Understanding Demonic Influence and Jesus' Authority

1. "By disobedience, disobedience. Disobedience is the opposite of obedience. So you cannot be obedient if you're being disobedient. And the Bible, the Bible here literally calls us the sons of disobedience. And so we're, we're the sons of disobedience, the sons of the devil because we're disobeying God. And Acts chapter five, I'm not going to break it down now, but it's the story of Ananias and Sapphira. And the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts five, Peter said, he said to Ananias that Satan has filled your heart. He actually alluded to Ananias. He said, Ananias, Satan has filled your heart, Ananias." [02:34] (42 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


2. "We have to be careful. And we allow these doors to open up. Matter of fact, Ephesians 4, 27. I speak it a lot, especially with this, dealing with this subject. Paul told the believers in Ephesus. So I want us to know, because we always think that this, a teaching like this has to do with them. Tell the world, preacher, get out there, get on the main street. I told first services, same thing with us. This is a, this is a French church. It's, it's we, we, it's not them, them. It's not even, it's not even that Southern. It's not even y'all, y'all. It's we, we." [04:23] (45 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "If you give place to him, he's not just going to leave because you, you decide to come to church today. You're going to need deliverance from these, these spirits because they have their own short by our own. Choice given up ground to Satan. So he says, don't give place. Don't give ground to the devil. And if you do someone stronger than you has got to command him to leave. Amen. That's why we worship the Lord. Like we do. That's why it is spent over 30 minutes in here, bringing our service, just begin to, to worship and praise and honor the one who the enemies cannot, cannot stay in the same room as he."

4. "Walk in the spirit. You shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. If it says, if we walk in the spirit, we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Then it would go to say that if we're not walking in the spirit, then we will fulfill the lust of the flesh. Well, I'm in church. I can't believe you're bringing this up today. Well, it's because the Bible says walk in the spirit. It's not a Sunday morning only suggestion. Matter of fact, it's not even a suggestion. It's a commandment. We sung a song while ago, pray about praising the Lord. How many knows that that's not a suggestion? You know, I'll suggest you praise the Lord. You know, that'd be a good thought if you praise the Lord. Uh-uh. It's a commandment. Praise ye the Lord is a commandment. Praise the Lord. Oh, my soul."

5. "You need consistency. You need balance. You don't, you don't defeat your adversary by having a few weeks that you're on fire from God. you don't fire for God. And so the enemy, all he's going to do, he's going to sit back and wait until you calm down and he'll pick right back up where he left off. But if you're walking in the spirit, always describe it this way to walk is consistency. We're just walking through this thing. If you're walking, one foot is up. While one foot is up, the other foot is down. You put this foot down and Owen comes up. That means you're consistently going, forward and the Bible. You're consistently having a relationship with God. You're consistently staying in the word and the Bible says, if you walk in the spirit, you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh."

6. "The Bible says in James four, verse seven, demons cannot stay with anyone who consists of them. Consistently submits to God and resist the devil. That means stand firm against the devil. Matter of fact, James four and seven says, if we submit ourselves to God, resist the devil, he will do what? Flee. Again, he's talking to Christians. He will flee. We have to submit ourselves to God. When we are doing this, we are not grieving the Holy Spirit. How many knows you can grieve the Holy Spirit? You can quench the Holy Spirit. And the Bible says in Ephesians four and 30, that we can grieve the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is making sure that no demons remain in the temple of God."

7. "I'm here to remind the church that I'm speaking to this morning that our battle lies with that even though the enemy comes up against us, we will not allow him to attach himself to us. And whenever we allow him to attach himself to us, we need him to be detached from us. And the problem is, is that we come to church, we try to live as Christians, we try to raise our family the way we ought to, but we have demonic spirits that have attached themselves to us, and I'm here to tell you that we need to be, for them to be detached, we need deliverance. Boy, I'm going to drag you through it if I got to drag you through it." [15:04] (41 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


8. "I want to remind this church this morning that it's very important that we put God first in everything. If you put him first, there's no place for the enemy to, to supersede him. So we must be full of the Holy Spirit and full of the word of God. Not just enough to get us by. Don't be afraid to get full of the Spirit of God. Well, I got the Holy Spirit. Yeah, but let them fill you full. Well, my cup's halfway full. I'm here to tell you, if there's ever been a time, it's time right now to be full of the Holy Spirit. How do I stay full of the Holy Spirit? Just ask God to keep filling you. It's a continuous being filled. It's not a one time thing. It's a continuous being full."

9. "We need deliverance. We need to be healed. We need to be delivered. We need to be set free. The Bible says in Matthew 6, 13, deliver us from the evil. Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. They asked him, they said, how do we pray, Jesus? And he says, in the middle of that prayer, he said, make sure you pray that you are delivered from the evil one. Why would he tell us to pray that? Because we need it. As a man, I need it. As a woman, you need it. As a father, I need it. As a pastor, I need it. As a Christian, we need it. What? God deliver us from the evil one."

10. "I'm here to tell you that Satan has been planning and scheming before your grandmama winked at your grandmother. Before your mama made a promise to get your daddy. He had a plan. He's got a scheme. He's been lying. He's been waiting. He's been like a predator on the prowl. And he's been doing that. But one little prayer from Jesus, one little thing that Jesus can do is more powerful than all the generations that the enemy has been using to try to tear down your generation. He can reverse the curse right now because we have faith in who Jesus is and what he's doing. Do you believe it this morning?" [27:35] (45 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
