 I want us to shift from a slave to a soldier. We shift from a slave to a soldier. When Israel was in Egypt, they were slaves. Therefore, they didn't fight. In Egypt, Moses fought. Moses came with plagues and he crushed the power of Pharaoh. And God delivered them. So with that kind of a mindset, they expected that God will also give them promised land. Where they will go to promised land and God will squash all the enemies on their way. And God didn't do that. The promised land, they had to no longer be slaves in their mind. They had to be soldiers in their mind in the promised land. In the beginning of your walk with God, you're a slave. Meaning you need a prayer line. You need someone to come in and knock that thing out. And when that thing gets knocked out of your life, you feel a sense of relief. But rarely, listen up. Rarely will you experience complete freedom. Just from that. You will still have Philistines, Jebusites, Marisites and all other sites. That will still kind of linger there. And there you don't need just Moses. You need to mature to become a soldier. A soldier. Means you don't wait for God to send a plague. God is waiting on you to send you. God wants to kill the slavery mindset. Wilderness is a time where slavery mindset dies. Unfortunately some of us are married to that mindset. So we die with it. And we never enter into a season, into a part of our life where we fight. We always need a Moses. And the reason why is because of a slavery mindset. God wants to bring a mindset in you of a soldier. Slave mindset says God deliver me. A soldier mindset says God you are with me. And I'm gonna fight. A slavery mindset says Father you didn't give me a code to go rejoice with my friends. And God says I thought you grew up already. I thought you heard that I divided the possessions between him and you. That's your stuff. I gave it to you. I can't give you more than what I gave you. Go and get your own code. Meaning I gave you that victory. I got you out of the main big problems. And not only I gave you small freedom. I gave you big authority. Act on it. Flight with it. Don't wait until the preacher will come. But I remember I would even pray for some time for people. And they experience freedom the next day they come back. Special at the conference they say pastor. But I still have this little bitty little bitty thing. I was like how big is it? Size of a spider or an elephant. Size of a mosquito. I was like squash it. But I want you to squash it. I'm going to tell you why God doesn't deliver us in prayer lines. And deliverance services completely. I'm going to give you this verse. Look at this verse. From judges. In this verse God said why he leaves us out. He says that I leave certain enemies for this reason. That I will test you. Whether you're going to obey God. And I will teach you. To fight. To two reasons. Anytime you wonder why the Lord didn't deliver me completely. Why he gave me just the main deliverance. I want you to remember this. Test somebody say test. So it means God is testing. When you are still struggling with that. Will you choose to obey me? Because it's not hard to obey God. When nothing is pulling for your attention. Test and then secondly he says I will teach you. Somebody say teach. Not patience or fighting. God doesn't want to teach me to struggle. He wants me to teach me to fight. God doesn't want to teach me to strive. He wants to teach me to fight. He says I will teach you to fight. God allows certain things to linger in your life. To build within you a mechanism of a warrior. Because even when you overcome that issue. You will still have many other battles to fight. That will not relate to you. It will relate to your destiny. And destinies of other people. And you will need the skills to be a fighter. Jesus wept but he never complained. Jesus wasn't a whiner. Jesus was a warrior. God isn't interested in just delivering you from slavery. He wants to form within you a soldier. And to do that sometimes certain things are left on purpose. God leaves those little mosquitoes. And there's those little spiders. So you will exercise your dominion. But you keep saying Lord but you do that. And God says I gave you that power. I want to help those people here who maybe feel like. But the addiction that I have. The struggle that I have is so much stronger than I. I want you to remember this. Bob Larson is the one who told me this. He said this. He said the part of your life Satan doesn't have. Is always stronger than the part of your life he does occupy. And the story. He used the story that really kind of helped me. He says the guy who had thousands of demons. He was running naked. He was running naked. He was already mental. He lived on a graveyard. He was chained up and broke every chain. Yet there was still small percent that the devil couldn't take him. Running naked. Living on a graveyard. But there's one thing Satan couldn't take. He couldn't take his ability to run to Jesus. Imagine naked. Out of his mind. Still the Bible says when he saw Jesus. He ran. He didn't walk. He didn't jog. He didn't drag. He ran to Jesus. And he worshiped Jesus. And the demons started manifesting. See when you start using the part of your life that is still free. And push it to the maximum. You will find yourself at the feet of the Messiah. Delivering you. From those parts you have no control over. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The part you have freedom over. Use that. Maximize that. Push that through. If a mental guy. Naked on a graveyard. Could still find a flickering light inside of him. To say yes I'm naked. Yes I'm crazy. But I'm going to run to Jesus. And I will kneel before him. And the demons took over. And they were free. Amen. Because we know two things. Demons never bring people to Jesus. And demons don't worship Jesus. Why did demons fall from heaven? Because they didn't want to worship him. They were wrong God. That's why many times when it's your day of deliverance. You start feeling sick in your stomach. And you quickly run to the toilet. Or you quickly you need to go home. You feel that rush. Every time demons never bring people to the prayer line. They try to cause people not to come to the prayer line. So the fact that we know the devil didn't bring him to Jesus. He is somewhere inside. Found this small one percent. To say but I'm going to fight. I'm going to drag that naked out of crazy. Out of my mind body. That's the fear of Jesus. And that's where his freedom came. Don't give too much power to the devil. Even if he got 99% of you. That one percent is more stronger than the 99 he has. Devil is no match. To the power of a human will. Because we were made in the image and likeness of God. God will never and ever let the devil take 100% of you. Because somebody say amen. If you're addicted to drugs. If you're addicted to alcohol. If you're addicted to pornography. If you're addicted to gambling. If you're addicted to gambling. And you may feel like but I keep falling. I keep tripping. And I just don't have any power. No you don't have all the power. But listen do not discriminate yourself. Don't let the devil lie to you. That you can't change. No you can't. But with the power of God. When you use the little bit of that you have. God will say I will step in. I will help you. And I will get rid of those demons. I will give you my gun. Just holding it and thinking. Just finishing here, Luis, and hurting them more. My name is Luis Kitos. At age of 14 I was introduced into marijuana. Making money at that age it was easy for me to buy it. At age of 16. Having all the friends with their own place. It was really easy to get away from adult supervision. It was really easy to get away from adult supervision. That's when it started becoming a daily habit. In the beginning I would use it to be cool. To fit in, feel older. Not knowing that slowly started affecting my health. losing a lot of weight. I started affecting my education not graduating on time. My friends that they don't want to be a part of it started fading away. My finances started dropping, started hurting my family emotionally once they found out what I was getting into. I started really getting depressed. I remember starting getting so bad that suicidal thoughts started coming to my head. I remember going into my my dad's room and grabbing his gun, just holding it and thinking just finish it here, Luis, and hurt no more. Now I'm wanting to put my family in that situation of a lost family member again. It would stop me from making a dumb decision about the suicidal thoughts in it. August 2013 I had enough and I remember praying every night. Forgot to help me to take my life and I couldn't do it on my own. A month later I went to the gym and I met a young man named David. He introduced himself and we just started talking about a general conversation. Then I don't know where he started telling me his testimony of how God changes life, how he was set from drugs, and he was completely changed. Him being a complete stranger to me, I mean I believe everything he said. A lot of the things, a lot of his problems that he had gone through in his past I was going through at that moment. After that we just shook hands, took each other's names and went on separate ways. Ever since that day I started applying those little things that he shared with me into my life and I started noticing little changes in my life. What he did was he brought a whole bag into my life. He planted his soda seed into my heart. Two months later I saw him again at the gym and something inside me told me, go up to him and thank him for that day or what he told you. So I went up to him and I was like, hey my name is Luis, I don't know if you remember me, but we met about two months ago and he shared your story with me, opened your heart out to me and you know I just want to say thanks because it has helped me out a lot. He's like wow it's crazy how you think something so small can help out someone so much. I'm like yeah most definitely I just want to say thanks. He's like look let me get your number you know if you want to come to my church and learn more about what has helped me change or just hang out you know give me your number. He invited me to church and after a couple of invitations I came to Wednesday service. That first night I came to Wednesday service you know I saw things, heard things, felt things I never did before. At the end of the service pastor letter me asked if there was anyone that wanted to give their life to do God and quickly I raised my hand because I knew for a few months very that that's something I needed to do and that was the night that I got saved. Never since that day you know I started noticing more more positive changes into my life. I started growing with God reading the Bible blessing started coming to my life. The biggest change was my addiction to marijuana. From the day that I met David at the gym until like December you know I went strong without it but I still had cravings in my head. I still had those thoughts coming into my head until I slipped back into it being around that association and I told my pastor if he could pray for me in that specific area and ever since March 26, 2014 was the last time I used marijuana and other drugs. A month late on April 20th was the day I got baptized and ever since then I just been growing with God reading the Bible, attending a home group. Now I lead my own home group and just been helping other people who are in my situation know that there's a better way that there's a better life using drugs, partying and alcohol. Now I know my purpose in life. Now I wake up every morning excited looking forward for my future because I know where I'm headed. I know the people I'm surrounded by. I receive so many blessings and this is just the beginning and the best is yet to come.
