In this teaching, Pastor Brandon examines what it means to “sell yourself to do evil” (1 Kings 21) and the serious implications of this contractual, covenantal language. From Ahab and Jezebel’s idolatry to modern-day occult practices, he shows how selling oneself to sin is a transactional surrender to demonic authority—but also how God provides a way back through repentance and restoration.

You’ll also hear insights into: ✅ How Jezebel introduced false gods into Israel ✅ Why Ahab’s weakness allowed the Jezebel spirit to thrive ✅ The biblical truth behind “selling your soul” and demonic covenants ✅ Why no covenant with the occult is permanent—freedom is always possible through Christ ✅ The Hebraism of God “removing His face” and the danger of being out of fellowship ✅ The seriousness of sin, repentance, and walking in covenant blessing ✅ The true meaning of being strong in the Lord—not fleshly strength, but strength in His promises

The call is clear: Don’t be deceived by false power or worldly gain. The enemy may offer fame, wealth, or seduction, but it always comes at a price of destruction. True blessing is found in fellowship with God and in ministering to others through the strength He provides.

In this powerful message, Pastor Brandon takes us deep into the meaning and prophetic significance of Deuteronomy 8:3, where we’re reminded that "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD."

Through the lens of Israel’s wilderness experience, Pastor Brandon uncovers a timely principle: freedom without spiritual dependence leads to disaster. This message connects ancient Israel’s rebellion with the modern trends of government dependency, AI automation, and spiritual apathy in the Laodicean church age.

He also explores the sobering doctrine of excommunication, walking through 1 Corinthians 5 and Romans 11:22, and highlights why many believers fail to thrive spiritually—they prioritize the physical over the spiritual.

📖 Topics Covered:

• The real meaning of “Man shall not live by bread alone”

• Why Israel wanted slavery over freedom

• AI, laziness, and the sin nature

• What excommunication is and why it matters

• How modern believers mirror Laodicea

• The severe consequences of prioritizing the physical over the spiritual

• Jesus as the true Bread of Life and fulfillment of Israel’s failure
