Kingdom Rise Conference - Day 4 - Session 1 - Pastor Darrell Huffman

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith, Message podcast

from st. Augustine Florida.

Now, enjoy this message. What God's doing?

Amen! Hallelujah right now, we're

going to invite you to go to Hebrews the first chapter,

Hebrews chapter 1 and I'm going to begin in verse 1.

Hebrews 1 · chapter mention

The Apostle writing to the Hebrew, Christians is revealing

to them. Actually, the book of Hebrews is

great because he takes you out of the law into Greece and and

brings you over into a living relationship of the Lord.

He also, teach you, how Faith was used in the old days and how

it's used for today, and, and how we walk in the things of

God. But he begins this first chapter

by speaking to us about how it all has come to pass and he

says, God who at various times and in various ways spoke in

time, Past to the father's by the prophets has in these last

days spoken to us by his son, whom he has appointed, heir of

all things through whom also, he made the world's.

Now, notice here, that that God is speaking through the prophet

here and he says that God has always been speaking to his

people. Amen.

Before the Lord Jesus, he spoke to us through His prophets, he

spoke to us, you know, through the Old Testament, he was

constantly speaking. You know a lot of people don't

understand. God's always talking to you.

The problem is not God, talking to us problems us hearing him.

Amen, I remember one time I was having a struggle and so I began

to press in and I prayed and fasted and prayed and fasted.

And I've got about three days into my prayer and fasting and

the Lord spoke to me. And it was just like, he was

booming at me voice. Just real loud.

I said Lord, why are you talking so loud?

He said, I'm not talking loud. This is my normal voice.

You've just been so far away from me.

It sounded small to you. He said you finally got close

enough to hear me. Amen.

Sometimes if we're not hearing from God, we need to press in

until we can get our ears open up enough to hear him because

he's speaking to us, he says, and he's also now spoken to us

through his son. Whom he has appointed all things

in whom, he made the world. In other words, the Lord Jesus,

with the word. And we know in Genesis one that

God created all things through the word.

Amen. So Jesus was in the creation.

And he says, who being the brightness of his glory and the

express image of his person and upholding All Things by the word

of his power. What's he mean?

Being the brightness of his glory and the express image of

his person? Jesus was God expressing himself

to us. Amen.

If you want to know, what God's will is look to Jesus.

If you want to know what God will do for you, look to Jesus,

because Jesus was God, expressing himself to humanity,

he was God in flesh. And as Pastor has brought out

the Lord never did. Anything of his own measure.

He always did what his father told him to do and said what his

father told him to say and acted like his daddy.

Amen. And so he was God speaking to

us, then notice here that it says, in his upholding, All

Things by the word of his power where there is Rhema rhe, ma the

spoken word of his power. Notice, if you want to release

the power of God, you need to speak the word.

You can't. You can't speak your words of

doubt and unbelief, and release the power of God, and you can't

get the power of God then speak. God is upholding All Things.

By the spoken word of his power. His power is released when he

speaks the word. Hallelujah.

And we've already heard that we've already seen that.

Your faith can't be released until you speak.

Amen. The Lord Jesus in Mark 11:23,

Mark 11:23

telling us how to release the faith that we're supposed to

have said, say, to this mountain.

And the mountain doesn't do anything until you speak to it.

Amen. You didn't get saved until you

confess Jesus, as Lord, you said it and then when you said Jesus

Is My Lord, salvation came in your life.

So everything operates, through the spoken word and God is

upholding All Things. By the spoken word.

God is speaking to us and we have to act on what he says.

And when we act on what he says, it releases his power to operate

in our lives. Amen.

And so it goes on. He says, this.

Once again, who being the brightness of his glory, the

express image of his person and upholding All Things by the word

of his power. Listen, when he had by himself

purged, our sins sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on

High, having become so much better than the angels, as he is

by inheritance obtained. A more excellent Name than they

For unto, which of the Angels did he ever say you are my son

today? I have begotten, you Again, I

will be to him a father and he shall be to me a son.

Now he's not talking here about when Jesus was born in the

major. He's talking about when the

Lord. Jesus Christ was born again in

the belly of the hell and and Rose up and became the

Conquering King that he is today.

Amen. Because he says, and again, I

will be to you, my father. Well, when was he not his

father? When Jesus was on the cross.

He cried out my God, my God. The father was judge In the Sin

of humanity and the rebellion of humanity in his son and Jesus

was separated from the father. And so Jesus was down into the

the region of darkness and doing through all the torments for you

and me Isaiah, all the prophets talked about, you know, when we

talk about Redemption, how he suffered sickness disease, he

was beaten. He was bruised.

He was battered. He was all these things for you

and me. Amen.

But there comes a down, Resurrection morning, when God

speaks. And he says today you Or my son.

And again, I will be your father and when he spoke that all of

hell and all the devils and demons and everything else could

not stop the Lord, Jesus Christ from flinging off, all them

things and rising up as the Conquering King, Hallelujah.

In an amazing doctor, the Lord has suffered three days and

three nights and pay the price took our place.

All it took was a word from the father to raise him up and

defeat everything around him. And Jesus responded to that word

and the power of God came on him right there.

How they lujah. Now, let's see what happens down

here when Jesus is being raised up.

He says I will be to him a father and he will be to me a

son and went again. He brings the first born into

the world. He says that all the angels of

God worship Him and of the angels He says who makes his

angels spirits and his ministers, a flame of fire, but

to the sun he says your throne o.

God is for ever. And ever a scepter of

righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated on us.

Therefore God your God has anointed you with the oil of

gladness more than your companions.

How? They'll Ouya notice that the

Lord Jesus Christ was raised up a king.

Amen. And his kingdom would be ruled

by a scepter of righteousness and of his kingdom.

There would be no in the Luke and Luke chapter 1.

Luke 1 · chapter mention

He says, so Jesus has been raised up and seated as king

above everything. Hallelujah.

Are you listening to me? And he's Lord, and he's King and

he rules with righteousness. And we find in Romans 14 that

the kingdom of God is just not the natural things that you see

in this world. But the kingdom of God is the

force of righteousness operating in your life.

Standing and rights with God, is the force of Peace.

You've got the peace of God while Romans 5 says, now we have

been brought back into peace with God.

We're not at odds with him anymore.

He men, but it's also, the joy of the Holy Ghost.

Praise God, was joy. Joy is a spiritual force that

operates in you, that stops the lies of the devil in its tracks.

If the devil can't steal your joy, he can't steal your goods.

Hallelujah. Amen.

Because DM, I said the joy of the Lord is my strength and

right there. Joy is not Happiness.

Joy is not a feeling, Joe is a spiritual force.

It says that God before me, who can be against me and I'm gonna

praise God. I don't care what's going on.

You can't tell me that Paul and Silas had a lot of Happiness

down in the in that jail. But Paul knew he was righteous

Paul headpiece at that, God was going to get him through and

Paul release the joy of the Lord in that place.

Hallelujah. Because they begin to sing

praises. How many of, you know, there was

not a lot of inspiration in those praises?

Man, this jail still stinks and these chains.

I'm just inspired to sing praises.

Hallelujah. No, it was his relationship with

his king and the relationship that he had in the kingdom of

God. The Revelation that he had of

what the kingdom of God was. The kingdom of God is not just,

you know, just what we see, just what we can taste, what's going

on right now. The kingdom of God is that right

now? Invisible force, that's

operating on the inside of me and around me that you might not

be able to see, but I see it. And it gives me victory over

everything. That's coming against me how

they live. And so the Lord Jesus Christ is

raised up as king. And so, we see that the kingdom

of God is established in the kingdom of God begins to work.

And so the Lord is going to rule, and he's going to rain

now. Look in first Corinthians, the

15th chapter, 1st Corinthians chapter 15.

Over here, the Apostle Paul gives us some some more

Revelation as we look into this and we drop down here in 1st

Corinthians, 15 to verse 20. And he says, but now is Christ

risen from the dead and has become the firstfruits of those

who have fallen asleep for Since By Man Came Death by man also

came the resurrection of the Dead for as in, Adam all die.

Even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

But each one in his own order Christ, the firstfruits

afterward, those who are Christ's at his coming, then

comes the end when he delivers the kingdom to God the father,

when he puts the end, All Rule and all authority and power for.

He must Reign until he has put all enemies under his feet.

The Last Enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Notice here that the Lord Jesus Christ is still doing his

father's will. Even as the Lord and King over

the kingdom and ruling over the kingdom.

He still doing it as unto his father because there Comes a Day

When Death is finally destroyed in the cause of death as finally

Joy. When all this stuff comes to

conservation, even the Lord, Jesus turns the kingdom over to

the father. So the Lord is still teaching us

stewardship. Because he's being a good

Steward as king over the kingdom of God and ruling over the

kingdom of God, in behalf of his father.

And for his father and there's going to come a day when he's

going to present the kingdom and all of his citizens to the

father. And we're going to all be

together and rejoice. Hallelujah.

But until then he's ruling and he says he has to rule over the

kingdom until all of his enemies are put under his feet.

And The Last Enemy that has to be put under his feet is death.

Isn't that right? And somebody comes along and

says, well, wait, A Min has put in death.

We all understand that that death is still in the earth.

People are dying. Amen.

But you've got to understand something folks.

There are, there are actually three steps or three phases of

Jesus, destroying death. You got to get a hold of this.

The first phase of Jesus destroying death was to conquer

the one who was over death. That is the devil.

And in Hebrews, chapter 2, verses 14 and 15, I quote, it

Hebrews 2:14

was Rita. Praise God, go ahead and let's

look at it. Help sometimes if we just take

some time and look at it, Hebrews 2:14 says, in as much as

Hebrews 2:14

the children have partaken of Flesh and Blood.

He Jesus himself Why shared in the same that through death, he

might destroy him. Who had the power of death.

That is the devil and release those who through fear of death

were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

When the Lord Jesus Christ was taken down into hell, and what

to the place of suffering for you?

And me, he took upon himself, our death.

He was made to be sin for us who knew no sin.

That we could be made the righteousness of God.

Amen, so that's in death Came Upon Jesus.

He was Separated from the father.

So Jesus went down. But here's the thing you've got

to understand when Jesus went down into hell, he conquered

death. How did he conquered death?

There's two ways you can lose Authority, Adam lost his

authority by not using it. If you don't use your Authority

the one you should be using it against will steal it from you

and take it from you and use it against you.

So, Adam lost his authority because he wouldn't use it.

But then the second way you lose Authority is by abusing it.

And the devil abused his authority.

How did he abused his authority? He took an innocent man down

into hell. He had no right to take the

Lord, Jesus down into hell and put him through that suffering.

Because Jesus had had no sin and after three days and three

nights of judgment. The father.

Look down and says I see no sin in him.

So, therefore, again, you are my son and today, I raise you up

and when he did Jesus went over and took the keys of death and

hell away from the Devil Revelation says, took the crown

off of his head that he had taken off of Adam's head, and

put it on his own, and came up out of that grave with the keys

and with the crown. And he was raised up king of

kings and Lord of lords, and now Jesus has all authority.

Cozy, took it back from the Devil.

And since Jesus is being a good Steward, over the kingdom of God

with that Authority, it will never be lost.

And the great thing about that Authority is this, that Jesus is

now the one who's over that Authority and he says, in

Matthew 28, behold I give you authority to go into all the

world and make disciples. Hallelujah.

You, and I get to operate in that original Authority.

That God gave to Adam because Jesus went down and took it

back. Hallelujah.

Whew, and that good. And so now we have a Lord that

we can trust. And so we see the first phase of

the destruction of death and Jesus overcoming.

His enemies was in his resurrection when he defeated

and paralyzed and took away from the devil.

His right to enforce spiritual death.

What do you mean Satan cannot stop anybody from getting saved?

I don't care who you are. You can be the worst of the

worst. But if you say Jesus, be my

Lord, Satan has no power to stop you from having eternal life

imparted into you that moment. Are you hearing me?

So in that face, death is already defeated and destroyed

because it no longer can control you and keep you away from God.

Are you listening to me? But then the second place that

the death is destroyed and brought into a place is at the

millennial reign of the Lord, Jesus of the beginning of the

Millennium in Revelation, 20 verses 1 through 3, when the

Revelation 20:1–3

Lord comes back and he said, sup his throne, the The Angels, Take

the the devil's and take him and throw him into the bottomless

pit. Amen.

And so, he's defeated that time. So now then that's It's the

second phase of Jesus destroying and ruling over that.

But the Final Phase of Jesus defeating and destroying death,

because he's got a rule and Reign.

He can't turn the kingdom over to the father Until the Last

Enemy is completely destroyed. Amen.

So during the millennial Reign Jesus rules for 1000 Years and

we're here with him and death is destroyed and and and basically

put the one who's over death is now locked up.

But then unfortunately, you know, we've already talked to

you about the to ages and during this Millennial age at the end,

the devil's Lucifer season. And here Allison, he comes.

But what happens? Well, as same Revelation 20 we

find out that whenever God to the Lord, you know, God comes

back and the Great White Throne comes down.

God takes death. He'll the grave, the beasts and

everything and, you know, whatever and throws him into the

Lake of Fire. And a new Heaven, A New Earth

come in, praise God. And finally death is totally

conquered and Jesus has defeated all the enemies of humanity and

then he turns the kingdom over to the father.

Hallelujah. You know, the great thing about

that is this we are already getting to participate in all of

this. Hallelujah, I'm glad I got in,

you know, we're born. In this particular case we

talked about earlier. I'm still recapping some of the

stuff and adding a little bit to is that alright?

CM Mark chapter 10 when Jesus was talking to the Rich, Young

Mark 10 · chapter mention

Ruler, we shot. Well, ready to go to there.

But in the end, when the disciple said, well, Lord, we

left all and followed you, we've we totally given ourselves to

you completely. And he said whoever gives up

whatever and gives themselves completely me, will it will

receive a hundredfold in this time with persecutions and in

the age to come eternal life. So the Lord shows us there's two

time periods or two ages there that were to be in Matthew 12.

32 Jesus said you know if you speak a word against the holy

spirit, will not be forgiven in this age, or in the age to come.

So he, again, refers to two different ages.

So, we're in the church age right now.

Praise God and it began whenever Christ was raised.

From the dead, praise the Lord, and and salvation came.

And so, we entered. But notice he said that in this

age were living in. We can get blessed, but we're

going to get persecuted and tested and tried and fustat

because we get blessed, how many of you found out when you got

saved the little persecution, came along with it.

Oh, there comes holy Joe. You think you're really

something L? Don't you?

Just because you go to church, don't mean your something.

I know what you used to do. Nobody here has ever had that

done to you, I'm sure. But you're going to get

persecuted, you know, I mean, you know, you finally believe

God and get a nice car that you don't have to put as much all

in, as you do gasps, every time you open.

Yeah. And you'll never go who will

look at mr. And mrs.

Up. And he got you a nice car hood.

Now, you really think you something, don't you?

Well, I just got a car. The starts all the time,

whenever I turn the key, Hallelujah, you should be happy

for me. I just my faith is growing glory

to God. So, how many of you found out

the world? Doesn't really get all excited

because your faith is grown. How many found out some

Christians? Don't get real excited because

your faith. So we're living in this age,

where there is persecution, where there is tests and trials.

Jesus said, over there, Matthew though, he said, listen when

they're persecute you and say all kinds of things falsely

against you, for my sake, just rejoiced with exceeding, this

Rejoice because great is your reward.

Amen. So so we learned operate in this

age were living in and it also opens our eyes up to.

Let us know that they're still a devil in this age.

Because 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 says Satan is still the God of

this this world system. And like, we brought up before,

when Jesus conquered him, he didn't remove him.

The devil doesn't get removed until the Millennium and then

that's not a permanent removal. That's just a day.

Somebody says a day. Yeah, Peter said a day with the

Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day.

So he spends one day locked up in the gods time.

Amen. But then you see we began to

find out that that even now though, there's there's demons

who have deal with Ephesians chapter 6.

Ephesians 6 · chapter mention

You know, we put on the armor so we can overcome principalities

Powers, rulers of darkness, and wicked spirits.

And overall The scheme's Wiles and plans of the devil, we have

to lift up the shield of Faith. So we can quench all the Flaming

missiles that he is throwing at us.

Amen. So we get up every day, and put

our armor on and put our faith in God, and walk in our

righteousness and get move over into our Authority as citizens

of the kingdom of God. And we say, doesn't matter

what's coming against me today? No weapon formed against me

today, shall prosper? Because greater is he that's in

me than he does against me. And I'm not unaware.

That there is an enemy out here and he's defeated but he still

got a mouth and so therefore he's going to try to talk.

He's going to try to persecute he's going to try stir up things

against me, but that's okay, Lord.

You've already prepared my way. Today.

And I'm going to walk in you and nothing's going to cause me to

be defeated day in Jesus name. Amen.

Even if they beat me and throw me in jail midnight, I'll pray,

sing praises, shake the place, come out there, give the jail to

save the prisoners say and still do what God called me to do,

because I'm walking in righteousness.

Peace and joy in the Holy Ghost and I understand the season and

the time that I am living in Hey man.

It's like somebody. Yeah, first game up the brother

Hagin one time and it was Joel Just emotional.

And said, brother Hagin. He said yeah, said would you

pray for me that I'll never have another problem with a devil?

He said you want me to pray for you to die.

She said oh no, no don't want to die.

He said, well honey that's only what.

You're never gonna have another problem with the devil he said.

And besides that, if I could pray that I'd pray for me.

Hey man, glory to God no in this world, you're going to have

tests and trials tribulation but be of good cheer.

I have overcome the world. John 16:33.

John 16:33

Amen. So we see that the death is in

the process of being destroyed right now.

Amen. And you find it, basically three

phases there of destruction of death.

And in each one, the Lord is setting people free to the

point. That finally, there is no more

death And the kingdom of God, is established in its fullness and

the Lord then turns all over to his father as a good Steward and

they Reign Over Us in Heaven and Earth comes together.

Amen isn't that good news. But here in Hebrews chapter 1 I

Hebrews 1 · chapter mention

mean sorry Galatians chapter 1 In verses 3 4 and 5, the Apostle

Galatians 1 · chapter mention

writing here to the church. He says he says this.

He says, I'm he says grace to you and peace from God, the

father and our Lord. Jesus Christ who gave himself

for our sins, that he might Deliver Us from this present

evil age, according to the will of our God and Father to whom be

glory forever and ever. Amen.

Notice here again, that Paul tells us that We're living in

this present, evil age. But the grace and mercy of God

has already been poured out to us so that we can operate in

peace and walk in Victory right now.

During this present evil age, Amen.

Now, here's the thing. You got to understand folks.

In First Corinthians chapter 13, you know, we read it all to the

1 Corinthians 13 · chapter mention

love chapter but, you know, you get down around verse 9 and he

starts talking about the, where we're at how we see through a

glass Darkly and we know in part, but then we're going to

see clearly and we're going to do in fullness.

You know what he's talking about there, he's talking about when

the Lord comes back. See the millennial Reign.

We're not going to have this body.

We're gonna have our glorified body and we're not going to

operate in limited knowledge. We're going to have full

knowledge and we're not going to see the Lord by faith.

We're going to be able to go to his throne in Jerusalem and just

be around him all day long. Hallelujah.

And we're going to know everything.

Our faith is going to operate in a fullness.

Are you listening to me? See, it's hard for us to Fathom

now because we're only operating in A small percentage of what we

have in this world may men. But then we're going to lay all

that off and we're going to know fully just as he knows.

Hallelujah. I'm gonna have full revelation

of God, full revelation of rice full, revelation of faithful,

Revelation my authority in my power, and who I am.

And I'm going to live in that, praise God.

Without the restraints of the physical body is going to get

tired. A man will get to walk on water.

Hallelujah, are you listening to me?

I mean, you know, the disciples have the resurrection of Jesus.

They were having, you know, meeting and he walked through

the wall and walked in the room and just appearing.

Wow. What do you think people going

to be like when we show up, boom?

Hallelujah. And so we're going to live in

that but we're not living in that right now.

Amen. Right now, we're living in a

body that will talk to us. It's too early to get up.

Surely, you can sleep another hour and a half.

Maybe dare to Hallelujah, whatever.

Anybody had have your body talk to you say, don't you even tell

them you like him? Because you don't like smacking

holiday? No, no, your body's talk to you

like that, do huh? Especially when somebody pulls

out in front of you. Then shake their fists at you.

And your flash just says all pray for, Hallelujah.

Anybody that just said that we have a prayer for an altar call

for liars in just a little bit and we're going to get you back

in fellowship with God hallelujah.

No your flesh will tell you things, a man your flesh will

fight. You aren't you?

Glad that in the millennial Reign?

We're not going to have any fighting with our flesh.

We're going to know everything in his fullness.

But right now, what we have to do is this, we have to press in

and find out. Okay?

Lord, how you're going to deliver Me in this present evil

age. Because that is going to take

care of herself. I'm not there yet.

What I need to do is I need to learn.

How do I walk in Victory now? Okay.

How do I apply my faith? Now, how to overcome now?

Because that's what I need, how am I to fight the good fight of

Faith? Now and be more than a conqueror

and walk in these things, you've called me to be.

He just said he's going to Deliver Us from this present

evil age. How's he going to delivers?

How's he going to do this? Well, look back over in Hebrews

Hebrews 1 · chapter mention

chapter 1 again. Hebrews the first chapter and

we'll look at the verse we just read just a few minutes ago.

Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 3, who being the brightness of his

Hebrews 1 · chapter mention

glory and the express image of his person.

Now, listen and upholding All Things by the word of his power.

How is the Lord going to deliver me from this present, Wicked

evil age and calls me to walk in Victory, caused me to be able to

partake of the blessings of Abraham and live in the

victories that he's given to me. I have to operate on the spoken,

Rhema word of God. Amen.

Are you listening to me? You got to understand that.

You got to take this Bible and it's got to go from the letter

of the law to the spirit of the law, because the letter kills,

but the spirit gives life. And Jesus said, the words that I

speak unto you, they are Spirit. And they are life so you can't

just read the Bible. As a rule book, you have to read

the Bible is God speaking to you as a personal message to you

because when it becomes him talking to you and not just a

rule to live by, then it has the power to uphold you even in this

wicked age with all the enemy coming against you.

Hallelujah. And then, let's go over to

Hebrews the sixth chapter. Look at this one and verse 5.

He's talking about, you know, people that fall away.

But here here's a truth here in verse 5 that will help us and

have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to

come. How am I going to taste of the

powers of the age to come? Remember we talking about two

ages. We're talking about the age were

living and now, the church age this present evil age where we

get blessed with persecutions. But then, there's the age to

come where the power of God is in operation.

Jesus is thrown is on the earth, and he's ruling and reigning in

righteous. And we're with him.

Hallelujah. We're we know it.

We know in part. Now, we know and fullness then,

but we're not there yet. So you know, how am I going to

do this? What the Lord is saying to me is

this, he's saying if you will listen to the word of God and

let us speak the power and the power, the ability of God into

you. And Will that word into your

heart? That word will help you in your

times of test to reach over into the age to come and pull the

power? That's operating in that age

over into this age and give you the victory right now.

Hallelujah, many what? I don't have to wait till the

Millennium to start walking in Victory to be more than a

conqueror. To be an overcomer to prosper in

life, to have healing in my body.

Hallelujah. But how am I going to partake of

the powers of God? How am I going to taste?

How many of, you know, just tasting of the powers of the age

to come? Is enough to get you blessed in

these, we're living in now, I don't have to have the the full

steak. Just give me a bite of it.

Hallelujah. Just a bite of that steak of

fill me up for the next Thousand Years.

Hallelujah. And so he's saying how you going

to do? He says you have to take that

good word of God and build it in your system.

I have to be a word person. Are you hearing me and I'm not

talking about a legalist word person.

I'm talking about taking God's word as God speaking.

A personal message to me that it is his will for my life and it

is the foundation of what I'm doing act, like I act because

God said I can act this way. I have what I have because God

said, this is what I can have. Amen.

And I don't have to explain it to you.

I don't have to defend myself to you, because I'm following the

word of the Lord. And he's the one that's in

charge. Just like Jesus did have to

explain himself to the Pharisees, never know, said

Jesus didn't defend himself explain himself. he just looked

at me and said, you know what, I listen and say the things I hear

my father say and do and you listen and say the things you

hear your father say, They said we have but one Father Abraham

he said no know if you was Abraham's children, ye would do

the works of him. I'll tell you who your father

is. Your father is the devil and

he's a liar Bill are from the beginning.

So are you goes, you acting like him and talking like him and

listen to him because you see who's ever word that you receive

as a word, you have to enter into a relationship.

You see? I can be in a room and because

my wife and I, you know, it's real funny and in August This

year will have been 50 years since we met each other.

Amen. Fall of 73.

We met each other. How they lie?

And so, you know, after half a century, you know, I can be in a

room like this and I can hear her voice out of everybody

else's when she's needing me. Why?

Because I'm very familiar. I know that voice.

I mean, Covenant with that voice.

Amen. Now people, I may not know, I

may, you know, may not pay any attention.

And what we've got to do is this week, there are many voices in

the world. The Bible says, none of them

without significance, but the voice of we need to hear the

voice of God. Speaking his word into her

heart, into her life, because faith comes by hearing and

hearing by the word of God. It's up to hear it.

And to hear it, I've got have a relationship with my father

through my Lord and King the Lord Jesus Christ, that is so

intimate that when he speaks, I get upheld because I'm being

upheld by the spoken word of his power, my life.

Why do you believe you can do that?

Well, I believe I can do that because I was reading this book.

And God talk to me right out of that thing and see.

This verse is no longer just a verse on this page.

It's implanted and printed in my heart.

And God is just not some far-off somebody up here.

He's in here with me. And Jesus is not just some

austere, King sitting on a throne somewhere.

He walks with me and he talks with me and he's my great

Shepherd, and he leaves me, he provides for me.

He never leaves me, he never forsakes me, he's always with

me. And I hear his voice.

And when he speaks, it's the word hallelujah.

And so, you know, I just decided I'd make Jesus my high priest.

Amen. And so therefore, Hebrews 3 says

that I'm too. He's now the Apostle and high

priest of my faith confession. And then in Hebrews 4 says, I'm

to hold fast My Confession. You know, that means you need to

make sure that you're always saying about you.

What the Lord says about you I'm going to make sure that my

confession to me, agrees with what Jesus is, confession of me.

Is, are you hearing me? Because that's how he's going to

get me through this world. And right now, there are two

forces in operation the devil. Still owns it on this Earth.

He still out here trying to stop us.

Amen. In fact, there's two ways the

devil's going to try to stop you.

We've already made the reference in second Corinthians 4, 3 and

4, Paul says if our gospel is hid, its hid to them who are

lost in verse 4 says in whom the God of this world of this age

has blinded their minds or put a veil over their minds lest they

should see and hear the Glorious gospel of Christ and be saved.

So the very first thing, the devil's going to do is first

weapon of the first strategies going to try to use against you.

He's going to try to keep you away from God's word and keep

you from being able to hear what Jesus has done and keep you

under his dominion and keep you blinded the things of God.

So I was trying to keep out of church.

Keeping away from Christians. Keep you from from, you know,

people like us. Hallelujah, right here.

You know, God and so a lot of people they just go through life

and they allow the enemy to never let them to see all that

the king that did for them and they have a king said you don't

a throne of God and they don't need to go to him.

So they die in their sins. Then the other one is Pastor

Mark got into it over there in Mark's gospel when we read over

there in the what the the fourth chapter.

When he's talking about the parable of the sower verse 15,

he said what he said. These are they the soda by the

wayside and the in that the right verse and he said, what

Satan comes immediately to steal the word out of their heart.

Comes immediately still the word out of the heart.

So here's the thing, the devil understands this If he can keep

you from hearing the word, he can keep you lost.

He can keep you in bondage. He can keep you in sin.

If he can keep you from receiving this word, as a

personal word from God coming to you, he can control you during

this present, Wicked evil age. And then is so his the the first

plan is to keep you in sin. Now, if he can't keep you in sin

and you do hear the word of Salvation and you do get saved,

his second Ploy is to keep you away from churches like this.

So you can hear what the Lord did for you, and what he has for

you and your inheritance in Christ.

And then if you do come to a church where the word is being

preached, when you go and you say I was at anchor Faith Church

and it was so great and you called your friend that's oh my

God, that's a cold. Don't go over there.

And the Devil comes immediately to steal their great truth.

That you just got out of you one.

Because if he can't keep you from getting saved his second

poised to keep you as defeated and bound up and broke, as he

can to make you a bad witness of what a Christian is.

He wants you as a Christian complaining.

Fussing sick defeated beat down. Broken, never accomplishing

anything. No prayers answered drudging

through life. Just wait until God comes, I'll

just can't wait to go to heaven. Hallelujah.

Come on. Because the devil reads the

Bible just like you do somebody said how, you know, that was in

the wilderness whenever he tempted.

Jesus, he quoted The 91st Psalm time.

He can quote, scripture scriptures to you, amen.

They're all out of context but he can quote him.

But if you don't know what the word says, then you can't fight

him because we defeat the Devil with what the spoken word of

God. Just like Jesus.

Did you got to tell them what the word says how they lujah?

And so we find that we're in the situation where the devil is

trying to hold us because see in Hosea 4:6, he's read what the

Hosea 4:6

prophet said over there. He quoted God to the people.

He said, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

The word destroyed in the Hebrew means cut off from.

My people are cut off from the blessings that they have as

Covenant children of God because they don't know.

Because what you don't know can hurt you.

Amen. But then the second thing he

says in that verse is just is almost worse than the verse.

He says, my people are destroyed a cutoff for lack of knowledge

then he says, and because you have rejected knowledge, I will

reject you from being priests. What's that mean means you come

here and you hear this word and you hear that your citizens of

the kingdom of God and that even though we're living in a present

evil age, you have the power and authority through Christ reach

over into that next age. Word that's full healing full

health, full power for blessing and and and bring it over into

the age were living in and lives.

Supernaturally, right now in this age that you don't have to

wait till you get a glorified body to walk in your

righteousness and walk in peace and be Overcomers and be well,

you know, World beaters, Hallelujah.

You can do things now, and the enemy will come in and try to

steal that out, but if you reject that Yoda priest.

As he said, if you reject the word, I'll reject you from being

priest. A priest is one who ministers of

the Holy things of God. So, if I reject healing then, I

cannot Minister healing in my life or anybody else's.

If I reject the message of prosperity and overcoming and

and walking in the abundance of God, then I'll be poor, I'll not

be able to minister in wealth and do the things as a steward

God. Schmidt operating so therefore

the devil is going to do what he's going to come in and try to

steal the truths that God has given us because he understands

this, if you taste of the good word, And you put that word in

your heart and it becomes a spoken word to you.

It will uphold you right now even in this present, evil age

and calls the powers of the age to come to work in your life

right now. Your prayers are get answered

now. Your faith will move mountains.

Now your confession will bring things to pass now.

When the enemy comes in like a flood, you'll rise up because

you have the Holy Spirit lifting up a standard against him right

now. And instead of you running, he's

fleeing And you get a hold of the powers of the age to come

and the Covenant that you have, because you see, it's one

Kingdom folks, and Jesus is Lord over both phases of the Kingdom.

Hallelujah, he just as much Lord and over every name and

everything. Now, as he will be then, and

what he's trying to get ahold to us as this.

He says, I know you're limited by your physical body and I know

in this room, you're living your limited little bit by not being

able to see it all. But one thing you're not limited

in, is this hearing my words, Putting it in your heart,

putting it in your mouth and reaching over into the promises

that I've given you and bringing them from there over to here and

receiving your miracle today. Receiving your breakthrough

today and walking as more than a conqueror right now in this time

and glorifying your lord and living as Kings and Priests

unto, our God under the Lord King himself.

Amen. Come on church.

That's what it's all about. And that's why we're here.

That's what we're learning these things.

Praise God. And you've got to understand.

Let me give you one more scripture here and I'll just

tied up with this third John. Third, John.

There's only one chapter. So versus two, three, and four.

This is what John says, beloved. In other words, he's talking to

the Christians, he's talking to Believers because Ephesians 1

says, we've been accepted in the Beloved.

So beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in

health just as her even as your soul prospers.

Yo John is saying he's saying the key to you living in Victory

in this present evil age is to change the way you think change

your attitudes to line up with What God Says.

Because your natural success is dependent upon your spiritual

success. Because it's even as your soul

prospers, I will never Prosper. Walk in Victory, above my

revelation of who I am in Christ and who Jesus is to me.

That's why the devil's after the word so hard, because he

understands that, if you renew your mind to think, like God

wants you to think it will cause you to believe different.

It will cause you to talk different it'll cause you live

different and act different. And all of a sudden, you'll stop

living as some defeated somebody.

And you'll throw those shoulders back and walk in the humility of

being a king, under the lordship of your King, as a

representative and an ambassador of Your king and you'll know the

his word in your mouth will work for you just like it did in his

mouth. Amen.

And Romans 12:3 what does Paul said over there to the Romans?

Romans 12:3

He says be not conformed to this world.

Don't let the world conform you don't let the world determine

who you are but be a transformed how by the renewing of your

mind. What I need to get my mind

renewed Paul so that you may prove what is the good?

Acceptable and perfect, will of God.

What's that mean when the Devil Comes lying to you, but you've

got your mind, renewed to the word of God.

You said, no, no, no, no, that's your kingdom.

I'm in this Kingdom. And let me tell you what the

kingdom word says? Are you hear me just like Jesus?

When the devil tried to tempt him?

Jesus proved God's Will by speaking the word to him.

And when you are filled with the word and change the way you

think, and your word is filled with the word, your mind is

filled with the word of God, then you are not at the mercy of

the lies of the attempter. Because now, you know, what God

says, and when he comes, he says, you can be healed.

Wait, am I can prove to you? I can be healed, Isaiah 53:4,

Isaiah 53:4

and 5 says in Matthew, he 17 says in First Peter 2:24 says,

1 Peter 2:24

and so 1033 says, and some 1057 says, and you just start quoting

scriptures time because I'm a man.

Well, you're not going to get your knees, my boy.

I'm not conforming to that. Didn't you read synchronize, 89

that I know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though he

was rich, he became Portsmouth in his Paris.

I could be made. Rich, did you never read mr.

Devil, listen for 19, but my God, shall supply.

All my need quarters riches and Glory anymore.

You want me to keep going, that's enough of those See, you

have to be able to prove yourself what God's will is.

And so my natural success is dependent upon my spiritual

success of knowing who I am in the kingdom of God and knowing

what my king is speaking to me, because it's his word spoken to

me, that is going to uphold me in everything, that I I'm

facing, amen. And it will transform your life

and the very thing that the devil was upset about, you'll

become a powerful Witness. For the King of Kings, and the

Lord of lords. Amen, let's pray.
