DESCRIPTION

In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of not being
swayed by the crowd and instead focusing on God. He highlights the power
of the weapons mentioned in Ephesians 6 to overcome strongholds and
imaginations that go against the word of God. The preacher warns against
allowing negative thoughts to take root in the heart, as they can lead
to destructive words and actions. He also addresses the issue of
idolizing spiritual gifts and the fear that can arise from witnessing
their misuse. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to stay true
to the word of God and remain holy, even in the midst of spiritual
warfare.

CONTENT

You've got one set of people that made an idol out of tongues. And the
powers of darkness use them to go scare the death of everybody else
about gifts. And then you have another set that's watching the devil use
some people and they won't have anything to do with spiritual gifts,
scare the death of them.

But see, that's another thing. I don't want to have anything to do with
it because I've watched some folks over here abuse it. I'd rather die
than be healed because I've watched some folks on television making
money and merchandising it.

Now, you hear what I'm saying? So I don't have anything to do with that
part of the Bible because I've done watching folks merchandising it.
Devils are all over the place. There's more devils now than anything
else.

The Lord said they're just going to be a few. He talked about holiness.
He said, I'm not one because you're many.

You're not going to be many. It's going to be a few. Crowds don't run to
God.

Crowds go to the devil. Are you hearing what I'm saying? I hope it's
getting past your head up here. I hope it's getting down in your flesh.

So here's what he said. We no longer war at the flesh, but your weapons
that we have on Ephesians 6 are mighty in God to turn down strongholds
and fortresses. And I'm seeing them right here all over this building
right now, people, right now, fortresses and strongholds.

Your weapons are mighty in God to turn down strongholds. Casting down
imaginations and every thought right here that comes in your mind and
exalts itself against the Word of God. Your weapons are mighty in God.

You don't have to receive them. When you stomp them up here in your
mind, they don't get down in your heart. If you let them get down in
your heart, it's going to come out of your mouth.

It's going to break God's law. And that's the opposite of fear and fire
in your heart. There's been a war going on.

The church hasn't showed up for it.
