00:00:30.61\00:00:36.88
Good evening,
friends, welcome back
00:00:36.89\00:00:38.64
to an "Amazing Adventure, A
Journey for Life with Jesus.
00:00:38.65\00:00:42.42
This is a live
Bible series just for kids
00:00:42.43\00:00:46.24
and wherever you might
be, across the country,
00:00:46.25\00:00:48.82
or around the world,
00:00:48.83\00:00:50.26
we hope that you
will take your seat
00:00:50.27\00:00:51.79
and get your Bible in
hand as we look at God's word
00:00:51.80\00:00:56.11
and launch off another
very important adventure.
00:00:56.12\00:00:59.53
I'd like to welcome
all of our children here
00:00:59.54\00:01:01.38
at our local site in
the Dallas area in Taxes.
00:01:01.39\00:01:04.70
We believe in the
power of prayer, don't we?
00:01:04.71\00:01:07.83
Last night we announced
00:01:07.84\00:01:09.42
the coming of a
hurricane for those of you
00:01:09.43\00:01:11.37
who are watching, Hurricane
Ike was brewing in the Gulf,
00:01:11.38\00:01:15.37
yesterday evening last night.
00:01:15.38\00:01:17.96
It came ashore and the Dallas
00:01:17.97\00:01:20.62
was sort of in the
path of this hurricane,
00:01:20.63\00:01:22.91
but we've been praying
that the Lord would bless
00:01:22.92\00:01:25.39
and God has moved
the hurricane over
00:01:25.40\00:01:28.17
so that we just
getting a little bit of rain
00:01:28.18\00:01:30.59
and not too much wind.
00:01:30.63\00:01:31.91
So, God answers prayer.
00:01:31.92\00:01:33.20
He can still control the weather
00:01:33.21\00:01:36.04
and that's the good news.
00:01:36.05\00:01:37.02
We want to thank all of
those who have been watching,
00:01:37.03\00:01:38.77
for your prayers as well.
00:01:38.78\00:01:40.45
We hope that everything
will go well this evening,
00:01:40.46\00:01:42.57
but if there are
some technical challenges,
00:01:42.58\00:01:45.10
you know why.
00:01:45.11\00:01:46.33
But we thank God that
we have a signal right now
00:01:46.34\00:01:48.73
and we trust that
everything will go well.
00:01:48.74\00:01:51.79

Resist the devil and

day You've given us.
00:04:26.88\00:04:29.07
Please help the

00:04:31.89\00:04:35.52

us and everything.
00:04:35.53\00:04:38.11
In Jesus precious
and holy name, amen.
00:04:38.12\00:04:40.47
Amen, thank you very much.
00:04:40.48\00:04:42.86
Pastor Doug, we invite
you to come forward again,
00:04:42.87\00:04:44.57
we do have some Bible
questions again tonight.
00:04:44.58\00:04:47.03
Amen, good morning everyone,
00:04:47.04\00:04:49.47
evening, I said,
morning, it's morning somewhere,
00:04:49.48\00:04:52.42
this is going all over the world
00:04:52.43\00:04:54.03
so I was talking to those
in South Africa right now.
00:04:54.04\00:04:58.16
We have some video questions
00:04:58.17\00:04:59.87
and I think we can start
00:04:59.88\00:05:01.49
with the video
questions right now.
00:05:01.50\00:05:02.80
Okay. So we'll roll that.
00:05:02.81\00:05:05.25
How do we know
that the Bible is true?
00:05:05.26\00:05:08.28
How many of you
read your Bible's today?
00:05:08.29\00:05:11.07
Some of you just
read it a few minutes ago,
00:05:11.08\00:05:12.52
I mean, before
the scripture reading.
00:05:12.53\00:05:14.86
Good for you, bless your heart.
00:05:14.87\00:05:16.20
We're gonna try to
read the Bible everyday,
00:05:16.21\00:05:18.78
because we found out
if you taste you will,
00:05:18.79\00:05:21.48
for yourself you'll
find out that God is good,
00:05:21.49\00:05:24.63
and the Bible is true.
00:05:24.64\00:05:26.50
One of the great evidences
of the truth of the Bible,
00:05:26.51\00:05:29.24
it changes lives not only that,
00:05:29.25\00:05:32.44
the prophecies in the Bible
that God has made come true.
00:05:32.45\00:05:36.34
And so when God
tells us the future
00:05:36.35\00:05:38.19
and everything He
foretells happens,
00:05:38.20\00:05:40.36
then we realize that it's
the truth, that God is real.
00:05:40.37\00:05:44.87
And so there is so much evidence
00:05:44.88\00:05:46.29
in the Bible scientifically,
historically, prophetically,
00:05:46.30\00:05:50.72
the greatest
evidence is it works.
00:05:50.73\00:05:53.10
How many of you
when you went to school,
00:05:53.11\00:05:54.82
you used the
multiplication table,
00:05:54.83\00:05:56.90
you ever used the multiple--
let me see your hands.
00:05:56.91\00:05:59.16
Why do you use the
multiplication table?
00:05:59.17\00:06:02.91
Because it works, right?
00:06:02.92\00:06:05.64
And the reason we read
the Bible is and believe it,
00:06:05.65\00:06:08.12
it's true, it works
that's why it's been
00:06:08.13\00:06:09.98
the best selling book for.
00:06:09.99\00:06:12.88
Well since Moses
started writing 3,500 years ago,
00:06:12.89\00:06:16.65
I think that's
pretty good evidence.
00:06:16.66\00:06:18.54
Well, Pastor Doug, here's proof
00:06:18.55\00:06:19.92
that there really is a
storm brewing right above us,
00:06:19.93\00:06:22.90
I see some water drops
landing on our mystery chest.
00:06:22.91\00:06:26.80
Our mystery chest may go
up in smoke if it shots out,
00:06:26.81\00:06:30.40
but we'll just keep praying.
00:06:30.41\00:06:32.39
All right, we
have another question
00:06:32.40\00:06:33.71
somebody wrote in, this is Star,
00:06:33.72\00:06:35.25
he is in the 5th grade
and here's his question.
00:06:35.26\00:06:38.14
"How old are you? My
mom loves your speeches."
00:06:38.15\00:06:43.92
Well, now my name
is Pastor Batchelor,
00:06:43.93\00:06:45.89
but I'm a married Batchelor
just let mom know that,
00:06:45.90\00:06:48.19
I'm sure she didn't
mean anything by that.
00:06:48.20\00:06:50.49
But I'm, I
forget, I'm 51-years-old
00:06:50.50\00:06:54.64
and the older you get the
more you forget who old you are.
00:06:54.65\00:06:58.37
All right, well,
good, we have another
00:06:58.38\00:06:59.80
video question at this
time so we'll role that.
00:06:59.81\00:07:02.65
My name is Stephen of Lauderdale
00:07:02.66\00:07:04.60
and I'm
9-years-old, my question is,
00:07:04.61\00:07:06.88
did the Lord invent dinosaurs?
00:07:06.89\00:07:10.01
Did the Lord invent dinosaurs?
00:07:10.02\00:07:12.08
I think, he's asking, of course,
00:07:12.09\00:07:13.43
did the Lord create dinosaurs?
00:07:13.44\00:07:16.27
Well, how many of you have seen
00:07:16.28\00:07:17.96
pictures of dinosaur bones?
00:07:17.97\00:07:20.56
And you've maybe seeing
anything from Barney cartoons
00:07:20.57\00:07:23.78
to all kinds of
things about dinosaurs.
00:07:23.79\00:07:26.60
I grew up in New York
city across the street
00:07:26.61\00:07:30.03
from a very famous museum
00:07:30.04\00:07:31.61
called The American
Museum of Natural History,
00:07:31.62\00:07:34.59
and ever since I could remember,
00:07:34.60\00:07:35.97
I was your age,
I'd go back then,
00:07:35.98\00:07:37.57
you could go for
free, at least kids could.
00:07:37.58\00:07:40.36
And I'd look at all of
these great big dinosaur bones,
00:07:40.37\00:07:42.95
the evidence for
dinosaur is all over the world
00:07:42.96\00:07:45.74
and I believe
there were dinosaurs.
00:07:45.75\00:07:48.01
I don't think the
artist paint them very well,
00:07:48.02\00:07:49.84
they make them all
look like their skin
00:07:49.85\00:07:51.21
was kind of gray elephant color,
00:07:51.22\00:07:53.42
that's because
from bones we don't know
00:07:53.43\00:07:55.18
what the color of their
skin was, they may have been
00:07:55.19\00:07:57.20
very beautiful
patterns on their, their skin.
00:07:57.21\00:08:00.57
But dinosaurs really lived,
00:08:00.58\00:08:02.40
the problem is that
you've often heard a fairytale
00:08:02.41\00:08:06.12
about the age of the dinosaurs.
00:08:06.13\00:08:08.17
The dinosaurs,
those are big reptiles,
00:08:08.18\00:08:11.04
they lived before
the time of the flood,
00:08:11.05\00:08:13.97
during the days
of Noah, and Adam,
00:08:13.98\00:08:16.01
but God made all kinds
of different creatures.
00:08:16.02\00:08:18.94
We got some
little dinosaurs today,
00:08:18.95\00:08:20.72
they're called Komodo dragons,
00:08:20.73\00:08:22.52
as matter of
fact, you'll hear about
00:08:22.53\00:08:24.12
that in your lesson tonight
when you get your lesson.
00:08:24.13\00:08:27.56
All right, here's another
question that Megan sent in,
00:08:27.57\00:08:30.12
she's in 4th grade
and her question is,
00:08:30.13\00:08:32.02
"What is your
favorite story in the Bible?"
00:08:32.03\00:08:35.56
You know, I saw that
question before the program
00:08:35.57\00:08:37.60
and I was having
problems thinking about it.
00:08:37.61\00:08:39.40
Because I tell you,
00:08:39.41\00:08:40.91
one of my favorite
stories is the story of Joseph,
00:08:40.92\00:08:44.25
Joseph who is
mistreated by his brothers,
00:08:44.26\00:08:46.29
sold like a slave
by his own brothers,
00:08:46.30\00:08:50.00
spent years as a slave
00:08:50.01\00:08:51.32
and then he falsely
accused and imprisoned.
00:08:51.33\00:08:53.54
And he never stop trusting God,
00:08:53.55\00:08:56.30
and because he was
faithful in his youth
00:08:56.31\00:08:59.21
and he did what
his father on earth
00:08:59.22\00:09:01.54
and his Father
in heaven asked him.
00:09:01.55\00:09:03.38
And one day he went
from the prison to the place
00:09:03.39\00:09:06.06
because he was
faithful in little things,
00:09:06.07\00:09:08.32
God knew he could trust Joseph
to be rule over many things.
00:09:08.33\00:09:12.11
And his brothers
came to him one day
00:09:12.12\00:09:15.01
and they were begging for bread
00:09:15.02\00:09:17.04
and the Lord used
Joseph to save his family
00:09:17.05\00:09:19.82
and you know the
wonderful thing he forgave them,
00:09:19.83\00:09:23.01
everything they did to him.
00:09:23.02\00:09:24.72
It was a toss up
between Joseph and David,
00:09:24.73\00:09:26.95
I tell you David and Goliath
00:09:26.96\00:09:28.12
is a great story,
that's a great story.
00:09:28.13\00:09:31.62
All right, well Pastor Doug,
00:09:31.63\00:09:32.60
I think we have one more
video question for this evening,
00:09:32.61\00:09:35.22
so we'll do that at this time.
00:09:35.23\00:09:37.53
Hi, my name is Gracey
Staley, and my question is,
00:09:37.54\00:09:41.14
"Why did the devil
disguise as a snake
00:09:41.15\00:09:43.16
and not any other animal?"
00:09:43.17\00:09:45.39
Oh, yeah, now I don't know
00:09:45.40\00:09:47.20
how well our
friends that are watching
00:09:47.21\00:09:49.11
at home could see this,
maybe a camera can zoom in,
00:09:49.12\00:09:51.14
pardon me, Pastor Ross.
00:09:51.15\00:09:52.74
You see we got up
here on the stage,
00:09:52.75\00:09:56.67
some of you can see this,
00:09:56.68\00:10:00.28
he won't hurt you,
this is a rubber snake.
00:10:00.29\00:10:02.97
But when you think of snake,
how many, any of you girls
00:10:02.98\00:10:05.21
out there afraid to snakes?
00:10:05.22\00:10:10.41
Any of you boys admit
to being afraid of snakes?
00:10:10.42\00:10:14.31
Couple of boys, do
you know that Pastor Doug,
00:10:14.32\00:10:18.43
when I lived up in
the mountain in a cave,
00:10:18.44\00:10:21.24
we had Rattlesnakes up
there, I've eaten snake before.
00:10:21.25\00:10:25.78
And you know what?
00:10:25.79\00:10:26.91
You don't want to
do it, you know why?
00:10:26.92\00:10:30.00
Well, a couple of
reasons, one is Bible says,
00:10:30.01\00:10:31.73
you shouldn't it,
another reason is did
00:10:31.74\00:10:33.44
the lot of work
and you don't get
00:10:33.45\00:10:34.50
anything out of it,
they don't have much,
00:10:34.51\00:10:36.94
much on, it's not safe.
00:10:36.95\00:10:39.40
But snakes are
something God made,
00:10:39.41\00:10:43.14
they were beautiful
creatures in the garden,
00:10:43.15\00:10:44.86
and matter of fact it says,
00:10:44.87\00:10:45.84
the reason the devil
used the snake is because,
00:10:45.85\00:10:48.43
it was so
beautiful and so hypnotic.
00:10:48.44\00:10:51.03
And probably
had wings back then,
00:10:51.04\00:10:54.09
and that's why God cursed it,
00:10:54.10\00:10:55.35
didn't had to go on
the ground that means
00:10:55.36\00:10:56.83
before God cursed it,
it didn't have to do that.
00:10:56.84\00:11:00.55
And so we're
gonna talk a little bit
00:11:00.56\00:11:02.53
more about that
in our study tonight.
00:11:02.54\00:11:04.73
All right, well
thank you very much
00:11:04.74\00:11:05.83

00:11:21.71\00:11:23.47
"I Will Give Them A New Heart."
00:11:23.48\00:11:26.99
And I will give
them an heart to know me
00:11:43.24\00:11:52.20
That I am the Lord

I will give

I will give

That I am the Lord.
00:14:03.69\00:14:16.16
Amen, that was beautiful, amen.
00:14:18.46\00:14:24.11
I sure appreciate that.
00:14:24.12\00:14:27.14
Hey, thank you so much
that music is beautiful
00:14:27.15\00:14:28.99
some of our Amazing
Adventure singers have come
00:14:29.00\00:14:30.99
from different
parts of the country
00:14:31.00\00:14:32.97
and I want to thank Ms.
Graciela and Kelly Mavor,
00:14:32.98\00:14:35.38
who's done such a
beautiful job on the piano.
00:14:35.39\00:14:37.71
Again, welcome to our
friends who are watching
00:14:37.72\00:14:39.69
from all different
parts of North America
00:14:39.70\00:14:42.46
and around the
world, we're very grateful
00:14:42.47\00:14:45.56
that you are
tuned into this program.
00:14:45.57\00:14:48.07
And I hope you'll be
praying, because we're having
00:14:48.08\00:14:50.69
the fringes of our
hurricane that are going by
00:14:50.70\00:14:53.71
right during this broadcast,
00:14:53.72\00:14:55.10
the devil does not want
you to hear tonight's study.
00:14:55.11\00:14:59.62
I think it's interesting
out of all the places
00:14:59.63\00:15:01.88
that a leak could
form in this church,
00:15:01.89\00:15:04.89
the water is dripping
right on the mystery chest.
00:15:04.90\00:15:08.03
The devil
doesn't want you to know
00:15:08.04\00:15:09.49
what you're gonna learn
out of that box tonight.
00:15:09.50\00:15:12.12
And so you'll understand
that better as we begin,
00:15:12.13\00:15:15.08
our lesson tonight you'll be
getting a copy of this lesson
00:15:15.09\00:15:19.61
is dealing with the
subject of "Slaying a Dragon."
00:15:19.62\00:15:23.85
And we're gonna talk
about dragon country,
00:15:23.86\00:15:28.40
we're gonna talk about
the most amazing adventure,
00:15:28.41\00:15:31.71
life there's good and evil,
how many of you realize that?
00:15:31.72\00:15:36.78
And there's an enemy out there
00:15:36.79\00:15:39.65
and he does not
want you to be safe,
00:15:39.66\00:15:42.37
he is the opposite of
everything that is good.
00:15:42.38\00:15:45.88
And a lot of
people don't understand
00:15:45.89\00:15:48.06
that God is love and God is good
00:15:48.07\00:15:49.63
because of the dragon.
00:15:49.64\00:15:51.41
So we're gonna talk
about how to slay the dragon.
00:15:51.42\00:15:53.87
You know it's very interesting
that all through history
00:15:53.88\00:15:57.86
in different parts of the world,
00:15:57.87\00:15:59.43
there are stories
about flying dragons,
00:15:59.44\00:16:02.42
how many of you have heard
stories about flying dragons?
00:16:02.43\00:16:05.34
Well you know there
are some reptiles today
00:16:05.35\00:16:07.11
that actually
fly, matter of fact
00:16:07.12\00:16:09.11
you can read a
verse in the Bible,
00:16:09.12\00:16:10.36
in Isaiah 14
verse 29 and it says, "
00:16:10.37\00:16:13.33
"Its offspring will be
a fiery flying serpent."
00:16:13.34\00:16:17.47
They got lizards
they don't really flap
00:16:17.48\00:16:20.03
but they stretch
out the rib cages
00:16:20.04\00:16:21.81
and they glide and
they've got snakes in Indonesia
00:16:21.82\00:16:25.18
that when they
jump from tree to tree,
00:16:25.19\00:16:27.62
they spread out their ribs
00:16:27.63\00:16:29.28
and they can
glide, a gliding snake.
00:16:29.29\00:16:32.43
But you know, we found
from the dinosaur bones
00:16:32.44\00:16:35.13
that they were actually
some very large flying reptiles,
00:16:35.14\00:16:39.58
you would have
called them flying dragons.
00:16:39.59\00:16:41.90
They had this Giant Pterosaurs
00:16:41.91\00:16:44.35
and there were several
different varieties of them
00:16:44.36\00:16:47.06
but the biggest one
over 44 foot wing span,
00:16:47.07\00:16:51.82
you know that's bigger
than like a Cessna airplane.
00:16:51.83\00:16:55.48
Wouldn't you say
that's a flying dragon?
00:16:55.49\00:16:58.49
Matter of fact, some of them had
00:16:58.50\00:17:01.13
big flat bones on their head
00:17:01.14\00:17:02.97
and the paleontologist wondered,
00:17:02.98\00:17:05.77
did they use that to help steer,
00:17:05.78\00:17:07.57
turn their head like a rudder
backwards from an airplane.
00:17:07.58\00:17:11.52
And some of
them had hollow bones
00:17:11.53\00:17:13.01
in their head
with empty chambers
00:17:13.02\00:17:14.39
and they're
wondering what was that for.
00:17:14.40\00:17:16.40
One scientist theorized,
00:17:16.41\00:17:18.95
you ever had of
bombardier beetle,
00:17:18.96\00:17:21.01
bombardier beetle is a beetle
that fliers a fiery liquid
00:17:21.02\00:17:24.91
by mixing two chemical
that it has in chambers.
00:17:24.92\00:17:28.89
And they thought
what if some of those
00:17:28.90\00:17:30.46
flying pterosaurs had
chemicals in their chambers,
00:17:30.47\00:17:33.72
we can't tell from the
fossils and they used to spit,
00:17:33.73\00:17:37.59
you know cobra's
spit maybe flying
00:17:37.60\00:17:40.87
dragons really did spit
00:17:40.88\00:17:42.51
some kind of fiery
chemical, we don't know.
00:17:42.52\00:17:45.23
But all the
different cultures in the world
00:17:45.24\00:17:47.14
have stories about
these fiery dragons,
00:17:47.15\00:17:49.83
these flying dragons.
00:17:49.84\00:17:52.15
And there really were
some reptiles that flied,
00:17:52.16\00:17:54.84
that flew back before
the time of the flood.
00:17:54.85\00:17:58.07
You know, the Bible tells us
00:17:58.08\00:17:59.33
that the devil is
compared to a dragon
00:17:59.34\00:18:03.25
and it tells us that the dragon
00:18:03.26\00:18:04.71
is gonna be slain by the Lord.
00:18:04.72\00:18:06.04
You can read this
in Isaiah 27, verse 1,
00:18:06.05\00:18:09.10
"In that day the
Lord with his sore
00:18:09.11\00:18:11.89
and great and
strong sword shall punish
00:18:11.90\00:18:15.74
that crooked serpent,
00:18:15.75\00:18:17.36
and he shall slay the
dragon that is in the sea."
00:18:17.37\00:18:20.60
The devil is called the serpent,
00:18:20.61\00:18:22.44
the devil is called the dragon
00:18:22.45\00:18:24.32
and I know it may not
be a very happy subject
00:18:24.33\00:18:26.56
but tonight
we're gonna talk about
00:18:26.57\00:18:28.04
why is there evil in the
world why are we tempted?
00:18:28.05\00:18:31.42
Why do bad things
happen to good people?
00:18:31.43\00:18:33.99
And so we're going to go to
00:18:34.00\00:18:35.11
our study guide
tonight learn about that,
00:18:35.12\00:18:36.87
I just wanted to
remember to tell you something,
00:18:36.88\00:18:39.03
you'll be
collecting all the study guide,
00:18:39.04\00:18:41.07
you may want to do
what Pastor Doug did.
00:18:41.08\00:18:43.47
I just went and got one
of these little notebooks
00:18:43.48\00:18:45.17
and I punched
holds in my study guides
00:18:45.18\00:18:47.15
and I keep them all together.
00:18:47.16\00:18:48.73
So the things you learn
from these study, friends
00:18:48.74\00:18:51.17
you can then take them
to your friend, and say,
00:18:51.18\00:18:53.04
"Wow, I want to tell you about
the Amazing Adventure series,"
00:18:53.05\00:18:55.62
and you can study
with your friends,
00:18:55.63\00:18:57.05
the wonderful
things you're gonna learn.
00:18:57.06\00:18:58.56
So just a thought I
wanted to share with you.
00:18:58.57\00:19:01.35
Lesson number two on
the Slaying the Dragon,
00:19:01.36\00:19:05.50
question number
one, "Who is this dragon
00:19:05.51\00:19:09.42
and where did he come from?"
00:19:09.43\00:19:11.65
Now where we're gonna get
our answers for these questions.
00:19:11.66\00:19:14.82
Everything we're
teaching you tonight
00:19:14.83\00:19:16.66
is based on the Bible,
we're getting our information
00:19:16.67\00:19:19.46
from God's holy
book that never fails.
00:19:19.47\00:19:22.19
If you read in the Bible
in Luke Chapter 10 verse 18,
00:19:22.20\00:19:26.33
Jesus said this,
00:19:26.34\00:19:27.90
"I saw Satan fall like
lightning from heaven."
00:19:27.91\00:19:32.29
So where did
the devil come from?
00:19:32.30\00:19:35.30
The devil in heaven.
00:19:35.31\00:19:37.05
Let's keep reading,
Revelation Chapter 12 verse 9,
00:19:37.06\00:19:40.76
"So that great
dragon," there he is,
00:19:40.77\00:19:43.21
that's a nickname for the devil,
00:19:43.22\00:19:45.00
"That great dragon was cast out,
00:19:45.01\00:19:47.24
that serpent of old,
called the Devil and Satan,
00:19:47.25\00:19:51.01
who deceives the whole world."
00:19:51.02\00:19:53.42
The whole world has
been deceived by the devil,
00:19:53.43\00:19:55.83
he doesn't want them to
know that he really exists.
00:19:55.84\00:19:58.95
And it goes on to say,
"He was cast to the earth,
00:19:58.96\00:20:01.72
and his angels
were cast out with him."
00:20:01.73\00:20:04.62
We're gonna find out more
00:20:04.63\00:20:05.92
about the devil's
angels in just a minute.
00:20:05.93\00:20:08.52
So something happened,
you might be wondering,
00:20:08.53\00:20:11.16
did God make a devil in heaven.
00:20:11.17\00:20:13.35
Question number
two, "Who made the devil?
00:20:13.36\00:20:16.82
And is he really a dragon?"
00:20:16.83\00:20:19.43
And you might be thinking
why did God make a devil?
00:20:19.44\00:20:21.39
Let's find out
what the Bible says,
00:20:21.40\00:20:23.19
Ezekiel Chapter 28
00:20:23.20\00:20:25.06
you learn a lot about where
Satan come from and the devil.
00:20:25.07\00:20:28.32
And there the Lord
says, "You were created.
00:20:28.33\00:20:30.90
You were the
anointed cherub who covers,
00:20:30.91\00:20:34.15
and I established you."
00:20:34.16\00:20:35.80
You see, by the throne of God,
00:20:35.81\00:20:38.13
you can read this
in Isaiah Chapter 6,
00:20:38.14\00:20:41.06
there are two very mighty angels
00:20:41.07\00:20:45.03
and they hover by
the throne of God,
00:20:45.04\00:20:46.45
they are the top angels.
00:20:46.46\00:20:48.77
Lucifer was the
highest of the angels, right,
00:20:48.78\00:20:51.92
they called him
a covering cherub,
00:20:51.93\00:20:53.76
right by the throne of God.
00:20:53.77\00:20:55.57
He was the General
of all the other angels.
00:20:55.58\00:20:58.98
Now everything in the world
was created except one thing,
00:20:58.99\00:21:06.70
who knows what's
not, what was not created?
00:21:06.71\00:21:11.24
God, who created God.
00:21:11.25\00:21:14.40
God has always been there.
00:21:14.41\00:21:16.67
So the most powerful
of all of God's creations
00:21:16.68\00:21:20.99
was this beautiful
angel and his name.
00:21:21.00\00:21:24.56
Well, I'm
getting ahead of myself,
00:21:24.57\00:21:25.62
I'm not gonna
tell you his name yet.
00:21:25.63\00:21:27.20
The Bible says in John,
in 1 John Chapter 3 verse 8,
00:21:27.21\00:21:30.65
"The devil sinneth
from the beginning."
00:21:30.66\00:21:33.33
So sin originated with who?
00:21:33.34\00:21:36.30
The devil, it began with Satan.
00:21:36.31\00:21:38.77
"That old serpent
called the Devil and Satan."
00:21:38.78\00:21:42.10
And he's got a lot of
names, he's called the advisory,
00:21:42.11\00:21:44.58
he's called the enemy,
00:21:44.59\00:21:45.63
he's called the
prince of darkness,
00:21:45.64\00:21:46.85
he's called Beelzebub.
00:21:46.86\00:21:49.10
And if you take the letter d
00:21:49.11\00:21:51.91
off of devil what
does that spell? Evil.
00:21:51.92\00:21:55.22
The girls got
that one real quick.
00:21:55.23\00:21:58.00
So if you want to
know what the devils like,
00:21:58.01\00:22:00.37
just take d off of
his word he's evil.
00:22:00.38\00:22:03.28
And he does not want you
to know what his tricks are,
00:22:03.29\00:22:06.57
that's why this
program is so important.
00:22:06.58\00:22:10.37
Then he goes on to say,
00:22:10.38\00:22:11.61
"What was Satan's
name before he sinned?"
00:22:11.62\00:22:14.03
Question number three,
00:22:14.04\00:22:15.12
"And where was he
living at that time?"
00:22:15.13\00:22:18.86
It says in Isaiah
Chapter 14 verse 12,
00:22:18.87\00:22:23.98
"How you are fallen from heaven,
00:22:23.99\00:22:26.06
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
00:22:26.07\00:22:30.48
For you have said in your heart,
00:22:30.49\00:22:32.96
I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God,
00:22:32.97\00:22:36.60
I will be like the Most High."
00:22:36.61\00:22:39.31
His name back
then, matter of fact,
00:22:39.32\00:22:40.90
if you knew the devil back
then you would have liked him.
00:22:40.91\00:22:44.30
He was a beautiful
angel, matter of fact,
00:22:44.31\00:22:47.00
God made him good,
but something went wrong
00:22:47.01\00:22:51.30
and he began to be
jealous about God's power.
00:22:51.31\00:22:55.90
Lucifer started thinking,
00:22:55.91\00:22:57.76
why can't I
create like God can't,
00:22:57.77\00:22:59.67
why don't I have all
the power that God has,
00:22:59.68\00:23:02.68
I wish I was God.
00:23:02.69\00:23:04.64
And he began to
want God's position,
00:23:04.65\00:23:06.36
he was so beautiful all
the other angels would turn
00:23:06.37\00:23:08.68
and look when he walk by
00:23:08.69\00:23:09.94
and light was just
flowing out of him,
00:23:09.95\00:23:12.01
the name Lucifer
means light bearer.
00:23:12.02\00:23:14.65
He looked like
traveling being of jewels,
00:23:14.66\00:23:18.09
he was powerful, he could sing,
00:23:18.10\00:23:20.86
probably six part
harmony all by himself,
00:23:20.87\00:23:23.87
just all this
power and all this glory
00:23:23.88\00:23:26.08
but he was still a creature,
he was not the creator,
00:23:26.09\00:23:29.89
he was the
creation, he had been created,
00:23:29.90\00:23:32.65
he didn't have the power of God.
00:23:32.66\00:23:34.00
And he wanted all the
power, he wanted to be the top,
00:23:34.01\00:23:37.28
he was very proud,
the opposite of God.
00:23:37.29\00:23:40.50
See God is love, the
devil is the opposite of love,
00:23:40.51\00:23:43.83
who knows what the
opposite of love it? Say it.
00:23:43.84\00:23:48.29
Well actually
selfishness, I know you think,
00:23:48.30\00:23:51.08
you're right, hate too.
00:23:51.09\00:23:53.54
Love is where you
think about others,
00:23:53.55\00:23:56.39
the opposite of love
00:23:56.40\00:23:57.42
is where you only
think about yourself.
00:23:57.43\00:24:01.42
And so all Lucifer really
thought about was himself.
00:24:01.43\00:24:05.44
And there is a
battle in the world today
00:24:05.45\00:24:07.20
between the King of
Love, who is God and Jesus,
00:24:07.21\00:24:10.85
and the king of selfishness,
which is Satan and Lucifer.
00:24:10.86\00:24:14.17
And they're
battling for your heart,
00:24:14.18\00:24:15.62
the devil wants
you to be selfish
00:24:15.63\00:24:16.91
and just think about
yourself and Jesus is trying
00:24:16.92\00:24:18.88
to teach us the
love and think about God
00:24:18.89\00:24:21.16
and think about others.
00:24:21.17\00:24:22.20
Who knows what the
great commandment is,
00:24:22.21\00:24:24.79
"Love the Lord
with all of your heart,
00:24:24.80\00:24:27.56
love your neighbor as yourself."
00:24:27.57\00:24:29.85
But Lucifer is all
about me, me, my, my, my,
00:24:29.86\00:24:33.14
he's all about himself.
00:24:33.15\00:24:35.00
Now the devil
was a beautiful angel
00:24:35.01\00:24:36.95
but does he want
you to know that?
00:24:36.96\00:24:39.38
No, he wants you to think
that he looks like a monster,
00:24:39.39\00:24:42.28
some people
think Satan is a joke.
00:24:42.29\00:24:45.77
You've probably
heard about people saying,
00:24:45.78\00:24:48.47
devil's fruit
cake, they've also got
00:24:48.48\00:24:50.41
angel's fruit cake right?
00:24:50.42\00:24:52.43
Now if I was to ask you
what does the devil look like?
00:24:52.44\00:24:55.17
If you went to
the Halloween store
00:24:55.18\00:24:56.89
to find out what
you're gonna dress up
00:24:56.90\00:24:59.02
like to look like the devil,
00:24:59.03\00:25:00.58
what color would
be your leotards?
00:25:00.59\00:25:04.40
Red leotards, what would
you have on top of your head?
00:25:04.41\00:25:07.59
Horns, what would
you carry in your hand?
00:25:07.60\00:25:10.87
Sounds like a
trident of pitchforks,
00:25:10.88\00:25:12.64
something like
that, that's because
00:25:12.65\00:25:13.74
the devil pretend
he's in-charge of hell
00:25:13.75\00:25:15.24
and he's supposed to make sure
00:25:15.25\00:25:16.22
everyone is cooked
evenly, that's what they say.
00:25:16.23\00:25:19.81
And does he have wings? No.
00:25:19.82\00:25:22.97
Bat wings, yeah, how many of you
00:25:22.98\00:25:24.60
have seen pictures of the devil,
00:25:24.61\00:25:25.58
he got like bat
wings, does he have a tale?
00:25:25.59\00:25:28.38
He got a point on the end of it.
00:25:28.39\00:25:30.67
Some pictures he's
got hooves like a goat,
00:25:30.68\00:25:34.62
does the devil have a beard?
00:25:34.63\00:25:37.03
You know, Pastor
Doug used to have a beard,
00:25:37.04\00:25:38.70
I had a goatee, that's
because they say goatee
00:25:38.71\00:25:40.72
because it's comes
from the word goat.
00:25:40.73\00:25:43.09
And people told
me, I should shave it
00:25:43.10\00:25:44.54
because they said
you look like the devil,
00:25:44.55\00:25:47.81
they said, I looked
like a sinister minister
00:25:47.82\00:25:50.51
when I had a goatee.
00:25:50.52\00:25:52.75
And so I shaved it
off because you know,
00:25:52.76\00:25:54.37
if you preaching about Jesus,
00:25:54.38\00:25:56.00
you don't want people
tell you look like the devil.
00:25:56.01\00:25:57.80
But does the Bible
say they said, anywhere
00:25:57.81\00:25:59.57
that Satan has got
red leotards and horns.
00:25:59.58\00:26:03.88
He wants people to think
that that actually all comes
00:26:03.89\00:26:06.81
from Greek and Roman mythology,
00:26:06.82\00:26:09.28
the devil was a
glorious beautiful angel.
00:26:09.29\00:26:13.34
Question number three,
"How did Lucifer change?"
00:26:13.35\00:26:17.63
Answer it says that
he began to be jealous,
00:26:17.64\00:26:21.00
you can read about this in
Ezekiel Chapter 28 verse 15,
00:26:21.01\00:26:26.20
did make a devil? It says, no, "
00:26:26.21\00:26:29.74
You were perfect in your ways
from the day you were created
00:26:29.75\00:26:33.95
until iniquity
was found in you."
00:26:33.96\00:26:37.90
He began to think
about how beautiful he was
00:26:37.91\00:26:40.70
in verse 17, it says,
"Your heart was lifted up
00:26:40.71\00:26:43.68
because of your beauty."
00:26:43.69\00:26:45.70
I used to know a girl,
00:26:45.71\00:26:46.68
she was very pretty
but she was very conceded,
00:26:46.69\00:26:50.18
she always thought
about how pretty she was,
00:26:50.19\00:26:51.84
she was always in
front of the mirror,
00:26:51.85\00:26:53.78
primping herself
and fixing herself up
00:26:53.79\00:26:56.05
and whenever she
walk by store window
00:26:56.06\00:26:57.48
she's always looking at herself.
00:26:57.49\00:26:59.76
It just preoccupied
with how she looked,
00:26:59.77\00:27:02.13
she fell in love with herself.
00:27:02.14\00:27:05.56
That's what
happened with the devil,
00:27:05.57\00:27:07.40
he preoccupied with himself.
00:27:07.41\00:27:09.09
It goes on to say, even
though he was very smart
00:27:09.10\00:27:11.83
because he was so in love
with himself, he became dumb.
00:27:11.84\00:27:15.16
"You corrupted your wisdom
00:27:15.17\00:27:17.00
by reason of your brightness."
00:27:17.01\00:27:18.99
He was so bright and glorious
00:27:19.00\00:27:20.67
all he could
think about was himself.
00:27:20.68\00:27:23.33
"For you said in your heart,
I will be like the Most High."
00:27:23.34\00:27:27.71
He wanted the position of God.
00:27:27.72\00:27:31.09
Now did God make a devil?
00:27:31.10\00:27:35.81
Now think about this,
some people say, they say no.
00:27:35.82\00:27:39.90
Did God created everything?
00:27:39.91\00:27:42.48
Is there evil in the world? Yes.
00:27:42.49\00:27:45.17
How many beliefs there
are evil in the world today?
00:27:45.18\00:27:48.20
And then if I would ask
you did God make everything,
00:27:48.21\00:27:50.19
most of you
would raise your hands
00:27:50.20\00:27:51.32
and you would
said, wait a second,
00:27:51.33\00:27:52.30
does that mean, God made evil?
00:27:52.31\00:27:55.59
No, that's a
misconception, think about this.
00:27:55.60\00:28:00.50
Is there's such a thing as dark?
00:28:00.51\00:28:03.20
But you know,
you don't make dark,
00:28:03.21\00:28:05.22
darkness is the
absence of light.
00:28:05.23\00:28:08.22
If you take away
light, you have dark.
00:28:08.23\00:28:12.16
You know, there is
really no such thing as cold,
00:28:12.17\00:28:14.77
they've got
something called absolute zero,
00:28:14.78\00:28:16.80
you get cold
when there is no heat.
00:28:16.81\00:28:20.82
And God did not make
evil, God is good, God is love,
00:28:20.83\00:28:24.35
but if you
reject the light of God,
00:28:24.36\00:28:26.69
if you reject the warmth of God,
00:28:26.70\00:28:28.62
if you reject
the goodness of God,
00:28:28.63\00:28:30.56
what's left, if
you don't have goodness
00:28:30.57\00:28:32.42
what do you have,
badness and evil, right?
00:28:32.43\00:28:35.95
And so God didn't make
evil, God made everything good,
00:28:35.96\00:28:40.56
the Bible says, every good
and perfect gift is from God,
00:28:40.57\00:28:44.52
God made a good perfect angel.
00:28:44.53\00:28:47.41
Now, you might be thinking,
00:28:47.42\00:28:48.39
well God must make a mistake.
00:28:48.40\00:28:50.82
Because when He made Lucifer,
since God knows everything,
00:28:50.83\00:28:54.08
couldn't God had just made
00:28:54.09\00:28:56.19
the little
transistors in his brain
00:28:56.20\00:28:57.96
so he would never
be selfish and proud,
00:28:57.97\00:29:00.40
couldn't he have
made him that way?
00:29:00.41\00:29:01.67
Yeah, he could have,
00:29:01.68\00:29:03.59
but God wants His
creature to love Him.
00:29:03.60\00:29:06.51
Now, I'm gonna need somebody
00:29:06.52\00:29:07.72
who will get in the
mystery chest tonight,
00:29:07.73\00:29:10.16
you got make sure you
don't electrocute yourself.
00:29:10.17\00:29:13.18
All right, is
your name Talan? Yes.
00:29:13.19\00:29:14.84
All right, come on up
here, I want you to go in there,
00:29:14.85\00:29:17.50
let me take the
little, don't worry you guys
00:29:17.51\00:29:19.59
will get another chance
let me take this off for you.
00:29:19.60\00:29:21.43
I want you to see if
you can find a dog in there?
00:29:21.44\00:29:23.07
How many of you like puppy dogs?
00:29:23.08\00:29:25.13
You like puppy dogs?
00:29:25.14\00:29:26.71
Well, we got a puppy dog.
00:29:26.72\00:29:29.64
Well, Talan, isn't he cuddly?
00:29:29.65\00:29:34.09
Yeah, I'm not sure
00:29:34.10\00:29:35.07
who made this puppy
dog but, here he is.
00:29:35.08\00:29:43.25
How do you like that?
00:29:43.26\00:29:46.04
Wouldn't you
like a dog like that?
00:29:46.05\00:29:47.78
Yeah, ould he be
warm and cuddly--
00:29:47.79\00:29:55.82
There he go--does he have
a mind of his own? No way.
00:29:55.83\00:30:00.70
What he's saying?
00:30:03.32\00:30:04.61
No, he doesn't have
his own mind, does he?
00:30:04.62\00:30:08.01
Isn't that cute?
00:30:12.43\00:30:15.76
You think he's doing
this because he loves me,
00:30:15.77\00:30:19.59
he's doing this because
someone in Japan preprogrammed
00:30:19.60\00:30:22.07
him and his
transistors to do that.
00:30:22.08\00:30:24.68
All right, I can't
give him to you, sorry.
00:30:28.18\00:30:31.30
But how much better
would a real dog be,
00:30:31.31\00:30:33.92
let's see, do we
have real dog somewhere?
00:30:33.93\00:30:37.57
Let see if there
is a difference here.
00:30:37.58\00:30:39.68
Well come on bring him up here,
00:30:39.69\00:30:41.06
you know-- hello,
come here puppy dog,
00:30:44.19\00:30:47.13
how are you
doing? What's your name?
00:30:47.14\00:30:50.62
He's scared now because
he got a mind of his own,
00:30:50.63\00:30:52.72
look at you guys
00:30:52.73\00:30:53.70
you're so much more
interested in the real dog,
00:30:53.71\00:30:55.87
what do you think it is,
00:30:55.88\00:30:56.85
you know, I'm
gonna turned him on
00:30:56.86\00:30:57.83
see what he does?
00:30:57.84\00:30:58.81
He's not even
noticing, you know why?
00:31:06.57\00:31:09.77
Dogs can tell
when something's real,
00:31:09.78\00:31:12.38
this is not real.
00:31:12.39\00:31:14.51
Of course, we don't
have to feed him often,
00:31:14.52\00:31:16.47
but it does take batteries.
00:31:16.48\00:31:17.48
Thank you very much boys,
00:31:17.49\00:31:19.31
we I can just put
the dog back down here.
00:31:19.32\00:31:22.82
H'es much of a, but
does he have a personality?
00:31:22.83\00:31:25.73
What do you like about him?
00:31:25.74\00:31:27.58
You're gonna talk
into my microphone.
00:31:27.59\00:31:28.87
He's active. He's active.
00:31:28.88\00:31:31.96
is he happy when you come home,
00:31:31.97\00:31:33.29
when you come home? Yeah.
00:31:33.30\00:31:35.09
Yeah, you like feeding
him, taking care of him. Yeah.
00:31:35.10\00:31:39.19
Sometimes, yeah,
that's what happens,
00:31:39.20\00:31:41.34
kids want puppies,
thank you very much.
00:31:41.35\00:31:43.42
I just got dripped on.
00:31:43.43\00:31:48.02
Now, could the Lord have
made the devil like a robot?
00:31:48.03\00:31:53.20
Can a robot love? No.
00:31:53.21\00:31:56.09
No, robots, robots don't love.
00:31:56.10\00:31:58.33
Now how many of you like
love do you all like love,
00:32:01.60\00:32:07.51
how many of you
want to be loved?
00:32:07.52\00:32:09.90
Pastor Doug
wants to be loved too,
00:32:09.91\00:32:11.38
so I figured out
a way to always get
00:32:11.39\00:32:13.10
all the love that I need.
00:32:13.11\00:32:16.03
I just be loved by
this little tape player here
00:32:16.04\00:32:19.68
and I will tell this tape player
00:32:19.69\00:32:21.50
what I want to hear.
00:32:21.51\00:32:22.79
Hi, Doug have I told
you lately how smart you are
00:32:24.96\00:32:30.77

00:32:30.78\00:32:33.35
And strong, Doug
I really love you,
00:32:33.36\00:32:38.03
I love you Doug, Doug I

00:32:38.04\00:32:41.84
to express how
much I love you, okay?
00:32:41.85\00:32:47.73
Hi, Doug have I told
you lately how smart you are
00:32:47.74\00:32:53.42
and you're very handsome too.
00:32:53.43\00:32:56.07
And strong, I love you Doug,
00:32:56.08\00:33:02.38
Doug I just can't
even find words to express
00:33:02.39\00:33:05.22
how much I love you.
00:33:05.23\00:33:06.20
Oh, I feel love now,
Does this really love me? No.
00:33:06.21\00:33:14.82
Can a tape player love? No.
00:33:14.83\00:33:17.04
I making it love me,
00:33:17.05\00:33:18.61
you know,
somebody, somebody gave,
00:33:18.62\00:33:20.68
Mrs. Batchelor will be
joining us later this week,
00:33:20.69\00:33:23.48
I'm so busy and I
traveled that they thought,
00:33:23.49\00:33:25.18
you know, Pastor
Doug's on the road so much
00:33:25.19\00:33:27.54
that she's missing her husband
00:33:27.55\00:33:28.70
and so they felt sorry
for and they got her a gift.
00:33:28.71\00:33:30.89
The perfect husband.
00:33:30.90\00:33:33.63
I want to sayed hi, to
Mrs. Batchelor right now,
00:33:33.64\00:33:36.65
this is called Mr. Wonderful
00:33:36.66\00:33:45.28
and he's tell, you know,
00:33:45.29\00:33:46.61
every wife wants to
hear this from her husband.
00:33:46.62\00:33:50.31
See it doesn't work, I love you.
00:33:50.32\00:33:54.47
he does better
than that, yes, dear.
00:33:54.48\00:33:58.78
You've been on my mind all day,
00:33:58.79\00:34:01.40
that's why I
thought you, you know, honey
00:34:01.41\00:34:05.66
why don't you just relax
and let me make dinner tonight.
00:34:05.67\00:34:10.12
These are all the things
that husband really never said.
00:34:10.13\00:34:13.42
Why don't we go to the mall?
00:34:13.43\00:34:14.96
Didn't we buy
out some new shoes?
00:34:14.97\00:34:19.77
Mr. Wonderful, you know what?
00:34:19.78\00:34:22.09
When my wife got this present
she play with it for a minute
00:34:22.10\00:34:24.19
and thought it was
funny and then put it away.
00:34:24.20\00:34:26.98
Do you think that she
put his in bed when I'm gone?
00:34:26.99\00:34:29.54
He snuggle with, no, it
just a robot it can't love
00:34:29.55\00:34:34.84
it stays in the box.
00:34:34.85\00:34:35.82
So why did God make Lucifer?
00:34:35.83\00:34:39.70
Did God--He makes all
of His creatures free.
00:34:39.71\00:34:43.43
When your parents
decided to have you
00:34:43.44\00:34:46.04
or ostensibly assuming
they did decide to have you.
00:34:46.05\00:34:48.97
Did they get any
kind of written guarantee
00:34:48.98\00:34:50.87
from the Lord,
00:34:50.88\00:34:51.85
that you're always gonna
be a good little boy and girl
00:34:51.86\00:34:54.59
and always obey or did
they take a chance? Why?
00:34:54.60\00:35:00.50
Because they wanted to love you
00:35:00.51\00:35:02.32
and they want you to love them.
00:35:02.33\00:35:04.43
Love must be
free and so the Lord
00:35:04.44\00:35:07.28
made all of His creatures
free even though God knew
00:35:07.29\00:35:11.60
that Lucifer might
chose to love himself more.
00:35:11.61\00:35:14.24
Now I got a lot left to
tell you in the lesson tonight
00:35:14.25\00:35:16.25
so I better keep on moving here.
00:35:16.26\00:35:18.30
How many angels joined Lucifer
when he rebel against God?
00:35:18.31\00:35:22.79
Well the answer
here in the Bible,
00:35:22.80\00:35:24.97
Revelation Chapter 12
verse 3 and 4, it says,
00:35:24.98\00:35:29.09
"Another sign
appeared in Heaven,
00:35:29.10\00:35:31.76
behold, a great, fiery
red dragon and his tail
00:35:31.77\00:35:35.70
drew a third of
the stars of heaven."
00:35:35.71\00:35:40.01
These angels are fallen angels
and sometimes we think about
00:35:40.02\00:35:44.23
demons and ghosts and goblins,
00:35:44.24\00:35:46.68
they're all these fallen angels
00:35:46.69\00:35:48.20
who'd follow Lucifer,
00:35:48.21\00:35:49.91
they were rebelled against God.
00:35:49.92\00:35:52.61
And that leads us
to our next question,
00:35:52.62\00:35:54.26
question number five,
00:35:54.27\00:35:55.62
"What was the result
of Lucifer's rebellion?
00:35:55.63\00:35:58.48
When he said, we don't need God
00:35:58.49\00:36:00.33
to tell us what to do anymore.
00:36:00.34\00:36:02.00
He went around among
the other angels in heaven
00:36:02.01\00:36:04.81
and he said, if I was
in-charge we be happier.
00:36:04.82\00:36:08.35
And he was able to
convince one third of the angels
00:36:08.36\00:36:12.76
in heaven to follow him
instead of following God
00:36:12.77\00:36:15.83
and there was a great rebellion,
00:36:15.84\00:36:17.05
it tells us in
Revelation 12 verse 7,
00:36:17.06\00:36:19.62
"There was a war in heaven
and Michael and his angels
00:36:19.63\00:36:25.05
fought against the dragon,
00:36:25.06\00:36:26.79
and the dragon
fought and his angels."
00:36:26.80\00:36:30.21
And the Bible tells us that,
00:36:30.22\00:36:33.24
"His tail drew a third
part of the stars of heaven
00:36:33.25\00:36:36.70
and did cast them to earth."
00:36:36.71\00:36:39.50
Now see, stars is a
symbolic word for angels
00:36:39.51\00:36:42.54
when you're reading
there in Revelation,
00:36:42.55\00:36:44.16
it tells us that
the angels equal stars
00:36:44.17\00:36:46.56
and you'll have
all of these scriptures
00:36:46.57\00:36:48.53
and these codes to unlock
00:36:48.54\00:36:50.16
some of these
prophesies in the Bible
00:36:50.17\00:36:51.89
they were in your lesson here.
00:36:51.90\00:36:54.23
So after Satan
was cast out of heaven
00:36:54.24\00:36:57.37
where did he go?
00:36:57.38\00:36:58.74
It says that he
was cast to the earth
00:36:58.75\00:37:01.86
that leads us to
our next question,
00:37:01.87\00:37:03.30
question number six,
00:37:03.31\00:37:04.93
"How did Satan trick humans
to join in his rebellion?"
00:37:04.94\00:37:09.30
Answer, it says in
Genesis Chapter 2 verse 17,
00:37:09.31\00:37:14.35
He came and he met
them in the Garden of Eden
00:37:14.36\00:37:16.32
and he began to
tempt them at this tree.
00:37:16.33\00:37:19.38
God made everything
perfect in the beginning,
00:37:19.39\00:37:21.60
remember God
makes everything good.
00:37:21.61\00:37:23.74
When God made our
world in the beginning,
00:37:23.75\00:37:25.29
were there any
devils back then? No.
00:37:25.30\00:37:27.61
Did the animals
eat each other? No.
00:37:27.62\00:37:30.48
Everything was
peaceful, everything was loving,
00:37:30.49\00:37:33.72
but there was tree
God, said to Adam and Eve,
00:37:33.73\00:37:36.74
don't eat from this
tree, he warned them.
00:37:36.75\00:37:38.83
Genesis 2:17, "Of
the tree of the knowledge
00:37:38.84\00:37:42.18
of good and evil
you shall not eat,
00:37:42.19\00:37:45.66
for in the day that you eat
thereof you will surely die."
00:37:45.67\00:37:51.66
God said, you know if you sin,
the penalty for sin is death,
00:37:51.67\00:37:54.53
sin is like a
terrible deadly disease
00:37:54.54\00:37:57.47
and God didn't want
them to catch this disease.
00:37:57.48\00:37:59.94
And he said, if you
just obey in this one thing,
00:37:59.95\00:38:02.11
Lucifer was going
through the universe
00:38:02.12\00:38:04.22
and he'd been telling everybody
00:38:04.23\00:38:05.76
that they be happy
if they followed him.
00:38:05.77\00:38:08.47
And God gave even Adam
and Eve freedom to choose
00:38:08.48\00:38:11.28
if they would listen
to Lucifer or trust him.
00:38:11.29\00:38:15.02
So the devil knew he would
need to disguise themselves,
00:38:15.03\00:38:17.53
what do you think he
disguise themselves as?
00:38:17.54\00:38:19.83
Snake, A
serpent and do you think
00:38:19.84\00:38:22.14
it was an ugly snake
or was it a beautiful?
00:38:22.15\00:38:26.08
You know what?
00:38:26.09\00:38:27.06
One reason I think
that snakes were pick.
00:38:27.07\00:38:30.49
Snakes are not very loving
to their young are they? No.
00:38:30.50\00:38:33.81
Snakes, they have their babies,
00:38:33.82\00:38:35.86
they either hatch eggs,
00:38:35.87\00:38:36.84
you know
rattlesnakes have live births,
00:38:36.85\00:38:39.54
then after they have
them they crawl away.
00:38:39.55\00:38:40.90
Some snakes have even eaten
00:38:40.91\00:38:42.02
their own babies,
they're not very loving.
00:38:42.03\00:38:44.36
Matter of fact snakes are
what you call cold-blooded,
00:38:44.37\00:38:48.84
if a snake gets
too cold it freezes.
00:38:48.85\00:38:51.86
Some snakes, that
got this water snakes
00:38:51.87\00:38:54.54
that when they are
frozen they seem to be
00:38:54.55\00:38:56.74
totally frozen, stiff as a stick
00:38:56.75\00:38:59.53
and they thought and looks
like they come back to life.
00:38:59.54\00:39:03.08
So the devil was like that,
00:39:03.09\00:39:04.74
he's just a very sneaky creature
00:39:04.75\00:39:07.34
and that's one reason
that he symbolize by the snake.
00:39:07.35\00:39:10.40
It says in
Genesis Chapter 3 verse 1,
00:39:10.41\00:39:12.94
"Now the
serpent was more cunning
00:39:12.95\00:39:15.54
than any beast of the field
that the Lord God had made."
00:39:15.55\00:39:18.15
So the devil decided to
use the serpent as a medium,
00:39:18.16\00:39:21.62
he possess the snake and
he spoke through the snake.
00:39:21.63\00:39:25.08
And when evil is out
doing her pleasant work
00:39:25.09\00:39:26.91
in the garden, she was lingering
00:39:26.92\00:39:28.36
by that forbidden
tree and she thought,
00:39:28.37\00:39:30.51
I wonder why God said
we're not suppose to eat that.
00:39:30.52\00:39:32.87
And right, then the serpent
called to her from the tree,
00:39:32.88\00:39:36.68
big beautiful
serpent and he was moving,
00:39:36.69\00:39:38.79
you know, some snakes,
they hypnotize their prey
00:39:38.80\00:39:41.93
with their very smooth motions.
00:39:41.94\00:39:45.73
And he was moving and
maybe his iridescent wings
00:39:45.74\00:39:49.00
were fluttering, any of
you seen the iridescent colors
00:39:49.01\00:39:51.42
of like a
hummingbird, they shimmer.
00:39:51.43\00:39:54.73
And he said, "Oh, come here,
00:39:54.74\00:39:56.29
hi, boy, you are
sure beautiful, Eve.
00:39:56.30\00:39:59.22
Why do God say, you
can't eat from this tree?
00:39:59.23\00:40:02.52
Well, God says we can't
eat that forbidden fruit
00:40:02.53\00:40:04.48
because if we do we'll die.
00:40:04.49\00:40:06.18
And the serpent
was biting the fruit
00:40:06.19\00:40:08.84
and he said, oh, this is yummy,
00:40:08.85\00:40:11.17
matter of fact
before I ate this food
00:40:11.18\00:40:12.61
I couldn't even
talk now look at me.
00:40:12.62\00:40:15.33
God's keeping
this from you because
00:40:15.34\00:40:16.96
there's a special
power in this fruit,
00:40:16.97\00:40:19.51
the devil is very
sneaky, he is a deceiver,
00:40:19.52\00:40:22.36
he tricks people
with his clever work.
00:40:22.37\00:40:24.90
If you know something's wrong
00:40:24.91\00:40:26.69
should Eve, then
talk to the devil?
00:40:26.70\00:40:28.44
No, She should
run the other way,
00:40:28.45\00:40:30.54
the Bible says, we
should flee temptation,
00:40:30.55\00:40:33.73
don't start getting
into a debate with the devil,
00:40:33.74\00:40:36.65
"And the serpent
said to the woman,
00:40:36.66\00:40:38.41
you won't surely die."
00:40:38.42\00:40:40.80
In other words
the devil was saying,
00:40:40.81\00:40:42.79
do not trust the words of God.
00:40:42.80\00:40:46.22
Now that's a decision
that all of us need to make
00:40:46.23\00:40:49.43
in our lives, there's the Bible
00:40:49.44\00:40:52.55
and if this is
your map to heaven,
00:40:52.56\00:40:54.75
you'll make it
through this adventure of life
00:40:54.76\00:40:56.69
and you'll be
safe from the dragon.
00:40:56.70\00:40:58.74
If you follow all
the other philosophies
00:40:58.75\00:41:00.91
and all the other stories
you're gonna hear in the world
00:41:00.92\00:41:03.98
then you can be in trouble.
00:41:03.99\00:41:06.02
How many of you believe that
God has a plan for your life?
00:41:06.03\00:41:10.19
How many of you believe that
00:41:10.20\00:41:11.29
devil has a plan for your life?
00:41:11.30\00:41:13.79
All of your hand
should also go up,
00:41:13.80\00:41:17.35
you don't want the devil's plan
00:41:17.36\00:41:19.05
but you know that he's
got a plan for you right?
00:41:19.06\00:41:22.40
God's plan for you is life,
00:41:22.41\00:41:25.44
you come to
Jesus, the Bible says,
00:41:25.45\00:41:26.81
"He that has the Son has life."
00:41:26.82\00:41:30.12
Moses at the end of his life,
he told that chosen of Israel
00:41:30.13\00:41:33.07
I've said before
you this day two choices
00:41:33.08\00:41:36.33
life and good and blessing,
if you believe God's word
00:41:36.34\00:41:39.64
and obey him, death and
evil and cursing, if you don't.
00:41:39.65\00:41:44.69
Jesus plan for you
is good, very good life,
00:41:44.70\00:41:48.41
what's the devil's plan?
00:41:48.42\00:41:50.34
Bad, suffering,
miserable, life and then death.
00:41:50.35\00:41:55.74
And God cannot force
you to love him, can he?
00:41:55.75\00:41:59.40
Anymore than I can force
a human creature to love me,
00:41:59.41\00:42:03.62
they have a free choice.
00:42:03.63\00:42:05.29
And the devil cannot
force you to follow him,
00:42:05.30\00:42:08.31
you get to choose who
you want to love and serve,
00:42:08.32\00:42:13.05
you can make that choice.
00:42:13.06\00:42:14.91
And I'm hoping that
everybody who's watching
00:42:14.92\00:42:16.74
this program realizes
00:42:16.75\00:42:17.93
this is the most important thing
00:42:17.94\00:42:19.77
you could be doing because
you can be making a choice
00:42:19.78\00:42:22.91
during this series
about living forever
00:42:22.92\00:42:25.70
in God's plan for
your life, His will for you
00:42:25.71\00:42:28.73
or the devil's
plan to destroy you.
00:42:28.74\00:42:31.15
And it's very important
that you make the right choice,
00:42:31.16\00:42:34.39
number seven, Adam
and Eve, disobey, right?
00:42:34.40\00:42:38.61
And what happened as a result
00:42:38.62\00:42:39.72
of their
disobedience, number seven,
00:42:39.73\00:42:41.87
"Why didn't Adam and Eve die
00:42:41.88\00:42:44.01
as soon as they ate
the forbidden fruit?
00:42:44.02\00:42:46.80
You know what the story
is, Eve finally reached up
00:42:46.81\00:42:49.80
and she took the fruit,
the devil said, you know
00:42:49.81\00:42:52.36
if you eat this
you'll be like God,
00:42:52.37\00:42:54.76
that's really what
he wanted, isn't it?
00:42:54.77\00:42:55.87
He wanted to be God
00:42:55.88\00:42:56.91
and so he told Eve the
same thing, he really wanted.
00:42:56.92\00:42:59.14
Oh, you'll be like
God, if you eat this fruit,
00:42:59.15\00:43:01.38
you'll have extra power,
00:43:01.39\00:43:02.36
God's keeping
good things from you,
00:43:02.37\00:43:04.67
he's hiding fun from you.
00:43:04.68\00:43:06.83
You know, the devil still
tells young people that today,
00:43:06.84\00:43:09.40
oh, you don't want to
follow, don't listen to God,
00:43:09.41\00:43:11.68
he's keeping you
from all the fun things.
00:43:11.69\00:43:14.89
Like sometimes the devil says,
00:43:14.90\00:43:16.03
oh drink beer and
alcohol, it will be fun
00:43:16.04\00:43:18.99
and he tries to make
it look like it's fun
00:43:19.00\00:43:20.52
and he doesn't really show you
00:43:20.53\00:43:21.71
the people who are
sick laying in the street,
00:43:21.72\00:43:24.11
who've lost all their money,
and they've lost their family,
00:43:24.12\00:43:25.99
and they've lost their
job because of alcohol.
00:43:26.00\00:43:28.49
The devil shows
the commercials on TV
00:43:28.50\00:43:30.39
that make it look like
it's fun, he is a deceiver.
00:43:30.40\00:43:34.14
And he told Eve,
just a little bit,
00:43:34.15\00:43:36.17
just take one bite, a
little bit won't hurt.
00:43:36.18\00:43:39.62
I remember one
time, the devil told me,
00:43:39.63\00:43:43.22
you can just take one cigarette,
00:43:43.23\00:43:45.03
you can stop anytime you want.
00:43:45.04\00:43:47.49
And I saw that some of
my friends were smoking
00:43:47.50\00:43:50.01
and I wanted to
look like I was cool
00:43:50.02\00:43:52.21
so I took one cigarette
and I didn't fall over and die
00:43:52.22\00:43:55.71
so I thought oh,
maybe another one.
00:43:55.72\00:43:58.08
And then I started
taking one cigarette
00:43:58.09\00:43:59.96
everyday on my way to school
00:43:59.97\00:44:02.21
and then pretty soon I got where
00:44:02.22\00:44:03.26
I was stealing
cigarettes from my mom
00:44:03.27\00:44:05.89
and I couldn't stop smoking.
00:44:05.90\00:44:07.35
And it's like the
devil had me chained
00:44:07.36\00:44:08.94
and I wanted to
quit, I kept trying to quit
00:44:08.95\00:44:11.06
and it wasn't until years later
00:44:11.07\00:44:13.50
after lots of money was wasted,
00:44:13.51\00:44:15.13
just burned up your
money when you smoke don't you?
00:44:15.14\00:44:17.88
So you don't even
get any nutritional value
00:44:17.89\00:44:19.96
out of cigarettes right?
00:44:19.97\00:44:22.16
It doesn't make you any smarter,
00:44:22.17\00:44:23.50
it doesn't do
anything good for you
00:44:23.51\00:44:27.22
when a person
smoking, all they doing is
00:44:27.23\00:44:29.62
sucking smoke and
something is burning up.
00:44:29.63\00:44:32.91
And finally I
had to ask the Lord,
00:44:32.92\00:44:35.51
please save me
and Jesus set me free.
00:44:35.52\00:44:37.88
The devil says,
just a little bit.
00:44:37.89\00:44:40.54
So Eve took that one bite
and then first she said, wow,
00:44:40.55\00:44:44.00
maybe that did feel pretty good.
00:44:44.01\00:44:46.22
She ran to Adam and
said, this is great,
00:44:46.23\00:44:48.20
I was talking to
the serpent and he said,
00:44:48.21\00:44:49.77
God's hiding great things
from us, taste some of this,
00:44:49.78\00:44:52.45
it's suppose to be really good.
00:44:52.46\00:44:54.55
And Adam was very sad but
he didn't want to lose Eve
00:44:54.56\00:44:58.57
and he saw that she
hadn't fallen over and died
00:44:58.58\00:45:02.24
so he took a bite.
00:45:02.25\00:45:04.77
And then all of a
sudden they felt a chill.
00:45:04.78\00:45:07.69
You see before Adam and Eve sin,
00:45:07.70\00:45:09.82
they had robes of
light, they did not wear
00:45:09.83\00:45:12.01
any artificial clothing.
00:45:12.02\00:45:14.22
And then after they sin
their life started to go out,
00:45:14.23\00:45:17.96
all of a sudden
things began to die.
00:45:17.97\00:45:20.24
Now, in our question it said,
00:45:20.25\00:45:21.75
"Why didn't Adam
and Eve die right away?
00:45:21.76\00:45:24.48
You know why Adam and
Eve didn't die right away
00:45:24.49\00:45:26.51
when they ate
the forbidden fruit?
00:45:26.52\00:45:28.92
You read about it in John 3:16,
00:45:28.93\00:45:30.80
how many of you know this verse?
00:45:30.81\00:45:33.16
You want to say this with me?
00:45:33.17\00:45:35.06
"For God so loved the world
00:45:35.07\00:45:38.23
He gave His only begotten son,
00:45:38.24\00:45:42.20
that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish,
00:45:42.21\00:45:47.04
but have everlasting life."
00:45:47.05\00:45:50.40
Did the Lord,
know what Adam and Eve
00:45:50.41\00:45:52.43
will gonna do
before they did it?
00:45:52.44\00:45:54.03
Yes, God knows everything
00:45:54.04\00:45:56.03
and the Lord, had a plan
00:45:56.04\00:45:57.40
that if men
disobeyed, He loved man.
00:45:57.41\00:46:00.51
See the angels when they rebel,
00:46:00.52\00:46:01.61
they kind of knew
what they were doing,
00:46:01.62\00:46:02.94
men was deceive and Gods said,
00:46:02.95\00:46:04.93
"I'm gonna give another
chance I love you so much,
00:46:04.94\00:46:07.47
I'm gonna come to earth
00:46:07.48\00:46:08.45
and I'm gonna die in
your place to save you."
00:46:08.46\00:46:11.26
And so, Adam and Eve,
00:46:11.27\00:46:12.75
they didn't die
physically that very day
00:46:12.76\00:46:15.83
but they sort
of die spiritually,
00:46:15.84\00:46:17.56
things began to
change and all the universe
00:46:17.57\00:46:19.74
began to change and
guests started coming in.
00:46:19.75\00:46:22.63
And now the devil,
he is going around,
00:46:22.64\00:46:25.51
the Bible says in First
Peter Chapter 5 verse 8,
00:46:25.52\00:46:28.98
"Be sober, be vigilant,
00:46:28.99\00:46:31.35
because your
adversary the devil,
00:46:31.36\00:46:33.01
he is going around
like a roaring lion,
00:46:33.02\00:46:36.15
looking whom he can devour."
00:46:36.16\00:46:38.16
The devil is like a lion,
00:46:38.17\00:46:39.44
you know, lion sneaks
00:46:39.45\00:46:40.42
upon its prey and
it surprises them.
00:46:40.43\00:46:43.17
And again it says,
"The Lord said to Satan,
00:46:43.18\00:46:45.98
in the Book of Job
when Satan came to appear,
00:46:45.99\00:46:48.73
God said to Satan,
"Where did you come from?"
00:46:48.74\00:46:50.54
The God knew but he said
that so we get the answer.
00:46:50.55\00:46:53.36
"And Satan answered
and he said to the Lord,
00:46:53.37\00:46:56.33
I've come from going
to and fro on the earth
00:46:56.34\00:46:59.12
and walking up and down in it."
00:46:59.13\00:47:00.63
He is going all around the world
00:47:00.64\00:47:02.00
and he's looking for people
00:47:02.01\00:47:03.08
to recruit because
he wants to destroy men.
00:47:03.09\00:47:06.34
You know, why the
devil wants to hurt you,
00:47:06.35\00:47:08.35
why does the devil,
this powerful angel,
00:47:08.36\00:47:11.26
why does he mess with humans?
00:47:11.27\00:47:13.91
I tell you why,
00:47:13.92\00:47:16.14
because if you
want to hurt somebody,
00:47:16.15\00:47:19.93
you hurt who they
love, the devil hates Jesus.
00:47:19.94\00:47:26.63
He wanted Jesus' place
00:47:26.64\00:47:28.57
and now he's been cast
out of heaven, he hates Jesus.
00:47:28.58\00:47:32.17
And he knows how
much Jesus loves you
00:47:32.18\00:47:34.33
and so he wants to
hurt Jesus by hurting you.
00:47:34.34\00:47:38.33
And whenever we
sin, it hurts Jesus
00:47:38.34\00:47:40.40
and whenever we obey
God, it hurts the devil.
00:47:40.41\00:47:44.54
So everyday
you're hurting somebody
00:47:44.55\00:47:46.43
and everyday you're
making somebody happy.
00:47:46.44\00:47:48.65
How many of you
want to hurt the devil
00:47:48.66\00:47:50.22
and make Jesus happy?
00:47:50.23\00:47:52.20
You want to do
whatever makes the devil mad
00:47:52.21\00:47:54.24
and you want to do
whatever makes God glad,
00:47:54.25\00:47:56.39
isn't that right?
00:47:56.40\00:47:57.43
You on the right
track, if you do it that way.
00:47:57.44\00:47:59.80
And so the
devil hates the women,
00:47:59.81\00:48:02.11
the God's church is symbolize
in prophecy as a woman.
00:48:02.12\00:48:05.48
And it says the
dragon that's the devil,
00:48:05.49\00:48:07.61
he was angry with the woman
00:48:07.62\00:48:09.04
that's the bride
that's God's people,
00:48:09.05\00:48:11.09
His children and
he went to make war
00:48:11.10\00:48:13.25
with the remnant of her
seed, I mean it's her children,
00:48:13.26\00:48:15.99
her descendants that
keep the commandments of God
00:48:16.00\00:48:19.78
and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ."
00:48:19.79\00:48:22.11
They've got the
law and the prophets,
00:48:22.12\00:48:23.45
they've got the world of God,
00:48:23.46\00:48:25.01
the devil is angry
and he's making war.
00:48:25.02\00:48:28.14
And so there is an adventure,
there is a war in life
00:48:28.15\00:48:30.67
and the only way
you're gonna survive
00:48:30.68\00:48:31.94
this war is if you
are on the winning team.
00:48:31.95\00:48:34.72
Are you aware
00:48:34.73\00:48:35.96
that you and God
are always in majority,
00:48:35.97\00:48:39.20
if you're going into a battle
with God it doesn't matter
00:48:39.21\00:48:42.25
if you're
fighting against Goliath.
00:48:42.26\00:48:43.98
If you go into
battle trusting the Lord,
00:48:43.99\00:48:46.39
God can help you have
the victory over anything,
00:48:46.42\00:48:48.49
isn't that right? Yes.
00:48:48.50\00:48:50.04
It says in First John 4:4,
00:48:50.05\00:48:52.10
"Greater is he that is in you,
00:48:52.11\00:48:54.74
than he that is in the world."
00:48:54.75\00:48:56.61
God is more
powerful than the devil,
00:48:56.62\00:48:58.95
who's more powerful the
creator or the creation?
00:48:58.96\00:49:03.48
The creator, so the devil
is going around, he's angry,
00:49:03.49\00:49:07.78
the Bible says in
Revolution Chapter 12,
00:49:07.79\00:49:09.62
He knows his time is
short and so he's furious
00:49:09.63\00:49:13.62
and he wants to take as
many people with him as he can,
00:49:13.63\00:49:17.03
our only safety is
in trusting the Lord.
00:49:17.04\00:49:18.59
Number 8, "What will be
Satan's final punishments?"
00:49:18.60\00:49:22.83
I hope you're not
feeling sorry for the devil,
00:49:22.84\00:49:25.33
you know, he is going to
be punish for his rebellion.
00:49:25.34\00:49:27.55
It tells us in
Revelation 20 verse 10,
00:49:27.56\00:49:29.87
"The devil, who deceived them,
00:49:29.88\00:49:31.52
was cast into the lake of fire."
00:49:31.53\00:49:34.54
And you know those
who follow the devil
00:49:34.55\00:49:36.80
are gonna sharing
the devil's punishment,
00:49:36.81\00:49:38.45
what happens to the
devil and those who follow Him?
00:49:38.46\00:49:40.86
Mathew 25, these
are the words of Jesus,
00:49:40.87\00:49:43.47
Jesus said, "Depart from me,
00:49:43.48\00:49:45.28
ye cursed, into
everlasting fire,
00:49:45.29\00:49:47.77
prepared for the
devil and his angels."
00:49:47.78\00:49:49.91
That's the devil and his
fallen angels are demons,
00:49:49.92\00:49:53.21
they're gonna be
cast into the lake of fire
00:49:53.22\00:49:54.82
and everyone who follows them
00:49:54.83\00:49:56.57
and the Bible says
they're gonna burned up.
00:49:56.58\00:49:58.32
Ezekiel 28 verse 18,
00:49:58.33\00:50:00.62
"I will bring thee
to ashes on the earth
00:50:00.63\00:50:02.99
in the sight of all
them that behold thee."
00:50:03.00\00:50:05.95
Now, do any of you feel
sorry for the devil? No.
00:50:05.96\00:50:08.74
You shouldn't, I
need a volunteer.
00:50:08.75\00:50:12.64
Okay, we'll take a girl,
00:50:12.65\00:50:14.64
Amy, quickly, go look in the box
00:50:14.65\00:50:16.65
and I want you
to look in the box
00:50:16.66\00:50:18.81
and there's gonna
be sanke in there,
00:50:18.82\00:50:20.75
I want you to get it for me.
00:50:20.76\00:50:22.44
She didn't even slow down
00:50:22.45\00:50:23.71
when I told her there
was a snake in the box,
00:50:23.72\00:50:26.48
okay, you can
close the chest now.
00:50:26.49\00:50:30.43
All right, you know
what kind of snake that is?
00:50:30.44\00:50:35.44
Shake it, shake it fast,
00:50:35.45\00:50:40.09
it must be a rattlesnake
if it's rattling right?
00:50:40.10\00:50:42.93
I want you to take that
snake and hug it, cuddle it.
00:50:42.94\00:50:45.22
Yeah, Okay, let
me tell you a story,
00:50:45.23\00:50:48.18
there is a farmer
walking down the road
00:50:48.19\00:50:50.50
and it was in fall
and the frost did come
00:50:50.51\00:50:53.19
and he saw a snake
frozen on the ground
00:50:53.20\00:50:55.26
that got too cold
before he got back to his den.
00:50:55.27\00:50:58.23
And the farmer
felt sorry for him
00:50:58.24\00:50:59.72
and so he put the
snake inside his shirt
00:50:59.73\00:51:01.72
and he start to curdle the snake
00:51:01.73\00:51:02.90
to warm it up, it warmed up
and what do you think it did?
00:51:02.91\00:51:06.33
It bit up and the
farmer said that will teach me
00:51:06.34\00:51:09.12
for showing
mercy to a scoundrel,
00:51:09.13\00:51:11.44
don't you feel sorry
for the devil, right?
00:51:11.45\00:51:13.92
Thank you very much for
that, I appreciate that.
00:51:13.93\00:51:17.86
The devil is never
gonna repent, he is pure evil,
00:51:17.87\00:51:22.71
God gave him every
chance in the world
00:51:22.72\00:51:25.02
to change his
ways and he wouldn't.
00:51:25.03\00:51:27.12
He is the epitome of
evil, he is the arch villain.
00:51:27.13\00:51:30.51
And so don't you
feel sorry for him,
00:51:30.52\00:51:32.19
question number 9,
00:51:32.20\00:51:34.23
"But until then
how can I be protected
00:51:34.24\00:51:37.01
against the devil's temptations?
00:51:37.02\00:51:39.21
What do we do to
be saves in this world
00:51:39.22\00:51:40.90
to make this
adventure to the kingdom of God?
00:51:40.91\00:51:43.60
God tell us in
Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 11,
00:51:43.61\00:51:46.80
"Put on the whole armor of God,
00:51:46.81\00:51:49.51
that you might be able to stand
00:51:49.52\00:51:50.95
against the wiles of the devil."
00:51:50.96\00:51:52.78
How many of you've
heard these stories
00:51:52.79\00:51:54.12
about the
Knights in Shining Armor,
00:51:54.13\00:51:55.97
they go of to kill the dragon
and deliver the fair maiden.
00:51:55.98\00:51:59.71
You know that's
what you're reading about
00:51:59.72\00:52:01.18
in Revelation Chapter
20, Michael, who is Jesus,
00:52:01.19\00:52:04.88
He is the Knight
in Shining Armor,
00:52:04.89\00:52:06.62
who delivers His
bride, His church, His people
00:52:06.63\00:52:09.16
from Satan, the dragon
00:52:09.17\00:52:10.47
that's where they
get all those stories.
00:52:10.48\00:52:12.67
But if you go into
battle without the armor of God,
00:52:12.68\00:52:15.77
what's the
dragon gonna do to you?
00:52:15.78\00:52:17.52
Burn you.
00:52:17.53\00:52:18.50
Oh, you don't want to do,
if you go with your own armor,
00:52:18.51\00:52:22.33
you might get in trouble.
00:52:22.34\00:52:23.73
You want to make
sure you got God's armor
00:52:23.74\00:52:26.09
and that means
you use the Bible,
00:52:26.10\00:52:27.95
what did Jesus use
whenever He was tempted? Bible.
00:52:27.96\00:52:31.89
Every time the devil tempted Him
00:52:31.90\00:52:33.18
He said it is written, it
is written, it is written.
00:52:33.19\00:52:35.94
You can read in
Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 17,
00:52:35.95\00:52:39.35
"The sword of the Spirit
that is the world of God."
00:52:39.36\00:52:42.72
That is our only protection
00:52:42.73\00:52:45.01
and every time
the devil tempts you,
00:52:45.02\00:52:46.79
you do what Jesus
did, you quote the Bible,
00:52:46.80\00:52:48.91
but you've got to
read your Bibles first
00:52:48.92\00:52:50.90
if you're gonna know
how to quote the Bible
00:52:50.91\00:52:52.47
when you're tempted right?
00:52:52.48\00:52:54.12
Thy word I've hidden in
my heart that I might not sin
00:52:54.13\00:52:57.75
and back to our scripture
reading we started with,
00:52:57.76\00:53:00.53
how can we be
victories against the devil,
00:53:00.54\00:53:03.02
"Submit yourself
therefore to God.
00:53:03.03\00:53:05.62
Resist the devil and
he will flee from you.
00:53:05.63\00:53:08.79
Draw near to God and
He will draw near to you."
00:53:08.80\00:53:12.70
You know, a number of years ago
00:53:12.71\00:53:14.06
on a hot summer day in Florida,
00:53:14.07\00:53:16.56
there was about 12-years-old boy
00:53:16.57\00:53:17.97
and he just
wanted to go for swimming
00:53:17.98\00:53:19.34
there was a little
lake out behind their house.
00:53:19.35\00:53:21.54
He said, mom, I'm
going to swimming.
00:53:21.55\00:53:23.32
So he ran out there
and he didn't even wait
00:53:23.33\00:53:24.94
till he get to the wall,
00:53:24.95\00:53:25.92
he threw off his
shirt, he kicked off his shoes
00:53:25.93\00:53:27.69
and he left trail and
he jumped off in the water
00:53:27.70\00:53:30.27
and he started to swim around.
00:53:30.28\00:53:32.10
And mom kept
watching him out of the window
00:53:32.11\00:53:33.93
because she had heard every
now and then that alligators
00:53:33.94\00:53:36.37
got loose and she is
looking out to kitchen window
00:53:36.38\00:53:39.28
in the lake and she
saw an alligator swim
00:53:39.29\00:53:42.32
off the shore into the lake
00:53:42.33\00:53:44.24
and started
going towards her son.
00:53:44.25\00:53:47.63
She dropped what she was doing
00:53:47.64\00:53:48.64
and she run outside screaming,
00:53:48.65\00:53:49.95
she said quickly,
quickly come to shore
00:53:49.96\00:53:51.65
there is an alligator,
there is an alligator.
00:53:51.66\00:53:53.90
And the boy looked
and he started to paddle
00:53:53.91\00:53:55.54
as quickly as he
could back to the shore
00:53:55.55\00:53:56.90
and the mother ran down
to the beach to help him.
00:53:56.91\00:54:00.55
Right about the time
the boy got to his mother,
00:54:00.56\00:54:02.92
the alligator got to the boy
00:54:02.93\00:54:05.22
and he opened
his great big mouth
00:54:05.23\00:54:06.93
and this eight foot alligator,
00:54:06.94\00:54:08.29
he clump down on the boy's legs
00:54:08.30\00:54:11.03
and he try to pull
him off in the water.
00:54:11.04\00:54:13.20
But the mother got
a hold of his hands
00:54:13.21\00:54:14.86
and she pull back the other way
00:54:14.87\00:54:17.01
and there was a
terrible wrestling match
00:54:17.02\00:54:18.85
and the alligator began to spin
00:54:18.86\00:54:20.65
and then knock mom
down and started dragging
00:54:20.66\00:54:22.75
both of them in the water
00:54:22.76\00:54:23.73
and she got back up
00:54:23.74\00:54:24.71
and she pull him back out again.
00:54:24.72\00:54:26.50
And there was a farmer
00:54:26.51\00:54:27.64
who heard all the
screaming and commotion
00:54:27.65\00:54:30.67
and he grabbed a
riffle out of his truck
00:54:30.68\00:54:32.51
and he went over and
killed the alligator.
00:54:32.52\00:54:37.12
That boy was in the hospital
and he had scars on his leg
00:54:37.13\00:54:41.20
and he started to heal up okay.
00:54:41.21\00:54:44.07
And the reporters
came from the newspaper
00:54:44.08\00:54:45.62
and they said, tell
us about your adventure
00:54:45.63\00:54:47.08
and he told them, and they said
00:54:47.09\00:54:48.30
could we see the scars on
your legs from the alligator
00:54:48.31\00:54:51.24
and he pull back the
bed sheets in the hospital
00:54:51.25\00:54:53.60
and he show the scars
00:54:53.61\00:54:54.58
but you know what
he said, that's nothing
00:54:54.59\00:54:56.17
he said I got
scars on my hands too
00:54:56.18\00:54:58.43
because mom
would not let go of me,
00:54:58.44\00:55:02.16
because she loved me so much.
00:55:02.17\00:55:04.61
Well, did you know
there is someone else
00:55:04.62\00:55:05.95
that has scares in his hand
00:55:05.96\00:55:08.01
because he
wouldn't let go of you
00:55:08.02\00:55:10.20
because of His love for you.
00:55:10.21\00:55:12.09
There is a dragon
that wants to destroy you.
00:55:12.10\00:55:14.52
But Jesus wants to save you,
you need to make a decision.
00:55:14.53\00:55:18.70
And that's our last
question, question number 10,
00:55:18.71\00:55:22.34
"Do you want to follow
Jesus, put on His armor
00:55:22.35\00:55:25.47
and be protected
from the dragon?"
00:55:25.48\00:55:27.37
How many of you want to
say yes to Jesus, today?
00:55:27.38\00:55:29.79
And pray that God will help
you to completely follow Him.
00:55:29.80\00:55:32.89
And our friends who are watching
00:55:32.90\00:55:34.72
can you raise your hands
00:55:34.73\00:55:35.73
and say, I want to follow Jesus.
00:55:35.74\00:55:37.68
I know His hands are scared
because of His love for me.
00:55:37.69\00:55:41.34
Please put Jesus
first in your life,
00:55:41.35\00:55:44.41
read your Bibles
and you can trust Him,
00:55:44.42\00:55:46.51
He's got a special plan for you.
00:55:46.52\00:55:48.87
There is a battle in
life but you can be safe
00:55:48.88\00:55:51.69
if you put your
life in Jesus hands,
00:55:51.70\00:55:53.90
if you're walking with
him, you don't have to be afraid
00:55:53.91\00:55:56.31
to the devil, amen.
00:55:56.32\00:55:57.73
Because He's more powerful,
00:55:57.74\00:55:59.47
would you like to
pray with me right now
00:55:59.48\00:56:01.56
and asked the Lord,
to give you His Spirit
00:56:01.57\00:56:04.36
to put on that
armor and make a decision
00:56:04.37\00:56:07.03
to belong totally to Him,
00:56:07.04\00:56:09.11
you want God's will
for your life, amen?
00:56:09.12\00:56:10.99
Amen. Let's pray together.
00:56:11.00\00:56:13.84
Loving Father in
heaven, we're so thankful
00:56:13.85\00:56:16.40
for the good news that
Jesus loves us so much,
00:56:16.41\00:56:20.39
He gave His life to save
us, to defeat the dragon.
00:56:20.40\00:56:24.19
And we know that the
devil is going around
00:56:24.20\00:56:25.98
like a roaring lion but
we're not afraid of him, Lord,
00:56:25.99\00:56:28.22
because Jesus knows
how to tame the lion.
00:56:28.23\00:56:30.73
I pray that we'll
always stay close to His side,
00:56:30.74\00:56:33.12
put on His armor, read His word
00:56:33.13\00:56:35.32
and be ready for His coming.
00:56:35.33\00:56:36.62
Bless these children,
bless this program, Lord,
00:56:36.63\00:56:38.71
with Your Spirit, we
ask in Christ name, amen.
00:56:38.72\00:56:42.32
Amen, God bless you
friends now, don't forget
00:56:42.33\00:56:45.40
when is our next program?
00:56:45.41\00:56:47.66
Tomorrow night, and
we're going to be studying
00:56:47.67\00:56:49.93
a trip through the
stars in our final program,
00:56:49.94\00:56:53.46
you won't want to forget that,
00:56:53.47\00:56:54.44
don't forget it's not too
late to bring your friends.
00:56:54.45\00:56:57.32
And comeback and join us
00:56:57.33\00:56:58.60
all around the world
for an Amazing Adventure.
00:56:58.61\00:57:01.60
