I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David.
00:04.501 --> 00:06.246
He shall open.
00:06.266 --> 00:07.630
This is talking about Jesus.
00:07.920 --> 00:16.041
When Jesus comes, there's a key that's going to be laid on him and it's going to be the key of the house of David, which is the key of intimacy, it says.
00:16.081 --> 00:21.688
The key is going to be laid on him, on his shoulder, it says, and he shall open.
00:23.300 --> 00:25.328
There's a door that's getting ready to open.
00:26.300 --> 00:28.388

Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds.
00:52.641 --> 01:02.430
As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by his grace and that he has a real hope and a future for you.
01:05.821 --> 01:08.470
All right, let's get to Acts, chapter 16.
01:08.761 --> 01:11.827
Acts, the 16th chapter, and I'm going to read two verses.
01:11.940 --> 01:13.467
It's going to be 25 and 26.
01:13.801 --> 01:14.986
And I'm going to get into the Word.
01:15.320 --> 01:19.990
It might start off slow but it's going to end strong, Amen, Amen, Y'all with me?
01:20.011 --> 01:24.490
Yes, Okay, I can't have the first service with 85 people.
01:24.861 --> 01:27.146
Be louder than y'all with like 200 people in here.
01:27.166 --> 01:37.326
Amen, yes, Okay, I see y'all who are like you're not going to play me, man.
01:37.367 --> 01:43.066
I got Acts, chapter 16, verse 25,.
01:43.106 --> 01:48.560
Here's what it says At midnight, Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them.
01:48.881 --> 01:52.417
At midnight, the darkest time, the most challenging time.
01:52.517 --> 01:55.015
It was midnight, it was midnight, it was a dark season.
01:55.962 --> 01:57.414
It was a dark season.
01:57.455 --> 01:58.060
It was a dark moment.
01:58.521 --> 01:59.867
Our nation's at a dark place.
02:00.222 --> 02:02.093
Our nation's at a dark moment.
02:03.766 --> 02:04.600
It's a dark season.
02:05.041 --> 02:05.664
But guess what?
02:06.561 --> 02:08.649
They decided to pray and praise anyway.
02:10.921 --> 02:14.808
It says and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them.
02:17.183 --> 02:28.938
Verse 26, it says suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundations of the prison were shaken and immediately all the doors.
02:29.820 --> 02:30.101
Hold on.
02:30.142 --> 02:31.406
Two people were praising.
02:31.487 --> 02:37.367
But let's try that one more time.
02:38.441 --> 02:43.926
Everyone was there in the prison, but only two people were praising.
02:45.201 --> 02:57.112
But because they were praising, the Bible says to all of my sermonists all the doors are going to open this year.
03:01.361 --> 03:03.869
I don't care how impossible it looks.
03:04.441 --> 03:06.087
I declare the doors are opening.
03:06.841 --> 03:11.009
Some of you have been waiting on contracts and I declare that the door for the contract's opening.
03:11.220 --> 03:15.510
Some of you have been waiting on a job and I declare the door for employment is opening.
03:15.841 --> 03:18.490
Some of you have been waiting for salvation for your family members.
03:18.881 --> 03:22.231
I declare that the door of salvation is opening.
03:22.541 --> 03:26.367
Some of you have been in a financial crunch, in a financial dry season.
03:26.801 --> 03:32.569
I declare the door of blessing and prosperity is getting ready to open for you.
03:32.649 --> 03:39.928
Today After today, every door that's been shut by faith is getting ready to open.
03:40.481 --> 03:42.850
I declare there's a door of healing opening.
03:43.281 --> 03:45.689
I declare there's a door of glory opening.
03:46.101 --> 03:48.870
I declare there's a door of power opening.
03:49.261 --> 03:53.327
I declare there's a door of opportunity If you believe in show.
03:57.101 --> 03:58.948
Oh, that's the Faithfield Church right there.
04:01.521 --> 04:09.628
In order to understand what was happening here with Paul and Silas, we need to go back a little bit into the Book of Acts, one of my favorite books in the entire Bible.
04:11.263 --> 04:29.591
And what was happening was that Paul was on his second missionary journey he had already did his first and this was his second time going out and preaching the gospel and ministering the gospel in different cities and in different places all around the known world at that time.
04:30.100 --> 04:43.848
And Paul got into a little scuffle with his friend Barnabas over his nephew John Mark and they decided not to do ministry anymore.
04:44.541 --> 04:51.180
So Paul decides to connect with Silas and him and Silas were about to go into Asia Minor.
04:51.400 --> 04:58.681
But as they tried to in the first service, I really went in on this, but this service I don't feel like I should See.
04:58.721 --> 05:00.186
That's why every service is different.
05:01.902 --> 05:07.350
And as they were trying to go into Asia Minor, the Bible says that the Holy Spirit prevented them from going.
05:07.721 --> 05:10.550
And Paul gets a dream to go to Macedonia.
05:10.981 --> 05:14.310
Paul gets a dream that there's help that's needed in the region.
05:14.550 --> 05:17.829
Paul gets a dream See, we need spirit-led preachers.
05:18.121 --> 05:23.887
We need spirit-led people who are not just going to do what they always do and expect a different resort.
05:24.421 --> 05:28.160
We need people who, when the Holy Spirit tells you to go right, you go right.
05:28.542 --> 05:47.851
When the Holy Spirit tells you to go left, you go left, because when you do it God's way, you could be saving a life and not even realizing the problem is that many of us are doing things based off what it can do for us financially, my God, the connections it can bring us, and the Holy Spirit is completely left out of the equation.
05:48.241 --> 05:53.093
But we need to get back to the place where we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us.
05:53.521 --> 06:01.409
Even if it doesn't seem financially beneficial to us, even though it may not open the doors, even though it may not be the biggest opportunity.
06:01.761 --> 06:03.814
You need to be led by the Holy Spirit.
06:03.834 --> 06:05.782
Amen, I pray.
06:05.982 --> 06:16.951
As a preacher, I'd never get big enough to say no to the small churches Wow Because I feel like they don't have the resources to take care of me.
06:17.401 --> 06:26.311
I want to be led by the Holy Spirit that if he tells me to go to a church with three people, I know that there's a miracle getting ready to happen in that place.
06:26.901 --> 06:32.750
If God tells me to go and preach on the street, it's because there's a soul that needs to be saved.
06:33.021 --> 06:34.828
We need spirit-led people.
06:39.148 --> 06:40.872
That's how revival is going to break out.
06:42.261 --> 07:03.842
And so what happens is that Paul and Silas, as they're on their way to do what God told them to do, they end up in a place called Philippi, the first city in Macedonia, the first city and they land there Before they even start preaching any sermons, even before they start ministering to anyone.
07:04.070 --> 07:10.097
They go into prayer, because prayer is the foundation for anything God is going to do on the earth.
07:12.870 --> 07:16.880
Prayer is the foundation for everything God is going to do on the earth.
07:18.350 --> 07:22.479
Even before Jesus, jesus… we're talking about Jesus, the Son of the Living God.
07:22.590 --> 07:25.118
We're talking about a hundred percent man, a hundred percent God.
07:25.138 --> 07:30.601
When he was on the earth, even Jesus prayed and fasted for 40 days before he started ministry.
07:30.970 --> 07:33.338
But some of you want to do ministry, void of prayer.
07:35.864 --> 07:36.529
They could say Ow.
07:38.015 --> 07:39.279
No one said amen on the heaven.
07:39.851 --> 07:44.014
They said Ow, before he could even be launched out into ministry.
07:44.255 --> 07:47.082
40 days, 40 nights, fasting and prayer.
07:47.470 --> 07:57.894
If Jesus had to do it, how much us, how much more you and me have to get into the mode of seeking God Before we're launched out?
07:57.974 --> 08:00.199
Prayer has to be your food.
08:02.250 --> 08:03.696
You know what birthed my ministry?
08:03.910 --> 08:04.676
It was the carpet.
08:06.510 --> 08:08.157
I was on the carpet on my face.
08:08.471 --> 08:10.029
That's what birthed me in ministry.
08:10.993 --> 08:13.380
I didn't get birthed in ministry because I was a great preacher.
08:13.790 --> 08:15.657
There's preachers a million times better than me.
08:16.070 --> 08:24.372
But what birthed me in ministry was I had a ministry of prayer for the nations Just on the earth.
08:24.954 --> 08:26.078
Great that God wants to do.
08:26.230 --> 08:29.457
He's looking for someone to begin to pray and intercede.
08:29.818 --> 08:30.600
Can I get to the text?
08:30.640 --> 08:31.462
I'm almost there.
08:33.093 --> 08:36.141
You see, I had a strict time restriction in the first service.
08:36.470 --> 08:38.874
It's not as strict, but it's still a little bit strict.
08:44.110 --> 08:46.397
I'm going to try my best to keep an alignment.
08:47.870 --> 08:51.079
Paul and Silas go to Philippi.
08:51.830 --> 08:58.397
They go to the city and the first thing they do is they go into prayer every day, every day, as they're going into prayer.
08:58.779 --> 09:01.673
The Bible says that there was a woman who was demon-possessed.
09:03.311 --> 09:07.738
She was a soothsayer, she was a divination.
09:09.350 --> 09:13.301
She worshiped false gods and she was able to tell people's future.
09:13.892 --> 09:14.997
She was a fortune teller.
09:15.150 --> 09:16.838
She was able to tell people's future.
09:17.390 --> 09:18.214
She was a palm reader.
09:18.470 --> 09:23.961
She was able to tell people's future as Paul and Silas walked every day to prayer.
09:24.242 --> 09:28.081
This girl will begin to cry out these are servants of the Most High God.
09:28.430 --> 09:29.936
These are servants of the Most High God.
09:30.350 --> 09:35.591
It wasn't her words that were wrong, it was her spirit that was wrong, paul and Silas.
09:35.792 --> 09:39.762
They let it go on a few days and the Bible says one day, paul gets annoyed.
09:40.912 --> 09:44.720
You see, god is looking for some people who will just get annoyed by the devil.
09:46.110 --> 09:51.302
The devil's been harassing your family, bringing sickness in your body, bringing confusion all around you.
09:51.630 --> 09:56.462
You need to start getting sick and tired of being sick and tired.
09:56.810 --> 10:04.314
You need to get sick and tired of the enemy throwing shots and arrows at you and saying it's time to fight back.
10:06.710 --> 10:09.376
What's interesting is Paul didn't counsel the demon out of her.
10:12.770 --> 10:14.513
Some of you need counseling, some of you.
10:14.773 --> 10:16.276
The demon needs to be casted out.
10:21.910 --> 10:29.836
I knew there wasn't going to like that, but the church has become so accustomed that when something's wrong, why don't we just talk and have a conversation?
10:30.570 --> 10:32.105
Some things are not meant for a conversation.
10:32.670 --> 10:37.557
Some things are meant for rabah kosotonakayet, Come out in the name of Jesus.
10:37.930 --> 10:39.998
You have no authority here, devil.
10:40.611 --> 10:42.763
There's some stuff you can't counsel out.
10:42.964 --> 10:43.990
You have to cast out.
10:44.451 --> 10:45.434
You have to say Devil.
10:45.474 --> 10:50.357
You have no authority here in my family, you can't stay in my house any longer.
10:50.890 --> 10:53.178
This rebellion is not from God.
10:53.439 --> 10:56.008
It's not from God it can't stay here any longer.
10:56.069 --> 11:06.997
Come on, where are some holy ghost people that say I'm ready to cast out some devils, I'm ready to cast out some demons.
11:07.410 --> 11:10.420
I'm ready to tell the devil you've got no power.
11:10.550 --> 11:12.913
You're here in my family in?
11:12.953 --> 11:15.015
My church in my life.
11:24.745 --> 11:25.546
Can I tell you something?
11:25.830 --> 11:29.817
It is not just me who has that power, each and every one of you.
11:33.510 --> 11:39.303
Jesus already told you in Mark, chapter 16, you will cast out devils.
11:41.696 --> 11:43.261
Some of you have some devils on your job.
11:43.710 --> 11:46.177
You will cast out devils.
11:47.990 --> 11:49.035
Some of you are your bosses of the devil.
11:49.230 --> 11:56.033
You will cast… Some of you are your kids' god devils you will cast….
12:01.570 --> 12:05.177
Wherever I step into, whatever region I step into, hell should be afraid.
12:08.490 --> 12:10.437
I'm talking to the wrong side, maybe this side.
12:11.831 --> 12:20.940
Wherever you step, hell should be afraid that you step on the scene, because greater is you that lives within you than he that is in the world.
12:21.310 --> 12:24.520
Hell should be afraid because there's power on the inside of you.
12:26.234 --> 12:27.157
Hell should be afraid.
12:31.610 --> 12:36.019
Hell should be afraid when you step into a region because you've got power.
12:38.350 --> 12:39.896
You know why there's some stuff.
12:40.912 --> 12:42.637
Why is this person always angry when I'm around?
12:44.350 --> 12:45.572
It's because you stir up their demons.
12:52.470 --> 12:56.480
You can ask my wife and I promise I'm not lying.
12:57.210 --> 13:01.121
I walk down the street and people just start am I lying?
13:02.271 --> 13:08.630
Leave me alone, get out of here, sir.
13:08.671 --> 13:15.097
I don't even know you, ma'am, I've never met you before, but they know me by the Spirit.
13:19.184 --> 13:19.825
You've got power.
13:20.190 --> 13:22.971
Somebody say I've got power, I've got.
13:23.051 --> 13:23.332
Holy.
13:23.372 --> 13:24.175
Ghost power.
13:25.670 --> 13:27.416
That means you're armed and dangerous.
13:28.270 --> 13:29.925
That means you're armed with power.
13:30.570 --> 13:32.197
You're armed with the full armor of God.
13:32.310 --> 13:33.937
You've got the sword of the Spirit.
13:34.310 --> 13:38.237
You've got the helmet of salvation, you've got the breastplate of righteousness.
13:38.630 --> 13:41.939
Your feet are shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
13:41.959 --> 13:45.133
Come on, somebody, I'm armed and dangerous.
13:53.910 --> 13:55.715
They cast out this demon out of this girl.
13:56.096 --> 13:58.973
And here's the thing they're casting out the devil.
14:01.830 --> 14:04.996
She made lots of money for the people in that region.
14:07.901 --> 14:08.262
Do you know?
14:08.302 --> 14:18.711
When the people of God start arising into our God-given authority, we start disrupting demonic commerce and demonic economy.
14:20.440 --> 14:21.283
Let me say that again.
14:22.360 --> 14:24.027
When we start moving in our divine….
14:24.320 --> 14:36.482
Let me tell you, the strip club is going to have to get shut down because we're going to step in there and we're going to destroy the economic ecosystem of every satanic scheme and plop.
14:40.300 --> 14:42.110
So many people are going to start getting saved.
14:42.140 --> 14:43.706
They're not going to have business anymore.
14:45.303 --> 14:46.186
Three people shouted.
14:46.888 --> 14:47.710
It's happened before.
14:47.960 --> 15:07.640
I believe this city is going to hit such revival that the demonic infrastructure is going to have to be torn down, that the demonic systems are going to collapse under the weight of God's glory and God's power and God's anointing.
15:07.860 --> 15:09.063
Somebody shout in here.
15:14.402 --> 15:20.208
I was actually looking something up, because I know some people have made this into a political thing, but I do think it's really powerful.
15:20.421 --> 15:26.644
I think if kingdom people start tapping into this reality, we'll see God do more than we've ever imagined.
15:28.442 --> 15:33.271
As a church, we have powered up bankrupt demonic systems.
15:35.720 --> 15:37.383
The Lord began to show me Disney.
15:43.421 --> 15:48.812
They were promoting LGBTQ agenda to children.
15:51.389 --> 15:52.660
They were promoting demonic….
15:53.142 --> 15:54.627
You see that's what I'm talking about a system.
15:54.840 --> 15:56.305
Some of you just look at Disney as innocent.
15:57.200 --> 15:58.480
They just do movies.
15:58.480 --> 16:00.145
You don't see the spirit behind it.
16:02.200 --> 16:05.828
Discernment helps you look beyond the words and the message and see the spirit.
16:08.040 --> 16:17.546
What's happening is that there's a spirit that's being disseminated upon this generation that says everything's okay, just live the life the way you want it.
16:17.880 --> 16:19.025
Don't listen to your parents.
16:20.843 --> 16:21.906
They're a little bit crazy.
16:23.881 --> 16:27.608
Listen to me, y'all are, but I'm just kidding, but I'm serious.
16:30.760 --> 16:34.671
But we need to bankrupt these demonic systems.
16:35.341 --> 16:39.308
Disney lost $50 billion of its market cap.
16:43.216 --> 16:44.037
Come on, church.
16:44.097 --> 16:45.380
It's time for us to arise.
16:46.483 --> 16:48.610
We're going to be the righteous standard on the earth.
16:49.321 --> 16:49.762
You know what?
16:49.782 --> 16:56.606
We're going to come up with our own entertainment systems as the systems of the world collapse.
16:56.927 --> 16:59.212
We're going to come up with our own system.
17:00.082 --> 17:02.186
It's going to be called the kingdom system.
17:05.700 --> 17:11.752
What is going to disseminate on the earth is righteousness, holiness, good morals, love, peace.
17:12.440 --> 17:13.885
Come on somebody.
17:18.120 --> 17:22.628
I don't promote alcohol, right, because I don't drink, and I just don't personally.
17:24.080 --> 17:25.322
They're sipping saints, but not me.
17:32.920 --> 17:35.348
Some of the old school saints are going to understand that joke.
17:36.180 --> 17:38.325
The new school saints are like oh my God, she's so condemning.
17:41.900 --> 17:42.662
But the old school saints?
17:42.682 --> 17:45.089
There was a book literally written called Sipping Saints.
17:46.280 --> 17:48.147
Back in the days you couldn't do everything with a sin.
17:48.980 --> 17:53.383
You breathed too loud, you were sinning, you were coughing and you were sinning.
17:59.960 --> 18:00.925
Now nothing's a sin.
18:01.281 --> 18:01.944
I just don't get it.
18:02.800 --> 18:04.546
We went from one level to the next.
18:05.880 --> 18:06.362
Everything was a sin.
18:06.382 --> 18:07.146
Now nothing's a sin.
18:07.240 --> 18:16.061
I'm like God, bring us back to the balance of your word, budweiser.
18:16.421 --> 18:30.552
$27 million lost Target $15 billion lost.
18:30.580 --> 18:34.631
Demonic systems are collapsing all around us.
18:35.260 --> 18:44.330
We can't see in the Spirit enough to realize what's happening as a church, because we're starting to unite, and it's not a racial thing.
18:44.350 --> 18:49.691
We're united around more than our race, more than our culture, more than where you grew up.
18:50.000 --> 18:52.568
You know the uniting force for the church, jesus.
18:53.060 --> 19:06.863
You know the uniting force, the kingdom of God, I don't care how you look, we're united on one thing, and it's the power of the gospel of Jesus that makes hell scare.
19:13.000 --> 19:14.304
We need a church that really has power.
19:17.080 --> 19:20.508
We need a church where demons can't hide, where witches can't hide.
19:22.560 --> 19:23.663
We need that power again.
19:26.942 --> 19:38.646
All right, let me get to my point, because I'm talking about all the doors being open and I didn't really get to touch on it the way I wanted to in the last service.
19:43.340 --> 19:49.011
Paul after he does what he does, he faces persecution.
19:50.860 --> 19:54.822
The Bible says they take him into the marketplace, the place he disrupted.
19:57.406 --> 20:01.494
That's the place they took him into to persecute him.
20:02.721 --> 20:07.830
See, there's Christian companies being persecuted in the place that they're disrupting the marketplace.
20:10.880 --> 20:29.255
You don't think that Twitter has an agenda, facebook or Instagram when they block certain Christian, certain companies that have Judeo-Christian values?
20:30.964 --> 20:32.489
No, it's just normal, just regular.
20:33.321 --> 20:37.426
No, no, it's a form of persecution that's about to increase.
20:38.288 --> 20:47.083
As the days become more evil, as wickedness begins to increase on the earth, the persecution of the saints are only going to get worse.
20:48.320 --> 20:58.043
I know that's not a good news message, but it is a good news message, because a good news message is this that even as the persecution increases, the church is going to grow.
