00:08.278 --> 00:12.342
Deuteronomy 33:29

00:12.342 --> 00:14.124
blessed are you O Israel

00:14.124 --> 00:15.482
who is like you

00:15.482 --> 00:17.569
a people saved by the LORD

00:17.569 --> 00:19.535
who is the shield of your help

00:19.535 --> 00:21.550
and the sword of your majesty

00:21.550 --> 00:22.748
so your enemies will

00:22.748 --> 00:24.213
cringe before you

00:24.213 --> 00:25.786
and you will tread

00:25.786 --> 00:28.028
upon their high places

00:28.028 --> 00:29.839
that's an awesome promise of God

00:29.839 --> 00:32.365
we are called to tread upon

00:32.365 --> 00:34.651
the high places of the enemy

00:34.651 --> 00:36.590
let's look first at what this says

00:36.590 --> 00:38.942
it says Israel, we're grafted

00:38.942 --> 00:40.807
into Israel by the blood of Messiah

00:40.807 --> 00:43.030
so these promises are for us

00:43.030 --> 00:45.492
first thing, saved by the LORD

00:45.492 --> 00:46.541
second thing is

00:46.541 --> 00:49.492
He is a shield and a sword

00:49.492 --> 00:51.714
the seed of Abraham

00:51.714 --> 00:53.108
is who we are

00:53.108 --> 00:55.896
we're grafted in to this olive tree

00:55.896 --> 00:57.014
and we're to tear down

00:57.014 --> 00:58.465
the high places around us

00:58.465 --> 01:00.010
what are the high places

01:00.010 --> 01:01.195
high places are things

01:01.195 --> 01:02.345
that people worship

01:02.345 --> 01:03.667
that are not God

01:03.667 --> 01:05.145
things that people worship

01:05.145 --> 01:06.300
instead of the living God

01:06.300 --> 01:07.407
it could be money

01:07.407 --> 01:08.647
it could be power

01:08.647 --> 01:12.312
it could be self acclaim

01:12.312 --> 01:14.215
it could be pornography

01:14.215 --> 01:15.365
all kinds of things that people

01:15.365 --> 01:16.926
look to for comfort

01:16.926 --> 01:18.560
that people worship

01:18.560 --> 01:20.909
and the high places of our enemies

01:20.909 --> 01:22.760
are things that are like

01:22.760 --> 01:24.880
immorality, corruption

01:24.880 --> 01:27.188
controlling power, debt

01:27.188 --> 01:28.923
these are high places

01:28.923 --> 01:30.196
that occupy people's lives

01:30.196 --> 01:32.042
they control people's lives

01:32.042 --> 01:34.226
so the high places of

01:34.226 --> 01:35.516
enemies around us might be

01:35.516 --> 01:39.590
immorality or corruption or debt

01:39.590 --> 01:41.494
you'll never trample the high places

01:41.494 --> 01:43.824
of your enemies until

01:43.824 --> 01:45.701
you take dominion of that area

01:45.701 --> 01:47.022
in your own life

01:47.022 --> 01:48.060
what does it mean

01:48.060 --> 01:49.480
you're going to have to tear down

01:49.480 --> 01:51.086
the high place in your own life

01:51.086 --> 01:52.852
that's what gives you authority

01:52.852 --> 01:55.458
to help somebody else tear it down

01:55.458 --> 01:57.001
If you're free from debt

01:57.001 --> 01:58.186
and you have no debt

01:58.186 --> 02:00.041
it's much easier to help

02:00.041 --> 02:01.065
somebody else conquer debt

02:01.065 --> 02:02.299
and eliminate it

02:02.299 --> 02:04.274
if you are free of pornography

02:04.274 --> 02:05.644
and impure thoughts

02:05.644 --> 02:07.605
it's much easier to help

02:07.605 --> 02:08.875
somebody else get free

02:08.875 --> 02:10.411
to trample that high place

02:10.411 --> 02:12.018
in somebody else's life

02:12.018 --> 02:13.751
so God will allow us

02:13.751 --> 02:15.055
to trample the high places

02:15.055 --> 02:16.325
of our enemies

02:16.325 --> 02:18.164
when we first tear down

02:18.164 --> 02:20.628
the high places in our own lives

02:20.628 --> 02:22.235
so you have authority

02:22.235 --> 02:23.844
to release somebody from debt

02:23.844 --> 02:24.710
when you're out of debt

02:24.710 --> 02:26.506
you have authority to

02:26.506 --> 02:28.444
help somebody that struggles with anger

02:28.444 --> 02:29.919
when you've conquered anger

02:29.919 --> 02:31.883
so tear down that high place

02:31.883 --> 02:33.997
in your life

02:33.997 --> 02:35.068
when you do it

02:35.068 --> 02:36.502
that gives you authority

02:36.502 --> 02:38.018
to trample the high places

02:38.018 --> 02:39.165
of your enemies

02:39.165 --> 02:40.193
to tear down corruption

02:40.193 --> 02:41.754
in other people's lives

02:41.754 --> 02:43.245
to tear down debt

02:43.245 --> 02:44.462
in other people's lives

02:44.462 --> 02:45.336
to help other people

02:45.336 --> 02:46.656
get free of immorality

02:46.656 --> 02:48.355
or pornography or corruption

02:48.355 --> 02:50.052
or controlling spirit

02:50.052 --> 02:52.392
or all those kind of things

02:52.392 --> 02:53.998
so the question today is

02:53.998 --> 02:55.094
Lord if I want to

02:55.094 --> 02:58.172
tear down the high places of my enemies

02:58.172 --> 02:59.713
and it doesn't mean people

02:59.713 --> 03:01.796
but it means spiritual enemies

03:01.796 --> 03:04.187
that capture people and use them

03:04.187 --> 03:05.241
if we want to tear down

03:05.241 --> 03:07.379
high places in our society

03:07.379 --> 03:08.322
we want to tear down

03:08.322 --> 03:11.832
high places in the congregation

03:11.832 --> 03:14.517
or high places among politicians

03:14.517 --> 03:16.453
first deal with it in your own life

03:16.453 --> 03:19.131
so LORD would you speak to me today

03:19.131 --> 03:21.537
what are the high places in my life

03:21.537 --> 03:22.919
Father what are the areas

03:22.919 --> 03:24.885
that I trust in, instead of you

03:24.885 --> 03:26.913
that I look to as a source of comfort

03:26.913 --> 03:28.401
as a source of life

03:28.401 --> 03:29.645
things that I trust in

03:29.645 --> 03:31.177
God would you reveal

03:31.177 --> 03:32.477
and expose high places

03:32.477 --> 03:35.001
in my life today

03:35.001 --> 03:38.057
Lord I want to tear those things down

03:38.057 --> 03:41.172
I want to deal with them with a vengeance

03:41.172 --> 03:42.299
to eliminate them

03:42.299 --> 03:44.026
that I might have authority

03:44.026 --> 03:45.723
to deal with the high places

03:45.723 --> 03:47.276
and trample them under foot

03:47.276 --> 03:49.156
the high places of my enemies

03:49.156 --> 03:50.650
so Father would you show us

03:50.650 --> 03:52.747
the high places in our own lives

03:52.747 --> 03:55.165
that we might tear them down today

03:55.165 --> 03:58.101
in the mighty name of Yeshua

03:58.101 --> 04:00.048
Amen
