00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:06.860
Hey guys and welcome back to the salt not sweetener

00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:13.320
podcast. I'm your host Danielle Townsend and

00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:17.940
Today is gonna be a really important message

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:23.260
Something that I can already feel God is going

00:00:23.260 --> 00:00:26.879
to move through this message today and honestly

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.980
y 'all My sermon this morning at church the message

00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:34.759
today that I listened to gave me the encouragement

00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.640
to speak on this and to share this with y 'all

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.679
today now I said in my first ever episode of

00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.079
the salt not sweetener podcast that this podcast

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.280
was titled salt not sweetener and I was pulling

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.700
from the scripture where God calls us the salt

00:00:52.700 --> 00:00:55.479
of the earth Now remember when I was reading

00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.619
that scripture he emphasized to me so heavily

00:00:57.619 --> 00:01:04.239
I did not call you the sweetener I did not call

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.239
you to sugarcoat things I did not call you to

00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.980
people please I did not call you to tell people

00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:13.040
just what sounds good to their ears and what

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:16.480
makes them feel warm and fuzzy I called you to

00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.780
be the salt of the earth and salt is bitter to

00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:27.769
some people just as the truth is bitter just

00:01:27.769 --> 00:01:32.150
as there are some people who the truth just offends

00:01:32.150 --> 00:01:36.409
and I said in my first episode that the gospel

00:01:36.409 --> 00:01:41.909
is offensive the gospel is offensive to people

00:01:41.909 --> 00:01:44.950
who are living in their own truth and not in

00:01:44.950 --> 00:01:48.969
the truth of the gospel not in the real truth

00:01:49.859 --> 00:01:53.400
people who are Listening to the things that are

00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:54.980
sweet to their ears people who are listening

00:01:54.980 --> 00:01:56.900
to the flesh people who are listening to the

00:01:56.900 --> 00:01:58.719
Comforts people who are listening to the desires

00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.519
of their heart when they hear the truth of the

00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:05.420
gospel Which tells you to die to self Which tells

00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:09.080
you to serve others to forgive to love in a Christ

00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.240
like way when it tells you to deny yourself And

00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.620
I even have that in the description of this podcast

00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:19.099
y 'all that when Jesus tells us these things

00:02:19.099 --> 00:02:22.219
these aren't sweet to our ears these aren't things

00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:24.479
that we want to hear these aren't things that

00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.319
make our flesh feel good but we know that the

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.560
flesh the flesh when we are referring to the

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:32.580
flesh y 'all that we're jumping right in today

00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:36.000
the flesh is referring to our innate desires

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.259
the desires of the flesh the things that make

00:02:38.259 --> 00:02:41.780
us comfortable the things that make us feel good

00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:47.659
in the moment the things that please our desires

00:02:47.659 --> 00:02:50.629
but the spirit the spirit is things that are

00:02:50.629 --> 00:02:53.990
pleasing to christ things are pleasing towards

00:02:53.990 --> 00:02:56.189
the lord and we know from reading scripture that

00:02:56.189 --> 00:02:59.090
the flesh and the spirit are enemies the things

00:02:59.090 --> 00:03:01.689
are of the flesh are not of the spirit the things

00:03:01.689 --> 00:03:05.090
are of the spirit are not of the flesh and when

00:03:05.090 --> 00:03:08.009
you are leaning into the spirit it requires you

00:03:08.009 --> 00:03:11.449
to crucify the flesh we've talked about fasting

00:03:11.449 --> 00:03:14.849
before y 'all fasting is denying the flesh I

00:03:14.849 --> 00:03:17.550
cannot tell y 'all how many times I had revelation,

00:03:17.550 --> 00:03:20.650
I had clarity, I saw moves of God in my life

00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:23.990
when I denied the flesh and substituted that

00:03:23.990 --> 00:03:27.750
time with the Word of God and truly seeking the

00:03:27.750 --> 00:03:29.729
Lord. Scripture says in the book of Jeremiah

00:03:29.729 --> 00:03:32.310
it says that when you seek the Lord and you seek

00:03:32.310 --> 00:03:36.870
him with all your heart you will find him. And

00:03:36.870 --> 00:03:39.849
what our message today was in church, y 'all

00:03:39.849 --> 00:03:43.370
the pastor was so heavy on emphasizing our it

00:03:43.370 --> 00:03:47.909
is Our role to love one another as Christians

00:03:47.909 --> 00:03:50.469
Jesus gave us that commandment right to love

00:03:50.469 --> 00:03:53.009
one another as Christ loved you and he emphasized

00:03:53.009 --> 00:03:57.030
that it is Love to share the truth of Jesus.

00:03:57.030 --> 00:04:00.449
We know that Jesus is the truth the way and the

00:04:00.449 --> 00:04:06.250
life He came here to testify to the truth There

00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:09.909
is there there is such a big movement going on

00:04:09.909 --> 00:04:13.610
and I am someone who fell into it for years of

00:04:13.610 --> 00:04:16.790
Embracing your own truth and living in your own

00:04:16.790 --> 00:04:21.089
ways y 'all I fell victim to New Age spirituality

00:04:21.089 --> 00:04:24.449
and I'm gonna say this I want to say this right

00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:27.350
now starting off the podcast New Age spirituality

00:04:27.350 --> 00:04:32.029
is a one -way ticket to hell to separation forever

00:04:32.029 --> 00:04:37.319
from the Heavenly Father Because new age gratifies

00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:44.560
the flesh New age spirituality tells you that

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.420
you are a god That you are the one with the power

00:04:48.420 --> 00:04:51.160
that you are the creator of your own reality

00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.319
That you can manifest things that you can do

00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:57.120
all these things that you can heal yourself that

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.920
you can do all these New age teaches you to rely

00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.100
on yourself To chase your heart's desire saying

00:05:04.100 --> 00:05:07.360
if you want something enough, it'll be yours

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:11.560
If you set your mind on it, if you think on enough

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.120
you can create it New Age spirituality teaches

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.819
you to worship yourself The devil doesn't have

00:05:19.819 --> 00:05:21.899
to get you to worship him. He just has to get

00:05:21.899 --> 00:05:26.240
you to worship anything other than God We know

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.540
in order to go into eternal life to go into heaven.

00:05:30.740 --> 00:05:37.860
Jesus is the only way. And New Age spirituality

00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:41.459
teaches you to do in every way apart from Jesus.

00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.680
That you can be your own savior. That you can

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.800
break things down. That you can heal. You can

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:48.839
use crystals. You can use rocks. You can use

00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.480
meditations. You can use these different mantras.

00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.839
You can do all those things. You could use divination.

00:05:55.149 --> 00:05:57.750
Teaches you just enough shadow work and picking

00:05:57.750 --> 00:06:00.310
it apart and enlightenment and spiritual awakenings

00:06:00.310 --> 00:06:02.870
and all this stuff That is just a hamster wheel

00:06:02.870 --> 00:06:08.430
and there is no actual salvation I'm gonna read

00:06:08.430 --> 00:06:11.110
scripture to y 'all in a minute that scripture

00:06:11.110 --> 00:06:14.509
tells us and we know that Jesus came here to

00:06:14.509 --> 00:06:18.910
testify to the truth He is the truth and the

00:06:18.910 --> 00:06:25.250
Word of God is truth And someone listening to

00:06:25.250 --> 00:06:28.250
this podcast needs to hear today that new age,

00:06:28.569 --> 00:06:33.170
those new age beliefs, those beliefs in self,

00:06:33.589 --> 00:06:36.129
that following your heart and following what

00:06:36.129 --> 00:06:39.470
feels right is going to lead you straight to

00:06:39.470 --> 00:06:45.769
hell. I'm also here today to tell you as living

00:06:45.769 --> 00:06:48.920
proof that you can repent. And you can be moved

00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.100
by the word of God put your faith in Jesus Christ

00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:59.139
and see How Jesus can move in your life I believe

00:06:59.139 --> 00:07:01.899
that I am saved y 'all. I believe that I am covered

00:07:01.899 --> 00:07:05.879
in the blood of Jesus I have seen way too many

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.339
transformations in myself that I thought to be

00:07:08.339 --> 00:07:11.279
impossible through Jesus Christ to not believe

00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:13.980
I have seen way too many moves of God in my life

00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:17.759
to not believe And I am here to tell y 'all today

00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.360
as someone who used to fall into people -pleasing

00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.360
and called that love Who used to fall into telling

00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.060
people what they wanted to hear and just doing

00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:27.459
what people wanted to do and said that that's

00:07:27.459 --> 00:07:28.939
The most loving thing I could do because I'm

00:07:28.939 --> 00:07:31.519
not offending anybody I'm not hurting anybody

00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.319
when I took my feelings and took them as truth

00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.259
When I listen to all these other things y 'all

00:07:40.259 --> 00:07:42.720
when I was in new age spirituality, I believed

00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:47.129
I Believed in all these relative truths Right.

00:07:47.129 --> 00:07:49.389
I believe that like maybe it's just a mishmash

00:07:49.389 --> 00:07:51.149
of everything in New Age spirituality It was

00:07:51.149 --> 00:07:54.430
a mishmash of Christianity Hinduism Buddhism

00:07:54.430 --> 00:07:58.569
Satanism like this witchcraft New Age spirituality

00:07:58.569 --> 00:08:01.790
is just a pot full of All of these different

00:08:01.790 --> 00:08:04.110
ideals and you just take what sounds right to

00:08:04.110 --> 00:08:05.689
you and what feels right to you and you call

00:08:05.689 --> 00:08:10.850
it truth But that is not true And I am here today

00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:20.839
to testify of how when I started walking by the

00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:25.519
spirit and denying the flesh, I saw actual healing.

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.560
I saw restoration. I saw protection. From the

00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.299
devil from the demonic forces that I have never

00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:36.919
seen before in my life I was trying to do spiritual

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.340
warfare from a new age perspective when I was

00:08:39.340 --> 00:08:41.659
facing spiritual warfare in new age I was trying

00:08:41.659 --> 00:08:45.000
to protect myself of mantras and with cleansings

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.559
and with crystals and with all these things and

00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:50.860
incense and all this crap and I was wondering

00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:53.259
why is none of this like working like I feel

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:57.779
like it should and Then I experienced spiritual

00:08:57.779 --> 00:09:00.590
warfare after being Covered in the blood of Jesus

00:09:00.590 --> 00:09:03.789
and I saw weapons forming against me. Not only

00:09:03.789 --> 00:09:08.049
were they not prospering but I saw The enemy

00:09:08.049 --> 00:09:10.370
getting caught in the traps that he laid out

00:09:10.370 --> 00:09:14.789
for me I saw God using all of these weapons forming

00:09:14.789 --> 00:09:18.909
against me for my good I saw protection from

00:09:18.909 --> 00:09:21.149
being covered in the blood that you cannot be

00:09:21.149 --> 00:09:23.830
covered in anywhere else No, I was watching a

00:09:23.830 --> 00:09:26.629
video the other day on tik -tok and it was this

00:09:26.629 --> 00:09:29.679
it was someone interviewing this witch this which

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.740
was saying that there's a small group of people

00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:35.000
that Witchcraft can't touch and it's people who

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.019
are living in their truth and people who are

00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:39.840
embracing their truth and You know there was

00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:42.159
someone who duetted that video and said, you

00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.039
know, she she is not having the full She really

00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.720
tried to emphasize. She's like I'm not saying

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:49.399
Christians I'm just saying anybody who believes

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.500
in their higher power and You know this this

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:55.600
person was very quick to say she's referring

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.440
to being covered in the blood of Jesus but she

00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.120
has it twisted and there are people in the comments

00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.539
saying see you know that this doesn't mean Christians

00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:05.019
like it's just if you really walk in your truth

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:08.580
there's a protection no I'm here to tell y 'all

00:10:08.580 --> 00:10:15.279
no that is not what scripture says Jesus is the

00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:21.769
only way Jesus is the way, the truth, the life,

00:10:21.809 --> 00:10:25.649
the authority that we have to trample on serpents

00:10:25.649 --> 00:10:29.009
and scorpions. The no weapon formed against us

00:10:29.009 --> 00:10:32.190
that shall prosper comes through our faith and

00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:36.870
being covered in the blood of who? Jesus. I'm

00:10:36.870 --> 00:10:39.450
here to tell y 'all, when I was a new age, I

00:10:39.450 --> 00:10:42.850
truly believed in my truth. I believed in who

00:10:42.850 --> 00:10:47.389
I was. I believed in what I was doing. I had...

00:10:47.179 --> 00:10:51.740
What I don't I believed at the time to be a troop

00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:55.519
and I was not protected I know so many other

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.620
people who the weapons Were forming and appear

00:10:59.620 --> 00:11:03.200
to be prospering the only true protection is

00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.919
through being covered in the blood of Jesus and

00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:10.720
walking in that authority And that comes through

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:15.289
confessing Jesus as Lord Putting your faith in

00:11:15.289 --> 00:11:17.889
him with your words and with your heart you can

00:11:17.889 --> 00:11:20.710
call yourself a Christian and go to church and

00:11:20.710 --> 00:11:23.269
all these things and not actually believe in

00:11:23.269 --> 00:11:26.750
who Jesus Christ is and not actually have the

00:11:26.750 --> 00:11:30.789
faith and his ability to Protect you and to pay

00:11:30.789 --> 00:11:34.269
the debt for your sins You can confess it with

00:11:34.269 --> 00:11:35.950
your mouth and not have your faith in the heart.

00:11:35.950 --> 00:11:38.190
I know because I did it growing up in the church

00:11:38.190 --> 00:11:44.429
I know because I did it and I saw the weapons

00:11:44.429 --> 00:11:48.870
forming, and they appeared to prosper for a while.

00:11:49.590 --> 00:11:51.549
I've said this in episodes before, y 'all. You

00:11:51.549 --> 00:11:54.009
can't one foot in and one foot out. God doesn't

00:11:54.009 --> 00:11:57.250
do lukewarm. And you can't put one foot in and

00:11:57.250 --> 00:12:00.450
one foot out and expect the 100 % of His promises

00:12:00.450 --> 00:12:03.389
when you're giving like 50 % submission. He said,

00:12:03.429 --> 00:12:05.529
no weapons that formed against you shall prosper.

00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:10.220
Right? But when you're not submitting to Him,

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.320
when you're having all these open doors to the

00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.200
devil, when you're participating in divination

00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:18.159
and horoscopes and witchcraft and lies and slandering

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:23.100
and wicked works and then other areas trying

00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:27.700
to hand that over to God, how can you 50 % invest,

00:12:28.259 --> 00:12:30.000
have all these open doors where you're giving

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.200
the devil access to your life and be mad that

00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:37.139
you're not seeing 100 % of God's promises fulfilled?

00:12:37.710 --> 00:12:40.590
When you're not giving the hundred percent I'm

00:12:40.590 --> 00:12:43.590
speaking to y 'all from experience today, and

00:12:43.590 --> 00:12:49.269
if you feel convicted good You need to I needed

00:12:49.269 --> 00:12:55.830
to I wish someone spoke to me this way But that

00:12:55.830 --> 00:12:59.370
path that you're going down With putting faith

00:12:59.370 --> 00:13:02.350
in yourself and your truth and your desires taking

00:13:02.350 --> 00:13:05.120
your feelings as truth We know scripture tells

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.559
us that the heart is deceptive. So when you're

00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:09.919
putting your faith in your heart and what you

00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:13.679
believe to be true at that time That is a one

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:17.799
-way ticket to separation And the flesh doesn't

00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:21.100
care about eternity the flesh thinks about here

00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:23.519
and now what makes me feel good right now What

00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.820
do I want five minutes from now? What do I want

00:13:25.820 --> 00:13:29.179
in this lifetime? The flesh isn't thinking about

00:13:29.179 --> 00:13:32.539
your eternal destination where you're going to

00:13:32.539 --> 00:13:36.200
be Forever and i'm here to tell y 'all you think

00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.539
you know what life is like without god because

00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:42.379
you're rejecting him right now. You don't Everything

00:13:42.379 --> 00:13:48.279
good on this earth is because of god The breath

00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.980
in your lungs is because of god the sun coming

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:58.159
up is because of god The love that you experience

00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.980
is because of God the lowercase G God of this

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:04.960
world the devil Satan everything Evil and wicked

00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.440
comes out of him the things that you're angry

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.159
at God about the thing that addictions that you're

00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.120
angry about The negative things that you've experienced

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.120
the hatred from other people the jealousy from

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.240
other people the animosity from other people

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:26.779
amen All of those things came from the devil.

00:14:28.139 --> 00:14:32.080
He is the one who brings about these things.

00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:35.320
He is the father of lies, of wickedness, of evil.

00:14:35.419 --> 00:14:39.740
He only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. These

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:42.120
things that you're angry at God about, you should

00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:47.049
be angry at Satan about. then turning away from

00:14:47.049 --> 00:14:49.490
God and rejecting his goodness you're welcoming

00:14:49.490 --> 00:14:51.490
these things from the devil that sure feel good

00:14:51.490 --> 00:14:55.970
to your flesh for five minutes but he's the one

00:14:55.970 --> 00:15:00.669
running amok and it took me so long to understand

00:15:00.669 --> 00:15:03.710
this I was so y 'all for so long mad at God of

00:15:03.710 --> 00:15:06.110
God why'd you let addiction happen in my life

00:15:06.110 --> 00:15:08.429
why'd you let people hurt me this way why'd you

00:15:08.429 --> 00:15:11.230
let all these other things happen But when I

00:15:11.230 --> 00:15:13.690
look back, I also wasn't walking in submission

00:15:13.690 --> 00:15:16.389
to God. I wasn't fully putting my faith in Him.

00:15:16.450 --> 00:15:20.269
I wasn't seeking Him with all my heart. I wasn't

00:15:20.269 --> 00:15:23.110
trusting Him. I was still trying to control things.

00:15:23.870 --> 00:15:25.950
I was still opening all these other doors to

00:15:25.950 --> 00:15:28.269
the devil. And when I finally got right with

00:15:28.269 --> 00:15:31.840
God, He revealed me. He's like, You had all of

00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:34.320
these other, you were confessing Jesus with your

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.340
mouth, but in all these other areas, you were

00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:38.379
welcoming the devil to come in and take root

00:15:38.379 --> 00:15:41.019
and wreak havoc in your life. How can you be

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:43.480
mad that I didn't protect you when you aren't

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:45.399
following any of the commandments that I give

00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:51.539
you to be protected? And that's not saying that

00:15:51.539 --> 00:15:53.919
walking in submission, bad things will happen

00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.929
because we do live in a fallen world. But I wasn't

00:15:57.929 --> 00:15:59.750
even doing my part in the first place. There

00:15:59.750 --> 00:16:01.750
were a lot of things that I allowed in my life

00:16:01.750 --> 00:16:04.210
that I did not have to allow in my life that

00:16:04.210 --> 00:16:08.110
came through my disobedience. And when I started

00:16:08.110 --> 00:16:10.769
living a life submitted to the Lord and there

00:16:10.769 --> 00:16:13.149
were still weapons forming, the enemy was still

00:16:13.149 --> 00:16:16.470
coming at me. But I saw God starting to use those

00:16:16.470 --> 00:16:19.409
things for my good. Even though there was a painful

00:16:19.409 --> 00:16:21.289
season when I came out on the other side, there

00:16:21.289 --> 00:16:23.850
was a harvest to reap. There was blessing. I

00:16:23.850 --> 00:16:26.029
saw how these things were lessons and not just

00:16:26.029 --> 00:16:30.409
pain. God actually used them. You know, my whole

00:16:30.409 --> 00:16:32.269
life where I felt like there was injustice and

00:16:32.269 --> 00:16:34.309
all this pain and all this suffering, once I

00:16:34.309 --> 00:16:36.230
was walking in submission to God and trusting

00:16:36.230 --> 00:16:38.409
it to him, I saw how those things, although the

00:16:38.409 --> 00:16:40.210
weapons were forming, I saw how they turned around.

00:16:40.289 --> 00:16:43.049
I saw how Satan fell into his own traps. I saw

00:16:43.049 --> 00:16:45.730
how God protected me from things. When I listened

00:16:45.730 --> 00:16:47.970
to him tell me, no, don't go there. Don't hang

00:16:47.970 --> 00:16:49.870
out with those people. Don't participate in that

00:16:49.870 --> 00:16:53.190
thing. Stay here. Read the word. Pray to me.

00:16:53.210 --> 00:16:55.669
And then later on I hear what went down. later

00:16:55.669 --> 00:16:58.389
on I saw what happened later on that person things

00:16:58.389 --> 00:17:00.149
were revealed that I wasn't seeing and I was

00:17:00.149 --> 00:17:02.169
like wow I'm I'm glad I listened to God because

00:17:02.169 --> 00:17:04.049
if I didn't I would have walked in that situation

00:17:04.049 --> 00:17:09.569
got really hurt harmed damaged delayed blocked

00:17:09.569 --> 00:17:17.069
for so long y 'all I was saying God just doesn't

00:17:17.069 --> 00:17:18.789
want us to have fun he's given us all these rules

00:17:18.789 --> 00:17:20.670
because he doesn't want us to have fun that is

00:17:20.670 --> 00:17:24.720
not true Satan paints these sins as fun, but

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.920
they are bondage. Because once that becomes a

00:17:27.920 --> 00:17:30.200
cycle, once that becomes a routine, it is so

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.019
hard to break it off of you. Once drinking and

00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:35.839
smoking to deal with your emotions, to make you

00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.859
bold or brave becomes a routine, it's really

00:17:38.859 --> 00:17:43.759
hard to do it apart from that thing, right? Addictions

00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.039
form mental, emotional, physical. When you get

00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.059
used to exposing your body and that's how you

00:17:49.059 --> 00:17:51.099
feel good about yourself. When you start to try

00:17:51.099 --> 00:17:54.079
to dress modestly or cover up, you don't feel

00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.700
good. You don't feel right. You feel like a grandma.

00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:58.880
You feel like this. All of a sudden you're insecure.

00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:02.119
When you're used to all the worldly ways of you

00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:05.279
feeling good about yourself, you can't break

00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.400
them off. Sin feels good until you try to leave.

00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:12.099
The people who are in witchcraft, the people

00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:15.400
who are in divination, It feels fun. It feels

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.740
like control. It feels like power until you try

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:20.440
to walk away. When you try to come out of those

00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:22.799
agreements you came into. And all of a sudden,

00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:25.140
you feel bound. All of a sudden, the enemy is

00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:27.160
pulling you back in, is reeling you back in.

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.900
All of a sudden, you feel like you can't think

00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:31.519
without divination. All of a sudden, there's

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:33.400
panic and there's worry and there's anxiety.

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.279
Y 'all, when I left New Age, I had to have such

00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.960
heavy deliverance. I didn't realize how many

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.460
demonic agreements I came into. there are so

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:47.799
many people who want to leave but feel like they

00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.039
can't because they believe the lie of Satan that

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:52.740
now they're Satan's that they're forever stuck

00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:54.220
in these agreements that they're forever stuck

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:56.579
in these bondages you're not you can break free

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:59.359
Jesus broke me free but you have to believe in

00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:01.960
his ability to break you free and you have to

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:03.680
continue to put your faith in Jesus over what

00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:05.519
the enemy is saying and what the enemy is telling

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:10.079
you but there are so many people Who are stuck

00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:11.960
in that there's so many people who don't believe

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.200
that Jesus has the power he does That believes

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.920
Satan to be the ultimate authority wickedness

00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.180
evil and darkness and that is not true when you're

00:19:20.180 --> 00:19:22.079
covered in the blood of Jesus You have the authority

00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:28.259
to stop that out and to rebuke it But that authority

00:19:28.259 --> 00:19:32.539
Comes through following Jesus truly with your

00:19:32.539 --> 00:19:38.920
heart I saw y 'all when I was in new age people

00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:42.000
who were witches trying to use Psalms and Proverbs

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.980
to curse and hex and I saw that backfire zero

00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:51.940
to 100 real quick It is in the book of John where

00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:55.099
Jesus Jesus makes it clear that there are children

00:19:55.099 --> 00:19:58.180
of God There are sons of God and their sons of

00:19:58.180 --> 00:20:02.109
the devil We are all God's creation. But the

00:20:02.109 --> 00:20:04.470
people who are God's children are the people

00:20:04.470 --> 00:20:06.890
who are doers of good, are the people who are

00:20:06.890 --> 00:20:09.390
submitted to God. And the people who are children

00:20:09.390 --> 00:20:11.869
of the devil, the people who are children of

00:20:11.869 --> 00:20:14.150
darkness are the people who reject God's ways.

00:20:16.930 --> 00:20:19.369
And we know that Satan masquerades as the angel

00:20:19.369 --> 00:20:21.490
of light. There are people who think that they

00:20:21.490 --> 00:20:24.130
are really good and all their works are good.

00:20:26.730 --> 00:20:29.430
But when you look at the root, They're pointing

00:20:29.430 --> 00:20:34.190
to separation. They're pointing to desires of

00:20:34.190 --> 00:20:38.049
the flesh. And they're actually workers of evil.

00:20:38.509 --> 00:20:40.329
They're people who feel like they're very, very

00:20:40.329 --> 00:20:42.710
good people who are actually sons of the devil.

00:20:43.269 --> 00:20:48.230
I was one of them. I thought in new age, well,

00:20:48.230 --> 00:20:50.309
I'm trying to help people and give them new coping

00:20:50.309 --> 00:20:52.650
mechanisms. And I don't try to purposely hurt

00:20:52.650 --> 00:20:54.589
people and do all this and telling people what

00:20:54.589 --> 00:20:56.390
they want to hear and like, you know, trying

00:20:56.390 --> 00:20:58.089
to make them feel good about themselves and all

00:20:58.089 --> 00:20:59.769
this, all these things. And I realized later

00:20:59.769 --> 00:21:02.130
on, I was pointing them away from Jesus. I was

00:21:02.130 --> 00:21:03.509
pointing them towards themselves. I was pointing

00:21:03.509 --> 00:21:05.630
them towards fleshly desires. So even though

00:21:05.630 --> 00:21:08.410
what I was saying sounded good to the ears, and

00:21:08.410 --> 00:21:09.710
even though I felt like I had good intentions

00:21:09.710 --> 00:21:12.269
for these people. I was a worker of iniquity.

00:21:12.329 --> 00:21:14.809
I was a worker for the devil. I was a worker

00:21:14.809 --> 00:21:18.250
of wickedness. I was a child of the devil. And

00:21:18.250 --> 00:21:20.430
when I gave my life to Christ, I started walking

00:21:20.430 --> 00:21:22.250
in his ways, and I started looking like him,

00:21:22.250 --> 00:21:27.670
I was a child of God. I'm going to read some

00:21:27.670 --> 00:21:31.650
scripture to y 'all. We have Romans chapter 8,

00:21:31.829 --> 00:21:36.740
and this is the CSB. Therefore, There is now

00:21:36.740 --> 00:21:40.079
no condemnation in Christ Jesus because the law

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:42.940
of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus Has set

00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:45.779
you free from the law of sin and death for what

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:48.380
the law could not do since it was weakened by

00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:52.700
the flesh God did He condemned sin in the flesh

00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:55.440
by sending his own son and the likeness of sinful

00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.529
flesh as a sin offering Order that the laws requirement

00:21:59.529 --> 00:22:02.950
would be fulfilled and us who do not walk according

00:22:02.950 --> 00:22:04.970
to the flesh but according to the spirit I want

00:22:04.970 --> 00:22:08.849
to pause this right here y 'all As I said in

00:22:08.849 --> 00:22:10.410
the beginning of this podcast episode the only

00:22:10.410 --> 00:22:12.470
way into heaven is Jesus Christ That's because

00:22:12.470 --> 00:22:14.430
every single one of us has committed already

00:22:14.430 --> 00:22:19.930
way too many sins To go to heaven We we are not

00:22:19.930 --> 00:22:23.809
eligible to be in the eternal presence of God

00:22:26.269 --> 00:22:29.730
Every single one of us and I've said in a previous

00:22:29.730 --> 00:22:31.930
podcast episode and reading the book of Ephesians

00:22:31.930 --> 00:22:35.450
that we are saved By faith through grace like

00:22:35.450 --> 00:22:37.509
our faith in Jesus Christ given to us by the

00:22:37.509 --> 00:22:41.410
grace of God is What gives us the ability to

00:22:41.410 --> 00:22:44.029
go into heaven because every single one of us

00:22:44.029 --> 00:22:49.490
was sinful? God sent Jesus Christ down Jesus

00:22:49.490 --> 00:22:53.109
Christ was here. He was tempted, but he was not

00:22:53.109 --> 00:23:00.220
sinful and his spilling the blood on the cross.

00:23:00.869 --> 00:23:04.710
Was the payment for our sins so when we put our

00:23:04.710 --> 00:23:06.589
faith in him not just confessing him as Lord

00:23:06.589 --> 00:23:08.750
with our mouth but with our hearts and believe

00:23:08.750 --> 00:23:10.970
in what he did and we believe that he was risen

00:23:10.970 --> 00:23:12.829
from the dead and we believe that he ascended

00:23:12.829 --> 00:23:14.549
into heaven and we believe that he is going to

00:23:14.549 --> 00:23:17.190
come back and establish the new like we're gonna

00:23:17.190 --> 00:23:18.829
have eternal life with him and he's gonna come

00:23:18.829 --> 00:23:21.269
back and Wickedness has already been defeated

00:23:21.269 --> 00:23:23.509
when Jesus Christ went to the cross. He already

00:23:23.509 --> 00:23:25.569
the few wickedness We already know from reading

00:23:25.569 --> 00:23:27.970
the book of Revelation that one day Satan is

00:23:27.970 --> 00:23:30.690
going to be like total So the people right now

00:23:30.690 --> 00:23:33.369
who are children of darkness, the people right

00:23:33.369 --> 00:23:35.150
now who are serving the devil, who are serving

00:23:35.150 --> 00:23:38.130
witchcraft, any of that, there is no winning

00:23:38.130 --> 00:23:41.589
battle here. They are already on the losing team.

00:23:42.130 --> 00:23:44.710
It has already been spoken. It has already been

00:23:44.710 --> 00:23:47.690
prophesied. Jesus has already said it. When we

00:23:47.690 --> 00:23:49.650
read the Bible, we already know what is going

00:23:49.650 --> 00:23:53.269
to happen. We already know that Satan is going

00:23:53.269 --> 00:23:55.190
to be bound. We already know that he's going

00:23:55.190 --> 00:23:57.150
to be destroyed We already know that one day

00:23:57.150 --> 00:24:01.150
every knee will bow It's not a matter of if it's

00:24:01.150 --> 00:24:06.029
a matter of when So everyone who is a worker

00:24:06.029 --> 00:24:08.990
of evil worker of iniquity a child of the devil

00:24:08.990 --> 00:24:11.950
is gonna follow him into the pit of hell and

00:24:11.950 --> 00:24:14.890
That wasn't God's intent for us. God created

00:24:14.890 --> 00:24:18.630
held not for us But for Satan and for the fallen

00:24:18.630 --> 00:24:24.930
angels And Satan is around tempting us away from

00:24:24.930 --> 00:24:28.710
God and to follow him. And for some people they

00:24:28.710 --> 00:24:30.529
outwardly worship Satan, but for other people

00:24:30.529 --> 00:24:32.450
they worship themselves, their emotions, their

00:24:32.450 --> 00:24:34.210
thoughts, their feelings. And because they're

00:24:34.210 --> 00:24:35.910
not worshiping God, they're worshiping self.

00:24:36.210 --> 00:24:41.089
That is the separation. And we choose, I want

00:24:41.089 --> 00:24:44.329
to be so clear with this, we choose in this lifetime

00:24:44.329 --> 00:24:47.230
if we want eternity with the Heavenly Father

00:24:47.230 --> 00:24:50.509
or separation. And that is do we put our faith

00:24:50.509 --> 00:24:53.970
in Jesus Christ? Do we confess him with our mouths

00:24:53.970 --> 00:24:56.190
and with our heart and once you have your faith

00:24:56.190 --> 00:24:59.910
in him You and you're walking with him your life

00:24:59.910 --> 00:25:01.589
start to look different We talked about that

00:25:01.589 --> 00:25:03.690
in the last episode of works and where works

00:25:03.690 --> 00:25:06.410
fit in You cannot encounter Jesus believe in

00:25:06.410 --> 00:25:13.190
Jesus and not actually be changed You don't go

00:25:13.190 --> 00:25:15.730
to heaven because you're a good person you go

00:25:15.730 --> 00:25:18.630
to heaven because of your faith in Jesus Because

00:25:18.630 --> 00:25:20.710
when you put your faith in Him, His blood covers

00:25:20.710 --> 00:25:24.029
you and pays your basically admission fee. It

00:25:24.029 --> 00:25:27.609
pays your debt. And when you go before the Heavenly

00:25:27.609 --> 00:25:30.569
Father, Jesus is able to intercede on your behalf

00:25:30.569 --> 00:25:33.049
and say, this one had their faith in me, they're

00:25:33.049 --> 00:25:37.869
covered. It is through Jesus. I'm going to move

00:25:37.869 --> 00:25:41.809
forward here. For those who live according to

00:25:41.809 --> 00:25:44.450
the flesh, have their minds set on things of

00:25:44.450 --> 00:25:47.089
the flesh. But those who live according to the

00:25:47.089 --> 00:25:49.460
Spirit, have their mind set on things of the

00:25:49.460 --> 00:25:52.200
spirit. Now the mindset of the flesh is death,

00:25:52.539 --> 00:25:55.460
but the mindset of the spirit is life and peace.

00:25:58.539 --> 00:26:01.839
How we talked about, y 'all, that the works of

00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:06.259
the flesh lead to death. Death here is spiritual

00:26:06.259 --> 00:26:10.740
death, eternal separation from God. And I said

00:26:10.740 --> 00:26:14.269
this earlier in the podcast, For those who have

00:26:14.269 --> 00:26:16.690
spent their lives rejecting God, you don't know

00:26:16.690 --> 00:26:21.890
a life truly without God. A life truly without

00:26:21.890 --> 00:26:24.890
God is the absence of all the good things in

00:26:24.890 --> 00:26:27.150
this world. You think you know a life without

00:26:27.150 --> 00:26:30.430
God, you do not. You think you know a life without

00:26:30.430 --> 00:26:34.730
goodness, you do not. Every good thing that you

00:26:34.730 --> 00:26:39.109
have experienced in your life is from God, and

00:26:39.109 --> 00:26:42.329
that's who you thank for it. And when you have

00:26:42.329 --> 00:26:45.089
eternal separation, you do not have that goodness.

00:26:45.130 --> 00:26:49.329
You don't. And the works of the flesh, the your

00:26:49.329 --> 00:26:52.529
truth, your thoughts, your understanding, your

00:26:52.529 --> 00:26:56.670
temporary hearts desires, what you want, the

00:26:56.670 --> 00:26:59.049
inclinations of the flesh, that is where it will

00:26:59.049 --> 00:27:02.509
leave you, is to eternal separation. Is where

00:27:02.509 --> 00:27:04.410
you go before, because every single one of us

00:27:04.410 --> 00:27:09.430
is gonna have to go before God when we die. And

00:27:09.430 --> 00:27:12.240
that is when you'll hear, You worker of iniquity,

00:27:12.380 --> 00:27:14.519
I never knew you. Depart from me for I never

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.660
knew you. The people who confess with their lips

00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:21.539
but not with their heart, who outwardly confess

00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:23.900
that they believe but they didn't have in their

00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:28.400
heart that they believed, they didn't truly accept

00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:32.740
Jesus Christ, that works of the flesh, that is

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:38.099
where you're led. Now we know that the works

00:27:38.099 --> 00:27:46.380
of the spirit what leads now I want to be so

00:27:46.380 --> 00:27:52.079
clear that works do not buy your way into heaven

00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.240
we know that from reading Ephesians so that way

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:57.539
no one may boast but your works are a sign of

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:59.920
what Jesus is doing in you eternally internally

00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:04.019
your external is a sign of what's happening internal

00:28:04.019 --> 00:28:07.819
you cannot believe in Christ and be walking with

00:28:07.819 --> 00:28:13.910
him and not experience changes We'll go we can

00:28:13.910 --> 00:28:16.109
go further to read in the book of Romans that

00:28:16.109 --> 00:28:19.250
or this is actually in the book of John Sorry

00:28:19.250 --> 00:28:22.750
that those who love the Lord are going to live

00:28:22.750 --> 00:28:27.829
like the Lord When you love Christ you start

00:28:27.829 --> 00:28:35.190
to live like And the world especially our generation

00:28:35.190 --> 00:28:40.450
has this painted up a version of love That isn't

00:28:40.450 --> 00:28:42.250
the same as Christ like love I've talked about

00:28:42.250 --> 00:28:43.930
this in previous episodes y 'all that for the

00:28:43.930 --> 00:28:45.609
longest time I thought I was showing love to

00:28:45.609 --> 00:28:47.710
other people and then once I truly experienced

00:28:47.710 --> 00:28:49.349
the love of Jesus I realized that the love I

00:28:49.349 --> 00:28:51.430
was giving to other people wasn't actual love

00:28:51.430 --> 00:28:53.829
because it wasn't leading them back to Jesus.

00:28:53.930 --> 00:28:59.950
It wasn't truth -based I Thought love was making

00:28:59.950 --> 00:29:01.930
other people just feel comfortable and making

00:29:01.930 --> 00:29:03.789
other people feel good about themselves and not

00:29:03.789 --> 00:29:06.009
willing to cause a stir Or anything like that

00:29:06.009 --> 00:29:08.069
and I look back and I realized like no that was

00:29:08.069 --> 00:29:16.920
not love That was comfortability. That was me

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:18.819
keeping other people comfortable. That was me

00:29:18.819 --> 00:29:20.920
keeping myself comfortable, avoiding conflict,

00:29:21.099 --> 00:29:24.240
avoiding dramatic things, telling people what

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.960
they want to hear, but that wasn't Christ -like

00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:28.839
love, because Christ -like love is rooted in

00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:36.720
truth. And I'm speaking so passionately with

00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:41.690
y 'all about this today. because I know what

00:29:41.690 --> 00:29:46.470
it's like to need to hear this and I wish I heard

00:29:46.470 --> 00:29:49.809
it and had ears to hear the way that I'm saying

00:29:49.809 --> 00:29:53.589
it to y 'all now because I truly believe that

00:29:53.589 --> 00:29:56.109
what I was doing when I was in new age when I

00:29:56.109 --> 00:29:58.470
was listening to my truth and my da -da -da -da

00:29:58.470 --> 00:30:04.829
-da was the best way and glory be to God I had

00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:07.720
He gave me eyes to see and ears to hear when

00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.920
I started seeking him with all my heart I want

00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:13.240
to tell you all this I had the most hardened

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:18.779
heart You know before I started seeking the Lord

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:20.680
someone probably could have said all these things

00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.000
to me and I would have just seen them as Judgmental

00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.119
and I would have just closed out whatever they

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:30.640
had to say and move forward But it was when I

00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:34.819
started reading my Bible started praying to God

00:30:34.819 --> 00:30:37.359
and started slowly submitting and surrendering

00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:43.319
things that I started to be humbled and I started

00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:46.119
the scab started to fall off of my eyes and ears

00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:49.200
and I could start to see things in a different

00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:57.000
way I was open to my truth not being the truth

00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:01.460
and once I was open to that I was able to accept

00:31:01.460 --> 00:31:09.799
the truth Jesus Christ and y 'all I I didn't

00:31:09.799 --> 00:31:13.119
want to like for the longest time in all honesty

00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:19.299
I didn't want I feel like when we experience

00:31:21.579 --> 00:31:23.200
testimonies in our lives and transformations

00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.220
things that God pulled us out of that ends up

00:31:26.220 --> 00:31:28.559
being a community or a group of people that were

00:31:28.559 --> 00:31:31.660
able to relate to and speak to and for a long

00:31:31.660 --> 00:31:34.900
time I was like To be so real with y 'all. I

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:36.480
was telling God. I don't want to speak to the

00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:38.940
New Age community I don't want to speak to the

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:42.299
witches. I don't want to speak to the diviners

00:31:42.299 --> 00:31:44.240
I don't want it like that's I don't want that

00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:48.150
to be my one of my target audiences Because I

00:31:48.150 --> 00:31:50.269
noticed so many of them I'm just judge I just

00:31:50.269 --> 00:31:52.849
sound judgmental and ignorant and close -minded

00:31:52.849 --> 00:31:56.170
and all these things and like There were some

00:31:56.170 --> 00:31:59.730
that had real we're not afraid to do evil things

00:31:59.730 --> 00:32:04.609
Y 'all when I was in New Age, I I met some people

00:32:04.609 --> 00:32:08.109
Okay, who were not afraid to make legit deals

00:32:08.109 --> 00:32:15.299
with demons to spill blood To sacra like I there

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:18.299
are some people who there there are no bounds.

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:20.779
There are none of that and I was like God I don't

00:32:20.779 --> 00:32:25.480
want to I don't want to Directly talk to these

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:28.839
people. I don't want the drama that's gonna come

00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:32.759
along with it. That was honestly Where I was

00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.220
rooted in for so long. I was like, I don't want

00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:38.420
to be attached to that group I don't want that.

00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.279
I have a new I'm a new creation in Christ. Can

00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:44.940
I like let that go? Dealt with you know substance.

00:32:45.099 --> 00:32:47.380
Can I talk to those people in the Lord? Yes,

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:51.420
you can talk to those people I've dealt I've

00:32:51.420 --> 00:32:54.140
dealt with and security I've dealt with a modesty

00:32:54.140 --> 00:32:55.940
can't talk to those people and God has used me

00:32:55.940 --> 00:32:58.339
to talk to those people too But he has really

00:32:58.339 --> 00:33:00.460
showed me you need to talk to the people who

00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:02.940
are living in their own truth You need to talk

00:33:02.940 --> 00:33:04.880
to the people who are embracing new age. You

00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:06.440
need to talk to the people who are embracing

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.099
witchcraft I'm telling y 'all today. Stop putting

00:33:09.099 --> 00:33:11.190
your faith in those angel numbers There are so

00:33:11.190 --> 00:33:13.269
many people who hear because they're called angel

00:33:13.269 --> 00:33:15.730
numbers. I know people who are trying to follow

00:33:15.730 --> 00:33:18.170
the Lord, but are also looking at angel numbers

00:33:18.170 --> 00:33:22.470
for confirmation. No, I'm not saying that God

00:33:22.470 --> 00:33:26.990
can't use numbers to catch your attention. I'm

00:33:26.990 --> 00:33:29.650
not saying because I never want to put God into

00:33:29.650 --> 00:33:35.710
a box. But repetitive numbers, number patterns

00:33:35.710 --> 00:33:40.529
should not be Soul alone a confirmation or me

00:33:40.529 --> 00:33:42.269
y 'all when I was in New Age spirituality when

00:33:42.269 --> 00:33:45.569
I would see like One one one I would think oh

00:33:45.569 --> 00:33:47.950
well This is a new beginning or when I'd be thinking

00:33:47.950 --> 00:33:49.769
a thought and I would look and see like angel

00:33:49.769 --> 00:33:52.690
numbers I would think of confirmation Yep, this

00:33:52.690 --> 00:33:55.549
is true. Put my faith in this believe in this

00:33:55.549 --> 00:33:58.349
and I started thinking I was like how many times

00:33:58.349 --> 00:34:02.759
I write this down the devil sees this too How

00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:05.460
many times like once I started putting my faith

00:34:05.460 --> 00:34:07.559
in the Lord I started thinking of the things

00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:09.500
that when I would see angel numbers I would think

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:11.780
confirmation or this is a good sign or this is

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:13.800
a thing and then when I would hold it up to scripture

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.019
I'm like wait scripture tells me the exact opposite

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:18.440
like I'd be looking at like I'd be thinking about

00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:21.699
a person I was into For a time right and then

00:34:21.699 --> 00:34:23.699
some angel numbers 11 11 will pop up and I'll

00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:25.599
be like oh well I'm thinking about them and everything

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:27.239
and these numbers are popping up this must be

00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:29.980
my person and Then when I hold up to scripture

00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:31.639
And I'm thinking of that person, the quality

00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.280
is that person of like, just saying like, what

00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:35.800
is love? Love is patient, love is kind, love

00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.900
is not boastful. And the person I'm thinking

00:34:37.900 --> 00:34:42.340
about is impatient, unkind, very boastful, leads

00:34:42.340 --> 00:34:44.239
me to lust, one to lead me to the bedroom and

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:46.639
all these things. And it's like, huh, the angel

00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:48.400
numbers are telling me this is a good thing.

00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:50.179
But when I hold up to scripture, this is everything

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:52.659
God says not to participate in. This is everything

00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:57.739
God tells me to stay away from. I'm not saying

00:34:57.739 --> 00:35:03.199
that God cannot use Something like that to catch

00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:07.260
your attention But I am saying that you should

00:35:07.260 --> 00:35:10.099
have you should be testing things with the word

00:35:10.099 --> 00:35:16.260
you should be taking things to God a New age

00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:18.639
has really gotten people to put their faith in

00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:22.579
anything outside of God to meditate with crystals

00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:25.539
and that'll heal you to Put crystals on your

00:35:25.539 --> 00:35:27.760
body now cleanse you from negative energy and

00:35:27.760 --> 00:35:30.869
protect you and all this stuff to veil to incense,

00:35:31.050 --> 00:35:34.449
to do all of these things. New age really gets

00:35:34.449 --> 00:35:37.070
people in like doing offerings and whether or

00:35:37.070 --> 00:35:38.989
not they realize that new age is actually really,

00:35:38.989 --> 00:35:43.449
really works based, right? And I've spoken on

00:35:43.449 --> 00:35:47.010
this before, y 'all, that new age actually is

00:35:47.010 --> 00:35:51.110
like hell for someone who has control problems,

00:35:51.710 --> 00:35:54.309
anxiety, like anything like that, because at

00:35:54.309 --> 00:35:56.659
first it looks like a dream. Right if you're

00:35:56.659 --> 00:35:58.679
if you're someone who feels like you have no

00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:00.860
control over you're just looking for a sense

00:36:00.860 --> 00:36:04.760
of control and you're just like Looking for empowerment

00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:07.019
like new age actually seems like the perfect

00:36:07.019 --> 00:36:09.360
thing That's why a lot of people get into new

00:36:09.360 --> 00:36:11.800
age a lot of people get into witchcraft Because

00:36:11.800 --> 00:36:13.639
it feels like empowering it feels like you can

00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:15.539
take control It feels like you can deal justice

00:36:15.539 --> 00:36:17.579
or like you you can have some inside knowledge

00:36:17.579 --> 00:36:21.739
and all these things but When you subscribe to

00:36:21.739 --> 00:36:24.639
an ideal that becomes you are your own savior,

00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:28.480
you are your own creator, you are all these things,

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:33.840
guess what? When it starts inevitably going bad,

00:36:35.380 --> 00:36:38.599
when you inevitably see that you're on a hamster

00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:42.340
wheel of just going round and round and round

00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:45.190
and round and round. When you keep going through

00:36:45.190 --> 00:36:47.750
all the they call it shadow work in new age and

00:36:47.750 --> 00:36:50.190
realize that there's just more and more and like

00:36:50.190 --> 00:36:55.650
you keep going back to the same thing Eventually

00:36:55.650 --> 00:37:00.610
You're the one to blame you and that is hell

00:37:00.610 --> 00:37:04.389
for someone like y 'all for me when I it started

00:37:04.389 --> 00:37:06.489
off for me like the most empowering thing of

00:37:06.489 --> 00:37:08.869
like oh I can manifest this and I can create

00:37:08.869 --> 00:37:11.250
this and I can do all this and then all of a

00:37:11.250 --> 00:37:12.889
sudden when I was putting in all these works,

00:37:13.210 --> 00:37:14.590
I was doing all these meditations, I was doing

00:37:14.590 --> 00:37:16.289
all these mantras, I was doing all these things

00:37:16.289 --> 00:37:20.070
and things still kept going downhill. Weapons

00:37:20.070 --> 00:37:23.949
forming still appeared to prosper. I kept seeing

00:37:23.949 --> 00:37:26.429
things slipping through this happening that happening

00:37:26.429 --> 00:37:28.929
my mental health, you know things I thought were

00:37:28.929 --> 00:37:31.130
healed Revealed to me they were not healed and

00:37:31.130 --> 00:37:33.110
they were just manifesting in another area all

00:37:33.110 --> 00:37:35.650
these things I started to be the one solely to

00:37:35.650 --> 00:37:38.489
blame too It became a real works whereas like

00:37:38.489 --> 00:37:40.710
maybe I'm just not working hard enough Maybe

00:37:40.710 --> 00:37:42.690
I'm just not maybe I seem to work more and I

00:37:42.690 --> 00:37:44.690
need to do this more and I need to do that more

00:37:44.690 --> 00:37:48.510
they end up turning into like a Workspace thing

00:37:48.510 --> 00:37:52.190
of just not good enough And for someone who already

00:37:52.190 --> 00:37:55.090
has like a control thing that actually turns

00:37:55.090 --> 00:37:59.650
from empowerment into like hell Because when

00:37:59.650 --> 00:38:01.849
we read the gospel we know the truth that we

00:38:01.849 --> 00:38:05.289
are not our own Savior Jesus is our Savior That

00:38:05.289 --> 00:38:09.489
we cannot do anything apart from him He is the

00:38:09.489 --> 00:38:12.170
vine his father the vine dresser. We are merely

00:38:12.170 --> 00:38:16.230
the branches everything good comes from him He

00:38:16.230 --> 00:38:19.820
is the living well We're supposed to be coming

00:38:19.820 --> 00:38:24.079
to him daily for our daily bread Those beliefs

00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:27.159
I was subscribing to were very anti scripture

00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:31.340
Very anti scripture very anti truth no matter

00:38:31.340 --> 00:38:35.539
how good They felt to the ears And that's a real

00:38:35.539 --> 00:38:37.800
thing that you have to be so watchful for that

00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:40.019
new age has gotten really good with y 'all is

00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:45.000
it takes relative truths That's what manifestation

00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:48.210
is in itself is a relative truth Like it takes

00:38:48.210 --> 00:38:50.710
a little bit of biblical truth, but it puts its

00:38:50.710 --> 00:38:55.949
own spin on it. I've said in many episodes that

00:38:55.949 --> 00:38:58.590
the devil is great with deception and the difference

00:38:58.590 --> 00:39:01.510
between an out like just lie and deception is

00:39:01.510 --> 00:39:03.269
deception has some kind of truth in it. It's

00:39:03.269 --> 00:39:05.909
a lot easier to believe something when there's

00:39:05.909 --> 00:39:08.929
a little bit of truth that you can verify. We

00:39:08.929 --> 00:39:12.369
know that scripture says that power lies in the

00:39:12.369 --> 00:39:14.409
tongue, right? That you can be speaking death

00:39:14.409 --> 00:39:18.730
and that you can be speaking life. we know that

00:39:18.730 --> 00:39:21.110
scripture says like whatever you ask for and

00:39:21.110 --> 00:39:23.769
faith will be given to you and what does new

00:39:23.769 --> 00:39:25.710
age say new age starts to say well you're the

00:39:25.710 --> 00:39:28.550
creator and Whatever you think if you think about

00:39:28.550 --> 00:39:30.670
it enough if you envision it enough and you believe

00:39:30.670 --> 00:39:34.630
it enough It'll happen and that you could you

00:39:34.630 --> 00:39:38.650
know I truly believed y 'all when I was in New

00:39:38.650 --> 00:39:40.690
Age that everything around me was the result

00:39:40.690 --> 00:39:42.650
of what I was speaking. That if I spoke enough

00:39:42.650 --> 00:39:45.010
life and positivity, I would see life. And if

00:39:45.010 --> 00:39:46.550
I just spoke enough death, I would start seeing

00:39:46.550 --> 00:39:48.250
death. And when bad things were happening, maybe

00:39:48.250 --> 00:39:50.030
I was just speaking too much. I was coming into

00:39:50.030 --> 00:39:54.230
too much agreement. And I felt like those things,

00:39:54.469 --> 00:39:56.829
because of like my memory of some things I had

00:39:56.829 --> 00:40:00.070
heard in scripture, like it felt believable enough

00:40:00.070 --> 00:40:05.090
to me. New Age took... the truth of God and put

00:40:05.090 --> 00:40:09.409
its own wicked spin on it. Now I know that whatever

00:40:09.409 --> 00:40:12.250
I ask for in prayer, if it is in God's will,

00:40:12.969 --> 00:40:15.750
if it aligns with His will, if I'm praying to

00:40:15.750 --> 00:40:18.670
God like, God give me this wicked thing, this

00:40:18.670 --> 00:40:20.909
sinful thing, He's not going to give that to

00:40:20.909 --> 00:40:25.710
me. If I'm asking Him for something that aligns

00:40:25.710 --> 00:40:29.050
with His will for my life, that aligns with Scripture,

00:40:29.590 --> 00:40:34.909
asking you shall receive. there's so many people

00:40:34.909 --> 00:40:39.469
led astray right now by relative truths and There

00:40:39.469 --> 00:40:42.369
is this idea that is coming after so many people

00:40:42.369 --> 00:40:44.570
that you can just decide what is true and what

00:40:44.570 --> 00:40:48.030
isn't true That was what got me a new age y 'all

00:40:48.030 --> 00:40:50.750
But Jesus came here to testify like that. That's

00:40:50.750 --> 00:40:54.150
not it. Jesus came here to testify to the truth.

00:40:54.309 --> 00:41:01.489
He was the truth And when you read The word of

00:41:01.489 --> 00:41:03.289
God I want to be very clear y 'all the Bible

00:41:03.289 --> 00:41:08.809
is the word of God There are people who say well

00:41:08.809 --> 00:41:12.010
it was men who wrote the book men wrote the book,

00:41:12.010 --> 00:41:16.230
but God was moving through them everything I'm

00:41:16.230 --> 00:41:21.590
holding up this Bible right now is God inspired

00:41:21.590 --> 00:41:27.269
everything in here is a testament to God's character

00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:31.539
So when I read it doesn't matter that a man wrote

00:41:31.539 --> 00:41:33.380
it with his hand every word that I'm reading

00:41:33.380 --> 00:41:38.300
in this Bible I know is the word of God and Every

00:41:38.300 --> 00:41:41.000
word in this Bible I take as truth over what

00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:43.519
I think over what I feel over what the world

00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:45.599
around me tries to say and I would tell y 'all

00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:47.599
right now when I started living my life that

00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:50.239
way I saw breakthroughs. I never saw before in

00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:52.639
my life. I saw protection. I've never seen before

00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:55.579
in my life I had clarity, understanding that

00:41:55.579 --> 00:41:57.760
I'd never seen before in my life. I had things

00:41:57.760 --> 00:41:59.579
broken off of me that I never thought were gonna

00:41:59.579 --> 00:42:01.679
be broken off of me. Y 'all, I was told that

00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:04.659
I was gonna have to live with, I rarely spoke

00:42:04.659 --> 00:42:06.840
about this, but there was a supernatural healing

00:42:06.840 --> 00:42:09.079
that the Lord did in me. I was told when I was

00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:11.039
14, I had epilepsy and I would have to live with

00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.159
that for the rest of my life. When I put my faith

00:42:13.159 --> 00:42:15.639
in the Lord Jesus Christ and gave my life to

00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:19.440
Him, I felt, I knew He made a promise to me that

00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:22.829
He was gonna break that off of me. That I was

00:42:22.829 --> 00:42:26.130
no longer going to have that disorder and he

00:42:26.130 --> 00:42:28.550
broke that off with me glory be to God medication

00:42:28.550 --> 00:42:33.929
free I Was told I was gonna have to deal with

00:42:33.929 --> 00:42:36.849
my depression my anxiety my PTSD my eating disorder

00:42:36.849 --> 00:42:39.170
for the rest of my life I saw so many counselors

00:42:39.170 --> 00:42:42.889
throughout my young adult years and my early

00:42:42.889 --> 00:42:45.869
preteen teenagers And I saw it was gonna be something

00:42:45.869 --> 00:42:47.309
I was gonna have to medicate and have to deal

00:42:47.309 --> 00:42:51.380
with I was told I was too self -aware And that

00:42:51.380 --> 00:42:53.480
there really wasn't much they could do for me.

00:42:53.659 --> 00:42:55.980
And the Lord broke those things off of me. He

00:42:55.980 --> 00:43:00.900
delivered me. The lust that I used to subscribe

00:43:00.900 --> 00:43:02.119
to and I thought, well, I'm just going to be

00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:05.840
a lustful person. Broken off of me. The addiction,

00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:07.940
addicted to nicotine for over 10 years I thought

00:43:07.940 --> 00:43:10.019
was never going to be broken off. Broken off

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:14.199
of me. There were relationships, familial relationships

00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:16.280
I had that were never good, from as young as

00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:18.570
I could remember. I went no contact with those

00:43:18.570 --> 00:43:20.170
people for years and thought I was never going

00:43:20.170 --> 00:43:22.050
to get that back And it was never going to be

00:43:22.050 --> 00:43:24.269
healthy. We could never move on. God proved me

00:43:24.269 --> 00:43:28.349
wrong Restored those relationships and made them

00:43:28.349 --> 00:43:30.090
healthier than they had ever been before when

00:43:30.090 --> 00:43:34.090
they were Christ -centered Restored my reputation

00:43:34.090 --> 00:43:38.449
Restored my finances restore. I'm telling y 'all

00:43:38.449 --> 00:43:41.630
today that I am a living testimony And it was

00:43:41.630 --> 00:43:44.829
not my own works. It was me submitting to God

00:43:44.829 --> 00:43:47.349
and it was God working through my submission

00:43:47.349 --> 00:43:53.030
I'm here today to tell you as a living breathing

00:43:53.030 --> 00:43:55.269
testimony and y 'all i'm only a year a little

00:43:55.269 --> 00:43:58.050
over a year in I've only been walking submitted

00:43:58.050 --> 00:44:00.250
for a little over a year check back in in five

00:44:00.250 --> 00:44:02.769
years Check back in in 10 years. I'm still going

00:44:02.769 --> 00:44:05.230
through sanctification right now and he's already

00:44:05.230 --> 00:44:08.250
done this much And i'm not saying this from a

00:44:08.250 --> 00:44:09.949
boastful place. I'm saying this from look at

00:44:09.949 --> 00:44:13.710
me If I could move from what I was doing in my

00:44:13.710 --> 00:44:16.710
life and be where I am just a little over a year

00:44:16.710 --> 00:44:21.829
in, He can do that for you too. It's not that

00:44:21.829 --> 00:44:24.329
I said some special prayer or that I'm perfect

00:44:24.329 --> 00:44:28.469
or that I'm just some kind of special. God made

00:44:28.469 --> 00:44:30.949
that very clear to me when I was giving my life

00:44:30.949 --> 00:44:32.429
to Him. He said, I'm going to restore you and

00:44:32.429 --> 00:44:34.190
I'm going to use you as a testimony to other

00:44:34.190 --> 00:44:37.030
people. Your life is going to be glorifying me.

00:44:37.769 --> 00:44:40.110
People are gonna see your glory people are gonna

00:44:40.110 --> 00:44:41.949
see my glory through the way that you live your

00:44:41.949 --> 00:44:44.929
life God told me that my life and my testimony

00:44:44.929 --> 00:44:47.909
what he did was gonna glorify him that people

00:44:47.909 --> 00:44:51.369
are gonna see him through me and That wasn't

00:44:51.369 --> 00:44:53.730
because I was so extra special or perfect or

00:44:53.730 --> 00:44:55.349
deserving or all these things because I said

00:44:55.349 --> 00:44:58.730
special prayers or did special works But was

00:44:58.730 --> 00:45:00.889
through my surrender and my obedience to him.

00:45:00.889 --> 00:45:05.699
He could do anything So I'm telling y 'all that

00:45:05.699 --> 00:45:08.619
because it is possible for you to I don't care

00:45:08.619 --> 00:45:10.599
how long you've been in new age I don't care

00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:12.739
how long you've been a witch I don't care how

00:45:12.739 --> 00:45:14.179
long you've been in divination. I don't care

00:45:14.179 --> 00:45:15.800
how long you've been in lust I don't care how

00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:17.619
long you've been fornicating. I don't care how

00:45:17.619 --> 00:45:23.139
long you've been in active lying deceiving Lustful,

00:45:23.380 --> 00:45:25.920
I don't care if you're exactly like Jezebel right

00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:29.719
now if you humble your heart seek him with all

00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:32.170
your heart Watch what he can do in your life.

00:45:32.369 --> 00:45:34.550
There is no condemnation for those who are in

00:45:34.550 --> 00:45:36.289
Christ Jesus. I just read that scripture to y

00:45:36.289 --> 00:45:39.050
'all. Meaning, it doesn't matter what you have

00:45:39.050 --> 00:45:40.949
done in your past. When you are covered in the

00:45:40.949 --> 00:45:43.250
blood of Jesus, when you go before the Heavenly

00:45:43.250 --> 00:45:46.429
Father, he's gonna be able, Jesus is gonna be

00:45:46.429 --> 00:45:49.170
able to step in and say, they're covered. Cover

00:45:49.170 --> 00:45:51.929
them. I'm telling y 'all today that the first

00:45:51.929 --> 00:45:54.610
step is just seeking him with all your heart.

00:45:54.889 --> 00:45:57.440
Start reading scripture. Start praying to God

00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.000
for understanding. Start praying that he changes

00:46:00.000 --> 00:46:05.559
your heart. Be open. Humble yourself. Fast. Someone

00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:07.719
needs to hear that today. That was the quickest

00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:09.780
way for the Lord to break down. When I was seeking

00:46:09.780 --> 00:46:12.519
him, I was also going through intermittent fasting.

00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:18.739
Denying my flesh. Start trying to deny the flesh.

00:46:19.099 --> 00:46:22.059
God says, don't divine. Quit going to the terror

00:46:22.059 --> 00:46:24.750
readers. Quit going to the zodiacs. When you

00:46:24.750 --> 00:46:27.369
have a question, pray to God. Ask that he reveals

00:46:27.369 --> 00:46:31.869
it to you and actually listen. He's been convicting

00:46:31.869 --> 00:46:34.909
you about fornicating. Stop calling up that person

00:46:34.909 --> 00:46:38.909
that you go and hook up with. Get off the dating

00:46:38.909 --> 00:46:44.190
apps. Start praying that he helps you to flee

00:46:44.190 --> 00:46:46.710
temptation. Start praying that God gives you

00:46:46.710 --> 00:46:49.050
the strength. Start praying that you lean on

00:46:49.050 --> 00:46:59.159
his own strength. I love you guys and that is

00:46:59.159 --> 00:47:01.480
why I'm sharing this with you and that is honestly

00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:05.239
I'm speaking with this authority I have today

00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:10.699
because I know from experience y 'all that if

00:47:10.699 --> 00:47:14.239
you are actively living in all these sins you

00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:18.199
need to hear this with an authoritative voice

00:47:18.199 --> 00:47:27.099
you need to hear the truth of God today I'm saying

00:47:27.099 --> 00:47:31.880
it like this because I love you You know it hits

00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:34.300
so hard today where my pastor said in today's

00:47:34.300 --> 00:47:37.739
sermon that the enemy isn't people The enemy

00:47:37.739 --> 00:47:40.659
is Satan the enemy is the devil and we're not

00:47:40.659 --> 00:47:42.920
fighting against each other. We're fighting for

00:47:42.920 --> 00:47:47.139
each other Yo, I'm gonna be praying after this

00:47:47.139 --> 00:47:49.159
podcast for every single one of you who is listening

00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:51.360
to stay I feel that conviction heavily on my

00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:56.260
heart. I Am gonna be praying for you And I'm

00:47:56.260 --> 00:47:59.559
going to be praying that the scabs fall off your

00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:01.280
eyes and off your ears. I'm going to be praying

00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:04.480
that you have a radical change in your heart

00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:09.880
too. I'm going to be fighting for you in prayer,

00:48:10.079 --> 00:48:14.079
not against you. We need to be separating the

00:48:14.079 --> 00:48:17.179
spirit from the person, y 'all. This is not a

00:48:17.179 --> 00:48:20.519
battle of flesh and blood. This is a battle of

00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:23.880
principalities. We're dealing with the lies of

00:48:23.880 --> 00:48:25.960
the enemy. We're dealing with the deception of

00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:27.659
the enemy. We're dealing with the temptation

00:48:27.659 --> 00:48:32.079
of the enemy Who's saying things that are very

00:48:32.079 --> 00:48:38.139
pleasing to the flesh I'll make this so clear

00:48:38.139 --> 00:48:41.599
You are not my enemy Whoever is listening to

00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:44.300
us today that is also submitted to Christ. Those

00:48:44.300 --> 00:48:49.420
people are not your enemy You need to be praying

00:48:49.420 --> 00:48:53.139
for them fighting for them not fighting with

00:48:53.139 --> 00:48:59.000
them, not fighting against them. I have seen

00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:02.460
what prayer can do. I have seen people deliver.

00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:09.019
I have seen people who are so sure about moving

00:49:09.019 --> 00:49:12.659
one way and defending a sin. And after taking

00:49:12.659 --> 00:49:15.900
them to the Lord in intercessory prayer, I have

00:49:15.900 --> 00:49:18.780
seen them humbled and not part broken down. I

00:49:18.780 --> 00:49:23.139
have seen them glorify God. and change their

00:49:23.139 --> 00:49:29.019
ways. It is possible. Y 'all, I have recently

00:49:29.019 --> 00:49:32.539
been on one of these podcasts I love to watch,

00:49:32.539 --> 00:49:35.599
Ryan Miller. He had a guest on a couple of times

00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:39.820
who was at one time the leader of the satanic

00:49:39.820 --> 00:49:43.420
temple in a part of Africa. I believe it was

00:49:43.420 --> 00:49:49.079
South Africa. Who at one point was trying to

00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:52.989
curse Christians. was actively going against

00:49:52.989 --> 00:49:57.250
he had radical shifts he had radical revelations

00:49:57.250 --> 00:50:00.070
and transformations gave his life to christ and

00:50:00.070 --> 00:50:02.710
he is now being used as a vessel for the lord

00:50:02.710 --> 00:50:04.889
fighting for the kingdom of heaven instead of

00:50:04.889 --> 00:50:09.590
the kingdom of darkness it is possible for you

00:50:09.590 --> 00:50:12.929
the blood i want to be so clear with this the

00:50:12.929 --> 00:50:15.929
blood of jesus conquers any demonic agreement

00:50:15.929 --> 00:50:21.500
you have come into The blood of Jesus can free

00:50:21.500 --> 00:50:24.760
you from any of that any kind of other kind of

00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:27.400
covenants You came into spiritual covenants demonic

00:50:27.400 --> 00:50:31.780
covenants, okay? Someone needs to hear that today

00:50:31.780 --> 00:50:35.000
because I knew that that was amen one of the

00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:38.000
biggest lies I kept hearing going around when

00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:39.920
I was in New Age because when I was in New Age

00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:43.480
y 'all I was socializing with all of the occultic

00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:48.280
witchcraft wiccans like Satanists like all of

00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:51.019
these different and there was like a rounding

00:50:51.019 --> 00:50:53.119
belief with all them that they didn't believe

00:50:53.119 --> 00:50:57.260
in Jesus or the blood of Jesus like that all

00:50:57.260 --> 00:50:59.380
encompassing protection they gave more authority

00:50:59.380 --> 00:51:02.340
to satan and wickedness and darkness and they

00:51:02.340 --> 00:51:05.400
really believe that like you could actually like

00:51:05.400 --> 00:51:08.179
sell your soul like like they believe and what

00:51:08.179 --> 00:51:10.719
i mean by that is that when you came into this

00:51:10.719 --> 00:51:14.440
demonic agreement or whatever like You've sold

00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:16.159
your eternal life to like okay, you're spending

00:51:16.159 --> 00:51:17.539
it with the devil or spending it with whoever

00:51:17.539 --> 00:51:21.000
and you can't give your life to Christ There

00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:23.539
are people who believe like 20 years old 30 40

00:51:23.539 --> 00:51:26.739
50 60. Well, I made this agreement I made this

00:51:26.739 --> 00:51:29.360
path this covenant whatever it doesn't matter

00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:32.500
if I try to give my life to Jesus That is a lie

00:51:32.500 --> 00:51:36.780
straight from the pit of hell Jesus can break

00:51:36.780 --> 00:51:41.159
it off of you. He has the authority Satan does

00:51:41.159 --> 00:51:52.190
not And you need to believe that. I believe that

00:51:52.190 --> 00:51:54.409
God is going to move through this episode today.

00:51:54.710 --> 00:51:56.389
I believe that there's someone who's going to

00:51:56.389 --> 00:51:58.670
be delivered. There is someone who is going to

00:51:58.670 --> 00:52:01.750
be freed. There is someone who needed to hear

00:52:01.750 --> 00:52:05.230
something that I said in this podcast today in

00:52:05.230 --> 00:52:08.659
the authoritative way I've said it. And I just

00:52:08.659 --> 00:52:11.719
want to right now speak over all of you. I rebuke

00:52:11.719 --> 00:52:15.400
the lies of the enemy I rebuke the lies that

00:52:15.400 --> 00:52:18.039
you have believed That have kept you chained

00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:20.719
up for this long and in Jesus name. I pray that

00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:22.960
you are freed I pray that you are delivered.

00:52:23.000 --> 00:52:25.820
I pray that you surrender your life to Christ

00:52:25.820 --> 00:52:28.960
I pray that you believe that he is the way he

00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:32.679
is the truth. He is the life I pray that He radically

00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:35.119
transforms your heart. I pray that your heart

00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:38.280
is humbled, that your heart is softened, and

00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:40.820
that you hear the Word of God, and that you become

00:52:40.820 --> 00:52:44.019
good fertile soil where the Word can take root

00:52:44.019 --> 00:52:46.519
and sprout and grow. And I pray that you are

00:52:46.519 --> 00:52:49.139
no longer a child of the devil, but you are a

00:52:49.139 --> 00:52:56.710
child of God. In Jesus' name. I pray that you

00:52:56.710 --> 00:52:59.130
are a champion for the Lord, that you become

00:52:59.130 --> 00:53:02.010
a living testimony and that you do things to

00:53:02.010 --> 00:53:03.869
further the kingdom of heaven and bring other

00:53:03.869 --> 00:53:10.489
people closer to Christ. Amen. I pray that you

00:53:10.489 --> 00:53:15.389
deny the flesh and submit your will to him and

00:53:15.389 --> 00:53:18.989
that you love Christ as Christ loved you and

00:53:18.989 --> 00:53:22.070
that you love one another as Christ loved you.

00:53:22.070 --> 00:53:28.519
Amen. I plead the blood of Jesus over your life

00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:31.179
today. I plead the blood of Jesus over your mind.

00:53:31.519 --> 00:53:33.079
I plead the blood of Jesus over your spirit.

00:53:33.179 --> 00:53:35.099
I plead the blood of Jesus over your heart. I

00:53:35.099 --> 00:53:36.619
plead the blood of Jesus over your friendships,

00:53:36.840 --> 00:53:38.400
over your connections, over your family, over

00:53:38.400 --> 00:53:40.539
your relationship. I plead the blood of Jesus

00:53:40.539 --> 00:53:42.860
over you, and I pray that you read the Word of

00:53:42.860 --> 00:53:44.400
God, that you know the Word of God, and that

00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:47.980
you put on the armor of God, and that you too

00:53:47.980 --> 00:53:53.179
know the authority and can stomp out the devil

00:53:53.179 --> 00:53:55.960
and that you truly know and believe that when

00:53:55.960 --> 00:53:58.579
you are covered in the blood of Christ you are

00:53:58.579 --> 00:54:01.420
on the winning team because Jesus has already

00:54:01.420 --> 00:54:03.980
secured victory when he went to the cross he

00:54:03.980 --> 00:54:06.219
already defeated death and defeated the devil

00:54:06.219 --> 00:54:11.119
it's not if it's when and I pray that you believe

00:54:11.119 --> 00:54:14.179
in that and I pray that you are filled with love

00:54:14.179 --> 00:54:21.139
right now like God's love just wraps around you

00:54:21.589 --> 00:54:24.789
that you have a peace that surpasses all understanding

00:54:24.789 --> 00:54:27.469
from putting your faith in Christ Jesus. And

00:54:27.469 --> 00:54:29.750
you see that there is a rest that you cannot

00:54:29.750 --> 00:54:31.750
find in the world, that there is a love that

00:54:31.750 --> 00:54:33.590
you find in Jesus that you cannot find in the

00:54:33.590 --> 00:54:35.030
world, that there is a fulfillment that you find

00:54:35.030 --> 00:54:39.889
in Jesus that you cannot find in the world. That

00:54:39.889 --> 00:54:42.289
is what Jesus gives us, is he gives us a peace

00:54:42.289 --> 00:54:44.409
and a rest that surpasses all understanding that

00:54:44.409 --> 00:54:48.369
we can find nowhere else. And I pray that you

00:54:48.369 --> 00:54:51.329
see that it is not by your works, but it is by

00:54:51.329 --> 00:54:53.929
your faith and that you are freed today from

00:54:53.929 --> 00:54:56.710
the lies of the devil, from the lies of the enemy.

00:54:56.989 --> 00:55:02.349
Amen. In the name of Jesus, I pray this over

00:55:02.349 --> 00:55:06.369
your life. And in the name of Jesus, I declare

00:55:06.369 --> 00:55:10.170
that today is a new day for you and that you

00:55:10.170 --> 00:55:14.699
will be a new creation in Christ. that the Lord

00:55:14.699 --> 00:55:17.739
can use you and he will use everything from your

00:55:17.739 --> 00:55:22.099
past as a testimony and that all of these things

00:55:22.099 --> 00:55:27.280
work out for your good we know this from Romans

00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:30.800
chapter 8 verse 28 we know that all things work

00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.760
together for the good of those who love God who

00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:36.019
are called according to his purpose when you

00:55:36.019 --> 00:55:38.519
are walking in God's purpose when you are serving

00:55:38.519 --> 00:55:43.000
the spirit instead of serving the flesh When

00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:45.579
you are obeying him instead of obeying the world

00:55:45.579 --> 00:55:47.739
instead of obeying yourself instead of obeying

00:55:47.739 --> 00:55:50.619
the truth You will see how God will use every

00:55:50.619 --> 00:55:53.059
weapon forming against you for your good You

00:55:53.059 --> 00:55:56.300
will see how every plot scheme trap of the enemy

00:55:56.300 --> 00:55:59.800
will be used to glorify God and to better you

00:55:59.800 --> 00:56:01.599
in some way I'm not saying it's always gonna

00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:06.760
feel good We know Romans chapter 8 verse 18 for

00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:09.039
I consider that the sufferings of this present

00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:12.219
time are not worth Comparting with the glory

00:56:12.219 --> 00:56:14.940
that is going to be revealed to us there is suffering

00:56:14.940 --> 00:56:18.119
as followers of Christ But it is going to work

00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:20.519
for our good. We know that we will be rewarded

00:56:20.519 --> 00:56:23.059
in heaven There is a seat for us at the right

00:56:23.059 --> 00:56:27.619
hand of the Heavenly Father, okay? And I pray

00:56:27.619 --> 00:56:29.760
that you have faith and belief in that today

00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:35.380

your heart And that you see a move of god in

00:57:30.369 --> 00:57:35.289
today, pray that God changes your heart to match

00:57:35.289 --> 00:57:40.570
the desires that he has for your life. That was

00:57:40.570 --> 00:57:42.769
a prayer I prayed time and time again when I

00:57:42.769 --> 00:57:46.210
truly believed that God had good intentions for

00:57:46.210 --> 00:57:48.349
me and good plans for me and I truly started

00:57:48.349 --> 00:57:50.730
believing that his will is what's best for me

00:57:50.730 --> 00:57:53.329
not mine. I start praying, God make my heart

00:57:53.329 --> 00:57:55.969
match your heart. I want my desires to align

00:57:55.969 --> 00:57:58.980
with what you will for my life. I want to be

00:57:58.980 --> 00:58:02.579
able to walk and step with you. I want my desires,

00:58:03.159 --> 00:58:05.800
my inclinations, my goals, my dreams, my aspirations

00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:09.039
to align with your word and your will. Take out

00:58:09.039 --> 00:58:12.280
from my heart and from my desires what's not

00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:15.639
from you and replace it with desires that align.

00:58:17.789 --> 00:58:21.170
Make my heart match your will for my life, Lord.

00:58:21.289 --> 00:58:23.150
I encourage y 'all, start praying that to him.

00:58:23.429 --> 00:58:25.429
Start praying that you are not comfortable in

00:58:25.429 --> 00:58:27.530
spaces that he does not want you to be in. Pray

00:58:27.530 --> 00:58:29.250
that you don't find peace and you don't find

00:58:29.250 --> 00:58:31.110
rest in places that he has not willed for you

00:58:31.110 --> 00:58:34.650
to be in. Pray that friendships, relationships,

00:58:34.769 --> 00:58:37.349
you don't find peace, you don't find comfort

00:58:37.349 --> 00:58:39.869
in connections that the Lord has not led you

00:58:39.869 --> 00:58:45.179
to be in, does not want you to be in. Pray that

00:58:45.179 --> 00:58:48.320
environments work spaces places like that places

00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:53.320

00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:56.199
