amen we got anybody that came to worship the lord in this tent tonight amen shout to the lord in this house hallelujah i came to worship god in this chili tent amen praise god well you can be seated if you can amen place is still filling up i like wednesdays around here it's exciting wow this is a blessing praise the lord if you're glad to be here shout amen that song said raise the hallelujah so raise a good one right now shout hallelujah amen well i'm glad you're here and uh give a good clap to our online crowd we always like to welcome them into the house we love you guys thank you for watching thank you for sharing thank you for being here it's been a good week it's been an interesting week it's been a media infused week but that's been a blessing i found out today this is beautiful i'm gonna deal with this on friday i'm gonna do a little live video have you seen them uh those ridiculous signs around town says sleep in on sunday don't worry about the afterlife i had no idea until i saw the news article today that those signs were put up for our church and for kent christmas church i had no idea and so it says you need to stay home you need to ignore those two bozos i ignored their signs so they involved us amen so i'm gonna make a big deal about it on friday to have myself a good time amen that's gonna be fun at least we got the atheist attention they're a little bit mad freedom from religion foundation i thought it was funny they called us tennessee mega pastors whatever a mega pastor is right i serve a mega god i mean i'm just a mini pastor so we're going to have fun with that and that was good and of course the vice piece dropped this week that was super interesting so i'm like this is the q anon church of all q anon churches right here according to what they say and that that was been interesting so it's been fun this week it's been good we just weighed through all of that and people say why in the world you let these people keep showing up because we ain't got one thing to hide but we have a message about jesus to preach that's why amen and so we'll utilize every avenue and platform we possibly can because as they've said tonight even singing what the enemy means for evil god means for good he'll turn the whole thing around and he'll use controversy to draw people to jesus christ and so we'll we'll take that that'll be all right we'll take a few black eyes so jesus can be crowned amen and so praise the lord thank you for being here tonight i'm excited about what the lord's gonna do our midst and we finally got our printer issue fixed and so we got a lot of prayer requests to scatter around and to kneel and to stand and to pray for and to worship the lord and we love our wednesday night prayer service amen we never like to rush it and we we get here because we believe everything we're watching god do on this campus especially on weekends on sunday is really just an outcropping and outgrowth of the prayer time that we have on wednesday night and so it's powerful i believe the lord is going to lead us into more of that not just on wednesday night i believe we have prayer meetings going to be cropping up i believe revival is going to continue to flow and many of you know that my wife and i in a couple weeks going to get away for a few days just for a time of of praying we're just going to turn the phones off and just go to the prayer mountain there in monravian falls north carolina and just spend time in god's presence to see what comes next because i'm here to tell you something comes next amen god's not done with what he's doing on this campus on this hill in this nation he has not done he's not done we're going to hear a little bit about that tonight i'm sure and i'm super excited to get a word myself tonight sometimes you know i give and give and give and give but like an atm machine you got to have a replenishing system so you can still give out you know the bible says that when the woman with the issue of blood in mark chapter 5 touched jesus it says immediately he felt virtue power flow forth from him and i'm telling you power is drained from you when you work with people when you minister and as a parent as a as a spouse and as a worker as a minister people drain you that's not a bad thing it's just a life principle and if you don't refill you're going to go bankrupt right so i'm looking forward to getting a good word from the lord tonight our students jesse said our students are going to stay in tonight and so they can hear a word amen from gilad tonight and that's going to be a blessing so i don't want them to miss out on that but we are going to have a time of prayer so here's what we're going to do i'm going to have my wife and my daughter come and they have the prayer requests and they're going to to pass them out if you're new to the format some of you might be it's doubtful that you haven't watched us before you showed up and so you know that on wednesday nights we have people just come and stand in line and we give out the prayer requests i'm going to go ahead and ask before we do that that some of our prayer team members just come right up here to my right your left we're going to pray over people pray for people lay hands on people look if you walked in here tonight with a burden it's your fault if you walk out with the same one because there are plenty of people here that want to help bear your burden they want to pray with you pray over you pray for you and just pray the good things of god into your life sometimes you just need some encouragement maybe you're having some real marital struggles okay you don't have to go into a bunch of detail because the holy spirit knows the detail but maybe you need to come for prayer maybe you got a financial instability maybe you're facing a bankruptcy maybe it's a job situation maybe you look like you're about to get the boot or the pink slip because of this jab nonsense maybe you just need to come and pray and just get some real courage and fight fear in this situation maybe it's just something in your body maybe it's some sickness some ailment maybe you have a wayward kid you know we've said so many times this is the day of the prodigals to return home in this season i believe god's going to draw prodigals back to his house back to his body back to the church and some of you need to get serious and maybe you don't need to pray with somebody somebody need to get serious enough for your kids and your grandkids and come and get on your knees and get on your face tonight or stand at this platform and lift your hands to heaven and worship and just believe by faith that god's gonna bring that prodigal back to the front porch of his house amen and when they do you don't berate them and you don't beat them down it's enough they repent and come home and you love them and you restore them and you have the compassion of the father and so many of you tonight just need to come and pray about that so if you if you just want to pray for yourself or your family or your marriage and not even grab a card then we ask that you are certainly willing and able to do that tonight but for many of you i want you to be able to to pray and get prayed for but i want you right now all over this room if you need to be prayed for you step right over here but if you'll come and grab these cards from my wife and my daughter i want you to come lift these names up to the lord out loud god can hear us all at one time for the hundreds yeah the thousands of people that are watching online right now just begin to put your prayer requests right there on facebook and youtube and our other streaming platforms just drop them right there in the comment section somebody will pray for you if need be somebody will further reach out to you but let's have a time of prayer both in this tent and literally around the world may this be a house of prayer a bastion of prayer tonight and so grab these requests get multiple requests if we run out we need to pass them around our ushers can help with that you just hold them up when you're done if you want a prayer request in your seat and slip your hand up one of our ushers will bring you one but again if you just want somebody to pray you just skip the line just come all the way around just come up front and let somebody pray over you tonight let somebody pray with you tonight pray for you tonight encourage you tonight some of you just need to get something from the lord i know it's been a long week for some of you been a discouraging week for some of you battles at work battles at home fighting with people some of you need to come tonight be released you need to get some give some forgiveness to somebody release some of that anger some of that bitterness some of that stuff that's clogging up the the joy hoes in your life kinking it up come on the line release that stuff ((music playing)) so ((music playing)) ((music playing)) so ((music playing)) ((music playing)) i hallelujah ((music playing)) all over the room people praying people being prayed for people being prayed with don't miss this chance to enter into his presence and i don't miss it might be different for some of you don't miss it most important thing we do press into his presence tonight come on hundreds and hundreds of people all over the world entrust us with their prayer requests we don't take that lightly we pray for them every week multiple times every week ((music playing)) uh ((music playing)) father lord we enter into your throne room of grace tonight god and we just bring our praise and our thanksgiving to you father because you are a good good father ((music playing)) lord as every week we get to gather here together as your church as your bride and lord we get to bear each other's burdens and so fulfill the law of christ and god we thank you for that opportunity that you have given us each and every week no doubt there's tons of requests going in through the comment section right now and father we just lift all of those requests up to you because lord we know that you know our needs before we can even ask them or thank them because you're the god of yesterday today and forever and lord we thank you for that truth we thank you that no matter where we go you have already been there you go before us father you prepare a way for us lord tonight as we come before you no doubt there's a lot of burdens here represented in this place so lord tonight we just plead the blood of jesus lord we plead healing and restoration in this place tonight father lord we know that there is power in the blood of the lord jesus lord we thank you for that sweet sweet name the savior of the world the lamb slain before the foundation of the world we are seated up high in heavenly places with him ((music playing)) that's a beautiful truth for us to hold on to there's so many different ways that we can find ourselves lost in this world but lord we have a faith that cannot be shaken because we know who we belong to we know that you have called us chosen and worthy lord tonight would we be reminded of who we are in you because there are times that we feel like we are not enough but lord it is in our weakness that you are made lord we see your perfection in our weaknesses and lord if there is any here that is struggling father lord would they be reminded tonight that perfect love cast out fear so god tonight would we fill your purpose your perfect love surround us all around us father and within us would we be reminded of how much we are loved by the father that there is grace and mercy where you are lord tonight we pray for the wayward for the prodigals to come home father we are in a time that you are dropping scales from the eyes of men so lord tonight would those scales be dropped from your children's eyes father lord that we would be aware and awakened to what is going on lord that we would be moved by the spirit of the lord that we would discern what you are doing in this time father lord that we could no longer turn a blind eye to what is going on but father that we would live lives that are righteous and pleasing to you lord lord your word says i counsel thee to buy of me gold tried by the fire lord would we be a church that is willing to be tried by fire god you are purifying your bride that we would be without spot for your return so father purify us sanctify us father lord change us and convict us and above all tonight lord would you send your peace that passes all understanding and be glorified in this place in the name that is above every name the lord jesus we pray amen ((music playing)) ((music playing)) you know i was up here and i i watched my son come up and grab a card and my my grandmother did not raise my mother to love jesus but my mother raised me to love jesus and i'm raising my children to love jesus and while the devil brings generational curses jesus christ brings generational blessings and the bible says if you raise your children up in the way they should go then when they are older they will not depart and i don't know where you are in that spectrum of his promise but his promises are good and his word is true and he is faithful so tonight we're just going to sing about his promises god would you look upon us would you turn your face towards us tonight we're going to sing for our children for our children's children ((music playing)) father we worship you in this place we bless your name we thank you for your promises we thank you for your promise ((music playing)) he's in this place this evening can you feel him how can you feel ((music playing)) lord bless you and keep you make his face

playing)) be maybe you and a thousand generations and your family and your children and their children and their children may his presence ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) ((music playing)) ((music playing)) i don't think it's by accident that brother jesse and miss brittany left the kids in here tonight listen as a mom i can tell you something that i know for certain there is a demonic force that is after our children in this generation and as parents as children of the most high god that have the responsibility to train up our children in the way that they should go every parent in this tent should be on their face before a holy god right now crying out to the holy one that sits on the throne room of heaven that this curse would be broken from our children they are living in a time of confusion it is chaotic they have an identity crisis they don't even know who they are and we sit back and we come to church and we're just like leaving it up to the church to raise our children for us and shame on us as parents shame on us as parents there is no reason that every parent under this tent right now should not have your hands over the top of your children's head crying out to god because we have turned our children over to a wicked generation and i'm here to tell you tonight parents that it is time that we take back the authority that we have in the lord jesus christ that we walk like we are children of the most high god that we have been given power from on high to trample on demons in this earth and that we can take back our children for the glory of god amen father god we come to you right now lord and we break every darkest psalmist and against our children god god would you move in this place tonight father lord if there is any stronghold if there is any addiction if there is any identity crisis in this place tonight god would it be broken by the blood of jesus christ lord we glorify you in this place god you are the name above all names god you are seated on the throne room of heaven god lord you have the victory father we claim victory over our children tonight lord we will snatch them back from this demonic force that has tried to take it from us rather because god we will stand on your word we will stand on your authority god god we plead the blood of jesus on our children in this place god lord we surrender them at your feet lord lord would you move lord would you move lord would you move in their life in jesus name amen ((music playing)) ((applause)) ((music playing)) generations and your family ((music playing)) behind you ((music playing)) is ((music playing)) hey ((music playing)) ah ((music playing)) hey ((music playing)) ((music playing)) lord bless you and keep you make his face shine upon and be gracious to ((music playing)) face toward you and give you peace the lord bless you and keep you make his face shine be gracious ((music playing)) you peace hallelujah hallelujah amen i like a service when you don't know what to do next amen the lord just moves and moves in and the devil moves out hallelujah don't take midweek service for granted folks i'm telling you there's power here i know everybody loves the the crowds and the excitement and the pizzazz and all of that on sundays but i'm telling you there's something special that happens during the week under this tent and i thank god for it it's a blessing we had a family and this has happened a few times but it just it happened to me this past weekend they they came by on saturday and they were from out of town as so many hundreds of people it's it's a miracle of god that we have about 500 first-time visitors every single weekend without fail and they're always different can you imagine if they all moved here but uh some people came up they asked permission can we go on the ten i said absolutely you go in the tent pray jump around sing dance preach whatever you want to and so we were coming out of the office and i was walking up the road and uh they walked out and i said well what'd you think about it and i'll never forget what the lady said she said even when the tent is empty it's full she said there is such an atmosphere and a presence that has just baked in to what god is doing there and i thought wow that is certainly indicative of what we want the lord to do even when the tent is empty it's full that's a blessing amen listen there's nothing spooktacular about that statement that is real where god's presence went in the bible he burned the places right when his presence settled on top of the mountain he scorched the mountain everywhere he went that was something about the tangible presence of god and as we taught a couple of weeks ago we understand the fact that god has a divine presence everywhere at once but there's only a few times in your life that you'll experience the manifest presence of god and that's what we long for we long to see god do more than we've ever seen before for his glory not for ours and i believe the lord is beginning to pour out his spirit amongst us and i thank the lord for that well tonight i'm excited because you know that so often i mean just about every single service i never miss one but i'm always preaching and even sunday like when we had mark burns by the way didn't you enjoy pastor mark burns wasn't he a blessing man he's a hoot amen he is a joy to be i love him he loved our church and uh so thank you for treating him so graciously and kindly but even when we have somebody on sunday i still always preach because as a shepherd i believe that's my obligation i love to teach the word and 99.9 of the time i'm preaching on wednesdays as well but i felt led the other day when i when i found out that gilad was going to be back in the states because of actually a death in north carolina over his grandmother and he was going to be around for a couple of weeks i said you know what i really i just want him to pray and i want him to deliver to us a word because so often he's been such an encouragement to my wife and i to our staff to our church to our team i know we've we've blessed them and we're going to bless them on november the 7th for our 15 year anniversary because how many believe when you give to the things that god's heart loves amen like the nation of israel and thank god for those israeli flags i saw flying around here a moment ago and so i know god's going to turn to speak it on more than we could ever imagine but you have to recognize the fact that he has been a great encouragement to us they have fought for us in prayer and they fought for us in many ways but they have labored in prayer and intercession for us many many many many many many hours over the time that we have known each other and so i said you know what god just turn loose on our folks tonight amen you got full liberty global vision i want you to stand to your feet and i want you to invite to the platform god's friend your friend my friend gilad rossinger god bless you my brother we love you man of god appreciate it hallelujah wow praise the lord my goodness i was wrecked down there i didn't even know if i was going to be able to get up and preach here tonight because the presence of the lord is in this place can we just worship him just for a minute hallelujah lord we bless you tonight we bless you in this place lord you are worthy for all praise hallelujah father you are worthy we love you we honor you we bless you king of glory hallelujah there is power in the name of jesus there is power in the name of yeshua there is power lord we give you honor and praise thank you father for what you're doing in this place lord thank you hallelujah hallelujah my goodness he spoke to me early today you know he highlighted this verse to me he said forget the former things don't dwell on the past for behold i do a new thing and it springs up now that new thing is in this place tonight i feel it i had messages coming in from intercessors from pastors from leaders they said we don't know what is going on but we feel a shift in the atmosphere we feel a shift in the nation something broke there have been prayer meetings around the clock and i want to tell you there is power in prayer there is power and praise and the lord is not done with this nation we are going to see such a move of god it is going to blow our minds i tell you what i am fired up they might have to drag me off of the stage tonight because i'm full i was just in my apartment uh tonight i got this airbnb here i didn't go anywhere except to get something to eat i was just worshiping all day long sitting in the presence of the lord because you know what myself included greg mentioned that he said you know many are battle where you know we give and we give and we're fighting and we're contending and listen the spiritual war is for real it's no joke ((music playing)) but god promised to give us the victory and when we spend that time in the secret place when we spend that time worshiping him we get filled up so we can release what he has in this hour and before i get into my message i just want to give you a quick testimony about my dear friend pastor greg locke and this is going to tie right into the message because there is a pandemic in this nation in the world and in the body of christ and it's the pandemic of fear it is a pandemic of fear a demonic spirit of fear that has literally been loosed into the atmosphere but god did not give us a spirit of fear but of power love and a sound mind and i want to talk to you real quick about one of the types of fear that i believe has assaulted the body of christ in this hour the fear of man the word of god says cursed is the one that trusts in man but blessed is the one who trusts in the lord now we had an amazing divine appointment god ordained this meeting with pastor greg and tyle never forget it it was so blessed and um i remember leaving that meeting like man god really moved that was powerful something happened here and you know what happens when god ordains a divine appointment a friendship he gives you a word a promise how many you know the enemy comes right away to steal that promise to steal that word to test it and you know what you know i shared i was like i was on the podcast with greg and my friend and i'll never forget it you know most people really support it they love greg but you know what there were some haters out there there were some haters and there's some leaders and they were messaging me like do you know what he said do you know what he did do you know you shouldn't have anything to do with this guy you know i'm telling you people were like really going at it and i did what i always do i prayed i said lord hold on hold on hold on this was an amazing divine appointment god i see your spirit was there i saw you moving i saw you work i know you set that up i didn't set up that meeting you did so i fasted three days and the lord spoke to me you know what he said he said you gonna listen to man are you gonna listen to me that's what god told me he said i want you to stand with pastor greg locke it doesn't matter what opposition comes i don't work for man i work for the lord all the haters that are watching you know online let me tell you something you don't have to like greg you don't have to agree with everything he says but this man is anointed of the lord for such a time as this this man is anointed of the lord for such a time as this ((applause)) the lord says touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm now i'm here to tell you the lord will allow some warfare and some persecution for a period of time to produce the gold to bring the impurities to the surface because we're all in a process of sanctification but the lord will only allow it to go on for so long so i'm just letting you know beware before you speak against the lord's anointed the lord is preparing a table for greg and ty and the whole global vision church and online community in the presence of your enemies the lord is preparing a table for you in the presence of your enemies the devil is a liar now let me give you a couple examples about what god has done here and i want you to take what i'm saying in these examples and apply them to your life just take the situation because we all have them the devil said to greg locke to global vision to the church in america he said i'm going to shut you down god said i'm going to enlarge the place of your tent i'm going to stretch out your tabernacle curtains you're going to spread to the right and to the left hallelujah look at this tent look at this tent look what god did in this place look at what god did in this place the devil is a liar he's a liar last time i was here i was down there in a smaller tent i prophesied this the lord gave me this word isaiah 54 2-3 it came to pass in months the devil said i'm going to shut you down god said i'm going to raise you up the devil said i'm gonna shut your mouth god said i'm gonna amplify your voice in this nation it does not matter what the devil says ultimately it matters what god does ((applause)) we are right now right now in a place this is a testimony that god's word is true we are living in a promise so the devil assaults us you know he assaults your mind he assaults you he lies but god brings the victory he brings the victory the greater the battle the greater the victory sometimes we got to fight some tough battles but that victory is going to be sweet it's going to be beautiful i'm here to tell you what i'm fired up you're going to have to drag me off the stage tonight let me share with you real quick a couple things the lord he always does something prophetic before i come to america it's really amazing and this was actually very unusual i was sitting outside my house and my wife was praying for me before i left and we were praying and she was praying and all of a sudden we felt this evil presence just right really pat like strong and we just both stopped we looked up we saw this woman walking outside of our house putting her hand like this we were both like man that's a witch that's a witch i went out walked right behind her i saw she's walking her dog i just walked up to her i said excuse me ma'am uh were you just putting your hand uh over my house there she was startled i'm telling you the angels that were with me really started her demons she was like she didn't know what to say she was like uh what house which one uh which one because what happens is darkness it only has power when it's not exposed to the light and so you know what that curse that spell it had power until i confronted it until i brought the light up in there and stood up and said hey i have authority here over you and you know i was nice i was nice to her but god did something really amazing uh in this encounter it was really powerful because you see we we've been battling witchcraft for quite some time in this area and we knew you know man there's some witches here they're for real doing some spells and stuff and we've been praying for a long time lord expose this expose it and you know what at first it's uncomfortable that confrontation is not comfortable but you know what that was god answering our prayers he exposed the witch that we have been praying for him to expose i asked her name i know where she lives her curses aren't going to work anymore her spells aren't going to work because the angels are there we're praying we're covering it and you know but something amazing happened in that moment as i was talking to this person i realized man like she's just a little old lady she she had a brace on her leg she was in pain she was talking about how miserable she was i don't like it here i you know i'm and the lord began to give me this compassion and i began to like my heart softened and i was like man it's for real you know our battle is not against flesh and blood it's against the principalities the powers the rulers of darkness in high places and so we cannot tolerate the spirit we cannot tolerate it we take authority over it we demolish it we bind it no mercy but for the person compassion mercy you know jesus said yeshua said pray for those who persecute you pray for them amen and the lord really touched my heart and you know we know that we are preparing for a great harvest a mighty powerful end time harvest this is all about souls it's all about souls everything you see happening here they could call it one thing you know they could make it look like one thing make no mistake about it this is about souls ((applause)) i was in a time of prayer today as i was praying about this and the lord gave me a vision i i really saw this really strongly and what i saw was a line of witches and warlocks that were like i mean as far as i could see and it was like they were guarding they were trying to prevent the body of christ from reaching the harvest the souls and i was like what are you showing me here lord and he said just like the worshipers go out before the army these witches and warlocks go out before the demonic army they're on the front lines they're protecting this harvest so the lord gave some strategy and i believe that as we begin to pray as we begin to take authority to bind these curses to break these curses and to pray for their salvation i believe the lord showed me some of these very witches and warlocks are going to be the first ones to come into the kingdom for the glory of god hallelujah can you imagine raiding that enemy force raiding it hallelujah glory to god i'm going to pray right into that and then i'm going to get into this word here from second chronicles 20 that really highlights the power in the victory that god gives us when we have faith so father i just thank you right now that even as we get ready father to worship you and to hear the word of the lord father that you are doing a new thing in this hour father we believe that your word is yes and amen lord it says in your word behold i have given you authority to trample on scorpions and serpents and nothing by any means shall harm you whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven so father right now as ty prayed earlier lord we come into agreement with this word we bind every curse every spell all witchcraft all sorcery every demonic force father that has come against this church against the body of christ against our families our loved ones our ministries our homes our schools father this day we take you at your word we believe what you say and we demolish every stronghold every thought every imagination that would raise itself up against the knowledge of christ in the mighty name of yeshua if you believe that say amen amen hallelujah i believe we're going to have one big battle coming up actually ty prophesied this last time we were talking last summer when i was here and we're going to see a massive victory i believe that the lord is going to show up and we're going to see a powerful shift in this nation and in the body of christ in second chronicles 20 the lord gives an amazing testimony to the blueprints to winning the battle the battle belongs to the lord and so i'm gonna i'm gonna spend some time reading this text because the word of god is alive it's active it's sharper than a double-edged sword sometimes we need to get back into the word to remember that this word is alive it's alive you know many of us i'm guilty too we got tired because we got distracted we started looking at how big the enemy was looking at his taunts looking at how hopeless the situation was but we need to realign recalibrate into the word of god so i want to read here from second chronicles 20 after this the moabites and amorites with some of the mayunites whatever you want to call that word came to wage war against jehoshaphat some people came and told jehoshaphat a vast army is coming against you from edom from the other side of the dead sea it is already in hazyon tamar that is en gedi now alarm jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the lord and he proclaimed a fast for all of judah notice what he does the first thing jehoshaphat does is declare a fast whenever we're in trouble whenever we don't know what to do whenever there's a situation the smart wise thing to do according to the bible is to declare fast the people of judah came together to seek help from the lord indeed they came from every town in judah then jehoshaphat stood up in the assembly of judah and jerusalem at the temple and he said lord the god of our ancestors are you not the god who is in heaven you rule over all kingdoms of the nations power and might are in your hand and no one can withstand you can't say that again no one can withstand you hallelujah our god did you not drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people israel and give it forever to the descendants of abraham your friend they have lived in it and have built in it a sanctuary for your name saying if calamity comes upon us whether the sword of judgment or plague or famine we will stand in your presence before this temple that bears your name and will cry out to you in our distress and you will hear us and save us glory to god but now here are men from amon from moab and mount zaire whose territory you would not allow israel to invade when they came from egypt so they turned away from them and did not destroy them see how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession that you gave us as an inheritance you have an inheritance that devil wants to steal your inheritance he's coming against our inheritance he's coming against our children our freedoms our liberties our health god's not going to allow it but we must remember who we are and put god in remembrance to his word and this is what we're going to see that king jehoshaphat does here our god will you not judge them for we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us we don't even know what to do but our eyes are on you the body of christ for too long has put our eyes on the enemy on the media on his threats on his lies same thing happened with the army of israel when king david rolled up goliath was there taunting the armies of the living god and they were scared they didn't know what to do because they were sitting there all day long just looking at this giant that says i'm going to kill you i'm going to kill you i'm going to kill you well david didn't see any of that he wasn't looking at goliath he was out in the shepherd shepherding his flock he rolled up he was singing praises to the lord he was focusing on god he came up and he said who is this uncircumcised philistine who is this this is what we need to do as the kingdom army as the body of christ is keep our eyes focused on the lord all the men of judah with their wives and children and little ones they stood there before the lord then the spirit of the lord came on jehaziel son of zechariah a levite the descendant of asaph as he stood on the assembly what happens it wasn't man the spirit of the living god came upon him the lord himself said this through him he said listen king jehoshaphat and all you who live in judah and jerusalem this is what the lord says to you do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army for the battle is not yours it is the lord's this battle that we're facing in this nation it's not our battle it's god's battle and he is going to be victorious in this battle tomorrow march down against them they will be climbing up by the passive seas and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the desert you will not even have to fight in this battle take up your positions stand firm and see the deliverance the lord your god will give you ((applause)) judah in jerusalem do not be afraid do not be discouraged go out and face them tomorrow face them and the lord will be with you jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground and all the people of judah and jerusalem fell down in worship before the lord they didn't win the battle yet all they had was the word of the lord it was enough it was done it was done when the lord says it it's over they began to worship him and praise him and that is what we need to remember during the battle when we're facing the fire and the storm and the attacks it's already done we just need to praise the lord for it can i get an amen in here hallelujah early in the morning they left for the desert of tekoa as they set out jehoshaphat stood and said listen to me judah and people of jerusalem have faith in the lord your god and you will be upheld have faith in his prophets and you will be successful you see what had happened was the word of the lord the spirit of the living god came upon a man and the man spoke the word of the lord now he's encouraging them and he say just believe the word of the lord believe the prophets and you will be successful we must not despise prophecy too many nowadays they're just mocking prophecy the word of god is very clear do not mock prophecy after consulting the people jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the lord and praise him for his splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army saying give thanks to the lord for his love endures forever listen he didn't he didn't put his strongest people at the front he didn't put the navy seals up front he brought the worshipers up front and they began to praise the lord they begin to thank the lord they begin to worship the lord and say hallelujah glory and honor and power belong to our god hallelujah he gave us the victory as they began to sing in praise listen to this unless absolutely amazing as they began to sing in praise the lord set ambushes against the men of aemon and moab and mount seer who were invading judah and they were defeated come on somebody are you serious they didn't even raise a sword they worshipped the lord and god defeated their enemies before they even got to the battlefield come on somebody hallelujah hallelujah oh i love it thank you lord thank you lord the ammonites and moabites rose up against the men from mount here to destroy and annihilate them after they finished slaughtering the men they helped destroy one another what happened they turned against each other i'm here to tell you today i'm here to decree today there is confusion that is being loosed into the enemy's camp right now in the name of jesus in the name of yeshua we lose confusion into the enemy's camp right now we raise the hallelujah we're saying we're victorious before we even go to battle our god is bigger than any force on earth he is the king of kings and lord of lords and he has already given us the victory we're already victorious hallelujah hallelujah ((applause)) thank you lord blessed be the name of the lord i'm almost done here with the text so jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder and they found among them a great amount of equipment and clothing and articles of value more than they could take away there was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it ((applause)) i'm just saying i mean god did it it sounds to me in this text that god took the wealth of the wicked and he laid it up for the righteous and the righteous didn't even have to do anything they just had to praise the lord believe the lord and go and collect the spoils come on there's a divine recompense being released on the body of christ i'm here to tell you there is going to be such a reward and a recompense for those faithful men and women of god who stood the line who didn't give up who didn't bow down who rose up and said i'm not going to bow down to this antichrist spirit i am not going to submit to this tyranny i am not gonna bow down i am not gonna worship this golden idol i am not going to be forced to do something to my body that i don't believe in come on somebody hallelujah hallelujah i'm here to tell you i am here to tell you there is a reason that god allowed this to happen now his ways are higher than our ways his ways are mysterious his timing is beyond us we don't understand everything about him because he's so vast he's so powerful he's so mighty he knows everything but i'll tell you what when he says it he's going to do it you better believe it if he said it he's going to do it then led by jehoshaphat all the men of judah and jerusalem returned joyfully to jerusalem they returned joyfully for the lord had given them cause to rejoice over their enemies lord give us cause to rejoice over our enemies hallelujah they entered jerusalem and went to the temple of the lord with harps and liars and trumpets the fear of god now listen to this i love this so they went to battle they didn't even have to fight they won they got all the plunder then they go singing praise and worshiping the lord back to their country god fought for them and what happens all the nations around them all their enemies became terrified because they saw that god is with the nation of israel god is with the body of christ god is with us and if he is with us who can be against us if god be for us who can be against us hallelujah the fear of god came on all the surrounding kingdoms when they heard how the lord had fought against the enemies of israel and the kingdom of jehoshaphat was at peace for his god had given him rest on every side the lord really placed this chapter on my heart today and i want to encourage you because many of the saints are battle weary in this hour i was one of them i'm telling you up until a week ago i was tired i

authority if the word of god says he gave us authority he means he gave us authority now listen rise up in your authority rise up in your authority the book of ephesians paul says that same spirit
