The Curt Landry Podcast

In this first episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett discuss how to identify spiritual warfare in your life; how to discern perception from reality. In a world full of delusion, we need clarity and guidance from the Holy Spirit. Spiritual warfare needs to be named, called out, and on the other side is a breakthrough in your health, wealth, relationships and ability to follow God’s voice.

Rabbi Curt shares personal stories from his decades of experience in spiritual warfare, and daylights the perception vs. reality at play in the war in Israel. He also shares how you can help support the IDF during “Phase 8” of the Stand with Israel campaign, and offers wisdom for navigating these challenging times from a place of victory.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,960
Hey everyone, you're listening to the Curt Landry podcast where we're going to help you

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,760
discover your kingdom destiny.

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,840
My name is Darrell and sitting right beside me, it's his show, Rabbi Curt and Landry himself.

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:22,000
And in this episode, Rabbi, we're going to be breaking down spiritual warfare.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,120
But first, before we jump right in, how is things going for you?

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:32,120
Well Darrell, listen, I'm honored to be on the program here today to be able to share

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:39,760
with people what really I think that if I could really deposit one aspect of spiritual

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,200
life to people, it would be the spiritual warfare component.

9
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,560
Because to the degree that you understand how that works and be able to do it successfully

10
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:55,480
determines so much about your health, your wealth, your relationships, and most of all,

11
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,960
your ability to obey God.

12
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,920
So Rabbi, this is your first episode of your new podcast.

13
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,100
What's really the direction that you want the audience to kind of feel?

14
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:14,160
Because a lot of this stuff is really kind of jumping in to your extreme history of everything

15
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,440
that you've kind of done.

16
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,920
But where exactly do you really want to take it?

17
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:27,520
Basically what I want to do is really is about legacy, and you know, everybody has something

18
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,560
that is their favorite thing to do in life.

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,280
And I would say mine would be the impartation to unlock people's kingdom destiny.

20
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:44,400
If I can share something, and I've, listen, I've, Kristi and I've heard this before, where

21
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,080
we'll meet somebody, we haven't seen them in like two or three years.

22
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,040
It happened on this last trip to Israel.

23
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,800
And they'll say something like, well, you know what, you don't remember this.

24
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:59,680
You maybe don't even remember meeting me, but you said this and it changed my life.

25
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:08,720
And so I really kind of hope that this podcast would be relational in the way that we could

26
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:16,000
share things that would trigger spiritual change in people's lives, new ideas and concepts

27
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
to give them kind of the faith to be able to try new things, to be able to grow.

28
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
All right.

29
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
So let's start with this.

30
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,200
What is spiritual warfare?

31
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,760
I think the best explanation is Ephesians chapter six, where it says in 12, for we do

32
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:38,140
not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers

33
00:02:38,140 --> 00:02:44,900
of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness and heavenly places.

34
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:53,440
So as easy and clear as that is said, Paul speaking to the church at Ephesus, I think

35
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,960
people struggle with the fact.

36
00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:01,480
And you'll hear people say, well, you think there's a demon behind every bush.

37
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:07,400
But really, I want to try to back into this a little differently.

38
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,180
The spirit of how something operates.

39
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:13,780
Let's take the evil side out.

40
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:21,680
Just the collective spirit will determine the outcome.

41
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:22,680
I'll give you an example.

42
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,000
I was watching the NFL the week before last.

43
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,960
I was watching the Dallas Cowboys, a fantastic game.

44
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,560
They were playing in Dallas and they won, I think it was their 12th game that they had

45
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,720
won.

46
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,080
And then, so I'm walking, and I don't watch a lot of football, but I've been a little

47
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,860
bit under the weather, so I'm watching some television.

48
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:52,800
And so now I'm going to watch them play Buffalo.

49
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,800
And I'm going, man, this is going to be a great game.

50
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,280
Let's watch this happen.

51
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,760
Now I'm a behaviorist, okay?

52
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,600
My mother was an Olympic athlete.

53
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,600
I understand the whole mental concept of sports.

54
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,880
And so I'm looking at sports from a different level.

55
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,040
I can tell you the spiritual side.

56
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,600
The spiritual side of the Dallas Cowboys who showed up in Buffalo was not who played in

57
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,680
Dallas.

58
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,320
They were totally defeated.

59
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,140
They didn't have energy.

60
00:04:29,140 --> 00:04:33,200
They didn't have synergy.

61
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,000
And Buffalo just ran over them.

62
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,160
And the reason is because they were mentally defeated before the game even started.

63
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,300
Now I don't know what happened, but I could just tell by the way that they were running

64
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:54,040
off and on the field, the expression of the sideline and the coach, that it wasn't the

65
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,280
same team.

66
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:56,480
So that was a spirit.

67
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,680
So what happened is they lost the game.

68
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:05,240
They are still physically capable of playing the game as they were the week before, but

69
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:11,040
they were mentally and spiritually, they were not ready for Buffalo.

70
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,000
And you know, Buffalo is very physical, so they can apply a lot of physical pressure.

71
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,920
And that, you know, people getting hurt, people getting shamed and run over, and then that

72
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,880
defeatist attitude came upon them.

73
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,880
And they lost the game.

74
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,760
Now people would say, well, what do you mean spiritual warfare?

75
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,580
Spiritual warfare has a lot to do with attitude.

76
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:38,480
Because if your attitude is not positive, then what happens is you attract in the spirit

77
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:43,760
realm, you attract evil spirits like despair, hopelessness, doubt, unbelief.

78
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,800
All right, so let's walk it back a little bit.

79
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:55,920
So let's walk it back to when war in Israel was announced, right?

80
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,600
You popped on about 4 a.m. that morning, jumped in, really announced it to the Curtland Tree

81
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,000
Ministries Facebook and YouTube channel.

82
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,560
And let's sit from this perspective that what the perception of what was happening in Israel,

83
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,560
right?

84
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,780
And then let's now push about a month, month and a half forward.

85
00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:22,720
You went to Israel for around a week.

86
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:28,320
And what was the reality in the spiritual warfare that, hey, when you first announced

87
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,240
it, perception, right?

88
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,560
As time went on, Curtland Tree Ministries did a ton of stuff with Stand With Israel

89
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:42,440
to do numerous things for the IDF and the people of Israel.

90
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:48,560
But what was that perception versus reality on the spiritual warfare right now?

91
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,200
OK, so it's interesting you ask because you know that I went on the air, I think it was

92
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,520
about 3.30 on October the 7th.

93
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,440
So what happened, first of all, Sam gave me I get a call from from Israel and and the

94
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,880
call is pretty panicky.

95
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:12,840
And they said, listen, we need you to pray and you need to know we're under attack.

96
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:21,720
So for our guests, you know, 34 years experience, this last trip was our 49th trip to Israel

97
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,360
have worked with the IDF over 25 years.

98
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,100
So we're seasoned.

99
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:31,320
And actually what happened there, I don't know if you know this or not, but at 3.30

100
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:37,040
when it went up, Prime Minister Netanyahu did not declare war.

101
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,540
I was actually the one and I'm not taking credit, but the Lord told me as I'm going

102
00:07:42,540 --> 00:07:45,480
on the air, he said, you need to declare war.

103
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,040
This is a war.

104
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,400
And that's part of the training of spiritual warfare is that you have to know that you're

105
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,520
not being terrorized.

106
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,720
You're you're not being assaulted.

107
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,120
You're actually in a war.

108
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,360
And so what's happening in Israel in the south.

109
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,480
So you're looking at Storot, Ofakim, Kibbutz Kavar, Kibbutz, the different places in the

110
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,840
south.

111
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,800
They have been accustomed to and comfortable with rockets coming in and the Iron Dome knocking

112
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,100
the rockets down.

113
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:25,960
But this is the first time over three thousand militants actually came in with motorcycles

114
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:32,640
and trucks and cars and literally kites flying over the border and actually doing what I

115
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,860
would call more, not just an assault, but like a home invasion.

116
00:08:36,860 --> 00:08:40,860
They knew the Kibbutz that that they were attacking.

117
00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:45,200
They many of them work in the factories that are in the Kibbutz.

118
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,360
Many of them have had dinner in the homes of the people in these kibbutz.

119
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,600
So they knew where the layout of the homes were, the safe houses, the safe rooms in the

120
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,600
house.

121
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,760
They knew where everything was.

122
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:05,060
And so when when I was called and I put on went online and I saw them at this music festival

123
00:09:05,060 --> 00:09:11,420
literally chasing down people, shooting them, grabbing girls, putting them on motorcycles

124
00:09:11,420 --> 00:09:14,480
and taking them back into Gaza.

125
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:22,480
This is the first time in Israel's history where there's actually kidnapping, murder,

126
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,480
rape, pillaging, killing children.

127
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,640
Just the brutality was was most monstrous.

128
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:41,420
And so we knew that this was a war because the Hamas knows that there will be mass retaliation

129
00:09:41,420 --> 00:09:43,100
from from what they did.

130
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:47,400
And of course, there has been and we're not near done yet.

131
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:53,960
OK, so the perception on that, right?

132
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,440
Moving forward, boots on the ground.

133
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,320
What was the emotion?

134
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,760
And you know, can you describe senses, you know, like kind of what you felt with the

135
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:12,480
wind and the taste of the air and just like what's the reality of what you saw?

136
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:20,840
So first of all, at this point, Christie and I have lost 10 commanders, OK, that these

137
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:27,140
are men that we've worked with for, let's say, five, ten years.

138
00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:29,420
So we have relationship with them.

139
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:36,660
So first of all, you have to deal with the in war now.

140
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:37,920
And this is what the soldiers do.

141
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,400
But Christie and I are like kind of a part of it.

142
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,080
We have to process mentally the same way.

143
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,160
There's no time to mourn.

144
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,960
There's no time to grief.

145
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,120
You're in war.

146
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,220
You've got to make decisions.

147
00:10:50,220 --> 00:10:54,360
You have to have a reaction.

148
00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:02,120
And so so the first key, first of all, we went to the base, we went to the Gaza base,

149
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:07,080
the one that was overrun, and we interviewed the soldiers there.

150
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:14,360
We actually interviewed the young girl that that was responsible for the Intel failure

151
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,920
that that and how that happened.

152
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:18,920
They explained all that.

153
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,340
We can go into that later.

154
00:11:20,340 --> 00:11:23,840
But what you're asking is the feeling.

155
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,200
First of all, you're going through a neighborhood.

156
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,160
See this key puts is these are houses.

157
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,620
This is communal living.

158
00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:36,160
But it's basically like you if you're in America or something, it's like going into a neighborhood

159
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,760
and you're seeing houses, some houses not touched.

160
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,440
Excuse me.

161
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,400
And then others completely burnt out.

162
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,980
And you're seeing bullet ridden whole houses you're seeing.

163
00:11:50,980 --> 00:11:57,480
And when I say bullet ridden, I'm talking about a thousand 30 caliber bullet holes and

164
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,460
RPGs where they go in and there's about a two inch hole.

165
00:12:03,460 --> 00:12:07,240
And what it does is it goes into the house and when it gets into the house, you'll see

166
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:16,560
where it explodes on the inside wall of the house and then catches everything on fire.

167
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,880
And I didn't let Christie go in the houses, but I went in the houses.

168
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,840
So what you're seeing, first of all, there's places that are still smoking.

169
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,800
The smell of death, it's everywhere.

170
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:36,000
So your sensory base is getting just overrun.

171
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,680
And I mean, I literally went into a house where there was an oven that they put a child

172
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:49,040
in the oven and turn the oven on and killed the baby.

173
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:54,660
There's you know, literally, Christie and I went through deliverance when we came home

174
00:12:54,660 --> 00:12:58,480
with some friends for for trauma.

175
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,440
And actually, I got sick when I came home.

176
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:07,840
And the diagnosis of the sickness was that we saw and it wasn't just in the south, we

177
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,920
went everywhere.

178
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:16,340
But we saw so much death and we heard so many stories of death.

179
00:13:16,340 --> 00:13:21,960
And we went to go see the soldiers in the in the Shiva hospital there in Tel Aviv.

180
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,720
So you're you know, you're looking at people.

181
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,440
I'm interviewing a young man.

182
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,280
His right eye is shut out.

183
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,000
And then the back of the left side of his brain is gone.

184
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
So he's a bandage.

185
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,000
There's a big cave in.

186
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,680
He's going to have to have a plate in his head.

187
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,800
And yet he can still talk.

188
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,560
You're seeing people with bullet ridden.

189
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:54,280
Their legs are just where machine guns just you know, there's 10 or 15 penetrations.

190
00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:01,320
And when you see all that, they say the reason when I came home, I got so sick was they said

191
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:08,200
that when you experience that much trauma, then what happens is your immune system actually

192
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,960
shuts down from the trauma.

193
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,600
And they believe that's what happened to me.

194
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:19,520
So I just got, you know, like a severe flu and is in bed for several days and sick.

195
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,340
So this is the first time I've even come out since the meeting.

196
00:14:22,340 --> 00:14:28,120
It's been, it was about a two week time being down.

197
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:35,480
But one of the questions that I was asked, it's interesting because my friend John Smoltz,

198
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:41,600
you know, John called me and he asked, he says, I need to ask you a question, Rabbi.

199
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,800
He says, what's that?

200
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,240
He said, how do you deal with the anger?

201
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,840
And I never thought about it.

202
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:59,520
And I said to him, well, first of all, my assignment, my spiritual warfare assignment

203
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,280
on the Gaza border at these bases and the kibbutz's.

204
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,720
And it was the only day there was an extended day of a ceasefire.

205
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,940
So we were able to go.

206
00:15:09,940 --> 00:15:12,960
And so we're there, we're with heavily armed troops.

207
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:18,000
I mean, if you can imagine, we're walking around with our camera guy and we've got

208
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:27,460
soldiers all around us, heavily armed, literally watching the perimeter.

209
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:31,440
And I literally, I just, I felt like I didn't put on our bulletproof vests or a helmet or

210
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,440
anything.

211
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,840
I wasn't trying to add drama to this.

212
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,160
I wanted this to be real.

213
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,880
And I was talking to a gentleman that had lost his son.

214
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,400
And I didn't want to traumatize it more by him, me being there with a vest on and all

215
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,440
the stuff.

216
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,360
But what John asked me, he said, how do you deal with the anger?

217
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,920
I said, you really have to get to a spiritual warfare place.

218
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:11,040
And I said, what I did was I mentally took myself in my head to Jesus on the cross.

219
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:18,000
And I had to mentally think, look what they did to him.

220
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,680
He's sinless.

221
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,040
He did nothing.

222
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,040
It's like these people.

223
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:27,840
Now, listen, the people in the kibbutz aren't sinless, but they weren't attacking anyone.

224
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,400
They were having a peace festival.

225
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,680
It was the last day of Sukkot.

226
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:39,280
Literally, one of the houses I went to had a kite, a child's kite that was burned and

227
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,920
was on fire.

228
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:51,160
That child, I know his uncle Doran, and his uncle was telling me that they were flying

229
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,040
kites with the Palestinian kids that day.

230
00:16:54,040 --> 00:17:01,320
Literally, they were flying kites together as a sign of peace the day the attack came.

231
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,840
Such a betrayal in relationship.

232
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:12,000
So what I had to do is I had to go into the mind of the Lord, put myself, so to say, if

233
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,580
I was like Jesus, if I was on the cross, they had just plucked out my beard.

234
00:17:16,580 --> 00:17:19,680
They put 39 stripes on my back.

235
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,120
They're getting ready to drive.

236
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:22,680
They drove nails through my hands.

237
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,120
They pierced my side.

238
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:26,120
They spit.

239
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:27,120
They mocked me.

240
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:30,600
They put a sign above my head saying, here's the king of the Jews.

241
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,320
I have the ability to be angry.

242
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:42,240
I have the ability to call down all heaven's army, as Jesus did, and yet he chose to say

243
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,240
these words.

244
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,080
He says, Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.

245
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,080
So I had to go back.

246
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:55,280
I hope I'm not going too deep here, but what happened is my assignment on the Gaza border

247
00:17:55,280 --> 00:18:03,320
was to spiritually cleanse and reconcile so that the victory for the soldiers can come.

248
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,560
And the commanders and the soldiers all know that.

249
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:13,520
Everywhere we went, to the north, Kariot Shemona, the West Bank, everywhere we went, some of

250
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:19,320
the places, I can't tell you where we went, but every place that we went, they wanted

251
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,340
Christy and I there, and they all said, would you please pray?

252
00:18:23,340 --> 00:18:25,200
So here's the key about prayer.

253
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,520
And I told this to John Smoltz.

254
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:32,880
I said, John, I can't pray if I'm mad, if I'm angry, if I'm wanting to kill him.

255
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,000
Did I get angry?

256
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,360
Did I want to do it?

257
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:36,360
Yes.

258
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:41,080
Your first man, human instinct is to go to one of the soldiers and say, give me your

259
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,080
gun.

260
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,560
I'm going to go find them and shoot them.

261
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:49,440
I mean, you're just, it's the innocence to the children.

262
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,320
It's like, whoa.

263
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,880
But you, but what's your assignment?

264
00:18:53,880 --> 00:19:03,400
Your assignment is to repent, cleanse the land so that when the soldiers come in who

265
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,480
are depending on us, can get a spiritual victory.

266
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,520
It's called intercessory prayer warfare.

267
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:15,360
So I told John that and his response to me says that's interesting because he played

268
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:19,200
in the first game in New York after 9-11.

269
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,440
And for the people that don't know John, he's a pitcher, a Hall of Fame pitcher for the

270
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,640
Braves.

271
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:35,320
And he said, I can totally relate to Rabbi because all of my team went to ground zero.

272
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,560
They took them to ground zero and then they played the game.

273
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:44,860
And the reason they chose to play the game was to try to bring some community, healthy

274
00:19:44,860 --> 00:19:49,840
normalcy after 9-11 to the New Yorkers.

275
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:57,240
And so, but John said, he said, he said the only player he said I couldn't go because

276
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,360
he said, I knew if I went, I would get so angry.

277
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:06,920
I wouldn't be able to focus on my game and I couldn't play the game.

278
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,440
And I said, well, that's what happened to me.

279
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:16,720
I had to choose not to battle against flesh and blood, but the powers and principalities

280
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,600
and the heavenly host dark places.

281
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:24,000
And Darrell, I'll tell you, I've been all over the world.

282
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,580
I've seen a lot of bad stuff.

283
00:20:29,580 --> 00:20:40,520
But the experience Christie and I had of the demonic behavior of demons is at a whole

284
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:47,400
other level because of what you saw us and smelled and was testified of.

285
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:53,080
So when Jesus says these words like that Satan has come to kill, steal and destroy and I've

286
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,820
come to give life, that takes on a whole other meaning for me.

287
00:20:57,820 --> 00:20:58,820
It's different now.

288
00:20:58,820 --> 00:20:59,820
Yeah.

289
00:20:59,820 --> 00:21:00,820
And I'm not a naive person.

290
00:21:00,820 --> 00:21:05,880
I mean, I was raised in Los Angeles during the Watts riots in the sixties.

291
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,200
I came out of a neighborhood where I've seen people shot and killed, you know, before I

292
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,200
was 18.

293
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:16,360
So, I mean, it's not like I wasn't raised like my, my wife and McCallister where she

294
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:18,360
didn't see hardly any violence.

295
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:27,100
I was raised around violent activity, but I never not like this.

296
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:28,600
This isn't even war.

297
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:34,440
This is brutality.

298
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:41,440
I was interviewing Doron Amag, the president of the Jewish Agency, my friend who lost his

299
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480
some of his family down in Kibbutz Kivar.

300
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,360
And he said, he said, they're not animals, Kurt.

301
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:56,040
He said animals only kill for food or they're mating or competing, but they don't just randomly

302
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,120
kill.

303
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:00,920
And he said, he said, these are monsters.

304
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:07,120
And that's what I, that's what basically we observed as a monstrous act.

305
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:12,820
But we have to understand that we have the power that we are truly more than conquerors

306
00:22:12,820 --> 00:22:13,820
through Christ Jesus.

307
00:22:13,820 --> 00:22:20,920
You know, last year I had a prophetic word in 2023 early that, and I think I did 10 weeks

308
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,400
of teaching on spiritual warfare.

309
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,960
And I really think that the preparation time of spiritual warfare, emotional healing, the

310
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:36,760
things that I was teaching really helped us for the preparation of being able to operate

311
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,780
successfully on this trip.

312
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:43,880
Because not only did we have to go and see all this, but we had to get in and out of

313
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,200
it safely without getting killed.

314
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,160
And so we went to the south, they extended the ceasefire.

315
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,440
We prayed before we went in, our team prayed.

316
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,120
The next day, ceasefire stopped.

317
00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:04,280
The very place we were at received three rockets.

318
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,280
So and then we went to the north up to Kariot Shemona.

319
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,720
We were there and 45 minutes after we left, three rockets came in.

320
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,560
So there's, there's real practical application to spiritual warfare to know how to shut things

321
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:23,200
down so that you spiritually can get in and out of dangerous situations safely.

322
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,940
And we'll be right back.

323
00:23:24,940 --> 00:23:27,360
It's a new year and a new you.

324
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:34,560
Have you ever wondered how to stay consistent with growing spiritually, but also winning

325
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,160
and achieving your goals you have for yourself this year?

That's curtlandry.com forward slash grow 2024.

329
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,440
I'll help answer questions like where do I start?

330
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,600
How do I walk in the spirit?

331
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,360
Or how do I do spiritual warfare?

332
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:08,720
Or how do I believe that I'm more than a conqueror?

333
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:16,000
Meaning that Matthew 633 positions us for success in this year ahead.

334
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,600
That's Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things will

335
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,200
be added on to us.

336
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,560
The fruit of the spirit is evident in his covenant.

337
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Know this, that if you can establish his covenant in your heart and in your mind, you will be

338
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,480
successful this coming year.

There are some projects that really touch your heart and this is interesting because

342
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:02,160
our son-in-law Paul Marcelino, his dad, Yocana Marcelino, helped to produce this book and

343
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:11,520
the whole purpose of this book, Jerusalem Rising, is to be able to bring visual evidence

344
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:18,440
that Jerusalem and Israel actually belongs to the children of the God of Abraham, Isaac

345
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,840
and Jacob.

346
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:26,080
That this is the land of Isaac and the miracle power.

347
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:32,640
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and this book captures that.

All right, now back to the show.

355
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,480
So I guess the next thought is, do you have an urge to go back?

356
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,720
I mean, you know, I'm talking like in the next couple of weeks.

357
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:22,840
I mean, it's something that you explain, hey, like you were telling me, I think about a

358
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,940
week ago, you've really only been sick like four times in your life that you can really

359
00:26:27,940 --> 00:26:31,240
remember being sick sick.

360
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:37,840
And you come back, right, and you're battling all this stuff and you get sick.

361
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:45,360
And so reflecting off what that perception versus reality, because you experienced it

362
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:50,760
and you were sick, and now you're starting to kind of come over the edge a little bit.

363
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:56,640
Is there an urge to get back like, I mean, even if you don't do it, but like the inner

364
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,200
inside of you of what you experience in relationships and the people that you know, do you have

365
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,960
an urge just to hop back on a plane and get back out there?

366
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:12,880
Well, first of all, it's just like in a podcast mentoring way, okay.

367
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,680
The first night of Hanukkah when we got, we just got back.

368
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,880
And in fact, I think you mentioned it.

369
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,400
I don't think you realized or anybody, but I was running a fever.

370
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,000
I was extremely ill that night.

371
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:33,400
I mean, I'm looking down at my notes and the letters are blurring and moving.

372
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,960
That's pretty impressive because you delivered it.

373
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:36,960
Yeah.

374
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,720
And the reason, see, that's part of the spiritual warfare is I made a commitment to the Lord.

375
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,680
I would never let Satan control my schedule.

376
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:52,320
I can tell you in 34 years and thousands of times speaking, maybe tens of thousands, I

377
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:59,640
don't know, I've never missed a service because I was sick.

378
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,680
Have I been sick in services?

379
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,800
Oh, absolutely.

380
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,800
And that was one of them.

381
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:09,760
I mean, I was really, that's why I just, everyone wanted to love on us because of what

382
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,600
we were doing, but Christie was not feeling well either.

383
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,940
So we had to go to the green room and we left.

384
00:28:14,940 --> 00:28:19,560
So then we come back a week later and we're bringing the rewards of Hanukkah and I'm

385
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,760
still sick.

386
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,460
So here's the key is what did I learn from that?

387
00:28:28,460 --> 00:28:29,460
Are we going to go back?

388
00:28:29,460 --> 00:28:30,840
Yes, we're going back.

389
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,240
They want us to come back.

390
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,680
But this trip was kind of, there was twofold.

391
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,800
Number one is the comfort.

392
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,800
Scripture says, comfort ye, comfort my people.

393
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:54,000
I lost count of how many of my tough special forces guys literally wept when they saw us

394
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,240
walk in the door.

395
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,080
That's not like them, not like me.

396
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,520
But we knew we were at Israel's 9-11.

397
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:11,800
We knew that Israel was never going back to be the same again, that what happened has

398
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,360
changed the nation and the region and the world forever.

399
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,620
And it was unspoken.

400
00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:26,440
So just the embrace and the hugs and being there, it was a comfort trip.

401
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:32,200
The warfare side of it was the Lord allowed us to go to every strategic high place that

402
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:39,600
we needed to go to and do the spiritual warfare by praying, decreeing, pulling down the strongholds,

403
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,760
canceling assignments of the enemy.

404
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,720
So we were able to do that.

405
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,680
But that was done in a very private way.

406
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:53,520
But the next time we go back, what will happen is the next layer of warfare will be to speak

407
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:58,760
words of knowledge, to speak prophetic words.

408
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:04,460
You know, the trip you were on with us, we went in and we had prophetic words for the

409
00:30:04,460 --> 00:30:11,040
mayor of Jerusalem and the minister of defense, Yoav Galant.

410
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,400
And those words that I spoke to them have happened.

411
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,680
And a lot of it was warning them about this war to come.

412
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:21,360
So this next visit, you're asking, yes, there will be a next visit.

413
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,200
I don't know when.

414
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,440
But I can tell you this.

415
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,080
And this is spiritual warfare.

416
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:37,360
I will, the vitamins and the rest, I will definitely increase all of my vitamins and

417
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,360
my rest.

418
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:43,560
We left very tired and very fatigued at the end of the year.

419
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,640
And so, and you know, we just squeezed this, we felt like we had to be there at this, another

420
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,380
spiritual warfare principle.

421
00:30:50,380 --> 00:30:53,640
The Lord said, you got to go from this day to that day.

422
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,360
And it was perfect because every place we went, we couldn't have gone if we were a day

423
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,600
late.

424
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:06,360
But one of the keys is, is that this next trip, we're going to, you know, we belong

425
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,680
to salt health.

426
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,960
And so we'll go and get vitamin injections.

427
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,440
We'll be rested.

428
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,600
Spiritually, we'll take our game up to a higher level.

429
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,600
What does that mean?

430
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:22,800
We'll spend more time meditating on doors open and weak places in our life.

431
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,720
And we'll just take it to another level so we can get in and out.

432
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,360
Like I say, it's our 49th trip.

433
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,280
I've only been sick on one other trip there.

434
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,240
And that was my first trip there back in 91.

435
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,440
So, but anyway, that's what we'll do.

436
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,960
We'll just, we'll take it up.

437
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,840
And do we want to go back?

438
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,840
Absolutely.

439
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:49,120
We, this, this, this war, I don't think people understand.

440
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:53,760
This spirit, spiritual warfare, is not really even about Israel.

441
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,760
This isn't really even about Hamas and Hezbollah.

442
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:02,900
What this is, is this is about an evil Persian ancient spirit that is literally marching

443
00:32:02,900 --> 00:32:06,800
in the universities in the Ivy League in the United States and other places.

444
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:12,520
So, so we're going to have to learn how to overcome this spirit spiritually with the

445
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,060
proper strategies.

446
00:32:14,060 --> 00:32:18,760
And the Lord's given me some prophetic words I'll be releasing in the first quarter of

447
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,480
this year in regards to how to overcome that.

448
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,640
And for the listeners listening, if you want to know more about how you can help Israel,

449
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,960
you can Stand With Israel.

450
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:36,680
You just go over to our website, visit curtlandry.com forward slash stand with Israel.

451
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Again, it's curtlandry.com.

452
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,200
Stand With Israel.

453
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,280
You hit the forward slash on that.

454
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,560
Tons of great individual ask.

455
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,000
Rabbi, you know, it does a really good job on this landing page.

456
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,680
There's a lot of content, a lot of videos that you can watch.

457
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:58,360
But you know, I think our team's doing a really good job to break it down and say like, here's

458
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,400
where these phases are, and here's where these ask are.

459
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,920
Well, let's talk about that.

460
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:14,360
So, when the war starts that night, you know, that morning, I announced that Israel's at

461
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:18,080
war.

462
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:23,240
And I'm being obedient to God, but I'm also waiting because I knew I did this and that

463
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,600
Prime Minister Netanyahu hadn't done it yet.

464
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,700
And I do know that they watch me and listen to what I say.

465
00:33:31,700 --> 00:33:36,660
So I'm waiting like, oh my gosh, I told Christie, it's like six in the morning and I'm saying

466
00:33:36,660 --> 00:33:41,520
I'm waiting on my phone to ring going, Lord, who are you to say where it's war?

467
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,880
It's the prime minister's job, not yours.

468
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,260
But anyway, it didn't happen.

469
00:33:46,260 --> 00:33:50,760
And it turned out later that day that Bibi did announce it.

470
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,480
So the first thing is like, okay, what's the main need?

471
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,720
And the main need were the bulletproof vest and the helmets.

472
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,360
Now you have to understand the full-time army has all these things, but the reserves, they

473
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,960
called up initially, it was like, I think they started out with two, don't quote me,

474
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,280
but it was like 250,000 guys and gals they call up.

475
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,240
And eventually it got up over 350.

476
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:18,320
But these are just regular people.

477
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:24,600
These are your barber, the accountant, the nurse, the school teacher, I mean, the banker.

478
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,920
And they're coming back in in the reserves.

479
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:32,520
And so some of them don't even have proper uniforms or boots and they don't have bulletproof

480
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,520
vests.

481
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:38,960
So the first phase, we got bulletproof vests, and then we got bulletproof helmets because

482
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,680
they were just getting the traditional helmets.

483
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,320
And these things have already, we know have saved life.

484
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:51,400
And then we got them boots because, you know, you got to be able to keep your footing and

485
00:34:51,400 --> 00:35:00,520
gloves and uniforms and flashlights and power packs to store, to charge their phones.

486
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,780
It turns out when they went into the medical supplies, the bandages that are the ones to

487
00:35:05,780 --> 00:35:14,380
use to coagulate and stop bleeding from blunt trauma, they're outdated.

488
00:35:14,380 --> 00:35:18,940
So we went and bought these bandages that are really expensive.

489
00:35:18,940 --> 00:35:21,400
So we supplied the medics.

490
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,440
I mean, it just goes on and on.

491
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:29,040
But here's where we're at right now and what I want to speak to our podcast audience about

492
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:34,240
morning, is that when we were in the South, you would see one kibbutz and it was all burned

493
00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:38,040
out and fired and the next one was fine and kind of random.

494
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:43,400
And so when I asked my friend that was taking us through there as a Mossad agent, he said

495
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:50,760
this kibbutz had security, meaning not just police and the soldiers, but the actual people

496
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:57,720
that live there were armed, bulletproof vest, helmets, flash, you know, the lights on the

497
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:00,400
helmet, nightlights, all this stuff.

498
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,560
They had everything they need and to defend.

499
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,840
And so what happens is when Hamas came in and these terrorists came in, militants, they

500
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,240
left those alone because they didn't want to be shot back at and killed.

501
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:15,440
They went to where there was no protection.

502
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:20,480
And so when I saw that, in fact, I was coming back from the South, I got a phone call from

503
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:29,600
the mayor and he were here when I interviewed him as Benny Kassara from Ma'el Domeim.

504
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,840
He's been the mayor for 35 years there.

505
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,800
Well, he's in a very vulnerable spot.

506
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,320
If you've been to Israel, you come down, you're going down to Jericho.

507
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:42,920
It's the first big neighborhood village that's on the right side, on the south side of the

508
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:47,320
highway and across the other side is Ramallah, where the checkpoint is.

509
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,720
And so Palestinians are coming in doing home invasions there.

510
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:54,880
He said, we need to equip 36 soldiers.

511
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,880
He called me.

512
00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:02,560
He says, we have 36 retired special forces guys and regular soldiers and we need all

513
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:03,560
the equipment.

514
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:09,480
He said, we need $3,000 a guy to equip them and we need it tomorrow.

515
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:15,960
So I'm there and I just said, we're going to do it, Benny, because after seeing this

516
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:23,760
and then being and working at Ma'el Domeim for all these years, I knew the vulnerability.

517
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,080
So that's what we're doing.

518
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:32,840
So you can literally sow seed providing bulletproof helmets, gloves, uniforms, flashlights, walkie

519
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,680
talkies.

520
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:40,640
And the other thing we've done is there's 36 safe houses from bombs in Ma'el Domeim.

521
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:46,800
We redid all of them and we put water and plumbing in so they can use the restroom and

522
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,840
get water.

523
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:49,840
This was not an issue.

524
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:55,400
The last time they used safe houses in Ma'el Domeim was in 67, Six Day War.

525
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:01,340
So that's a real practical thing that I think the prevention of it.

526
00:38:01,340 --> 00:38:05,960
And of course, they brought in the news when we were there and the news channels were running

527
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:07,680
and filming it.

528
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:15,840
So everyone knows that they're armed and prepared for what's coming.

529
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,080
And so far they haven't had an attack of that.

530
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:23,640
So I think it's amazing to me and I just really am impressed with the Curt Landry ministry

531
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:30,880
supporters that you have the foresight and the heart to be able to understand one of

532
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:37,040
the biggest spiritual warfare principles is preparation is the key to victory.

533
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:43,280
And that's CurtLandry.com forward slash Stan with Israel to find out more and about how

534
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,280
you can help.

535
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:45,280
All right.

536
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:47,880
So Rabbi, we're getting towards the end of this episode.

537
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:53,440
Let's just get practical for the listeners here because we've jumped in and really broke

538
00:38:53,440 --> 00:39:02,920
down a lot of practical and relational stories and things that especially has happened recently

539
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,520
in regards to spiritual warfare.

540
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:10,360
And so I want to get to a couple of things that I'm just going to fire at you and I want

541
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,960
you to kind of lead people through.

542
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:21,840
The first area is how do you actually recognize spiritual warfare and or put it this way,

543
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,360
how do you recognize if you're actually going through it?

544
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,200
First of all, you have to look at the symptoms.

545
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:37,440
One of the biggest free download blogs that we've ever had is the one I did on how do

546
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,720
you identify a Jezebel spirit?

547
00:39:40,720 --> 00:39:47,520
And I can't remember how many symptoms it but so I just basically put a list of the

548
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:52,140
symptoms in there and I would recommend that they go.

549
00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:53,140
We don't have it.

550
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:54,140
We're not prepared with the.

551
00:39:54,140 --> 00:39:57,800
We'll throw it in the show notes in the description of this episode.

552
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:04,040
But definitely listen, that's a great learning because what you can do is saying, am I being

553
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:10,760
influenced by this in this case, a Jezebelic witchcraft spirit and then go down the symptoms

554
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,600
of that.

555
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:23,200
But in a real practical way, when you start having what we call in our family little foxes,

556
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:31,600
when you have too many things that are constantly going wrong, there's a pretty good chance

557
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:41,760
that you have some kind of a demonic spirit tormenting you and you know, you're dropping

558
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:47,800
things, you're breaking things.

559
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,720
Small things happen and you emotionally just overreact.

560
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:54,200
You can't even understand like, why did I get so mad about this?

561
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,320
I mean, I'm like flipping out.

562
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,880
It's like nothing.

563
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:03,680
When those type of things happening happen, most likely you're being attacked or you've

564
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:11,280
picked up what I call a trailer or you've got a trailing spirit and or you're having

565
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,680
oppression.

566
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,800
You're having bizarre sexual thoughts.

567
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:17,800
OK.

568
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:23,880
Every human being has a certain amount of sexual thoughts and that are kind of more

569
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,320
normal for the person.

570
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,200
But when you start having like weird perverted sexual thoughts, more than likely you've

571
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,760
picked up an unclean spirit somewhere.

572
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,520
And those things need to just be cut off.

573
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,600
Financially, you're getting drained.

574
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:46,060
I mean, it's like, oh my gosh, the refrigerator goes out, the ice maker goes out.

575
00:41:46,060 --> 00:41:50,760
You have a flat tire on the car and you weren't able to and you got to go take and get the

576
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:51,760
tire plugged.

577
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,160
I mean, it's like it's not the end of the world.

578
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,760
But when you start seeing these things come one, two, three, four or five, you're under

579
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,120
a spiritual attack.

580
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,680
And what you have to do is you have to cancel those attacks.

581
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,400
OK, so that leads me to this.

582
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:13,760
What do you actually do right from a spiritual but what's the physical sense in it as well?

583
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,800
Because physical action has to occur.

584
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,160
How do you actually defeat it?

585
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,560
So like now that I know, right?

586
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:25,420
So like say they take a resource on this and watch one of those Shabbat's that you really

587
00:42:25,420 --> 00:42:28,020
kind of break it down, right?

588
00:42:28,020 --> 00:42:29,020
What do they do?

589
00:42:29,020 --> 00:42:30,880
How do they defeat it?

590
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:38,200
Well, first of all, we have a workbook on spiritual warfare and I think it's 10 chapters.

591
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:44,000
I would go through that and also we have 10 classes.

592
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,960
I would go through 12 victory in spiritual warfare.

593
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,120
It's actually a playlist.

594
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:53,680
If you look up Curt Landry Ministries YouTube, you just go to playlists.

595
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:54,680
There's 12 of them.

596
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,760
OK, well, what I would do is I'd get a partner or a small group and I just watch it and then

597
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,400
go through the workbook.

598
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,760
And that's where I go.

599
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:08,520
Yeah, it's not, there's no quick fix for spiritual warfare.

600
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:19,640
I mean, you know, your authority that you have needs to be recognized in heaven.

601
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:25,200
You know, in the book of Acts, there were people casting out demons and so the demon

602
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,480
came and just beat up and trashed the person.

603
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,240
And the demon said to the person that was trying to cast out in Jesus' name, he says,

604
00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:35,120
All I know, Jesus, I know, he says, Who are you?

605
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:43,280
So there's a certain amount of spiritual warfare lifestyle so that the enemy knows

606
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,120
like who you are.

607
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:53,960
OK, so like, for instance, when we came back from the trip, we knew, Christie, I knew we

608
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,180
took a hit.

609
00:43:55,180 --> 00:43:59,280
First of all, it's not, we've been doing this a long time.

610
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:09,080
I knew for us, you know, at almost 70 years old, we're doing a long international trip.

611
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,240
No rest in and out.

612
00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:12,880
Didn't sleep when we were there.

613
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:13,880
You've been with us.

614
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:14,880
You know what it's like.

615
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,520
I mean, eight o'clock in the morning, you hit it.

616
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,280
We're back in the hotel at midnight.

617
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,480
So every day and it's a work trip.

618
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:23,480
It's a work trip.

619
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:26,480
There's no everyone always says, oh, 100%.

620
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:27,480
So glad.

621
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,920
The hotel we stayed at had a pool, an indoor pool.

622
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,720
And they said, oh, could it be so great?

623
00:44:31,720 --> 00:44:32,720
You can swim.

624
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:33,720
We know you love to swim.

625
00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:34,720
And saying, yeah, really.

626
00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:36,560
I never even went and looked at it.

627
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:42,600
It's kind of funny how people ask me my first experience going to Israel on my trip.

628
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,280
I think I was out there eight, nine days.

629
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:50,400
And I said, guys, like, I don't think you understand that just not in general of these

630
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:55,540
types of film trips, but like I experienced it through a lens.

631
00:44:55,540 --> 00:45:01,800
And we were working 12 to 14 hour days and I'll send in footage and photos back at 1,

632
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,400
2 a.m. because I had to try to get it back.

633
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:09,400
So then we're able to share the content with everybody that's donating towards these certain

634
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:10,400
projects.

635
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,200
So it's it's a work trip.

636
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,200
Yeah.

637
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,560
So so anyway, we knew we were going to take a hit.

638
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:24,120
But when we got back, what happened is we have other friends that are leaders and travel

639
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,120
internationally.

640
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:30,360
You know, they go to Africa, they go to Korea, they go different places.

641
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:31,360
OK.

642
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:37,480
And so we, you know, we called them so they understand like they're seasoned.

643
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:46,480
They've been in ministry 30, 40 years like us and we're friends, but they have authority.

644
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,240
They're known in heaven.

645
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:49,240
OK.

646
00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:51,280
And and we're known in heaven.

647
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:56,040
But it wasn't enough just for Christie and I to be on the couch sitting there wiped out.

648
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,200
So we called our friends and they prayed, prayed with us.

649
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,400
We also have a prayer team that prays with us.

650
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,520
That's been with us for 14 years.

651
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:04,520
Intercessors.

652
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:09,320
We have intercessors in House of David that are very seasoned.

653
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:14,800
So so I didn't put it out like on social media, like, OK, we took a hit.

654
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,960
We're sick, you know, because that's just fueling the enemies.

655
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:19,960
We're past it now.

656
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,680
That's why I'm even discussing it.

657
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:27,240
But what happens is we already had those people in place before we prayed and before we went.

658
00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:31,680
But we also knew, Darrell, when we went that it's really kind of unreasonable to think

659
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:37,600
you're going to go into that level of demonic activity without taking some hits.

660
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,420
And I mean, that's like to me, maybe.

661
00:46:40,420 --> 00:46:41,420
But like, you know what?

662
00:46:41,420 --> 00:46:42,420
We're just people.

663
00:46:42,420 --> 00:46:45,040
We're not superheroes.

664
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,520
I think that's a really good point.

665
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:51,400
Well, Rabbi, I think it's going to wrap up this episode for questions.

666
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,320
I mean, obviously, it's it's the first Curt Landry podcast.

667
00:46:55,320 --> 00:47:01,800
It's a show that I've been trying to get you to do since I got here almost two years ago.

668
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:07,520
Do you feel like this type of format is is good to kind of open up conversation like

669
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:08,840
this?

670
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:09,840
It's good for me.

671
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:15,040
My question is for the audiences, if it's good for them.

672
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:21,440
I know I get a lot of requests from people and I understand it.

673
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,920
And they just said, oh, I just if I could just talk to you, you know, for 10 minutes

674
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:27,640
or whatever.

675
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:32,480
And and and I really don't think people.

676
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:39,360
I don't think people understand because of the international nature of what we do, that

677
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:46,280
we seriously we work from about eight in the morning till midnight, one, two in the morning,

678
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:51,120
because if I'm going to work with Israel, it's from 12 to three in the morning.

679
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:57,560
And so I don't think people realize that there's very few.

680
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:01,460
They don't understand, like, the amount of hours.

681
00:48:01,460 --> 00:48:08,480
So I really don't have time to, like, sit down with somebody and just hang out and visit.

682
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,180
And that's what I like about this is that that's what we're doing.

683
00:48:11,180 --> 00:48:15,600
We're hanging out and visiting and being pretty transparent and personal.

684
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,480
I have no trouble with that.

685
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,600
I want I would you know, I want people to learn from our mistakes so that our ceiling

686
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,560
becomes their floor, but also our victories.

687
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,180
They can learn from that and not have to reinvent the wheel.

688
00:48:27,180 --> 00:48:30,640
So I like the format, but I'd like to hear from the people if they like it.

689
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:36,960
I mean, it's up to you know, this is easy for me because there's no preparation.

690
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,520
I mean, this is this is like who we are.

691
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,720
This is what we do.

692
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:46,560
We're a work in progress.

693
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:53,600
And we have a saying in our house, people say, oh, it's not theologically correct.

694
00:48:53,600 --> 00:49:01,160
And I don't know if it is or not, but people I always say higher levels, higher devils.

695
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:07,200
And what happens is it's higher levels of responsibility brings a higher attack, a higher

696
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:08,200
level of principality.

697
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:13,120
Now, I don't know if that's scriptural or not, but I can tell you with 34 years of doing

698
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,560
this, that's how it works.

699
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:21,400
So whether anybody some theologian says, well, that's not correct.

700
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:29,240
If you lived my life, you would know that if you're going into a nation and you're

701
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:34,500
meeting with the minister of defense and the prime minister and the tops and you have the

702
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:39,440
honor to speak into their life, the attack on the enemy is a lot more than you going

703
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:45,880
in and speaking in church because what you're doing is going to shift that nation and it's

704
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,760
going to start fulfilling and activating Bible prophecy.

705
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,720
So there's just a different level of responsibility.

706
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:59,720
So anyway, I understand that and where we come from is we have no intention of quitting.

707
00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:07,520
We've had a CLM board meeting here last week and there was kind of a slow down plan that

708
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,200
everybody had at this age.

709
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:16,640
And I told them, I said, now you realize after this trip, we're burning the slow down plan.

710
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:23,940
And because the experience that we have and the testimony and the favor we have to get

711
00:50:23,940 --> 00:50:28,240
with people, I can't like delegate that out.

712
00:50:28,240 --> 00:50:34,100
I mean, the people I meet with meet with me in Israel because they've met with me for

713
00:50:34,100 --> 00:50:37,320
20 years and there's trust.

714
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,680
And so, you know, and Israel needs us right now and the Lord needs us.

715
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,000
So I guess we're not slowing down.

716
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,320
Well, that's going to wrap it up for this.

717
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,320
We actually do have an email set up.

718
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,600

Yep, thank you so much, Shalom.
