- Jake: yes. many of the struggles that christians are facing
- 00:02:33.042 --> 00:02:34.177
- Many of the struggles that christians are facing actually are
- 00:02:34.244 --> 00:02:35.278
- That christians are facing actually are demonic influences.
- 00:02:35.345 --> 00:02:36.379
- Actually are demonic influences. sometimes it is flesh,
- 00:02:36.446 --> 00:02:37.413
- Demonic influences. sometimes it is flesh, but sometimes it is
- 00:02:37.480 --> 00:02:38.648
- Sometimes it is flesh, but sometimes it is actually demonic spirits.
- 00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:39.716
- But sometimes it is actually demonic spirits. if we don't deal with that,
- 00:02:39.782 --> 00:02:40.717
- Actually demonic spirits. if we don't deal with that, then the person is not
- 00:02:40.783 --> 00:02:41.818
- If we don't deal with that, then the person is not going to be able to walk
- 00:02:41.884 --> 00:02:43.219
- Then the person is not going to be able to walk in the full freedom
- 00:02:43.286 --> 00:02:44.387
- Going to be able to walk in the full freedom that jesus has for them.
- 00:02:44.454 --> 00:02:45.722
- In the full freedom that jesus has for them. and so, that's why i often
- 00:02:45.788 --> 00:02:47.257
- That jesus has for them. and so, that's why i often call deliverance
- 00:02:47.323 --> 00:02:48.491
- And so, that's why i often call deliverance the missing link.
- 00:02:48.558 --> 00:02:49.525
- Call deliverance the missing link. it is a missing link
- 00:02:49.592 --> 00:02:50.627
- The missing link. it is a missing link in a person's journey
- 00:02:50.693 --> 00:02:51.794
- It is a missing link in a person's journey of freedom, healing,
- 00:02:51.861 --> 00:02:53.196
- In a person's journey of freedom, healing, sanctification, holiness,
- 00:02:53.263 --> 00:02:55.265
- Of freedom, healing, sanctification, holiness, and walking in transformation
- 00:02:55.331 --> 00:02:56.599
- Sanctification, holiness, and walking in transformation because god wants us
- 00:02:56.666 --> 00:02:57.767
- And walking in transformation because god wants us to be transformed.
- 00:02:57.834 --> 00:02:58.935
- Because god wants us to be transformed. but if we are under some kind
- 00:02:59.002 --> 00:03:00.236
- To be transformed. but if we are under some kind of demonic influence,
- 00:03:00.303 --> 00:03:01.304
- But if we are under some kind of demonic influence, maybe it is heaviness,
- 00:03:01.371 --> 00:03:02.472
- Of demonic influence, maybe it is heaviness, maybe it is oppression,
- 00:03:02.538 --> 00:03:03.640
- Maybe it is heaviness, maybe it is oppression, maybe it is fear,
- 00:03:03.706 --> 00:03:04.807
- Maybe it is oppression, maybe it is fear, maybe it is lust
- 00:03:04.874 --> 00:03:05.908
- Maybe it is fear, maybe it is lust or things like that,
- 00:03:05.975 --> 00:03:07.010
- Maybe it is lust or things like that, lies we believed,
- 00:03:07.076 --> 00:03:08.111
- Or things like that, lies we believed, then we cannot fulfill
- 00:03:08.177 --> 00:03:09.545
- Lies we believed, then we cannot fulfill the calling god has for us.
- 00:03:09.612 --> 00:03:10.780
- Then we cannot fulfill the calling god has for us. so yes, deliverance
- 00:03:10.847 --> 00:03:12.181
- The calling god has for us. so yes, deliverance is for believers.
- 00:03:12.248 --> 00:03:13.449
- So yes, deliverance is for believers. it is part of what jesus came
- 00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:14.484
- Is for believers. it is part of what jesus came to pay the price for
- 00:03:14.550 --> 00:03:15.518
- It is part of what jesus came to pay the price for when he died on the cross.
- 00:03:15.585 --> 00:03:16.686
- To pay the price for when he died on the cross. james: what do you want

- When he died on the cross. james: what do you want people to hear today
- 00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:19.088
- James: what do you want people to hear today who are listening?
- 00:03:19.155 --> 00:03:20.290
- People to hear today who are listening? do they need to wonder
- 00:03:20.356 --> 00:03:21.891
- Who are listening? do they need to wonder am i bothered by demons?
- 00:03:21.958 --> 00:03:23.159
- Do they need to wonder am i bothered by demons? or can they just know
- 00:03:23.226 --> 00:03:24.727
- Am i bothered by demons? or can they just know in fact they are?
- 00:03:24.794 --> 00:03:26.596
- Or can they just know in fact they are? i heard from milton green
- 00:03:26.663 --> 00:03:28.431
- In fact they are? i heard from milton green who prayed deliverance for me.
- 00:03:28.498 --> 00:03:30.633
- I heard from milton green who prayed deliverance for me. it was a miracle that he said,
- 00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:33.936
- Who prayed deliverance for me. it was a miracle that he said, "many of your thoughts
- 00:03:34.003 --> 00:03:35.271
- It was a miracle that he said, "many of your thoughts are not your own."
- 00:03:35.338 --> 00:03:36.472
- "many of your thoughts are not your own." in other words, they didn't
- 00:03:36.539 --> 00:03:37.540
- Are not your own." in other words, they didn't originate with you.
- 00:03:37.607 --> 00:03:38.675
- In other words, they didn't originate with you. they were suggestions
- 00:03:38.741 --> 00:03:39.942
- Originate with you. they were suggestions by the deceiver,
- 00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:41.044
- They were suggestions by the deceiver, the deceiving spirits
- 00:03:41.110 --> 00:03:42.045
- By the deceiver, the deceiving spirits to you and they become
- 00:03:42.111 --> 00:03:44.180
- The deceiving spirits to you and they become tormenting spirits, especially
- 00:03:44.247 --> 00:03:46.949
- To you and they become tormenting spirits, especially when you believe them
- 00:03:47.016 --> 00:03:48.384
- Tormenting spirits, especially when you believe them because you're believing
- 00:03:48.451 --> 00:03:49.519
- When you believe them because you're believing the liar
- 00:03:49.585 --> 00:03:50.620
- Because you're believing the liar so you're believing the lie.
- 00:03:50.687 --> 00:03:51.754
- The liar so you're believing the lie. therefore,
- 00:03:51.821 --> 00:03:52.989
- So you're believing the lie. therefore, you are taken captive
- 00:03:53.056 --> 00:03:54.023
- Therefore, you are taken captive by the effect of that.
- 00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:55.224
- You are taken captive by the effect of that. jake: so one of the keys
- 00:03:55.291 --> 00:03:56.459
- By the effect of that. jake: so one of the keys for people
- 00:03:56.526 --> 00:03:57.760
- Jake: so one of the keys for people to receive deliverance
- 00:03:57.827 --> 00:03:58.928
- For people to receive deliverance is discernment.
- 00:03:58.995 --> 00:04:00.029
- To receive deliverance is discernment. like how do you know
- 00:04:00.096 --> 00:04:01.164
- Is discernment. like how do you know whether something
- 00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:02.298
- Like how do you know whether something you're dealing with
- 00:04:02.365 --> 00:04:03.533
- Whether something you're dealing with is a demonic spirit
- 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:04.701
- You're dealing with is a demonic spirit versus flesh?
- 00:04:04.767 --> 00:04:05.902
- Is a demonic spirit versus flesh? so i like to talk about it
- 00:04:05.968 --> 00:04:07.103
- Versus flesh? so i like to talk about it like it is a light switch.
- 00:04:07.170 --> 00:04:08.271
- So i like to talk about it like it is a light switch. if you walk downstairs
- 00:04:08.338 --> 00:04:09.305
- Like it is a light switch. if you walk downstairs into a basement,
- 00:04:09.372 --> 00:04:10.406
- If you walk downstairs into a basement, you flip the light switch on
- 00:04:10.473 --> 00:04:11.474
- Into a basement, you flip the light switch on and then all of a sudden
- 00:04:11.541 --> 00:04:12.475
- You flip the light switch on and then all of a sudden you can see there is a rodent,
- 00:04:12.542 --> 00:04:13.509
- And then all of a sudden you can see there is a rodent, there is a pest.
- 00:04:13.576 --> 00:04:14.544
- You can see there is a rodent, there is a pest. there is something
- 00:04:14.610 --> 00:04:15.578
- There is a pest. there is something in your house
- 00:04:15.645 --> 00:04:16.612
- There is something in your house that shouldn't be there.
- 00:04:16.679 --> 00:04:17.647
- In your house that shouldn't be there. it was already there but then
- 00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:18.681
- That shouldn't be there. it was already there but then when you turned the light on
- 00:04:18.748 --> 00:04:19.716
- It was already there but then when you turned the light on now you can see it,
- 00:04:19.782 --> 00:04:20.750
- When you turned the light on now you can see it, now you can deal with it.
- 00:04:20.817 --> 00:04:21.784
- Now you can see it, now you can deal with it. so we need to be able
- 00:04:21.851 --> 00:04:22.819
- Now you can deal with it. so we need to be able to discern
- 00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:23.820
- So we need to be able to discern when something is demonic.
- 00:04:23.886 --> 00:04:24.821
- To discern when something is demonic. that can happen
- 00:04:24.887 --> 00:04:25.822
- When something is demonic. that can happen in multiple ways.
- 00:04:25.888 --> 00:04:26.823
- That can happen in multiple ways. sometimes the holy spirit
- 00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:27.824
- In multiple ways. sometimes the holy spirit might show us through
- 00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:28.825
- Sometimes the holy spirit might show us through the gift of discerning spirits
- 00:04:28.891 --> 00:04:29.826
- Might show us through the gift of discerning spirits or through him
- 00:04:29.892 --> 00:04:30.827
- The gift of discerning spirits or through him speaking to us
- 00:04:30.893 --> 00:04:31.928
- Or through him speaking to us or showing the other person.
- 00:04:31.994 --> 00:04:33.062
- Speaking to us or showing the other person. sometimes people discern
- 00:04:33.129 --> 00:04:34.163
- Or showing the other person. sometimes people discern because something manifests.
- 00:04:34.230 --> 00:04:35.264
- Sometimes people discern because something manifests. like they have
- 00:04:35.331 --> 00:04:36.366
- Because something manifests. like they have demonic manifestations.
- 00:04:36.432 --> 00:04:37.467
- Like they have demonic manifestations. maybe somebody is praying
- 00:04:37.533 --> 00:04:38.634
- Demonic manifestations. maybe somebody is praying for them and all of a sudden
- 00:04:38.701 --> 00:04:39.635
- Maybe somebody is praying for them and all of a sudden something comes to the surface
- 00:04:39.702 --> 00:04:40.636
- For them and all of a sudden something comes to the surface in a more outward way
- 00:04:40.703 --> 00:04:42.372
- Something comes to the surface in a more outward way and they recognize oh wow,
- 00:04:42.438 --> 00:04:43.439
- In a more outward way and they recognize oh wow, this is actually
- 00:04:43.506 --> 00:04:44.507
- And they recognize oh wow, this is actually a demonic spirit.
- 00:04:44.574 --> 00:04:45.608
- This is actually a demonic spirit. but sometimes,
- 00:04:45.675 --> 00:04:46.709
- A demonic spirit. but sometimes, it is more of what i call
- 00:04:46.776 --> 00:04:47.810
- But sometimes, it is more of what i call "natural discernment"
- 00:04:47.877 --> 00:04:48.911
- It is more of what i call "natural discernment" when you put pieces together.
- 00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:50.012
- "natural discernment" when you put pieces together. for instance, if a person
- 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:51.381
- When you put pieces together. for instance, if a person wants to be free
- 00:04:51.447 --> 00:04:53.583
- For instance, if a person wants to be free in an area of their life
- 00:04:53.649 --> 00:04:54.984
- Wants to be free in an area of their life but they're not able
- 00:04:55.051 --> 00:04:56.219
- In an area of their life but they're not able to get freedom.
- 00:04:56.285 --> 00:04:57.687
- But they're not able to get freedom. and maybe there have been
- 00:04:57.754 --> 00:04:58.921
- To get freedom. and maybe there have been certain doors in their past
- 00:04:58.988 --> 00:04:59.989
- And maybe there have been certain doors in their past that were opened up
- 00:05:00.056 --> 00:05:01.023
- Certain doors in their past that were opened up to the enemy.
- 00:05:01.090 --> 00:05:02.091
- That were opened up to the enemy. maybe through sin issues,
- 00:05:02.158 --> 00:05:03.292
- To the enemy. maybe through sin issues, maybe through
- 00:05:03.359 --> 00:05:04.360
- Maybe through sin issues, maybe through unforgiveness issues,
- 00:05:04.427 --> 00:05:05.428
- Maybe through unforgiveness issues, maybe they dabbled
- 00:05:05.495 --> 00:05:06.496
- Unforgiveness issues, maybe they dabbled in spiritual occult-type
- 00:05:06.562 --> 00:05:07.563
- Maybe they dabbled in spiritual occult-type things in their past,
- 00:05:07.630 --> 00:05:08.631
- In spiritual occult-type things in their past, so they opened up these doors.
- 00:05:08.698 --> 00:05:09.832
- Are being opened online now.
- 00:05:11.033 --> 00:05:11.968
- Are being opened online now. i think pornography
- 00:05:12.034 --> 00:05:13.035
- I think pornography is being fed online.
- 00:05:13.102 --> 00:05:15.805
- Is being fed online. and i think
- 00:05:15.872 --> 00:05:17.039
- And i think those visual images
- 00:05:17.106 --> 00:05:18.274
- They open the door for
- 00:05:20.076 --> 00:05:21.310
- They open the door for a deceiving spirit to come in
- 00:05:21.377 --> 00:05:23.079
- They open the door for a deceiving spirit to come in and get a grip on people;
- 00:05:23.146 --> 00:05:24.480
- A deceiving spirit to come in and get a grip on people; on their mind,
- 00:05:24.547 --> 00:05:25.648
- And get a grip on people; on their mind, on their appetite.
- 00:05:25.715 --> 00:05:26.816
- On their mind, on their appetite. and literally,
- 00:05:26.883 --> 00:05:27.884
- On their appetite. and literally, it will be a torment
- 00:05:27.950 --> 00:05:29.952
- And literally, it will be a torment because they're always
- 00:05:30.019 --> 00:05:31.254
- It will be a torment because they're always putting things before you
- 00:05:31.320 --> 00:05:32.355
- Because they're always putting things before you to reach out for
- 00:05:32.422 --> 00:05:33.389
- Putting things before you to reach out for that you can't have
- 00:05:33.456 --> 00:05:34.424
- To reach out for that you can't have or shouldn't have.
- 00:05:34.490 --> 00:05:35.458
- That you can't have or shouldn't have. but they become a tormenter;
- 00:05:35.525 --> 00:05:36.492
- Or shouldn't have. but they become a tormenter; they become
- 00:05:36.559 --> 00:05:37.527
- But they become a tormenter; they become a controlling spirits.
- 00:05:37.593 --> 00:05:38.561
- They become a controlling spirits. and those are evil spirits.
- 00:05:38.628 --> 00:05:39.595

- "unclean spirits."
- 00:05:41.764 --> 00:05:42.698
- "unclean spirits." and so a lot of times,
- 00:05:42.765 --> 00:05:43.733
- And so a lot of times, things are related
- 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:44.767
- Things are related to uncleanliness,
- 00:05:44.834 --> 00:05:45.802
- To uncleanliness, and immorality.
- 00:05:45.868 --> 00:05:46.836
- And immorality. like you said, pornography.
- 00:05:46.903 --> 00:05:47.870
- Like you said, pornography. i've seen many people
- 00:05:47.937 --> 00:05:48.905
- I've seen many people that were struggling
- 00:05:48.971 --> 00:05:49.939
- That were struggling with some sort of addiction
- 00:05:50.006 --> 00:05:51.107
- Or sexual sin
- 00:05:52.208 --> 00:05:53.109
- Or sexual sin and they were trying,
- 00:05:53.176 --> 00:05:54.110
- Or sexual sin and they were trying, they were trying to repent,
- 00:05:54.177 --> 00:05:55.111
- And they were trying, they were trying to repent, they were trying
- 00:05:55.178 --> 00:05:56.112
- They were trying to repent, they were trying to read the word but then
- 00:05:56.179 --> 00:05:57.180
- They were trying to read the word but then they received deliverance
- 00:05:57.246 --> 00:05:58.181
- To read the word but then they received deliverance and that was again
- 00:05:58.247 --> 00:05:59.182
- They received deliverance and that was again that missing link,
- 00:05:59.248 --> 00:06:00.183
- And that was again that missing link, something that was missing.
- 00:06:00.249 --> 00:06:01.184
- That missing link, something that was missing. and when that unclean spirit
- 00:06:01.250 --> 00:06:02.185
- Something that was missing. and when that unclean spirit got cast out
- 00:06:02.251 --> 00:06:03.186
- And when that unclean spirit got cast out then they were able
- 00:06:03.252 --> 00:06:04.187
- Got cast out then they were able to choose freedom.
- 00:06:04.253 --> 00:06:05.188
- In that freedom.
- 00:06:06.289 --> 00:06:07.190
- In that freedom. betty: don't you think

- Betty: don't you think sometimes we allow
- 00:06:08.257 --> 00:06:09.192
- Sometimes we allow those spirits to come in too
- 00:06:09.258 --> 00:06:10.326
- Those spirits to come in too because we think
- 00:06:10.393 --> 00:06:11.327
- Because we think that's not so bad?
- 00:06:11.394 --> 00:06:12.361
- That's not so bad? or do we entertain a thought
- 00:06:12.428 --> 00:06:14.931
- We should just say go away.
- 00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.802

- To take up my time, my thoughts that way. but sometimes,
- 00:06:23.239 --> 00:06:24.273
- My thoughts that way. but sometimes, it doesn't seem so bad
- 00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:25.274
- But sometimes, it doesn't seem so bad so we go that's okay.

- That they have a spirit that has captured them or is deceiving them,
- 00:07:56.232 --> 00:07:57.500
- That has captured them or is deceiving them, or you know it?
- 00:07:57.567 --> 00:07:58.634
- Or is deceiving them, or you know it? how do you deal with them?
- 00:07:58.701 --> 00:08:00.069
- Or you know it? how do you deal with them? jake: so i often teach
- 00:08:00.136 --> 00:08:01.170
- How do you deal with them? jake: so i often teach about three keys
- 00:08:01.237 --> 00:08:02.338
- Jake: so i often teach about three keys for deliverance.
- 00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:03.506
- About three keys for deliverance. the first one we talked about
- 00:08:03.573 --> 00:08:04.574
- For deliverance. the first one we talked about which is discernment.
- 00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:05.741
- The first one we talked about which is discernment. the second one is to close
- 00:08:05.808 --> 00:08:06.842
- Which is discernment. the second one is to close the door on the enemy.
- 00:08:06.909 --> 00:08:08.077
- The second one is to close the door on the enemy. and then the third one
- 00:08:08.144 --> 00:08:09.145
- The door on the enemy. and then the third one is to use our authority
- 00:08:09.211 --> 00:08:10.212
- And then the third one is to use our authority and cast out the demon.
- 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:11.414
- Is to use our authority and cast out the demon. so james 4:7 says,
- 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:12.715
- And cast out the demon. so james 4:7 says, "submit yourself to god,
- 00:08:12.782 --> 00:08:13.950
- So james 4:7 says, "submit yourself to god, resist the devil,
- 00:08:14.016 --> 00:08:15.251
- "submit yourself to god, resist the devil, and he will flee."
- 00:08:15.318 --> 00:08:16.452
- Resist the devil, and he will flee." so that's a simple version
- 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:17.687
- And he will flee." so that's a simple version of a prayer for deliverance.
- 00:08:17.753 --> 00:08:19.555
- So that's a simple version of a prayer for deliverance. so closing the door
- 00:08:19.622 --> 00:08:20.790
- Of a prayer for deliverance. so closing the door looks like repentance
- 00:08:20.856 --> 00:08:21.924
- So closing the door looks like repentance if a person has sin issues.
- 00:08:21.991 --> 00:08:23.092
- Looks like repentance if a person has sin issues. it is repentance
- 00:08:23.159 --> 00:08:24.360
- If a person has sin issues. it is repentance if it is unforgiveness
- 00:08:24.427 --> 00:08:25.561
- It is repentance if it is unforgiveness in their heart,
- 00:08:25.628 --> 00:08:26.862
- If it is unforgiveness in their heart, then i would lead them
- 00:08:26.929 --> 00:08:27.997
- In their heart, then i would lead them through forgiving
- 00:08:28.064 --> 00:08:29.131
- Then i would lead them through forgiving people who have hurt them
- 00:08:29.198 --> 00:08:30.232
- Through forgiving people who have hurt them or they have bitterness.
- 00:08:30.299 --> 00:08:31.400
- People who have hurt them or they have bitterness. if they've been involved
- 00:08:31.467 --> 00:08:32.501
- Or they have bitterness. if they've been involved in the occult
- 00:08:32.568 --> 00:08:33.603
- If they've been involved in the occult then i'll lead them
- 00:08:33.669 --> 00:08:34.704
- In the occult then i'll lead them through renouncing
- 00:08:34.770 --> 00:08:35.805
- Then i'll lead them through renouncing that spiritual activity.
- 00:08:35.871 --> 00:08:36.906
- Through renouncing that spiritual activity. and so that step
- 00:08:36.973 --> 00:08:38.007
- That spiritual activity. and so that step is to close the door,
- 00:08:38.074 --> 00:08:39.108
- And so that step is to close the door, submit yourself to god.
- 00:08:39.175 --> 00:08:40.676
- Is to close the door, submit yourself to god. and then,
- 00:08:40.743 --> 00:08:42.144
- Submit yourself to god. and then, once that person does that,
- 00:08:42.211 --> 00:08:43.546
- And then, once that person does that, then we go into
- 00:08:43.613 --> 00:08:44.647
- Once that person does that, then we go into resist the devil
- 00:08:44.714 --> 00:08:45.715
- Then we go into resist the devil which is the actual authority
- 00:08:45.781 --> 00:08:46.782
- Resist the devil which is the actual authority that jesus has given us
- 00:08:46.849 --> 00:08:47.883
- Which is the actual authority that jesus has given us as believers to make commands.
- 00:08:47.950 --> 00:08:49.085
- That jesus has given us as believers to make commands. we can actually command
- 00:08:49.151 --> 00:08:50.252
- As believers to make commands. we can actually command unclean spirits
- 00:08:50.319 --> 00:08:51.554
- We can actually command unclean spirits to go from people,
- 00:08:51.621 --> 00:08:52.788
- Unclean spirits to go from people, to come out of people,
- 00:08:52.855 --> 00:08:53.823
- To go from people, to come out of people, and they have to obey us
- 00:08:53.889 --> 00:08:55.191
- To come out of people, and they have to obey us in christ.
- 00:08:55.257 --> 00:08:56.392
- And they have to obey us in christ. so i try to keep it simple
- 00:08:56.459 --> 00:08:57.426
- In christ. so i try to keep it simple with those practical steps.
- 00:08:57.493 --> 00:08:58.861
- So i try to keep it simple with those practical steps. every case is unique
- 00:08:58.928 --> 00:09:00.329
- With those practical steps. every case is unique so there is no formula.
- 00:09:00.396 --> 00:09:01.631
- Every case is unique so there is no formula. we always have to rely on
- 00:09:01.697 --> 00:09:02.932
- So there is no formula. we always have to rely on the power of the holy spirit,
- 00:09:02.999 --> 00:09:04.367
- We always have to rely on the power of the holy spirit, the leading
- 00:09:04.433 --> 00:09:05.601
- The power of the holy spirit, the leading of the holy spirit,
- 00:09:05.668 --> 00:09:06.669
- The leading of the holy spirit, but those are some
- 00:09:06.736 --> 00:09:07.737
- Of the holy spirit, but those are some basic biblical keys
- 00:09:07.803 --> 00:09:08.838
- But those are some basic biblical keys that you can apply
- 00:09:08.904 --> 00:09:09.839
- Basic biblical keys that you can apply to many situations.
- 00:09:09.905 --> 00:09:10.940
- That you can apply to many situations. betty: the enemy
- 00:09:11.007 --> 00:09:12.041
- To many situations. betty: the enemy will try to tell you,
- 00:09:12.108 --> 00:09:13.109
- Betty: the enemy will try to tell you, it is not simple.
- 00:09:13.175 --> 00:09:14.176
- Will try to tell you, it is not simple. god says, i'm right here.
- 00:09:14.243 --> 00:09:16.646
- Just trust me.
- 00:09:17.780 --> 00:09:18.681
- Just trust me. confess to me
- 00:09:18.748 --> 00:09:19.782
- Confess to me and i will forgive you.
- 00:09:19.849 --> 00:09:20.916
- And i will forgive you. i will teach you
- 00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:22.351
- I will teach you and show you how to walk
- 00:09:22.418 --> 00:09:23.819
- And show you how to walk in the right way.
- 00:09:23.886 --> 00:09:24.887
- In the right way. but the enemy wants you
- 00:09:24.954 --> 00:09:26.222
- There is no way out of this.
- 00:09:27.923 --> 00:09:29.158
- There is no way out of this. you're condemned.
- 00:09:29.225 --> 00:09:30.393
- There is no way out of this. you're condemned. jake: he does
- 00:09:30.459 --> 00:09:31.927
- You're condemned. jake: he does and that's how he operates.
- 00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:33.729
- Jake: he does and that's how he operates. it is so important to remember
- 00:09:33.796 --> 00:09:35.064
- And that's how he operates. it is so important to remember that we are fighting
- 00:09:35.131 --> 00:09:36.298
- Because jesus
- 00:09:38.567 --> 00:09:40.002
- Because jesus already paid the price.
- 00:09:40.069 --> 00:09:41.203
- Already paid the price. it is part of what
- 00:09:41.270 --> 00:09:42.571
- It is part of what he purchased on the cross.
- 00:09:42.638 --> 00:09:43.706
- He purchased on the cross. that's why he shed his blood.
- 00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:44.840
- That's why he shed his blood. so we're actually fighting
- 00:09:44.907 --> 00:09:45.975
- Of victory in christ.
- 00:09:47.576 --> 00:09:48.678
- Of victory in christ. james: you don't beg
- 00:09:48.744 --> 00:09:49.879
- Of victory in christ. james: you don't beg the demon to leave,
- 00:09:49.945 --> 00:09:51.080
- James: you don't beg the demon to leave, you tell him to leave.
- 00:09:51.147 --> 00:09:52.281
- You live as more
- 00:09:53.816 --> 00:09:55.084
- You live as more than a conqueror.
- 00:09:55.151 --> 00:09:56.285
- Than a conqueror. you can walk over the enemy
- 00:09:56.352 --> 00:09:57.486
- You can walk over the enemy like dust, like a scorpion,
- 00:09:57.553 --> 00:09:59.689
- That's what he wants us to do.
- 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.226
- That's what he wants us to do. the thing about it is
- 00:10:04.293 --> 00:10:05.394
- That's what he wants us to do. the thing about it is how do you help people
- 00:10:05.461 --> 00:10:06.729
- The thing about it is how do you help people understand, okay,
- 00:10:06.796 --> 00:10:08.464
- How do you help people understand, okay, if i've broken the power
- 00:10:08.531 --> 00:10:09.632
- Understand, okay, if i've broken the power of the enemy in this area
- 00:10:09.699 --> 00:10:11.233
- If i've broken the power of the enemy in this area of deception and defeat,
- 00:10:11.300 --> 00:10:12.835
- Of the enemy in this area of deception and defeat, what do i do to stay free?
- 00:10:12.902 --> 00:10:14.970
- Of deception and defeat, what do i do to stay free? what's the best thing
- 00:10:15.037 --> 00:10:16.405
- What do i do to stay free? what's the best thing i can do?
- 00:10:16.472 --> 00:10:17.606
- What's the best thing i can do? jake: that's a great question
- 00:10:17.673 --> 00:10:18.708
- I can do? jake: that's a great question because once we're set free
- 00:10:18.774 --> 00:10:19.842
- Jake: that's a great question because once we're set free we want to get established
- 00:10:19.909 --> 00:10:21.077
- Because once we're set free we want to get established in that place of freedom.
- 00:10:21.143 --> 00:10:22.311
- We want to get established in that place of freedom. and so a couple
- 00:10:22.378 --> 00:10:23.546
- In that place of freedom. and so a couple of key points there,
- 00:10:23.612 --> 00:10:24.814
- And so a couple of key points there, one is renewing our minds
- 00:10:24.880 --> 00:10:26.148
- Of key points there, one is renewing our minds through the word of god.
- 00:10:26.215 --> 00:10:27.483
- One is renewing our minds through the word of god. because we can get delivered
- 00:10:27.550 --> 00:10:28.584
- Through the word of god. because we can get delivered from something
- 00:10:28.651 --> 00:10:29.685
- Because we can get delivered from something but now we need
- 00:10:29.752 --> 00:10:30.686
- From something but now we need to have our mind renewed.
- 00:10:30.753 --> 00:10:31.854
- But now we need to have our mind renewed. that happens as we replace
- 00:10:31.921 --> 00:10:32.922
- To have our mind renewed. that happens as we replace those lies with the truth.
- 00:10:32.988 --> 00:10:34.090
- That happens as we replace those lies with the truth. and as we spend time
- 00:10:34.156 --> 00:10:35.157
- Those lies with the truth. and as we spend time in the word,
- 00:10:35.224 --> 00:10:36.258
- And as we spend time in the word, meditating on the word,
- 00:10:36.325 --> 00:10:37.460
- In the word, meditating on the word, we spend time with god
- 00:10:37.526 --> 00:10:38.594
- Meditating on the word, we spend time with god and just get filled up
- 00:10:38.661 --> 00:10:39.695
- We spend time with god and just get filled up by his spirit,
- 00:10:39.762 --> 00:10:40.896
- And just get filled up by his spirit, that's really key.
- 00:10:40.963 --> 00:10:42.364
- By his spirit, that's really key. and then we're ready
- 00:10:42.431 --> 00:10:43.499
- That's really key. and then we're ready to resist the devil.
- 00:10:43.566 --> 00:10:44.700
- And then we're ready to resist the devil. if that demon
- 00:10:44.767 --> 00:10:45.835
- To resist the devil. if that demon tries to come back
- 00:10:45.901 --> 00:10:46.969
- If that demon tries to come back and knock on the door,
- 00:10:47.036 --> 00:10:48.104
- Tries to come back and knock on the door, we recognize it right away.
- 00:10:48.170 --> 00:10:49.238
- And knock on the door, we recognize it right away. we just say,
- 00:10:49.305 --> 00:10:50.372
- We recognize it right away. we just say, no, we resist that.
- 00:10:50.439 --> 00:10:51.507
- We just say, no, we resist that. and the more we do that,
- 00:10:51.574 --> 00:10:52.908
- No, we resist that. and the more we do that, the more established we get
- 00:10:52.975 --> 00:10:54.043
- And the more we do that, the more established we get in that place of freedom.
- 00:10:54.110 --> 00:10:55.177
- The more established we get in that place of freedom. then we can walk
- 00:10:55.244 --> 00:10:56.312
- In that place of freedom. then we can walk in that full victory.
- 00:10:56.378 --> 00:10:57.446
- Then we can walk in that full victory. james: if people would realize
- 00:10:57.513 --> 00:10:59.014
- In that full victory. james: if people would realize that you can have
- 00:10:59.081 --> 00:11:00.716
- James: if people would realize that you can have a conversation with god,
- 00:11:00.783 --> 00:11:01.984
- That you can have a conversation with god, where you talk to god,
- 00:11:02.051 --> 00:11:03.552
- A conversation with god, where you talk to god, train yourself to listen
- 00:11:03.619 --> 00:11:05.020
- Where you talk to god, train yourself to listen because he loves
- 00:11:05.087 --> 00:11:06.455
- Train yourself to listen because he loves to talk to people
- 00:11:06.522 --> 00:11:08.190
- Because he loves to talk to people who love to hear his word,
- 00:11:08.257 --> 00:11:09.925
- To talk to people who love to hear his word, hear his voice,
- 00:11:09.992 --> 00:11:11.393
- Who love to hear his word, hear his voice, know his mind,
- 00:11:11.460 --> 00:11:12.695
- Hear his voice, know his mind, and know his will.
- 00:11:12.762 --> 00:11:14.130
- Know his mind, and know his will. and so pray that way.
- 00:11:14.196 --> 00:11:15.931
- And know his will. and so pray that way. but also, you renew your mind
- 00:11:15.998 --> 00:11:17.967
- And so pray that way. but also, you renew your mind when you're reading
- 00:11:18.033 --> 00:11:19.168
- But also, you renew your mind when you're reading a love letter from god.
- 00:11:19.235 --> 00:11:20.269
- When you're reading a love letter from god. when you realize
- 00:11:20.336 --> 00:11:21.403
- A love letter from god. when you realize god wrote this to me.
- 00:11:21.470 --> 00:11:22.571
- When you realize god wrote this to me. he didn't just write it
- 00:11:22.638 --> 00:11:23.639
- God wrote this to me. he didn't just write it to the new testament disciples
- 00:11:23.706 --> 00:11:25.341
- He didn't just write it to the new testament disciples and the new testament
- 00:11:25.407 --> 00:11:26.575
- To the new testament disciples and the new testament christians and people
- 00:11:26.642 --> 00:11:27.810
- And the new testament christians and people through the ages,
- 00:11:27.877 --> 00:11:28.878
- Christians and people through the ages, he has written a letter to me.
- 00:11:28.944 --> 00:11:30.379
- Through the ages, he has written a letter to me. and if you take it that way
- 00:11:30.446 --> 00:11:31.747
- He has written a letter to me. and if you take it that way as something personal,
- 00:11:31.814 --> 00:11:33.115
- And if you take it that way as something personal, it becomes
- 00:11:33.182 --> 00:11:34.617
- As something personal, it becomes almost conversational
- 00:11:34.683 --> 00:11:35.985
- It becomes almost conversational when you're reading the word.
- 00:11:36.051 --> 00:11:37.186
- Almost conversational when you're reading the word. that is renewing the mind.
- 00:11:37.253 --> 00:11:38.954
- When you're reading the word. that is renewing the mind. our mind is changed
- 00:11:39.021 --> 00:11:41.690
- That is renewing the mind. our mind is changed by the word of god.
- 00:11:41.757 --> 00:11:43.359
- Our mind is changed by the word of god. the word also opens our ears
- 00:11:43.425 --> 00:11:45.261
- By the word of god. the word also opens our ears so that we can hear him.
- 00:11:45.327 --> 00:11:47.363
- The word also opens our ears so that we can hear him. and hearing comes

- 00:24:13.441 --> 00:24:14.509
- And for good reason. part of it was paul's stubbornness
- 00:24:14.576 --> 00:24:15.877
- Part of it was paul's stubbornness that caused him to focus
- 00:24:15.944 --> 00:24:17.212

- 00:25:09.898 --> 00:25:11.800
- That's incredible purpose. but i propose that there is at least one more way
- 00:25:11.866 --> 00:25:13.702

- 00:25:27.248 --> 00:25:28.383

- 00:25:28.450 --> 00:25:29.951

- 00:25:30.018 --> 00:25:31.252
- Who's in and who's out. it seems that god enjoys shattering
- 00:25:31.319 --> 00:25:32.654
- It seems that god enjoys shattering their expectations though.
- 00:25:32.721 --> 00:25:34.089

- 00:25:46.001 --> 00:25:47.535
- Yet, many would have never considered him qualified to do so,
- 00:25:47.602 --> 00:25:49.571
- Never considered him qualified to do so, because of the way
- 00:25:49.638 --> 00:25:50.839

- 00:25:55.677 --> 00:25:57.012

- Would have suggested a more mainstream candidate to help paul.
- 00:26:11.126 --> 00:26:12.861
- A more mainstream candidate to help paul. but god had a different idea.
