THE DEADLY ERROR MANY BELIEVERS MAKE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE 🔥 DR DAVID OGBUELI

Brief Summary

This video discusses the dangers associated with spiritual warfare, emphasising the need for proper understanding and application of authority in prayer. Numerous real-life examples illustrate the consequences of overstepping boundaries in spiritual matters, especially in terms of engaging with higher levels of spiritual warfare that are outside an individual’s God-given dominion.

  • Many individuals and churches have suffered severe consequences from improper spiritual warfare.
  • The structure of the heavens is explained, detailing the first, second, and third heavens and where believers should focus their authority.

The Dangers of Spiritual Warfare

In this chapter, the speaker shares personal experiences and cases of spiritual warfare leading to losses, including lives, marriages, and church congregations. Emphasising the severity of the issue, he discusses how many lives have been "burnt" due to a lack of understanding in spiritual practices, particularly in spiritual warfare.

Understanding Heaven's Structure

The speaker outlines the concept of the three heavens: the first heaven is where humans reside, the second heaven where fallen angels dwell, and the third heaven as God's abode. He stresses that believers should operate within the first heaven, as that is where their authority lies. The importance of understanding these spiritual realms is highlighted to prevent overstepping boundaries during prayer.

Authority in Spiritual Warfare

This section reiterates the dominion believers have over the earth and the importance of focusing on earthly concerns rather than attempting to bind forces in the second heaven. The speaker cites biblical references, warning against engaging in spiritual battles beyond one’s authority and reinforcing that true spiritual warfare should focus on issues present in the first heaven.

Consequences of Misguided Warfare

The speaker shares personal anecdotes where engaging in second heaven warfare resulted in disastrous outcomes, including fatalities in his own circle. Such experiences illustrate that failure to respect divine order and authority can bring harm not only to oneself but also to loved ones and the community.

Experiences and Lessons

He recounts multiple instances of difficulties faced by him and others when they operated outside their jurisdiction in spiritual matters, calling attention to necessary precautions such as recognizing proper authority and seeking God’s will before engaging in spiritual warfare.

The Right Approach to Prayer

In this chapter, it is discussed how spiritual warfare should not lead to confusion and division, but instead focus on prayer for growth and peace. The speaker advocates for repentance as a means of spiritual preparation before engaging in any form of warfare.

Maintaining Order in Spiritual Authority

The speaker emphasizes the necessity of proper order and submission within the family unit and church structure for effective engagement in spiritual matters. It covers how rebellion and disunity can create openings for spiritual attacks, ultimately leading to chaos and destruction.

Building a Foundation of Authority

This section reinforces the need for pastors and leaders to establish a strong foundation of spiritual authority and understanding of the boundaries of their dominion. The speaker urges leaders to teach their congregations about their authority within the right context to prevent casualties from misguided spiritual practices.

The Call for Repentance and Humility

The importance of humility and repentance before God is underlined as crucial steps before engaging in prayer or spiritual warfare. The speaker explores how collective repentance can shift the spiritual atmosphere and lead to healing within the community.

Conclusion: Safe Spiritual Practices

The video concludes with a call to action for pastors and believers to be mindful of their practices in spiritual warfare. It encourages a focus on proper teachings and humility before God, with a reminder that believers are called to operate within the parameters set by God for their safety and effectiveness in ministry.

0:00 I have been burnt by it. I have seen people lose their lives over this issue. I've seen marriages crash. I've seen churches ruined by this. This thing is so important because I've seen it ruin a lot of lives. Ministers ruin families, ruin all that. It has to do with spiritual warfare. There's a mistake. An error. A song how you know whenever a new revelation and understanding comes initially we like children trying to walk we make our mistakes and learn. The only thing is that this one a lot of lives have been burnt. A lot of casualties if I tell you. So wisdom of God is coming and understanding is coming through through this balance in this thing. You make sure you don't miss this. You might be

0:46 the next casualty. So I want to see you finish your assignment well. I want to see your family well. I want to see your ministry well. Has it not bothered you that some people will go engage in spiritual warfare over an extended period of time like 30 days when they finish church drops to half? Warfare is supposed to help you grow church. Then what is this type? Has it not bothered you that there are some when they finish that crisis erupts in their leadership team and the place scatters. He I'm glad he's part of the intercessors for Africa. You can see that all those leaders that started they are not in talking terms. What is the issue? Let me look at three

1:31 components of this area that's causing problem. Because to move in a revival we have to have prayer. We have to have prayer. So we better know how to do it right. >> [music] >> Like some of us that have been groomed in spiritual warfare, the structure of the heaven is this way. >> [music] >> First heaven. Second heaven. And third heaven. That's how the heavens are structured. And then each of them has a way they're also divided, but I'm not bothering about that. This is how the heavens are structured. Okay. Now, third heaven is where God [music] lives. Please show them Psalm 115:16. The heaven the heavens is the Lord's. The earth he has given to the sons of men. First heaven is where man lives.

2:17 Third heaven is for angels, especially fallen angels. That's where their abode is. Second [music] heaven. I said third heaven is where God is. First heaven is where man lives. Second heaven is where fallen angels live. The heaven No, just 16 is enough. The heaven the heavens The heaven even the heavens plural are the Lord's. But the earth he has what? Given to the sons of So, I'm going to circle first heaven. That's where your dominion is. That's where your authority is. That's where your influence is. What do you mean by [music] first heaven? This atmosphere is part of it. It continues to where the birds are flying. Continues to where the aircrafts

3:02 are flying. Where is the boundary? When you keep going and you get to a point you don't feel gravity. You enter weightlessness. You've crossed the boundary. If you start going up and you get to a point no more oxygen, you know the the boundary of the earth is up. Anything after that you are entering second heaven in space. Is somebody hearing what I'm saying? What is the problem? There are people who will not who are not satisfied with binding all the demons within the first heaven, the earth, and all that. They want to go and bind the one in the second [music] heaven. And when they finish, the wife that's pregnant has forced abortion. The car tumbles. They break their necks and die. Of course, a friend of mine just finished 30 days spiritual warfare like that. And they were not just dealing

3:47 with what Jesus asked us to do. He asked us to bind on earth, God will bind in the heavens. War in this place is for Michael and the other angels. It's not your job. But people are teaching God's people to take warfare here. Meanwhile, God said it's earth. Look at great commission. Go and make disciples of what? Not make disciples of second heaven. Leave Mars and Pluto and Jupiter alone. Let angel Michael and his other war take care of it. Bind what is on earth and God will bind what is in the heavenlies. Whatever you bind on earth shall be what? Bound in heaven. Didn't say whatever you bind in heaven. So, when I discuss this, some people think I'm trying to curtail our authority. No. No.

4:35 I'm trying to keep you from harm. Because there were angels here, this is their estate. They were fallen. They like Lucifer who used to operate even in the third heaven. They fell, but they are allowed to be here. Hey, oh Jesus. How am I getting myself into this when I can't even do a good job of it? Okay, Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12. Look at We don't fight against flesh and blood, but we fight against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and what? Spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies. That fourth class of powers that exist in the heavenly places here. It's the angels that deal with them.

5:22 That's why I've been trying to avoid it and I'm using this structure to deal with what you can easily handle. [music] Cuz I know when many of us leave. Second heaven warfare has caused a lot of casualties in the church. One of the first thing I noticed that happened to me is that some of them after they engage in it to a level, especially if they don't know how to get themselves protected, They fall into deception. Then some have suffered physical I have seen all sorts of things. A friend of mine just finished one now, 30 days. When he finished, he buried seven people, including two pastors, and they were buried side by side. Cuz a force took their car that wasn't even flew it in the air flew it and threw them broke windows that were road AC

6:09 threw them out of the car even with their threw them out broke them and they died. The moment he called me, "What is happening? Why did this happen to us?" I said, "What did your church just finish doing?" He said, "We just finished strategic level second heaven warfare." I said to him, "Yes." I said, "Because look at what God did." You know God put boundaries. For example, look at in sexuality. Man is not supposed to be marrying animals. Some people are breaking that boundary. It has consequences. People are not supposed to marry fellow men. God also put boundaries here. The angels that did not keep their first estate, they are kept here. They came down to this realm married our women. You know what God did? The rest of the fallen angels are allowed to be here till the final day. Those ones that left their first estate came during the time of Noah messed with women. He tied all of them in chains, sent them ahead of time to Catarus.

6:56 Because there are order that God established. You learn that it's a man that lives here. For example, let's take another one. You remember when Lucifer wanted to invade the third heaven to even sit in the seat in the side of the north where God sit to establish a throne there. What happened? He was thrown down. Now man is given dominion over here. Okay. Pastor David, how do you know that our dominion is here? Let me show you the original blueprint for dominion [music] that God wrote. Genesis 1:26. That's where he made man. He said, "Let us make man in our image after our likeness [music] and let them what? Have dominion." And he stated where their dominion will be, over the fish of the sea, the over the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and over the cattles, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth on the earth. Because the structure of the

7:41 first heaven, first heaven structure is land, water, and sky. That's the structure of the first heaven. And that's where our dominion ends. Any demon that ventures into the earth, you can bind it. Let him come from water, you can bind it. Let it fly in the air, you can bind it. But if you leave this domain, >> [music] >> and I'll venture into space, you're looking for trouble. While you are in your strength, doing all that, you can do it. What is going to happen is that they will look for any opening around you. You have pastors that are not properly covered, or your wife or children, and have folks who follow.

8:26 Some of you have been bitten by what I'm talking about. If they look and it's whatever, they can start a confusion in the church, church breaks into two. There are demonically inspired activities. And there's a level of warfare you stir, you don't have enough strength to cope with it. I'm telling you, I've dealt with over 200 issues bordering on pastors and churches. And usually, I can trace it. This our authority that we use, we can control evil spirits. There are demons [music] on earth, demons in the water, demons in the air, that affect life here.

9:13 You have right to control them. Ephesians 2. Verse 1 and 2. You has even a life you were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of what? The power of the air. The spirit that now works what? In the children of disobedience. So, if you want to reach these people that are unsaved, the children of disobedience, unbelievers, the man we need to take care of is the prince of what? The power of the air. He flies where the birds fly, where the aircraft fly. Equal first heaven is within our dominion. [music] Everybody say, "Air." Do you know how you know you have left the air domain? Is that oxygen disappears. Even pilots, they are trained when they

9:58 fly so high and get to a point they get to a point where oxygen does not exist. Pilots goes into hysteria and some even lose sleep off. And the plane will just be tumbling and be falling. Some of them, as they fall back into the air atmosphere, and there's enough oxygen, some wake up and they're able to successfully land. Some are not able to wake up, they crash [music] the plane. That's why there's a limit to how far passenger planes can go. There's a limit to how far other planes can go. The >> [music] >> event this order is space shuttle that can go beyond going to space are giving liquid oxygen. They're giving oxygen. Cuz there's no air there. And when you cross where I'm talking about is also no gravity. You know, angels don't need gravity. They [music] float. They fly. Man needs gravity because we don't have wings.

10:49 Some of them are looking at me. Go and study the ministry of Jesus from beginning to end and see if there's any day he bound second level. The engagement. Go and check. You'll find what? Call me and tell me that thing you taught us is wrong. I think we can do anything he did and greater works. Go and check the apostles from the beginning to the end. >> [music] >> Acts of Apostle down to the book of Revelation. Any day they engage in this, you won't see it once. Can I go one step further? Go and check all the prophets from Adam to Malachi. It might puncture the ego of a few of us, Pentecostals, who are exercising authorities we don't have.

11:35 I'm paying for it, too. Finish, your marriage breaks up. I went in zeal, first time. I wanted us to take a new book. And we're not more than 400 people. So, I wanted that church to grow and [music] and it took me, I think it's 21 days. And every morning I wake up, I'll go around use my leg to go around. And as I'm going, "Princes of you must come down. We bind you." And when I finish, I return back. My daughter is paralyzed from neck down. Every appliance in my house caught fire and burned. TV, [music] fridge, whatever. My wife is asking me, "What is going on?" Even there was even an atmosphere. "What's going on?" I said, "Don't worry, I know what it is." >> [music] >> But I also understand grace. I understand the cross.

12:20 So, I also dealt with those things. But at least I lost my appliances, but I got my daughter back. God had body working again. Paralyzed. By the third day, we're able to free her from that. But I have noticed a lot of pastors who might not be able to reverse these effects. One time again, I decided because I'm following what they are teaching, certain people are teaching. And I'm always asking, "If you truly can pull this down, about will be a heaven by now." Because by the time he gave that city the highest amount of attention, you can't They still have time to be here. They still have right to be here. But their time is winding up. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Michael has one assignment, Revelation 12, where he's going to flush them out. They won't be

13:06 here. They'll be brought down to where human beings live. And in those [music] days, this earth where you live will be terrible. I know when people read Revelation 12, they think it's the original fall of Lucifer. It's not. It's one that is coming. When you read it, read Daniel 12. [music] They are saying the same thing. It's one that will coincide with the Jacob's trouble. Terrible season that Israel will go through and uncle inside when you return of Christ. All the fallen angels are not on earth. That's what I'm trying to tell you. They are group of demons that there is a structure. He He's own was even worse. He will go to rivers. Deal with rivers. Go deal with heavens. Deal with all sorts of things. And after dealing with it, confusion will be worse. That church will refuse to grow. The people that had come will leave.

14:03 How long have you been doing spiritual warfare? >> It's It's more than 20 years. >> How big is your church? >> We are not more than 30. >> Did you hear that? How many years have you been in the ministry? >> About full pastor about 16 years. >> 16 years pastor, 30 members. He's not in the mission field where >> No, I say city. Abuja. >> I don't want to ask him. He has touched If you see the number of people he has touched, but they don't have more than 100 people there left. >> [music] >> If you see the number of people he has touched, but they don't have more than 100 people there left. Now, you've seen me fill the largest stadium, fill whatever, go to even

14:49 Islamic territory, do the same thing. So, it's either I know what I'm talking about and he's saying I'm talking And I'm part of intercessors for Africa, so we're all praying in this. After you're had enough experience, maybe with a little scar, you will come to listen to this tape. There's one I went I engaged in. When I finished the 40 days with fasting >> I had a crusade. I went there and then his elder brother just kicked him. He hit his mouth on a pavement and almost gave up.

15:34 I had a crusade. >> So people are wondering, is it that the blood of Jesus does not protect? IS CHRISTIANITY FAILING? NO, WE ARE BREAKING BOUNDARIES. HUH? SO YOU WENT INTO WARFARE, TOO? >> YEAH, I did 14 days night vigil. My wife almost died. She was paralyzed. >> We are not saying night vigil is wrong, though. I hope you know what I'm talking about. We're not saying bind demons. They are lawless. Jesus had defeated them and we church has authority over them. But he said the earth, go and make disciples of the earth. Not leave heaven for God. The heavens belong to the Lord. IF YOU TAKE CARE of what is in your territory, God will take care of what is there. Well, let me not ask a question

16:21 because some people ask me this. Yes, yes, sir. Come on, come on, talk, please. >> Sir, I want to I want to thank you for coming into this dimension. This is the reason why you came here. I think I'm blessed. I've not been engaging in spiritual warfare since we told this level. The last Tuesday I did a study on Diana of Ephesus Artemis. And because of that, I connected that to the spirit that ruled this environment. I actually talked about Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria. And the prince of the power of the air. And we had a very terrible prayer that Tuesday morning. So after that prayer, if my wife is here

17:08 My wife fainted this morning outside here. Probably sick. Tuesday morning as we're going to going to school and I was taking my children school. It would have been a very fatal accident. I could Anytime I ask, "Holy Spirit, what is happening?" That prayer. >> Some have even gone mad. >> Every time I ask, that prayer. If you ask my wife, she's here now. She will tell you, I said, "Things are happening around us and I can only trace them to the prayer we prayed." I never knew we were doing something wrong. I thought an attack is coming because we just pushed hours forward. But now we realize we are stepping on the boundaries where we don't have authority. I said, "I would I would appreciate if you can give us apart from this information, this knowledge that we know will save us." In fact, we are having service here this morning.

17:54 My wife stepped out. She wanted to draw. And I said, "Do I go with you?" She said she can control herself. I just have a feeling that she might fall. It was the mobile policeman in front of Nero's here. That sustained her. She fell to the ground. They had to pour her water. So please, I want to I want to I want to say this because so many of you know me here if you live in Asaba. I believe in the grace of God. But if this is the reason why we are here, let's not step on the boundaries where we don't have authority. Thank you very much sir. >> All of you should go and study Jude and 2 Peter. When talking about these forces in the heavens, including Lucifer, Jude and Peter was writing. He said, "Even the angels that are greater in might, when they go to engage, do not bring upon them railing accusations."

18:40 Rather, they say, "May the Lord what? Rebuke." He said, "SOME FALSE DREAMERS, PREACHERS, AND BRETHREN, NOW I'M TAKING IT UPON THEMSELVES TO BRING RAILING UPON DIGNITIES, SPEAK WHATEVER, THINGS THEY DON'T KNOW." HE SAID, "THOSE will become brute beasts meant to be destroyed." It's actually pride. And I've noticed another thing, people start engaging in somewhere along the line, they also get into pride. Some get into deceptions. They get into all kinds of things and they leave the mandate and be pursuing shadows for years. >> I finished that 140 days the church reduced [music] by half.

19:28 I say ah, part of the suffering for righteousness is not foolishness. Yes, yes, give him mic. Good evening, sir. Yes. How to pray to actually shake a city is what we need to learn. To bring revival and shake a whole city. Yes, yes, yes, sir. So, I'm at school. I'm a graduate of Novena University. The former student [music] leader of the school. We hold serious revival programs and prayers and the casting of holding this the we always call prince of Abuja, prince of this and that. Serious prayers. We move. We go into because it's a very thick forest with serious deities. And a month later, my dad got very sick because I started wondering, "Why would my dad be sick in Abuja?" And we took him all the way to my school environment and he died there.

20:13 My dad died this year. So, I don't understand I'm trying to understand I was always thinking at home, "Why would my dad die?" God always told me something where that there was a price that was paid for my head. But now I'm trying to get a revelation. I don't understand. >> was paid for you is Jesus. Nobody in your family needs to die for >> I don't understand what happened. If why would my dad leave? We stay in the bush or >> See what happened. That's what we explained to you this night. Are you still asking the question or you were asking before? The answer has come this night. So, you can if you want to kill another person, continue. Maybe when you have enough casualty, you will learn. I know many of us are arguing in their head. Don't worry. Don't worry. I was ordained a pastor 1988. So, I'm still a young pastor. I've not gave my life to Christ 1980. So, I'm still But I have small journey I have [music]

20:59 had with God. And there might be few of you that are reaching more people than me. So, if So, let me give you a secret. [music] Let me give you a secret. Because my wife asked me, "Well, sometimes you deal with this. How come you don't get that?" I said, "Because, to start with, to deal with [music] it, there's a revelation I have that enables me to." He said, "What is it?" I said, "A believer The believer has a sitting in third heaven." And third heaven is far above second heaven and first heaven. Can I say it again? When Jesus died, he raised us up together with him, made us to sit with him at the right hand of the heavenly places. Where? In Christ. Now, so what we all need to learn is how

21:45 to do third level prayer, not first heaven prayer. Because when you do first heaven prayer, you are binding the thing up, and you're binding authorities that are up. How do you operate from third heaven in order to speak to lower power? Those powers that are lower. Is somebody hearing what I'm saying? So, she said, "So, how do you do it?" I said, "I only venture into second level warfare when I'm in the spirit." If I'm not under the anointing, I will not try it. You cannot be doing that in the flesh, because you are doing it from the earth. But even what I have said does not stop repercussion from coming if there are weak people around you. Just that it can't reach you. Yes because until man is finally brought to where he

22:33 really operates there, which is what I have to. Mhm, a lot of our people still walk in the flesh, including your members. Including your pastors. They are supposed to be walking in the spirit, but majority of them walk in the flesh. That's why they are into jealousy, malice, strife, and all that. So, I told my wife that there are seven protocols for seven second heaven warfare. That what is happening that people are not meeting those conditions and they're engaging in it. He said, "Give me the protocols." I said, "Okay, I will mention a few of them for you. Check Daniel. He brought down the prince of Persia. Check Nehemiah. Check Ezra, who prayed to shift the destiny of nation? Not one of them bound them. What they did is first, personal repentance. Second, identification of repentance. Why? Why is this important? What made those forces to be over Nigeria like what's happening in the northeast are

23:18 sins that were committed on earth. The type of heaven over a nation is decided by what the people who live in that place do. Have you read Deuteronomy 28? If you work according to the words of the Lord, da da da da da, what do you have? Open heaven. Am I correct? When you start breaking, KILLING PEOPLE, INVOLVING IN ALL KINDS OF ATROCITIES LIKE OCCULTISM AND BLOODSHED, WHAT DO YOU HAVE? THE HEAVEN OVER YOU WILL BE WHAT? IRON. THAT'S WHEN PRINCIPALITIES SIT OVER NATIONS. SO, WHAT HAPPENS THAT [screaming] THE CHURCH RISES, THEY WANT TO PULL THE PRINCE OF ASABA DOWN, he will strike back. He has the legal right to do that. WHY? BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN STRIKE HIM IS THAT you must first of all remove the legal thing that is going on that have given the position. And what gave him the position is the sins in the land. Let me GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. THE PRINCE

24:04 OF PERSIA, THAT THOSE FORCES HAD DEFEATED ISRAEL, SCATTERED THEM in Babylon, turned God's people into slaves FOR 70 YEARS. DANIEL WANTS TO REVERSE IT. YOU CAN'T JUST START BINDING THEM. WHY DID ISRAEL GO INTO CAPTIVITY? IDOLATRY. THEY BROKE A LOT OF GOD'S LAW. SO, THE FIRST THING IS TO IDENTIFY WITH THE SIN OF THE NATION, THE SIN OF THE PEOPLE BEFORE GOD. WHILE HE'S PRAYING AND IDENTIFYING AND HE'S IN BROKENNESS AND HE'S IN REPENTANCE, GOD SENT ANGELS TO GO AND CLEAN UP THAT second heaven and overthrow the FORCES THERE. IT WASN'T BY DANIEL ARROGANTLY BINDING THEM THAT BROUGHT them down. And I'm yet to see one place where Jesus did it to anybody. We can't operate beyond the one that sent gave us the commission now. The day you find one place, please come

24:50 and share the revelation with me. People who engage in second level warfare, second level have a lot of humility. Oh Jesus, should I show them? No. Okay, let me show you this. This is Satan direct, dealing with Satan. Isaiah 27:1. We we we this scripture we use in intercession for Africa in dealing with I'm talking about Leviathan now. Just watch. In that day, the Lord with his severe sword, fierce and strong, will punish the Leviathan, that fleeing serpent, Leviathan, that twisted serpent. He will slay the reptile that is in the sea. Did he say who will deal with Leviathan? You or the Lord?

25:42 You say, "Okay, I don't believe in that. I will deal I can deal with him." Let me show you something. Job 41:1. Just see. Let's look at this guy. This is that serpent that fell in that deceived Eve. Let's look at him. Can you draw out the Leviathan with a hook? Or snare his tongue with a line which you have lowered? [music] Can you put a reed through his nose? Or pierce his jaw with a hook? Verse three. Will he make many supplication to you? Will he beg you? Will he speak softly to you? Will he make a covenant with you? Will will you take him as a servant forever? Verse five. Will you play with him as with a bird or will you leash leash him for your maiden? Will you your companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants? Verse seven.

26:29 Can you fill his skin with harpoons [music] or his head with fishing spear? Look at that statement in verse eight. Lay your hand on him, remember the battle, and you won't try it again. This guy is not just an archangel. Michael is an archangel. I know people who say there are three archangels, Michael, Lucifer. He's not an archangel. I've never seen where the Bible said he's an archangel. He said cherub. They are higher order. That's why when Michael meets him in battle, he doesn't insult him or whatever. He carries God's instruction to take him out. He doesn't insult him because he was a higher ranking. Cherubims are higher ranking than Now, [music] I have a lot of military people with, you know, and I ask them this question. When you send a recruit or a captain to go and arrest a general, maybe there's military coup

27:15 like General Abacha said what. When they get there, they salute them first. Am I correct? And then they say because order is from above. The man submits. And then they take him. They don't insult him. Even if you're going to fire him, the order is to fire him. You don't They greet him and still do what? Because the authority they are operating is a higher Jesus has defeated all levels of powers, principalities, [music] dominion, thrones. He has authority over them. But what he delegated to the church is his authority on the earth to carry out his assignment on the earth. If he actually gave us authority over the heaven, then we can even order him around and order angels around and order God around. You can't.

28:01 You can even order the cherubims because they are part of angels. All the cherubims around the throne, you need to report here. Come and attend to us in this service. And we don't want you in heaven for the next 3 days. Stay here with us. And then they will obey you. You don't have such authority that you are exercising. I know they are angels, but you don't have this authority. But they are ministering spirits that has been deployed to work with us on earth. And our authority can influence them all. Let's leave that one for another day. If he's like that, I can even order Apostle Paul who is in heaven to appear. Jesus has authority in the three realms, but he delegated his authority on the earth to the church because he specified authority goes with responsibility. There are three components there are in that part, responsibility, authority, and the final one will be

28:46 accountability. When you come before the person that gave you to give account. Authority is never above the responsibility. Are we asked to go and disciple space? Are we asked to go and make disciples of angels? So, any power, including Lucifer, IF HE VENTURES INTO THE EARTH to operate, you can bind him. As far as this space is concerned, you have authority. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING THE SEA and there's a storm, it doesn't matter which power raised that storm, you can stop it. If you are in the air, there is only what you can stop it. Where the problem is is second heaven warfare. That's what is causing people a lot of issue problem. And second heaven warfare has to do with destiny of nations. See? Remember I'm involved in national transformation. Right now, in a project to deal with 56 countries in Africa. If

29:32 you don't know something about spiritual warfare, you cannot do that. Africa, nations are any nation anywhere. You can't do it. Look at this prince of the north that is doing this thing. How do we bring him down? Prince of north east. That guy needs to be removed. Should revival come flow in that area? Because that is the one behind these killings. These things are not just flesh and blood, there are forces behind what is going on. How do we deal with it? Organize now, bind it. You can even go and live there for the next 40 days and bind them and see if you can bind it. These are second heaven forces. But when Daniel started bringing but if a group of people bringing repentance over the blood that has been shed, over

30:19 all the things that has happened, over whatever, then they move into intercession, God almighty will issue another war. A war will start though that will finally end bringing those forces out. I have never seen one place where revival occurred by binding second heaven. Revival starts with brokenness, with whatever, [music] with and at the end of the heaven is changed, rain is falling, cities are transformed. Go and read CHARLES FINNEY. GO AND READ John Wesley. Go and see if they did all these rascal things they are teaching you. If you have one, I'm challenging you, YOU ARE A PASTOR. GIVE ME ONE. IT'S MODERN DAY whatever that are teaching us these ones. No, spiritual warfare is legitimate. We are not wrestling against flesh and blood. We need to [music] deal with forces.

31:10 But we need to deal [music] with within the the level of the authority Jesus delegated to us. There are other things we need to take to God's [music] throne. The truth is if our authority can deal with everything, we don't need intercession. We don't need supplication anymore. What are we talking to God for? We don't even need to pray again. I will say it again. If our authority can deal with everything that we don't need to pray [music] again. Why Why are you praying and disturbing God? Just use your authority then. Cuz whatever is under your authority will obey. Man has dominion over the earth. God rules the heavens. That's how he divided [music] this verse. So, she said to me, "How come you sometimes do that?" I said, "I do it when I'm in the spirit." He said,

31:55 [music] "What do you mean?" I said, "The hand of God must be on me." I don't venture there in the flesh. I don't do that. He said, "What do you mean?" I said, "I anytime I do I must ascend to that my seat at Christ's right hand. From there I can execute that dimension of the authority I achieved on the cross." Your question for you, do you know when the hand of God is on you and when it's not? Do you know when you are under the anointing and when you are not? Do you know when you are in the [music] spirit and when you are not?

32:43 >> If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves, seek my face, turn from their own wicked [music] ways, and then pray, I will hear from heaven, and I will heal their land. When it comes to the healing of nation, there are a couple of protocols involved in it. Is somebody hearing what I'm saying? If you go to your community [music] and you want to uproot that deity that is there, you better get enough legality in the court of heaven to justify that, and that's through repentance and bringing atonement for what has happened there. And you must start with your personal because if you have openings through sin, [music] you need to start with that and make sure that there is no opening. Then you have to stand to identify with the what is happening [music] in the community on behalf of the people, and when repentance of heart is thorough work,

33:29 you will have removed the legal ground that gave those forces their standing. Then you can hit them, and they will clear. But if you don't remove it, you hit them, they have a Do you know there was once a demon adjure Jesus by God, say that you torment me not before the time. And Jesus respected him. He also made a second request, don't send me out of this territory. Jesus also respected him. And allowed them to enter pigs. And when the pigs died, they remained in the territory. Why did he do that? How come the guy said, I adjure thee by God? How can he appeal to God and get it? Because until Adam's lease runs out, they are defeated, but until Adam's lease runs out, they have right to

34:15 [music] be here. Yes, what's the question? But they don't have right to run your house, to run your church, to run your family, to scatter your business. You have right to stop them. Are you hearing what I'm saying? >> Sir, once is it possible for one to fast and uh this spirit in the second heaven will come to torment. You don't know what I've been saying before. I said I finished 40 days fasting. >> No, you didn't you didn't say anything today. >> Okay, just to fast. >> Yes, because I had fasted at [music] a point and then demons from everywhere >> But you saw what happened with Jesus now. >> came out >> The ones that happened to the head. >> Once we had a head Yes. >> Did you notice >> driving cars, they were not having heads. Everywhere was filled with somewhere

35:01 flying. >> Thank God he didn't go mad. Thank God that he's still sane. >> [laughter] [music] >> In finality I recommend that book again. Where is it? Go and read it, everybody. There are prints. Where is it? Now, because this kind of discussion I'm assuming that you are men of God. That's why I could You have to if you want to build this, you have to build it from the authority of the believer. And build help people know who they are, know what the authority they have. And so that you don't go to teach spiritual warfare you start with limit of authority. You first teach them the authority. And all of that and they are now doing exploits. You now show them that your job is is commissioner of police. You don't exercise authority on the president. You now show them where the limit and

35:46 the boundary is. The starting point if you want to train a church on the authority of the believer is to first train them on it. And when they have learned to exercise, to do things and they are getting results, you now show them where the boundary is. But if you start with boundary, you've not taught me how to shoot gun. You are telling me how not to shoot it. You might kill their faith first. >> You know, if like when getting into a town and you know there are powers that be. How do we deal with them? >> That's why I gave you this book. And I'm recommending another one to help. It's called Triumphant Church. Go and buy it. You will see the warning I'm giving you in that book. You will also see how to exercise your authority in maximum capacity. Please go and get that book and read it. The man that is talking knows what he's

36:32 talking about. Kenneth Hagin, triumphant church by Kenneth Hagin. You will see what I've warning you about there. And you will also see Of course, Jesus told Kenneth Hagin, said, "Bind what is on earth and I will bind what is in the heavens." It's as simple as that. He said, "Actually, that's the real meaning of whatever you bind on earth shall be what? Bound in the heaven." Don't try Leave the heaven for God. Bind the earth because that's where your sphere is. God will take care of the correspondent [music] higher power that existed. You find out in this if Daniel with only three supports, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego lived in one of the worst [music] nations on earth as our cottages. And yet he changed even their heavenly atmosphere, changed that society. Then anybody can do it. Yet they could not destroy him.

37:20 He operated within the sphere of his authority and he's enjoyed divine protection. Is somebody hearing what I'm saying? Buy this book. Buy triumphant church. Cuz I wish And then I recommended you a tape, dominion over demons. Go and get it. [music] You will get a little more details. What's is my purpose? I'm not trying to limit your exercise of authority. I'm trying to >> [music] >> I want to see you safe to finish your assignments. Because as I'm talking to you, [music] there are so many things that has happened. It's just that I'm not into the negative side a lot. And casualties, the level of casualties the body of Christ has suffered over this thing. You know, marriages, children. There's gentleman in Ghana that finished

38:05 this [music] kind of thing. And you know, they left him alone. Within a couple of weeks after when he has calmed down, they wiped his family. Wiped his without his wife and all his children died in one spot. So, and the crisis arises and people start questioning [music] God. What Where are you? Is it that you come protect anymore? It's not God. It's not God. I know about four people engaging in [music] that and they're all buried. And yet they pray for people. You know? And anytime even when we have tried to counsel, you know, even IV when they finish they think we'll have to go. And they pray for people and people get help.

38:51 Okay, there were cases that were going [music] on. I told the pastors to show you how powerful truth is. A couple of women had a miscarriage. 64 have died in the church >> [music] >> while they are engaging this and they kept going and they didn't know what was going on. So I explained to him I said, "Slow down my friend. Repent of [music] this kind of thing and see what happens to these ones that are trying to die." Everybody recovered within some 24 hours, some within 2 days, [music] some and all the scattered things came back in place. At least I apologized to myself. I said good to God. I said, "Lord, I'm sorry for venturing beyond my sphere of authority. It's out of ignorance. I didn't know that." And then bring the blood of Jesus, too.

39:37 And everything that was out of place fell back into place. If there's someone that has a present one, try it today you will see what I'm saying. 24 hours what I've given you now, that thing will put you back into place. You know, grace covers also even in our foolishness while you are misbehaving. The only problem is it gets to a limit you. You keep going because you think it's right because there is grace. Like somebody sleeping with a woman that is not You're going around sleeping around and grace is still covering you. Grace is covering so you now think it's right. You keep doing. Then HIV strikes. Cuz that's the one of the benefit of the New Testament, our grace. But you can't stretch grace beyond certain point. When knowledge comes it helps to put in order. [music] Is somebody hearing what I'm saying? Hey, oh Jesus.

40:24 I know I've entered into um but no problem. I'm glad to have >> [music] [applause] >> studied this further so you can find You need to know what I know. Study it further. It's not that I don't know knowledge is not there, it's just that we have Some of us are operating in assumption. Amen. Finally, you have a seat. It's position of authority as God's right hand purchased for you by [music] Christ. That particular position can deal with the three worlds. Hm?

41:09 Well, let me advise you. When believers have not matured in terrestrial warfare, please don't [music] push them into these things. You're going to destroy cause people to lose their life that are young, people that are still growing in the Don't push them into these things. And anytime you want to venture in, whether you're under the spirit or not, put a blood covenant over your wife and children. If possible, put over the people you lead. Let me tell you, >> [music] >> it's one area of warfare you must engage in and with precaution. It's like telling you you can cure Ebola. It's true. I said doctor do that, but it kills doctors. So, these are That's why when they tell you wear that [music] those gloves, do all that, please understand why.

41:57 Understand [music] why. There are mandates here. Want to see you 10 years driving it, 20 years. When you finish it, if you want to go, you can go. Not that something terminated. Because over For example, have you been engaging in it? I had to call to his church to rescue him from almost a kidney failure or whatever. What have you been doing? >> After 31 days fasting and prayer, >> [music] >> I saw myself in the hospital for 2 weeks. >> It was becoming fatter. >> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. For it was terrible. >> He is a witness. >> Are you not the one that sent me the first question? Will I be losing if you don't intervene? >> It was terrible, sir. It was terrible. I went beyond my boundaries. I was

42:43 actually telling Pastor Masha, this is exactly what happened to me. And I thank God for this meeting today. I I think this is this is this is one major reason God brought you to our Sabah to gather ministers, to bring [music] us out from our ignorance. This has [music] crippled a lot of ministries. IN FACT, AFTER SOME TIME, ALL THE PASTORS IN OUR CHURCH LEFT AS A RESULT OF THIS AFTER A major heat. >> Thank you very much for this exposition. [music] Uh I want to say that uh how do we now fast? Because much of this is in the area of [music] maybe in many churches at the beginning of every year, want to lead your members >> [music] >> into fasting.

43:28 >> No, you can fast. And you can bind whatever is troubling the people. Bind whatever is troubling the church. Bind what is troubling marriages. Bind what is troubling families. Bind anything that is hindering your people. You have authority TO >> DO THAT. THAT IS SAID FIRST HEAVEN WARFARE. >> NOW, YOU HAVE ENOUGH AUTHORITY, more than enough. >> Uh excuse me, sir. We did something like that for 70 days. And the very next day, that is the fasting ended this Sunday, the next day commotion came. Six pastors left. >> Okay, let me show you something. Let me show you. Ephesians chapter 6 verse 10. Everybody said, "Finally, my brethren, put be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. Then verse 11 say put on what? That you may be able to withstand

44:14 against what? The wiles of the devil. Then if you read down, he said so that having done all, stand. Paul doesn't want us after engaging, we are knocked out. He wants us to be safe while we are doing this. Am I correct? So everybody say one more time, finally my brethren. The question, whenever you see statement like that, it means there are other things he said before that. That's why he's giving you the final part. I said the last point for this night is this. That means there are points I've made. Am I correct? Do you know what it is? That anybody that is going to engage in warfare at all must be in order. What do you mean by order? For example, they have to be under authority. The wives must submit to the husbands.

44:59 The husbands must be loving their wives. The children must be under the authority of their parents. If they are not under divine order and covering and engaged demons. For example, how many of you have heard where they say women should put a covering on their head because of what? Angels. A woman that is not under covering and is engaging powers and whatever, they will decimate her. She's in rebellion. She's not Remember that the the head of every woman is who? Her husband. Am I the one making up this? Please show them. Show them. Show them. It started from chapter 5. He said uh >> [music] >> all of you submit yourself one to another. Then he said women wives submit yourself to your own husband. You read that. Wives submit yourself to your own

45:45 husband. Then husband, love your wife. Children, obey your parents. And after he continued chapter 6 verse 1, children obey your parents, parents do not provoke YOUR CHILDREN. THEN FINALLY WHAT IS IT TRYING TO SAY? That to exercise authority, you have to [music] be under authority. Which is one of the protocols. This one is not just about second heaven. Yeah, affects all types of warfare. So, we carry an army disjointed and put them out, and the enemy dismembers them. Because there's no order. A wife that is constantly in rebellion, she but she goes and start engaging powers. When she finish it, there's miscarriage. Or when she finish it, the growth starts in her armpit. Well, we

46:32 didn't get it. I didn't perfect it. Let him give give us understanding. Give us whatever. But, I'm not just talking like somebody that has been taught and learned in this. I am a practitioner. And I have a lot of experiences in this stuff. I mean engaging the war to take nations. That's why I'm making a lot of in engagements now with the north. I want to help the northern church. We can clean off this thing that is affecting the heavens. Can be cleaned up, >> [music] >> but there are conditions that has to be met.

47:21 So, January 1st, there's nothing wrong with it. But, they should prepare themselves for the year and take care of, you know, all of these things. And it [music] will also be good if half of those prayers are not focusing on our on us, and focus more on the kingdom, on the city, on how righteousness can reign, on how souls will [music] be saved, on mission, and all that. God will move tremendously. And then the other half can bring our needs, you know, and uh-huh. Lord, my God. I invite you again for mission conference because there are things we have left. You know, but that's how far time can allow us.

48:13 But if you learn what we have shown you this time, you will keep your family safe. You keep your children safe. You keep yourself safe. You will keep your leadership team. You can keep that work.
