WEBVTT 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.320 Ezekiel chapter 33. 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:10.000 We'll be reading verse 37. 00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:22.559 And the word of the Lord says, So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel. 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.559 Everybody say watchman. 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.199 Into the house of Israel. 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:36.000 Therefore, thou shalt hear the word of my mouth and warn them from me. 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:42.000 A watchman is set to be able to be a warning. 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:50.640 But it's also to be able to fend off or be able to say the enemy is coming in. 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.560 We gotta be careful. 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:53.920 Watch out. 00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.039 Want to read one more scripture? 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.520 And it's uh Isaiah chapter 21 and verse 6. 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:11.599 For thus has the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.159 And in verse 8, he declares what he sees. 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:17.280 He cries. 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:22.719 Verse 8, and he cried, A lion, my lord. 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:24.959 A lion, my lord. 00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:38.560 I want to preach for the next few minutes, and this will be a very different subject or title, but I want to preach on this subject when the scarecrow don't scare. 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:41.840 When the scarecrow don't scare. 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.159 God is going to bring revelation, but not only revelation. 00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.319 We're gonna have a breakthrough in this place this morning. 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:56.879 And God's going to impact our lives by the power of the name of Jesus. 00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:58.400 Let us pray. 00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.239 Heavenly Father, we thank you. 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.560 You are powerful, you are mighty, you are awesome. 00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.159 There is no other God like you. 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:15.919 In fact, you even looked all over the universe and declared that outside of you there is no other God that saves. 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.479 You are the only saving God. 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:20.879 You are Alpha and Omega. 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:28.960 Father, I ask you, put the devil in his place and let your name be glorified in this house. 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.120 In Jesus' name. 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:32.080 Amen. 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:37.360 Now clap your hands to the Lord and give God a shout of praise. 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:39.439 Praise God. 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.800 Hallelujah. 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.639 Come on, somebody give God a shout of praise. 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.759 Glory to the name of Jesus. 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:55.439 You may be seated in the presence of Almighty God. 00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:10.319 One of the things that I enjoy, and I've talked with Pastor about this, and we kind of share a close passion, and that is I love to cycle. 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.319 I'm a road cyclist. 00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:14.719 And it depends where you're at. 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.680 Some places it can be dangerous. 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.400 Texas is not very friendly to cyclists. 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:23.360 Amen. 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.759 I learned that really quick. 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:33.439 So I try to stick to trails when I cycle in Texas or where there's a pretty big shoulder. 00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.960 I've had some of my most powerful prayer meetings on a bike. 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.240 When I'm climbing a mountain and I'm saying, Lord, just please let me make it. 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:45.840 Let me make it. 00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:46.719 Amen. 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:53.199 And it is not only my exercise, but it's also my therapy. 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.439 I get out, the wind is in my hair. 00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.199 It's just amazing. 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:07.840 But there's a place that I cycle in Fort Worth where it's a trail, and the trail goes on the back side of these homes. 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:17.839 And so you're seeing the uh the gardens of every home as you're going on this back side of the trail. 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.399 And there's always one garden that grabs my attention because it is beautiful. 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.319 It's a beautiful garden. 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:37.199 And in the middle of the garden, uh, whoever is the person that tends to that garden, they have themselves a vegetable garden. 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.000 And it's really nice. 00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:45.759 And in the middle of that vegetable garden, they have a scarecrow. 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:54.639 The last place I would imagine to find a scarecrow would be in Dallas Fort Worth area. 00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:01.199 Just you don't think of Fort Worth and think, oh, they have scarecrows all over the place. 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.079 No, we don't have scarecrows. 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:20.800 And so a couple of weeks ago, it was actually two weeks ago, that I was riding down this road, and I always look for this house because the house is beautiful, the garden is beautiful. 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:36.079 And when I came by, I had to stop and get off my bike, and I was trying to reach for my cell phone to take a picture on time because I realized something. 00:05:51.279 --> 00:06:00.079 And when I saw that, it impacted me because I said, Scarecrow is not doing his job. 00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:07.120 So by the time I got off and I went to take a picture, the birds were already gone. 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.639 I was the scarecrow in that moment. 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.680 I helped the scarecrow with where he was failing. 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:27.199 So I get on my bike and I start heading down, and you gotta understand, as a preacher, a preacher finds things to preach about. 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:36.480 A bag goes flying across the air, and all of a sudden you got a message, the power of the wind. 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.000 Praise God. 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.680 You'll grab any illustration and turn it into a preaching. 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:54.160 And so as I was cycling, I began to ask the question: why does a scarecrow not scare? 00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:00.079 Why is this scarecrow failing at his job? 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:06.800 First of all, we've got to understand what is the purpose of a scarecrow. 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:12.399 First thing is to scare birds away from the crops. 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:24.399 In reality, the scarecrow's enemy are the birds, are the fowls of the air. 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.399 That's his enemy. 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:33.279 And his number one job is to scare birds away from the crops. 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.199 Drive the enemy off so he cannot settle and destroy. 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:51.759 The second purpose is to protect the harvest, to guard what has been planted and growing so the enemy cannot steal or ruin. 00:07:52.160 --> 00:08:02.879 You gotta understand something that what the enemy cannot steal, he'll try to ruin it so that you cannot use it. 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:08.639 Try to destroy it so that you cannot benefit of it. 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:25.040 And the third is to act as a visible deterrent, to stand in clear view so that the enemy knows this property is not unattended. 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.839 That is the purpose of a scarecrow. 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:42.240 When I began to read about the purpose of the scarecrow, it just opened up my mind, and I began to think that's the watchman. 00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:54.480 The watchman's job is to alert, is to be able to be a visual deterrent for whatever the enemy wants to come in and steal. 00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:01.120 The Bible says that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy. 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:03.840 That's his job. 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:06.960 He wants to take everything you have. 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.159 He wants to steal your joy. 00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:13.279 He wants to mess up your family. 00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:25.120 He wants to take your peace away and take your joy away and take your healing away and take your blessing away. 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:27.440 Praise God. 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:37.519 We gotta recognize that there is an enemy that desires to destroy whatever we have. 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:40.240 Praise God. 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:52.080 We can act like the ostrich and put our head in the ground and count one, two, three, all the way up to ten, and hope that the enemy disappears. 00:09:52.720 --> 00:10:02.159 But the moment we pop our head back out, we realize the enemy is still real and he's still after my stuff. 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:03.519 Praise God. 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.159 I wish I had some real folks this morning. 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:07.679 Hallelujah. 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:14.480 Because somebody woke up this morning saying, I'm tired of losing my stuff. 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.320 I'm tired of the enemy messing with my family. 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:26.799 I'm tired of the enemy stealing my joy and stealing my peace and stealing my victory. 00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:33.039 I wish I had somebody that feels that way in this place today. 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.639 Clap your hands to the Lord. 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.080 Watch this. 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:52.720 The Bible, the Bible says in James chapter 4 and verse 7, therefore submit to God. 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:59.840 Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.399 The problem is this. 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:09.679 If the Bible says the devil will flee, why doesn't he flee? 00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:22.399 Why are you still suffering and losing and in torment? 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:26.080 Man, y'all are easy to preach to. 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.919 I'll tell you why you're easy to preach to. 00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.000 You wear it on your face. 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:32.720 Amen. 00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.120 I can see it the moment I say something. 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:36.320 Woo! Amen. 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:37.759 It comes on you. 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:38.240 Thank you. 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:38.960 Hallelujah. 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:40.399 That helps a preacher out. 00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:41.600 Hallelujah. 00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.200 You don't even have to say it. 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:43.519 Amen. 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.360 I already see it on your face. 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:46.480 Hallelujah. 00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.440 Why, why, why can I? 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:56.399 There's a song in Spanish that says, No puede estar triste un corazón que alaba Cristo. 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:05.919 It says, uh a person that loves God, that worships God, does not uh suffer sadness. 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:16.399 But I've sang that song many times with sadness in my life, with torment in my life. 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:24.639 Sometimes we have a tendency to come to church and slap a smile on it and act like as if everything's alright. 00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:29.279 But I come to I come to be real up in this place. 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:40.879 I come to let you know change is coming to your situation in the mighty name of Jesus. 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.879 I need somebody to shout right now. 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.039 See what's this? 00:12:53.600 --> 00:13:01.120 I want to make a parallel because I began to research why does a scarecrow not scare? 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:08.480 And when I went to do the research, I I narrowed it down to three things. 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.360 The first reason is it has no brain. 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:17.679 Amen. 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.960 Don't do it really rough like, but just kind of look at your neighbor and say they're talking to you. 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:28.960 Amen. 00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:31.759 It has no brain. 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:33.919 It cannot think. 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:41.600 The second thing, it never moves. 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:52.159 And the third thing is, what's it stuffed with? 00:13:55.039 --> 00:14:06.000 So I began to make a little parallel of these three reasons why a scarecrow don't scare and apply it to our lives. 00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:39.679 Because if I'm supposed to be a watchman on the wall, if I'm supposed to guard my family, if I'm supposed to guard my own life and not allow for the enemy to steal what God has given to me and take my joy and take all this, then I need to learn why the enemy is still doing it and what I need to change in my life so that I don't lose my stuff anymore. 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:44.559 Praise God. 00:14:45.440 --> 00:15:01.759 So the first thing is it has no brain, it has no brain, no understanding, no renewed mind. 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:06.080 It can't think for itself. 00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:24.799 A person who lacks the mind of Christ, the knowledge of the word of God, and spiritual wisdom is easily outmovered, outmaneuvered by the enemy. 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:27.360 Amen. 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:34.080 If you think you're gonna outsmart the devil, he's got years on you, baby. 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.600 He's got years on you. 00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:44.480 He knows how to move and come in and be sneaky. 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:49.039 Sneak in when you less expect it. 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:50.159 Amen. 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:57.679 But one of the things the devil does not like is a knowledgeable Christian. 00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:00.399 Hallelujah. 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:09.279 Somebody that got wisdom, somebody that's got knowledge is a threat to the enemy. 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:17.840 Because all of a sudden the enemy realizes I'm not dealing with an ignorant person. 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.759 I'm dealing with an informed person. 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:25.759 Praise God. 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:34.240 Watch this, the Bible says, you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:45.679 It's not only doctrinal truth, but it's the truth in any situation will set you free. 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.399 Oh, I wish I had somebody right there. 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.759 You need to start declaring truth. 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:57.440 I am not the tail, I am the head. 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:00.399 I'm not beneath, I am above. 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:04.480 I am victorious in the name of Jesus. 00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.319 Somebody clap your hands to the Lord. 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:14.720 See, watch this. 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.960 We talk about, we talk about generational curses. 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:23.039 The other day, God gave me a revelation that was powerful. 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:29.039 What we call generational curses are actually generational choices. 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:55.279 That we continue with the same pattern of choice that grandpa did, that daddy did, we continue with the same pattern of choice, and then we wonder why we end up in the same situation, and all we do is say, oh, it's a generational curse. 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:56.720 Hallelujah. 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:58.960 The devil is a liar. 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:07.119 The moment you realize I refuse to make that choice anymore. 00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.000 I'm gonna choose different. 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:19.119 Then baby, in you, you kill a patron that is destroyed. 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:24.160 Somebody give God a shout of praise right now. 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.119 Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost in this place. 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.559 I said, I feel the Holy Ghost in this place. 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:37.519 Well, I can't help it. 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:38.160 Why?
