=== Cannot Forgive, Cannot Go (03:01) ===

[00:00:00]  And so you believe, though, that you can let things go.
[00:00:03]  But here's what happens.
[00:00:05]  A brother offended is harder to win than a gated city.
[00:00:09]  All right.
[00:00:10]  So if any of us get into any kind of an offense, that will apply to us just like it would apply to somebody else.
[00:00:16]  But here's the thing: there are things that you can do.
[00:00:19]  Now, I do believe time sometimes is required for a person to go through the level of healing that completes it.
[00:00:27]  I do know that's true.
[00:00:29]  Because even though that you release and you pray and you seek God, and this is the end-time strategy of the enemy, is to pull people into unforgiveness.
[00:00:37]  Because if you read your Bible, if you're in true unforgiveness, it says God does not even forgive you.
[00:00:42]  Did you know it says that?
[00:00:43]  It's that it says if you pray to repentance, God won't forgive you till you first forgive your brother.
[00:00:48]  Did you also know it says leave your gift, which is your giving, before you give it, because God cannot even bless your giving?
[00:00:55]  So I'm saying to myself, if I want to be blessed, then I cannot go back and undo anything.
[00:01:01]  I can't undo lies that people have told.
[00:01:03]  I cannot do things that people have said.
[00:01:06]  I can't undo people's opinions where they've just ran their mouth with it.
[00:01:09]  I can't do that.
[00:01:09]  So what I have to do is just simply say, God, and this is something God spoke to me, and this is for somebody watching, and it's for some of you there.
[00:01:17]  Let's say, let's say someone in your family, it could be an ex-husband, ex-wife, it could be your children who have nothing to do with you.
[00:01:26]  It could be a church situation, but let's say you have a situation, a personal situation, in which something has been done to you that is absolutely wrong.
[00:01:35]  You know it.
[00:01:37]  Maybe the person thinks they're okay.
[00:01:39]  The person thinks they're justified.
[00:01:41]  The person that talked about you believes it.
[00:01:43]  And it may not be true.
[00:01:44]  The Lord says this: there's coming a Bima or a judgment in which every idle word, and that word idol is useless or worthless word, you will give an account of.
[00:01:55]  So the Lord spoke to me.
[00:01:56]  He said, Son, don't try to straighten out everything that's ever happened to you for 45 years.
[00:02:01]  Don't try to even, you know, do the best you can.
[00:02:04]  Go to the people you can go to and straighten it up.
[00:02:07]  But if people ever do you wrong or they say anything against you, they answer to me.
[00:02:14]  So if they don't make it right now, they will answer to me.
[00:02:17]  And that needs to be a release to a lot of people maybe here or you watching is just realize, wait a minute, there's things I can't straighten that.
[00:02:25]  Like if you've gone through a divorce, you cannot always go to your ex-husband.
[00:02:29]  You have legal papers you've signed.
[00:02:31]  You have situations where you've signed where you can't talk to someone.
[00:02:34]  Okay.
[00:02:34]  So that makes it impossible for you to do something that maybe you wanted to do.
[00:02:39]  Okay, so you can't do it.
[00:02:40]  But then you have to go back and say, no, Lord, you saw the situation and you know it.
[00:02:44]  I'm turning this over to you for judgment.

=== Telling of a Loose Spirit (00:54) ===

[00:02:46]  So what you have to do is get your heart right.
[00:02:50]  You've got to keep your spirit pure.
[00:02:51]  You've got to stay clean.
[00:02:53]  You have to do it so that you are released from it, right?
[00:02:56]  You're released from it.
[00:02:58]  And let the other person have to answer and deal with it, you know.
[00:03:02]  And I'm just telling you that there's a spirit on the loose that is going after individuals in churches, pastors, ministers, evangelists, ministries.
[00:03:13]  It's a spirit.
[00:03:14]  It is a demonic spirit.
[00:03:16]  And I just call the body of Christ to be very, very discerning.
[00:03:20]  Let me say something.
[00:03:22]  Here's a man who knows.
[00:03:24]  And I'm telling you because I know backline stories that they lied on.
[00:03:30]  There were absolute public lies told on this man that really other people did.
[00:03:37]  And he took the blunt for it.
[00:03:39]  And that's the God.
[00:03:40]  And you know what?
