God Is Still God: Spiritual War Behind The Headlines (Deuteronomy 9)

The world talks in terms of politics, power, and territory. Scripture talks about something deeper.

In this church service, we slow the noise down and open Deuteronomy 9, reading it not as history alone but as a living lens on today’s headlines. While media narratives focus on strategy and control, the Bible points to a longer, deeper conflict — one that is spiritual, not just physical.

We trace a 3,431-year thread through Israel’s story and recognise patterns that still repeat: fear, pride, intimidation, and the illusion that human strength wins battles. But Deuteronomy cuts through that narrative with a sharper truth — God goes ahead like a consuming fire, and the battle ultimately belongs to Him.

This message brings it closer to home in the UK, where constant news cycles, social media pressure, and algorithm-driven opinions shape how people think, feel, and respond. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, outnumbered, or worn down by the “giants” in front of you — whether global conflict, personal struggles, or spiritual attacks.

We challenge that mindset directly. Faith is not passive. It’s a shift in perspective — from fear to trust, from noise to truth, from reaction to discernment.

We also address the state of the Church, asking hard questions about spiritual drift, cultural compromise, and the need to return to biblical foundations through prayer, repentance, and obedience.

The service closes at the communion table, refocusing on Jesus — the centre of everything. The bread and the cup remind us of redemption, identity, and the call to stand firm in faith, no matter what the headlines say.

If you’ve been feeling unsettled by the world, this message brings clarity, grounding, and a call back to what actually holds.

Welcome And Ancient Timeline

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Good morning and welcome in the house and across the line today, wherever you are scattered across this beautiful earth. We're going to turn to the Old Testament, the book of Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy chapter 9, and just give you a bit of a timeline, you know, from from now where we are, right back to these, these, these, this word that I'm reading. This uh there's a time gap of 3,431 years. So from now, right back. So this text that we are reading is 3,431 years old. Why are you mentioning that? It's about Israel. What are you talking about? Israel, because Israel is the focal point of the world, has always been the focal point of the world. We are not watching a political war. We must have to grab an understanding on this. We are not watching this political war. It looks like it is. Now, when you look at the Amakites, the Gerbusites, the Hebusytes, and all those, when you look at the giants of old and you look at Nephilium, and when you study what has gone on in history, there is nothing new under the sun. All we have now is social media blowing smoke up the chimney of it all. That's what we have at this moment. So when you look at the news channels and you look that Israel, oh Israel's f Israel has always had to defend itself from the birth to the end word. This is the so Israel has been defending and going through war zones over 3,431 years. This is nothing new under the sun. What we are watching. But the news channels, the the left and the right wing of all that sort of stuff, and all their opinions, and all the radio channels, and all this, all this educational language that's coming out. No one is talking about the spiritual warfare that it is really about. This is against good and bad. This is light and darkness. This is evil and Christ. This this this is this this has nothing to do with a political drive. So what you look at is when you look at the political leaders, you look at and you have to ask yourself, are they born again? Are they saved? Are they Bible believing? Now, when you look in the Old Testament, we're in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter 9. Very interesting what God is telling the Israelites what's going to happen. He's saying you're going to go into a land that is overrun with the enemy. So when we look at the UK right now, we are watching and we are listening to the sound of social media and the sound of certain areas of demographical points. I've got to be very careful how I say things. But we know what we're saying. Men with beards with mats under their arms. Okay. So when you look at that sort of stuff that's happening in other world religions, let me just remind everybody on the other side of the world: your God is dead. Your God is dead. They're dead and they're gone. You can't get salvation, eternity, through nobody else but Jesus Christ. You can't get healing from any other book except the Bible. So what we are looking at right now, you cannot get freedom from anything else except from the God of Israel. So when you look at what's happening around the world, this has nothing to do with Mr. Trump. He is just a puppet dancing to the strings of heaven. When you look at the political leaders, they're only doing what the Bible tells us is happening and will happen. They can't own the straits of Humas. They can't own the barrels of oil. They're robbers. The politicians are robbing us and not only robbing us, they're robbing God. And no, I'm not, this isn't a political chat. This is a spiritual understanding because we have to understand the spiritual side of it because we're never told the spiritual side of it. So when you look at these terrorists that are around at this moment, you know, you look up and you find out who they are. And you, you know, I don't want to give you airplay, I don't want to give that. But we look at Hamas, Hezbollah, um, the Palestinian Islamic Jyads that are out there at this moment in time, the Houthis, and you look at Iran as well, the IRGC, the Islamic uh revolution or guards, and everything out there. It's all driven by Iran. When you look at everything, the ones that are in the Gaza Strip at this moment in time, that the Palestinian Islamists and all that, the Jihads and all that, it is it is biblical. We have to understand that this is spiritual, that it's not political. The word and the understanding of politics has only been around X amount of years. Parliament has only been around a handful of years. The political language has only been a handful of years, but you've got news channels talking as if it's a political understanding. It's not, it's spiritual territory language, but God owns everything. Then you look at the UK, we've got monkeys in number 10 Downing Street that are just dancing to the sound of the banana song and give me more peanuts. We have never had so many monkeys in leaderships, it is beyond human understanding, and we have got to understand that they don't have a clue. And I'm not pulling anyone apart. This is not a political language talk. Scripture, this is about what the Bible says. We have always had the monkeys in leadership, we have always had the evil ones in leadership. It is what they're hungry for, they're hungry for war. So when you look at this scripture, it is so real for where we are. And we're in Deuteronomy chapter 9. Here, O Israel, 3,431 years ago. Israel was fighting for their life. This is what God says to them Hero Israel, you are about to cross. Excellent. I'm gonna go to a land that is gonna be beautiful, that is gonna be wonderful, and it's gonna be Christians flowing in there singing kumbaya, sitting around the fires with their guitars, praising Jesus. Oh no. When you look at where God sent them to take back territory, what we got to understand is that Israel was taking back what was rightfully theirs. Now, when you look at the enemy in their territory, now look at the UK. We have enemy in our land, however way you want to look at that, the Olympic swimmers coming across the channel, what are they carrying? And I'm talking spiritually. What lands they come from, what they carry in their spirit, what God they serve. Because this is nothing new under the sun. Nothing new under the sun. There has always been crossing of lands. So this is nothing new under the sun. What we see, we are always watching human, and we always have watched through scripture, humans crossing into different types of territory. So this is nothing new. So when we see what we see here, this is what it says here, O Israel, you are about to cross the Jordan to go into and uh take back nations greater and stronger than you. Hang on. What do you mean? When you study the enemy in that territory, they was evil warriors. Hamas, Hezbollah, the Palestinian jihads, the Iran, everything. Nothing has changed. All that has changed is that we got aircraft, warship, guns, and bullets. There has always been trouble for Israel. Israel has always been the center of the conversation. So when you look at what's happening now, yes, we have a political drive because the political leaders are talking, and when they talk, they say we got more warships than you, we got more aircraft than you, and they they say we got more punch than you. It doesn't matter how much punch you got, it doesn't matter how much aircraft you got. I'm not worried how much you talk about nuclear warfare. When you realize what God done for the Israelites, as I always say, the safest place to live right now and has always been is in the center of Israel. When you look at Israel and you look at what they battled and what they came through, and look now, just under 10 million people, just under 10 million people, and the whole what the majority of the world is trying to take their territory. They are never gonna be able to touch Israel. Israel is about to stand on its own. A prophecy in the scripture, we're gonna watch certain nations back out because he's hungry for Iceland over there. He's hungry for something else over there. He's so we are watching warmongers that are hungry for land. Now we've got the conversation about the Falklands, Argentina. We we're it's it's tactical language to deviate and to take our eyes off of what's really happening, off of certain files that's happened around the world, a certain one that was in the monarchy, a certain one that was in uh parliament. You know, we got to be focused on Jesus. There has always been terrorism against Israel, and we are just about to read it, and you've probably gone ahead of me already. You're about to cross over the Jordan and go into uh grab the land, the nation that is greater and stronger than you, the large cities, they have walls up to the skies. The people are strong, tall Anarchites. So when you study what the Anakites are and what they represent and their linear and where they came from and where they come from, they were filled with Lucifer from their crown of their head to their toes. They was filled with the devil, they were filled with evil war on their mind. When you look at this, now this I hope and pray will come across to get a clear understanding. It doesn't matter how many warships you got, it doesn't matter how much money you say you got, is when you got God on your side, you don't need a battleship. When you've got God on your side, you don't need an aircraft, you don't need a drone, you don't need a gun. Because the Bible says the battle belongs to the Lord. So when you read this text, the Bible says that God went before and God cleared the way. So in my little life here in the UK, God is clearing the way, God is removing areas of life, people, situations out of your path. But we cannot see what God has already done. The Bible says in the beautiful book of Psalms 119, 105, I believe. Don't don't hold me to that. You know that your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light from my path. Your word is a lamp unto my feet. We are living in days of darkness. We have always been in days of darkness, even though the sun's out, it is dark. And I'm not putting a downer on anything I'm saying, but this is a time for us to be strong in our faith. It doesn't matter how big the armies of the world are, it's when you realize how big your God is. It doesn't matter if certain nations are putting charts up and we're watching that they've got a hundred aircraft, they've got this, they've got that. It doesn't matter how big the army is. Because the God that I serve is bigger than all the armies put together. And with one breath, God could destroy every army with one breath. I haven't got a fight. There's no need to fight, but there's a spiritual fight, and it's known in the language, the heavenly language, and it's about the power of speech. It's very interesting. We are governed, the whole world is governed by the power of speech, the way that they deliver the messages, the way that the message is delivered, the way that it comes across, the presenters on the news channels and their opinions, and the educated person that has a library of words, and I think, oh my goodness, I don't know, A, B, C, and D, and give me a McDonald's. That's the only language that I know. But when you're listening to educators, see, it doesn't matter what language they have, it doesn't matter how how articulate they are. Because you don't need to be articulate, you don't need a pound in your pocket. When you know who your God is, all things are possible to those who believe. So God was taking these back into a territory that he had promised to them. And this land, this nation, England, belongs to God. This is God's territory. We might have some Jebusites, some Amakites, we might have all those Aikes. We might have them in this nation, but that's irrelevant because God does his best work in the face of adversity. He didn't take them into the promised land, and as I said, you've got all the churches there all singing kumbaia, wearing white socks and sandals and singing praising Jesus. They went into a land that was fortified. They went into a land that they had to take back, they had to come under instruction. See, this is the issue that we have in this nation. We have a government that has come out of instruction. The government are not listening to instruction. What do you mean? They have come away from the word of God. The government are accountable for every action that they do according to the word of God. Whoever calls themselves a leader, and when you look in the Bible, you won't read about the political drive, you'll read about governors, satraps, and leaders that were there to govern. When you look at the Old Testament, you had judges, you had kings, you had all that. So what so there's this there's no such thing. The political language is just made up by the political language. It's just made up by rich young boys that have come out of Eton that just want to talk about all that sort of stuff. Don't listen to the political language, listen to the language of heaven, the language of the word of God. Rich young boys in shorts at the moment are trying to rule the world. You'll never rule the world when the king is on the throne. And the king will always be on the throne, the king will always be ruler and judge, and the king will destroy the earth. The king of kings and the lord of lords, we know what's gonna happen, we understand what's gonna happen. The Bible tells us. So when we look at this this word here, this is a word of encouragement and strength. Because we are living in a land full of Jebusites, Canaanites, and when you look at all those heights, I believe there was nine or seven of them. When you look at that, don't hold me to that, and it says, These people are strong and tall. You're about you know about them and have heard them. Very interesting, isn't it? Social media is telling them about themselves. It's very interesting how the enemy is always saying how great and powerful they are. It's very interesting through social media, through the news channels, through the political language. You know, when you look at this, it says, Who can and it let me go back to verse 2 the people are strong and tall. You know about them and have heard it said, Who can stand up against the Ankites? But it is assured today that the Lord thy God is the one who goes across ahead of you, like a divine, a devouring, sorry, fire is gone before. God has always been before, he will always be before, but you'll always be able to smell the enemy's breath. Let's just put it like that. The enemy is always close, and the enemy always feels like it's impossible to do. But God said to the little old Israelites, I'm gonna take you into a land that is your land, and in that land is the enemy, they're giants. They're boasting of their warships, they're boasting of their terrorism, they're boasting of how strong and powerful they are, they're boasting how good they are, they're boasting that their land is their land, it doesn't belong to anybody, but they don't realize who I am that I am the God of Israel, the father of Abraham, Jacob and Isaac, and right the way through, generation after generation. Let's just remind ourselves that this biblical text is 3,431 years, no bar, no mobile phones, no internet, no politician on the face of the earth, but they was in a war zone. Israel was in a war zone, they've always been in a war zone. Who can stand up against them? How often do we hear this across a certain demographic of beards and mats? They're growing so fast, they're taking over the world. We're gonna fall. This UK is gonna fall to a certain demographic, they're everywhere. The devil always overplays his hand. It's always about numbers. When you look at war right now, and you look, well, the greatest war, uh the warriors in the world are numerically strong. They have more warships, more aircraft, more this, more that. That's irrelevant. It's when you realize who you are in Christ Jesus. And I'm afraid to say what's happened in the UK, in England, I'm not talking about what I'm saying is the majority because of the church, it's it's the problem we have is because of the church in the UK, not because of the political drive. The political drive is nothing, the political language is nothing. The issue that we have right now is we are spiritually thin because the church has taken us away from the gospel of hope. This is why we have so much fear and worry in the land. This is why the church is running for the hills, because the church could not see this one coming. The religious leaders did not see this one coming. Why? Because they took their eyes off of Jesus Christ. They made a gospel up that fitted their lifestyle, they made a gospel up that fitted their rhetoric, they made a gospel that fitted up that could say a man could stand in the pulpit with a dress and all that sort of stuff going on, and it's made it's made its own. The church in the UK, I will say this very carefully and very respectfully, the majority of the church in the UK is a cult. It is driven by satanic leaders because they are looking at themselves and they are doing what they want. In the book of Judges, probably one of, I would say, one of the most harrowing texts that I read sometimes, it says, Each man had done what was right in his own eyes, for there was no king in Israel. Very interesting. What we have today, we are not in this predicament because of the political drive, is because the spiritual leaders have taken their eyes off of the Bible and got their own agenda. You cannot fight a spiritual war when you're partnering with the enemy. When you look at what's going on, I'm trying to keep it a bit light, I'm just trying to keep it a bit up there. But when you look at this, you know about them and have heard them and heard it said about them. Who can stand against them? But be assured today that the Lord your God see, we have. Lost our identity in the UK. We are a sweet shop of everything. And we have lost our foundation. He hasn't left us. We have left him. We have left him because the church, religion, has taken us away from the fundamental points of Christianity. So this is why we have such spiritual warfare in the nation. And when you ask yourself, where is the church in the front line of war now? Where is Canterbury? Rome? The Vatican City, what are they doing? They're counting their millions. They're polishing their red bottom shoes. They're counting their art, they got religion is the opposite to the kingdom. See, when you look at the Israelites, the Israelites how did the Israelites go into this land? They went in with nothing. They wasn't able to fight. They didn't have the capabilities of fighting. They had nothing about their autonomy, their physicality. They were families. They had no way of fighting in the enemy's territory. But when you realize who you are, you realize I ain't got to fight. I've just got to believe. Because the Bible says God has gone before you. And when you realize and who you are in Christ Jesus, whether you're online or in the house, when you realize who you are, and that is not about bigging yourself up as the world tells you to big yourself up. Social media tells you you've got to get a profile, you've got to get this, you've got to get that. You've got to go and do A, B, C, and D. All you've got to do is be a Jesus follower and realize who you are in Christ Jesus. You're not who the world says you are. You are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. You are a child of the living God. When you realize who you are, we've got young men following certain people on social media, you've got young women, you've got old, you've got all types of demographics trying to find themselves on social media. The devil's playground. How are you going to find yourself on social media? How are you going to live up? How, when you look at the role models on social media, do you really want to be pumped up with rubber? Do you really want to look fake? Do you really want to be like that? Or do you want to be like Jesus? To be like Jesus is to be comfortable in your own skin. To be able to stand in a field and not worry that you've got no one around you. Because when you realize who's inside of you, see the world always has to gravitate to a crowd. I'll be with the crowd because when I'm in the crowd, I'm part of that. We're not part of that. The crowd don't care about you. The world doesn't care about you. Governments don't care about you, but Jesus Christ does. Jesus Christ loves you. So we have social media and more posts going up than you can actually count of a different understanding of who you should be. And if you try to live up to every one of them, it will destroy you and turn you inside out. And you will be chasing that character, that character, that person, this you cannot live up to what social media is trying to do about the character of the human. And what it does, it's very, very clever social media. It draws us in and it takes our focus off the real world. Because social media is just vapor. The cameras go off, the actresses and the actors just disappear. It's not real life. Real life is what we have now. Real life is going to work. Real life is bringing up family through trouble, tests, and trials. Don't think that living the dream is watching the characters on social media. That will put you into a false spiritual position. It will make you vulnerable to your gender, to who you are, to where you come from. But when you realize who you are in God, I'm a sinner saved by grace. I have favor over my life. Just like this great biblical text that we look at, be assured today, this is for everyone in the house and everybody online. Be assured today, God goes before you. Let's read. But be assured today that the Lord thy God is the one who goes ahead of you, and he is going to go in as a devouring, devouring fire. He will destroy them. See, the Bible says, I am the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. Very important. We are living in a society where we're told that God is all love and everything's okay. When you look at God's character, the Bible says, and I haven't heard a message preached on this for years, God says, I will be an enemy to your enemies. That is a powerful bit of scripture. God says, I will be an enemy to your enemies. See, when you realize who you are, and you realize who you are in Christ, all things become possible. Everything, healing, miracles. You're healed right now. We've been praying for years for healing, for miracles. And God has got you, God has sustained you, God is keeping you, God is with you in the enemy territory. This nation, the England, belongs to God. It doesn't belong to a demographic, it doesn't belong to the houses of parliament, the land England was here before we were here before Parliament was even built. They have robbed us, they are always robbing us. The Bible says, give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Pay your taxes and let them go and buy their bananas and monkeys for whatever they're gonna do. Just pay the taxes and let them jog on and do what they're gonna do. But follow me. Because I'm about to take you into a land that is flowing with promises and miracles and blessings, but in the face of the blessings and the promises and then the miracles, you're gonna see the Jebusites, the Canaanites, and what does God say further on down the scripture? He says, When you go into this land, do not copy what the enemy is doing. What did they do? A golden calf, serving foreign gods. They completely done the opposite to what God told them to do. When a nation does the opposite to what God tells them to do outside of the instruction, devastation comes on the nation. So now we know why we where we are in the UK, in England, because we took our eyes off of Jesus and we worship foreign gods, and we worship human beings, and we have got many golden calves. We have many golden calves, many ashlapoles, many altars to Satan. But this nation belongs to God. The Bible says, if my people will humble themselves and call on my name, I will heal their land. It's very interesting the power of speech. Because you don't need battleships, you don't need aircraft, you don't need guns. What you need is faith. Because faith will take you right into the face of the enemy, and you'll smell the smell the breath of the devils in your life, you'll fill the tension, you'll fill the atmosphere, but God has taken you into a territory that you would never want to go. Because God does miracles in the face of adversity. So this is why I have stress and struggle and strife and pain and worry. Because through the stress, strain, worry, God is shaping me. It's what we call God has got me on the potter's will. He's shaping me and molding me. I'm going through the refiner's fire. But take your time. We're going to come to the table in just a few moments. And when we look at this scripture, in verse 1, he says, Hear, O Israel, you are about to cross the Jordan and go into the land. Nations greater and stronger than you. I wonder if the Israelites were going in, skipping and dancing, saying, Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Yahweh. Thank you, Jehovah Jirah. You are taking us into a land that is filled with corruption, evil, pain, giants, warriors. Hallelujah, Jesus. I wonder what attitude they went into. See, this is critical as well. We cannot go into the areas of life with an attitude. Because an attitude is governed by the surrounding area of what we see, it is driven by emotion. I have got to go into the territory of life with faith, because faith is greater than attitude and natural understanding. Because when you see what God was getting them to do, he was taking them into the enemy's territory. But the land was actually theirs. See, the enemy thinks that it owns the UK. The enemy thinks that this nation is a multi-faith nation. No. This land is a Christian land, and I'm not talking about the weak woke Christianity we got now. I'm talking about what the Bible talks about and refers to about Christianity. Christ in me. Not the pink woke Christianity we got out there. I'm talking about the warrior Christianity, where you don't go with no weaponry, but you go in the greatest name in heaven and earth. Look at Goliath. Where did Goliath come from? Goliath came down the linegy of what we are looking at. Goliath was one of these characters. Goliath was one, he was bred, bred for war, satanic. When you look at how the Nephilim came into being on the earth, and how and why they were so large and so strong and so evil-driven. So when we look at Hamas, Hezbollah, the Palestinian Islamic Jihads, you look at Iran, the IRGC, and everything, and you look at the Houthis, there is nothing new under the sun. All we have now is the political rhetoric of it, and what we have is social media of it, and what we have is a certain colour tie, and not that colour tie. There has always been warfare. There will always be warfare, but it's how do I deal with the warfare? See, the Bible says that our battle is not against flesh and blood, the battle is not against the human race. It's not, the Bible says it's not that. That the battle is in the heavenly realms, and all we got to do as Bible-believing believers, but there is another understanding out there, isn't there, in a certain holy book that says A, B, C, and D to those ones. See, that is not of God. The Bible is extremely clear of how it says. Not me. The Bible says, if anyone comes against you, it is better to be a peacemaker than a warmonger. We're coming to the table. Very interesting. The Board of Peace. We have a certain character that was a certain prime minister of a certain nation known as England that sits on that, that took us into a certain nation, that is connected to a certain nation, that Mr. Blonde-haired man from the other side of the pond is trying to say, take your territory back. What's in the news at the moment? The man is a warmonger. He is hungry for control. Schizophrenic. We got more schizophrenic leaders in positions than we've ever seen before. We have leaders in position that are taking nations, innocent people, into areas of danger. But God says, Walk with me, trust me. I will protect you, I will carry you. So what we see is nothing new under the sun. 3,431 years ago, the Israelites went into the promised land. They crossed the River Jordan and they were faced with the biggest warriors we've ever seen of satanic agents. But they went in and it went a little bit wobbly for them at first because they took on their foreign gods. See, this is what's happening to the UK. We have certain swimmers coming across certain things that are happening, coming across a certain bit of water, and it's what they carry. It's what they carry in the skin. You either carry Jesus or you carry Lucifer. There's no in between. You either carry Jesus or you carry Lucifer. That's biblical fact. Harsh but fact. So what we are living, we are living in a land that is swarmed with locusts according to the Bible. It says at the last days the world will be saturated with swarms of locusts, coming in, devouring the land, stripping back everything, taking everything out of the land. Now the Israelites, before the locusts came into their territory, they was living their life, they was feeding their children, they was at work. Suddenly the locusts came in and took everything out of their and under their feet. And then suddenly the inhabitants of the nation, I think you understand what I'm saying, the inhabitants of that nation were put on the back foot. The locusts got everything, but the real inhabitants of the land were left hanging. You understand what I'm saying? But hang on a minute. When the locusts come in, God destroyed the locusts. God is doing things that we cannot see. So just because we are on the back foot in certain areas, the locusts have come in, they have come in like a swarm. Very interesting. When you watch a swarm of locusts, what color do they show? It's black. A swarm of lotus is as black and as dense as what you can see, depicting darkness. So when you link everything spiritually practically, so when the locusts come into the land and they come in their swarms and their droves, they strip everything back and they take everything because they're greedy, they're hungry, and the locusts are arrogant. The locusts come in and destroyed the land. But God healed that land, and God destroyed the four types of locusts. We have a four types of locusts. I've got to call it a day, we've got to get out of here. There are four times, four types of locusts that are in this land. They've come in, they've come in like a swarm, they've stripped it back, taken everything. The locust says, it's mine, it belongs to me, you owe me. Because that's what the locust does. It is inward focused, it is always about self. But the Israelites before the locusts came in, they had their cabbages, they had their carrots, they had everything, they were serving God, everything was wonderful. The locust came in and it stripped everything out. That's called modern Britain. The locusts are in, they've stripped everything, but God healed the land. When did God heal the land? See, when the Israelites realized I can't do nothing about this, but he can. See, when you pray, when you pray, and you pray from your guts, and you pray from your innermost being, God hears the cry of whatever situation you're in. But we can't use that type of language, we can't use the word because we'll be politically incorrect. You're not allowed to speak like that. It's human rights. I wonder what little character brought that in, and we know where he's sitting right now, on the board of peace. And suddenly, since they all get together on the board of peace, war has broke out. We've got to study what is happening through scripture, sisters and brothers. We are living in a land flowing with milk and honey. This UK, Great Britain, England belongs to the God of Israel. Don't ever be deceived, don't ever be scared of by the locusts that you see. Hold on to God, because just like God, He took them in the face of the enemy. And God said, Watch. It takes faith to get through your bereavement, to get through your fears, to get through your financial crash, to get through your family crisis. It will take faith beyond human understanding. So whatever you face, let me tell you, God has gone before you. So there is nothing new under the sun. The straits of Hamas have always been there. The nation that is claiming it right now is madness. No one doesn't own anything. The paper that it's written on means nothing. God owns everything. God owns everything. The world belongs to God. Everything is God's. Let's come to the table. Father, in the name of Jesus. As you keep us and take us in the enemy's territory, we come to you right now. Right in the face of adversity. Right in the in the UK, right now, in the face of adversity, we thank you that the UK belongs to God, the God of Israel, no foreign gods, no human being. This terra firma that we walk on is holy ground. Father, we thank you. Just like the Israelites, 3,431 years ago, were faced with the biggest Goliaths, the biggest enemies they could ever think. And they went in because God took them in. So Lord, I pray, wherever we are in our lives, we will realize all is okay. Because God is before. So, Lord, I ask you right now, as we break bread, as we take at a cup, Lord, let us realize that this nation, England, belongs to God. I thank you, Lord God. It doesn't belong to any color, it belongs to God. It doesn't belong to any demographic, it belongs to God. I thank you, Jesus. As I stand here, I believe in the biblical Israel because Israel has always been. That no one will ever be able to take Israel out of the hands of God. So, Father, we can even go back 4,000 years in Scripture and see Israel with no weaponry, with no armor. They just went in as God told them to go in. And God gave them every place that the sole of their foot shall tread upon. There is territory that we need to take that doesn't belong to the enemy, that is your territory. So as we come to the table right now, go in to the areas of life where angels fear to tread. When you realize the authority as we come to the table of the authority of Scripture, every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon is your territory. The enemy is just overplaying his hand. Father, bless this bread. As we take this bread, as we recognize this bread is just bread, but what it symbolizes is the body of Christ. And as we take of this cup, Father, we thank you that this cup is a redemption cup. And Father, I thank you that we're cleanse from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. So, Lord, as we pause, as we be still, as we go ahead, Father, I just ask you that we will do this, dear God, and we will humble ourselves and come to the cross. Jesus said this. This is what Jesus has said. Not religion, not the church. And he says, as often as you gather together in my name, break the bread, dip it in the cup, and just remind yourself that this is my body that was broken for you. And when you've taken the bread, take the redemption cup, the third cup on the Passover table, the cup of redemption. You are redeemed. You are loved. You're not in church just because you wanted to come to church. It was written in your journey. You are not online because you decided to click in. It is written in your journey. And the Bible calls it predestination. Oh, the church in the UK don't like that word. Predestination. Because religion thinks it's in charge, and religion is in charge of itself. But when you realize who you are, your life has been predestined. So there are certain points of the journey of life that you will hit no matter what. You will hit no matter what. You can fight it, you can struggle it, but God has got points in your life, marker stones. Just like when the Israelites came through the Great Sea, they picked up the 12 stones and they took them out of the middle of adversity and put them as a marker for generation after generation after generation. The 12 tribes. Interesting, innit? You got 12 tribes, you got 12 disciples. Oh the Bible links the old to the new. Wow. Father, I thank you that as I take this cup, I'm cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Amen. Don't believe what a lot of jargon is out there that when you drink that, it becomes blood. It's just it's just a throat show. It's just a throat show. But what it symbolizes, what it symbolizes the crimson tide of Jesus. The blood, the colour. See, when Jesus had that cup and he had the bread, when he said, This is my body, the bread just didn't become a clone of himself. Suddenly another Jesus standing in front of him. And when he said, This is my blood, suddenly it wasn't another Jesus. He was talking about the symbolic way. Because there's only one Jesus. There's only one Jesus, one high priest, one King, one Savior, one God, one Holy Spirit, the deity, all wrapped up, woven together. Let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we're out of here, Lord. Father, we thank you for the power of the greatest name in heaven and earth. And as Lord, as we as we rest today, and Lord, as we may be finding our identity again in you, I ask you, Jesus, that you will show us the way. And Lord, you are the way, the truth, and the life. But Lord, as we live in a land swarming with locusts, I thank you, Jesus, that the locust life is very short. And Lord, I thank you that salvation is over our lives. And as we live in lands across the world with giants, Nephilium, Goliaths, fortified cities, walls as high as anything, I thank you, Jesus, that in my natural eye nothing is possible. But all things are possible to those who believe. So, Lord, as I live in England, I thank you for this nation. I thank you, Lord, that you're giving us a new government. I thank you, Lord, that you're giving us, dear God, a new push. And I thank you, Lord, that it's not coming from the monarchy. It's not coming back from the Union Jack Flag. It's not coming from any flag. It's not coming from any organization. It's coming from heaven. And I thank you that heaven is here on this earth. As it is in heaven, it is now. So, Lord, I thank you that the kingdom is now. And Lord, I'm walking on holy ground. And this ground that I walk on is my territory. Not because I got a passport, not because I'm a certain demographic, but this land is God's land. And I walk on this land, and wherever I go across the world, it is God's territory. It is God's territory wherever I walk, wherever I live, is God's land. Every raindrop, every snowflake, every area of life God created. He is the creator. He has not been created. Jesus wasn't created, he is the creator. God is gonna may God bless you today, wherever you are.
