Whenever wars take place, prince spirits get dislodged from their strongholds.
Principalities work through personalities.
When you have a Hitler in power, the strongest demons out there can work through him.
When Hitler is dead, and there is no one to work through, there is a dislodging of the principalities.
Years ago in Tibet, there were missionaries trying to work with Tibetan monks. One morning they got out of bed. And when they did, the Tibetan monks were just going ballistic, just going crazy. And the missionaries asked, "What happened?" What has happened is all of their big gods left and went to Germany. They even said it. "A thousand have left Tibet; they've gone to Germany." They said, "We don't know what you are talking about." They answered, "We don't either. We just know when we got up, they were gone." Now these gods were spirits, they were demons but they wouldn't call them that. But that's what they were. And it happened to be the day Hitler was elected to power in Germany.
So, what happens is the rising up of a wicked leader causes principalities to have more authority. You better hear what I am about to tell you. But when a Saddam Hussein...yeah well, let me talk about Saddam for a minute. When Saddam Hussein sat smoking his cigars while he sent his henchman out to rape women, while he sent his henchman out to murder people in cold blood and put them in a hole, while he sent his henchman to bomb the Kurds with mustard gas and kill 5,000 of them with weapons of mass destruction that he "didn't have"...when a Saddam Hussein is in power, principalities have a man that they can work through.
But, when a Bush shows up and says wickedness and evilness can no longer prevail, and moves a man out of position, there is a shaking up in the principalities and the powers. The principalities start running around saying, "Where is somebody in authority that we can work through?" And they can't find a big dog, so they gotta find a bunch of little dogs! That sent a bomb over here and a little dog that shoots a gun over there....
I'm trying to tell you something...that in a time when Daniel's empire took over that empire, there was a shake up of the principalities. And a Prince of Persia ran over Babylon and said there is a prophet and I'm going to disrupt what he's doing. And God said, "No, you are not; I'll not let you disrupt Daniel." And Daniel held on and prayed for 21 days. And when He did, the arch-angel showed up in 21 days and bound the Prince of Persia and said, "Now, my man is going to have what he needs to finish the job...."
Now, I am going to show you this quickly....
America is a protector, not an aggressor. And I get so tired of the liberals out there acting like we are some kind of mean punks on the block, pushing everybody around. I got news for you.
What would have happened if America had remained passive, like some people wanted us to be? What would have happened in World War I if we hadn't showed up? I'd like to tell you, Russia would be ruling the world. Or should I say Communism would be ruling the World now? Communism!
What would have happened if we had not showed up for World War II? Would you like for me to tell you? Adolph Hitler would be ruling the world, and every Jew by now would be dead, had we not showed up.
What would have happened if we had not showed up in Gulf War I, and said, "What ever will be will be. We don't like.... Peace, man, Peace...."? I'll tell you what peace would have been; Saddam would have gone into Kuwait. He would have gone into Saudi Arabia and you'd be paying 5 bucks a gallon for your oil, complaining about the president because he didn't do something about it.
What would have happened had we not gone in this time? Only God knows. There are things I know... I've told you this before. There are things I know from intelligence in Israel, in America, in different places, I will not tell on TV. When people tell me to keep my mouth shut, I know when to keep my mouth shut. But I'm telling you that we did the right thing by going in the time that we went in. History will one day tell you that we did the right thing.
I know politicians say, "Naw, naw." Journalists say, "Naw, naw, naw, naw." But, you gotta understand something. There are people out there that say you have to sit passively by and let evil people rule and let dictators take over and let terrorists invent their weapons, and que sera sera, whatever will be will be. But, I am telling you, America comes through, #1, to stop the spread of evil, and #2, we battle to stop the shedding of innocent blood of innocent men, women and children. And we've got an assignment in these last days to open up nations, so that they can hear the gospel, so that the poor can be fed and people can have freedom. And we've got an assignment – I'm going to say it – and we've got an assignment to shake up the principalities, to dislodge them from their comfort zone of control.
So, help me I feel the anointing of the Holy Ghost in this house. Oh, glory to God!
