Battle For Your Mind
00:03:41

|
| This book is going to give you victory, how to fight and resist something you can't see. | |
| Address that for a minute. | |
| Yes, we are in a war, whether we see it or not, whether we acknowledge it or not. | |
| Ignorance is not bliss. | |
| That's right. | |
| It is not bliss. | |
| It is not bliss. | |
| And we cannot ignore this. | |
| So every day there is a battle. | |
| There's a battle for your finances. | |
| There's a battle for your children. | |
| There's a battle for your mind. | |
| There's a battle for your health. | |
| This is why Christians aren't healthy. | |
| You know, I think the church is emotionally healthy. | |
| Emotionally and physically. | |
| I'm going to go into the physical physically healthy. | |
| Because the devil wants to make us sick. | |
| The devil wants to leave us in emotional bondage. | |
| And we're fighting this unseen war, but one, we don't know how to fight it. | |
| Two, we don't know how to acknowledge it. | |
| And we don't know how to pray offensively. | |
| Okay. | |
| So we're sitting here. | |
| We got to be praying ahead of the attacks. | |
| We got to be speaking out because this is the other thing. | |
| We're praying in our mind all the time. | |
| We're closing our mouths. | |
| We're connecting spirit to spirit. | |
| But what we have to do is we got to be praying out audibly so that the demons hear, so that the devil hears, that we're breaking agreement, that we're taking our authority, that we're praying offensively. | |
| That's the un you know, part of the unseen war. | |
| And so we got to do that. | |
| We got to get people delivered in America. | |
| And the church has got to grow and become together because it's the church that's going to allow us a safe place. | |
| And I want you, you know, you talk about in your book, part of our taking our assignment from God is to be broken. | |
| No, nobody wants to hear that. | |
| Oh, that's Lori's a broken vessel. | |
| I'm a broken vessel. | |
| I'm a vessel thing that we're both doing. | |
| People say, oh, I don't want to be broken. | |
| People want to be a movie star. | |
| They don't explain. | |
| They don't understand it. | |
| And the first thing I like to tell people is you think you're broken because maybe you had some problems or a little bit of depression. | |
| Or, you know, people think they have brokenness. | |
| Well, I've suffered this or I've suffered that. | |
| No, brokenness, putting ourselves on the altar before the Lord. | |
| It's allowing him to root out the gut out. | |
| It's allowing him to put us on the surgery table. | |
| It's allowing him to remove pride, to convict us, to show us where we've been controlling, to show us those negative things. | |
| And I say, you haven't experienced true brokenness until you're like, Father God, as good as this brokenness is and I want it, it's also hard. | |
| Take this cup like Jesus said. | |
| Jesus said, take this cup from me. | |
| And I don't believe that we have had true brokenness until we get to that point where we're like, Father, take this cup from me. | |
| But it is until we get to that brokenness. | |
| You know, people want their prophetic destiny. | |
| Oh, I want to release prophetic words or I want to have this multi-million dollar ministry or I want this or that. | |
| God can't take you there until you put yourself on the altar, until you allow that brokenness to come in, until you root out everything of your flesh and allow the Holy Spirit to dwell in you. | |
| And it isn't easy to allow the Holy Spirit to go. | |
| I always say your innermost being. | |
| Haven't I taught you guys? | |
| I'm like, let him go into your innermost being. | |
| I remember the day this girl was broken. | |
| And remember, she was at Bible school. | |
