Coming up next on changing your world. What is it that you’ve always feared?
What is it that you’ve always dreaded? Are you walking in fear right now?
Is there fear in your life something that you are afraid that’s gonna happen.
And I am saying get rid of that because that’s the platform that the enemy operates in your life.
If he can discover in your life, where there is fear that is an open door for him to show up in your life.

At a place.
To say today.
Some people love taking on other people’s drama.
And you guys you ain’t got nothing to do.
So you just get on the phone to take care of your body?
Stop it.
That’s not what God ought to do.
If you find that there’s a tremendous amount of stress, your doctor tells you about stress, If you find there’s a tremendous amount of stress, just always you’re just you’re leaving you’re just living a life full of stress.
Satan’s trying to that’s a battle.
And from that stress, he wants to see if he can manifest some stuff in your body, like inflammation.
Wants to see if he
can knock you off by eventually, you’re having a heart attack. Just your high blood pressure, 200, over a 100.
And then you you you’re getting on your faith time.
My lord helped me. Like, you mean that sermon, uh, your pastor preacher?
Well, that didn’t have enough revelation in it for me.
Number 3. Here’s another sign. Temptation.
Temptation.
First Corinthians chapter 10 verses 12 through 14 in the NLT.
Temptation is pressure applied to your flesh.
In other words, Satan always appeals to our desires. Pressure apply to your thinking.
That’s what your flesh is all about. Your thinking. Not pressure applied to your body necessarily.
But pressure applied to your thinking.
What kind of pressure is constantly being applied to your thinking?
Why won’t the enemy leave that alone? Why is this thought continuing to come?
Why is this pressure continuing to come?
Because he sees an opportunity to take you down, but hopefully, you’re gonna yield eventually to the pressure that’s applied to your thinking.
They’ve had a meeting on you.
They’ve been discussing that They really desire this thing, and they think they can keep it away and fight it off.
Let’s put some pressure to it. Surely we can get them to fall into that.
And when they fall, then we can kill them with, with the guilt and the condemnation and they ain’t gonna be no good to be used by god.
No more. This is how these spirits are talking about you.
First Corinthians chapter 12, and verse 4 2 through 14, he says, if you think you are standing strong,
He said, be careful not to fall.
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience.
And god is faithful.
He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand.
You need to know that. You need to know that while you’re standing and there’s temptation coming, you need to know if it’s still coming.
God’s been bragging on you because he said there’s never gonna be a temptation to come at you that you can’t stand.
But if you should get to a point where it gets so bad, you by the fall, he says I’ll provide a way for you to escape it.
He said he will show you a way out so that you can endure it.
That’s the truth you need to know. That’s the truth you need to put on.
Don’t let any wicked spirit convince you that this temptation is gonna defeat you.
You just
say, okay. Depress your own today. But thanks be to god.
That god will not allow me to be tempted above my ability to handle it,
bring it on, Deborah,
because I know you can only bring so much on. Hallelujah. You can only go so far.
Because of the god that I serve, you need to know that.
They are they are betting that you don’t know that. They’re hoping you don’t know that.
Your enemies are totally against truth.
They want you to wrap yourself up into a bunch of religion. So eventually, Eventually,
they can get you to
a point where they can whisper to your, to your, your, your, your, your, your, your mind.
Kill yourself. Kill yourself. Don’t nobody love you. Where they at?
Don’t nobody care done for you. Jump off the building. Life is overrated.
Ain’t no heaven to hell.
You ain’t gotta worry about none. You’re just gonna go to sleep and seek to cease to exist.
Kay yourself. Beautiful people just go and kill themselves. And we sit back
to my, what happened? What was wrong? There’s a devil loose
That’s a demonic influence.
And and because you don’t believe in demonic influence.
They’re having a field day.
And there’s some there’s some in here this morning.
Who have heard that voice, kill yourself. That’s demonic.
And you have authority over the demonic realm.
But if you don’t know it’ll take you out.
But if you know, it’ll almost become laughable.
Key yourself. Why, please? Been killing myself.
I’m just having a bad day.
I’m finna go to bed and get up. It’ll be alright. Well, wait for the next 8 bat.
I’m a go to bed again and get up. It’ll be alright.
Well, for the next 8 bat, I’m a go meet some popcorn and peanut M and M’s.
They’re gonna be alright. But what I’m not gonna do is knock myself off because greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.
And then you start preaching to that spirit and you command that thing.
Get away from me right now in the name of Jesus. My god will take care of me.
Don’t you just sit up there and just Just sit up in.
Just let him. Just talk you. And you did.
And here’s the thing that convinced me.
You did. And you all
your life, you know, read, uh,
of, of, god saying my good and faithful servant. Well done, enter into the joy of the lord.
But one day, I saw it differently and heard it differently.
My good and faithless servant, job incomplete, What are you doing here?
You quit on your assignment. That ain’t how I wanna meet God.
And, yeah, thank God for his grace. Thank God for his mercy, but I wanna finish my assignment.
I wanna accomplish what I was put here to accomplish.
Come hell of high water.
Wanna be able to celebrate that and enter the thing that all hell thought it could stop the body of Christ, but the body of Christ stood strong.
They wouldn’t quit, they wouldn’t give up, they wouldn’t cave in, they stood, and haven’t done all they can do to stand, they continue to stand, and stand and stand and stand and the devil cannot deal with people who won’t sit down.
If you just keep standing, you just keep standing. I’m not gonna quit. I’m not gonna give up.
I’m not gonna turn in fear. I’m not gonna let you win.
I might have to cry, but I’m not gonna quit.
I might curl up in a 24 minute, but I’m not gonna quit.
I might have a headache, but I’m not gonna quit.
I’m gonna keep going back to God over and over again. I will not quit this too shall pass.
Be careful that you don’t submit yourself to self pity.
Oh, I know what that’s like.
Oh, more there are times in my life where
I thought I had a right to pity me
Since nobody else would pity me, nobody know the trouble.
I see, lying on
the wizard above. Nobody know.
Be careful of that
sneaky spirit of self pity.
Because if you let that thing get on you, the cousin of depression
and loneliness
and inferiority
all shows up at one time.
When I was working at the hospital, there was this guy back then.
We dealt more with psychosis versus being bipolar.
And this point didn’t have no chance. Not done.
Not none. I I knew in my spirit, if something don’t happen, he gonna be there by tomorrow morning.
And I pulled them in.
And I said, uh, I know how to help you.
It’s up to you if you wanna receive in it.
He said, uh, there’s something in me that won’t let me do.
And I need to do yeah, I know him too. I can help you.
Led him to the lord, and he prayed in prayeral salvation.
And just simple as that, he said, I feel like some left me.
What’s this? Then I knew once you cast it out, you gotta get in fear because something’s So I said, now we need to we need to occupy that space.
I didn’t tell him none about no tongues. I didn’t tell him none.
I just said, I’m afraid that you’d be filled the Holy Ocean. You received it.
He prayed, filled the holy ghost. I laid hands on him. He said, woo.
Woo! What just happened?
Every day, he got better and better and better.
And he told the doctors, he said, I’m healed.
Medical director called me, and he said, come in. How do we need to talk?
Why is he going around saying he healed? And I told him what happened?
He said, well, I’m glad you did it, but you can’t do stuff like that here.
Later on, he was discharged?
Because I knew there was a wicked spirit tormenting him.
And you just don’t hit his you don’t hit his talk insurance no more.
I mean, you know, the the the the the the decong board to get together, not ours, and they’ll talk.
We we we can’t hear that.
You’re talking about spritz. And you got one. You know?
And and please don’t misunderstand me. Not everything is a spirit. Not everything is a demon.
But some things are.
And Christian people ought to be able to make the distinction between when it is and when it’s not.
Some things are just you.
You just full of drama. You just hard headed. You extra. It’s just you.
And you ain’t trying to change for nobody.
But some things you gotta recognize, there are even some
there are even some wicked spirits that are behind sickness and disease.
Not every, not every sickness and disease, carriage edema, but some of them do.
And you have to recognize
the devils shouldn’t know you.
You remember when, uh, the the, what, 7 sons of Cuba?
And they tried to cast this cast these spirits out And they went up there and said, we cast you out in the name of in the name of Paul.
And they were like, Nah.
Paul, we know.
And Jesus, we shown up, no.
But what’s your name, And the Bible says they jumped on them, stripped them of their clothes, and ran them out.
If I cannot bring you to the 5th to this this reality that these things exist, You will continue to be subject to deception
while they continue to reap havoc in your life.
Number 4. Fear.
Now this is interesting.
Satan needs fear in order to operate in our lives.
Satan needs fear.
Fear to Satan is like faith to Jesus.
Like god needs faith to allow certain things to to come into our lives, Satan needs fear.
You remember Job?
I believe it was 3 25. Job said go there.
Uh, Job said the thing I feared the most has, has come upon me.
Look at that in NLT. He says, what I always fear has happened to me
What I dread it has come true. What is it that you’ve always feared?
What is it that you’ve always dreaded? Are you walking in fear right now?
Is there fear in your life something that you are afraid that’s gonna happen?
And I am saying get rid of that because that’s the play form that the enemy operates in your life, if he can discover in your life where there is fear that is an open door for him to show up in your life.
You must not fear. You must not tolerate fear. You must not tolerate fear.
If you tolerate fear, you’re gonna contaminate faith.
That’s right.
You must not do it. You must cast it down. You must cast it out.
You must you must recognize it when it shows up. Fear cannot be tolerated.
And the number one fear that Christian people have is the fear that what god promised won’t come to pass.
You’re afraid that with this stretch you are healed
is not gonna come to pass.
You are afraid that the promise that god loves you
won’t come to pass. And so that’s the greatest fear that you can have.
I’m afraid that this word is not true.
I’m afraid that that this scripture
won’t happen to me. It’ll happen to everybody else, but it
won’t happen to me. I’m afraid that grace is too good to be true.
And Satan hops right on that fear, like a wave, and he rides it to your destruction, escorting you to your destruction.
You cannot be afraid. You cannot be afraid.
When I saw those tumors in my body, Yeah.
It was it was paralyzing. Woah.
Because I really wouldn’t then think it was like that. Like, woah.
Heart start being Will Creek, and I’m real I’m realizing, uh-oh. There’s fear.
I gotta get it. I gotta get it. I gotta get it.
I gotta work on this. I gotta work on this. The way I worked on it
is, let me go see what the word says. Let me go see what says.
Let me go see what the word says.
And then the peace of god began to come.
Let me go see what the word says, and a peace god began to come.
And we’ll go see the word in the peace of god.
And then the day came, I had no idea. I was gonna be under for a 4 hour operation.
One of the reasons that took place is because of my body, even though I was under anesthesia, my my insides were still vibrating.
They wouldn’t stop moving, so they had to call everything still.
Cause in this operation, you could not make one bad move, or it messed up everything.
And I thought, well, Is he gonna give me too much anesthesia?
Is something gonna go wrong?
Is this the last time I’m gonna see my wife? I’m looking at her real good.
And I’m like, that’s fear.
I gotta get rid of that.
And so I just started going and rolling, rolling my eyes again, rolling, o just rolling in my head, rolling in my head.
All is well. I will live and complete the, the work of the lord. All is well. All is perfect.
The hand of god is on the hands of this guy.
The hand of god is on the hand of the equipment.
The hand of god is on the hand of everything. All is well. All is well. All is well.
God is good. God is good. You appreciate tongues then because you
you when you’re fighting fear, you you it’s hard to come up with something to say in English.
And it’s good to have some tongues. You just keep praying until the peace
of god comes over your life. What are you afraid of?
You’re afraid you’re gonna lose your job? You’re afraid you’re gonna lose everything you got?
What are you afraid of? Afraid your wife gonna cheat on you? Your husband’s gonna cheat on?
What are you afraid of? You’re afraid your kid’s gonna die somebody gonna shoot him? What are you afraid of?
Get rid of that fear. Let today be the last day you carry that fear.
Let’s look at number 5 real quick.
I got about 5 more minutes ago. Despair.
If you cease despair, that’s a sign of an attack. Despair.
Dispar is the absence of hope.
What does the spare look like? The spare looks like.
Depression and hopelessness. Let let me show you what Paul wrote that he went through.
Look at 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 versus 8 through 9 in the, in the NLT.
Look at what Paul went through. This was an attack to try to steal hope.
Paul said we are pressed on every side by troubles.
Think of that. By troubles on every side. I don’t think people recognize what comes
I knew what was gonna come.
I just didn’t know it was gonna be.
Like it was, and is, but something’s happened.
I’m, uh, the stuff that happened before
runs into a different creflo dollar today. Let me show you what Paul went through.
I’m pressed on every side by troubles. But we are not crushed.
We are perplexed, but not driven to despair.
We are hunted down, but never abandoned by god.
What was he using to fight this attack with? What do you knew about his father?
We get knocked down. How many get knocked down? Alright. The rest of you, we’ll cast that
line devil’s in a moment.
We get knocked down, but we’re not destroyed. Look at the guy’s attitude here.
Alrighty god.
Through sufferings, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our
bodies
