- [praise the lord!] you may be seated.
- 00:03:44.451 --> 00:03:49.023
- You may be seated. in ancient times,
- 00:03:49.089 --> 00:03:50.224
- In ancient times, walls were the main source
- 00:03:50.291 --> 00:03:53.294
- Walls were the main source of defense around every city
- 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.062
- Of defense around every city and around every village.
- 00:03:55.129 --> 00:03:56.530
- And around every village. the bible says that a man
- 00:03:56.597 --> 00:03:58.299
- The bible says that a man without self-control is like
- 00:03:58.365 --> 00:03:59.733
- Without self-control is like a city without walls.
- 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.268
- A city without walls. anything and everything
- 00:04:01.335 --> 00:04:02.703
- Anything and everything can overtake it.
- 00:04:02.770 --> 00:04:04.638
- Can overtake it. and regardless of how good
- 00:04:04.705 --> 00:04:06.140
- And regardless of how good the walls were,
- 00:04:06.206 --> 00:04:07.308
- The walls were, the only way that the walls
- 00:04:07.374 --> 00:04:08.575
- The only way that the walls were truly effective in
- 00:04:08.642 --> 00:04:09.977
- Were truly effective in defending the city is if there
- 00:04:10.044 --> 00:04:11.812
- Defending the city is if there were watchmen who were standing
- 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:13.580
- Were watchmen who were standing on top of those walls.
- 00:04:13.647 --> 00:04:16.216
- On top of those walls. and these watchmen had
- 00:04:16.283 --> 00:04:17.284
- And these watchmen had a purpose.
- 00:04:17.351 --> 00:04:18.919
- A purpose. it wasn't just simply to say,
- 00:04:18.986 --> 00:04:20.254
- It wasn't just simply to say, "hey, somebody's coming."
- 00:04:20.321 --> 00:04:22.823
- "hey, somebody's coming." these watchmen had to stay
- 00:04:22.890 --> 00:04:24.491
- These watchmen had to stay focused on what was afar off.
- 00:04:24.558 --> 00:04:27.695
- Focused on what was afar off. and they had to discern;
- 00:04:27.761 --> 00:04:29.163
- And they had to discern; is it a friend or is it a foe?
- 00:04:29.229 --> 00:04:32.299
- Is it a friend or is it a foe? they had to be able to tell the
- 00:04:32.366 --> 00:04:33.634
- They had to be able to tell the difference between a caravan
- 00:04:33.701 --> 00:04:35.402
- Difference between a caravan that was carrying spices and
- 00:04:35.469 --> 00:04:37.104
- That was carrying spices and silk and all types of things
- 00:04:37.171 --> 00:04:38.739
- Silk and all types of things for business and trade,
- 00:04:38.806 --> 00:04:40.040
- For business and trade, and understand what an animal
- 00:04:40.107 --> 00:04:41.208
- And understand what an animal looked like when it was loaded
- 00:04:41.275 --> 00:04:42.409
- Looked like when it was loaded down with military weapons and
- 00:04:42.476 --> 00:04:44.345
- Down with military weapons and was coming for an evil purpose.
- 00:04:44.411 --> 00:04:46.613
- Was coming for an evil purpose. they had to have this kind of
- 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:47.948
- They had to have this kind of perception,
- 00:04:48.015 --> 00:04:48.682
- Perception, so that whenever they saw
- 00:04:48.749 --> 00:04:49.450
- So that whenever they saw trouble coming,
- 00:04:49.516 --> 00:04:50.417
- Trouble coming, they could alert the city that
- 00:04:50.484 --> 00:04:52.086
- They could alert the city that there was something evil headed
- 00:04:52.152 --> 00:04:53.520
- There was something evil headed that way,
- 00:04:53.587 --> 00:04:54.388
- That way, and the city could prepare
- 00:04:54.455 --> 00:04:55.489
- And the city could prepare to defend itself.
- 00:04:55.556 --> 00:04:56.523
- To defend itself. if they did not,
- 00:04:56.590 --> 00:04:57.691
- If they did not, and the enemy got too close,
- 00:04:57.758 --> 00:04:59.126
- And the enemy got too close, then the city would suffer.
- 00:04:59.193 --> 00:05:01.929
- Then the city would suffer. it was a very daunting task
- 00:05:01.995 --> 00:05:03.831
- It was a very daunting task to remain vigilant for hours
- 00:05:03.897 --> 00:05:05.632
- To remain vigilant for hours on in,
- 00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:06.300
- On in, in the day and in the night,
- 00:05:06.367 --> 00:05:08.035
- In the day and in the night, because if the watchmen failed
- 00:05:08.102 --> 00:05:09.703
- Because if the watchmen failed to do their job,
- 00:05:09.770 --> 00:05:10.804
- To do their job, then their homes,
- 00:05:10.871 --> 00:05:11.739
- Then their homes, their town,
- 00:05:11.805 --> 00:05:12.573
- Their town, their city,
- 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:13.407
- Their city, their children,
- 00:05:13.474 --> 00:05:14.308
- Their children, their families
- 00:05:14.375 --> 00:05:15.442
- Their families were indeed going to suffer
- 00:05:15.509 --> 00:05:16.744
- Were indeed going to suffer the consequences.
- 00:05:16.810 --> 00:05:19.747
- The consequences. in our modern world,
- 00:05:19.813 --> 00:05:20.948
- In our modern world, watchmen are still needed.
- 00:05:21.014 --> 00:05:24.918
- Watchmen are still needed. i believe that the bible tells
- 00:05:24.985 --> 00:05:28.522
- I believe that the bible tells us very clearly that we are
- 00:05:28.589 --> 00:05:30.891
- Us very clearly that we are living in days of evil.
- 00:05:30.958 --> 00:05:34.862
- Living in days of evil. the bible says that you,
- 00:05:34.928 --> 00:05:36.363
- The bible says that you, who love the lord,
- 00:05:36.430 --> 00:05:37.131
- Who love the lord, take a stand in the evil day.
- 00:05:37.197 --> 00:05:40.067
- Take a stand in the evil day. [amen!]
- 00:05:40.134 --> 00:05:40.801
- [amen!] and this is an evil day.
- 00:05:40.868 --> 00:05:43.036
- And this is an evil day. this is a day when darkness
- 00:05:43.103 --> 00:05:44.505
- This is a day when darkness has run rampant.
- 00:05:44.571 --> 00:05:46.840
- Has run rampant. but the thing about darkness
- 00:05:46.907 --> 00:05:48.142
- But the thing about darkness in the word of god is that
- 00:05:48.208 --> 00:05:49.643
- In the word of god is that it was defeated in genesis.
- 00:05:49.710 --> 00:05:52.513
- It was defeated in genesis. it was defeated again
- 00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:53.914
- It was defeated again when jesus came and he filled
- 00:05:53.981 --> 00:05:55.482
- When jesus came and he filled a manger.
- 00:05:55.549 --> 00:05:55.983
- A manger. it was defeated when jesus hung
- 00:05:56.049 --> 00:05:57.751
- It was defeated when jesus hung on a cross and declared,
- 00:05:57.818 --> 00:05:59.319
- On a cross and declared, "it is finished."
- 00:05:59.386 --> 00:06:00.320
- "it is finished." darkness has been so decimated
- 00:06:00.387 --> 00:06:02.256
- Darkness has been so decimated that the new testament says
- 00:06:02.322 --> 00:06:03.690
- That the new testament says that he, jesus christ,
- 00:06:03.757 --> 00:06:05.159
- That he, jesus christ, made a public spectacle
- 00:06:05.225 --> 00:06:06.894
- Made a public spectacle of powers and principalities.
- 00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:08.695
- Of powers and principalities. it literally means
- 00:06:08.762 --> 00:06:09.696
- It literally means he humiliated them when he
- 00:06:09.763 --> 00:06:11.765
- He humiliated them when he defeated them at the cross.
- 00:06:11.832 --> 00:06:13.767
- Defeated them at the cross. [amen!]
- 00:06:13.834 --> 00:06:15.002
- [amen!] i believe that god in heaven
- 00:06:15.068 --> 00:06:16.336
- I believe that god in heaven is looking down on the earth
- 00:06:16.403 --> 00:06:17.805
- Is looking down on the earth today.
- 00:06:17.871 --> 00:06:18.605
- Today. and the question that he has is
- 00:06:18.672 --> 00:06:20.407
- And the question that he has is the same one that we're asking
- 00:06:20.474 --> 00:06:21.475
- The same one that we're asking in this sermon;
- 00:06:21.542 --> 00:06:22.443
- In this sermon; where are the watchmen?
- 00:06:22.509 --> 00:06:25.913

- Let me tell you what would be greatly offensive;

- 00:09:19.052 --> 00:09:20.020
- [amen!] one of reasons that the watchmen
- 00:09:20.087 --> 00:09:21.355
- One of reasons that the watchmen are silent in our modern day
- 00:09:21.421 --> 00:09:23.090
- Are silent in our modern day is because often times
- 00:09:23.156 --> 00:09:24.691
- Is because often times the enemy has our watchmen
- 00:09:24.758 --> 00:09:26.460
- The enemy has our watchmen divided and distracted.
- 00:09:26.526 --> 00:09:30.063
- Divided and distracted. we live in a natural world.
- 00:09:30.130 --> 00:09:31.465
- We live in a natural world. but that natural world is under
- 00:09:31.531 --> 00:09:33.066
- But that natural world is under supernatural influence.
- 00:09:33.133 --> 00:09:35.836
- Supernatural influence. and the supernatural is always
- 00:09:35.902 --> 00:09:37.404
- And the supernatural is always greater than the natural.
- 00:09:37.471 --> 00:09:40.340
- Greater than the natural. when you see things happening
- 00:09:40.407 --> 00:09:41.541
- When you see things happening in the world today,
- 00:09:41.608 --> 00:09:42.476
- In the world today, understand that there are two
- 00:09:42.542 --> 00:09:43.844
- Understand that there are two forces that are at war and have
- 00:09:43.910 --> 00:09:45.612
- Forces that are at war and have been long before you got here.
- 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.214
- Been long before you got here. one is light and the other
- 00:09:47.280 --> 00:09:48.782
- One is light and the other is darkness.
- 00:09:48.849 --> 00:09:51.718
- Is darkness. and so many things right now
- 00:09:51.785 --> 00:09:53.353
- And so many things right now are being utilized
- 00:09:53.420 --> 00:09:54.354
- Are being utilized by the kingdom of darkness.
- 00:09:54.421 --> 00:09:55.722
- By the kingdom of darkness. why?
- 00:09:55.789 --> 00:09:56.223
- Why? so the watchmen stay silent.
- 00:09:56.289 --> 00:09:59.660
- So the watchmen stay silent. why?
- 00:09:59.726 --> 00:10:02.095
- Why? because if jesus christ has
- 00:10:02.162 --> 00:10:03.797
- Because if jesus christ has the name that is above
- 00:10:03.864 --> 00:10:05.065
- The name that is above every name,
- 00:10:05.132 --> 00:10:05.999
- Every name, then the only thing that
- 00:10:06.066 --> 00:10:06.833
- Then the only thing that a watchmen has to do
- 00:10:06.900 --> 00:10:08.035
- A watchmen has to do is say that name,
- 00:10:08.101 --> 00:10:09.603

- (applause) so what's the enemy's first
- 00:10:17.577 --> 00:10:18.879
- So what's the enemy's first strategy against a watchman?
- 00:10:18.945 --> 00:10:20.213
- Strategy against a watchman? division.
- 00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:22.349
- Division. look at how many places
- 00:10:22.416 --> 00:10:23.483
- Look at how many places division is taking an impact
- 00:10:23.550 --> 00:10:25.419
- Division is taking an impact in our society today.
- 00:10:25.485 --> 00:10:28.221
- In our society today. consider what the bible has
- 00:10:28.288 --> 00:10:29.322
- Consider what the bible has to say about unity.
- 00:10:29.389 --> 00:10:31.291
- To say about unity. psalm 133, it says,
- 00:10:31.358 --> 00:10:32.459
- Psalm 133, it says, "where there is unity...
- 00:10:32.526 --> 00:10:33.760
- "where there is unity... the lord commands a blessing."
- 00:10:33.827 --> 00:10:37.831
- The lord commands a blessing." he literally sends a blessing
- 00:10:37.898 --> 00:10:39.533
- He literally sends a blessing that is irrevocable.
- 00:10:39.599 --> 00:10:41.435
- That is irrevocable. deuteronomy 32,
- 00:10:41.501 --> 00:10:43.203
- Deuteronomy 32, it speaks about the exponential
- 00:10:43.270 --> 00:10:44.705
- It speaks about the exponential power that we gain
- 00:10:44.771 --> 00:10:45.939
- Power that we gain whenever we are in unity.
- 00:10:46.006 --> 00:10:47.441
- Whenever we are in unity. deuteronomy 32:30, it says,
- 00:10:47.507 --> 00:10:49.209
- Deuteronomy 32:30, it says, "one of us can put a thousand
- 00:10:49.276 --> 00:10:51.111
- "one of us can put a thousand to flight.
- 00:10:51.178 --> 00:10:51.878
- To flight. two of us can put ten thousand
- 00:10:51.945 --> 00:10:53.780
- Two of us can put ten thousand when god is on our side."
- 00:10:53.847 --> 00:10:57.384
- When god is on our side." this is what jesus said
- 00:10:57.451 --> 00:10:58.452
- This is what jesus said in matthew 18;
- 00:10:58.518 --> 00:10:59.319
- In matthew 18; he said,
- 00:10:59.386 --> 00:10:59.786
- He said, "where two or three of you
- 00:10:59.853 --> 00:11:01.154
- "where two or three of you gather in my name,
- 00:11:01.221 --> 00:11:02.422
- Gather in my name, i am there in the midst,"
- 00:11:02.489 --> 00:11:05.592
- I am there in the midst," and
- 00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:06.159
- And "whatever you ask the father
- 00:11:06.226 --> 00:11:07.094
- "whatever you ask the father in my name,"
- 00:11:07.160 --> 00:11:08.228
- In my name," he will do it."
- 00:11:08.295 --> 00:11:10.564
- He will do it." say that with me.
- 00:11:10.630 --> 00:11:11.364
- Say that with me. "he will do it."
- 00:11:11.431 --> 00:11:13.734
- "he will do it." this is why paul told
- 00:11:13.800 --> 00:11:15.068
- This is why paul told the new testament church
- 00:11:15.135 --> 00:11:16.002
- The new testament church in hebrews,
- 00:11:16.069 --> 00:11:17.070
- In hebrews, "forsake not the assembling
- 00:11:17.137 --> 00:11:19.339
- "forsake not the assembling of yourselves together."
- 00:11:19.406 --> 00:11:22.642
- Of yourselves together." consider this;
- 00:11:22.709 --> 00:11:23.744
- Consider this; if two or three of us gather,
- 00:11:23.810 --> 00:11:25.545
- If two or three of us gather, and jesus christ comes down
- 00:11:25.612 --> 00:11:27.481
- And jesus christ comes down from heavenly places to be
- 00:11:27.547 --> 00:11:28.882
- From heavenly places to be enthroned in the midst
- 00:11:28.949 --> 00:11:29.850
- Enthroned in the midst of his people,
- 00:11:29.916 --> 00:11:30.884
- Of his people, if in his presence
- 00:11:30.951 --> 00:11:32.052
- If in his presence is the fullness of joy,
- 00:11:32.119 --> 00:11:33.353
- Is the fullness of joy, and at his right hand
- 00:11:33.420 --> 00:11:34.654
- And at his right hand there's pleasures ever more,
- 00:11:34.721 --> 00:11:35.989
- There's pleasures ever more, then consider how much
- 00:11:36.056 --> 00:11:37.057
- Then consider how much supernatural power there is
- 00:11:37.124 --> 00:11:38.825
- Supernatural power there is in this room when we get
- 00:11:38.892 --> 00:11:40.494
- In this room when we get together and are united
- 00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:41.862
- Together and are united in the mighty name
- 00:11:41.928 --> 00:11:42.662
- In the mighty name of jesus christ.
- 00:11:42.729 --> 00:11:44.798
- Of jesus christ. [amen!]
- 00:11:44.865 --> 00:11:45.766

- These promises are too confusing.
- 00:14:56.489 --> 00:14:57.324
- Confusing. but the truth is these promises
- 00:14:57.390 --> 00:14:58.591
- But the truth is these promises are so simple;
- 00:14:58.658 --> 00:14:59.292

- He wants your heart that hears the word of god to be arguing
- 00:15:04.097 --> 00:15:05.565
- The word of god to be arguing with your mind.

- With your mind. every time you receive one of
- 00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:07.834
- Every time you receive one of these promises inside your soul,
- 00:15:07.901 --> 00:15:09.636
- These promises inside your soul, he wants your mind
- 00:15:09.703 --> 00:15:10.303
- He wants your mind to disqualify it.
- 00:15:10.370 --> 00:15:11.171
- To disqualify it. do you really think god can
- 00:15:11.237 --> 00:15:12.639
- Do you really think god can bless you?
- 00:15:12.706 --> 00:15:13.239
- Bless you? do you really think god can
- 00:15:13.306 --> 00:15:14.374
- Do you really think god can move mountains?
- 00:15:14.441 --> 00:15:15.208
- Move mountains? do you really think god can
- 00:15:15.275 --> 00:15:16.343
- Do you really think god can open up the windows of heaven?
- 00:15:16.409 --> 00:15:17.644
- Open up the windows of heaven? do you really think god can
- 00:15:17.711 --> 00:15:18.812
- Do you really think god can forgive you?
- 00:15:18.878 --> 00:15:22.115
- Forgive you? he wants you arguing
- 00:15:22.182 --> 00:15:23.016
- He wants you arguing with yourself.
- 00:15:23.083 --> 00:15:23.650
- With yourself. and the danger of this kind of
- 00:15:23.717 --> 00:15:24.818
- And the danger of this kind of division is according to
- 00:15:24.884 --> 00:15:26.152
- Division is according to the first chapter of the book
- 00:15:26.219 --> 00:15:27.120
- The first chapter of the book of james,
- 00:15:27.187 --> 00:15:27.654
- Of james, it says,
- 00:15:27.721 --> 00:15:28.088
- It says, "he who doubts will receive
- 00:15:28.154 --> 00:15:30.757
- "he who doubts will receive nothing."
- 00:15:30.824 --> 00:15:33.793
- Nothing." "he who doubts will receive
- 00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:35.328
- "he who doubts will receive nothing."
- 00:15:35.395 --> 00:15:37.630
- Nothing." the devil divides us
- 00:15:37.697 --> 00:15:38.598
- The devil divides us with our pride
- 00:15:38.665 --> 00:15:41.334
- With our pride where we believe that we're
- 00:15:41.401 --> 00:15:42.302
- Where we believe that we're better than others.
- 00:15:42.369 --> 00:15:44.604
- Better than others. he divides us in our arrogance
- 00:15:44.671 --> 00:15:47.107
- He divides us in our arrogance where we're too stubborn
- 00:15:47.173 --> 00:15:47.974
- Where we're too stubborn to admit when we're wrong.
- 00:15:48.041 --> 00:15:50.877
- To admit when we're wrong. the reality of our unity
- 00:15:50.944 --> 00:15:52.445
- The reality of our unity is that it's based on
- 00:15:52.512 --> 00:15:53.246
- Is that it's based on our humility.
- 00:15:53.313 --> 00:15:56.049
- Our humility. the bible says,
- 00:15:56.116 --> 00:15:56.516
- The bible says, "humble yourself in the sight
- 00:15:56.583 --> 00:15:58.351
- "humble yourself in the sight of the lord
- 00:15:58.418 --> 00:15:59.185
- Of the lord and he will raise you up."
- 00:15:59.252 --> 00:16:03.056
- And he will raise you up." it's time that we had
- 00:16:03.123 --> 00:16:04.090
- It's time that we had a resurrection of humility
- 00:16:04.157 --> 00:16:06.092
- A resurrection of humility in this nation,
- 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.828
- In this nation, so that god will extend
- 00:16:08.895 --> 00:16:10.263
- So that god will extend his grace and his mercy
- 00:16:10.330 --> 00:16:11.398
- His grace and his mercy towards us.
- 00:16:11.464 --> 00:16:12.999
- Towards us. not only does the enemy
- 00:16:13.066 --> 00:16:13.833
- Not only does the enemy want you divided by your pride
- 00:16:13.900 --> 00:16:15.201
- Want you divided by your pride and your arrogance;
- 00:16:15.268 --> 00:16:16.136
- And your arrogance; he wants you divided
- 00:16:16.202 --> 00:16:16.903
- He wants you divided by your offenses.
- 00:16:16.970 --> 00:16:19.339
- By your offenses. how many of you know somebody
- 00:16:19.406 --> 00:16:20.507
- How many of you know somebody who's so offended;
- 00:16:20.573 --> 00:16:21.374
- Who's so offended; they don't fellowship no more?
- 00:16:21.441 --> 00:16:23.810
- They don't fellowship no more? (laughter)
- 00:16:23.877 --> 00:16:25.011
- (laughter) the bible calls this
- 00:16:25.078 --> 00:16:25.945
- The bible calls this "the root of bitterness."
- 00:16:26.012 --> 00:16:26.846
- "the root of bitterness." in hebrews 12:15, it says,
- 00:16:26.913 --> 00:16:29.015
- In hebrews 12:15, it says, "beware of the root
- 00:16:29.082 --> 00:16:30.150
- "beware of the root of bitterness,
- 00:16:30.216 --> 00:16:30.884
- Of bitterness, because by it,
- 00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:31.951
- Because by it, many become defiled."
- 00:16:32.018 --> 00:16:34.187
- Many become defiled." now the thing you have
- 00:16:34.254 --> 00:16:34.821
- Now the thing you have to understand about roots
- 00:16:34.888 --> 00:16:36.423
- To understand about roots is that roots grow from seeds.
- 00:16:36.489 --> 00:16:38.558
- Is that roots grow from seeds. and the seed of offense,
- 00:16:38.625 --> 00:16:40.160
- And the seed of offense, if you let it grow
- 00:16:40.226 --> 00:16:41.161
- If you let it grow in your life,
- 00:16:41.227 --> 00:16:41.995
- In your life, it'll put out a root.
- 00:16:42.062 --> 00:16:43.329
- It'll put out a root. and the longer it grows,
- 00:16:43.396 --> 00:16:44.731
- And the longer it grows, the stronger it gets.
- 00:16:44.798 --> 00:16:46.132
- The stronger it gets. and the stronger it gets,
- 00:16:46.199 --> 00:16:47.434
- And the stronger it gets, the more you'll infect others
- 00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:48.935
- The more you'll infect others with your bitterness.
- 00:16:49.002 --> 00:16:51.237
- With your bitterness. how many of you know people
- 00:16:51.304 --> 00:16:52.472
- How many of you know people that are so bitter;
- 00:16:52.539 --> 00:16:53.406
- That are so bitter; they can irritate you
- 00:16:53.473 --> 00:16:54.741
- They can irritate you from a mile away?
- 00:16:54.808 --> 00:16:56.776
- From a mile away? (laughter)
- 00:16:56.843 --> 00:16:58.111
- (laughter) this is god's prescription
- 00:16:58.178 --> 00:16:59.212
- This is god's prescription for bitterness,
- 00:16:59.279 --> 00:16:59.879
- For bitterness, ephesians 4:32; it says,
- 00:16:59.946 --> 00:17:01.915
- Ephesians 4:32; it says, "be kind one to another,
- 00:17:01.981 --> 00:17:05.852
- "be kind one to another, tender hearted,
- 00:17:05.919 --> 00:17:07.353
- Tender hearted, forgiving one another
- 00:17:07.420 --> 00:17:09.355
- Forgiving one another even as christ forgave you."
- 00:17:09.422 --> 00:17:12.292
- Even as christ forgave you." what god is saying
- 00:17:12.358 --> 00:17:13.526
- What god is saying is that if god can let go
- 00:17:13.593 --> 00:17:15.261
- Is that if god can let go of everything that you did
- 00:17:15.328 --> 00:17:16.362
- Of everything that you did to him,
- 00:17:16.429 --> 00:17:17.063
- To him, then you can let go of
- 00:17:17.130 --> 00:17:18.031
- Then you can let go of everything they did to you.
- 00:17:18.098 --> 00:17:20.033
- Everything they did to you. [amen!]

- 00:17:20.867 --> 00:17:23.670
- (applause) not only does the enemy want us
- 00:17:23.736 --> 00:17:24.871
- Not only does the enemy want us divided,
- 00:17:24.938 --> 00:17:25.472
- Divided, but the enemy wants us
- 00:17:25.538 --> 00:17:26.439
- But the enemy wants us distracted.
- 00:17:26.506 --> 00:17:28.374
- Distracted. when god's kids start to get
- 00:17:28.441 --> 00:17:29.943
- When god's kids start to get together and they start to get
- 00:17:30.009 --> 00:17:31.111
- Together and they start to get on the same page,
- 00:17:31.177 --> 00:17:32.278
- On the same page, and the enemy sees the power
- 00:17:32.345 --> 00:17:33.780
- And the enemy sees the power of unity starting to work
- 00:17:33.847 --> 00:17:35.081
- Of unity starting to work in their prayer life,
- 00:17:35.148 --> 00:17:36.349
- In their prayer life, starting to work
- 00:17:36.416 --> 00:17:36.950
- Starting to work in their worship,

- Starting to work in the community,
- 00:17:38.551 --> 00:17:39.486
- In the community, the next thing the enemy does
- 00:17:39.552 --> 00:17:40.753
- The next thing the enemy does is he wants you distracted.
- 00:17:40.820 --> 00:17:43.656
- Is he wants you distracted. let me turn their attention
- 00:17:43.723 --> 00:17:44.924
- Let me turn their attention from what god wants them to do,
- 00:17:44.991 --> 00:17:46.559
- From what god wants them to do, so that they'll chase
- 00:17:46.626 --> 00:17:47.260
- So that they'll chase everything else in this life.
- 00:17:47.327 --> 00:17:51.231
- Everything else in this life. where are the watchmen
- 00:17:51.297 --> 00:17:52.065
- Where are the watchmen in our homes?
- 00:17:52.132 --> 00:17:54.968
- In our homes? in this modern world,
- 00:17:55.034 --> 00:17:55.902
- In this modern world, often times fathers get

- Children are left alone. you have to understand
- 00:18:03.877 --> 00:18:05.011
- You have to understand god didn't call you to be
- 00:18:05.078 --> 00:18:06.346
- God didn't call you to be a great businessman;
- 00:18:06.412 --> 00:18:07.514
- A great businessman; he called you to be the father
- 00:18:07.580 --> 00:18:08.781
- He called you to be the father of those children.
- 00:18:08.848 --> 00:18:10.650

- 00:18:10.717 --> 00:18:13.386
- (applause) the enemy will distract you,
- 00:18:13.453 --> 00:18:15.455
- The enemy will distract you, not just with the things
- 00:18:15.522 --> 00:18:16.422
- Not just with the things of this world,
- 00:18:16.489 --> 00:18:17.056
- Of this world, but he'll distract you
- 00:18:17.123 --> 00:18:18.291
- But he'll distract you with your own flesh.
- 00:18:18.358 --> 00:18:22.328
- With your own flesh. the bible says,
- 00:18:22.395 --> 00:18:23.163
- The bible says, "give no place to the devil."
- 00:18:23.229 --> 00:18:24.731
- "give no place to the devil." say that with me.
- 00:18:24.797 --> 00:18:25.798
- Say that with me. "give no place to the devil."
- 00:18:25.865 --> 00:18:27.634
- "give no place to the devil." what does that mean?
- 00:18:27.700 --> 00:18:28.401
- What does that mean? that means do not show him
- 00:18:28.468 --> 00:18:30.336
- That means do not show him your weakness.
- 00:18:30.403 --> 00:18:32.505
- Your weakness. why?
- 00:18:32.572 --> 00:18:32.939
- Why? because he'll exploit it.
- 00:18:33.006 --> 00:18:36.242
- Because he'll exploit it. one of the things that we often
- 00:18:36.309 --> 00:18:37.577
- One of the things that we often do in our sainthood is we look
- 00:18:37.644 --> 00:18:41.948
- Do in our sainthood is we look at the behaviors of others,
- 00:18:42.015 --> 00:18:43.283
- At the behaviors of others, and we immediately think,
- 00:18:43.349 --> 00:18:44.317
- And we immediately think, "well i'm not near as bad
- 00:18:44.384 --> 00:18:45.318
- "well i'm not near as bad as that guy."
- 00:18:45.385 --> 00:18:46.753
- As that guy." (laughter)
- 00:18:46.819 --> 00:18:47.654
- (laughter) now i may not be talking
- 00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:48.454
- Now i may not be talking about you.
- 00:18:48.521 --> 00:18:49.122
- About you. but i know you know somebody
- 00:18:49.189 --> 00:18:50.056
- But i know you know somebody who acts that way
- 00:18:50.123 --> 00:18:50.890
- Who acts that way from time to time.
- 00:18:50.957 --> 00:18:52.325
- From time to time. (laughter)
- 00:18:52.392 --> 00:18:53.826
- (laughter) and jesus said it this way,
- 00:18:53.893 --> 00:18:54.994
- And jesus said it this way, "judge not;
- 00:18:55.061 --> 00:18:56.763
- "judge not; lest ye be judged,"
- 00:18:56.829 --> 00:18:59.365
- Lest ye be judged," meaning that there will
- 00:18:59.432 --> 00:19:00.133
- Meaning that there will always be a higher court
- 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.268
- Always be a higher court that can look down upon
- 00:19:02.335 --> 00:19:03.403
- That can look down upon our behavior and recognize
- 00:19:03.469 --> 00:19:05.171
- Our behavior and recognize what we do wrong.
- 00:19:05.238 --> 00:19:08.908
- What we do wrong. here's how james said it;
- 00:19:08.975 --> 00:19:11.477
- Here's how james said it; "each is tempted when
- 00:19:11.544 --> 00:19:13.813
- "each is tempted when he's drawn into his own desire
- 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.349
- He's drawn into his own desire and enticed."
- 00:19:16.416 --> 00:19:18.851
- And enticed." that means that the devil
- 00:19:18.918 --> 00:19:19.552
- That means that the devil is watching.
- 00:19:19.619 --> 00:19:21.554
- Is watching. and he's waiting to see what
- 00:19:21.621 --> 00:19:22.956
- And he's waiting to see what you cast longing eyes at.
- 00:19:23.022 --> 00:19:25.792
- You cast longing eyes at. and the second he sees it,
- 00:19:25.858 --> 00:19:27.026
- And the second he sees it, he'll take his time and tailor
- 00:19:27.093 --> 00:19:29.028
- He'll take his time and tailor make you a suit of temptation
- 00:19:29.095 --> 00:19:31.431
- Make you a suit of temptation and hold the coat out for you
- 00:19:31.497 --> 00:19:32.799
- And hold the coat out for you to put on,
- 00:19:32.865 --> 00:19:33.199
- To put on, and say, "it fits just right."
- 00:19:33.266 --> 00:19:37.437
- And say, "it fits just right." each one is tempted
- 00:19:37.503 --> 00:19:39.339
- Each one is tempted when he's drawn into
- 00:19:39.405 --> 00:19:40.173
- When he's drawn into his own desires and enticed.
- 00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.042
- His own desires and enticed. don't let the devil use
- 00:19:43.109 --> 00:19:44.110
- Don't let the devil use your flesh to distract you.
- 00:19:44.177 --> 00:19:47.647
- Your flesh to distract you. isaiah 62:6 and 7,
- 00:19:47.714 --> 00:19:49.449
- Isaiah 62:6 and 7, it speaks about watchmen.
- 00:19:49.515 --> 00:19:51.184
- It speaks about watchmen. but it gives us a very clear
- 00:19:51.251 --> 00:19:53.419
- But it gives us a very clear instruction that these watchmen
- 00:19:53.486 --> 00:19:55.121
- Instruction that these watchmen are different than those
