WEBVTT - PAULA WHITE MINISTRIES | AUGUST 9TH, 2026

0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Coming up.

0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 2>What influence is it that wants to tell you that

0:00:04.080 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 2>the House of God is not important to you. You're

0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:11.000
<v Speaker 2>a member of the body of Christ. Now that's important

0:00:11.039 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 2>because you have a responsibility for the preservation, for the protection.

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.599
<v Speaker 2>If it's important to God, it has to be important

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 2>to us.

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Pastor Paula White King teaches about God's desire to have

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a people in covenant with him, taking a stand against

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>those who would come against the House of the Lord.

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Don't go anywhere. His word is your answer.

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 2>To Jesay confronting.

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.279
<v Speaker 1>God wants a people and a place to meet with him.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Pastor Paula, now teach us how God will keep the

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>covenant he has made with his church.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.200
<v Speaker 2>So let's look at Psalm chapter eighty three. We're going

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 2>to give a little more explanation and get it a

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.399
<v Speaker 2>little bit deeper, so I won't read the whole thing,

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 2>but you already know. In verse twelve, he said, who

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 2>said let us take to ourself the houses of God

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 2>in possession? So that's been our mate and focus that said.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Who was it that said let us take unto ourself

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.559
<v Speaker 2>the houses of God into possession. We've read the message Bible. God,

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>don't shut me out, don't give me the silent treatment

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>of God. Your enemies are out there whopping it up.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 2>The God haters are living it up. They're plotting to

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 2>do your people in, conspiring to rob you of precious ones.

0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's wipe this nation from the face of the earth,

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 2>so you can see. The tactics of the enemy are

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.839
<v Speaker 2>always the same. Let's destroy Israel. Let's destroy God's people.

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's destroy God's house, all right, So the enemy's always

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>had the same agenda. Let's wipe out the nation of Israel.

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>It's important because Israel became a nation because God always

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 2>wanted a people that he was in covenant with. And

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>then that covenant was expanded to the Gentiles, Thank you Jesus, amen,

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.320
<v Speaker 2>because we were the Heathens, all right, and God God

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 2>expanded that. So our roots are Judeo Christian, right, if

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 2>we are believers, if we're Christians, and so here we are.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>And he goes into what he does there, and he says, again,

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>right there, don't who is it that has said let

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 2>us take unto ourselves the houses of God into possession.

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>So we've spent a lot of time dealing with what

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 2>does what does today's church look like what should it

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.839
<v Speaker 2>look like from a biblical view? That was part number one.

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Then we said the importance of the church. That's the

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>last two weeks, like what is the importance of it?

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>So there's a few things that you need to know.

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 2>This Psalm eighty three goes back to the confederacy, And

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 2>why do we call it that? Because eight to ten

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>nations had aligned itself against Israel, had aligned itself against

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Jehosaphat and Second Chronicles chapter twenty, So I haven't dealt

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 2>much with that. So let's look at what was going on.

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Can we go there, because I think it's really interesting

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 2>for you. And then we're going to get in to

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the influence of the church, all right, the influence of

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 2>the church today. So the Moabites, the Ammonites, with some

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 2>of the Mionites, all these Eites, Okay, a whole bunch

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 2>of bites were coming. They came to make war with Jehoseaphat,

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 2>which was the king of Israel. And it says if

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 2>you go to First Corona or Second Chronicles chapter twenty,

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna skip around a little bit, but a vast

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>army is coming against you. And so what do you

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 2>do when a vast army of enemies start coming against you.

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>So I always remember I'm speaking to you in spiritual terms.

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>We recognize. Ephesians chapter six, verse twelve says, we're not

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>wrestling against flesh and blood. People are not our enemies,

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 2>but the spirit that influences people can be our enemy.

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, We're wrestling against principalities, powers, wickedness, and darkness.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I've taught you a lot on breaking that down. What

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>power they have, what influence they have, how they operate, etc.

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 2>So what should you do when an army comes against you,

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>or when an army comes against God's people, or when

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>an army an enemy comes against God's people, or an

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 2>enemy comes against the church? Right? The first thing that

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 2>it says, it says alarmed. He was alarmed. You know

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>you should. There should be something sounding off in you

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 2>that says, hold up, jehosephat resolved. There should be a

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 2>resolution in every believer to stand for God, for me

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and my house, I will serve the Lord. There should

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 2>be a resolution because we should not be carried away

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.479
<v Speaker 2>with every wind of doctrine. The Bible says. And Paul

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>looks at Galatians. He says, you Galatians who so easily

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 2>bewitched you. How did this happen that you were an

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>entire region was bewitched? And so he says, alarm, Jehosaphat

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.359
<v Speaker 2>resolved to inquire of the Lord. You see it like

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 2>when David was at Ziglag before he goes design. Ziglag

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.799
<v Speaker 2>is the battle before the breakthrough. It's the worst moment

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 2>of David's life for seventeen years. He's anointed to be king.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>As a kid, he was an anointed as a young

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>one by the prophet Samuel that horn would not release

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 2>the old until it got over his head, even though

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>his daddy wouldn't put him in the lineup, didn't believe

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 2>in him. But then he's anointed. And though he's anointed

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>to be king, he doesn't go right into that position.

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>He's with these men that are distressed and dead and discouraged,

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>and they're misfits, and yet they come and you know

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 2>the story. It's the battle and right at zig Lag

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 2>and they burn the city, they take their wives, they

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>take their children, and David pursues them. He inquires of

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 2>the Lord first, he inquires of the Lord. He doesn't

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.359
<v Speaker 2>just go out his natural instinct because he's a fighter,

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure would be go good as stuff. Go go

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 2>kill them all, go slew them, you know, go after it.

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 2>But what does he do? He inquires of the Lord.

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>It's important before we make a move, we inquire of

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 2>the Lord. It's important before you make a move for

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 2>your family, make a move as a ministry, make a

0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 2>move in your life, that you inquire of the Lord,

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>so that we seek God. How do we do that

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 2>in prayer and meditation through his word? So he inquires

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 2>of Judah. That's an important part of our spiritual life,

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 2>to pray, to seek God, and to fast. You go

0:06:17.000 --> 0:06:18.919
<v Speaker 2>out to people fast. I wrote a whole book on it.

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 2>There's twenty one different primary reasons why we fast. But

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 2>the easiest way is fasting doesn't move God. Fasting moves you.

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 2>It clears the clutter. It's like taking the channels and

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 2>making them real clear. So all the fuzziness. Because life

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 2>just has this way of getting stuff on you. Sometimes,

0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I say, we live in a culture that just is

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:42.159
<v Speaker 2>bombarding you know, you get bombarded with messages that you

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 2>don't know what to believe. Well, you've got to shut

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>all that out and be still and know that I

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 2>am God. You've got to get into the word of God.

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Hear from the voice of God. God speaks to his people. Amen,

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.799
<v Speaker 2>And it will always be in alignment with his word.

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>So when we look, he says he proclaimed a fast

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>for all of Judah. Now Judah is a portion of Israel,

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:06.120
<v Speaker 2>and says they all came together to seek help from

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the Lord. Now that's important because the Church unified. The

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Israelites were unified. May God unify his body right now,

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 2>May God bring his body together. We're not going to

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 2>all unify. It'd be great if all Americans were unified.

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>That would be a true miracle, right, that would be

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>an amazing thing that we could unify as Americans, we

0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 2>could unify as a country. But my hope is that

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.239
<v Speaker 2>the Church, the blood bought Church of Jesus Christ. Whether

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>you're Methodist, whether you're Catholic, whether you're non and non denominational,

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 2>whether you're Charismatic, whether you're Southern Baptist, if you say

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Jesus Christ is Lord, we are part of the body

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 2>of Christ. Amen. If you believe in the Trinity, God,

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>the Father, God, the Holy Spirit, God the Son. If

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>you believe that Jesus Christ was crucified on an old

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>rugged cross, buried in a borrow to and rose again

0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 2>on the third day, came to give you life, was path.

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 2>He is the way, the truth to life. Then we

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 2>are brothers and sisters, all right. So I came out

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 2>of Church of God, Cleveland, Tennessee. And then Assembly of God,

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>which is the bigger, broke off of that. And you go, well,

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>why did they break off? Because one could dance and

0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 2>one couldn't. Now that doesn't really matter if you dance

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.040
<v Speaker 2>or not dance. I mean, are you going to is

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 2>a heaven or he issue? Absolutely no. But that's how

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>we got all these schisms. But that those are the

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.200
<v Speaker 2>minor things, not the major things. Right, So may the

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Church of God, not the literal Church of God, the

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Church of God, the larger church be unified. Saw one

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 2>thirty three, How pleasant it is amen for my brethren

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 2>to dwell together. So they all came together to seek

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 2>help from the Lord. Verse five. Then Jehozah fat watch

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 2>this stood up. You have to get up. You have

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>to take a stand. You already know that if you

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 2>don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything. This is

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>not the time to sit back. This is not the

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 2>time to be quiet. And times like this you can't

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 2>be flaky in times like this. There are times that

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 2>you can kind of, you know, go all right, things

0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.760
<v Speaker 2>are you know, they're they're kind of But there are

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>times that everything's black and white and you just go

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>for me and my house. We stand for the Lord,

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 2>all right. Jehoseph stood up because why eight to ten

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 2>nations were coming to take down those that were in

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>covenant with God. So we stood up. When they're coming

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 2>to take down the church, when they come to take

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 2>down those that are in covenant with God, you've got

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>to stand. You've got to stand up. And Jjoseph hat

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 2>stood up in the assembly. Watch this of Judah and

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Jerusalem at the temple. And this is where my heart

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.319
<v Speaker 2>goes out right now, because I cry out for pastors,

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I cry out for prophets, apostles, teachers. I cry out

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>for those that are in ministry priests to stand up,

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 2>to take a stand for the Lord, to take a

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 2>stand for his house. Because they stood up in the

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.720
<v Speaker 2>assembly of Judah and Jerusalem at the Temple of the Lord.

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.120
<v Speaker 2>And he said, so where did they stand? I mean, watch,

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.240
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna find out. When they stood up, God stood up.

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 2>When they stood up, God stood up, and they stood

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 2>up at the House of God, the House of God

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.560
<v Speaker 2>has to take a stand. Come on, the Church has

0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.319
<v Speaker 2>to take a stand. The Church must take us hand

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 2>and say, right is right if no one's doing it,

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 2>and wrong is wrong if everyone's doing it. And watch

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 2>what he says, O, Lord, God of our fathers, are

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.200
<v Speaker 2>you not the God who is in heaven? Watch the

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 2>prayer very similar to how we pray. God. Aren't you

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.560
<v Speaker 2>the God who is in heaven? You rule over all

0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>the kingdoms of the nations. Power and might are in

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 2>your hand, and no one can withstand you. Oh our God,

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.559
<v Speaker 2>did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 2>before your people Israel and give it forever to the

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 2>descendants of Abraham, your friend. He's saying, Look, aren't you

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 2>in covenant with us? Remind God of your covenant when

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.080
<v Speaker 2>you're praying for your children, when we're praying over this nation.

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Remind God of the covenant that he has with us.

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.440
<v Speaker 2>You're in covenant with God, and God God is a

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.320
<v Speaker 2>covenant keeping God. This is not like Oh I think,

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I hope, I wish this is not high expectation of

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 2>hopeful wishing. God is a covenant keeping God, and God

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:13.240
<v Speaker 2>will not fail his covenant. And he says, God, did

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 2>you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before

0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.560
<v Speaker 2>your people Israel? And this is a word for you

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.760
<v Speaker 2>right now, and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham,

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:23.439
<v Speaker 2>your friend. They have lived in it and have built

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 2>in it a sanctuary for your name. That's important because

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 2>God always wanted a sanctuary. He always wanted a dwelling place,

0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:35.559
<v Speaker 2>both a physical and a spiritual dwelling place. And whether

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>it was a tent, whether it's an altar, I can

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.040
<v Speaker 2>take you through it. Abraham, what was the difference between

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Abraham and law Lot was a leech because he just

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 2>wanted to suck out the life of Abraham. Abraham was

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 2>always building an altar for God. And so Moses in

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 2>the wilderness, they pitched a tent and God gave him

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the dimensions. David was to build the temple. Solomon would

0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.959
<v Speaker 2>actually build it because David was a man of bloody hand,

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 2>a man of war, and so he was always There

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 2>was always a temple, there was always a house, whether

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 2>it was a tent and altar God says, make me

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 2>a place, meet me there. Three times a year. You've

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 2>got to meet me in a place that I'm going

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>to tell you of to bring me. And it was

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 2>the feast seasons, all right. Then they'd have to meet

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 2>God because it was always important that God has a

0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>people and a place that meet with him, a people

0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and a place. Hagi makes it very clear. He says, look,

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>there's holes in your pocket because you built your houses,

0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 2>but you left my house in ruins. So it was

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.679
<v Speaker 2>always important and always has been important to God. So

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.319
<v Speaker 2>he says, they have lived in it and have built

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 2>in it a sanctuary for your name. So he's saying, look,

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>we've built a sanctuary for your name. Watch what he says, saying,

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>if calamity comes upon us, whether the sword of judgment,

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>our plague, our famine, we will stand in your presence

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 2>before this temple that bears your name and will cry

0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 2>out to you in our distress, and you will hear

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>us and save us. Why do you think we meet

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 2>in the house of God to cry out to God?

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Because God says, meet me, Let my people meet me

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.880
<v Speaker 2>at my place to cry out for my name's sake. Listen,

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 2>that's what God always has done. So what happens after

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 2>they get up? God gets up? Watch verse fourteen. They answered,

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.800
<v Speaker 2>then the spirit of the Lord came upon them, Jehazel,

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.319
<v Speaker 2>So the spirit of God didn't even come upon them

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.839
<v Speaker 2>when all these enemies were lining up against them, when

0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 2>they're sitting in their distress, when they're going through it.

0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not until they say, Hey, God, we're getting up

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>in your house and this is what we're saying. We're

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 2>holding you to your covenant in your house. We're crying

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 2>from your house. And when that happens, the spirit of

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 2>the Lord came upon them. And the spirit of the

0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Lord came upon Jehezel's son of Zachariah, son of Ben

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and Ayah. Why is this important? Son of j L's

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 2>son of Maniah a Levite? And descended asif why does

0:14:01.120 --> 0:14:04.439
<v Speaker 2>he always go into genealogy? Because it's important that you

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:08.719
<v Speaker 2>produce godly fruit. It's important. Listen, you don't have to

0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 2>raise up ten thousand pastors. You don't have to build,

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, fifty businesses. God says, I'm gonna give you offspring.

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Because the one thing, there's certain certain things that God

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 2>seeks out. He seeks those who worship him in spirit

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 2>and truth. He seeks for someone to stand in the

0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 2>gap and make up the hedge, and he seeks for

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>people to leave imposterity. It's important that you leave spiritual

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 2>fruit in your offspring. It's important. The greatest thing you

0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 2>can do is a spiritual inheritance. It's the greatest gift

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you can give. It's better than you given ten million dollars,

0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 2>is better than any trust fund. The greatest inheritance you

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.720
<v Speaker 2>will ever lead is a spiritual inheritance, because if you

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.560
<v Speaker 2>give them a spiritual inheritance, you'll give them the ability

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 2>to do anything in life, the ability to be who

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>they were created to be, the ability to make their

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 2>own money. Come on the ability. It's great if you

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 2>can leave the money. It's great if you can leave

0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 2>them other things, manners and good things. But the greatest

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>thing you leave, you leave your offspring a spiritual inheritance.

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 2>As he stood up in the assembly, so God got up.

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 2>They got up, and this is what he says. Do

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 2>not be afraid, and do not be discouraged. Don't have

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 2>a nervous breakdown because of this vast army. I don't

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 2>care what it looks like is what God's saying, I

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.360
<v Speaker 2>don't care how many are arrayed against you. It doesn't

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:30.320
<v Speaker 2>matter how outnumbered you look. For the battle is not yours,

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 2>but it is the Lord's. Somebody needs to know that.

0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 2>For this nation, come on, for your family, for your finances,

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 2>for whatever you're facing. The battle is not yours, but

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 2>the battle belongs to the Lord. Don't try to take

0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 2>matters in your own hands, because God says, vengeance is mine.

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Verse twenty Jehosah pat says, listen to me, Judah and

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 2>people of Jerusalem. Have faith in the Lord your God,

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 2>and you will be upheld. Have faith in his prophets

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 2>and you will be successful. Say He says, have faith

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 2>in the Lord your God, and have faith in his prophets.

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Then he appointed men to sing to the Lord and

0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 2>praise him for the splendor of his holiness. As they

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 2>were out before the army, saying, get thanks to the

0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Lord for his love endures forever. Says, they begin to

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 2>sing in praise to the Lord. You know what happens.

0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 2>God sets ambushes against the enemies, and they were defeated.

0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.240
<v Speaker 2>And it takes them three days to collect the plunder,

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 2>three days to collect all the spoil. So the result

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 2>is this in verse twenty nine, the fear of the

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Lord Elder Herod. The fear of the Lord came upon

0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 2>all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard how

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 2>the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. This

0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 2>is always God's desire to bring all eyes back to him.

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 2>The fear is not I'm afraid of you, it's the reverence.

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.000
<v Speaker 3>And the respect comes back to God. The glory comes

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 3>back to God.

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 2>Now that's important because as we're talking about Psalm eighty three,

0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 2>who said let us occupy the House of God, there

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 2>were ten nations that said, let us take it over.

0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Let us be a bigger organization than God's Church, let

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 2>us have more power, let us have more this, let

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 2>us have more that they were saying, let us occupy,

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:15.800
<v Speaker 2>and we'll get into that the house of God. But

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 2>I've already taught to the House of God matters. It's

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 2>all about verse twelve. Let us take to ourself. The

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 2>house is of God in possession. So we've already studied Hebrews.

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to go through a ten Verse twenty

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 2>four and twenty five, let us consider one another to

0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 2>provoke unto love and to good works, not forsaking, an

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 2>assembling of ourself together as the manner of some is,

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 2>but exhorting one another, and so much more, as you

0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 2>see the day approaching. Assembling means a complete collection of

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:46.840
<v Speaker 2>people at the same place, and so in Psalm forty seven,

0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 2>verse nine, the Princess, which means volunteers of the people

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 2>are gathered together. The volunteers of the people are gathered together,

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 2>even the people of God of Abraham. For the shields

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 2>of the earth belong unto God, he says, When you

0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 2>you gather together, you become the shield of the earth,

0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 2>which belongs to God. We become a mighty shield in

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the earth that pushes back the force of darkness. As

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:15.080
<v Speaker 2>we gather together. Our praise corporately matters. Our worship corporately matters.

0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Come on, I'm coming together, our fellowship, our taking of

0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 2>the Eucharus corporately matters. It matters individually, but it matters corporately.

0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Psalm fifty, verse one of five. Gather my saints together,

0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.000
<v Speaker 2>and to me those that have made a covenant with

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 2>me by sacrifice. Our sacrifice matters. I went into Ecclesiastics

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>five to one. The literal translation is guard thy steps

0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 2>as thou were going to the House of God and

0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 2>approach to here, to hearken and to do, and not

0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.200
<v Speaker 2>to give the sacrifice of fools, for none of them

0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.040
<v Speaker 2>have knowledge of doing evil. They offer gifts for their

0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.680
<v Speaker 2>sins and do not turn from their evil works, for

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>they know not. They distinguish not between good and evil.

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 2>So we've studied so much of this that Romans twelve

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.720
<v Speaker 2>five says we have so we being many, are one

0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 2>body in Christ, and everyone members of another. So we

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 2>have to understand that we're part of something that is

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 2>bigger than just ourself, the bride of Christ, God's Church.

0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.440
<v Speaker 2>And we have a responsibility. This is the key part.

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:20.879
<v Speaker 2>You're ready responsibility to our position, our protection, and our

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.639
<v Speaker 2>preservation of the church. That's why it matters. When I

0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.760
<v Speaker 2>just said we won, Maybe you go, well, I didn't

0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 2>do anything to win. Well, sure we did. We've been praying,

0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and your prayers go before the throne room of God.

0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Come on, and it matters. Every time we win a

0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.639
<v Speaker 2>victory for religious liberty, we went a victory for people

0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 2>of all faith. We went a victory for church. We

0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 2>went a victory. Psalm chapter eighty three, verse twelve, who said,

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 2>let us take to ourself the houses of God. To possession.

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Houses means this pastures, pleasant places, and habitation. So what

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:03.200
<v Speaker 2>does the enemy want? He wants a habitation of the presence,

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 2>the pasture, and the place of God. Remember Exodus, chapter

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty five, verse eight. Let them make me a sanctuary,

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 2>a dwelling place, a homestead, a place that I can

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:18.280
<v Speaker 2>have habitation, not just visitation. And who's trying to take possession?

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Possession means to occupy. And this is where I'm going

0:20:21.240 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 2>today in the next thirty minutes, to occupy by driving

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:29.240
<v Speaker 2>out previous tenants, to possess in their place, or to

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.920
<v Speaker 2>rob them of their inheritance, so they will come to poverty.

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 2>So you've got to ask yourself, what's the force that

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 2>wants to pull you away from the house of God.

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 2>What is it that tries to tell you that this

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.360
<v Speaker 2>doesn't really matter. What is it that tries to tell

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.320
<v Speaker 2>you that it's really not real? What is that spirit

0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 2>that separates you from the fabric of the family of God.

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 2>What is the enemy or the devil that tries to

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 2>rob you of your inheritance of producing godly fruit? So

0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 2>what wants to move you from the habitation of God?

0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.920
<v Speaker 2>From the present, from the pastors of God. What's that

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 2>influence that tells you the House of God is not

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.720
<v Speaker 2>all that important? And that's where we're going. You ready,

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:15.040
<v Speaker 2>so say bring it on, Pastor Paula. So we've talked

0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 2>about the importance of the House of God, and I

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 2>just laid a small foundation. So let's talk about the

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.359
<v Speaker 2>influence of the House of God. What influence is it

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 2>that wants to tell you that the House of God

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.840
<v Speaker 2>is not important to you? The devil is a liar

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.400
<v Speaker 2>because you're something bigger than just your individual self. You're

0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.919
<v Speaker 2>not a single letter in the alphabet. You're the whole alphabet,

0:21:35.960 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 2>all right. You're a member of the body of Christ.

0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Now that's important because you have a responsibility for the preservation,

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.120
<v Speaker 2>for the protection. If it's important to God, it has

0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:49.960
<v Speaker 2>to be important to us. So the strategy of the

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>enemy is to take possession of the House of God.

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Let's look at Matthew chapter twelve, verse twenty two through

0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.480
<v Speaker 2>thirty seven and read you a bit. But this is important.

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 2>If you get this principle, you're gonna get it right.

0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Then was brought into him Jesus one possessed with the devil,

0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:09.720
<v Speaker 2>blind and dumb, and he healed him. Now, notice something

0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:13.120
<v Speaker 2>that before Jesus ever does any healing, he always deals

0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 2>with the devil. He always there's not healing and stuff

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 2>that he first deals with the spirit that's got a

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 2>person in bondage. There has to be if you have

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:27.840
<v Speaker 2>any kind of ministry, if there's an anointing on you,

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the anointing destroys the yoke. It doesn't just remove it,

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:37.360
<v Speaker 2>It destroys it, which means to annihilate it. So the anointing,

0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 2>God's manifested presence deals with whatever has people in bondage.

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.240
<v Speaker 2>As I preach, people get set free as we worship.

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:48.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not just that you get healed, you're first getting

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 2>freedom because whatever is holding you in that place, whatever

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 2>that demonic entity is. Now, as a Christian, you can't

0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:01.719
<v Speaker 2>be possessed, but you certainly can be oppressed. So then

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:04.399
<v Speaker 2>he was brought into him when possessed with the devil,

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 2>blind and dumb, and he healed him insomuch that the

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 2>blind and dumb both spake and salt, and all the

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 2>people were amazed and said, is not this the son

0:23:13.240 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 2>of David? But when the Pharisees heard it, they said

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:20.600
<v Speaker 2>this fellow watch does not cast out devils. They weren't

0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 2>concerned about the healing. They were upset that he was

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 2>getting people free.

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:31.719

<v Speaker 1>Thank you and God bless you.

0:24:54.800 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I love the Word because it revealed to me that

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:02.159
<v Speaker 3>I needed to be saved. But with God working with me,

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:04.720
<v Speaker 3>the Holy Spirit leaving and guiding me, giving me his

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:09.600
<v Speaker 3>mind his wisdom, my life has transformed. I was able

0:25:09.720 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 3>through the power of the basis of the blood of

0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Jesus Christ, break generational curses. My son and his children
