While I was speaking this morning about the Blood, and when I was saying that the Blood, as we reach up, would heal us of all the problems that are in the Body, one of the problems that popped up before me was the pornographic spirit, and the spirits of lust that Satan has his stronghold in. The stronghold of the devil is in that same spirit and that is one of the ways that he comes in. It is a door, a back door that is open in the Church and among the people of God that this spirit can come through. I was thinking that one of the ministers should get up and minister to the people here who are kneeling here for deliverance. And I finally heard the word that I was the one who should minister about that spirit.
When I was a young man, the spirit of lust took a hold of me, and in spite of all the miracles that God was doing in my life, in spite of all the things that were happening, the dead raised and the power of God on me, the humanity was still there and it was giving me trouble. I came to a point where I said, “Lord God, I want You to kill me. I must get rid of this thing or die. I will not live any longer with this kind of a devil working in my members.” Hallelujah! You know, this devil comes in while you are in the midst of praising God. Here is the devil of pornography, the devil of some naked person, the devil of some sinful condition coming up before you. We are aware that this devil came here today to corrupt and disrupt the work of God Almighty, and we are ready to slay him, because God says that He has given us the power. Abba! Power over the power of the enemy, and the greatest power that Satan has here today is that power of bringing an imagery before you.
Let me show you something that the Lord just showed me there. In Deuteronomy 2 the Lord was speaking to the Jews, and He was telling them about going into the land. What I am trying to say to you is that God spoke to the children of Israel and He told them to destroy all of the “-ites” out of the land. And He said that if you don’t destroy all of them, they will rise up to be a destruction to you and to your life. No man, no woman, is going to go into the place that God has ordained for us unless we destroy this big devil, this giant of lust and pornography, this giant that rears its head up.
You know, sometimes we think that marriage will help us and deliver us from the giant, and find out that marriage encourages it in some situations. You have to get it killed. You cannot hide behind marriage. You cannot hide behind being single. You cannot hide anywhere in the flesh. There is no hiding place. Numbers 33:51, …When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; 52Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures… He is talking about pornographic pictures, pictures of their gods that they had. …and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places. Hallelujah! These high places were groves where they had sacramental fornication as part of the sacrament that they had to give to this god. God Almighty said that when you go into the land, don’t preserve those groves, don’t preserve those pictures. But my God, we are here, and in the midst of the moving of God, a picture of this destruction flashes right before you. Pray to God right now. Let the Blood of Jesus Christ come upon this thing. And in the name of Jesus we command Satan to leave our midst. We command the spirit of pornography, the porno spirit. Amen. We command this spirit to leave now. Hallelujah! Amen! Praise be to God! Amen.
For years, this spirit held on to my family. For years this thing held on. And while we were praying, we saw this Indian goddess with six arms, and this thing was just striking, striking this young man – just beating him – all six arms. It was just like a mechanical thing was beating him in his face. He wanted to fight back. He wanted to win. He was trying to fight but there was no hope for him. We called on the name of the Lord. It took a long time before God intervened and broke it out, but let me tell you something – as Sister Sue said, you don’t have to wait to die to get rid of this thing.
I went to God and said, “Kill me, God. I want to die now. I am not going to eat one morsel until you set me free. If you don’t set me free, then take me home! I am not going to live with that devil one more minute.” Amen. Yes – I was not going to live with that devil one more minute, and I stopped eating. I stopped eating in April. April is always my worst month. I am sure that they did crucify Jesus in April, because when April comes it is terrible. I did not eat that month, and I was so weak, I fell in the bed and I got pneumonia, and I started vomiting blood. They tried to give me something to eat and I refused. They tried to give me a little thing in my mouth, a liquid, but I said, “NO! No food, no water! I want to die. Unless God Himself intervenes, I must die. I am not going to live with lust ANYMORE!” No more!
You must have the will to do it now. As I said, Sister Sue came up here and she said what happened to George’s father – when he got to a point that he actually entered into a place with God, and he came back. Hallelujah! And when Manoah saw God, he said, “Oh God, I am going to die now because I have seen God.” And God said, “No, you won’t die” (Judges 13). That means that God has a place where you can see God and LIVE. God can intervene in your life and deliver you. Hallelujah!
Yes, some of us are hiding behind the woman, hiding behind the wife. The wife is hiding behind the husband. If it were not for the husband or the wife, you would have been taken by this spirit. Amen. But we are hiding. THERE IS NO HIDING IN THE FLESH ANY MORE! THERE ARE NO HIDING PLACES! It said KILL ALL THE INHABITANTS IN THE LAND!!!
You know, sometimes you look and you say, “Oh, but that was cruel.” “That was rough.” It was not cruel. It was a spiritual disease that would destroy the whole human race. God said, “Wipe them out. I create and I destroy.” Those who were to go to heaven, God would take them in. Those who were to go to hell, God would take them in. As a matter of fact, at that time, everybody went to hell, because Jesus Christ had to come to take them out of hell.
But the fact is, God says, “Destroy from the land! I’m taking you into a land. I’m taking you into a new place. You cannot go in that place with the sins that you have out here.” You must be free. You can’t preach the gospel without being free. Amen.
I saw one brother, I mean, I am talking things out of school, but let me tell you, this brother was part of the church where we were. He was one of the high men in the church. I don’t remember if he was a bishop or what, but he did not overcome lust. He could not resist the women in the church, the poor women who were weak, they could not resist, and so he got involved. The church found out, they caught him and tried him, and they kicked him out. Do you know what he did? He went and started his own church. He was the big shot now. He has one of the biggest churches in the United States now, and he is still carrying on. Is he wicked and bad? He can’t help himself. He never did get deliverance from that spirit. Amen.
I fasted until I came to a point of vomiting blood, coughing, and taking nothing at all. I lost all strength and was not able to get up off of the bed. I could hardly open my eyes. I had to make an effort to open my eyes. My eyes were sunken down and all that was left there was a skeleton. God had been coming to me every day and showing me where I was going up the hill. Amen. One day after forty days had passed over, He showed me, “Well, you have made it.” On that day, He sent my brother, who had been searching for me for a whole month. He found me up in a mountain, lying down in this condition. God told him to bring one bottle of cod liver oil malt. That was what he brought, and that was exactly what I needed. That was the first nourishment that I took.
But then, I WAS SET FREE. Amen. Now, after being set free, do you know what happened? Any time that you get set free, you get tested. So I was tested. One night I was in my bed, lying fast asleep, very tired after working all day in the field. In those days, we would go out and work in the fields. Any brethren who had a field, all the brethren would work, plant the corn, weed the ground, do that. I was so tired I just fell asleep and that was the night when Satan decided to take me. Amen. That was the night when the sister came and laid down on top of me. AND that was the night that I didn’t have any feelings. It was repulsive to me. Amen. Satan made a move, but he was late.
Let us surrender to God now. You know, I have been reading the Old Testament, and it is such a power. God said, “You are My property. I have brought you unto Myself as a peculiar people. You cannot do as you like.” Amen. In the Name of Jesus Christ I want us all to begin to cast out the devils, right now. Hallelujah! I want us to begin to cast out the devils. Do you have something to say, sister?
Mrs. Mekuria:
Yes. I almost did notwant to come to the altar because I thought it was not my problem. But I have another giant, the spirit of anger. I thought I am a kind, good person, but I have been tested and failed many times. So when you pray now, it is not only one giant, there are other giants, too. We have to be free, so every other giant that we have here, we really have to get rid of it and move on. I don’t want this spirit to destroy our family, and I see it getting stronger and stronger. I’m bringing up a little one, so I want to be free.
Brother duCille:
Amen! Yes! Amen! Notice that this enemy that we are talking about comes through the emotional door. He comes through the emotional door, and if you can’t control your anger, it is a devil. It is a demon that is in you, and must come out. Hallelujah! And so it is, let us cast the fire of God upon this situation at this time. I want every person – you well know what your problem is – begin to tell God right now that you want this thing out and it must come out right now. In the name of Jesus Christ we are casting out the devils of lust, we are casting out the devils of anger. We are casting out every emotional devil, for this is the temple of the living God, and in this temple, God must dwell. We command it in the name of Jesus Christ that the yoke be broken, that we would be set free at this moment.
God Almighty, we are committed to you by covenant – we will die now. Let us die now, my God. Hallelujah! Let us not live any longer in sin and unrighteousness. While we have the glory of God, we still have sin bothering us, sin, wherein a devil has a right over us. Satan, in the name of Jesus Christ, we take away from you the right, we take away from you every right. THIS PEOPLE belongs to God. They have come through the fire, and they are coming unto Zion, and you shall not stand in the way anymore. LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, put Your fire upon this devil, upon these devils, these satanic creatures that oppress your people. LORD GOD, we command it! We command it! By the Blood of Jesus Christ. In the Name of Jesus, let it be done. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praise be to God! Let there be LIGHT! And there was LIGHT! Let there be deliverance, there be deliverance at this moment. Let the people of God be set free. In the Name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus – Lord God, we surrender to You! We surrender to You at this moment, that we might be free. Hallelujah! We will not live one day longer with this devil in our emotions. LOOSE! In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to leave the people of God.
THESE ARE MY PEOPLE! They are NOT your people. They are the PEOPLE OF GOD.
In the name of Jesus leave them! I command it in Jesus’ name. Hallelujah! We break your yoke. Hallelujah! In the name of Jesus. Amen. Praise God! Hallelujah! Loose! Hallelujah!
Well, if you feel – proclaim your liberty! Those of you who feel that God has indeed touched you – you are free now – proclaim your liberty!
