Clean, But Empty | Courteney Bence if you'll turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew 12 we'll start reading in verse 43 when an impure Spirit a demon comes out of a person it goes through Aid places seeking rest and it does not find it then it says I will return to the house I left when it arrives the demon Spirit it finds the house unoccupied swept clean and put in order then it goes and it takes with it seven other Spirits more wicked than itself and they go in and they live there and just this is Jesus speaking these are red letters and the final condition of that person is worse than the first this is how it will be in this wicked generation the message version of the Bible says it this way on return the demon Spirit finds the person spotlessly clean but vacant that's what I want to preach on today clean but empty and as a church we're going in to the final week of our fast and our faith is strong and we've been hearing some powerful messages and we've been sitting in some anointed times of worship and I hope you've been reading the word of God like we've all been doing collectively as a church and you know God God is setting people free from some addictions some things that have held you bound and held you down for a long time things that you couldn't quite break your mental health is feeling clear your ability to put aside that nicotine that Vape or that alcohol it's become a little bit easier while we're fasting and you can be completely set free from anything that's trying to confuse you bring division or hurt your identity in Christ some of the things that might be haunting you in your life during this fast you can be set free and I believe as we go into the last week of this fast if you haven't been set free then I'm going to go ahead and declare and prophesy over you that you're not going to walk out of those doors the same way that you walked in them and anything that's holding you bound will have to let you go in the mighty name of Jesus Jesus and you know during this fast we're feeling different and special types of Freedom right I mean what else would you feel we don't have anything else to do but read the word of God we we're hungry right but what about in February and in March when the divorce is finalized what about in April in May when that healing of cancer that you were praying for it doesn't happen and you start your chemo treatments what about when the bills are still due in June and July what about when that direction that you've really been looking for in that specific situation you still just don't feel like you know which way to go so a psychic or some tarot cards are sounding a lot more like an easier route to get to what you want right what about in November when depression and loneliness and grief begin to creep back in and tell you life's really not worth living anymore I know you were feeling good in January when you were on the F fast and you were denying your flesh but what about in the months to come what about when you've prayed and asked God for a baby but you flip over another negative pregnancy test in June what then Deliverance sweeps the house clean but the enemy comes to check on you in a few months and you can't just be swept clean and look good on the outside the enemy isn't the least but worried about you looking good on the outside if you aren't full of anything on the inside that can sustain your deliverance Deliverance sweeps the house clean but you need to fill your house back up in order to stay delivered because the Bible says that demon Spirit he's coming back and if he finds you clean but empty he says I'm going to find seven more wicked spirits and the significance of that biblically seven is the number of completion in the Bible means he's coming back to completely devastate and destroy your life he comes only to kill steal and destroy and see this is where I would challenge you today I would say clean but empty is not enough but the Gospel of Jesus Christ it's a participation gospel we don't do anything to earn or deserve our salvation but in order for us to sustain Deliverance in our life it is a participation gospel he says in Jeremiah 29:13 if you seek me you will find me he said in Matthew 11:28 come to me if you're weary and Heaven heavy laden and I will give you rest he said in Matthew 4:9 come follow me and I will make you Disciples of me Fishers of Men he will deliver us always salvation is accessible to all it's a free gift but we have to fill our lives with some things in order orders to sustain our deliverance in order for us to walk out the god-given calling that he has put on your life you weren't meant to just meet Jesus and then continue to struggle with the same things for decades and years he's a chain breaker he's not interested in leaving you where you are he's interested in giving you a purpose and a future for your life because the Temptation is inevitable Genesis 4: 7 says sin is crouching at your door it desires to have you but you must rule over it I want to speak for a few minutes today to the young people are there any young people in the house okay so y'all are fasting you sound pitiful are there young people in the house feel like I heard a 70-year-old scream louder than she's like I'm young at heart you are that's what matters see the enemy he he's not a creative enemy he has the same schemes and he has the same things that he's done from the beginning of time but see we create we serve a god who's a Creator a Creator who makes things new who is continually changing to make things into what they need to be but the enemy has to stick to his same old scheme names and so the Bible tells us in Mark 9 and14 it tells us a story it's one of the only ones in the Bible that I can find where there was a young boy the Bible says who was demon-possessed we aren't told and I don't know what doors he opened or maybe what doors were opened on him by the adults and his life but the Bible says that he was overcome by a demonic spirit and I think that this is an interesting thing I think we need to read the word of God and look to see these parallels that it's interesting to me the two abilities that the demon took from the young boy from the young person he number one made the the young boy deaf he could not hear his ears were closed and he made the boy mute he could not speak I believe one of the greatest demonic attacks of the enemy on this generation and in our world today is number one he wants your ears closed up so that you are deaf to hear the truth of the word of God spoken over your life and number two he wants to keep you silent and keep you mute there's nothing more that the enemy wants than for you to sit under anointed Services every single week hearing the truth of the word of God spoken over you and you to think that's not really applicable to me it doesn't work for me that's not for me see you don't know what I've done see you don't know how bad I've messed up see you don't know what was done to me by the people who were supposed to protect me but I've come to tell you today that we overcome by the blood of the lamb and this is an interesting word that they chose that the the Bible says and the word of Our Testimony the the enemy wants to keep you silent but we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of Our Testimony the word of Our Testimony doesn't just mean my story what the word of my testimony means is my testimony isn't well I did this and then this and yes that is your testimony but more importantly the testimony is I have seen the goodness of God in the land of the living He is faithful he is Holy he is mighty he is worthy of all praise he's an ontime God he always shows up he's always there to rescue me that is how we overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of Our Testimony and you are being lied to every single day by this broken world and told you are not enough you're a mistake you're too far gone you aren't capable you're not loved you're a victim and you will be forever you're used up you were born into the wrong body but I've come to tell you today the truth that will set you completely free and that is this is that you are a gener a chosen generation a royal priesthood you've been called out of Darkness Into His Marvelous Light he has good plans for you plans for a hope and a future that no scheme in hell can stand against nothing can pluck you out of his nail-pierced hands no weapon formed against you shall prosper you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus by his stripes you are healed healing is yours by his chastisement peace is yours he has called you by name he has redeemed you and you are mine saith the Lord If His Eye Is on the Sparrow surely he watches over you nothing is impossible with God I'm not just saying things to rile you up I'm speaking the promises of God over your ears today and I right now ask the Lord to crack open and break some broken ears that have not been able to hear the truth I am talking to you I'm talking to someone in Alpharetta I'm talking to someone in guette I'm talking to someone sitting in a prison he's not done with you yet he's not finished with you yet yet these promises are not just applicable to those sitting in this room they're applicable to you whether you're watching this online or in a jail cell he is still more than able to keep you from falling and all we hear is the Doom and Gloom all the time but my Bible says this is the promise that in the last days I will pour out my spirit on All Flesh and your sons and your daughters where are you young people your sons and your daughters they shall prophesy they shall not be mute they shall not be quiet they shall prophesy in the name of Jesus the reason the enemy wants to keep you shut up is because there's a prophetic promise over your mouth and he knows this is how you overcome prophesy your promise to your situation right now it might not look good it might not make sense but when you begin to open up your mouth and prophesy Lord I'm listening to what you're saying I'm not listening to what the doctor said I'm not listening to what the the tarot card is saying that this is not going to be my day today no today this is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it he has good plans for me today don't allow the enemy because we have full authority over him by the way to steal your ears to hear and stop your voice from declaring the goodness of God the Bible says this that the boy the young young man would throw himself into the fire and burn his body which is an example of self harm and spirit of suicide side one out of six of you in this room statistics say have engaged in self harm one out of four of you have thought about harming yourself suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people today one out of five school students down to the age of nine have reported serious thoughts of suicide it's a spirit of self har it's a spirit of suicide it's a demonic Spirit of depression the Bible actually calls him Fierce is the name of the demon it's a Fierce demon that's after our young people after our children after our families but oh this gets me excited and the demons couldn't cast or the disciples couldn't cast this demon out so they went to Jesus and they said Jesus why can't we cast this demon out of this boy and Jesus said because this kind cometh out only by prayer and fasting and I don't know about you but I've been praying this week and I've been fasting and I've come to tell a demon of self harm and suicide if you are in this room and I know you are with those statistics you are coming out today this is you being put on notice it's your eviction notice you're going to come on out of that young person of that adults you can no longer hold them captive in the mighty name of Jesus I ask that you break open ears right now to hear the truth I ask that you loose tongues to speak of the goodness of God and I thank you that this kind cometh out only by prayer and fasting I don't know what has been done to you what kind of abuse or crippling moment has taken effect into your life that the Bible says that Jesus reached down the boy was laying on the ground reached down picked him up by the hand and put him on his feet some of you are going to get up today Jesus said to that demon you death and mute spirit I command you come out of him and never enter him again you can be set free from thoughts of suicide today and they will never enter your mind again not by anything that I'm up here saying but by the blood of Jesus Christ that's more powerful than any demon in hell that's more powerful than a spirit of suicide depression and anxiety and fear there's nothing that has been done to you that God can't redeem and give you a purpose for in your life some of you are going to come back to life today the Bible says that the boy's body looked like a corpse they thought he was dead but Jesus reached down picked him up and put his feet on Solid Ground we serve a good God we serve a well a God we serve a God who can bring dead things back to life we serve a miracle working God we serve a God who is still The God Who Health thee he is still sitting on the throne he's not Allah he's not Muhammad he's not Buddha he's not not Shiva he's not a tarot card he is the king of kings he is the name above all names he is the chain breaker he is the one that can set you completely free the mention of his name demons begin to tremble hell would have never shed his blood had they known what it was going to unleash for you and for me stop living bound up in things you were never made for Jesus has called you you out of that Darkness into his light he has a plan and a purpose for your life that hell canot Stop open your ears to hear ((applause)) it living with an empty clean house and soul isn't the goal it will not keep you safe from the plans of the enemy the enemy isn't scared of a fake surface level religion he's not scared of you showing up and just going through the motions now what he's terrified of is you having an encounter with the Living God is you putting some disciplines into your life and saying I'm going to make you my number one priority God and when I put you first all the other things are going to fall on line he fears what you replace that addiction with he fears what you start feeding your spirit on he fears you learning what your identity is and it was never broken addicted or too far gone it was chosen redeemed and called clean but empty is an open invitation for destruction in your life being swept clean isn't an issue for the enemy it's what you decide to fill your life back up with that denies his plans James 4 says this submit yourself then to God resist the devil and he will flee from you you need to decide today I'm going to fill my house back up my soul back up with some things that are going to deny the plans that the enemy has in February in April in March in December he's coming he's coming back are you going to be ready you going to be spotlessly clean or are you going to be full we need to become a house of the word if you want to learn who you are and who you are it can't be done by songs and worship it can't be done by sermons it can't be done by anything else except for you learning to pick up this book and reading what he says about you this is the most powerful Unstoppable thing that you can access and begin to put into your life it changes everything hell cannot stand against the mighty word of God I need someone to understand this today even if you don't believe what this book says about you the enemy does that enemy that you're giving a pep talk to every time you open up your mouth what he's terrified of is you beginning to open up this book and recognizing and believing what he says about you Jesus said this when he was in the wilderness fasting for 40 days 40 days and we are just doing a puny 21 day I'm just kidding it's not puny I'm hungry God called me this year I'm doing a liquid only 21-day fast and I'm on day 15 of 21 days and I feel wonderful okay if you if I feel great today haven't felt great every day but I feel really good today I can't imagine 40 days there feels like that's no end in sight but the Bible says that Jesus went out into the Wilderness and he fasted for 40 days his belly was empty and cleaned out but he was full of the word of God and when Satan came to tempt him the Bible says that he wrote he he his response to the enemy when he came was it is written it is written it is written that man shall not live on bread alone but from every word that comes out of the mouth of God this is the word that came out of the mouth of God this is how we overcome this is how we fill our souls back up this is how we encourage ourselves Timothy 1:18 he said to Timothy Timothy my son here are my instructions for you based on the prophetic words spoken about you earlier may they help you fight well in the Lord's battle who are they the word of God is who they are may they help you fight well I'm in a health battle but I've got a word I haven't seen my child they're lost they're strung out on on drugs but I've got a word Jeremiah 31 says my children will return from the land of the enemy when Paul described the word of God he depicted it as an offensive weapon used in spiritual warfare against the devil demons and their schemes when we pull out the sword of truth and begin to fight our battles with it when we begin to consume it that's when hell flees and if you don't know how to do that then guess what you're a part of a really good church we have school of discipleship we have next steps we have resources to help you get into this book you're not doing this alone it doesn't have to be overwhelming download an app Listen to the word of God put it in an earphone as you go to sleep at night and see how well you'll rest become a house of the word and when you get his word I promise you it's a gateway drug to becoming a House of Prayer I don't care how young you are I don't care how old you are you need a prayer life Jesus wants you to talk to him not just your pretty prayers he's interested in your ugly prayers too he's all right with your questions he's okay with your anger he's all right when you don't understand he has an ear to hear you we hear things like pray without ceasing and that feels intimidating right do you want to know what that means I just talk to Jesus about everything when I'm riding down the road God help me God this hurt me today when this happened and and when this person said this to me that that really messed me up and that it's that simple it's talking to a friend who hears you never stop praying because God is never not listening the enemy can't come back and find rest in a house of prayer a lot of people feel intimidated by this but that's why his word is the gateway drug to prayer because his word will teach you how to pray they asked the disciples asked Jesus how do we pray and he said like this Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom I know sometimes we hear people get up and they start praying and it feels really intimidating but if you'll just open up this book and start reciting the Lord's Prayer every single day things will start to change get some prayers like Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want he maketh me to lie down in Green Pastures he leads me beside the Still Waters when you don't know what to pray begin to pray his word begin to call on his name the Bible says the prayer of Jaz are there any business owners or entrepreneurs or maybe you're wanting a promotion at work you're not satisfied with where you are begin to pray the prayer of Jaz oh that you would bless me indeed that you would enlarge my territory that your hand would be upon me and that you would keep me from Evil and the Bible says so God granted him his request I don't know about you but I would like for him to enlarge my territory I would like for him to do that Psalms 91 said I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my Fortress my God in whom I trust God said because you love me you will rescue me what if in the middle of your situation and your dark and broken hour you just begin to say to God God in Psalm 91 I don't feel it right now I don't understand it none of it's making sense but in Psalm 91 you said because you love me you will rescue me because you love me you will rescue me that I can find Shel Al I can find help in your Shadow according to your word so God give me that now if you don't know a book to pray in the Bible turn to Ephesians Paul wrote this he said I pray for the spirit of wisdom and Revelation that you might know him better I pray that over my babies every day that the eyes of your heart May in be in enlightened in order that you might know the hope to which he has called you do you think I I just envisioned when I first read this scripture I thought wow yes he was probably sitting on this Mountaintop and having this beautiful moment where I mean I pray that the eyes of your heart man yeah that feels glorious he's in a prison cell Paul was in a prison cell in shackles when he wrote that and so when you're in the middle of your prison moment when you're in the middle of your hard difficult moment when you begin to say God enlighten me open up my eyes to the hope to which you have called me things begin to change the enemy comes back and says hey I know she overcame cancer once but that same old demon oh but we gave her the remission diagnosis today let's head on back I guarantee you she's over there having a pity party and falling apart but when he shows up at your door when he's crouching at your house and he hears a yay though I walk through the valley of the sh shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me thy rod and they staff they comfort me oh death where is your sting oh grave where is your Victory my God has overcome it that's that's what sends demons fleeing from you that's where they realize I can't win this war they understand they get it they know how to overcome I can't take anything from them that Jesus hasn't given to them Pray when you're questioned in Pray when things don't make sense Pray when you may not even fully have faith for it because no matter if you feel it believe it or have faith for it the enemy knows that the power of prayer he knows that God's word cannot return void that is his promise for you today the power of speaking to the one who holds your past so the enemy can't throw it in your face the one who holds your present and the one who holds your future we have to become a House of unshakable Prayer fill yourself back up with prayer and last but certainly not least we have to decide today God I'm going to clean some things out you're going to clean some things out he doesn't he's he's not interested in just polishing you up Jesus said I'll make you a new creation brand new but you can be filled with the Holy Ghost today with a Heavenly language that no demon in hell can interpret or decipher and the Bible says it's him interceding over you on your behalf things that you don't even know you need to be praying about a car accident that might be down the road when you begin to speak in the holy spirit it's him interceding on your behalf for you I don't want you to leave here today clean but empty you can leave here today clean and full because what God fills it overflows he said don't be drunk with wine because that will ruin your life instead be filled with the Holy Spirit the holy spirit will guide you and teach you Romans 15 says I pray the that God the source of all hope will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him then you will what just be satisfactory just have enough no you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit I believe today as I've been preaching and as I've been praying all this week I felt such a burden for people who have been struggling with addictions in their life maybe maybe it's a really glaring addiction maybe it's something that everybody can see but God isn't interested in just dealing with the things that people can see he's interested in dealing with the addiction to pornography it's a counterfeit of what God created and it will never satisfy you ((music playing)) I believe there are people in this room today that you have some hidden addictions maybe it is the addiction of pornography or maybe it's an addiction that started with a doctor's prescription but has taken complete control of your life and I feel like there are people in this room today and you are at a Crossroads that that thing that maybe you were delivered from once you're you're playing with again you're messing with again it's well it's it's just the horoscope right I'm not going fully to the psychic the stars were put there by him he's named all of them he knows all of them they don't call you by name he does they don't tell you your future he does he doesn't need a psychic or a human to tell you he will now believe there's people in this room today that if I could be so bold to say it this might be your last chance because we're not promised tomorrow we're not promised tonight it is appointed unto all men a day and I would say to you if you've been sitting here in this service today and saying yeah yeah but she's not talking to me she doesn't know I don't but he does and he says no I'm not done with you yet no come to me lay it all down and see what you can pick back up which will be what I pour out into you and so today I want us to bring some things down to this altar the reason it's called an altar is it will alter your life the old school preachers used to say this is called a pool pit because we're pulling people out of the pit and I believe today that the holy spirit is in this room and in this place and my Jesus is here to reach down and pick you up and put you on Solid Ground not Shaky Ground not to where you have to question your salvation all the time no he will set you like he did with this young boy completely free never again you can walk away from some things today that have held you bound some things that have haunted you some things that if you don't cut it today if you don't cut that rope today will come back and destroy your life completely I'm not saying this to scare you I'm saying this because I know the Holy Spirit has dealt with me this week on it there are people under the sound of my voice at all of our campuses and this is your your kind loving SA saor saying this is it I'm not talking to somebody else I'm talking to you you can be set free today I want everyone standing to their feet please please no moving around if you're in this room today I want to do two altar calls I want people if you want to come lay some things down maybe you're in this room today and you don't want anything to hold you you're ready to get rid of the V don't walk down to the Altar and leave it in your pocket and walk back out leave it here leave it leave it here exchange it for peace for Joy for love for grace and I want to call if you're a young person in this room I feel that the Lord today wants to clean you out and fill you up because there is a prophetic promise over this generation today and as we sing and as we worship chains are going to begin to fall off of you if you're in this room today maybe you have the the little liquor bottles in your purse in your bag bring them to the altar therefore there is no condemnation anything in you that might feel guilt or shame that is not of God that is not what this church is about that's not what anything that is going to cover you and guilt and shame is not of God he says it's my loving kindness it's his loving kindness that is drawing you to repentance he's been waiting on you and if that's you if you're in this room today one I want to call people forward who need deliverance and who want to be filled back up specifically filled back up with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues a Heavenly language and two I want to call the young people down I want us to spend some time in these altars go ahead and step out of your seat right now that's you there's no mistake about it you know I'm not speaking to somebody else I'm talking to you today this is your fork in the road Choose You whom this day you will serve salvation is here peace is here Joy is here and he will fill you up until you overflow there are people who are waiting for you to respond to come down and get what he has called and planned for your life so that others may be saved come and accept his peace accept his Joy keep coming there's room make room there's always room at the altar for all of you and as we're praying and as we're fasting fasting if you are a Believer if you are Spirit-filled in this room begin to pray because people are coming from Death To Life they're coming out of a grave and stepping into all that God has called them to do they're being set free from addictions to nicotine prescription drugs I speak right now to a spirit that has held someone Bound in this room of self harm come today and you'll never harm yourself again he has good plans for you plans for a future he loves you he's seen you not for one second has he taken his eyes off you and you hurting and cutting and burning yourself is not the plan of God over your life if somebody has struggled with thoughts of suicide come today and he will break it off your mind completely you will be set free I'm not speaking out of something I don't know about he's done it for me he'll do it for you he's the same God he's not struggling with your addiction he's not mad at you you're not an inconvenience for him he loves you he loves you he loves you he loves you prayer team let's pray over each and every one of them we're not in a hurry today Church we're going into the final week of our fast and so if you're in this room pray pray right now for
