-
I have a minister texting me during the church. That's not good. I
-
don't know what he's doing. Oh, that's because they're three hours ahead of
-
us. That's good, Okay, all right, hallelujah church. So this
-
week we had a Satanic icon in the Capitol building in Iowa. Do you
-
see that? How many of you saw that? So for those that didn't
-
see it, somebody, some Satanic group went in there and set up this
-
like this, uh Satan figure, you know, uh, like a I
-
don't know what you'd call it, huh, some kind of idol or something.
-
So in the Capitol building and then a Christian came in. Did you
-
see this? A Christian came in this week and knocked its head off.
-
We're filming this. You shouldn't have shouted like that. Now the whole world
-
knows you hate Satan. What if you're on camera? You could have been
-
on camera today for shame, shame, shame. But you know what I
-
was thinking. I was thinking. I was thinking a few things. I
-
was thinking, Number one, why didn't this is for Samuel five? But
-
the following morning when they rose, there was dagone fall on his face on
-
the ground before the ark of the Lord. I was thinking, why didn't
-
I mean, let's do this, like if this ever happens in Washington State,
-
let's do this. Let's go with anning oil. Let's go take a
-
prayer team and just pray around this silly thing and bind up and disempower and
-
defeat the principality that's animated through the people that set it up. I'm thinking,
-
what, what a crazy wonderful How much more fun it would have been
-
if they would have just had a prayer meeting and then the next morning they
-
find it knocked over on its own knocked you know, knocked over by the
-
spirit with its head knocked off. Wouldn't that be better? I want to
-
see if that happen. Yeah. Then the other thing I was thinking is
-
that I wonder what reactions of Christians were this week, all across America and
-
across the planet. I wonder what Christian reactions were like, oh, man,
-
we knew this was coming, or you watch, it's going to get
-
worse, or I don't know, but I'm I'm supposing millions of Christians across
-
our nation prophesied again about how Satan's kingdom is advancing and got into agreement with
-
the advancement of the unclean realm. And I think this is one of the
-
biggest challenges right now, and it's one of the most important things Holy Spirit
-
is doing right now, because the earth is groaning waiting for the sons of
-
God to manifest. That's you, that's us, that's us, the redeem
-
that's us, the born again, that's us, the spirit filled. The
-
earth is groaning waiting for the sons of God, the daughters of God to
-
rise up into their rightful place in kingdom authority and kingdom victory and kingdom power.
-
And I think as long as we continue, Satan doesn't even need prophets.
-
They don't need four hundred and fifty prophets of bail when the children of
-
the Kingdom of God are doing his work for him, like when we testify,
-
and when pressure or conflict or evil or darkness we witness it in any
-
mountain of culture, and then we parrot an agreement that more's coming, and
-
we saw it coming, and this is where it's going. When then he
-
doesn't need any more prophecy than that. We've already seeded the atmosphere with our
-
faith and our expectation. No matter what your eschatology is. No matter what
-
your eschatology is, it's never right to cause the enemy's kingdom to prosper by
-
your agreement. No matter what your eschatology is, it's never right to cause
-
or enable the kingdom of the enemy to prosper because of your agreement. You
-
and I have one calling with regard to the word in our mouth, and
-
that is to agree with God's word with our word. And that's to agree
-
with the prosperity of the Kingdom of the Sun, and the prosperity of heaven
-
on earth, and the growing dominion of Him who has an everlasting kingdom.
-
We are the second generation alive on the planet that has a conflict in our
-
tongue to what God is doing and wants to do and set out to do.
-
Until a hundred years ago, the Church agreed vehemently that the kingdom was
-
prospering, that Jesus was king. That thorns, I mean, just just
-
sing your Christmas carols, Joy to the world. The Lord has come.
-
Let earth receive her. It just goes on her second verse. No more
-
let thorns or thistles grow, nor something in like the ground. He comes
-
to make his righteousness known. For as the curse has found. For as
-
the first curse is found. You don't even know the Christmas carols. Neither
-
do I, Lord help us look at the Christmas carols, Church, the
-
Christmas Carols. We're gonna go there right now. He rules the world with
-
truth and grace and makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness and wonders
-
of his love. Next one, where is it? Where is it?
-
Oh? I don't have it here? What a lousy lyrical thing. See
-
if I can find another one, Isaac Watts, timeless truths. No more
-
let sin and sorrow grow, nor thorns infest the ground. Everybody's say in
-
fest that's a good one. He comes to make his blessings flow far as
-
the curse is found, for as the curse is found, or as far
-
as the curse has found Church. If you just read the Christmas carols,
-
if you just read Handles Messiah, you would discover that the Church until about
-
one hundred years ago, two generations ago, believed and confessed and spoke and
-
professed the dominion of Jesus. They totally agreed with the prophetic scriptures about his
-
coming. By the way, there's three hundred predictive scriptures. There's over three
-
hundred prophetic words about his coming and about who he would be and what he
-
would be, and what we had accomplish in the Old Testament that have all
-
been fulfilled and codified and signified in the New Testament. Three over three hundred
-
of them. I was going to talk about eight of them this morning.
-
I was going to read about eight of them this morning. I still got
-
a moment. But boy, I was slain up here. I don't know
-
if you were, but Holy Spirit, so good, Wow, are you
-
happy? Moderately inebriated, partially drunk. Anybody in the building. It a
-
period'll be You'll be eight of them if you just if you just took eight
-
of the three hundred, the probability and I grabbed eight. But the probability
-
of eight predictive prophetic words being fulfilled about him, the chance of that is
-
one. The chance of that is one in ten to the seventeenth power.
-
Here's here's how crazy it is. If you took silver dollars, take one
-
silver dollar and put them on it, and then take silver dollars and cover
-
the state of Texas two feet deep. Then blindfolds Scott and tell him to
-
go find the one with the mark on it. That's one in ten to
-
the seventeenth power. The chance that he could find it is one in ten
-
to the seventeenth power. That's eight of them. That's eight of them.
-
Three hundred came to pass. Three hundred came to pass. And they all
-
speak of his dominion. They, you know, they speak of his power,
-
They speak of his kingdom, They speak of his love, they speak
-
of God's plan. They they speak of the son of Man, the son
-
of Man's mentioned eighty one time, son of men. They mention that they
-
speak of the son of man, but they speak of the Son of God.
-
And they're they're just overwhelming with glory. We just serve this amazing,
-
amazing, glorious king church, and we are the ones who are so filled
-
and flooded with hope. Tewod Samuel seven talks about David's offspring, we'll have
-
an eternal kingdom. And I love this stuff because it gives us hope.
-
And he wants to flood your heart with hope because he knows that we are
-
the hope bringers. We are the hope bearers, and not just as Christians,
-
but as victorious Christians. You're not just a Christian. You're not just
-
a casual Christian. You're a victorious Christian. You're an overcoming Christian. So
-
you carries something about you. It's a little different, you know. Matthew
-
six twenty two through twenty five. Jesus said that that the eye is the
-
key to the entire being, and that if your eye is dark, your
-
entire being will be dark. But if your eye is filled with light,
-
your entire being will be filled with light. In church, it's how you
-
see. It's not just what you see, it's how you see it.
-
It's so important that you see Jesus as victorious now and that you come into
-
agreement that he's victorious now. Almost every conversation I have outside of this building
-
with Christians about the perilous times goes something like this. With the person I'm
-
talking to, Yeah, but I read to the end of the book and
-
we win, and that's their medicinal, Like, that's their sav that's what's
-
gonna somehow get them through. But it doesn't empower them for victory. It
-
empowers no one around them for victory. It doesn't dispense hope for victory.
-
It's just going to give them the hope that should we live through hell,
-
eventually will arrive in heaven. But that is not what God plan for us
-
to believe. For that's not what the earth is groaning for. The earth
-
is groaning for the sons of God who don't walk by circumstances, but move
-
circumstances by the word of God. That's what the earth is groaning for.
-
Where are those sons and daughters of God? Because they will be the hope
-
bringers everywhere they go. They will bring the courage, They will be the
-
life bringers and the faith bringers everywhere they go. David's offspring have an eternal
-
kingdom. When your days are over and you rest with you, my ancestors,
-
this second Samuel seven, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you
-
your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. He is
-
the one who will build a house for my name, and I will establish
-
the throne of his kingdom forever fulfillment. Matthew one. One. This is
-
the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of
-
Abraham. Jesus is that one that eternal overcoming one prophecy, the Christ the
-
Messiah will redeem the gentile nations Isaiah forty two to one. Here is my
-
servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one, and whom I delight.
-
I will put my spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
-
He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the
-
streets a bruised read. He will not break a smoldering wick. He will
-
not stuff out in faithfulness, he will bring forth justice. He will not
-
falter or be discouraged until he establishes justice on the earth. In his teaching,
-
the islands will put their hope fulfillment. Matthew twelve. Aware of this,
-
Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him, and he
-
healed all who were ill. He warned them not to tell about him.
-
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah. Here is my
-
servant, whom I chosen, the one and whom I love, the one
-
in whom I delight. I will put my spirit on him, and he
-
will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not quarrel or cry out.
-
No one will hear his voice in the streets A bruise read. He will
-
not break a smoldering WICKI will not snuff out till he has brought justice through
-
to victory in his name, the nations will put their hope. He's still
-
doing this Church. The kingdom that he launched is the growing kingdom. It's
-
the expanding kingdom. It's the overcoming Kingdom. Until until every enemy is put
-
under his feet. This is what I've been confessing. It's just it's become
-
maybe a favorite confession. Psalm one hundred and ten, verse one, Hebrews
-
one, verse thirteen, Hebrews ten, verse thirteen. Father said, set
-
here at my right hand until I put all of your enemies under your feet,
-
and make for them, make a footstool for your feet. He's been,
-
here's been. One of my most favorite confessions is that Father is putting
-
the enemies of the Christ under his feet. Yeah, did you see what
-
happened over here? Though you see this, you see the other thing.
-
Father is putting the enemies of the Christ under his feet. Yeah, but
-
how about that? Are you worried about that? And then and then this
-
happened in Iowa, and this happened over there, and then this happened in
-
the news. Every week you're gonna be tested every week and every day,
-
you're gonna be tested with something in the news, something circumstantial, something happening
-
out there where the enemy is moving, the enemies animating people, evil is
-
increased. Maybe we've had something to do with that. We've been prophesying for
-
the increase is of his kingdom for two generations. But all of this,
-
you're going to be tested in your faith, and you know what, you
-
know what you need to believe. Father is putting the enemies of the Christ
-
under his feet. Father is putting the enemies of the Christ under his feet.
-
Father is putting the enemies of the Christ under my feet, under our
-
feet, because we've been made one with him, and he he Ephesians one,
-
nineteen through twenty three. He has given all authority to the Ecclesa,
-
to the Church, and put all things under our feet under our feet.
-
Father is putting every enemy of the Christ under his feet, every enemy of
-
the Christ under his feet. He is victorious in the nations, and he
-
shall be victorious in the nations. He shall be victorious over the demonic realm
-
and all that Satan would throw at humanity. Jesus is victorious. Daniel,
-
Chapter seven, verse thirteen. I love this one. I'm not going to
-
read all eight. Obviously, prophecy, the Messiah will have a throne that
-
is superior. The Messiah will have a throne that is superior. Daniel seven
-
thirteen. In my night vision, or in a vision at night, I
-
looked, and there before me was like a son of Man coming with the
-
clouds of heaven. And he approached the Ancient of days and was led into
-
his presence, and he was given authority and glory and sovereign power, and
-
all nations and peoples of every language, and a few nations and a few
-
languages, and everybody but the Palestinians, and most everybody but the Jewish folks,
-
and most everyone but a few nations in Africa, and then most everybody
-
but Canada, and then most everybody but France, and most everybody but a
-
few all nations. If the Bible says it, that's what I speak.
-
I can't say anything the Bible doesn't say. I don't have permission. I'm
-
under authority. I'm a son under authority, and the earth is depending on
-
me to come into agreement with the word of God. It's groaning for the
-
sons of God to rise up with the same obedience, the same agreement,
-
the same yielded heart that the son is operating in. The son agrees with
-
the father, and this son needs to agree with the father. And this
-
is what the word says. Daniel saw him ascending, and you know what
-
that was two thousand years ago, two thousand years ago. He fulfilled what
-
Daniels saw twenty seven hundred years ago. He is sended to the throne,
-
and he's not going to fail. He's not going to fail. All nations
-
and people of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that
-
will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.
-
Fulfillment. There's a lot of fulfillments for that one. Luke will thirty
-
one, you will conceive and give birth to a son. You are to
-
call him Jesus Joshua. Jesus is the Greek. The transliteration of the Greek
-
is Jesus Joshua. It's another fulfillment, savior of the people. He will
-
be great. He will be called the son of the Most High. The
-
Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will
-
reign over Jacob's descendants forever, and his kingdom will never end. All of
-
these words set him apart, Son of God, Son of Man, send
-
with me this morning. If he was a liar or a lunatic. No
-
one could ever make me believe that ten of the twelve apostles were martyred for
-
believing in a liar or a lunatic. Ten of the twelve boiled in oil,
-
hung upside down, murdered, crucified. Not one of you in this
-
room would do that for a liar or lunatic, nor for any amount of
-
money. But in John seven it says that his brother didn't believe in him.
-
But I was astounded to find that in Acts, chapter one, verse
-
fourteen, those who waited in the Upper room for those ten days until the
-
day of Pentecost came. It wasn't just the Apostles, it was his family
-
members. Mom was there, family was there, And it says the brothers
-
of Jesus were there praying until the day of Pentecost. Something happened after the
-
resurrection, something happened after the ascension. Even the unbelieving of his family became
-
believing. James went on right. The Book of James, one of the
-
most powerful books she'll ever read. He's given us an overcoming kingdom, and
-
we are today the bearers of light. We are the bearers of hope.
-
And yes, we've read to the back of the book and we win.
-
But we win today. We win today, and the generation that will see
-
the victory will come because of generations of those who have come into agreement with
-
his victory, because he does nothing except through and by the agreement of the
-
prophets, the professor spirit of hope and victory is alive in your heart,
-
wooing you, pulling you away from doubt and fear and unbelief, hopelessness,
-
negativity and discouragement, and pulling you into the life of the victory of Jesus.
-
And when you do that, you'll see, even in your space and
-
time, Satan will be defeated. And I think it's strange, and I
-
think it's unique, and I think it's fun that it's spelled d e f
-
e a t ed defeated, but it actually comes from d e f e
-
e t ed defeated. That the victory of Jesus in your life is to
-
cut the feet out from underneath Satan. The victory, the hope the love,
-
the life that you're tasting of. It's to defeat Satan. It's to
-
keep him as a serpent one with no feet. He can only be under
-
your feet because his feet are removed. As you embrace the victory of the
-
Christ, and as you come into agreement with your own voice, your own
-
word, your own heart, your own confession, Father puts the enemies of
-
Jesus under our feet. He puts the enemies of Jesus under my feet.
-
I don't even have to do it. I don't do it. I just
-
come into agreement. Father puts the enemies of Jesus under my feet. And
-
therefore he is defeat. Oh Father, we bless you today. We love
-
you, we glorify you, and again we just open our hearts to you.
-
We say yes to your victory. We say yes to the bearing of
-
light. Christ is the light bearer. Christopher, it's the light bearer.
-
We are Christians, we are the light bearers. And we leave this place
-
today fully animated, alive in your spirit, bearing the light of your son,
-
and rejoicing in the agreement we have with you that he overcomes, He
-
overcame, and he overcomes. We give you the phrase for it. In
-
Jesus' name, and everybody said, God, bless your church.
