Who brought up the witchcraft? Who's getting rid of witchcraft, or who left it at the altar? You? Okay, okay, and anybody else? Who brought up? Okay, come up here, both of y'all, come up here, come up here, all right. Have you brought up the witchcraft? Cool, so what'd you bring up? Hold on, let's get this, get you a microphone. Thank you so much, bro. I brought up the jewelry and the cigarettes. You can let her hold it. Okay, so you brought up this, the jewelry, this is, this is good that we're exposing this, so you brought up these hamshas, right? So what made you wear these hamshas? I, I had bought them because, I mean, jewelry, I thought it was cute, and, you know, I hear it was for good luck. For good luck, right? Yeah. So you had no idea that it was demonic? No, and I, I noticed that every time I wore it, like, something happened, you know, like, something like, you know, either a disagreement, a fight, or, you know, something bad happened. So I stopped wearing it, I haven't worn it in years. You know, I've been saved for two years now. Wow. And, um. Praise God. Thank you. I had gotten a prophetic word that, um, you know, that God wanted me to stop drinking and smoking. And, um, you know, I gave it up, um, but then I picked it back up. And, um, it was actually in front of a bar. I mean, I got smacked with the Holy Spirit.

And, um. Wow. I just, you know, I, well, the first time I had, um, I went to a bar and the place got raided that night. So I was like, this is God that took me out of here. Wow. And then a couple of days later, my neighbor tells me, hey, you know, we're going to have my birthday party at a bar, um, at her bar. She owns a bar if you want to go. And I said, no, I don't, I don't want to. And I kind of explained to her what happened. And so I said, well, I have a gift. I want to bring it to you. And, um, I went to bring her the gift. And as soon as I, I got out of my truck, I just started shaking it. I felt like the fear of the Lord. Like I knew right then and there, I was like, I can't, I can't do it. So, um, you know, the smoking has been going on for 40 years. You know, my dad thought it was cute to give an eight-year-old cigarettes, you know? So I've been struggling with that, but yeah, I just, I'm, I'm done. I want to get rid of it. I have not, you know, I feel the conviction, you know, the last two cigarettes I smoked, I mean, I was just crying and smoking at the same time. So I know it's time. Amen. That's so good. Cause, cause like what you said was like, you, you're Christian safe for two years filled with the Holy spirit, still struggling with cigarette, um, you know, addiction, which you're free to, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pray for you, by the way. And then also the, the hamsters, you thought they were good luck. And I believe that there's a lot of Christians watching right now that think that you might have one of these, like a, like a hamster. Let's try to get a little zoom in. It's it's, it comes from Indian, Greek, African mythology. It's, it's from all over, but people think that it gives you good luck. They even think it protects you from evil. It's supposed to bring good fortune. Yeah. But we know that this is what the Bible calls an idol and idolatry goes against that first commandment, right? Of the 10 commandments put no other God before him. And, um, and when you do that in rebellion, whether you know it or not, cause the Bible says my people die for lack of knowledge, you give access to a demonic spirit. And that's why you said everything bad was happening, arguments, division, all these things, which is what the devil brings. And even as a spirit filled Christian, you can still allow, you can give place to the devil, like the scripture say, and now by you, I'm going to open it for you. Hold on. Getting rid of it. Go ahead. You could throw it out right there. Go

ahead. Hallelujah. Getting rid of all that and no longer has a hold of you. This is, you know, when people say I renounced this, it's good to say it, but it's, it's even better to do it. Yeah, for sure. Because if you say I renounced this, but you still hold, keep it. You didn't really renounce it. Right. And I've been holding onto that for years. And I'm like, I just had it. I was going to sell it. I'm like, well, I don't even want anybody to have it. Like I just wanted to get rid of it. And I wanted to get rid of it here. Hallelujah, man. That's good. And, and I want to just say for people online, cause people might be like, why did they do this? Why do they have to just get rid of it at home? But look, she brings it here. She gets rid of it. Millions of people can see it online. And then even though they don't come to the rock here in Orlando, wherever they're at, they're getting rid of it too. Exactly. So your testimony, your repentance. Helps thousands of people that you'll never meet amen get rid of it, too So there's a reason why we do this we don't just do this for hype to go viral like look at us Look at us guys. No, we do this. Yeah, we want to go viral. Mm-hmm, and we pray that it reaches everyone That's right that they will get rid of the demonic stuff. That's holding them in bondage So in the cigarette addiction 40 years, so I'm gonna pray for you for that right now Thank you could have another woman of God you guys come up here. We're gonna pray for it, too I'm gonna pray for some freedom just real quick one time I was in Miami and I'll never forget I prayed for this young man He had a weed addiction and he came up to me like he say feel the spirit He was like, I can't stop. I can't stop I said look I'm gonna pray this prayer and I'm gonna pray that the weed you'll never like it again that it'll give a bad taste in your mouth and he didn't believe me Really, but I still prayed prayed for him. He came back to testify. I think a few months later. I saw him randomly He was like bro after you prayed I went to go cop some weed. I smoked I couldn't get high smoked again I couldn't get high smoked again. I got paranoid out my mind and I never smoked again. He got free Right, so Thank You Jesus So I'm just gonna pray freedom But also that you'll just you'll just be disgusted like it'll be they won't even be attractive like we're gonna pray that come on Let's all pray for her.

She's free And my sister you're never gonna you're never going back. You're never gonna go back. Never got what's your name? Irene god bless you. Nice to meet you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah All right Amen real quick. I want to talk about vapes. How many y'all gave up a vape tonight? Okay, come up here real quick I never really do this but I feel that soon Because some people will say, you know, we're in the Bible doesn't say we can't vape Well, how many I had that question? Cuz I feel like the the noise dropped and everyone's like you felt that right I'll explain it. All right Man what's your name, bro? Milo Milo Milo might nice to meet you rich. What's your name?

Angie are you got together? No. Yeah. Okay, cool. So both y'all brought up the vape or just we did Okay, all three of those are okay. So how long you guys been vaping for? Been vaping for a pretty long time if you had to give a time frame, you don't you don't even know Since high school and how do you know? Wow, so over five years six years, you know, I've been smoking cigarettes ever since I was like 13 So well, then I transitioned of apes during kovat 2020s. Oh But now it's time to fully surrender that amen and amen. That's amazing, bro The Holy Spirit can big get your guys's heart So I know it's the Spirit of God's conviction But is there is there other reasons for why you guys are done is like is there something like like the Lord showed you? Why you shouldn't be smoking? Just over the weekend We were at a recovery church conference and we really got so close to the Lord And once you get closer to him the less you want to hurt him and if you're hurting yourself You're hurting him. And so I just like brought that full surrender It's like gotta keep that stuff out and keep the Holy Ghost in Man, that's that's so good, bro Y'all heard what he said, right? He doesn't want to hurt the heart of God because like a good father who loves his son or daughter Like why would he want us to have a or smoke on an object? That's worse than cigarettes that is killing us that can cause sickness and all these things because people will say well God protects me I'm never gonna get sick. It's like yes God heals you by his stripes and he protects you but if you willingly decide to go and rebel against God Like you're tempting the Lord your God and and and which is what Jesus said He wouldn't do when Satan was trying to get him to do that You know what I'm saying and like that that does come with consequences and we know just Biologically vaping kills you like it's terrible. It's just chemicals It's just bad cigarettes too, but vaping is even worse from what I've heard. So yeah, man I'm glad that you guys are done and it says right here. It says get lost. Yeah that they let the devil lost on the cross Amen, that's it

We're gonna pray for you. I just feel like to say this everybody watching online that you see these two Testimonies of people who can be smoking for so long Just like the other woman of God and just be done with it And and like they said they don't want to hurt God. This isn't like oh, I smoked the vape now. I'm going to hell like Or I drank a glass of wine. I'm going to hell like people think it's oh if I'm not going to hell I'm gonna do it. That's that that shows me you don't like he said you're not close to God He got closer to God and got more convicted The more you experience God and the more intimate you are with him like a relationship. You don't want to do it anymore It's like saying I'm married to my wife I love her so much But then I go out every weekend to the night to the bars and clubs without her and she'll never divorce me She loves me, but that's wrong Right, and what does that do it breaks her heart? So some of you that are watching right now, you might be vaping smoking whatever it is And you might be being a little legalistic. Oh, well, it doesn't say it in the Bible. Okay, it doesn't say don't vape in the Bible Don't smoke weed in the Bible But the Bible says your body's a temple of the Holy Spirit The body the Bible says to be sober right because the devil comes around like a roaring lion So there's scriptures we can use but at the end of the day man, like it's just obvious if you have a relationship with the Holy Spirit You're gonna care as you get closer to God. You're gonna be like man. I don't I don't want to do this anymore Like not from a like, oh, I'm going to hell place But like I just don't want to break God's heart and I know God wants better for me So why would I do this? It just doesn't make sense, right? So I'm gonna pray for you guys right now and just man glory be to God that you guys did this and you guys are Testimony for many people. Amen. Amen. Can I have a woman of God Dana? I come up here and help me pray you pray over her pray over him and Then you can take the mic. Thank you, bro. So father. I just thank you Lord. I Thank you again who the son says free is free indeed This is your son and daughter Lord that you love so much and just from what they said. I

Just know that's you that's he all you Lord. That's all you He doesn't want to hurt you anymore Lord. You've revealed that to him and only you can do that Holy Spirit So father, I thank you Lord right now who the Sun sets free is free indeed No spirit of addiction has hold a hold over them We break the power of Satan every spirit of addiction looses now in the name of Jesus every spirit of addiction. We thank you Lord Just looses from them right now. The Lord was showing me that that the spirit of addiction already left. I Just felt that and that is not there's not even a deliverance thing right now the spirit of addiction Already left and the Lord's pleased. So what I thank you Lord for grace and strength and Jesus name. Amen Oh Yeah, I forgot yeah, let's listen, let's come on let's expose some darkness hallelujah. Look at that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Hey, however, y'all want to do it. All right. Toss it like that. Amen Jesus name All right Who brought this up? Okay, come up there. I don't think I've ever seen this before Talk to me about it. What's this? Okay, put this okay, so what's that? Oh, it's evil. I Wow So, how long have you been saved? Um, I guess I'm not yet. Oh, you're not saved yet. You better get saved right now Hey, man, so For the people online this is just two evil eyes you guys have seen it before is demonic I've seen people comment in the reels. Why is an evil eye demonic? Well, first of all, it's an evil eye, right? But let's just take it even deeper. It goes back to roots from Greek mythology You know just voodoo Santeria witchcraft when I was in witchcraft I used to wear a $300 evil eye around my my neck and I thought that it protected me and all these things and It's supposed to keep people who are envious and jealous away from you and ward off negativity and evil But all it did for my life was make things worse spiritually. So You don't need to evil eye. All you need is Jesus and Jesus will set you free and and like yeah You don't need to evil eye. So Obviously you did you have that for protection or is it just like you did thought it was for protection

Yes, and this the same they like told me with the owl that it sees through the night And it's supposed to protect you from like dark forces. Wow. They told you that this this owl right here Yes, and this idol was supposed to protect you from dark forces. And where'd you get that out of witchcraft store a Metaphysical store. Yeah. Yep. Yep, and they they they'll change certain names up to make it sound more scientific or spiritual, like a metaphysical story. And then people think, wow, you know, like I was in that. Like I thought, oh, wow, this is different. But it's just it's all the same witchcraft, idolatry. So you didn't know, obviously. No. And God, how did he reveal it to you? How did what made you really realize I'm done with this? So this is my sister over here. Hi, sister. Recently saved. And praise God. The other day, you brought you brought your sister to Christ. She did evangelize him. Come on. Hallelujah. Amen. So the other day it moved. What did this? Yes, I've seen that happen, too. Yes, I've seen that. And I was like, excuse me. It's time to go. Yeah, it's time to go. Whoo. It gets real. It gets real. Yeah. And that's that's that's more than enough. And I believe it was the Lord allowing that to happen to show you, hey, look, it's serious. People just think it's like us, whatever. No, these are there's demonic spirits through idolatry that can attach legally to this. These are alters. They're just alters in the spirit, a point where the physical

and spiritual realm meet. And through idolatry, we allow that to happen. So being praised God now, whatever demon was doing that is obviously can't have a right over you now because you're about to give your life to Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Let's do it right now. So come up here, woman, a guy, let's pray for us. Let's lay hands on it. I just feel that, of course. Come on, sis. Amen. She wants to come up to. Come on. This is a beautiful moment because I feel like there's a lot of people in here praying for your family members, huh? Right. Praying for your brothers and sisters. This is this is it right here. Have you been praying for her? Have you been praying for her and stuff like that? How long you've been saved? In July. So, wow. One year of faithful prayer and just and God moved in one year, one year. Come on. Let's lay hands over all the hands. So what is it? So what's your name? Hey, I've never even done it like this either. This you got the spotlight on you. So so what's your name? Laura, I want you to close your eyes and say this. Say, Jesus, I believe you are Lord. You're the highest power. You're God. You died on the cross.

For my sins, your blood wipes me clean. I'm forgiven. You rose from the dead. On the third day, I repent of practicing sin. Of the idolatry and the witchcraft. And I turn to you, Jesus, fill me with your spirit. Can I pray for you? OK, so Holy Spirit, I pray right now in the name of Jesus, fill your daughter. Father, thank you right there. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, Holy Spirit. And every demonic spirit of witchcraft that's attached to her through idolatry. We command you in the name of Jesus Christ. Loose, loose, loose, leaf, leaf. Every spirit of witchcraft, every spirit of rejection, every spirit of depression, fear, anxiety. We break your power in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We command you right now by the authority given to us in Christ, by the name of Jesus, leave this woman of God alone. She's a daughter of the king now. And every demon that's in her home from the idolatry has to leave now, too. Thank you, Lord, that you've sent angels that are on assignment, Lord, that the house is clean, that this woman of God is free and who the sun sets free is free indeed. Thank you, Lord, that tonight she's going to get baptized, Lord. She's going to go under that water, Lord. Thank you, Lord. We bless her and we thank you that she is forgiven.

In Jesus name. And the church says together, Amen. God bless you. Hallelujah. Well, come on, toss that down. Whoo. Jesus name. All right. That was powerful. It's like evangelism at church, man, isn't it? Pretty cool. Come on. You write this yourself, right? OK, this or this? OK, talk about it. Come on. Mike, thank you, bro. OK, so this is somebody else. OK, so what's this like? This is a. So that was given to me about a year and a half ago by a woman. This is before I came to the rock. And it's actually from Egypt. It's it's papyrus. It's like the plant, and that's hand-painted of Egypt. And as the Lord was been telling me to clean stuff out of my house within the past week, just cleansing of the house, I just had thought of that. And- Holy Spirit convicted you. Yeah. Amen. He'll do that.

And you know, obviously, I can read Exodus in the Bible. I don't need to have it on my wall. Amen. Amen. Amen. That was good. So the other stuff is what still remained from my homosexual lifestyle. Wow. So that's actually the old picture of me when I used to look at my lifestyle. I was like, wow. Like, I was looking at it like, okay, so this is when you were- Yeah. Wow. Like full on in that lifestyle. And so I spent eight strong years in a homosexual lifestyle and God met me in my sin. I had- Wow. Give him some praise. Wow. Wow. So- Wow. What called on me was a year and a half before I really gave my life to the Lord. I had what people would call a rapture dream. You actually had one of those?

Yeah. Wow. I had a dream where I was actually living in Reno at the time and that's where I was living that life out. And in this dream, it was like any normal day, like as scripture says, you know, like the day will come and nobody will know the day or the hour. It'll just happen like that. And so in this dream, it was just like every normal average day. And I was just watching people laugh, make jokes, and all of a sudden time stopped and it felt like time stopped and you felt almost kind of like a fear, but it was the fear of like God coming, like, you know? And so in that part of the dream, I remember like everyone's heads periodically looked up and at the same time I looked up and I saw the roof of my job was gone and I saw like lightning and thunder and I heard a voice say, I'm coming soon. You need to be ready. I'm coming soon. You need to be ready. And so for about a year and a half, I still didn't repent until God gave me a second dream of Him sharing with us that He goes to prepare a place for us of many mansions. So I had a dream.

This was the dream that catapulted me into Christ and made me absolutely give up my life just like that. And basically in this dream, the Lord, I saw this beautiful valley. I saw this beautiful mansion. I've never seen such beautiful, like just landscape. It was night and day at the same time. And I heard a voice and I'm looking at this mansion and I heard a voice say, come home, you're safe now. Come home, you're safe now. And by the way, Rebecca's a faithful servant here and she's a woman of God. I just never knew this. I never knew this. Wow. Because you would never, you could never tell. And that just shows me that God has transformed you a lot. Really quick. A lot since I've been in this house. Really? Yeah. The Lord is for everyone here, for even all the guests visiting, the Lord is really in this house. He's really present. He dwells here. He doesn't just visit from time to time. He dwells here in this house of God. Hallelujah. Come on.

I'm done. Let's give Jesus some praise. Goodbye. Hallelujah. Goodbye. That's it. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. I didn't even know that. Wow. Wow. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Rebecca. Woo. And for anybody watching online, this is proof. Man, I just spoke to a, on Friday I was evangelizing to a woman that was part of the LGBTQ plus lifestyle on the live and she was crying, she was touched. And I just feel like for anybody watching right now, God can set you free, save you, but also transform you. And that's the sanctification work of the Holy Spirit. He will sanctify you, which means he changes you. So you come to Christ, you get delivered, filled with the spirit, amen. But then there's a sanctification process. And that's why she said that God dwells here because she's experienced that sanctification

and she's experienced that sanctification. And going through her process and God has changed her to the point where you can't really, I didn't know this. I didn't know that she was in a homosexual lifestyle. Like I didn't know. So it just, it shows you that God can change you from the inside out. So for anyone watching, there's hope. And when you get saved, it's not like right away, everything's just easy and perfect. No, now you've got to go through fire. Now you've got to go through a purification process where God starts, like the other, like the other woman of God, cigarette addiction. She's been saved for two years, still smoking cigarettes. And I would never, and I don't, I don't believe, tell her, oh, you're not saved because you're smoking cigarettes. No, I believe she was saved the whole time. But God started convicting her. She got, the more intimate she got with God, and then it just got to the point where she's shaking, can't even get near a bar or cigarettes because of God's spirit. That's the Holy Spirit. Same thing with the vapors, not vapors anymore, but the ex vapors. And they, um, yeah, they got, they went to a conference, had an encounter with the Holy Spirit and encounters and got closer to him. And now they just, they can't, they just, they got convicted. That's what the Holy Spirit's ministry. This is yours. Oh, what are you bringing up? Come on, come on. What you bringing up? It's another woman of God. What's that? My grandma gave this to me, um, as a key chain on my like keys. Okay. And I was afraid to come up here, but it shows like people like praising Mary. Oh, I don't support that. But my fit, like half my family, I was raised Catholic too. Yeah. That's good that you brought this up. So like anybody watching, I'm glad that you brought this up, you know, and this is a very controversial subject, but I stand 10 toes on it. Like we don't worship any saint at all. And I love that. I'll tell you this. I've had so many conversations with Catholics and even pastor Benji was telling me recently, he's been having a lot of encounters with Catholics at UCF and God is bringing revival to that, that church. And so thank you for bringing it up. Amen. Thank you. Thank you here. This is fun, man. Pick up, pick up the lid. Hallelujah. All right. Oh, this is a vape pen. Who brought this up? That's okay. Okay. Come on. Come on and testify.

Oh, it's, um, okay. Never buy wraps again. All natural blend. How long have you been, I mean, how long were you smoking for? I mean, how long were you smoking for? Um, honestly, it's still, uh, um, a temptation, a struggle or you got to get some freedom. I do. Yeah. You need some freedom. I've tried everything. Um, have you given your life to Jesus already? How long ago? Um, I got baptized here probably like a month ago, honestly. And it's still been a struggle. And I'm gonna tell you this because it's, it's to encourage people like just because you get saved doesn't mean you don't struggle. Yeah. As a matter of fact, it turns up. Yeah. It's like the fire turns up, but what the fire does is it exposes everything, right? It feels painful, but what it is, is the Holy spirit purifying you. And as you stay in the fire and let God's love just in his word and pray all that stuff, just purify you with that process will hurt. But then you come out like, and you literally don't feel it internally anymore. Like I used to be addicted to all types of stuff. I don't need to go into detail. If, and I say this all the time, if you knew who I was before I came to Christ, you, you probably would get saved. Just seeing me come to Christ. Cause you'd be like, that's a miracle. So now there's people that are in your life that through your obedience, through your sanctification process are also going to get saved because you're, you're a miracle, right? I'm trying. I'm trying. You already, you already saved your God's daughter. Yeah. Amen. Amen. Yeah. Just because you're like right now, if you go and smoke, it's should you do it? No, you shouldn't do it. You shouldn't, you should hate the sin. You should hate it. And I've been praying that prayer and that prayer, like God helped me to hate what you hate. I've been down on my face trying to just draw in closer to him. Like I've been just trying to, I don't want nothing from this word. I just want him. And I don't know. I've been, I don't know what else to do, but just to lay it at his feet. And so, yeah, I just had to bring that up here. That's been, I don't even use that. I just, I use regular rap, but I had to bring something up here to symbolize me. Just laying something. I can't no more. I can't. I want to say this before you throw it out. Like you said something like, like you're on your face, you're crying. Like this is don't forget these days. Yeah. Just don't forget these days. Cause years are going to go by. This is going to be things of the past where you're just going to be like, but don't, these are the, I remember these moments when I was going through the same

thing where I was shaking, crying, don't know what to do. And I have all these things hitting me, hitting me to watch porn, to, to, to, to drink the Hennessy again, to all these things. And I'm like going through it, but I was like, brother, I just call out to God. Like I just, I would be crying, weeping. He always came through. He all, he always comes through. Amen. Amen. So just go ahead. You throw, throw that out. Go ahead. Hallelujah. Amen. Woman of God. Let's pray for her. Come on. I need some help. Some prayer. We're going to pray for her. I believe that's it. Like, I really don't think you're going back. So father, thank you, Lord. Thank you, Holy Spirit. I pray right now that your love would fill that area of her heart right now in the name of Jesus I pray that she would hate Hate marijuana that she would never Desire it again Lord Change that part of her heart to desire you Lord, she's already been seeking you. You're so pleased. I see a smile on your face father You're smiling. You're happy.

If Holy Spirit wants to move now before the message, we honor him.

Amen? And just take that advice even in your life. If you have all these plans in your life for the day, let's say for the day and the Holy Spirit wants to change those things up and do something different, listen to the Holy Spirit. Religion tells you you must do this, this exact way. Is it good to have order and be diligent? Of course. But trust me, Holy Spirit likes to interrupt things sometimes. You might have this whole day planned and in the beginning of the day, he says, go to the park and I want you to talk to somebody. Listen to him because you don't know what could happen. Amen? So we're going to get into this message. Praise God. You guys got prayed for already, you two? No one prayed for you? No one prayed for you? I'll pray for you right now. You got prayed for already? Okay, I'll pray for you, my brother. Cigarettes? Right? Look at my eyes. Now is the night. It's over. No more bumming. No more bumming. I've known you for years, bro. It's over. And you've gotten freed from a lot of things, man. So this is it. No more.

Not even bumming cigarettes. That's the heart of repentance. Holy Spirit, I just thank you right now. You fill this heart in every area, Lord. He doesn't need cigarettes. I pray that the taste of cigarettes, he would be disgusted. The smell of cigarettes. He'd be disgusted, Lord, that he'll never go back to bumming or buying or none of that. That he'll actually help people get off of it. It's my brother right here. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen. That's it, man. Love you, bro. Love you, bro. Hallelujah. It's so cool to see family, man, and God for years and see development and transformation in people's lives. I love it. That's what the house of God is for. That's what the local church is for. The local church is not just for me to come and give a sermon and woo, yeah, everybody be cool with performance. No, I won't. If you're part of this church, I'm going to get to know you. It's not just me. It's not just me. It's everybody. We're a family.

Amen. And that's the whole point of the local church is to be discipled. You can't be discipled without intimacy. And here at The Rock, man, we have a lot of leaders and assistant leaders and pastors and just people who love Jesus. So for anybody that's been thinking about it, you know, always make sure you pray. But just know that, you know, here at The Rock, and I believe God is rising up remnant armies all around the world, man, all around the world, bro. It's happening right now. God is rising up his remnant. All right, let's talk about the power of God. The church talks about the power more than almost any other subject, but demonstrates it less than almost anything else. We quote Acts 1.8, right, about receiving power that comes from high. How many times have you heard it preached? But then we live like 2 Timothy 3.5, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. This is going to be part one of a three-part series of how to walk in the power of God. But before you can walk in it, you have to understand what it is, where it comes from. from and why most believers have access to it but never operate in it. Is the power of God only for me as a pastor to operate in at this altar? So where everybody that needs deliverance and healing has to come to the pastor, God? No. If you're saved, you can operate in that power, in that authority. And we've seen it. We've been evangelizing and I've seen people who have been saved for less than six months casting devils out in the middle of the street. I've seen people who have been saved for a few months healing the sick with crazy testimonies. It's not just for the pastor. It's for everybody. It's for the body of Christ. And again, we hear it preached, but we don't see it demonstrated. This right here is to demonstrate the power of God amongst the ecclesia here locally and globally so that people can be encouraged to go do the same thing. That's the whole point of this. But what happens here is not just only at an altar. It's supposed to be in our everyday life. I see encounters happening at stores and restaurants and, and family

group settings or friend group settings. It's not just for the church building. It's for the entire body of Christ, the real church. Amen. So let's, let's read Acts chapter one, verse eight. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses to me. This is Jesus speaking. So Jesus down on the cross was buried, rose from the dead, showed himself himself onto his disciples, walk with them for 40 days, discipling them, and then told them to go tarry and to wait, to be endued with power. Everyone say endued. Endued with power means clothed, to be clothed with power. And he said to wait for that before they go out and do anything, before they witness, before they go reach the lost. And the word power here is the word dunamis. Everyone say dunamis. Say dynamite. You see, I was praying and as I'm praying out of nowhere, boom, dynamite. Right? You see, when I'm praying and I was, I don't know where they drop or I don't know where they start. So I just started screaming deliverance or I don't know where someone, Oh my gosh, I'm healed. That's the dynamite power. The dunamis, it comes from the word dynamite of the Holy spirit. His power is dynamite. It's like dynamite. Pow. Come out in the name of Jesus, right? Be healed in the name of Jesus. You touch someone, they start shaking and that's the dynamite power of the Holy ghost. That's when you know he's moving. Not me, but the spirit of God that lives in me and that's all me. He's moving. Amen. And the word again, it's, it's the inherent for dunamis is the inherent, inherent ability, the explosive force. It's again, the root word for the English word dynamite. This is not influence. This is not charisma. This is not, not personality. This is supernatural resident, God given ability to do what the flesh is incapable of doing. This is not me making a performance speech and screaming loud. Like, no, it's not that that's not the dynamite power of the Holy ghost. That's just me being loud. The dynamite power of the Holy ghost is when you see demonstration and things actually happen. Everyone say dynamite. Say, I can walk in this, but notice what Jesus said. He didn't say you'll, you shall receive a feeling. He didn't say you shall receive an experience. He said you shall receive power. The Holy spirit was not given so you could feel God and worship and a worship service. He was given the Holy spirit was given to empower you so you could function as an agent of the kingdom of God, wherever you go, carrying the same, listen, operational authority. Jesus carried when he healed the sick, cast out demons and preach the gospel of the kingdom.

Dunamis is not passive. It is the enabling force behind every command Jesus ever gave to the church. You were never meant to just know the word of God. You were meant to execute it with supernatural backing. The Holy spirit took 120 ordinary people in an upper room and turned them into a force that shook Jerusalem invaded nations and dismantled demonic strongholds. Not because they were talented, not because they were educated, but because they were equipped with heaven's operating power for earth level assignments. Let's talk about the distinction between power and authority. Everyone say authority, say power. These are two Greek words in the Bible that most believers treat as the same thing, but it's not. Dunamis again is power, it's the raw ability, it's the explosive force, but exousia, the word authority, is the legal right to exercise that power. Luke 10 19, we quote it. Behold I've given you authority, or exousia, over all the power, dunamis, of the enemy. You were given authority that governs the enemy's power. So authority outranks power, no matter how powerful it is, every time. A police officer doesn't out muscle a truck. His badge stops it. Your authority in Christ doesn't need to overpower the devil, it overrules him. But here's the problem, most believers have authority they've never learned how to exercise and power they've never learned how to access. And the two again are not the same. Every believer has been given authority, exousia, through Christ. That happened at salvation. But dunamis, the explosive operational power, is accessed through the Holy Spirit's active presence in a yielded life. Listen to me, this is exactly why the disciples had authority before Pentecost, but Jesus told them not to move until they were clothed with power from on high. They had the badge, but they didn't have the gun. They had the badge, the authority, but he told them to go wait till they were empowered, the weaponry, before they could be sent out. It's like a cop again, who has the badge and the uniform, but shows up to a crime scene with no weapon, no backup, and no training. He has every legal right to enforce the law, but zero capacity to carry it out. And that is a believer who commands a demon to leave, but has no prayer life, no intimacy with the Holy Spirit, no holiness, set apartness, backing their words. They're quoting scriptures at the enemy with nothing behind it, like the seven sons of Sceva,

who used the right words, but had no relationship. And the demon said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you? Acts chapter 19 verse 15. Now let's flip it. Can you have power and no authority? Yes. Samson operated in raw, supernatural dunamis, but he repeatedly acted outside of divine order, submission, and covenant obedience. He could kill a lion, but he couldn't even govern his own life. Power without authority is unrestrained force, with no legal backing, and it always self-destructs. In the New Testament, think of a believer, look at this, who operates in spiritual gifts, prophesying, casting out demons, and even seeing miracles, but is living in unrepentant sin, outside of submission to any local body, accountable to nobody. That is exactly what Jesus described in Matthew 7 22, when he said, many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name, casted out demons on many wonders, and he will declare, I never knew you. The power or the gifts were real, but the function was real, but there was no relational authority behind any of it. So you need both. Authority without power is a position with no force, and power without authority is a force with no order. Think about this, if God tells me, I want you to stay in Orlando, and I don't want you traveling, and I decide I'm gonna go traveling, and and having revivals all around the world. God has not given me the authority to do that. Can I still go to different countries, and cities, and states, and operate in my gifting? I could, but God's not gonna back it up with the dunamis that he would back up if I stayed here in Orlando. If God has called you to stay in a city, but you want to go somewhere else, if God has called you to wait until the right woman or man comes into your life for marriage, but you decide to go outside of that, and say, well God has given me power, it doesn't matter, you're gonna, it's gonna, it's gonna be all messed up. It's gonna be chaotic. This is why authority comes through obedience to what God says. It comes through alignment. Everyone say amen. Look at this. This power is not self-generated, it's spirit and supplied. The Holy Spirit supplies it. Luke 24 49. Behold I send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. Again, the word

endued means to be clothed with, to be wrapped in. So the power of God is not something you manufacture through effort, discipline, or even spiritual technique. It's something you're clothed in through the Spirit. Look at this. Acts 10 38. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. Read that carefully. Even Jesus, God in the flesh did not operate in his own power. During his earthly ministry, he was anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power. Two distinct things. The Holy Spirit is the person, the third person of the Trinity who came upon Jesus at the Jordan, and the power is the dunamis. It's the operational output of that person's presence. The anointing is the spirit himself taking residence. Does that make sense? The power is what flows out of that residence when he moves. It's the difference between a power plant and the electricity it produces. The power plant is the source, the electricity is the output. You can have the spirit dwelling in you and still grieve or quench him to the point where the output is suppressed. Are y'all following me? This is why Jesus was anointed with both the person of the spirit and the unhindered flow of what that person produces. Now, if Jesus needed the anointing, what makes us think that our gifting is enough? That's all we need. The power comes from the spirit, period. No spirit, no power. More of the spirit, more of the power, and the power flows at the level of your intimacy because the Holy Spirit doesn't release dunamis through people who merely have him. Look at this. I'm gonna say this again. The Holy Spirit doesn't release that power through people who merely have him, but through people who host him. So you could be saved, and you could be sealed with the Holy Spirit, but then you live a double life, and you live however you want, and you're lacking intimacy. You're not being filled with the spirit. The Lord's been speaking to me about this all day. He says, he showed me in the scriptures that Jesus said he's going to say to many, I never knew you, and he also says in the scriptures, my sheep hear my voice and I know them. That word knew is the word gnoskos, and it means experiential, experiential intimacy. But think about this. It doesn't say that we know him. It says he knows us. So is it only us experiencing God? No, it's also him experiencing us. That's why he says, you abide in me and I'll abide in you. So God wants to experience us just like we want to experience him. If not, he wants to experience us even more. But God knows everything about me. He does. Doesn't mean he experiences you. How can God experience someone who doesn't speak to him?

How can God experience someone who doesn't spend time with him? How can the Holy Spirit experience someone who doesn't acknowledge him? He'll be right there, ignored, not experiencing you. But when you have that moment in worship, where you have that encounter, where you feel his glory and his love, and you just start saying, Holy Spirit, I love you so much. Right there, not only are you experiencing him, he's experiencing you. Just like you're like, he's like, I love you. When you're evangelizing and you're listening to the voice of God and he brings you somewhere and a miracle happens, it's not just you rejoicing and joyful, it's also him. Haven't you realized that there's even times where the Holy Spirit will remind you of something in the past that marked you and also marked him? A moment where he reminds you like, don't you remember this? Don't you have friends that you love and you say, remember, remember back in the day when we did this? The Holy Spirit's the same way. He's relational like that. He reminds us, don't you remember this? Don't you remember that? The Holy Spirit is not boring. He's not bland. He's not, he's not just there like, like a force, like Jehovah's Witnesses believe. No, he's not a force. He's a person. And because he's a person, he has a personality. And he wants to experience us just like we experience him. And I'll say this, he wants us, he wants to experience us more than we want, than we, than we want to experience him. And to know that God wants to experience me more than him, more than I, than I want to experience him, gives me assurance that every time I go to the secret place, there's going to be an encounter. That every time I acknowledge him in my kitchen, he's coming down. That every time I just posture my heart in love for him and say, I love you so much, his presence is going to, is going to engulf me with his peace. You see, this, the Holy Spirit doesn't want us doing more works. He wants us believing more in the Word of God. Because when we believe the scriptures, when we believe the Word of God, he manifests himself in our life. Because a bunch of work without believing means nothing. That's religion. But believing wholeheartedly, when we read the scriptures that says, well, the Son sets free, is free indeed. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's liberty. In your heart you know this, and an encounter happens. But if you're saying, where the Spirit of God is, there's liberty, but in your heart you don't believe that the Holy Spirit can free you, he's going to respect the decision of your heart. We have to believe in what the Word says. says, amen. We have to believe in what the scriptures say. There's a reason for the word of God. It's that we have direction so we can experience God's glory. The more you cultivate

unhindered daily secret place communion with the Holy spirit, the more his output moves through you without resistance. This is why Jesus said, I only do what I see the father doing. John 5 19. He was so close to the source, God in the flesh, that the power had no friction between heaven and earth. Oh, I love that. The power had no friction between heaven and earth. So look at this is prophesying, casting out demons and performing miracles. The same thing as operating in the power of the Holy spirit. It can be, and it also cannot be. I'll break it down. Gifts tell you what God gave you. Power reveals what you currently carry. And there's a difference between the two. And the difference is intimacy. Two people can cast out the same demon, quote the same scripture and operate in the same gift. But one is moving in a fresh fire from the secret place. And the other is running on a gift that God never took back from a relationship. They stopped showing up to. And how can you tell that difference? You look at the fruit, not the function. The gifts to the spirit don't expire based on your current spiritual condition. They're without repentance and God never takes them back. That means a person can prophesy, cast out devils and produce a miracle in someone else's life while being completely disconnected from the fresh power that flows through present tense intimacy with the Holy spirit. They can look swollen, the physical, but real scrawny in the spirit, right? The gift was given in a past season, but the power is the current output of a yielded vessel. Some people can operate in a gift publicly and be spiritually bankrupt, privately falling apart behind closed doors. A gift can produce a miracle in someone else's life while the person operating in it is being destroyed by the devil. But power rooted in intimacy produces transformation in both directions. The person ministering carries peace, holiness, consistency, and the presence of God, even when no one else is watching. This is exactly why Jesus didn't say you will know them by their gifts. He said you will know them by their fruit and Paul didn't say examine your gifts. He said examine yourselves because fruit reveals intimacy. Gifting never will. Fruit reveals intimacy. Gifting never will. You could be having a revival with a stadium packed out and be at home beating your wife. You could, you could be prophesying and calling people's addresses, addresses out and people come into Christ left and right, but then being a whole homosexual relationship. I'm, it's real. It happens so much in the church and we wonder why, why, how did this happen? This person is so gifted and then you got to be careful because then you'll start thinking, well, that was operating in a demonic spirit. No, it wasn't. It was a gift that was given

to that person from God, but what they're lacking is intimacy with the same God that gave him that gift. So be careful to say that a gift that's bringing someone to Christ or that's casting out a demon and working in miracles from Satan. Be very careful with that. If it's leading people to Christ, it has to be a gift from God, but the same person who's operating in the gifts of the spirit could be hosting a whole bunch of demons because their prayer life is lacking because they don't believe that they should flee from fornication because they, they, because they, they believe that, that, that it's all about them and it's not about God. That's what, that's what happens when you're lacking intimacy, whether you're a pastor or whether you're a new convert, you, it always, it always is, it's, it's, it's rooted in selfishness. It's rooted in pride. To think that we don't need the source means that you think you are the source. If I know I need to be plugged to the power plant of heaven through the Holy Spirit and I know that that's the only way I'm going to make it on this walk, that's the only way I'm going to stay faithful to my wife, that's the only way I'm going to be a good father to my children, that's the only way this church will continue to grow and be generationally impactful. If that's the only way, why would I think that I don't need to plug in? Why would I think that my preaching gifting or me being gifted with evangelism is all that's needed? No, that's what the world thinks. The world thinks, look at what you can do in the physical, you're good. But in the spirit, demons and angels, they're looking at your spiritual strength. David inquired of the Lord. David was strengthened by the Lord, not by himself. Saul was strengthened by himself. Saul didn't wait on the Lord. He decided to do things in his own strength. Everyone say, I need Jesus. I want you to understand this. Like you don't add Jesus to your life. You don't add Jesus to your plans. You don't add Jesus to your dreams. You actually die to all that and put them above it. And when you do that, when you actually give your life to Christ, you gain it. When I decide I don't want what I want, I want what you want. Because we're praying so many times. How many of us, we've all done it. We've all prayed for the desires of our heart. But when do we ever pray for the desires of his heart? When has your prayers ever been, God, right now, today, I pray for your desires. What do you want? I pray, your word says that you, that you want laborers in the harvest field. I pray for laborers to be sent. Your word says to pray for leaders, to pray for the government, to pray for America, to pray for Israel, to pray for the land of Israel, right? Because some of y'all will get real political. But what I'm saying is, is we have to seek the scriptures to know the heart of the Father so we

can align our desires with his. Are your desires aligned with his or are they aligned with your own word, your own doctrine? Why are we praying? I was saying this earlier at the pre-service. Why are we praying for breakthrough in our finances when the Bible says to seek his kingdom and his righteousness and it'll be added? You're praying and seeking for the things that are added instead of following the direct, the direction that allow these things to be added. So you're trying to play the role of God. God didn't say pray for financial breakthrough. He said, seek my kingdom and my righteousness and I got you. So it's not a prayer problem. It's an alignment problem. You're so focused on financial breakthrough, but you don't want to win souls. You're focused on financial breakthrough, but you're not seeking God so his righteousness can, can be, can transform you. Do you cry out for God to change your heart? You see, David was a man after God's own heart. He cried out for those things. God, I want, I want, I want your nature in me. I do cry out and say, God, I want to become like you. Or is your prayers, bless me, bless me so my life can get better. What, what power source are you plugged into? Is it your power source or have you disconnected from the world and yourself and plugged in to the Holy ghost? Because when you're plugged into the Holy spirit and that secret place, life becomes real, real, real lit, real fiery because you're, you're aligned with his desires and his, his presence is, is just engulfing you in power and love. You go out in public, he'll flow through you and it won't just be wise, contentious words. You won't be evangelizing, trying to convince somebody. Sometimes you'll get a word of knowledge and it'll wreck the person and bring them to tears. You'll lay hands and it'll shift everything in their life. I've learned that when I, when, when, when, when the spirit of God is moving in evangelism, it doesn't take long. I've had the long conversations. I've had the shorter ones. The longer ones can be fruitful at times for other people to learn some things and be discipled on the internet. But I've learned that the most powerful encounters are the ones where the spirit just gives me everything I need and it's quick. Like the woman at the well, it's quick, whether it's a word of knowledge, whether it's me praying for healing or deliverance, whether it's a discernment of something, whatever it is, whether it's just me speaking and the person just starts uncontrollably crying. Why do you think people uncontrollably cry when you start speaking? And how many have ever been evangelizing and that happened, right? And you're not even saying nothing deep. You're just saying, man, Jesus loves you so much for real. Like God loves you. He's amazing. I don't know why I'm

crying right now. I do is the anointing is the power because you've been with Jesus. He's backing you up and touching them with his love. He wants to touch them and he wants to move through you. He desires it, but he won't go against his word. So, so you can want it, but if you don't desire it, you'll never be able to access it. Wanting and desiring is two different things. I want, I want a lot of things, but I don't desire everything. You see what I'm saying? Like we can want, I want to, I hear this all the time. Pastor, I want to, I want to start seeking God more and read the word, but they don't desire it. And because they don't desire it, they never do it. Think about how many people want to start a business, but never do it in their entire life. Think about that. How many of y'all have ever wanted to start a business? How many of y'all have ever wanted to start a business and you never did it? Come on, be real. It's because you wanted to, you wanted it, but you didn't desire it. When you desire something, you're going to get it done regardless. When you want something, I mean when you want something it could be yes or no whenever you feel like it But when I desire something whether I feel like it or I don't I'm gonna get it done I desire to pick my children up from school every day. I Need to there's no other choice But I'm tired or whether I got things going on. I'm gonna pick them up I desire to spend time with my family whether I got things going on or not. I'm gonna make sure it gets done I desire to spend time with Jesus Whether everything in my life is busy I'm still gonna cut that time those few hours to spend time with Jesus because I know he's the source Is Jesus the source or is he secondary? Is Jesus being added to your life? So your life can get better so you can get more money and have a better job Is that why we're seeking Jesus so we could be blessed? Blessings are beautiful and he wants to bless us But it's deeper than that Do I just want my wife for what she can give me? Well, I just want my wife because because she gives me this and she can cook and clean imagine if I said you asked me Why do you love your wife? Oh, she she can cook and clean. I love her That's the only reason but I don't even know her. I don't even know the things she likes

We never even spend time together and talk Wouldn't that be weird? That'd be transactional. I Love my wife for what she can do not for who she is Some of y'all loving Jesus that way for what he can give you and not for who he is How do you know who he is you read about him you pray to him and Then he begins to reveal himself to you and you experience him and he experiences you You abide in me and I'll abide in you and you will bear much fruit if my words abide and You whatever you desire you'll have I got you His Word his communication when it when it's inside of you. It becomes aligned with his and that's when things start happening It doesn't take long. You know what it takes posture It takes posture. This woman is a year saved. I guarantee you She's been praying probably postured with the same heart as God I don't God knows more than I do and then her sister gets saved in a year I'm not saying that's not for everybody Some of you are laboring in prayer and somebody hasn't been saved yet and you are postured rightly Don't stop continue to but what I'm saying is like as God wants to move quicker than we want to move When we think man like God, why isn't this person saved in my life? Sometimes we think like man like God just doesn't want them saved like I mean, maybe he doesn't care about them that much No, he does. He wants them saved more than you want them saved But it takes partnership. Everyone say partnership Can God do whatever he wants? But he won't Can God do whatever he wants but he won't He won't go against his word Doesn't the Bible say he wishes he wants none to perish but all to come to repentance, but aren't there many going to hell? He desire it's necessary it's there's no there's no ifs ands or buts he he will not go against his word

He lifts his word above his very name who he is So even though the Bible says he wishes none would perish but all will come to repentance The scriptures say that there has to be a preacher that goes out to preach the word Now we're even supposed to pray for laborers to go out So what's the heart of the Father? I'm gonna go out and reach the lost and I'm gonna pray for others to go out and reach the lost to Let me stop being so self-focused on my desires But what about my come-up? What about my dreams? What about my breakthrough? Is your breakthrough aligned up with his breakthrough? Because what we see as breakthrough in Western and Western Christianity has become so carnal What does breakthrough mean to you? I want y'all to really think about that when I say Breakthrough in your life. I want you to think about that. What does that mean to you? Breakthrough for me is encountering God's glory to experience and more me and my wife have been praying this We've been praying because the season we've been going through with a lot of a lot of warfare for the last four years With my wife's with with the breast cancer and everything. She she's been going through we've been praying You know We've been saying cuz we spent so much money from she had to pull out Money that she's been saving through her 401k for so long for over a decade and it's almost empty And we know we've been praying not that God God restore the money back seven times fold You know, we've been praying God. We pray that everything the enemy stole you were put you you give us back in souls Souls forget the money souls Souls Lord Everything the enemy has stolen we pray back in souls Bring people into the kingdom God, however, it needs to be that's the heart of the father Not give me back my money God. I need my money. I don't care. He's gonna he's gonna provide and take care of us regardless I'm not tripping about that. I've seen God move so many times and in close situations where I didn't know was going to happen? Now we should be focused on his kingdom and his righteousness. His kingdom and his righteousness. And where's the kingdom of God? It's inside of you. So then how can the kingdom of God expand here on earth in Orlando, Florida? How can the kingdom of God, if the kingdom of God is in here? People getting revived. So when souls get saved tonight,

guess what's happening? The kingdom of God is expanding because it's not over there. This is what Jesus said. The kingdom of God is not over there. It's not over there, right? No. Inside of you. So when demons get casted out, that's the kingdom of darkness being expelled. When someone gets filled with the spirit, that's the kingdom of God entering that person's soul and spirit, man. They're getting filled with the Holy Spirit. Seek first the kingdom of God. So where's the kingdom of God? And what and who's inside of you? The Holy Ghost and all his righteousness, the righteousness of Christ. But, but brother, I'm positionally made a hundred percent righteous. Yeah, you are positionally, but progressively you're going through a process of, about a sanctification to, to be purified inside so you become more like Christ. So then how can I grow in righteousness? You can grow in righteousness by reading the word and praying the word and asking God to change your heart. Like David said, clean out my heart, oh God, right? Clean me. Wash me clean. Wanting to be like Jesus in the times where God shows you in an area you're not like Jesus. So when you make that mistake and you fall or you get angry or you're lustful or whatever it is, like she came up here, the addiction, that's an area of your heart that God wants to wrap in with his love. So that, so that, that thing becomes natural. Everyone say natural. Natural in nature. N-A-T-U-R. One is E and one is A-L. When things become natural, your nature has changed. You get it? So when it becomes natural to love your enemies or to forgive the people who've hurt you, right now how many are praying and you're praying for someone who hurts you and you've forgiven them but you're still hurt by him? I'm going to give you hope. There's going to be a day if you continue to stay in the spirit where it will, it will literally become natural. Where you'll look back and be like, man, like it wasn't even that serious. And you'll see the fruit of that and that person's life of God moving because you were praying for them. The best way to overcome that, that offense and bitterness is to pray for the people who hurt you. It's to labor in prayer with the right heart, with the heart of God and ask him to help you every single time. Amen. Everyone say natural. Are we supposed to naturally want to serve others? But when we first come to Christ, is that something that's natural for most people? No. We can religiously say it though. I'm going to be a servant of God and then it gets, then it's time to serve and you don't want to show up the church to serve. You say, I'm going to show up just for the service. I don't want to get plugged into a local church. I'm too, I got things to do. I got, I gotta, I gotta go do things. I don't need that. I'm just

going to go to serve. No, bro. Like it's your choice to go as deep as you want with God. God is not going to force you. That's why many are called, few are chosen. Not every, not everybody gets to see their full potential here on earth in Christ. Many get little tastes and seasons. And a lot of times it's always just testimony of God, how God broke through in this certain area and he came through. Okay. Amazing. That's a great, but then did he continue breaking through? Did he continue revealing himself to you? Or was it just something of the past? God wants to continuously show up in your life every day, every week, every month. There's supposed to be consistent breakthrough. Then how do we get there? How do we get there? One word, and it starts with the letter I. Intimacy. Everyone say intimacy. And I'm not saying this to condemn anyone to make them feel like I'm just not like this guy. No, I'm saying this to lead you to that direction. Like I'm like, I'm the guy that's like, go, go, go. That's all I am. The mascot that's pointing you to Jesus, go seek him, build relationship with him, get to know him alone, or you won't make it on this walk in Christ the way God wants you to make it. That rapture dream is crazy, huh? The rapture dream she had. I've met many people who have had these rapture dreams. That's crazy. That's, that's wild. I don't think God wants us waking up every day, wondering if we're saved. I've never met somebody who's intimate with Jesus. that ever wonders if they're saved. How can we wonder if we're saved if we've been with him? You start wondering if you're saved when you're lacking intimacy and you feel distant from God. That reassurance, that conviction of righteousness, like I'm good with God, comes simply through intimacy. Just being with him. Amen. Why most believers don't operate in power? Because they've substituted information for encounter. You can study fire without ever being on fire. For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. First Corinthians 420. A lot of believers are theologically informed but spiritually powerless. We see so many Christian podcasts on the internet and that's great. The gospel is being preached for the most part. Praise God. If Jesus is being preached, hallelujah, we rejoice. But not every single one of those are empowered by the Holy Spirit. And you can tell because what the scripture says is the backing of the power in the scriptures we don't see on that podcast or in that ministry. It's a lot of information but not a lot of revelation. It's a lot of, I know about Jesus but they don't know him personally, right? And I'm, I'm boasting. That's what the scripture says. Didn't we just read about it last week? We're supposed to boast in knowing him and understanding

him. If anyone boasts in anything, boast in this, that you understand me and you know me. We're supposed to boast in the fact that we know God. Because what does that do? It convicts others to go seek him. Not everybody. Some people get offended. The Pharisees got offended. Pharisees, they didn't like, they didn't like Jesus moving in power. Why do you think the Pharisees didn't like Jesus moving in power? Think. It's very simple. It's logical. Because they didn't have access to it. That's it. They didn't have access to that power and it pissed them off. No matter how hard they tried, no matter how hard they, they, they thought or informationally knew things. They couldn't understand how Jesus Christ of Nazareth, small little town, is over here casting out demons from the same very people that they're supposed to be discipling for generations. They think about this. I'm a pastor in the church and I know Susie and I know Susie's mom and I know Susie's grandma and we've been coming to church every Sunday and then all of a sudden Jesus Christ of Nazareth comes in the church, starts casting demons out of Susie, her mama, and grandmother and they're on the floor getting delivered from demons and I've been their shepherd and I couldn't do anything about it for three generations. Two things happen. I get convicted and say, what do I do? What do I need to do to change and and help me? Or you're casting out demons with demons and that's what the Pharisees did with Jesus. You're casting out demons with the Lord of Flies Beelzebub. You're doing this. Why don't your disciples wash their hands? They nitpicked everything. Just like we see that even now in the church. They'll nitpick and go back to a video from three, four years ago to try to get evidence. You see, that's a Pharisee. If it happened with Jesus, it's gonna happen with us and I'm cool with it. I know it's gonna come. The Bible says that persecutions will come to rejoice when they do because your reward is great in heaven. So me in heaven, we're chilling. I'm cool with it. I'm cool with the internet stuff. Like bro, like that stuff is corny to me. Like I don't, like I come from a different lifestyle. That's corny to me. I'm talking about even before Christ. I don't, I come from not even being on social media because of the things I was doing and now that I have social media, which is already in modern terms hot enough, I'm already out there. People already know my whole life. I have no other choice. I'm just, I'm just out there. I have, I have to do it because God told me to do it and now it's like man, Pharisees come left and right. They say what they want but bro, like I've learned to rejoice and like me and my wife would just

start praying for them and thanking God. Like God, thank you Lord that our reward is great in heaven and Lord may you reveal this to them because that's scary. What Jesus told the Pharisees was, let me give, he gave, he said let me, let me teach you something. When a demon comes out, it goes to a waterless place of seeking rest, comes back and finds none and enters back in seven times worse and this is what's going to happen to you because you don't believe. So what does a Pharisee show me? All the stuff they're doing on the internet, the podcasts and all the videos, low key, they don't really believe. They don't, but it looks so good. Go pastor. Oh bro. I've seen people who look real good casting demons out and preaching and doing all these things. A few years later down the road, everything comes out and I'm like, bro, I couldn't believe it. Like what? I didn't even see this coming and God has shown me. It don't matter how good it looks on camera or in a revival or a church service. If we don't have an intimate relationship with God, we will get exposed the real exposure where you can't say anything about it or repent or, or, or continue that lifestyle. So guys, it's not even just for the preacher man or the internet guy. It's for you too. You have an influential group. You have friends and family who are watching you. Do you want to be that person that is on fire for two months and all your friends and family are watching you and then you go right back? Because not only are you leading, are you being led astray? You're leading them astray because now they look at you and say, ah, this Jesus stuff was, I knew it was cap. I knew it was lies. It was just a phase. This is a phase. I knew it. I look at them. They're back in the club with me. They're back smoking that blow with me. They look at like, ah, I knew this was better than that. But when you stand 10 toes, which I believe people in here are going to do when you stand 10 toes and say, no, I don't care. I don't care. I'm not going back to that fornication with that person that was, that was, that was bringing me down. I'm not going back to those things. I'm not going back. I'm going, I'm actually going this way. I'm going this way and I'm not staying stagnant. I'm not staying still. I'm actually forward progression. So every time you go back, every time, every time they come back around, it's not, it's not the same John. It's not the same Dylan. It's not the same Denise. It's not the same Joe. It's not the same Kenny. You're a different Kenny now. Now they look at you and it gets weirder and weirder and weirder. You become deeper and deeper in the spirit and you convict them more and more. You ever seen that

or you can, they're convicted even more. You haven't seen them in a year. You've been distant praying for them. Holiday Thanksgiving comes around. What's up my cousin. Hey, yeah. What's up? How's everything going, man? I love you so much. Yeah. They're pouring up a drink. I love you too. You want to say, nah, I don't, I don't, before I was now I'm not drinking that. Now it's nah, bro. Come on. You don't got to drink that. Now you're even more confident. Now they're freaking out because you are unfazed. Your eyes look different. Your family looks different. You got a bunch of testimonies of things that actually matter and they still got the same testimony going to the bars and clubs and, and gossiping and cursing and lying and all these things, same drama, but you're not the same person. Now you're bringing light and the light can fix the darkness. And now they have two choices. They going to run further from you or they're going to come into the light. They're going to come up to you and say, look, man, like man, you've changed for real, bro. You're different. And I just been going through it, bro. And you're outside the house and everyone's inside for Thanksgiving dinner. You're outside the house with your cousin, the gangster one, the one who never would break. And you come out in the name of Jesus and they're getting delivered, right? That's how it works. That's how it works. It's everyone say power. It's power. Because when you walk into that house, you're not walking in as John, you're walking in John with the Holy ghost and power. So when you begin to speak at that table, they start feeling things and demons start trembling and they start trembling because there's demons in them, but you're eating your Turkey and you're having a good old time. And they're over there. They can't even eat because they're so their stomach is turning. I've seen, I've seen that. I stomach doesn't feel too well right now. I just, I don't feel like to eat. I don't want to eat your right. So, right. And the Holy spirit says that they can't eat because they're being convicted right now. It ain't, it ain't because of no food poisoning. It's because they don't know how to act because the atmosphere you're walking in is too much for them. That bro, this is real spiritual. You can walk in a bar and things start happening. You can walk down and wall street and things start happening. Things start getting drawn to you that, that you've been praying for. I go out downtown. When I go on Fridays, bro, it's lit. Things are going to happen. I don't know what's going to happen, but things are going to happen and things always happen. We're in Orlando as baptized. So is it normal on a Friday at 7 PM to baptize three people in a fountain, which we repented of. We're not doing that anymore. Okay.

We're going to get an actual trough and do it the right way. Cause it's not the right way, but anyways, God has grace and mercy. We repented. But what I'm saying is that's not normal. Why do people want to give their life to Jesus? Is it because of the charisma and personality? No, because that Friday night it wasn't even me. I didn't bring one person to get baptized, it was three other people. Was it because they were so nice or personal? No, it's because they walk in power. It's the dunamis that drew the person, that drew Kevin, that drew all. It's so funny, my two camera, my brothers in Christ that do the camera stuff, two out of three, their names are Kevin and Stephen. Guess who got baptized? A Kevin and a Stephen. In front of Kevin and Stephen. They were like, what's your name? Kevin and Stephen. And Stephen was like, what? Kevin. God's, that's God being funny. That's God like, look, I can do whatever I want. Everyone say power. I think you guys get the message for part one. Power comes through intimacy. Power comes through knowing Him. You don't just want to flow in gifts but have no power. Power comes through the Spirit of God releasing His power through you because you've been connected to the source. Amen. And that's why the baptism of the Holy Ghost is so important. It's when the Spirit of God comes upon you in power. We're going to get into that, but right now what I want to do, I want to go straight into it. If you want to give your life to Christ or for the first time or even come back to walking that narrow path because you've been far off and you're watching online, you can put a one in the chat. And if you're in this place, I want you to come up here right now. I think you're already convicted. Come up here right now and we're going to pray for you and we're going to lead you to that true confession of your faith first from your heart out of your mouth. Come up to the altar if you want to give your life to Jesus. Come on. Hallelujah, man. Hallelujah. Amen. All right. I'll wait for some more people to come up. I know there's more. You guys can come on up, man. Come on up. You're going to get filled with the Holy Spirit and power. Ye must be born again. Exactly. You must be born again. You must be born again.

I know that's Kanye's brand, but still powerful. God can use that. And we still, we're praying for him too. Amen. We pray for people of influence because if they get saved, what happens? A lot of people get saved. We pray for those type of people, man. They're under demonic bondage to literally like rulers of darkness, demonic powers of, of, of ranks that, that you probably more than likely have never experienced in your life. Atmospheres and oppression that you've never experienced things that are worse than the things that you go through. That's why we got to pray for these people because once they get loose from those things through intercession, their eyes can be open to the light of the gospel of Jesus and they'll get saved. And then when they get saved and they get filled with the power of the Holy ghost, that's a lot of people that can get saved, man. A lot of people. So y'all ready, ready for surrender and baptism. We got baptisms today too. How many are going to get water baptized? Amen. You too. Baptism is a, I know that we've been taught that baptism is supposed to be done as a baby and all these things. Baptism is when you believe this gospel I'm about to preach truly in your heart. You confess that thing from your mouth when you, when you believe in your heart and you repent, which is naturally going to happen when you truly believe, when you believe the gospel and you repent, that's when you go into that water and you die in Christ and you rise a new creation. It's an anti-type. The Bible says it's, it's powerful. It's spiritual when it's done by done with faith. But the key is faith. Everyone say faith. It's not about the water. If you don't have faith, you're not saved through water. You're saved through by faith. That baptism is the first step of discipleship. That's when that's that, that's that physical obedience that births a spiritual reality through faith. It's the power of the Holy spirit that manifest that comes upon you out of that baptism water. You ever realize how people get baptized and they come up shaking, crying, getting delivered. It's because the, because of the person's obedience to the word of God, the spirit of God, everyone say Holy ghost, not the water, the water ain't doing nothing. It's just water, but the spirit of God. comes upon them in power, not the water, the Holy Spirit, because they've been obedient to the word of God. The Bible says that Jesus was baptized. I need to be baptized too.

Bible says you believe, you repent, you go get baptized. That's a command. So when I get baptized because of my faith in God's word, the spirit of God comes upon me in power, deliverance. People get baptized in the Holy Spirit, healed out of the water. We've seen deaf ears open up in the water. We've seen all types of miracles coming out of that water. We've seen a man that couldn't even walk in a wheelchair, get literally picked up and put in the tub, gets baptized, comes out the water, picks up his wheelchair, throwing it on the stage. We've seen things because of the power of the Holy Ghost. Y'all ready? The gospel is this, it's good news, but first you need to know the bad news. The bad news is that humanity fell. Through Adam and Eve, the first two that God created, God had a plan. He had a plan to bring his kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven. He had a plan for us to have dominion and expand and take territory for his kingdom here on earth and for everything to be good. But he gave Adam and Eve free will. They were tempted by Satan. In the garden, we know the story, it's real. And God told them, do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

They could eat from every other tree, but don't eat from that one. Free will, which brought temptation, and Eve going against the word of God, out of alignment, rebelling to eat from that tree to know good and evil, because before that, all she knew was God. She was in relationship with God. He walked with them in the cool of the day. It was habitual, it was habitual presence. It was habitual habitation. God was with them, but the minute that she ate and then Adam ate, they both fell. And the same very voice that guided them in the garden brought fear to their lives. And when God pulled up on them and said, Adam, where are you at? Even though he knew where Adam was at, that's when Adam was hiding, fearful, condemned. That's when humanity fell. That's when death was allowed into the world, an expiration date on our body. That's when curses were brought on Eve and on Adam, and now we have to go through this life for 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 years, whatever it is, and we have to die. And all of us know this, and we think that this life is so important, even though we're gonna all die. And everything that's been produced in this world, the vanity, the money, the buildings,

I mean, just the culture, all these things that people idolize, all these things were created as a false heaven by Satan through humans. Satan created his own little version of heaven here on earth to deceive us because he hates God and he hates us because we're made in his image. And Satan wants to be God so bad. So all these generations go by, people living and dying, living and dying. We hear about the patriarchs of the faith. We hear about the prophets, prophesying about the Messiah to come, the Savior, who was gonna come and free, and free the Israelites, free the people of Israel. And none of them understood what it really meant, except for a few, like David. And then finally, Jesus pulls up, born of a virgin, supernatural conception, born of the Spirit of God, had to go through life just like us, the fullness of God bodily, the book of Colossians says. Emmanuel, meaning God, is with us. God finally came to be with us, revealing himself, his nature, his character, his essence to humanity so we could understand who God is in our finite minds. The physical revelation of God, the pattern was revealed to us, the way.

And Jesus, at the age of 30, was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. Spirit of God came upon him like a dove bodily, went to the wilderness, was tempted, beat the devil by the word, came out in power, and started his ministry for three and a half years. He went from city to city, moving in the Spirit and power, casting out devils, healing the sick, raising the dead, cleansing the lepers, the blind were able to see, the deaf were able to hear, and he preached, repent, the kingdom of God, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Without him in need, the kingdom of heaven was at hand until they fell. And then what became at hand after the fall? The kingdom of Satan. Finally, Jesus came to restore, like, yes, now the kingdom of heaven is here now. It's time. It's go mode. Repent. Turn away from following the kingdom of Satan, the world, and turn to the kingdom of heaven. It's time. I'm the Savior. I'm here to save you. I'm here. It's time. And many people follow Jesus because of the miracles he did and the power that he operated in him, operated through him, but not everybody believed. He knew that would happen, and after three and a half years, he gave himself in. He knew he had to. He had to fulfill the prophecies, the messianic prophecies. He had to fulfill the scriptures. The Bible says in the book of Leviticus that blood is life, and the scriptures also say that sin is death. The wages of sin, one sin, everyone say one sin, is spiritual death, which is separation from God for eternity. And we've all sinned and fell short. If you've ever lied, if you've ever cheated, if you've ever stolen, if you've ever lusted, if you've ever had murder or anger in your heart, or you fought somebody, you have sinned and fell short of the glory of God. That's what the Bible says. All have fell short of the glory of God, but there's one human, fully God and fully man, who walked this earth, who never sinned, who knew good and evil, but never sinned. And who is it?

What's that man's name? Jesus Christ. And Christ is not his last name. Christ means the anointed one. Jesus, the anointed one. Anointed is power. Everyone say power. So what backs up the deity of Christ according to his name? The anointing power. Whoo! So good, huh? The anointed one, the Christos. And Jesus gave himself in after three and a half years to be betrayed by Judas for some, for some, a few shekels, to be, to be arrested. He gave himself in to be arrested, knowing that he was about to go through an excruciatingly painful death, that he was going to suffer. And what he was taking, that suffering, is the, is the consequence, is the judgment for the sins of the world. Because God is a just judge. And because he's just, every sin that's committed requires punishment. So Jesus took the full punishment of the sins of the world physically in and on his body. This is why when we take communion, and we take, and we remember the body of Christ, we're remembering the body that he willingly took on. He willingly gave in. He willingly received the stripes, and the beating, and the scourges, and the lashes on. All the suffering physically that he went through was for us, so that we can be healed, delivered, so that we could be saved, so that we, so that we can know God, so that we, we could actually have the nature of Christ in us, was because of what Jesus did with his body. And he gave himself in, and he went on the cross, and said it's finished. Why? Because Satan thought in his prideful mind, if we kill the Messiah, because even Satan knew that that was the Son of God, that that was the Messiah, the only begotten of the Father, and Satan thought if we kill him, he won't judge us. Because Satan and all his fallen angels, they all know they're going to the lake of fire. They all know on judgment day, there's no repentance. They're done. And Satan thought when Jesus came, born of that, of the Virgin Mary, Satan thought that Jesus was coming to bring judgment, but Jesus was coming to rescue us. But he will come back and bring judgment. There will be a day where he comes with vengeance. But Jesus didn't come that time. When he came over 2,000 years ago, he didn't come for judgment. He came to save. And on that cross, he said it's finished. He took the, again, he took the full physical and spiritual torment. Imagine all the way that sin makes you feel guilty, condemned, and separated from God. Jesus, the second person of the Godhead, felt that separation that sin brings with the weight of the sins of the world. He suffered for us and died. And at that moment, Satan realized we lost. Because Satan and the whole demonic kingdom killed an innocent man. I remember I said that the wages of sin is death. And even Satan and these demons have to abide by the word of God. They can only accuse us from the word of God. And at that moment, they realized we legally were not

supposed to kill him, which brought judgment on his head. And that's why the Bible says on the cross. every principality in power was disarmed and made a public open embarrassment of because his entire plan didn't work it backfired on his head top at that moment he realized oh my goodness I just messed up and he was disarmed and at that moment Jesus gave us a way to salvation then he was buried and he borrowed that tomb that wasn't Jesus's to me that's why it had to be borrowed because he wasn't gonna stay and then he rose from the dead on the third day by the power of the Holy Spirit Wow same power that just cast that demon out of her raised him from the dead showed himself onto his disciples and breathed on them and they received the Holy Spirit then the Bible says that after 40 days he rose he ascended to be seated at the right hand of the Father the cloud took him the Shekinah the glory the cloud took him took him and he's right now in heaven in his glorified body and sent the Holy Spirit to help her so we can experience God and actually be empowered by God now in this period amen so salvation the good news I know just gave a long message salvation is simply by grace through faith grace is his power his empowerment and it's through your faith if you believe the scripture says in Romans 10 9 that he's Lord and that he rose from the dead Lord meaning you believe he's the highest power that he's God in a body Jesus is God he's not just a prophet he's not a he's not under the father like Jehovah's Witnesses think he's not just a just a monk or or a good teacher no Jesus proved that he's God through his resurrection no other great teacher no other philosopher no other guru rose from the dead but Jesus did and Jesus is still alive that's why Jesus is Lord he's God Jesus is Lord that's what it means and then you submit to him like God you're my Lord I'm following you right that's a that's a heart submission and you believe he rose from the dead and you repent the Holy Spirit will fill you and you'll be born again not your life will become better no you die to your old self that's what baptism represents you die to your old man your old man dies and you rise a new creation clothed in the righteousness of Christ with that mind of of peace that mind of of I know assurance I am God's child amen and only the Holy Spirit can
