Transcripts

Speaker:

In today's video, I want to give a quick recap of what we are talking about, give you

tools that you can fight with.

2

:

And three, I want to give you a prayer at the end to break off chains in Jesus name.

3

:

Your response to the video, the God behind scrolling was incredible.

4

:

It started to go viral and it brought responses like this in the comment section.

5

:

I cried after watching this.

6

:

Like genuinely, because I've been wasting my life and allowing the many -faced god to

control it.

7

:

Not just when I started scrolling, but pretty much my entire life.

8

:

And it makes so much sense why my family wants me to cut down on my phone usage and

constantly remarks on me always being on my phone.

9

:

Or this comment, dude.

10

:

I was literally disgusted with myself for scrolling like a zombie and being unable to tear

myself away when I came across your video.

11

:

Thank you for shaking me awake.

12

:

Signing off now to be the wife and mother my family needs.

13

:

Pray for me, please.

14

:

And here's my favorite one.

15

:

Seven minutes in and that's enough conviction to turn my phone off and spend time with the

Lord.

16

:

Hallelujah.

17

:

I had no idea that many of you were also struggling with scrolling.

18

:

I was in my prayer time with the Lord and He spoke to me very clearly about the revelation

of this many -faced God behind scrolling.

19

:

And because it impacted so many of you, I sought the Lord again and asked Him, how can I

equip the saints?

20

:

How can I give them tools to defeat this many -faced God?

21

:

So here's a quick clip.

22

:

from the first video to describe and put some context to what we're talking about.

23

:

and chemical imbalance.

24

:

He is jealous of your eyes and wants to flood them with death.

25

:

His job is to blind you and lead you.

26

:

He wants to be your unholy spirit, filling you with dopamine and emotions.

27

:

He rewires how you view reality and continually keeps you far from it.

28

:

The many face God loves when you live life through others, denying your creative

29

:

purpose.

30

:

The many -faced God is the spirit of death.

31

:

It comes in through our eye gates.

32

:

The Bible says that our eyes are like a lamp unto the body and if there is darkness inside

of us, how great the darkness.

33

:

If you haven't watched the first video, it explains all of this super well and I encourage

you to do that.

34

:

But if you have and you want to defeat the many -faced God, the God behind scrolling, I

want to give you some tools right now to do that.

35

:

Tool number one.

36

:

FaceTime with God.

37

:

This might be one of the most simplest of the tools, but is the most important.

38

:

If we have our eyes down or face down focused on our phone, focused on consuming all of

this content in, instead of focusing on the things above, focusing on God and having

39

:

FaceTime relationship with Him, we are cutting ourselves way short.

40

:

The average American only prays for like five minutes a day.

41

:

Five minutes!

42

:

That's it.

43

:

And God is saying, hey, come spend some time with me.

44

:

Here's a verse, Colossians chapter three tells us to set your mind and keep focused

habitually on the things above, the heavenly things, not on the things that are on the

45

:

earth, which have only temporal value.

46

:

God tells us that tongues will fade, prophecy will fade, but what will remain is his love

forever.

47

:

And he's saying, hey,

48

:

Don't focus on these lusts the flesh.

49

:

Don't focus on these passions and these desires that are coming to you, but just focus on

me.

50

:

And by spending time with God and having a prayerful relationship with Him, we can defeat

the many -faced God.

51

:

Tool number two is holding your thoughts captive.

52

:

When you start scrolling and the scroll is now controlling you,

53

:

You need to take those thoughts captive that say, Hey, just one more video.

54

:

after this one or, or when you back out, you see another interesting video and you click

on that.

55

:

And it's this doom scrolling that many of you commented on.

56

:

We need to hold these thoughts captive.

57

:

Second Corinthians chapter 10 verses five tells us that we are destroying sophisticated

arguments in every exalted and proud thing that sets itself

58

:

up against the true knowledge of God and we are taking every thought and purpose captive

to the obedience of Christ.

59

:

So when the many face God comes, the spirit of death, the spirit of distraction comes and

says, just one more video, we take that thought captive and we say, no, I am supposed to

60

:

be focused on the things that are above.

61

:

You will not have my time.

62

:

My life is no longer

63

:

mind and taking those thoughts and holding it to the obedience of Christ.

64

:

And when you catch yourself scrolling, here's three quick questions that you can ask Holy

Spirit.

65

:

What am I avoiding?

66

:

What are you trying to speak to me?

67

:

And what would you like me to do right now?

68

:

One to tool number three, which is boundaries.

69

:

Boundaries are super important to have we need to train and equip ourselves to be ready

for a scenario Before we actually enter into it if you think of a marine or a Navy SEAL

70

:

they train they equip they practice for many many many months if not years before they

actually go into combat so when they get into a certain situation they know how to react

71

:

they have a game plan they know

72

:

what to do when a certain circumstance arises.

73

:

1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 says that,

74

:

and will overcome temptation with joy.

75

:

God is saying, Hey, I have a way out for you.

76

:

You can resist this, resist the devil and he will flee, right?

77

:

But it is very difficult while you are in a circumstance, while you're in a situation to

come up with a game plan.

78

:

But if you set spiritual boundaries before this arises, because you know that the spirit

of death, you know that the many face God is going to

79

:

come knocking again and say, just, just scroll for another hour, two hours, three hours.

80

:

And we need to have a game plan established before the situation happens.

81

:

This way we can defeat the many face God.

82

:

Tool number four is declarative prayer.

83

:

So you can have a prayer of supplication, which is like, God, please come into this

situation and change it.

84

:

Or you could have a prayer of declaration.

85

:

which says, speak to that mountain, I command it to move in Jesus' mighty name.

86

:

2 Corinthians 5 verse 20 says,

87

:

Jesus has deputized us.

88

:

He has given us power and authority.

89

:

It's as if He were making an appeal through us.

90

:

When we say something, it's as if we have the same authority and power that Jesus does.

91

:

Am I saying that we're Jesus?

92

:

No, but I'm saying that it's no longer I who lives, but Him inside of me.

93

:

And when I show up, it's as if

94

:

He shows up and we carry the same authority, the same heaven, the same armies of heaven

are behind us when we speak.

95

:

We know that there is power in the tongue, that there is life and death, cursings and

blessings when we speak.

96

:

And we need to say to the many -faced God, I rebuke you in the mighty name of Jesus.

97

:

You will not have my eyes.

98

:

You will not have my ears.

99

:

You will not have my mind.

100

:

And I command you to go in Jesus' mighty name.

101

:

Tool number five is fasting.

102

:

Fasting is an important thing that we need to have as a practice in our Christian lives.

103

:

Matthew chapter six tells us this, but when you fast, not if you fast, but when you fast,

your father who is in secret will see it and your father who sees what is done in secret

104

:

will reward you.

105

:

Guys, sometimes there are lusts of the flesh.

106

:

Our flesh cannot go with us to heaven.

107

:

It is here for a short time.

108

:

It is here for a good time, not a long time, baby, because it can't go with us.

109

:

So it wants to eat.

110

:

It wants to consume.

111

:

It wants to enjoy many pleasures that the Bible tells us to run away from.

112

:

So sometimes we need to fast.

113

:

We need to put our flesh to civilians

114

:

to the Spirit.

115

:

We need to say, flesh, I'm crucifying you.

116

:

I'm putting off my old man and putting on my new man, which is Christ.

117

:

It's putting on his righteousness.

118

:

And when we fast, God sees that.

119

:

And it's not so that we can gain something, but it's so we can become less and he can

become more.

120

:

We cannot get any more of God, but he can get more of us.

121

:

So let's crucify the flesh.

122

:

Let's tell the spirit of death, the many -faced God to kick dust because we are crucifying

our flesh and we are not allowing the lusts, the passions of the flesh to consume or

123

:

overtake us.

124

:

If we resist the devil, he will flee.

125

:

I want to pray for you that Jesus would break off these chains of addiction.

126

:

I want to pray for you that peace will come.

127

:

So,

128

:

In Jesus mighty name, Father, I ask that you just come to that viewer right now, that you

flood them with light and love from the top of their head to the soles of their feet.

129

:

Devil, I bind you in the mighty name of Jesus.

130

:

I speak to the many -faced God.

131

:

I speak to the spirit of distraction and I cut you off at the root.

132

:

I cancel all assignments over the viewer, over my brother, over my sister right now that

the

133

:

Enemy is trying to kill steal and destroy in their life.

134

:

You will not have them They will have life and life abundantly that is their portion.

135

:

So I break addiction right now.

136

:

I break distraction right now.

137

:

I break the depression right now I break lethargy or Being complacent right now in the

mighty name of Jesus father Whatever the enemy has stolen from them.

138

:

I command it to come back tenfold

139

:

Spirit of distraction you many face God you cannot and will not have them in Jesus mighty

name guys I hope that this video has blessed you and I will catch you on the next one
