Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - The Unseen Battle | May 13, 2026

She. you
00:00:00.300 --> 00:00:03.700
Need jesus to cover everything in your life
00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:07.304
Your marriage, your mind,
00:00:07.871 --> 00:00:10.074
Your family, your children, your house.
00:00:10.074 --> 00:00:12.743
The blood of jesus should cover everything in your life.
00:00:12.743 --> 00:00:16.380
Satan can't stop what god is doing
00:00:16.380 --> 00:00:20.317
Because eventually, according to this prophetic message,
00:00:21.452 --> 00:00:24.555
Eventually jesus is coming back
00:00:24.555 --> 00:00:28.192
To crush the head of the serpent once and for all
00:00:28.192 --> 00:00:31.695
And throw them in hell. we.
00:00:31.695 --> 00:00:38.602
That was cute.
00:00:38.936 --> 00:00:39.636
Okay.
00:00:39.636 --> 00:00:42.506
All right.
00:00:42.506 --> 00:00:43.040
Let's all say amen.
00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:44.108
Like god.
00:00:44.108 --> 00:00:44.842
God is so good. amen. amen.
00:00:44.842 --> 00:00:47.144
And so salvation is available to everyone today.
00:00:47.144 --> 00:00:51.615
Everyone today.
00:00:51.615 --> 00:00:52.316
All right.
00:00:52.316 --> 00:00:53.383
Now let's take a turn and go to my second point.
00:00:53.383 --> 00:00:55.619
All right.
00:00:55.619 --> 00:00:56.320
The christmas war and heaven.
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.022
Christmas. war in heaven.
00:00:59.022 --> 00:01:00.691
What is the spiritual warfare that took place?
00:01:00.691 --> 00:01:02.426
This is when you can turn to revelation chapter 12.
00:01:02.426 --> 00:01:05.129
Revelation chapter 12.
00:01:05.129 --> 00:01:06.630
And john again is given us this,
00:01:07.264 --> 00:01:09.867
This vision
00:01:09.867 --> 00:01:10.767
Of what happened in the spiritual realm,
00:01:10.767 --> 00:01:12.903
What happened in the kingdom of heaven?
00:01:12.903 --> 00:01:14.771
What happened for this
00:01:14.771 --> 00:01:16.373
All holy night to even be possible, right?
00:01:16.373 --> 00:01:19.343
And so let's read it and i'll break it down as we go.
00:01:19.343 --> 00:01:21.445
Revelation 12, verses one through five.
00:01:21.445 --> 00:01:24.548
Now states this john said, then i witnessed in heaven
00:01:25.616 --> 00:01:29.253
An event of great significance.
00:01:29.253 --> 00:01:32.456
Now, now underline this. okay.
00:01:33.056 --> 00:01:35.292
I saw a woman clothed with the sun,
00:01:35.292 --> 00:01:38.729
With the moon beneath her feet.
00:01:38.729 --> 00:01:41.331
And a crown of 12 stars on her head.
00:01:41.331 --> 00:01:44.368
I'm gonna explain that in a second.
00:01:44.368 --> 00:01:46.403
Now, she was pregnant, though, and she cried out
00:01:46.403 --> 00:01:49.173
Because of her labor pains and the agony of giving birth.
00:01:49.173 --> 00:01:52.976
Then i witnessed in heaven another significant event.
00:01:52.976 --> 00:01:55.579
That's what we read earlier.
00:01:55.579 --> 00:01:56.713
I saw a large red dragon with seven heads, ten horns
00:01:56.713 --> 00:02:00.517
With seven crowns on his heads and its tail swept away.
00:02:00.517 --> 00:02:04.521
One third of the stars and the sky.
00:02:04.521 --> 00:02:07.624
And he threw them to the earth.
00:02:07.624 --> 00:02:09.626
And he stood in front of the woman as she was
00:02:09.626 --> 00:02:12.896
About to give birth, ready to devour her baby
00:02:12.896 --> 00:02:16.133
As soon as it was born.
00:02:16.133 --> 00:02:17.901
But god had a plan,
00:02:17.901 --> 00:02:19.236
Okay, because she still gave birth to a son
00:02:20.170 --> 00:02:23.106
Who was to rule all the nations with an iron rod.
00:02:23.106 --> 00:02:26.710
And her child was snatched away from the dragon
00:02:26.710 --> 00:02:29.112
And was caught up to god and to his throne.
00:02:29.112 --> 00:02:31.648
So again, let's look at the context here.
00:02:31.648 --> 00:02:33.584
A woman in labor,
00:02:33.584 --> 00:02:34.918
A dragon waiting to devour the child, and a war in heaven.
00:02:34.918 --> 00:02:38.889
This is not the christmas card you would expect
00:02:38.889 --> 00:02:41.825
To buy from target, or to send somebody else,
00:02:41.825 --> 00:02:44.761
But it's actually what happened.
00:02:44.761 --> 00:02:46.763
And john saw the spiritual battle behind it all.
00:02:46.763 --> 00:02:49.800
So what did he see?
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.835
I'm going to explain it, by each verse.
00:02:51.835 --> 00:02:54.204
Okay. what did you see?
00:02:54.204 --> 00:02:55.539
And we'll break it down.
00:02:55.539 --> 00:02:57.908
The first thing. okay.
00:02:57.908 --> 00:02:58.942
Don't don't show this. the woman
00:02:58.942 --> 00:03:01.945
Don't show it.
00:03:02.279 --> 00:03:03.380
Who do you think the woman is?
00:03:03.380 --> 00:03:06.149
When we hear this,
00:03:06.149 --> 00:03:07.384
Most of us would think the woman is mary,
00:03:07.384 --> 00:03:10.821
Because that would make sense.
00:03:10.821 --> 00:03:11.888
Of course, she is the virgin mother of jesus christ.
00:03:11.888 --> 00:03:14.958
He's.
00:03:14.958 --> 00:03:16.093
She's whom god chose, conceived by the holy spirit.
00:03:16.093 --> 00:03:18.161
I can see y'all whispering right now.
00:03:18.161 --> 00:03:19.062
You're really thinking about this. okay?
00:03:19.062 --> 00:03:21.031
But it's not mary.
00:03:21.031 --> 00:03:22.566
Go ahead and show it.
00:03:22.566 --> 00:03:23.934
The woman is actually
00:03:23.934 --> 00:03:26.236
The nation of israel.
00:03:26.236 --> 00:03:28.672
Some of y'all were really wrong on that.
00:03:28.672 --> 00:03:30.274
It's okay.
00:03:30.274 --> 00:03:31.575
But the woman is actually the nation of israel.
00:03:31.575 --> 00:03:33.844
How do we know this?
00:03:33.844 --> 00:03:34.945
Let's look at the description again.
00:03:34.945 --> 00:03:36.880
Revelation chapter 12, verse one.
00:03:36.880 --> 00:03:38.782
The woman was clothed with the sun
00:03:38.782 --> 00:03:42.119
And with the moon beneath her feet,
00:03:42.119 --> 00:03:44.288
And a crown of 12 stars on her head.
00:03:44.288 --> 00:03:47.157
This imagery is the same as joseph's dream
00:03:47.157 --> 00:03:51.828
Of what he saw all over his family.
00:03:52.596 --> 00:03:54.798
And this is found in genesis chapter 37, verse nine.
00:03:54.798 --> 00:03:58.602
And here's what it stated.
00:03:59.169 --> 00:04:00.170
Joseph had another dream, and again
00:04:00.170 --> 00:04:02.506
He told his brothers about.
00:04:02.506 --> 00:04:03.407
He said, listen, i've had another dream.
00:04:03.407 --> 00:04:05.008
He said, the sun, the moon
00:04:05.008 --> 00:04:08.612
And the 11 stars bowed low before me.
00:04:08.612 --> 00:04:12.883
This when his brothers get jealous, his dad gets angry.
00:04:12.883 --> 00:04:15.652
What do you mean? we're all going to bow down to you.
00:04:15.652 --> 00:04:17.721
But it represents his family and his father, jacob.
00:04:17.721 --> 00:04:22.159
It's israel. okay.
00:04:22.159 --> 00:04:24.027
This represents the entire nation of israel.
00:04:24.027 --> 00:04:26.063
So the sun is his father.
00:04:26.063 --> 00:04:28.732
The moon represents his mother,
00:04:28.732 --> 00:04:31.268
And the 11 stars represent his brothers.
00:04:31.268 --> 00:04:34.371
Listen to this.
00:04:34.371 --> 00:04:35.439
Pointing prophetically to the 12 tribes of israel,
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.276
The 12 tribes of israel.
00:04:39.810 --> 00:04:43.146
So that's how we know that this woman that john is seeing
00:04:43.146 --> 00:04:46.683
Running for her life is actually the nation of israel.
00:04:46.683 --> 00:04:50.921
Not only that, but, in terms of, a description of a woman
00:04:50.921 --> 00:04:55.192
Running for her life, it's mentioned many times
00:04:55.192 --> 00:04:56.893
As the old testament for israel itself.
00:04:56.893 --> 00:04:59.529
Let me just give you two examples.
00:04:59.529 --> 00:05:01.264
Isaiah chapter 54, verse five,
00:05:01.264 --> 00:05:03.734
For your creator will be your husband.
00:05:03.734 --> 00:05:05.702
Listen to this.
00:05:05.702 --> 00:05:06.837
And the lord of heaven's armies is his name.
00:05:06.837 --> 00:05:09.906
Now in the book of isaiah, chapter two,
00:05:09.906 --> 00:05:11.541
Jose is a very interesting book.
00:05:11.541 --> 00:05:13.443
Like god spoke to a prophet named hosea.
00:05:13.443 --> 00:05:17.080
He says, listen, i want you to go and marry a prostitute.
00:05:17.080 --> 00:05:19.916
God is not telling you to do that.
00:05:20.650 --> 00:05:21.952
I just want to make that clear.
00:05:21.952 --> 00:05:23.720
It was for a specific reason.
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.323
But out of this book, here's what god is
00:05:26.323 --> 00:05:27.758
Trying to let us know.
00:05:27.758 --> 00:05:28.625
He understands heartbreak.
00:05:28.625 --> 00:05:31.762
And so he says, i'm married
00:05:31.762 --> 00:05:32.996
To israel, but israel loves to cheat on me.
00:05:32.996 --> 00:05:36.433
Israel loves to break my heart.
00:05:36.433 --> 00:05:37.901
And they would worship idols
00:05:37.901 --> 00:05:39.569
And they would sacrifice to demons.
00:05:39.569 --> 00:05:41.271
And so he tells moses, let's go and marry a prostitute
00:05:41.271 --> 00:05:44.341
So that we can create this story together
00:05:44.341 --> 00:05:46.176
And let people know what my heart feels like
00:05:46.176 --> 00:05:47.911
When they walk away from me.
00:05:47.911 --> 00:05:49.479
Did you know you can break god's heart?
00:05:49.479 --> 00:05:52.716
Like, did you know that you can actually break god's heart
00:05:52.716 --> 00:05:54.785
When you don't walk with him?
00:05:54.785 --> 00:05:56.052
Because he knows that you're
00:05:56.052 --> 00:05:57.320
Hurting and suffering, but he's got to, again,
00:05:57.320 --> 00:05:59.423
Allow you to have the choice to choose to obey him or not.
00:05:59.423 --> 00:06:02.893
And so in isaiah chapter two, verse 19 and 20,
00:06:03.860 --> 00:06:06.296
It's a really interesting story because again, israel is
00:06:06.296 --> 00:06:10.066
Rebelling against god. but listen to the lord's words.
00:06:10.066 --> 00:06:12.502
I will make you my wife forever
00:06:12.502 --> 00:06:15.739
Showing you righteousness and justice.
00:06:15.739 --> 00:06:18.108
And even though you have turned your backs on me and hurt me
00:06:18.108 --> 00:06:21.244
And hurt my heart, unfailing love and compassion.
00:06:21.244 --> 00:06:25.449
This is god's love for you.
00:06:26.049 --> 00:06:28.051
This is god's mercy for you.
00:06:28.051 --> 00:06:29.586
It's unfailing.
00:06:29.586 --> 00:06:30.921
His compassion is great
00:06:30.921 --> 00:06:32.556
And i will be faithful to you and make you mine.
00:06:32.556 --> 00:06:35.992
And you will finally know me as the lord.
00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:41.198
God doesn't abandon us.
00:06:41.698 --> 00:06:42.899
We abandon god.
00:06:42.899 --> 00:06:45.735
God doesn't break his promises.
00:06:45.735 --> 00:06:47.204
We break our.
00:06:47.204 --> 00:06:49.606
So many times we have chased the wrong things.
00:06:49.606 --> 00:06:52.742
Instead of chasing god.
00:06:53.243 --> 00:06:56.513
And so we see that.
00:06:56.513 --> 00:06:57.214
And i think it's really powerful
00:06:57.214 --> 00:06:58.415
Because this language is seen out of the old testament.
00:06:58.415 --> 00:07:00.817
You want to know why? because god desires
00:07:00.817 --> 00:07:02.152
A relationship with you, not religion.
00:07:02.152 --> 00:07:05.288
That's something religious,
00:07:05.889 --> 00:07:07.023
Not just a checklist of do's and don'ts in your life.
00:07:07.023 --> 00:07:09.593
No, he wants a relationship with you
00:07:09.593 --> 00:07:11.294
So that you know his heart and that you hear his voice.
00:07:11.294 --> 00:07:15.532
And that's what we see here.
00:07:16.132 --> 00:07:17.167
And that's why
00:07:17.167 --> 00:07:18.401
The woman is running for her life is the nation of israel.
00:07:18.401 --> 00:07:21.771
Because again, satan is after the seed.
00:07:21.771 --> 00:07:23.540
Now the second thing is this.
00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:24.608
This one's a little more easier.
00:07:24.608 --> 00:07:25.976
The dragon represents satan.
00:07:25.976 --> 00:07:28.645
Revelation chapter 12, verse three i saw a large
00:07:28.645 --> 00:07:30.714
Red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, with seven crowns
00:07:30.714 --> 00:07:33.950
On his heads, meaning this dragon will have great authority
00:07:33.950 --> 00:07:37.454
To do what?
00:07:37.787 --> 00:07:38.488
To influence governments,
00:07:38.488 --> 00:07:40.657
To influence systems, and to influence entire cultures.
00:07:40.657 --> 00:07:44.895
That's what we're seeing today.
00:07:44.895 --> 00:07:46.930
Ephesians chapter six, verse 12 tells us,
00:07:46.930 --> 00:07:48.632
It's a it's a spiritual fight.
00:07:48.632 --> 00:07:50.767
We need to be praying of our nation
00:07:50.767 --> 00:07:52.669
And other nations in the world,
00:07:52.669 --> 00:07:54.137
Because there are demonic principalities
00:07:54.137 --> 00:07:56.273
That love to rule regions.
00:07:56.273 --> 00:07:58.742
And they're powerful
00:07:59.209 --> 00:08:01.011
And they harm believers and they're coming after us
00:08:01.011 --> 00:08:04.014
Because that's what revelation tells us.
00:08:04.014 --> 00:08:05.949
And it's going to happen in the in days.
00:08:05.949 --> 00:08:08.685
There's going to be one world government.
00:08:08.685 --> 00:08:10.086
And so satan is ruling this.
00:08:10.086 --> 00:08:13.290
So meaning satan doesn't
00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:14.691
Just tempt people, he influences empires.
00:08:14.691 --> 00:08:18.929
But it's been given a few names that are revelation 12.
00:08:18.929 --> 00:08:21.998
Let me explain these in verse nine.
00:08:21.998 --> 00:08:23.800
Look at verse nine real quick.
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.135
It starts off like this.
00:08:25.135 --> 00:08:26.169
The great dragon, the ancient serpent.
00:08:26.169 --> 00:08:30.173
Notice the warning that the ancient serpent is going
00:08:30.173 --> 00:08:32.943
All the way back to genesis chapter three.
00:08:32.943 --> 00:08:37.213
Will we see him with adam and eve?
00:08:37.213 --> 00:08:39.382
Okay, and here's what i want you
00:08:39.382 --> 00:08:41.184
To see this super interesting to me.
00:08:41.184 --> 00:08:44.187
Why does satan seem appealing at times?
00:08:44.187 --> 00:08:46.256
Okay.
00:08:46.256 --> 00:08:47.290
The hebrew
00:08:47.591 --> 00:08:48.592
Word for serpent is actually not harsh, okay?
00:08:48.592 --> 00:08:52.095
It does mean serpent, but it's also connected
00:08:52.095 --> 00:08:55.265
To the words bronze and silver,
00:08:55.265 --> 00:08:59.102
Meaning okay.
00:08:59.469 --> 00:09:01.438
Satan didn't show up looking like a monster
00:09:01.438 --> 00:09:04.874
Or just a scary snake.
00:09:05.342 --> 00:09:07.644
He showed up looking like something beautiful.
00:09:07.644 --> 00:09:10.981
Something that was shimmering, something that was shiny,
00:09:10.981 --> 00:09:14.284
Something that was appealing.
00:09:14.284 --> 00:09:16.186
And that's why he was listening to him
00:09:16.186 --> 00:09:18.955
And looking at the fruit. because the fruit was beautiful.
00:09:18.955 --> 00:09:21.458
He didn't seem that bad.
00:09:21.458 --> 00:09:22.792
And so she compromised based off again what she was,
00:09:22.792 --> 00:09:26.029
What she was looking at.
00:09:26.563 --> 00:09:28.331
And so let me also, we don't have this on the screen,
00:09:28.331 --> 00:09:31.234
But insecure.
00:09:31.234 --> 00:09:32.902
Chapter 28, verses 13 and 14, it says this about satan.
00:09:32.902 --> 00:09:36.406
You were in the eden, the garden of god.
00:09:36.406 --> 00:09:38.541
Every precious stone was your covering.
00:09:38.541 --> 00:09:41.111
The ruby, the topaz, the diamond, the bird barrel,
00:09:41.111 --> 00:09:43.747
The the onyx and the jasper.
00:09:43.747 --> 00:09:45.415
All these things were upon you.
00:09:45.415 --> 00:09:47.917
And the gold in the workmanship
00:09:47.917 --> 00:09:49.552
Of your settings, of your sockets was in you.
00:09:49.552 --> 00:09:51.855
They were prepared on that day that you were created.
00:09:51.855 --> 00:09:55.258
Listen in verse 14.
00:09:55.258 --> 00:09:56.359
You are an anointed cherub who covers and protects.
00:09:56.359 --> 00:09:59.362
And i placed you there, you on the holy mountain of god,
00:09:59.362 --> 00:10:02.666
And walked in the midst of the stones of fire,
00:10:02.666 --> 00:10:05.001
Sparkling jewels.
00:10:05.001 --> 00:10:06.636
He had all beauty.
00:10:06.636 --> 00:10:07.937
In fact, the bible tells us he was so beautiful
00:10:07.937 --> 00:10:10.273
He became prideful.
00:10:10.273 --> 00:10:12.242
He became arrogant because he wanted to be worshiped,
00:10:12.242 --> 00:10:14.911
And he wanted god's throne.
00:10:14.911 --> 00:10:17.681
And i need you to understand that because again, the culture
00:10:18.848 --> 00:10:21.718
Has told us that satan's going to come with like two horns
00:10:21.718 --> 00:10:24.821
And a pitchfork and the truth is,
00:10:24.821 --> 00:10:28.124
Sometimes the darkness doesn't look like darkness.
00:10:28.124 --> 00:10:31.261
Sometimes it looks like the right thing or something
00:10:32.295 --> 00:10:34.264
Good for your life.
00:10:34.264 --> 00:10:35.031
And that's why you need
00:10:35.031 --> 00:10:36.633
Discernment by the holy spirit over what is evil spirits.
00:10:36.633 --> 00:10:39.335
And what is the spirit of god.
00:10:39.335 --> 00:10:42.205
Those are the battles that we fight
00:10:42.205 --> 00:10:44.841
Because this is exactly how satan works today.
00:10:44.841 --> 00:10:47.377
That's why paul said in second corinthians chapter 11 verse
00:10:47.377 --> 00:10:49.946
14 says, satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
00:10:49.946 --> 00:10:53.450
He doesn't entice you with what looks dark.
00:10:54.350 --> 00:10:56.319
He entices you with what looks desirable.
00:10:56.319 --> 00:11:00.056
Okay.
00:11:00.290 --> 00:11:01.491
And the second thing is this he's also called devil or satan.
00:11:01.491 --> 00:11:05.695
No devil here.
00:11:06.029 --> 00:11:07.731
The wording means accuser and satan means the enemy.
00:11:07.731 --> 00:11:12.736
First peter chapter five, verse eight states stay alert.
00:11:12.736 --> 00:11:15.605
Watch out for your great enemy.
00:11:15.605 --> 00:11:17.807
The devil.
00:11:17.807 --> 00:11:18.708
Let me make it clear you have an enemy.
00:11:18.708 --> 00:11:23.179
It doesn't matter how good of a person you are,
00:11:24.180 --> 00:11:27.383
How much you love people, and how much you hate conflict,
00:11:27.383 --> 00:11:31.387
You still have an enemy
00:11:31.888 --> 00:11:33.623
And he's still coming after you and your family.
00:11:33.623 --> 00:11:35.925
He prowls around.
00:11:35.925 --> 00:11:37.193
Listen to this like a roaring lion
00:11:37.193 --> 00:11:39.028
Looking for someone to devour.
00:11:39.028 --> 00:11:41.131
But i also think it's very interesting
00:11:41.131 --> 00:11:43.099
That the wording here stay alert
00:11:43.099 --> 00:11:44.734
Can also be translated stay sober,
00:11:44.734 --> 00:11:47.904
Stay sober minded,
00:11:48.338 --> 00:11:50.940
Because when you're not sober
00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:52.008
Minded, what are you going to give in to
00:11:52.008 --> 00:11:54.511
Temptation?
00:11:54.511 --> 00:11:56.746
When you're not in control of your mind?
00:11:56.746 --> 00:11:58.448
You will always give in to the deception,
00:11:58.448 --> 00:12:00.617
The temptations that are around you. it's not worth it.
00:12:00.617 --> 00:12:05.688
Why do you keep allowing that in your life
00:12:06.556 --> 00:12:09.826
When clearly there's an enemy coming after you?
00:12:09.826 --> 00:12:11.995
Stay alert.
00:12:11.995 --> 00:12:13.930
Revelation chapter 12, verse ten also states it like this.
00:12:13.930 --> 00:12:16.299
For the accuser of our brothers
00:12:16.299 --> 00:12:17.534
And sisters has been thrown down to earth. listen to this.
00:12:17.534 --> 00:12:19.869
For the one who accuses him before our god day and night.
00:12:19.869 --> 00:12:25.375
So not only does satan accuse you before god,
00:12:25.375 --> 00:12:28.778
But he also is whispering to you. here's what he does.
00:12:28.778 --> 00:12:30.914
He accuses you before god.
00:12:30.914 --> 00:12:32.048
He whispers in your ear saying, you're not good enough.
00:12:32.048 --> 00:12:34.617
You're never going to change, right?
00:12:34.617 --> 00:12:37.153
You're never gonna get past this sin.
00:12:37.153 --> 00:12:38.421
This addiction is always going
00:12:38.421 --> 00:12:39.455
To be in your life, and god doesn't love you.
00:12:39.455 --> 00:12:41.257
That's what satan says to us.
00:12:41.257 --> 00:12:43.560
That's because he is the accuser.
00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:45.128
But listen to me.
00:12:45.128 --> 00:12:45.728
Please. listen.
00:12:45.728 --> 00:12:46.563
He is accusing you of things
00:12:46.563 --> 00:12:47.997
That god has already forgiven you over.
00:12:47.997 --> 00:12:50.500
God has already freed you and forgiven you.
00:12:51.401 --> 00:12:53.703
And so listen, somebody needs to hear this.
00:12:53.703 --> 00:12:55.471
You need to forgive yourself.
00:12:55.471 --> 00:13:01.077
You need to give it over to god.
00:12:58.741 --> 00:13:02.879
It's not bringing yourself down.
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:04.180
When god has forgiven you and showed you mercy,
00:13:04.180 --> 00:13:08.718
He's the righteous judge.
00:13:09.285 --> 00:13:10.253
You're not.
00:13:10.253 --> 00:13:12.322
And if he's declared you clean,
00:13:12.322 --> 00:13:15.058
Changed,
00:13:15.058 --> 00:13:17.160
Then who are you to stand in his way of that over yourself?
00:13:17.160 --> 00:13:20.597
Be free.
00:13:20.597 --> 00:13:22.832
But the enemy accuses what god has already forgiven.
00:13:22.832 --> 00:13:26.336
Look at this revelation, chapter 12, verse 12.
00:13:26.336 --> 00:13:28.171
Here's why.
00:13:28.171 --> 00:13:29.272
For the devil has come down to you
00:13:29.272 --> 00:13:30.740
In great anger,
00:13:30.740 --> 00:13:31.841
Knowing that here's what he has a little time left.
00:13:31.841 --> 00:13:35.879
The devil time is very short.
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.482
You understand that?
00:13:39.949 --> 00:13:41.050
It's very, very short. and he knows that.
00:13:41.050 --> 00:13:43.186
And so because of that, he hates you and he hates me.
00:13:43.186 --> 00:13:46.089
He hates our family.
00:13:46.089 --> 00:13:47.257
He hates what god is building to us and what god is doing
00:13:47.257 --> 00:13:50.894
Because his time is short.
00:13:51.461 --> 00:13:53.096
He knows where he's going.
00:13:53.663 --> 00:13:55.365
You have heard the saying,
00:13:55.365 --> 00:13:56.266
When the devil reminds you of your past,
00:13:56.266 --> 00:13:58.468
Remind him of his future.
00:13:58.468 --> 00:14:01.404
It's short guys, it's very, very short.
00:14:01.404 --> 00:14:05.308
And so then john goes into this
00:14:05.308 --> 00:14:06.976
And i think this is really powerful.
00:14:06.976 --> 00:14:08.811
Revelation 12 seven through nine,
00:14:08.811 --> 00:14:11.447
He backtracks a little bit or i'm backtracking here.
00:14:11.447 --> 00:14:13.716
He says, there was a war in heaven.
00:14:13.716 --> 00:14:16.419
Okay.
00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:17.553
And michael and his angels fought against the dragon
00:14:17.553 --> 00:14:19.989
And his angels, and the dragon lost the battle
00:14:19.989 --> 00:14:24.994
In your life.
00:14:25.361 --> 00:14:26.930
You hear this?
00:14:26.930 --> 00:14:28.264
The dragon has already lost.
00:14:28.264 --> 00:14:30.500
Satan has already lost.
00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:31.734
You come from victory
00:14:31.734 --> 00:14:33.670
Not because of you, but because of jesus.
00:14:33.670 --> 00:14:35.872
And he and his angels were forced out of heaven.
00:14:35.872 --> 00:14:38.541
And this great dragon, the ancient serpent
00:14:38.541 --> 00:14:40.343
Called the devil, satan, the one deceiving
00:14:40.343 --> 00:14:42.478
The whole world, was thrown down to earth
00:14:42.478 --> 00:14:46.282
With all of his angels like the wwe.
00:14:46.282 --> 00:14:48.785
You just, you know,
00:14:48.785 --> 00:14:50.653
So i, i'm just trying to wake you up, okay, listen to this.
00:14:50.653 --> 00:14:53.356
So luke chapter ten, verse 18. sorry.
00:14:53.356 --> 00:14:56.192
Jesus said, i saw satan
00:14:56.693 --> 00:14:58.328
Fall from heaven like lightning.
00:14:58.328 --> 00:15:01.731
Satan can't come up against god.
00:15:02.365 --> 00:15:05.501
I think sometimes we think they're just like duking it out.
00:15:05.501 --> 00:15:09.172
Like they're both, like all powerful.
00:15:09.172 --> 00:15:10.640
No, no, no, only god is all powerful.
00:15:10.640 --> 00:15:13.776
Satan wishes he could be god and he would never be.
00:15:13.776 --> 00:15:16.980
And so he
00:15:17.280 --> 00:15:18.414
Comes after me and you, and he comes after us with lies,
00:15:18.414 --> 00:15:21.150
Seeds of doubt.
00:15:21.517 --> 00:15:22.552
Did god really say because he wants authority?
00:15:22.552 --> 00:15:25.021
He wants authority.
00:15:25.021 --> 00:15:26.089
But listen, listen, here's the good news, okay?
00:15:26.089 --> 00:15:28.758
Verse 18 jesus said he felt like lightning.
00:15:28.758 --> 00:15:31.260
Verse 19.
00:15:31.260 --> 00:15:31.995
You ready for this?
00:15:31.995 --> 00:15:32.929
Jesus said, but i have given you authority.
00:15:32.929 --> 00:15:36.299
I've given you authority over the power of the enemy.
00:15:36.299 --> 00:15:39.168
And you can walk
00:15:39.168 --> 00:15:40.236
Among snakes and scorpions, and you can crush him,
00:15:40.236 --> 00:15:43.072
Meaning the demonic.
00:15:43.072 --> 00:15:45.174
You can crush
00:15:45.174 --> 00:15:46.376
The demonic principalities that coming after you like fire
00:15:46.376 --> 00:15:49.045
Because of the authority in christ that lives in
00:15:49.045 --> 00:15:50.680
You, nothing will injure you.
00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:54.250
But the
00:15:54.484 --> 00:15:55.451
Truth is, satan led this rebellion in heaven
00:15:55.451 --> 00:15:57.887
Because he wanted god's throne and so he was cast out.
00:15:57.887 --> 00:16:00.089
He didn't stop.
00:16:00.089 --> 00:16:01.891
And now that he's in this world, his his major goal
00:16:01.891 --> 00:16:04.394
Is to convince you and me that god doesn't love us,
00:16:04.394 --> 00:16:07.930
That god can't use us.
00:16:08.398 --> 00:16:11.534
And it's a lie.
00:16:11.901 --> 00:16:14.270
You want to know how it's a lie
00:16:14.270 --> 00:16:17.040
Because of what we're celebrating right now?
00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:20.276
What we're remembering
00:16:20.276 --> 00:16:21.911
Because we serve the god of the impossible.
00:16:21.911 --> 00:16:24.847
And so the last thing i want to show you is this the baby
00:16:24.847 --> 00:16:27.884
At john saul is jesus christ
00:16:27.884 --> 00:16:31.287
Is the birth of god in flesh.
00:16:31.921 --> 00:16:35.191
Revelation 12 four and five.
00:16:35.792 --> 00:16:37.126
Let's look at it again.
00:16:37.126 --> 00:16:38.361
His tail swept away one third of the stars in the sky.
00:16:38.361 --> 00:16:41.164
This means one third of the angels fell was satan.
00:16:41.164 --> 00:16:44.734
That's where we get this from, okay?
00:16:45.501 --> 00:16:46.736
We don't know how many angels fell with him.
00:16:46.736 --> 00:16:49.205
We just know it's one third. okay? but a lot fell.
00:16:49.205 --> 00:16:52.508
God threw them to the earth.
00:16:53.109 --> 00:16:55.078
He stood in front of the woman as he was
00:16:55.078 --> 00:16:56.379
About to give birth, ready to devour her baby,
00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:59.982
And as soon as it was born, she gave birth to a son.
00:16:59.982 --> 00:17:03.486
Notice the contrast here.
00:17:03.486 --> 00:17:04.754
Okay, the enemy is after the baby,
00:17:04.754 --> 00:17:08.391
But she will give birth to a son.
00:17:09.125 --> 00:17:10.793
And he will what?
00:17:10.793 --> 00:17:12.462
He will rule all nations with an iron rod
00:17:12.462 --> 00:17:16.999
And her child was snatched away from the dragon.
00:17:16.999 --> 00:17:19.569
He was protected and was caught up to god and to his throne.
00:17:19.569 --> 00:17:23.973
Now notice the wording here.
00:17:23.973 --> 00:17:25.508
The rod of iron
00:17:25.508 --> 00:17:27.877
Is describing the nature of jesus authority
00:17:27.877 --> 00:17:31.447
In the ancient world.
00:17:31.948 --> 00:17:33.216
When you would fight, listen, would it breaks,
00:17:33.216 --> 00:17:36.853
Clay shatters, bronze would dent.
00:17:36.853 --> 00:17:40.857
But iron was seen as unbreakable.
00:17:40.857 --> 00:17:44.360
Okay, so iron represents the unbreakable power
00:17:44.360 --> 00:17:48.898
That jesus christ has already.
00:17:48.898 --> 00:17:52.168
And when he's coming back.
00:17:52.168 --> 00:17:53.402
But also what you see like this, it means a justice that cannot
00:17:53.402 --> 00:17:56.439
Be corrupted.
00:17:56.439 --> 00:17:59.208
Jesus is perfect in every way,
00:17:59.809 --> 00:18:03.613
And the only person in scripture prophesied
00:18:03.613 --> 00:18:05.548
To rule nations with an iron rod is jesus christ.
00:18:05.548 --> 00:18:08.117
Let me say psalms two, verse eight and nine
00:18:08.117 --> 00:18:11.454
Gives this prophecy.
00:18:11.921 --> 00:18:13.055
I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
00:18:13.055 --> 00:18:16.192
And the whole earth as your possession,
00:18:16.192 --> 00:18:18.561
And you will break them with an iron rod and smash him
00:18:18.561 --> 00:18:22.365
Like clay's.
00:18:22.365 --> 00:18:23.299
A pots are like clay plant pots.
00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:26.636
Now look at this.
00:18:27.069 --> 00:18:28.037
So when you see this revelation, chapter 19,
00:18:28.037 --> 00:18:31.007
Revelation chapter 19, verse 15,
00:18:31.007 --> 00:18:33.776
It's talking about the second coming of jesus christ.
00:18:33.776 --> 00:18:37.013
From his mouth came a sharp sword
00:18:37.013 --> 00:18:41.050
To strike down the nations.
00:18:41.050 --> 00:18:43.119
All jesus has to do was speak.
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.422
Remember last week i told you that
00:18:47.156 --> 00:18:48.624
When jesus speaks by one word, by one command, demons leave.
00:18:48.624 --> 00:18:53.162
Jesus comes back and he speaks.
00:18:53.796 --> 00:18:56.365
And then it says that he will rule them with an iron rod.
00:18:56.365 --> 00:19:01.103
He's going to rule with an iron rod.
00:19:01.904 --> 00:19:04.707
Nobody can stop jesus.
00:19:04.707 --> 00:19:05.875
And again, this is the fulfillment
00:19:05.875 --> 00:19:07.210
Of crushing the head of the serpent.
00:19:07.210 --> 00:19:10.613
And then second is this the child is caught up to god
00:19:10.613 --> 00:19:13.049
And is thrown.
00:19:13.049 --> 00:19:14.217
This is a picture of jesus after he rose from the dead.
00:19:14.217 --> 00:19:16.519
He, he, he rose from the dead.
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:18.421
And then it says that he went up
00:19:18.421 --> 00:19:19.889
Into the kingdom of heaven in acts chapter one verse nine,
00:19:19.889 --> 00:19:23.092
For he was taken up into a cloud while they were watching,
00:19:23.092 --> 00:19:26.028
And they can no longer see him.
00:19:26.028 --> 00:19:30.833
What i really want you to see in the start of this series
00:19:32.001 --> 00:19:35.638
Is how much actually took place
00:19:36.272 --> 00:19:39.742
Before we even get into the physical account
00:19:39.742 --> 00:19:43.512
Of the wise men
00:19:43.879 --> 00:19:46.582
Of the shepherds,
00:19:46.582 --> 00:19:49.051
Of the angels
00:19:49.051 --> 00:19:51.187
Of king herod the great.
00:19:51.187 --> 00:19:54.590
And so when you know the backstory, you know that
00:19:54.590 --> 00:19:56.158
When the angels were in the sky
00:19:56.158 --> 00:19:58.261
Saying, glory to god in the highest,
00:19:58.261 --> 00:20:01.530
They had seen some things
00:20:02.098 --> 00:20:05.268
And witnessed some things.
00:20:05.268 --> 00:20:07.870
There was a battle that most people did not know about.
00:20:07.870 --> 00:20:10.673
It was unseen, but it was there,
00:20:10.673 --> 00:20:13.209
And still there was already victory.
00:20:13.209 --> 00:20:16.145
And so yes,
00:20:16.145 --> 00:20:17.380
Satan tries to come after baby jesus with king herod the great.
00:20:17.380 --> 00:20:20.249
But revelation 12 isn't just giving you a manger
00:20:21.217 --> 00:20:23.519
Scene, it's giving you a mission behind the manger.
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.689
The reason why jesus came.
00:20:26.689 --> 00:20:30.426
He's not just a baby jesus to look cute.
00:20:30.426 --> 00:20:33.496
He's a son of god, the lamb of god
00:20:34.230 --> 00:20:36.132
Who came on a mission to defeat the devil.
00:20:36.132 --> 00:20:39.602
And he came in the most innocent,
00:20:40.369 --> 00:20:43.205
Humble way he could possibly come.
00:20:43.205 --> 00:20:45.908
But first john chapter three, verse eight states it,
00:20:45.908 --> 00:20:47.977
But the son of god came to destroy the works of the devil.
00:20:47.977 --> 00:20:51.681
Everything the devil has brought into your life,
00:20:51.681 --> 00:20:54.216
Everything that he's brought
00:20:54.216 --> 00:20:55.284
Into your mind, in your heart, in your family.
00:20:55.284 --> 00:20:59.088
God is freeing you from it,
00:20:59.689 --> 00:21:01.857
And it's destroying the works of the devil.
00:21:01.857 --> 00:21:04.560
Generational curses done today in jesus name.
00:21:04.560 --> 00:21:08.064
Depression in your mind, done
00:21:08.698 --> 00:21:10.533
Today in the name of jesus.
00:21:10.533 --> 00:21:14.003
And here's how we win the war
00:21:14.003 --> 00:21:16.539
Over the spiritual fight that we face now.
00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:18.674
Okay, in revelation chapter 12, it actually gives us tools
00:21:18.674 --> 00:21:22.211
On how to overcome the enemy ourself.
00:21:22.211 --> 00:21:24.647
I don't want you to miss this.
00:21:24.647 --> 00:21:26.482
Revelation 1210 to 11 again.
00:21:26.482 --> 00:21:28.117
Let's read it.
00:21:28.117 --> 00:21:29.285
Then i heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens,
00:21:29.285 --> 00:21:32.054
It has come at last
00:21:32.054 --> 00:21:33.122
Salvation and power, and the kingdom of our god,
00:21:33.122 --> 00:21:36.025
And the authority of his christ.
00:21:36.025 --> 00:21:37.960
For the accuser of our brothers
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:39.562
And sisters has been thrown down to earth,
00:21:39.562 --> 00:21:41.330
The one who accuses him before our god day and night.
00:21:41.330 --> 00:21:44.033
But here's how they defeated him.
00:21:44.033 --> 00:21:45.468
They defeated him by the the blood of the lamb,
00:21:45.468 --> 00:21:49.238
And by their
00:21:49.572 --> 00:21:50.206
Testimony and they did it
00:21:50.206 --> 00:21:53.542
Not their lives so much.
00:21:53.542 --> 00:21:56.178
They did not love their lives so much
00:21:56.178 --> 00:21:57.847
That they were afraid to die.
00:21:57.847 --> 00:22:01.684
Because they focused on what was eternal.
00:22:01.684 --> 00:22:03.686
So how should we fight the devil?
00:22:03.686 --> 00:22:06.655
The first thing is this we overcome
00:22:06.655 --> 00:22:08.391
By the blood of the lamb.
00:22:08.391 --> 00:22:11.127
You need jesus to cover everything in your life
00:22:11.127 --> 00:22:14.997
Your marriage, your mind,
00:22:15.564 --> 00:22:17.800
Your family, your children, your house.
00:22:17.800 --> 00:22:20.436
The blood of jesus should cover everything in your life.
00:22:20.436 --> 00:22:24.140
Remember the passover?
00:22:24.607 --> 00:22:27.410
God's people were protected. why?
00:22:27.410 --> 00:22:28.911
Because the blood of the lamb was on their doorpost.
00:22:28.911 --> 00:22:31.213
How many things are you allowing into your house
00:22:31.213 --> 00:22:34.517
That need to get out?
00:22:34.517 --> 00:22:37.119
It's the covering of the lord upon your house.
00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:39.755
That's what needs to be there today.
00:22:39.755 --> 00:22:41.390
The second thing it says the word of your testimony.
00:22:41.390 --> 00:22:44.560
Satan can't take back your testimony.
00:22:44.560 --> 00:22:46.529
You can't take away your testimony.
00:22:46.529 --> 00:22:49.398
Satan can't
00:22:49.732 --> 00:22:50.766
Shut you up with what god has done in your life,
00:22:50.766 --> 00:22:53.636
How he changed you, how he met you, how he freed you
00:22:53.636 --> 00:22:57.339
Used to be an addict to this, not anymore.
00:22:57.339 --> 00:23:00.509
You used to be going downhill in your life.
00:23:00.509 --> 00:23:02.812
Not anymore.
00:23:02.812 --> 00:23:04.780
You used to feel lonely,
00:23:04.780 --> 00:23:08.017
Suicidal.
00:23:08.017 --> 00:23:10.619
But now you know the love of the father.
00:23:10.619 --> 00:23:13.923
And maybe god is using your testimony
00:23:13.923 --> 00:23:15.691
To change the lives of others.
00:23:15.691 --> 00:23:17.026
It's the word of our testimony that how that holds power.
00:23:17.026 --> 00:23:20.663
And the last thing is this by surrendering our lives to god,
00:23:21.831 --> 00:23:24.800
Meaning you got to let god have full control over everything,
00:23:24.800 --> 00:23:28.771
Full control.
00:23:29.138 --> 00:23:30.973
And i believe some of you, some of you, here's what we do.
00:23:30.973 --> 00:23:33.609
God, i'm going to give you everything except this
00:23:33.609 --> 00:23:36.479
One area of my life.
00:23:36.946 --> 00:23:38.514
Now. god wants it all.
00:23:38.514 --> 00:23:40.349
The broken heart, the bitterness, the anger,
00:23:40.349 --> 00:23:43.919
The addiction, the lust, the pride, the arrogance.
00:23:43.919 --> 00:23:47.256
He wants it all. give it to him.
00:23:47.256 --> 00:23:48.691
Surrender everything in your life.
00:23:48.691 --> 00:23:50.259
The fear that comes after you.
00:23:50.259 --> 00:23:51.894
Mind surrendering to him.
00:23:51.894 --> 00:23:53.896
Every bit of it.
00:23:53.896 --> 00:23:56.065
Surrender it all.
00:23:56.065 --> 00:23:58.400
Because i want to end with this
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:00.503
Hell lost today.
00:24:00.503 --> 00:24:01.670
Jesus was born in bethlehem
00:24:01.670 --> 00:24:04.306
Because that cry from the manger was heaven.
00:24:04.306 --> 00:24:07.076
Announcing devil uranus over
00:24:07.076 --> 00:24:11.180
The infant,
00:24:11.514 --> 00:24:13.582
The son of god.
00:24:13.582 --> 00:24:15.351
A baby will take down your demonic kingdom,
00:24:15.351 --> 00:24:19.455
For god's authority will be seen.
00:24:20.189 --> 00:24:22.591
Glory to god in the highest.
00:24:22.591 --> 00:24:25.728
That's how the silent night came.
00:24:25.728 --> 00:24:28.631
All right, guys, that's all the time we have for today.
00:24:28.631 --> 00:24:31.033
But i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:24:31.033 --> 00:24:34.770
There is a reason you heard this word today.
00:24:34.770 --> 00:24:37.339
It's not by mistake.
00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:38.774
You're here for a reason and god has a plan for you.
00:24:38.774 --> 00:24:42.678
And listen, if you love this church
00:24:42.678 --> 00:24:44.813
And thinking about giving to this church, all you have to do
00:24:44.813 --> 00:24:47.750
Is visit our website at bobbie chandler ministries.com.
00:24:47.750 --> 00:24:51.620
And it's very easy to give.
00:24:51.620 --> 00:24:53.155
And once you give, listen,
00:24:53.155 --> 00:24:54.390
You're helping change lives because of your faithful giving.
00:24:54.390 --> 00:24:58.727
We're able to reach not only the nation, but the world.
00:24:58.727 --> 00:25:02.431
We're bringing the gospel of jesus christ
00:25:02.431 --> 00:25:04.867
Into everyone's home as much as we can.
00:25:04.867 --> 00:25:08.270
So that they know the love of god.
00:25:08.270 --> 00:25:11.273
And listen.
00:25:11.273 --> 00:25:12.408

00:25:16.378 --> 00:25:19.582
So thank you for watching today
00:25:19.582 --> 00:25:21.917
And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
00:25:21.917 --> 00:25:24.920
All right, before you go, i got one more announcement to make.
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:27.456
And this one's a big one.
00:25:27.456 --> 00:25:28.624
Okay.
00:25:28.624 --> 00:25:28.991
This year
00:25:28.991 --> 00:25:29.758
We held our very
00:25:29.758 --> 00:25:30.826
First awaking conference in hickory, north carolina
00:25:30.826 --> 00:25:34.129
For authentic church.
00:25:34.129 --> 00:25:35.331
And we saw
00:25:35.331 --> 00:25:36.498
People come out from everywhere, from all over the nation
00:25:36.498 --> 00:25:40.336
And even outside of the country
00:25:40.336 --> 00:25:42.037
To experience what god is doing here.
00:25:42.037 --> 00:25:44.273
So we're doing it again in 2026, from june 4th to june 7th.
00:25:44.273 --> 00:25:49.678
We would love for you to plan and be here with us.
00:25:49.678 --> 00:25:52.548
And if you want to look into more details
00:25:52.548 --> 00:25:54.917
Over the conference,
00:25:54.917 --> 00:25:55.884
All you have to do is click the link below.
00:25:55.884 --> 00:25:57.653
In fact, here's a recap video to show you what all god did.
00:25:57.653 --> 00:26:25.547
And the
00:26:25.781 --> 00:26:26.582
Reason i even bring it up tonight
00:26:26.582 --> 00:26:29.551
Is because when it comes to you knowing jesus
00:26:29.551 --> 00:26:33.288
The man, the gospel message is all about
00:26:33.288 --> 00:26:37.226
Your understanding of the message about the man
00:26:37.226 --> 00:26:41.497
Who inform your methods of getting to know the man
00:26:41.497 --> 00:26:45.000
From.
00:26:45.234 --> 00:27:15.297
This.
00:27:15.531 --> 00:27:16.331
This job doesn't work out for me.
00:27:16.331 --> 00:27:17.966
What if i move my life by faith and it all just
00:27:17.966 --> 00:27:21.704
Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
00:27:21.704 --> 00:27:24.606
What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
00:27:24.606 --> 00:27:27.509
But i would rather move by faith and even fail and fail
00:27:27.509 --> 00:27:31.013
And fail and know that i follow god and i ended up
00:27:31.013 --> 00:27:33.982
Exactly where i needed to be.
00:27:33.982 --> 00:28:05.981
You know what?
00:28:06.315 --> 00:28:06.715
Today is
00:28:06.715 --> 00:28:08.317
Pentecost.
00:28:08.317 --> 00:28:09.184
Sunday,
00:28:09.184 --> 00:28:11.920
Pentecost sunday.
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.157
Who? you better
00:28:15.524 --> 00:28:17.559
Not ask the holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:21.296
I came here to remind you
00:28:21.864 --> 00:28:23.632
You need the holy spirit.
00:28:23.632 --> 00:28:23.632
