(302) “Strategies for Defeating Your Enemy” (Part 5)

0:00 God is leading people to do this redeeming of the land, to set people free from these broken covenants, to set people free from the shedding of innocent blood, to set people free from the sexual immorality and the idolatry and the witchcraft, the occult practices. All of these things cause a curse to come on the land so that the inhabitants will be vomited out. God promises in Joel 2 .28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global Outpouring. We contend for that promise outpouring. We equip for that outpouring so that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to the podcast today. We are going to continue in this series.

0:55 We're finishing it up this time, I think. this series of strategies for defeating your enemy. This is part five, and we're going to talk about something that, well, it will make the devil numb. It's called redeeming the land. Hallelujah. Thank you so much for joining us today. We're so delighted that you're with us.

There's just nothing else quite like it. There are some great conferences out there. I know there's some great conferences out there, and they can be absolutely life -changing. But you need to develop some relationships that are going to go on for eternity. You need to get into a place where you can go deeper in your study of the Word, and the worship is out of this world. Last year, we had like 16 nations represented, and we're looking to have more this year. And I noticed with some other conferences, one or two people out there with their flags, and they're flagging with all their hearts. Well, at our convention, you can go back to our YouTube channel and look at some of the things that we've done at our conventions, and you'll see all kinds of people out there with their flags. So if you're a flagger, come on, bring your flags. There's room. There's going to be a place for that. And it's a family event. We want you to bring your children. This is a place where we have something for everyone. So come and get acquainted, get better acquainted with us. So today we are moving forward with this final big blow kind of a strategy for defeating your enemy. And it's called Redeeming the Land. This is the book that Sister Gwen Shaw

4:00 wrote back in the 1980s. 1986. 1986. Yes. Yes. Because. Can I just put a plug? Oh, please do. Because I was the printer. Yes. And I was printing this book. And on page 109, I'm reading it. I'm just kind of proofreading as I'm printing. And it talks about the Prince of Persia. Yes. And it talks about, and if America is not careful, it will soon be at war with this prince in the Persian Gulf. Yes. That was 1986. And guess where we were in 1990? Yep. We were in the Persian Gulf and we went to war. Yep. So there's a lot of prophetic. Yes. Sister Gwen writes prophetically.

4:41 And this was the first book of its kind to come out. Yes. And it was after this one, in fact, Different authors called Sister Gwen, said, Sister Gwen, I borrowed from your book, or the Lord's been speaking to me about this. Yes. But Sister Gwen was a forerunner. She was. Just like she, on the other books we mentioned, she was one of the first ones out there. Then all of a sudden, a couple of years later, it's the big revelation to hit the church. That's true. But this one had a supernatural start on even how it happened. Yes. It was very powerful. Do you want to do that real quick? Oh, yeah. Let's tell that story. Okay. We received this video in the mail and it was a ministry, David Crank Ministries. It was out of St. Louis. And so we're watching this and he says, we are going to video tonight, Sunday night. We usually don't video Sunday night, but the Holy Spirit said to do this. So they're videoing the service and he starts prophesying things to come within a year, like hotel fires, you know, don't stay in resort hotels. And I can't remember all the other things. And we watched this, and this actually happened. And there was San Juan, Puerto Rico had a big hotel fire, and then something else happened. And then he says, God's going to confirm this word with signs following.

5:57 And he starts calling people out with all kinds of sicknesses, and they get instantly healed. And then he turns to a lady and says, does the name Gwen Shaw mean anything to you? And of course, that was our founder, Gwen Shaw. And she did know her. Yeah. And the lady knew her. And so she said, yes. And he starts prophesying to Sister Gwen in proxy over this lady. It all rhymed. It was all like in poetry. And the last line he gave was, and I'm going to give her a tool that will make the devil numb. Yes. So we're watching this and we're getting ready to go to Israel. So we take that with us. We fly there with the Feast of Tabernacles. And Sister Gwen was one of the speakers in the big convention there. And we're watching this together out in the foyer. And what is God trying to say? You know, what's more stronger than everything we have just talked about? Recession, prayer, fasting?

6:53 Yes. But this was something different. And it was from there, Sister Gwen left from Israel and went to South Africa. I think it was Yom. And met two brothers there. These two brothers that the Lord gave the revelation of redeeming the land. And that's how this book came about. So they told her that, I think it was just one brother that she met at that time and met another one later who instructed the one she met. And he taught her and she brought home the revelation and wrote the book, adding all of the scriptural basis for it and all kinds of details that he never went into. So that's how the book came to be. And in 1987 was our first Redeeming the Land trip. And we took a team of, I forget how many we had. About eight or so. And we spent a month in France. And we camped and we were redeeming the land over France. And the beaches of Normandy was our main target. All the blood that was spilled in World War II. Yes. And we went on the five beaches. We went to Dieppe.

8:05 We went to Dunkirk. And it was a powerful time in the Lord. We were there for four weeks, came home. It was about two weeks later, we left for Israel. And we stopped in France. We had a couple of days. We had a small convention there with people, with our tour group. And we toured Israel, came back to France, and they just had a big storm. It's like a hurricane. It was a hurricane. Hurricane went through the English Channel. Almost unheard of. That's crazy. And even before we arrived, the airport got knocked out in Paris because of the winds. And we thought, that's really unique. And it was some months later, this one other brother that Sister Gwen met, we invited him to come. It was our branch officer's retreat, and it was in January, I believe. And he says, do you know the rest of the story? It's kind of like Paul Harvey, you know, the rest of the story. Those of you who remember him.

9:02 He told them what we did. Why don't you share, Sharon, what he told us about the Lydia group that came out of... He told us that there was this group of ladies that were from Lydia, which is an intercessory prayer group in England, that they would go to the English Channel on the English side and pray over it year after year. Every year they would go there and they would see such darkness and such demonic activity going on across the channel in France. And so... After we had been there and redeemed the land, just so you can see what God did. It's not about what we did. It's about what God did. God cleansed the place. And when they came back, they saw this angelic activity was going on and everything that had been dark before was light. And the man said that there were witches' covens that had been meeting on that beach and they were getting power out of the blood that had been shed. There's so much shedding of innocent blood.

10:01 That happened during the war. It was terrible. On D -Day, it was just mowing down the soldiers as they were coming in. I think on Omaha, there was a dead body every six feet. That's how bad it was. It was terrible. Americans. Yeah. So what he said was that when that hurricane went through there, it destroyed what the witches had been doing there. All their covens. It wiped them all out. Yeah. And he said they were so mad because they knew it was a power greater than what they had. And that's the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of his blood. And after that, revival came to England, and it did cross over to France. Yes, it was the first time that revival had come to France for probably centuries. There was a move of God when the Huguenots, you know, the Protestants, came into the things of God, and there was a powerful move of God then.

10:47 But there really hadn't been anything because there had been a terrible massacre of the Huguenots. And that's another story. We won't go into that. What we did in France, we camped all over France. Yes. And we would go on the street corner with our guitars. There was three of us. We had guitars. And the rest of the team was giving our Who is Jesus track out. And we're at this one particular place. They were not taking the tracks. That's true. It was just totally because, you know, France has a lot of darkness in it. And so we went from there, we went to the Fort of William the Conqueror. Yes, because we weren't having any success on the street. We weren't having any success. Let's go, let's deal with some things, what happened here. So Sharon, you tell what happened when we were in the Fort of William the Conqueror. So there wasn't much time before closing time. No. And so we were going around and praying over the place, walking the place, asking the Lord to show us things that we needed to deal with in the Spirit. And as we did this, I had a vision. And in the vision, I saw these soldiers in chain mail and they were angry looking and they were coming with a sword and they were going to deal with us. And I started to laugh.

12:02 And I laughed and I laughed. It was holy laughter. That's one of the things that was in the book that we did last episode of God's End Time Battle Plan. Holy laughter will deal with your enemy. It's just so powerful. So I laughed and I laughed and I laughed. And this angry soldier in chain mail, his face changed and he looked a little intimidated and he put his sword down and he turned and he walked away. And I didn't know until, I don't know if it was months or years later, that my dad told me that on my mother's side, there was a lineage back to William the Conqueror. And so... Sharing the conqueror. Well, and at the time, I was expecting. And so our daughter would also have the same lineage. So the two of us were ganged up together, laughing together. And I suppose she was laughing with me. At least she must have been in agreement.

13:04 And this thing just slunk away. And we went back to the same street, same spot. sang the same songs, and people took the tracts and read them. The ones who took the tracts on the previous time, they'd throw them on the ground. So something happened in the Spirit. So we're going to talk about what this is and why it works. And just to give you an overview, you have to understand that the earth belongs to the Lord. It's His. He made it. He's the King. where it says, the Lord reigns, or if you're King James, the Lord reigneth. The Lord reigns. What that means in the Hebrew is Yehovah is king. He's the king.

13:52 It's not just that he's reigning. He is the king. It's making the declaration he's the king. He's the king of the universe, obviously. He's the king of everything beyond the universe. And he's the king of the earth, and it belongs to him. Psalm 24, 1 says, the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. So everything belongs to him. And just remember that our bodies are a part of the earth. I mean, our bodies are mostly formed of minerals from the earth, minerals and water, and the spirit of life, the breath. So once the spirit leaves and the body dies, it goes back to minerals, right? So when we are dealing with the things that God says about the earth, we can also apply that to our bodies. And when it says, let the earth rejoice, you know, it's good for our bodies to get into the act of rejoicing.

14:52 And that means to spin around, to leap, to jump, to give God glory because he's worthy of our praise. So it all belongs to him. It's all his. And Psalm 89, 11 says, the heavens are yours. The earth also is yours. As for the world and the fullness thereof, you have founded them. So it all belongs to him. And then we learn that sin defiles the land and it brings a curse on it. Yeah. So if you look at Genesis 3, 17. God is saying to Adam, because you have hearkened to the voice of your wife and eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, you shall not eat of it. Cursed is the ground for your sake.

15:39 In sorrow you shall eat of it all the days of your life. So the beginning of the curse comes from sin. So when there is sin taking place, it causes a curse to come on the ground, on the land. And so as a result, of the curse that comes with sin. Remember, God said, if you eat of that, dying you shall die. Most English translations, it says, you shall surely die. But in the Hebrew, it says, dying you shall die. So it means that there's a dying process that has started as a result of your disobedience to the Word of God. So the first thing that happens in Genesis 3 .18, it says, thorns and thistles. Shall it bring forth to you, and you shall eat the herb of the field. So there weren't any thorns or thistles prior to the disobedience and the sin of Adam and Eve. We're still dealing with those. Yeah, we are. But I think it's very significant that Jesus bore a crown of thorns. I think them smashing that on his head and causing him such intense pain, and it wasn't just a little circlet. Like a halo. It was a whole cap, a whole helmet like of thorns that was smashed into his head. And so the devil was trying to like drive home the curse. And in a way, that was exactly what needed to happen for the curse to be broken. That Jesus'

17:14 innocent blood was shed to deal with the thorns. And to deal with those things that poke us and give us pain and that sort of thing. The thorns in our lives. Exactly. Exactly. So here's, I've got lots of scriptures about this, but we're not going to take time for all of them. And I'm not trying to teach from the book. The book is full of so much more information. So if you're interested in more of this. you should order this book. You can get it as a book or you can get it as a PDF, download it from our website. So one of the scriptures that I want to bring along these lines is Isaiah 24, 5. It says, the earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

18:07 So sin Breaks covenant. It breaks covenant. Sin, it's defiled. Okay. Sin causes the earth itself to be defiled. And that's where redeeming the land will make a difference because God wants us to understand that we can do something about this because he's made provision. And so one of the things that people who practice occult, dark arts, witchcraft, sorcery, occult practices, they understand this principle, and they are trying to get the earth under a curse so that they can control the people who live there. And what they do is they cause sin to take place in a triangulation. So it's in three places, they'll create a triangle, and they'll even create a triangle over the points of the triangle. To try and keep... Fortify it. Yeah, to fortify it. What it does is it creates a canopy of darkness and curse over the land. So you have these things that will bring curses to the land, these transgressions, and it will cause a dark activity to go on there.

19:25 It's like there can be like a serial murder, and he would only operate in one spot, in one area, not across the street here or over there. It was just one area. And I remember it was our brother that he was a seer, Henry Groover. He could walk down the street and he would know right where a abortion clinic was. Right. Because he could hear the blood crying out in the sewer. Yep. So you can see how the land is defiled by the shedding of innocent blood. Yeah. Remember how Abel's blood was crying out to the Lord. Yeah. My brother's blood cries from the ground. Yes. Yeah. So your life is in the blood. Right. That's in Deuteronomy 2. Yes. The life of the flesh is in the blood. That's true. So when they succeed in defiling the land by sin, it creates a spiritual stupor that keeps the minds of the inhabitants of the land from receiving the gospel.

20:21 So these places that have a hardness towards the gospel, there has been sin taking place on the land. And we have to deal with that in order to get the gospel through. Okay. Yeah. So what are some of the specific types of sin that defile the land? Okay. So let's look at them. I think there's five big ones. So the first one is idolatry. And God is just so specific about idolatry over and over in the scriptures. And one of the things is right there in the Ten Commandments. Exodus 20, verses 3 to 5, it says, You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make unto yourselves any graven image or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down yourself to them nor serve them. For I, Yehovah your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. Leviticus 26 .1 says, You shall make no idols or graven image, neither rear up to you a standing image.

21:29 So a standing image can be an obelisk. Where do we have obelisks? Not a good thing. Yeah, right at our capital. Right. Neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land to bow down to it. I am the Lord your God. Leviticus 19 .4 says, Turn not to idols, nor make yourself molten images. I am Yehovah your God. You don't need to have some object of stone or wood to worship. I'm the living God. I think he said in Jeremiah where he says, in captivity, they'll throw their idols to the moles and to the bats. I use that now and then. Yes, when he's talking about taking out the garbage. Send it to the moles and the bats. So Psalm 97 .7. says, confounded be all that serve graven images that boast themselves of idols. Worship him, all you gods. So there's a confounding of the minds that takes place when people worship idols. And you can see that in India. You can see that where people are bowing down to images in other places. There's something that happens that they can't quite reason themselves out of, The Bible is so clear. There's a passage where it talks about how a man will cut down a tree and he'll use part of it to cook with and to warm himself. And then he takes another part of the tree to make an idol to bow to. And

23:01 there's another scripture that talks about how people who are serving idols become dumb like they are. And that word dumb in this case is unable to speak. So the things that you speak when you're in idolatry are not going to bear. good fruit. You're not going to have the goodness. There's no value to it. So, idolatry brings a curse. Now, we have idolatry in our culture, in Freemasonry and those kinds of secret societies. And we have that in our culture. We need to deal with that. And I know that many people have been praying and dealing in their own areas, dealing with the Freemasonry. And Freemasonry is shutting down in lots of places. There's lots of those lodges that are closing. They can't seem to get the next generation interested. They're just not having success. Thank God. Thank God. Because people have been out there praying because idolatry defiles the land. So the next thing, next really biggie, this is a huge biggie. Yeah, that's sexual immorality. Yes. So sexual immorality is absolutely huge. And our founder, Sister Gwen Shaw, also wrote a book called Ashtoreth, Goddess of Lust, that goes way deeply into the details of how

24:32 that spirit works and how it causes defilement and all that stuff. So I recommend that you get that one. Yeah. Even in the temple, before it was destroyed, had Ashtaroth, had all these statues of all these gods, Egyptian gods. And you can read that in the book of Ezekiel. Yes. What actually happened where nobody else gets to go except the priest. And now they're bowing down to the east and worshiping the sun god. This is going on in the temple. Right. Yeah. And Isaiah, he was already on the way in captivity. And the Lord took him, like the King James, by a lock of his ear, lifted him up and shows him what's going on in the temple. And this is why you're going into captivity. Because when there's corruption in the priesthood, that's your covering. God is your covering. But if there's a crack in your covering, it's not going to go good for you.

25:27 Very true. Very true. And one of the things that God talks about with idolatry, he calls it adultery. And because he is the God and the covenant was like a marriage covenant. So you can see that there's a parallel there. But the idolatry that was taking place also had sexual immorality built in that they would be temple prostitutes. And so, you know, they had this idea from the Canaanites in the neighborhood that. if they would sow their personal seed into one of these temple prostitutes, that it would give them good fertility on their crops. So anyway, Leviticus chapters 18 through 20 explain what all of the forbidden sexual practices are. So, you know, it goes into incest. Incest is forbidden by God and it spells out, you know, who not to have sex with. And it talks about adultery. and homosexuality, and having sex with an animal. And the thing that he says in Leviticus 20, verses 22 to 23, it says, You shall therefore keep all my statutes and all my judgments and do them that the land where I bring you to dwell therein spew you not out. And you shall not walk in the manners of the nations which I cast out before you, for they committed all these things,

26:59 and therefore I abhorred them. So what happens is that if you practice all this forbidden sexuality, the land at some point will vomit out the inhabitants. And that's what was going on in Canaan. It was just full of those kind of practices. And God hates that. And so he saw to it that the land would cooperate in throwing out the inhabitants. So if we have all kinds of sexual immorality going on in our area, in our neighborhood, in our cities, in our states, in our nations, we need to do something about it in prayer, in the spirit, to deal with these things, to set the people free in their minds and get them off of the spirit of lust. So one of the things that causes this also. Yeah, that's a cult practice.

27:53 Yes. Exactly. The occult. Yes. So people who are practicing occult practices are busy trying to get people to sin. Remember the story of Balaam, the prophet from, was he from Amalek? Anyway, the pagan prophet. Pagan prophet, yeah. So Balaam, the pagan prophet, is begged by Balak, the king of Moab, to come and curse Israel. So he takes him to three different places and all Balaam can do is bless. Because, you know, he knows that there's a sword, an angel with a sword waiting for him if he disobeys what God says to do, what God says to say. But then he goes around behind and he explains to the king of Moab and the king of the Amalekites. And he tells them, I can't curse them. But you can cause them to bring the curse on themselves by sexual immorality and by idolatry. If you can get them to sin, then they're open where they're going to be cursed.

29:02 Isn't that amazing? A pagan understood that. Yeah, he understood that. Spiritual principle. So these occult practices are busy. These people that are doing these things are trying desperately. to keep people under a curse so that they will be kept in darkness, that they won't accept the gospel, that they won't let the light in, and these people can operate in their darkness freely. And so God wants us to understand that all of this occult activity, that's number three. That's a huge part of the big five. In 2 Kings, in chapter 21 and verse 6, And he made his son, this is one of the kings, pass through the fire. This was Molech. And observed times, used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards.

29:54 He wrought much wickedness in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. See, Israel had good kings and had bad ones. When they had three bad ones in a row, they went into captivity. It's true. And that is true in any city or any government. But the righteous... If you know what you're fighting against, the blood of Jesus can deal with this. Absolutely. So among the occult practices, you have this clarity or how shall I say it? It's more like a veil of deception that comes over the people and it causes them to believe lies and it causes them to love lies and it causes them to make lies and believe them.

30:36 And so coming under this deception, this is pure. father of lies stuff. And we know who that is. We know that is the accuser. It's the snake, the serpent, the dragon. It's the same guy. And he's busy trying to deceive and trying to, because he wants control. But if we will do what the Word of God says to do, if we'll line up with him, he will help us. to bring light where there is darkness. Yeah. So, you know, God wants to set these people free. Yeah. So we're trying to give you some tools that will help make the devil numb in your place. And one of the big things also bringing a curse is shedding of innocent blood. Absolutely. Absolutely. That's a big one.

31:26 Yeah. And God says in Numbers 35, 33 says, So you shall not pollute the land wherein you are, for blood it defiles the land. And the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. God brings the principle of capital punishment right off the bat. You shed the blood. Your blood has to be shed. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. Yes, and blood for blood. Blood for blood. You know, this is what God set up so that blood has to pay for blood. And that's why he instituted that the next of kin becomes the slayer of the person who killed their kin. Okay. And that takes away the defilement of the land, the shedding of innocent blood. You have to shed the guilty blood to cover the innocent blood. And it says in Isaiah 26, 21. For behold, the Lord, or Yehovah, comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also shall disclose her blood and shall no more cover her slain. So wherever there's shedding of innocent blood, somebody needs to deal with this, right?

32:46 So what's the remedy? So the remedy for sin is blood. Exactly. Jesus' blood. Yes. And remember, all the way going back to the Exodus, in order to prevent the destroyer from coming to their houses, they had to kill a lamb and put its blood on the doorposts and the lintel. So it was the sacrifice of animals that went all through the Old Testament, all the way up to the time of Jesus. They were still sacrificing animals. Right. But when Jesus came and gave his own blood, shed his own blood, for remission for our sins, and the blood of bulls and goats doesn't work anymore.

33:29 That's not necessary. That's not necessary because the sacrifice was paid once and for all through the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen. So you have in Hebrews 9 .22, it says, And almost all things are by the law purged with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission. If you want. to be free from the results of your sin, you have to have some kind of a blood sacrifice. And we don't do it with bulls and goats anymore. And then Hebrews 10, 19 says, having therefore brethren boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. It's the blood of Jesus that we use from the time that he shed it until now and moving forward. And then Hebrews 12, 24 says, and to Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant and to the blood of sprinkling. that speaks better things than that of Abel. Remember, Abel's blood is crying out to God. And Jesus' blood is saying, Father, forgive them. They know not what they do. Yeah. Well, what happens if there's an unsolved murder of some kind? Okay. I love the fact that God gave a plan, even in the Old Testament. He gave a plan that is the pattern for what we do today. It's called a whodunit. And if you have an unsolved murder, you don't know who did it.

34:50 So what God said to do in Deuteronomy 21, 1 through 9, he tells them to send the elders of the villages in the area to go out and measure from where the dead body was to their place. And whichever town is the closest, their elders will bring a priest and take... a heifer, out into a rough place. And the Levite or the priest will shed the blood of the heifer. And what I love is that they pray this prayer. And it says, verse 5, And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near. For them, the Lord, Yehovah, your God, has chosen to minister unto him and to bless in the name of Yehovah. And by their word, shall every controversy and every stroke be tried.

35:49 Verse 6, And all the elders of that city that are next unto the slain man shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley. So they take the head off of the heifer. And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it. Be merciful, O Lord. Be merciful, Yehovah. unto your people Israel whom you have redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge, and the blood shall be forgiven them. So shall you put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you shall do that which is right in the sight of the Lord. So the Lord made provision for the elders to come and deal with the shedding of innocent blood. And so that is... It's the substitution of the heifer that takes care of the blood that should have been shed of the murderer. The murderer's blood should have been shed, but if you don't know who it was and you don't have any idea, you've got this curse hanging over you. You've got to deal with it somehow. And so that is the pattern for what we're rolling out here for redeeming the land.

37:04 So Jesus, of course, was our sin offering. He paid for every sin that ever has been and ever will be with his own blood. So what did he give us to express what his blood is, right? That's the communion. Right, the Holy Communion. And we did almost a whole podcast about whosoever sins you remit, they are remitted. In other words, you can step in to help to forgive some sins that have taken place. And the fifth one that I didn't mention is the breaking of covenants. So you've got all kinds of covenant breaking going on. You look back in our history in this country and in every country, there's been promises made by governments to people groups. You've got all of the indigenous people of this nation that had covenant after covenant broken. And it causes a curse to come on the land. And so God is leading people. to do this redeeming of the land, to set people free from these broken covenants, to set people free from the shedding of innocent blood, to set people free from the sexual immorality and the idolatry and the witchcraft, the occult practices. All of these things cause a curse to come on the land so that the inhabitants will be vomited out. And that is part of the plan that the serpent is using and using. people

38:35 who have bought his lies, to bring curses on people and to bring curses on the land so that the good people will be pushed out and the dark people, and when I say that I'm talking about spiritual darkness, that they will come in and inhabit the land only really, really the land will vomit them out. You know, God wants to establish righteousness. So when we have an understanding of something that needs to be done, and please hear me, don't do this presumptuously. Don't do this just because, oh, let's go do this, because I can see that this needs to be done. You do it by prayer. You do it by fasting. You set yourselves aside. You have, you know, at least it's better to have more than one. two or three. You might have more people that understand this and get a burden for it. But make sure that you use the blood of Jesus Christ over your own sins so that you don't leave yourself open for backlash. You don't do this presumptuously because that will open. a backlash. But when you do this with clarity from the Holy Spirit that this is something he wants you to do, or a certain group of people, that you will come together and you will go to the place where there's been shedding of innocent

40:08 blood or sexual immorality. We had a group, I think it was in Kansas City, that they found that there was a lot of rape going on in a certain area. I don't know, decades or a hundred years or whatever before in more like frontier times when there was a lot of rough stuff going on, that there was a brothel in that place, a house of prostitution. And so there was this sexual immorality that was going on. And so that gave an open door to the spirit of lust, to the spirit of rape. It's a legal right. It gave that guy, whoever was doing this serial raping, a legal right to go there. and do this in a park. I mean, it became a park now, but back then it was a brothel. So these ladies went out and did what we're about to describe and it stopped the raping.

41:02 There was no more raping going on. So I want to explain to you that when you have a clarity and when you have a time that God says, okay, now go do this. You can go to these places and whoever is there with you, you just begin. to worship the Lord and give him glory and give him honor and fill the place, fill the atmosphere with worship, fill the atmosphere with praise and just declare the anointing, declare the power of the living God over this land that the earth belongs to him. It's his. He's the one who gets.

41:43 to do what he wants to do. And we're in cooperation with him. We are working with him. It's God and sons wonder working company. And we're working with him in conjunction with him in the family business. And so we're just giving him glory and we're giving him honor. And then we take the communion elements and we ask the Lord to see the broken body of the Lord Jesus Christ. broken. He was shredded for the sins that have taken place in this place. I think even before you do that, you kind of walk around and you ask the Lord to show you what has taken place there, the things that need to be prayed about.

42:23 Yeah, I remember one of the stories that were in Africa in a desert area. It was a dry area, and the intercessors were seeing in the spirit a crocodile. Oh, yeah. And they mentioned that, and then the guy or the person that took him in, the pastor, whatever, said, these people are called the people of the crocodile. So that was the ruling spirit, even though there wasn't an actual water with crocodiles, but it was the ruling spirit that was there. But it was revealed unto them so they knew how to deal with what they had to do. Yes. So you make sure that you ask the Holy Spirit to give you guidance on what to pray about. Yeah. And then you take the Holy Communion and you take the broken body. And you receive that communion for your own body and, you know, the people that are with you. And then you plant it in the earth. You are sharing with the earth. Because remember, you're part of the real estate of earth. Okay? And remember that Jesus' blood was actually shed onto the earth.

43:25 We don't want to get religious about, oh, no, you can't do that with the Holy Communion. It's too holy. It is. holy. And it is for the healing of the land as much as it is for the healing of our land, our bodies. So it's also good for the land. So you plant some into the land where you feel that sins have taken place in the past. And then you take the cup and you remind everything that has happened there that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin. And you take the Holy Communion and, you know, just pray into it. We had a time when we had something unknown going on in our house. We had a terrible smell that would come up from time to time. And we didn't know what it was. And we didn't know what it was. And we were trying to get somebody to find it. Nobody could find where that came from.

44:20 And we went out into the front yard and we began to pray and have communion together. And Mary Lois's mother took the cup. And she held it up and she began to pray in tongues. And it was like she was praying in some kind of Indian Native American dialect. Yeah, really. It was like the presence of God came down. And you could tell that this was a very significant moment of praying in the spirit and dealing with. Whatever spiritual entities were there. And you could feel it at night, walking up to the house a certain way. Yes. You could just feel something. There was something dark there. Something there, but you didn't know what it was. No, you didn't know what it was. It was creepy, creepy, creepy. And when we redeemed the land there, and she held that up and she prayed, and we shared the cup with the ground, something happened. Yeah, because, you know, the blood of Jesus. spilled on the ground when he was crucified. Absolutely. When he was whipped. Yeah, yeah. And even pieces of his flesh went to the ground as well. This is my blood shed, my body shredded, broken, shredded for you. Yeah, exactly. And then many times we also take oil, which is a type of the Holy Spirit.

45:41 And we ask the Lord to send his blessings because you don't want to just break the curse. You want to add blessings in his place, you know. So we pray over the oil and we pour the oil into the ground as well and ask the Lord to pour out his spirit on that land. Pour out of his spirit on the people. Set them free from the things that are troubling their minds and keeping them from receiving the gospel. So the rest of the story on the house is that the plumber came and he opened up the landing of the stairway. He just knew to do it. Yeah. He hadn't had any idea before that because it was like sewer gas that we were smelling. So it was a pipe put in there and it was supposed to have a cap on the top of it.

46:30 Yeah. And it was never capped. Yep. So you had the wood over it. Then we had a carpet was put over it. But that should have been capped. So that was like an open vent. Yeah, it was a vent. It was a vent is what it was. Why that was there, you know, somebody goofed. But it didn't fix the goof when they finished it. Yeah, I think it was a case of one person hadn't finished their job and the next guy came along and started his job. But anyway, not only did that get taken care of, but also that creepy feeling left. Yeah, that was gone. It was gone. It was gone. God saw to it. So, you know, the beautiful thing is that God teaches us. He teaches our hands to war. He teaches our fingers to fight. And he's so good about giving us strategies for helping us to defeat our enemy. And this is a huge one that makes the devil numb. Yeah. And a shofar, too. Oh, yes. That was the shofar. You know, God only reveals things at certain times when it's the right season. And it was after that, about maybe five or six years, when the shofar started coming. was used as an instrument of worship. Because you can use that. An instrument of warfare, too. It's an instrument of warfare.

47:48 And when you blow that, you know, and redeeming the land, you're calling the demonic to attention. They see what's going on. Yep. That's why you have to be a pure, holy vessel. Yes. Because you don't want any backlash. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Because when we went to Tibet our first time. Oh, my. You know, we felt like we were walking on spiritual eggshells. Somebody blew the shofar, one of the first ones that I knew to use a shofar. And she almost didn't survive. It was that serious. Yeah, terrible backlash. And our mandate going into Tibet was not to confront the abode of the gods. That's what they call Tibet because of its altitude. But we were to build a beachhead of worship. Yes, a place for God to land. And worship goes before the warriors.

48:33 The warriors worship. So using that shofar. the wrong way, opened a door for an attack. So it's using wisdom when you do things. And that's why you have spiritual people, the intercessors around when you do this, and it's not something you do by yourself. Yes. So we want to encourage you that you can redeem your own land where you live. You can pray over your house and use anointing oil all over your house and anoint your house and give it to God. and command that every spiritual entity that doesn't belong there, you know, bring the blood of Jesus Christ to bear against it and go outside and redeem the land itself. And as the Lord leads you, you can redeem your neighborhood, you can redeem places in your city. We know people that God sends on these kind of journeys that they just go to redeem the land in various places.

49:32 Especially if there's like intersections where there seems to be... Repeated accidents all the time. That's also a place that needs redeeming. Yeah, we had a situation on our mountain going down into Jasper that time and time again. I think in about a 10 -year span, over 40 semis had run off. Wow. That's a lot. That's a lot. And there was a bus. And a bus. A bus went off and about 20 people got killed. It was really bad. And it was after that we redeemed the land. And it made a difference. Yes, it did. That made such a big difference. Yeah, I don't think there's hardly been anybody gone off since then. Yeah, especially where people haven't died. Yeah, yeah.

50:13 So it works. We have seen it. There's so many stories of redeeming the lamb. And we have the book, Redeeming the Lamb, we have it as a PDF, but it's best to have a hard copy. Unless you're from someplace where you can't get one. Unless you're from where you can't get one, but otherwise it's... If you can just get the book in your hand, that's great. But if you can't get the PDF and just study it, you can see how everything in it is all scriptural and how it just really works. Yes. So, Father, we ask in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you will encourage our listeners to take advantage of these tools that we've been pouring out in these episodes.

50:53 Father, we ask you to give them a grace and an anointing. to use these tools that will give them these strategies for defeating their enemy, Lord. Make them victorious by the mighty power of your precious blood. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen.
