Isaiah 33
verses 7 to 10 follow me if you will
please
behold they’re Valiant ones shall cry
without
the ambassador’s peace shall weep
bitterly the highways light waste the
wafering man ceaseless he hath broken
the Covenant if despise the cities he
regardeth no man
the Earth mourneth and languishes
Lebanon is ashamed and hewned down
Sharon is like a Wilderness Basin and
caramel uh Carmel shake off their fruits
now will I Rise saith the Lord now will
I be exalted now will I lift up myself
now folks don’t don’t get alarmed by
what sounds like a very confusing text
that I’ve just read to you it’s not it’s
very very simple that’ll be open to us
now if you have a baby that cries by the
way we we I I preach loud but not as
loud as some of the babies
so you could escort them to exit seven
and uh that’ll help me
tremendously
when God stops the plundering heavenly
father I thank you for the word that you
have placed in my heart we come to you
now holy spirit I need your help
without your help without your unction
your anointing I can’t penetrate
anybody’s heart I can’t get into the
mind and the Heart Lord I can’t even

of me that have to be anointed by you
Holy Ghost I thank you for Clean Hands
and pure hearts by faith in the finished
work of Jesus Hallelujah Lord let us
have ears to hear what the spirit have
to say tonight God we thank for what
we’ve heard today now Lord finish your
work in our hearts for this day I pray
amen
when God stops the plundering now this
whole chapter is God’s promise
to stop the devil from spoiling and
plundering our homes and our marriages
and our lives it’s what it’s all about
and we’ll show that to you in just a
moment now to plunder means to Rob and
steal valuable Goods forcibly it it’s as
a thief or somebody comes in and
overpowers you forcibly takes everything
that’s good and valuable away from you
that’s to be plundered
Now everywhere you look in God’s house
today everywhere you turn you see the
devil at work plundering and spoiling
homes and marriages and lives it’s not
just out in the world it’s in the house
of God it’s in the Church of Jesus
Christ
amazing things that are happening today
Satan is spoiling marriages he’s looting
good families he’s stealing their peace
he’s robbing everything that’s good and
pure from so many many Christians armies
armies of demonic principalities and
Powers have invaded the lives and the
homes of multitudes of God’s people
I have to tell you all my years of
Minister I’ve not seen so many homes and
marriages and lives and young people and
ministers who are plundered by the enemy
absolutely being overtaken and
everything good and precious and
valuable being stolen from them
it’s uh armies of these demonic Powers
have invaded marriages especially
there has never in history been so many
troubled broken marriages here in the
United States one of every two marriages
now in the divorce
50 percent
divorce rate
one out of every two marriages now
it’s absolutely incredible that in
Evangelical circles now we have the
highest rate of divorce in the country
among Christian evangelicals
not Wicked Sinners but Christians
divorcing
marriages that are broken marriages that
are in turmoil it’s affected the
children
are our children who deserve to have had
quiet homes where both mother and father
at peace they are living in turmoil with
screaming parents they watch parents
hitting one another striking one another
let me tell you sir you hit your wife
and you were in trouble with God I am
telling you you’re in trouble with God
you lift your hands and sister I’m going
to tell you you lift your hands against
him the same thing he said well he big
strong guy he can take it
now it may sound a little funny but it’s
not funny in the sight of God
and it’s devastating when children see
it that’s the devil coming to plunder to
to destroy
I see a whole generation of young people
that are confused today literally their
lives being plundered Satan seems to be
able to tempt them at will they begin
they’ll last for a while just begin to
fall and just begin to crumble and
wither away you see it everywhere you
turn
I think my main English now is up close
to 900 000.
from all over the world and the letters
my wife is here tonight she reads
thousands and thousands of letters and
the troubled homes and the young people
who have no sense of direction they have
they say there are no Heroes there’s
nobody to look up to they don’t respect
to even the worst
among our Minister’s children children
who have lost all uh respect for their
fathers and you see devastated
Ministries that enemy coming and
plundering and spoiling and looting
taking everything precious and holy uh I
told I think last week of the letter we
received and we received many like them
from The Minister’s Wife said we we we
decided to to bring a satellite dish
into our home and my husband and I
started watching porno movies and we
started uh lusting after awful sinful
ways in our our marriage and she said my
husband became so obsessed with
pornography
he quit the ministry it just dropped out
and she we he had just walked out of
them said now he’s left me
and she said our home is in ruins the
church is in ruins my husband who was
successful is a pastor for so many years
his life is in ruins the church is
everything is in Ruins they had been
plundered and looted by the devil
absolutely wiped out
other other ministers that write to us
they’re quitting the ministry not by
dozens but by hundreds are quitting the
ministry in total despair
that’s why when there’s there’s word of
Revival someone somewhere they they get
on a plane or a bus or just drive
they’ll drive all night to get some
place where where they can they want
somebody to solve their problem just lay
hands on them or Get Zapped and suddenly
uh get back to God it doesn’t work that
way there’s a price to pay and they’re
not willing to pay it they’ve been
looted by the devil and somebody just
just going to Revival meeting is going
to not put the devil to chase it’s not
going to solve the problem it’ll last
for a few weeks of emotional high but
that doesn’t solve the problem
well Isaiah lived here in the 33rd
chapter he’s living in a similar time as
this where the devil was absolutely
plundering the people of God plundering
Israel at will King sennacherib had come
within Assyrian army a huge Army and
demanded that Hezekiah hand over
Jerusalem and he’d already plundered
many of the cities in Judah in fact the
prophet says that Lebanon Sharon Carmel
and Basin had been absolutely ruined
already he’d gone through four of the
most fertile wonderful fruit-bearing
provinces and regions of Israel and he
had plundered it he had gone through all
the cities taken everything valuable all
the cattle he had stripped all of The
Vineyards of all the grapes he had
milked every cow he he had taken
everything in Satan now he’s in
Jerusalem and they’ve had to open the
gates
and this is an amazing moment in time
this plundering Army coming against
Israel and against
Jerusalem especially is a type of the
Devil Himself Sinatra is a type of the
devil it is Army a type of the Demonic
forces
and coming
looting and lusting after everything
that’s precious and pure and valuable
and demanding interest now at this time
nothing has been able to stop snack room
in his army
he he has moved at will
the plunders in the 33rd chapter are
already inside the walls of Jerusalem
this had to be an awful time for King
Hezekiah and the children of Israel
because the scribes were going all
through the city uh taking inventory of
everything they plan to possess as soon
as they marched in they were going to
take everything they went into the uh
the the vaults of the city of the the
state government and they took inventory
of every gold bar every piece of silver
every piece of brass they went into the
Palaces and took inventory these scribes
and these monitors were were literally
monitoring everything now the Bible says
that they spoke a foreign language that
the children Israel didn’t understand
can you imagine what it was like how
would you like to have somebody come
into your home uh another government a
communist government for example is
coming in and they say we’re going to
take everything that you possess it now
belongs to the state it belongs to us
we’re going to ship it all to another
land and they send in monitors and
scribes and they go all through your
house listing everything that’s valuable
and though you don’t understand the
language you can hear them excitingly
jabbering because they have their eye on
this this will fit very well with my
wife this fur coat goes on my wife this
this piece now watch everything that
everything they can tell from the
excited talk that these people are
lusting after it and they’re drooling
everything is precious and holy in fact
they had scribes and monitors that were
up on the towers counting the towers
pushing aside The Watchmen
and they are excitedly talking what look
how far you can see this is ours now
we’re going to possess this is going to
become our stronghold
the city of Jerusalem on a hill they
were going to push God out and the devil
is going to come in and take over and
make every strong place they had to be
his strong house
his stronghold
what a picture and that’s what the Bible
says these things happen unto them as an
example unto us upon whom the ends of
the world have come you have the
greatest Bible truths and lessons in
these Old Testament truths I love to
read these Old Testament stories because
they’re not just stories they’re about
me they’re about you and you learn the
secrets what God is saying it’s there if
you just dig for it if you listen God
will give you a secret right now
God will give you a secret he’ll give
you a plan to stop the devil from
plundering your marriage
your children your home
it can be stopped tonight in this house
[Music]
Hallelujah
you see
the devil
is set his scribes already
he’s gone through your house whether you
know it or not
and I want you to know that he’s
monitored and he is taking inventory of
every peaceful moment you’ve had he goes
after every happy marriage he sees you
happy in the Lord I want you to know
that everybody in this house that has a
good marriage I’m not trying to scare it
but I want you to know the Bible said
the devil as the Roaring line goes about
seeking whom he may devour
that is scripture and you can’t be lazy
about it you have to be on guard you
have to know of his devices and everyone
that’s happily married everyone that is
happy with your children everyone that
has people children around your table
and you are blessed the devil has taken
inventory and his scribes have been
there and he is lusting after everything
there he’s after the Gold in your life
your faith that is more precious than
gold everything that’s presses and holy
and pure he has his eyes on it
that he may loot it from you
he’s after every Watchman on every Tower
to come in and say I’m taking over
this is going to be my strong tower
he’s after everything that’s pure and
holy and godly in this church and in
your life believe me
Satan sees
young alcoholics former alcoholics and
drug addicts sitting here in the front
seats
when sure house they’re not here tonight
when they sit over here and in our Bible
school students that are sitting over
here many of you that are sitting in
congregation up in this balcony and
behind me
the devil saw the day you got saved
he watched as you begin to grow in the
Lord
he watches so many beautiful valuable
things were given to you a robe of
righteousness
of Faith that’s more precious than gold
he saw the wonderful things God was
doing in your life
and he began to lust after it he began
to come against you with all the forces
of Hell the whole sennachian Army so to
speak and he says he’s he’s written it
all down and he’s told his demon forces
this is all ours we’re taking over
and he wants nothing more than to take
everything that God gave you take it
from you and put you back on the street
put you back where you were
be sober be Village and Vigilant because
your adversary the Devil is a roaring
lion walketh about seeking who may he
may devour
in fact in this time in the 33rd chapter
of Isaiah things became so bad it looked
like the devil had a sonakra had had
literally taken over everything was
devastated and everything was in ruined
if you turn to I say do you have Isaiah
33 open look at verse 7 even the
strongest among them begin to whimper
and weep
verse 7.
uh let’s see
33 chapter 33 verse 7 behold their
Valiant ones shall cry without the
ambassadors of the Peace So whip weep
bitterly the original Hebrew reads even
the lionhearted of God shall cry in
their midst and those Messengers are
those who desire peace will weep
bitterly
look at me please
there are some that are sitting in our
midst tonight
that at one time were so strong
you looked at your home you looked at
your marriage you looked at you looked
at your life and you were so
peaceful your stories
that’s the way it was prior to this
Israel had been blessed of God but now
the plunders had come
plundering and ruining everything in
sight
and and the strongest among them those
those who never thought they could weep
as they did strong-hearted men who’d
never wept in their life
people who had strong Wills
they began to weep men were weeping now
because
it looked and all peace had been taken
there was no more peace the basil and
peace are Weeping the small lionhearted
ones are Weeping now
I wonder how many there are listening to
me right now
you never thought it would come to the
place now in your life or you look over
some rude and Devastation that the enemy
has wrecked in your wreaked in your life
and in your home and now you cry
yourself to sleep
there is no peace like you once had the
enemy has come and Disturbed Into no
peace in your home or in your life or
your marriage
the peace is gone
and and you were you were so strong at
one time
you were unmoved by things but now you
break down that you you’ve absolutely
broken down you said I don’t know how it
got like this I don’t know what happened
it’s all broken down everything’s upside
down everything’s messed up
there are people sitting Among Us here
tonight right now you didn’t know there
would come a time that you would weep
over your life as you do now and you
wake up in the morning you have that
heavy Cloud hanging over your head
you wake up and there’s no joy because
the enemy has come and plundered
he has done a job on you he’s done a job
on your home and you you say how did
things get so ruined and so messed up
what happened
there’s some of you here now that have
been divorced I’m not here to blame you
I don’t know how it happened
I’m not putting you under any guilt trip
or anything else
but I know there are many of you hearing
me tonight
and you have you are just like this the
Valiant ones the lionhearted shall cry
they’re so weak because of the ruin they
see all about them
Israelites cried out the highways lie
wasted verses eight and nine and the
Earth mourneth and languishes and what
is saying life has become so messed up
now everything’s turned upside down so
I’m mourning all day long and my work
and my coming and my going seems so
empty now there’s so many troubles in my
life I am so dull and lifeless languish
means to be dull and listless and
lifeless I’ve become lifeless I don’t
even feel like getting up in the morning
I can’t sleep at night
and this was the devastation this is
what happened when the plundering was in
full shway
and I see Isaiah is looking at this and
he’s grieving over it it seems to him as
though the enemy is going to Prevail
over Jerusalem Jerusalem is going to be
overrun Devil’s powers are going to be
in control the strongholds of God are
going to become the strongholds of the
enemy God’s strong men are becoming
wimps peace is taken from the city it’s
gone the presence of God is departed
there’s only going to be shame and
broken lives a whole generation left in
ruined and that’s the that’s the setting
of this 33rd chapter
a time just like today
something happens to this prophet
he looks at this and he’s not willing to
let it go
he’s not willing to stand by and allow
the devil to take over
the spirit of God came on him
and in the Holy indignation
he said this plundering has to stop so
he goes to his knees and to the promises
of God
he goes to his knees
you find that
in the second verse chapter 33 O Lord
and and when it’s saying oh Lord this
man is crying out to God he’s on his
knees now oh God
Lord
he’s not gathered with the princess he’s
not with the King he’s not with any
other human being he’s not turning that
is less Lord You’re our only hope oh God
that’s ruined there’s Devastation on all
sides Be gracious to us we have waited
for thee be thou their arm every morning
our Salvation also in the time of
trouble
in prayer the prophet’s Faith begins to
soar the spirit of God reminds him and
he wants him to remind all of Israel
you’re not alone in this
it looks like it’s hopeless it looks
like there’s ruin in all side that you
have a God who still has a mighty strong
arm
he is all power he is Almighty is all
strength
you find the first reference in the
Bible to the stronghold of the Lord in
Exodus 6 5 and 7 and the first mention
of the arm of the Lord is that it’s
mighty it’s all powerful and it’s
stretched out you look at your
concordance you’ll find out his arm is
stretched out stretched out stretched
out his power and authority is offered
is what it means it’s freely offered
God says I am willing and I’m standing
by
to stop this plundering
to end this Devastation in your life
this world I’m I have all that you need
all the proud you know that I know that
you can’t you could be a baby in the
word of God you could be almost an
illiterate in the word of God and a
little bit you heard you know that God
has all the might and all the power in
his strong arm
in Exodus the 15th chapter don’t turn
there but Moses in his song began to say
then the Dukes of Edom who are The Dukes
of Edom
the Devils the demons that harass you
and me the Dukes of Edom
he said they shall be amazed the Mighty
Men of Moab trembling shall take hold of
them fear and dread shall fall upon them
by the greatness of your arm they shall
be as still as a stone
God says I’m going to so deal with your
enemies and harass you that they’re
going to be a silent and shut up like a
stone Hallelujah
now folks Isaiah was no Pollyanna
preacher
he was no sweet soft talking
teacher
he knew how bad the crisis was and he
wasn’t about to whitewash it
now folks I look at the devastation in
the house of God and the broken homes
and marriages and children I see all of
this
in a very very easy to just say I could
stand here and say
bless God he’s going to stretch forth
his arm he’s going to deliver you and
set you free
now that’s true
but there’s a problem
and Isaiah lays it out very clearly he
said behold the Lord’s hand is not
shortened it’s not a matter of God not
having the power or the willingness to
move on our behalf he said that’s not
the issue
it’s not short that it cannot save
neither is his his ah ear heavy that he
cannot hear
but
your iniquities
have suffering between you and your God
and your sins have hit his face from you
that he will not hear you
Isaiah said and look Israel
look Jerusalem
Hezekiah listen to me God wants to show
his power he wants to stop this invasion
his arm is ready he stretched out ready
to move but there’s a sin problem
he said
we are not in this nation ready to do
what he commands us to do we’re not
ready to do what he’s asked us to do
you’re not walking according to truth he
said you’re living a lie
your lips speak falsely your tongue
speaks error
in fact another Prophet put it strong
more strongly he said you come and cover
my always with altar with tears and your
treacherous towards your mate
he said You Weep when you cry
you cover my altar with tears
but you have treachery in your heart
you want me to stretch out my arm and
deliver you but I can’t do it because of
the treachery that’s in your heart
it’s not that I am not winning and ready
or that I lack power
I want to move on your behalf but I
can’t because of this thing in your
heart
Isaiah’s actually saying there’s some
Mischief in you your thinking’s been
perverted
you you can pray you can tell people you
want to obey God you you say I want to
obey God but you’ve spun a web
you’ve had a scheme
and now you’ve made excuses around that
web and Alibis and you built your own
case
you place the blame on somebody else
you really don’t want to obey God’s word
you want out
you don’t want to be saved from your
condition you want God to save you while
you keep your present position
and God told Isaiah
he says now
I will arise
look at verse 10.
now when I arise saith the Lord now will
I be exalted now will I lift up myself
and Isaiah and is actually saying this
they’re going to come a time
that God’s going to rise up
he said that’s enough
and God’s going to act
and then the Bible says oh woe to the
devil woe to the power so they could
look at verse one water them the
spoilers and thou was not spoiled until
dillest treacherously and they dealt not
trenchlessly with thee when thou shall
cease to spoil thou shall be spoiled and
will thou shall make an end to deal
tragically they shall deal treacherously
with Thee God says I’m going to send my
heavenly host and now devil you’re going
to be the one that’s terrorized you will
not terrorize my people anymore you’ll
be the one that’s terrorized
in verse 3 God says I’m going to come
forth and make a noise at the noise of
the two more to the people at the noise
of the two more the people fled at the
lifting up of thyself the nations were
scattered God says I am going to Roar
against your enemies I am going to rise
up and shout like a man that just
awakened from sleep I am going to make a
Roar and when the enemy the Bible talks
about the roaring lion that the roaring
lion doesn’t know anything about Roar
this God of ours is going to Roar and
shake the heavens and the Earth every
demon in hell is going to hear it God
says enough
deliver my people
God says then he’s going to let you take
back everything the devil’s plundered
from you verse 4 and you’re spoiled or
your loot shall be gathered like the
Gathering of the caterpillar as the
running to and fro of locusts shall they
run upon them
I’ll tell you what this is exactly what
God did to sennacher’s Army you remember
the angel Lord came down this room the
middle of the night and they don’t know
why but but what 185 000 were slain by
one angel
and they go out and it takes them days
just to collect the loot everything that
they had stolen from all of Judah from
Bastion and Lebanon everything that they
collected Israel got it back plus
everything synapricable he they took it
all back
[Music]
you said Brother David
that’s what I want I want God to act on
my behalf I want God to rise up for me
how many want God to rise up for you
against the devil and everything has
come to to Rob and steal everything
that’s good and holy and pure in your
life
all right the three things
you say what grows up here didn’t he yes
but there there are three reasons why
God Rises up
and you’re not going to do it until
well let me explain it to you all right
first of all God waits to stretch out
his arm of Deliverance only when we
forsake all confidence in the power of
our own arm
now listen closely please for they got
not the land by their own sword neither
did their own arms save them but the
right hand and thine arm O Lord and the
light of thy countons because thou didst
favor them
the Lord commands Deliverance he all God
has to do is speak the word that’s his
strong arm his very word God just has to
Blink at the Devil it’s over
God just thinks the thought in it’s over
God commands Deliverance he says do it
move
now
I don’t believe God ever wastes the word
through thee will we push down our
enemies for I will not trust in my bow
neither shall my own sword save me but
thou
have saved us from our enemies and put
to shame them that hated us
you’re never going to have God rise up
in your defense if you are trusting in
flesh if you’re trusting in man you’re
taking your problems to somebody almost
every wife or husband that’s in trouble
rather than many many rather than
running to the Lord and trusting in them
they have they look for sympathetic ear
see they built their own case and
they’ll talk and talk and talk till
they’ll find somebody oh yeah yeah yeah
yeah I hear you I hear you because every
big tongue that go find a big ear
some psychologist you can sit down there
and just spill your guts
you know what it cost you a hundred
dollars
asking my good psychiatrist
yes yes yes yes
that’ll be 175 dollars
good for you
thus saith the Lord
cursed be the man that trusteth in man
and maketh flash his arm and his heart
departs from the Lord you don’t believe
it by the way you know what the lord’s
name is
counselor
how many have that in your Bible
counselor
you don’t pick up the telephone and turn
to the flesh
you go to the secret closet of prayer
and when somebody comes to me week after
week week after week with the same
problem and I’ve told them go to prayer
and a week later a month later a year
later they’re telling me the same story
I know exactly what the problem is there
are leaning on the flesh they’re looking
for somebody to give an answer they are
not shut in with God
they’re not hearing from him they’re not
trusting An Almighty God
will never expect out his arm God will
never work on your behalf never
until you’re looking for somebody till
you step all night trying to figure it
out you’ve got it all figured out wife
you’ve got it all figured out where the
problem is in your marriage you know
exactly what your husband’s doing that’s
wrong
and same with the husband I I know if he
would do this or she would do this I
know I know if we we just we get the
right counselor
if we just do this we do that you’ve got
it all figured out and you build this
case in your mind
and I’ll tell you what when you lean on
the flesh you will never in a million
years figure out how to get out of the
mess never
well how many staying up half the night
figuring it out
if you go to the Lord and trust him he’d
give you a good night’s sleep
[Applause]
it’s not a matter of saying well okay
pastor I’ll go back into the battle and
I’ll try harder I’ll I’ll try I’ll do my
best
I I really believe it’s too late but
there’s no hope but I’ll try no no no no
no that’s not what he’s looking for it’s
it’s a matter of saying no Lord in in
myself and my strength I can’t do it
it’s hopeless In the Flesh it looks
hopeless but I believe that your God and
your God to me you promise to be a God
to me that nothing’s impossible with God
and I believe with all my heart that you
are able to do the impossible
lord I can’t do it but I’m going to
trust you I’m going to seek your face
with everything in me I’m going to turn
away from All Flesh then I’m going to
put my absolute confidence and trust in
you
hear ye that are far off in ye that are
near
acknowledge my might
it’s right there in verse 13. there’s
the secret acknowledge
my mic
deal with it go to God and say Lord I’m
not leaving here until I acknowledge
before you and the whole world that you
have all the might and power to do the
impossible
now secondly God will not rise up and
bear his mighty arm for you until he
knows you’re prepared to obey his word
until you’re ready most Christians say
they’re willing to obey the word of God
go to bed I’ll do anything he tells me I
am set you ask most people most
Christians if God speaks to me and gives
a word for you you know I’m a pastor
they say who can pray for me and God
gives me word and I say well I’ll go
prayer in two weeks you come back and
see me see this is what they did uh
clearly in in Jeremiah 42 remember when
uh Israel was overrun by the Chaldeans
and only remnants left and the princes
that are left and all the people there’s
still uh many many hundreds a part of
this Remnant and
they had a thought they’re going to run
off to Egypt and they’re going to escape
this and they’re going to have peace
down in Egypt Egypt represents the world
of course and they go to the Prophet
Jeremiah
swearing that they would obey they say
you go to God
go to the Lord seek his direction for us
that the Lord
may show us the way we’re in we may walk
and the things that we may do and they
said to Jeremiah the Lord be a true and
faithful witness between us if we do not
even according to all things for which
the Lord thy God shall send thee to us
whether it be good or evil we will obey
the voice of the Lord Our God to whom we
send thee that it may be well with us
when we obey the voice of the Lord he
said you hear from God you bring us a
word we’ll do it whether we like it or
we don’t like it we will obey I have
heard that over and over I know brother
Dave I know I’ve got to obey the word
I’ve got a walk in truth and I’ll do
whatever God says that’s so
Jeremiah prays and he comes back with
the word
and the word is
don’t make a move that you’re going to
regret
don’t do something foolish you stand
still now and see the salvation of the
Lord God’s ready to help you his arm is
stretched out if you’ll stand still and
believe God Don’t Make a Move don’t do
anything stand still light in your
position right where you are don’t do
anything but trust and God said I’ll
work a miracle
the word of the Lord came
but you see Egypt already had their
heart
they’re already set in their own way and
you know what they said
no
we don’t think that’s what God says I
don’t know what God’s saying
and I’m not saying that to us
how many times I’ve heard wives
they’re
had left their husbands even in this
church
brother Dave I know what you say I know
what you preach but I know what I heard
I heard the Lord tell me
that he’s not a hard task master
and I have all kinds of scripture to
prove it
and God doesn’t expect me to live in a
Loveless marriage
God does not expect me to see this thing
through because I feel like
this man will never understand me the
rest of my life I’ve tried everything
under the sun and God doesn’t expect
them because I serve a loving God and
I’ve heard the still Small Voice that
has said it’s okay it’s okay
you see
if that has some if something of Egypt
has your heart
you can say all you want yes I I I will
obey I will obey it you will obey as
long as it agrees with your little Idol
but the moment the spirit of God comes
against it and exposes it for what it
really is deception
he said don’t make a move don’t you’re
going to regret it the rest of your life
they said no no no that’s the only way
I’m going to find peace I we want peace
folks it was we’re going down there for
peace Jeremiah said you don’t go to your
peace you’re going to die in your sins
in Egypt you’re going to die in your sin
that we’re not ready to obey God
and I’m going to tell you something God
will never ever tell you anything is
contrary to this book
why would God speak a sweet word to you
when you won’t believe the pure black
and red bird right here
God has already spoken he’s done as this
week again
God says I hate divorce that’s his
that’s his word
I’m not talking about
you dear wives that are here and your
husband turned to drugs and alcohol and
beat you and left you I’m not talking
about that I’m not talking about the man
that’s here and your wife is out on the
street somewhere a prostitute and left
Apostle said let them depart
not talking about that I’m talking about
those who don’t want to deal with sin
I’m talking about those who are
not even willing to try
because they want out
they want to go their own way
I’m not talking just about marriages I’m
talking about those things that have
captured our heart you say I want to be
delivered listen God is ready to send
the Holy Ghost with all the power and
authority that we need it is all in the
Holy Ghost it’s not in us he stands by
waiting but God will not override a
stubborn will
he will not override you say well God
would even put a will in our heart only
if you say Lord I don’t have the power
and I don’t even know if I really want
this but make me want it I want to be
pleasing to you in your sight I want
your blessing in my life put it in my
heart my will is not broken but break my
will rule me till I see it God he’s
looking for that kind of heart oh God
rush in his arm will rise immediately
his arm will come
finally
yes finally
number three
God Rises up
to reveal his mighty arm at the very
peak of the devil’s power
when it seems most hopeless in fact King
snack in his army was at the repeat of
power no one could withstand and this is
BC 700 and up to this time for for the
50 previous years no enemy could could
stand before King sennacherib in his
army as a Syrian Army they overran
everybody and everything
and you see God this principle I’m
talking about where God allows the enemy
to to appear like he has prevailed
the Lord just stands by he’s no hurry he
knows what he’s doing everything’s under
control
or if we could just understand that God
has everything under control the devil’s
not in control
it may look like he’s prevailing he he
he’s already taken all of the inventory
he’s already they’re already drinking
and celebrating their victory
and God says now when now at the peak of
his part you’ll find it all through the
scripture in Daniel 4 King knezer is
stricken down at the very Zenith of his
glory he’s standing and boasting in
Babylon all of the great things he’s
done in the very hour he’s freaking down
you find it also
in the story of Haman he’s just reached
the very Pinnacle of power the greatest
honor ever placed upon a man of his time
and just as he goes home and boasts of
this great power and authority this
wicked man
is hung by the neck
King Herod in Acts 12 he’s just made a
speech to those of Tyron sidon and the
people who gave a shout saying it’s the
voice of a God and not of a man and
immediately the angel of the Lord smote
him immediately
you go all through the scripture you’ll
see the pattern you’ll see the principle
that God waits till the enemy is
gloating
and until it looks you look around and
say oh the
the devil is won the victory
I am defeated is no use it’s over
but there’s a cry in your heart
you say I’m so tired of fighting I’m so
tired I’m just going to sit back and let
God take over and that’s what he’s been
waiting for
[Applause]
Lord if you don’t do it it’s not going
to get done
Lord it looks black it looks hopeless
I don’t know where to turn I don’t know
what to do
Lord says wonderful
that’s what I’ve been waiting for
now I will arise
you’re not trusting in the arm of the
flesh
and now you know
that I want you to obey only because I
love you and it’s the only path to
Victory and it’s the only way to release
the strong arm of the almighty God on
your behalf
you say Lord I’ll obey you
if it’s bad you’ll give me the grace to
accept it if it’s good all the better
Hallelujah God says yeah it looks like
the devil’s controlling everything looks
like the devil’s in power you look at
the nation it looks like the
abortionists are in control
you see the in your face homosexuals
gloating against the Church of Jesus
Christ and you see these Powers rise and
it looks like they’re in control
communism thought it was in control
going to take over the whole world bang
God said enough
God smashed the Iron Curtain he smashed
in the bamboo curtain and folks that
Iron Curtain the Devils tried to put
around you and fence you in and make you
a stronghold of Satan just when it looks
hopeless at the peak of the devil’s
power God said now I will arise I will
arise and stretch out my strong hand
God says you shall conceive he’s talking
the devil now you shall conceive chaff
he shall bring forth stubble your breath
this fire shall devour you in Hebrew it
says my spirit like fire is going to
consume you
I’m going to breathe on you devil I’m
going to breathe on your principalities
and Powers
and the same breath of the Holy Ghost
that inspires you is going to burn up
everything the enemy has brought against
you every weapon of the devil is going
to be consumed and everything else the
same fire
that comforts you
destroys
the powers of the enemy Same Spirit
devouring spirit is our comforting
Spirit Hallelujah will you stand please
Hallelujah
when God
stops the plundering
God of a Congregation of people
most of whom love you dearly
a holy remnant
wanting to walk uprightly Before You O
Lord
hungering and thirsting after Jesus
hearts that are set upon you
wanting to be faithful to husbands and
wives
wanting to raise their children in the
fear of God
those who stand here most of them who
grieve over sin in their own life and in
the world
I I stand before Congregation of people
Lord
that love you dearly
but oh God
that’s the kind of people the devil
wants to come and destroy and devour
he’s not interested in the lukewarm and
the cold-hearted
peace coming against the Saints the
elect the chosen of God
so Lord we’re not ignorant of the
devil’s devices We Don’t Fear the devil
we don’t glorify him but one thing we do
know Lord Jesus
that he comes against us to destroy and
devour he’s a Devourer
he has come in many lives right now
and there are a number of people in this
church tonight whose lives are being
plundered and spoiled
the enemies come in like a roaring lion
bringing fear
bringing destruction
trying to rob the finances Rob of peace
and joy especially of Faith trying to
take that golden faith
Lord Jesus come
With Your Precious Love
and bring healing stretch out your arm
now cause us to want to obey you cause
us to want to lay down our sins anything
any iniquity that would cause you Lord
to stand by and wait Lord arise now in
this church arise and heal stretch forth
your strong arm against the enemy of
those in this house
if the enemies come against your home
your marriage or your life
on your job or in your home or your
personal life I want you to come down
here now believing that God’s going to
as I pray we’re going to ask God to
stretch out his arm against your enemies
and and if you’ve lost your peace and
your joy the Lord wants to restore that
if you’re not saved or if you’re baxton
or you’re running from the Lord up in
the balcony go up the stairs on either
side and come and join us wherever you
may be folks moving close make room for
those that are coming make room for
those that are coming God bless you move
in very close
amen
glory to Jesus Hallelujah God has a
strong in fact this is for everybody for
me included I’ve come to this conclusion
after all my years of ministry listen
it’s always a matter of sin
that holds back
God’s work in our life it’s always a
matter of a besetting since something
that we won’t let go
something that God wants not because so
much of God hates sin but it’s more than
his hatred for sin he hates it because
of what it does to us
how it robs us and how it opens us to so
many other things of Satan’s Kingdom and
Dominion but now listen to me look at me
please and listen closely it doesn’t
mean that God doesn’t give you his love
he gives you there there’s there’s a a
passive love there there’s a corporate
love that he gives God so loved the
world he loves the whole world it’s not
a matter of God loving you he loves you
dearly
it’s not that you’ve lost his love
you’ll never lose his love you can go
out and become the worst sinner he’ll
still love you it’s not a loss of his
love
it’s really not a loss of his care and
compassion
it’s very compassionate
and it’s not that God forsakes you
it’s just that that God is hampered he
is hindered
first of all I said without faith it’s
impossible to please him
and it stops the release
of God’s Mighty arm working in your
behalf
so it’s not a lot of matters saying oh
oh Lord please your forsake me God’s not
forsaken you
and God’s not mad at you
but you need power we’ve got to have
power we don’t have the power we don’t
have the what it needs to conquer sin
and to have victory in our lives we
don’t have it you’re not going to get it
from anybody else so how do I get it I
get it by coming to him and say Lord I
don’t have what I need but you have it
and the only way I’m going to get it is
to believe you and to trust you
I don’t even have the willpower to to to
to resist the enemy I don’t have the
willpower but God you do I come to you
and I call on you so I’m going to have
time with you I’m going to get along
with you I’m going to seek your face I’m
going to call on you
that’s what I said did he got on the
whole Lord
God
be our savior be our deliverer in a time
of trouble
and then God then he he says well God
deal with our sins deal with our sins
do you want God to begin to bless your
life with peace and joy in the Holy
Ghost and see God work here and God work
here and suddenly things that that were
trouble and piling up instead of piling
up God’s taking one thing off the pile
and another thing off the power and the
power is going down and you look around
there’s a little Victory here and a
little Victory here and God’s doing
something here God’s doing something
here God’s changing Hearts all around
you he’s changing your husband he’s
changing your children he’s changing
your wife he’s changing things things
are changing because the arm of the Lord
that’s been stretched out now is able to
work
because you have opened up your heart
and said oh God I don’t want anything in
my life that’s unlike you Lord Jesus I
come to you now I know you forgive me
but now I come to you asking pleading
with you in faith now that you give me
your power because I want to be free I
want to be able to look you in the eye
Lord and nothing hinders that Fellowship
of that relationship with you I want to
be I want an open heart with you Jesus
I don’t want anything
that’s in the line clogging the flow of
your sweetness and love and blessings in
my life
he said he’s more willing to deliver you
than you are to be delivered
Hallelujah
now what did he say acknowledge my might
acknowledge my power let’s do that right
now pray this with me Jesus
I I can’t do this on my own
thank you
in my flesh I’m weak
and I’m powerless but I acknowledge
that you have all the power and all the
might and that you abide in me
and that your power in me
is greater than the power of the enemy
but oh Jesus
there’s something in my life
that’s been hindering the flow
I want that out
if there’s a black stone in my heart
representing a sin
take it out of my heart
and put the white stone of Purity in my
heart
give me clean hands
and a pure heart
caused me to draw nigh to you
to seek your face to spend time with you
that I get to know your heart how much
you love me and how much you want to
deliver me
thank you Jesus that you didn’t give up
on me
you didn’t let go of me
and I know you love me
and I accept that love
forgive me Jesus and give me power now
over all the power of the enemy
rise up now
on my behalf and stretch out your arm
and be my deliverer
now raise your hands and thank him for
his faithfulness to you Lord I give you
thanks
I give you praise
Hallelujah
I give you thanks and I give you praise
you alone have power and might and Glory
we acknowledge your might
we acknowledge your power
we acknowledge your might and we
acknowledge your power Hallelujah
as Pastor Carter said now be of good
cheer be a good year
we’ve heard a word from the Lord God
delivers his people you say brother Dave
I don’t feel delivered
well your feelings always lie
they lie all the time
I want to tell you something sometimes
when I have felt the best I knew that I
was at my worst
and sometimes when I felt my worst I was
at my best with God
Unity to your feelings are upside down
all the time so don’t trust your
feelings you trust the word he said
acknowledge and trust my might and my
power
Hallelujah
[Applause]
we’re going to sing a song now called
wonderful wonderful Jesus is to me this
is the conclusion of the message
