I have seen demons in teenagers. I've seen demons in little children.

I've seen demons in elderly people.

I've seen demons in pastors, in prophetesses, prophets. I have found and captured demons in different people.

But how is it that you can be a believer and don't know that a demon is with you? It's because you are ignorant of the devil's devices and those things that reveal that there is a demon that has entered you or that is in your life. The problem with Christians is everything is about sin.

And I agree, sin plays a part, but not a big part the way you think.

Because I'll give you an example.

Solomon had 900 wives and concubines.

Some of them were not even believers in his God. Why didn't he ever get possessed?

How many women did Samson lay with and he was never possessed? Now, I'm not telling you to go and do that because you you you'll be cooked 100%.

What was this? What was protecting them?

The house of Judah full of incest and weird stuff, but the bloodline is not corrupted. And Jesus comes from the lineage of what? Judah.

Yes, papa. You delivered my daughter and my husband. Glory be to the Lord.

Amen.

Somebody says, "Why doesn't God punish wickedness?" Because that means he will punish us also.

So he gives everything time to be redeemed.

And that's really us.

No, no, no, no. Hear me.

A demon can be in you or can be in your atmosphere which counts as being in you.

Some financial struggles are not normal. They're demonic. But you think a demon to be in you means that they directly into your body. Some of them can operate within your spiritual atmosphere and that counts as being in you.

And [snorts] the issue with the spirit is this or spiritual things is this. What you do not recognize you cannot fix.

You will never cast out a spirit that you cannot des discern.

That's why there are people who can do confessions from here to January to December to and nothing is changing in their life because you are saying things without having the ability to discern those things.

Let's go to the Bible. Let me start revealing some things to you.

Is that okay? Oh, my phone died.

Uh, it's okay. Give me a charger. I still know what I want to talk about. I don't need to look at the scriptures I wrote, but the charger will be good. Yeah. The first one is this.

The Bible describes a woman who goes into a temple. Can you find that scripture for me? That had an infirmity for 18 years.

For 18 years, this woman had an infirmity for 18 years.

Not one year, two year to her.

That infirmity was just how life is.

Are you sure you guys can hear me?

We hear you.

Did you find it?

Okay.

1310.

Sorry.

Luke 13.

Uh-huh.

Where's the charger, guys?

Uh-huh.

Luke 13:10.

Uh-huh. And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity 18 years,

and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loose from thine infirmity.

Uhhuh.

And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Now, stop right there. This woman went to church every day.

She just thought that maybe it's age, maybe it's this for 18 years.

But Jesus sees is seeing a demon of infirmity that is causing the woman to be the way she is. So Jesus stops preaching and goes to her and says,"Woman, I loose you from your infirmity." Touches her, the spirit leaves her. Immediately she stands up straight.

That should make you think for a second. It means being in church is not a defense from demons.

That's true.

You can be in church with your demons praising God

and the demons will not be bothered.

Y'all don't want the truth. I'm telling you the truth.

Teach the woman came to Jesus's preaching. She's also come down to listen to Jesus. What if the Lord Jesus did not confront the spirit? The spirit would have been comfortable in churches

like it had always been for 18 years.

It is the Lord's ability because he is God. He could see that this wasn't just crippling that I can just heal her. This is caused by a spirit. Do you know how many people are coming to church? They think ah I just have blood pressure problems. It's just in my family yet it's a demon.

I just have this migraine that comes and goes. But you know in my family we we have like migraines. you you are thinking it's just a migraine but it's an infirmity but because you don't know the devil's devices

you come in church and praise God sing hallelujah and the demon is relaxed he's so comfortable

let me show you how this micro demons can hide

in the presence of Jesus Demons manifest. They start confessing. They start shouting.

But this woman walks in church. Demons are not shouting.

You are not listening to what I'm telling you.

The presence of the Lord Jesus is supposed to make demons show up.

But Jesus is preaching. This woman walks in. She's not falling. She's not shaking. She in fact is ready to sit down. It is Jesus that stops and goes to her and says,"Woman, I lose you from your infirmity." She wasn't asking to be loosed.

Jesus touches at the spirit leaves. She stands up straight.

Amen.

It means there are demons that the presence of God will confront.

That's good.

But there are demons that can only be seen by discernment.

applause

They are demons that can only be captured by what? Discernment.

[clears throat]

Because their operation is hidden.

Their operation isn't as open.

Their operation is hidden.

It's not open. It's not public. It is hidden.

Jesus gets to the shore of a city. Somebody with legion, they come and they they confess, "Hey, we are legion." This and this and this and this. Jesus after he preaches, he lifts his voice and chaos.

The young boy with evil spirits that were throwing him into water and whatever he was convulsing. Jesus sees the boy. He declares the boy free and it's over. But this one, the demon is quiet.

And the crazy part is this. When Jesus touches the woman, you don't hear the woman convulsing. You don't hear the woman shaking. She just stands up straight and she starts praising God. But she was already praising God, but the demon was there.

Somebody type again. Lord expose every demon.

Lord expose every demon.

I can't hear you.

Lord expose every demon.

I can't hear you.

Lord expose every demon.

John chapter 13. Let me show you the first place they hide. Verse one and two. Let me show you the first place demons hide. Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come, that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.

And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas's Scariot, Simon.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The devil having what?

Put into the heart

Uh-huh.

of Judas's Scariot, Simon's son, to betray him.

Uh-huh. Jesus knowing that the father had given all things into his hands and that it was come from God.

So stop right here.

Before Jesus said, "What you must do, do quickly." The devil was already in Judas.

Judas served with the Lord Jesus, but he already had a demon in him.

He was already exposed to evil spirits. How? Judas used to steal money all the time. So the greed to sell J Jesus just increased.

But the love of money mmon was already controlling him.

Now Jesus knowing that Judas has this issue. This is to show you how God loves

loves us. He made Judas the treasurer.

At least if you steal, don't steal out there. Steal from me.

At least here I can redeem you.

Stealing is bad,

but at least steal from mine,

not from out there.

Somebody just type, "Thank you, Jesus."

Thank you, Jesus.

For your great love.

Now, now the Bible is saying the devil had already put in his heart

to betray Jesus before they were even at the last supper. So, and Jesus is saying, "What you must do, do quickly." And the devil entered him. All the devil did was took animation of his body.

But the devil had already put something in Judas.

Wow.

Let me show you how demons hide.

Let's go. A demon plants something in your mind and as long as you entertain that thing in your mind, he has access to you anytime he wants. He knows if you're going to church, [snorts] I am going to wait outside the church.

But I have something of mine in you that I can still have access to you.

So even if the power of God comes down,

the demon is not confused. He's not confused. is not consumed because the demon is hiding.

But he still has something in you that controls your soul

that is waiting for the opportunity that when he needs to control you, he can do it himself or he can control you by having that thing in you continue to work as you entertain it. But when you have the power of the spirit that you can confront that spirit the moment you see that substance within somebody you say you I can see you because what they planted in the person is the connection to the demon. So if you catch that thing you catch the demon

and when you catch the demon the demon is compelled to manifest the same way they would manifest it. Somebody say, "Lord, expose every demon."

Lord, expose every demon.

I can't hear you.
