and I want you to listen to me and let
me tell you where we're headed you see
you can turn your living room into the
bar room in other words what it says
eating and drinking with the drunken it
means that you're eating the same food
drinking the same food that's
intoxicated the world they are
intoxicated now with sports and
entertainment aqui en but lead the
intoxication you go to Dallas Texas when
the Cowboys are playing on Sunday
morning if the service isn't over 12
if the Cowboys are playing at 12 o'clock
they dismiss at 11:30 and there's a
screen in the basement for everybody go
down and watch the kickoff God can wait
for the Cowboys there's an intoxication
with sports in the United States that is
absolutely demonic we sell brother Dave
come on sports that's innocent it can
become so addictive that you can eat and
drink with those who are drunken with
entertainment and you can bring those
videos into your house and get so
involved in eating and drinking and
folks I will tell you this begins to
satiate the mind it begins to affect
your thinking you know there's some
Christian men if the church has three or
four services on Sunday they get to the
earlier service they hope it was six
o'clock in the morning so they can go
for the little our religion and then
they go all day long for football games
basketball and sit there suck in potato
chips and not one thought for spending
an hour along with Jesus in the world I
know men for Christians who can't
memorize two verses but they contain him
every basketball player every football
player the height their weight and their
statistics now folks I'm not not trying
to be facetious I'm tell you that's a
shame and that's what's happening in the
body of Jesus Christ today sports it can
kill you
it can rob you of your spiritual life
you eat and drink with the drunken do I
hear a whole lot of wise said Amen cause
they give it let me talk to you just to
what are you eating and drinking are you
eating and drinking with the drunken
there's nothing filthier than soap
operas nudity filth adultery fornication
and I'm going to look you right in the
eye and tell you that if you're sitting
there when Jesus comes
and you're watching that film how do you
expect to come out of that cesspool
suddenly into the arms of Jesus how do
you sit there and watch those talk shows
that are nothing but slop from the very
pits
absolute filth and you're gonna feed on
that you're gonna drink that drink
you're going to eat that food with the
drunk and get intoxicated with this and
you come to the house of God and you're
still think what's going to happen to
Mary because she's in her third husband
and you're gonna sit here all these
things going through your mind you go
praise the Lord in light of what I'm
talking to you about right here I want
to get dead serious with this church
we're talking about walking and holiness
and discouraged
we're talking about set an example for
the Lost we're talking about being free
to worship the Lord with clean hands and
if your heart and you hear us talk about
this idolatry and yet I get the feeling
that some of you are not hearing a word
I say or any other pastor this mess of
it
that you're not hearing it all but I'm
going to ask you a question I want to
sit in very great love right now who
told you who told you it's okay to sit
for hours drinking and filth in front of
television booth told you it's not
idolatry to sit and watch something
that's totally corrupted out of the pits
of hell who told you that's not corrupt
who told you it's not an idol with the
Jesus who told you that
where did the Holy Ghost said you're
mature brother days just got a hang up
right now he'll get over it no folks I
hear the holy Thunder in my soul I hear
it God said you don't sit the seat of
the scornful I hear a scripture that
says I'll set the evil thing before my
eyes I hear the words you said bring no
abomination into your house I hear it by
the hundreds of scriptures and I don't
understand why our people in this first
are not hearing it you say you are
believer just say you want to go all the
way with Jesus who told you it's okay
just only go tell you you can sit down
what Gallus and dynasty if the Holy
Ghost say that you're mature you can sit
down what wireless you can bring those
automated movies and videos into your
house and come into this house and place
but who told you that
you know the question in love as a
bastard who weeps over this congregation
who's talking till you narrow it's just
a devil going to tell you to tear it
away and get me for my daughter three is
that the enemy is the devil saying get
away from a nucleus
is that the devil that breaks my heart
over this kind of iniquity in the search
is it for again if it's God you've got a
dilemma you have to make a choice you
cannot save brother Wilkerson is
legalistic you cannot say I'm sick and
tired of hearing this you have to make
your choice and I'll tell you why the
choice has to be made because it's
getting worse and if you can't handle it
now and this gets ahold of you the lust
when the filter comes out of that tomb
if it gets ahold of your heart and in
London it has now no angel nobody is
going to break the trumpet in Revelation
the twelfth chapter there's a war going
on
the Bible says war is declared the
devil's declared war is an angry devil
coming down the scripture says in this
chapter he has great laughs he's going
to send out a flood when the dragon saw
he was cast to the earth he persecuted
the woman which brought forth the
manchild the manchild is the Church of
Jesus Christ the Bible makes it very
clear that the devil and the last day
the war that he declares is on the
church that they may be carried away the
scripture says he's going to send this
flood of filth must temptation he's
going to come against the physical body
he's going to come against the mind he's
going to come against everything to
carry them away the Bible's that they
may be carried away with the flood we
see many being carried away today he has
bought he is take literally taken over
television was fill closer to that
does it matter about the Jerusalem
that's in our own hearts the sign of
ruin that slowly draining spiritual
power and passion flying to lukewarmness
blind to the mixture that's creeping in
you see when spiritual blindness comes
Murph you recognize it it's the last
recognised thing that happens to the
child of God if I as a pastor knew you
personally and I was watching your life
and it's one of the fastest Church I
come to you and say I I love you but I
have to tell you the truth
you're changing
you know what you were something in the
world has got in your heart I don't know
if it's television I don't know what it
is it has your heart but I see changes
in you I I don't see the brokenness I
don't see that compassion you had once
for your family I don't see concern for
your unsaved loved ones you're changing
little by little something's happening
to you would it bring you to your knees
when the ruin that you are not even
aware of is suddenly brought before your
eyes but the truth of the matter is in
all honesty that my numbers among us
that are changing and they don't know it
you've lost your fight
you see when you're when you read the
book of Joshua is almost a book of
failure because they lost their heart
they lost the fight that's all the devil
wasn't to do is get the fight out of you
and kill it so you won't labor in prayer
anymore
you won't weep before God anymore you
can sit watch television your family go
to hell let me ask you it is what I just
said
convicted you at all did you just let
that go in one in or out the other when
a pastor tells you right now hey and I
don't know who you are but the Holy
Ghost is speaking through me you're
changing little by little you're losing
the love of God the love of Christ
little by little these things are making
inroads folks why do you think your
pastors cry out against television you
think we get any pleasure out of the
flesh
this is no pleasure in somebody coming
say I heard your mess and I threw away
made television that doesn't give me any
pleasure then give any pastor pleasure
we have given a Kemp because we watch
for your soul these things I don't know
where it is on the job things we listen
these things that creep in and suddenly
this Jerusalem the walls go down ruin
sets in
doesn't really matter to you that your
unsaved loved ones you're dying and
we're getting closer and closer to the
end they think that doesn't really
concern you they could die go to hell
even though your love of Christ
a statement in Isaiah basically saying
the world is falling apart staring back
at Israel saying judgment is turned away
backward and justice stands afar off for
truth is fallen in the street and equity
cannot enter once a God to do
and he saw that there was no man and he
wondered that there was no intercessor
an intercessor basically means one who
fills the gap
if you have a Wang City and there is a
hole in the wall see this little part
that is like broken down it's like a
pile of rubble one actually you can
sneak through it you know there's a
vulnerability in a time of war if you
have an enemy
what's an enemy looking through the gate
to try and scale the gate they're
looking for breaches or holes in the
wall they're not stupid they're not
gonna waste their time going through the
front door when they go through a side
little broken down breach so the enemy
by his very nature is constantly
watching the integrity of the wall he's
looking for holes we have massive holes
in our life that give the enemy access
to do with our life what he sees fit to
do we say that's horrible I'm a
Christian yeah you're a Christian with
breeches you are not supposed to be a
Christian with breeches one of the key
definitions of Christianity could be a
man or a woman
these walls are repaired who has made
strong wine so that they are useful to
God they're not just constantly inwardly
fighting demons they can be outward
focused God says to Israel will bless
you so that you can become a blessing to
the nations God's pattern is to make you
strong so that you're useful there is a
hedge that is supposed to be build up
around your life and it very likely
isn't you need a strong man you need
someone who can step in and fight off
that enemy to make you strong so that
you can start focusing outward instead
of on your own issues most of us is
Christians the church is so weak because
we have literally less than 1% of our
time that is able to focus outward
because we are so caught up in our
issues and our difficulties even the
healthiest among us we have issues we
have difficulties whether it's
relational whether it's financial
whether it's health we have issues and
there's a dying world out there you
little
mated 150,000 people died and went to
hell today let's think about this what
did we all do about it did we take a
step forward and beginning to do
something about it
are we just ending the time for our life
falling apart even more than it is we
are living on the defensive instead of
the offensive
what we need is the same thing God was
looking for back then
the walls are broken down the city is in
disrepair Israel's is without a defender
where's the intercessor you know who
Jesus Christ was in a nutshell
he's the inner sense he's the man who
stands in the gap he's the strong man
who came and took a full blow upon
himself so that we could gather our wits
spiritually and awaken and say
thank you sir estuary
literally heat hook the blown everything
that was aimed right at you to
absolutely decimate your life he took it
square on
without even a whimper he took it for
the joy that was set before because he
found you so much he took the ball see
one of the things that happens with the
life of Jesus we have a tendency to make
him a mousy character we have a tendency
to diminish his manly strength we are
talking about the greatest warrior of
all time in the Old Testament the term
is Lord of Hosts the captain of captains
the general of generals and he's a
general that led his trucks in the
battle with his own wife he's the one
that did it all the rest of the army was
powering in the background they couldn't
fight this army and he stood up
single-handedly and defeated them that
is our intercessor that is our key
in the same way that he stood for you
then I want you to know he still stands
for you now when you behold the cross
and you behold the resurrected Christ
when you behold the Ascended Christ who
sits the right hand of the Father you no
longer will just remain where you want
you will say God do it all within me for
your glory
make me strong make me strong to give
God is looking for an intercessor
someone who will make up this breach we
need to become a body that is thinking
about every single one around us as
opposed to ourselves coming to church
going I need to be praying for the truth
what about who can I pray for this week
just a different mindset that's not what
this church can do for you but what you
can do for Jesus Christ and this church
think of that attitude shift thank God
you made this life and you've called me
for more than just to save me you have
rescued me so that I can become a
rescuer
who needs rescue who needs help who
needs me to stand in the gap and take
the hit
that's the attitude it's not your skin
and how you can save it it's how you can
spend it for his glory
