We love and appreciate him and 27 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,760 his obedience to the Word and to the will of God. 28 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,640 Amen. We're just going to join in, 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,240 aren't we? We're just going to get in the 30 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,800 yoke with him tonight and work the land tonight. 31 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,760 By the by the word of the Lord, will you make welcome one more 32 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,320 time here this evening. Give God praise and glory as 33 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,200 Evangelist Sanford comes Amen this evening. 34 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,440 Amen. Let's give the Lord some praise 35 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,360 in the house. Come on, let's praise Him for 36 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,600 what he's already done, and let's praise Him for what he's 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,720 going to continue doing in this house. 38 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,800 Amen. I don't believe the Lord has 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,080 finished just yet. And we've had a great move of 40 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,360 the Holy Ghost and people being renewed and refreshed, and we're 41 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,120 going to have the name of Jesus applied in just a few minutes. 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,880 And I'll just echo what Brother Mcgee's already said. 43 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,120 The Lord can do a whole lot in a short amount of time. 44 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,520 And if you're here and you've never been baptized in Jesus 45 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,600 name, the waters are about to be troubled in the next few 46 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:50,000 minutes. I'm glad to know that when we 47 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,600 get baptized, we do more than just get wet. 48 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,240 It's more than just a feel good moment. 49 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,720 We do feel good. But you enter into a covenant 50 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,040 relationship with the Lord. His name's applied to your life. 51 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,360 His blood covers your life. And you're no longer at a 52 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,440 disadvantage. You're no longer the victim. 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,200 Amen. Thank God for baptism in His 54 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,440 name. Neither is there salvation in 55 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,120 any other, for there is no other name given among men under 56 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,840 heaven whereby we must be saved. Amen. 57 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,160 Whatsoever you do, in Word or in deed, do it all in the name of 58 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,440 Jesus. Amen. 59 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,080 I'm glad that I've got the name applied to my life. 60 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,080 And if you don't have the name applied to your life, just be 61 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200 like that eunuch. Why, Terrius thou there's much 62 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,280 water here. Amen. 63 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Amen. This is. 64 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,800 What revival's all about this is what? 65 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,600 Revival's all about Amen and I'm just excited about what the Lord 66 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,440 is.

If you have your Bibles, I will 71 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,399 go quickly to 2nd Corinthians chapter #10 and I will read 72 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:25,440 verses 3 through 6. And there are a lot of times 73 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,440 when evangelists go in to preach, people say, oh, you 74 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,640 already know what you're going to preach before you get there. 75 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,920 Sometimes that's true and sometimes it's not true. 76 00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:44,080 And in fact, it was during the service this morning that I felt 77 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,200 direction for the service tonight. 78 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,400 And I feel a confirmation of the Holy Ghost in this house. 79 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,680 The Lord's going to help some of us. 80 00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:56,640 He's going to help all of us if we'll let him. 81 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,000 Amen. I give honor to brother and 82 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,840 Sister McGee again. Love and appreciate them and 83 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:05,120 give them honor tonight.

And thank you for the invitation 86 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,360 and for the room and the gift basket for the toy trucks and 87 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,440 football. Amen. 88 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,400 It's just good to be here. Second Corinthians chapter #10 89 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,520 and verse #3 through verse number six says for though we 90 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,800 walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. 91 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,800 The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through 92 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,160 God to the pulling. Down of. 93 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,080 Strongholds. Everybody say strongholds, 94 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,400 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth 95 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,400 itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity 96 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,240 every thought to the obedience of Christ, and having a 97 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,240 readiness or having any readiness to revenge all 98 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:07,680 disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 99 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,680 Though we walk after the. Flesh we do not war after the 100 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,480 flesh. Bible says that we cast down 101 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,640 imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself 102 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,240 against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every 103 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,920 thought to the obedience of Christ. 104 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,360 My title tonight is 2 very simple words I want to preach to 105 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,080 you tonight on this subject. Fictional Kingdom. 106 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,640 Fictional Kingdom. How many wants to move with the 107 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,040 Holy Ghost in this house tonight? 108 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,880 Amen. Why don't we one more time lift 109 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,200 our hands before we're seated? And as our hands are lifted, why 110 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,800 don't we once again join our voices together? 111 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,720 Let's open up our. Hearts and our spirits for the 112 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,320 next few moments where the word have recourse. 113 00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:27,030 Lord, let there be liberty and the Holy Ghost in this room. 114 00:07:28,870 --> 00:07:32,710 I bind every work of the enemy right now, every spirit of 115 00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:44,760 distraction. Confirm your word with signs 116 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:51,760 following, Confirm your word with signs following in Jesus 117 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,240 name. And why don't you give the Lord 118 00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:02,080 another great handclap of praise all over the house, and you may 119 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,600 be seated. Thank you for standing Kingdom. 120 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,480 It is a term that was first used in the 1700s by the Swedish 121 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,840 botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician Karl Linnaeus. 122 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,640 Linnaeus's claim to fame was that he was the first individual 123 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,760 who formalized the binomial nomenclature, or the modern 124 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,480 system of naming organisms. And while most scientists today 125 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,080 believe that there are at least 5. 126 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,559 Kingdoms some. Argue that there's even 6. 127 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,400 Carleneus was the first scientist who said that there 128 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,960 were two kingdoms, an animal Kingdom and a plant Kingdom. 129 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,120 The good news is I haven't come to bore you with a biology 130 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,400 lesson on a Sunday night revival service. 131 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,520 But my task in this room is going to go beyond the physical, 132 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,240 tangible Kingdom. The you and I are a. 133 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,840 Part of because I've come. To remind us. 134 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,920 That we all are or we also have two other. 135 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,600 Kingdoms that are very much at play in the present hour that we 136 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,200 live in. You see the two kingdoms that 137 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920 I've come to talk. About goes beyond that fleshly 138 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,760 animal Kingdom that you and I belong to, because they are. 139 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,720 Kingdoms that deal with spiritual. 140 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,000 Matters, and even though they are. 141 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,640 Spiritual. Kingdoms they are just as. 142 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,160 Real as the kingdoms, we learned. 143 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,200 About in a science class, you see there is an. 144 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,880 Animal Kingdom and there. Is a plant Kingdom. 145 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,280 And there are at. Least three to four other. 146 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,080 Kingdoms depending on who you. Ask but I've. 147 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,000 Come to remind everybody in this room that we as the church are 148 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,480 an integral part, and when Speaking of God's Kingdom, the 149 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,440 Bible has many things to say about. 150 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,760 It Psalm one O 3 and 19. Declares that the Lord hath 151 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,920 prepared his throne in the. Heavens and His Kingdom. 152 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,480 Ruleth over all, Daniel 244 says, and in the days of these. 153 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,160 Kings. Shall the God of heaven set up a 154 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,080 Kingdom which shall never be destroyed? 155 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,640 And the Kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it 156 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,760 shall. Break in pieces and consume. 157 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,600 All of these kingdoms and it shall stand. 158 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,400 Forever, Matthew. Chapter 16. 159 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,240 The Lord says to Peter, Upon this rock I will build my 160 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,160 church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it, 161 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:31,360 and I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of. 162 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,080 Heaven and. Whatsoever thou shalt bound on 163 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,240 earth shall be. Bound in heaven and. 164 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,240 Whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 165 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,800 Matthew 24 says in this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be. 166 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,000 Preached in all the. World for a witness unto all 167 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,080 nations. And Luke chapter 1 says, Behold, 168 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,800 thou shalt. Conceive in thy womb. 169 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:57,960 And bring forth a son, and call his name Jesus, and he shall 170 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,440 reign over the House of Jacob Forever. 171 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,440 And of his Kingdom there shall be no end. 172 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,760 Ladies and gentlemen, can I remind you that God has a 173 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,920 Kingdom? And since the moment he 174 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,560 established His Kingdom, there has been nothing like it. 175 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,680 Because it is a supernatural Kingdom. 176 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,680 It is a Kingdom of power, dominion, and authority. 177 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,400 You see, God's Kingdom is His still exercised in earth as it 178 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,880 is in heaven. You see, in God's Kingdom there 179 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,560 is forgiveness of sins. In God's Kingdom there is 180 00:11:32,560 --> 00:11:35,600 newness of life. In God's Kingdom there are 181 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,120 miracles, signs and wonders. There is deliverance and 182 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,120 spiritual breakthroughs. This is why when Jesus announced 183 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,840 the good news of the Kingdom, sin and sickness, demons, 184 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,840 poverty and death could not remain, because there is nothing 185 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,720 like the Kingdom of God and there is nothing like being a 186 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,600 part of the Kingdom of God. Can I tell this congregation you 187 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,760 are a part of something that will never be conquered? 188 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,720 You are a part of something that will never be destroyed. 189 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,120 We are a part of the Kingdom that has no end. 190 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,560 But honesty demands me to tell this congregation that while God 191 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:22,080 has a Kingdom, Satan also has a Kingdom. 192 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,240 I need you to understand this as we go into the heart of the 193 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,000 sermon. Satan has a Kingdom. 194 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,960 This is why Matthew chapter 12 says Jesus knew their thoughts 195 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,360 and said unto them, Every Kingdom divided against itself 196 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,600 is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided 197 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:47,520 against itself shall not stand. And if Satan cast out Satan, he 198 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,640 is divided, How shall then his Kingdom stand? 199 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,960 You see, the Bible not only sheds light on God's Kingdom, 200 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,840 but it also sheds light on Satan's Kingdom because in Luke 201 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,400 chapter 4, it tells us that Satan's Kingdom influences the 202 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,600 kingdoms of this world. In Ephesians chapters 2 and six, 203 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,120 his Kingdom operates in the atmospheric heavens, and in 204 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,360 Colossians chapter 1, his Kingdom is a Kingdom of 205 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,640 darkness. And when you begin to look at 206 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,960 Satan's Kingdom, you understand that it is diametrically opposed 207 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,640 to God's Kingdom. You see, God's Kingdom is a 208 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,720 Kingdom of light, but Satan's Kingdom is a Kingdom of 209 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,000 darkness. God's Kingdom is a Kingdom of 210 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,920 holiness and righteousness, but Satan's is sin and 211 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,720 unrighteousness. God has a Kingdom that is built 212 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,320 on truth, but Satan's is built on deception. 213 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,200 In God's Kingdom there's healing and health, but in Satan's 214 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,360 there's sickness and death. In God's Kingdom there is joy, 215 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,320 unspeakable and full of glory, but in Satan's Kingdom there is 216 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,920 sorrow, anxiety, and discouragement. 217 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:13,200 Everything in Satan's Kingdom is a direct attack and completely 218 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:19,320 counters everything that God has established in his Satan has a 219 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,560 throne. He has doctrines and men that 220 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,120 willingly preach it. He has a table of communion. 221 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,360 He has people that sacrifice on his altar. 222 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,400 He has the ability to pose as an Angel of light. 223 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,680 He also has the ability to perform counterfeit miracles, 224 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,800 signs, and wonders. He has false apostles and false 225 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,720 prophets and false teachers. There's even a city called 226 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,960 Mystery Babylon that opposes New Jerusalem. 227 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,640 He has a harlot church that opposes the bride of Christ. 228 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,240 I've come to remind everybody in this room that Satan, the very 229 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,320 entity we battle with, has a Kingdom. 230 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,720 And because he has a Kingdom, that means he has power. 231 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,800 I can say Satan has power because you cannot have a 232 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,560 Kingdom without having power. This is why Ephesians teaches us 233 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,360 that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against 234 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,520 principalities and powers. And Satan's going to use that 235 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,560 power whenever he finds an opportunity. 236 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,720 I've come to tell you that he's going to use that power to 237 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,320 attack our churches. He's going to use that power to 238 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,720 attack our homes, our marriages, and our families. 239 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,360 He's going to, he's going to do his best to trouble our hearts, 240 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,760 vex our minds, and oppress our spirit. 241 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:51,120 God has a Kingdom, but Satan also has a Kingdom. 242 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,960 He has a Kingdom. He has power. 243 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,720 But I've got good news to tell you on a Sunday night, and that 244 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,360 is if you've been to Calvary, if you've repented of your sins, 245 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,880 been baptized in Jesus name and received the gift of the Holy 246 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,440 Ghost, if you've been born of the water and of the Spirit, 247 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,040 Satan no longer has power over you. 248 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,960 This is why Colossians teaches us that when Jesus went to the 249 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,000 cross, he spoiled principalities and powers. 250 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,640 He stripped tail of all of its power. 251 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,120 He stripped the enemy of all of his authority. 252 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:36,120 And if we've obeyed the gospel, his power and authority has been 253 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:42,520 stripped away over our life. Jesus tells us that when a 254 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,680 stronger one than he is going to come and overcomes him, he's 255 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,720 going to take away his armor, those things he trusted in, and 256 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,800 divides his spoils. You know who Jesus is talking 257 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,640 about? He's talking about himself, he 258 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,400 said. Because when I go to Calvary, 259 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,960 when I die on the cross, I'm going to strip hell. 260 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,920 I'm going to strip the enemy of all of his power. 261 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:16,800 Thank God the stronger man came. Thank God he spoiled 262 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:24,599 principalities and powers. So if Satan no longer has power 263 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:32,520 over us, why is it that I still see individuals, individuals who 264 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,240 have obeyed the Gospel, still living under the power of hell? 265 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,160 How is it that Satan still has power over people? 266 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,560 Not just power against them, but power over them? 267 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,280 See, it's one thing to have power against somebody. 268 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,440 It's something entirely different to have power over 269 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,800 somebody. So where does Satan get his 270 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,000 power over us from? I've come with the answer. 271 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,560 He gets His power over us from us. 272 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,480 You see, men and women, humanity is composed of body, soul, and 273 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,720 spirit. If you're filled with the Holy 274 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,480 Ghost, he cannot touch your spirit. 275 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,120 And because of this, he's going to attack your body and soul in 276 00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:25,280 order to get to your spirit. But I have not come to preach 277 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,560 about the attack on the body, But my focus in this room is the 278 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:34,120 attack on the soul, because soul throughout the Scripture is 279 00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:37,480 often translated to mean the mind. 280 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,200 There is a battle for the spirit of every man and woman in this 281 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,120 room. There is a battle for the body 282 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:46,680 of every man and woman in this room. 283 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,400 But Brother McGee, I've come to learn that the greatest battle 284 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,760 anybody will fight is the battle of the soul. 285 00:18:54,240 --> 00:19:03,760 It is the battle of the mind. The book of Daniel prophecies 286 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,360 this very thing. Daniel said there's a day coming 287 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,200 when the Antichrist will change the times, seasons and wear out 288 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,200 the Saints. Can I tell you he's changing the 289 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,040 times and he's changing the seasons, but he's also wearing 290 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,360 out the Saints because that phrase, wear out the Saints 291 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:29,240 means to cause mental anguish or to attack somebody in their 292 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,720 mind. Then can I tell you that Paul 293 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,000 already told us that the spirit of Antichrist is already at 294 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,360 work. He's already attacking us. 295 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,880 He's already causing mental anguish. 296 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,720 There may be people in this room who's in a spiritual struggle. 297 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,280 There may be people in this room who's in a physical struggle, 298 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,680 but I've come to preach the people in in this room who finds 299 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,160 themselves in the midst of a mental struggle. 300 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,760 You see, there's three sources of thought. 301 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:06,280 We get our thoughts from one of three places ourselves, from God 302 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,000 or from Satan, and it's imperative that we are able to 303 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,360 discern the origin of every thought we have. 304 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,440 This is why you can't believe everything you think. 305 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,160 Because everything you think doesn't come from you, and it 306 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,480 doesn't come from God. This is why Paul says in our 307 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,000 text that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but 308 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,840 mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. 309 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,880 First of all, we must understand what a stronghold is. 310 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,240 That word stronghold comes from the Greek word which means a 311 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,640 fortress or a castle. Secondly, we we must know where 312 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,440 the stronghold is. We've got to know where the 313 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,800 castles are being built. This is why on the next verse, 314 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,400 Paul says that you've got to cast down imaginations and every 315 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,360 high thing you've got to bring into captivity every thought. 316 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,640 You've got to understand that Paul is rotting about a 317 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,840 stronghold and he tells us what it is, and he tells us, tell us 318 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,280 where it is. He said the enemy has a 319 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,680 stronghold. He's built a castle, that's what 320 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,000 it is. But then he tells us where it 321 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,040 is. He said the enemy desires to 322 00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,760 build a stronghold. He wants to build a castle. 323 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:33,560 In the minds of every individual, that word stronghold 324 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,280 is a unique word in the Greek language. 325 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,920 It comes from the word archeroma. 326 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,920 In fact, it's one of the oldest New Testament words, and it was 327 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,840 originally used to describe a fortress or a castle. 328 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,320 You see, because ancient castles have thick, high, impregnable 329 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,200 walls that were designed to keep outsiders from scaling the walls 330 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,560 or breaking in. Those walls were intended to 331 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,320 keep the enemy outside. That was the original meaning of 332 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,120 the word archeroma. But as time begins to pass, the 333 00:22:06,120 --> 00:22:10,840 word strongholder Orcheroma also became known as the same were 334 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,000 used to describe a prison. You see, since prisons are 335 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,480 highly guarded and very secure, they under we understand that 336 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,480 prisons are used to keep insiders from getting out. 337 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,200 So you've got to get this because Paul is wanting us to 338 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,280 understand that castles are built to keep outsiders from 339 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,360 getting in, but prisons are built to keep insiders from 340 00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:41,640 getting out. God, he can put good godly 341 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,920 thoughts in our mind, and from those thoughts he can build a 342 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,800 castle that keeps the enemy from getting in. 343 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,640 But the devil also complain of thought in our mind, and from 344 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,480 those thoughts he can build a prison that keeps us from 345 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:04,080 getting out. It's possible to be a prisoner 346 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,840 of your own mind. I've often had people ask the 347 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,200 question, why does the enemy attack our minds the way he 348 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,880 does? Although it's difficult to 349 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,960 determine the exact number, scientists estimate that we as 350 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,520 humans have between 12,000 to 70,000 faults a day. 351 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,920 We experience the present, the here and now in three second 352 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,280 chunks, and while it may only last three seconds, during these 353 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,360 three second thoughts, different pathways were formed as we 354 00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:43,400 think, and this 3 second thought will become the catalyst of how 355 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,960 we feel in that moment. The evolving science of 356 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,520 neuroplasticity shows that parts of our brain light up in 357 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,920 response to different stimuli or how we feel. 358 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,040 That's why in a matter of moments, we can go from feeling 359 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,480 happy to sad. And it's all because of a three 360 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:10,720 second fault in our brain. And that three second fault can 361 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:16,440 drastically affect the rest of our day, our week, the month, 362 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,440 years, or even a lifetime. I'm convinced that's why the 363 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,400 enemy attacks the mind because he understands that if I can 364 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,000 plant a fault in somebody's mind and if they don't cast that 365 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,080 thought down, it will ultimately affect their outlook and their 366 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,560 emotions. And all it takes is 3 seconds. 367 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,760 And if I don't cast the thought down, it is in that moment that 368 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,440 Satan begins to build a castle. It is in that moment that Satan 369 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,440 begins to establish his Kingdom. See, when we think of Satan 370 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,720 building kingdoms, we think of Satan established the 371 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,560 strongholds. We often think of cities or 372 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,040 territories, don't we? We can look at certain cities in 373 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,440 America and realize that there are certain strongholds in that 374 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,280 region. Some are controlled by sexual 375 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,680 strongholds, others are controlled by strongholds of 376 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,480 abuse and murder. Some are controlled by spirits 377 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,240 of indifference. They are religious spirits, and 378 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,200 the list goes on and on. But I've come to inform you that 379 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,560 there is another stronghold. There is another castle we 380 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,400 hardly speak of, and it's the stronghold. 381 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,640 It is the castle that hell is built in our minds. 382 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,200 You see, I haven't come to preach about the stronghold in 383 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,000 this city, but I've come to preach about the stronghold that 384 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,200 Paul warned us about. I've come to preach about the 385 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,160 castle that hell is built in our minds. 386 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,240 And all it took was a three second thought. 387 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:58,200 The greatest piece of real estate Satan can control is not 388 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,760 a city or a territory. The greatest piece of real 389 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:07,320 estate the enemy can control is our mind, because he understands 390 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:12,160 that if I can control your mind, I'll control your emotions, and 391 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,320 if I control your emotions, I can control your actions. 392 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:22,480 Boy, I feel my Holy Ghost. Now, how many of us are being 393 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:28,680 demonically tormented? See, we have trouble with that 394 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,560 statement, don't we? Because when we think of people 395 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,480 being tormented demonically, we think about those in the Bible 396 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,520 growling and breaking chains and gnashing teeth and eating 397 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,360 chickens. But can I tell you, not all 398 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:46,760 demonic torment is visible. Not all demonic torment is 399 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,720 public for everybody to see. We struggle with that because in 400 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,320 the Bible it's very public. It's very, in fact, if you were 401 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,360 demon possessing the Bible, the entire seating you. 402 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,200 That's why Legion is chained up in the graveyard because they 403 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,520 can't do anything with him. So let's just chain him up. 404 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,640 Let's put him in a remote area and hopefully he'll leave 405 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,400 everybody alone. Ladies and gentlemen, if you 406 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,160 were possessed or tormented by the enemy in the Bible, 407 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:19,320 everybody knew it. But doesn't it seem odd though 408 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,520 we don't have a lot of those encounters anymore. 409 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:30,200 I remember growing up and I think I'm in a church that knows 410 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,880 what I'm talking about right now, Brother McGee. 411 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,160 I remember growing up when people came in under the 412 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:40,080 influence of a unclean spirit to we got the kids out of the 413 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,960 building. In fact, I remember sinners got 414 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,320 out because they realize I'm not right and I better get out of 415 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,280 here. I remember those open 416 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,240 manifestations. I remember those public displays 417 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,160 of demonic oppression. But isn't it amazing that we 418 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:02,080 don't see it much anymore? I begin to think about that some 419 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,400 time ago, and I believe that. Strategy of hell has changed. 420 00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:09,560 Because he wants to be harder to identify. 421 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,080 That's why Colossians teaches us that Satan's Kingdom is a 422 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,520 Kingdom of darkness, which means he operates outside of light. 423 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,400 He's a serpent. He doesn't want to be exposed. 424 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,800 He operates in the darkness. He operates in the shadows. 425 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,680 And so I've come to learn that Satan doesn't want to make a 426 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:34,520 scene out of our life as much as he just wants to stop our life 427 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:41,160 then humiliate us in public because his main priority is to 428 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,240 stop us. And he stops us by putting a 429 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,200 three second thought in our mind. 430 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,440 And slowly but surely over time he begins to build a castle. 431 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,640 Because the spiritual battleground of this generation 432 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,040 is the mind. That's why Paul told us in 433 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,840 Second Corinthians that I am afraid that as the serpent 434 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:12,160 deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds rising and demonic 435 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,400 thoughts are the most private form of oppression anybody can 436 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680 have. Because we may not be breaking 437 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,640 chains, we may not be rolling in the floor, we may not be foaming 438 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,760 at the mouth, but he can torment us because he planted a thought 439 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,560 in our mind. And because of that one three 440 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,560 second thought, he begins to build a Kingdom. 441 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,960 He begins to exercise power and authority, and nobody else may 442 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,800 see it, nobody else may be aware of it, and it's because Satan 443 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:49,600 has shifted his strategy. If I can put just one thought in 444 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,800 somebody's mind and they don't handle it properly, I can 445 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,200 exploit every area of their life. 446 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,960 And now he has power over us because he's built a Kingdom. 447 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,400 In our mind. I'm talking about thoughts of 448 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:15,960 fear, thoughts of anxiety, thoughts of worry, thoughts of 449 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:22,200 comparison, thoughts of low self esteem, insecurity, 450 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:28,840 hopelessness, depression, self hatred, shame. 451 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,880 I don't feel worthy, thoughts like my prayers will never be 452 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,640 answered, or thoughts like I'll never come out of this, or 453 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,480 thoughts like I'll never be healed. 454 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,160 Or thoughts like I should just quit the church. 455 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,880 Thoughts like I should divorce my spouse. 456 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,920 I should just quit the ministry. All it takes is a three second 457 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,960 window and if it's not cast down, he's going to build his 458 00:30:52,960 --> 00:31:01,440 Kingdom and use his power over us and we will live our life 459 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:07,800 believing it. I, unchallenged, will eventually 460 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,600 become the truth. See, castles are not built at 461 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,360 once. Strongholds are not built at 462 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,840 once, but they're built 1 brick at a time, one day at a time. 463 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,680 And can I tell you, Satan doesn't build his Kingdom in our 464 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:28,240 mind all at once, But brick by brick, lie by lie, deception by 465 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,600 deception, he begins to build it. 466 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,440 And even though we know what he's telling us is a lie, a lie 467 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,440 unchallenged will eventually become the truth. 468 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,080 Why do you think? Solomon says. 469 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,400 As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. 470 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,240 That word thinketh is the word that means a gatekeeper. 471 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,320 Because whatever or however you think determines what has access 472 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,920 in your life. How you see yourself and what 473 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:02,360 you think of yourself and how you even talk about yourself is 474 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,080 eventually what you're going to become. 475 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:08,520 Because as a man thinketh, he's going to open up his heart and 476 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,960 he's going to give access to God or he's going to give access to 477 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:18,200 the enemy. I've come compelled by the Holy 478 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,480 Ghost to preach the people in this room. 479 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,440 I feel my Holy Ghost now. I've come to preach the people 480 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,000 in this room and I'm talking to people that hell has told you 481 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,520 lies. Hell is shown as deception. 482 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,880 But I've come to tell everybody in this room. 483 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,800 I don't know what Hell's been telling some of you, but I'm 484 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,560 rising tonight on a Sunday night to inform you that everything 485 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,920 the devil has told you is a lie. The Kingdom that Satan has 486 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,040 built, the Kingdom that Satan is trying to build in some of your 487 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:53,600 minds, is fiction. It is often asked, what is the 488 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,360 difference between fiction and non fiction? 489 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,320 To put it as plainly as I can, fiction is based on imagination, 490 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,040 but non fiction is based on facts and reality. 491 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,800 And for that reason alone, I can boldly declare to this 492 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:13,120 congregation that everything hell has told you is a lie. 493 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:17,720 Those thoughts he's put in your mind, it's not based on facts. 494 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,760 It's not based on reality. He's building a Kingdom. 495 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,760 I wish somebody would get a hold of this right now. 496 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,880 I've come to expose the enemy. I've come to call the devil what 497 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,840 he is. He's a liar. 498 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:40,800 He's a liar. I've come to tear down the 499 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,240 facade. I've come to pull back the 500 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,080 curtain and remind you of what the devil is. 501 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,760 He's a liar and everything that comes from him. 502 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,200 I didn't come to play games tonight. 503 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,280 I've come to preach a prophetic word in this house and tell you 504 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,320 you can't believe everything you think because every thought's 505 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,520 not yours and every thought doesn't come from God. 506 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,960 Satan has a Kingdom because the Bible talks about it. 507 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,840 He has a Kingdom in the earth, is very much real, but the 508 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,679 Kingdom in your mind is not real. 509 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,440 It's a fictional Kingdom. You've got to remember that 510 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,880 there's three sources of thought from God, ourselves, and the 511 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:36,920 devil. And when the devil plants a 512 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,440 thought, you've just got to remind yourself everything that 513 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,440 comes from hell is a lie. Because he's not just a liar, He 514 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,400 is the father of all lies. Lies originate with him. 515 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,520 That's why Jesus looked at the Pharisees one day and he said, 516 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,440 you remind me of your father, the devil. 517 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,280 He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in 518 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,160 truth. When he speaks a liar, he speaks 519 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:06,400 of his own because he is a liar and the Father of all eyes. 520 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,040 I've come to sound an alarm in this house and tell you it's 521 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,800 time to cast down those thoughts. 522 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:16,720 It's time to take dominion over every lie of the enemy. 523 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:23,920 He's told some of you. You're not good enough. 524 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,280 Long enough. He's trying to convince some of 525 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,280 you that God doesn't love you. He's trying to tell others he'll 526 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,880 never forgive you. He's trying to tell some of us 527 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,600 you'll never recover and you'll never be used and you can't go 528 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,440 to heaven and your family won't be saved and your body won't be 529 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,000 healed and God won't give you a miracle. 530 00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:47,520 I rebuke that lie in this house. I rebuke that lie in Jesus name. 531 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,280 Name. I wish I had about 10 people 532 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,080 that got a hold of what the Holy Ghost is trying to say right 533 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,200 now. There's victory in the house, 534 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,040 there's victory in the house. You've got to take the thought 535 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:15,680 and cast it down. I'm talking about a lie that 536 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,400 says the church doesn't care about you. 537 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,680 I'm talking about a lie that says nobody loves you. 538 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,360 You're better off the enemy. He's a liar. 539 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,040 You're not a loser. You're not a failure. 540 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,360 You're not worthless. You're not. 541 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,920 Listen, you've got to cast it down. 542 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,000 You've got to pull down the Kingdom. 543 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:48,040 Why do you think people live in such oppression and such 544 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,600 depression all their life? It's because they bought into 545 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,960 the lie of the enemy. Well, Mama was like. 546 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,280 This. I'll be like this. 547 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:00,600 Well, Grand Mama was like this. I'll be like this. 548 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,080 I've come to tell you there is a Kingdom in the shroom that has 549 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,800 to be brought down, and I feel just like the walls of Jericho 550 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,600 begin to fall. There's some walls of the enemy 551 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,640 that he's built up. It's about to fall in this house 552 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,280 because you're about to realize he's a liar. 553 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,680 Everything that comes from him is not true. 554 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:23,120 You've just got to choose which Kingdom is going to stand and 555 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:31,400 which Kingdom is going to fall. Why do you think the Bible has 556 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:36,280 so much to say about the mind? Thou will keep him in perfect 557 00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:40,840 peace. His mind, He stayed on thee. 558 00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:46,200 Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the 559 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:51,840 renewing of your mind. Finally, brethren, whatsoever 560 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:57,440 things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever 561 00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,960 things are just pure lovely of good report. 562 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:05,240 If there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think all of 563 00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:10,360 these things. I'll tell you what you need to 564 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,880 think about. You need to think about things 565 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,280 that are true. You need to think about things 566 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,760 that are honest. You need to think about those 567 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,360 things that are pure and lovely. And there's just going to be 568 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,840 times that we've all got to remind ourself that I am a child 569 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:29,760 of God and God does love me and He does love me enough to give 570 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,680 me His Spirit. And He does have a plan for my 571 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,320 life. And I do fit into the church. 572 00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:39,600 And I am more than a conqueror and I am an overcomer. 573 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,840 I'm going to be the head and not the tail. 574 00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:44,160 I'm going to be above and not beneath. 575 00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:48,320 He's going to bless my going out and my coming in. 576 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:55,440 If it's true, that's what you've got to think on, because if you 577 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,760 change the way you think, you'll change the way you talk. 578 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:03,960 Stop thinking and dwell on what the. 579 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,480 Enemy's told you. And it's time to start walking 580 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,840 and believe in what God says about you. 581 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,280 For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the 582 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,480 Lord. Thoughts of peace and not of 583 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,960 evil, to give you an expected end. 584 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,200 I know the thoughts that I have towards you. 585 00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:30,600 I say it's time that we If God has good thoughts toward us, 586 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,400 it's time for me to have good thoughts toward myself, He said. 587 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,240 I want to give you an expected end. 588 00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:42,400 God says everything's going to be all right, and at some point 589 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,280 I've got to believe it for myself. 590 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:48,960 If God has an expected end for me, I want to be a part of it. 591 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,080 I just have to tear down the Kingdom. 592 00:39:54,520 --> 00:40:02,600 That the enemy is built. Do you think if the devil could 593 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,680 have really done what he. Told job he was going to do, he 594 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:06,560 would have just. Done it. 595 00:40:12,900 --> 00:40:17,740 Here's the thing about the story of Job the Devil gave him. 596 00:40:20,140 --> 00:40:21,700 I'm talking to somebody right now. 597 00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:25,260 The enemy's told you, you're not going to pull through the enemy. 598 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,840 You're not going to be saved. If that was true, he would just 599 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,080 do it. I wish somebody in this room 600 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:40,400 right now, I wish there was about 10 others that believed 601 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,760 it. Everything he's telling you is a 602 00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,960 lie. If he could have killed you, he 603 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,040 would have already done it. If he was going to destroy you, 604 00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:56,880 he would have already done it. Come on, I feel the holy you're 605 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,360 trying to get in this house right now. 606 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,200 I wish somebody would tear it down and say I believe the lie 607 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,080 long enough. I bought into the lie long 608 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,280 enough. If he could have done it, he 609 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:22,360 would have already done it. Somebody ought to lift your 610 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,400 voice and say, my family's coming out of this. 611 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,760 Somebody ought to lift your voice and say, I'm not going to 612 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,040 live like this another day. If hell could have killed me, he 613 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,240 would have already done it. But if he says I'm not going to 614 00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:44,000 make it, it's a lie. I've come to rebuke that lie 615 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,560 that says you can't have revival. 616 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,200 I've come to rebuke that lie that says you can't have a 617 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,600 harvest. I've come to rebuke that lie 618 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,920 that says the church can't grow everything that comes from the 619 00:41:55,040 --> 00:42:00,680 enemy. Come on. 620 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,000 Those about 5 of you ought to step out right now. 621 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,200 You ought to come out of your seats and say the lie. 622 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,280 Stop now. The kingdom's being torn down 623 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:34,950 now. Come on every how things got to 624 00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:37,510 come down. You've got to cast down every 625 00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:40,030 imagination. You've got to pull down the 626 00:42:40,030 --> 00:42:42,350 stronghold. You've got to pull down 627 00:42:42,350 --> 00:42:47,230 everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. 628 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,600 I'm done preaching. If you're tired of the enemy 629 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:09,080 lying, if you're tired of the lies, it's time to step out. 630 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,440 Right now by faith and say it's going to come down today. 631 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:21,680 Come on, I know there's more than just two or three because I 632 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,360 know the thoughts I have towards you, saith the Lord. 633 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,160 Thoughts of peace and not of evil. 634 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,680 It's time to look at our self the way God looks at us. 635 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,600 It's time to see ourself the way God sees us. 636 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:59,150 Come on, don't resist what the Holy Ghost 637 00:43:59,150 --> 00:44:02,120 trying to do right now. Don't resist what the Holy Ghost 638 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,600 is trying to do. It's time to let the Holy Ghost 639 00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,240 come in this room. It's time to let the Spirit of 640 00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:11,960 God tear down every wall, tear down every lie, and tear down 641 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:37,420 every spirit of deception. Come on, there's some. 642 00:44:37,420 --> 00:44:39,460 Young people in this house, you need to tune out what the 643 00:44:39,460 --> 00:44:42,800 enemy's been trying to tell you. You need to turn a deaf ear to 644 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,720 everything. Hail's trying to whisper in your 645 00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:48,200 ear, telling you you're not worthless, telling you you might 646 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,000 as well just quit the church, tell you there's no future in 647 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,560 living for God. You need to turn a deaf ear to 648 00:44:53,600 --> 00:45:14,350 it now. Hikata La La Bo Yoko shota. 649 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:29,770 I. This is what we're going to do. 650 00:46:29,770 --> 00:46:31,050 They're. About to sing whatever they feel 651 00:46:31,050 --> 00:46:38,850 to do. Brother McGee, he takes 39 652 00:46:38,850 --> 00:46:46,720 stripes for our healing. He sheds blood for the body, and 653 00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:50,480 then he sheds blood on Calvary for our spirit. 654 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,800 But. Can I tell you he shed blood 1/3 655 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:58,000 time? It's when a crown of thorns was 656 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:03,760 pushed down in his brow. It's almost like the Lord. 657 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,280 Says I'm not leaving this. Earth until I shed blood for the 658 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:19,160 body, the spirit, and your mind how many times do we plead the 659 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,240 blood for God to heal us because the. 660 00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:29,400 Healing's in the Atonement. He shed blood for you to be 661 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:35,400 healed, but he also shed blood for us to be saved at Calvary. 662 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,160 But I'm telling. You he also shed blood so we 663 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,880 could have victory. Over our mind. 664 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,960 Back Why do you think Golgotha means the? 665 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:56,960 Place of the skull. If you looked out at Jeremiah's 666 00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,400 grotto, it literally looked like a skull. 667 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,720 Because of all the caves and everything that had been 668 00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:06,000 excavated out of that hill. Well, Brother McGee, what's 669 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:10,920 amazing to me is that when you looked at Calvary's heel and saw 670 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:15,840 that skull, there was a cross. Right in the middle of it. 671 00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,040 Because he. Said I'm going to shed blood. 672 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:27,160 For every. Aspect of your life I. 673 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,920 Wonder right now if we all could just put our hands on our head. 674 00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,440 They're about to sing, do whatever they feel to do. 675 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,840 But I think we ought to take dominion. 676 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:45,760 Right now, over our thoughts, we ought to take dominion over 677 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,680 every thought. That comes into our mind.
