:04:36.769
His kingdom is much bigger than that. And it comes from not necessarily seeing it with your eyes.
00:04:36.869 --> 00:04:40.389
So many times you want to see things to believe things.
00:04:41.029 --> 00:04:45.809
But he says it comes without observation. He says it's within you.
00:04:45.989 --> 00:04:49.889
In other words, it's not something you see, but it's something you know.
00:04:50.129 --> 00:04:55.069
It's very different than the answer that they were looking for, I think.
00:04:55.989 --> 00:05:00.969
Totally different. And like the last part of verse 21 that you already mentioned,
00:05:01.109 --> 00:05:03.289
for indeed the kingdom of God is within you.
00:05:03.749 --> 00:05:09.209
It's inside of us, those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:05:09.729 --> 00:05:14.749
Romans 14, 17 says the kingdom of God is not food and it's not drink.
00:05:14.889 --> 00:05:20.029
It's not some superficial religious system, but it is righteousness,
00:05:20.429 --> 00:05:23.629
peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
00:05:23.829 --> 00:05:28.629
Genuine, the fruit of the spirit of abiding in Jesus Christ, and he is the vine.
00:05:28.929 --> 00:05:31.969
So going back to what they were asking, what time is it?
00:05:32.049 --> 00:05:35.489
When is all this, your kingdom coming? I mean, they sensed then,
00:05:35.689 --> 00:05:41.309
as he was getting really close to the cross right there, that there was something about to change.
00:05:41.449 --> 00:05:43.629
And so they wanted to know, kind of a heads up.
00:05:44.209 --> 00:05:47.889
And Jesus, you know, he began to give them, in Luke and Matthew,
00:05:48.269 --> 00:05:51.749
Mark also, the signs of his coming, of his kingdom.
00:05:52.089 --> 00:05:55.289
And the most interesting, powerful of all the signs...
00:05:56.033 --> 00:06:02.093
As he described, you read these chapters towards, you know, Luke 20 and Matthew 24.
00:06:02.533 --> 00:06:10.053
It's all red letters. It's all Jesus telling you, telling us what's going to happen.
00:06:10.213 --> 00:06:15.413
But he talks in riddles, and he talks kind of in parables, and he talks in a
00:06:15.413 --> 00:06:19.273
way that you can't just, okay, this, this, and this, and here it is.
00:06:19.273 --> 00:06:24.453
But the fact is, these are prophetic words and words of God,
00:06:24.553 --> 00:06:27.113
who is Jesus, the prophet, that he is the spirit of prophecy.
00:06:27.313 --> 00:06:31.313
And so the witness and the testimony that these things are really going to happen,
00:06:31.533 --> 00:06:37.033
the very fact that they're being spoke by Jesus Christ himself is the only real
00:06:37.033 --> 00:06:40.993
witness evidence that we need, that God said it.
00:06:41.293 --> 00:06:46.393
Therefore, it is going to happen. So it's an invisible kingdom within the hearts
00:06:46.393 --> 00:06:50.353
of people, but then it is going to become very, very visible indeed.
00:06:50.733 --> 00:06:55.333
So the hard evidence then is his word, his own declaration of what's going to
00:06:55.333 --> 00:06:59.033
happen is hard evidence of his kingdom coming, of the end and the various things
00:06:59.033 --> 00:06:59.873
that we're going to be talking about.
00:07:00.073 --> 00:07:04.513
Yeah, you don't get any more hard evidence than the word of Jesus. What he says, yeah.
00:07:04.633 --> 00:07:10.733
And he says, verse 22, the days will come when you will desire to see one of
00:07:10.733 --> 00:07:15.253
the days of the Son of Man and you will not see it. So he's talking about those
00:07:15.253 --> 00:07:18.473
Pharisees that are really missing the point.
00:07:18.853 --> 00:07:22.473
And verse 23, and they will say to you, look here, look there.
00:07:22.693 --> 00:07:26.313
Do not go after them and follow them. Don't say the kingdom of God's over here.
00:07:26.973 --> 00:07:30.773
Come here, come here, come see this, come hear this one. In Matthew,
00:07:30.773 --> 00:07:33.913
he says the same thing. He says, be not deceived.
00:07:34.073 --> 00:07:36.273
In the last days, many will come in my name.
00:07:36.833 --> 00:07:40.673
Using the name of Jesus, using even lying signs and wonders to get us to follow
00:07:40.673 --> 00:07:42.593
after them. That is another sign.
00:07:42.873 --> 00:07:47.933
Of the sign of intense and deliberate deception.
00:07:48.233 --> 00:07:50.333
So Jesus puts this in perspective.
00:07:50.653 --> 00:07:56.973
He said, verse 24, when the days of the Son of Man are coming,
00:07:57.633 --> 00:08:04.353
he says, verse 24, for as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven
00:08:04.353 --> 00:08:08.593
shines to the other part under heaven, we all see that, right?
00:08:08.733 --> 00:08:10.433
Lightning just fills the sky.
00:08:10.973 --> 00:08:14.113
So also the Son of Man will be in his day.
00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:20.100
You know, that's going to come. But first, in order for this to really happen,
00:08:20.320 --> 00:08:25.760
verse 25, first he must suffer many things and be rejected of this generation.
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.780
That was what he was about to do right there. He was just at the foot of the
00:08:29.780 --> 00:08:35.800
cross, basically days away from being rejected and insulted and mocked and crucified.
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.140
And he says that has to happened first and he was right on.
00:08:39.640 --> 00:08:46.100
Jesus is right on, absolutely on the mark, 100%, nails it every time.
00:08:46.300 --> 00:08:49.780
Although a lot of people have been blinded and cannot see it.
00:08:49.880 --> 00:08:53.060
And that's part of the, that's actually part of the, one of the evidences of
00:08:53.060 --> 00:08:56.020
the end as well, that people will not be able to see it. They'll be deceived.
00:08:56.420 --> 00:09:00.460
People will say, where's the promise of his coming? So since the fathers fell
00:09:00.460 --> 00:09:02.520
asleep, all things continue as they were.
00:09:02.780 --> 00:09:06.660
The Bible says there shall come scoffers in the last days.
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:12.160
That mock the coming of the Lord, that mock followers of Jesus.
00:09:12.660 --> 00:09:20.540
And this is one of the signs of the end, the signs of the return of Jesus is
00:09:20.540 --> 00:09:23.340
these mockers and scoffers.
00:09:23.660 --> 00:09:27.940
So he said, no, one of the things he said, first you must suffer many things,
00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:29.420
be rejected of this generation.
00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:34.100
Again, so the cross, in order to bring the kingdom of God in,
00:09:34.260 --> 00:09:36.320
you can't skip the cross.
00:09:36.660 --> 00:09:41.680
The cross is the key. This is what defeated the powers of hell,
00:09:41.820 --> 00:09:47.680
the powers of darkness, the cross, which includes not only the suffering,
00:09:48.040 --> 00:09:53.080
the death, the burial, but the resurrection and the ascension of Jesus Christ.
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:57.840
It's all what theologians call the cross event.
00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:04.280
The whole picture. If Jesus had been to the cross and he wasn't raised from
00:10:04.280 --> 00:10:07.080
the dead, the cross wouldn't have done us any good.
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:13.200
But in the meantime, we have a choice to make. The cross is established, the cross event.
00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:17.420
All these events really have been already done. They're already finished and
00:10:17.420 --> 00:10:20.580
finalized in heaven. It's just kind of like wrapping it up here on earth.
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.780
But Peter, he was anticipating what we're actually going through.
00:10:24.780 --> 00:10:27.980
And he said, in 2 Peter chapter 3.
00:10:29.216 --> 00:10:31.896
Thus he says, where do we want to start? Probably verse 3. Yeah.
00:10:32.396 --> 00:10:36.896
Knowing first that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to
00:10:36.896 --> 00:10:41.036
their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of his coming?
00:10:41.316 --> 00:10:47.536
So there's a deliberate deception and confusion and scattering of truth so that
00:10:47.536 --> 00:10:49.376
the scoffers are preeminent.
00:10:49.516 --> 00:10:55.396
They make a lot of noise. They use a lot of verbiage. They intimidate. They accuse.
00:10:55.756 --> 00:10:59.396
Where is the promise of his coming? So they're going to try to stir up people
00:10:59.396 --> 00:11:00.756
and say, well, it must not happen.
00:11:00.936 --> 00:11:03.676
It hasn't happened yet. Maybe it's never going to happen. You know,
00:11:03.736 --> 00:11:06.876
maybe I was just dumb to think and stand around here and wait for it to happen.
00:11:07.196 --> 00:11:11.116
He says, but this they willing, let's see, will, and saying,
00:11:11.196 --> 00:11:12.356
where's the promise of his coming?
00:11:12.476 --> 00:11:16.716
For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they are from the beginning of creation.
00:11:17.316 --> 00:11:20.916
Well, you know, that's not exactly true. There was a couple of times when God
00:11:20.916 --> 00:11:24.596
had to interrupt everything, like with the deluge, and call everything to a
00:11:24.596 --> 00:11:28.756
halt and clear the decks and reestablish the DNA.
00:11:29.896 --> 00:11:34.656
And wash the putrefaction, the corruption off the earth.
00:11:35.256 --> 00:11:41.336
But they willfully forget, this is verse 5, that by the word of the Lord,
00:11:41.456 --> 00:11:44.436
the heavens were established of old, the earth standing in and out of the water,
00:11:44.536 --> 00:11:49.776
and by which the earth that existed perished with the flood.
00:11:49.776 --> 00:11:52.996
He's saying, look, we went back to the flood. But the heavens and the earth,
00:11:53.136 --> 00:11:57.776
which now exist, are kept in store by the same word, reserved for fire,
00:11:57.876 --> 00:12:00.676
until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
00:12:00.756 --> 00:12:05.936
So there is a definite judgment, this time with fire, that is coming.
00:12:06.196 --> 00:12:10.916
And, you know, there's many elements and aspects to that judgment and that fire.
00:12:10.916 --> 00:12:15.776
Yeah, well, if you look in Luke 17, verse 26,
00:12:16.056 --> 00:12:24.516
he said, and as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be also in the days of
00:12:24.516 --> 00:12:27.336
the Son of Man, when the Son of Man comes.
00:12:27.696 --> 00:12:37.736
So what were they doing in the days of Noah? Well, if you go back to Genesis chapter 6 and verse 5,
00:12:38.236 --> 00:12:44.796
and the Lord saw that the wickedness of men was great in the earth and that
00:12:44.796 --> 00:12:49.416
every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
00:12:49.836 --> 00:12:53.996
And he was sorry that he had made man on the earth and he was grieved at his
00:12:53.996 --> 00:13:00.736
heart. So he says, the wickedness had become great. Degenerate.
00:13:01.856 --> 00:13:04.816
Degenerate, yeah. And the thoughts of people were so powerful.
00:13:05.946 --> 00:13:11.746
Impure. Lost. Dirty, lost. Intent of thoughts, only evil.
00:13:12.206 --> 00:13:15.266
All people thought about was what was evil.
00:13:15.486 --> 00:13:19.946
Well, they were all taken up. They were deceived. I mean, nothing good in their
00:13:19.946 --> 00:13:22.746
thoughts at all. Yeah. Just evil continually.
00:13:23.306 --> 00:13:29.506
And then. So he only had Noah left. So that's where he used Noah to start the whole thing over again.
00:13:30.006 --> 00:13:33.986
Right. And God said, verse 13 of Genesis 6, and God said to Noah,
00:13:34.566 --> 00:13:38.826
the end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with what?
00:13:39.646 --> 00:13:46.406
Violence through them, through human beings. And behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
00:13:46.526 --> 00:13:49.226
Well, I think the interesting and different thing about this is,
00:13:49.286 --> 00:13:51.986
and we can go with all that and say this is happening again,
00:13:51.986 --> 00:13:55.546
and it is, but there's a little bit of a different twist this time.
00:13:55.846 --> 00:14:00.486
The first time with Noah, there hadn't been Jesus and the cross and the gospel,
00:14:00.786 --> 00:14:06.846
and the gospel of grace and good news. But that has been established since then,
00:14:07.026 --> 00:14:09.006
you know, when Jesus came.
00:14:09.226 --> 00:14:15.966
And so there's a resistance to the inexpressible wickedness. There is a resistance.
00:14:16.166 --> 00:14:20.286
There's a godly resistance that's coming through the people of God who've been
00:14:20.286 --> 00:14:24.326
called to the cross, to repentance, to stand and having done all to stand.
00:14:24.446 --> 00:14:28.286
So we're not just saying there is no hope and everything's lost and everybody's horrible.
00:14:28.966 --> 00:14:32.746
We're going to say there is that. There is that, and there is that element of
00:14:32.746 --> 00:14:39.766
people who have been kind of like grown up again under the nurturing of Satan
00:14:39.766 --> 00:14:47.646
to create another element of pure evil and hostility in the midst of godly people,
00:14:47.786 --> 00:14:50.706
in the midst of godly righteousness and the work of the kingdom.
00:14:50.706 --> 00:14:56.826
So Satan has tried to create his counter forces to go against the grace and
00:14:56.826 --> 00:14:59.806
the goodness and the power and the word and the Holy Spirit,
00:15:00.086 --> 00:15:01.406
the power of Jesus Christ.
00:15:01.546 --> 00:15:05.466
So now we have a little bit different story. With Noah, there was no resistance.
00:15:05.926 --> 00:15:10.846
This time, there is a resistance. However, there's some similarities with Noah and Lot.
00:15:11.566 --> 00:15:16.566
The people, they were given to the deeds and the demands of the day.
00:15:16.566 --> 00:15:19.846
So they were eating and drinking and marrying and giving in marriage and going
00:15:19.846 --> 00:15:23.806
to weddings and building houses and, you know, making money and saying,
00:15:23.946 --> 00:15:26.926
well, this is going to sustain us. This is sustainable.
00:15:27.106 --> 00:15:29.846
Nothing is going to change. We're good. Nothing's going to change.
00:15:30.826 --> 00:15:37.826
So, but that is a big treacherous deception that is trying to undermine even the people of God.
00:15:37.966 --> 00:15:41.246
Because, you know, we get weary sometimes. Well, let's not admit it, but we do.
00:15:41.726 --> 00:15:45.206
And we have to take hold, a hold of eternal life, use the words of God that
00:15:45.206 --> 00:15:49.786
he puts in our mouth to, you know, understand that there's a sure word of prophecy,
00:15:50.006 --> 00:15:51.106
that the word of God is true.
00:15:51.726 --> 00:15:55.146
Speaking to ourselves in Psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, making melody in our
00:15:55.146 --> 00:15:59.346
heart, talking to God, declaring, staying focused, staying alert,
00:15:59.586 --> 00:16:03.886
and staying in the place where we're in reality,
00:16:04.235 --> 00:16:07.295
in the revelation of Jesus Christ, because he has got a plan,
00:16:07.395 --> 00:16:08.655
and he's got a plan for us specifically.
00:16:10.355 --> 00:16:16.555
We don't realize this degeneration that took effect in Eden,
00:16:16.555 --> 00:16:21.495
when Satan, the serpent, seduced Eve, deceived her, enchanted her,
00:16:21.995 --> 00:16:25.255
hypnotized her, mesmerized her, made her think that that fruit looked good,
00:16:25.255 --> 00:16:29.915
and she had no clue that she was being mesmerized, enchanted.
00:16:30.075 --> 00:16:34.895
And today, and even since then, the enchantments of the evil one that works
00:16:34.895 --> 00:16:37.535
through drugs and pharmakia and root cuttings and all this stuff,
00:16:37.795 --> 00:16:44.055
the enchantments have taken over the minds and put most human beings in a place of stupor.
00:16:44.215 --> 00:16:49.635
And the only way they come out of the stupor basically is through a wake-up
00:16:49.635 --> 00:16:51.755
call. And usually the wake-up call is shocking.
00:16:52.835 --> 00:16:56.515
It's demanding, it's intense, and you can't escape it.
00:16:56.575 --> 00:17:00.275
You've got to do something about it. And this is actually when our lives begin
00:17:00.275 --> 00:17:05.455
to fall apart sometimes, and God is using that to get us to call upon him to
00:17:05.455 --> 00:17:08.075
wake up out of the stupor.
00:17:08.215 --> 00:17:11.275
How does he say that in, I don't know, in Romans?
00:17:11.815 --> 00:17:17.835
Romans 13, 11, he says it's time to awake out of sleep, for now is our salvation
00:17:17.835 --> 00:17:19.975
nearer than when we first believed.
00:17:20.455 --> 00:17:25.495
Knowing the time, he says, in this, Romans 13, 11.
00:17:26.175 --> 00:17:32.895
We'll read through verse 14, And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high
00:17:32.895 --> 00:17:38.775
time to awake out of sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
00:17:39.095 --> 00:17:44.555
The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore, let us cast off the works of darkness.
00:17:44.955 --> 00:17:49.455
Let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the day,
00:17:49.895 --> 00:17:54.655
not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, but in the day.
00:17:55.116 --> 00:18:00.516
Not in strife and envy, but put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision
00:18:00.516 --> 00:18:02.956
for the flesh to fulfill its lusts.
00:18:02.976 --> 00:18:04.536
And in Ephesians chapter 5,
00:18:04.656 --> 00:18:09.516
starting with verse 6, he says, Let no one deceive you with empty words.
00:18:09.796 --> 00:18:14.176
For because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
00:18:14.296 --> 00:18:16.996
Therefore, do not be partakers with them.
00:18:17.256 --> 00:18:21.996
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.
00:18:22.236 --> 00:18:27.016
Walk as children of the light. for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness,
00:18:27.196 --> 00:18:30.836
righteousness, and truth, proving what is acceptable to the Lord,
00:18:31.036 --> 00:18:34.036
and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
00:18:34.236 --> 00:18:36.456
but rather expose them. I think this is part of the problem.
00:18:36.756 --> 00:18:41.856
We kind of tangle with them. We kind of entertain them. We kind of draw these things into our homes.
00:18:41.856 --> 00:18:49.956
We participate with and seek after, pursue the things that look like they will
00:18:49.956 --> 00:18:54.056
give us a momentary way of escape or a reprieve.
00:18:54.156 --> 00:18:57.956
But he says, have no fellowship with the unfruitful. You can't play with this.
00:18:58.036 --> 00:19:01.576
You can't bring little serpents and snakes into your house and not expect them
00:19:01.576 --> 00:19:02.936
eventually to grow up and bite you.
00:19:03.576 --> 00:19:07.636
Reprove them, he says, expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those
00:19:07.636 --> 00:19:10.556
things which are done by them in secret. Now, this is true.
00:19:10.856 --> 00:19:14.916
The things they do in secret are so horrible, so unspeakable,
00:19:15.036 --> 00:19:18.536
that it's almost defiling to even talk about them.
00:19:18.796 --> 00:19:25.016
That's how bad they are. But he says, but all things that expose that are exposed
00:19:25.016 --> 00:19:27.116
are made manifest by the light.
00:19:27.416 --> 00:19:31.036
For whatever makes manifest is the light. Jesus is the light of the world.
00:19:31.156 --> 00:19:36.716
Therefore, he says, awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead,
00:19:37.056 --> 00:19:38.096
and Christ will give you light.
00:19:38.156 --> 00:19:43.356
You know, people who die in fires most of the time are sleeping in their houses.
00:19:43.836 --> 00:19:47.736
And because they don't wake up in time, and once they do wake up,
00:19:47.736 --> 00:19:52.216
if they do, there's too much smoke inhalation or they can't get out.
00:19:52.216 --> 00:19:57.956
So he's saying the fire is coming don't fall asleep in your house awake you
00:19:57.956 --> 00:20:01.396
are awake it's you still have time to wake up you don't have to go down with
00:20:01.396 --> 00:20:03.176
the wicked you know you can be.
00:20:03.916 --> 00:20:08.356
100 fruitful for god you don't have to be a oh well this is good enough get
00:20:08.356 --> 00:20:13.796
up get going take a hold of your life thank god for it and cast off the hidden
00:20:13.796 --> 00:20:17.656
works of darkness he says awake you who are asleep arise from the dead so we're
00:20:17.656 --> 00:20:19.896
our dead works and christ will give you light see,
00:20:20.516 --> 00:20:23.316
see then that you walk circumspectly not as
00:20:23.316 --> 00:20:28.096
fools fools say oh it's never going to happen oh we're fine oh let's just do
00:20:28.096 --> 00:20:31.316
what we want to eat drink and be merry oh it's okay you know we don't have to
00:20:31.316 --> 00:20:34.876
be careful we don't have to be watchful you know God's really not coming back
00:20:34.876 --> 00:20:41.276
look it's been almost two he said this two thousand years ago haha okay so he says but not only wake.
00:20:41.982 --> 00:20:45.522
But redeem the time because the days are evil. You only have a certain amount.
00:20:45.642 --> 00:20:49.502
I only have a certain amount of allotted number of minutes, hours,
00:20:49.802 --> 00:20:53.182
days that are given to us. And everybody's a little different.
00:20:53.482 --> 00:20:56.102
And the question is, what are you going to do with those minutes,
00:20:56.422 --> 00:20:58.742
hours, days, seconds that God has given you?
00:20:59.442 --> 00:21:03.002
You're going to have to give account for every one because that's a gift of
00:21:03.002 --> 00:21:03.922
life that God has given you.
00:21:04.022 --> 00:21:07.662
Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
00:21:07.662 --> 00:21:11.942
And do not be drunk with wine or try to check out or get medicated,
00:21:12.182 --> 00:21:17.082
but pay attention, you know, walk in the Holy Spirit, speaking to one another,
00:21:17.322 --> 00:21:20.662
stay strong in the Lord, encourage one another, this sort of thing.
00:21:20.902 --> 00:21:25.422
Do not fear and do not faint because the whole world is full of, you know,
00:21:26.102 --> 00:21:32.142
the whole world Satan has tried to wrap us up in his bundle of fun and foolishness
00:21:32.142 --> 00:21:37.682
and folly and fantasies and fables to distract us,
00:21:38.182 --> 00:21:42.362
hoping that we're little children and we'll never come out of this stupor and
00:21:42.362 --> 00:21:45.102
we'll just stay stupid until he can set the house on fire.
00:21:45.222 --> 00:21:50.722
And everything in this world system is gauged to put us into a stupor.
00:21:50.922 --> 00:21:56.282
Yep, in this world. In this world to distract us, to put us to sleep,
00:21:56.802 --> 00:21:58.902
to turn our attention away from
00:21:58.902 --> 00:22:03.162
the Lord and his calling and his purpose and who we really are in him.
00:22:03.742 --> 00:22:08.342
That's what it is. And so there has to be a revelation.
00:22:08.642 --> 00:22:13.502
There has to be a way. A revelation means something that was,
00:22:13.622 --> 00:22:18.022
it was there all along, but you just haven't seen it, right? Right.
00:22:18.721 --> 00:22:22.901
I just think of the prodigal son when he was finally in the pig pen.
00:22:23.841 --> 00:22:28.701
He wanted to eat what the pigs wouldn't eat.
00:22:29.121 --> 00:22:33.041
And he woke up and he says, what? Basically he's saying, what am I doing here?
00:22:33.981 --> 00:22:37.461
I could go to my father's house and I would have plenty.
00:22:37.901 --> 00:22:41.401
And he says, I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to arise.
00:22:41.401 --> 00:22:44.241
I'm going to go to my father and say, Father, I have sinned.
00:22:44.401 --> 00:22:45.661
Make me as one of your servants.
00:22:45.981 --> 00:22:49.721
He had a wake-up call. And it takes a wake-up call.
00:22:49.861 --> 00:22:55.541
The only way you get a wake-up call is through truth that's empowered by the
00:22:55.541 --> 00:23:05.401
Holy Spirit that breaks through that crust of stupor and unbelief and fear and distraction,
00:23:06.061 --> 00:23:09.141
being mesmerized, enchanted, under a spell.
00:23:09.341 --> 00:23:15.001
It's like some of these old fairy tales that the wicked witch puts somebody
00:23:15.001 --> 00:23:19.141
under a spell and someone has to come along and break the spell.
00:23:19.281 --> 00:23:25.841
The only one who can break the spell is Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. Isn't that the truth?
00:23:26.081 --> 00:23:31.441
You know, the sleeping beauties and all these things, the princess to come and wake her up.
00:23:32.561 --> 00:23:37.521
This is actually not far from the truth. Not far from, actually,
00:23:37.861 --> 00:23:41.041
it's been told in a parable, but it's the truth in people.
00:23:41.661 --> 00:23:48.601
But Jesus gave us some signs to look for along the way. Some very scary signs, actually.
00:23:49.101 --> 00:23:52.701
I'm in Daniel 8, 23. Let's look there for a minute.
00:23:53.021 --> 00:23:56.741
Well, it says in the, I'm, yeah, I'll start with 23.
00:23:57.041 --> 00:24:01.681
In the latter times of their kingdoms, when the transgressors have reached their
00:24:01.681 --> 00:24:08.881
fullness, a king will arise having fierce features, who understands sinister schemes. Hmm. Hmm.
00:24:09.305 --> 00:24:12.785
His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. In other words,
00:24:12.865 --> 00:24:14.225
he's going to get his power from the devil.
00:24:14.585 --> 00:24:17.905
And he will destroy fearfully or extraordinarily.
00:24:18.265 --> 00:24:24.265
He will have no fear. He will have a hardened heart, cold, and shall prosper
00:24:24.265 --> 00:24:26.145
and thrive. He's going to get by with it.
00:24:26.365 --> 00:24:29.945
And he shall destroy the mighty and also the holy people.
00:24:30.065 --> 00:24:33.405
This might refer to, this is in Daniel, might refer to the Jews.
00:24:33.405 --> 00:24:36.505
I'm not sure if it's all holy people or just them. I'm not sure.
00:24:37.225 --> 00:24:41.985
Through his cunning, he will cause deceit to prosper under his hand.
00:24:42.465 --> 00:24:47.185
While people are stupid and stupid and sleeping and slothful and drunk and full
00:24:47.185 --> 00:24:51.545
of their own lusts and pleasures, they're not going to take any notice of the
00:24:51.545 --> 00:24:52.825
thief coming to the door.
00:24:52.905 --> 00:24:56.525
As a matter of fact, that is exactly how these bigger kingdoms,
00:24:56.765 --> 00:25:00.705
like, for example, Babylon, you remember the night that they were all drinking
00:25:00.705 --> 00:25:04.125
out of the goblets, the golden... Belshazzar.
00:25:04.305 --> 00:25:07.185
Yeah, they came from the temple, and they were all, you know,
00:25:07.285 --> 00:25:09.685
mocking God and drinking out of his sacred vessels.
00:25:09.925 --> 00:25:11.945
And they were having this big wine party.
00:25:12.465 --> 00:25:15.985
And as they were having their wine party, eating, drinking, and being merry,
00:25:16.165 --> 00:25:20.805
and whatever else they do in these orgies, the enemy, the Persians,
00:25:20.945 --> 00:25:22.945
were sneaking around in the dark.
00:25:23.125 --> 00:25:26.405
They were right there. They were right there. Right outside the door.
00:25:26.465 --> 00:25:31.005
And this, you know, I have to understand with Babylon, the place was very fortified.
00:25:31.065 --> 00:25:34.805
It had a big, wide, you know, moat around it. It was, you know.
00:25:35.325 --> 00:25:38.205
Lots of fortification. The walls were very thick.
00:25:38.485 --> 00:25:42.905
They had soldiers everywhere, blah, blah, blah. But while they were all in their
00:25:42.905 --> 00:25:46.985
stupor, drunken in their silliness, the army snuck in.
00:25:47.125 --> 00:25:50.705
And by the way, so God warns him about 10 seconds before it happens.
00:25:50.805 --> 00:25:53.165
He writes on the wall. He says, hey, your kingdom's done.
00:25:53.425 --> 00:25:56.805
And then Daniel comes and says, yep, that's what it says. Your kingdom's done.
00:25:57.145 --> 00:26:01.145
And within the night, before that night. That very night. Yeah.
00:26:01.662 --> 00:26:08.682
The Persians busted in and killed Belshazzar. I think that's who it was, the king at the time.
00:26:08.942 --> 00:26:12.862
And they took the king over. And that was the end of Babylon.
00:26:13.162 --> 00:26:16.402
While they were drugged, while they were sleeping. Yeah.
00:26:16.862 --> 00:26:21.522
And this is, you know, so God uses this. He warns us. This is how this happens.
00:26:21.702 --> 00:26:24.102
It happens in the natural. It happens in the spiritual.
00:26:24.402 --> 00:26:29.102
And so he says, through his cunning, he shall cause deceit to prosper under his hands.
00:26:29.202 --> 00:26:33.702
So people are going to want to be deceived. If you want to be deceived, you will be deceived.
00:26:33.922 --> 00:26:36.642
If you don't want to be deceived, then rebuke the lie and say,
00:26:36.702 --> 00:26:40.002
Lord, give me your truth, and you won't be deceived. It's your choice.
00:26:40.402 --> 00:26:42.182
You know, somebody, oh, just let me alone.
00:26:43.022 --> 00:26:46.102
It's fine. It's what's called willful ignorance. Yeah.
00:26:46.422 --> 00:26:48.882
It's just, I don't want to know. It is what it is, and it's,
00:26:49.042 --> 00:26:53.402
you know, nothing's going to change. Don't confuse me. Or I can't do anything about it.
00:26:53.742 --> 00:26:57.902
Don't confuse me with the truth. You know, you have a life, and you are going
00:26:57.902 --> 00:27:01.322
to have a given account of your very life before the Most High God someday,
00:27:01.322 --> 00:27:04.982
and nobody else is going to stand up there and make an excuse for you and say,
00:27:05.122 --> 00:27:07.842
oh, let her in or endorse you or anything.
00:27:08.022 --> 00:27:11.822
You're going to have to give an explanation for what you did.
00:27:11.982 --> 00:27:15.102
And it's already written down in the books.
00:27:15.362 --> 00:27:18.222
You are writing a book about your life. There's the Lamb's Book of Life,
00:27:18.222 --> 00:27:19.622
and then there's the books we're writing.
00:27:19.982 --> 00:27:24.142
And all the stuff in our books, if it's not been forgiven, if it's not been
00:27:24.142 --> 00:27:28.542
confessed and repented, it will still be there as an indictment against us.
00:27:28.542 --> 00:27:33.442
Here's what Jesus said to his disciples regarding his coming and his kingdom.
00:27:33.802 --> 00:27:38.822
Luke 21, 34 through 36, he said, but take heed to yourselves,
00:27:38.822 --> 00:27:43.782
lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing. Yep.
00:27:44.612 --> 00:27:51.292
Drunkenness and the cares of this life that the day of the Lord the day of his
00:27:51.292 --> 00:27:54.592
return come upon you unexpectedly for,
00:27:55.292 --> 00:28:13.032
do not
00:28:13.032 --> 00:28:15.372
understand how, involved,
00:28:16.012 --> 00:28:21.492
and how, I don't know, whether even the word be enmeshed, or how evil has woven
00:28:21.492 --> 00:28:27.112
itself into the fabric of human existence, the snake pit, the deceptions, treachery,
00:28:27.532 --> 00:28:31.912
the fascinations, the enchantments, the lies, the witchcraft,
00:28:32.012 --> 00:28:33.252
the drugs, the medications.
00:28:34.032 --> 00:28:38.672
The folly committed against our food, against our minds. It's amazing.
00:28:39.092 --> 00:28:43.192
The only way that we can stay clear of all this and to walk through this is
00:28:43.192 --> 00:28:46.232
to stay anchored in the word of God and follow him.
00:28:46.412 --> 00:28:52.892
Because the deception is to believe we get all banged up and wound up in trying to survive.
00:28:53.572 --> 00:28:59.032
And survive what? And for what? We miss the whole point of surviving and overcoming
00:28:59.032 --> 00:29:02.972
because we're just trying to do the day kind of thing.
00:29:03.032 --> 00:29:07.572
Some people want to survive so they can keep doing the same things that they're already doing.
00:29:08.032 --> 00:29:13.512
Over and over again. But God says there is a reason, there is a purpose,
00:29:13.772 --> 00:29:16.812
there's a plot, there's a plan to all of this.
00:29:16.892 --> 00:29:20.712
And Daniel kind of concludes all that again in chapter 11 where he says,
00:29:20.892 --> 00:29:23.852
he's talking about in verse 1131.
00:29:25.005 --> 00:29:28.445
I'm sorry, let's do 32. You can read this. This is quite interesting.
00:29:28.885 --> 00:29:32.985
Those who do wickedly against the covenant, he shall corrupt with flattery.
00:29:33.305 --> 00:29:37.105
So against the covenant, the covenant of God, probably. But the people who know
00:29:37.105 --> 00:29:44.145
their God, so this man, this Antichrist, he's going to do wickedly against the covenant.
00:29:44.625 --> 00:29:47.805
Part of the covenant for the Jews is to the daily sacrifices,
00:29:47.805 --> 00:29:51.285
which they want to rebuild the temple and get back into the daily sacrifices,
00:29:51.285 --> 00:29:56.865
which basically also is probably a very sound and accurate sign of the return
00:29:56.865 --> 00:29:59.465
of Jesus Christ. They're going to rebuild that third temple.
00:29:59.945 --> 00:30:05.065
That's at least what many say. I believe it to be true, but you check it out yourself.
00:30:05.405 --> 00:30:08.525
Those who do wickedly against the covenant, he, the Antichrist,
00:30:08.585 --> 00:30:09.765
will corrupt with flattery.
00:30:09.965 --> 00:30:15.065
How many people of God have been deceived by fame, position,
00:30:15.385 --> 00:30:21.825
a bigger church, a bigger name, a more well-known ministry, flattery.
00:30:21.925 --> 00:30:25.065
They've been bribed. They've been blackmailed. they've been bullied,
00:30:25.185 --> 00:30:29.585
they've been bought, they've been paid by the enemy, and they don't even know it.
00:30:30.065 --> 00:30:33.805
Satan is a fisherman, and he's using the bait that they want,
00:30:33.885 --> 00:30:37.105
more of God, a bigger church, a bigger this, a bigger that.
00:30:37.505 --> 00:30:42.125
Not just them, but I mean, whatever you want, whatever you're hungry for,
00:30:42.525 --> 00:30:45.485
that's what Satan will use to bait the hook to try to catch you on the lie.
00:30:45.865 --> 00:30:48.005
And so the basic sweetness of
00:30:48.005 --> 00:30:51.645
the whole thing is don't be hungry for anything, just let Jesus feed you.
00:30:52.165 --> 00:30:55.145
Anyway, so they're they're going to be corrupted with flattery
00:30:55.145 --> 00:30:58.225
but the people but the people who know their god
00:30:58.225 --> 00:31:02.925
that would be the people who know the word who know the promises who know the
00:31:02.925 --> 00:31:06.485
goodness of god who know the power of the cross who know the power of the resurrection
00:31:06.485 --> 00:31:10.745
who know the power of being given authority their authority back to bind and
00:31:10.745 --> 00:31:14.445
loose and do the work of the kingdom the people have been restored to the truth
00:31:14.445 --> 00:31:16.605
the truth will set you free right and
00:31:17.038 --> 00:31:22.158
Those people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits.
00:31:22.378 --> 00:31:25.918
What does that mean? Well, that means they're going to take down wicked schemes
00:31:25.918 --> 00:31:27.998
and citadels. They're going to expose darkness.
00:31:28.178 --> 00:31:31.218
They're going to deliver people from demons. They're going to help people get
00:31:31.218 --> 00:31:34.758
set free from the strongholds that have held them hostage in their own lives.
00:31:35.058 --> 00:31:39.178
And those of the people who understand shall instruct many. Okay, that's good.
00:31:39.358 --> 00:31:44.438
They're going to teach people. They're going to bring truth again into the arena,
00:31:44.858 --> 00:31:49.698
at the city gates. and they will instruct many, yet for many days they shall
00:31:49.698 --> 00:31:52.118
fall by the sword, by flame, by captivity and plenary.
00:31:52.238 --> 00:31:57.158
So they're going to be picked on brutally, persecuted, tracked down.
00:31:57.718 --> 00:32:01.918
Tried to stop, killed, assassinated, all these kinds of things.
00:32:02.418 --> 00:32:06.438
Now when they fall, they shall be aided with a little help. This is to me always
00:32:06.438 --> 00:32:09.958
kind of a little bit of a kind of an interesting comment.
00:32:10.118 --> 00:32:12.838
So they're going to be aided with a little help. So a lot of times when I need
00:32:12.838 --> 00:32:16.078
help, I'll say to God, yep, you said they're going to be aided with a little
00:32:16.078 --> 00:32:19.778
help, but a little help from you is a lot of help, so help me. How about that?
00:32:20.258 --> 00:32:24.798
But many shall join them by intrigue. In other words, they're going to join
00:32:24.798 --> 00:32:26.198
their ranks by intrigue.
00:32:26.278 --> 00:32:29.598
They're going to get in as that fifth column when they sneak in behind the lines
00:32:29.598 --> 00:32:32.658
and they're spies and they pretend to be with you.
00:32:32.978 --> 00:32:36.138
And some of those who understand shall fall. We see that now.
00:32:36.318 --> 00:32:40.998
We see leaders, spiritual leaders, normal people who loved it,
00:32:40.998 --> 00:32:45.858
fall, to refine them, to purge them, and to make them white until the time of
00:32:45.858 --> 00:32:47.738
the end, because it is still for an appointed time.
00:32:47.958 --> 00:32:52.278
So there's a refining process going on even amongst the people who follow God.
00:32:52.798 --> 00:32:57.818
Yeah, and for those who follow Jesus, he said in Matthew 16,
00:32:58.038 --> 00:33:01.278
24 through 27, and Jesus said to his disciples,
00:33:01.518 --> 00:33:08.418
if anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
00:33:08.758 --> 00:33:10.918
For whoever desires to save his
00:33:10.918 --> 00:33:14.578
life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
00:33:15.283 --> 00:33:21.743
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?
00:33:21.923 --> 00:33:25.603
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
00:33:26.083 --> 00:33:31.583
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels,
00:33:31.603 --> 00:33:36.823
and then he will reward each according to his works.
00:33:36.943 --> 00:33:40.183
So what is the kingdom of God, what is eternal life worth to you?
00:33:41.043 --> 00:33:45.883
What are you willing to put in, invest in it?
00:33:46.663 --> 00:33:50.063
Jesus invested everything so that we could have a chance.
00:33:50.263 --> 00:33:54.063
And he says here, as you just read, anyone who desires to come after me,
00:33:54.123 --> 00:33:55.223
it's not going to be easy.
00:33:55.663 --> 00:33:57.783
There's going to be intrigue. There's going to be assault. There's going to
00:33:57.783 --> 00:34:00.863
be accusations. There's going to be flattery. There's going to be upsets.
00:34:01.023 --> 00:34:05.683
There's going to be crazy turns in the road. There's going to be spiritual attacks against us.
00:34:06.003 --> 00:34:10.563
Let him deny himself. Which does that mean? And that means you're not going to pursue your own plan.
00:34:11.483 --> 00:34:15.383
It's his plan. Yeah, and most of us, our problem is self.
00:34:15.623 --> 00:34:19.203
We're listening to a first-person impersonator of ourselves.
00:34:19.403 --> 00:34:22.363
We're letting him lead us and guide us, and he's a demon.
00:34:22.843 --> 00:34:27.083
And so we know that whoever desires to save his life will lose it.
00:34:27.183 --> 00:34:30.903
So in giving your life to Jesus Christ, you've actually kept it.
00:34:31.023 --> 00:34:34.063
You've actually protected it. And so we thank you, Father God,
00:34:34.183 --> 00:34:40.823
today for giving great courage to those of us who are here in these last days,
00:34:41.123 --> 00:34:44.643
even as you said, even as you promised and prophesied, Lord Jesus,
00:34:44.823 --> 00:34:46.263
we trust and believe every word.
00:34:47.723 --> 00:34:54.603
Every comma, every pause, every exclamation point, everything you said is going to be fulfilled.
00:34:54.743 --> 00:34:59.643
So Father God, I pray that you encourage the listeners today to lay down the lies,
00:34:59.923 --> 00:35:05.823
be delivered from the lies, and be set free and brought into the fullness of
00:35:05.823 --> 00:35:10.243
confidence, peace, purity, truth, holiness, and the love of God.
00:35:10.563 --> 00:35:15.023
Thank you, Jesus, that your will be done even in these days and hours before
00:35:15.023 --> 00:35:17.063
we wait to see what the Lord God will do.
00:35:17.163 --> 00:35:20.963
I believe God is going to do great and mighty things yet upon this earth,
00:35:21.003 --> 00:35:27.123
because I do believe he has one more thing he has to do, and that is bring in the final harvest.
00:35:27.363 --> 00:35:30.463
And so we praise you, God. We give you glory for doing that,
00:35:30.483 --> 00:35:34.663
and we want to be part of that, Father, in Jesus' name. Yes,
00:35:34.823 --> 00:35:39.243
and being able to be part of that, we have to be fully equipped.
00:35:39.523 --> 00:35:44.323
And I was reading a book that you recently wrote. Oh, sweet.
00:35:45.343 --> 00:35:50.163
Spiritual Warfare and How Deliverance Can Change Your Life. And in there, you have a lot of...
00:35:50.581 --> 00:35:56.221
Step-by-step instructions based on years and years of experience,
00:35:56.441 --> 00:36:01.801
based on the Word of God and the ministry of Jesus as to how to help set people
00:36:01.801 --> 00:36:06.461
free from the powers of darkness and to bring healing deep within their hearts.
00:36:06.661 --> 00:36:10.601
Yeah, you're reading that. I'm excited about that.
00:36:11.681 --> 00:36:17.341
I'm saying this because everybody possible should be able to read that.
00:36:17.461 --> 00:36:22.261
Yeah, I know. And God said, it's a really, it's an equipping book to really
00:36:22.261 --> 00:36:24.421
help us not just to say, oh, that's nice.
00:36:24.541 --> 00:36:26.641
Yeah, I agree with that. Or I disagree with that.
00:36:26.821 --> 00:36:34.121
But it's something that it gives you the instructions based not on theory or
00:36:34.121 --> 00:36:36.241
anything like that. Oh, this is a good idea.
00:36:36.641 --> 00:36:43.701
This is practical ministry steps that you've brought in. These are, yeah.
00:36:44.121 --> 00:36:47.341
Years and years of experience. These are revelations that were born in the fire.
00:36:48.521 --> 00:36:53.801
They're hammered out in the fire of people's lives and stories and deliverances
00:36:53.801 --> 00:36:55.281
and generational curses.
00:36:55.701 --> 00:36:58.881
It's all been forged in the fire, and it's strong.
00:36:59.241 --> 00:37:04.861
This is not a fluff book. No fluff in this book. No waste of words in this book.
00:37:05.361 --> 00:37:09.501
And so, yeah, I would encourage you. The Lord told me, too, that if you read
00:37:09.501 --> 00:37:12.201
this book, you yourself, whoever reads it, will be delivered.
00:37:12.841 --> 00:37:17.661
And I believe that's true. And I see a lot of people who are also passing the
00:37:17.661 --> 00:37:21.921
book on or getting a copy for their friends and leaving.
00:37:22.501 --> 00:37:25.601
It's feeding people because people are so hungry for the truth.
00:37:25.761 --> 00:37:26.881
How can they get the book?
00:37:27.141 --> 00:37:31.761
Well, it's as easy as going to Amazon.com and saying, Spiritual Warfare and
00:37:31.761 --> 00:37:34.841
