what he wants to do in your life that is 00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:08.160 the purpose of the word of God 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.240 what's the ground of your heart like 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:11.840 because remember the word of God has to 00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:13.360 be planted in your heart that's the good 00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.680 soil but what's the state of your heart 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.199 that's the question and that is the 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.680 eternal question actually no matter what 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.360 we face in life no matter the 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.759 experiences no matter the lessons no 00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.919 matter what comes our way on this 00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:28.440 journey through life we have a great 00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:31.440 responsibility every single day and that 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:34.720 is what do we do with our heart yes 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.360 because we do have that decision in our 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.840 hands it's in our hands and that is 00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:42.000 actually the greatest battle how to 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.160 control our heart how to control our 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.360 spirit how to submit our spirit to the 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.000 control of God's spirit and yes we do 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.759 have a role to play it's not just all up 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.440 to God certainly it's not all up to you 00:06:55.440 --> 00:06:58.160 it takes God's divine ability but your 00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.800 own genuine 00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.880 willingness are you willing 00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:05.039 are you willing to meet Jesus are you 00:07:05.039 --> 00:07:06.720 willing to change from where you are now 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.960 to where God wants you to be are you 00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:10.720 willing to change from how you are now 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.000 to how God wants you to be it's not a 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.639 change in the substance of the soul but 00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.599 it's a change of the quality of the soul 00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:20.880 we're going to break that down for you 00:07:20.880 --> 00:07:22.479 today because it's all about the battle 00:07:22.479 --> 00:07:25.080 of the ages there is a 00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:28.560 battle not a physical battle but it's a 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.880 spiritual battle and it's real and it 00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:34.720 exists and you have a part to play so 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:36.639 first of all we want to take you

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:04.000 do not wrestle against flesh and blood 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.160 but against principalities against 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.479 powers against the rulers of the 00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:10.960 darkness of this age against spiritual 00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:13.560 hosts of wickedness in the heavenly 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.720 places therefore take up the whole armor 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.120 of God that you may be able to withstand 00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:22.080 in the evil day and having done all to 00:08:22.080 --> 00:08:24.479 stand 00:08:24.479 -->

remember Paul before mhm before 00:09:19.920 --> 00:09:22.959 he encountered Jesus he was one of the 00:09:22.959 --> 00:09:25.360 greatest enemy of the gospel 00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.080 he was fighting Christian persecuting 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.320 them in a terrible way and the 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.560 scriptures say the zeal he had in 00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:34.959 persecuting Christian led him to go to 00:09:34.959 --> 00:09:36.880 foreign countries 00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:40.240 to pursue them to force them to blasphe 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:44.480 fighting Jesus but he realized later 00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.279 that he was not fighting human beings he 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.839 was fighting Jesus 00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:52.160 so if somebody's fighting you as a child 00:09:52.160 --> 00:09:55.600 of God indirectly he's fighting Jesus 00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.279 the battle is the Lord's when Jesus met 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.839 him say Saul Saul why are you 00:10:02.839 --> 00:10:05.680 persecuting me 00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:07.279 he never say why are you persecuting my 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.240 children believers why are you 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:13.519 persecuting me m 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:17.360 so the battle as we've said is not your 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.519 battle it is Jesus 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:24.320 battle when we understand this oh my god 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.640 you will have peace 00:10:26.640 --> 00:10:29.600 the enemy want you to shift the battle 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.360 to you to your shoulders to your power 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.519 and might the enemy wants you to believe 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:37.079 that you are 00:10:37.079 --> 00:10:39.600 alone he want you to take you to the 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.920 natural field That's where he's very 00:10:42.920 --> 00:10:45.920 good he want you to focus on the 00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:49.680 situation at hand to focus on those who 00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:53.200 harm you to those who provoke you so you 00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:54.760 can focus on the 00:10:54.760 --> 00:10:57.440 natural and I remember the teachings of 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.800 prophet Joshua says the believer has no 00:11:00.800 --> 00:11:04.480 strength as long as he operates in the 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:08.440 natural it's true i repeat the 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:12.640 believer has no strength as long as he 00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:15.760 operates in the natural how do you 00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:18.480 operate in the natural we operate in the 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:23.040 natural when we rely on our senses 00:11:23.040 --> 00:11:25.760 the greatest battle you and I we all of 00:11:25.760 --> 00:11:28.839 us have today is with our 00:11:28.839 --> 00:11:32.079 senses because the scripture says the 00:11:32.079 --> 00:11:34.200 moment you accept Jesus as your Lord and 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.680 Savior the moment you are born again you 00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:39.440 find yourself living in the world 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:42.160 dominated by 00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:46.200 Satan that's why we say we are in the 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:51.040 world we are not a part of it that means 00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:53.040 we should not allow the world and its 00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:55.839 values to live in our heart what do you 00:11:55.839 --> 00:11:58.079 mean by values you don't you don't fight 00:11:58.079 --> 00:12:00.640 with the weapons of the world 00:12:00.640 --> 00:12:02.320 you don't fight with the same weapon 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.720 they use against 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:09.399 you jesus fights the battle in 00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.480 righteousness but Satan uses 00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.959 unrighteousness to fight you 00:12:15.959 --> 00:12:17.480 lies 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:20.920 persecution negative situation 00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:23.760 injustice to weigh you down to oppress 00:12:23.760 --> 00:12:29.120 you his purpose is to break our 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:32.560 confidence in God his purpose is to make 00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:35.200 you feel isolated i don't know whether 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.200 you have watched lions when they're 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.079 hunting they observe a 00:12:41.079 --> 00:12:43.920 flock and they put their focus on the 00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:47.200 weakest one or one who is isolated from 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:48.880 the her so you can attack him and 00:12:48.880 --> 00:12:50.880 separate him and attack him that's what 00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:52.720 the devil does 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.560 he wants you to focus on your weakness 00:12:56.560 --> 00:12:58.880 he wants you to focus on the situation 00:12:58.880 --> 00:13:02.320 at hand he wants you to focus on how you 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.959 are treated by people 00:13:04.959 --> 00:13:06.120 he 00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:07.639 look 00:13:07.639 -->

00:13:15.760 --> 00:13:18.959 weakness or strength it has to do with 00:13:18.959 --> 00:13:22.160 what Jesus Christ has done for you at 00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:25.639 the cross of Calvary i

your 00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:44.160 physical strength strength has nothing 00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:46.880 to do with your weakness as well it has 00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:50.480 to do with what God Jesus Christ has 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.320 done for you at the cross of 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.880 Calvary we have mentioned Saul saul was 00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:00.160 a persecutor but he never knew that in 00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:04.079 the plan of God God has predestined him 00:14:04.079 --> 00:14:06.120 to be a servant of 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.680 Christ god has predestined him to serve 00:14:09.680 --> 00:14:12.639 Jesus how do we serve Jesus by preaching 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.360 the gospel how can enemy become friend 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.279 that's the question I'm asking you i'm 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:18.279 telling you the 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.000 truth if you focus on 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.079 Jesus one day your enemy will become 00:14:24.079 -->

time 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.880 we look at human being as our 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.039 enemies 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.600 but the moment you identify devil as a 00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:26.640 real enemy he's defeated immediately 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.679 he's exposed and the moment you identify 00:18:29.679 --> 00:18:32.480 the real battle the field of battle is 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:35.039 in the spirit that's when you realize 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.280 that it's not a natural one you remember 00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:39.200 the battle between David and Goliath yes 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:42.240 yes in 1 Samuel chapter 17 when you 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.559 start reading from verse 39 when the 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.840 king gave him his armory what did he say 00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:49.679 he said I'm not used to this i'm not I 00:18:49.679 --> 00:18:51.679 can't walk in this i can you see I'm not 00:18:51.679 --> 00:18:55.360 used to this this is weapons of man he 00:18:55.360 --> 00:18:57.000 saw that 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.360 Goliath was not the actual enemy there 00:18:59.360 --> 00:19:01.000 was an enemy bigger than Goliath behind 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.760 it that spirit of devil that is behind 00:19:03.760 --> 00:19:06.240 him to make but be afraid 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.720 david was a small boy compared to that 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:10.320 giant you could have crushed him in one 00:19:10.320 --> 00:19:13.679 blow but David said "You come to me with 00:19:13.679 --> 00:19:16.880 the weapons of man spear javelin but I 00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:18.960 come to you in the name of the Lord of 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.000 Israel whom you have defied and how what 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:23.600 did he say?" He proclaimed the word of 00:19:23.600 --> 00:19:28.080 faith he spoke the word of faith he said 00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:31.280 "Today I will cut your head today I will 00:19:31.280 --> 00:19:33.039 offer the carcasses of the Philistine to 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.559 the birds of the air." That's what he 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.160 said because he knew it wasn't about the 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:37.679 greatness of the giant but the greatness 00:19:37.679 --> 00:19:38.919 of God 00:19:38.919 --> 00:19:41.919 absolutely now everything he said came 00:19:41.919 --> 00:19:44.280 to pass but today when you are this 00:19:44.280 --> 00:19:46.440 focus and fear 00:19:46.440 -->

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:02.799 devil want to bring fear m that's why 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:05.039 today you can be a Christian saved a 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:08.120 child of God but many are murmuring 00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:12.320 today many are walking heads down as if 00:20:12.320 --> 00:20:14.559 God has abandoned them where is my faith 00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:17.919 where is this you fail to understand 00:20:17.919 --> 00:20:21.440 that the source of the victory is deep 00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.240 deep deep inside of you it's true 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:25.679 because many people like you said 00:20:25.679 --> 00:20:27.480 they're still in the senses ruled by the 00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:31.280 senses carnally so what's the difference 00:20:31.280 --> 00:20:33.600 between them and and everyone else there 00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:36.000 needs to be a difference our weapons of 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:39.600 war are not carnal they're not physical 00:20:39.600 --> 00:20:41.280 they're spiritual there needs to be a 00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:44.159 difference if truly we are children of 00:20:44.159 --> 00:20:46.400 God there should be a difference in the 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:48.320 way we see life in the way we behave in 00:20:48.320 --> 00:20:49.679 the way we look at things in the way we 00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:52.159 react to situations in the battle that 00:20:52.159 --> 00:20:54.320 we face and the greatest battle is where 00:20:54.320 --> 00:20:57.360 on our knees yes in prayer i'm coming to 00:20:57.360 --> 00:21:00.159 that why in prayer because your enemy 00:21:00.159 --> 00:21:04.480 has strategy and tactics m every army 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:06.720 when they're fighting they want to send 00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:10.320 spies why to try to know the strategy 00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:13.840 and tactics of the adversary what is the 00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:16.960 strategy of Satan what is his aim to 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:20.000 cause you to see God in the bad light to 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.400 say God does not exist to reject faith 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:23.960 and go back to the world that's what he 00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:26.880 want what are his tactics that's the 00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.919 instrument he used name calling insult 00:21:29.919 --> 00:21:32.240 situation terrible situation to cause 00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.400 you to doubt the goodness of God and 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:36.720 these things are in the natural not in 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.880 the 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:42.400 spirit so the Bible says we walk by 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:45.520 faith not by sight that is the question 00:21:45.520 --> 00:21:47.440 this is the battle we face the greatest 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.400 battle we face as long as we live is 00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:53.120 with our senses 00:21:53.120 --> 00:21:56.080 these are the eyes of my body right 00:21:56.080 --> 00:21:57.480 they see 00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.880 impossibilities trouble digger they 00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:03.520 cannot see beyond the facts when this 00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:06.880 eyes are open and your faith is down you 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:09.200 are born to be overwhelmed by the size 00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:11.000 of your circumstance 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.600 situation 00:22:12.600 --> 00:22:16.080 now what is our strategy and tactics god 00:22:16.080 --> 00:22:18.360 has given you and I 00:22:18.360 --> 00:22:22.799 strategy tactics that will never fail 00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.400 never never never never fail if the aim 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:28.159 of my enemy is to disconnect me from 00:22:28.159 --> 00:22:31.039 Jesus me and my soul should come from 00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:35.039 Jesus it's true 00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:37.280 rather than running away from Jesus I 00:22:37.280 --> 00:22:39.440 run to Jesus it's true we shouldn't make 00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:42.320 it easy for the devil we shouldn't tempt 00:22:42.320 --> 00:22:44.960 him to tempt us it's true because many 00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:47.360 times I think we we live our life as if 00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:49.039 we believe that God is not aware of the 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:51.679 battles we face and we as if we don't 00:22:51.679 --> 00:22:53.520 know that God actually has solution to 00:22:53.520 --> 00:22:56.080 those battles like you said the strategy 00:22:56.080 --> 00:22:58.000 and tactics 00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.840 you know the Holy Spirit knows every 00:22:59.840 --> 00:23:01.600 question on the test the tests written 00:23:01.600 --> 00:23:03.360 for you he knows the questions he knows 00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:05.600 the tests he knows the troubles so 00:23:05.600 --> 00:23:07.440 that's why we have to trust in him for 00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:09.360 his strategy his tactics to get us out 00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:13.039 of it we have many relationship that god 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:14.240 has brought brought to your life to 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.880 bless you you have a blessed wife a 00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:19.039 blessed husband and children for 00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:21.520 lifetime for God's sake but the strategy 00:23:21.520 --> 00:23:25.360 of the enemy is in the course of time to 00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:27.600 break this covenant 00:23:27.600 --> 00:23:30.159 to bring misunderstanding to build on it 00:23:30.159 --> 00:23:32.159 and to separate you can see people 00:23:32.159 --> 00:23:34.799 started a wonderful journey i love you 00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:37.039 for a lifetime for better and for worse 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:39.520 after five two it's become something 00:23:39.520 --> 00:23:41.840 different because of what circumstances 00:23:41.840 --> 00:23:43.080 of this 00:23:43.080 --> 00:23:45.679 earth things on the outside some say hey 00:23:45.679 --> 00:23:47.520 I love Jesus I'm a Christian there are 00:23:47.520 --> 00:23:50.559 many that grew cold today and even don't 00:23:50.559 --> 00:23:52.559 go to church don't pray anymore what 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:54.640 because of circumstances of this life 00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:59.039 that Satan is happy when you do that but 00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:00.679 once we know his 00:24:00.679 --> 00:24:03.280 strategy now his tactics become evident 00:24:03.280 --> 00:24:04.640 for 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:06.880 When somebody come and provoke you or 00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:09.520 situation come difficulty come as Rose 00:24:09.520 --> 00:24:12.559 died what do you do 00:24:12.559 -->

the natural go to the 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.480 secret place and bring all the 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.559 insult all the negative circumstances 00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:32.000 all the threats to the throne of grace 00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.320 and give it to Jesus that's what the 00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:37.279 Lord said come to me oh you are heavy 00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.080 legend i will give you rest that looks 00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:43.760 so easy but that's the truth 00:24:43.760 --> 00:24:45.279 because it is easy it is difficult for 00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:47.520 you to believe it it is true we we 00:24:47.520 --> 00:24:49.200 believe we have to make so much effort 00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:51.679 whereas to surrender our burdens to God 00:24:51.679 --> 00:24:54.159 it's a decision but we have to do it 00:24:54.159 --> 00:24:56.640 many of us we we we after praying we 00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.320 seem we feel more burdened than ever 00:24:58.320 --> 00:24:59.520 because we've not actually given our 00:24:59.520 --> 00:25:02.000 burdens to God we want to we want to 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.840 keep our burdens because we think it's 00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:06.080 in our strength it's not our strength 00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:08.159 paul the persecutor who know how to use 00:25:08.159 --> 00:25:10.360 weapon to persecute people when he was

00:25:39.559 see the hand of God the question is 00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:43.840 though do I in if I invite God or I 00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:46.720 don't want to invite God if you invite 00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.559 God you invite God in the spirit 00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:53.200 cuz God is in the spirit your enemy is 00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.000 in the spirit there's one game we call 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:58.240 in French marionet somebody is using 00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.640 some like a puppet puppet show how could 00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.039 I call it you you have some strings to 00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:04.640 control the movement of the Yeah like a 00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:07.200 puppet show yeah that's how certain he's 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.080 manipulating people against you but the 00:26:10.080 --> 00:26:11.679 one who's manipulating is behind the 00:26:11.679 --> 00:26:13.840 scene you can't see him he's behind the 00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:15.600 curtain of reality he's hiding in the 00:26:15.600 --> 00:26:17.919 spirit that's the devil so when you go 00:26:17.919 --> 00:26:18.679 to 00:26:18.679 --> 00:26:21.840 Jesus when the Lord looks at the devil 00:26:21.840 --> 00:26:24.159 when the Holy Spirit looks at him if you 00:26:24.159 --> 00:26:27.240 see him running you will not be afraid 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:31.039 anymore the battle is the Lord 00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:33.039 now before we talk about strategy and 00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.320 tactics we need to learn the way of God 00:26:36.320 --> 00:26:38.799 when you mention every general of God 00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:41.360 who overcame the battle of life just 00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:44.520 study his life study the way he handled 00:26:44.520 --> 00:26:47.840 persecution he handled difficult time 00:26:47.840 --> 00:26:50.120 mention any successful person 00:26:50.120 --> 00:26:53.120 today study his life he went through 00:26:53.120 --> 00:26:56.000 difficult situation through mountains 00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:59.440 through valleys to but he never gave up 00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:01.240 that is the 00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:03.400 issue don't give 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.720 up don't surrender 00:27:07.760 --> 00:27:11.440 oh my God stand in faith even if the 00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:14.559 house is shaking even if you your belief 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:16.559 is shaking

00:28:34.919 --> 00:28:38.120 is what is your 00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:41.760 attitude this battle between the flesh 00:28:41.760 --> 00:28:42.919 and the 00:28:42.919 --> 00:28:47.440 spirit you are in between there is God 00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.320 there is a world there 00:28:49.320 --> 00:28:51.600 situation which one do you turn your 00:28:51.600 --> 00:28:54.320 focus to are you going to

--> 00:29:05.039 truth how do we look to God we don't 00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:08.120 look to God with his eyes we look 00:29:08.120 --> 00:29:10.200 inwardly inside of 00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:13.279 you

a war and 00:30:41.159 --> 00:30:43.120 situation what is the first thing they 00:30:43.120 --> 00:30:46.520 will do everybody assess 00:30:46.520 --> 00:30:49.600 themselves ah do I have enough weapon to 00:30:49.600 --> 00:30:50.919 stand this 00:30:50.919 --> 00:30:54.000 person in the olden days it was a law of 00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:56.799 the stronger if a strong army came and 00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:58.960 surrender a small town before they 00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.440 engage the battle and be eradicated they 00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:03.360 will see okay we are too small but

them peace 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.360 if you surrender I will take you off and 00:31:17.360 --> 00:31:18.600 you become my 00:31:18.600 --> 00:31:20.559 servant that's how they do in the 00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:24.760 natural so now if you look at your 00:31:24.760 --> 00:31:26.840 weapons what are your 00:31:26.840 --> 00:31:30.480 weapons it's not gun it's not knife it's 00:31:30.480

withstand one second the sword of 00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.159 the spirit the sword of the spirit which 00:31:42.159 --> 00:31:43.919 is the word of God now the question 00:31:43.919 --> 00:31:45.919 which word of God are we talking about 00:31:45.919 --> 00:31:47.919 it's not you go to the Bible and read 00:31:47.919 --> 00:31:50.279 the verse and just say it that's not the 00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:53.360 weapon that's not a weapon that's your 00:31:53.360 --> 00:31:56.159 mouth but what is the weapon go to the 00:31:56.159 --> 00:31:58.159 secret place no matter how difficult it

00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.960 but if you walk on that fear you will 00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.559 see the greatness of God in your life 00:32:14.559 --> 00:32:16.279 that's what faith is all

something on 00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.000 the outside thank you cuz that's always 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:04.080 changing things around us even 00:33:04.080 --> 00:33:06.080 physically we're changing the situation 00:33:06.080 --> 00:33:08.880 around us is changing the only thing 00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:11.679 which doesn't change is God's word it 00:33:11.679 --> 00:33:13.360 remains the same

00:33:44.080 source the moment you recognize that the 00:33:44.080 --> 00:33:47.200 battle is in the spirit the moment you 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:48.880 begin to see that this situation is

Jesus then said 00:36:06.240 --> 00:36:08.000 "Get behind me Satan." That's what the 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.079 Lord said to him 00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:13.520 satan was one manipulating the feelings 00:36:13.520 --> 00:36:17.119 of Peter satan was the one creating fear 00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:18.960 so Peter acted on his feeling and 00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.119 emotion in the natural and wanted to 00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.920 stop Jesus and that's the easiest trap 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:27.960 that Satan will set for us because we we 00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:31.760 we're all human beings that have senses 00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.520 and this is what we find easy to 00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:35.920 navigate the world around us but that's 00:36:35.920 --> 00:36:37.359 why we have to know who we are 00:36:37.359 --> 00:36:39.920 spiritually what did Jesus say get 00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:43.040 behind me Satan you think like man not 00:36:43.040 --> 00:36:47.040 like God oh my Lord take note of that 00:36:47.040 --> 00:36:49.920 we think like humans when I think like 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:53.280 human like man I see the person as my 00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:56.640 enemy i think in a natural way i react 00:36:56.640 --> 00:36:58.960 in a natural way you touch me like that 00:36:58.960 --> 00:37:00.800 you're going to see me you are thinking 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:04.000 talking like man not like God talks not 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.480 like Jesus talks and that is where the 00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:10.720 trouble is the devil can only tempt you 00:37:10.720 --> 00:37:12.640 he cannot force you satan cannot give 00:37:12.640 --> 00:37:14.640 you a blow he will use your neighbor to 00:37:14.640 --> 00:37:17.280 give you a blow mhm satan cannot beat 00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:18.960 the person he will use your hand to slap 00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:21.200 the person and leave you with the issue 00:37:21.200 --> 00:37:25.520 behind and you take you as responsible 00:37:25.520 --> 00:37:27.119 there's one quotable quote prophet 00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:31.359 Joshua said "Prisons are overcrowded by 00:37:31.359 --> 00:37:36.760 people too weak to resist Satan." 00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:40.240 Graveyards are full of people who fail 00:37:40.240 --> 00:37:43.200 to resist the devil 00:37:43.200 --> 00:37:45.359 can you imagine many people are 00:37:45.359 --> 00:37:47.920 regretting today because they have 00:37:47.920 --> 00:37:50.720 broken relationship beyond repair 00:37:50.720 --> 00:37:52.640 many people have taken actions that 00:37:52.640 --> 00:37:55.599 change their destiny and we're all weak 00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:57.839 when it comes to the things of the 00:37:57.839 --> 00:38:00.400 spirit that is why we need help from the 00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:02.560 Holy Spirit so that is why we're talking 00:38:02.560 --> 00:38:04.400 today about this battle of the ages 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:07.040 because it's so essential for you and me 00:38:07.040 --> 00:38:09.040 to be able to live the life that Jesus 00:38:09.040 --> 00:38:11.359 wants us to live because remember whilst 00:38:11.359 --> 00:38:13.040 we're on this earth it's the living that 00:38:13.040 --> 00:38:15.040 can praise God it's the living that can 00:38:15.040 --> 00:38:18.079 have faith over there we meet him as 00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.200 judge here we have faith in Jesus as our 00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:23.760 savior but over there we meet him as as 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:26.079 judge are you ready to meet him so that 00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:29.359 is why we're talking about this today 00:38:29.359 --> 00:38:32.640 the battle of the ages and how do we 00:38:32.640 --> 00:38:34.640 have the strategies and tactics of God 00:38:34.640 --> 00:38:36.240 to be able to win this battle and it's 00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:39.040 an everyday battle but there is hope yes 00:38:39.040 --> 00:38:40.960 God has given us the strategies and the 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:43.599 tactics to be able to conquer this 00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:47.680 battle god created you to be a victor 00:38:47.680 --> 00:38:48.920 not a 00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:51.440 failure god created you to be an 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:54.480 overcomer not a person being defeated 00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:56.560 god gave dominion to man when he created 00:38:56.560 --> 00:38:59.359 man over all things and Satan deceived 00:38:59.359 --> 00:39:02.240 man to fall into sin and loses the 00:39:02.240 --> 00:39:04.079 dominion but today we've believed the 00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:06.960 lie that we're victims and that someone 00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:08.480 else should always solve our problem for 00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:10.760 us so please I need your 00:39:10.760 --> 00:39:14.000 attention i want to say who you are 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:16.720 let's go back

you 00:43:02.560 --> 00:43:05.200 have to understand this you have to 00:43:05.200 --> 00:43:06.960 identify your source you have to know 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:09.280 whom you are in Christ Jesus if you are 00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:10.880 truly child of God born again this will 00:43:10.880 --> 00:43:14.960 be your stand mhm thus says God the Lord 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.880 who created the heavens and stretched 00:43:16.880 --> 00:43:19.520 them out who spread forth the earth and 00:43:19.520 --> 00:43:21.520 that which comes from it who gives 00:43:21.520 --> 00:43:24.240 breath to the people on it and spirit to 00:43:24.240 --> 00:43:27.200 those who walk on it you hear that god 00:43:27.200 --> 00:43:29.760 say I created the heaven and earth i 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:31.680 created you and I create a spirit within 00:43:31.680 --> 00:43:34.000 you you can't doubt you have a spirit 00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:38.280 god's word clearly said "You have a 00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:40.400 spirit you have a father in the 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:43.319 natural." Am I right how can God be your 00:43:43.319 --> 00:43:45.599 father god can never be your father in 00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:47.680 the body here in the natural god can 00:43:47.680 --> 00:43:49.359 only be your father here in the spirit 00:43:49.359 --> 00:43:51.280 because he's the father of spirits go to 00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:55.839 Hebrews 12:9 as Ruth said Hebrews 12:9 00:43:55.839 --> 00:43:59.240 let's go there 00:43:59.359 --> 00:44:01.359 it is important to understand this is 00:44:01.359 --> 00:44:04.520 what the gospel of Jesus is all 00:44:04.520 --> 00:44:08.560 about if you are truly born again God is 00:44:08.560 --> 00:44:10.920 your father and you have a new 00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:13.680 spirit and that's the contact point this 00:44:13.680 --> 00:44:17.119 is the source of everything in your 00:44:17.160 --> 00:44:19.520 life this body can never be in the 00:44:19.520 --> 00:44:21.839 spirit but your spirit can be in the 00:44:21.839 --> 00:44:23.520 spirit 00:44:23.520 --> 00:44:26.160 this is a part of you that receive 00:44:26.160 --> 00:44:30.079 revelation inspiration from God Almighty 00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:32.319 from 00:44:34.280 --> 00:44:37.640 Jesus hebrew 12 00:44:37.640 --> 00:44:41.440 6:9 i think it's verse 00:44:43.240 --> 00:44:46.640 9 furthermore we have had human fathers 00:44:46.640 --> 00:44:48.800 who corrected us and we paid them 00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:51.520 respect shall we not much more readily 00:44:51.520 --> 00:44:53.839 be in subjection to the father of spirit 00:44:53.839 --> 00:44:57.200 father of spirit and live if God is your 00:44:57.200 --> 00:45:00.640 father he's the father of your spirit 00:45:00.640 --> 00:45:02.800 that's what Jesus said in John that 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:04.760 which is born of flesh is 00:45:04.760 --> 00:45:07.440 flesh that which is born of the spirit 00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:09.599 is 00:45:10.200 --> 00:45:13.480 spirit do you know you are a spirit 00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:18.520 being you have a soul and a body 00:45:18.720 --> 00:45:20.280 you have to know 00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:24.079 this if you know you have a spirit you 00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:26.560 have a soul and you have a body now 00:45:26.560 --> 00:45:29.200 that's what God will say clearly how did 00:45:29.200 --> 00:45:32.680 God did this let's go to the book of 00:45:32.680 --> 00:45:38.800

00:51:49.680 m or we allow oursel to be controlled by 00:51:49.680 --> 00:51:52.400 satanic devices and how does satanic 00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:54.160 devices control us through our emotions 00:51:54.160 --> 00:51:56.800 through our senses we we can say we 00:51:56.800 --> 00:51:58.800 believe in Jesus but we can actually be 00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:00.800 controlled by satanic devices controlled 00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:02.559 by fear controlled by worry controlled 00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:04.960 by anger controlled by jealousy envy all 00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:06.559 these things can control us because we 00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:09.040 open the door to them because we're not 00:52:09.040 --> 00:52:10.880 putting on the armor of God and we don't 00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:12.880 know

work independently they are 00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.480 interdependent that's the 00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:27.839 problem they can't be interdependent as 00:52:27.839 --> 00:52:29.880 long as you live they're 00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:32.319 interdependent they depend to each other 00:52:32.319 --> 00:52:34.960 now David say your verse say you cover 00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:37.920 me my verse say you

00:59:40.960 --> 00:59:43.280 this every person who is born of a man 00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:45.359 and a woman is born like this but you 00:59:45.359 --> 00:59:47.280 have a spirit the soul and the body now 00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:49.000 the question I was asking 00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:51.760 you why are we not conscious that we 00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:54.640 have a spirit and a soul simply because 00:59:54.640 --> 00:59:58.640 we have been separated from God here 00:59:58.640 --> 01:00:01.760 no one is born righteous no one is born 01:00:01.760 --> 01:00:05.520 saved we be oh my God we become natural 01:00:05.520 --> 01:00:07.040 first 01:00:07.040 --> 01:00:10.920 and then Jesus say we need to be born 01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:13.520 again every person who is born of a 01:00:13.520 --> 01:00:15.440 woman and a man we are both sinful 01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:18.000 nature as David say in the book of Psalm 01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:20.880 51 we are all sinners no one is born 01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:22.720 righteous not even one so when you are 01:00:22.720 --> 01:00:24.000 born natural there's a wall of 01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:25.920 separation between God and man since 01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:29.040 Adam died he's a cause of it since he 01:00:29.040 --> 01:00:31.200 died there's a wall of separation we all 01:00:31.200 --> 01:00:33.440 born natural the natural come first 01:00:33.440 --> 01:00:35.920 before the spiritual right 1 Corinthians 01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:38.920 chapter 15 verse 46 to 01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:41.920 47 now when from your mother's womb this 01:00:41.920 --> 01:00:43.760 is when the human society recognize your 01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:45.839 date of birth you begin to communicate 01:00:45.839 --> 01:00:47.319 and you have these 01:00:47.319 --> 01:00:50.160 senses the eyes are open the first time 01:00:50.160 --> 01:00:52.000 the baby left from the womb it begin to 01:00:52.000 --> 01:00:53.760 breathe 01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:55.599 in our mother's womb we are like fish am 01:00:55.599 --> 01:00:59.040 I right yes we never talk we never 01:00:59.040 --> 01:01:01.359 breathe we were living inside the heart 01:01:01.359 --> 01:01:04.079 was beating we're living like a fish god 01:01:04.079 --> 01:01:06.720 is great if you look at the life of a 01:01:06.720 --> 01:01:08.680 fetus you learn a lot from 01:01:08.680 --> 01:01:11.920 God now immediately the baby comes out 01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:14.079 the umbilical cord is broken he begin to 01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:15.839 relate with the world the baby begin to 01:01:15.839 --> 01:01:18.799 see begin to hear sounds he begin to see 01:01:18.799 --> 01:01:20.799 the things on the outside sound on the 01:01:20.799 --> 01:01:23.599 outside have feelings and begin to cry 01:01:23.599 --> 01:01:26.559 and we begin to feed him here in a 01:01:26.559 --> 01:01:28.119 natural 01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:31.400 way oh my god this is everybody when you 01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:33.760 born from our mother's womb till the day 01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:35.440 we encounter Jesus somebody who never 01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:37.920 knew Jesus will not save will live like 01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.160 this all his life he doesn't have any 01:01:40.160 --> 01:01:41.599 consciousness of the spirit he's 01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:45.119 separated from God his soul is depending 01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:46.720 only on this body the world is 01:01:46.720 --> 01:01:48.799 controlled the senses the body is 01:01:48.799 --> 01:01:50.720 controlled by what you see and the soul 01:01:50.720 --> 01:01:52.599 is controlled by the situation of life 01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:55.839 depression trouble is living in the 01:01:55.839 --> 01:01:57.079 fleshly 01:01:57.079 --> 01:01:59.520 tendencies paul call it a carnally 01:01:59.520 --> 01:02:02.480 minded person and sadly so many people 01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:05.440 that even profess Jesus with their lips 01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:07.839 are still ru ruled by the senses and 01:02:07.839 --> 01:02:11.119 carnally minded now and that's why we 01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:12.040 need to have 01:02:12.040 --> 01:02:14.799 wisdom when you meet somebody who 01:02:14.799 --> 01:02:18.480 doesn't know Jesus who doesn't know God 01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:21.200 he may not accept your faith he may 01:02:21.200 --> 01:02:23.599 behave differently but that person is 01:02:23.599 --> 01:02:25.920 ignorant of the spiritual reality but 01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:28.640 Jesus say love that person 01:02:28.640 --> 01:02:31.119 pray for that person for him to discover 01:02:31.119 --> 01:02:33.680 what you discover to know what you know 01:02:33.680 --> 01:02:35.680 pray for that person for him one day his 01:02:35.680 --> 01:02:38.160 eyes to be open and he accept Jesus and 01:02:38.160 --> 01:02:40.079 begin to be born again here that's the 01:02:40.079 --> 01:02:41.880 purpose of the 01:02:41.880 --> 01:02:45.440 church so and all of us we are born like 01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:47.119 this remember one day Jesus said in 01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:49.640 Matthew chapter 11 concerning John the 01:02:49.640 --> 01:02:54.559 Baptist he said of all men born of woman 01:02:54.559 --> 01:02:57.839 no one is greater than John the Baptist 01:02:57.839 --> 01:03:00.160 but he who is least in the kingdom of 01:03:00.160 --> 01:03:02.880 God is greater than him what can you say 01:03:02.880 --> 01:03:04.440 about 01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:08.240 that of all man born of man and woman 01:03:08.240 --> 01:03:09.760 everybody has a father and a mother in 01:03:09.760 --> 01:03:11.240 the 01:03:11.240 --> 01:03:13.520 natural Jesus say nobody is greater than 01:03:13.520 --> 01:03:14.960 John the Baptist but he who is born 01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:16.880 again is greater than all because God 01:03:16.880 --> 01:03:19.359 become your father 01:03:19.359 --> 01:03:21.280 that's why the purpose of the gospel is 01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:23.720 to be born again 01:03:23.720 --> 01:03:25.760 salvation restore the relationship 01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:27.200 between God and man that's why Jesus 01:03:27.200 --> 01:03:29.119 came that's why the greatest need you 01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:31.520 have is not money is not food is the 01:03:31.520 --> 01:03:32.880 kingdom of god 01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:35.039 seek first the kingdom of God and his 01:03:35.039 --> 01:03:37.119 righteousness it's true because you were 01:03:37.119 --> 01:03:38.640 asking the other day what's the greatest 01:03:38.640 --> 01:03:41.200 need that we have thank you that's the 01:03:41.200 --> 01:03:43.280 next message we're going to share the 01:03:43.280 --> 01:03:47.760 greatest need is this one salvation 01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:50.160 that's why no matter how many physical 01:03:50.160 --> 01:03:51.920 material things we possess it can never 01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:53.839 really satisfy us because that's not our 01:03:53.839 --> 01:03:56.559 greatest need because we are spiritual 01:03:56.559 --> 01:03:59.280 people we're spiritual creatures and 01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:01.839 there's something inside each of us that 01:04:01.839 --> 01:04:03.359 desperately longs to have that 01:04:03.359 --> 01:04:05.359 relationship with our creator i don't 01:04:05.359 --> 01:04:08.319 want to give you much i want to we come 01:04:08.319 --> 01:04:11.119 down we continue next week but what we 01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:14.160 want to say to you you need to discover 01:04:14.160 --> 01:04:16.559 yourself 01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:19.520 you can see Christianity is not just a 01:04:19.520 --> 01:04:22.720 religion of men of rituals it's a 01:04:22.720 --> 01:04:25.280 spiritual relationship with God that's 01:04:25.280 --> 01:04:27.920 why Jesus say you need to be born again 01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:30.160 christianity is to have rel relationship 01:04:30.160 --> 01:04:32.359 with God in spirit and in 01:04:32.359 --> 01:04:34.960 truth so now what happened when we are 01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:35.960 born 01:04:35.960 --> 01:04:38.480 again this is born of woman and born of 01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:40.480 Christ is born again when you are born 01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:43.359 again God said we read it Ezekiel 01:04:43.359 --> 01:04:46.720 chapter 36 verse 26 27 i will put my 01:04:46.720 -->

--> 01:04:56.880 of you that is new at salvation is your 01:04:56.880 --> 01:05:00.079 spirit that means the body is the same 01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:01.760 the body is the same the soul is the 01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:03.680 same the soul is the same the spirit is 01:05:03.680 --> 01:05:06.400 different 01:05:06.400 --> 01:05:08.400 you have a new spirit and you have a new 01:05:08.400 -->
