Wednesday Manna Water Service

Topic: THE MIGHTY, THE TERRIBLE, AND THE STRONGMAN
Text: Isaiah 49:24β26; Matthew 12:29; Mark 3:27; Luke 11:21β22.
Ministering: Dr. Daniel Olukoya (G.O. MFM Worldwide)
We have two days of deep deliverance services. And now I begin to explain to you, very gently and slowly, some of the deepest matters that have kept mankind in sorrow, anger, and trouble. Some of those things that have ensured that the second name for this world is trouble. It makes you understand why Job said “A man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble”. (Job 14:1).
In our topic, I have mentioned three entities. We shall marry all three later. What this entity has done and is still doing has brought multiple sorrows to mankind.
So horrible are the troubles they put people through that Jesus had to spend time explaining them. Before Jesus explained, no one knew what they meant or what they were. This is why you have to listen very carefully. You are inside a military warfare zone now, and anything you do must be done militarily.
Listen carefully to these two special Manna Water services because, in spiritual warfare, it is compulsory to be specific. You cannot just group battles together. You take them one at a time.
Isaiah 49:24β26 (KJV) tells us this: “Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.”
Notice that it is not MFM that said “I will feed them with their own flesh”. The Bible says their own blood will be sweet in their mouth like soft drink.
π₯ I am praying for somebody here: every eater of flesh assigned against you, shall eat their own flesh! in the name of Jesus.
π₯ I pray for somebody here again: any power assigned to drink your blood, any sacrifice assigned to drink your blood, any coven assigned to drink your blood, any arrow assigned to drink your bloodβthey shall be drunken with their own blood! in the name of Jesus. (A sevenfold Amen).
The Bible has identified the mighty and the terrible. Beloveth, it is a dangerous thing to be in the custody of these two powers: the mighty and the terrible. By the mighty, we mean:
– The forceful.
– The powerful.
– The enormous.
– Strong forces that scare away potential helpers.
– Strong forces that chase away people’s potential marriage partners.
– Powerful darkness that is not easy to penetrate.
– The contesters with helper angels are strong enough to go and contest an angel and strong enough to confront and detain an angel.
That is, you could pray, and heaven will release what you want, and it will send an angel to deliver it. But these forces are strong enough to stand against the angel and confront him.
π₯ I am praying for somebody here: powers that chase away good things and then magnetise evil; with a ten-fold Amen, kill them now! in the name of Jesus!
The mighty are:
– Those who argue with deliverance ministers. When you ask them to get out, they say, “No!” One still argued with me this afternoon. I said “Leave this girl alone”. Her husband is overseas, and anytime this woman wants to get a visa, it will not allow her to get it. The power said “no!”. It then said something strange to me. It said, “I am her generational mother.” I said, “Okay, no problem. But now that she has surrendered her life to Jesus, let her go.” It said “no! Their family is in charge of the idols in our place”. Those powers talking and arguing are the mighty.
– Powers that threaten would-be helpers and even deliverance ministers. They will tell the ministers, “I will deal with you. I will kill you.” They are what you call ‘senior serpents, senior scorpions’. When Jesus said “You shall trample upon serpents and scorpions”, they are the senior prefects in the school of serpents and scorpions He was referring to.
– Goliath-like and Pharaoh-like forces.
– Forces that scare small prophets. I was praying with somebody, and the voice spoke and said, “I cannot speak English. Get me somebody who can speak my local language”. We got somebody who could understand the language she was speaking.
The person that we called just suddenly said “Excuse me, sir, I do not want to interpret for this woman; I want to go away”. We asked, “But why?” He said, “She has told me she will deal with me, deal with my wife, deal with my two children in school now, and crash my vehicle. So G.O, please find somebody else”. The person running away from this work is a pastor. Those powers are the mighty. They threaten you.
π₯ I am praying for somebody here: powers that are threatening your helpers that say they want to help you, but later change their minds; let those powers be buried tonight! in the name of Jesus. (A sevenfold Amen.)
The mighty are the prophets that scare small prophets, and even native doctors. A person has gone to a native doctor before to solve a problem. The witch doctor says “Just a minute”, then goes into the room, and then a spirit appears and says to him, “That person that has just come to you, do not try to help him. If you try to help, I will deal with you. So just take whatever you want from his hand. Take his money, but do not help him. If you help, you die” and the witch doctor says “okay”.
That is what happened sometime ago in Iwaya here. A man lost five children and his wife in one day. He woke up in the morning, and six people were dead in one morning in the same house. He was very sad and angry, and he threatened that whoever did it; he would retaliate. So he went to the head of the native doctors here in Iwaya and explained what happened. That one said “Let me consult the oracle”. After that one had consulted the oracle, he shook his head and said, “I am sorry, I cannot help you. I cannot match the forces behind your case”. The man said, “What? I will give you anything you want”. The native doctor replied “I do not want anything, even for free of charge; I cannot help”.
The powers had threatened him. The man then asked, “Okay, is there anywhere I can receive help that I can retaliate?” He was shocked when the witch doctor said, “Do you know that church over there they call MFM? Those people are the only people who can help you retaliate. Go there.” The man was surprised and said, “You are a native doctor, but you are asking me to go to church.” The native doctor said, “You do not know anything. Those are the only people who can help you”. That is when the man came to me. I asked, “So it is a native doctor that asked you to come here?” He said “Yes, sir”.
– The mighty represent high-level parental witchcraft. A lady went to her mother and said, “Mummy, I am 42 years old. No man wants to marry me, but I wish to marry”. The mother, instead of sympathising with her, knelt down and began to beg her, saying, “Please do not bother to marry at all. Please, I am begging you”. Parental witchcraft.
Now imagine. If somebody is a captive of the mighty, you will really have a battle to fight. When somebody is a captive of the mighty, he requires deep deliverance to get out. Not superficial or temporary deliverance, but a deep one to get out. A deliverance that goes to the root of the matter and begins to extract them from the roots, because without getting that root out, there will be problems.
Now, to the second part: the terrible. The terrible are powers of intense fear, extremely bad, extremely horrible, shocking, wicked, very severe, very fierce, violent, and terrible, terrifying powers. These are the terrible. The Bible said “….and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered…”. So much for that.
Matthew 12:29 (KJV) says: “Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.”
Beloveth, this is Jesus speaking, not one of the prophets. He said that the strongman is having materials hidden in his warehouse. Jesus said, “How do you want to enter into that place without first binding the strongman?” Because if you go there, his hands are not tied, his feet are not tied, and the strong man will beat you black and blue and throw you out of the place.
In Mark 3:27 (KJV), Jesus then says categorically: No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
The Bible says, “In the mouth of two or three witnesses, the truth shall be established.” You have read it twice in the Bible now. Now look at Luke 11:21β22.
Luke 11:21β22 (KJV): “When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.”
This strongman is a military personnel. So, a stronger man is needed to go into the house of the strongman and deliver his captives. So part of why we are gathered here is because there are people who are encountering situations that appear bigger than them and bigger than their capacity to handle.
A strongman:
– attempts to take your blessings and belongings.
– Struggles to take away what is dear to you.
– Allows you to find yourself in a state of perplexity and helplessness.
– Is the greatest power standing between you and your promised land.
So you must know that you are fighting a spiritually powerful force. Only anger must rage within you if you want a breakthrough. This is very very serious. You see, when they say something is evil, it is comparatively harmless, feeble, and inactive without the presence of a wicked inspirer. That is why, in spiritual warfare, that popular saying is still relevant. It is a popular Latin saying that says “Si vis pacem, para bellum”. It means “let him who desires peace prepare for war”.
The strongman:+
– Can block and lock your prayers.
– Can pull a person down and make the person insignificant. That was the power that was facing David. David was talented, gifted, and spirit-filled, but the strongman retained him at the back of the desert. He was a solution, but nobody was bringing him to solve the problem.
Therefore, with anger boiling in your spirit, pray this. Because as I was speaking I saw an array of military angels just roaming around here, and when they are around and dressed like that, it is not time for talking again, it is time for military action. With a voice that roars like fire and like thunder, say:
π₯ Powers assigned to make me go into reverse, die! in the name of Jesus.
π₯ Every stronghold of the strongman in my family, die! in the name of Jesus.
π₯ Powers turning back the clock of my life, you are liars, die! in the name of Jesus.
===> Strongman, hear the Word of the Lord: you will not stop me where you stopped my parents! in the name of Jesus.
You see, the Old Testament of the Bible is a shadow. The New Testament is the substance. In the Old Testament, the devil was able to masquerade very well, and many men of the Old Testament could not identify the powers of darkness when they saw them in operation. That is why when the devil fought Job, he said, “The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh; blessed be the name of the Lord,” whereas it was not the Lord at all. So it is in the New Testament that the masks are now removed, and we now begin to see these forces for what they really are. This is why the enemy was able to mess up so many lives in the Old Testament.
The mighty and the terrible that the messianic prophet Isaiah was referring to are what Jesus now began to explain in the New Testament as “the strongman”. So the mighty, the terrible, and the strongman are all one and the same. Jesus explained this. Isaiah, as a prophet, could see people in cages, holed up by the mighty. He could see people as prey, holed up by the terrible. That was all the prophet could see and describe. He was even able to go that far because he was a prophet of the Messiah. The book of Isaiah is the only book where you see the gospel being clearly preached. The characteristics of the strongman were revealed by no less a person than Jesus Himself. He is strong, and Jesus admitted that.
A woman travelled all the way from the United Kingdom to Nigeria for deliverance. Anytime she prayed “Lord, show me the source of my problem”, she would see close relatives. So she quietly bought a ticket to come home. She did not tell anybody she was coming, she did not go to the family house; she just went straight from the airport to the deliverance ground. When the first prayer point was called, the person who shouted the prayer point the loudest was the voice of her mother. She turned back, but there was nobody there. That was the strongman. She did not tell them she was coming, but they followed her there.
Jesus admitted that the strongman is actually strong; he has a house. That house could be a human body. He enters into a human body, locks up the rightful owner of the body, and then takes charge of that body. That is why this Nigerian English is correct that says “You are not getting yourself”. When someone says “You are not getting yourself”, it means something has taken you away and they are now in charge. Jesus said the strongman has goods. These are confiscated blessings from people, and he is zealously guarding them.
Jesus said, “He guards his goods. He is not just armed, but fully armed. He is protected by armour.”. So the bottom line is that if that is the strongman in charge of your case, you require very deep deliverance because the strongman is a legal person. He will follow the law, and capture those who are legally supposed to be captured. Then he now breaks the law by capturing people he is not supposed to capture; Like the book of Ezekiel commented that he is making the souls of men to fly, and he is killing those who are not supposed to die.
π₯ I am praying for somebody here: any power that is not happy with your laughter, that is not happy with your joy, that will desire that you go into everlasting sorrow, with a tenfold amen, before you leave this place, they must die! in the name of Jesus.
We continue from here next week.
