? (Theme Song) ?
? Jesus is worthy ?
00:00:01.10\00:00:10.20
? oh yes, he's worthy
? ? worthy of all... ?
00:00:10.20\00:00:18.80
? all the praise. ? See
the devil for who he is.
00:00:18.80\00:00:23.06
The devil is a liar.
00:00:23.06\00:00:24.16
Seeing is resisting.
00:00:24.16\00:00:25.80
Resist the devil, and
he will flee from you.
00:00:25.80\00:00:29.46
All Satan wants to do
is steal, kill and destroy.
00:00:29.46\00:00:34.16
All Satan wants to do
is divide and conquer.
00:00:34.16\00:00:37.90
It's no mistake that Peter
said, be sober, be vigilant,
00:00:37.90\00:00:42.13
because your adversary the
devil is as a roaring lion,
00:00:42.13\00:00:45.36
seeking whom he may devour.
00:00:45.36\00:00:47.16
Do you know what devour means?
00:00:47.16\00:00:49.26
Devour means it's not
just there to bite you.
00:00:49.26\00:00:52.73
Devour doesn't mean
just to scratch you.
00:00:52.73\00:00:55.00
Devour is to destroy you.
00:00:55.00\00:00:57.33
Understand, friends of mine,
the devil is not your friend.
00:00:57.33\00:01:01.20
If you look into the
mirror and you put in your mind,
00:01:01.20\00:01:04.53
I'd better stop
fooling around, I'd better stop
00:01:04.53\00:01:07.43
playing around, I'd
better stop, because the devil's
00:01:07.43\00:01:10.43
not trying to scratch
me, the devil's not trying
00:01:10.43\00:01:12.86
to bite me, the
devil's not trying to scare me,
00:01:12.86\00:01:15.46
the devil is
trying to destroy me.
00:01:15.46\00:01:17.86
The devil comes with poison.
00:01:17.86\00:01:21.36
To poison your mind with lies.
00:01:21.36\00:01:23.36
And the devil just
doesn't seek to deceive outside
00:01:23.36\00:01:26.26
of the church universal.
00:01:26.26\00:01:29.16
But the devil
tries to deceive inside
00:01:29.16\00:01:32.13
the church universal.
00:01:32.13\00:01:33.80
You see, friends of
mine, in the church universal,
00:01:33.80\00:01:36.06
which means that's
beyond just Oakwood.
00:01:36.06\00:01:38.30
In the church universal,
that means it's beyond
00:01:38.30\00:01:40.93
Seventh-day Adventists.
00:01:40.93\00:01:41.93
But in the church universal,
there are too many folk who
00:01:41.93\00:01:45.93
don't know the truth.
00:01:45.93\00:01:47.00
We come to
church, but we don't know
00:01:47.00\00:01:51.76
what the Bible says.
00:01:51.76\00:01:54.16
We're biblically illiterate.
00:01:54.16\00:01:57.36
We come to church, even
in here, even those of us
00:01:57.36\00:02:00.73
raised up in the church, we
come to church out of habit,
00:02:00.73\00:02:03.66
we don't know a thing
about what the Word of God says.
00:02:03.66\00:02:07.33
We shout and we don't
know what we're shouting about.
00:02:07.33\00:02:10.03
We clap, and we don't
know what we're clapping about.
00:02:10.03\00:02:14.33
Here we go, I listen to
folk all the time, it just blows
00:02:14.33\00:02:16.50
my mind.
00:02:16.50\00:02:17.50
Ooh, that was deep.
00:02:17.50\00:02:21.36
[Laughter] And the person,
excuse the double negative,
00:02:21.36\00:02:23.36
the person ain't said nothing.
00:02:23.36\00:02:26.43
It's my baptized brain
that makes me want to shout.
00:02:26.43\00:02:30.46
It's my sanctified psyche
that makes me lift my hands
00:02:30.46\00:02:35.16
in worship.
00:02:35.16\00:02:36.20
God says they that worship
me must worship me in spirit
00:02:36.20\00:02:40.20
and in truth.
00:02:40.20\00:02:41.20
Read the Bible; a chapter
a day keeps the devil away.
00:02:41.20\00:02:44.23
[Aud response] Know the Word.
00:02:44.23\00:02:47.96
Know the Word.
00:02:47.96\00:02:49.50
Satan is not afraid of
a Bible with dust on it.
00:02:49.50\00:02:53.40
There are so many
people whose minds are poisoned
00:02:53.40\00:02:55.43
to the truth, they want to
hold onto their own thoughts
00:02:55.43\00:02:58.06
and ideas as to how
God ought to operate.
00:02:58.06\00:03:01.90
They feel like because
they've lived their life
00:03:01.90\00:03:03.90
a certain way for so long
that they forgot to show them
00:03:03.90\00:03:07.23
in the Word that their
lifestyle is wrong, or the way
00:03:07.23\00:03:09.93
they live is wrong, or
their thinking is wrong,
00:03:09.93\00:03:12.63
that they now
want to combat God.
00:03:12.63\00:03:16.50
But let me tell
it like it is today.
00:03:16.50\00:03:19.43
Stealing is wrong.
00:03:19.43\00:03:22.40
Thievery is wrong.
00:03:22.40\00:03:27.76
Robbing from God is wrong.
00:03:27.76\00:03:32.03
Smoking is wrong.
00:03:32.03\00:03:35.60
Drinking is wrong.
00:03:35.60\00:03:39.10
Drug abuse is wrong.
00:03:39.10\00:03:42.73
Desecrating
God's Sabbath is wrong.
00:03:42.73\00:03:47.20
Gossip is wrong.
00:03:47.20\00:03:49.63
Having a bad attitude is wrong.
00:03:49.63\00:03:53.83
Talking about people is wrong.
00:03:53.83\00:03:57.53
Adultery is wrong.
00:03:57.53\00:04:00.50
Fornication is wrong.
00:04:00.50\00:04:03.80
Homosexuality is wrong.
00:04:03.80\00:04:07.70
Being barely
dressed in church is wrong.
00:04:07.70\00:04:12.40
[Aud response] We've
got to take off all these
00:04:12.40\00:04:15.63
on-sale and for-sale
signs in God's house.
00:04:15.63\00:04:19.03
It's wrong.
00:04:19.03\00:04:20.13
But people don't like
to talk about what's wrong
00:04:20.13\00:04:23.36
anymore But wrong is wrong.
00:04:23.36\00:04:27.16
Even in the church, don't
let the devil deceive you.
00:04:27.16\00:04:31.36
The Word of God has not changed.
00:04:31.36\00:04:33.73
Our methods may have changed,
but the message is still
00:04:33.73\00:04:37.53
the same.
00:04:37.53\00:04:38.53
Jesus loves you.
00:04:38.53\00:04:39.60
Jesus died to save you.
00:04:39.60\00:04:41.96
Jesus is coming back to get you,
but wrong is wrong, and he's
00:04:41.96\00:04:46.53
not coming back to get wrong,
he's coming back to get right.
00:04:46.53\00:04:50.63
Because ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood,
00:04:50.63\00:04:54.96
a holy nation,
a peculiar people.
00:04:54.96\00:04:57.83
He's called you
out of darkness into
00:04:57.83\00:04:59.83
his marvelous light.
00:04:59.83\00:05:01.16
[Aud response] But
people don't want to accept
00:05:01.16\00:05:04.30
the Word of God anymore.
00:05:04.30\00:05:05.76
They don't want to accept it.
00:05:05.76\00:05:10.03
Post-modernism.
00:05:10.03\00:05:11.90
You believe what you want
to believe, and I'll believe
00:05:11.90\00:05:15.00
what I want to believe.
00:05:15.00\00:05:16.40
Your truth is your
truth, and my truth is my truth,
00:05:16.40\00:05:18.80
and leave me alone.
00:05:18.80\00:05:20.43
Some Christians want
to claim the Old Testament
00:05:20.43\00:05:22.43
is no longer binding.
00:05:22.43\00:05:23.43
And all we gotta do is
follow the New Testament,
00:05:23.43\00:05:25.43
so we don't have to
observe the Sabbath.
00:05:25.43\00:05:27.43
But what they don't
understand is that the Sabbath
00:05:27.43\00:05:29.43
is commanded in the
Old as well as the New,
00:05:29.43\00:05:31.43
and it's still binding.
00:05:31.43\00:05:32.43
We see different movements
in theology today where people
00:05:32.43\00:05:35.70
want to say we're not sinners.
00:05:35.70\00:05:37.93
We're not born in sin,
we're not shaped in iniquity.
00:05:37.93\00:05:41.43
In fact, we were born
good, but we were corrupted
00:05:41.43\00:05:44.23
by our environment.
00:05:44.23\00:05:46.23
Then there are others who
say that all men are good,
00:05:47.76\00:05:52.03
they just have
seizures of immorality.
00:05:52.03\00:05:55.16
But the bottom
line is that it's a lie.
00:05:55.16\00:06:00.13
The devil would want you
to believe about yourself
00:06:00.13\00:06:02.63
that you are spiritually
good, but the Word says
00:06:02.63\00:06:05.00
there are none good.
00:06:05.00\00:06:06.10
No, not one.
00:06:06.10\00:06:08.20
So regardless of who you
are, regardless of where you are
00:06:08.20\00:06:11.60
in life, the truth is,
all of us are sinners saved
00:06:11.60\00:06:14.56
by grace.
00:06:14.56\00:06:15.56
That's the only way
we're going to get to heaven.
00:06:15.56\00:06:18.03
That's the only way
we're going to be saved.
00:06:18.03\00:06:20.36
I would like to
believe that Carlton Byrd
00:06:20.36\00:06:22.90
is a good person.
00:06:22.90\00:06:24.00
I would like to believe that
I was born good and I'm a nice
00:06:24.00\00:06:27.00
person, but that's not
what God has called for.
00:06:27.00\00:06:30.36
There are a whole
lot of folk, church folk,
00:06:30.36\00:06:33.73
that are nice, that
are good, that are peaceful
00:06:33.73\00:06:38.83
But God says when of that
is through, according to my
00:06:38.83\00:06:43.03
Word, you're still a sinner.
00:06:43.03\00:06:45.00
Because if you're
good and nice and pleasing
00:06:45.00\00:06:47.00
and pleasant and all that stuff,
if you're all of that and can
00:06:47.00\00:06:50.00
get to the Father, then you
don't need my Son, Jesus Christ.
00:06:50.00\00:06:53.00
That he died in vain.
00:06:53.00\00:06:54.16
But I've got a witness in
this place that Jesus said,
00:06:54.16\00:06:56.96
I am the Way, the
Truth, and the Life.
00:06:56.96\00:07:00.73
No man comes to
the Father but by me.
00:07:00.73\00:07:04.03
Don't be deceived and think
that you can just be a good
00:07:04.03\00:07:07.26
person.
00:07:07.26\00:07:08.56
Well, I'm nice.
00:07:08.56\00:07:10.06
I read the Bible.
00:07:10.06\00:07:11.56
I study my
Sabbath School lesson.
00:07:11.56\00:07:13.60
I go to church every week.
00:07:13.60\00:07:15.46
I was born in the church.
00:07:15.46\00:07:17.06
I go to prayer
meeting, I go to dorm worship.
00:07:17.06\00:07:19.46
But I know what I'm talking
about, because that's how
00:07:19.46\00:07:21.46
I used to be.
00:07:21.46\00:07:22.46
I eat a clean, healthy diet.
00:07:22.46\00:07:24.10
In fact, I'm a vegetarian.
00:07:24.10\00:07:25.83
Did you know Hitler
was a vegetarian too?
00:07:25.83\00:07:28.23
[Aud response] And I
learned, God had to knock
00:07:28.23\00:07:32.46
me down to my knees
with a spiritual arrogance.
00:07:32.46\00:07:36.66
You can still bust hell
wide open with a healthy diet,
00:07:36.66\00:07:40.90
clean speech, clean
morals, no drinking, no smoking,
00:07:40.90\00:07:44.36
right into hell.
00:07:44.36\00:07:45.36
Don't be consumed by the devil.
00:07:45.36\00:07:48.36
Don't lighten up on God's truth,
don't compromise God's word.
00:07:48.36\00:07:53.00
No man can get to the
Father but by me, he says.
00:07:53.00\00:07:56.80
There is no other way.
00:07:56.80\00:07:58.76
Buddha can't do it,
Confucius can't do it,
00:07:58.76\00:08:02.03
Mohammed can't do it.
00:08:02.03\00:08:03.70
Only Jesus can do it.
00:08:03.70\00:08:05.73
There is no other name under
heaven whereby we can be saved
00:08:05.73\00:08:09.66
but the name of Jesus.
00:08:09.66\00:08:11.50
Resist the devil, and
he will flee from you.
00:08:11.50\00:08:16.33
[Aud response]
Number three. Number three,
00:08:16.33\00:08:21.83
the devil wants your mind.
00:08:21.83\00:08:24.33
You gotta know the truth.
00:08:24.33\00:08:26.46
But number three, fear not.
00:08:26.46\00:08:31.50
How do I keep the devil off me?
00:08:31.50\00:08:33.53
Fear not.
00:08:33.53\00:08:37.60
Satan wants to plant fear in us.
00:08:37.60\00:08:40.96
Fear is Satan's calling card.
00:08:40.96\00:08:45.26
Fear him and he comes.
00:08:45.26\00:08:47.86
Fear not and he's kept away.
00:08:47.86\00:08:50.73
2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For my
God hath not given us a spirit
00:08:50.73\00:08:56.43
of fear, but a spirit
of love, a spirit of power,
00:08:56.43\00:09:01.53
a spirit of sound mind."
00:09:01.53\00:09:03.03
Let me tell you
something before I take my seat.
00:09:03.03\00:09:06.23
Satan has to obtain one's
consent before he can operate.
00:09:06.23\00:09:13.33
If this consent is
withheld, Satan cannot work.
00:09:13.33\00:09:17.80
We were created
with a free will.
00:09:17.80\00:09:20.56
Without man's consent, Satan
can neither tempt him to sin
00:09:20.56\00:09:24.70
nor attack him at will.
00:09:24.70\00:09:26.40
Resist the devil, and
he will flee from you.
00:09:26.40\00:09:30.13
To resist means to say,
thank you, but I don't want it.
00:09:30.13\00:09:38.23
To resist means to say,
thank you, but I don't want it.
00:09:38.23\00:09:45.06
When gossip comes at you,
thank you, but I don't want it.
00:09:45.06\00:09:51.53
When negativity comes at you,
thank you, but I don't want it.
00:09:51.53\00:09:57.66
When alcohol comes at you,
thank you, but I don't want it.
00:09:57.66\00:10:03.06
Ladies, when that
proposition comes at you,
00:10:03.06\00:10:06.50
thank you, but I don't want it.
00:10:06.50\00:10:09.33
Brothers, when she comes
at you, voluptuous, seductive
00:10:09.33\00:10:15.00
and tempting, how
you doing, Pastor Byrd?
00:10:15.00\00:10:20.10
Thank you, but I don't want it!
00:10:20.10\00:10:22.53
[Applause/Laughter] Whatever
is offered to you by Satan,
00:10:22.53\00:10:25.83
you must always
answer, no thanks.
00:10:25.83\00:10:29.03
Fear not, for fear will
bring you to the very thing
00:10:29.03\00:10:33.26
you're afraid of.
00:10:33.26\00:10:34.73
You don't need to fear Satan.
00:10:34.73\00:10:36.86
Let me tell you,
Satan cannot overcome us.
00:10:36.86\00:10:40.40
I said, Satan
cannot overcome us.
00:10:40.40\00:10:43.60
Satan cannot overpower us.
00:10:43.60\00:10:46.66
Greater is he that is in
us than he that is in the
00:10:46.66\00:10:50.90
world.
00:10:50.90\00:10:51.90
Never accept fear.
00:10:51.90\00:10:54.53
Resist the devil and
he will flee from you.
00:10:54.53\00:10:58.73
Let me tell you
something as I get to my seat.
00:10:58.73\00:11:01.80
The warfare between
Satan and us lies not in the
00:11:01.80\00:11:04.33
struggle to win, but rather
in stride to avoid defeat.
00:11:04.33\00:11:09.56
You see, many of us have
mistaken the concept of war
00:11:09.56\00:11:11.70
with Satan.
00:11:11.70\00:11:12.70
What do you mean, Pastor?
00:11:12.70\00:11:13.73
We think that we must
fight in order to win.
00:11:13.73\00:11:18.03
No Christian, however,
is able to fight and win.
00:11:18.03\00:11:20.43
We fight because
we've already won.
00:11:20.43\00:11:24.76
You see, Jesus has
already defeated Satan.
00:11:24.76\00:11:30.16
Satan has
already lost his ground.
00:11:30.16\00:11:34.46
Satan's battle today,
friends, is to recover.
00:11:34.46\00:11:39.00
Our battle is to retain.
00:11:39.00\00:11:40.96
We don't fight
in order to occupy.
00:11:40.96\00:11:45.03
We fight to protect what
we have already occupied.
00:11:45.03\00:11:49.46
Satan is already defeated.
00:11:49.46\00:11:52.20
The Lord has overcome.
00:11:52.20\00:11:54.60
The church has overcome.
00:11:54.60\00:11:57.00
The conflict
between the church and Satan
00:11:57.00\00:12:00.50
is to protect the
Lord's victory, not to win it.
00:12:00.50\00:12:04.90
Our goal is not to
wrestle victory from Satan, but
00:12:04.90\00:12:07.16
rather to keep
victory from being robbed.
00:12:07.16\00:12:10.26
Satan is a defeated foe.
00:12:10.26\00:12:13.46
Satan is a fugitive.
00:12:13.46\00:12:16.20
Satan is a prisoner.
00:12:16.20\00:12:18.93
You need not be afraid of Satan.
00:12:18.93\00:12:23.46
Satan was done at the cross.
00:12:23.46\00:12:26.63
Satan, think about it,
did all he could at the cross.
00:12:26.63\00:12:30.06
But he was defeated
and put to shame by Jesus.
00:12:30.06\00:12:34.43
Satan's attack on us can
never be greater than his
00:12:34.43\00:12:38.46
attack on Jesus at the cross.
00:12:38.46\00:12:40.90
The same power which
raised Jesus from the dead,
00:12:40.90\00:12:45.00
the same power that Jesus
had after he was crucified,
00:12:45.00\00:12:50.26
is the same power that
defeated Satan at the cross,
00:12:50.26\00:12:54.03
and it's the same power
available for us to defeat
00:12:54.03\00:12:57.63
the works of Satan
in our daily lives.
00:12:57.63\00:13:00.23
Let me remind you, the
devil is not afraid of you.
00:13:00.23\00:13:04.60
I said the devil
is not afraid of you.
00:13:04.60\00:13:06.60
The devil is afraid of
the Holy Ghost that's in you.
00:13:06.60\00:13:11.06
No demon, no Christian
has ever been demon possessed.
00:13:11.06\00:13:18.16
Because if the Holy Ghost
is living in you, the devil
00:13:18.16\00:13:20.86
and the Holy Ghost can't
live in you at the same time.
00:13:20.86\00:13:23.66
The moment you
receive Christ, the moment you
00:13:23.66\00:13:27.53
accept Christ as your
personal Savior, you take
00:13:27.53\00:13:30.73
position of what Jesus
already did 2,000 years ago.
00:13:30.73\00:13:34.83
Your identity as a child
of God, your authority over
00:13:34.83\00:13:38.96
spiritual powers are not
things you are receiving,
00:13:38.96\00:13:43.96
or will receive.
00:13:43.96\00:13:46.66
But you have them right now.
00:13:46.66\00:13:49.36
So don't want
until the battle is over.
00:13:49.36\00:13:56.16
Shout now.
00:13:56.16\00:13:57.86
You're already
spiritually alive.
00:13:57.86\00:14:01.50
You're already a
child of God right now.
00:14:01.50\00:14:08.16
You possess all the authority,
all the power over the kingdom
00:14:08.16\00:14:13.53
of darkness right now.
00:14:13.53\00:14:16.66
Not only were you made
alive in Christ 2,000 years ago,
00:14:16.66\00:14:21.93
but Satan was also disarmed
and defeated 2,000 years ago.
00:14:21.93\00:14:28.83
Satan's defeat is not pending.
00:14:28.83\00:14:32.90
His defeat is not future.
00:14:32.90\00:14:35.83
His defeat has already happened.
00:14:35.83\00:14:38.66
You don't fight for
Calvary, you fight from Calvary.
00:14:38.66\00:14:44.63
If Satan is already disarmed,
why don't we experience
00:14:44.63\00:14:49.63
more victory in our lives.
00:14:49.63\00:14:52.40
I don't understand
children of the most High
00:14:52.40\00:14:54.43
God, walking around
with their lips poked out,
00:14:54.43\00:14:57.43
walking around with
rocks in their jaws.
00:14:57.43\00:14:59.56
I don't understand
children of the most High
00:14:59.56\00:15:01.63
God who sit there like
God hasn't done something for
00:15:01.63\00:15:04.60
you, like God
hasn't raised you, like God
00:15:04.60\00:15:07.60
hasn't kept you, like God hasn't
picked you up and turned you
00:15:07.60\00:15:10.86
around, placed your
feet on solid ground.
00:15:10.86\00:15:14.10
Satan roams around
like a hungry lion, looking
00:15:14.10\00:15:17.50
and sounding ferocious,
but I don't have to fear.
00:15:17.50\00:15:21.06
His fangs have been
removed, and his claws have been
00:15:21.06\00:15:25.83
declawed.
00:15:25.83\00:15:26.83
But if he can deceive you
into believing that he can
00:15:26.83\00:15:29.33
chew you up and spit
you out, that he can control
00:15:29.33\00:15:32.76
your behavior, and
that's just what he wants to do,
00:15:32.76\00:15:35.20
don't let Satan
fake you into defeat.
00:15:35.20\00:15:39.00
Fear not.
00:15:39.00\00:15:40.00
I was reading Ellen
White, she says in "Christ's
00:15:40.00\00:15:42.46
Object Lessons" that
every manifestation of God's
00:15:42.46\00:15:45.46
power for his people
arouses enmity in Satan.
00:15:45.46\00:15:49.36
She says every time
God works a miracle on our
00:15:49.36\00:15:51.43
behalf, Satan with his
angels works with renewed
00:15:51.43\00:15:53.93
vigor to orchestrate our ruin.
00:15:53.93\00:15:57.20
That he is jealous of
all who make Christ their
00:15:57.20\00:16:02.16
strength.
00:16:02.16\00:16:03.46
But she says the good news
is that the joy of the Lord
00:16:03.46\00:16:07.83
is my strength, which
means victory is mine.
00:16:07.83\00:16:17.00
Victory today is mine.
00:16:17.00\00:16:20.20
I told Satan, get thee
behind, victory today is mine.
00:16:20.20\00:16:25.70
Let me close this way.
00:16:25.70\00:16:26.70
Has anybody ever
seen a snake die?
00:16:26.70\00:16:29.70
No, 'cause I run from a
snake when I see it, eh?
00:16:31.53\00:16:36.66
If you've seen a snake
die, you go out and somebody
00:16:36.66\00:16:41.66
chops up that snake,
or shoots that snake.
00:16:41.66\00:16:47.30
Snake as dead as it wants to be.
00:16:47.30\00:16:51.70
That old tail just moving.
00:16:51.70\00:16:57.60
Giving the image
that it's still alive.
00:16:57.60\00:17:02.73
But it's as dead as it can be.
00:17:02.73\00:17:06.63
And so the Lord says,
Devil, on Calvary you may have
00:17:06.63\00:17:09.90
bruised my head, but one day
I'm going to crush your head.
00:17:09.90\00:17:20.40
And all you've got right now,
brother devil, is the wiggling.
00:17:20.40\00:17:24.66
That's all that's left there.
00:17:24.66\00:17:27.06
You can't bite me,
you can't strike me,
00:17:27.06\00:17:30.56
you can't kill
unless they let you do it.
00:17:30.56\00:17:35.46
σσ somebody today, you
need to just take your foot,
00:17:35.46\00:17:38.73
just like this.
00:17:38.73\00:17:39.73
That's why I stomp
my foot when I preach.
00:17:39.73\00:17:41.73
And I know the devil
isn't physically here, but there
00:17:41.73\00:17:44.66
is a metaphorical
expression right here.
00:17:44.66\00:17:47.60
You just oughta say to the
devil, I believe I just need
00:17:47.60\00:17:50.93
to step on you right now.
00:17:50.93\00:17:53.46
You stepped on me long enough.
00:17:53.46\00:17:56.16
You trampled on me long enough.
00:17:56.16\00:17:58.70
You walked on me long enough.
00:17:58.70\00:18:01.06
But now I'm
going to walk on you.
00:18:01.06\00:18:03.06
Now I'm going to step on you.
00:18:03.06\00:18:05.10
Now I'm going to trample on you.
00:18:05.10\00:18:07.10
The difference is, you
can step on me and hurt me,
00:18:07.10\00:18:10.13
but I have the power to
step on you and crush you.
00:18:10.13\00:18:14.03
Get the devil off you.
00:18:14.03\00:18:16.10
Devil, get off me.
00:18:16.10\00:18:17.10
Get off me.
00:18:17.10\00:18:19.23
Don't let the
devil have your mind.
00:18:19.23\00:18:21.23
Know the truth, and the
truth shall set you free.
00:18:21.23\00:18:26.53
Fear not.
00:18:26.53\00:18:28.13
And so it was,
imagine, a rooky police officer.
00:18:28.13\00:18:35.16
A rooky traffic cop.
00:18:35.16\00:18:39.63
He approaches a busy
intersection, maybe Jordan
00:18:39.63\00:18:44.76
Lane and University Drive.
00:18:44.76\00:18:47.26
He approaches a busy
intersection to direct
00:18:47.26\00:18:50.06
traffic for the first time.
00:18:50.06\00:18:53.33
They told this rooky cop
at the police academy that all
00:18:53.33\00:18:58.26
he had to do was step
in the street, hold up his
00:18:58.26\00:19:04.63
hands, and the cars would stop.
00:19:04.63\00:19:08.10
[piano] And so there he is.
00:19:08.10\00:19:11.10
He stands on the curb,
he blows his whistle softly
00:19:11.10\00:19:15.70
[whistles], blows it
kind of weak, waves it at
00:19:18.63\00:19:22.86
an oncoming car.
00:19:22.86\00:19:23.86
The car roars over him.
00:19:23.86\00:19:30.50
His authority is diminished
by his lack of confidence.
00:19:30.50\00:19:37.30
Now imagine a seasoned
officer coming on the scene.
00:19:37.30\00:19:44.53
The seasoned officer
sizes up the situation.
00:19:44.53\00:19:49.43
The seasoned officer steps
into the street confidently.
00:19:49.43\00:19:54.16
The seasoned officer
gives a blast on his whistle.
00:19:54.16\00:19:58.90
He stretches forth his
hand with authority, and he says
00:19:58.90\00:20:03.20
to the oncoming cars,
"Stop!" There's no doubt
00:20:03.20\00:20:06.90
in his mind that he's in control
in that intersection because he
00:20:06.90\00:20:09.90
has a subtle
belief in his authority.
00:20:09.90\00:20:14.70
[piano continues] And
when you deal with the devil,
00:20:14.70\00:20:19.50
if you don't believe you
have authority, you're not going
00:20:19.50\00:20:22.30
to exercise it.
00:20:22.30\00:20:24.96
God doesn't need
any cowardly soldiers.
00:20:24.96\00:20:28.80
God doesn't need
any wimps in his army.
00:20:28.80\00:20:32.33
If your belief is
weak, your expression of it
00:20:32.33\00:20:38.23
will be weak too.
00:20:38.23\00:20:39.23
But if you have confidence
in the authority that Jesus
00:20:39.23\00:20:42.43
has given you, if you
have confidence in the power
00:20:42.43\00:20:45.50
of the Holy Ghost that
is working in you, if you
00:20:45.50\00:20:48.50
have confidence that God has
given you the ability to cast
00:20:48.50\00:20:51.60
out demons, to tread
upon serpents, if God has
00:20:51.60\00:20:56.70
given you the authority to
walk on the devil, then you
00:20:56.70\00:20:59.43
will exercise it with authority.
00:20:59.43\00:21:01.70
Quit getting mad
because the pastor or the elders
00:21:01.70\00:21:04.20
didn't come pray on your house.
00:21:04.20\00:21:06.20
Pray on your own house.
00:21:06.20\00:21:07.20
Quit getting mad because
the pastor didn't come lay
00:21:07.20\00:21:09.96
his hands on your doorpost.
00:21:09.96\00:21:11.36
Lay your hands on
your own doorpost.
00:21:11.36\00:21:14.03
Get some oil and put
it up there yourself.
00:21:14.03\00:21:17.76
This is the confidence
we have in approaching God,
00:21:17.76\00:21:20.30
that whatever we ask, we
know we have asked and it
00:21:20.30\00:21:25.23
shall be given.
00:21:25.23\00:21:28.90
Seek, and ye shall find.
00:21:28.90\00:21:31.53
Knock, and the door
shall be opened up to you.
00:21:31.53\00:21:34.50
And you may consider
yourself just a rookie
00:21:34.50\00:21:38.43
at the devil's
traffic stop in your life.
00:21:38.43\00:21:41.63
But Jesus is a seasoned veteran.
00:21:41.63\00:21:47.43
Jesus is a seasoned veteran.
00:21:47.43\00:21:52.60
And I'm so glad
today that I'm in my Jesus.
00:21:52.60\00:21:57.96
I'm so glad that Jesus
loves me, and I love me
00:21:57.96\00:22:03.03
some Jesus.
00:22:03.03\00:22:04.03
I'm so glad that
Jesus protects me.
00:22:04.03\00:22:07.00
He says, fear thou
not, for I am with thee.
00:22:07.00\00:22:10.26
Be not dismayed,
for I am thy God.
00:22:10.26\00:22:12.73
I will strengthen
thee, yeah, I will help ye,
00:22:12.73\00:22:14.73
I will uphold thee with the
right hand of my righteousness.
00:22:14.73\00:22:16.80
If God be for us,
who can be against us?
00:22:16.80\00:22:22.03
Because no
weapon born against you
00:22:22.03\00:22:24.56
is going to prosper.
00:22:24.56\00:22:25.56
It just won't work.
00:22:25.56\00:22:27.40
Fret not thyself because
of evil-doers, neither be thy
00:22:27.40\00:22:30.73
envious of the
workers of iniquity.
00:22:30.73\00:22:33.43
Understand, my friends,
that I can do all things through
00:22:33.43\00:22:35.43
Christ which strengthens me.
00:22:35.43\00:22:37.53
Trust in the Lord
with all thine heart.
00:22:37.53\00:22:41.73
Lean not into
thine own understanding.
00:22:41.73\00:22:43.76
In all thy ways acknowledge
him and he shall direct thy
00:22:43.76\00:22:49.50
paths.
00:22:49.50\00:22:50.50
I once was
young, but now I'm old.
00:22:50.50\00:22:53.63
But I've never seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his
00:22:53.63\00:22:56.70
seed begging bread.
00:22:56.70\00:23:02.86
Devil, get off me.
00:23:02.86\00:23:06.30
Devil, get off me.
00:23:06.30\00:23:08.70
Devil, get off my family.
00:23:08.70\00:23:12.06
Devil, get off my friends.

00:23:14.40\00:23:16.50

00:23:16.50\00:23:18.53

00:23:18.53\00:23:21.00

00:23:21.00\00:23:24.06
Devil, get out of our bodies.
00:23:24.06\00:23:27.63
Devil, get off us
in the name of Jesus.
00:23:27.63\00:23:31.73
Lord, you are the
source of my strength.
00:23:31.73\00:23:35.83
You're the strength of my life.
00:23:35.83\00:23:38.16
I lift my hands in
total praise to you.
00:23:38.16\00:23:40.16
How do I keep the devil off me?
00:23:40.16\00:23:42.16
How do you keep
the devil off you?
00:23:42.16\00:23:44.16
You can't let the
devil get in your mind.
00:23:44.16\00:23:47.50
Quit letting
things come in your mind.
00:23:47.50\00:23:49.50
Everybody is not
talking about you.
00:23:49.50\00:23:51.50
Everybody is not against you.
00:23:51.50\00:23:53.50
Quit letting the
devil get in your mind.
00:23:53.50\00:23:55.50
Don't let the devil
get in your thoughts.
00:23:55.50\00:23:58.10
Start singing a
song about something.
00:23:58.10\00:24:00.80
Start singing a
song about Jesus.
00:24:00.80\00:24:03.36
When the devil comes to
attack your mind, call the
00:24:03.36\00:24:05.86
name of Jesus.
00:24:05.86\00:24:07.20
When you call the name
of Jesus, demons will flee.
00:24:07.20\00:24:10.86
Get the devil out of your mind.
00:24:10.86\00:24:15.13
Number two, the devil is a liar.
00:24:15.13\00:24:18.96
He's a liar, and
he's the father of lies.
00:24:18.96\00:24:23.40
You've got to know the truth.
00:24:23.40\00:24:27.13
The truth will set you free.
00:24:27.13\00:24:29.50
And number three, after
you don't let the devil in
00:24:29.50\00:24:32.96
your mind, after you
know the truth, quit walking
00:24:32.96\00:24:37.00
around here scared of the devil.
00:24:37.00\00:24:39.00
I'm going to lock
myself in the house because I'm
00:24:39.00\00:24:41.13
scared of the devil.
00:24:41.13\00:24:42.13
No, no, devil,
you better get back.
00:24:42.13\00:24:44.13
You better get back.
00:24:44.13\00:24:46.33
I'm a child of
the most High God.
00:24:46.33\00:24:49.50
I'm a soldier in
the army of the Lord.
00:24:49.50\00:24:52.93
If I die, let me die
in the army of the Lord.
00:24:52.93\00:24:58.10
I've got my war clothes on.
00:24:58.10\00:25:00.33
In the army of the Lord.
00:25:00.33\00:25:02.76
I don't have to
get back for anybody.
00:25:02.76\00:25:04.93
Devil, you get back.
00:25:04.93\00:25:06.30
Fear not.
00:25:06.30\00:25:07.50
[piano] Say, I
don't know who you are.
00:25:07.50\00:25:10.26
I don't know what the
devil is doing to you for
00:25:10.26\00:25:14.60
giving him all that credit.
00:25:14.60\00:25:16.56
In the name of
Jesus, don't let him in your
00:25:16.56\00:25:20.53
mind.
00:25:20.53\00:25:21.53
In the name of Jesus, know
the Word and know the truth,
00:25:21.53\00:25:25.66
and in the name of
Jesus, don't be scared.
00:25:25.66\00:25:29.20
Don't be fearful.
00:25:29.20\00:25:30.40
You're now the people
of God, and it doth not yet
00:25:30.40\00:25:34.10
appear what we shall
be, but when he doth appear,
00:25:34.10\00:25:39.23
in a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, we shall see him,
00:25:39.23\00:25:47.76
we shall be like him.
00:25:47.76\00:25:51.76
Hallelujah.
00:25:51.76\00:25:53.33
Christ's return.
00:25:53.33\00:25:54.33
Hallelujah, amen,
hallelujah, Christ's
00:25:54.33\00:25:58.83
return.
00:25:58.83\00:25:59.83
Revive us, oh God.
00:25:59.83\00:26:03.66
Again, get the devil off me.
00:26:03.66\00:26:08.56
