1. "So why did ancient Israel turn to idolatry so frequently? Have you ever asked yourself that question? What appealed to them? That would turn them into Gentiles. Remember, many of the people believe that gods lived in the earth. And if they worshipped the local gods, in fact, it would bring a good harvest. I don't know if you know that. But this is interesting. So they wanted a harvest. And this is understandable, right? So they sought after the gods as a form of prosperity. Don't we all want a good harvest? We do. Did they get what they wanted? Maybe they did. Maybe their harvest did produce. So they were satisfied. Satisfied isn't what it's about, though. Because they wanted to satisfy their flesh. Amen? Isn't this what drives many of us? The church? To satisfy the flesh and desire hidden under a spiritual umbrella, so to speak? But it wasn't God. It absolutely wasn't God."

2. "God will not be mocked. See, God is calling us for a greater discernment. But as God's bride, we have to get our lives in order. Too many are trying to portray themselves as leaders when there's rebellion and disobedience in their own homes. Things are out of order. And you say you are a deliverance minister, but there are doors that are open to addiction, to perversion, to seducing and lying spirits, to disobedience, to unsober minds, to unforgiveness. An apostle dealt with that. Amen? Just the other day. Unresolved anger, rage, fear, jealousy, envy. Immaturity, rebellion. The list goes on and on. We've laughed. Amen? Come on. Stick with me here tonight. Lighting candles. TM, yoga, horoscope, summoning other spirits. Some of you even have dream catchers on your walls. Get rid of it. It's demonic. It's demonic. It's not of God. Get rid of it. It's an open door." [09:25] (73 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
3. "See, there's always a spiritual balance in the world. And for every power on the side of holiness, there's a corresponding lure or a bait on the side of defilement. I don't know if you caught that in the spirit here tonight. I want you to tell someone next to you, I want to stay, say this, I want to stay on the side of holiness. Amen. Let that be your declaration. Amen? God is raising us to a higher level. Amen? Hallelujah. And for those that are really brave enough, okay, this afternoon, I want you to tell your neighbor, I'll do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes for what? To walk in purity and holiness. To Tell your neighbor." [13:13] (63 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
4. "So what do we do? How do we understand the Old Testament in light of redemption? Harabashe korabasete. Two evils. They abandoned me. God says, they abandoned me. The fountain of living water. And second, I said the first wasn't bad enough, right? They dug for themselves. Cracked cisterns, broken cisterns, which hold no water at all. So wait a minute. God said, they abandoned me. Meaning what? He was deserted. Tanya, he was rejected. Do you know what it's like to be rejected? And abandoned? Abandoned? Amen? Amen? Yeah, I see some nods here. So the God of all creation, the one who says, I am who I say I am, who is the fountain of living waters, abandoned the ancient of days who with Israel. And he came in as a glory cloud, people. A pillar. A pillar of fire, saints of God. Fire. Fire." [20:13] (84 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
5. "If we are drinking from broken cisterns. How can we be available to pray in the heart of God? To intercede. As God has instructed us. How can we push back darkness if we are entertaining demons at places we drink from? And then refuse to tear down our own idols and deal with false doctrines and ideologies. If we are truly drinking from the fountain of life. It will cause us to repent. I'm telling you. It will lead us to repent. We can't be in the presence of God. If it's truly the presence of God. We are going to want to repent. Because we don't want to grieve God's heart. Hallelujah. It will lead us to humble ourselves. Humble ourselves before the Lord to make things right. Amen. We must be willing and recognize. You know. Open our eyes. Amen. To the error that we've walked in. Amen. To be willing to admit when we are wrong. we missed it. Right? When we perceived it incorrectly. Amen. To confess our sin to God. One to another. That we may be what? Healed. Come on. Come on." [50:44] (82 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
6. "The oil that you've been seeking. Some of you travel around. And go different places. Trying to get the oil. But listen. It's found in the living water. Everybody wants the oil. But have you been drinking from the pure fountain. Of the living God. Everybody is here. Ready to go from here to there. To acquire the oil. But you fail to drink daily. From the well. Of the Lord. That's right in front of you. And the Lord is saying come back. Come back. It's not going to be attained out there. Yes. Conferences are great. It's wonderful you know. And we get to experience God in certain ways. But it's our daily. It's our daily. Amen. So we got to be in the presence of God." [59:45] (49 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
