 Today we are starting a first installment of Break Free series where we're going to focus on talking about freedom, talk about renewing of the mind, and talking about walking with God in the fullness as He intended us to do so. We are going to take a book of Esther as for the next few services as a way of learning about freedom from book of Esther. And due to inability to read the whole book in front of us, I'm going to just kind of summarize the story of Esther that most of you probably are familiar with. The story of Esther goes like this, there was one queen named Vashti, she didn't show up to a request by her king, by her husband, and she got dethroned, she lost her crown, and king was so popular and rich that he could afford to throw a beauty pageant just to find a wife. And that's not a best way to find a wife, but he could afford it, this was Old Testament, I guess it went well for him. He found this girl, Jewish girl, her name was Hadessa, and they changed her name to Esther. She lost her parents, both of her parents, to war. She got adopted by her uncle named Mardukai, who also was in the political world, he was serving with this king who was his like a captor. And Hadessa, whose name we know as Esther, she becomes the wife of this king, and there was an enemy there in the palace, his name was Haman. Haman was a hater, he did not like Jewish people, he attacked Jewish people, and so he wanted to wipe them out. So this whole thing of killing Jews and attacking Jews didn't start with Hitler, it started way, way, way before that. There was always an attack on the Jewish people because of God's plan that God has for Jewish people. And so what happened is that Haman devises a plan and a plot to wipe them out, and Esther steps in and intercedes, and she gets the job done. Haman gets hanged, the plot gets reversed, and Mardukai gets promoted, and Esther is now known, not just as a beautiful girl, but also as a savior of her nation. So we just learned six chapters of Esther in just a minute or two. The interesting part is Esther is the only book in the Bible that doesn't have word God in it. It has its fingerprints all over, just not as mentioned. And so today we're going to talk about spiritual freedom. And the message that will be titled is access denied, or I like to call it access revoked, where the access the enemy have had to our life is revoked. I want you to notice this. Esther was facing an enemy in the palace that was not actually her own enemy, it was the enemy of her great ancestors. Haman is a descendant of Amalekites, and Esther is a direct descendant of the house of Kish, who was the father of King Saul. When King Saul went to battle against Amalekites, he did not defeat them, he spared them, he spared the enemy. And instead of the enemy just evaporating through time, the enemy resurfaced later on the descendants of Saul. Esther had to face the enemy that was her great-great-great-great-grandfather did not overcome. Many battles we face today did not start with us. They got passed on to us, but we have to face them. One time a girl went to her mother and said, Mom, where did we come from? The mother says, we all came from God. She said, well, praise God. She went to her father, she says, where did we come from? The father says, you came from a monkey. She said, well, that sucks. She goes back to her mom, she says, Mom, I'm confused. That says we came from monkeys, you said we came from God. The mom says, well, it's very simple. I told you where my family came from. He told you where his family came from. I believe I know why some people believe they came from monkeys, because they came from the family where stuff was just weird. We all have crazy families, right? And if your family is in church, don't say amen. No, he's talking about their family. Our family tree, even if you come from a Christian family, we all have things in our families that are not necessarily Christ-like and they need changing. And we have to understand that this success, if you come from a family where your father was an alcoholic, your chances of being alcoholic or being prone to alcoholism is 10 times more than someone who grew up without an alcoholic father. The same thing applies to divorce. A lot of times, the same thing applies to diabetes and even cancer, where they say it runs in the family, anger, divorce, and other things. They even did a study where they see that there are genes that are passed on. We know the color of your hair, the color of your skin, the color of your eyes, and other things that you cannot stop. They get passed on to you. But there are things that are passed on to you that can be deactivated. And these genes, they lay dormant in you until activated by certain experiences, by certain mentorships, or certain places that you go to. And then, because people can, it does not necessarily mean that because you grew up an alcoholic home that you're going to be an alcoholic. It's because you grew up in a great home that you're going to live great life. We still have choices that we can make. And today I want to address this issue because many of our battles have not started with us. It started with someone else. Our goal today is not to blame King Saul of why he did not remove Amalekites. Our goal is to understand that the battle we're facing did not start today. It's been going on for some time. The greatest blessing you can give to your children is not your house or your car. It's a spiritual inheritance. It's a spiritual blessing that you pass on to them. A lot of parents are too worried, make sure they pass on an inheritance. But the greatest inheritance your kids will benefit from is a good character, good reputation, spiritual habits, and a life free from bondages of Satan and sin and the devils. Because somebody say amen. When me and my wife purchased a duplex in Richland, an older duplex, within about a first year of our marriage, the person who sold us the duplex was a lawyer. He rented out this duplex to tenants and the yard was not up kept. The yard was not well kept. There was a lot of weeds. There were so many weeds. First time I was afraid to mow it because it was so high. I wasn't sure what's going to be there. In those weeds. So when I mowed that yard, the next week the weeds did not disappear. The weeds were still there. I had a chance. I could be angry at the owner, the lawyer, and say, man, he did not keep that yard and it sucks. It's not fair that I have to deal with all of this now. But I knew that though I got passed this lawn, got passed on to me. I have to now put a little bit more work. I have to fertilize it, remove the weeds and with time the weeds got pulled out. We put the irrigation system, planted trees and that yard looked so beautiful. And when I sold the real estate property to someone else, I still drive it once in a while in Richland over there. I see that lawn is green. That lawn is so different. Maybe that is your situation. Maybe something got passed on to you that's chronic diseases. Constant divorce and breaking of the family unit. Maybe what's been passed on to you is depression, phobias and fears. Maybe what runs in your family is constant lack or poverty. Or maybe what runs in your family is accident prone. Means everyone always gets weird accidents. Or perhaps it's premature death. Or perhaps it's a terminal illness that just hits every family member and nobody ever stood against it, resisted it and brought that down. Instead, they just kept passing it on, passing it on and maybe it got so big that honestly you're already expecting. Everyone dies at 50, at 50 that's when you're going to die. I want to tell you something today. You can change the lawn that got passed on to you. You can remove the weeds, plant the seeds and fertilize it. And you can pass on to your children a different legacy. You can pass on to your children good health. You can pass on to your children good morals. You can pass on to your children a blessed lifestyle, a generous lifestyle. You can pass on to your children something different that was passed on to you. Can somebody say amen? When King David was dying, he passed on to his son Solomon, great wealth and riches. He passed on to him a throne and a great reputation. Israel enjoyed a great momentum and David passed all of that to Solomon. He gave him a blueprint of the temple. You know that Solomon didn't create the blueprint. David did. He just only had to build it. He gave him all the contracts and all the builders of who's going to build what and who owed favors to David. He did all of that. But what I love David for is not only he handed all the good things to his son. He also told his son Solomon, he says when I become a king, something is going to happen. The enemies that I accumulated throughout my life who were at times my friends, my coworkers, people who were in my bodies. He says they are not going to die or leave the country because I died. They actually will become your enemies. And David, excuse me, Solomon, I want you to deal with them accordingly. And David was very clear. He says don't let them die normal death. I want you to finish those enemies off. They're my enemies and sadly son, I'm passing them on to you. You know, I believe every godly parent has some things they fight for, fighting against. There's nobody here who says you know what, I'm perfect. Even if you're like David, man after God's heart, you still pass on certain habits that honestly you didn't conquer. Abraham was a man of faith, yet he had a little lying issue. Passed on to his son, grandson, great-grandchildren. What I love David for is not that he passed on blessings or he passed on bad things. It's the day when he prepared his son and said, listen, deal with the stuff you get passed on. He didn't say, hey son, you know, blame it on me. He says no, he says deal with it. And the Bible says this, before Solomon built the temple, before he built the house, before he did anything, Solomon does this. He goes in one after another and he executes the enemies of his father. And when they were executed, the scripture says this, and Solomon was established. Generally, one of the reasons people are not established is because they have not dealt with their daddy's demons. Mama's demons, grandma's demons, grandpa's demons. We live blaming people, we live shifting the responsibility to say, well, that's not my problem. If they did it, they didn't fight it. And you know, now it's unfair that I have to deal with this. See, Solomon didn't blame his dad. He just challenged the enemy that was passed on from his dad. And when he dealt with the enemy, the Bible says he was established. You want to be established in your relationships? Deal with your past. I'm not saying glorify your past. I'm not saying go back to your past. I'm not saying blame your past. I'm saying deal with it. If certain tendencies are repeating in you that were in your dad or in your mom and they are not in the heavenly father, deal with it. Pull the weeds, fertilize your lawn. If you're seeing a certain illness, running rampant in your family, honestly, stand up against it. You said, well, what if I've done nothing happened? Stand up against it until something happens. Somebody say, man. Some of our battles did not start with us. That doesn't mean we blame people. We take responsibility. Esther conquered her ancestors' enemy. Solomon conquered his father's enemies. So can you. So can I. If it's poverty, if it's fear, if it's barrenness, if it's chronic diseases, if it's financial lack, if it's premature death, if it's accident prone, if it's depression or chronic anxiety, whatever it is. If they could do it and they didn't even have the blood. They didn't even have the spirit of God in dwelling in them. We do. Your generational curse are at disadvantage in front of you. Because you have a generational blessing standing behind you and the Holy Spirit says, let's make things happen. Come on somebody. Come on somebody. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Let's put our hands together for the Lord. When the enemy appeared, when the enemy surfaced, Esther did not use political means to fight spiritual problems. I want you to write this down. Spiritual war can only be fought with spiritual ways. Esther, like every good politician, like a wife of a very powerful king, I'm pretty sure that her phone contacts had a lot of connections to governors, senators, and people who were very good and very connected. She could have easily sent a text message saying, hey guys, I need to gather together. Can somebody put something in Heyman's food for tomorrow's breakfast? So he doesn't make it back to the office. I mean, those days, they took care of problems very uniquely. If you watch the history or anything of that. So she could have used manipulative, political ways to solve a problem. I want you to see this. When the problem surfaces, Esther does not run to physical means to deal with physical problem. She gathers the women together and asks Mardukai to gather the whole people together. And says, I want us to fast and pray for three days. No water, no coffee, no juice, like no liquid at all. Like when we fast, we sip stuff, you know, we drink things, but nothing at all. And you must say, man, Esther, she's cute and also smart. You know, she's politically connected, but she's not dumb. She doesn't just see physical problem for a physical problem. She knows that. I know Heyman is connected and he presented well-versed plan to the king and sold him, manipulated him, showed him some financial data and everything. You know, she didn't say, well, if I just show to the king how the financial data is not really working, if I bring the facts, you know, she says, no, no. The first thing we need to do, it's a physical problem, but it has spiritual roots. Let's go into the spiritual realm and let's shake some roots up. So when I show up to the king, it's not going to be my facts that's going to move. There's going to be a spiritual force behind me because I've dealt with spiritual problem. Most of our physical problems have spiritual roots. And we have to be very honest with ourselves today to admit that the physical problem might have spiritual roots. And in order to just, instead of dealing with this physical problem, financial problem, relationship problem, you have to go in and start dealing first with the spiritual. I didn't say they're only with the spiritual, but first with the spiritual. Can somebody say Amen? With prayer, fasting, all of these things, it deals with the spiritual. If we look in the Bible, for example, you see that some sicknesses in the Bible, they were direct results of spiritual problems. An average, you will look at a woman who comes to church and she's been for 18 years and he will say she has a back problem. Jesus looked at that and said she has a demon problem. He cast out the devil and the woman was made straight. There was one person in the Bible, they couldn't speak and they couldn't hear, mute and dumb. And you would say, oh, they have a speech problem. But Jesus saw that the roots were way deeper than a speech problem. The physical problem had a spiritual roots. For example, we can look at Judas and say, oh, Judas had a stealing problem. Or Judas has a problem with denying Jesus. Judas is a backstabber. But in reality, the scripture removes the scales and puts us that Judas had a demon problem. And the devil put in the heart of Judas to betray Jesus and the devil entered Judas. Judas didn't do what he did because Judas was bad. Judas did what he did because Judas had something going on behind the scenes. Ananias, he lied about what he sold the property for. But the Bible says Peter rebuked Ananias. He said, why did you let Satan put in your heart to deceive to the Holy Spirit? Meaning it was a demon problem. I am not saying there's a demon behind every bush. It's probably behind every leaf. Things are way more spiritual than we think. The world we live in existed only for thousands of years or if you believe millions of years. But the world that we don't see existed for eternity. That world is eternal. That world is powerful. The world you see is very, very fragile. This world is a baby. The world you don't see is the father. The world you live in, everything you're facing, a lot of times fatigue, depression, fear, certain tendencies. We always say always physical and probably it is. But don't ever discredit to the ability and the possibility that you are in the spiritual world and the spiritual world has more effect than you give a credit to. I really want to just blow this deception of the enemy. Because the enemy is very cunning. The first thing we see about the devil in Genesis chapter 3 is the Bible says and the serpent was more cunning than any other animal. You know what that says? Devil's greatest gift is craftiness. Manipulative. That's why Jesus said he's a thief. If you've ever been stealing before in your life before coming to Jesus or before coming to church, you know one thing about stealing. In order to be a successful thief you have to remain anonymous and cover your tracks. You're only as good thief as you're able not to get caught. Nobody steals and posts it online. So devil's success is in damaging, stealing and destroying without you ever knowing or being able to connect the dots to him. And my goal today during this series is to shine the light and say listen there are tracks in your life and these tracks are not just yours. There's something else and it's not just you. Face the music. Face the enemy. Face the real, real issue. And those roots are spiritual. Otherwise what you're going to do is you're going to clean the spider web instead of killing the spider. Otherwise we're going to mow the lawn instead of pulling out to read the roots that are weeds. We're going to be like Balaam riding a donkey. The Bible says the donkey was moving sideways. And then it starts, it just dropped. So Balaam just dropped on the floor with the donkey and Balaam took a rod. Bow, bow, bow. He's beating the donkey. And he says if I would have a sword I would have killed you right now. And the God opens the mouth of the donkey. The donkey speaks back to the prophet and says hey listen fool. Have I ever done this to you? We wouldn't think I'm doing this on purpose. And the Bible says God opens the eyes of the prophet and the prophet sees that the reason why donkey's been going this way and it dropped was not because the donkey was having an attitude problem. The donkey didn't eat but because there was something spiritual standing there. The donkey felt the pressure and it couldn't move forward. Sometimes our health, our finances, our children have a spiritual opposition and they misbehave. They go like this and what we love to do is we go beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it. Now, sometimes you need to beat it. Just a little bit. It's not bad. Discipline the child. You need to give him curfew. Yes, you need a console, you need a therapy. We need all of that. That has its place. But first of all, remove the spiritual obstacle and then discipline the donkey. Can somebody say amen? Put the filter on your phone if you're struggling with pornography. But remove the demon of pornography first. Watch some comedy. Make yourself feel better. But remove the spirit of depression first. If there is divorce, take some marriage classes so that your next marriage doesn't end up like the previous. But break the generation, the curse of divorce first. We're not saying that spiritual solves everything, but spiritual is where everything begins first. And then we go into practical. Can somebody say amen? And so Esther, she deals with the spiritual problem. Nobody, I don't know who taught her. The spiritual tools, weapons are as follows. The word of God, the blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus. It's not just our education, our appearance, our knowledge of the Bible, but it's the word of God, the blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus. What that means that these things, they're huge in spiritual realm. Demons respond to the power of the blood of Jesus. The forces of darkness, they respond to the power of the word of God and the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is so powerful, is so powerful. We flippantly use it sometimes as a charm or like this, or this special phrase that does magic, but it represents Jesus. I sometimes use it as an example in our church because I'm one of the pastors on the team here. And so if somebody wants to get something done, a lot of times what they do is they use my name. And so they come up to that person and if they're trying to tell them, say, hey, could you get the done, they say no, they say Vlad said. And so Vlad said can open a lot of keys in the church for you. Vlad said, give me this, okay. Vlad said, give me coffee. Okay, they'll get your coffee. They won't even charge you. Vlad said, because why? They know that behind that, behind that Vlad is going to come in and stuff. And so at the one time even we had a person who spammed our core team and sent a scammed who send a spam and the scammed for about $140 because they represented Vlad on the email to them. And they looked, they look so good. I mean, they appeal to their emotion. They say, hey, I'm busy right now at the office. I'm talking to this cancer patient. And would you send me $100 iTunes card? I'll refund to you on Wednesday at your service. Pass of Vlad, GNY 2003, which is my email. And at the end they had a dot. My email doesn't have a thousand three dot. It just has a thousand three. And so, but nobody paid attention to that. And they had Vlad in the, in the, in the, in the there and in the bottom I have Vlad. And then, and so what they did is they, people, our team started to send a person iTunes card to help with cancer treatment. Now, I'm not sure our team, I guess they just kind of give money to iTunes thinking that somehow it connects to treatment. Those things don't connect. And somebody sends me a screenshot here and they said from our team, they said, Vlad, do you need the. I didn't scarred for $100 or $200. And I said, I don't need an iTunes card. But I mean, I like it, but I don't need who is, they said, you're meeting with the cancer patient. I said, not right now. And they send me the email. So I look at the email and I said, wow, that's so kind. That's like me. I look at the phrases and then I checked the email and I see one dot there. They didn't notice it. And so then I write to the person who is using my name to scam people to take money from them. And I said, listen, you're going to get cancer. He replied quickly. And I said, listen, if you are lying to people because of cancer, I'm like, be careful, you will get cancer for that. That's that's that's you. You're lying. This isn't bad. And he says, please pray for me. This never happens. And so I asked him, you know, the whole story and everything. So I forgave him and I canceled those words from coming into his life. I said, but if you scam one more person from our team right now. And he's like, oh, and I asked him how many people that he's come. He says to people to send him $70 or something. So it's 140 bucks using my name. Now, if somebody can manipulate the selfish gain, use someone else's name to get what they want. Bible says that there were people who will come before God and who in his name cast out demons, heal the sick, but didn't actually go to heaven. That means how much more? Listen, how much more is someone like you? Filled with the Holy Ghost, has a covenant with God, lives in the Word of God, lives under authority of Jesus. And you command that thing in your house to leave. That the Holy Spirit who you are close with will stand right beside you. The enemy has to flee. The enemy has to bow. And you have to succeed. Somebody say amen. Somebody give God praise for his name. Somebody shout Jesus. Come on, you can do better than that. Shout Jesus. Come on, somebody. When the plane goes through turbulence, nobody says Buddha. Everybody says, oh my God. Jesus. Well, you can believe it wherever you want to believe. When the plane is going down, there's only one name that's going to be coming out of your lips. It's that name that defeated death. It's that name that heals disease. It's that name that demons tremble in front of. That name. What is that name? What is that name? What is that name? Come on, make the devil mad. What is that name? Jesus. Come on somebody. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you Lord. His name is Jesus. That is our weapon, is the name Jesus. That is our weapon is the Word of God. That is our weapon, the blood of Jesus. But I want you to see. It's not mere shouting, mere professing. It's the power of the Holy Spirit behind that name. Because the Bible says the horse is prepared for battle, but the victory is of the Lord. In other words, the Word of God, the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus is prepared for our battles. But the victory comes from the Holy Spirit. By him, yoke is broken. Jesus says the Spirit of God is upon me, he has annoyed me. Even Jesus said, the Holy Spirit helps me to break the chains. When demons came out of people, he says, and they said, oh, that's the devil doing it. Jesus says, no, no, no, no, you blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Because he says, that wasn't just me. That was the Holy Spirit moving. See, when Esther went in to fight against these challenges, she had Mardukai behind her. Encouraging her, inspiring her, telling her what to do. Your Mardukai is the Holy Spirit. He adopts you into his heart. He is with you right now. Holy Spirit is not in heaven. He is omnipresent, but his presence, manifest presence, is with you. He comforts you. He loves you. He changes your name. He's always there to convict you. He's always there to inspire you. And he is there to lead you on to a battle and train your hands for war and your fingers for battle. Holy Spirit is my best friend. Holy Spirit is my partner. Holy Spirit is the one I rely on him. I shift the responsibility on him. When life gets too heavy, I say, Holy Spirit, we got to share the plate. Because this is your job, Holy Spirit, this is, and I know he loves to take that from me and say, let me, you rest, let me fight the battles with you. The Holy Spirit is the partner in the spiritual warfare. We don't fight alone. We're not just given by God a tool, a weapon. We're given by God a person to stand right beside it as we use the weapon. I'm not alone just, and I need to learn the tricks of how to pronounce God's word against the enemy. What's the right way to phrase things when things come against me? That is not where the secret is. The secret is I am together with the Spirit of the living God. Yes, I have the blood of Jesus. Yes, I have the word of Jesus. Yes, I have the name of Jesus at my disposal. I'm actually called by his name. But most important who I have is scarce the devil like crazy and puts his tail between his legs is the Holy Spirit. The Bible says when Mardukai would come in, Haman would get provoked to anger. I believe that when the Holy Spirit's presence comes in, it irritates demons like nothing else. Because the Holy Spirit is the only one who can challenge the devil. You can challenge the devil with your religiosity. Knowing the Christian needs doesn't frighten the enemy. Having a long history of being in church, it doesn't move the spiritual world. What moves is the Holy Spirit and he lives in you. He lives in me. We have a Bible. We have the blood of Jesus. We have the name of Jesus. But that is not where our victory lies. What our victory lies is in the Holy Spirit. And if you may be shooting the scriptures and you feel like it's nothing working, squeeze the hand of the Holy Spirit. And say, Holy Spirit, I got you. You got me. And this battle is going to be won. It's already been won on the cross, but it's going to be won in my life. Come on somebody. Because it's one thing what victory happened in heaven, victory happened in a Calvary. But there's a final blow to the enemy. It's when victory happens in your own backyard. When it happens in your own health. When it happens in your relationships. When it happens in your own mind. When it happens with your kids. And see, because the devil knows he defeated, got defeated from heaven. He got defeated at the Calvary. But we're talking about one more blow. And this is going to happen with the Holy Spirit. The third thing I want you to write this down. What I'm mentioning is access of the enemy can only be subdued by the authority of the believer. As we see in the story of Esther, the enemy had the access to the palace. He had the ability to operate there. He had the permission to work, plot and plan. But the enemy did not have a bed in the palace. The enemy had an office, but not the bed. He had the access, but not the authority. He had the permission, but Esther had a relationship. The enemy came in and out. Esther lived in the palace. And so sometimes people say, well, if I am a Christian, you know, Christians can never get attacked by the devil. It's true that as a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit living in you. And the enemy doesn't necessarily, doesn't have a permanent residence in your spirit. Because your spirit is occupied by Jesus. Can somebody say amen? The Holy Spirit lives there. The king of kings lives there. And you are in a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Can somebody say amen? But the enemy can have access to your soul. When he comes in and ties a particular area of your soul temporarily, or ties it one area. Everything else is good, but just one area is under control. He can come in and come out. He can have the access, but you have the authority. You have the authority. He can have the access, but you have the authority. The enemy can gain access through these means, through occult, through abuse, through accursed things. Meaning if you bring something that's been devoted to the devil into your house, or into your life, or into your car. Or it's just kind of funny. We were in Mexico on a bus. And we told the bus driver to drop us off at the dream's resort, which was the hotel that we were staying at. He was like, yeah, yeah, for sure. So I'm standing right next to him to make sure he doesn't miss that. And I'm noticing he has a dream catcher in the bus. And I was like, oh Jesus, protect us. We cancel every assignment of the enemy. So I kind of forgot about it. We keep driving, driving, driving. The guy drops us off about five miles away from our hotel. Now we spent all of our money at the beach. Gave some tips and everything. So we only had enough money just to get to our hotel. He dropped us off. He said, oh, I'm sorry, senior. I missed your dream's resort. You go out and go across the street and then take another bus. I was like, can you give me a receipt so I can go take another bus? Because I don't have money. He said, oh yeah, I'll give you a receipt. He gives me a receipt. But the receipt wasn't a ticket. So we get another bus. The guy's like, well, this is a receipt. It's not enough. You need to pay. And we don't have money. And the only thing that's coming to my mind is the dream catcher. I was like, that cursed thing messed me up. I was like, should have ripped that thing out. But a lot of times people bring dream catcher. So they bring widget boards. They bring demonic material into their house. And actually it gives Satan an access point. You still can go to heaven, but you might live in hell in here. The enemy will have an access to your family, to your life, in some way, shape, and form. Because it's giving him an access key and you are a treasure that he wants to destroy. And so a cursed thing is one of them. Generational curse or also a will for sin. It's somebody consciously willfully continuous to sin. Gives an access to the devil to come in and to come out. You might say, well, he doesn't live in me. That is true. As a Christian, Holy Spirit lives in you. You are in a relationship with God. But Haman, though he did not live in the palace, he plotted against the palace. He plotted against Esther. And he was really wanting to destroy her life. And so you can be a Christian, have a relationship with the Holy Spirit, relationship with God. But if you don't break the access of the enemy through repentance and renouncing, the enemy can still have a part of your life that he's attacking. And maybe you find yourself in that place today where you're a Christian, but you're realizing, man, I'm a believer this shouldn't be happening. But it's happening right now. Is it because I'm not a believer? Let me ask you a question. Was Esther not genuinely married just because Haman was in the palace? No. Her marriage was genuine. Her marriage was legit. She had somebody who had access until a particular time that Esther realized. We need to revoke that access. We need to get the brother out. And we need to cancel his coat, remove that from the system, and so that he has no longer access to this palace. And she went through fasting. She went to the king. She got a feast. And she got this whole thing until one day the Bible says that when they were eating, the enemy got on his knees in front of Esther. And the Bible says this. He was trembling. All these big plans. I'm going to kill the Jews. Went to what? And the king came in and he says, are you trying to assault my wife, my queen? What that means? He was pleading and begging. That's the real position of the devil in your life. Maybe right now that is your position, but not for long. We just need to swap the cards. Revoke the access. Break the chain. But for that to happen, you must understand. You must understand. You must understand. You must understand. You must understand. You must understand. For that to happen, you must understand. You already have authority. Not when the devil is on his knees. When he's thinking he's all big and bad. When you don't feel powerful, you are powerful. Because of the Holy Spirit that lives inside of you. When you feel like the world is falling apart and things are just getting worse and you may say, well, Lord, I prayed the prayer. I've renounced it, but it keeps coming back. That Heyman is like, you just can't get rid of him. I want to tell you something. Keep on keeping on. Keep on fighting one. Because he has a rightful position. And the Bible says his rightful position is on his knees. Actually, Jesus is under our feet being trampled upon. Oh, Jesus! Trampled upon. Not trampling me and you, but trampled upon. Come on, somebody. That is his rightful place. That's where cancer belongs. That's where depression belongs. That's where divorce belongs. That's where the cycle in the family belongs. Under my feet. Under your feet. Somebody say amen. I want to encourage you right now. I know that maybe sometimes when you're fighting something for so long and we're going to a church where maybe you're agreeing with your home group and others and maybe you felt discouraged today. Maybe you felt like you know what if Heyman wants to kill? Hey, at least I'm going to die a queen. No, no, no, no, no, no. There's gallows prepared for him already to be hanged on. You shouldn't be planning your funeral. You need to plan your testimony. You need to plan your victory because there is blood and there is power in the blood of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus to raise people from the dead, to raise you from your situation. Listen, the demons still are going to hell. The devil is still being defeated on the cross and you are victorious in God. Esther, you got authority and that authority trumps access. It trumps Heyman. It defeats his plans and his plots. Today is a time to revoke the access. Stand on your authority. But I want us to begin first by welcoming precious Holy Spirit. He's here. But to say Holy Spirit, we need you a little bit more today. It could be one touch of the Holy Spirit in this room and you will never be the same. One moment or something goes through you you will feel like a lecture shock, like a light buzz. You walk out different and never have that problem again because the Holy Spirit is your power. And then I want to lead you in the prayer of repentance because someone was here today actually we have given Satan the access key. You've given him the pin. You've given him your source security and your passport. Your safe is in his pocket. You've invited maybe willful maybe you did not know that these things are not good for you. And today we're going to repent of that. Maybe somebody abused you and you felt like it gave you a right to be bitter and offended but today you're going to let go of that so that Satan's access key can be cut into pieces. And then we're going to confront the enemy. That whatever you came with today you're not going to leave the same. I'm not here to do another service. We're here to do a victory.
