I WANT TO TALK TO YOU THIS MORNING ABOUT SOME THINGS
THAT HONESTLY I FEEL THE CHURCH IS PRETTY TIGHT LIPPED ON, HONESTLY
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I’VE HEARD A MESSAGE TALKING ABOUT THESE THINGS
I’M NOT MAD AT ANYBODY BUT,
I’M JUST TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE DEPRESSED AND DON’T KNOW WHY
I’M TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE ADDICTED AND DON’T KNOW WHY
I’M TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE DO THINGS THEY HATE AND DON’T KNOW WHY
I’M TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE ATTRACT THE SAME KIND OF PEOPLE IN THEIR LIFE AND DON’T KNOW WHY
I MEAN….
- THEY DON’T EVEN LIKE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THEY ATTRACT…LOL
OH COME ON SOMEBODY...
PEOPLE ARE SWINGING AGAINST AN ENEMY THAT THEY CAN NOT SEE
AND I BELIEVE……WHERE THE PULPIT IS SILENT
THE PEOPLE STRUGGLE
WE WILL BE A CHURCH THAT WILL NOT SKIP OVER PAGES IN THE BIBLE
JUST BECAUSE IT’S UNCOMFORTABLE
WE SHOULDN’T BE WIGGED OUT ABOUT SPIRITUAL THINGS
WE SHOULDN’T BE WIGGED OUT ABOUT DEMONS
HOLLYWOOD ISN’T WIGGED OUT ABOUT IT
YOU SEE HOW MANY DEMONIC MOVIES THEY SHOW AROUND HALLOWEEN?
THE CHURCH WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY OVER DEMONS
SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO TALK ABOUT DEMONS
BUT FOR SOME REASON ….. WE ARE
WE’RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WAYS THE ENEMY INFLUENCES AND TRIES TO CONTROL OUR LIVES
DEMONIC POSSESSION THAT YOU SEE ON TV...
IS ONE OF THE LEAST USED TACTICS OF THE ENEMY
THE BIBLE SAYS
HE IS MOST LETHAL WHEN....
HE MASQUERADES AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT
WHAT DO YOU MEAN MASQUERADE?
HE COMES LOOKING LIKE ONE THING
BUT HE’S REALLY SOMETHING ELSE
THIS MORNING...
WERE GONNA TALK ABOUT GENERATIONAL CURSES, AND YOKES
AND IN A COUPLE WEEKS WERE GONNA TALK ABOUT STRONGHOLDS
OH COME ON SOMEBODY...
OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS….
WE HAVE BEEN EXPOSING THE ENEMY FOR WHAT HE IS
AND WERE GONNA CONTINUE TODAY....
EXPOSING SOME OF THE HIDDEN TACTICS HE USES TO INFLUENCE YOUR LIFE
AMEN???
GENERALLY SPEAKING MOST THINGS THAT ARE POWERFUL ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A POWERFUL SOUND
JET ENGINES -
THEY WEAR EAR PROTECTION TO WORK ON THEM
FREIGHT TRAINS - YOU CAN HEAR THEM COMING A MILE AWAY
TORNADOES - I’VE BEEN TOLD THE SOUND OF A TORNADO IS UNREAL
IT HAS THE POWER TO RIP A HOUSE FORM IT’S FOUNDATION
LET’S LOOK AT WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT SOUND...
FROM THE BEGINNING……
GOD SPOKE…..AND IT WAS
HE SPOKE AND IT BECAME
JERICHO....
IT SAYS THEY SHOUTED AND THEN.....
THE WALLS FELL
THE PEOPLE SHOUTED AND THEN...
THE ENEMY WAS THROWN INTO CONFUSION
ELIJAH....
STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF A DROUGHT
HADN’T RAINED IN 3.5 YEARS...
AND HE SAID.....I HEAR THE SOUND OF AN ABUNDANCE OF RAIN
EZEKIEL 37.
VALLEY OF DRY BONES....
GOD SAID SPEAK TO THEM
MAKE A SOUND
AND WHEN HE DID...
THE GROUND BEGIN TO SHAKE
AND THE BONES BEGIN TO AWAKEN AGAIN
DON’T WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MAKE A SOUND....
WE GOTTA MAKE A SOUND TO MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
I BELIEVE TODAY THAT WHO THE SON SETS FREE WILL BE FREE IN DEED.....
CAN I GET AN AMEN?
............................................
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,
THREE TO FOUR GENERATIONS DEEP?
SOMEONE CAN DO SOMETHING IN A BLOODLINE
AND IGNITE SOMETHING THAT LIVES IN THAT BLOODLINE
AND CONTINUES TO PERPETUATE ITSELF FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION TO GENERATION
I BELIEVE THAT TODAY....
WHAT WERE STRUGGLING WITH PUBLICLY
A GENERATION OR TWO AGO PEOPLE STRUGGLED WITH PRIVATELY
OH COME ON.....
IT WAS A PRIVATE STRUGGLE
BUT WITH EVERY GENERATION WHAT HAPPENS???
IT GROWS
BECAUSE THAT WHICH IS UN-CONFRONTED
INCREASES
OH MY LORD...
UNDERSTAND THIS…..
THE WORD INIQUITY IS NOT....SIN
THE WORD FOR SIN IN THE BIBLE IS....
HAM-AR-TEE-AH (HAMARTIA)
MEANS - TO MISS THE MARK
THINK ABOUT AN ARCHER.....
THE CENTER OF THE TARGET WOULD BE A BULLSEYE.
ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE PERFECT GLORY OF GOD....IS SIN
THIS IS WHY THE BIBLE SAYS....
FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF HIS GLORY
EVERYDAY…WE FALL SHORT
SIN OF OMISSION...
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE BUT DIDN’T DO IT
SIN OF COMMISSION...
DO SOMETHING YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE
HE SAID WE HAVE ALL FALLEN SHORT OF HIS GLORY.....
IN OTHER WORDS...
THERE IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD HAVE DONE FOR HIS GLORY BUT DIDN’T
SIN OF OMISSION..
OR THERE IS SOMETHING Wrong WE MAY NOT WANT TO DO BUT DO IT ANYWAY
SIN OF COMMISSION
THIS IS WHY WE ARE IN NEED OF GOD’S GRACE AND MERCY.
WE LIVE OUR LIVES TO PLEASE GOD BUT WHEN WE FALL SHORT…GOD’S GRACE IS SUFFICIENT
THE WORD INIQUITY MEANS...
BENT OR TWISTED
INIQUITY IS THIS....
UNFAIR, UNJUST, UNEQUAL
INIQUITY IS THE CHARACTER AND NATURE OF SIN...
SINS THAT MAY EFFECT YOU THROUGH THE BLOODLINE
WOULD BE UNJUST AND UNFAIR
OH COME ON…
IT’S NOT THAT YOU DID ANYTHING WRONG.
IT’S JUST INIQUITY
MAKE SINCE????
UNDERSTAND THIS….
OUR BLOOD IS CONTAMINATED...
THIS IS WHY JESUS HAD TO COME AND HIS PERFECT BLOOD BE SHED
WHEN I WAS BORN
I WAS BORN IN INIQUITY
THAT IS....MY BLOOD WAS CONTAMINATED THROUGH THE BLOODLINE
NICODEMUS ASKED JESUS...
WHAT MUST I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?
JESUS SAID....
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN
BORN AGAIN WHY???
BECAUSE MY FIRST BIRTH TWISTED ME
I NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN
BEING BORN AGAIN IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET FREE OF INIQUITY
THE BIBLE SAID...
HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANGRESSION
BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES
BY HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED (SET FREE)
THINK ABOUT THIS….
A NEW BABY FRESH ON THE BIRTHING TABLE
WILL ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING ON THE INSIDE OF THEM TWISTING THEM AND BENDING THEM...
TOWARD A PARTICULAR LIFESTYLE…WHY?
BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS….
- INIQUITIES RUN 3 AND 4 GENERATIONS DEEP
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
in other words…..
YOU CAN BE SWINGING AT SOMETHING THAT WAS STARTED BY SOMEBODY IN YOUR FAMILY THAT YOU NEVER EVEN GOT TO MEET.
IT’S GENERATIONAL CURSES
MAN PASTOR CHRIS...
THAT SEEMS REALLY UNFAIR
IT IS UNFAIR…WE DON’T TALK ABOUT IT...
WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO FIGHT AGAINST THEM....
GENERATIONAL CURSES...
GIVE YOU THE PROPENSITY TO BE TEMPTED IN A CERTAIN AREA
1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
THE SIN.....SINGULAR
BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET SAVED...
THERE IS A THOUSAND SINS YOU CAN DROP WITHOUT EFFORT
BUT THEN THERES THAT ONE
OH COME ON....
THE ONE THAT IS THERE TO ALWAYS SET YOU BACK WHEN YOU TAKE A STEP FORWARD...
PROGRESS…BOOM.....A WALL
IT’S THE ONE SIN THAT DON’T WANT TO GO AWAY
AND IT’S THE ONE THAT IS SO DIFFICULT TO GET RID OF
WHY???
BECAUSE IT WAS PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE INIQUITY OF THE BLOOD LINE....
13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.
THE DEVIL DIDN’T MAKE YOU DO ANYTHING....
ALL HE KNOWS IS THE DESIRE THAT IS WITHIN YOU....
AND HE GIVES OPPORTUNITY
IT’S LIKE A RADIO CONTROLLED CAR...
I CAN CONTROL THE CAR FROM A DISTANCE BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING UNDER THE HOOD THAT IS CONNECTED TO IT
OH MY LORD....
THE ENEMY KNOW WHATS UNDER YOUR HOOD....
OH MY LORD…
THE DEVIL DOESN’T MAKE YOU SIN...
ALL HE HAS TO DO IS....
GIVE THE DESIRE THAT IS ALREADY IN YOU....
OPPORTUNITY
THIS IS WHAT KEEPS….
DRAGGING US BACK TO THE SAME OLE THINGS....
IT’S DESIRE THAT IS ALREADY WITHIN US
oh come on….
ALCOHOL/DRUGS
IT’S THE REASON YOUR CLEAN FOR 7 MONTHS AND THEN RELAPSE
IT’S THE REASON FOR THE SAME DESTRUCTIVE CYCLES AND PATTERNS IN YOUR MARRIAGE YOU CAN’T SHAKE LOOSE FROM
THE DEVIL IS TOYING WITH WHAT’S UNDER YOUR HOOD.....
OH MY LORD…HELP US
THIS IS IMPORTANT……
THERE IS AN ANOINTING THAT CAN BREAK THAT
THERE IS A POWER THAT COMES FROM THE ANOINTING OF GOD
THAT CAN SHATTER THOSE DESIRES
THAT CAN CHANGE THOSE DESIRES THAT COME FROM INIQUITIES OF THE BLOODLINE
15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
OH COME ON....
IN OTHER WORDS....
WHEN YOU DON’T CONFRONT THE DESIRE
IT’S GOING TO DO SOMETHING
WHEN FULL GROWN, IT BRINGS DEATH.
IN OTHER WORDS....
WHAT YOU DON’T CONFRONT GROWS.
WRITE THIS DOWN...
INIQUITIES SEEK TO ALTAR YOUR IDENTITY
LET ME SHOW YOU...
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.
2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 So I said:
“Woe is me, for I am undone!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of hosts.”
ISAIAH SAID...
I DON’T BELONG HERE
I AM UNWORTHY
I HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING HERE
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said:
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin purged.”
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:
“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?”
Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
NOTICE THE CHANGE
UNDER HIS INIQUITY...
I DON’T BELONG HERE
I SHOULDN’T BE HERE
I’M NOT WORTHY OF THIS
BUT GOD WAS CALLING HIS TO BE A PROPHET....
A VOICE FOR GOD
BUT WHAT HAD TO HAPPEN??
THE INIQUITY HAD TO BE BROKEN
BEFORE HE COULD BE ALL THAT GOD HAD CALLED HIM TO BE
COME ON SOMEBODY...
TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR...
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THAT.
GOD WANTS TO SET YOU FREE
AND BREAK THOSE GENERATIONAL CURSES
BREAK THE YOKE OF BONDAGE
LETS TALK ABOUT THE YOKE FOR A SECOND...
27 It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.
REMEMBER.....
GENERATIONAL CURSES - NATURE
GENETICALLY PASSED THROUGH THE BLOODLINE
YOKES - NURTURE
THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO YOU
THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO US TEND TO....YOKE US
IN OTHER WORDS....
YOU GOT MOLESTED WHEN YOU WERE 11 AND YOUR STILL BRINGING TOXIC PEOPLE INTO YOUR LIFE AT THE AGE OF 41....
OH COME ON….
THAT EVENT IN YOUR LIFE YOKED YOU AND NOW...
YOUR TAKING ON THE PATTERN OF THE YOKE
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY YOKE AN OX IN THE BIBLE
THEY YOKE THEM YOUNG SO THAT THEY ARE EASIER TO CONTROL WHEN THEY ARE OLDER.
THEY DON’T KNOW ANYTHING DIFFERENT
ALL THEY KNOW IS THE PATTERN THEY HAVE BEEN YOKED TO FOR.
LORD JESUS HELP US....
SOMEBODY WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG EXPOSED YOU TO SOMETHING THAT WAS TWISTED AND NOW..
IT CONTROLS YOU
IT HAS ENSLAVED YOUR LIFE
OH COME ON...
THE ANOINTING CAN DESTROY THAT YOKE AND REMOVE THE BURDEN THAT COMES WITH THAT YOKE.
NOW LETS TALK ABOUT THAT....
THE ANOINTING
MOST DELIVERANCE IS NOT EXTERNAL!!!
IT CAN HAPPEN
WE BELIEVE IN IT
THE BIBLE IS FULL OF.....
AND SUDDENLY
AND IMMEDIATELY HE SPRUNG UP
OH COME ON....
THE BIBLE IS FULL OF THINGS THAT WERE DELIVERED IMMEDIATELY
AND IT WAS BROKEN FOREVER
BUT, THE WORD ANOINTING IN ISAIAH 10.
WE THINK IT MEANS....AHHHH POWER, HEALING IMMEDIATELY.
THAT WORD ANOINTING IN ISAIAH 10:27. MEANS...
FATNESS
SOME YOKES ARE NOT BROKEN EXTERNALLY
IT BREAKS WHEN YOU GROW TO THE POINT THAT IT CAN NO LONGER HOLD YOU......LOL
OH MY LORD....
IT BREAKS WHEN YOU BECOME BIGGER THAN THE YOKE....
THIS IS WHY WE GO TO CHURCH
THIS IS WHY WE READ OUR BIBLE
OH COME ON SOMEBODY
WHEN WE GROW IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD....
THE YOKE NO LONGER HAS POWER TO HOLD US
OR TO CONTROL US OR ENSLAVE US
BECAUSE GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN ME....
THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD
LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND TELL THEM....
LETS GET FAT TOGETHER
SOME THINGS BREAK INTERNALLY
WHERE YOU GROW TO A PLACE WHERE WHAT CONTROLLED YOU CAN NO LONGER CONTAIN YOU
I SAID IT LAST WEEK...
WHATEVER YOU FEED....GROWS
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ALCOHOL…CREATE SOME SPACE BETWEEN THAT THING AND YOU
WHEN WE REMOVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR FLESH
THE SINFUL DESIRE GROWS WEAKER
THEN IF INSTEAD I GET INTO THE WORD.
MY SPIRIT BECOMES STRONGER
AND IT WON’T BE LONG BEFORE THE FATNESS....
BREAKS THAT YOKE FROM MY NECK
1 Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise in the assembly of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with the dance;
Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the humble with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory;
Let them sing aloud on their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
And a two-edged sword in their hand,
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
OH COME ON....
WE HAVE TO TAKE THE FACT THAT ....
JESUS HAS BROKEN THE CURSE
THE FACT THAT THE ANOINTING DESTROYS THE YOKE
YOU HAVE TO EXECUTE IT AND APPLY IT.....
OH COME ON SOMEBODY....
WHY DO WE PRAISE????
7 To execute vengeance on the nations,
And punishments on the peoples;
TO EXECUTE VENGEANCE ON ALL OF THOSE...
SPIRITS
PRINCIPALITIES
ALL THOSE THINGS THAT HAS RULED OUR HOUSEHOLD
AND RULED OUR FAMILY NAME FOR GENERATIONS
AND CAUSED MY KIDS TO DEAL WITH IT
AND MY GRAND KIDS TO DEAL WITH IT
8 To bind their kings with chains,
And their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute on them the written judgment—
This honor have all His saints.
Praise the Lord!
THIS HONOR HAS ALL HIS SAINTS....
OH COME ON....
BY YOUR PRAISE...
YOU CAN BREAK THE POWER OF THE ENEMY
AND IT’S YOUR HONOR TO DO SO
WORSHIP TEAM COME.....
THIS IS TAMAR AND JUDAH....TAMAR WAS ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH TO TWINS…SHE WAS PREGNANT BY JUDAH
28 And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.” 29 Then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly; and she said, “How did you break through? This breach be upon you!” Therefore his name was called Perez.
PEREZ MEANS....
SON OF BREAK THROUGH
THIS IS JUDAH’S SON...
JUDAH MEANS PRAISE
THE OFFSPRING OF PRAISE IS....
BREAK THROUGH
......STAND TO YOUR FEET WITH ME.......
HE SAID LET THE PRAISE OF GOD BE IN THEIR MOUTH AND A TWO EDGED SWORD IN THEIR HAND....
SOME OF YOU HERE THIS MORNING
NEED A BREAK THROUGH IN YOUR LIFE
YOU HAVE BEEN FIGHTING DARKNESS FOR A LONG TIME....
IT’S TIME TO GIVE GOD THE PRAISE FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE
AND WHAT HE’S ABOUT TO DO
SOME OF US NEED TO DECLARE AND BEGIN TO WALK IN THE VICTORY
AS A CHILD OF GOD
NO LONGER DO I HAVE TO LIVE...
CONTROLLED BY MY DESIRES
ENSLAVED BY GENERATIONAL CURSES
36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
WERE GONNA SING IN A MOMENT AND I WANT YOU TO FIGHT THIS MORNING
FIGHT WITH YOUR PRAISE
LET THE PRAISE OF GOD BE IN YOUR MOUTH
SHOUT, DANCE, SING, CLAP
WHATEVER YOU DO…DO IT DECLARING THE FREEDOM OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE
IT’S TIME TO TELL THE DEVIL...
NO MORE
IT’S TIME TO TAKE BACK WHAT THE ENEMY HAS STOLE FORM YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
...........WORSHIP TEAM SING...........
