Of idolatry you know idolatry if you don’t be careful it can be very subtle it can be subtle you don’t realize that has become a part of your life and what happens is you you could do that do that Avenue Satan can come in am now a
Lot of times we say Satan coming in we’re not talking about possession okay L of times we talk about Satan coming in we’re not talking about possession sa Saints cannot be possessed not Saints so when I say like you can open a door or things of that nature doesn’t
Mean that Satan’s going to come in and Rule your life but it means that you have given him an Avenue by which he can function and then what happens is a spirit of Oppression can affect your life and you don’t know what what’s going on or why you having the struggles that you’re
Having a lot of times is because there’s a door open so we’re going to deal with this this morning hope I have enough time but like I said it shows up differently but th those of us that are born of God we come into the knowledge of the
Truth and we begin to see those areas in our lives that have been affected or could have been affected because we’re Saints now now prior to being Saints we were Sinners so most Sinners they can’t see anyway so everything is like what I don’t see anything wrong with it this is
What they say but I don’t see anything wrong with it but I don’t see anything wrong with it now and now mind you they’re not using the Bible for any reference because they’re not schooled in the word that’s right they’re just going by what they’ve learned growing up
Just society and what it brings to them things like that so when you talk about idolatry they may not understand what I’m talking about but you as a Believer today now you should understand exactly what I’m talking about when I go through these scriptures L can I get a bit amen
Amen idolatry is an Abomination unto the Lord just like some other things but we’re going to deal with that today now let’s look at some scriptures so we can all come to the conclusion first of all that idolatry is error is an Abomination and Saints Christians should
Not be indulging in it and if you were indulging in it as a sinner there is something that you got to realize you must come out of amen amen so there’s a a handful of scriptures that we going to have to to go through let’s go to first of all let’s go to
Matthew this is a familiar one in the Book of Matthew chapter 6 go to Matthew 6 well that rain sound good out there sound good well I I I picture myself eating a good meal a good breakfast getting nice and satisfied and laying down in that bed looking at a little
Football that’s what I that’s what I Envision Hallelujah but in the Book of Matthew chapter 6 look at verse 24 verse 24 Matthew 6:24 says no man can serve two masters that’s right for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one and despise
The other you cannot serve God and what Mamon now you know Mam and here is the god of money right and what he was saying is that you can’t put money on the same level as you put God but God money is a God to many
People money is a God to many people cuz money begin to dictate let me let me say this to you guys when money begins to dictate to you what you should and should not do that’s your God that’s right and when you begin to do anything
For money you got to realize that that is an idol that’s an idol that is committing fornication I’m talking about spiritual fornication or adultery spiritual adultery cuz God says I am a jealous God and you should have no other gods before me amen you hear what I’m
Saying so you got to realize that when it comes to your money who is speaking to you right amen no I’m serious you got to you got to ask yourself when it comes to your money is God first that’s not my message but we’re talking about the danger of
Idolatry and if if your money is speaking louder to you than the word of God then that’s your God Amen if if if you if you get a paycheck and you not giving God will belong to him the money is your god yes sir amen you look at that money that money
Say don’t spend me don’t don’t give me to the church you can do something else with this money so now you begin to put your money before God because your money speaks louder to you than God does I a’t get too many amens on that amen see because why because idolatry is
Of the flesh say that with me idolatry idry is a work of the flesh work another word for idolatry is covetousness covetousness is what greed say greed greed covetousness say covetousness covetousness greed greed so they said for most most of the time this is what they say
Now that for black folks black folks move more on their emotion this what they say I didn’t say this this is what another uh another man of God said he said when he goes to a black church he don’t he don’t reason with the word he get them
Emotional get them emotional they become emotional givers are you ever hear what I’m saying now I didn’t say this this is a man of God who comes on TV all the time I’m not going to say his name but the reason why I know it because he didn’t know that the God that
Was driving the limousine that was bringing him to the church on now was a member of the church so he was asking the the driver what kind of church is it is it the white church black church and he said it’s a black church predominantly black church he
Said oh he said because they emotional givers he said you stir them up real good my God they emotional they give out of their emotion they don’t give out the truth they give out the what the emotion but that’s not what God want to see we we use emotion for the wrong thing
That’s right I don’t give out of my emotion me neither you better hear what I’m saying now let’s look at look at um go to Joshua 23 we got to move fast cuz I got a good two Joshua 23 that’s Old Testament Joshua 23 Joshua 23 and uh verse
16 listen to this you got you have you have Joshua you have Joshua do you have Joshua amen that’s better I want to make sure everybody have it verse 16 says when ye have transgressed the Covenant of the Lord your God which he commanded you and have
Gone and served other gods and bowed yourself to them then shall the anger of the Lord be kindled against you and ye shall perish quickly for from off the good land which he ha given unto you you see that there God hates what God hates what
Idolatry he hates what idry this is what we are talking about it says when you have transgressed the Covenant so he was talking to the Israelites his people and he was letting them know you can’t bow down to any other gods all right you can’t give yourself to them whether knowingly or un
Knowingly you directly or indirectly you still guilty of idolatry just what he was telling his PE his own people the Israelites this is the Covenant that he made with you we have a covet of marriage between us I am a jealous God yeah God is a jealous
God you hear what I’m saying he’s a jealous God and he said listen don’t you bow down to the mother gods and false gods this is where people get confused with inter marriages they say scripture backs up into marriages or you know uh different nationalities marrying different nationalities they said God never wanted
That that’s a lie so it was said why did God separate the Israelites from everybody else because God didn’t want the Israelites his people the ones he was in Covenant with to mess around with these false gods uhhuh false religions that’s right that’s right are you hear
What I’m saying amen that’s why God didn’t want a a a Israelite to marry a gentile yes because Gentiles didn’t serve the true and living gods they sered false gods so God said I want to separate you from that environment I don’t want you to be persuaded and I’m and when you get
Persuaded then I got to I got to what discipline you are you hearing what I’m saying it had nothing to do with race or nationality it had everything to do with what faith and Covenant amen God was against that God didn’t want people in Covenant to marry outside the Covenant that’s why we
Tell you the same thing doesn’t matter about the color of a person’s skin whether he’s black or white Mexican whatever it doesn’t matter as long as you have the same Faith amen you see that’s what God I’m good that’s what God is about amen so I want you to look with me go to uh Psalms 115 go to Psalms 115 Psalms 115 you got it verse four says their Idols are silver and gold money the work of men’s hands you got it you have it
Psalms 115 verse 4 five verse four again says their Idols are silver and gold the work of men’s hands verse 5 says they have mouths but they speak not eyes have have they but they see not verse eight they that make them are like unto them so is everyone that trusteth in
Them talking about ID worship right you know what happened with when the when the Israelites God delivered them out of the hands of the Egyptians and he sent them into the Wilderness and everything that God gave them what did they do with it what did they do with the gold and
The silver they took it and made a molting calf and they began the and began began to call the the the golden calf Yahweh you understand what I’m saying and what did what happened God separated and destroyed many of them because of what their idol worship Men by Nature by
Nature we created to worship God that’s right yes and if we don’t have a relationship with God we’re going to find something in which to worship we were created by God to worship God to serve him yes but because of the fall of Man we lost connection
And we became blind to the ways of God and we began creating our own Gods to worship you understand what I’m saying they were false gods they just demons evil spirits that’s what they are amen and it’s a door opener for anyone listen to me anyone whether you’re a Believer
Or non-believer is a door opener for evil spirits to come into your life and to influence you for Satan’s work yes Amen idol worship anything that you put before God your car can be listen your car can be your house can be your God all right your car can be your god listen listen material things can become your God cuz anytime those things become you put them before listen your children
Could be your God if you put your children before your God you put your children in danger I’m going say that one more time say it again when you put your children before God you put your children in danger Jesus don’t put nothing before God nothing not even your children don’t
Put it before God oh Lord have mercy are you hearing me yes I don’t put my kids before the Lord I don’t put my house before God I don’t put my car I don’t put more time in my house in my car than I put in God Jesus that’s right that’s
An that’s not balance the Bible says a false balance is an Abomination unto the Lord he’s a jealous God yes he is and I know we make up excuses and things like that why we can’t get before God why we can’t pray why we can’t come to church
Why we can’t do this or do that but we can do everything else we have the strength and the power to do everything else except acknowledge God and put him first putting God first is not coming to church on Sunday Jesus Oh I a get no amens on that
Putting putting God first does not mean coming to church on Sunday you got Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and Friday as well we only come to church one time a week most of us some of us don’t come to church on Wednesday cuz some of you are working but everybody’s not working that’s
Right I know some people are working but I ain’t no fool everybody not working on Wednesday night we can be in the house of the Lord but no we got other things that we want to do my God but I mean thank God that you know
There was a time I couldn’t be in the service every Wednesday night I had to work but when I wasn’t working I was in the house of God that’s right why Pastor CU I put God first yes Jesus I put who we have to put him first
That’s right that’s why he you can’t serve God and money you can’t you can’t serve both you going out there to get money you get money you get money you get money you get money but you don’t realize you really putting all that before God my God cuz you saying I got
To take care of myself no you don’t come on you got to put God first let him take care of you I would not listen I listen this was me I didn’t I never took a job that kept me out of church all right I told them

In church on Sunday I’m not taking a job that’s right see that’s me that’s that’s where my faith is at come on now I understand who I serve that’s right and I understand that saying that God is my provider means more than me taking a job that I got to work on
Sunday God Jesus but that’s me this word has to be first in my life and if I truly trust God to take care of me I ain’t taking no job where I got to work on Sunday that’s right I know to quiet up in this joint no I’m just I’m just saying the

Wait shoot I waited and when the opportunity came I went down there I never listen that was the easiest interview I’ve ever been on that that lady was from Boston Massachusetts and she heard the little action in my voice that’s all from New York Brooklyn and listen she didn’t ask
Me nothing about my qualification for the job listen I’m serious we talk for an hour that lady talk about everything except the job she told me you know I’m going do she said you talk so well I’mma recommend you for the highest position that we have that’s what she said
That was the Lord they had like four or five positions I guess they want you to choose one she chose a job for me she said I’m going put you down for this position right here just pay the most money just start you I look at the money
I said Lord have mercy thank you Jesus she showed me the thing I said oh Hal I said inside oh Hallelujah but what I’m trying to tell you I didn’t have to I didn’t have to even apply for the position that’s right that’s that’s I just sat there and
The lady said where you from and we started talking she started talking about this and that and by the time we got finished she said you know what I’mma I’mma put you down for the for the highest position that we have and it pays such and such and I
Began to look at what she what was paying versus what I was making that was almost like $10,000 more money Jesus that’s what God can do do that’s what the Lord can do but what did I do I took a stand I said no I I’m I told I was
Working for General Dynamics in Bushy Park they put me in that second shift from 3 to 11 I didn’t like that now I didn’t argue and fight with them I went to the Lord that’s right I said listen I said listen now Lord I just got saved I haven’t been
Saved that long and I want to be in church getting the word like my wife getting it L he heard my prayers yes sir you better hear what I’m saying see that’s that’s what that’s how your faith Works put listen put God to the test put to the
Test listen what he says here did I read the script I read the scriptures right right go to go to Exodus chapter go to Exodus 20 Exodus 20 Exodus what go to Exodus 20 Exodus chapter 20 you got it look at verse look at verse three three and uh three and four Exodus
20 verse three and 4 says what Thou shalt have no other gods before me next verse Thou shalt not make unto thee any Graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the what the Earth beneath or that is in the
Water under the Earth that’s right you see where God stands on idol worship do we understand now for today those of us in today’s society idol worship for us may not be exactly the same as it was for them that’s right that’s why I name houses
Cars um um let me say this to your guys sororities and fraternities sororities and fraternities now when you wasn’t saved you join these organizations for various reasons sometime he join it because we want you know we want to be with we want to be with the The In Crowd
And we want we want opportunity or we want to be looked up to a lot of times it’s about Pride I want to be associated with this organization so people can look at me differently or I can be in The In Crowd it’s almost like a gang but if you do your
Research it’s not hard if you do your own research but you got to understand I understand most of us who have connected ourselves with these organizations we weren’t born again well some of us weren’t but if you are truly born again and they take you through that process you will realize this is
Demonic first of all if you look at the history of the foundation of these fraternities I can I can name a couple of them well let me name a couple of them let me just name a few these these fraternities these black frat turn these were organized in n in the early
1900s on the Collegiate level and they have eight of them that were like on the top let me give you a couple of names cuz some of y’all are familiar with these names I know I was I never joined any of them Delta Sigma Theta Omega
Sci-fi uh let me see what else is on here Alpha Kappa Alpha some of you may have heard of some of these yes but I just name a couple of them why did why why you do that Pastor cuz I did my research uh Freemason the Boule the Boule started early 1900s but
It was not on the Colgate level it was on the professional level but the bottom line is that if you go back and you do your you study your history you realize that the foundation of it is demonic yes we don’t have listen first of all we don’t have no Greek
Foundation First of all we don’t have a Greek Foundation you have a Greek foundation so that’s that was the first red flag for me cuz I’m not Greek that’s right so who do Greeks worship Greeks don’t worship Jesus that’s right not Jesus the Christ now it have been
Different it been different if they said the foundation is Israelite based then you can do your research because you know much more about the Israelites and their Foundation we know they they were in Covenant with the true and living God yes but what about the Greeks no Greek lettering okay how about this
One let me talk up in here cuz y y ain’t saying nothing to Pastor listen to this Alpha CFA Alpha worship the false god named quch Semite goddess of Syrian or ior godess of beauty love and lust so what happens is when you join these organizations there’s nothing about God
In them but they use scripture they try to use certain scripture you got to be careful the devil use scripture too didn’t Satan use scripture on Jesus so you think he don’t use scripture on you oh yes he does my God why but they it’s called a it’s called a
A smoke screen the surface is a smoke screen see it’s the foundation that you got to get to that’s right right Jesus always talks about what Foundation you understand what I’m saying Jesus always deal with what Foundation because if you build anything on a faulty Foundation eventually it
Will fall Jesus said if you build your if you build your house upon the rock and I’m Jesus I’m That Rock I’m that Foundation even Paul says the foundation that we built upon it was established by by Christ amen even the foundation that we preach yes it’s is already founded on
The foundation that’s Christ amen well when you study out these these sororities and these fraternities none of them none none have a foundation that’s built upon Christ that’s why they got you doing foolish stuff when you pledge drinking getting High girls having sex with the boys they’re having
Parties you you didn’t know about none of that right I bet you didn’t know about none of that no y didn’t know about none of that y was always Believers y was always serving the lord your was always your head was always in the in the word of
God not when you join them fraternities when you Pledge on those lines but the main thing I want to point out to you is the foundation I don’t care about any good good doesn’t good doesn’t disqualify the foundation that’s right or we do good things in the community yeah but the foundation is
Faulty that’s right so if you are part of that organization what you have done that you open yourself up to unclean spirits that’s right I don’t care if you’re a Christian the devil don’t care if you’re a Christian either that’s right the devil will use you just like
He used um Judas that’s right Judas walked with the Lord for three years he did three he walked with God for three years and never changed so don’t tell me just because you a Christian you can be a part of that type of environment and Association
And that’s going to um um work with the Lord you can serve too and when you give Your Allegiance when you pledge you got to give your allegiance to them youall know that I pledged before you got to give your allegiance to them and I remember pledging we did some of the dumbest
Stuff but see I wasn’t a Christian but if I was a Christian at the time I would uhh I can’t do that I can’t read that what what Creed what are you saying burning candles bowing down at the table all kind of stuff going on blindfolding you taking you places you don’t know
Where you’re going it’s so secret getting branded on your arms and stuff like that with with hot IRS like you some animal and then we hurah hurah stepping and and we so proud what it does it Puffs you up you become prideful you think you better than
Everybody else cuz you part of this organization and you don’t know you blind as a bat sticking your nose up you ever no I was a part of it they got their little group they got their little colors got they sweaters and they got their sayings and they think they better than everybody
Else don’t realize Satan got you right where he wants you now you walk away it’s just like going to a palm reader and getting your palm R and when you walk away you leave with a familiar spirit so if any of you ever went and got your palm
Red when you left you just didn’t leave with a word about your future you left with a familiar spirit it’s called a familiar Spirit they leave right with you that’s the object that’s the idea see what you got to understand Satan is a demon he’s a spirit being
He’s a fallen angel yes you understand he have other evil spirits that function and operate and work under him yes and their job listen to me their job is to go around deceiving right enter in into your life and you don’t know why you do
Some of the stuff you do you don’t know why you think the way you think it’s influence it’s a demonic influence are you hear what I’m saying so when you join these fraternities and sororities and you begin as a unbeliever now because I can’t see a I can’t see a
Saint that’s right going through that process and not being checked by God saying hold up now you want me to say what Pastor you want me to do what no I can’t do that cuz I’m I’m a Believer but I can understand if you’re not a Believer right going into these
Type of situations we do a lot of things that we should not do because we don’t know any better that’s right that’s right but when you get save and you get the knowledge of God you begin to realize you know what I can’t do that no more amen I got to
Separate myself from these stuff these things because guess what until you do they’re still connected to you that spirit is still connected to you listen to what he says here I ain’t getting no amens but that’s okay Delta Sigma Theta they worship the god manura they worshiped the god called
Manura it’s a Greek all these are Greek gods they founded their organizations on Greek mythology and then they add a little scriptures on top of it to cover it up cuz why is that cuz you got a lot of people in the church I can’t say they’re
Born again but they in the church and they got the little fraternities and royalties operating in the church the Bible said my people are destroyed lack knowled for lack of knowledge well Pastor are you against I’m against what God is against that’s right amen that’s why I’m just against
What God is against right that’s I’m not against people but I’m against what God is against and if you’re going to experience full Deliverance you got to separate yourself from that stuff cuz until you do Satan still got to enroll to your life now well what you what I need to do
Pastor cuz I’m I’m in between I’m tossed between would you better get in your and and talk to the Lord about what I just talked about all right that’s all just get get before God if I’m lying God is say he lying if I’m not lying God say that’s my
Word the god manura that’s the foundation of that organization so no no matter what you put on it on top of it you can’t cover that up that’s right go back and look at the Greek signs look at the Greek signs they tell you a story look at this look
At the symbolism in it it go back if you if you anybody in here if you a part of some type of you’ve been a part of some type of um sorority of sorority or fraternity go back and just look at the sign itself it you can decipher it
Yourself and you can realize you know what this ain’t got nothing to do with the Lord this ain’t got nothing to do with truth is demonic is ancient you better hear what I’m saying why you think God pulled the people out of a people and called them Israelites and called them his people
And gave them a covenant and said this is what you can do and not do right he said when I send you into the land of Canaan I’m going to give you that land but there’s a whole lot of foolishness going up in there they serving false
Gods everywhere so when you get into the land you got to drive them up out of the land yes that’s right not because God didn’t love them see people try to make like like God didn’t love them no God loved just like he loved everybody else but God said you cannot cohabitate you
Cannot work together you can’t Fellowship because they will turn your hearts from me to serving false gods like manura like asteroth all these are false gods amen and all these fraternities and sororities their Foundation go do your own work right right do your own you think I’m
Lying do your own work do your own research and you going to realize you going to say you know what I’ve been a part of this organization in ignorance maybe maybe this is the reason why I can’t serve God the way I want to serve
Him maybe this is why I have such a fight in my home Jesus cuz I’m still connected you got to sep that cord yes you got to s that relationship I know some of y’all be like man my my sorority my fraternity May me somebody people look up to
Me it says Delta Sigma Theta manura Roman goddess of wisdom shown on Crest in a rit in rituals Kappa GMA Kappa Kappa Gamma is backed by the same false god minurva Omega SII shikina also known as asteroth that’s in the Bible female godess spirit and gabala and merova Mystic mysticism and
Gnosticism Omega rituals refers to Spirit of omega as female in nature anabas Egyptian god depicted with a head of a jackal which is a dog so if you’ve been if you were ever part of the fraternity or if you still are this is no this is not to condemning
You this is to deliver you that’s right go and do your own little research you you don’t you don’t have to go that far just pull up the crest just pull up whatever signia that represent that particular group and look at that and begin to dissect that and you going to
Realize the history behind it is not good so what happens is as we join ourselves to these groups we become one with that group we come we become one with that false goddess whether you worshiping her directly or indirectly you’re connected listen to this this what they do chanting chanting secret rituals chapter
Creeds now if you a part of fraternity you need to go back you need to go back and look at your Creed and read it CU a lot of that stuff in there has nothing to do with the Lord has a lot to do with the foundation and the spirit
Behind it so the question you got to ask yourself is the spirit behind my sorority or the fraternity is it of God is that the spirit of God or is that a false spirit is it an evil spirit is it is it a false god and I guarantee to you
By the time you get finished you going to say boy this thing is demonic this is not of God that’s why they have all them orgies that’s why they have those parties with folks get drunk that’s what we used to do we used to have parties in the name of the sorority everybody
Drunk I know you never went through none of that I went through that was in college I pledged but it was nothing nothing we did good stuff for the community but listen guys behind closed doors we were sinning up let me say it that way we were sinning
Up sing up S we were sing up but I but I wasn’t again I wasn’t born again I was already a sinner so that felt right in line with me that listen I a have to change anything you know what I’m saying you know you do you did good
Things but I was still busting hell wide open doing my good things not only that but the spirit behind it influenced us to do stuff we would not do that’s right you you understand what I’m saying there were things I would never thought about doing until I got connected to a a fraternity
Wow I had to quit that day I quit before I became a Christian I quit that thing before what I said listen I got to stop getting drunk first of all I said I had first of all I got to stop getting drunk and I can’t do that with [Laughter]
Y’all I got to stop coming to your parties cuz the parties we having was nothing good we weren’t raising no money we was just taking money and getting drunk with it getting high all kind of stuff with these fraternity messing with the women having a good
Time all that stuff on the surface you see in public that’s look good that that’s not what God is concerned about it what was going on behind closed doors so if the Lord was the center of it none of that stuff would have been going on are you hearing what I’m saying
If the Lord was the center of it it would have been no Pride involved that’s right notice how you become part of the church there’s no Pride involved that’s right you become a you become a member of the body of Christ there’s no Pride involved God already told you got to be
Humble but in fraternities they don’t tell you that they want you to walk around your head up in this in the cloud somewhere looking down on folk that was the idea you join yourself to what they call the elites or they figur they were the elites that was the Boule the
Boule was a was an organization that started in the ear early 1900s right but it was based upon those who who are professional blacks who were in high esteem who made a lot of money you understand they were wealthy people doctors lawyers you know congressmen things like that people on
That level they joined this group and it was called the Boule that started first and then out of that came um the Collegiate level they started these fraternities on these campuses are you hearing I’m saying but it was the same Spirit the same idea was it they only
Wanted certain people certain color skin you couldn’t be too dark in some of them all kind of different um um um requirements they made up none of that was scriptural none that was based on the word of God or he to do she too dark her hair not straight
Enough she can’t be a part of our group I’m serious oh he too country he talk he he talk like he from the woods somewhere he can’t be a part of he can’t represent our he can’t represent us see is the wrong Spirit that’s what
All I’m trying to point out to you none of that connected to Christ that’s right amen none of it amen amen so what happens is people become bound with the spirit of Oppression and don’t even realize it a lot of these organizations nothing but spirits intermingling and functioning in Within These
Groups so when you go home you might been a nice girl before you before you join the group but after you join that group you experienc stuff you never experienced before but they supposed to be doing good good on the surface they were but now you going back home and you
Got issues cuz you doing stuff you never did before you’re smoking now getting drunk having sex you didn’t do none of that until you joined the group because you wanted to be a part of the group and you found out being part of the group they were doing stuff that
You never did that’s right that’s right but if you want to stay within that group listen I heard heard this I I didn’t see this but I heard this that some of them groups they made the they made the girls go sleep with the boys as a pledge thing you pledging so
They tell you you got to go in his room tonight stuff like that and those girls want to be a part of that group so bad they submit themselves to that why you say the girls Pastor cuz the men they Brothers we want to do that but the girls they’re giving up
They’re giving up their virginity to be a part of a group they love so much they figure like this going to give me identity no that was never that was never created to give you an identity Christ gives us our identity and he don’t ask you for none of
That matter of fact he tell you to keep that amen we say m Le amen that’s right but the fraternities you got to give it up well well my God all open all open sorority and fraternity you’re quiet up in here gosh okay good good good listen to this
There are a couple things that idolatry does let’s turn to the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 10 1 Corinthians chapter 10 let me show you in 1 Corinthians these hand signs um Greek mythology background and then you bring that stuff into the church you understand I’m saying you you
Begin to you begin to cross mingle with your Fraternity in the church that Bible is right he said my people are destroyed for lack knowledge Saints we can’t see without natural eye the spiritual realm you understand but you got to understand that the spiritual realm in other words the world man
Kind the human race the creation comes out of the spirit realm you understand what I’m saying amen so that which exists that which we see was actually made by that which do not appear amen yes you understand what I’m saying both good and evil yes you you got me so you can’t think
For any second that the material world is the reality the material world is not the reality the reality is when you leave here amen see we’re not living in a we’re not living in a real reality we are living in a false reality but when you die and step out
Your body you will enter into reality quick where there’s there’s no more decision making no in in God’s reality in the spirit realm decision making is never up to you in this reality decision making is up to you yes but once you step out of this reality you have no more control
That’s right ameny what I’m saying why is that because the real world or the real reality is God’s reality that’s right amen you understand what I’m saying yes sir and Satan is a spin-off from God because God created him and called him Lucifer but he’s a spirit being right he
Fell from heaven and and and a bunch of the Angels fell along with them that’s right so when you step out your physical body there’s no more choice to make no there you you there’s no more control you have no more control so you got to understand the
Significance of the spiritual realm even though we don’t understand everything about the spiritual realm we can only understand what God allows us to understand and what he gives us follow what I’m saying yes so the word of God becomes your flashlight and if you follow the word of
God yes sir you will be protected from that evil realm Jesus you understand what I’m saying but if you walk into it and expose yourself to it and then consent to it then you get what you deserve that’s just the truth I don’t go to Palm readers I don’t talk to psychics that’s
Right cuz I what’s wrong with here some people what wrong with that Lord mer it’s not the person is is is it’s the reality that is fa is the reality of demonic spirits that is now speaking into your life because you consult them like like like like Saul
Did uhhuh that’s right the Bible says SA when God stopped talking to Saul and Saul be Saul became afraid the very witches and warlocks that he kicked out of the Kingdom out of Israel he went and looked for one why because he knew God had forsaken
Him God has stopped talking to him God what stripped the Kingdom from him so he said listen I I need a word from God well you’re not going to get a word from God he said well I need to hit I need to enter that realm of reality that’s real
Cuz cuz this reality is not real I need to know what’s real so he went consulted a witch Jesus and that witch consulted up a familiar spirit cuz the Bible say it looked like it looked like Saul yes looked like Samuel but it wasn’t Samuel
Y’all no it was a demon Spirit we call it a familiar Spirit conjure that Spirit up through the witch you hear what I’m saying but what what I’m saying that’s the real world that’s right cuz anytime you got to go to the spirit realm come on now to
Find out what the truth is you realize that the world we living in is not the truth Jesus are you understand what I’m saying I know that the real world is the spirit world God’s reality is what’s real is what’s truthful that’s it and as long as
We submit to that as long as we align ourselves with the will of God we will live in his reality in this world but what happens is what happens is because we don’t see that world we don’t understand that realm we think that we control everything in the physical world
You do not do not you either going to submit to the spirit of God or you going to submit to Satan directly or indirectly but one or the other will will control your life that’s why that’s why Paul told the Saints he says um be not drunk with wine
This is what he says he was talking to the Saints he says be not drunk with wine wherein excess but be filled with what the spirit he wasn’t talk about speaking in tongues when you study that out he was talking about being under the influence he said there are two
Influence you’re going to be under either gods or or Satan when you when you when you drink too much wine and you become under the influence you’re not under the influence of the spirit anymore that’s right that’s right you hear what I’m saying that’s why I had to
Stop drinking because I realized as I started studying the word when I would get intoxicated not drunk intoxicated I was more open to doing things and hearing things that if I wasn’t I would never do all right that’s right cuz I was under the influence but when you get when you get
Under the influence Satan comes in when I say coming I’m not talking about I’m not talk about demonic oppression I’m talking about now he talks to you you hear him clearly but the problem is we begin to submit to it as if that’s our voice and our thoughts so Paul says
Don’t be drunk with wine we’re in excess he said but be filled with the spirit that word filled means to be influenced say influenced influen right so the only spirit that should be influencing you is the Holy Spirit hallall so if you’re not drinking wine if you’re not drinking
Wine what else are you connected to that’s influencing you good most of the time we don’t even know Jesus so I don’t go to I don’t go to I don’t call no psychic I don’t go to no Palm Reader cuz the minute I do I have just connected myself to
Hell I’m talking on the line to hell that person that human being is only a medium you’re looking at the person but you’re not talking to the person that’s right you’re talking to a demon yes sir that’s why Paul you remember the story about the Paul in the Bible where
Paul was going from place to place and this woman was following Paul that’s right these are the Great Men of God these men came and show us the way of righteousness that woman walk with Paul for days and I guess Paul was saying there’s something wrong with this
Woman you ever been that you you ever been in that situation where you they saying the right thing right but something ain’t right with that person yes sir the Holy Spirit had to reveal to him that that woman was operating under the spirit of definition yes she was
Being used by an evil spirit even though she was saying the right thing yes Paul discerned that This Woman’s this woman ain’t right you know what he did the Lord said that’s a spirit he cast the spirit out the woman that’s right you understand she was only a
Medium yes but she was connected to the what the world the re the real world the world of the spirit cuz what she was what she was saying to them even though she did not know them was the truth but it was coming from what the darkness not
From God it took him a few it took him a few days to realize it yeah because God had to reveal it to him but once the Lord revealed it to him what it was the Bible said he cast the spirit out the woman and the men got mad because they
Realized the woman couldn’t do what she was doing before she lost she lost her connection with that spirit world because what happened Paul cast the spirit out of her yes sir are you hearing what I’m saying so you got to be careful who you connect yourself to who who who you allow to
Counsel you because those people are connected to the wrong Spirit are you are you are you understanding what I’m saying yes Lord and you know what people say he just trying to be so deep it it it they don’t take all that listen if God would open your eyes like
He if God open your eyes like he allowed Elicia’s servant yes to see he the servant said the prophet said Lord open up my servant’s eyes to the real world he said you know say that’s what he was doing open up my servant eyes to
The real world my God and the Bible says gazi looked and behold there was a legion of angels en camped around the enemy yes sir that’s the real world this is not the real world Saints I know we think it is this is just the material world thank
God the material came out of the spirit realm you got me look at Hebrews let me show you what I’m talking about look at Hebrews chapter 11 I’m about to close up in about five minutes go to the book of uh Hebrews Hebrews 11 I know I didn’t read Corinthians
Yet but go to Hebrews go to Hebrews though I’ll come back to that and close with that Hebrews yes Lord yes Lord I pray that you guys are receiving this word amen hallelujah Lord Hebrews chapter 11 when you get to say amen amen look at verse look at verse um
Three verse three says through faith we are understand that the worlds were framed by what the word of God you see that there the worlds were put together by what the word of God the word of God so that tells me that God is the reality not the world that’s
Right God is God is the architect not the world the god that we’ve never seen without natural eyes said that with his word he framed worlds he put the worlds together that’s right with his word am I right amen it also said some of you probably already read the scripture It also says
Um so that things which are what seen the material were not made of things which do appear you see that amen so that tells me and that tells you that stop looking at the natural all right cuz the natural is not what made the natural that’s right it’s the spiritual
That made the natural we came out of the Spirit realm not the natural realm can I get amen amen so if that is the case the spirit world is more real than the natural amen so we need to pay more attention to the spirit world our decision making the
Places we go the things that we do yes is affected by the spirit realm you hear what I’m saying you understand this is why it’s not good to connect ourselves with people who are not of the same faith in other words you can’t a marry a a Christian should not
Marry a non-Christian that’s right because why is the person bad no is the is the reality behind the person that’s right what world is that person connected to cuz I’m connected to a different world that’s right Jesus told the Jesus told pilot he said listen I am a king cuz you say I’m
A king he said but my kingdom is not of this world that what he said he said that which backs me is not of this world he said if he said if my angels if this kingdom was my world my angels would fight yes sir that should not be
Delivered into your hands he said but my kingdom is not of this world right that’s right that’s right the God I serve is not of this world that’s right so I can’t connect myself to someone who’s not of the same world I’m from right that’s right you understand what
I’m saying so I got to marry somebody that’s on the same page that’s from the same world that serve the same God because the influence behind the person what counts it’s not the person it’s the influence behind the persones you understand what I’m saying it’s not hard but you got to stop
Looking in the natural yeah and start looking where in the spirit realm my decision making is not based upon what I see in the natural my decision making has to be what I see in the word of God because that connects me to the spirit realm the
Only way I understand the spirit realm is through the word of God that’s the only way you going to understand the spirit realm cuz we’re not in the spirit realm I’m of the natural realm but the only way I understand the spiritual realm is through the word of
God amen let’s finish up I’m give me five minutes go back let’s go to Corinthians go back to uh 1 Corinthians chapter 10 yall getting [Applause] This and I tell people you know this is serious you got to be careful you no listen listen some sometimes say we’re not trying to be spooky we’re just trying to help you live a Victorious Life in every area of your life yes that’s what we that’s
What that’s what I’m saying so the things I’m dealing with I’m I’m not against the people I’m against the I’m I’m against the spirit behind the people you understand we’re not against people Saints I’m not against human beings God created the human being that’s right but
If you’re not for God all right if you’re not for God I’m against that world that you’re serving and that’s influencing you that’s right cuz it’s against the world I’m connected to I’m a child of the Kingdom we are children of the Kingdom right okay so I can’t be a child of the
Kingdom and go against the kingdom you know what I’m saying you know you can’t be a child of the kingdom and go against the kingdom you be in violation as a citizen amen so look at Corinthians I’m closing with this look at Corinthians chapter 10h Corinthians 1 Corinthians chapter 10
And we’re going to start with verse uh one moreover my moreover Brethren I would not that ye should be ignorant how that all our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the sea and then listen to this and were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in
The sea and did all eat the same spiritual meat and did all drink the same spiritual drink for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them so all he is saying he’s listen what he’s saying he said you all ate that same spiritual meat and you drunk that
Same spiritual drink well he Associated the natural with the spiritual cuz Christ had not come yet so he was talking about his people in the wilderness that’s right he said they drunk from That Rock that Rock of Flint which was Christ right so they they were connected to
That spiritual realm through the rock yes right amen they tapped into the spiritual realm God gave them water from the rock of FL he told Moses you know speak to the Rock first the first time to strike the Rock and he gave him water out of
The rock of Flint but that water came from who Christ that realm the realm of Christ the realm of God our Father you follow me yes so they were tapped into that realm that reality notice that reality brought forth water yes you understand what I’m saying that reality God’s reality in the Rock
Brought forth water Jesus but that’s God’s reality yes yes looking at it from a natural standpoint we going we going to we going to die of thirst we are in the desert but the Bible gave them water out of a rock they tapped into the realm of the
Spirit you understand what I’m saying do what the Rock so you it’s not hard to tap into the realm of the spirit on the other side yes that’s demonic just depends on who’s being used at that particular point in time right this is why you can’t associate with these so these fraternities yes
Because of the foundation they tapped into something you hear what I’m saying you just didn’t realize it they tapped into the Demonic they didn’t tap into Christ and then your Association or your attachment with that organization right connects you to that realm and even though you may not realize it or know it
Or anything about it now you’re going to be affected just like everybody else and we’re all back verse three and and and did all eat the same spiritual meat that’s that’s the that’s the Mana the Mana that God gave them from where Heaven God’s reality yes you see what I’m saying they tapped
Into God’s reality God gave them meat bread from Heaven till they got tired of it listen to this and did verse four and did all drank the same spiritual drink for they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them and that rock was Christ but with listen to this verse
Five but with many of them God was not pleased well pleased for they were overthrown in the wilderness now these things were of our examples to the intent we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted neither be ye idolators as were some of them as it is
Written the people sat down to eat and drink and Rose up to play you know what he’s talking about here right when he took when God deliver the um his people out of Egypt the Bible says when Moses went to the Mount to be with God
The the first thing they did when Moses was not had not come back in their time frame the Bible says they began to party that’s lord I can’t finish Hallelujah they began to what party why because the Visionary was gone the Visionary was in the mountains
With God yes and after a while they said what what happened to Moses Moses must be dead listen let party the Bible says without a vision without a vision people the people perish but in other words without a vision the people cast off restraints that’s right there’s no more restraining
Power when the Visionary is gone Jesus said if you smite the shepherd the Sheep scatter that’s the word everybody has to have a Visionary why a Visionary holds you accountable but when there’s no Visionary folks start doing what they want to do we start getting Loose as a
Goose we start do all kind of stuff why there’s no Visionary there there’s no Visionary that’s why he said you smite the shepherd what happened when when you smite the shepherd the Sheep scatter stand on your feet [Applause] Hall
