00:04:27.514 --> 00:04:29.149

What blocks the air, what blocks the wind.
00:04:58.912 --> 00:05:01.448
What blocks the wind. the wind is symbolic

Of the holy spirit. what blocks it?

What blocks it? what shields it?
00:05:05.185 --> 00:05:07.354
What shields it? but it's even much more
00:05:07.421 --> 00:05:08.889
But it's even much more practical than that.
00:05:08.956 --> 00:05:10.958
Practical than that. leviathan is mentioned five
00:05:11.024 --> 00:05:12.793
Leviathan is mentioned five times in the scriptures.
00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:14.895
Times in the scriptures. over and over and over this

The king means he is -- he is a high principality.
00:05:27.341 --> 00:05:31.545
He is a high principality. the bible said,

The bible said, "we wrestle not against

Flesh and blood. a lot of people don't like
00:05:34.114 --> 00:05:34.782
A lot of people don't like to talk about the devil
00:05:34.848 --> 00:05:35.749
To talk about the devil in the pulpit anymore,
00:05:35.816 --> 00:05:37.184

The bible said be sober, be vigilant.
00:05:49.062 --> 00:05:49.563
Be vigilant. "we wrestle not against

Principalities and powers." and in this remarkable chapter,
00:05:54.701 --> 00:05:56.770
And in this remarkable chapter, god said to job right
00:05:56.837 --> 00:06:00.007
God said to job right before his breakthrough,
00:06:00.073 --> 00:06:01.675
Before his breakthrough, "i want you to understand even
00:06:01.742 --> 00:06:03.477
"i want you to understand even though you think
00:06:03.544 --> 00:06:04.945
Though you think this spirit has not been
00:06:05.012 --> 00:06:07.781
This spirit has not been involved in your life,
00:06:07.848 --> 00:06:09.583
Involved in your life, it has been."
00:06:09.650 --> 00:06:10.384
It has been." and i'm gonna ask you
00:06:10.451 --> 00:06:11.318
And i'm gonna ask you a pop quiz,
00:06:11.385 --> 00:06:12.453
A pop quiz, and i'm gonna give you
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:13.387
And i'm gonna give you four questions that will reveal
00:06:13.454 --> 00:06:15.456
Four questions that will reveal whether or not the spirit
00:06:15.522 --> 00:06:17.524
Whether or not the spirit of leviathan,
00:06:17.591 --> 00:06:18.992
Of leviathan, which is a water creature,
00:06:19.059 --> 00:06:20.828
Which is a water creature, which in other words,
00:06:20.894 --> 00:06:22.329
Which in other words, he lurks,
00:06:22.396 --> 00:06:24.264
He lurks, he lurks at the bottom.
00:06:24.331 --> 00:06:25.933
He lurks at the bottom. you can't see him,
00:06:25.999 --> 00:06:26.867
You can't see him, he's in the murky water.
00:06:26.934 --> 00:06:28.969
He's in the murky water. this spirit
00:06:29.036 --> 00:06:29.603
This spirit operates among water.
00:06:29.670 --> 00:06:32.606
Operates among water. water is symbolic of the spirit,
00:06:32.673 --> 00:06:35.175
Water is symbolic of the spirit, water is symbolic
00:06:35.242 --> 00:06:36.443
Water is symbolic of where the spirit moves.
00:06:36.510 --> 00:06:38.645
Of where the spirit moves. water means that
00:06:38.712 --> 00:06:40.180
Water means that he is attracted --
00:06:40.247 --> 00:06:41.515
He is attracted -- there's actually a verse that
00:06:41.582 --> 00:06:43.217
There's actually a verse that says he likes to play in
00:06:43.283 --> 00:06:45.185
Says he likes to play in the water,
00:06:45.252 --> 00:06:45.886
The water, names him,
00:06:45.953 --> 00:06:46.487
Names him, calls him leviathan.
00:06:46.553 --> 00:06:47.554
Calls him leviathan. maybe they can throw that
00:06:47.621 --> 00:06:48.222
Maybe they can throw that scripture up.
00:06:48.288 --> 00:06:49.089
Scripture up. and it says that's where
00:06:49.156 --> 00:06:50.657
And it says that's where he likes to play,
00:06:50.724 --> 00:06:52.860
He likes to play, down lurking in the water.
00:06:52.926 --> 00:06:56.063
Down lurking in the water. lurking and playing
00:06:56.129 --> 00:06:57.698
Lurking and playing in the water.
00:06:57.764 --> 00:07:00.033
In the water. and so, this spirit
00:07:00.100 --> 00:07:03.036
And so, this spirit is one that the church
00:07:03.103 --> 00:07:04.505
Is one that the church deals with.
00:07:04.571 --> 00:07:06.006
Deals with. this spirit is one
00:07:06.073 --> 00:07:07.374
This spirit is one that ministries and christians
00:07:07.441 --> 00:07:09.409
That ministries and christians have to deal with.
00:07:09.476 --> 00:07:11.278
Have to deal with. this one is sneaky
00:07:11.345 --> 00:07:13.146
This one is sneaky and it lurks in the bottom,
00:07:13.213 --> 00:07:16.383
And it lurks in the bottom, and it can get a grip
00:07:16.450 --> 00:07:17.851
And it can get a grip in your life.
00:07:17.918 --> 00:07:18.519
In your life. the name leviathan literally
00:07:18.585 --> 00:07:20.287
The name leviathan literally means to trick or to twist.
00:07:20.354 --> 00:07:26.159
Means to trick or to twist. to twist and to coil.
00:07:26.226 --> 00:07:29.730
To twist and to coil. one commentary said it's like a
00:07:29.796 --> 00:07:33.834
One commentary said it's like a corkscrew that you
00:07:33.901 --> 00:07:35.636
Corkscrew that you put in a cork.
00:07:35.702 --> 00:07:37.037
Put in a cork. once it's in there,
00:07:37.104 --> 00:07:38.772
Once it's in there, it's extremely hard
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.108
It's extremely hard to get out and to pull out.
00:07:41.174 --> 00:07:43.777
To get out and to pull out. and notice,
00:07:43.844 --> 00:07:44.444
And notice, that's why god
00:07:44.511 --> 00:07:45.479
That's why god starts the conversation,
00:07:45.546 --> 00:07:47.180
Starts the conversation, and he says,
00:07:47.247 --> 00:07:47.748
And he says, "job, can you just take
00:07:47.814 --> 00:07:49.416
"job, can you just take a hook and pull him
00:07:49.483 --> 00:07:50.684
A hook and pull him out of the water?"
00:07:50.751 --> 00:07:52.119
Out of the water?" and the answer is no.
00:07:52.185 --> 00:07:53.921
And the answer is no. the bible says pride
00:07:53.987 --> 00:07:55.088
The bible says pride goes before a fall,
00:07:55.155 --> 00:07:57.524
Goes before a fall, and destruction haughty --
00:07:57.591 --> 00:07:59.826
And destruction haughty -- a haughty spirit
00:07:59.893 --> 00:08:01.295
A haughty spirit before destruction.
00:08:01.361 --> 00:08:02.696
Before destruction. destruction is a bad thing,
00:08:02.763 --> 00:08:05.098
Destruction is a bad thing, and i've watched it,
00:08:05.165 --> 00:08:06.266
And i've watched it, i've watched it
00:08:06.333 --> 00:08:06.934
I've watched it in others.
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:07.568
In others. and i'm not preaching
00:08:07.634 --> 00:08:08.368
And i'm not preaching to you today only,
00:08:08.435 --> 00:08:11.305
To you today only, i'm preaching to me
00:08:11.371 --> 00:08:13.407
I'm preaching to me that this is something
00:08:13.473 --> 00:08:14.474
That this is something we must be aware of,
00:08:14.541 --> 00:08:15.809
We must be aware of, this is something
00:08:15.876 --> 00:08:16.710
This is something we must guard,
00:08:16.777 --> 00:08:18.645
We must guard, this will ruin
00:08:18.712 --> 00:08:20.247
This will ruin your marriage,
00:08:20.314 --> 00:08:21.081
Your marriage, this will ruin your family,
00:08:21.148 --> 00:08:23.216
This will ruin your family, this will ruin your success,
00:08:23.283 --> 00:08:25.285
This will ruin your success, this will ruin your vision,
00:08:25.352 --> 00:08:27.354
This will ruin your vision, this will wipe you out.
00:08:27.421 --> 00:08:29.156
This will wipe you out. this is a big deal.
00:08:29.222 --> 00:08:30.090
This is a big deal. when he calls it a king,
00:08:30.157 --> 00:08:31.525
When he calls it a king, he's saying this is
00:08:31.592 --> 00:08:32.392
He's saying this is a ruling spirit that
00:08:32.459 --> 00:08:34.761
A ruling spirit that every church, every person
00:08:34.828 --> 00:08:37.497
Every church, every person who's involved in the water,
00:08:37.564 --> 00:08:39.733
Who's involved in the water, the moving of the holy spirit.
00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:41.802
The moving of the holy spirit. because you're anointed
00:08:41.868 --> 00:08:44.071
Because you're anointed and the spirit is moving,
00:08:44.137 --> 00:08:45.505
And the spirit is moving, that does not
00:08:45.572 --> 00:08:46.340
That does not mean that this spirit --
00:08:46.406 --> 00:08:48.342
Mean that this spirit -- he's attracted,
00:08:48.408 --> 00:08:49.276
He's attracted, he likes to play there.
00:08:49.343 --> 00:08:50.944
So, god is saying that
00:08:54.948 --> 00:08:56.016
So, god is saying that it'll be difficult
00:08:56.083 --> 00:08:57.184
It'll be difficult to fight this spirit
00:08:57.250 --> 00:08:59.886
To fight this spirit because most people
00:08:59.953 --> 00:09:01.521
Because most people when i'm talking about pride,
00:09:01.588 --> 00:09:03.290
When i'm talking about pride, your mind immediately says,
00:09:03.357 --> 00:09:05.826
Your mind immediately says, "they really need that.
00:09:05.892 --> 00:09:07.294
"they really need that. i'm thinking of somebody
00:09:07.361 --> 00:09:08.895
I'm thinking of somebody who needs that.
00:09:08.962 --> 00:09:10.130
Who needs that. boy, i wish they
00:09:10.197 --> 00:09:11.331
Boy, i wish they could hear this."
00:09:11.398 --> 00:09:13.066
Could hear this." that's what you're gonna
00:09:13.133 --> 00:09:13.734
That's what you're gonna be thinking while i'm preaching,
00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:16.603
Be thinking while i'm preaching, but you're in the wrong
00:09:16.670 --> 00:09:17.404
But you're in the wrong service today,
00:09:17.471 --> 00:09:18.839
Service today, and it's not gonna
00:09:18.905 --> 00:09:19.339
And it's not gonna take me long,
00:09:19.406 --> 00:09:20.140
Take me long, but i promise you.
00:09:20.207 --> 00:09:21.575
But i promise you. he gave job four questions,
00:09:21.642 --> 00:09:23.744
He gave job four questions, a pop quiz, and he said,
00:09:23.810 --> 00:09:26.279
A pop quiz, and he said, "if the characteristics
00:09:26.346 --> 00:09:28.048
"if the characteristics of leviathan,
00:09:28.115 --> 00:09:29.249
Of leviathan, the spirit of pride,
00:09:29.316 --> 00:09:30.450
The spirit of pride, are in your life,
00:09:30.517 --> 00:09:31.652
Are in your life, these are the ways
00:09:31.718 --> 00:09:33.754
These are the ways he will manifest."
00:09:33.820 --> 00:09:35.522
He will manifest." and he ask it in questions.
00:09:35.589 --> 00:09:38.158
And he ask it in questions. question number one,
00:09:38.225 --> 00:09:41.261
Question number one, "will he make many
00:09:41.328 --> 00:09:45.699
"will he make many supplications to you?"
00:09:45.766 --> 00:09:51.238
Supplications to you?" will he make many
00:09:51.304 --> 00:09:52.305
Will he make many supplications to you?
00:09:52.372 --> 00:09:54.508
Supplications to you? and the answer
00:09:54.574 --> 00:09:55.175
And the answer to all of these is no.
00:09:55.242 --> 00:09:57.477
To all of these is no. supplication is prayer.
00:09:57.544 --> 00:10:00.047
Supplication is prayer. a spirit of pride will
00:10:00.113 --> 00:10:02.516
A spirit of pride will never allow you to pray.
00:10:02.582 --> 00:10:04.851
Never allow you to pray. it wants to stop
00:10:04.918 --> 00:10:05.719
It wants to stop you from praying.
00:10:05.786 --> 00:10:06.953
You from praying. a person who does not pray,
00:10:07.020 --> 00:10:09.823
A person who does not pray, whether you're saved or unsaved,
00:10:09.890 --> 00:10:12.159
Whether you're saved or unsaved, there is a spirit of pride
00:10:12.225 --> 00:10:14.628
There is a spirit of pride that can get in
00:10:14.695 --> 00:10:15.662
That can get in you that says,
00:10:15.729 --> 00:10:16.496
You that says, "i don't have to pray."
00:10:16.563 --> 00:10:17.898
"i don't have to pray." the reason people don't
00:10:17.964 --> 00:10:18.632
The reason people don't pray is really,
00:10:18.699 --> 00:10:20.167
Pray is really, mentally they won't say this,
00:10:20.233 --> 00:10:22.469
Mentally they won't say this, but mentally they think
00:10:22.536 --> 00:10:23.737
But mentally they think they don't need to pray.
00:10:23.804 --> 00:10:25.672
They don't need to pray. they --
00:10:25.739 --> 00:10:26.373
They -- "i know what to do.
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:28.375
"i know what to do. i'm talented, i'm educated,
00:10:28.442 --> 00:10:30.310
I'm talented, i'm educated, i'm smart,
00:10:30.377 --> 00:10:31.178
I'm smart, i gotta take care
00:10:31.244 --> 00:10:32.079
I gotta take care of my own business
00:10:32.145 --> 00:10:33.113
Of my own business and that's -- you know,
00:10:33.180 --> 00:10:34.247
And that's -- you know, i gotta do what i can do
00:10:34.314 --> 00:10:35.582
I gotta do what i can do and i gotta figure it out
00:10:35.649 --> 00:10:36.550
And i gotta figure it out and i got problems,
00:10:36.616 --> 00:10:37.551
And i got problems, but i gotta figure it out,
00:10:37.617 --> 00:10:38.685
But i gotta figure it out, and i got a --
00:10:38.752 --> 00:10:39.286
And i got a -- i can do this."
00:10:39.352 --> 00:10:40.921
I can do this." will he ask supplications?
00:10:40.987 --> 00:10:44.725
Will he ask supplications? the word supplication means
00:10:44.791 --> 00:10:46.193
The word supplication means to ask for help.
00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:47.561
To ask for help. and the answer is pride
00:10:47.627 --> 00:10:49.563
And the answer is pride will never pray.
00:10:49.629 --> 00:10:52.666
Will never pray. when you really are free
00:10:52.733 --> 00:10:54.334
When you really are free from that spirit of pride,
00:10:54.401 --> 00:10:56.470
From that spirit of pride, it makes you understand,
00:10:56.536 --> 00:10:59.172
It makes you understand, "i," jesus said,
00:10:59.239 --> 00:11:01.041
"i," jesus said, "am the vine and you
00:11:01.108 --> 00:11:02.309
"am the vine and you are the branches.
00:11:02.375 --> 00:11:03.477
Are the branches. and without me,
00:11:03.543 --> 00:11:04.778
And without me, you can do nothing.
00:11:04.845 --> 00:11:08.315
You can do nothing. and one of the sure signs
00:11:08.381 --> 00:11:10.984
And one of the sure signs that leviathan has a grip
00:11:11.051 --> 00:11:13.186
That leviathan has a grip in your life is when
00:11:13.253 --> 00:11:14.855
In your life is when you no longer feel
00:11:14.921 --> 00:11:16.456
You no longer feel the need to pray.
00:11:16.523 --> 00:11:19.159
The need to pray. and it's alright,
00:11:19.226 --> 00:11:20.427
And it's alright, because god sent me
00:11:20.494 --> 00:11:21.795
Because god sent me with the anointing to break
00:11:21.862 --> 00:11:22.896
With the anointing to break you free from that today.
00:11:22.963 --> 00:11:25.699
You free from that today. god's gonna put a hook
00:11:25.766 --> 00:11:26.700
God's gonna put a hook in his mouth.
00:11:26.767 --> 00:11:27.534
In his mouth. i can't do it,
00:11:27.601 --> 00:11:28.201
I can't do it, but god can.
00:11:28.268 --> 00:11:29.136
But god can. [applause]
00:11:29.202 --> 00:11:30.337
[applause] it's important to pray.
00:11:30.403 --> 00:11:36.076
It's important to pray. and he will resist,
00:11:36.143 --> 00:11:38.145
And he will resist, he will resist prayer.
00:11:38.211 --> 00:11:41.081
He will resist prayer. proud people don't pray,
00:11:41.148 --> 00:11:44.785
Proud people don't pray, they sense that they don't
00:11:44.851 --> 00:11:49.022
They sense that they don't have to ask for help.
00:11:49.089 --> 00:11:51.424
Have to ask for help. some of you are addicted
00:11:51.491 --> 00:11:53.059
Some of you are addicted and pride won't let you
00:11:53.126 --> 00:11:54.161
And pride won't let you ask for help.
00:11:54.227 --> 00:11:56.029
Ask for help. some of you are here today
00:11:56.096 --> 00:11:58.098
Some of you are here today and you're suicidal,
00:11:58.165 --> 00:11:59.599
And you're suicidal, and depressed,
00:11:59.666 --> 00:12:00.734
And depressed, and defeated mentally,
00:12:00.801 --> 00:12:02.769
And defeated mentally, and pride won't
00:12:02.836 --> 00:12:03.870
And pride won't let you ask for help,
00:12:03.937 --> 00:12:05.472
Let you ask for help, but supplication
00:12:05.539 --> 00:12:06.873
But supplication is to ask for help.
00:12:06.940 --> 00:12:08.975
Is to ask for help. it's why the scripture
00:12:09.042 --> 00:12:09.743
It's why the scripture said in ephesians 6,
00:12:09.810 --> 00:12:11.211
Said in ephesians 6, "praying with all prayers
00:12:11.278 --> 00:12:13.280
"praying with all prayers and supplication
00:12:13.346 --> 00:12:14.581
And supplication in the spirit.
00:12:14.648 --> 00:12:15.415
In the spirit. philippians 4:6,
00:12:15.482 --> 00:12:17.551
Philippians 4:6, "but in everything,
00:12:17.617 --> 00:12:18.685
"but in everything, by prayer and supplication,"
00:12:18.752 --> 00:12:21.054
By prayer and supplication," asking for help,
00:12:21.121 --> 00:12:22.122
Asking for help, "with thanksgiving,
00:12:22.189 --> 00:12:23.490
"with thanksgiving, let your request
00:12:23.557 --> 00:12:24.825
Let your request be known unto god."
00:12:24.891 --> 00:12:26.827
Be known unto god." but this leviathan spirit
00:12:26.893 --> 00:12:28.962
But this leviathan spirit hinders our prayers,
00:12:29.029 --> 00:12:31.231
Hinders our prayers, it restricts us
00:12:31.298 --> 00:12:33.400
It restricts us and causes us to stop --
00:12:33.466 --> 00:12:36.636
And causes us to stop -- to depend on the flesh
00:12:36.703 --> 00:12:38.205
To depend on the flesh instead of depending
00:12:38.271 --> 00:12:39.372
Instead of depending on prayer and asking
00:12:39.439 --> 00:12:41.308
On prayer and asking god for his help.
00:12:41.374 --> 00:12:44.411
God for his help. that is a sign that pride has
00:12:44.477 --> 00:12:49.249
That is a sign that pride has gotten its grip on your life.
00:12:49.316 --> 00:12:53.119
Gotten its grip on your life. "i don't need to make
00:12:53.186 --> 00:12:54.154
"i don't need to make supplication to god."
00:12:54.221 --> 00:12:56.823
Supplication to god." but the bible said this,
00:12:56.890 --> 00:12:59.259
But the bible said this, when you say that,
00:12:59.326 --> 00:13:00.594
When you say that, hebrews 5:7,
00:13:00.660 --> 00:13:02.128
Hebrews 5:7, "jesus made supplication
00:13:02.195 --> 00:13:04.564
"jesus made supplication with strong crying."
00:13:04.631 --> 00:13:08.368
With strong crying." prayers and supplication.
00:13:08.435 --> 00:13:09.970
Prayers and supplication. the son of god, god almighty,
00:13:10.036 --> 00:13:13.373
The son of god, god almighty, and he's praying
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:15.175
And he's praying with supplication asking
00:13:15.242 --> 00:13:17.811
With supplication asking for god's help
00:13:17.878 --> 00:13:19.913
For god's help with strong crying and tears.
00:13:19.980 --> 00:13:22.849
With strong crying and tears. where has the prayer gone?
00:13:22.916 --> 00:13:24.618
Where has the prayer gone? why is the desperation
00:13:24.684 --> 00:13:26.586
Why is the desperation gone from the church?
00:13:26.653 --> 00:13:30.390
Gone from the church? but pride says,
00:13:30.457 --> 00:13:32.158
But pride says, "i don't make supplication,
00:13:32.225 --> 00:13:33.560
"i don't make supplication, i don't feel the need to,
00:13:33.627 --> 00:13:34.928
I don't feel the need to, i don't need the help,
00:13:34.995 --> 00:13:36.162
I don't need the help, i can handle my own problems."
00:13:36.229 --> 00:13:38.231
I can handle my own problems." second question,
00:13:38.298 --> 00:13:40.333
Second question, he said, number one,
00:13:40.400 --> 00:13:41.902
He said, number one, "will he offer supplication?"
00:13:41.968 --> 00:13:43.270
"will he offer supplication?" the answer is no.
00:13:43.336 --> 00:13:44.237
The answer is no. notice the second
00:13:44.304 --> 00:13:45.472
Notice the second way pride manifests.
00:13:45.538 --> 00:13:47.040
Way pride manifests. leviathan's lurking,
00:13:47.107 --> 00:13:48.508
Leviathan's lurking, you can't see it on the surface.
00:13:48.575 --> 00:13:52.312
You can't see it on the surface. but the scripture said --
00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:53.179
But the scripture said -- he asked,
00:13:53.246 --> 00:13:54.247
He asked, "will he speak soft words?"
00:13:54.314 --> 00:13:57.651
"will he speak soft words?" in other words,
00:13:57.717 --> 00:14:00.186
In other words, i think i preached this in '99,
00:14:00.253 --> 00:14:02.289
I think i preached this in '99, 25 years ago, right?
00:14:02.355 --> 00:14:05.025
25 years ago, right? this is crazy.
00:14:05.091 --> 00:14:06.559
This is crazy. one of the ways you can tell if
00:14:06.626 --> 00:14:08.561
One of the ways you can tell if leviathan is manifesting in your
00:14:08.628 --> 00:14:10.430
Leviathan is manifesting in your life is by the words
00:14:10.497 --> 00:14:12.933
Life is by the words that come out of your mouth.
00:14:12.999 --> 00:14:15.635
That come out of your mouth. when you become proud,
00:14:15.702 --> 00:14:18.338
When you become proud, you can't speak soft words,
00:14:18.405 --> 00:14:20.540
You can't speak soft words, kind words, gentle words.
00:14:20.607 --> 00:14:24.044
Kind words, gentle words. you can speak the truth in love,
00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:26.246
You can speak the truth in love, the bible said.
00:14:26.313 --> 00:14:27.781
The bible said. but proud people think that they
00:14:27.847 --> 00:14:29.649
But proud people think that they have a right to be harsh,
00:14:29.716 --> 00:14:32.385
Have a right to be harsh, and mean,
00:14:32.452 --> 00:14:33.520
And mean, and angry,
00:14:33.586 --> 00:14:35.055
And angry, and demeaning with words.
00:14:35.121 --> 00:14:39.859
And demeaning with words. it's angry,
00:14:39.926 --> 00:14:41.328
It's angry, it's, "i'm right and i'm," --
00:14:41.394 --> 00:14:44.197
It's, "i'm right and i'm," -- and he even
00:14:44.264 --> 00:14:45.065
And he even gave the illustration.
00:14:45.131 --> 00:14:46.333
Gave the illustration. did you read it where --
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.567
Did you read it where -- in job where he said,
00:14:47.634 --> 00:14:48.735
In job where he said, "and fire comes out
00:14:48.802 --> 00:14:49.436
"and fire comes out of their mouth."
00:14:49.502 --> 00:14:50.603
Of their mouth." it's like a fire breathing
00:14:50.670 --> 00:14:51.538
It's like a fire breathing dragon when they
00:14:51.604 --> 00:14:52.405
Dragon when they walk in the room.
00:14:52.472 --> 00:14:54.274
Walk in the room. that's pride on somebody's life.
00:14:54.341 --> 00:14:57.310
That's pride on somebody's life. and just because you're --
00:14:57.377 --> 00:14:58.812
And just because you're -- the bible warns,
00:14:58.878 --> 00:14:59.779
The bible warns, it says in proverbs,
00:14:59.846 --> 00:15:01.581
It says in proverbs, "the rich man answers harshly."
00:15:01.648 --> 00:15:04.884
"the rich man answers harshly." there's a spirit about that
00:15:04.951 --> 00:15:06.086
There's a spirit about that that because i am so successful,
00:15:06.152 --> 00:15:09.089
That because i am so successful, i can talk to you any
00:15:09.155 --> 00:15:10.490
I can talk to you any way i wanna talk to you.
00:15:10.557 --> 00:15:12.926
Way i wanna talk to you. that's pride manifest.
00:15:12.993 --> 00:15:14.794
That's pride manifest. because i have a degree
00:15:14.861 --> 00:15:17.097
Because i have a degree or i have my this or that
00:15:17.163 --> 00:15:19.833
Or i have my this or that but never, ever, ever
00:15:19.899 --> 00:15:21.601
But never, ever, ever allow pride to make you
00:15:21.668 --> 00:15:23.303
Allow pride to make you feel like you are better
00:15:23.370 --> 00:15:25.105
Feel like you are better than anybody else,
00:15:25.171 --> 00:15:26.206
Than anybody else, that you are --
00:15:26.272 --> 00:15:27.307
That you are -- that they're so beneath you.
00:15:27.374 --> 00:15:29.642
That they're so beneath you. that -- that is a evil,
00:15:29.709 --> 00:15:32.345
That -- that is a evil, wicked spirit,
00:15:32.412 --> 00:15:34.881
Wicked spirit, and it goes before destruction.
00:15:34.948 --> 00:15:37.450
And it goes before destruction. pride goes before destruction,
00:15:37.517 --> 00:15:39.452
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:40.587
And a haughty spirit before a downfall.
00:15:40.653 --> 00:15:43.256
Before a downfall. oh god.
00:15:43.323 --> 00:15:45.025
Oh god. and the way that i manifest that
00:15:45.091 --> 00:15:47.527
And the way that i manifest that is not only by prayerlessness,
00:15:47.594 --> 00:15:50.864
Is not only by prayerlessness, but i manifest pride
00:15:50.930 --> 00:15:52.832
But i manifest pride by harsh words,
00:15:52.899 --> 00:15:54.300
By harsh words, hard words,
00:15:54.367 --> 00:15:57.137
Hard words, speaking to people ugly,
00:15:57.203 --> 00:16:00.006
Speaking to people ugly, speaking to people --
00:16:00.073 --> 00:16:01.274
Speaking to people -- you have to say things
00:16:01.341 --> 00:16:03.443
You have to say things with the right spirit.
00:16:03.510 --> 00:16:06.312
With the right spirit. fire breathing dragons.
00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:10.216
Fire breathing dragons. the bible said,
00:16:10.283 --> 00:16:10.884
The bible said, "never give an office
00:16:10.950 --> 00:16:12.218
"never give an office to a novice lest they become
00:16:12.285 --> 00:16:14.387
To a novice lest they become puffed up and fall into
00:16:14.454 --> 00:16:16.623
Puffed up and fall into the snare of the devil."
00:16:16.689 --> 00:16:18.058
The snare of the devil." what was the snare
00:16:18.124 --> 00:16:18.958
What was the snare of the devil?
00:16:19.025 --> 00:16:19.692
Of the devil? pride.
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:20.727
Pride. that's why god took a whole
00:16:20.794 --> 00:16:22.996
That's why god took a whole chapter and he said,
00:16:23.063 --> 00:16:24.030
Chapter and he said, "i wanna break down
00:16:24.097 --> 00:16:24.798
"i wanna break down and warn people.
00:16:24.864 --> 00:16:25.865
And warn people. once they get in the water,
00:16:25.932 --> 00:16:27.300
Once they get in the water, once they get in the church,
00:16:27.367 --> 00:16:29.069
Once they get in the church, once they get washed
00:16:29.135 --> 00:16:30.370
Once they get washed and baptized in water,
00:16:30.437 --> 00:16:32.138
And baptized in water, that it's possible that
00:16:32.205 --> 00:16:33.606
That it's possible that the enemy will come back
00:16:33.673 --> 00:16:36.009
The enemy will come back into their life,
00:16:36.076 --> 00:16:36.910
Into their life, submerged, low,
00:16:36.976 --> 00:16:39.312
Submerged, low, and he's there
00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:40.180
And he's there and he's subtle,
00:16:40.246 --> 00:16:41.848
And he's subtle, and he starts through pride,
00:16:41.915 --> 00:16:44.284
And he starts through pride, and it shows up first
00:16:44.350 --> 00:16:45.652
And it shows up first through prayerlessness
00:16:45.718 --> 00:16:47.821
Through prayerlessness and then it shows up
00:16:47.887 --> 00:16:48.822
And then it shows up through harsh words.
00:16:48.888 --> 00:16:52.358
Through harsh words. you can tell if a person
00:16:52.425 --> 00:16:53.827
You can tell if a person is proud by the way they talk.
00:16:53.893 --> 00:16:57.297
Is proud by the way they talk. and i'm praying today,
00:16:57.363 --> 00:16:58.198
And i'm praying today, "god, forgive us
00:16:58.264 --> 00:16:59.165
"god, forgive us and forgive me."
00:16:59.232 --> 00:17:01.067
And forgive me." i don't know about you,
00:17:01.134 --> 00:17:01.768
I don't know about you, i'll talk about me.
00:17:01.835 --> 00:17:03.837
I'll talk about me. oh god, i don't want pride
00:17:03.903 --> 00:17:07.006
Oh god, i don't want pride to be heard in my conversations.
00:17:07.073 --> 00:17:10.043
To be heard in my conversations. the more he trusts us,
00:17:10.110 --> 00:17:11.411
The more he trusts us, the more he blesses us,
00:17:11.478 --> 00:17:13.446
The more he blesses us, he does not want it
00:17:13.513 --> 00:17:14.581
He does not want it to make us arrogant
00:17:14.647 --> 00:17:16.249
To make us arrogant and harsh with people.
00:17:16.316 --> 00:17:21.588
And harsh with people. then he gives a third question.
00:17:21.654 --> 00:17:23.623
Then he gives a third question. verse 4,
00:17:23.690 --> 00:17:24.791
Verse 4, "will he make a covenant
00:17:24.858 --> 00:17:26.459
"will he make a covenant with thee?"
00:17:26.526 --> 00:17:28.695
With thee?" no.
00:17:28.761 --> 00:17:31.097
No. no.
00:17:31.164 --> 00:17:32.932
No. no, he will not.
00:17:32.999 --> 00:17:35.802
No, he will not. he's a covenant breaker.
00:17:35.869 --> 00:17:38.371
He's a covenant breaker. the spirit of pride does
00:17:38.438 --> 00:17:40.273
The spirit of pride does not keep covenant.
00:17:40.340 --> 00:17:42.475
Not keep covenant. marriage is a covenant.
00:17:42.542 --> 00:17:44.677
Marriage is a covenant. the new testament,
00:17:44.744 --> 00:17:46.146
The new testament, the word of god is a covenant.
00:17:46.212 --> 00:17:49.115
The word of god is a covenant. the first covenant god ever made
00:17:49.182 --> 00:17:51.384
The first covenant god ever made with man was through noah
00:17:51.451 --> 00:17:53.620
With man was through noah and noah's ark
00:17:53.686 --> 00:17:54.621
And noah's ark and he said the sign
00:17:54.687 --> 00:17:55.388
And he said the sign of the covenant is the rainbow,
00:17:55.455 --> 00:17:58.158
Of the covenant is the rainbow, but a group of people
00:17:58.224 --> 00:17:59.058
But a group of people called "gay pride,"
00:17:59.125 --> 00:18:04.664
Called "gay pride," has taken the rainbow
00:18:04.731 --> 00:18:07.667
Has taken the rainbow and made it their symbol.
00:18:07.734 --> 00:18:11.004
And made it their symbol. i mean, just the name,
00:18:11.070 --> 00:18:12.705
I mean, just the name, "gay pride."
00:18:12.772 --> 00:18:14.908
"gay pride." and god's warning that
00:18:14.974 --> 00:18:16.176
And god's warning that the number one spirit
00:18:16.242 --> 00:18:19.078
The number one spirit that will cause a fall
00:18:19.145 --> 00:18:20.747
That will cause a fall and cause destruction
00:18:20.813 --> 00:18:23.349
And cause destruction is when pride says --
00:18:23.416 --> 00:18:25.919
Is when pride says -- and the bible said the pride
00:18:25.985 --> 00:18:27.620
And the bible said the pride gets so big that it creates
00:18:27.687 --> 00:18:32.692
Gets so big that it creates scales and the scales like lust,
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.863
Scales and the scales like lust, and perversion,
00:18:36.930 --> 00:18:38.097
And perversion, and offence,
00:18:38.164 --> 00:18:42.535
And offence, and gossip,
00:18:42.602 --> 00:18:44.938
And gossip, and lying,
00:18:45.004 --> 00:18:47.974
And lying, and these scales
00:18:48.041 --> 00:18:49.576
And these scales get so tight together.
00:18:49.642 --> 00:18:52.412
Get so tight together. he even said the heart
00:18:52.478 --> 00:18:54.013
He even said the heart is so hard,
00:18:54.080 --> 00:18:55.048
Is so hard, his heart is a stone,
00:18:55.114 --> 00:18:56.616
His heart is a stone, that the air --
00:18:56.683 --> 00:18:58.218
That the air -- did you read the verse?
00:18:58.284 --> 00:18:59.319
Did you read the verse? the air cannot get in.
00:18:59.385 --> 00:19:02.555
The air cannot get in. the air represents the breath,
00:19:02.622 --> 00:19:04.524
The air represents the breath, the holy spirit.
00:19:04.591 --> 00:19:06.759
The holy spirit. genesis, god breathed breath
00:19:06.826 --> 00:19:08.628
Genesis, god breathed breath into the nostrils of man.
00:19:08.695 --> 00:19:11.931
Into the nostrils of man. john 20, jesus breathed on them
00:19:11.998 --> 00:19:15.501
John 20, jesus breathed on them and they received --
00:19:15.568 --> 00:19:16.369
And they received -- it said received the holy ghost.
00:19:16.436 --> 00:19:18.271
It said received the holy ghost. acts 2, the upper room.
00:19:18.338 --> 00:19:20.607
Acts 2, the upper room. there came a mighty,
00:19:20.673 --> 00:19:22.075
There came a mighty, rushing wind.
00:19:22.141 --> 00:19:23.076
Rushing wind. but when this kind of spirit
00:19:23.142 --> 00:19:25.345
But when this kind of spirit gets a hold of you
00:19:25.411 --> 00:19:26.212
Gets a hold of you and you're prayerless,
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:27.480
And you're prayerless, you don't pray,
00:19:27.547 --> 00:19:28.281
You don't pray, you don't ask god for help,
00:19:28.348 --> 00:19:30.149
You don't ask god for help, and you have harsh words,
00:19:30.216 --> 00:19:31.451
And you have harsh words, and you're cussing
00:19:31.517 --> 00:19:32.185
And you're cussing everybody out,
00:19:32.252 --> 00:19:33.853
Everybody out, and you're saying whatever--
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.554
And you're saying whatever-- "i don't care
00:19:34.621 --> 00:19:35.188
"i don't care what nobody thinks,"
00:19:35.255 --> 00:19:37.523
What nobody thinks," you have leviathan.
00:19:37.590 --> 00:19:42.128
You have leviathan. and then on top of that,
00:19:42.195 --> 00:19:43.863
And then on top of that, he becomes a covenant breaker.
00:19:43.930 --> 00:19:48.101
He becomes a covenant breaker. they asked jesus.
00:19:48.167 --> 00:19:49.402
They asked jesus. they said,
00:19:49.469 --> 00:19:50.336
They said, "moses and the law said
00:19:50.403 --> 00:19:51.838
"moses and the law said we can divorce our wife
00:19:51.904 --> 00:19:53.706
We can divorce our wife if we don't like her.
00:19:53.773 --> 00:19:55.575
If we don't like her. what do you say?"
00:19:55.642 --> 00:19:57.210
What do you say?" and jesus said these words,
00:19:57.277 --> 00:19:58.645
And jesus said these words, he said,
00:19:58.711 --> 00:19:59.512
He said, "he told them that
00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:00.613
"he told them that because of the hardness
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:02.749
Because of the hardness of their hearts."
00:20:02.815 --> 00:20:06.953
Of their hearts." oh lord, have mercy.
00:20:07.020 --> 00:20:09.555
Oh lord, have mercy. it's a --
00:20:09.622 --> 00:20:10.390
It's a -- see, marriage is covenant.
00:20:10.456 --> 00:20:14.661
See, marriage is covenant. but when pride starts
00:20:14.727 --> 00:20:16.362
But when pride starts getting in a marriage,
00:20:16.429 --> 00:20:17.864
Getting in a marriage, you start saying,
00:20:17.930 --> 00:20:18.564
You start saying, "i don't have to put
00:20:18.631 --> 00:20:19.432
"i don't have to put up with this,
00:20:19.499 --> 00:20:20.900
Up with this, i don't have to talk to you,
00:20:20.967 --> 00:20:22.335
I don't have to talk to you, i don't have to be around you,
00:20:22.402 --> 00:20:23.970
I don't have to be around you, i don't have to do that."
00:20:24.037 --> 00:20:25.271
I don't have to do that." that's pride, folks.
00:20:25.338 --> 00:20:28.341
That's pride, folks. and i'm preaching today because
00:20:28.408 --> 00:20:29.909
And i'm preaching today because i don't know any other way to do
00:20:29.976 --> 00:20:31.577
I don't know any other way to do but preach what the bible says
00:20:31.644 --> 00:20:34.047
But preach what the bible says 'cause the bible's right
00:20:34.113 --> 00:20:35.014
'cause the bible's right and our attitudes are wrong.
00:20:35.081 --> 00:20:37.417
And our attitudes are wrong. and when we got harsh words,
00:20:37.483 --> 00:20:39.819
And when we got harsh words, and when we got no prayer,
00:20:39.886 --> 00:20:41.988
And when we got no prayer, and now we're covenant breakers,
00:20:42.055 --> 00:20:44.757
And now we're covenant breakers, covenant breakers.
00:20:44.824 --> 00:20:46.559
Covenant breakers. marriage covenants begin
00:20:46.626 --> 00:20:47.727
Marriage covenants begin to be broken,
00:20:47.794 --> 00:20:49.862
To be broken, and that's where
00:20:49.929 --> 00:20:50.430
And that's where uncleanness comes in.
00:20:50.496 --> 00:20:52.231
Uncleanness comes in. the lust -- jesus said the devil
00:20:52.298 --> 00:20:53.733
The lust -- jesus said the devil only has three weapons.
00:20:53.800 --> 00:20:55.368
Only has three weapons. it will never change.
00:20:55.435 --> 00:20:56.936
It will never change. he always comes with the lust
00:20:57.003 --> 00:20:59.005
He always comes with the lust of the eyes,
00:20:59.072 --> 00:21:00.006
Of the eyes, the lust of the flesh,
00:21:00.073 --> 00:21:01.441
The lust of the flesh, and the pride of life.
00:21:01.507 --> 00:21:05.278
And the pride of life. and so, what these spirits do
00:21:05.345 --> 00:21:07.080
And so, what these spirits do is they gather around him
00:21:07.146 --> 00:21:09.816
Is they gather around him and they --
00:21:09.882 --> 00:21:10.483
And they -- lust comes,
00:21:10.550 --> 00:21:11.818
Lust comes, and bitterness comes,
00:21:11.884 --> 00:21:14.354
And bitterness comes, and unforgiveness comes,
00:21:14.420 --> 00:21:15.955
And unforgiveness comes, and malice comes,
00:21:16.022 --> 00:21:17.390
And malice comes, and hatred comes,
00:21:17.457 --> 00:21:18.858
And hatred comes, and unforgiveness comes,
00:21:18.925 --> 00:21:20.660
And unforgiveness comes, and they just --
00:21:20.727 --> 00:21:21.861
And they just -- they seal things up
00:21:21.928 --> 00:21:23.629
They seal things up so that the wind
00:21:23.696 --> 00:21:24.997
So that the wind of the spirit --
00:21:25.064 --> 00:21:25.932
Of the spirit -- you can't even talk to people
00:21:25.998 --> 00:21:27.667
You can't even talk to people 'cause you're so offended
00:21:27.734 --> 00:21:29.001
'cause you're so offended to them,
00:21:29.068 --> 00:21:29.769
To them, you can't even get around them,
00:21:29.836 --> 00:21:31.304
You can't even get around them, and what has to happen --
00:21:31.371 --> 00:21:33.272
And what has to happen -- and you can't deliver
00:21:33.339 --> 00:21:34.207
And you can't deliver yourself from this stuff.
00:21:34.273 --> 00:21:35.475
Yourself from this stuff. i love how it started.
00:21:35.541 --> 00:21:36.743
I love how it started. "can you just take a
00:21:36.809 --> 00:21:37.643
"can you just take a hook and pull it out?"
00:21:37.710 --> 00:21:38.478
Hook and pull it out?" no, it takes god,
00:21:38.544 --> 00:21:40.713
No, it takes god, it takes a move of the spirit.
00:21:40.780 --> 00:21:42.548
It takes a move of the spirit. god said,
00:21:42.615 --> 00:21:43.182
God said, "i've got a hook and i can
00:21:43.249 --> 00:21:44.650
"i've got a hook and i can put it in the jaw of that demon,
00:21:44.717 --> 00:21:47.053
And i can pull it
00:21:47.153 --> 00:21:48.554
Out of you,
00:21:48.654 --> 00:21:49.255
Out of you, all that hurt,
00:21:49.322 --> 00:21:50.590
All that hurt, all that stuff,
00:21:50.656 --> 00:21:51.624
All that stuff, and you become humble enough
00:21:51.691 --> 00:21:53.993
And you become humble enough to say, "i'm sorry.
00:21:54.060 --> 00:21:56.295
[applause]
00:21:57.864 --> 00:22:00.933
>> i believe today
00:22:03.269 --> 00:22:04.070

Around here in this ministry. this year feels different.
00:22:10.777 --> 00:22:12.478
This year feels different. it feels like there's
00:22:12.545 --> 00:22:13.346
It feels like there's a turnaround going on,
00:22:13.413 --> 00:22:15.281
A turnaround going on, in our nation and in our world.
00:22:15.348 --> 00:22:17.450
In our nation and in our world. god is on the move.
00:22:17.517 --> 00:22:19.218
God is on the move. and he loves you,
00:22:19.285 --> 00:22:20.453
And he loves you, and there's nothing
00:22:20.520 --> 00:22:21.487
And there's nothing you've done, he can't forgive.
00:22:21.554 --> 00:22:23.289
You've done, he can't forgive. there's no mess in
00:22:23.356 --> 00:22:24.157
There's no mess in your life he can't fix,
00:22:24.223 --> 00:22:26.058
Your life he can't fix, and take the broken pieces
00:22:26.125 --> 00:22:27.193
And take the broken pieces and put it back together.
00:22:27.260 --> 00:22:29.095
And put it back together. he makes all things new

He can give you a new life. right where you're watching.
00:22:38.271 --> 00:22:39.305
Right where you're watching. it's not an accident.
00:22:39.372 --> 00:22:41.174

The dark forces of hamas.
00:25:06.719 --> 00:25:08.487
