Confounding the Woke Mind | Combatting Communism | July 26th 2026 | Craig Lapenski

This is a good place, good place to be.

Our wolves are in eastern Washington. It's their legacy weekend,

so we bless them, and they're having a good time,

and they're having fun. I'm just going to get going.

I'm just going to pray. Lord Jesus, I just thank

you so much. I thank you for your love shed

abroad for every person, every person on this planet, and

I just ask that let us just run into your light.

Let us run into it. Let us just stay there.

Let us camp there. Let us just be the place

where we reside. We just thank you for your great

love poured out for us. Amen. So some time ago,

Pastor Dwayne had an idea. His idea was he liked

kind of like the Charlie Kirk debate. How do you

bring a biblical worldview into modern day culture? And so

my message this morning is going to be one in

line with that, okay? So taking biblical worldview and applying

that to modern-day culture. So the title is going to

be called Combating Communism. It could also be titled Uncovering

Socialism or Combating Collectivism, okay? And before we get started,

just do a declaration with me. Say, I have the

mind of Christ. Okay? Our church has the mind of Christ.

So I'm going to have you put up my first

slide that says socialism. So I've got a lot to

unpack here, and so I'm just going to read kind

of quick. I'm going to give you the definitions of

some things, and we're going to look at some scriptures.

So socialism generally refers to an economic or social system

in which the means of.

Production, factories, land... Natural.

Resources tools are owned or regulated collectively by the state,

workers' cooperatives, or the community rather than by private individuals

for profit.

Core principles of socialism are.

Reducing economic inequality through wealth redistribution, progressive taxation, And welfare

programs are an expression or example of this. Prioritizing social welfare,

public services, so healthcare, education, housing, and workers' rights over

market competition, okay? And the next slide, I'm gonna chat

with you a little bit about communism because they're really,

really simple.

So next slide. Next slide.

So communism is like socialism with teeth in it. So

communism is a more radical ideology envisioning a classless, stateless,

moneyless society where the means of production are owned in

common by all the members of the society. And goods

are distributed based on need. Say, based on need.

Core principles.

So core principles of communism are that they draw from

Karl Marx, which we don't have time for, but it's

the abolition of private property in the means of production.

It's the elimination of social classes, the state, which withers

away after a transitional period, and exploitation. This is a

common phrase used in communism. From each according to their ability,

to each according to their needs. A fully egalitarian society

after capitalism is overthrown. After capitalism is overthrown. So both

socialism and communism are systems where we have to overthrow

capitalism or deteriorate the system to then... apply those perspectives

to the people that are.

Being governed, if that makes sense.

And so at the end, when it said an egalitarian society,

you might be thinking, well, what is an egalitarian society?

I'm going to describe that in the next slide. An

egalitarian society is the belief in human equality, which is

a good thing, right?

Human equality.

That was what the Declaration of Independence was. We believe

these rights so that every single person has inalienable rights

that God bestowed upon them because they're built in the

image and likeness of him. This was the founders of

our nation in 1776. So they believe in human equality,

particularly in social, political, and economic affairs.

It advocates the removing.

Of inequalities among people and promoting equal worth, rights, and treatment.

Equal access to all resources. Say that after me.

Equal access to all resources. That is egalitarianism, okay? And

you might be thinking, well, why am I expressing what

those things are? I want to share a scripture verse

with you and it's because I think that sometimes if

we know the word of God, we sometimes can get

a perspective on a spirit of the day or a

perspective on the day that may be in contradiction to

what God actually has to say, okay? So this is

Matthew 25, 14 through 30. I'm going to be like

reading a bunch right now and I'm going to like

just power through it, okay? and we're going to just

halt in certain spots. For it is just like a

man about to go on a journey who called his

own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. To one

he gave five talents, to another two, to another one,

each according to his own ability.

And he went on his journey.

The one who'd received five talents immediately went and did

business with them, and earned five more talents. In the

same way, the one who'd received the two talents earned

two more. But he who received the one talent went away,

dug a hole in the ground, and hid his master's money.

Now after a long time, the master of those slaves

came and settled accounts with them. The one who'd received

the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, Master,

you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have earned

five more talents. His master said to him, well done,

good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things.

I will put you in charge of many things. Say

many things. Enter the joy of your master. Think about

that term, enter the joy of your master. We're going

to kind of come back to that in just a

little bit. And the one who'd received two talents came

up and said, master, you have entrusted two talents to me. See,

I have earned two more. His master said to him,

well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with

a few things. I will put you in charge of

many things. Enter the joy of your master. Are you

noticing it's the exact same phraseology? Now the one who'd

received one talent also came up and said, Master, I

knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you

did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed.

And I was afraid, so I went away, hid your

talent in the ground. See, you still have what's yours.

But his master answered him and said to him, You worthless,

lazy slave. That's not a good thing you want to

hear from the master, right?

He said, did you not know that I weep where

I did not sow and gather where I did not

scatter seed? Then you ought to have brought my money

back and put it in the bank, and I would

have earned interest on it upon my arrival. Therefore, take

the talent away from him and give it to the

one who has ten talents. For to everyone who has,

more shall be given. And.

But for the one who does not have, even what

he does have shall be taken away. And throw the

worthless slave into the outer darkness. In that place there

will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

We don't have time for it now.

But if you were to go study Luke 19, verses

Luke 19:11–27

11 through 27, it is the parable of the minas.

The parable of the minas and the parable of the

talents are nearly identical. Okay? Okay? Same thing, God entrusted

them with something. What they did with it changed God's

response and then also determined what he was going to

do next in giving them more, okay? In the parable

of the Minas, he actually went to the one who

had 10 cities and he actually said, I'm going to,

or said to the one who he had given 10

things to, he said, I'm actually gonna give you 10

cities to actually administrate or manage now. So, like, what

we see in these two parables is that God is very,

very aware of what we do with what he entrusts

us with.

Very aware.

And if I was to read you Luke 16.10, the

one who is faithful in a very little thing is

also faithful in much. And the one who is unrighteous

in a very little thing is also unrighteous in much.

God does not give... equally to all.

We position ourselves for receiving based upon our faithfulness. If

you just looked back at the egalitarian communism and socialism

slides that we had, which we're not going to go

back to, what you would see is that in all

of those slides, the concept is that things are distributed,

resources are distributed based upon need. But when you look

through the scriptures, what you see is God actually doesn't

distribute in that way.

God doesn't distribute in that way.

I believe that socialism has actually worked itself, this concept

of egalitarian and communism, it's actually worked itself so, so

prevalently within our society today that We almost don't even,

it's so commonplace that we almost have a tough time

recognizing it.

What do I mean?

I actually think that there's a spirit of entitlement that's

at work in culture today that at its under root

foundational level, the root that creates that spirit of entitlement

is actually pride. It's look at me, I'm so valuable.

That means you need to give me this, that, and

the other right now. I am entitled to it. How

dare you not do for me what I'm telling you

you need to do right now?

What is that? That's a spirit of entitlement and it's

fueled by pride. Does that make sense?

What I'm going to share with you is egalitarianism is

that in governmental function.

What do I mean?

If God doesn't distribute equally Based upon need, but he

does it based upon faithfulness in the parable of the minas,

in the parable of the talents.

Guess what he does today? The exact same thing.

And the question, what do you need to give me

and what do you owe me.

Is the wrong question to ask.

The right question to ask is, Lord, what did I

do last with what you gave to me and what

you entrusted me with? Amen. What did I do last

with that? Did I pick it up and did I

work with it like you wanted me to? Am I

faithful for something else? Do you see what I'm talking about?

There's a biblical worldview and then there's a spirit of

the day. And those two things may not be the same.

And I'm going to share with you that they're definitely

not in right now what's going on.

I used to work in a job where we.

Were part of a union, and with that union, if

you signed on for the job, you would get paid for,

let's say, eight hours if we were driving cars off

of ships.

You would get paid for eight hours.

And if you could get it done in three or

four and just work really fast, what would happen is

you go home to lunch, and you don't have to

come back. Like, you still get paid, okay? This was

just the way that structures were set up. And what

ended up happening is on days where it looked like

the job might take four hours, everybody would crank it out,

work really, really fast. And then what would happen is

you'd get to go home at lunch and not return,

get paid for eight hours. But then what would happen

is if it looked like a job might actually take

eight hours or even seven, this conversation would happen. There

was even a motto created for it. The motto was

work slow for more dough. So people would actually say, hey,

let's all slow it down so that it'll take more

than eight hours. Because if you worked like seven minutes after,

you got paid for another half hour. And if you

worked so many minutes after, you got paid for another hour.

And people mastered the capacity of doing this. You work

really fast. If you can go home early, you work

really slow if it looks like it's actually going to

take the full length of the job. I was not

even a believer at this phase in my life. And

it drove me crazy because I'm like.

These people are stealing from their employer. This isn't right.

This is theft.

And I know nobody in here would do something like that,

but how many people have padded their hours at work?

How many people have taken the stapler home? How many

people during COVID when no toilet paper was available actually

took it from their employer? Um, I have a business

and there's like six of us that are in there.

And what happened is during COVID, all of our toilet

paper was disappearing.

And it's like, there's only so many of us here.

Like it has to be one of us.

I'm going to tell you that I actually, at one point,

I ended up firing an employee.

I fired the employee because they.

Were being dishonest and they were doing all kinds of

things when they should have been working, but they weren't working.

And so another employee, which is a faithful servant, they

screenshotted 37 pages of all the stuff that the person

should not have been doing while I was paying them.

And so I fired them.

I brought them into a room. We sat down.

We let them know, hey, can you tell me about this?

They were like, I don't know anything about that. Well,

what about this?

Then they cry. It's like, you know what?

We've already given you multiple chances, so today's going to

be your final day.

Let's grab the box and put your stuff in it.

And what happened is they actually went so far as

to contact the Washington State Employment Security Division and claim

they were wrongfully terminated. And a judge saw over it

and he said, nope, that was a correct termination. And

they appealed it. And after the second appeal and another judge,

the judge was like, no, they should have been terminated.

And then they hired a legal group for the third appeal.

On the third appeal, the beauty was the judge actually

kind of slapped him around a bit, rebuking them for

the fact that we went through what we went through.

And what I'm sharing with you is that it seems

to be the culture today that everybody has this work-life

balance concept. How many people have heard that term, work-life balance?

You should have a vacation and you should have time

for your family. But people today have adopted a worldview

that would suggest that I'm entitled to a work-life balance

and because I'm entitled to it by my pride, And

that means you need to pay for that. That means

I should be earning six figures and I only want

to work 20 hours a week so that I have

enough time for my entertainment. And if I fudge my hours,

that's not a problem at all because I'm entitled to

my work-life balance.

I want to read, wrong view, yeah.

I want to read some scriptures to you. Proverbs, I'm

going to read like five scriptures. We're going to do

this rapid fire. Bless you for those online, because I'm

doing rapid fire. It's tough when we do rapid fire.

Proverbs 23, 21.

For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty,

and drowsiness will clothe one with rags.

Say that again. What clothes one with rags? Drowsiness. Proverbs 12, 27.

The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent

feed on the riches of the hunt.

Proverbs 12, 24.

Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.

Laziness ends in forced labor. That doesn't sound fun.

To me. Proverbs 12, 11. Sorry, Albert. Those who work

their land will have abundant food. Say that.

Those who work their land will have abundant food. But

those who chase fantasies have no sense. I'm going to

share with you, I think that there's actually a lot

of people today who are not actively working their land

and so they're not experiencing abundant food. But what happens

is they're chasing fantasies. Maybe they're playing video games in

the basement. Maybe they're doom scrolling all day. Maybe their

lifestyle is entertainment alone. And maybe they're smoking weed and

still living in their.

Parents' basement.

What I'm going to tell you, I'm not, I'm like

being dead serious here. What I'm here to tell you

is that there's a whole lot of people who are

not experiencing abundant provision because they're not working their land.

And the Lord says, you're to work your land. And

if you don't do that, you're going to be without. Listen,

if you think that this is all like Old Testament,

here's the New Testament, Ephesians.

4, 28.

Anyone who's been stealing must steal no longer.

Say steal no longer.

Not toilet paper, not staplers, not hours on your time card,

not work slow for Mordeaux?

No, I'm serious. What do you think the Lord thinks

about this stuff?

Anyone who's been stealing must steal no longer, but must work.

Doing something useful with their own hands that they may

have something to share with.

Those in need.

Do you know you're working with your hands isn't just

for your own provision and your own family's provision? It's

so that you can support those in need. Who's supposed

to be supporting those in need?

The church. The church. not the government, the church.

But when they come to the church to get the

food or the need met, what happens is that the

church can actually train them up, raise them up, teach

them what they need to know so that they will

not stay in a place of what I'm gonna call self-harm.

Do you know that if I have a drug addiction

problem or if I'm smoking weed, watching video games all

day and I'm in need, what I don't need is

the government to give me more money.

What I need is someone to coach.

Me in how to work diligently and labor with my hands,

not only to produce for myself and my family, but

for those that are in need.

Does that make sense?

Because what you're going to get when you come to

the house of God isn't just a handout. You're going

to get the methodology for how to accumulate wealth and

how to become prosperous. Socialism hides itself with compassion for others,

but is truly about self.

You owe me.

You better give me. I deserve X, Y, and Z.

not what it can give to another. Socialism is not

about what it can give to another.

Neither is communism. Neither is egalitarianism. It's all about give

me what's mine.

And as long as the government is giving me what

I want and I'm getting what I think is mine,

then I'm happy to elect people or put people in

positions who give me what's mine because I'm entitled and

I'm prideful. We have a consumer society today rather than

a contributor society.

God called us to be contributors.

We're here to make the world a better place, to

make your life better, to create situations for the future

people that will come after us that will allow for

them to prosper. It is not about our self-aggrandizement. We

have a consumer society. Everything's about me, me, me, and me,

and more me. This is the culture of the.

Day that we live in.

I have watched people retire and go around cruises around

the globe.

Did you know you can stay on a cruise ship

for three, four months, even a year? Did you know that?

And it costs a lot of money. Here's what I'm

going to tell you.

I've watched people come back from those, and do you

know they are not happy?

They are not fulfilled.

Why? Why? Because humanity cannot find self-fulfillment in self-aggrandizement. They

only find self-fulfillment in loyalty and servanthood to the king.

1 Peter 1.18. For you know that it was not

with perishable things such as gold or silver that you

were redeemed from the empty way of life. Say empty

way of life. That was handed down to you from

your ancestors. There's an empty way of life that's trying

to be handed down to Americans, and they're buying it.

They're picking it up.

And it's fake news. It doesn't work.

For this is the message that I have come to

give to you, that I've heard and declared to you,

that God is light. In him, there is no darkness

at all. And if I claim to have fellowship but

walk in the darkness, I lie to myself, I deceive myself,

and I'm not walking out or abiding in the truth.

But if I will walk in the light as he

is in the light because I have covenant with him,

then he is faithful to purify me and cleanse me

I believe that the Lord wants to purify and cleanse

this entitlement mindset right out of us. Because it's rooted

in pride. And he has a very difficult time working

with humans when we're rooted in pride. Because he has

a kingdom he wants to expand. And if I'm all

about me, me, me, me, me, guess what I'm not about?

His kingdom.

Many Christians today are actually voting based upon this social

justice equality message, and it's completely unbiblical.

It's anti-biblical. God does not give equally to all.

He gives to us based upon our faithfulness with the

last thing he entrusted us with. Deuteronomy 8.18, I'm going

to be speeding up here. I'm going to be going

a few minutes over with how we, yeah. But you

are to remember the Lord your God, for it is

he who is giving you power to make wealth in

order to confirm his covenant, which he swore to your

forefathers as it is this day. Does God guarantee you wealth? No.

He says he gives you the power to make it.

By a co-laboring, oh yeah, by a co-ambassadorship, by an

abiding in him, by a running to the light and

staying in the light, staying camped in the light, by

covenant with the light, that's how he does this. I

want to share with you a brief story, and I

need to tell you this. Stewarding what is another man's

when it's entrusted to you, qualifies you to have something

worth stewarding yourself. My best friend is usually down here.

We have a lot of our leaders gone this weekend

for family things, which is good.

Family's good.

But my good friend Joe Sims is not here right now,

but one of the things I'll tell you about him

is God's prospered him. I'm gonna tell you one of

the reasons and I can see it on his life

in all the years I've known him. The reason why

God has prospered him is because he understands he's been

faithful with what another man entrusted him with. I've watched

him here being an armor bearer at the church. I've

watched him do it in business. He armor bared in business.

That is why God prospered him because another man entrusted

him with something and he didn't buck authority. People today,

there's a blessing of God that's supposed to be bestowed

upon the people of God that the people of God

are missing out on because they won't.

Sit under authority.

It's the independent spirit that will not allow someone to

sit under authority. And you can move yourself right out

of a blessing if he called you to camp under

another man.

I have experienced this.

Years ago, I served a man faithfully leading this group

of doctors. And after 47 years of practice, he ended

up passing. But before he did, he said to me,

he said, you're the one to carry this on. He

didn't say that because I showed up at the last

minute and said, hey, I'd like to have more responsibility.

He did it because I faithfully served him for years

and years and years. He instilled things in me that

other people never got instilled. And it made me worthy

to carry on the thing, the mantle he used to carry.

I would have removed myself from that blessing if I

let my pride come up and not serve him. This

is huge in the body of Christ today. Nobody can

serve anybody. Like everybody's got this like, I'm the top

and I'm... No, we need to submit to authority because

that's where God's hand of blessing flows. Servanthood, not entitlement,

qualifies you to lead and for God to be able

to give you something.

Did you hear that?

Servanthood and not entitlement. There's a global move towards collectivism

where you won't own a home.

You won't own property.

The government will supply all of your food and housing.

This is what's pervasive out there right now. It's going

on all over the globe. However, what they don't tell

you is they also get to tell you what you

get to do, what you get to think, and where

you get to go. You subject yourself to something. I'm

probably going to offend somebody in here right now. But socialism, communism,

and Marxism are doctrines of demons. Entitlement has actually woven

itself into America and into much of the church, where

the church is actually partnering with doctrines of demons in

the unclean realm.

We got to get the gunk out.

We got to not participate with things that are in

contradiction to God and his word and his ways and

how he works. You don't want to partner with the

spirit of entitlement because you move yourself right out of

his blessing. Venezuela was a mostly capitalist nation. 1950s through

the 1990s, with private enterprise and oil-driven growth, it had

Latin America's highest living standards.

Say highest living standards.

The shift towards socialism ramped up after Hugo Chavez's election

in 1998 with major nationalizations, price controls, and expanded state

control in the 2000s.

It collapsed. Say collapsed. Collapsed.

In 2014 under Maduro, with hyperinflation, mass immigration, extreme poverty

hitting over 80% at its worst. That's socialism for you.

So if you're being told at school, socialism's great, now

think again. You're being lied to. Here's communism for you.

For Lenin, from 1917 to 1924, Total excess deaths under

him are in the 5 to 8 million range by

executions and famine. And if that's not enough communism, here's

more communism. For Stalin, from the late 1920s to 1953,

archives show that 6 to 9 million deaths were from

direct repression, 800,000 executions, 1.7 million people were in the gulags,

Hundreds of thousands of people were deported. Seven million died

in 1932 and 1933 from a famine. And the total

estimates for all mortality, excess mortality, beyond just like humans

living out their life expectancy, for Stalin are 15 to

20 million people.

This is Mao in China. China.

Mao's rule from 1949 to 1976 had catastrophic human consequences

for China. Total SS deaths under Mao are estimated in

the 40 to 70 million range.

Communism, China, Mao.

There is probably no single more destructive force that's ever

impacted humanity other than saying yes to the blood and

gospel of Jesus Christ than the adoption of socialism, communism, egalitarianism,

and Marxism. There's literally no things that have caused more

harm to all of humanity than these things.

And if we as the church and we as Americans.

Today can't wake up and realize that this is a

doctrine of demons in complete opposition to God and his

word and his ways, then we're going to see our

nation be massively harmed, which means your kids and your

grandkids are gonna be harmed. We need to spread the

truth about these narratives that are fake. People are going

to school every day and they're being told socialism's great.

Communism's great.

Tell me about 40, 70 million people under one leader's

rule who've been killed.

Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?

We have such a level of unawareness of actual truth

and history that people are going to be harmed if

they don't wake up. Here's one of the challenging things.

Marxism requires that there be an oppressor and an oppressed group.

So One group's the oppressor, one group is the oppressed.

Does that make sense? And the idea is that you

have to divide everybody into factions and you have to

make them an oppressed group, okay? So your faction's an

oppressed group and your faction is an oppressed group. And

we need to get you all hating one another because

you're entitled to something. And nobody's giving you what you want,

your pride's rising up. And so then what happens is

now your groups are fighting. And what we do is

we get all the groups to fight and then we

overthrow the system. That is the only way capitalism goes away, people,

is if oppressor and oppressed groups can be aligned with

by the populace.

And do you know why you don't align as an.

Oppressor or oppressed group? Because you're an overcomer in Christ.

How can you be an oppressed group when you're an

overcomer in Christ? If he gives you the victory and

spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him and

2 Corinthians, or 1 Corinthians 2.14, 1 Corinthians 15.57, if

he gives you the victory everywhere you put your foot,

then how could you be part of an oppressed group?

You can't do it.

It's the antithesis of the gospel to align with being oppressed.

People are buying into something right now that is going

to cause them harm. Capitalism, my last slide.

We're doing this. We're making it. It's happening. Last slide. Okay,

this is what capitalism is.

It's a market-based system with private property, voluntary exchange, competition,

incentives for innovation and investment, has been strongly associated with

large-scale improvements in material living standards, poverty reduction, and economic

growth over the past two centuries. These outcomes are supported

by all kinds of things that we're not going to

talk about.

Next slide, please.

The Heritage Foundation has a beautiful thing. It's called the

Index of Economic Freedom. It scores countries on the rule

of law, government size, regulatory efficiency, and the openness of

its markets. And it rates free or mostly free economies

having average incomes more than twice of the rest of

the countries and more than five times repressed countries. Countries

that have repressed economic systems have five times lower economic earnings.

Do socialism and communism work? They don't.

They never have. It turned Venezuela into destruction. It's turned

China and the former USSR into destruction. Why would Americans

start to do this? It's because they don't know what

spirit they're participating with. They don't understand that there's a

spirit of entitlement that's ruminating in their heart due to

the pride that's in them saying, you owe me this.

And then they're.

Having a worldview that aligns as an oppressed group. This

is all the opposite of the gospel, people. It's the

opposite of the gospel. Do you know that James Madison,

the founder of the constitutions, These people went into a

room in Pennsylvania.

They locked themselves in there. And you know what they did?

They prayed.

And they came up with the most beautiful system that

has ever existed on planet Earth. And you might think, oh, no,

I heard that's not true in school. Socialism's better. Communism's better.

That's fake news. These people actually were so learned, it's ridiculous.

We don't even have intellectuals today. Do you know everybody's

so busy smoking weed, doing entertainment, and doom scrolling that

no one has any smarts?

Not you at New Horizon. You guys are smart. You're

overcomers in Christ. He gives you the victory.

But my point in saying this is that we don't

even have intellectuals. James Madison was an intellectual. James Madison

had a massive understanding of of every government system that

had come before. And what they had looked at heavily

was that republics were the most effective.

Republics were the most effective.

They'd looked at the Roman Republic and the Grecian Republic

and all these different time periods throughout history.

Their level of knowledge of world history was off the charts.

And what they did is they said, this seems to

be the most effective governance. However, there's a few flaws

that we see. The few flaws we see, let's come

up with solutions for it. So they did, and it's

called the Declaration of Independence, which says that you have

certain inalienable.

Rights because you were formed in the image of the Creator.

that your value is the same thing that the blood

paid for. You have the same value as Jesus, and

because your value is the same value as Jesus' value is,

then what it means is we need to have a

way to protect the people, and we have a bill

of rights, and we have a constitution. And then he said,

but the problem with democracies is they're prone to mob rule.

The people could all gather up and then take something

from somebody else if they don't like them.

So they said, well, we need three branches of government.

These people were anointed with the Holy Spirit. They were learned,

like learned like people don't even understand today.

Smart, intellectual, knowledgeable.

And these people came up with a beautiful thing that

you and I are currently experiencing. And I want my

kids and grandkids to be able to experience that too.

And if we don't wake up people, And if we

don't start to rebuke the spirits that are at work

behind these doctrines of demons, we're going to see our

country get lost. So I'm gonna have you, we're gonna

pray together, okay? And then on our way out, we'll

worship and then you can go get your kids. But

I wanna pray with you, okay?

Stand up with me. Lord Jesus, we break.

Off every tie that would align with entitlement. We break

off pride. We rebuke pride. We rebuke entitlement. We kick

it out. We say it's not welcome. We say it

has no room in our hearts, in our minds. We

say that we have the mind of Christ. We say

that we do not agree with becoming oppressed or being oppressed.

we say that we rebuke off laziness. We say you wake.

Us early in the morning with energy in.

Our muscles to labor so that we put our hand

to the plow in our field and we lack no

good thing. We say that you've delivered us from the

empty way of life that many are experiencing, even some

of our ancestors. And we say, no, we partner with

the life-giving blood of Jesus. We walk in the light

of it. We won't walk in the darkness at all.

We say we rebuke the darkness. We say we have

covenant with him. And his blood cleanses us. Even it

cleanses our mind from thinking that is off.

It just rebukes it right out. We kick it out.

We say we rebuke off self-centeredness. We say we rebuke.

Off contradictions that will not allow for us to function

under healthy godly authority. We kick these things out. We

say they're off of us. We rebuke them. We say

they have no place in the church. They have no

place in the United States of America. And we say

we will fight for the heritage of our nation, for

the freedoms that these anointed ones that came before us

declared and set up for us. We say we will

not go down silently.

We will express to our children.

We will teach people these doctrines of demons, what they are,

expose them, shed the light of the gospel on them,

And we kick these things out of America in the

name of Jesus Christ.
