One Thing God Will Never Do for You

Posted in Christian Walk, tagged , , , , , on June 18, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Scripture reading: Exodus 20:1

We have been talking about coming out of our country.  God said to Abraham, “Get thee out of thy country…”  And He is saying the same to us.  But, there is something else in this verse from Genesis 12:1 that is very peculiar.  God said, “Get thee out…and from thy kindred (from your family).”  What does it mean?  He is talking about the host of spirits that govern your family.

Let’s say, for example, that you come from Kenya.  In that case, you have a Kenyan heritage of spirits; all the hoodoo men that have been in your family coming from way down—they come up to you.  God says that you must stop them by coming out from your kindred.  Now, we are not talking about you physically coming out.  Physically coming out might help a little, but we are talking about you spiritually coming out of your kindred and from your father’s house.  There are certain spirits that governed your father’s house; when your father came to Jesus, he stopped them and gave them a blow, but they came to you. 

Let me tell you this: Every disobedient child goes right back to the ancient spirits that rule their whole family.  Do you know why?  Because God says that He will visit the sins of the fathers unto “…the third and fourth generation of them that hate me” (Exodus 20:5).  In other words, “…to them that are disobedient to Me.” 

Glory to God!  GET OUT of your country and from your kindred.  REJECT the rulership of the spirits that ruled your family.   Tell the spirits that they have come to their Waterloo and that they are at the point where they will be destroyed! 

Do you know what happened when I got saved?  I was the first one in my family that got saved.  Spiritually speaking, I was a very violent person.  I know this because the spirits tell me that I am violent.  I was merciless.  I would get hold of a spirit and say, “In the Name of Jesus Christ, I condemn you to the abyss!  GO!”  So, they were being murdered.  That is what the spirits said, “You are a murderer.”  I murder spirits!  Isn’t that wonderful?

I tell you, the spirits even sent some brethren to me.  They said, “Brother duCille, we think you are doing wrong, because when the demoniac came before Jesus, the spirits asked Jesus not to cast them into the abyss, but to cast them into the pigs; and Jesus had mercy on them.  It is not right for you to be casting spirits into the abyss.”  I asked Jesus, “What is this?” and the Lord gave me an answer to give them.  I said to them, “How long ago was that?”  They said, “Nearly two thousand years ago.”  I said, “Well, the time must come for them to be cast into the abyss!  They were saying to Jesus, ‘It is too early.  Give us a break.’  Jesus agreed.  It was too early, because if Jesus had cast all the spirits into the abyss, there would be none left to torment you.”  I believe that the time has come for us to stop these spirits from bothering our families. 

The Bible said, “GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY, AND FROM THY KINDRED.”  Do not be a duCille anymore.  Do not be what you are any more.  REJECT IT!  FORSAKE IT!  TURN TO GOD! 

Are you able to do it?  I will give you a secret.  This is one thing that God will never do for you.  YOU have to do it.  God will not reject the demons that rule your family on your behalf.  You have to do it and let me tell you brethren, they are strong!  But God said, “Get out of it.”  Say, “I REJECT IT!”  Reject it!  Fall to your knees.  Bow before God!  Amen! 

“Get thee out of thy father’s house…And I will make of thee a great nation.” 

The promise is to you.  God was saying to Abraham, “The promise is to you and to your children and to everyone that the Lord God shall call.”  The promise is yours!  We do not have to be crawling on the ground any more.  It is time for the church to rise up and for you to take your place before God!

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, July 1998, pg. 9-11)

Thought for today: Are you on the right track rejecting the spirits that have held your family for generations?  Rise up and give the devil a fresh blow!

The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail

Posted in Spiritual Warfare, tagged , , , on June 4, 2011| 1 Comment »

Scripture reading: Matthew 16:13-20

The Bible records in Matthew 16:16-17 that when Peter said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God,” Jesus answered him and said, “Blessed art thou…for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”  Then, it says that Jesus went on to say in verse 18, “…I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” 

What He said is very peculiar, for He did not say the “armies of hell,” but He said the “gates of hell.”  You do not attack people with your gate.  You do not do that unless you are in a defensive position and the people are attacking your gate.  What Jesus actually said was that when the Christians move to attack, hell’s gates will not stand!  Amen! 

We saw the example of it with Samson.  We read in Judges 16 that Samson got up at midnight while there were men behind the wall waiting for him.  They were ready to jump him as he came through the gate.  But by the time he got to the gate, the Spirit of God fell on him and he rushed upon the gate and took it off.  It was nothing short of an earthquake for the men who were behind the gate.  Samson shook the whole gate, pulled it backwards and out at the roots. 

He was not that tall.  You might be thinking that Samson was a man-mountain and that he lifted up the gate off its hinges.  No!  No!  He pulled the gate out at the root, going backwards, and the men who were lying in ambush behind the wall fled for their lives. 

Now Samson, in that section of the story, is a type of the Body of Christ that will rise at midnight out of the harlot’s house, out of the place of spiritual harlotry!  Out of the place of mixture!  Mixture!  Mixing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the works of the devil.  Mixing it with the words of the devil: half right/half wrong!  Three-quarters right/one quarter wrong!  You know what I am saying!  God is going to redeem us from the harlot’s house by the Spirit of God falling on the Church at midnight. 

I will tell you the secret.  You cannot, overnight, get up and get the power of God to bring down the kingdom of the devil.  Do you hear me?  You cannot overnight just get up and say, “I am going to bring down the kingdom of Satan.”  God did say you are going to bring it down, but it is not an overnight action.  To understand what God is saying, look at the example when you take a gun in your hands.  Let us say that you take a nine-millimeter gun and fire it.  What happens inside of that gun?  The first thing that gets the shock is the gun!  The gun gets the shock (the recoil) of the bullet before the bullet can go forward to hit the enemy.  If you do not have the fortitude in you, then how do you expect to overcome a devil with your words?  Do you understand what I am saying, brethren?  We will get help from God, but God wants us to be in a position to fight back.

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, January 1997, pg. 7-9)

Thought for today: Let us use the circumstances we find ourselves in to gain our strength in God and rise into a position where we will be able to attack the gates of hell and they shall not prevail against us.

War on the Saints

Posted in Spiritual Warfare, tagged , , , , , , , on May 27, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Scripture reading: Revelation 12:7-11). 

In every type of warfare, in order to be effective and to win, one must know the enemy.  There are two basic tricks that Satan plays on humanity:

1.  He appeals to the carnal mind to deny his existence and hides his work to convince the carnal mind that it is just natural and sometimes coincidental.  He did it to Eve, and tried it with Jesus. 

2.  He intimidates some, convincing them of the greatness of his prowess.

The time has come as never before in the history of mankind for the saints to fight and to overcome the devil.  In the heat of the battle, when one is oppressed with all manner of circumstances and what seems to be coincidences, one is apt to think, “Why me?”  When, however, we understand the nature of the battle, we will rejoice at the wonderful implications which it portends. 

The first glorious implication that we will deal with in the passage of scripture from Revelation 12 is that portion where it is written, “…neither was their place found any more in heaven.”  If we rightly assume that the word “heaven” in this rendition is speaking of the kingdom of God and that this dimension of the kingdom is referring to the kingdom within us (Ref. Luke 17:21), then this verse would be saying that Satan and his angels had a place in us, but that at some time in the history of the Church they will lose that place.  If then, time is so far spent that we are at the end of the sixth day and within a few short years the seventh day or seventh millennium must dawn, then it is now time for us to be totally delivered from every evil spirit of darkness. 

In order to achieve this, there must be a travail (Revelation 12:2).  The travail of the Church is the war that we are experiencing at this time.  The only pattern that this attack has is that it is satanic.  The war has no boundaries, nor venue.  The enemy is using every element, every devil, and every person who can be used against us.  The war is total.  Every weakness, which in time past was permitted to lodge within us and had a place in us, is being exploited and there is no place to hide.  The families are under attack as never before.  The children are under attack as never before.  The husbands who could hide their weakness behind the skirts of their wives are being exposed and the wives who were hiding behind the masculinity of their husbands are being exposed.  Our only hiding place now is in Christ. 

Sin has lost its hiding place in us.  Only true repentance will set us free from imbibed or besetting sin, for now is the time when the fullness of salvation shall come to us.

(Excerpt from The Omega Message, December 1991, pg. 1-2)

Thought for today: Let us fall before the Lord and repent before Him from every sin which doth so easily beset us so that we may find our hiding place in Christ.
