There's something God's given her. 191 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:02.240 That's hers. 192 00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:08.240 We watch your kids, we train your children, and McKinley 193 00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.600 has fire in her bones. And I'm just telling you 194 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:13.679 she has fire in a bone. She has a calling 195 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:15.639 of God on her life. That doesn't mean she has 196 00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:17.960 to be a pastor's wife. It just means she has 197 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.159 to follow hard after God. Okay, but McKinley can take 198 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.759 a nation, and so we need to steward that. And 199 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.440 when I mean a nation, it doesn't mean she has 200 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.320 to go overseas. It means God's given her a responsibility 201 00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:33.480 for area of her life where she takes on and 202 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.919 presents the Kingdom of God in that area. And so 203 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:39.519 both she and her brother. Her brother has a very 204 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.759 sweet sensitive I mean, he's strong and you know, and 205 00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.759 has fire. But I personally have taught McKinley. So when 206 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:54.840 I saw her coming out of that waterless, so I 207 00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:01.639 will be good, Mark just said I could be bad. 208 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:02.440 Did y'all hear that? 209 00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:03.399 He said, no way? 210 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.039 So that gives me license for something I don't know, 211 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.759 but I'm gonna exploit that at some point this week. 212 00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:17.679 Hot Dog. That was an early Valentine gift. I want 213 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:22.960 to thank you women for coming to our encounter soaking time. 214 00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.720 We are going to be doing that once a month, 215 00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:29.360 this second Friday every month is what is a soaking time? 216 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:33.759 Why is it the word soaking? I discovered that I 217 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:38.279 hear God when I unplug from everything and I purposely 218 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:42.600 focus on getting into His presence. And what makes it 219 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.720 fun is I have other friends that like God too. 220 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.840 That's nice, you know what I'm saying. And so what 221 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.080 we do is we just take some time as friends 222 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.600 and you don't have to know me personally to come. 223 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.200 You just come and we put on some music. We 224 00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:02.519 are introduced seeing a different artist every month so that 225 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:06.000 you know what's available out there. And what we do 226 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.759 is we just all get comfortable. The rule is you 227 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.320 can't talk to one another. That it doesn't work if 228 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.840 you're talking to one another, and that's that's some for 229 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:18.600 some of us, that's a sacrifice. But we just get 230 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:23.559 quiet and we listen and God births things in your spirit. 231 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:28.000 My hearts cry for us this year is learning as 232 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:34.879 women to be a voice, not an echo. God gives 233 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.720 you a word and you don't have to mimic someone 234 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.440 else's word. It's good. I'll mimic some you know someone 235 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.399 God speaks to their heart. I will say maybe what 236 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:45.200 they're saying because it really spoke to me. But I 237 00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:50.039 want my own word. And so this this time encourages 238 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.279 you to hear God for yourself, to write it down 239 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.799 and then if you would like to agree in prayer, 240 00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:58.440 we're there for that. If not, you just go on 241 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.679 your way. But it's it's discipline on us, disciplining us 242 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.000 to separate ourself and as friends get together in the 243 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:09.039 presence of God and listen. So I challenge you. All 244 00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.279 hell will break out to keep you from coming, but 245 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:16.120 I challenge you to come. It's just a wonderful time. Also, 246 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.440 if you want to write this down, please tag you're it. 247 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.840 I don't want anybody gripen at me. Wings of Refuge 248 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.799 is coming. It's in the bulletin. Yes, Wings of Refuge 249 00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:31.600 is coming Thursday the twenty second. So if you are interested, 250 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:38.480 I would encourage you to. Oh did I say Wednesday, Well, 251 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.440 that's why you do the finances in our house, because 252 00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:46.840 I I think I need to go on Thursday the 253 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.960 twenty second. And real quick, let me give you a 254 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.200 scripture that we're going to pray. Someone walked in this 255 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:54.759 building wanting to hear the voice of God this morning, 256 00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:59.000 wondering if what you brought to God's house is enough? 257 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.559 And you need to hear this. This is Psalms twenty five, 258 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:08.799 verse four. Lord, direct me throughout my journey so I 259 00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:13.320 can experience your plans for my life. Reveal the life 260 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:17.639 paths that are pleasing to you, Escort me along the way, 261 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:20.000 take me by the hand, and teach me, Oh God 262 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.840 of my increasing salvation. I've wrapped my heart into yours. 263 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.639 What you brought today is enough. Just settle that in 264 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:34.840 your heart and just do this to God. Don't think 265 00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:37.600 that you've got to be so clean that no one 266 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:43.720 don't just say I'm yours, Bob Bobo's warts and all, 267 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:46.679 I'm yours this morning, So put your hand over your heart. 268 00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:51.799 God said, in your weakness, He's made strong. Sometimes we 269 00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.320 want to show off and say how strong we are 270 00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:56.360 in the spirit, and that's not how the Kingdom of 271 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.960 God works. We have to humble ourself and just be 272 00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:02.080 broken in a good way for Him so that He 273 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.120 can shine out through us. Father, this morning, I just 274 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:08.519 lift up my family before you, and for everybody that's 275 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.039 fighting sickness in their home, I just apply the blood 276 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.480 of Jesus. Father, I just pray Father, for people that 277 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.759 aren't here today because of illness. I ask for a 278 00:16:17.799 --> 00:16:21.120 healing touch in their body. In Jesus' name, Father, I 279 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:25.240 thank you for financial breakthrough for families today. I thank 280 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.600 you Father for miracles this week. 281 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.000 Father. 282 00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.159 Father, I'm asking in Jesus' name that your hand would 283 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:36.039 be mighty and strong Father upon this body here today. Father, 284 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.519 I asked that you would establish the work of our 285 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.159 hands as we look to you, Father to teach us 286 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.240 how to walk. Father, you are a mighty God. We 287 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.799 love you with all our hearts, and we thank you 288 00:16:46.919 --> 00:16:49.000 in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. 289 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:55.360 Amen, Come on, let's give the Lord a handclap again. Yeah, 290 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:59.120 we're going to allow the children to wow, children to 291 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:04.359 go to c in the back and am I doing 292 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:07.200 something wrong or whatever? And if I can have my 293 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.200 friends in the back, put the lights on over me, 294 00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:13.039 that'll help tremendously. Yeah, I'll be of actually see glory 295 00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.079 rest of us. Take your bible, hold it up. Let's 296 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:19.960 declare who we are. Am I you ready? This is 297 00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.160 my Bible. It is the standard I live my life by. 298 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.839 I am a spiritfuled believer. Sustained by my personal relationship 299 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:31.640 with the Lord, empowered by my commitment to community and 300 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:37.279 express throughout reach to others. Therefore I can't say and 301 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:42.960 all right, hey, take your bulletin and flip it over. 302 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:50.440 We began the year talking about the blessed life and 303 00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:53.759 did a series really all through January dealing with finances. 304 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.519 Having done that in quite some time, we're to keep 305 00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:00.480 this theme the blessed life really kind of through the year. 306 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:05.240 But we're transitioning now to freedom. How many know God 307 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:09.559 wants you free, no bondage in your life. So last 308 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.440 week we had Chad's Hope and you got to literally 309 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:17.039 watch men sing and worship and share testimony of how 310 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.799 God has set them free from bondage in the processes 311 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.400 setting them free from bondage, and I hope it was 312 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:26.480 a real encouragement to you, especially if anyf you are 313 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.240 dealing with an area or you have a loved one 314 00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:31.319 dealing with that. There was a lot of ministry at 315 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.119 the end, very very good time of ministry to people. 316 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.519 So it's a very very real thing. But today we're 317 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:42.440 transitioning this looking at freedom. So turn your bulletin over, 318 00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:43.759 because let me tell you what we're going to talk 319 00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:49.640 about today. We're gonna be talking about demons today. Okay. 320 00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.559 It's a real thing. Are you with me? Okay? And 321 00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:57.160 let me tell you something. It's very important for you 322 00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.720 to be here. Satan does not want you to hear 323 00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.640 the series because I'm going to take scripture. I'm spending 324 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.160 a lot of time to bring this alife to you, Okay, 325 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:13.559 because often believers can be in bondage and people get 326 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:16.319 all caught up in well, are they possessed or this? 327 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.599 I'm gonna help talk about that today. But if you 328 00:19:20.839 --> 00:19:26.400 are in bondage, you need to be free period. And 329 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.400 demons can influence you to stay in an area of 330 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.119 bondage or a loved one. So I really want you 331 00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:35.839 to pay attention. I want you to take these scriptures 332 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.759 and go home and study it. Don't take my word, 333 00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:42.480 I want you to take God's word. So as I share, 334 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:48.119 listen and let's be open to what God wants to do. Amen. See, 335 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.319 when the thief is caught, he loses and he has 336 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:57.319 to restore sevenfold. Now, somebody ought to get excited about that. 337 00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:01.240 That's in Proverbs chapter six. And many believers are not 338 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:04.599 free indeed, because they do not believe they can be 339 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:08.599 in bondage. And when Jesus makes this statement, there's a 340 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.400 theme verse we're going to use through this whole teaching 341 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:14.359 for about five weeks, and then we're going to transition 342 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.319 into Easter time. Can you believe it'll be right around 343 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.240 the corner, But take several weeks and just deal with 344 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:23.839 the resurrection Easter. I want everybody have a real understanding. 345 00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:27.240 So you bring the lost on East Sunday. But John 346 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.599 A thirty six, Therefore, if the sun makes you free, 347 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:32.640 or if you allow the Son to make you free, 348 00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:38.920 you shall be free indeed, And everyone says amen, And 349 00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:44.119 he's talking. Jesus is talking to Jews here verse thirty one, 350 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:49.759 who believed in him. He's talking to believers. He's not 351 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.680 saying that to the lost. So is it possible for 352 00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.480 a believer to be in bondage? We're going to answer 353 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.359 that you've already answered. Can a Christian personally deal with 354 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.440 a demon or have one steal somehow possessed sing an 355 00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:06.599 area of their life. We're going to look at that today. 356 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.920 So I think it's all ears today because I think 357 00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:12.079 all of us have dealt with this in some fashion 358 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:14.759 of farm the main areas of scripture we're going to 359 00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.039 be in or Mark. So we ahead and turned to Mark, 360 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.400 and then towards the end we'll look a little bit 361 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:21.000 in Luke. There's going to be a bunch of other 362 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.920 scriptures come up, and the main things we're going to 363 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.039 look at today or Mark and Luke. So here we 364 00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:30.079 go Mark chapter five, verse one and two, when they 365 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.839 talking about Jesus and his disciples came to the other 366 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.599 side of the sea, to the country of the Gallerines. 367 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:41.319 And when he had come out of the boat, immediately 368 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.559 there met him out of the tombs, a man with 369 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.039 an unclean spirit. This is one of the ways the 370 00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:53.480 Bibles referred to a demon. Other gospels say he was naked, 371 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:59.440 he was wild verse three. This man possessed by the enemy, 372 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.240 with an unco spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs. 373 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:07.039 And no one could bind him, not even with chains, 374 00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.440 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, 375 00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.359 and the chains had been pulled apart by him, and 376 00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:20.200 the shackles broken in pieces. Neither could anyone tame him. 377 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:25.039 And always night and day he was in the mountains 378 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:29.319 and the tombs, crying out. He was wanting help, he 379 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:35.200 was wanting help and cutting himself with stones verse six. 380 00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:40.119 But when he saw Jesus from Afar, he ran and 381 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:45.759 what worshiped him proskinneo in the Greek, and it means 382 00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:51.799 he bowed down, He truly worshiped God. Verse seven. And 383 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:54.680 he out cried out with a loud voice and said, 384 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.440 what have I to do with you? Jesus? Now let 385 00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:02.079 me shift this here a little bit. This isn't the 386 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:03.920 man now yelling this out, and you'll see why in 387 00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:08.200 a moment. This is actually the demon's spirit talking through 388 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.039 the man, and you'll see why. Okay, what I have 389 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:13.640 to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God, 390 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:18.799 I implore you by God that you do not torment me. 391 00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:21.519 That would be not the It wouldn't be the man, 392 00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.960 because Jesus didn't come to torment people. Okay, he came 393 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.400 to help people. So that's the demon speaking through this 394 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:34.279 man verse eight. For he Jesus had already said this, 395 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:38.640 and that's why verse seven was said, For Jesus had said, 396 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.880 come out of the man, unclean spirit. So really that 397 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:46.200 could have even been before verse seven. So Jesus already 398 00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:49.200 said this, and the man replies or excuse me, the 399 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.519 spirit within the man, what do I have to do 400 00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:55.839 with you? Please don't torment me. Verse nine. Then he 401 00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.240
