WEBVTT

00:00:31.803 --> 00:00:35.985

00:00:41.188 --> 00:00:41.968
Defeated.

00:00:42.448 --> 00:00:45.469
So look at that image, defeated.

00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:49.070
He's got his sword and he's using it.

00:00:49.430 --> 00:00:53.133
And he's cutting away all of the deception

00:00:53.573 --> 00:00:57.033
of the enemy and the darkness that has

00:00:57.113 --> 00:00:58.935
kept him entrapped,

00:00:59.274 --> 00:01:01.335
that has kept him trapped.

00:01:01.636 --> 00:01:04.697
that has kept him in prison he is

00:01:04.956 --> 00:01:08.558
using his sword and cutting away the lies

00:01:08.677 --> 00:01:12.659
and the deceptive web of the enemy and

00:01:12.698 --> 00:01:15.698

Oh, may they see you.

00:01:36.067 --> 00:01:37.269

eyes to see and be forever enlightened and

00:01:43.713 --> 00:01:44.634
changed.

00:01:45.594 --> 00:01:49.677
And be forever enlightened and changed.

00:01:49.697 --> 00:01:50.819
I'm Tammy Toney-Butler.

00:01:51.194 --> 00:01:53.075
evangelists and your hosts of reflective

00:01:53.156 --> 00:01:53.575
hour.

00:01:54.257 --> 00:01:54.736
But again,

00:01:54.796 --> 00:01:57.539
we all know who's leading this show and

00:01:57.558 --> 00:02:00.200
that's Christ by way of the Holy spirit,

00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.460
the spirit of truth, the spirit of,

00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:04.483
of God that lives inside of us,

00:02:05.302 --> 00:02:08.905
that changes us layer by layer and gives

00:02:08.965 --> 00:02:12.667
us the strength and the ability to

00:02:12.687 --> 00:02:14.668
withstand the attack of the enemy,

00:02:15.449 --> 00:02:17.770
to fortify our walls and,

00:02:20.133 --> 00:02:25.155
and cut ourselves away to freedom from the

00:02:25.194 --> 00:02:30.137
deceptive web that the enemy wants to use

00:02:30.217 --> 00:02:31.537
to entrap us.

00:02:32.657 --> 00:02:37.158
How many of you have felt trapped?

00:02:38.739 --> 00:02:42.479
How many of you felt deceived?

00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:47.882
How many of you have been confused,

00:02:47.942 --> 00:02:49.481
lacking clarity this season?

00:02:52.152 --> 00:02:56.256
where does your help come from remember we

00:02:56.295 --> 00:02:59.177
don't wrestle against flesh but against

00:02:59.377 --> 00:03:03.039
evil powers principalities in high places

00:03:03.961 --> 00:03:07.703
this is a spiritual war and our weapons

00:03:08.104 --> 00:03:11.526
cannot be carnal they can't be man's

00:03:11.566 --> 00:03:14.427
weapons it's a spiritual battle you've got

00:03:14.467 --> 00:03:16.489
to fight with your spiritual weapons

00:03:17.210 --> 00:03:17.669
prayer

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:22.723
Spirit-led prayer to where you are

00:03:22.883 --> 00:03:25.126
literally listening to the Spirit,

00:03:26.747 --> 00:03:33.554
attentive, still,

00:03:33.633 --> 00:03:36.116
in a position to receive,

00:03:37.997 --> 00:03:39.520
a position of humility,

00:03:41.100 --> 00:03:41.942
and a position

00:03:43.014 --> 00:03:46.801
to pray forth God's will into a situation

00:03:47.223 --> 00:03:50.689
or about a situation with the Holy Spirit

00:03:50.729 --> 00:03:53.996
making intercession for us and us using

00:03:54.056 --> 00:03:54.737
our tools

00:03:55.686 --> 00:03:56.126
And remember,

00:03:56.186 --> 00:03:58.526
we have the authority as kingdom

00:03:58.586 --> 00:03:59.326
ambassadors,

00:03:59.366 --> 00:04:01.548
as sons and daughters of the king.

00:04:01.587 --> 00:04:03.008
Those of us that believe on the Lord

00:04:03.028 --> 00:04:06.069
Jesus Christ and his spirit dwells within

00:04:06.189 --> 00:04:06.469
us.

00:04:07.349 --> 00:04:08.729
We have the authority.

00:04:08.789 --> 00:04:10.191
We have the keys to the kingdom.

00:04:10.211 --> 00:04:11.651
The devil is under our feet.

00:04:12.671 --> 00:04:14.752
But we have to use our weapons.

00:04:15.592 --> 00:04:20.713
And we have to fight this invisible enemy

00:04:20.774 --> 00:04:21.975
with our weapons.

00:04:22.654 --> 00:04:23.815
And what weapons do we have?

00:04:23.855 --> 00:04:24.935
We have the word of God.

00:04:26.151 --> 00:04:27.713
the sword of the spirit.

00:04:29.012 --> 00:04:29.413
Right?

00:04:29.894 --> 00:04:31.353
What does it say in Ephesians?

00:04:31.994 --> 00:04:33.115
Ephesians six?

00:04:33.514 --> 00:04:34.394
Well, let's look at it.

00:04:35.016 --> 00:04:36.716
Let's go to Ephesians six.

00:04:38.737 --> 00:04:41.598
And we start in a seat in Ephesians

00:04:41.718 --> 00:04:42.338
six.

00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:45.720
And we start with ten.

00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.822
And it's titled the warfare of spirit

00:04:50.242 --> 00:04:52.103
filled believers.

00:04:54.069 --> 00:04:55.091
Finally, my brethren,

00:04:55.130 --> 00:04:57.331
be strong in the Lord and the power

00:04:57.372 --> 00:04:57.951
of his might.

00:04:58.391 --> 00:05:00.072
Put on the whole armor of a God

00:05:00.473 --> 00:05:01.973
that you may be able to stand against

00:05:02.014 --> 00:05:03.194
the wiles of the devil.

00:05:03.714 --> 00:05:05.196
For we wrestle not against flesh and

00:05:05.216 --> 00:05:07.156
blood, but against principalities,

00:05:07.197 --> 00:05:07.857
against powers,

00:05:07.896 --> 00:05:09.697
against the rulers of darkness of this

00:05:09.778 --> 00:05:10.218
world,

00:05:11.038 --> 00:05:12.699
against spiritual wickedness in high

00:05:12.718 --> 00:05:13.300
places.

00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.461
Now remember, we're in this world,

00:05:16.821 --> 00:05:18.002
but not of this world.

00:05:18.862 --> 00:05:23.545
We have access to heaven's authority

00:05:24.803 --> 00:05:27.464
Spiritual power backing us.

00:05:28.064 --> 00:05:32.908
The power from the Holy Spirit.

00:05:32.927 --> 00:05:34.728
That's why Jesus rose again.

00:05:34.767 --> 00:05:36.069
He died and he rose again.

00:05:36.408 --> 00:05:37.408
And he left us.

00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:39.550
So that we would have the keys to

00:05:39.569 --> 00:05:40.271
the kingdom.

00:05:40.571 --> 00:05:41.310
We can bind.

00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:42.170
We can loose.

00:05:42.492 --> 00:05:48.314
And we can proclaim our outcomes.

00:05:50.675 --> 00:05:52.255
We don't have to partner up.

00:05:53.103 --> 00:05:55.124
with a deceptive web of the enemy.

00:05:55.644 --> 00:05:57.326
We don't have to stay trapped.

00:05:58.067 --> 00:06:01.428
We can cut our way to freedom one

00:06:01.488 --> 00:06:02.509
layer at a time.

00:06:03.589 --> 00:06:07.692
When we let the Holy Spirit guide us

00:06:08.754 --> 00:06:12.976
by prayer and an obedient posture of

00:06:13.057 --> 00:06:15.519
surrender and say, not my will,

00:06:15.559 --> 00:06:17.000
but yours be done, O God,

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:19.622
and focus on kingdom things,

00:06:19.701 --> 00:06:21.622
kingdom building, kingdom reality,

00:06:21.642 --> 00:06:22.644
the will of God.

00:06:24.649 --> 00:06:25.810
And we will be guided.

00:06:26.350 --> 00:06:28.552
And the Holy Spirit will help us and

00:06:29.012 --> 00:06:31.634
get out of us anything that's in us

00:06:32.535 --> 00:06:36.978
that's prohibiting our walk with the Lord.

00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:39.620
That's keeping us from our kingdom purpose

00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:40.620
being fulfilled.

00:06:41.461 --> 00:06:44.584
For we were born with a purpose.

00:06:45.084 --> 00:06:46.324
You have a purpose.

00:06:47.526 --> 00:06:49.447
And the enemy wants to kill, steal,

00:06:49.487 --> 00:06:49.927
destroy,

00:06:49.947 --> 00:06:51.928
and distract and keep you

00:06:53.202 --> 00:06:54.923
from stepping into the fullness of what

00:06:54.944 --> 00:06:56.684
God has for you this season.

00:06:57.365 --> 00:06:59.185
If he can keep you distracted with the

00:06:59.204 --> 00:07:03.786
cares of life or with the deceptive web,

00:07:04.887 --> 00:07:06.708
maybe he's trying to sow seeds of

00:07:06.747 --> 00:07:10.788
bitterness in you, offense, hate, anger.

00:07:11.730 --> 00:07:14.810
Maybe he's trying to get you distracted

00:07:15.911 --> 00:07:19.413
through various opportunities that keep

00:07:19.452 --> 00:07:20.173
coming to you.

00:07:21.968 --> 00:07:24.370
Are you praying before you're saying yes

00:07:24.730 --> 00:07:28.394
to those speaking engagements,

00:07:28.435 --> 00:07:29.615
to those requests?

00:07:30.055 --> 00:07:32.617
And are you only going where God wants

00:07:32.658 --> 00:07:33.158
you to go?

00:07:34.038 --> 00:07:35.821
Are you resting when He says rest?

00:07:36.141 --> 00:07:38.583
Are you being still before the Lord and

00:07:38.642 --> 00:07:42.086
being truly led in this hour?

00:07:42.105 --> 00:07:43.887
Because there comes a moment when you stop

00:07:43.927 --> 00:07:46.230
striving, you start believing,

00:07:46.769 --> 00:07:50.112
you start receiving and you start becoming

00:07:51.547 --> 00:07:53.026
who God purposed you to be.

00:07:53.987 --> 00:07:54.728
And in that moment,

00:07:54.747 --> 00:07:56.389
you realize you're not doing any of it

00:07:56.428 --> 00:07:57.309
that God is.

00:07:57.829 --> 00:07:59.149
And you truly just give it all to

00:07:59.189 --> 00:08:00.930
him and realize you can't do it.

00:08:02.089 --> 00:08:04.610
It all has to be him because it's

00:08:04.690 --> 00:08:06.331
his kingdom assignment.

00:08:06.851 --> 00:08:08.031
And we don't know the end from the

00:08:08.072 --> 00:08:08.512
beginning.

00:08:09.452 --> 00:08:11.353
We don't know all he has for us.

00:08:11.932 --> 00:08:12.713
We might run.

00:08:13.374 --> 00:08:13.733
I mean,

00:08:14.608 --> 00:08:16.488
You know, his ways are so much higher.

00:08:17.009 --> 00:08:18.269
And so, you know,

00:08:18.389 --> 00:08:21.291
in our infinite little wisdom,

00:08:21.632 --> 00:08:23.192
our own little worldly wisdom,

00:08:24.173 --> 00:08:25.994
we can't comprehend the things of the

00:08:26.014 --> 00:08:26.995
kingdom of God.

00:08:28.035 --> 00:08:31.276
And so we have no choice but just

00:08:31.317 --> 00:08:33.558
to surrender and give it all to God.

00:08:33.578 --> 00:08:34.458
And it's so freeing.

00:08:34.719 --> 00:08:35.700
It's so freeing.

00:08:36.860 --> 00:08:39.581
And the devil just loses his grip when

00:08:39.601 --> 00:08:41.123
you don't give him any place.

00:08:41.802 --> 00:08:42.823
When you realize that

00:08:43.822 --> 00:08:45.865
He's beneath you.

00:08:46.404 --> 00:08:47.426
He's your footstool.

00:08:47.947 --> 00:08:50.129
Jesus conquered him by the blood shed on

00:08:50.168 --> 00:08:50.808
Calvary.

00:08:51.629 --> 00:08:53.611
Yes, he's an accuser of the brethren,

00:08:54.172 --> 00:08:55.873
but there's no case in the courtroom of

00:08:55.933 --> 00:08:56.254
heaven.

00:08:56.333 --> 00:08:59.155
It's been dismissed because the blood of

00:08:59.275 --> 00:09:01.258
Jesus was the final argument,

00:09:01.677 --> 00:09:02.899
the final say.

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:04.780
You were acquitted.

00:09:05.682 --> 00:09:06.503
You were let go.

00:09:06.562 --> 00:09:07.403
You were pardoned.

00:09:07.423 --> 00:09:07.943
You're done.

00:09:07.964 --> 00:09:08.664
You're free,

00:09:08.684 --> 00:09:10.005
but you just have to believe it and

00:09:10.025 --> 00:09:11.126
receive it and become it.

00:09:12.278 --> 00:09:15.419
And you have to stop being distracted and

00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:19.019
getting caught up in that web of

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:20.201
deception.

00:09:20.660 --> 00:09:23.341
That web of deception.

00:09:23.400 --> 00:09:25.461
You know how you're walking?

00:09:25.721 --> 00:09:27.881
Like I was walking through the barn this

00:09:27.961 --> 00:09:30.883
morning and I could not even see that

00:09:30.942 --> 00:09:31.722
spider web.

00:09:32.043 --> 00:09:32.763
I couldn't see one,

00:09:32.802 --> 00:09:34.504
but I started feeling it all over me.

00:09:34.524 --> 00:09:35.423
I was like, oh my gosh,

00:09:35.443 --> 00:09:36.724
let me get this off of me.

00:09:37.063 --> 00:09:38.725
How did I walk into this web?

00:09:39.184 --> 00:09:40.345
I couldn't even see it.

00:09:40.945 --> 00:09:42.687
But that's what the devil wants to do.

00:09:43.006 --> 00:09:47.211
He wants to ensnare you, to trap you,

00:09:47.511 --> 00:09:49.654
to get you caught up with the cares

00:09:49.695 --> 00:09:50.495
of this world.

00:09:50.956 --> 00:09:52.677
Instead of saying, oh,

00:09:52.837 --> 00:09:54.399
I see what you're trying to do here.

00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:56.802
I'm going to turn this over to God.

00:09:57.482 --> 00:10:00.605
who's omnipresent, omniscient, everywhere,

00:10:00.966 --> 00:10:03.748
in control, has full control,

00:10:05.308 --> 00:10:07.551
has control over everything, is sovereign.

00:10:08.410 --> 00:10:09.893
And I'm going to let my God,

00:10:09.913 --> 00:10:11.734
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,

00:10:11.774 --> 00:10:13.495
the God of our precious Lord Jesus,

00:10:13.855 --> 00:10:15.836
I'm going to let my God, that God,

00:10:16.057 --> 00:10:18.178
the powerful God that spoke the world into

00:10:18.239 --> 00:10:18.739
existence,

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.419
I'm going to let him speak to this

00:10:20.500 --> 00:10:20.860
mountain.

00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:22.861
And I'm going to remember Mark eleven,

00:10:22.902 --> 00:10:24.003
twenty two to twenty five.

00:10:24.243 --> 00:10:25.943
And I'm going to recite that scripture out

00:10:25.984 --> 00:10:27.644
loud and I'm going to let my God

00:10:27.965 --> 00:10:29.025
handle that problem.

00:10:30.027 --> 00:10:31.388
And I'm going to know in Psalm ninety

00:10:31.488 --> 00:10:31.607
one,

00:10:31.748 --> 00:10:33.328
I won't even dash my foot against a

00:10:33.408 --> 00:10:35.370
stone because I know who my God is.

00:10:36.370 --> 00:10:38.111
And I'm going to use my weapon,

00:10:38.591 --> 00:10:40.533
my sword to defeat the enemy.

00:10:40.754 --> 00:10:43.014
And I'm going to say it is written.

00:10:43.635 --> 00:10:45.437
Get thee behind me, Satan.

00:10:45.616 --> 00:10:46.677
It is written.

00:10:47.498 --> 00:10:49.221
And whatever storm you're facing,

00:10:49.520 --> 00:10:51.945
you invite God into that situation and

00:10:51.985 --> 00:10:52.966
say, Holy Spirit,

00:10:53.366 --> 00:10:54.769
I don't see a way out of this.

00:10:55.048 --> 00:10:57.292
But I know, I know, I know,

00:10:57.413 --> 00:10:59.455
I know that God is with me and

00:10:59.535 --> 00:11:00.697
I know he's going to help me.

00:11:00.977 --> 00:11:02.639
And I know he'll never leave me and

00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:03.822
he'll never forsake me.

00:11:04.201 --> 00:11:05.383
So during this trial,

00:11:05.423 --> 00:11:06.722
what am I supposed to learn?

00:11:06.943 --> 00:11:08.384
Am I supposed to maybe,

00:11:08.803 --> 00:11:11.365
maybe realize my authority as a believer

00:11:11.686 --> 00:11:14.267
and step out in faith and speak to

00:11:14.287 --> 00:11:17.589
this situation and command that illness to

00:11:17.688 --> 00:11:20.931
leave and command the body to come in

00:11:20.971 --> 00:11:24.493
alignment with God's word and command my

00:11:24.552 --> 00:11:28.534
body to walk in total restoration and

00:11:28.575 --> 00:11:30.635
divine health all the days of my life

00:11:30.655 --> 00:11:32.297
because that's what it says I have access

00:11:32.317 --> 00:11:32.476
to.

00:11:33.216 --> 00:11:34.498
Am I going to believe the word of

00:11:34.538 --> 00:11:34.857
God?

00:11:34.898 --> 00:11:36.538
Am I going to use my sword against

00:11:36.578 --> 00:11:38.821
the enemy that's already been defeated?

00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:40.522
We already have the victory.

00:11:41.001 --> 00:11:42.543
But the devil wants to get us caught

00:11:42.582 --> 00:11:45.284
up in stinking thinking and get us to

00:11:45.644 --> 00:11:47.166
believe his lies.

00:11:48.535 --> 00:11:50.678
And we give too much place to the

00:11:50.719 --> 00:11:51.099
devil.

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:53.542
We only need to recite scripture.

00:11:54.101 --> 00:11:57.005
We don't even have to get upset with

00:11:57.025 --> 00:11:58.768
the devil, you know, meaning, you know,

00:11:58.807 --> 00:12:00.028
devil, I bind you, you know,

00:12:00.089 --> 00:12:01.311
just like use harsh words.

00:12:01.350 --> 00:12:03.173
We just get devil, I bind you.

00:12:04.298 --> 00:12:05.958
You know, I bind you.

00:12:06.239 --> 00:12:07.519
The word of God says I have the

00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:09.520
power and authority to bind and loose.

00:12:10.280 --> 00:12:11.802
So by the power of the Lord Jesus

00:12:11.841 --> 00:12:14.263
Christ, by his blood shed on Calvary,

00:12:14.644 --> 00:12:15.663
under his name,

00:12:15.703 --> 00:12:17.504
the name that is above every other name,

00:12:18.446 --> 00:12:20.527
I speak to this mountain and I cast

00:12:20.586 --> 00:12:21.407
it into the sea.

00:12:21.847 --> 00:12:22.488
I speak.

00:12:22.788 --> 00:12:25.910
to the chronic pain and I rebuke it.

00:12:25.990 --> 00:12:28.011
Spirit of infirmary, I won't have it.

00:12:28.332 --> 00:12:30.033
And I plead the blood of Jesus over

00:12:30.073 --> 00:12:34.437
the root and I loose myself from sickness.

00:12:34.817 --> 00:12:37.279
I loose myself from addiction.

00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.322
I loose myself by the power of the

00:12:40.381 --> 00:12:41.683
Lord Jesus Christ.

00:12:42.283 --> 00:12:44.306
from chronic fatigue.

00:12:44.806 --> 00:12:49.068
I have the strength of Isaiah forty thirty

00:12:49.349 --> 00:12:49.509
one.

00:12:49.789 --> 00:12:52.052
That's what my portion is.

00:12:52.131 --> 00:12:54.974
Healing is my portion and I believe it

00:12:55.033 --> 00:12:56.695
and I receive it and I walk in

00:12:56.715 --> 00:12:59.076
it and I refuse to let the devil

00:12:59.277 --> 00:13:00.158
entrap me

00:13:00.638 --> 00:13:03.019
with his lies let's go on and let's

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:05.022
read this finally my brethren be strong in

00:13:05.042 --> 00:13:06.123
the lord and the power of his might

00:13:06.283 --> 00:13:07.443
put on the whole armor of god that

00:13:07.464 --> 00:13:08.625
you may be able to stand against the

00:13:08.664 --> 00:13:10.746
wiles of the devil for we wrestle not

00:13:10.767 --> 00:13:12.107
against flesh and blood but against

00:13:12.148 --> 00:13:13.970
principalities powers against the rulers

00:13:13.990 --> 00:13:15.831
of the darkness of this world and against

00:13:15.871 --> 00:13:17.613
spiritual wickedness in high places

00:13:18.173 --> 00:13:20.495
wherefore take unto you the whole armor of

00:13:20.515 --> 00:13:21.996
god that you may be able to withstand

00:13:22.037 --> 00:13:23.378
in the evil day and having done all

00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:24.620
to stand stand

00:13:25.528 --> 00:13:27.452
therefore having your loins skirt about

00:13:27.472 --> 00:13:29.996
with truth having on the breastplate of

00:13:30.057 --> 00:13:30.739
righteousness

00:13:31.794 --> 00:13:33.416
And your feet shall be the preparation of

00:13:33.436 --> 00:13:34.537
the gospel of peace.

00:13:35.017 --> 00:13:37.038
Above all, taking the shield of faith,

00:13:37.597 --> 00:13:39.879
wherewith you shall be able to quench all

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:42.620
the fiery darts of the wicked and take

00:13:42.660 --> 00:13:44.741
the helmet of salvation and the sword of

00:13:44.783 --> 00:13:47.464
the spirit, which is the word of God.

00:13:47.923 --> 00:13:49.945
Praying always with all prayer and

00:13:49.985 --> 00:13:52.346
supplication in the spirit and watching

00:13:52.366 --> 00:13:54.107
thereunto with all perseverance and

00:13:54.148 --> 00:13:57.309
supplication for all saints."

00:13:57.909 --> 00:14:00.730
for all saints and when we look at

00:14:00.770 --> 00:14:03.991
the the commentary it says as the sword

00:14:04.032 --> 00:14:06.452
is a weapon so is prayer in fact

00:14:06.513 --> 00:14:08.714
prayer is given the most prominent place

00:14:09.573 --> 00:14:12.054
the most space in paul's description of a

00:14:12.134 --> 00:14:15.135
fully armed christian soldier

00:14:16.174 --> 00:14:18.297
The importance of prayer is seen in verse

00:14:18.797 --> 00:14:22.039
eighteen with the repeated emphasis on all

00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:24.341
all prayer and supplication with all

00:14:24.402 --> 00:14:27.365
perseverance for all the saints to pray in

00:14:27.384 --> 00:14:29.807
the spirit means to pray with the guidance

00:14:29.966 --> 00:14:32.969
and assistance of the Holy Spirit while

00:14:33.009 --> 00:14:34.571
continuing to stand firm.

00:14:34.971 --> 00:14:37.712
A believer is also to pray and to

00:14:38.033 --> 00:14:39.674
stay alert.

00:14:40.745 --> 00:14:41.826
Look at that part though,

00:14:42.265 --> 00:14:45.888
a fully armed Christian soldier.

00:14:46.489 --> 00:14:48.951
Did you realize that you're a fully armed

00:14:49.010 --> 00:14:50.030
Christian soldier,

00:14:50.812 --> 00:14:53.273
that we're in a war and that you

00:14:53.313 --> 00:14:55.335
were formed with a purpose and you have

00:14:55.355 --> 00:14:56.836
a part to play in the kingdom of

00:14:56.895 --> 00:14:59.758
God and advancing it on earth as it

00:14:59.798 --> 00:15:00.378
is in heaven?

00:15:01.178 --> 00:15:03.880
Are you stepping into your role as an

00:15:03.921 --> 00:15:06.221
ambassador for the kingdom of God?

00:15:07.023 --> 00:15:09.764
Are you speaking reality?

00:15:11.041 --> 00:15:15.102
the reality of the light over individual's

00:15:15.163 --> 00:15:15.462
lives?

00:15:15.482 --> 00:15:18.903
Or are you speaking darkness, curses?

00:15:19.803 --> 00:15:21.764
Are you guarding your tongue?

00:15:22.585 --> 00:15:24.125
Are you watching what you say?

00:15:24.446 --> 00:15:26.466
Is out of your heart flowing rivers of

00:15:26.547 --> 00:15:27.407
living water?

00:15:29.248 --> 00:15:29.628
Is it?

00:15:31.448 --> 00:15:35.289
What if the devil got you over into

00:15:35.610 --> 00:15:37.130
the cares of the world?

00:15:38.297 --> 00:15:40.597
and you were actually operating with a

00:15:40.658 --> 00:15:42.678
spirit of error or spirit of deception,

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.760
and you didn't even really realize it.

00:15:45.801 --> 00:15:47.981
But you're sowing offensive seeds,

00:15:48.363 --> 00:15:50.484
slander maybe, gossiping,

00:15:51.104 --> 00:15:54.926
and calling it discernment.

00:15:54.985 --> 00:15:56.986
We have to truly analyze ourselves,

00:15:57.027 --> 00:15:59.168
do a spiritual inventory this season,

00:16:00.028 --> 00:16:01.710
and truly be led by the Spirit of

00:16:01.750 --> 00:16:02.190
God.

00:16:03.010 --> 00:16:05.172
We have to step out in our authority.

00:16:06.567 --> 00:16:08.368
And we have to bind and we have

00:16:08.408 --> 00:16:09.087
to loose.

00:16:09.989 --> 00:16:12.109
We have to forbid or we have to

00:16:12.168 --> 00:16:16.671
allow because we have the authority.

00:16:16.711 --> 00:16:19.332
Christ gave us, his church,

00:16:19.692 --> 00:16:21.352
the keys to the kingdom.

00:16:22.333 --> 00:16:23.914
And you can hold in your hand the

00:16:23.975 --> 00:16:25.715
keys to the kingdom because we're the

00:16:25.735 --> 00:16:26.216
body.

00:16:26.796 --> 00:16:27.875
Christ is the head.

00:16:28.456 --> 00:16:30.177
The head doesn't have arms and feet,

00:16:30.216 --> 00:16:32.057
according to old saying of Kenneth Hagin.

00:16:33.458 --> 00:16:33.678
So

00:16:35.153 --> 00:16:37.634
We have the arms, the body.

00:16:37.934 --> 00:16:38.735
We've got to use them.

00:16:39.115 --> 00:16:40.316
We've got to use the keys to the

00:16:40.336 --> 00:16:42.096
kingdom.

00:16:42.176 --> 00:16:43.596
And we've got to use our sword.

00:16:44.356 --> 00:16:45.236
We've got to speak.

00:16:45.356 --> 00:16:46.177
It is finished.

00:16:46.837 --> 00:16:47.518
It is written.

00:16:48.177 --> 00:16:49.697
Well, God's word says this.

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.259
Back in Genesis, the world,

00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:53.940
let's go there.

00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:54.779
Let's go there.

00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:55.799
I hear you, Holy Spirit.

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:56.500
Let's go there.

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:58.160
Back in Genesis,

00:16:58.201 --> 00:17:01.381
let's look at Genesis one.

00:17:03.268 --> 00:17:05.128
It was Genesis.

00:17:05.489 --> 00:17:06.730
I think it's Genesis one, three,

00:17:06.750 --> 00:17:07.470
but let me just,

00:17:07.690 --> 00:17:09.351
let me just look at it and make

00:17:09.371 --> 00:17:09.612
sure.

00:17:10.251 --> 00:17:10.811
In the beginning,

00:17:10.832 --> 00:17:12.113
God created the heaven and the earth and

00:17:12.153 --> 00:17:14.273
the earth was actually to the earth was

00:17:14.294 --> 00:17:16.914
without form and void and darkness was

00:17:16.955 --> 00:17:18.596
upon the face of the deep and the

00:17:18.655 --> 00:17:20.857
spirit of God moved upon the face of

00:17:20.897 --> 00:17:21.597
the waters.

00:17:22.198 --> 00:17:26.560
The spirit of God moved and brought order

00:17:27.441 --> 00:17:28.741
where there was disorder and

00:17:30.836 --> 00:17:32.076
And what is disease?

00:17:32.517 --> 00:17:35.378
Disease, it is a disorder.

00:17:36.219 --> 00:17:37.920
It is not of God.

00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.182
It is not God's will that you are

00:17:40.281 --> 00:17:40.642
sick.

00:17:41.542 --> 00:17:42.643
It is not God's will.

00:17:43.683 --> 00:17:46.445
It is not God's will that you are

00:17:46.546 --> 00:17:47.926
sick.

00:17:48.586 --> 00:17:52.048
Sin may be coming out of God's will,

00:17:52.548 --> 00:17:53.670
out of his protection,

00:17:55.590 --> 00:17:58.173
participating in sinful acts,

00:18:00.037 --> 00:18:06.182
disobedient acts can open us up to demonic

00:18:06.222 --> 00:18:10.607
portals which can open us open up doors

00:18:10.647 --> 00:18:14.692
to satan coming in and having a legal

00:18:14.791 --> 00:18:20.718
right to bring about certain afflictions

00:18:22.298 --> 00:18:23.400
but when you repent

00:18:24.365 --> 00:18:26.808
When you turn away, when you say, no,

00:18:26.828 --> 00:18:27.048
no, no,

00:18:27.068 --> 00:18:28.250
I'm not going to do that anymore.

00:18:28.851 --> 00:18:29.431
I missed it.

00:18:29.490 --> 00:18:31.794
I messed up, but I repent.

00:18:32.413 --> 00:18:33.315
Jesus, forgive me.

00:18:34.388 --> 00:18:37.529
I forgive and forgive yourself knowing

00:18:37.590 --> 00:18:38.411
he's forgiven you.

00:18:38.451 --> 00:18:40.011
Because how many times in the Bible does

00:18:40.051 --> 00:18:40.832
it say forgive?

00:18:41.031 --> 00:18:42.272
Keep forgiving and forgiving and

00:18:42.313 --> 00:18:42.712
forgiving.

00:18:43.053 --> 00:18:44.233
We're under grace.

00:18:44.594 --> 00:18:45.634
We're under mercy.

00:18:45.673 --> 00:18:47.335
We're not under the condemnation of the

00:18:47.355 --> 00:18:47.734
law.

00:18:48.275 --> 00:18:49.596
But the Holy Spirit,

00:18:49.915 --> 00:18:51.277
the holy in that word,

00:18:51.576 --> 00:18:55.199
the spirit guides us to be holy.

00:18:56.078 --> 00:18:57.960
So we should be moving towards

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.741
representatives of Christ to where we are

00:19:01.801 --> 00:19:04.843
mirror images of Christ in a dark world.

00:19:05.583 --> 00:19:07.104
People shouldn't look at us and see the

00:19:07.144 --> 00:19:07.864
world in us.

00:19:08.365 --> 00:19:10.005
They should look at us and see something

00:19:10.204 --> 00:19:11.306
entirely different.

00:19:12.458 --> 00:19:15.578
And so if you resemble the world and

00:19:15.598 --> 00:19:16.538
your actions,

00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:19.559
then are you truly being led by the

00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:20.500
spirit of God?

00:19:21.340 --> 00:19:24.342
Have you been awakened to the fire,

00:19:24.382 --> 00:19:25.842
to the fire of the Holy Spirit,

00:19:25.862 --> 00:19:27.522
the power of the Holy Spirit that's within

00:19:27.563 --> 00:19:27.782
you?

00:19:28.643 --> 00:19:31.064
Or is that light dimmed because you've

00:19:31.304 --> 00:19:34.325
partnered up with sin and you're going

00:19:34.384 --> 00:19:35.924
into places that you know you shouldn't be

00:19:35.964 --> 00:19:37.986
going and that you know you're partnering

00:19:38.026 --> 00:19:39.306
up with things that you know are not

00:19:39.346 --> 00:19:39.846
of God.

00:19:40.586 --> 00:19:41.547
They are not of God.

00:19:42.135 --> 00:19:43.435
And they are of the world.

00:19:43.817 --> 00:19:44.896
And remember, we're to come.

00:19:45.277 --> 00:19:46.057
We're in the world,

00:19:46.076 --> 00:19:47.157
but not of the world.

00:19:47.178 --> 00:19:49.337
We're to come out of the world and

00:19:49.377 --> 00:19:50.519
the world's kingdom.

00:19:50.778 --> 00:19:53.319
And we are to be spirit led under

00:19:53.339 --> 00:19:56.381
the lordship of our Lord and Savior,

00:19:56.421 --> 00:19:57.480
Jesus Christ.

00:19:58.340 --> 00:19:59.801
Under our king.

00:20:00.781 --> 00:20:01.722
Under our king,

00:20:02.063 --> 00:20:03.923
recognizing God is sovereign.

00:20:05.943 --> 00:20:08.884
Abba Father is sovereign.

00:20:12.664 --> 00:20:13.905
So who are we following?

00:20:15.126 --> 00:20:17.068
What are we doing?

00:20:17.108 --> 00:20:20.892
But when we're aligned with God's will for

00:20:20.932 --> 00:20:21.551
our lives,

00:20:23.114 --> 00:20:26.155
we're spirit-led individuals with the Holy

00:20:26.195 --> 00:20:27.156
Spirit inside of us.

00:20:28.377 --> 00:20:31.621
We keep that repentant heart and we keep

00:20:31.701 --> 00:20:34.222
moving towards the mark,

00:20:34.262 --> 00:20:35.624
towards the prize,

00:20:35.903 --> 00:20:37.404
fighting the good fight of faith.

00:20:39.287 --> 00:20:40.728
Then sickness is not our portion.

00:20:42.056 --> 00:20:42.876
It's not our portion.

00:20:43.537 --> 00:20:46.779
And we can rebuke Satan.

00:20:48.862 --> 00:20:50.663
We can resist him and he'll flee.

00:20:51.884 --> 00:20:53.066
We can bind him.

00:20:53.406 --> 00:20:55.548
We can bind the spirit of infirmary.

00:20:56.288 --> 00:20:59.491
And right now I decree and declare that

00:20:59.531 --> 00:21:01.153
you have been loosed.

00:21:03.560 --> 00:21:06.541
by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:21:06.561 --> 00:21:08.382
by the Holy Spirit power,

00:21:08.622 --> 00:21:10.722
by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:21:10.782 --> 00:21:11.502
by His name,

00:21:11.522 --> 00:21:13.104
by His blood shed on Calvary,

00:21:13.423 --> 00:21:15.943
you have been loosed from a spirit of

00:21:16.003 --> 00:21:18.404
infirmary and addiction,

00:21:20.286 --> 00:21:21.645
and you've been set free.

00:21:22.546 --> 00:21:24.267
And He who the Son sets free is

00:21:24.346 --> 00:21:26.767
free indeed.

00:21:26.826 --> 00:21:28.627
We bind that spirit of torment

00:21:30.013 --> 00:21:32.095
We bind those suicidal thoughts,

00:21:32.555 --> 00:21:33.954
that spirit of depression,

00:21:34.474 --> 00:21:36.296
and we release peace and joy.

00:21:36.855 --> 00:21:37.836
That's our portion.

00:21:41.998 --> 00:21:46.138
And we speak life where there's death and

00:21:46.219 --> 00:21:51.601
light where there's been darkness.

00:21:51.681 --> 00:21:56.301
And today is your day that you step

00:21:57.422 --> 00:21:59.103
into his marvelous light.

00:22:00.522 --> 00:22:04.205
fully embracing the kingdom of God and

00:22:04.266 --> 00:22:07.448
surrendering and letting Jesus truly be

00:22:07.508 --> 00:22:08.888
Lord and Savior of your life.

00:22:12.592 --> 00:22:17.295
As you're surrendered and submitted to his

00:22:17.355 --> 00:22:19.155
will and not your own.

00:22:20.196 --> 00:22:20.836
He sees you.

00:22:20.876 --> 00:22:21.518
He loves you.

00:22:22.218 --> 00:22:23.118
He's forgiven you.

00:22:23.638 --> 00:22:26.781
Now you just need to forgive yourself and

00:22:26.882 --> 00:22:28.682
ask his Holy Spirit to help you

00:22:29.912 --> 00:22:30.432
Help you.

00:22:31.373 --> 00:22:33.534
Help you with this Christian walk.

00:22:34.874 --> 00:22:36.454
Help you every day.

00:22:37.914 --> 00:22:39.895
Get along with him every day and start

00:22:39.915 --> 00:22:42.436
your morning with Jesus and say,

00:22:42.517 --> 00:22:43.176
Holy Spirit,

00:22:43.217 --> 00:22:45.157
what's Father's will for my life today?

00:22:45.577 --> 00:22:46.118
Help me.

00:22:46.838 --> 00:22:48.240
Help me to know God's will.

00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.601
Help me to know who God wants me

00:22:50.621 --> 00:22:51.941
to speak to on my job.

00:22:52.221 --> 00:22:55.241
Or when a divine appointment comes,

00:22:55.281 --> 00:22:56.202
help me to see it.

00:22:57.202 --> 00:22:58.364
Help me to be that light in the

00:22:58.403 --> 00:22:58.963
dark world.

00:23:00.070 --> 00:23:00.852
Help me, God.

00:23:01.172 --> 00:23:02.114
Help me, God.

00:23:03.715 --> 00:23:05.538
And that's what he has for you today

00:23:06.459 --> 00:23:10.042
on this episode of the Reflective Hour

00:23:10.324 --> 00:23:11.164
podcast.

00:23:11.325 --> 00:23:13.426
And I'm Tammy Toney-Butler, your host.

00:23:14.087 --> 00:23:18.693
And remember, we already have the victory.

00:23:20.086 --> 00:23:21.846
Satan is under our feet.

00:23:22.208 --> 00:23:23.588
He has been defeated.

00:23:23.989 --> 00:23:27.330
He has no power over us as believers

00:23:27.371 --> 00:23:28.692
in the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:23:29.413 --> 00:23:33.055
But you can defeat yourself with your

00:23:33.115 --> 00:23:35.497
words and with your actions.

00:23:36.298 --> 00:23:39.160
So I'm inviting you today to step out

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:43.403
as a victorious soldier for Christ and

00:23:43.462 --> 00:23:46.023
walk fully into all he has for you

00:23:46.065 --> 00:23:46.825
this season.

00:23:47.444 --> 00:23:48.105
Empowered.

00:23:49.025 --> 00:23:51.807
and emboldened with the truth.

00:23:51.826 --> 00:23:52.508
God bless you.

00:23:52.548 --> 00:23:53.347
God keep you.

00:23:53.669 --> 00:23:56.871
May his light shine upon you this season.

00:23:57.971 --> 00:24:00.374
As you go, sin no more.

00:24:01.493 --> 00:24:06.317
Forgive others as Christ forgave you and

00:24:06.397 --> 00:24:07.679
walk in freedom.

00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:09.800
Glory be to Jesus.

00:24:10.260 --> 00:24:11.682
Glory be to Jesus.

00:24:12.061 --> 00:24:13.943
Glory be to Jesus.
