 He's ready Mercy Everybody needs mercy and the people who think they need no mercy need a double portion of mercy I'm here by the mercy of God. I Was a guy that could mess anything up good things I Would have these encounters with God and go right back to sin one day I'm I Just got my first computer. This is going back a little ways Sucker was about this big on the monitor and I saw some kind of witchcraft stuff pop up I never really had thought about the computer. I just got it. I got my real estate license for me It was just business I never thought much of of the capacities of the computer I didn't even have a glimpse of where it would be today and the things that you could just click and the speed You could get it But I saw this witchcraft stuff these cards and I said Lord I pray that that this wouldn't come against people that you would protect people on and I'm just kind of my lazy mode I was a ticket scalper. So we only had to work every other day or something. I worked a couple hours a day and real selfish and I started weeping caring about somebody Brought something out of me that I didn't know was in there as a born-again Christian I hadn't tapped into it and I start weeping on this floor in this condo in Mesa and I kind of wonder well, what do I do now when it was done? What do I do? I think it was like 1230 and I looked up and I had my mountain bike hanging on a little Little hook and something said get on your bike and ride and I'm not Overwhelming sensation or a voice. I just sense get on that bike and go somewhere and I start riding down the canal and I end up being they were just building the whole come new baseball park where the Cubs play it used to play I saw how long ago this is and I Also, I started getting some muscle cramps in my thighs I said, oh man I got a I got a stop and stretch here a little bit and it was so dark that I said if anyone starts coming across my path I'm just going to turn the other way and bounce. It's just too dark to be crossing Paz with people and the minute I said that to myself there was a man in front of me like this close And I don't know what leads into it, but I start telling him about Jesus Next thing you know, he's holding me jerking me around and crying You're not lying to me. Please don't lie to me. Is this a lie? I said no, God loves you and now I'm kind of crying At the end he's weeping and he's stinking me and I get back on my bike And I said wow, it's amazing what God will do if you ask him See if you'll take your mind off of yourself and Think about somebody else The devil has a hard time catching you, but when you start thinking about deliverance It's all about myself now, and you do need to make a critical evaluation of yourself We need to go back and we need to shut those doors which were open and the evil one has access Especially if he's going to a fro or something still in there But he wants you to overwhelmingly think about yourself again and again and again And what parts of yourself do you think you want you to think about the negative part of things you did? So after having that encounter with Jesus No one told me about deliverance I go back and I'm only working every once in a while and man, I'd go down I'd jam some rock music I'd come out of my Mustang GT with some rims on it and some loud speakers I'd be ready to go man. It was me against the world. I was about to get paid You might have got overcharged if you bumped into me looking for son's tickets in the early 90s It was all about me And then after a few days of that I wouldn't know how to tap into these things with God on a continual basis And then I'd go back to smoking weed And smoking weed if you never smoked weed before don't do it But eventually what weed does for you is you just become your other self. You're really not even high You just that other self But that other self doesn't really care about anything that's important and certainly not things that are spiritual And I would go through these cycles and I and I would feel After a couple days of it like oh man, I just wanted to smoke this once I smoked three times last night two times today I'm feeling like doing it again. Well, where do I go? How do I and then a little while longer another encounter happens and I remember I Had just been really nasty to a bunch of people and in the ticket business Your fellow colleagues are either incredibly greedy Drug addicts or gamblers So they don't care what you look like they care about what you'll do to them because they don't want to smoke crack with a Swole-eye They don't want to try to scalp with a swollen lip the next day have to explain that one And so you have to just be this person that I really wasn't that person But if you've gotten my way and you wanted to test me I could be that person then I would so I almost getting these fights with a bunch of people and I get into this cab and Instantly when I look at this guy, I could see a glimpse of something spiritual. I didn't know what it was at first but it wasn't It was some kind of fear, but who would be fearful in doing his job as a cab driver working at the airport And it was this fear and I said something. Hey, what's going on with you? And he began to relay all this information Hey, I met a woman and I was wanted to be married and and the church said I can't get married And I've been trying to live for God and do everything right and change my life And the church tells me I can't get married because I don't have a good enough job I can't guarantee that I'd be a good enough provider for my family and I said what church is this? He says I'm a Jehovah witness Just so happens. I had read a little pamphlet That that was the reincarnation of Michael the Archangel and I began to explain it to him And I said and what happens when these people pick up another Jesus is they have another spirit behind them and that was a condemning spirit. That wasn't God And I'm saying these things in the whole time. I'm setting back like I'm dumbfounded that this is coming out of me I read a little pamphlet a few days ago. I Said a little something like well I'd like to share that with somebody a few of these dudes knocked on my door instead of talking with them I just told him to beat it. I was busy. I got something for him now. That's about my only prayer or consideration About what I ingested and it was coming out and at the end I'd already taught the guy into a $40 cab ride for 25 bucks. I Ended up praying with the guy leading him to Jesus and he's something's happening to him And I know what it is about a year a few months earlier. He was getting saved At that point. I'm like, I can't be greedy with this guy and I'm giving him money. I'm feeling guilty. That's not I'm giving him more money. He's telling me I don't need that money and I walk away God tells me At first I said to God I said or maybe I'll say it to myself. I can't believe that just happened and The sensation I got God I want to tell people I hear from God. They'll hear from God. He doesn't speak in my ears It's kind of like when Paul heard the voice of God no one around Him heard anything they saw the light but they didn't hear anything and he said imagine what I could do in your life If you'd only get out of the way see this flesh oh See your wrestling with your flesh and the demons are like the puppet masters and They know how to send emotional distress financial dissent distress concerns The past to get you to kind of move and feel things and then unfortunately Over time they'll get you to open these doors To evil evil is no joke The brother that was testifying something was growling. Oh, I know those growlers. I Had to get rid of one of those. I was one of my first deliverances Had a growler in there Spirits will come in and when the spirits come in they'll get you to treat people any way that you want to treat those people But as a born-again Christian the first thing God called you out of in the light is Treating someone like you want to be treated. You're not hearing me What he's telling you is that you can do what you want when someone has these manifestations They deserve these type of Actions and words that come from your mouth and the lack of love and lack of concern and lack of prayers because they've done these things in deliverance Is mandatory It's a part of the gospel if you're sick. It's mandatory. You get healed. God does not want you sick He does not want you with mental illness. He does not want you with perversion spirits and anger spirits self-hatred spirits He does not want you with that and you cannot Behavioral modify yourself enough to stop those manifestations And if you did they'd only move over here and do something else and you'd be dealing with that you got done with that They'd move over here until you die When they come in they got to be kicked out and I know their spirits that are kicked out the minute you believe I know that's the gospel says if anyone does not believe in the gospel the goddess world has blinded the minds of them that believe not The minute you believe something was in your mind blocking you it was blocking me saying hey, man You should get saved Well, let's not get saved when we can have sex with beautiful women I mean get saved when you're old and you just can't do it I mean that's a good time to get saved right when you ain't got no hustle when you go and get saved in That was a spirit in my mind Blocking me from the gospel and when I got old and couldn't do those things it would be telling me something else It was never gonna stop the gospel. I I see the gospel Every week in the jails the gospel is God comes down and does something for you that you can't do yourself Number one you can't deliver yourself either you take the Authority that God gave you when you humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and God will exalt you into a place of freedom by his power Jesus comes down and fulfills But he's not a high priest that doesn't know how to sympathize with our struggles because he himself was tempted in every way I mean he wasn't dealing with some Little bit of rejection because kids didn't like you in the third grade You got a black eye in the ninth grade and kids laughed at you You were dumped by a boyfriend when you were 16 and broke your heart No, Jesus was dealing with principalities and powers. He was dealing with the super powerful demons and defeated them all Standing on the word of God and so he becomes our high priest The righteousness of another is imputed upon me my death that I deserved for the wages of my sin was death He died in my place and paid it in full And you got all these Christians trying to atone for their sins, but brother. Here's what you hear, but brother. You don't understand what I've done Okay You ever heard of Adolf Hitler? Oh, what's I got it? Well, he killed it's four million Jews He could have went on the glory by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ the son of the living God Jesus said he died for the sins of the world that if you would repent of your sins He would cleanse you from the unrighteousness you're walking around with this unrighteousness that will never leave because you're holding on to it You got to forgive yourself. Is that saying what you did is okay? No, you need to make a change you and repentance is changing not doing those things tapping into a power that comes from God Not to repeat that cycle But my life was that cycle Till I got delivered we can only tell some of these stories in the jails because they don't have auto recordings I used to think my wife didn't work I started being funny like Mike and say oh my don't worry my wife. Don't listen sure enough. She started listening There's some things you just got to let die in the past But these cycles just kept coming They just kept coming into the point where I heard God's call. I I felt well I'm called to tell people about Jesus I I was going through the experiences of of wrangling my friends. They'd move this way Well, I'm not don't have this and I don't want it. I come over there and I box them in I didn't know how to let God plant a seed. I didn't know how to wait patiently and water it I didn't have the patience to pray in the secret place to see that thing come to harvest I I was trying to get it all in one and what God had to do is sit me down and teach me his ways and Teach me how to move out of his way so that he could do what he wanted to do that He wanted to save my friends, but my friends had to come to a knowledge of wanting to be saved Understanding the depravity that they needed to be saved Then God would come in and do that and so sometimes I would get frustrated Sometimes I would I had such great success early on because God was showing me what was out there He was showing me what he wanted me to do But sometimes you're not gonna win everybody at the season of the time that you're hoping that they get saved And so I would kind of drift away from it like wow, I must have done something wrong I must have said it a little confusing. He couldn't understand it clearly and I would kind of drift away And I remember one time it had been It had been four years and I was ministering again, but my my vision was ministering in a On a pulpit ministering in front of a congregation. That's what I saw on TV. That's what I saw a church That's what I thought if you're a minister That's where you do your your your ministering and I was on the streets of Phoenix and I was ministering to people But in my mind, I thought well, man, you know, hey, you know Just homeless people. Hey, it's just people struggling with addiction and the devil was slowly Devaluing what I was doing And to the point where he actually threw the thought in my head and he says wow What happened to you that you missed that call when you were called the minister? See that devil I know that he sucked a lot of your hopes and dreams already out of you But it's really not out of you. He's just trying to make you believe that it's out of you He's a masterful deceiver and so finally God begins to show me some more miracles and now it starts happening a little bit more often And I started looking at my life and I said wow This is really happening a lot and I started evaluating why it was happening a lot because I was praying a lot I was asking a lot. I was expecting a lot. I didn't care who it was I was just interested in investing into somebody and if you'll go to the lowest of low God'll give you some people in some prominent places And I went in the literal Six-month period from that time are those encounters from ministering the homeless people to being in a NFL X NFL Players house a multi-million dollar mansion in San Diego up on the hills When we left the meeting drove off in his Ferrari and when I came in there all the lights were off And it was dark and he was his head was sloped down And he was depressed and and I used to sell this artwork And I begin to talk to him and he says man This is the first year out of 13 years of being an NFL player that I'm not playing. This is the first time in 20-some years I haven't played football and and I don't know what to do with my life And I I don't know what's going on with me and I begin to break down the simplicity of the gospel of Jesus Christ And he said well, I've been going to church and I do like it and I said well Are you born again? Are you saved? He says I don't know I said well you can know you can have an encounter with the living God the guy had an encounter with the living God Right there in that house. So I went from the streets of 7th Street and Jefferson To a multi-million dollar house in six months. What was that? God had to get me in a position where I was pliable People who don't get delivered aren't pliable. God can't work with them. They're stubborn. They've hardened themselves They're mad at God. They're mad at themselves. They're mad at their spouse and now it's all about you It's not about anybody anymore. It's only about you our economy It's boom. I've been in a real estate for 10 years No, 13 years now and the economy is booming now in this area It's way higher than it was in the peak of 2007. It's booming But what happened was? We started just taking off like a rocket in 2004. We peaked in 2006 and it all came crashing down by 2009 and everybody panicked and Something like 40 some percent of every home in Maricopa County was either in foreclosure or had to do a loan remodification And people just were abandoning their properties and pretty soon It was negative report upon negative report. It was negative voice over here. How bad could could it get no one knew How low it could go And now everyone's looking back including myself going I should have held on It was bad But I should have held on because it came back. You're not hearing me see your ministry Can come back and it can come back greater than ever your joy can come back It can come back greater than ever your family can come back and greater than ever, but you can't fold You can't quit People quit I quit I said, okay. It came back a little I sold took my cash Man, that's I don't even want to say how much that would be right now in today's market And so many people abandon all this property as it though it had no value Why because the world said it had no value the negative voices were saying that it had no value Every all you heard was negativity so people were just getting rid of it Just letting the bank have it just walking away from it turning in your keys for a thousand dollars to the bank So that they could lock it up and sell it at auction So many people gave away their hopes and dreams Their ministry they've gave away even their own sound mind now After years of negative thoughts they start here and Then they work their way up and they put a band around your mind Where it's just negative thought after negative thought and now since the secular Medicine and doctors don't understand spiritual things they diagnose you with mental illness Since they don't know how to get you healed by the broken body of Jesus Christ They now begin to give you chemicals because in their philosophy here just six thousand chemicals over billions of years Those chemicals don't work. We'll try other chemicals those chemicals will cause problems. So we'll give you these chemicals and Then you deteriorate It's so sad and it happens day after day after day in the world and in the church if you go look at the divorce rates the bankruptcy rates all All these things are almost the same in the church as it is in the world And we're called to be the called out one when you're called to come out and you start moving forward Whatever is in you has to come up and challenge it. It has to And the Lord's gonna allow it to happen because he wants it to come out of you But then you've listened to negative voices and they've told you why is God allowing this to happen if God loved you Why would your husband be like this? Why would your wife do that to you? Why would your business partners rip you off? Why would you have nothing and nobody love you or care for you? And they're lying to you God's moving you forward so that he can set you free and so that you can truly grow and be the man That you were called to be the woman you were called to be and I've seen it in the Jails I've seen people that I looked at them. I don't do it anymore. I almost looked at the most jacked up one and say Oh, you're in luck today It's gonna be good for you buddy I before I used to just look for talent and talented good-looking guys there was guys in there Man, they look good and they had muscles and they were young and they were charismatic and they'd been to Bible College Those guys never made it It was always some guy, you know drifting off in space little goofy limp, you know broken heart busted And God would begin to do this See, what was the difference? Those men knew they needed the miraculous the other men that had all these things Didn't really need a miracle because they could look at their self They could look at their their their charisma They could look at their training their biblical knowledge and they could rely on that But these people that get these miraculous miracles realize that's their only hope Is a miracle and my pride would keep me from miracles my flesh would bear up and Pretty soon. I began to believe the devil's lies Guys would stop by hear me preach and say hey, man You're doing more than my pastor, man. I like just tied your ministry. I'm a hot dog vendor So I'm being a beef hot dogs with a little money belt around my waist Wow, I started thinking man. I'm pretty good and pretty soon. I'd be a church and my pastor's a pretty dull He was pretty dull guy. He's a good guy. I believe God speaks for him But he was a dull guy, but he was a set-apart guy and I look up there and go I Go man, when's my shot Lord? I already saw myself up there, man It's time to get me up there and let this thing go as it goes in the jail. Let's get this place going and Then some jail guy would come in it's like bro Tell you call me when you're gonna be preaching man And it would fuel me and I used to preach completely different I used to to preach to try to to move in emotions Oh, I quit all that if there's not moving of the spirit you get pumped up for a couple hours a couple days a couple weeks at best and then it's back to the same old you and That's not worth it to me That's not worth it to me I'm looking for God to to do something in the heart what he did for me What I seen him do for these men that come out of nothing and become something supernatural I'm looking for him to do that every time I preach But you got to want it yourself If you're good if you can work yourself out of this mess on your own If you've got enough to rely on in case God doesn't come through. Oh, it's gonna be a slow process It's gonna be a slow process But you get to the fork in the road where you understand But only God only God And I do believe that God said you want a firm foundation He gives you clear direction He put something in you and you go without a shot of a doubt, but when that thing isn't going Then there's something we got to get out of us and What keeps coming up to the top the Lord wants you to face it and when you face it You realize to the power of Jesus Christ through the power of his name Through the authority of the name Jesus you can get it out. You can drive it out It's real, but if you believe all this doctrinal garbage from Church, holy, holy, I can't have a demon. You know, oh, no, they're over here like a bird Just get him off your shoulder brother and go forward Come on man, that don't I wish it was that easy now. Does God do miracles like that without a doubt? I've met those people Drunks cursing all the time and bam. They didn't do that anymore. Did they still have to go through some deliverance? Yeah, they were angry dudes I seen him preach like incredible and get teeth grinding mad on the way home So we all have to go through stuff God doesn't do everything because he wants to teach us his nature. Remember God is a man of war The kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent will take it by force The Jews just don't walk into the Promised Land because a plague hit him and the first born and the second born were all wiped out And it was easy pickings knocking out the women and children No, they went in and took it by force being outnumbered outgun outsized out experienced Minimal weapons compared to superior weapons no fortified cities to hide in and moving in and taking the territory You got to learn something amen you got to learn something and The tax are so subtle He don't want you getting in this big war for someone's soul. He is just work you to death with negative thought disorder You can't make you bad He'll just make you busy for a season till you burn out don't have time to finish your deliverance You don't have time to edify yourself. You don't have time to stir up the faith. You don't have time to preach the gospel to yourself Then he'll hit you. He's got patience like you can't believe. Oh He works with pride. He works with low self-esteem. He works with poverty He works with abundance of wealth He's willing to play with the chips of the whole world including all the emotions of the world all the people of the world But see the Bible is always talking about coming out from among Coming out from among them is an opportunity to separate yourself to hear from God and do this thing But when you're among them and you're in them It's it's it's like trying to run a sprint race I'm beating you saying bull if you put him in ten inches of mud He's running in mud and I'm running on this rubber mat. I'm winning that hundred yard dash maybe Put him in 12 inches of mud. I guarantee that one He wants you running in this mud in this muck So many people they tell me they come here. They tell us of these elementary Schemes of the devil. These are not advanced schemes of the devil There's someone at my work and they're against me and they're gossiping about me and they're and they're I think they're Someone's in there and matter of fact, I think they're praying witchcraft against me The witchcraft is coming from you because you are in rebellion. You're taking a fence You're a fault finder. You're the nitpicker and what was in you just came up and manifested with these people and Now what's in you is blaming something or someone else, but he likes to quote Philippians 4 13 all these all these athletes man Evander Holyfield he beat Mike Tyson and he ward on his side of his trunks. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength But the Irish man don't read Chapter 3 and all the chapter 4 well chapter 3 verse 12 says this not that I've already attained it or I'm already perfect, but I press on I'm not perfect He this is Paul. I'm not perfect. I Haven't already obtained it He says that I may lay at home. He says but I press on You're not perfect. You're supposed to press on you haven't obtained it all the way you press on That I may lay a hold of that which Jesus Christ has also laid hold of me That's why the Bible says those who overcome shall inherit the kingdom of God those who press on All the Jews were supposed to come out of the Red Sea and into the Promised Land But who makes it? To They're dying in the wilderness from going back to false gods wanting to go back to slavery Going that back into sexual immorality and the scriptures Once you're saved the devil's under your feet. Let me tell you I just put him down there and do like putting out a cigarette, but Adam was in the presence of God and the most amazing thing to me and You can shut your ears if you're under 20 years old is not that he had this beautiful garden with no weeds Not all these wonderful plants all this beautiful crystal clear water coming out of the rivers and streams and ponds and fish and It was that out of his bone came the most off-the-hook unblemished woman any man has ever seen and The most greatest thing about it was She was made for the man And she was to be his helpmate. He had the most off-the-hook help make What are we doing today Adam? Well, let me tell you this is what I'm thinking and it was a hundred percent in Not only did he get it off the hook fine woman, but she was uncorrupted Undefiled unperverted and he had everything And he was able to fall he was able to let all the humanity received the death gene Sin comes into the world to one man Therefore death reigns in all men You weren't kind of bad. You weren't a pretty good person. Oh We were by nature an object of the wrath of God and it's not till the glorious good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ that God has to send his only son to come in and rescue us the ability for a human being to be this To be misled to sin is incredible and Paul says you got to set up this infrastructure Surrounding yourself with a cloud of great inner circle. That's not a great witness. Oh, they're really funny Oh, the devil's not stupid. He can't send someone in there. That's just needy and a bag of needs and wounds He's got to send somebody in there with something you like He's not dumb Surrounding it do not neglect the gathering of the saints as many are in the habit of doing it Well, I just watch TV on Sundays and get my spiritual bill There's things you got to do. There's things you got to do He says in verse 13 he says I do not count myself to have apprehended but one thing I do for getting those things which are behind and reaching Towards those things which are ahead I press on towards the goal of the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus He made a covenant with us through the gospel that he would never leave us and he would never fade never Forsake us. He said that if if we forgot about him, he'd never forget about us He talks about finishing the work that he began in us So you walk with Jesus Christ you never walk alone But so many people come in here and they believe without a shadow of a doubt they're walking on their own But according to the gospel Karina was just quoting it and preaching it before we I got up here God holds his word above his name if he makes all those promises Then those promises are above your reality of the way you feel the way you think the way that you deal with things every day It's above that that's the truth and what you're dealing with is only a temporary Symptom thank you Lord. He says I press on to a goal a Goal is that anything you've ever thought about a goal with with Christ Jesus the minute I got saved. I realized we got to get people saved I got to realize I was sitting in that church here here in the gospel and I was being convicted and the devil hardened my heart He told me says hey, you can't be saved. He said you tried teachers coaches principles counselors You try them all and you always go back to your old self. You don't want to play games with God And he made me concede So then I made up in my mind to harden my own heart. So when the moving of the spirit would come A lot of people they don't like to talk about CCV the biggest mega church in the valley But Pastor Don had the Holy Ghost I don't know what's going on there now But his the son's dad had the Holy Ghost on 19th Avenue and he get the preaching and the gospel would start Penetrating my heart and I'd say nope. I got to stop it back. I got to hold it right there It can only go so far Because I've conceded in my heart. I can only go so far with God I can't go all the way and be saved and live right for him because I'll fail him like I failed all those people See the devil makes all kinds of people concede conceded in the not being saved conceded in the not being delivered Conceded in not fulfilling that goal that God put in their heart a destiny a mission to help somebody to do something And you let the world beat it out of you You ain't got the looks for that Come on, there's people with far more charisma than you you think God's gonna use someone with the dull little Manorism is yours. Oh, come on. He's dealing with billions of people now and you bought that lie You conceded a something that God put inside you And the plan that he had for you was before this earth was even formed before he made the first man out of dust He had this plan that devil tries to whittle it out of you and all he'll give you everything stupid I can't believe the price of the right is still on I Cannot believe that there's still soap opera's that dude Victor Maitland still on I remember seeing that do with my grandma It is it is this you I can't even knock or watch sports He'll tell you the Hill Taylor made something for everybody. I'm not soaring with Eagles and looking down on turkeys We all got our problems, but my goodness. He can put you to sleep with the simplest stupidest things drinking beer Come on man drinking beer is not gonna even get you drunk after a while. It just gets you that irritated self That's always not content and tired the next day. I mean he just sucks life out of people It's so sad you circle K's are sad places to me. I'd like to buy a lotto ticket. Give me five scratchers Here let me give you the winner sir put those back and leave with your five bucks You know a circle K walking out with two twelve packs like oh man. That's a dude close to dying He's closer than he thinks There's something there's a DUI weight in the heaven. There's a wife leaving somebody quick here It is sad what the devil doesn't and no one brings any light See we're supposed to be called out people that the light of God shines through us How's it gonna shine through you is that you have some joy? The joy the Lord is your strength someone reaches out for strength and hope and they know it's joy Everybody that helped me in my life every mentor had some joy I didn't chase after people that could you know rip the mic real good and preach. Oh, I want to be him Gee, where's your handkerchief? Let me rub it on my forehead and get that anointing. I Wanted some joy You get some joy and you can do something You get some joy you can believe for that goal that God put in your heart when you were first saved And then it can get you to reach out for it and press on Understand that you haven't obtained it all you aren't perfected just yet, but you keep moving forward Now therefore let us as many as our mature Remember Paul said that people are mature go on to the deep things which is the discerned good from evil He says have this mind and That if anything you think otherwise God will reveal even this to you Come on now. You got to let him reveal something to you in the sanctuary. What's you what's good? And what's evil so that you can get some deliverance? He says nevertheless to the degree that we have already obtained Let us walk by the same rule and let us be of the same mind Oh, I need people around me that are the same mind. I told you every time I get it I wait every other time but every other time I preach I think I tell people that at one point I wanted to quit this ministry But I would get around people like Kelly and Mike I would get around people like Ron and and Robert and and I'll say wait a minute There's there's joy in doing what you're called to do I don't have any joy wrestling because this ministry and no one's gonna pat you on your back like oh brother I heard you had a deliverance ministry. My god. It's incredible You got 60 people coming down there for deliverance No one's ever done that and most likely no one will ever do it Few might so holy ghost people But the world ain't gonna love it you went down and you had a bunch of people and you preached just the love of Jesus All the world's cool with that all my friends were cool with Jesus They were all good with Rick being a Christian and not smoking weed and going to the strip clubs They were all good with that But the minute you start telling them you got demons and you better check these demons and you don't care by the third round I'm talking to you. Let me tell you them demons are coming down for your kids. They flip They flip because it's on them now and now you know the truth and to whom's much has been given much more is required When you didn't know he who doesn't know will be beat with a few strikes But he who knows and does it anyway will be beaten with many stripes and this this thing serious You wonder why the world don't love you Let me tell you the world by the masses do not love God and you're wondering why they don't love you Jesus says hey if they hated me they'll hate you No servant is above his master. It's enough that he's like his master people don't realize what it's like for Jesus It's a hundred percent man Jesus had to grow up as a boy and become a man He grew in knowledge you grew in wisdom he grew in favor with man and favor with God He grew up as a man a hundred percent man and a hundred percent God and his own people betrayed him his own mother doubted his own Divinity his brothers in confusion his disciples confused been with them so long. Why don't you just show us the father? This will be enough Don't you know Haven't I been with you long enough that you would know that my father isn't me and that I am in my father He's got the two brothers he's a kin let's tell you these people who didn't want the gospel Let me call down fire like Elijah and let's consume these suckers Jesus. Let's burn them. You see these idiots Let's burn them. He said look you don't even know what spirit you're of The Bible doesn't record that he was cast in those spirits out though what the Bible makes me understand is he kept moving Latin those people come to the realization. Whoa God just spoke to me and said I'm speaking through another spirit. I don't want no other spirit in me. Oh God will lead you to repentance God's word will lead you to freedom if you want it if we get up here and we start telling you what you need and How you need to do it and how these spirits will come out. We're gonna go nowhere We're gonna go nowhere you gotta you gotta want it in your heart and believe in your heart that there's Something in you that God put in there. It's called the Holy Ghost and with the Holy Ghost all things are possible People getting saved people getting healed delivered having a ministry that bears much fruit. I Was preaching the other day in the jails and I told this story I had a I had a boss and he had heard Jesus from me for ten years And he lost His income he was smart enough. He didn't even lose his money when the economy was going bad He bought a million dollars with a gold at six hundred and fifty dollars an ounce and sold it at $1,800 an ounce. He didn't even lose his money But what he did for the first time since college was he lost his ability to? Retain wealth and he went into a gross depression the backyard of his house is all glass Looking on the backside of Camelback Mountain. He developed the whole block that he lives on And he sowed down and I'm telling the crowd for Jesus. I'm at his house. He's like I'm trying. I'm trying But he wanted a Jesus that would give him his life back would give him his money back and Jesus isn't going to come and Change for you. You got to change the Lord said I am the same yesterday today and forever I do not change that means we must change Hallelujah, and so I'm with this minister and And I invite this guy out to lunch I kind of set it up as a business Deal, but I'm hoping that this guy can get something and this guy's got an anointing This guy has preached in front of fifty thousand people at one time This guy when he shows up you invite him to church you get him a first-class ticket a hotel a Rent-a-car and most of the time they give you an honorarium of thousands of dollars to preach and we're sitting down at this barbecue joint And I said hey, you know the business deal didn't look like it was going anywhere He wasn't interested. He didn't really see how it all worked and he you know, he's pretty stubborn In his business deals, so he didn't like it. I said well, hey You know Steve has lost 40 pounds. I'm telling my buddy. I said he's down and he's going through depression And his hair is falling out and he sees bad here and a guy kind of thanks Thanks for pumping me up here. You know, he's kind of cynical about it, but he's not denying everything. I'm saying and I and he goes okay. I heard you're a preacher He said what do you got and The guy goes well, have you seen any of my videos? Have you watched any of my teachings? He said I don't want to hear about any of that stuff. What do you got right now? He has an anointing for the masses. It's real. I've seen it. I've been there. I've seen one Hundreds of people rush an altar. I've seen the moving of the Holy Spirit like Nothing I've ever seen before for the longest times where waves of the Holy Ghost just kept coming down so long I said how long can this last it's normally doesn't last this long and it kept coming But one individual was sitting there and he was dumbfounded and I'm not trying to criticize the guy It's just because he hadn't been thinking about one individual. He hadn't been working anticipating one individual and I told these jail guys god needs a bunch of people that are equipped for one individual He don't need a whole bunch of people equipped for 50,000 Because there's not too many assemblies of 50,000 people looking for the word of god But there's a whole lot of individuals looking for the word of god and looking for some help And we need to be ready to help that one individual And if you can't help one individual, which this man legitimately has helped one individual I've met numerous people that were a part of his congregation that he had helped and added to the church But at that particular time He wasn't ready. We need to be ready for that one person Get yourself ready if you get yourself your mind off yourself Something will spark in you gotta put a spark in you and start showing you the value of people the way he sees people And you'll start having some hope you'll have some goals to do something for somebody But when it's all about you this thing's running in mud Gotta go back to the deliverance center either on thursday or friday You know what I need to call another minister to see what he can tell me You need another minister like you need another hole in your head You need the simple gospel of jesus christ his broken body and the power of the name jesus christ And enter in by faith and force your way in And don't quit Chapter six He says but in all things we are commended ourselves ministers of god in must much What patience The greatest minister of all time paul has patience and you don't think you need patience You don't pray for patience If you would want anything to do with any ministry even in ministry of one individual you better tap into some patience You want to be delivered you better tap into some patience because in the patience you can Learn some things you can hear some things you can discern some things He says in tribulations in needs and distresses He says in stripes and imprisonments and tollments in labors in sleeplessness and fastings Impurity and knowledge and long suffering and kindness and the holy spirit in sincere love By the word of truth by the power of god by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left Are you telling me you haven't read these things? And to think we're above these things Well, you don't understand. It's my husband I don't care who it is. I don't care if it's the jews. I don't care if it's the romans I don't care if it's a bunch of barbarians. It doesn't matter who it's from we go through these things and through this weakness Something comes out of you a need for god some god moving in you and a little less of you and a little more him It goes on and he says By the word of truth by the power of god by the by the armor of righteousness by the right hand and by the left By honor and dishonor when was dishonored their church didn't love me. I had to leave They didn't accept me and my gifts. They didn't let me to the side. I wanted a miniature and they wouldn't let me Well, poor you boohoo. Gee paul paul got the boot out of a few hundred synagogues. How about that for you? As unknown yet. I'm well known. You think you don't know me. Oh god knows me he says In dying we behold we live and chastened and yet not killed as sorrowful yet always rejoicing As sorrowful but always rejoicing you don't think someone's going to be sorry when someone leaves you You don't think someone's going to be sorrowful when you lose something when you lose a job When you lose the opportunity when you get the revelation of what the devil stole from you You don't think there's going to be a little bit of sorrow. That's a natural human emotion that god gave you So that you would hold on a little tighter to your valuables The next time they come around in the same situation comes around you don't repeat that cycle Yes, you're going to be sorrowful. He said but sorrowful yet. I'm always rejoicing Come on. You think you just read this one time. I just do it. I read it and I do it No, you've got to practice this over and over and over again As poor yet making many rich Having nothing and yet possessing all things Then he goes down in verse 17 and he's quoting isaia 52 and he says therefore come out from among them and be ye separated Says the lord and do not touch what is unclean and I will receive you I'll be a father to you and you should be my sons and my daughter says the lord almighty We got to come out I understand you don't go to the bar and you don't smoke. We don't have medical marijuana card He's talking about coming out of this negative thinking about you. It's all about you. You watching tv It's all about you It's gone up to such a high degree that they're playing reality shows about the real housewives of these different cities in america And I can't tell if it's all fake or if those people really act and think like that Because if they act and think like that, we're oh, this is scary We are watching demons in full manifestation when you watch into these lustful shows And it's all about this dating. Oh my god, uh ladies I know you gotta go. Oh, it's just a heart for a man I would not let your man see that because every man is what he does is he think about well, how's that going? Man, that's this is gonna be a good night. I hope she picks her But he's sitting there dump like you want him to be eating popcorn because you like it. Are you kidding me? Watching a show like that. You're putting your place in a position. Oh, the lights are out and he's behind the closed doors It's commercial time and the girls would you like another soda and the guy goes? No, I'd like to keep my train of thought What's happening behind these closed doors TV is mind control The bible says put no vain things before thine eyes I'm trying to get better. I quit watching put football in the pro level I still watch college because that's just a bunch of innocent kids getting beat up for nothing, but The pros Those guys are so egotistical They're dances and you know, they're muscles and I seen them come and go I played football with 17 guys from high school junior college and division one football that went pro One I saw was was an elite athlete Cornerback. I just was with him the other day. He's a good man of god. I had a great conversation I believe the lord put us together But let me tell you me and him got no bodybuilder physiques And mine was better than his he went from the top of the food chain To a run of the mill house there This vanity is a delusion Your money is a delusion The average pro athlete goes broke within five years of his playing days. It's only for a minute What you do for people is for eternity when you invest into yourself And into the word of god and get in the ear for god this lasts for the rest of your life Can't just tap into it and turn it off and tap into it and turn it off. It won't work You got to honor god when he does something in your life Even the deliverance I I I messed up my deliverance I I I was delivered like a rocket ship But the devil was hiding in some areas I sat down with mike mike says, hey, you know, uh I was coming all the time, but i'm not the type of guy to get to know people and i'll preach her Hey, I'd like to just know you my name's rick. I love your teacher I just kind of go my way do my thing if we're meant to be together We'll be together and and god will put it together Otherwise, you know, I got what I got and god bless you and I'll be going and taking what you taught me and praise god for it But he puts out this from the he says hey a few you guys been coming a whole bunch I'd like to talk to you one on one. Maybe you could sit down and you could do some ministry I'd like to talk to you so we sit down And he gives me one of this evaluation sheet one that if I've seen you I give it to you as well And he gave it to me and I just looked at it and he went in the other room and I He ever raped anyone witchcraft like what's this we're talking about ministry about me getting up doing some ministry He comes back and he goes did you fill that thing out? I go you wanted me to fill this out Yeah, I did Well He goes he sits down to the water. Is there anything on there that jumps out at you? Is there anything wrong with you? Is there anything going on anything you need prayer for? No, man. I'm good You ever done any of these things you've ever been in trend? No, I'm good. It's all good He says well, uh Okay, then he looked at the clock. Let's okay. He's he's ready to move on now. Okay. Well, all right And he goes well, I'll use you up front. Let's let's go ahead and get this thing started. You come up Just I'll send you here there when I got someone going you just help them You know the drill just keep them going keep it coming out I'll ask you some questions. Maybe I'll give you some insight how to keep it going and I jump into it But there was some stuff still in there There was still some stuff in there and it was hiding I still love money I had money. You don't have to worry about loving money when you got money Half my money was gone, but I still got a lot of money. I was still good. I still got a nice house I still got stuff still got available cash. I still got investments that we're doing fine They were going up others went down some went up. I'm good And deep down I I always had this thing where hey, you don't need to like me But you need to respect me If I do something for you and you don't show any kind of appreciation boy, I'll ditch you faster and you know what? You better tell me. Thank you Lord can't work with that. We had to go to another level Because there's a lot of sick people that can't say thank you Their minds are so wrapped up in things. They they forget to say thank you. We can't work with that And this stuff was popping up and when it would pop up it would start assassinating me Bad like I had never dealt with this before who are you to think you're up there casting out devils? Who are you to get up there and think you're mike smith that guy's a savant man? He sits in his his house. I bet he doesn't have pictures on his walls I'll bet that house is white in the outside and the inside you ain't like this guy. He's some kind of jesus freak You're not you're a normal person It was start making sense like yeah He's he's different Yeah, that guy man. I could tell that bible study that he broke down that night that was That was a couple of hours worth of research. This was about 15 minutes I'll just go with what the holy ghost gave me last week in the jails. I'll say hey that one will preach We'll go with that, but he's investing hours It started to make sense And slowly he started chipping at it But god was so merciful. I would see a great deliverance God was so merciful that someone would go through a stumbling block and god would give me a word To show me that I had a part to help out that he was using me It wasn't all about one person or another person, but it was about us that came into agreement But I still wasn't grateful for it Until a few years in and I'm looking for an out I want to preach in ministry I want to I want to be able to get up on a pulpit and just Bark at some demons and they all fly out and I never got to get dirty down in those aisles and laying hands and counseling people And giving them my number and I need someone to come and wipe the sweat off my brow like those other preachers I mean you look you start looking for an out when things are hard When something's in you that demands someone appreciates what you do for them and you don't get that Then you're looking for an out because it was all about the way you wanted it The world isn't all about the way you wanted it Marriages don't always start or midway through the marriage always function the way you wanted it You got to press on to the goal is yeah, I do want a good good marriage. Yeah, I do want a fruitful ministry You got to reach and press on for it believing That god wants the same thing because he put that in your heart Because things that are of your will are going to die And they did They did hey, I've been I had to come to myself. I had to I said, hey man I've been preaching the the gospel of jesus christ and not taking authority and binding these devils. And you know what? I had a handful of disciples In a decade You can get a handful of disciples in one pod now Guys tracks all up all over their arms Hey, man, when you were calling out them demons something came up and out I was crying and I was coughing but all I know is when I was done I was free and I knew in my mind. I would never relapse before I went to rehab I always knew back there. There was a chance. I always knew when I got myself clean. I might one day He said, I know I'll never go back. You have to labor for those things. You got to believe for those things You got to expect no glory for yourself when those things happen Yet, you got to take joy in making another man rich and lulia so second karythians chapter 6 17 and 18 when he was calling to come out and be separated He's quoting that from the jews coming out of babelon in chapter 52 of isaiah and he says In verse 11, he says depart depart go out from there touch no unclean thing Go out from the midst of her be clean you who bear the vessels of the lord And you shall know not go out with haste nor by flight for the lord will go before you And the god of israel will be your rear guard. Oh, see the lord's got to protect your backside Because the enemy would try to sneak up and devour you But that verse tells you the enemy's not going to do that Because the lord's protecting your backside Your job is to be going forward He's got your back man. My friend's got jokes Over here we can laugh at simple things around here ron is the funniest guy No offense ron. You did get the number one My friends have done things my my best friends since i was 14 Has done business ventures with lebron james him and bernie cosar who won the national championship played 15 years for the cleveland browns are good friends Him and uh lebron james out in iverse all of these guys doing these things together He knows the maloof brothers parties and he's given the real world suite when he goes up there It's this thing where the real world on mtv was filmed and it's a it's a it's a suite in that casino And he's been there and done these things these are incredible stories The lord says come out from just something That was my buddy That was my buddy that if my daughter needed a hundred thousand dollar surgery he would have wrote the check That was my buddy that that uh if we're outnumbered Six to two he's swinging first because they disrespected me he was a true friend We had been through everything together we grew up together And then when you start to pardon The devil always tricks him to take an offense Oh, they think here rick thinks he's better than you You know rick thinks you need deliverance and you just got a bunch of demons in you he'll trick him My one friend we've been best friends since high school We've been through everything and the devil tricked him that i'd betrayed him at a high school reunion When his wife was saying good things to all these girls that rick is a as a counselor He helps people he he's reconciled marriages. He's a real change man. He doesn't do these things He's the real deal and I felt like a million bucks all these girls that thought I was a loser were pat me on my back Looking at me like wow. We can't believe you're a man of god. I'm saved too I was sharing with one buddy this one guy. He never liked me Oh, I grew up with him since we were first grade. He never liked me and i'm telling my story His wife is weeping I would have never said nothing bad about my buddy And he thinks the devil tricked him. Hey, you were talking bad about me to those people That was one of the highlights of my year. I was going through a disfunk failed business in 2008 That reunion was great. I wasn't in the salty mood to be Tearing someone else down, but the devil tricked him It's sad It's sad. Hey, I I used to help him. He'd be at the casino and uh I'd come get him. I mean I was fine with that him calling me at two in the morning We were friends. Hey, I was willing to do something for him. I liked the guy. I felt bad anything I ever did to him I had remorse. I felt like had to go to bumping beyond the friendship. They're all cut. There's nothing They don't I don't have their phone number. I tried to call them once or twice three four times. They nothing It's over. It There's a little bit of oh, that's that's that's a bummer But I got a press on And I got some new friends I got some new friends. They don't have as good as jokes, but they got my back Hey, I get in a jam. I best believe ronald pray for me I best believe I say hey ron. Keep me in prayer. I best believe he's not forgetting about me I bet if I needed any wisdom, I got friends that can tell me biblically what's going on. What direction Uh, can have eyes to see there. There's a value to what god has given me in exchange for those things That we're pulling back to my old nature It's a cost to come out from these people. Sometimes it's even your own family your own children now Lord's gonna take care of your backside. He's gonna go before you There's no temptation that's gonna crush you It's sad every time I I put backslid in any way shape or form knowing about deliverance I can look back on the moment when I made the decision to do it anyway I'd never bounced into sin. How'd I get here? I know exactly I was mad. I had to tell him the way I felt. I felt I had to expose what was done to me I I did whatever and I was at the crossroads always If you're not at the crossroads when you sin Then that devil has deceived you if you can't understand right from wrong We need to drive those spirits you need to you need to rely on someone else's anointing to get those spirits out of your Brain those are some form of mental illness every christian should have the liberty to understand Which way you're going and not be confused That's the freedom of jesus christ I got I got a friend. He's a good friend. I've been friends with him met him at jail Sometimes he doesn't like to hear it But I say hey look that behavior smoking that weed I'll tell you what every time I seen you fall Every time I saw you fall It started right there So that's where we got to stop it It doesn't seem near as bad as on down the road But it's always the beginning point You got to stop this devil at the beginning point No one ever Gets drunk until he takes One beer till he goes to circle k and buys one bottle No one slips into smoking bud unless they score some weed No one ever slips into adultery until you got lust in your eyes and you're drawing someone to you No one slips into greediness unless you're not content with what you have No one slips into depression unless you let the devil suck your joy out You got to catch him right there at the base 2nd Corinthians 12 3 For such one I will boast Yet not of myself I will not boast except in my infirmities For though I might desire to boast I will not be a fool. I will not I will speak the truth But if I refrain at least anyone should think Of me above what he sees In me or hears me to be And at least I do not be exalted above measure By the abundance of the revelations a thorn in my flesh was given to me A messenger of satan to buffet me at least I'd be exalted above measure I'll make you scratch your head It was sent and Paul's praying three times That the Lord would take this thing away And the Lord says back to him my grace is sufficient for you my strength is made perfect in your weakness He's telling you I got you If the devil tries to put something in you I'm gonna make him pay by giving you more He thinks he can hold you back that thorns in your flesh Watch the revival you're about to go to Yeah Watch the authority I'm about to give you over those demons and principalities that are running that synagogue All the details everything that's happened in Jesus ministry They said they couldn't contain it within the books or it would be too big the all the things that were contained in Paul's ministry Oh, he had a long ministry Jesus is with three and a half years Some of those revivals and miracles and healings of leper colonies and people being raised from the dead I guarantee you they were off the hook God was saying I got you don't worry about that devil what he's doing to you You keep pressing on to this upward call and I'm gonna go before you and I'm gonna go behind you anything that's in you My grace is sufficient. I'm gonna sustain you for what I've called you to do. He's not taking you out He's not holding you back. If you think he's holding you back, you'll be right here and go nowhere You'll leave you won't leave the sick bed, but he pressed on And he got delivered from that thing That thing is not recorded to through all Ephesians and Galatians and All the books of romans and he wrote it's not recorded in there He was able to overcome Because he wouldn't hold back. I guarantee you there's some things that don't get fixed tonight There's some marriages that aren't reconciled when you come home no matter what wonderful touch of God You get from here. You don't go home to loving arms of your spouse and it's just an embrace like the newly Like you're just married again Some things are going to take some time You're fighting mental illness spirits Well, let me tell you you can get up enough out of this place tonight where you can start taking every thought captive Where he doesn't run your mind But we're going to have to keep chiseling these things away because these spirits We're not given to you and one day you pick them up over a lifetime God's going to wrap it up and it's going to be way faster than the time period it took you to pick them up But it's going to take some time But nevertheless, you can do good to people. You can be kind to people I have inmates all the time bring tears to my eyes By being kind By being caring I was taking one to the bus stop the other the other week and he wants to call this other inmate and there's other Well, no, that's another guy and those guys used to fight so bad. I used to have to break him up once It was a big dispute police got called and now he's going full of this joy and he goes Hey, can I borrow your phone? I got a call so and so I got to tell him I'm going back home. I'm like, dude He don't want to hear you. You're going home for two days, dude. Just save it. He's a grown man. He's good I want to call him And he got on the phone like hey, I just won't let you know man. I'm gonna keep you in prayer Keep me in prayer, man. Stay strong brother I thought wow, man, this is some brotherly love. He he taught he tapped into some jesus This is some jesus stuff my carnal man. We just got done sweeping out a job site My face was all full of dust and asbestos and everything else. I'm just looking to go home and take a shower He's concerned about somebody else He's concerned about getting a team of prayer warriors. So he don't fall into the same traps He fell into time and time again There's one of the most powerful prayers Kelly's got the most powerful prayer prayed for me. I kept it on my recording and pray Played it whenever I was down and unfortunately one day I hit seven and erased it instead of star to save I kept it for a long time. But the second most powerful prayer that was ever prayed for was with this guy that Came here for deliverance. It had massive amounts of demons very slow deliverance. It wasn't like a rocket It was slow and steady and up and down and he prayed this prayer for me I was at a chipotle. I ate that burrito with another kind of smile People probably thought I was crazy. I received that prayer I knew that was from somebody who really loved me that really had something of god in him And it came right out of him onto me When you're ministering to people with what i'm trying to explain to you in closing is they minister back to you There's an investment into people and you get to be a recipient back sometimes The guy that led me to jesus. I led him to this place when I learned about deliverance He was the most miserable guy. I knew you had to brace yourself before you pressed that last digit of his phone number Because you knew something rough was coming through that phone Guaranteed now every time And hey, he led me to the lord He got my first deliverance by praying for me one time and then I helped I Brought him here when I learned about deliverance and hey, there's there's a there's a give and take here A lot of times at first it's a lot of given But I promise you'll get something back when you need it So that god lets you know what you're doing is not in vain. It's not some random thing But it's an ordained thing of god for his glory And that god will use the body of christ to help you out Hey, I don't know if you remember sister vivian But uh She was bold. Let's just say it that way and she could preach She she'd get up here and preach sometimes. I'm like, I gotta follow that. She just do the introduction And uh She's the exact opposite of my wife My wife is very calm cool collective If you've got anything insulted to say to her She's gonna think about it for a while and once it completely downloads because she'll think about everything Then she'll look at you and give you a response And viviana just go if it's the truth, she'll let it be known and she'll go Well, she'd call me every once in a while and let me have it Bro, what are you doing with your life? You got an anointing on your life You should be down here preaching. What will you matter of fact? What were you Friday? What were you doing? Like who is this crazy chick? Who are you to be calling me? Far as I know the head of this ministry is michael w smith. There ain't two But what she was saying was the truth And she cared about somebody not doing what they were called to do And the lord said, you know what i'm gonna do I'm gonna speak to you In a way you don't like to hear it because it's going to be said something you don't even want to hear How you like this and it I couldn't say no to anything she said I would end Wrestling mad want to tell her hey, you know, won't you email me? Don't call me and at the end I'd go Okay, thanks for calling Because she was telling me the truth Sometimes We got to hear it rough It's unfortunate It can't all be cookies and cream And I guarantee your deliverance There ain't no sweet talk to these spirits There's no sweet talking them These things are relentless in what they do They don't stop They don't quit they don't get tired. They don't get discouraged They don't get distracted And what people don't understand Is when the demons come out The bible says they're going to these dry places, but they keep coming back To take a look if there's any open doors Cain's about to be taken over with demons and god has to come down and have a conversation with them And he says look if you do well you'll be accepted if you do not do well Know this that sin is crouching at your door and its desire is to have you To make you a murderer and bash your own brother's brains out with a rock These things are vicious When you start getting deliverance You keep that door shut And you don't open that door because you ain't like the next guy that's got to go down to the bar And have too many drinks and then get a little habit of bringing back some alcohol And then stumble into drinking every day No, you go from being sober for a year to opening the door and bam being a dead drunk again You got to keep the door shut This is a fight And they all subtly knock on your doors. They'll knock on your door like a friend. Just oh this one drink. Hey, how you doing? Uh, oh, hey, just a little flirt with a with a with some lady I get out of dodge I don't I don't I know them lust demons. I used to have lust demons I was talking to some lady the other day. She was some college lady recruiter and all of a sudden I That was kind of a I said, oh, that was kind of that side smile kind of oh, that's a I got a couple. I said, okay. Boom. I was out I don't sure this flesh is deceitfully wicked It starts liking figures and faces and and sing you a song. I don't want to hear no song or what could be How it would just go down. I don't want to play that I get out of there because I know what they're like They're trying to bash my door and then bash my brains out They hate my guts Going into these sex offender units casting out some monster demon from some guy who raped his child for 17 years Who was raped himself some transvestite hooker getting delivered who was a prostitute for 17 years had thousands of Tricks under his belt and crazy You go war even war against those devils. They're gonna wage a war against you I don't think you heard me. This is a fight. Well, I just like to go to church and first we start out We sing four songs to jesus and by the third one I'm really clapping and and we got the praise dancers with flags and my preacher's a really good preacher You know, he really knows the word and he's really a man of god His dad was a preacher and and this is really where I like him We got a home fellowship group on thursdays and we get together We really love each other and we break bread together and afterwards we have soda pop and ice cream sometimes Look, you better wake up and smell the roses that Christianity is a fight And you got a war and that devil to use any person as a vessel against you And you better be on guard to make sure that they're not a plan And you better know when to get up out of there and get going And if you've failed a thousand times and you're here You're in a perfect place You're in a perfect place. You're here. This is a perfect place He's giving you another chance to stop doing what you were doing We can stop right now if you couldn't stop you wouldn't have been here This is proof you can stop you sat and through this whole message. This is proof God led you here. This is proof that he wants to help you The fact that you amand it shook your head In an acknowledgement of anything I said that that means it can happen right now It can happen right now. God's not a respecter of persons I've seen him restore people that Just habitual backsliders that you can't believe it was unbelievable Things they had done there's people come in here. They were preachers at one time Ministers Doesn't matter how bad it's been We deal with right now. We got a chance And it's a chance to get free. It's a chance to walk With a new perspective and a new level of freedom with a new level of reverence with a new level Of warring to keep those doors shut In god just like carina said she set it up perfect God holds his word Above his name if he said that he would deliver us And he would go before us And that he would watch our backside then we got to have zero fear We we can't fear a devil that was already defeated Jesus faced every temptation and defeated him He died in our place goes down to hell and then he disarms those demons in hell All power and victory is given to him and he sends the holy spirit from the right hand of the father to empower us Over them. So we now switch the position and we tread over them. He no longer stomps on us. We stomp on him And it's by faith It's by faith Faith in his word and in his promises it's faith in the gospel of jesus christ It's the faith that he loves us and that he wants to help us I know you prayed some prayers time and time again, but let me tell you Maybe it was an investment for you to just to be here right now and to get what you want right now Don't be discouraged and say lord, you were too long. You took too long. Hey, maybe he was just teaching you patience Maybe he was just teaching you a perspective of the whole thing So you wouldn't backslide so you wouldn't repeat the same cycle, but you could move forward from this day on But we can trust him And it always comes down before we pray into the two holds If you will not repent It's not going to work There's no gospel without repentance You have the makeup in your mind. I'm going home and I'm ditching That adulterous relationship. I'm ditching that porn Subscription I'm ditching the drugs. I'm ditching the alcohol. I'm ditching my buddies that we just chased things of the world I'm ditching it make it up in your mind. I'm turning With repentance all the promises of God are available and the second one is forgiveness Forgiveness is in your mind. I prayed in my mind to forgive people But in my heart Man, you get too close. Those dudes could have caught some anger and some vengeance But I was a good christian and I was a trained christian so I could parrot A parrot really can't speak He's just mimicking what he heard. He's just repetitiously barking out What what what words were taught to him? He doesn't understand conversation. He understands repeating I was just parroting because it was the right thing that I forgive them. I forgive him lord I wasn't my heart was dude. You owe me and I'll smack your face That's what was in here You have to release what is in your heart This is not of god This was given to me by the enemy through a bad and tragic situation through years of torment and abuse This is in me and I got to give that to god and how I give that to god is doing what god told me to do That's what he told me to do. I don't need to question why or how he told me to give it to him Cash your cares upon me for I care for you These cares and hurts I pass on I forgive them. I turn them over to you lord because without you in their life. They'll end up going to hell But with you they can be saved. I can't bank on anybody else praying for them I can't bank on them changing lord. I'm praying you'll change them so they don't do what they did to me to somebody else I care what happened. I'm praying for them. I know my battle is not with people But it's with demons and principalities and powers and these forces of evil and wickedness in high places I don't want to deal with demons anymore. I'm turning it over. They don't deserve it. I'm turning them over to you And that includes yourself That includes yourself When I was playing football all summer long the countdown two months before two a day party on One week before two days party on Two days before two of days part. We knew we could not take that junk into two days There was no way on god's green earth You could go to practice for two hours a day Sweating having three homicidal maniac coaches screaming their guts up at you from morning to night You could not come in as a drunk and an alcoholic. You had to leave it behind It's the countdown's already been on to let these demons in this past stuff go You've already been dealing with it for years It's it's it can't go on into this new life It can't go on your negative thought disorder you forever going to sermons forever learning and never coming into the knowledge of truth Oh, well, that really was a word. Wow. That was refreshing. That was a man a word That was a rama word dude. You need to do what you're hearing Or you're going to deception today's the day you can't bring that old life in to this new life with christ It won't work. There's zero chances of it working If it worked it would only be seasonal then you go right back to the same old you in the lowest point Going to have to come back up out of that Release yourself People hurt people so bad. It's by the grace of god. It's never happened to me I mean I've people lost children wives have taken the kids Moved out of state lost them. I know a guy lost his kid for 18 years When he finally got a hold of him the kid wasn't interested in him and then two years later the kid died of a heroin overdose I've seen the most terrible things I'm not trying to minimize what has happened to you, but I know that god can heal you and help you right now But you've got to let it go You got to let it go You've got to let it go. You got to trust him We can't fix the past, but we can fix the future The devil can control the future if you don't let go of the past. It's a fact Let's pray right now Heavenly father, I thank you for everybody watching online Blessings to them Thank you for sending all these people lord down here to the arizona deliverance center Thank you, jesus Lord, we come before you lord and we we come on no righteousness of our own zero lord zero You let us to this place You equipped us for a time such as now Lord jesus, we ask is to come We just want to humble ourselves before you lord In humility lord, I tell you that i'm sorry I want to start with all the people that I hurt I want to start with all the people that I let down I want us I want to just tell you i'm sorry lord Those were your sons and daughters lord It was my way or the highway and i'm sorry.

I apologize lord god Starts with me lord And I receive your forgiveness I believe you truly want to forgive me to pardon me from my sins to release me from my trespasses That your word declares that you'll take my sin and throw it into the sea of forgetfulness Where you counted against me no more and I say hallelujah to that Thank you that I don't have to walk with my guilt and my shame anymore I don't have to walk with these regrets. I have a choice Today I choose to press on to the upward call to reach forward To what lies ahead And lord, I want to Forgive from my heart lord not to parrot a prayer, but from my heart I want to forgive myself I know of the things I've wrecked and lost Many I'll never get back, but today I forgive myself I release myself From the failures and the regrets the sorrow and the pain Lord, I forgive my family now I've been hurt real bad when the ones I love the most treated me the worst I want to forgive my mom and dad and for their deficiencies For the lack of knowledge For the lack of instruction and raising me I'm sorry for blaming them Knowing that it is true.
