-
Lord, we have just declared to you that we will do whatever you want
-
to. We want to make room for you, not only in this room
-
to move through this room supernaturally, powerfully, spiritually, but we make room
-
in our hearts for you to make changes in our hearts and our perspective and
-
our perception of ourselves, our perception of other people, our perception of how
-
our lives have gone, and how our lives can go. We make room
-
for you to open the eyes of our heart. Open to our ears,
-
open our eyes that we may see or we may hear, that we may
-
perceive and conceive when you have planned in your heart for us. Thank you
-
for being so patient, because we are all so hard headed. Can I
-
get it? Amen? We are all so hardheaded. We always want to
-
do things that way. We think we know more than God. So I
-
pray that you break agreements that we have to believe the devil's lives about our
-
lives. I pray you break agreements that we have believed about that those lines
-
about our relationship with you, your faithfulness, your power, your patience,
-
your love, your forgiveness. Lord, we have believed lies about all those
-
things, and we have stunted our spiritual growth, and we have allowed obstacles
-
of getting our way, and I love for you. Now I'll intimacy with
-
you. I pray we break those tonight in Jesus thing, Amen, give
-
someone the high fine, Come on, jerk, you may be seated.
-
Jesus. How y'all doing tonight by a show of hands? How many of
-
y'all were not here this morning? By a show of hands? Okay,
-
so then I'll reintroduce myself as Miles McPherson. I am pastor in San Diego.
-
Grew up in New York. Was drafted to the NFL nineteen eighty two
-
so Los Angeles Rams, got cut from that team, and then played for
-
the San Diego Charges four years. My first two years I was doing cocaine,
-
smoking weed and chasing women, running from women. And then I got
-
saved, stopped doing cocaine in one day, got back on my girlfriend that
-
same day. We were married thirty nine years. We got three children,
-
two grandchildren, eight and two weeks. My granddaughter is two weeks old today.
-
Tomorrow, well tomorrow, she was two weeks old fourteen days today,
-
and I'm excited to be in Washington. When I was growing up, my
-
father I would grew up in New York and my father told me that I
-
was adopted from Puerto Rico. I'm not adopted, y'all, Like, oh,
-
man, that's sounds said I. Actually he was a joke, and
-
I knew he was joking, but he would always tell me that I was
-
adopted from Puerto Rico, because in New York, when you look like this,
-
you're Puerto Rico and light scanned, green eyes, straight head, blah
-
blah blah. My I my grandmother's wife. My other grandmothers have Chinese and
-
black, and my grandfather's a black from Jamaica, Westindy. So I just
-
happened to come out looking like this. So he would go, you know,
-
your mother's in Puerto Rico. And he always say, man, that
-
man a made it, which is is Spanish from look, hey, you
-
you look. And so all my life I was like, all right,
-
well, I like Puerto Rican girls. I think they're beautiful, so I'm
-
gonna up marry up being a Puerto Vian girl. And so literally all my
-
life I was looking for a wife since I came as young as I can
-
remember looking for my wife. And I did find her when I was twenty
-
she's not Puerto Rican, but she looked like one. And uh, literally
-
she walked in the door and she was Puerto Rican. I told my friend's
-
gonna marry her, and I did. I ended up dating her and marrying
-
her. If you weren't here this morning again, I told the story about
-
when I asked her to dance, she said no, and then I asked
-
her and she eventually did. Then I asked her to slow dance and she
-
said no, and she never did it m that night. Then I asked
-
her for her phone number and she said no, And I said, how
-
am I gonna find you? How am I gonna see you again? She
-
said, you figure it out and she left. So I went to the
-
registrar's office, I knew some people who knew some people, got her class
-
schedule, went to a class and stalked her and uh it actually it actually
-
wasn't a stark situation, because you know, stark is like they follow you
-
for a long time. This was like, how you doing, I'm here,
-
So it really wasn't a stark thing. So I've had this on this
-
plight to learn Spanish um growing up. So when I became a pastor twenty
-
years ago. We started our church in San Diego, and about thirty percent
-
about churches is um Spanish speakers, mostly from Mexico. I started to learn
-
Spanish, and so I went to Costa Rica for two weeks to learn Spanish
-
in a school. And I was talking to my teacher said, how do
-
you say Como city say? Boyfriend? Said no vo? Everyone say no
-
vo. I said, comost say girlfriend, no Va say no va.
-
And then you know, they paused a little bit and they said there's another
-
term, amigos. So I know the three words. I'm trying to put
-
them together. So amigo is friends, cone is with dalcho is right,
-
but les rights benefits. So I was trying, Ah, you mean they
-
said the benefits. So in other words, I got a boyfriend over here,
-
but I'm gonna get you're my friend with certain territorial rights on certain days.
-
I got a girlfriend over here, but you have territorial rights on certain
-
days. Amigo, call dell. Get the idea. A lot of people
-
have an amigo called deletos relationship with the devil. You have this relationship with
-
God. You come to church, you're saying, raised your hand, all
-
that kind of stuff. But the devil you have a little side agreement,
-
a contract with the devil. A certain days, certain times, certain situations,
-
you do what he says. They're called satanic agreements. Everybody has them.
-
I was in the hotel coming here. Before I got here, and
-
this guy in the hotel started talking to me and my executive pastor, and
-
you know, I'm like, you talk to me. We're gonna talk about
-
God. So we started talking about God, asking of you Christian blah blah.
-
And I said, yeah, I'm going to preach at a church over
-
here. You should come because I'm gonna be talking about satanic agreements. He
-
said, I don't have any of that. I said, yes you do.
-
He says, yes you do. He said, what do you mean?
-
What do you mean? I said, well, have you ever agreed
-
to compromise your faith? If you ever agreed not to read the Bible,
-
if you reread, not to pray, not to get you having an agreement
-
with the devil. So today we're gonna talk about satanic agreements and want to
-
give you an opportunity to tear up your contract you have with him, because
-
some of your contracts are deep and long, and some of them came from
-
agreements you made because someone called you something when you a kid, did something
-
to your kid, and you hold on to that all your life. And
-
it's been a barrier and an obstacle in your life all your life, and
-
it will be until you break it. In Jesus name, can I get
-
it? Amen? Okay, First you have to understand who you are.
-
You have to understand how God created you. I believe God the heavens and
-
the earth like greedy, I believe he did it in six days. And
-
by the way, if he did it in six billion years, he's still
-
big. Don't get hung up on the little stuff. Whether it was twenty
-
six days or six billion years, don't get hung up on that. The
-
fact that and people who argue with me, well, God did it.
-
It was six billion years, Okay. That means God is older than six
-
billion years old and he's ginormous. That the universe is expanding at the speed
-
of light. Scientists will tell you today that the universe is expanding at the
-
speed of light. The Bible says that God opens stretches out the heavens like
-
a curtain. Matter of fact, they say some of them believe that the
-
universe is expanding faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is
-
one hundred and eighty six thousand miles per second. God is doing that to
-
the universe. Somebody's doing that to the universe. So I believe that God
-
created the heavens on earth. Now you may say you believe in a big
-
bang. Fine, that's fine. Who banged it it? For real?
-
Who banged it? Someone had to bang it? And then your minds are
-
in the guta. Well, listen, they had nothing has ever, nothing
-
organized has ever resulted from an explosion. So they had to be energy to
-
blow it up. They had to be matter to be blown up, and
-
then it had to be someone to organize it. The universe is very intricately
-
organized. It's like a fine watch. I give you an example, ladies,
-
when you wake up in the morning, all this is blowed up.
-
Can I get an amen? Ladies? It's just like blast. Something happened
-
over the night. It just came like an atomic bomb. You get up,
-
you get to the bathroom, and you go dang, and then you
-
realize that there's chaos all over Genesis one. Chaos was over the sea,
-
right, and then what do you do? You in your creative self,
-
you apply heat mascaria color. Yeah, it's scary sometimes, you know what
-
I'm saying. And you create this masterpiece. Can I get amen? Ladies?
-
That's so so okay. It blew up, but then God, the
-
master creator, organized it. So you have to understand that that even though
-
people science will may say this, say this, I'm a science guy with
-
an engineering student. I love science. Science leads to God. God created
-
scientific principles, so to lead us to Him in one of those. And
-
I'm a math guy. Math is my favorite subject. In math will tell
-
you you can never have an infinite series of past events. There has to
-
be a beginning. I'm gonna say it against slow. Math will take you,
-
teach you. You get your highest PhD math person and just ask him
-
or her, can there be an infinite series of events in the past?
-
They'll say that has to be a beginning. That beginning is God? Well,
-
who began God? God is the beginningless beginner, He's the uncaused cause,
-
Well, how do you explain that? I'll explain it to you.
-
Imagine the universes of basketball and is expanding at the speed of light. That
-
means it's going someplace where there is nothing. There's something outside of it,
-
because it's going somewhere. God exists outside of the universal. The rules of
-
universe don't apply to him because he created them so you would find him.
-
He is the beginningless beginning, the uncaused cause. So God created university,
-
created everything. And then he made man, and then he made whoa man?
-
He made man, and he made whoa man? There is nothing else,
-
and one cannot become the other. He made man. And then he
-
said, Adam, Adam is all these animals, and there's nothing compatible with
-
you. And Adam said, you know. He said, you can pick
-
anyone you want. And he said it's a gorilla. But to Harry got
-
a giraffe. And next, too long, I can't get you can't get
-
to the lips. It's too high, too high. God put him asleep,
-
made a woman, a wound man. He woke up and he went,
-
whoa man? He said, so a woman comes from He's like,
-
whoa Okay, whoa man? Okay, that's your name? Who man?
-
Five things about? Let me let me reach in. It's just one twenty
-
six. God said, let us make man and our image us our father
-
son, holy Spirit. Let us follow sun, Holy Spirit, make man
-
and our image, follow up, Son and Holy Spirit. According to our
-
likeness, Father, Sun, Holy Spirit. Let them have the minion over
-
the fish of to see the birds of the ant, over the cattle,
-
and over all the earth, and every creep that creeps on the earth.
-
Those creeps are bugs and men. I don't know what you said, but
-
it was, you know, those creeps, bugs and men. That's not
-
a theological statement in my opinion, that some guys can be creeped. Okay.
-
God created man in his own image, and in the image of God,
-
he created a male and female. Then God bless them and said,
-
be fruitful of multiply, fill the earth, subdue, and have the mean,
-
you know, an efficient to see birthday at over every living thing that
-
moves on earth. He's what God said. God told Adam and Eve,
-
I made everything and it's good. Don't mess it up. We'll get to
-
that in a few minutes. Image and would say, I am age.
-
God made you in his image. I'm gonna give you five things. They
-
want to get to the devil because you need to understand who you are.
-
I is that each one of you is individually unique. There is no there
-
are no two people alike. You have your unique eye, vein pattern in
-
your eye. When you do a retinal i D they are scanning the vein
-
patterns or the patterns of veins in your eyes, the vein pattern in your
-
eye, in your hand, throughout your whole body is unique to you.
-
Your thumb prints unique to you, your footprints unique to you, Your DNA's
-
unique to you, and your thous about things about you that are unique only
-
to you. And not only that, your face is unique to you.
-
Nobody has your face. For some of you, that's good. For some
-
of you that's bad. But nobody has your face. Look at the Bible
-
saying its one thirty nine thirteen to fourteen. You for you formed me in
-
my inward parts. You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise
-
you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous. Everyone give me this,
-
Give me this, Give me this. Okay, just just hold on
-
and say, don't get anxious, give me this. Everyone can I get
-
this because I just marvelous. You gotta say it like you're from harved say
-
a marvelous. Every single one of you is marvelous. I know you thought
-
that you looked at the mirror this morning, said I'm beautiful. I'm telling
-
you. The Bible says you are marvelous. For real, you are marvelous,
-
and it says that my soul knows very well. Your soul knows even
-
when people tell you that you're ugly, you're stupid, you're dumb something,
-
and you says, no, that's not true. You don't want it to
-
be true, and it ain't true. And that's the battle you're in.
-
Your soul knows very well. You are individually unique. You are a moral
-
mirror. I am. You are a moral mirror, say, moral mirror.
-
We were created not to have our own brownity. What we see in
-
the world today is people making their own morality. Here's what's right according to
-
me, here's us right according to us? No, no, no,
-
we are a moral mirror, not a moral creator. A moral mirror reflects
-
the moral morality of God. When you buy a diamond ring, ladies,
-
how many y'all have a diamond ring or diamond anything, or even as cubic
-
as a corny and we'll take that. You do? Ok She's like I
-
do, ok ahead, you got you just got engaged? Oh okay okaye?
-
Like I do. I thought you got okay, okay. A diamond.
-
A diamond has zero bling. When you see diamonds sparkle, they cannot
-
sparkle except with a light onto it. If you ever diamond in the dark,
-
you can't see it. But if you're bringing out in the light,
-
blame ning, ling, ling Ling. It is designed to reflect the light.
-
You and I are God's diamond. We're designed to reflect his light,
-
not to have our own. When you start thinking you have your own,
-
that's your problem. That's a problem. The reason the reason when an animal
-
kills another animal it's not a crime scene is because the animal has no morality.
-
When a person kills another person, it's a crime scene because we have
-
morality. The reason we have a justice system is because we have a moral
-
compass. But you can't blame an animal for killing another animal, or even
-
killing a human. They don't know any better. They're not moral creatures than
-
I created an image of God, but you and I are, and we
-
have responsibility to reflect the glory of God and the morality of God, not
-
the morality of man. A authority to rule by the way First Peter one
-
sixteen, be holy fina, Holy God never said that to a cat can't
-
say to a boat, can't say to a lion. I was in Africa
-
a few years ago and this guy had a ranch like a thousand acres and
-
he was raising lions and tigers and all kinds of animals and literally they were
-
in these pens like five acapens, twenty a copens on hundred a depens.
-
And he said, do you want to go in and feed the lions?
-
I was like, what do you mean, like throw the meat over the
-
fence. He said, no, no, we're gonna go with custard,
-
put it in the thing and put it in their mouth, full grown lions.
-
There's six of them. And so the guy who lived in South Africa
-
said, I would never do it. I'm not going there because those things
-
they might have a flashback and think you're the zelle and you know, just
-
eat you. I'm like, when would I ever have a chance to feed
-
the lion? So I gotta do it. So I go in there and
-
I'm surrounded by the lions, their mouth, their heads like this high off
-
the ground, and they're all wanting to eat from my hand. And I
-
prayed the whole time because those lions, they're not thinking, oh this is
-
past the miles from San Diego. He's gonna make it that that wouldn't be
-
a nice thing to just swap him and knick his head off, because they're
-
they're instinct. They don't have morality. We have morality, ay authority to
-
the rule. We are given the authority to rule. Genesis one twenty six.
-
God said, let us make man out image according to our likeness.
-
Let them have dominion over the fish, to see the birds of the all
-
the cattle, over all the earth, and every creeping thing that creeps on
-
the earth. I'm gonna read that again a little slower, and i want
-
you to try to notice what is not on this list that man has dominion
-
over. I'm gonna read it slower, and I want you to try to
-
notice what is not on this list that man has dominion over. It says,
-
let us make man in our image according to our likeness. Let them
-
have dominion over the fish, the birds, the cattle, and the creek
-
bugs. Never says people. Dominion over people is slavery bondas we were not
-
giving dominion over people. We were not created even to have authority over you.
-
As a pastor, I don't have authority over the people. I got
-
authority over the environment that God, the people who are to walk into God
-
has authority over your life. Now, of course as a boss and you
-
know all that kind of stuff, but this kind of spiritual authority's God and
-
your job, my job, my job of my kids is to have authority
-
over the environment that they're in, to ensure that the environment groalifies God,
-
that they would seek God. When my daughter was born, my first daughter,
-
she's thirty seven now, when she was born, we created a room
-
for her, you know, bassonet is that what they call things, the
-
things they the crib and we had bob wire around the crib. We had
-
the lights, sensors, broken glass from the window sill. We didn't want
-
anybody climb up on the room. Could we create this environment for her that
-
she would eventually seek God? God, Sis, I want you to take
-
care of the planet. I made the planet. Everything's good, the birds,
-
the bees, the bugs, the fish, the land animals and everything
-
is fine. And I mean even I want you to manage it, steward
-
it so it glorifies me. I'm gonna start a series a few weeks on
-
end Times, and one of the first questions we have to ask ourselves is
-
what is ending? What did God begin that? Why would he end it?
-
Because what he planned for it to do ain't doing it anymore. We
-
in trouble. God's friend, God, God greater love has known than this,
-
than the lay down his life for his friend. God creates for a
-
relationship. Why is it every song on a radio about love? I met
-
Carrie Underwood's husband, that Christian he was at He were on his board together,
-
and I'm not a country's music guy, and um, did you say
-
yet? Oh? Um, I'm sorry, it's sad. Is that what
-
you said? It's sad? Okay, but wait till the end of the
-
story. Hunty not a country music guy? And uh from New York.
-
We don't have country in New York. So I I, you know,
-
I met the guy who's real cool. He was a humble guy, Christian
-
guy. So I started listening to carry under a song I love caring to
-
would. I remember when she was on American Idol and her jeans and every
-
time she sang she did that, you remember that? Every time? I
-
was like, oh, this girl, and and Casim Kaw said You're gonna
-
be the biggest thing, and he was right. I mean she she blowed
-
up and that girl will be working out. Let me tell you something.
-
But anyway, um she works out. Um she was singing all these songs
-
about cheating and hitting breaking trucks with bats and you know, and and funerals.
-
Was that what what do you say? What? So? I called?
-
I text him. I say, yo, man, you better be
-
careful because if you stuff, she coming after you. So I started listening
-
to So now my wife and I listen. We don't listen to the country,
-
but we are starting to. Wait a minute, we think we like
-
some of this stuff. So I'm starting to like country. Young lady over
-
there, Okay, songs are about relationships. Why because God creates for relationships.
-
If you were to go to the hospital because you needed a long transplant,
-
you know, one of the first things they're gonna ask you is do
-
you have a support system, Because if you don't have friends in your life,
-
people who care for you, we're not going to give you a loan
-
because you're gonna die. You need relationship. Every song you singing, Oh
-
I love you, I want you, we called began music. In the
-
black community, we have what we call began music. Have you all,
-
baby, baby, please that kind of music began music. Okay, it's
-
all about it's all about relationship. You might want to look up Luke evangels.
-
Try to start there. It's kind of easy, kind of easy.
-
So so you are, by the way. Lastly, you are eternal.
-
So you're you're individually unique, every single one of your individually unique. You're
-
a moral mirror. You're given the authority to rule every single one of you.
-
God has given authority. Two, you're a God's friend. He wants
-
relationship with you, and you are eternal. John fourteen one to three.
-
Let not your heart be trouble believing God. Believe also on me. If
-
my father's house had man, my father's house has many matches. If it
-
were not so, I would have told you I go to prepare a place
-
for you. There is a place for you in heaven. So how is
-
it that if we are a God's friend, we are eternal, we have
-
authority, We are his moral mirror, and he made us individually unique because
-
he loved us in care for us. How is it that the devil could
-
have any authority over us? We give it to him. We give it
-
to him every time we make an agree with the devil. We are telling
-
the devil, we are giving you authority over our life. And many of
-
many of us have long standing agreements that you don't even know you have.
-
And you walk around with holding his hand every single day, making decisions based
-
on his wisdom, not God's wisdom, on his permission, not God's permission,
-
at his demand, not God's demand. And then we walk with God
-
and we come to church and we think, how is that possible? Well?
-
Number one, number one, Adam and Eve, how did they?
-
How did the devil get this authority in their life? They gave it to
-
him, They made an agree with him. Genesis chapter three. Let me
-
read this to you now, I wonder before I read Genesis three one to
-
sixty, I want to tell you this. The devil speaks three times in
-
the Bible. Everyone say three times. He speaks first to man, and
-
he tries to turn man against God. That's what we're gonna read. Second
-
time he speaks, he speaks to God to try to turn God against man.
-
Job third time he speaks, he speaks to the God man Jesus,
-
to try to turn him against his father. Every time the devil speaks,
-
he is trying to destroy relationship between man and God. I'm gonna say it
-
again. Listen, I'm gonna say it's slower. Every time the devil speaks.
-
He tries to destroy relationship between man and God because if he could break
-
that relationship, he now has you on his own. Divide and conquer.
-
What do we see in culture trying to divide kids from parents is divide and
-
conquer. Try to divide you from yourself. You are not who you are.
-
He can get you to look in the mirror and say I am going
-
When I was used to cocaine, I would look in the mirror, say
-
you are going to do cocaine. It is not good for you, but
-
you're gonna do it anywhere I was say yes, sir, Yes, sir.
-
That's what he's doing. People are soul so blinded by his deception.
-
How a little, a little kid could say I'm not a boy and to
-
let a doctor do something to him to change and make a lifelong decision that
-
every single one of them are gonna regret. It is It is satanic deception.
-
Let's read this. I want you to as I read this, I
-
want you to think about what's going on in this story and how the devil
-
is deceiving Adam and Eve to surrender their authority to him. Now you may
-
go, you believe in Adam and Eve. Okay, let's let's do a
-
little math here. How many y'all got parents, because it's not a trick
-
when we raise a hand, put an elbow above my hear, just kind
-
of way up here. How many y'all got parents? How many y'all born
-
of a man and a woman? Okay, none of you were born of
-
a man and a man, and none of you were born of a woman
-
and a woman. It's impossible you were born of a man and a woman,
-
whether they're married or not. It's not a thing a man and a
-
woman got together. You'll follow me. Okay, they had parents, right,
-
they had parents, Right, they had parents. You could trace that
-
back. And you can't do it infinitely because you can't have a series of
-
past infinite events without the beginning. Guess who the first parents were, Adam
-
and Eve. That has to be a parent. That has to be a
-
first parent. That has to be And so here's the thing. The servant
-
was more cunning than any beasts of the field which the Lord God had made.
-
The devil is smarter than you. Everyone say the devil smarter than me.
-
He is. Now, he's not smarter than God, but he's smarter
-
than you. He's not smarterer than God, but he's smarted. So if
-
you have God, then you got more wisdom than he has. But if
-
you tell God God, I'm gonna listening to the devil right now, then
-
you now you're on your own. You're gonna get spanked. Okay. The
-
servant was more cunny than any beast of the field than the lord God had
-
made. And he said to the woman, Hey, girl, what's your
-
name? Y'all heard that? How many old ladies heard that? Brother before?
-
Oh? Hey, what's that a girl? How you doing? You
-
look good at those curlers? Has God indeed said you shall not eat of
-
every tree of the garden? Now, the woman said to the serpent,
-
we been eating the fruit of the trees of the garden. But the fruit
-
of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said
-
you shall not eat, nor shall you touch unless you die. I'm gonna
-
give even a minus on Bible memory because God didn't say thing about touching it.
-
But I'm gonna fail her on practical Christianity. Do you know why Yes?
-
What's your name? What did you say? What is your name?
-
Kendra? Do you know why she failed? What did she do that she
-
shouldn't have done? She talked with the devil when I was a dating my
-
wife. When we were dating and before I got said, I was a
-
very jealous kind of guy, and I was always trying to get in fights.
-
I really wasn't trying to get in fights, but I should have got
-
in a fight because every time a guy looked at my wife, who was
-
my girlfriend at the time, or if I went to the bathroom and they
-
were talking to her, I would like just go perserve. I'm like,
-
what's up, man, what's up? What's up? Right? Because I
-
knew that they weren't saying to her that I was a good guy. They
-
were trying to get her phone number for that good Can I get amen?
-
Whenever you talk with the devil, he does not have your best interest in
-
mine. There's no way he All he wants you to do is to bow
-
down and worship him. Same thing he told Jesus. If you, if
-
you are the son of God, do this. If your son of God,
-
do this. If I get if I give you all the kings of
-
the world if you bow down and worship me. Matthew chapter four, we
-
read it this morning. And so whenever you have a conversation now, are
-
you ever going to see the devil? Probably? Now, he don't waste
-
our time on the pians like us. He's talking to governments, presidents,
-
dominions, and even then he's probably just dealing with his devonic principalities that are
-
dealing with with presidents. We're like, weigh down on the totem pole.
-
Is he is causing global confusion? But whenever you consider that God didn't tell
-
you the truth, you're having a conversation with the devil. He said,
-
what did God really say? Doubt, how are you going to know if
-
you don't read the Bible. If all you're doing is trusting your pastor every
-
week to feed you, I don't care if he's super Jesus, that ain't
-
enough. You gotta read on your own, you gotta pray on your own.
-
You gotta when you get up in the morning, put your worship song
-
on. But if you're just waiting to come here and then you miss a
-
week, then you miss a week, and you're here once a month,
-
two months. It's like saying I'm gonna lose weight. I'm gonna go to
-
the gym once a month and lose weight. Brother polices, that ain't gonna
-
happen, it said. The woman said, we may eat the fruit of
-
the trees of the garden, but the fruit of the tree which is in
-
the middle of the garden. God has said you shall not nona shaw you
-
touch it. Lets you die. The servant said to the woman, No,
-
you will not die. That's a lie. The Bible says that the
-
penalty of sin is death. Not only will all of us die and put
-
be put in a coffin. Your dreams die, your relationships die, your
-
health dies, your opportunities die, your bank account dies, your vision dies,
-
your hope dies. And God is so gracious not to smite you dead
-
on the spot. He starts to warn you. How man, have y'all
-
been hung over? How a y'all been hungover from alcohol? And listen,
-
we're in church. It's okay, we're gonna forgive you now. You're not
-
gonna wrap yourself out. Okay, I used to do. It's cocaine,
-
No big deal. How man, y'all have been hungover? Just to make
-
you feel better. Okay, raise your hand. Really, come on now,
-
you don't want your kids sitting here. It's like, okay, I
-
don't want well, my kid is saying me. God and his Mercy said,
-
I'm mourning. You don't do this again. God and his Mercy sam
-
giving you a tiny hint of death. When the devil tells you you will
-
not die, and then look what he says, you will be like God
-
or he knows the day you eat, your eyes will be open and you'll
-
be like God, knowing good and evil. This is I have a sermon
-
called the Devil's number one Weapon, which is right here. It's a twofold
-
lie that not only will you not die from your sin, but you can
-
be like God and be in control. Our world is full of people who's
-
saying I am in control of my life. I know better based on my
-
knowledge. I am my God. No you aren't. Whenever I teach on
-
giving, we talk about you know, all the money you have is yours.
-
I mean, as gods and you gotta tide. Tide is not really
-
giving, it's returning. Tide is not giving. Whether you tie is an
-
offerings, you're not giving it. You are returning to God what belongs to
-
them, and if you keep it, you are stealing. And so I
-
tell the church, if you don't believe that, just tell God. Go
-
home and tell God God, this is not your money. This is my
-
money and you can't take it. Don't say that when you're standing there me
-
because that lightning both my missing just hit me. Tell God, God,
-
I am your equal and you can't do anything to me. I don't think
-
you're that dumb. The devil wants you to think that you have that dumb
-
that you could be like God. What you blew up the universe? You
-
organize the universe. You created a whale, you created I was just down
-
your water. What was the water we were at? The pugeon sound?
-
Is that Pugeit is that the same right? Okay? Isn't it another word
-
for a bad smell? It's like puget. What does that word? Pungent?
-
Pungent? Okay, it's not the pungent sound, it's the fugure sound.
-
Okay, I'm saying it was beautiful. It didn't smell anything. I
-
didn't smell anything bad. Yeah, I think in New York we say pugeent.
-
That's what kind of what we say pungent? Uh? Did you did
-
you put that there? Did you put the snow on the mountains out there?
-
Do you even know what snow is? Do you know the temperature that
-
has to be to half snow? Thirty two degrees? It won't snow if
-
it's twenty Do you know how many pounds thousands of tons of water in clouds?
-
God read the book Joe. God talks smack. He starts listening to
-
all this stuff. You don't notice you? Do you know when bears hibernate?
-
Do you know when why they just puts an egg in the ground where
-
you can step on it. Why he does that? He said I did
-
all that, fool, You didn't do all that. And when the devil
-
tells you you could be like God, you need to step back and not
-
listen to that guy. And then look what it says. When the woman
-
saw that the tree was good for food, pleasant to the eyes, a
-
tree desirable to make one wise, she took her true and eight and she
-
gave to her husband and he ate. And then after that it says the
-
eyes of them will open, and they knew they were naked. It's not
-
in the text, but I just want to give it to you real quick.
-
Why that was true. I have a theory on what happened when they
-
sinned and why all of a sudden they knew they would naked. Why they
-
didn't know they would naked before they sinned. There's a there's a there's a
-
study called bio photonics. Everyone say bio photonics. Two words biology and photography.
-
Bio photonics. A photon is the smallest unit of light. That's where
-
you get the word photog graphy from. It's a study of light. Light
-
travels at eight hundred and eighty six thousand miles per second one hundred eighty six
-
thousand miles per second. Little tiny packets of light called photons are shooting across
-
the room. Biology is living things. Bio Photonics is the study of light
-
coming out of living things. When you see a baby born, the baby
-
has a glow to it? Can I get amen? When you see a
-
woman in love, she has a glow to it? Can I get amen?
-
When you see a woman preca she has a glow to her. She
-
canna get amen? The love and life coming out she just glows. It's
-
not only she's smiling, but there's something glowing about her skin. And then
-
when she and guys get old, they get dusty. Anybody knows some dusty
-
people, you get dusty. So that's why you gotta go buy Muscaria because
-
you want to get the glow bag telling you that's what it's called. So
-
read the spelling. It's messcaria. Okay, actually it's mscary, but you
-
know I put the air on the thing. The reason that's a billion dollar
-
business is because people are trying to return the globe. Living things shine,
-
Dead things are dust. You shall return to the dust. Look at it.
-
Look at it by apple. That's fresh, that's edible, it's shiny.
-
On arms, it's shiny. And then when they rot and die,
-
they get dusty. So here's Adam and Eve, first humans ever to live,
-
no sin. We know nothing about that kind of person. Here's my
-
theory. The bio photonic light was so bright they couldn't see their nakedness,
-
and then when they sinned and died, the light turned off. Any when,
-
oh, I think about this, as beautiful as we think some people's
-
bodies are, imagine what they were before. That isn't ironic that you said
-
you're the light of the world. H Literally, you're the light of the
-
world. That's not in it. That's all for free. But I just
-
want to get back to when they decided to agree with the devil, they
-
gave away their authority. Every time you make an agreement with the devil,
-
you give away your authority God. The devil cannot attack God. He tried
-
with Jesus, but he can't destroy Jesus. He lost that battle. He
-
can't destroy God. So he comes after God's image, you and me,
-
And the only way he can get us is if we let him, if
-
we agree. That's why deception is so powerful. He can't just take it.
-
We have to give it to him. And he tricks you by making
-
you, convincing you that you can actually do what you want and get away
-
with it. And so we say, okay, devil, I can have
-
sex all night with all my teenage years, all my twenty something and it
-
won't make a difference. Oh, yes it will. I can smoke go
-
to weed I don't want it, can make a difference. Yes, I
-
can do all the cocaine. Every time you make an agreement to do something
-
that God doesn't want you to do, you are signing a contract to take
-
the devil's advice over God's advice. And it is a contract. And guess
-
what he does. He's the accuser, accuses us day and night before God.
-
You don't think that the devil. The Bible says, he's an accuser
-
that accuses you day and night before God. You don't think the Bible and
-
that the devil's not calling your name out right now as you sit in this
-
church saying God, look at that hypocrite. They got drunk this morning.
-
They were out knocking boots last night. They don't know knocking boots is banging.
-
Okay, you're banging this morning. Oh I lived with my boyfriend.
-
We go to church. We just go to church because that's what the world
-
does. And you think it's normal. It's common, but it ain't biblical.
-
And you will suffer. Chances you get married to go down. Chance
-
you get in a divorce, go way up. You're getting drunk, you're
-
getting high, all the stuff that that you all heard before. Don't do
-
this thing. There's a reason why those things are harmful. The Bible,
-
the devil tells you you don't need to bring your Bible to church. This
-
is church. I don't know your pastor by I gotta believe just from being
-
here that he reads from the Bible. Don't answer this question, but do
-
you bring one? Do you know how to read it? Do you pray
-
on your own? Do you tie? Do you? Are you generous above
-
that? If not, you're stealing from God. He cannot bless your finances.
-
Doesn't mean you won't make more money. It just means you won't enjoy
-
it. Are you being sexually pure? He won't bless knocking boots? And
-
if it feels good to you, imagine what it would be like if it
-
was righteous. These are all agreeings with the devil. And we have all
-
these contracts with the devil. And then we come to church and lift our
-
hands, and God's like, what's you doing? You got more contracts with
-
him than you got with me. You just pray for me to forgive you.
-
That was the only contract we made. And then you went off on
-
your own. Adam, they had the whole world satanic agreements. Give Satan.
-
This is this is gonna hopefully scare you legal authority over your life.
-
When you make it. Agree with the devil. You are telling the devil,
-
I'm gonna do this for you, and then that's what the devil says
-
to you. I'm gonna do this to you. You have given me permission
-
to bless you with my curse. I should do cocaine. You know what
-
I was saying to cocaine not knowing it, devil, I'm gonna trust cocaine
-
to bless me and make me feel good. Well, cocaine only has a
-
couple of ways of making you feel good, and it's temporary, it's addicting
-
and harmful. I'm gonna trust that sex is gonna make me feel good.
-
Well, sex outside of marriage and outside of a commitment, it has its
-
benefits, but it also has its downside and a whole bunch of them.
-
I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna trust that lying out of this situation
-
me, lying is gonna bless me and get me free. Well, it
-
has a consequence because if you get caught, when you get caught, because
-
God he knows, has consequences. So every time that you make an agreeing
-
with the devil and you trust him, you are and trusting your given authority
-
to that thing over your life. You see people at the bar. My
-
wife and I we love to go to Vegas. Just every Christmas. After
-
Christmas, between Christmas and New you go to Vegas, go see some shows,
-
hang out, and we come down from from the room and you gotta
-
walk through the casino. Come down to the room. Eight o'clock, go
-
work out, eight o'clock, go to breakfast, and I'm walking and there's
-
people into casino smoking a cigarettes. And if you smoking cigarettes, let me
-
tell you, someone's not gonna send you to hell. They'll just make you
-
smell like you've been there. But it's not gonna send you to hell.
-
But it is poisoned in the temple eight o'clock in the morning, gambling the
-
money away, losing money, smoking and drinking, tearing the body up.
-
And God's like, you are entrusting your happiness, your future in that.
-
It's a contract with the devil. The devil's lying to you. You think
-
you're gonna win, you think you're gonna gain Vegas billions of dollars made on
-
suckers like us. It'll never happen. You have to break those contracts.
-
And when you make those agreements, you are telling the devil, I surrender
-
this part of my life to you. Why would you surrender any thing to
-
someone who hates you and wants to destroy you, because he has come to
-
steal, killing, destroy job. Chapter one, verse twelve. The Lord
-
said to Satan, behold all that he has in your power. Only do
-
not lay a hand in this person. God will give Satan permission over your
-
life, especially when you tell God I'd rather listen to him than you.
-
That wasn't Joe's situation. But God you you, the devil will have permission
-
over your life. And when you voluntarily say devil, I'm gonna trust you,
-
God says, you're on your own now. Because God is gracious,
-
because God is patience, he'll probably save you from our knucklehead self. But
-
he will give permission of the devil. That's why when you get hung over,
-
God says, yeah, he needs to, He needs to feel a
-
little something something today because he needs to know what he did. He crossed
-
the line. First Corintie's five fifteen five one to five. First Corinthians one,
-
five to five. It says, it is actually reported that their sexual
-
immorality among you, and such sexual immorality as not even named among the gentiles.
-
I wonder if the sexual immorality in this church and my church, because
-
we got a whole bunch of people fuck wild in my church too, So
-
don't don't think I'm figuring on you. You know what I'm saying, Oh
-
my goodness, but I'm glad they're there. That's what it's supposed to be.
-
This And by the way, if you feel like I'm stepping on your
-
toes, good But this is where you're supposed to get your told steped on,
-
because when we stepping on the loving last let's love little tap love tap,
-
love tap. It says there's people up in the church that's more buck
-
wild than the people in the world. This is what it's said. Watch
-
this. That a man has his father's wife. That's Craig, Craig.
-
I assume it's a stepmom. Hope it's a stepmom. Even though I had
-
a staff member whose mother did something sexually with him. And you are puffed
-
up and have not rather mourned that he who has done this deed might be
-
taken away from you, For I, indeed, as absent in the body
-
but present in the spirit, have already judged him as who has done this
-
deed in the name of the Lord Jesus. When you were gathered together along
-
with my spirit with the power of the Lord Jesus delivers such a one to
-
Satan. What if they're not going to repent, let him go walk with
-
Satan. But let the devil deal with you, because it's really people don't
-
change until the pain of staying the same is too much. So I'm not
-
going to keep calling you and make you feel good. So you keep doing
-
it. You need to realize this is wrong. I had a guy wants
-
and he was I was witnessing this kid, and he says, I if
-
I was to sin all my life and use drugs all my life and then
-
right before I got saved, right before I died, I asked you to
-
forgive me. What do you forgive me? I said yeah. And then
-
the kids say, why would God let me take advantage of him, of
-
that like that and live my life and party and do all this stuff,
-
and then he gets saved to ever every end? Why would he let me
-
cheat him? I said, no, no, no, no, you
-
don't understand, homie. You cheated yourself. You missed out on an amazing
-
life. You think drinking and all that stuff is better than what God could
-
get you. You are misled because the devil has told you. The only
-
thing you know is the devil's blessing, which our curses on your life.
-
And you think that the more sex I got, the more drugs I do,
-
the more sin is better. No, no, no, no,
-
you don't understand. It's death. You are a dead man walking. And
-
Paul says, this deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his
-
flesh that his spirit may be saved. Listen, let that Let that brother
-
go out there and be crazy, get his diseases, get sick, anything
-
it will require for him to repent. At least he'll repent. I'm telling
-
you, you got to tear that contract, though, And so here's what
-
we're gonna do. We're gonna have a collective prayer. You don't have to
-
pray it unless you want to break the contract. I'm gonna tell you this
-
last thing. Satanic agreements can only be broken in Jesus name. Matthew twenty
-
nineteen, Jesus came and spoke and said, all authority has been given to
-
me in heaven and earth. You have to believe that all authority, everyone
-
say authority, all authorities he has been given to Jesus. Corinthias two nine
-
for in Christ, all the fullness of the deity lives in Him bodily,
-
and in Christ you have been brought to the fullness. He is the head
-
over every power and authority. You have all authority over heaven and earth,
-
over every satanic demonic force in your life. You have that authority. You
-
have to believe that doesn't mean you feel all yoked up like that. It's
-
like, what's going on? Get the myths out of me? Sobel's getting
-
me ready to get punched. You have all authority in heaven over all demonic
-
forces in your life. But unless you believe that and exercise that, you're
-
gonna walk around like you're weak, defeated, chained up in bondage. Lastly,
-
Colossians two fourteen to fifteen. And you, being dead in your transgressions
-
and the uncircumstances of your flesh, he has made alive with him, having
-
forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against
-
us, which was contrary to us. And look what it says. And
-
he has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
-
And one say, nailed it to the cross, having disarmed principalities and
-
powers. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphaning over them in it.
-
I want you to think about the agreement you have. Your sexual agreements,
-
your chemical agreements, your self esteem agreements, your jealousy agreements, your
-
anger agreements, your resentment agreements, your unforgiveness agreements, your bitterness agreements,
-
your self destructive behavior agreements, your envy agreements, all those things. You're
-
like, dang, I got a lot of agreements. You sure do.
-
It's like a whole list of stuff the devil keeps writing out for you.
-
And guess what, when he accuses you before God day and night, He's
-
like, there it is right there, runder. Take your stuff that you
-
got on your phone, on your computer that you think only you know.
-
There's stuff you got in your closet that only you think only you know.
-
It's all open right there before God. And so in a minute, we're
-
gonna declare freedom from these agreements with the devil. And then I'm gonna ask
-
the passes to come forward, and we're gonna pray for you, because some
-
of y'all need to be prayed for. You need to pray for it,
-
to ask Christ to forgive you of your sin. You need to pray for
-
to have someone anoint you with oil. You need to be prayed for it
-
so you can break the chain because you've been living it bound up with chains
-
for a long time, and that your soul knows very well and you do
-
not know the freedom in Christ. But God wants to give you that freedom
-
today. So I'm gonna ask. And by the way, we're declared this,
-
we're not gonna go Dear God, please devil leave me alone. You
-
know we're gonna shout this bad boy. We would have declared the Bible truth
-
on this bad boy. Amen, Amen, come on, stand up,
-
stand up. So here's what's gonna happen. We're not done yet. We're
-
gonna pray and then I'm gonna ask you to come forward and for prayer.
-
If I gonna ask them, the pastors to come forward, and we're gonna
-
have prayer for you, because we want people to lay hands on you and
-
pray for you and encourage you. But they're gonna put this prayer on the
-
screen and we're gonna shout this together. Okay, if you can put that
-
on the screen, and then I'm gonna read it as they see it.
-
Okay, you're ready. Now, here's the thing when you read something.
-
Everyone, everyone, take a deep breath in. Say amen, feel that
-
strength. Now take a deep breath out, say amen. See what I'm
-
saying. You're like, amen, Okay, you don't want to. We
-
want to. Huh huh huh huh. You got it. You got it,
-
and we're gonna class. Now. It's your volume is it's really the
-
passion. We don't want to be like, oh yeah, god, yeah,
-
you know your body posture. We want it to match your conviction.
-
Amen. Amen, So we're gonna read this together. Let me let's read
-
it here. It's right outside. Ready, one two three. In Jesus
-
Nay, I voluntarily declare that Jesus is Lord of all. I declare that
-
Jesus died and rose from the dead, defeating the power of Satan. I
-
declare Matthew twenty eight let should say twenty. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
-
it's nineteen, my man. Just read it as it is. Let's go.
-
I declare, Matthew twenty nine eighteen that Jesus has all authority in heaven
-
and earth. I declare that Jesus has disarmed all evil principalities. And powers.
-
I surrender all authority in my life to Jesus and declare that Jesus is
-
my lord and savior. I exercise the power of Jesus Name over all evil
-
influences in my life. I repent and break all agreements and contracts with the
-
devil. What's this? What's it? They're gone? Come on, now,
-
they're gone. Come on, I'm released. I'm released. I release
-
myself of all guilty and shame related to my Satanic agreement. In Jesus name,
-
I break the power of evil spirits involved in my life, Satan.
-
In Jesus name, I command you out of my life. Jesus. I
-
ask that you annoyed me with the Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit. I invite
-
you to take over my life Holy Spirit. I ask that you fill me
-
Holy Spirit. I ask that you empower me. In Jesus Name, I
-
declare that I am free. Come on, chur, Let me pray for
-
you. Let me pray for you, Lord God. We have declared your
-
biblical truth, and that declaration was based on your word. And God,
-
you cannot lie. Your word never returns void. It's living an active sharpen
-
than the two edges of sword. It's the foundation upon which we stand.
-
We have nowhere else to go for salvation except Jesus Christ, our Lord and
-
Savior, who died and rose from the dead. Satan, we know you,
-
hear us. We know that you're gonna come fight back. You're gonna
-
deceive us and think that that didn't mean anything, But it did. We
-
are free. We were walking out freedom, we were living out freedom,
-
we were singing out freedom. We will to re celebrate in our freedom.
-
And when we get when we messed up, when we when we stumbled,
-
we will repent. God will forgive us and we will move on in confidence
-
that He loves us, that he has saved us, that he has forgiven
-
us, that He is with us as our eyes are closing on our heads.
-
About if you want prayer, I want you to pray this with me,
-
and then I'm gonna ask you to come forward. Because we know that
-
are people here who have carried burdens for many years. You've been in bondeds
-
for many years. There's some of you never asked Christ to be your savior.
-
I just want all of you to pray with me in your spirit if
-
you would like to either ask Christ to be your savior or you just need
-
a prayer. Just pray in your in your heart to say, Dear God,
-
I need you today. I need encouragement today. Forgive me of my
-
sin. I surrender my life to you afresh. Thank you God. As
-
our eyes are closed on our heads about We're gonna worship right now, just
-
one song. But I want you to come out of your seat because our
-
passes are here that want to pray for you. People want to get baptized
