Because there is a diabolical personality of opposition that manifests itself every time there is a correction, so that the person does not receive the correction. Because if we are not corrected, how can we change? If our family would not listen — if they could hear us, they could repent, but they cannot hear us. Because there are diabolical personalities that are hidden.

It seems that in everything they are normal. If they were normal, what normal person knows there are two paths? Because there are only two — two, not three, two paths. One is narrow and one is wide.

The narrow path leads to salvation, but the wide path leads to eternal torment. What normal person in their five senses is going to reject that narrow path into the presence of God, where the streets are made of gold, where there are no thieves or plagues to destroy, in order to go to a place of torment where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth for eternity? What normal person could make a decision like that? Does what I am sharing with you make sense? Someone who understands me — what normal person is going to reject such a great gift? That we will be like the angels of heaven if we repent and keep his word? Is it not the greatest gift we can receive in this world? Who in their right mind is going to reject the greatest gift we can receive, in order to go to a place of eternal torment? It is because those demons are truly at work — madness, with all its branches, including autism, is the fundamental enemy in this time that we must overcome as a church so that there can be a great revival.

Blessings, welcome all of you to our church, Jesus King of Kings. We continue our teaching series Spiritual Warfare: Training Your Hand for Battle. We now begin part five, titled Favorite Areas That Satan Attacks.

There are areas that are primary — areas that, in spiritual warfare, are essential for him to affect us, and today we will be exposing those areas, as the Word says, so that our enemy does not take advantage of us; we are not ignorant of his schemes. He is cunning, and Satan has a well-structured army, well planned, well organized. They, so to speak, scan us — they try to find the area of vulnerability in each one of us, and there are areas where, generally speaking, all of us are more prone to being vulnerable; that includes the children. And one of the areas that Satan also seeks, first of all, to try to damage, to hinder, to deceive, is our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ — our obedience. But he is very cunning; he disguises himself as an angel of light. He does not come to tell someone directly, "be rebellious against your God" — no. He comes the way he came to the woman in Eden, to Eve: "Did God really say that?" He plants a doubt, a suspicion, a doubt — he makes it sound strange, saying, "If you eat of that you will be like us." That is how he comes: he comes with cunning to try to sow a doubt against the Word of God, against what the Lord has said, to see if in that way he can put us into disobedience. So there are many ways in which he works. The church in general — at the real moment it will be shown that these signs will follow those who believe; that is, this is the evidence, this confirms that they truly believe: in my name they will heal the sick, in my name they will cast out demons. Here the Word is essentially telling us to become disciples, and if we truly make true disciples, these signs — we will heal and set people free in his name. But then Satan comes and does this: he puts it into the mind of the person in the church, "No, there is no need to heal, no need to deliver — that was before; now it is enough that you preach the gospel." But the Lord said these signs will follow those who believe — that is the evidence, that is the confirmation that the disciples being made are truly genuine. But Satan says, "No, that is not something you should do" — it is the same thing that happened with Eve: he whispers in someone's ear so that the person does something different, opposed to God's command, and that is how he affects our relationship with God. And just like that, there are many other things, many other little lies where he twists the Word to affect our relationship with God. For example, in many churches they say there are no more apostles, yet the Word says that God gave five ministries to men, until we all reach the unity of the faith, the stature of a perfect man, for the building up of the church — but we have not reached the unity of the faith, we are not yet made perfect. Yet man says, "No, there are no more apostles and no more prophets; now there are basically only pastors." But that is not what the Word says. Things like that seem insignificant, but they are not — the purpose of the serpent is to damage our relationship with God, because if the Lord said, "I established five ministries," but man says, "No, now there is not even one single ministry, there are two or three," then man is trying to impose himself over God; man is being rebellious against God's command. One more example: the Word says that the woman is to keep silence in the church, because I do not permit her to exercise dominion or authority over men. But the serpent comes and says, "No, a woman can be a pastor — that was before, but now, yes, a woman can be a pastor; now women are empowered." But the Word of God says the woman is to keep silence in the church. So he puts forward things that please everyone, that please the ears, that please the flesh — of course it pleases a woman to be told, "Yes, you can be a pastor," of course that pleases her. But God said the woman is to keep silence in the church. What he is after is to affect our relationship with God — because if we supposedly continue with God, but in rebellion, how can we be with a holy God who, when one of the angels rebelled, cast him out of heaven after he had been there for thousands of years — thousands of years, millions, who knows — cast him down because he rebelled? Who said we can serve God in rebellion? That area of our relationship with God we have to guard very carefully. The way we guard it is by being sensible, being wise, studying the Word and obeying it, because heaven and earth will pass away, but his Word will not pass away. Another area that Satan seeks to attack is our time reading the Word, our time of prayer, our time of fasting. To prevent this from happening — I think everyone has had the experience of people coming to church and falling asleep; when there is prayer, they fall asleep, but not during a fast. If there is a church gathering with food, oh, many people come — food, they come to eat — but "we are going to fast"? Oh no, they no longer come. So the enemy has different strategies. If someone is already determined to make the effort to fast, to pray, and to read the Word, that very day people invite them out to eat — people who have never invited them, not even for a glass of water — that day they suddenly want to invite them to the best meal, the meal they like the most. If someone is focused on reading the Word, right then the phone starts ringing, calls come in, trying to distract them. He looks for it, he has different ways, different strategies. If someone is going to undertake a strong fast, right then the spouse suddenly gets upset, trying to stir up some conflict at home, all in order to stop the fast. So he has many strategies he uses, many, many different strategies to try to keep us from being able to fast. For example, in this end time, after the revival that is about to begin, there is going to be a great deal of persecution against us — well, there already is, but it is going to increase much more. Because once he cannot use any strategy to stop us from praying, to stop us from fasting, to stop us from fervently reading the Word and seeking God, since he no longer has any strategy left, well then, his way now is going to be to use the justice system, to try to get us persecuted, to twist the laws so that we get accused, thrown in jail, persecuted, killed. The point is, what he wants to prevent, at any cost, is for souls to be saved, for the kingdom of God to advance.

Another area Satan seeks to attack is the family. In one way or another, it is an area where I would say most of us have, or can have, a certain vulnerability, unless we have died completely to everything — and even then, one way or another, no one wants their children to be harmed. So he seeks to attack the children, the spouse, the people closest to us — that is what he seeks to attack, because what he wants is to distract us, he wants to try to make us waver, to see if we get discouraged, if we lose faith, to see if that way we back off, get intimidated, and stop praying, stop fasting, stop reading the Word, stop seeking God. And children in particular — he likes to attack them for two reasons: one, to hurt the parents, but there is another very important reason: he knows that if he manages to harm children at an early age, if he manages to cause them trauma, it becomes easier for him to control that person, that child, even after they become an adult, and it becomes much harder for that person, even as an adult, to escape, because of childhood wounds. That is an area where the Lord keeps teaching me still, I would say, because there are very deep cases in that area that come to me very regularly — children who have been traumatized by different events, including rape. But more than anything, I now minister to adults who were raped as children, whether boys or girls, and generally, through trauma, many mental demons enter that make the person bipolar, with multiple personalities, with a very changeable temperament, often with a great deal of anger, with a great deal of perversion. Demons enter that make that person very unstable for marriage and practically in every area of their life; a strong spirit of depression enters, of sadness, of anguish, of anxiety, of fear, of confusion, of insecurity, lesbianism, homosexuality — these enter through sexual abuse. So he knows that if he manages to get children attacked at an early age, he has damaged everyone at once — he damages the father, the mother, and he damages the children. So children are an area where Satan seeks to affect us; that is why we have to be shrewd, we must be shrewd, we must watch over our children, we must also pray fervently for them. It is true — our fight is not against flesh and blood; we are fighting against principalities, rulers, powers, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Even if we do everything in the flesh, if we are not spending time in God's presence praying for our children, our care is in vain — as the Word says, they labor in vain who guard the city if the Lord is not giving the protection. So, for our children to truly be firm and secure, as parents we must do what we ought to do, but the most important thing is to seek God's presence constantly in prayer for our children. On the other hand, there are also things that happen in the family that become a generational curse, and Satan loves to create generations of generational curses, because those curses allow him not only to affect the present generation but also future ones — which is what is happening with all of us, including me. I have dealt with this issue and I am still dealing with it, I am still fighting for my family, because there are many things that happened in the past that continue to affect the present generation — they continue to affect me, and even my children. Because of them, we must humble our hearts before the Almighty and seek him with fervor, with love, with perseverance, with constancy, so that not only we, but our children and our family, can be free of the curses that are affecting us. Because of those curses, many of our loved ones are caught up in alcohol; because of those curses, marriages and our families cannot be, are not, happy — there are many, many, many things happening that should not happen, that are not pleasant, there is a lot of confusion. That is why many of our loved ones are out partying, out carousing, living firmly attached to the world, without the fear of God — that is why they cannot hear us, even if we tell them, "Look, do not do this, do not use drugs, do not fornicate, do not do this, do not commit adultery" — they cannot stop, because there is no fear of God, the heart is hardened, they are chained, they are like zombies. It is like we are talking to a wall — they cannot hear us, even if we share the Word with them and lay the sin out plainly, spelled out with numbers one, two, three so it is very easy to understand — still they cannot hear us, because on account of these generational curses, the devil has them in mental chains, chains on their behavior, their conduct, their understanding, so that they cannot, they cannot understand us. So, if we truly love our family according to the flesh, the solution is to present our bodies as a living sacrifice to the Lord, in obedience — very important, obedience is the key word, obedience with humility. Secondly, because if we supposedly seek God but there is no obedience and humility, we are wasting our time. But if we are humble and obedient, then yes, we are truly seeking God with perseverance — that does not mean we will have victory overnight. Let us remember that Satan has had our family for generations, thousands of years creating curse after curse and chains and so many things behind it all. Those who are not fighting the battle do not understand me, but those who are fighting the battle know what I am talking about. There are demons — they have said to me, "Demon, who are you to cast me out of your family? I have been in your family since the first person who bore your last name — why do you want to cast me out now? This is my house." Demons have told me that — not one, not two, several. There are demons that have been in each of your families since the first person who had that last name. So we are fighting, we have an adversary, but the thing is, they have been there for so many generations, and it is not one demon or two or three or four — it is like a plague, there are so very many. But with patience, faith, and perseverance we obtain victory; with patience, perseverance, and dedication, we will see the glory of God in our family, and our family cleansed by the blood of Christ. But we must persevere, we must make the effort, we must turn off the channel of the world's distraction, so that we have time for the Lord. Another area Satan attacks is finances. In the times we live in now, it is obvious that finances are needed for basic things, and if there are no finances, a person can end up on the street, unless they own their own home somewhere they do not have to pay taxes and things like that. So Satan knows that if finances are attacked — no food, no gas, no electricity, no water — that obviously causes it to be easier for him to cause oppression, desperation, and instability. So he seeks to destabilize us at any cost, he seeks, for whatever reason, to make us lose our focus on the Lord and distract us, to make us anxious — even though the Word says be anxious for nothing. But he does things, he creates situations: he damages vehicles, breaks something that is needed, gets someone fired from work, makes a business deal go wrong — a perfect deal, and he makes it go bad. He makes it so that someone was about to buy from you, they liked it, they were about to give you the money, and Satan hardens their heart so they do not buy, because he knows you need that money to get by. So he seeks to attack finances — that is another area where he is trying to bombard us, and unfortunately our families, and sometimes many of us sin in various ways in the area of finances. When we have sinned in the area of finances, it is like making a covenant with him that now gives him greater ease in bombarding our finances. The more financial sins we or our families and ancestors have committed, the more openings, the more spiritual doors Satan has to bombard our finances, and because of that, many of us are struggling, because Satan has many doors, many ways to steal even the provision God gives us. But once again, the key is focus, obedience, dedication, perseverance, seeking God in prayer, in fasting, in a church like this one where there is someone who understands spiritual warfare, where the works of the devil are being rebuked and destroyed. But in that area of finances we also have to maintain focus, pray constantly — especially those of you who have a noble heart, who want to please God with your finances. The better the heart is in that area, the more available the heart is to serve Christ with its finances, the more the devil focuses on trying to damage those finances so you cannot do it, because he does not want you to be devoted to God with your finances. Health is another area where he bombards us — it is an area, and I would say now it is a stronghold he has built up in most of our families in this end time. In this end time — I do not think in the past, some 300, 400 years ago, not so much, I do not think so, because there was not so much medicine — but in this end time, because of medicine, he has made it very easy for himself. In an earlier time, I do not think it was so easy for someone to have access to hospitals; they did not even have that — people could barely reach a hospital by horse, or there were almost none. But in the last, I would say, 50 or 60 years, and especially in the last 30 or 40 years, with so many hospitals and so on, it has become very easy for him: he just causes a little pain, and someone runs off to the hospital, straight into drugs through medicine. There is a lot of medicine — some medicines even contain fentanyl, some contain heroin, a lot of medicine contains cocaine. So he seeks it, he wants us to use those drugs. But he also knows that pain is hard on anyone who already has access to healthcare — it quickly throws that person off track. The person wants to say, "I am going to pray, Lord, I am going to fast," and then a strong stomach ache comes, and the person runs straight to the hospital — they have already forgotten about the fast. So health is an area he has calculated very carefully, because it works like a control mechanism. It is like when they put a collar on a little dog, supposedly to train it, and if the dog crosses a certain point, they press a little button that gives it a shock, and the dog stops, backs away. Satan knows that health is like that little control collar — he knows that if he manages to find ways to establish curses that give him access to your health, every time you try to go past a limit he sets, he presses that little control button, and there comes the pain, and that is how he intimidates you — you have to run to the doctor, and that is it. It is a way of keeping you enslaved under his dominion. And it is sad, because I know that in that area, in almost all of our families, including mine, he has a lot of room. But even in that area, through faith, in a prayer where people are truly disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, as in this church, where the truth is preached and we walk in power, even in that area which is so difficult, because he already has a very strong hold on the health of many people — even in that area we can overcome, and it is written that we have overcome the enemy by the blood of Jesus Christ and by the word of our testimony, because we did not love our lives even unto death. With prayer, with fasting, with surrender to the Lord, those sicknesses come undone, because they are demons — and the good thing is that not only do the sicknesses come undone, but those demons themselves are destroyed. If we seek God with perseverance even in the area of health, not only are we blessed, but our family as well. The Word says in Luke 13:11–16: "And there was a woman who had had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, you are freed from your infirmity. And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work; in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him and said, You hypocrite, does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead it away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?" See — a bond, that is a chain, but the Lord loosed her from that chain. But who had kept her bound for eighteen years? Satan, a spirit of infirmity. The Lord said, "Spirit of infirmity, come out" — because that spirit of infirmity was Satan, who had kept that daughter of Abraham bound for eighteen years. So Satan uses sicknesses as a chain to bind you, to be able to limit you, to be able to control you, to tell you, "This far you may go and no further — if you go past that, I will give you pain; this far and no further, and if you go past it, I will send you to the hospital." It is a way of keeping you under slavery. But through the Lord we can be free, because where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty. The mind — that is another area that Satan fervently seeks to attack: the mind. He knows that whoever controls the mind controls the body; if he manages to take hold of a person's mind, then he controls that body, because what people think here is generally what they do — that is how we all act. Although, to a certain point, yes, we should trust our own reasoning, but if we trust in our own reasoning alone, we stumble completely; if we trust in that alone, we stumble, because we must trust first in the Word of God. The Word of God is the lamp that lights our path, our world in darkness, and if we trust only in our own thinking, in what we ourselves believe, we stumble. It is something Satan uses. But through the mind, obviously, that is why there are so many conditions like autism — if you notice, it is primarily men who have it. And why? Because we men are the head of the household, we men are the ones called to the priesthood. If he binds the men, that is a way of preventing — especially if he manages it, because he knows from the time we are in the womb, he knows in which of us there is a calling, and if he manages to bind us from the womb with a mental condition, then how are we going to be able to serve Christ as we should, unless we are set free from that mental condition? There are actually many people who still do not know themselves, who do not know who they are — they know the people they are because that is how they were born, that is how they were raised, but it is real from the womb, with a very moderate, very mild autism, for example. Satan has many men who have not realized it yet — they do not realize it — but when the light of Christ shines more strongly, they will realize that they were bound; when they are set free, they will say, "I truly did not know — now I realize my mind is different." They will realize it then, as has happened with many people when they are set free — until they are free, they do not realize they were bound, until the yoke on their back has been carried so heavy they did not even notice they had a heavy yoke. After being set free they say, "Pastor, I did not know — now I feel like a little feather, I feel like I can almost fly, I feel like I can almost walk on air," because they did not know they were carrying that weight — they had carried it since they were a boy or a girl, since birth, and had grown up that way, so they did not know there was a yoke, because it is spiritual. The devil is cunning, but the Lord is good, and the King is coming — he is coming very soon, and he is going to set his children free. He is coming for a church that is clean, without spot or wrinkle — and the spots and wrinkles we have, he is not simply going to remove them; we must be the ones who persevere, we must have faith. He is faithful to his promises, and he is coming; his Word will be fulfilled, his purpose will be fulfilled, and he is coming very soon for his church — but he is coming for a holy church. That is to say, his bride prepares herself; we must simply persevere, seeking him, persevering, persevering in faith, and we will not be put to shame for having trusted in him. But the mind is also an area we must pray over, regardless of whether one believes oneself to be perfectly fine or not — either way, in the love of Christ I invite you to humility. I stand on this side; the Lord, in his mercy, is using me to fight for minds, so that minds may be set free from autism, from madness, from insanity, from bipolar disorder, from dementia, from anguish, from negative thoughts, from constant thinking, irrational thoughts, thoughts of death — many, many things — borderline personality, narcissism, schizophrenia, many personalities; there are many different kinds of mental illness. And to me it is very clear that there are people who, once they reach a certain level of oppression, it becomes very clear that there is a problem — either they already know there is a problem, or they are diagnosed by a doctor. But I tell you, I find more people with mild-to-moderate problems that greatly affect their mental life, who do not know it, than people who do know they have a problem. In this time, mental illness, even autism, is like a plague — it is an infectious plague that, by working silently and with cunning, has managed to affect virtually the whole world. And I say to you in the fear of God, that even most of those who believe they are totally fine, who believe they have no mental problem at all, are affected by autism to a very small, almost invisible degree. But even so it is dangerous, because that demon works in people who do not know they are being affected — it works silently. What it does is act like personalities that activate at the exact right moment: if something good is happening, or someone is being preached to, right then that demon steps forward — "No, I do not want to hear this, I do not want to hear anyone talk about God" — but it is that demon manifesting and making the person reject the truth. But they work very silently, and the person does not know that diabolical personality is hidden there. That is why many cannot hear us. But along with that diabolical personality, which is caused by autism and other things, there are many others — one tries to correct people, and yes, there is an immediate response, opposing whatever is being said, because there is a diabolical personality of opposition that manifests itself every time there is a correction, so that the person does not receive the correction. Because if we are not corrected, how can we change? If our family would not listen — if they could hear us, they could repent, but they cannot hear us — because there are diabolical personalities that are hidden. It seems that in everything they are normal. If they were normal, what normal person knows there are two paths? Because there are only two — two, not three, two paths. One is narrow and one is wide. The narrow path leads to salvation, but the wide path leads to eternal torment. What normal person in their five senses is going to reject that narrow path into the presence of God, where the streets are made of gold, where there are no thieves or plagues to destroy, in order to go to a place of torment where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth for eternity? What normal person could make a decision like that? Does what I am sharing with you make sense? Someone who understands me — what normal person is going to reject such a great gift, that we will be like the angels of heaven if we repent and keep his word — the greatest gift we can receive in this world? Who in their right mind is going to reject the greatest gift we can receive, in order to go to a place of eternal torment? It is because those demons are truly at work — madness, with all its branches, including autism, is the fundamental enemy in this time that we must overcome as a church so that there can be a great revival. When those demons fall, let the mind be free to choose for itself — not have those demons speaking on people's behalf: "Do not talk to me about Christ, I do not want you to talk to me about Christ," scarcely a word, "do not talk to me about life, because I love death, I want to go to the lake of fire" — those are not the real persons speaking; not even witches actually want to go to the lake of fire. In reality they are deceived by the devil — who wants to go to that place, when even the devil himself does not want to go? So the mind is a place he fervently attacks; he knows that if he grabs hold of the mind, he probably has that soul. We have to understand this is also an area of enormous importance that requires special focus — the mind has to be free, so that we can serve Christ with all our heart, in truth and in righteousness. The emotions — another area he seeks to attack, putting chains on the emotions. If he manages to seize the emotions, it makes us unstable; if he manages to bind our emotions, it easily increases strife between us; if he manages to bind our emotions, it causes problems in marriage, causes problems with the children, causes problems at work, causes problems wherever we go, causes sadness, causes depression. So he seeks to bind the emotions, because if he binds the emotions — the emotions are an area he is very fond of — because through them he already has a more direct route to the mind. Through the emotions, if he manages to cause a weakness in that area, an enormous spiritual door opens there that allows many demons to enter. So the emotions are also an area we have to guard. That is why the Word says, be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, come to God; for we have not received a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, of power, and of a sound mind. The emotions have to be cared for, we have to pray over them too. Personality — in many people there are false personalities. These are things that, in truth, if you are not very spiritually attuned, you can barely notice, you cannot see them. In some people the personalities are so hidden that the person themselves never realizes they have a false personality — it takes someone with spiritual discernment to watch them, hear them speak, hear them express themselves. A person with discernment notices, "Okay, there is something here that is not normal — this was her, this was not her, this was him, this was not him." A person with discernment notices when it is the person speaking or when it is a demon speaking. But if there is no discernment — and even with discernment sometimes — it can still deceive you, because in reality these demons are very cunning, very cunning, they are like professional impersonators, and since they are using that same person's body to speak, it becomes difficult at times, unless it is by the grace of God, to discern whether it is the person, whether it is the real person or not the person — because it is their own body, and they are impersonators trying to behave like that same person. It requires the grace of God, a gift from God, discernment, to be able to discern. But the devil does place false personalities — I have come across people who have a great many false personalities, especially people who have been raped; there are so many false personalities — a personality of a little girl, one of an adult, an aggressive one, a violent one, one full of anger, one full of rage, a sad one, an introverted one, one full of lust, one full of perversion, an adulterous personality, personalities that do not care about anything, rebellious personalities, a foul-mouthed personality, many personalities. The good news is that everything the devil has done is burned up by the fire of God, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, everything the devil has damaged can be restored, can be given back through the Lord. The good thing is that we have a great King, and he is merciful — the devil is a destroyer, but the Lord builds up. It does not matter what problem there is, what false personalities, what mental problems — with faith and perseverance, we will see the glory of God. Character, too — he seeks to attack our character, because if we become compulsive, if we become agitated, then we cannot receive correction. It also becomes easier, in any situation — at work, in any activity we do, even in church — for conflict to arise, if we are not completely normal, stable, relaxed in our character; at any sign of opposition we react badly, and then it becomes a conflict, and it becomes easier for him. If he manages to unsettle our character, it becomes easier for him to destabilize any area of our life, including the home, work, finances, the family. If he manages to greatly unsettle our character, he manipulates us into even mistreating our own children — we can mistreat our spouse. If he manages to unsettle our character, many things spiral out of control. He also seeks to attack our willpower. That is to say, he is an enslaver, the devil, and he wants to forcibly rule over people; if he manages to bind the will, then it becomes very hard for us to decide for ourselves. In humility I share this revelation with you — it is something we all know but do not see clearly. It is what happens with people out there: they are slaves, their willpower is bound. But it happens that you go and see that they are doing badly — "I love this person, I do not want their soul to be lost" — and you go and speak to them and they cannot hear you, even though it may seem that it is them refusing to listen — they are bound by the devil, they are chained; their will, their decisions, their mind, their emotions, everything is bound, they cannot decide for themselves. That is why some of us have to say, "Lord, here I am, here I am, Lord, use me, Lord, I am willing, Father, because I want your children to be free — use me, Lord, so that your children, those you have called by your name, may be set free from the devil's chains." The Lord wants some Moseses — some like Moses, who make themselves available to be used by him to set his people free, because they are bound — and it is those very people who do not know it. Even the church itself does not realize that the people out there are bound. That is why those who say deliverance is not necessary do not know what they are talking about. I am going to share a secret with you — do not let it reach certain pastors, because many pastors will get angry — I will tell you a secret: the devil has those pastors bound, those who say deliverance is not necessary. Because if they are not free, they are slaves — they are slaves right now, they are enslaved out there. The kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power. If souls are not free, even if they supposedly repent, that repentance is incomplete, because the devil still has them bound like slaves. Even if someone says, "I repent," a leg bound in chains cannot move on its own — how are they going to bear fruit for the kingdom of heaven if that chain is not broken so that they can walk and go free? They are bound in the spirit. We have to fight. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood; we are fighting against principalities, rulers, powers, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. The pastors who say we should not set people free, that we should not heal people — in the love of Christ, I do not judge them, but we all have a judge, we will all be judged by the written Word. But in the love of Christ, I invite them to repent. If they do not repent, the Lord is coming soon and will give to each one according to their deeds, and he said that whoever is not with him is against him. The Lord himself told the Pharisees who judged him for casting out demons by Beelzebub, "He who is not with me is against me, he who does not gather with me scatters." Those of you who believe deliverance is not necessary are scattering, because we are fighting — it is the end time, even the beast is fighting against us. Here in this church, from time to time the beast manifests, because the beast is already out there and is fighting against the church — but it is fighting against the true church of Jesus Christ. It is not fighting against the Pharisees, it is not fighting against the blind, because the blind serve it, the blind are its slaves. But if they humble themselves, their heart turns to God — the Lord came to make disciples. I invite you: set your heart to be a disciple; you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. The devil also seeks to destroy vehicles, means of transportation, devices, the phone we use — especially if we use it to serve God, if we use it for a purpose useful to the kingdom of heaven, the devil comes to attack that, because he knows that if your vehicle breaks down and you need it to go to work, then he has shut you down; he has caused you a serious problem right there, something that will worry you, something that will throw you off balance, because he is a thief — he came to steal, kill, and destroy. If he breaks down your vehicle, he is stealing money from you right there. So he also seeks — one of his favorite areas to attack is vehicles, the means of transportation, and the means of communication, to cut off our communication. We should also pray persistently over our vehicles. And to conclude, when he can no longer stop us with any of those things, then the attack comes directly against us — accusing us, harassing us, having us persecuted, just as with the Lord. They set stumbling blocks for the Lord, one here, one there, the Word says; and then Satan departed from him for a season after he had been tested — he left him for a time, meaning he would come back to try to trip him up along the way. But once none of that worked — the accusations, the persecution — once he has used every tool he has, and we still remain firm in the Lord and overcome through faith, then the attack comes directly against us. That is what is going to happen when the church rises up in faith, when hearts turn to the Lord and become his disciples — strong persecution is going to come against us, because once he cannot stop us any other way, once we escape him, once the control mechanisms he uses to keep people enslaved no longer work, because the weapons have been set free — since he cannot enslave us directly anymore, now they will use the law, they will twist everything, they will get people accused, they will have their own families hand them over as if they were criminals, they will have them killed, thrown in jail. If they cannot intimidate us with spiritual tools, they will now use carnal weapons — the same people will be turned against one another to destroy each other. For this too we must pray, and as the Word says, even toward those who mistreat us, slander us, accuse us — humility, understanding, compassion — because as the Word truly says, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Even for this we must pray, because how pitiful are those who allow themselves to be used to cause the disciples to stumble — because it is necessary that stumbling blocks come, but the Lord said, woe to those through whom they come; it would be better for them if they had never been born than to allow themselves to be used to cause someone to stumble. So those who allow themselves to be used to cause stumbling do not know the punishment that awaits them if they do not repent. Unfortunately, many of the people the devil is going to use as stumbling blocks are going to be our own children, our own father — people very close to us. We do not want them to be condemned, we do not want them to be punished — compassion for them, and compassion for everyone; let us pray for them too, pray for them, that perhaps by the mercy of God their hearts might soften and they might turn back to him, and be saved too, so they do not have to perish. This is the word I had for you today, but now we will take a moment to pray. But before we do, if you feel this teaching has been edifying for you, if you feel you have received something new, that you have learned something new, that you are awakening to the reality we live in, please be so kind as to like the video and share it, and also leave a comment below about what you think of the teaching — the part you liked and the part you did not, let us know. It is a way of supporting us; for some reason, the social media algorithm favors it when things are shared, when comments are left, when likes are given — the more that happens, the easier it is for the algorithm to then share it with other people. That is one way to support us. But there is also another way to support us: for those of you who feel it in your heart, your offerings are necessary so that we can continue doing the work we do. Monday through Monday we are here praying for people — we simply do it privately in our Zoom room. We are healing, setting people free, and fighting the spiritual battle for the glory of God and for the blessing of many. Everyone is welcome to join. Below the video you will also find a link to our Zoom group, where you can join in private prayers starting at eight in the morning, all day long — there are at least ten hours of prayer every day, seven days a week. You are welcome to join, and there you will also find the link where you can support our church with an offering. Your offerings are important — they allow us to have the resources we need to keep helping other people who wish and are willing to be helped. Now I invite everyone to stand up — let us pray. Let us come against those demons of Satan's army that he has sent to attack the different areas of our lives. I cover everyone who is listening to me with the blood of Jesus Christ. Let your kingdom come to us, Lord, and let your will be done in our lives, as it is in heaven. We thank you, Lord, for the Word you allow us to hear, for the Word you also give me to share. We thank you, Lord, for the revelations you allow us to understand. We thank you, Lord, because you are exposing our adversary and giving us the spiritual tools, the spiritual weapons, so that we can destroy him along with his works. We give you the glory and the honor is yours, Lord, and we take up your spiritual weapons, and in your name and under your authority, we come against those demons that bind the mind, that bind the personality, that bind the character, that bind behavior, that bind finances, that damage vehicles, that want to harm our children, that destroy the family, that affect our health, that seek to come between us and our walk with the Lord, that try to prevent us from bearing fruit for the Almighty — and we bind each one of them in the name of Jesus Christ. We bind Satan in the name of Jesus. We cover every member of our family, every person under the sound of my voice, with the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is power in the name of Jesus. The gates of Hades shall not prevail against the church of God; he who is with us is stronger than he who is in the world. The name of our Lord Jesus Christ is above every name, and before his glorious and powerful name, every knee must bow and every tongue must confess that Jesus Christ is King of kings, to the glory of God the Father. Let there be a firestorm upon the whole army that has been sent to bind souls, in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus — no weapon formed against us shall prosper. Just as the walls of Jericho fell, let every stronghold the devil has built fall, in the name of Jesus. Let there be division upon the whole army of the enemy, and let them divide and attack one another in the name of Jesus Christ. Let there be fire and light in every person who has had any contact with us, in the name of Jesus. Let all the powers of darkness that seek to use those people for evil disintegrate by fire and by the blood of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus. The name of our Lord Jesus Christ is above every name, and before his glorious and powerful name every knee must bow. We have received power and authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means harm us. The Lord is a strong tower; those who trust in him and keep his word enter into it and are safe there. If God is with us, who can be against us? It is written that even the lawful captives of the mighty shall be rescued, and the Lord will contend with the oppressors, and with those who oppressed. The Lord will make them eat one another's flesh and drink one another's blood, and they will be drunk with one another's blood as with wine, and all will know that the Almighty, the Mighty One of Jacob, is with us. Let every oppressor who has oppressed the mind, the personality, the character, behavior, divide and attack one another in the name of Jesus. Let them eat one another's flesh and drink one another's blood in the name of Jesus Christ. Let them get drunk on one another's blood as if it were wine, in the name of Jesus. I strike all darkness with the light. Let the skin of every demon melt off them while they stand, let the tongue of each one melt in their mouth, in the name of Jesus. Let there be a firestorm upon the armies of darkness that opposed the salvation of our loved ones, in the name of Jesus. We cover every member of our family, from the oldest to the youngest, with the blood of Jesus Christ. Let those diabolical chains that make them resist the truth, reject correction, reject the truth, refuse to repent of sin, refuse to turn away from the world, from alcohol, from drugs, from disobedience, from rebellion — let those spiritual chains be broken in the name of Jesus. Let every diabolical programming the devil has placed in behavior, in personality, in character, in the mind, in the emotions, be broken in the name of Jesus Christ. Let there be restoration of the mind, restoration of the emotions, restoration of the personality, restoration of character, in the name of Jesus. I strike all darkness with the light, I strike the whole army of darkness with the light. There is power in the name of Jesus Christ. Darkness and light clashed, and darkness did not prevail; darkness will not prevail against the light. If God is with us, who can be against us? I command the whole army of the enemy to kneel down in the name of Jesus. Let fire come down and destroy all darkness, in the name of Jesus. I strike all darkness with the light. Let the whole army of the enemy be burned by fire, in the name of Jesus. I strike all darkness with the light. Let the skin of every demon fighting against us melt off them while they stand, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let the tongue of each one melt in their mouth, in the name of Jesus. Let the eyes of each one melt in their sockets, in the name of Jesus Christ. I strike all darkness with the light. Fire of God upon all darkness, in the name of Jesus Christ. I strike all darkness with the light. Let fire come down and consume every mental illness that is affecting many people, in the name of Jesus. Autism, I rebuke you, come out in the name of Jesus Christ. Bipolar disorder, come out in the name of Jesus. Anguish, come out in the name of Jesus Christ. Double-mindedness, come out in the name of Jesus. Confusion, come out in the name of Jesus Christ. Insanity, come out in the name of Jesus Christ. Narcissism, come out in the name of Jesus. Lack of understanding, come out in the name of Jesus. Multiple personalities, come out in the name of Jesus. Jezebelic personality, come out in the name of Jesus. Satanic personality, come out in the name of Jesus. Oppositional personality, get out in the name of Jesus. Altered personality, come out in the name of Jesus. Let every personality of darkness disintegrate by fire and by the blood of Christ, in the name of Jesus. Let every mental stronghold be broken, in the name of Jesus Christ. Depression, come out in the name of Jesus. Anxiety, get out in the name of Jesus. Sadness, come out in the name of Jesus. Confusion, come out in the name of Jesus Christ. Let every personality of darkness disintegrate by fire, in the name of Jesus. Spirit of Delilah, come out in the name of Jesus. Spirit of Herodias, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Leviathan, come out in the name of Jesus. Lucifer, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Spirit of Babylon, come out in the name of Jesus. Every diabolical argument that raises itself against the knowledge of God, we bind it in the name of Jesus Christ. Let all the demons who set up diabolical arguments to keep people from repenting be consumed in flames, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let every mental stronghold disintegrate, in the name of Jesus. Let there be a firestorm upon the whole army of the enemy, in the name of Jesus. Let the skin of every demon melt off them while they stand, in the name of Jesus. Let the tongue of each one melt in their mouth, in the name of Jesus. Let the eyes of each one melt in their sockets, in the name of Jesus Christ. I strike the enemy's horses and riders with confusion and blindness, in the name of Jesus. Let the whole army of darkness burn in flames, in the name of Jesus Christ. I heal each one of you and each one of your loved ones with the blood of Jesus Christ, and I bless each one of you in the name of Jesus. Thank you for having been with us — until our next time together.
