  1. You're listening to a message to go from axt church.

  2. We hope this message will light up your tea.

  3. People have asked me before, can a Christian be possessed?

  4. When I got delivered from this because I was scared

  5. of the dark and all that kind stuff. I had

  6. to fight my own demons in here. Can you imagine

  7. being in in fear all the time? And I will

  8. deny myself to be used by God. The dark world

  9. is very real also, right, But so is the light world.

  10. Right.

  11. There are also many angels that are for us, and

  12. the Bible says, I think it's Psalm ninety one, verse

  13. eleven and twelve. It says that He gives his angels

  14. charge over you to keep you from, you know, dashing

  15. your foot against the stone.

  16. Okay, so the angel.

  17. World that we cannot see is very real, God's angels,

  18. he himself spirit Jesus seated at the right hand the

  19. Father the heavens very well. But the dark world is

  20. very very real. Also, another knowledge I would like to

  21. remind us of is that this dark world definitely came

  22. from fallen angels, angels that rebel against God. So they

  23. definitely have a mission to bring people down and more importantly,

  24. to lead people away from God. Okay, so understand that

  25. because some people go so understand that. Okay, there is

  26. all right. Can they harm you if you know Christ,

  27. if you have the Truth living in you, if you

  28. have angels around you, well no, they are not given

  29. that authority over someone who has got Christ living in them.

  30. Now people have asked me before can a Christian be possessed?

  31. I actually have seen enough testimonies to know that they can.

  32. But then my question mark is whether they are Christian

  33. or not, because sometimes you can be.

  34. Christian by name.

  35. You're Christian because your father's a Christian. You're a Christian

  36. because you go to church once a year. Christian because

  37. when you have Christ living in you, and the Holy

  38. Spirit is in you and angels are around you, you

  39. are not supposed to have any of these things be

  40. able to bother you. The question mark is sometimes we

  41. are not in that place whereby we are full of Him,

  42. and when we are not full of Him that we

  43. leave space for other things to come in. The other

  44. thing about how they actually do eventually come in is

  45. because we somehow some way allow them to either like

  46. for a couple of many years ago in my growing years,

  47. Ouiji board was a very real thing, and that actually

  48. that you are allowing the spirits to come into you.

  49. So just don't mess around with the dark world. Don't

  50. play around with the dark world. Don't go to you know,

  51. the territories that they are play in, all right, uh,

  52. and just just don't unless the Lord is telling us

  53. go in there and clean the whole place up. Then

  54. you're going in instruction by the Lord because someplace needs

  55. to be cleaned up. House cleansing. For example, you go

  56. to a house people just became Christian. Now their place

  57. is full of darkness. You can go in there because

  58. now that person has just given No. You never go

  59. into a houser to clean it when the people haven't

  60. accepted Christ because you asking for trouble. And the Bible

  61. actually says that you will get spirits even stronger than

  62. the spirit you cast out.

  63. You with me.

  64. But this is very real, uh, and it happens. We

  65. don't know what those guys played with. We don't know

  66. what those guys dabbled with. We don't know what those

  67. guys you know, or maybe just because they don't have

  68. Christ in that so already is is an open book.

  69. The door is not locked. You know, the door is

  70. open for any enemy to just come in whenever they

  71. choose to. But you have Christ, you have the Holy Spirit,

  72. and the angels of God are around you. But yeah,

  73. because we are human beings and we hear things, we

  74. watch movies, you know, we we we get imagination, and

  75. actually we are fighting with our own imagination more than

  76. we are fighting with the ghosts most times. Uh and

  77. uh and and many times when I got delivered from

  78. this because I was scared of the dark and all

  79. that kind of stuff. But I had to fight my

  80. own demons in here, my own imagination in here.

  81. Uh.

  82. And when I was able to overcome that, I was

  83. able to overcome by the grace of God. Most of

  84. the time, we're always doing things, especially if we don't

  85. understand the spirit world, we're doing things that are just temporary.

  86. You know, like ten people pin that guy down.

  87. You know. You know sometimes when the evil spin goes

  88. into a person that the person can be so strong

  89. he can actually push away ten people.

  90. Yeah, that's because it's no longer his strength, right.

  91. But I know sometimes when we hear it go like

  92. you know, the hairs are standing by we we that's natural.

  93. That's natural.

  94. But the supernatural is that God is with you right

  95. uh and and really, really I want to tell you this.

  96. If you believe right that He's with you, if you

  97. believe that the Spirit of God is with you, if

  98. you believe that God truly has got his angels around you,

  99. the blood of the Lamb. And that's why it's times

  100. even if we are scared, although we already know some

  101. of this knowledge, don't just rely on the knowledge.

  102. Only begin to engage into prayer life.

  103. Example, for myself, wherever I go to any hotel, and

  104. some hotels can be really full of all kinds of stuff,

  105. you know, I.

  106. Will plead the Blood of Jesus a.

  107. Few times at night, not just once, And if I

  108. feel a little bit more scared, I will say it again.

  109. I plead the Blood of Jesus. Because it's not so

  110. much that we don't know. We want to actually get

  111. ourselves in that place whereby we are confident that it's

  112. going to be okay. So will you not be scared

  113. if to tell you right now, just don't be scared

  114. like it is.

  115. You know, it's like.

  116. Denying the human side of you. And I had to

  117. sleep in the hotel room many times alone. I'm telling

  118. you right now, but I will if I have to

  119. even memorize and say, yes, the angels of God are here,

  120. The Angel of God with me, The angel of the

  121. Angels of God are as real as the demons.

  122. They are as real. Sometimes we think the demons more

  123. real than angels.

  124. Why why the angels of God are as real right,

  125. and even more powerful?

  126. But you know you sometimes I know that.

  127. I don't want to use the word psack yourself up,

  128. but sometimes you it's like psyching yourself up with the truth.

  129. You can also pack yourself up with a lie, but

  130. you want to psych yourself up, feel the brisks, feel

  131. yourself up because now the thoughts of fear and emma,

  132. where did it come from?

  133. So you now to get rid of something.

  134. You gotta put something in right, you gotta you gotta

  135. now fill yourself with something else. So feel yourself with faith,

  136. feel yourself with the Word of God, feel yourself with

  137. no no, no hold on.

  138. Angels are here.

  139. Angels, even if you really repeat it for another thousand times,

  140. do it, because uh, this is this is this, It's

  141. not just knowledge.

  142. Is making knowledge real because someone's can have knowledge, but

  143. it's not that real.

  144. In fact, the other, that one is more real because

  145. you heard them screaming, so it becomes and only when

  146. you saw and you heard them screaming, it then filled

  147. you with fear. So now instead of hearing them screaming,

  148. you gotta hear yourself saying.

  149. But the angels of God.

  150. I hear the Angel of God is right next to

  151. me on the you know this bit, the angels of

  152. got is in the bathroom. When I go into the

  153. bath room, there's an angel there. There's an angel on

  154. my next to my bait, there's an angel. And my

  155. door there's an angel. You know, you you you you,

  156. You see and hear only the dark side, and it

  157. feels you now you gotta see and hear the bright side,

  158. which is real. So don't be a word about psyching

  159. yourself up. I know the word is not the best word,

  160. but it's the way we understand. So come on, God

  161. is with me. God is with me? You want to

  162. say another thousand times, God is. I tell you the

  163. truth that sometimes I've been to some places that know

  164. I could feel it something. So I go out of

  165. my bed, I go like Jesus, you're with me, Lord,

  166. you're with me. I know you're with me.

  167. Somebody, I say it.

  168. I see now no red morning haeh, praise God.

  169. But there I go like, oh, but I have to

  170. be here three nights. I do it again.

  171. I do it again, because God just wants to feel

  172. me right. And then there'll come a time where by

  173. you totally brick to it. You don't even think about

  174. it again, it's nothing to do you anymore. But but

  175. what just happened was all these noises.

  176. And I tell you what. The enemy always works on fear,

  177. and fear is like a door.

  178. Kind So you want to close that door, you want

  179. to lock that door.

  180. How do you do it?

  181. You do it by making sure you counter the thoughts

  182. with good thoughts, God thoughts, Bible thoughts, truth.

  183. Uh.

  184. And I do it. I do it many times. And

  185. I want to give you some some thoughts. The blood

  186. of the Lamb, Like tonight, if you have to go back,

  187. the blood of Jesus covers me.

  188. The blood of Jesus covers me. The blood of Jesus

  189. cleanses this room.

  190. The blood of Jesus covers this university, the blood of Jesus.

  191. You just keep doing it because the.

  192. Blood of Jesus is very very powerful, rights very very powerful.

  193. The angels of God are with me. The angels of

  194. God with me. God's angels are here.

  195. Yeah.

  196. Now, I'm not saying that your hand won't sheep sometimes,

  197. you know, if you're really of the type that you know,

  198. I mean, you experience it.

  199. So you're scared, but you can. And I'm telling you

  200. right now.

  201. If you will do it and do it and do

  202. it and do it, you'll get over it.

  203. I guarantee you.

  204. But there will be this in between moments where you

  205. feel more scared than not.

  206. But you know how what I tell myself that really

  207. helps me.

  208. If I continue to do this, I talk to myself

  209. like Kenneth, if you continue to be like this, you

  210. will not be able to be used by God anywhere else.

  211. So I do this.

  212. You know, I said, if I'm scared in this hotel,

  213. then I won't want to go to any other hotel.

  214. If I'm scared to travel alone, I will never travel alone.

  215. If God asked me, if I can you imagine being bound,

  216. imagine being in in fear all the time, and I

  217. will deny myself to be used by God in the

  218. So that gets me angry that gets me angry because

  219. the devil wants to put me in this hole in

  220. this corner where Kenneth. You know, I'm gonna make you

  221. so scared that if God calls you to go alone,

  222. you never gona go alone.

  223. And and he's gonna deny me of a future.

  224. So I said, I don't care, you know, somebody I

  225. tell myself, I don't care. I want to sleep in

  226. this lord, I don't care. You know, I say, you

  227. you do what you want to. Sometimes you do whatever

  228. you want to do. Like sometimes I get so angry.

  229. You do whatever you want to do. You can't touch me,

  230. you know the blur of that. I get so angrier

  231. because he's denying me my future. He's denying me my

  232. you know. I he's denying my my sleep. I get

  233. angry when someone denying myself. You know, enough, it's enough,

  234. you know? And then I go enough's enough sometimes sometimes

  235. and me just okay, okay, this guy, I think he

  236. knows his stuff right. But don't ever think that you

  237. are so small in your faith. If you have to

  238. pray a thousand times that night, don't worry about it

  239. all right, even you last. I remember one time I

  240. even sang in the name of Jesus.

  241. This the old song. In the name of Jesus, we

  242. have the victim.

  243. My husband, be very fast, because in the name of Jesus,

  244. demons will have to flee. And I sing it loud, No,

  245. I say it loud as the neighbors who can hear

  246. it when we stand or the so someone can get

  247. to know some of these songs and sing it.

  248. You know.

  249. But I tell you what, as you keep doing it, brother,

  250. you know the light in the minday of Jesus, the

  251. light will shine. And where the light shines, there can

  252. be no more darkness.
