It's about time to be angry, a little bit stirred up, a little bit more aggressive with against the stuff that's coming at you. They're lies. They're absolutely falsehoods. Do not accept that. You don't accept the lie and speak to it. Don't let it come. You speak to that thing. Now I'm not a person that likes animals in the house. If you are, that's okay. I will not judge you. Not my face. Just but for me, if the dog is in the kitchen, what do you do? Get out. Oh, hop out now, puppy. No. Not me. Get out. Right? [01:28:42] (57 seconds)  #StandAgainstLies Download clip

I think there's two things being called to do today. Take account of what comes into your head. Capture every thought. Surround that thought with the word of god. He's also we have to endure. We do have to be tenacious. We have to be a little bit wild sometimes when it comes to the things of god. We're not to be passive. We're Christians, and everyone will tell you, oh, you're a Christian. You're supposed to be a nice person. I get told that every day at school.

Holy Spirit said to me, this is a seed. This is the seed. What you can see is the seed. It's not a big project. What you can see here, that's not the big part. You see, all you can see is the seed. You see, I'm gonna grow this huge. See, the seed has to grow to a tree. Right? We don't see the tree often. We see a little seed. We see the beginning of something. Often, that's your word you speak. You wanna see a tree. I wanna see the tree. Sorry. You get to see a seed sometimes. You just get to the the the ability to see the seed. You're really thankful for that.

fifty years ago, what they would say is that how you grew up with your parents, what they inputted into your life, the DNA that you got from mom and dad, and your surroundings, that was who you are, That's how you grew up, and that's all you had. Today, they're saying no. You can change the way you are. You can change the way you think. You can change the outcome of where you're going. The bible said that 2,000 ago. Paul said you can renew your mind by the washing of your word. Wow. [01:07:13] (37 seconds)  #RenewYourMind Download clip

You train all your life. If you're a marathon runner, that's what you are. You're a marathon runner, and you are continuously training. See, in our work that we're doing, we're continuously fighting battles. If we're not fighting a battle, we're talking about the last battle or getting ready to fight one. So that's who we are. And so your enemy is always at you to discourage you and take you out of the game. So you're always talking about it no matter what you're doing. So when we say, you know, the the negative thoughts come at us, is it just a day? Is it just a week, or is it just all the time? It's all the time. I can tell you now it's all the time.

He's prepared you for a time like this where you are ready. You're ready. Deep down, you're saying, yes. I wanna do this. I wanna see the lost saved. I don't wanna see another person go to hell just because I decided not to. I don't wanna see another person in anywhere around Emerald go to hell, you see, god has called us to be evangelists, to evangelize our area. When he puts something on your heart, you can't stop it. You just can't stop it. There's no more. Speak Jesus right now, and you'll do it. [01:39:43] (55 seconds)  #SpeakJesusNow Download clip

And that's what we're doing. When we start listening to that rubbish that comes in our head, we're we're burning our stuff on the alder. Just throw it in the fire. No more. You're not burning on the fire anymore. Alright? Tell him to get out. Get out. Right. And how do we do it? We use the word. See, the word here sitting on the table is the word of god. The word in your hand is now a sword. The word coming out of your mouth is a sword, and that's how you kill it. See, an active word is now becomes the sword of the spirit. Right? Just as this is just the word of God. Just sits there, does nothing. If you don't read it, you don't know what it says, it just does nothing. It's gotta come out of your mouth. As it comes out of your mouth, it actually activates something that destroys all that stuff that's coming at you. [01:31:21] (68 seconds)  #WordIsASword Download clip

This is a word for you. It's a word in season. The word for you people who are looking online. It's a word in season. It's time for us to to activate the things that god has put in our hearts. It's a time to activate that. You know if you've been robbed of stuff. You know that you may have thrown things on the fire because of fear, doubt, things that have overcome you, massive grief, massive loss, continuous repetitive strain, one after the other after the other. That's not your body. That's not your spirit. That's your mind. Your mind is starting to cripple you and strangle you. This is where we start to get aggressive. We come against that. Not about condemnation. It's not about saying that I'm a bad person. It's about giving it to the lord because god knows. He knows your heart. He knows what you want.
