[Music] Those who obey God's Commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus. He's after us because of our testimony. He's after us us because he has lost his time is short.
In Luke 10:18, or is it 10:18, or 18? Let me see. Luke, yeah, 10:18. So this is when the 72 come back. And I just, I love this. The 72 return. 10:18, uh, yeah, 10:17, actually. The 72 returned with joy and said, Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name. So many times we miss, we dismiss that part. Demons submitted to the disciples in Jesus's name. They carried the power and authority of Christ. They saw signs, wonders, and miracles. They led the way for us. Like, it didn't die with the disciples. It didn't stop when the apostles died. The Holy Spirit didn't die. He lives in us.
And I just love this because Jesus said, he replied, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome the all. How much? All the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. You know, and so many times the church emphasizes the next part. However, do not rejoice that the serpents submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. If your name is not written in heaven, doesn't matter whether the serpent will submit to you. Because if your name is not written in heaven, you, you don't have a place with God. And Jesus says to depart from me, from people who cast out demons and healed the sick in his name, but he didn't know them. The relationship with him is key.
He says in John 17, that, let me go to it. Actually, go to John 14. He's talking to his disciples and he's asking his disciples, you know, do you, um, do you believe that the Father is in me and I'm in the Father? And they're like, just show us. And Philip is like, just show us, Jesus. And he says, Philip, have you've been with me all this time, but yet you don't know me? But sometimes there's things that are hindering us from being able to know him. And if you don't know him, go after it and go and know him. Not just know him in word, but know him in spirit and in truth. We need to know him both. I believe that we're coming into a time where we really, really, really need to know who Christ is, the hope of all glory, that he lives inside of us.
And he says, believe me, this is down in, um, John 14:11. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it. Oh, wow.
And then go over here to 14:15. It says, if you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another comforter to be with you forever. And it's the Spirit of Truth. It is, it's Jesus. It's Jesus that comes as a comforter. I'm going down to John 15. 15:16. He said, you did not choose me, but I chose you and I appointed you to bear fruit and to, um, fruit that will last. And this is, this is key. This, ouch. This is key, people. This is key.
So when we obey Christ's Commandments, it's not just the love Commandments. It's the Great Commission to go and heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead, and set at liberty the captives. And also to pray for the lepers. Like, it's, if we love God with all our heart, our mind, our soul, our spirit, and our strength, and then we love others as we love ourselves. That's our problem because we don't know how to love. And so we love people the way we love. And it's not at all. Sometimes it's with hate and jealousy and anger and whatever that spirit lingers inside of us because we haven't gotten to the root of our trauma or our struggle in life. But this, this here is key. He says, to bear much fruit, lasting fruit, then my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my commandment, love each other. Oh, like the more we allow God to love us, we can love others. He first loved us so that we could love him. And sometimes things hinder us from being able to love. And that's what we want to go after. Like, yes, it is finished on the cross. Like I showed you, it is finished. It is done. It's complete. But why are we struggling? There's things that we have to overcome. It says to renew your mind. So until our mind is renewed, until our heart is renewed, we're going to struggle. You know, we need to learn how to take every thought captive.
And I really pray that as you do your homework, listen to some of the videos that we're putting out there. Um, we're going to put out there two, three videos from Bear Creek, two about why you need deliverance and one is about unforgiveness. We also have, will have the videos up sometime tomorrow from Craig Miller. It is really good, key ways to go after wholeness, to get rid of the emotions that are attached to trauma. Like, I do believe that it's a work in progress, and I'm not where I should be, but I'm not where I was yesterday either. And we need to continue to grow and need to continue to walk this out.
In John 17, it says, John, [Applause] 17:4. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory that I had before the world began. We have that same ability to finish what we were called to. Scripture says that if without a vision, man will perish. We need to dream. We need to be visionary. We need to see where God is calling us. We need to have that relationship. And that relationship will open your eyes to see where you're going, what you're going to do, and how to do it by faith.
And so, 13, I am going to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. He gave us his full measure of his joy. Oh, man. We shouldn't be acting like Eeyores. If you're acting like Eeyores, you need to figure out how to be Tigger, you know, be Tiggerific and jump around and have fun. And, you know, even when you get stopped by the enemy, someone is head, jump around, have fun. Like, punch the enemy in the face. Not people. You thump the enemy. It's not people. We're going after the spirit. And it's not about going after the spirit. You just go and you heal the sick, you cast out demons, you raise the dead, and you set at liberty the captives. And tomorrow you wake up, it's like, hey, what God? I need a plan. Where do I go? You get up, you go raise the dead, heal the sick, cast out demons, and set at liberty the captives. Like, God, I need a plan. Go heal the sick, raise the dead, set at liberty the captives. And whatever, it doesn't matter what your call is. Go heal the sick, raise the dead, set at liberty the captives, and, uh, cast out demons. Like, when we do that, God will show you what to do. When you do the little, it will extend your tent pegs. You know, when, when he called me out of my home, it wasn't because I was sitting on a couch praying. Yes, I was praying, but I was going out and I was seeing people get healed and set free. I was setting the captives free. I didn't raise any dead yet, but I have tried. I've laid on bodies. I'm just telling you, like, that's scary. You know, we did, you know, was a really good friend of ours, and I was pissed off at the enemy and I'd be like, be darned if you're going to take my friend. If anyone would come back, that girl would have came back. Like, but I think when she met her maker, she's like, I'll forget y'all. I'm like, staying in glory. You know? But if we never step out and try, we're never going to know.
And if it's something hindering you from being able to go, if you have fear in your life, get it out. If you have jealousy, anger, and frustration, get it out. Like, don't let the enemy destroy you anymore. Because when you stand before God someday, you can't say, how whoa is me, I'm just a worm. You know, hey, you know what? My father did this to me, God. And you know what? It ain't about your father. It ain't about your mother. It ain't about your pastor. It's about what did you do with what he gave you? What are you going to do with what he gave you? You know, I'm like, I'm really afraid for people. Like, I have this feeling inside that this year, it can be one of the greatest moments of our life or one of the worst moments of our life. And we have the control right now. If we would go out into those streets and see people get saved and set free and healed, can you imagine what the Americans can be like? Like, can you imagine what Brazil could be like if y'all go out there and see people get set free? Amen. Like, as you go to work, as you go to the grocery store, look for who God is highlighting. It might be to see the same person walk past you three times. It's like, hey, by any chance, do you have maybe a hip problem? How do you know? Like, I don't, but can I pray for you? You know, it just takes a chance. You may never see that person ever again. If you're afraid to do it in your own city, go to Hagerstown. Hagerstown probably would love to see people get set free. And the more people we get set free, I know Laura would love for you to come over there because did you know, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, is it the third most suicides by drugs in our, in our state? That county, Fulton County, I'm pretty sure. McCallsburg, I'm not 100% sure, but that's, that's on our watch. There's a big thing in Kensington Park in Philadelphia. Go down there. But even, I mean, this is within a 20-minute drive. Like, so many people are dying. And the churches are up on the hills and in the valleys and they're like, oh, let's, let's just pray. Let's just pray.
When I stand before God, I pray that I know him. That I know him because I served with him. That I did stuff with him. And when you do stuff with him, you get to know the lover of your life. When you're, like that little kid, and you're on Daddy's leg, and you're just going everywhere where Daddy goes, you don't want to leave him. You know, you know, and he's not going to shake you off his leg like your earthly dad or kick you in the butt because you keep bugging him. He's like, come on, baby girl. Come on, baby boy. Let's go. Let's go rock this world.
And so what if every time we see somebody accept Christ, and not by words only, but they encounter Jesus because they experienced his goodness? That Jesus sees Satan fall from heaven like lightning. What if every time somebody accepts Jesus, that Satan falls? That that community has one less demonic stronghold. That principality has one less stronghold. And it starts to leave because it doesn't have anybody else to hold on to because people are getting set free. Our communities need this. True. I tell you what.
[Music] I'm, this is like, but he's coming in us first. And if we don't go and take the power and authority that is in us and let him rise up in us and have the confidence, the boldness, and the courage of Christ in us, the hope of all glory, to stand like Peter and John before this Sanhedrin and say, you know what? I don't care what you think I should say, but I'm not going to deny what God tells me to say. I'm going to speak what he calls me to say. Like they stood before, were these people that could beat them, they could kill them. They just saw Jesus go to the cross and die from these people. They didn't have any fear. But they saw such a confidence and a boldness in these guys, and they said, we know that you've been with Jesus. Like, that's what I want. I want my tombstone to say, she had been with Jesus. She was known to be with Jesus. I don't, I don't need a title. I don't care what you call me. I am a son, daughter of the Most High. And I love my Daddy. And if you got a problem with that, then you got a problem with God. Because I'm going to serve him, and I'm going to go after the enemy. And if it means to rip out strongholds and religious spirits and pull down people out of high places, I don't care what it is. But we need to shake up this, this place where we live. We need to shake up our state and our country. Because if we don't, it is on our watch.
And what if, what if we are the generation that can make a difference in the world? What if the United States is a nation that everyone is waiting for them to stand up so that they have confidence to do the same thing? What if the world is waiting for Americans to stand up so that they can have the boldness to stand up in Iraq and Iran and all the underground churches? The enemy don't care that there's underground churches as long as they're not making a movement in the governments. He don't care if you have large churches as long as you don't make a change in your culture. We need to stop being afraid of what man can do, and we need to start being more afraid of what God can do. And the fear of God is not being afraid he's going to smite me, but that it's such a love that I want to, I want to do because I love him. I don't want to ever do anything that I regret. But you know, when you do something that you regret, Daddy is there. He's like, come on. Like, just pick yourself up. Let me pick you up, and let's go thump the enemy for it. You know, it's not about shame on you because, because God knows when you're going to fall and how you're going to fall, and he's going to bring people alongside of you. And it's not about being afraid to fall. It's about being afraid not to do something.
And we need to stop sitting on the couch and what if. Well, what if I'm standing in, go in heaven someday and, and I'm like, God, I'm sorry, but I was afraid. I was afraid to go out there, talk to those people. And he's like, well, you didn't know me. You didn't trust me. You didn't let me go with you. I don't know what he's going to say. He might say, hey, baby girl, baby boy, it's okay. I got you. His grace might be so huge that it might open up and just let you come in. But I don't want to take that chance for the grace card. I don't want to walk on earth not living a life worthy to be in heaven and expect him to let me in there. That we can't do that anymore. Like our world has changed so much that we need to know who we are in Christ so we can let him rise up in us and that we can step across the Jordan on dry land carrying the Ark of the Covenant because it's Christ we carry him into our promised land and we see hell under our feet and he has foot marks on his forehead because he can't get up anymore. He's a snake, he's a worm, he is nothing. But we have to stand in it.
So if there's anything that you feel that you want changed in your life, let's, let's see it happen tonight. And if not, there's no worries. You know, if you're, if you want to wait, that's fine. God knows where you are. And God will wait. You know, but don't wait too long. You know, we're going to offer this again. And, you know, the biggest thing is we want you to start walking out wholeness. And we want you to go after the enemy. And we want you, and the way you go after the enemy is get rid of the lies that you believe, get rid of the trauma, get rid of the emotion. And go and see God show up in the streets. Watch fear die when you step out of your boat. God is there. And he's not going to let you sink or drown. He's got a life preserver if you need it. But he didn't let Peter drown, and he's not going to let you drown.
All right, you guys hear anything? All right. Um, we're going to end early tonight. And, um, we got a lot for you guys all to you want. And if you need a team to come to your location, let us know. And yes, I would love to come to Brazil. Hakel, but we have to wait till September. I think that's when my ear is up. I was just going to say that. That is so mean. Just said if you need a team to come. I'm sorry, my travel for September. H. Yeah, he told me a year. Um, it might be the end of August, but he told me a year. And I believe that why it is is because we have our election coming up. And it is detrimental for the United States to rise up this year. And it's not about our election. It's about the people rising up and being who they're called to be and taking control and power of all the mountains, government, business, arts, whatever, education, family, family, um, the movie industry, religion. And it's time that we take control back. It doesn't matter who's going to be in office. But if we take control back and we're in the government, God is going to reign and rule. He can reign and rule through politicians. And I'm excited to see more politicians start to stand up. And my prayers are being more and more severe and more and more pointed to God, set them on fire for you or move them out of the way. Set them on fire for you or move them out of the way. Stop allowing people hurt people, especially people who say they're Christians and they're not Christians. Get them out of the way. God, get them out of the [Music] [Music] way. [Music]
