if you have your Bibles open them with
me to the book uh First Kings chapter 20
and we’re going to read a story in the
Old Testament that the Lord laid on my
heart this week and I want you to let it
speak to you look in first Kings chapter
20 it starts bad but it ends good now
Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all
his forces together 32 kings were with
him with horses and chariots he went up
and besieged Samaria and made war
against it when he sent Messengers into
the city to Ahab king of Israel and said
to him thus says Ben
Hadad I want to mention that that he was
named after his father his father’s name
was Hadad and it
means the king of
whirlwinds his father was such a brutal
man and now the
son which notice the terminology of the
words it talks about I’m going to make
you like dust that’s he’s saying I Am
The Reincarnation of my father and I’m
coming to destroy like a
whirlwind verse three listen to the
enemy your silver and your gold are mine
your loveliest wives and children are
mine the king of Israel answered and
said oh my Lord oh King just as you said
say no
resistance no
opposition you want my family you want
my marriage you want my business you
want my
finances just as you
say and all that I have is yours verse
five then the messenger came back
because the devil never stops once you
let him in he takes more and he takes
more he comes to kill steal and destroy
he never stops if you let him in he
keeps taking if you don’t
learn how to resist the enemy he will
never flee he’ll keep
coming and the messenger came back and
said thus says Ben hey Dad saying I
indeed I have sent you saying you shall
deliver me your silver your gold your
wives and your children but I send my
servants to you tomorrow about this time
and they will search your house
coming in your house the houses of your
servants and it shall be that whatever
is Pleasant in your eyes anything that
brings you pleasure anything that brings
you Joy anything that makes
you just be glad to be alive or it means
something is really precious to you and
pleasant when you think about it I’m
taking it I’m taking it whatever is
Pleasant in your eyes they will put it
in their hands and take it
so the king of Israel called the Elders
of the land he said ‘ notice please how
these men seek trouble they’ve sent me
and sent for my wives and children
silver and gold and I did not deny him
and the elders and all the people said
to him it’s bad when the people have to
tell the leader how to
lead do not listen or
consent therefore he said to The
Messengers of Ben hey Dad tell my Lord
the king all that you sent your servant
I was willing to do but this thing I
cannot do and The Messengers departed
and he came back and that’s when he says
in verse 10 I’ll make you like I’ll come
like a whirlwind like won’t nothing be
left but dust verse 11 finally The
Narrative change the narrative
changes so the king of Israel after
saying yes yes yes you can have it you
can have it tell him let not the one who
puts his armor on boast like he who
takes it
off verse 13 suddenly a prophet
approached Ahab king of Israel and God
said I’ll deliver the enemy into your
hand I want to talk to you for a few
minutes about this story because I
believe it’s a powerful lesson you hear
a lot in the media today about
controlling the narrative you hear it in
politics you hear it in sports you hear
it in even in in in controversies and
crisis whoever controls the narrative
controls the outcome that’s the thought
that’s what people believe if you keep
saying it doesn’t matter what the truth
is just control the narrative and you
will control the
outcome and in this story it’s
like Ben haad this evil Syrian King and
his army links up with 32 other Kings
because he had tried to conquer Israel
before you read it again and again and
yet again it says and yet again they
came against Israel and he couldn’t
defeat them but this time was different
because he hired 32 different nations
their kings and their armies against
one group of
farmers the
Israelites and it was because Ben Hadad
knew the power of their God
and he thought this time because I’ve
got 32 Kings and their armies plus my
own army they do not have a chance their
back is against the wall I’m going to
destroy them the reason you face great
resistance is because the devil knows
who you
are the enemy knows who you are I
believe that the devil’s afraid of this
church I believe he knows I believe
demon demons know that we’re here
today I believe that he’s afraid because
we’re anointed to pray we’re anointed to
preach we’re anointed to sing we’re
anointed to lift Jesus up we’re anointed
to lay hands on people we’re anointed
today to set captives free we’re
anointed today to change the narrative
in somebody’s life who has accepted
addiction and bondage for the rest of
your life that’s what the enemy tells
you and as long as you keep letting him
come and take and take and take he’ll
take your family he’ll take your life
he’ll take your aspirations your dreams
your money your resources you he will
take it all and then he’ll come after
that which is pleasurable and seems good
to you and things that you enjoy to
where you’re suicidal and you see no
reason to keep hoping and keep believing
that’s what the enemy wants to do Ahab
had his back against the wall so much so
that for the nation of Israel he was
surrendering he was in the process of
negotiating a surrender and everything
the enemy would say is I don’t surrender
I don’t coexist with you I don’t if you
let me in your life I come to destroy
your life don’t ever think I’m here to
be your buddy that’s what Ben ha as
don’t ever think we’re just going to get
along I’m coming I’m taking you children
children I’m taking your grandchildren
I’m taking your wife I’m taking I’m
after your husband you think he’s cute
I’m after him I want to mess him up I
want to mess your family up I want to
mess your life up I want to mess your
body up I want to mess you
up I am not here to play games with you
you got to see Satan in this story right
and his Na and his narrative for your
life is disaster and kill steal and dest
destroy according to John 10:10 that’s
all he’s after it may be pleasure for a
moment but ultimately he comes to kill
steal and
destroy that’s hell’s
agenda the devil keeps pushing for more
and more I want every precious thing in
your
sight whatever is precious to you I want
it everything you
like and there’s that moment when the
elders spoke to Ahab with such Authority
that they said don’t consent what do you
mean you he he sent he kept taking and
you haven’t stood up and there comes
that moment when the whole Narrative of
the story changes because if you change
the narrative you change the
outcome so many of us just sit back and
let the enemy attack and we think well
we are helpless Len that’s just how it
goes and we don’t have any say so but
I’ve come today to preach about when
Victory begins to discover that it has a
voice don’t let the enemy do all the
trash talking don’t let the enemy do all
the threats and the fear mongering among
your life don’t let the world and other
people’s opinion even control The
Narrative of your life
116 times Jesus said but I say unto you
he knew when he came into the world the
devil in the Garden of Eden had captured
the narrative and he was in control and
he said death he said steal he said kill
and man was just had to go along but
Jesus said I am here now and the word
has become flesh and I’m dwelling among
you and the enemy says you’re defeated
and you’re and you’re and you don’t have
a hope and you don’t have a future but I
say unto you I say he’s not going to
kill steal and destroy everything
Pleasant in your life I have come to
give you life and give it more
abundantly victory has a voice you have
to talk Victory you have to get to that
moment and I love it because there came
that moment when something snapped in
him something said I have surrendered
and gave up all that I’m going to give
up I’m taking everything you’ve got Ben
haad said and he said I was when I
started this conversation okay and some
of you have your back against the wall
the enemy is coming right now like a
flood like a
whirlwind and he’s promising to reduce
you down to ashes and nothing but dust
and I love the power of an anointed
service because you’re watching me on
television and the enemy said I want
your gold and your silver and your
business is under attack and he and he’s
coming he said I want your children and
your children are under attack and your
marriages I want your wife I want your
husband it’s all hitting on every front
and then he’s going through saying I’m
going to take the pleasure and the joy
out of life I’m going to make you so
miserable so M that you can’t even enjoy
you don’t have peace I want you sucking
your teeth I want you negative I want
you walking around just hating life and
bitter and angry and mad and
upset everything Pleasant I’m coming
after
it and that might be how you walked in
here but you came to the wrong service
and you’re watching the wrong
program because the prophet showed up
with a word from the Lord in the text
that I read and that word is still alive
in this year in this day in this hour
and in our lives and our
families you know he said basically I
like how what Ahab something hit him
something came all over them you know
there’s two kinds of Fighters there’s
like people who train and they do MMA
and Judo and uh karate and they’re ready
I mean they are playing they’ve been
waiting on this day their whole life
they go into Kung Fu mode and they’re
ready to go and then there’s those
people who they they don’t work out much
they but but if you don’t watch
it sometimes you can catch them on the
wrong day I I’m I’m one of those people
I I I will run any day I can run I’m a
runner I’ll outrun you but I don’t want
to fight you but there are days I I I I
don’t even want to tell the story that
keeps coming to my mind but when my
little boy Drake was about that big and
he was playing football and and and
there was a man out on the field that
that was on the other team and he
grabbed my son and and and jerked him
and shook him like that by his shoulder
pads and he wasn’t his coach he’s just
shaking him something came over me I
jumped over the fence it was like slow
motion I was running through the
field get your hands off my boy
house and thank God one of our members
happened to be out there and he ran
across and grabbed me and said hold on
pastor
and it I snap back to who I
am but we were going to fight it was
going down right there on that field and
that’s how we ought to feel when the
enemy says I’m going to destroy your
children and your family because this
battle is not ours we’re fighting with
God backing up the cross has won the
battle the blood has won the battle it
is not by might or power power it’s by
my spirit saith the Lord of hosts I need
somebody to give God a praise if you
believe I do not intend to let hell
control the
narrative
well you got cancer so now you got a
decision are you going to let hell
control the narrative because hell’s
going to tell you what to say just give
up just know that you’re going to die
just know there’s no hope and people die
and and so God doesn’t heal anymore and
you know so many people who died so just
give
up or you can say devil you cannot
threaten me with
Heaven are you
crazy what if you die what if I do it’s
called a short cut to
Heaven nothing can separate me from the
love of God and so I will until my last
breath say things like by his stripes
I’m Healed and when people ask me to
pray for him I don’t care what condition
they’re in if I’m coming I’m going to
lay my hands and say Lord I I commit
them to you but I’m praying that you’ll
heal them either heal them in this room
or take them to heaven and heal them but
no more suffer and I’m going to tell you
what God is still a Healer by his
stripes you better learn you better
learn not to let the enemy just keep
coming and attacking your mind your body
your family and you have no resistance
you control the narrative the Bible said
in Proverbs 18 life and death are in the
power of your tongue and you eat the
fruit thereof
somebody’s in the storm of your life
you’re ready to throw up your hands and
quit you’re all ready to negotiating the
surrender but the Lord has sent me today
to tell you victory has a
voice and it wasn’t until that King
began to use his voice to Proclaim
victory that the battle started turning
these stories were written for our
learning the Bible said we’re supposed
suppos to react like God shows us in the
scripture and victory doesn’t come until
we understand that victory has a
voice you should say things like what
the Bible says if you’re barely hanging
on and you’re in a bad place there’s a
scripture in the Bible that says now
thanks be unto God who always gives us
the victory
in every place there’s nowhere I go what
does that mean does that mean I won’t go
through stuff does that mean I’m not
suffering does that mean I won’t ever go
through pain I won’t ever go through
attacks I won’t go through loss I won’t
go through any negative stuff no listen
to what he said now thanks be unto God
who always gives us the victory in every
place what does that mean that means it
doesn’t matter where I find myself it
doesn’t matter what happens to me and my
family God still has promised Victory
and we are to put a voice to that
Victory the cross has won the blood has
won the name of Jesus has won and here’s
what the Bible said that I carry with me
Jesus is with me no matter what I go
through that’s what he promises no
matter how much I’m broken and crying
he’s with me therefore he cannot be
defeated and I am his
child take a praise break right
now when Victory starts
talking devil you want a fight you might
beat me but you’re going to know you
were in a fight I’m going to swing I’m
going to hit I’m going to scratch like a
girl I’m going to poke you in the eye
I’m going to pull your hair I’m going to
spit I’m going to kick you in places you
don’t want me to kick you I’ll do I’ll
fight any way I have to fight but you’re
not getting my family you’re not getting
my finances you’re not getting my joy
and my pleasure in life for in his
presence there’s fullness of joy and at
his right hand are Pleasures forever
more turn to somebody and say the
sorrowful crying days will not last
lasts
forever pleasure needs to come
back well I’m single and looking
pleasure change that change the
narrative I’m single and looking for
Jesus to come and if he decides to give
me a mate great if he doesn’t I’m happy
just like I am go anywhere I want to go
do anything I want to do the most
miserable people I know are not people
who are sick let’s just tell the truth
now I just want to say somebody needs to
give Victory a voice not when you get a
ring or not when you get the job or not
when you get the house what about right
here right now in every
place pleasure enjoy the goodness of God
you could be hooked up to a ventilator
you could be getting chemotherapy but
hear you set and you’re letting worry
torment you control the narrative and
you control the
outcome let Victory start speaking
through your mouth let Joy start
speaking through your mouth let peace
start speaking through your mouth let
purpose start coming through your mouth
let Faith start coming talk Faith talk
Victory talk good success talk blessed I
tell you I feel like saying it like I
wrote it I walk in favor Hallelujah I
walk in wisdom I walk in blessing I walk
I know the enemy’s got weapons pointing
at me but no weapon form shall prosper
I’ll just control that
narrative I refuse to preach until the
dead head shout
too everybody that’s got breath
give God some
praise oh I feel this thing it’s more
than a preacher getting you hyped up
when you begin to do what that book says
when you begin to praise him when you’re
going through suffering and pain and
Brokenness God notices things people
don’t notice
I believe today’s message is speaking to
you and God knows exactly where you are
what you’re going through he has Mercy
he has Grace he has forgiveness he has
love he has
healing he is for you he is not mad at
you he loves you so right where you are
just pray this prayer and say Jesus I
surrender to you please I give you my
Brokenness heal and I put it in the
Potter’s hand form and
remake A New Beginning for me in my life
I give it all to you today thank you for
the cross thank you for the blood you
shed it cleanses me and Lord I receive
it and if you need healing I want to
pray for you Lord stretch for with your
hand you are still a healing Miracle
working savior there’s power in the name
of Jesus to restore your health and Lord
I speak health and healing you shall
live and not die and declare the works
of the Lord you shall recover in Jesus
name Hallelujah if this spoke to you
