Verse 13. Now, this is very interesting. In that day shall fair virgins meaning those who are pure.

Whenever the Bible speaks of virgins, it's speaking about those who have not been defiled.

That is why you find in the Gospels it speaks about the foolish virgins and the wise virgins. But these virgins are even better because they are fair, meaning the beautiful virgins. Meaning external beautification.

And purity does not mean God has spoken.

And when he speaks about young men young men, it is talking about those who are in their prime of strength.

The Bible saying the undefiled and those who are within their strength or what we call the anointing they will faint for thirst.

So just because I don't do anything wrong does not mean God has spoken to me.

You see how the things of the spirit are strange? We are training people to be virgins.

Rightfully so. But it is not enough if there is no hunger for the presence. Because when the Lord shows up, he's not coming for a virgin. He's coming for For who have oil. Amen. Amen.

And their light is burning.

Amen.

Hallelujah.

IT IS THAT FIRE that will keep you pure.

It is that oil that will keep you in his purpose.

Yes, sir.

Not because you haven't done anything. Because not doing anything is like a man who was given a talent and they buried it and didn't do anything with it.

I used to steal, I don't steal anymore. Well and good. But what is God saying?

I used to be promiscuous now. I'm delivered. What is God saying?

I used to not be in church.

Now I'm in church. That is good, but what is God saying?

When where you are Let me say this way.

Spiritual discomfort should never be noticed when external things are falling apart.

Because before anything physically happens it starts spiritually. And if you missed it spiritually it will manifest physically. And when it manifests physically it means you missed everything that was happening spiritually. Now it has spilled over into the physical. Now even if you fix it physically it does not mean you have fixed it spiritually.

The Lord Jesus spoke about an evil spirit coming out of a man. Said, if an evil spirit is cast out of a man, it goes into dry places. The house is made clean.

Everything is put in order. But the evil spirit goes and finds seven more wicked spirits than itself.

And they come back.

[clears throat]

And they make the man's condition worse than it was before. Now, I want you to observe something here. When you are new in Christ, your body is simply a house.

But the goal is for your body to become a temple.

Jesus never referred to his body as a house. He always referred to it as a temple. Why? Because it was a place of God's dwelling.

This man made the house clean.

Meaning he went above his former mistakes and failures.

But the demon who once TORMENTED HIM KNEW, I cannot enter through what I used to do with him. Because he has gone higher.

AND HE HAS ABANDONED WHAT we used to do.

BUT I KNOW A WAY BACK IN BECAUSE HE HAS NOT YET received God's presence. HE HAS JUST CHANGED his physical ways. IT IS NOT A TEMPLE, IT'S STILL A HOUSE THAT HAS JUST BEEN MADE CLEAN. SO, I NEED TO GET SPIRITS STRONGER THAN MYSELF, more evil than myself. I need to INTRODUCE A NEW PATTERN into his life.

And we will be able to be reestablished in that house. So, he goes finds wicked spirits and they partner together. And they come back and they make the person's condition worse.

This is the danger of overstaying when God is trying to push you out of where you are.

Because in the spirit if God has opened a new door for you to be elevated spiritually the devils of those levels that YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE STILL NOT ENTERED INTO THE REALITY of where God is sending you. THEY WILL IMMEDIATELY ATTACK YOU WHERE YOU ARE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT IS THEIR ONLY CHANCE OF destroying you.

THAT IS WHY YOU FIND THAT JESUS IS born and THAT IS WHEN THE DEVIL IS SEEKING TO KILL HIM. BUT THE MOMENT JESUS MATURES, THE DEVIL IS NO LONGER SEEKING to kill him. The devil IS TRYING TO STOP HIM FROM GOING TO THE CROSS. AFTER TODAY'S WORD THE DEVIL WILL ONLY TRY TO STOP YOU FROM ENTERING into your purpose. He will NO LONGER BE ABLE TO KILL YOU.

HE WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO STOP THE VISION. HE WILL TRY TO USE PEOPLE TO DISCOURAGE YOU. But he CAN NO LONGER FIGHT YOU BECAUSE THE THE YOU STEP INTO WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. AYY YA YA YA YA YA YA.

HALLELUJAH.

WHEN YOU STEP INTO WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU, YOU HAVE ALREADY WON.

YES.
