Speaker 1: Coming up.
Speaker 2: What influence is it that wants to tell you that
Speaker 2: the House of God is not important to you. You're
Speaker 2: a member of the body of Christ. Now that's important
Speaker 2: because you have a responsibility for the preservation, for the protection.
Speaker 2: If it's important to God, it has to be important
Speaker 2: to us.
Speaker 1: Pastor Paula White King teaches about God's desire to have
Speaker 1: a people in covenant with him, taking a stand against
Speaker 1: those who would come against the House of the Lord.
Speaker 1: Don't go anywhere. His word is your answer.
Speaker 2: To Jesay confronting.
Speaker 1: God wants a people and a place to meet with him.
Speaker 1: Pastor Paula, now teach us how God will keep the
Speaker 1: covenant he has made with his church.
Speaker 2: So let's look at Psalm chapter eighty three. We're going
Speaker 2: to give a little more explanation and get it a
Speaker 2: little bit deeper, so I won't read the whole thing,
Speaker 2: but you already know. In verse twelve, he said, who
Speaker 2: said let us take to ourself the houses of God
Speaker 2: in possession? So that's been our mate and focus that said.
Speaker 2: Who was it that said let us take unto ourself
Speaker 2: the houses of God into possession. We've read the message Bible. God,
Speaker 2: don't shut me out, don't give me the silent treatment
Speaker 2: of God. Your enemies are out there whopping it up.
Speaker 2: The God haters are living it up. They're plotting to
Speaker 2: do your people in, conspiring to rob you of precious ones.
Speaker 2: Let's wipe this nation from the face of the earth,
Speaker 2: so you can see. The tactics of the enemy are
Speaker 2: always the same. Let's destroy Israel. Let's destroy God's people.
Speaker 2: Let's destroy God's house, all right, So the enemy's always
Speaker 2: had the same agenda. Let's wipe out the nation of Israel.
Speaker 2: It's important because Israel became a nation because God always
Speaker 2: wanted a people that he was in covenant with. And
Speaker 2: then that covenant was expanded to the Gentiles, Thank you Jesus, amen,
Speaker 2: because we were the Heathens, all right, and God God
Speaker 2: expanded that. So our roots are Judeo Christian, right, if
Speaker 2: we are believers, if we're Christians, and so here we are.
Speaker 2: And he goes into what he does there, and he says, again,
Speaker 2: right there, don't who is it that has said let
Speaker 2: us take unto ourselves the houses of God into possession.
Speaker 2: So we've spent a lot of time dealing with what
Speaker 2: does what does today's church look like what should it
Speaker 2: look like from a biblical view? That was part number one.
Speaker 2: Then we said the importance of the church. That's the
Speaker 2: last two weeks, like what is the importance of it?
Speaker 2: So there's a few things that you need to know.
Speaker 2: This Psalm eighty three goes back to the confederacy, And
Speaker 2: why do we call it that? Because eight to ten
Speaker 2: nations had aligned itself against Israel, had aligned itself against
Speaker 2: Jehosaphat and Second Chronicles chapter twenty, So I haven't dealt
Speaker 2: much with that. So let's look at what was going on.
Speaker 2: Can we go there, because I think it's really interesting
Speaker 2: for you. And then we're going to get in to
Speaker 2: the influence of the church, all right, the influence of
Speaker 2: the church today. So the Moabites, the Ammonites, with some
Speaker 2: of the Mionites, all these Eites, Okay, a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of bites were coming. They came to make war with Jehoseaphat,
Speaker 2: which was the king of Israel. And it says if
Speaker 2: you go to First Corona or Second Chronicles chapter twenty,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna skip around a little bit, but a vast
Speaker 2: army is coming against you. And so what do you
Speaker 2: do when a vast army of enemies start coming against you.
Speaker 2: So I always remember I'm speaking to you in spiritual terms.
Speaker 2: We recognize. Ephesians chapter six, verse twelve says, we're not
Speaker 2: wrestling against flesh and blood. People are not our enemies,
Speaker 2: but the spirit that influences people can be our enemy.
Speaker 2: All right, We're wrestling against principalities, powers, wickedness, and darkness.
Speaker 2: I've taught you a lot on breaking that down. What
Speaker 2: power they have, what influence they have, how they operate, etc.
Speaker 2: So what should you do when an army comes against you,
Speaker 2: or when an army comes against God's people, or when
Speaker 2: an army an enemy comes against God's people, or an
Speaker 2: enemy comes against the church? Right? The first thing that
Speaker 2: it says, it says alarmed. He was alarmed. You know
Speaker 2: you should. There should be something sounding off in you
Speaker 2: that says, hold up, jehosephat resolved. There should be a
Speaker 2: resolution in every believer to stand for God, for me
Speaker 2: and my house, I will serve the Lord. There should
Speaker 2: be a resolution because we should not be carried away
Speaker 2: with every wind of doctrine. The Bible says. And Paul
Speaker 2: looks at Galatians. He says, you Galatians who so easily
Speaker 2: bewitched you. How did this happen that you were an
Speaker 2: entire region was bewitched? And so he says, alarm, Jehosaphat
Speaker 2: resolved to inquire of the Lord. You see it like
Speaker 2: when David was at Ziglag before he goes design. Ziglag
Speaker 2: is the battle before the breakthrough. It's the worst moment
Speaker 2: of David's life for seventeen years. He's anointed to be king.
Speaker 2: As a kid, he was an anointed as a young
Speaker 2: one by the prophet Samuel that horn would not release
Speaker 2: the old until it got over his head, even though
Speaker 2: his daddy wouldn't put him in the lineup, didn't believe
Speaker 2: in him. But then he's anointed. And though he's anointed
Speaker 2: to be king, he doesn't go right into that position.
Speaker 2: He's with these men that are distressed and dead and discouraged,
Speaker 2: and they're misfits, and yet they come and you know
Speaker 2: the story. It's the battle and right at zig Lag
Speaker 2: and they burn the city, they take their wives, they
Speaker 2: take their children, and David pursues them. He inquires of
Speaker 2: the Lord first, he inquires of the Lord. He doesn't
Speaker 2: just go out his natural instinct because he's a fighter,
Speaker 2: I'm sure would be go good as stuff. Go go
Speaker 2: kill them all, go slew them, you know, go after it.
Speaker 2: But what does he do? He inquires of the Lord.
Speaker 2: It's important before we make a move, we inquire of
Speaker 2: the Lord. It's important before you make a move for
Speaker 2: your family, make a move as a ministry, make a
Speaker 2: move in your life, that you inquire of the Lord,
Speaker 2: so that we seek God. How do we do that
Speaker 2: in prayer and meditation through his word? So he inquires
Speaker 2: of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all
Speaker 2: of Judah. That's an important part of our spiritual life,
Speaker 2: to pray, to seek God, and to fast. You go
Speaker 2: out to people fast. I wrote a whole book on it.
Speaker 2: There's twenty one different primary reasons why we fast. But
Speaker 2: the easiest way is fasting doesn't move God. Fasting moves you.
Speaker 2: It clears the clutter. It's like taking the channels and
Speaker 2: making them real clear. So all the fuzziness. Because life
Speaker 2: just has this way of getting stuff on you. Sometimes,
Speaker 2: I say, we live in a culture that just is
Speaker 2: bombarding you know, you get bombarded with messages that you
Speaker 2: don't know what to believe. Well, you've got to shut
Speaker 2: all that out and be still and know that I
Speaker 2: am God. You've got to get into the word of God.
Speaker 2: Hear from the voice of God. God speaks to his people. Amen,
Speaker 2: And it will always be in alignment with his word.
Speaker 2: So when we look, he says he proclaimed a fast
Speaker 2: for all of Judah. Now Judah is a portion of Israel,
Speaker 2: and says they all came together to seek help from
Speaker 2: the Lord. Now that's important because the Church unified. The
Speaker 2: Israelites were unified. May God unify his body right now,
Speaker 2: May God bring his body together. We're not going to
Speaker 2: all unify. It'd be great if all Americans were unified.
Speaker 2: That would be a true miracle, right, that would be
Speaker 2: an amazing thing that we could unify as Americans, we
Speaker 2: could unify as a country. But my hope is that
Speaker 2: the Church, the blood bought Church of Jesus Christ. Whether
Speaker 2: you're Methodist, whether you're Catholic, whether you're non and non denominational,
Speaker 2: whether you're Charismatic, whether you're Southern Baptist, if you say
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ is Lord, we are part of the body
Speaker 2: of Christ. Amen. If you believe in the Trinity, God,
Speaker 2: the Father, God, the Holy Spirit, God the Son. If
Speaker 2: you believe that Jesus Christ was crucified on an old
Speaker 2: rugged cross, buried in a borrow to and rose again
Speaker 2: on the third day, came to give you life, was path.
Speaker 2: He is the way, the truth to life. Then we
Speaker 2: are brothers and sisters, all right. So I came out
Speaker 2: of Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee. And then Assembly of God,
Speaker 2: which is the bigger, broke off of that. And you go, well,
Speaker 2: why did they break off? Because one could dance and
Speaker 2: one couldn't. Now that doesn't really matter if you dance
Speaker 2: or not dance. I mean, are you going to is
Speaker 2: a heaven or he issue? Absolutely no. But that's how
Speaker 2: we got all these schisms. But that those are the
Speaker 2: minor things, not the major things. Right, So may the
Speaker 2: Church of God, not the literal Church of God, the
Speaker 2: Church of God, the larger church be unified. Saw one
Speaker 2: thirty three, How pleasant it is amen for my brethren
Speaker 2: to dwell together. So they all came together to seek
Speaker 2: help from the Lord. Verse five. Then Jehozah fat watch
Speaker 2: this stood up. You have to get up. You have
Speaker 2: to take a stand. You already know that if you
Speaker 2: don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything. This is
Speaker 2: not the time to sit back. This is not the
Speaker 2: time to be quiet. And times like this you can't
Speaker 2: be flaky in times like this. There are times that
Speaker 2: you can kind of, you know, go all right, things
Speaker 2: are you know, they're they're kind of But there are
Speaker 2: times that everything's black and white and you just go
Speaker 2: for me and my house. We stand for the Lord,
Speaker 2: all right. Jehoseph stood up because why eight to ten
Speaker 2: nations were coming to take down those that were in
Speaker 2: covenant with God. So we stood up. When they're coming
Speaker 2: to take down the church, when they come to take
Speaker 2: down those that are in covenant with God, you've got
Speaker 2: to stand. You've got to stand up. And Jjoseph hat
Speaker 2: stood up in the assembly. Watch this of Judah and
Speaker 2: Jerusalem at the temple. And this is where my heart
Speaker 2: goes out right now, because I cry out for pastors,
Speaker 2: I cry out for prophets, apostles, teachers. I cry out
Speaker 2: for those that are in ministry priests to stand up,
Speaker 2: to take a stand for the Lord, to take a
Speaker 2: stand for his house. Because they stood up in the
Speaker 2: assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the Temple of the Lord.
Speaker 2: And he said, so where did they stand? I mean, watch,
Speaker 2: you're gonna find out. When they stood up, God stood up.
Speaker 2: When they stood up, God stood up, and they stood
Speaker 2: up at the House of God, the House of God
Speaker 2: has to take a stand. Come on, the Church has
Speaker 2: to take a stand. The Church must take us hand
Speaker 2: and say, right is right if no one's doing it,
Speaker 2: and wrong is wrong if everyone's doing it. And watch
Speaker 2: what he says, O, Lord, God of our fathers, are
Speaker 2: you not the God who is in heaven? Watch the
Speaker 2: prayer very similar to how we pray. God. Aren't you
Speaker 2: the God who is in heaven? You rule over all
Speaker 2: the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in
Speaker 2: your hand, and no one can withstand you. Oh our God,
Speaker 2: did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land
Speaker 2: before your people Israel and give it forever to the
Speaker 2: descendants of Abraham, your friend. He's saying, Look, aren't you
Speaker 2: in covenant with us? Remind God of your covenant when
Speaker 2: you're praying for your children, when we're praying over this nation.
Speaker 2: Remind God of the covenant that he has with us.
Speaker 2: You're in covenant with God, and God God is a
Speaker 2: covenant keeping God. This is not like Oh I think,
Speaker 2: I hope, I wish this is not high expectation of
Speaker 2: hopeful wishing. God is a covenant keeping God, and God
Speaker 2: will not fail his covenant. And he says, God, did
Speaker 2: you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before
Speaker 2: your people Israel? And this is a word for you
Speaker 2: right now, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham,
Speaker 2: your friend. They have lived in it and have built
Speaker 2: in it a sanctuary for your name. That's important because
Speaker 2: God always wanted a sanctuary. He always wanted a dwelling place,
Speaker 2: both a physical and a spiritual dwelling place. And whether
Speaker 2: it was a tent, whether it's an altar, I can
Speaker 2: take you through it. Abraham, what was the difference between
Speaker 2: Abraham and law Lot was a leech because he just
Speaker 2: wanted to suck out the life of Abraham. Abraham was
Speaker 2: always building an altar for God. And so Moses in
Speaker 2: the wilderness, they pitched a tent and God gave him
Speaker 2: the dimensions. David was to build the temple. Solomon would
Speaker 2: actually build it because David was a man of bloody hand,
Speaker 2: a man of war, and so he was always There
Speaker 2: was always a temple, there was always a house, whether
Speaker 2: it was a tent and altar God says, make me
Speaker 2: a place, meet me there. Three times a year. You've
Speaker 2: got to meet me in a place that I'm going
Speaker 2: to tell you of to bring me. And it was
Speaker 2: the feast seasons, all right. Then they'd have to meet
Speaker 2: God because it was always important that God has a
Speaker 2: people and a place that meet with him, a people
Speaker 2: and a place. Hagi makes it very clear. He says, look,
Speaker 2: there's holes in your pocket because you built your houses,
Speaker 2: but you left my house in ruins. So it was
Speaker 2: always important and always has been important to God. So
Speaker 2: he says, they have lived in it and have built
Speaker 2: in it a sanctuary for your name. So he's saying, look,
Speaker 2: we've built a sanctuary for your name. Watch what he says, saying,
Speaker 2: if calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment,
Speaker 2: our plague, our famine, we will stand in your presence
Speaker 2: before this temple that bears your name and will cry
Speaker 2: out to you in our distress, and you will hear
Speaker 2: us and save us. Why do you think we meet
Speaker 2: in the house of God to cry out to God?
Speaker 2: Because God says, meet me, Let my people meet me
Speaker 2: at my place to cry out for my name's sake. Listen,
Speaker 2: that's what God always has done. So what happens after
Speaker 2: they get up? God gets up? Watch verse fourteen. They answered,
Speaker 2: then the spirit of the Lord came upon them, Jehazel,
Speaker 2: So the spirit of God didn't even come upon them
Speaker 2: when all these enemies were lining up against them, when
Speaker 2: they're sitting in their distress, when they're going through it.
Speaker 2: It's not until they say, Hey, God, we're getting up
Speaker 2: in your house and this is what we're saying. We're
Speaker 2: holding you to your covenant in your house. We're crying
Speaker 2: from your house. And when that happens, the spirit of
Speaker 2: the Lord came upon them. And the spirit of the
Speaker 2: Lord came upon Jehezel's son of Zachariah, son of Ben
Speaker 2: and Ayah. Why is this important? Son of j L's
Speaker 2: son of Maniah a Levite? And descended asif why does
Speaker 2: he always go into genealogy? Because it's important that you
Speaker 2: produce godly fruit. It's important. Listen, you don't have to
Speaker 2: raise up ten thousand pastors. You don't have to build,
Speaker 2: you know, fifty businesses. God says, I'm gonna give you offspring.
Speaker 2: Because the one thing, there's certain certain things that God
Speaker 2: seeks out. He seeks those who worship him in spirit
Speaker 2: and truth. He seeks for someone to stand in the
Speaker 2: gap and make up the hedge, and he seeks for
Speaker 2: people to leave imposterity. It's important that you leave spiritual
Speaker 2: fruit in your offspring. It's important. The greatest thing you
Speaker 2: can do is a spiritual inheritance. It's the greatest gift
Speaker 2: you can give. It's better than you given ten million dollars,
Speaker 2: is better than any trust fund. The greatest inheritance you
Speaker 2: will ever lead is a spiritual inheritance, because if you
Speaker 2: give them a spiritual inheritance, you'll give them the ability
Speaker 2: to do anything in life, the ability to be who
Speaker 2: they were created to be, the ability to make their
Speaker 2: own money. Come on the ability. It's great if you
Speaker 2: can leave the money. It's great if you can leave
Speaker 2: them other things, manners and good things. But the greatest
Speaker 2: thing you leave, you leave your offspring a spiritual inheritance.
Speaker 2: As he stood up in the assembly, so God got up.
Speaker 2: They got up, and this is what he says. Do
Speaker 2: not be afraid, and do not be discouraged. Don't have
Speaker 2: a nervous breakdown because of this vast army. I don't
Speaker 2: care what it looks like is what God's saying, I
Speaker 2: don't care how many are arrayed against you. It doesn't
Speaker 2: matter how outnumbered you look. For the battle is not yours,
Speaker 2: but it is the Lord's. Somebody needs to know that.
Speaker 2: For this nation, come on, for your family, for your finances,
Speaker 2: for whatever you're facing. The battle is not yours, but
Speaker 2: the battle belongs to the Lord. Don't try to take
Speaker 2: matters in your own hands, because God says, vengeance is mine.
Speaker 2: Verse twenty Jehosah pat says, listen to me, Judah and
Speaker 2: people of Jerusalem. Have faith in the Lord your God,
Speaker 2: and you will be upheld. Have faith in his prophets
Speaker 2: and you will be successful. Say He says, have faith
Speaker 2: in the Lord your God, and have faith in his prophets.
Speaker 2: Then he appointed men to sing to the Lord and
Speaker 2: praise him for the splendor of his holiness. As they
Speaker 2: were out before the army, saying, get thanks to the
Speaker 2: Lord for his love endures forever. Says, they begin to
Speaker 2: sing in praise to the Lord. You know what happens.
Speaker 2: God sets ambushes against the enemies, and they were defeated.
Speaker 2: And it takes them three days to collect the plunder,
Speaker 2: three days to collect all the spoil. So the result
Speaker 2: is this in verse twenty nine, the fear of the
Speaker 2: Lord Elder Herod. The fear of the Lord came upon
Speaker 2: all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard how
Speaker 2: the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. This
Speaker 2: is always God's desire to bring all eyes back to him.
Speaker 2: The fear is not I'm afraid of you, it's the reverence.
Speaker 3: And the respect comes back to God. The glory comes
Speaker 3: back to God.
Speaker 2: Now that's important because as we're talking about Psalm eighty three,
Speaker 2: who said let us occupy the House of God, there
Speaker 2: were ten nations that said, let us take it over.
Speaker 2: Let us be a bigger organization than God's Church, let
Speaker 2: us have more power, let us have more this, let
Speaker 2: us have more that they were saying, let us occupy,
Speaker 2: and we'll get into that the house of God. But
Speaker 2: I've already taught to the House of God matters. It's
Speaker 2: all about verse twelve. Let us take to ourself. The
Speaker 2: house is of God in possession. So we've already studied Hebrews.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go through a ten Verse twenty
Speaker 2: four and twenty five, let us consider one another to
Speaker 2: provoke unto love and to good works, not forsaking, an
Speaker 2: assembling of ourself together as the manner of some is,
Speaker 2: but exhorting one another, and so much more, as you
Speaker 2: see the day approaching. Assembling means a complete collection of
Speaker 2: people at the same place, and so in Psalm forty seven,
Speaker 2: verse nine, the Princess, which means volunteers of the people
Speaker 2: are gathered together. The volunteers of the people are gathered together,
Speaker 2: even the people of God of Abraham. For the shields
Speaker 2: of the earth belong unto God, he says, When you
Speaker 2: you gather together, you become the shield of the earth,
Speaker 2: which belongs to God. We become a mighty shield in
Speaker 2: the earth that pushes back the force of darkness. As
Speaker 2: we gather together. Our praise corporately matters. Our worship corporately matters.
Speaker 2: Come on, I'm coming together, our fellowship, our taking of
Speaker 2: the Eucharus corporately matters. It matters individually, but it matters corporately.
Speaker 2: Psalm fifty, verse one of five. Gather my saints together,
Speaker 2: and to me those that have made a covenant with
Speaker 2: me by sacrifice. Our sacrifice matters. I went into Ecclesiastics
Speaker 2: five to one. The literal translation is guard thy steps
Speaker 2: as thou were going to the House of God and
Speaker 2: approach to here, to hearken and to do, and not
Speaker 2: to give the sacrifice of fools, for none of them
Speaker 2: have knowledge of doing evil. They offer gifts for their
Speaker 2: sins and do not turn from their evil works, for
Speaker 2: they know not. They distinguish not between good and evil.
Speaker 2: So we've studied so much of this that Romans twelve
Speaker 2: five says we have so we being many, are one
Speaker 2: body in Christ, and everyone members of another. So we
Speaker 2: have to understand that we're part of something that is
Speaker 2: bigger than just ourself, the bride of Christ, God's Church.
Speaker 2: And we have a responsibility. This is the key part.
Speaker 2: You're ready responsibility to our position, our protection, and our
Speaker 2: preservation of the church. That's why it matters. When I
Speaker 2: just said we won, Maybe you go, well, I didn't
Speaker 2: do anything to win. Well, sure we did. We've been praying,
Speaker 2: and your prayers go before the throne room of God.
Speaker 2: Come on, and it matters. Every time we win a
Speaker 2: victory for religious liberty, we went a victory for people
Speaker 2: of all faith. We went a victory for church. We
Speaker 2: went a victory. Psalm chapter eighty three, verse twelve, who said,
Speaker 2: let us take to ourself the houses of God. To possession.
Speaker 2: Houses means this pastures, pleasant places, and habitation. So what
Speaker 2: does the enemy want? He wants a habitation of the presence,
Speaker 2: the pasture, and the place of God. Remember Exodus, chapter
Speaker 2: twenty five, verse eight. Let them make me a sanctuary,
Speaker 2: a dwelling place, a homestead, a place that I can
Speaker 2: have habitation, not just visitation. And who's trying to take possession?
Speaker 2: Possession means to occupy. And this is where I'm going
Speaker 2: today in the next thirty minutes, to occupy by driving
Speaker 2: out previous tenants, to possess in their place, or to
Speaker 2: rob them of their inheritance, so they will come to poverty.
Speaker 2: So you've got to ask yourself, what's the force that
Speaker 2: wants to pull you away from the house of God.
Speaker 2: What is it that tries to tell you that this
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter. What is it that tries to tell
Speaker 2: you that it's really not real? What is that spirit
Speaker 2: that separates you from the fabric of the family of God.
Speaker 2: What is the enemy or the devil that tries to
Speaker 2: rob you of your inheritance of producing godly fruit? So
Speaker 2: what wants to move you from the habitation of God?
Speaker 2: From the present, from the pastors of God. What's that
Speaker 2: influence that tells you the House of God is not
Speaker 2: all that important? And that's where we're going. You ready,
Speaker 2: so say bring it on, Pastor Paula. So we've talked
Speaker 2: about the importance of the House of God, and I
Speaker 2: just laid a small foundation. So let's talk about the
Speaker 2: influence of the House of God. What influence is it
Speaker 2: that wants to tell you that the House of God
Speaker 2: is not important to you? The devil is a liar
Speaker 2: because you're something bigger than just your individual self. You're
Speaker 2: not a single letter in the alphabet. You're the whole alphabet,
Speaker 2: all right. You're a member of the body of Christ.
Speaker 2: Now that's important because you have a responsibility for the preservation,
Speaker 2: for the protection. If it's important to God, it has
Speaker 2: to be important to us. So the strategy of the
Speaker 2: enemy is to take possession of the House of God.
Speaker 2: Let's look at Matthew chapter twelve, verse twenty two through
Speaker 2: thirty seven and read you a bit. But this is important.
Speaker 2: If you get this principle, you're gonna get it right.
Speaker 2: Then was brought into him Jesus one possessed with the devil,
Speaker 2: blind and dumb, and he healed him. Now, notice something
Speaker 2: that before Jesus ever does any healing, he always deals
Speaker 2: with the devil. He always there's not healing and stuff
Speaker 2: that he first deals with the spirit that's got a
Speaker 2: person in bondage. There has to be if you have
Speaker 2: any kind of ministry, if there's an anointing on you,
Speaker 2: the anointing destroys the yoke. It doesn't just remove it,
Speaker 2: It destroys it, which means to annihilate it. So the anointing,
Speaker 2: God's manifested presence deals with whatever has people in bondage.
Speaker 2: As I preach, people get set free as we worship.
Speaker 2: It's not just that you get healed, you're first getting
Speaker 2: freedom because whatever is holding you in that place, whatever
Speaker 2: that demonic entity is. Now, as a Christian, you can't
Speaker 2: be possessed, but you certainly can be oppressed. So then
Speaker 2: he was brought into him when possessed with the devil,
Speaker 2: blind and dumb, and he healed him insomuch that the
Speaker 2: blind and dumb both spake and salt, and all the
Speaker 2: people were amazed and said, is not this the son
Speaker 2: of David? But when the Pharisees heard it, they said
Speaker 2: this fellow watch does not cast out devils. They weren't
Speaker 2: concerned about the healing. They were upset that he was
Speaker 2: getting people free.
