-
Hallelujah, someone thank the Lord for doing great things,
-
greatest the Lord and greatly to be praised.
-
Hallelujah. We love you Jesus.
-
We love you Jesus. He's a good, good God.
-
Thank you Lord, Amen. He's a good God, isn't he?
-
And thankful for the Spirit of the Lord, Amen.
-
Here tonight. God.
-
Could just do things at the same time and it doesn't take him a
-
long time and we can worship, we can praise, we can run, we can
-
shout, we can hear the word, people can get the Holy Ghost,
-
people get baptized. All that can happen in the same
-
service. It's not like one has to replace
-
the other one being no, no, no, it is a full package.
-
This thing, the word faith and and his spirit, all that's a
-
full package. Amen.
-
I want all of it. We need all of it in this day.
-
We need all of it in this day. We need to move with the Spirit,
-
but we also need a word from God.
-
We need all these various aspects and facets, Amen, of
-
God's Kingdom. Amen today, if you'll stand with
-
me tonight, Amen. Speaking of the word of the
-
Lord, we're grateful for the word of the Lord that we heard,
-
Amen this morning, that we took into our souls and our spirits.
-
And we are happy to have Evangelist Adrian Rather Sanford
-
with us here for the next few nights, Amen, In a few days of
-
these series of services, Amen. We love and appreciate him and
-
his obedience to the Word and to the will of God.
-
Amen. We're just going to join in,
-
aren't we? We're just going to get in the
-
yoke with him tonight and work the land tonight.
-
By the by the word of the Lord, will you make welcome one more
-
time here this evening. Give God praise and glory as
-
Evangelist Sanford comes Amen this evening.
-
Amen. Let's give the Lord some praise
-
in the house. Come on, let's praise Him for
-
what he's already done, and let's praise Him for what he's
-
going to continue doing in this house.
-
Amen. I don't believe the Lord has
-
finished just yet. And we've had a great move of
-
the Holy Ghost and people being renewed and refreshed, and we're
-
going to have the name of Jesus applied in just a few minutes.
-
And I'll just echo what Brother Mcgee's already said.
-
The Lord can do a whole lot in a short amount of time.
-
And if you're here and you've never been baptized in Jesus
-
name, the waters are about to be troubled in the next few
-
minutes. I'm glad to know that when we
-
get baptized, we do more than just get wet.
-
It's more than just a feel good moment.
-
We do feel good. But you enter into a covenant
-
relationship with the Lord. His name's applied to your life.
-
His blood covers your life. And you're no longer at a
-
disadvantage. You're no longer the victim.
-
Amen. Thank God for baptism in His
-
name. Neither is there salvation in
-
any other, for there is no other name given among men under
-
heaven whereby we must be saved. Amen.
-
Whatsoever you do, in Word or in deed, do it all in the name of
-
Jesus. Amen.
-
I'm glad that I've got the name applied to my life.
-
And if you don't have the name applied to your life, just be
-
like that eunuch. Why, Terrius thou there's much
-
water here. Amen.
-
Amen. This is.
-
What revival's all about this is what?
-
Revival's all about Amen and I'm just excited about what the Lord
-
is. Doing and what the Lord.
-
Is going to continue to do not just through the week, but what
-
he's going to continue to do tonight.
-
I believe the Lord is going to do great things in this house.
-
Amen. If you have your Bibles, I will
-
go quickly to 2nd Corinthians chapter #10 and I will read
-
verses 3 through 6. And there are a lot of times
-
when evangelists go in to preach, people say, oh, you
-
already know what you're going to preach before you get there.
-
Sometimes that's true and sometimes it's not true.
-
And in fact, it was during the service this morning that I felt
-
direction for the service tonight.
-
And I feel a confirmation of the Holy Ghost in this house.
-
The Lord's going to help some of us.
-
He's going to help all of us if we'll let him.
-
Amen. I give honor to brother and
-
Sister McGee again. Love and appreciate them and
-
give them honor tonight. Give honor to your Bishop and
-
his wife as well. And for all of you for being in
-
the House of the Lord. And thank you for the invitation
-
and for the room and the gift basket for the toy trucks and
-
football. Amen.
-
It's just good to be here. Second Corinthians chapter #10
-
and verse #3 through verse number six says for though we
-
walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh.
-
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through
-
God to the pulling. Down of.
-
Strongholds. Everybody say strongholds,
-
casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth
-
itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
-
every thought to the obedience of Christ, and having a
-
readiness or having any readiness to revenge all
-
disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
-
Though we walk after the. Flesh we do not war after the
-
flesh. Bible says that we cast down
-
imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself
-
against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every
-
thought to the obedience of Christ.
-
My title tonight is 2 very simple words I want to preach to
-
you tonight on this subject. Fictional Kingdom.
-
Fictional Kingdom. How many wants to move with the
-
Holy Ghost in this house tonight?
-
Amen. Why don't we one more time lift
-
our hands before we're seated? And as our hands are lifted, why
-
don't we once again join our voices together?
-
Let's open up our. Hearts and our spirits for the
-
next few moments where the word have recourse.
-
Lord, let there be liberty and the Holy Ghost in this room.
-
I bind every work of the enemy right now, every spirit of
-
distraction. Confirm your word with signs
-
following, Confirm your word with signs following in Jesus
-
name. And why don't you give the Lord
-
another great handclap of praise all over the house, and you may
-
be seated. Thank you for standing Kingdom.
-
It is a term that was first used in the 1700s by the Swedish
-
botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician Karl Linnaeus.
-
Linnaeus's claim to fame was that he was the first individual
-
who formalized the binomial nomenclature, or the modern
-
system of naming organisms. And while most scientists today
-
believe that there are at least 5.
-
Kingdoms some. Argue that there's even 6.
-
Carleneus was the first scientist who said that there
-
were two kingdoms, an animal Kingdom and a plant Kingdom.
-
The good news is I haven't come to bore you with a biology
-
lesson on a Sunday night revival service.
-
But my task in this room is going to go beyond the physical,
-
tangible Kingdom. The you and I are a.
-
Part of because I've come. To remind us.
-
That we all are or we also have two other.
-
Kingdoms that are very much at play in the present hour that we
-
live in. You see the two kingdoms that
-
I've come to talk. About goes beyond that fleshly
-
animal Kingdom that you and I belong to, because they are.
-
Kingdoms that deal with spiritual.
-
Matters, and even though they are.
-
Spiritual. Kingdoms they are just as.
-
Real as the kingdoms, we learned.
-
About in a science class, you see there is an.
-
Animal Kingdom and there. Is a plant Kingdom.
-
And there are at. Least three to four other.
-
Kingdoms depending on who you. Ask but I've.
-
Come to remind everybody in this room that we as the church are
-
an integral part, and when Speaking of God's Kingdom, the
-
Bible has many things to say about.
-
It Psalm one O 3 and 19. Declares that the Lord hath
-
prepared his throne in the. Heavens and His Kingdom.
-
Ruleth over all, Daniel 244 says, and in the days of these.
-
Kings. Shall the God of heaven set up a
-
Kingdom which shall never be destroyed?
-
And the Kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it
-
shall. Break in pieces and consume.
-
All of these kingdoms and it shall stand.
-
Forever, Matthew. Chapter 16.
Matthew 16 chapter mention
-
The Lord says to Peter, Upon this rock I will build my
-
church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it,
-
and I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of.
-
Heaven and. Whatsoever thou shalt bound on
-
earth shall be. Bound in heaven and.
-
Whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
-
Matthew 24 says in this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be.
-
Preached in all the. World for a witness unto all
-
nations. And Luke chapter 1 says, Behold,
Luke 1 chapter mention
-
thou shalt. Conceive in thy womb.
-
And bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus, and he shall
-
reign over the House of Jacob Forever.
-
And of his Kingdom there shall be no end.
-
Ladies and gentlemen, can I remind you that God has a
-
Kingdom? And since the moment he
-
established His Kingdom, there has been nothing like it.
-
Because it is a supernatural Kingdom.
-
It is a Kingdom of power, dominion, and authority.
-
You see, God's Kingdom is His still exercised in earth as it
-
is in heaven. You see, in God's Kingdom there
-
is forgiveness of sins. In God's Kingdom there is
-
newness of life. In God's Kingdom there are
-
miracles, signs and wonders. There is deliverance and
-
spiritual breakthroughs. This is why when Jesus announced
-
the good news of the Kingdom, sin and sickness, demons,
-
poverty and death could not remain, because there is nothing
-
like the Kingdom of God and there is nothing like being a
-
part of the Kingdom of God. Can I tell this congregation you
-
are a part of something that will never be conquered?
-
You are a part of something that will never be destroyed.
-
We are a part of the Kingdom that has no end.
-
But honesty demands me to tell this congregation that while God
-
has a Kingdom, Satan also has a Kingdom.
-
I need you to understand this as we go into the heart of the
-
sermon. Satan has a Kingdom.
-
This is why Matthew chapter 12 says Jesus knew their thoughts
Matthew 12 chapter mention
-
and said unto them, Every Kingdom divided against itself
-
is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided
-
against itself shall not stand. And if Satan cast out Satan, he
-
is divided, How shall then his Kingdom stand?
-
You see, the Bible not only sheds light on God's Kingdom,
-
but it also sheds light on Satan's Kingdom because in Luke
Luke 4 chapter mention
-
chapter 4, it tells us that Satan's Kingdom influences the
-
kingdoms of this world. In Ephesians chapters 2 and six,
Ephesians 2 chapter mention
-
his Kingdom operates in the atmospheric heavens, and in
-
Colossians chapter 1, his Kingdom is a Kingdom of
Colossians 1 chapter mention
-
darkness. And when you begin to look at
-
Satan's Kingdom, you understand that it is diametrically opposed
-
to God's Kingdom. You see, God's Kingdom is a
-
Kingdom of light, but Satan's Kingdom is a Kingdom of
-
darkness. God's Kingdom is a Kingdom of
-
holiness and righteousness, but Satan's is sin and
-
unrighteousness. God has a Kingdom that is built
-
on truth, but Satan's is built on deception.
-
In God's Kingdom there's healing and health, but in Satan's
-
there's sickness and death. In God's Kingdom there is joy,
-
unspeakable and full of glory, but in Satan's Kingdom there is
-
sorrow, anxiety, and discouragement.
-
Everything in Satan's Kingdom is a direct attack and completely
-
counters everything that God has established in his Satan has a
-
throne. He has doctrines and men that
-
willingly preach it. He has a table of communion.
-
He has people that sacrifice on his altar.
-
He has the ability to pose as an Angel of light.
-
He also has the ability to perform counterfeit miracles,
-
signs, and wonders. He has false apostles and false
-
prophets and false teachers. There's even a city called
-
Mystery Babylon that opposes New Jerusalem.
-
He has a harlot church that opposes the bride of Christ.
-
I've come to remind everybody in this room that Satan, the very
-
entity we battle with, has a Kingdom.
-
And because he has a Kingdom, that means he has power.
-
I can say Satan has power because you cannot have a
-
Kingdom without having power. This is why Ephesians teaches us
-
that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
-
principalities and powers. And Satan's going to use that
-
power whenever he finds an opportunity.
-
I've come to tell you that he's going to use that power to
-
attack our churches. He's going to use that power to
-
attack our homes, our marriages, and our families.
-
He's going to, he's going to do his best to trouble our hearts,
-
vex our minds, and oppress our spirit.
-
God has a Kingdom, but Satan also has a Kingdom.
-
He has a Kingdom. He has power.
-
But I've got good news to tell you on a Sunday night, and that
-
is if you've been to Calvary, if you've repented of your sins,
-
been baptized in Jesus name and received the gift of the Holy
-
Ghost, if you've been born of the water and of the Spirit,
-
Satan no longer has power over you.
-
This is why Colossians teaches us that when Jesus went to the
-
cross, he spoiled principalities and powers.
-
He stripped tail of all of its power.
-
He stripped the enemy of all of his authority.
-
And if we've obeyed the gospel, his power and authority has been
-
stripped away over our life. Jesus tells us that when a
-
stronger one than he is going to come and overcomes him, he's
-
going to take away his armor, those things he trusted in, and
-
divides his spoils. You know who Jesus is talking
-
about? He's talking about himself, he
-
said. Because when I go to Calvary,
-
when I die on the cross, I'm going to strip hell.
-
I'm going to strip the enemy of all of his power.
-
Thank God the stronger man came. Thank God he spoiled
-
principalities and powers. So if Satan no longer has power
-
over us, why is it that I still see individuals, individuals who
-
have obeyed the Gospel, still living under the power of hell?
-
How is it that Satan still has power over people?
-
Not just power against them, but power over them?
-
See, it's one thing to have power against somebody.
-
It's something entirely different to have power over
-
somebody. So where does Satan get his
-
power over us from? I've come with the answer.
-
He gets His power over us from us.
-
You see, men and women, humanity is composed of body, soul, and
-
spirit. If you're filled with the Holy
-
Ghost, he cannot touch your spirit.
-
And because of this, he's going to attack your body and soul in
-
order to get to your spirit. But I have not come to preach
-
about the attack on the body, But my focus in this room is the
-
attack on the soul, because soul throughout the Scripture is
-
often translated to mean the mind.
-
There is a battle for the spirit of every man and woman in this
-
room. There is a battle for the body
-
of every man and woman in this room.
-
But Brother McGee, I've come to learn that the greatest battle
-
anybody will fight is the battle of the soul.
-
It is the battle of the mind. The book of Daniel prophecies
-
this very thing. Daniel said there's a day coming
-
when the Antichrist will change the times, seasons and wear out
-
the Saints. Can I tell you he's changing the
-
times and he's changing the seasons, but he's also wearing
-
out the Saints because that phrase, wear out the Saints
-
means to cause mental anguish or to attack somebody in their
-
mind. Then can I tell you that Paul
-
already told us that the spirit of Antichrist is already at
-
work. He's already attacking us.
-
He's already causing mental anguish.
-
There may be people in this room who's in a spiritual struggle.
-
There may be people in this room who's in a physical struggle,
-
but I've come to preach the people in in this room who finds
-
themselves in the midst of a mental struggle.
-
You see, there's three sources of thought.
-
We get our thoughts from one of three places ourselves, from God
-
or from Satan, and it's imperative that we are able to
-
discern the origin of every thought we have.
-
This is why you can't believe everything you think.
-
Because everything you think doesn't come from you, and it
-
doesn't come from God. This is why Paul says in our
-
text that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but
-
mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.
-
First of all, we must understand what a stronghold is.
-
That word stronghold comes from the Greek word which means a
-
fortress or a castle. Secondly, we we must know where
-
the stronghold is. We've got to know where the
-
castles are being built. This is why on the next verse,
-
Paul says that you've got to cast down imaginations and every
-
high thing you've got to bring into captivity every thought.
-
You've got to understand that Paul is rotting about a
-
stronghold and he tells us what it is, and he tells us, tell us
-
where it is. He said the enemy has a
-
stronghold. He's built a castle, that's what
-
it is. But then he tells us where it
-
is. He said the enemy desires to
-
build a stronghold. He wants to build a castle.
-
In the minds of every individual, that word stronghold
-
is a unique word in the Greek language.
-
It comes from the word archeroma.
-
In fact, it's one of the oldest New Testament words, and it was
-
originally used to describe a fortress or a castle.
-
You see, because ancient castles have thick, high, impregnable
-
walls that were designed to keep outsiders from scaling the walls
-
or breaking in. Those walls were intended to
-
keep the enemy outside. That was the original meaning of
-
the word archeroma. But as time begins to pass, the
-
word strongholder Orcheroma also became known as the same were
-
used to describe a prison. You see, since prisons are
-
highly guarded and very secure, they under we understand that
-
prisons are used to keep insiders from getting out.
-
So you've got to get this because Paul is wanting us to
-
understand that castles are built to keep outsiders from
-
getting in, but prisons are built to keep insiders from
-
getting out. God, he can put good godly
-
thoughts in our mind, and from those thoughts he can build a
-
castle that keeps the enemy from getting in.
-
But the devil also complain of thought in our mind, and from
-
those thoughts he can build a prison that keeps us from
-
getting out. It's possible to be a prisoner
-
of your own mind. I've often had people ask the
-
question, why does the enemy attack our minds the way he
-
does? Although it's difficult to
-
determine the exact number, scientists estimate that we as
-
humans have between 12,000 to 70,000 faults a day.
-
We experience the present, the here and now in three second
-
chunks, and while it may only last three seconds, during these
-
three second thoughts, different pathways were formed as we
-
think, and this 3 second thought will become the catalyst of how
-
we feel in that moment. The evolving science of
-
neuroplasticity shows that parts of our brain light up in
-
response to different stimuli or how we feel.
-
That's why in a matter of moments, we can go from feeling
-
happy to sad. And it's all because of a three
-
second fault in our brain. And that three second fault can
-
drastically affect the rest of our day, our week, the month,
-
years, or even a lifetime. I'm convinced that's why the
-
enemy attacks the mind because he understands that if I can
-
plant a fault in somebody's mind and if they don't cast that
-
thought down, it will ultimately affect their outlook and their
-
emotions. And all it takes is 3 seconds.
-
And if I don't cast the thought down, it is in that moment that
-
Satan begins to build a castle. It is in that moment that Satan
-
begins to establish his Kingdom. See, when we think of Satan
-
building kingdoms, we think of Satan established the
-
strongholds. We often think of cities or
-
territories, don't we? We can look at certain cities in
-
America and realize that there are certain strongholds in that
-
region. Some are controlled by sexual
-
strongholds, others are controlled by strongholds of
-
abuse and murder. Some are controlled by spirits
-
of indifference. They are religious spirits, and
-
the list goes on and on. But I've come to inform you that
-
there is another stronghold. There is another castle we
-
hardly speak of, and it's the stronghold.
-
It is the castle that hell is built in our minds.
-
You see, I haven't come to preach about the stronghold in
-
this city, but I've come to preach about the stronghold that
-
Paul warned us about. I've come to preach about the
-
castle that hell is built in our minds.
-
And all it took was a three second thought.
-
The greatest piece of real estate Satan can control is not
-
a city or a territory. The greatest piece of real
-
estate the enemy can control is our mind, because he understands
-
that if I can control your mind, I'll control your emotions, and
-
if I control your emotions, I can control your actions.
-
Boy, I feel my Holy Ghost. Now, how many of us are being
-
demonically tormented? See, we have trouble with that
-
statement, don't we? Because when we think of people
-
being tormented demonically, we think about those in the Bible
-
growling and breaking chains and gnashing teeth and eating
-
chickens. But can I tell you, not all
-
demonic torment is visible. Not all demonic torment is
-
public for everybody to see. We struggle with that because in
-
the Bible it's very public. It's very, in fact, if you were
-
demon possessing the Bible, the entire seating you.
-
That's why Legion is chained up in the graveyard because they
-
can't do anything with him. So let's just chain him up.
-
Let's put him in a remote area and hopefully he'll leave
-
everybody alone. Ladies and gentlemen, if you
-
were possessed or tormented by the enemy in the Bible,
-
everybody knew it. But doesn't it seem odd though
-
we don't have a lot of those encounters anymore.
-
I remember growing up and I think I'm in a church that knows
-
what I'm talking about right now, Brother McGee.
-
I remember growing up when people came in under the
-
influence of a unclean spirit to we got the kids out of the
-
building. In fact, I remember sinners got
-
out because they realize I'm not right and I better get out of
-
here. I remember those open
-
manifestations. I remember those public displays
-
of demonic oppression. But isn't it amazing that we
-
don't see it much anymore? I begin to think about that some
-
time ago, and I believe that. Strategy of hell has changed.
-
Because he wants to be harder to identify.
-
That's why Colossians teaches us that Satan's Kingdom is a
-
Kingdom of darkness, which means he operates outside of light.
-
He's a serpent. He doesn't want to be exposed.
-
He operates in the darkness. He operates in the shadows.
-
And so I've come to learn that Satan doesn't want to make a
-
scene out of our life as much as he just wants to stop our life
-
then humiliate us in public because his main priority is to
-
stop us. And he stops us by putting a
-
three second thought in our mind.
-
And slowly but surely over time he begins to build a castle.
-
Because the spiritual battleground of this generation
-
is the mind. That's why Paul told us in
-
Second Corinthians that I am afraid that as the serpent
-
deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds rising and demonic
-
thoughts are the most private form of oppression anybody can
-
have. Because we may not be breaking
-
chains, we may not be rolling in the floor, we may not be foaming
-
at the mouth, but he can torment us because he planted a thought
-
in our mind. And because of that one three
-
second thought, he begins to build a Kingdom.
-
He begins to exercise power and authority, and nobody else may
-
see it, nobody else may be aware of it, and it's because Satan
-
has shifted his strategy. If I can put just one thought in
-
somebody's mind and they don't handle it properly, I can
-
exploit every area of their life.
-
And now he has power over us because he's built a Kingdom.
-
In our mind. I'm talking about thoughts of
-
fear, thoughts of anxiety, thoughts of worry, thoughts of
-
comparison, thoughts of low self esteem, insecurity,
-
hopelessness, depression, self hatred, shame.
-
I don't feel worthy, thoughts like my prayers will never be
-
answered, or thoughts like I'll never come out of this, or
-
thoughts like I'll never be healed.
-
Or thoughts like I should just quit the church.
-
Thoughts like I should divorce my spouse.
-
I should just quit the ministry. All it takes is a three second
-
window and if it's not cast down, he's going to build his
-
Kingdom and use his power over us and we will live our life
-
believing it. I, unchallenged, will eventually
-
become the truth. See, castles are not built at
-
once. Strongholds are not built at
-
once, but they're built 1 brick at a time, one day at a time.
-
And can I tell you, Satan doesn't build his Kingdom in our
-
mind all at once, But brick by brick, lie by lie, deception by
-
deception, he begins to build it.
-
And even though we know what he's telling us is a lie, a lie
-
unchallenged will eventually become the truth.
-
Why do you think? Solomon says.
-
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
-
That word thinketh is the word that means a gatekeeper.
-
Because whatever or however you think determines what has access
-
in your life. How you see yourself and what
-
you think of yourself and how you even talk about yourself is
-
eventually what you're going to become.
-
Because as a man thinketh, he's going to open up his heart and
-
he's going to give access to God or he's going to give access to
-
the enemy. I've come compelled by the Holy
-
Ghost to preach the people in this room.
-
I feel my Holy Ghost now. I've come to preach the people
-
in this room and I'm talking to people that hell has told you
-
lies. Hell is shown as deception.
-
But I've come to tell everybody in this room.
-
I don't know what Hell's been telling some of you, but I'm
-
rising tonight on a Sunday night to inform you that everything
-
the devil has told you is a lie. The Kingdom that Satan has
-
built, the Kingdom that Satan is trying to build in some of your
-
minds, is fiction. It is often asked, what is the
-
difference between fiction and non fiction?
-
To put it as plainly as I can, fiction is based on imagination,
-
but non fiction is based on facts and reality.
-
And for that reason alone, I can boldly declare to this
-
congregation that everything hell has told you is a lie.
-
Those thoughts he's put in your mind, it's not based on facts.
-
It's not based on reality. He's building a Kingdom.
-
I wish somebody would get a hold of this right now.
-
I've come to expose the enemy. I've come to call the devil what
-
he is. He's a liar.
-
He's a liar. I've come to tear down the
-
facade. I've come to pull back the
-
curtain and remind you of what the devil is.
-
He's a liar and everything that comes from him.
-
I didn't come to play games tonight.
-
I've come to preach a prophetic word in this house and tell you
-
you can't believe everything you think because every thought's
-
not yours and every thought doesn't come from God.
-
Satan has a Kingdom because the Bible talks about it.
-
He has a Kingdom in the earth, is very much real, but the
-
Kingdom in your mind is not real.
-
It's a fictional Kingdom. You've got to remember that
-
there's three sources of thought from God, ourselves, and the
-
devil. And when the devil plants a
-
thought, you've just got to remind yourself everything that
-
comes from hell is a lie. Because he's not just a liar, He
-
is the father of all lies. Lies originate with him.
-
That's why Jesus looked at the Pharisees one day and he said,
-
you remind me of your father, the devil.
-
He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in
-
truth. When he speaks a liar, he speaks
-
of his own because he is a liar and the Father of all eyes.
-
I've come to sound an alarm in this house and tell you it's
-
time to cast down those thoughts.
-
It's time to take dominion over every lie of the enemy.
-
He's told some of you. You're not good enough.
-
Long enough. He's trying to convince some of
-
you that God doesn't love you. He's trying to tell others he'll
-
never forgive you. He's trying to tell some of us
-
you'll never recover and you'll never be used and you can't go
-
to heaven and your family won't be saved and your body won't be
-
healed and God won't give you a miracle.
-
I rebuke that lie in this house. I rebuke that lie in Jesus name.
-
Name. I wish I had about 10 people
-
that got a hold of what the Holy Ghost is trying to say right
-
now. There's victory in the house,
-
there's victory in the house. You've got to take the thought
-
and cast it down. I'm talking about a lie that
-
says the church doesn't care about you.
-
I'm talking about a lie that says nobody loves you.
-
You're better off the enemy. He's a liar.
-
You're not a loser. You're not a failure.
-
You're not worthless. You're not.
-
Listen, you've got to cast it down.
-
You've got to pull down the Kingdom.
-
Why do you think people live in such oppression and such
-
depression all their life? It's because they bought into
-
the lie of the enemy. Well, Mama was like.
-
This. I'll be like this.
-
Well, Grand Mama was like this. I'll be like this.
-
I've come to tell you there is a Kingdom in the shroom that has
-
to be brought down, and I feel just like the walls of Jericho
-
begin to fall. There's some walls of the enemy
-
that he's built up. It's about to fall in this house
-
because you're about to realize he's a liar.
-
Everything that comes from him is not true.
-
You've just got to choose which Kingdom is going to stand and
-
which Kingdom is going to fall. Why do you think the Bible has
-
so much to say about the mind? Thou will keep him in perfect
-
peace. His mind, He stayed on thee.
-
Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the
-
renewing of your mind. Finally, brethren, whatsoever
-
things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
-
things are just pure lovely of good report.
-
If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think all of
-
these things. I'll tell you what you need to
-
think about. You need to think about things
-
that are true. You need to think about things
-
that are honest. You need to think about those
-
things that are pure and lovely. And there's just going to be
-
times that we've all got to remind ourself that I am a child
-
of God and God does love me and He does love me enough to give
-
me His Spirit. And He does have a plan for my
-
life. And I do fit into the church.
-
And I am more than a conqueror and I am an overcomer.
-
I'm going to be the head and not the tail.
-
I'm going to be above and not beneath.
-
He's going to bless my going out and my coming in.
-
If it's true, that's what you've got to think on, because if you
-
change the way you think, you'll change the way you talk.
-
Stop thinking and dwell on what the.
-
Enemy's told you. And it's time to start walking
-
and believe in what God says about you.
-
For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the
-
Lord. Thoughts of peace and not of
-
evil, to give you an expected end.
-
I know the thoughts that I have towards you.
-
I say it's time that we If God has good thoughts toward us,
-
it's time for me to have good thoughts toward myself, He said.
-
I want to give you an expected end.
-
God says everything's going to be all right, and at some point
-
I've got to believe it for myself.
-
If God has an expected end for me, I want to be a part of it.
-
I just have to tear down the Kingdom.
-
That the enemy is built. Do you think if the devil could
-
have really done what he. Told job he was going to do, he
-
would have just. Done it.
-
Here's the thing about the story of Job the Devil gave him.
-
I'm talking to somebody right now.
-
The enemy's told you, you're not going to pull through the enemy.
-
You're not going to be saved. If that was true, he would just
-
do it. I wish somebody in this room
-
right now, I wish there was about 10 others that believed
-
it. Everything he's telling you is a
-
lie. If he could have killed you, he
-
would have already done it. If he was going to destroy you,
-
he would have already done it. Come on, I feel the holy you're
-
trying to get in this house right now.
-
I wish somebody would tear it down and say I believe the lie
-
long enough. I bought into the lie long
-
enough. If he could have done it, he
-
would have already done it. Somebody ought to lift your
-
voice and say, my family's coming out of this.
-
Somebody ought to lift your voice and say, I'm not going to
-
live like this another day. If hell could have killed me, he
-
would have already done it. But if he says I'm not going to
-
make it, it's a lie. I've come to rebuke that lie
-
that says you can't have revival.
-
I've come to rebuke that lie that says you can't have a
-
harvest. I've come to rebuke that lie
-
that says the church can't grow everything that comes from the
-
enemy. Come on.
-
Those about 5 of you ought to step out right now.
-
You ought to come out of your seats and say the lie.
-
Stop now. The kingdom's being torn down
-
now. Come on every how things got to
-
come down. You've got to cast down every
-
imagination. You've got to pull down the
-
stronghold. You've got to pull down
-
everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
-
I'm done preaching. If you're tired of the enemy
-
lying, if you're tired of the lies, it's time to step out.
-
Right now by faith and say it's going to come down today.
-
Come on, I know there's more than just two or three because I
-
know the thoughts I have towards you, saith the Lord.
-
Thoughts of peace and not of evil.
-
It's time to look at our self the way God looks at us.
-
It's time to see ourself the way God sees us.
-
Come on, don't resist what the Holy Ghost
-
trying to do right now. Don't resist what the Holy Ghost
-
is trying to do. It's time to let the Holy Ghost
-
come in this room. It's time to let the Spirit of
-
God tear down every wall, tear down every lie, and tear down
-
every spirit of deception. Come on, there's some.
-
Young people in this house, you need to tune out what the
-
enemy's been trying to tell you. You need to turn a deaf ear to
-
everything. Hail's trying to whisper in your
-
ear, telling you you're not worthless, telling you you might
-
as well just quit the church, tell you there's no future in
-
living for God. You need to turn a deaf ear to
-
it now. Hikata La La Bo Yoko shota.
-
I. This is what we're going to do.
-
They're. About to sing whatever they feel
-
to do. Brother McGee, he takes 39
-
stripes for our healing. He sheds blood for the body, and
-
then he sheds blood on Calvary for our spirit.
-
But. Can I tell you he shed blood 1/3
-
time? It's when a crown of thorns was
-
pushed down in his brow. It's almost like the Lord.
-
Says I'm not leaving this. Earth until I shed blood for the
-
body, the spirit, and your mind how many times do we plead the
-
blood for God to heal us because the.
-
Healing's in the Atonement. He shed blood for you to be
-
healed, but he also shed blood for us to be saved at Calvary.
-
But I'm telling. You he also shed blood so we
-
could have victory. Over our mind.
-
Back Why do you think Golgotha means the?
-
Place of the skull. If you looked out at Jeremiah's
-
grotto, it literally looked like a skull.
-
Because of all the caves and everything that had been
-
excavated out of that hill. Well, Brother McGee, what's
-
amazing to me is that when you looked at Calvary's heel and saw
-
that skull, there was a cross. Right in the middle of it.
-
Because he. Said I'm going to shed blood.
-
For every. Aspect of your life I.
-
Wonder right now if we all could just put our hands on our head.
-
They're about to sing, do whatever they feel to do.
-
But I think we ought to take dominion.
-
Right now, over our thoughts, we ought to take dominion over
-
every thought. That comes into our mind.
