Why would you come on earth? Why would you live all these years that actually the Bible says is like a vapor? Your time on earth is nothing to eternity.

Why would you spend it to live a counterfeit life for a perceived advantage that is actually deception? How long would we go limping? Heavenly Father, we thank you.

We thank you for your love. [music] We thank you for your goodness. We thank you Lord Jesus.

For we are not gathered here for any personality Lord God. We are gathered here for you. And we thank you Lord that indeed your presence is in this place.

We thank you Lord that your spirit is here. And so Lord have your way. Have your way.

Do that which only you can do when we call on your name. that which is impossible with mankind, let us see it be possible through you. And so, Lord Jesus, we lift up your holy name.

Reveal yourself to us in a fresh way and reveal the truth of who we are to ourselves. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen.

Amen. Amen. You may be seated.

I believe there's something so beautiful that the Lord is going to do in this place. There's just so much that the Lord has been dealing with my heart on. Um even in regards to this city, you know, territories are very very significant things to believers and really to everyone.

because there is uh you know Los Angeles, Dallas, you know, New York. These are not just places you go to and say, "Oh, let me go to LA to go see the beach, you know, or I want to live in LA because the weather is nice, right? I want to go to New York and experience Christmas in New York." You don't.

This is not just the reasons that we move into spaces. Anytime you move to a place, you want to know that the Lord is sending you there because for every city you go to, there are two things that are active in that area. They are blessings and there are curses.

And when you are, if you're someone who is kind of like in between a lukewarm individual, then life just begins to happen to you. There's no intentionality about which kingdom you're on. There's no intentionality about which kingdom you're advancing because one thing that is a fact that life is about kingdoms.

>> And we are called to advance the kingdom of God. But there is a kingdom of darkness that seeks to take over territories because for every territory there is a divine assignment that God has for that region. and their people he sends to that region in order to accomplish and fulfill his will.

And so when you think of a city like Los Angeles, LA is a spiritual gate for culture. Whatever rises in this city has global impact on culture. You will go into regions that they don't even know how they don't even speak English, but they will sing the songs that come out from this region.

They know the movies. What we see in film is actually what becomes normalized in culture. And so there is a major influence connected to this city.

It is a grace that God has placed on this region for his purposes. Now, here's the truth of the matter. You know, if you ever meet someone who says they're a psychic, right?

And really, maybe you, you know, if you've got, and I don't do this now, but in your past, if you ever went to a palm reader or a psychic or something like that and they began to tell you things, you're like, how did you know? Or there are people that would say they don't know Jesus, but they will tell you that, oh, from such a young age, they've always been, you know, they just had a knowledge of things that they just flew in this whole psychic lifestyle. And you're wondering, why is it that they're psychic?

And then we make it a thing like are some people just gifted in a special way. The reality of the matter you see there was a man by the name of Jeremiah and God said to Jeremiah before I formed you I knew you right and he even talks about that before be yeah before I put you in your mother's womb that I ordained you a prophet to the nations. So Jeremiah you are born as a prophet.

Now you don't he may not know it until the encounter but in the spirit realm there is a way you look that spirit beings can tell who you really are. And so when they see that you have a prophetic grace then the spirit of divination wants to also step in. Now if you are not a prophet you can't be a psychic.

In order for you to be a psychic, it's a sign that you actually do have a prophetic call that has been perverted. >> Because it's just like, for example, you know, if you have um let's say there's a phone, right? Now, you can charge your phone with the actual charger that came in the case for that phone, the charger that was designed for that phone, or you can use some bootleg chargers that actually killed the life of your phone, >> but it still charges it.

So, the question is, what is now giving you what is empowering the gift that God already placed in you? What is the source behind the power that is connected to what you've always been ordained to be? And so when you see psychics, pray for them.

These are prophets that don't even know who they really are. And now the enemy has made it so much about them that they start to walk in a in some level of pride. I just know things.

No, you not really because now a demonic spirit is empowering that. The reason I'm using this example is because the same goes for territories that for every territory there is something about it that in the spirit realm that even the enemy can look at a space and say wow there is a unique grace here. Why is there a grace in this area for influence?

Why is there why is it that the people that are called to this space are called in the place of media and arts and fashion and now the enemy is like no no no no we want that territory. So when it comes to LA there has been this war of kingdoms. Now here's the reality.

You're never in a battle with God. It's never that God is not powerful enough to take a thing. But the scripture tells us that the earth he has given to mankind.

So you have the authority over this realm. So who has the kingdom now comes down to who is aligned enough to establish God's kingdom in the territory. And then we're going to go into a few things here.

I just want to kind of lay a foundation because when you see darkness prevailing in a place, often times people will talk about LA and they'll say, "Man, LA is so dark." And these are believers and they don't realize they're part of the problem. Because how can LA be dark, but God called you to be a light of the world? >> Then we talk about revivals that happen and it's always past tense.

Yet God called us to be the salt of the earth. >> That we are supposed to preserve the moves of God that happens in the space and not just keep it in a place of revival but reformation >> that the systems in that territory begins to shift and begins to change and it can be sustained. But if we don't understand how kingdoms work, we kind of become floaters and not even know it.

You see something so fascinating about compromise is that the one who is compromised is often the last to know because the spirit of compromise it hides itself with the idea of a perceived advantage. Why is it that we compromise? Because there's something we are after that is louder than our conviction.

So, you see how a young lady might say, you know what, you meet a guy or something and you know, you know, you're not supposed to be in, you know, having a sexual relationship, you know, but then there's something you're after with this person where he tells you like, "Hey, I can't be celibate." But because you're after the relationship, you compromise your standards and your truth and you have no conviction because you're looking at if I just give in a little bit, there is a perceived advantage I have in the relationship. Why do we compromise in business? Why do we compromise in life?

Because we're after what we think is an advantage. And we don't realize, wait, I'm actually living in disobedience. We don't see ourselves in compromise because we what we see is what we thought what it and I say perceive because you're thinking you gained something but you actually lost more.

So you have a man by the name of David in the Bible and David as king sees a beautiful woman one day he calls for her. The Bible talks about how he takes her because we when we read the story of David and Bacha, we make it so pretty like, "Oh, David had an affair." No, no, no, no. That was rape.

She was a married woman. There was never anything about Bath Sheba being open to what was happening. He saw her.

He sent men and he took her. So he sleeps with Bath Sheba. She gets pregnant.

David finds out now he tries to have her husband killed in battle. And when all of this is happening, David is just going with the flow because what David is after is self-preservation. So he doesn't even realize how far away he has strayed from the heart of God.

So then a prophet named Nathan is sent to David and Nathan begins to describe David to himself in a parable. And when he describes him to himself, David says that such a man must die. Couldn't even see that he was the one being spoken about.

And I believe that there is going to be such a move of repentance in this place by the end of today because we often don't realize how far away we've strayed from the heart of God. We often don't realize what kingdom am I actually advancing. If you cannot confidently say that my life and everything connected to me is advancing the kingdom of God, the chances are you're compromised and you don't know.

We're going to be reading from First Kings chapter 18 and I'm going to start from verse 19. And verse 19 says,"Now therefore." So let me even pause because how do we get to now therefore? Let me just read the verse actually.

Send and gather all Israel to me at Mount Carmel and the 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Ashra who eat at Jezebel's table. What is the context happening before this moment? There is a prophet named Elijah.

And during this time in Israel, there was a woman by the name of Jezebel. She's married to a king named Ahab. Jezebel is is a the for lack of better words is a very powerful witch in this context.

And Jezebel had killed the prophets of God where she would gather prophets of God and kill them to the point that there was a man by the name of Obadiah. Obadiah feared the Lord. And when Jezebel was on a slaughter of the prophets of God, Obadiah was able to take a hundred prophets and hide them.

So in that territory, there has been such a a lack of reverence for the one true God. There has been intimidation on any voice that will speak on his behalf. But then there is Elijah and Elijah had prayed earnestly.

The Bible talks about how Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain. And so Elijah had been in a place of prayer for you can call it for revival. Elijah had been interceding for the people of Israel for their eyes to be open.

And then we're going to see as we unpack the scripture that indeed Elijah's prayers were met by an encounter with the Lord because there were things he did by instruction. So that means the Lord had encountered him on what to do. And so the people Je Jezebel you know who they were serving was a false god named Ba.

Now Baal was believed by the people to be in charge of fertility to be in charge of rain and agricultural prosperity. So basically if I worship this god I will prosper because agriculture in that time is where their financial wealth is coming from. And so bal so agriculture rain for and then you know for women fertility.

So there are perceived advantages to worshiping this God. But this is happening in Israel. Israel, the nation that God said that I will make them a nation of priests, a holy nation.

So do you see it now with the territory? So when you're looking at Israel in the spirit realm, they see a territory that is supposed to be people who are separated unto God. This is a territory that has people that would reflect what holiness ought to look like.

So what does the enemy do? I want it. I want to pervert it.

And in order to explain this properly, there's this chart that I want I want them to pull up and I'm going to teach on it um before we go further into the scripture. But basically it Elijah and you can this is we're going to talk about this but if you want to get this in your phone or anything like that but basically Elijah is praying for revival because he sees that what he is after he's not fighting flesh and blood because the scripture would also tell us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers against rulers of darkness. ness and spiritual wickedness in high places.

So Elijah cannot just come to the battle in flesh. He had to be in a place of the spirit in prayer. And so from that place now the Lord reveals to him command that there would be no rain.

Because when Elijah commands for drought in the territory, what he is challenging is the principality in the region. Because if you believe that the God that you're serving is in charge of rain, then let a mere mortal speak. >> Because Elijah would literally say that there would be no rain except by my word >> because he wants to challenge what they worship.

That okay, you believe Ba is in charge of rain. Okay, that's cool. But by the word of a man, there will be no rain.

And he literally shut the heavens because not just be not you see you have to understand that it was always the will of God for Israel to be aligned but a man had to rise up in intercession and h come into the place of agreement with God and then heaven backed him up. >> That's why the scripture says thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it already is in heaven. in heaven.

This is the will. This has already been established. But now, in order for it to take place on earth, people must rise up to align with the will of God.

>> So Elijah decrees a thing. So when he shows up, Elijah is wanted by the people, but they can't kill him because again, he said, "By my word," and they see the evidence of it. Year one, no rain.

Year two, no rain. Now to understand the impact of this, we're going to talk about this graph right here in Ephesians 6:12. It tells us about this systems of darkness, right?

That when you think you're fighting flesh and blood, it's much deeper than that. So let's talk about territories. First, we're going to look at it from the perspective of what was happening in Israel.

And then we're going to look at it from a mirror perspective to what is happening in Los Angeles. So in Israel, you have a people that are called by God to be consecrated, to be a holy nation, a kingdom of priests. And so what does the principality do?

Because first of all, a principality is a fallen angel. Right? When Satan fell, the Bible shows us that he took a third of the angels with him.

Now people would only follow you if they agree with your how you're thinking and your agenda. They said can two walk together except they be agreed. So why did Satan fall?

He wanted to rule. The scripture tells us that he wanted to raise his throne above the throne of God. So every angel that fell with him did that because they also wanted a different kind of rulership.

So now angels, fallen angels are not like demons. Demons are disembodied spirits. In order for a demon to find rest, they're looking for a body.

In order for a principality or a fallen angel to find rest, they're looking for a territory because they have a body. They angels cannot possess people. So they they're they're wandering until they find a territory.

That's why in the Bible you will hear things like the prince of Persia withtood me when Daniel was praying for 21 days because Daniel was praying for to the Lord and the Lord sent him an answer. But the angel that the Lord sent to Daniel was withtood by what the Bible says the prince of Persia which is what a fallen angel that has claimed the territory of Persia. But as Daniel continued to intercede, then the one who is sent by God to that territory came to release him.

And so a principality is a fallen angel. They're looking for rulership and they can only rule over territories. So they look at Israel and in this case this is Ba.

Ba looks at Israel and says, "I want that territory." And so how did they get the territory? They have to establish systems. In order to establish systems, powers come in.

Powers is where now you have systems of intimidation and perversion to silence or literally kill the callings of the men and women of God sent to that territory for God's agenda. So in the time of Israel, what did this look like? Jezebel killing the prophets and then the spirit of intimidation because what how is she intimidating them?

If anyone will rise up to speak for the Lord, she will kill them. People lost their courage. People lost their boldness.

They went into hiding. What if all hundred of those prophets were interceding? But they went into hiding.

And so the powers first have to dethrone those called by God before they can raise up the ones that they would empower. So you never hear about the prophets of Baal or Asher until Jezebel kills the prophets of God. So powers start to influence the the systems in the territory.

So they dethrone them the prophets of God. They dethrone the voices of God and then establish rulers of darkness. Another thing you must understand even about powers is that when powers show up, this is where witchcraft is heavily involved.

Because again, the earth has God-given to man. We're going to go on a journey here. The earth has God-given to man.

So, in order for Satan to even execute his plan, he needs people that would align with his will. You see, witchcraft goes beyond spells. It's not just about spells and curses.

Witchcraft in its real definition, it, you know, there's a reason why the Bible will say rebellion is as witchcraft. Because witchcraft is when your will aligns with the agenda of darkness. Now there are people who are intentional in it who give themselves to demons to give them direction and wisdom and tell them, "Hey, go curse this territory.

Go speak this over the land." Because when witchcraft gets involved, that's when they start to speak spells and curses and they start to release spirits of lust over an area. They start to release spirits of perversion. They start releasing spirits of pride over an area because they're like, "Okay, if we can dethrone the voices of God and people are people lose their stability, then they they give us a way in." And so when the witch now in the context of Israel, that points to Jezebel.

Do you see where we're going? So Jezebel is the one who now reflects in the natural realm powers. But what is actually behind her?

It's spiritual. Because now they said, "Okay, we need a human. We need people with flesh and blood." Because even our Lord Jesus could not, you know, um access this territory in until he became flesh and blood.

What I mean by that, there are things that the Lord Jesus needed to do on the earth. He cannot die for you if he's not flesh and blood. In order for him to actually move in a way that would redeem us back to the father, he had to take on flesh and blood because flesh and blood is are the only people on this earth that have legal right to operate.

So Satan begins to look for people that will come in agreement in alignment with his will. Jezebel comes in. Jezebel takes over that throne.

She kills the prophets of God. And then rulers of darkness step in. Now influence has been taken from the people God sent.

Now demonic influence is given to people who would fall in line to advance the agenda of the kingdom of darkness. Now who are the rulers of darkness in the context of Israel? These are now the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Ashra.

So you have 850 people who have positioned themselves to now normalize compromise in the territory. And how do they normalize compromise? Through lukewarm allegiance.

Now Israel, a nation that is called by God to be holy is now worshiping Ba and the Lord. Compromise. Now Israel who is focus who who their devotion that was only going to the Lord now they're devoted to the Lord and to bow and you can never serve two masters.

Whenever you're serving Jesus and something else you're really serving that other thing because he is the only way. >> You can never say you're serving the Lord God and something else. And so what we're about to see in the scripture is now the mercy of God that is being revealed through the intercession of a man that Lord, we must take Israel back for you.

Your people must come back to you. And so again in verse 19, it says, "Now therefore," so Elijah now goes to King Ahab and he says, "You know what? Enough of this.

Let's actually let's let's go headtohead. and see which God is really God. He says, "Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me at Mount Carmel and the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Ashra who eat at Jezebel's table." Now, let's go back to that chart.

Who eats at her table? The rulers of darkness, they eat from where they got their powers. It's significant that he said that.

He's not talking about physical food. Elijah could care less if they had grapes for breakfast. And that's going to be a really big table for 850 people.

He's not talking about physical food. He says, "I know your prophets because I know where they got their influence from. I know what empowers them.

It is the witch Jezebel." And Jezebel is not just about a person because we will see later in the scriptures, Jezebel represents a system of the demonic. So Elijah says, "Those that eat at her table, gather them for me." Because now what is about to take place is a dethroning of that principality. So in verse 20 it continues and it says, "So Ahab sent to all the people of Israel and gathered the prophets together at Mount Carmel.

And Elijah came near to the people and said, "How long will you go limping between two different opinions? How long will you continue to be divided? How long will you continue to live in this lukewarm nature?

How long will you be compromised? And it's easy for us to look at this story and ask them the same question and say, "Yeah, guys, how long? Come on.

You should have known the Lord by now." If anyone is familiar with the things that happened prior to this, it would feel like this is ridiculous, guys. How long will you continue like this? But now, let's let's let's see this scripture as a mirror.

Let's go back to the graph and let's talk about LA. Now, when I started ministering in this city, I'd been at one church for 10 years now. And recently, the Lord called me to step down.

And it was because there were thing other things that he was saying I need to do with you. And if you know anything about the leaders at one, we go wherever the Lord sends. We do whatever the Lord says because it's about kingdom.

When I started ministering there within the first year, I had an encounter with the principality over this region. And they looked at me and it said, "Who do you think you are to come into our territory?" And I got excited because I said, "Oh, you just revealed your now I know you by name." That was my exc I said this Satan sometimes you are really not that smart. But when you think about LA, LA being a region that is a spiritual gatekeeper to culture.

Now remember everything in this world is advancing kingdom. Which kingdom is the question. So in God's original intent and agenda for this region is that this region would reveal to the world the culture of the kingdom, the ways of the kingdom that it would influence people because whatever rises in this city spreads globally.

that the music that comes out from this city would draw people to Jesus. The films that comes out from this city will draw people to Jesus. Hollywood is not just about a film industry.

It is a gate. That everything that comes through that gate will draw people to Jesus. But then the principality who was looking for a place says, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We want it. And how do we get it? Powers.

Now let's bring in intimidation. Now all of a sudden there are certain things that you cannot say if you don't want to get cancelled. There are certain things you cannot do because you will lose favor.

Now they begin to spread. You see why it is so critical when the Bible says pray for your leaders. When you see someone who was called by God in a region and they started in accuracy and all of a sudden things began to shift and you're like, "Wow, their their messages are changing.

They're doing things that we can't understand." Now they're, you know, you and this is not just about in the church. I'm talking about even in the film industry. You see someone who was rising and their message was boldly about Jesus.

And then things began to shift a little bit. You see a minister who was rising in boldness for things of the kingdom and all of a sudden you can see the compromise. You see someone who is called into arts and entertainment, who is called into the film industry, who is an actress or an actor and they were so bold for Jesus until they receive the role that you're like what what is happening in this movie?

Because the moment someone that bears the mark of God is rising in that territory, you have to understand that the same way demons do not want to leave a person, a principality does not want to leave a region. >> So the moment he sees someone with the mark of God rising, he says, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Witches get involved.

They're looking for a weak spot. They want to attack their home, attack their marriage, attack their family. They they're looking for what is in you.

You see, Jesus will say, "Satan comes to me and he finds nothing." But many of us have things in us, >> ambition. The enemy is looking, okay, you're so hungry. Okay, you really want fame.

Oh, you really want influence. I can give it to you. Now, he doesn't come like the person.

It comes as an offer. You are an actress who was so bold about Jesus until you got an offer you couldn't deny. And what you were portraying in the film is advancing the kingdom of darkness.

And you don't see the compromise because what you see is the perceived advantage. And then we come up with this demonic thought processes that you know what, I'm going to use this influence to advance God's kingdom. But how did I get it?

So powers come in to find ways to pervert God's people because if the the Lord cannot do, you know, it's impossible for God to move in the way he wants to with you when you are also marked by another kingdom. >> So you started right with God and then you began to advance the other guy's kingdom. And heaven is like, "Oh man, that's why you have to intercede for people you see.

Don't be so quick to critique people all the time." >> The church might not be perfect. Intercede >> because you don't know the warfare that person is going through. >> The individual you are following on social media, you're like, "Man, this person has really strayed from the path." intercede because the enemy knows that if this one rises up in accuracy, we are in trouble.

Because one thing about the kingdom of God, God does not need many. He only needs a few who will get it right. Do you see 850 prophets from the demonic realm?

One prophet of God confronting them. >> [applause] >> So powers begin to rise up in this city and their agenda is to take down the purity of the voices of God because if the voices are no they lose their purity then the enemy can weaken them and he can silence them. One of the things the Lord showed me about this territory was how many people had this snake wrapped around their mouth.

They're active. They're doing so many things, but there are things they could never speak because there is an intimidation that if I say the wrong thing, I will lose favor. So, let me just be quiet when even though the Lord is telling me, hey, I this influence is not for you to just be quiet in the time you ought to speak.

It's not for you to be like the prophets who were hiding in caves. Many of you are in this place and the truth of the matter is that the real you is in a cave. The real you is hidden because the version of you that God is really calling it will come with persecution and self-preservation is what you have exchanged in the place of compromise that I just want to be likable.

I I just want to keep things the way they are. I just want to have my safety net. And you don't realize this is spiritual.

And then when they have the ability to silence the voices of God in the territory, do you know all the craziness that happens in this city? And we just see it and scroll. There was a play that was done about Jesus in this city, but it was a mockery.

How do you touch something so holy from a place that is profane? The the people embodying it are don't even believe in him and we see it and we scroll. We don't want to talk about anything that that will feel offensive because it's that you know what I'm I'm good.

I'm not trying to be cancelled. powers, silence in the people of God, and then rulers of darkness come. And what does this look like?

These are the gatekeepers in the territory. These are the people in the music industry that would say, "In order for us to market you, you have to do it this way." These are the people in the film industry that says, "Hey, we really want to do a lot with you, but these are the roles we can give you." And what does it include? Nudity.

sex scenes and you're thinking this is just a movie. Is it really? Because it's being marketed to the world as culture and you used your body to advance it.

Rulers of darkness come in a place and say, "Hey, you have a beautiful gift, but in order for that gift to be marketable, it has to be done this way." So you have people that were gifted by God and they're selling it to the devil. They don't know it. They don't call it that because there is something they're after that is louder than their conviction.

If the enemy knows that there are strings he can pull in you, he would do it in such a subtle way that you don't even realize that even though you call on the name of God, your life is advancing his kingdom. Everything has a culture. Even the culture that we live in is not just about oh this is the culture of our generation.

There is something that empowers the culture in our culture today. We, you know, if people when we think about the 70s, there are things we think about in the 70s. Oh, hippies, right?

Colorful dressing and all these things. Afro. You think about our generation, I'm sure years to come, they would say, "Oh, man, the Tik Tok dancers.

Every day we had a Tik Tok challenge. We had things that were trending." But are we actually is it music that is trending or are these spirits that is trending? >> Because you see when your life is not intentional about the kingdom you're advancing, you might be advancing darkness.

If you think about some of the challenges you have done as tick tock dances, what was the music promoting? lust, rebellion, perversion. If you actually look at the lyrics, what is it promoting?

There was one that went viral. I mean, all of them really go viral, but one particular one, and I wouldn't lie, you know, I remember one time going in my mirror. I said, "Well, I'm not going to film this because I'm a minister, right?" When I did go in my mirror, I said, "Oh, let me try this dance." The song was playing.

I didn't play the song. It was already on Tik Tok. And as I started to dance, there was a conviction.

What are you doing? And I said, "What is this song actually saying?" Because it's viral. We just want to jump on a trend.

And then I look at the song and it's talking about eating somebody really good. I said what? Because what is it promoting?

Lust and children outdoing it. And why are they doing it? They see you doing it.

So after you you gave that beautiful scripture on your post, >> then you go dancing and about someone to eat you up. When did you become a burrito? And here's the thing here here's the crazy thing because we we don't we think we're just, you know, we're we're we're joining trends.

We're joining the marketing of spirits >> because you would be listening to a song and all of a sudden you start having these lustful dreams >> because you're coming under its government. If we are not intentional about the kingdom we're advancing, you could be promoting darkness and you don't even know it. These are the things you cannot be a lukewarm believer.

You cannot just say that because everyone is doing a thing, I should do it too. Why? Why is this trending?

Whenever you see something trend, ask yourself why. Listen to it and ask the ask the Holy Spirit, what culture does this promote? You see, because something the Lord began to teach me is that for many, when you're unintentional, you are actually a distributor of the culture of darkness by being a consumer of it.

Because we all have a territory we influence. In the marketing space, they call it being a micro influencer. And they're actually oftenimes more powerful.

What are you marketing? What is your life portraying? You could say, "Well, I'm not in the music business.

I'm not in this." But what is your life, your everyday life? What is it revealing? the people that know you intimately, is it Jesus that they see?

I'm not talking about when you talk about the Bible and the word and all this stuff. What is your life saying is okay? What is your life revealing and demonstrating to people that it is okay to do these things?

It is okay to live like this. There are rulers of darkness in the fashion industry. They are the ones that make certain things trend.

So all of a sudden we see men wearing more clothes and women wearing less. Why rulers of darkness? Because the principality says, "I will keep my territory and I will continue to establish people as gatekeepers over every region so that people have no choice but to fall in line." But if someone would dare rise up and be bold for Jesus, >> can you imagine?

Elijah, one man, 850. If someone would dare, Jesus can do more with few than the enemy can do with an army. >> If someone would rise up and say, "I am not going to use my talents, my gifts, my influence, my voice, my platform, or my life to reveal and empower the kingdom of darkness.

God will begin to do some powerful things through your life. But you have to be willing to take the shame sometimes. You have to be willing to say, you know what, it's not about I don't care about my reputation.

You have to be willing to lay your ambitions at the cross. Because if not, it's costing you more than you think. You're looking at a perceived advantage, but Satan has your life.

You think something is gaining you wealth and influence but Satan is the one controlling your life because he has taken your voice on matters. How long how long are we going to limb between two sides? Elijah will say, "If Bal is God, then follow him." Because they know that Jesus is Lord, but Baal is profitable.

It profits them to follow Baal again because it was the belief that BA is in charge of agricultural prosperity. In LA, there is a belief that there is a way things happen if you want to advance. I know Jesus is Lord, but I live in a way that h I'm just going to f fall in line.

I'm not going to speak up because that could get me in trouble. I'm going to do it the way they said I should because that would get me ahead. I know Jesus is Lord, but my life is actually demonstrating that which follows Bow.

And Elijah is confronting their compromise. And so even when we look back on this and then from rulers of darkness, what ends up happening in a territory is spiritual wickedness, affliction in the land. You see, a lot of the things you see in this city is not random.

The sex trafficking, human trafficking, this is not random. the homelessness. I've served many homeless people in this in this region and many of them don't want to leave.

I met a homeless man that had four phones and he was getting calls. No, this is real life. And I said, "Sir, you are in your right mind.

You are paying the bills for all these lines. Why are you here? There is a spirit that has agreement over the territory to afflict it.

There are random things of affliction that begins to happen. You a concert will take place and people just die. There is a spirit governing the territory.

You see what is so crazy about this and what the Lord began to show me is that there is a shaking. When we when we were when we got here for today, I kept seeing angels, a host of angels along the skyline, there is a shaking of what God wants to do. But we have to get back in the place of boldness.

Because even when we look at this, even when we talk about rulers of darkness, there is something the Lord just keeps showing me right now. These are the people that will start to make the occult sound like wellness because its agenda is to pervert. Why is new age so big here?

If it rises here, it has global impact. And the perversion of it is that it's now branded as wellness. And so what do people do?

Iawaska and they say no it's a healing experience but if you ever hear about it you will know it is spiritual and if it is spiritual who opened the door for it if it is spiritual then how did I gain access into that spiritual experience what spirit was the gatekeeper we start to rebrand things. Can can three people just come up to this stage very quickly? There's something the Lord keeps showing me just and they will guide you.

Just the first three people Mariah will guide you because I see that even in this room many of you have participated in things that you will call wellness but you know that it was not wellness it was spiritual. And I just see the hand of God wanting to set people free. Just line up.

So you can look at the people. I want you to understand this. Who we are as man, mankind is spirit, soul, and body.

I know often times we have this idea of like we are spirit, we have a soul, we live in a body. know we're tripartate by nature. We are spirit, we are soul and body.

Now the body, how did it get here? Because you're a body, did you just wake up one day and say, "Earth, I would like to step into you." No. There was a gatekeeper called your mother.

There was a womb that you had to get into at the appointed time for God to send you onto the earth. So you're a body, but you didn't get here by yourself. A womb had to bring you forth.

So why do we think that as spirit I'm just a spiritual being having spiritual experiences? Who is the gatekeeper of those spiritual experiences? Because if it is not the Holy Spirit, it is a demonic spirit and they hide their agenda.

The Bible says that Satan masquerades himself as a angel of light. So he comes by the way of wellness but what he's really after is agreement is access legal grounds to access you and begin to influence you. You see there is a revival happening for kingdoms in this hour when we are praying for revival because the Lord is stirring things up.

Trust and believe that darkness is also having a revival and it has many rulers that wants to rebrand the occult as wellness. Be careful what you open up yourself to. You can go.

Thank you so much. There are a few things. Just just allow me to flow with how the Lord is leading.

And we're going to get into a few things in this word, but be careful what you open up yourself to because you know how rulers of darkness also rebrand demonic activities. When it comes to things like abortion, it is rebranded as my body, my choice. No, your body is a vessel.

It is a temple. And we try to make it as though you know when you when you talk about abortion people always go to the extreme. But what if the person was raped?

Majority of people is about convenience compromise. And they don't realize that what is promoting me to feel so confident in my decision is a prince trying to keep his territory. Let us pervert how they think.

Let us pervert how they live. Let us gain more access and more grounds. Things are being twisted.

Evil is being called good. Evil is being called freedom and good is now being called evil. When you confront things that just make, let's not even go too far, things that just make common sense.

We're be there's so much resistance. So people become quiet or just fall in line. If we are going to see revival, we have to open our mouth and begin to declare.

If you're going to be on the Lord's side, say what he is saying because it would lead people into freedom in a little bit. I see this so clearly. There are people in this place and you have had abortions.

We're going to pray for you. This is not about condemnation. If you have never come before the Lord to repent before God about your decision, there is still a door open because you have to understand that abortion is a sacrifice.

It is not convenient for you or you no longer like the person who you got pregnant for or you guys broke up. This is all convenience. This is about self.

This is about selfish ambitions that say and men you are involved too. Because if a woman who got pregnant for you and you encouraged her that look, I'm not I'm not in this. I'm I'm not for this.

You don't realize that whatever rulers of darkness tell you that it's not even a baby until that's how we all started. What they say is not a baby is how you got here and you don't realize these are spiritual things because you are putting that child on the altar of self and every sacrifice there is someone the sacrifice is going to and that is not a sacrifice unto the Lord and whoever receives your sacrifice responds and if that sacrifice is received by the enemy enemy. There is a response.

Many people don't understand this and the enemy wants to silence people from saying it, but it is the truth. Abortion opens up people to a spirit of death in their lives. And it's not always attacking your actual the the length of your days, but sometimes it goes after the things that God has called you to because it has legal grounds.

There are things that you don't realize. Why do I keep coming up against the wall in this area? Meanwhile, everything about my life should advance.

You don't know where you invited that spirit because what you did out of convenience in the spirit realm, it was an altar you erected to invite the enemy into your life. Rulers of darkness begin to change language. They begin to change how people see life.

And at the same time, in the same breath that we believe like it's my body, my choice, we hold up the Bible and we say, "Lord, I just want to thank you for this day." How long would we go limping between two masters? Then Elijah continues and he says in verse, let's go to verse 22. Then Elijah said to the people, I even I only am left a prophet of the Lord.

But Ba's prophets are 450 men. Let two bulls be given to us and let them choose one bull for themselves and cut it in pieces and lay it on the wood, but put no fire to it. and I will call upon the name of the Lord and the God who answers by fire, he is God." And all the people answered, "It is well spoken." Isn't this interesting?

Elijah says to them, "How long will you go limping between two opinions?" They say nothing. And when people are slow to speak, when asked a question, there are things they're pondering in their heart. Am I Am I really willing to to to lose?

Am I really willing to let this go? Because I do believe it profits me. Some of you are pondering in your heart right now.

There are things that the Holy Spirit is convicting you about that you must walk away from. There is a way you have portrayed yourself to the world that the Lord said, "This has never been you." But you're pondering in your heart that wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Am I really willing to let this go?

But the moment he says, you know what? Okay, let's make it a show. The one that answers by fire, he is God.

What is Elijah trying to say? The one who answers by fire is the one who would have more superiority. And they're still thinking to to some degree, even on a low level, because they're like, "Oh, it is what way you have spoken." because you're looking for what can advance us more.

But this is God's mercy. This is not because the people are really ready to submit to God, but that in God's mercy, he will cause up whatever they have been serving to dry up. They're already in a drought.

Now if the God you believe is in charge of rain can't even respond to all these prophets, this is mercy speaking. This is God meeting them where they are to say if I answer by fire because you see you have to understand something. Where there is great persecution upon the people of God, darkness finds confidence.

Because the question that begins to whisper in people's minds is, well, if God is so powerful, where was he all this time? Where was he when the prophets were being executed? For some of you, the question has been, well, God, if you have been so powerful, where were you when I got molested?

Where were you when this happened to me? And that is the hook Satan has. So Elijah is trying to reveal to them, no, no, no, no, no.

There is more to the story than what you think. There is more to this beyond where has this God been? Because that God you're speaking of.

He is the one true God. He is all powerful. And so it's not just about where is he.

Sometimes we have to open up our hearts to try to understand things a bit deeper. that could this is not really a God problem but a problem with mankind because if one woman could kill pro hundreds of prophets were they really in intercession did she kill them in their place of being cowards did anyone rise up in boldness there are certain things that happen to us is not because God wasn't there is that there is a real evil in this world. And so when Elijah presents it to them and say the one who answers by fire, he would be God.

You see, for some of you, there are areas of there are things in your life that has dried up in a way that doesn't make sense. There are you in the place that you once had abundance and increase and success and everyone was calling you and everything was happening for you and things just began to dry up in ways that it doesn't make sense to you and you don't realize it's mercy. You have the gift.

You have the resume. You have the relationships. You have the connections.

But for some reason, I even hear this so clearly. There's one someone someone had been asking the Lord because you just changed your manager and the manager you have now is supposed to be like the best of the best and you've been asking the Lord like what is happening? Like I even got a new manager.

Everything that should work should be is is literally drying up and you don't realize it's mercy because what is sustaining that is a different kingdom. What is sustaining it is your allegiance to darkness. And so there are times that in God's mercy, he will cause what you have been serving to be quiet.

He will cause what you have given yourself up to to not respond anymore. You will try everything and it's almost like you will think it's getting better and it gets much worse. It is mercy.

Pay attention. and be sensitive to it. Rather than fighting it, ask the Lord, reveal me to me.

If there is any compromise in my life, if I have gone far from your word, reveal me to me. So the people say, "Oh yeah, this is good." And then in verse 25, then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose for yourselves a bull. Prepare it first, for you are many.

Call on the name of your God." um you know, but put no fire to it. And they took the bull that was given to them, and they prepared it, and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, "Oh, Ba, answer us." But there was no voice, dried up. You have to understand that whatever they did used to work for them.

It's not that Ba didn't know how to respond, but in the presence of the one true God, he is mute. >> [applause] >> This had always been working for them. >> He said, "And they limped around the altar that they had made.

And at noon, Elijah mocked them, saying, Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing or he is relieving himself. Bow had a bathroom break.

Or he is on a journey. Or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened. And check this out in verse 28.

And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances until the blood gushed out upon them. This was their custom. This was how Bal responded to them.

And even look at the custom. Blood shed. So in order for me to serve this deity, I have to lose my life.

The Bible says that life is in the blood. So in order for him to respond to me is taking away the essence of who I am. If what is making you advance in on earth is actually kind of connected to compromise.

The cost is your real life. The true life that God has for you. What is actually being exchanged is the life that you're called to have that is hidden in Christ.

And that is the true version of you. Why would you come on earth? Why would you live all these years that actually the Bible says is like a vapor?

Your time on earth is nothing to eternity. Why would you spend it to live a counterfeit life for a perceived advantage that is actually deception? How long would we go limping?

And so in verse 29, and as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblashion, but there was no voice. No one answered, no one paid attention. Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me." And all the people came near to him, and he repaired the altar of the Lord that had been thrown down.

Elijah took 12 stones according to the number of the tribes of the son of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be your name. This is about territory. And with the stones he built, he built an altar in the name of the Lord.

And he made a trench about the altar as great as wood contained two seas of seed. And he put the wood in order and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood. And here is so here's a very critical point.

And he said, "Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering on the wood." And he said it, "Do it a second time." And he also said it, "Do it a third time." Why is this so significant? Who is Elijah speaking to the people? First of all, without water, a fire just shows up.

That is enough. They already said it is well spoken. Whoever answers by fire, that [music] is God.

But you see, mercy must be met by a response. Drought was in the land. Water is a necessity.

Elijah tells the people who are experiencing a drought, who water is now luxury to them to sacrifice it. They could have poured it once and it would be enough. He says a [music] second time and a third time because now it's revealing.

Do you really want to know who is God? The people [music] needed water. There was a drought.

If they were not sensitive to the moment, they would have seen water as waste. That Elijah asking them to pour water on the altar. No, no, no, Elijah.

You're trying to have us waste what we need. We have animals to feed. We need this.

We haven't seen rain in years. But Elijah is testing because if the people are not obedient to pour the water, [music] they're not yet ready for God. God will meet you in his mercy, but you must respond.

You have to get out of safety whatever has been your safety net that you would bring it and lay it before his altar and say, "Lord, here I am. Speak to me." This was not just about what Elijah wanted to do for the territory. The people had to participate.

Elijah could have brought his own water. This was not just a showdown to be entertainment for the people. It was a call to repentance.

And repentance is done by actions. What is water in your life right now? What is the thing that you would hold on to?

And the Lord says, "Bring it before me. Let me reveal my true self to you." What is the thing that you feel as though, Lord, I can't I can't let this thing go because if I do, if I walk away from it, I've wasted an opportunity. I've wasted [music] a relationship even though you know it's toxic.

And the Lord said, "No, no, no. That's your safety net. If you are [music] going to come to me, you must trust me." Elijah [music] tells them, "Pour water once, do it twice, do it three times." And here is what why this is so fascinating because I'm going to jump to after they've poured the water, Elijah calls upon the Lord.

Elijah then says, uh, where's the scripture? Actually, let me just go to 36. And at the time of the offering, um, let me jump [music] here.

Okay, look, look at what Elijah says. Oh Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. So everything Elijah was asking of the people was an instruction the Lord gave him because the Lord was also after their hearts.

God [music] is not into entertaining you. It was not just about, hey guys, come and gather and see Firefall. But I also want you to bring what is luxury to you at [music] this time.

What is a necessity to you at this time? The thing you feel like if I let this go, my life is over as I know it. Water.

Because if they didn't see it right, what Elijah [music] is asking is for them to waste what they need. Not it's not even luxury. Forgive me for saying that.

[music] This is a necessity. There is a drought. What gives us prosperity in the land is agriculture.

Agriculture requires water. Everything about sustaining my life and my animals requires water. And a prophet is asking me to pour it on the altar.

fill up the jars and waste it on the altar. And there are things in your life that you see as a necessity. Lord, if I walk away from this industry the way they've known [music] me, how am I going to pay my bills?

How am I going to cope? How am I going to live my life? It's about do you trust him?

Because if how you pay your bills is advancing the [music] kingdom of darkness, could this be why that Jesus would also say that seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added to you? That [music] what you're chasing would be found if you sought him and you lived according to your seeking. that my life would advance.

Only that which God promotes and not that I would be compromised [music] because of gain or because of need. You see, there is a dimension of God that you begin [music] to encounter and experience in your life when you're willing to lay down your need for his presence. When you're willing to lay down what sustains you for more of him, to keep his word.

When you lose your fear of your own life and your own ambitions because you want to stay true to his word, there is [music] a dimension of him you experience. You see the three Hebrew boys that were thrown into the fire, they have never experienced [music] or heard a story of someone who was just walking around in fire. But when [music] they were threatened, when their life was on the line, and they said to them, "If you don't bow, we will throw you in the fire." They [music] did not care.

And literally I I believe that they they knew that they said look they know that God is mighty to save but even if he doesn't and the even if he doesn't is what allowed them to experience the ability to walk in fire [music] while the people who threw you were burnt. And not just that, it was recognized that there is a fortman [music] in the fire, one that looks like the son of God. What conversations did they have in the fire?

Can you imagine what was the the outcome of that moment even in the lives of their children? The kinds of children they raised up when they said [music] the God we serve even sustained us in a fire. There is something about God you begin to walk in [music] and you begin to encounter when there is nothing nothing that will serve as room to compromise.

Nothing. And I ask the Holy Spirit to begin to reveal to us what are those areas in our lives that we are bowing and advancing another kingdom [music] while we call on Jesus. Could it be what we think is leisure or a Tik Tok challenges?

But what are you actually marketing? Could it be connected to the thing that feeds you? But could it be that when you say Lord, even Jesus say, "What would it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?" It's not We don't need to make it so vague because when we make it about lose his soul, we're like, "Well, I I've never sold my [music] soul to the devil." What is your soul?

your will, your emotions, the seed of your being. So if my will is advancing another kingdom, I've lost it. I've lost the intent of why God gave me it in the beginning.

[music] My free will is to freely serve him. that the Bible says it [music] is your reasonable service to be a living sacrifice before the Lord. It is your reasonable reasonable like this is what makes sense out of your life but then your will is advancing another kingdom.

This is when Jesus is [music] saying what would it profit you that you gain the whole world but your will is not even with me. Your will is lost to your appetites. Your will is lost to selfish ambition.

[music] It did it really was it really worth it? Was it really worth it? Because at the end of the day, this [music] life is just a vapor.

And eternity is not just about, oh man, I [music] want to make it a heaven. Heaven without Jesus is not heaven. The whole purpose of why there is a heaven and there is a hell and why people go to hell if they have not encountered [music] and truly walking with Jesus is because heaven is not about a destination.

It is about Jesus. It is about his presence. It is about being with him.

He is the source and the light of heaven. So if you're not walking with him in this realm, then it's impossible to work with him in the next because heaven is about him. How long we have to get back to the place of true boldness for the things of God?

And it's amazing because right after this moment, fire comes down. Elijah gathers up all the prophets and slaughters them. Because what is he doing?

Dethroning the rulers of darkness. This was not just about natural things [music] happening. This was spiritual because how is it that one man even think of the m [music] one man slaughtered 850 people.

What does that mean? The people helped him. So the people who had been in deception are now gathering the ones who deceived them.

The people, this was about repentance because how would one man can you imagine one man you kill one [music] prophet the next prophet is like well next in line. Somebody should have gone running. But Elijah talks about gather them up.

You see, look at what Elijah said in verse 40. Seize the prophets of Baal. Let no one of them escape.

And they seized them. Who is the them? The people that were compromised.

The people that were compromised have now fallen in line back to where there ought to be. The people that had been missing the mark said, "No more would I walk in deception." They gathered them up. Elijah by himself could not kill 850 prophets without the help of the people he did it for.

True revival cannot come until you are willing to call evil evil. True revival cannot come [music] until the people can you can you look at this properly. The same people that when Elijah says how long will you go limping?

They were quiet. Now became the people that forcefully gathered the same prophets of Baal. The ones that they were seating under their teachings.

They gathered [music] them to be slaughtered. Repentance. That's what this scripture is about.

That if a territory would be gained back to the Lord, then God's people [music] must call it out. We must come before him. And it starts with us.

It starts with the things that we have accepted. It starts with the narratives that we have made room for. It starts with the things that we have given ourselves to because you cannot conquer a kingdom you're in bed with.

You cannot conquer a kingdom that you are benefiting from. You must look at it and say no it ends today. It ends today.

The presence of God is in this place. Just we're going to pray this. There's going to be just a move of the spirit of God.

Just stand with me for a bit. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, [music] Jesus.

Thank you, Lord. I see the angels [music] of God in this place. I just want you to be sensitive.

Thank you, Holy Spirit. This is a time [music] of repentance. You see, it [music] was not until the prophets of Baal were killed.

And then Elijah by his word declared [music] for rain. And it was not an arrogant thing. [music] He went back to the place of intercession.

When he shut up the heavens that it would not rain, it was [music] a natural reflection of the spiritual state of the land. That the place was in true spiritual [music] drought. They had lost their way.

that the only [music] thing left here is death. So when the heavens opened back up again for [music] rain to fall, there was a restoration upon the land. This story is a mirror of repentance for our own lives.

There are things that the Lord will call you out from and it will feel scary, [music] but you have to lay it at his altar. Their ideologies and things that we have believed about ourselves, but it's rulers of darkness. It's powers in the land that wants to keep you small and keep you [music] bound.

And it's not it doesn't care about you. It cares about its agenda. They're voices that have been [music] silenced out of intimidation, out [music] of fear, out of reputation, and in our generation, out of not wanting to be cancelled.

But how long? How long? You know what's powerful about people of God is because he rules over everything.

You put them in prison, you have Paul writing letters to the churches. You put them in fire, another man shows up walking in the fire. When you persecute the church, [music] it grows.

When you persecute the church, it actually attracts help not from the natural. Because guess what? If the natural rejects you, guess who comes to empower you?

[music] The supernatural. [applause] So even when it looks like loss is gain >> because there is a place that God begins to walk with you and that's [music] when you get to the end of yourself and you cannot do that if you are the [music] strategist over your own life. Holy Spirit, you are in this place.

You are in this [music] place. I want us to just worship for just a few minutes. The Lord is [music] about to move.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you Lord.

Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord Jesus. Have you wake up?

Just lift up your sound before him. It has to come from you. It has to come from the depths [music] of who you are.

I see angels all around the room and and it it's interesting if you've ever seen what looks like um a thermometer and I see that in the middle of the room and we have to be like the people to say God you know what I've been lost this whole time. If [music] you don't respond, he will not move. In his mercy, he meets you where you [music] are, but in his love, he calls you higher.

You're not designed to stay where you are. Release your sound. >> Release your sound before your maker.

Release your sound before your king. Release your sound before your God. We call him Adoni.

That means Lord, my master, you own me. Every piece of who I am. My body, my spirit, my soul.

You own me. [music] There is nothing in this life that is worth [music] that is worth me walking away from you. [singing] Outside of you, I'm lost.

I'm lost. I'm lost. I'm lost.

Oh God, I'm lost without you. And [music and singing] I'm desperate for you. [music] And [singing] I'm lost without [music and singing] you.

And now [singing and music] I'm desperate for you. >> And [singing] I'm lost without you. This is the [singing] >> This is the your holy [singing] presence >> [music and singing] >> in me.

>> This is [music] my daily [singing] bread. Oh, [music] >> this is my [singing] daily bread. >> Your [singing] very word [music] spoken [singing] to me [music] and [singing] I'm desperate [music] for you and [singing and music] I [music] I'm lost [singing] without you [music] and I [singing] [music] I'm blessed for [music] you and [music] [singing] [music] I'm lost without [singing] you.

>> I see [music] there are people that the Lord wants to touch right now. And however you can find your way as just get get out of wherever you're standing or [music] wherever you are, just find a way to get close to us. And listen [music] to this because there there are different things I see that is about to happen.

And the first thing the Lord is showing me about people [music] that need to come out of agreement with darkness. There are lifestyles that we have embodied and we call it sexual freedom. But I will tell you this as a person of the spirit that even homosexuality is not an identity.

It is spiritual. You see just a [music] moment. The same way that principalities that these fallen angels are looking for territories is the same way demonic spirits are looking for bodies because demons can only fulfill their nature through a person.

You think you have an attraction to same sex. You call it your identity but it is a spirit living itself through you. >> It is not your identity.

And the Lord is showing me I see where the Lord wants to bring restoration and it's taking me into your the journey of your past. And I see a particular individual Holy Spirit, touch your people. I see a young man and the first time you were molested, you remember it because you had on these pajamas, these blue pajamas, [music] [snorts] and you don't realize that trauma is a gate.

Trauma opens the door for the enemy to step in. And from that moment, you began to believe that this was your identity. You see, when the Lord begins to reveal one, there are many people [music] he's touching in the room.

Jesus is alpha omega. There is something he began to teach [music] me when it comes to deliverance and in particular deliverance from spirits that gain access through trauma because what happens is the spirits trauma causes your soul to be fragmented. [music] So you're you're not one with yourself and the spirits wrap themselves around that fragmented piece of you.

So you no longer know the difference between you and the spirit. And you cannot cast out a spirit you're in agreement with. But rulers of darkness will have you believe it is you.

And so they gain the territory. Have you ever questioned why the the parade for LGBTQ is called pride? These are spiritual things and the principality would want us to be mute because if we speak about it, we could get cancelled.

Then cancel me. You can't cancel who you didn't form. I have seen many delivered out of this and I see the hand of God that wants to bring restoration now.

But [music] it cannot happen if you stay in agreement. [music] It is not you. It is [music] not you.

We were in prayer and there is a lady that the spirit of gluttony is is literally there is a demonic spirit in your belly and that spirit has been keeping you from intimacy with God because you see if demons cannot stop you from knowing God they will try to stop you from growing in God. So what when you're supposed to run to God, you run to food and you think it's a hunger issue and you think it's a discipline issue, but by the hand of God, I judge that spirit. >> Come out of her.

The Lord is in this place. Lord, you said that where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Prayer team, be sensitive.

Be sensitive. I see the Lord about to touch somebody here and you've been having these demonic dreams where you're constantly constantly being molested in your dreams. Every spirit husband and spirit spouse, I break it off your life in the name of Jesus.

This is the sound of deliverance. Because before the Lord can put anointing on you, what has been ruling over you must be dethroned. The revival must start in you.

Lord Jesus, open their eyes to see where there is agreement. Let's just worship to Bashma Adonai. There is something the Lord is about to do.

Just be sensitive in this place. Be sensitive in this place. There are things you may be blind to.

But as you call him your Lord and your Master, tell him to have his way over you. This young lady is called to be a mighty evangelist. [music] People be team be sensitive.

Let no one hurt themselves. >> Let's worship. [singing] [singing] Sh [singing] [singing] my >> [singing and music] >> El [singing] shall [singing] not [music and singing] die.

>> [singing] >> The spirit of God is about to do something. No sound. No sound.

Lord Jesus, it starts with us. Wherever the principalities of this region has found a place in your people, loose them now in the name of Jesus. Strongholds in the mind where they have taken themselves.

I see those that went for what they call wellness but is demonic. Wherever their agreement, open the door for demonic spirit and activity. Lord, let their presence in the place that you are in because this might be a bar, but we call it the house of God because where the spirit of the Lord is, we acknowledge it as a place, Lord God, that you will loose your people because this might be a bar, but we declare even to the territory that the churches will begin TO BUY OUT THE BARS.

>> [applause] >> And Lord, we thank you for meeting us with your presence. I see angels with keys in their hands. Because no matter where they have thrown you into captivity, Jesus has gone to the depths of it all.

>> I declare freedom over this place. Every stubborn spirit be gone in the name of Jesus. Every tormenting spirit.

The spirit of lust. You thought that was just you being promiscuous. But spirit of lust, I cast you out in the name of Jesus.

Spirit of deafness. I see someone who is deaf in their right ear. Unlock them, God.

Everyone who has been held bound and in captivity, I declare freedom over you now in the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord.

Thank you Lord. I see five people. that the Lord is about to anoint to activate your speech again and to bring you into the place of your ordination.

What he called you as, he's about to empower you to walk out. Be sensitive. Be sensitive.

Spirit of the living God, locate them. Locate them now. Let your anointing come upon them.

Let your anointing come upon them. Let your anointing come upon them. I call your children out of hiding.

I call them out of hiding. >> I call them out of hiding. I call them out of hiding.

Let your anointing come stronger. As you yield, he comes. >> As you yield, he comes.

The Lord will never force himself upon you. But if you would make this declaration in your heart and say, "God, I am surrendered." Even if I'm scared, let the anointing locate you. Lord, even if I'm scared, I will go.

Let it come upon you. The Lord will not call you and not equip you. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. >> Thank you, Jesus. I see an angel of the Lord where people literally have a garment and that garment is called shame.

And he is stripping it off you. He's stripping it off you. And what he's about to place on you is a mantle.

Because when you are in Christ, you are a new creation. Old things have passed away. But you have been holding on to that garment and has been keeping you bound.

There are mistakes you made. But when you come before the Lord, the Lord forgives you before you even ask. Be marked by his blood.

Be marked by his blood. AS YOU REPENT BEFORE HIM, [screaming] even for decisions made on a table of exchange where abortions were had. I cancel the spirit of death active in your life.

I disconnect you and bring you out of agreement with every spirit of death in the name of Jesus. You cannot carry two garments at the same time. As the angels of the Lord are removing shame from you, receive your mantels.

>> [screaming] >> A mantle gives you the ability to do what is supernatural naturally. [screaming] This is a battle of kingdoms. This is a battle of kingdoms.

Let the kingdom of God be established in this region in the name of Jesus. [cheering] >> There are people that are called to media and entertainment and you have gone in another garment. But let the spirit of God remove EVERY CLOAK OF DARKNESS OFF OF YOU AND BE A SCENT ONE.

that you WOULD GO AND ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM. Let that anointing come upon you now. I see where there are a lot of you that are timid.

You walk in timidity and the spirit of the Lord. You see the apostles prayed for boldness. So boldness can come upon through prayer.

Even though you walk in timidity, THE LORD IS SHOWING YOU AS a Gideon. >> YOU ARE HIDING, BUT you are mighty in God. The Lord sees you as a mighty warrior.

>> But because of disappointment from relationships, you have become a coward. Let the Lord touch you. Now, >> the way he created you, you see, you you can be fashionable, and it's actually part of God's design in you.

There is something about you that will draw PEOPLE TO YOU, BUT YOU HAVE allowed the wrong spirits in. Let the spirit of God every workings of darkness be arrested in this place. Never to return again.

Never to return again. You see, there is an anointing. I'm I and I'm I'm still seeing the oil that the Lord wants to pour, but there is still more because they need to he needs to first remove what you have been carrying.

Just be sensitive. Be sensitive. Lord, let that oil pour.

Let it pour upon your people. Locate them. Spirit of the Lord, locate them.

Those that need empowerment, those that have come into the season of their ordination, begin to raise up your apostles. Begin to raise up your prophets. Begin to raise up your evangelists.

Begin to raise up your teachers. BEGIN TO RAISE UP YOUR PASTORS. BEGIN TO RAISE UP YOUR ACTORS.

BEGIN TO RAISE UP YOUR MODELS. BEGIN TO RAISE UP YOUR DESIGNERS. RAISE THEM UP WITH THE SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD.

LORD ELIJAH CALLED ON FIRE FOR THE ALTAR, BUT LORD, set us on fire. >> Let the ANOINTING OF FIRE COME UPON YOUR PEOPLE. >> Let us burn.

Let us burn. Let the anointing of fire fall. Let the anointing of fire that will quench every compromise in you, let it fall.

[cheering] There's an anointing for healing the Lord is about to release to three people. You're not even in ministry or anything like that. And that is the point because the Lord needs you in the marketplace.

There is a fire that is about to come in your hands, Lord. Those that you want to release an anointing for healing, locate them. Let the anointing come upon them and they would know it is not them that does the works, but it is Christ in them.

Lord, out of this room, raise up intercessors. >> Let the spirit of prayer come upon your people. >> This is an activation room.

>> We are just getting started. Thank you Lord. >> Thank you Lord.

>> Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord.

Just place your hand on your head and just say, "Lord, do not pass me by. Whatever this season requires of me, >> fill me to the overflow. In my weakness, be my strength.

I surrender to you, Lord. Have your way. >> Now, something is about to happen, but I want you to understand this.

How we experience God is different for different people. Because your experience is not like another does not mean the Lord didn't touch you. In meetings like this, the enemy will try to convince you that something is wrong with you.

But everything we do in this kingdom is by faith. And you have to know the character and the nature of the Jesus you serve. All that come to him receive from him.

If you come to him, there is something you receive from him. You have to receive it by faith. Sometimes it will come by a knowing and sometimes it comes by an anointing.

And because the human body cannot contain, cannot handle the presence of God, the human physical body begins to manifest. So I want you to be sensitive. Don't be looking around there.

If God is dealing with a person, begin to ask the Holy Spirit, in what area is he dealing with you? >> We have a team. Everybody's going to be fine.

And I'm saying this because of what is about to happen right now. There's an outpour. Holy Spirit, release it.

what your children need to be activated for the advancement of your kingdom. You know the uniqueness of their walk. Just close your eyes before the Lord.

activate them. Activate them. Activate them.

Every corner of this room, let it be like electricity. Activate them. that the source of their strength would be you.

The source of that which they do will be empowered by you. Every false illumination, every false empowerment, we dethrone you. every false light we dethrone you.

That the callings of your people would be activated by the spirit of God and not false illumination. Every stubborn demonic spirit Leave >> now. >> Never return.

>> Any spirit hiding, leave now. Now and never return in the name of the Lord. Anything that will keep God's people bound, I command you now, leave and never return.

Every spirit in the womb, leave now and never return. >> Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Let us be filled by your spirit oh God.

Let us be filled by your spirit oh God in Jesus name. Now, if you don't know the Lord and you have been tormented by spirits that must obey the word of the Lord, but you don't know the Lord, you don't want to walk out of here without knowing the Lord. it would be useless because when something goes out now when you know the Lord, it could be that there are areas of your life that are just influenced by these spirits because of where agreement has happened.

And when you begin to shut those doors and you turn, that's what repentance is about. You turn so that you can be on the mark. You can follow the Lord in the way that he has called you.

But if you don't know the Lord, it is dangerous territory because the spirit of God must govern you. And I just want to have a moment for anyone who wants to say yes to Jesus. That is the goal.

It is to say yes to him and to grow in him. If you don't know Jesus and you want to commit your life to him, just lift up your hand. Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord. We see you. [applause] We see you.

And whatever drew you here, I see one more person that I see the Lord is after. I don't know who that person is. I see this young man.

and you're just fighting because if if you're honest, you have a lot of weird altars at home and all these weird things that you put together and this crystal is for that energy and this energy and if you know I'm speaking to you because you're really you see here's here's something that is very dangerous about when you start coming to truth but you stay in darkness because darkness does not want to let you go and the enemy If he has legal rights over you, will try everything. The moment he sees you approaching light a little bit closer, but you're still like dancing around it, he will try everything to you. And in your home in lit, it's the Lord is showing me your bathroom where you have all these weird crystals.

Now, if it was for fashion, hey, but when you start to call it what cleanses and what gives energy, you invite spirits. Who is that gentleman? You need to commit your life to the Lord.

Raise up your hand. How long would you waver? How long would you waver?

How long? Make a decision. If you're going to be bold for Christ, be bold.

How long will you waver if the Lord is knocking at your door? Answer. Answer.

We're going to give it one more minute. And if not, just meet me after this service if you feel like how how is it that you knew what I was in my room. But if that is you, just lift up your hand.

We want to pray with you. We want to receive you. I see a young lady.

Amen. Amen. But there's also a man that the Lord is after.

And I'm excited for you. >> That's right. Listen, we've all been crazy.

It is amazing and a miracle that I would minister in what is a club. This is a club because I used to be in the clubs and I would be on the podium pouring drinks in people's mouths. But now we're releasing the spirit of God.

>> It's not judgment. It's transformation to the truth of who you've always been called to be. There is something God is starting in this city.

I was speaking to pastor Té this morning and we were praying and he he was talking about the day the day this today being January 22nd and he be reminded me about Isaiah 22:22 when it talks about the key of David that you will shut a thing that cannot be opened and you would open a thing that cannot be shut. God is about to move a in a way in this city like we have not seen, we have not known. And what is happening, what is happening in this room is the same thing that happened with Elijah as he began to intercede.

He kept interceding. What he saw, he sent out his servant. He said, "Have what do you see?

What do you see?" And the servant said, "I see a cloud like the form," I think it was like the form of a hand. Basically, I see something very small, but Elijah could discern that that small thing is about to be overwhelming. >> So, let's the kingdom of God would advance regardless, but it is a privilege to be a [music] part of it because the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord.

But if I get to be a part of it, it is a blessing. One more time. Who Who is that gentleman?

If you're ready, this is not something we force on you. You have to give your life to God. You have to choose it.

But why I'm calling you out is because what [music] is keeping you right now is fear. And you can meet any of us after the service. But I want you to just step into [music] boldness now.

Stop allowing these rulers of darkness to torment and control your life and distort your identity. But if you want to meet us after, cuz God will meet you where you are, but he won't keep you there. Now, for those that lifted up their hands, um I want us to we're going to pray with you in just a moment because we also have a study Bible to give you because this is not salvation is not just what happens.

You go home and you continue living your life the way you've used, right? There's a Can we put that QR code? We just want to equip you with [music] things and ways that you can grow in the Lord.

And part of that of what we're going to give you physically is a study Bible. Many people don't have physical Bibles. That's a problem because while you're reading your Bible on your phone, you get text messages, you get notifications, and you go from reading the Bible to a Tik Tok challenge, right?

[laughter] It's real. This is real life. And so, let us pray.

If if you said yes to Jesus, just lift up your hands. Let's all pray together. Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord. And just repeat after me. Let's do this as one.

Thank you, Lord. Lord Jesus, >> Jesus, >> thank you >> for meeting me. >> Where I am.

>> I am. >> For setting me free. >> Setting me free.

>> And calling me higher. >> Calling me higher. >> I call you Lord.

>> I call you. >> I call you master. >> I call you.

>> I call you savior. >> Call you savior. >> Have your way in me.

>> Have your way in me. come into my life. >> And teach me and mold me and shape me.

I receive the life of Jesus. >> I receive the life of Jesus. >> Let it no longer be I that live >> but Christ Jesus Christ >> that lives in me in [music] Jesus mighty name.
