Hey, you can do this right now. Ain't nobody going to know if you don't if you don't tell nobody. You ain't got to be accountable for nobody. Nobody's going to know. Just come on, man. Your wife ain't got to know. She ain't here. Like, Mike, just come on, man. Come back here. Come just come back, man. Come back home. That's what the enemy says. I rebuke you. Check this out. That's what the enemy said. Hey, hey, Jack. Come back home. Come back to your comfort zone. Don't that sound familiar?

the enemy telling you to do something of your past just all in your ear just talking and talking and talking and talking and before when the enemy used to talk like that like yeah yeah you you you making sense let's go my leaders let's get right to it heavenly father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Lord Father I just want to say thank you for this time Lord thank you for this hour Lord thank you for this day right now God father I thank you for this leader that's watching this video today. I don't know where this leader is from. I don't know what this leader is dealing with.

But Father, give me a word to give onto this leader that they may be impacted, Lord God, that you may ignite them in the spirit, heavenly father, so that they can go forth and do your will. Father, I don't know what they came to this video with, but I'm praying that they stay to the end. They don't leave, Lord God. They don't leave, heavenly father, that they don't leave, God, the same way that they came in, Lord God. Let them leave ignited in the spirit to go do the calling that you have gifted them with Jesus Christ.

Lord, we are here on this platform to motivate and inspire faith and confidence on those that you have called, Lord God. So, Father, let me decrease as you increase and give me the words that you have me share today with this leader right now, Lord God. Father, I rebuke any demon right now that has tried to enter into this leader. Lord, we rebuke it. We rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Father, let their soil as I plant this seed produce a 30, 60, 100fold increase in Jesus name. God, we glorify and we magnify the name of Jesus right here, right now.

We just want to say that we love you and it's in your precious son Jesus mighty name that we pray. Amen. Amen. My leaders, I've been looking for you. I've been looking for you because I got a word from the heavenly father. You're a special one. You're a chosen one. You're a leader that's on an assignment. And if you're watching this video today, I want you to truly get this down in your spirit. I want it to get down in your soul. You are called to do something very special. this message.

I was going to use a specific specific verse, but now as I finish praying, I'm going to talk about something very different than what I thought I was going to talk about. And I want to talk about the fact that my leader, the enemy, the one that's been tormenting you, only seeks to distract you so that you don't do the very thing that you're called to do. See, today was a beautiful day for me because as I'm chilling at the crib and I'm editing some photos for a friend of mine, shout out to Charity.

She just had her birthday this weekend and my wife and I took some beautiful photos and some amazing videos and I wanted to put this footage together so that I can make something something special. As I'm sitting there putting this footage together, trying to make something something special, I get tempted. There's these desires that begin to to come up. All right? And as these desires begin to come up, it's desires. There's lustful desires. Can I be real? Can I be honest?

If y'all seen my video that I've had on this this channel maybe two, three years ago, one of the things that I told you all that I had my own battle with for years, over 20 years, has been the battle with pornography. I would win some months, then I would lose some months. And it would just be over the years this perpetuating cycle that would happen over and over and over and over again. Just this battle with lust, this battle with temptation. I'm repenting for my sin. I'm asking God, forgive me, please God. Lord, not only forgive me, Lord, take this desire, take this burden off of me.

I can't be doing what you calling me to do when I'm dealing with this lust problem. Lord God, and due to God's grace and due to his love and mercy, he still blessed me with a beautiful wife. And I was able to tell my beautiful wife about my battle and my struggle with lust. Man, I know I'm not by myself, so I speak this boldly. And as I fought with my wife to overcome this journey of lust, God would deliver me from this, completely [Applause] [Applause] delivered. No longer is that stronghold something that I just willingly do. It's a fight. The enemy wants to come for me in that area.

He got to fight me for it now. He got to fight me. And so, check this out. Because my victory is won in Jesus Christ. My leaders, there's many times where even now till this day, the enemy wants to put things in my ear. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, J. Hey, it's just you right now. It's just you right now. Now, it's just you. Hey, nobody's going to know. Hey, you can do this right now. Ain't nobody going to know if you don't if you don't tell nobody. You ain't got to be accountable for nobody. Nobody's going to know. Just come on, man. Your wife ain't got to know.

She ain't here. Like, Mike, just come on, man. Come back here. Come just come back, man. Come back home. That's what the enemy says. I rebuke you. Check this out. That's what the enemy said. Hey, hey, Jack. Come back home. Come back to your comfort zone. Don't that sound familiar? The enemy telling you to do something of your past. Just all in your ear, just talking and talking and talking and talking. And before when the enemy used to talk like that, I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, you you you making sense. Let's go.

But today reminded me, this is why I got to speak about this message is that the enemy could be talking in your ears. The enemy can be telling you lies. The enemy could be reminding you of your past. The enemy could be doing all of these things, but we do have the power and we have the authority over this demon and speak to this demon and say, "Get behind me, Satan. We got the power, ability, and authority. Say, "I rebuke you." Say, the ability, and the authority say, "Hey, I don't no longer give into that no more. I don't know who you talking to. You got the wrong one.

You have the wrong one." And today, I'm reminded again as the enemy was trying to speak in my ear. Got him good this morning. Good Good workout. I'm in my zone. And I was reminded by God that the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy. In other versions, it says distract. And why is that? I had such a productive day today. It was so productive. And I realized the only reason the enemy was coming because it was mad that I'm about to bless somebody with a gift. It's mad that I'm going to bless somebody with a word. It's mad that I'm probably going to pray for somebody.

It's mad because I got things of God, my heavenly father, to do and take care of today. So it has to try to come in. And then the verse I always read in first Corinthians and in first Corinthians we going to read it together cuz it's powerful my leaders. And it's in I believe chapter 10. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I read this all the time on this channel. We going to read it again and we going to keep reading it again cuz some verses you got to read again. Some verses you got to meditate on it longer. Some verse you got to keep going back to.

Some verses you got to write this stuff down on the wall. Some verses you just got to keep talking about it until you sound like a broken record even to yourself. Cuz Jesus saves. Baby, check this out. It says in 1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13 it says there had no temptation taking you but as such as is common to man. So first things first any temptation that tries to come and chat in my ear is not a temptation that's only talking to me. It's a temptation that's talking to my brother in Christ. It's a temptation that's talking to my my sister in Christ.

It's a temptation that's talking to the globe. So there's no temptation that has taken you but such as is common to men. So any temptation that's taken me is common to men. But God, oh God, who God? Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiach, my Lord and my Savior. It says, "But God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that you are able, but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that you may be able to bear it." So when the enemy comes in and he's chatterboxing and he wants me to listen, at the same time the enemy has came in the building, I I got

this right here. What is this? I got the word of God. I got the word of God. At the same time the enemy comes chatting in, God is giving me a way to escape. And that way to escape is the word of God. Every word that comes out of the mouth of God. The enemy God has given me the way to escape through prayer. He tells the disciples that pray so you do not enter temptation. I got my prayer. And matter of fact, not only do I got my word and I got my prayer, I got my worship. The enemy was talking. I put on some worship music.

And the moment I put on that worship music and I'm editing it to some worship music. I can't hear the enemy no more. My leaders, I'm spitting this message right now because today was a victory for me. Today was a victory for me. I realized how far I've come on my journey today. See, I believe that many times when we are delivered completely, what the enemy loves to do is try to come in and convince you that you're not delivered. And from time to time, you need to be tested. Why do you need to be tested at times?

So you can see just how strong your faith is in Jesus Christ. My leaders, if you've been battling with this enemy that's been in your ear, I don't know who's talking to you. It may be a spirit that's talking to you. Enemy may have possessed somebody else. Maybe a real human being that's talking to you. All right? It may be the stuff that you watching that's talking to you. It may be the thing that you listening to, the music that's talking to you. It may be the movie or the cartoon that's talking to you. Who knows? It may be some of the books you reading that's talking to you.

It may be some of the social media content you watching that's talking to you. But my leader, I'm standing here today to remind you, you got power over the temptation. Check this out. There had no temptation taken you. But that is common to man. That is common to everybody around the globe. But God is faithful. The God that you serve, my leader, is a faithful God. The God that you serve, my leader, is the God that is giving you strength. The God that you serve, my leader, is the one that is giving you the power, the Holy Ghost.

The God that you serve is the one that's giving you the keys to get out of hell. The God that you serve is the one that asking you, "Hey, come to me and pray to me when it gets hard." The God that you serve says, "Come to me even when you do fall to temptation. Come back and just repent for your sin and just come back to me." The God that you serve serve It says this, he is faithful. He's faithful to you when we not faithful to him. He's been faithful to me all these 20 plus years of my addiction when I wasn't faithful to him in that area.

Oh God, I'm good in all these areas, but this God has still been good to me even in that one area that's been the toughest. And what I'm saying is my L, hey, this not a video about being feeling condemned. Christ said, I didn't come to condemn the world, but I came to save the world. Jesus saves. He said, "I didn't come to condemn the world, but I came to save the world." Where does he say these scriptures? I I just got to read this again. He says this in John 10 because the enemy would love for you to just feel like, "Dang, man. Ah, man.

I I just ain't never going to make it out of this thing." He says this in the book of John. We're going to read it together, my leader, cuz I love you so much, but Jesus Christ loves you even more. We going to read this together. You open up to John and you go to John and you go to John chapter 3. And in John chapter 3, here's what it says in John chapter 3:16, it says, "For so God," check this out, "for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world." Let me read that again. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world. So he didn't send his son to condemn the world. What did he send his son to do, but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned. So if I believe in Jesus Christ, I'm not condemned. And it says this, "But he that believeth not is already condemned because he had not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God." And this is condemnation.

So let me tell you what condemnation is again. that light is coming to the world. Verse 19 of John 3, light is coming to the world and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. So check this out. out. Condemnation is one not receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and loving the deeds of evil. Those of you all who have this contrite spirit, who are not voluntarily indulging in evil, and tend to fall short from time to time, I need you to understand that you're not condemned.

The word in Romans 8:1 says, "There's no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who are called, who love the Lord." Let's read this. I'm just going to bring y'all scriptures. Romans 8:1. Let's just let's go to it. Let's read it together. together. Somebody needs to hear this because if I was attacked like that, somebody else is probably attacked today. It says this in Romans Romans 8. It says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but are after the spirit." Check this out. "Who walk not after the flesh." You have been walking according to the spirit.

You've been praying to God. You've been reading your word, asking for a revelation, to have a deep understanding of God. Asking and praying to God to change your heart, to transform your heart, asking God, "Holy Spirit, go before me." And you've been allowing Holy Spirit to go before you. You've been walking after the spirit and not after the flesh. But if you've been willingly walking after the flesh, that's the condemnation. Willingly, willfully, that's a chosen condemnation because why? If you walk after principles of Satan versus principles of Jesus Christ, Yeshua Muhammad and it says that if we walk in the spirit, we cannot do the things of the the flesh.

So I'm reminded today when that chatterbot starts to come in the air and it's talking to me and I've been doing good. All right. I've been doing good and it starts to talk again and it's talking and it's talking. I got to get to praying. When it's talking and talking, it's talking again. I got to get to reading my word. When it's talking, when it's talking some more, let me call a brother and sister in Christ. When it's talking, it's talking some more. Let me realize that the word of God is right here. So, my leaders, I just want to say this, man.

If you've been dealing with lust and that chatter box has been there, Jesus Christ rebuked Satan so many times with the very word of God because the word is alive. It has power and we've been given power. We've been given authority to cast out demons, to trample over scorpions. Understand your power and remember Jesus Christ loves you. So, I'm spitting this today because I just prayed I had a whole different message, but this is what he wanted me to speak to you. I'm being honest and transparent. Even though I do what I do on this platform, I get attacked, too. And I'm trying to fight every day.

But when I realize that I don't have to fight because the devil's a defeated foe and I already have victory in Jesus [Applause] [Applause] Christ. So my lady, I just want to say I love love you, but Jesus Christ loves you more. Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Jesus Christ, Lord God, we come before you right now. We just want to say holy, holy, holy, we lift up your holy name, Lord God. The God that is sanctified and set apart, Lord God. We lift up the name of Jesus. And we magnify you right now, God. And we put you above our problems.

We put you above our temptation, Lord. We actually ask that you give us the strength, Lord, that we need to fight off the temptation that's trying to visit us this week, that's been trying to visit us this month, that's been trying to torment us this year. God, help us when it comes to the chatter box, how to speak the word of God to the chatter box. Help us when we're falling short and we think we're about to fall short to get on our knees and begin to pray and ask for strength. Show us how to get on our feet and begin to flee.

Heavenly Father, I'm praying for the leader that's been stuck in temptation. Hallelujah. Lord, I rebuke that spirit right now. That spirit of lust, that spirit of Jezebel, I rebuke it right now in the name of Jesus that's in this leader right now. If there's a spirit of lust in this leader, it must come out by the name and the authority of Jesus Christ. By the name of Jesus, it must come out in Jesus name. Lord, I plead the blood of Jesus over this leader. Lord, I pray that you will heal this leader. Lord, some leaders right now that I'm praying for that have been falling short. They've been feeling weak.

They've been feeling guilty. Father, after this message today, Lord, let them feel your forgiveness. Let them know that you have grace and you have mercy and you've forgiven them of their sins. And you're saying right now to take up their mat. Let them take their mat up and walk in sin no more, God. Father, we thank you for your love. Heavenly Father, we thank you for your strength. Lord God, we thank you that we have victory in you. Heavenly Father, we thank you that we have victory in the name of Jesus. Lord God, this will be the month where we begin to walk stronger than we've ever walked before.

This will be the month that we begin to walk boldly like we've never walked before. This will be the month where we experience a supernatural power that we've never experienced before. This will be the day where our lives change forever. So God, I just want to say thank you for this word. May this leader get this message. May this word not be spoken today and our enemy comes in to try to take the seed. No, let this word be planted on good soil today, right now, God. So I just want to say, heavenly father, we love you. We thank you. And it's in Jesus mighty name that we pray. pray.

Amen. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. My leaders, I love you. But Jesus Christ loves you more. If you need somebody to talk to, go to the link below.
