[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:11] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. I want us to look at a scripture. A scripture that is so, so important.

[0:26] In the book of Psalm 91, it says that, thank you, Holy Spirit.

[0:37] In Psalm 91, the Bible says that, he that dwells in the secret place of the Almighty shall abide under the, either in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

[0:59] To abide under his shadows. I know most of us might, some of us might not be familiar with how a hen covers the cheek or the chicks.

[1:12] Sorry, the hen covers the chicks when they see a predator or danger coming. The chicks are very vulnerable. Or chicks, chicks are baby, baby hen.

[1:24] Okay. So, he covers, she covers the chicks when she sees trouble coming. And he says that, he that abides in the secret place of the Almighty, he that dwells in the secret place shall abide under the shadow.

[1:38] In other words, you know, God is your covering. You are under the shadow of God. You are under the wings of the Almighty God. And no evil coming from any direction will be able to touch you.

[1:51] As we dwell in the secret place of the Most High. As we pay the price to be in his presence. That's the secret place of the Most High. In his presence. Look at the verse 2.

[2:02] I will, I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress. My God in whom I will trust. I will say. That's why I told you the other time.

[2:13] What you say matters. What you say matters. He said, I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge. What's a refuge? Some of us might not be familiar with refuge.

[2:28] Because it's not normal day to day usage. But I know some of us know about refugees. A refugee is someone who is running for their dear life and to seek refuge.

[2:43] So wherever the refugee goes to be protected from danger is a refuge. Wherever you go to be protected from what is threatening your life, your existence and what is threatening you.

[2:57] Anything you run to, you run from one place, your normal place. You run from there to a place where you know that in that place you will be protected and you will be saved from the harm of what is coming after you.

[3:11] Now Bible says that I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge. Someone say God is my refuge. God is my refuge.

[3:23] In these days, you need God as your refugee more. Me, I am happy. I am happy to be identified as a refugee.

[3:35] Yes, I am a refugee. I am a refugee and I have sought refuge in God. That's why I don't know, but I know refuge.

[3:46] I am taking my cover in God. I am taking my protection in God. I am a refugee. I don't know of you, but me, I am a bona fide, happy refugee.

[3:59] Happy refugee. Look, there are some people who are not even refugees. Their lives are not in danger. But they think living in the United Kingdom is far better than where they are.

[4:13] So they make themselves like refugees to come and seek refuge when they are not refugees. Why? Because the standard of living where they are going is better.

[4:24] So they go like refugees. In the same way, we are not even just the standard of living in God is better. But you actually, your life is under threat by a virus, by wicked people, by enemies, by Satan's program and agenda.

[4:43] Your marriage is under threat. But thank God that we have a refuge in God. Thank God we have a refuge in God. Thank God we have a refuge in God.

[4:54] Shout. Thank God I am a refugee. Thank God I am a refugee. He said, I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge.

[5:06] Not only that, and my fortress. A fortress is a very, very heavily fortified, heavily guarded place where you run to an armies that are after you.

[5:18] Or when a nation is under attack, the citizens have to run into a certain place. A fortress. Like it is properly built to defend those inside from oncoming attacks.

[5:31] It is a fortress. Something is usually, castles are like that, are built as fortresses. In those days, fortresses are built on mountains. So, for all you may know, a place like Buckingham Palace is a fortress.

[5:46] You can't go there easily. You can't penetrate there. A fortress is a place that is heavily guarded, properly built. When you attack, you can't easily attack beyond that place.

[5:58] And the Bible says, God is my fortress. You can't attack me beyond God. You can't go past God and get to me. Because our lives are hit in Christ.

[6:09] Our lives are hit in Christ. Our lives are hit in Christ. And so, the psalmist said, I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress.

[6:20] And then he said, just in case things are going on around me, that don't make sense. My God, in Him I will trust. I trust in Him, but I will still trust in Him.

[6:31] I will trust in Him. It doesn't matter what seems to be going on. I will still trust in Him because He is my God. Look at verse 3. Surely, He shall deliver you from the snare.

[6:43] You remember, I think three days ago, I mentioned this snare. From snare. Snare is a trap to catch your feet and get you into trouble. God Himself will come and deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the noise storm pestilence.

[6:58] Pestilence is a pandemic. Another word for pandemic is pestilence. Something that is in the air and killing people and destroying life.

[7:09] God will deliver you from the perilous, King James, I think King James said, noisome. Noisome. Perilous is it makes people perish. It's dangerous. Pestilence.

[7:20] You and your household shall be delivered. I'm prophesying. You and your household shall be delivered from the noisome pestilence.

[7:30] God shall deliver you from the fowler and from the noisome pestilence. Anything that has been set as a trap for you, God will deliver you from it. And anything that is loose, is at large, destroying lives, attacking lives, God will save you from that noisome pestilence.

[7:48] In the name of Jesus. And so if we have gathered here, we have gathered to be in the secret place of the Lord. Our meetings are the secret place of the Lord. You are coming into the presence of the Lord.

[8:00] That is the secret place of the Lord. And there is nowhere God's presence is guaranteed like where two or three are gathered in His name. When you are by yourself, there is no guarantee that He is with you.

[8:12] But He says, as long as two of you gather in My name, He said, Me, you don't call Me. I am there. You don't have to call Me. Once you gather, I am there. Where two or three gather together in My name.

[8:26] The caveat is, in My name. If you have gathered in My name, He said, I am there in the midst of them. Not, I will be there. No, no, no. He didn't say, I will be there. He said, I am there.

[8:36] They meet, I am there. And so, there is no guaranteed presence anywhere like, I am not saying when you are by yourself, God is not there. Manifested presence may be at a very low level.

[8:51] Sometimes there might not even be any manifested presence. But when we gather in His name, He guarantees that His presence is here. And brothers and sisters, if you look at what God has been doing for the past 16 days, it is very clear, it is very evident that He actually is in our midst.

[9:10] He is here because He said He will never leave. When we gather, He will be with us. He is here in our midst. And this is the secret place of the Most High. And if you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, then you will abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

[9:26] Then you will say, the Lord is my refuge and my strength. He will, I will not, He is my God in whom I will trust. And then you say, He will deliver.

[9:38] Then, once you trust Him, He is not just your refuge. He is not just your fortress. He is also your deliverer. He will deliver you from the snare, from the trap of the fowler.

[9:50] And He will save you from the noisome pestilence. This is what I believe in God and trust that you will be able to expect. Exercise your faith in this direction.

[10:02] Brothers and sisters, exercise your faith. Exercise your faith for your siblings, for your mother, for your father, for your brothers. Exercise your faith in this direction in the name of Jesus.

[10:13] This is the time to put your whole confidence in God. Because God, He will do it. And He is already showing up in our midst. I would want us to go slightly a different direction in prayer.

[10:27] I want us to pray. So, we are going to contend in prayer. Yes. In Deuteronomy chapter 2 verse 24, 23 and 24, particularly 24.

[10:44] We are going to pray. And He says that, Rise up, take your journey, and pass over the river Anon.

[10:56] Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Hezbon, and his land. What should you do?

[11:07] Begin to possess it and contend with him in battle. Contend. Fight. I have given it to you, but you have to fight and take it.

[11:19] Take it from him. It is already not for him. He is an illegal occupant. Occupant. He is occupying it illegally because I have... Ownership has changed hands.

[11:30] But on the surface, it does not look like that. So, you have to begin to contend with him in battle. Tonight, we have to contend anything that belongs to you, which the enemy has hijacked or has gone into the wrong hands.

[11:43] You want to pray and contend with it and possess your possession. Yes. Some of us, we have to fight. Tonight, we really want to contend. Fight. Fight. Fight against the work of the enemy.

[11:55] The work of the devil against your family. Against your family. Tonight, I want us to focus our fight for the family. So, tonight, you got to fight for your family. You got to fight for your family.

[12:08] Because your family is important. You got to fight for your family. The Bible says in Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12 and 13.

[12:19] It says that, For we wrestle not against flesh and blood. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness.

[12:34] Where? In heavenly place. We wrestle not against. That means we wrestle against. We wrestle against principalities and powers.

[12:46] So, we are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but we are actually wrestling against principalities. Flesh and blood, they connotes physical things. Things that can be seen. Things that can be touched.

[12:56] Things that can be handled. Things that can be understood by the normal mind. We are wrestling against principalities and powers. Things that can be done by the normal mind. They are fighting against rulers of the darkness of this age.

[13:09] There is a darkness. There is darkness in this age. And those who are ruling it. Those who are behind it. They are puppet masters behind the scenes.

[13:20] We have to deal with forces behind the scenes. So, your brother is not well. Your mother is very unwell.

[13:30] Don't just say medication, medication. Let the medication go on. But, go on your knees. And take advantage of this environment. And deal with forces behind the scenes.

[13:42] Yes. That's what I'm talking about. We have to deal with. Some of you. If you don't deal with forces behind the scenes. None of your family members will get married. Ugh. Yeah.

[13:54] None of them will get married. There are forces behind the scenes. Can't you see the trend? Can't you see the pattern? There's a particular similar pattern.

[14:04] That is flowing. It's following. From grandmother to mother and aunties. From mother and aunties to sisters and cousins.

[14:15] You can see. It's flowing from grandfather to father and uncles. From father and uncles to brothers and cousins. You can see. And now even to nephews.

[14:28] You can see. The trend. You can see. The trend. Somebody must rise up. And stand in the gap. And see. Never again. No more.

[14:40] No more. It's enough. Enough is enough. Yes. Enough is enough. Enough of this satanic harassment. Enough of this satanic harassment. In my family.

[14:51] The whole family is tensed. The whole family is under tension. Because of what is going on. Enough is enough. Oh Lord. Turn the captivity around.

[15:02] Enough is enough. Amen. God cares about families. So it says in 2 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 3. It talks about verse 4.

[15:14] For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. So that means we are in a warfare. We are in combat. Hand to hand combat. We are in combat.

[15:26] We are in a fight. We are in a fight. We are in a fight. And we don't fight this fight physically. Because it's not.

[15:37] For the weapons that we are using. Are not carnal. Carnal means physical. Natural. Give me NIV. Let's hear that NIV. What else. The weapon of our warfare.

[15:49] For the weapons we fight with. Are not the weapons of this world. On the contrary. Even though they are not the weapons of this world. They have this world. They have divine power to demolish strongholds.

[16:01] Kaya mama shonama. You know what a stronghold is. A stronghold is anything that holds you strong. It's holding you. Not let you go. It's holding your family.

[16:12] Some of you ladies. Some of you gentlemen. At your age. You are still not married. Maybe there's a stronghold. Some of you ladies. There's a stronghold. And some of you are so fortunate to be young enough.

[16:23] To start tackling some of these things. So when is your time of marriage. It doesn't get deferred and delayed. Let's deal with it now. And some of you mothers. Fight what you fought.

[16:35] And you are beginning to see victory. Fight it. So your daughters won't have to fight. Fight. So your sons won't have to fight. Fight. Fight.

[16:45] How do we fight? There are different ways of fighting. But one of the main ways to fight. Is fighting through prayer. That's why Jesus said. My house shall be a house of prayer.

[16:57] Mark chapter 11 verse 17. My house shall be a house of prayer. So that's why when we gather. It's an opportunity to release the power of God. To release the power of God.

[17:07] To turn things around. To turn things around. In the book of Isaiah chapter 49. It says. Shall the prayer be delivered from the mighty? Shall the captive be delivered from the strong one?

[17:22] It's a rhetorical question. That means. Straightforward. No. If. A prisoner is being held. Detained. Kept in. Wantanamo Bay.

[17:35] Or. Let's even say. In UK here. London here. Belmarsh. When they take you to Belmarsh. It's high security prison. Like Julian Assange. You.

[17:45] Can't say. Oh he's my friend. I like him. So I'm going to the prison. To go and release him. Hey. How are you going to do it? No. I mean. How? You. You can't do it. You can't do it. So.

[17:56] The. The. The prey cannot be delivered. Put it back. Psalm 40. Isaiah 49. 24. Sorry. It says that. Shall the prey be taken from the mighty? If a mighty one has captured the prey.

[18:08] Can you go to a lion. Say. My friend. Bring the rabbit. No. You can't go to a lion. That has caught a rabbit. Or a goat. Bring the goat. Leave the goat.

[18:18] Leave the goat. Before I deal with you. In fact. He will finish you. Before you say the next thing. Finish you. So. How come David was able to deal with the lion.

[18:29] And deliver the goat. That's where we are going. There is something. That can come upon us. We will exercise. To be able to deliver. So. He said. Can the prey be taken from the mighty?

[18:41] Or a captive. Of the righteous. Be delivered. Or. Give me a King James. The captive of the righteous. He says that. Lawful captives.

[18:51] A lawful captive is. Someone. Who has got. STD. Because. Of unprotected fornication. You brought it upon yourself.

[19:03] That's. That's. Lawful captive. You did it. And you got your results. You went. And stole money. Or you were. You went. And did something. You shouldn't have done bad.

[19:14] And now you are in trouble. You are not in trouble. Because. Somebody hates you. You are in trouble. Because of your actions. It's called. Lawful captivity. It's. It's legal. You are in captive.

[19:24] But that captivity is legal. He said. How can you go and deliver someone. Who is. A lawful captive. How can you deliver the prey from the lion. Can you imagine. A cat.

[19:36] Or a dog. Going to the lion. And say. Hey. Leave the goat alone. A dog. A dog. A dog. Not even a lion.

[19:47] A dog going to a lion. And say. Stop eating that. You can't kill that animal. No. You can't deliver the prey from the mighty. Because he's too mighty. To go and deliver the prey from. And then.

[19:58] The lawful captives cannot believe. This is. What is called. In grammar. A rhetorical question. A question. That doesn't need an answer. It's. The answer. Is implied in the question.

[20:09] It's like. We are all. Coming. From town. And it's been raining heavily. And as we entered. We are telling our friend. Who is inside. That it's raining. And said.

[20:19] Really. And then. I turned to you. Who are my friend. We came from. I said. Oh. I'm asking you. Is this not rain. That's rain. It's because we saw the rain. And I said. Is this not rain. You don't need to.

[20:30] I'm just. It's a. It's a question. But it doesn't need an answer. A question. That doesn't need an answer. Is it not rain. Is it not. Am I not saying something. See. It's a rhetorical question.

[20:41] So. He said. Can. Shall the prey. Be taken from the mighty. He said. It doesn't need an answer. You should know. If you have common sense. That you can go and deliver. How. I mean.

[20:51] You see what I'm talking about. How can a cow. Go to lion. And say. Lion. Bring. Let the rabbit go. Release that. Before I will kill you. Hey. How can. You can't deliver from the mighty.

[21:03] You see. So. A prey cannot be delivered. Or a loveful captive. Cannot be delivered. So. It's love. Lawful captivity. All right. Now. Go to the next verse. Having understood this. Say.

[21:14] Bat. Shout. Bat. Bat. In spite of the fact. That. Some things. In spite of the fact.

[21:30] That some things. Can not. Can not be done. God said. Bat. And we have actually seen a bat. Somebody. Who. Had. A challenge. With STD.

[21:41] But. Believed God. On the same platform. Just last week. Or is it this week. And. He or she. Got her. Deliverance. Because this is a loveful captive.

[21:53] But. But God said. That says the Lord. Even the captive of the mighty. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He said. Even. Even. That means.

[22:04] The captive of the. Not so mighty. Other one is no problem. The. He said. Even. Even the captives of the mighty. Shall be taken away. And the prayer.

[22:15] Of the terrible. Shall be delivered. For. How is it going to be. For I. God. I will contend with him. That contend with thee. And I will. Oh. This is so good. Hallelujah.

[22:25] This is good. Too good. He said. Me. I will contend with. Contend means to fight. God said. I will fight with him. That fights. With you. And I will save.

[22:36] Say save. Save. Save. Save. And guess what he said. He brought family matter. Inside this. This is family matter. You have to fight for your family.

[22:47] This is. He said. I will save your children. Family salvation. I will save your. He didn't say. I will save you. I will save your children. That means. You. And it will extend beyond you. Salvation goes further.

[23:00] Than just you. Kabadabababa. Acts chapter 16 verse 31. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. And the Lord. And you shall be saved.

[23:11] Not only you. You and your household. Which is Lord I believe. Lord I believe. Acts. Acts chapter 11.

[23:22] Verse 14. Acts chapter 11. Verse 14. He said. I will tell you. Where. Who will tell you. Where. By which you and your household. This is Cornelius.

[23:33] The angel appeared to Cornelius. He said. Send and go and call. Send for Peter. When Peter comes. He's going to preach some words to you. That is why you need. Servant of God. You need a man.

[23:45] To preach a certain word. And salvation is always. Oh. Kadibaba. Shandalelelelelelelelele. Hiadababa. Salvation is always. Connected to preaching.

[23:55] Salvation is always. Connected to a word. Spoken by a saint one. Salvation is always. Connected. That is why I believe. God has sent me tonight. For us to proclaim salvation.

[24:06] Over your family. Salvation. Over your life. Salvation. Over your finances. He says that. Send for Peter. Who will tell you words. Say words. Words.

[24:17] Everyone shouts. Speak the word. Pastor. Straight with conviction in your heart. Say. Speak the word. Speak the word. He said.

[24:28] This man will come. And say to you. He will tell you words. So. He will tell you words. By which you will be saved. Words.

[24:39] Acts 11. 14. He said. Peter will tell you words. Words. Words. By which. He will tell you words. By which you. Not only you.

[24:50] I am focusing on household salvation. You. Not only you. But you. And your household. Household. Household.

[25:01] Household. Today. I am telling somebody. Fight for your family. Fight for your family. And don't give up. Fight for your mother. Don't give up. Fight for your brother.

[25:12] Don't give up. Your brother. Who has become. A drug addict. Who has become an alcoholic. Fight for him. Fight for him. Fight for him. He is in prison. It doesn't matter.

[25:23] The lawful captive shall be delivered. The lawful captive shall be delivered. Fight for your sister. She is going through divorce. Fight for her. Fight for your grandmother. She is struggling for her life.

[25:34] She is fighting for her life. Fight for her. Fight for her. Fight for your family man. Fight for that your daughter. Fight for that your son. Fight for your husband.

[25:45] God that ba ba ba. He is becoming very wayward. He is backsliding from church. And he started chasing other women. The devil is a liar. Don't fight against him. Fight for him. Don't fight against him.

[25:56] Fight for him. Fight for your wife. Fight for your wife. Fight for her health. That lump in her breast. It is not going to turn into something else. Fight. Fight.

[26:11] Fight. He said, I will contend with those who contend against you. And I will save your children. Your family. Your family.

[26:21] Send for Peter. And he will come and tell you words. By which you will be. It takes words to be saved. Salvation is a function of words. And in the book of.

[26:35] Genesis chapter 17 verse 1. Thank you Jesus. In Genesis chapter 17 verse 1. Listen to how the Bible puts it. Yesterday I quoted this. When Abraham was 99 years old.

[26:47] The Lord appeared to him before him. And he said. Walk before me. And be blameless. Appeared to Abraham. And said to him. I am. Almighty God.

[26:58] Walk before me. And be blameless. Look at the next verse. And I will make covenant between me. And which. Between me and you. And I will multiply you exceedingly.

[27:09] Look at the next verse. And Abraham fell on his face. And God talked with him. Saying. For. As for me. My covenant is with me. And you shall be a father of many nations.

[27:22] This whole thing I'm dealing with you. Is not just you. Is going beyond you. Someone said. It goes beyond me. It goes beyond me. It goes beyond me.

[27:33] This whole thing. I'm telling you. Is going to go beyond you. God. Is a family. Minded God. God saves family. And I see. God saving.

[27:44] Your family. I see. God saving. Your family. I see. God saving. Your family. The captivity. Of your family. Round. Jesus.

[27:56] Excellent. Let's go. Excellent chapter 23. Speak to all the congregation of Israel. On the 10th day of the man. Watch this. Every man shall take. For himself. A lamb. According to what? The house of his father.

[28:07] A lamb for what? A lamb for what? For a household. For one person. A lamb for a household. A lamb. The lamb of God. Is for your household. Look at the next verse.

[28:19] Look at the next verse. And if. Thy house is too small. For a lamb. Let him. And his neighbor. Next to his house. Take it. According to the number. Of the persons. According to each man's name.

[28:30] Shall you make. Your count. For the lamb. So it's a lamb. For a household. A lamb. For a household. It's. Why? Because. God. Is the God. Of a household.

[28:41] It's a household God. Please. Today. I'm talking about. You have to fight. For your family. I know you have issues. With some of your siblings. And. Some tension. With some of your cousins.

[28:52] And all that. But you can't separate yourself. Blood is blood. Your brother is your brother. You may like him or not. He's still your brother. Your father. Your father is your father.

[29:03] He can be. A. Crazy person. But he's still your father. Your mother is your mother. And. That's. Let's not just. Let's not fight against. Family.

[29:13] We have to fight. For family. And this evening. We want to even focus. More. On people who have family members. Who are struggling. For their lives. With maybe an addiction.

[29:24] Or health challenge. And we have to curse. COVID. From every family. Amen. We have to curse. The root of COVID. Amen. We have to curse. The root of COVID. Amen. You know. You know.

[29:35] COVID also likes families. Yeah. Yeah. It tells you. It's clearly. It's devilish. COVID likes families. It's like families and loved ones. Once you have it. You say. I.

[29:45] Not only you. I want. I want you and your team. Look at Genesis chapter 7 verse 1. Then I'll quote one more scripture. And look. And then. We can pray. Genesis chapter 7.

[29:56] Verse 1. It said. The Lord said to Noah. Come into. Come into the ark. You. Oh. Did you see that? Ah. God. Just Noah is enough. No.

[30:06] No. No. No. He said. Don't do that. I'm a household God. Come into the ark. You and your household. Because. I have seen that. You are a right. You are righteous before me.

[30:18] In this journey. Who is righteous? Noah. I said. Come. With your household. To show that some of his sons. Are not even correct. They.

[30:29] They. Went. And sinned against their father. After their father. And they came out of the ark. So. Noah. House. But. It's Noah. It's Noah. Bible says in Hebrew chapter 11.

[30:40] Verse. I think 7. By faith. Noah. By faith. Noah. Verse 7. By faith. Noah. Being divinely one. Obeyed. You see. God live here.

[30:51] Obey. So it was Noah. But. Genesis 7. 1. God said. Noah. I need you. Come into the ark. Oh. Boy. The ark was the only safe. Safe place. The ark was the only safe place.

[31:03] The church. He that dwells in the secret place. Of the most high. Shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. The church is the only safe place. And you are in church. Look at what we are seeing.

[31:14] On this platform. Look at the power of God. We are experiencing. Why won't you pray. That this same power. This ark. Ark. Ark blessings. Will extend to your family.

[31:25] Amen. Those who have to be saved. Will be saved. And those who are not. Maybe close by. They don't even have to be encouraged. You are encouraged on their behalf. Wow. Your family doesn't have to be members of courage.

[31:37] For them to see what we are enjoying here. You alone. You are a whole family. You are a representation. You are a representation of your family. You are family representative. You are family rep.

[31:50] You are the representative of your family. It doesn't matter how funny they are. Sometimes they are insulting church. And even speaking against church. Don't worry. That's why God got you in early.

[32:01] So you will not do what they are doing. So through you. God will save you. And get the ark to cover them. Your mother is speaking. Excuse me my language. Rubbish against church. Rubbish against the.

[32:13] Against pastors. You know what she is doing is not safe. That is why God saved you early. Because she would have still done it. And thank God you are in. So that from inside. You can. God can have mercy on her.

[32:24] Through you. We are. We are indistinguished. Indistinguished. For our household. Not just for ourselves. Some of you. There is no way your children will go away. What? In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. You will not bury a child.

[32:36] You will not bury a child. It is a household God. It is a household God. That is why I want to advise. Strongly admonish parents. Be careful when you are speaking. Something negative about church.

[32:47] And about pastors. Particularly your pastor. In the front of the children. Be careful. Because you might pay it. More than you expect. Because if God is drawing your children into safety.

[33:00] Through your connectivity. And you are going to pollute the flow of grace. In the eyes of their children. Then I am sorry. You have cut them off. And it is very dangerous. Those of you who delight in speaking against churches.

[33:13] And against pastors. I am advising you. Do not join in condemning. Especially a church where you feed from. It is easy to have issues with church.

[33:23] Especially when you stay in the church very long. When you stay in church very long. Especially when you start backsliding. Like lockdown time. When you start backsliding. You begin to speak. Oh what? Every time fasting.

[33:34] Every time fasting. Your head. When you were in need. The fasting was not enough for you. When you were in need. Today you have gotten somewhere. You have put your feet. So you will want to this day. This same thing. This same thing that helps you.

[33:45] You. You are in a private. A small jet. And the jet is 25,000 miles above sea level. And suddenly you remember that you are having a meeting in the jet.

[33:57] But the engine is noisy. Too noisy. So. You. Damn. You are going to turn off the engine that took you up. You want to turn it off. Because it's too noisy. It's not convenient for your meeting.

[34:08] That same engine that is sustaining you up. You up. You want to go and turn it off. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Don't join unbelievers. Even if you backslide.

[34:20] Leave a little bit of common spiritual sense. Leave a little bit of common sense. Those of you who have backslided this lockdown. And you are opening your mouth and lambasting churches. Lambasting your pastor.

[34:30] Lambasting your church. What obities you. You are getting into trouble. A day is coming when you need help. They will pray for you by a two week. Because you have dismantled the validity of the grace from working for you.

[34:42] I know I'm prophesying to somebody. Oh yeah. Arrogance tells you. I don't care. I don't care. In the day of your need. You will see how much you care. In the day of your need. Don't join. In attacking the church you have been fed.

[34:55] Don't join. And those of you who are in church. Stop condemning people in church in the presence of your children. They will leave church and fall into the trap of the enemy.

[35:07] Fight for your family. Fight for your family. Let me quote one more scripture about this family. God is a household God.

[35:18] In Luke chapter 19 verse 9. This is Zacchaeus. This is about Zacchaeus. He came down. He came down from the tree. And Jesus said to him. Today salvation. Oh my God.

[35:28] Can't you see what I'm saying? He said today salvation has come to your house. Today. He didn't say salvation has come to you. Open your eyes.

[35:39] Look at the text. Today salvation has come to your house. Because you. Because he. Sorry. Has come to this house.

[35:50] Because Zacchaeus is also a son of Abraham. Zacchaeus. Prayed. Zacchaeus. Took a step. Like the way you are taking a step on this zoom. You are taking a step. Just like Zacchaeus.

[36:02] But your step. The step you are taking. Is saving your household. Zacchaeus took a step. And the step is saving his household. Saved his household. Because God has your house in mind.

[36:14] The psalm is posted this way. The Lord is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation. Yes. I don't know what your family might have been going through. But today.

[36:25] God will give you a chance. To call upon the God of salvation over your family. May God have mercy. May God have mercy. The God of mercy. Psalm 118 verse 14.

[36:35] Put you on the screen. This one is about salvation. Psalm 118 verse 14. The Lord is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation. Hallelujah. This should be your mantra for this tonight.

[36:48] The Lord is my strength and my song. Sometimes you feel weak. Sometimes you feel weak. You don't feel like continuing. You don't feel like going on. You don't feel like holding on. Hey.

[36:58] Don't give up. The Lord is my strength and my song. And he has become my salvation. In Isaiah chapter 12 verse 2. Look at it. Isaiah chapter 12 verse 2.

[37:09] It says behold. God is my salvation. I would trust and not be afraid. For Yah. The Lord is my strength and song. He also has.

[37:20] Oh my God. I like this one. He also has become my salvation. God has also become my salvation. He is my strength and my song. He also has become my salvation.

[37:31] God is your salvation. God. Somebody say God is my salvation. God is my salvation. God is my salvation. God is my salvation. The Lord is my salvation. The Lord is my salvation.

[37:42] Exodus. Let me give you one more. Exodus chapter 15 verse 2. This is Isaiah 12 to Exodus 15. 2. Thank you Jesus. The Lord is my strength and song.

[37:52] And he has become my salvation. He is my God. And I will praise him. My fathers. Did you see that? Did you see that? Did you see that? My fathers God. This household. This household.

[38:03] This household. My fathers God and I will exalt him. My fathers God has become my salvation. Jesus said to the man. This day. Today salvation has come to this house.

[38:14] I'm talking about somebody. This is somebody's prophetic word. Today salvation has come to your home. Fight for your family. Don't stand and watch. Thank you for listening.
