But let's get into Scripture. Let's get into Scripture. You know, let's get into Scripture. Let's get straight into one Corinthians chapter 12, verse one, through to the end of verse three. And I feel sorry for the pagans tonight because you're wasting your time in the summer Equinox up at Stonehenge jumping in and out fires, and doing whatever you want to do. Because the scriptures are allowed and clear. And it's very interesting where we sit spiritually in the world at this moment. You know, we've had the pagan festival, we've got all the things that are happening in the world of witchcraft, the covens that are operating at this moment and all the stuff that is going on. But I've just got to say this to all those witches to all those pagans to all those devil worshipers it has been canceled out at the cross of Calvary you can dance and shout all you like, but nothing is going to happen because if you are a child of the living God, you are blood wash, you are sanctified and you are just looking at stones the devil has no power. The devil has no authority the devil has no press on your life whatsoever. Yes, there might be spiritual activity on the outside but the church, certain ministries, certain areas of ministry have been given the devil far too much AirPlay than he should have had. Because it is hot out it is finished. It is over and the crew Cross finished everything. We will look at the Scripture and we will see very, very clearly it is finished. It's finished at the cross. Yes, I understand people are coming from the cultic world, people in the occult world, I understand that I see that yes, you might think it's strong. Yes, it has some spiritual strength, but it is, and it has no power than God. And I will say this very bold, then God allows it to be because God allows everything to happen. So it is only and it can only do what God allows it to do. Now, we have to be very careful of the word spiritual warfare. Spiritual warfare in the Pentecostal movement and within the church has been given far too much time being given far too much time. Because when we give it a lot of time, spiritual warfare, really we are looking into the darker things when the darker things are being canceled out, because of the cross of Calvary, when actually all I need to do is to keep my eyes on the author and perfecter of my faith. There is a lot of occultic activity out there. There is a lot of witchcraft, black magic, there is pagan this worship going on right now you've only got a if you could fly a drone from here all the way over to stone and you'll see him jumping in and out of fires and worshipping foreign gods and worshipping the rocks and everything that goes on but the stones are dead and they are finished. And there is no power of it because the Scripture tells us this very clear, very, very clearly that Christ disarmed the powers and the authorities at the cross of Calvary. So why should I keep giving it more AirPlay more time? It has been ramped up it has been charged up it has been elongated it has been given too much AirPlay when the scripture in many places tells me that the devil's work is finished. Yes, there is on the outside of peripherals. Yes, it is out there. Yes, I understand. I'm not saying that it does not exist. But what I must say very loud and clear. It has no power over you. If you are a believer in the God of Israel. If you are a believer in the God of Israel, you understand where the scripture says Christ disarm the powers and the principalities at the cross of Calvary. So it is really important the scriptures again, I'll repeat the scriptures. We are coming into the book of one Corinthians chapter 12. And it starts off in a couple of moments as I read one Corinthians chapter 12. Then we will be going over to the book of Romans, Romans chapter eight, and also into the book of one Corinthians chapter 12. And also let me flick it back to Colossians as well, chapter two, but I'll give the reference in a moment. But this this is interesting because where we sit tonight, the summer solstice, the longest day yesterday, pagan worship devil worship worshiping idols worshipping stone, there is nothing new under the sun. We see this through the great prophet at the base of Mount Carmel, where he was he was goading them that great prophet, Elijah, that great prophet, that man of God that prayed for rain, and it rained, he prayed that the rain would stop for three years or so. And the heavens held the rain. You know, he built an altar, he told the foreign gods he told the false prophets. Let's build to otters. Let's see who God's got what God is going to show up today. And we know for the Old Testament, what God showed up and done amazing mazing miracles in front of the false prophets, the idols, and in front of the foreign gods, there is only one God and His name is the God of Israel, He is the King. I understand what the scripture says there are sons of gods, but they are not the God and they do not have the powers and the authority that our God has our God created all things. Spiritual Warfare only has the amount of power that I allow it to have in my mind, because the devil's work has been crushed, because of the cross of Calvary. So spiritual influence can come from the mind, spiritual influence can be whipped up within within the atmosphere of wherever I may be. Now, I understand very clearly how powerful witchcraft is I understand about black magic. I understand about that. I've seen it I understand the occultic world. But the more I seek Him, the more I understand his word, the more I realized the less power that it actually has. And what happens is, it's the worshipers of the devil because that's where it all comes back to every foreign god that is lifted up comes back to one place and it comes back to worshipping Lucifer Lucifer. Lucifer, it's over. It's done, it's finished because the scriptures have been fulfilled. And God is with you. If you feel that you have spiritual attack on your life, if you feel that you are being oppressed, or you are being attacked in any way, shape or form, I will suggest this to you that you will just hold your place where you are in this world at the moment I say, Father, in the name of Jesus, the Bible tells me that Christ the Messiah, the Savior of the world, disarmed the powers of all the authorities, all the powers in the dark realms because of the cross of Calvary, Father, will you give me the mind of Christ because the mind is the place where the battles belong. The battles need to be removed from the mind the battle is in is in the mind, the mind is a very dangerous place. Satan can't get in Satan, and these agents can't get in and attack your heart, they will mess with the thinking because they use visuals visuals is the way there is so much in spiritual warfare. But the more I walk with Christ, the more I understand, the more I look at Christ, the more it makes me laugh and realize the amount of hours and the amount of weeks and days I have literally wasted in and praying over the devil's activities. When really, it was dead. It was finished. It was buried because of the cross of Calvary. But the church and ministry and ministers want to give deliverance more time than they actually want to give Christ if I would give Christ every thought, every area and take every thought captive. I wouldn't even be thinking about deliverance ministry, I wouldn't even be going down that road, because I understand the power of the cross in Christ Jesus. See, there is power in the name of Jesus. All I need to worry about is, as the scripture says, is to work out my salvation with fear and trembling. If he was, if you could see now if your eyes could jump up right over to all the places the satanic places that are worshipping foreign gods at this moment, there is no power in them stones, those stones at Stonehenge, you can dance as much as you like around the stones. You can jump up and down, you can do whatever you are going to do. But I can assure you, the God that I serve will crush those stones. And actually, those stones have been crushed at across a Calvary, because the Bible tells me they are just a monument to what was that had no power anyway, there is no power in the stone. It is in the mind. It is in the thinking. It is in the adrenaline rush. It is in the building up. The devil's work is defeated. And the scripture says the devil is under our feet whose feet is younger, he's under the believers feet. We are the head and not the towel we are above and not beneath. We are blessed and highly favored wonderfully and fearfully made. I've started to realize I don't need to keep talking about deliverance. The reason I'm in this scripture tonight is purely because God has led me to the scripture, and purely because of where we sit in the summer Equinox started last night that's for a few days and a few hours of the sunlight, whether worshiping foreign gods and all that but then foreign gods have no power. Because the Bible tells me it was crushed, it was finished at the cross of Calvary. So what you are doing is just very theatrical performance. I can see you now dressed in your white robes and you drew drew an outfit with your flowers in your head, jumping in and out of fire and doing all this ritualistic stuff that has no power and I can take you to the Old Testament, any pagans, any witches, go straight to the Old Testament, and look of that man of God that made something so powerful and so clear. The book tells us in the Old Testament that Elijah, Elijah did the prophets he laughed at them, and he go did them on come on slash yourselves even more. Where is your God? And he laughed in the face of the prophets at the base of Mount Carmel. Very interestingly, they made to idle two balls to two idols and he said You go first. He said, I tell you what you call down fire. Let's do a sacrifice. And they started dancing. They started slashing their wrists they started drawing blood 450 False Prophets of bow bow worshipping is dead, It is finished. It is over. It is just rituals. It has no power whatsoever because the cross of Calvary has smashed as destroyed the Lucifers work yes there is external oppression but it cannot. Let me remind you if you are a believer, it cannot come there. You're 10 No Tom will before you 1000 To your left hand 10,000 To your right hand, but it will not come there your 10 you will only observe with your eyes when you are covered and blood washed in the blood of the Crimson Tide of Calvary of the Messiah of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. The devil's work is crushed because of the work of the cross of Calvary, because the scriptures have been fulfilled. And if he was to study the book, and use to look at Elijah, they made two altars identical. And Elijah said to them, I'll tell you what, the I had this altar to my God, the God of Israel, I'll tell you what we're doing on this one, we will dig a trench around it we will saturate in water, we will soak it so the wood is soaked. And we understand through logic and science you cannot capture fire. Wood cannot be caught a light when it has an IT has been soaked in wood, he said get barrels of water and pour it on this altar. So it will not catch light and the false idols, the idols of bow and Jezebel and everything that was all caught in that false idolatrous worship. They slashed their hands, their rest their arms, they was dancing, they were screaming, and they were shouting. And this is where self harming comes from. Very interest in self harming has a demonic influence. Now, when we look at this text very clearly, Elijah said, Where is your God? Where is this God, he is not around. They done everything that they had done, and they had exhausted themselves. Elijah prayed, God, let fire for fire fell from heaven. And the Scripture said it consumed the fatted calf. It consumed the stones, it put the stones to dust, it consumed the water, and everything that was on that altar was burned to dust. Hallelujah. There is only one God. And his name is the great I AM. Now let's turn to the Scripture. I just have to say sorry to the pagans tonight because you're wasting your time. You are wasting your time serving those fake foreign gods. Because the work that you think is going to happen was crushed at the cross of Calvary. You can put as many flowers in your hair, you can dress up in what the jury is doing what you're doing. And I am being completely respectful. And I clearly understand what and how it works. But it doesn't work. It has no power. It has no authority, authority, it is finished, it is broken, because of the cross of Calvary has taken place and the blood of Christ has washed and Christ made a spectacle and He disarmed. So there was a time when there was some authority, but he this armed disarming means something so clear, has no power. It is all show. It is all dance. It is all noise. It is very theatrical, and it has no power. It is gone. It is finished. Worship Lucifer do what you like blood sacrifices. He goes on we understand what goes on in temples. We understand about sacrifice, we get that. But you will not call you will not find a foreign god that will answer your prayer because they have been crushed under the cross of Calvary, the blood the Crimson Tide has come through and Christ has saved and disarm the powers and principalities. Yes, the Scripture says Put on the full armor of God. Yes, the Scripture says in Ephesians be ready be prepared. But the battle belongs to the Lord. And the battle has already been won. So I haven't even got to put the gloves on what I got to do it just praise the God of Israel. I just got to glorify the King of kings and the Lord of lords because it has been one it has been. There is victory I should say because everything has been disarmed and there is no separation. You can never be snatched back and take them back because he was already bought with a price before any authority and any foreign existence come in. I understand the power of the Old Testament. I understand what the Scripture says about spiritual warfare. But if you are a believer, you are covered in the blood. So it takes you out of the equation. It takes you out of the realm because the battle belongs to the Lord and the battle was won at Calvary. The battle was crushed under the cross account Calvary, the battle has been done, I don't need to fight, all I got to do is praise the name of Jesus, I understand. And I realized what was how there could be, and the possibilities. But if I am a true believer, the devil's work has been crushed because of the power of salvation and predestination, you are saved, you have nothing to worry about in Christ, you have nothing to worry about this world because the world is doing what the world is doing. Because the Bible has already told us look at what the devil said to Christ, when Christ showed up on the other side of the lake, what are you going to do with us, they have no authority over the greatest name in heaven and earth. If you find that is some spiritual realm, if you find there is some spiritual activity going on, that's making you feel uncomfortable, what have I got to do? I've just got to say, at the name of Jesus, Get behind Me, Satan, it is written. The Scripture is loud and clear. I don't need to go and find a preacher telling me about deliverance, I've got the Word and the Word says, The devil is work is finished, he is crushed. And the devil is under my feet in the name of Jesus, the devil is under our feet, at the name of Jesus, the blood has cancelled everything out. So I need to be careful. In the time in which I live, I don't get scooped up in all the activity. That's the spiritual activities high. Everything is going on, as the scripture tells us, but I will not engage in that. I do not need to worry about that. Because the Bible has made a very clear cut word and for the processing of the Bible, that that is not my territory, I don't need to engage in spiritual warfare, because the battle has already been won. And the Bible says in the Old Testament, and God says to the Israelites, he says to them, I will be an enemy to your enemy. So who is the enemy to me, Satan. So who will God oppose Satan, who did God crush at the cross cross the Calvary, Satan, whose work is finished, Satan whose work is crushed because of the blood and everything that has been done through the Scripture, Satan, that there might be activity out there, there might be spiritual influences out there, there might be sons of God, there might be foreign gods, but they cannot touch me, not because of my arrogance, not because of who I think I am. But because I know who I am. And I have an identity in Christ as a son of the living God. So if I am a son of the living God, the only way that I will become wayward is not because of spiritual influence from the dark side, because my flesh, and I've made a bad decision in life. It's that simple. But we give too much AirPlay to the devil. The washing machine is broke down. All the devil has messed around the Telly is not working tonight, the devil is in the internet, we are giving him too much authority through our lips, when actually it's finished. It's crushed at the cross of Calvary. Let's just see what the scripture says. Let's turn to the Word of God. Whatever I say to you look at the Scripture. See what the scripture says the devil's work is completed. It completely finished it is over it is gone. It is it has been ripped away and torn away by the cross of Calvary. Let's say Come on. Let's turn let's turn I've had a bit of a ramble. I'm sorry, pagans. I've got to read this. I'm sorry. This brings it into this. What I love about this scripture, it will speak very loud and clear. One Corinthians chapter 12. One Corinthians chapter 12, verse one through to the end of three it says, And now about the spirit, the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagan? So the Bible talks about pagans. You know, when you was a pagan, it says when he was a pagan, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray, by what dumb idols, clear. One Corinthians chapter 12, verse one through two, and it says, Therefore, I wanted you to know that the one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says Jesus because crucified so curse, whatever translation reading from and it says, No one can say Jesus Lord, except by the Holy Spirit, there is power in the name of the Holy Spirit. You know, keep rambling. Thank you, my brother keep rambling. Well, let me tell you this again, the pagans are wasting their breath and their energy you might have gone lay in the field, pack up your tent, get back in your campervan and come back home and get back to work. Don't keep gluing your Self to the M 25. and doing all that sort of stuff saved the planet because my Bible tells me something so different to what you are trying to draw me in. So you can be up stone and you can be worshipping your foreign gods, you can be doing whatever you want to do. It has no power, because the word of God has spoken and it says to dumb idols, dumb, dumb idols finished over, gone, absolutely finished. Now let's turn now let's see what the scripture says. Let's read a little bit more. This is not what I say this is what the scripture says. It's very loud and clear, turn to one. Let's go to the book of to Colossians Colossians chapter two, verse 13. He says, You were dead in your sin and in your uncircumcised, cision of your flesh, but God made you alive. Verse 13, of chapter two of Colossians Colossians chapter two, verse 13. It says, You were dead in your sins, and in your uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave you all your sins, and has canceled the charge of the legal indebtedness which stood against you our assets, it says and condemned US. Then he says, he has taken it away. Now due to the cross. And has this armed someone tell me loud and clear that I'm reading this correctly. In verse 14, it says and 15 Now that to the cross and having this armed, the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing them over the cross, one triumph, one sacrifice once and for all. So regarding black magic regarding Weegee bolds regarding regarding the dreads regarding pagan worship, regarding witches that has that has some spiritual influence, but it only has the influence that Christ allows it to have. It has no real power, the Prophets the prophets of bow, they had no power because nothing was happening. Look at what happened very clearly in the Old Testament, nothing happened. The only area we see power and influence was through the sons of gods, the sons of Gods than the phillium that was living at the time, of when no one made the ark. And when we understand the power, the Fallen angelic, from the Fallen angelic realm, we understand that they fell, and how they created a community. But they needed they needed the flesh they needed human beings to, to, to bring it into being it has no power, it has no power, please believe in the word of God, you are saved, you are blood washed, there is no satanic oppression on you. That is and can be greater than the living God. I got to be careful of my mind, I gotta be careful on my focus in, I gotta be careful of my thinking, I've got to be careful of my understanding, the gates of hell shall not prevail. Christ is building his church, even the foreign gods tremble at the name of Jesus. Let's, let's think about that scripture. Let's think about that scripture. When Christ came across to the gerund scene, when he came over to the other side of the lake when he when he got out of the boat, and he was he was walking on the shoreline, and he was in the gara scenes. And the two demonic forces that that was that was in the realms of then two men came up to Jesus, they come up to me and says, What are you going to do with us? What are you going to do with us it is better that you throw us into the, into the herd of pig, it is better for you to do that. See, demons know that the power of God created them a very interesting, a very deep, a very wide subject that we have no power to unpack tonight. But I want you to know, the demonic forces tremble at the greatest name on heaven and earth. God said, I have given my son bit of paraphrasing going on him. God said I've given my son, the authority. All things were created through Him for him and by him whether things in heaven or things on Earth, whether the things in the spiritual realm or whether things in the physical realm or things were created through Him and by him. So when I look at this when I look at look, we're not when I say when I look at Lucifer, I don't look at him in any way, shape or form because I realize that it has no power it has no effect. It His words it is empty words, it has no authority, because I am a son of the living God. I am a child of the living God. I was bought with a price I was redeemed, and I can never be handed back that the war is over. I am saved, I am blood washed, I am sanctified. All I've got to worry about is I make sure I follow the word of God. I haven't got to worry about demonic forces, because he's been crushed across the Calvary. I haven't got to keep jumping around the UK and going oh my gosh, I'm under satanic oppression. Oh my goodness gracious me. The devil is chasing my tail. Hang on a minute. No, it's the other way around. I carry in the name of Jesus. So you're gonna get out of my way. In the name of Jesus, I am blessed and highly favored. I am a child of the living God, I am filled with the Word of God, I am saved, I am blood washed, I am sanctified, I carry the great I Am because the Bible tells me greater is He that is in me then he that is in the world. Now get out of my face, actually get back under my shoes. Because the Scripture says under my feet, I will crush you under my feet. I am able to tread upon the line the cobra, the scriptures are loud and clear. I don't need to put on the gloves of spiritual warfare. I don't need to get another prayer diary and chant. Now I've got to be very careful in the world of praying, because I gotta be careful. Don't get caught in the praying and becoming and getting in a trance. And getting in that euphoric position, in that you could say into that Jezebel spirit. Yes, there are spirits there are agents but they can't touch you. If you are a born again, spirit believer in God, because you are saved, you have been bought with a price and Christ don't need to wrestle. And Christ don't need to defend because God is for you. If God is for me, who can be against me. Now this is not about arrogance. This is not about being arrogant and being disrespectful. What this is about is understanding who I am in God or who you are in God, you are a son, and you are a daughter. And you have the authority, because Christ lives in you and you are free. What is the biggest thing that we need to be freed from is the temptations of the flesh. We might have addictions in our lives, we might we might be and we may have been brought up in a certain culture. That is a very heavy culture that has its own cultural trends. They've got to be broken. I've got to be careful that I don't get catapulted into that spiritual language and that spiritual hype, and I get catapulted over into that other area that I shouldn't even be in where my mind has taken me over there. Because the Bible says Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author, the perfecter of your faith, Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. If I just keep seeking Him and praising him. The spiritual entities that are out there, yes, yes. Oh, yes, they might kind Trump won't come on night might try and come up and tempt and look and try and draw but they have no power over you. Because you are redeemed. If I am truly redeemed, I have been bought, and I am in the Kings domain. The Bible says go into all the world preach and to teach. the fivefold ministry is go into all the world, you are carrying the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost, there is no room when you got the Trinity for any other spiritual activity other than the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. If I believe in the Bible, I will clearly understand this what the scripture tells me very clearly, as the two men that were demon possessed, seeing demonic forces need a vehicle. They need a vehicle of a human being. Now don't get worried and don't start panicking. If anyone has been dabbling in the occult world if anyone was brought up in the occult world that is broken when you become a believer, and you do not become a believer because I'm sorry you want to become old a devil murmee Bible study on his in the room here we go. You know what a big what we got to be careful of something very careful really careful on this point is that if we have come from the demonic activity, and we've all come from a form of ungodly worship, we can all be put into the category of pagans we can all be put into different categories very loud and very clearly because the Bible says when you was a pagan, but when there is a coming over, I do not bring myself over because I am not able to bring myself over who brings me He over Christ brings me over. Christ says me, the word sets me free. And when I am a believer, I suddenly start understanding that when I am saved, I am saved, and that is it. But the Bible then starts to come alive. But there has to be a transformation. But the only way a transformation can happen is when Christ, my body starts to be transformed. You've only got to look at Saul, Saul on the Damascus Road, he had no intention of being a Christian. He had no intention of being a churchgoer. He had no intention of serving the God of Israel. He wanted to destroy Christianity, or what we should say we bring it up to the biblical language is that he wanted to destroy the following of those that belong to Christ. He thought that he had more power and authority than the God of Israel, but he met the creator of heaven and earth, on the Damascus Road, and the voice from heaven. God did not knock him off that horse with physical force. God said, so So why do you persecute me and the power of God's voice, the power of authority, knocked him off that horse and he fell to the floor. It stopped him in his tracks. It closed his eyes, it shut down his physical function in certain areas of his body. No one can mess with God. The church is certain churches, certain denominations are messing very dangerously with Scripture. And they are introducing and they are walking down the road of pagan worship worship. There are many demonic denominations. Tonight, the Mughals will pack up your tent and go up to Stonehenge because what they're doing up there is the same as what many and many churches are doing and what we call the fabric of God's building. But this is what has happened. God has exited the building. Oh, yes. The Scripture says in the Old Testament, God gave clear instruction, about making and creating Solomon's temple, he gave clear instruction of how to construct that temple, and the Spirit of God and the glory of God and the presence of God lived in that beautiful place. It dwelled, it was in everything God's power was in that temple, the cherub bins, the the angelic activity was so strong. But the Bible says God left, the presence of God left that temple, when man came in and brought in his own I dollar troops worship, the Jewish leaders came in and started doing what they wanted to do. God is sovereign, God is all powerful God is just, but God moved himself out of Solomon's temple. And the Bible says, The Spirit and the presence of God went out of the east. Gate, the east exit, he went out the east. When Christ is returning the scriptures theologians say he's coming from the east. Very significant that text in the Old Testament where we sit. Now, when we look at this scripture, I want to encourage you tonight I want, I want all of us to realize that we are believers, we are believers, the Bible says, Christ says, just believe, all authority or power, all glory is within the deity within the Godhead. When you look at creation, and you understand about creation, God created every angel, every cherub, in every atom, every droplet of water, every grain of sand, every area, God created all things, the Psalmist says, Where can I escape from your presence? If I was to die, you will be there. If I was to go to the center of the earth, you will be there. If I was to go to the east, the South, the West, wherever I go, if I was to go to the highest of the highest of heights, you will be there. No one can escape and get on the outside of God. He is on the present. He is on the potent, he's in all he is about all all things were created through Him for him, and by him. He created that Fallen Angel But when He created that Fallen Angel, that angel wasn't fallen, that angel decided to fall himself. When you look at the realms of angelic activity, and the Bible says that when and cry I love the scripture in Luke, I love the scripture where, where Jesus was having that conversation with the audience around him, and he said, I saw, I saw Layton, Layton. He said, I saw Satan fall like lightning, from heaven to earth. The reason Christ, see Satan fall like lightning, because of this very reason, in the beginning was the Word. And the word was What was God and the Word was with God. All things were created through Him, and by Him and for Him. The Scripture says, in John chapter one roundabout, verse 14, John makes a clear, absolute clear, cut choice of what he says through his vocabulary to the audience that was around him, he says, And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. If anyone is a true disciple, or a true believer, if anyone is blood washed and sanctified, and a believer in the scripture from how can I actually honestly without it, how can I believe? How can I allow my mind to go down the route anymore of this satanic activity that is going to absolutely chase me forever in a day. The Bible says that, that we are surrounded by fire. The Bible says that we are sealed. The Bible says that we are washed in the blood. The Bible says that God is for us, if God is for us, who can be against us. The Scripture says, When the devil comes in like a flood, God lifts up a standard he might come in, but God is going to block if we could see the spiritual activity out there. I'm not saying the spiritual activity doesn't exist. But what I'm trying to say is, it has an it cannot get to you. Because you are greater than any dark force that is on this earth. You are greater and I'm not saying you are as in the flesh, let's correct this right now. I'm not saying you are I am as a human beings, what I am saying is he that is in you, and he that is in me. So if he is within me and he is within you, the Bible says very clearly, I am the Father are one. The Bible says that we are grafted in, if you are grafted, if the Bible is true, and I believe what it says and we are grafted in, I cannot be taken out Where Where would I be taken out from? It would basically be saying this, the devil can actually have the power and take me from the kingdom and pull me out. There is no way that can happen. It is impossible. The devil's work is theatrical performance, it is only limited to what can be done, he is performing and it is loud, and it is noisy, and it has no power. What did Jesus do in the wilderness, 40 days, 40 Nights, it is written, it is written, it is written. There is power in the Word of God. So if you find yourself in spiritual engagement, if you find yourself may be in an area of heavy oppression, it cannot attach itself to you because you are chosen and you are washed in the blood of Jesus. You are blood washed and you are sanctified. Let's just have a read of the Scripture. Let's, let's look at what the scripture says. Because this this, this is this is really important, because it's the scripture that makes it come alive, not the human. Being that he's delivering Here's the word. I'm going to backtrack. I'm going to read a couple of scriptures. So I'm going to read from Colossians chapter two, I'm going to I'm going to repeat myself. I'm going to go back over because I want to read the scriptures. So we get this loud and clear. Right Colossians chapter two, you were dead in your sin. You were dead in your sin, and in your uncircumcision of your flesh. God made you alive. Alive with Christ. He forgave us all of our sins having canceled the charge having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness very big, very powerful word very a word that is used in the area of law you know, so when you look at that, that when you look at that very clearly it says it He forgave us of our sins, having canceled the charge of all of our sins having canceled that charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us. He has taken it away. He has taken this away, nailing it to the cross, it is now to the cross the Scripture says, verse 15, of Colossians, chapter two. And having disarmed, I believe that there are many Christians that need to rest in this scripture for a long time. And let your eyes see it, let your ears hear it, read it over your life, read it over your your your house, read it over. Because when you start to read it over, we suddenly start to smile from within. Because I love this scripture. And it says he has taken it away. Now that to the cross. And not only has he now, that legal requirement that was death upon us because of sin, because we lived in the pagan lifestyle in a cultic lifestyle. But then suddenly, God took us out of pagan worship, out of witchcraft out of the world out of whatever, and why we was in that God took us took you took me from whatever it was. And he took us from that, from death to life, from darkness to light, from from the grave, to the kingdom, from darkness to light, God stepped in, and his arm came in from glory. And he picked you up as an individual. And he took you out of the mud and the mire, and he placed you in the glory, and he placed you under the blood, and he put you in His Kingdom. I did not take it myself out of the dark lifestyle. God took me out of the dark lifestyle. God took that person out of the dark lifestyle, God took that person out of the occultic worship, God took that person out of pagan worship. God took that person out of satanic activity, God took that person out of the darkness and putting them in the kingdom. God done it. God done it. Let me read, he has taken it away. Now that to the cross and having disarmed the powers, the powers floored it, the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Let's just go and read again. Let's jump straight back. Let's go to one Corinthians chapter 12, one Corinthians chapter 12, of all the pagans that might just want to listen to this. Give your ears a little bit of a clean out devil worshipers give you a little bit of a clean out because God has taken you from where you are. God has taken you thrum from the situation that you're in, and I'm telling you now God is going to extract many in the last days, the Scripture says in the last days, I will pour out my spirit on all flesh, and God is still redeeming. God is still drawing out God Is still God is up Stonehenge. His presence is removing people from them idolatrous worship them dumb idol worship that is going on. And God is taking them from the dark from the nonsense from the activity that creates nothing, because the Old Testament clearly tells us 400 And more false prophets of bow. Were calling their god down and nothing happened. They done blood sacrifices, slashing their arms, dancing and chanting and screaming. They got in a trance, they got in a trance, and nothing happened. But when Elijah cleared the arena and he coughed step aside a minute. And he prayed fire fell from heaven to earth. It consumed everything. You can imagine Elijah given a little cheeky wink of some of that. It get back to the Scripture. Come on. Come on. Let's get back. One Corinthians chapter 12. One Corinthians chapter 12 verse one, for a couple of readings before we disappear. Go be careful you say things that someone might think I've ever seen transcend. or meditation or I might be having an out of body experience, oh my goodness, what is going on there? That work is finished at the name of Jesus. Now, the Scripture says Now it starts off with a clear understanding of now verse 12. Of sorry, chapter 12 of one Corinthians, one Corinthians chapter 12, verse one. Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed, uninformed, the very interesting way. This writer puts this, don't be uninformed. You know, that when you were pagans, somehow, somehow or others you were influenced and led astray to dumb idols led astray by dumb idols. Right, let's flick over to Romans. Romans chapter eight. I'm going to read from verse 31 of Romans chapter eight. For anyone that might be in distress tonight that might have come from some dark satanic stuff. I'm just want to remind you that you were bought with a price. And a and even I've even got to mention this, even those that have been caught in religion, even in in some denominations, because some denominations have a greater stretch towards pagan and idolatrous worship than they do to the scriptures of Jesus Christ. Very interesting, where a lot of the major religions come from, what are they worshiping? Who do they worship? Are they worshipping idols and statues? We understand that the Bible says, as the angel said, Why are you looking for the living? Among he's not here. He's risen. Why are you looking at stones? Why are you looking at monuments? That is why God buried Moses, the Scripture is loud and clear. And the Bible says, God took Moses, God buried Moses, there was a dispute over his body, with Lucifer, and the chief angelic being, there was a dispute. But actually, when you read the Scripture, it says, God buried him. That is so beautiful that scripture to me, because Moses found God, very clearly at the rock, he struck the rock with anger and frustration, when he should have spoke to the rock. And God said, Moses, I told you what to do, but you broke the faith. God then did not reject Him, God did not did not catapult him out into the, into the universe. The Bible says that there was a dispute over the body of Moses purely because if Moses, his body, could have been placed in this position here, all Israel would have come and the world will be hanging around that grave forever in a day. But God took the body of Moses and no one knows where Moses is buried, because the Bible says God buried him. Powerful staff, God buried his servant, even though he servant found him in the actions that he done. The Bible says that God said, Moses, you have broke the faith, you're broke. What I've told you not to do you have done exactly what I told you not to do. Speak to it. Don't strike it. Obedience is key. Now. I'm going to read this because we're going to we're going to finish we're going to finish. We're going to finish right, here we go. Romans, chapter eight, verse 31. What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He did not spare His own Son, but he gave him up for us all. How will he not also along with him graciously give us all things? Whom will bring a charge against those who God has chosen? interest in it is God who justifies Who then is the one who is condemned or the one who condemns no one Christ Jesus who died more than that, who was raised to life is at the right hand of God, and is also interceding for us. Verse 35, Romans chapter eight, Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship persecution, famine, nakedness, danger or sword as it is written, for your sake, we are facing death all day long, for we are considered to be sheep to be slaughtered. Verse 37, for those that are worried about the dark of things, of the spiritual entities that are out there, but they have no power over your life, because this is glorious. No, in all things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced neither death nor life, nor angels, nor demons. So I recognize the existence because the existence is in existence because God created all things. But even though the angels and the demonic forces exist, they have no power over me. So I don't even need to give them any more thoughts anymore. Because I am not of that world, I am part of the Kingdom of God. I don't need 1000 times to be delivered, I don't need prayed over many more times, I am saved and blood, washed, sanctified, chosen Christ, this arm then powers at the cross of Calvary, because of the blood of Christ. So as I read a little bit further, as we come to a close, it says, For I'm convinced neither death nor life, angels nor demons are the present or the future, not any powers, not any powers, any powers, neither height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ, Jesus, our Lord. Separation cannot happen. But what can happen is mind games, the mind games are the most dangerous things that I can ever engage in the mind, the battlefield, the wasteland, the thoughts, the computing, the the philosophies of life, the thinking, the ticking, the computing, the quantum physics, the science, the test tube of life, the thinking, the the elongated, the trying to get some conception of understanding of creation, the mind and the thinking. Because everything has been crushed because of the cross of Calvary. So let me just remind myself of this, as we say, Good night, something very clear. No, in all things we are more than conquerors through Him, who loves us. For I'm convinced neither death nor life, nor angels, nor demons, neither present nor future, nor any powers, neither height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. You're in. You're in the kingdom. You're chosen. Now, we could go so far tonight, but we're going to finish on this. I knitted you together in the womb, I knew you before the foundation of the world. So before the foundation of the world, and creation of the world, before anything that was here, and is here, and that has been spoken into existence, and everything can only be in existence, because of the power of the God of Israel. So before the creation, and before the fall, and before time, and before existence, and before light was separated. And before any great thinker started to think and before Adam and Eve before, before anything, the Bible says, before the foundations of the world, I knew you. I know you. I knitted you together, I knew every word that would come out of your mouth, before your lips would. And your voice box would create that sentence before that sentence was created through your thinking through your understanding, through your logic and through your tongue and through the movement of your physical being. Before you even pronounce that word, before you even thought that thought I knew that you was going to think that thought because I created you in all things. And you have been created for me and by me for my goodwill and my good pleasure. So you belong to me. I sent my son to die on a cross for you. There was one price, one sacrifice once and for all. And my son made a spectacle through the cross of Calvary to all authorities, all principalities, all dark realms through the cross of Calvary. And he triumphed over all of them is done, it's finished. It's finished. It's over. When Jesus was on the cross of Calvary, when the three nouns of love kept him on the cross, He said, It is finished. The temple curtain was torn into access became possible to the Father, through Christ Jesus. So when I go back to the, to the New Testament, rather into the New Testament, and I ponder and I rest, and I meditate on that scripture, where the two demonic men came up to Jesus, they came up to him and said, What are you going to do with us? They knew what their time and what was going to happen to them. Because there is power in the name of I thank God for your lives. I thank God, that He sent His Son Jesus, to the cross of Calvary, you are blessed, you are chosen, you are saved, you are blood washed in the Crimson Tide. And I pray that wherever you are across this earth tonight, the Christ reveals more to us. Because the more that is revealed, we start to realize that the satanic oppression is not part of the kingdom that we belong to. Because you belong to the God that created all things. It's almost as if we're in this a world that Satan can't get into. Because it's not his domain. He can't get near you 10,000 may fall at your side. Sorry, 1000 that you're right. Sorry, 1000 may fall may fall at your side 10,000 at your right hand, but it will not come near you know, disaster will come there your 10 life has some journeys. Life has some experiences. By think we just need to label it as life, the journey of life, the circle of life, and you belong to the kingdom of God. And I pray tonight that you'll find peace, peace in Jesus. Your house has no demonic activity, because God is with you. God is for you and not against you. God is guiding you and God is leading you. God sent His one and only Son to die upon a cross for you. And God is with your children. God knows your children more than you will ever know your children. God knows everything about you more than you'll ever know or anyone knows about you. Because God created you. So the enemy's work is crushed because of the Calvary that we understand that we study in the Word of God. God bless. Take care stay safe. I've got to get my campervan up. I'm going up to Stonehenge. Have a great night God bless in Jesus name. By the way, I'm not going to stonehenge. God bless.
