  • >> jesus said you'll know the truth
  • 00:00:07.230 --> 00:00:09.232
  • And the truth will make you free.
  • 00:00:09.232 --> 00:00:11.234
  • So if the truth sets you free,
  • 00:00:11.234 --> 00:00:13.236
  • Then lies and deceptions keep you in bondage.
  • 00:00:13.236 --> 00:00:15.238
  • Many times, what i've seen
  • 00:00:15.238 --> 00:00:17.240
  • Is that once a believer experiences deliverance,
  • 00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:19.242
  • Just like your own story,
  • 00:00:19.242 --> 00:00:21.244
  • Then you begin to lead other people into deliverance.
  • 00:00:21.244 --> 00:00:24.147
  • Once you get set free, you want to lead other people into that
  • 00:00:24.147 --> 00:00:26.249
  • So it is like a chain reaction.
  • 00:00:26.249 --> 00:00:28.251
  • Jake kail bequests everyday christians
  • 00:00:28.251 --> 00:00:30.253
  • To start casting out demons
  • 00:00:30.253 --> 00:00:32.255
  • And setting captives free.
  • 00:00:32.255 --> 00:00:34.257

  • James: it is an understatement
  • 00:00:54.043 --> 00:00:55.211
  • James: it is an understatement to say these are
  • 00:00:55.278 --> 00:00:56.546
  • James: it is an understatement to say these are very important times.
  • 00:00:56.613 --> 00:00:57.814
  • To say these are very important times. betty, we are living
  • 00:00:57.881 --> 00:00:59.115
  • Very important times. betty, we are living in an age of deception.

  • In an age of deception. betty: yes. james: and the father of lies
  • 00:01:01.751 --> 00:01:02.986
  • Is satan.
  • 00:01:03.086 --> 00:01:04.287
  • Is satan. but one of the things
  • 00:01:04.354 --> 00:01:05.688
  • Is satan. but one of the things people don't realize
  • 00:01:05.755 --> 00:01:07.023
  • But one of the things people don't realize is that the liar
  • 00:01:07.090 --> 00:01:08.424
  • People don't realize is that the liar has millions
  • 00:01:08.491 --> 00:01:09.759
  • Is that the liar has millions of angelic servants,
  • 00:01:09.826 --> 00:01:11.728
  • Has millions of angelic servants, demonic angels,
  • 00:01:11.794 --> 00:01:15.098
  • Of angelic servants, demonic angels, anything but angels
  • 00:01:15.165 --> 00:01:16.432
  • Demonic angels, anything but angels in our sight.

  • Who discovered what i discovered years ago; maybe we discovered it
  • 00:01:26.276 --> 00:01:27.844
  • What i discovered years ago; maybe we discovered it about the same time.

  • That we didn't even as very dedicated baptists seem to think about demons
  • 00:01:39.956 --> 00:01:41.424
  • As very dedicated baptists seem to think about demons or talk about them,
  • 00:01:41.491 --> 00:01:42.992
  • Seem to think about demons or talk about them, although we were afraid
  • 00:01:43.059 --> 00:01:44.494
  • Or talk about them, although we were afraid we were going to scare them
  • 00:01:44.561 --> 00:01:45.662

  • Okay, what happened to you? jake: i grew up in a great christian family.
  • 00:02:29.706 --> 00:02:31.007
  • Jake: i grew up in a great christian family. my parents got saved
  • 00:02:31.074 --> 00:02:32.275
  • About two years old.
  • 00:02:33.543 --> 00:02:34.611
  • About two years old. went to a great church,
  • 00:02:34.677 --> 00:02:35.712
  • Went to a great church, a bible-believing church,
  • 00:02:35.778 --> 00:02:36.779
  • A bible-believing church, but did not believe,
  • 00:02:36.846 --> 00:02:37.847
  • But did not believe, like you said, in the gifts
  • 00:02:37.914 --> 00:02:38.915
  • Like you said, in the gifts of the holy spirit
  • 00:02:38.982 --> 00:02:40.049
  • Of the holy spirit to where healing
  • 00:02:40.116 --> 00:02:41.251
  • To where healing or deliverance wasn't at all
  • 00:02:41.317 --> 00:02:42.352
  • So for me, i always
  • 00:02:43.553 --> 00:02:44.687
  • So for me, i always considered myself a believer
  • 00:02:44.754 --> 00:02:45.989
  • So for me, i always considered myself a believer but when i was
  • 00:02:46.055 --> 00:02:47.190
  • Considered myself a believer but when i was in the sixth grade
  • 00:02:47.257 --> 00:02:48.258
  • But when i was in the sixth grade i got exposed to pornography,
  • 00:02:48.324 --> 00:02:49.525
  • In the sixth grade i got exposed to pornography, and then i got drawn
  • 00:02:49.592 --> 00:02:50.760
  • I got exposed to pornography, and then i got drawn into drinking,
  • 00:02:50.827 --> 00:02:51.928
  • And then i got drawn into drinking, and the party lifestyle,
  • 00:02:51.995 --> 00:02:53.129
  • Into drinking, and the party lifestyle, all that type of thing.
  • 00:02:53.196 --> 00:02:54.197
  • And the party lifestyle, all that type of thing. all the while saying
  • 00:02:54.264 --> 00:02:55.298
  • All that type of thing. all the while saying yeah, i'm a christian,
  • 00:02:55.365 --> 00:02:56.366
  • All the while saying yeah, i'm a christian, going to church,
  • 00:02:56.432 --> 00:02:57.467
  • Yeah, i'm a christian, going to church, but not just living it.
  • 00:02:57.533 --> 00:02:58.534
  • Going to church, but not just living it. not understanding
  • 00:02:58.601 --> 00:02:59.802
  • But not just living it. not understanding the true power of the gospel
  • 00:02:59.869 --> 00:03:01.037
  • Not understanding the true power of the gospel to walk in freedom
  • 00:03:01.104 --> 00:03:02.171
  • The true power of the gospel to walk in freedom and transformation.
  • 00:03:02.238 --> 00:03:03.339
  • To walk in freedom and transformation. so i was kind of living
  • 00:03:03.406 --> 00:03:04.474
  • And transformation. so i was kind of living my life this way;
  • 00:03:04.540 --> 00:03:05.508
  • So i was kind of living my life this way; kind of a nominal believer.
  • 00:03:05.575 --> 00:03:06.576
  • My life this way; kind of a nominal believer. when i went to college
  • 00:03:06.643 --> 00:03:07.677
  • Kind of a nominal believer. when i went to college it kind of got worse
  • 00:03:07.744 --> 00:03:08.745
  • When i went to college it kind of got worse because then my parents
  • 00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:10.046
  • It kind of got worse because then my parents weren't watching over me.
  • 00:03:10.113 --> 00:03:11.314
  • Because then my parents weren't watching over me. so i went right
  • 00:03:11.381 --> 00:03:12.382
  • Weren't watching over me. so i went right into the party lifestyle;
  • 00:03:12.448 --> 00:03:13.483
  • So i went right into the party lifestyle; just drinking, getting drunk,
  • 00:03:13.549 --> 00:03:14.651
  • Into the party lifestyle; just drinking, getting drunk, sexual sin,
  • 00:03:14.717 --> 00:03:15.785
  • Just drinking, getting drunk, sexual sin, but then going to bible study
  • 00:03:15.852 --> 00:03:17.053
  • Sexual sin, but then going to bible study on thursday nights.
  • 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:18.221
  • But then going to bible study on thursday nights. and not even thinking
  • 00:03:18.288 --> 00:03:19.355
  • On thursday nights. and not even thinking anything of it
  • 00:03:19.422 --> 00:03:20.490
  • And not even thinking anything of it because i was deceived,
  • 00:03:20.556 --> 00:03:21.524
  • Anything of it because i was deceived, like you said.
  • 00:03:21.591 --> 00:03:22.558
  • Because i was deceived, like you said. that's the nature of sin,
  • 00:03:22.625 --> 00:03:23.760
  • Like you said. that's the nature of sin, that's the nature of the
  • 00:03:23.826 --> 00:03:24.861
  • That's the nature of sin, that's the nature of the enemy, he is very deceptive.
  • 00:03:24.927 --> 00:03:25.995
  • That's the nature of the enemy, he is very deceptive. and so, going to church,
  • 00:03:26.062 --> 00:03:27.130
  • Enemy, he is very deceptive. and so, going to church, going to bible study
  • 00:03:27.196 --> 00:03:28.197
  • And so, going to church, going to bible study but living
  • 00:03:28.264 --> 00:03:29.265
  • Going to bible study but living just like the world.
  • 00:03:29.332 --> 00:03:30.333
  • But living just like the world. then it all came to a head.
  • 00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.401
  • Just like the world. then it all came to a head. at the end of my freshman year
  • 00:03:31.467 --> 00:03:32.502
  • Then it all came to a head. at the end of my freshman year i was at this retreat
  • 00:03:32.568 --> 00:03:33.670
  • At the end of my freshman year i was at this retreat with a campus ministry.
  • 00:03:33.736 --> 00:03:34.837
  • I was at this retreat with a campus ministry. that's when the holy spirit
  • 00:03:34.904 --> 00:03:36.072
  • With a campus ministry. that's when the holy spirit began to convict me
  • 00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:37.240
  • That's when the holy spirit began to convict me and draw me to this place
  • 00:03:37.307 --> 00:03:39.309
  • Began to convict me and draw me to this place of deep repentance
  • 00:03:39.375 --> 00:03:40.710
  • And draw me to this place of deep repentance where i just began to see
  • 00:03:40.777 --> 00:03:42.111
  • Of deep repentance where i just began to see my sin for what it was
  • 00:03:42.178 --> 00:03:43.279
  • Where i just began to see my sin for what it was and drew me to this place
  • 00:03:43.346 --> 00:03:45.081
  • My sin for what it was and drew me to this place of true surrender,
  • 00:03:45.148 --> 00:03:46.482
  • And drew me to this place of true surrender, and just encountered
  • 00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:47.650
  • Of true surrender, and just encountered the love of god,
  • 00:03:47.717 --> 00:03:48.918
  • And just encountered the love of god, encountered deep repentance.
  • 00:03:48.985 --> 00:03:50.186
  • The love of god, encountered deep repentance. but also,
  • 00:03:50.253 --> 00:03:51.521
  • Encountered deep repentance. but also, through this encounter,
  • 00:03:51.587 --> 00:03:52.789
  • But also, through this encounter, was radically set free.
  • 00:03:52.855 --> 00:03:55.191
  • Through this encounter, was radically set free. there are bondages in my life,
  • 00:03:55.258 --> 00:03:56.559
  • Was radically set free. there are bondages in my life, lust, immorality, drinking,
  • 00:03:56.626 --> 00:03:59.429
  • There are bondages in my life, lust, immorality, drinking, and even anger issues,
  • 00:03:59.495 --> 00:04:00.963
  • Lust, immorality, drinking, and even anger issues, god just completely broke
  • 00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:02.365
  • And even anger issues, god just completely broke the chains in that encounter.
  • 00:04:02.432 --> 00:04:03.900
  • God just completely broke the chains in that encounter. james: and how did you
  • 00:04:03.966 --> 00:04:04.967
  • The chains in that encounter. james: and how did you connect that
  • 00:04:05.034 --> 00:04:06.202
  • James: and how did you connect that to demonic activity
  • 00:04:06.269 --> 00:04:07.337
  • Connect that to demonic activity in your life?
  • 00:04:07.403 --> 00:04:08.371
  • Jake: well, the thing was
  • 00:04:08.471 --> 00:04:09.472
  • Jake: well, the thing was at the time
  • 00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:10.540
  • Jake: well, the thing was at the time i didn't know to connect it.
  • 00:04:10.606 --> 00:04:11.708
  • At the time i didn't know to connect it. because in my mind
  • 00:04:11.774 --> 00:04:12.909
  • This is what god does
  • 00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:15.345
  • This is what god does when people come to know him
  • 00:04:15.411 --> 00:04:16.546
  • I didn't
  • 00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:18.848

  • 00:08:03.072 --> 00:08:04.340
  • Is that not what they do? jake: absolutely! jesus said
  • 00:08:04.407 --> 00:08:05.641
  • Jake: absolutely! jesus said you'll know the truth and
  • 00:08:05.708 --> 00:08:07.043
  • And so if the truth
  • 00:08:08.477 --> 00:08:09.679
  • And so if the truth sets you free
  • 00:08:09.745 --> 00:08:10.813
  • Sets you free then lies and deceptions
  • 00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:11.981
  • Then lies and deceptions keep you in bondage.
  • 00:08:12.048 --> 00:08:13.149
  • Keep you in bondage. you can even see it with judas
  • 00:08:13.215 --> 00:08:14.350
  • You can even see it with judas when he betrayed jesus.
  • 00:08:14.417 --> 00:08:15.484
  • When he betrayed jesus. it actually says the
  • 00:08:15.551 --> 00:08:16.619
  • Or into the heart of judas
  • 00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:19.355
  • Or into the heart of judas to betray him.
  • 00:08:19.422 --> 00:08:20.823
  • Or into the heart of judas to betray him. so even that thought,
  • 00:08:20.890 --> 00:08:22.191
  • To betray him. so even that thought, even that desire or that
  • 00:08:22.258 --> 00:08:23.492
  • So even that thought, even that desire or that thought to betray jesus,
  • 00:08:23.559 --> 00:08:24.727
  • Even that desire or that thought to betray jesus, the devil himself planted it
  • 00:08:24.794 --> 00:08:26.696
  • Thought to betray jesus, the devil himself planted it in his heart.
  • 00:08:26.762 --> 00:08:27.964
  • The devil himself planted it in his heart. so yeah, not every thought
  • 00:08:28.030 --> 00:08:29.131
  • In his heart. so yeah, not every thought that we have is our own.
  • 00:08:29.198 --> 00:08:30.199
  • So yeah, not every thought that we have is our own. sometimes people are battling
  • 00:08:30.266 --> 00:08:31.334
  • That we have is our own. sometimes people are battling with thoughts that they think
  • 00:08:31.400 --> 00:08:32.401
  • Sometimes people are battling with thoughts that they think are just their own thoughts.
  • 00:08:32.468 --> 00:08:33.603
  • With thoughts that they think are just their own thoughts. maybe it is tormenting fears.
  • 00:08:33.669 --> 00:08:34.770
  • Are just their own thoughts. maybe it is tormenting fears. maybe it is lust.
  • 00:08:34.837 --> 00:08:35.938
  • Maybe it is tormenting fears. maybe it is lust. maybe it's anger.
  • 00:08:36.005 --> 00:08:37.106
  • Maybe it is lust. maybe it's anger. maybe it's bitterness.
  • 00:08:37.173 --> 00:08:38.274
  • Maybe it's anger. maybe it's bitterness. james: unforgiveness.
  • 00:08:38.341 --> 00:08:39.542
  • Maybe it's bitterness. james: unforgiveness. jake: absolutely!
  • 00:08:39.609 --> 00:08:40.743
  • James: unforgiveness. jake: absolutely! obviously,
  • 00:08:40.810 --> 00:08:42.078
  • Jake: absolutely! obviously, we still have the flesh.
  • 00:08:42.144 --> 00:08:43.346
  • Obviously, we still have the flesh. we still have
  • 00:08:43.412 --> 00:08:44.513
  • We still have the flesh. we still have to overcome the flesh
  • 00:08:44.580 --> 00:08:45.681
  • We still have to overcome the flesh and walk in the spirit.
  • 00:08:45.748 --> 00:08:46.849
  • To overcome the flesh and walk in the spirit. but not every thought we have
  • 00:08:46.916 --> 00:08:48.117
  • And walk in the spirit. but not every thought we have is our own.
  • 00:08:48.184 --> 00:08:49.151
  • But not every thought we have is our own. absolutely true.
  • 00:08:49.218 --> 00:08:50.286
  • Is our own. absolutely true. betty: a lot of times too,
  • 00:08:50.353 --> 00:08:51.487
  • Absolutely true. betty: a lot of times too, i think this is
  • 00:08:51.554 --> 00:08:52.655
  • Betty: a lot of times too, i think this is a ploy of the enemy,
  • 00:08:52.722 --> 00:08:53.789
  • I think this is a ploy of the enemy, he wants to keep you deceived
  • 00:08:53.856 --> 00:08:55.057
  • A ploy of the enemy, he wants to keep you deceived in the fact
  • 00:08:55.124 --> 00:08:56.158
  • He wants to keep you deceived in the fact that you don't know
  • 00:08:56.225 --> 00:08:57.259
  • In the fact that you don't know what is coming at you.
  • 00:08:57.326 --> 00:08:58.594
  • That you don't know what is coming at you. you don't know
  • 00:08:58.661 --> 00:08:59.695
  • What is coming at you. you don't know what is causing it
  • 00:08:59.762 --> 00:09:00.830
  • You don't know what is causing it or who is causing it.
  • 00:09:00.896 --> 00:09:01.931
  • What is causing it or who is causing it. because i was
  • 00:09:01.998 --> 00:09:03.065
  • Or who is causing it. because i was a good little baptist.
  • 00:09:03.132 --> 00:09:04.200
  • Because i was a good little baptist. but i was covered in fear,
  • 00:09:04.266 --> 00:09:05.301
  • A good little baptist. but i was covered in fear, and so it kept me
  • 00:09:05.368 --> 00:09:06.469
  • But i was covered in fear, and so it kept me from serving him
  • 00:09:06.535 --> 00:09:07.570
  • And so it kept me from serving him and loving him,
  • 00:09:07.637 --> 00:09:08.638
  • From serving him and loving him, and doing what he had
  • 00:09:08.704 --> 00:09:09.705
  • And loving him, and doing what he had for my life
  • 00:09:09.772 --> 00:09:10.773
  • And doing what he had for my life because i was just eaten up
  • 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:11.807
  • For my life because i was just eaten up with it.
  • 00:09:11.874 --> 00:09:12.875
  • Because i was just eaten up with it. didn't want to look
  • 00:09:12.942 --> 00:09:13.909
  • With it. didn't want to look to the right or to the left.
  • 00:09:13.976 --> 00:09:15.244
  • Didn't want to look to the right or to the left. didn't know what to do.
  • 00:09:15.311 --> 00:09:16.479
  • To the right or to the left. didn't know what to do. so i just wanted to be still
  • 00:09:16.545 --> 00:09:17.546
  • Didn't know what to do. so i just wanted to be still and be quiet and maybe
  • 00:09:17.613 --> 00:09:18.648
  • So i just wanted to be still and be quiet and maybe whoever wouldn't notice.
  • 00:09:18.714 --> 00:09:21.283
  • And be quiet and maybe whoever wouldn't notice. i could see all the trouble
  • 00:09:21.350 --> 00:09:22.551
  • Whoever wouldn't notice. i could see all the trouble that james felt in his heart.
  • 00:09:22.618 --> 00:09:24.420
  • I could see all the trouble that james felt in his heart. i didn't know how to help him.
  • 00:09:24.487 --> 00:09:26.122
  • That james felt in his heart. i didn't know how to help him. so we need to identify
  • 00:09:26.188 --> 00:09:28.424
  • I didn't know how to help him. so we need to identify who is coming after us.
  • 00:09:28.491 --> 00:09:30.259
  • So we need to identify who is coming after us. jake: that's right!
  • 00:09:30.326 --> 00:09:31.293
  • Who is coming after us. jake: that's right! i found that many people
  • 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:32.294
  • Jake: that's right! i found that many people are struggling with issues
  • 00:09:32.361 --> 00:09:33.429

  • 00:09:33.496 --> 00:09:34.497
  • Are struggling with issues whether it is torments, oppressions, or bondages,
  • 00:09:34.563 --> 00:09:35.564

  • 00:09:35.631 --> 00:09:36.932
  • Oppressions, or bondages, and they just think they are going to live that way
  • 00:09:36.999 --> 00:09:38.200

  • 00:09:38.267 --> 00:09:39.402
  • Are going to live that way the rest of their lives. they think it's who they are.
  • 00:09:39.468 --> 00:09:40.569

  • 00:09:40.636 --> 00:09:41.637
  • They think it's who they are. they think it is their personality.
  • 00:09:41.704 --> 00:09:42.738
  • They think it is their personality. maybe they grew up that way
  • 00:09:42.805 --> 00:09:43.839

  • 00:09:43.906 --> 00:09:45.041
  • Maybe they grew up that way and it was part of their family culture
  • 00:09:45.107 --> 00:09:46.175
  • And it was part of their family culture and they don't even realize
  • 00:09:46.242 --> 00:09:47.243
  • Their family culture and they don't even realize what they're battling
  • 00:09:47.309 --> 00:09:48.310
  • And they don't even realize what they're battling is demonic influence
  • 00:09:48.377 --> 00:09:49.378
  • And evil spirits.
  • 00:09:49.478 --> 00:09:50.446
  • And evil spirits. james: i think that's
  • 00:09:50.513 --> 00:09:51.681
  • And evil spirits. james: i think that's because we don't understand.
  • 00:09:51.747 --> 00:09:52.882
  • James: i think that's because we don't understand. you don't have to go through

  • Is greater than it's ever been in this nation.
  • 00:12:02.378 --> 00:12:03.512
  • Yes, the devil is real.

  • Yes, the devil is real. yes, demonic influence
  • 00:12:06.515 --> 00:12:07.550
  • Yes, the devil is real. yes, demonic influence is real.
  • 00:12:07.616 --> 00:12:08.651
  • Yes, demonic influence is real. but jesus is still
  • 00:12:08.717 --> 00:12:09.752
  • Is real. but jesus is still the deliverer.
  • 00:12:09.819 --> 00:12:10.853
  • But jesus is still the deliverer. he came to set captives free.
  • 00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:11.954
  • The deliverer. he came to set captives free. he gave the church the tools,
  • 00:12:12.021 --> 00:12:13.989
  • He came to set captives free. he gave the church the tools, he gave the church
  • 00:12:14.056 --> 00:12:15.291
  • He gave the church the tools, he gave the church the authority.
  • 00:12:15.357 --> 00:12:16.458
  • He gave the church the authority. i think that the word that
  • 00:12:16.525 --> 00:12:17.593
  • The authority. i think that the word that you were describing earlier
  • 00:12:17.660 --> 00:12:18.794
  • I think that the word that you were describing earlier is authority.
  • 00:12:18.861 --> 00:12:19.929
  • You were describing earlier is authority. so he told the church,
  • 00:12:19.995 --> 00:12:21.163
  • Is authority. so he told the church, "these signs will follow
  • 00:12:21.230 --> 00:12:22.264
  • So he told the church, "these signs will follow those who believe.
  • 00:12:22.331 --> 00:12:23.399
  • "these signs will follow those who believe. in my name,
  • 00:12:23.465 --> 00:12:24.600
  • Those who believe. in my name, they will cast out demons."
  • 00:12:24.667 --> 00:12:25.868
  • In my name, they will cast out demons." that is what you described,
  • 00:12:25.935 --> 00:12:27.102
  • They will cast out demons." that is what you described, that authority
  • 00:12:27.169 --> 00:12:28.237
  • That is what you described, that authority to make commands.
  • 00:12:28.304 --> 00:12:29.338
  • That authority to make commands. i believe that as we see
  • 00:12:29.405 --> 00:12:30.506
  • To make commands. i believe that as we see more and more people,
  • 00:12:30.573 --> 00:12:31.774
  • I believe that as we see more and more people, and more and more believers,
  • 00:12:31.841 --> 00:12:32.975
  • More and more people, and more and more believers, more and more churches
  • 00:12:33.042 --> 00:12:34.143
  • And more and more believers, more and more churches just embrace this call
  • 00:12:34.210 --> 00:12:35.377
  • More and more churches just embrace this call as part of the gospel --
  • 00:12:35.444 --> 00:12:36.579
  • Just embrace this call as part of the gospel -- it is not the whole gospel,
  • 00:12:36.645 --> 00:12:37.746
  • As part of the gospel -- it is not the whole gospel, but it is a key part
  • 00:12:37.813 --> 00:12:38.881
  • It is not the whole gospel, but it is a key part of the gospel.
  • 00:12:38.948 --> 00:12:40.216
  • But it is a key part of the gospel. and as we see the church
  • 00:12:40.282 --> 00:12:41.450
  • Of the gospel. and as we see the church embrace this, then we'll see
  • 00:12:41.517 --> 00:12:42.618
  • And as we see the church embrace this, then we'll see many more people set free.
  • 00:12:42.685 --> 00:12:43.819
  • Embrace this, then we'll see many more people set free. as more people are set free
  • 00:12:43.886 --> 00:12:45.054
  • Many more people set free. as more people are set free it sets families free,
  • 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.355
  • As more people are set free it sets families free, it sets the nation free
  • 00:12:46.422 --> 00:12:48.858
  • It sets families free, it sets the nation free as we one by one,
  • 00:12:48.924 --> 00:12:50.960
  • It sets the nation free as we one by one, we see churches embrace it,
  • 00:12:51.026 --> 00:12:52.328
  • As we one by one, we see churches embrace it, we see believers embrace it
  • 00:12:52.394 --> 00:12:53.696
  • We see churches embrace it, we see believers embrace it and they get set free.
  • 00:12:53.762 --> 00:12:55.064
  • We see believers embrace it and they get set free. they get established
  • 00:12:55.130 --> 00:12:56.365
  • And they get set free. they get established in freedom.
  • 00:12:56.432 --> 00:12:57.633
  • They get established in freedom. many times, what i've seen
  • 00:12:57.700 --> 00:12:58.934
  • In freedom. many times, what i've seen is that once a believer
  • 00:12:59.001 --> 00:13:00.302
  • Many times, what i've seen is that once a believer experiences deliverance
  • 00:13:00.369 --> 00:13:01.570
  • Is that once a believer experiences deliverance just like your own story,
  • 00:13:01.637 --> 00:13:02.838
  • Experiences deliverance just like your own story, then you begin to lead
  • 00:13:02.905 --> 00:13:04.139
  • Just like your own story, then you begin to lead other people into deliverance.
  • 00:13:04.206 --> 00:13:05.441
  • Then you begin to lead other people into deliverance. once you get set free
  • 00:13:05.507 --> 00:13:06.709
  • Other people into deliverance. once you get set free you want to lead other people
  • 00:13:06.775 --> 00:13:07.977
  • Once you get set free you want to lead other people into that.
  • 00:13:08.043 --> 00:13:09.111
  • It is like a chain reaction.
  • 00:13:09.211 --> 00:13:10.379
  • It is like a chain reaction. james: would you agree
  • 00:13:10.446 --> 00:13:11.547

  • 00:13:11.614 --> 00:13:12.781
  • James: would you agree that if our nation does not change direction
  • 00:13:12.848 --> 00:13:14.016
  • That if our nation does not change direction and stop believing
  • 00:13:14.083 --> 00:13:15.351
  • Does not change direction and stop believing the deceiver
  • 00:13:15.417 --> 00:13:16.518
  • And stop believing the deceiver and living with the deception
  • 00:13:16.585 --> 00:13:19.021
  • Of the enemy prevailing
  • 00:13:19.121 --> 00:13:20.256
  • Of the enemy prevailing in their life,

  • And all over the world, and we're seeing that right now.
  • 00:13:29.565 --> 00:13:30.699
  • And we're seeing that right now. but if we will recognize

  • And i can take authority and others can gather with me, and believers
  • 00:13:49.385 --> 00:13:50.719
  • And others can gather with me, and believers can take authority
  • 00:13:50.786 --> 00:13:51.987
  • And believers can take authority over the lying spirit,
  • 00:13:52.054 --> 00:13:53.289
  • Can take authority over the lying spirit, over the spirit of vengeance
  • 00:13:53.355 --> 00:13:55.991
  • Over the lying spirit, over the spirit of vengeance or hate or bitterness
  • 00:13:56.058 --> 00:13:58.494

  • And the only force on this earth that can correct the course
  • 00:14:08.370 --> 00:14:10.372
  • On this earth that can correct the course by exposing the deceiver

  • That can correct the course by exposing the deceiver and the deceiving spirits
  • 00:14:12.875 --> 00:14:14.443

  • Jewish and tax collector, weren't supposed to go together.
  • 00:21:40.222 --> 00:21:41.390
  • Weren't supposed to go together. to be one was to be
  • 00:21:41.456 --> 00:21:42.491
  • To go together. to be one was to be a traitor and a cheater,
  • 00:21:42.557 --> 00:21:43.692
  • To be one was to be a traitor and a cheater, a sinner of the highest order.
  • 00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:46.528

  • 00:21:49.998 --> 00:21:51.166
  • His profession when jesus recruited him to be one of his disciples.
  • 00:21:51.233 --> 00:21:52.868

  • 00:21:52.934 --> 00:21:54.436

  • 00:21:55.904 --> 00:21:57.139
  • The middle of it. but, what the religious saw as a scandal,
  • 00:21:57.205 --> 00:21:58.940
  • But, what the religious saw as a scandal, jesus saw as an opportunity.
  • 00:21:59.007 --> 00:22:01.109
  • As a scandal, jesus saw as an opportunity. now, i don't believe that god
  • 00:22:01.176 --> 00:22:03.211
  • Jesus saw as an opportunity. now, i don't believe that god created matthew as a cheat,
  • 00:22:03.278 --> 00:22:05.080
  • Now, i don't believe that god created matthew as a cheat, in the same way
  • 00:22:05.147 --> 00:22:06.348
  • Created matthew as a cheat, in the same way i don't believe
  • 00:22:06.415 --> 00:22:07.649

  • I don't believe that god creates anyone for any sinful profession.
  • 00:22:08.950 --> 00:22:10.452
  • That god creates anyone for any sinful profession. but matthew is a great example
  • 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.320
  • For any sinful profession. but matthew is a great example of how god repurposes
  • 00:22:12.387 --> 00:22:14.356
  • But matthew is a great example of how god repurposes someone's past
  • 00:22:14.423 --> 00:22:15.690
  • Of how god repurposes someone's past to relate his goodness
  • 00:22:15.757 --> 00:22:16.958
  • Someone's past to relate his goodness to others who have
  • 00:22:17.025 --> 00:22:18.160

  • 00:22:24.199 --> 00:22:25.467
  • After being chosen, matthew immediately invited jesus
  • 00:22:25.534 --> 00:22:26.701
  • Matthew immediately invited jesus to a dinner party
  • 00:22:26.768 --> 00:22:27.936
  • Invited jesus to a dinner party where many tax collectors
  • 00:22:28.003 --> 00:22:29.171
  • To a dinner party where many tax collectors and sinners
  • 00:22:29.237 --> 00:22:30.505
  • Where many tax collectors and sinners were introduced to him.
  • 00:22:30.572 --> 00:22:32.240
  • And sinners were introduced to him. your story has the same power
  • 00:22:32.307 --> 00:22:35.043
  • Were introduced to him. your story has the same power to introduce people
  • 00:22:35.110 --> 00:22:36.311
  • Your story has the same power to introduce people to the loving goodness of god.
  • 00:22:36.378 --> 00:22:38.480

  • 00:22:38.547 --> 00:22:39.815
  • To the loving goodness of god. that's him working with human nature.
  • 00:22:39.881 --> 00:22:41.183

  • 00:22:41.249 --> 00:22:42.417
  • With human nature. we naturally attract and relate to others like us.
  • 00:22:42.484 --> 00:22:44.719
  • We naturally attract and relate to others like us. your differences also

  • 00:22:50.192 --> 00:22:51.860
  • Where god wants you. consider the apostle paul. zealous is how
  • 00:22:51.927 --> 00:22:53.161
  • Consider the apostle paul. zealous is how he described himself.
  • 00:22:53.228 --> 00:22:54.429
  • Zealous is how he described himself. after his dramatic conversion
  • 00:22:54.496 --> 00:22:55.797
  • He described himself. after his dramatic conversion from persecutor to christian,
  • 00:22:55.864 --> 00:22:57.532

  • His attitude changed. but his over-the-top personality didn't,
  • 00:23:07.142 --> 00:23:08.477
  • But his over-the-top personality didn't, and for good reason.
  • 00:23:08.543 --> 00:23:10.145
  • Personality didn't, and for good reason. part of it
  • 00:23:10.212 --> 00:23:11.279
  • And for good reason. part of it was paul's stubbornness
  • 00:23:11.346 --> 00:23:12.647
  • Part of it was paul's stubbornness that caused him to focus
  • 00:23:12.714 --> 00:23:13.982
  • Was paul's stubbornness that caused him to focus his efforts on the gentiles
  • 00:23:14.049 --> 00:23:15.283
  • That caused him to focus his efforts on the gentiles rather than the jews.
  • 00:23:15.350 --> 00:23:16.485
  • His efforts on the gentiles rather than the jews. and when he did, he realized
  • 00:23:16.551 --> 00:23:17.752
  • He was to reach them
  • 00:23:20.121 --> 00:23:21.590
  • He was to reach them all along.
  • 00:23:21.656 --> 00:23:23.358
  • All along. you see,
  • 00:23:23.425 --> 00:23:24.559
  • You see, as a mosaic law scholar
  • 00:23:24.626 --> 00:23:25.927
  • As a mosaic law scholar who was classically
  • 00:23:25.994 --> 00:23:27.329
  • Paul was gifted
  • 00:23:28.763 --> 00:23:30.031

  • 00:23:30.098 --> 00:23:31.132
  • Paul was gifted to teach scripture in a way that greeks could understand.
  • 00:23:31.199 --> 00:23:33.869
  • To teach scripture in a way that greeks could understand. his background also gave him
  • 00:23:33.935 --> 00:23:35.203
  • That greeks could understand. his background also gave him roman citizenship
  • 00:23:35.270 --> 00:23:36.371
  • His background also gave him roman citizenship which opened many doors
  • 00:23:36.438 --> 00:23:37.739
  • Roman citizenship which opened many doors in that world.
  • 00:23:37.806 --> 00:23:39.241
  • Which opened many doors in that world. so, do you see?
  • 00:23:39.307 --> 00:23:40.976
  • In that world. so, do you see? god used every aspect
  • 00:23:41.042 --> 00:23:44.112
  • So, do you see? god used every aspect of paul's life,
  • 00:23:44.179 --> 00:23:45.413
  • God used every aspect of paul's life, even his rough edges,
  • 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:47.115
  • Of paul's life, even his rough edges, to accomplish
  • 00:23:47.182 --> 00:23:48.383
  • Even his rough edges, to accomplish what he was born to do.
  • 00:23:48.450 --> 00:23:49.985
  • To accomplish what he was born to do. god will do the same with you.
  • 00:23:50.051 --> 00:23:51.653
  • What he was born to do. god will do the same with you. your personality,
  • 00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:53.355
  • God will do the same with you. your personality, your pedigree,
  • 00:23:53.421 --> 00:23:54.689
  • Your personality, your pedigree, your style, your story:
  • 00:23:54.756 --> 00:23:56.725
  • Your pedigree, your style, your story: they all play a role
  • 00:23:56.791 --> 00:23:58.226

  • 00:24:04.232 --> 00:24:06.601
  • To people who need to see him. that's incredible purpose. but i propose that there is
  • 00:24:06.668 --> 00:24:08.570
  • That's incredible purpose. but i propose that there is at least one more way
  • 00:24:08.637 --> 00:24:10.472
  • But i propose that there is at least one more way god might use
  • 00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:11.873
  • At least one more way god might use your differences,
  • 00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:13.174
  • God might use your differences, and that's to shock people.
  • 00:24:13.241 --> 00:24:14.876

  • And that's to shock people. allow me to explain: religious people
  • 00:24:17.045 --> 00:24:18.613
  • Allow me to explain: religious people tend to believe that they
  • 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:19.881
  • Religious people tend to believe that they have god figured out.
  • 00:24:19.948 --> 00:24:21.416
  • Tend to believe that they have god figured out. many are so sure
  • 00:24:21.483 --> 00:24:22.717
  • Have god figured out. many are so sure about who he'll use
  • 00:24:22.784 --> 00:24:23.952
  • Many are so sure about who he'll use and who he won't:
  • 00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:25.153
  • About who he'll use and who he won't: who's in and who's out.
  • 00:24:25.220 --> 00:24:26.721
  • And who he won't: who's in and who's out. it seems that god
  • 00:24:26.788 --> 00:24:28.023
  • Who's in and who's out. it seems that god enjoys shattering
  • 00:24:28.089 --> 00:24:29.424
  • It seems that god enjoys shattering their expectations though.
  • 00:24:29.491 --> 00:24:30.859
  • Enjoys shattering their expectations though. the apostle paul's
  • 00:24:30.926 --> 00:24:32.227
  • Their expectations though. the apostle paul's young missionary partner,
  • 00:24:32.294 --> 00:24:33.528
  • The apostle paul's young missionary partner, timothy,
  • 00:24:33.595 --> 00:24:34.763
  • Young missionary partner, timothy, he's my favorite
  • 00:24:34.829 --> 00:24:36.131
  • Timothy, he's my favorite example of this.
  • 00:24:36.197 --> 00:24:37.365
  • He's my favorite example of this. do you know timothy's story?
  • 00:24:37.432 --> 00:24:38.700
  • Example of this. do you know timothy's story? he helped paul reach
  • 00:24:38.767 --> 00:24:39.968

  • 00:24:40.035 --> 00:24:41.269
  • He helped paul reach the gentiles in a huge way. yet, many would have
  • 00:24:41.336 --> 00:24:42.704
  • The gentiles in a huge way. yet, many would have never considered him
  • 00:24:42.771 --> 00:24:44.306
  • Yet, many would have never considered him qualified to do so,
  • 00:24:44.372 --> 00:24:46.341
  • Never considered him qualified to do so, because of the way
  • 00:24:46.408 --> 00:24:47.609
  • Qualified to do so, because of the way he was born.
  • 00:24:47.676 --> 00:24:48.743
  • Because of the way he was born. his mother was jewish
  • 00:24:48.810 --> 00:24:50.111
  • He was born. his mother was jewish and his father was greek,
  • 00:24:50.178 --> 00:24:51.179
  • His mother was jewish and his father was greek, and that was a big no-no
  • 00:24:51.246 --> 00:24:52.380
  • And his father was greek, and that was a big no-no in those days.
  • 00:24:52.447 --> 00:24:53.782
  • And that was a big no-no in those days. religious rules barred him
  • 00:24:53.848 --> 00:24:54.849
  • In those days. religious rules barred him from many things,
  • 00:24:54.916 --> 00:24:55.984
  • Religious rules barred him from many things, like being educated
  • 00:24:56.051 --> 00:24:57.152
  • From many things, like being educated with other jewish boys
  • 00:24:57.218 --> 00:24:58.286
  • Like being educated with other jewish boys and participating
  • 00:24:58.353 --> 00:24:59.588
  • With other jewish boys and participating in jewish festivals.
  • 00:24:59.654 --> 00:25:00.889
  • And participating in jewish festivals. he was different.
  • 00:25:00.956 --> 00:25:02.524
  • In jewish festivals. he was different. human wisdom
  • 00:25:02.591 --> 00:25:03.959
  • He was different. human wisdom would have suggested
  • 00:25:04.025 --> 00:25:05.393
  • Human wisdom would have suggested a more mainstream candidate
  • 00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:07.829
  • Would have suggested a more mainstream candidate to help paul.
  • 00:25:07.896 --> 00:25:09.631
  • A more mainstream candidate to help paul. but god had a different idea.
  • 00:25:09.698 --> 00:25:11.866
  • To help paul. but god had a different idea. at a time when people
  • 00:25:11.933 --> 00:25:13.034
