I’m here tonight not just to preach but to prophesy, and I prophesy that tonight is a night of deliverance (bondages are going to be broken, captives are going to be loosed, prisoners are going to go free)
Tonight is your night (satans power is breaking off your life for good)
Jesus says to his disciples: Go into town and when you see the colt tied up (loose him) and bring him to me.
I am one of his disciples tonight and God sent me here to loose you tonight
I am not here to entertain you or be entertained (I’m on assignment) I’m on a mission to destroy the works of the devil.
1Jn 3:8 For this purpose the son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Satan is a trespasser he has no rights or authority over your life, everything satan holds, he holds illegally.
Jesus said: Loose him and bring him to me
Then Jesus tells them: Expect opposition, expect resistance, expect confrontation, in other words (expect a fight).
The devil never surrenders without a fight.
But the point is: When the master commands you to be loosed, nothing can hold you, no devil is big enough to keep you bound.
Jesus said here’s the reason you are loosing the colt (I need him) The master needs you.
I don’t care where you’ve been or what you’ve done, (You may have shot up or snorted a line in the parking lot, you may be sitting here high right now) you may be a fornicator, a liar, an adulterer, a homosexual or a lesbian, but the bottom line is Jesus needs you, he wants you.
We are all x somethings: We were all bound by sin and satan at one time and Jesus set us free.
In this house are x drug addicts, x liars, x thieves, x fornicators, x alcoholics, x porno addicts but Jesus came and set us free.
If you came here bound today (you can leave free) Jesus will set you free
I came to tell you tonight: You are valuable and you are vital to the plan and purpose of God.
That’s the message of the gospel: God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life (Jhn 3:16)
Every single soul is valuable and vital to God
Tell your neighbor: You are valuable
Now tell them: You are vital
You are precious, you are important, you are special.
God paid the highest price that could be payed, when he gave his own son to redeem us back to himself.
You are vital
Vital: urgently needed, indispensable, essential, absolutely necessary, crucial, critical.
Your body cannot live without blood, without a liver, without kidneys, without lungs, without a heart.
You are just as vital to God is blood is to your body, as lungs, as a liver, as your heart is to your body.
You are indispensable to God.
*We have heard it said many times: God doesn’t need me, but I sure need him.
*God can make it without me but I sure can’t make it without him.
*God can do it without me, but I can’t do anything without him.
*God is awesome, but I’m nothing
*God is all powerful, but I’m week and helpless, and powerless.
I know this sounds very humble and spiritual and self denying and God exalting, but the truth is (it’s not biblical)
In fact it is actually opposite of what the bible teaches.
What this mind set does is separate us from God, It puts God and his power and his anointing outside of us.
It puts God way up in heaven with all his power and glory sitting on a big throne surrounded by angels and cherubims and seraphims, and us way down here on earth (weak and lowly, barely getting by, with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, just hoping to getting a touch every now and then just to make it over the next mountain.
It may sound spiritual and it may sound humble, but it’s not biblical
*My bible tells me that my body is the temple of the HolyGhost
*My bible tells me that God dwells in me 1 Co 3:16 1 Jn 4:15
In fact my bible tells me that God lives in me and walks in me 2 Co 6:16
He doesn’t just call me up, or text me or e-mail me, (he doesn’t just drop by to visit every now and then, but he is a permanent resident).
He walks through my feet
He touches through my hands
He speaks through my lips
When I show up (God shows up)
When I get there (God is there)
The Kingdom of God is not a place somewhere over the rainbow where I go when I die, (The Kingdom of God is a present tense reality, and it’s here now) in me, and in you if you’ve received the king into your life.
Lu 17:20-21 The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
That means the authority and the power of the Kingdom of God is in me (it’s in you)
When I show up the kingdom shows up
Ro 14:17 The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness peace and joy in the HolyGhost.
(It’s in the HolyGhost) It’s a spiritual kingdom
1Co 3:9 For we are labourers together with God
Notice not for God (with God)
We are working together (we are partners in the work)
God has chosen to partner with us to bring in the harvest and establish the Kingdom of God.
God is Spirit (We are flesh)
God needs our flesh to touch flesh
He needs our hands to touch
He needs our feet to walk
He needs our lips to speak
He needs our flesh, and we need his Spirit
His Spirit in us (the anointing in us) empowers us to be his witnesses.
If your feet don’t go (God doesn’t go).
If your hands don’t reach out (God doesn’t touch)
If you don’t open your mouth (God doesn’t speak)
Ro 10:14-15 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
Just as Jesus brought God to us, Now we bring God to others.
Jesus said: As the father hath sent me even so send I you. (Jn 20:21)
And again in Jesus high priestly prayer Jn 17:18 As thou father hath sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Just as Jesus was anointed to heal the sick, cast out devils, and set captives free, we are anointed to do the same thing (2 Co 1:21) (Mk 16:15-20)
We are here to continue the work Jesus started: We are continuators
One of Satans greatest weapons against the believer is to make them feel unnecessary, invaluable, and inadequate.
But our text says: The master hath need of thee (God needs you!)
You are important to the program of God (God can’t do it without you)
2000 years ago God lived in the body of a Jew named Jesus (today he lives in the body of a person named Terry, or David, or Johnny or Debbie, or Suzie (Put your name in the blank)
Through your body God will manifest himself and reveal himself to the world.
Jesus said: Ye are the light of the world and the salt of the earth.
You may feel inadequate but the bible says: He hath made us able ministers of the New Testament (2Co 3:6)
You are able
*You have the blood of Jesus *You have the Name of Jesus * You have the Word of God
*You have the Power of the HolyGhost
You are chosen Eph 1:4 You are anointed 2Co 1:21 You are appointed Lu 10:1 & 1 Thess 5:9
You are able (You have the right stuff)
God wants you on his team
God needs you
No body can do your job (If you don’t do it, it won’t get done)
If you don’t say it, it won’t get said
There are those that are waiting for your touch, and if you don’t touch them they won’t get touched.
You are the only Jesus some people will ever see
You are the only bible some people will ever read
You have their healing
You have their deliverance
You have their miracle
You have their breakthrough
You have their answer and his name is Jesus
We are quick to tell people: Don’t look as us, we can’t help you, just look at Jesus.
But Peter and John said: Look on us (Because they knew Jesus was in them)
They said: We don’t have any silver of gold, but we have something that can heal you, and deliver you and change your life, and we have been authorized and empowered to give it to you and anyone else who needs it.
And what we have we give to you (In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth) rise up and walk
You have that same Authority, you have that same anointing in you and on you, you have that same power.
(We didn’t get a different HolyGhost)
Some people think Jesus and the Apostles had a full grown HolyGhost with all power, but we just have a baby HolyGhost with just a little power.
You have that same: Christ in you the Hope of Glory Col 1:27
Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world 1 Jn 4:4
Greater is he that is in you poverty and lack
Greater is he that is in you than drugs and alcohol
Greater is he that is in you than marriage problems
Greater is he that is in you than witchcraft and sorcery
Greater is he that is in you than depression, fear, anxiety, stress, oppression
Greater is he that is in you than heart trouble, and sugar diabetes, and arthritis, and cancer, and kidney disease and liver trouble.
Me and God are a team, Me and God are partners
Me and God are awesome
Me and God can do the impossible
Me and God are unstoppable
Me and God are a threat to hell
I don’t care what has you bound today: I came in the name of Jesus to declare your liberty (Jesus came to set the captives free)
I prophesy that you are going free: The Master needs you
I am here in the Authority of Jesus name to break every chain that binds you and set you free (There is power in the blood of Jesus to break every chain and destroy every bondage in your life).
Col 2:15 Jesus spoiled principalities and powers and made a show of them openly triumphing over them in the cross.
Satans power over you is broken
Jesus bought your liberty with his blood
Zech 9:11 By the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit where no water is.
By his blood you are coming out of every pit, every yoke, every bondage, every addiction.
Jesus comes to set you free (Because he needs you).
The Master Needs You!
