Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.
-
Now enjoyed this message. You have your Bibles turn to
-
Matthew chapter 26. I want to talk to you about a
Matthew 26 chapter mention
-
king sword today, amen. Matthew He 6, verse 47.
-
Matthew chapter 26, verse 47. It says this, it says a while he
-
was still speaking behold. Judas.
-
One of the twelve came up accompanied by a large crowd
-
with swords and clubs who came from the chief priests and the
-
Elders of the people. Now he who was betraying him
-
gave them a sign saying, whomever I kiss, he is the one
-
seizing. Immediately Judas went up to
-
Jesus saying Hell Rabbi and kissed him.
-
One translation says kissed him fervently.
-
And Jesus said to him friend do what you have come to do, then
-
they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized him behold.
-
One of those who were with Jesus reached and Drew out his sword
-
and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
-
Then Jesus said, put your sword back into its place for all
-
those who take up the sword Shall Perish by the sword or do
-
you think that I cannot appeal to my father and he will at once
-
put at my disposal more than Twelve Legions of angels, how
-
then will the scripture be fulfilled?
-
Which says that, it must happen this way.
-
At that time, Jesus said to the crowd, have you come out with
-
swords and clubs to arrest me? As you would against a robber
-
every day? I used to sit.
-
Sit in the temple teaching. And you did not seize me, but,
-
but all this has taken place to fulfill the scripture that of
-
the prophets, then all the disciples left him and fled.
-
Now, the question you may ask is why in the world, do they have
-
swords in the first place? Well, in the Luca gospel
-
account, prior to this meeting, they actually come up to Jesus.
-
And Jesus is talking to them. And he actually tells Home to
-
defend themselves. And it's actually found in Luke
-
chapter 22, verse 38. They said, Lord, look, here we
-
have two swords and he says that is enough.
-
Now the Lord never intended for them to have source to defend
-
him. But he knew what was coming.
-
And he knew that the scripture says they will strike because he
-
told him at the time that they took the Lord's Supper.
-
The Passover meal. He said, the scripture has said,
-
they will strike the shepherd and the Sheep will scatter.
-
He knew he would be betrayed and he knew a crowd was coming.
-
Are you hearing me? And so he wanted his disciples
-
in the event, they tried to grab them in the process. because it
-
wasn't about them that they themselves could defend
-
themselves but Peter Had a lapse in in the garden.
-
I said Peter had a lapse. It's not like Peters.
-
Not been here before. This state of mind, this type of
-
opinion of how he wants to do something.
-
In fact, if we go over to Matthew 16:21 just so you
-
understand Peters thinking here. The disciple that pulls out the
-
sword, he says, it's from that time.
-
Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to
-
Jerusalem and suffer, many things from the elders and chief
-
priests and scribes and be killed.
-
And be raised up on the third day.
-
Sure. Wish Peter would have listened
-
to that one. But Peter took him aside and
-
began to what? He rebuked him saying God
-
forbid. It Lord, this shall never happen
-
to you. So what's Peter stance?
-
I'm not going to let it happen. I'm not going to let it happen.
-
I'm not going to let it happen. I'm not going to let it happen.
-
And so when Jesus is saying they're going to strike the
-
shepherd and the Sheep are going to be scattered, he says Peters,
-
like, nah, I'm not going to deny you.
-
I'm not going to scatter, I'm going to be right there.
-
Member of Jesus says Peter before the rooster crows you
-
going to deny me three times, son.
-
He said, hey go ahead. But many gonna happen.
-
No everybody else. In this room might get offended.
-
Everybody else in this room might desert you, but not me.
-
Not me Jesus. I'm ready for this deal.
-
I got my sword. I'm ready to defend you.
-
I'm ready to fight these people off.
-
You're not gonna die. But what did Jesus think about
-
that thinking? He says, but he turned and said
-
to Peter, get behind me, Satan you are stumbling block to me
-
for, come on. Are you hearing this for you?
-
Set your mind. You're not setting your mind on
-
God's interest, but, man, Jesus says, in this Matthew account,
-
if you live by the sword, you die by the sword.
-
Now, there's a natural side to this.
-
When we look at the old, Covenant, says, that, if A man
-
takes it into his own hands to kill somebody.
-
Then guess what? They going to come after him
-
that blood is going to keep talking until it's Avenged.
-
Are you hearing me? So when a person lives by the
-
sword or a violent person, violence is going to take them
-
but the sword is not just a natural sword.
-
And we're going to see this today because a lot of us are
-
pulling out our swords and we're trying to hinder God's plan.
-
For our lives. We're trying to fulfill the plan
-
of God in our power. Jesus Will clearly communicate
-
To Us by his Spirit, how we are to handle adversity, conflict
-
situations. Yet many of us when we get, when
-
that conflict shows up in fact, he'll even a lot of times for
-
warned us. In fact, he has done this
-
naturally because he's literally said in this life, you'll have
-
Trials and tribulations correct in this life.
-
So we all know a crowd of Something's coming something
-
with swords and clubs. Something to try to arrest us,
-
defeat us, conquer us. Overcome us is coming our way.
-
Don't know when it's going to happen, potentially, but we know
-
what's coming and when it does come, most of the time, God will
-
have already trained. You through the preaching of the
-
word of how to handle that situation.
-
But we want to pull out our sword.
-
And cut some things off. In essence, if you live by the
-
flesh. You'll die by the flesh, you'll
-
reap of the flesh corruption because God's ways.
-
A lot of times when we get in Conflict, we don't sometimes
-
realize how the attacks coming. So when it comes, it's a
-
surprise. What I mean by that is we didn't
-
imagine that would take place and sometimes that can throw us
-
for a loop. It can put us in a position
-
where we want to go to defense mode.
-
Well, we want to defend ourselves.
-
Okay. All right.
-
Hallelujah. We're want to justify our
-
positions instead of literally saying, okay.
-
Lord will I do in this situation?
-
What have you already told me? I said what are you already told
-
me? Because I don't want to pull out
-
my sword. I don't want to work it in my
-
strength. I don't want to do it on my
-
merits. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
-
I want to do it according to how you said to do it because we
-
know the scripture says that God Will defend us.
-
He will vindicate us and to his plan shall come to pass that if
-
we don't watch out, we'll pull out our sword and try to hinder
-
God's actual plan for our lives. Now, how do you know whether
-
you're wielding? Your sword are the Kings?
-
Well, let's look at Hebrews Shepherd for in Hebrews 4:12.
-
Look at this, you all know it. But it says for the word of God
-
is living And active. I can't wait till this thing
-
gets out on YouTube. They like this guy's preaching
-
with a sword. I remember doing a message down
-
at the East Coast Camp and I talked about God's word is a
-
sword. And, and so I pulled that thing
-
out there was a bunch of teenagers and I was moving that
-
it was a big sword. I didn't use my little dagger
-
type sword. You understand, because again,
-
when we read this passage, these guys didn't have these long huge
-
swords, man, that they were carrying around.
-
You understand is more applicable that they probably
-
would have something a bit smaller.
-
Are you hearing me that they would have tried to defend
-
themselves with in that moment? When they found were found
-
their, you know, but we always want the big, you know,
-
Excalibur. Right?
-
We want Goliath's sword, right? But Jesus and the apostles did
-
not have Goliath's sword on them, okay, but with that being
-
said, I was moving it around and somebody had sent it to somebody
-
and they're like are the kids safe leather?
-
Yeah, it does amazing, how people think, okay, for the word
-
of God is living and active sharper than any two-edged.
-
What is it? So this thing is sharper than a
-
sword and piercing but it has the same effect and piercing as
-
far as the division of Soul and Spirit both of joints and Marrow
-
and able to, what judge the thoughts, and intentions of the
-
heart did. King Jesus have a sword.
-
I would submit to you when he was in the garden, he had a
-
sword. in fact, he even used that sword Before Peter used his
-
sword because if we read the gospel account, Of where and I
-
don't remember which one it was specifically, but the Holy Ghost
-
is reminding said, remember, one of the gospels said that when
-
they asked who was Jesus, he said, I am.
-
And when he said, I am the ones that were in the front worth
-
blown to the ground. By the words that came out of
-
it, they were struck down now not killed, but not down because
-
of the power and the anointing that was on Jesus's life for him
-
to fulfill this very moment this moment that he went to the
-
father and was in prayer all the time in the garden saying Lord,
-
if there's any other way for this thing to pass, let it pass
-
but not my will your will be done and the Lord anointed him
-
for that task. It was his defining Moment it
-
was his opportunity so that we could all come into the kingdom
-
and become Kings of the king. and when he spoke, they fell and
-
then Peter Think about that they hit the ground and then Peters
-
going to pull out when someone touches Jesus, I mean are we not
-
in the same Garden right now? Jesus talks people fall, and in
-
somebody going to touch him and you're gonna try to cut an ear
-
off. Now, I happen to think that
-
Peter probably was pretty good with a blade.
-
Some people say, you know, this how bad he was, he only hit his
-
here. Honestly, he was a fisherman, I
-
bet he could fillet some fish. So I bet that he probably was a
-
little more skillful than we want to say now.
-
He didn't want to kill nobody but he sure did want to defend
-
say you better get your hands off me.
-
To get worse than this but Jesus is like you're not here.
-
To do this. This action is trying to hinder
-
the plan of God. and anytime we take up our own cause The midst
-
of the battle thinking we're defending, Jesus.
-
But in essence were only defending our own lives.
-
Then we're actually thwarting or trying to hinder the plan of God
-
for our lives. Specifically, Look what Jesus
-
said in Matthew 10:34. I would submit to you.
-
He has a sword. It says do you think this is
-
Jesus? Now, if you have a red letter
-
bible, you have this Jesus said this, he said, do you think that
-
I came to bring peace on the Earth?
-
This is in your Bible, I'm sure this is kind of shocking to
-
some, right? Because again we're fixing to
-
celebrate, you know, Christmas here pretty soon.
-
And we know the angels singing peace on Earth Goodwill towards
-
men. Well it is peace on Earth for
-
those who are in the Kingdom. I mean, you have peace because
-
you have peace in your heart. You've been giving the spirit of
-
truth and the fruits of the spirit.
-
Peace can rent met resonate in your life when you are doing
-
God's word and his will, you're going to walk in perfect peace
-
even in the midst of a storm. But Jesus said, don't think I
-
came to bring peace. On the earth, I did not come to
-
bring peace, but but but but a sword, this is important because
-
this is why it's so important for us to rightly divide the
-
word of truth because we can get off and just stay on certain
-
aspects that God did only and not.
-
Look at the totality of what he's done because we know then
-
that Jesus obviously wants to bring peace in one sense.
-
He is the prince of peace and that government there will be no
-
end to the increase of his government or a piece Isaiah
-
says, but you understand, he's establishing something.
-
But at this point he's like, piece in its totality is not
-
here. But the sword is now pieces for
-
those who come into my kingdom, but those who aren't the sword.
-
I said the sword. I said the sword.
-
So Jesus came and brought a sword.
-
We see here in second Thessalonians, Sky powerful.
-
This sword is because I want you to understand, we need to take
-
up the Kings sword. This is a powerful sword by
-
which Jesus Christ has he says this then.
-
That Lawless one. I'm talking to Second
-
Thessalonians. Chapter 2, verse 8 to 10, then
-
that Lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will
-
slay. With the breath of his mouth and
-
bring to an end by the appearance of his coming.
-
That is the one whose coming is in accord, with the activity of
-
Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders.
-
And with all the deception of wickedness, for those who perish
-
because they did not receive the love of the truth, as so, as to
-
be saved. So notice, Jesus, when he
-
returns. At the end of the tribulation.
-
That he's going to talk. Words are going to go out of his
-
mouth. And slay.
-
Well, y'all doing all right man. I feel like we're just not
-
getting this yet. I mean it's amazing how much
-
faith we put in our natural strength.
-
And we don't really realize what real power we can wield.
-
I have come to the place in my life that I abandoned my natural
-
way of doing things done. I refuse to pick that sort up.
-
And try to do it on my own and try to figure this thing out.
-
I refuse to do it because I possess a more powerful sword.
-
Her hearing me one, that is true.
-
Sure. And can judge one that has
-
Justice and judgment. Are you hearing me Jesus?
-
When Peter pulls out his sword, he says, son.
-
Did I not tell you already? that this action is not of God,
-
but of the devil, and I'm not going to stand for that, and if
-
you keep responding, In your flesh to situations, even about
-
God. You're not going to make it.
-
You're not going to make it, you're gonna have to take up my
-
sword. Because my sword is the only
-
true sword. Because this sword, I mean,
-
again right now in the planet. there's an enemy but yet the
-
Lord When he returns with his mouth.
-
You want to know the account. Let's go over to Revelations.
-
Let's just go ahead and read it. How about this?
-
Look at this Revelation. Let's just get this account.
-
Look, what's going on with Jesus and his sword?
-
All my gosh. Revelation 19:11 says this and I
-
saw heaven opened and behold a white horse.
-
And he who sat on it is called faithful that we just saying
-
that and true and his righteousness and in
-
righteousness, he judges and wages.
-
War, his eyes are a flame of fire and his on.
-
And on his head are many diadem's and he has a name
-
written on him which no one knows except himself.
-
He is clothed with a robe dipped in Blood and his name is called
-
called the word of God and the armies which are in.
-
Come on Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean were
-
following him on white horses. Now, who are those people?
-
Those are the Saints. I said, those are the Saints.
-
That's the redeemed. That's the redeem.
-
That's the redeem. That's the redeem.
-
That's the redeem. That's the redeem.
-
Are you hearing me? And it says, from his mouth.
-
Comes a sharp sword. So that with it he may strike
-
down the nation's and he will rule them with an iron with a
-
rod of iron and he Treads the winepress of the fierce wrath of
-
God, the almighty. When Jesus comes back again, he
-
will not be a lamb, he will not be a suffering servant, he will
-
be the reigning King and he will reign in power and rain.
-
And Righteousness and reign in majesty and reign in glory and
-
he will take back the planet. This is global domination.
-
There's not a nation that exists on the planet that can stand
-
before the King. Come on, there's not a niche, I
-
don't care. What nations are rising in power
-
today. I don't care how much armor they
-
have. How many nuclear weapons, they
-
have machine guns bullets, I don't care.
-
How many satellites they have. I don't care how
-
technologically. Ants.
-
They are when my king shows up on a horse.
-
What it shows up on a horse and he rides Out of Heaven back to
-
the planet and they will come and wage war against him.
-
He will say something. And from his mouth comes a sharp
-
sword. So that he'll strike down the
-
nation's and look what it says in verse 16 and on his robe.
-
And on his thigh, he has a name written king of kings and Lord
-
of lords, who are those kings? Who are those Lords?
-
Well, Glory, that God, man. We're those kings.
-
Where are those lures? Then it says this, then I saw an
-
angel. Standing in the Sun and he cried
-
out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in
-
midheaven come assemble for the great supper of God.
-
So that you may eat the Flesh of Kings and the Flesh of
-
commanders and the Flesh of Mighty Men and the Flesh of
-
horses and of those who sit on them and the Flesh of all men,
-
both freemen and slaves, small and great, and I saw the Beast
-
These are nations. Okay, these are kingdoms and I
-
saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies
-
assembled to make war against him.
-
They actually think that they're going to bring all their weapon
-
tree. You understand?
-
They going to look a lot that's going to be just like, when
-
David and Goliath took place, they gonna be assembled and are
-
going almost be thinking, man. Are we had do, is it a my adult?
-
They going to some guy is coming on a horse.
-
A horse. We gonna smoke this man right
-
here. Are you hearing me?
-
I'm Eagle, I've had it all. He had the big shield with an
-
armor Bearer. Who would stand in front to be
-
at a take the blows. As he had a huge sword.
-
He had a staff. I mean, this guy had been
-
trained. He had everything about him.
-
Says, nobody can defeat me. I have all the latest weapon.
-
You're all gonna die and that's why nobody move in the
-
Israelites. But but but there was a king.
-
There was a king that showed up on the field.
-
And the King had a sword. You don't even see.
-
We at like David didn't have a sword but David did have a
-
sword. David brought him some rocks for
-
his sling because that was a natural weapon.
-
But he had a sword. He says, you come to me with a
-
sword, but I come to you in the name of the Lord, I come to you
-
with the name of the Lord. And a sword without left his
-
mouth and it calls the defenses of Goliath to be nothing.
-
So that when he ran towards him with a little rock, it
-
penetrated, his hand dropped him down, and he took the same
-
weapon that he wanted to kill David and cut his head off, and
-
he was the Victor. He was the Conqueror.
-
Because David had a sword. They they didn't know about it
-
was the sword of the word of the Lord.
-
That sword went out and he declared, I'm going to kill you.
-
And everybody behind you going to die, too.
-
And the sword of the Lord went forth.
-
I said the sword of the Lord went forth in judgment and
-
because that went forth and judgment.
-
It gave the power to the Covenant children of Israel that
-
after David's killed the giant. The rest were empowered and they
-
ran down. And in there with their natural
-
source, it calls the defendant be the defenselessness of the
-
Philistines and they routed them that day because of Sword had
-
already been sent And the Beast was seized it says, and with
-
him, the false prophet who performed the signs in his
-
presence, by which he deceived those who receive the mark of
-
the beast and those who worshiped the image, these two
-
were thrown alive into the Lake of Fire, which burns with
-
Brimstone. Look at verse 21 and the rest I
-
said in the rest were killed with the sword, which came Came
-
from the mouth of him. Who sat on the horse?
-
He didn't he had to get off the horse.
-
I mean, he rise up and he says something Come on.
-
You understand? You just need to get this.
-
You might as well go ahead and majan now because we're coming
-
were coming with him. I said, we're coming with him,
-
we're coming with him, we're coming with him.
-
Here we go. We're coming and two keys gonna
-
be in front, to keep on being back.
-
We won't be in front of the king.
-
The king will be leading us. And then he's gonna say, here's
-
all my, here's my nation, here's my right, just one.
-
Here's the one who has our rightful heirs to this planet.
-
We're taking it back. We're taking it all back.
-
Hallelujah. And all we got to do is Rod.
-
I might have to take horse lessons horse-riding, lessons.
-
Be honest with you. I might need to learn how to
-
ride a horse. I don't know if it it just super
-
naturally happened in my glorified body, because I've
-
ridden a horse twice, and it was not good.
-
I was about five years old, was on a horse with neighbors
-
daughter. And we were, I mean, this horse
-
had to be at least this tall seem like that at five and so we
-
were riding through the little pasture and they were you know
-
hole. Holding the reins of the horse
-
and all of a sudden. The saddle started to slip and
-
it slid off, we hit the ground and I lost my breath.
-
She started crying, I couldn't do anything, but and when breath
-
finally came, I went to cry on. But then I became a teenager, I
-
got empowered, you know, teenagers, they can do anything.
-
So I had a friend of mine that had this donkey really I mean,
-
it probably one of the donkey, but it was some wild something.
-
So anyway, so we went over to his house or where they were
-
keeping this horse and bareback, obviously, the saddle can't come
-
off if your bareback, right? No rain just hold onto the hair,
-
the main, you know. So we're going seems to be doing
-
fine. I was, you know, getting my
-
confidence, you know, kind of trotting along little bit, you
-
know. And as I was getting Back to
-
where I was going to get off. I don't know what happened.
-
I have no idea, but they decided to horse decided to Buck.
-
Well, it'd have been nice to have a salad, right?
-
Been nice to have one then because I have something to hold
-
onto. I could have hooked up in there,
-
right? I didn't have nothing.
-
He kicked me off and fell into cactus plant.
-
Yeah. So listen on that day.
-
When we come, if I fall off the horse, don't you laugh at me?
-
I'm working this thing. Just turn around.
-
Put me back on my horse and Let me come and be with Jesus, okay?
-
It's going to be all right, but he's coming.
-
I said he's coming and he has a sword.
-
I don't want to pull out the sword of Flesh.
-
I want to work this thing in My Own Strength, my own power, my
-
own way of doing, I don't want to try to manipulate God's word
-
to try to fix my situation. I just want to hear from the
-
King because the king Will's a sword.
-
And if I'll pick up that sword and to do something amazing in
-
my life, right? That's why I take it, Ephesians
Ephesians 6 chapter mention
-
chapter 6, and Ephesians chapter 6.
Ephesians 6 chapter mention
-
This is told about the Kings sword, the Kings sword, the
-
Kings sword. He's the king of the king of the
-
king of who are those kings, who are those kings?
-
We are says finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of
-
his might put on the full armor of God.
-
So that you May be able to stand firm against the schemes of the
-
devil member. This is the one with his mouth.
-
Are you hearing me with his mouth?
-
The one the Antichrist is do it. Everybody's so scared of the
-
Antichrist. It's amazing.
-
How many churches are all jacked up about the Antichrist?
-
Big deal. Listen, this is not the
-
dispensation of the devil. This is the dispensation of the
-
Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost has been poured
-
out. I mean, if you're afraid of the
-
devil's because you listen to the devil more than you are the
-
Holy Ghost. I mean, the Holy Ghost is has no
-
intimidation when it comes to the devil.
-
When he showed up for Jesus, I said when he showed up for
-
Jesus, Jesus was without spot or wrinkle.
-
He was blameless, never sinned, naturally.
-
Meaning he was the son of God in flesh and all the way up to the
-
Jordan River. He was a righteous man.
-
Rightly dividing the word of Truth discovering himself in
-
scripture, but then he got baptized.
-
And when he got baptized and came up out of the water, the
-
heavens opened and his father anointed him as king of the
-
earth and said, this is my son. This is the anointed one.
-
I said was coming by the prophet, Isaiah.
-
This is the king and the Holy Spirit came.
-
Mmmmm and fell upon him like a dove is he's not a dove but it
-
was like, whatever. However they fly and before they
-
land that's about what it looked like when the Holy Ghost came
-
down and it said Jesus received the Holy Ghost without measure
-
and the very next verse the Holy Ghost, now that's Upon Jesus and
-
he's endued with power for Jesus himself, declared in Luke
Luke 4 chapter mention
-
chapter 4. He said, the spirit of the Lord
-
is upon me for he has anointed me.
-
Whoo, he's anointed me, he's anointed me what to go conquer.
-
The captives. I'm gonna get them the blond.
-
They gonna see, I'm on. I'm the deliverer, and the
-
minute that Holy Spirit, he comes upon.
-
He says, Jesus, let's go find the devil.
-
Let's let him know you're in the planet.
-
And it says he was led by the spirit Into the Wilderness to be
-
tempted of the Devil. He's not intimidated.
-
I said he's not intimidated. One bit.
-
And are you a holy ghost filled believer?
-
I said, are you a holy ghost filled believer?
-
Then the schemes of the devil mean nothing to you.
-
In fact, you're not ignorant of the devil's devices.
-
The Bible says and you can stand against the schemes of the devil
-
and no weapon formed against the church is going to prosper.
-
I don't care what he throws at you.
-
Amen. If you'll just wield, the sword
-
of the king he says for our struggle is not against flesh
-
and blood But against rulers against Powers against World,
-
Force's of this Darkness against the spiritual forces of
-
wickedness in Heavenly places. Now again you need to understand
-
there's a term that runs around in the church spiritual warfare.
-
Okay. Most of its off, most of us all,
-
why cause most of us off because most of them are fighting to try
-
to get a victory. That's the problem.
-
You're trying to get a victory and that means you're already in
-
defeat. Jesus has already gotten the
-
victory, so when I deal with principalities and Powers, I'm
-
reminding them, you're defeated. You don't have no power
-
actually, and the power you think you have, I can actually
-
bind it up. All I got to do is get
-
authorization. I said, all I gotta do is get
-
authorization. all I have to do is get authorization, because if
-
I'll get authorization from the king of what to bond, How to
-
speak, how to stand. Then it won't matter.
-
Once mounted, now that doesn't mean you won't feel stuff that
-
mean it won't be pressure. It won't feel like you're at War
-
but you're not at War. What you are, is you're fighting
-
the good fight of Faith. You're saying No this word is
-
going to work know this word is going to work, know, this was
-
going to come to pass know. This word is going to happen.
-
And that's what you keep saying. You keep standing on.
-
So he says, therefore take up the full armor of God so that
-
you will be able to what. So the full armor is necessary
-
to resist, Amen. Hallelujah.
-
Now I was in the Army. All of our veterans.
-
Would you stand, please? Let's honor our veterans.
-
I was in the Army myself. Let's give it up for our
-
veteran. Friday, was Veterans Day.
-
We appreciate you. Thank you for your service.
-
All that. You've done.
-
Thank you. I know that we are a
-
constitutional republic. We are not a democracy.
-
The only Democratic aspect of our nation is we vote our
-
leaders in. But there's a narrative right
-
now that just says where democracy and it's infiltrating
-
the minds of people and it's saying we have a government.
-
We don't have And as long as they believe that and they
-
continue to believe that then they'll throw out the
-
Constitution which means then we'll lose the actual
-
government. We actually have Okay, fine.
-
Amen, with that being said there is a second amendment and the
-
second amendment gives you the right to bear arms.
-
Some of them, I wish they wouldn't.
-
Now, why is that? Because they're foolish, you
-
understand this. When I was in the Army, the Army
-
did not give me my weapon first. Then I'll give me my weapon
-
first. The Marines, did they give you
-
your weapon First Navy? Navy.
-
Where's my Navy? I Chris.
-
Did they give you your weapon first?
-
Okay, Air Force. I got a Air Force person.
-
Yes. Oh, you're an Air Force to?
-
Yeah, but you were in base. You didn't do basic there.
-
You had to do it again. Okay.
-
Did they give you a weapon first?
-
No Coast Guard. Do I have a coast guard here?
-
No. Well, I know cause my grandson's
-
in the Coast Guard, they did not give him his weapon first now
-
because my grandson has just what they do.
-
What do I mean by that? See we have a second man.
-
People go by the gun. they go get a weapon, they carrying
-
knives guns, all this and that like, I remember I was talking
-
to Pastor, there are Morgan who has done multiple competitions,
-
shooting competitions, where you go into scenarios and you have
-
to pull your weapon out, you know, and hit targets and stuff.
-
He can draw. And and want one just right at
-
just over a second or just under a second.
-
He can get his gun out and fire it.
-
Really quick now, you understand most people think they're that
-
but they're really Barney Fife. The really Barney Fife.
-
Right. Okay, they're really Barney Fife
-
but we want to act like we're Halo.
-
We're Call of Duty. Right.
-
Yeah, now I'm tracking we're Call of Duty, right?
-
You got your little glasses on. You're in a virtual world and
-
you're killing electronic stuff. Right, that you get to start
-
over. So, you know, when I was in they
-
didn't give me my weapon first, they gave me a uniform.
-
And then they gave me gear that I would have to wear when I had
-
my weapon. Because the weapon and wasn't
-
enough, I said it wasn't enough. Now you can have a weapon that
-
can fend off an enemy, but you become liable to an enemy.
-
If you don't have the rest of your uniform on, am I saying the
-
truth guys? Right.
-
So there's a helmet. I mean, they have vest.
-
Now, I mean, either police officers.
-
They don't go out without other armor on.
-
Right yet as natural citizens and there's not wrong with you
-
having a weapon. I have no problem with that, but
-
don't act like you're prepared. If you've never shot your
-
weapon, you're going to be surprised at how bad you are,
-
because Call of Duty is not making you a better shot.
-
That trigger and the trigger on whatever you're firing or 22,
-
and all triggers are different. This is what's crazy.
-
You could get one weapon down, great.
-
And then pick up another one and you can't hit the broad side of
-
a barn. But Pastor Daryl Morgan said, he
-
said, when I go to these competitions, the worst Shooters
-
are always the police officers. Because they don't allow them to
-
train enough. They're the worst shooters.
-
That's why these people that run away, they can run away, they
-
can't get them. I mean, that's why they're
-
unloading magazines that are like, they did a, well, I mean,
-
it takes 15 to get one or more, right?
-
Because, again, they're not accurate, they're not trained.
-
A lot of them. and if you just have one on your counter and
-
someone walks in your house and you think you're going to defend
-
yourself It's highly probable, they'll take it from you and use
-
it against you. All right, I'm preaching better
-
you're saying but that's fine. The same thing happens in you
-
wielding. The king sword.
-
We've got to put on the full armor of God so that we are able
-
to resist in the evil day and having done everything to stand
-
firm, stand there for meaning. You just stand your not
-
retreating and if the situation is still there, you still are
-
the Victor. You're the one occupied.
-
Are you hear me? He says, stand therefore, having
-
girded your loins with. So if you don't have truth, I
-
don't care if you have the rest. In fact, you're gonna have a
-
hard time with the rest. If you don't actually have
-
truth, all the rest are predicated on you having truth,
-
then you've got to put on the breastplate of righteousness.
-
Is it is your light armor jacket?
-
Because the enemy hit one of his greatest weapons, that he sends
-
down range is to try to tell you how unrighteous you are.
-
And how unworthy, and that you're really not a foe and that
-
he's way more powerful because he's been around a lot longer
-
than you and he's just Received a lot more people than you have,
-
then you are who you are, but when you know who you are
-
righteousness, when you know, you to China to key and
-
righteousness is God's way of doing.
-
Well, if you don't have the truth, which is the word of God,
-
then you won't know God's way of doing.
-
So you won't even be protected because you don't even know what
-
God's way is. Then you shit.
-
You shot your feet with the preparation of the gospel of
-
peace. Meaning, I'm not trying to be a
-
bully When we go in as a nation and our in certain territories,
-
we're not picking fights. We're letting them know.
-
You don't want to come pick a fight.
-
We would rather stay at peace and peace is, there's a way
-
you're going to do this according to our policies, but
-
if you violate that, we don't hold the sword for no reason.
-
Now, you'll find out Romans chapter 13, that the righteous
Romans 13 chapter mention
-
government was given the sword by God.
-
So that those who do evil would be afraid of the judgment.
-
So he goes on in verse 16, in addition to all taking up the
-
shield of faith. I'm, I'm just curious to know
-
how many people have checked out because I ended up making so
-
many analogies to the Second Amendment.
-
Yeah. Yeah.
-
Yeah, cause that's exactly what the devil wants to do is D arm
-
you and he's doing a real good job.
-
A lot of churches, the arming them, he's the arming them.
-
He's taking their weapon. Because when the kingdom of
-
darkness can give get you to forfeit your weapon, then you
-
won't be able to defend yourself.
-
Okay. In addition to all taking up the
-
shield of faith. Now our faith is built on the
-
word of God. So the word of God is in the
-
truth. The Lord of God is in
-
righteousness. The word of God is where we
-
stand. So the, we're not being a bully,
-
we are peacemakers. But if you come, you're going to
-
have a fight. I said you're going to have a
-
fight and then we go had to Shield of Faith up because when
-
you start to shoot things down range, it's going to hit God's
-
word. We are going to take every
-
thought, captive, and line it up to the word of God.
-
In addition, taking up the shield.
-
Of Faith with, with which you are able to extinguish all, how
-
many all of the flaming arrows of the evil one, and the evil
-
one can only attack you in your mind.
-
He has no right to your spirit but he will attack you in your
-
soul realm and he will attack you.
-
If you are not armed. Meaning, you don't have your
-
armor on and the shield of faith.
-
Is built by you. Because the more you have
-
Revelation knowledge of the truth of God's word, you'll be
-
able to have that dependent rate, what he's saying.
-
So when it that the enemy Goliath before he even pulled
-
out his natural sword, he was throwing arrows.
-
A my dog. You going to send me a little
-
stick. Well, how did David handle that?
-
He had a shield up? A stick.
-
Yeah, he thinks I'm a stick. I'm with the Covenant.
-
King Ain't No stick. This stick fixing to beat him
-
upside. His head is what the sticks
-
fixing to do. It's a big stick actually, are
-
you hearing me and then verse 17 and take up the helmet of
-
salvation and and, The sword of the spirit.
-
Now salvation is what gives us access to the sword?
-
But many want to get out there with salvation and a sword.
-
And if all you have is salvation and a sword, you're going to be
-
defeated. And how many Believers have you
-
heard been around that stalk, defeat?
-
Talk about how the devil's winning, talk about how bad
-
everything's in the world, talking about how rough
-
everything is. And then they're trying to
-
figure out how they're going to. Well, we're going to go and do
-
this. We're going to take this, and
-
we're going to, and they're trying to work everything out
-
naturally using scripture, and they're getting defeated on
-
every front. Didn't defeat it on every front.
-
Why? Because I'm born again.
-
I have the Holy Ghost, but they have no capacity on how to work
-
the sword and they're vulnerable.
-
I said they're vulnerable. Because the enemy does not want
-
the sword to get to him. He doesn't because he knows what
-
the sort of do. I said, he knows what he knows
-
what's going to do, what it's going to do to him.
-
Ultimately, are you hearing me? And so it goes on and says with
-
all prayer and petition praying at all times.
-
All right? Are the sword of the spirit
-
which is the word of God. With all prayer and petition
-
praying at all times in the spirit.
-
And with this in view, be on alert with all perseverance and
-
petition for all the saints and pray on my behalf that utterance
-
may be given to me in the opening of my mouth.
-
To make gnome with boldness, the mysteries of the Gospel.
-
Now, why does Paul want his mouth to open?
-
And we want to walk around with a Silent Witness.
-
When there's a sword in our mouth.
-
I said when there's a sword in our mouth.
-
And our nation. The church is known as the
-
silent majority. We don't talk a whole lot.
-
We just vote. Well, we don't vote very good.
-
And many don't even vote. And their prayers aren't working
-
because they don't even know how to pray.
-
Because they're not already a conqueror.
-
They don't know who they are. And so, they grab a few
-
scriptures. Try to get something to happen.
-
And then when it doesn't, they say, well, I guess it wasn't the
-
Lord's will, but his word is as well.
-
I said his word is his will And he's not a respecter person, so
-
feel he'll want to hit them all. If he'll deliver one, he'll
-
deliver them all. If he'll restore one Hill,
-
ReStore Mall. What's the difference faith and
-
the ability to use the king sword in your situation, a
-
strike, down the enemy. To strike down the enemy are you
-
hearing me? Jesus has already said I didn't
-
come to bring peace but a sword. So what I'm going to say it's
-
got the power and no this that greatest enemy in the planet
-
today, who has Adams Dominion, who had it, I took it back and
-
now he's just the father of those that are of his nature and
-
they don't have to stay that way anymore.
-
And you can go into the territories of where the enemy
-
is and you Speak and you can declare and you can decree and
-
you can send a sword out. That's like your co-workers will
-
come to work, semen cut. What's wrong with you hurting?
-
Yeah. What you said yesterday?
-
Hurt me. Well, swords cut.
-
Now, I didn't cut you to hurt you.
-
But we want you to know there's power that can be available to
-
you and some things need to get off you and you need to change
-
the way you live and change the whom you're worshipping.
-
We hold a sword. And this sword has the power.
-
This is wives Zakaria said this and 46, he said, It's not by
-
might. Right?
-
When the word of the Lord came to zerubbabel, he said, not by
-
might, nor by power, meaning your efforts, pulling out your
-
sword trying to cut off. To keep God where you want him.
-
To move God's plan like you want it.
-
But it's by my spirit says, the Lord of hosts and in my Arsenal,
-
I only need one weapon, only need one.
-
This is sort of the spirit. It's the sword of the spirit.
-
It is the weapon that causes me to conquer in life.
-
Any circumstance, any situation? I concur Because I say, what
-
does the word say? I hear what's coming down range.
-
But what's the word, I just stand right here.
-
What's the word say? What's the word say?
-
I said what's the word soon? Because you understand as long
-
as the enemy stays all the way into mountain and just shooting
-
the arrows. As long as I don't get out from
-
behind my shield, there's no problem here, right?
-
At the end of the day, my head's protected because I have the
-
helmet of salvation. I'm a Child of God, man, you
-
can't hurt me anymore. I mean, my shield of faith is
-
going to be impenetrable. You won't even get to my
-
righteousness. You're not going to touch my
-
truth. You're not going to hinder my
-
peace, you're not going to mess with my head.
-
Right? The reason why many people are
-
having two heads mess with because they got a shield of
-
Faith down and they're getting Being penetrated his hitting
-
their helmet. You understand enough weapon
-
enough shots come down range in knock your helmet off.
-
I mean Kevlar helmets are only so good for so long.
-
I mean you start taking direct hits constantly.
-
That'd be a problem and some caliber bullets will it'll
-
penetrate Yeah, it will. And you stand there, and just
-
take it in your chest. Keep taking it, keep taking it.
-
Then eventually, you'll question your own righteousness, and you
-
keep taking it in the loins. You're going to eventually bend
-
over And be hurting and then be questioning truth and he'll
-
knock your feet out from underneath you.
-
And your life will be in chaos. But the shield of faith, And all
-
the. While the reason I'm standing
-
I'm like, I just want him to think he could get closer.
-
Oh, y'all don't hear that. Okay, see your light.
-
All I want him to stay away. I want him to think he's
-
winning. What do I mean by that?
-
He's not hit me, my face, got it going on, he's going down but
-
you understand. He don't see me moving.
-
He sees me. He's like oh I got him down.
-
I got him now. I got him now and he keeps
-
pulling. I got him now.
-
I got him now and he just keeps advancing.
-
I got him now. This is what your tax look like.
-
I got them now. I got Anakin don't.
-
You know just before Victory. It seems like he gets more
-
pressure is harder and he just keeps shooting.
-
He gets closer, he gets closer and he gets close and he gets
-
right up to your Shield of Faith thinking.
-
You're just this scared little soldier.
-
Stuck behind your shield quivery and say.
-
Oh God, please do something. But what he don't know is when
-
he gets up to it you step out with a sword cut his head off
-
Sounds waiting on you. You were dumb enough to get
-
close. You should have stayed on the
-
mountain. I said you should have stayed on
-
the mountain, are you hearing me?
-
And then I just take that sword and I'll wipe off my shield.
-
All those flaming missiles that have been extinguished.
-
Just cut them all off. Fresh new, get a new Shield of
-
Faith up for the next battle. Let's go, what's next?
-
Now I'm going to advance, I said now I'm going to advance.
-
I said, now I'm going to advance and this is what the church
-
should be looking. Like we should be a, boom taking
-
territory. Let's go into the next one.
-
Boom, taking territory. Let's go into the next one.
-
Boom, taking territory because when it says, the Gates of Hell
-
cannot Prevail against the church, that means the gates of
-
hell are in a May in a small little town that we are
-
surrounding. Not that we're inside this
-
place, and it's attacking us from the outside.
-
We're on the outside, attacking it.
-
You got to understand the church is on the outside of planet
-
Earth. If we go into communities, it's
-
not because we're on the little inside this little church and
-
look how the whole communities, that that, you know, nowhere
-
outside the city in the realm of the spirit.
-
And they're the ones locked in, and we are putting up our seeds
-
on them and we're bringing our advancement.
-
And when they're firing their archers weapons at us as we get
-
closer to the gates, that eventually will breathe.
-
John and will save people's lives.
-
The church is not a defensive weapon.
-
It isn't a pensive not you're offended but we're on the
-
offense. but the enemy Has told too many churches, that the
-
spirit, don't let the spirit move now.
-
And we don't talk about the Holy Ghost.
-
And so he disarms them. They have nothing to fight with.
-
And he can get his closest to their faith as he wants to and
-
he can kick their shield down because they'll never come back
-
with a sword. But not in this house.
-
I said not in this house. In this house, we have a sword.
-
I said we have a sword. It is the word of God.
-
He does the word of Truth and it prevails and it always prevails
-
and it never fails. How did you get that sword?
-
Because Jesus brought to the Earth. he said, Peter if you
-
live by the sword, you're going to die by the sword.
-
I'm going to do, Dad's will Because it allows me to take my
-
sword. Jesus said he that sore back.
-
Jesus is saying I should have brought my big, big sword, but
-
Jesus saying, when I finish this plan that Dad has and I raised
-
up on the third day then, on the day of Pentecost, On the day of
-
Pentecost. I'm going to hand you, my sword.
-
I'm gonna hand you my sword because it's to your advantage
-
that I go. So I can give you my sword.
-
And then you can wield that sword, you can concur with that
-
sword. You will run with that sword.
-
You can fight with that sword. You can take territory because
-
he died and he rose to give us a king sword.
-
What if head bowed every eye closed on was looking around?
-
You here today and you've never made Jesus the Lord of your
-
life. Today, be a good day. because
-
the reality is, your sword is just not sharp enough.
-
It may get some natural battles and deceive you into thinking,
-
you're powerful. But the reality is is snow
-
weapon compared to the sword of God.
-
And the king of all glory. Jesus Christ wants to give you
-
his sword, he wants you to be born of his kingdom, and he
-
wants you to have his spirit. So you can know his word and
-
have his sword. And no matter what you've ever
-
faced in life, it won't matter now because you will have the
-
weapon that defeats it, all you will be on the offensive.
-
You won't have to defend, you'll just occupy and take territory.
