The Madman || Pastor Diego Mesa

Welcome to the Lesse podcast. Here at Lesse, we seek the loss,

teach the found, and send the disciples. We truly hope you're encouraged by

this week's message. Let me just share with you a few thoughts before we

jump into the message. Whether you know it or you don't know it,

or want to know it, it's just a good thought. There is something

called the logos of God's Word and the raima of God's Word. They're both

Greek words that describe the word of God. The logos means the written word

of God. So every week you hear a written word of God. The

sermon is in written form. You read your Bible, it's in a written

form. Then there's something called the raima of the word. The raima is

the spoken word of God, that is for a season or for a moment

kind of thing. You read the logos of the word, he say this

is a great word. But then you read it sometimes and you say,

man, this scripture was talking to me. That's it's a logos with a

rama in it. Today is going to be a ramo word. Every person

in this building is going to hear a word for them that is going to

radically change their lives at all levels. But I'll tell you it's up to

you whether you will receive it or not. It's up to you that will

let the power that's in the rama word radically be an answer to transforming your

life. We're gonna pray the three Gospels bring out this story. I'm going

to read Mark's version of it. We're gonna stand on our feet. It's

long, it's twenty verses. Where the other Matthew and Luke it's it's shorter.

But I wanted to give you Mark's version because it infolds a masterpiece today

if we would make I know Hollywood's on strike, but if you were to

make a movie today, this would be a box office hit because it has

all the genres of movies in it. It has comedy, it has horror,

it has adventure, it has action, it has romance in it,

drama. It's the full encaption of everything which you stand on your feet.

Thank you Father for the Word today, and we honor you in Jesus name

Mark the fifth chapter in verse number one, here we go. They came

to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Genesaerus.

As soon as he got out of the boat. That's Jesus. A man

with an unclean spirit came out of the tombs the cemetery and met him.

He lived in the tombs, and no one was able to restrain him anymore,

not even with a chain, because he often had been bound with shackles

and chains, but had tore the chains apart and mash the shackles. No

one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and

the mountains, he was always crying and cutting himself with stones. When he

saw Jesus from a distance, he ran. He knelt down before him,

and he cried out with a loud voice, what do you have to do

with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I beg you

before God, don't torment me. And he had told him, come out

of the man, you unclean spirit. What is your name? He asked

him. The spirit's name was Legion, and he answered him, because we

are many, And he begged him earnestly, don't send us out of the

region, but send us to a large herd of pigs that was there feeding

on the hillside. The demons begged him, send us, send us to

the pigs, so that we may enter them. So he gave them permission,

and the unclean spirit came out and entered the pigs. The herd was

about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned there.

The men who tended them ran off and reported it to the town and

the countryside, and people went to see what had happened. They came to

Jesus and saw the man who had been demon possessed. He's now sitting there,

He's now dressed, and he's now in his right mind. And they

were afraid. Those who had seen it described to them what had happened to

the demon possessed man, and told about the pigs. They began to bag

him leave their region, and he was getting into the boat. The man

who had been demon possessed banged him earnestly that he might remain with him.

Jesus did not let him, but told him go home to your own people

and report to them how much the Lord has done for you, and how

he has mercy on you. So he went out began to proclaim in decapitalist

how much Jesus had done for him, and they were all amazed. Can

you be seated and give the Lord a big clap offering. I told you

it had all the drama that you could ever imagine, comedy, horror,

terror, action and adventure. And it's just simply amazing. When we are

gonna learn if you have a Bible written Bible, your texts above, it

might say the mad Man of Godera or the maniac from Godera, because everything

that you just read, I think we'd all agree this was a madman.

This was a maniac. And today we live in a world full of mad

men and mad women. Whether it's because COVID, the post COVID, whether

it's the economy, whether it's politics. We see mass shootings all over the

place. We see a rise in crime and violence. We see more people

on medication. We see life of divorce, infidelity, all kinds of breakdowns

taking place. We live in a very, very mad world today. And

can I begin to tell you that probably a lot of this madness is coming

from devils and demons that are very active in our world today. We today

are seen an influx of evil spirits intimidating people, manipulating people, dominating people,

and they are living abnormal lives of oppression, obsession, and even possession

and those are the three dominant words that stand out in this text that we

just read. With that in mind, I want to talk to you about

this city of godera. This city of godera. Notice what some scriptures say

after Jesus had cast out the spirit from this man that was possessed with six

thousand devils, Because that's what a legion, a Roman legion was made up

of six thousand soldiers. This demon had a name. His name was Legion.

That's how powerful he was. There are people today that have personality quirks,

or they have demons or devils that are oppressing them today. C.

S. Lewis made this comment when it came to talking about devils and talking

about demons. It reads like this, there are two equal and opposite errors

in which our race, the church, or humanity can fall about devils.

One is to disbelieve in their existence. You know what, diego, that's

a bunch of hogwash. There ain't no devil and there ain't no demons.

Well, that's what the devil wants you to believe in. Then there's the

one that disbelieves. The other is to believe, to feel an excess of

unhealthy interest in them or the other extreme is that everything is the cause of

a devil. This city was tormented. The man was tormented, but the

city was tormented. The people couldn't go to the park, they couldn't go

to the grocery store, they couldn't walk on the dirt roads. Because this

man brought fear. That's why they try to bind him. That's why they

try to incarceraate him. That's why they try to subdue him, because nobody

could do that, and so the city was terrorized. When Jesus cast out

the spirit out of this man, you would have thought that the people said,

thank you Jesus, because now we're gonna have normal lives. But what

do the people do get out of our city. We don't want you in

our city. You just affected our pocketbooks because our income comes from pigs.

And we want you, but we don't want you to change our lifestyle.

You can talk to us on Sunday morning, but don't talk to us on

Monday about our jobs, our marriages, how we raise our children, our

sex life. You stay in that church, you stay in that Bible.

So we see a big contrast that takes place. A city filled with people

who love their pigs, who love their bacon, love their pork, love

their childre so, and love their ham more than they love Jesus. Instead

of saying Jesus, you stay here. We want our pigs out of here,

they say, no, you leave because we're grieving over our pigs.

They want help like we do. They need help, they welcome help,

but they're saying this not at the expense of us changing. Don't ask us

to give up anything. Don't ask us to stop doing anything, and the

quote will be on the screen. Like these people us. They want Jesus

to solve their problems, take care of our concerns, take away our fears,

but don't ask us to give up our pigs. Answer my prayers,

do a miracle, heal my marriage, bring my children back to mother home.

But don't ask me to give up my pigs. And for some reason,

our society, our world, and even the church, we like our

pigs, whether they're called Pepper, Wilbur Boomba, or Porky or miss Piggy

in joking. We want change as long as it doesn't change us, as

long as it doesn't disturb us, interrupt us, or challenge us. Jesus,

I want you in my life. But the moment you start disturbing it,

interrupting it and challenging it, I'm out of here. I like this

church, abundant living. But when that diego gets into my business telling me,

which you're gone in my bedroom, how I should spend my money,

I'm out of here. It's found in John the sixth chapter. They did

that with Jesus when he started challenging them in John six and said many of

them followed him no more. So today we're gonna look at We're gonna look

at the condition of this man. We're gonna look at the cause of the

situation, and we're gonna look at the cure. Because today all of us

are dealing with conditions in our lives, some minor, some major, some

big, some small. But we have to look at the cause of that

situation to really get healed, and then God will bring the cure into our

lives. So here it begins to look at us some of the things that

were in this man's life. Here are the conditions that existed that you and

I just read. Tomb living. He lived in the tombs. He lived

around death. And there's a lot of people that live in darkness, they

live around death. They're comfortable about around a death, marriage, death,

health, death finances, death lifestyles, death relationships, darkness, secret lifestyle.

We like living around the tombs rather than the light, rather than where

there's life. We could grow comfortable around expecting death, thinking that that's the

only way that I could survive, is to have death in my life,

things decaying, things decomposing in my life. You are a Christian. If

you are a Christian, then you have the zoe of God, the life

of God in you and everything you touch, and everywhere you go you want

to bring life. You should be absolutely uncomfortable around death, things, death,

people, death relationships, deathness. I'm uncomfortable. It's out of the

ordinary. I tell my gardener often he does a good job. If there's

ever a dead plant in here, I want you to uproot that thing.

Don't let me come out here and see a dead plant. Because I don't

want death to be around my house. It's symbolic. I don't like nothing

broken in my house. As quickly as I cannot on it fix. I

don't want a broken fawcet. I don't want a broken screen door. I

don't want a broken spring because it represents my character. It represents my God.

There's nothing broken heaven, so there should be nothing broke in my lifestyle.

I've got to fix that. I've got to repair that. I've got

to call somebody to come. But it's easy to get comfortable with a broken

screen in a leaky faucet and continue to do life that way. But it

forms a mentality, whether you call it ghetto mentality, video mentality, poverty

mentality, that does not believe that God wants you and I to have better.

Let's skip for a moment the unclean living, because I'll come back to

that. He had no restraint living. He's absolutely unmanageable. He's absolutely uncontrollable

in his life. And there's a lot of us that have that in our

lives. We have a lot of things that are no restrained and can't be

subituted in our lives. They're untamable, they're uncontrollable, They're out of control.

Our emotions are out of control, our feelings are out of control,

our habits are out of control. We have unrestrained shopping, alcohol, drugs,

nicotine, cussing, spending, line eating habits, gossiping, sex,

too much work, anger, working out, too much, no restraint in

our lives. The next category that we see, we see chained and shackled.

Chained and shackled and chained and shackle represents to me a state of loneliness.

That this man was in a state of isolation, That this man was

in a state of separation, that this man was in a state of fear,

that this man was in a state of anger, and maybe a state

of ride that he was in he was yoked to false attachments and false attractions.

And there's a lot of people in shackles today. I feel so lonely,

I feel so abandoned, I feel so separated, and I have false

attachments in my life, and I have false attractions in my life. And

the last condition that we see in this man that really represents our world today

is he's cutting and he's crying. This man is suicidal. I don't need

to tell you the rates of suicide. I don't need to tell you how

many times the devil lies to us and tells us that our life would be

better dead than living. Ended. All today, your circumstances will be changed,

But the enemy does the bait and switch on you. He shows you

the high of something, but he will not show you the low. He

shows you the escape, but he does not show you how the regret will

look like. He shows you the enticement, the appeal, the sexiness of

it, but he doesn't show you the sorrow and the grief of it.

It's the Adam and Eve bait and switch. Look at this tantalizing fruit,

but I will not tell you that it's going to bring in sin in your

life. You will be like the most high God, but I will not

tell you you will lose your paradise and for fifteen minutes of joyous sex with

somebody that I'm not married to will bring a lifetime of destruction in my life.

It's the bait, and it's the switch that the enemy is doing to

our young people and to our culture today, and it's leaving people cutting themselves

and crying. So he has wounds, deep wounds, has deep pains,

and he has deep hurts that he can't get healed of. And there are

people here that I'm talking to today. You've got some deep wounds, You've

got some deep pains and some deep hurts that you just can't seem to get

healed of, and you're crying all the time, and you might even be

cutting yourself literally or at least the suicidal thoughts. We now get into the

unclean spirit because now we get into because many people want to deal and look

at the condition of their life. Just make my condition better, but we

can't make your condition better of life until we deal with the cause of how

you got there. Just give me the breakthrough, Just give me the miracle.

No, because you're gonna lose it, and the enemy will come back

and put you back in that place, and it will be the next divorce,

and it'll be the next job, and it'll be the next church that

did you wrong. Until we deal with the cause of this thing in your

life, it will follow you. We are so caught up. It's like

I'll use the infull commercial that you've seen before. I'm making one up.

It'll be on the screen, this INFU commercial. I promise you will get

rid of your headache. But I don't want you to see or read the

fine writing here may cause constipation, upset, stomach diarrhea, loose stools,

drymount drowsing, his change activity or mood drissing, this flushing, sweating,

rashing, rapid heartbeat, hair loss, hives, vomiting, nausea and fatigue.

But God bless you, You're gonna get rid of your headache. Is

that who we are today? Absolutely? Absolutely? We got to deal with

the cause of why I might be oppressed, obsessed, or possess. Why

I might have abnormal habits, abnormal routines. Why do these cycles keep coming

into my life? Whether it is an according to a time of the year,

or whether it is in relationships or places or people, How does it

get to that place? So this man, clearly he has what we call

an unclean spirit. When Jesus prays for him, notice how he addresses the

spirit, and he labeled him, and he gave him a name. His

name was unclean spirit, though he went by legion. When Jesus is doing

the exorcism on him or excommunicating or rebuking or casting out the spirit, he

calls him out by name, and he calls him an unclean spirit. The

Bible is filled with this. Don't get scared. The Bible says this.

Also a multitude gathered from surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick and those who

were tormented by unclean spirits. So Jesus often doubt with unclean spirits listen to

what I'm saying. Don't misquote me. Not all sicknesses are related to unclean

spirits, but some chronic sicknesses happen because of an unclean spirit. That's where

another message. Let's move on. Matthew says this, And when he had

called the twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits. If he

gave power over unclean spirits to those disciples, then he's given up power over

to us to overcome. Because Mark sixteen tells us that one of us signs

that you are a Christian is you have the ability to cast out devils.

But why can't we cast out devils because I'm full of the devil. How

can that cast out the devil? And someone else that devil look back at

me and say, you can't cast me out because you're full of the devil.

You don't you don't obey God, you don't live holy, you don't

live righteous, you have unforgiveness, you've gossip. Oh yeah, that's right,

forget it. This man had an unclean spirit. What is an unclean

spirit? An unclean spirit is something that's foul, perverted, abnormal, gross,

pornographic, profane, dirty, nasty, lewd, vulgar, crude,

dirty, filthy, obscene. It revolves around affairs and adultery and fornication,

and that's where the spirit was. I don't know if you and I don't

want to be crazy. I'm about as normal as can be. But every

once in a while, i'm walking through a crowd, I'm walking through something

and I get a foul whiff of something, and I know that there's demonica.

There's the demonic presence of an unclean spirit is in someone's life because it

will it will smell putrefied, be nasty smell. So where do these access

points? Where do these open doors come from? Innocently or purposefully? If

I called for an exterminator and I had a rat problem in my house,

okay, the exterminator can any will. He'll set up poison and he'll set

up rat traps and he'll get rid of them. But here's what he's gonna

do. He's gonna look for the access point because if he doesn't rid the

hole in the house, the entry point, then the rats, the ants,

the ack who, whatever it is, is gonna come back. That's

why we have to deal with the cause. We have to deal with the

access point of how did it get here? Why? Why am I so?

One of the signs of the presence of the enemy is is there's an

abnormity to something. When everything seems kosher, but then something abnormal happens.

It's often the presence of the enemy attacking someone's life. Okay, let me

tell you a story. Okay, So I'm could I just ask you to

talk to me for a moment. Do you think that m Do you think

I'm a Christian? Okay? Do you think I'm a pretty good pastor whatever

that means. Do you think I'm I'm not perfect, but I represent Godwell,

okay, we'll stop there. Okay, let me talk to you about

my life. I've been a Christian for forty four years. I've been in

full time ministry for thirty nine years. Don't don't no, no, But

up to a few years ago, for twenty five years, three to four

times a year, I'd have a reoccurring dream. I put in boatloads of

prayer in my life. I put in boatloads of scripture in my life.

I've done tithe and so an incident happened to me more than twenty five years

ago of someone that hurting me and they and they operated in a spirit of

witchcraft. They manipulated me, they intimidated me, and they dominated me.

About every three to four years, I dream and this person is dead now.

I would dream about this person in my dream, I'd wake up as

though they were alive and they were just I just this thing just happened to

me. But whenever this dream would happen, it would always bring manipulation,

intimidation, and domination. I was always scared in the dream. There was

not joy, there was not love, There was not peace in that dream.

There was not victory in that dream, and often had a sexual connentation

to it. I know I'm deep now and walking on water because you don't

know where I'm because I'm probably the only one, huh. I get with

an intercessor somebody who operates in the gift of discernment, and they say,

pastor, I see you are being attacked by a spirit of witchcraft. So

she begins to ask me a series of questions and I immediateize I'm not participating.

Which grab are you crazy girl? What are you talking about? Ain't

norwegi board around my house? Ain't no which doing some hexes or potions?

In my life. She said, no, no, no, that's all

I'm talking about. She said, could there be anybody that you know I'm

practicing witchcraft on your staff? And I started in my mind looking at them,

okay, calling names out. I said, well, I don't think

anyone is operating, which I know some of them act like the devil sometimes,

but I don't take that. They said, is there anything in your

life that reoccurs? And then I remembered the last twenty five years three to

four times in a dream. She said, tell me about it, and

I told it, that's it. We're gonna pray right now, and we're

gonna take authority over that strong man and that stronghold that is attacking you now

in the name. And that was about four years ago. And I've never

dramed about that. I think I had one dream, but it was a

good dream, never a bad dream, never sexual anymore. The torment left,

the access point left, so where are the let's go back to let's

go back? Where are the access points? It's witchcraft activity, participation or

associations with Hex's curses, incantations, pledges, bloodsheds, animal sacrifice, either

you directly were participating in it, or a great grandparent was participating in it,

or someone around you was participating in it, and they included you in

a curse. They include you. Now here's what you need to know.

Here's what you need to know. The blood of Jesus protects you. So

don't get scared here today. But we have to we have to define some

causes here today of why some things are attacking people so freely. Because when

I was a kid, you say I did this, or I was married

to someone and they had all these voodoo candles and all these crystal and they

did all these things. Okay, there we go. Though your heart has

been tendered toward God and you didn't necessarily participate in it, but you associated

association next to sexual impurity, orgies, promiscuity, homosexuality, transgender be steality,

porn, child or adult dominatrix, swinger's lifestyle, rate, molestation or

incests unopened door. Now you could have been innocently obviously raped, molested,

or had this done to you. And if you're a Christian and you're walking

in complete victory right now there, you're not harboring unforgiveness. You don't wrestle

with dreams or emotions. And fire and larder. You're a healthy person,

then I'm not talking to you. But there's a lot of Christians that this

has been done to them, and they're full of shame, and they're full

of guilt, and they're full of condemnation and their shoulders. Don't know why

their shoulders are like this, don't know why they can't look at people in

the eye, don't know why they have a failure and a defeated attitude.

It could be the origin and the cause and the access point of this,

please go on. Then there's a cultic activity idle worship, devil worship,

and then the illegal use of drugs that causes hallucinations seen into the spirit world

and behavior modification. This goes far than I smoked a joint. Okay,

I mean you you love the fact that you would leave your body, you'd

hear voices and there was all that. That's that's what we're talking about today.

Are you with me today? Okay? Now, I'm gonna that's that's

kind of heavy. So I'm gonna take an intermission break right now. So

go get your popcorn, go get your clear for your bond bonds and your

raisins. Intermission time. Let me look at a passage of scripture here today

that is in this story. It's amazing. And he cried out with a

loud voice and said, what have I to do with you, Jesus son?

This is legion, that unclean spirit, most High God. I implore

you by God that you do not what's this word? Why would he tell

him not to torment him unless he had the power to torment him? But

yet you don't believe in the devil, and you don't believe he's got any

power. Okay, look at the next version of this. And they begged

him that he would not command them to go into what the abyss? Why

would he say that unless Jesus have the power to throw him into the abyss

or hades or hell? Next one, and suddenly they cried out, saying,

what have we to do with you, Jesus, you son of God?

Have you come here to torment us? Here's the keyword. Watch this

word before the time, devil, the devil and demons are not atheists like

Christians claim to be. Hashtag had dropped the mind tattue, and let's leave.

Here's what you need to know that the devil knows the devil and demons

know the authority that Jesus has. They're absolutely scared and terrified of him.

That's why if you're a born again, blooded washed Christian who's living a godly

life, I don't care what voodoo, I don't care what which, I

don't care what which doctor gets in front of you and put it all,

bounce off of you, and come back and slay them. They are taught

that insatanism don't mess around with a born again the Bible believing, holy righteous

saint. But but I'll leave it at the butt. The devil and the

demon know their future. The devil and demon needs permission. And the devil

and demons think they're smarter than Jesus, because watch what they said, Please

don't let us leave Godera. And that's when you're dealing with a spirit that's

in a person. They try to fool you by me meek and sweet.

Don't don't hurt us that hurt. We're nice, and they'll cry, oh,

I see you, devil, what you're doing right now. Don't be

fooled. Don't be fooled. And so they're saying, don't cast us out

of Godera, let us go into those swine. But they're stupid because Jesus

knows the future of the swine, and the swine in about a few minutes

are gonna die. So you're gonna be judged and condemned. Right now,

you lose. Intermission is over. Thank you for that past. The basket

will receive the offering, the second offering. Now, here's the three words

that will land this plane now. Oppression, obsession, and possession. Here's

the three things that operated in this man's life that often that operate in our

lives today. This man is clearly oppressed. An oppressed person is somebody who

can't sit down. This guy can't sit down. But when Jesus delivers him

for the first time in his life, he can rest. He could be

quiet. He's not fidgetty, he's not agitated, he's not overly busy,

got to do something all the time. And there are a lot of people

they can't sit down, they have no rest because they're pressed. I don't

know why I'm always tired. I don't know why I'm always weary. I

don't know why I feel so heavy. Your own pressed, sister, you're

you're not a bad person, but you're being oppressed by the enemy. The

second thing is he's obsessed. He couldn't. He never wore clothes in his

life. He's naked, and our oppressed life leads to shame and guilt and

condemnation. You are uncovered. He's obsessed, and that's what the obsessed life

brings into our lives. He doesn't know how to start something, or he

can't. He can't finish something, and he can't stay with something. Why

why can't I start this? Why why can't I finish whatever I said?

Why can't I stay with something? It's in acid. There's no sin in

your life. You're just under the attack of the enemy. And you've got

to call that thing out. You've got to notice what it is. Let

me let me give you a quote here about a functioning madman and a dysfunctioning

mad man. Don't confuse a functioning mad man with a dysfunctioning man man.

One is not better than the other or more acceptable. Both of them need

deliverance. Appreciate your message today, brother messo. Ain't nothing wrong with me?

See because I make I make I make seven figures a year. Sir,

car drove up You see the house I drove up in. You know

how many employees I have. I know because you're a functioning madman. You

don't roll your eyes, I'd be a dysfunctioning madman. You know how to

stove and profile from nine to five, but it's after five when the madman

starts appearing. Your private life does not match your public life. Your invisible

life does not match your visible life. There's a lot of beautiful people,

but they're they're they're just simply functioning mad people who have learned how to cover

it up with a fake smile of Hallelujah, Praise the Lord. So this

man is dealing with an obsession in his life, and last of all,

it's Claire. He's dealing with a possession. He's possessed somebody controls and dominates

his thoughts. He's got a crazy mind, and almost whatever comes into his

mind he feeds and he gives into. But I'm so grateful for Jesus.

Here's our last verse that's found in Luke eight, and here's this statement.

Meanwhile, the eye would is reported to them how the demon possessed man was

delivered, and you're going to be delivered today. No way do you have

six thousand demons in you? No way do you have the depth of this

man's lifestyle, so there's no reason why you should not and cannot be delivered

today. Here's a man that never sat down, who's sitting down. Here's

a man who never wore any clothes, and he's wearing clothes. And here's

a man that could never control his mind, and he's control in his mind.

This man had a lot of nevers in his life. He never went

to a birthday party, he never had an anniversary, he never swam,

he never ran, he never laughed, he never had joy, he never

had love. But he's got it now for the first time in his life.

He's set free. He could be everything that God called him to be.

And just like this man, there are a lot of people that have

tried everything and failed. And just like this man, there's a lot of

people that have sought a lot of help from everyone and every thing and have

fallen short. But today your rejection, and today your disappointment, and today

your denial will end. And I'll end with this as Daniel and the team

come forward, and God has going to now begin to minister amazingly in the

midst The next five to ten minutes is going to be the most important time

for some of you in your life. Something's going to happen. The intercessors

are going to come forward and they're going to take their take their position.

But here's the key here. Jesus gives some amazing instructions to this man.

He says, go tell everybody what the Lord has done for you and how

he has shown you mercy. The greatest way for us to stay delivered is

for us to share our faith, is for us to witness our lifestyle.

And Jesus knew that. He wasn't rejecting him by telling him you can't follow

me. He was telling him, here's how you're going to stay delivered.

Go tell everybody who the Lord is to you and what he'd done for you,

and those demons will never ever feel like they can come back. And

we've stopped sharing our faith, we stopped telling people we're Christians, we stopped

witnessing, and when that happens, the enemy knows he can come and occupy

again in our lives. We're gonna sing a song and I want you to

start thinking today where the Spirit of God has ministered to you, where you

need him to minister to you, from something simple to something in depth.

All of you have one of these, don't you know? One of these?

Are? How many of you know? This thing talks to you.

It tells you to pick me up, it tells you when to pick it

up. And I'm talking about the phone ringing. I'm talking about social media.

And if you don't watch it, this thing will control you. It'd

affect a mood and attitude. Well, when I go on here, I'm

not on a lot. I'm not on Facebook and all these other things.

I do Instagram and I don't do it. I read people's Instagram, so

I have my beloved daughters there and I'll see them. They post pictures and

I like that. And I like Voswagon, so I know some Vosewagon guys.

And I know people that work out, and so I'd like to see

what their workout was. The problem is is this thing was talking to me

just a little bit too much. And I don't like nothing influencing me in

controlling me more than Jesus. So I was watching It's subtle settle sin is

that late? I'm at a stoplight, and why do I need to pick

you up and start looking at you? I'm waiting in line. I got

to pick you up start doing. It's in between commercials, and I gotta

look at you. Is that. I came to film yesterday and I after

I work out, I have a recovery drink. It's chocolate and it's a

It's in a big cup. So I'm driving. I'm drinking it. Okay,

So I go and I teach a class, and I go and talk

to pastor Julio about doing this song. I deal with Hobby over there because

he sets all this up. Then I go all that I'm doing. All

these active talk gonna be. But I go into the office, put this

shirt on, at press it and in this jacket, and I look at

myself in the mirror to look and I say, what is that? And

I have a chocolate mark right here from when I went like this with the

glass. Hobby didn't tell me about it. Julio didn't tell me about it.

And I go home and I'm looking at laying my pants ound and I

see a chocolate mark right there on the buttocks. So when I was drinking

it, it fell on the seat of the car. And then I I

said, that's the way these issues are. We don't see them, but

everyone else sees them. Let's this minister. Don't move, don't move,

Please, don't move. Here we go. There is power the name Jesus.

There is power the name Jesus. There is power the name Jesus.

To break every cheap break, every chain break, give free chan, to

There's an arysy to break everything, break everything. Okay, I don't know

what level of bondage, compulsion, addiction, tragedy, hurt things you're dealing

with today, but God does. Here's the key to getting set free.

You've got to renounce, and you've got to repent or the prayers will not

work. You've got to renounce that open door that took place, and you're

gonna have to repent to God. And I'll lead you in that prayer.

But I want you to be clear, because the spirit that might be influencing

your affecting you doesn't have to leave. That's why that worked mission was there.

If you permit him to stay, we can't do anything. But if

you don't want him anymore, and you don't want this habit, this routine,

this negative lifestyle anymore, these thoughts, then you're gonna pray that prayer.

Then we are going to take authority over that spirit and we're gonna act

communicate him, and we're gonna tell him that he cannot come back and have

it. He has no place in you anymore. He is You are no

longer his resting place anymore, and he will leave just that quick. And

then we're gonna we're gonna worship just one more time. Let the Spirit of

God just bring the sitting position in you, and the clothing position in you,

and the right mind in you. Just say this, Dear Jesus,

you know who I am, and I recognize today that there might or there

is some oppression in my life, some obsession in my life, and even

some possession in my life. And like this, man, I cry out

to you. I get on my knees and I beg asking you to set

me free, knowing that only in Jesus can I be delivered, Can I

be saved, and I can I be healed. So in the name of

Jesus, devil, I denounce you and ever demon, and every spirit that

is intimidating me, manipulating me and dominate me. I serve your notice that

you are no longer welcomed nor you wanted in my life. I repent Jesus,

feel me full of your spirit. And in the name of Jesus,

and in the authority of Jesus name, I take authority over every spirit that's

been attacking you and tormenting you. And I command you to be delivered.

In the authority and in the name of Jesus Christ, devil, go and

do not return every every every cause, every condition, be healed, and

be delivered, and be set free from now in the name of Jesus,

give you the son sets free, is free. Indeed, in Jesus Mighty

name, come, I ever change. Everybody says I never change, I

ever changed. Chan Cha I ears I hear that change, breathing the name

changing. I hear, I hear the change. Shay this with me.

I'm now able to shit. I am now clothed, and I am now

in my right mind. Jesus is the Lord, the Shavior, the boss,

and the king of my life. I am free in Jesus name.
