Bible Teacher's Warning
00:10:59
|
|
| Welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show. | |
| Today, we discuss unmasking the Jezebel spirit with Joseph Z. Our co-host today is Reverend Mondo de la Vega. | |
| And now, here's your host, Pastor Ricky Baker. | |
| Hello, friends. | |
| You're watching the PTL Television Network. | |
| Welcome to today's episode. | |
| We're honored to have Joseph Z with us. | |
| He is the founder of Z Ministries, an author, broadcaster, Bible teacher, and international prophetic voice. | |
| And I want to say thank you for being on the broadcast. | |
| What a privilege to be with you, brother. | |
| Man of God, it's an honor to have you here in the studio. | |
| For those who are watching right now, they want to know what's happening in Pastor Z's life. | |
| Give us an update on what's happening with your ministry and your family as well. | |
| Oh, man, I'll tell you. | |
| Well, one of the big things, you know, Mondo, one of the big things is this. | |
| We're going to have a grandbaby. | |
| Come on. | |
| My beautiful wife, Heather, and I were so excited. | |
| Our daughter Allison, and she's been here and she loves the show. | |
| And she was here one time, and the audience came running up and all that and stood with the ministry. | |
| But I just got to say, I'm excited about this because for us, you know, my daughter wasn't supposed to live. | |
| She was dead in the womb three days, came back to life when we laid hands on her. | |
| Medical verified. | |
| We had a number of things take place. | |
| So really, having a second generation is a miracle. | |
| So we're thrilled about that. | |
| We're seeing our ministry expand around the world through media. | |
| And we're now on daily television all over. | |
| We're also doing social media everywhere. | |
| And God's just really putting a breath, I believe, on new voices to raise them up and bring in this end time harvest. | |
| Amen. | |
| You know, we love people who love life. | |
| We love people who stand with life. | |
| It's important. | |
| That's why we believe that we are pro-life. | |
| We believe that life begins at conception. | |
| Why? | |
| Because we believe what the Bible says, that it's a separate DNA with a separate calling. | |
| And you have a grandbaby. | |
| You know, the word of God says that there are arrows in a quiver. | |
| And I've heard a grandparent say one time, I can still reach over to that quiver and use those too. | |
| So that's great using their grandbabies for ministry as well. | |
| But what an incredible thing. | |
| You guys are on social media as well, YouTube. | |
| If someone wants to follow you, watch what you're doing. | |
| How would they do that? | |
| Just look us up at Joseph Z on any social media or josephze.com. | |
| And we go live every day, sometimes twice a day, just bringing the word of the Lord. | |
| Amen. | |
| Every single day. | |
| I want to say something because you're on every single day. | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| And I want to tell you something. | |
| I've walked with the Lord close to three decades. | |
| That's almost 30 years. | |
| Yeah. | |
| God has given me the privilege to meet and see and be around a lot of great men of God and women of God. | |
| But there's only two people that I've seen in almost 30 years that God is using like he's using you today. | |
| One of them being Jonathan Kahn. | |
| Oh, he's wonderful. | |
| I love Jonathan. | |
| The second person is you. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's an era type of prophet. | |
| And prophets, every now and then, now everybody calls themselves prophets today. | |
| Sure. | |
| But God chooses prophets for each era as a defining moment of a shift that will take place. | |
| I believe you're one of them. | |
| Wow. | |
| Because you have a word before it happens. | |
| Not 10, 20 years later. | |
| I'm talking about sometimes 24 hours understanding how to interpret the dreams, interpret what's happening. | |
| And very few people understand what that looks like. | |
| That's why I believe this book right here, it's a book that is going to change the trajectory of how you see God using men and women of God. | |
| I really do believe that. | |
| Amen. | |
| We're going to be talking about that book today, The Spirit of Elijah, expose the truth, embracing God's power and breaking the Antichrist spirit. | |
| I want to ask you, what is the Lord speaking to you for today? | |
| I think a revelation is an order. | |
| You know, everybody has what they need in the body of Christ, but it's a revelation of what they have that they really need. | |
| So in other words, I believe the spirit of Antichrist wants to rise. | |
| But we're called to beast proof our future. | |
| Why? | |
| We're called the beast proof of our future because the church is the great restrainer. | |
| And so many people are so concerned today thinking that we're going to see this terrible thing happen, an onslaught of wickedness that's just going to take over society. | |
| But if we knew, Pastor Ricky, Pastor Mondo, if we knew how much we were restraining as the body of Christ, I think we'd get pretty motivated with what we're called to do. | |
| The Lord showed me at the beginning of this year that it was a year that we had to keep striking the ground because we're called to storm Babylon. | |
| And the more that we do this, the more we invade and storm Babylon, meaning the system of hell, the gates of hell, that is not able to overcome the ecclesia. | |
| The more that we begin to do this, the more we lean into what God has for us, the more we're going to push back this wicked, pervert, wicked overlord, lizard agenda back into the ocean where it came from, right? | |
| We're going to push it back into the pit of hell where it came from. | |
| And this is the deception on the church right now. | |
| If things are too small, men fight. | |
| If things are big enough, men will unite. | |
| And the church right now is deciding, are we going to bite and devour one another? | |
| Are we going to stand up and actually say this is too big? | |
| We need to push back the powers of darkness for our children's sake. | |
| And the spirit of Elijah is that. | |
| The spirit of Elijah came on the scene, Ricky, like this. | |
| You know, you got Jezebel and Ahab, and they're doing all kinds of malfeasance and wickedness in the world. | |
| Jezebel and Ahab were two of the worst leaders you could ever have. | |
| Number one, Jezebel straight up was a wedge. | |
| Number two, Ahab is the worst kind of leader because he's gladhanding the prophets at the same time standing with Jezebel. | |
| And then he's murdering the prophets. | |
| And then he's trying to get along with Elijah. | |
| And then he's doing all this stuff. | |
| He's the worst kind of person because if you stand for nothing, you'll fall for everything. | |
| And he's that type. | |
| And so what happens is when wickedness keeps sowing and it keeps sowing and it keeps sowing, eventually wickedness will reap. | |
| Amen. | |
| And what wickedness always reaps is a reformer. | |
| It will always reap a reformation. | |
| And when wickedness keeps doing what it's doing in our culture, it's reaping a reformation. | |
| I believe that's why we saw a moment of God's favor and mercy come on the United States in November. | |
| We saw that happen because I believe the church is the reason we saw that election won. | |
| And I'm not saying it's perfect. | |
| I'm not saying that it's all done and sewed up, but we have a lot of work to do. | |
| But I'm just saying that reformation is coming. | |
| You were talking about this even before we jumped in, Ricky, about reformation that's going to come. | |
| One more good reformation. | |
| I believe that with all my heart because revival is one thing, gentlemen. | |
| Revival is amazing. | |
| That's when the church wakes up. | |
| Reformation is when the church starts waking the world up. | |
| That's right. | |
| It starts saying, hey, you know, greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. | |
| And even if we don't see a global outpouring of worldwide salvation, which the Bible says we won't, we can alter the outcome of nations while we're here. | |
| And I believe the Lord's calling us to do that. | |
| So I'm thrilled about this season. | |
| I believe that the spirit of Antichrist will come walking over, but it's going to go limping back because God Almighty is on us. | |
| And greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world. | |
| The spirit of Antichrist is going to take a knee. | |
| That's right. | |
| You know, how has the Jezebel spirit subtly infiltrated things like our media, our education systems, our governmental basis as well? | |
| How have we allowed this to happen as the church? | |
| Bad teaching. | |
| Just simply bad teaching. | |
| In other words, the only thing worse than no teaching is bad teaching. | |
| So bad teaching is, well, we ought not to be talking about, you know, God wants you to increase. | |
| We ought not to be talking about God wants you healed. | |
| That speaking in tongues, I like to quote a movie, that foosball is of the devil. | |
| You know, they want to go down that road. | |
| And they try to say all these things that really gets a heightened version of intellectualism, and we're losing touch with the spirit of faith that God wants us to move in. | |
| The spirit of faith is the power that brings the world to its knees. | |
| 1 John 5 says, 1 John 5 around verse 4, it says that this is the power we have. | |
| Our faith is the power that brings the world to its knees out of the message translation. | |
| In other words, the cosmos or the system of the world, society will truly fall to its knees at the spirit of faith. | |
| What does that mean? | |
| It means that the body of Christ, knowing who Christ is in them, the hope of glory, begins to stand up and just do what we're called to do. | |
| Move in faith. | |
| Say, no, we're moving that mountain. | |
| No, we're not allowing you to mutilate our children. | |
| No, we're not going to allow all this wickedness to pervade the culture. | |
| We're going to stand up, preach the gospel, be clear-eyed and clear-minded. | |
| So bad teaching comes in because what I've seen, and let me look right at you. | |
| What I've seen in these days is that there's so much in society that wants to intellectualize a revelation, or I'll say it better, institutionalize a revelation. | |
| And when you begin to institutionalize a revelation, what begins to happen is you take something that was living, you take something that had juice on it and voltage in the beginning. | |
| And when that begins to happen, then you see the ineffectiveness come into the church. | |
| So people are worshiping, you know, teaching and intellectualizing things, but they're not moving in cooperation with the Spirit. | |
| And when we move in cooperation with the Spirit, we have raw spiritual horsepower that will push darkness back. | |
| And that applies to the basics of the gospel. | |
| It applies to us enforcing his will on earth as it is in heaven. | |
| And it seems popular today to attack increase. | |
| Popular today to attack faith, speaking in tongues. | |
| You know, the world economic form. | |
| And I know you guys talk about this a lot here. | |
| The world economic form. | |
| You know, we just had the greatest bond villain in our society step down and turned it over to probably somebody worse, right? | |
| You know, are those sharks with laser beams on their heads? | |
| And suddenly you recognize that the Klaus Schwab leader who was a bond villain to the max, and his accent just gives him away, right? | |
| He just begins to say, you need a great reset. | |
| What else does he say? | |
| You eat the bugs or you will own nothing and you will love it. | |
| You've all know a Harari, right? | |
| He comes running out there and he's like, your liberties are over. | |
| They are done. | |
| We're going to put the technology under the skin. | |
| And it's like, dude, eat a sandwich, you know? | |
| But when you look at these two guys together, they're like trying to run the world into the ground. | |
| But one of the things they did is they marshaled two things against the church from the World Economic Forum. | |
| They came out against speaking in tongues and prosperity preaching. | |
| And the reason they came against it is because they know something the church should wake up to. | |
| If the church ever realizes that when we move in the spirit and we can move in God's economy, we'll be the number one superpower in the world, pushing back their wicked agenda. | |
| And I believe we've had a little awakening to this. | |
| Do you guys remember right after the election in November? | |
| Right after the election, there was an eerie silence. | |
| You remember that? | |
| I had people reaching out to me and they said, Joseph, what are they going to do? | |
| What's happening? | |
| And I said, you know, I think darkness didn't think it was going to lose. | |
| I think it thought it was going to win. | |
| I think they thought it had it phoned in. | |
| They thought we're going to cheat the system again. | |
| We're going to do all this stuff. | |
| When they lost, I think the devil was put on his heels. | |
| I think these wicked leaders were put on their heels. | |
|
Unite for a Cause
00:03:01
|
|
| They didn't expect to lose. | |
| So they were trying to calibrate and figure out what they were going to do next. | |
| So the next thing they did is release the drones. | |
| And then they put drones all over the country. | |
| They did all this stuff. | |
| And finally, I believe now they are getting their footing and they do want to come back with a punch. | |
| But the Spirit of the Lord shocked the darkness. | |
| But that is a result of the ecclesia, the church standing up and pushing these things back. | |
| That's right. | |
| You know, it's important as we are members of a body. | |
| We're one body together. | |
| We have unity in this timeframe. | |
| What do we say about, you know, we have, what, thousands of different denominations within our Protestant faith. | |
| And the beauty of it is every single one of them is right. | |
| No, that's my joke. | |
| What do we do to unify the church in this time period? | |
| Because, like you said, if we are not unified, there is no way that we can even fight back. | |
| Well, we're never going to unify over doctrine. | |
| That's never going to happen. | |
| But we will unify over cause. | |
| And I like this definition of cause. | |
| You think about a cause this way. | |
| If you're looking through the blinds of your house and you're looking in the front yard and you see a cat in the front yard, and all of a sudden you look over and coming towards that cat is a rabid dog crawling across the lawn, taking his time. | |
| And you realize, oh, he's going to destroy that cat. | |
| Now, some people, if you're an animal lover, might try to stop that like I would. | |
| Kitty, run for your life. | |
| But the other thing is, now change that same scenario. | |
| You look out those same blinds, same rabid dog, and now your two-year-old child is in the front yard. | |
| And this dog's crawling towards that child. | |
| You know what I would do? | |
| Second Amendment. | |
| Yeah, I wouldn't even, well, I wouldn't even go for a firearm. | |
| I wouldn't even go for a bat. | |
| I'd take that dog on with my hands if I had to. | |
| That is the definition of cause. | |
| When you have cause, you recognize, wow, if things are too small and trite, people fight. | |
| But if things are big enough, we'll unite. | |
| And when you see something that's cause-driven and it's super, you know, serious, then we're going to unite and we're going to take it on. | |
| Amen. | |
| That's what the church needs. | |
| Things that are happening all over the world, I believe God is giving you the gift of understanding. | |
| Because when we watch what's happening in the news, it's hard to really understand what God is. | |
| You can take it all in. | |
| Exactly. | |
| So let me ask you this. | |
| We are watching a conflict exploding into the scenes. | |
| Yes. | |
| The headline right now is the world holds its breath. | |
| That's one headline. | |
| And I'm talking about Pakistan and India. | |
| Yes. | |
| What is God speaking to you about this conflict? | |
| Because I believe, this is my personal opinion. | |
| This is a distraction. | |
| Yes. | |
| What is God speaking to you? | |
| Can I go to the whiteboard to explain that? | |
| Please. | |
| Please. | |
| That'd be great. | |
| I'm going to run over here. | |
| I call it the vision board. | |
| Hallelujah. | |
| Hallelujah. | |
| Let's do this. | |
| Let's act like we know what we're doing for a moment, okay? | |
| So here's what we recognize. | |
| The Spirit of the Lord showed me this last year. | |
|
Year of Fire
00:14:46
|
|
| So I'm going to draw this. | |
| I'm going to draw two circles. | |
| This represents two years, this year and the coming. | |
| So I saw this at the beginning of this year. | |
| So I'll draw this. | |
| And I saw it like this. | |
| I see things in quadrants. | |
| Okay. | |
| So like that. | |
| And I saw this year, this is 2025. | |
| And at the beginning of this year, the Lord showed me that 2025 would be a year of fire. | |
| Okay. | |
| It was going to be a year of fire. | |
| That's what we would see going into this. | |
| And as we go into the year 25, this is January, just so we're clear. | |
| This is July, just so we can all be on the same page. | |
| When you come into this year, I saw that there would be fires. | |
| So then we saw fires breaking out in California because I have this word I've been carrying for some time called Decapolis, 10 cities burning at once. | |
| And again, just so I can predicate this, whenever we share things prophetically and you see difficulty coming, it is never just to align with darkness. | |
| If you see difficulty coming, we don't align with it and say, oh, gonna be bad. | |
| I'm not into that prophetic thing where you give the thousand-yard prophetic stare and say, it's not bad. | |
| It's worse. | |
| Or a storm's coming. | |
| And that's all you leave people with. | |
| That is not the spirit of faith. | |
| Agabis in Acts chapter 11, verse 27, said a famine is coming. | |
| And when he said a famine was coming, the church didn't dig holes, get their ARs, and hold off their neighbors. | |
| Okay? | |
| Does that bless everybody? | |
| But you recognize the church didn't do that. | |
| What the church did is said, we're going to rise up and meet this issue. | |
| And so they sent aid to that area. | |
| And it happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. | |
| Now, let me show you this. | |
| So going into 2025, the Lord showed me that there was going to be fire. | |
| There was going to be a nuclear threat. | |
| There was going to be economic shaking. | |
| There was going to be a shaking up of nations. | |
| I had visions about nukes going off in different places. | |
| And I've been praying about this. | |
| But I saw that if we get past this, this quarter and into this quarter, and we can get here without a nuke going off the leash, that I believe that we'll begin to see the turn of the tide start coming back again. | |
| And the turn of the tide will be this. | |
| It doesn't mean it'll change or get easier. | |
| It just means that I think some of their malfeasance will be turned and we're going to get more footing. | |
| And that is why exposure is coming, and these things are beginning to happen. | |
| So what I see going is if we can keep praying and walking through this, we're going to drift over into, of course, 26. | |
| And when we go into 26, I believe what's going to happen in 26 is going to be the potential for Psalm 126. | |
| Okay? | |
| What we've sowed in tears, we reap with songs of joy. | |
| That there's going to be those who are released from captivity will be like those who dreamed and will come out of this. | |
| And then I began to see like a parallel economy where I saw two things going at once. | |
| And the Lord was showing me that they're going to try and dive the stock market at some point in this whole process. | |
| But in this whole process, I saw it going down, down, and people started to get concerned. | |
| Like, what are we going to do? | |
| But then I saw the Spirit of the Lord bringing it up and bringing it around and saying, I'm going to work something out in a parallel way with the economics on a global scale. | |
| And I believe that means two different types of economy are going to start happening. | |
| And when the Lord begins to do this, we're going to see the goodness of God in the land of the living. | |
| And the Lord said, when they start to shout, oh, no, oh, no, oh, no, remember, I've reserved wealth of the wicked for the righteous in the last days. | |
| They're storing it up for themselves, but the Lord's saying it will shift over to my purposes. | |
| And that's part of that great reformation, I believe. | |
| Now, in this whole picture, what we're seeing right now as we're live and we're taping this and we're doing what God is having us do, there is this conflict rising between India and Pakistan. | |
| You're seeing this happen. | |
| But I got to tell you, all the things we're seeing on a global scale that are really wicked and they're trying to bring fear and nuclear activity is absolutely a smokescreen because these wicked elites know that information is going to drop and drop again and drop again. | |
| And they've got to do anything and everything they can to offset their exposure. | |
| And so that's what's really going on there. | |
| And they are willing to even go nuclear if that's necessary to offset things. | |
| So that's what we've got to pray against because that absolutely could happen. | |
| But I believe the Spirit of the Lord will continue to work with us if we stand in faith with him and we can push this back. | |
| Wow. | |
| Amen. | |
| Wow. | |
| Amen. | |
| I want to tell you something. | |
| If there was ever a moment where we need the spirit of Elijah, it's right now. | |
| It's this moment. | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| I've never seen, I don't know if you guys have, have you guys ever seen this type of atmosphere all at once? | |
| This is the key to Bible prophecy is when everything starts shifting and suddenly and things converge all at once. | |
| At once. | |
| We've never seen this before. | |
| We haven't. | |
| America has never seen this before. | |
| Ricky, in your lifetime, 27 years, you haven't seen this. | |
| No, no. | |
| And every generation has seen signs of the end time, but we're truly the first generation that has seen the culmination of all the signs hitting at one time. | |
| Yes. | |
| Every one of them has seen some wars, some rumors of war, some nations, some famines. | |
| But we are the first generation who are seeing all of them. | |
| It's like the arrowhead is finally hitting its point. | |
| What can the church do today? | |
| Well, the most potent people in the world are praying grandmothers. | |
| Come on, amen. | |
| Praying grandmothers are savage, man. | |
| They shut down darkness. | |
| They cause life to happen. | |
| And let me just say to you right now, I want to look right at you in Jesus' name. | |
| I begin to speak the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living over you, that God is calling you. | |
| If you're afraid, that is not the spirit of faith. | |
| You're focusing on the wrong things. | |
| Do not focus on the wrong information. | |
| Do not focus on what the world has to say. | |
| Don't listen to the 10 spies, you know, media report. | |
| You got to listen and not the false prophets of Baal's media report. | |
| You can glance at Goliath, but gaze at God. | |
| And the Lord wants you to stand up in faith and begin to rise and shine at this time. | |
| Listen to me. | |
| God is your provider. | |
| He's going to take care of you. | |
| He's not only going to take care of you. | |
| He's going to multiply you under the yoke of bondage. | |
| What do I mean by that? | |
| Isaiah 10, 27, it's so clear. | |
| It says the anointing destroys the yoke, but that comes in three phases. | |
| The anointing first lifts the yoke off the shoulder 30-fold. | |
| Then it loosens it off the neck, 60-fold. | |
| And then ultimately, the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing. | |
| What does that mean? | |
| Means you outgrow containment. | |
| You outgrow containment and capacity and all that, and you will break everything that's trying to hold you. | |
| This is the word of the Lord to the church right now. | |
| Come back to faith. | |
| Begin to open up your eyes to the word of God. | |
| Read the Bible until it starts talking back to you. | |
| Get involved where you can, what you can, as you can, and God's going to wake you up and you're going to begin to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. | |
| The Antichrist may come walking over, but that spirit will go limping back. | |
| Amen. | |
| Wow. | |
| Jesus. | |
| Wow. | |
| That word. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Amen. | |
| I received that word from you. | |
| Come on. | |
| Listen, in order to keep this program on the air, what we've done is create an affiliate program with the publisher Nori Media to make this book available to you. | |
| In years past, it used to frustrate me that you couldn't get your books until six weeks later. | |
| That maybe it didn't frustrate you. | |
| It frustrated us. | |
| Today, you order the book, and immediately that book is in your home. | |
| I want you to go to the website or give us a call right now, 1-888-988-1588. | |
| I was privileged to write a little something there. | |
| I don't know what they call it. | |
| They call it an endorsement. | |
| Endorsement. | |
| Thank you, Mondo, for that. | |
| What do they call it? | |
| The only guy that wrote a book can't even say what I wrote. | |
| You know, whatever. | |
| Oh, God does some strange things when he calls you. | |
| But I want to tell you something. | |
| I wrote an amazing endorsement, not because it was amazing for me, amazing because this book is life-changing. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |
| I believe that when you come in contact with the book, the revelation of understanding what's happening is going to hit you right away. | |
| Listen, get the book today. | |
| This is how you support Nori Ministries. | |
| I call them ministries, but they're a book publishing company. | |
| But they're blessing you and they're blessing this ministry. | |
| And I want to tell you something more than ever. | |
| We got to be united in the front because why? | |
| You know, ministries today, the way you raise money today, it's not the same as it was 20, 30 years ago. | |
| We have to come up with creative ideas to do that. | |
| And one of the things that God showed us was to create sponsorship, to create affiliate programs where we're not begging anymore. | |
| Christians, we got to stop begging for God's blessing. | |
| I believe that when you speak faith, God releases the anointing for the giving. | |
| That's it. | |
| Come on. | |
| We got to start believing. | |
| When we get in God's economy, God wants us to win more than we do. | |
| He really does. | |
| You know, God's not invested in us failing. | |
| He wants us to win. | |
| It's a win-win. | |
| It's a win-win. | |
| Oh, you know where I learned that? | |
| My mentor, Dr. Gary Smalley, God bless him. | |
| He's in heaven today. | |
| But he said, every conflict can be won if you have a win-win mentality. | |
| They win, you win, and things get resolved. | |
| Well, guess what? | |
| When you give, you give us the opportunity to preach. | |
| And when we preach and you give, souls get won. | |
| That's just it. | |
| The Bible says, he that winneth souls is wise. | |
| Is wise. | |
| You know, the more people sow, the more we go. | |
| And God's called us to do that. | |
| And I'll tell you, when you do this, you're getting in God's economy. | |
| I think, you know, a lot of people talk about giving and all that stuff, but, you know, a lot of people say the phrase, you cannot give God. | |
| But most people never try. | |
| And if you would actually try and you lead into that, I'll tell you what, God would become responsible for your future. | |
| And you're sowing into your future. | |
| And I just think that's so possible. | |
| Call today. | |
| Get the book. | |
| I've always challenged you to get the Baker's Dozen. | |
| I love Bible studies. | |
| Bible studies changed my life. | |
| It was the foundation of my Christian walk is to be around men and women where we gather and we talked and we read books. | |
| And then what happened was it got very practical. | |
| And we implemented the teachings of the books outside of the Bible, of course. | |
| God has given us great tools. | |
| Start a Bible study. | |
| Quit gossiping. | |
| Quit trying to figure out what they're doing wrong. | |
| Figure out what God wants to do. | |
| Because when you get into a Bible study moment, there's an anointing in that. | |
| And I want to tell you something. | |
| If there was ever a book I recommend, it's this one right here. | |
| The Spirit of Elijah. | |
| Expose the truth. | |
| Embrace God's power. | |
| Ooh, I love that. | |
| Come on. | |
| Break the Antichrist spirit. | |
| That's right. | |
| Amen. | |
| Do it today. | |
| 1-888-988-1588. | |
| Amen. | |
| We began this broadcast talking about the spirit of Jezebel. | |
| Yes, sir. | |
| How can someone recognize that in their life, in their community? | |
| And how can we ensure that we don't fall prey to that? | |
| Well, let's first and foremost say this. | |
| You know, a lot of people, they misclassify the Jezebel spirit or they try to point at people or the worst ones who get hit the hardest are typically pastor's wives. | |
| And pastor's wives are heroes. | |
| And so a lot of times people say that or you have a Jezebel spirit. | |
| Well, first of all, the Jezebel spirit's not gender related. | |
| It has nothing to do with that. | |
| There's some men with that. | |
| Yeah, there's some guys, you know, some supple-wristed guys that might have that. | |
| So you recognize that. | |
| But here's the thing about it, though. | |
| The Jezebel spirit is because there was a woman named Jezebel and Jesus himself said that there was a woman in the church named Jezebel in the book of Revelation. | |
| So when you look at that, you see that functioning. | |
| What did it do? | |
| It wanted to be called a prophet. | |
| It wanted to have complete control over the voice of God and people just really aligning with that spirit, controlling, making sexual activity normal in the church, trying to do all these things that would control the culture and dominate out of fear and suppression. | |
| If you're being exposed to that, you'll see a heightened level of sexual activity. | |
| You'll see a heightened level of people that are feeling domineered by something and they're afraid to stand up. | |
| And you see that type of spirit, it intimidates you. | |
| It out communicates you. | |
| You're not able to stand up against its ability to communicate. | |
| But what you can do is you just stand up in a reformation, the spirit of Elijah. | |
| It destroys that barrier. | |
| It destroys that voice. | |
| And the same way that God uprooted it in the Old Testament, it'll be uprooted in the New Testament. | |
| Amen. | |
| He sends a Jehu. | |
| Amen. | |
| Yeah, that's how you do it. | |
| Amen. | |
| If somebody's watching today and maybe they're on the fence about giving their life to Jesus and they've watched this program and said, you know what, I want to make sure that I am right with God. | |
| What would you say to them today? | |
| I'd say this. | |
| Let me look right at you. | |
| Jesus loves you and there's nothing you can do about it. | |
| You might as well give your life to him. | |
| You might as well turn, line up with him. | |
| And if you don't feel like you're going to heaven today, you know what? | |
| Trade your life for his life. | |
| Say, Jesus, save me, rescue me. | |
| Or maybe you're born again and you want to come back to God. | |
| He is waiting on you. | |
| He is not in any way pushing you back. | |
| He's drawing you to himself. | |
| God is not mad at you. | |
| He wants you to live, move, and have your being in him. | |
| And he's saying, come home to me. | |
| I have a beautiful and bright future for you. | |
| Maybe. | |
| I feel this for somebody. | |
| Like you move to a location you shouldn't have been to. | |
| You're off track. | |
| And you say, if I wouldn't have done this, I'd be over there right now. | |
| And the Lord's saying, don't worry about it. | |
| You begin to repent, turn. | |
| He will begin to take plan B and make plan B so good, you'll forget there was a plan A. God is so good. | |
| He wants you to live more than you do. | |
| And you're all he has. | |
| You are all he has. | |
| So he is invested in you. | |
| He wants you to win, increase, and live more than you do. | |
| Give your life back to him or give your life to him for the first time. | |
| You simply say, Jesus, rescue me, save me. | |
| I commit my life to you, and he'll do just that. | |
| Amen. | |
| He will do just that. | |
| Friends, if you're at home, open up your Bible. | |
| We're going to read out of 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 58. | |
| It says, Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. | |
| Friends, this is not the time to back off of the message of the gospel. | |
| If anything, it's time to put the pedal to the metal. | |
| It's time to go out and evangelize more than you ever have and talk to people about the goodness of God. | |
| Why? | |
| Because we believe what the Word of God says. | |
| It is the goodness of God that leads a man to repentance. | |
| If you have someone in your life and you're saying, well, I wish they would just repent, be good to them. | |
| Show them the kindness and the goodness of the Lord. | |
| I promise you, the Lord will start molding and working in on their heart. | |
| And the Holy Spirit will do what the Holy Spirit does best. | |
| He'll convict, and he will come, and he will also comfort as well. | |
| If you want to pray that prayer with us, we want to pray it with you. | |
| Call us number, it's 1-8889-881588. | |
| We would love to pray the salvation prayer with you or get back with you. | |
| Or if you don't want to take a call and he wants us to call you back, you can go to ptl.tv. | |
| Pastor, I want to say thank you for being on this broadcast with you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| We're going to film a few more episodes, but until then, friends, if you're going home, if you're coming home, if you're watching this on a lunch break, remember this and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. | |
| God loves you, He really does. | |
| Bye-bye for today. | |
