"Caught In The Web"Rescue Radio with Marjorie Cole

0:00 Music. Rescue Radio, because there's a war for your soul. Father God, we thank you that the war has been won. We thank you, your kingdom come, Lord God. Even though things down here are intensifying, Lord, you're totally aware of what's going on, and you're bringing all these things to a position, a place of culmination.

0:42 So we rejoice in you, we thank you, and we thank you for your safety and covering and protection over all of your people. We thank you, Lord God, that Jesus Christ did your will, rescued us from the grip of the terrible one and is rescuing our children from the grip of the terrible one. We thank you, Jesus, that you completed the work. You finished it. You finished the demands made by the law and death, and you died in our place. So our lives were given in exchange, a hostage exchange for your blood. Thank you, Jesus, for doing that. Thank you for guiding us now by your Spirit. Thank you for helping us understand the dynamics of this incredible spiritual war that we're in, Father God, and the powers that the enemy has used to catch us in the web.

1:25 And Lord, I pray for divine protection that everything that has to do with this program, its airing, its translation, its whatever, would be covered with the blood of Jesus Christ. And so would we for having taken another shot at the devil. Lord God, I pray that you protect us, Father, in Jesus' name. Amen. So today we're going to be talking about caught in the web. And you know, it's interesting, we have those words like web and net and all those things, and we think that it has to do with the internet, it has to do with international global communications. It has to do with witches and witchcraft and the other power source. So today we're going to talk about the other power source. But before we do that, we're going to read a little verse in 2 2 Timothy 2, verses 24, 25, 26.

2:17 Well, the Bible talks about here correcting those who are in opposition to themselves. Well, if we read the whole verse, of course, it says, this is a gem. In opposition to themselves. Isn't that an interesting statement? But that is not in the New King James. I don't know if it's in the NIV, but it's only in the Old King James. So, here, let's just read the whole verse. It says, And the servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but be gentle to all, apt to teach or able to teach, patient, in humility, correcting those who are in opposition. Now fill in those next three in correcting those who are in opposition to themselves would be the old King James. If God perhaps will grant them repentance so that they may know the truth and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. So there is a snare.

3:09 The devil has set webs, nets, snares, traps, cages to catch us. Even Ezekiel talks about the charms sewn on the sleeves of the false prophetesses to catch the souls of men. So this is a real thing. And so the snares, the webs, whatever. And so now let's go back for a minute and look at how this got started, what we're really talking about here and dealing with. So there are only two kingdoms. There are only two power sources in the world. There are only two power sources. One is God and one is the devil. God, however, has given us a free will to choose which power source, which power company we're going to hook up with, plug into or submit to.

3:53 So it's kind of like who, you know, if you're going to use God's strength, God's power, you're going to get God's results and God's favor. If you go in the enemy's camp and decide to do it yourself, which is basically what that second power says. Satan wants you to think that he's giving you power, that you've got power, you can make your own decisions, you've got a free will, you can do what you want to do, and nobody can tell you what to do. So both, even though we think, we're not going to say, well, yeah, I'm going to go to the devil and get power from him. Actually, though some people do now, they like that witchcraft thing, they like all that magic and spells and all that incantation and that control. Over other people. So yes, there are some that are actually practicing deliberately going to the devil for power.

4:34 But the ultimate truth is that we have a free will and we can yield to God or Satan. And when you vote with God, then you vote with freedom. When you vote with fear of the devil, then you vote with bondage and slavery. And so, you know, we choose to reject, when you choose to reject God's will and do things without him, exclude him in our lives. And our decisions, we have, we've actually exercised our free will to give strength to the evil one. Well, really, it's something. Why would people go to a AAA battery when they can have a super generator?

5:16 So what I'm saying, it shows the blindness in our world that people think we have to go into the dark side to find power. Again, yeah. Why is that? Well, it's because of treachery, trickery, deception, a smoke and mirrors. The devil is nothing but a lot of smoke and mirrors, but most people don't see that. They think he's terrifying and real. And he is terrifying and real, but you still have more power. So let's go back to the power sources for a minute. So the devil was not given any power or authority or permission or kingdom by God. He took one. He took the one God had given to Adam and Eve, to us, to mankind. So the devil grabbed, usurped our power, our authority, paradise, if you will, because God had given Adam and Eve the jurisdiction.

6:03 The authority to run the earth, absolutely. And when they were deceived, and how they were deceived, they were deceived through the enchantments of the beauty of the forbidden tree. And they ate the fruit and became slaves of the serpent, which is now we know him as the dragon. So the first thing the devil did was to set up the enchantments. And let me just talk about that for a minute. If you look at the book of Enoch, the first thing that these fallen angels did besides take human wives, which, of course, the Bible talks about, Genesis 6.1, talks about that. But in Enoch 6, it also talks about how Semjeza and some of the fallen angels who took wives, the first thing they did was, was to set up the enchantments. What in the world? And connect it with the root cuttings. What? Why?

6:55 I mean, obviously, Satan has a reason for doing what he does. If he can enchant the people, seduce the people, and that's actually why Eve took from that apple, that tree wasn't an apple, sorry, because she saw that it was beautiful. It was beautiful. It was alluring. She was lured to the beauty. So enchantments are something that pulls you and lures you to some beautiful, magical thing. So what it is then when we're allured to something or attracted to something beautiful. Does it show, Marjorie, that we're operating then according to our soul instead of our spirit? Well, we like beautiful things. We're made by God. We like good things, beautiful things, pretty things.

7:37 But the word enchantment actually means when he taught the enchantments and the root cuttings that goes with it. That root cuttings is drugs and pharmakia. It's teaching them how to do drugs to stay enchanted or to enhance the enchantments by psychedelic spiritual powers. And what drugs do is they take you out of truth and reality and throw you into another world. And that's where a lot of people like to live. So it's a feeling of great pleasure, delight, full of magic, witchcraft, sorcery, takes us away from the misery and the failure of living in this fallen world. So the state of being enchanted is being under a spell. It can be wizardry. It can be hypnotism, incantations, occultism, voodoo, black arts, magic, spells, charms.

8:23 Ouija boards. Temptations. So the definition is seeking or seeking comfort or seeking a false great pleasure or attraction. So the thing Satan is using, like the fisherman uses the shiny hook, the shiny little thing on the hook to lure. Yeah, to lure the fish. And so the fish is basically deceived, enchanted by the shiny, shimmering, beautiful thing. So we're attracted to something that is beautiful, pleasurable. There's nothing wrong with beauty. There's nothing wrong with wanting beautiful things. But the thing is, these things are seducing us. They're charming us. They're captivating us. And actually, in Ezekiel, the Lord talks about those very things called charms.

9:04 He says the power and ability of something to bring delight or arouse admiration. Charm braces. People who wear charms. People who trust in charms. Crystals. Yeah, and wear things for good luck and whatnot. To its charm means to delight greatly, to cause people to delight, to win them over, to appeal, to attract, to captivate, to allure, to lure, to draw, to dazzle, fascinate, bewitch, beguile. Enchant, enthrall, enrapture, enamor, seduce, ravish, hypnotize, mesmerize, spellbind, transfix, rivet, grip, and rapture. So charms are what Satan is using in charming us, like you charm a snake or something.

9:48 He's charming us into the web, into falling into captivity because of our disquieted state. We don't like living in this fallen world, and so we want something better, so we're easily deceived. But when we look, again, because we don't know the truth of what's really going on, and we don't recognize the danger we're in. We're like little children in this forest full of wolves and dragons and it's an enchanted forest. But we're like little people that just don't, we're just lost in this enchanted forest of life and we want to give people direction on how to get out of it.

10:32 So every time we're deceived or choose to believe a lie, we get more bound in the web. We get more bound in making that agreement, giving that consent to the power source of the enemy who has actually gotten his power by stealing our power. That's exactly it, because it was the lie, you know, hath God said to Eve? Is this what God really said? And he's basically, she embraced the lie rather than the truth. By doubting God's goodness, yeah. That opened up the human race to the power of Satan. Deception. To Satan, because we give him his power. That's right.

11:16 Because without, I mean, he had no power but to worship the Lord, but he fell. He was kicked out of heaven. And so, basically, he gets his power. Through our cooperation, right? We give him, we vote. We vote, and our vote then gives him power. We vote with the devil. We vote with fear. We vote with control. I'll do it myself. See, the basic lie behind witchcraft is, it's up to me. I've got to do it myself. I do it. I did it my way. Well, yeah, because why? Because everything is rebellion. We're rebelling against God's way or God's truth. And it says in the Bible, rebellion is as a sin of witchcraft.

11:58 And stubbornness and stiffness of neck, refusing to be thankful, refusing to acknowledge God as God, taking matters into our own hands. That's exactly what they did when God says, have no other gods before me. Don't worship idols, sticks, and stones. When you start worshiping other things, the power behind the other things are the illusions and the seductions that we have given it to do those things that turn us away from God. It gives our power, our agreement, our authority, our free will, over to the devil. So the lie behind witchcraft, the fear, the lie that fear is telling us is, it's up to me. My life is my own. I can do what I want. I can run it the way I want to. It's my decision.

12:41 I've got to do it. I'm on my own. All of these kinds of things isolate us from the love of God, the comfort of God, and now we're thrown out into the snake pit where we have to fend for ourselves. So often we think of witchcraft as be some cult or coven or some weird... This demonic group of people that are involved with all kinds of dark arts and so forth. But that's part of it. That's the end of it. But it's part of witchcraft. At the beginning, it doesn't look like that. In the beginning, it looks like beauty. It's like, I want to do it my way, and I want some power here. And that's really how it starts. But we don't think of that as witchcraft.

13:22 We think of that as, you know, rugged individualism or being just, you know, independent and nobody's going to tell me what to do and I'm going to make my way. And if I desire, if I want to succeed badly enough, I can do it. I can do it on my own, pull myself up my own bootstraps. Yeah. Well, Paul said it this way, that we are in the days, and he says, the days are coming when they will not endure sound doctrine according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap for themselves teachers, they will turn their ears away from the truth, turn aside to fables, exactly what we're doing, and people will be insubordinate, idle talkers, deceivers.

14:04 And then he says, don't give hue to these fables, the commandments of men professing to know God, but in works they deny him. Avoid such men, avoid foolish disputes, contentions, strivings about the law. All of these things have been only set up and stirred up by the enemy in the snake pit to create confusion and incite a riot, a rebellion against God. And so Paul says, follow me, follow my doctrine, the manner of life. But the people are really confused because now there's so many counterfeit religions out there that you don't even know which is which. So we've got to go back to the solidity of knowing I have power. God has given me the power, the free will to say no.

14:45 God has given me the power to say, who is going to dwell in my house and who's not? Are you going to let the impersonator, the liars, the deceivers dwell in your house, the squatters who are controlling your mind and freaking you out and causing you to be anxious and panicky and afraid and follow their web, They're webbing you. They're binding you into those agreements to constrict you more and more, isolate you more and more, cause you to have less and less freedom, even over your foods that you can eat because now I'm allergic to this and I can't eat that and I can't go outside because I get asthma and you can't breathe, you can't sleep, you can't eat. These are the webs that Satan is binding people in and it's because we don't realize even the structure of the system that there is power.

15:30 We have been given power to say no, but now at a point you're saying, I've said no. I've said no to drugs. I've said no to meth. I've said no to, you know, this, whatever it is. I said no, and now it's not listening to you anymore. Paul says in Romans 7, verse 17 and 20, if I'm doing what I do not want to do, it's not me doing it. It is the sin that dwells within me. You're losing the ability to say no to that cigarette or to say no to that lustful, sexual, immoral woman. You're losing your power to say no to it. You're losing your power to say no to fear because you don't realize you had power and you gave it away. And now we've got to take it back because we've got to understand that I still have the right.

16:11 God has not taken my power away from me. I have given it to the enemy, which empowers him. So the devil has no power in the beginning except the power we give him. And here's the interesting piece. the devil. But how do I know that's true? Because if the devil had the power to do what he wanted to do, he'd already killed us because he doesn't like us and he wants us out of here. So there's something restraining him. And that is God. It's the Holy Spirit. But it's also the fact that he has to get his power from us so that if he wants to do something to you, he's got to get you to agree with him. If he wants you to do something, use you to do something to hurt someone else, he's got to get you to agree with him. So he uses things like lies and deception and fear and control and manipulation and offense and bitterness.

16:55 Homicide, suicide, hatred, to get you to hate either yourself through self-destruction or to kill someone else through words or through, you know, actual instruments of death. Talk to us a bit about control and manipulation and how that's a part of witchcraft, controlling spirits, manipulation. How does that work in our lives, and how does that work even in the church? Well, fear is. And faith, or fear and love, are the two operating forces in the world. They come from the kingdoms of heaven and hell. So fear is bread. It comes out of, strengthened by insecurity. If I don't know who I am, I don't know I'm the child of the Most High God, then I'll be pushed around by the bullies down here, the gods of this world.

17:44 And if I don't know that God is good all the time, then I'm going to stumble and fail or fall when life gets hard and God is allowing, well, Satan is chasing and testing me, and God is wanting to keep me, but I have to choose who I'm going to believe, whose report I'm going to believe. So, insecurity causes us to reach, grab, take matters into our own hands, take control. Take control. How many, you know, TV commercials, take control of your health, take control of your finances. But this actually, taking control, actually flips and brings us under the control and the influence of the second power source, which is not God. And Satan is using the power against us. that he got from us. How is that for crazy?

18:25 How is that for twisted? He's actually using our power to use it against us, to destroy us, and we don't have a clue that's what's happening because he's got us under the illusion that I am taking care of myself. I can do my own thing. I can do whatever I want. Nobody can tell me what to do. It's like we give him, we hand him the loaded gun to shoot us. Yeah. How ridiculous is that? Well, by yielding our free will to the opposing forces, to the anti-God spirits, We come into an agreement with the devil. That allows the devil then, because we've agreed with him, been tricked into agreeing with him, like Eve, enchanted, deceived. She saw the beauty of the fruit. So we're deceived, enchanted by the beauty of whatever or the false promise for safety and protection and comfort and control.

19:09 We are deceived into giving our power over to him. And then in turn, that gives him power over us. most people do not realize this because they absolutely don't realize the power of the original act the original act of satan was to create the enchantments the stupor the stupors the veils the mists the concealments that the uh just create all of these illusions and deceptions and that really is what witchcraft really is is spells and incantations and drugs and. Pharmakia to keep us in that place of stupor and keep us in the place of delusion thinking, I'm in control of my life.

19:51 The only way you're going to ever be in control of your life is surrender control of your life to the one who loves you, and that is our Father. And it's interesting, Jesus, when he was preaching, teaching, I should say, and they said, teach us to pray, the first two words out of his mouth were, Our Father. Why did he start the prayer with that? Because he wanted to reconnect people with their identity, their origin, and they do have a Father in heaven. And so people don't realize. We rattle through that prayer like it's nothing. So when you say, Our Father, you're going back to the Father and acknowledging him and asking him to help you.

20:33 Because that's what a father is supposed to do. A good father is supposed to help his child get out of trouble, and we've been caught in all of these witchcraft webs, and we, number one, don't know it because we don't know about the enchantments and the spells. Number two, we don't get the fact that we've been disenfranchised or seduced, actually, pulled away from the true love of God for us because we see the world and we're believing a lie about God that all the bad stuff that's happening to me is because God is mad at me and he's teaching me a lesson and he's putting his judgments upon me so that I will learn that lesson, but that is not even God. God is not trying to teach you a lesson because he already knows everything you're going to, he already knows who you are, what you're going to do. And he's in control. He's going to bring you to the place of rich fulfillment if you just decide to continue following him.

21:19 But if you don't, he can't make you, he won't make you, the devil can't make you, God won't make you do something. So Satan is the master of illusion. So when we're getting into witchcraft, When we're getting into pharmakia, drugs, whatever it is. Control, self-determination, self-aggrandizement, self, I'm going to do it my way, we're in an illusion. We're not, we're in appearances. Well, Satan has done everything to create those illusions, including, you know, falsifying the true gospel of Jesus Christ and making it about works and about our righteousness is something we earn. And salvation, healing are something we have to earn. And that's not the correct way this goes.

22:05 It is the gospel of grace. Grace means good news freely given. We can't earn it. Now, in the Old Testament and even now, almost all the world was saturated with the paganism of superstitions and paranormals and supernaturals and fear and control and intimidation, bullying, abandonment, all those things, mythology, fascinations, even Halloween, all these things are sedating and seducing and webbing us into agreements with the practices of witchcraft. Now, witchcraft, again, is the other power source. And the devil makes that power source look like me taking control of my own life so that it doesn't become alarming to me what's going on because, well, it's up to me. I got to take care of it. I've got to do it.

22:48 Everyone has said that. It's up to me. If I don't do it, all things are going to break down and it'll be worse. And so it's up to me. I got to do it. Got to take control. And so people don't rest because you're always anxious. Did I do enough? Do I do it over again? We get OCD. We try to, you know, make our little world perfect and clean and safe. And yet the demon of uncleanness is lurking and the spirit of hoarding is right there at the door. And all kinds of things are just waiting to beat down, break down that door and come in. And so, again, who are we going to agree with? Who are we going to listen to? The counterfeits are made by the devil to look like the truth, you know, and helpful.

23:30 They look like they're immediately, momentarily helpful. It's a breakthrough. This witch that's coming into my world is a helper. She's clever. She makes my world better. She makes me feel better. She's a good office assistant. She's a friend of the family. She moves the Jezebels and the witches who work for the kingdom of darkness don't even know it for the most part because they don't even know they're practicing witchcraft. But they're coming in as agents of hell to break up, to go against the leadership, go against your own individual life, take your control out of your life because you're seduced, seduced, deceived by a need. I want to be loved. I want a girlfriend.

24:11 I want a better job. I want to make my company grow. I want to see my church get bigger. All of these allurements are the bait on the hook that Satan then sends someone in something, some situation to get you to agree with so that he can begin to manipulate you under the power of the agreement you made with witchcraft. So, with witchcraft, there's control. Absolutely. You know, it's about control. But then what about authority? Now, God has given us authority over the powers of the enemy. Right. So, there's godly authority that we might think, oh, that's just controlling. But it's not controlling.

24:52 It's authority. And how does that work with the authority God has given us to deal with those controlling spirits of witchcraft? Well, you can't deal with or use any authority that God has given you unless you're under God's authority. And so then you're the agent of heaven, and you have the authority Jesus gave you when he said, I give you power over all the power of the enemy. Whatever you bind is bound. Whatever you loose is loosed. And so you're the direct connection, the contact point, if you will, between heaven and earth. and God has given us authority to declare things, speak things, forbid things, bless. But when we're bound by witchcraft, we're hamstrung. We cannot, we're in the web.

25:35 In the web, you're in the web. You can't move. You can't do anything. You're slated to die. If you're a fly that's caught in the web, you're slated to die. Soon enough, the spider's going to come and eat you up. And so the witches, the adulteresses that sit at the door of their house, luring in the unsuspecting young men, and especially old men, middle-aged men, to lure them into some sexual perversion or some trap, some snare, some agreement that they regret, or they don't even, maybe at some point, don't even know they made because they're still under the stupor of the spell, the poisoned arrow that shoots to tranquilize them. They don't even know they're being brought into the spell, the enchantment, the mesmerizing of the spirit of harlotry, but the spirit of harlotry and whoredom and sexual abuse and all of those things have opened up this whole snake pit to a whole new dimension of perversion.

26:29 Destruction, secrets, shame, silence, fear. And so the spirit of harlotry, the spirit of witchcraft have worked their way into the fabric and fiber of our country, our Christian organizations, our churches, our marriages. And what God wants to do is cleanse, release those things that we give agreement to have taken down God's protection. They pushed God back into the corner. And so the stage has been set for the complete gobbling up, snare, and capturing of the human race. However, God is faithful, and he is bringing truth to bring people to freedom. So here's a situation. So how, and you don't like how do we questions, but sometimes it's important to ask.

27:19 Discerning witchcraft, say, if you're involved in a church body, right, a congregation or something like that, or a Bible study or whatever. There has to be a kind of a discernment that you have. A discernment, yeah. Not kind of, but a discernment. Of spirits. It's a gift from God. Sniffing out witchcraft. Well, you're going to only see and sniff out the witchcraft correctly or the deceivers or the treacherous ones or the Jezebel spirits. You're only going to sense that and know that if you yourself have eyes to see and ears to hear and you're clear in what the truth is and what's really going on in the spiritual war and the rules that are going on. So, basically, this witchcraft is a deliberate attempt to capture you.

28:03 And the spirit of Jezebel, we've all heard about that. Basically, Jezebel hates men. She hates mankind. She hates humankind. She hates women. She sets up her prey, often men, in that spider's web. You know, it looks very casual at first, very beautiful, alluring, fun. It's all set up to deceive. Manipulative. Yeah, right, right. So Jezebel hates anything that has authority over her and wants that authority for herself. So Satan is using witchcraft to grab your power, your authority, your leadership, your gift, whatever it is. And so here's how she basically works. She sets up the set scenario, brings in treachery, uses false accusation, accuses people of things they didn't do, and then they can't defend themselves because every time they defend themselves, she twists things around, she plays the victim.

28:55 It's a casting of that false accusation, the drama, the confusion, the offense. So it just spins a web, and you don't know how to get out of that thing. You may know you're in the divination or under that spell or in that web, but what do you do to get out of it? So we've gotten caught in the hooks, many, many men. Men and boys, I tell you what, the enemy is after the men and uses the women to do it. And he's after the women and uses the men to do it. So obviously it's kind of an even thing. So here's another situation here. Paul at Philippi. So there's this slave girl there. She has a spirit of divination.

29:38 And she's saying these men, Paul and his group, these men are the servants of the Most High God who proclaim to us the way of salvation. Absolutely true. But what she said. But Paul became annoyed after several days or many days because there was something going on there. She was bewitching. She was seducing. She was bringing confusion because she was still practicing fortune telling at the end of the street, you know, in the evening or whatever. And so, well, was Paul endorsing then divination and witchcraft? There was a confusion. And so he got annoyed. And that's the telltale sign of being under the counsel of a witch, whether she's in your church or in your family or trying to steal your husband, is that you're annoyed because you have nothing you can say because everything you say, she flips it around to make it, you're the problem.

30:25 Yeah, so she uses victimization and offense to justify her position, her words, her comments, her deceptions, and forces you to take the place of being defensive. And then you're going to all together look both guilty and ignorant. But she gets in by flattery, and a lot of times people are hungry for praise, especially men. Oh, you're so this, you're so wonderful, you're so da-da-da. And so she's charming sometimes they come in the witches come in into your life, as either helpless or helpful. And so you need help, and so they're going to become your new secretary.

31:07 Or you're some nice pastor, and some helpless woman comes, and she needs groceries, and so you're going to start bringing her stuff. And yeah, that all looks good, and it's okay, but don't get caught in the flattery and the rescue and the seduction of this pretty woman. Everybody desires to be desired, so they're hungry for comfort and attentiveness and feed into man, especially into the innate need to approve and be admired. And so the male ego is a perfect opportunity for this flattery and seduction to work and ensnare him, whether it's in his business or his life or his family or his career. So we're easy prey, but how do we get out of this character assassination? How do we get out of these snares? Because you have to get out of these snares.

31:49 God wants you out of the snare. You can get out of the snare. You don't have to be the little fly that gets eaten. You don't have to, but what are we going to do? Because the attack on your character, her skillful accusations, she's good at this. The demons are good at using her to do this, to ensnare us in the destruction, to destroy the marriage or the church or whoever else. So they come in, guys, as good, enthusiastic, wanting your best, and they're lying to you. So they twist and they turn and everything goes into the place of despair caught in the net. I was thinking of Jezebel. She was helping her wimpy husband Ahab get what he wanted.

32:32 He wanted this vineyard and he's pouting about it. Was it Naboth's Vineyard? And she was there. Here's the spirit of Jezua. I can help you get what you want. Right. And she took his stationery, his letterhead, and she wrote a letter to the guys in the village and said, here we're setting up a banquet. And they all thought it was probably Naboth's executive order or whatever. And so they did what she said, but she set up the whole plot and her husband, Ahab, didn't even know about it until it was all over. And so she had Naboth, the owner of the vineyard, killed. And then she got the little vegetable garden for her husband. And she just did that constantly until God said, that's enough.

33:14 You're going to die. Here's where you're going to die. Here's how you're going to die. And we're done with you. She became the dog food queen. Yeah, the dog food queen because she got ate up by the dogs. But anyway, so now let's look at how to get out of this. First of all, you got involved. Sometimes the enemy gets into our lives. Marries, unfortunately, this is so tragic and so often done, where the enemy will marry someone who is practicing witchcraft into a family, into a godly family, into a godly bloodline, or he'll target the church and bring your next best intercessor who's got demonic powers to fortune tell and foresee the future and predict and prophesy. She'll be your next top intercessor until she gives you Crohn's or lupus and you die or whatever.

33:56 So, you know, she, but there's this, all this false accusation, the taunting, the drama, and this goes on whether it's in a church or in your own individual soul. I know people, this is going on in their soul right now. They're terrified. They're afraid to let go. They're afraid. They're trapped. They don't feel like they have any power left to say no. And this is another problem. You can't say no because you have the power to say no. You have the power to walk away. But we don't really have confidence and in our abilities to say no. So to be delivered from witchcraft, we're no match for a witch. We're no match for the demons behind her. We're no match for the devil who sent her. And so what we have to do is begin by pulling God into the equation and saying, Lord, I repent.

34:42 I confess the rebellion, the stiffness of neck, trying to do this myself, not seeing the warnings, the red flags, maybe the warnings your wife was giving you or not. Sometimes the wives are also in treachery. It's not always easy to say who's doing what. But you repent and you confess your sins. And you go to God and you say, Lord, I forgive. This is the only way you can break out of witchcraft, really, is I forgive this person or persons or system. It might be a system. It might be you might be in a company that's practicing witchcraft. You forgive whoever the Lord shows you to forgive. That means you're releasing them from your judgment for the crimes they committed against you.

35:24 Stealing your life, your freedom, your. Personal health, whatever. So this present world system, evil world system, under the power of Satan, the prince of the power of the air, essentially it's just laced with witchcraft. Absolutely. It's a witchcraft. Well, it is. It's the other power system. Witchcraft is the alternative power system of the world, and it comes from our giving our will over to rebellion. So then that gives rebellion and witchcraft the power to run the world. Because we're deceived into thinking that I'm doing it. I get what I want. I'm running things. I'm in control. But you're not. You're actually the catalyst for domination by the devil and his taking over your power.

36:08 So forgiving the person or persons, being kind of concise. Okay, I forgive them for stealing my ministry. I forgive them for stealing my wife. I forgive them for turning my children against you. I forgive them for plotting against you to take my life. I forgive them for, you know, suing me, divorcing me, trying to take my hard-earned money, steal my inheritance from my children. I forgive them. And when you're forgiving, and you can be specific like that, and you recognize this has also been in your bloodline, because you're not the first one in this pattern that's been taken over by witchcraft. Then after you forgive them, you go to the court of heaven, and you say, God, now I'm coming into your court as the plaintiff. that the crimes committed against me through the wit and the woman or the man or the circumstance, they're not the enemy. They're only the instrument.

36:55 Yeah. And so you forgive the person and ask God to give them a deep and holy revelation of salvation so that they will not be lost in this whole thing. But you go into the court of heaven and you come in as the plaintiff and you ask a couple of things. You ask for the testimony of Jesus Christ on your behalf because he's a faithful witness. He saw it all. He knows what's been happening. And you ask him to testify before the court regarding the truth of what's going on. You ask the Lord God in the court to rule in favor of justice, righteousness, and mercy and truth, and so that you will be forgiven. You forgive yourself and receive God's forgiveness, whether you feel forgiven or not. If he forgives you, receive his forgiveness and don't be tricked into believing, well, I still don't feel forgiven.

37:37 Don't go with that because that's the demonic spirit just trying to confuse you. So go and say, okay, God, I surrender to you. I'm in trouble. I forgive so-and-so, whatever. I'm asking the court to rule, and I'm asking the court. The second thing you're going to ask the court for is to remove the demonic judgments. So those demonic judgments are the consequences of the agreements that you made under the influence of the spirit of deception. And so when you forgive, you ask God, you present your case, your petitions before the Lord, you ask Jesus to testify as the faithful witness on your behalf for what things were stolen from you, including your time, maybe your reputation, your health, your family, your finances, your hope, your joy, your justice, your mercy, your peace.

38:21 And the revelation of Jesus Christ. You repent. This is good for you. It's good for us to repent. Ask God to remove the veil of deception and the lies of darkness and all the bewitching, all the things you didn't see, all the hoods and the veils that are on the eyes and hearts of the people. Do not be offended. Don't take up the offense. Jesus, be your defense. And so you repent. You confess these things. Ask the court to heal you and forgive and restore the things that have been stolen from you and ask the court to judge the demons who are behind the witchcraft and that they will be locked up. The spirit of witchcraft, rebellion, stupor, enchantment, control, divination, loss, everything Satan has been trying to do to steal your identity and to steal your relationship with God that has been thwarted or attacked during this attack with the witchcraft.

39:12 So then it's basically, in a sense, you free yourself from the power of witchcraft by coming to Jesus, by praying, and using the authority that you have. You know, just escape, escaping from the snare of the evil one. Yes. We read that about, you know. He said, yeah, he said, we can say something like this. I ask you, Lord, to remove the lies, the works of darkness, the witchcraft, Jezebel, jealousy, deception, perversion, control, destruction. Slander against me, and all that the enemy has judged me for. Will you judge him for the wicked schemes and that he's perpetuated against me? I ask you, Lord, to remove these demonic judgments and the curses from my life and the life of my descendants.

39:55 And you know that Jesus will do that because Jesus loves us. He knows the truth, and he's so happy that we're coming to our senses, as we read in 2 Timothy, that they may come to their senses, that they may be aware of the snare of the enemy. Yeah, escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will. So, if you want the picture of witchcraft and warfare in a nutshell, it's 2 Timothy 2, verse 24, 5, and 6. And read the other version and setting us in opposition to ourselves because that's how he begins the process. The old King James. Yeah. So, Father, we just ask you now to set us free from witchcraft in our families, in our precious loved ones, sons and daughters and grandchildren.

40:41 And even those who are in our businesses, our business partners, our wives, our husbands, our marriages. Our churches. Yes, our pastors that have been deceived, deluded, and are under the power of the church. Of fear and witchcraft. Father God, have mercy upon your people. The only way this is going to work, Lord, is if you wake us up. Wake us up with the truth, and we thank you that the truth sets us free. And so we forgive the people who are looking into witchcraft, using it as a means to enhance their life, protect them, strengthen their insecurity. We forgive them because witches are the most insecure people in the world because they have to control everything. And so we forgive the immoral women, the seducers, the harlots, who have also been terrified, traumatized, abused by the enemy to set them up to become his instruments of deception.

41:33 We forgive the women and the men who have been abused and used by the enemy to promote his kingdom. Lord God, set your people free. And Father, we ask these things in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Well, what shall we say to all of this except check out some of the stuff on the Life Recovery website. We are, I believe there's so many things like, for example, Taking the Devil to Court. That's one of the first books I wrote. Taking the Devil to Court is a fast overview. It really lays a good, solid foundation and it's quick, fast reading on what's going on. And I think Taking the Devil to Court would really, because if you don't know the rules of the game, You don't know how this works, and you're going to be a victim of ignorance.

42:20 And so, Father God, let us go forward in all the things you've called us to do. We ask for your prayers, too. And right now I'm going to pray for some people who are bound in witchcraft. There are serious relationship bindings, webs, around certain people, webs. Like, you know, remember the scene in The Lord of the Rings where I think it was Frodo was all bound up by that spider's web, you know, all that web stuff? That was a pretty good picture of a lot of people that are bound in that. So what happened was someone has to love you enough, to get you free from that. And that's what God wants us to do is help each other. So I loose the power of the truth of God and the blood of Jesus, which dissolves the webbing, to set your people free, Father God, in Jesus' name.

43:09 So, Lord, we just pray, too, for children, for those listening today and grandchildren that are in this web of witchcraft. They've been seduced, boys, young men, that have been seduced by... And girls. And girls that have been seduced by witchcraft that they're using to really destroy themselves. The enemy is using, yeah. Yeah, the enemy is doing that. Release them, Father, in the name of Jesus. We declare their freedom. We just release these young people from witchcraft and release men, godly young men, that have gotten caught up with witches. Sexual perversions. Yeah. When you do this sexual stuff, you're binding yourself in soul ties to these people, and you're also marrying them in a way.

43:57 It's called spirit spouses. You're actually, you know, if you've had sexual intercourse with people, you have actually submitted to that relationship, and you're bound in that relationship, and so you're technically married to that person, even though you haven't had a wedding, and you may be married legally to someone else, and yet you're off having an affair. You're actually creating another relationship that has as much power and authority over you to control you or destroy you. And it's an illegal relationship, but nonetheless, it's binding. So confess, repent, ask God to help you, deliver you from the sexual seductions and spirits of witchcraft. And Father, let this be done in the name of Jesus Christ and for your glory.

44:41 Amen. Amen. Thank you for joining us. I have an emergency. What is your location? Music. 3, 2, 1... It's a good point. It's a nice thing. It's a good point. It's a bad guy. It's a good guy. It's a good guy. It's a good guy. 3, 2, 1...
