ISIS
Unleashed…the DEMNONIC Invasion on the World
1.) INTRO---Warning Graphic Violence ISIS 01:59
Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty
power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against
the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this
dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you
may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
(NIV)
Demonic Possession
The devil and his minions enters into the bodies of people to
have them carry out his acts of evil.
Matthew
8: 28-34 When
he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two
demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no
one could pass that way. “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they
shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed
time?” Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. The
demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of
pigs.” He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the
pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in
the water. Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported
all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. Then the
whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him
to leave their region. (NIV)
1.)
They had to
acknowledge the presence of Jesus by coming out to meet Him. (ISIS destroys all things of God including the tomb of Jonah.
They attempt to insult, destroy and remove all aspects of Christianity and
those who oppose them.)
Romans 14:11 It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ” (NIV)
Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave to
him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue
acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (NIV)
2.)
Violence had
overtaken the men. (ISIS does beheadings, crucifixions, mutilations, rapes,
eating of body parts, etc.)
1 Peter 5:8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls
around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (NIV)
Job 1:6-7 One day the angels came to present themselves before the
Lord, and Satan also came with them. The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you
come from?” Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going
back and forth on it.” (NIV)
3.)
No one could
get past the men. (ISIS is
gaining territory and empties all the Christians out of their region.
Airstrikes alone cannot defeat the devil. Prayer through the blood of Jesus can
intercede and support the military mission.)
Acts 19:13-17 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to
invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They
would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come
out.” Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. One day the
evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are
you?” Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them
all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and
bleeding. (NIV)
4.)
They shouted
and questioned Jesus’ presence. (ISIS constantly sends messages about their evil actions.)
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is
filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” (NIV)
5.)
They knew that
they could not co-exist in the presence of Jesus. (ISIS does not want to coexist with the children of the REAL
God)
James 4:7 Submit
yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (NIV)
2.) BREAK---The Beast 01:01
ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria)
1. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis)
or ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and
Levant: Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan) The original name
for the group in Arabic was Al-Dawla Al-Islamiya fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham. The
first three words translate to the Islamic State of Iraq while “al-Sham” refers
to Syria or an undefined region around Syria. The Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant (Isil)
What is a Caliphate?
1.
A caliphate is an Islamic state. (This is
territory that they have captured.)
2 Corinthians 4:4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they
cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is
the image of God. (NIV)
Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed
him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I
will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” (NIV)
2.
It's led by a caliph, who is a political and
religious leader (This is like the president and pope combined.)
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him,
we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by
the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by
letter—asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. Don’t let
anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion
occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He
will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is
worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to
be God. Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you
these things? And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be
revealed at the proper time. For the secret power of lawlessness is
already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till
he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed,
whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by
the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in
accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power
through signs and wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that
wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused
to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful
delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be
condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
(NIV)
3.
Who is a successor (caliph) to the Islamic prophet
Muhammad. (This leader will be one who will enforce the religion and teachings
of Muhammad the False Prophet.)
1 John 4:1-6 Dear friends, do
not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from
God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit
that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from
God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and
even now is already in the world. You, dear
children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is
greater than the one who is in the world. 5They are from the world and therefore speak from the
viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but
whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the
Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. (NIV)
3.) BREAK---ISIS: world’s
richest terror group 01:07
Where did the name
“ISIS” come from?
Isis (Ancient Greek) is
an Egyptian goddess whose name means “throne.” On her head is a throne. She was first worshipped by Ancient Egypt and
was later spread throughout Rome. Her worship is still done by many pagans
religions. She is said to be the mother of Horus, the falcon-headed deity. She
is said to be the “protector of the dead and goddess of children.” She
represented Pharaoh’s power who was said to be her child and sat on her throne.
She is believed to be the first daughter of Geb, god of the earth, and Nut,
goddess of the sky. She married her brother, Osiris, and had a child with him,
Horus. Osiris was murdered and dismembered by Set, his brother. With the use of
magic, she restored his body to life after gathering the body parts that had
been scattered throughout the earth by Set.
Isis-Ancient Greek goddess
A.)Exodus 20:3
“You shall
have no other gods before me. (NIV)
ISIS wants their false god (Allah) to be
worshipped.
On her head is a throne
A.)Isaiah
14:13-14 You
said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens;
I will raise my throne above
the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost
heights of Mount Zaphon. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will
make myself like the Most High.” (NIV)
ISIS want to control the world and raise their
flag over the White House.
She is worshipped by Pagans
A.)1 Corinthians 12:2-3 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you
were influenced and led astray to mute idols. 3Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by
the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,”
except by the Holy Spirit.
ISIS does not worship the
true God because they are demonic and infiltrated
with paganism.
The mother of Horus (falcon-headed deity)
A.) Colossians
2:8-9 See
to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy,
which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this
world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity
lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He
is the head over every power and authority. (NIV)
Falcon- A daylight bird of prey with long pointed wings and
a notched beach, typically catching prey by diving on it from above. They have
thin tapered wings, which enables them to fly at high speed and to change
direction rapidly. They are known for their ruthlessness and their incredible
flying abilities.
ISIS--This god is honored because she does not do her dirty
work at night, but she does it in the open for all to see. She preys on the
weak. There are nearly 60 species. (Similar to ISIS, ISIL, Al Qaeda, and other
terrorist groups.) They will capture and
eat birds of their own size or smaller in mid-air. (ISIS will kill other
Muslims to get their agenda accomplished. The extremist Sunni Muslims have
killed Shiite Muslims in Iraq and Syria.) Their wings is the money that have
which allows them to fly and harm others. (ISIS is said to be funded by wealthy
donors, looting territories they’ve captured, taxes and the smuggling of oil,
kidnapping and human trafficking.) They are ruthless in that they will kill
men, women, children, and even themselves to promote their demonic agenda.
Protector of dead and goddess of children
Psalms 106:36-39 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods. They
shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they
sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood. They
defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted
themselves. (NIV)
Ezekiel 20:31 When you offer your gifts—the sacrifice of your children in the fire—you
continue to defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. Am I to let you
inquire of me, you Israelites? As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will not let you inquire of me. (NIV)
Exodus 1:15-16 The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, whose names
were Shiphrah and Puah, “When you are helping the Hebrew women during childbirth on
the delivery stool, if you see that the baby is a boy, kill him; but if it is a
girl, let her live.” (NIV)
ISIS
is shedding the blood of innocent children who are Christian. America is
shedding the blood of innocents through abortions. God is not pleased with
neither.
She
married her brother (committing incest)
Deuteronomy 27:22 “Cursed is anyone who sleeps
with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!” (NIV)
Leviticus 18:9-11 “ ‘Do not have sexual
relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s
daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere. “ ‘Do not
have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter;
that would dishonor you. “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with the daughter
of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.’ (NIV)
Her brother (husband) was murdered and dismembered
Matthew 14:6-11 On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias danced for the
guests and pleased Herod so much that he
promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. Prompted by
her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” The king was
distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he ordered that her
request be granted and had John beheaded in the prison. His head was
brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who carried it to her mother. (NIV)
Revelation 20:4 I saw thrones on which were
seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of
those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because
of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not
received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and
reigned with Christ a thousand years. (NIV)
4.) BREAK-- World Wide Prayer 02:03
Pastors (Churches) need to UNITE in PRAYER across
the World
Prayer is needed for the persecuted Saints of God and for the
ones who are carrying out these persecutions. It is not too late even for them.
They can still be saved if they turn their hearts over to God. Just as God
turned Saul’s life around, He can and will do the same thing for ISIS is they
truly come to repentance and turn from their wicked ways.
Acts 8:2-3 Godly men
buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. But Saul began
to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women
and put them in prison. (NIV)
Acts 9:1-7 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out
murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high
priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if
he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take
them as prisoners to Jerusalem. As he neared Damascus on his journey,
suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and
heard a voice say to him, “Saul,
Saul, why do you persecute me?” “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” he replied. “Now get up and go into the city, and you will
be told what you must do.” The
men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not
see anyone.
Matthew 18:18-20 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about
anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (NIV)
Acts 16:25-34 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to
God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was
such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At
once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. The
jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and
was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had
escaped. But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all
here!” The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before
Paul and Silas. 30He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I
do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe
in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” Then
they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his
house. At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their
wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized. The
jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled
with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole
household. (NIV)
Governments (Presidents) need to unite in God and
Prayer to fight this demonic FOE and not just with military might.
1.)
1
Chronicles 21:1
Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a
census of Israel. (NIV) (David seemed to have trusted in his
own numbers
than the God who gave him the might.)
2.)
Revelation 12:9
The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent
called
the devil, or Satan who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to
the earth, and his angels with him. (NIV)
3.) Judges
7:2,7 The Lord said to Gideon, “You
have too many men. I cannot
deliver Midian into their hands, or
Israel would boast against me, ‘My own
strength has saved me.’” The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred
men that lapped I will save you and give
the Midianites into your hands. Let
all the rest go home.” (NIV)
