Why Some Things Refuse to Move

to yourself i mean if you're looking at it you've been praying but some of the cycles keep on coming back and you you even fasted but the atmosphere in your home it's a bit difficult to explain so things are not coming all right so you said everything that you said you said in the name of jesus and still everything resists you i mean you know the bible verses and yet some of your habits don't change i mean who doesn't who doesn't know the bible say don't kill but you're not killing physically you're killing verbally and i'm not getting into that but sometimes you feel your your your your spirit is pressured and you are tired sometimes you're even grieving and yet nothing has changed so if this is you i can tell you now this message is for you i mean you've prayed for yes yet there's no pattern changes there's no uh authority that you can say that you have and uh obedience feel that it's too costly i mean you've been if you look looking at it some of the times even you say to your dearly don't understand how can i do everything you ask me to do but yet nothing changed but yet nothing changed now if you feel like this i can guarantee you now today this message is for you if you feel like this today i can guarantee you this message is for you so some of the things that i will mention i will mention to you might feel different than what you believe in but i think it's very important to understand that this is not a message for religious people religious people will tell you otherwise if you are religious i think you can just you might as well just go out or leave this live stream or from wherever from youtube facebook wherever you're listening from you might as well just leave because this is not for you because the modern christianity is a different christianity than what you've been told because believing is not enough confessions is not enough i mean you've been been confessing ah it's not enough i mean you know what to do but yet things are not changing it's not enough so scripture teaches us something harder and this is where i want to bring my message in today now my message is entitled why some things refuse to move why some things refuse to move now god never gave us a um authority which is not a part of order you need to understand that there's order in authority if i make an example for argument's sake a cleaner can't tell a ceo that you're not working you're not cleaning this correctly because obviously a ceo's job is not to clean something he must clean yes don't understand don't uh get me wrong a ceo can clean where he's been maybe for argument's sake he's been drinking water and then drink the water messes on the table he must clean where he was messy it does not mean that he must now call the the cleaner to come that is not what i mean god never gave authority apart from order so therefore if you there should be a structure of your power so there's messages that i preached before which i said you have to look to for argument's sake the earth when you do spiritual warfare because that's what demons and um not demons i i mean uh some gomas spiritual forces use you have to use the blood so we have a few things that we've mentioned but today we're going to go a little bit further which i'm going to share two spiritual uh weapons which the one is the word and it proves authority and one is the name that also proves authority and the word is the reality where the name is is the authority of things and remember that these are not just tools they are laws because when you're looking at it authority is not just a sound like the name of jesus is not just the sound because some pray even everything they they they do it's like they end their prayers in the name of jesus as if it is a you can almost call it like a a religious way of saying it because if you say it you need to say it with authority so what the name actually means this is now your your hebrew the name shem it means shem so this meaning is an identity it's a reputation it's a memorial authority bound to character so this is what that means so to profane a name in hebrew thought was not to misuse that word it was not to misrepresent it it was to give meaning or rank or offers or to delegate authority that is what it meant now he has been given us a name i'm just looking for my scripture quickly i wanna i want us to read um revelation revelation 19 verse 13 revelation 19 verse 13 now revelation 19 verse 13 and i'm reading it in the king james version it says as follow and he was clothed with the uh with a a vest vesture dipped in blood and his name is called the word of god so therefore my message i'm giving you today which has two weapons which is the word and the name here you can see it says that and his name is called the word of god god now john 1 verse 1 says in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god and when when you're looking at that and here talking about the name it's tied to the word so it's it doesn't separate the two from each other therefore i wanted to give you only one only one spiritual weapon and then give another one but then i realize if i do give you only one you might separate the two and think it's two different things no it's not two different things it's one when people pray they end it like as if it's a magic spell i ask this in the name of jesus and it leaves it there so when you say in the name of jesus it's not the religious talking i'm talking about you are making a legal claim because of when you're making a legal claim i'm acting as his representative under his authority not i'm acting on my name because this is what normally used to happen is that when somebody is is supposed to go and give a message over in the old old days they will use like a a a envelope and then when the envelope gets closed you close the end of envelope like this and then you put a seal of the the the the the king to stamp that this message come from the in the name of jesus it it doesn't just mean it's a religious spell or a magic spell it means that you are standing in the authority of jesus you are standing that the the that this claim is true and therefore the spiritual people or the spiritual authorities have to understand that you are a representative of christ therefore most of the time when people start speaking and they say i speak under the authority of jesus and i say to you demon reveal yourself they starting to speak out that's when you do a deliverance ministry but remember this is something that i can say to you it's not just a word that you have to say according to luke let's let's go to luke 6 verse 46 now luke 6 verse 46 say it as follow and why call he me lord lord and do not and do not the things which i say so it's like almost as if you are using the name of jesus but you're not using what jesus is asking you to do because when he says that you can speak it means that you can use but why do you call me lord lord and do not the things which i say christians christians don't fail because they don't know the name of christ they don't fail because they don't know what it means they do fail for one reason or another they're using the word of the name of god incorrectly they're using the name of god incorrectly and i want to take the time and explain to you this now when you speak about ricardo david zahl in parliament this i'm talking now in front of president ramaphosa you see ricardo david zahl they would ask you in what authority does he stand because he doesn't have authority there my name doesn't have authority there so when i speak about david and i don't mention a specific name any name can be assumed but the name david has been so much strong that whenever you say david the goliath slainer immediately somebody would understand do you know david david david is the one that was used as a shepherd boy to look after sheep but in the time like today any christian mentioning the name david we all understand we all understand and therefore when the name jesus is mentioned even demons trembled by that name even demons trembled by that name i mean if you go to um philippians 2 verse 9 philippians 2 verse 9 says as follow let me just read from my notes therefore god also has highly exalted him and giving him the name which is above every name And that at that name, at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow and those in heaven and those on earth and of those under the earth. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God, the father. This is this is almost like as if you are you are you can call it. This is like a courtroom language. Like like when a judge speaks. He speaks authority. It's like you can almost call it a government language. I hope I make sense because. When when when you're talking about heavenly realms, somebody understand that that name in heavenly realms, realms, it has power. If you speak on earth, it has power. Even if you speak under the earth, it has power. Sometimes I I laugh at people screaming at demons in the name of Jesus as if they are not having authority. As if demons are hard of hearing. Press number three. What is that? What? So it's hard of hearing. And sometimes the demon is not hard of hearing. It's just that you don't have the authority to speak. So by the time you just say in the name of Jesus. Immediately. They start trembling. And that is. Because of the jurisdiction or the name that you use. It's powerful. But I need to also advise you. I'm sorry. I need to also advise you. According to Matthew 7. Verse 22 and 23. That the name without relationship becomes a noise. A name without relationship becomes a noise. Because if you read Matthew 7. Verse 22. It says as follow. Many will say unto me in that day, Lord, Lord. Have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out demons, demons, devils. And in thy name done many wonderful works. And then I will profess unto them. I never knew you. Depart from me. Yet that work. Yet that work. Iniquity. So when you're looking at the Bible. Well, it gives you reasons to understand that you need to work according to authority. Because the name needs authority. The name of Jesus. It gives authority. And it needs to be used with authority. You know. When the demons were asking. No. They were actually saying. Ah. Jesus. I know. Paul. I even know. But who are you? So you need to have that kind of a relationship with Christ to be using the name of Jesus. It's no use of you saying in the name of Jesus. But you don't have relationship with Jesus. That name is then just a religious use of the name. And religious use of the name is the reason why you still sit where you are. Demons are tramping on your head. While the Bible says you will even tramp on demons. While demons are tramping on you. Because you don't have the relationship. If you had the relationship. Demons would have known. That anytime whenever you say in the name of Jesus. You are a representative of Jesus. You are a representative of Jesus. You're not just using it. Because you heard your pastor said. Pray in the name of Jesus. You heard your mother. Your great grandfathers were talking about. Pray in the name of Jesus. But the authority of Jesus. Will only comes with a relationship. So what authority structure do you stand under? Because if you stand under the authority of Jesus. And you are a part of Jesus. Like he said. Me and my father. We are one. If you and Jesus are one. You can do that. By speaking. In the name of Jesus. You can cast out demons. I sometimes have a. Have an issue. With people. That say. My prayers. Has not been answered. Ask the question. Under whose authority. You are standing. I sometimes. I sometimes have a problem. I want to make sure that. I need you to understand that. Whatever we are doing. It's to. To proclaim. Jesus. And to make disciples. Those of men. It's the great commission. And the great commission. Is obviously. To make sure. That. Anytime. Whenever you are. Standing. You. You. You draw people. To Jesus. Or you call them. Unto Jesus. You're not just preaching. Because preaching. Can be done. Can be done. Anyway. But it. It is. Very important. To make sure. That people. Understand it. Most of the things. That you have found. That is not working. It's because of. You have not given your life. To Jesus. As yet. Therefore. You can't have. The authority. To use the name. And. In the beginning. Of the. Of the message. I told you. That. According. To revelation. There's no separation. Of the. The name. Of the Lord. And the word. Of the Lord. Because. Revelation. Why should I. He was clothed. With a rope. Dipped in blood. And his name. Is called. The word of God. Now. When his name. Is called. The word of God. And you're talking. About the God. The word. Of God. There's no separation. Between the two. Because. If you're looking. At it. The Bible. Even says. That. God. Honours. His word. High above. Himself. I mean. If I'm saying. To you. I'm wearing green. You can see. It's green. But what if I'm telling you. I'm wearing a green underpants. There's no proof. Unless I show you. Yet. I'm not wearing it. I've never. Worn a. Green underpants. In. I don't even think. In my entire life. I've worn a green underpants. Because. I don't. Like. The color. As an underpants. Yes. As a t-shirt. As a trouser. Maybe. Not. My underpants. Must be. I don't like. This. Even white. Just so that you can understand. That. My word. I'm saying to you. I can say to you. But I can't prove it to you. God can say it. Without proof. Do you understand what I mean? If God said it. It is done. Therefore. It's a spiritual weapon. To use. The name of the Lord. And the word of the Lord. We have spoken about the blood. We have spoken about the earth. We have spoken about truth. So these are all. Spiritual weapons. That we use. And. Even with all those. Demons has manifested. Just by us. Telling you. You should understand. One thing. Demons. Is not just. A vocabulary. The name is a. Is an authority. It's an authoritative. Word. the name is not just a a label like like when you go to the the greek word it's onoma so it shows even in in the lexicons it it consistently show it includes the idea of a person's authority a rank a representation and a delegated commission that's according to the lexicon and i need you to understand that some of the things that we are doing we're doing it because we heard or we've seen it by others not because of we know it not because we know it i wish you can know what the name jesus really do i'm not saying you should you should know a lot no i didn't say that if only your spiritual eyes would have been opened you would understand that some of the things that happen in in in society if i can call it this way in and around us it's more spiritual than what it is physical how do you explain how do you explain let me not go there can i reserve my comment on that one but how do you explain but how do you explain you're going to doctors and the doctor can't tell you what's wrong with you the doctor can't tell you what's wrong with you you go to the next doctor yet that doctor can't tell you what's wrong with you you go to the third one and yet they can't tell you what's wrong with you you go to a prophetic ministry and the prophet of god tells you exactly it's a fibroid it's all about the spiritual things that you need to understand because spiritual warfare only happen in spiritual realms if you're not spiritual enough you won't understand you know some people they feel they they they've been praying and praying and praying and they feel drained it's like almost as if the warfare increase as you pray it doesn't decrease it's almost like as if you when you when you give declaration there's no longer peace many will say to me Lord Lord have we not prophesy in your name many would say that and you would say ah hey yet I have not know you so authority flows from knowing it doesn't flow from the activity that is why God has been given us so many talents so many gifts we can use it but do we know the God of the talents the God of the gifts that's a different story the Greek word for new in in in in this spirit specific scripture of what is this thing called Matthew the Greek word here it's ginosko which means a relational knowing not an informational knowing not I'm giving you the information that Christ is Lord of my life it's the knowing how do I know Christ is Lord of all my life is the way he has been has been proven himself so many a times that I now are convicted deep within me that he is not by what I've heard my forefathers were saying that we are Christians I mean if you if you take for argument sake a police officer when you see a police officer immediately you see authority you see authority but do you also know at the same time in today's life even though I see a police officer I don't still trust a police officer because I don't know if their clothes has been stolen the authority is no longer there even if you sit in a police car with police uniform with the gun of a police I still can't trust but when I see a police officer in a police station I immediately know this is a police officer but outside I won't know this is where I'm coming now as I go there a Christian is a Christian in church but outside we don't see therefore the name Jesus cannot be used when they go outside the moment they see somebody who is having a convulsion convulsion what is they convulsion they can't go to the person and lay hands and say in the name of Jesus be thou healed because only in church they can do it and therefore you are you are restricted to your jurisdiction which is church only the name can be used but in relationship wherever you are you can still use spiritual warfare in the name of Jesus I think I've been I've been punching long enough on the name let me go to the word let me go to the word no I'm not starting my message now I say it's part of the message two fold the word of God and the name of God can't be separated in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God did you hear what it says there if if you can understand that part it's no need for me to break it down for you because I think it's it's plain explanatory or what do you call that thing it's straightforward yeah and if I go and I say I talk about a revelation when I talk about revelation 19 verse 13 revelation 19 verse 13 says the following he was clothed with a rope dipped in blood and his name did you hear we were just speaking about the name now and his name is called not was is called the word of God and and the word was God I sometimes say some of the things that we do is is so confusing if you are not spiritually how do you call if your antennas is not there but the devil is a liar you know how hungry I am now it's even screaming now John 1 verse 1 the Greek word there for the word is logos in Greek logos was the ordering principle of existence it's almost like you can say the reason reality holds together John declares reality is not an idea it's a person it's like you have heard the word and not followed the word so you heard God and not followed him meaning to say that you call him Lord Lord but yet you're not doing what he asked you to do that's where the difference comes in you know Hebrew Hebrew the Hebrew meaning for the word is dabar and the meaning there it's it's a thing or a matter or an event so which means speech I mean speech and substance they're not separated so when you talk you must have words of substance do you know that when some of the words are going out people are making money with their words people are making money with their words Les Brown he just talked I don't know if you know Les Brown he's a motivational speaker charging a lot of money for just a half an hour to an hour worth of talk because his words are so transformational that people are prepared to pay for it Tony Robbins people are prepared to pay for it I remember the last time he charged for an event of two days 70 thousand rent per person two days and this does not include your your your sleeping place what what accommodation it's for him to come and speak to you people are making money with their words if you just use words with substance let's go to Isaiah 55 verse 11 Isaiah 55 verse 11 you must forgive me the flu the flu is is is hitting me Isaiah 55 verse 11 reads as follow so shall my word be that go word thought out of my mouth it shall not return unto me void but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing wherefore I sent it to did you hear that let me read it again so shall my word be that go it forth out of my mouth it shall not return unto my void but it shall accomplish that which I please and it shall prosper in the thing wherefore I sent it to this is what God's word means let me let me prove to you this is what God's word means he will say his word it means that exactly what I said now did you hear what I said I said Levin bring the lip balm there's an action towards God's word I hope it makes sense there's an action so whenever God speaks let there be light there was light have you seen what I said I said Levin bring that Levin bring your iPhone specifically I didn't say bring that phone I said bring the iPhone specifically she brought the iPhone not not a phone an iPhone so what I mean by God's word going forth what it has been planned to do I planned to get the phone in my hands God planned you to be the head and not the tail I wish you can understand that part that's the word of God that's not the word of Ricardo David Zal no it's the word it's the word so the word of God sometimes it demands routines it demands discipline because that is why the Bible says in James 1 22 my favorite scripture be but be doers of the word so it means that whenever a word goes out whatever it says you must do do it it's a spiritual thing but be doers of the word and not just hearers only not just hearers only because you heard them saying to you you should open up your own company you heard it but you have not done it you heard it but you have not done it be doers and not hearers only deceiving yourself sometimes self deception is not is not being ignorant sometimes self deception is not being ignorant because ignorance sometimes you crash no let me not go there it's it's like putting things in practice is what makes you to be a problem last time last time I said something I will do something and when it came for me to do it I did not oh no I said last time I should actually say a lot of times I have been saying I will do but I have not done it God would say he will do it and we can stand on his word that he will do it we can stand on his word that he will do it I sometimes I sometimes wonder if you okay let me make an example if you build this house you have you have one seller you have done the foundation you have shown the house looks beautiful especially this one the house looks beautiful you have shown the house looks beautiful but then when I look at the cupboards for argument sake you remember Levan the cupboards the what what is layer it just layer drawer you know when the drawers becomes when you put too much things in the drawer it breaks it's it's not built to last for lifetime drawers is supposed to have all the knives the folks anything that goes in there even if you put enough of them the drawer must not broke or break sorry a building does not collapse because of storms no it collapse because of the structure is faulty and that is why when God's word goes out and it goes to you and you have heard it and you have listened to it you have accepted it and you have made it your own even when storms comes you can withstand the storms and I always always have a saying that I can say that no in fact I think it's about two or three years back I made an example to say that whenever you take a toothpaste tube you press on it you expect toothpaste to come out you don't expect a hair shampoo to come out from a toothpaste thingy what what what you don't expect that when you when you take a hair shampoo bottle you don't expect dye to come out you expect shampoo so when storms comes to a Christian you don't expect a devil let me not go there but what I'm trying to say is that when God's word goes forth it brings forth what he has intended it to do but you as a Christian whenever God's word goes out you bring forth the wrong things it's understandable that you need to have these two working together the name of the Lord and the word of the Lord because the word of the Lord says Jesus said it is written he didn't come with with spear and sword and he came with it is written when Satan came the only thing that he could do he could understand the word he could understand the word my word shall remain everything will finish but my word it shall bloom here with me you know when we say we stay with the owens we belong with the owens we park with the owens this is the word of God it will stay but why do you think the word and the name must function together you remember we were talking about the blood last time that is a legal access because what happened is that if the blood is not on the door post it gave the enemy legal access to enter so when the blood is there the legal access is denied that was the blood so the name gives you as a person an authority so it's an authority it's an authoritative name while the word gives you reality if you remove one of them there's no governance that you have I mean Matthew 4 verse 4 says it is written Jesus did not argue Jesus didn't even shout he didn't have to explain nothing he just said it is written taking you back to the word so the word is reality it was a reality that it was written remember the word is true the word is yay and amen do you understand what I'm saying that is why whenever we pray and when you use the word God cannot go against this word but some of us just pray the word no let me let me read my notes just now I'm thinking I'm going to get confused if I say it without saying it the way I wrote it because at the time it made sense to me so if it doesn't make sense now I don't know why the word is love before pressure not during pressure let me explain what I mean by that now when you have the word within you anything that is without you or outside of you can come and try and penetrate what is within you but when you have the word the pressures from the outside cannot change what you know the pressures from outside cannot change what you know because you know the word of God when the enemy comes in like a flood I will raise a standard you know so some of the words you can even you can even interlink them like like when let me make an example the Bible says the word was God was with God you know in the beginning was the word and the word was God and the word was with God you know like that scripture now you say according to your word Father God you said in the beginning and you you are your word and you at the same time says that you honor your word high above yourself and you said you whenever the word goes forth it will not come back to you void and at the same time you say and the word is the one that cuts through bone and marrow you let your word be accomplished because now you have used scriptures to back what you are saying therefore knowing the word before the pressure comes before Jesus was hungry he knew the word before he fasted he knew the word so whenever satan came with hunger he could say it is written man shall not live by bread alone he even used it but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God that is the reality of knowing I mean I need you to understand that authority when authority increase your your your weaknesses decrease make sense what I'm trying to say you know like when you when you are higher in Christ your weaknesses becomes lower and it doesn't have power over you because no if I can say it like this when somebody of integrity speaks to you and tell you something you won't doubt it no you won't because you know the person is of integrity so I need you to I need you to do a few things now look into your life like look deep inside yourself and identify where your life contradicts the word where your life contradicts the word and where it contradicts the word bring that behavior into alignment with the word bring it into alignment with the word and just stop using the name of Jesus casually stop using the name casually because if you keep on praying in the name of Jesus you make it so religious that it doesn't have authority let the word of God structure your life let the word of God structure your life and I want to say the final word sometimes we are so excited oh this and that other the kingdom of God does not respond to enthusiasm it responds to order if you have the authority of Christ you can speak not out of enthusiasm if you have authority you it's like the word of God is structuring your life and when the word of God is structuring your life the name of Christ back your voice I can I can what he said all demons cast out yeah I can cast out demons like come on in in the name of Jesus out I don't have to say out in the name of Jesus because of the authority that I have in the name of Christ because of the relationship I have with Christ not because of the religious value of every time I see somebody casting out demons in the name of Jesus now I also want to use the name of Jesus but the word of God is not within me come on you understand why it's very important to understand that I don't I don't I don't I don't think we understand the power that the word and his name have because when Jesus says it is written he confirmed that he knew before the storm of hunger can come he knew the word and he could use the word in the storm that came and then when this demon says ah you know Jesus I know even Paul I know why did he say that it's not because of Paul was a name that everybody knew Jesus was a better name than Paul's name because people were scannering about Jesus more than they were scannering about Paul but the authority that he had as Paul is Paul yeah why why am I not I almost thought I'm talking about somebody yeah but let me talk about this this Paul Paul was maybe not known in the area by a lot of people but because of the authority that he had even the demons knew him therefore they could say yeah I know Jesus even that man Paul I know him because the moment when he comes close by I must run but who are you that is why it's very important to understand that whenever we go to the word of God and the name it has power it's not a part of a lyrics there is power in the name of Jesus no there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain break every chain break every chain no it's not lyrics it's the word of God that has power like I said to you when we're talking about the power so shall my word be that go forth out of my mouth it shall not return unto me void but it shall accomplish what which I please and it shall prosper in the thing wherefore I send it not I speak and no one listen no when God speak even the donkey say that guy he was speaking to me the donkey starts speaking because the donkey could hear while human beings couldn't I wish we can understand because one day when the storms of life comes and you don't have the word to back up that storm the storm will drop you I said to you the house is not a proof of the house is standing but outweighing the storm that the house can stand for is a proof that the house structure is strong it's only the storm that can tell me this roof is still standing stronger that mkukus that the rain comes one two three gone it's not a sign wow this guy can build beautiful it's the strength that it can withstand that makes a difference if you are strong in christ you can use the authoritative word and say in my name they shall cast out huh isn't that a nice promise it's it's a it's a it's a nice promise why do we keep on fighting if exodus 14 verse 14 says peace i will fight for you you will hold your peace these are the words that whenever you are standing in problematic areas it's important to know you need to have the word of god within you you need to not just have the word according to james 1 22 remember in the beginning i said to you my message is entitled why some things refuse to move the way it refuse to move is because of james 1 22 what does james 1 22 says it's a it's a something that i can say to you we will hear this year because if we don't do we will always be the devil do it the bible says you shall tramp on his head what is tramp tramp you will stand on his head now he's standing on your head why because you have given him the authority you have taken the blood from your doorpost i told you it's very important to understand that some of the things we might miss because of religious reasons religiously we've been told in the name of jesus but what authority do you stand on and through that authority you need to understand that you might use the name of jesus in vain i want us to just declare a few scriptures as we stand i want to read this one philippines two philippines two i want to make sure that because now suddenly i can't remember what i've written there and it doesn't look sharp philippines two verse 10 says the following that at the name of jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth so our declaration is that we declare let's say together we declare according to philippines two verse 10 i operate under the jurisdiction of christ jesus i declare according to john 1 verse 1 the word governs my reality i declare according to john james 1 verse 22 i choose embodiment over information i choose embodiment over information according to luke 10 verse 19 i enforce authority where alignment exists in the name of jesus in the name of jesus amen and amen heavenly father i come to you in the mighty name of jesus christ our lord and savior and i say to you thank you for the word because your word you said is yay and amen and we cannot move anything from it subtract detract move it away we cannot do anything except for the word being going
