Mark chapter 4 verse 37
it says the following and the great
windstorm arose and the waves beat
into the boat that it was already
so it so that it was
already filling and he was in the stern
asleep on the pillow and they awoke him
and said to him teacher do you not
care that we are perishing
verse 39 then he arose and rebuked the
wind
and said to the sea peace
be still and the wind seized
and there was a great call
and then he said to them why did you
wake me up
that's what he said sort of i feel like
any time
anybody wakes up whatever the reason is
you know you fix it and you're like
really
why did you wake me up you interrupted
my nap
he said why are you so fearful how is
that you have no faith
and they feared exceedingly and said to
one another who can this be
that even the wind and the sea obey him
i want you to see in the beginning what
it says in here is the great wind arose
and the waves beat on the boat
until the boat was being filled but he
was in the boat let me say it again the
great
wind you can't see the wind the wind is
something that is invisible to the eye
you can't touch the wind
you can't smell the wind
it's not visible it's an invisible
entity
and this wind the scripture says caused
the waves to be unsettled
the waves to be boisterous the waves to
arise
and these physical waves that you can
see
started to beat on the boat
and not only they were beating on the
boat they started to
fill the boat with water until to the
point that the boat
was being filled with water and
disciples
panicked and all while this was
happening
Jesus the son of God was
in the boat winds
cause waves
spiritual entities cause physical
problems
invisible entities cause visible
tangible feelable issues
for example there are waves
of addiction that are caused
by the wind of bondage
the bible says Jesus says i tell you
most a certain
most solemnly that anyone who chooses a
life of sin is
trapped in a dead end life that is in
fact a slave
that tells me that behind an addiction
is a spiritual
entity this entity is what i would call
it
a wind you can't see it but the effects
of wind
are very real a person that is addicted
to drugs
a person that may be addicted to alcohol
perhaps addicted to
gambling addicted perhaps to pornography
addicted
to some other destructive behaviors and
on the outside
these waves they beat into the boat
but they're really caused by the wind
they're caused by a spiritual entity so
our goal is not to stop the waves
our goal is to stop the wind and the
waves
will be at peace there's also a wave
of sickness that's caused by the wind
of spirit of infirmity the scripture
says and behold there was a woman who
had a spirit of infirmity 18 years
and was bent over and kid no way and and
could in no way raise her up Luke
chapter 13
verse 11. this sickness that this woman
had
was like a way people could see it it
was affecting her finances it was
affecting her
physical posture but the scripture says
that behind this wave that was
beating her boat there was a wind
causing this wave
and this wind was a spirit of infirmity
so jesus didn't pronounce healing first
he first commanded the evil spirit to
leave this woman's body
he told the wind to stop and the waves
became calm her body straightened up
and so sometimes behind a physical
repeated
chronic illness is a spiritual entity
that pushes and advances the agenda of
the devil
that's why Jesus says he came to heal
those oppressed by the devil
Jesus came to heal if you would think
they just got sick but it says oppressed
by the devil
he came to visit Peter Peter's
mother-in-law and then he rebuked
fever he didn't heal her fever he
rebuked fever
that tells me the winds cause the waves
spiritual forces
they cause physical problems there's
also a wave of poverty
or something that is physical but it
could be caused
spiritually there was a scripture in
second Samuel 21 verse 1 it says there
was a famine in the days of David for
three years
year after year and David inquired of
the Lord and the Lord said
it is because Saul and his blood thirsty
house because he killed Gibeonites
so the physical problem where for three
years they had famine
the farming died the economy tanked the
stock market went down people were
losing jobs
and David went to the Lord first year
okay that's weather second year okay
perhaps it's the weather global warming
i don't know
some kind of a thing is happening and
after the third year David is like you
know this is not normal
this is not right it's been three years
i think when it happens first time
you can blame it on circumstances
happens second time okay you're gonna
have to start getting cautious
when it happens third time you know
you're going to have to raise some
questions and start inquiring of the
Lord what is happening because these
waves are not normal
and they were caused by the wind there
were spiritual forces and entities that
were causing
financial calamity in the time of david
and David dealt with it and when he
dealt with the wind
the waves became calm there is also a
wave
of accident prone of accidents
when you constantly have unexplainable
accidents car accidents work injuries
gym injuries and you're you know
following the rules you're doing all the
right stuff doing
doing it properly and you constantly
have accidents
and then you trace it down your family
tree and you realize you're not the only
one
people are constantly missing limbs
missing fingers or missing other stuff
in the family there's
accidents that is happening to them
always at work and they're always either
on this ability
and so some of us can look at that and
say well he's just not lucky
well can i remind you of a verse in the
bible where
Joshua conquered Jericho and he
pronounced a curse
over the city of Jericho now the guy who
bought the city who became the king did
not do
an investigation spiritual investigation
he starts building a house
and the bible says the moment he builds
the walls one of his sons die
the moment he finishes the gates another
son dies
so there was this accident the fact that
two of his kids died prematurely
was not an accident it was a consequence
what am i saying sometimes people move
into the houses the people committed
suicides
witchcraft was practiced people get cars
sometimes they were devoted to demons
and were transporting the drugs
and someone would say well what you're
just kind of pushing it a little bit too
far
and the next thing that happens in that
car you have an accident and you die
somebody else dies and then there were
if you read the break free
book i have a whole thing about a
particular card that was used in
Hollywood
every actor that bought that car
suffered death
or somebody died in his family the guy
transporting the car
the car rolled down and crushed him they
broke the pieces of that car and sold it
every person who got the piece of that
car
off of ebay bad accidents happened and
so
you you can't explain those things away
what we understand as Christians
is there is a wind you can see the
causes the waves
you can see and sometimes that wind
a spiritual entity is stirring up
waves circumstances finances
you know health issues relationships
other things it gets stirred up and
these waves become
boisterous and they beat on your boat
they beat on your mind they beat on your
pocket they beat on your relationship
and they beat and it's hard it hurts you
bleed inside
you're suffering and not only that they
want to fill your boat
with depression with darkness with
despair they want to
fill you on the inside with defeat and
despair of life they want to feel you on
the inside
and all while you have jesus living
inside of you
how could i explain that savior is
sleeping
but he's there Jesus didn't jump the
boat i'm going to give you one more
two more waves anxiety and depression is
another way
anxiety could be physical depression
could also be something that you just
overloaded and
you really hit really hard time but the
bible makes me to understand
that the spirit of the Lord departed
from soul and a distressing spirit
troubled him
the bible also says the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness
so heaviness sometimes it could be you
didn't have your morning coffee
heaviness could be just you woke up and
honestly you just didn't sleep for the
last
you know month really well you it's
really difficult
um for you for your health maybe kids
are going back to school or
they have not been to school and you
have to raise them now you have to be
the teacher on the top of being their
mom or their dad
and so that could be that heaviness but
things get sorted out you find the new
routine
and heaviness departs but if it's been
three months
if it's now been three years that
heaviness
might not be emotional it's probably
spiritual
if these waves are beating on your boat
and filling your boat
perhaps these waves are caused by the
wind you cannot see
and just because you cannot see it it
doesn't mean you should ignore it
just because you can't verify it doesn't
mean that you should avoid it
it doesn't mean you should put it under
the carpet and say well this is just
just
life just the waves Jesus lives inside
of me i'm just being beaten and
filled with the waves but life just not
fair
yes it's not fair but you also have a
spiritual eyes
and you understand there is a wind
that's causing all that
also fear is a wave for example the
bible says God has not given us a spirit
of fear but spirit of power love and
sound mind
so that tells me that when
you are a young person
you have no underlining issues and
you're scared to get out of your house
that's not emotional that's spiritual
it paralyzes you you're afraid to take
any steps
and somebody a mile across cuffs
and you get paranoid that's not normal
you're not afraid to drive a car there's
a high chance of being
dead by driving a car it means that a
person now has a fear
that is controlling them we all feel
fear please understand all of us feel
fear
especially if you get sick or um you
know one of your
you lose a job or something there's a
common fear but when you are paralyzed
when you are controlled and you cannot
do anything about it
and you are stuck at home and there is
no physical evidence
for feeling what you're feeling but you
are trapped in it it's a wave
beating your boat filling your boat
caused by the wind
come on somebody and so i just want to
speak to people that are watching right
now if you are in that storm right now
if you are on that emotional spiritual
storm right now where you feel like
there is these waves that are beating my
boat and they are
filling my boat your situation
i know you blamed it on the president
you blamed it on the pandemic you blamed
it on your boss you blamed it on other
people but
honestly you need to take responsibility
today and rise against the wind that's
causing the waves
instead of blaming the waves come on
somebody
if you ever do a yard work in your house
and in your house you have a spider
when you clean the spider webs you most
likely will not see a spider
at the time that you see spider webs the
house that we lived in before
and and when i would mow the grass and i
would see these spider webs all around
the rocks around my house
the crazy part is every time i saw the
spider web i never saw the spider
i wanted to see that sucker they made
all of that stuff you know and squash
and take care of him and i always
thought the web never saw the spider
but see i didn't come to the conclusion
that spiders don't exist because i don't
see
them the spider web was a confirmation
that spiders exist
stirred up boisterous waves beating on
your boat and filling your boat is a
confirmation that is a wind that's
causing all of this
and so your war is not with the waves
that's why my message today is at war
with the wind at war with the spiritual
principalities and powers
your war is not with your husband and
it's not with your wife it's with
spiritual forces
your wife is not a snake she's your
spouse your husband is not the snake he
is your husband
the devil is the snake the demons are
the snake
i know your wife maybe act like a snake
your husband might act like a snake but
listen they're just a wave tossed by
the wind come on somebody
attacking your spouse will not cause the
wind to go away
attacking the waves will not stop the
wind Jesus did not
attack the waves he spoke to the wind
meaning he spoke to the invisible entity
causing the physical reaction
he spoke to the root of the problem
instead of dealing with the symptoms of
the problem
he went looking for a spider instead of
cleaning the spider web
so my friends the bible says our battle
is not physical
it's not against flesh and blood it's
against principalities powers and wicked
hosts
in the spiritual places we have a battle
and we
are engaged in a spiritual warfare the
weapons of our warfare are mighty in God
to pull down the strongholds in the
realm of the spirit why
because this world is way more spiritual
than we realize
this world is way more spiritual than we
understand
this world is way more spiritual than
many of us
live as it is and today is the time to
declare
war today is the time to declare victory
today is the day to tell every demon of
sickness
every demon of depression every demon of
fear
every demon of heaviness you gotta go
you gotta go
in jesus mighty name we take authority
over you
we take victory over you and we crush
you today in Jesus mighty name
if you believe in the authority that you
have in Jesus give God some
praise
Hallelujah winds and waves obey him
spiritual world responds to Christ
and i want to share with you practical
three tips or solutions for this hour
in dealing with spiritual warfare if
you're
in war with the wind right now if you
feel
the effect of the spiritual attack on
your sleep
if you feel the effect of spiritual
attack on your
thoughts they seem intrusive it's just
if you would split your mind open your
thought
life looks like what this looks like
waves are beating the boat and filling
up the with water
meaning thoughts are beating you instead
of comforting you
and your mind is overwhelmed maybe
the the consequences of that is in your
sleep perhaps you're even feeling that
physically in your body it doesn't mean
Jesus jumped the boat just because
you're attacked
it doesn't mean Jesus jumped into the
mouth of a whale like Jonah
Jesus didn't leave you in fact he didn't
abandon you
and he didn't forget you and the same
suffering that you feel
he feels because he's in your boat he
lives in your heart
he feels what you feel he sympathizes
with you
and maybe the first thing i want to
share
wake up desperation when disciples
got hit with waves and the wind they
became desperate
now this is not in fact they i don't
think they had a lot of faith
look at this prayer life teacher
do you not care it sounds like an upset
wife
every husband probably has heard this
conversation
you don't care you don't love me anymore
and we're not close and so i mean very
uh very unbelieving i read this and i
don't see
one ounce of faith in here
do you not care that we are perishing
what i see here is desperation
i see panic but as much as
we like to attack this it worked
it got jesus woken up and not only that
jesus out of his compassion
the storm stopped the wind and spoke to
the sea
i'm going to tell you when you lack
faith make sure you don't lack
desperation
if you don't have any faith at all and
your prayer looks like a whining list
i'm going to tell you one thing god will
never reject your prayer
even if it lacks faith but it has heart
God looks at the heart and Jesus knew
they had no faith at all
he rebuked them and corrected them later
but at first he did not correct them at
first he helped the
situation because he saw Jesus will
honor
desperate panicking crying people
he hears their cry he will stretch his
hand toward their need
so for those of you who like men but i
don't have any faith the only thing i
have
is a cry listen God's voice will hear
the cry
and some of us what we need is we need
to wake up desperation
what bothers me is people who need
deliverance who don't have desperation
who are dormant because they
domesticated their demons
they have domesticated their oppression
they have domesticated their addiction
they have domesticated the night terrors
they made it their owners that this is
just runs in the family well it better
stop with you
it better stop with me i know it was
running
in my family until it ran to me
maybe smoking ran in the family maybe
drugs ran in the family well
when it ran into you it has to stop
but the problem with many of us and some
people ask me if pastors may ask but
they're like you know
in the western countries demons go don't
get don't come out of people deliverance
is not as practice and i said well
there's just one big problem with us
is that we domesticate our demons
we give them disorder names we give them
labels and we treat them
mainly with medicine not against
medicine we're not against therapy and
counseling we as a ministry pay for it
for people to receive counseling we have
people on the stage in the pastoral team
who receive that
and we encourage people to see
constantly because deliverance
deals with the demon it doesn't deal
with your soul a lot of times
i believe in that but i also believe
that if your situation
did not woken up your desperation
my friend you either domesticated
something
that's supposed to be delivered and
removed or you're asleep
and that's why i think the Lord
sometimes allows certain problems
to heat up so they can wake us up
wake up our passion wake up on prayer
and it's a good thing my friend
i know the Christianity may look at that
and say well that lacks
faith well you're only doing it because
you're suffering you're only crying out
because you're hurting right now
it's okay Jesus understands he will
understand
and he will hear the cry of a desperate
mother praying for her child
cry of a desperate grandfather praying
for the grandchildren
he will hear your desperate cry even if
it has no
faith even if it's not theologically
proper even if it's not professional and
polite
if it has a passion inside if it has a
cry inside
if it has a desperation inside if it has
a voice inside
Jesus will hear it he will honor your
prayer
he will come to you and help you
you know desperation precedes
deliverance
when your faith lacks prayer make sure
it doesn't lack heart
dormant people domesticate their demons
dormant people worry more about dignity
than their deliverance
dormant people have pretense
professional prayers
that lack passion desperation
will always get jesus attention i used
to feel
guilty for desperation without faith
by reading a lot of stories in the bible
i don't see professionalism
blind bartimaeus his prayer wasn't
professional
son of David have mercy on me what kind
of a prayer is that
when you're blind you're supposed to be
asking help me with my side he's not
even praying it right
and then who came into the temple and
beat himself in the chest and said have
mercy on me
he didn't even officially say lord i
repent for my sin
and the bible says and he left and God
had more favor on him
not professional not polite not
structured
not even always theologically correct
but when your heart has its way
because life has dealt painful blow to
you
the waves have beat your boat they're
filling up your mind and there is a cry
that
only someone desperate can understand
there is a God
who sees the heart behind that cry
even if there is no faith at all even if
you are so
tired of of not seeing the deliverance
are so tired
of not seeing the breakthrough and
you're just disappointed and you're
blaming God
and you're questioning god and your
prayer looks like why do you not care
you left me and abandoned me i'm gonna
tell you one thing if it comes from your
heart
God will hear it god will respond to it
God will
help you to answer that prayer
amen learn to cry desperately
learn to cry not professionally learn to
seek God's face in a way that gets his
attention
even if you look back at their like what
was i saying
that was horrible that's not even right
but Jesus will look at you he will see
your heart
and i love this he saw their heart even
though he saw no faith
the second thing i want to mention that
if you are in a spiritual warfare right
now not only
learn to cry out to God learn to say
help Jesus
learn to say i can't do this anymore
Lord please help me it's not a suicidal
prayer
it's just a desperate cry this is not
your life it's not over no you're just
you're hurting so much
that you're just you can't put right
words into it please understand
Jesus does not have a theological
scanner that scans
how theologically sound your words are
he has a hard scanner that checks your
heart
sees is this coming from the heart and
if it comes from the heart but it's not
right
he will answer it the second thing i
want to mention is not only to wake up
desperation
but number two wake up faith after
you've cried your cry
after you've said your prayers after
accused after you accused God for
leaving you and not caring for you
after you've done the stuff you jumped
you walked around the Jericho walls you
stomped on the wall
you made the declaration you blamed
everybody you told you threatened God
you told him if he doesn't do it you're
gonna quit
after you've done all of that and
nothing happened
listen to me very carefully now instead
of
that's good that you woke up desperation
now wake up faith
because when Jesus stopped the storm and
he spoke to the waves
i want you to notice what he did he came
to these precious disciples
and he said what is wrong with you he
said
what the heck is wrong with you he
didn't say that word because he was
perfect
he said where is your faith
that tells me he expected them
to stop the storm
Jesus would have never accused them of
something
that they were not capable of doing our
Lord never does that
God will never accuse you for not flying
to Mars
you're not capable of doing that he said
where
is your faith what he demonstrated to
the wind
was expression of that faith and now
he's asking them
you guys woke me up why didn't you wake
up your faith
because it was not only your desperation
that was dormant it was your faith that
was dormant he says
where is your faith why do you have
no faith but you are so fearful and so i
want to just speak for a minute
desperation cries but faith confronts
desperation is directed toward God faith
is directed over the devil desperation
complains
faith commands desperation
see dormant faith will complain but your
your
quickened faith will confess God's word
desperation will question God's love but
faith will quote God's love desperation
will say God do you really love me
but faith will say God you do love me
and because you love me i will overcome
this
complaining relies on someone's
anointing to help me
but faith quickens the anointing i have
inside of me
to overcome my enemy come on somebody
complaining speaks about the problem but
faith speaks to the problem
complaining creates fears
but when you begin to speak faith you
put your fears to sleep
and so a lot of us what happens is that
complaining is a lot of times
ruled by feelings but faith is ruled by
the word of God
the biggest difference between the cry
of disciples
and the commanding of Jesus is this one
was ruled by feelings and i'm gonna tell
you again i'm gonna give you permission
no matter how long you've been in God
give yourself permission
it's okay to complain read book of
Psalms David was the man of God half of
his Psalms
cry baby the way he accused God the way
he questioned God you're like this guy
is this guy even saved
it's okay it's give yourself permission
people who always bottle it up and
pretend that they have all their faith
but please understand when you cried
your cries
wake up your faith because that's what
David did you read in many of his psalms
starts complaining and whining and ends
praising God
and confessing God's word your
faithfulness is great
your your your fidelity is great and he
begins to say he will deliver me and he
will speak for me and he was just like
what happened
because David woke up desperation and
then he also woke up his faith
your faith will cause you to speak to
the storm your faith will cause you to
speak to the night terrorists and begin
to say i rebuke you in Jesus name
because Jesus who slept in the storm he
spoke to the storm
he spoke right into the wind and he says
i command you to be silent
he rebuked the wind as though it's a
spiritual entity
and so when you have a nightmare you
have an option you can complain
or you can command you can command it to
go you can command it to stop
you can command it to quiet down you can
command it the chairs to stop moving in
your house
you can command the intrusive thoughts
to go you have the power of the name
Jesus living in your boat
you have the power of the word of God
living inside of you
and you don't have to complain you can
also command
you can also confront you can also speak
to the enemy
you can also speak to that sickness you
can also speak to your own soul David
did many times he says why are you
disquieted within me or my soul
you can speak to yourself you can speak
to your situation
you can speak what God's word says
Amen you may say but i speak and it
doesn't work
if it's not inside of you the only Jesus
the only reason why what Jesus spoke
worked
is because Jesus was willing first to
sleep in a storm before he spoke to the
storm
if you can sleep in it you can speak to
it effectively
what that means the storm was never
inside of him he was
in the storm the storm was not inside of
him you know what was inside of Jesus
was God's peace he slept in the storm
you may say well it's so hard to have
peace when everything around me is
really really bad
you probably have been in a boat have
you noticed it's really hard to stay dry
when everything around you is wet
but when you have a boat it's easy when
you have god's word it's easy
the only secret to sleep in the storm is
you have to stand
on what God says not on what you feel
what you see
what the doctor's report says or what
the feed on facebook says
or what your spiritually insensitive
prophets say go bringing fear into your
life if you stand
on the boat of God's word you will stay
dry
when everything around you is wet you
will stay full of faith when everything
around you is fearful
but the moment you go into your feelings
you will get wet
the moment you go into facts you will
get wet the moment you go into symptoms
you will get wet the moment you are
going to live by your bank account
or by what doctor says or by why your
friends think what you feel
you will get spiritually wet
speak to your situation command that
thing to go
command that evil spirit to depart in
Jesus name
you have the authority in the name of
jesus but one more thing i want to share
and that is this a few chapters later if
we go to chapter six
if you can uh turn with me to chapter
six of
Mark and the verse
is 48 the verse is 48
Jesus goes to the mountain to pray and
he saw them
straining at rowing for the wind
was against them now i want you to see a
second time
a wind goes against disciples but Jesus
this time is not in the boat
he is on the top of the mountain and
he's seeing the whole thing
in 4k now the fourth watch of the night
he came to them walking on the sea
and would have passed them by and when
of course they saw him they were
surprised in verse 51.
then he walked into the boat to them and
the wind
seized i got a revelation from that
he was in the wind in the waves and he
spoke to the wind and he stopped
but in here he was showing something
even better
if you speak to the wind and it doesn't
stop
God wants you to walk on the wind
what did Jesus do he walked on the waves
that were
caused by the wind the waves that were
stirred up by the wind you can imagine
this wasn't a
some of us see the movies where Jesus
walks in the water and it's all calm
this wasn't calm
this was a storm Jesus was walking over
those waves caused by the wind he did
not rebuke the wind
he walked on it and when he got to where
he was supposed to be the winds stop on
its own
sometimes you gotta cry out sometimes
you gotta rebuke
and sometimes you just gotta walk on the
top of it
you prayed the prayer you fasted the
fast you have rebuked it you have
anointed your house with the oil
you have claimed the blood you applied
the armor of God and what do you do you
say but the wind is not stopping
walk on it because my Bible makes me to
understand
in Malachi 4 verse 2 but to you who fear
my name the son of righteousness shall
arise with winning
with healing in his wings you shall go
out and grow
fat praise God like stall fat calves
and then he says this you shall trample
the wicked the devil
trample the demonic spirits trample fear
trample anxiety trample the things you
couldn't be delivered it seems like God
is not removing
but God is giving you authority to
trample on meaning you walk on the waves
you walk on those things you will
trample the wicked
lila and they shall be ashes under the
soles of your feet
on the day that i do this says the Lord
of hosts
Luke chapter 10 verse 19 behold i give
you authority
to trample upon the serpents and
scorpions and over all the power of the
enemy
and nothing by any means shall hurt you
that means as you walk on it you will
not drown
as you walk on it in authority in
dominion
as you walk in who you are in christ
over it
even if there is still sickness in your
body even if the enemy still seeks to
attack your mind
you will say i'm walking with the Lord i
am walking in my authority
i know who i am in Jesus i have the
anointing of most high God
i take every step forward with God the
Bible says nothing
by no means shall hurt you
Psalm 81 verse 13 it says oh that my
people would listen to me
that Israel would walk in my ways i will
soon subdue their enemies turn my hand
against their adversaries meaning God
says
sometimes you will cry out and i deliver
you
sometimes you step out in faith and you
will find deliverance for yourself
but all that my people would walk
in my ways walk above that situation
don't drown in it walk above the
sickness
why because you are seated in heavenly
places
not in the diagnosis of cancer you are
seated in heavenly places
not in the healing of your fear why does
God expect you to walk on it because
through the gift of righteousness
and the abundance of grace you are
called to reign in life
walk on it but it's not stopping pastor
Vlad
but the waves are still there walk on it
because once you step into your boat
the wind sees there was no rebuking
there was no commanding there was no
stopping they were just stepping on it
if it didn't stop step on it
if it didn't cease step on it and walk
on it
every day that you wake up wake up with
authority
wake up putting on the armor of God
putting on the armor of God and
walk on it Jesus healed a paralytic man
and the Bible says he didn't take away
his bear and says now go home
he says take up your bed and walk
meaning the Lord was saying now you're
gonna exercise
you're gonna carry that which carried
you
you're gonna walk on that which walked
over you
walk on the wind walk on the waves
walk above it every single day trample
by walking because every time you step
on that every time you keep your joy
in the middle of the situation not
changing you are trampling on the
devil's plan
every time you're keeping your peace
when nothing is changing
you might not see it in the realm of the
spirit but in the realm of the spirit
you are trampling on that and God says
oh that my people would
walk in my ways God never created you
for deliverance
he created you for dominion he created
you for authority
he created you to reign in life and
sometimes i feel like it's what God told
Joshua in Judges
and in Judges what it says that and
these are the nations that the Lord left
that he might test Israel by them that
those who have not known any wars in
Canaan
might learn to know the war at least
those who had not formally known Joshua
Judges 3 verse 1 and 2. i believe that
sometimes God doesn't deliver us from
certain things
because he empowers us to trample them
he empowers us to walk on them he
empowers us to pick up the bed and to
walk
he wants to see will you stay faithful
when you feel fearful when you stay will
you stay on fire
when you still feel the consequences of
that if you think the Lord just
magically will remove
everything bad in your life my friend
you're living in a fantasy that doesn't
happen on this side of eternity
because God called you to be a soldier
not a slave and how is he going to equip
the soldier
sometimes by letting certain things and
saying hey i want you to walk on it
i want you to walk over it i want you to
walk in my ways
and by walking in my ways you are
walking in your spiritual victory
in your spiritual armor Amen the Lord is
about to do his work
in our midst especially for people who
are watching us on Livestream
i believe there will be a mass
deliverance
taking place this morning people who
will be watching right now and
re-watching will be experiencing the
power of God
we've seen it this week when we were
praying people were throwing up and
puking in their own house
and being delivered i'm not saying that
that's what you should expect we don't
come expecting puking we expect freedom
Amen but we're also we don't care about
dignity as more as we care about our
freedom
we care more about walking with God than
how we look in front of people
in Jesus name Amen
