Did you know? It's popular today to tear down.It's popular today to try and destroy lives
and families. It's trendy to rage against so-calledinjustices when really most people are just
tearing down innocent people and destroyinglives all in the name of a supposed good cause.
Darkness is upset and it wants to tear downGod and everything God has, including God's
(00:25):
people. Darkness wants to stir up trouble, teareverything down and make everything look bad.
Does what you're saying or doing look and soundlike darkness? Are you upset and want to lash
out at everyone? Do you want to tear down peopleinstead of building them up? If so, quite possibly
you're on the wrong side. The atmosphere isloud and just wants to stir you up to be upset
(00:49):
with it. It wants to stir you into a frenzy.To be mad at people. Cut people off. Turn against
people. Lash out. Treat people mean. Give intoold ways and old patterns. It wants you to
be suspicious of people, question people's motives.It speaks lies about people and wants you to
go along with it. It wants you to believe peopleare against you and want to harm you or hold
(01:15):
you back from the good that you deserve. It'sjust looking for mindless, selfish followers
and caters to your fears, insecurities, andyour hurts. It's a liar and wants to convince
you to believe it's lies. Sadly. Christianseverywhere are participating with this darkness
that is ultimately against God. They are beingswept up with the mob that wants to burn everything
(01:39):
down. Have you been hurt? Have you been mistreated?Have you been wronged? Well join us and let's
burn this place down. We will show them. Allover the world, leaders, men, women, pastors,
families, have been the target of this darkcampaign. and many of them have taken the full
(01:59):
brunt of this onslaught of destruction. Notall are innocent, of course, but I'm not talking
about those that have done true wrong. I'm talkingabout the majority, whose only crime is that
they truly love God or truly want to serve Him.We let our hurts and our disappointments become
a hook to darkness and allow it to fester inus and cause us to be swept away by this mob
(02:24):
of hostility. If we were alive in Jesus' day,we would be the ones yelling, crucify him.
And like I said, it's not even really againstthese people. It's really against God. The
atmosphere is upset and wants God to look bad.It wants to hurt God. And if you are participating
(02:44):
with this attitude or cause, then you are participatingwith darkness against God. You may think that
it's just justice because you've been so wronged.But in reality, if you allow yourself to be
connected, to this kind of atmosphere. You arejust participating with darkness against heaven.
It's like when someone you know is upset andthey get you all upset about what they're upset
(03:07):
about, even though you weren't even there. Youdon't even know the whole story, yet you are
offended for them, caught up in their rage.It's the same now. The atmosphere is just upset
and raging towards God, and it wants you tobe upset too. And we blindly go along, We don't
have the full story. Even if your hurts arejustified, don't be swept along with this rage
(03:33):
against God that wants to tear down and makehim look bad. Don't let your hurts or your
disappointments or offense become a connectionto darkness. I can't believe they did that.
I can't believe they treated you that way. Youdeserve so much more. How dare them. You should
make them pay. Be careful. It's the same darknessthat crucified Jesus. Are you really sure you
(03:59):
want to listen? You think you have a right?You think you're justified? Look at Jesus,
who had every right to come off that cross andburn the whole place down. Instead, said, forgive
them God. Why? Because he was just so spiritual?No, he had to truly be free within to accomplish
(04:21):
what he was about to accomplish. It wasn't abouthis right to be upset. It was about restoring
honor to his father. He had to let go of everything,be completely free within in order to restore
the honor. We have the same choice. What's moreimportant, be upset, be right, be justified,
(04:42):
lash out, prove our point, or restore honor.May there be a turning now in the heavens.
May God start to restore these men and women,these leaders, these families, Heal them of
these attacks against them. Heal them of thehurt and restore them. May life start to return
(05:04):
to people all over the world. But not just tothem. They have taken the onslaught, sure.
But more importantly, let honor start to berestored to God. All of these attacks are ultimately
against Him. May honor to His name be restoredtoday. May honor be restored to heaven. How
(05:27):
much greater is it to really been hurt or reallybeen wronged and yet choose to let it go? Choose
to let something greater than hurt or bitternessfill us. Choose to build up instead of tearing
down. Right now, in churches everywhere, peoplewould start to pray in ways they haven't in
(05:48):
a long time. To worship like we haven't worshippedin a while. to sing with a voice that's been
buried far too long, to receive like we haven'treceived in a long, long time, or maybe never
have. May your voice, your love, your worship,be unleashed again and not be buried. That
(06:09):
God would start to fan those smoldering embersback into a raging fire within, that God would
reignite us, reignite our hearts, set us ablazeso we can in turn send that honor right back
towards heaven where it belongs. God heal yourpeople so we can blanket heaven with honor.
(06:31):
Let the sound of worship and honor towards Godbe the response here on earth. Let it silence
the dishonor. Let hearts be full of joy andthe fullness of God erupt towards heaven. Let
the atmosphere be restored with honor, withpraise, with adoration. Let it drown out the
negativity and the darkness. Today, let honorto God be restored in us, in this earth and
(06:57):
in the heavens. Restore your people, yes. Healthem, yes. But more importantly, let honor
be restored to your name, God. Remove the dishonorin us, and let your name be made great today.
