God bless you whānau. Elite warrior activists. Kia ora. Glory, glory, glory.
Well, for those who are watching, Francis, kia ora Francis, all the way from Christchurch.
Kia ora. Miriama. Hallelujah. Well, I'm coming live from Christchurch right at the moment,
Klaudia. Kia ora. And I'm doing a two-day warrior activist course down here in Christchurch. And it
is freezing. But the fire of God is here, so that's all good. So tonight, that's why we're
coming early, six o'clock right now, because I have to be back at the church. And I start tonight
at 7.30 and go through to 9.30, doing the sessions with the warrior activist course. So talking about
the Treaty tonight, and that's gonna be great. So I arrived down here in Christchurch yesterday,
and we started the warrior activist course today at 9 o'clock, and it goes through to 3.30 p.m.
Then we have a break, and I go back at 7.30 to 9.30. So those of you who are watching, if you
have never done a two-day warrior activist course, it is incredible. And I'd encourage you to get
on board one of the warrior activist two-day courses, because I get to do, at that course,
I get to show you and to train you and to release you into a supernatural anointing that I can't do
as well online. What you're getting online is amazing, it's powerful, and it's bringing fruit
in your life, and it's wonderful. But if you can ever get to a two-day warrior activist course in
the nation, come along, join up, sign up, and you want to do it. It'll change your life forever. So
this morning so far, I've prayed over and parted to about 10 people so far at least. Power of God
comes upon them. They just have incredible encounters with God. I was praying for one
lady today, and just as I was standing there, I just felt the presence of God just, boom, just
touch her. And I wasn't praying for healing, but healings just take place anyway. I was praying
for an impartation. God was lifting off some mama. He's lifting off some guilt and some shame. And
as he is lifting this guilt and shame off her, boom, she was healed. I don't know, she had something
off the sciatic nerve with her leg. It's either been days or weeks she hasn't been able to walk
properly, and boom, she was just instantly healed. She's lifting up her leg and jumping around the
room, and it was just amazing just to see. So yeah, so that's warrior activists down here in
Christchurch. And so the second thing I want to say, kia ora to everybody, and big tautoko to all
those of you who are sending in homework reports. To date, there are 78 testimonies of miracles,
of healings, of encounters that you guys are doing out there in the nation. I mean, some incredible
miracles, healing of people being healed of conditions that they've had in their bodies
for years. And you guys are out there being a river for Jesus. You know, it talks about that
God will make a way in the desert and rivers in the wilderness.
But unless we go out there and allow the rivers of living water to flow out of us,
unless we put dewey dewey to our hui hui, then those rivers don't flow, right? But you guys are
out there, and you're releasing the rivers of God, and we're seeing people healed, having people
delivered, people having encounters with God, people coming to Jesus. One lady said, one sister,
she said she laid hands on her dog, and the dog had a lump on its back, which the vet didn't know
what it was, and she laid hands on this lump on her dog's back. The lump literally disappeared
under her hand. Look at that. Even the creation, even the animals are being blessed by you guys.
That's a meki. So thank you, you guys, for going out there and doing your homework and applying
what you're learning. Some of you are praying for people overseas who have been touched by the
power of God overseas. So awesome. Tautoko you all, and thank you very much for doing your homework.
So this is week number seven. Can you believe it? Week number eight is coming up next week.
That will be our last session of Elite Warrior Activist Course. I'm a bit sad about that, but it's
Impartation for Deployment. So let me talk to you about next week.
Let's see. Impartation for Deployment next week. So next week, I'm going to do something I've
never done before. I'm going to do online impartation. Okay, so I'm going to, if you were,
if you were at a meeting, at a physical meeting, I would get you to step into the presence of God
individually, and I would release an impartation of you individually. Obviously, I can't do that
here because, you know, we don't have that physical contact, but I'm going to do something
online and I trust the Holy Spirit will honour that. And I said at the beginning of this course
that I was going to prophesy over every person on the course. I have to make a confession and I have
to make an apology. Usually, the Warrior Activist course, I don't have any more than between 20-30
maximum on a Warrior course. That's why I can prophesy over that amount of people. 20-30 people
is a push, but 20-23 people I will pray impartation over. Do you know how many on this course right now?
Over 80. And it's just physically impossible for me to have 80 words of knowledge, 80 prophetic
impartations over each one individually. So I want to apologize. I'm not going to be able to do that,
you know. The first session, I began to prophesy over several people, and then when I saw the list
just grow, grow, grow, grow from 20, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60. And so physically impossible
for me to pray impartation and prophesy over that amount of people. But I tell you what,
next year if you join up and come along to one of my two-day Warrior Activist courses,
you will get the impartation. And so if you're interested in that, let me know and I'll send
you the details, and you can prepare yourself for next year. Or if I'm in your town, you know,
if there's enough people in your town, your city, I will do a Warrior Activist course this year. But
it's looking pretty busy at the moment. I don't know, I might be coming back to Christchurch
in September. So anyway, ke te pai. So what do you have to do between now and next? What's your
homework? Well, let's see, your homework is, this is, next week is our last, it's week eight.
Your homework is, whānau, keep releasing the presence of God. Okay, we're trying to develop
this lifestyle. Second thing is, next Thursday, would you fast? Okay, would you fast? If you can,
fast breakfast, fast lunch, fast dinner. If you can't fast all three, miss a meal. Fast one meal,
if you can, next Thursday. And so when it comes to the impartation on Thursday night,
there's that, you're going to be able to use that spiritual dimension to react,
release that impartation to you. Ke te pai. Cool. Right, tonight we've got quite a bit to go
through. As soon as I finished here, I'm going to jump in my car, leave the hotel and go down
to Grace Vineyard Church and do another two-hour Warrior Activist course down there. And I think
we've got close to 30 people at that, which is a huge course, a lot of people, usually only do 20,
25. So tonight I'm talking on the Treaty of Waitangi, the Fivefold, and what God is doing
in our nation, and how we can work together as Māori, Pākehā, Pasifika, Asia, how we can work
together and help bring about that bicultural, which will lead to multicultural unity. That's
what I'm speaking about tonight in Christchurch at a Warrior Activist. But tonight we're speaking
about Warrior, Sons, Fear No Evil, and Walk in Your Identity as a Son of God. Ka pai. So,
so, got your notes? My notes are upside down actually. So anyway, if you've got your notes
there, what, chapter six, okay, Warrior, Sons, Fear No Evil. So there's a big long spiel there.
I don't need to read it to you. Let me tell you what happened. In 1990, I think it was December,
December or November 1990, just probably about three months, two to three months before we came
up to Gisborne from Ōamaru. And so there was a man in Ōamaru that I was trying to lead to Jesus.
I was trying to help him. He was having difficulties in his marriage and
And actually they were separated and she had a protection order out against him because
he's quite violent.
And anyway, at the time I think she was having an affair with somebody and so he was very
angry.
He was a very violent man, ex-gang member, and he was also a martial artist.
So I'd befriended him and I was just being an heir to him and just helping him to find
Jesus so that he'd learn to get over this grief and this heartache and I would like
to try and bring them together.
So I was working with this guy, I'd been working with him for a few weeks, and his wife lived
down the road from our house, five houses down the road from our house.
And one night after church on a Sunday, we heard bang bang on the door, on our door after
church Sunday, we were having a cup of tea, and there was one of our sisters from the
church was standing there and she had the wife of this guy's trying to help, and the
wife is just hanging on to our friend.
And something's happening, I said, what's happening?
And so our Christian friend, she says, quick, quick, and I won't tell you his name, but
she said, he stabbed, he stabbed her.
And I said, who?
And she told me the name of this guy that I'm trying to help.
And so I opened up the door and got them inside and, and the woman, she's just blood coming
out all over her body.
So we sit her in a chair and it's just, you can smell the blood.
And I said, what's happening?
And she said, her husband, he said, her husband came in to the room or a partner came in and
she said, you're not allowed here, get out of here.
And he said, I just want to talk to you.
And he pulled out a knife and he started stabbing her.
He said, so she said, I ran outside, I knocked on the neighbor's doors, trying to get help,
no one opened the doors.
And then, then I saw this lady come staring out.
And so I brought her straight up here.
I said, where is he now?
She said, he's upstairs, the kids are in the house and he's gone upstairs to where the
kids are.
And so, so this woman, she's bleeding, she's been stabbed and she's sitting in our seat.
This guy is upstairs with the knife, with her kids.
And so I rang the police and they, and then the ambulance came and the armed defender
squad came and they cut up, they cordoned off the street.
Now this was only a few weeks after the Awamawana massacre.
And so, um, so the police came up and, and what happened was that, um, the Holy Spirit
said to me, Norm, get ready because I'm going to send you down to that man.
And I said, oh yeah, well you better send angels, Lord, because you know, this is, this
guy's running around with a knife.
And so the ambulance came and they came to our house and they, they, they, this woman,
they just put her on the stretcher and they just ripped off all her clothes.
I mean, it was pretty graphic and, um, and she had blood coming all over her body.
She had been stabbed 19 times and she'd been stabbed right through her neck into the jug
levate and the paramedics, they said three more minutes and she'd be dead.
They said, we just got to her on time.
And so she got rushed away to hospital and I went outside and I was praying outside and
church was praying and the Holy Spirit says, get ready.
You're going to go down and you're going to go down and speak to him.
I said, I don't know what to say, God.
And about an hour later, a cop walked up my driveway and he said, are you Pastor Norm?
I said, yep.
He said, look, this guy, he won't talk to the Maori, he won't talk to kaumatua, he won't
talk to the Maori, to the, uh, to the police negotiator.
He said he's upstairs and the kids are in a room next door up the top of the stairs
and we can't get to him and he's got a knife and it's like a hostage situation.
His daughter is in the room next door.
We can hear her making noises, so we know that she's okay and, uh, but we can't rush
up there and we, and, and we can't get to him because he's got the knife and we're afraid
that he will go in and he might stab her.
So it's a hostage situation and, uh, and we've got a negotiator at the bottom of the stairs
speaking to him.
Would you come?
I said, why would you want me here?
And the cop says, because he's asking for you.
He's talked to Pastor Norm.
So I said, okay, yeah, I'll be here, I've been waiting for you, let's go.
So I walked down to the, walked down to the house and walked into the house and the armed
defender squad were there and they couldn't get their gun on him.
Otherwise they would've just taken him out because it was a hostage situation.
He'd already stabbed his wife 19 times.
They knew if he goes in there that he'll probably kill his daughter.
And so they're going to try and, you know, take him out, uh, I guess to save her life.
And I understand.
Fair enough.
So I walk into the house and as I walk in the kitchen, I mean, there's cops everywhere.
where there's dogs running around and they're like ninjas that are climbing on the roof
trying to get in there but they can't and the wall is covered with blood I mean I'll
never forget the whole wall just covered with blood where the woman was stabbed the blood
just blew everywhere it was like nightmare and I'm walking in and there's the police
negotiator standing at the bottom of the stairs looking up talking to this guy when I got
to the stairs and looked up I saw this guy my friend and he was demon possessed and he
wasn't a person he was possessed this demon had taken hold of his body his eyes had turned
to the back of his head he just had the whites of his eyes and he's standing there staring
down the stairs screaming and he had this knife and it was a long knife and he was stabbing
himself in the stomach and stabbing himself in the throat I'm watching this and my ear
and blood is gushing out and he's screaming and noises are coming out of his throat now
this is graphic but this is this is this is reality whanau this is the darkness that
Jesus came to invade and so as this guy's screaming and and just manifesting I'm looking
up and I have no idea what to do you know I have no idea what to do so I said God what
do I do and the Holy Spirit said you speak in tongues and you speak really loud in my
mind I thought but what if what will people think and he said if you don't do this someone
is going to die tonight so that was enough for me so I just lifted my hand up and I just
began to speak in tongues and I was thinking well at least it sounds like Māori they might
think I'm speaking Māori hey so as I spoke in tongues the power of God hit this guy and
his the whites of his eyes came back and he just you know his eyes went back to normal
he looked down at me he saw me he recognized me he went Norm Norm I says bro Steve oops
gave you his name bro and I began to speak to him as I spoke in tongues I I think I got
an interpretation and I began to speak to him with wisdom that I don't have and as I
spoke to him the wisdom got to him and he nearly dropped the knife but anyway something
happened and he got angry again and he took the knife up and he started stabbing himself
in the heart I watched this yeah he must have stabbed himself at least I don't know at least
ten times while I was watching and he couldn't die he just couldn't die and the poor police
negation is standing next to me he's going he'd go away and have a chuck he'd have a
chunder and the only reason I didn't I'm just under the grace of God I just whoa so God
said speak in tongues I'm back in tongues and he came back to normal and then the demon
lost its power and I how did I know because his hand opened and the knife fell out fell
onto the onto the steps and so at that point I ran up the stairs and you know what when
I saw him I just hugged him just the aroha mai just the love I just felt compassion for
this guy who had just stabbed his wife 19 times I didn't know that the well let me reframe
let me just rewind a bit when I was talking to Steve before I went before he dropped the
knife before I ran upstairs I could hear the sound of a little girl in the room and he
said to me that's my stepdaughter it's not my daughter and so I said well what have you
done he said it's too late Norm if I can't have them no one will have them I said what
have you done he said I don't know how the cops didn't hear that but he said I've killed
her he said I've killed her his daughter who's next so that they could hear the stepdaughter
not the daughter and what he had done now this is graphic you want to block the ears
maybe he'd cut her throat and this little girl is lying in there with her throat cut
and it's a stepdaughter still making noises so the cops think that she hasn't touched
the little girl they don't know there's two girls up there so I hear this and it's like
the cops it's like God blocked the ears because they would have just shot him so he said if I
can't have them no one will so in his mind he's killed he thinks he's killed his wife he doesn't
know she's just been saved but he stabbed her 19 times he's just cut his little girl's throat
and now he's trying to kill himself and he can't die now warrior sons fear no evil it's not because
I'm bold it's not nothing to do with me it's the presence of God on me though we yay though we
walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil for thou with me your rod
and your staff comfort me it is the grace of God is not Norm of being a big bold warrior it is the
grace of God on me and so I know what's happened and I says right God gave me wisdom I spoke to me
dropped the knife so
I ran up, hugged the guy, then I ran into the room and I saw the little girl lying in
her bed.
She's lying there and her throat is cut and it's wide open, literally, and I'm looking
down at this little darling.
She's alive, she's blinking, her eyes are looking at me and they're blinking.
And so I says, God, don't let her die.
Have mercy, Jesus.
Our church was praying, we prayed over her.
I prayed over her.
The cops came up behind me.
They saw him.
They came in, they saw the little girl.
As soon as they saw the little girl and they saw him, I tell you, they were just so angry.
If I wasn't there, I think they would have shot him.
And you know what?
I understand.
I understand how they would have felt.
It was only the grace and the love of God in me that I knew that there's something deeper
than this.
So we prayed over the little girl.
They took the little girl, they rushed her to Dunedin to emergency, but the word got
back that she's not going to make it, there's too much damage done, and that she won't make
it.
And so all that sort of bad news, you know what they're like.
So they handcuffed the guy.
At that stage, the guy allowed the demon to come back at him.
He wouldn't talk.
So they took him down to the cells and I got in the car and went down with him.
And I sat there and I won't tell you the whole story, but, and then they went up to
the, took him up to the hospital and I sat in the surgery with the doctor and the doctor
counted 20 stab wounds and the doctor took x-rays and he said, it's a miracle.
This man should be dead.
There are five stab wounds in his heart, but every wound has missed the main arteries.
He says he should be dead.
And in his stomach, he's missed the main arteries.
It's 20 stab wounds and the man is still alive.
And so what happened out of that, that he got shipped down to Dunedin, Rehman prison,
and I prayed over some clothes that went in for him and we used them as prayer cloths.
And so this is what happened.
The next, so that, that was the, I don't know, Friday, Saturday night, no, it was Sunday
night actually.
So the Monday I went down to Dunedin hospital to see the little girl, to pray for the little
girl, to intercede for the little girl, which they said, no, she's not going to make it.
As I got down there, the priest had just come out not long ago and did the last rites.
And yeah, it was, yeah, that was the night before.
And so I went down there and I, and I stayed at the hospital and I wanted to go and see
the little girl and they said, yes, Mr. MacLeod, come through.
So this is the next morning.
God is amazing.
So I walk into the children's ward and there's this little girl sitting up, her neck's all
stitched up and she's reading a book, drinking a milkshake, like nothing's ever happened.
It's like God blanked it all out of her and she's just, la la la la, it's still amazing.
So thank you, Jesus.
He saved this beautiful little girl.
He saved the woman's life and the guy that went to prison, it was a fortnight later I
was able to see him and I did not recognize this fellow when he's walking towards me.
And because he looked light, he didn't have this darkness on him.
And then I realized it was the guy and it's because we prayed over his clothes that the
power of God had gone into him and he sat down and he acknowledged all that he'd done.
He didn't try to hide it.
He didn't, he said, no, he deserves what he gets.
He says, I've turned to Jesus, so while I was in here, I've turned to Jesus.
And so, so that was, you know, the ending wasn't the best, but that's what happened.
His mother did come to me and thank me for saving her son's life.
And what's, what, what am I talking about, warrior sons, warrior sons, warrior daughters.
We got to be prepared to go where others have never been before.
You know, when you say, God, just use me, use me, you know, I had no idea it was going
to be used in situations like that.
That was in Oamaru, that was in Oamaru before we went to Gisborne.
So I said, well, what was that about God?
Well, we got to Gisborne, you know what, what we saw in Oamaru, we saw that happen.
It was like preparation for Gisborne because we got to Gisborne and I tell you what, I
saw it again.
I saw stuff like this happening again.
I was involved with hostage situations or fights and stabbings and suicides and all
sorts of terrible, terrible things.
And, but God, you know, in your preparation time, you don't know you're being prepared,
you don't know God is preparing you to go at, He's preparing you to allow Jesus to flow
through you.
So, so, oh yeah, that was in Gisborne 1991.
Yeah.
So one of the first encounters I had when I got to Gisborne was two gang guys fighting
in front of a house of a lady who came to our church.
One had an knife and he's trying to kill this guy.
I'm standing in between.
them. And I think, I could get killed here. But you know, I
remember the God who called me down into Oamaru to deal with
that hostage situation. So I just lit up my prayers, God
help me, help God, Jesus. And he defused the situation. And they
got healed. They shook and no one got killed. So let's read
the scripture. Ready to read out loud the scripture. Psalm 91,
for he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in
all your ways. C.T. Studds said, let us not glide through this
world and then slip quietly into heaven without having blown the
trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us
see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in
hell when he gets the news of our departure from the field of
battle. Isn't that awesome? I love that. I love that. C.T.
Studds said, some wish to live within the sound of a church or
chapel bell. I want to run a rescue shop within a yard from
hell. Man, that's my... cheer bro. In much of the West, we live
in a world where suffering for Christ is unfashionable, where
Christians are more in pursuit of happiness than in the pursuit
of God. And I've discovered that the only people I can speak to
like warriors are warriors. Now, we're all created different. Not
everyone is created to live on the front lines or to operate
the way that we do. We are, as believers, we can all do the
same things that Jesus did. He told us we could. But I
understand that we're different giftings, different talents,
different abilities. And this is something that I'm called to.
Not everyone's called to this or to this degree. And catch a pie.
That's good. But we're all called to use what we have got
for the best outcome we can have, to invade darkness, to
bring the light of God and to invade darkness. We're all
called to be warriors, sons, warriors, daughters, and
whatever that darkness is. Now, I do it in an overt way. I'm an
extrovert in that sense. And that's the way I roll. That's
why God wired me. And I like war. I like going to war. Others
have a different personality, different nature, in order to
reach a different group of people that I can't reach. And
that's kaiti pai. So it's recognizing we're all different
in the body. And, you know, God, if this isn't your type of
ministry, being like that, kaiti pai, you don't have to try and
be like that. You just be who you are. And God will do the
best for you. And he uses me to do the best for me as he can, as
we recognize our parts in the body, and function in the
gifting that he gave us, that he entrusted to us to help bring
light into the darkness of people's lives. We are created
to operate behind enemy lines, not to hide behind the four
walls of the church. The God of this world is the devil. All
humans, therefore, are under the influence of the devil. They're
under, they're behind enemy lines. Those who don't know
Jesus, and that's most of the world, they're behind enemy
lines. By the power of sin, they're behind enemy lines. And
we're going to learn how to get behind enemy lines, as it were,
to infiltrate and to bring them out of enemy lines. So like
Joshua, turn over the page. Like Joshua, we were born, we
were born to go to places others have never been to, and to do
things others have never done. When it comes to pioneering, to
breaking through, to being a warrior, Joshua was called to
take 40,000 men of war prepared for battle. Okay, there was
about 3 million in Israel. Not everyone is called to go to the
fields of battle at the level they were called to do. Not
everybody watching this is called to go to the fields of
battle to the level I am called to do. But we are called to, in
some way, reach people for Jesus, to use our gift in the
field of battle that we're called to, to rescue them for
Jesus. So the army of 40,000, not all are pioneers. Okay, so
the warriors go when they pioneer, they break through. But
you need the other ministries to come in and to be settlers, to
settle, to bring the teachers and the pastors and to develop
and to settle a community of the kingdom. And while the
pioneers go and invade new ground and break through new
ground, so the settlers can come in and establish another
community of kingdom. And so it's like Joshua, he put
garrisons in Syria. And so the garrisons were representing the
kingdom of Israel. And it was Israel's rule that was
established in Syria. Well, it's like the kingdom of God. You
know, David goes in and he breaks through, he pioneers and
he takes possession of the land, but he has to bring in
another ministry to set up a garrison to the teachers and
the, I guess, the pastors to look after the people and to
bring the culture of Israel into that foreign land. And we
need to let pastors and teachers.
come in and bring the culture of the kingdom into the land of the new souls
that are saved and to establish kingdom churches so that the kingdom begins to
rule in that realm and that sphere and that and that whenua, that town, that city.
Does that make sense? Jesus didn't ask Peter, yeah, yeah, so there's a question.
Jesus didn't ask Peter how devoted or how faithful he was. He didn't ask
Peter if he would suffer for him. He simply asked Peter one question, do you
love me? So Jesus, he just asked me, do you love me? Would you do it for me?
I've been called to some great challenges over the years and as I
thought about it, but when Jesus just said to me, Norm, would you do it for me?
Sure, Lord, of course, I'll do it for you. And that's where this whole relationship
thing comes. If we just minister out of ministry for the sake of ministry,
we see ministry as a job, sometimes as a chore, sometimes, oh, I've got to do that, then
it becomes religion. It becomes a terrible thing. But we've got to realize
we're doing this out of relationship. We're doing this out of love. We're doing
this for a person. And when Jesus said to me, yeah, but will you do it for me? I said,
oh, of course, I'll do it for you. And that puts perspective back, doing the stuff
for Jesus. Do a sacrifice for Jesus. Paying a price, would you do it for Jesus?
Don't do it for me. Don't even do it for your church, in a sense, but do it for
Jesus. We'll do anything for Jesus, yeah? And so, you know, whatever you do,
do it to the glory of God. Do it with all your mind. Do you love me?
Ministry flows out of relationship, not the other way around.
Okay, who created Satan? Okay, this is an interesting question, isn't it?
God didn't create Satan. God created a beautiful, angelic being, and he called
him Lucifer. And Lucifer's role was to serve God in the courts of heaven.
Basically, Lucifer turned evil when he made the choice to fall in love with
himself. Okay, instead of loving God, he loved himself. And he thus corrupted
himself with pride and arrogance, which eventually led to the rebellion and
evil. And that is when his name was changed from Lucifer to Satan. And he was
cast out of heaven, Luke 10, 18, that Jesus said, I saw Satan fall like
lightning. He was cast out of heaven. There's other scriptures you can look up
in your own time, Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28, talks about the early days when Lucifer
walked on the stones in the garden. I mean, that was the king of Tyre is
actually, it's actually talking about Satan, Lucifer. And so Satan became Satan
not by God's creation, but by his own choice, by Satan's own choice, Lucifer
choosing to love himself. So God creates people in his image. God gives us a free
will to choose who we will become, what we will become. We can become Adolf Hitler
or we can become Mother Teresa, in that sense, you know what I'm saying.
It's choice. Every person has a choice. But God creates, everything God creates
is good. Every good and perfect gift comes from God. God doesn't create evil.
God didn't create Satan. He created Lucifer. Satan chose to be who he is.
God created you and me in his own image, and we chose to follow him. If we chose
not to follow him, then we become whatever we follow. And so, so that's, I'm
just giving a background, where did the devil come from? Because we need to know
that we follow Jesus, and we know that. And the darkness of this world, how do we,
we can't change it. But when people turn to Jesus, they become a light. And the
more people that turn to Jesus, the more light comes. And light is more powerful
than darkness. And so that's why we lead more people to Jesus, so that
this world becomes a better place, and God's kingdom is established in the
earth, so to speak. Authority stems from Sonship Identity. In this book, I spoke
of our identity in Christ being the source of our confidence in God, against
the works of the devil, against the giants in our life. And in this section, I
want to reveal to you the conquered position of the devil and his demons. And
so let's read Hebrews 2.10. Let's read this together.
Hebrews 2.10.
Romans 8, 9, 10.
The creation waits in eager anticipation, expectation,
for the sons of God to be revealed.
You know what?
I'm gonna skip and go down the bottom page there.
There's a mystery.
What is this mystery?
This mystery is that the enemy is conquered.
Do you realize?
Satan is judged.
He has already, okay, there's two judgments.
He's coming at judgment
when Satan will be cast down into the pit
and he'll be bound for a thousand years.
That's a judgment.
And then after the thousand years,
he's gonna be judged again and cast into the lake of fire.
And that's a second, well, that's another judgment.
But there's a judgment already on Satan
that took place when Jesus was walking the earth.
Okay, so let's go to page 35, turn over.
And it's where it says, sons face a conquered devil.
Okay, you there?
Sons face a conquered devil.
Imagine going to war against an enemy
that you knew that was literally,
you're facing your enemy, say you're in a boxing ring,
okay, and the guy in the ring, you know in advance,
he's got diarrhea, he's weak, he's terrified of you,
he doesn't wanna fight you,
and he knows that as soon as you just touch him,
he's gonna fall to the ground
because he's full of disease, he's weak,
he's sick, okay, imagine facing a defeated enemy.
Wouldn't that give you confidence knowing that,
man, I'm gonna waste you because he's already been wasted.
That's what Jesus has done to the devil.
Not you, Jesus has already wasted the devil.
Don't boast about how great you are
and how you're gonna take the devil,
and he will clean you up.
Jesus has beaten the devil.
Jesus has judged the devil.
That is the only reason you and I have authority
against the works of darkness,
and you gotta keep that balance.
You can be bold and yeah, yeah, yeah,
but don't be bold in who you think you are.
Our boldness is in what Jesus has done for us.
He has judged the devil on our behalf.
He has defeated the devil on our behalf.
We face a defeated foe.
We don't face a devil that's got power
because he's ruling over God's people.
We face a devil whose power has been taken from him
by the Son of God, and the Son of God, Jesus,
entrusts that power, entrusts that authority to his sons
to walk as he walked, 1 John 4, 17.
For as Jesus is, so are we in this world.
And so, the sons of God face a defeated devil.
Let's see, the present and coming judgments on Satan.
What do devils fear?
Matthew 8, 29, would you read this with me?
And suddenly they cried out saying,
what have we to do with you, Jesus, you son of God?
Have you come here to torment us before the time?
And so here's a demon screaming in terror
because Jesus walks in the room.
Wow.
The devil knows there's a judgment.
He says, have you come before the time?
So the devil, the demons, they all know there's a judgment
where they're gonna be cast down into hell for 1,000 years.
Then they're gonna be released,
and then they're gonna be judged again
and cast into the lake of fire forever.
There are two judgments to come,
but there's already a judgment that's come already.
Okay, let's go down to judgment time has come and is coming.
So John 9, verse 39, you're reading with me?
Let's read together.
And Jesus said, for judgment I have come into this world,
that those who do not see may see,
and that those who see may be made blind.
John 12, 31.
Now get your pen ready to fill it in.
Okay, there's a blank.
What do you mean to fill it?
Put in the word now.
Now, N-O-W.
Now is the judgment of this world.
Put it in now.
Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
That's what Jesus said 2,000 years ago.
He said, now is the judgment of this world.
Now the ruler of this world,
the ruler of Satan will be cast out.
Jesus put a judgment on the devil 2,000 years ago.
We'll look at that in a second.
Go down to the next scripture.
John 16, verse seven.
Let's read it.
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth.
It is for your advantage that I go away.
For I do not go away, the helper will not come to you.
But if I depart, I will send him to you.
And when he has come, he will convict the world of sin
and of righteousness and of judgment.
Of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
Write in judged.
Turn over the page.
Go down to where it says,
demons knew and feared Jesus' sonship in heaven.
The devil knew who Jesus was and he also knows who we are. We're sons of God.
Okay, we'll turn over the page again because we've got quite a lot to go through tonight.
You know what?
Turn over the page again.
Excuse me, Father.
Right.
Okay, Father, I want you now to go to chapter, take your notes on chapter 7.
Walk in your identity as a son of God.
Remember last week your homework was to read through the two chapters.
Warrior, sons, fear no evil and walk in your identity as a son.
So I've only done half chapter 6.
I'm now going on to chapter 7 because we're not going to have time to go through all of these chapters tonight.
I want us to go through chapter 7.
Walk in your identity as a son of God.
Okay.
It's a bit hickledy-pickledy tonight, but you can go through the rest of chapter 6 yourself.
But that's the primary parts I wanted to bring up.
This is the next part I want to bring up because I've got to shoot away to another warrior course at the moment.
When is the day of judgment for a son of God?
Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our sin has been judged and conquered and defeated.
Thank you, Jesus.
The works of the devil over our life have been judged, conquered and defeated by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Okay, let's go down to the scriptures there.
John 12, 31.
Would you read with me?
Now is the judgment of this world.
Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
John 16, 11.
Of judgment because the ruler of this world is judged.
The ruler of this world is the devil.
He's been judged.
This actually took place for us on a positional basis.
There's a blank there, put 2000.
2000 years ago.
However, under the positional, however, the positional only becomes reality when we receive and we walk.
W, W, it's got W there in the blank.
Walk, fill in the words.
Walk in it by F, faith.
The positional authority, the positional reality of the judgment, we receive it when we, only when we walk in it by faith.
So the judgment, the devil, his power being judged over that man standing at the top of the stairs, waving his knife.
The demon in his life, God had judged the devil's power.
And as a son of God, he gives me authority to take authority over the works of the devil.
And so God allowed me to use his authority through me to judge that enemy, bring judgment upon this.
Shut up, you devil.
No more death, death and hell.
Bow yourself down.
And we see that God rescued the woman, rescued the man and rescued the little girl because the devil has been judged.
His work's been judged already.
This is pretty revolutionary thinking for a lot of Christians.
Therefore, we have boldness today in the day of judgment.
The day of judgment for the devil and his works is any day a son of God turns up, we can bring those judgments of God upon the devil because he has already been judged.
Okay, turn over your page, please.
Okay, go halfway down to the page where it says this is why we can be bold because the day of judgment is every day.
Today, the devil's been judged.
The demons have been judged.
We're not going to have an argument whether they come out or not.
Just get out in the name of Jesus.
For he who knew no sin became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
And because we're now righteous, not sinners, the devil has no power over us.
The devil only had power over us because of sin.
But when Jesus gives us his righteousness, the devil's power over us is deactivated.
Now, you'll say, but what about that man?
He wasn't a Christian.
Yes, I know, but I'm a son of God.
If Jesus weren't there, he would have done the same.
All I did was the works Jesus did, I will do also.
All I did is what Jesus did.
Jesus went over the road, over the lake, to the gathering demoniac.
I mean, he wasn't a Christian.
He was crazy.
And he had 2,000 demons in him.
How do we know that?
Because the demons said, let us go into the pigs.
If you're going to cast us out, let us.
And there are 2,000 pigs ran into the water and drowned.
And so this man, after Jesus, cast the demons out, because Jesus has already judged the
work of the devil.
Even before he died, he said, now the judgment of the Lord comes.
I'm the boss.
I'm the son of God.
And these demons will bow down to me because they have no authority over me, because I'm
the righteous son of God.
So the demons had to obey Jesus.
You and I now, we are righteous sons of God.
Yeah.
You get that?
And as Jesus is, so are we in this world.
That's the boldness we have.
And so we're to walk and act like righteous sons of God and not just go around bossing
the devil and telling him what to do.
But when we come across assignments and there's demonic activity and God sent me, I mean,
I don't just go to anyone on the street or into the ward 11 or the psychiatric wards
and start trying to cast out demons.
If I have not been called there, I'm not going there.
I fight to win.
And to fight to win means you be led of the spirit.
You go where he calls you to go because the victory is the fact that he's already judged
and beaten.
And so you've got to be wise in this stuff.
Don't just go around trying to cast out demons out of people you haven't been called to.
Okay, so let's go down.
There's a, under Luke 10, 19, behold, I give you authority to trample on the serpents and
scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Now there's a, you've got to fill in a word here.
The day of J, what's that J?
Judgment.
Write it in.
The day of judgment for the devil is any day a son of God comes on the scene.
Don't be surprised if God brings you on the scene of a dark activity and you take authority
and you command in the name of Jesus Christ that thing to be broken, to go, to depart
and you watch God do the rest.
On John 4, 7, we read that, let's go down because, okay, fill in the gaps.
Because as he is, so are we in this world.
Fill in the gaps.
Because as he is, so are we in this world, in this world, not heaven here on the earth,
this world, the darkness ain't up there.
The darkness is here.
And so we need that authority here on this world.
The anointing's for here, not up there, it's for here.
If every son of God caught this revelation with their sonship identity, there'll be a
spiritual revolutions all over the earth.
You fight a conquered, defeated foe.
Turn over the page.
What's our attitude as sons?
Going down.
Luke 10, 19.
Okay.
I want you to fill in the gaps.
Jesus gave me authority, okay?
Write it in.
Jesus gave me authority over all the, P, power, over all the power of the, D, devil.
Write it in.
Praise you, Jesus.
Hallelujah.
You're awesome, Jesus.
You done that?
Okay.
Now, let's go down to the bottom.
Victory perspective in praying.
The demons of hell, death, and disease are already judged and defeated.
The diseases, afflictions, sicknesses, and pain are already healed.
The prisoner in the bondage is already free because Jesus has already judged the work
of the devil.
I'm not trying to, I'm not going to try to conquer the devils or heal the sick or free
the addict.
I'm not going to.
Jesus has already done it.
I don't have to fight the devil to win.
Jesus fought him, beat him, whipped him good.
I don't have to fight the demons.
So you know, spiritual warfare.
You don't have to fight a defeated foe.
You just have to know who you are.
You have to know your sonship, dominion, and authority.
Okay.
There's angel, this bottom, angel, oh this is, there's this woman and she was in the
Oamaru House of Breakthrough Church.
It was the first time she'd visited and she was sitting there and I was releasing the
power of God across the congregation and the Lord said, there are people here with mental
plates and with injuries in their body that I'm healing right now.
And as I said that, there was a lady sitting down the aisle and she started slapping her
cheek and she's going, oh my God, my God, and she's quite vocal and it was her first
time in church.
And then she's doing this to her shoulder.
So Jess went down and talked to her and this is what she said.
This girl said she's had an aggressive cancer in her cheek and she had a huge lump cut out
and there was another lump growing the size of a pea.
And she said, when he prayed, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone.
And then she's hitting her shoulder, she said, Oh my God.
She said, she's had a steel plate in her shoulder, she broke her shoulder years and years ago.
And she had a steel plate in her shoulder.
And she said, it's gone, it's gone.
And Jess said, how do you know it's gone?
She said, because I could feel it.
And it disappeared, you know, metal plate disappeared out of this.
So she's, so I went down and talked to her, and wow, that's amazing.
And she said, I'm going to go to the doctor and I'm going to tell him that Jesus took
my cancer.
Jesus took, I said, Taiho, Taiho, just settle down, use some wisdom.
How about just go to the doctor and just be humble, eh?
Because this doctor's an anti-Christ, he didn't like Christians, she said.
So I said, so you go and you just say, Doctor, could you give me a checkup, please?
And just sit there and let him confirm the miracle.
You don't have to, if God's done a miracle, you don't have to even testify about, let
him confirm the miracle.
So she went away to the doctor, and she said to me, something like this, when he checked
her, the lump, he says, wow, he says, what's happened?
And she just sniggered, and he checked her shoulder, and he went something like, my God,
what has happened?
And so she told him what happened at the meeting, that she said, I got prayed for, and this
is what's happened.
And look, I'm free.
And the doctor said, he was humble, because he acknowledged, well, it wasn't him, it wasn't
his medicine that did that.
And when a doctor says that, that's humility.
So see, this work of the devil, it has already been judged.
Cancer's been judged.
Leukemia's been judged.
And it's to get believers to believe that, whānau.
And sometimes, you know, we need to understand who we are, and that the devil's been judged.
He's got no right over us.
Get off.
So you wouldn't allow guilt and shame to plague your mind, because you know Jesus took your
guilt and shame, yeah?
So if guilt and shame, you know, you suddenly start feeling guilty and ashamed, and all
your past sins, you wouldn't put up with that in your soul, because, yeah, you know, you're
forgiven.
You know, Jesus is removed, as far as the East is from the West, it's gone.
Same with sickness.
We shouldn't allow sickness, pain, or disease into our bodies.
Doesn't matter how we feel.
He says, no, I refuse to accept you.
I'm not going to accept you.
You have been judged.
I decree judgment upon you.
I am healed.
I am free.
I have the victory.
Amen.
Right, huh?
What else?
Coming to a close.
Go over the page.
Okay, go over the page.
Know who you are.
Exodus 3, 11.
But Moses said to God, who am I that I should go to Pharaoh?
At the start of this session, one of the greatest things that robs God's sons of authority
and of confidence is identity.
The devil is into identity theft.
And you know, when God created Adam and Eve, they were already made in the image of God.
They were already like God.
And the devil said, no, if you eat of the tree God knows, you will be like him.
Well, they were already like him.
They were already made in the image of God.
So the devil distracted them from their own identity.
And so when Jesus goes into the wilderness and he's tempted for 40 days and 40 nights,
you know what he says?
The devil tries to attack him.
He tries to attack his identity.
If you're the son of God, turn the stone to bread.
If you're the son of God, jump off the temple.
See he tried to attack Jesus' identity and he'll try to rob you of your identity.
If you don't know who you are in God, then you're not going to have the confidence to
walk as a son of God.
And so know who you are.
You're a son of God.
Know who your enemy is.
The enemy has been defeated.
The enemy has been judged.
We stand before a defeated foe.
Just like Joshua and Caleb and all the 40,000 warriors, they were on their horses facing
off the enemy and they knew we are facing a defeated foe.
You guys, God has put judgment on the kings of Canaan.
He has put judgment upon your armies, undefeated armies, unconquered kings.
But Joshua knew, no, your time is up.
God has judged you.
You're on our whenua, time to get you off.
That's the type of warrior attitude that God wants us to have in our spirit about the works
of the devil.
David, when he faced Goliath, he knew he was facing a defeated foe.
He knew that Goliath was already done.
He's already dead.
God already put judgment upon him because Goliath wasn't just taunting Israel.
God was taunting the God of Israel.
When the devil taunts you, he's taunting God.
And God says, I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse those who curse you.
He said in Exodus 23, 20, I'll be an enemy to your enemies.
Adversary to your adversaries. I will cause your enemies to turn their backs to thee to you. Yeah, that's our God
Amen, and so if you go down the bottom of the page here final
Final one down there. You've got some blanks that in okay, so
Let's read that scripture x19
Let's read it together ready and the devil and this evil spirit answered and said I Jesus I know and Paul
I know but who are ye and the man in whom the evil spirit was
Leapt on him and overcame them and prevailed against him so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded
Okay, fill in the blanks the name
the name of Jesus
Is above the name of every
Name
Okay, fill in the name of Jesus is above the name of every name
List disease you are aware of okay fill in the blanks. Jesus is a
Jesus is above
All the names of
These diseases so you write a list of diseases that little bit of paper and then
Look down below and write it. Jesus is above all the names of these diseases
Okay, fine, I'm gonna leave it there gotta go
And so there's some quite
Fiery teaching there. You're going to go through chapter 8 warrior sons awaken to your identity
What I've spoken to you about what I have shared with you
Is to help awaken you to your identity
Identity
Identity comes when you get that revelation from God. Okay, I can encourage you in it, but you can only get it from your father
He's your father. You're his son
Inheritance is a past from fathers to sons fathers to daughters
that's inheritances go down and the natural and in the spiritual so
And go over these notes. Just go over them. Let it settle. There's a lot of stuff there this now I did
Two studies in just an hour this stuff has taken me
Years, if not decades to learn and to walk in and so, you know just to get
Not even an hour. I look at the stuff. Yeah
You've got to meditate on the stuff and get it into your hearts fine
I so, you know
If I have a lot of water spilt on the top on the bench and I get a sponge if I dab the sponge
It will soak it up
But if I get a sponge and just go and try and flick it off
That's just gonna spray water everywhere and the sponge is not gonna soak anything up
and so if we just go through this teaching just read read read read read read read read read and
And what's next? We're just flicking it off. You need to meditate meditate meditate
Soak it in soak it. How does this relate to you?
Do you believe this?
Do you believe?
That devil's been judged. Hey, do you believe God has given you authority over the works of the devil?
Do you believe?
And it's not just because I tell you that you walk in authority
Jesus I know and Paul I know okay, the demons know what we know what we don't know
And so I want you to learn to under hear from God the authority that he's given you as a son of God
Okay, fine. I'm gonna pray for you in right now
For those of you who need any healing in your body
There are some miracle healings. Oh, yeah miracle healings last week a lady said that one of our sisters
She hasn't been able to walk for a weeks a week. She had pain in her body. It's completely gone
I know the sister said that she'd been partially deaf in one ear and
Anyway, she said it was after prenatal care last week that
Did she put on her headphones or something and she was quite loud and it was actually the normal volume
She had and so she turned it down. She could hear clearly because God had healed her ear
She didn't need the volume up anymore. She's God's healed her ears. So there's these are some miracles
So some of you, you know, you need to testify to glorify
Send in the miracle that God did to you last week
There was there more miracles on that and so right now father
I just released the power of God the Holy Spirit to come upon those who are watching upon these warrior sons
Lord is one thing to be a warrior with our mouths. It's another thing to be worry and reality
Lord, we don't want to speak stuff that we're not experiencing. We're called to testify and
not to tell stories not to
Repeat testimonies of others, but father everyone watching this this message right now
I declare to you sons and daughters of God you were called to testify
You were called to bring testimony of the Word
works of God through you. They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. And so
I decree God's blessing over you, His healing over you. I rebuke that the devil's works
over you, that the devil has been judged. And I decree you, you are released and you
are free from that judgment by the blood of Jesus. Come forth in liberty and freedom.
Be free of depression. Be free of schizophrenia. Be free from the voices in your head. Be free
of the nightmares that you have at night. Be free of those terrors, those terror sweats
that you have in the name of Jesus Christ. Be free in the mighty name of Jesus. Pukana
in the name of Jesus. Be loosed by the wonderful power of the Holy Spirit now. Let your neck
be released. Let your soul be free in Jesus' name.
Okay, whānau, next Thursday, 8 o'clock, normal time. It's so fast if you can on the Thursday.
It's the only homework you have to do. Ka kite anō. Kia ora whānau.
