I thank God today. If I look at the names online, my brothers and my sisters, I look at those standing before me, in front of me. It's I I'm with the saints. I'm with the faithful. Praise God. And that means I'm in the right place. Amen. This is where we ought to be today, and I thank God that God has prepared a place for you and I. Amen. So some of you are in the um, how can I say the um the confines of your houses? You're in the you're surrounded by your family, you're surrounded by friends. I don't know if you're around a campfire or if you're walking down the street. Some of you took a plane to get here today, praise God, or yesterday. Good to have you with us. Praise God. Some of us drove for a few minutes, doesn't make a difference. Whatever we needed, whatever we had to do, whatever we needed to do, we can be where God wants us to be. Praise God. And I thank God for that today. Praise God that we have that blessing. Praise God. We're going to be thankful. Put your hands up in the air. Let's pray. Let's go to God. Let's thank God for this place. Let's thank God for the next few minutes that we have in the Word of God. Let's thank God for truth, which we are about to receive. Let's thank God for the right mind, the right heart, praise God, the right attitude. Amen. To sit down, praise God, in the in the within the refuge of his sanctuary, praise God, and receive what what I need, praise God. God is going to give me something that I need. God is going to give me something that you and I need today. Praise God. Amen. Now we endure until the end. So let's be thankful. Father in heaven, we're so glad once again that your spirit is here, for where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. I thank God that as we get together to receive, as we get together to open up our Bibles today, the Word of God, words of spirit and of life, your Holy Ghost will lead us and will guide us today. Praise God. Amen. Well, the in the reading of your word, that we have eyes to see it, that we have ears to hear what is about to be preached, Lord, that under the anointing which breaks the yoke, in Jesus' name, Lord. I thank God, praise God, that we can stand in the stand not only in your presence, but we've we can come and as we walk in the Spirit, praise God. Not amen, not by sight, but by faith today, that we can be found in a place which you have prepared for us, which you have established for the good of our souls. I bless every single person that is listening today, praise God, to be found uh uh together in fellowship, to be found together in a unity because of one spirit, one mind, one heart, one baptism, one word, one way, one truth, one life, one savior today, Jesus Christ, it's your Son. And I thank God today we're here for under no other name, praise God, but the name of Jesus Christ, which is the above all other names. Lord, as we get ready to receive the word of God today, I thank God that as I preach, give you the strength, as I that I speak forth in excellency, that the every word will find its way into good ground today, praise God. Amen. Not spoken in vain, but good ground in Jesus' name, praise God. Lord, I come against, amen, the spirits of opposition, the spirit, the spirits of iniquity or the spirits of wickedness that are dwelling in this land. We know the devil is up design. He's out more, he's more ferocious than ever. But Lord, I thank God today. We're here, we're not here for something that is unclean. We are here for what is clean. We are here for the word of God, which is going to wash us not just our feet, not just our hands, not just our head, but from the top of our head to the soles of our feet, that our sins can be washed under that precious blood of Jesus Christ, which was shed on Calvary a couple thousand years ago. Now make a difference in our lives today, Lord. I pray if there's someone that needs to be ready, that is not ready, they need to get ready, they need to be ready. Now is the time to call upon the Lord. Amen. That they call upon your mercy and your grace today, which we are thankful for your forgiveness and for your grace, which has been bestowed upon us, for by grace are ye saved. And I thank God today for the as we look at Calvary, as we look at the cross and the work which was wrought, not only for our salvation, but for our healing in Jesus' name, that we may have peace. There was chastisement laid upon Jesus Christ. Amen. He was wounded and bruised because of transgression, because of sin. And here we are today, able to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Jesus Christ has made us free. Lord, but Father in heaven, we are thankful for your son. We pray for our leaders, amen, that they may be that they be more Jesus-minded. They may be that they can be more biblical-minded, Lord, in Jesus' name. Whatever minions that the devil may have in parliament, in even in our school system, uh in the cities, in the in the provincial leaderships, Lord, I thank God that we can we can restrain, we can stand and resist, Lord, what they are, what the devil is up to, what darkness is up to. It is righteousness that shall exalt this nation. And I thank God for every one of my brothers and sisters who stand in righteousness today, Lord, in Jesus' name. Anoint this broadcast as it comes forth live and as it gets replayed until Jesus comes, Lord. I thank God, amen, that we can be vessels meet for your use today.

Praise God. So we're gonna be blessed with two more. Amen. In Jesus' name. Praise God. Then get your Bibles, amen. Or you may be seated or stand if the music gets you up on your feet. Get up on your feet and rejoice. And then we're gonna get into the word of God very quickly. Amen and amen. Praise God. Look at someone and say, No turning back.

unknown 9:38

No turning back.

SPEAKER_01 9:39

Amen. Just before I shut my eyes tonight, reading the comments, I want to see somebody in the comment, at least a half a dozen Alden Caps. I'm not going back. That's right. Praise God. Amen. You need to be determined. Look at the person next to you and say, I'm not going back. I've got no reason to go back. Amen. The devil wants me to go back, but I'm not going back. Praise God. Amen. Hallelujah. Some people say, Well, you can't help it, but you can. And when God brought his people out of Egypt, he said, You're not going back. Now, we know if you keep reading, bring me down a little bit more. We know if you keep reading that they eventually did go back, but that was they made up their mind to do that. They didn't have to, but they just said, Well, we will. Prophet prophesying, cursed are you if you lean on horses and men and princes and whatever else. When you have king of kings, amen. The writer in Psalms says, He said, God showed his handiwork, he showed the best of what a living God can do. Split the Red Sea, cross over on dry ground. Amen. Take care of the enemy. And there's a list of things, Amen, the wondrous works that God did. And then the writer says, This is I'm kind of ad-living a little bit. The writer turns around and says, And then you have the nerve to say, Can God furnish a table for us in the in the wilderness? You gotta be careful with the flesh. It does some strange things sometimes. That's why you need the man of God, that's why you need the prophet saying, Look what God did. Amen. It's the devil who wants you back. See, where I stand today, the devil is a loser. Because I used to stand in his camp as a sinner, but then I repented, and here I am today. God has the I mean, God is the on the winning side, God is victorious. It's the devil that lost me, it's the devil that wants me back. But I have a God who says you don't have to go back. Amen. You read the first verse in Galatians chapter 5, it says, Don't be entangled again with the yoke of bondage, stand fast in the liberty where with Jesus Christ. Someone say, Jesus Christ has made me free. Praise God. You stand with Jesus, you're not entangled in this world. Amen. Because God brought us out. The trouble is, when you look at the church system today, the trouble is, you know, they say, Well, we got to come out of this world, and they bring the world with them inside the church. When God wants you out of the world, the world stays where it is, and you come out of that ditch. You come out of the miry clay. You can't you get yourself out of the sinking sand and leave the old things behind. Amen. 2 Corinthians 5 17 says, the old things they pass away. Praise God. Draw nigh unto me. God says, I will draw nigh unto you. Amen. So when our holy sisters are singing, no turning back, not going back. Praise God. I'm a son of God. Amen. There is actually there's two species that you can read. They go back. One's a dog and one's a sow. One's a pig. They go back. Amen. Dog goes back to his vomit. The sow goes back to the miry pit, the pit of mud. I'm not that species. Amen. I'm a son of God. Praise God. Are you with me this afternoon? Amen. Blessed be his holy name. Hallelujah. You may be seated in the presence of the Lord. Keep saying it. Not going back. Not going back. Not going back. Not going back. Not going back. Not going back. Drive the devil. Drive the devil crazy. Make him mad. Not going back. Before you close your eyes tonight, not going back. Because we're we're gonna read. And for though a couple of weeks ago, we were we did have a meeting. That would have been what the 15th of June, I think. June 15th was our meeting in Edmonton, because you were all there. It was the 15th, right? 13th, 14th was uh we laid our sister to rest. And uh the 15th, we looked at some scriptures, and um but since then that's what I've been meditating on. It's like the latest sermon. So thinking on that, and I said, wait, but this this is for everyone, not just the group that the nice group that we had in Edmonton. So we're gonna we're gonna, for those of you that were in Edmonton, but two weeks later it's gonna come out different. We're gonna look at scriptures where, as I was saying, the devil wants you back, and and the the devil is um seeking whom he may devour. We're gonna read you may as well turn to your Bibles. We'll get into the teaching. Welcome everyone listening. First Peter chapter 5. And the devil is given the title, if you would, to the adversary, the enemy of my soul. Like I said, he wants you back. He had you in the first place. That's what the Bible teaches us. When we come into this world, we're short of the glory. We're all born in sin. Amen. That's how the that's what the Bible teaches us, and as truth, that's what I receive. Praise God. The devil wants you back. We're gonna look at some examples in the Bible. Some folks do end up going back. Some folks they are steadfast in the faith. Amen. So we need to be careful. What you think matters. Amen. Some of that's been repeating because we've been on the road not able to live stream. And we're gonna see that the devil is there with his suggestions. If you look at the title, satanic suggestions. But I thank God that we can reject. Amen. How many of you know what the devil sounds like? You can see him coming. Amen. If it sounds like a devil, it's a devil. I don't want to lose my amens. We need to understand today what the what the value of our soul is. I asked the folks on the French side, is what's the what's the most costly thing in this world? And I don't want you to think of mansions or property or private jet. And every person will pay the price. When you read the Bible, thank God for Calvary. When you read the Bible, you read that, you read that sin. It's so costly that you and I can't afford to make the payment to someone say thank you, Jesus. For work on Calvary. People think that you can, you know, I go to church. Oh, so do bugs and spiders. It doesn't make them saved. You know, just because you go to church doesn't make a dip doesn't make a difference to God. When you stand before God, God doesn't want it. The only name he wants to hear is Jesus, mediator and intercessor. Amen. Baptist, Pentecostal, or any other name. The name on the outside of this church, it's French, so whatever name doesn't mean nothing to God. There's only one name. You read it in Acts chapter 4, the 12th verse. Read verse 10, verse 11, the 12th verse. There's only one name, and it's Jesus Christ. That price was paid with his blood. Someone say, Thank you, Jesus. Amen. People think that they could, yeah, but they call themselves a religion, but I'm beginning to have my doubts. Islam is not much of a religion, it's more like a movement. And they're coming into this country saying they'll pay, if they don't want to join with us, if they don't become Muslim, they'll pay jizya. No, I'm not paying you anything. There was a price that was paid for my soul, and it's Jesus Christ. Amen. If you think you're gonna tax me because whatever name you want to put on me, there is something coming. Amen. And his name is Jesus Christ. Like I said, people will spend their time in doing good or different organizations. When you read Ephesians chapter 2, verses 9, 10, verses 8, 9, and 10, for by grace you are saved, not by your works, so that you boast. Amen. Not by works lest any man shall boast. You talk to people and they think they're better than somebody else. When I read the Bible, God puts us all on the same level. As no respecter of persons. I need Jesus Christ. I need my Savior. And I need to repent. I need to come to repentance. Praise God. This goes with what I'm about to read, what Peter wrote. And Peter writes from experience. In 1 Peter chapter 5, verse 8, he says, Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. And there's no exceptions. There is no exclusions. He's going after you then. If you really are a believer, whosoever believeth shall not perish. If you really then the devil is after you. Amen. This is what you and I need to be aware of. He may do it differently. Between you and I. He may have a different approach. May have a different whatever his whatever his strategy is, whatever his wows are. And this is who we think. Every day. Amen. Because he's seeking whom he may devour. Verse 9 says, Whom resist. Who are we talking about? Amen. Talk to me. See, there's two people in the verses eight and nine. We're talking, there's two characters, if you would. There's two people that we're talking about. One is the devil, that's pretty clear. And the other person would be. I'm asking you a question. That other person would be? Ah, yours truly. Amen. Sister behind the camera, she's talking about me. Yeah, he's talking about. I'm in this picture too. Because the first two words I said, be sober. Who's that? That's you and me. Be vigilant. Who's that? That's you and me. Because your enemy, the devil, there's a second character that's in this picture. Seeking about whom he may devour. See, there's, as I said, no exclusions. So now with a little bit of this foundation, let's go back to see what it's and read what it says. Be sober, be vigilant, so I can keep my place. Hallelujah. As the program started, and I know we started a few minutes late, but as the program started, I was in the room just getting ready, and I'm looking at the comments and I'm reading the comments. I'm going, there she is. There's my brother. Amen. Because we haven't live, we didn't we haven't had a live stream for two months. So I am, I mean, I'm putting my faith to work, but I'm looking at my brothers and sisters as they log on or log in or whatever the words are, join join the live stream. Oh, there she is, North Dakota. There she is, you know, Alberta, there she is. In whatever province you are. I'm reading the names. Because two months later, you are still steadfast. Amen. Two months later, you're still where you need to be. Be sober, be vigilant to keep my place. Because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion seeketh, he walketh about seeking whom he may devour. Whom resist? Who do I resist? I need to resist the devil. Amen. Some folks be sitting there resisting the preaching, resisting the pastor, resisting the verse that has just been read. I resist the devil. Whatever shape or form. Paul wrote to the church in Galatia and he says, I marvel. How quickly. This was the man of God. We received, we know what we know today by his revelation. And yet he wrote to his church and he says, I marvel. So soon, so quickly, as if you have been you've been removed. What happened? Who was knocking on your door? Who showed up looked all super sanctimonious and looking at all that with a message? It doesn't line up, like I said. Show me the chapter, show me the verse, show me the page number, and then I'll believe it. And not just believe it, I'll put it to work and begin to do what it says. Amen. When there's doctrines that just show up on my doorstep or on my journeys along the way, I need to decide who I'm gonna listen to. Jesus says, My sheep know my voice. They hear it and they know my voice. And no other voice will they follow. Are there other voices? Yes. Do we recognize who they are? We've got to. We need to. Devil wants you back. We were just singing, not going back. Amen. So when he comes around saying, ah, you can miss a Sunday, you can skip a broadcast, you can go on holidays and you know forget the programming. I like to see when people travel and yet they're online on a Sunday. Amen. Hallelujah. Even though the sermon's repeating or in a replay mode for the second time, I listen. Amen. Over and over again. Because my soul needs to be fed. Most of you know I like mashed potatoes. I'll eat them twice a day and I won't complain. People law God say, I preached that last Sunday. Come on. I don't know who I'm talking to, but some folks say, Oh, you preached the whole hour just on me. Well thank God that God took an hour out of his time to preach to you. I'd be grateful. Amen. I'd love it right now if I could sit down at the feet of Jesus Christ for the next hour and Jesus preach at me, to me, pointing to me. I'd be sitting there saying, My Lord and Savior, bring it on. I need to get saved and sanctified. I need to hear the message. I need to hear the truth. I need to be fed. Preach all you want, preach it to me, preach me into everlasting life. Not preaching over anybody's head. I haven't told this before. Pointing right at me. Good. Point you right out of hell. Point you right into heaven. This is the way. Walk ye in it. Amen. Jesus said the Holy Ghost is gonna come, He's gonna lead you. What does that mean? He's gonna guide you. Amen. In French, it uses the word conduit. I don't know how to translate that. Conduct. Could even mean drive you. That's more of the word. Well that's not as he in English, he's gonna lead you. In French, when you when you use the translation, he's gonna drive you. Some of us need to be driven. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. For he leads me. Hallelujah. I got a shepherd, and he's a good shepherd. I got a shepherd, he's a good shepherd, he's a great shepherd. In his name is Jesus. Praise God. Turn to the book of John, chapter 13. As I mentioned, some examples that we do have. I'm gonna bounce around a little bit. I'm gonna we're gonna pick this up somewhere in the middle. John chapter 13. Let's start reading from verse 9. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. See, Jesus is washing their feet. And when you wear sandals on a dusty road and you don't have socks on, you need your feet washed. Probably twice a day. So it's a custom. And Jesus Christ is doing just that. Peter says, Well, not just did you wash my feet, you're washing my feet, wash my hands, wash my head. Keep going. Jesus in verse 10, he says, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet. You don't only have to wash your feet, but is clean every wit. Someone say, every whit. Every wit hole. And ye are clean, but not all. It's because he skipped somebody? No. Jesus equally washed. If there were 12 disciples there, he equally washed 12 pairs of feet. I asked this question on the French side: who is doing the washing? So if Jesus is doing the washing, you know the washing is good. It's real good. But Jesus said, not all are clean, for he knew who should betray him. Therefore, that's why he said, that's why he said, Ye are not all clean. So who are we dealing with? Run back up to verse 2. And supper being ended, the devil having now put, try to make some emphasis on the word put. Because the understanding that I've received, the intelligence that I'm getting, it wasn't there to begin with. The devil shows up, he's got a plan, he's got a strategy, he's got a while, and then he puts it. Dealing with Judas here. And he now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him. If I look a little deeper into this scenario, I wonder what the devil is. Is not so much wondering what he's up to, but his strategy and his plan. We know Judas carried the bag. He was a treasurer. So he walked around with the offerings, he walked around with the money. And he wasn't handling it right. So we know money is an issue. And the devil knows that. So he didn't go after, he didn't go after Judas, you know, you know, with the glory or with the girls. Hey man, you've heard me say this before. In the position where I stand, part of sanctification, don't touch the glory, don't touch the gold, don't touch the girls. I've said that before. But here, in this situation, the devil knows this is an easy target. Hey Judas, you want to make some money? 15 pieces of silver. I can see Judas beginning to swirl that around in his mind. If you listen to what I'm about to tell you. And there's Judas sitting there, 20 pieces of silver, he's shaking his bag. Devil ups, 25. How about 25? I'm sure you can negotiate 30, and all of a sudden something is captivated in his spirit, in his mind. So we read, if we read 25 verses later, down, jump down to verse 27, and after the supper of the sponge, Satan entered into him. Now there's a difference between verse 2 and verse 27. In verse 2, Satan puts into him, he's suggesting. I know there's prophecy involved in this, but I picture the devil walking into the room looking who he's going to devour. There's John, there's Peter. Oh Judas. Right up my alley. Second page in your Bible, who did the devil devour? He walks into the garden. I wonder who I can devour. Hey, Eve, check out that tree. You haven't eaten, you haven't tasted that tree yet. Eve should have kept on walking. Are you with me? But the devil's looking. Now he didn't have much choice. It was Adam or Eve. He decided to go after Eve, and Eve became devourable. Influenced her husband Adam, and sin entered into the world. So as I said, there's a difference. Verse 2, the devil puts into his heart. 25 verses later, like I said, whatever was going on in his mind, Satan enters into him. Now the fight takes on a whole different level. Because when the devil's around here seeking who may be devour, he may be knocking. You know. The word that they use in French means he likes to stick, he likes to stick close with bad intentions. We know his intentions are bad. He's in that in that area. That's where he should be, and you and I have to accept that. Comes and goes. We have to accept that because that's who he is. But I don't need to accept where he wants to enter in. Someone say amen. You can stand in my shadow if you want, but you're not coming in. Talking to the devil. Because there's a difference now. When the devil enters into him, Jesus looks at Judas and says, Judas, you know what you got to do? Get up and do it and hurry up. Disciples are wondering, they're looking at Jesus, saying, Is it me? Is it me? Who's gonna do who are we talking about tonight? They didn't know. Until the devil enters into Judas. Jesus looks over at his disciple Judas. Said, What you need, what you're gonna do? Get up and do it and do it quickly. Where is the devil being kept today? At a distance? And how is he showing up? Sometimes it's family, sometimes it's friends, sometimes it's neighbors. Sometimes it's the advertising on the side of the bus or the billboard. Not every billboard says Jesus Christ. Like I said, and the devil knows. He knew how to get to Judas. And he got to him. Suggestions that were satanical, gets to Judas, enters in, and then it was done. Turn to the book of Luke, chapter 22. Now, if you're sitting there saying that was like two thousand years ago, well you're right. But the battle is still ongoing. And the enemy hasn't changed. He has strategies. Ephesians chapter six uses the word his wilds, the way he goes about to do it. Let's see what the intelligence that Jesus gives us. Verse 31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired, hath desired to have you. Was there any exclusion? Goes after Judas. Goes after Simon. Goes after you. Goes after me. Listen to what Jesus says. Read with me. Verse thirty one. Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. In the next verse, Jesus says, But I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not. Into as I said, when we read the in the epistle of Peter, chapter 5, verse 8 and 9, whom resists steadfast in the faith. See, Peter is speaking by experience. So verse 32, when Jesus says, I'm praying that your faith does not fail. So a few years later, Peter is writing, he says, You need to be steadfast in the faith. Your faith cannot fail. Faith which cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. What we're hearing today is what puts my faith where my faith should be. Amen. When I'm able to stand against the wows, quench the fiery darts that are throwing my way, his suggestions which are satanical, his suggestions that want to take me out. But here I stand with my feet on a rock today, steadfast in the faith. This is the faith that I'm talking about. I'm not talking about religious faith. You know there is only one gospel. Quiet now. It's the gospel of Christ. Well, I go to my church and I don't really see things the way you see them. There is only one gospel. I don't think if you see things with cross-eyed or one-eyed, it makes no difference. There's only one gospel that brings salvation, deliverance. That is the way, that is the truth, that is the life. The devil has divided things up in so many different categories. Can't make heads or tails. Amen. When people tell me they believe in Jesus, I just push them a little bit. You know, he died, right? Oh yeah, I believe in Jesus. You know, three days later he arose. And some people, oh yeah, I believe in Jesus. Some people stopped me there. All my Muslim friends, that's where they stopped me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No resurrection. Well, I don't know who you think you believe in, but not the same Jesus. Y'all be preaching another Jesus. Paul made this clear. Another Jesus comes with another gospel. If you don't believe in death, burial, and resurrection, and the fact that he's coming back to take his church, a bride that is holy, without spot and without wrinkle, to be presented to his father in heaven. That's Jesus. That's the gospel of Christ and Him crucified. Anything else? It's another gospel that doesn't belong. Didn't come from God. Not his word, not his truth. Are you still with me? And he says, verse 32. In Luke 22. But I have prayed for thee. Are you glad for that? Well, that's Jesus prayed for Simon. Read John chapter 17. Jesus on his knees, he's praying, he's talking to his father. The disciples, now they're down to 11, they're out, they're out sleeping. Jesus said, I pray for those that you have given me. They get prayed for. But then a little later on, Jesus begins to pray for you and Isis. And I also pray, not for those who are in the world, but I pray for them. When I showed up in 1962, Jesus had already prayed for me. Can someone say thank you, Jesus? Hallelujah. And my brothers and sisters that are praying for me, I talked to Pastor Michel and Pastor Jeremy this week. They said, we are praying for you. We appreciate your support. Soul saved, amen, because of our help that they receive. And I'm sitting in my house, the South Shore of Montreal, and I'm saying, there's folks praying for me in Africa, a different continent. For those of you, since this is the English live stream, live stream, a different language. Hallelujah. Would we testify on the French side, sister? I love you, and I'm praying for you. Pick somebody out in the comments and say, brother, sister, I love you, and I'm praying for you. Look at the person next to you and say, I love you, sister. I love you, brother, and I'm praying for you. Because you and I we're still in and we're still in on this together. It's the devil who wants to separate us. And this is the knowledge we get in this, in the 32nd verse, he says, I'm praying that your faith does not fail. When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Why? Because when you back up to verse 31, he says, the devil wants to sift you like wheat. I'm wondering if I can make this statement. I think everyone, if you're old enough, or even the young people, I think everyone has pretty well used a sifter in their life. I don't cook barely. I don't bake, that's for sure. I cook a little bit, but I've sifted some stuff. My wife Flori should come around and say, here, sip this. Yeah, shake it up. And you understand what you're doing when you're sifting something. You're separating the good from the bad. And you have to shake it up. The devil comes, he wants to shake you up. Trying to separate you from the from the good. Trying to separate you from the house of God. Trying to separate you from where you ought to be. Trying to separate you from your time reading the Bible. Time to separate you from off your knees from when you're to be praying. Going to God. Amen. Oh, he was after Peter to sift him. Are you any better? Or are you any worse? He said, No exclusions. There's no. We're all in on this. We all have the same enemy. It's not my sister, it's not my brother, it's the devil. And with his diabolical dictations, he's coming around sowing thoughts. Devil looks at Simon Peter. He says, I liked him better when he was fishing for fish. Jesus comes along, and now Peter's fishing for men and for women. So the devil's looking at Peter, he says, trying to get him to go back to fish fishing. Almost had him, too. You read the last chapter of John, it's a good thing Jesus walked all he walked. After shedding his blood, having his flesh abused, hanging on the cross, heading into the depths of the earth, coming out of the grave. Then how many miles did he walk to go find Peter? Hey Peter, you love me? Devil almost had him. Fishing for fish again. Devil wants you back. You can fish for fish all you want. But the moment you pick up, start driving the trailer around, Brian and Keno, they say, Amen. You pick up some flyers and you go door to door. This is a different year. I know you're getting ready to go out, but I need to say 2026 is a little different. It's different than last year. You see, 12 months later. A couple of people with respect, they actually handed the flyer back. They said, I don't want it. I'm really quickly to go get it because that can do good in another household. And I thanked them. I said, Thank you for your honesty. I respect that. I just walk away. They see the Bible on it. I don't want it. Okay, I respect that. Thank you. I've had it ripped up. Had the dog sicked on me, doors slammed, like I was wasting their time. 2026 is different. A year later, the devil, his strategy, he's been working on people, wearing them down. Our government. Some of you may recall what I've been mentioning. Keep your Bibles, keep the paper in the ink. They can't touch this. Can't touch this version because I've already got it. Belongs to me. There's something else they can't touch. They can't touch what's in my heart. But if you recall, it's not that I was predicting or prophesying, but I said, these things they can play around with them. You know the morning after our meeting, and I guess it was the 14th in June. Sister Tina comes to me, she goes, look at my Bible I'm reading in her electronic device. She goes, The verse is gone. She's reading King James. I said, What do you mean the verse is gone? She goes, It's gone. She says, I'm reading, well, where's the verse? It's gone. She says, I went online to see what happened. They've hacked in and started taking verses away. How they do it, I don't know. King James Version. Artificial intelligence. If you want to call it intelligence, I don't know. So Sister Tina goes, I take out another version, it's gone too. They're already hacking in to take away. The devil's a thief. When Jesus said every word, he says, Man shall live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. That's what I am obedient to. Every word. That's how I live. People say, Well, what's it mean to obey God? You get yourself one of these. If you're listening on radio, I got a Bible in my hands. You get yourself a Bible, you open it up, you begin to read it, and you become a faithful servant. Do what it says. Hallelujah. This way you get with God and you get to stay with God. Jesus said, I'm praying. Peter, because Satan, your enemy. He doesn't want you following me, he wants you on a boat fishing fish. No Peter, no Acts chapter 3. No Peter, no Acts chapter 4. That's Peter. No longer with a fishing pole in his hands. Lifting up the name of Jesus Christ. He said, The man that you crucified, this man is walking today because of the man you crucified. By his stripes, he is healed. Peter and John, silver and gold have we none, but such as we have, we're going to give it to you. And you're going to get up and you're going to stop begging. You're not going to need to be carried to the house of God any longer to beg. You're going to walk into the house of God all on your own, leaping, praising, and shouting unto God. Hallelujah. That's Peter. No wonder the devil didn't want him. To follow Jesus. Sisters were singing. I have decided to follow Jesus. James chapter four. So what are we going to do when the devil shows up? James gives us this understanding. Seventh verse. Two things. I have two words underlined in this verse. Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. So the first word I have underlined is submit. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Second word I have underlined is resist. So what do you and I have to do? Say it. Word number one. Say it a little louder. Submit. What's the second word? Resist. Let me try to explain it a little more simpler. Not simpler, but a little more, give you a different understanding. Become submissive, become resistant. No submission, no resistance. How do you resist? Submit to God. Not to the devil. If I go back into John chapter 13, there's Satan saying, Judas, want to make fifteen pieces of silver? Ah, twenty. Try for 30. All you have to do is deny the deny the rabbi. Deny the master. Like I said, he maybe he resisted 15. I don't know how the devil came at him if it was, you know, flat out 30, non-negotiable. But if he still resists 15, I can resist 20, I can resist 20. But 30 pieces of silver, oh, that becomes a little more difficult. The spear lingers since we're talking about Peter. Peter also went into a denial mode for till the rooster crowed. Little too far away from Jesus and too close to the sinners. Then Peter runs into trouble. Thank God Jesus was looking at him when the rooster made that sound at daybreak. Peter looks over at Jesus and Jesus is looking at him. Told you. Come on, say amen. People make fun of Peter. Oh well, Peter denied the Christ. So do you. Well, what do you mean? I don't deny Christ. Yeah, you're still smoking. Uh-oh. Still playing the numbers on the weekend. Buying a ticket. Are you available for God or not? While I am here, I've been listening to you for a whole hour now. Is that all God can expect from you two hours every Sunday? Thank you, my sister. Make yourself available for God. Submit yourselves. Here I am. It's not just the devil that shows up with suggestives or you know, seeds of doubt or seeds of contrariness. I'm gonna give you some examples. As I said, we're reading through. We've already looked at Peter, Judas. Go in the book of Ezra, chapter 7. This morning while I was eating breakfast, it said 24 degrees feels like 30. Just before I came out, it said 29. And I said, Well, what's that feel like? 35? Somebody said 40, 40. For those of you sitting in the heat, I'm almost done. Verse 27, Ezra 727. Blessed be the Lord God of our fathers, which has put such a thing as this in the king's heart. Ezra's making his plea to the king, and house of God's in trouble. Needs some renovations. Needs to be beautified because it's God's house after all. Got to look good. He's talking to a king of a from a different nation, submitting his plea. And well, it looks like the king's gonna go along with it, you know, supply all the necessary permits. Do what kings do. Ezra looks at the king and says, Oh, and by the way, you're gonna pay for it. Now that's a man of God. Where is Ezra today? The anointing of God to be able to stand before leadership. People tell me, don't play around with politics. Well, you can't get more. You can't get more than this single verse where Ezra's standing before the king. He's not asking for bursaries or grants or loans. He said, by the way, you're gonna pay for it. Hallelujah. One book over in Nehemiah. So we see here he says that God, the God of our fathers, has put such a thing in the king's heart. We need to become aware, we need to become sensitive to the Spirit of God. Know who's doing the talking. So one book over Nehemiah, the second chapter, and the 12th verse. It says, And I arose in the night, I and some few men that were with me. He says, Neither did I tell, neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart. Someone say, My God has put in my heart. What's in your heart today? I don't know how to say this correctly, but who's who's doing the pudding? P-U-T-T-I-N-G. You read where Satan puts, but then also God puts. I don't want what the devil has to offer. I left that behind. Amen. I may, I as I stand here today, I submit myself to God. I'm not looking for someone's opinion on this earth. An earthy opinion, an earthly validation, earthy comment. Trying to make myself suitable for somebody or not. I stand before God and His Word. Keep my spirit, keep my mind where it ought to be, where it needs to stay, steadfast in the faith, because it's the word of God that's on replay mode. In my mind. Blessed is a man who meditates on the law of God once a week. Correct me. Every Sunday. Day and night, the second verse in Psalm chapter one. You want to be blessed? God says, have your mind stayed upon me in my peace. Shall I give unto thee? These are Old Testament examples. Book of Acts, chapter 5, and the third verse. I'm going to pray in a couple of minutes. If you're sitting there saying, How can I get God's suggestions? Open up the Bible and read. You begin to read with this understanding, with that with having the eyes of your understanding open. You begin to read this way from this day forward. You're going to see that God has a lot of suggestions that He has made in His book. This is what I want you to sing. Okay. I want you to clap. Okay. I want you to dance. Okay. I want you to use some symbols. And Emma Grace and Naomi, they say, okay. Praise them on the organ. Sister Lori goes, okay. I know they're they lean more towards commandments, but they're, let's put it this way, they're very suggestive. Amen. Play them on the stringed instrument. So Gloria goes, okay. Sing unto him, so sister sings. Okay. A new song. Okay. There it is in the Bible. In Acts chapter 5, the third verse, Peter goes, Why? He's looking at Ananias. He goes, Why? He's got a question. Why hath Satan filled thine heart? Uh-oh. That satanic suggestion ended up in the wrong place. Amen. Devil comes knocking on your door, make sure it's double locked. Not getting in. Don't touch what's in my heart. Don't touch what God has put in my heart today. Make sure your heart's filled. No room for the devil. No vacancy. Amen. Peter, this is Acts chapter 5. Peter's looking at an eyes. Why? Why hath Satan filled thine heart? To lie to the Holy Ghost and to keep back part of the price of the land. Why? We are not given the insight of what was in that man's mind. And his wife agreed with him. She worked with that same spirit. After the teaching this afternoon, a brother says, I'm trying to understand like Judas, how he went out with the two by two, and the seventy fed people saw the loaves multiplied, the healings, took part in the meetings and such. I look at my brother, he says, We're not given some of those details to understand. Prophetically, yes, because Jesus said, One of you is a devil, and I picked that. So there's prophecy involved. But at the same time, he said, You know, Judas, on judgment day, Judas is not going to be the only one. Because my brother said, Judas went, he healed folks. With the other disciples. And whatever other miracles and he did is not the only one. People be standing, hey God, it's me. I don't know who you are. Hey, yeah, I healed some folks. Still don't know you. So Judas is not going to be the only one saying, Well, look what I did. Look at here, you know, laying out some, trying to establish some works or whatever he did. How are you and I gonna stand before God? With Jesus, the intercessor, the mediator. One last example I want to read, but thanks be to God. That's 2 Corinthians chapter 8 in the 16th verse. 2 Corinthians 8, 16, but thanks. Be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus. Titus, for you. Which God has put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus. Like I said, the devil puts and God puts. It's up to you and I to decide what we're going to receive. I'm going to pray in about two minutes. We need to make this decision. Young people school's out. In the next couple of months. There's more time on your hands. What's that? These children, but there's children listening online. More time on your hands means more time in the word of God. Protect your soul. Young people say amen. I know most of you are a French, but amen. Let's stand. That'll remind me to pray in one minute. Make yourself available for God. Unless the devil comes and puts something into your heart and into your mind that will lead you astray. Put your hands up. Be thankful for the word of God today. At home, as well, viewers, thank you so much for listening. I trust this live stream somewhere in the middle of our summer will make a difference. This is how God can put the right things. Righteousness that exalteth the nation. Sin is a reproach to the people. Begin to pray. Pray for our leaders. Father in heaven, today we stand thankful for your word. We rejoice in what we have heard. Maybe we squirmed a little bit, felt the chastisement. But that's proof that you love. That you love me today because of what we received. Thank God the devil is there. But Lord, I pray for power to quench the fiery darts. In Jesus' name. Young people survive ten months within the school system. Protect them now from drugs, from alcohol, from perversion, from accidents, from sickness, from the influence that is this world of darkness. And for mom and dad, too, in Jesus' name, Lord, we pray. Hallelujah. Prepare the way of our English trailer. Is it heads out tomorrow? May souls be saved because of my brother and sister. And those following in Jesus' name, Lord, we pray. Lord, I thank God for this place. I thank God for these networks that allow the reading of the Word of God. So far, so good. We pray for our leaders. They want to take this away. This is the only thing standing between peace and destruction in this country. Pastor Michelle, Pastor Jeremy, the same thing in their countries. They're making the difference between the tribulations of evil men and women. Between your wrath, too, that will be poured out. And here we are, Lord. Thank God it is not you, your desire to see any one of us perish. So today you gave us ears to hear, eyes to see, and a heart to receive what we needed to receive today for the saving of our souls. If there be someone coming to repentance right now, Lord, the forgiveness that you promise, may it be theirs. Your grace, your mercy be upon them as it was upon us, as it is upon us. Because we came to you. We thank God, Lord, for your mercy today. Father in heaven, I thank God for this corner that we have. Keep it protected. Thank God for holy men, holy sisters, praise God, doing the rounds. Lord, as we begin our travels, the second phase of our summer journeys, may we be blessed, anointed, prepare the ground in Winnipeg, Winnipeg Osus, Yorkton, Regina, Rostern, Calgary, Airdrie, Moose Jaw, skipped Moose Jaw. I'm getting to Rimby. Airdrie, then Red Deer, then Rimby, then Edmonton, and all the folks in between. Protect that house in Lamont, as my brother and sister have. Staying away for the next three weeks, give them protection, Lord. In Jesus' name. Thank God for the souls of these young people today receiving the word of God. Hallelujah. All the praise, all the glory, and all the honor goes to you. We are so thankful for the reading of the word today. Keep us. Praise God. Give us that strength. Give us that understanding. So we recognize the wiles of the devil, and all those fiery darts are quenched. In Jesus' name, Lord, I pray. Amen. And amen. Praise God. I trust this gives you not only some insight on who the devil is and how he attacks, how he wants you. Wants you today, he wants you tomorrow. It's not going to change. But by faith we stand. Steadfast. I trust the reading of the word was a blessing to you. The devil can roar all he wants, makes a lot of noise, but greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. That's how you and I stand by Jesus Christ. Praise God. Amen. So don't look at the situations, don't look at the weapons. Amen. They shall not prosper. We go in victory today. Until the next time we see each other, I know it's been a while. Until the next time we see each other online, be blessed. I love each and every one of you. My name is Lincoln. You're listening to That's the Truth. And remember, Amen. Let God put into your heart. Let God sow into your heart. Stay away from the devil. Amen. Submit yourself to God. Resist. We're going to see the enemy flee, and we're going to walk in victory. That belongs to you. Let's give God a good hand. Thank God for his word. Thank God for his son. Thank God for power to stand. Jesus' name. Hallelujah. His name is Jesus. Say it, say it, say it. Praise God. In the name of Jesus, we stand against the devil.
