Sure, here are the 15 selected quotes:

3. "And so it actually goes deeper. There's a deeper sense here. Destroy, actually, the word often refers to breaking chains or untying something that was bound. There's a message there. And so it beautifully fits the idea of liberation from sin in the devil's grip. Can you say amen? Here's a fact. Through the power of the cross and the resurrection, Jesus crushed Satan. Well, thank you. Thank you." [00:05:14] (25 seconds)


6. "And so in the Old Testament, the goel, the redeemer, the kingsman redeemer, or actually avenger is actually what it means in the Hebrew. It had two main roles. The first one, Leviticus 25 .25 said, the first role of the redeemer, the goel, was to redeem family members from debt and slavery. In other words, they would buy back property or whatever they suffered loss, the family would step in, that goel, to act, it actually means in the best interest of close relatives. But the second role in Numbers 35 .19, we just read, means to avenge the wrongful death of a relative. So if you were called upon as the kingsman, the redeemer, you would watch over the family, you'd be the protector, but if something wicked happened, it was evil and it was a murder, you were the goel. You were the one called. It actually, in Hebrew, means goel hadam. It means you were the avenger to avenge the evil. Now let me bring some context." [00:08:43] (64 seconds)


8. "there's a scene that is so riveting in there about this young shepherd boy David as he goes before Goliath and as they build up you know these episodes I think about how the power of the Holy Spirit was on this man and as David ran towards Goliath and but see here's the thing that spoke to me that Goliath for 40 days came out and he said I defy the God of Israel he blasphemed he cursed our God cursed the God of Israel every day and they just were cowering in fear even Saul was afraid he was under delusions and and and David came in full of the spirit of God with the spirit of the avenger and everywhere he turned in and they somehow they captured that in this movie and even the king Saul goes I don't know what it is about you but you inspire courage in my heart you know courage is contagious did you hear that courage is contagious and when people cowl in fear and you look around it's like will anyone rise up but the spirit of God in that day avenged evil can you say amen here's the thing some of you have been attacked by the enemy you've been attacked in your health in your family maybe some of you in your finances but here's the thing you need to hear today Jesus still avenges he is your avenger can you say amen" [00:11:11] (86 seconds)


9. "And so 1 John 3 .8 says this, that the reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. Every miracle, every miracle that Jesus performed was an act of vengeance against the kingdom of darkness. Every miracle. Let me give you an example, the story of blind Bartimaeus, a blind man. Jesus avenged his suffering with sight, right? The woman with the issue of blood, 12 years of sickness, in a moment that was destroyed, wiped out. Jesus avenged. The crippled man at Bethesda, 38 years waiting to get into the pool to get healed. In one moment's time, at one command in John 5, he got up and he walked. Jesus is the Avenger. I think of the story of the Legion, the man possessed with multiple spirits in the tomb. Satan had bound him, but Jesus steps out of the boat when he comes across the shore in that area. He was the Avenger. He was the Avenger. He was the Avenger. He was the Avenger." [00:13:02] (56 seconds)


11. "The cross was the ultimate vengeance of the avenger. Satan thought the cross was his greatest victory, but it was actually his greatest defeat, the Bible says. So what happened at the cross? Well, Colossians 2 .14 says Jesus canceled the legal rights of sin in Satan over humanity. Watch this, Revelation 1 .19, Jesus broke, his blood broke the power of death, the Bible says. Genesis 3 .1 -5, Jesus' resurrection crushed the head of the serpent forever, legally. You know, imagine a champion stepping into the ring, and the enemy lands a blow, but the enemy doesn't know that in striking him, he sealed his own doom. That's what happened to the enemy. Now, according to Romans 8 .11, the Bible says, watch this, that the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Did you get that? That same resurrection, avenging spirit that was in Christ Jesus lives in you." [00:15:21] (65 seconds)


12. "Here's the thing, for the true believer, for the true believer, you don't fight for victory, you fight from victory, right? Satan, we see from the Scripture, legally is already defeated. And see, here's the thing, every believer, this is why it's so important you get the Word of God in you. It's so important you get the Word of God in you. it's This is why it's so important you stay, not as, because I'm saying this as a pastor, but it's so vital that you stay connected into a local church body where you couldn't grow thereby. Stay connected, because the enemy wants to cut you off. Get you like, you know, like so the wolves can get you. But when you're in the pack, you're protected under the blood. Can I get an amen? But he's defeated. But we need to learn, Christians need to learn how to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit. That you have to learn how to resist the enemy, right? You need to, you have to learn how to use the word of God in these situations to take authority over your marriage, over your finances, over your health. Can I get an amen? All right? Satan is defeated. And then the good news today, continuing more with good news, Jesus is still avenging today. Exodus 14, 14 says, the Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still. Wow. Jesus' mission did not end at the resurrection." [00:16:26] (77 seconds)
