Speaker 1: Let's stand in prayer with the word. Father, we thank
Speaker 1: you for writing on our hearts today that you've come.
Speaker 1: You've come to write on our hearts, and we welcome you,
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, write on our hearts right on
Speaker 1: our wash us with the water the word, align our
Speaker 1: thoughts and our thinking, renew us, renew us by the word,
Speaker 1: lift our eyes, our countenants and our hope. We thank
Speaker 1: you for it in Jesus' name. And everybody said, Amen,
Speaker 1: this is a week of prayer, and I want you.
Speaker 1: I want you on board with me in prayer all week. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then we have you know, our focused time. There's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, right,
Speaker 1: is that right? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. So, and then I
Speaker 1: want you to come to those evening meetings, whether you're
Speaker 1: fasting or not, if you can't fast, or if anything
Speaker 1: is preventing you from fasting, or if you can't fast
Speaker 1: every meal or whatever you're doing, just come and be
Speaker 1: a part of the prayer anyway. And I want you
Speaker 1: to continue in prayer with me this week. Today, I
Speaker 1: want to start in Matthew seventeen and just declare over
Speaker 1: this generation that it's not hopeless, it's not hopeless. This
Speaker 1: generation is not a hopeless generation. Matthew seventeen fourteen. When
Speaker 1: they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus,
Speaker 1: falling on his knees before him and saying, Lord, have
Speaker 1: mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and
Speaker 1: is very ill. For he often falls into the fire
Speaker 1: and often into the water, so like he's thrown into
Speaker 1: those things. So this is spiritual oppression on this sun.
Speaker 1: I brought him to your disciples, and they could not
Speaker 1: cure him, or he him, or dismiss drive out the enemy.
Speaker 1: And Jesus answered and said, you unbelieving in perverted generation,
Speaker 1: how long shall I be with you? How long shall
Speaker 1: I put up with you? Bring him here to me.
Speaker 1: I think he might have been talking to, you know,
Speaker 1: not only the crowd, but talking to the disciples. It's
Speaker 1: kind of a bit of a rebuke, but it was
Speaker 1: also an insightful observance and instructional observance over the generation
Speaker 1: that he's living in. So this, this generation that he's
Speaker 1: living in, was a very fallen, unbelieving generation. So Malachi
Speaker 1: was the last prophet of the Old Covenant, the Old Testament.
Speaker 1: We've got a four hundred year period of silence, and
Speaker 1: then Jesus comes on the scene and Galatians Force says,
Speaker 1: it's at the fullness of time that he comes and
Speaker 1: the belief of the children of Israel. So these are
Speaker 1: these are the Israel Israelite, Israelite people, the Jewish people,
Speaker 1: and the disciples who were of Jewish descent, and yeah,
Speaker 1: and so this is supposed to be a believing generation.
Speaker 1: This is supposed to be a believing people. But he
Speaker 1: found them to be unbelieving. He found them to be
Speaker 1: burdened with doubt, distrust and unbelieved. So he, you know,
Speaker 1: he confronts that and he calls it a generation. So
Speaker 1: there's a whole generation. It's like we're dealing with the
Speaker 1: generation right now, the end of the world. We don't
Speaker 1: live in an isolated world. The stuff that's going on here,
Speaker 1: it's going on in Europe, it's going on in Germany,
Speaker 1: it's going on in Africa, it's going on in India,
Speaker 1: it's going on, you know, so much of the darkness
Speaker 1: it's going on globally, meaning that it's generational in its pact,
Speaker 1: it's generational in its influence. And they too, were living
Speaker 1: in a day where it was an unbelieving generation. It
Speaker 1: wasn't just isolated, it was a global situation. Jesus rebuked
Speaker 1: the devil, and the demon came out of him, and
Speaker 1: the boy was cured at once. And then the disciples
Speaker 1: came to Jesus privately and said, why could we not
Speaker 1: drive it out? Everybody say drive it out. So demons
Speaker 1: have to be driven out. We're going to get to that.
Speaker 1: More demons have to be driven out. And he said
Speaker 1: to them, because of the smallness or the littleness of
Speaker 1: your faith. For truly, I say to you, if you
Speaker 1: have faith the size of a mustard seed. So they
Speaker 1: didn't even have faith the size of a mustard seed.
Speaker 1: This is interesting. Now you have to understand this is
Speaker 1: before the death and the resurrection of Jesus, so the
Speaker 1: disciples were not born again. There were dispensations, small dispensations
Speaker 1: where he gave them, like in Luke chapter ten, he
Speaker 1: gave them his authority and sent them out two by
Speaker 1: two that they might heal. But in this situation, he's
Speaker 1: bringing to mind that those who weren't able to drive
Speaker 1: out this spirit. Part of the problem was a lack
Speaker 1: of faith. So and the lack of faith was due
Speaker 1: to the failure or the lack of being born of
Speaker 1: the spirit, which is not a problem in this room
Speaker 1: this morning.
Speaker 2: Hello, some money.
Speaker 1: So it's just kind of interesting to think about because
Speaker 1: he says, because of the smallness of your faith. For truly,
Speaker 1: if you have the faith the size of a mustard seed,
Speaker 1: you will say to this mountain, move from here to there,
Speaker 1: and it will move. So faith, which is the indwelling
Speaker 1: word of God. And the mustard seed he's talking about,
Speaker 1: is the seed of the Word of God within you,
Speaker 1: which is the witness of Jesus, the living Word within
Speaker 1: you gives you the grace, the power, the enablement to
Speaker 1: not only speak to mountains, but to speak to demons
Speaker 1: and to ecbollow them. That's the word in the Greek,
Speaker 1: to drive them out, to cast them out. So, because
Speaker 1: of the smallness of your faith, and he says, if
Speaker 1: you have faith the size of a mustard seed, then
Speaker 1: you can speak to this mountain, you will move and nothing,
Speaker 1: everybody say nothing, nothing will be impossible to you. So
Speaker 1: we know that faith is always interrelated to a word
Speaker 1: from God or the word of God, and Romans ten
Speaker 1: seventeen says faith comes by hearing the word, but not
Speaker 1: just hearing the word, but comes by the quickened word
Speaker 1: of God. And we know that the word for word
Speaker 1: therein Romans ten seventeen is rama, not logos. So it
Speaker 1: means when the Holy Spirit quickens a word to you,
Speaker 1: quickens his word to you, it ignites, it awakens, it
Speaker 1: imparts faith within you so that you can do even
Speaker 1: things or bring forth things that otherwise would seem impossible.
Speaker 1: And certainly for these guys, casting out demons would be impossible,
Speaker 1: so they needed this quickening of faith. And then he
Speaker 1: goes on to say, but this kind does not go
Speaker 1: out except by prayer and fasting. So I wanted you
Speaker 1: to see this though. I wanted you to see that
Speaker 1: this was a generational problem, that unbelief was permeating the generation.
Speaker 1: So this wasn't just a disciple problem. It wasn't just
Speaker 1: if it was if the twelve were there at that moment.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just the twelve who had a problem. He's
Speaker 1: speaking over the generation. But then he's also releasing understanding
Speaker 1: to them that they would have received later that oh,
Speaker 1: when faith comes, we'll be able to handle this stuff.
Speaker 1: When faith comes, we'll be able to address even problems
Speaker 1: that are affecting our generation, because the whole generation was
Speaker 1: under a cloud, a big wet blanket of unbelief. And
Speaker 1: with the whole generation under this cloud of unbelief, then
Speaker 1: the whole generation was held in a spell under darkness.
Speaker 1: But when faith would come, when faith would come, and
Speaker 1: it came to them over the day where he breathed
Speaker 1: on them John chapter twenty twenty through twenty two. It
Speaker 1: says he breathed on them, And when he breathed on them,
Speaker 1: he said, receive the Holy Spirit. And then he told them,
Speaker 1: whoever sends you, remit or forgive. They are forgiven. And
Speaker 1: then he said, as the Father sent me, so send
Speaker 1: I you. This is John chapter twenty twenty through twenty two.
Speaker 1: So there was a day when faith came to them,
Speaker 1: after the resurrection from the dead. They were quickened with faith,
Speaker 1: and then they knew something. They knew, Oh, I can
Speaker 1: make a difference in my generation. This generation will not
Speaker 1: be the same. They knew, this generation will not be
Speaker 1: the same. Holy Spirit has quickened us. This generation will
Speaker 1: not be the same. Do we know that today in
Speaker 1: this room, your generation is not meant to be the same.
Speaker 1: Now you might have been hopeless. Before you came to
Speaker 1: the Lord, you might have been going downstream or along
Speaker 1: with the stream of this generation and the culture dominating
Speaker 1: this generation before you came to the Lord.
Speaker 2: But when the Holy.
Speaker 1: Spirit came to live in you, regardless of what you've
Speaker 1: heard in any church anywhere, or any theology spoken to
Speaker 1: you out of some commentary, radio show, television preacher, or
Speaker 1: anything else, the Word of God says you now have
Speaker 1: indwelling hope over your generation. You now have in dwelling
Speaker 1: hope over your generation. You're no longer going along with
Speaker 1: the perversion or the unbelief of the generation. But you
Speaker 1: are a flame, ignititer of faith to this generation. We've
Speaker 1: got one guy up here in church, the rest of
Speaker 1: you or somewhere else, I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: I'm preaching him happy. The rest of you are stretching ears,
Speaker 1: checking thoses out. I don't know what in the world.
Speaker 1: Bumps somebody and see if they're awake.
Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
Speaker 1: I hope the television audience is doing better than this.
Speaker 1: Follow the lead up here, Just follow the lead, follow
Speaker 1: the leader right here in the white, in the white
Speaker 1: of your own television. Come on, somebody, it's called eviction.
Speaker 2: It's called eviction.
Speaker 1: They got a revelation that when faith comes, we will
Speaker 1: have the power to evict the power of the enemy.
Speaker 1: When faith comes, we will have the power to evict
Speaker 1: the power of the enemy. And this is what Jesus
Speaker 1: was doing. You've heard me talk about this before. Thirty
Speaker 1: three percent of his ministry was deliverance ministry. One percent
Speaker 1: of the modern churches ministry is deliverance ministry. Maybe two.
Speaker 1: On a good day. We're afraid to talk about the devil.
Speaker 1: Let alone talk to him. Hello, we're afraid to talk
Speaker 1: about him. Let alone talk to him. But you've been
Speaker 1: given all authority over all darkness.
Speaker 2: You have been given.
Speaker 1: Authority over all serpents and scorpions and all the power
Speaker 1: of the devil. Bump somebody on that one. You've been
Speaker 1: given authority. Oh yeah, that's a good bump, right there,
Speaker 1: Come on, somebody. And so Jesus did a lot of this, right,
Speaker 1: A lot of his ministry was evicting the enemy. A
Speaker 1: lot of his ministry. And the word is ekbalo, the
Speaker 1: word is ikmollow. Let's see if I've got an echabollo
Speaker 1: thing back here, Mark one thirty two. When the evening
Speaker 1: came and the sun had set, they began bringing to
Speaker 1: him all who were ill, and those who were demon
Speaker 1: possessed were demon eyed. And the whole city had gathered
Speaker 1: at the door, and he healed many who were ill
Speaker 1: with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and cast
Speaker 1: out many demons. His ministry to the individual was illustrating
Speaker 1: how a generation can be changed. His ministry on a
Speaker 1: micro's scale was illustrating how a macro causm can be changed.
Speaker 1: And it was changed from city to city, from nation
Speaker 1: to nation.
Speaker 2: There was a great.
Speaker 1: Revolution that started after the Resurrection, where Jesus and the
Speaker 1: Word of God and the power of the spirit were
Speaker 1: taking dominion and taking over, and demons were sent scattering
Speaker 1: Luke six seventeen. Jesus came down to them and stood
Speaker 1: on a level place, and over the large crowd and
Speaker 1: a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem
Speaker 1: in the coastal region of Tire and Sidon, who had
Speaker 1: come to hear him and behal of their diseases, and
Speaker 1: those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being delivered, cured,
Speaker 1: set free, healed, ministered to liberated this was commonplace. All
Speaker 1: you have to do is look around for about two minutes,
Speaker 1: and you will see. Our generation is demonized. Our generation
Speaker 1: is demonized. Why are you here. You must be here
Speaker 1: for some reason. You must be here for some purpose.
Speaker 1: You must be here, not to yield to the fate
Speaker 1: or the discouragement or the influence of the generation, but
Speaker 1: rather to confront the influence of the generation. Follow is
Speaker 1: the word cast ech bollow is the Greek word. It's
Speaker 1: a compound word ech meaning out and ballow, meaning to throw,
Speaker 1: to throw out, to evict, and meaning to throw out
Speaker 1: with force, even violently, to drive out, to expel. This
Speaker 1: is part of why we keep pressure on the enemy,
Speaker 1: part of why we keep pressure on anything dark, anything perverse,
Speaker 1: anything unclean, anything that torments you, or anything that torments
Speaker 1: your family, anything that torments our city, our community, our government,
Speaker 1: our nation. The reason we're keeping pressure on it is
Speaker 1: because this is the only thing the unclean realm understands.
Speaker 1: Is authority expressed with constant pressure, confronting, driving, dismissing, yes,
Speaker 1: pushing with force, by force.
Speaker 2: Pushing it out.
Speaker 1: And this is the way, this is, this is the
Speaker 1: only thing that demons understand. And you just I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've if you've, if you've ever you know,
Speaker 1: like I've talked to you a little bit about our
Speaker 1: situation here. We had the neighbors trying to steal ten
Speaker 1: feet of our property in nineteen ninety nine and they
Speaker 1: were using it for gardening and they said they'd used
Speaker 1: it for ten years and so it was their property.
Speaker 1: So we found aerial photographs and we found the old
Speaker 1: fence posts, and you know, we were able to prove
Speaker 1: that it wasn't their property, and so we won in
Speaker 1: the court of law. This went to the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: of Washington and it's used for case law today if
Speaker 1: you're training for law school. By the way, kind of
Speaker 1: a fun thing you're going to read about New Horizon
Speaker 1: Christian Center. We've talked to you about evictions where you know,
Speaker 1: we've had rentals or homes, and you know what happens
Speaker 1: in an eviction situation is you've got somebody that doesn't
Speaker 1: want to leave. In this situation, they weren't going to
Speaker 1: give up the property. So we had to drive them
Speaker 1: off of the property through legal means, through through prayer,
Speaker 1: and through legal means, through spiritual rebuke, and through legal
Speaker 1: means we had to drive them off of our property,
Speaker 1: and after about a year and a half we prevailed.
Speaker 1: After about eighteen months, we prevailed. After about eighteen months
Speaker 1: and probably seventy thousand dollars we prevailed. What I'm trying
Speaker 1: to say is it might take some time for you
Speaker 1: to get your victories. It might take some expense for
Speaker 1: you to get your victories. It might take some pressure
Speaker 1: for you to get your victories. It might take constant
Speaker 1: pressure for you to get your victories. How about our nation?
Speaker 1: Do we care about our nation? How long are we
Speaker 1: going to rise up and persevere, confront resist, stand our ground,
Speaker 1: make our voice known in our generation? How long are
Speaker 1: we going to do that? We're going to do it
Speaker 1: for a week. We're going to do it for a month.
Speaker 1: We're going to do it for two months. Should we
Speaker 1: go after this thing for six months? Are we going
Speaker 1: to apply the pressure of a superior authority until we
Speaker 1: push the enemy out of his territory? By the way,
Speaker 1: it's his territory. It's not just our territory. It's our
Speaker 1: territory only because we are joint heirs with him. Romans
Speaker 1: eight says that he is the heir of the earth.
Speaker 1: That the earth was promised to Abraham and that Jesus.
Speaker 1: This is Galatians three and four. Romans Chapter four. The
Speaker 1: earth was promised to Abraham, and Jesus is the seed
Speaker 1: of Abraham, the miracle son that was the true seed
Speaker 1: of Abraham, only foreshadowed by Isaac, but fulfilled in Jesus.
Speaker 1: Jesus becomes the seed of Abraham and the heir of
Speaker 1: the Earth. Romans for Romans eight. I'm sorry. Romanse Ad
Speaker 1: says we are joint heirs with him. The reason the
Speaker 1: earth is mine is not just because I was born
Speaker 1: here or live here. It's because it was given to Jesus,
Speaker 1: and I'm a joint heir with him. This is important
Speaker 1: when we think about our position, we think about politics,
Speaker 1: we think about government. By the way, this is voting week.
Speaker 1: I think by Tuesday you have to have your ballots in.
Speaker 1: You might have already signed them. In the sentiment I
Speaker 1: hope you did. I hope you're voting. Because voting is
Speaker 1: actually deliverance ministry. Voting is actually ecbalo. Voting is actually
Speaker 1: casting out those who want to be in office but
Speaker 1: shouldn't be, those who want to assert an influence, but
Speaker 1: shouldn't assert an influence. So with our vote, we drive
Speaker 1: them out. With our vote, we dismiss them out of
Speaker 1: the government. With our vote, we say not in my town,
Speaker 1: not in my city, not in my county. So it's
Speaker 1: important that you vote. Hello, you still have time. I
Speaker 1: hope you're voting. Demons have to be driven out. Unclean
Speaker 1: influences have to be driven out, and this is it's
Speaker 1: like we have to realize that it's super important that
Speaker 1: we stand with Jesus, who is the heir of the earth.
Speaker 1: I think sometimes we have a little bit of confusion
Speaker 1: about this and maybe I don't know. I will take
Speaker 1: a moment. Okay, I'll take a moment. I'll take a moment.
Speaker 1: I want to take a moment on this and maybe
Speaker 1: potentially clear up a little bit of confusion. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing is that, like Romans thirteen, Romans thirteen says
Speaker 1: that the government is the minister of God. So that
Speaker 1: means any government that is not in alignment with Jesus
Speaker 1: is a false minister of God. We should only want
Speaker 1: in government those who agree with Romans thirteen that the
Speaker 1: government is ordained to be a minister.
Speaker 2: Of God.
Speaker 1: Of good for the people. And of terror for those
Speaker 1: who do evil. So the government is a minister of God.
Speaker 1: So in Jesus, the last atom, has been elevated to
Speaker 1: the throne of God, to the right hand of the throne,
Speaker 1: not in his deity, but in his manhood. So him
Speaker 1: who has inherited the earth, he inherited the earth as
Speaker 1: the fulfillment of the seed of Abraham. Him who has
Speaker 1: inherited the earth is not Jesus in his divinity, is
Speaker 1: Jesus in his manhood, even as he sits by the
Speaker 1: Father on the right hand of the throne. We have
Speaker 1: to realize that it's most important for us to see
Speaker 1: him in both dimensions. We have to see him in
Speaker 1: his divinity, meaning he has the power to bring about
Speaker 1: what is his, but we have to see him in
Speaker 1: his manhood because it's his manhood and the fulfillment of
Speaker 1: his perfection in his manhood that gives him.
Speaker 2: The right to rule over the earth.
Speaker 1: He has inherited the earth, and he's bought back the earth. Now,
Speaker 1: typically you only evict somebody that is possessing something illegally. Hello,
Speaker 1: somebody if they haven't paid for it, if they don't
Speaker 1: own it, if it doesn't belong to them. Are you
Speaker 1: hearing me? If they don't own it, if they haven't
Speaker 1: bought it, if they haven't paid for it, then.
Speaker 2: It's not theirs.
Speaker 1: Therefore, whoever owns it has the right and the authority
Speaker 1: to evict them. Well, Satan doesn't own the earth. Satan
Speaker 1: does not own the earth. Satan does not own the earth.
Speaker 1: Satan didn't purchase the earth. He only usurp to Adam's
Speaker 1: authority to gain.
Speaker 2: That which he had.
Speaker 1: With regard to authority in the earth, he doesn't own
Speaker 1: the earth. He didn't buy the earth. He didn't earn
Speaker 1: the earth. He doesn't possess the power over the earth.
Speaker 1: Jesus purchased the earth. Jesus purchased the earth. He is
Speaker 1: the rightful owner. That's why First Corinthens fifteen forty five.
Speaker 1: It's very clear when it names in First Corinthens fifteen
Speaker 1: forty five that he's the last atom. It's with the
Speaker 1: intention that we understand something. He's the last atom. Not
Speaker 1: only that he is the beginner, the beginning, the fountain
Speaker 1: head of a new race of people, a new class
Speaker 1: of people, a new I have that one. If you
Speaker 1: want to throw it up while I'm calling those out
Speaker 1: you might see him. You want to throw up First
Speaker 1: Corinthions fifteen forty five. They need to know I'm not lying.
Speaker 1: Once in a while, a lot of times when we
Speaker 1: think of this passage, or when I'm teaching on this passage,
Speaker 1: you know, I think of it as and I talk
Speaker 1: to you about how he's the beginning of the new
Speaker 1: creation and he began a new race of humanity. But
Speaker 1: it's also important for us when we see this to recognize, Oh,
Speaker 1: God is actually saying something when he calls the Christ
Speaker 1: the last Adam, that means, by virtue of his proclamation,
Speaker 1: he's also taking note that he is also the fountain head,
Speaker 1: the owner and the beginning of that which pertains to
Speaker 1: the earth. So he has rightful ownership over the earth.
Speaker 1: So when we vote, when we pray, when we live,
Speaker 1: when we think everything we're doing, we need to be thinking.
Speaker 1: We need to be connecting the dots that Jesus is
Speaker 1: the rightful owner of the earth. Right when he tells
Speaker 1: us to not love the world, he didn't say don't
Speaker 1: love the earth. In Matthew five, he says the meek
Speaker 1: will inherit thee. The meek will inherit the Oh the
Speaker 1: meek will inherit the so he must not hate the earth.
Speaker 1: By the way, after you die, guess where you're coming
Speaker 1: back to. You're coming back to the earth. The dead
Speaker 1: in Christ will rise. Then we that remain, are you
Speaker 1: familiar with for Theescillonians four? Who are we going to
Speaker 1: meet in the clouds? Whoever's here is going to rise?
Speaker 1: You know, the dead rise? Anyway? First, Grinton's first Thessalonians four.
Speaker 1: He's bringing all of the saints back with him.
Speaker 2: Read it.
Speaker 1: They're all coming back to the They're all coming back
Speaker 1: to the earth. And his goal and his objective that
Speaker 1: he will fulfill is that Heaven will come to the earth.
Speaker 1: This is important, This is super important that you see
Speaker 1: that Satan's not in charge, but we're letting him be
Speaker 1: in charge. When a minority seizes authority and power because
Speaker 1: they've partnered with the demonic realm, should we allow that
Speaker 1: to continue?
Speaker 2: Did you hear me?
Speaker 1: When a minority seizes control, influence, and power because they've
Speaker 1: partnered with the demonic realm? Should we allow that to continue?
Speaker 1: Should we allow that to continue? Can we do something
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Because we have been empowered in our generation to confront
Speaker 1: the enemy and then you can live and not confront
Speaker 1: the enemy as a born again, spirit filled believer is
Speaker 1: to have a spirit of unbelief.
Speaker 2: That is, you've bought into the.
Speaker 1: Perversion of this generation. Somehow, you've bought into the perversion
Speaker 1: of this generation. Though you're in church, though you're a believer,
Speaker 1: though you go to church, you're hopeless and you're without
Speaker 1: faith to confront the enemy because you've bought into the
Speaker 1: unbelief that is in the generation. So maybe the first
Speaker 1: thing we need to do is rise up against the
Speaker 1: unbelief and say, you're not going to determine, You're not
Speaker 1: going to dictate, You're not going to lead or govern
Speaker 1: my life anymore. Ministry of unbelief, get out of me.
Speaker 1: Ministry of distrust of God, distrust of God, leave me alone.
Speaker 1: I want to read Philippians two to you, but I'm
Speaker 1: running out of time. Jesus Christ to being in the
Speaker 1: very same nature as God, did not consider equality with
Speaker 1: God something to be used to his own advantage or grasp.
Speaker 1: Whether he made of himself nothing by taking the very
Speaker 1: nature of his servant, being made in human likeness and
Speaker 1: with the human likeness, and being found in appearance as
Speaker 1: a man he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death,
Speaker 1: even death on a cross. Therefore God exalted him, him
Speaker 1: the man. Therefore God exalted him the man. Therefore God
Speaker 1: exalted him to the highest place and gave him the
Speaker 1: name that is above every name that at the name Jesus. Yes,
Speaker 1: you a every knee should bow in heaven, and on
Speaker 1: and on. We don't know the power we have, you know,
Speaker 1: we don't understand the power we have. We're letting so
Speaker 1: many things overwhelm us, and we're letting so many things
Speaker 1: push us around. And we're looking at culture, and we're
Speaker 1: looking at this perverse generation and we're wanting to be hopeless,
Speaker 1: and we're wanting to be discouraged, and we're wanting to
Speaker 1: be frustrated, and we're wanting to be irritated, and we're
Speaker 1: wanting to be bugged, and we're wanting to be bitter,
Speaker 1: and we're wanting to be negative, and we're wanting to
Speaker 1: be critical, and we're wanting to be despondent, and we're
Speaker 1: wanting to run off and hide, and we're wanting to
Speaker 1: live in a different generation. But you were called to
Speaker 1: this generation on purpose. You were called to this generation
Speaker 1: on purpose, you were empowered called you are set apart.
Speaker 1: You are the Ecclissea of this generation, the sanctified called Ecclesia,
Speaker 1: that is the Senate, the legislative body of Christ. That
Speaker 1: you might confront the darkness, that you might exbollow the darkness,
Speaker 1: that you might dismiss the darkness, that you might drive
Speaker 1: the darkness out. Now, as long as we pray these,
Speaker 1: these petitionary prayers. Oh God, I'm so helpless. God, just
Speaker 1: help us, God, help us. I don't know what to do. God,
Speaker 1: it's all going to hell in a handbasket. God, did
Speaker 1: you see what's going on over there? Did you see
Speaker 1: what happened? As long as we pray this helpless, weak, petitionary,
Speaker 1: beggarly prayer, as long as we pray these Oh, if
Speaker 1: it be thy, will God, do something, do something in Seattle,
Speaker 1: if it be thy will? You got a religious tone
Speaker 1: to it, It sounds super religious because he oh, you
Speaker 1: got religious tone to it. But it's worthless. It's weak,
Speaker 1: it's wimpy, it's nothing. You are the Jeremiah of this day.
Speaker 1: You're the You are the Elijah of this day. Rise up, Elijah,
Speaker 1: Rise up, Confront, Confront, Confront, Bayel. Confront the power of
Speaker 1: Bayel Elijah. Put on your armor, put on your big
Speaker 1: boy pants. Come on, come on, come on, rise up.
Speaker 1: Oh ure, com rapture.
Speaker 2: Come.
Speaker 1: Oh I did God even plant me in this generation? Oh?
Speaker 2: I hate it? I hated. Can't even go to the
Speaker 2: grocery store. Its all going to hello.
Speaker 1: That is not why God called you to this generation.
Speaker 1: He was trusting that something would ignite faith in you,
Speaker 1: that something would awaken you, something would quicken you, something
Speaker 1: would stir you, a word would get planted in you,
Speaker 1: and you would rise up like Jesus and start confronting
Speaker 1: the unbelief of your generation, and start confronting the perversity
Speaker 1: of your generation, and start saying, not with my people,
Speaker 1: and not in my city, and not in my nation,
Speaker 1: and not in my elections, and not in my government,
Speaker 1: and not in my media, not in my education, not
Speaker 1: in my economy, not in my family, not in my religion.
Speaker 2: Not going to happen. It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1: What we've learned about deliverance, what we've learned over the
Speaker 1: macro of our own lives, we can apply to the
Speaker 1: micro of our own lives. We can apply to the
Speaker 1: macro of culture, the macro of our generation, and we
Speaker 1: can begin to rise up and say we can just
Speaker 1: spend a day praying over religion. Right there, Pray over
Speaker 1: the mountain of religion. Rebellion, five percent, five percent of
Speaker 1: church goers in our nation give a tithe of their
Speaker 1: money five for sin. Or If that doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: rebellion and distrust to me, I don't know what in
Speaker 1: the world does. And then somebody said, we don't need
Speaker 1: a revival. Churches are filled with rebellion, the fear of man,
Speaker 1: love of self, jealousy, distrust of God. We could just
Speaker 1: go on and on and on and on, right, So
Speaker 1: just take one day and just pray over the mountain
Speaker 1: of religion. Just start addressing those things. Pray for our church,
Speaker 1: pray for the church at large, pray for the church
Speaker 1: of the nation, and just begin to address these things,
Speaker 1: not with petitionary prayers, but with the prayers of Elijah.
Speaker 1: Elijah said, it's not gonna reign except by my word.
Speaker 1: I'm closing up the skies and it's not gonna rain.
Speaker 1: Elijah said, bring the prophets of Bayel. We're gonna watch
Speaker 1: a showdown. Showdowns over good. Take them all out. Take
Speaker 1: them all out, Take them all out. Four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty prophits of bail put to.
Speaker 2: Death in a day.
Speaker 1: Why because one man stood up, just a country bumpkin.
Speaker 1: You read about him. Who in the world was this guy?
Speaker 1: Lived in the backwoods. He just showed up and shows
Speaker 1: up in chapter seventeen, first time we heard of him.
Speaker 2: You know what that means. You don't have to have
Speaker 2: a title, you don't have to have.
Speaker 1: A parking spot, you don't have to drive a Mercedes,
Speaker 1: you don't have to live in a mansion. You have
Speaker 1: the power and the authority of Jesus living in you,
Speaker 1: The power and authority of Jesus dwells in you to
Speaker 1: confront all of these unclean ones that are harming the church.
Speaker 1: Then take on the family. This week, we're going to
Speaker 1: be praying over family, godlessness, immorality, Jezebel, bayl rejection, abandoned,
Speaker 1: a betrayal, every unclean thing that wants to harm our families.
Speaker 1: We're gonna pray over a government this week. Bayl Anti, Christ, spirit, deceit, Leviathan, communism, Marxism, Marxism, liberalism, atheism.
Speaker 1: It wants to take over government. We're gonna pray of
Speaker 1: our economy, the greed, the fear, the love of money,
Speaker 1: the seduction, the idolatry. We're gonna pray over education, the pride, leviathan,
Speaker 1: the twisting and perverting acknowledge, rebellion, atheism, liberalism. We're gonna
Speaker 1: pray it over media this week. Anxiety, fear, terror, deceit
Speaker 1: shifted through media to cause us to beat terrorise. We're
Speaker 1: gonna pray over arts and entertainment this week. The debauchery,
Speaker 1: the immorality, the love of money, the seduction, idolatry, spirit
Speaker 1: of Jezebel. Stand with me this morning. These can be
Speaker 1: driven out. It's only an unbelieving generation that believes they
Speaker 1: can't be that believes they can do nothing about it,
Speaker 1: believe they have to tolerate it. You have to understand something.
Speaker 1: Satan's not in charge. Jesus is superior. Satan's only in
Speaker 1: charge where we allow him to be in charge. He's
Speaker 1: only in charge where we allow him to be in charge,
Speaker 1: because we haven't asserted the superior victory of a man,
Speaker 1: a man who conquered him, who's now at the right
Speaker 1: hand of the father who purchased the earth, who purchased America,
Speaker 1: who purchased every nation, who said in Psalm chapter two, Father,
Speaker 1: give me the nations as my inheritance, as the victorious Man,
Speaker 1: as the Supreme Last Adam, Father, I believe the nations
Speaker 1: belong to me. Give me the nations as my inheritance.
Speaker 2: That's the prayer he prayed.
Speaker 1: Guess what, Father is not going to fail to give
Speaker 1: him the answer to that prayer. He has irresistible prayers.
Speaker 1: The Supreme, Righteous, overcoming, victorious Jesus has a prayer before
Speaker 1: the Father that's irresistible. And we can either be a
Speaker 1: part of it or we cannot be. We can live
Speaker 1: with a hopeless generation, unbelieving generation, and we can wring
Speaker 1: our hands over every situation and curse and mutter about
Speaker 1: how bad it is, or we can be the Elijah
Speaker 1: of our day and rise up and say, not in
Speaker 1: my generation, not in my generation, not in my generation,
Speaker 1: not with my family, not with my family members, not
Speaker 1: with my community, not with the media or my family
Speaker 1: or the economy. It's not going to happen. Let's receive
Speaker 1: right now, Holy Spirit. We just receive even this week,
Speaker 1: just a mantle of prayer, a mantle of rebuke, a
Speaker 1: mantle of ekbalo, a mantle of authority, a mantle of insight,
Speaker 1: a mantle of grace.
Speaker 2: We receive it.
Speaker 1: As the people of God, the call out of God,
Speaker 1: and we walk it out with you with your shoea
Speaker 1: His words in our mouth, His words in our mouth,
Speaker 1: in Jesus' name, and everybody shouted.
Speaker 2: I want some of the.
Speaker 1: Prayer team up as we close this morning. We're going
Speaker 1: to close in worship. But if you gave your life
Speaker 1: the Lord this morning, four of you raise your hand.
Speaker 1: I want you to up here, and I want you
Speaker 1: to get an assurance of salvation. I want you to
Speaker 1: let somebody pray with you before you leave. If you're
Speaker 1: here and you still need a healing in your body,
Speaker 1: a refreshment of soul, encouragement or the mending of our relationship,
Speaker 1: get up here before we leave this morning, Get prayed for,
Speaker 1: be encouraged.
