good morning my friends i'm pastor
Steven Brooks. welcome today to our
online internet around the world church
service i'm so happy that you're here
and i believe that god's word is going
to build you up real strong real strong
in the faith to do all that he's called
you to do and to be the person that he
has called you to be praise god
let's take our bibles today and go to
psalm 35
let's take a look for a moment at verse
27 a very famous verse
and we're going to bring the titans and
offerings into the storehouse of the
lord but first let's build our faith for
god's best for our finances
by seeing what his word has to say
concerning god's plan for us financially
psalm 35 verse 27
let them
shout
for joy and be glad who favor my
righteous cause
and let them say continually let the
lord be
magnified excuse me magnified
who has pleasure in the prosperity of
his servant praise god now
when it says let the lord be magnified
that word magnify in the hebrew means to
elevate the character of god as being
great exalted and glorious
and so our lives should magnify the lord
how about this
i believe that
the blessing upon of the lord upon our
lives
even the blessing as it pertains to
finances should bring glory and honor to
the lord so we want to magnify the lord
and here it says
that he has pleasure in the prosperity
of his servant
now servant would be
what we would know as the language of
the old testament but in the new
testament we're not just servants
although we do serve the lord but
primarily we are now in a different
position
because we are in the family of god and
we are viewed by god as being sons and
daughters so this is much more personal
now in other words
let the lord be magnified who has
pleasure in the prosperity of his sons
and daughters and we're looking at that
through the eyes of new testament
believers
this is also very important
let them say continually
and i think it's important to say this
continually
and what are we going to say we're going
to say let the lord be magnified who has
pleasure
in our prosperity look
every time you go to the pump
to fill up your car
or your truck or whatever it might be
your van or whatever it might be uh
even if it's an electric vehicle and
you've got to charge it you know some of
those charging stations aren't free
uh the early ones were uh you know were
in your grandfathered in but if you buy
a new electric vehicle
you're going to have to also be paying
for the charge
so whether you're charging or filling up
at the pump don't say oh i can't believe
how much gas prices are i can't believe
how long it takes to charge this vehicle
and how much money it cost no don't do
that every time you're at the pump and
you have to fill it all the way up fill
it all the way all the way up in faith
and don't grumble or complain but say
the lord has pleasure
in my prosperity i magnify the lord he
has pleasure in my
prosperity whoo praise god
look every time you go to the grocery
store
and
uh you know it's obvious that prices in
groceries have have gone up and it
doesn't take long to put a few things in
the cart you're at a hundred dollars and
if you have need for more you could hit
200 300 just by throwing a few more
things in there and you're thinking wow
food seems to cost a lot more than what
it used to
my friends when you are shopping for
groceries and you're at the grocery
store
while we are aware of that in the
natural don't proclaim that as being
your confession don't talk about oh i
can't believe how much uh you know
bananas cost no instead say
as you buy the bananas and as you put
them in your cart say blessed be the
lord let the lord be magnified who has
pleasure in my prosperity and then go
put a few more things in that shopping
cart praise god do you see what i'm
saying you're having a prosperity
mentality which is a biblical mentality
instead of a mentality of lack
whenever you have to
purchase clothes and you're buying
things that you need maybe for work or
maybe just for whatever maybe you want a
pair of jeans or a pair of shoes my
friends when you go to make that
purchase don't say oh this is this is
really draining my wallet don't do that
say
praise the lord because the lord has
pleasure in my prosperity whoa praise
god purchasing should not be
painful
purchasing should be
praiseful
praise the lord
i want to say it again purchasing should
not be painful
purchasing regardless of what it is
purchasing should be praiseful lord i
praise you you have pleasure in my
prosperity and i'm so thankful to you oh
god that i can afford these things and
purchase these things some of these
things for myself others as that i could
give as a blessing
praise god
look at the beginning of this verse let
them shout for joy
and be glad there's something about
shouting when it's done in faith
it releases spiritual power praise the
lord in other words
some people say well pastor stephen i i
would never want to say something like
that
for example in the grocery store while
i'm putting the food in the cart
i would never want to say something like
praise the lord for he has pleasure my
prosperity pastor stephen somebody might
hear me
yeah yeah
the devil would probably hear you and
that's the person that needs to and it
wouldn't hurt actually for some others
to hear you make that confession as well
praise god because
the lord and the angels and all of
heaven and all of the invisible forces
on the side of light and on the side of
darkness they need to know where you
stand with your confession praise god
and there's something about saying it in
faith praise the lord when you go up to
that pump not terrified and afraid you
know of how much that's going to pull
out of your your debit card or something
like that no just walk up to it
grab it and as you fill up fill up in
faith and say praise the lord i mean get
into it just like the scripture says
shout that there be a shout and say and
do it continually let the lord be
magnified who has pleasure in my
prosperity i am a child of god
[Applause]
whoa praise the lord and you can just
get into a kingdom mindset like that
hallelujah
by the way no parent is ever happy to
see their children in a place of lack or
insufficiency no father for example
would stand up in church and give a
testimony saying i just want everybody
to know that i give god praise and glory
that my two children don't have enough
food to eat
well they would think you've lost your
mind and to do something like that would
be a indicator that something is
seriously wrong the elevator is not
going all the way to the top but my
friends we we we don't make confessions
like that and we don't have an
understanding like that
and so at the same time why why would
any christian think that their lack
in the eyes of the father god is somehow
pleasing to him
why why would a christian think that
their inability to pay their bills or to
meet their basic needs of life somehow
makes god excited
where god looks down from heaven and
says oh i'm so proud of your lack that
really that really made my day
i'm excited about that
no
because he's your father and he loves
you and he cares about you
oh praise the lord see god takes
pleasure in your prosperity so with a
thankful heart
we need to embrace god's plan of
prosperity for our life and we need to
believe and we need to speak in harmony
with what god believes and what he has
declared in his word
and we do not need to let the devil or
religious fuddy-duddy tradition lead us
off into error and try to get us to
where we confess and say and think
things that are unbiblical but my
friends we need to stick with the word
of god see i'm teaching from the bible
the bible
is good enough for me praise the lord
god has pleasure in your prosperity well
pastor steven that that word there's
people out there that don't like that
word yeah that's why they're poor
that's why they're struggling that's why
they have to play games and they have to
compromise their biblical values because
they don't believe in following biblical
principles so they have to do things the
world way that's why they have to as we
say out in the world you have to kiss up
you have to humiliate yourself you have
to you have to grovel or beg or do stuff
like that that way the government gives
you a little
about block of free cheese that way the
government might give you a free cell
phone oh it'll never be an apple or a
samsung it'll be something that hardly
has any reception but if you if you kiss
up to them enough they'll give you maybe
some free peanut butter also
and so when you when you don't know
covenant you're left to having to work
it the way the world works it
and that's just a very deplorable the
way to have to live your life because
trust me the enemy loves to degrade if
anybody christians believers
wants to see them in a place where
they're financially humiliated
but when you know the word you can stand
on the word and you know that you are
you are in covenant with almighty
jehovah god and you don't have to play
games hey if you wash my hand i'll wash
yours if you do me a deal back there in
the black room i'll do a deal for you
later
now you don't have to do stuff like that
you don't have to take bribes you don't
have to compromise your morals or your
principles
to go up to go up with god you obey his
word
thank you jesus
god has pleasure
in your prosperity now let me share this
because of the special season that we
are in
tomorrow is monday of course today
sunday tomorrow monday evening september
the 20th begins the fall feast which
around the world is known as the feast
of tabernacles and the feast of
tabernacles is a week-long festival
lasts for seven days
and
this
tabernacle's it's a
it's a feast that commemorates and when
i say the word commemorate what i mean
by that is it keeps alive the
remembrance
of what god
did for his children the children of
israel
when they came out of egypt and they
wandered in the wilderness for 40 years
and they would they would go about
whenever they would stop they would set
up their little dwelling structures
which were like these little booths or a
sukkoth that would be called in the the
hebrew
so
or sukkah and so they were just these
two very very temporary structures
and you know the top of it could be
covered with reeds or willow branches
and things like that but it was
something that was very portable very
very movable and so during the feast of
tabernacles
many of the jews still will put up a
sukkah
outside of their house or maybe in their
backyard and the rabbis say as long as
you at least have one meal in a day
you are keeping the feast but there's a
lot a lot of jewish people even a lot of
christians that
in their heart of in their way of
connecting with the feast they'll even
spend the night in their sukkah and
maybe have uh breakfast lunch and dinner
there as well praise god but i think
it's fascinating because the feast of
tabernacles is the last
of the three great pilgrimage feast when
all of the jewish males were required to
appear before the lord in the temple or
the tabernacle there in jerusalem and we
see that requirement in exodus chapter
23 verse 17. so there's seven major
feasts but out of the seven you only
have three
where the males were actually required
to go to jerusalem and of course the men
so often would bring their their wives
their children so it's a whole family
event it was a wonderful time praise god
now let's take a look at
leviticus chapter 23 just for a moment
we're going to receive the tithes and
offerings in just a minute leviticus 23
and we see verse 41
you shall keep it
as a feast to the lord for seven days in
the year it shall be a statute forever
in your generation you shall celebrate
it in the seventh month you shall dwell
in booths for seven days
so sometimes the feast of tabernacles is
called the feast of booths or the feast
of the inn gathering because it's during
this time that the primary harvest crops
would be brought into the harvest
it was a very wonderful time of the year
for the jewish people
and they would of course as it says
dwell in booths for seven days
and verse 43 that your generations may
know that i made the children of israel
dwell in booths when i brought them out
of the land of egypt for i am the lord
your god
so
by dwelling in those booths for seven
days
out of the year
it it made the jewish people understand
that god first of all protected us
delivered us
and provided for us all during those 40
years even in those little bitty
structures that we lived in
while we were traveling about god took
really really good care of us
but the feast of tabernacles my friends
has uh
much
deeper implications as well let's see
this in the book of zechariah
zechariah chapter 14. i really like this
one verse 16
and it shall come to pass
that everyone who has left of all the
nations which came against jerusalem
and of course now
the setting of this is after
the antichrist system
has collapsed
and uh you know the antichrist uh and uh
the beast the false prophet they've been
gathered up they've been thrown into uh
their place of destruction
and you have
you have just
decimation and destruction all over the
world and you have the nations that came
against jerusalem you had those that
survived but now they are still on the
earth
and we're seeing all of this wrapped up
and pulled together as we're now going
into the 1 000 year reign of christ
which theologians call the millennial
reign big fancy word that means a
thousand years uh the one thousand year
reign of jesus on the earth
again it shall come the past and
everyone who is left of all the nations
which came against jerusalem shall go up
from year to year to worship the king
the lord of hosts and how about this to
keep the feast of tabernacles so during
the millennium it's very important that
you know this
during the 1000 year reign when jesus
rules and reigns over the whole world
from jerusalem
the primary feast
during the reign of christ will be not
passover and not pentecost it will
actually be the feast of tabernacles
whoo glory to god
let me say this also
out of all of the feast
when you look at their prophetic
symbolism and their meaning
the prophetic meaning of all of the
feast has been fulfilled except for one
which is what the feast of tabernacles
because the feast of tabernacles which
is also called the feast of the inn
gathering
really speaks to the inn gathering at
the end of the age
of
all of the gentile nations coming to
christ now not all of the nations will
turn to the lord but it's going to it's
going to seem like entire nations do
turn to the lord and there will be
multitudes come to the lord in the great
end time
harvest and this is one of the main
reasons why also this feast will be very
very special even central during the
rule and reign of christ now
verse 17 and it shall be that whichever
of the families of the earth do not come
up to jerusalem to worship the king the
lord of hosts on them there will be no
rain so jesus will say
hey if you're not going to come
celebrate this feast
and you're not happy with that i'm king
over all the earth and i'm running i'm
running this planet finally the way it's
supposed to be run if you don't come up
you're not going to get any rain over
your country
verse 18 if the family of egypt will not
come up and enter in they shall have no
rain they shall receive the plague with
which the lord strikes the nations who
do not come up to keep the feast of
tabernacles
this shall be the punishment of egypt
and the punishment of all the nations
that do not come up to keep the feast of
tabernacles well this is certainly a
feast that we should be keeping because
it's going to be kept
in the coming generations when the lord
is here it's going to be kept for a
thousand years non-stop
and everybody's going well i don't want
to go
you're going to go you're not gonna get
any rain
and a plague will be sent against you
praise god so we need to have an
understanding of the various feasts
particularly the the three primary feast
and also what we're going into tomorrow
night at sundown tomorrow night it
starts for seven days the feast
of tabernacles one more thing that we
need to know and then we're going to
jump into today's message
but first deuteronomy chapter 16
verse 16
three times a year
and that would be passover pentecost and
tabernacles three times a year all your
males shall appear before the lord your
god in the place which he chooses and of
course that would be jerusalem that's
where he chose
at the feast of unleavened bread
at the feast of weeks okay unleavened
bread passover feast of weeks pentecost
and at the feast of tabernacles and they
shall not appear before the lord
empty-handed
well pastor stephen what shall i bring
god instructs us what to do in verse 17
every man
shall give as he is able according to
the blessing of the lord your god which
he has given you you'll never give
anything that god didn't first give you
is that not an amazing thing even david
when david was pulling all of his
resources together to contribute to the
future building of the temple that his
son solomon was going to build
david made his own offering out of his
own
personal
wealth
and he was a multi-billionaire
and uh now i know that that may not
sound true to some people but if you
look at what's listed there and you look
at the wealth that david had he was he
was a billionaire at least most likely
most likely
multi-billionaire and solomon was way
off the charts
could have even been uh a trillionaire
now
it is important to understand that even
david when he prayed to the lord when he
was making his offering he said he
basically said if i want to paraphrase
this he said lord i'm giving you all of
this
as an offering for the temple but he
said lord the reality is that you gave
it all to me so i can only give what you
have already given to me
so my friends all we have to do
is just be a blessing
according to what god has given to us
you can't give something that you don't
have so all you have to do is do what
the holy spirit would have you to do
every man shall give as he is able
according to the blessing of the lord
your god which he has given you let's do
this today
let's bring the tithe in into the
storehouse the tithe is holy the tithe
is separate it already belongs to the
lord
that's 10 of all of our income scripture
says it belongs to god we bring in it to
the storehouse so that the gospel can be
preached smoothly and efficiently all
around the world praise god but my
friends we also have
special times where we can sow special
seed
and i would like for you to do that
sometime within these seven days you may
be able to do it today you may say
pastor steve but i've got it i've i've
got something that i would like to do i
would like to sow my tabernacle seed
well go ahead and bring it right on in
praise the lord with your tithe and with
your offering just bring it on in we can
call it the tabernacle seed
and that's what i want to identify it as
so bring in your
your tithes to the lord and also let the
holy spirit speak to you and show what
you should do for your tabernacle seed
glory to god it's very very exciting
pastor stephen what should i do well you
should do as you were able to do
according to the blessing of the lord
your god which he has given you whoa
praise god so just
pray and ask the lord what you should do
and simply
execute that obey praise god walk it out
do it and i believe
that before this year is out
i believe that
you're going to see the breakthrough of
some very beautiful things
in your life so just honor the lord
these are three feasts that we are
instructed that when we come before the
lord
do not come before the lord empty-handed
well lord i'm just here to say hello
lord i lord i see you sitting on your
throne there jesus god god god bless you
jesus said did you bring anything oh no
i just showed up here i'm just so happy
to see you
but the bible says when you come don't
come empty-handed praise god so bring
something as we would say in each hand
let your hands be full
lord i've got something for you
boom here it is praise god sow it in
faith
your tabernacle seed husbands and wives
talk it over so that you're in agreement
you're in harmony together of what you
should do and then release that seed
bring it in two
bring it into
god's
soil
of this ministry and i believe that
jesus will touch it
multiply it and do a miracle in your
life i don't say that lightly i believe
god does miracles sometimes miracles can
be so smooth
that you're like wow that was so easy
well that's because god did that thing
he allowed it just from the goal like
that to smoothly work out and i think
you're going to receive some very smooth
no sweating type miracles praise god

all right today
let's go over the second kings chapter
three
i'm going to call today's message winner
take all
second kings chapter three
i was trying to look up some
uh images to grab a picture
that i could uh post on some of our
social media
uh accounts where uh
our admin team that plugs those images
in could pop something up and it seemed
like every time i typed in winner take
all it took me to a gambling website
all the images were about gambling well
today we're not going to talk about
gambling
but there is an element in spiritual
battle
where
the winner really does take all you can
take every single thing on the table
like those old western movies when
they're they're gambling got all these
guys paying poker and all this money is
on the table only only one person's
getting all that money and that's the
winner and uh he's going to take every
single thing and we want to talk today
about the winner that's you taking all
that belongs to you in christ glory to
god
let's pray heavenly father as we go into
your word today we ask that your holy
spirit would bring illumination
and unveiling of truth that our eyes
would see it and that we would act upon
it swiftly in jesus name we give you
praise
amen
and amen
second kings chapter 3
and let's drop down to
verse
24 praise god
so when they came to the camp of israel
israel rose up and attacked the moabites
so that they fled before them
and they entered their land killing the
moabites well now praise the lord look
at this israel
finally has some momentum
maybe they could uh get those moabites
back under servitude again
of course nobody
wants to be a servant
not even the devil wants to be a servant
the devil wants to rule
so this has to be something that's done
through enforcement
and uh
we see that israel they're doing good
got some momentum all right things are
going in the right direction verse 25
then they destroyed the cities
and each man threw a stone on every good
piece of land and filled it
they stopped up all the springs of water
cut down all the good trees
but they left the stones of kerr
hero seth intact however the slinger
surrounded and attacked it
and when the king of moab
saw that the battle was too fierce for
him
he took with him seven hundred men who
drew swords to break through to the king
of edom but they could not
now
the king of moab
these
various nations surrounding
israel
were tribal type nations in other words
this is not like germany france or
something like that these are these are
small tribal nations
but they've been there for a long long
time and they don't have any intention
of leaving to them what is their
tribal land
and so um neither they want to be
subjugated where they're taxed and uh
you know made to
pay a certain amount of money every year
or something like that or or even worse
than that be placed in a servitude where
you've gotta you know chop all the
firewood and dig all the wells and stuff
like that
well
we see that there has been an alliance
between three
groups three armies the king of israel
and also the nation of judah led by
jehoshaphat and you have edom also and
they group together
and they are on the move together and
they're now going against
the moabites
and this is very very interesting so the
king he tries to break through to the
king of edom
he thinks well i'm going to try to take
him out but they couldn't do it so
things are very very desperate
it looks like he's going to lose the
city he's going to lose everything
and
he thinks it's time for desperate
desperate measures
and i've had quite a few
people even other ministers
ask me pastor stephen can you share some
insight on verse 27
and i'm going to try to do that today
excuse me while i take a drink of water
i want us to talk about
verse 27
but i will not be able to explain this
to you
from a strictly intellectual perspective
alone we are going to have to get over
into the spiritual side of reality in
order to find out what's really going on
here are you ready for it here we go
then he that would be the king
of moab
he took his eldest son
who would have reigned in his place
and offered him as a burnt offering upon
the wall that means
that means everybody within that city
saw what he did
it means all of the armies of israel
judah and edom they all saw
what this man did where he literally
took his own son that was going to reign
as king eventually one day in his place
and he killed him
he sacrificed him to his god
before the armies
of the true and living god
let me read it again then he took his
eldest son who would have reigned in his
place and offered him as a burnt
offering upon the wall
and there was great indignation against
israel all i can imagine there was
because the king is
the king of moab is furious because he
he's extract he's had to extract
his most precious thing he has given up
his most precious thing to his god
because he's wanting deliverance and he
really does believe in his god
so they departed from him and returned
to their own land
this is amazing
if
israel
could have pushed and broken through and
they could have taken
the king misha here that's his name
misha of moab
then
they're going to get things back in
order but they don't
and because the king did this
he secured
the independence of moab
for 200 years
one act
secured independence
for 200 years
for his nation now are there
are they an evil nation yes absolutely
doing many wicked diabolical things
and let's take a look at that just for a
moment i want us to understand
what took place when the king did this
what is going on in the spirit realm
when this took place
and we can
turn to some archaeological
history
that will give us a little insight to
the anger the outrage that the king had
against israel and his loyalty to his
god
and how
we see in a situation like this it's
winner take all
you're either going to win the battle or
you're going to lose the battle
and the winner is going to you're going
to going to be okay you're going to have
your freedom but it's all out now let me
say this before i share some some
further insights about this
jesus
completely defeated
satan
at calvary when jesus said it is
finished
that meant that the atoning work of
redeeming lost mankind back to god had
been fully accomplished
so that
any person now who calls upon the name
of the lord can be saved and you can be
ransomed because jesus paid the ransom
price for your sins when he hung on the
cross and shed
his blood for us
praise god
and so jesus
took the keys of death and hell
and he ascended up in to heaven
on the uh after three days
he went into heaven
and all authority has been given to him
and according to the book of colossians
chapter 2 verse 15
jesus
stripped
all of the powers
of the kingdom of darkness and they have
no authority over him nor any believer
who is in christ
that's an amazing reality
so the devil has been defeated
but you have to understand
you'll have people say well pastor
stephen if jesus defeated the devil what
in the world is going on it seems like
the devil is just doing all kinds of
things
it looks like he's running full steam
ahead
he is in the world system
but as a child of god
he
he does not have authority over you he
has authority over everybody that's in
his kingdom everybody that's in the
kingdom of darkness
who doesn't know christ as their savior
but those that belong to jesus who know
their rights who know they're in
authority in christ the devil cannot
push them around
but i will say this
the devil
even
when
he knows that you have the authority
he's not going to want to leave he's not
going to want to give up something that
is a form of territory that he has held
for a long time and he'll put up a fight
and it doesn't mean that he's not
defeated it doesn't mean
that jesus didn't destroy him at calvary
because the lord did
and you always operate from that
position you operate from a position of
victory
and at the same time you have to realize
the devil's just not going to roll over
and play easy especially
when it's something that has great
significance
and there's a lot on the table as we
would say let's think about the poker
game and you've got world-class pokers
uh poker players playing and there's
millions of dollars on the table and
every all those guys and maybe some gals
they're they're gambling to see who's
going to win that money
and only one person is going to win it
and that one person is going to take
every single bit of it
[Music]
so the devil is not going to just say oh
well you know just go ahead and take
mine he will put up a fight
a battle and you're going to have to
use great faith to dislodge him
and get him out
praise god now let's jump back to our
story with misha the king of the
moabites
i want to share a little information
that
it's just beautiful how it
confirms the validity of scripture so
let's go back to the
1800s
and we have what is called the moabite
stone that was discovered
in jordan okay so
misha
was ruler over the small kingdom of moab
and that's east of the dead sea whenever
you go to the dead sea you literally see
the mountains of moab
that's also where ruth came from who
married boaz
and
he was a contemporary misha was a
contemporary of king jehoshaphat
jehoshaphat being from the southern
kingdom of judah and we know that
because it's all in second kings chapter
3 that story of the of the battle
between the kings and so forth so
everything that we know about misha from
the bible is recorded in second kings
chapter three
but
we actually know a lot more about him
from a record that he left us and it's
called the misha inscription or what is
known as the moabite stone and i'm going
to have an image of the moabite stone
popped up right now on the screen that
you can see and there it is right there
it was discovered in de bon jordan in
1868
by a french anglican medical missionary
by the name of f.a klein and mr klein
was a brilliant man
and uh he would he would you know go
throughout the land of israel
ministering to the sick because he had
very
he had the most advanced medical
training of his time
and he would go throughout
israel ministering to the sick but
because he became fluent in arabic he
would also cross the jordan and go over
into
that part of
of ancient israel which
uh at that time in the 1800s late 1800s
that was mainly wild bedouin country and
while this area was under the control of
the turks
the turks could protect you in certain
areas but they're like hey now if you
cross
this river and go over through this
transjordan area we can't give you any
protection there's nothing but a bunch
of bandits and cutthroats out here and
you're on your own where he could
actually go on his own mr klein could
and he had great respect amongst the
better one because he would actually go
and minister his medical skills to them
too and so they liked him and got to
know him and things like that well he
became aware
of this amazing stone
and
the inscription on it is quite
fascinating now both documents second
kings chapter three and the mesha
inscription describe the same event
the revolt of misha now remember misha
is revolting against
the
subjugation that they have been under
through the southern kingdom which would
be judah
and misha made his record of this event
on a stone slab or a stone this is
called a stella and it's three feet high
and two feet wide
unfortunately the stone was broken into
pieces by the local bedouin before it
could be acquired by
uh the
uh archaeological authorities about
two-thirds of the pieces were recovered
and those along with an impression made
before the stella was actually
eventually just destroyed
um
but the archaeologists were able to
determine what the last lines were
although some of that was broken off and
destroyed
and the interesting thing about the
moabite language and by the way this
this whole
inscription is in the ancient moabite
language is that it's almost identical
to
hebrew
wow praise the lord
very very fascinating well pastor
stephen what in the world is uh what's
on that stone what does it say
well it basically gives you a
description
of this battle that took place and it's
in the first person narrative of king
misha telling his side of the story
and
it's kind of a long inscription but he
talks about how
he dedicated
this victory right here
of winning against these three armies he
dedicates the victory to his god kimash
and after this is over he actually
builds an altar to kimash
and just you know the whole inscription
is pretty much a
glorification of kimash and the god that
the king of moab worshipped
now these things of course you can find
um on the internet they're fun to read
by the way that
that um
that stone is in the louvre museum in
paris france and when kelly and i were
walking around the museum
i uh i don't know i i got so busy
looking at all these other
ancient uh artifacts and you know
looking at the mona lisa and all this
other stuff i forgot that that was there
and i should have i should have gone and
looked at it because i would love to see
it in person up close i trust that it's
still there they say it is
maybe by god's grace i'll catch it next
time
but my friends uh this battle was very
intense and this man
this king of moab
if i could just be blunt the spanish he
is he is basically a satan worshiper
when these people worship kimash
these people are worshiping worshiping
the most disgusting vile
demonic
pagan type
uh
you know things that they could worship
and do it's just disgusting that the way
that they were living their lives that's
why the lord told the israelites you're
going to have to destroy all of these
nations that are surrounding you because
they're completely given over to the
devil they do horrible things they they
burn their children in fire they do all
forms of perversion and things like that
things that are so disgusting i can't
even i can't even say it
because it's horrific but it's very very
bad stuff and the lord said there is no
remedy you're gonna have to just take
them all out
and so um we see a little bit of a
of an insight into the great wickedness
of what some of these nations could do
and this man
burning his own son
as a sacrifice
it's a satanic ritual
it is is the it's the satanic offering
and i know in some countries
particularly the african countries uh
the west african countries that are
steeped in occultism and witchcraft this
is like
uh you know this is stuff going back
thousands of years
they have deep knowledge of
and
theologians read this and they're
puzzled
because this man makes this sacrifice
and then the
the good armies just turn around walk
off and they're like what happened well
i'll tell you exactly what happened
but first let me share a few examples
i remember
one time this was about 30 years ago
when i was you know in my
i was in my 20s
and i was living with some other
christian guys we're all spirit filled
we all went to the same church together
and we thought well hey you know we
could we could save money we on rent if
we all just get a place and we live
there so um we had a kind of a larger
size house there's a bunch of us guys
uh all working full-time and going to
church loving the lord and really in in
some sense having revival and we were by
the lord's goodness winning a lot of
people to faith in christ and we were
ministering in really really rough areas
well
one day me and this uh big guy he was
the guy that actually uh
uh had purchased the home and we were
all living there
uh
and uh but he was a real big fella uh
you know like six foot uh maybe six foot
seven but huge real big strong he and i
one day went into a real
bad area of of the town of the city
where there was a lot of prostitution a
lot of pimps and drug dealers and stuff
like that and we we started talking to
um one young man out on the street and
he was a he was a sex slave and uh he
was used by all the pimps uh for
you know
forms of uh
you know uh well all kinds of sick
perverted stuff
we were able to minister to him and he
accepted christ into his heart and he
said
he said i can't go back
to where i've been i i you know i have
to where i'm at i have to do whatever
they tell me to do and they'll you know
they're making money off of me and and
we said well
come stay with us for a little bit until
we figure out what your next
you know step in life should be
so you know he came and stayed with us
for a little bit and we got him water
baptized and he was going to church all
the time and we're teaching in the bible
and uh but he's coming out of real wild
gross darkness
and um
the people that he used to work for
they're all demon-possessed and when i
say that they're demon-possessed they're
fully demonized
and they
they found out
that
he was living with us although we're
trying to keep it low profile they found
out that he was living with us
and remember we're we're a house full of
you know guys and uh you know big guys
and there's a lot of strong guys and so
we're all kind of like we can all cover
each other's back and we're not really
afraid of anything so um
but they found out uh the bad guys did
the underground type guys did where uh
he was at and they began to circle the
neighborhood and then they would pull up
in front of the house they would stop
in a car and they would just sit there
and look and you they they're just
saying we know he's there and we want
him back he's he's belongs to us he he
works for us and he's a money maker for
us
and so one day
after this was going on for you know
days i decided to go out and talk to him
and so i just walked out
uh and i wasn't really prayed up because
remember this was we're going back
decades ago i just walked out i thought
i'm gonna tell these guys just get out
of here so i walked up and i said i said
hey fellas i said he's not coming back
he has given his heart to jesus and he's
not coming back and when i said that the
the guys in the car looked at me
and a
force of evil came from them and went
over me like a wave of wickedness
such a powerful wave i would call it a
shock wave of evil they didn't say
anything they they were just operating
in occult power and they drove off real
slow
and i realized
this is nothing physical this is this is
all spiritual these are people that are
working for the devil and uh
and this is a spiritual battle
and so eventually
without uh too much longer we moved him
on to another place and as far as i know
he was able to make a clean break and
get out of that and restart his life by
living for the lord but if you've ever
felt that before these waves of evil
that you know that's straight from satan
then you know what i'm talking about and
what i'm trying to say to that small
example and i've had many other examples
of encountering that
that that evil i remember one time
uh
my my brothers and i we had
we were doing a lot of exploring in the
summertime
and there were these islands
that were off
they were off the coast they were
outside of the ship channel
and this is when we lived in south texas
and my brothers and i we would sometimes
swim out to these islands but there were
some that were further out and they were
too far to swim to
uh like a mile or two miles some three
miles out and we thought we'd sure like
to get out there and see what's on those
islands
and
one time we were able to get a hold of a
boat
and my older brother got the boat we
were in high school this summer time and
my parents were working all day long so
they thought we were just kind of home
you know being good good boys they
didn't know i told my mom this later in
life she was like oh i would have
fainted if i would have known what you
guys were doing well my brother somehow
got a boat uh don't ask me where he got
it from he said i'll take it back when
we're done i don't know where he got the
boat from so we got the boat and we went
out to one of those remote islands
and we kind of started walking around on
the islands pretty big and there's a lot
of uh mesquite trees that are grown up
and stuff like that well this was we got
out on the island and this was uh during
the daytime one o'clock in the afternoon
full sun in other words this is not like
three o'clock in the morning it's some
creepy hour of you know a dark clouds or
anything like that this is sunshine uh
no clouds in the sky we're on that
island we're the only ones on that
island and there's an old house haunted
house on that island
and you know we're just young we didn't
really not really thinking anything
we're we're you know i'm not
spirit-filled my brothers aren't
spirit-filled we're christians
but uh we went into that house and you
know it's all creepy you know and uh
everything kind of dilapidated it's the
only house on that island
and we went we went into the house and
the moment we walked through that house
we walked right into this large
living room area and there was a satanic
pentagram painted in red on the floor
and there were candles that had been
burnt and there had just been
uh
an occultic meeting that had taken place
most likely the night before and that
place was
saturated with with evil the moment we
walked in we all three of us
uh and you know we're not spirit-filled
tongue-talking believers but all three
of us looked at each other and said this
is a bad place and we got out of there
got off that island and never went back
again so that was a place where those in
witchcraft and satanism would would go
low profile beneath the radar to do the
evil things that they do but if you've
ever felt that shock wave of evil you
know exactly what i'm talking about let
me give you one more example
one time i was preaching in
in chennai south india and
i i had been there already for quite
some time doing meetings i had already
done some other meetings and then i went
to record uh television programs and i'm
recording you know like eight or ten
programs a day and i'm doing this every
day day after day day after day and when
this was all completed i had one big
meeting left to do
which was at a very powerful church a
large church there in chennai and so if
i can be
honest i went into that meeting a little
bit depleted i had already i had already
poured out so much i'd done over 30
messages i'd done some other meetings i
was absolutely exhausted now i did go
into that meeting really prayed up i'd
prayed pretty much all day long but i
was physically tired and i could sense
there was
there was most likely some type of
attack that was going to come now the
last time before that i had been in
india same church we had explosive
miracles take place
and it's like it caught the devil off
guard and it just a tremendous move of
god but this time it's like the devil
knew
you know that i was coming and i'm
expecting god to move again
my friends i tell you this with the
honest truth that night when i walked up
into the pulpit the minister to all of
those people
i walked up i opened up my bible and the
moment i started to preach
satan came and stood right next to me in
that uh service on the platform now
nobody saw him but i i knew he was
standing right there and he said to me
you're not going to do good tonight
you're wearing my favorite color and i
that night i was wearing a black safari
nothing wrong with the color black the
you know don't get superstitious and
think you can't wear black or anything
like that
but he said you're not going to do good
tonight you're wearing my color tonight
and uh he that he was
throwing harassing things at me and that
you you talking about like preaching
against like a bronze wall i was
preaching and there was an anointing but
it's just like the enemy was fighting
that with every single thing he had and
finally
after about an hour of just pouring
every ounce of energy and strength i had
into that service because there's a
battle going on spiritually that's
invisible that people can't see
finally there was a breakthrough and the
holy spirit began to move and the devil
obviously had to leave because he lost
again
and i ended up praying for every single
person there's thousands of people i put
my hand on every single person and when
it was over
i was
now deplete it more than i'd ever been
depleted ever in my ministry of like
pouring out and when i was done i was
exhausted there wasn't one ounce of
anything left in the tank as far as
anointing the minister and the pastor
jumped up he was so excited he said this
is so powerful what god is doing tonight
he said i want everybody to line back up
again and brother stephen's going to
pray for you again i mean he was just
like he was like a kid in the candy
store and i couldn't believe it when he
said that i just took i just took a few
steps
walked over to a friend and because i
had the microphone i gave it to a
friend of mine who lives there in the
city a very powerful minister who
happened to be there that night i said
here take it i said i'm done
and he went to work praise god remember
you never know when the mic's going to
get past to you well i'm just showing up
just to enjoy you never know how much of
enjoyment it's going to be you might
actually end up being there up there
doing the thing praise god
but uh my goodness the devil he can come
and it's like a wave of evil and i've
encountered him literally one on one
before and i've had other situations
where you know who his agents are you
don't have to ask them you just know
it's what it's coming off of them now
the glory is coming off of you the
anointing is coming off of you
sometimes the enemy can make a strong
push
to
take a hold of what he wants to take a
hold of and not be dislodged from it
and that's what happened here and the
shock
the shock wave of evil that was released
through the shedding of blood and that's
why in witchcraft often and these uh
satanic rituals so often there is a
shedding of blood they're they're
wanting evil power they're wanting to
shed innocent blood so that
the devil will give them uh
powers they can use in the earth
and it says they
the israelites they departed from him
and returned to their own land i'll tell
you what happened they got hit with that
shock wave of evil that came from that
occultic sacrifice
and um
it was it was a fierce battle well
pastor stephen what should they have
done well they should have stood their
ground and they should have said now
we're going to have to get the word of
the lord to find out
what to do here because
this king has thrown down the gauntlet
and if we don't do something to counter
that he's going to win
whoo
see
there are some things that the devil
knows are very very important and he'll
he'll fight you so hard over it why
because
there's a lot baked into it
you know
i find it amazing what the devil
has done to the millennials the young
people of this generation it's like he's
just been stealing them left and right
i read just the other day that a very
famous minister in america that works
tirelessly tirelessly day and night to
minister the gospel he has five children
they're grown up they're millennials all
five of them have now rejected christ
and now are basically
full-blown atheist
socialist
they have been completely stolen by the
devil and don't think he's going to try
to
give that up easily there'd have to be a
battle to get them back
i talked
recently to one of the most well-known
ministers in america
and i said hey uh how's your
granddaughter doing because his
granddaughters had always been very very
special to him and still is
and this great man of god said oh
stephen
he said there came a time for my
granddaughter to finish high school and
go off to college and i volunteered to
pay
for four years of the finest education
that she could receive from the best
university in america and i paid for it
and she went off for four years and she
came back
a flaming
god-hating liberal she's on fire with
hatred for god
wow
i mean this is a great man of god and
he's like he's like i paid for her
indoctrination of evil
and he's like the devil look what the
devil has done so the devil has he's
thrown down and he's got these kids he's
got them he's got them
well now pastor stephen god loves them
and they'll come back to the lord well
you there'd better be an equal throw
down in other words there's going to
have to be something
that will jolt that shock wave of evil
and push it back and blast through it
with the mighty glory of god
well yes pastor steven the glory is
coming yes but you're going to have to
move with this
you're going to have to move this with
the these battles
are extremely powerful because we are
dealing i'm just going to be honest
we are dealing with a society in america
that has gone completely into paganism
you're either a christian who is on fire
for god completely committed to god or
you're you're basically a pagan where
anything goes
anything goes we have a lot of pagans
wearing suit and ties the standing
government that that that may look all
polished and nice they're 100
pagans they love killing babies they
love to murder innocent children that
are the unborn they will embrace any
sexual ideology that doesn't matter to
them you can you can marry a piece of
box and they'll willing to officiate the
ceremony they have no moral code or
conduct they'll lie they'll cheat
they'll swindle they'll steal they'll do
all they don't care long as they don't
get caught but anything goes as long as
they stay in power and they can do their
stuff they're complete pagans
well pastor stevens some of them go to
church yeah they're pagans that go to
church doesn't mean anything to them
doesn't mean anything to them there's no
spiritual life there at all
wow
so this is what we're dealing with so in
order to push back against that it has
to be spiritual power that's stronger
yes pastor stephen jesus has conquered
the devil yes he has 100
but you're going to have to enforce that
you're going to have to bring the heat
praise the lord or there will be some
treasures the devil he's going to lock
him up and he he he's like these are my
trophies these children
watch this especially preachers kids
these children i've got
i've i have deceived them i've got them
locked up and
little bitty prayers aren't going to
break them loose
[Applause]
wow this is strong deception that we're
dealing against we are dealing against
misha the king of moab who is thrown
down who has shed blood who has worked
occultic satanic ritual power and you
have to come in there with something
that will blast that filth out of there
praise god well pastor stephen what were
they supposed to have done
i don't know but the first thing i would
have done is i just said get elisha over
here immediately we have got to get the
man of god in here we got a serious
situation on hand that king is not that
king of moab is not getting away with
this he just killed his own son he just
sealed his doom he's not going to defeat
us yeah we felt the shock wave of evil
all of us did we're not giving up we're
standing our ground and we're going to
plow through this get the prophet on
here let's and we're going to have to
find out what god wants from us
see god
hated
this
this wickedness that these other nations
were doing
praise god and there was a solution i
don't know what it would have been but
if they would have gotten the prophet
there and they would have gotten
him to bring forth the word of the lord
there would have been a solution this
like there was later in second kings
chapter 13
when there's another national threat
coming against israel
second kings 13 verse 14.
let me grab a drink of water
verse 14
elisha had become sick
with the illness of which he would die
then joash the king of israel came down
to him and wept over his face and said o
my father my father the chariots of
israel and their horsemen
and elisha said to him
take a bow and some arrows
now remember these are not just like
we're not just doing drama stuff so that
you know we can get a instagram picture
of the king you know hit some arrows on
the ground though this you're getting
into real spiritual stuff here you're
getting into the power zone here there's
there's evil power but there's the power
of god which is far greater but you have
to get into the spirit
and you have to walk in that power and
demonstrate it
take a bow and some arrows
so he took himself a bow and some arrows
then he said to the king of israel put
your hand on the bow so he put his hand
on it and elisha put his hands on the
king's hands and he said open the east
window and he opened it then elisha said
shoot
and he shot
and he said the arrow of the lord's
deliverance and the arrow of deliverance
from syria
you must strike the syrians at aphid
till you have destroyed them
then he said take the arrows
so he took them and he said to the king
of israel strike the ground
so he struck three times and stopped
my friends
why would you settle for partial victory
well now we we've had some good times
and uh we did have moab and subjugation
for a long time i guess you know they
put up a good battle we'll just let them
go and take it why don't why are we
tolerating this when you don't have to
when something is your legal biblical
right
and that is your inheritance and you can
take it why would you just sit back and
just let the enemy take what rightfully
belongs to you
hallelujah or souls
that god says that's your assignment
that's your assignment why just let them
go off
well well i guess they'll come back to
the lord what if they don't what if we
don't step in there as intercessors and
stand in the gap and do something about
it
praise god well that's what we're going
to do
take the arrow so he took them and he
said to the and he said to the king of
israel strike the ground so he struck
three times and stopped and the man of
god was angry with him
and said you should have struck five or
six times then you would have struck
syria until you had destroyed it but now
you will strike syria only three times
partial victory syria is coming back
well at least not they're not coming
back in my lifetime
well that's kind of selfish isn't it
this is not just about us we're saved
we're on our way to heaven and we're
good to go but we're going to bring as
many as we can especially
those that are within our
target range praise god
thank you lord jesus
we have to get get in the spirit get
into the prophetic act praise god you
know sometimes the holy spirit will come
upon you and he wants you to shout
well now what no girl what pastor
stephen what in the world good would
that do it's it's not about doing
something in the natural it's doing
something in the spiritual
there's times the holy spirit wants you
to blow a shofar
now how how pastor stephen is blowing on
a ram's horn going to do anything it's a
spiritual prophetic thing it's doing
something in the spirit it's breaking
something in the spirit
these are spiritual battles
these are spiritual battles
i've had times where the holy spirit is
is on me
and it uh it's frightful it's frightful
to the enemy and even those that are not
saved who don't know anything about it
who are somehow just caught in the
middle they come by me and they know
there's something on me they'll back up
or they'll look they'll look at me with
like a look like what is that well first
of all it's the glory second of all is
my angel going with me and we're here
we're here to do business
there were quite a few times that after
catherine coolman was finished
ministering at a large conference
they would they would often take her out
the back you can't take her out the
front because everybody's gonna uh you
know try to you know talk to her and
stuff like that so they would take her
out the back and get her back to the
hotel and oftentimes the only the only
way out was through the kitchen area
like a commercial kitchen
and so oftentimes they would have to
take her right after the meetings out
and they would go through a commercial
kitchen and then get her outside get her
to the hotel and so often when they're
taking her right out of that meeting
right to the kitchen the moment she'd
walk into the kitchen every single
person in there would fall out under the
power of the holy spirit
oh those must have all been a bunch of
pentecostal cooks no none of them were
they're all unbelievers and they're none
of them know god and they're not falling
out so they can be seen on you know i
have their picture taken no no no they
don't even know she's there she just
walks in and boom that glory fills that
whole place
and they fall out that's happened quite
a few times
for her praise the lord
i had a problem in one city i used to
live uh there was a big mall
uh in the mall the you know
they're trying to figure out how to
solve this problem every now and then
there would be this lady she lived out
in the country she's a country woman but
she was a woman of prayer and sometimes
she would do these 40-day fast
and after she would come off the fast
the holy spirit would instruct her go
walk through the mall
and pray and when she would walk through
the mall everybody would just start
falling out
centers all over just falling out and
the the and the the mall security and
the you know people that worked at the
mall were like you know we need to keep
the lady out of the mall but she would
show up
in the spirit and just start walking and
people start falling out all over the
place she's in the power she's in the
anointing let me try let me tell you if
you're bound and you have addictions or
you're under total lock down by satan
because of that shock wave of evil that
captured you and paralyzed you and then
he enslaved you
you come across that anointing boom
chains start breaking
and you go free you go free praise the
lord whoa praise god um
these things are very very uh important
to understand in kingdom dynamics things
that you cannot see with your natural
eye but it's going on in the spirit
realm the push the push praise god
hallelujah i have a pastor friend
in berlin germany
that when
germany was divided uh east germany west
germany and you had communism
and all of the horrors that it brought
in eastern germany then you had the wall
the berlin wall then on the other side
you had what you would call more like a
free state
this pastor said
he said uh he said pastor stephen he
said me and all the other pastors that
had networked together we all knew not
only that the wall was going to come
down we actually knew the day it was
going to fall i said how did you know he
said we all did a 40-day fast together
no food nothing but water for 40 days we
all joined together all of us pastors
and we fasted and prayed for that stupid
wall to come down and for communism to
collapse and the holy spirit told us at
the end of the fast that the wall will
come down and this is the day it will
come down on
woo glory to god
and i've got a piece of the wall or
right back over in my office i have a
piece of the the berlin wall which is no
longer there praise the lord
thank you jesus that's all spiritual
that's these wicked
powers
of godless atheism
that affects those
in that
communistic regime to just
do this
foolish stuff that does nothing but
destroy human lives
and that wicked
wave of power got blasted with a greater
force praise the lord
and snapped
whoa praise god amen so we're touching
the mighty anointing of the holy spirit
and god's power operating and working in
our lives very quickly let's go over to
the gospel of matthew chapter 11
verse 12 and from the days of john the
baptist
until now the kingdom of heaven suffers
violence and the violent take it how by
force what is the force it is the force
of faith
yes pastor stephen we must have faith
yes but to generate that mighty faith
that that just blast in there and
overpowers the strong man where you bind
the strong man and you plunder his goods
that takes a commitment
to
to
out sacrifice the devil what the devil
has done
whoo praise the lord it's not about
works
this is not about trying to outwork the
devil but when you have satanists
that are
worshiping their god when you have misha
who is worshiping kimash who's telling
his god kimash when he's telling satan
i'm willing to sacrifice my own son and
to kill him if you'll get me out of this
and keep my kingdom intact
then i'm willing to do this for you and
so he did it
and there was release of repulsive evil
power
that
just hit
the armies of israel
and the men were like well
you know what this is just knocked the
wind out of us in a you know so we're
calling this off and we're hidden back
so there has to be something that will
counteract that
through prayer perhaps also through
fasting and also through sacrificial
giving only as the holy spirit would
lead you though
praise the lord
glory to god
sometimes you find out you've got to
just throw it all yeah it's like um
it's like israel when they were having
you know the uh all the problems with
all the
uh the rockets coming in to israel from
uh hamas and coming in from the gaza
area and uh you know they got to a point
where the prime minister said look we're
taking the gloves off now you want to
just fight out and just get get real
dirty fight okay that's what we're going
to do so that's what it's come to and
that sometimes you find that in the
spirit realm where you're really
endeavoring to see god break through in
a certain area perhaps save
those that would be classified as
unsavable but god can get them but there
there is a price of prayer of pressing
through praise god i think that's
something that dr cho
understood well
in the
church in seoul south korea and bless us
bless his heart he's in heaven now glory
to god he just passed away a few days
ago
and the lord used him
to raise up the biggest church
in in the world this church had one one
time had over 800 000 members really had
over a million members because he gave
so many other church members away to
other churches because they were trying
to
facilitate all the growth but a great
man of god
but he said he said the western church
particularly the american church does
not understand
that if you want to reach those that are
enslaved by the devil you're going to
have to first bind the strong man
and if you bind him then you can go in
and plunder his goods but he said from
what i see the western church does not
know how to bind and release
because these are spiritual principles
praise god but my friends we are
beginning to operate in these things and
i believe also
we can see some things happen with our
nation where there's even a turning in
our nation let me share one more
scripture with you this is uh ii
chronicles
chapter seven
second chronicles
seven
and of course verse 14
is a classic verse that we quote
in times of revival and stuff like that
when we're praying for revival but i
want to show you something
that i i hope will give a little more
insight into releasing that power
second chronicles chapter 7 let's look
at verse
12. then the lord appeared to solomon by
night
and said to him now what the lord is
going to do is he's going to give
instructions
to solomon whenever there's trouble okay
god will always give you the instruction
whenever there's trouble god has nothing
planned for you but victory victory
victory that you and your whole
household might be saved it's not god's
will for you or any of your family
members or loved ones to perish and go
to hell god wants all of you to make
heaven praise the lord and he doesn't
want you to have any type of defeat in
any area of your life he will always
give an instruction
then the lord appeared to solomon by
night and said to him i have heard your
prayer and have chosen this place for
myself as a house of sacrifice
when i shut up heaven and there is no
rain
or command the locust to devour the land
or send pestilence among my people in
other words when satan has access
when he's getting in and something's not
right
because he's winning
verse 14
if my people
who are called by my name will humble
themselves and pray
and seek my face and turn from their
wicked ways then
i will hear from heaven and will forgive
their sin and heal their land
now the lord will hear
and he will
forgive and he will heal he will deliver
but i think there's something very
interesting here that that is very easy
to skip over look at verse 14 again if
my people who are called by my name will
humble themselves and pray
and seek my face
i think in america we have put the focus
on pray and seek god's face
but we have missed that statement where
the lord
said that we need to humble ourselves
if my people who are called by my name
will humble myself well we don't need to
do that pastor stephen we just need to
pray
no we need to humble ourselves
we need to humble ourselves that's very
very critical
in order for the lord to answer the
prayer
whoa praise god there are some prayers
that god will answer so quick
it can shock you how fast you'll answer
them and sometimes you're left wondering
i wonder why god answered that prayer so
fast and other prayers he hasn't
answered and years have gone by
a lot of it has to do
when it's prayed out of a position of
great humility
and yes we need to pray
and we need to intercede but we need to
do all of it from a position of humbling
ourselves where we go before the lord
and we humble ourselves that's that's
something that's about in that about
intercessor intercession that's
fascinating because when you really
intercede for somebody you're actually
standing in the gap for them
and the punishment that they deserve you
step in their place and you plead to god
on behalf of them
and you humble yourself
almost in a sense like you're taking
their mistakes and mess-ups on yourself
and
sometimes
you can actually feel it
you can even feel like you're not right
with god you can feel like you're lost
you can feel like the glory is gone and
that's because the holy spirit is
allowing you to have a measure of
identification with what that person is
going through that you are praying for
well that pastor stephen we don't need
to be so zealous certainly god will work
it all out oh god worked it all out at
calvary and he has given his authority
to us but we have to delegate it and we
have to use the force of faith
or else the devil will keep some of his
most prized trophies locked up just like
misha did he's not willing to quit the
devil sometimes can be a real fighter
and so you're gonna have to push and
you're gonna have to make a sacrifice
and push and pray and intercede and walk
in the instruction that god gives you
and if you do that you could even
overthrow misha even though he maybe has
just made a sacrifice of his own son you
can still overcome that through the
wisdom and the power of god when you
walk out that instruction of what it is
that god would have you do
and i would say also it comes along this
line of humble yourself because in times
like that you don't know what to do you
see what the enemy has done and the
fortress looks so strong and you have to
humble yourself and say god
there's no way we can get that person
free they're under such deception
they've been brainwashed lord god this
is going to take your power we humble
ourselves you're our only hope
now you're on the right path
now you're on the right path praise god
god's going to do some great things in
your life i believe before the year is
out
that as you really go before the lord
you're going to see the turnaround
you're going to see the victory you're
going you're going to receive the
instruction of what it is that you're to
do to overthrow the moabites and get rid
of murderous misha get that whole system
out of here
where the captives go free
praise the lord let's lift our hands
heavenly father we thank you
that
there are those that are watching
they have not understood these things
they've mocked the prophet's instruction
to shoot an arrow or to grab arrows and
strike the ground they thought all
that's silly and they have not
understood
the prophetic significance of the
spiritual reality
that's all around us
so father
we just thank you we refuse to limit
this battle to what we know
through natural perception
by what we also see or hear but father
we endeavor to wage war in the spirit
knowing that christ has already won the
battle but we must enforce the devil's
defeat thank you father let there be
release of the battle plan
this year is going to end on great
heights because we refuse
to accept a partial victory or we we
refuse especially to accept defeat
thank you father god we give you praise
we give you glory father before this
year is out let there be a transfer
from the trophy case of satan
of great assets of souls over into your
trophy case
we give you all of the praise thank you
father in jesus great name
amen
amen
you know when i went into the spirit
realm
and i had that experience with the lord
regarding mantles that was in the second
heaven
and i was taken there by the holy spirit
in the spirit realm and i saw demons i
saw evil spirits and they were they were
mean they were big bad ugly and they had
some nasty looking weapons
but i also saw the power of god and
through the wisdom of god i was able to
go into that enemy camp and take
what rightfully belonged to me but i'm
telling you that was an enemy camp
and that is a very dangerous realm
and you can only go into it in the
spirit and
these forces of evil are real
but the force of god is far greater we
must access
the power of god we must get into the
spirit and win great victories
praise the lord
praise the lord i see the blood of jesus
covering you
i see that you are
equipped for battle and you must go as a
soldier of christ hallelujah glory to
god
you must wage the good warfare stay in
faith and pray
and walk in the instructions of the holy
spirit
praise the lord glory
glory glory this whole week i've been
just grieved in my spirit i have heard
so many reports of ministers children
raised in the house of god
raised in the ways of god and
leave home and go off and just within a
few years either through maybe a
university or maybe just through all the
stuff that's out there
they are completely
uh
completely uh just captured by the enemy
we cannot let these things rest and
remain like this praise god
and i know there's other forms of
captivity as well
but you can
oh i know another prophetess who was
taken in the spirit one time and
i talked with her actually about this
this incredible encounter she had with
the lord where she was taken literally
to a trophy room
uh in the kingdom of darkness in the in
the second heaven she was she was taken
there there was a palace it was made out
of look like black
granite and there were dragons uh
evil spirits everywhere and she was
taken by the lord and she was allowed to
retrieve
a sacred item of the lord's that had
been captured by the enemy and stolen
from the church and she was able to go
in there by the power of the spirit and
take it and get out safely and restore
it back to the body of christ
praise god
praise god it's time to
go into the enemy's camp and take what
rightfully belongs to us
and to liberate those that are in
bondage praise god father we thank you
we thank you let revelation flow let
instructions come we give you all the
praise
in jesus great name
amen
amen
whoa praise the lord it's going to be
like spiritual glory bombs going off and
there will be repercussions where those
sitting in drug houses or places of
prostitution or sex trafficking they're
going to get hit with that glory
thing that'll that that shock wave of
glory and it'll go right over them it'll
just blow the smoke off their head i'm
talking about the spiritual smoke of
deception and lies and they're like i've
been living in absolute filth and i'm
getting out of here and they'll walk up
completely free and the holy spirit will
show them exactly what they're supposed
to do they'll get saved get right with
god they'll never go back to the evil
again

years back this was
this was maybe 2003.
i was in las vegas in a kim clement
meeting and i had a pastor friend
and uh
let me see this this actually event took
place a little bit before that a few
years before that and so the the pastor
friend of mine
he and some of his church members they
had all done a 40-day fast no food
nothing but water for 40 days the pastor
said just sitting in the meeting sitting
on the chair he said i had nothing on my
rear end just my bones he said i could
feel every bone touching the chair he
lost so much weight and he was a big big
huge strong man
and
he said
he said that before they had come to the
meeting the lord was really dealing with
their son their teenage son and the son
was stomping and he was like stomping in
the spirit and said dad the holy spirit
just wanted me to stomp and make these
prophetic declarations
well when they went into the meeting
with kim clement and you know thousands
of people in the meeting
the son stood before kim clement the
prophet and kim clement says the lord
says that you have been doing the
prophetic stomp now i want you to stomp
your feet again right now in the spirit
there's going to be deliverance worked
in your life and he was stomping and uh
i'm just telling you my friends whether
it's striking arrows to the ground or
shooting a bowl or stomping your feet or
a shout
and the devil hates when you shout in
faith because there's there's power
released in that
and sometimes with a punch boom like
that in the spirit oh pastor stephen
you're just doing that in the flesh
where yeah you're you're in your body in
the flesh but it's it's making an impact
in the spirit when you're in the
anointing
glory to god and if one can put a
thousand to flight two can put ten
thousand the flight you get but you get
others together and you're in the spirit
and there's that shout or the stomp oh
chains start coming off of people
praise god the chains fall off
praise the lord this is very very
exciting
praise the lord
let's take the blood of christ father we
thank you for the blood of jesus it's
mighty cleansing power

other countries some to other states or
some to places but
uh even maybe close by but they'll they
will be able to minister in the spirit
to those that are enslaved by dark
chains and they will deliver them in the
name of the lord and then they will be
taken back by the spirit

spirit on these heavenly assignments we
thank you for the blood of jesus and his
