WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:05.040 Let's stand in prayer with the word. Father, we thank 2 00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.519 you for writing on our hearts today that you've come. 3 00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:14.519 You've come to write on our hearts, and we welcome you, 4 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.719 Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, write on our hearts right on 5 00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.359 our wash us with the water the word, align our 6 00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:27.679 thoughts and our thinking, renew us, renew us by the word, 7 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.839 lift our eyes, our countenants and our hope. We thank 8 00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.200 you for it in Jesus' name. And everybody said, Amen, 9 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.079 this is a week of prayer, and I want you. 10 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.719 I want you on board with me in prayer all week. Uh. 11 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:52.359 And then we have you know, our focused time. There's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, right, 12 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.079 is that right? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. So, and then I 13 00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.079 want you to come to those evening meetings, whether you're 14 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:01.079 fasting or not, if you can't fast, or if anything 15 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:04.920 is preventing you from fasting, or if you can't fast 16 00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:08.000 every meal or whatever you're doing, just come and be 17 00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.640 a part of the prayer anyway. And I want you 18 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:15.239 to continue in prayer with me this week. Today, I 19 00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.760 want to start in Matthew seventeen and just declare over 20 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:26.280 this generation that it's not hopeless, it's not hopeless. This 21 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:33.480 generation is not a hopeless generation. Matthew seventeen fourteen. When 22 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:35.640 they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, 23 00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.680 falling on his knees before him and saying, Lord, have 24 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.560 mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and 25 00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.879 is very ill. For he often falls into the fire 26 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.359 and often into the water, so like he's thrown into 27 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.519 those things. So this is spiritual oppression on this sun. 28 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.439 I brought him to your disciples, and they could not 29 00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:04.920 cure him, or he him, or dismiss drive out the enemy. 30 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.759 And Jesus answered and said, you unbelieving in perverted generation, 31 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:12.479 how long shall I be with you? How long shall 32 00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.599 I put up with you? Bring him here to me. 33 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.879 I think he might have been talking to, you know, 34 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.400 not only the crowd, but talking to the disciples. It's 35 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.759 kind of a bit of a rebuke, but it was 36 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:32.680 also an insightful observance and instructional observance over the generation 37 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.919 that he's living in. So this, this generation that he's 38 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:42.599 living in, was a very fallen, unbelieving generation. So Malachi 39 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.159 was the last prophet of the Old Covenant, the Old Testament. 40 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:51.159 We've got a four hundred year period of silence, and 41 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.599 then Jesus comes on the scene and Galatians Force says, 42 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.879 it's at the fullness of time that he comes and 43 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.439 the belief of the children of Israel. So these are 44 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:08.560 these are the Israel Israelite, Israelite people, the Jewish people, 45 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.960 and the disciples who were of Jewish descent, and yeah, 46 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.360 and so this is supposed to be a believing generation. 47 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.000 This is supposed to be a believing people. But he 48 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.639 found them to be unbelieving. He found them to be 49 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.919 burdened with doubt, distrust and unbelieved. So he, you know, 50 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:30.560 he confronts that and he calls it a generation. So 51 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.599 there's a whole generation. It's like we're dealing with the 52 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:36.800 generation right now, the end of the world. We don't 53 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.400 live in an isolated world. The stuff that's going on here, 54 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:41.800 it's going on in Europe, it's going on in Germany, 55 00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:44.599 it's going on in Africa, it's going on in India, 56 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.560 it's going on, you know, so much of the darkness 57 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.879 it's going on globally, meaning that it's generational in its pact, 58 00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:59.439 it's generational in its influence. And they too, were living 59 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:04.520 in a day where it was an unbelieving generation. It 60 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:11.960 wasn't just isolated, it was a global situation. Jesus rebuked 61 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.280 the devil, and the demon came out of him, and 62 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.759 the boy was cured at once. And then the disciples 63 00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.000 came to Jesus privately and said, why could we not 64 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:24.720 drive it out? Everybody say drive it out. So demons 65 00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:26.279 have to be driven out. We're going to get to that. 66 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.240 More demons have to be driven out. And he said 67 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.480 to them, because of the smallness or the littleness of 68 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.399 your faith. For truly, I say to you, if you 69 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:37.399 have faith the size of a mustard seed. So they 70 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.759 didn't even have faith the size of a mustard seed. 71 00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.480 This is interesting. Now you have to understand this is 72 00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.879 before the death and the resurrection of Jesus, so the 73 00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:52.759 disciples were not born again. There were dispensations, small dispensations 74 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.920 where he gave them, like in Luke chapter ten, he 75 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.279 gave them his authority and sent them out two by 76 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.879 two that they might heal. But in this situation, he's 77 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:09.240 bringing to mind that those who weren't able to drive 78 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.240 out this spirit. Part of the problem was a lack 79 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.199 of faith. So and the lack of faith was due 80 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.000 to the failure or the lack of being born of 81 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.839 the spirit, which is not a problem in this room 82 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:24.399 this morning. 83 00:05:24.759 --> 00:05:25.480 Hello, some money. 84 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.680 So it's just kind of interesting to think about because 85 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.959 he says, because of the smallness of your faith. For truly, 86 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.680 if you have the faith the size of a mustard seed, 87 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.920 you will say to this mountain, move from here to there, 88 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:45.399 and it will move. So faith, which is the indwelling 89 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.079 word of God. And the mustard seed he's talking about, 90 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.720 is the seed of the Word of God within you, 91 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.319 which is the witness of Jesus, the living Word within 92 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:03.480 you gives you the grace, the power, the enablement to 93 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.319 not only speak to mountains, but to speak to demons 94 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.800 and to ecbollow them. That's the word in the Greek, 95 00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.360 to drive them out, to cast them out. So, because 96 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.480 of the smallness of your faith, and he says, if 97 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.079 you have faith the size of a mustard seed, then 98 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.480 you can speak to this mountain, you will move and nothing, 99 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.360 everybody say nothing, nothing will be impossible to you. So 100 00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.600 we know that faith is always interrelated to a word 101 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:38.639 from God or the word of God, and Romans ten 102 00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.519 seventeen says faith comes by hearing the word, but not 103 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:47.639 just hearing the word, but comes by the quickened word 104 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.839 of God. And we know that the word for word 105 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:54.720 therein Romans ten seventeen is rama, not logos. So it 106 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.120 means when the Holy Spirit quickens a word to you, 107 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:02.959 quickens his word to you, it ignites, it awakens, it 108 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.319 imparts faith within you so that you can do even 109 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:13.199 things or bring forth things that otherwise would seem impossible. 110 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:17.879 And certainly for these guys, casting out demons would be impossible, 111 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.879 so they needed this quickening of faith. And then he 112 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.399 goes on to say, but this kind does not go 113 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:29.040 out except by prayer and fasting. So I wanted you 114 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.720 to see this though. I wanted you to see that 115 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.040 this was a generational problem, that unbelief was permeating the generation. 116 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.759 So this wasn't just a disciple problem. It wasn't just 117 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.639 if it was if the twelve were there at that moment. 118 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:48.040 It wasn't just the twelve who had a problem. He's 119 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:55.040 speaking over the generation. But then he's also releasing understanding 120 00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.560 to them that they would have received later that oh, 121 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.279 when faith comes, we'll be able to handle this stuff. 122 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:09.000 When faith comes, we'll be able to address even problems 123 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:14.000 that are affecting our generation, because the whole generation was 124 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:18.399 under a cloud, a big wet blanket of unbelief. And 125 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:23.319 with the whole generation under this cloud of unbelief, then 126 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:29.720 the whole generation was held in a spell under darkness. 127 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:34.000 But when faith would come, when faith would come, and 128 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.559 it came to them over the day where he breathed 129 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.679 on them John chapter twenty twenty through twenty two. It 130 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.080 says he breathed on them, And when he breathed on them, 131 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:47.360 he said, receive the Holy Spirit. And then he told them, 132 00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:52.480 whoever sends you, remit or forgive. They are forgiven. And 133 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:55.519 then he said, as the Father sent me, so send 134 00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.360 I you. This is John chapter twenty twenty through twenty two. 135 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.120 So there was a day when faith came to them, 136 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.440 after the resurrection from the dead. They were quickened with faith, 137 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.080 and then they knew something. They knew, Oh, I can 138 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:12.120 make a difference in my generation. This generation will not 139 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:15.840 be the same. They knew, this generation will not be 140 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.600 the same. Holy Spirit has quickened us. This generation will 141 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.720 not be the same. Do we know that today in 142 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.200 this room, your generation is not meant to be the same. 143 00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.480 Now you might have been hopeless. Before you came to 144 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.879 the Lord, you might have been going downstream or along 145 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:38.279 with the stream of this generation and the culture dominating 146 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.919 this generation before you came to the Lord. 147 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:42.360 But when the Holy. 148 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.759 Spirit came to live in you, regardless of what you've 149 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:48.799 heard in any church anywhere, or any theology spoken to 150 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.519 you out of some commentary, radio show, television preacher, or 151 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.000 anything else, the Word of God says you now have 152 00:09:55.360 --> 00:10:01.360 indwelling hope over your generation. You now have in dwelling 153 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:07.240 hope over your generation. You're no longer going along with 154 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.720 the perversion or the unbelief of the generation. But you 155 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:20.879 are a flame, ignititer of faith to this generation. We've 156 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:22.600 got one guy up here in church, the rest of 157 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.720 you or somewhere else, I don't know what's going on. 158 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.159 I'm preaching him happy. The rest of you are stretching ears, 159 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.559 checking thoses out. I don't know what in the world. 160 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:34.960 Bumps somebody and see if they're awake. 161 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.279 Hallelujah. 162 00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.320 I hope the television audience is doing better than this. 163 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.399 Follow the lead up here, Just follow the lead, follow 164 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.279 the leader right here in the white, in the white 165 00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:54.080 of your own television. Come on, somebody, it's called eviction. 166 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:57.559 It's called eviction. 167 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:02.279 They got a revelation that when faith comes, we will 168 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:09.720 have the power to evict the power of the enemy. 169 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.039 When faith comes, we will have the power to evict 170 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.120 the power of the enemy. And this is what Jesus 171 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.960 was doing. You've heard me talk about this before. Thirty 172 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:25.240 three percent of his ministry was deliverance ministry. One percent 173 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:32.559 of the modern churches ministry is deliverance ministry. Maybe two. 174 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.960 On a good day. We're afraid to talk about the devil. 175 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:42.799 Let alone talk to him. Hello, we're afraid to talk 176 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:46.919 about him. Let alone talk to him. But you've been 177 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:50.159 given all authority over all darkness. 178 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:51.879 You have been given. 179 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:56.320 Authority over all serpents and scorpions and all the power 180 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:03.080 of the devil. Bump somebody on that one. You've been 181 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.559 given authority. Oh yeah, that's a good bump, right there, 182 00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:10.879 Come on, somebody. And so Jesus did a lot of this, right, 183 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:15.320 A lot of his ministry was evicting the enemy. A 184 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.639 lot of his ministry. And the word is ekbalo, the 185 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.080 word is ikmollow. Let's see if I've got an echabollo 186 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:26.159 thing back here, Mark one thirty two. When the evening 187 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:29.120 came and the sun had set, they began bringing to 188 00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:31.600 him all who were ill, and those who were demon 189 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:36.600 possessed were demon eyed. And the whole city had gathered 190 00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.000 at the door, and he healed many who were ill 191 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:45.480 with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and cast 192 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:52.879 out many demons. His ministry to the individual was illustrating 193 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:57.919 how a generation can be changed. His ministry on a 194 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:02.960 micro's scale was illustrating how a macro causm can be changed. 195 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.559 And it was changed from city to city, from nation 196 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:07.159 to nation. 197 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:08.879 There was a great. 198 00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:12.759 Revolution that started after the Resurrection, where Jesus and the 199 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.320 Word of God and the power of the spirit were 200 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.720 taking dominion and taking over, and demons were sent scattering 201 00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.600 Luke six seventeen. Jesus came down to them and stood 202 00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:27.879 on a level place, and over the large crowd and 203 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:31.159 a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem 204 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.840 in the coastal region of Tire and Sidon, who had 205 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.399 come to hear him and behal of their diseases, and 206 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:42.360 those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being delivered, cured, 207 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:53.879 set free, healed, ministered to liberated this was commonplace. All 208 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:57.320 you have to do is look around for about two minutes, 209 00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:06.519 and you will see. Our generation is demonized. Our generation 210 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:12.360 is demonized. Why are you here. You must be here 211 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.679 for some reason. You must be here for some purpose. 212 00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:24.039 You must be here, not to yield to the fate 213 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:34.840 or the discouragement or the influence of the generation, but 214 00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:44.039 rather to confront the influence of the generation. Follow is 215 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.679 the word cast ech bollow is the Greek word. It's 216 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:52.240 a compound word ech meaning out and ballow, meaning to throw, 217 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.559 to throw out, to evict, and meaning to throw out 218 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:04.559 with force, even violently, to drive out, to expel. This 219 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.799 is part of why we keep pressure on the enemy, 220 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.600 part of why we keep pressure on anything dark, anything perverse, 221 00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:15.720 anything unclean, anything that torments you, or anything that torments 222 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.720 your family, anything that torments our city, our community, our government, 223 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.639 our nation. The reason we're keeping pressure on it is 224 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:29.120 because this is the only thing the unclean realm understands. 225 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:43.240 Is authority expressed with constant pressure, confronting, driving, dismissing, yes, 226 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:47.840 pushing with force, by force. 227 00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.360 Pushing it out. 228 00:15:51.200 --> 00:15:53.519 And this is the way, this is, this is the 229 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:56.320 only thing that demons understand. And you just I don't 230 00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.200 know if you've if you've, if you've ever you know, 231 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:02.240 like I've talked to you a little bit about our 232 00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.799 situation here. We had the neighbors trying to steal ten 233 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:09.919 feet of our property in nineteen ninety nine and they 234 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:15.159 were using it for gardening and they said they'd used 235 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.039 it for ten years and so it was their property. 236 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:21.240 So we found aerial photographs and we found the old 237 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.440 fence posts, and you know, we were able to prove 238 00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:25.799 that it wasn't their property, and so we won in 239 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.639 the court of law. This went to the Supreme Court 240 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.679 of Washington and it's used for case law today if 241 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.519 you're training for law school. By the way, kind of 242 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.679 a fun thing you're going to read about New Horizon 243 00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:41.159 Christian Center. We've talked to you about evictions where you know, 244 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.960 we've had rentals or homes, and you know what happens 245 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.720 in an eviction situation is you've got somebody that doesn't 246 00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.720 want to leave. In this situation, they weren't going to 247 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.480 give up the property. So we had to drive them 248 00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:00.679 off of the property through legal means, through through prayer, 249 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:06.160 and through legal means, through spiritual rebuke, and through legal 250 00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:09.960 means we had to drive them off of our property, 251 00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.319 and after about a year and a half we prevailed. 252 00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:20.599 After about eighteen months, we prevailed. After about eighteen months 253 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:25.880 and probably seventy thousand dollars we prevailed. What I'm trying 254 00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.319 to say is it might take some time for you 255 00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:31.400 to get your victories. It might take some expense for 256 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.279 you to get your victories. It might take some pressure 257 00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.240 for you to get your victories. It might take constant 258 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:40.079 pressure for you to get your victories. How about our nation? 259 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:42.640 Do we care about our nation? How long are we 260 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:47.799 going to rise up and persevere, confront resist, stand our ground, 261 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:53.519 make our voice known in our generation? How long are 262 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:55.039 we going to do that? We're going to do it 263 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:57.119 for a week. We're going to do it for a month. 264 00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.440 We're going to do it for two months. Should we 265 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.319 go after this thing for six months? Are we going 266 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.880 to apply the pressure of a superior authority until we 267 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:14.480 push the enemy out of his territory? By the way, 268 00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.799 it's his territory. It's not just our territory. It's our 269 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:23.559 territory only because we are joint heirs with him. Romans 270 00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:26.279 eight says that he is the heir of the earth. 271 00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:33.960 That the earth was promised to Abraham and that Jesus. 272 00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.559 This is Galatians three and four. Romans Chapter four. The 273 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.960 earth was promised to Abraham, and Jesus is the seed 274 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:47.640 of Abraham, the miracle son that was the true seed 275 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:55.319 of Abraham, only foreshadowed by Isaac, but fulfilled in Jesus. 276 00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.839 Jesus becomes the seed of Abraham and the heir of 277 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:04.799 the Earth. Romans for Romans eight. I'm sorry. Romanse Ad 278 00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:08.400 says we are joint heirs with him. The reason the 279 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:10.519 earth is mine is not just because I was born 280 00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:13.559 here or live here. It's because it was given to Jesus, 281 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:22.480 and I'm a joint heir with him. This is important 282 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:25.960 when we think about our position, we think about politics, 283 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.799 we think about government. By the way, this is voting week. 284 00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:31.559 I think by Tuesday you have to have your ballots in. 285 00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.960 You might have already signed them. In the sentiment I 286 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.720 hope you did. I hope you're voting. Because voting is 287 00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:42.039 actually deliverance ministry. Voting is actually ecbalo. Voting is actually 288 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:46.839 casting out those who want to be in office but 289 00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:53.079 shouldn't be, those who want to assert an influence, but 290 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:57.119 shouldn't assert an influence. So with our vote, we drive 291 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.519 them out. With our vote, we dismiss them out of 292 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:02.920 the government. With our vote, we say not in my town, 293 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:10.079 not in my city, not in my county. So it's 294 00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:19.000 important that you vote. Hello, you still have time. I 295 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:24.880 hope you're voting. Demons have to be driven out. Unclean 296 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:29.480 influences have to be driven out, and this is it's 297 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:35.480 like we have to realize that it's super important that 298 00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:40.079 we stand with Jesus, who is the heir of the earth. 299 00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:57.799 I think sometimes we have a little bit of confusion 300 00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:59.920 about this and maybe I don't know. I will take 301 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.960 a moment. Okay, I'll take a moment. I'll take a moment. 302 00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.119 I want to take a moment on this and maybe 303 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.559 potentially clear up a little bit of confusion. But here's 304 00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:15.960 the thing is that, like Romans thirteen, Romans thirteen says 305 00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:22.440 that the government is the minister of God. So that 306 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.799 means any government that is not in alignment with Jesus 307 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:33.119 is a false minister of God. We should only want 308 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:37.400 in government those who agree with Romans thirteen that the 309 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.160 government is ordained to be a minister. 310 00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:41.319 Of God. 311 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:46.960 Of good for the people. And of terror for those 312 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.440 who do evil. So the government is a minister of God. 313 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:55.960 So in Jesus, the last atom, has been elevated to 314 00:21:56.319 --> 00:21:58.559 the throne of God, to the right hand of the throne, 315 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:06.440 not in his deity, but in his manhood. So him 316 00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:10.200 who has inherited the earth, he inherited the earth as 317 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:13.640 the fulfillment of the seed of Abraham. Him who has 318 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:17.720 inherited the earth is not Jesus in his divinity, is 319 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.599 Jesus in his manhood, even as he sits by the 320 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.680 Father on the right hand of the throne. We have 321 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.640 to realize that it's most important for us to see 322 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.799 him in both dimensions. We have to see him in 323 00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.200 his divinity, meaning he has the power to bring about 324 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:40.039 what is his, but we have to see him in 325 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:44.119 his manhood because it's his manhood and the fulfillment of 326 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.839 his perfection in his manhood that gives him. 327 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:50.680 The right to rule over the earth. 328 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.039 He has inherited the earth, and he's bought back the earth. Now, 329 00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:05.160 typically you only evict somebody that is possessing something illegally. Hello, 330 00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:08.839 somebody if they haven't paid for it, if they don't 331 00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.039 own it, if it doesn't belong to them. Are you 332 00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:15.240 hearing me? If they don't own it, if they haven't 333 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:17.880 bought it, if they haven't paid for it, then. 334 00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.720 It's not theirs. 335 00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:25.599 Therefore, whoever owns it has the right and the authority 336 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:33.519 to evict them. Well, Satan doesn't own the earth. Satan 337 00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.799 does not own the earth. Satan does not own the earth. 338 00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.720 Satan didn't purchase the earth. He only usurp to Adam's 339 00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:47.640 authority to gain. 340 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:49.400 That which he had. 341 00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:54.400 With regard to authority in the earth, he doesn't own 342 00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:56.880 the earth. He didn't buy the earth. He didn't earn 343 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:01.240 the earth. He doesn't possess the power over the earth. 344 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:08.039 Jesus purchased the earth. Jesus purchased the earth. He is 345 00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:13.559 the rightful owner. That's why First Corinthens fifteen forty five. 346 00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:16.960 It's very clear when it names in First Corinthens fifteen 347 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:23.119 forty five that he's the last atom. It's with the 348 00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.680 intention that we understand something. He's the last atom. Not 349 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:31.559 only that he is the beginner, the beginning, the fountain 350 00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:35.480 head of a new race of people, a new class 351 00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:38.240 of people, a new I have that one. If you 352 00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:40.319 want to throw it up while I'm calling those out 353 00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.759 you might see him. You want to throw up First 354 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.039 Corinthions fifteen forty five. They need to know I'm not lying. 355 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:50.920 Once in a while, a lot of times when we 356 00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.279 think of this passage, or when I'm teaching on this passage, 357 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.640 you know, I think of it as and I talk 358 00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:58.720 to you about how he's the beginning of the new 359 00:24:58.759 --> 00:25:05.720 creation and he began a new race of humanity. But 360 00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:09.440 it's also important for us when we see this to recognize, Oh, 361 00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:14.200 God is actually saying something when he calls the Christ 362 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:19.000 the last Adam, that means, by virtue of his proclamation, 363 00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:24.519 he's also taking note that he is also the fountain head, 364 00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:29.359 the owner and the beginning of that which pertains to 365 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:38.319 the earth. So he has rightful ownership over the earth. 366 00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:41.680 So when we vote, when we pray, when we live, 367 00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.640 when we think everything we're doing, we need to be thinking. 368 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.240 We need to be connecting the dots that Jesus is 369 00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:59.440 the rightful owner of the earth. Right when he tells 370 00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:03.079 us to not love the world, he didn't say don't 371 00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.119 love the earth. In Matthew five, he says the meek 372 00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:12.279 will inherit thee. The meek will inherit the Oh the 373 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.599 meek will inherit the so he must not hate the earth. 374 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.200 By the way, after you die, guess where you're coming 375 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.039 back to. You're coming back to the earth. The dead 376 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:26.759 in Christ will rise. Then we that remain, are you 377 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:32.119 familiar with for Theescillonians four? Who are we going to 378 00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:35.440 meet in the clouds? Whoever's here is going to rise? 379 00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:40.680 You know, the dead rise? Anyway? First, Grinton's first Thessalonians four. 380 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:43.640 He's bringing all of the saints back with him. 381 00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.039 Read it. 382 00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.160 They're all coming back to the They're all coming back 383 00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:54.000 to the earth. And his goal and his objective that 384 00:26:54.079 --> 00:27:00.640 he will fulfill is that Heaven will come to the earth. 385 00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:09.559 This is important, This is super important that you see 386 00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:14.240 that Satan's not in charge, but we're letting him be 387 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:28.039 in charge. When a minority seizes authority and power because 388 00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:33.279 they've partnered with the demonic realm, should we allow that 389 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:34.079 to continue? 390 00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:35.839 Did you hear me? 391 00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:43.559 When a minority seizes control, influence, and power because they've 392 00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:47.079 partnered with the demonic realm? Should we allow that to continue? 393 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.720 Should we allow that to continue? Can we do something 394 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:51.200 about it? 395 00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:52.759 Yes? 396 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:58.359 Because we have been empowered in our generation to confront 397 00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:02.519 the enemy and then you can live and not confront 398 00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:06.160 the enemy as a born again, spirit filled believer is 399 00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.039 to have a spirit of unbelief. 400 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:10.400 That is, you've bought into the. 401 00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:15.680
