and we are rolling I’m back with Amanda
buys thank you for coming I think everyone who watches my channel knows who you are you’re Amanda buys of Canaan
Ministries out of South Africa um give us a little Lowdown of what you
do and how how people can help you because you’re always the one helping
everyone else so go ahead and take a moment and indulge and and the ask so to
speak whoa um sure I I I don’t know what to say Carmen
uh my heart is full you know I I really I’m so blessed with
um you know everybody’s just reaction and um feedback and and so yeah it’s it’s
that’s it’s a blessing you know it’s something that you you live the whole
life I mean it’s been many years and to to
see this and you know just to be part of this entire message is such a blessing
so yeah I
you’re so speechless all right well then I will do it for you um this beautiful woman and her Ministry
have helped so many people and I personally have been touched and I know that a lot of like where I can reach
people have been touched and so I I’m just gonna I’m just gonna put it out there if you feel led by God a hundred
percent to donate any amount of money to this beautiful uh Ministry please do so
and so now we get to work because she is a teacher and she is a brilliant teacher
at that and um I will be interrupting because I watch her all the time and she
just rolls and so they’re J like literally she just rolls and so I have to interject to be able to ask questions
and the reason I do that is because I feel like if it’s a question on my heart or if I see someone in the chat then I
want to be able to bring that out so I will be interrupting Amanda
no problem all right I will make sure you can share the screen I’m assuming you have the
usual good stuff um hold on that’s the wrong button
why is it doing that oh I know because I was doing it wrong all right now we’re good you should be able to share yes got
it okay so that’s
that’s good is that fun absolutely I can see you okay
all right so um what we’re going to talk about is the uh on spiritual warfare and it’s
about the Rules of Engagement and so um I just found that this is such
an important topic um common because so many people get into
trouble when they go into spiritual warfare and I think you know that I can just bind
anything and I can rebuke anything and I can do anything and not realizing that
There Are Rules of Engagement and there’s ranking in God’s Army and yeah
so I’ve just put together a very simple easy to understand presentation uh just
for our protection and um you know we’ve we’ve ministered to so
many young people that have gone on mission trips and have not been warned about
um you know the the danger of moving out of your ranking and just taking things
because we have authority and we we can bind and rebuke and we can do all these
things but not understanding how it really works and so yeah go ahead
um we’ve just had young people come back from the mission Fields uh absolutely like mincemeat you know just just Child
by the enemy and and and damaged and they don’t want to do anything you know
have anything to do with spiritual warfare which is sad because it’s part of our calling
um you know when when you get born again you automatically signed up you you part
of God’s Army and and training needs to start boot camp needs to start and you
need to know um you know what can I do what can I do what weapons do I have you know those
kind of things um and and the really important thing is
um you know how do I grow in in God’s Army and where do I find things in the
word that I can learn from so that’s no I think this is so necessary and
um you can either answer this now or at the end because I do think um for me I’ve had a shift in my own
mind I’ll be curious where you are because one of the things I would love to say is like I am nowhere near where
Amanda is and so please stop expecting me to be you are so um gracious so beautiful so
um you know you’re just so tempered you have like unbelievable people skills and
one of the things that I think happens when people get very excited about being a Christian sharing it and and taking
over um you know Dominion of their own Temple so to speak is I think that people
sometimes leave the concept of discipleship and they go into fighting
powers and principalities and I personally find that that is where
people go wrong but I’ll be curious to see what your thoughts are yeah I
totally agree oh you do okay I do I do I do because you know it’s so important
that we understand um you know discipleship and and to be
trained um and and to be minted uh that is so important and instead of you know
running after all the big stuff and the important stuff um you know I can go to war I can go to
war and I can go and fight and I can do my thing but do I have a safe place to
come back to because that is so important that I have
relationships yeah and and if I have broken relationships and I don’t have a
safe place to come back to that’s when I’m vulnerable when I come off the battlefield I’m extremely vulnerable and
I need uh the safety of loved ones that are around me where I can debrief and
we’re you know so so I have to put that into place before I go out to to walk
and so you know many times we have people going out to war doing all these
great stuff but but then when they come back their own lives are are then
um destroyed because the enemy gets hold of them so um I totally agree that discipleship
and mentoring and relationships are key
good to know good to know um I just realized I put the wrong um I’ll need to change it I put Canaan
ministries.com and it’s dot org huh yes okay all right I’m gonna I’m gonna put
it in the chat as well so people have full access to it anyone that wants to donate money to your lovely Ministry
okay so so thank you for that and um and I’ll be looking forward to seeing how
this plays out and then I might have a follow-up question on that question because I think it’s a really important
um I think it’s the most dangerous thing I recently saw somebody almost die from
overreaching and deliverance sure
no that that we’ve seen we’ve seen some something really serious counter-attacks
and just because they didn’t have you know everything in place um yeah that got pretty hurt and it
doesn’t matter what the intentions are yeah no no you’ve you’ve just got to
have the wisdom of those that go ahead the generals in the Army you know that
that train the troops and that nobody moves out of line so that’s so important
all right yeah okay so we are trying to understand the role of spiritual warfare
and also understanding the the whole concept of of authority and power and ranking and
God’s Army so um for us to know what what is Authority uh
Authority is the right that I have to rule and Reign and we know that God gives us Authority
um and it’s not but it’s not about power and so it’s it’s so important that we
realize um you know what what is the difference between Authority and power uh so that I
I can um walk in that which God is mandated to me but um I’m not all Macho and flexing
my muscles and then the enemy takes me out uh because you can’t challenge the
enemy you know um I have a lot of respect for the enemy um and he’s been around a lot longer
than what I have and he knows the Bible pretty well um so I I don’t I don’t take on any
challenges um you know it’s it’s very important if
you do get challenged that you back off and you say sorry I’m not going to accept any challenges if you do
challenge then you will you will um turn to my God and he will deal with
it I’m not I’m not going to play that game so it’s just important to understand you
know where do I fit in and what I’m allowed and not allowed okay so power will follow Authority so
the first thing that I need to understand then is that I’ve been given Authority and the power is the power of the holy
spirit it’s it’s not my power it’s not because I flex my muscles
um you know or I it’s the amount of word I know or whatever and it’s important to
know the word because that’s my sword um but that it’s not my power and and
that keeps me humble to realize that um you know it’s it’s not what I do but
it is what he has already done two thousand years ago um what the Lord Jesus has done and it’s
because of what he has done and that he he then empowers me
um in his name and and you know you just realize that that those are the kind of
boundaries that I need to always remember keep it in mind who I am and
who God is okay so um we have Luke 10 verse 17 and
18 and this is such an um important scripture where um Jesus gives the 70 Authority
any and he says to them now go and you know drive out the demons and and and
and uh spread the gospel and they come back with so much joy
and saying Lord even the demons are subjected to us in your name so I mean they were pretty excited because things
were happening and uh they didn’t know if it was possible because you know this
is now in the New Testament and this is now discipling them and so they see but
wow this is awesome you know things are happening the demons are listening and
then this is the answer that is so key and Jesus said to you to them I saw
Satan falling like a lightning Flash from heaven and that’s when he was
kicked out because of the Rebellion and then he goes on he says behold I
have given you Authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions and
physical and mental strength and ability I love the Amplified it really explains
it well so I need physical and mental strength and ability over all the power
that the enemy possesses because when Goliath was shouting at Little David and
he was trying to and shouting at the armies of Israel um and and trying to threaten them and
um you know that they were they were in a state of panic and fear um that you need that mental strength
when the enemy is intimidating you and he’s trying to get you to back off that
you know who you are and like David I said who is this uncircumcised
Philistine and he knew who he was in God and he didn’t back off
so that is so important that it’s you know it’s I need to be physically strong
you know if you are fasting um it’s a battle already on its own and
so when you actually go into combat then um I’m just going to put a bunny trail
in here but it’s it’s important that you have meat because you need the protein
and so um you know to build to build your strength and so uh the mental
strength of course is to know who you are in the Lord and to know the word and not to back down and so uh we we we
receive this word with with gratefulness with Thanksgiving that God has given us
all the power that we need over the enemy and nothing shall in any way harm
you and and to understand that and to have it grab to be grounded in his word
and when you do fear and when your heart starts to pump and your your knees start
to weaken to know that you know that he’s given us this word and he says
nothing will harm me he is in charge he watches over me and I know that he he’s
with me and the battle is the Lords the victory is mine so this is so important
and then on in verse 20 it says nevertheless do not rejoice at this that
the spirits are subject to you so don’t get excited for the demons you know go
into a hype because the demons are are afraid of me I mean that that’s going to
start pumping up your pride and so you’ve got to watch for that and he said don’t rejoice in this he says but
Rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven and so it is so uh key that you must be
known in in heaven um in and that’s second heaven as well
where Satan is ruling and so that when you get up in the morning and you start to pray that he should say oh no she’s
awake you know and and she’s busy praying and so um your your voice should
be known in heaven so you have a voice print you have a frequency with your
voice and so it’s important that um you know Jesus is telling us don’t
rejoice and get excited about the demons um you know focus on the fact that
you’re known in heaven that your voice is known that you are a Praying person
um that you speak the word um and that’s what we should be rejoicing in so it’s just a Focus Shift
because people tend to be uh they get excited and they’re in for the hype and
you know the excitement of seeing demons manifest I I get so upset when I see
cameras you know in Services where people are manifesting and they’ve got
these camera guys and they wait for the camera guy to come and put the camera on
the person and show all of this and do this whole thing about the demons talking to them and it’s all a big hype
and um it’s a show and it’s a circus there’s actual YouTube channels that
that’s pretty much all they do which is yeah that is such a it’s such a personal
um yeah it’s very invasive in my mind yeah it’s it’s so degrading and you know
if you if you realize you’re working with the with the with the cherry on the
top of God’s creation I mean this is this is the best of all
that God ever created was the human being and so we have no right
to try and boost our ego uh and our pride by saying how powerful
we are um you know because these demons are are challenging us or shouting and screaming
or whatever but but it’s the Dignity of the person that you need to protect and so the minute there’s a manifestation
within a group of people you take the person outside and you deal with them alone in private
and you protect their dignity and so it is so important that you don’t make a
circus and you don’t exploit them at all um that is so shameful because then it
goes on to uh online and everybody sees what you look like when a demon
manifests through you and that is really um so horrible so um I I get so upset
when I see that common I really do because it’s not fair it’s not fair on
the people no I agree all right so um the enemy is not so much
afraid of us preaching the words of Jesus he’s afraid of us submitting to the
authority of Jesus such a difference if he can yeah such a difference because if
he can feed your Rebellion if he can feed oh I can bind anything I can rebuke
anything you know I have the power and the authority and that’s what I’m focusing on then I’m going to totally
miss it and the enemy is going to get me and that’s why I say I have tremendous respect
um for what goes on in the spirit world and for what the enemy can do
um and and it’s definitely not to say that he’s just Mickey Mouse and his teeth has been pulled and all of that
stuff because it’s not true um he’s he’s pretty dangerous and I you
need to to to know the rule book you need to know the rules of engagement and
you really need to have the fear of God upon your life before you go into any
territory of the enemy before you tackle things you know and start to address
things in spiritual warfare you really need to be very very careful and so
um start praying that you will love the truth and that you pray that you will
have the fear of the Lord and that’s not a negative fear that is a reverential fear a respect
for who God is but also for who the enemy is and and not to
um you know flaunt and be full of Pride and whatever to to say but I can do it
you can’t you can’t do it if if God doesn’t do it and if Jesus doesn’t go ahead of us
um we’re gonna really get hurt and then you know into trouble so um
Satan is afraid when we start submitting to the word
and we start obeying and walking within the commands of the word
um you know of of how God is telling us how to engage in battle and when we
start respecting that and oh being obedient to that that’s when Satan’s afraid because he can’t get to us but
the minute we move into Pride that is Lucifer let’s Lucifer’s character so the
minute we move into Pride he’s got us and so um yeah we can really I have
counseled so many people that have really got so wounded because they stepped out of out of their um the
boundaries of the word so um how do we then obey the you know
the authority of God I’ve got submit to the authority of Jesus we do this by
living a lifestyle of loving obedience and so Lord I obey your word because I
love you not because I have to you know many times um of course there is you know there
there is the rule book and it can be where people see the Bible as it’s just laws and do’s
and don’ts and you know all of that and that’s not at all how we walk with God we walk with him because we love him and
we obey his word because we love him and so love should be the key love should be
the motivation and so uh we are then submitted to God’s
will father what do you want me to pray um how do you want me to do you want me
to go on on this battle do you want me to be part of this Army that’s going to fight is this on your heart for me
and so it’s so important to be tuned in to listen to God and not just to run
into battle and and you know be Rambo or whatever
um but to really hear what is God God for you and so biblically Authority is
about representation I’m representing God and that means I have to hear what he
tells me I can’t just do what I want I need to listen and obey and so we have
authority in the name of Jesus when we are representing his will
and so I don’t have authority when I’m doing my own thing when I decide how I’m going to pray and
I’m going to deal with the devil I will show the devil a thing or two you know those those kind of of comments and
attitude of heart is so dangerous and so um I need to be totally submitted
because I’m representing his will on earth and the emphasis is on the sender
it’s on Jesus not me and so I need to get off the uh away from the spotlight
and get back into the shadows and put put Jesus on the spotlight because it’s
about him and so if if in a counseling session you are dealing with a ritual
abused person and the witch part would come forward or the Warlock part would
come forward and you know in in the occult they love challenges they love to
threaten they love to um you know to to really go for you and
get you afraid and so uh just like Goliath shouted at David and so
um you know it’s it’s when they are uh when they challenge you it’s what are
you gonna do what are you going to do and sometimes you know they get quite violent and they want to grab you and
you see their hands come up and they want to grab you and you know if you immediately take the authority you know
who you are they back off because they know you know who you are and so um it
is so important not to uh fall for the for the the tricks with that gets played
but also not to try and be Rambo no don’t be Superwoman or Superman
um for Jesus you know it’s he Jesus is the one where the emphasis is okay so uh
Jesus example this for us because everything he did um he knew that he was sent by his
father and he submitted to God’s will he he he said he only did what the will of the
father he never ever did anything on his own and so um common it’s you know I was I
was ministering to a uh a Survivor um and she was a pastor’s wife
um programmed the Nazi you know the whole German stuff and
um and we went to Israel it was in the in in the time that we went to Israel on a
trip and I remember her you know they the the survivors get very dependent on
on Ministry time and um so it’s very important for them to be
connected to you and I I said to her that’s fine we can stay connected and if she has any problems I’m happy to pray
for her even while we’re in Israel and I remember that she was really crying out
you know desperately um just for support and we were in The Garden of Gethsemane
and um I had this amazing encounter with God and he showed me when Jesus Took the
cup and he started to drink he he dropped he drank to the very last
drop there wasn’t a drop left in the cup and the reason was father not my will
but let your will be done and he knew that by drinking that cup
there was there was really a tough battle waiting for him he knew that it
was not going to be easy and yet he said if he could he would pray that this cup would pass but he
said no father not my will but lecture will be done and I shared with her
because I said to her this is what I felt that God wants our will
because he does nothing if he doesn’t have our will um he got he gave us a free will
and what they end and the first thing the enemy does is he binds our will it puts us into bondage
whether it’s an addiction whether it’s the occult whether it’s sexual stuff whatever but he puts us into bondage
because he knows the power of the freedom of the will for you to choose
and so when he puts chains upon your will then he’s got you and you are then
submitted to him and um it was like she was in a panic a
place of panic where she was saying but Amanda I can’t I can’t you know and I’m
battling this and I can’t you know I’m really I’m struggling and then and I explained to her and I said you know but
but Jesus drinking that cup and finishing right to the very bottom there was nothing left meant that he
made it possible for you to take back your will and to stand up
and to start resisting because the Warfare lies in your will
and so the you know Jesus made the way where there wasn’t a way to get freedom
from bondage of my will yeah and so because he finished that cup
I now am able to take my will back the power of my will the freedom of my
will to say I choose and maybe I don’t feel like it maybe I feel defeated maybe
I feel weak but the fact that I choose the minute I make that step yes and I
choose with my will Jesus comes running and he’s there and he takes he takes the
enemy on and so you immediately feel his presence and so um we’re a lot and many times
people will say I can’t you know I can’t it’s too much and I’m not going to make
it you know well it’s funny too because as you’re speaking that all I can do is
rewind in my mind all the times I’ve heard oh it’s a disease it’s not this or
it’s that and I do believe that Satan is brilliant at pulling people out of
themselves and blaming things on the outside instead of allowing people to
realize how powerful that scaffolding is inside them but they just haven’t
practiced it yet and and the more they connect with Christ and the more times they disciple under the word they’re
gonna have that scaffolding and they will be able to make a decision and use free will but as long as they believe
that the power is outside of them then I think that’s uh that’s going to be a
sticking point for sure I can’t wait to see how the story ends yeah
okay so um what do what do we have authority over so this is important that
we understand uh first and foremost I have authority over myself and so this
is where the cup comes in this is where I personally am then able to to stand
against the enemy um you know where I can make that choice and and and Jesus will come and he will
fight for me so that is definitely number one I have authority over myself
so um I’ve just put it into circles so that’s myself and my family my that’s
the Inner Circle and that’s why I have total authority to pray for my family to
pray for my children to pray for my marriage so all of that is the first the
first uh Circle the first uh ranking um of of God’s Army the next is then
when I stopped um praying for people in in a church or
a community set up a home Church um you know Bible study group where I
start to encourage others I start to share the word and then I have an a bigger Circle which
is um once I get identified in my church by my leadership and they can see but
there’s a calling there’s gifting the whatever the prophetic or you know um
whatever God has gifted me with they start identifying the gift because the
Bible says that your gift will make room for you and so you don’t have to kick down a
door to to to be able to minister um you flow in your gift just be who God
made you to be and so you have um the the Church of the community the
leadership there start recognizing but there’s there’s definitely an anointing upon your life and they they then uh you
you as you start to get stronger and um there’s more proof of the of of the
gift upon your life they will then decide when the time is right to call you forward and to actually release you
and you know like Apostolic uh release you into a Ministry and you get
recognized by leadership and that is so important um to be recognized because then you are
a sent one and it’s like there’s imparted delegated authority given to
you to then function and flow in your gift under protection
and under a watchful eye which is so important that’s the discipleship part
that even or you know if you are uh social prophetically you know you are so
sharp in intercession it is still important that you get mentored
um you know if you’re young that you you grow and you mature and and
um you know you get watched there’s someone that watches over you and helps you along the way and then once you are
recognized in your community then you start uh okay we’re going to pray for
the city so we call the churches together so pastors will you send your
intercessors will you send those who are shot prophetically to pray with us over
the city and then you start becoming a city uh prayer Warrior you know and and you
start functioning uh over the city which is not not team now it’s an army and
then when we start praying for the nation then okay the city intercessors
are called to join so that we can start praying for the nation so this is just a
ranking you know shortly uh in a nutshell how it works and how important
it is to stay within the boundaries of wherever it is that you have been
released and where you are functioning and Rec you know recognition from
leaders um and um where you are have been blessed and um you know hands laid on
and imparted to to to function all right so then we see that we have to be
trained it is so important when you go to battle you can’t just run into battle and you
have not had boot camp you’ve had no army training you don’t know who the enemy is you don’t know what weapons we
have you don’t know what weapons the enemy has and so it is so important to
understand the training part and so because I have to grow in Authority it’s
not I don’t have the fullness of all the authority to now go and fight for the country I have to grow in my authority
and in my ranking and I find that this training and preparation is example for
us in the lives of Samson and David I don’t know if you have uh studied their
lives it’s very interesting to see how they were trained uh first of all you
know how they went in and grew in ranking and so David didn’t rush off and
go for Goliath he he first had to be trained and same with Samson he didn’t
just kill all the Philistines from the from the word go it was a long story uh
how his life unfolded and he was taught to fight so Samson first took on the
Young Lion and then he battled 30 men so it was there was step by step God was
training him and watching him did he win the battle he sent this lion across his
path and then he won and then the next there were 30 men and he had to fight
the 30 men and then we see um it was then a thousand men I mean can
you imagine uh with a Jawbone of a donkey how he fought against a thousand
men 30 men already is huge but here he is and and he’s fighting and he wins
again so he’s growing in ranking he’s understanding battle plan strategy he’s
listening to God how do I do it what should I do so God tells him the the
Jawbone of a donkey and only then after all of this that
he’s gone through later on in his life but you know what is so interesting is if you look at the story with Delilah
and how she tried to get the secret of his strength and eventually got it out
of him um when when he he played the game and
he released the secret which he should never have spoken um but she pissed at him so much that he
eventually told her that the secret is in his hair and and because he thought
well I could break the chains anytime I’m strong and he started to rely on his
own strength and his own power and not in The Obedience of of not cutting his
hair and not telling the secret and of course when she when she heard it she
tied him down again with ropes and then cut his hair and then when he tried to
break the ropes he couldn’t and so that’s when he overplayed his hand
um and and Delilah got him and so he was taken into captivity
um and his eyes were pierced out and he just it was a dreadful uh life that he
then LED um and then when it was the end of of
his life which um he he just knew he’s now being taken
into this Banquet Hall where the top Philistines all the Lords and the
princes of the Philistines were together Under One Roof and he said to the little boy who was leading him because he was
blind he said to them uh to him take me to where the pillars are
because if I can put my hands on the pillars now nobody knew what he was going to do and they did not know that
he’d regained his strength and God gave him a final chance to actually have the
victory at the end of his life although it was it was quite a sad story
um you know when you see uh what he went through and so right at the end when he
stood with his hands against the pillars and he pushed that whole roof came down and he he
fought the greatest battle of his life and he he slew most of the
Philistines the the Lords the the top-ranking Philistines and unfortunately he died as well but he won
the battle for the Lord so it does end well and I’d love to speak to him one
day uh when we get to heaven and we are able to meet with everyone so what is
what is amazing is he redeems the land so he was called to redeem the land and
the if you if you look at what he did uh how he goes to the gates of the city he
know he understands the power of gates and what happens at the gates and he he goes to the gates of the city and he
breaks the gates out of their position so he takes the gates of the city
um he possesses those gates for the Lord and um and then and when he’s there with
those pillars those pillars were like the gates I mean they were holding up the roof and it was the the best place
to be and he pushed and that’s when um you know they all came when they all
died in in that whole um final Act of power now if we look at David we follow the
same thing you know you can’t get to the big battle which they end with with Goliath if you don’t go through training
there’s a training and growing in ranking you you fight the battle and
then you once you’ve overcome that battle then there’s another level and then you then there’s more to learn and
and when you fight that and you win then you go move on and so it’s it’s all the
time you are growing in ranking and so David too had to First Take on the bear
and then the lion before he actually fought Goliath
and so um we see that this whole ranking and understanding Warfare
is you know the Old Testament is is where we learn the Practical lessons and
we apply it in the New Testament because now we have the anointing we have the
power and everything that Jesus then conquered for us
and so in one Samuel 17 36 it says that your servant killed both The Lion and
the Bear and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them so
in other words he was sort of resting and drawing his strength from having
overcome the lion and overcoming the bear and now he says I can take the
giant so it’s it’s the process of growing in ranking and not just running
if you haven’t overcome a couple of battles and you’ve got Battle Scars and so the whole thing
about the Battle Scars is so precious because that is what gives you anointing
um are the Battle Scars you know if you look at a lion uh in the natural he uh
Old Lion is scarred and he um he he has fought quite a few battles and so when
they see this old lion and they see the scars they back off because they
immediately have respect this is a general you know on the
battlefield and so um it is what you see in the natural also happens in the
spirit world all right so then um the the word just goes on to say that
this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them like The Lion and the bay for he has defied the armies of the
Living God and that is where Goliath was mocking God and mocking you know Israel
the army of the Lord and um yeah so David said no way I’m not going to allow
this and then when they try to put on uh you know the the battle gear of Saul
um he just couldn’t handle it was too heavy and he said just just give me what I’m used to and um it’s amazing how five
Pebbles right give me five Pebbles is that the senses because I’ve heard
people’s talk about if you see five in the Bible that it has to do with our senses yeah the five senses and also
Grace and then in the occult uh you know if you look at the at the Babylon when
they did the diggings of Babylon and they got to the fifth level of the
ziggurat because it was the Tower of Babel was a ziggurat and at the top was
a psychic Tower which they they tried to contact the Fallen one
if nothing changes does it not at all no
and so um yeah it’s babylon’s coming back okay I mean that’s what we spoke about the last time so
um you know but Babylon will be so that’s what’s going to happen at the end and um yeah so so when when we see
um you know that that that’s what they try to do if you get to the fifth layer it’s Mars it’s the planet Mars and that
was the planet that Hitler focused very much on and so it was his it was his
planet of War and so it’s a um it’s a red color
so it’s just interesting you know to see how they would draw uh even from the
Tower of Babel the different layers and colors okay so um Rules of Engagement delegated
authority and this is where things really get very important um common because
um this is where Paul is teaching us here in 2 Corinthians 10 verse 13 and
he’s telling us that there is um that they asked this ranking and he’s
telling us that there’s delegated spheres of authority where we can
operate in and so he’s speaking from their own experience and he says we on
the other hand will not boast beyond our legitimate Province and proper limit
so he says be careful that you don’t boast and it’s me and we won the battle and we did this and we did that
um but to remember who you are that you could do nothing if God wasn’t with you and it’s his power and it’s his
authority um and and you just happen to be the instrument that he used but it’s it’s
all about him and so um he says we’re not going to move out of our proper
limit but we will keep within the limits of our commission which God has allotted
to us as our measuring line and which reaches and includes even you
so the the Corinthians was within that sphere of authority that God had said
this is what I’m giving you this is where you must fight and this is the area where you battle
don’t go over that don’t go you know into another nation and try and fight there um that’s not your mandate stick
with your mandate and so Paul is telling us that when we go into battle that
there’s a definite battle plan there is a sphere there’s a limit
that God says this is your battle this is where you fight
um and don’t take on something that God has not ordained you to fight and then he goes on in verse 14 for we are not
overstepping the limits of our Province and stretching beyond our ability to
reach so this is so clear I love this word you
know Paul is making it so clear as though we reached not had no legitimate
mission to you because you Corinthians are within that which God has given us
authority over we can minister to you we are not going beyond our ranking
and and we on we we won’t we won’t get into trouble for we were the very first to come even
as far as to you with the good news of Christ and so he’s just explaining that
there are limits there are boundaries when it comes to a battle stay within
that which God has assigned you where you fight where you are positioned and
don’t um think you can you know what is so sad common is that people would
um come into Cape Town you know when when we were there and Cape Town is a is
a gateway City it’s a it’s a very powerful city um and the enemy you know over the
continent of Africa and so you would have people that would just decide uh
they now feel they they need to come and pray but there’s they haven’t been sent
um there’s no mandate there’s there’s no okay who do we when we come into the
city um there is a leadership that God has appointed over the city
and now you just come in and you just do what you want to do um pray anything that you feel to pray
and then you don’t expect to be hit you know because you you are now just
willy-nilly and and and there’s no the Army is very disciplined
and Satan’s Army is exceptionally disciplined we still need to learn you
know we really need to learn um what it takes you know so to be
obedient and to do what God tells us to do and not to do what we feel we want to do and so um it is so dangerous just to
move into any place and go and pray because you feel it’s wonderful to do this
um because that’s really looking for trouble and um and and we have seen we’ve seen
so much damage that has come uh I would love for you to share if if you have
time um I would love for you to share some of the some of the reality of
someone you know maybe or something that happened just so that people can put it in perspective
um because I’m telling you this friend of mine that overreached like she literally was
so sick on the brink of death for a very long time I think it was like eight to 12 weeks and her family was ministering
to her you know health and they no doctor could figure out what was wrong with her literally no doctor
well yeah yeah Coleman we’ve we’ve seen that um we we went into a city
um and so you know you I do teaching and then we there for a week when we do
one-on-one Ministry and um this uh so they they would come
like every every two hours or so you know so you’ve got enough time to work with the person
and um this daughter brought her mother and they were telling me the story that
this mother was one of the most strongest prayer you know persons in the
area and she did amazing work she led many people to the Lord and
um yeah she’s in a wheelchair they the daughter’s pushing her in in a
wheelchair and she is um she can’t swallow if she swallows too
quickly then she starts choking um it’s just she was just so battling
she was like Hey you know her head was hanging like listen and and and her
tongue was protruding and I mean she really looked bad and I thought but what
happened you know and I said please will you pray and I just thought but father what happened here because if she was
such a powerful prayer lady um something seriously went wrong
and I just asked the question I asked the daughter because I looked at the
mother and I didn’t think the mother could talk and you know she was really not not capable at all
um and I said to the daughter did your mother pray something that she shouldn’t have
prayed or attacked you know went into war against something that she shouldn’t
have that was too too much for her that was not delegated to her
and the next minute she she sort of swung her head the mother swung her head
and came up and and said yes and I said to her wow what happened what
did you pray and she said I looked at a daughter for help and she
said the witch doctors oh gosh
as lady alone no Army no no no safety within an army
she alone took on the powers and principalities over the witch doctors of that whole
area of all the Farms because they she was leading so many
people to the Lord and and she became a threat to them and they then started doing rituals against her
and then she decided Well I’m going to take up the challenge if this is what they’re doing you know and she waits for
you know took up the challenge and that’s what happened and then I said okay are you prepared to
repent ask God’s forgiveness and ask him to pull you back under his
cloud of covering and she said yes yes definitely
and so um we had I had asked the people you know just to prepare communion in
case we needed it you know you you just in counseling you’re just ready for anything instead of running around you
know looking for stuff I have anointing oil you know whatever we need and there
was uh the the elements for communion and I mean it’s the blood of Jesus that
is that has the final word and I knew that we were gonna win this battle by
declaring what Jesus has done and so when I led her
in prey it was difficult for her to talk because it was you know her tongue was
was was protruding and it was difficult but she did she spoke it out yeah shows
me chills she repented and then I brought her the cup now what we would
you know we would bless the elements and then we would pass the cup around to to
those that so it was her daughter it was herself it was me and and and the friend that was with me
um and the pastor who who was also there supporting and so she took the cup
and she started to drink this cup and she downed completely
oh my God you couldn’t swallow who couldn’t drink more than two sips
because she would you know choke sure she drank it down
and it was like she knew that the answer was in the blood of Jesus so I know this
is symbolic but she took it really by faith and God lived to do it out of that
wheelchair totally back to her position and I said to her I’m sure you’ve
learned a big lesson now right oh thank God you figured it out that poor woman you know um she would not do
that again another a young man was also lying in bed he’d been um on his back
for a week he couldn’t move he was like paralyzed and they asked please could we
come and pray for him again I said what happened did you take on something that
you shouldn’t have and he said yeah well I took on the strong man over our city uh
you know because we can bind and rebuke and you know we have the authority and we have the power but we don’t apply the
Army rules and so um yeah this is this is so important so
he was like paralyzed and then I led him into renouncing and asking forgiveness
and asking God to pull him back and put his cover over him again it seems like
it’s all rooted in Pride too if you think about it um somebody in their intentions I
believe are actually really good somebody thinking oh well this is the fastest way I I want to protect my
neighborhood or I want to protect you know whatever my something that’s beyond your own territory and and then not
realizing that they’re dealing with huge principalities and agents
um and and God Is So organized I mean Satan is so organized
um because one of the things that I realized when I was any time I’ve been
in a territory I shouldn’t be and I’ll call it away from the cloud covering that you’re talking about that is God
right I think of Exodus like follow the cloud right and um or the fire you know
sit with the cloud yeah but but yeah you to be able to sit with God but it’s wild because I I can rewind to a few times in
my life where even just me sharing with people what my thoughts are would bring
out such vitriol so for example when I originally came out in 2020 kind of
against all the pandemic stuff like I got attacked and then just recently with this sound of Freedom movie all I wrote
was I’m not going to the movie and then all these people started asking me why so I started answering it and I
literally found myself in a nest of what I felt was evil and I I would love to hear what your thoughts are on just
social media team you know nuisance demons is there such a thing as like low-level nuisance demon yeah definitely
definitely because the thing is you are causing a stir and you are influencing
people you know with what you say and they’re not going to leave it there so
um they will then scan you I mean that’s how we we get scanned to see okay did
God give you that that assignment um you know so it’s it’s the whole thing
are you walking in obedience to God or are you just reacting because you know
it’s it’s this reaction um you know and counter-reaction for whatever they were saying and now you’re
trying to also tell them listen you know I’ve got a check or whatever
but it’s it is that you are stepping out and then you have you know all these
demons crashing in on you the thing is they’ve got your number and they’ve got your name and then they go into rituals
you know against you right and so um if you do do something then you need to
have an army you need to have backup you you can’t do this on your own and so God
doesn’t have Lone Ranger uh armies uh you know he he doesn’t have just one
person that takes on you know the the world um there’s always backup and so um if
you’ve been given the Mandate sure you know then he’s going to protect you you will be under his Cloud even if you walk
out there and you you do speak what he’s told you you know to to take on
um but it’s just if we do it in our in our own and the thing is what the enemy wants to get us to trip up is through
Pride uh he wants to uh get us to and anger you know stir you up to get you
all worked up and and you know how can they stink us or how can they say this and I can’t keep quiet and you know so
it’s uh just to know you know that scripture that says be still and know
that I’m God and so many times when when I had been
um you know falsely accused and and I’d heard all this nonsense that they that
they’re saying you know when when as I was growing in the minister history and walking in this field and and all the
attacks are against bloodline cruises and it’s not real and and got you know
Jesus done it all and we don’t need to do the bloodline cruises and things and I knew that that it was truth I had the
truth um but but I had to be get stronger I had to build up tenacity I had to build
up capacity and to stand to stand in the day of battle and not back off right um
and so when the attacks came um it was the most difficult was to keep
quiet because I want to get on the phone and you know let them know
and they just to be still be still and know that I am God and that was the
biggest battle for me and the Victory to be still and know that God’s got my back
so he will fight for me and he will vindicate me and so the enemy tries to
stir us up you know he tries so hard God to get us to act in the flesh and the
minute we start acting in the flesh he’s got us and what’s Wild is in in neither
one of those cases did I think it was anything spiritual right both of them I
just thought I was sharing good information hey you might want to know this or you know whatever yeah and
apparently I crossed a a principality without being aware of it is that what
you’re saying yeah that that definitely that would have stood the prince of the
power of the a it’s the a waves right and so because you were you know you were on social
media and that then people read and they and they get they definitely do think
um you know they are those that you do reach right and um they try and shut you up as quick as possible
it’s wild to me because I I wouldn’t have guessed me just saying I wasn’t going to a movie would would cause all
that it did but rewinding um in light of what you said I
definitely wanted to Stand My Ground and explain myself and maybe I would have been better off just leaving it alone
and then waiting for God to say okay now do this you know and it’s just a simple check-in but it’s really easy to forget
um but I definitely blocked a lot of people and I mean even today this woman came on here and she’s like oh this
woman is does not have a real heart she’s just doing this for money and I’m like I’ve never taken a penny
from these people what are they talking about so anyway um I I feel like that’s probably
something that’s very applicable to all of us absolutely yeah so you know if also to
to not rush into something like for example when there was the reaction to
wait and say okay father watch what do you say I should say you know how give me
your wisdom give me your Insight right you know but but our first reaction is
well I’m just gonna explain you know and just tell them yes yeah no you’re so
right and it’s interesting because um that was my first reaction and it seems so logical to me I’m like you know
this is my own opinion I get to have this right and so I think sometimes the
enemy knows the exact hook to keep you going
um and really when it should have been down to you know well for me it’s just
God has you know told me to sit but there’s lots of times God tells one
person to sit in another person to go yeah yeah yeah and it’s to listen what
you must do yeah so interesting we all learn common we all
learned but as a stepping stone yes all right so we must operate in our
delegated authority and I think Paul has explained it pretty well then in Corinthians and not overstep our sphere
of whatever God has assigned you to do um also you know
um if you’re a counselor trained in counseling and and and a person comes to you and suddenly
you discover but there’s SRA and you’ve never been trained in SRA don’t take
that on until you’ve been trained um and then you you will be much more
effective and you’ll be safe and so many times people just Rush In And ah but
I’ve got a power and I’ve got Authority and I can do it um instead of looking at the training
that David and Samson you know if that if God had to train them then surely we also need to be trained
so um yeah it’s just to you know in so many ways uh just listen listen to what
God says so to do so is to operate in if I overstep my sphere in other words I’m
moving to something that I’m not trained for I have not I I don’t really know what I’m doing
um and so is to operate in rebellion and outside of God’s Authority and that is
uh so dangerous you know because Satan tries to lure us into Rebellion we don’t
realize it’s Rebellion we think well you know I’m just going to tell them I’m gonna
so it seems so innocent because I know everything yeah yeah
so um the the hook um is to you know just with words and to
lure you into an argument um by yourself you know to State your
case and and really many times you are absolutely pure and hot right you know
and it’s not that you are intending to now go against God in any way but it’s just
how do things work in the spirit you know and especially with social media
okay so we see um it’s all it’s dangerous you know if I do move out of my sphere
um and I take on something or I I counsel somebody that I I don’t know what I’m doing I can really cause damage
and I can be addressing uh parts of of the person’s Humanity
as though I am addressing a demon and that is very very hurtful that um then
I’m really in trouble if I don’t if I don’t know um you know what I’m doing and I’m just
rushing in um I can really cause damage and I will be accountable before God
um another thing that is pretty important is to not um you know if a
woman is pregnant um to not push her into war because of a
baby so you don’t take a baby to war and um but if you say oh wow we’ll be fine
you know but if something does happen to that baby then then we stand responsible
before God so it’s things like that how the enemy gets tries to get an open door he tries to get us to slip up you know
to make a mistake all right so examples of authority
husbands in relation to their wives and children and of course um this is so important we are not
um we are not doormats um you know Jesus did so much trouble in
showing that that the women and men are are we are equal before God and there’s
not one better than another one at all and so uh where the woman was always
degraded and You Know spoken down to and uh she had she she just wasn’t given a
voice or respected in any way um in so many in so many families this
still happens so um it’s just you know that the the protection of the husband
um and the honoring and the respect that we should have and and the the picture the children see and then parents in
relation to their children and Elders in relation to the local assembly and so um
yeah these are just you know a couple of points for us to think about how does
um Authority then work so requirements for delegated authority number one a person must know that all
authority comes from God it’s not mine and the minute I start thinking that or
speaking that then I open a door a person must deny himself
and be totally submitted to what God’s Will and plan is and so
um it’s it’s not about me Father what is your will what do you want me to do
and God calls us to represent his authority not substitute his authority
and that’s so important because what has happened is that for example the Pope
has become a substitute he has become God on Earth
um and that’s not how God wants us to to to think
um that he has been given so much power and authority um as a man as a human man on Earth
um is is not God’s will all authority comes I agree I agree
yeah so we can’t substitute be a substitute for his authority and then also pastors you know leaders
at churches that sort of Force the The Authority uh down on on
people and when people are broken and come from
um traumatic homes or or situations then they Buckle under they Buckle under and
they submit and they they do things that really uh God is Not expected uh that a
man should have that kind of authority I know that there’s certain churches where
the people have to get a letter from their pastor before they go on
holiday they they if they they cannot buy a house
if the pastor doesn’t give his permission um I mean it’s crazy you know you know
that is crazy I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Plymouth Brethren um Church
yes I have okay so their their whole their whole setup is like that from what
I understand down to they’re not allowed to even have a computer that isn’t issued by them or a phone that is not
issued by them oh wow no that that is that’s not normal
control [Laughter] that’s that’s abusive control yeah
absolutely so um yeah when when I assume a role you know that that is not from
God it’s it’s really it can damage people and so a person must be walking in a lifestyle of Holiness and loving
obedience and then a person must constantly be grounded in the word and in fellowship with the Lord so that you
are able to discern so if somebody comes with a teaching you are able to discern you know is this absolutely in line with
the word um do I submit to what this teaching is what this person is saying
um so that I will not be deceived um you know LED down somebody trail and
I just believe a whole lot of nonsense that’s not in the word okay so um we are the body of Christ we
are called to operate within the unity and the body of Christ everyone has
their part or role to play so it’s just to respect each other to acknowledge
each other’s positions uh to acknowledge that God does um use people around me for my safety
um and that’s not abusive you know the abuse of stuff that we’ve just spoken about it’s somebody that really loves
God and wants to serve he’s a servant leader and
um he understands his position as a leader not to abuse people but to bring
them together as a family that we are family and not controlled which is then demonic
okay and so um Satan knows who has the revelation of authority which we have
been given and so he knows if you are doubting he knows if you have faith and so this
is so important that you must build your faith that’s why what you said in the
beginning common was um you know what do I say about spiritual warfare and discipleship I
would say discipleship is number one you know that is really so important because you cannot be part of the army if you
have not been discipled because you know in the word disciple is disciplined so and it’s it’s not a negative
discipline it’s a Godly discipline it’s order because God is a god of order
and Satan is is one of chaos and so if there’s no order then there’s we know
Satan takes over so um he knows who’s doubting
um who’s adopting Thomas and he will go for you so we need to to know who we are
in the Lord and that is part of the discipling um that I get trained in the word
and then do not doubt that you have authority over the enemy and if there is
still fear and I mean I started off in fear Mark you know when God called me into this
ministry the big the big thing for me to overcome Was Fear um because of the of the unknown and and
the spiritual stuff and I really had a huge fear you know for the enemy
um until I discovered who God was as my father and what he says in his word and
that he’s not a man that he should lie um where my dad with his drinking as a
physical dad I I always doubt I always doubted him I could never believe him I
could never trust his word um and that brought a big hurdle for me
to then jump over to get to my heavenly father and to know that when he says
something I can believe it he he is true to his word
um that was huge and so a lot of us you know we we all come with different stories and and different backgrounds so
um you know work with whatever it is wherever there is doubt wherever there is insecurity or fears or broken
relationships um that’s not restored what what is so important as well
um you know we we’ve ministered in in churches where the pastor had such
broken relationships with his own children and we begged we would beg him to please
restore relationship with his children because we would cancel the children and they are shredded they are broken they
are bleeding they are struggling with God because of that you know
um Dad is now this pastor and this is what’s what he can’t even hug them he
you know there’s just no relationship and and so the healing still there was
still so much work to be done and it’s so important you know that that we go
back on our tracks and work with the issues that we have that we can bring to
the table and and ask God to heal us and to touch us because those are the things we the minute we step out in Warfare
common Satan comes and he scans us and there’s a scripture
um we’re we’re in John where just before Jesus went to the cross
Satan came and Jesus said that I can’t speak with you anymore he was talking to
the disciples he said I can’t speak with you any longer because the one my
adversary is coming and he’s coming to see if there’s anything in me that belongs to him wow
and it’s like Jesus would open up his coat and say okay come have a look
and see if you can find anything in me that belongs to you right then he goes
on and he says and he could find no such thing
so that is the place of Victory when you get tested because the minute
you step out in war the minute you take on a battle you are gonna be checked you will
there’s an inspection there is an inspection that Satan does on you
and he pulls up anything that he has legal right on to stop you in your
tracks and that you will not win the battle and then you can’t understand all
hell breaks loose and you can’t why you know it’s just because these doors are
open in your life right and so it’s so important to ask God to take you on a
journey and it’s clean up and close the doors and you know work on those issues so that the enemy when he comes he will
find no such thing in you that belongs to him all right so then we see that we do have
authority yes God has given it to us we’re not trying to match Satan’s power
therefore it’s wrong to say I have power over you in the name of Jesus you have
to come out I don’t have the power Jesus has the power
so I have authority delegated authority that he’s given me but I don’t have the
power and so um I can’t say that sentence and I’m not trying to match his power power
either so when he challenges me I back off and I say I’m I’m not into challenges
because this in witchcraft that’s what they do they’re forever challenging each other you know who’s the strongest power
yeah oh my gosh yes we don’t take we don’t
take on any of those challenges and so we see that we must understand the
difference between Authority and power and so Authority is not automatic but it
must be taken by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit
and so I need to believe the word I need to get strong in the word I need to know
what the word says what does God give me and so that I can stand when I get
challenged and so if we think of a traffic cop we um see that he has a badge and that
badge is his authority so he he’s standing um with authority behind him he’s got
the Prime Minister he’s got the whole Force standing with him he’s got every
airplane every submarine everything that is standing for Authority
um in the country is standing behind the badge so his badge is the authority his weapon
is the power so he’s got a gun and he’s got a one of those sticks those batons
that he that he can give some heavy blows with and so what happens is a huge truck is
speeding towards him he can pull the gun
and try with his weapon with his power he can try and push
but he’s not going to get far he’s going to be flattened and so when he steps out I mean it takes
Faith to step in front of a truck or a bus or something big and hold up your
hand and all you have is the badge and you’ve got to trust that that truck
driver is going to have respect for that badge and stop because if he flattens you then the Army
and everybody else is going to come for you and so we see that
um we have the name of Jesus as our Authority we have the power of the Holy Spirit
we must have knowledge and discernment of the will of God in every situation
so common I was in Germany and um we were we were praying for people
and what happened was this guy came it was late at night you know we people had
lined up we were tired and this guy came up quite a shortish
guy but muscle I mean really you can see he’s like a dancer
and he he came with a story about um he wants help he wants prayer he’s a
pimp and will we pray with him and so
um we asked him what is his his name and he said his name he said what does it mean because he comes from from from
another country and we just wanted to know if we’re interested what does his name mean and he said it means war
so he was named after one of the Gods of War and then we realized but this is trouble
you know this is really going to be serious so what happened was that when
we started to pray for him it was absolutely fascinating but it was
like he flew in the air and he landed on his back and without thinking without you know
your mind you just lack in automatic with with the Holy Spirit and under the anointing
I went forward and I would put my hand on his chest and I you know afterwards thinking if
this God got up and hit me I mean I would have picked Lots out I would have right physical power definitely did not work
you know right it was the power of the holy spirit that pinned him down it was
definitely not me or my muscles and I then continue to minister and to
address the spirits so it’s it’s just how
you know that you need to understand we have the name of Jesus and I have seen
that when you use the name of Jesus how powerful that name is
and the effect in the spirit and that you know the attack how their hands drop
and they can’t do anything but the power of the holy spirit is is so important to
have as well and so um we see that Ephesians 1 verse 19 and
so that you can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and
surpassing greatness of his power in and for us who believe
it says it so beautifully that it’s nothing to do with me God can can turn
that you know it’s his power he can turn it off and then we’re really in trouble you know we need God he we need him with
everything in us when we’re in battle and so it’s we we must know and
understand the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of
his power in and for us who believe as demonstrated in the working of his
mighty strength and so that’s so clear the power of the
Holy Spirit enables us to move in his power and his strength
and without the Holy Spirit we nothing we you know I Praise Jesus that he gave
us that promise that he will send us the Holy Spirit who
will never ever leave us so that that is so special now our level
of Spiritual Authority in our family and those who are directly
related to us like our children our grandchildren grandparents parents-in-law
um those directly related to us that’s our most Inner Circle
and that I have a hundred percent Authority because that’s what God gives
me as an individual I can pray for my children I can pray for my marriage I
can pray for my home and my safety I can pray for my grandparents or my parents
um it’s it is my right I am allowed to do that the next step of my authority is then my
look the local body or the community of Believers that Fellowship in a specific
area when I start joining into a group now my my sphere becomes a little bigger
and I get delegated authority here so I’m moving away from the center which is
myself and my inner family my loved ones not to a broader family now it’s
becoming bigger in this group so when I pray I’m not just alone I have backup I
have people around me to pray the third layer around is my
city now become a city intercessor so I’m just doing a summary of what we did in the beginning and the greater
metropolitan area where I then um well what what I need to realize is that
my personal Authority is getting less and less the bigger the circle is
growing because it’s now delegated authority
because I’m now part of a team it’s not me me me
because if that’s where the danger lies if I take on the battles on my own and
the strong man over a city that’s when I’m I’m going to get into trouble and I
must realize that my dear it’s delegated authority but I need the Army I need the
rest of the people that God has positioned around me to if we get called up to fight a
certain battle in our city you know when we had the World Cup soccer here in South Africa in 2010
um we got a word that they were planning a bloodbath and they were going to bring
in the army forces from Zimbabwe which is the country next to us
um and we then mustered an army of of all people groups representing South
Africans and we travel to Zimbabwe we met the intercessors in Zimbabwe where we
repented as South Africans for our part of this whole agreement
to bring a bloodbath and they repented from their side for what their leaders
had done and uh we then you know did prophetic acts and we it was powerful it
was so special and then um we found out that on the way home after
we’d done all of that work that they actually discovered arms and ammunition
and explosives in the stadiums but the police had discovered it
and had had confiscated it so you know you you don’t realize what the effect is
when you pray you you go because your obedient God says you’ve got to do
something you can’t sit and do nothing but we made sure that we stayed within
the mandate and we pulled in the Army from the other
country that was you know implicated and where the leaders had made covenants and we
together as an army prayed and so that is so important to to to do
that and so this is then on on a country level um you know so the the bigger the circle
the more careful you’ve got to be because it’s all delegated authority
and so the country where you were born um you have you have authority because you you and the place where you living
you have authority so that but you not alone you part of an army and so and
then of course the last one is the world when um you know you we battling
something like the um oh there is such a good book Common um there’s a guy called Johannes fasius
um he was with Derek Prince part of Derek Prince’s Army and they would
before they do any world global um you know attacks things that that God
would show them that they need to pray over they would go to Israel and they would fast and pray and wait upon the
Lord for the battle plan and um so Johannes farsias
um went to battle and um he then they they were in Russia
and it in in Germany um you know the whole communism thing
um it was with that wall you know remember the the wall that that was there so you had you had the Russians
that were backing up the east of Germany and um so they were told to just go and
pray as tourists but now they they make us other tourists so they’ve got maps
and they’re looking at the maps meantime they’re praying you know over the maps
and then God said just go and put your hands on the wall
um you know the gods are there the dogs are there and just put your hand and just rub a you know just just gently on
the wall um and and don’t cause anything just quietly just
to clear this wall will come down which they did this was in 1989. yeah so
they just as tourists you know looking at the wall and watching everything going on but they just visiting this
this country and so they do that and they in the spirit
commanding the wall to come down what happened was that wall came down
and um it was absolutely wonderful that’s
what caused this wall to collapse was this battle that they were in and then Johannes fasias went into a
tremendous depression that he didn’t want to come out of his house
and he struggled with this depression and he wrote a book after he got through and he got the lesson from God
when God spoke to him and the book is called God can do it
without me amen what a wake up what a wake up so he
said that he he realized that he’d opened up for pride and he had done things
that he thought was right and good and prophetic yeah and then got into trouble
and then went into this I mean he’s one of was one of the top armies of the
world and um got into trouble and then this depression that hit him so if if you can
still get hold of that book please do it is amazing it is really a powerful book
to learn the lesson of what it is to do spiritual warfare so I said at the feet
of Derek Prince for years and I learned so much from this General so so much wisdom
and um yeah he he really emphasized this whole thing about Authority and ranking
and that we need to be so careful um you know not to try and do things on
our own so those are the global intercessors that can also get into trouble if you then read Johannes fasius
um you know his his whole story and so stay where God has sent you the
further you move from the center of the circle remember that inner circle where the family is where you have
full Authority that God gives you to pray the further you move away from that
Center the less personal Authority you have and that’s where you have to be careful
because now you’re part of a team and so it changes to corporate Authority where
they are teams or an army that goes together and they are leaders of the
army and if they say to you don’t take these entities on your own please don’t
leave the group and go and fight against these entities now there was a group
that went to Ephesus in Greece and went to fight against the
goddess Artemis Diana that is spoken about in in the book of
of Ephesians where they cry they cried for two hours calling her name calling
her name Goddess Diana and then um these people went Peter Wagner and
there was a whole group that went to pray and there were some people that were that that came from from I mean people
came from all over the world to be part of this it was super exciting and there was a certain group they were
told don’t move out of the group please listen to what we say don’t tackle anything on your own
and they spelled out the Rules of Engagement where this guy thought well
he’s going to do it on his own he took his little group and off they go and they went and they
did their own thing on a mountain or whatever and got very badly hit very badly hit
one of the guys I know he actually died wow he actually died because he took on
stuff that he should not have taken on and the next thing we heard
um that he was taken out and and he had died so it’s serious you know it’s really really serious that we need to
know the rules of engagement and so um if we think about the Israelites when
they went to possess the promised land Canaan all tribes had to be represented all 12
tribes even manessa and Ephraim that were outside they were they were still
on the other side of the of the of the river they had to send Representatives because all 12 tribes had to be
represented when they went into to Canaan and so it’s a Biblical principle
that we need to be an army we need to be a army of unity praying together flowing
together um appreciating respecting each other respecting the leaders that God has
appointed so that we don’t get into trouble so it moves then from that inner
circle which is my personal Authority and power that God gives me to weigh out
when I go to battle it’s now a a corporate corporate Authority
and now I cannot do this on my own because I will get hit and I think I
think that would help to give people a picture to understand um not to move out of your area that God
has given you to battle and so in the center of the Family Circle
you have absolute authority over the ability to pray for your family the
destiny of your family members I’m repeating this comment for a reason because whenever I’ve taught it then
they say can I still pray for my children can I still pray for my husband yes sir I’m repeating it again yeah no I
think it’s smart I call it pile driving and I think it is um I think it’s necessary for the human brain and I
don’t know why yeah no I I do I agree and it’s good to use pictures and you
know all your five senses if you can absolutely drill it in you know so the ability to pray for your family you’ve
been given that’s within your circle that’s your that’s the close Circle um the destiny of your family members
the ability to make righteous decrees over your life the ability to lay hold of the promises of God for the blessings
the provisions that are our inheritance in Jesus all of these things you can
pray for because that is within your circle that’s your sphere
um and you have authority to pray and so God is ordained that we have a free will and freedom of choice the moment you are
born again you are entitled to rights Privileges and delegated authority not
all authority has been given to me I can do what I want no I and I must
understand how God’s Army works and so an entitlement that nobody can ever take
away from you God gives that to you within your family group and as you
operate in a larger circle of impact your Authority will be limited to your
experience and your anointing and then um remember the principle
your individual Authority diminishes the further you go out into the bigger
Circles of life and that is team that’s teams that’s the Army and uh
I I now realize that I can’t go and take strong men over cities and areas on my
own I need to be part of an army and so let’s walk in the authority that we have
in and through Jesus and so that’s the delegated authority
um that God gives us so it’s it’s so important to understand the Rules of Engagement
so common that’s it amen yay you are
ready to ask your questions okay so um I think coming back to what my
initial thing was um we really when you thought when you talk about being delegated
that is delegated through these levels right so I’ve been able to successfully
pray over my family and I’ve been able to work with God and you know my
anointment there and then and I’m I’m like now going to a church or or you know a Ministry or a city and and so
when somebody just goes hey I’m gonna go pray over this territory or that territory that
would be somebody more like Dr Laura Sanger who she’s done the map she’s got people she’s you know she’s really done
the work in order to be there is that correct that’s right okay okay so it
takes time you know it’s that training the training that David and and Samson show us it takes time to train and and
you need to win some battles you need to because the if if you lose the battle
you’re going to go around the mountain again [Laughter]
that makes complete sense you move to the next level yeah yeah and so so when
when somebody has their child who’s friends with somebody who they’re pretty
sure that that friend of theirs is into witchcraft or or just doing things that
you know I don’t know Moon science is or something that people
think is really innocent um what advice would you have for a mother that’s in that situation
I think it’s important that she gets knowledge that she equips herself you
know because it’s it’s when I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t understand what is going on that uh that I feel
helpless and and um I will then react in a wrong way and I’m gonna lose my
child um it is so important that I realize
that it’s all about relationship and it’s it’s about keeping the heart and winning back the heart of my child if my
child is into funny stuff into the occult um I need to find out why did she go
there what was the open door what is the legal right that took her there is it
bloodline is it stuff on my bloodline that has opened the door now my child’s been sucked into this
um and and so I equip myself and I start doing Warfare as a mother I stand in the
gap and I repent and I ask forgiveness job every day he would repent for the
sins of his children and he would bring it before God and so
it is so interesting you know if you if you look at his life and how he fought for his children for his family
and so um yeah as a mother I would definitely and and it’s important to
pull that in as well if if there is a dad you know that’s still alive and that is willing uh you know maybe they’re
separated or whatever but if Dad’s still around to pull dad on board as well and
but the whole thing is common when you have problems with your children
to keep their heart to fight for their heart not to
fight them because of what they’re doing because of the occult you’re going to lose your child
but to to keep their heart to fight the spirit behind who’s causing this
to learn to battle to learn or how do I fight this thing I’m helpless I need to be trained help
me I need to save my child I’ve got to get my child out of the clutches of the evil one and then stand in the gap for
the bloodline and get those doors shut you know so so you’re just going into a
very well thought out battle plan and strategy to fight for you for your
children okay that’s so good um and then the other question I was
um going to ask you is it something that somebody asked uh here and they said
Carmen question for Amanda are survivors permitted to still pray for their family husbands children or other family
members who are also actively you know SRA yeah definitely because
um they have a part that’s born again that belongs to the Lord and and that is the part that is the anchor that is
where you you you are uh washed in the blood of the lamb and yes
um you know how you are the one that really knows how to battle so yeah don’t
hold back don’t hold back okay and then
um uh where was it oh I know have you ever been in a situation where you are
um you know there to minister there to do stuff and you came across something
and you were like God just said no no no no don’t go there with a particular
person yeah okay definitely yeah that’s got to
be such a helpless feeling but I get it I get it it’s it’s it’s his power not
your power and you don’t get to decide yeah and it’s hard for me because I have such a heart of mercy and I want to help
everybody yeah and it’s it’s uh you know I can’t stand to see somebody suffering
um but I really have to listen you know if what God is saying and also
um you know if you yeah it sometimes you get into trouble because because of your
gift and your heart of mercy and you and that overrules are you listening to God
so that is number one is your relationship with God that you listen
and do what he tells you because then you’ll be safe okay I also had somebody
asking in here about what your opinions are on meds and if they block our
connection to God yeah they would be mates that do
yes because if um if you if if your brain is all messed
up and I mean you know whenever we work with someone and they need to go on to
meds then we’re very careful to find a Christian psychiatrist that will give
something that’s safe and that would be able to get them off again because it’s
so quick that you become addictive and then also get support in the natural
way you know to get eat healthy because if you’ve come out of serious trauma
um your body’s messed up your your gut is messed up and yeah you you eat junk
food and and so you you’ve just exposed yourself to well it’s happened to you
you know in your life and you need help to build your strengths
um but in in the beginning we don’t see anything wrong with meds right um but of
course controlled and under the covering of the Holy Spirit sure sure and I think
this woman was talking about pain medication in particular but um I just I
I go back to the pharmacia the word and you know what its roots are and
um what suggestions would you be would you have for somebody that feels like they’re stuck and they can’t
um they can’t beat this medicine and that they feel that they might have to go to a hospital or something if they
were to to stop taking them um is there any advice that you have in
the spiritual for them well I I think it’s very important that they
get a lot of support common because it is hard it is pretty hard and we can’t
judge you know we are The Lost Ones to throw stones and and and judge and so um
if they can just get the right support um also prayer wise
um you know so that they are that that God’s power is there um but I mean it’s a physical thing
addiction is is you know with with the pain and with the meds that they feel
that it they they they are so I mean that’s what that’s what the drug is is
you get so dependent on it that you feel you’re gonna die if you don’t use it and
it’s also it’s be in your Lifeline it’s been your anchor it’s been that which
you’ve held on to um and sure we we know we’ve got to hold
on to God but but this has been real life and it’s been hard and so um my
heart just goes so out um to these people it is very very
difficult and they they fall back into their old ways very quickly
um but if if they can just have support and if they do need to get some sort of
a you know some person living with them that can just push them through that very serious time right because lonely
War common it’s so lonely you know this this world of pain and meds and and you
get locked in you get locked into this world um of you rather Escape because it’s
it’s in that world where you don’t feel sure you don’t face you know so you’re
really gonna need support yeah so that’s a great answer lots of prey yeah that’s a great answer and it
is one of those things I I believe there’s three there’s three main places where people struggle uh relationships
finances and health and I do believe that health is the most difficult
um just me personally you know I’ve experienced problems and all all three of them but
um you know my heart same goes out to people in that situation and and then
two they get tired of relying on other people too which also makes it really difficult um yeah but I do believe that’s what
we’re here for and if if people are to listen closely to what God’s saying I
think that they’ll find that they’re supposed to help more and keep their mouth shut more often and I need to
learn that first you know my little social media my little social
media mouth um can we close in prayer yes yes sure
okay thank you okay father we just want to say thank you
for your word your word is so precious and so clear
and father that we could glean we could draw from from the depth and the beauty
of your word tonight we just thank you um in the session
for for that which you’ve revealed that which you’ve brought forward that where
you’ve shown your light and shown us and discipled us when it
comes to Warfare father so many have been wounded we they have not been taught or trained
and I just pray for those that that are still trying to recover those
that have shied away from spiritual warfare because of what happened of what
they were subjected to um where they were misunderstood where they were shunned where they were pushed
out father those that were seriously wounded on the
battlefield um realizing now that they did take on
things that they shouldn’t have father I want to pray for every person
who has stepped out of ranking we all do that’s how we learn we make mistakes but
we thank you that it’s never too late with you and that you are standing on
standby you are ready to help us the minute we repent the minute we say we
are sorry God we’d never knew we didn’t understand how it works and that’s what we want to say to you
now father every time that we stepped out of line every time that we tackled
something that we shouldn’t have that you did not assign for us to to address
um where we moved out from under your cloud of covering we want to ask your forgiveness we
repent in the name of Jesus and father we we just ask you to to
please come and restore us please put us back in our position on the battlefield
and and father bring us back under your covering now that we understand that
that’s what happened that we moved out of line we moved out of ranking and we got wounded we got
attacked and so now that we understand it better we just thank you for your mercy and
your grace extended towards us now and so as we ask your forgiveness we
thank you for the blood of Jesus your word says that when we repent the blood of Jesus comes to cleanse us
to set us free to deliver us from the chains and the bondage that
we’ve been tied into a prison of some sort where Satan has been
punishing us we didn’t even know we didn’t understand how it works
how how could it happen and we felt maybe we even judged you
Lord maybe we we were angry with you because we were
saying where were you why didn’t you protect us why did you allow this to happen to us
but now we understand and we thank you for that because knowledge knowledge of you and the
knowledge of your word is so powerful and we just repent and we we thank you
that we can ask your forgiveness be cleansed by the blood of the Lamb We
Stand upon your word and upon the blood of the lamb now and we thank you that you will deal with
the Enemy and you will restore us back to where we should be with you
in our position on the battlefield father we the Army your army has been so
wounded has been so deceived and we’ve been taken out
by the by the enemy and we ask that you will restore us
and father that we will take back our positions but this time equipped
and trained and knowing and understanding how things work in the
spirit and so father we thank you that you heal you restore
and you pull us back under your covering and father as as you do that you deal
with the Enemy and you break his chains over our lives
over our loved ones over our relationships
father everything that we are and how you’ve created us to be
is about relationships it’s about loving each other walking together as your family
covering each other’s backs being there for one another we just thank you that we all can
experience a big hug from our daddy God we thank you Lord that you don’t hold
things against us you are so quick to forgive and to lift off from us
any judgments or punishments or whatever the enemy has tried to place upon us
and father we also choose now to forgive ourselves for where we’ve gone wrong and stepped
out of line we thank you for your forgiveness and Restoration in
our lives in the name of Jesus Amen amen thank you so much I appreciate you
coming and if you could just tell everybody the where they can find you that’d be awesome
okay Canaan Ministries dot org and
and also Kanan at iafrica.com is the email and so you are welcome to go onto our
website um and download there’s so much materially so when when we talk about

always and they also I just want to remind people that you know we can disciple under Christ
eternally he’s always available and we have the word and if we sit in it
and I mean really sit with it he he will minister to you in the way
that you request but I think too few people actually they think it’s too hard
of work but actually it’s really fun once you get started it’s kind of like something we procrastinate from I don’t
know why but then when we finally do it it’s so much fun and you can just get lost in it and and you just get more and
more hungry for for time alone with him and so I really encourage people to remember that Christ is eternally with
them I hope everybody has a great weekend and thank you again Amanda we

0:01

0:25
everyone else so go ahead and take a moment and indulge and and the ask so to
0:31
speak whoa um sure I I I don’t know what to say Carmen
0:38
uh my heart is full you know I I really I’m so blessed with
0:45
um you know everybody’s just reaction and um feedback and and so yeah it’s it’s
0:52
that’s it’s a blessing you know it’s something that you you live the whole
0:57
life I mean it’s been many years and to to
1:02
see this and you know just to be part of this entire message is such a blessing
1:09
so yeah I
1:14
you’re so speechless all right well then I will do it for you um this beautiful woman and her Ministry
1:21
have helped so many people and I personally have been touched and I know that a lot of like where I can reach
1:29
people have been touched and so I I’m just gonna I’m just gonna put it out there if you feel led by God a hundred
1:36
percent to donate any amount of money to this beautiful uh Ministry please do so
1:41
and so now we get to work because she is a teacher and she is a brilliant teacher
1:47
at that and um I will be interrupting because I watch her all the time and she
1:54
just rolls and so they’re J like literally she just rolls and so I have to interject to be able to ask questions
2:00
and the reason I do that is because I feel like if it’s a question on my heart or if I see someone in the chat then I
2:07
want to be able to bring that out so I will be interrupting Amanda
2:12
no problem all right I will make sure you can share the screen I’m assuming you have the
2:19
usual good stuff um hold on that’s the wrong button
2:25
why is it doing that oh I know because I was doing it wrong all right now we’re good you should be able to share yes got
2:33
it okay so that’s
2:39
that’s good is that fun absolutely I can see you okay
2:44
all right so um what we’re going to talk about is the uh on spiritual warfare and it’s
2:52
about the Rules of Engagement and so um I just found that this is such
2:58
an important topic um common because so many people get into
3:03
trouble when they go into spiritual warfare and I think you know that I can just bind
3:10
anything and I can rebuke anything and I can do anything and not realizing that
3:15
There Are Rules of Engagement and there’s ranking in God’s Army and yeah
3:22
so I’ve just put together a very simple easy to understand presentation uh just
3:29
for our protection and um you know we’ve we’ve ministered to so
3:36
many young people that have gone on mission trips and have not been warned about
3:42
um you know the the danger of moving out of your ranking and just taking things
3:48
because we have authority and we we can bind and rebuke and we can do all these
3:53
things but not understanding how it really works and so yeah go ahead
4:00
um we’ve just had young people come back from the mission Fields uh absolutely like mincemeat you know just just Child
4:07
by the enemy and and and damaged and they don’t want to do anything you know
4:13
have anything to do with spiritual warfare which is sad because it’s part of our calling
4:18
um you know when when you get born again you automatically signed up you you part
4:23
of God’s Army and and training needs to start boot camp needs to start and you
4:28
need to know um you know what can I do what can I do what weapons do I have you know those
4:34
kind of things um and and the really important thing is
4:40
um you know how do I grow in in God’s Army and where do I find things in the
4:46
word that I can learn from so that’s no I think this is so necessary and
4:53
um you can either answer this now or at the end because I do think um for me I’ve had a shift in my own
4:59
mind I’ll be curious where you are because one of the things I would love to say is like I am nowhere near where
5:05
Amanda is and so please stop expecting me to be you are so um gracious so beautiful so
5:14
um you know you’re just so tempered you have like unbelievable people skills and
5:20
one of the things that I think happens when people get very excited about being a Christian sharing it and and taking
5:28
over um you know Dominion of their own Temple so to speak is I think that people
5:34
sometimes leave the concept of discipleship and they go into fighting
5:39
powers and principalities and I personally find that that is where
5:45
people go wrong but I’ll be curious to see what your thoughts are yeah I
5:51
totally agree oh you do okay I do I do I do because you know it’s so important
5:57
that we understand um you know discipleship and and to be
6:03
trained um and and to be minted uh that is so important and instead of you know
6:10
running after all the big stuff and the important stuff um you know I can go to war I can go to
6:18
war and I can go and fight and I can do my thing but do I have a safe place to
6:24
come back to because that is so important that I have
6:30
relationships yeah and and if I have broken relationships and I don’t have a
6:35
safe place to come back to that’s when I’m vulnerable when I come off the battlefield I’m extremely vulnerable and
6:43
I need uh the safety of loved ones that are around me where I can debrief and
6:51
we’re you know so so I have to put that into place before I go out to to walk
6:57
and so you know many times we have people going out to war doing all these
7:02
great stuff but but then when they come back their own lives are are then
7:09
um destroyed because the enemy gets hold of them so um I totally agree that discipleship
7:15
and mentoring and relationships are key
7:20
good to know good to know um I just realized I put the wrong um I’ll need to change it I put Canaan
7:27
ministries.com and it’s dot org huh yes okay all right I’m gonna I’m gonna put
7:33
it in the chat as well so people have full access to it anyone that wants to donate money to your lovely Ministry
7:40
okay so so thank you for that and um and I’ll be looking forward to seeing how
7:45
this plays out and then I might have a follow-up question on that question because I think it’s a really important
7:52
um I think it’s the most dangerous thing I recently saw somebody almost die from
7:59
overreaching and deliverance sure
8:04
no that that we’ve seen we’ve seen some something really serious counter-attacks
8:09
and just because they didn’t have you know everything in place um yeah that got pretty hurt and it
8:17
doesn’t matter what the intentions are yeah no no you’ve you’ve just got to
8:23
have the wisdom of those that go ahead the generals in the Army you know that
8:29
that train the troops and that nobody moves out of line so that’s so important
8:36
all right yeah okay so we are trying to understand the role of spiritual warfare
8:43
and also understanding the the whole concept of of authority and power and ranking and
8:52
God’s Army so um for us to know what what is Authority uh
8:59
Authority is the right that I have to rule and Reign and we know that God gives us Authority
9:07
um and it’s not but it’s not about power and so it’s it’s so important that we
9:13
realize um you know what what is the difference between Authority and power uh so that I
9:20
I can um walk in that which God is mandated to me but um I’m not all Macho and flexing
9:29
my muscles and then the enemy takes me out uh because you can’t challenge the
9:34
enemy you know um I have a lot of respect for the enemy um and he’s been around a lot longer
9:40
than what I have and he knows the Bible pretty well um so I I don’t I don’t take on any
9:48
challenges um you know it’s it’s very important if
9:53
you do get challenged that you back off and you say sorry I’m not going to accept any challenges if you do
10:00
challenge then you will you will um turn to my God and he will deal with
10:06
it I’m not I’m not going to play that game so it’s just important to understand you
10:12
know where do I fit in and what I’m allowed and not allowed okay so power will follow Authority so
10:20
the first thing that I need to understand then is that I’ve been given Authority and the power is the power of the holy
10:27
spirit it’s it’s not my power it’s not because I flex my muscles
10:33
um you know or I it’s the amount of word I know or whatever and it’s important to
10:38
know the word because that’s my sword um but that it’s not my power and and
10:44
that keeps me humble to realize that um you know it’s it’s not what I do but
10:51
it is what he has already done two thousand years ago um what the Lord Jesus has done and it’s
10:57
because of what he has done and that he he then empowers me
11:03
um in his name and and you know you just realize that that those are the kind of
11:08
boundaries that I need to always remember keep it in mind who I am and
11:13
who God is okay so um we have Luke 10 verse 17 and
11:20
18 and this is such an um important scripture where um Jesus gives the 70 Authority
11:29
any and he says to them now go and you know drive out the demons and and and
11:34
and uh spread the gospel and they come back with so much joy
11:40
and saying Lord even the demons are subjected to us in your name so I mean they were pretty excited because things
11:47
were happening and uh they didn’t know if it was possible because you know this
11:52
is now in the New Testament and this is now discipling them and so they see but
11:59
wow this is awesome you know things are happening the demons are listening and
12:04
then this is the answer that is so key and Jesus said to you to them I saw
12:09
Satan falling like a lightning Flash from heaven and that’s when he was
12:15
kicked out because of the Rebellion and then he goes on he says behold I
12:20
have given you Authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions and
12:25
physical and mental strength and ability I love the Amplified it really explains
12:31
it well so I need physical and mental strength and ability over all the power
12:37
that the enemy possesses because when Goliath was shouting at Little David and
12:44
he was trying to and shouting at the armies of Israel um and and trying to threaten them and
12:52
um you know that they were they were in a state of panic and fear um that you need that mental strength
12:59
when the enemy is intimidating you and he’s trying to get you to back off that
13:06
you know who you are and like David I said who is this uncircumcised
13:12
Philistine and he knew who he was in God and he didn’t back off
13:17
so that is so important that it’s you know it’s I need to be physically strong
13:23
you know if you are fasting um it’s a battle already on its own and
13:29
so when you actually go into combat then um I’m just going to put a bunny trail
13:35
in here but it’s it’s important that you have meat because you need the protein
13:41
and so um you know to build to build your strength and so uh the mental
13:47
strength of course is to know who you are in the Lord and to know the word and not to back down and so uh we we we
13:55
receive this word with with gratefulness with Thanksgiving that God has given us
14:01
all the power that we need over the enemy and nothing shall in any way harm
14:08
you and and to understand that and to have it grab to be grounded in his word
14:13
and when you do fear and when your heart starts to pump and your your knees start
14:20
to weaken to know that you know that he’s given us this word and he says
14:26
nothing will harm me he is in charge he watches over me and I know that he he’s
14:35
with me and the battle is the Lords the victory is mine so this is so important
14:42
and then on in verse 20 it says nevertheless do not rejoice at this that
14:48
the spirits are subject to you so don’t get excited for the demons you know go
14:53
into a hype because the demons are are afraid of me I mean that that’s going to
14:59
start pumping up your pride and so you’ve got to watch for that and he said don’t rejoice in this he says but
15:05
Rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven and so it is so uh key that you must be
15:15
known in in heaven um in and that’s second heaven as well
15:20
where Satan is ruling and so that when you get up in the morning and you start to pray that he should say oh no she’s
15:28
awake you know and and she’s busy praying and so um your your voice should
15:35
be known in heaven so you have a voice print you have a frequency with your
15:41
voice and so it’s important that um you know Jesus is telling us don’t
15:47
rejoice and get excited about the demons um you know focus on the fact that
15:53
you’re known in heaven that your voice is known that you are a Praying person
15:58
um that you speak the word um and that’s what we should be rejoicing in so it’s just a Focus Shift
16:05
because people tend to be uh they get excited and they’re in for the hype and
16:11
you know the excitement of seeing demons manifest I I get so upset when I see
16:16
cameras you know in Services where people are manifesting and they’ve got
16:21
these camera guys and they wait for the camera guy to come and put the camera on
16:27
the person and show all of this and do this whole thing about the demons talking to them and it’s all a big hype
16:34
and um it’s a show and it’s a circus there’s actual YouTube channels that
16:39
that’s pretty much all they do which is yeah that is such a it’s such a personal
16:46
um yeah it’s very invasive in my mind yeah it’s it’s so degrading and you know
16:52
if you if you realize you’re working with the with the with the cherry on the
16:58
top of God’s creation I mean this is this is the best of all
17:03
that God ever created was the human being and so we have no right
17:09
to try and boost our ego uh and our pride by saying how powerful
17:15
we are um you know because these demons are are challenging us or shouting and screaming
17:21
or whatever but but it’s the Dignity of the person that you need to protect and so the minute there’s a manifestation
17:28
within a group of people you take the person outside and you deal with them alone in private
17:36
and you protect their dignity and so it is so important that you don’t make a
17:42
circus and you don’t exploit them at all um that is so shameful because then it
17:49
goes on to uh online and everybody sees what you look like when a demon
17:55
manifests through you and that is really um so horrible so um I I get so upset
18:02
when I see that common I really do because it’s not fair it’s not fair on
18:07
the people no I agree all right so um the enemy is not so much
18:13
afraid of us preaching the words of Jesus he’s afraid of us submitting to the
18:20
authority of Jesus such a difference if he can yeah such a difference because if
18:25
he can feed your Rebellion if he can feed oh I can bind anything I can rebuke
18:31
anything you know I have the power and the authority and that’s what I’m focusing on then I’m going to totally
18:37
miss it and the enemy is going to get me and that’s why I say I have tremendous respect
18:43
um for what goes on in the spirit world and for what the enemy can do
18:49
um and and it’s definitely not to say that he’s just Mickey Mouse and his teeth has been pulled and all of that
18:55
stuff because it’s not true um he’s he’s pretty dangerous and I you
19:00
need to to to know the rule book you need to know the rules of engagement and
19:06
you really need to have the fear of God upon your life before you go into any
19:11
territory of the enemy before you tackle things you know and start to address
19:16
things in spiritual warfare you really need to be very very careful and so
19:23
um start praying that you will love the truth and that you pray that you will
19:30
have the fear of the Lord and that’s not a negative fear that is a reverential fear a respect
19:37
for who God is but also for who the enemy is and and not to
19:44
um you know flaunt and be full of Pride and whatever to to say but I can do it
19:50
you can’t you can’t do it if if God doesn’t do it and if Jesus doesn’t go ahead of us
19:56
um we’re gonna really get hurt and then you know into trouble so um
20:01
Satan is afraid when we start submitting to the word
20:07
and we start obeying and walking within the commands of the word
20:12
um you know of of how God is telling us how to engage in battle and when we
20:19
start respecting that and oh being obedient to that that’s when Satan’s afraid because he can’t get to us but
20:26
the minute we move into Pride that is Lucifer let’s Lucifer’s character so the
20:31
minute we move into Pride he’s got us and so um yeah we can really I have
20:38
counseled so many people that have really got so wounded because they stepped out of out of their um the
20:45
boundaries of the word so um how do we then obey the you know
20:51
the authority of God I’ve got submit to the authority of Jesus we do this by
20:56
living a lifestyle of loving obedience and so Lord I obey your word because I
21:03
love you not because I have to you know many times um of course there is you know there
21:10
there is the rule book and it can be where people see the Bible as it’s just laws and do’s
21:17
and don’ts and you know all of that and that’s not at all how we walk with God we walk with him because we love him and
21:24
we obey his word because we love him and so love should be the key love should be
21:30
the motivation and so uh we are then submitted to God’s
21:35
will father what do you want me to pray um how do you want me to do you want me
21:41
to go on on this battle do you want me to be part of this Army that’s going to fight is this on your heart for me
21:50
and so it’s so important to be tuned in to listen to God and not just to run
21:55
into battle and and you know be Rambo or whatever
22:01
um but to really hear what is God God for you and so biblically Authority is
22:07
about representation I’m representing God and that means I have to hear what he
22:14
tells me I can’t just do what I want I need to listen and obey and so we have
22:21
authority in the name of Jesus when we are representing his will
22:27
and so I don’t have authority when I’m doing my own thing when I decide how I’m going to pray and
22:34
I’m going to deal with the devil I will show the devil a thing or two you know those those kind of of comments and
22:41
attitude of heart is so dangerous and so um I need to be totally submitted
22:47
because I’m representing his will on earth and the emphasis is on the sender
22:54
it’s on Jesus not me and so I need to get off the uh away from the spotlight
23:02
and get back into the shadows and put put Jesus on the spotlight because it’s
23:07
about him and so if if in a counseling session you are dealing with a ritual
23:14
abused person and the witch part would come forward or the Warlock part would
23:19
come forward and you know in in the occult they love challenges they love to
23:25
threaten they love to um you know to to really go for you and
23:31
get you afraid and so uh just like Goliath shouted at David and so
23:37
um you know it’s it’s when they are uh when they challenge you it’s what are
23:43
you gonna do what are you going to do and sometimes you know they get quite violent and they want to grab you and
23:51
you see their hands come up and they want to grab you and you know if you immediately take the authority you know
23:58
who you are they back off because they know you know who you are and so um it
24:04
is so important not to uh fall for the for the the tricks with that gets played
24:10
but also not to try and be Rambo no don’t be Superwoman or Superman
24:17
um for Jesus you know it’s he Jesus is the one where the emphasis is okay so uh
24:25
Jesus example this for us because everything he did um he knew that he was sent by his
24:32
father and he submitted to God’s will he he he said he only did what the will of the
24:40
father he never ever did anything on his own and so um common it’s you know I was I
24:47
was ministering to a uh a Survivor um and she was a pastor’s wife
24:55
um programmed the Nazi you know the whole German stuff and
25:00
um and we went to Israel it was in the in in the time that we went to Israel on a
25:06
trip and I remember her you know they the the survivors get very dependent on
25:13
on Ministry time and um so it’s very important for them to be
25:18
connected to you and I I said to her that’s fine we can stay connected and if she has any problems I’m happy to pray
25:25
for her even while we’re in Israel and I remember that she was really crying out
25:32
you know desperately um just for support and we were in The Garden of Gethsemane
25:39
and um I had this amazing encounter with God and he showed me when Jesus Took the
25:47
cup and he started to drink he he dropped he drank to the very last
25:55
drop there wasn’t a drop left in the cup and the reason was father not my will
26:02
but let your will be done and he knew that by drinking that cup
26:08
there was there was really a tough battle waiting for him he knew that it
26:14
was not going to be easy and yet he said if he could he would pray that this cup would pass but he
26:23
said no father not my will but lecture will be done and I shared with her
26:28
because I said to her this is what I felt that God wants our will
26:34
because he does nothing if he doesn’t have our will um he got he gave us a free will
26:41
and what they end and the first thing the enemy does is he binds our will it puts us into bondage
26:47
whether it’s an addiction whether it’s the occult whether it’s sexual stuff whatever but he puts us into bondage
26:54
because he knows the power of the freedom of the will for you to choose
26:59
and so when he puts chains upon your will then he’s got you and you are then
27:04
submitted to him and um it was like she was in a panic a
27:11
place of panic where she was saying but Amanda I can’t I can’t you know and I’m
27:16
battling this and I can’t you know I’m really I’m struggling and then and I explained to her and I said you know but
27:23
but Jesus drinking that cup and finishing right to the very bottom there was nothing left meant that he
27:32
made it possible for you to take back your will and to stand up
27:39
and to start resisting because the Warfare lies in your will
27:46
and so the you know Jesus made the way where there wasn’t a way to get freedom
27:53
from bondage of my will yeah and so because he finished that cup
27:58
I now am able to take my will back the power of my will the freedom of my
28:05
will to say I choose and maybe I don’t feel like it maybe I feel defeated maybe
28:11
I feel weak but the fact that I choose the minute I make that step yes and I
28:18
choose with my will Jesus comes running and he’s there and he takes he takes the
28:24
enemy on and so you immediately feel his presence and so um we’re a lot and many times
28:32
people will say I can’t you know I can’t it’s too much and I’m not going to make
28:37
it you know well it’s funny too because as you’re speaking that all I can do is
28:43
rewind in my mind all the times I’ve heard oh it’s a disease it’s not this or
28:49
it’s that and I do believe that Satan is brilliant at pulling people out of
28:55
themselves and blaming things on the outside instead of allowing people to
29:01
realize how powerful that scaffolding is inside them but they just haven’t
29:07
practiced it yet and and the more they connect with Christ and the more times they disciple under the word they’re
29:14
gonna have that scaffolding and they will be able to make a decision and use free will but as long as they believe
29:21
that the power is outside of them then I think that’s uh that’s going to be a
29:28
sticking point for sure I can’t wait to see how the story ends yeah
29:33
okay so um what do what do we have authority over so this is important that
29:39
we understand uh first and foremost I have authority over myself and so this
29:46
is where the cup comes in this is where I personally am then able to to stand
29:53
against the enemy um you know where I can make that choice and and and Jesus will come and he will
30:01
fight for me so that is definitely number one I have authority over myself
30:07
so um I’ve just put it into circles so that’s myself and my family my that’s
30:14
the Inner Circle and that’s why I have total authority to pray for my family to
30:20
pray for my children to pray for my marriage so all of that is the first the
30:25
first uh Circle the first uh ranking um of of God’s Army the next is then
30:32
when I stopped um praying for people in in a church or
30:37
a community set up a home Church um you know Bible study group where I
30:43
start to encourage others I start to share the word and then I have an a bigger Circle which
30:50
is um once I get identified in my church by my leadership and they can see but
30:58
there’s a calling there’s gifting the whatever the prophetic or you know um
31:04
whatever God has gifted me with they start identifying the gift because the
31:10
Bible says that your gift will make room for you and so you don’t have to kick down a
31:16
door to to to be able to minister um you flow in your gift just be who God
31:23
made you to be and so you have um the the Church of the community the
31:28
leadership there start recognizing but there’s there’s definitely an anointing upon your life and they they then uh you
31:37
you as you start to get stronger and um there’s more proof of the of of the
31:42
gift upon your life they will then decide when the time is right to call you forward and to actually release you
31:49
and you know like Apostolic uh release you into a Ministry and you get
31:56
recognized by leadership and that is so important um to be recognized because then you are
32:03
a sent one and it’s like there’s imparted delegated authority given to
32:08
you to then function and flow in your gift under protection
32:14
and under a watchful eye which is so important that’s the discipleship part
32:20
that even or you know if you are uh social prophetically you know you are so
32:27
sharp in intercession it is still important that you get mentored
32:32
um you know if you’re young that you you grow and you mature and and
32:38
um you know you get watched there’s someone that watches over you and helps you along the way and then once you are
32:45
recognized in your community then you start uh okay we’re going to pray for
32:50
the city so we call the churches together so pastors will you send your
32:56
intercessors will you send those who are shot prophetically to pray with us over
33:01
the city and then you start becoming a city uh prayer Warrior you know and and you
33:07
start functioning uh over the city which is not not team now it’s an army and
33:13
then when we start praying for the nation then okay the city intercessors
33:19
are called to join so that we can start praying for the nation so this is just a
33:25
ranking you know shortly uh in a nutshell how it works and how important
33:31
it is to stay within the boundaries of wherever it is that you have been
33:36
released and where you are functioning and Rec you know recognition from
33:42
leaders um and um where you are have been blessed and um you know hands laid on
33:49
and imparted to to to function all right so then we see that we have to be
33:56
trained it is so important when you go to battle you can’t just run into battle and you
34:02
have not had boot camp you’ve had no army training you don’t know who the enemy is you don’t know what weapons we
34:10
have you don’t know what weapons the enemy has and so it is so important to
34:15
understand the training part and so because I have to grow in Authority it’s
34:21
not I don’t have the fullness of all the authority to now go and fight for the country I have to grow in my authority
34:28
and in my ranking and I find that this training and preparation is example for
34:35
us in the lives of Samson and David I don’t know if you have uh studied their
34:41
lives it’s very interesting to see how they were trained uh first of all you
34:48
know how they went in and grew in ranking and so David didn’t rush off and
34:53
go for Goliath he he first had to be trained and same with Samson he didn’t
34:59
just kill all the Philistines from the from the word go it was a long story uh
35:05
how his life unfolded and he was taught to fight so Samson first took on the
35:10
Young Lion and then he battled 30 men so it was there was step by step God was
35:18
training him and watching him did he win the battle he sent this lion across his
35:24
path and then he won and then the next there were 30 men and he had to fight
35:30
the 30 men and then we see um it was then a thousand men I mean can
35:36
you imagine uh with a Jawbone of a donkey how he fought against a thousand
35:42
men 30 men already is huge but here he is and and he’s fighting and he wins
35:49
again so he’s growing in ranking he’s understanding battle plan strategy he’s
35:55
listening to God how do I do it what should I do so God tells him the the
36:00
Jawbone of a donkey and only then after all of this that
36:06
he’s gone through later on in his life but you know what is so interesting is if you look at the story with Delilah
36:13
and how she tried to get the secret of his strength and eventually got it out
36:19
of him um when when he he played the game and
36:25
he released the secret which he should never have spoken um but she pissed at him so much that he
36:32
eventually told her that the secret is in his hair and and because he thought
36:37
well I could break the chains anytime I’m strong and he started to rely on his
36:42
own strength and his own power and not in The Obedience of of not cutting his
36:48
hair and not telling the secret and of course when she when she heard it she
36:54
tied him down again with ropes and then cut his hair and then when he tried to
36:59
break the ropes he couldn’t and so that’s when he overplayed his hand
37:05
um and and Delilah got him and so he was taken into captivity
37:11
um and his eyes were pierced out and he just it was a dreadful uh life that he
37:18
then LED um and then when it was the end of of
37:24
his life which um he he just knew he’s now being taken
37:29
into this Banquet Hall where the top Philistines all the Lords and the
37:35
princes of the Philistines were together Under One Roof and he said to the little boy who was leading him because he was
37:42
blind he said to them uh to him take me to where the pillars are
37:48
because if I can put my hands on the pillars now nobody knew what he was going to do and they did not know that
37:54
he’d regained his strength and God gave him a final chance to actually have the
38:01
victory at the end of his life although it was it was quite a sad story
38:07
um you know when you see uh what he went through and so right at the end when he
38:13
stood with his hands against the pillars and he pushed that whole roof came down and he he
38:21
fought the greatest battle of his life and he he slew most of the
38:29
Philistines the the Lords the the top-ranking Philistines and unfortunately he died as well but he won
38:36
the battle for the Lord so it does end well and I’d love to speak to him one
38:43
day uh when we get to heaven and we are able to meet with everyone so what is
38:49
what is amazing is he redeems the land so he was called to redeem the land and
38:55
the if you if you look at what he did uh how he goes to the gates of the city he
39:01
know he understands the power of gates and what happens at the gates and he he goes to the gates of the city and he
39:08
breaks the gates out of their position so he takes the gates of the city
39:15
um he possesses those gates for the Lord and um and then and when he’s there with
39:21
those pillars those pillars were like the gates I mean they were holding up the roof and it was the the best place
39:29
to be and he pushed and that’s when um you know they all came when they all
39:37
died in in that whole um final Act of power now if we look at David we follow the
39:44
same thing you know you can’t get to the big battle which they end with with Goliath if you don’t go through training
39:51
there’s a training and growing in ranking you you fight the battle and
39:57
then you once you’ve overcome that battle then there’s another level and then you then there’s more to learn and
40:04
and when you fight that and you win then you go move on and so it’s it’s all the
40:11
time you are growing in ranking and so David too had to First Take on the bear
40:17
and then the lion before he actually fought Goliath
40:23
and so um we see that this whole ranking and understanding Warfare
40:29
is you know the Old Testament is is where we learn the Practical lessons and
40:35
we apply it in the New Testament because now we have the anointing we have the
40:42
power and everything that Jesus then conquered for us
40:47
and so in one Samuel 17 36 it says that your servant killed both The Lion and
40:55
the Bear and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them so
41:01
in other words he was sort of resting and drawing his strength from having
41:07
overcome the lion and overcoming the bear and now he says I can take the
41:13
giant so it’s it’s the process of growing in ranking and not just running
41:19
if you haven’t overcome a couple of battles and you’ve got Battle Scars and so the whole thing
41:26
about the Battle Scars is so precious because that is what gives you anointing
41:32
um are the Battle Scars you know if you look at a lion uh in the natural he uh
41:38
Old Lion is scarred and he um he he has fought quite a few battles and so when
41:45
they see this old lion and they see the scars they back off because they
41:51
immediately have respect this is a general you know on the
41:56
battlefield and so um it is what you see in the natural also happens in the
42:01
spirit world all right so then um the the word just goes on to say that
42:08
this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them like The Lion and the bay for he has defied the armies of the
42:15
Living God and that is where Goliath was mocking God and mocking you know Israel
42:21
the army of the Lord and um yeah so David said no way I’m not going to allow
42:27
this and then when they try to put on uh you know the the battle gear of Saul
42:34
um he just couldn’t handle it was too heavy and he said just just give me what I’m used to and um it’s amazing how five
42:43
Pebbles right give me five Pebbles is that the senses because I’ve heard
42:49
people’s talk about if you see five in the Bible that it has to do with our senses yeah the five senses and also
42:57
Grace and then in the occult uh you know if you look at the at the Babylon when
43:04
they did the diggings of Babylon and they got to the fifth level of the
43:09
ziggurat because it was the Tower of Babel was a ziggurat and at the top was
43:14
a psychic Tower which they they tried to contact the Fallen one
43:20
if nothing changes does it not at all no
43:25
and so um yeah it’s babylon’s coming back okay I mean that’s what we spoke about the last time so
43:33
um you know but Babylon will be so that’s what’s going to happen at the end and um yeah so so when when we see
43:42
um you know that that that’s what they try to do if you get to the fifth layer it’s Mars it’s the planet Mars and that
43:50
was the planet that Hitler focused very much on and so it was his it was his
43:56
planet of War and so it’s a um it’s a red color
44:02
so it’s just interesting you know to see how they would draw uh even from the
44:07
Tower of Babel the different layers and colors okay so um Rules of Engagement delegated
44:15
authority and this is where things really get very important um common because
44:22
um this is where Paul is teaching us here in 2 Corinthians 10 verse 13 and
44:27
he’s telling us that there is um that they asked this ranking and he’s
44:34
telling us that there’s delegated spheres of authority where we can
44:39
operate in and so he’s speaking from their own experience and he says we on
44:45
the other hand will not boast beyond our legitimate Province and proper limit
44:52
so he says be careful that you don’t boast and it’s me and we won the battle and we did this and we did that
45:00
um but to remember who you are that you could do nothing if God wasn’t with you and it’s his power and it’s his
45:07
authority um and and you just happen to be the instrument that he used but it’s it’s
45:13
all about him and so um he says we’re not going to move out of our proper
45:19
limit but we will keep within the limits of our commission which God has allotted
45:27
to us as our measuring line and which reaches and includes even you
45:34
so the the Corinthians was within that sphere of authority that God had said
45:41
this is what I’m giving you this is where you must fight and this is the area where you battle
45:47
don’t go over that don’t go you know into another nation and try and fight there um that’s not your mandate stick
45:55
with your mandate and so Paul is telling us that when we go into battle that
46:01
there’s a definite battle plan there is a sphere there’s a limit
46:07
that God says this is your battle this is where you fight
46:12
um and don’t take on something that God has not ordained you to fight and then he goes on in verse 14 for we are not
46:20
overstepping the limits of our Province and stretching beyond our ability to
46:27
reach so this is so clear I love this word you
46:32
know Paul is making it so clear as though we reached not had no legitimate
46:37
mission to you because you Corinthians are within that which God has given us
46:43
authority over we can minister to you we are not going beyond our ranking
46:50
and and we on we we won’t we won’t get into trouble for we were the very first to come even
46:58
as far as to you with the good news of Christ and so he’s just explaining that
47:04
there are limits there are boundaries when it comes to a battle stay within
47:10
that which God has assigned you where you fight where you are positioned and
47:16
don’t um think you can you know what is so sad common is that people would
47:22
um come into Cape Town you know when when we were there and Cape Town is a is
47:28
a gateway City it’s a it’s a very powerful city um and the enemy you know over the
47:35
continent of Africa and so you would have people that would just decide uh
47:40
they now feel they they need to come and pray but there’s they haven’t been sent
47:46
um there’s no mandate there’s there’s no okay who do we when we come into the
47:52
city um there is a leadership that God has appointed over the city
47:57
and now you just come in and you just do what you want to do um pray anything that you feel to pray
48:04
and then you don’t expect to be hit you know because you you are now just
48:09
willy-nilly and and and there’s no the Army is very disciplined
48:15
and Satan’s Army is exceptionally disciplined we still need to learn you
48:21
know we really need to learn um what it takes you know so to be
48:26
obedient and to do what God tells us to do and not to do what we feel we want to do and so um it is so dangerous just to
48:34
move into any place and go and pray because you feel it’s wonderful to do this
48:40
um because that’s really looking for trouble and um and and we have seen we’ve seen
48:46
so much damage that has come uh I would love for you to share if if you have
48:52
time um I would love for you to share some of the some of the reality of
48:59
someone you know maybe or something that happened just so that people can put it in perspective
49:06
um because I’m telling you this friend of mine that overreached like she literally was
49:12
so sick on the brink of death for a very long time I think it was like eight to 12 weeks and her family was ministering
49:18
to her you know health and they no doctor could figure out what was wrong with her literally no doctor
49:25
well yeah yeah Coleman we’ve we’ve seen that um we we went into a city
49:32
um and so you know you I do teaching and then we there for a week when we do
49:38
one-on-one Ministry and um this uh so they they would come
49:43
like every every two hours or so you know so you’ve got enough time to work with the person
49:50
and um this daughter brought her mother and they were telling me the story that
49:56
this mother was one of the most strongest prayer you know persons in the
50:02
area and she did amazing work she led many people to the Lord and
50:09
um yeah she’s in a wheelchair they the daughter’s pushing her in in a
50:14
wheelchair and she is um she can’t swallow if she swallows too
50:20
quickly then she starts choking um it’s just she was just so battling
50:27
she was like Hey you know her head was hanging like listen and and and her
50:32
tongue was protruding and I mean she really looked bad and I thought but what
50:37
happened you know and I said please will you pray and I just thought but father what happened here because if she was
50:45
such a powerful prayer lady um something seriously went wrong
50:51
and I just asked the question I asked the daughter because I looked at the
50:57
mother and I didn’t think the mother could talk and you know she was really not not capable at all
51:03
um and I said to the daughter did your mother pray something that she shouldn’t have
51:09
prayed or attacked you know went into war against something that she shouldn’t
51:15
have that was too too much for her that was not delegated to her
51:20
and the next minute she she sort of swung her head the mother swung her head
51:25
and came up and and said yes and I said to her wow what happened what
51:32
did you pray and she said I looked at a daughter for help and she
51:39
said the witch doctors oh gosh
51:44
as lady alone no Army no no no safety within an army
51:51
she alone took on the powers and principalities over the witch doctors of that whole
51:58
area of all the Farms because they she was leading so many
52:04
people to the Lord and and she became a threat to them and they then started doing rituals against her
52:11
and then she decided Well I’m going to take up the challenge if this is what they’re doing you know and she waits for
52:18
you know took up the challenge and that’s what happened and then I said okay are you prepared to
52:25
repent ask God’s forgiveness and ask him to pull you back under his
52:31
cloud of covering and she said yes yes definitely
52:37
and so um we had I had asked the people you know just to prepare communion in
52:44
case we needed it you know you you just in counseling you’re just ready for anything instead of running around you
52:52
know looking for stuff I have anointing oil you know whatever we need and there
52:57
was uh the the elements for communion and I mean it’s the blood of Jesus that
53:03
is that has the final word and I knew that we were gonna win this battle by
53:08
declaring what Jesus has done and so when I led her
53:15
in prey it was difficult for her to talk because it was you know her tongue was
53:21
was was protruding and it was difficult but she did she spoke it out yeah shows
53:27
me chills she repented and then I brought her the cup now what we would
53:33
you know we would bless the elements and then we would pass the cup around to to
53:38
those that so it was her daughter it was herself it was me and and and the friend that was with me
53:44
um and the pastor who who was also there supporting and so she took the cup
53:51
and she started to drink this cup and she downed completely
53:57
oh my God you couldn’t swallow who couldn’t drink more than two sips
54:02
because she would you know choke sure she drank it down
54:07
and it was like she knew that the answer was in the blood of Jesus so I know this
54:13
is symbolic but she took it really by faith and God lived to do it out of that
54:19
wheelchair totally back to her position and I said to her I’m sure you’ve
54:25
learned a big lesson now right oh thank God you figured it out that poor woman you know um she would not do
54:33
that again another a young man was also lying in bed he’d been um on his back
54:40
for a week he couldn’t move he was like paralyzed and they asked please could we
54:47
come and pray for him again I said what happened did you take on something that
54:53
you shouldn’t have and he said yeah well I took on the strong man over our city uh
54:59
you know because we can bind and rebuke and you know we have the authority and we have the power but we don’t apply the
55:07
Army rules and so um yeah this is this is so important so
55:13
he was like paralyzed and then I led him into renouncing and asking forgiveness
55:19
and asking God to pull him back and put his cover over him again it seems like
55:25
it’s all rooted in Pride too if you think about it um somebody in their intentions I
55:31
believe are actually really good somebody thinking oh well this is the fastest way I I want to protect my
55:38
neighborhood or I want to protect you know whatever my something that’s beyond your own territory and and then not
55:47
realizing that they’re dealing with huge principalities and agents
55:53
um and and God Is So organized I mean Satan is so organized
55:58
um because one of the things that I realized when I was any time I’ve been
56:03
in a territory I shouldn’t be and I’ll call it away from the cloud covering that you’re talking about that is God
56:09
right I think of Exodus like follow the cloud right and um or the fire you know
56:14
sit with the cloud yeah but but yeah you to be able to sit with God but it’s wild because I I can rewind to a few times in
56:21
my life where even just me sharing with people what my thoughts are would bring
56:29
out such vitriol so for example when I originally came out in 2020 kind of
56:35
against all the pandemic stuff like I got attacked and then just recently with this sound of Freedom movie all I wrote
56:41
was I’m not going to the movie and then all these people started asking me why so I started answering it and I
56:47
literally found myself in a nest of what I felt was evil and I I would love to hear what your thoughts are on just
56:54
social media team you know nuisance demons is there such a thing as like low-level nuisance demon yeah definitely
57:02
definitely because the thing is you are causing a stir and you are influencing
57:07
people you know with what you say and they’re not going to leave it there so
57:12
um they will then scan you I mean that’s how we we get scanned to see okay did
57:18
God give you that that assignment um you know so it’s it’s the whole thing
57:24
are you walking in obedience to God or are you just reacting because you know
57:29
it’s it’s this reaction um you know and counter-reaction for whatever they were saying and now you’re
57:37
trying to also tell them listen you know I’ve got a check or whatever
57:42
but it’s it is that you are stepping out and then you have you know all these
57:49
demons crashing in on you the thing is they’ve got your number and they’ve got your name and then they go into rituals
57:54
you know against you right and so um if you do do something then you need to
58:01
have an army you need to have backup you you can’t do this on your own and so God
58:07
doesn’t have Lone Ranger uh armies uh you know he he doesn’t have just one
58:15
person that takes on you know the the world um there’s always backup and so um if
58:23
you’ve been given the Mandate sure you know then he’s going to protect you you will be under his Cloud even if you walk
58:30
out there and you you do speak what he’s told you you know to to take on
58:36
um but it’s just if we do it in our in our own and the thing is what the enemy wants to get us to trip up is through
58:44
Pride uh he wants to uh get us to and anger you know stir you up to get you
58:51
all worked up and and you know how can they stink us or how can they say this and I can’t keep quiet and you know so
58:58
it’s uh just to know you know that scripture that says be still and know
59:04
that I’m God and so many times when when I had been
59:09
um you know falsely accused and and I’d heard all this nonsense that they that
59:15
they’re saying you know when when as I was growing in the minister history and walking in this field and and all the
59:21
attacks are against bloodline cruises and it’s not real and and got you know
59:26
Jesus done it all and we don’t need to do the bloodline cruises and things and I knew that that it was truth I had the
59:33
truth um but but I had to be get stronger I had to build up tenacity I had to build
59:40
up capacity and to stand to stand in the day of battle and not back off right um
59:46
and so when the attacks came um it was the most difficult was to keep
59:52
quiet because I want to get on the phone and you know let them know
59:57
and they just to be still be still and know that I am God and that was the
1:00:04
biggest battle for me and the Victory to be still and know that God’s got my back
1:00:10
so he will fight for me and he will vindicate me and so the enemy tries to
1:00:16
stir us up you know he tries so hard God to get us to act in the flesh and the
1:00:21
minute we start acting in the flesh he’s got us and what’s Wild is in in neither
1:00:27
one of those cases did I think it was anything spiritual right both of them I
1:00:33
just thought I was sharing good information hey you might want to know this or you know whatever yeah and
1:00:39
apparently I crossed a a principality without being aware of it is that what
1:00:44
you’re saying yeah that that definitely that would have stood the prince of the
1:00:50
power of the a it’s the a waves right and so because you were you know you were on social
1:00:57
media and that then people read and they and they get they definitely do think
1:01:04
um you know they are those that you do reach right and um they try and shut you up as quick as possible
1:01:12
it’s wild to me because I I wouldn’t have guessed me just saying I wasn’t going to a movie would would cause all
1:01:18
that it did but rewinding um in light of what you said I
1:01:24
definitely wanted to Stand My Ground and explain myself and maybe I would have been better off just leaving it alone
1:01:31
and then waiting for God to say okay now do this you know and it’s just a simple check-in but it’s really easy to forget
1:01:39
um but I definitely blocked a lot of people and I mean even today this woman came on here and she’s like oh this
1:01:44
woman is does not have a real heart she’s just doing this for money and I’m like I’ve never taken a penny
1:01:51
from these people what are they talking about so anyway um I I feel like that’s probably
1:01:58
something that’s very applicable to all of us absolutely yeah so you know if also to
1:02:06
to not rush into something like for example when there was the reaction to
1:02:12
wait and say okay father watch what do you say I should say you know how give me
1:02:19
your wisdom give me your Insight right you know but but our first reaction is
1:02:27
well I’m just gonna explain you know and just tell them yes yeah no you’re so
1:02:32
right and it’s interesting because um that was my first reaction and it seems so logical to me I’m like you know
1:02:39
this is my own opinion I get to have this right and so I think sometimes the
1:02:44
enemy knows the exact hook to keep you going
1:02:50
um and really when it should have been down to you know well for me it’s just
1:02:55
God has you know told me to sit but there’s lots of times God tells one
1:03:00
person to sit in another person to go yeah yeah yeah and it’s to listen what
1:03:06
you must do yeah so interesting we all learn common we all
1:03:11
learned but as a stepping stone yes all right so we must operate in our
1:03:17
delegated authority and I think Paul has explained it pretty well then in Corinthians and not overstep our sphere
1:03:24
of whatever God has assigned you to do um also you know
1:03:30
um if you’re a counselor trained in counseling and and and a person comes to you and suddenly
1:03:38
you discover but there’s SRA and you’ve never been trained in SRA don’t take
1:03:45
that on until you’ve been trained um and then you you will be much more
1:03:51
effective and you’ll be safe and so many times people just Rush In And ah but
1:03:59
I’ve got a power and I’ve got Authority and I can do it um instead of looking at the training
1:04:04
that David and Samson you know if that if God had to train them then surely we also need to be trained
1:04:11
so um yeah it’s just to you know in so many ways uh just listen listen to what
1:04:17
God says so to do so is to operate in if I overstep my sphere in other words I’m
1:04:23
moving to something that I’m not trained for I have not I I don’t really know what I’m doing
1:04:30
um and so is to operate in rebellion and outside of God’s Authority and that is
1:04:35
uh so dangerous you know because Satan tries to lure us into Rebellion we don’t
1:04:41
realize it’s Rebellion we think well you know I’m just going to tell them I’m gonna
1:04:47
so it seems so innocent because I know everything yeah yeah
1:04:54
so um the the hook um is to you know just with words and to
1:05:00
lure you into an argument um by yourself you know to State your
1:05:06
case and and really many times you are absolutely pure and hot right you know
1:05:13
and it’s not that you are intending to now go against God in any way but it’s just
1:05:20
how do things work in the spirit you know and especially with social media
1:05:25
okay so we see um it’s all it’s dangerous you know if I do move out of my sphere
1:05:33
um and I take on something or I I counsel somebody that I I don’t know what I’m doing I can really cause damage
1:05:39
and I can be addressing uh parts of of the person’s Humanity
1:05:46
as though I am addressing a demon and that is very very hurtful that um then
1:05:53
I’m really in trouble if I don’t if I don’t know um you know what I’m doing and I’m just
1:06:00
rushing in um I can really cause damage and I will be accountable before God
1:06:06
um another thing that is pretty important is to not um you know if a
1:06:12
woman is pregnant um to not push her into war because of a
1:06:18
baby so you don’t take a baby to war and um but if you say oh wow we’ll be fine
1:06:23
you know but if something does happen to that baby then then we stand responsible
1:06:29
before God so it’s things like that how the enemy gets tries to get an open door he tries to get us to slip up you know
1:06:38
to make a mistake all right so examples of authority
1:06:43
husbands in relation to their wives and children and of course um this is so important we are not
1:06:51
um we are not doormats um you know Jesus did so much trouble in
1:06:58
showing that that the women and men are are we are equal before God and there’s
1:07:05
not one better than another one at all and so uh where the woman was always
1:07:10
degraded and You Know spoken down to and uh she had she she just wasn’t given a
1:07:16
voice or respected in any way um in so many in so many families this
1:07:23
still happens so um it’s just you know that the the protection of the husband
1:07:30
um and the honoring and the respect that we should have and and the the picture the children see and then parents in
1:07:36
relation to their children and Elders in relation to the local assembly and so um
1:07:43
yeah these are just you know a couple of points for us to think about how does
1:07:49
um Authority then work so requirements for delegated authority number one a person must know that all
1:07:56
authority comes from God it’s not mine and the minute I start thinking that or
1:08:02
speaking that then I open a door a person must deny himself
1:08:08
and be totally submitted to what God’s Will and plan is and so
1:08:14
um it’s it’s not about me Father what is your will what do you want me to do
1:08:19
and God calls us to represent his authority not substitute his authority
1:08:28
and that’s so important because what has happened is that for example the Pope
1:08:34
has become a substitute he has become God on Earth
1:08:39
um and that’s not how God wants us to to to think
1:08:45
um that he has been given so much power and authority um as a man as a human man on Earth
1:08:53
um is is not God’s will all authority comes I agree I agree
1:08:59
yeah so we can’t substitute be a substitute for his authority and then also pastors you know leaders
1:09:06
at churches that sort of Force the The Authority uh down on on
1:09:12
people and when people are broken and come from
1:09:18
um traumatic homes or or situations then they Buckle under they Buckle under and
1:09:23
they submit and they they do things that really uh God is Not expected uh that a
1:09:29
man should have that kind of authority I know that there’s certain churches where
1:09:34
the people have to get a letter from their pastor before they go on
1:09:40
holiday they they if they they cannot buy a house
1:09:46
if the pastor doesn’t give his permission um I mean it’s crazy you know you know
1:09:52
that is crazy I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Plymouth Brethren um Church
1:09:57
yes I have okay so their their whole their whole setup is like that from what
1:10:03
I understand down to they’re not allowed to even have a computer that isn’t issued by them or a phone that is not
1:10:09
issued by them oh wow no that that is that’s not normal
1:10:15
control [Laughter] that’s that’s abusive control yeah
1:10:20
absolutely so um yeah when when I assume a role you know that that is not from
1:10:26
God it’s it’s really it can damage people and so a person must be walking in a lifestyle of Holiness and loving
1:10:33
obedience and then a person must constantly be grounded in the word and in fellowship with the Lord so that you
1:10:41
are able to discern so if somebody comes with a teaching you are able to discern you know is this absolutely in line with
1:10:48
the word um do I submit to what this teaching is what this person is saying
1:10:54
um so that I will not be deceived um you know LED down somebody trail and
1:10:59
I just believe a whole lot of nonsense that’s not in the word okay so um we are the body of Christ we
1:11:07
are called to operate within the unity and the body of Christ everyone has
1:11:13
their part or role to play so it’s just to respect each other to acknowledge
1:11:19
each other’s positions uh to acknowledge that God does um use people around me for my safety
1:11:28
um and that’s not abusive you know the abuse of stuff that we’ve just spoken about it’s somebody that really loves
1:11:34
God and wants to serve he’s a servant leader and
1:11:39
um he understands his position as a leader not to abuse people but to bring
1:11:46
them together as a family that we are family and not controlled which is then demonic
1:11:53
okay and so um Satan knows who has the revelation of authority which we have
1:12:01
been given and so he knows if you are doubting he knows if you have faith and so this
1:12:08
is so important that you must build your faith that’s why what you said in the
1:12:13
beginning common was um you know what do I say about spiritual warfare and discipleship I
1:12:19
would say discipleship is number one you know that is really so important because you cannot be part of the army if you
1:12:26
have not been discipled because you know in the word disciple is disciplined so and it’s it’s not a negative
1:12:34
discipline it’s a Godly discipline it’s order because God is a god of order
1:12:39
and Satan is is one of chaos and so if there’s no order then there’s we know
1:12:46
Satan takes over so um he knows who’s doubting
1:12:52
um who’s adopting Thomas and he will go for you so we need to to know who we are
1:12:59
in the Lord and that is part of the discipling um that I get trained in the word
1:13:05
and then do not doubt that you have authority over the enemy and if there is
1:13:11
still fear and I mean I started off in fear Mark you know when God called me into this
1:13:18
ministry the big the big thing for me to overcome Was Fear um because of the of the unknown and and
1:13:25
the spiritual stuff and I really had a huge fear you know for the enemy
1:13:32
um until I discovered who God was as my father and what he says in his word and
1:13:38
that he’s not a man that he should lie um where my dad with his drinking as a
1:13:44
physical dad I I always doubt I always doubted him I could never believe him I
1:13:50
could never trust his word um and that brought a big hurdle for me
1:13:55
to then jump over to get to my heavenly father and to know that when he says
1:14:01
something I can believe it he he is true to his word
1:14:07
um that was huge and so a lot of us you know we we all come with different stories and and different backgrounds so
1:14:15
um you know work with whatever it is wherever there is doubt wherever there is insecurity or fears or broken
1:14:22
relationships um that’s not restored what what is so important as well
1:14:29
um you know we we’ve ministered in in churches where the pastor had such
1:14:34
broken relationships with his own children and we begged we would beg him to please
1:14:43
restore relationship with his children because we would cancel the children and they are shredded they are broken they
1:14:50
are bleeding they are struggling with God because of that you know
1:14:56
um Dad is now this pastor and this is what’s what he can’t even hug them he
1:15:02
you know there’s just no relationship and and so the healing still there was
1:15:07
still so much work to be done and it’s so important you know that that we go
1:15:13
back on our tracks and work with the issues that we have that we can bring to
1:15:19
the table and and ask God to heal us and to touch us because those are the things we the minute we step out in Warfare
1:15:27
common Satan comes and he scans us and there’s a scripture
1:15:33
um we’re we’re in John where just before Jesus went to the cross
1:15:40
Satan came and Jesus said that I can’t speak with you anymore he was talking to
1:15:46
the disciples he said I can’t speak with you any longer because the one my
1:15:52
adversary is coming and he’s coming to see if there’s anything in me that belongs to him wow
1:16:01
and it’s like Jesus would open up his coat and say okay come have a look
1:16:07
and see if you can find anything in me that belongs to you right then he goes
1:16:13
on and he says and he could find no such thing
1:16:19
so that is the place of Victory when you get tested because the minute
1:16:25
you step out in war the minute you take on a battle you are gonna be checked you will
1:16:31
there’s an inspection there is an inspection that Satan does on you
1:16:37
and he pulls up anything that he has legal right on to stop you in your
1:16:43
tracks and that you will not win the battle and then you can’t understand all
1:16:49
hell breaks loose and you can’t why you know it’s just because these doors are
1:16:55
open in your life right and so it’s so important to ask God to take you on a
1:17:01
journey and it’s clean up and close the doors and you know work on those issues so that the enemy when he comes he will
1:17:10
find no such thing in you that belongs to him all right so then we see that we do have
1:17:18
authority yes God has given it to us we’re not trying to match Satan’s power
1:17:23
therefore it’s wrong to say I have power over you in the name of Jesus you have
1:17:30
to come out I don’t have the power Jesus has the power
1:17:35
so I have authority delegated authority that he’s given me but I don’t have the
1:17:41
power and so um I can’t say that sentence and I’m not trying to match his power power
1:17:47
either so when he challenges me I back off and I say I’m I’m not into challenges
1:17:53
because this in witchcraft that’s what they do they’re forever challenging each other you know who’s the strongest power
1:17:59
yeah oh my gosh yes we don’t take we don’t
1:18:04
take on any of those challenges and so we see that we must understand the
1:18:10
difference between Authority and power and so Authority is not automatic but it
1:18:16
must be taken by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit
1:18:22
and so I need to believe the word I need to get strong in the word I need to know
1:18:27
what the word says what does God give me and so that I can stand when I get
1:18:32
challenged and so if we think of a traffic cop we um see that he has a badge and that
1:18:40
badge is his authority so he he’s standing um with authority behind him he’s got
1:18:48
the Prime Minister he’s got the whole Force standing with him he’s got every
1:18:55
airplane every submarine everything that is standing for Authority
1:19:01
um in the country is standing behind the badge so his badge is the authority his weapon
1:19:10
is the power so he’s got a gun and he’s got a one of those sticks those batons
1:19:18
that he that he can give some heavy blows with and so what happens is a huge truck is
1:19:24
speeding towards him he can pull the gun
1:19:30
and try with his weapon with his power he can try and push
1:19:36
but he’s not going to get far he’s going to be flattened and so when he steps out I mean it takes
1:19:42
Faith to step in front of a truck or a bus or something big and hold up your
1:19:48
hand and all you have is the badge and you’ve got to trust that that truck
1:19:54
driver is going to have respect for that badge and stop because if he flattens you then the Army
1:20:01
and everybody else is going to come for you and so we see that
1:20:06
um we have the name of Jesus as our Authority we have the power of the Holy Spirit
1:20:13
we must have knowledge and discernment of the will of God in every situation
1:20:18
so common I was in Germany and um we were we were praying for people
1:20:26
and what happened was this guy came it was late at night you know we people had
1:20:32
lined up we were tired and this guy came up quite a shortish
1:20:37
guy but muscle I mean really you can see he’s like a dancer
1:20:43
and he he came with a story about um he wants help he wants prayer he’s a
1:20:48
pimp and will we pray with him and so
1:20:54
um we asked him what is his his name and he said his name he said what does it mean because he comes from from from
1:21:01
another country and we just wanted to know if we’re interested what does his name mean and he said it means war
1:21:08
so he was named after one of the Gods of War and then we realized but this is trouble
1:21:13
you know this is really going to be serious so what happened was that when
1:21:19
we started to pray for him it was absolutely fascinating but it was
1:21:25
like he flew in the air and he landed on his back and without thinking without you know
1:21:34
your mind you just lack in automatic with with the Holy Spirit and under the anointing
1:21:40
I went forward and I would put my hand on his chest and I you know afterwards thinking if
1:21:47
this God got up and hit me I mean I would have picked Lots out I would have right physical power definitely did not work
1:21:55
you know right it was the power of the holy spirit that pinned him down it was
1:22:00
definitely not me or my muscles and I then continue to minister and to
1:22:06
address the spirits so it’s it’s just how
1:22:11
you know that you need to understand we have the name of Jesus and I have seen
1:22:17
that when you use the name of Jesus how powerful that name is
1:22:24
and the effect in the spirit and that you know the attack how their hands drop
1:22:29
and they can’t do anything but the power of the holy spirit is is so important to
1:22:35
have as well and so um we see that Ephesians 1 verse 19 and
1:22:41
so that you can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and
1:22:47
surpassing greatness of his power in and for us who believe
1:22:55
it says it so beautifully that it’s nothing to do with me God can can turn
1:23:02
that you know it’s his power he can turn it off and then we’re really in trouble you know we need God he we need him with
1:23:10
everything in us when we’re in battle and so it’s we we must know and
1:23:16
understand the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of
1:23:22
his power in and for us who believe as demonstrated in the working of his
1:23:28
mighty strength and so that’s so clear the power of the
1:23:33
Holy Spirit enables us to move in his power and his strength
1:23:39
and without the Holy Spirit we nothing we you know I Praise Jesus that he gave
1:23:46
us that promise that he will send us the Holy Spirit who
1:23:52
will never ever leave us so that that is so special now our level
1:23:57
of Spiritual Authority in our family and those who are directly
1:24:03
related to us like our children our grandchildren grandparents parents-in-law
1:24:11
um those directly related to us that’s our most Inner Circle
1:24:16
and that I have a hundred percent Authority because that’s what God gives
1:24:23
me as an individual I can pray for my children I can pray for my marriage I
1:24:30
can pray for my home and my safety I can pray for my grandparents or my parents
1:24:38
um it’s it is my right I am allowed to do that the next step of my authority is then my
1:24:46
look the local body or the community of Believers that Fellowship in a specific
1:24:51
area when I start joining into a group now my my sphere becomes a little bigger
1:24:59
and I get delegated authority here so I’m moving away from the center which is
1:25:06
myself and my inner family my loved ones not to a broader family now it’s
1:25:13
becoming bigger in this group so when I pray I’m not just alone I have backup I
1:25:20
have people around me to pray the third layer around is my
1:25:27
city now become a city intercessor so I’m just doing a summary of what we did in the beginning and the greater
1:25:34
metropolitan area where I then um well what what I need to realize is that
1:25:42
my personal Authority is getting less and less the bigger the circle is
1:25:48
growing because it’s now delegated authority
1:25:54
because I’m now part of a team it’s not me me me
1:25:59
because if that’s where the danger lies if I take on the battles on my own and
1:26:05
the strong man over a city that’s when I’m I’m going to get into trouble and I
1:26:10
must realize that my dear it’s delegated authority but I need the Army I need the
1:26:16
rest of the people that God has positioned around me to if we get called up to fight a
1:26:23
certain battle in our city you know when we had the World Cup soccer here in South Africa in 2010
1:26:33
um we got a word that they were planning a bloodbath and they were going to bring
1:26:40
in the army forces from Zimbabwe which is the country next to us
1:26:46
um and we then mustered an army of of all people groups representing South
1:26:54
Africans and we travel to Zimbabwe we met the intercessors in Zimbabwe where we
1:27:02
repented as South Africans for our part of this whole agreement
1:27:08
to bring a bloodbath and they repented from their side for what their leaders
1:27:13
had done and uh we then you know did prophetic acts and we it was powerful it
1:27:19
was so special and then um we found out that on the way home after
1:27:26
we’d done all of that work that they actually discovered arms and ammunition
1:27:33
and explosives in the stadiums but the police had discovered it
1:27:39
and had had confiscated it so you know you you don’t realize what the effect is
1:27:47
when you pray you you go because your obedient God says you’ve got to do
1:27:52
something you can’t sit and do nothing but we made sure that we stayed within
1:27:58
the mandate and we pulled in the Army from the other
1:28:03
country that was you know implicated and where the leaders had made covenants and we
1:28:11
together as an army prayed and so that is so important to to to do
1:28:17
that and so this is then on on a country level um you know so the the bigger the circle
1:28:24
the more careful you’ve got to be because it’s all delegated authority
1:28:30
and so the country where you were born um you have you have authority because you you and the place where you living
1:28:36
you have authority so that but you not alone you part of an army and so and
1:28:42
then of course the last one is the world when um you know you we battling
1:28:49
something like the um oh there is such a good book Common um there’s a guy called Johannes fasius
1:28:57
um he was with Derek Prince part of Derek Prince’s Army and they would
1:29:03
before they do any world global um you know attacks things that that God
1:29:09
would show them that they need to pray over they would go to Israel and they would fast and pray and wait upon the
1:29:15
Lord for the battle plan and um so Johannes farsias
1:29:21
um went to battle and um he then they they were in Russia
1:29:27
and it in in Germany um you know the whole communism thing
1:29:33
um it was with that wall you know remember the the wall that that was there so you had you had the Russians
1:29:39
that were backing up the east of Germany and um so they were told to just go and
1:29:45
pray as tourists but now they they make us other tourists so they’ve got maps
1:29:50
and they’re looking at the maps meantime they’re praying you know over the maps
1:29:56
and then God said just go and put your hands on the wall
1:30:01
um you know the gods are there the dogs are there and just put your hand and just rub a you know just just gently on
1:30:07
the wall um and and don’t cause anything just quietly just
1:30:13
to clear this wall will come down which they did this was in 1989. yeah so
1:30:20
they just as tourists you know looking at the wall and watching everything going on but they just visiting this
1:30:27
this country and so they do that and they in the spirit
1:30:32
commanding the wall to come down what happened was that wall came down
1:30:39
and um it was absolutely wonderful that’s
1:30:44
what caused this wall to collapse was this battle that they were in and then Johannes fasias went into a
1:30:53
tremendous depression that he didn’t want to come out of his house
1:30:59
and he struggled with this depression and he wrote a book after he got through and he got the lesson from God
1:31:07
when God spoke to him and the book is called God can do it
1:31:12
without me amen what a wake up what a wake up so he
1:31:20
said that he he realized that he’d opened up for pride and he had done things
1:31:27
that he thought was right and good and prophetic yeah and then got into trouble
1:31:34
and then went into this I mean he’s one of was one of the top armies of the
1:31:40
world and um got into trouble and then this depression that hit him so if if you can
1:31:47
still get hold of that book please do it is amazing it is really a powerful book
1:31:52
to learn the lesson of what it is to do spiritual warfare so I said at the feet
1:31:58
of Derek Prince for years and I learned so much from this General so so much wisdom
1:32:03
and um yeah he he really emphasized this whole thing about Authority and ranking
1:32:09
and that we need to be so careful um you know not to try and do things on
1:32:14
our own so those are the global intercessors that can also get into trouble if you then read Johannes fasius
1:32:23
um you know his his whole story and so stay where God has sent you the
1:32:29
further you move from the center of the circle remember that inner circle where the family is where you have
1:32:36
full Authority that God gives you to pray the further you move away from that
1:32:41
Center the less personal Authority you have and that’s where you have to be careful
1:32:47
because now you’re part of a team and so it changes to corporate Authority where
1:32:54
they are teams or an army that goes together and they are leaders of the
1:33:00
army and if they say to you don’t take these entities on your own please don’t
1:33:08
leave the group and go and fight against these entities now there was a group
1:33:14
that went to Ephesus in Greece and went to fight against the
1:33:20
goddess Artemis Diana that is spoken about in in the book of
1:33:27
of Ephesians where they cry they cried for two hours calling her name calling
1:33:33
her name Goddess Diana and then um these people went Peter Wagner and
1:33:39
there was a whole group that went to pray and there were some people that were that that came from from I mean people
1:33:47
came from all over the world to be part of this it was super exciting and there was a certain group they were
1:33:55
told don’t move out of the group please listen to what we say don’t tackle anything on your own
1:34:02
and they spelled out the Rules of Engagement where this guy thought well
1:34:09
he’s going to do it on his own he took his little group and off they go and they went and they
1:34:16
did their own thing on a mountain or whatever and got very badly hit very badly hit
1:34:24
one of the guys I know he actually died wow he actually died because he took on
1:34:31
stuff that he should not have taken on and the next thing we heard
1:34:36
um that he was taken out and and he had died so it’s serious you know it’s really really serious that we need to
1:34:44
know the rules of engagement and so um if we think about the Israelites when
1:34:49
they went to possess the promised land Canaan all tribes had to be represented all 12
1:34:55
tribes even manessa and Ephraim that were outside they were they were still
1:35:01
on the other side of the of the of the river they had to send Representatives because all 12 tribes had to be
1:35:09
represented when they went into to Canaan and so it’s a Biblical principle
1:35:15
that we need to be an army we need to be a army of unity praying together flowing
1:35:23
together um appreciating respecting each other respecting the leaders that God has
1:35:29
appointed so that we don’t get into trouble so it moves then from that inner
1:35:35
circle which is my personal Authority and power that God gives me to weigh out
1:35:40
when I go to battle it’s now a a corporate corporate Authority
1:35:47
and now I cannot do this on my own because I will get hit and I think I
1:35:52
think that would help to give people a picture to understand um not to move out of your area that God
1:36:00
has given you to battle and so in the center of the Family Circle
1:36:06
you have absolute authority over the ability to pray for your family the
1:36:11
destiny of your family members I’m repeating this comment for a reason because whenever I’ve taught it then
1:36:18
they say can I still pray for my children can I still pray for my husband yes sir I’m repeating it again yeah no I
1:36:25
think it’s smart I call it pile driving and I think it is um I think it’s necessary for the human brain and I
1:36:31
don’t know why yeah no I I do I agree and it’s good to use pictures and you
1:36:37
know all your five senses if you can absolutely drill it in you know so the ability to pray for your family you’ve
1:36:44
been given that’s within your circle that’s your that’s the close Circle um the destiny of your family members
1:36:51
the ability to make righteous decrees over your life the ability to lay hold of the promises of God for the blessings
1:36:58
the provisions that are our inheritance in Jesus all of these things you can
1:37:03
pray for because that is within your circle that’s your sphere
1:37:08
um and you have authority to pray and so God is ordained that we have a free will and freedom of choice the moment you are
1:37:16
born again you are entitled to rights Privileges and delegated authority not
1:37:22
all authority has been given to me I can do what I want no I and I must
1:37:29
understand how God’s Army works and so an entitlement that nobody can ever take
1:37:34
away from you God gives that to you within your family group and as you
1:37:40
operate in a larger circle of impact your Authority will be limited to your
1:37:45
experience and your anointing and then um remember the principle
1:37:54
your individual Authority diminishes the further you go out into the bigger
1:37:59
Circles of life and that is team that’s teams that’s the Army and uh
1:38:06
I I now realize that I can’t go and take strong men over cities and areas on my
1:38:13
own I need to be part of an army and so let’s walk in the authority that we have
1:38:20
in and through Jesus and so that’s the delegated authority
1:38:26
um that God gives us so it’s it’s so important to understand the Rules of Engagement
1:38:32
so common that’s it amen yay you are
1:38:37
ready to ask your questions okay so um I think coming back to what my
1:38:44
initial thing was um we really when you thought when you talk about being delegated
1:38:51
that is delegated through these levels right so I’ve been able to successfully
1:38:57
pray over my family and I’ve been able to work with God and you know my
1:39:03
anointment there and then and I’m I’m like now going to a church or or you know a Ministry or a city and and so
1:39:12
when somebody just goes hey I’m gonna go pray over this territory or that territory that
1:39:20
would be somebody more like Dr Laura Sanger who she’s done the map she’s got people she’s you know she’s really done
1:39:28
the work in order to be there is that correct that’s right okay okay so it
1:39:34
takes time you know it’s that training the training that David and and Samson show us it takes time to train and and
1:39:42
you need to win some battles you need to because the if if you lose the battle
1:39:47
you’re going to go around the mountain again [Laughter]
1:39:54
that makes complete sense you move to the next level yeah yeah and so so when
1:40:02
when somebody has their child who’s friends with somebody who they’re pretty
1:40:07
sure that that friend of theirs is into witchcraft or or just doing things that
1:40:14
you know I don’t know Moon science is or something that people
1:40:19
think is really innocent um what advice would you have for a mother that’s in that situation
1:40:27
I think it’s important that she gets knowledge that she equips herself you
1:40:33
know because it’s it’s when I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t understand what is going on that uh that I feel
1:40:39
helpless and and um I will then react in a wrong way and I’m gonna lose my
1:40:45
child um it is so important that I realize
1:40:51
that it’s all about relationship and it’s it’s about keeping the heart and winning back the heart of my child if my
1:40:58
child is into funny stuff into the occult um I need to find out why did she go
1:41:05
there what was the open door what is the legal right that took her there is it
1:41:10
bloodline is it stuff on my bloodline that has opened the door now my child’s been sucked into this
1:41:17
um and and so I equip myself and I start doing Warfare as a mother I stand in the
1:41:24
gap and I repent and I ask forgiveness job every day he would repent for the
1:41:31
sins of his children and he would bring it before God and so
1:41:36
it is so interesting you know if you if you look at his life and how he fought for his children for his family
1:41:43
and so um yeah as a mother I would definitely and and it’s important to
1:41:50
pull that in as well if if there is a dad you know that’s still alive and that is willing uh you know maybe they’re
1:41:57
separated or whatever but if Dad’s still around to pull dad on board as well and
1:42:03
but the whole thing is common when you have problems with your children
1:42:08
to keep their heart to fight for their heart not to
1:42:15
fight them because of what they’re doing because of the occult you’re going to lose your child
1:42:20
but to to keep their heart to fight the spirit behind who’s causing this
1:42:27
to learn to battle to learn or how do I fight this thing I’m helpless I need to be trained help
1:42:35
me I need to save my child I’ve got to get my child out of the clutches of the evil one and then stand in the gap for
1:42:42
the bloodline and get those doors shut you know so so you’re just going into a
1:42:49
very well thought out battle plan and strategy to fight for you for your
1:42:55
children okay that’s so good um and then the other question I was
1:43:00
um going to ask you is it something that somebody asked uh here and they said
1:43:05
Carmen question for Amanda are survivors permitted to still pray for their family husbands children or other family
1:43:12
members who are also actively you know SRA yeah definitely because
1:43:20
um they have a part that’s born again that belongs to the Lord and and that is the part that is the anchor that is
1:43:27
where you you you are uh washed in the blood of the lamb and yes
1:43:33
um you know how you are the one that really knows how to battle so yeah don’t
1:43:38
hold back don’t hold back okay and then
1:43:43
um uh where was it oh I know have you ever been in a situation where you are
1:43:52
um you know there to minister there to do stuff and you came across something
1:43:57
and you were like God just said no no no no don’t go there with a particular
1:44:02
person yeah okay definitely yeah that’s got to
1:44:07
be such a helpless feeling but I get it I get it it’s it’s it’s his power not
1:44:13
your power and you don’t get to decide yeah and it’s hard for me because I have such a heart of mercy and I want to help
1:44:20
everybody yeah and it’s it’s uh you know I can’t stand to see somebody suffering
1:44:26
um but I really have to listen you know if what God is saying and also
1:44:32
um you know if you yeah it sometimes you get into trouble because because of your
1:44:37
gift and your heart of mercy and you and that overrules are you listening to God
1:44:43
so that is number one is your relationship with God that you listen
1:44:48
and do what he tells you because then you’ll be safe okay I also had somebody
1:44:53
asking in here about what your opinions are on meds and if they block our
1:45:01
connection to God yeah they would be mates that do
1:45:07
yes because if um if you if if your brain is all messed
1:45:13
up and I mean you know whenever we work with someone and they need to go on to
1:45:19
meds then we’re very careful to find a Christian psychiatrist that will give
1:45:25
something that’s safe and that would be able to get them off again because it’s
1:45:30
so quick that you become addictive and then also get support in the natural
1:45:36
way you know to get eat healthy because if you’ve come out of serious trauma
1:45:42
um your body’s messed up your your gut is messed up and yeah you you eat junk
1:45:48
food and and so you you’ve just exposed yourself to well it’s happened to you
1:45:54
you know in your life and you need help to build your strengths
1:46:00
um but in in the beginning we don’t see anything wrong with meds right um but of
1:46:06
course controlled and under the covering of the Holy Spirit sure sure and I think
1:46:12
this woman was talking about pain medication in particular but um I just I
1:46:18
I go back to the pharmacia the word and you know what its roots are and
1:46:24
um what suggestions would you be would you have for somebody that feels like they’re stuck and they can’t
1:46:31
um they can’t beat this medicine and that they feel that they might have to go to a hospital or something if they
1:46:38
were to to stop taking them um is there any advice that you have in
1:46:44
the spiritual for them well I I think it’s very important that they
1:46:51
get a lot of support common because it is hard it is pretty hard and we can’t
1:46:57
judge you know we are The Lost Ones to throw stones and and and judge and so um
1:47:03
if they can just get the right support um also prayer wise
1:47:08
um you know so that they are that that God’s power is there um but I mean it’s a physical thing
1:47:15
addiction is is you know with with the pain and with the meds that they feel
1:47:21
that it they they they are so I mean that’s what that’s what the drug is is
1:47:26
you get so dependent on it that you feel you’re gonna die if you don’t use it and
1:47:32
it’s also it’s be in your Lifeline it’s been your anchor it’s been that which
1:47:38
you’ve held on to um and sure we we know we’ve got to hold
1:47:43
on to God but but this has been real life and it’s been hard and so um my
1:47:49
heart just goes so out um to these people it is very very
1:47:54
difficult and they they fall back into their old ways very quickly
1:48:00
um but if if they can just have support and if they do need to get some sort of
1:48:06
a you know some person living with them that can just push them through that very serious time right because lonely
1:48:14
War common it’s so lonely you know this this world of pain and meds and and you
1:48:20
get locked in you get locked into this world um of you rather Escape because it’s
1:48:28
it’s in that world where you don’t feel sure you don’t face you know so you’re
1:48:35
really gonna need support yeah so that’s a great answer lots of prey yeah that’s a great answer and it
1:48:42
is one of those things I I believe there’s three there’s three main places where people struggle uh relationships
1:48:50
finances and health and I do believe that health is the most difficult
1:48:55
um just me personally you know I’ve experienced problems and all all three of them but
1:49:01
um you know my heart same goes out to people in that situation and and then
1:49:06
two they get tired of relying on other people too which also makes it really difficult um yeah but I do believe that’s what
1:49:13
we’re here for and if if people are to listen closely to what God’s saying I
1:49:18
think that they’ll find that they’re supposed to help more and keep their mouth shut more often and I need to
1:49:23
learn that first you know my little social media my little social
1:49:29
media mouth um can we close in prayer yes yes sure
1:49:35

we’ve been tied into a prison of some sort where Satan has been
1:52:43
punishing us we didn’t even know we didn’t understand how it works
1:52:48
how how could it happen and we felt maybe we even judged you
1:52:53
Lord maybe we we were angry with you because we were
1:52:59
saying where were you why didn’t you protect us why did you allow this to happen to us
1:53:05

1:53:12

1:55:45
okay Canaan Ministries dot org and
1:55:51
and also Kanan at iafrica.com is the email and so you are welcome to go onto our
1:55:59
website um and download there’s so much materially so when when we talk about
1:56:07
the disembodied Spirits again and and and when we go into that uh ah we we
1:56:13
just saw miracles happen in Germany absolutely amazing stuff yeah we can’t
1:56:20
wait to hear I can’t wait to hear about that and so um look forward to having you back as
1:56:25
always and they also I just want to remind people that you know we can disciple under Christ
1:56:33
eternally he’s always available and we have the word and if we sit in it
1:56:39
and I mean really sit with it he he will minister to you in the way
1:56:46
that you request but I think too few people actually they think it’s too hard
1:56:51
of work but actually it’s really fun once you get started it’s kind of like something we procrastinate from I don’t
1:56:58
know why but then when we finally do it it’s so much fun and you can just get lost in it and and you just get more and
1:57:04
more hungry for for time alone with him and so I really encourage people to remember that Christ is eternally with
1:57:12
them I hope everybody has a great weekend and thank you again Amanda we
1:57:18
