What blocks it? what shields it?

What shields it? but it's even much more
00:05:07.553 --> 00:05:09.021
But it's even much more practical than that.
00:05:09.088 --> 00:05:11.090
Practical than that. leviathan is mentioned five
00:05:11.157 --> 00:05:12.925
Leviathan is mentioned five times in the scriptures.
00:05:12.992 --> 00:05:15.027

A lot of people don't like to talk about the devil
00:05:34.981 --> 00:05:35.882

00:05:52.598 --> 00:05:54.767
Principalities and powers." and in this remarkable chapter,
00:05:54.834 --> 00:05:56.903
And in this remarkable chapter, god said to job right
00:05:56.969 --> 00:06:00.139
God said to job right before his breakthrough,
00:06:00.206 --> 00:06:01.808
Before his breakthrough, "i want you to understand even
00:06:01.874 --> 00:06:03.609
"i want you to understand even though you think
00:06:03.676 --> 00:06:05.077
Though you think this spirit has not been
00:06:05.144 --> 00:06:07.914
This spirit has not been involved in your life,
00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:09.715
Involved in your life, it has been."
00:06:09.782 --> 00:06:10.516
It has been." and i'm gonna ask you
00:06:10.583 --> 00:06:11.451
And i'm gonna ask you a pop quiz,
00:06:11.517 --> 00:06:12.585
A pop quiz, and i'm gonna give you
00:06:12.652 --> 00:06:13.519
And i'm gonna give you four questions that will reveal
00:06:13.586 --> 00:06:15.588
Four questions that will reveal whether or not the spirit
00:06:15.655 --> 00:06:17.657
Whether or not the spirit of leviathan,
00:06:17.723 --> 00:06:19.125
Of leviathan, which is a water creature,
00:06:19.192 --> 00:06:20.960
Which is a water creature, which in other words,
00:06:21.027 --> 00:06:22.462
Which in other words, he lurks,
00:06:22.528 --> 00:06:24.397
He lurks, he lurks at the bottom.
00:06:24.464 --> 00:06:26.065
He lurks at the bottom. you can't see him,
00:06:26.132 --> 00:06:26.999
You can't see him, he's in the murky water.
00:06:27.066 --> 00:06:29.101
He's in the murky water. this spirit
00:06:29.168 --> 00:06:29.735
This spirit operates among water.
00:06:29.802 --> 00:06:32.738
Operates among water. water is symbolic of the spirit,
00:06:32.805 --> 00:06:35.308
Water is symbolic of the spirit, water is symbolic
00:06:35.374 --> 00:06:36.576
Water is symbolic of where the spirit moves.
00:06:36.642 --> 00:06:38.778
Of where the spirit moves. water means that
00:06:38.845 --> 00:06:40.313
Water means that he is attracted --
00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:41.647
He is attracted -- there's actually a verse that
00:06:41.714 --> 00:06:43.349
There's actually a verse that says he likes to play in
00:06:43.416 --> 00:06:45.318
Says he likes to play in the water,
00:06:45.384 --> 00:06:46.018
The water, names him,
00:06:46.085 --> 00:06:46.619
Names him, calls him leviathan.
00:06:46.686 --> 00:06:47.687
Calls him leviathan. maybe they can throw that
00:06:47.753 --> 00:06:48.354
Maybe they can throw that scripture up.
00:06:48.421 --> 00:06:49.222
Scripture up. and it says that's where
00:06:49.288 --> 00:06:50.790
And it says that's where he likes to play,
00:06:50.857 --> 00:06:52.992
He likes to play, down lurking in the water.
00:06:53.059 --> 00:06:56.195
Down lurking in the water. lurking and playing
00:06:56.262 --> 00:06:57.830
Lurking and playing in the water.
00:06:57.897 --> 00:07:00.166
In the water. and so, this spirit
00:07:00.233 --> 00:07:03.169
And so, this spirit is one that the church
00:07:03.236 --> 00:07:04.637
Is one that the church deals with.
00:07:04.704 --> 00:07:06.138
Deals with. this spirit is one
00:07:06.205 --> 00:07:07.507
This spirit is one that ministries and christians
00:07:07.573 --> 00:07:09.542
That ministries and christians have to deal with.
00:07:09.609 --> 00:07:11.410
Have to deal with. this one is sneaky
00:07:11.477 --> 00:07:13.279
This one is sneaky and it lurks in the bottom,
00:07:13.346 --> 00:07:16.516
And it lurks in the bottom, and it can get a grip
00:07:16.582 --> 00:07:17.984
And it can get a grip in your life.
00:07:18.050 --> 00:07:18.651
In your life. the name leviathan literally
00:07:18.718 --> 00:07:20.419
The name leviathan literally means to trick or to twist.
00:07:20.486 --> 00:07:26.292
Means to trick or to twist. to twist and to coil.
00:07:26.359 --> 00:07:29.862
To twist and to coil. one commentary said it's like a
00:07:29.929 --> 00:07:33.966
One commentary said it's like a corkscrew that you
00:07:34.033 --> 00:07:35.768
Corkscrew that you put in a cork.
00:07:35.835 --> 00:07:37.169
Put in a cork. once it's in there,
00:07:37.236 --> 00:07:38.905
Once it's in there, it's extremely hard
00:07:38.971 --> 00:07:41.240
It's extremely hard to get out and to pull out.
00:07:41.307 --> 00:07:43.910
To get out and to pull out. and notice,
00:07:43.976 --> 00:07:44.577
And notice, that's why god
00:07:44.644 --> 00:07:45.611
That's why god starts the conversation,
00:07:45.678 --> 00:07:47.313
Starts the conversation, and he says,
00:07:47.380 --> 00:07:47.880
And he says, "job, can you just take
00:07:47.947 --> 00:07:49.549
"job, can you just take a hook and pull him
00:07:49.615 --> 00:07:50.816
A hook and pull him out of the water?"
00:07:50.883 --> 00:07:52.251
Out of the water?" and the answer is no.
00:07:52.318 --> 00:07:54.053
And the answer is no. the bible says pride
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:55.221
The bible says pride goes before a fall,
00:07:55.288 --> 00:07:57.657
Goes before a fall, and destruction haughty --
00:07:57.723 --> 00:07:59.959
And destruction haughty -- a haughty spirit
00:08:00.026 --> 00:08:01.427
A haughty spirit before destruction.
00:08:01.494 --> 00:08:02.828
Before destruction. destruction is a bad thing,
00:08:02.895 --> 00:08:05.231
Destruction is a bad thing, and i've watched it,
00:08:05.298 --> 00:08:06.399
And i've watched it, i've watched it
00:08:06.465 --> 00:08:07.066
I've watched it in others.
00:08:07.133 --> 00:08:07.700
In others. and i'm not preaching
00:08:07.767 --> 00:08:08.501
And i'm not preaching to you today only,
00:08:08.568 --> 00:08:11.437
To you today only, i'm preaching to me
00:08:11.504 --> 00:08:13.539
I'm preaching to me that this is something
00:08:13.606 --> 00:08:14.607
That this is something we must be aware of,
00:08:14.674 --> 00:08:15.942
We must be aware of, this is something
00:08:16.008 --> 00:08:16.842
This is something we must guard,
00:08:16.909 --> 00:08:18.778
We must guard, this will ruin
00:08:18.844 --> 00:08:20.379
This will ruin your marriage,
00:08:20.446 --> 00:08:21.213
Your marriage, this will ruin your family,
00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:23.349
This will ruin your family, this will ruin your success,
00:08:23.416 --> 00:08:25.418
This will ruin your success, this will ruin your vision,
00:08:25.484 --> 00:08:27.486
This will ruin your vision, this will wipe you out.
00:08:27.553 --> 00:08:29.288
This will wipe you out. this is a big deal.
00:08:29.355 --> 00:08:30.222
This is a big deal. when he calls it a king,
00:08:30.289 --> 00:08:31.657
When he calls it a king, he's saying this is
00:08:31.724 --> 00:08:32.525
He's saying this is a ruling spirit that
00:08:32.592 --> 00:08:34.894
A ruling spirit that every church, every person
00:08:34.961 --> 00:08:37.630
Every church, every person who's involved in the water,
00:08:37.697 --> 00:08:39.865
Who's involved in the water, the moving of the holy spirit.
00:08:39.932 --> 00:08:41.934
The moving of the holy spirit. because you're anointed
00:08:42.001 --> 00:08:44.203
Because you're anointed and the spirit is moving,
00:08:44.270 --> 00:08:45.638
And the spirit is moving, that does not
00:08:45.705 --> 00:08:46.472
That does not mean that this spirit --
00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:48.474
Mean that this spirit -- he's attracted,
00:08:48.541 --> 00:08:49.408
He's attracted, he likes to play there.
00:08:49.475 --> 00:08:51.077
So, god is saying that
00:08:55.081 --> 00:08:56.148
So, god is saying that it'll be difficult
00:08:56.215 --> 00:08:57.316
It'll be difficult to fight this spirit
00:08:57.383 --> 00:09:00.019
To fight this spirit because most people
00:09:00.086 --> 00:09:01.654
Because most people when i'm talking about pride,
00:09:01.721 --> 00:09:03.422
When i'm talking about pride, your mind immediately says,
00:09:03.489 --> 00:09:05.958
Your mind immediately says, "they really need that.
00:09:06.025 --> 00:09:07.426
"they really need that. i'm thinking of somebody
00:09:07.493 --> 00:09:09.028
I'm thinking of somebody who needs that.
00:09:09.095 --> 00:09:10.262
Who needs that. boy, i wish they
00:09:10.329 --> 00:09:11.464
Boy, i wish they could hear this."
00:09:11.530 --> 00:09:13.199
Could hear this." that's what you're gonna
00:09:13.265 --> 00:09:13.866
That's what you're gonna be thinking while i'm preaching,
00:09:13.933 --> 00:09:16.736
Be thinking while i'm preaching, but you're in the wrong
00:09:16.802 --> 00:09:17.536
But you're in the wrong service today,
00:09:17.603 --> 00:09:18.971
Service today, and it's not gonna
00:09:19.038 --> 00:09:19.472
And it's not gonna take me long,
00:09:19.538 --> 00:09:20.272
Take me long, but i promise you.
00:09:20.339 --> 00:09:21.707
But i promise you. he gave job four questions,
00:09:21.774 --> 00:09:23.876
He gave job four questions, a pop quiz, and he said,
00:09:23.943 --> 00:09:26.412
A pop quiz, and he said, "if the characteristics
00:09:26.479 --> 00:09:28.180
"if the characteristics of leviathan,
00:09:28.247 --> 00:09:29.382
Of leviathan, the spirit of pride,
00:09:29.448 --> 00:09:30.583
The spirit of pride, are in your life,
00:09:30.650 --> 00:09:31.784
Are in your life, these are the ways

These are the ways he will manifest."
00:09:33.953 --> 00:09:35.655
He will manifest." and he ask it in questions.
00:09:35.721 --> 00:09:38.290
And he ask it in questions. question number one,
00:09:38.357 --> 00:09:41.394
Question number one, "will he make many
00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:45.831
"will he make many supplications to you?"
00:09:45.898 --> 00:09:51.370
Supplications to you?" will he make many
00:09:51.437 --> 00:09:52.438
Will he make many supplications to you?
00:09:52.505 --> 00:09:54.640
Supplications to you? and the answer
00:09:54.707 --> 00:09:55.307
And the answer to all of these is no.
00:09:55.374 --> 00:09:57.610
To all of these is no. supplication is prayer.
00:09:57.677 --> 00:10:00.179
Supplication is prayer. a spirit of pride will
00:10:00.246 --> 00:10:02.648
A spirit of pride will never allow you to pray.
00:10:02.715 --> 00:10:04.984
Never allow you to pray. it wants to stop
00:10:05.051 --> 00:10:05.851
It wants to stop you from praying.
00:10:05.918 --> 00:10:07.086
You from praying. a person who does not pray,
00:10:07.153 --> 00:10:09.955
A person who does not pray, whether you're saved or unsaved,
00:10:10.022 --> 00:10:12.291
Whether you're saved or unsaved, there is a spirit of pride
00:10:12.358 --> 00:10:14.760
There is a spirit of pride that can get in
00:10:14.827 --> 00:10:15.795
That can get in you that says,
00:10:15.861 --> 00:10:16.629
You that says, "i don't have to pray."
00:10:16.696 --> 00:10:18.030
"i don't have to pray." the reason people don't
00:10:18.097 --> 00:10:18.764
The reason people don't pray is really,
00:10:18.831 --> 00:10:20.299
Pray is really, mentally they won't say this,
00:10:20.366 --> 00:10:22.601
Mentally they won't say this, but mentally they think
00:10:22.668 --> 00:10:23.869
But mentally they think they don't need to pray.
00:10:23.936 --> 00:10:25.805
They don't need to pray. they --
00:10:25.871 --> 00:10:26.505
They -- "i know what to do.
00:10:26.572 --> 00:10:28.507
"i know what to do. i'm talented, i'm educated,
00:10:28.574 --> 00:10:30.443
I'm talented, i'm educated, i'm smart,
00:10:30.509 --> 00:10:31.310
I'm smart, i gotta take care
00:10:31.377 --> 00:10:32.211
I gotta take care of my own business
00:10:32.278 --> 00:10:33.245
Of my own business and that's -- you know,
00:10:33.312 --> 00:10:34.380
And that's -- you know, i gotta do what i can do
00:10:34.447 --> 00:10:35.715
I gotta do what i can do and i gotta figure it out
00:10:35.781 --> 00:10:36.682
And i gotta figure it out and i got problems,
00:10:36.749 --> 00:10:37.683
And i got problems, but i gotta figure it out,
00:10:37.750 --> 00:10:38.818
But i gotta figure it out, and i got a --
00:10:38.884 --> 00:10:39.418
And i got a -- i can do this."
00:10:39.485 --> 00:10:41.053
I can do this." will he ask supplications?
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.857
Will he ask supplications? the word supplication means
00:10:44.924 --> 00:10:46.325
The word supplication means to ask for help.
00:10:46.392 --> 00:10:47.693
To ask for help. and the answer is pride
00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:49.695
And the answer is pride will never pray.
00:10:49.762 --> 00:10:52.798
Will never pray. when you really are free
00:10:52.865 --> 00:10:54.467
When you really are free from that spirit of pride,
00:10:54.533 --> 00:10:56.602
From that spirit of pride, it makes you understand,
00:10:56.669 --> 00:10:59.305
It makes you understand, "i," jesus said,
00:10:59.371 --> 00:11:01.173
"i," jesus said, "am the vine and you
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.441
"am the vine and you are the branches.
00:11:02.508 --> 00:11:03.609
Are the branches. and without me,
00:11:03.676 --> 00:11:04.910
And without me, you can do nothing.
00:11:04.977 --> 00:11:08.447
You can do nothing. and one of the sure signs
00:11:08.514 --> 00:11:11.117
And one of the sure signs that leviathan has a grip
00:11:11.183 --> 00:11:13.319
That leviathan has a grip in your life is when
00:11:13.385 --> 00:11:14.987
In your life is when you no longer feel
00:11:15.054 --> 00:11:16.589
You no longer feel the need to pray.
00:11:16.655 --> 00:11:19.291
The need to pray. and it's alright,
00:11:19.358 --> 00:11:20.559
And it's alright, because god sent me
00:11:20.626 --> 00:11:21.927
Because god sent me with the anointing to break
00:11:21.994 --> 00:11:23.028
With the anointing to break you free from that today.
00:11:23.095 --> 00:11:25.831
You free from that today. god's gonna put a hook
00:11:25.898 --> 00:11:26.832
God's gonna put a hook in his mouth.
00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:27.666
In his mouth. i can't do it,
00:11:27.733 --> 00:11:28.334
I can't do it, but god can.
00:11:28.400 --> 00:11:29.268
But god can. [applause]
00:11:29.335 --> 00:11:30.469
[applause] it's important to pray.
00:11:30.536 --> 00:11:36.208
It's important to pray. and he will resist,
00:11:36.275 --> 00:11:38.277
And he will resist, he will resist prayer.
00:11:38.344 --> 00:11:41.213
He will resist prayer. proud people don't pray,
00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:44.917
Proud people don't pray, they sense that they don't
00:11:44.984 --> 00:11:49.155
They sense that they don't have to ask for help.
00:11:49.221 --> 00:11:51.557
Have to ask for help. some of you are addicted
00:11:51.624 --> 00:11:53.192
Some of you are addicted and pride won't let you
00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:54.293
And pride won't let you ask for help.
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.162
Ask for help. some of you are here today
00:11:56.228 --> 00:11:58.230
Some of you are here today and you're suicidal,
00:11:58.297 --> 00:11:59.732
And you're suicidal, and depressed,
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:00.866
And depressed, and defeated mentally,
00:12:00.933 --> 00:12:02.902
And defeated mentally, and pride won't
00:12:02.968 --> 00:12:04.003
And pride won't let you ask for help,
00:12:04.069 --> 00:12:05.604
Let you ask for help, but supplication
00:12:05.671 --> 00:12:07.006
But supplication is to ask for help.
00:12:07.072 --> 00:12:09.108
Is to ask for help. it's why the scripture
00:12:09.175 --> 00:12:09.875
It's why the scripture said in ephesians 6,
00:12:09.942 --> 00:12:11.343
Said in ephesians 6, "praying with all prayers
00:12:11.410 --> 00:12:13.412
"praying with all prayers and supplication
00:12:13.479 --> 00:12:14.713
And supplication in the spirit.
00:12:14.780 --> 00:12:15.548
In the spirit. philippians 4:6,
00:12:15.614 --> 00:12:17.683
Philippians 4:6, "but in everything,
00:12:17.750 --> 00:12:18.818
"but in everything, by prayer and supplication,"
00:12:18.884 --> 00:12:21.187
By prayer and supplication," asking for help,
00:12:21.253 --> 00:12:22.254
Asking for help, "with thanksgiving,
00:12:22.321 --> 00:12:23.622
"with thanksgiving, let your request
00:12:23.689 --> 00:12:24.957
Let your request be known unto god."
00:12:25.024 --> 00:12:26.959
Be known unto god." but this leviathan spirit
00:12:27.026 --> 00:12:29.094
But this leviathan spirit hinders our prayers,
00:12:29.161 --> 00:12:31.363
Hinders our prayers, it restricts us
00:12:31.430 --> 00:12:33.532
It restricts us and causes us to stop --
00:12:33.599 --> 00:12:36.769
And causes us to stop -- to depend on the flesh
00:12:36.836 --> 00:12:38.337
To depend on the flesh instead of depending
00:12:38.404 --> 00:12:39.505
Instead of depending on prayer and asking
00:12:39.572 --> 00:12:41.440
On prayer and asking god for his help.
00:12:41.507 --> 00:12:44.543
God for his help. that is a sign that pride has
00:12:44.610 --> 00:12:49.381
That is a sign that pride has gotten its grip on your life.
00:12:49.448 --> 00:12:53.252
Gotten its grip on your life. "i don't need to make
00:12:53.319 --> 00:12:54.286
"i don't need to make supplication to god."
00:12:54.353 --> 00:12:56.956
Supplication to god." but the bible said this,
00:12:57.022 --> 00:12:59.391
But the bible said this, when you say that,
00:12:59.458 --> 00:13:00.726
When you say that, hebrews 5:7,
00:13:00.793 --> 00:13:02.261
Hebrews 5:7, "jesus made supplication
00:13:02.328 --> 00:13:04.697
"jesus made supplication with strong crying."
00:13:04.763 --> 00:13:08.500
With strong crying." prayers and supplication.
00:13:08.567 --> 00:13:10.102
Prayers and supplication. the son of god, god almighty,
00:13:10.169 --> 00:13:13.505
The son of god, god almighty, and he's praying
00:13:13.572 --> 00:13:15.307
And he's praying with supplication asking
00:13:15.374 --> 00:13:17.943
With supplication asking for god's help
00:13:18.010 --> 00:13:20.045
For god's help with strong crying and tears.
00:13:20.112 --> 00:13:22.982
With strong crying and tears. where has the prayer gone?
00:13:23.048 --> 00:13:24.750
Where has the prayer gone? why is the desperation
00:13:24.817 --> 00:13:26.719
Why is the desperation gone from the church?
00:13:26.785 --> 00:13:30.522
Gone from the church? but pride says,
00:13:30.589 --> 00:13:32.291
But pride says, "i don't make supplication,
00:13:32.358 --> 00:13:33.692
"i don't make supplication, i don't feel the need to,
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.060
I don't feel the need to, i don't need the help,
00:13:35.127 --> 00:13:36.295
I don't need the help, i can handle my own problems."
00:13:36.362 --> 00:13:38.364
I can handle my own problems." second question,
00:13:38.430 --> 00:13:40.466
Second question, he said, number one,
00:13:40.532 --> 00:13:42.034
He said, number one, "will he offer supplication?"
00:13:42.101 --> 00:13:43.402
"will he offer supplication?" the answer is no.
00:13:43.469 --> 00:13:44.370
The answer is no. notice the second
00:13:44.436 --> 00:13:45.604
Notice the second way pride manifests.
00:13:45.671 --> 00:13:47.172
Way pride manifests. leviathan's lurking,
00:13:47.239 --> 00:13:48.641
Leviathan's lurking, you can't see it on the surface.
00:13:48.707 --> 00:13:52.444
You can't see it on the surface. but the scripture said --
00:13:52.511 --> 00:13:53.312
But the scripture said -- he asked,
00:13:53.379 --> 00:13:54.380
He asked, "will he speak soft words?"
00:13:54.446 --> 00:13:57.783
"will he speak soft words?" in other words,
00:13:57.850 --> 00:14:00.319
In other words, i think i preached this in '99,
00:14:00.386 --> 00:14:02.421
I think i preached this in '99, 25 years ago, right?
00:14:02.488 --> 00:14:05.157
25 years ago, right? this is crazy.
00:14:05.224 --> 00:14:06.692
This is crazy. one of the ways you can tell if
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:08.694
One of the ways you can tell if leviathan is manifesting in your
00:14:08.761 --> 00:14:10.562
Leviathan is manifesting in your life is by the words
00:14:10.629 --> 00:14:13.065
Life is by the words that come out of your mouth.
00:14:13.132 --> 00:14:15.768
That come out of your mouth. when you become proud,
00:14:15.834 --> 00:14:18.470
When you become proud, you can't speak soft words,
00:14:18.537 --> 00:14:20.673
You can't speak soft words, kind words, gentle words.
00:14:20.739 --> 00:14:24.176
Kind words, gentle words. you can speak the truth in love,
00:14:24.243 --> 00:14:26.378
You can speak the truth in love, the bible said.
00:14:26.445 --> 00:14:27.913
The bible said. but proud people think that they
00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:29.782
But proud people think that they have a right to be harsh,
00:14:29.848 --> 00:14:32.518
Have a right to be harsh, and mean,
00:14:32.584 --> 00:14:33.652
And mean, and angry,
00:14:33.719 --> 00:14:35.187
And angry, and demeaning with words.
00:14:35.254 --> 00:14:39.992
And demeaning with words. it's angry,
00:14:40.059 --> 00:14:41.460
It's angry, it's, "i'm right and i'm," --
00:14:41.527 --> 00:14:44.330
It's, "i'm right and i'm," -- and he even
00:14:44.396 --> 00:14:45.197
And he even gave the illustration.
00:14:45.264 --> 00:14:46.465
Gave the illustration. did you read it where --
00:14:46.532 --> 00:14:47.700
Did you read it where -- in job where he said,
00:14:47.766 --> 00:14:48.867
In job where he said, "and fire comes out
00:14:48.934 --> 00:14:49.568
"and fire comes out of their mouth."
00:14:49.635 --> 00:14:50.736
Of their mouth." it's like a fire breathing
00:14:50.803 --> 00:14:51.670
It's like a fire breathing dragon when they
00:14:51.737 --> 00:14:52.538
Dragon when they walk in the room.
00:14:52.604 --> 00:14:54.406
Walk in the room. that's pride on somebody's life.
00:14:54.473 --> 00:14:57.443
That's pride on somebody's life. and just because you're --
00:14:57.509 --> 00:14:58.944
And just because you're -- the bible warns,
00:14:59.011 --> 00:14:59.912
The bible warns, it says in proverbs,
00:14:59.979 --> 00:15:01.714
It says in proverbs, "the rich man answers harshly."
00:15:01.780 --> 00:15:05.017
"the rich man answers harshly." there's a spirit about that
00:15:05.084 --> 00:15:06.218
There's a spirit about that that because i am so successful,
00:15:06.285 --> 00:15:09.221
That because i am so successful, i can talk to you any
00:15:09.288 --> 00:15:10.622
I can talk to you any way i wanna talk to you.
00:15:10.689 --> 00:15:13.058
Way i wanna talk to you. that's pride manifest.
00:15:13.125 --> 00:15:14.927
That's pride manifest. because i have a degree
00:15:14.994 --> 00:15:17.229
Because i have a degree or i have my this or that
00:15:17.296 --> 00:15:19.965
Or i have my this or that but never, ever, ever
00:15:20.032 --> 00:15:21.734
But never, ever, ever allow pride to make you
00:15:21.800 --> 00:15:23.435
Allow pride to make you feel like you are better
00:15:23.502 --> 00:15:25.237
Feel like you are better than anybody else,
00:15:25.304 --> 00:15:26.338
Than anybody else, that you are --
00:15:26.405 --> 00:15:27.439
That you are -- that they're so beneath you.
00:15:27.506 --> 00:15:29.775
That they're so beneath you. that -- that is a evil,
00:15:29.842 --> 00:15:32.478
That -- that is a evil, wicked spirit,
00:15:32.544 --> 00:15:35.014
Wicked spirit, and it goes before destruction.
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.583
And it goes before destruction. pride goes before destruction,
00:15:37.649 --> 00:15:39.585
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit
00:15:39.651 --> 00:15:40.719
And a haughty spirit before a downfall.
00:15:40.786 --> 00:15:43.389
Before a downfall. oh god.
00:15:43.455 --> 00:15:45.157
Oh god. and the way that i manifest that
00:15:45.224 --> 00:15:47.659
And the way that i manifest that is not only by prayerlessness,
00:15:47.726 --> 00:15:50.996
Is not only by prayerlessness, but i manifest pride
00:15:51.063 --> 00:15:52.965
But i manifest pride by harsh words,
00:15:53.032 --> 00:15:54.433
By harsh words, hard words,
00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:57.269
Hard words, speaking to people ugly,
00:15:57.336 --> 00:16:00.139
Speaking to people ugly, speaking to people --
00:16:00.205 --> 00:16:01.407
Speaking to people -- you have to say things
00:16:01.473 --> 00:16:03.575
You have to say things with the right spirit.
00:16:03.642 --> 00:16:06.445
With the right spirit. fire breathing dragons.
00:16:06.512 --> 00:16:10.349
Fire breathing dragons. the bible said,
00:16:10.416 --> 00:16:11.016
The bible said, "never give an office
00:16:11.083 --> 00:16:12.351
"never give an office to a novice lest they become
00:16:12.418 --> 00:16:14.520
To a novice lest they become puffed up and fall into
00:16:14.586 --> 00:16:16.755
Puffed up and fall into the snare of the devil."
00:16:16.822 --> 00:16:18.190
The snare of the devil." what was the snare
00:16:18.257 --> 00:16:19.091
What was the snare of the devil?
00:16:19.158 --> 00:16:19.825
Of the devil? pride.
00:16:19.892 --> 00:16:20.859
Pride. that's why god took a whole
00:16:20.926 --> 00:16:23.128
That's why god took a whole chapter and he said,
00:16:23.195 --> 00:16:24.163
Chapter and he said, "i wanna break down
00:16:24.229 --> 00:16:24.930
"i wanna break down and warn people.
00:16:24.997 --> 00:16:25.998
And warn people. once they get in the water,
00:16:26.065 --> 00:16:27.433
Once they get in the water, once they get in the church,
00:16:27.499 --> 00:16:29.201
Once they get in the church, once they get washed
00:16:29.268 --> 00:16:30.502
Once they get washed and baptized in water,
00:16:30.569 --> 00:16:32.271
And baptized in water, that it's possible that
00:16:32.337 --> 00:16:33.739
That it's possible that the enemy will come back
00:16:33.806 --> 00:16:36.141
The enemy will come back into their life,
00:16:36.208 --> 00:16:37.042
Into their life, submerged, low,
00:16:37.109 --> 00:16:39.445
Submerged, low, and he's there
00:16:39.511 --> 00:16:40.312
And he's there and he's subtle,
00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:41.980
And he's subtle, and he starts through pride,
00:16:42.047 --> 00:16:44.416
And he starts through pride, and it shows up first
00:16:44.483 --> 00:16:45.784
And it shows up first through prayerlessness
00:16:45.851 --> 00:16:47.953
Through prayerlessness and then it shows up
00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:48.954
And then it shows up through harsh words.
00:16:49.021 --> 00:16:52.491
Through harsh words. you can tell if a person
00:16:52.558 --> 00:16:53.959
You can tell if a person is proud by the way they talk.
00:16:54.026 --> 00:16:57.429
Is proud by the way they talk. and i'm praying today,
00:16:57.496 --> 00:16:58.330
And i'm praying today, "god, forgive us
00:16:58.397 --> 00:16:59.298
"god, forgive us and forgive me."
00:16:59.364 --> 00:17:01.200
And forgive me." i don't know about you,
00:17:01.266 --> 00:17:01.900
I don't know about you, i'll talk about me.
00:17:01.967 --> 00:17:04.603
I'll talk about me. oh god, i don't want pride
00:17:04.670 --> 00:17:07.940
Oh god, i don't want pride to be heard in my conversations.
00:17:08.006 --> 00:17:10.976
To be heard in my conversations. the more he trusts us,
00:17:11.043 --> 00:17:12.344
The more he trusts us, the more he blesses us,
00:17:12.411 --> 00:17:14.379
The more he blesses us, he does not want it
00:17:14.446 --> 00:17:15.514
He does not want it to make us arrogant
00:17:15.581 --> 00:17:17.182
To make us arrogant and harsh with people.
00:17:17.249 --> 00:17:22.521
And harsh with people. then he gives a third question.
00:17:22.588 --> 00:17:24.556
Then he gives a third question. verse 4,
00:17:24.623 --> 00:17:25.724
Verse 4, "will he make a covenant
00:17:25.791 --> 00:17:27.392
"will he make a covenant with thee?"
00:17:27.459 --> 00:17:29.628
With thee?" no.
00:17:29.695 --> 00:17:32.030
No. no.
00:17:32.097 --> 00:17:33.866
No. no, he will not.
00:17:33.932 --> 00:17:36.735
No, he will not. he's a covenant breaker.
00:17:36.802 --> 00:17:39.304
He's a covenant breaker. the spirit of pride does
00:17:39.371 --> 00:17:41.206
The spirit of pride does not keep covenant.
00:17:41.273 --> 00:17:43.408
Not keep covenant. marriage is a covenant.
00:17:43.475 --> 00:17:45.611
Marriage is a covenant. the new testament,
00:17:45.677 --> 00:17:47.079
The new testament, the word of god is a covenant.
00:17:47.146 --> 00:17:50.048
The word of god is a covenant. the first covenant god ever made
00:17:50.115 --> 00:17:52.317
The first covenant god ever made with man was through noah
00:17:52.384 --> 00:17:54.553
With man was through noah and noah's ark
00:17:54.620 --> 00:17:55.554
And noah's ark and he said the sign
00:17:55.621 --> 00:17:56.321
And he said the sign of the covenant is the rainbow,
00:17:56.388 --> 00:17:59.091
Of the covenant is the rainbow, but a group of people
00:17:59.158 --> 00:17:59.992
But a group of people called "gay pride,"
00:18:00.058 --> 00:18:05.597
Called "gay pride," has taken the rainbow
00:18:05.664 --> 00:18:08.600
Has taken the rainbow and made it their symbol.
00:18:08.667 --> 00:18:11.937
And made it their symbol. i mean, just the name,
00:18:12.004 --> 00:18:13.639
I mean, just the name, "gay pride."
00:18:13.705 --> 00:18:15.841
"gay pride." and god's warning that
00:18:15.908 --> 00:18:17.109
And god's warning that the number one spirit
00:18:17.176 --> 00:18:20.012
The number one spirit that will cause a fall
00:18:20.078 --> 00:18:21.680
That will cause a fall and cause destruction
00:18:21.747 --> 00:18:24.283
And cause destruction is when pride says --
00:18:24.349 --> 00:18:26.852
Is when pride says -- and the bible said the pride
00:18:26.919 --> 00:18:28.554
And the bible said the pride gets so big that it creates
00:18:28.620 --> 00:18:33.625
Gets so big that it creates scales and the scales like lust,
00:18:33.692 --> 00:18:37.796
Scales and the scales like lust, and perversion,
00:18:37.863 --> 00:18:39.031
And perversion, and offence,
00:18:39.097 --> 00:18:43.468
And offence, and gossip,
00:18:43.535 --> 00:18:45.871
And gossip, and lying,
00:18:45.938 --> 00:18:48.907
And lying, and these scales
00:18:48.974 --> 00:18:50.509
And these scales get so tight together.
00:18:50.576 --> 00:18:53.345
Get so tight together. he even said the heart
00:18:53.412 --> 00:18:54.947
He even said the heart is so hard,
00:18:55.013 --> 00:18:55.981
Is so hard, his heart is a stone,
00:18:56.048 --> 00:18:57.549
His heart is a stone, that the air --
00:18:57.616 --> 00:18:59.151
That the air -- did you read the verse?
00:18:59.218 --> 00:19:00.252
Did you read the verse? the air cannot get in.
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.488
The air cannot get in. the air represents the breath,
00:19:03.555 --> 00:19:05.457
The air represents the breath, the holy spirit.
00:19:05.524 --> 00:19:07.693
The holy spirit. genesis, god breathed breath
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.561
Genesis, god breathed breath into the nostrils of man.
00:19:09.628 --> 00:19:12.864
Into the nostrils of man. john 20, jesus breathed on them
00:19:12.931 --> 00:19:16.435
John 20, jesus breathed on them and they received --
00:19:16.501 --> 00:19:17.302
And they received -- it said received the holy ghost.
00:19:17.369 --> 00:19:19.204
It said received the holy ghost. acts 2, the upper room.
00:19:19.271 --> 00:19:21.540
Acts 2, the upper room. there came a mighty,
00:19:21.607 --> 00:19:23.008
There came a mighty, rushing wind.
00:19:23.075 --> 00:19:24.009
Rushing wind. but when this kind of spirit
00:19:24.076 --> 00:19:26.278
But when this kind of spirit gets a hold of you
00:19:26.345 --> 00:19:27.145
Gets a hold of you and you're prayerless,
00:19:27.212 --> 00:19:28.413
And you're prayerless, you don't pray,
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:29.214
You don't pray, you don't ask god for help,
00:19:29.281 --> 00:19:31.083
You don't ask god for help, and you have harsh words,
00:19:31.149 --> 00:19:32.384
And you have harsh words, and you're cussing
00:19:32.451 --> 00:19:33.118
And you're cussing everybody out,
00:19:33.185 --> 00:19:34.786
Everybody out, and you're saying whatever--
00:19:34.853 --> 00:19:35.487
And you're saying whatever-- "i don't care
00:19:35.554 --> 00:19:36.121
"i don't care what nobody thinks,"
00:19:36.188 --> 00:19:38.457
What nobody thinks," you have leviathan.
00:19:38.523 --> 00:19:43.061
You have leviathan. and then, on top of that,
00:19:43.128 --> 00:19:44.796
And then, on top of that, he becomes a covenant breaker.
00:19:44.863 --> 00:19:49.034
He becomes a covenant breaker. they asked jesus.
00:19:49.101 --> 00:19:50.335
They asked jesus. they said,
00:19:50.402 --> 00:19:51.270
They said, "moses and the law said
00:19:51.336 --> 00:19:52.771
"moses and the law said we can divorce our wife
00:19:52.838 --> 00:19:54.640
We can divorce our wife if we don't like her.
00:19:54.706 --> 00:19:56.508
If we don't like her. what do you say?"
00:19:56.575 --> 00:19:58.143
What do you say?" and jesus said these words,
00:19:58.210 --> 00:19:59.578
And jesus said these words, he said,
00:19:59.645 --> 00:20:00.445
He said, "he told them that
00:20:00.512 --> 00:20:01.546
"he told them that because of the hardness
00:20:01.613 --> 00:20:03.682
Because of the hardness of their hearts."
00:20:03.749 --> 00:20:07.886
Of their hearts." oh lord, have mercy.
00:20:07.953 --> 00:20:10.489
Oh lord, have mercy. it's a --
00:20:10.555 --> 00:20:11.323
It's a -- see, marriage is covenant.
00:20:11.390 --> 00:20:15.594
See, marriage is covenant. but when pride starts
00:20:15.661 --> 00:20:17.296
But when pride starts getting in a marriage,
00:20:17.362 --> 00:20:18.797
Getting in a marriage, you start saying,
00:20:18.864 --> 00:20:19.498
You start saying, "i don't have to put
00:20:19.564 --> 00:20:20.365
"i don't have to put up with this,
00:20:20.432 --> 00:20:21.833
Up with this, i don't have to talk to you,
00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:23.268
I don't have to talk to you, i don't have to be around you,
00:20:23.335 --> 00:20:24.903
I don't have to be around you, i don't have to do that."
00:20:24.970 --> 00:20:26.204
I don't have to do that." that's pride, folks.
00:20:26.271 --> 00:20:29.274
That's pride, folks. and i'm preaching today because
00:20:29.341 --> 00:20:30.842
And i'm preaching today because i don't know any other way to do
00:20:30.909 --> 00:20:32.511
I don't know any other way to do but preach what the bible says
00:20:32.577 --> 00:20:34.980
But preach what the bible says 'cause the bible's right
00:20:35.047 --> 00:20:35.947
'cause the bible's right and our attitudes are wrong.
00:20:36.014 --> 00:20:38.350
And our attitudes are wrong. and when we got harsh words,
00:20:38.417 --> 00:20:40.752
And when we got harsh words, and when we got no prayer,
00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:42.921
And when we got no prayer, and now we're covenant breakers,
00:20:42.988 --> 00:20:45.691
And now we're covenant breakers, covenant breakers.
00:20:45.757 --> 00:20:47.492
Covenant breakers. marriage covenants begin
00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:48.660
Marriage covenants begin to be broken,
00:20:48.727 --> 00:20:50.796
To be broken, and that's where
00:20:50.862 --> 00:20:51.363
And that's where uncleanness comes in.
00:20:51.430 --> 00:20:53.165
Uncleanness comes in. the lust -- jesus said the devil
00:20:53.231 --> 00:20:54.666
The lust -- jesus said the devil only has three weapons.
00:20:54.733 --> 00:20:56.301
Only has three weapons. it will never change.
00:20:56.368 --> 00:20:57.869
It will never change. he always comes with the lust
00:20:57.936 --> 00:20:59.938
He always comes with the lust of the eyes,
00:21:00.005 --> 00:21:00.939
Of the eyes, the lust of the flesh,
00:21:01.006 --> 00:21:02.374
The lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
00:21:02.441 --> 00:21:06.211
And the pride of life. and so, what these spirits do
00:21:06.278 --> 00:21:08.013
And so, what these spirits do is they gather around him
00:21:08.080 --> 00:21:10.749
Is they gather around him and they --
00:21:10.816 --> 00:21:11.416
And they -- lust comes,
00:21:11.483 --> 00:21:12.751
Lust comes, and bitterness comes,
00:21:12.818 --> 00:21:15.287
And bitterness comes, and unforgiveness comes,
00:21:15.354 --> 00:21:16.888
And unforgiveness comes, and malice comes,
00:21:16.955 --> 00:21:18.323
And malice comes, and hatred comes,
00:21:18.390 --> 00:21:19.791
And hatred comes, and unforgiveness comes,
00:21:19.858 --> 00:21:21.593
And unforgiveness comes, and they just --
00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:22.794
And they just -- they seal things up
00:21:22.861 --> 00:21:24.563
They seal things up so that the wind
00:21:24.629 --> 00:21:25.931
So that the wind of the spirit --
00:21:25.997 --> 00:21:26.865
Of the spirit -- you can't even talk to people
00:21:26.932 --> 00:21:28.600
You can't even talk to people 'cause you're so offended
00:21:28.667 --> 00:21:29.935
'cause you're so offended to them,
00:21:30.001 --> 00:21:30.702
To them, you can't even get around them,
00:21:30.769 --> 00:21:32.237
You can't even get around them, and what has to happen --
00:21:32.304 --> 00:21:34.206
And what has to happen -- and you can't deliver
00:21:34.272 --> 00:21:35.140
And you can't deliver yourself from this stuff.
00:21:35.207 --> 00:21:36.408
Yourself from this stuff. i love how it started.
00:21:36.475 --> 00:21:37.676
I love how it started. "can you just take a
00:21:37.743 --> 00:21:38.577
"can you just take a hook and pull it out?"
00:21:38.643 --> 00:21:39.411
Hook and pull it out?" no, it takes god,
00:21:39.478 --> 00:21:41.646
No, it takes god, it takes a move of the spirit.
00:21:41.713 --> 00:21:43.482
It takes a move of the spirit. god said,
00:21:43.548 --> 00:21:44.116
God said, "i've got a hook and i can
00:21:44.182 --> 00:21:45.584
"i've got a hook and i can put it in the jaw of that demon,
00:21:45.650 --> 00:21:47.986
Put it in the jaw of that demon, and i can pull it
00:21:48.053 --> 00:21:49.488
And i can pull it out of you,
00:21:49.554 --> 00:21:50.188
Out of you, all that hurt,
00:21:50.255 --> 00:21:51.523
All that hurt, all that stuff,
00:21:51.590 --> 00:21:52.557
All that stuff, and you become humble enough
00:21:52.624 --> 00:21:54.926
And you become humble enough to say, "i'm sorry.
