Thank you, Jesus. We magnify you. We magnify you this morning, Lord. Your presence is in this room, and we honor you. Lord, we honor your voice. We honor your counsel. You alone, Lord, are who we serve. I'm asking now, Holy Spirit, that you would come, Lord, to convict of sin, to convict, Lord, of judgment on the works of evil. Lord, you are the great revealer. And I'm asking you with every heart, subconscious mind, unconscious mind, conscious mind, Lord, every memory bank, every emotion, all is before you, Lord. You are light, purity. There's nothing hidden in you. Now reveal, reveal for your people's sake, Lord, that no and nothing of the enemy's goods would live in your temple. For you said, "You are the temple of the living God." And Lord, we want to honor you in everything, that you might find your dwelling place in us completely, every room, every place open, yielded, and filled with the goodness of God in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

You can be seated. Thank you. Would you tell the band they did a great job again? Thank you. Alrighty. Well, I got a lot more to go on rejection, but I'm going to just put a pause on that. Um, I have about five sessions worth on that. But, um, I want to, I want to transition a bit to a subject that's difficult for us to hear. And you thought, "Oh man, well, this has been difficult so far." But we kind of eased you into it. And now we're going to kind of deal with some of the stuff that's in the Bible that, that, that, that's hard because we, especially in charismatic or Pentecostal churches there, because we're open to the gifts of the Spirit, and we should be. There is always a fight in the spirit to try to shut down the Holy Spirit or to try to mix the spirit so that it's not clean. Right? So, just speaking from a practical sense, when I operated in a, and I'll not mention the name of the denomination, but in a certain denomination, it was easier just to remove the atmosphere of the Holy Spirit with gifts and signs and and and any type of tongues or interpretation of tongues or prophecy or any form of discerning of, just, just give it, just teach the Bible without those things. Make the cross the highest thing, and then you don't have, as pastors and elders told me then, we don't have to deal with the weirdness. Because when you turn the Pentecostal charismatic light on, on the outside, all the bugs flock to it. Have you noticed that? You turn a light out on the back porch, and all of a sudden, like, okay. So, I'm... There's a lot of directions we could go this morning. I'm going to be, I'm going to try to be safe and controversial at the same time.

There you go. Because honestly, I, I don't know how you do things in this house. What I have known of your pastors and leaders and the encounters that I've had in various meetings, and some have visited my church, and and I've been here now two times, is and they, they like, they like things done decent and in order, and that's why the Spirit of God is able to move freely. What people don't understand, and this is, I'm just giving some precursor because it's going to get into the topic that I want to address this afternoon. What people don't understand is when, when there are real boundaries put on by scripture and leadership, it actually lets the revelation of Jesus Christ become deeper and cleaner, purer, and it actually touches, and you can feel the atmosphere of depth. That's all by design in the scripture, and it's very, very important because it's not, it's not an ungodly control. It actually is a God-directed form of control so that His Spirit doesn't become a flood. Because floods are never good. If you can tell me one flood where it didn't bring devastation, destruction, I'd be open to it. Yeah. But all through the Bible, a flood, when it's talking about the water, represents something that's not good. And so the banks of the river are established. And part of the bank of the river is the main parts of the bank are established by the Word of God itself. And then He expects His leaders to then reinforce that bank so that there is freedom in the depth of the river. Yes. And sometimes the river can, I mean, just like any river, it has deeper pockets. It has rapids, and it has placid places. The Holy Spirit doesn't always come like a Class 5 rapids in service. Right. Thank God. Right. I mean, I, I touched on this in our church last week on Psalms 23, which is one of my, my favorite Psalms. "The Lord is my shepherd," right? The famous psalm. He leads me beside still waters. And in the, one of the first things He does as shepherds is He doesn't put your boat in, in Class 5 rapids as a new beginner believer. "Have fun. Yahoo." He always, as a shepherd, puts you in, in still waters. He leads me beside green pastures. He restores my soul for His name's sake. He's got to get you to, to, to trust in the shepherd. He, He doesn't just drop you in on the deep end of the pool. I mean, that's how my dad taught me to swim is, "Hey, right." But they don't do that anymore. There's a lot of things they don't do anymore. Uh, but the, but the reality is, the shepherd moves you into the waters as a shepherd, knowing that in your journey, you're going to have to trust Him. And you're going to have to know the boundaries. And knowing the boundaries because of Him is what should give you great strength and peace when you walk through things that you don't feel are actually accurate. Yeah.

Now, the Bible speaks a lot, I mean, a lot about witchcraft. And I told you it was going to be a controversial topic. Witchcraft is not this, I have Newton's leg of frog. Okay. Okay. Now, it can have, it can have elements of that, but, you know, we kind of get our thought process maybe from Shakespeare, you know, is there in the, the Macbeth series and the witches and the, okay. It's not, it's not the classical form of witchcraft as you would think. But the Bible speaks about a form of witchcraft, and He, He actually starts it clear back in the beginning, in the book of Genesis, and He finishes it in the book of Revelation. It is one of the themes of, in fact, now, if I was teaching a, I'm trying to give you a little bit of theology here while we're dealing with deliverance because if you don't understand the theology of it, you'll think it's just pockets and it's not. Anytime you see a biblical truth that starts in the book of beginnings and ends in the book of finishing, it means there's a doctrine tied to it because He always takes the beginning and the end, and you follow the theme of that truth all the way through. That's how we form doctrines. A doctrine. If, if we're going to, I could probably have my son-in-law teach it because he's a, a theologian here, but the, the, the reality is, a doctrine means I take every verse and application from the scriptures. I, I lay all of the verses out and all of, I don't miss one. And then I begin to see the thread of how it defines from its beginning and how it's defined in its end, and how the Lord connects it all the way through in all the verses. And that's how I begin to build a belief system and a doctrine. It is never by one verse. It is never by one thing that I get a special interpretation on. That is the be, that is always deception. That's why everything has to be lined out by the truth of the full Word of God. Are you there? Amen.

So, as I introduce this topic, uh, this afternoon, I, I want, I want you to understand that the kind of witchcraft I'm dealing with. Now, I'll try to explain various types of things, but it's, it's going to be more of a general session because here's what I found. When, and I'm smiling as I say this, when you find a group of people that love Jesus but have attachments to religious spirits, witchcraft is always behind it. It's always behind it. Fact is, over the years, I know we've asked various people that have been involved in different kinds of witchcraft. And I asked them one time a question as they were getting free of things that we were breaking off over a period of time. I said, "What spirit, what spirit do you stay away from the most?" That was easy. Religion. It's the nastiest one of them all. Religion. Religion can affect whole people groups, whole towns. Just think of it. Sorry, my voice is, I'm going to keep chewing on cough drops, so forgive me here. It, think of just, let's take it off of Christianity for a minute, then we'll put it back on. Think of all the cities in the world where religion has now dominated. I think of Rome and the Vatican. I think of Mecca. Begin to think about all of the things that, that, that empower people and people flock to of whole regions and areas. When I think of, I mean, very, uh, probably very real here, but when I think about certain cultures, certain cultures and their deities and their, their gods of religion, of course, we mentioned India earlier, and we were talking with some missionaries there, uh, in regard to just the pantheon of, I think there, somebody told me, I think I, when I was asking, there's 300, 300 million different deities that can be worshiped in India. But obviously, Shiva and some of the ones are more prominent. You go to Cambodia, you go to any of those places. But what about, what about this? What's really real, and that is in our country, big time, is the celebration of the Day of the Dead. The stuff I deal with a lot has to deal with, uh, dealing with witchcraft of Santería mixed in with Catholicism. It's a very real thing. Fact is, you probably watched movies about it. You shouldn't, but you did. But if you've watched any of the Disney stuff about honoring Grandma and Grandpa, I don't know if you know this, but the reality of the Day of the Dead is this is that there has to be an honor one day a year to keep that entity alive. That's the teaching that you see how it mingles in with. It's a good thing maybe to go to a, a gravesite and just have pleasant memories of Grandma and Grandpa or Mom and Dad. But it's another thing when the belief system says, "Every year keeps their spirit alive, and that you're responsible for keeping that spirit alive." That's the twist. Now, I could go into a lot of other things, but there is no patron saint of death. No. Just so you know. And, and fact is, if you're praying to saints, you're praying to a spirit. So I'm going to hit them all equally the same. If you, if, if you're wearing some kind of charm because St. Jude or St. Hobo or goooo or I don't care who they are. All you have done is you have put yourself yolked to idolatry and to a demonic spirit. I don't care. Let me give you another one. This is going to, this might curdle your milk. Just be better. Now, I'm going to speak for a moment on a subject that is not accepted in the American church, and that is, I touched it a little bit the other night, tattoos for the dead. Every person I've prayed with in a personal session, every person, not, not one, has ever left that session without dumping demons attached to those tattoos. Yeah. Why? Because it is a direct violation of God's Word. "Do not make engravings for the dead." Now, I have a personal opinion on some other stuff regarding tattoos, but that one is very, very clear.

Do you know why that is? No. Why? That's a great question. Okay. It's because all of the other tribes of the earth at that point had partnered themselves with a so-called little god deity. And they believe they would keep the memory of that. It's the same as Day of the Dead. They would keep the memory of that person alive and passing the torch. It was their responsibility to hold them and to keep them in eternity alive and performing. It was a form of witchcraft. Yeah. Plain and simple. Witchcraft. I don't care how much you love Bobo. I really don't. I don't care how much you love Grandma Genie. I don't care how much you love Papa. When you shed blood, when you shed blood, when you shed blood to put that date, that name to honor the dead, against what scripture says, you've opened yourself up to a curse. Yes, sir.

I don't like this guy. I don't like his preaching. I don't like what he's saying. Well, thank you, Troy. Do, do you, you understand where I'm coming from here? Yes. You, you, you, you need to understand something. You're not just partnering with something that's innocuous. It's a nothing. It's, you, you know the argument is, "You're under grace, baby. That doesn't matter. That's Old Testament." That is about as dumb as you could be. That's right. As my one friend says from South Africa, "How can you be that dumb and still breathe spiritually?" Spiritually, you are dull if you think that because everything in this world is looking to connect you to worship something and to have something that would pull you away from purity. Why do you think I'm just going to just ask you this question? Why do you think Hitler tattooed numbers on the Jewish people? It was a form of defilement. You know why it was defilement? Because they believed, like you should believe. Hello. That God made you perfect, and the body is not to be desecrated. Yeah. Do you think he did it because, you know, that's going to look cool someday? People are going to want to have tattoos, and I'm going to get in on this fashion thing before that happens. It absolutely was not a fashion thing. It was not an image thing. In fact, it was an everything to defile them because in the mindset, they wanted to destroy the fabric of what they believed and who they believed in, their God. And if you trace the history back to tattoos, see, that's what people fail to realize. If you trace the history, history back to tattoos, it always came from tribal groups to identify with their deities. That's why when you read even the history of the children of Israel, you read that they worshiped the whole starry host. You remember reading that? Three of you. Yeah. They made pacts and things with the gods of the heavens. They worshiped various things beside Jehovah. They had idols. How many, I mean, all you have to do is read the scriptures slowly and carefully, and you are actually going to see all of the pollutions that came with them. And they were doing what? The tribal entities had markings on them to identify that they were of that deity. That's why the marking. Now, here we go into the NC-17 again. That's why the marking of the children of Israel being circumcised was a marking of separation. Yeah. It wasn't a marking on their body. It was a removal from something off of their body to recognize the purity of the seed. That's so versus the seed being linked to something else. Wow. And if you understand the prophetic word, you'll understand right from the beginning that there's only two seeds that God says is going to happen. There's the seed of the serpent, and then there's the seed of the woman. And a woman can't have seed. Yeah. Hello. Yeah. We're not, we need to do church sex ed class, right? Okay. The original prophecy, please don't... my son-in-law. No, the, the original prophecy was, "The seed of the serpent shall bruise your heel, but you shall crush its head." Amen. The seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent has been the theme all through scripture. That's why Jesus in the New Testament said to the Pharisees, "I'm going to keep picking on Tom. I'm going to pick on AJ." Uh, that's why Jesus said to the Pharisees, "You are of your father the devil." Yeah. What was he saying? You weren't born of God. You were born of another seed. That seed of the serpent has been birthing seeds all along. And those seeds have been meant to actually infiltrate and to penetrate into the life of the pure seed. That's why Jesus, when he answered the parable, he said, he goes, "Lord, um, how, how did he say the..." He says, "There was a a man who sowed good seed in his field, and then they went to sleep, and in the morning they raised." He said, "Servant, the servants came to him, said, 'Lord, did you not sow good seed in your field?' He said, 'An enemy of mine has done this.'" "Should we pull them out?" "No, let them grow together. Let them grow together." They were both seeds. He didn't immediately pull the tears out. He was letting us know that the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman, that represents the seed of faith through Christ, is going to grow together all the way to the end of the age. So what does that mean? It means that you've got to deal with mixture, and it means you have to deal with a different form of power that comes from a different father than your Father in Heaven. And we see that, we see that starting. I'm going to go to the end first. I always, I always like to read the end of the book first. I don't know if anybody else likes that, but I, I kind of like that. Revelation 17, verse 1-5 says this: "Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came to me and said, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with, and with the wine of those who've drunk sexual immorality, with the dwellers of the earth who've become drunk.'" And he carried me away in the spirit to a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and 10 horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, and holding in her hand a golden cup full of the abominations and impurity of sexual immorality. And on her forehead was a name written, excuse me, a written a name of mystery: Babylon the Great, the mother of all harlots," or King James says "harlots." ESV says "of all prostitutes and of the earth's abominations." Why am I teaching on this this morning? Well, Pastor Tom is probably asking that question himself right now, too. But I'm, I'm teaching on this because I had a visitation this morning. I'm teaching on this because we've seen multiple things in this house, not necessarily connected to this house, some, some people, but in the atmosphere. And I had a woman about four foot tall this morning in the spirit come into our hotel room where I'm rooming with my one of my spiritual sons. And she was wearing pink and had gemstones of purple and scarlet, representing amethyst and ruby and sapphire and pearls. And she looked at me. She had gray, stringy hair. She had a mole on the left top. And she looked at me. And when I felt it in the room before I saw her, I wanted to just kind of fall asleep. I was up, awake, ready to go. And that, that tingling, and I've felt it so many times because I've dealt with it so much. That, that sensation of just, that sensation of just, "I am so tired. I'm so just exhausted," came all over me. And I, I, man, and I, I'm still praying for healing, but I'm diabetic. So I went and immediately checked my sugars. I'm like, "Am I going into a, a low?" Because that's kind of what it feels like. So I check my sugars. Nope, you're running high. Uh, so it, in that, you know, and so then I come back out on the side of the room where AJ, I said, "You're going to have to pray for me." I said, "I just feel like somebody just pulled the, the plug on me this morning." I mean, I know my voice is hoarse, but I mean, I have no strength, and I just had strength. It's like it's been instant. So, he starts praying, and it was a good prayer. I, I, it was a good prayer. I know the time, I, I'm like, "Bring it up a little bit," but he did good. And, uh, and, uh, he prayed that prayer, and I said, "We wait." And I said, "We just need to wait on the Lord to show me." And as we waited on the Lord, I saw her walk in the room and look by me just with this kind of this nasty little smirk and out of the room. I shook my head. I thought I was just, I was kind of like, "Why would I be thinking about some old gal in a white shirt with a pink sweater with jewels on it?" And then the Lord spoke to me. He goes, "That's who's just cursed you." And so we began to break off the curse of witchcraft. And, and, um, so hence that's why I'm teaching on it this morning. I will tell you, I've been in sessions over the years with people. Let me tell you how witchcraft works in the church. First of all, witchcraft works when you begin to hear the Word of God. If witchcraft is operating, one of the things that they'll, you'll do, and you'll see this if, if you're a pastor of any sort and on a ministry team, you'll watch in the congregation between your major teaching nights, you'll watch the same person fall asleep at about the same time at the same message where they'll just all of a sudden just nod off every week. That's witchcraft operating. Yeah, it is. I've had people in a session where I am actually barking at them, "You're coming out in Jesus' name." That's not a sleeping deal where I'm like pushing on their shoulder and all of a sudden they just go, and snore. Yeah, it does. That ticks me off. Okay. And I'm like, "I didn't recognize it when I first got into deliverance ministry and all of a sudden people were going to sleep as I'm praying in personal sessions with them." And I'm like, "Am I that boring?" I was almost about ready to receive a spirit of rejection. I mean, I, I literally could not figure out what was taking place. I mean, Bobby, I'm, I get you're getting up there in age, but I mean, I, I feel like you and I engage pretty well. I would be offended if all of a sudden you just... I am too. Yeah. Yeah. And, and I'm, I finally had to go to the Lord. I said, "Lord, I don't know what this is. Is it me? Do I need to, is like my delivery, you know, do I need to get more fired up? Do I need to speak louder? Do I need to like shake him when I'm praying for him? What do I got to do?" He goes, "Well, how about you just be spiritually alert and recognize you're dealing with witchcraft?" That's right. You see, God doesn't really talk to me very nice all the time. I mean, He loves me. I know that He loves me, but there are times that He has a mandate for me. It's kind of, it's never, it's never harsh or mean, but it's very direct. At least with me. I don't know how He deals with you all, but I, there's sometimes I go, "Lord, it would just be nice to do what other people do and just snuggle up on Your lap and just..." He goes, "But I've given you an assignment to do, and I expect you to do it." Yes, sir. Now, I, I, I love Him as my Father, and He is, He's filled with love. But there are things when you're, when you're, when you're under an assignment or a mandate from the Lord to do, when you're asking Him things and you're not seeing it, the best prayer you can pray is, "Lord, help. What is going on here?" And then sometimes the Holy Spirit is very clear. It's this. And when I started coming after witchcraft in sessions, when I saw the sleep, I was shocked that they would instantly go, "What happened?" I said, "You, you don't know that you fell asleep." "Well, I was listening to you and I was agreeing with you, and then all of a sudden I just, I don't remember." Well, that was the excuse I gave my dad and mom for my satin low scores test. But that, and I'm watching this. The effects of witchcraft come to bring people into slumber. It works with the spirit of religion. It comes to actually keep their mind in an unawakened state. Let me say that again. If it can get you to sleep spiritually, that's why all the scriptures, when you begin to read the New Testament over and over and over, you see it. "Stay awake. Stay sober. Stay alert." Notice what He says. "Do not be drunk with wine, which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit." "Everyone that does these things does it at night." What does night do? It removes your vision. Yeah. True. He's not just talking about a night as in day and night. He's talking about what are the effects of night. You're not children of the night. You're children of the day. What, when, when do these stuff happen? In the night. A night happens, what? When you can't see. When you're tired. When you're sleepy. What does it come to do? It tries to keep you in that state. Yeah. And what witchcraft assignments do in the church is they come to inoculate, to keep you on just enough. Uh, they can't strip you of your salvation. They don't have the ability to do that. The Bible says if you are in the Lord's hand and you've accepted Him, the Lord is with you, and you can't, no one can take you out of His hand. Now, you can walk deliberately out of His hand, but no one, no power can take you out of it. So what, what does it try to do? It tries to inoculate, to remove your sensitivity to the things of the Holy Spirit and to bring everything into a reason or rational understanding. That's why it partners with religion because if I can give you routine, if I can give you ritual, and I can just hear the priest say 14 Hail Marys and then you're absolved, it's easy for you to do a little ritual, "Hail Mary, full of grace." And then what do you do? You know, I don't even have it memorized, so I only got the first part, because I just, it just makes me so irritated. A formula, a formula, a routine, a ritual that inoculates that you don't become sensitive to the things that the Spirit of God is actually speaking to you.

Now, while we're reading Revelation 17, you need to understand the picture that you're looking at. The picture that you're looking at here is this woman. This woman represents the seed of the serpent, the false seed that's been there all along. Now, I, I, I don't have hours and hours to just throw charts up here and show you, but I am trying to give you what's on the inside here from study of scripture for, for 40 years on this type of, especially in this realm, trying to give you an understanding. The woman on the scarlet beast is the false church. That is the culmination of witchcraft. Her desire, listen to me, the, the desire of witchcraft is never just to keep it to a few hardened sellouts of, let's just say, black witchcraft and covens and, and that that has its elements and we can talk about that. But the goal of witchcraft is to pervert the body of Christ. Just like, just like why spirits are coming in. What is it? It's a form to try to defile the body of Christ. What better way to use another spirit to now use the Holy Spirit in an inappropriate way, bring mixture, deception, defilement, and dress in all of the things. So when John sees the dress, and that's what you have to understand, when he sees the dress, she's wearing scarlet. She's wearing purple. She's wearing the colors of the tabernacle. She's wearing the color that represents the blood. She's wearing purple that represents the king. And instead of on a white horse, she's on a beast. That beast has seven heads and 10 horns. It is the law. Excuse me.

Up and out. Yeah. Up and out. It's the law. Yes. Out. Come on. It's the law. I want you to find him the hardest session this afternoon. All right. It's the law of evil. The 10 horns represent 10, the powers of evil. The seven heads represent all of the collective world power or the things of, of heads of, of divisions. And I can't go into the fullness of it, but think of it this way. They all, the seven heads are a picture or a reverse picture of the seven spirits that are on the Lamb of God. Yeah. Everything that you're seeing in that picture with the harlot that's riding and the false church or the, and the, the mother of all prostitutes, the mother of all harlotry, is an exact opposite of what the bride should look like with Jesus. But this is a bride. The picture is a bride that has now taken control of the things and the gifts and the graces and used it for her own manipulation. And that's why she doesn't ride on a white, clean horse. She rides on a beast that wants to devour. That's the picture. And that's the nature of witchcraft. It is a, it's a power that comes to inoculate and keep people simple. But those that operate in it, it invigorates because they're writing something to be able to manipulate it for their own purpose.

So when I said witchcraft is not eye of Newton, leg of frog, witchcraft at its basic level, why it partners with religion, and why it always ends up being the false church or the idolatrous church, is its basic line is it's control. Yeah. It's control. Witchcraft is the desire to control. It looks to control situations. It looks to control people. It wants to shape and direct according to what it desires. Yes. Now listen, it will be used by any person that desires to be noticed. The, we have, we have the literally, I, I mean, there's no way I'm going to be able to get through these notes. I'm just, I'm laying it out through the Bible. God gives a huge amount of scriptural inventory to deal with the spirit. Yeah. Because it is something that the church faces. Now, if you are, if you're one of those folks that say, "Well, I don't know if I've ever read anything in the Bible about witchcraft," you probably ought to read again, because the Bible is very clear in the last two books of the Bible, Jude especially. Jude references three spirits, and his reference is what? Spirit of Korah, spirit of Cain, and the spirit of Balaam. Yeah. All those three were in operation in the New Testament church. They're still in operation now. Spirit of Korah is a spirit of just, I'll just lay it out. It's connected to witchcraft. It's rebellion. How do we know that? Well, because when I didn't get to it here earlier, but when Samuel dealt with Saul because of his rejection, and when he dealt with King Agag and the Amalekites, he did not obey the fullness of the Lord. And Samuel looked at him and said, "Saul, to obey is better than the fat of rams and the, and the, and the sacrifice." Obedience is better than all sacrifice and worship. Amen. It's the foundation of how you know you're walking in the Word of the Lord is obedience. Any form of deviation from it, the Bible says, and then Samuel quotes it. He says, "For rebellion," and, and I'll give you two different translations, "Rebellion is as witchcraft," or some translations say, "Rebellion is as divination and stubbornness is as idolatry." Yeah. So when you're dealing with witchcraft and you're dealing with in the church, you're dealing with at the core, God taking the wonderful. See, Saul answered the prophet, said, "But I did obey the Lord." Samuel looked at him and says, "No, you didn't." Right? "What is the bleating of sheep I hear in my ear?" Well, I obeyed the Lord with all the things that looked that needed to be destroyed, but I saved the best to sacrifice to the Lord your God. Do you see that's how witchcraft works? Witchcraft works always with, "I can add to what God says. I can change the parameters." I started this meeting with the boundaries that are established by the Word of God and by the leaders. Why do you think those have to be there? Because when witchcraft gets exposed, when it wants to take things past the boundaries of what is established by God. And the Word of God and the Spirit of God will always expose something when it moves past when we take what Jesus said in purity and in power, and then we add to it, or we manipulate it, or we, we add to the things or stretch the things or take away from things that would bring honor to us. You see, part of the reason witchcraft worked in Saul, because I'm tying this off of rejection. I'm trying to make it, I'm not trying to. It is connected. The reason witchcraft worked with Saul was because of his rejection. Yes. The idolatry of how he thought of himself, of how he needed to be big in his own mind, but yet struggled with the idea that he was so small. Is he, he, he breached into the realm of what was to stay pure and true under the anointing to try to now make himself look to the prophet and to God as he was a premium worshipper and that he was a premium follower of Yahweh. And yet he violated the very tenets of the Word given. That's how you know that a spirit of witchcraft is afoot. It's the very thing that Jezebel does. And you remember that story. It's not just a story. It's an account. And it was a physical woman, but it's not a physical woman's spirit. It is a real demonic spirit.

So you got Korah, which I started with. Let's go back to where I started. Korah, which is rebellion. Rebellion against what? The Lord's anointed and the set boundaries of who He calls. Because Korah's instance was, "We all are priests. You take too much on yourself, Moses. We all have censers. We all burn incense." Yes, you do. Because God chose you as Levites. But now you're coming against not just the principle. You want what God's asked me to do? Witchcraft always looks to usurp authority. You want to know what the seed place of witchcraft starts with? It starts with a disdain for authority at some level. True. It's one of the signs that you can begin to, when, when something, when you don't want covering, when you don't want pastors or elders to know, that is the first sign of witchcraft operating. Because it's demonic control. Because Jesus would never say, "I've anointed these people. I've actually put a commission on them." I mean, I'm, I'm quoting you the Word of God now that says, you know, "Let submit yourselves then to the elders. Let them rule over you. Let them do it with gladness, for that would be of profit to you." Meaning, it's actually to, it will actually cause you a blessing if you allow them to do that. That's what they're there for. But when the Holy Spirit is never going to say, "Yes, I've put them in places. I've anointed them. I've blessed them. I've given them as gifts to the church, but I really don't want you to use them because I just did that as figureheads. I really don't believe in anything I'm doing in anointing them. I want you to keep it to yourself and tell it to other people." Dumb as a box of rocks, spiritually, that we don't think this through. The reason He gives them the grace gifts and places people, now they have to operate in the character and integrity of the scriptures, but He, the Holy Spirit will never tell you to bypass that. That's right. He'll never tell you to bypass. Just like husbands and wives, there will never be a moment that the Holy Spirit tells you, "You don't have your husband or your wife involved in this thing that you're hearing from God or that you're in ministry." That's just for you and me. The minute you hear "just you and me," ought to scare the living tar out of you. Why? Because "you and me" is the beginning voice of deception. That's how witchcraft works. It comes, it, listen, witchcraft works with a seducing. Remember what it says. I mean, I, I, I, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to teach you like you're a bunch of kindergarteners in class here, but remember the scriptures that says in the last days there will be deceiving and seducing spirits. What are we in? Last days. Now, we might not be in the last of the last days in the last three and a half years, but we're in the first, what the Bible calls the last days. Guess when that started? That started in Acts chapter 2. And last days started there when the Bible says in Joel, as he's quoting, and the Holy Spirit comes, "In the last days, my sons and daughters shall prophesy, my old men shall dream dreams, my young men shall see visions, and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." And they shall prophesy. The last day started when God released His Holy Spirit for all of His redeemed church to operate in it. When did witchcraft and deceiving spirits get released? Acts chapter 2. Yeah. They had been there all along in various places confronting the anointing. But now, when the anointing came to the church, to up and out, I'll say it myself. When it came to the church, to ushers. Yeah. When it came to the church to bring them into the fellowship of the Holy Spirit and to walk in the power of the anointing, when the anointing was only established for prophets, kings, and priests. God broke that old covenant model, gave us a better covenant, a new covenant, and said, "Now I'm going to give everybody the anointing. Everybody will know the Lord, and the anointing that abides will teach you." So hell had to do what? Release spirits to begin to try to pervert the anointing. Yes, that's right. It had to fight at a different level. Yeah. Now, it doesn't win, but its goal is to infiltrate and to do and to bring the church into a slumber, thinking that spiritual gifts, platform, ministry, or the ability to control, now I'm not talking just church, control your family, control your lives. Yeah. What is, is a okay thing. It's not okay. It comes from a platform that says you are operating in idolatry. Yeah. You see, that's what gave Jezebel power. Yes. That's what gives the harlot here power of all immorality. See, when the Bible talks about immorality, he's not just talking about sexual fornication or adultery. When the Bible talks immorality, all through scripture, he associates his people with immorality associated with idolatry. So when Israel began to worship God and then worship the Baals, he called that what? They were committing immorality against Him. Y. When Israel decided to worship the Ashtoreths, when Israel decided to worship every form of of deity, whether it was Molech or Chemosh of Ammon and Moab or whatever deity they, they mingled themselves with, God called it immorality and adultery, and that the Israel played the harlot. He wasn't just talking about sexual the act, okay? He wasn't talking about that. He used that outer expression to show the inward nature of the heart. So when he gets to the picture at the end in Revelation, and he says, "Here is the woman that has Babylon, the great harlot, the mystery, the mystery of all mysteries, the great prostitute of all the earth." He's not talking about that she is that, that, that she is some paid street walker that can be included in it. He's talking about that it's both male and female who have lived their lives with mixture rather than purity, taking on the garments, the power, and the authority of the anointing and using it for their own purposes and their own ways. That's why it says, "All of the kings of the earth have drunk from the wine of her cup, and all the people have been intoxicated by it." Why? The whole goal of, of, of harlotry, spiritual harlotry, is to get you intoxicated. That control and power to do what you want with God approving of it is the best way to move in the gifts. You see, there's the difference. The platform is over here. Here's the evil. I'm going to take the...

Anointing, the word of God, and I'm going to use it for selfish gain, to gain notoriety, to gain it for myself, to control situations of what I think is best. And I'll use God's stamp for it. Versus here I am. I'm studying God's word, loving God's word, but I recognize I have boundaries of the scripture, and I've got to constantly check to make sure my soul is submitted to the word and the spirit, and that I never use the scriptures or the anointing or the gifts of the spirit to control or the destiny of others. I only give it as the Lord says it because they're His sheep.

Yes. And I don't use this to control my family. And I don't use it to control other people. Why? Because I recognize that the only way that the anointing is going to stay pure is I stay yielded and constantly checking my soul. Because my soul is always prone to get out of alignment.

Over here, there's whole theologies that whatever you think and what you believe, you just partner with. That is bad mama jama. That means that there is a spirit of Babylon that is getting ready to partner with you because it is easy for you just to put on, just like that little figure that came in my room. It's easy to put on a vest that has all the jewels that represent spiritual power.

Yeah. And so when you take the white linens that's supposed to be the garments that every bride of Christ is to wear, and you take the red that represents the scarlet blood of Jesus Christ, and you put them together, what do you get? You get what I saw? You see a woman wearing pink, that's the mixture of righteousness, the self-righteousness and the blood of Christ, and wearing the jewels that operates in witchcraft to seduce and to control people. Are you there?

Okay. Well, I got to one verse in the notes that you put in. All that time, I just kind of preached that out of one verse. Okay. I know we hit a lot of things. I want to pray against a spirit of control and witchcraft.

So, up and out, buddy. Yeah. Can I get a little music that will rouse some of this stuff? I, I need you to understand. I, I, I throw in some comedy from time to time because it is a very serious subject, and you know, when you're dealing with demonic stuff, sometimes it can get so intense, and we try to have some fun with it. But in all honesty, this is a very serious thing in the body of Christ, not just at Two Rivers. It's all over.

Yes. And especially if you're in a region where there are assignments that are constantly coming to keep the people of God, I'm going to call it inoculated, keep them spiritually unaware, cover them with pride, cover them with the internal root system, and then pastors not thinking to actually test the root systems. Because some of the marks of witchcraft are: number one, hatred of authority, despising anyone. Listen, if it's male, they're going to despise any female that's been given delegated authority. If it's female, it's going to despise any male that's been given delegated authority. There will also be a, an evidence that there will be some form of always looking to have a closeness to the person who makes the final decision.

A spirit of witchcraft will never, and control will never be content just to be a servant of the Most High God and do whatever is taken. It will always position itself to move to get to a place where it can get the ear of the person that makes the decisions.

It will, if we're studying Jezebel, or we're studying Balaam, or we're studying some of the other spirits that I listed. The issue is, it will always try to work. Excellent choice. It will always work with the prophetic. It will always try to slide in and have a form of intercessory insight and prophetic. Always having a word, always ready to minister. That's what makes it so difficult to unmask. But you've got to get back down to the root system.

You've got to get back down into the root system. When the banks of the river and the purity of God's word and the authority of the house come together, whether it's your own house, and all of a sudden there's a bucking or a resisting against it, not just once, but over and over, you're revealing that which is there at the root. That desire to control, that desire to control. The Bible says that the church is to honor everything. When you read in Ephesians 5, as the bride of Christ, we are to see that we respect our husbands in all things. He was speaking, Paul said, listen, I wrote this, but I'm speaking primarily of Christ and the church.

The first response of Ephesians 5:25 and following is not husband-wife relationship. It actually was church-husband relationship. See that she obeys Him in all things. That's the response of the church. When the church says, "I'll obey in some of the things," that's when it becomes a soul.

I want to be known and seen by people as responding and obedient. But in my heart, I've made compromises. I've added to and I skirt around issues where it makes me where I might look bad or I might have to have accountability. Root of control and witchcraft. So, Father, in Jesus' name, Lord, as we pray today, I thank you now. I thank you now that you're exposing agendas. I thank you now that you're exposing false power. Lord, you're exposing control. You're exposing, Lord, this thing that comes to deceive, this thing that comes to seduce. And Father, in Jesus' name, in the name of Christ, I come with the blood of Jesus against every one of those spirits that come to malign, that come to disdain holy authority, holy boundaries, that come to look for place and position, that come to exalt, Lord, even use the anointing and the spirit of God as a badge to stay in control. I renounce it in Jesus' name. And if that is where you're at, you need to repent right now and say, "God, if that, if I, you appointed some things in my life, I recognize it and I repent of it right now. It's operating in my mind. It's operating in how I think. I've had disdain against my wife, or I've had disdain against my husband. I've had disdain against godly authority. I've had disdain and I've hated, I've hated being having anything close to being corrected because I've had a misunderstanding of what correction is." For the Bible says correction is love.

Yes. And I partnered with that spirit of rejection that's opened the door to witchcraft and control that says any form of correction and any form of judgment will not touch me. That is a spirit of witchcraft, and I break its power now. I break it. There it is. I break its power now in Jesus' name. And you're coming out of me now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You're coming out of me now. Every form of control, every form of witchcraft, every form that comes to move, to shift, to manipulate, to seduce, I begin to break your curse. Go, go, go, go. I said the blood of Jesus is breaking every partnership. The blood of Jesus is breaking every partnership. The blood of Jesus is breaking every partnership. Witchcraft, you're going. Witchcraft, you're going. That which was sent to this house. That which was sent to this house this week. I'm breaking the power of that spirit now. Every form of inoculation, every form of sleepiness and slumber, I break your curse in Jesus' name. And I declare there's an awakening happening in the soul and in the spirit now in Jesus' name. And I speak right now to every spirit of control. And I name you, every spirit of rebellion, chorus spirit. I break your curse. You liar. You rebellious spirit that comes out of a foothold of rejection, out of a foothold of not being selected. It's actually spiritual covetousness. You want what somebody else has. You want what somebody else has. We take that now by the authority of Christ and we bring it under the cross and we bring it under the blood of Jesus. We say in Jesus' name, covetousness and rebellion, you're a liar. You're leaving the people of God. You're going now. Drive it out.

Drive it out. Covetousness and rebellion that's working with witchcraft, we're driving you out now in Jesus' name. Go, go, go, go. Come on. Don't speak in tongues. Just drive it out. Just take some deep breaths. You're coming out of me. You're coming out of me. Every form of witchcraft, every form of rebellion, you're going in the name of Jesus. Come on. Loose. Loose. Loose. Loose. That's it. Loose. Thank you. Thank you, Lord. Come on, loose in Jesus' name. Every form of control, we stand against you now. Every form of witchcraft that seduces, that seduces to idolatry, to the idol of self, to the idol of my own opinion, to the idol of my own understanding. Everything that wants to focus around me. I begin to break partnership and I repent for building a monument to myself. I repent for wanting everything to revolve around my likes, everything to revolve around my taste, everything to revolve around what I think should be done or shouldn't be done. And I break every partnership that I've had in controlling my wife, or controlling my husband, or controlling my children, or trying to control ministry, or trying to control at work through manipulation. I'll work on other people to get what I want. I'll move. I'll use position. I'll use power. I'll use authority. I'll even use God's name to get what I want. I repent of that now in the name of Jesus. I repent of that now. In the verse, we come out of that spell. Awaken. Awaken in the name of Jesus. Awaken. I'm breaking that assignment, that dreariness, that sleepiness that tries to hide. I don't want to hear the conviction of the spirit of God. I don't want to hear the confrontation of the truth. I don't want to be confronted with the light. We're breaking that curse. Those that love the light run to the light, that their deeds might be exposed. The scripture says, "Those who love the light run to the light, that their deeds might be exposed." I break every partnership with hiding. I break every partnership with trying to skirt authority. I break every partnership. The law of the Lord is my delight. Accountability, alignment is where I find freedom. Those that love You, Jesus, keep Your commands. Lord, it's there. You no longer call us servants, but friends. I break every partnership that looks to skirt. Every partnership that looks to control, every partnership that looks to seduce in Jesus' name, I break that curse. Come on. Coming out. You're coming out. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Loose and go. Loose and go. You're coming out. Witchcraft, you're coming out. Witchcraft, you're coming out. Spells and curses. Assignments. Words that were used. Words that were used over husband or over wife. Emotions that are stirred of disdain and repulsion at authority. I break your partnership. I don't want you anymore. I said, "Every spirit that repulses at authority, every spirit that repulses at boundaries, every spirit that's being repulsed by godly truth and light, I break its partnership now." That's on the inside of the heart. Come on. We're breaking that curse now. We're breaking that curse now. I said the Lord, the Lord Jesus Christ came to destroy and breaks the yoke of slavery. Breaking. We are not going to tolerate. Jesus said to the church in Thyatira in Revelation chapter 2, He said, "Because I gave you time to repent and you didn't, that you tolerated the spirit." We're no longer going to tolerate it. We're going to look at it as what it is. It might come in a seducing, in a loving, even in a powerful platform that has brought even words, but I am not going to yield to it any longer. I am not going to yield to it any longer. I'm breaking the assignment of that seducing witchcraft spirit that causes me to eat things, to receive things that are defiled and mixture, that causes me to trade allegiances between that which is pure and righteous and holy, and that which is now offered to self with God added on top. I break that allegiance. I break that alignment. I break that work now in Jesus' name. And I said witchcraft, you're coming out, man. Witchcraft, you're coming out now. Witchcraft, you're coming out in Jesus' name. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Every form of witchcraft, you're leaving. Every form of witchcraft and control, you're coming out. Every form of witchcraft and control, you're coming out. I said manipulation, seduction, witchcraft, you're being broken in Jesus' name. Witchcraft, manipulation, seduction, you're coming out. We are rooting you out in Jesus' name. The Lord rebuke you.

The Lord rebuke you. Every form of mixture, you're leaving. Every form of mixture, every form of mixture, the worship of the soul, the worship of control. I need to control my family. I need to make the decisions. I break every assignment that says I must control to have things right. I break that curse now. I break that curse. Now, there's a spirit of self-control that works on curbing my appetites, works on curbing that which is in me of my desires. But control is not a gift of the spirit. Control is a desire to make everything in my universe align with me. I break that assignment. I break that partnership. I break that partnership. You're coming out. Witchcraft. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Witchcraft. You're coming out in Jesus' name. Every spirit of witchcraft, you're leaving now. You're leaving now. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. I said the blood of Jesus is against you. We're not going to tolerate you here, Jezebel, any longer. Korah, you're done. Jezebel, you're done. Balaam, you're done. Every spirit that has deception, rebellion, and idolatry, you're done in Jesus' name. The Lord rebuke you. The Lord rebuke you. Jezebel, Korah, Balaam, you're being destroyed. Your works, your attachments are being destroyed. Idolatry, we repent of idolatry in Jesus' name. The worship of self, the self-ways, the self-worship that everyone else must worship at my discretion. What I want, how I want it. Father, we break that alliance with every spirit of Balaam, Jezebel, Korah in Jesus' name. And Cain, knowing the right thing, knowing the right thing, I give my own sacrifice and say God should be pleased with it. Lord, I choose to obey Your word rather than my own offering. I choose to obey Your word. As Prophet Samuel said, "Is not to heed and obey better than the blood and the sacrifice of many rams and sheep?" That's right. We bring our lives under the alignment of obedience to the word of God. It's pure. It's clean. It's righteous. It's true. God's ways are not to be bargained with. God's ways are not to be traded with. God's ways are not to be manipulated. The Bible says in Revelation, "Whoever takes away from this book, whoever adds to these words shall have the full part of all that's declared in this book and in its judgment." We take seriously the word of the Lord in Jesus' name. It's holy. It's pure. It's undefiled. It's clean. It's righteous. It's true. And every other false agreement and every other manipulation I reject in Jesus' name. And I said any partnership that's found its place in me, I renounce now and I command you to come out now. Come out now. I'm evicting you from this house. I'm evicting you from this temple. I'm evicting you from my mind and my emotion in Jesus' name. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Keep going. Witchcraft, you're leaving. Witchcraft, you're leaving. Places of power. Places and positions of authority. Alignments are being shattered down. Every form of positioning in Jesus' name. We will not tolerate and dis- We will not allow disdaining of authority. We will not allow disdaining of delegated authority that's been done in purity and righteousness. We break every partnership and we break every time we've tolerated it and call it grace in Jesus' name. We break that truth, for it's not a truth. It's a mixture. We've given Jezebel unsanctified grace, unsanctified mercy. We break the alignment with it now. We break the alignment with it now. We break the alignment with it now in Jesus' name. The Lord rebuke you, Jezebel. The Lord rebuke you, Jezebel. The Lord rebuke you, Jezebel. The Lord rebuke you, Jezebel. You're not welcome in this place anymore. There's no platform for you. There's no place for you. We are severing every place and portal in which you've stood. You are not going to operate in our minds. You're not going to operate in our marriage. You're not going to operate in our ministries. You are being thrown from this place. And in the words of Jehu, as he looked up, "Who is with me?" Throw her down in the name of Jesus. We throw this spirit down in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. You're coming out. You're coming out. You're coming out. You're coming out. Witchcraft is being broken, severed, destroyed. Control, control is yielding and bending its knee to the lordship of Jesus Christ. I choose the Lord. I choose His ways. For the fear of the Lord is clean. And that's how a man and woman can find their way and make their lives pure before the Lord. God, let the fear of the Lord begin to be released now in this house. Let the fear of the Lord. It is not terror, Lord. It's a holy respect. It's an awe. It's an understanding that You are the Most High God. That nothing that You've said can be improved on. That everything that You've declared and who You are is absolutely above and beyond. Man's ways can't even touch it. And so God, we repent of trying to bring down the ways of God equal to the ways of men. It's given Jezebel a platform, and we remove that platform. We say, "Your ways are higher than our ways." We remind ourselves of Isaiah 55. "Just as My ways are higher than your ways," says the Lord, "my ways are higher than your ways." And Lord, You said, "Just as water comes down from heaven and waters the ridges, so My word from which I send comes down from My mouth, and it shall accomplish the things for which I have declared," says the Lord. That's what You say in Psalms 155. Then we bring that place of honor back to Your word. We bring a place of honor and worship back to Your holy word. Lord, not upon men, not upon position, not upon placement, not upon any of it, but on the fact that You alone are King. The King's word is absolute. The King's word is righteous. The King's word is liberty. The King's word is light. The King's word is freedom. The King's word is my joy and my life. And as Paul said in Acts 17, "In Him I live and move and have my being." In You alone, Lord, in You I live and move and have my being. I renounce all partnerships with idolatry, all partnerships with power of mixture, promotion, platform to be seen as significant. I renounce it that Jesus might be seen as lifted up, as lifted up and exalted in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let the power and the authority of Your throne be released, Lord, now. Let the power and the authority of Your throne be released now. Hallelujah. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus. Oh, let God arise. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. Oh, let the enemies of His bride, let the enemies of His house be scattered, oh God. Oh, thank You, Lord Jesus. We magnify You this morning. We magnify You in this conference. And Lord, we declare it even now. Lord, this weekend has been a good weekend. Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Lord, You've been exalted. You've been magnified. Lord, take Your rightful place. To You belongs all power, all authority, all dominion, all rule, all glory. Lord, You receive Your glory. Lord, You partner with men and women, servants to do Your will. But all glory and honor belong to Jesus.

All glory and honor belong to Jesus. And I thank You, oh God. I thank You for Your work in this house. I thank You for Your work in these leaders. I thank You for Your work in this region. And I declare even now in the name of Jesus that there would be the, the word of God would begin to increase and it would go out from this house. Lord, there'd be a cleansing in the atmosphere. There'd be a reverberating even according to the word of the Lord that was released, the shaking and the stirring of the spirit of God being released, exposing evil and strengthening the pillars of the Lord. Thank You, oh God. Thank You, oh God. I bless You and I bless Your holy name, Jesus Christ, and all of God's people said, amen. I'm going to have one of the pastors come to the front here.

Pastor Bev is going to come to the front. I think there's a microphone right here. And she's going to tell us that the conference is probably over and that when, and when church starts tonight, because I can't remember.

The conference is probably over. So, um, go have lunch. We have church service tonight at 6:00 p.m. Not 6:30, but 6:00 p.m. And then we also have church at 9 in the morning and at 11:00. So, I know some, a lot of you are sitting here thinking, "Well, I'm going to choose which service I'm going to go to." But I'm going to tell you a secret that only happens when Pastor Brad is here. Mostly, it's a different sermon every service. So, you might want to consider that. The, the, that probably the conference is going to continue. Okay. So, Father, we thank You for what You've done in this place. We thank You, Lord, that You have met us right where we are. You have met us. We thank You, Father, that You love us, that You love Your children, Lord. That Your word says that You come to set the captive free. And Father, we thank You that this weekend that You have set us free. Lord, we want all that You have for us. We want to walk with You. We want to live with You. Father, we want to be those that can say that I overcame the enemy with the word of my testimony, the blood of the Lamb, and I didn't love my life unto death. Father, we want to be those that are accounted worthy, Lord, in that end day, on that end day. Lord, we want to see, we want You to see Your blood on us, Father. We thank You, Jesus, that You have met us, that You have come, and that You have set us free. We love You and adore You. And we give You all the glory. We give You all the honor because it all belongs to You, Jesus. It all belongs to You. We love You. We adore You in Jesus' name. Amen. Okay, see you guys tonight.
