#home #family #parents #children #JesusChrist #God #Faith #Hope #Love When we #think of the #victory of the #Cross we have to remind ourselves that the #blood of #Jesus #cleanses us from all our #sins and we are #forgiven in Christ. At the Cross #Jesus bore all our #grief and #sorrows. All #guilt and #condemnation is lifted because of His #blood. At the Cross #mercy and #peace took on a #human #face. #Jesus #Christ made a #covenant with His #Father and His #blood brings us #everlasting #peace.

I pray for those here tonight that are
have lost control Lord they are not in
control there is fear that is out of
control there is anxiety and despair and
depression that is out of control and I
pray Lord that you speak to us by Your
Word anoint me I hide myself on the
cross in Jesus name I pray amen
I want to show you how one of the most
powerful men of God in all the Bible
lost control of his life for a season
and how he got back in control we’re
talking about Elijah in his battle with
Jezebel you know the story very well but
let me remind you of some of the
circumstances remember he calls there’s
a famine in the land and he calls all of
the prophets of Baal there are 450
prophets of Baal and there are 400
prophets of of the goddess asheris
and this is 850 false prophets and they
build two altars there one to bail and
asheris and one to the heavenly father
and of course you know the story Elijah
waits for them uh unsuccessfully to call
fire down on their altar their God
doesn’t answer
deaf and dumb and and just a piece of uh
nonsense and then he puts 12 barrels of
water upon his altar after building a
ditch around it praise a simple prayer
and a fire god comes down not only licks
the sacrifice in the altar but looks up
all the water
and the people fall on their face and
say God is God he is god Jehovah is God
Prophet Elijah picks up a sword and he
tells every man to get his sword and
they they bind these prophets and take
them down the mountain by the Brook
Kidron and and slay every one of them
kill 850 false prophets
uh Ahab is watching all of this from his
Royal Chariot at the bottom of the
mountain
and suddenly the prophet goes back up on
the hill and he begins to pray he said
uh I see the cloud about the size of a
man’s hand he outruns ahab’s Chariot
into the city of Jezreel remember he out
read it this is some 18 miles this will
Prophet outran the king’s horses which
probably the best horses in all the land
now that’s the Holy Ghost
I’m lucky if I can run three blocks at
my age I know he’s older than I was and
he ran 18 miles out running the Holy
Ghost team on him Hallelujah now he he’s
sitting outside evidently sitting
somewhere in the city and he’s waiting
he’s he’s wondering now maybe this is
the time he’s so excited uh surely when
Ahab rehearses this whole thing how the
fire came down there’s going to be a
fear of God in her and when she finds
out 850 of her prophets that that sat at
her table that she financed that that
she paid for and all of this false
worship season she’s introduced
introduced in Jerusalem and Judah now
she’s going to tremble because there’s
going to be a ride in the sea I think he
was waiting for a ride I think he was
waiting to see her grab her belongings
get on her royal chair and skadoodle out
of town
that that wouldn’t happen the Bible says
that she sent a messenger she sent a
messenger now I’m going to tell you
something folks here’s a Godly holy
righteous man this man is moving into
power and anointing of the Holy Ghost
this man is under the direction of the
Holy Spirit and everything he said and
did this man is without he’s not living
in sin he’s righteous Godly Pious he’s
in the will of God he is single-handedly
under the anointing of God perform one
of the greatest workings of God’s spirit
in the land and the history of Israel
and now he’s full of Faith he’s excited
God is about to send a great Revival
into the land God is going to move in a
mighty way
and folks watch out after God blesses
you watch out when you’re walking a
clean pure holy life in the hand of God
is on you and you think man it’s clear
sailing right through from here on
everything is fine
[Applause]
no no no no that’s when the messenger of
Satan is sent
that is when the devil sends a messenger
the two battles in this story now
they’re two battles there’s the battle
uh on the mouth that was between the
devil and God’s corporate body on Earth
you see that battle up there was was not
uh Elijah’s battle that was God’s bat
was between Jezebel who who was the
devil incarnate the devil had incarnated
her
and if Elijah is waiting for her to
repent and he’s got a long wait because
you see the devil can’t repent
the devil is beyond repentance he’s so
hard there’s no possibility of him
repenting there’s no ways he’s going to
repent
and there’s there are two battles here
there’s the battle on the mountain
that’s the corporate Battle of the body
uh or the church against the spirit of
wickedness of the age
you know there is a battle in the land
that we’re all involved in the church
we’ve got Christians that are
demonstrating against abortion which is
wonderful we’ve got Christians who are
praying uh getting into politics and
trying to change the government from the
inside that’s commendable uh see these
are corporate battles of the body of
Jesus Christ against that sin out there
against the inroads of homosexuality
see these These are the great battles of
the church but they’re really not our
battles it’s God against the Devil
Himself
but you see it’s one thing to be
involved in a mountain like that in this
great battle of the corporate body
against sin and the devil but it’s
another thing when it becomes a personal
battle
when it’s no longer fighting
homosexuality out there it’s not
demonstrating or marching about uh some
political thing or abortion but the
devil says hey you’ve done enough damage
to my kingdom you’re a praying man
you’re a Praying Woman you’ve got a holy
spirit about you and you’ve done damage
to my kingdom now I’m going to make this
a battle between me and you
a personal battle now
it’s a personal battle now these two
battles one of them is is now fading out
and the devil’s saying all right you’ve
come against me and he’s speaking
through Jezebel now I’m going to get you
I’m coming after you
I’m not coming after the whole church
I’m going to Mark you I’m going to point
you out of the whole crowd
there were seven thousand Prophets You
never about their need to bail they
didn’t get a messenger Elijah got the
messenger he got the messenger
now here’s a man is subject-like
passions just as we are he was just as
normal as you and I am
he was a man who felt things he was a
man who grieved a man who wept and
laughed and cried
but you’re going to see the story unfold
here tonight
a man of great victories effective
against the power of hell but then when
the enemy comes at him he loses control
Elijah’s personal battle is right here
at the gates of Jezreel now
is
wanting probably
to uh
see a ride in the city he won Jezebel he
was so
so anxious for God to cleanse the the
nation he would pay any pricey anything
happen to move her out of her position
and and clear this evil situation up and
I I think there’s something else God’s
dealing with he’s dealing with some
pride in this man
because later that Pride came out on the
mountain when he’s alone with God
remember he’s he’s he said I’m the only
one left God in all the land I’m the
only one left
there was there was a famous evangelist
television evangelist who just before he
fell
got on television and I was appalled
when I heard it he said this is the only
Ministry God’s anointed to reach the
world
and he had a vision of of a hundred
Harvesters that were all his they’re all
harvesting in the Harvest build these
were all his harvesting machines
no folks that was the pride the Bible
says that goes before destruction and
perhaps there’s some pride in this man
he’s the only one left in the land
Ahab told Jezreel all that Elijah had
done
and about how he had slain all the
prophets with the sword then Jezebel
sent a messenger unto Elijah
Elijah’s sitting here waiting for uh the
the Revival to break out
he’s waiting for Jezreel to be either
slain or removed instead he gets a
messenger from Satan a messenger from
the Devil Himself
and here’s what he’s she said so let the
gods do to me and more also if I make
not your life as the life of one of them
by tomorrow this time in other words you
slew my prophets I’m going to cure you
sir you’ve got 24 hours to live you’re a
dead man this time tomorrow night
now this man is not in any danger
because
remember
the young prophet he anointed Elisha who
followed him
didn’t Elisha see a mighty host he saw
uh this on horses he saw a host of God’s
Army
so it’s the same Army that’s surrounding
Elijah Elijah is not any danger in first
place he says listen so let the gods do
to me she’s swearing by gods who have
just failed
she’s swearing by gods who couldn’t
answer
so what’s he afraid of he saw he had a
he had a demonstration right before his
eyes she’s swearing by a God that he
defeated
and he’s in no danger whatsoever
folks I don’t care how the devil lies I
don’t care how he rails against you
you’re no danger
you are not in any danger he cannot
touch you outside of God’s permission
there’s no way
[Applause]
Elijah you’re a dead man beloved
God allowed this personal challenge for
a reason
laughs
it’s one thing to be able to stand
against the sins of the whole world
but then when the Devil Comes against
you personally watch out
when the devil brings
these accusations how different when the
devil focuses all his attention on you
and you see he brings fear through lies
he has to tell lies to produce this fear
Elijah panics
in just a few hours he goes from this
bold holy boldness assurance and
Spiritual Authority to a fearful
despairing depressed confused man who’s
on the run and he arose and ran for his
life
he ran for his life
now folks the devil’s not trying to kill
him the devil not interested in killing
you he’s not after you’re dying he’s
after you’re living
he wants to control your life not your
death
as I said once before I know if you
remember me telling you can you imagine
the devil going to a Christian’s funeral
and he he says I caused an accident in
first place he can’t do that without
God’s permission and I I killed him well
he’s not going to rejoice in sending
people to heaven
oh there goes another and I just sent
him to Heaven oops
wrong Channel
no he’s not interested in sending this
man to Glory
he was the torment he wants to keep him
alive and torment him the devil not
interested in killing you he’s after you
give me King he doesn’t want to kill you
too let’s make you miserable
he wants to make you miserable in
unbelief and doubt and fear and guilt
thank you
Satan knows that worshiping Saints
who are in the word and living by faith
are in control
it’s the Holy Ghost is moving into them
of course I’m telling you the Holy Ghost
is in control but we are the instruments
by which that control is brought forth
and so what is what is he going to do
he’s going to try to come in with lies
and panic you to get you away from the
things of God
and now you find this man sitting on a
under a juniper tree asking God to kill
him
now now that’s something for men to say
Lord take my life when he’s running to
save his life
doesn’t make sense to me he’s wanting to
save his life and he’s sitting there
said Lord kill me I don’t want to live
anymore
Jeremiah had that same battle you don’t
go there but in Jeremiah the 20th
chapter verses 14 to 18 he’s saying the
same thing Lord uh you’ve deceived me if
you go to the 11th verse just three
verses before that he’s got this great
testimony he’s saying the Lord is with
me as a mighty terrible one for my
persecutor shall stumble they shall not
Prevail they shall be greatly ashamed
for they shall not Prosper their
Everlasting confusion shall never be
forgotten sing to the Lord Praise ye the
Lord for he has delivered the soul of
the poor from the hand of evil doers you
know a wonderful testimony God’s in
control God’s going to deliver you then
suddenly Here Comes pasture the governor
of the land of the synagogue and he
throws them in jail and accuses him of
being a false prophet
and then you hear the prophet in jail
the Prophet Jeremiah is in prison and he
said God you’ve deceived me
and if you you read chapter 20 verse 14
to 18 it’s uh
a terrible complaint of the man of God
he said Lord You’ve deceived me you have
forsaken me I want to die
what happened
confusion falls on the prophet oh Lord
thou must deceive me and I was deceived
I was fooled Thou Art stronger than I am
and you’ve prevailed against me I’m in
derision every day everyone is mocking
me
he’s saying Lord You’ve not kept your
word you’ve not fulfilled your word
you’ve put me through too much I feel
like I’ve been deceived
and I want to talk to you about this
there are people that don’t understand
how God can allow the devil to come and
attack them personally
is that he that this Christian who’s
living so clean and righteous before the
Lord who has nothing but a desire to
please God somebody who’s been in the
word of God somebody who’s been walking
in the spirit somebody has no other
desire but to fulfill the will of God
have abandoned their own will and
suddenly they become the focus of hell
suddenly the devil is coming at them
trying to bring Panic threatening them
sending Messengers Out of Hell itself
saying you’re dead I’m after you he he
gives evidence on all side that he’s out
to destroy you
and he wants to produce this fear
and and often God in this time will
allow a tremendous time of testing
he’s doing he’s trying to do something
in this Prophet that hasn’t been
accomplished yet in spite of all of his
past victories there’s still something
God is looking for in this man because
he has agreed to work for him to do
and and you can say well God has to be
with me he’s bless me so much in the
past but if if God is going to use you
in Greater measure if he’s going to make
you a greater testimony or if he’s going
to open wider doors for you even of his
own blessings he has to bring you to a
testing place
it for example
those who milk snakes for medical
purposes
they actually milk the snakes I’ve seen
this done down in Florida
and what they do they put him right in a
snake pit to teach them now I don’t want
to be a medical uh milker or snakes
but sometimes God lets you go into the
snake pit to teach you
how to milk out of it His blessings
we’ll get into that as we go a little
further
Nehemiah said when the enemy in the
messenger of the devil came to him he’s
and the devil said you better run
and Nehemiah said should such a man as I
flee I will not run
now folks many of us don’t need a
message on please be steadfast don’t run
you don’t need it because you are Iran
you’re already running
too late
you’re already running
that but but you see this is what the
message is about for you that have been
running
those who are in panic those who are in
depression those who who say I really
know in my heart I’m doing my best to
serve God
nobody in the world will tell me that I
don’t love my Jesus
I know he’s delivered me from sin I know
my if I know my heart at all I don’t
want to go back to sin
but you still don’t understand
how
because of that desire how the enemy can
still come at you with temptation
trying to overwhelm you trying to get
you to run
to go back to some old sinful way
I’m speaking to the guys here and others
all through the congregation here that’s
what the devil does he wants you to run
and some of in your spirit you’re not
out there yet but in your spirit you’re
already running you take you’ve already
turned there’s a panic in you there’s a
fight in you you’re scared the devil’s
going to get me you’re you’re afraid
that you’re absolutely going to forsake
God and lose it all
right now let me tell you
how you can take control back in your
life if the devil is already commonly
succeeded and and and trying to he
succeeded in bringing depression and
fear
guilt condemnation upon you
and I know God put this in my heart
today God really laid this on my heart
that there were going to be people in
this meeting tonight
who if your life is not out of control
the depression in you is out of control
the fear in you is out of control
here’s a a a letter I received today
from a sister
they come home
they were away they come home
and a bunch of teenagers had gotten into
the house and literally turned the house
upside down destroyed almost everything
in sight
12 13 year old daughter
had a kidney transplant
and the kidney failed the transplant
failed
the same day a letter comes
they’re going to lose the house from
back taxes
the mortgage companies pressing in I
think they have another four or five
days
loss of house
the child in despair
house ruined
and at the end of the letter
the dear sister said pastor
I’m going to trust God through it all
I’m going to trust God through it all
but you see the amazing thing about that
this sister just a few weeks ago was
backstage weeping and saying brother
Dave God Pastor God is really dealing
with me I love him like I’ve never loved
him before I heard a testimony I’m going
to give him everything I may felt him in
the past but my heart is determined to
seek him with all everything in me and I
thought well now she’s that thing’s
going to change she’s man she’s had so
many problems in her home husband and
family there’s so many problems now
maybe this is going to be the answer and
I felt real good
then I got this letter today
described me what’s happened since that
testimony of righteousness and a heart
set for God and now the messenger Satan
is coming now he’s trying to get her to
run back to her old life of fear
doubting God questioning God saying
where are you I I’m trying to do the
best I can I love you I’m praying I’m
reading my Bible I’m seeking your face
why why why now
and there’s there there’s the Prophet
Elijah sitting on a ver juniper tree and
says oh my Lord my God
I have laid my life down for you
I’ve been jealous for your holiness
and now
look what you’ve done
you’ve allowed this woman to take
control again and this man is sitting
out in the desert absolutely out of
control
he’s running he’s lost his his
perception he’s lost his discernment
he’s full of fear he’s depressed he’s
down God you’ve forsaken me God you let
me down
all right how is this man going to get
back control and how do you get back in
control once this happens first of all
you’ve got to keep in mind that God is
with you even in your running
did you hear me God is with you even in
your running in your life is despairing
in his total confusion he’s fearful he’s
wanting to give up so God what does God
do does god chastise him does God
reprimand him
does God whip him
saying where’s your power where’s your
strength why are you running no no no no
he sends him a private Butler and Chef
an angel
to cook him a meal that’s going to last
him 40 days and 40 nights now that’s
some nil
that was a supernatural meal
and you know when God sent this Angel to
the prophet he lies under the junior I
think I know what God told him to do I
think he he said to the angel he said
now Elijah is my servant I’ve sent him
on a mission he thinks he’s failed he’s
hurting be kind and patient with him
speak softly to him
I still love him he thinks I’ve given up
on him he thinks he’s he thinks it’s all
over but it’s just beginning I’m doing a
work in him and he doesn’t know it he
doesn’t understand it I want you to cook
him a good meal I want you to make him
feel comfortable speak encouragement to
his heart and let him know that he’s got
to go on the strength of this Mill that
he can’t do it in his own strength and
that’s when God comes to it what he’s
trying to get you to the end of your
strength he told Elijah the angel told
Elijah you can’t do this in your
strength you’re going to have to go on
the strength of this meal the
supernatural meal folks that’s the word
of God
Hallelujah
he sent his word to us to bring healing
he sent the angel
oh glory be to God
what I I don’t know what was in that
food
the Journey’s too great for him he can
make it without eating and drinking the
food that I Supply
that the applications should be
understood by all of us isn’t that easy
to understand the word and the spirit
drinking the wine of the spirit and the
word
you understand
what the prophet’s saying the journey is
too great for you
and that what he’s saying to you right
now what you’re going through is too
great for you you can’t bear it yourself
this journey is too great that’s the
only thing I can tell this sister
she’ll be here Sunday mornings he said
and I don’t think I if I see her
backstage I’m going to tell hey this
this is too much for you you can’t
handle this
she knows that but she’s got to be
reminded that that she’s just got to
just right now crawl in the lap of Jesus
and just rest Lord I’m going to write
out this storm live or die I am yours
I’m your servant my part is to keep my
eyes on you and just trust you what else
can you do
you can’t fight your way out
Hallelujah
he said tell my servant this is too much
of him to Bear but I’m going to give him
the strength I’m going to feed him I’m
going to supply what’s needed to see him
through Hallelujah whatever wherever
you’re running Whatever It Is God is
still with you when you’re running he
was still with him in his running wasn’t
he
isn’t that wonderful
he said I’ll never leave you I’ll never
forsake you I don’t care what you’re
going through I don’t care what the
devil’s telling you he’s telling you
you’re no good you’re worthless you’re
helpless God says I’m still with you the
angel of the Lord and camps around about
you the angel of the Lord is with you
secondly taking back control requires
dealing with the Lord still small voice
and you know he’s going to say
what are you doing here
in this condition
what are you doing
hiding
what what are you doing closing up
inside and so focused on your problem
come on now
some of you’ve been so focused on your
past hurts
you’ve been focused on somebody years
ago wounded and hurt you
and you’re living on that
you’re you’re hiding in this Cave of
mental depression and mental anxiety and
all these fears and all these lies of
Hell still bombarding your mind and you
forget he said I will be to you a wall
of fire around about your brain in your
head in your body
there’s still small boy could say what
are you doing still sitting here in this
situation why are you sitting here
pouting
hmm
what do you say Elijah how long are you
going to let the devil lie to you how
long does this go on
folks I’m going to ask some of you have
been in this bondage for months and
years when does it end
you’re saying the cross has no Victory
you’re saying that that all you can do
is try to find a little bit of relief
not deliver us but a little relief
no God’s not interested in just giving
you relief he’s giving you Deliverance
saying Elijah when are you going to wake
up and end this foolishness
this hiding
now some of you here you’ve been hiding
in your problem you’ve been hiding in
your despair you’ve been wallowing in
your guilt
and that’s the question how long will
you let this go on you don’t need to run
there is nothing to fear I’m not mad at
you I need you your work is not done
just wake up now
now God needed to get to the root
and the cause
he’s after something in Elijah and you
know what it is
he God needed Elijah
to get to the root
of his spirit and here it is now listen
to me closely here’s what Elijah’s
thinking is God
you let the devil get to me
you’ve allowed the devil to harass me
you’ve allowed the devil to take away my
rest you’ve allowed the devil to put
fear in me
and I didn’t deserve such treatment
I was holy I was obedient doing
everything you told me to do and you let
Jezebel loose on me all my praying all
my faith all my preaching all my
obedience all my devotion to you God and
I end up in the biggest personal battle
in all my life God it doesn’t make sense
there’s no there’s no sense to this
because I don’t deserve this kind of
treatment from you
and that’s what God that’s the that’s
the spirit God’s after in US
when we’re going through tremendous
trials and you say God I don’t deserve
this
I may have deserved it back then when I
failed you when I was living in sin but
I don’t deserve it now
you allow the devil to tempt me you
allow the the enemy to come against me
you allow problems in my life that
overwhelm me it’s not fair
and that’s kind of thinking God is after
that has to end once and for all
see it doesn’t matter all the great
works you do up in the mountain
up on that mountain
you can see great signs and wonders and
miracles
but you’ve got to come down personally
to live by faith
it’s one thing to have faith for the
whole Nations another thing to have
faith for your own spirit
and he didn’t have faith for himself
no no he had faith for the whole nation
but he didn’t have faith to get himself
through a single battle when the enemy
came against him and some of you believe
God for the healing of all your family
you believe God can send Revival to the
nation you believe God can pull down the
powers of darkness and principles and
powers and spiritual wickedness in high
places but then when you go to your own
little battle
you go
[Music]
hmm
you’re not going to get out you’re not
going to get back in trouble until you
get honest with God
see when you learn how to resist the
devil the Bible says he’s going to flee
from you
now that’s Bible
he could have resisted Jezebel and she
would have fled
but how can you
learn how to resist
until the Lord put you in a battle where
you need to resist
how do you know you have strength and
Faith against your roaring devil until
the Lord lets the wrong devil look you
in the face
you
you know uh
uh if if a trainer of a boxer I’ve used
this illustration before if you’re going
to be the trainer of a boxer
what do you do do you bring a a cream
puff into the
to the ring somebody’s going to go down
with the first blow
no no no no you get the best what do you
call them aspiring partner you get the
best strongest sparring partner that you
can find this trainer if he really loves
his his boxer he’ll get the strongest
one in there and to let him go in there
and go at it he’ll let his man go down a
few times to train him to harden him
against the attacks of the uh the
oppressor and that’s the only way
they’re trained and the only way God can
produce faith in us is allow us to be in
conditions where it’s needed
where it has to be exercised
how do you know you have faith how can
you call on faith how can you exercise
Faith until you’re in a situation where
it’s absolutely needed it’s a life and
death situation and God allows us to go
in there to see he test us with that
that situation in right now is a test
I Was preparing this
and I go I get a telephone call
and uh
I’m not going to get personal about it

work he takes them through special
trials

simply giving up laying down all of your
Despair and you’re depressed say Lord I

flesh
you know what one of the great victories
that that God has
brought me into
that’s not the Bible school this week
and and preached to them along this line
this the importance of giving up on the
flesh
you see I got delivered totally free
from my flesh when I didn’t expect
anything out of it
and when I was no longer surprised by
how evil it is
I’m never surprised at my flesh anymore
I’m never surprised when the enemy comes
into my flesh and tries to put some kind
of an evil thought I’m not surprised
that I’m capable of losing my temper
once in a while because flesh is always
going to be I’m not surprised by
anything in my flesh anymore and that’s
where you get the victory you’re not
surprised because you’re not walking in
the flesh anymore you’re walking in the
spirit of God
[Applause]
and you turn the Flesh and say flesh you
don’t control me anymore I’m going to
walk in the spirit I’m going to walk in
faith Hallelujah

the lust and the Deeds of the flesh
crucified only by faith in the finished
work of Jesus glory be to God

of your life through the power of the
Holy Spirit

will simply resist
and renounce Every Lie of the devil
