1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:19,880 God is so here and He wants to do something new and He is doing something new in His church, 2 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,280 something new where we let the Spirit have His way. 3 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,840 It's just great to come into the church where there's no program. 4 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,560 Just, what does God want to do? 5 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,080 I'll tell you what He wants to do this morning. 6 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:47,360 I have this, when Nikki started to speak today, I just heard the expression, slamming the 7 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,440 door on fear. 8 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:58,320 That's what we're going to do today, God is going to slam the door on fear and anxiety. 9 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,320 You can be seated. 10 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,720 Hallelujah. 11 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,440 And I haven't got really a prepared sermon, I just scribbled a couple of notes, but this 12 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:13,020 is the best way when the Holy Spirit gives you a fresh word for the people in the morning, 13 00:01:13,020 --> 00:01:15,320 in the meeting. 14 00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:29,120 I want you to open your Bible though to Psalm 23 and I want to just talk about David here 15 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,120 and what God wants to do. 16 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:40,480 Some of us know this Psalm off my heart, oh God, send more rain, hallelujah, more rain 17 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,520 Lord, more rain. 18 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:48,480 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He makes me to lie down in green pastures, 19 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,480 He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul, He leads me in the path of righteousness 20 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,520 for His name's sake. 21 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:03,240 Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, 22 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,500 Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 23 00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,320 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil 24 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,200 that my cup runs over, surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my 25 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,240 life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. 26 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:21,240 I want us to focus on, yeah, I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 27 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,360 fear no evil for You are with me. 28 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,760 You know, I've heard the type of preaching that actually will say to you, you know, if 29 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,480 you're right with God, I sort of grew up around this preaching, if you're right with God, 30 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,840 you're not going to have too many challenges and you're not going to have too much drama 31 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:44,760 in your life because the sign that you're right with God is that all that stuff leaves 32 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,680 your life and it's a lie from the pit of hell. 33 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,680 It's kind of hyper prosperity. 34 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,160 This is God, all He's going to do is give you a good, comfortable life of blessing, 35 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,880 ease and comfort. 36 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,240 But you know, David is the portrait of a kingdom man. 37 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,480 Jesus called the son of David. 38 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:11,880 So if you want to know what a kingdom man or woman, but I'm not, you know how it is. 39 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,720 It's not, you know, this gender nonsense these days is just all rubbish. 40 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,320 But David is a portrait of a kingdom man, person. 41 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,040 You want to know what we're supposed to be able to look at the life of David. 42 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,480 He's flawed, but he's got a heart after God. 43 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,400 That's why he's a kingdom man. 44 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,080 But David knew his challenges. 45 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:39,240 David wrote this and there was many, many times where he was completely right with God. 46 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,080 This is, you can say, well, what about with Bathsheba? 47 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,760 This is even before he fell with Bathsheba. 48 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,040 He was completely right with God. 49 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,240 He was walking with God. 50 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,480 He was anointed by God. 51 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,520 He'd been used by God to pick great victories. 52 00:03:53,520 --> 00:04:00,680 Yet in his experience, God had led him to this place where Saul was trying to kill him 53 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:07,360 and almost daily for a season, he didn't know whether he was going to die today. 54 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,240 Like death was right there. 55 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,240 Death was just right with him. 56 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,280 And he goes, yeah, but I've learned something. 57 00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:25,640 Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, because death has shadows, 58 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:33,480 some people see them, he goes, I will not fear. 59 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,200 I will fear no evil for you are with me. 60 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:45,720 And see, it's very important because I believe we are entering a season where you and I are 61 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,440 going to face, I just believe, difficult times. 62 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,440 You know, there's wars. 63 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,680 There's even talks of, you know, this war that's going on, there's a good spread that 64 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,000 we could get sucked in. 65 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,880 And in the spirit, everybody knows, anyone who's a spiritual person knows in 2019, something 66 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,600 has changed in our world. 67 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:13,160 We're going to go from darkness to deep darkness because we're, I don't want to digress here, 68 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:19,440 but the season of grace is ending and the season of God's righteous judgment or tribulation 69 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,640 is beginning. 70 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,120 That's where we are on God's clock. 71 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,880 And so it's getting darker and it's getting darker. 72 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,680 And maybe there will be a nuclear war. 73 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,000 Maybe there will be, you know, we talk about shortages and there should be famine. 74 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,840 But when we speak about this, you got to be careful that that does not open the door to 75 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:41,200 a spirit of fear. 76 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:47,280 Now I want to tell you, it's a spirit of fear because 2 Timothy 1, 7 says, God has not given 77 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:53,200 us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. 78 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,760 Power, love and a sound mind. 79 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,120 So fear, it's not just in a negative emotion. 80 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:08,240 Fear is a spirit that wants to break into your house and take up residency in your heart. 81 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:16,320 And what it does when fear comes in, fear completely neutralizes and paralyzes. 82 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,360 You see that in John 20. 83 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,040 Jesus had given the disciples the command to go into the world. 84 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,040 He'd been with them. 85 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,120 He said, the Holy Spirit will be with you going into all the world. 86 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,680 But when Jesus was resurrected and came to them, they weren't in the world. 87 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:37,240 It says they were locked in a room for fear of the Jews. 88 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:43,480 They were paralyzed and neutralized. 89 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:54,640 You know, and fear will neutralize you from walking into God's destiny for you. 90 00:06:54,640 --> 00:07:02,960 If we don't know how to slam the door on fear, when it comes, you need to know how to slam 91 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,000 the door in its face. 92 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:12,760 See, fear, the way Satan works, faith comes, this is the way God works. 93 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,600 Faith comes from hearing, where does it come from? 94 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,760 From hearing the word. 95 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,240 Now faith is from God. 96 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,240 It's from the kingdom. 97 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,720 Satan is a counterfeiter. 98 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,000 Satan produces, not faith, he produces fear. 99 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,560 It's been said many, many times, fear is really faith in Satan. 100 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,400 It's kind of complex, but it's almost true. 101 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,280 But what, fear comes just the way faith comes. 102 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:49,160 Fear comes where you hear a negative word which is satanically inspired. 103 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,360 That's how fear gets in. 104 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,560 And you don't recognize it and you don't deal with it and you don't tear it down and you 105 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,520 don't use the weapons of war that you've been given. 106 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:04,160 That word could be, you're going broke. 107 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,600 You're going to die from this. 108 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,000 You'll never recover from this. 109 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,240 They'll never come, a child will never come back. 110 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,480 Your marriage is over. 111 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:21,440 You never get, these are the words that Satan speaks. 112 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:27,720 And when we agree with them, when we hear them and agree with them, it opens the door 113 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,480 to the spirit of fear. 114 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,160 And it's Satan's favorite tool is fear and intimidation. 115 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,480 You see this in Matthew chapter four. 116 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,200 Jesus, I've preached on this before, but I'll return to it. 117 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,160 Jesus says to the disciples, he gives them a promise. 118 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,200 He gives them a word. 119 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,200 It's a great word. 120 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,920 He says, I'm going to use you and I'm going to take you to bring deliverance to a man 121 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,960 who's on the other side. 122 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,920 This man was tormented and he was suffering. 123 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,840 He was demon possessed. 124 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:01,160 And Jesus said, you can see it in Mark chapter four, verse 35. 125 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:08,200 Jesus said, he said to them, let us cross over to the other side. 126 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,400 So they have the word of God. 127 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,120 They're going to the other side. 128 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,200 That's the word of Jesus. 129 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,440 But what happens when they start to move with that word, with the promise that God has, 130 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,600 he's going to use them with deliverance. 131 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,480 It says, Satan sent a storm. 132 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,760 There's storms that God sends to correct you. 133 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,640 Jonas was one of them, but there's demonic storms that Satan sends to stop you getting 134 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,740 to your destiny. 135 00:09:32,740 --> 00:09:34,840 And this was one of those. 136 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:43,040 And when they saw the storm, when the storm came, instead of speaking to the storm, as 137 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,400 Jesus was teaching them, they saw the storm. 138 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,040 It produced fear in their hearts. 139 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,760 And what did they do? 140 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,120 Jesus said, you're going over. 141 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,800 What did they say? 142 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,800 The very opposite. 143 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,280 They said, Jesus, don't you care? 144 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,280 We're going under. 145 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,360 And see, this is why Satan wants to put fear in you. 146 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:10,680 And this is how he works with fear, because Satan knows the power of the word and the 147 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:11,680 spoken word. 148 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:14,320 He knows the power of your confession. 149 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,580 And he wants you to prophesy against your own life. 150 00:10:19,580 --> 00:10:22,480 God gives you promises and they're prophesying against their own life. 151 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,840 The very opposite of what God said. 152 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,720 God has said, you're an overcomer. 153 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,480 That's his promise. 154 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,920 He says, no weapon formed against you will prosper. 155 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,440 That's what you should confess when weapons come. 156 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:43,520 But if we don't control fear, we end up prophesying death over our lives, death over our families, 157 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,520 death over our finances. 158 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,440 The exact opposite of what God says, because we believe in what we've heard from the devil 159 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,920 rather than what we've heard from God. 160 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,520 So it's very important. 161 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,360 You know, there's a man called... 162 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,360 We've got time. 163 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,720 Yeah, we've got time. 164 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,720 Lots of time. 165 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,720 It's raining. 166 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,160 There's a man called... 167 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,160 There's a man called... 168 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,760 I find this incredibly fascinating. 169 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,120 There's a man called Jeroboam in the Scriptures. 170 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,040 And this is just what... 171 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,760 It just indicates what a fear thought can do to you. 172 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:28,440 I've said many, many times, we are all going to experience scary things. 173 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:29,440 We are human. 174 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,440 We are going experiencing the emotion of being afraid. 175 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,940 But that's different to allowing fear to come in and determine your actions. 176 00:11:39,940 --> 00:11:43,400 Any action you do as a result of fear... 177 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,520 And by the way, in the church, that's often masqueraded as wisdom. 178 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,200 Oh yeah. 179 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,680 Fear action is often moderated as wisdom. 180 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:57,960 I remember when God told me to go to Pakistan. 181 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,760 I had pastors ring me and say, you shouldn't go. 182 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,760 This is like... 183 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,760 This is not right. 184 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,760 You know, this is a... 185 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,760 People weren't going in those days. 186 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,960 This is like a dangerous place and you go to church and all the rest of it. 187 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,480 And it sounded so wise. 188 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,480 But if you've heard from God, you've heard from God. 189 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,360 I've heard from God. 190 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:31,080 Any action you take as a result of cooperating with the emotion of fear will be destructive. 191 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,500 It will not lead you to where God wants to take you. 192 00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:35,500 Look at this man. 193 00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:38,120 This is quite incredible. 194 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,360 It's in 2 Kings chapter 11. 195 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,000 And sorry, I lie. 196 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,400 It's in 1 Kings chapter 11. 197 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,760 God says to this man, he says, Rehoboam is no good. 198 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,880 He's listened to the advice of young people and God's just had it with him. 199 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,360 He's Solomon's son. 200 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,180 And he says, I'm actually going to... 201 00:13:04,180 --> 00:13:08,560 This is where when Israel was all one tribe, one nation. 202 00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:13,520 He says, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and all 10 tribes and give 203 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,440 it to you, Jeroboam. 204 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040 He shall have one tribe for the sake of my servant. 205 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,760 This is Rehoboam. 206 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,160 For the sake of Jerusalem because they have forsaken me. 207 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:28,160 He goes on to say, verse 35, but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and give 208 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,800 it to you, 10 tribes. 209 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,880 And to his son, I will give one tribe that my servant David will always have a lamp before 210 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,880 me in Jerusalem. 211 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,280 But listen to this. 212 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:42,560 So I'll take you and you shall reign over all your heart's desires and you shall be 213 00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,360 king over Israel. 214 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,100 Then it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in my ways and do what is right 215 00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:53,080 in my sight to keep my statutes and command you. 216 00:13:53,080 --> 00:14:01,680 As my servant David did, I will be with you and build you an enduring house as I built 217 00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:05,520 for David and will give Israel to you. 218 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:06,520 This is incredible. 219 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,240 He had the same promise given to him of King David. 220 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,760 He had the promise that he would be just like King David. 221 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:20,680 He had the promise that God would give him and he would reign over everything he wanted, 222 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,840 his heart's desires. 223 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,920 What a promise. 224 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:32,000 That was God's plan for his life to be just like David, to extend the kingdom like David. 225 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,000 David was undefeated in every battle and whatever he desired, because God is a good God, God 226 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,200 wants to fulfill the desires of your heart, if you have a kingdom heart. 227 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,000 He wanted to do that. 228 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000 But what happened to this man? 229 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000 I'll tell you what happened. 230 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,860 It's quite astounding. 231 00:14:46,860 --> 00:14:53,700 If you fast forward to chapter 14, it says that God tore, just as I tore the kingdom 232 00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:58,520 away from the house of David and gave it to you, because you have not been as my servant 233 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:05,200 David, but you have done evil, you have gone and made yourself other gods, therefore behold, 234 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,560 I'll bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. 235 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,200 I'll cut off from Jeroboam every mile in Israel, bond and free. 236 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:17,200 I'll take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam as one takes refuge until it is all 237 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,740 gone. 238 00:15:18,740 --> 00:15:24,160 The dog shall eat whatever belongs to Rehoboam. 239 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:33,000 So what changed this man from being given this great promise of God, this great destiny 240 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:41,280 in God, this great plan to being totally condemned and judged by God as a failure? 241 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:51,200 Well, if you turn to chapter 12, there's an incident. 242 00:15:51,200 --> 00:16:02,200 Jeroboam is given the kingdom, he has 10 tribes, but he is in the north and Rehoboam is in 243 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,200 the south. 244 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,720 He only has one tribe. 245 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:11,440 Now where did the people worship? 246 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,920 They worshiped in the south at Jerusalem. 247 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:21,320 So it says that Jeroboam is set in his heart, verse 26, now the kingdom may return to the 248 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,320 house of David. 249 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:27,520 If these people go off for sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then the heart 250 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,240 of the people will turn back to the Lord, Rehoboam, king of Judah, and they will kill 251 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,200 and go back to Rehoboam. 252 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:39,280 Therefore the king asked advice and made two calves of gold and said to the people, it 253 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,160 is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. 254 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,160 What am I saying? 255 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:50,560 I'm saying he had this great promise, but when he looked at the people, this is what 256 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,360 fear is. 257 00:16:52,360 --> 00:17:01,120 Fear is Satan's dark room where the images that your mind creates get developed. 258 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:09,880 Here's a man, he's saying the people go down to Jerusalem to worship, let them go. 259 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,440 God is with me and he's made me a promise. 260 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,440 He doesn't say that. 261 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,920 He says they're going down to Jerusalem and this is where fear takes over, that they'll 262 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,880 go down, they'll see Rehoboam, they'll get attached to Rehoboam, they'll leave me and 263 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,400 they'll come back and want to kill me. 264 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,760 It was all a lie, but it was all fear thoughts. 265 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:36,960 When he acted out of those fear thoughts, the fear thoughts produced action which made 266 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,880 two golden calves. 267 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,840 Those golden calves caused more evil, not only in Israel in his days, but for generations 268 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,840 to come. 269 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:50,520 It was the cause of all of Israel's apostasy and it came out of actions which come out 270 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,920 of fear thoughts. 271 00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:01,840 Every action you take which comes from fear is destructive to you. 272 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,800 It's destructive to your family. 273 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,920 That's why you've got to slam the door on fear. 274 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:17,560 When you recognize the emotion of fear rising, you've got to apply, stand and apply the 275 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:22,280 promises of God to your life. 276 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,400 Matthew chapter 14, Peter, he starts to walk with Jesus. 277 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,320 He's going to walk in the supernatural. 278 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,280 What does it say? 279 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:41,640 He nearly had a watery grave because it says, Peter said, you want me to come out in the 280 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,640 water? 281 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,640 And he did. 282 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,640 He started to walk in the water. 283 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,640 Jesus said, come. 284 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,120 When he had walked, come out of the boat, he walked in the water to Jesus, but when 285 00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:57,000 he saw that the wind was boistered, he was afraid and then he began to sunk, crying out, 286 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,200 Lord, save me. 287 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,680 Because fear will sink you. 288 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,080 Fear, it will sink you. 289 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,040 It will neutralize you. 290 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,240 It will paralyze you. 291 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,640 It will steal your destiny. 292 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:25,680 And you know, fear, it says in, I think it's one, John 5, 4, somewhere around there, but 293 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:33,980 it says, fear has torment, but perfect love casts out fear. 294 00:19:33,980 --> 00:19:38,880 When this spirit of fear comes into your life, it torments you. 295 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:44,760 We might call that torment anxiety, but it is tormenting and it is not God's plan for 296 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:45,760 your life. 297 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:51,200 Do you know, most of the things, this is why we're told not to be anxious. 298 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,460 Being anxious is wrong before God. 299 00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:56,240 Why are we told not to be anxious? 300 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,720 Because most of the things that the devil wants you to be anxious and fearful about, 301 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,520 most of the things never happen. 302 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,320 And you have been given grace for one day. 303 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,800 It's why Jesus says, do not be anxious. 304 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,960 Look at the birds of the air. 305 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,080 I'll turn to the scripture in Matthew chapter 6. 306 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,480 Jesus said about your material things. 307 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:30,720 You know, you may be worried about whether you're going to have enough food because, 308 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,360 you know, the world is saying there's going to be shortages and, you know, cost of living 309 00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:35,360 pressure and all that. 310 00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,920 Jesus said, I say to you in verse 25, chapter 6, do not worry about your life, what you 311 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,800 eat, what you drink. 312 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,680 Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 313 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,080 Look at the birds of the air for they neither sow nor reap nor gather there, but your heavenly 314 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400 Father feeds them. 315 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,760 Are you not of more value than they? 316 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,160 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his nature, to his stature? 317 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:06,280 And then he goes on to say, if God closed the grass of the field like this, will he 318 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,760 not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 319 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,280 Therefore, do not worry saying what shall we eat, what will we drink? 320 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,400 For all these things the Gentiles seek for the heavenly Father knows that you need these 321 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,040 things but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall 322 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,040 be added. 323 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,040 He finishes by saying this, therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry 324 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:35,280 about its own things sufficient for the day is its own trouble. 325 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,840 What does he mean? 326 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:43,240 He means God has given you grace for today. 327 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,240 That's what it says. 328 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,600 He has given you grace for today. 329 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,220 You have grace to live today. 330 00:21:49,220 --> 00:21:55,080 In every day, in every day you live there is a certain amount of blessing in that day 331 00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,280 and there are a certain amount of problems and challenges, but you have grace for that 332 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:06,280 day to live and overcome and to believe God and be victorious, but you don't have grace 333 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,880 for tomorrow. 334 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:16,240 When you worry you are taking tomorrow's problems and you're bringing them into today so now 335 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:21,000 you have double the problems and you don't have grace for that and that's why you start 336 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,720 to go down. 337 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,680 That's why you do not worry. 338 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,400 You do not meditate on tomorrow. 339 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,480 You just focus on today. 340 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:40,360 That's how you slam the door on anxiety. 341 00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:47,800 You know, as I said, challenges are not going to stop coming. 342 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:58,680 Challenges are going to come, but you must understand that those challenges and you must 343 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:06,820 know how to not allow those challenges to open the door to the spirit of fear. 344 00:23:06,820 --> 00:23:14,320 You must know how to slam the door on fear, keep the door to fear shut and how do you 345 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,760 do that? 346 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:21,160 1 John 5, 4 says, faith is the victory. 347 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,160 It is so important. 348 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,080 There's a scripture, faith. 349 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,720 Faith comes from hearing the word and there's a scripture, I think it's in John chapter 350 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:36,520 3 somewhere, but it says, let God be true and every man a liar. 351 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,440 That's what someone of faith must know. 352 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,000 Like, God's made me a promise. 353 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,640 I can read all these newspapers. 354 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,880 I can hear all these opinions from man, but if God has made me a promise, let God be true 355 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,080 and everything else is a lie. 356 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,360 That's the attitude of a man of faith. 357 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:55,560 That God has made you promise. 358 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,640 You know, he said when you go through the challenges, when you get attacked, God has 359 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,880 made you a promise, no weapon formed against you will prosper. 360 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,480 When you go through challenges, God has made you a promise that everything will work together 361 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,480 for your good. 362 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,360 God says the enemy will come in, but when the enemy comes in like a flood, he said, 363 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:15,200 the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a stand and a banner. 364 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,040 When the angels see that banner, they come and defend you. 365 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,800 That's the truth. 366 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,680 Let God be true and every man a liar. 367 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,800 But you've got to be able to hear the word of God, know the word of God and proclaim 368 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,240 it in the face of the devil when challenges come. 369 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,840 You've got to know how to slam the door on fear because I'm hearing so many Christians, 370 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,000 they speak about what's coming and what's coming down the pipe and it all sounds like 371 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:48,160 wisdom and it's just fear manifesting. 372 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,200 You know, you know what, you know how to, you know how you overcome fear. 373 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,500 This is so profound. 374 00:24:55,500 --> 00:25:03,160 If you turn to, well first of all, Jesus, when the disciples were speaking fear words 375 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,880 when the storm comes, what was Jesus doing? 376 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,720 He's asleep in the boat. 377 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,680 Now why was he able to sleep? 378 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,720 It was a hurricane. 379 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,720 The boat was filled with water, his feet were wet. 380 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,640 Because you know why? 381 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:28,560 Jesus, when he was baptizing the Spirit at his baptism, he heard a voice, this is an 382 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,880 experience, what did the voice say? 383 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:38,320 You are my beloved son. 384 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,240 It's just not knowing about God's love. 385 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:47,440 There's a difference between knowing that God is nuts about me. 386 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:54,560 He rejoices over me with singing and my wife may love me, my children may love me, but 387 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,040 that's not perfect love. 388 00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:02,880 When I know who I am, a child of God and how he really feels about me, I know that no one 389 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,640 can take me out of his hands until he's done with me. 390 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,200 Perfect love casts out fear. 391 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,040 And that's what you, you know the apostle Paul, it says when they said they were going 392 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,760 to behead him, history said he ran to the chopping block because he knew his time was 393 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,960 up. 394 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:26,160 Before that he never feared a thing. 395 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:33,880 Perth do you know how much, do you know how much God, the creator of all things, loves 396 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:34,880 you? 397 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,920 A lot of people know God so loved the world, you know that in the scripture that he goes, 398 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,840 but they don't know that God loves me. 399 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:48,200 You must have like Jesus had, it was a revelation at his baptism that God loves me. 400 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,840 Because it's perfect love, not the love of your wife, not good love, it's perfect love 401 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:58,000 and the only person who loves perfectly is God that casts out, slams the door on fear 402 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:06,960 and Jesus had no fear because he knew he was held in the arms of his father. 403 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:27,160 Isaiah 43 says this, it says, but know this says the Lord who created you, you who formed 404 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:33,200 you, I believe this is a prophetic word, oh Israel, fear not for I have redeemed you, 405 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:40,000 I purchased you with my son's blood, I bought you back, I have called you by your name, 406 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,000 you are mine. 407 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,200 Therefore, God says, if you're a true Christian, you've been bought with the blood of Jesus, 408 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:52,880 you're no longer your own, you belong to him and he has responsibility for you, not you. 409 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:59,240 You are his property and he says when you pass through the waters, doesn't say you're 410 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,080 not going to pass through the waters, he says when you do like that David passed through 411 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:10,680 the valley of death, you are going to pass through waters and those waters can be terrifying, 412 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,360 those waters can be flood waters. 413 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:17,560 He says when you pass through the waters and he says through the rivers and he says when 414 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:23,360 you walk through the fire, there will be fire in your life, there'll be times when you feel, 415 00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:29,680 when a fire brings great heat, there's great heat being applied, pressure being applied 416 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,760 to your life, to your finances, to your family, to your health, challenges coming, to your 417 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,840 relationships and he says but when you go through the waters, when you go through the 418 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:50,920 rivers, when you go through the fire, this is his promise, I will be with you. 419 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:58,680 If bad times are coming, the only thing that matters is, is God with you? 420 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,560 His anointing, his glory, is he with you? 421 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:11,580 He's with you, he's with those who are with him. 422 00:29:11,580 --> 00:29:17,880 And if God is with you, think about this, he says I will be with you, they shall not 423 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:24,120 overflow you, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. 424 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:29,800 And I'm saying to you Christian, the same God says when Jesus rose from the death, I 425 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,520 will be with you and never forsake you. 426 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:39,480 It means his presence will be with you in the storm, in the fire, like those Hebrew 427 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,440 boys in the fire, Jesus was with them. 428 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:50,840 And he says the fire will not scorch you, they came out of that fire without even smelly 429 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:58,560 clothes and you will come through every challenge, no weapon formed against you will prosper 430 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,600 if you believe it. 431 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:06,040 Everything that happens to you will work for your good if you believe it. 432 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,880 Those family issues, those financial issues, if you trust God and stand on his word, it'll 433 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,720 all turn around for your good. 434 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,280 But you must know how to slam the door on fear. 435 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,920 Because when you go through those waters, when you go through those rivers, when you 436 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,840 go through that fire, the devil comes and says this is it. 437 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:34,600 Like Peter, you're going under when Jesus said he's going over. 438 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,480 So when you see weapons coming against you, weapons coming against your health, your family, 439 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:46,760 your business, you're going to say I know the weapon is real, I'm not denying reality, 440 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:52,300 but God is with me and he said no weapon formed against me will prosper. 441 00:30:52,300 --> 00:30:54,800 This is the faith, this is the faith. 442 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,120 Jesus said when I come again will I find faith on the earth? 443 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:05,080 There's so much fake faith in the church, but faith is knowing God is with you, it's 444 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:10,240 knowing the word and the promise God has given you and it's standing on them. 445 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:17,400 And when you hear the voice of the enemy and you will hear it saying you're a goner, you 446 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:23,280 said I'm rejecting that voice and I'm standing on the promises of God which says no weapon 447 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,520 formed against me is going to prosper. 448 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,480 There's a person, I don't like that wooing by the way, shouting the spirit, but I don't 449 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,280 like that noise. 450 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:42,680 There's a person in the scriptures, it's in 2 Samuel, I like him, I've preached to him 451 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,240 a number of times, particularly to the men. 452 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:55,200 And it says here, it says 2 Samuel 23, his name is Shammah and he's one of my heroes. 453 00:31:55,200 --> 00:32:06,800 And it says that after him was a man named Shammah, the son of Agai the Harareite, the 454 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:14,360 Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there is a piece of ground full of lentils. 455 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:19,600 So the people fled from the Philistines, but he stationed himself in the middle of the 456 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:31,480 field, defended it and killed the Philistines, so the Lord bought about a great victory. 457 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:40,920 You know this is just a picture, the enemy came, everyone felt the terror. 458 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:49,040 It says when they came to take his lentils, it was his and the enemy comes to steal, kill 459 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,360 and destroy, you know that? 460 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:56,120 The enemy comes to steal what God's given you. 461 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,000 Enemy comes to steal your peace, enemy comes to steal your marriage, enemy comes to steal 462 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,480 your destiny, enemy comes to steal your children, enemy wants to steal. 463 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,440 And the enemy came to steal something God had given this man. 464 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:19,280 And when the enemy turned up because they were fearsome, everybody fled and said, it's 465 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,280 too much for us. 466 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,480 They just gave in to fear. 467 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,800 But I love this man. 468 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:34,160 This man stood and slammed the door on fear and he knew the promises of God that said 469 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:39,680 to Joshua in chapter one verse five, no one will be able to stand against the man of God 470 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,120 who stands on my word. 471 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,160 And he stood there with the word of God and he stood there on the promises of God and 472 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:51,280 he stood there and he would not let the enemy steal what he'd come to steal because he stood 473 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,280 on the promises of God. 474 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:57,120 And you know what happens when you stand on the word of God and you slam the door on fear 475 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,400 even though you can do nothing and all you have is a word. 476 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:07,040 It said then God bought about a great victory. 477 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:16,440 God enters your battle when you stand on the promises of God and you do not be moved by 478 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,440 what the enemy is saying. 479 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,960 This is when the power of God comes into your life, into your situation and turns everything 480 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,160 for your good. 481 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:40,880 But you must stand on the promises because faith is the victory and the enemy will come. 482 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,560 The enemy will come to steal, he will come to kill, he will come to destroy because that's 483 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:51,000 his will, that's his nature. 484 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,640 But this man knew God has made me promises. 485 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,640 I'm not going. 486 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:08,280 I'm going to simply trust God's Word and come what may I'm not fleeing, I'm not opening 487 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:15,800 the door to fear, I'm just going to stand on God's promises even if I die standing on 488 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:16,800 them. 489 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:25,880 I'm going to stand on what God's told me, when he did the power of God came. 490 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:33,000 What I'm saying is I felt Nicky say this morning, you know there are David walked through the 491 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,680 valley of shadow of death, darkness, there are dark times coming. 492 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:44,720 Isaiah speaks about you know floods and fires. 493 00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:49,920 You know we're going to go through, I just know we're going through a season of difficulty. 494 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:54,440 It started in spirits, it started in 2020, it's not over yet, time is going to get hard 495 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,080 for Christians. 496 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:08,160 But do not, do not allow your mind to become that place where you know as I said before, 497 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:13,000 it's the dark rooms where negatives are developed. 498 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:20,800 Do not allow your mind to project what Satan's trying to say to you. 499 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:26,960 Do not look into the future and begin to worry, you only have grace for today. 500 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:35,400 But believe every day, my God has made me a promise, He is with me, even if I fail, 501 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,500 He'll never forsake me. 502 00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:42,280 Even on my worst day, He's never going to forsake me. 503 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:49,000 He is with me and I will not be scorched by that fire. 504 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,240 Those flood waters when they see rising, they may come right up to here, but at the very 505 00:36:53,240 --> 00:37:01,560 right last moment, He'll make them subside because His grace is sufficient and when He 506 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:08,440 says He's with me, it means He's with me to sustain me. 507 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:16,560 In the Spirit today, in the Spirit today, I just believe God is shutting the door, if 508 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,800 you believe it, on fear. 509 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:27,000 It's slamming the door on fear, slamming the door on fear. 510 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:37,640 Recognize how the devil works, how he speaks, how he wants you to come in agreement and 511 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:41,320 act from fear. 512 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:54,720 But how to know your God, stand on His Word, proclaim His promises. 513 00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:58,520 I want to tell you, faith is a victory. 514 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,560 Faith is a victory. 515 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,880 Do you know how much God loves you? 516 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,840 The time to know it is when you're going through it. 517 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,560 When you're going through challenging times, when you go through difficulty times, it's 518 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:17,880 so important to know, not to deny the difficulty, not to think something's wrong, but just, 519 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:19,040 you know what you've got to know? 520 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,080 This is what Peter didn't know. 521 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,360 You know that storm on the lake? 522 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:30,120 God knew all about it and He allowed it. 523 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,720 It was a lesson to be learned. 524 00:38:31,720 --> 00:38:32,960 It was teaching times. 525 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,880 You've got to go through stuff to grow. 526 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:40,560 If it comes to you, if it gets to you, God has allowed it. 527 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,200 That's what you've got to know. 528 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,800 If it gets to you, He's allowed it. 529 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,920 He's not the author of it, but He allowed it. 530 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,480 There's nothing wrong. 531 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,560 Just lay there and say, God, you allowed it, but you love me. 532 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,760 You're with me. 533 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,240 There's a lesson here and it's everything at the other side. 534 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:05,320 When I

00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,440 And the weapon I see, yeah, I see the weapon of illness. 538 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:13,480 I see the weapon of this. 539 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:14,480 I see the weapon of that. 540 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,120 I see it, but it shall not prosper. 541 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:21,080 Shout it in the face of the devil and shout it in the face. 542 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,000 It doesn't matter if I sinned yesterday. 543 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,200 It doesn't matter if I failed tomorrow. 544 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,980 My God is with me and He is loyal. 545 00:39:27,980 --> 00:39:29,480 He is not up and down, God. 546 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,040 He has made a promise when I trusted in the blood of Jesus that He would never forsake 547 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,400 me and He will sustain me through every situation. 548 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,680 That is my God. 549 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,280 That is my God. 550 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,680

00:40:39,280 That when we stand and we believe that we are still able to go through stuff and come 563 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:45,960 out of it unsinged, we are still able to go through fires and come out of it completely 564 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:46,960 protected. 565 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:58,280 Father God, in the name of Jesus today, I slam the door on fear. 566 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,960 Every heart slammed the door on fear today. 567 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:11,520 I declare that you have not given us a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind. 568 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:21,240 Father God, in the name of Jesus, I take authority over all anxiety, every phobia and I break 569 00:41:21,240 --> 00:41:23,040 your power today in Jesus name. 570 00:41:23,040 -->

of faith, kingdom faith will come into that heart today. 573 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:35,820 You shall hear the word of God. 574 00:41:35,820 --> 00:41:43,040 You shall get revelation from the promises of God and you shall see the victory in Jesus 575 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,040 name. 576 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,880 Hallelujah. 577 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,860 Told you sermons that are ad hoc are better. 578 00:41:50,860 --> 00:41:53,920 God is with us. 579 00:41:53,920 --> 00:42:00,920 He is faithful and you will not be paralyzed anymore. 580 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:07,600 You will not be neutralized anymore by fear, but you will overcome it in Jesus name. 581 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:08,600 Hallelujah. 582 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:35,680 God bless you today, keep your ministry up and
