Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.
Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.
Now enjoy this message. Look at Judges chapter 3.
Remember we just recently read judges 1 through 6, we're going
to look at Judges chapter 3. The Lord put this in my spirit
this morning and I want to be able to deliver this word to
you. Now, these are the Nations which
the Lord Left. To test Israel by them.
That is all who had not experienced any of the wars of
Canaan, only in order that the generations of the sons of
Israel might be taught War those who had not experienced it
formally. These nations are the five Lords
of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and all these
individuals. And rest of this verse verse 4,
they were for testing Israel. To find out to find out to find
out what Here to find out. If they would obey the commands
of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers through
Moses. All right, now to read that
verse all by itself. You understand, you could draw
some conclusions. Okay?
One conclusion, we could draw and it would stay in keeping
with this context. So we're going to put it in
context is that at the end of the day you need to have your
own faith battles. I was just recently talking with
a pastor who is about to transition to become the leader,
senior. Pastor of the church, they are
an associate and they've been an associate for about two decades.
And the senior, pastor is transitioning the church to
them. Now, during this transition,
there's quite a bit of conversation going on and
they're receiving and a lot of transition that's happening
right now in our nation because there are Church Planters, these
are people who have planted or pioneered, these works are now
hearing God to transition to work to someone else in their
flock. Whether it be, you know, their
own child, a son, or someone else they've raised up, as a
spiritual son or daughter, whatever the case may be,
they're transitioning the ministry to them.
Now how they develop them, and how they themselves, Selves
functioned is it exactly the same of what they're handing
off. What do I mean by that?
I know of two particular specific ones where the senior
pastor has paid off all the land, all the building,
everything is paid for and they're transitioning to the
next one. So this new senior, pastor has
everything paid for sounds great.
Well, what are you going to leave for?
Because the danger of this at this juncture, is that what are
we believing for you? Hand off the church to someone
who doesn't have to believe but only can maintain And God never
called us to live by maintenance.
But to live by faith. And now if that new pastor, if
the other one stays around, are still connected with the
ministry starts to do some crazy stuff.
Like, call those things that be not as though they were start
jumping into projects that are beyond the account.
How's the founding Pastor number one going to respond?
Well, I gave it to you. Didn't have any debt.
Well, you went through debt and one.
I should be able to go through something and win.
It, we do a disservice when we try as parents are in business
or in Ministry, to make sure everything.
So prepared for the Next Generation that they get to come
and do nothing. I'm seeing this now, I didn't
really have a whole lot on the subject, you know, because I
have no plans of transitioning. Now, when I say that, I mean I
have no plans. I don't have a plan, can I just
be honest with you, I don't have a plan of, you know, in the next
10 years. I'm going to be turning this
over. I don't have that plan.
I only have one plan, follow God and whatever he says, I'm going
to do. That's my plan.
Okay, retirement is not even thought part of my vocabulary,
because I'm going to do this, do whatever.
He's calling me to do forever. Until I'm caught up together
with him because I'm getting confident that I'm Gonna Change
in the moment in the twinkling of an eye.
I believe I'm in that generation more than ever, okay?
Now if I leave my skin suit, you know, and somebody Bears me so
be it, whatever. I'll still be present with the
Lord, but I much rather have the in a moment in the twinkling of
an eye. And I'm just going to believe,
God continue to believe for that.
But the point is that I'm not planning to have this big plan
that in the next 15 years. I'm going to hand this over to
someone because, you know, we got to think like this like
corporations. and so there's a lot of this, you know, in the
camps that I'm in about transitions, You know what's
your transition? What's your plan for the next
person? Well, my plan is to do it.
Like God wants me to do in my way.
May not be your way but I'm not just trying to plan it.
And I realize that they are working very diligent.
These pioneering pastors to make sure that when they handed over
it so good. But I'm like, what are they
believing for? Now you're going to have
challenges with people. I don't care what Pastor you are
the minute you step in people are problems because part,
people have problems, now they can overcome.
That's no big deal. It's just that you're going to
have some conflict with that, but that's not the only life of
Faith. Pastors are to live.
Pastors are to have influence take territory in a community.
And I'm not talking about the stolidly, I'm talking about a
pastor, they should have influence in their community,
and there should be things that they're living by faith.
They're calling those things that be not as though they were
something beyond their capacity and capability.
And so, I'm concerned that we're getting, these pastors are
getting so prepared naturally to hand things off that they maybe
quibbling, the next one from being able to live a life of
faith and do something especially if they maintain, you
know, an Apostolic or some kind of Bishop oversight to where
they can still make a decision and then they would come back to
all now. We're not going to do that now,
you've really hindered the pastor because who's running the
church, Are you hearing me? So here we see in judges that,
we have a transition happening. That a generation has finally
come into the promised land, and they are to take territory.
Okay? Now, this generation looks
different than the generation who had died out and they died
out because why why do they die out?
They were disobedient. Stubborn stiff neck, hard of
heart is the only reason they didn't get in.
It wasn't because God wanted this generation to have
something the other one couldn't have It was it because they were
disobedient and so they died in the wilderness.
But yet, they knew War because they have fought now.
This next Generation comes up and they've not they've not
really fought any at all until they get into the Promised Land.
And now that they are taking possession and Gideon homes,
they didn't build any kind of Vineyards, they didn't you know
plant. Now they have they have a
generation underneath them that by All rights would have nothing
to conquer. Are you hearing me?
Okay, so then is the Lord leaving these for that alone.
No. He's leaving them because of
what they didn't do in the first couple of chapters.
Are you hearing me, if we go back to Judges, chapter 2 verse
1. It says that this way.
Now the angel of the Lord came up to Guild guide to this place
and he said, I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into
the land, which I swore to your father's and said I will never,
I will what never break my Covenant with you.
And as for you, you shall make what?
No, Covenant with the inhabitants of this land.
You shall tear down their altars but you have what?
You have not obeyed me. What is this?
You have done.
Therefore I also say I will not Drive them out before you.
But they will become as what thorns in your sides.
And their gods will be a snare to you when the angel of the
Lord spoke these things to all the sons of Israel.
The people lifted up their voices and what and wept.
So when we read chapter 3 and we say that the Lord's not doing
this to test them, the reason he's having to do this is
because they've already failed a test When you fail a test, you
get retested, you do not go on. I like some of our Public School
Systems in our nation. You don't get to advance to the
next grade. You don't get to go past, go,
you have to retest and your retest and you may retest your
whole life. Until you pass the test.
God is not like some of our systems where, you know, they
let you go. He's like I've already given you
the answer. So you have to do it.
If you won't do it, then we're going to sit right here and test
you again, amen. So go back to the judges one in
judges one, we begin to pick up how this happened.
It says, now the Lord was with Judith, the tribes went into the
promised land to what take possession, all right, now we're
going to talk about Judah and them taking their possession.
It says, now, the Lord was with Judah and they took possession
of the Hill Country, but they could, what not drive out the
inhabitants of the valley because they had what.
And when I read that, I thought, well, that's something wrong
with that. Which means it cannot be how it
reads in English. That they could not drive them
out, it must be different. So, in order to help us out,
let's go back a little bit and let's look at a few things in
numbers. 22 are 26, verse 22. This is after the plague has
come. This is later in the life of
Israel because at at the beginning of numbers, you get a
count of how many are in the tribe of Judah and over 186
thousand people just in Judah alone.
Okay, just in Judo long but we've had some people die out.
I said we've had some people die out.
So these are the last numbers we get about tribes in numbers, 26,
prior to going into the promised land there.
These are the families of Judah, the families now.
So these are not individual numbers.
These are families of Judah according to those who were
numbered of them, how many were there a family's 76530?
People, then there was this other family.
It's the number and verse 34. The same Chapter says, these are
the families I'm and anza's. And those who were numbered of
them were fifty two thousand seven hundred.
Now, Bonanza is as high as is par is part of the tribe of
Joseph. Joseph had two boys.
Okay had two boys. Alright jump over to numbers
26:37. This is the other half of Joseph
tribe. These are the families of the
sons of hit this one Ephram according to those who were
numbered, there were thirty two thousand, five hundred.
So between These two tribes totally we have 83 85 thousand
two hundred which is just a few thousand more than the whole
tribe of Judah. But here's what you have to
remember in Joshua 8:40. It says the sons of Reuben, the
sons of Gat and half the tribe of bonanzas return home.
Why cause they got an inheritance on the other side of
the Jordan? So, half of the tribe of
Manasseh, says not even in the Promised Land. so you take this
fifty two thousand seven hundred, cut it in half, add it
to the other tribe and you have I mean almost you know less You
know, excuse about 10,000 less than the whole tribe of Judah.
You said know, why is this important?
Well, let me bring this to your remembrance, turn over to
Joshua, 17 and Joshua 17 when they're going into.
Cause a whole book of Joshua was about them.
Taking territory right there, taking territory, taking
territory. It says in the sons of Joseph,
now, this is a half. This is a tribe of Right the
tribe of Joseph, these are both of those tribes that says the
Hill. Country is not enough for us and
all the Canaanites who live in the valley land have Chariots
of, what Wright says those who are in these places are in these
top, try towns or those in the valley of Jezreel, says, Joshua
spoke to the house of Joseph. To both of them.
Say now, listen, you are a numerous people Are you hear me
and have what great power? You shall?
Not only have one lot, you shall not have only one lat.
One Lie. Only.
But the Hill Country shall be yours for though.
It is a forest. You shall clear it and it to its
furthest borders shall be yours for.
Look at this. Now, you shall drive out the
Canaanites even though they have Chariots of my iron and though
they are strong. So Judah who has the same
Manpower. Says, they could not drive out
because they had Chariots of iron when Joshua says, I don't
care what the have, you can drive them out.
So that tells us that Judah just chose.
Not. To drive them out.
See, this is the problem with the fight of faith, and I know
this all too. Well, I know this all too, well,
because we came to this particular location where I
fought the good fight of Faith as a pastor, to plant, a church
period, to come to a community. That didn't even want me, didn't
know, I was here. When I say that want me, I mean,
no one was like, hey, we want a church.
We have a group of people please come.
Okay. I mean, you want to meet, you
didn't know it at the time, okay?
But I'm just saying I Have a job with a salary.
It's amazing. Some pastors today, man.
They can't get up move anywhere unless they have a salary.
Well I love to come work with you.
Can you pay me? Well you're going to be broke
then if I'm paying you because if you don't realize, this is
supposed to be done unto the Lord, man.
All I'll ever be to you as a paycheck.
You need to come by faith. So by faith, we showed up and by
faith, we raise $1600 a month just to be in a school.
Then in three years, we leapt over to another building,
believe God for it and that became ten thousand dollars a
month. Plus, we had to remodel it plus
we had to pay electric. Plus we had to play water.
Plus we had to pay. Everybody's toilet paper on
board people. You sure did use toilet paper.
I didn't know how much toilet paper we used in the school
cause they didn't. Let us know.
But now I know when I was buying it myself and paper towels, this
is why people go to those machines on the walls.
I personally still like the paper towels, but with that
being said, we jumped in faith, then this opportunity came and
we jumped over here, same price of months, just more square
footage is still on a building, then we got stuck in two
locations but then we got here and all of a sudden the church
grew and everything and financially we were cruising But
God says, it's time to buy. So, we raise money for five
years. Well, you understand, we went
from what we were paying a month to a totally different number.
We bought them all. Now, I'll be honest with you.
We had already conquered st. Augustine by coming in, planting
a church and being in a school. Then we went and Conquer some
new territory and got settled in one location to set us up tear
down. And we were growing and
building. Then we came here and we turned
this place around and we release them, but we were growing making
influence doing all kinds of things.
And I could have said, wow, I don't know that.
I want to take another piece of territory.
Maybe I'll just keep leasing well have the same building
anyway. But it takes another level of
Faith to go and say, well will conquer that, too.
That's a different battle. And so when it came to that
time, make no mistake about it. I was going to, the Lord said,
my Lord, just talk to me. Tell me again.
I just want to hear your voice knowing that I'm going, because,
you know what I mean? It's comfortable.
But I didn't come to the Earth to be comfortable.
I came to the Earth to conquer because that's why you came to
the Earth. Jesus didn't come to be
comfortable when he came to the Earth, he came to conquer so
that you could come. After so that we can live
Victorious, until we are present with him and then working with
him face-to-face for all eternity, they live.
So I did it judah's already, they've already been conquering
land, they've been doing certain stuff.
In fact, the Lord even said, listen, I can't give you
everything in the promised land because if we're out at
everybody in a short amount of time, the wild beasts alone with
starting to conquer you guys as a nation.
So having some of them in the land actually help with the the
wild beasts that were out there to help keep that population
down. So it doesn't overtake the
humans. But God never intended for them
to side with them compromise with them, begin to trade with
them. And when I say trade, I'm
talking merry with them. Pull their gods in.
He never intended. So we get to this place in
Judges chapter 1 where all of a sudden we're seeing people
aren't doing what God called them to do.
Look at judges, 1:21 says, but the sons of Benjamin and other
tribe did not drive out the Jesuit B who were in Jerusalem.
And so what happened? They lived among the sons of
Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day, Jude verse 27, but bonanzas
did not take possession of these Villages at all.
Right? So, the Canaanites persisted in
that living, in that land, it came when Israel became strong.
What did they do? They end up putting these guys
to forced labor but they did not drive them out.
Completely, in essence, you know what?
It was good that we kept them around because now they weren't
for us. Then the other half of Joseph
tribe did not drive out the Canaanites that were living in
these locations. And then this next tribe verse
30 didn't drive out the inhabitants and they made them
subject to forced labor verse 31.
A sure did not drive out the inhabitants either of all these
places, right? And they began to live among
them cuz they didn't drive them out.
Then in verse 33, another tribe doesn't drive out the
inhabitants. They're all here.
They're just keeping the morale. Yeah.
The Lord said drive them out, drive them out, drive them out
verse 34. Then the amorites force, the
sons of Dan, Into the Hill Country for they did not allow
them to come down to the valley. Yet, the MRIs persistent living
in this particular place, but when the power of the House of
Joseph grew, they then ended up becoming forced labor.
So, they have all these try. Still in a nation that God says,
get rid of them. Get rid of them.
Now here's the crazy thing. Can we live in a society we live
in a world today that everybody thinks they know what's best and
then they think they want to take people's calls up but you
know God who is the only righteous judge.
The only and he knows the hearts of all men, he knows whether a
people are going to turn it on and he knows when the sins of
the people are at such a place that he will dispossess them.
Which means a different people group is going to come and do
the Lord's work and move them out.
Now, if you're just a human and you see it, you will look at it
from a different lens. Treat it, as if they an
injustice, has happened treated as if something wrong has taken
place. This file is not popular but it
doesn't matter because God's taking the planet anyway.
And if you don't get it in your mind, that there's only two
groups of people on the planet. Those that are outside of God's
kingdom, and those that are inside of God's kingdom, those
that are outside of God's kingdom of other of every tribe
tongue and nation. And those that are in God's
kingdom of a are of every tongue.
Tribe and Nation, they equal. Ali on the outside.
Look the same. But what makes them different?
It's what's on the inside? That makes them different, which
means, then this inside, believer can identify with
someone who's an unbeliever, but I externally, they look alike.
Don't want to hear that fine, we find ourselves giving calls this
for people and we call ancestry. When we don't even go back, far
enough in our ancestry tree. because if you're traveling, go
all the way back to a narc. And then once you hit the art,
take a right and find yourself in a garden.
Because you quibble yourself just stop at a nation.
And the enemy will deceived you and thinking you're doing
something right. But if we want to talk about
people groups done wrong, let me tell you who's done wrong, all
of us for all have sinned, well what what color of people have
sinned, white people, black people, blue people, green
people, purple people, I don't care what color you are.
You've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Amen. Now I if there's one color
Dominic globally, guess what? They probably said, more than
everybody else. I would agree with that.
But at the end of the day, all can be redeemed if they choose
to, and God has used a nation of Israel that all were in the same
color, some were darker than others but they would go in and
Route Nations because of ungodliness.
The thing is, is we take calls for people when God's life, you
don't understand, I don't want you around.
Influence of sin. In that dispensation of the Old
Testament, he was like, I don't want it around you.
You need to get it out of the cap because there's nothing in
your nature that can resist it. Because there's no one in this
room or to the sound of my voice.
It's going to stand before our holy God one day and say you did
those people wrong. I'm going to be there on that
day. I said I'm going to be there on
that day. I'm gonna be watching from
behind the banister because I will have gone through the great
white or the Judgment seat of Christ.
I'll be watching the great white Throne judgment and when they
bring that argument up, I'll be glad when the Lord says really,
let me show you the sin. Of that Nation.
You want to talk to me about righteousness?
No, you were defending the devil, you were defending their
practices, you are glorifying in their practices and you put
yourself up as God over me. As God over me.
The church should be the most unified organization on the
planet. and it will never be organized if we don't get real
about our conversation biblically speaking and get rid
of our carnality because if you don't start driving out race in
your theology and actually pull on Grace, Then you're always
going to look like man and respond.
Like man, who looks at the outward appearance.
Hallelujah. Are you hearing me?
So, we have a challenge here, we have an issue that these
individuals are not driving out those that were there.
In essence, they just lived with it.
Now here's the thing, I'm going to show you the type and Shadow.
I understand this is old Covenant, we live in a New
Covenant so houses applicable today, the Lord's going to let
you know first and foremost. God says this is my Covenant
Nation. These are my people, they are
wholly separated from the world. In fact he told Moses and I
listen if these people are just obey what I say, I'll make them
the head and not the tail. They'll be above and not
beneath, whatever they put their hand to is going to prosper.
I mean, everything in the The realm of Agriculture is going to
be blessed multiplied, even the fruit of their womb, I mean all
the other nations of the world are going to say.
My gosh, who is your god? That you are so blessed that you
have dis that this is happening with you.
That it would have been a sign to the world that all their
idolatry. All their made-up, fake
gold-laced, silver covered Idols were nothing compared to God
Almighty, that's all he needed. Was the nation to do this. but
instead, the Covenant people came in and began to hold an
idle Begin to say well, you know, we going to make it, you
know, this is going to be our monster, celebrate your nation.
Your traditions. So we're going to do, we're
going to celebrate you while the Lord's up there saying, what is
going on? And here's the thing about God,
he told Abraham, it's like you got to read your Bible.
So I, he told Abraham, he said, Abraham, he took him showed him
the land, that all these people are possessive.
He says he all this you see there's people here, right?
He said, I'll listen Your people going to go to Egypt and then
they're going to get in slavery, but I'm going to deliver them at
400 years. And then I'm gonna bring it back
to this land. This is going to become.
There's why? Because the sins of the amorites
have not come to its fullness which means all the time.
He's like, you can turn, you can change and be different or
you're not. Okay?
Because this, my Earth. This is my territory.
You don't actually own this and what you're doing on this
property. I'm not going to have it anymore
and I'm gonna bring a people in here that will you know, that
plan has not changed from God. He put a man in the earth called
Adam. Gave him a help me call deeds,
and they were to keep the environment of the earth to only
glorify God that no sin will be a part of it.
You know what, God's going to keep that.
Because in the end he's going to burn it all off.
They'll be a new Heaven and a new Earth and on the new Earth.
Is going to be the kings of the king, which means no sin of
being the planet. Why?
Cause he's like, it's my Earth. And I'm not going to have people
on the planet that are going to be ungodly, unrighteous that are
going to be living for themselves, worshiping things
other than me, I will eradicate all of them.
Although I've made provision for all of them to get in my family,
but if they resist and they're stubborn and stiff neck, love
will cast them into Into the Lake of Fire and they will be
there forever, but all that will remain is the righteous.
And the whole planet will be populated with us.
I said, the whole planet will be populated God during his
tribulation is. Let them know.
I'm laying a foundation for dispossession.
I'm kicking everyone out. That's not a part of my kingdom.
Because the Bible is about a king, his kingdom.
In his role offspring, God's original intent was never to
colonize. His intent was just to make
everything righteous and perfect.
But a being fell from heaven and then a man fell in the garden.
And God, then how to start a re colonization program to bring
righteousness. Yeah, that's not a popular word
today and you understand when man's involved without God, it's
not good because man's evil but when God's involved with man is
righteous This is gonna go over. Well that's great.
Remember the Lord had me this in my dream so receive it or not,
that's fine. Amen.
How does this apply today? Revelations 15.
And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness.
The firstborn of the Dead, the ruler of the kings of the earth
to him, who loves us and released us from our sins, how
by his blood, you know, you've been bought with a price, you
know, God said, let us make man in our image, according to our
likeness, in Genesis chapter 2, said he formed man of the Dust
of the property. That's land.
Breathe into his nostrils, the Breath of Life, all of you, the
Bible calls you an Earthly tent. We were never designed to go
back to dust but because Adam fell we had to go back and us.
So when Jesus purchase you, he actually purchased a piece of
property. A piece of property that he
doesn't want send to be on that's why he evicted your old
spirits. That's why he came in and says
with the Holy Ghost, you've got to go, you're dead, you who are
dead in your trespasses and sin. You're out of here.
I'm putting a new creature in Christ in this suit and I'm
moving the Holy Ghost in with it.
Hallelujah. That's no different than God
bringing the Israelites across the Jordan River into the
promised land. Conquering Jericho concrete AI.
Conquering town, after town, after Town Hall.
Covenant people that says these are my people and this is the
land that I swore to them. It's their property.
And the rest of you, you've got to go You've got to go because
your unrighteous. Let me tell you how righteous
God is. But you think man?
God, so wrong, is he wrong? Because once some spies went out
into Jericho, they come to a harlots house.
And she was an inhabitant. Sal righteous God is, and he,
she shows up. She says, guys, we've heard
about y'all, What you did, what God did with you all through
Egypt which means the testimony of God's power has already hit
the Promised Land. What could have happened is what
did happen with Rahab. Because when Rahab found them,
she says, listen. I know you're taking it.
Can I just be with you guys? I want to follow.
Your God, your God is the god. They said, well because you've
been good with us. if you'll put this Scarlet, you know,
handkerchief outside your window when we come whoever's in your
house will spare and Rahab one or family and those were the
inhabitants. But why weren't they destroyed?
Because they repented, which tells us the Revelation Rahab.
Had the whole Promised Land could have had and they all
could have went to the Jordan crossed over and says, Israel.
We know about your God and we know what he's did through you
to Egypt. Come on in.
We want to worship your God. But they didn't.
Rahab did not have some special treatment.
Then the rest of them, she'd received Revelation and
repented. And if those all those Nations,
they dispossess would have repented, then God would not
have had to over throw them. But the Lord bald us, he drove
out that spirit that was dead. Whose Daddy was the devil that
kept us in bondage. Come on.
Are you hearing what I'm saying? He bought and paid for us with a
price but once we get born again and we now are in Covenant with
God in his Spirit Bears witness with our spirit that we are
children of God, then we get baptized in the spirit if you'll
go that far and allow God to baptize you with his Spirit,
where you'll speaking evidence with evidence of an unknown
tongue, you would receive the power.
Power of God. Now, there's nothing that you
can't conquer nothing. You are now more than a
conqueror because you are in Christ, you're alive to God.
God lives in you and his power as upon you.
So, when this take place, the Lord says, now that I have
possessed the land, is your job to drive out the flesh.
You got to drive it out. You cannot be toying with Leche.
That's why Galatians 2:20 says, I've been crucified with Christ
and it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me and the
life, which I Live. Now, in the flesh, meaning in
this skin suit, I live how by faith.
I follow the word of God. Whatever God says, I do, I live
by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for
me. So if you do not drive out the
flesh, it will become a thorn in your life.
God has empowered you made you a covenant child, a new creature
in Christ, in dues you with power which means now you have
the capacity To drive the flesh out of your mind, out of your
behavior out of your emotions, out of your thinking, out of
your action. You have the power.
God has given it to you now, you've got to go conquer.
If you do not drive out the flesh, you will fall victim to
this cycle. Defeat Victory, defeat Victory,
defeat all, we can say, this, oppression, Deliverance,
oppression, Deliverance. This is what that believer.
Looks like glory to God. Oh my God, it's so hard.
I'll go through so much. It's just so horrible.
I mean, everything's coming against me.
It's so hard. Would you pray for me?
Oh please. Oh my God, Victory.
Oh God. So good.
Oh my God. So horrible.
Roller coaster, Christian. Some Monday's that come to work
all excited. Some monies that come to work
like this because Sunday has real no effect on them.
See. If you don't drive out the
flesh, you will only develop a victim mentality because his, we
keep reading the judges. You get into four five and six.
You begin to realize because they would not obey God and will
not drive them out. They decided I've had enough
Faith victories. I'm not doing any more.
God's not done with you yet. Every year, he going to touch
something in your life. Say, drive that out.
Now, drive that out. Now, drive that out.
Now, drive that at some of y'all have been hanging out with
something, you should have drove out 10 years ago.
You've been playing around with it thinking, it don't affect,
you know, it affects you. It affects you.
It affects she kills. It affects your grandkids.
It affects your great grandkids, because you keep playing with
the flesh. Instead of driving it out.
And here's the thing, you can't. So, the sum of your Christian
existence is just about oh woe is me.
But God oh, I was broke. I was beat down.
I was no good luck y'all. And there's a wine in the but
God, no one. But God can.
But God does and he's done it. But man, I live more in the woe
is me than I do on the Hallelujah.
Just another term before the devil shows up.
Again, the only reason devil shows up because you keep a door
open. You got a back door.
To your land and open border. We could say you let him in
through your flesh because you won't drive it far from you.
You won't drive it. Far from you.
We've got to crucify the flesh. Crucify.
The flesh daily. The Bible says, crucify, your
flesh. Daily.
No, you're not coming back on this property.
No, you're not coming back now, I'm in Covenant with God.
You have no right here. You have no voice here.
You have no influence here. Not gonna do it because the
judges had to rise up because God had compassion, but he had
to wait for someone to cry out. All the while what are they
doing? If they will just obey me, we
can get out of this cycle. Well, go ahead and look at your
neighbor and say just obey. Now, some of y'all needed to
hear that. Like really hear that because
when you look at the other one, so some of y'all married your
life. I hope my spouse heard it.
But you should be listening because if you thought I hope my
wife hears that then you're the one who really needs to hear
that. Like, really need to hear that.
Just need obey. And you'll get out of the cycle.
See, the only reason why a person is in a cycle.
It's because they don't drive out the Flesh and they're in
disobedience. Anytime you yield to the flesh,
you start to yield to Disobedience.
You are yielding to Disobedience.
Look at Galatians chapter 5, verse 16 and 17 says this, but I
walk by the spirit. But I say walk by the spirit.
Now if you do this, this is conditional without an if But I
say walk by the spirit and you will not carry out the desires
of the flesh for the flesh sets is desire.
What against the spirit? And that's not a little s.
That's the big ass. That's the Holy Ghost.
The flesh comes in and says, you're not gonna die.
It's okay. If you do this.
Mine are attacking your people. Well, have you defined your
people correctly because Jesus defines your people.
I said Jesus to find your people.
He said, who is my mother? My brothers and sisters and
there was no qualification on color.
Our nation. He says, it's those who do the
will of my father. That's who my family is.
That's who my people is for the flesh sets, its desire, against
the spirit and the spirit, what against the flesh for they.
These are in opposition to one another so that you may may not
do the things that you please, in essence, the Lord's like I'm
gonna deliver them, make them a climate change, their Spirits
can be totally different brand, new only I can do that.
Then I'm going to put myself in now we going to colabor together
and they with me can drive out. I leave it there.
I leave it there so that they know how to fight.
You'll never have a faith battle outside your home.
If you can't win the face by a total within your mind, it's
amazing how many people want to get Faith projects.
And they can't even beat this. Can't keep that down.
Can't Crush their flesh. Can't overcome it.
Are you hearing me? Now again you could blow it.
Bible says a righteous man may fall seven times but he what get
up. Get up, he's get back up and
righteousness and abhorred W. Unrighteous the problem is, is
we don't act like the flesh is a big deal.
Well, you know what, I'm gonna make it serve me.
Well, you make your flesh served you.
Then you'll get the atmosphere to stay around you and
eventually courts you right back in.
You can't treat the flesh. Like it's something you can have
Hangout. That it's okay to be around you
and on your property. This is what the Lord knew about
the inhabitant. Listen, they will not repent.
Everyone is separated from me. Their hearts I have been for
hundreds of years I told your Covenant God Abraham hundreds of
years trying to get these people to change, but I got one woman
with her family. because the guys that showed up and deceive
Joshua, just wanted to spare their lives, they didn't want to
change their thinking or their behavior of their God, They came
with a sad story and this is how we get duped all the time.
Can we live by sight? Instead of my fat Faith?
They come and give us the sad story.
Oh look, here's, you know, our food.
It was brand-new out of him when we were coming.
Look at our clothes on tour, we have brand-new stuff on.
We showed, you know, I look at our Weiss all out, need the
neighbors. They just want to cross the
street. But because he didn't go to the
Lord and say, who in the world? Are these people, because you
said Drive, everybody out, and where are they from?
Because then they even had a little insight.
But again, because they weren't born of God.
They're like, how do we know you not like in the land, we
supposed to? Well, nah, look at our, here's
our evidence. And because the church is so
malnourished in the word. So he literate concerning
scripture is easy for the world through flesh to get money out
of your pocket. Church can't do this, but the
world can show you the sad stories of what's going on.
You'll all we got to help them. Maybe the Lord has been helping
them for hundreds of years and now they're just getting they're
reaping what they sold. I don't look at the world
through the lens of the news. I asked the Lord.
So what's going on in Turkey? Well, we have in earthquakes.
What I've been doing? Some going on there.
God hates it. When people die.
Don't like it at all. But people die.
And many died because their disobedient.
So, there's a lot of kids, a lot of innocent people get caught up
in people who are ungodly, that's what's sad.
Is it, if those, the devil's going after you Generations,
Let's look at this in the passion translation.
It says it this way, it says as you yield freely and fully to
the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will
abandon the Cravings of yourself life for yourself life crazy,
the things that offend the Holy Spirit I mean here we're not
want to offend people, but the Holy Ghost gets offended all the
time. Pastors are getting up in
pulpits preaching. All kind of feel good stuff but
we don't want to offend anyone. Don't want to tell them they're
in sin, so they might not run, you know, well gosh hate for him
to run and hate God because I called out their sin.
By the Holy Ghost is like, say this, I'm truth and only truth
can set them free and you're withholding it.
So what can set them? Free can't even set them free
because we're too concerned about how their flesh is going
to respond. Says yourself life.
Craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit and hinder him
from Living. What free within you then say it
keeps the Holy Ghost out. It just says it.
Hinders him from Living free, you can't live to your full
potential when you allow flesh to continue to hang out at your
borders. And you're not driving it out.
Drive it out. Looking at us.
That is horrible. That is against God.
This is ungodly. I'm not doing that.
I'm not acting. I'm not going to think that way.
I'm not going to respond that way.
I'm driving you out. And we drive them out the same
way. Israel drives them out is your
drove them out with a physical sword.
We drive it out with a spiritual sword, called the word of God.
No, it is written in. This is how I'm going to
respond, and I'm not going to respond your way.
So flesh, you're dead to me. I said your dad to me, it goes
on and says this and the holy spirit's intense Cravings hinder
yourself old self life from dominating you.
So then the two incompatible and conflicting forces within you
are yourself life of the Flesh and the new creation life of the
spirit. So we're in a world where not up
but God gave us conquering capacity, he said go ahead and
take Dominion just go ahead and take Dominion.
Everywhere you go take to me in first First, Take Dominion with
yourself, conquer yourself first, because when you conquer
yourself first, then there's nothing.
You can't conquer. Because God called us to
conquer. Romans 13:14 says, but put on
the Lord, Jesus Christ, put on the supreme authority, Jesus,
who is the king and make no provision.
Make no fervent me how a little maybe on Saturday night, you can
once a month. You can entertain it a little
make no provision for the Flesh. In regards to its lust.
Not going to do it. I'm not going to do it.
I'm not gonna do it.
You gotta get a tenacity in, you that will conquer this thing.
I'm not going to let the flesh when I'm a battle, it every day.
But every day it will bow, it will be defeated.
It will be dominated. It will not be a part of my
life. I will drive it out, I'll drive
it out. And by the end of the day, I'll
be like if you even I show up tomorrow and I know you're going
to try, but the same things coming.
I'm gonna route you, I'm gonna beat you.
I'm gonna conquer you. I'm gonna overcome you, you'll
never stop me. You'll never defeat me.
You'll never have another day of my life.
Another thought process to me. I've cast it out.
I'll kick it down. I'll bust your teeth out.
You have no Authority here because I'm the child of the
king. I've been redeemed, I've been
bought with a price, this is Kings property right here.
This is Kings property. And the only reason why this
nation would never fully conquer the promised land and it will
require crazy, but it will require Jesus in his second
showing up. To take care of the land.
His first showing up was to give the Gentiles other, all the
other nations, the opportunity to get in.
And then to have his nature. Whoo, glory to God.
Amen. Where we could go ahead and
evict the old self out. You're out, you're gone, you're
dead, you're out of here. You're not a part of me.
No more. Amen.
And we live a free life Heaven life on the earth.
Even though sins around. We dominate how awesome is that
then he pulls us up for Tom, pours out his wrath, on the
earth says it's coming. I'm going to take everyone out
at a planet. That is not righteous.
You might want to side with my party, you might want to get in
my family. Then he'll show back up.
Put his foot down. Move into Jerusalem and he will
clean it up and then he'll start cleaning up the planet for a
thousand years. He'll begin to rule the whole
world and show, this is how it is.
This is your last dispensation to get in on this great deal.
Whoo, and when it's all said and done, there will be a new Heaven
and a new Earth. The New Jerusalem is going to
come down out of Heaven. Oh man, it's going to come to
the Earth and God the father is coming to the Earth.
You know, we're not going to live with God in heaven.
Well, God's coming here. You can go to heaven, but I plan
to be with the Lord and he's going to sit up his camp in
Jerusalem. With Jesus, the Lamb of God, the
king of kings, and then, he'll disperse us over the planet.
And we will only do his bidding. We will still be in obedience to
him, and it will only, it will be heaven on Earth as he always
intended with a group of people that only obey his voice.
Because in obeying his voice means you love him and
Wednesday. I will show you that you do not
want to miss it. Okay.
Romans 8:31 says this. What then shall we say to these
things if God is for us? Who can be against us?
So your flesh. How can it be against us when
God has for us? Jump down to verse 37?
Yet in all these things I'm going to break this verse down
on Wednesday yet in all these things, we are more than not
victims, I'm not a victim. I'm not a victim.
I'm a I have been victimized but I'm not a victim.
There was a time I was victimized, but once I became
the son of a king, I threw off victim and became Victor.
And I only see myself as a champion because that's how God
sees me. He only sees me as a champion,
he sees me only as more than a conqueror means, I can't lose a
battle when I'm with the Lord and if God's for me.
And I know he's for me, as long as I'm being led by a Spirits
because as long as I'm being led by a spirit, I'm not the filling
the lust of the flesh, which is hindering the movement of the
holy ghost in my life. Hallelujah.
God said that this is the year of the decree, some of you need
to look in the mirror and say I decree I concur useless daily
Not another day. Are you going to win for me?
So me and let me tell you what some of your flat come.
When I say flesh, you understand, we talked about
flesh. You know we tend to think you
know on the side of sin Darkness wrong things, you know, slime
cheating, you know, gossiping you know, stuff like that.
But let me go up to the to the dark side that looks like light
because the day ancient the devil will come as an angel of
as an angel of Light. But yet, he's darkness and
there's no light in No. Well, that's the religious.
Some of you haven't conquered your flesh because you're
religious with the word. Because you've spout the word
Without Love. And you try to hold people in
bondage to the word Without Love.
So, you need to say, I've conquered a flesh of being
religious. I'm going to be a doer of the
word. I'm going to be a doer of the
word. I'm going to let it change and
transform my thinking. Hallelujah.
Second Corinthians 2:14 says, but thanks be to God and I, we
could almost run me. The only thing that keeps you in
your seats, your flesh. But thanks be to God.
Who, always, who? What?
Who always? Who what leads us now?
That doesn't mean he does it. He leads us, which means he's
gone ahead. And we are to fight if he's
leading, then we must if he's leading, we must so he can be
out front. But unless we're following, we
won't have the victory. He has because there's a lot of
people who are in covenants, but they're not following God's on
how to defeat their flesh and he's already got the victory,
he's already caused the Triumph but we're not following it.
He's like don't talk to her like that.
At. And he's already led us.
And then we entertaining the flesh back here.
Yeah, but you know what? She just said to me.
Surely you going to let me defend myself?
Because the flesh is saying you should defend yourself.
Don't you put up with that? And the Lord's I want.
You just follow me out here to Victory.
I'll just follow me out here to Victory.
And you've got to choose to go. I said you've got to choose to
go, you've got to choose to go who always leads us, which means
there's no time ever. That you will not have a Pathway
to Victory, which means, there's always presented to every
believer, the pathway to an undefeated life.
Who always leads us in Triumph in Christ in Christ.
Victory only comes in the game. First Corinthians 5:17, the
passion says that this way says, but we thank God for giving us
the victory as conquerors through our lord, Jesus, the
anointed one, So what Israel didn't do is Israel didn't obey,
he says, go in. Get rid of everybody, get them
all out. I've done, I'm not asking you to
go into something. I have been dealing with this,
since since they started showing up on this property After the
flood. Can we just be real?
Since this thing started getting populated.
After the flood, I've been looking at every people group,
every nation. And during this sensation, I've
been letting myself known enough that they could turn and change.
So, I've been looking over this whole piece of property for
quite some time. I cut Covenant with a guy named
Abram told him, this was going to be our land because I might
have to show the world. What the nation is supposed to
look like through a group of people because I got a seed
coming. I have a seed coming.
And I've been looking for property and all these people do
is pollute, my land, they polluted with sin, they polluted
with the blood of children, babies.
They polluted with her debauchery.
They polluted with their sexual immorality.
They're polluting it constantly. My Invisible attributes called
nature, is enough to let them know I'm n'gaa.
Then, I've sent Messengers, ain't listening.
I mean who went over to Jericho when Israel came out of Egypt
who went It didn't have to be from the nation of Israel, it
had to be some eyewitness. Could have been somebody from
each other, man? I saw Pharaoh died with the
army, guys. I was there.
I was, you know what, I heard they're coming for y'all.
They're coming, they're coming for you.
Let me just tell you what they did us.
And that was enough for Rahab to say, I want that God, I want
their God and she came into the house Covenant family.
Come into the Covenant Nation. Got married to a person that
eventually was in the bloodline of Jesus.
A prostitute from Jericho is in the family tree of Jesus Christ.
The Messiah, don't talk to me about Gia God.
A just when he started dispossess The land.
He let one of them get into family tree with Jesus.
Wow. So you know, these people or in
a place of Lord says y'all gone. And he's the one who created the
people. Ain't nobody in the world
created another person, because even when you give birth, you
didn't do that app. Was designed by God.
So when God says, this isn't good for my people, he means
that and when he says the flesh isn't good for my people.
Why are you playing with? Why are you watching it?
Why are you entertaining? Today.
Many churches will not assemble. Because of a game tonight.
It's a form of worship. I'm not saying you can't watch
the game. I'm just saying when you shut
down Church, Because, you know, most people are going to only be
thinking about this game. Well, then you've allowed the
inhabitants of the land. This is why I didn't shut down
on Christmas. They supposed to be our day,
anyway. Well, we need family time.
I thought this was your family. I thought you had a family of
God. Because Santa ain't got Jack on
Jesus. He's an idol.
Anyway, I said he's an idol anyway, but we keep toying with
him. We keep telling our kids about
him every year. About what he's going to do for
them. No, we don't want to hear this
because we want our tradition of the land.
We don't want to offend When those I drive that stuff out.
I'm the one who died on the cross.
I'm the one that brings the presents.
I'm the one who provided. I'm the one that brought
everything. You just go ahead and tell him
the truth that you love them that you want to bless them that
you are providing for them and it came from me, Jesus.
Not some fat guy. Okay, fine.
Amen. Until we get real with things
that maintain Holiness in our lives.
Then you'll want to wonder why you keep getting conquered.
The nation. The Lord says I said I never
Break this government, but you've made a different cup.
So the Bible says in judges, the Lord just took a step back.
Says you love that way of living more than me have it?
You love that leadership, more than me, take it.
And when they got it, it was oppressive.
And then they started remembering the former days.
Then they cry out. The Lord says, I won't break my
Covenant. I just need somebody who will do
the work for me, so then he always found a judge.
Just as I believe God, I hear you Lord.
I'll do it. I will obey and then he
delivered when they were at peace as long as the person was
alive. But the minute they died they
were back to their flesh. fell victim again probably ninety
percent could be more than that are believers live victim
mentality. Their whole Christian existence
while in the planet because they don't know who they are in
Christ and they won't crucify their flesh.
They won't grow spiritually. I'll close with this verse first
John 4:4. You are from God.
And let's just get that relation you are from God.
Show me one time that Jesus Christ the son of God ever caved
to the flesh. Show me one time.
He was tempting all all the council, which means the flesh
was talking. But he conquered every Tom.
The concrete was not Que Sera, Sera.
Concrete was a lots of prayer. Yeah.
A life of knowing the word, Jesus knew the word.
He studied. When he said it is written as
not because it just came up, it was written because he read it.
He was a studier. of all that had been written in the law and
from the prophets, Now he did have spiritual Insight, I get
that he had the Holy Ghost, but he would recount things worth
forward. That had been pinned.
Because he would not let the flesh dominate him.
The flesh dominating, he's tainted.
Well he can't be tainted and now we're in Christ and you no
longer have to be tainted. You are from God little children
and have not will not, will have not, will have not, will have
not, will have not, will have, which means, before the flesh,
even starts talking, you're already seated in the position
of victory. You're on the throne of Triumph.
You're already there and have overcome them.
You are from God and have overcome them.
You are from God and have overcome, you are from God and
have overcome them. Why?
Because greater is he, who is in you than he, who is in the
world. He's greater, so you're a
greater. You're a conqueror.
The flesh must lie. Drop the flesh out.
I heard God say this morning. He said it requires a judge.
It requires someone who's already listening.
Who's sensitive to the voice of God.
That when people are in the cycle, they can deliver them.
And today, if you believe Pastor, I'm just going to be
honest, I'm in a cycle. I'm believe I'm in a cycle.
I believe I'm in a cycle. I have not driven it out.
Well, today, there's a deliverer and the deliverer is here for
one purpose, to drive it out. Just like the other delivers did
and then you take your stand from this moment on.
I'll never let it cross my territory again.
