SPEAKER 02 :
On this encore show, Darren and I take calls over the air. Jean calls in and wants to hear from God regarding her relationship with her boyfriend. Darren tells her that she’s dating an actor and she needs to be cautious and extraordinarily wise and discerning in her decisions. He prays a prayer of purity and cleansing over a listener who has secondary defilement. And another thing, you do not have to live with fear. When you build up your faith in God’s ability and power and bind the spirit of fear, you will be victorious over the spirits of hell in Jesus’ mighty name. Now let’s join the program.
SPEAKER 06 :
Caller right here. So let’s take it. Jane in Denver, how are you doing? Hello, Jane.
SPEAKER 04 :
Hello.
SPEAKER 06 :
You have to speak up there. I can’t hardly hear you, dear.
SPEAKER 04 :
Can you hear me better now? There you go. That’s good. Yes. And it’s Jean.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, it’s Jean.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’ve got a wrong name on my computer screen. I apologize.
SPEAKER 02 :
Sometimes when we talk on the telephone, it doesn’t come out as clearly. At least it starts with a J. Yes. What can we help you with?
SPEAKER 04 :
I just wanted to have God’s wisdom and direction for my life. Pray for that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Mm-hmm. Are you a Christian, Jane?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, I am.
SPEAKER 06 :
Is Jesus Lord of your life?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, he is.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Are you in a good church?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, I am. Okay. Good.
SPEAKER 06 :
Have you sought counsel from your pastor?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, in different situations.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
But you’re struggling with hearing the voice of God, is that it? Yes, I am. Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
Are you married? No, I’m single. Okay. I’m divorced.
SPEAKER 06 :
Divorced. Okay. Do you have children?
SPEAKER 04 :
Two.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. And what are their ages?
SPEAKER 04 :
19 and 15. Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. What is the biggest thing you want God to give you direction on?
SPEAKER 04 :
This person that I’m dating right now.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
What should we do about this situation?
SPEAKER 06 :
How long have you been dating this person?
SPEAKER 04 :
Almost a year.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Are you guys talking about getting real serious?
SPEAKER 04 :
We do because sometimes we have problems.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
Is he a Christian? Yeah, I think, well, I say he’s a Christian, but I don’t know how, I don’t feel like he’s as spiritual as I am.
SPEAKER 02 :
If you’ve been going with him for a year, does he pray with you on dates? Not really. Does he talk about the word on dates?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, we have talked about the word.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay, what does he say, talk about?
SPEAKER 04 :
We have differences, like he believes in, He doesn’t like you. We believe in the Holy Spirit and we agree on that, but he doesn’t get into depth in different topics that I want to talk about. He’ll shy away from them.
SPEAKER 02 :
Like what topics?
SPEAKER 04 :
Just about the gifts of the Spirit, about the anointing and different situations, things like that.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh. You know, Gina, I think you’re going with an actor.
SPEAKER 04 :
Ooh.
SPEAKER 06 :
Do you know what I mean when I say that? Yes. Okay. That I’d really find out real soon because we talked to a lot of gals with absolutely broken hearts and broken lives that went with a guy that, you know, he put up a pretty good front, but once they were married and all that, the real Mr. Jones stepped forward, and it wasn’t real nice. Yeah.
SPEAKER 02 :
Wow, and these are subjects that are very important, Jean. I mean, gifts of the Holy Spirit are very, very important in this day and age. And if he’s haggling over that and the anointing, which breaks the yoke and removes the burdens.
SPEAKER 04 :
He doesn’t understand it. He goes to a huge church. You see, I started, when I learned, I learned in a smaller church, and then the gifts just flowed very freely.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, how old is he? He’ll be 40 in a couple months.
SPEAKER 06 :
Has he been married before?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes. He should be reading the Word on his own. He shouldn’t be getting it from churches. You know, that’s where we really learn as children of the Most High God.
SPEAKER 06 :
What do your children think of this person?
SPEAKER 04 :
They really like him.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. You seem to have some fear and apprehension about the relationship. What’s your biggest concern about this person?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, I guess it’s just me, the relationship period, because I have not been in a relationship where there’s been total commitment and trust as far as people being faithful.
SPEAKER 06 :
So you’re concerned that he’d be unfaithful?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, I guess it’s just a fear that I have across the board in general.
SPEAKER 06 :
Was your first husband unfaithful?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, was that the reason your marriage dissolved?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, it was.
SPEAKER 06 :
How long ago did that happen, Jean?
SPEAKER 04 :
About ten years.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, I say this to you. I think we need to get the fear out of your life so that you can think straight and hear the word of God straight. And so you don’t prejudge or misjudge this guy if he is the right one. But I think there’s also some things that you can just see in the natural world that are good indicators of questions you ought to be asking in the spirit. If he’s really not turned on to God and you are. I’ve even seen spirit-filled Christians that couldn’t get along. We could say, well, they ought to be able to get along, but they didn’t. And they were on a different page, even though both of them basically agreed theologically they were on a different page because they approached life so differently. And so I don’t think just if a person is spirit-filled and a Christian, sometimes that isn’t even enough to bond a couple.
SPEAKER 05 :
No.
SPEAKER 06 :
If they have such different interests, like one is a sports nut and the other one can’t stand sports, for example. Or one is very intellectual and the other person could care less about reading a book or doing anything that would be helpful, I would say, mentally or emotionally or educationally. So I would really look at those things. I’d be asking God questions like this, Gina. Are we really going to be able to bond here? Is there going to be a good relationship here of trust and love and romance and those kinds of things? Because you have to have it all going for you today to make it.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, in Matthew 18, 18, and 19, it says, where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am. And it says, where two agree as touching anything on earth. Now, if you don’t agree, if you can’t agree, now, if you can put up with this, you know, that’s one thing. But agreement is so important, Jean. For Darren and me to get along and to see things break through in the spirit, we have to be in agreement. Amos 3.3 says, Can two walk together unless they be agreed? And I believe this is down in your heart what you really want. You want a husband that’s going to be in spiritual agreement with you. Is that the desire of your heart? Yes. Yes, I feel that.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’ve had a lot of singles say to me, A bad marriage is worse than being single.
SPEAKER 02 :
Absolutely. So, yeah, we would. I think that prayer for her is really good, Darren. But I also think that you really need to ask Father God, is this the man, Lord, that you want me to live with? And can I live with a man who doesn’t agree theologically like I do? Can we be in agreement? And I really believe you have a heart after God, Jean, and you need to seek a godly man, not just a man to fill those emotional needs and physical needs, but a man to be your spiritual covering. And he may be inadequate to be your spiritual covering. I don’t know, but…
SPEAKER 06 :
Are you still there? Yeah, I’m here. Okay. Are we asking good questions?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes, you are.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 02 :
But I think that prayer for her is really good, Darren.
SPEAKER 06 :
Are you both of the same race?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 02 :
Praise the Lord.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, if you got married tomorrow, let’s say you got married this weekend, you decide to just do it, what would be your biggest concern?
SPEAKER 04 :
Probably, like I said, a lot has to do with me, and I know self is the trust issue. Being able to trust.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Well, I would say this, Jean. Since we have you here and we don’t have the gentleman, I would say you really need to work through the issues of fear because that affects not only relationships in terms of potential marriage. But it will affect you in being able to receive from your Heavenly Father. So what we may be talking about here today is a basic issue of I need to put down the past. I need to be healed of the past to heal of the unfaithfulness. And did your first husband bring sexual defilement home to you?
SPEAKER 02 :
What do you mean by that?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, was he out sleeping with somebody else?
SPEAKER 02 :
And then he’d come home and have sex with you? Yes. Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, now what we’re talking about here is he was primarily defiled. and then he brought the defilement home to you, and you would have been defiled because of what he did in his lifestyle. So I think that might be an issue you’re struggling with, is a sense of defilement, a sense of repulsion maybe to being intimate, and that would really mess up or tend to mess up the next relationship. So I would say we need to pray against fear, and we also need to pray against secondary defilement. You need to know… a gene that you’re acceptable to to yourself and to a potential new mate and also that fear needs to really be taken away because because it happened in the past doesn’t isn’t a guarantee that it’s going to happen again it could be a point of caution but a lot of people bring all the rubbish trash from the old relationship into the new one and it destroys in some ways the new relationship
SPEAKER 05 :
Mm-hmm. That’s right.
SPEAKER 06 :
Does that make sense?
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, yes, it does.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Well, would you like to pray? Yes, I would. All right. Father God, we just lift up Jean today. And I pray and ask, Lord, that you would cleanse her. And I say you’re cleansing her spiritually, mentally, physically. with the blood of Jesus Christ. Father God, take away all the defilement that was brought home by our first husband, all the lies, all the deception, all that spirit of being double-crossed or that spirit of not knowing for sure what’s going on, that spirit of insecurity and that spirit of fear. Take that away. And, Lord, any feelings of inferiority or unworthiness that came in through that relationship to Jean, take that away, Lord. And, Father, I pray and ask that you would make her a strong believer in the Word and have strong confidence in the Jesus within her and also a great self-concept, a good feeling about herself, Father God, of worthiness. And, Lord, I know that unworthiness and fear and doubt comes right out of the sin package. And, Lord, Gene isn’t there anymore. And I say you’ve cleansed her life. I say the spirit of fear has been driven away. In Jesus’ powerful name, amen. Amen.
SPEAKER 05 :
Amen.
SPEAKER 06 :
Now, Gene, I hear a little difference there in your voice. Doesn’t it feel good to be clean?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, it does.
SPEAKER 06 :
It does, doesn’t it? Well, let me give you a scripture that will help you.
SPEAKER 04 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
If you’ll say this one every morning, every noon, every night, and I’d say it six or seven times every time you start saying it, but Matthew 5.8 says, Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. And that’s a good one to establish a sense of cleanliness, of being clean spiritually, mentally, physically. And I would thank the Lord for that. And then I’m going to recommend that we… In fact, we’re just going to send you a tape called the way goes trouble down the drain and i’d like for you to listen to that tape and it’s on hand washing okay and you do what it tells you to do on that tape what we did in the class you wash your hands of all the old problems that’s right and that’s based on a teaching that we really picked up out of matthew but it’s all through the bible have clean hands and a pure heart okay can we send that to you i guess you can Then here’s another one I’m going to send right along with it. It’s called Unforgiveness, the Dead End Street. It’ll tell you how to stay in forgiveness here. Okay. And what you need to do is forgive and release your ex-husband. Can you do that?
SPEAKER 04 :
I guess I can.
SPEAKER 06 :
Would you like to do that today?
SPEAKER 04 :
I guess I would.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, here’s what I want you to say. And we’re going to ask Jesus to put his forgiveness through you to forgive your ex-husband. Are you ready? Say, Lord Jesus, I ask for your forgiveness to flow through me. I choose to forgive and release my ex-husband completely. I ask you to help me forgive and release myself with your forgiveness, Jesus. And Lord God, I also forgive and release you. You didn’t do anything wrong, but sometimes I’ve questioned you. So today I forgive you and release you. Thank you, Jesus. I need to be free.
SPEAKER 05 :
Amen.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, Jean, you’re getting better and better the longer we talk to you. I like that chuckle. You’ve got a neat laugh.
SPEAKER 02 :
We desire the best for you, and we really do want the very best.
SPEAKER 06 :
Amen. You got a pencil?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right, write down one more, one of my favorites, Hebrews 1035. Cast not away your confidence, for it has a great reward.
SPEAKER 1 :
1035?
SPEAKER 04 :
Right. Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
All right.
SPEAKER 02 :
And leave your name and your address with John, and we’ll get those tapes out to you. Okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
Hold on. Don’t hang up. Okay. God bless you.
SPEAKER 02 :
Thank you. God bless you.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, how many times have we been down that road, Barb?
SPEAKER 02 :
Boy, I’ll tell you, it’s rough enough, like you said, it’s rough enough being married to a person who’s spirit-filled, who believes like you do.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’ll tell you, this life really throws some wrenches in the… You know, we don’t have enough teaching on the fact that just because you go to the same church, maybe you’ve been raised the same way, you believe the same way, you may not apply it the same way.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 06 :
And we’ve seen people that are spirit-filled… They both have Holy Spirit in their lives. They both have a biblical background. They’ve both been to church. And yet they just can’t get along. And sometimes that bonding never comes.
SPEAKER 02 :
That’s right. Never.
SPEAKER 06 :
And I use an example. And, of course, here in Denver, we’ve got so many sports here in Denver. It’s kind of getting to be the sports capital of the country. But if you’ve got a person that’s a real sports nut, I mean, they’re maxed out on sports. And they don’t see anything wrong with that. And they’re not going to change. And the partner, and usually it’s the guy that’s that way, and the wife says, I just tolerate this sports. I mean, we’re getting into football season, and I want to throw up every Sunday when he watches football all day long. Well, I’ll tell you, those are issues that really need to be looked at.
SPEAKER 02 :
But I know some people who are married singles. They prefer that isolation even in their marriage. He watches his games. I read my books. He does this. I do my needlepoint while he goes and does his thing. And a lot of people work that out. But I am not that kind of person. And I guess the first thing I would ask is, Lord, can we be in agreement? spiritually so we can get some dynamic and important things done here in the spirit regarding relationships, children, finances, home health. Darren, if you and I were in agreement when I have a problem in my body and come to you and say, Darren, could you pray? Sometimes I’m so sick, you know, physically for a little while, I can’t really pray for myself. And you are in agreement with me. Pray over me. And that thing is gone in no time at all.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, as soon as we get the sin out of your life, you’re healed.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m sorry. I’m hard to live with. Let’s take this phone call from Ann. Ann, how are you doing?
SPEAKER 03 :
Hello.
SPEAKER 06 :
Hi. How are you?
SPEAKER 03 :
Hello. Darren, I promised I’d call back today.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m glad you did. I prayed for the baby last night, but I need a little more information.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right. Well, what I can tell you is that they are, like I said, they belong to a Catholic or Lutheran church as far as I know. Okay. You know, as far as born again and all, I can’t speak to that exactly.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, okay. Let’s talk about the baby.
SPEAKER 03 :
Alexandria. Alexandria.
SPEAKER 06 :
How old is the baby now?
SPEAKER 03 :
She’s about eight months. All right.
SPEAKER 02 :
And she was… Was she prematurely born or anything like that?
SPEAKER 03 :
Not to go too far back, but actually they… It cost them maybe $30,000 or $40,000, and I don’t like to be throwing around numbers, but they wanted this baby so much over a period of a few years, and they were up and down and lost so many babies and so forth, and so finally they were just elated when this happened, and the baby was just fine for about three months, and then this happened to where actually she could choke to death, and all I can tell you is that It’s kind of like a birthmark, but it’s inside someplace. And they say it just has to disintegrate. And so in the meantime, she has these tubes down her throat. She can’t cry and so forth. So they’re going in. Now it’s been about six months. They’re going into the hospital on Tuesday to intervene there and see if there’s anything happening. And… I just pray.
SPEAKER 06 :
Would these folks mind? Would they be upset if they knew we were praying for a baby?
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, no, no. In fact, her sister is here in town. all the rest of the family, and so I’ve got them all alerted.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, now where is the baby?
SPEAKER 03 :
The baby’s out in California.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay. Well, why don’t you do this? Have some family member or some contact that you have just tell them that we prayed for them on radio.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
On a talk show. Yes. Where we see a lot of miracles, and we’re going to believe, and I think that might spark faith in these people’s hearts. You know, if they’ve been to a Catholic church or been to a Lutheran church, they have some concept of God. Right. And let’s believe that they have some faith.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right.
SPEAKER 06 :
Would that be okay?
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, wonderful.
SPEAKER 06 :
Father God, I pray and ask that you would touch little Alexandria there in California. Father God, she didn’t sin. Thank you, Jesus. But Lord, I break the curses of the generations over this baby.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
Father God, up the family tree, both sides, dad’s side, mom’s side, up through the grandparents, great-grandparents. Lord, we break that curse and the curse of death over this family. They shouldn’t be losing babies.
SPEAKER 05 :
Praise you, Lord.
SPEAKER 06 :
Father God, that is a curse. And we come against that curse of death. And Father God, we come against that curse of the generations. Now we pray and ask for the baby. The baby’s whole body would be filled with the light and power of Jesus Christ. Father God, this is not psychic phenomena. This is not new age phenomena. We pray by the power of the blood of Jesus that was spilled on the cross. And we thank you, Jesus, that by your stripes you paid for this baby’s healing. You paid for that 2,000 years ago. So now we call it in by faith, Lord Jesus. And we say that when the doctors investigate, this will be gone.
SPEAKER 05 :
Thank you, Father.
SPEAKER 06 :
And the baby will be able to breathe. And there won’t be this fear of strangulation. Lord, we come against the fear in the parents, and we pray and ask, Lord, that a spirit-filled believer come along and minister to them against this stronghold of fear and against the curses of death. In Jesus’ name we believe.
SPEAKER 03 :
Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Darren.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’ll just tell you, the baby’s going to be fine.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, praise God.
SPEAKER 06 :
Thank you. So you get back and give me a report.
SPEAKER 03 :
I will, and I want to tell you something. I’m Catholic, 76 years old. But I want to do a little canonization of my own, and I’m going to name you Saint Darren of the Rocky.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, now, people that know me don’t think I’m Saint Darren, I’ll tell you.
SPEAKER 03 :
People that know him know he’s not a saint. I’ve just canonized him. Oh, that’s precious.
SPEAKER 06 :
When you go to Mass, you pray for me.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, you’re super, Ann. God bless you. Thank you, too. Okay, dear. Bye-bye. Oh, I love it. Well, I’ve never been called St. Darren before. Have you ever been called? I’ve never been canonized. I think the next time we need to knight you, take a sword.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m so Protestant, I don’t even know what’s happened to me here.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, that’s wonderful.
SPEAKER 06 :
However, I used to have a Catholic doctor on my board. He was a precious man in Fort Collins. And his wife says, Darren, you’ve got to be a latent Catholic. I don’t know what that means, but I love Jesus, and I know a lot of my Catholic friends really love Jesus, and it’s precious.
SPEAKER 02 :
You cross yourself every once in a while. I sure do.
SPEAKER 06 :
I do it all. I’m going to make sure it’s covered all the bases. That’s like when I had my kids. My church didn’t believe in infant baptism. So I had the preacher say, I baptize and dedicate this child. Let’s cover all the bases here. Not because of unbelief, but let’s do it all.
SPEAKER 02 :
For you, our friends who are listening, and you have been such a blessing and answered prayer on this program, and we have seen a lot of answered prayer. When you remember Alexandria, would you pray against the fear in this family and also the death that Darren was talking about and the curses that Alexandria can breathe freely?
SPEAKER 05 :
Amen.
SPEAKER 02 :
Just with our own little grandson here who’s only two months old, I’ll tell you there’s such fear in infant death syndrome and all this junk that is put on them at birth. Now, watch out for this and watch out for that.
SPEAKER 06 :
But you know who promotes us now more than the churches, more than wrong teaching in churches, is Channel 4, Channel 7, Channel 9, Channel whatever. But see, it’s still fear. ESPN, I mean, maybe not ESPN, but not the sports. You know, we come down a C-span in some of these, but if you just look at this, they think they have been appointed guardians over our souls here in Denver. And I kind of, you know, every night if you’ll watch it, folks, you’ll see that things that they determine are newsworthy. For example, anything to do with women’s issues. Anything to do with AIDS. Anything to do with homosexuality. Anything to do with cancer.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
And on and on. Anything to do with the space program. You know, some days I wish that dumb thing would fall out of the sky and get it over with.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, you know what the Russians did? They had such a dilapidated station, they said, now who can we get to help pay for this? The United States comes up.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’ll say it again, some numbskulls in Washington, D.C. want to play hobnob with the enemy. Anyway, I have some tapes I want to suggest to you. Here’s a tape called The Creative Power in Your Mouth. And that’s a good one to tell you how you can create or destroy with your mouth. And then we have one here called Overcoming Lost Grief and Sorrow. Now, these tapes are available to you for $5 apiece. They’re a great buy. We put a ton of scripture anointing on the tape. And there’s always a prayer there that will get you out of whatever subject we’re working with there on that particular tape issue. Then we have another one here, How to Keep Your Miracle. And I’ll tell you, there are a lot of people getting miracles, Barb. That’s easy for Jesus to get a miracle. But the difficult part comes because we have to do some work to keep that miracle, to keep the devil coming in and stealing from us.
SPEAKER 02 :
I have our spirituality up. That’s right.
SPEAKER 06 :
And in John chapter 10, it says he comes to kill, steal and destroy. And all of you know what I’m talking about. If you’ve had any any sense of what the battle is. Here’s another one on the great escape. And that’s out of Hebrews chapter nine and 10. And it’s talking about getting away from the iniquities that are in your heart. And the word says, I will not regard your prayer if I see iniquity in your heart. Can you find that in Psalm? Is that Psalm 66? Uh-huh, 66, 18.
SPEAKER 1 :
66, 18.
SPEAKER 02 :
If I regard iniquity or wickedness. The Lord will not hear.
SPEAKER 06 :
The Lord will not hear. Now, here’s another one. We always deal here with unforgiveness. Oh, I tell you, that’s such a blockage.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, we had one brother that got ten tapes because he said all my relatives needed them. He passed them out. He passed them out.
SPEAKER 06 :
I think he was going to a family reunion. He said, guess what?
SPEAKER 02 :
We’ve got a tape for you. Boy, that is a biggie, though. Amen. Unforgiveness is a huge hindrance to arguing our prayers in.
SPEAKER 06 :
For some of you who haven’t called, I have two minutes. I don’t mind praying if I even have 20 seconds, but the number is there. It’s called 303- 433-8000, a brand new number for you. Area code 303-433-8000.
SPEAKER 02 :
That tape you mentioned, Gene, Away Goes Trouble Down the Drain, that’s an enormous tape for people that are carrying around things that are unresolved.
SPEAKER 06 :
The old junk.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, junk. And boy, when we can actually go to the sink, the bathroom sink, and wash underwater and push those things away to unload that U-Haul that we’ve been dragging along behind us.
SPEAKER 06 :
That is a marvel. Oh, it’s marvelous. Here’s another one on the mysteries of giving. A lot of people say, what do you mean mysteries of giving? It’s just as simple as giving. No, it’s not. There’s a battle when it comes to giving. I’ll tell you why Satan fights you over the money issue. He does not want you to have victory. And many of you are struggling for victory in your life. And the issue is tithing. And you don’t know that God has just given you a supernatural opportunity. This is better than the best stock issue I ever heard on the big board.
SPEAKER 02 :
And you’re saying, oh, you’re always talking about money. You’re always talking about giving. Well, you know what? We’re not talking for us. God has richly blessed us. We’re talking about you. We’re talking about you planting your seed and getting a rich harvest.
SPEAKER 06 :
And I challenge you, you tithe into good ground ministry. Those that I believe are good ground ministry, you can know it by this. Are they getting people born again? Are they calling sin, sin? Are they compromising? Now, if they’re compromising on that issue, compromising on the abortion issue, homosexuality issues, that’s not a good ground ministry. I wouldn’t put my money in there.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, there are religions that are holding to a form of godliness, but they have denied the power. And that’s what you’re talking about. They’re denying the power. And you have to see power in that place that you’re giving your tithe to, or your tithe is going into a hole, a big hole. Amen.
SPEAKER 06 :
And if there are people that walk in there sick and come out sicker, something’s wrong. If they go in depressed and they come out more depressed, something’s wrong. In other words, we should have answers for people in ministry, and a lot of ministries do have. So I’m going to say, if you don’t want to give to Darien and Denver, that’s up to you. But I want you to give into a good ground ministry and give the first 10%. And I will give the 10% gross.
