Out of Darkness

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:19):
Good morning everyone. This is Pastor Gale and welcome to
Healing Begins. I don't know what you're doing this morning,
or if you're listening to this later by podcasts, I
just want to welcome you to the program. And the
title for my talk this morning is out of Darkness.

(00:40):
And you might say, well, where did you come up
with that? Well, program titles and thoughts often come in
my time of the Lord. So I was in a
time of worship listening to a pray song by Jesus
Image called all Honor, all Glory belonged to You, And
as I was in the presence of the Lord, I

(01:00):
hear the Lord began to speak to me about something
that's going to be happening, and I hope we're all
ready for it is that God wants to call people
that are in darkness to come into his light. God
wants to call people that are suffering from bondage to
come into his freedom. And so right now, in the
name of Jesus, I want to open with prayer. I

(01:21):
want to ask the Lord to bless the words that
I'm about to speak over you this morning. As you
listen either on wood radio or if you're listening by podcast.
I pray that these words would be encouraging to you.
In the name of Jesus. Lord, let my words go
out like light in the darkness. I pray, Lord, they
would pierce the hearts in the minds of those that

(01:43):
are even in bondage, those that are struggling. I pray
that my words would be like salve on a wound.
And I pray that my words would help draw people
to come into the light that are in the darkness.
So Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, I pray
for those today that are away from you, that need

(02:07):
to know you, that need to know you loved them,
that need to know you died for them so they
could have eternal life. Father, there isn't anyone on the
face of this planet that Lord, that you don't love
You love them, Lord, and that you call them out
of darkness to come into your marvelous lights. Lord, in
the name of Jesus, I pray for those that are

(02:27):
ensnared and the enemy snare, that Father, you would set
them free, that you would set them free from the
ropes of the enemy. In the name of Jesus. Amen,
I was reminded of when I used to help people
get out of Satanism. A few years ago, there was
one lady that had been abducted, and I think she

(02:48):
was in Indiana, and they adopted her. They abducted her
through a bag over head and took her to a
separate location, and they made her kneel down, and they
tied her up with two ropes, and they stretched both
of her arms out, and their idea was to make
her denounce the name of Jesus. They wanted her to

(03:08):
denounce the name of Jesus because her mom and her
dad had been in Satanism for years, and so she refused,
even through torture, to denounce the name of Jesus. In
the middle of what they were doing to her, all
of a sudden, the bright light shone in the room
that they were at, and there appeared robe and the

(03:31):
sandals and all the ropes they had her bound with
fell off, and she walked out of that room. And
I know she called me later because she had to
be treated medically for what they had done to her,
so she got free. Kind of reminds me of Peter
when he was imprison and he was bound between four

(03:52):
squads of soldiers and in the middle of the night,
the Angel showed up in the room, and the glory
of God shone around the room. And what instantly happened
was his chains and the things that they had bound
them with fell off, and he walked with the Angel
out of the prison, out of the city gate. It

(04:12):
wasn't until he was completely out of the city that
all of a sudden he realized that he had been
freed by the Lord, by the Angel of the Lord.
And so I believe we're living in a day where
God is trying to call people out of darkness into
his light. He's calling those that are caught in drugs.
He's calling the drug dealers to bother their knee at

(04:32):
the cross and to repent of their sin and change
their life. He's calling those that are in darkness to
come into the light. But the question I have is,
is the church ready? Pastors? Are you ready? Pastors of
Grand Rapids? Are you ready? Any pastor that's under the
sun of my voice right now? Is you and your

(04:52):
church ready to help these people become free, fill to
the Holy Spirit, and begin a new life. This is
a big deal. I believe that there are many that
are caught in darkness that are actually dissatisfied with the
life that they're living. They realize that they have tried
everything they know, everything they know to find fulfillment, everything

(05:15):
they know to find a family, and all of it
has come up empty. It's just like when we minister
in Costa Rica. I minister in a camp. They call
it Camp Extrema. And this is where I work with
a guy down there named Christian who used to be
a drug lord. And he'll take fifty sixty kids away
from a gang and will bring him to a separate

(05:35):
location and we'll give them an extreme God experience. And
in the middle of having that extreme God experience, every
one of those kids find the Lord. They find a peace.
They've always been looking for it. The problem is they've
been looking for that peace in all the wrong places,
you see. And once they find out that peace is

(05:57):
found in Jesus is nothing like you know. Because He
suffered for them, he bled for them, he died for
them so they could have eternal life. So when you
see somebody caught in drugs, caught in alcohol, and they're
in bondies to things, don't look down on them, but
tell them about a Jesus that loves them and wants

(06:18):
to set them free. And you see, that's the whole
thing right now. And there's a lot of darkness in
the world right now, but God is calling those that
are in darkness to come into His light. And I
don't know who's listening to me right now over the airwaves,
but I'm talking to you right now. It's just you
and me having a conversation that Jesus loves you and

(06:41):
he is calling you to come out of darkness into
his light. One of the things when I was in worship,
the Lord was saying to me. He says, you know what,
I'm calling them out of darkness into my light. Many
are coming, Are you ready? I believe many are coming.
I remember in one of the church as I used
to pastor, there was a young lady that was going

(07:04):
from church to church to church to try to get help,
and no one can help her. And then she finally
wound up at my church, which I don't passor a
church right now. I passed her a healing ministry, but
she came to the altar. And you see, the problem
was this young lady was bound by a demon and

(07:26):
none of the churches could help. And when she walked
into my church. She said to me, will you pray
for me? I said, my prayer team will pray for you.
And we weren't a Pentecostal church at that time. We
were in the Wesleyan Church, and so we took her
to the prayer room and I had my board of
directors with me and we gathered around. We began to pray,

(07:47):
and she said to me, your prayers are not doing
anything for me. And then I said, in the name
of Jesus, I command the blockage what's blocking my prayers
to be removed, And immediately we had a manifestation of
a demon, and the demon said, no, I will not
leave it. It was a male voice. And we went through

(08:09):
an hour prayer time, and finally the power of God
came in such an amazing way that set her free,
and she left our church having her mind free from
all voices. And she said to me later, she said,
I was just afraid that you might stop in the
middle of everything you were doing and not be able

(08:32):
to get me through the victory. And what happened was
she had opened the door through voodoo and through different
things like that, and that's how the demon got a foothold.
And see you know, a lot of people are messing
around with wieziboards and wigscrap and they think it's all
just innocent, but it's not. When you mess around with

(08:52):
those things, you open the door to the enemy to
do the bonic realm. The good news is Jesus came
to destroy the works of Satan and he came to
set your free. So if you're bound the good news
as you can be free. Find a church in your area.
I don't know where you live at, but don't put
yourself down because you're bound or because you're addicted to something.

(09:16):
God wants to help you. This is why my voice
is going out many times at one am in the morning,
speaking to those that are listening, those that need help,
those who need a touch from heaven. And I pray
for you right now, whoever you are that's listening right now.
I pray that you would experience a touch from heaven.

(09:39):
I pray that you would experience light in your darkness.
I pray that you experienced hope in your hopelessness. And
in the name of Jesus, I pray that God would
lead you to a church or a place where you
can get the help you need. Because the Lord said
to me, many are coming, many are coming. And he

(09:59):
said to me, I will take their chains off. I
love them. I died for them so they could be free.
And I will raise them up like a mighty army.
And he said to me, I will snatch them out
of the fire. And you see, he said, I will
put my fire on them. And so God is calling

(10:21):
people right now. He's saying, look, you know the way
of life that you are in. You know you're coming
up empty. You know you're not satisfied. And you know
I'm talking to you right now. Yes, you the one
that's listening to me. Right now, I'm talking to you.
You might be driving your car, you might be sitting

(10:41):
in your house. You might be going for a walk.
I don't know what you're doing. Maybe you're in your
Maybe you're on your farm listening listening to this in
the tractor, in the cab as you work in the fields.
I don't know where you're listening to this. But God
is calling you out of darkness. Now. If you're listening
to this and you're a mom or a dad, or
a grandma or a grandpa, and you got someone caught

(11:04):
in darkness, I want to say to you. The Bible
says in Proverbs eleven twenty one, the seed of the
righteous shall be delivered. Don't give up praying for your
loved one. Don't give up praying for them. Continue to
claim them for the kingdom of God. And you know what,
the more you pray for them, We'll give you a
little hint, the more miserable they're going to become. Because

(11:27):
when you pray, your prayers have great power to bring
capitals out of darkness into God's marvelous light. You see what,
when you're caught in darkness, you don't know what you're
really missing. You don't know what you're missing. You see,
all you're used to is that darkness. And Satan's got
you chain by shame, condemnation and lies. He tells you

(11:50):
you can't be free. You can't ever be free. Satan
says God doesn't love you. Them are all lies. Because
God loves you and he came to set you free.
That's why Jesus came. So I want to encourage you
to take heart, to be encouraged to take that step

(12:11):
to step into the light. You know what, maybe right now,
where you're at, right now, I see somebody kneeling in
their house. I can see that. I see someone crying
in the car right now. Maybe you need to say, Jesus,
I call on your name. Lord, you are the principiece. Lord,

(12:34):
you die to set me free. Jesus, I call on
your name right now, and don't just call on his name.
Say Lord, I open my heart and I open my
life to you. I asked you to forgive me of
my sins. Come into my heart, be my savior, fill

(12:56):
me with the Holy Spirit, take my chains off, and
set me free. Am men. So I just want to
encourage you if you prayed that prayer, I just want
to encourage you to find a church, find a church
home in your area, and don't be isolated. Find a body,

(13:17):
find a place to attend. That says in Isaiah sixty
one through five. A rise, shine, for your light has come.
For the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See
darkness covers the earth and thick darknesses over the people.
And see that's what it's like right now. It seems
like darkness is covering the earth and is over the people.

(13:39):
But he says, but the Lord rises upon you, and
his glory appears over you. And so the glory of God.
If you're a mom, or you're a dad, or you're
a pastor, and the glory of God is in your church,
the nations will come to you because they will want
to be free. Nations will come, come to the light

(14:01):
and kings, to the brightness of your dawn. Lift up
your eyes and look about you. All assemble and come
to you. Your sons come from Afar, and your daughters
are carried on the hip. Then you will look and
be radiant. Your heart will throb and swell with joy.
And the wealth on the seas will be brought into you.

(14:23):
And and too you the riches of the nations will come.
Your sons and your daughters are coming back home. See,
the God is calling the prodigals to come back. Some
of you that are listening right now have a son
or you have a daughter that have been away from God.
They're coming home. They're coming home. I'm telling you, don't
give up your prayers, because the Bible says, the prayers

(14:46):
of a righteous man availeth much. Do not give up
on praying for your sons your daughters. The Bible says' Joel,
in the last days, I will pour out my spirit
on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy.
So there is a promise in the book of Joel

(15:08):
for your sons and your daughters. Then Isaiah sixty one
one through four, one of my favorite scriptures. The spirit
of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord
has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
This is the good news that you can be free,
you can be healed. That's why Jesus came. He has

(15:31):
sent me. This is the prophet talking about Jesus. He
has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to
proclaim freedoms, freedom for the captives, and the release from
darkness for the prisoners. Right there, right there, if you're
caught in darkness, right there is your promise of freedom.

(15:52):
To proclaim the year of the Lord's favor and the
day of vengeance of our God. To comfort awh morn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion, to bestow
upon them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the
oil of gladness, instead of mourning. See some of you
who have been mourning for your loved ones. They're lost,

(16:14):
they're away from God, they're in darkness. And you think
they'll never get free. I'm telling you, don't give up,
don't stop. This is the day of the Lord's favor
to bestow upon them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of joy instead of mourning, and the garmor,
the praise instead of despair. They will be called oaks

(16:38):
of righteousness, applanning of the Lord. You see, the Lord
wants to take those people that have been caught in darkness,
those that have been drugs, alcohol, whatever you've been in,
and he wants to set you free. He wants to
make your misery your ministry. He wants to take the
prostitute off the street because you were never called to
be a prostitute, and he wants to bring you into

(16:59):
his kingdom. He wants you to know the God wants
every prostitute to know that they're loved by Jesus. He
wants you to come out of that lifestyle and come
to know the Lord, and you can become a daughter
of the Lord, a son or a daughter of the King.
And so and he goes. They will rebuild ancient ruins.
I'm telling you, sometimes people's lives are in ruins from

(17:22):
their lifestyle, from things they've been through. And Satan just says,
you know, give up, kill yourself and ain't worth it.
That is a lie from the pit of hell. It
is worth it. They will rebuild ancient ruins and restore
the places long devastated. They will renew ruined cities that

(17:42):
have been devastated for generations. There are some people their
lives have been devastated for generations. But God wants to
turn it around. This is the year of the Turnaro.
In the Book of Revelation, the voice from the said, behold,

(18:02):
I make all things new. I love the words of Jesus.
I am the resurrection in the life. Though you were dead,
you will live even though you die. Do you believe
that you see Jesus can bring dead things back to life.

(18:23):
He can bring hope where there's no hope, where there's hopelessness.
He can bring vision where there's no vision. He can
bring healing where there's pain. Whatever you need, He's there
for you. That's why my voice is a voice in
the darkness, as a voice usually at one am in
the morning, or a voice that goes over the Healing
Begins podcast channel. Jesus wants you to know he loves you.

(18:49):
The Lord wants you to know that you are valuable
to him. No matter what you've been through, no matter
what you've done, you are valuable to him. He wants
you to know that. He wants you to know that
so much much today that wherever you're at right now,
he knows where you are. If you turn to him
and ask his forgiveness, he will not only forgive you,

(19:10):
but he will wash away the very stain of the
sin that you've been involved with, it says in Isaiah
one to eighteen. Come now, let us reason together, declares
the Lord. Though your sins be a scarlet, they shall
be white like wall, Though they be red like crimson,
they shall be white like snow. There's nothing you've done,

(19:31):
there's no sin you've committed that God can't forgive and
wash away. Then, it says in first John one nine,
if we can confess our sins, he is faithful and
just and will forgive us of our sins and cleanse
us from all on righteousness. You know how much all

(19:53):
is in the Greek All that was my bad humor
for the day. And so right now, in the name
of g as he's calling you, Lord, I pray for
those that feel like they're a hopeless cause and a
hopeless case. I pray that they would know, Lord, that
there is always hope in you. Lord, Jeremiah twenty nine

(20:15):
to eleven says, know the plans I have for you,
declare the Lord plans to prosper you and not harm you.
Plans to give you a hope and an expected end.
So Jesus wants you to know that he loves you,
that he cares about you. And Lord, I pray that
your love, your love, Lord, that surpasses all knowledge, would

(20:40):
go out over the airwaves that I'm praying right now
and would touch the hearts and the lives of those
that are listening. Lord, let the place where they're at
right now be filled with your glory, be filled with
your presence. I pray for those that need physical healing

(21:00):
right now, that they would experience your healing touch on
their physical bodies right now. I pray for those that
are suffering from mental health illnesses, that you would bring
peace to the mind. Lord, You are the master of
the winds and the waves, and I pray that you
would bring peace to the mind and hope to the soul.

(21:23):
His Father. I pray for those that are abound by addiction. Lord,
I pray that you would come, and I pray that
you would break every single chain that has them bound.
Now in the name of Jesus and through the blood
of the Lamb, I pray that you would break every

(21:45):
chain that has them bound now in the name of Jesus,
through the power of his name. Lord, you are so good.
You are so good. There's always always hope, So let
your hope go forward. I'm remembered of the scripture you
said for this very reason, the Son of Man was

(22:07):
manifest to destroy the devil's works. And I remembered the
scripture that says, when the sun has set you free,
you are free. Indeed, So I pray right now in
the name of Jesus, that people would call on your
name and invite you into their hearts and ask Lord

(22:29):
that you would break their chains. Lord, thank you for
loving us, and thank you for dying on the cross
for us. I want to thank you for joining me,
for healing begins. And I just want to say, May
the Lord bless you, May the Lord keep you. May
the Lord cause his face to shine upon you and

(22:49):
be gracious to you. May you know in your heart
that there is nothing that you are bound by that
God can't for you from and there's always hope in
Jesus God bless have a good morning. We live in
