"If God Is So Good..." RESCUE RADIO with Marjorie Cole

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200
I have an emergency. What is your location?

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,200
I can't tell you.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,200
We are going to need you.

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,200
I can't tell you.

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,200
I can't tell you.

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,200
I can't tell you.

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,200
I can't tell you.

8
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,200
I can't tell you.

9
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,200
I can't tell you.

10
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,200
I can't tell you.

11
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,200
I can't tell you.

12
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,200
Rescue Radio.

13
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,200
Because there is a war for your soul.

14
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,400
Yes, Father God.

15
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,400
We acknowledge the war, but we have already won

16
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,400
because you have defeated our enemy completely.

17
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,400
And your counsel to us is

18
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,400
stand and having done all to stand

19
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,400
and in the evil days withstand

20
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,400
by standing, Ephesians chapter 6.

21
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,400
So Lord God, we thank you

22
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,400
for that counsel and we thank you

23
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,400
that your kingdom come, your will be done

24
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,400
on earth.

25
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,400
On earth here, right with us

26
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,400
even as it's always being done and declared in heaven.

27
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,400
We thank you for the promise of eternal life.

28
00:00:56,599 --> 00:00:58,599
We thank you Jesus for dying on the cross

29
00:00:58,599 --> 00:01:00,599
for securing that life eternally

30
00:01:00,599 --> 00:01:02,599
with you in heaven.

31
00:01:02,599 --> 00:01:04,599
We thank you for also giving us power

32
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:06,599
over all the power of the enemy

33
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,599
to bind and to loose and to forgive.

34
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:10,599
That was the biggest of all the superpowers

35
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:12,599
you gave us to release other people

36
00:01:12,599 --> 00:01:14,599
from judgment so that you could be the judge

37
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:16,599
and the enemy could be judged, Father God.

38
00:01:16,599 --> 00:01:18,599
So we thank you for giving us understanding

39
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:20,599
through your holy word

40
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:22,599
and we pray that you now give us eyes to see

41
00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:24,599
and ears to hear that we could understand

42
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:26,599
this war and give us

43
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:28,599
that revelation of Jesus Christ

44
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:30,599
in our particular spot

45
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:32,599
where we will know the truth

46
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:34,599
and the lie will be exposed

47
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:36,599
and cast out, Father.

48
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:38,599
We ask you to forgive us for believing lies,

49
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:40,599
for being tempted and tricked by the enemy

50
00:01:40,599 --> 00:01:42,599
and for breaking the covenant that you've

51
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:44,599
set in the midst of us, Father.

52
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:46,599
We thank you Jesus for

53
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:48,599
giving us wisdom and counsel, guiding our minds

54
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:50,599
and our mouths and we speak as the oracles

55
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:52,599
of God. We thank you Lord God

56
00:01:52,599 --> 00:01:54,599
for divine protection over us,

57
00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:56,599
over all that pertains to us,

58
00:01:56,599 --> 00:01:58,599
especially over our lives,

59
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:00,599
the lives of our loved ones,

60
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:02,599
their spiritual lives as well

61
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:04,599
and for over our time and our money

62
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:06,599
that the enemy will not, you said,

63
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:08,600
no weapon formed against you will prosper

64
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,600
and so those things that the enemy is trying to do

65
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,600
to destroy us, to deceive us, to cut us off,

66
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,600
to make life difficult,

67
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,600
discourage and all that other stuff,

68
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,600
that he will be cut off

69
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,600
and we will be blessed and we will be encouraged

70
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,600
by you, Father God, in Jesus' name

71
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,600
and we thank you that no weapon or word

72
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,600
formed against us will prosper.

73
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,600
We bless and forgive everyone who's spoken against us.

74
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,600
We declare that the words they've spoken,

75
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,600
gossip, backbiting, behind their back,

76
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,600
whatever it is, covered with the Holy Blood

77
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,600
of Jesus Christ, these words fall to the ground

78
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,600
and Satan cannot use them anymore to bring forth

79
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,600
his plots or schemes or plans,

80
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,600
Father, in Jesus' name, amen.

81
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Amen.

82
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,600
Well, amen. Are you ready?

83
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600
I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm always ready.

84
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,600
We're going to examine today,

85
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,600
and maybe it'll take a couple of times, I'm not sure,

86
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,600
to examine that big question,

87
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,600
if God is so good, then why?

88
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,600
Why are all these bad things happening to us?

89
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,600
Why is it that, you know,

90
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,600
if God is so good,

91
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,600
why didn't God stop this?

92
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,600
Why, you know, I trusted God to help me.

93
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,600
All the tragedies that God permits

94
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,600
become a huge

95
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,600
stumbling block to us.

96
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,600
Well...

97
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,600
We have to come to a place of

98
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,600
understanding this whole process

99
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,600
of what's going on.

100
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Absolutely.

101
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,600
We have God, the power of God.

102
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,600
We have the power of Satan

103
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,600
that's working.

104
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,600
All this stuff is intermingled

105
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,600
in this world.

106
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,600
And then we're influenced

107
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600
one way or another.

108
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,600
We're influenced sometimes back and forth

109
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,600
between light and darkness, truth and error.

110
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Well, that's the whole story of life, back and forth.

111
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,600
But to start this thing at the beginning

112
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,600
of, if God is so good, then why?

113
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,600
We have to understand what happened,

114
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,600
what's the parameters, like you said,

115
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,600
of this war.

116
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,600
And in Deuteronomy chapter 29,

117
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,600
Moses is kind of, you know,

118
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,600
making his parting comments

119
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,600
to the children of Israel just before he dies.

120
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,600
And he begins 29.1

121
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,600
with,

122
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600
These are the words of the covenant

123
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,600
which the Lord commanded Moses to make

124
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,600
with the children of Israel in the land of Moab

125
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,600
beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

126
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,600
So he's talking about the covenant

127
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,600
that God made with his children.

128
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,600
He had drawn them out of paganism

129
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,600
into a new life,

130
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,600
a new lifestyle, a new set of beliefs

131
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,600
when he called Abram out of

132
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,600
early Chaldees. And he began to teach

133
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,600
Abraham, and he made this promise,

134
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,600
covenant with Abraham.

135
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,600
Actually, that's how Abraham received and

136
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,600
became righteous, was because he believed God,

137
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,600
not because he obeyed ten commandments,

138
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,600
because there weren't ten commandments at that point in time.

139
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,600
But, so, the covenant

140
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,600
says, basically, it's not a contract,

141
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,600
it's a covenant. God is

142
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,600
making the covenant with us, saying,

143
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,600
everything I have is yours, everything you have is mine.

144
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,600
Let's be together in this, let's

145
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,600
stay together in this.

146
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,600
This covenant was made with an oath

147
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,600
by God, and so

148
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,600
Abraham agreed with it, Moses and the people agreed with it.

149
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,600
But what was happening is

150
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,600
the covenant was there to protect them,

151
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,600
protect them from the schemes

152
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,600
of the evil one.

153
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,600
You know, basically he said to Abram,

154
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,600
I will bless those who bless you

155
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,600
and curse those who curse you.

156
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,600
But then God sets before

157
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,600
the nation of Israel

158
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,600
blessings and curses.

159
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,600
You know, if you will obey me,

160
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,600
you're going to be blessed. If you're going to

161
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,600
disobey me and rebel, you're going to be cursed.

162
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,600
And it's not that God is

163
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,600
like, I've got to have it my way

164
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,600
because I'm on some big

165
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,600
cosmic ego trip.

166
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,600
It's not that, it's a matter of

167
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,600
his love for his people.

168
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,600
His warnings, okay,

169
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,600
I know if you're

170
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,600
going to come to the place of obeying me,

171
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,600
there's going to be blessing of all kinds.

172
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,600
You come to the place, not that

173
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,600
you're never going to have any trouble,

174
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,600
but if you willfully disobey me,

175
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,600
you're going to come under the powers

176
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,600
of darkness.

177
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,600
And it's going to be really bad for you.

178
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,600
You know, and that's kind of the confusion

179
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,600
because God says,

180
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,600
you know, God says, like you just said,

181
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,600
if you follow me, obey me, then I will bless you.

182
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,600
And if you disobey me,

183
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,600
Deuteronomy 28, 15,

184
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,600
then all these curses will come upon you.

185
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,600
So what he is saying, God is saying,

186
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,600
is basically the analogy, simple analogy

187
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,600
would be something like this.

188
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,600
If you, you know,

189
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,600
if you stick your fork in the light socket,

190
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,600
you're going to be electrocuted.

191
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,600
You know,

192
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,600
so God is warning them, don't do

193
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,600
this, don't follow Satan,

194
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,600
don't practice idolatry, don't worship

195
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,600
demons, because if you do that,

196
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,600
you're going to get electrocuted.

197
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,600
It's going to be bad for you. He's not cursing us,

198
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,600
he's warning us. But Satan takes that same

199
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,600
verse, the soul that sins shall die,

200
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,600
God is using it as a

201
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,600
warning. Satan flips it,

202
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,600
flips,

203
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,600
that's what divination is, it flips

204
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,600
things. So he flips it around to say,

205
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,600
oh, oh, if they sin,

206
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,600
they die, okay, all I got to do then,

207
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,600
Satan says, is get them to sin,

208
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,600
and then I get to kill them.

209
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,600
And so this is the place

210
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,600
that we're in, this place of Satan

211
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,600
switching the words of God,

212
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,600
making God look bad, getting us

213
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,600
to judge God for not being there, not being

214
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,600
fair, you know, letting

215
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,600
all these bad things happen to us.

216
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,600
But we forget that in

217
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,600
the middle of God and Satan,

218
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,600
God votes for you, the devil votes against you,

219
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,600
we have a free will. And so

220
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,600
God says, are you in covenant with me?

221
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,600
If you're in covenant with me, then I will bless you.

222
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,600
Even though the enemy's going to

223
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,600
try to hurt you and use

224
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,600
generational iniquities against you,

225
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,600
I have died for you, walk with me,

226
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,600
stand with me, and I will bless you.

227
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,600
But Satan says, oh, look,

228
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,600
God's not there. So we're tempted,

229
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,600
the biggest temptation is to judge God

230
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,600
as being not faithful.

231
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,600
In Deuteronomy chapter 30

232
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,600
verses 15 and 16, it says,

233
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,600
see, I have set before you

234
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,600
today life

235
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,600
and good, death and evil.

236
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,600
He says, here it is,

237
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,600
laying it right before you, in that

238
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,600
I command you today to love the Lord

239
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,600
your God, to walk in his ways

240
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,600
and to keep his commandments, his statutes

241
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,600
and his judgments, that you may live

242
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,600
and multiply and the Lord

243
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,600
your God will bless you in the

244
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,600
land which you go to possess.

245
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,600
So it's God's desire

246
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,600
that we may live

247
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,600
and multiply, be

248
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,600
fruitful, be prosperous.

249
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,600
We're not talking about, you know,

250
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,600
that we all get to be multimillionaires and all that.

251
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,600
But he's saying his

252
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,600
desire, because he

253
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,600
created us, you know, in

254
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,599
his likeness and image he made us

255
00:08:32,599 --> 00:08:34,599
and he wants to bless us.

256
00:08:34,599 --> 00:08:36,599
That's his desire.

257
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:38,599
His desire is to bring blessing

258
00:08:38,599 --> 00:08:40,599
and help and guidance to us.

259
00:08:40,599 --> 00:08:42,599
But he's given us a free will.

260
00:08:42,599 --> 00:08:44,599
And Satan uses our free

261
00:08:44,599 --> 00:08:46,599
will to deceive us and

262
00:08:46,599 --> 00:08:48,599
seduce us, entice us

263
00:08:48,599 --> 00:08:50,599
and lie to us. In verse 17

264
00:08:50,599 --> 00:08:52,599
of Deuteronomy 30, he says,

265
00:08:52,599 --> 00:08:54,599
But if your heart turns away so that you

266
00:08:54,599 --> 00:08:56,599
do not hear and are drawn

267
00:08:56,599 --> 00:08:58,599
away and worship other gods and serve them,

268
00:08:58,599 --> 00:09:00,599
I announce to you today that

269
00:09:00,599 --> 00:09:02,599
you shall surely perish. You shall not prolong

270
00:09:02,599 --> 00:09:04,599
your days in the land which you go cross

271
00:09:04,599 --> 00:09:06,599
over the Jordan to go in and possess.

272
00:09:06,599 --> 00:09:08,599
I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against

273
00:09:08,599 --> 00:09:10,599
you that I have set before you life and death,

274
00:09:10,599 --> 00:09:12,599
blessing and cursing.

275
00:09:12,599 --> 00:09:14,599
Therefore choose life that both

276
00:09:14,599 --> 00:09:16,599
you and your descendants may live.

277
00:09:16,599 --> 00:09:18,599
That you may love the Lord your God, that you may

278
00:09:18,599 --> 00:09:20,599
obey his voice and that you may cling to him

279
00:09:20,599 --> 00:09:22,599
for he is your life

280
00:09:22,599 --> 00:09:24,599
and the length of your days and that you

281
00:09:24,599 --> 00:09:26,599
may dwell in the land which the Lord God

282
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:28,599
swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and

283
00:09:28,599 --> 00:09:30,599
Jacob. So he's saying this is a life and death

284
00:09:30,599 --> 00:09:32,599
issue. You

285
00:09:32,599 --> 00:09:34,599
know, either you follow me and God

286
00:09:34,599 --> 00:09:36,599
is not evil. God is not against you.

287
00:09:36,599 --> 00:09:38,599
God is not trying to take away

288
00:09:38,599 --> 00:09:40,599
your freedom. As a matter of fact

289
00:09:40,599 --> 00:09:42,599
he's the one promoting your freedom through

290
00:09:42,599 --> 00:09:44,599
truth. But the enemy makes us

291
00:09:44,599 --> 00:09:46,599
think that, well, you know, if I serve

292
00:09:46,599 --> 00:09:48,599
God then I have to do what God wants and I have no

293
00:09:48,599 --> 00:09:50,599
freedom. So Satan is enticing

294
00:09:50,599 --> 00:09:52,599
us with the idea of

295
00:09:52,599 --> 00:09:54,599
being free like he did Eve.

296
00:09:54,599 --> 00:09:56,599
Free to do what you want.

297
00:09:56,599 --> 00:09:58,599
Eat off the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good

298
00:09:58,599 --> 00:10:00,599
and evil. And that is

299
00:10:00,599 --> 00:10:02,599
freedom. But it's not freedom. It's bondage

300
00:10:02,599 --> 00:10:04,599
but we've just

301
00:10:04,599 --> 00:10:06,599
voted for, if you will,

302
00:10:06,599 --> 00:10:08,599
the enemy and God says if you vote

303
00:10:08,599 --> 00:10:10,599
for the enemy, walk with the enemy, then the enemy

304
00:10:10,599 --> 00:10:12,599
is going to set you up like a fisherman

305
00:10:12,599 --> 00:10:14,599
on a hook. You have the bait but then it's going to be

306
00:10:14,599 --> 00:10:16,599
the curse because he's going to end up putting you in his

307
00:10:16,599 --> 00:10:18,599
hand. What happens is that

308
00:10:18,599 --> 00:10:20,599
the enemy makes serving

309
00:10:20,599 --> 00:10:22,599
God look like bondage.

310
00:10:22,599 --> 00:10:24,599
And serving the enemy look like freedom.

311
00:10:24,599 --> 00:10:26,599
Yes. And that's called divination.

312
00:10:26,599 --> 00:10:28,599
He makes the bad look good and the good

313
00:10:28,599 --> 00:10:30,599
look bad. And so then what happens

314
00:10:30,599 --> 00:10:32,599
through the many generations

315
00:10:32,599 --> 00:10:34,599
that have been tricked and twisted

316
00:10:34,599 --> 00:10:36,599
and this has been flipped on them,

317
00:10:36,599 --> 00:10:38,599
all of our people, and we all come from a long line

318
00:10:38,599 --> 00:10:40,599
of generational people who have made decisions,

319
00:10:40,599 --> 00:10:42,599
many of whom have

320
00:10:42,599 --> 00:10:44,599
sinned against God. There's iniquities built

321
00:10:44,599 --> 00:10:46,599
up, there's personal sins, there's

322
00:10:46,599 --> 00:10:48,599
generational sin, all this stuff. And so

323
00:10:48,599 --> 00:10:50,599
we are kind of at the bottom of an avalanche

324
00:10:50,599 --> 00:10:52,599
and wondering now, how do we

325
00:10:52,599 --> 00:10:54,599
get our blessings back?

326
00:10:54,599 --> 00:10:56,599
Well, the way you get your blessings back is to

327
00:10:56,599 --> 00:10:58,599
repent, confess,

328
00:10:58,599 --> 00:11:00,599
confess the sins, the disobedience,

329
00:11:00,599 --> 00:11:02,599
because God knows

330
00:11:02,599 --> 00:11:04,599
that when we're enticed

331
00:11:04,599 --> 00:11:06,599
and seduced into worshiping

332
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:08,599
sticks and stones and our own selves

333
00:11:08,599 --> 00:11:10,599
and everybody else's opinion and are afraid,

334
00:11:10,599 --> 00:11:12,599
we're listening to fear rather than

335
00:11:12,599 --> 00:11:14,599
God's love.

336
00:11:14,599 --> 00:11:16,599
We are sitting ducks

337
00:11:16,599 --> 00:11:18,599
to being

338
00:11:18,599 --> 00:11:20,599
swept up, gathered up,

339
00:11:20,599 --> 00:11:22,599
swallowed up by the terrible

340
00:11:22,599 --> 00:11:24,599
one. And so people are

341
00:11:24,599 --> 00:11:26,599
saying, well, I don't have

342
00:11:26,599 --> 00:11:28,599
any freedom. Serving God is the most

343
00:11:28,599 --> 00:11:30,599
freeing, liberating, awesome

344
00:11:30,599 --> 00:11:32,599
experience. But people believe,

345
00:11:32,599 --> 00:11:34,599
okay, so now,

346
00:11:34,599 --> 00:11:36,599
the devil flips it again,

347
00:11:36,599 --> 00:11:38,599
so if I'm not perfect, if I don't do

348
00:11:38,599 --> 00:11:40,599
everything that God wants, then God

349
00:11:40,599 --> 00:11:42,599
is going to test me, God is going to judge me.

350
00:11:42,599 --> 00:11:44,599
No, he's not. The devil is going

351
00:11:44,599 --> 00:11:46,599
to do that, but he's going to, because

352
00:11:46,599 --> 00:11:48,599
the rule is, whom you yield yourself

353
00:11:48,599 --> 00:11:50,599
servant to obey, that's who

354
00:11:50,599 --> 00:11:52,599
a slave you become. So

355
00:11:52,599 --> 00:11:54,599
if we're listening to the lie, listening to fear,

356
00:11:54,599 --> 00:11:56,599
taking matters into our own hands,

357
00:11:56,599 --> 00:11:58,599
practicing witchcraft, being insecure,

358
00:11:58,599 --> 00:12:00,599
just not trusting God,

359
00:12:00,599 --> 00:12:02,599
you know, like I said, doing it ourselves,

360
00:12:02,599 --> 00:12:04,599
you are actually

361
00:12:04,599 --> 00:12:06,599
saying, it's up to me,

362
00:12:06,599 --> 00:12:08,599
I got to do it myself, I don't trust God.

363
00:12:08,599 --> 00:12:10,599
And the devil, then,

364
00:12:10,599 --> 00:12:12,599
he is putting all this

365
00:12:12,599 --> 00:12:14,599
deceiving thoughts

366
00:12:14,599 --> 00:12:16,599
into our minds that I've got to take

367
00:12:16,599 --> 00:12:18,599
care of myself, because I'm

368
00:12:18,599 --> 00:12:20,599
not sure God is good all the time.

369
00:12:20,599 --> 00:12:22,599
So the big problem is, we don't know who we are

370
00:12:22,599 --> 00:12:24,599
and we don't know that God is good all the time

371
00:12:24,599 --> 00:12:26,599
and God cannot not be good, because

372
00:12:26,599 --> 00:12:28,599
he is love and he is God.

373
00:12:28,599 --> 00:12:30,599
What about people now that are

374
00:12:30,599 --> 00:12:32,599
loving the Lord, people

375
00:12:32,599 --> 00:12:34,599
listening here today,

376
00:12:34,599 --> 00:12:36,599
are loving the Lord their God,

377
00:12:36,599 --> 00:12:38,599
wanting to serve

378
00:12:38,599 --> 00:12:40,599
him, yet there's all kinds of

379
00:12:40,599 --> 00:12:42,599
trouble, all hell breaks loose a lot of times.

380
00:12:42,599 --> 00:12:44,599
In their lives.

381
00:12:44,599 --> 00:12:46,599
And then the question is,

382
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:48,599
okay, Lord, I am

383
00:12:48,599 --> 00:12:50,599
wanting to serve you, I'm serving

384
00:12:50,599 --> 00:12:52,599
you as much as I know how

385
00:12:52,599 --> 00:12:54,599
to do it, but I'm still

386
00:12:54,599 --> 00:12:56,599
getting blasted on a regular

387
00:12:56,599 --> 00:12:58,599
basis, I'm still getting

388
00:12:58,599 --> 00:13:00,599
persecuted, I still got all

389
00:13:00,599 --> 00:13:02,599
kinds of trouble in my

390
00:13:02,599 --> 00:13:04,599
life. What about that? Well, we have to

391
00:13:04,599 --> 00:13:06,599
recognize that we are in a war.

392
00:13:06,599 --> 00:13:08,599
And in a war, that's what happens.

393
00:13:08,599 --> 00:13:10,599
We are being attacked,

394
00:13:10,599 --> 00:13:12,599
you're on God's side, but you need to

395
00:13:12,599 --> 00:13:14,599
know, let's just say that we're

396
00:13:14,599 --> 00:13:16,599
fighting on the front lines and we don't realize

397
00:13:16,599 --> 00:13:18,599
that our right flank is wide open,

398
00:13:18,599 --> 00:13:20,599
or we don't have the

399
00:13:20,599 --> 00:13:22,599
food supply that we need, or we can't get the

400
00:13:22,599 --> 00:13:24,599
bullets we need, or whatever. So we're in

401
00:13:24,599 --> 00:13:26,599
a war and we're ill-equipped, because

402
00:13:26,599 --> 00:13:28,599
we don't understand our rights,

403
00:13:28,599 --> 00:13:30,599
we don't understand that Jesus died

404
00:13:30,599 --> 00:13:32,599
and paid for the penalty for our sin,

405
00:13:32,599 --> 00:13:34,599
that we have freedom from the iniquities

406
00:13:34,599 --> 00:13:36,599
of our generations if we stand

407
00:13:36,599 --> 00:13:38,599
confessing those things, as the Bible says

408
00:13:38,599 --> 00:13:40,599
in Leviticus,

409
00:13:40,599 --> 00:13:42,599
if you will confess your iniquity and the iniquity of your father

410
00:13:42,599 --> 00:13:44,599
which is with you, then I will restore the covenant.

411
00:13:44,599 --> 00:13:46,599
We don't understand,

412
00:13:46,599 --> 00:13:48,599
but for us that are righteous, that are

413
00:13:48,599 --> 00:13:50,599
walking in God's will,

414
00:13:50,599 --> 00:13:52,599
that we are still

415
00:13:52,599 --> 00:13:54,599
under the counsel of the attack.

416
00:13:54,599 --> 00:13:56,599
We're in that war.

417
00:13:56,599 --> 00:13:58,599
The bottom line

418
00:13:58,599 --> 00:14:00,599
in the wrestling match is,

419
00:14:00,599 --> 00:14:02,599
in what order are you going to end up believing?

420
00:14:02,599 --> 00:14:04,599
Are you going to believe what God says, or what it looks like,

421
00:14:04,599 --> 00:14:06,599
and what it feels like, and what the devil says, but

422
00:14:06,599 --> 00:14:08,599
you don't think it's the devil you're listening to,

423
00:14:08,599 --> 00:14:10,599
you're listening to a fear, you're listening

424
00:14:10,599 --> 00:14:12,599
to your emotions, you're listening to other people,

425
00:14:12,599 --> 00:14:14,599
and so this is the wrestling match,

426
00:14:14,599 --> 00:14:16,599
and this is where

427
00:14:16,599 --> 00:14:18,599
if we know our rights, we know

428
00:14:18,599 --> 00:14:20,599
who we are, and we are in covenant

429
00:14:20,599 --> 00:14:22,599
with God, you can start to say,

430
00:14:22,599 --> 00:14:24,599
you know what God, I'm in covenant with you,

431
00:14:24,599 --> 00:14:26,599
I love you, if there's something here I need to confess,

432
00:14:26,599 --> 00:14:28,599
I confess it, I submit to you,

433
00:14:28,599 --> 00:14:30,599
you are my defender, you are my help,

434
00:14:30,599 --> 00:14:32,599
instead of trying to take on all this stuff

435
00:14:32,599 --> 00:14:34,599
with some religious spirit of pious deceivers,

436
00:14:34,599 --> 00:14:36,599
submit to God,

437
00:14:36,599 --> 00:14:38,599
surrender to God, say, God, I confess

438
00:14:38,599 --> 00:14:40,599
the sins of my generations, close the doors,

439
00:14:40,599 --> 00:14:42,599
and bring me to the place of revelation,

440
00:14:42,599 --> 00:14:44,599
freedom, and truth,

441
00:14:44,599 --> 00:14:46,599
that I will know that you are good,

442
00:14:46,599 --> 00:14:48,599
and we are on the same side.

443
00:14:48,599 --> 00:14:50,599
Let's look at this

444
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:52,599
in a little more depth here,

445
00:14:52,599 --> 00:14:54,599
and you quoted

446
00:14:54,599 --> 00:14:56,599
Leviticus chapter 26,

447
00:14:56,599 --> 00:14:58,599
verses 39 and 40,

448
00:14:58,599 --> 00:15:00,599
and those of you who are left,

449
00:15:00,599 --> 00:15:02,599
those who basically are

450
00:15:02,599 --> 00:15:04,599
in disobedience,

451
00:15:04,599 --> 00:15:06,599
shall waste away in their iniquity

452
00:15:06,599 --> 00:15:08,599
in your enemies' lands,

453
00:15:10,599 --> 00:15:12,599
also in their fathers' iniquities,

454
00:15:12,599 --> 00:15:14,599
which are with them,

455
00:15:14,599 --> 00:15:16,599
they shall waste away.

456
00:15:16,599 --> 00:15:18,599
So basically he's saying the fathers' iniquities

457
00:15:18,599 --> 00:15:20,599
are with us,

458
00:15:20,599 --> 00:15:22,599
are with us,

459
00:15:24,599 --> 00:15:26,599
then the hope is here,

460
00:15:26,599 --> 00:15:28,599
verse 40,

461
00:15:28,599 --> 00:15:30,599
but if they confess their iniquity

462
00:15:30,599 --> 00:15:32,599
and the iniquity of their fathers

463
00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:34,599
with their unfaithfulness

464
00:15:34,599 --> 00:15:36,599
in which they were unfaithful to me,

465
00:15:36,599 --> 00:15:38,599
and that they

466
00:15:38,599 --> 00:15:40,599
have also walked contrary to me,

467
00:15:40,599 --> 00:15:42,599
and that I also

468
00:15:42,599 --> 00:15:44,599
have walked contrary to them,

469
00:15:44,599 --> 00:15:46,599
and have brought them into the land

470
00:15:46,599 --> 00:15:48,599
of their enemies,

471
00:15:48,599 --> 00:15:50,599
if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled

472
00:15:50,599 --> 00:15:52,599
and they accept their guilt,

473
00:15:52,599 --> 00:15:54,599
then I will remember my covenant with Jacob,

474
00:15:56,599 --> 00:15:58,599
my covenant with Isaac,

475
00:15:58,599 --> 00:16:00,599
and my covenant with Abraham,

476
00:16:00,599 --> 00:16:02,599
I will remember,

477
00:16:02,599 --> 00:16:04,599
and I will remember the land.

478
00:16:04,599 --> 00:16:06,599
So here's the deal,

479
00:16:06,599 --> 00:16:08,599
what he's saying there is exactly,

480
00:16:08,599 --> 00:16:10,599
God votes for you, the devil votes against you,

481
00:16:10,599 --> 00:16:12,599
you have a free will,

482
00:16:12,599 --> 00:16:14,599
you decide whose report you're going to believe,

483
00:16:14,599 --> 00:16:16,599
and if you are seduced, deceived,

484
00:16:16,599 --> 00:16:18,599
by believing the devil's lie,

485
00:16:18,599 --> 00:16:20,599
because he dresses it up to look like the truth,

486
00:16:20,599 --> 00:16:22,599
then you're going to be

487
00:16:22,599 --> 00:16:24,599
in an alien position,

488
00:16:24,599 --> 00:16:26,599
you're going to be hostile against God,

489
00:16:26,599 --> 00:16:28,599
you're going to be looked at as an enemy of God,

490
00:16:28,599 --> 00:16:30,599
and so therefore,

491
00:16:30,599 --> 00:16:32,599
the devil says, okay, they're listening to me now,

492
00:16:32,599 --> 00:16:34,599
I've got them, and that's the rule,

493
00:16:34,599 --> 00:16:36,599
if they're listening to me, I get them,

494
00:16:36,599 --> 00:16:38,599
and I get to do what I want with them,

495
00:16:38,599 --> 00:16:40,599
so he's going to put that curse on you,

496
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:42,599
you have got to get back,

497
00:16:42,599 --> 00:16:44,599
to get back into the place of favor and blessing,

498
00:16:44,599 --> 00:16:46,599
and the goodness of God,

499
00:16:46,599 --> 00:16:48,599
God is not, you know,

500
00:16:48,599 --> 00:16:50,599
God is for us all the time,

501
00:16:50,599 --> 00:16:52,599
God knows we get tricked,

502
00:16:52,599 --> 00:16:54,599
God is waiting for us to come back,

503
00:16:54,599 --> 00:16:56,599
return to the covenant with him,

504
00:16:56,599 --> 00:16:58,599
knowing that we're loved,

505
00:16:58,599 --> 00:17:00,599
but Satan makes us feel bad and guilty

506
00:17:00,599 --> 00:17:02,599
and blamed and unworthy,

507
00:17:02,599 --> 00:17:04,599
so we stand out there in the cold,

508
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:06,599
waiting to try to figure out

509
00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:08,599
how to do this to get our

510
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:10,599
restoration of our relationship with God,

511
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:12,599
and in the meantime,

512
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:14,599
he's twisting

513
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:16,599
everything around, making God look

514
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:18,599
bad in the midst of what

515
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:20,599
Satan has done to cause us to do bad

516
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,599
things, and then blames us, makes us

517
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:24,599
feel guilty, so we feel like we don't deserve

518
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:26,599
the love of God, God is always

519
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:28,599
in your court, always with you,

520
00:17:28,599 --> 00:17:30,599
even when you're in the midst of your horrible thing,

521
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:32,599
and Satan's trying to make you believe God

522
00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:34,599
isn't with you, God forgot about you, God is

523
00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:36,599
punishing you, God is testing you,

524
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:38,599
God has forgotten about you,

525
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:40,599
and all of that is a lie,

526
00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:42,599
but if you're going to believe that lie,

527
00:17:42,599 --> 00:17:44,599
then you're under the counsel and the power of that lie.

528
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:46,599
We have to remember that this life with the

529
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:48,599
Lord is not a cakewalk,

530
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:50,599
it's a battle.

531
00:17:50,599 --> 00:17:52,599
And there's high stakes.

532
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:54,599
High stakes is your very

533
00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:56,599
soul, and so

534
00:17:56,599 --> 00:17:58,599
the thing is too,

535
00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:00,599
Peter writes, he says,

536
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:02,599
don't think it's strange, concerning the fiery

537
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:04,599
trial, which is to try you.

538
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:06,599
Jesus said, in the world you shall have

539
00:18:06,599 --> 00:18:08,599
tribulation, you're going to have trouble, you're going to have problems,

540
00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:10,599
you're going to have attacks.

541
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:12,599
Because the devil runs this world.

542
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:14,599
But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

543
00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:16,599
So all this about believing God.

544
00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:18,599
In the midst of this,

545
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:20,599
we're trusting God,

546
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:22,599
and we're overcoming.

547
00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:24,599
If you don't have any challenge,

548
00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:26,599
if nothing comes against you,

549
00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:28,599
how can you be an overcomer?

550
00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:30,599
The way you're overcoming

551
00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:32,599
a team is overcoming

552
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:34,599
another team, because they

553
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:36,599
go to battle.

554
00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:38,599
They fight for the truth.

555
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:40,599
And they win.

556
00:18:40,599 --> 00:18:42,599
The truth is already accomplished in Jesus Christ.

557
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:44,599
He has secured the victory.

558
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:46,599
All he's asking us to do

559
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:48,599
is follow him.

560
00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:50,599
Now, some of you may,

561
00:18:50,599 --> 00:18:52,599
there's a problem.

562
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:54,599
The problem is you've taken on the lies of the enemy.

563
00:18:54,599 --> 00:18:56,599
We're suffering from the injustices

564
00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:58,599
because, number one,

565
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:00,599
we're being accused by the devil.

566
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:02,599
We did something wrong.

567
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:04,599
It's our fault, we're to blame.

568
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:06,599
And we go right along with that.

569
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:08,599
I'm stupid, it's my fault,

570
00:19:08,599 --> 00:19:10,599
I'm to blame. Satan is programming us

571
00:19:10,599 --> 00:19:12,599
to take the blame for what he did.

572
00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:14,599
Just like he was trying to get Job to take the

573
00:19:14,599 --> 00:19:16,599
blame for what Satan was doing.

574
00:19:16,599 --> 00:19:18,599
And Job did not say, you know what?

575
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:20,599
I had this coming. He didn't say that.

576
00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:22,599
He knew who he was, and he knew who God

577
00:19:22,599 --> 00:19:24,599
was, and he knew that this was an attack of the enemy.

578
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:26,599
And we need to know that too.

579
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:28,599
I need to know that God loves me.

580
00:19:28,599 --> 00:19:30,599
He knows more about me than I know about myself.

581
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:32,599
He's more in favor of me than I am.

582
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:34,599
He wants to bless me more than I can even comprehend.

583
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:36,599
And yet, the devil stands in the way

584
00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:38,599
and says, but you don't deserve that blessing because you just

585
00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:40,599
sinned and because you did this and that.

586
00:19:40,599 --> 00:19:42,599
And when the devil gets us to

587
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:44,599
believe that he's

588
00:19:44,599 --> 00:19:46,599
got a case against us and we don't know our rights,

589
00:19:46,599 --> 00:19:48,599
all these charges

590
00:19:48,599 --> 00:19:50,599
Satan is pressing against you to give him

591
00:19:50,599 --> 00:19:52,599
the right to steal your children

592
00:19:52,599 --> 00:19:54,599
and steal your homes and steal

593
00:19:54,599 --> 00:19:56,599
your life and your health. All of these

594
00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:58,599
arguments Satan is making against you,

595
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:00,599
accusing you in the

596
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:02,599
court of heaven, all of these charges

597
00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:04,599
that he's pressing against you have already

598
00:20:04,599 --> 00:20:06,599
been dealt with and paid

599
00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:08,599
for through the blood of Jesus Christ.

600
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:10,599
Let me bring this up

601
00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:12,599
so we have the right

602
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:14,599
discernment on all this.

603
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:16,599
Jeremiah chapter 4, 18,

604
00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:18,599
God is giving them a list

605
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:20,599
of things that, you know, all the corruption

606
00:20:20,599 --> 00:20:22,599
and all the iniquity and all the junk they've

607
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:24,599
got into in their lives.

608
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:26,599
And he says in verse 18

609
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:28,599
of Jeremiah 4,

610
00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:30,599
your ways and your doings

611
00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:32,599
have procured

612
00:20:32,599 --> 00:20:34,599
these things for you.

613
00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:36,599
This is your wickedness because

614
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:38,599
it is bitter because it reaches to your heart.

615
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:40,599
So he says a lot of this stuff,

616
00:20:40,599 --> 00:20:42,599
you know, there's a time,

617
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:44,599
is there a time where sometimes it's

618
00:20:44,599 --> 00:20:46,599
my fault and sometimes it's not my fault?

619
00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:48,599
Well, the prophet Jeremiah

620
00:20:48,599 --> 00:20:50,599
was reminding them the

621
00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:52,599
reason that they're in trouble, same

622
00:20:52,599 --> 00:20:54,599
thing in Deuteronomy, the reason that

623
00:20:54,599 --> 00:20:56,599
they would get in trouble is if they walk

624
00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:58,599
away from the counsel of God's love and

625
00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:00,599
truth and go after the

626
00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:02,599
lie. So then they would be

627
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:04,599
vulnerable to the demonic

628
00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:06,599
judgments of the enemy.

629
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:08,599
So then the enemy uses that demonic

630
00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:10,599
judgment to get you persuaded

631
00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:12,599
to believe that God is doing that to you because God is mean.

632
00:21:12,599 --> 00:21:14,599
So here's the trick. The devil says

633
00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:16,599
okay, I'm going to get them to hate you.

634
00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:18,599
He's talking to God. I'm going to get them to

635
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:20,599
believe that every bad thing

636
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:22,599
that ever happens to them

637
00:21:22,599 --> 00:21:24,599
is because you, God,

638
00:21:24,599 --> 00:21:26,599
are mad at them for breaking your law.

639
00:21:26,599 --> 00:21:28,599
I, Satan, I says I'm going to

640
00:21:28,599 --> 00:21:30,599
get them to believe that you're mad at them

641
00:21:30,599 --> 00:21:32,599
and it's you who is judging

642
00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:34,599
them when in fact the rule

643
00:21:34,599 --> 00:21:36,599
is this, whom you yield yourself

644
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:38,599
servant to obey, that's who a slave you become.

645
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:40,599
So if you listen to the lie, you listen to

646
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:42,599
fear, you do

647
00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:44,599
whatever fear recommends

648
00:21:44,599 --> 00:21:46,599
that you are believing a

649
00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:48,599
lie and you are then

650
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:50,599
eligible for the devil's judgment,

651
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:52,599
his demonic judgment because he's

652
00:21:52,599 --> 00:21:54,599
the one punishing you for disobeying

653
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:56,599
because whom you

654
00:21:56,599 --> 00:21:58,599
yield yourself servant to obey. So if you're obeying

655
00:21:58,599 --> 00:22:00,599
the Lord, he is

656
00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:02,599
going to bless you. But if you're obeying the devil,

657
00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:04,599
the devil is going to curse you.

658
00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:06,599
He's going to hurt you, but he's

659
00:22:06,599 --> 00:22:08,599
going to make you think it's God

660
00:22:08,599 --> 00:22:10,599
because you broke the law.

661
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:12,599
That's how we're raised. We're getting

662
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:14,599
in trouble with people and we think we're the bad one

663
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:16,599
and we're horrible and evil. The whole

664
00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:18,599
point of the devil's programming us

665
00:22:18,599 --> 00:22:20,599
is to get us to believe that we're bad and evil

666
00:22:20,599 --> 00:22:22,599
and deserve to die and deserve no good things

667
00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:24,599
and that God is mad at us and we're all alone

668
00:22:24,599 --> 00:22:26,599
and we're never going to make it and there's no such thing as love.

669
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:28,599
But in this world, he

670
00:22:28,599 --> 00:22:30,599
runs this snake pit and so it's a pretty

671
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:32,599
common idea

672
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:34,599
promoted

673
00:22:34,599 --> 00:22:36,599
amongst the human race that God

674
00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:38,599
is all-powerful

675
00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:40,599
and if he's so powerful, why does

676
00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:42,599
he not do something? Well, bottom

677
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:44,599
line, God is all-powerful.

678
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:46,599
Second thing is God is letting us

679
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:48,599
exercise

680
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:50,599
our decision-making, our free will

681
00:22:50,599 --> 00:22:52,599
and if we exercise it in favor

682
00:22:52,599 --> 00:22:54,599
of listening to the devil's lie,

683
00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:56,599
then we've just promoted and permitted

684
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:58,599
the devil to act

685
00:22:58,599 --> 00:23:00,599
in our life. So he's now going to act

686
00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:02,599
to bring a curse in your life and flip it around to make you

687
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:04,599
think God is mad at you because Satan's

688
00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:06,599
big

689
00:23:06,599 --> 00:23:08,599
agenda is to get us

690
00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:10,599
to believe we're separated from God.

691
00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:12,599
He wants us to feel separated

692
00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:14,599
from God so that he can

693
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:16,599
swallow us up and we'll be alone

694
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:18,599
and defenseless. The Lord God is

695
00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:20,599
always with us, but he has to have your

696
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:22,599
cooperation. If you have a lot of

697
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:24,599
judgments and curses and things going on in your life,

698
00:23:24,599 --> 00:23:26,599
first thing you need to do is

699
00:23:26,599 --> 00:23:28,599
get back into the covenant

700
00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:30,599
of God's love. Say, God,

701
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:32,599
I ask you to forgive me for

702
00:23:32,599 --> 00:23:34,599
believing lies. I believe

703
00:23:34,599 --> 00:23:36,599
lies about myself, lies about

704
00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:38,599
you, and I

705
00:23:38,599 --> 00:23:40,599
trusted the devil. I followed him.

706
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:42,599
I practiced idolatry. I practiced witchcraft.

707
00:23:42,599 --> 00:23:44,599
I practiced divination. I practiced

708
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:46,599
all kinds of things that the devil

709
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:48,599
gave you as ways to

710
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:50,599
fix your life and get better.

711
00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:52,599
I ask you to forgive me, God,

712
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:54,599
for believing these lies. I repent.

713
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:56,599
I turn from it, and I turn to you.

714
00:23:56,599 --> 00:23:58,599
I surrender to you. I submit to you, and I

715
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:00,599
acknowledge that you are good. Because

716
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:02,599
the whole point, the other side of this thing is

717
00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:04,599
Satan's trying to get you to believe God is not good.

718
00:24:04,599 --> 00:24:06,599
God is bad. And if you believe

719
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:08,599
God is bad, then where do you go?

720
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:10,599
Where's left to go?

721
00:24:10,599 --> 00:24:12,599
So the devil, who offers us

722
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:14,599
very reprieve or answer to

723
00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:16,599
prayer, only to use that

724
00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:18,599
against us and swallow us up.

725
00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:20,599
So really, we are the hinge,

726
00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:22,599
right, as to which

727
00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:24,599
we cast the deciding vote.

728
00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:26,599
Whose report we're going to believe.

729
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:28,599
We're the hinge point.

730
00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:30,599
So basically, disobedience

731
00:24:30,599 --> 00:24:32,599
puts you under

732
00:24:32,599 --> 00:24:34,599
Satan's influence.

733
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:36,599
His demonic judgments, because he's justified

734
00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:38,599
in doing it.

735
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:40,599
He's influencing all the time, but

736
00:24:40,599 --> 00:24:42,599
you disobey, you're kind of putting yourself

737
00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:44,599
into Satan's camp.

738
00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:46,599
You obey the Lord, you're

739
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:48,599
getting yourself into God's camp.

740
00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:50,599
So the thing is,

741
00:24:50,599 --> 00:24:52,599
here's the deal.

742
00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:54,599
Put the devil in the equation, and you'll

743
00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:56,599
start to solve the problem.

744
00:24:56,599 --> 00:24:58,599
If it's just God is bad or I'm bad,

745
00:24:58,599 --> 00:25:00,599
which religion all says.

746
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:02,599
You've got to see that there's the two power sources.

747
00:25:02,599 --> 00:25:04,599
There's God, the kingdom of God,

748
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:06,599
or the prince of this world,

749
00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:08,599
the kingdom of darkness.

750
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:10,599
We recognize that.

751
00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,599
And the thing is, I was thinking

752
00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:14,599
of this morning

753
00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:16,599
marjorie about

754
00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:18,599
when the children of Israel

755
00:25:18,599 --> 00:25:20,599
were all confused about who God really was.

756
00:25:20,599 --> 00:25:22,599
That's absolutely true.

757
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:24,599
And they were surrounded by pagans and seducing

758
00:25:24,599 --> 00:25:26,599
spirits and enchanting spirits.

759
00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:28,599
And then Elijah comes along and says,

760
00:25:28,599 --> 00:25:30,599
in the King James, I like the way it says,

761
00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:32,599
why halt ye between

762
00:25:32,599 --> 00:25:34,599
two opinions?

763
00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:36,599
You're limping between two

764
00:25:36,599 --> 00:25:38,599
opinions. You're undecided.

765
00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:40,599
He said,

766
00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:42,599
okay, decide

767
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:44,599
where you're going to go. Are you going to follow

768
00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:46,599
Baal,

769
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:48,599
all these other pagan gods,

770
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:50,599
or are you going to follow the Lord?

771
00:25:50,599 --> 00:25:52,599
Choose you this day, whom you're going to serve.

772
00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:54,599
Joshua said that later on to the children of Israel.

773
00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:56,599
This is not very complicated.

774
00:25:56,599 --> 00:25:58,599
It's either God or the devil.

775
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:00,599
Whose report are you going to believe?

776
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:02,599
Who are you going to serve?

777
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:04,599
But Satan makes his stuff

778
00:26:04,599 --> 00:26:06,599
look so beguiling

779
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:08,599
and so seductive

780
00:26:08,599 --> 00:26:10,599
and so satisfying

781
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:12,599
in immediate

782
00:26:12,599 --> 00:26:14,599
that we don't stand

783
00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:16,599
in having done all to stand.

784
00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:18,599
Because if we don't understand

785
00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:20,599
the real wrestling match between

786
00:26:20,599 --> 00:26:22,599
what is Satan's objective here?

787
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:24,599
It is to steal, kill,

788
00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:26,599
and destroy. It is to lie,

789
00:26:26,599 --> 00:26:28,599
divide, and conquer,

790
00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:30,599
set us up in opposition to ourselves,

791
00:26:30,599 --> 00:26:32,599
turn the human race against the human race

792
00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:34,599
so that he can take our power.

793
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:36,599
Actually, he only has

794
00:26:36,599 --> 00:26:38,599
the power that we've given him.

795
00:26:38,599 --> 00:26:40,599
Because we obey him, and follow him, and worship

796
00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:42,599
him, and practice witchcraft, and

797
00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:44,599
divination, and bloodshed, and

798
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:46,599
human sacrifices, and everything else

799
00:26:46,599 --> 00:26:48,599
we do, we have given, over the course

800
00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:50,599
of time, the devil much, much power.

801
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:52,599
Now we're in a battle

802
00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:54,599
for our lives, but God is your

803
00:26:54,599 --> 00:26:56,599
refuge, a very present help in time of trouble.

804
00:26:56,599 --> 00:26:58,599
He says the righteous run into him

805
00:26:58,599 --> 00:27:00,599
and are safe. He is our strong

806
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:02,599
tower, our protection.

807
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:04,599
But the thing is, it's not

808
00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:06,599
that I deserve God's love or protection.

809
00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:08,599
I can't

810
00:27:08,599 --> 00:27:10,599
earn it, because if I can earn

811
00:27:10,599 --> 00:27:12,599
it, then that makes God's love for me

812
00:27:12,599 --> 00:27:14,599
conditional. God's love for you is unconditional.

813
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:16,599
He doesn't wait to see if you're going to

814
00:27:16,599 --> 00:27:18,599
be good. He is crying out, waiting,

815
00:27:18,599 --> 00:27:20,599
always, like the prodigal

816
00:27:20,599 --> 00:27:22,599
son's father,

817
00:27:22,599 --> 00:27:24,599
who was

818
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:26,599
there waiting at the

819
00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:28,599
end of the road to see when and how,

820
00:27:28,599 --> 00:27:30,599
he was there to embrace and receive

821
00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:32,599
his son back. But the thing is,

822
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:34,599
we have to understand that we have been,

823
00:27:34,599 --> 00:27:36,599
there's been a counterfeit gospel that's

824
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:38,599
been preached to us. It's the gospel,

825
00:27:38,599 --> 00:27:40,599
not the gospel of Jesus Christ, which

826
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:42,599
is grace and good news, and come unto

827
00:27:42,599 --> 00:27:44,599
me all ye that labor and are heavy laden. I finished

828
00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:46,599
it, and I've taken care of the law,

829
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:48,599
and you're justified through

830
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:50,599
believing that my sacrifice

831
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:52,599
paid the price. It's not that, it's that

832
00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:54,599
gospel, but it's also mixed back with the law.

833
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:56,599
Satan said, oh no,

834
00:27:56,599 --> 00:27:58,599
it's finished. Oh no, we need the law.

835
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:00,599
We have to have the law to keep controlling

836
00:28:00,599 --> 00:28:02,599
these people and making them fearful

837
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:04,599
and, you know,

838
00:28:04,599 --> 00:28:06,599
hold on to them.

839
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:08,599
And so, he

840
00:28:08,599 --> 00:28:10,599
brought the law back

841
00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:12,599
into the gospel of grace and good news.

842
00:28:12,599 --> 00:28:14,599
So now we have this mixture called

843
00:28:14,599 --> 00:28:16,599
the counterfeit gospel. When Jesus said, it is

844
00:28:16,599 --> 00:28:18,599
finished, what does that mean? I have

845
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:20,599
finished, I have satisfied, I

846
00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:22,599
have fulfilled the requirements of the law. What was

847
00:28:22,599 --> 00:28:24,599
the law, the requirement?

848
00:28:24,599 --> 00:28:26,599
The law says, the soul that sins shall die.

849
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:28,599
And so Jesus Christ died in our place,

850
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:30,599
satisfied the demands of

851
00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:32,599
sin and death, and so it is finished.

852
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:34,599
And now the law is actually

853
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:36,599
obsolete, and

854
00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:38,599
now the law has been written in our hearts, the

855
00:28:38,599 --> 00:28:40,599
law of love. It's not a law of be good and don't

856
00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:42,599
kill your neighbor, or

857
00:28:42,599 --> 00:28:44,599
murder your neighbor. The

858
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:46,599
law is, why would I want to sin? Grace

859
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:48,599
says, why would I want to sin in the first place?

860
00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:50,599
I know who I am. I'm the daughter of the

861
00:28:50,599 --> 00:28:52,599
Most High God. I love what

862
00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:54,599
God loves. I hate what God hates. I love

863
00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:56,599
truth and justice. Why would I want to sin

864
00:28:56,599 --> 00:28:58,599
against God? What you're

865
00:28:58,599 --> 00:29:00,599
saying is that God,

866
00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:02,599
the grace of God,

867
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:04,599
changes our desires. It leads

868
00:29:04,599 --> 00:29:06,599
men to repentance, the long suffering of God.

869
00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:08,599
Yeah, it leads us to repentance, but it

870
00:29:08,599 --> 00:29:10,599
changes our minds and our hearts.

871
00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:12,599
So we desire

872
00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:14,599
the will of God, we want the will of God.

873
00:29:14,599 --> 00:29:16,599
That's true in our spirits, that

874
00:29:16,599 --> 00:29:18,599
is absolutely where we're living. But we have

875
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:20,599
a double nature, because in

876
00:29:20,599 --> 00:29:22,599
our flesh, our soul,

877
00:29:22,599 --> 00:29:24,599
and our body together

878
00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:26,599
is connected, is called flesh. There's that

879
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:28,599
mind, will, and emotion. There's that

880
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:30,599
double-mindedness. There's the I think and I

881
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:32,599
feel and I don't know.

882
00:29:32,599 --> 00:29:34,599
That's a set

883
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:36,599
of software called, we call it the

884
00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:38,599
flesh, or we call it the soul

885
00:29:38,599 --> 00:29:40,599
software. Or you can walk in the spirit

886
00:29:40,599 --> 00:29:42,599
software, which is the truth about

887
00:29:42,599 --> 00:29:44,599
what's really going on. And in the

888
00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:46,599
spirit, you can know stuff, because God,

889
00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:48,599
he said, for what man knows,

890
00:29:48,599 --> 00:29:50,599
the things of a man, except the spirit of the man

891
00:29:50,599 --> 00:29:52,599
which is in him. So God is downloading to your spirit

892
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:54,599
man, stuff that you know that you know.

893
00:29:54,599 --> 00:29:56,599
And if you walk in what you know,

894
00:29:56,599 --> 00:29:58,599
I know God is good, I know he's

895
00:29:58,599 --> 00:30:00,599
for me, I know he'll never leave me or forsake

896
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:02,599
me, I know he's already won the battle, I know he

897
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:04,599
paid the price. You know a lot of stuff. You can

898
00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:06,599
start with that and not go back and, I don't

899
00:30:06,599 --> 00:30:08,599
know, I don't know, I don't know.

900
00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:10,599
And so, the grace, the

901
00:30:10,599 --> 00:30:12,599
gospel of grace and good news is the gospel of

902
00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:14,599
knowing the truth. And it's knowing the truth

903
00:30:14,599 --> 00:30:16,599
and knowing the truth is living in the

904
00:30:16,599 --> 00:30:18,599
spirit. And when you have the

905
00:30:18,599 --> 00:30:20,599
revelation of God,

906
00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:22,599
it's not, you know, it's not just

907
00:30:22,599 --> 00:30:24,599
information or education, it's

908
00:30:24,599 --> 00:30:26,599
revelation. It takes those

909
00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:28,599
aha

910
00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:30,599
moments, that aha realization

911
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:32,599
by the Holy Spirit.

912
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:34,599
You know, the

913
00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:36,599
spirit of wisdom, Paul prayed for the church

914
00:30:36,599 --> 00:30:38,599
of Ephesus that they would have the spirit of wisdom

915
00:30:38,599 --> 00:30:40,599
and revelation in the knowledge

916
00:30:40,599 --> 00:30:42,599
of Jesus Christ. So when

917
00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:44,599
you get that revelation, you

918
00:30:44,599 --> 00:30:46,599
know it. Paul got the

919
00:30:46,599 --> 00:30:48,599
revelation, the Lord

920
00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:50,599
downloaded the revelation of the gospel

921
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:52,599
to him. And

922
00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:54,599
when you get that revelation,

923
00:30:54,599 --> 00:30:56,599
you're not living in your soul

924
00:30:56,599 --> 00:30:58,599
anymore.

925
00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:00,599
You're living in your spirit

926
00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:02,599
and you just know

927
00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:04,599
stuff. The revelation gives you that

928
00:31:04,599 --> 00:31:06,599
knowing. But

929
00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:08,599
the thing is, too, is that this

930
00:31:08,599 --> 00:31:10,599
is a challenge

931
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:12,599
as believers. You know, we can

932
00:31:12,599 --> 00:31:14,599
live in the soul, mind, will, and

933
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:16,599
emotions. We just

934
00:31:16,599 --> 00:31:18,599
try to figure it out, follow it, go

935
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:20,599
by our feelings, which will

936
00:31:20,599 --> 00:31:22,599
just lead us off course, way off course.

937
00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:24,599
Or we can walk in the

938
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:26,599
spirit. And walking in the spirit

939
00:31:26,599 --> 00:31:28,599
is not just a woo-woo thing

940
00:31:28,599 --> 00:31:30,599
for the

941
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:32,599
spiritual elites

942
00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:34,599
of the Christian faith.

943
00:31:34,599 --> 00:31:36,599
It's something that's every day

944
00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:38,599
we can walk in the spirit. We can

945
00:31:38,599 --> 00:31:40,599
follow the spirit of God. The spirit

946
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:42,599
is going to

947
00:31:42,599 --> 00:31:44,599
lead us into all truth.

948
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:46,599
I just want to say this quickly.

949
00:31:46,599 --> 00:31:48,599
Some of you are old enough, you can remember

950
00:31:48,599 --> 00:31:50,599
the fold-up paper roadmaps.

951
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:52,599
That's where you

952
00:31:52,599 --> 00:31:54,599
figured out where to go and you had to figure out

953
00:31:54,599 --> 00:31:56,599
if it was upside down or not.

954
00:31:56,599 --> 00:31:58,599
But now you have GPS,

955
00:31:58,599 --> 00:32:00,599
you have all this stuff.

956
00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:02,599
They can lead you

957
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:04,599
and you just listen to

958
00:32:04,599 --> 00:32:06,599
that even if you've never

959
00:32:06,599 --> 00:32:08,599
been there before.

960
00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:10,599
You listen to that, you're dependent on that.

961
00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:12,599
You trust it and you

962
00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:14,599
follow it and you do it,

963
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:16,599
follow it right, you've got the right

964
00:32:16,599 --> 00:32:18,599
destination programmed in there.

965
00:32:18,599 --> 00:32:20,599
You're going to get there.

966
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:22,599
But you just have to listen and follow.

967
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:24,599
But that's like the Holy Ghost.

968
00:32:24,599 --> 00:32:26,599
The Holy Ghost is a Holy Ghost

969
00:32:26,599 --> 00:32:28,599
guidance system inside of you, the Holy Spirit.

970
00:32:28,599 --> 00:32:30,599
It's like our GPS.

971
00:32:30,599 --> 00:32:32,599
The thing is, Jesus didn't

972
00:32:32,599 --> 00:32:34,599
say, he just said follow me.

973
00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:36,599
He didn't say figure it all out.

974
00:32:36,599 --> 00:32:38,599
He didn't say you've got to be perfect.

975
00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:40,599
So again,

976
00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:42,599
let us understand that this

977
00:32:42,599 --> 00:32:44,599
is a war, that the enemy

978
00:32:44,599 --> 00:32:46,599
is trying to make God look bad.

979
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:48,599
He's trying to make sin look good.

980
00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:50,599
He's trying to make you look bad.

981
00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:52,599
He's trying to get you to take the blame.

982
00:32:52,599 --> 00:32:54,599
So when you sin, because the Bible says in 1 John,

983
00:32:54,599 --> 00:32:56,599
when you sin, don't say

984
00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:58,599
you haven't sinned. When you sin, confess your sin.

985
00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:00,599
So when we fall, get tricked

986
00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:02,599
and do something that's inappropriate

987
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:04,599
for our daughter or son of the Most High God,

988
00:33:04,599 --> 00:33:06,599
confess it, humble yourself

989
00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:08,599
and say, God have mercy upon me.

990
00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:10,599
Please remove from me this

991
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:12,599
demonic judgment, this fear, this pain.

992
00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:14,599
I ask, you already

993
00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:16,599
paid the price. Jesus is

994
00:33:16,599 --> 00:33:18,599
willing to pay the price for your rescue

995
00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:20,599
again and again and again. So Lord God,

996
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:22,599
we ask for the revelation of Jesus

997
00:33:22,599 --> 00:33:24,599
Christ to each one today.

998
00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:26,599
Those that you give us

999
00:33:26,599 --> 00:33:28,599
comfort in reading

1000
00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,599
your word, draw us into

1001
00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:32,599
the revelation of your Holy Word.

1002
00:33:32,599 --> 00:33:34,599
So many of us are looking to other people

1003
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:36,599
for prophetic words or

1004
00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:38,599
opinions or sermons

1005
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:40,599
or whatever all that is. Please, Lord God,

1006
00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:42,599
teach us to eat for ourselves

1007
00:33:42,599 --> 00:33:44,599
out of the word of God by the power of your

1008
00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:46,599
Holy Spirit and spend time

1009
00:33:46,599 --> 00:33:48,599
listening to you being quiet

1010
00:33:48,599 --> 00:33:50,599
so that you can download the revelation

1011
00:33:50,599 --> 00:33:52,599
of your love and your wisdom, that we won't

1012
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:54,599
be scattered and anxious. And those

1013
00:33:54,599 --> 00:33:56,599
who are being tormented by demonic judgments

1014
00:33:56,599 --> 00:33:58,599
right now in the name of Jesus Christ, I command

1015
00:33:58,599 --> 00:34:00,599
that those lies be exposed

1016
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:02,599
and that you will bring

1017
00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:04,599
to your people the revelation of your love,

1018
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:06,599
truth, and freedom, that they do not have to

1019
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:08,600
walk in a snare or be held

1020
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,600
in the grip of the terrible one. Father, release

1021
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,600
your people from the programming

1022
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,600
and the trauma and the

1023
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,600
lies and the treachery of the evil

1024
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,600
one. Release them now into the

1025
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,600
fullness of freedom, joy, peace

1026
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,600
and the revelation that they

1027
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,600
are loved because they belong

1028
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,600
to you. Amen.

1029
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,600
Amen. Hey, you know what?

1030
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,600
I was just thinking of a really good book

1031
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,600
that would be very helpful to our

1032
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,600
listeners. What would that be? And it's a book

1033
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,600
by Marjorie Cole. Oh, can you imagine?

1034
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,600
It's called A Case for Justice.

1035
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,600
Do you know anything about that one?

1036
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,600
Yes, I know that you can find it on Amazon.com

1037
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,600
and I know it is a

1038
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,600
really, really good book and it

1039
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,600
grapples with and takes

1040
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,600
apart. Tough issues like this.

1041
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,600
Yeah, exactly. And it's kind of a

1042
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,600
line by line, so you go to the back, you

1043
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,600
understand the parameters of it, you

1044
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,600
understand why, how temptation

1045
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,600
works, how agreement with

1046
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,600
sin works. There's a lot of stuff

1047
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,600
in there and so I just, yeah,

1048
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,600
A Case for Justice for those

1049
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,600
of you who are so tempted to get

1050
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,600
mad when things aren't fair because that's

1051
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,600
another temptation. God is

1052
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,600
the God of justice. He's going to make everything

1053
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,600
right in the end and so in the meantime,

1054
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,600
let him work

1055
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,600
for you and show

1056
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,600
up in court and petition the high court

1057
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,600
through forgiveness to ask God

1058
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,600
to deliver you from the demonic judgments

1059
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,600
that the enemies put upon you.

1060
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,600
And so,

1061
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,600
I know this is good, it's a lot

1062
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,600
and there's more, so get the book, A Case for Justice.

1063
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,600
Amen.

1064
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,600
You'll be glad you did.

1065
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,600
I have an emergency.

1066
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,600
What is your location?

1067
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,600
...

1068
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,600
...

1069
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,600
...

1070
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,600
...

1071
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,600
...

1072
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,600
...

1073
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,600
...

1074
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,600
...

1075
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,600
...

1076
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,600
...

1077
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,600
Rescue Radio

1078
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,600
because there's a war for your soul.
