What shields it? but it's even much more
00:05:06.854 --> 00:05:08.322
But it's even much more practical than that.
00:05:08.389 --> 00:05:10.391
Practical than that. leviathan is mentioned five

Leviathan is mentioned five times in the scriptures.
00:05:12.292 --> 00:05:14.328

A lot of people don't like to talk about the devil
00:05:34.281 --> 00:05:35.182

00:05:56.270 --> 00:05:59.440
God said to job right before his breakthrough,
00:05:59.506 --> 00:06:01.108
Before his breakthrough, "i want you to understand even
00:06:01.175 --> 00:06:02.910
"i want you to understand even though you think
00:06:02.976 --> 00:06:04.378
Though you think this spirit has not been
00:06:04.445 --> 00:06:07.214
This spirit has not been involved in your life,
00:06:07.281 --> 00:06:09.016
Involved in your life, it has been."
00:06:09.082 --> 00:06:09.817
It has been." and i'm gonna ask you
00:06:09.883 --> 00:06:10.751
And i'm gonna ask you a pop quiz,
00:06:10.818 --> 00:06:11.885
A pop quiz, and i'm gonna give you
00:06:11.952 --> 00:06:12.820
And i'm gonna give you four questions that will reveal
00:06:12.886 --> 00:06:14.888
Four questions that will reveal whether or not the spirit
00:06:14.955 --> 00:06:16.957
Whether or not the spirit of leviathan,
00:06:17.024 --> 00:06:18.425
Of leviathan, which is a water creature,
00:06:18.492 --> 00:06:20.260
Which is a water creature, which in other words,
00:06:20.327 --> 00:06:21.762
Which in other words, he lurks,
00:06:21.829 --> 00:06:23.697
He lurks, he lurks at the bottom.
00:06:23.764 --> 00:06:25.365
He lurks at the bottom. you can't see him,
00:06:25.432 --> 00:06:26.300
You can't see him, he's in the murky water.
00:06:26.366 --> 00:06:28.402
He's in the murky water. this spirit
00:06:28.469 --> 00:06:29.036
This spirit operates among water.
00:06:29.102 --> 00:06:32.039
Operates among water. water is symbolic of the spirit,
00:06:32.105 --> 00:06:34.608
Water is symbolic of the spirit, water is symbolic
00:06:34.675 --> 00:06:35.876
Water is symbolic of where the spirit moves.
00:06:35.943 --> 00:06:38.078
Of where the spirit moves. water means that
00:06:38.145 --> 00:06:39.613
Water means that he is attracted --
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:40.948
He is attracted -- there's actually a verse that
00:06:41.014 --> 00:06:42.649
There's actually a verse that says he likes to play in
00:06:42.716 --> 00:06:44.618
Says he likes to play in the water,
00:06:44.685 --> 00:06:45.319
The water, names him,
00:06:45.385 --> 00:06:45.919
Names him, calls him leviathan.
00:06:45.986 --> 00:06:46.987
Calls him leviathan. maybe they can throw that
00:06:47.054 --> 00:06:47.654
Maybe they can throw that scripture up.
00:06:47.721 --> 00:06:48.522
Scripture up. and it says that's where
00:06:48.589 --> 00:06:50.090
And it says that's where he likes to play,
00:06:50.157 --> 00:06:52.292
He likes to play, down lurking in the water.
00:06:52.359 --> 00:06:55.496
Down lurking in the water. lurking and playing
00:06:55.562 --> 00:06:57.130
Lurking and playing in the water.
00:06:57.197 --> 00:06:59.466
In the water. and so, this spirit
00:06:59.533 --> 00:07:02.469
And so, this spirit is one that the church
00:07:02.536 --> 00:07:03.937
Is one that the church deals with.
00:07:04.004 --> 00:07:05.439
Deals with. this spirit is one
00:07:05.506 --> 00:07:06.807
This spirit is one that ministries and christians
00:07:06.874 --> 00:07:08.842
That ministries and christians have to deal with.
00:07:08.909 --> 00:07:10.711
Have to deal with. this one is sneaky
00:07:10.777 --> 00:07:12.579
This one is sneaky and it lurks in the bottom,
00:07:12.646 --> 00:07:15.816
And it lurks in the bottom, and it can get a grip
00:07:15.883 --> 00:07:17.284
And it can get a grip in your life.
00:07:17.351 --> 00:07:17.951
In your life. the name leviathan literally
00:07:18.018 --> 00:07:19.720
The name leviathan literally means to trick or to twist.
00:07:19.786 --> 00:07:25.592
Means to trick or to twist. to twist and to coil.
00:07:25.659 --> 00:07:29.162
To twist and to coil. one commentary said it's like a
00:07:29.229 --> 00:07:33.267
One commentary said it's like a corkscrew that you
00:07:33.333 --> 00:07:35.068
Corkscrew that you put in a cork.
00:07:35.135 --> 00:07:36.470
Put in a cork. once it's in there,
00:07:36.537 --> 00:07:38.205
Once it's in there, it's extremely hard
00:07:38.272 --> 00:07:40.541
It's extremely hard to get out and to pull out.
00:07:40.607 --> 00:07:43.210
To get out and to pull out. and notice,
00:07:43.277 --> 00:07:43.877
And notice, that's why god
00:07:43.944 --> 00:07:44.912
That's why god starts the conversation,
00:07:44.978 --> 00:07:46.613
Starts the conversation, and he says,
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:47.180
And he says, "job, can you just take
00:07:47.247 --> 00:07:48.849
"job, can you just take a hook and pull him
00:07:48.916 --> 00:07:50.117
A hook and pull him out of the water?"
00:07:50.183 --> 00:07:51.552
Out of the water?" and the answer is no.
00:07:51.618 --> 00:07:53.353
And the answer is no. the bible says pride
00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:54.521
The bible says pride goes before a fall,
00:07:54.588 --> 00:07:56.957
Goes before a fall, and destruction haughty --
00:07:57.024 --> 00:07:59.259
And destruction haughty -- a haughty spirit
00:07:59.326 --> 00:08:00.727
A haughty spirit before destruction.
00:08:00.794 --> 00:08:02.129
Before destruction. destruction is a bad thing,
00:08:02.195 --> 00:08:04.531
Destruction is a bad thing, and i've watched it,
00:08:04.598 --> 00:08:05.699
And i've watched it, i've watched it
00:08:05.766 --> 00:08:06.366
I've watched it in others.
00:08:06.433 --> 00:08:07.000
In others. and i'm not preaching
00:08:07.067 --> 00:08:07.801
And i'm not preaching to you today only,
00:08:07.868 --> 00:08:10.737
To you today only, i'm preaching to me
00:08:10.804 --> 00:08:12.839
I'm preaching to me that this is something
00:08:12.906 --> 00:08:13.907
That this is something we must be aware of,
00:08:13.974 --> 00:08:15.242
We must be aware of, this is something
00:08:15.309 --> 00:08:16.143
This is something we must guard,
00:08:16.209 --> 00:08:18.078
We must guard, this will ruin
00:08:18.145 --> 00:08:19.680
This will ruin your marriage,
00:08:19.746 --> 00:08:20.514
Your marriage, this will ruin your family,
00:08:20.581 --> 00:08:22.649
This will ruin your family, this will ruin your success,
00:08:22.716 --> 00:08:24.718
This will ruin your success, this will ruin your vision,
00:08:24.785 --> 00:08:26.787
This will ruin your vision, this will wipe you out.
00:08:26.853 --> 00:08:28.589
This will wipe you out. this is a big deal.
00:08:28.655 --> 00:08:29.523
This is a big deal. when he calls it a king,
00:08:29.590 --> 00:08:30.958
When he calls it a king, he's saying this is
00:08:31.024 --> 00:08:31.825
He's saying this is a ruling spirit that
00:08:31.892 --> 00:08:34.194
A ruling spirit that every church, every person
00:08:34.261 --> 00:08:36.930
Every church, every person who's involved in the water,
00:08:36.997 --> 00:08:39.166
Who's involved in the water, the moving of the holy spirit.
00:08:39.232 --> 00:08:41.234
The moving of the holy spirit. because you're anointed
00:08:41.301 --> 00:08:43.503
Because you're anointed and the spirit is moving,
00:08:43.570 --> 00:08:44.938
And the spirit is moving, that does not
00:08:45.005 --> 00:08:45.772
That does not mean that this spirit --
00:08:45.839 --> 00:08:47.774
Mean that this spirit -- he's attracted,
00:08:47.841 --> 00:08:48.709
He's attracted, he likes to play there.
00:08:48.775 --> 00:08:50.377
So, god is saying that
00:08:54.381 --> 00:08:55.882
So, god is saying that it'll be difficult
00:08:55.949 --> 00:08:57.050
It'll be difficult to fight this spirit
00:08:57.117 --> 00:08:59.753
To fight this spirit because most people
00:08:59.820 --> 00:09:01.388
Because most people when i'm talking about pride,
00:09:01.455 --> 00:09:03.156
When i'm talking about pride, your mind immediately says,
00:09:03.223 --> 00:09:05.692
Your mind immediately says, "they really need that.
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:07.160
"they really need that. i'm thinking of somebody
00:09:07.227 --> 00:09:08.762
I'm thinking of somebody who needs that.
00:09:08.829 --> 00:09:09.997
Who needs that. boy, i wish they
00:09:10.063 --> 00:09:11.198
Boy, i wish they could hear this."
00:09:11.264 --> 00:09:12.933
Could hear this." that's what you're gonna
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:13.600
That's what you're gonna be thinking while i'm preaching,
00:09:13.667 --> 00:09:16.470
Be thinking while i'm preaching, but you're in the wrong
00:09:16.536 --> 00:09:17.270
But you're in the wrong service today,
00:09:17.337 --> 00:09:18.705
Service today, and it's not gonna
00:09:18.772 --> 00:09:19.206
And it's not gonna take me long,
00:09:19.272 --> 00:09:20.007
Take me long, but i promise you.
00:09:20.073 --> 00:09:21.441
But i promise you. he gave job four questions,
00:09:21.508 --> 00:09:23.610
He gave job four questions, a pop quiz, and he said,
00:09:23.677 --> 00:09:26.146
A pop quiz, and he said, "if the characteristics
00:09:26.213 --> 00:09:27.914
"if the characteristics of leviathan,
00:09:27.981 --> 00:09:29.116
Of leviathan, the spirit of pride,
00:09:29.182 --> 00:09:30.317
The spirit of pride, are in your life,
00:09:30.384 --> 00:09:31.518
Are in your life, these are the ways
00:09:31.585 --> 00:09:33.620
These are the ways he will manifest."
00:09:33.687 --> 00:09:35.389
He will manifest." and he ask it in questions.
00:09:35.455 --> 00:09:38.025
And he ask it in questions. question number one,
00:09:38.091 --> 00:09:41.128
Question number one, "will he make many
00:09:41.194 --> 00:09:45.565
"will he make many supplications to you?"
00:09:45.632 --> 00:09:51.104
Supplications to you?" will he make many
00:09:51.171 --> 00:09:52.172
Will he make many supplications to you?
00:09:52.239 --> 00:09:54.374
Supplications to you? and the answer
00:09:54.441 --> 00:09:55.042
And the answer to all of these is no.
00:09:55.108 --> 00:09:57.344
To all of these is no. supplication is prayer.
00:09:57.411 --> 00:09:59.913
Supplication is prayer. a spirit of pride will
00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:02.382
A spirit of pride will never allow you to pray.
00:10:02.449 --> 00:10:04.718
Never allow you to pray. it wants to stop
00:10:04.785 --> 00:10:05.585
It wants to stop you from praying.
00:10:05.652 --> 00:10:06.820
You from praying. a person who does not pray,
00:10:06.887 --> 00:10:09.690
A person who does not pray, whether you're saved or unsaved,
00:10:09.756 --> 00:10:12.025
Whether you're saved or unsaved, there is a spirit of pride
00:10:12.092 --> 00:10:14.494
There is a spirit of pride that can get in
00:10:14.561 --> 00:10:15.529
That can get in you that says,
00:10:15.595 --> 00:10:16.363
You that says, "i don't have to pray."
00:10:16.430 --> 00:10:17.764
"i don't have to pray." the reason people don't
00:10:17.831 --> 00:10:18.498
The reason people don't pray is really,
00:10:18.565 --> 00:10:20.033
Pray is really, mentally they won't say this,
00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:22.335
Mentally they won't say this, but mentally they think
00:10:22.402 --> 00:10:23.603
But mentally they think they don't need to pray.
00:10:23.670 --> 00:10:25.539
They don't need to pray. they --
00:10:25.605 --> 00:10:26.239
They -- "i know what to do.
00:10:26.306 --> 00:10:28.241
"i know what to do. i'm talented, i'm educated,
00:10:28.308 --> 00:10:30.177
I'm talented, i'm educated, i'm smart,
00:10:30.243 --> 00:10:31.044
I'm smart, i gotta take care
00:10:31.111 --> 00:10:31.945
I gotta take care of my own business
00:10:32.012 --> 00:10:32.979
Of my own business and that's -- you know,
00:10:33.046 --> 00:10:34.114
And that's -- you know, i gotta do what i can do
00:10:34.181 --> 00:10:35.449
I gotta do what i can do and i gotta figure it out
00:10:35.515 --> 00:10:36.416
And i gotta figure it out and i got problems,
00:10:36.483 --> 00:10:37.417
And i got problems, but i gotta figure it out,
00:10:37.484 --> 00:10:38.552
But i gotta figure it out, and i got a --
00:10:38.618 --> 00:10:39.152
And i got a -- i can do this."
00:10:39.219 --> 00:10:40.787
I can do this." will he ask supplications?
00:10:40.854 --> 00:10:44.591
Will he ask supplications? the word supplication means
00:10:44.658 --> 00:10:46.059
The word supplication means to ask for help.
00:10:46.126 --> 00:10:47.427
To ask for help. and the answer is pride
00:10:47.494 --> 00:10:49.429
And the answer is pride will never pray.
00:10:49.496 --> 00:10:52.532
Will never pray. when you really are free
00:10:52.599 --> 00:10:54.201
When you really are free from that spirit of pride,
00:10:54.267 --> 00:10:56.336
From that spirit of pride, it makes you understand,
00:10:56.403 --> 00:10:59.039
It makes you understand, "i," jesus said,
00:10:59.106 --> 00:11:00.907
"i," jesus said, "am the vine and you
00:11:00.974 --> 00:11:02.175
"am the vine and you are the branches.
00:11:02.242 --> 00:11:03.343
Are the branches. and without me,
00:11:03.410 --> 00:11:04.644
And without me, you can do nothing.
00:11:04.711 --> 00:11:08.181
You can do nothing. and one of the sure signs
00:11:08.248 --> 00:11:10.851
And one of the sure signs that leviathan has a grip
00:11:10.917 --> 00:11:13.053
That leviathan has a grip in your life is when
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.721
In your life is when you no longer feel
00:11:14.788 --> 00:11:16.323
You no longer feel the need to pray.
00:11:16.389 --> 00:11:19.025
The need to pray. and it's alright,
00:11:19.092 --> 00:11:20.293
And it's alright, because god sent me
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:21.661
Because god sent me with the anointing to break
00:11:21.728 --> 00:11:22.763
With the anointing to break you free from that today.
00:11:22.829 --> 00:11:25.565
You free from that today. god's gonna put a hook
00:11:25.632 --> 00:11:26.566
God's gonna put a hook in his mouth.
00:11:26.633 --> 00:11:27.400
In his mouth. i can't do it,
00:11:27.467 --> 00:11:28.068
I can't do it, but god can.
00:11:28.135 --> 00:11:29.002
But god can. [applause]
00:11:29.069 --> 00:11:30.203
[applause] it's important to pray.
00:11:30.270 --> 00:11:35.942
It's important to pray. and he will resist,
00:11:36.009 --> 00:11:38.011
And he will resist, he will resist prayer.
00:11:38.078 --> 00:11:40.947
He will resist prayer. proud people don't pray,
00:11:41.014 --> 00:11:44.651
Proud people don't pray, they sense that they don't
00:11:44.718 --> 00:11:48.889
They sense that they don't have to ask for help.
00:11:48.955 --> 00:11:51.291
Have to ask for help. some of you are addicted
00:11:51.358 --> 00:11:52.926
Some of you are addicted and pride won't let you
00:11:52.993 --> 00:11:54.027
And pride won't let you ask for help.
00:11:54.094 --> 00:11:55.896
Ask for help. some of you are here today
00:11:55.962 --> 00:11:57.964
Some of you are here today and you're suicidal,
00:11:58.031 --> 00:11:59.466
And you're suicidal, and depressed,
00:11:59.533 --> 00:12:00.600
And depressed, and defeated mentally,
00:12:00.667 --> 00:12:02.636
And defeated mentally, and pride won't
00:12:02.702 --> 00:12:03.737
And pride won't let you ask for help,
00:12:03.804 --> 00:12:05.338
Let you ask for help, but supplication
00:12:05.405 --> 00:12:06.740
But supplication is to ask for help.
00:12:06.807 --> 00:12:08.842
Is to ask for help. it's why the scripture
00:12:08.909 --> 00:12:09.609
It's why the scripture said in ephesians 6,
00:12:09.676 --> 00:12:11.077
Said in ephesians 6, "praying with all prayers
00:12:11.144 --> 00:12:13.146
"praying with all prayers and supplication
00:12:13.213 --> 00:12:14.447
And supplication in the spirit.
00:12:14.514 --> 00:12:15.282
In the spirit. philippians 4:6,
00:12:15.348 --> 00:12:17.417
Philippians 4:6, "but in everything,
00:12:17.484 --> 00:12:18.552
"but in everything, by prayer and supplication,"
00:12:18.618 --> 00:12:20.921
By prayer and supplication," asking for help,
00:12:20.987 --> 00:12:21.988
Asking for help, "with thanksgiving,
00:12:22.055 --> 00:12:23.356
"with thanksgiving, let your request
00:12:23.423 --> 00:12:24.691
Let your request be known unto god."
00:12:24.758 --> 00:12:26.693
Be known unto god." but this leviathan spirit
00:12:26.760 --> 00:12:28.829
But this leviathan spirit hinders our prayers,
00:12:28.895 --> 00:12:31.097
Hinders our prayers, it restricts us
00:12:31.164 --> 00:12:33.266
It restricts us and causes us to stop --
00:12:33.333 --> 00:12:36.503
And causes us to stop -- to depend on the flesh
00:12:36.570 --> 00:12:38.071
To depend on the flesh instead of depending
00:12:38.138 --> 00:12:39.239
Instead of depending on prayer and asking
00:12:39.306 --> 00:12:41.174
On prayer and asking god for his help.
00:12:41.241 --> 00:12:44.277
God for his help. that is a sign that pride has
00:12:44.344 --> 00:12:49.115
That is a sign that pride has gotten its grip on your life.
00:12:49.182 --> 00:12:52.986
Gotten its grip on your life. "i don't need to make
00:12:53.053 --> 00:12:54.020
"i don't need to make supplication to god."
00:12:54.087 --> 00:12:56.690
Supplication to god." but the bible said this,
00:12:56.756 --> 00:12:59.125
But the bible said this, when you say that,
00:12:59.192 --> 00:13:00.460
When you say that, hebrews 5:7,
00:13:00.527 --> 00:13:01.995
Hebrews 5:7, "jesus made supplication
00:13:02.062 --> 00:13:04.431
"jesus made supplication with strong crying."
00:13:04.497 --> 00:13:08.235
With strong crying." prayers and supplication.
00:13:08.301 --> 00:13:09.836
Prayers and supplication. the son of god, god almighty,
00:13:09.903 --> 00:13:13.240
The son of god, god almighty, and he's praying
00:13:13.306 --> 00:13:15.041
And he's praying with supplication asking
00:13:15.108 --> 00:13:17.677
With supplication asking for god's help
00:13:17.744 --> 00:13:19.779
For god's help with strong crying and tears.
00:13:19.846 --> 00:13:22.716
With strong crying and tears. where has the prayer gone?
00:13:22.782 --> 00:13:24.484
Where has the prayer gone? why is the desperation
00:13:24.551 --> 00:13:26.453
Why is the desperation gone from the church?
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.257
Gone from the church? but pride says,
00:13:30.323 --> 00:13:32.025
But pride says, "i don't make supplication,
00:13:32.092 --> 00:13:33.426
"i don't make supplication, i don't feel the need to,
00:13:33.493 --> 00:13:34.794
I don't feel the need to, i don't need the help,
00:13:34.861 --> 00:13:36.029
I don't need the help, i can handle my own problems."
00:13:36.096 --> 00:13:38.098
I can handle my own problems." second question,
00:13:38.164 --> 00:13:40.200
Second question, he said, number one,
00:13:40.267 --> 00:13:41.768
He said, number one, "will he offer supplication?"
00:13:41.835 --> 00:13:43.136
"will he offer supplication?" the answer is no.
00:13:43.203 --> 00:13:44.104
The answer is no. notice the second
00:13:44.170 --> 00:13:45.338
Notice the second way pride manifests.
00:13:45.405 --> 00:13:46.907
Way pride manifests. leviathan's lurking,
00:13:46.973 --> 00:13:48.375
Leviathan's lurking, you can't see it on the surface.
00:13:48.441 --> 00:13:52.178
You can't see it on the surface. but the scripture said --
00:13:52.245 --> 00:13:53.046
But the scripture said -- he asked,
00:13:53.113 --> 00:13:54.114
He asked, "will he speak soft words?"
00:13:54.180 --> 00:13:57.517
"will he speak soft words?" in other words,
00:13:57.584 --> 00:14:00.053
In other words, i think i preached this in '99,
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.155
I think i preached this in '99, 25 years ago, right?
00:14:02.222 --> 00:14:04.891
25 years ago, right? this is crazy.
00:14:04.958 --> 00:14:06.426
This is crazy. one of the ways you can tell if
00:14:06.493 --> 00:14:08.428
One of the ways you can tell if leviathan is manifesting in your
00:14:08.495 --> 00:14:10.297
Leviathan is manifesting in your life is by the words
00:14:10.363 --> 00:14:12.799
Life is by the words that come out of your mouth.
00:14:12.866 --> 00:14:15.502
That come out of your mouth. when you become proud,
00:14:15.568 --> 00:14:18.204
When you become proud, you can't speak soft words,
00:14:18.271 --> 00:14:20.407
You can't speak soft words, kind words, gentle words.
00:14:20.473 --> 00:14:23.910
Kind words, gentle words. you can speak the truth in love,
00:14:23.977 --> 00:14:26.112
You can speak the truth in love, the bible said.
00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:27.647
The bible said. but proud people think that they
00:14:27.714 --> 00:14:29.516
But proud people think that they have a right to be harsh,
00:14:29.582 --> 00:14:32.252
Have a right to be harsh, and mean,
00:14:32.319 --> 00:14:33.386
And mean, and angry,
00:14:33.453 --> 00:14:34.921
And angry, and demeaning with words.
00:14:34.988 --> 00:14:39.726
And demeaning with words. it's angry,
00:14:39.793 --> 00:14:41.194
It's angry, it's, "i'm right and i'm," --
00:14:41.261 --> 00:14:44.064
It's, "i'm right and i'm," -- and he even
00:14:44.130 --> 00:14:44.931
And he even gave the illustration.
00:14:44.998 --> 00:14:46.199
Gave the illustration. did you read it where --
00:14:46.266 --> 00:14:47.434
Did you read it where -- in job where he said,
00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:48.601
In job where he said, "and fire comes out
00:14:48.668 --> 00:14:49.302
"and fire comes out of their mouth."
00:14:49.369 --> 00:14:50.470
Of their mouth." it's like a fire breathing
00:14:50.537 --> 00:14:51.404
It's like a fire breathing dragon when they
00:14:51.471 --> 00:14:52.272
Dragon when they walk in the room.
00:14:52.339 --> 00:14:54.140
Walk in the room. that's pride on somebody's life.
00:14:54.207 --> 00:14:57.177
That's pride on somebody's life. and just because you're --
00:14:57.243 --> 00:14:58.678
And just because you're -- the bible warns,
00:14:58.745 --> 00:14:59.646
The bible warns, it says in proverbs,
00:14:59.713 --> 00:15:01.448
It says in proverbs, "the rich man answers harshly."
00:15:01.514 --> 00:15:04.751
"the rich man answers harshly." there's a spirit about that
00:15:04.818 --> 00:15:05.952
There's a spirit about that that because i am so successful,
00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:08.955
That because i am so successful, i can talk to you any
00:15:09.022 --> 00:15:10.357
I can talk to you any way i wanna talk to you.
00:15:10.423 --> 00:15:12.792
Way i wanna talk to you. that's pride manifest.
00:15:12.859 --> 00:15:14.661
That's pride manifest. because i have a degree
00:15:14.728 --> 00:15:16.963
Because i have a degree or i have my this or that
00:15:17.030 --> 00:15:19.699
Or i have my this or that but never, ever, ever
00:15:19.766 --> 00:15:21.468
But never, ever, ever allow pride to make you
00:15:21.534 --> 00:15:23.169
Allow pride to make you feel like you are better
00:15:23.236 --> 00:15:24.971
Feel like you are better than anybody else,
00:15:25.038 --> 00:15:26.072
Than anybody else, that you are --
00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:27.173
That you are -- that they're so beneath you.
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.509
That they're so beneath you. that -- that is a evil,
00:15:29.576 --> 00:15:32.212
That -- that is a evil, wicked spirit,
00:15:32.278 --> 00:15:34.748
Wicked spirit, and it goes before destruction.
00:15:34.814 --> 00:15:37.317
And it goes before destruction. pride goes before destruction,
00:15:37.384 --> 00:15:39.319
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit
00:15:39.386 --> 00:15:40.453
And a haughty spirit before a downfall.
00:15:40.520 --> 00:15:43.123
Before a downfall. oh god.
00:15:43.189 --> 00:15:44.891
Oh god. and the way that i manifest that
00:15:44.958 --> 00:15:47.394
And the way that i manifest that is not only by prayerlessness,
00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:50.730
Is not only by prayerlessness, but i manifest pride
00:15:50.797 --> 00:15:52.699
But i manifest pride by harsh words,
00:15:52.766 --> 00:15:54.167
By harsh words, hard words,
00:15:54.234 --> 00:15:57.003
Hard words, speaking to people ugly,
00:15:57.070 --> 00:15:59.873
Speaking to people ugly, speaking to people --
00:15:59.939 --> 00:16:01.141
Speaking to people -- you have to say things
00:16:01.207 --> 00:16:03.309
You have to say things with the right spirit.
00:16:03.376 --> 00:16:06.179
With the right spirit. fire breathing dragons.
00:16:06.246 --> 00:16:10.083
Fire breathing dragons. the bible said,
00:16:10.150 --> 00:16:10.750
The bible said, "never give an office
00:16:10.817 --> 00:16:12.085
"never give an office to a novice lest they become
00:16:12.152 --> 00:16:14.254
To a novice lest they become puffed up and fall into
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:16.489
Puffed up and fall into the snare of the devil."
00:16:16.556 --> 00:16:17.924
The snare of the devil." what was the snare
00:16:17.991 --> 00:16:18.825
What was the snare of the devil?
00:16:18.892 --> 00:16:19.559
Of the devil? pride.
00:16:19.626 --> 00:16:20.593
Pride. that's why god took a whole
00:16:20.660 --> 00:16:22.862
That's why god took a whole chapter and he said,
00:16:22.929 --> 00:16:23.897
Chapter and he said, "i wanna break down
00:16:23.963 --> 00:16:24.664
"i wanna break down and warn people.
00:16:24.731 --> 00:16:25.732
And warn people. once they get in the water,
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:27.167
Once they get in the water, once they get in the church,
00:16:27.233 --> 00:16:28.935
Once they get in the church, once they get washed
00:16:29.002 --> 00:16:30.236
Once they get washed and baptized in water,
00:16:30.303 --> 00:16:32.005
And baptized in water, that it's possible that
00:16:32.072 --> 00:16:33.473
That it's possible that the enemy will come back
00:16:33.540 --> 00:16:35.875
The enemy will come back into their life,
00:16:35.942 --> 00:16:36.776
Into their life, submerged, low,
00:16:36.843 --> 00:16:39.179
Submerged, low, and he's there
00:16:39.245 --> 00:16:40.046
And he's there and he's subtle,
00:16:40.113 --> 00:16:41.714
And he's subtle, and he starts through pride,
00:16:41.781 --> 00:16:44.150
And he starts through pride, and it shows up first
00:16:44.217 --> 00:16:45.518
And it shows up first through prayerlessness
00:16:45.585 --> 00:16:47.687
Through prayerlessness and then it shows up
00:16:47.754 --> 00:16:48.688
And then it shows up through harsh words.
00:16:48.755 --> 00:16:52.225
Through harsh words. you can tell if a person
00:16:52.292 --> 00:16:53.693
You can tell if a person is proud by the way they talk.
00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:57.163
Is proud by the way they talk. and i'm praying today,
00:16:57.230 --> 00:16:58.064
And i'm praying today, "god, forgive us
00:16:58.131 --> 00:16:59.032
"god, forgive us and forgive me."
00:16:59.099 --> 00:17:00.934
And forgive me." i don't know about you,
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:01.634
I don't know about you, i'll talk about me.
00:17:01.701 --> 00:17:03.703
I'll talk about me. oh god, i don't want pride
00:17:03.770 --> 00:17:06.873
Oh god, i don't want pride to be heard in my conversations.
00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:09.909
To be heard in my conversations. the more he trusts us,
00:17:09.976 --> 00:17:11.277
The more he trusts us, the more he blesses us,
00:17:11.344 --> 00:17:13.313
The more he blesses us, he does not want it
00:17:13.379 --> 00:17:14.447
He does not want it to make us arrogant
00:17:14.514 --> 00:17:16.116
To make us arrogant and harsh with people.
00:17:16.182 --> 00:17:21.454
And harsh with people. then he gives a third question.
00:17:21.521 --> 00:17:23.490
Then he gives a third question. verse 4,
00:17:23.556 --> 00:17:24.657
Verse 4, "will he make a covenant
00:17:24.724 --> 00:17:26.326
"will he make a covenant with thee?"
00:17:26.392 --> 00:17:28.561
With thee?" no.
00:17:28.628 --> 00:17:30.964
No. no.
00:17:31.030 --> 00:17:32.799
No. no, he will not.
00:17:32.866 --> 00:17:35.668
No, he will not. he's a covenant breaker.
00:17:35.735 --> 00:17:38.238
He's a covenant breaker. the spirit of pride does
00:17:38.304 --> 00:17:40.140
The spirit of pride does not keep covenant.
00:17:40.206 --> 00:17:42.342
Not keep covenant. marriage is a covenant.
00:17:42.408 --> 00:17:44.544
Marriage is a covenant. the new testament,
00:17:44.611 --> 00:17:46.012
The new testament, the word of god is a covenant.
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:48.982
The word of god is a covenant. the first covenant god ever made
00:17:49.048 --> 00:17:51.251
The first covenant god ever made with man was through noah
00:17:51.317 --> 00:17:53.486
With man was through noah and noah's ark
00:17:53.553 --> 00:17:54.487
And noah's ark and he said the sign
00:17:54.554 --> 00:17:55.255
And he said the sign of the covenant is the rainbow,
00:17:55.321 --> 00:17:58.024
Of the covenant is the rainbow, but a group of people
00:17:58.091 --> 00:17:58.925
But a group of people called "gay pride,"
00:17:58.992 --> 00:18:04.531
Called "gay pride," has taken the rainbow
00:18:04.597 --> 00:18:07.534
Has taken the rainbow and made it their symbol.
00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:10.870
And made it their symbol. i mean, just the name,
00:18:10.937 --> 00:18:12.572
I mean, just the name, "gay pride."
00:18:12.639 --> 00:18:14.774
"gay pride." and god's warning that
00:18:14.841 --> 00:18:16.042
And god's warning that the number one spirit
00:18:16.109 --> 00:18:18.945
The number one spirit that will cause a fall
00:18:19.012 --> 00:18:20.613
That will cause a fall and cause destruction
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.216
And cause destruction is when pride says --
00:18:23.283 --> 00:18:25.785
Is when pride says -- and the bible said the pride
00:18:25.852 --> 00:18:27.487
And the bible said the pride gets so big that it creates
00:18:27.554 --> 00:18:32.559
Gets so big that it creates scales and the scales like lust,
00:18:32.625 --> 00:18:36.729
Scales and the scales like lust, and perversion,
00:18:36.796 --> 00:18:37.964
And perversion, and offence,
00:18:38.031 --> 00:18:42.402
And offence, and gossip,
00:18:42.468 --> 00:18:44.804
And gossip, and lying,
00:18:44.871 --> 00:18:47.840
And lying, and these scales
00:18:47.907 --> 00:18:49.442
And these scales get so tight together.
00:18:49.509 --> 00:18:52.278
Get so tight together. he even said the heart
00:18:52.345 --> 00:18:53.880
He even said the heart is so hard,
00:18:53.947 --> 00:18:54.914
Is so hard, his heart is a stone,
00:18:54.981 --> 00:18:56.482
His heart is a stone, that the air --
00:18:56.549 --> 00:18:58.084
That the air -- did you read the verse?
00:18:58.151 --> 00:18:59.185
Did you read the verse? the air cannot get in.
00:18:59.252 --> 00:19:02.422
The air cannot get in. the air represents the breath,
00:19:02.488 --> 00:19:04.390
The air represents the breath, the holy spirit.
00:19:04.457 --> 00:19:06.626
The holy spirit. genesis, god breathed breath
00:19:06.693 --> 00:19:08.494
Genesis, god breathed breath into the nostrils of man.
00:19:08.561 --> 00:19:11.798
Into the nostrils of man. john 20, jesus breathed on them
00:19:11.864 --> 00:19:15.368
John 20, jesus breathed on them and they received --
00:19:15.435 --> 00:19:16.236
And they received -- it said received the holy ghost.
00:19:16.302 --> 00:19:18.137
It said received the holy ghost. acts 2, the upper room.
00:19:18.204 --> 00:19:20.473
Acts 2, the upper room. there came a mighty,
00:19:20.540 --> 00:19:21.941
There came a mighty, rushing wind.
00:19:22.008 --> 00:19:22.942
Rushing wind. but when this kind of spirit
00:19:23.009 --> 00:19:25.211
But when this kind of spirit gets a hold of you
00:19:25.278 --> 00:19:26.079
Gets a hold of you and you're prayerless,
00:19:26.145 --> 00:19:27.347
And you're prayerless, you don't pray,
00:19:27.413 --> 00:19:28.147
You don't pray, you don't ask god for help,
00:19:28.214 --> 00:19:30.016
You don't ask god for help, and you have harsh words,
00:19:30.083 --> 00:19:31.317
And you have harsh words, and you're cussing
00:19:31.384 --> 00:19:32.051
And you're cussing everybody out,
00:19:32.118 --> 00:19:33.720
Everybody out, and you're saying whatever--
00:19:33.786 --> 00:19:34.420
And you're saying whatever-- "i don't care
00:19:34.487 --> 00:19:35.054
"i don't care what nobody thinks,"
00:19:35.121 --> 00:19:37.390
What nobody thinks," you have leviathan.
00:19:37.457 --> 00:19:41.995
You have leviathan. and then on top of that,
00:19:42.061 --> 00:19:43.730
And then on top of that, he becomes a covenant breaker.
00:19:43.796 --> 00:19:47.967
He becomes a covenant breaker. they asked jesus.
00:19:48.034 --> 00:19:49.269
They asked jesus. they said,
00:19:49.335 --> 00:19:50.203
They said, "moses and the law said
00:19:50.270 --> 00:19:51.704
"moses and the law said we can divorce our wife
00:19:51.771 --> 00:19:53.573
We can divorce our wife if we don't like her.
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.441
If we don't like her. what do you say?"
00:19:55.508 --> 00:19:57.076
What do you say?" and jesus said these words,
00:19:57.143 --> 00:19:58.511
And jesus said these words, he said,
00:19:58.578 --> 00:19:59.379
He said, "he told them that
00:19:59.445 --> 00:20:00.480
"he told them that because of the hardness
00:20:00.546 --> 00:20:02.615
Because of the hardness of their hearts."
00:20:02.682 --> 00:20:06.819
Of their hearts." oh lord, have mercy.
00:20:06.886 --> 00:20:09.422
Oh lord, have mercy. it's a --
00:20:09.489 --> 00:20:10.256
It's a -- see, marriage is covenant.
00:20:10.323 --> 00:20:14.527
See, marriage is covenant. but when pride starts
00:20:14.594 --> 00:20:16.229
But when pride starts getting in a marriage,
00:20:16.296 --> 00:20:17.730
Getting in a marriage, you start saying,
00:20:17.797 --> 00:20:18.431
You start saying, "i don't have to put
00:20:18.498 --> 00:20:19.299
"i don't have to put up with this,
00:20:19.365 --> 00:20:20.767
Up with this, i don't have to talk to you,
00:20:20.833 --> 00:20:22.201
I don't have to talk to you, i don't have to be around you,
00:20:22.268 --> 00:20:23.836
I don't have to be around you, i don't have to do that."
00:20:23.903 --> 00:20:25.138
I don't have to do that." that's pride, folks.
00:20:25.204 --> 00:20:28.207
That's pride, folks. and i'm preaching today because
00:20:28.274 --> 00:20:29.776
And i'm preaching today because i don't know any other way to do
00:20:29.842 --> 00:20:31.444
I don't know any other way to do but preach what the bible says
00:20:31.511 --> 00:20:33.913
But preach what the bible says 'cause the bible's right
00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:34.881
'cause the bible's right and our attitudes are wrong.
00:20:34.947 --> 00:20:37.283
And our attitudes are wrong. and when we got harsh words,
00:20:37.350 --> 00:20:39.686
And when we got harsh words, and when we got no prayer,
00:20:39.752 --> 00:20:41.854
And when we got no prayer, and now we're covenant breakers,
00:20:41.921 --> 00:20:44.624
And now we're covenant breakers, covenant breakers.
00:20:44.691 --> 00:20:46.426
Covenant breakers. marriage covenants begin
00:20:46.492 --> 00:20:47.593
Marriage covenants begin to be broken,
00:20:47.660 --> 00:20:49.729
To be broken, and that's where
00:20:49.796 --> 00:20:50.296
And that's where uncleanness comes in.
00:20:50.363 --> 00:20:52.098
Uncleanness comes in. the lust -- jesus said the devil
00:20:52.165 --> 00:20:53.599
The lust -- jesus said the devil only has three weapons.
00:20:53.666 --> 00:20:55.234
Only has three weapons. it will never change.
00:20:55.301 --> 00:20:56.803
It will never change. he always comes with the lust
00:20:56.869 --> 00:20:58.871
He always comes with the lust of the eyes,
00:20:58.938 --> 00:20:59.872
Of the eyes, the lust of the flesh,
00:20:59.939 --> 00:21:01.307
The lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
00:21:01.374 --> 00:21:05.144
And the pride of life. and so, what these spirits do
00:21:05.211 --> 00:21:06.946
And so, what these spirits do is they gather around him
00:21:07.013 --> 00:21:09.682
Is they gather around him and they --
00:21:09.749 --> 00:21:10.350
And they -- lust comes,
00:21:10.416 --> 00:21:11.684
Lust comes, and bitterness comes,
00:21:11.751 --> 00:21:14.220
And bitterness comes, and unforgiveness comes,
00:21:14.287 --> 00:21:15.822
And unforgiveness comes, and malice comes,
00:21:15.888 --> 00:21:17.256
And malice comes, and hatred comes,
00:21:17.323 --> 00:21:18.725
And hatred comes, and unforgiveness comes,
00:21:18.791 --> 00:21:20.526
And unforgiveness comes, and they just --
00:21:20.593 --> 00:21:21.728
And they just -- they seal things up
00:21:21.794 --> 00:21:23.496
They seal things up so that the wind
00:21:23.563 --> 00:21:24.864
So that the wind of the spirit --
00:21:24.931 --> 00:21:25.798
Of the spirit -- you can't even talk to people
00:21:25.865 --> 00:21:27.533
You can't even talk to people 'cause you're so offended
00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:28.868
'cause you're so offended to them,
00:21:28.935 --> 00:21:29.635
To them, you can't even get around them,
00:21:29.702 --> 00:21:31.170
You can't even get around them, and what has to happen --
00:21:31.237 --> 00:21:33.139
And what has to happen -- and you can't deliver
00:21:33.206 --> 00:21:34.073
And you can't deliver yourself from this stuff.
00:21:34.140 --> 00:21:35.341

Hook and pull it out?" no, it takes god,
00:21:38.411 --> 00:21:40.580
No, it takes god, it takes a move of the spirit.
00:21:40.646 --> 00:21:42.415
It takes a move of the spirit. god said,
00:21:42.482 --> 00:21:43.049
God said, "i've got a hook and i can
00:21:43.116 --> 00:21:44.517
"i've got a hook and i can put it in the jaw of that demon,
00:21:44.584 --> 00:21:46.919
Put it in the jaw of that demon, and i can pull it
00:21:46.986 --> 00:21:48.421
And i can pull it out of you,
00:21:48.488 --> 00:21:49.122
Out of you, all that hurt,
00:21:49.188 --> 00:21:50.456
All that hurt, all that stuff,
00:21:50.523 --> 00:21:51.491
All that stuff, and you become humble enough
00:21:51.557 --> 00:21:53.860
And you become humble enough to say, "i'm sorry.
