Our heavenly father, we give you praise, glory, and honor. [Music] There is no God like you. You reign forever. We welcome you, Holy Spirit. Come and speak unto us by your word in season. Someone is desperate out there, and they want to hear from you. They want to receive something that will take them to another level in the name of Jesus. Father, touch them. Fulfill the desires of their hearts. We thank you, Lord. All the glory comes to you, Lord, because it's you who is going to minister to your children by your spirit, in Jesus' name. And everyone say amen. Amen. Somebody say amen.
Once again, I welcome you. It's another evening. Take your seat and invite someone. Send a link to someone. Yesterday I told you war is about to break out. We are about to fight in a serious manner. Let me tell you what kind of fight brings progress in your life: when you fight because you are attacked, you don't take new territories; you only experience deliverance. That's all you get when you fight because you are under attack. You get deliverance. You get your freedom. You get restoration. And restoration doesn't mean something new; there's something you had, and then you lost it, and now you are fighting to recover. I'll tell you what kind of fighting brings progress. This is the kind of fight that you set out to take over territories. You decide to fight not because you are under attack; you decide to fight because you want progress. You want advancement. You want to shift to another level. You want new territories. It requires a level of fighting to do that.
In times of old, old times, kings used to go to war. Some kings, they deliberately go to war so that they can expand their territory, their their their empire. But some kings they would fight to survive because someone wants to take over their territory. Which king are you? You are a king. But which one? The one who is fighting to survive or the one who says, "I want to expand"? My advice to you, decide to fight to grow. There is no increase in life without a crash. There must be a clash somewhere. There is no extension without conflict. If you keep running away from conflicts, you will not expand. Your territory will not be enlarged. For your territory to enlarge, you must be a warrior. Tonight, receive the spirit of a warrior in Jesus' name. I said tonight, receive the spirit of a warrior in Jesus' name. I'm sent to prepare you for war. But this kind of war that you're going to fight this week will cause you to take more ground in your life. I told you to identify things that you need to fight for. [Music] Some of them could be some weaknesses. Yes. But some of these things should be desires of your hearts that you've been trying to get or receive. Some spiritual qualities that you've been desiring, but you're not getting them because the enemy has camped around them. There are strongholds built around them. You can't take over unless you pull down those strongholds. Strongholds, they are strong protections against or around something valuable. [Music] Things that the devil has held so hard. He doesn't want you to achieve. He doesn't want you to get them. He doesn't want you to experience them. Those kind of things. You don't receive them while you're watching your series on your TV. They are only found on in a battleground. You must decide tonight. If you don't want to fight, you are giving up some valuables that God has prepared for you. You are my children of God. Stop this ignorance of thinking that if God has promised you something, therefore you don't have to fight. That is a lie. Read about the children of Israel. Did God promise them the the promise the the the land of Canaan? Didn't he promise them? But when they got there, what happened? There is no one inch they got without fighting from the first city called Jericho. Even when God pulled down the strongholds, the walls of Jericho, he told them after the walls have fallen down, climb inside and begin to fight. There was a small village [Music] called Joshua made a mistake. He thought because it's a small village, it's a walk over, there won't be any serious fight. He was wrong. He sent people, and they came back running. Are you hearing me? Because he sent them without thorough preparations.
Now hear me very well. There is war ahead of you, whether you like it or not. If you don't want to fight, there's something else you are choosing. You are choosing to be ruled by the devil. And I believe you don't want to be ruled by the devil. So you have to fight. Fight. Fight. But in order to fight successfully, you need to prepare for war. I started hinting that yesterday. Let me go back to it today. Glory be to the Lord Jesus. I want us to read the Bible. We read a little bit on James 4:7 to 10. [Music] But I was actually quoting today. Let's go back and read that place. We will also read another passage from verse 7, James chapter 4. Therefore submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. [Music] Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you doubleminded. Lament and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he will lift you up. Praise the name of the Lord.
How do you prepare for war? If you want to make a spiritual attack against evil spirits that you've detected that they are holding you back from reaching into new territories, how do you prepare yourself? [Music] If you want to reach out to enlarge your territories, enlarge your territories. [Music] Yes. If you want to enlarge your territories and the devil is resisting, [Music] you cannot succeed unless unless you deal with him first. This is a reality. Many people fail in many things, and they want to think it was just a coincidence. They don't want to to accept that there is war going on. But if you want to resist the devil until he flees from you, you have to build a strong relationship with God first. There is no way you'll ever succeed in spiritual warfare and your relationship with God is in shambles; you receive a backlash from the enemy. There are people who've suffered a lot, and they don't know the reason why they are suffering. They thought simply because you can pronounce in the name of Jesus, therefore you can do that anytime you want without any preparations; [Music] pronouncing all wrath, I would say yelling the name of Jesus [Music] as shouting louder does not guarantee you victory [Music] unless you are legitimately using that name of Jesus. If you are not in a good relationship with, and the devil knows it, and you don't care about that, and you go to war, there's a big chance you'll be injured. War is war. You hit, and the enemy will be beating. Yesterday we read a verse. War broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought. They fought against the devil. And the Bible says that the devil and his angels, the dragon and his angels fought. He wasn't just crying there. You're rebuking. No, the Bible says he fought, [Music] and people don't want to accept this. They think if you are born again, anytime you can rebuke the devil successfully. I agree with you. You can rebuke him. But something else needs to come in between. There has to be a preparation. Mending your relationship with God, submitting to him, making sure that you are closer to him. Draw closer to him. Draw near to him. Then you'll be safe to engage yourself in war. [Music] Build certain disciplines. I taught you about disciplines. You can go back and learn that in the previous messages. There are people who launch spiritual warfare at the same time they want to enjoy sin. Please hear me very well. Don't say I didn't tell you. You can't be fighting here and then going back to play in the territory of your enemy. [Music] He will finish you. There is spiritual warfare, my friend. It's a reality. Many people are suffering from backlash, and they don't understand. The devil is revenging. You can't possibly be saying in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, and then tomorrow you're back in the same strange kind of life, going to play in the devil's backyard. [Music] You are presenting yourself as a gift to him. He will deal with you properly. That's that's not how you fight battles. When you want to go to a to fight, prepare yourself. Mend your relationship with God. Are we together, children of God? Somebody shout hallelujah. [Music]
Listen to this in the book of John chapter 1, verse 5-10; [Music] first John 1, verse 5-10; first John 1, verse 5-10. The Bible says this is the message which we have heard from him and declare to you that God is light and in him is no darkness at all. [Music] [Music] Verse verse six, the Bible says, "If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. [Music] But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another. And the blood of Jesus Christ, his son, cleanses us from all sin. [Music] [Music] Verse eight. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. [Music] Verse nine. If we confess our sins, if we confess our sins, if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [Music] [Music] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us. [Music] If we say in verse six, I'm going back to verse six, If we say that we have fellowship with God, but we know deep down we are still walking in darkness, the devil, the Bible says, he's the ruler of this dark world, [Music] and you go back to walk in darkness and you are in that darkness. You do not have light, and you want to fight the prince of darkness. What are you trying to do? What are you trying to do? [Music] This is what has put many people in trouble. There are principles of engaging yourself in spiritual warfare. Don't deceive yourself. If there is anything in your life that will tarnish your relationship with God, don't say, "I'm okay. I am okay." When something is not right, deal with that thing first. And when things are right between you and God, now you can go in battle with confidence. [Music] Prepare yourself. Prepare yourself. Yesterday I also touched a little bit on the book of Ephesians chapter 6 from verse 10 by quoting [Music] That book proves that we are in battle. But before you go to war, it is teaching us to prepare ourselves by putting on the full armor of God. You can't go to war without preparing yourself. Prepare about your way, the way you you live before God. And prepare by acquiring the weapons you need, and that is the word of God. I believe you went and did the assignment I told you because tomorrow morning there will be serious issues happening here. I believe you've done your assignment. I believe you've written down the areas that you need to fight. I believe you've prepared the verses that you need. When a lot of people are together, each one is fighting his battle. We can't give us for every problem. There will be probably hundreds of people here, everyone having more than 10 problems. So it is upon your responsibility to take up the weapons you need and tomorrow. I will teach you something that will make you feel very powerful [Music] that when you begin to engage yourself in war, you don't enter in that war as a loser but as a winner. [Music] Please stand up where you are. Stand up where you are. Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we give you all the praise, glory, and honor. [Music] You've called us into this war, oh Lord. And every war you call us to fight, it's not our war. That battle belongs to you because you are the one who is calling us to fight. I commit each and everyone in your hands, Lord. Everyone who is planning to enter this world. Strengthen us, oh Lord. Forgive us, oh Lord. Cleanse us, oh Lord. We pray in the name of Jesus. Give us what it takes to emerge as conquerors. Father, we thank you and we magnify your holy name. There is no God like you. You are the only one worthy to be praised. Only one worthy to be magnified. Give us wisdom. Strengthen our hands. Teach our fingers to battle. Put strength in our spiritual legs. Give us the spirit of discernment, oh Lord, even as we prepare ourselves. We thank you, Lord, and we magnify you. We give you praise, glory. There is no God like you, in Jesus' name. Everyone out there say amen. Amen. I declare you a warrior in Jesus' name. Sit down a little bit. I'm finishing up. [Music] The Bible says we are more than conquerors. Now I want to brand the battle we are launching this week of conquest. [Music] It's the battle of going to conquer territories. To conquer territories. [Music] Thank you so much. You cannot claim you a child of a king if you are not going for conquest. Long time ago, all princes, all children, sons of the king, we are supposed to prove that they are able to take over the kingdom from their father by going to war and add on new territories onto their father's kingdom. [Music] That was the way they would prove to their father that they are ready to take over the kingdom. And the father would be sure now these ones are ready for the inheritance. He knows that even if I die, my kingdom will continue through this son. So they would go out, not because they are provoked, but to bring back a report to their father. Father, this week when I went for a mission, I have added to our kingdom five villages, and the father would be happy. This is the battle of conquest. [Music] This is the battle of taking over new territories; the battle of conquest. [Music] Thank you. God bless you so much. I want you to prepare yourself to conquer new territories. [Music] This week, be ready to face the hardest areas of your life, the hardest issues of your life. Now, let me tell you, if I ask you, wherever you are, how many of you like to emerge with victory? How many of you would want to to conquer your enemy? How many of you would want to defeat your enemy? You cannot defeat an enemy that you are not willing to fight. [Music] If you want to defeat your enemy, you do not you do not have two choices; you have only one choice: to face that enemy head on and fight him. If you don't want to fight your enemy, you cannot defeat your enemy. If your enemy is holding things you want, you have to fight him. One day Jesus said, "No one can go in a strong man's house and take plunder of his properties and take plunder of his things. No one can do that unless you bind him first." Now, if you are told to bind a strong man, [Music] fill in the gaps. You have simply been told you must fight him. [Music] So how many things you desire in your life and the devil is telling you no. Every time you try, he's telling you no. Every time you try, he's telling you no. You can't, the devil cannot just give you what you need on a golden platter. [Music] No. Even if God has promised you, the devil will not interview you. Have you received a promise from God? [Music] And when you say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah," then he says, "Okay, okay, you pass," even when God has promised, he will resist. If you don't want to fight, there's no inheritance for you. I'm sorry for that; inheritance is only for those who are ready to fight for [Music] If you're not willing to fight, you're not willing to inherit. It is as simple as that. So, what area? Once again, I want to ask you, what area you've tried several times and you've not been able to break through in that particular area. [Music] Does it mean you give up? No. No. You can try again and again and again. But this time around, I guarantee you, if you follow the instructions, that particular situation, that particular area that has been there for so long, it is a stubborn situation. This time around you'll come out with testimony. Hear me very well. Stubborn situations require a stubborn approach. Stubborn situations. Stubborn situations. [Music] Those stubborn situations [Music] that have refused to go away, they require a stubborn fighter. [Music] Now we are talking; those problems require a fighter. You cannot approach a stubborn problem with a soft approach. If you want to break an egg, you don't need tools; you can just use even your hands. Seriously, you can use your your your thumb and you crack an egg. But if you want to break a stone, you need a hammer. Stand up where you are. Father, in the name of Jesus, thank you for this night you've given us, Lord. Thank you for preparing us for war. I pray for everyone who has listened to this message. [Music] Protect them, Lord. Cover them and shield them by the blood of Jesus against the spirit of revenge. Father, we ask for courage and boldness. Father, we pray increase our faith. We thank you, Lord, for this season that you've given us. We return the glory to you. We pray for the service tomorrow. Let your Holy Ghost be there. Let your anointing be there and bring people who need freedom. Bring people who need freedom. Bring people who need freedom. Oh Lord, in their big numbers, Father, we pray. Protect them as even they plan to come against any accident. Father, we pray bless each one of us. Father, we pray do not allow us to die before our time. We thank you, Lord. Father, we pray. Bless our offerings tonight in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. [Music]
