Today’s episode focuses on reclaiming what the enemy has stolen—whether it’s health, peace, or prosperity. Carlie Terradez reminds us that while the devil has been trying to steal from believers since the beginning of sin, we have the authority in Christ to take it back. Through Scripture and practical teaching, we explore how recognizing the thief, understanding our spiritual rights, and walking in repentance can open the door to restoration.

This episode encourages you to confidently step into the abundant life Jesus promised. It’s not just hope—it’s your God-given reality.

Welcome to Power Hour where we believe it is God's will for you to be well, I'm your host, Kylie Terradez and this podcast is created from the weekly live streams that I do every Thursday at 1pm Mountain time.

Whether you tune in live or listen later, this message is something that you can receive today.

Let's get started.

Everyone, and welcome to Power Hour.

Man, it's so good to be with you.

Well, this week we're going to be talking about taking back what the devil stole.

And I'm 19 weeks into a 20 week series, 26 week series called the A to Z of Healing.

And today we're on T. T is for take back what the devil stole.

You may have noticed that as we go further into the Alphabet, the way that I use the lettering, it gets a little bit more loose, right?

Because they're just really titled starters, 26 Nuggets that you help you receive your healing.

And, and we're using the Alphabet really just as a, as a starting point for that to just keep us on track.

But T is take back what the devil stole.

So we're going to be getting into this, but let me just say this, we're going to take a moment, we're going to pray before we listen to the word.

Father God, thank you, thank you that you've given us time together today.

Thank you that you've given us the technology to be able to do this, to be able to meet really globally from all over the world, from, from African nations, from Europe, from the Americas, from Asia.

Thank you Lord, that you draw us all together.

Thank you Lord.

Today that you have a word especially for us, that you want it to get into our hearts and transform our hearts and our minds and our bodies and Holy Spirit, we ask you to help us to have ears to hear what you're really saying today and a mind to understand it and a heart to receive it.

In Jesus name.

Amen and amen.

Well, we're going to get into this and I'm excited about this today.

Okay, let me just pull my notes up.

I got, I got kind of notes everywhere at the moment, so bear with me a little bit here.

But you know, this week, this week has been life transforming for Ashley and I.

You know, we watched, we witnessed really someone being martyred for Jesus.

You know, I don't know.

I think this has traveled around the world by now, but the assassination of a man called Charlie Kirk.

He was a believer that stood up for Jesus and he was assassinated on the university campus, not completely unviolently.

Completely unprovoked.

And this, this wasn't a political thing.

This was an evil, a good versus evil thing.

And, you know, the enemy came in and stole the life of a man that was standing up for Jesus and, and speaking that, you know, his biblical principles, speaking, speaking the truth based on biblical principles.

And whichever way the world spins, this, this act of violence was wrong.

It was evil, and it took, it took an innocent man's life.

And I think it's, you know, when you see something like that and the videos of those things kind of make it all around the world.

And, you know, we were just talking with our pastors around the world today.

You know, it's shocking because with, with the media now, with the technology that we have, you know, atrocities like this happen and instantly they are, you know, on everyone's screens all around the world.

And we were talking to passes in, just from, from everywhere, and they were saying that they might not have ever heard the name of the man that was murdered, Charlie Kirk, before, but now they have, and, you know, they've seen the videos and it's just terrible.

You know, this was a young man, 31 years old, with a young family, just, just using words.

That's all he was doing.

And because some people disagreed, they decided to take his life.

You know, and he's, he's not alone.

You know, he's not alone.

There are thousands, maybe, maybe a hundred thousand.

I mean, we're talking about a lot of people around the world that are suffering from atrocities that are, that are martyred for their faith, and we don't hear of all of them.

You know, Charlie Kirk kind of brought this to the, to the forefront.

But there are a lot of our brothers and sisters around the world that are literally perishing because of their beliefs.

They're not violent, they're not.

They're not fighting with, with guns and knives and, and weapons, but they're being, they're being shot, they're being burnt, they're being beheaded because of their, their faith.

Now that's real persecution.

And I think it really just highlights, you know, what, what is at stake in our life today and what's really important.

The reason it's really impacted Ashley and I is because it's just kind of made us like, it's fired us up.

Like, you know what?

We've.

We've got a short time in this world to really make an impact.

A short time to really be the hands and feet of Jesus in this.

We want to make our lives count.

And, you know, sometimes just in the day to day, in the everyday run of life and the challenges and the tragedies and the, the trials that life brings, we can get really caught up in all of those things.

It can occupy our every day.

But to take a moment and, and I think this, this kind of week has been a turning point for many people where they step back.

And I think this, this has made me reevaluate some things.

This has made me realize what's important in my life.

And this has made me realize the value of my faith and the potential cost of that as well, that if somebody, until you're willing to die for something, you're not really living for it.

And I think that's the challenge to us as believers, to live out our faith that is real and to live at our real faith in every area of our life, not just on Sunday when we go to church.

You know, the world is watching and looking for something to die for.

They're looking for someone that believes in something so much that they're willing to die for it, then it must be worth living for.

And I'm here to encourage you today that what we have in Jesus, what we have in Jesus, our faith in Jesus is worth, is worth living and dying for.

It really is that precious.

And if, and it just encouraged me like, Jesus paid such a great price for us to be free.

And you know, Charlie Kirk dying a week ago today, he paid a great price for the, for free speech to get out there.

But you know, Jesus, Jesus paid the price for us to be free in so many areas of our life.

And for us to live at a standard less than what he has paid for us to live at is just a travesty.

It's, it's, it's allowing the enemy to rob from us.

And so today I want to talk about taking back what the devil stole.

You know, the devil has been stealing from believers for far too long.

Since Adam and Eve fell in the, in the Garden of Eden, since they transgressed and gave up their authority, the enemy entered the world and he's been stealing from us.

You know, a thief.

One thing you need to know about the thief is he can only steal what he knows that you already have.

He can't take something from you that doesn't already belong to you.

So I'm going to ask you a question.

In what areas of your life has the enemy been stealing from you?

You know, and it, and it might be, might be in the realm of your health.

I know a lot of people watch Power Hour because They're searching for healing.

And we pray for the sick on here, right?

And we see.

We see healings, we see miracles.

But maybe he's been stealing from you in a different area.

Maybe it's not your health, maybe it's your peace.

Maybe he's been stealing your peace.

Maybe you've been suffering with fear and anxiety and maybe the, you know, the last week's event, the events of the last week have really kind of brought that to the forefront for you.

Or maybe this is just something that's been a lifelong issue for you.

The enemy's been stealing from you.

Maybe he's been stealing from you in the realm of your relationships.

Maybe your marriage has been under attack or your relationships with your kids has been attacked.

You know, maybe he's been stealing from you financially.

He's been literally holding back the resources of the kingdom that should be being deployed in your life.

Maybe he's stealing vision from you, getting you so wound up, so busy with everything, with being distracted by, you know, whatever else is going on that you haven't had time to think and hear from the Lord.

Maybe he's even stealing and interrupting your ability to hear from God.

Maybe your thoughts are so clouded.

He's been stealing from you.

Maybe he's been stealing from you in the realm of joy.

Maybe there's just been so much pain in different areas in your heart, in your body, that he's been stealing joy.

And you can't even.

You can't even enjoy the things, the good things that really are going on in your life, you know, the enemy is a thief.

That's all he does.

He can only steal from you what you already have.

You know, I see people in here that have been stolen from their bit, their.

Their relatives have been stolen from them, taken too early, right?

And they're dealing with grief, you know, but that's what the enemy does.

That's the hallmarks of the enemy.

He brings.

He brings trials and he brings trauma and he brings tragedy.

That's all he has to offer.

But you know what?

He's sneaky.

And the way to catch a thief is by his fingerprints.

And the fingerprints of the enemy.

When we look over our life on the things that have caused those.

Those things I've just mentioned, trials and tragedies, tests, you know, those things, they come from the enemy because God will never tempt you.

He will never tempt you with evil.

Now he's gonna.

He's gonna draw you into place.

And sure, those things, he could through those.

Through those difficulties, he can teach you things.

It doesn't mean he bought the trial.

It doesn't mean he bought the tragedy.

Right?

And a lot of the time God gets blamed for something the enemy did.

The enemy only comes to steal, kill and destroy.

This is one of the scriptures that the, that our ministry is, is found in.

But I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.

You know, if it doesn't look like life and life more abundantly, then it didn't come from God.

Because God only comes to give you life and life more abundantly.

Jesus paid by his death, bury and resurrection, he paid for you to have an abundant life.

You know, we believe in this so much that the, that we've actually put together a whole devotional abundant life, 365 everyday devotional to encourage you, to show, to, to help believers, to see what the abundant life really looks like.

Because it's in the middle of our everyday life that we can lose track of the abundant life.

In the middle of grief, in the middle of the pain, in the middle of the tragedy.

You know, we can be so focused on the fingerprints of the enemy that we, that we, that we draw back, that we withdraw our hearts, withdraw from the very source, the very giver of life that can bring back all those things that the devil stole.

And I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna put it out there.

I know that there are people on here that are going through really difficult things.

And in that moment, you have, you have shrunk back, you have retreated in your heart from God.

Because the pain was so great, the tragedy was so, so, so difficult that rather than running to him, you've run from Him.

And now you found yourself on this downward spiral.

And I just want to encourage you today I have all the compassion in the world for you.

But however hard it is, you know, God is your source.

You know, Jesus is, is your, is your, is your everything.

The Holy Spirit is your comforter, your counselor.

Jesus is your healer.

The Father wants you to come to him today so that he can give you back those very things that the enemy has stolen from you.

You know, God did not bring these difficult things into your life.

Now he can help you through them.

And sure, there are lessons that we can learn.

We can grow through pain, we can go grow through tragedy.

But if we in the midst of that pain and that tragedy shrink back and draw away from God, we're Literally cutting off the source of help in our life.

Run to him.

And it doesn't, if you're angry, okay, it doesn't matter.

He's big enough to take your emotions.

You know, don't let the devil steal from you the very relationship that can bring he, that will bring healing to your body and hope to your soul.

Run to him, Run to the father.

Amen.

Not away from him.

He's gonna, he'll, he'll bring healing for you.

And even if you have got really big emotions right now of whatever you're going through, maybe you're angry at God even tell him, tell him that you're angry at him, right?

Maybe you hate everyone around you.

Maybe you hate yourself and you've got self love and tell him about that.

You know, conversation is so important and we need to be, we need to.

God is not going to reprimand you for having an emotion.

He's there to help you.

And sometimes just unloading your stuff is a really big way to start on a process to healing.

You've got to get it out somewhere because one of the things the enemy likes to do when we're going through tough stuff is to isolate us, to make us withdraw, to keep us in bondage, to make us sick, self destruct, to make us harm ourselves even further.

These are the, these are the fingerprints of the thief.

And you know, to catch a thief, to find out the, the what areas of he, he's been stealing from in our life, just look for his fingerprints because he leaves marks wherever he goes.

He leaves trail of wounded people wherever he goes.

That's how one way, you know, if you've got something going on in your life, you may be asking the question, is this you, God?

Did you do this?

Well, I'm going to tell you categorically if it's sickness and disease, 100% no, you know, good things come from God, bad things come from the devil.

Sickness and disease.

Anything that comes to kill, steal or destroy is only from the devil.

God does not do those things to bring about somehow some greater good in your life.

He can make all things work together for good.

Sure, that's quite different from saying he calls them and so understanding who is it's doing the killing, stealing, destroying, you know, look for the fingerprints and you'll find out really important.

Recognize who the thief is.

Because until we recognize that the, the author of these things is, is the Devil, we get easy to fill, fall into the trap of blaming God.

You know, God is not a child abuser.

God only has Good for you.

He only has good and perfect promises for you.

Every good and perfect thing comes down from our Father of Lights in which there is no shadow of turning is what the book of James says.

God has not changed his mind about you.

There might be some difficult things going on right now.

God did not cause them, and he will help you get out of them and he will lead you into a path of victory.

He can turn things around, but don't shut off the conversation.

Amen.

Run to him, not away from them.

Don't accept lies.

This is really important.

You know, one thing that thieves do is they lie.

It's a characteristic of a thief.

They're liars.

And lying is all that the enemy can do.

He will never speak a word of truth to you.

He will only ever lie.

He only ever has his own agenda in mind.

Some of the lies that maybe we've heard might sound something like this.

This sickness is just my cross to bear.

Have you heard that?

This sickness, you know what?

Must be my thorn in the flesh.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

I don't have time to do a whole teaching today on pool, Son, in the flesh.

But I'm telling you, God did not give you a sickness in order to teach you something.

That is not how this goes.

That is not what God does.

Jesus had a healing ministry and everywhere he went, he was healing people.

Never one time did he say to somebody, you're not good enough.

You.

You haven't, you know, you haven't measured up, you know, and not one time did he say to people, no, you just need to learn to live with this sickness.

Not one time did he just say, you know, this is just going to be your cross to bear.

Not one time.

So important that we understand that.

Not one time did Jesus tell anyone, this is just your cross to bear.

You're going to have to deal with this, you know, you're just going to have to suffer through it.

No, everyone that came to Jesus, every single person that came to Jesus went away.

Well, every person that came into the presence of the Lord and encountered him.

Went away with it with what they came for.

When they came with a pure, when they came with an open heart, when they came with a repentant heart, you know, everyone that Jesus ministered to is sinners.

There wasn't one perfect person that Jesus ministered to.

There wasn't one perfect person that was good enough to somehow earn their healing or their miracle.

You can't earn a miracle or a healing.

They're a free gift.

Jesus paid for you to have them.

But the thief, one of the lies of the thief is he'll come and he'll tell you need to earn this, or how about this, you're not good enough.

He'll tell you all the things you've done wrong because the only thing he knows about you is your past.

He doesn't know your future.

He's not that smart.

Don't buy the lies of the thief.

The only, the only thing that the enemy can do to you is lie.

He's there and, and, you know, at least he's consistent.

I'm giving that right.

He's consistent in lying.

What about this?

Poverty is just my portion.

It's kind of.

You know, many people, many times I talk in the realm of healing and receiving healing, but financial, financial lies are huge.

Maybe you've been born into a family.

The poverty has just become like a curse that you've lived with.

And you know, when you live with something for a long time, when your generations have gone before you have suffered with the same thing, there can be a part of us that just buys into that, like nothing's ever going to change.

This is the way it's going to be.

This, this is it.

This is my lot in life.

No, you know what?

God, God created you brand new the moment that you got born again, you became a brand new creation.

He became a brand new creation.

In Christ, it says, old things have passed away.

Behold, all things have become new.

Second Corinthians, right?

This is so important because it means you have an opportunity to turn things, to turn your heart around, to believe.

You have an opportunity today to believe the word above your circumstances, to change the mark your mind about some of the lies that you previously believed and to believe God maybe for the first time in this area.

In these areas, you have the opportunity to be a turning point in your generation.

This is so huge.

You might be the first believer ever in your family, you might be the first believer ever in your family to say, I'm going to believe the word of God.

I'm going to believe what God says about me.

I'm going to believe that Jesus died for me to be free to live a life that's full of abundance, to live a life where poverty, the, the curse of poverty is broken.

I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna choose to believe that what he says about me is true.

You can change your mind on things.

This is, this is huge.

We don't have to keep listening to the same lies just because Our parents listen to them and our grandparents before us.

We can change it.

We can change our environment of what we believe.

You know, this is a declaration.

I wrote it down.

I wrote down some declarations and you can bootleg these, okay?

But this first one is, I refuse to accept anything from the devil's hand.

I will only receive what God has promised me.

Life and life more abundantly.

That's huge.

You can, you can go back and write that down if you need to or I'll repeat it again.

This is a good declaration.

You know, we are big in our ministry on confessions, and this isn't legalistic.

This is just putting the word of God before you.

Because sometimes we need to hear things more than once and having things written down and saying them out of our mouth.

You know, your, your voice activated.

Your body is far more likely to listen to your words than somebody else is actually, you know, so that's why your self talk is so important.

But when your self talk is only reinforcing things that are lies, your body doesn't know the difference and it's going to, it's going to listen to lies.

But when your self talk is talking the word of God, your body will receive those words as truth because they came out of your mouth and it trusts you more than the voice of another.

So let your words, let your self talk, match up to the word of God about who he says you are and that.

I mean, it'll be hugely powerful, this declaration.

Let me read it again.

I refuse to accept anything from the devil's hand.

You know, he's.

It's like he's offering you something.

You know, if, if he was so obvious and not so subtle, if he was more obvious and like, you know what, here's some poison.

Would you drink it?

You'd be like, no.

But instead he says, here's some doubt and unbelief.

Would you listen to it?

Well, I think I might.

Right.

We subtly take these things in, but refuse to receive anything from the devil's hand.

He says, I will only receive what God has promised life and life abundantly.

I only receive from God.

Right now somebody needs to declare that I only receive from God.

I only receive from God.

I no longer listen.

I no longer receive the lies of the enemy.

I only receive the truth from God.

I don't receive lies from the enemy.

This is a good declaration.

Somebody needs to let that one come out.

Right?

This is really important.

Okay, next thing I've got in here is we need to know our legal rights.

If somebody is Coming against you.

We're talking today, if you're just joining us, about taking back what the devil stole from.

First of all, we've got to know who the thief is.

But then we've got to, you know, once, once we've captured the thief, once we know who the thief is, we have to know our legal rights because the enemy is the accuser of the brethren.

And, you know, I think this is really cool.

We know that one of the names for the enemy is the accuser.

Well, guess what one of the names for the Holy Spirit is.

He's a prosecutor.

He's the defense prosecutor.

And so this is.

This is really interesting.

I don't have time to explain all this.

You're just going to have to believe me.

Right, but the.

The Holy Spirit is our defender.

If we were to be in the court of heaven, the Holy Spirit is our.

Is our legal defense.

The, the enemy is.

Is the illegal accuser.

And when we know what our rights are in Christ, we're going to stand up against those accusations with boldness because we know.

We know we have a legal basis to stand on in a spiritual realm, in a spiritual court of law.

Yes.

Thank you.

Thank you, Jessica.

Advocate.

That's what I'm.

The word I'm looking for.

He's our advocate.

He's going to come out somewhere, you know, and we, we need to know what our legal rights are.

We need to know what our legal rights are in the kingdom of heaven, in the courts of heaven, so that we can stand up to the thief and, and his accusations with boldness.

You know, in Colossians 2, verse 15, it says that Jesus disarmed principalities and powers.

He literally stripped.

When he.

When he rose from the grave, he literally stripped the enemy of any power or authority to harm us.

Now, that's a big statement there, because you might look around in the world and say, yeah, but you know what?

There's a whole lot of violence going on.

The enemy's doing a whole lot of damage.

Yeah, he is.

But the only way that he can have a physical impact in this world is to use people.

So the enemy cannot directly impact the world.

He has to work through people to have a physical presence in this earth.

He doesn't have authority over people.

He has to work through people.

And the way he works through people is to convince them through direct conversation, through their own submission to him or even their own passivity towards him, to.

To give over, to believe, to buy the lies of a thief so that he can come in and steal.

Now, I want to make a statement here that the really.

You know, I probably should have said this before because I think it.

It's really powerful.

And I want to clarify it.

I said that the thief can only steal what you already have.

I want you to imagine this, right?

Imagine, you know, you have a house.

Imagine your home where you're at, right?

And most of us in our communities, wherever we are, would lock our door at night.

But imagine we didn't lock the door at night.

And for some reason, the, you know, the thief came in because our door wasn't locked.

It wasn't.

It wasn't bolted, it wasn't armed.

The alarm wasn't on.

And we were sleeping.

We were caught unawares.

And the thief came in and he started to take things.

He started to rob things from our house.

Maybe television, maybe a couch, maybe some cash out of the drawer, right?

Maybe he starts to take those things out, sneak things out the door when we're sleeping and load them up in his car or whatever he's got and drive away with them.

And when we find out we have an opportunity, oh, my gosh, there's been a thief that's come in through the door.

He's come in and he's taken things from me.

And there's an opportunity there to be afraid.

There's an opportunity there and to lose our peace.

But one thing I want you to see.

Even though the enemy may have caused some damage, he could only take from you what he knows that you already have.

Now, there's a few things here, okay?

First of all, we have the Lord as our armed defense.

The Lord says, I'm the Lord of hosts, the God of angel armies.

That phrase actually means, I'm your armed defense.

We have to.

We have to stay alert.

We have to stay on guard.

We have to make sure we deploy the.

The tools that God has given us to as this protection in this world.

We have to actually lock the door and put the alarm on, spiritually speaking, right?

But even if the enemy did get in, he could only take from you, was already in your house.

That's why he comes to attack us in the realms especially of sickness and disease and peace.

He loves to try and steal those three things.

And also finances, okay?

He loves to try and steal those things, but because he knows that the.

The resurrection of Christ, the atonement of Christ, paid in full for all of those.

The resurrection of Jesus, paid in full for your freedom in all of those areas.

And so the enemy can.

Because he knows he can only come and take what you already have, he's coming to take it.

He's coming.

He's looking for an opportune moment to come and take the things that are already.

You know, the scripture says that we are temples of the Holy Spirit.

So he's trying to get his way into our temple.

And he'll try and do that through various subtle, different means.

Sometimes subtle, sometimes not so sometimes direct assaults.

But, you know, he'll try and sneak in and steal from you what he knows already belongs to you.

If you didn't already have healing on the inside of you because you have Jesus the healer on the inside of you, he wouldn't try and attack you in your flesh.

He wouldn't try and make your body sick because he knows, well, you know, there's no healing in them.

There's nothing to steal.

He wants to steal what you already have.

He wouldn't try and make you have a fear of lack of.

And, and, and, and the.

He wouldn't try to, to attack you and fight you for finances and financial prosperity if you didn't know that part of the provision of the cross was prosperity.

God wants you rich as much as much as he wants you.

Well, right.

That's the scripture right there.

I mean, you could be offended.

But I'm quoting scripture.

God wants you rich and God wants you.

Well, those are two, two areas that the Lord really, really wants to fight people on.

But when we know our legal rights, we can, in the court of heaven, you know, in the spiritual realm, we can say no, we can start to fight back.

You know, in Luke, in Luke 10, verse 19, Jesus said, All authority, authority of all the power of the enemy.

And he gave it to his disciples.

He gave, he gave them power and authority all over all of the works of the enemy.

You know, Jesus came.

One of his fundamental assignments was to destroy the works of the enemy, the plans of the thief, to kill, steal and destroy.

He came to destroy those.

He came to destroy the destroyer.

You know, oftentimes people, they relate to Jesus as their Savior, as their healer, as their friend, as their comforter, whatever, but they don't relate to Jesus the destroyer.

Jesus is harsh.

He's the lion of Judah when it comes to the things that are trying to destroy his kids, right?

And he, you know, he, he will, he was, he doesn't hold back on the lies of the enemy.

He.

His hatred for what the enemy has done in, in this world to God's creation.

I mean, it's, it's furious, right?

That's, that's a furious Love, right there.

You know, in Ephesians 2, verse 6, it says that we're seated with Christ in heavenly places.

When to know what our position is, know our rights, but also know our position is.

Know what our position is in Christ.

We're seated with him in heavenly places.

We've been given all authority of the lies of the enemy, all authority over sickness and disease, all power and authority.

We can rule and reign over them.

That's the, those words, power and authority.

They're talking about Dunamis miracle working power and they're talking about the magistrate, the right to rule and reign over the works of the enemy.

We can put the thief in his place.

We can say, no, you're not going to steal from me anymore.

I refuse to believe you.

I refuse to participate.

I refuse.

We can stand up to him.

I have legal rights in Christ.

The victory is already mine.

I'm seated with him in heavenly places.

You may want to write down some of your own declarations.

What is your declaration to stand up for your own legal rights.

This is mine.

I have legal rights in Christ.

The victory is already mine.

I'm seated with him in heavenly places.

You know, when doubt, when unbelief start to creep in, when you start to wonder, do I really have authority?

Now hang on a minute.

I'm.

See, I'm.

I have legal rights in Christ.

I'm legally within my right.

You know, many times now you might watch an advert on television or whatever and they'll come up, they'll put the small print on the tv, right?

They'll put their terms and conditions actually on the bottom of whatever it is.

That's their, that's their disclaimer.

You know, we need to have a disclaimer on some of the things that are going on in our life because sometimes it looks like we're not winning.

That's when you get your declaration out.

That's when you get your disclaimer out and says, it might not look like it, it might not sound like it, it might not smell like it.

Right now, my body might not feel like it, but I have legal rights.

I have legal rights to healing.

I have legal rights to victory.

The victory is already mine.

I'm seated with him in heavenly places.

You get out your disclaimer and you remind the, you remind the circumstances of your position in Christ.

That's super powerful.

Let me show you something.

There's a, there's a scripture here I want to look at.

And if you were freedom camp meeting last night.

I, I taught this in in at length.

So I'm going to give you a little summary.

Okay?

But going over to Mark, chapter five, this is the story of the.

The demoniacs.

And you know, this is in two of the Gospels, it talks about a single man.

Just in.

In Mark and Luke, it talks about one man.

In Matthew, it talks about two demoniacs.

I do believe it's the same.

It's the same account, actually.

You know, diff.

You read all them all together and they.

There's different emphasis, different more details that come out.

But you know, this, this Mark, chapter four happened after Mark, chapter five.

I know deep revelation right there.

You know, Jesus crossed a lake.

He went through demonic.

He went through a demonic storm.

To get to the other side of the lake.

Not because he just wanted to take a nice little field trip with the disciples, but because there was a.

There was a man or there was men there that he needed to minister to.

And you.

Jesus himself said, I'm only called to the lost sheep of Israel.

And so these men.

And that's.

That's talking about Jews.

It's likely that the reason that Jesus took this perilous journey across the lake with his disciples was because he wanted to minister.

He wanted to set free these Jewish men that were on the other side.

And he says he went to the other side of the sea, to the region, the Gadarenes.

Now, that actual region, the name of the.

The meaning of that word means the reward at the end.

These men were the reward.

Their free lives, their deliverance was the reward at the end that Jesus was going to secure.

And so he came to the other side.

He got out of the boat, and he says immediately, a man with an unclean spirit came out the tombs and met him.

Now this man or these men, they lived among the tombs and no one could constrain them, not even with chains.

In Matthew's account, it says they were extremely fierce.

Okay, so there's a lot of fear that goes with that.

This is one of the things, one of the ways that the enemy tries to come in and steal from us.

He uses fear as a tactic.

He's subtle, and he'll creep in with lies to.

To propagate fear.

Fear is his lifeblood.

And when we cut the fear off, we cut his source of life off.

You know, when we.

When we cut the fear off is usually when we stop listening to the lies.

That's really important.

Fear is a major one, by the way.

So much so I wrote a whole book called Fearless on it.

It's a big topic but it's subtle.

It becomes habitual in our life and we learn to listen to it.

We need to have to unwind that.

So get that book if that's.

If fear is a big issue for you.

But these, these men that were demon possessed were extremely fierce.

Okay?

And they're intimidating.

They were living amongst the tombs.

It says no one could constrain them, not even with chains, because they'd often been bound with chains and shackles and.

But he pulled the chains apart and broke the shackles into pie.

No one could subdue him.

You see, here's the difference between us and the people that we read about here in the scriptures.

We have authority.

They did not.

This act of subduing is something that the, that the Lord gave to mankind at the very beginning.

One of the instructions that God gave to Adam was to go.

Adam, he was go forth and multiply and subdue the earth.

Go forth, multiply and subdue the earth.

Word subdue means to rule and rule and reign, have dominion over the earth.

They were supposed to have dominion over the things of the earth.

Well, you know what?

When they decided to listen to the snake in the Garden of Eden and listen to his lies, they.

They started to put more trust and more confidence in the lies of that enemy than they did in the word of God, in the very words that God gave them.

They decided that that snake, that serpent's words were, were more trustworthy than God's were.

And when they believed him and acted on his instructions rather than God's instruction and took of that fruit and ate it, the one thing they weren't supp.

What they were actually doing.

It wasn't about the fruit.

It wasn't about the fig or the apple, whatever you believe that they ate.

It wasn't about that.

It was about the fact that they put more value in the lie of the enemy than they did in the truth of God's words.

And when they did that, they gave over their ability to subdue and have authority over the things of earth to a serpent.

They gave over that authority in that moment by, by cooperating with the devil, they handed over their authority.

And the same thing happens today.

When people cooperate with the enemy, they give up some of their authority.

There's always a trade off.

When we give up something to the enemy, when we cooperate with him, we are giving away part of our authority.

The very authority that Jesus died to return to mankind.

Remember, he gave his disciples back authority to resist.

But when we cooperate with the enemy, we're giving up part of Our authority because we're, because just through our agreement with the enemy.

And when it's not like we're sitting there saying, oh, you know, devil, come into my life and wreak havoc.

Most people aren't that obvious.

But there's different ways that we start to agree with the enemy.

There's different ways that we start to give up our authority and fail to subdue him.

And we do that every time we listen to a lie, Every time that we buy into something that he has to offer.

Every time that we're passive and we don't stand up when we should be rebuking him.

We're giving, we're giving up a little bit of our authority to him.

And then when we turn around, we try and use our authority.

Sometimes we wonder why it's not been very effective because we already gave up the very thing that we were supposed to use.

This is, this is really important because it traps a lot of people.

They could not subdue this man at the grave.

They could not subdue the.

These, these men that were bound by the enemy because Jesus hadn't yet given these.

These people weren't born again.

They, they had no authority over the enemy.

That is what sets us apart.

Now we have authority, but oftentimes we're just not using it right.

But there's a, there's a reason why.

And they could not subdue him.

It says always night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying and, and cutting himself with stones.

Man, this, this is huge.

These are the character traits of the enemy and how the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy from us.

You know, first of all, he got these, these guys out on their own.

He got these guys out on their own.

And, you know, we, we come to find the reason, one of the reasons I believe that they're out there on their own.

He says that they're living amongst the tombs.

Okay, now, people that live amongst the tombs.

And we know that at the end, if you've read the whole chapter, spoiler alert, Jesus casts out the demons and they go into pigs and the pigs jump off a cliff.

Now, even the pigs knew better than to want to live with demons.

And so they.

That.

There we go.

Pick a side.

That was the first pick aside in scripture.

They threw themselves off the cliff.

They didn't want to live with demons either.

But, you know, there's no other incidences where Jesus cast out demons and they went into an inanimate object or an animal he didn't need.

He didn't need to take them from one person and put them somewhere else.

He just told them, you know, go.

Right?

But this is the only example where they went into another creature.

And, and this is important because it highlighted something.

And Jesus allowed that to happen.

He allowed that to.

That those evil spirits to go into those pigs, right?

And I believe the reason why he allowed those evil spirits to go into those pigs was because he wasn't.

He wasn't just about delivering these individuals.

He was about shutting down something that was an entryway for the thief to come and kill, steal and destro.

And it was gonna.

It was causing greater effects on this community than just these few individuals.

These individuals had opened the doorway to the enemy with some business practices that they were.

They were actually raising pigs.

This very area that Jesus went to was the area where they raised pigs that were used in pagan worship.

Now that means that they were sacrificed to devils.

They were sacrificed the devil.

You know, Jewish people were not supposed to be around pigs.

They were seen.

It's back in the Levitical.

They were unclean.

They should never.

They should never have even been there, okay?

They should never have been involved.

They should have been touching those animals.

They were specifically explicitly told not to.

And, and yet you've got these Jewish guys, I'm presuming they're Jewish because Jesus was only called the lost sheep of Israel.

And Jesus made a special trip to go and deliver them.

And they were out there amongst close, right, close to where all of these pigs were.

These pig farming or pig raising or whatever they're doing, they were very familiar.

And apparently it was a big practice.

It was a very lucrative practice.

So they're out there on the back side of nowhere.

They can't be in the town.

You know, the tombs weren't right there.

They were, they were out there on.

On the edge there.

And they were living amongst the tombs.

They could carry on their unclean practices.

And as they were, you know, they'd.

They had started.

Maybe they started with just searing their conscience.

Maybe they opened the door to the thief coming in because they seared their conscience and they started to.

They started to compromise the word of God in their life.

They started compromise scripture in their life.

They started to let their standards slip.

They started to get, you know, maybe the thought of making money.

The thought of making money with this illegal practice was just so.

It was so lucrative that they couldn't resist it.

And then before they knew it, the only place that they could do this was on the backside of nowhere, where no one was watching.

Isn't that just like the enemy.

Just come on over here and try this, but don't let anyone else see it.

Because one of the plans of the enemy is to separate, to do things, to isolate, to pull people away, to keep people away, to keep things hidden.

You know, the enemy likes to hide.

He'll hide in our hearts if we allow him.

He'll hide behind lies if we allow him.

But nevertheless, the doorway was open to the enemy, to the thief to come in and start his evil practices.

And he didn't.

He didn't just stop there.

These men started to give over their life little by little, more and more to the practice of the enemy.

So they were.

They were so demonized that they were actually living amongst the tombs and talking to the dead and eating the flesh of swines.

And I can prove this to you if you look in Isaiah 65, verse 4.

It prophesies this in the AMPC.

It says, those who sit amongst the tombs trying to talk to the dead and lodge among the secret places of.

Of caves where familiar spirits are thought to dwell.

Who eats the.

The swine's flesh and the broth of the abominable and loathsome things in their vessels.

They were practicing necromancy, which was.

Is talking to the dead.

You know, normal, healthy people don't like to obsess over death.

Normal, healthy people are not fascinated by ghouls and ghosts and witches and speaking to the dead.

That is not what normal, healthy people do, okay?

And I'm just gonna say this, and it's probably gonna offend a lot of people, okay?

Because I know Halloween is coming up.

Don't mess with that crap.

I'm just gonna say it.

Don't mess with it.

It is a doorway to the enemy.

And you say, well, you know, it's an opportunity to evangelize.

You know What?

You got 365 days to do that.

And you don't have to dress up as something creepy to do it.

Don't.

Don't open the doorway to the enemy in that area.

It's not fun dressing up like witches and wizards and making it like, out like it's make believe.

It is a doorway to the enemy.

And don't teach your kids to do that.

Just gonna say that.

You can.

You can love it or hate it, but I'm telling you now, Jesus would not approve.

He loves you, but it's done.

And it's opening yourself up and your family up to the enemy.

I don't care if it's a holiday that you love, okay?

I'M just gonna say my piece.

There you go.

Because this is my live stream.

But these, these guys started out with things that seemed harmless.

They started, you know, they started out and before you know it, they're talking to the dead.

They've invited the power of the enemy into their life.

And it might have started out really subtle, but you know, if you're struggling in, in some areas of your life, you're struggling to get some victory into some areas of your life and you're speaking your words of authority because you know Jesus giving you authority over the things the enemy, and you're not getting results, maybe it's because you've got a doorway somewhere where the enemy is allowed to come in and sit on your couch and take up room in your temple.

And maybe, maybe, just maybe, there's some repentance that could really set you free from that area.

This is huge.

And I know it's not real popular, it's not real popular, but I'm telling you the truth.

Have I become the end of your enemy?

Because I tell you the truth, right?

These guys started, and it was subtle.

The enemy is subtle and you're creeping through things and you'll lie to you and say, oh, this is harmless.

It's just a little bit of fun.

It's harmless.

No, no.

It might look harmless, but the enemy has an assignment attached to it.

Don't eat the candy, right?

Don't, don't swallow the poison, you know, just don't do it.

Just don't do it, okay?

And if, if things are, if you're watching and reading and listening to things that, using fear as entertainment, horror movies or things that are based in witchcraft or I don't care if they're cute little cartoons that are witches and wizards and all that, don't do it because, because it, it's, it looks like he's innocent.

But it, the enemy has a hidden agenda behind it.

If it was just a matter of fact of watching these cute little things and cute little dress ups and whatever, then that would be fine.

But don't be so naive to think that's all it is.

It's a doorway.

It is an entryway.

And you know what?

If, if you are, if you are thinking, hang on a minute, she's, she's touching on some things here.

Just spend some time in prayer.

Ask the Holy Spirit.

You know, one of the jobs of the Holy Spirit is to bring conviction.

He never brings condemnation ever.

But he'll show you a way of escape.

And if you find yourself in, in A trap somewhere.

If you find yourself in a problem somewhere that you just don't seem to be able to get free from, usually it's because there is a demonic hold somewhere.

Okay?

And one of the jobs of the Holy Spirit, he's.

His job is to lead you into all truth.

His job is to lead you into all truth.

And he convicts the world of sin and of righteousness.

Okay?

That's.

These are the jobs.

The Holy Spirit.

So if we're really honest before the Lord and we say, holy Spirit, would you show me?

Would you show me if there are things in my life that shouldn't be there?

Would you show me?

If somewhere I've allowed the thief to creep in the back door of my temple when I was sleeping in the bed, maybe I didn't set the alarm right.

And he snuck in and he put him.

You know, he crept in, made himself comfortable, and.

And now I'm wondering, while I've got stuff going on in my life that is ungodly and I don't seem to be able to get a breakthrough, would you show me?

Would you shine a light on that thing?

Because you know, when you see what it is, and the Holy Spirit's faithful.

He'll tell you.

He'll 100% tell you.

And then the cure is simple.

The cure is repentance.

Repentance is a gift.

It's not a dirty word.

You know, repentance is not about when we go to God and we.

We tell him our sins, and that's the first time he finds out about them.

You know what?

Your sin, all of your sin, whether you even recognize them or not, already forgiven.

They're already forgiven.

Okay?

It's not an issue between you and God.

But one thing that repentance does is repentance shuts the door on the power of the enemy.

Repentance bolts the door of your temple and sets the alarm.

Okay?

This is really important.

And it protects you.

It's a gift of protection.

It really is.

So when the Holy Spirit allow.

We're honest with the Holy Spirit and we allow him to show us areas of our life that maybe we have used.

Kind of to hide behind, maybe we've used them as a crutch.

Maybe.

I don't know.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Whatever vice it is, I don't know, right?

Whatever lie it is, whatever way we.

We've allowed the enemy, knowingly or unknowingly, to creep into our temple and reap havoc, repentance brings it to the place.

When I do, we do, we bolt the door and set the alarm.

But now it brings us into a place of submission to God rather than submission to the enemy.

You know, these men, these, this man here, it says when he saw Jesus.

I'm going back to Mark 5 here.

So Mark 5, verse, verses that 6.

When he saw Jesus afar off, even in his 10 in the state that he was in, completely self mutilating, angry, fierce, right, demonized.

Even in that state state when he saw Jesus, he knew that Jesus was the answer.

And it doesn't matter how big the devil tried to make himself in, in this man's life and how much damage that he had done, he was not powerful enough to stop this man throwing himself at the feet of Jesus.

It does, it doesn't, it doesn't.

The devil just doesn't have that much power.

He doesn't have that much power, okay?

Because understand this, even as a believer, people ask me this question sometimes.

Can believers be demonized?

Well, yes, they can.

Because your spirit, when you get born again, it is the spirit part of you that is sealed, the spirit part of you that is redeemed.

The spirit part of you that becomes the God part of you.

It's the, the nature of God on the inside of you.

All your peace, all your love, all your joy.

I mean, all of the fruits of the spirit, right?

They, all the long suffering, the patience and the self control, that's all in your spirit.

But guess what?

Your body does not have self control.

Your spirit has self control.

Your soul does not have self control.

It has to learn self control from your spirit.

Okay?

Right.

It has to learn joy.

It has to learn peace from your spirit.

It doesn't naturally have that.

So you're, you're.

Even though your spirit is, is sealed by the power of the Holy Spirit, the moment that you get born again, the devil can't touch that.

But your soul isn't redeemed yet.

Your body is just the carcass, it's just the, the covering, right?

The suitcase to travel through life.

But your soul, your mind, it has to be renewed.

Your soul is in a prance, a process of transformation to where we're learning to listen to the voice of our Father rather than listening to the lies of the devil, we're learning about our abundant life and what we have in Christ.

Rather than been listening and allowing the devil to kill, steal and destroy, we're learning what we have.

And then by, by learning what we have, we'll stop being stolen from.

But that's what's going on.

Our soul, our mind, our mind will and emotions is our soul.

We're learning.

That's in process, you know, and as we learn, as we renew our mind in the truth of God's word, God restores our soul.

Psalm 23 says, you know, even though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death, he leads us by still waters.

And he.

It's the Lord who restores our soul.

We can't have a restored soul by ourselves.

You can't have a restored soul by doing self help.

You can't have a restored soul just by doing counseling or therapy or any of these, or taking any of these anti, psychotic, whatever they are.

Drugs, you know, those are tools maybe, but you will not find peace in your soul.

You will not replace the peace that have been stolen from you.

Outside of getting to know the Prince of peace, he's the restorer of your soul.

Huge, right?

Huge.

And these men, as demonized as they were, they, they knew that they had to throw themselves at the feet of Jesus.

This was an act of repentance right here.

There was an act of repentance here.

And because these met, these, these demonized men came and repented before the Lord, they were able to be free.

This is, this is hugely important.

Don't overlook this gift today.

This is a gift and it's one of the ways that we position ourselves for miracles.

It really is.

It's the.

One of the ways we position ourselves.

A miracle and learn how to resist the enemy.

I want to show you this.

This is in.

James 4.

7.

It says, Submit to God, resist the devil and he'll flee from you.

Submit to God, resist the devil and we'll flee from you.

Jesus restored to us through our legal rights.

We have authority over the enemy.

Absolutely is our position in Christ.

We have a legal authority, a right over the enemy.

100%.

But you may be wondering how comes, is, is it that I'm speaking, I'm speaking the truth, I'm speaking the word, I'm commanding, I'm binding, I'm losing, I'm having, I'm taking it.

Nothing's changing, right?

You're speaking all of the right things, but nothing's moving.

Well, you're resisting the enemy.

But if you're resisting the enemy alone and you haven't first submitted to God, it's not going to, it's not going to flow.

Submission is a powerful thing.

And so often through different practices in our life, just like the practices of these men here, we can find ourselves compromising and we can find ourselves and just, I don't know, life's busy, we get distracted.

We, you know, before we know it, we're.

We're drawn away.

Or, you know, we.

We're drawn away to do different things, right?

And just, just for the, just for the simple fact of a shift of attention can be all the enemy uses as his.

As his doorway in.

We got.

We got to make sure that our temple is alarmed and, and the door is locked and we're armed against the enemy.

We got to stay alert.

In these last days, this is so important, right, because the devil is roaming around as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

I don't know about you, but he may not.

I've determined in my heart you may not devour me, Devil.

I've taken myself off the devil's menu.

I'm not going to be his lunch, right?

I'm not going to be on.

I'm not going to be an option for him to devour.

It's not even an option.

Don't come sniffing around here because you're not going to find any food, right?

I mean, on God.

And the way that we stay on God is we submit to God.

You know, the submission in our culture today has had a bad rap because people think God is trying to control every area of your life.

God is.

Submission is not about control.

You know, most people, because they think this is.

This is a dirty word.

You know, I don't know what it is, but people have a real problem with Ephesians when it says, wives, submit to your husbands.

It's probably because you've got misunderstanding of the word submission.

This is not about control.

And yet, you know, if we submit, if we submit to the enemy in different areas for our passivity, we give him or we give him permission, or just for our ignorance, you know, we've submitted to the enemy more than we've submitted to God.

That's a problem.

Our soul has a problem.

Our spirit is fine.

Our soul can have a problem.

And then if our soul has a problem, our body's going to have a problem.

Because Proverbs says, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

We become who we perceive ourselves to be.

So if we think sick, guess what?

Our body's going to be sick.

That's how that follows.

I written a whole book about this called all is not Lost.

It talks about how trauma shows up in physical problems.

You know, we can't just.

We can't just pray for physical problems and pretend the emotional ones aren't there.

They're absolutely 100% linked.

100 linked.

Jesus paid for us to be free.

Spirit, soul and body.

Spirit, soul and body.

Not just focusing on the body, but spirit, soul, and body.

I love that Coburn says I'm officially off the menu.

I love that.

Right?

Maybe you should take yourself off the menu.

Say, I'm taking myself off the menu.

Well, you know, the word submission, if you look up the definition of the.

Of the word submission in this passage in James 4.

7 is hypertasso in the Greek, and it means to become subordinate, to bring your will under somebody else's.

To literally place your will under somebody else's and say, you know, not my will be done, but yours.

Huh?

Doesn't that sound like something Jesus would say?

Jesus said, you know, Jesus was a man that was submitted to his father.

You know, our authority comes from submission.

It's.

It's a powerful word.

It also is a military term, means it organizes a troop.

There's a troop, there's an armed defense that engages when we submit to God.

If you want to know with what your weapons are that you fight the enemy, it's not in a physical sense.

You.

You.

You're armed against the enemy.

The moment that you submit to God, the moment that you say, you know what sickness, you bow the knee, you bow the knee sickness.

How dare you.

I'm a child of the living God.

The minute that we make the healing power of God bigger than the sickness, the sickness will bow the knee.

The moment that we talk back to depression and say, who do you think you are, depression?

I have the prince of peace on the inside of me.

I have a supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding, that fills my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Depression, you have to leave.

You know what we've done?

We have stopped submitting to depression, and we've made it submit to God.

We've submitted to God.

And therefore, when our words come out based on our submission to God, based on putting him above the circumstances, him above the condition, him above the trial, the tragedy, the loss, the grief when we put him, every feeling, every emotion has to bow the knee.

And because our soul has come into alignment with our spirit, our body has to follow.

It's almost like a majority vote, right?

This is like a majority vote.

This is really important.

So submission is hugely important, hugely important.

You know, Jesus was the first man that walked on earth in full submission to his father.

You know, when it came to going to the cross, you say, carly, how do you know that?

How do you know all this?

Well, Jesus actually said, not my will be done, but Yours, Lord.

You know, when he was in the garden of Gethsemane, his body did not want to go to the cross.

His body did not want to do it right because it sweated drops of blood his body was on.

You know, the only medical reason why people would literally sweat blood is when they're physically under so much stress, extreme tension in the body that the, the blood vessels burst and their blood comes out of your, your pores of your skin.

That's an extreme pressure.

His body, everything in his flesh did not want to do what was ahead of him because he knew the pain, he knew the suffering.

And that's why he said, you know, not my will be done, but yours, Lord.

He submitted everything in him, his entire will to the Father.

You know, other times he says, I only do what I see my Father doing.

He was a man that was submitted.

And because he was a man that was submitted to his Father in heaven, even as the Son of God, he was still 100% man and 100% God.

So when he was on earth, authority comes from submission.

The reason, according to James 4.

7, that we can resist the enemy and see him flee is because we're submitted to God.

There's, there's a straight follow through right there.

Because Jesus was submitted to his Father, therefore he had authority as a man.

That same authority that Jesus walked in on earth, that same authority that he used to subdue the devil, that he used to take dominion on the earth, he gave back to his disciples.

You know, mankind lost it in the garden, but Jesus gave it back to you on the cross.

He gave it back to you on the cross.

But if we're struggling in the realm of authority, Check your heart.

Check your heart.

And getting back into a place of submission.

The Lord wants you to be free today.

Amen.

And in His, He's.

I mean, there's so much in this.

Maybe I have to do another part here.

But you know, God wants to restore you.

He wants to restore you.

He's not, he's not trying to.

He's not holding anything back from you today.

He's not holding back.

He loves you.

He wants you to be free.

He.

He wants to you to have a way of escape.

He's provided for you a way of escape.

No matter what tragedy, trial, test you find yourself in.

He didn't cause it, but he.

He will help you through it.

He has secured the victory for you.

Amen.

He and, and some of the steps.

Let me just, Let me just go back over this a little bit, okay?

We're talking today about taking back what the devil stole.

Understand that it's the thief that's been doing the stealing.

No one else.

It's the thief, okay?

And you going around and, and blaming yourself isn't going to help, okay?

I know there are some people out there thinking I brought this on myself.

Ultimately, it's the thief, okay?

The enemy only comes to kill, steal and destroy.

And sometimes we have flesh flashes and fits of carnality and moments of weakness where, or ignorance where we find ourselves believing in a lie, okay?

We've all find that we've all, we've all bought the lie at some point, okay?

So condemnation isn't going to help you.

The enemy calls it.

And he'd love to get into condemnation over it.

But you know, repentance is a gift.

And when we, when we come to the Lord and say, lord, you know, show me, show me areas of my life where maybe I've bought into the lie.

I've listened too much to the lies of the thief.

And right now I want it to stop.

You ask him and he'll show you.

He'll show you.

And then you say, lord, thank you, thank you for showing me.

I repent of those things right now.

Then you just move on.

And I receive, I mean, I receive your deliverance and then you move on.

Man, that's freedom.

That's just what these men did here in, in Mark, chapter five, you know, you recognize that the thief's the one that's been stealing.

And then you, in the court of law, you understand, you know, you have repentance.

But in the court of law, you understand that you have the victory, that you have a legal right to take back what the devil stole.

You have a legal right to say, I'm going to take that healing back, thank you that you're trying to steal.

That's mine.

I'm going to take that prosperity back from me that you're trying to steal.

Thank you.

That's mine.

You know, God wants to restore to you.

And when the thief steals from you, here's the good news, he has to repay you with interest.

He has to repay you with interest.

He doesn't get off scot free.

He don't worry, he's going to burn for all of eternity in the lake of fire.

And you can sit there with your popcorn and your family watching him burn, right?

He's going to pay.

Oh, he's going to pay big time.

But you know, in a court of law, in the court of heaven, we've already won.

We've already got the victory and we've already got the authority.

Amen.

Make sure.

Make sure.

Keep yourself in the word of God.

It's going to set you free.

Amen.

It's going to lead you into all truth.
