SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Cecil duCille
(Message given at the July 2003 LW/OM Illinois Convention)
We apologize for being so late this morning, trying to pack and
everything. We have still not had perfect control over our physical energy, so
when you pray for us pray for our energy. I am one of those people who do
not believe in old age. I do not believe that because I am 80 years of age, my
blood shouldn’t flow through my veins like Peter’s. You know what I mean. I
cannot see through it. I believe like Caleb, who said, “I am this day 85 years
of age and my natural force is not abated, and I am ready to go and to take
the land that God has given me.”1 I do not believe in feebleness. Praise
God! I believe then that God keeps us according to our belief and according
to our faith, and I do believe that I will die healthy, when I do die. Thank You,
Jesus! Hallelujah!
Another point I want to touch you with is that I discovered a secret, that
when you come into the house of God, or at home, or in the car, or daily
walking around doing your business, if you keep the valve open for God to
flow in, that the flowing of the Spirit heals the natural body. I was in Jamaica.
I had a pain in my arm. I could not lift my hand above my head, and the
brother began to preach and he said, “I want you all to lift up your hands.”
And he said, “If your hand is even paining you, lift it!” And I lifted my hands! I
believe that the energy that went into my arm, that it came from the living
Word that he gave, that I accepted. And it is so simple, and yet so profound
that we do not… I do not know if we do not believe it or whatever, but we do
not pay much attention to it, that the flowing of the energy of God in this
place, that it not only heals the soul, but it heals the body! Amen. Because
healing cannot come to the body unless it comes through the soul.
Praise God! We would like to take you into a spiritual realm a little above
the normal. You must have heard that I have a name to be a sorcerer, right?
Well, the reason is that from when I was a child I have had spiritual
confrontations. As a child I discovered that you do not have to be in God to
command the spirits to get away from you. I am saying this and I do not
know why, but I know for one thing that God gave man a mandate. God gave
us a mandate and that mandate was that Adam should rule everything that
moves in this realm. We lost it to Satan, but any day you get up and lay hold
of it, it is yours! Amen. I want you to understand that.
I am going to tell you a story, but let us turn to the Bible, first of all. Let us
go to Ephesians 6. I just want you to be with me. You know, some people do
1 Ref. Joshua 14:10-11

not have much tolerance for spiritual things. They cannot concentrate very
much upon spiritual things, so whenever you find yourself slipping away, just
say, “Hallelujah!” and we will pray with you. So if anybody feels yourself
slipping away to think of other things, you just cry out, “Hallelujah!” and
everybody will pray for you.
We come to Chapter 6 of Ephesians, and when we think of the apostle
Paul, he must have been way, way, way ahead of the church and of the other
apostles, and of anybody you know. Paul himself received these things from
the Lord, but he could not have personally experienced everything he wrote
about. If you watch his life as a Pharisee, and then when he came into
God… he spent 14 years in the desert just fasting and praying and receiving
from God. So these things he received from God, I doubt that he understood
everything that he was saying, and he could not understand as we
understand now. Do you know why? Because the revelation of Jesus Christ
is progressive, and He progressed from the foundation of the apostles and
prophets. He gave them the foundation and He progressed unto us; and
today we have an authority that Paul did not have. I wonder if I can explain it
to you? The authority that we have now is to kill the devil. We have the
power now, because it is the end of time and God said that at the end of time
He would bring forth a people who would be overcomers. Now, that word
“overcomers,” you had better watch it well, because sometimes it doesn’t
mean what we think it means. In other words, it is almost “limitless.” Amen?
We overcome one thing, and immediately we are faced with another. And
the moment you overcome that, you qualify to overcome something else.
So some people get tired. Every day—battle, battle, battle! I love the
battle! I love the battle, because it gives you an incentive. I do not know if it
is because I used to love to fight so much as a young person. It is crazy, you
know. I was a person who used to really love fighting, so that if you fight and
you do not get hit, you would not be too much interested in that fighter. You
wanted to fight somebody who would hit you hard. (Some say that it is
masochism.) (Laughter) Anyhow, praise be to God!
We are supposed to be overcomers, and first of all, the first overcoming
is in here, inside ourselves. If you do not overcome the man in you, you are
not going to be an overcomer of anything else. I do not know if you
understand. Last night we talked about the sexual urge and the things, the
burdens, that God put upon us as natural men. It said that Elijah was a man,
a natural man, as we are. Paul said, “I am natural, like any one of you. I
could lead around a wife.”2 He had to tell them that, for some of the people
were looking up to him as if he was not natural. But the natural man, you
have to overcome the natural man!
2 Ref. 1 Corinthians 9:5

[Sunnysnet]

THE OMEGA MESSAGE SPIRITUAL WARFARE
39
How do you learn to overcome the natural man? I can only tell you how
God taught me. As a young fellow, I received the Lord. When I say “young,”
I mean in my 20’s. The Lord taught me to fast and pray. He taught me to
have food to eat, and not eat. To be hungry! To love what I am looking at
and smelling, and yet not eat. I think the worst thing for a hungry man is a
smell. Oh, it just kills you! Amen! The hunger you have when you are
hungry and you smell fresh food (especially things that you like)—it is like a
kind of madness that takes you! God wants you to be able to have food and
not eat it. Yes!
Some of the brothers feel that, “Boy, I need a wife! I need a wife so
badly. Oh, you know, I need a wife!” Let me tell you something. The person
who hasn’t got a wife has less problem of temptation than those who have a
wife, for you have to lie down every night with a wife in the bed and you have
to be spiritual. You have to control yourselves, and you have to put your
desires and your wants away. So, therefore, you have to learn first by
FASTING: To have food and not eat it—HUNGRY! To have water and not
drink it—THIRSTY! Yes! I have gone through such thirst that my throat
began to split and bleed. My lips bleed because I am thirsty, and there is
water and I will not drink it because I am fasting a fast of THIRST!
Now, I am not telling you to do it. I am not telling you to do it. Your God
must tell you what to do. As Doug shared with us here this morning, he said,
“This is not my body. This is not my property.” His body is the temple of the
living God. So if God tells you, “Do not drink water,” then you do not drink
water. You see, when Jesus was in the wilderness for forty days, nobody can
convince me that He carried a bottle of water with Him. Amen.
That was thirst; and thirst can become a kind of madness. When you are
thirsty, you have hallucinations; but then that is where I was trained. Amen! I
was trained at the point where we did not have breakfast, or lunch, or dinner,
but we had to go to take the Word of God and we had to preach. Amen! And
the children were hungry and they learned not to even say, “I am hungry.”
They just played until they fell asleep. We learned how to control the body.
When we came into Miami with $12 in our pocket, ready to do a
missionary journey, we did not know anybody, any organization, or anything
in America. Nothing! If we had gone to the Salvation Army, that would be a
defeat of the faith that we had in God. So we stood and waited until God sent
a raven.3 Oh, yes! But, you know, “Get away from me, you dirty raven! I do
not want your bread!” Do you think that is what Elijah would have said?
Well, a drunken woman came and fell on the shoulder of my wife (with all the
liquor coming out of her breath) and hugged her and said, “Let’s go to Fort
Lauderdale.” From a drunken woman, we heard the voice of God. “Get away
from me, you drunkard!” No! But we heard the voice of God speaking
3 1 Kings 17:1-6

[Sunnysnet]

THE OMEGA MESSAGE SPIRITUAL WARFARE

through a drunken woman, and there our missionary journey started. We did
not need a cent. Oh, praise God!
Ephesians 6, and Verse 12,
“FOR WE WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
It is a deception when you believe that that man is against you. Look
well, and you will see who is really against you. It is a spirit that is motivating
the man, and the man is maybe one percent of what you are seeing. You
see, most of the people that you see around you, I call them “artificial
people.” You see a man coming along, strutting, swaggering—you do not
really know what is in his mind. Maybe he is putting on that to deceive you,
to make you see a bold, brave man when there is but a little whimpering kid
inside. You see?
So we wrestle not against “FLESH AND BLOOD.” Take your eyes off
the things that you can see. The Bible says Jesus did not go by the seeing of
the eyes or by the hearing of His ears.4 He was looking at the real thing.
Those of you here who believe that somebody is against you, it is the first
error that you are making towards that person. You should go to that person
and do everything possible to win the person. Humble yourself to win the
person, because you know that though that person might kill you, but he is
not against you. Your real enemy is the spirit that has the person in bondage,
and he is his enemy and he is your enemy. We do not have human enemies!
I mean, that sounds very peculiar compared to what is happening around
now. You know, men are going around trying to kill, and these are men who
are just murderers. They are not our enemies. The spirits that drive them
are our enemies. And guess why God let them loose on you? Why would
God let loose a spirit on you? It is because He has given you the power to
CONTROL them!
Oh, yes! I was walking in Miami one day, and I walked into a wrong area,
and somebody didn’t like it. He brought out his dog, a Doberman Pinscher.
He commanded the dog to attack me. The dog came bounding towards me.
I looked at him and said, “I REBUKE you in the name of Jesus!” The dog
pulled back, and that man was so shocked! He opened his eyes wide and
looked. It was not the dog that was hit but it was the spirit that they had put in
the dog to attack you!
So you must realize that we are living in a spiritual realm! Our realm here
is the lowest. The one we are on, it is the lowest frequency. There is another
frequency up here a little higher, where some other spirits are. Above them
there are other spirits higher, and there are other spirits even higher above
them! Amen!
4 Ref. Isaiah 11:3

[Sunnysnet]

THE OMEGA MESSAGE SPIRITUAL WARFARE

So if you walk with the Lord, you will overcome in the area that God has
given you. If you get out of your area you are in trouble, for you are going to
meet spirits that are stronger. Now, I am jumping the gun here, but let us go
on.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities…”
All right. “…but against principalities…” Principalities. Now, what is a
prince? Can you conjure up in your mind what a prince is? Yes, it is one
who is supposed to inherit a kingdom or a throne. All right. Now, when God
said here that there are principalities, it means that these spirits that fell (or
deliberately threw themselves down from heaven5), that they were promised
a kingdom. Did you hear me? They were promised by Satan a kingdom, but
the problem with that promise is that it is the same kingdom that is promised
to Jesus Christ. So Jesus says to us, “YOU are My kingdom,” and He says,
“I will make you a kingdom of priests.”6 Now, what happened? Satan went
out and he took it. He took it, because you remember now, you and I were
out there in the kingdom of the enemy and we were all filled with devils. So
Satan thought that he had won. But you see, time is only a little speck in the
long thing that we call eternity. That is eternity here at the beginning, and
then a time comes and it is an interruption in eternity; and then the eternity
continues. So all Satan has is a little window of time in which to rule in a
kingdom. So these princes feel that you belong to them. Yes! It was in
Freeport that the devil came personally to Burt and told him, “These people
are not yours. They are mine!” That same thing happened to us up in a
place called Mona, wherein the devil came into the meeting and said, “I have
my people here, also.” And when he said that, a little girl, 12 years of age,
jumped up and said, “SATAN, TAKE YOUR PEOPLE AND GO!” It was the
absolute Word of God! When she said that, three women jumped up and
they sailed through the door, never to return.
You see, I want you to understand that Satan is going around claiming
you as his kingdom, and so he has offered you to certain spirits that he calls
“Princes.” So these spirits expect to inherit you, to have you. You know, it is
like how you have a herd of cows, and you breed them and you feed them,
and you kill them and you eat them, and you drink their milk and you keep
them multiplying. That is the way Satan is looking at the people of the world.
He sees them as his kingdom. So he offered it to his princes, and these
princes are generally angels who have fallen from the second realm of
heaven.
I do not know if you understand what I am talking about now. Here we
are, there is the heaven of heavens, where God (Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost) is. Then there is another realm under it where you have the angels
5 Ref. Jude 1:6
6 Refs. Exodus 19:6, Revelation 1:6

[Sunnysnet]

THE OMEGA MESSAGE SPIRITUAL WARFARE
42
Michael, Gabriel, and Heylel. These are their names as given in the Bible,
and you notice they all end in “el.” The “el” part of their names, in the Hebrew
language, is “God.” You see? So the name Gabriel means “Messenger of
God,” and Michael means “Like God.” They are the high spirits. (Note: Heylel
is the name in the Hebrew of the angel spoken of in Isaiah 14:12 who fell and
became Satan. The KJV translators called him by the name Lucifer, which is
the name of the Morning Star god that was worshipped by the Saturnalians.)
God never gives us any other names of angels in the Bible and any other
names of angels that you have heard of, they are devil angels.
Now, these spirits have magnificent powers. I believe that it is from the
third realm that they have gotten some of these princes, but these angels
(Michael, Gabriel) are stronger, higher, and more powerful than the ordinary
angels, and when the ordinary angels cannot get certain things done, they
appeal to this higher realm. Do you remember the time (in Daniel 10) when
Gabriel went with the message and he could not get through because he was
facing another angel of the same magnitude as himself? He could not pass
through with the message to the people of God because the people of God
were serving the devil. Gabriel called back to heaven, and God sent Michael,
and when Michael came, Michael showed the blood (forgiveness of sins).
Forgiveness of sins! He said, “These people that you say are yours, WE
COVER THEM WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS!” The devil had to back off
and the message went through to Daniel. Now, I want you therefore to
understand where we are and what I am trying to show you today. It is
something very profound that God has given me to give you. I hope you
have the energy to accept it.
So if you look at your Bibles you will see the word “principality.”7 This
word, it is two words that they put together: “princi,” which means “prince,”
and “pality,” which means “kingdom.” So, the people who fight with a prince
are his “pality” and the spirits that go along with him are his “pality.” So when
a prince comes to you, he comes and behind him he has strength. He has
his whole “pality” behind him! A rulership!
So then these princes are going to come against you, the church. And in
this hour many princes are fighting against us. You can look at some
churches and you see that they are taken over completely by a prince that
rules them. Certain things rule in their midst. Amen! And you look at
another church and you see another prince ruling. Amen! Some churches
are ruled by a “carnal”8 spirit, and the carnal spirit just takes everybody.
Once you become a member of that church, you come under the influence.
Why? It is because when a person ministers to you, he ministers to you
himself. He ministers to you what is of himself. The Spirit of God coming

through him is like water pouring through a pipe that has some dye in it, and
the water comes out colored with the dye. This is one of the reasons you
should not give your children to the world to teach them, because every time
your children go to a carnal teacher, the child receives not only mathematics,
but also carnality. Whatever belongs to the person, whatever is wrong with
the person, the child receives it. I have known homosexual teachers that
have taught children, and the children come out to be homosexuals without
the teacher telling them to be homosexuals—because it is a spirit! We are
ministering on a different plane from the natural. Jesus said,
“…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are LIFE”
(John 6:63).
Some words that people speak, they are spirit and they are DEATH! I do
not know if someone has ever spoken a word to you that strikes you so hard
that it brings sadness, pain, or anger to you. Now you have to be able to
resist that! Somebody should be able to tell you the worst thing in the world
and it does not hit inside because you have a guard up in the spirit. Amen! If
you knew why the person was coming against you, then you would say, “Oh,
I know what it is! It is a spirit! I can see the spirit.” Look in his eyes while he
is speaking, and you will see the spirit. Yes! Sometimes he tries to disguise
it and cover up, but you look and you will see the spirit coming through him,
at you!
That spirit wants to hurt you. Right? And you get hurt, and you say, “Oh
boy, I will NEVER do that again! I will have nothing more to do with this
fellow!” Guess what? That is what the spirit ministered to you! Amen! You
are doing just what that spirit wants you to do.
Somebody comes and says, “Well, you are a dog!” You know that you
are not a dog, therefore you should turn it back and say, “God, have mercy
upon him. He called me a dog. That means he is speaking from another
spirit.” Right? Yes!
Once I was in a service and a sister got up, and said, “Stand, Brother
duCille!” I stood up there, and she said, “This man is living in adultery!” And I
said, “Praise God! I am clean!” Amen! The idea is, I did not have it against
the sister. I love her dearly. But another spirit had taken hold of her and God
allowed her to come against me because God knew I could help her. And the
moment I rebuked the spirit, she got a deliverance. But I did not get up and
say, “Oh, you are a liar, you so and so!” That is stupid! That is exactly what
the spirit wants you to do! The sister is not the liar. She is just weak and has
been taken over by another spirit; and all you have to do is to quietly come
against the spirit and save the person out of this principality.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers…”

[Sunnysnet]

THE OMEGA MESSAGE SPIRITUAL WARFARE
44
Now, we are against these princes and their palities, and these “powers.”
Now this word “powers” here is “exousias” in the Greek, and it means
“authorities.” That means that there are some spirits that get an authority to
do so and so to you, and to do so and so to you. I do not know if any of you
have had a spirit sent to you, sent directly against you, to do something to
you. Amen. And when that spirit come s to you and you discern the spirit and
reject it and turn back the spirit, it turns back to the one who sent him and
does to him the same thing he was sent to do to you. Amen. We are talking
about a spirit that comes at you directly directed. It says here “powers”
(exousias; spirits with authority). Do you know that spirits are like dogs that
will follow the scent of a person? Oh, yes. They will take your clothes and
take it to a spirit. Just like the police who will take somebody’s clothes and
take it to the dog and let him smell it, and the dog begins to follow that scent
and follows it until he finds the person. (I am telling you tales out of school.
Right?) But, therefore, ninety-five percent of the things that people do, it is
spirit motivated. It is probably more like ninety-nine percent, but I will give
you the benefit of the doubt. It is not the people!
Very often, the people, if they were left alone they would be pretty nice
and they would love you. But there are spirits that are forcing people to do
things! Amen! You marry a wife, and you know that when you married her
she was such a sweet person. She made a covenant with you. You made a
covenant with her. Your heart is with her. Her heart is with you. And one
day she gets up and she slashes you with a word. It is not her! Immediately
you should rise up in wisdom and begin to work against that spirit that has
dared to come into your house and touch your wife. Amen! You see, it is
because you are blind that you are believing that “This woman that I married,
that God gave to me—she is coming against me!” It is because you are
BLIND! If you were in the Spirit, if you were awake and ALIVE, you would
realize that something has come upon her! Yes! Something has come upon
her and she could not overcome it. Something stronger than her! And
IMMEDIATELY you would say, “How dare you, Satan, to come in here and
take charge of my wife! How dare you come in here and cause her to say so
and so, or to do so and so! This woman is of the Lord! This woman has
been given to me of God! This woman is an anointed son of God! I WILL
NOT ACCEPT IT!” Amen! Hallelujah! “DO NOT ACCEPT IT!” Go against
the devil! Enter into warfare for your household, because the Bible says that
if a strong man keeps his house, it takes a stronger man to come into his
house and to break up his house.9
Many years ago there was a meeting of witches and wizards, and
whatever they are. They came to a conclusion that they must begin to come
against the households of all the ministers. And I have seen the deterioration
in the household of ministers from that day until this; and the ministry does
9 Ref. Luke 11:21-22

[Sunnysnet]

THE OMEGA MESSAGE SPIRITUAL WARFARE

not understand. Many of them divorce and remarry, and divorce, and they
have not realized that it has been a devil that is coming against their
households. We are talking about the “exousias,” the spiritual “authorities.”
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers (“exousias”), against the rulers of the darkness of this
world…”
The Greek word that Paul used here that means “the rulers of this
world,” is “cosmokratoras.” “kosmos” is “world,” and “krateo” is “to rule.”
“World rulers.” It says,
“…against the rulers of the darkness of this world…”
Now, we have some rulers of “darkness.” I do not know if you have met
any of them. I have met some of them, and this particular man (this sorcerer)
that I was telling you about, who just spoke the word and turned the car over;
this man was very powerful. When people had their problems with other
people, they would go to him and they would pay him to kill them or to do
whatever is to be done. He was very boastful, and you would come to him
and he would say, “You know, (so and so) did so and so to you. Do you want
me to kill him?” There was a case where we had a little church up there and
there was a man there who had his pimento. Now, pimento is a spice, a very
strong spice. It is the thing that you call “allspice.” It is little grains like black
pepper, and it is very valuable. A sack of pimento would value quite a lot of
money because it is a rare spice. So he had his pimento, and it was dried
and ready for market; and then it disappeared. So he ran down to this man to
tell him, and the man said, “Do not tell me anything.” He said, “Be quiet.” He
said, “Your name is (so and so). You are here because you lost your bag of
pimento. You want to know who took it. It is your son who took it.” He said,
“Do you want me to hurt him?” The man said, “No, do not hurt him! Just let
me get it back.” He said, “Well, he has already used up part of it, but you can
get what is left; about two thirds of it is still left.” He said, “All right.” The man
pushed his hand in his pocket and said, “How much do I owe you?” He said,
“No, do not pay me.” He said, “You go home now and look at the back of
your house on the wall, and you will see your bag of pimento. Now when you
go there, you take it and take it to the shop and sell it; and when you sell it, I
want you to put £8 (8 pounds) on your table for me and I will take it.” It was in
the days that they used pounds, British pounds.
Now we are talking about “powers.” The next thing that happened, the
man came up to the church where he lived. He found his bag of pimento on
the wall. Can any of you think of how that bag of pimento got on the wall?
Can you think of it? His son stole it, yet it was there on the wall! Amen.
Spirit work! He just sent his spirit and commanded the man (the son), “Either
put it there, or you are dead!” The man put it on the wall, or it was the spirits
themselves that took it and put it on the wall. Now, I am telling you of things,

[Sunnysnet]

THE OMEGA MESSAGE SPIRITUAL WARFARE
46
that you do not understand what is going on around you! These powers are
exercising powers around you!
Now, afterwards he took the pimento, he sold it, and he told us all (we
were there) what was happening. He put the money on his table and he went
to bed, and when he got up the money was gone. If he did not put that
money there, he would be a goner. Yes!
These are the spirits that are working in our midst. Now this particular
sorcerer, the spirits that he worked with, they had never been conquered,
they had never been stopped. He did anything to anybody that he wanted.
He was so boastful that he would come to the man’s funeral and say, “Well, I
killed him, but I am sorry. I didn’t know he was such a good man,” and things
like that.
Well, one night I was in service. We were by the roadside preaching. I
mean, the house was by the roadside, and the door was wide open and I was
there preaching. A car drove up outside. Two men came out with a thing in
their hands, like a sack. When they came in, they deposited it right before
me while I was preaching. It was a sister! But she was tied up with rope from
head to toe. So I said to the men, “Loose her.” The men looked at me, and
took off. So I bent down, pulled the rope, wound it around, took it off and
threw it to the ground. I said, “In the name of Jesus, Sister, be healed!” And
the sister, just like she woke up, looked around the congregation and said,
“Thank you, Brother duCille,” and she picked up her rope and went back
home.
Many things like that happened. Five mad people, and the same kind of
thing happened to each of them. Each person had a different set of
circumstances. So one day the Lord said to me, “Go down to the stable.” I
left my office and I said, “I am taking a break.” I walked down to the stable
and I saw this man, and the man looked at me and he said, “HA! I SEE! I
SEE!” and he started walking backwards. Anytime you see a person walking
backwards, he is of the devil. If you dream that you see somebody walking
backwards, he is a servant of the devil. They run backwards, they walk
backwards. Now, I do not really know why they do that. But he started
walking backwards, walking backwards, and he was there confessing what
the Lord had done. He said, “I SEE, I SEE,” and he said, “Everything that I
put, you pull.” I realized then, that in my working for God, I was pulling
demons, driving back demons to him; and I didn’t know. I was just rebuking
the spirits that bound the people and I was setting them free.
So you have the power! Remember now,
“All POWER is given unto me (you) in heaven and on earth.”10
10 Matthew 28:18

Amen! Why are we suffering like this? Why do we have our houses
being broken up? Why are we being smashed to pieces? Amen! It is
because God is ALLOWING it! Now why would my God allow that? God has
given you a weapon, and if you do not use it, you are going to die.
I remember David moaning for Abner.11 He said, “Abner, Oh Abner is a
fool!” Amen. He said, “He died with his weapon in his sheath. He allowed
the man to take him and kiss him, and plunge his sword into him and kill him
when he had his sword in his sheath.” David would have been pleased if he
had died fighting instead. And this is the situation with the church!
Brethren! The Psalm that Brother Helgi read there for us this morning,
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty.”12
“…shall!” Amen! There is NO excuse for failure! NO excuse! The first
thing that happens to you, when something begins to happen to your life, the
devil starts telling you, “Oh, it is natural. It is natural.” IT IS NOT NATURAL!
Sister, it is not natural for your husband to be taken away from you. It is not
natural. Do not believe anything else but that God gave you that man! Do
not believe that it is God’s will for him to be away from his children. You have
to believe the truth! Hallelujah! Begin to command it! You have a blood
covenant with him! Yes! You have a blood covenant with him, and many
times we do not exercise our blood covenant because we are afraid that God
might kill him. Isn’t that true? Yes! Many times we are afraid that he might
die if God goes to arrest him, but that man is part of your blood and your body
and you must command God to release him! But you see, because he might
be held by a prince, it is necessary for you to rise up to the place where the
power of the prince is, before you can overcome him. Amen
The church could do it. Now, what do I mean by that? I mean that God
has given us power. I remember my brother, Frank. I have talked about this
several times. He was a wild, wild, fun loving fellow! Oh, he would be just
going, just going! When I would see the man, it would just grieve my soul.
Amen! Do you know what I said? I put my life on the line and I said to God,
“If that boy does not come to Jesus Christ, kill me! My life is not worth living if
Your Word is not true to me! Kill me!” Amen!
Now, you cannot fool with God. You cannot say that if you do not mean
it, and you cannot mean it unless you have the spiritual energy. Are you with
me? There is one level of energy down here, and there is another level up
here. If a prince up here holds your family, you have to get up there also, to
knock him out. YOU CANNOT STAY DOWN HERE AND WIN UP THERE!

Don’t you understand? The frequency on which he operates is up there,
and the powers that bind your person or your family are on a higher level. If
you stay down here, the spirit does not even hear you. You rebuke him, and
he does not even hear you. Amen!
I was in India, and I do not know, I provoked the angel of death. I did not
willfully do it but I just started to study about the Hindu god Kali, and I went
into a store with all these images and things. I said to the man, “I want to
know something about this spirit called Kali.” He looked at me. I said, “Yes,
do you have any literature here, or anything?” He said, “Well, this is all I
have,” and he gave me a book and I paid him for it. And man alive! The man
was a worshipper of Kali! Without knowing it, I had gone directly to this priest
of Kali and had told him that I am against Kali. When I went home, the thing
came in. It came in and attacked me. And I grappled with him and started to
speak, “IN THE NAME OF JESUS! I COMMAND YOU TO LOOSE YOUR
HOLD!” But it was ineffective. The spirit of God came to me and whispered
in my right ear, and said, “The blood.” And that is a different ball game! That
is a higher level! You cannot talk to him with just the words that might be
powerful to some spirits. YOU HAVE TO GET UP THERE WITH HIM!
Brethren, I say it every time I preach to you. Get yourself trained in
commanding the blood of Jesus Christ. If you are not trained, then when you
are in battle you will not be able to remember it. Somehow or the other, the
power of the spirit that is before you prevents you from reaching out to the
blood. That is, unless you are already in the blood, unless you are already
moving with the blood!
You know, one time as a young man, God was teaching me the Gospel.
I did not go to Bible school. I went to God school! And as He was teaching
me the Gospel, one of the things He me taught was the crucifixion. He said,
“Come with Me, and let Me show you the crucifixion.” Have you ever taken
your Bible and gone through the whole crucifixion and imagined what all
happened there? He took me through the crucifixion and every step of the
way I felt the pain, the suffering. I saw them dragging Jesus along. I saw
Him with his hands tied and a man spit right in His face. And He carried me
to the cross, and I saw the blood!
And do you know what happened, Brethren? In India, when the devil,
this prince of devils, attacked me , I began to see the blood again! Yes! My
mind went back to the blood of Jesus Christ, and when you do that you are
LIFTED! Immediately you are lifted into another realm! Yes! I said, “SMITE
HIM, Lord!” The blood smote him right in the middle of his head and he
crumbled to the floor!
OH GOD, HELP US TO UNDERSTAND! HELP US, LORD, TO
UNDERSTAND!
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against… against the
rulers of the DARKNESS of this world.”

“the DARKNESS….” Do you know what darkness is? It is opposite to
light; but the darkness cannot overcome the light.13 Light overcomes
darkness! I want you to understand that. So any time the darkness comes
upon you, TURN ON THE LIGHT! TURN ON THE LIGHT! Have you ever
had a dream where you go to turn on the light, and the light won’t come on?
You turn on the bulb, and nothing happens? God wants you to begin to
practice to turn on the light! Hallelujah!
Brother Mike, God is speaking to you. He is saying, “Turn on the light.”
Amen. In other words, this is your eastern gate, your mind. This is the gate
through which God comes. So many other things are crowding up in the
gate, preventing God from coming through. Amen! Just begin to repeat the
Word of God. Yes! “I am the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of the land
of Egypt and out of the house of bondage.” Say, “I will have no other God
beside You. You are my God. You are my savior.” “Deliver me now from
this darkness that is coming down upon my soul!” Amen! Amen!
Begin to talk aloud! Begin to read the Bible. Sometimes your mind is so
befuddled that you cannot remember words to say. Get the Bible! Read it!
Psalm 91, and Verses 5-8,
“Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that
flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the
destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten
thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine
eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.”
HALLELUJAH! WE NEED TO WALK IN THE POWER THAT WE HAVE
BEEN GIVEN!
Dirty devils come to you. They say, “You are no good. You cursed
yesterday, you have sinned since this morning. You are no good!” When he
told me that, I said to him, “Look at YOU. Look at YOU! Who are you to tell
me that I am no good? You were in heaven. You saw all the glory of God,
and you left heaven to go to HELL! WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME I AM NO
GOOD?” Hallelujah!
Jesus said,
“He that the Son sets free is free indeed!”14
He said,
“Why call ye that which I have cleansed, common and unclean?”15

15 Ref. Acts 15:10

“…And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous.”16
He said that those who walk in Jesus, those who walk under the canopy
of Jesus Christ, those who are part of the body of Christ because you obey
Christ—You have no sin! Amen!
Remember now, even if you have just killed seven men, “I HAVE NO SIN
BECAUSE JESUS HAS FORGIVEN ME! I have asked Him to forgive me,
and He said that if any man sins, he has an advocate with the Father, even
Jesus Christ the righteous.” “I ask You, Father, forgive me of my sins now!”
“Now, Mr. Devil, you have nothing against me, for my sins are forgiven and
they are under the blood of Jesus Christ.”
So we need weapon against weapon! Firepower against firepower! It is
amazing, you know. In Iraq, when Hussein heard that the American army
was coming, he moved his mighty brigades to meet them. Most of them
never saw what hit them. The American army destroyed them from twenty
miles away before they even got to them. They were being destroyed from
twenty miles away! Some of them never got a chance to fire a shot. Amen!
God is talking about “powers!” He has given us power over the power of the
enemy.
“…against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.”
“…spiritual wickedness in high places.” What does that mean? That
means that there is a wickedness that is higher than you. Amen! It is higher
than you. You have to rise up to combat that wickedness, because it is
higher than you are. God is speaking to a people that He has ordained to be
overcomers, but as I have said before, you cannot overcome unless you
overcome here (in yourself). You have to overcome in your dining room.
Some of us can not overcome there. We keep stuffing our mouths, and we
lose the battle from before we start fighting. You have the temple of the living
God and you are going to have to learn to put the temple of the living God in
order!
Stop eating so much! Oh, yes! Listen, when I am talking about eating, I
am talking about “appetite.” If you cannot control your natural appetite to eat,
you won’t control yourself sexually, or any other way. Men have to learn to
control themselves. Amen! If you have a wife, Paul said (in 1 Corinthians
7:29),
“But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that
have wives be as though they had none”
“BE AS IF YOU HAD NONE!”

I am walking along the street (I am speaking on a different level now)
looking at the people, and you see in their minds, written across their minds,
“SEX.” They are walking and they are looking at you to make sure that you
see them. The whole world is taken up by this! Why? It is because it is the
best thing that the devil has going for him. He has caught many men of God
on that score. Amen!
Do you know that after a while the Communists found out that if they
tempted their captives they would get more out of them. They were going
through all these kinds of things to put them into torture and all that sort of
thing, to get the men to deny God? They found out that all they had to do
was to get a naked woman and put her in the cell with them; and the only
ones who survived were the overcomers. If they had not already learned to
overcome, at that time it would be too late. Amen!
We then must begin to address these areas. We must begin to come
face to face with this battle that is before us. If we do not, we cannot win!
We cannot win! There are many losers in our midst and the losers are going
to lose until they receive the power of God in the various chambers of their
souls to give them the victory. Amen!
So concerning the powers that be, “…spiritual wickedness in high
places,” he said here, “Now, if you want to win, you must take unto yourself
the WHOLE armor of God. ” What does that mean? It means that if you take
only one piece of armor, you are still vulnerable in the other places. You put
on the helmet and so your head is protected, but the rest of your body is
exposed. You put on the breastplate of righteousness, but you also have to
have your feet shod or else the enemy can just destroy you by making you to
be not able to walk. So you have to put on the whole armor.
Let us look at what Paul here in Ephesians 6 states as the being the
armor. Verse 14,
“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth”
Come on, now. You CANNOT stand if you do not have the truth girding
your loins. It is a simple thing! God has put a ministry in the earth, “And he
gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some,
pastors and teachers.”17 None of us will stand unless we believe in the body
of Christ. Do you hear me? Amen.
My father died with diabetes. His sister, my aunt—they died with
diabetes. Sister Ann, his next sister, died with diabetes. The third sister died
with diabetes. Right? However, there was no diabetes on my mother’s side.
Okay. My brother came to me and said, “Ces, we are in trouble. We have to
get to the doctor. We have to make sure that we get this diabetes thing
under our feet.” I said, “I rebuke the thought in the name of Jesus.”
