00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,480
Anatomy of a Prayer is the most 
important video I have produced.

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,720
Those with an ear to hear and a 
mind to learn. 

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,280
It will help through the coming 
difficult times. 

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,800
I have divided the Anatomy of a 
Prayer into sections. 

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,800
If this video is too long for 
you, just visit my Channels and 

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,080
they'll be in the library in the
link in the description if you 

7
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:39,200
wish to download them. 
He shall call upon me and I will

8
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,680
answer him. 
I will be with him in trouble. 

9
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:44,360
I will deliver him and honor 
him. 

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,360
The most basic definition of 
prayer is talking to God. 

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Prayer is not meditation or 
passive reflection. 

12
00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,800
It is direct address to God. 
It is the communication of the 

13
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,400
human soul with the Lord who 
created the soul. 

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,320
Prayer is the primary way for 
the believer in Jesus Christ to 

15
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:13,160
communicate his emotions and 
desires with God and to 

16
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,320
fellowship with God. 
Unbelievers postulate that the 

17
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,040
Scriptures are only theory or 
even worse, a fable. 

18
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,760
But when we study and learn what
are we asked to do in school, we

19
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,520
have labs where we practice what
is written in the school texts. 

20
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,360
People who struggle 
understanding the scriptures 

21
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,720
today don't do the lab work and 
therefore they wrongfully 

22
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,560
believe the scriptures can be 
ignored. 

23
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,480
This video will be an in depth 
look into prayer and it will 

24
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,480
have examples along with a 
prayer collection free for 

25
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,720
download in the library. 
Link in the description of this 

26
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:32,150
video. 
Ask and it will be given to you.

27
00:02:32,230 --> 00:02:37,110
Seek and you will find Knock and
the door will be opened to you. 

28
00:02:37,870 --> 00:02:45,110
For everyone who asks, receives,
he who seeks finds, and to him 

29
00:02:45,110 --> 00:02:47,470
who knocks, the door will be 
opened. 

30
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,040
When you pray, the goal is to 
receive that prayer or get what 

31
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:59,080
you pray for. 
One of the most heinous acts 

32
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,400
against God is the redefining of
Him by the occultists. 

33
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,320
That's actually how the 
occultists take over the minds 

34
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,720
of the masses. 
They redefine words, redefine 

35
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,160
concepts. 
This enables them to take 

36
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,520
control of subject matter and 
from that foundation build off 

37
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,720
of that incorrect teaching. 
Even more, since Copernicus, 

38
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,760
occultists have begun tearing 
down the biblical teachings one 

39
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520
topic to the next. 
For prayer. 

40
00:03:31,640 --> 00:03:34,680
The occultists came up with the 
vengeful God of the Old 

41
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Testament versus the loving God 
of the New Testament. 

42
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,600
To pray properly, it is 
important to know who you are 

43
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,840
praying to. 
And God has never changed. 

44
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,640
He never will. 
His wrath has only come because 

45
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:56,040
of man succumbing to great evil.
God is just, and that means that

46
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,920
your prayers must be just too. 
What does that mean? 

47
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,800
Prayers must be in the realm of 
God's plan. 

48
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,960
This is called reverent 
submission. 

49
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Not as I will, but as you will. 
Your will be done. 

50
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,560
It consists of renouncing your 
own will and embracing the will 

51
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,560
of God. 
If a prayer goes against God's 

52
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,280
plan, it is a satanic prayer. 
Remember in Matthew 16 when 

53
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Jesus is telling the disciples 
of his death and Peter rebuked 

54
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:35,680
the plan, how did Jesus respond?
He said get behind me Satan, you

55
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,480
are a hindrance to me, for you 
are not setting your mind on the

56
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,400
things of God but on the things 
of man. 

57
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,640
Praying for Jesus to live sounds
good, but it would have 

58
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,880
destroyed God's plan and our 
salvation. 

59
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,920
Another example, just praying 
for millions of dollars like the

60
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,240
prosperity gospel would not 
work. 

61
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,480
What if in your current 
relationship with God, becoming 

62
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,800
a millionaire would falsely 
cause you to believe you don't 

63
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,080
require God's help anymore? 
Even just subconsciously, you 

64
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,720
would start to fall away. 
Would it be wise for God to 

65
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,760
grant your prayer? 
Of course not. 

66
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,120
God will not lead your charge 
towards your own destruction. 

67
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,840
So when we pray for anything, we
need to begin by asking 

68
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:33,920
ourselves, am I praying for this
because I want it or because God

69
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,720
wants it? 
It makes a great deal of 

70
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,960
difference. 
If it is because I want it, my 

71
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,680
prayers may not be answered, but
if it is because God wants it, 

72
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,400
then my prayers will be 
answered. 

73
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,040
Praying is an intimate 
relationship building practice 

74
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,440
and because of this, praying in 
private is not only important 

75
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,120
but necessary. 
And when you pray, do not be 

76
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,480
like the hypocrites, for they 
love to pray, standing in the 

77
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,320
synagogues and on the street 
corners to be seen by others. 

78
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,680
Truly, I tell you, they have 
received the reward in full. 

79
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,240
But when you pray, go into your 
room, close the door and pray to

80
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,960
your Father who is unseen. 
Then your Father, who sees what 

81
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,080
is done in secret, will reward 
you. 

82
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,480
And when you pray, do not keep 
on babbling like the pagans, for

83
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,880
they think they will be heard 
because of their many words. 

84
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,920
Do not be like them, for your 
Father knows what you need 

85
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,080
before you ask Him. 
Now obviously this is not 

86
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,200
talking about praying together 
as a group. 

87
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,440
That is a different matter. 
But in a prayer group you also 

88
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,400
do that privately in a home or 
designated building or location,

89
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,480
even if it is a street corner. 
Have you ever wondered why some 

90
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,920
wear cloth over their heads when
they pray? 

91
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,520
Not only because of First 
Corinthians 11 where a cloth can

92
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,600
represent a woman's hair, thus 
showing obedience to God as long

93
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,120
hair is a natural covering, it's
also a makeshift closet for a 

94
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,160
man and woman to use. 
God loves your presence, so just

95
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:19,280
be with Him. 
So seek Him when you pray, even 

96
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,200
if you only have 10% of faith. 
Or the faith, the. 

97
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Size of a mustard seed for God. 
It's a start and something he 

98
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,640
can work with. 
That 10% faith will have what is

99
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,120
required to grow and learn that 
10% faith in prayer and 

100
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,120
scripture reading is 
exponentially better than to 

101
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,200
have no faith when you pray but 
read scriptures. 

102
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,320
Having 0 faith is denying God 
and if you have denied God, God 

103
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,440
will deny you. 
But whoever denies me before 

104
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,680
men, I will also deny him before
my Father in heaven. 

105
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:01,880
Seeking out God literally brings
him closer to you, so that 10% 

106
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,680
of faith will grow to 15%, then 
20%, and so on. 

107
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,840
The presence of God through the 
Holy Spirit will teach you and 

108
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,080
prepare you. 
Your wisdom will rise and your 

109
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:24,510
discernment will grow. 
When you pray, it is important 

110
00:08:24,510 --> 00:08:27,630
to remove your guilt that you 
have in everyday life. 

111
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Approach God with confidence and
not condemnation. 

112
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,480
Remove that guilt through 
prayer. 

113
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,919
We know that God will forgive us
when we repent of our sins. 

114
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,120
So this admittance and 
repentance is what allows us to 

115
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,320
be washed of the sin as if we 
never committed that sin. 

116
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,960
So do not dwell and condemn for 
that is the work of the demonic.

117
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,960
Just repent and if needed 
request help from Jesus. 

118
00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:01,600
Jesus, take this thought from 
me, for I cannot bear it. 

119
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,080
The thought can be anything 
leading to sin. 2 Scriptures 

120
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,880
from the book of Hebrews tells 
us why we should approach God 

121
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,400
with confidence. 
Here is the first. 

122
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,640
Therefore, let us draw near with
confidence to the throne of 

123
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,440
grace, so that we may receive 
mercy and find grace to help in 

124
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,800
time of need. 
We are praying to someone who is

125
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,800
on a throne. 
A throne indicates a king. 

126
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,000
This is not merely a king, but 
the king, the King of all kings,

127
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:37,120
the Lord of all Lords, the 
supreme ruler of the universe, 

128
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,520
the one who said all authority 
has been given to me in heaven 

129
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,720
and on earth. 
We are praying to someone who 

130
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,560
has both the authority and the 
power to do what we ask. 

131
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,040
Let's lift our eyes from 
ourselves and our own needs and 

132
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,480
problems and look up to that 
glorious throne. 

133
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,600
Then it is a throne of grace. 
Grace is one of the keywords in 

134
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,640
the New Testament. 
It always stands for something 

135
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,920
that goes beyond anything we can
earn or achieve by our own 

136
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,520
efforts. 
Because it is a throne of grace,

137
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:17,400
we are not limited to what we 
deserve or what we can achieve, 

138
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,760
or what our own efforts can 
accomplish for us. 

139
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,800
One awareness I have always had 
in my Christian life is that I 

140
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,960
stand in need of the mercy of 
God. 

141
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,520
This scripture encourages me to 
believe that if I ever come for 

142
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,200
mercy, mercy is what I'll 
receive. 

143
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,680
The reason some people do not 
receive mercy is simply that 

144
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,480
they never see their need of it 
and come in faith to receive it.

145
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Secondly, therefore, brethren, 
since we have confidence to 

146
00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:52,200
enter the holy place by the 
blood of Jesus, let us draw near

147
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,520
with a sincere heart in full 
assurance of faith. 

148
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,080
Confidence, full assurance. 
Everything suggests boldness, 

149
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,560
boldness based upon the fact 
that the blood of Jesus has been

150
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:10,640
shed and has been sprinkled in 
the very presence of God. 

151
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,160
The blood is now speaking on our
behalf even when we do not know 

152
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,320
how to pray. 
The positive side of coming to 

153
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,960
God boldly is to come with 
confidence. 

154
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,880
The other side is that we come 
without condemnation. 

155
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,760
Several passages of Scripture 
speak about the need to be free 

156
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,640
from condemnation. 
Here's one from the Psalms. 

157
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,640
If I regard wickedness in my 
heart, the Lord will not hear. 

158
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,360
To regard iniquity in my heart 
means that I am conscious of 

159
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,600
something that condemns me. 
Every time I approach God with 

160
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,440
faith, Satan reminds me of this 
flaw that is not right, that has

161
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,600
not been dealt with. 
It might be a sin that has not 

162
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,840
been confessed, or if it has 
been confessed, I have not 

163
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,560
claimed or received God's 
forgiveness. 

164
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,960
If I am conscious of this flaw 
in my heart, I will not receive 

165
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,360
that which I pray for. 
I must remove the consciousness 

166
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,120
of sin from within my heart and 
come boldly before His throne. 

167
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,120
Basically this is done by. 
Faith. 

168
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,760
Because if we confess our sin, 
God is faithful and just to 

169
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,280
forgive our sins and to cleanse 
us from all unrighteousness. 

170
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,760
Once we confess, repent, and 
trust God for the forgiveness 

171
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,880
and the cleansing that He has 
promised, we must not go on 

172
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,520
worrying about our sins. 
If we do, if we remain sin 

173
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,360
conscious as we pray, God will 
not hear our prayers. 

174
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,760
If I regard iniquity in my 
heart, the Lord will not hear 

175
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,120
me. 
But do you know what the 

176
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,800
psalmist goes on to say? 
The Lord has heard me. 

177
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,280
In other words, he rose above 
Satan's attempt to condemn him. 

178
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,160
John expressed the same thought.
Beloved, if our heart does not 

179
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:06,080
condemn us, we have confidence 
before God and whatever we ask 

180
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,760
we receive from him. 
We have to get rid of any 

181
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,840
attitude that suggests some kind
of righteousness in ourselves. 

182
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,120
We have no righteousness of our 
own. 

183
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,600
We must come to a place where we
are trusting in God's 

184
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,480
faithfulness and that produces 
confidence. 

185
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,720
Forgiveness is imperative. 
In the Sermon on the Mount, one 

186
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,440
of the things Jesus taught us to
say, as I suppose we all know, 

187
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880
is this. 
Forgive us our debts as we 

188
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,120
forgive our debtors. 
Forgive us as we forgive others.

189
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,200
What we might not realize is 
that this is an important 

190
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,760
condition for receiving answers 
to prayer. 

191
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,680
Jesus also said, And whenever 
you stand praying, if you have 

192
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:51,240
anything against anyone, forgive
Him. 

193
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,760
Now that does not leave out 
anything or anybody. 

194
00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,040
When you pray, forgive that. 
Your Father in heaven may also 

195
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,640
forgive you your trespasses. 
But if you do not forgive, 

196
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,600
neither will your Father in 
heaven forgive your trespasses. 

197
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,080
This is absolutely clear and it 
is spoken to believers, those 

198
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,840
who have God as their heavenly 
Father before you. 

199
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,880
And I pray we must forgive. 
It will do no good to try to 

200
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,160
approach God in prayer with 
unforgiveness in our hearts 

201
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:37,240
against anybody about anything. 
Ask God according to God's Word.

202
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,840
This is intimately related to 
the previous condition being 

203
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,520
directed by the Holy Spirit. 
You see, the great issue in 

204
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,680
prayer is the will of God. 
If I am praying according to the

205
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,520
will of God, then as we have 
seen in Scripture, I know that 

206
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,320
God hears me. 
And if I know that God hears me,

207
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:04,280
I know that I have the petition 
that I ask, how do I know the 

208
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,200
will of God? 
Where is the will of God 

209
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,320
revealed? 
The answer is in His word. 

210
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,120
The great revelation of the will
of God is the Word of God. 

211
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,680
And the Word of God is packed 
from the beginning to end with 

212
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,160
divine promises. 
The apostle Peter calls them 

213
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,720
exceedingly great and precious 
promises. 

214
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,120
And do you know what those 
promises are? 

215
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,120
The promises of God. 
Are the will of God. 

216
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,520
Thus, when you find a promise 
that relates to your situation 

217
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,480
and meets your need, that 
promise is God's will for you. 

218
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,920
God never promised anything that
was not His will. 

219
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,400
Anything else would be 
inconsistent. 

220
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Suppose you came to him and 
said, Lord, you promised he 

221
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:59,360
would not say, yes, I promise, 
but I don't want to do it. 

222
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,160
This is the great secret that 
clinches our life of prayer. 

223
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,280
We pray according to God's will 
as revealed in His Word. 

224
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,040
So David came and relaxed before
Almighty God and said something 

225
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,600
on this order. 
God, you have been so good to 

226
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,840
me. 
I want to take a little time and

227
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,000
appreciate you and thank you for
your goodness. 

228
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Then David said this. 
And now, O Lord, the word which 

229
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,160
you have spoken concerning your 
servant and concerning his 

230
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,360
house, let it be established 
forever, and do as you have 

231
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,480
said. 
Those 5 short words of one 

232
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480
syllable each contain the 
essence of effective praying. 

233
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:48,400
Do as you have said, Lord, you 
said it, please do it. 

234
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:54,720
If God has said He will do it, 
and you ask Him to do it, you 

235
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,360
can know He is going to do it. 
His promises are the revelation 

236
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:15,720
of His will. 
If you were just starting out in

237
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,520
prayer, how do you start? 
You start from a contrite or 

238
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,960
remorseful heart, and you start 
with repentance and a request 

239
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,000
for the Holy Spirit or ruah ha 
kodesh. 

240
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,160
That is what salvation requires.
Let's start with the Salvation 

241
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:40,200
prayer from bridemovement.com. 
In order to be saved, we must 

242
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,000
not only believe that Jesus 
died, but that he was 

243
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,080
resurrected on the third day. 
The victory wasn't in the death,

244
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,920
but in the resurrection of Jesus
Christ when he arose, having all

245
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:58,920
power in heaven and on earth. 
He later ascended to heaven and 

246
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,320
sat down at the right hand of 
the Father, where he remains to 

247
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,240
this day, continually making 
intercession for us. 

248
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,600
This is the God that I serve. 
This is the God of love. 

249
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,720
This is the gospel of Jesus 
Christ. 

250
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,320
The Bible says that if we 
confess the Lord Jesus Christ 

251
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,440
with our mouth and believe that 
God has raised him from the dead

252
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,440
in our heart, we will be saved. 
If you believe this testimony of

253
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,320
Jesus Christ in your heart, then
you can confess this prayer with

254
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,440
your mouth and you will be 
saved. 

255
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Jesus, I come before you and 
acknowledge that I am a Sinner. 

256
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,360
I repent, I call upon your name,
and I ask you to cleanse me with

257
00:18:44,360 --> 00:18:48,160
your blood. 
Forgive me of my sins. 

258
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,160
I invite you into my heart. 
Jesus Christ, I believe that you

259
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,480
were born a virgin, died, and 
were resurrected on the third 

260
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,040
day that I might have eternal 
life. 

261
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:06,040
I open my life to you and I ask 
you to come in and be my Lord 

262
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,240
and Savior. 
Thank you for saving me. 

263
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:17,840
In Jesus name I pray, Amen. 
Let us take the Sermon on the 

264
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,480
Mount and the Lord's Prayer in 
Matthew. 6. 

265
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,680
This prayer is a template given 
to us on how we should pray. 

266
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,920
Jesus starts by saying in this 
manner, pray our Father in 

267
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,240
heaven, hallowed be your name, 
your Kingdom come, your will be 

268
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,720
done on earth as it is in 
heaven. 

269
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,760
If you've been paying attention,
you'll hear the points laid out 

270
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,320
for you previously in this 
video. 

271
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,560
First of all, we address God as 
Father, our Father in heaven. 

272
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:52,440
That makes all the difference. 
We are not praying to a remote 

273
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,280
or unknown deity or some 
impersonal force. 

274
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,320
We are praying to a person who 
has made himself our Father 

275
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,240
through Jesus Christ. 
The next phrase, hallowed be 

276
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,360
your name, expresses an attitude
of reverence of worship. 

277
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,000
After we have acknowledged God 
as Father, we need to adopt an 

278
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,840
attitude of reverence. 
Next we come to the two 

279
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,280
petitions. 
Your Kingdom come and then your 

280
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,280
will be done on earth as it is 
in heaven. 

281
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,120
Notice that we do not begin by 
praying for what we need. 

282
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,040
That follows. 
Give us this day Our Daily Bread

283
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,040
and forgive us our trespasses. 
But that is not where we start. 

284
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,840
We start with God's purposes. 
What is important to God? 

285
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,680
When done genuinely, it sheds 
our natural conceit and reveals 

286
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,840
our humility. 
Now we need to have a little 

287
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,480
clarity about the way the 
Kingdom is established. 

288
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,360
Paul defined the Kingdom in its 
essential nature. 

289
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,800
The Kingdom of God is not eating
and drinking, but righteousness 

290
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,800
and peace and joy in the Holy 
Spirit. 

291
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,600
Righteousness comes first. 
Without true righteousness, 

292
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,840
there will never be true peace. 
The world today talks a great 

293
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,120
deal about peace. 
Many sections of the church are 

294
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:25,080
praying for peace. 
That is a good prayer, but bear 

295
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,400
in mind that without 
righteousness, peace will never 

296
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,160
come. 
God says twice through the 

297
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,480
prophet Isaiah that there is no.
Peace for the wicked. 

298
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,680
The Kingdom can come invisibly, 
both in the individual hearts of

299
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,960
believers and in fellowship of 
the true Church. 

300
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:49,040
But that is not the ultimate. 
The ultimate is the visible 

301
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,360
establishment of God's Kingdom. 
And just as the invisible 

302
00:21:53,360 --> 00:21:56,640
Kingdom requires a king, so does
the visible Kingdom. 

303
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,440
Only when the king himself has 
returned visibly and in person 

304
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,840
can the true Kingdom of God be 
established on earth. 

305
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,200
Then Jesus said this in his 
prayer. 

306
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,000
Your will be done on Earth. 
As it is in heaven. 

307
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,720
I beseech you, therefore, 
brethren, by the mercies of God,

308
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,960
that you present your bodies a 
living sacrifice, holy, 

309
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,000
acceptable to God, which is your
reasonable service, and do not 

310
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,040
be conformed to this world, but 
be transformed by the renewing 

311
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:37,160
of your mind, that you may prove
what is that good and acceptable

312
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,560
and perfect will of God. 
For I say. 

313
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,360
Through the grace given to me, 
to everyone who is among you, 

314
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,240
not to think of himself more 
highly than he ought to think, 

315
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:54,560
but to think soberly, as God has
dealt to each one a measure of 

316
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,320
faith. 
For as we have many members in 

317
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,560
one body, but all the members do
not have the same function, so 

318
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,800
we being many, are one body in 
Christ, and individually members

319
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,000
of one another. 
Having then gifts, deferring 

320
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,600
according to the grace that is 
given to us, let us use them. 

321
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,360
If prophecy, let us prophecy in 
proportion to our faith or 

322
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:21,920
ministry, let us use it in our 
ministry. 

323
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:27,360
He who teaches in teaching, He 
who exhorts in exhortation, He 

324
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:32,200
who gives with liberality, He 
who leads with diligence, He who

325
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,680
shows mercy with cheerfulness, 
this is what God's will be done 

326
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,800
means. 
This does not mean everything is

327
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,920
perfect on earth, but it means 
that in any given situation, 

328
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,000
God's purpose and solution can 
be perfectly worked out. 

329
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,280
Do you believe that? 
You see, you will pray 

330
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,280
differently if you convince 
yourself that it's true. 

331
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,640
Once you have successfully and 
righteously begun your prayer, 

332
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,560
you may enter into the next 
stage where you ask for bread 

333
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,160
and forgiveness of sin, as you 
have forgiven others who sinned 

334
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,320
against you. 
Then for strength against 

335
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,960
temptation of the flesh, because
God is the Kingdom and the power

336
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,520
and deserves all the glory for 
all time. 

337
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:52,120
To understand spiritual warfare,
we need to understand what we 

338
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:56,200
are fighting against. 
Scripture reveals that at the 

339
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,160
present time, Satan's 
headquarters are in the 

340
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,600
heavenlies or second heaven. 
Paul gives us a clear picture of

341
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,000
this in his letter to the 
Ephesians. 

342
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,040
For we wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against 

343
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,840
principalities, against powers, 
against the rulers of darkness 

344
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,960
of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places. 

345
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,680
The King James Version, while 
quite familiar, does not give us

346
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,360
the most accurate translation. 
Let's break this verse down into

347
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:30,720
a more literal understanding. 
For we wrestle not against flesh

348
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,480
and blood, but against 
principalities, against powers. 

349
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,040
In Ephesians and other passages,
the words principalities and 

350
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,240
powers are often joined closely 
together. 

351
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,040
The word principalities derived 
directly from the Greek word for

352
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,760
ruler. 
The word power, is the word for 

353
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,120
authority. 
So to say that our wrestling 

354
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:57,360
match as believers is not 
against flesh and blood, not 

355
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,720
against human beings, but 
against rulerships in the realms

356
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,840
of their authority. 
It is also against rulers of the

357
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,440
darkness of this world. 
A more literal wording of this 

358
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,040
would be against the world 
rulers of the present darkness. 

359
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:19,360
The darkness of this present age
has a world headquarters from 

360
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:22,440
which it is ruled. 
The headquarters is the mid 

361
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,960
heaven and the ruler is Satan. 
In Ephesians 22, Satan is called

362
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,160
the Prince of the power of the 
air. 

363
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,800
He is then the ruler of the 
realm of authority that is 

364
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,440
defined by the air. 
Many people picture Satan living

365
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,640
down in the bowels of the earth.
He's not there. 

366
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,800
He's in the heavenlies. 
Obviously he is not in the 

367
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,560
heaven that is God's dwelling. 
He was cast down from that, but 

368
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,400
neither is he on earth. 
Revelation 12/9 tells us that a 

369
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,880
time is coming when he will be 
cast down out of the heavenlies 

370
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:02,520
onto earth. 
Then it says he is going to make

371
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,080
all the trouble he can in the 
short time that is left to him. 

372
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,200
But in the meanwhile, up to the 
fulfillment of that passage in 

373
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,240
Revelation 12, his headquarters 
are in the mid heaven. 

374
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,200
We also wrestle against 
spiritual wickedness in high 

375
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,800
places. 
The King James wording high 

376
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,400
places here is completely 
misleading. 

377
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,720
The same Greek word is used 
numerous times in Ephesians, and

378
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,280
in each of these places it is 
correctly translated heavenly. 

379
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,400
Now let's view our more literal 
translation of Ephesians 612. 

380
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,200
Our wrestling match is not 
against flesh and blood, but 

381
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,160
against rulerships and the 
realms of their authority, 

382
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:46,920
against the world rulers of the 
present darkness, against the 

383
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,680
spiritual forces of wickedness 
in the heavenly. 

384
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,680
This is our spiritual conflict 
in the book of Daniel. 

385
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,160
The Bible gives us a vivid 
picture of this battle in 

386
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,720
progress. 
Let's turn there. 

387
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,040
Daniel, taken from Israel to 
Babylon as a youth, remained a 

388
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,960
fervent student of the 
literature of his people. 

389
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:10,760
As such, he was aware that the 
prophetic timeline of the 

390
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,960
Babylonian captivity was coming 
to a close in the first year of 

391
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,360
his reign. 
I Daniel, understood by the 

392
00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:21,120
books the number of the years 
specified by the word of the 

393
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:24,120
Lord through Jeremiah the 
prophet, that he would 

394
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:27,520
accomplish 70 years in the 
desolations of Jerusalem. 

395
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,240
Daniel began to pray for this 
approaching eventuality with the

396
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,920
time of fasting. 
In those days I Daniel, was 

397
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,080
mourning 3 full weeks. 
I ate no pleasant food, no meat 

398
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,120
or wine came to my mouth, nor 
did I anoint myself at all till 

399
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,960
three whole weeks were 
fulfilled. 

400
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,600
Daniel saw what God had 
committed himself to do and 

401
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,760
responded with this attitude. 
God, I'm in this with you. 

402
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,080
Count me in. 
I'll give myself to prayer and 

403
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,720
fasting as I never have done 
before until I see the 

404
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,840
fulfillment of your promise and 
experience. 

405
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,840
We will explore the theme of 
fasting as a powerful component 

406
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,440
to our prayers, particularly as 
regards to the church in the 

407
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,600
last days. 
For now, we note that fasting is

408
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,520
a kind of spiritual mourning. 
Jesus said in the Sermon on the 

409
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,320
Mount. 
Blessed are those who mourn, for

410
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,520
they shall be comforted. 
Let me note that we must be very

411
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,520
sensitive to the Holy Spirit 
about this. 

412
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,800
We should not try to mourn when 
the Holy Spirit is comforting 

413
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,280
us, and we should not try to 
work up excitement and thrill 

414
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,280
when the Holy Spirit is calling 
us to mourning. 

415
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,120
Daniel spent 21 days mourning, 
praying, and waiting upon God. 

416
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,040
He did not fast completely, but 
he abstained from all except the

417
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,720
most basic forms of food and 
drink. 

418
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,760
At the end of three weeks, the 
Archangel Gabriel was sent to 

419
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,640
Daniel with revelation of God's 
purpose for Israel in the last 

420
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,440
days. 
The rest of chapter 10 and the 

421
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,320
next two chapters of Daniel 
describe the advent of the 

422
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,600
Angel, his appearance, and the 
revelation that he brought. 

423
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,360
For our purposes of 
understanding spiritual warfare,

424
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,400
let's look at the timeline of 
the angels appearing. 

425
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,960
Then he said to me, Do not fear 
Daniel, for from the first day 

426
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,520
that you set your heart to 
understand and to humble 

427
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,800
yourself before your God, your 
words were heard, and I have 

428
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,240
come because of your words. 
Daniel's prayer was heard the 

429
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,880
first day that he started to 
pray, but the Angel did not 

430
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,480
arrive till three weeks later. 
What happened in the meanwhile? 

431
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,160
The next verse tells us this. 
But the Prince of the Kingdom of

432
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,640
Persia withstood me 21 days. 
And behold, Michael, one of the 

433
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,840
chief Princess, came to help me,
for I had been left alone there 

434
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,760
with the kings of Persia. 
When the Archangel Gabriel spoke

435
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,960
about the Prince of the Kingdom 
of Persia, he was not talking 

436
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,440
about a human being, he was 
talking about one of the dark 

437
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,000
angels in the mid heaven. 
Gabriel started on his journey 

438
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,400
the first day that Daniel 
started to pray. 

439
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,560
Angelic warfare in the 
heavenlies withheld his arrival.

440
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,480
The good holy angels were 
opposed and resisted by Satan's 

441
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,240
angels, the angels of darkness. 
But notice it was Daniel's 

442
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,600
prayer on earth that got the 
Archangel through. 

443
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,200
Do you see how important our 
prayers are? 

444
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,920
The Archangel depended on Daniel
and his prayer to get through. 

445
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,720
Notice also that the initiative 
is with earth, not heaven. 

446
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,400
Daniel started the whole thing 
moving. 

447
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,320
And I venture to say in certain 
respects this remains true 

448
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,840
today. 
We are not waiting for God, God 

449
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,440
is waiting for us. 
When we move, heaven will move. 

450
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,040
Then we'll come conflict and our
prayers on earth will settle it.

451
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,000
We who are believers and know 
how to pray are much more 

452
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,240
important than most of us have 
the faintest idea. 

453
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,840
This is the basic picture of 
spiritual conflict as it is 

454
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,360
unfolded in Scripture. 
When the Angel left Daniel, he 

455
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,800
gave this further insight. 
And now I must return to fight 

456
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,040
with the Prince of Persia. 
And when I have gone forth, 

457
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,960
indeed the Prince of Greece will
come. 

458
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,200
The Prince of Persia was a 
satanic Angel that dominated the

459
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,520
Kingdom of Persia. 
This was of particular 

460
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,760
importance to Daniel because 
Persia was ruling over God's 

461
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,960
people, Israel. 
When the Persian Empire was 

462
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,120
defeated, the Empire of Greece 
followed. 

463
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,560
Behind the empire of Greece was 
another Satanic Angel called the

464
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,680
Prince of Greece. 
This shows us that Earth's 

465
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,840
empires have their counterpart 
in Satan's empire. 

466
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,960
In other words, Satan seeks to 
control the empires of Earth 

467
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,680
through its rulers in order to 
make its leaders and governments

468
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:04,240
instruments of his will. 
We must pray against this. 

469
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,480
The decisive factor in this 
Great War with Satan is just one

470
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,360
thing. 
Praying believers. 

471
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,520
We are the ones who tip the 
scale for victory on God's side,

472
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:20,400
on earth, in our dominion. 
This is an astonishing fact, but

473
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,760
Scripture makes it clear that 
this is so. 

474
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,880
Our prayers are not unimportant.
They are not secondary. 

475
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,720
They are the decisive issue in 
the entire spiritual conflict. 

476
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,600
True believers are the most 
powerful weapon. 

477
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,720
This is why God removes the 
tares from the wheat and why 

478
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,880
there is a great falling away. 
The true believers prayers will 

479
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,520
be in concentrate form. 
This is also why the true 

480
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,200
believers are haunted down and 
murdered. 

481
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:57,240
Welcome to revelation. 
If we are involved in spiritual 

482
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,960
warfare against a spiritual 
enemy, it is obvious that we 

483
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,120
must have spiritual weapons. 
Carnal weapons are of no use 

484
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:10,920
whatever for spiritual warfare. 
You're not going to get God a 

485
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,320
demon with a GAT. 
You can't blast a fallen 

486
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,639
messenger with infrared homing 
missiles built by Stark 

487
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,120
Enterprises. 
This is what Paul said. 

488
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,280
For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war according to the 

489
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,040
flesh. 
For the weapons of our warfare 

490
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,960
are not carnal, but mighty in 
God for pulling down 

491
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,719
strongholds. 
Strongholds are the altars built

492
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,360
to worship the demonic realm and
the fallen messengers in 

493
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,040
whatever terminology they are 
representing themselves as such,

494
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,320
but not limited to the Egyptian 
Sumerian, the Greek, Canaanite, 

495
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:57,200
Roman Norris gods and demigods. 
These altars hosted human and 

496
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,480
animal sacrifices, blood 
drinking, sex, magic, and 

497
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,560
rituals, all designed to break 
down the veil and allow entities

498
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,080
behind the veil to roam freely 
in our domain. 

499
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,600
Whose business is it to pull 
them down? 

500
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,080
Ours. 
And we have been given the 

501
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,200
weapons, the weapons of our 
warfare, cast down arguments at 

502
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,600
every high thing that exalts 
itself against the knowledge of 

503
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:23,240
God. 
The great high thing that exalts

504
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:25,040
itself against the knowledge of 
God is. 

505
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,280
Satan's Kingdom. 
In the heavenlies, we have been 

506
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,960
given the weapons to cast 
Satan's Kingdom down. 

507
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,160
We are the ones who are going to
do it. 

508
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,320
The weapons have been placed in 
our hands rather than the hands 

509
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,120
of the angels, though the angels
have their weapons. 

510
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,680
God has provided us three main 
spiritual weapons, the Word of 

511
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:53,080
God, the name of Jesus, and the 
blood of Jesus. 

512
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,280
We launch these weapons by these
means, prayer, praise, 

513
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,960
preaching, and testimony. 
Let's look at these briefly. 

514
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,760
In Ephesians, Paul lists the 
spiritual armor that the 

515
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,400
Christian soldiers need for 
spiritual conflict. 

516
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,680
The first five items of armor 
are all defensive, girding our 

517
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,600
waist with truth, putting on the
breastplate of righteousness, 

518
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,440
seeing that our feet are shot 
with the preparation of the 

519
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,440
gospel of peace, taking up the 
shield of faith and the helmet 

520
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,120
of salvation. 
These protect the believer. 

521
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:32,520
There is no weapon of offense or
attack until we come to the 6th 

522
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:37,200
item, which is the sword of the 
Spirit, which is the Word of 

523
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,720
God. 
Here is the great weapon of 

524
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:42,360
attack. 
If you do not use the Word of 

525
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,240
God, you may be able to protect 
yourself, but you have nothing 

526
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:49,600
to attack Satan with. 
If you want to put Satan to 

527
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,240
flight, if you want to get him 
out of your way, out of your 

528
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:58,320
home, out of your family, out of
your business, if you do not 

529
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,440
want just to tolerate him and 
hold him off, the weapon you 

530
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,440
must use is the weapon of 
attack, the sword of the Spirit,

531
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:11,080
which is the Word of God. 
Note too, that it is the sword 

532
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,680
of the Holy Spirit. 
We can take God's Word in our 

533
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,000
mouths, but it only achieves its
full effect when it is the Holy 

534
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,560
Spirit within us. 
Who actually wields it? 

535
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,240
The perfect pattern of how to 
use the sword of the Spirit is 

536
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:30,280
provided by Jesus's encounter 
with Satan at the time of his 

537
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,560
temptation in the wilderness. 
Three times Satan approached 

538
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,080
Jesus with a temptation, and 
each time Jesus drove him back 

539
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:40,680
with the same phrase it is 
written. 

540
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,760
Jesus used no other weapon but 
the spoken word of the Lord. 

541
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,040
God has made the same weapon 
available to each Christian. 

542
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,400
It is important, however, to 
bear two things in mind. 

543
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,000
First, Jesus had already been 
filled with the Holy Spirit. 

544
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:59,080
It was the Holy Spirit in Jesus 
who directed him in the use of 

545
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,480
the sword. 
And 2nd, Jesus, like every 

546
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,880
Jewish boy of his day, had 
memorized long passages of 

547
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,120
Scripture. 
When Satan confronted him, he 

548
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,440
did not need to consult the 
concordance or go to a library. 

549
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,600
He had already stored up the 
Scriptures in his memory. 

550
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:20,440
Surely we today need to do that 
just as much as Jesus did. 

551
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,800
Another powerful weapon for us 
to use is the name of Jesus. 

552
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,600
These two verses in Psalms 8 
gives us a unique understanding.

553
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,760
O Lord our Lord, how excellent 
is Your name in all the earth, 

554
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:44,560
who have set Your glory above 
the heavens, out of the mouth of

555
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,280
babes and nursing infants. 
You have ordained strength 

556
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,480
because of your enemies, that 
you may silence the enemy and 

557
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,880
the Avenger. 
The enemy and the Avenger is 

558
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,920
Satan, and God has given us the 
means to silence him. 

559
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,760
I hope you have connected the 
name of the Avenger with the 

560
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,400
satanic institution. 
Marvel. 

561
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,080
Your children are marveling over
The Avengers, the ones who come 

562
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,280
to earth to corrupt and destroy 
you. 

563
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,000
So take up your weapon. 
What is the weapon? 

564
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,200
It is the name of the Lord. 
O Lord our Lord, how excellent 

565
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,320
is your name in all the earth. 
The channel that launches the 

566
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,680
name is the human mouth, out of 
the mouth of babes and nursing 

567
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,800
infants. 
Spiritual things find expression

568
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,240
out of the mouth. 
This is true for both good and 

569
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:41,760
evil. 
Look at Revelation 16 verse 13, 

570
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,480
for instance. 
John saw three unclean spirits 

571
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,600
like frogs come out of the mouth
of the dragon, out of the mouth 

572
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,000
of the beast, and out of the 
mouth of the false prophet. 

573
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,880
Why does the psalmist refer to 
the mouth of babes as nursing 

574
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,160
infants? 
To show that we do not have to 

575
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,000
be spiritual giants. 
God has chosen the weak, the 

576
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,480
foolish, the things that are 
despised to bring to not all 

577
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,520
Satan's Kingdom in the 
heavenlies. 

578
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,280
The devil is so busy trying to 
keep you from praising the Lord 

579
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,200
when you effectively perfectly 
with your whole heart in unison.

580
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:20,120
With one accord, praise the name
of Jesus. 

581
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:25,240
It shuts the devil's mouth and 
if ever there was a thing he 

582
00:40:25,240 --> 00:40:28,760
does not like, it is to have his
mouth shut. 

583
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,720
He will do everything he can, 
religious pressure, social 

584
00:40:33,720 --> 00:40:37,800
pressure, fear of man to keep 
you from turning loose in your 

585
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,840
prayers and praising the name of
Jesus. 

586
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,600
The land and air around us can 
be purified through perfect 

587
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:53,120
praise. 
The blood of Jesus. 

588
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:58,680
Revelation 12, verse 11. 
They overcame him by the blood 

589
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,440
of the Lamb and by the word of 
their testimony. 

590
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:04,280
Who is they? 
The believers on earth. 

591
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,840
Who is him? 
Satan. 

592
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:13,200
What I want to emphasize is that
the final victory comes not to 

593
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,080
God's angels, but to the 
believers. 

594
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,600
This passage describes war in 
heaven. 

595
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,880
Michael and his angels are 
fighting. 

596
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:23,640
Satan and his angels are 
fighting. 

597
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:28,080
But the believers overcame him 
by the blood of the Lamb and by 

598
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:32,240
the word of their testimony. 
When you want to praise Jesus or

599
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:35,200
utter the word of God, or 
testify to what the Lord has 

600
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,080
done for you, Satan will put a 
barrier in front of your lips. 

601
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,640
Why? 
Because you are casting down a 

602
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,280
stronghold. 
The blood of Jesus is the 

603
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,440
ultimate weapon. 
The whole issue of our battle 

604
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,640
against evil centers in one 
thing, righteousness. 

605
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,160
Because of Jesus's 
righteousness, God has made it 

606
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,480
possible that the devil will 
have nothing to bring against us

607
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,800
in heaven. 
God made Jesus, who knew no sin,

608
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:07,000
to be sin for us, that we might 
become the righteousness of God 

609
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,560
in him. 
You can proffer the best Baptist

610
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,360
lifestyle, you have the best 
Methodist principles, the best 

611
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,080
Roman Catholic piety, and he can
tear it to shreds. 

612
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,160
But when you bring in the 
righteousness of Jesus Christ, 

613
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:24,560
he is silent. 
He has nothing more to say. 

614
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,120
You will find that you can 
almost measure your spiritual 

615
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:32,280
progress by the extent to which 
you accept and appropriate by 

616
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,840
faith the righteousness of Jesus
Christ on your own behalf. 

617
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:40,400
This is the great lesson that we
have to learn as children of 

618
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,800
God. 
We are accepted in the Beloved 

619
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:46,880
not for what we are, but for 
what Jesus is. 

620
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,320
The words of Jesus in Matthew 
633 are often misunderstood. 

621
00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:57,400
Seek first the heaven of God and
his righteousness, in other 

622
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,160
words, not your own 
righteousness. 

623
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:05,400
In Romans 10/3, Paul wrote that 
the Jewish nation was attempting

624
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,360
to establish its own 
righteousness. 

625
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,280
They had not submitted 
themselves to the righteousness 

626
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:16,560
of God by faith in Jesus Christ.
It takes humility to accept 

627
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:21,440
Jesus righteousness because it 
means first of all we have 

628
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,840
renounced every shred of our old
self righteousness. 

629
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,160
All our righteousness are like 
filthy rags. 

630
00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:33,760
Notice not our sins, but our 
righteousness are nothing more 

631
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:38,120
than filthy rags in God's sight.
As long as we flaunt the filthy 

632
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,560
rags of our church membership, 
our good. 

633
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,080
Deeds. 
Our godly living, the devil will

634
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,400
tear us to shreds in the 
presence of God, but when we 

635
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:52,240
come to the place where we are 
relying on nothing but the blood

636
00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:56,200
of Jesus Christ and His 
righteousness, there is nothing 

637
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:01,640
in us that the devil can put his
finger on and bring up by way of

638
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:06,160
accusation before God. 
You might want to commit these 

639
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,600
verses to memory. 
Forgiven in Christ. 

640
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:13,600
Ephesians 17 tells us two things
that we have when we are in 

641
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,400
Christ. 
In Christ we have redemption 

642
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,520
through His blood, the 
forgiveness of sins according to

643
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:24,200
the riches of His grace. 
Remember when we are outside of 

644
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,840
Christ, the blood does not 
avail. 

645
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:32,040
Redemption means bought back by 
a ransom price that had to be 

646
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,320
paid. 
Psalm one O 7 verse 2. 

647
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:40,160
Let the redeemed of the Lord say
so, whom He has redeemed from 

648
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:44,080
the hand of the enemy. 
This, by the way, is one of the 

649
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,240
most powerful scriptures for 
teaching us the value of 

650
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:49,760
testimony. 
Let the redeemed of the Lord say

651
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,640
so means to take the Word and 
use it. 

652
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:57,320
Here then is my testimony on the
basis of Ephesians 17. 

653
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,400
Through the blood of Jesus, I am
redeemed out of the hand of the 

654
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,720
devil. 
This same scripture tells me 

655
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:08,040
that all my sins are forgiven. 
So my next testimony is this, 

656
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:11,800
through the blood of Jesus all 
my sins are forgiven. 

657
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,120
Next is first John chapter one, 
verse 7. 

658
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,240
If we walk in the light as Jesus
is in the light, we have 

659
00:45:21,240 --> 00:45:25,680
fellowship with one another and 
the blood of Jesus Christ, God's

660
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:30,720
Son, cleanses us from all sin. 
These verbs are all continuing 

661
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:33,640
present tenses indicating an 
ongoing process. 

662
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:37,400
If we walk in the light 
continuously, we will have 

663
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,640
fellowship continuously and the 
blood will cleanse us 

664
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,320
continuously. 
The cleansing by the blood of 

665
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,720
Jesus is not a single isolated 
experience. 

666
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,720
It is ever present. 
This is why we pray without 

667
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:54,360
ceasing that fellowship and 
prayer keeps us cleansed. 

668
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:59,160
If I am meeting the conditions, 
if I am walking in the light, if

669
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,560
I am in fellowship with my 
fellow believers, then my 

670
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:06,400
testimony is this. 
The blood of Jesus Christ, God's

671
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,000
Son, continually cleanses me 
from all sin. 

672
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,600
Romans 59 tells us that we are 
justified by His blood. 

673
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,960
The word justified is not 
understood by many present day 

674
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,760
believers. 
Just and righteousness are 

675
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,800
interchangeable terms both in 
Hebrew and in Greek, in the Old 

676
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,080
Testament and in the New. 
So to be justified means to be 

677
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,480
made righteous. 
Here is our next testimony. 

678
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:41,400
Through the blood of Jesus I am 
justified, made righteous, just 

679
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:47,160
as if I'd never sinned. 
Hebrews 1312 tells us that 

680
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,400
through the blood of Jesus we 
are sanctified, that He might 

681
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,640
sanctify the people with his own
blood suffered outside the gate.

682
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,760
The word sanctify is similar in 
form to the word justify. 

683
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,640
To justify means to make just or
righteous. 

684
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,280
To sanctify means to make 
saintly or holy. 

685
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:11,440
Here is our next testimony. 
Through the blood of Jesus, I am

686
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:15,120
sanctified, made holy, set apart
to God. 

687
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,680
The climax of our testimony is 
found in First Corinthians 

688
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:25,600
chapter 6, verse 19 and 20. 
I want to look first, however, 

689
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,800
at two other verses from this 
chapter in First Corinthians. 

690
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,960
Here is one. 
Now the body is not for sexual 

691
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,000
immorality, but for the Lord, 
and the Lord for the body. 

692
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:42,080
And then we read, Do you not 
know that your bodies are 

693
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,800
members of Christ? 
Or do you not know that your 

694
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,560
body is the temple of the Holy 
Spirit who is in you, whom you 

695
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,400
have from God, and you are not 
your own? 

696
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:58,720
For you were bought at a price. 
Therefore glorify God in your 

697
00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:01,920
body and in your spirit, which 
are gods. 

698
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,440
The Lord wants you for Himself. 
He has paid the price of His 

699
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,760
precious blood. 
If you want to hold on to your 

700
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,320
own life, you can. 
But remember, in that case you 

701
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,880
have not been bought. 
You cannot have it both ways. 

702
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:22,240
If you belong to God, you do not
belong to yourself. 

703
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,080
If you belong to yourself, you 
do not belong to God. 

704
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:30,800
This is our next testimony. 
My body is a temple of the Holy 

705
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:35,440
Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, 
sanctified by the blood of 

706
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,640
Jesus. 
Therefore, Satan has no place in

707
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,320
me, no power over me through the
blood of Jesus. 

708
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,840
Here then, is our testimony by 
which we apply the blood to our 

709
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,760
lives. 
The references precede each 

710
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,280
confession. 
Through the blood of Jesus, I am

711
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,720
redeemed out of the hand of the 
devil. 

712
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,720
Through the blood of Jesus, all 
my sins are forgiven. 

713
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,960
The blood of Jesus Christ, God's
Son, cleanses me continually 

714
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,680
from all sin. 
Through the blood of Jesus, I am

715
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:13,080
justified, made righteous, just 
as if I'd never sinned. 

716
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,440
Through the blood of Jesus I am 
sanctified, made holy and set 

717
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,840
apart. 
My body is a temple of the Holy 

718
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:26,040
Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, 
sanctified by the blood of 

719
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,840
Jesus. 
Therefore, Satan has no place in

720
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,840
me, no power over me through the
blood of Jesus. 

721
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:37,880
If you really believe those 
words, the next. 

722
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,000
Thing to do is. 
Praise the Lord for it. 

723
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,440
Here is a word of praise that 
you might use. 

724
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,320
Thank you God, for the precious 
blood of Jesus. 

725
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,280
Thank you for the redemptive 
blood of Christ. 

726
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,920
Thank you for the justifying, 
sanctifying, precious blood of 

727
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,160
the Lamb of God. 
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

728
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,200
I praise you, Jesus, for you 
paid the price of my redemption.

729
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,440
You shed your precious blood on 
the cross. 

730
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,560
You are the Lamb slain from the 
foundation of the world. 

731
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,880
And now, Lord, I have taken the 
blood from the basin and 

732
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:17,720
transferred it to my own 
personal needs by the word of my

733
00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:19,640
testimony. 
Amen. 

734
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,760
Let me direct. 
Your attention to one more 

735
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,480
passage of Scripture that is 
relevant to this type of prayer.

736
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaking about Jesus, the Word 
says this. 

737
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:35,200
This is he who came by the water
and blood, Jesus Christ, not 

738
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,920
only by water, but by water and 
blood. 

739
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,600
And it is the Spirit who bears 
witness, because the Spirit is 

740
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,480
truth. 
There are three that bear 

741
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:50,240
witness on earth, the Spirit, 
the water and the blood, and 

742
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:54,040
these three agree as one. 
There is nothing in the 

743
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,080
Christian life that is just a 
set of rules. 

744
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,720
Salvation is not a technique. 
Healing is not a technique. 

745
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,000
Deliverance from evil spirits is
not a technique. 

746
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,840
Anybody who tries to reduce any 
of these things to a set of 

747
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,560
rules misses the point. 
The purpose of it all is this. 

748
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,600
When we use the water of the 
Word, when we use the blood in 

749
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,080
our testimony, and when the 
Spirit bears witness, then 

750
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:23,240
heaven's floor drops out and 
heaven comes to earth. 

751
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:30,040
Wherever God's people fast and 
come together and praise, there 

752
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,440
always will be prophetic 
revelation. 

753
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,280
Prophetic ministry comes out of 
the fellowship of God's people 

754
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,320
earnestly seeking Him. 
No religious games, no parlor 

755
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:45,320
tricks, no spiritual cocktail 
parties, just desperate hearts 

756
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,640
before God. 
You minister to the Lord. 

757
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,600
He ministers to your problems. 
If God's people could only see 

758
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,320
this. 
Our weapons are mighty through 

759
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,680
God. 
We reach up to God and we split 

760
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:03,000
that mid heaven of darkness 
between us. 

761
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,440
God reaches down and touches 
whatever problems we face as 

762
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,400
nations and individuals when we 
use the spiritual weapons that 

763
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,720
God has given us. 
God will be just as faithful to 

764
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,240
us today. 
Matthew chapter 18 verse 19 and 

765
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:21,640
20. 
Again I say to you that if 2 of 

766
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,880
you agree on earth concerning 
anything that they ask, it will 

767
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:28,240
be done for them by my Father in
heaven. 

768
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,840
For where two or three are 
gathered together in My name, I 

769
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:49,360
am there in the midst of them. 
There are twelve types of 

770
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:56,560
prayer, praise and Thanksgiving,
Worship, petition, intercession,

771
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:02,800
supplication, command, 
commitment, dedication, 

772
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:10,720
persistence, blessing, 
imprecatory or cursing, praise 

773
00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:14,720
and Thanksgiving. 
It is a good habit to start your

774
00:53:14,720 --> 00:53:16,840
prayers with praise and 
Thanksgiving. 

775
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:23,600
Praise is offered to God for who
He is and what He does in 

776
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,680
general. 
Thanksgiving is offered to God 

777
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:32,960
for what He has done for us. 
In particular, Psalms 48 verse 

778
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:37,800
one tells us great is the Lord 
and greatly to be praised. 

779
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:43,520
Praise is vocal, it is uttered. 
Praise should be offered in 

780
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:47,040
proportion to God's own person. 
He is great. 

781
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:52,640
Great in wisdom, great in power,
great in His creative works, 

782
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,640
great in His redemptive acts, 
great in His dealings with us. 

783
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,600
Everything that God is and does 
is great. 

784
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,560
He should therefore be greatly 
praised. 

785
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,880
We never waste time when we are 
praising the Lord. 

786
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:18,520
Most of us do it far too little.
Thanksgiving is also vocal. 

787
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:24,240
It takes all the greatness that 
is universal about God and makes

788
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:27,160
it specific to our particular 
cases. 

789
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:33,800
Listen to what Paul said. 
Be anxious for nothing, but in 

790
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:38,560
everything by prayer and 
supplication with Thanksgiving. 

791
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,560
Let your requests be made known 
to God. 

792
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:47,600
Thanksgiving and praise gives us
direct access to God. 

793
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:52,640
Psalm 100, verse 4 gives these 
familiar words. 

794
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,280
Enter His gates with 
Thanksgiving and His courts with

795
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,080
praise. 
Give thanks to Him. 

796
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,200
Bless His name. 
The gate leads into the courts. 

797
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,400
The courts lead into His 
presence. 

798
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,000
You get through the gates with 
Thanksgiving and through the 

799
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,320
courts with praise. 
Then you are there. 

800
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,160
The true worshippers will 
worship the Father in spirit and

801
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:23,200
truth. 
Worship. 

802
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,800
Worship is not singing hymns or 
choruses. 

803
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,560
Worship is not a declaration of 
God's. 

804
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:33,240
Attributes. 
Vocal expression has to do with 

805
00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:37,560
praise and Thanksgiving. 
Worship has to do with attitude.

806
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:42,120
In the 6th chapter of Isaiah, 
the prophet described a vision 

807
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,200
of the throne of God. 
Above it he saw the seraphim, 

808
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,400
the burning, fiery creatures 
that surround God's throne. 

809
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:55,240
He saw that each had six wings, 
and he saw how they used them. 

810
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,440
With one pair of wings, a 
seraphim covered their faces, 

811
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,120
With the second pair they 
covered their feet. 

812
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:07,320
With the third pair, they flew. 
We understand from this picture 

813
00:56:07,720 --> 00:56:10,960
that two pairs of wings are 
given to worship, indicating by 

814
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:15,240
covering their faces and feet, 
the third pair to service 

815
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,640
indicating by flying. 
This tells us that worship comes

816
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:24,640
before service, and also that 
worship is twice as important as

817
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:28,880
service. 
Worship, in a sense, is covering

818
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,480
your face and your body. 
It is bowing low, bending the 

819
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,000
head. 
Of course, this does not have to

820
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,760
be solely a description of a 
physical body. 

821
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:42,920
We are talking about something 
in the spirit, the approach of 

822
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:47,520
our spirits to God. 
This is represented in the 

823
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:52,600
Lord's Prayer. 
In this manner, therefore, pray 

824
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,720
our Father in heaven. 
After we have first addressed 

825
00:56:57,720 --> 00:57:00,720
God, the next thing we say is 
hallowed. 

826
00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:03,520
Be your name. 
Your name is holy. 

827
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,120
It is a privilege even to use 
your name. 

828
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,920
We do it with reverence. 
We do it in lowliness. 

829
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,800
We do it in awe and wonder and 
honor. 

830
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:21,280
That is worship, a heart bowed 
low in God's presence. 

831
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:36,520
Now this is the confidence that 
we have in Him, that if we ask 

832
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,840
anything according to His will, 
He hears us. 

833
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:46,160
And if we know that He hears us,
whatever we ask, we know that we

834
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,200
have the petitions that we have 
asked of Him. 

835
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:56,120
Petition is the most used prayer
asking for physical and material

836
00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,800
needs to be met. 
But remember, praying is not 

837
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,160
just thinking of anything we 
want and asking for it. 

838
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:08,760
Praying is discovering God's 
revealed purpose in Scripture 

839
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,960
and then praying for the 
outworking of that purpose. 

840
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:17,640
It is not just asking that is 
important, but asking and 

841
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,840
receiving. 
I have seen this many times. 

842
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,800
God touches someone with a 
healing touch, but the person 

843
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,680
does not receive it. 
One way not to receive an answer

844
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,440
to a petition is to go on 
praying for it. 

845
00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:37,200
Some people pray themselves into
faith and then pray themselves 

846
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,360
out of faith. 
Jesus was speaking about this 

847
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,920
very matter of petition when He 
said this. 

848
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:48,520
Therefore, I tell you, whatever 
you ask for in prayer, believe 

849
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,720
that you have received it and it
will be yours. 

850
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:54,240
Notice this. 
Though. 

851
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,720
Receiving is not the same as 
having. 

852
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:02,120
Receiving is settling. 
It Having is the experience that

853
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,080
follows the actual experience of
having. 

854
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:10,360
What we have prayed for may have
to wait, but by faith we receive

855
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:15,080
what we pray for when we pray. 
Say you have a financial need, 

856
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:18,200
you pray you are in touch with 
God. 

857
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,840
You say God we need $2000 by 
Thursday. 

858
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:26,240
Then you say thank you, God, you
have received it. 

859
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,200
Nothing has changed in the 
circumstances, but you have 

860
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,560
received it. 
You will have it. 

861
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:37,520
For example, if you have made a 
petition regarding physical 

862
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:41,760
healing, for instance, you say 
Thank you, Lord, you touched me.

863
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,840
Your power is at work in my 
body. 

864
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:49,240
Every time you feel a twinge of 
pain or you see a symptom, you 

865
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:53,720
say, Thank you Lord, Your 
supernatural power is at work in

866
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:58,240
my body, and as you respond that
way, the healing is completed. 

867
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:05,600
Hebrews 10 tells us that we have
need of endurance so that after 

868
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,640
we have done the will of God, we
may receive the promise. 

869
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:14,000
In the gap between doing the 
will of God and receiving the 

870
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:19,440
promise, you can do two things. 
You can keep the plug in or pull

871
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,400
the plug out if you pull the 
plug out. 

872
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,720
You get nothing. 
If you keep the plug in, you get

873
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,480
everything. 
Something that can help us in 

874
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:33,880
this process of keeping the plug
in is learning to make the right

875
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:40,480
confession, that is declaring 
our faith boldly with our lips. 

876
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,720
I have found that there are 
certain ways to express your 

877
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,240
faith that have tremendous 
power. 

878
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,920
They release the power of God 
and they encourage us and 

879
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,080
strengthen us. 
Very often when I'm praying in 

880
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,840
the morning or at the end of the
day, I make these simple 

881
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:02,280
confessions. 
Here, for instance, is a 

882
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:06,040
statement that concerns the body
that I say several times a week.

883
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:12,360
My body is the temple of the 
Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed,

884
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,880
and sanctified by the blood of 
Jesus. 

885
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,800
My members are instruments of 
righteousness, yielded to God 

886
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,160
for His service and for His 
glory. 

887
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:28,360
The devil has no place in me, no
power over me, no unsettled 

888
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,240
claims against me. 
All has been settled by the 

889
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:36,200
blood of Jesus. 
I overcome Satan by the blood of

890
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,440
the Lamb and by the word of my 
testimony. 

891
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,840
Intercession. 
Intercession is one of the 

892
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,000
highest prayer skills for a 
Christian. 

893
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:09,400
It requires a lot of practice, 
skill, and maturity. 

894
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:14,640
To intercede means literally to 
come in between. 

895
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:20,760
The intercessor is one who comes
in between God and those for 

896
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:25,600
whom he is praying. 
The Bible gives us examples of 

897
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:29,960
some extreme cases. 
One was the time that Abraham 

898
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,280
stood between the Lord and the 
wicked city of Sodom. 

899
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,560
Genesis 18 tells the story of 
the Lord and his two angels 

900
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,680
visiting Abraham's home, a 
remarkable picture of 

901
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,000
hospitality. 
Abraham offered them water to 

902
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,800
wash their feet. 
He killed a calf for their meal.

903
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:51,720
He chatted with them in the 
shade of the terebinth trees. 

904
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:56,440
Then the Lord began to unfold to
Abraham His purpose in being 

905
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,680
there. 
He was going down to the wicked 

906
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:02,720
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to 
investigate the situation and 

907
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,920
take appropriate action. 
Now this concerned Abraham quite

908
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,920
a bit because his nephew Lot, 
who was in a backslidden 

909
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,440
condition, was living in Sodom. 
Abraham knew that if judgement 

910
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:17,400
came upon Sodom, Lot and his 
family would. 

911
01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:18,600
Be part of that. 
Judgement. 

912
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:24,160
At that point the men, meaning 
the two angels, turned away from

913
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:28,320
there and went towards Sodom, 
but Abraham still stood before 

914
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,880
the Lord. 
That is the position of the 

915
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,240
intercessor. 
Abraham stood in front of the 

916
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:39,840
Lord and said, Lord, hold on a 
moment, don't just go yet. 

917
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,080
I have something to say to you. 
In a sense, he held the Lord 

918
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,000
back and then began a time of 
bargaining. 

919
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:52,120
Abraham asked if the Lord would 
spare the cities if he could 

920
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:57,280
find 50 righteous people, then 
40, and so on until the Lord 

921
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:01,000
agreed to spare Sodom for the 
sake of 10 righteous persons. 

922
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:05,840
When someone's sin has caused a 
breach, the intercessor stands 

923
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:09,160
before God and says, Lord, I'm 
stopping the gap. 

924
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:13,920
Your blow can't fall upon him 
unless it first falls upon me. 

925
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,960
When Moses had to come down the 
mountain and discover the molten

926
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:22,840
calf, I want you to notice that 
God would not act against His 

927
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,360
people in this manner unless 
Moses complied. 

928
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:30,760
He said, Moses, get out of my 
way and let me deal with these 

929
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,560
people. 
You see Moses, I can wipe them 

930
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:39,000
out and still keep my promise to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 

931
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:44,080
I will simply establish you as 
the one whom I rebuild this 

932
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,960
great nation. 
Moses could have said, Yes, God,

933
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,200
blot out the people. 
After all, they have been 

934
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:54,720
nothing but a burden on me since
I LED them out of Egypt. 

935
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:59,240
Start again with me. 
I'll be a great ancestor of this

936
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:02,520
people. 
Could you imagine being in that 

937
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:05,240
conversation? 
That's not what Moses did. 

938
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:09,280
He showed maturity. 
Moses besought the Lord his God 

939
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:13,200
and said, Lord, why doth thy 
wrath wax hot against thy 

940
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,520
people, which thou has brought 
forth out of the land of Egypt? 

941
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:22,160
In other words, Lord, they're 
not mine, they're yours. 

942
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:26,280
I can't handle them. 
You are the one to deal with 

943
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,760
them. 
Then this humble man of prayer 

944
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:31,840
went to work. 
He stated first that his supreme

945
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,960
concern was for God's glory. 
He argued that since God had 

946
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,200
brought these people out of 
Egypt, the Egyptians would say 

947
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,440
that he had evil intentions 
against them all along. 

948
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,480
Next he reminded God of his 
promise and his covenant. 

949
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:52,080
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and 
Israel thy servants, to whom 

950
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:57,800
thou swearest by thine own self,
and settest unto them I will 

951
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,680
multiply your seed as the stars 
of heaven. 

952
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:05,640
And all this land that I have 
spoken of will I give unto your 

953
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:09,360
seed, and they shall inherit it 
forever. 

954
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:14,520
And the Lord repented of the 
evil which he thought to do unto

955
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,240
his people. 
Having stayed the Lord's hand, 

956
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,560
Moses went down to the bottom of
the mountain, dealt with the 

957
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:24,400
people, then came up again. 
Moses returned to the Lord, and 

958
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:29,520
said, O, this people have sinned
a great sin, and have made them 

959
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:33,600
gods of gold. 
Yet now if thou wilt forgive 

960
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:38,600
their sin, and if not, blot me, 
I pray thee out of thy book 

961
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:43,880
which thou hast written. 
In this exchange, we see Moses's

962
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:47,720
heart of fervent prayer, 
supplication, and intercession. 

963
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,960
God, these people have sinned 
grievously. 

964
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:55,480
They deserve your stroke. 
I ask that you have mercy on 

965
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,280
them. 
But if not, Lord, let their 

966
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:02,680
judgement come upon me. 
Psalm One, O 6, gives a divine 

967
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:08,480
commentary on this incident. 
They made a calf in Horeb, and 

968
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:12,000
worshipped the molten image. 
Thus they change their glory 

969
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,880
into the similitude of an ox 
that eateth grass. 

970
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:20,120
They forgot God their Savior, 
which had done great things in 

971
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:25,480
Egypt, wondrous works in the 
land of Ham, and terrible things

972
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,040
by the Red Sea. 
Therefore he said that he would 

973
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:33,480
destroy them, had not Moses, his
chosen, stood before him in the 

974
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:38,040
breach to turn away his wrath, 
lest he should destroy them. 

975
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:42,120
When someone's sin has caused a 
breach, the intercessor stands 

976
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:45,200
before God and says, Lord, I'm 
stopping the gap. 

977
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:50,120
Your blow can't fall upon him 
unless it first falls upon me. 

978
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,960
This is not the only form of 
intercession, but it is the 

979
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,280
Supreme. 
The intercessor is God centered.

980
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:03,120
He is not problem focused. 
He is not focused on what man 

981
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:07,320
can or cannot do. 
He has a vision of what God can 

982
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:11,920
do when no intercessor can be 
found among God's people. 

983
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:17,080
It is the supreme mark of 
failure in our responsibility to

984
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:24,680
God and to our fellow man. 
Supplication. 

985
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,760
Supplication is a complicated 
word for some people. 

986
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,439
When you are supplicating, you 
are a supplicant. 

987
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:38,359
There is only one thing you ask 
for, mercy. 

988
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,000
It is often tied to 
intercession. 

989
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,600
Let's look at two passages that 
describe this. 

990
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:51,680
Zechariah 12 verse 10 is a 
prophecy directed at Israel. 

991
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:56,319
The Lord was speaking and he 
said, I will pour on the House 

992
01:08:56,319 --> 01:09:01,080
of David and on the inhabitants 
of Jerusalem the spirit of grace

993
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:04,200
and supplication. 
Notice the order. 

994
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:10,040
First grace, then supplication. 
If you say God, I want to come 

995
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:14,160
before you in supplication. 
God will say, if I don't give 

996
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:19,399
you the grace, you can't do it. 
Actually, no prayer of any value

997
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,319
can be offered to God without 
His grace. 

998
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:27,319
If it does not initiate in the 
grace of God, it is worthless. 

999
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,600
The next part of that verse in 
Zechariah 12 reads. 

1000
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,399
Then they will look on me whom 
they pierced. 

1001
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:40,160
Yes, they will mourn for him as 
one mourns for his only Son, and

1002
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,640
grieve for him as one grieves 
for a first born. 

1003
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,560
This verse describes the turning
point of God's dealings with 

1004
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,120
Israel. 
It is the point at which they 

1005
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,200
come to repentance and 
acknowledgement of the Messiah, 

1006
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,360
and it is brought about by the 
spirit of grace and 

1007
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:00,920
supplication. 
Hebrews 4 gives another 

1008
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,800
beautiful picture of 
supplication, one we have 

1009
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:07,240
already viewed. 
Hebrews, of course, was written 

1010
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:11,160
to Jewish believers. 
Let us therefore come boldly to 

1011
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:15,720
the throne of grace, that we may
obtain mercy and find grace to 

1012
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:20,680
help in time of need. 
God sits upon a throne, but it 

1013
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,400
is a throne of grace. 
And what do we come for? 

1014
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:29,040
To obtain mercy and find grace 
to help in time of need. 

1015
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:34,240
If you tend to feel overwhelmed 
by a particularly serious 

1016
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:38,800
situation and think that there 
is nothing left to do, then hear

1017
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:43,480
what God says. 
The time of need is the time to 

1018
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:45,920
come. 
The only people who fail to 

1019
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,400
receive mercy and grace are the 
people who do not come to the 

1020
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,920
throne. 
We do not see our own need. 

1021
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:57,560
We are blinded by self 
righteousness and religiosity. 

1022
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:03,040
But if we could earn God's 
mercy, we would not need it. 

1023
01:11:11,730 --> 01:11:14,370
Command speaks with aggression 
and authority. 

1024
01:11:14,650 --> 01:11:17,130
Joshua 10 is a good place to 
start. 

1025
01:11:17,690 --> 01:11:20,810
This scripture describes a scene
in the middle of a battle. 

1026
01:11:20,810 --> 01:11:23,810
The Israelites were defeating 
their enemies, but it was 

1027
01:11:23,810 --> 01:11:27,000
getting dark. 
If night fell, they would not be

1028
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,600
able to finish the job. 
Off. 

1029
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:34,920
Verses 12 through 14 when Joshua
spoke to the Lord in the day 

1030
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,360
when the Lord delivered up the 
Amorites before the children of 

1031
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:45,840
Israel, and he said in the sight
of Israel sun stands still over 

1032
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:50,560
Gibeon and moon in the valley of
Ajalon. 

1033
01:11:51,480 --> 01:11:56,080
So the sun stood still, and the 
moon stopped, till the people 

1034
01:11:56,080 --> 01:12:01,440
had revenge upon their enemies. 
Is this not written in the Book 

1035
01:12:01,440 --> 01:12:04,840
of Jasher? 
So the sun stood still in the 

1036
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:09,240
midst of the heaven, and did not
hasten to go down for about a 

1037
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:13,320
whole day. 
And there has been no day like 

1038
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:18,720
that before or after it, that 
the Lord heeded the voice of a 

1039
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,720
man. 
That is the prayer of command 

1040
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:25,480
addressed to the Lord. 
We can tell situations and 

1041
01:12:25,480 --> 01:12:30,120
circumstances how to behave, but
we will not have results unless 

1042
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:34,680
we have first contacted the Lord
and 2nd received the anointing, 

1043
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:39,320
the release for such a prayer. 
The New Testament example is the

1044
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:42,000
incident of the fig tree that 
Jesus cursed. 

1045
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,200
There are two gospel accounts of
this story. 

1046
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:49,800
Here's the first. 
Now in the morning as he 

1047
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:53,880
returned to the city, he was 
hungry, and seeing a fig tree by

1048
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,200
the road, he came to it and 
found nothing on it but leaves. 

1049
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:01,560
And he said to it, Let no fruit 
grow on you ever again. 

1050
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:07,600
Immediately the fig tree 
withered away, and when the 

1051
01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:11,040
disciples saw it, they 
marvelled, saying, How did the 

1052
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:15,080
fig tree wither away so soon? 
So Jesus answered and said to 

1053
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:19,040
them, assuredly. 
I say to you, if you have faith 

1054
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:23,440
and do not doubt, you will not 
only do what was done to the fig

1055
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:28,440
tree, but also if you say to 
this mountain be removed and be 

1056
01:13:28,440 --> 01:13:31,200
cast into the sea, it will be 
done. 

1057
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:35,400
And whatever things you ask in 
prayer, believing, you will 

1058
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:39,280
receive notice. 
There are two ways of using 

1059
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,800
words of command that are 
brought out there. 

1060
01:13:42,480 --> 01:13:45,240
One way is toward things on 
behalf of God. 

1061
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:48,320
The other way is toward God on 
behalf of things. 

1062
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,760
Jesus did not pray about the fig
tree. 

1063
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:54,920
He also did not pray to the fig 
tree, which would have been 

1064
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,640
idolatry. 
He spoke to the fig tree on 

1065
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,360
behalf of God. 
This was not prayer. 

1066
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:07,120
He simply told the fig tree what
to do, and the fig tree did it 

1067
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,800
according to the leading of the 
Holy Spirit. 

1068
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:14,560
Then we may either speak to the 
thing on behalf of God, as Jesus

1069
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:19,360
did to the fig tree, or speak to
God on behalf of a thing which 

1070
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:23,480
is what we normally call prayer.
The same incident is recorded in

1071
01:14:23,480 --> 01:14:26,360
Mark 11. 
But there is one further truth 

1072
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:31,320
revealed by Jesus which really 
is key into understanding it 

1073
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:34,560
all. 
Now in the morning as they 

1074
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:38,280
passed by, they saw the fig tree
dried up from the roots, and 

1075
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,600
Peter remembering, said to him, 
Rabbi, look, the fig tree which 

1076
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,760
you cursed has withered away. 
So Jesus answered and said to 

1077
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:50,560
them, Have faith in God. 
The literal translation is have 

1078
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:55,080
the faith of God. 
The prayer of command is God's 

1079
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:59,840
faith expressed in utterances. 
Thus it is just as authoritative

1080
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:02,120
as if God Himself had spoken 
them. 

1081
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:06,240
In a certain sense, because 
these words are being breathed 

1082
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:10,640
forth by the Spirit of God, they
are God-given utterances. 

1083
01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:15,840
Scripture affirms that this word
of command is for us to employ 

1084
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,120
today. 
The effective, fervent prayer of

1085
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:24,640
a righteous man avails much. 
Elijah was a man with a nature 

1086
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:28,600
like ours, and he prayed 
earnestly that it would not 

1087
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,960
rain, and it did not rain on the
land for three years and six 

1088
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,720
months. 
And he prayed again, and the 

1089
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:38,920
heaven gave rain, and the earth 
produced its fruit. 

1090
01:15:39,800 --> 01:15:44,000
In other words, through fervent 
prayer, you and I can do the 

1091
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,720
same. 
That same power is available to 

1092
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,840
us. 
This instrument of prayer is 

1093
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:54,000
particularly appropriate to use 
when we follow Jesus directive 

1094
01:15:54,360 --> 01:16:06,720
to cast out demons. 
Commitment. 

1095
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,080
As with the prayer of petition, 
where we ask for something in 

1096
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:15,240
prayer, in commitment. 
The way to pray about a thing is

1097
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:19,000
to stop praying about it. 
I am sure that statement was as 

1098
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,000
clear as mud so. 
Let's dive into it. 

1099
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:27,600
Here is a prayer of commitment. 
You will recognize that the 

1100
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:31,640
first part of this verse from 
the Psalms was quoted by Jesus 

1101
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:34,800
on the cross. 
Into your hand I commit. 

1102
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,600
My spirit. 
You have redeemed to me. 

1103
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:43,520
O Lord God of Truth, there are 
times when our best decision is 

1104
01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:48,040
to commit our situations to the 
Lord and simply take our hands 

1105
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,840
off. 
A modern commitment phrase you 

1106
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:53,720
may have heard is. 
Jesus, take the wheel. 

1107
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:59,480
Basically, there is nothing you 
can do and you feel like the 

1108
01:16:59,480 --> 01:17:03,720
situation is hopeless. 
Commit your way to the Lord, 

1109
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,160
trust also in Him, and He shall 
bring it to. 

1110
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:10,720
Pass. 
The Hebrew actually says roll 

1111
01:17:10,720 --> 01:17:14,560
your way on the Lord. 
When your way becomes too heavy 

1112
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:19,960
for you and you can no longer 
handle it, just roll it off onto

1113
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,200
the Lord and He will take care 
of it. 

1114
01:17:23,200 --> 01:17:27,560
Commitment is an act and once 
you commit you should not go 

1115
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:30,640
back and see if it's working. 
You trust. 

1116
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:34,360
So if you commit something to 
the Lord, leave it. 

1117
01:17:41,380 --> 01:17:47,380
Dedication. 
Dedication is similar to 

1118
01:17:47,380 --> 01:17:50,920
commitment. 
In both cases we give the object

1119
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,480
of our prayer to the Lord, but 
in dedication the thing we are 

1120
01:17:54,480 --> 01:17:58,920
offering is ourselves. 
In a prayer of dedication we set

1121
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:02,880
ourselves apart, choosing to 
consecrate or sanctify ourselves

1122
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:07,000
for the particular work or 
calling that God has placed on 

1123
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:11,400
our lives. 
John 17 verse 19, which is part 

1124
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,680
of what we call the High 
priestly prayer of Jesus. 

1125
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:18,640
He was speaking about his 
relationship to his disciples 

1126
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,440
and to the Father. 
He said for their sakes, I 

1127
01:18:22,440 --> 01:18:27,280
sanctify myself, that they also 
may be sanctified by the truth. 

1128
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:32,480
Like Jesus, if we choose to set 
ourselves apart to God, then we 

1129
01:18:32,480 --> 01:18:36,600
belong to God. 
We are in His hands and are not 

1130
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:42,600
allowed to do what we want. 
Jesus said in John 10 verse 36 

1131
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:47,280
that the Father had sanctified 
him and sent him into the world.

1132
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,200
How did the Father sanctify 
Jesus? 

1133
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:54,320
He did not make him holy, of 
course, because he was already 

1134
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:58,040
holy. 
Rather, He set him apart to a 

1135
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:02,160
work that no one else could do. 
So Jesus at this point was 

1136
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:07,360
saying, I sanctify myself. 
I set myself apart to the work 

1137
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:11,160
for which God has already set me
apart, Always with 

1138
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:14,400
sanctification. 
The initiative is with God. 

1139
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:18,160
You cannot sanctify yourself for
something for which God has not 

1140
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,680
sanctified you. 
You have to find out what God 

1141
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:26,560
has set you apart for, and then 
you set yourself apart to do it,

1142
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:32,080
responding with your own will. 
God has set us apart, but it 

1143
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:36,080
does not become effective until 
we set ourselves apart. 

1144
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:41,480
You do not have to do this. 
This is voluntary, but remember 

1145
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:45,160
that the Bible does not give you
permission to make a vow and 

1146
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:59,280
then ask to change it back. 
Persistence. 

1147
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,920
Jesus taught his disciples to 
take up the prayer instrument of

1148
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:08,120
persistence. 
Luke 11 verse 5 through 8. 

1149
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:13,680
And he said to them, Which of 
you shall have a friend, and go 

1150
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:18,280
to him at midnight, and say to 
him, Friend, lend ME3 loaves. 

1151
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:22,760
For a friend of mine has come to
me on his journey, and I have 

1152
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:27,520
nothing to set before him, and 
he will answer from within, and 

1153
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:32,040
say, Do not trouble me. 
The door is now shut, and my 

1154
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:36,920
children are with me in bed. 
I cannot rise and give it to 

1155
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,600
you. 
I say to you, though he will not

1156
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:46,200
rise and give to him, because he
is his friend, yet because of 

1157
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:50,920
his persistence he will rise and
give him as many as he needs. 

1158
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:55,480
In other words, you keep on 
knocking, letting your friend 

1159
01:20:55,480 --> 01:21:00,080
know he is not going to get any 
sleep that night until he gets 

1160
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:04,800
up and gives you the bread. 
Jesus commanded that kind of 

1161
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:10,200
persistence. 
So I say to you, ask and it will

1162
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:15,640
be given to you, seek and you 
will find, knock and it will be 

1163
01:21:15,640 --> 01:21:21,400
open to you, for everyone who 
asks receives, and he who seeks 

1164
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:26,640
finds, and to him who knocks it 
will be opened. 

1165
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,000
This is quite different from the
prayer of petition, which 

1166
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,800
receives the thing being prayed 
for, even though it often 

1167
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:38,200
requires perseverance to keep 
the plug in. 

1168
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:43,680
In that case, you pray, you 
receive, you say thank you, 

1169
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:45,280
Lord. 
That is it. 

1170
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,840
In this kind of persistent 
prayer, you go on knocking, 

1171
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:53,520
knocking, knocking, knocking. 
Continue to ask for the thing 

1172
01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:59,440
you desire until the doors open.
Acts 12 gives us an example of 

1173
01:21:59,440 --> 01:22:02,080
persistent prayer by the early 
church. 

1174
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,760
King Herod had the apostle 
James, the brother of John, 

1175
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,920
executed. 
Then he proceeded to arrest 

1176
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:14,680
Peter and hold him for execution
immediately after the Passover. 

1177
01:22:15,480 --> 01:22:18,920
At this point the church in 
Jerusalem betook themselves to 

1178
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,200
earnest, persistent prayer on 
Peter's behalf. 

1179
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:26,480
Sometimes God will not work 
merely through a prayer of an 

1180
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:29,160
individual. 
It takes the corporate prayer of

1181
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:32,360
a group of committed believers 
praying together. 

1182
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,440
So Peter was kept in prison, but
the church was earnestly praying

1183
01:22:36,440 --> 01:22:39,000
to God for him. 
Notice that word. 

1184
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:44,560
But that butt changed the course
of events. the United corporate 

1185
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:48,920
prayer of the church opened the 
way for the intervention of an 

1186
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,480
Angel who came from God and 
delivered Peter out of the 

1187
01:22:52,480 --> 01:22:55,480
prison. 
In this way the prayers of the 

1188
01:22:55,480 --> 01:22:59,480
Church for Peter were answered, 
but it still remained for God to

1189
01:22:59,480 --> 01:23:02,840
deal with King Herod. 
In the closing verses of Acts 

1190
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:06,760
12, Luke described Herod, 
arrayed in his royal apparel, 

1191
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,040
making a speech to the people of
Tahrir and Saddam. 

1192
01:23:10,480 --> 01:23:14,200
At the end of his oration, the 
people applauded, shouting. 

1193
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:20,920
This is the voice of God, not of
a man puffed up with conceit at 

1194
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:24,240
his own achievement. 
Herod accepted the applause. 

1195
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:28,520
The record concludes that 
immediately an Angel of the Lord

1196
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:32,880
struck Herod down because he did
not give God the glory, and he 

1197
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:38,000
was eaten by worms and died. 
See again the outworking of the 

1198
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:41,400
persistent prayer of the church.
Everything that had been 

1199
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,840
resisting the Word and the 
purpose of God was overthrown, 

1200
01:23:45,440 --> 01:23:49,560
and Herod died a miserable, 
agonizing, and shameful death. 

1201
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,120
Notice that it was the 
intervention of an Angel that 

1202
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:57,880
terminated the career of Herod. 
What brought the intervention of

1203
01:23:57,880 --> 01:23:59,720
the Angel? 
Twice in this story? 

1204
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:03,560
The prayer of the church. 
So we ask ourselves in the light

1205
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,480
of all that, who was really 
ruling? 

1206
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:11,600
Was it Herod or the Church? 
The answer is Herod sat on the 

1207
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:17,400
throne, but the Church ruled by,
in this case, persistent prayer.

1208
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,880
If you really believe you are 
going to get it, you will not 

1209
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,080
stop. 
The only way you can lose is by 

1210
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:26,920
giving up. 
Since many prayers of 

1211
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:30,800
persistence and petition as well
involve the need for some aspect

1212
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,480
of healing, I want to mention 
here the difference between the 

1213
01:24:34,480 --> 01:24:37,360
working out of miracles and 
healings, for the two are 

1214
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,440
distinct. 
Miracles actually go beyond 

1215
01:24:40,440 --> 01:24:44,120
healings. 
Miracles are often instantaneous

1216
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:48,880
and often visible, whereas 
healings are often invisible and

1217
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,280
gradual. 
Some people come to get healed 

1218
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,520
and if they do not get a 
miracle, they think nothing has 

1219
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:59,440
happened, but it may be that 
they are receiving a healing. 

1220
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,000
This is very important to 
understand because if you're 

1221
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:07,080
receiving a healing, a lot will 
depend on how you respond. 

1222
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:17,760
Blessing. 
Here is a biblical prayer of 

1223
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:23,800
blessing that will likely be 
familiar to you #623 to 26 Speak

1224
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,640
to Aaron and his son, saying, 
this is the way you shall bless 

1225
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:31,720
the children of Israel. 
Say to them, the Lord bless you 

1226
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,560
and keep you. 
The Lord make his face shine 

1227
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:36,960
upon you and be gracious. 
To you. 

1228
01:25:37,560 --> 01:25:42,280
The Lord lift up his countenance
upon you and give you peace. 

1229
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,320
Here are 6 blessings that you 
can pray for someone you want to

1230
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:50,400
bless. 
The Lord bless you, keep you, 

1231
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:56,400
make His face shine upon you, Be
gracious to lift up His 

1232
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:00,120
countenance upon you and give 
you peace. 

1233
01:26:01,480 --> 01:26:06,440
So they shall put my name on the
children of Israel, and I will 

1234
01:26:06,440 --> 01:26:07,120
bless. 
Them. 

1235
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:10,200
Putting His name on them makes 
them complete. 

1236
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:12,760
This is how you can bless your 
children. 

1237
01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:16,920
You can put the name of the Lord
upon them every day when they go

1238
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:21,680
to school or about their various
activities and He will keep them

1239
01:26:27,370 --> 01:26:32,130
imprecatory or cursing. 
The other side of blessing is 

1240
01:26:32,130 --> 01:26:34,930
cursing. 
Most Christians are not aware 

1241
01:26:35,170 --> 01:26:37,570
that we are also charged to 
curse. 

1242
01:26:38,130 --> 01:26:41,880
But let me say initially that 
this is not a license to bring 

1243
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:46,560
destruction wherever you choose.
Let's return to the story in 

1244
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:51,160
Matthew 21 of Jesus walking past
the fig tree that had no fruit 

1245
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:54,000
on it, only leaves. 
A lot of. 

1246
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:58,120
Plans and programs and other 
things we see today look as 

1247
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:01,400
though they might have fruit, 
but there is none when you look 

1248
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:04,200
closer. 
Jesus was not indifferent about 

1249
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:07,120
this. 
He did not say, well, nothing 

1250
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:10,000
there. 
He said, let no one ever eat 

1251
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:13,360
fruit from you again. 
The next morning, as we have 

1252
01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:16,920
noted, when they passed by the 
fig tree, it was withered from 

1253
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,840
the roots. 
The disciples were impressed and

1254
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:24,200
this is what Jesus said to them.
So Jesus answered and said to 

1255
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:29,520
them, assuredly I say to you, if
you have faith and do not doubt,

1256
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:32,640
you will not only do what was 
done to the fig tree. 

1257
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:36,120
But also. 
If you say to this mountain be 

1258
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:39,880
removed and be cast into the 
sea, it will be done. 

1259
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:44,120
Now we all focus on removing the
mountain, but Jesus said we can 

1260
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,240
also do what was done to the fig
tree. 

1261
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,600
It was cursed. 
But if the Spirit of God prompts

1262
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:54,240
you to use this kind of prayer, 
it can further the purpose of 

1263
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,320
God. 
Jesus was never indifferent, He 

1264
01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:02,040
was never neutral. 
He was either for or against and

1265
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:12,810
he expected everybody. 
To be like him, let's put these 

1266
01:28:12,810 --> 01:28:15,330
twelve types of prayers into 
practice. 

1267
01:28:16,930 --> 01:28:20,890
The goal is to open your 
thoughts in a new way that the 

1268
01:28:20,890 --> 01:28:23,210
organized churches does not 
teach. 

1269
01:28:23,730 --> 01:28:27,130
Prayers first activate the 
spirit realm before they come 

1270
01:28:27,210 --> 01:28:31,210
into our realm. 
So while these prayers may seem 

1271
01:28:32,050 --> 01:28:36,970
fantastical in the spirit realm,
they are heat seeking weapons. 

1272
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:43,640
Unlock your belief and know that
what you pray for terrifies the 

1273
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:47,320
enemy. 
What you pray for brings light 

1274
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:52,200
into the darkness. 
Here is a prayer for repentance 

1275
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:58,760
and confession of sins. 
Father God, I come to you in the

1276
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:02,880
name of Jesus, asking for 
forgiveness of my sins. 

1277
01:29:03,440 --> 01:29:07,920
I'm repenting for Call out all 
the sins that you know you are 

1278
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:12,160
currently participating in. 
I ask you to wash me clean from 

1279
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:16,400
these sins. 
Guide me by your Holy Spirit to 

1280
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:19,760
doing the things that are 
pleasing to you. 

1281
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:24,200
Cleanse my mind so that I will 
have pure thoughts. 

1282
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:29,440
Cleanse my tongue so that my 
speech may be pleasing to you. 

1283
01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:35,160
Cleanse my ears so that I will 
listen to only what you want me 

1284
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:39,600
to hear. 
Wash my hands so I will only 

1285
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:44,320
touch what you want me to touch.
Wash my feet so that I will 

1286
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:50,040
travel only where you would have
me go and forgive me for moving 

1287
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:53,720
towards evil. 
I accept the completed work of 

1288
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,400
Jesus who died on the cross for 
all my sins. 

1289
01:29:56,840 --> 01:30:00,720
I consider myself clean in the 
eyes of the spiritual beings 

1290
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:05,080
that are around me. 
I am a new creation and old 

1291
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:09,640
things have passed away and 
there is now no condemnation for

1292
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:13,680
those who are in Christ Jesus. 
When they look at me, they see 

1293
01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:18,400
me clothed in the righteousness 
of Christ in Jesus name, Amen. 

1294
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:31,160
This next prayer is called the 
Evening Prayer and is found in 

1295
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:35,320
Dan Duvall's book, Prayers that 
Shake Heaven and Earth, Book one

1296
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:38,160
of Three. 
It's also found on his website, 

1297
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:41,480
bridemovement.com. 
Dan has also cited the 

1298
01:30:41,480 --> 01:30:44,480
scriptures that are used in the 
prayer. 

1299
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:47,360
Father, I come before you in 
prayer. 

1300
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:50,640
I enter into your gates with 
Thanksgiving and enter into your

1301
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:53,080
courts with praise. 
I praise you because you are 

1302
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,320
worthy, holy, righteous and 
just. 

1303
01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:59,200
I plead the blood of Jesus over 
myself, my dwelling place, my 

1304
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:03,360
spouse, my children, my car, my 
bank accounts, and everything 

1305
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,600
under my stewardship. 
I pray that your heavenly hosts,

1306
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:10,240
your angels would guard this 
dwelling place roundabout both 

1307
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:13,400
above and below and against 
every dimensional access point 

1308
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,800
in Jesus name. 
I will see of the Lord that you 

1309
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:19,160
are my refuge and my fortress. 
My God, in you will I trust. 

1310
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:22,520
I thank You that you set a hedge
of protection round about me, 

1311
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:24,400
that no plague will come near my
dwelling. 

1312
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:27,520
I thank you in advance that 
every curse, hex, spell, 

1313
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:31,680
incantation, voodoo, sorcery, 
form of witchcraft, dark art, or

1314
01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:34,760
other form of weaponized demonic
activity sent against me would 

1315
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,400
be reversed upon the heads of 
the center sevenfold, that they 

1316
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:40,960
would know that Jesus is Lord. 
Moreover, I pray that every 

1317
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,800
human spirit, fallen angelic 
spirit, or otherwise malevolent 

1318
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:46,560
spirit attempting to come 
against me or my household would

1319
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,920
be apprehended by our heavenly 
hosts such that they cannot so 

1320
01:31:49,920 --> 01:31:52,080
much as set foot upon this 
property. 

1321
01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,480
I pray that they would be 
escorted out to wherever the 

1322
01:31:54,480 --> 01:31:57,080
Lord Jesus sends them Pierce 
through with many arrows, 

1323
01:31:57,080 --> 01:32:00,480
discomforted by the lightning in
the process, that they would 

1324
01:32:00,480 --> 01:32:03,360
know that Jesus is Lord. 
Furthermore, I cancel and render

1325
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:06,720
powerless all attempts at mind 
to mind communication, dream 

1326
01:32:06,720 --> 01:32:09,720
manipulation, and all other 
forms of psychic and telepathic 

1327
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,680
intrusion in the name of Jesus. 
I thank You that all of my 

1328
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:14,880
dreams are inspired by Your Holy
Spirit. 

1329
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:18,280
I declare that my sleep will be 
sweet, uninterrupted, and that 

1330
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:20,760
upon waking I will be well 
rested. 

1331
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:22,600
I also put on the armor of 
light. 

1332
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,080
I take up the helmet of 
salvation, the breastplate of 

1333
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:26,320
righteousness, the belt of 
truth. 

1334
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:29,600
I declare that my feet are shod 
with the preparation of the 

1335
01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:32,160
gospel of peace, and I take up 
the shield of faith to quench 

1336
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,960
every fiery dart of the wicked 
one and the sword of the Spirit,

1337
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,840
which is the word of God. 
I pray all of this in the mighty

1338
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:40,160
name of Jesus. 
Amen. 

1339
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,160
Father, I come before you in 
prayer. 

1340
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,280
I enter into your gates with 
Thanksgiving, and enter into 

1341
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,840
your courts with praise. 
Enter into His gates with 

1342
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:56,120
Thanksgiving, and into His 
courts with praise. 

1343
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:59,360
Be thankful unto Him and bless 
His name. 

1344
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,920
As I praise you because you are 
worthy, holy, righteous, and 

1345
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:06,960
just, I plead the blood of Jesus
over myself, my dwelling place, 

1346
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:11,320
my spouse, my children, my car, 
my bank accounts, and everything

1347
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,440
under my stewardship. 
And they overcame him by the 

1348
01:33:14,440 --> 01:33:17,960
blood of the Lamb, and by the 
word of their testimony, And 

1349
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,360
they loved not their lives unto 
death. 

1350
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:25,680
Revelation 12 verse. 10. 
I pray that your heavenly hosts,

1351
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:29,440
your angels, would guard this 
dwelling place round about both 

1352
01:33:29,440 --> 01:33:32,640
above and below and against 
every dimensional access point 

1353
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:36,120
in Jesus name. 
And Elijah prayed and said, 

1354
01:33:36,120 --> 01:33:40,120
Lord, I pray thee, open his 
eyes, that he may see. 

1355
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:44,800
And the Lord opened the eyes of 
the young man, and he saw. 

1356
01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:50,760
And behold, the mountain was 
full of horses and Chariots of 

1357
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:55,920
fire round about Elijah. 
Second Kings, chapter 6, verse 

1358
01:33:55,920 --> 01:33:58,160
17. 
I will see of the Lord that you 

1359
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:01,640
are my refuge and my fortress. 
My God, in you will I trust. 

1360
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:07,640
I will say of the Lord, he is my
refuge and my fortress, my God, 

1361
01:34:08,040 --> 01:34:11,880
in him will I trust. 
Psalms, chapter 91. 

1362
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:15,080
Verse 2. 
I thank you that you set a hedge

1363
01:34:15,120 --> 01:34:18,160
of protection round about me, 
that no plague will come near my

1364
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:21,240
dwelling. 
There shall no evil befall thee,

1365
01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:24,720
neither shall any plague come 
nigh thy dwelling. 

1366
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:29,680
Psalm chapter 91, verse 10. 
I thank you in advance that 

1367
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:33,520
every curse, hex, spell, 
incantation, voodoo, sorcery, 

1368
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:37,120
form of witchcraft, dark art, or
other form of weaponized demonic

1369
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:39,760
activity sent against me would 
be reversed upon the heads of 

1370
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:43,280
the sender sevenfold that they 
would know that Jesus is Lord. 

1371
01:34:43,440 --> 01:34:47,160
The Lord shall cause thine 
enemies that rise up against 

1372
01:34:47,160 --> 01:34:50,040
thee to be smitten before thy 
face. 

1373
01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:55,120
They shall come out against thee
one way, and flee before thee 

1374
01:34:55,120 --> 01:35:01,040
seven ways. 
Deuteronomy chapter 28, verse 7.

1375
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:05,000
Moreover, I pray that every 
human spirit, fallen angelic 

1376
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:07,320
spirit, or otherwise malevolent 
spirit attempting to come 

1377
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,280
against me or my household would
be apprehended by our heavenly 

1378
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:13,920
hosts such that they cannot so 
much as set foot upon this 

1379
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:18,040
property. 
Demons are not the only spirits 

1380
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:21,840
lurking around. 
The devil also has human agents 

1381
01:35:22,160 --> 01:35:25,320
that do much of their work out 
of body. 

1382
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,560
This is sometimes called astral 
projection. 

1383
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:32,880
I also assign angels to 
apprehend fallen angels and 

1384
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:36,480
other malevolent spirits 
attempting to come against me. 

1385
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,360
I pray that they would be 
escorted out to wherever the 

1386
01:35:39,360 --> 01:35:41,960
Lord Jesus sends them peers 
through with many arrows, 

1387
01:35:41,960 --> 01:35:45,360
discomforted by the lightning in
the process, that they would 

1388
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:50,040
know that Jesus is Lord. 
Yeah, he sent out his arrows and

1389
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:54,320
scattered them, and he shot out 
lightnings and discomfited them.

1390
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:59,480
Psalm 18, verse 14. 
Furthermore, I cancel and render

1391
01:35:59,480 --> 01:36:02,880
powerless all attempts at mind 
to mind communication, dream 

1392
01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:05,880
manipulation, and all other 
forms of psychic and telepathic 

1393
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:10,440
intrusion in the name of Jesus. 
Psychic phenomena, telepathy, 

1394
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:13,240
and other forms of mind to mind 
communication. 

1395
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:18,720
Wherefore gird up the loins of 
your mind, be sober, and hope to

1396
01:36:18,720 --> 01:36:22,920
the end for the grace that is to
be brought unto you at the 

1397
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:26,880
revelation of Jesus. 
Christ first Peter, chapter one,

1398
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:29,280
verse 13. 
I thank you that all of my 

1399
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:31,520
dreams are inspired by your Holy
Spirit. 

1400
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:35,560
God spoke on many occasions in 
the Bible through dreams. 

1401
01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:40,360
For instance, he spoke to Jacob 
in a dream in Genesis 46 two, 

1402
01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:45,040
and he spoke to Daniel in a 
dream in Daniel 7, verse seven 

1403
01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:49,720
and seven verse 13. 
I declare that my sleep will be 

1404
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:53,360
sweet, uninterrupted, and that 
upon waking I will be well 

1405
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:56,960
rested. 
When thou liest down, you shall 

1406
01:36:56,960 --> 01:37:01,280
not be afraid. 
Yeah, thou shalt lie down, and 

1407
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:05,920
thy sleep shall be sweet. 
Proverbs 3, verse 24. 

1408
01:37:06,880 --> 01:37:08,600
I also put on the Armor of 
Light. 

1409
01:37:09,120 --> 01:37:12,920
The night is far spent, the day 
is at hand. 

1410
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:17,920
Let us therefore cast off the 
works of darkness, and let us 

1411
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:22,840
put on the armor of light. 
Romans 13, verse 12. 

1412
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:26,000
I take up the helmet of 
salvation, the breastplate of 

1413
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,640
righteousness, the belt of 
truth, I declare that my feet 

1414
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:31,960
are shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace, and I take 

1415
01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:34,560
up the shield of faith to punch 
every fiery dart of the wicked 

1416
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:36,600
one, and the sword of the 
Spirit, which is the word of 

1417
01:37:36,600 --> 01:37:40,400
God. 
Wherefore take unto you the 

1418
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:46,000
whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to withstand in the evil

1419
01:37:46,000 --> 01:37:50,080
day, and having done all to 
stand. 

1420
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:56,440
Stand therefore having your 
loins girt about with truth, and

1421
01:37:56,440 --> 01:38:00,040
having on the breastplate of 
righteousness, and your feet 

1422
01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:05,160
shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace, Above all 

1423
01:38:05,480 --> 01:38:09,360
taking the shield of faith, 
wherewith ye shall be able to 

1424
01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:15,000
quench all the fiery darts of 
the wicked, and take the helmet 

1425
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:19,240
of salvation, and the sword of 
the Spirit, which is the Word of

1426
01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:23,520
God. 
Ephesians 613 to 17. 

1427
01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:28,360
I pray all of this in the mighty
name of Jesus, Amen. 

1428
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:35,440
And whatsoever ye shall ask in 
my name, that will I do, that 

1429
01:38:35,440 --> 01:38:38,200
the Father may be glorified in 
the Son. 

1430
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:58,520
John chapter 14 verse 13 
Anointing oil. 

1431
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,240
Use of the anointing oil is 
biblical. 

1432
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,160
The oil was used to anoint 
kings. 

1433
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:14,760
It is an offering to God 
commissioning someone into their

1434
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:19,160
calling. 
It is a symbol of imparting a 

1435
01:39:19,160 --> 01:39:21,760
blessing. 
If you see yourself being 

1436
01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:26,680
anointed in dreams or a vision, 
you know God is imparting a 

1437
01:39:26,680 --> 01:39:30,560
blessing. 
It is used for sanctification. 

1438
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:33,880
It can be used for deliverance 
and healing. 

1439
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:43,880
It is used in worship anointing 
oil versus the holy anointing 

1440
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:49,280
oil. 
Exodus 30, verse 22 to 33 The 

1441
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:55,600
Lord spoke to Moses. 
Take choice spices, 12 1/2 lbs 

1442
01:39:55,600 --> 01:40:01,920
of free flowing myrrh, half that
about 6 1/4 lbs of sweet 

1443
01:40:01,920 --> 01:40:09,200
smelling cinnamon, 6 1/4 lbs of 
sweet smelling cane, and 12 1/2 

1444
01:40:09,200 --> 01:40:13,200
lbs of cassia. 
All weighed according to the 

1445
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:17,120
sanctuary. 
Shekel and 4 quarts of olive 

1446
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:21,560
oil. 
You are to make this into a 

1447
01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:27,560
sacred anointing oil, a perfumed
compound, the work of the 

1448
01:40:27,560 --> 01:40:31,200
perfumer. 
It will be sacred anointing oil.

1449
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:36,160
With it you are to anoint the 
tent of Meeting, the Ark of the 

1450
01:40:36,160 --> 01:40:42,040
Testimony, the table and all its
utensils, the lampstand and its 

1451
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:46,120
utensils, the altar of insects, 
the altar for the burnt 

1452
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:50,320
offering, and all its utensils, 
and the Laver and its base. 

1453
01:40:50,520 --> 01:40:55,040
So you are to sanctify them, and
they will be most holy. 

1454
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:57,560
Anything that touches them will 
be holy. 

1455
01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:00,040
You are to anoint Aaron and his.
Sons. 

1456
01:41:00,440 --> 01:41:03,760
And sanctify them so that they 
may minister. 

1457
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:09,120
As my priest, you are to tell 
the Israelites this is to be my 

1458
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:12,640
sacred anointing oil throughout 
your generation. 

1459
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:16,080
It must not be applied to 
people's bodies. 

1460
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:19,480
And you must not. 
Make any like it with the same 

1461
01:41:19,480 --> 01:41:23,080
recipe. 
It is holy, and it must be holy 

1462
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:26,200
to you. 
Whoever makes perfume like it 

1463
01:41:26,680 --> 01:41:30,680
and whoever puts any of it on 
someone not a priest, will be 

1464
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:34,080
cut off from his people. 
Because I read this. 

1465
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:36,840
You're going to go out and find 
these ingredients, aren't you? 

1466
01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:41,680
But we are commanded not to make
any like it for. 

1467
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:44,520
Ourselves, these were used for 
the Tabernacle. 

1468
01:41:45,880 --> 01:41:48,960
Olive oil was the main oil used 
in anointing. 

1469
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:53,480
So feel free to perfume your 
oil, but don't follow that 

1470
01:41:53,480 --> 01:41:56,200
recipe. 
Make your own oil, make it your 

1471
01:41:56,200 --> 01:42:00,320
own and this is how you will 
prepare and pray over the oil. 

1472
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:05,040
Take a separate bottle of oil 
and call it unto the Holy Spirit

1473
01:42:05,560 --> 01:42:09,800
and invite him into the room. 
Once you feel the presence, your

1474
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:14,840
body will have a tingling. 
Then begin praying, Holy Spirit,

1475
01:42:15,800 --> 01:42:18,080
and I know that all power comes 
from You. 

1476
01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:23,200
Every anointing comes from you. 
I ask that you would bless this 

1477
01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:29,120
anointing oil for use as I pray 
over myself, my family, my 

1478
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:35,040
friends, my home, and of it. 
I pray that you would use it as 

1479
01:42:35,040 --> 01:42:38,240
an agent of Your love and mercy 
towards us. 

1480
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:44,320
I'm doing this according to Your
word in James chapter 5 verse 

1481
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:50,000
14, or you say that we should 
anoint with oil when we pray 

1482
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:53,920
over the sick. 
I also do this as a symbol of 

1483
01:42:53,920 --> 01:42:56,680
your protection over my home and
my family. 

1484
01:42:57,480 --> 01:43:01,960
It is a representation of your 
blood Jesus, that covers. 

1485
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:08,120
I know that this is completely 
powerless until you've rested on

1486
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:12,880
it and made it holy. 
So I'm asking you to rest upon 

1487
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:17,040
it and make it holy. 
I'm setting it aside as 

1488
01:43:17,040 --> 01:43:21,120
consecrated and holy only for 
your work. 

1489
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:25,320
Lord, I thank you for blessing 
it and enriching it with Your 

1490
01:43:25,320 --> 01:43:28,840
spirit. 
Speak to me whenever you need me

1491
01:43:28,960 --> 01:43:32,160
to use this oil. 
I pray that in the spirit realm 

1492
01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:37,920
it is seen as a symbol of Your 
presence in Jesus name. 

1493
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:48,200
Amen. 
How to anoint your home and 

1494
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:52,200
property. 
Here's what you do. 

1495
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:56,960
Take the anointing oil and over 
every window and door to your 

1496
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:00,840
house, just put the sign of the 
cross in the corner of it. 

1497
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:05,840
You don't need to put it in the 
center from top to bottom or 

1498
01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:09,120
anything like that. 
Next thing you know, winter 

1499
01:44:09,120 --> 01:44:13,400
rolls around and your visitors 
are seeing a giant congealed oil

1500
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:18,560
mark on your windows and doors. 
Truly, just take it easy. 

1501
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:20,800
Putting it on the corner is 
fine. 

1502
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:25,600
Today Jews are using a mezuzah 
at the door and it's not that 

1503
01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:28,960
big. 
Anyway, as you're putting this 

1504
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:32,720
mark, you just need to pray a 
simple prayer as you make the 

1505
01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:36,240
sign of the cross. 
With the sign of the cross, I'm 

1506
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:40,880
making a declaration that this 
house belongs to the Lord Jesus 

1507
01:44:40,880 --> 01:44:46,240
Christ, that no sickness, death,
theft, evil or malevolent 

1508
01:44:46,240 --> 01:44:51,480
technology can enter this home. 
This oil is a symbol of the 

1509
01:44:51,480 --> 01:44:54,480
blood of Jesus Christ. 
No weapons that are formed 

1510
01:44:54,480 --> 01:44:58,920
against us or this property 
shall prosper and any 

1511
01:44:58,920 --> 01:45:02,120
destruction must pass over us in
Jesus name. 

1512
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:06,000
We are safe and protected under 
the blood of Jesus. 

1513
01:45:07,800 --> 01:45:12,040
Next, anoint some wooden stakes 
for the purpose of marking your 

1514
01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:15,480
land. 
Go out unto your land and stake 

1515
01:45:15,480 --> 01:45:19,120
the land for Jesus, making the 
same declaration. 

1516
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:24,760
Staking your land will create a 
border in the spirit realm and 

1517
01:45:24,760 --> 01:45:27,120
in this realm. 
The prayer doesn't have to be 

1518
01:45:27,120 --> 01:45:30,600
exactly like this, but you get 
the idea. 

1519
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:34,040
You can include some of the 
dimensional aspects like Dan 

1520
01:45:34,040 --> 01:45:38,640
Duvall has, but the point is 
that Jesus owns the house and 

1521
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:43,080
the land and the oil is a symbol
of his blood giving protection 

1522
01:45:43,320 --> 01:45:49,320
and covering to its occupants. 
Now I have to warn you, this is 

1523
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:52,240
not a joke. 
Once you pray the prayer, don't 

1524
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:55,560
be surprised that some people 
can no longer come to your 

1525
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:58,720
house. 
Plans will just automatically 

1526
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:01,880
get cancelled. 
Keep your eyes open and don't 

1527
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:03,880
force them to come to your house
either. 

1528
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:08,520
God is just revealing to you 
that there is something on them.

1529
01:46:09,600 --> 01:46:12,240
Remember, you gave him the 
house. 

1530
01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:17,600
It is all in the spirit realm 
and our war is not against flesh

1531
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:20,640
and blood. 
They won't know why or even 

1532
01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:23,400
realize they can no longer come 
into your house. 

1533
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:29,080
But you know because you prayed 
this prayer other uses for 

1534
01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:32,520
anointing oil. 
So let's say you want to receive

1535
01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:36,400
dreams and visions from God. 
You can anoint the temple side 

1536
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:41,280
of your head and your forehead 
and pray, asking Him to give you

1537
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:44,640
dreams before you go to bed. 
Anoint your ears to help you 

1538
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:47,800
hear God. 
You can also do the same things 

1539
01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:50,360
over your eyelids. 
If you are praying to see in the

1540
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:53,920
spirit realm to receive the gift
of healing, you can anoint the 

1541
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:57,040
palms of your hand. 
Or if you are being commissioned

1542
01:46:57,040 --> 01:47:00,400
to write a book, you can anoint 
your hands as well. 

1543
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:04,960
Before you start writing, the 
idea is to anoint the area where

1544
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:07,360
you need the empowerment or 
impartation. 

1545
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:11,960
Anoint your transportation. 
Anoint your children's 

1546
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:16,560
transportation. 
The same applies if you're 

1547
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:18,440
praying over someone who is 
sick. 

1548
01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:23,440
You can anoint that area if it 
is appropriate, of course. 

1549
01:47:31,790 --> 01:47:35,470
House cleaning prayer. 
Before you clean your house with

1550
01:47:35,470 --> 01:47:38,950
prayer, you must first cleanse 
yourself spiritually by 

1551
01:47:38,950 --> 01:47:40,590
performing a prayer of 
repentance. 

1552
01:47:41,190 --> 01:47:43,310
Then you may begin cleaning the 
house. 

1553
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:46,240
These are the steps for the 
prayer. 

1554
01:47:46,440 --> 01:47:49,720
Put on the armor of God. 
You need to ask God for angelic 

1555
01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:52,720
assistance. 
You need to open your windows 

1556
01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:55,120
and doors and tell the spirits 
to leave. 

1557
01:47:55,480 --> 01:47:58,800
You need to close all the 
portals that the evil spirits 

1558
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,720
are using to enter your own. 
You need to anoint all the 

1559
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:07,160
windows and doors with oil. 
Father God, I come to you in 

1560
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:13,920
Jesus name, putting on your full
armor so that I can take my 

1561
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:19,160
stand against the devil schemes.
For our struggle is not against 

1562
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:23,560
flesh and blood, but against the
rulers, against the authorities,

1563
01:48:24,080 --> 01:48:28,560
against the powers of darkness 
in this world, and against the 

1564
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:32,160
spiritual forces of evil in the 
heavenly realms. 

1565
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:38,160
I put on the full armor of God, 
so that in this day of evil I 

1566
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:42,680
may stand my ground, standing 
firm with the belt of truth 

1567
01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:46,520
buckled around my waist, with 
the breastplate of righteousness

1568
01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:51,680
in place, and with my feet 
fitted with the readiness that 

1569
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:56,040
comes from the gospel of peace. 
In addition to all this, I take 

1570
01:48:56,040 --> 01:49:00,520
up the shield of faith with 
which I can extinguish all the 

1571
01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:05,120
flaming arrows of the evil one, 
take the helmet of salvation and

1572
01:49:05,120 --> 01:49:10,440
the sword of the Spirit, which 
is the Word of God, and pray in 

1573
01:49:10,440 --> 01:49:14,520
the spirit on all occasions with
all kinds of prayers and 

1574
01:49:14,520 --> 01:49:19,400
bequests. 
God, I ask you to give me the 

1575
01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:23,960
gift of discerning of spirits so
that I may remove all the evil 

1576
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:28,120
spirits from my home. 
The only spirit that can live 

1577
01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:32,520
here are the ones who are still 
in the land of the living and 

1578
01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:36,440
bow to the name of Jesus. 
I ask that Your Holy Spirit 

1579
01:49:36,440 --> 01:49:41,720
dwell here with me and my family
and that You will lead and guide

1580
01:49:41,720 --> 01:49:45,640
us through this process today. 
Please send angelic assistance 

1581
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:49,720
to help with the removal of all 
of these evil spirits. 

1582
01:49:50,680 --> 01:49:54,760
Send the angels to war on my 
behalf and handle any demonic 

1583
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:58,640
powers that we cannot handle. 
Start opening all the windows 

1584
01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,560
and doors in your home, or at 
least one in each room. 

1585
01:50:03,520 --> 01:50:08,680
I command every evil spirit to 
leave this home now in the name 

1586
01:50:08,720 --> 01:50:12,000
of Jesus. 
You cannot stay here. 

1587
01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:17,960
You have no part in me. 
I renounce you and any other 

1588
01:50:17,960 --> 01:50:21,360
spirits that come with you. 
If the Holy Spirit specifically 

1589
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:26,040
impresses upon you a particular 
spirit or spirits, make sure to 

1590
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:30,520
command them to leave by name. 
Example, spirit of infirmity, 

1591
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:36,680
addiction, sexual immorality, 
poverty, suicide, anything that 

1592
01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:40,560
comes to mind. 
Call it by name and tell it to 

1593
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:45,360
leave in the name of Jesus. 
Now you go room by room with the

1594
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:50,320
anointing oil, all the doors and
windows at the top or corner 

1595
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:54,320
with the sign of the cross over 
each door and window. 

1596
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:58,920
You say this. 
I close this door or window in 

1597
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:01,840
the spirit realm to any evil 
spirit. 

1598
01:51:01,960 --> 01:51:05,960
No longer shall you use this as 
an access point to gain entrance

1599
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:08,920
into this home. 
Only angels assigned by the 

1600
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:12,400
Commander of Heaven's armies are
allowed to enter this home. 

1601
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:17,680
I mark the sign of the cross as 
a reminder to you that this 

1602
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:22,720
house is covered under the blood
of Jesus and you shall Passover 

1603
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:25,800
it and never enter into this 
house again. 

1604
01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:29,960
In Jesus name. 
Go through your entire house and

1605
01:51:29,960 --> 01:51:34,000
do this for everyone to endure. 
If you come across items as 

1606
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,320
you're going through the house 
that give you a feeling that a 

1607
01:51:36,320 --> 01:51:40,360
spirit may be attached to it, 
you need to remove it from your 

1608
01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:42,360
home. 
Just as you have doors in the 

1609
01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:46,880
natural, there are doorways that
spirits can use to go in and out

1610
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:49,920
of your house. 
This could be mirrors. 

1611
01:51:50,200 --> 01:51:53,880
So you need to take oil, put it 
on your index finger and make 

1612
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:57,840
the cross at the top of the 
mirror or in a corner of the 

1613
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:02,760
mirror and say if this is a 
doorway in the spirit realm that

1614
01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:07,480
evil spirits are using to enter 
this house, I close it in the 

1615
01:52:07,480 --> 01:52:10,800
name of Jesus. 
You can no longer use this as a 

1616
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:14,560
doorway. 
This is a mirror, an inanimate 

1617
01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:18,800
object that will never be used 
as a spiritual portal again. 

1618
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:23,280
I command it to be closed in 
Jesus name. 

1619
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:27,520
That's it. 
Once you've gone through all the

1620
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:30,880
rooms in your home, those 
spirits will be gone and you can

1621
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:33,720
start closing the windows and 
doors in your house. 

1622
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:39,360
This is quite the process, but 
you will feel so much peace in 

1623
01:52:39,360 --> 01:52:43,320
your home after you do this and 
you should no longer have any 

1624
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:47,000
spirits in your home. 
These are just some examples of 

1625
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:50,400
prayers that you can use and 
pass on to your friends and 

1626
01:52:50,400 --> 01:52:54,960
fellow brothers and sisters. 
If you require more prayers, I 

1627
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:58,520
highly encourage you to seek out
Derek Prince's books, 

1628
01:52:59,680 --> 01:53:05,240
missionariesofprayer.org, Dan 
Duvall's books, and feel free to

1629
01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:08,280
visit the Telegram channel link 
in the description. 

1630
01:53:09,440 --> 01:53:12,200
I could keep reading prayers, 
but this video has given you a 

1631
01:53:12,440 --> 01:53:16,080
fantastic starting point. 
Thank you for taking the time to

1632
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:19,760
listen and I pray this has 
helped you bring yourself closer

1633
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:25,400
to God in your prayer life. 
God bless you and your family in

1634
01:53:25,440 --> 01:53:27,800
these very difficult times 
ahead. 

1635
01:53:34,600 --> 01:53:39,320
Ah, one more thing. 
I'll leave you with one last 

1636
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:41,600
prayer. 
And I do suggest you 

1637
01:53:41,600 --> 01:53:45,800
participate. 
This is Derek Prince's 

1638
01:53:45,800 --> 01:53:51,560
deliverance prayer. 
Perform it multiple times and it

1639
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:55,520
will be in the library as well. 
God bless. 

1640
01:53:58,120 --> 01:54:00,480
All right, now I'm going to ask 
you to say this prayer. 

1641
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:13,720
Lord Jesus Christ, I believe 
that you are the Son of God and 

1642
01:54:13,720 --> 01:54:20,040
the only way to God, that you 
died on the cross for my sins 

1643
01:54:22,640 --> 01:54:30,240
and rose again from the dead. 
I now confess to you any sins of

1644
01:54:30,240 --> 01:54:38,120
which you have made me 
conscious, all sins committed by

1645
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:44,120
my ancestors. 
Now just take a little while and

1646
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:47,640
be as thorough as you can. 
Confess anything specific that 

1647
01:54:47,640 --> 01:54:50,240
the Holy Spirit brings to your 
mind quietly. 

1648
01:54:50,480 --> 01:54:52,080
You don't have to tell anybody 
else. 

1649
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:01,040
All right, now we're going on. 
The next thing is repentance. 

1650
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:05,120
Lord, I repent of all sins I 
have ever committed. 

1651
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:13,760
I hate them and I turn from 
them. 

1652
01:55:15,240 --> 01:55:21,600
I turn to you, Lord Jesus, for 
mercy and forgiveness. 

1653
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:32,720
If I have been involved with the
account, I repent and I renounce

1654
01:55:32,720 --> 01:55:39,880
it and I sever myself from it 
through the blood of Jesus. 

1655
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:48,920
If I have occult objects in my 
possession, I commit myself to 

1656
01:55:48,920 --> 01:55:54,720
get rid of them. 
Now the next one is forgiving 

1657
01:55:54,720 --> 01:55:58,160
other people. 
Lord, I forgive any person who 

1658
01:55:58,160 --> 01:55:59,880
has ever harmed me or wronged 
me. 

1659
01:56:05,120 --> 01:56:08,120
I forgive them just as I want 
you to forgive me. 

1660
01:56:11,880 --> 01:56:15,240
Now take a little while and name
the persons that you need to 

1661
01:56:15,240 --> 01:56:20,440
forgive. 
And the name that's hardest is 

1662
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:29,250
the one you most need to say. 
All right, we're going on. 

1663
01:56:30,290 --> 01:56:39,360
Lord, to the best of my ability,
I've met your conditions and I 

1664
01:56:39,360 --> 01:56:45,640
now claim your promise. 
Whoever shall call on the name 

1665
01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:56,440
of the Lord shall be delivered. 
I'm calling on you now in the 

1666
01:56:56,440 --> 01:57:00,920
name of the Lord Jesus. 
Deliver me from all evil 

1667
01:57:00,920 --> 01:57:04,840
spirits. 
I hate them. 

1668
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:09,280
They are not my friends, they 
are my enemies. 

1669
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:16,760
And I command them to go for me 
now in the name of Jesus, now 

1670
01:57:16,800 --> 01:57:19,080
you let them go. 
I'll command them to go. 

1671
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:22,160
Don't go on praying. 
Get rid of them now. 

1672
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:25,200
In the name of the Lord Jesus 
Christ, under the authority of 

1673
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:28,840
the leadership of this 
conference, I come against every

1674
01:57:28,840 --> 01:57:32,800
evil spirit that has been 
renounced in the name of Jesus 

1675
01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:35,800
the Commander, to come out. 
Release them. 

1676
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:38,760
Go from them in the name of 
Jesus. 

1677
01:57:38,880 --> 01:57:43,480
Let them go, Let them go. 
You've been defeated by the 

1678
01:57:43,480 --> 01:57:46,160
blood of Jesus. 
You have been defeated by the 

1679
01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:50,720
blood of Jesus. 
Jesus Christ is Lord over this 

1680
01:57:50,720 --> 01:57:53,920
gathering. 
You have to obey the word of 

1681
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:57,000
God. 
You have to obey the servants of

1682
01:57:57,000 --> 01:58:00,560
God. 
We stand against you, Satan, in 

1683
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:07,120
the name of Jesus, all your 
demons, you have to go in Jesus 

1684
01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:15,120
name. 
Now I'm going to deal with 

1685
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:18,800
specific categories. 
I'm going to start with the 

1686
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:22,240
occult, with all forms of 
witchcraft. 

1687
01:58:22,360 --> 01:58:24,400
If it's not come out, let it go 
now. 

1688
01:58:25,240 --> 01:58:29,400
Now in the name of Jesus, we 
come against all occult spirits,

1689
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:33,800
every form of witchcraft, 
sorcery, divination. 

1690
01:58:33,800 --> 01:58:37,080
Get out in the name of Jesus. 
Get out in the name of Jesus. 

1691
01:58:37,440 --> 01:58:41,360
Come out, Come out. 
Come out in Jesus name. 

1692
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:43,560
You bow before the name of 
Jesus. 

1693
01:58:44,040 --> 01:58:46,160
Release these people. 
Come out. 

1694
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:52,600
Come out in Jesus name. 
In the name of Jesus. 

1695
01:58:52,760 --> 01:58:56,480
That's right, that's right. 
You have to go. 

1696
01:58:56,600 --> 01:59:02,720
You have to go, you have to go. 
Jesus defeated you when he died 

1697
01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:05,040
and shed his blood and rose from
the den. 

1698
01:59:05,320 --> 01:59:09,480
Satan, you are subject to us in 
the name of Jesus. 

1699
01:59:09,520 --> 01:59:14,880
Every spirit of witchcraft, 
divination, sorcery, out in the 

1700
01:59:14,880 --> 01:59:18,080
name of Jesus. 
Go release these people. 

1701
01:59:18,120 --> 01:59:25,280
I will in a minute. 
Every spirit of false religion 

1702
01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:29,160
out in the name of Jesus. 
You have to go. 

1703
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:33,440
You have to go in the name of 
Jesus. 

1704
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:37,520
That's right. 
Then rebellion. 

1705
01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:41,040
There are many of you young 
people here tonight who have a 

1706
01:59:41,040 --> 01:59:43,200
spirit of rebellion. 
Come out. 

1707
01:59:44,400 --> 01:59:52,600
Go from there in Jesus name. 
That's right out. 

1708
01:59:52,680 --> 02:00:07,400
Amen. 
Now every spirit of fear say 

1709
02:00:07,400 --> 02:00:09,560
this. 
God has not given me a spirit of

1710
02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:15,520
fear. 
I renounce any spirit of fear, 

1711
02:00:18,160 --> 02:00:24,720
and I commanded to go. 
In the name of Jesus, let it go.

1712
02:00:29,080 --> 02:00:29,360
Out. 
Out. 

1713
02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:39,720
In the name of Jesus. 
Out, out, out. 

1714
02:00:43,200 --> 02:00:44,800
That's right. 
Hate it. 

1715
02:00:45,560 --> 02:00:47,880
Hate it. 
I hate it. 

1716
02:00:47,960 --> 02:00:54,480
It's not your friend. 
Every spirit of grief out in the

1717
02:00:54,480 --> 02:01:01,960
name of Jesus. 
Every spirit of loneliness, 

1718
02:01:03,080 --> 02:01:14,440
depression, rejection, come out.
Every spirit of suicide come 

1719
02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:28,960
out. 
Now then, I want you to say, I 

1720
02:01:28,960 --> 02:01:32,800
shall not die, but live and 
declare the works of the Lord. 

1721
02:01:32,840 --> 02:01:37,080
Are you there? 
I shall not die, but live and 

1722
02:01:37,080 --> 02:01:41,560
declare the works of the Lord. 
Now every spirit of death, come 

1723
02:01:41,560 --> 02:01:45,120
out, go from these people. 
Release them in the name of 

1724
02:01:45,200 --> 02:01:47,520
Jesus. 
Release them in the name of 

1725
02:01:47,520 --> 02:01:50,280
Jesus. 
Release them every spirit of 

1726
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:54,440
death, Amen. 
Come out, come out, come out in 

1727
02:01:54,600 --> 02:02:01,840
Jesus name, in Jesus name, 
destruction, self destruction, 

1728
02:02:02,080 --> 02:02:07,240
out in the name of Jesus. 
Jesus, that's right, I'm out. 

1729
02:02:08,360 --> 02:02:10,840
You shall not destroy the people
of God. 

1730
02:02:10,840 --> 02:02:14,160
They're God's property. 
You release them and go from 

1731
02:02:14,160 --> 02:02:27,640
them. 
All right? 

1732
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:31,680
Now we're going to deal with 
resentment and all the ones that

1733
02:02:31,680 --> 02:02:36,240
go with that. 
Every spirit of resentment come 

1734
02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:40,600
out. 
Every spirit of resentment in 

1735
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:46,200
the name of Jesus, release these
people, go from them in Jesus 

1736
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:53,200
name. 
Unforgiveness, anger, hatred, 

1737
02:02:53,200 --> 02:02:59,160
violence, and murder come out in
the name of Jesus, the spirit of

1738
02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:01,720
murder. 
Bow before the name of Jesus and

1739
02:03:01,720 --> 02:03:05,000
come out. 
Go from them in the name of 

1740
02:03:05,080 --> 02:03:08,120
Jesus. 
Out, out, out. 

1741
02:03:09,160 --> 02:03:12,000
Some of you need to say several 
times to yourself, I shall not 

1742
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:14,520
die, but live and declare the 
works of the Lord. 

1743
02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:20,680
Say it for yourself. 
Be determined now, if there are 

1744
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:23,320
any women here that have 
deliberately procured an 

1745
02:03:23,320 --> 02:03:28,760
abortion to be delivered, you 
have to confess it as murder, 

1746
02:03:29,760 --> 02:03:34,840
and you'll be delivered from the
spirit of murder and of death if

1747
02:03:34,840 --> 02:03:37,800
you'll just confess it to God. 
You don't have to confess it to 

1748
02:03:37,840 --> 02:03:43,160
us. 
You can be delivered now. 

1749
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:47,040
Lord, we come against the 
spirits of murder that have 

1750
02:03:47,040 --> 02:03:50,560
caused women to murder their own
babies in Jesus name. 

1751
02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:53,480
You get out of this place, you 
go from this place. 

1752
02:03:54,120 --> 02:03:57,960
We don't entertain you. 
We give you no room. 

1753
02:03:58,760 --> 02:04:04,200
We offer you no mercy. 
You have to go, go, go in Jesus 

1754
02:04:04,200 --> 02:04:17,880
name. 
Now we're going to deal with the

1755
02:04:17,880 --> 02:04:22,040
negative emotions. 
Disappointment. 

1756
02:04:22,640 --> 02:04:28,680
You any spirit of disappointment
here we break your whole over 

1757
02:04:28,680 --> 02:04:38,200
the people of God in Jesus name.
Loneliness, misery, depression, 

1758
02:04:38,600 --> 02:04:43,000
self destruction out especially 
depression. 

1759
02:04:43,040 --> 02:04:46,520
Come out. 
Depression, loose them in the 

1760
02:04:46,520 --> 02:04:49,240
name of Jesus. 
Loose them in the name of Jesus.

1761
02:04:50,080 --> 02:04:52,520
There's many spirits of 
depression here tonight. 

1762
02:04:52,600 --> 02:04:57,000
Out you go in Jesus name. 
You release the people of God. 

1763
02:05:02,320 --> 02:05:04,920
All right, we're going to deal 
with the ones that affect the 

1764
02:05:04,920 --> 02:05:08,200
mind. 
Lord, we come against those 

1765
02:05:08,200 --> 02:05:14,680
spirits that torment the mind. 
Unbelief, doubt, compromise, 

1766
02:05:15,160 --> 02:05:21,800
forgetfulness, confusion, 
torment, and insanity. 

1767
02:05:21,840 --> 02:05:26,680
Insanity. 
You come out, out, out. 

1768
02:05:27,640 --> 02:05:29,480
Amen. 
In the name of Jesus. 

1769
02:05:30,160 --> 02:05:41,880
In the name of Jesus, I'm going 
to come against insanity again. 

1770
02:05:43,360 --> 02:05:45,560
That's right. 
Every spirit of insanity, you 

1771
02:05:45,560 --> 02:05:57,400
come out Now. 
God has shown me there's a witch

1772
02:05:57,400 --> 02:05:59,680
here tonight. 
I'm not going to point you out, 

1773
02:06:00,360 --> 02:06:02,520
but this is your last 
opportunity. 

1774
02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:06,360
If you don't renounce your trade
as a witch tonight, you'll 

1775
02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:08,720
perish forever in hell. 
Out. 

1776
02:06:09,480 --> 02:06:16,320
In the name of Jesus, Out. 
Out, out, out in the name of 

1777
02:06:16,320 --> 02:06:21,560
Jesus. 
Amen. 

1778
02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:31,640
Amen. 
All right, we're going to deal 

1779
02:06:31,640 --> 02:06:40,000
with the tongue. 
Every lying spirit come out, not

1780
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:43,560
only the ones that make you tell
lies, but the ones that lie to 

1781
02:06:43,560 --> 02:06:47,840
you, tell you God doesn't love 
you, you can't be healed, 

1782
02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:50,520
there's no hope for you. 
There's a lying spirit. 

1783
02:06:51,160 --> 02:06:53,200
Renounce them in the name of 
Jesus. 

1784
02:06:57,000 --> 02:07:01,640
Every spirit that counteth its 
sickness and tells healed people

1785
02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:04,400
that they're still sick, you 
leave them in the name of Jesus.

1786
02:07:05,280 --> 02:07:16,480
You'd release them, go from them
in Jesus name, every spirit of 

1787
02:07:16,480 --> 02:07:27,400
cursing and blasphemy out in the
name of Jesus and every church 

1788
02:07:27,400 --> 02:07:29,640
going spirit of gossip and 
criticism. 

1789
02:07:29,640 --> 02:07:35,600
Come out, humble yourself and 
the knowledge you're a gossip, 

1790
02:07:35,800 --> 02:07:38,880
you're a tale bearer. 
God hates tale bearing. 

1791
02:07:40,080 --> 02:07:42,960
There's no place for you in 
heaven unless you renounce it 

1792
02:07:43,880 --> 02:07:49,000
and get delivered from it. 
God hates those who sow discord 

1793
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:54,080
between brethren. 
You need to repent. 

1794
02:07:57,480 --> 02:08:02,080
You're very religious, but 
you're also very wicked. 

1795
02:08:12,200 --> 02:08:16,360
All right, We come to the area 
that no one ever talks about 

1796
02:08:16,360 --> 02:08:19,310
sex. 
All. 

1797
02:08:28,080 --> 02:08:32,360
Right we're we're going on with 
our program Amen, Amen. 

1798
02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:34,800
And first of all, we're going to
start with masturbation. 

1799
02:08:35,800 --> 02:08:40,480
Every spirit of masturbation in 
the name of Jesus you go from 

1800
02:08:40,480 --> 02:08:43,240
these people. 
Release them, release their 

1801
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:47,440
fingers, release their hands, 
release their sexual organs. 

1802
02:08:47,440 --> 02:08:50,760
In the name of Jesus. 
Out, out. 

1803
02:08:50,960 --> 02:08:53,720
Don't be proud. 
Don't be proud. 

1804
02:08:54,520 --> 02:08:57,520
If it's in your fingers, shake 
it out, Let it go. 

1805
02:08:57,760 --> 02:09:00,760
That's right. 
In the name of Jesus. 

1806
02:09:01,080 --> 02:09:04,440
In the name of Jesus. 
You've got to hate it. 

1807
02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:07,560
It's not your friend, it's your 
enemy. 

1808
02:09:08,120 --> 02:09:09,680
That's right. 
Get it out. 

1809
02:09:09,800 --> 02:09:11,960
Let it go. 
In the name of Jesus. 

1810
02:09:11,960 --> 02:09:14,760
Through the blood of Jesus, be 
determined. 

1811
02:09:14,840 --> 02:09:18,520
Be absolutely determined. 
You are not going to tolerate it

1812
02:09:18,800 --> 02:09:22,240
any longer. 
It has no place in you. 

1813
02:09:22,800 --> 02:09:25,760
Your body has been redeemed by 
the blood of Jesus. 

1814
02:09:28,280 --> 02:09:33,400
And then we come to the other 
sins, fornication, adultery, out

1815
02:09:34,400 --> 02:09:37,400
the name of Jesus. 
In the name of Jesus. 

1816
02:09:38,520 --> 02:09:42,160
There's no place in heaven for 
fornicators and adulterers. 

1817
02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:46,840
Every spirit of homosexuality, 
Yes. 

1818
02:09:47,280 --> 02:09:50,040
How? 
In the name of Jesus. 

1819
02:09:50,240 --> 02:09:55,480
Out in the name of Jesus. 
You go, you go, you go. 

1820
02:09:58,400 --> 02:10:05,030
Amen. 
Amen. 

1821
02:10:05,030 --> 02:10:08,070
Every spirit of pornography. 
Now, there are several here 

1822
02:10:08,070 --> 02:10:12,470
tonight who are bound and 
enslaved by pornography. 

1823
02:10:13,110 --> 02:10:15,910
Renounce it. 
Let it go from you. 

1824
02:10:16,840 --> 02:10:21,800
What you do in secret, God sees.
There are no secrets with God. 

1825
02:10:22,680 --> 02:10:27,320
Some of you are churchgoers, but
you're pornography viewers out. 

1826
02:10:28,560 --> 02:10:32,720
Renounce it. 
Renounce it in the name of 

1827
02:10:32,800 --> 02:10:35,520
Jesus. 
Amen. 

1828
02:10:39,960 --> 02:10:43,000
What about taking a few moments 
to thank God for what he's done?

1829
02:10:45,160 --> 02:10:52,560
Thank you, Lord, thank you. 
For.

Thank you for the victory. 
Thank you for the victory.
