Good evening.
00:00:11.87\00:00:13.21
It's good to see
you all, here again.
00:00:13.24\00:00:15.48
I'm very excited about
00:00:15.51\00:00:16.88
what we're going
to be sharing tonight
00:00:16.91\00:00:18.68
and I'm very thankful
00:00:18.71\00:00:20.52
that we got such a good group.
00:00:20.55\00:00:22.62
I want to ask
you all if you would,
00:00:22.65\00:00:24.35
let's ask the
Lord to be with us,
00:00:24.39\00:00:27.56
while we open His Word.
00:00:27.59\00:00:30.26
"Father in heaven,
00:00:30.29\00:00:31.79
we ask You in faith
for Your blessing tonight.
00:00:31.83\00:00:35.53
Send Your angels to
guard and protect us,
00:00:35.56\00:00:38.73
open our eyes that
we might see Your glory.
00:00:38.77\00:00:42.37
We thank You in Jesus' name.
00:00:42.40\00:00:44.54
Amen."
00:00:44.57\00:00:47.68
Tonight's message is called
00:00:47.71\00:00:49.08
"Echoes of Eden -
Ye shall be as Gods."
00:00:49.11\00:00:54.38
I want to open with
the text of scripture
00:00:54.42\00:00:57.62
in Isaiah Chapter 51,
and the Lord has inspired me,
00:00:57.65\00:01:03.89
He's told me,
00:01:03.93\00:01:05.36
"Open with truth
and close with truth."
00:01:05.39\00:01:08.86
All the stuff in between,
00:01:08.90\00:01:10.87
make sure you open with truth
and you close with My Word.
00:01:10.90\00:01:15.67
So in Isaiah 51,
the Lord tells us,
00:01:15.70\00:01:20.11
He says,"Hearken unto Me,
you that are seeking after,
00:01:20.14\00:01:24.65
striving for righteousness."
00:01:24.68\00:01:28.38
And then He says in verse 2,
00:01:28.42\00:01:30.29
"Look unto Abraham your father."
00:01:30.32\00:01:33.82
Abraham was 100 years old.
00:01:33.86\00:01:35.76
It was impossible
for him to generate seed.
00:01:35.79\00:01:41.66
At 100 it's out of the picture.
00:01:41.70\00:01:44.63
He says, "Look unto
Abraham your father,
00:01:44.67\00:01:47.74
and unto Sarah that bare you."
00:01:47.77\00:01:50.44
She was 90, that's impossible.
00:01:50.47\00:01:54.44
And God was trying to show us,
00:01:54.48\00:01:57.01
you that are seeking
00:01:57.05\00:01:59.38
to develop
righteousness on your own,
00:01:59.41\00:02:02.35
look to Abraham and Sarah.
00:02:02.38\00:02:05.72
He says, "For I
called Abraham alone,"
00:02:05.75\00:02:10.59
it means he had no children,
00:02:10.63\00:02:13.19
"and I blessed him
and I increased him."
00:02:13.23\00:02:17.57
And then in verse 3.
00:02:17.60\00:02:19.83
And this is a
promise that my wife and I
00:02:19.87\00:02:22.00
have claimed for our family.
00:02:22.04\00:02:24.54
It says, "For the
Lord shall comfort Zion,
00:02:24.57\00:02:28.54
He will comfort all
of your waste places,
00:02:28.58\00:02:33.98
He will make your
wilderness like Eden
00:02:34.02\00:02:37.89
and your deserts like
the garden of the Lord.
00:02:37.92\00:02:41.59
Joy and gladness
shall be found therein,
00:02:41.62\00:02:45.39
thanksgiving, and
the voice of melody."
00:02:45.43\00:02:48.76
That is a promise
and God cannot lie,
00:02:48.80\00:02:52.43
and my wife and I,
00:02:52.47\00:02:53.80
we claimed that
promise for our marriage,
00:02:53.84\00:02:56.04
when the Lord
brought us back together
00:02:56.07\00:02:57.67
and for our children,
00:02:57.71\00:02:59.21
because there
were so many wounds
00:02:59.24\00:03:01.88
that have been caused
there in both of our lives
00:03:01.91\00:03:04.81
and in our children's lives.
00:03:04.85\00:03:07.02
And I was trying to fix them
00:03:07.05\00:03:10.02
but God was
like, "Look at Abraham,
00:03:10.05\00:03:12.59
there's no way he could fix
it on his own, I had to do it."
00:03:12.62\00:03:18.19
And the Lord promises us,
00:03:18.23\00:03:20.06
"I will do this."
00:03:20.10\00:03:21.43
2 Corinthians 11:2, 3 it says,
00:03:24.57\00:03:30.17
"I fear, lest by any means,
00:03:30.21\00:03:33.98
as the serpent beguiled Eve,"
00:03:34.01\00:03:37.91
as he mesmerized
or hypnotized Eve,
00:03:37.95\00:03:42.45
"through his subtlety...
00:03:42.48\00:03:44.39
So your mind should be corrupted
00:03:44.42\00:03:47.72
from the
simplicity that's in Christ."
00:03:47.76\00:03:50.93
I like to look words
up and the reason why is,
00:03:50.96\00:03:53.93
when I read this
verse my whole life,
00:03:53.96\00:03:56.80
I was like,
00:03:56.83\00:03:58.17
"I don't want your
minds to be corrupted
00:03:58.20\00:03:59.53
from the
simplicity that's in Christ."
00:03:59.57\00:04:01.30
And I was like, you
just kind of read over it
00:04:01.34\00:04:03.87
and it doesn't have any meaning.
00:04:03.91\00:04:06.71
And when I looked
at it, I was like,
00:04:06.74\00:04:09.01
the simplicity that's in Christ,
00:04:09.04\00:04:11.35
what does that mean?
00:04:11.38\00:04:13.28
When you look up
the word simplicity,
00:04:13.31\00:04:15.98
in its original, in a Strong's,
it means the singleness
00:04:16.02\00:04:20.89
or oneness that's in Christ.
00:04:20.92\00:04:24.76
And when I saw that,
00:04:24.79\00:04:26.26
all the sudden
it became beautiful
00:04:26.29\00:04:29.06
because other scriptures
then tied in with that
00:04:29.10\00:04:33.13
and made sense.
00:04:33.17\00:04:35.54
John Chapter 10, I encourage
you to read these verses,
00:04:35.57\00:04:39.21
I'm not going to
quote all of them.
00:04:39.24\00:04:41.08
John 10:30-38,
00:04:41.11\00:04:45.01
Jesus said,
00:04:45.05\00:04:46.88
"I and My Father are one."
00:04:46.92\00:04:53.36
He just said
here the simplicity,
00:04:53.39\00:04:56.22
the oneness that is in Christ.
00:04:56.26\00:05:00.50
Jesus said, "I and
My Father are one."
00:05:00.53\00:05:04.50
John 17, it says,
00:05:04.53\00:05:07.14
"These words spake Jesus,
00:05:07.17\00:05:09.10
and lifted up His
eyes to heaven and said,
00:05:09.14\00:05:12.67
'I pray Father that
they all may be one.' "
00:05:12.71\00:05:18.55
That word in Hebrew is
"echad" it means in union
00:05:18.58\00:05:23.02
or united as one.
00:05:23.05\00:05:25.85
"I pray that they
all might be one as thou,
00:05:25.89\00:05:29.92
Father, art in Me, and I in Thee
00:05:29.96\00:05:34.53
that they also
may be one in us."
00:05:34.56\00:05:41.34
Growing up as a Christian,
00:05:41.37\00:05:43.41
a Seventh-day
Adventist Christian,
00:05:43.44\00:05:45.54
often times I would read things
00:05:45.57\00:05:50.95
but it was just surface.
00:05:50.98\00:05:52.65
Do you know what I mean?
00:05:52.68\00:05:54.05
It was like, I would read
it but never really comprehend
00:05:54.08\00:05:57.65
what it was saying,
00:05:57.69\00:05:59.42
and when I looked at
what Jesus said here,
00:05:59.45\00:06:02.42
"Father, I pray
that they might be one,
00:06:02.46\00:06:05.06
as we are one."
00:06:05.09\00:06:07.26
And then He said, "I
and my Father are one."
00:06:07.30\00:06:11.37
There's a verse
in 1 Corinthians,
00:06:11.40\00:06:14.50
I believe it's
Chapter 6, I want to touch on.
00:06:14.54\00:06:18.87
Let me check here
00:06:18.91\00:06:20.24
1 Corinthians 6:16, 17,
00:06:20.28\00:06:26.85
Our Father in heaven
tells us don't you know?
00:06:26.88\00:06:32.05
"He says, 'What?
00:06:32.09\00:06:33.42
Know ye not that he
which is joined to a harlot
00:06:33.46\00:06:38.36
is one body?' "
00:06:38.39\00:06:42.26
They become one.
00:06:42.30\00:06:44.57
I never comprehended that,
I thought physically, okay,
00:06:44.60\00:06:48.07
but what
difference does that make.
00:06:48.10\00:06:49.67
They are one for an
hour and then he leaves
00:06:49.70\00:06:52.54
or she leaves and it's over.
00:06:52.57\00:06:54.64
That's not how it works.
00:06:54.68\00:06:57.25
When a man is joined to a woman,
00:06:57.28\00:07:00.22
they become one,
00:07:00.25\00:07:02.05
and that means if
there are any evil spirits
00:07:02.08\00:07:06.92
that are active in her life,
00:07:06.96\00:07:10.63
when he becomes one with her
00:07:10.66\00:07:13.40
Satan and his fallen angels
00:07:13.43\00:07:15.66
now have legal
rights to his life.
00:07:15.70\00:07:20.84
Maybe not in the same degree,
00:07:20.87\00:07:23.54
but they have
access because he yielded.
00:07:23.57\00:07:27.74
I wish somebody had taught
me that when I was a young man.
00:07:27.78\00:07:31.75
How many of us, you know,
sow our wild oats and they,
00:07:31.78\00:07:35.22
you know, I'll
straighten up when I get older.
00:07:35.25\00:07:37.45
I cannot tell you
how many men of God
00:07:37.49\00:07:40.66
that are elders, or deacons,
00:07:40.69\00:07:42.86
or evangelists, or
pastors that write to us
00:07:42.89\00:07:46.13
and they'll say,
00:07:46.16\00:07:47.63
"I've been married for 20 years
but I can't get this woman,
00:07:47.66\00:07:51.47
these thoughts, these memories,
of this woman out of my mind."
00:07:51.50\00:07:55.17
The first thing I ask is,
00:07:55.20\00:07:57.24
"Were you ever
intimate with them
00:07:57.27\00:07:59.34
in any way, shape, or form?"
00:07:59.37\00:08:01.74
And they'll say, "Yeah,
it was when I was in college
00:08:01.78\00:08:03.81
but I mean, it was 20 years ago.
00:08:03.85\00:08:05.78
I'm happily married, I
don't want these thoughts."
00:08:05.81\00:08:09.68
And I tell them, I say,
00:08:09.72\00:08:11.39
"When you joined
yourself to them,
00:08:11.42\00:08:14.52
there was a tie that was
made, that's called a soul tie.
00:08:14.56\00:08:18.49
You became one with that person,
00:08:18.53\00:08:21.56
and if that person
has got evil spirits
00:08:21.60\00:08:26.53
that are active in their life,
00:08:26.57\00:08:29.14
those spirits now have
legal rights to your life."
00:08:29.17\00:08:35.28
Listen to what the Lord says.
00:08:35.31\00:08:38.88
He talks about a man
being joined to a harlot
00:08:38.91\00:08:41.92
and then listen to what He says,
00:08:41.95\00:08:44.62
"But he that is joined
00:08:44.65\00:08:47.66
unto the Lord is one spirit."
00:08:47.69\00:08:53.33
When we come into
union with Christ,
00:08:53.36\00:08:57.33
the same power and presence
that He had from His father
00:08:57.37\00:09:02.94
is now ours
because we are His bride,
00:09:02.97\00:09:08.08
His flesh, and His bones.
00:09:08.11\00:09:11.11
That is a powerful promise
00:09:11.15\00:09:13.55
and I have found
over the last 10 years
00:09:13.58\00:09:16.58
since we've had our ministry,
00:09:16.62\00:09:18.42
every one of those
people that came to us
00:09:18.45\00:09:20.82
that was in bondage,
00:09:20.86\00:09:23.26
the moment they would
confess and tell the Lord,
00:09:23.29\00:09:27.03
"I'm willing for You
to cut the umbilical cord
00:09:27.06\00:09:30.57
between me and this person.
00:09:30.60\00:09:33.00
To cut the ties,
00:09:33.03\00:09:34.80
I'm willing to give
up all the memories,
00:09:34.84\00:09:38.34
all the
feelings, all the emotions
00:09:38.37\00:09:41.18
that I've held on to
concerning that person."
00:09:41.21\00:09:45.58
The moment they do that
00:09:45.61\00:09:47.28
and they claimed to shed
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ,
00:09:47.32\00:09:50.35
the ties are broken.
00:09:50.39\00:09:52.65
And they call
back and they're like,
00:09:52.69\00:09:54.62
"I'm free for the
first time in 20 or 30 years.
00:09:54.66\00:09:58.43
I'm free, I'm not having dreams,
00:09:58.46\00:10:00.90
I'm not having
thoughts anymore."
00:10:00.93\00:10:03.23
I say, "Praise the
Lord, our God is able."
00:10:03.26\00:10:09.40
So Jesus said His last
prayer before Calvary was,
00:10:09.44\00:10:13.38
"Father, I want them to be one."
00:10:13.41\00:10:16.98
Genesis 3:1-5,
00:10:17.01\00:10:20.58
"Now the serpent was more subtle
00:10:20.62\00:10:23.32
than any beast of the field
which the Lord God had made.
00:10:23.35\00:10:27.96
And he said unto the woman..."
00:10:27.99\00:10:30.86
And I'm
consolidating these texts,
00:10:30.89\00:10:36.46
"He said unto the woman
'Ye shall not surely die,
00:10:36.50\00:10:42.10
for God doth know, that
in the day ye eat thereof,
00:10:42.14\00:10:47.18
then your eyes
shall be opened..."
00:10:47.21\00:10:50.18
Another word for
that is enlightened,
00:10:50.21\00:10:53.25
make a note of that.
00:10:53.28\00:10:55.35
"Then your eyes shall be
opened and you shall be as gods,
00:10:55.38\00:11:01.46
knowing both good and evil."
00:11:01.49\00:11:05.96
The word knowing there
00:11:05.99\00:11:07.33
means able to
discern for yourself.
00:11:07.36\00:11:10.57
What Satan was saying,
00:11:10.60\00:11:12.07
and you can read this
00:11:12.10\00:11:13.44
in Patriarchs and
Prophets Chapter 1.
00:11:13.47\00:11:15.77
He was saying, "If
you'll just taste my words,
00:11:15.80\00:11:20.58
eat the bread
that I'm giving to you,
00:11:20.61\00:11:23.81
you'll find out
that you don't need
00:11:23.85\00:11:26.35
God's divine
influence anymore in your life.
00:11:26.38\00:11:29.62
You don't need to hear that
still small voice telling you
00:11:29.65\00:11:34.09
this is the way
my son or daughter,
00:11:34.12\00:11:36.62
walk ye in it."
00:11:36.66\00:11:38.39
That's what Satan
said in heaven, he told God
00:11:38.43\00:11:44.10
"Your law is
impossible, nobody can keep it."
00:11:44.13\00:11:47.30
Do you know the only way
00:11:47.34\00:11:49.00
that the angels
could keep God's law?
00:11:49.04\00:11:52.34
We're going to show
you a quote tonight,
00:11:52.37\00:11:54.88
Ellen White says in
Desire of Ages, page 161,
00:11:54.91\00:11:58.71
"That from the
beginning of creation
00:11:58.75\00:12:01.75
it was God's purpose
that every created being
00:12:01.78\00:12:06.86
would be a
dwelling place for Him."
00:12:06.89\00:12:11.76
Satan said, "I don't
want you living inside me,
00:12:11.79\00:12:16.13
I'm a big boy, let
go of my hand daddy,
00:12:16.16\00:12:18.93
I can do this on my own."
00:12:18.97\00:12:21.40
And so when Satan was
battling with the issue
00:12:21.44\00:12:24.47
over God's law,
00:12:24.51\00:12:26.04
the reason it was such
a struggle for him was,
00:12:26.07\00:12:28.88
he was trying to
do it on his own,
00:12:28.91\00:12:32.15
and that's what he has
been trying to get mankind
00:12:32.18\00:12:35.85
to do every sins of Eden.
00:12:35.88\00:12:38.69
You can do it on your own,
00:12:38.72\00:12:40.22
you don't need
Him holding your hand.
00:12:40.26\00:12:43.96
Do you know what the
Lord Jesus Christ said
00:12:43.99\00:12:45.86
when He came to this earth?
00:12:45.89\00:12:47.56
It actually says in Isaiah,
00:12:47.60\00:12:49.96
He said, "Daddy,
don't let go of My hand,
00:12:50.00\00:12:54.20
I can do nothing without You.
00:12:54.24\00:12:56.44
Don't let go of My hand."
00:12:56.47\00:12:58.77
And He did that as our example.
00:12:58.81\00:13:02.88
Depend on Him, trust in Him.
00:13:02.91\00:13:06.25
"From eternal ages
it was God's purpose
00:13:09.68\00:13:13.92
that every created being,
00:13:13.96\00:13:17.69
from the bright and
holy seraph or angels to man,
00:13:17.73\00:13:22.60
should be a temple
00:13:22.63\00:13:24.30
for the
indwelling of the Creator."
00:13:24.33\00:13:28.00
That changes everything,
00:13:28.04\00:13:32.77
and it's going to get
better as we go along,
00:13:32.81\00:13:35.68
but to realize
that was God's purpose
00:13:35.71\00:13:38.51
from the very beginning.
00:13:38.55\00:13:41.62
"But because of sin humanity
00:13:41.65\00:13:45.35
ceased to be a temple for God."
00:13:45.39\00:13:49.32
What did Adam and Eve wear?
00:13:49.36\00:13:51.13
What kind of
clothing were they wearing
00:13:51.16\00:13:53.80
before they fell to sin?
00:13:53.83\00:13:56.20
Light, robes of light.
00:13:56.23\00:13:59.37
I want to encourage
you to consider something.
00:13:59.40\00:14:02.34
I don't believe the
robes were something
00:14:02.37\00:14:04.97
that were put on the outside,
00:14:05.01\00:14:08.21
I say it was
because God was dwelling
00:14:08.24\00:14:11.18
within that they were glowing.
00:14:11.21\00:14:14.72
Do you remember what
the Apostle Paul says?
00:14:14.75\00:14:17.19
We have this
treasure in earthen vessels.
00:14:17.22\00:14:23.29
Do you remember
Gideon, they had those torches
00:14:23.32\00:14:26.39
and they had a
clay pot over top.
00:14:26.43\00:14:29.13
What happened when
they burst the clay pot?
00:14:29.16\00:14:33.64
It was brilliant light.
00:14:33.67\00:14:36.30
What happened to
Moses when he came down
00:14:36.34\00:14:38.47
from spending 40 days
00:14:38.51\00:14:39.94
in the presence of
Almighty God and Christ?
00:14:39.97\00:14:43.01
He didn't even realize
00:14:43.04\00:14:44.75
because he was so
filled with God's presence,
00:14:44.78\00:14:48.68
his face was glowing,
00:14:48.72\00:14:50.95
and it was so bright that
the people literally told him,
00:14:50.99\00:14:54.76
"You're gonna have to
put a veil on your face,
00:14:54.79\00:14:57.49
we can't look at you."
00:14:57.53\00:15:00.23
Do you know Daniel
12:1-3, says the very same thing
00:15:00.26\00:15:05.37
is about to happen to all of us.
00:15:05.40\00:15:08.07
It says, "Then
shall be a time of trouble
00:15:08.10\00:15:10.81
such as never was,
00:15:10.84\00:15:12.84
and they that turn
many to righteousness
00:15:12.87\00:15:16.81
shall shine as the firmament."
00:15:16.85\00:15:20.82
I think that's literal
00:15:20.85\00:15:22.35
and when you read
what Ellen White says,
00:15:22.38\00:15:24.42
she says the same thing.
00:15:24.45\00:15:27.22
We will literally
glow, just like Moses did,
00:15:27.26\00:15:30.96
just like Stephen did,
00:15:30.99\00:15:32.49
you remember when they
were about to stone him.
00:15:32.53\00:15:34.96
They said, "His face
looked like an angel's face."
00:15:35.00\00:15:40.00
That wasn't soft and
passive, it was glowing.
00:15:40.04\00:15:44.31
Every time you saw
an angel in the Bible,
00:15:44.34\00:15:47.64
people fell on
their face like dead man.
00:15:47.68\00:15:51.31
It was that much power.
00:15:51.35\00:15:55.05
"Because of sin,
00:15:55.08\00:15:56.85
humanity ceased to
be a temple for God.
00:15:56.89\00:16:01.32
Darkened and defiled by evil,
00:16:01.36\00:16:04.89
the heart of man
no longer revealed
00:16:04.93\00:16:08.46
the glory of the Divine one..."
00:16:08.50\00:16:11.20
Now here's the beautiful part,
00:16:11.23\00:16:14.04
"But by the
incarnation of the Son of God,
00:16:14.07\00:16:19.91
the purpose of
heaven is fulfilled."
00:16:19.94\00:16:24.45
What was the purpose of heaven?
00:16:24.48\00:16:26.75
From eternal ages
it was God's purpose
00:16:26.78\00:16:30.39
that every created
being should be a temple
00:16:30.42\00:16:33.86
for the
indwelling of the Creator.
00:16:33.89\00:16:36.39
Christ became flesh.
00:16:36.42\00:16:40.56
Do you remember John Chapter 2?
00:16:40.60\00:16:43.90
He was there at the temple
and He told the Pharisees,
00:16:43.93\00:16:47.20
He said...
00:16:47.24\00:16:48.57
He saw everybody.
00:16:48.60\00:16:49.94
They thought their temple was
such a magnificent structure.
00:16:49.97\00:16:52.61
He said, "Destroy this
temple and in three days
00:16:52.64\00:16:56.18
I will raise it up."
00:16:56.21\00:16:58.01
And the
unbelieving Jews, they said,
00:16:58.05\00:17:00.15
"It took 46 years for
this temple to be built,
00:17:00.18\00:17:03.65
are you going to
rebuild it in three days?"
00:17:03.69\00:17:06.69
And it says, but this Jesus
00:17:06.72\00:17:08.92
was speaking of
the temple of His body.
00:17:08.96\00:17:13.93
Now let me ask you a question.
00:17:13.96\00:17:16.06
What does the Apostle
Paul tell us about that?
00:17:16.10\00:17:19.63
"Know you not that you
are the body of Christ."
00:17:19.67\00:17:24.34
Ephesians 5: 26,
00:17:24.37\00:17:26.51
"And you are the
temple of the living God."
00:17:26.54\00:17:31.71
Christ did
something as our substitute
00:17:31.75\00:17:35.22
and our surety,
00:17:35.25\00:17:36.92
and if we will take
hold of that by faith,
00:17:36.95\00:17:40.22
we can lay hold
on the promise that
00:17:40.26\00:17:42.69
God will now dwell in us again.
00:17:42.72\00:17:46.19
God designed that
the temple at Jerusalem
00:17:49.36\00:17:52.10
should be a continual
witness and continual witness
00:17:52.13\00:17:59.01
to the high
destiny, open to every soul.
00:17:59.04\00:18:04.51
Jesus said, "Behold,
00:18:04.55\00:18:06.21
I have set
before you an open door,
00:18:06.25\00:18:10.32
the high destiny
opened to every soul.
00:18:10.35\00:18:15.02
But the Jews had not understood
00:18:15.06\00:18:16.93
the significance of the building
00:18:16.96\00:18:18.73
they regarded
with so much pride.
00:18:18.76\00:18:21.66
They did not yield themselves
00:18:21.70\00:18:24.43
as temples for
the Divine Spirit."
00:18:24.47\00:18:28.44
Let me ask you a question.
00:18:28.47\00:18:29.80
Do you remember
what was on the curtains
00:18:29.84\00:18:32.31
inside the temple?
00:18:32.34\00:18:35.04
Angels.
00:18:35.08\00:18:36.71
Were they painted on
the outside of the curtain?
00:18:36.75\00:18:40.82
They were embroidered.
00:18:40.85\00:18:42.98
Now what is the difference
00:18:43.02\00:18:44.35
between me painting on a shirt
and embroidering the shirt?
00:18:44.39\00:18:49.12
Embroidery is
much more expensive.
00:18:49.16\00:18:52.09
Much more expensive
00:18:52.13\00:18:53.83
because the thread is
actually woven into the fabric.
00:18:53.86\00:18:59.90
Now let me share
something with you
00:18:59.93\00:19:01.57
that the Lord revealed to me.
00:19:01.60\00:19:04.87
Do you remember when
Nathanael came to Jesus
00:19:04.91\00:19:11.01
and Jesus told him, you know,
00:19:11.05\00:19:13.92
"I saw you when you're
under the fig tree praying."
00:19:13.95\00:19:16.89
And Nathanael said,
"My Lord and my God."
00:19:16.92\00:19:20.06
And Jesus said, you
think this is something,
00:19:20.09\00:19:23.86
He said, "Hereafter you
will see the angels of God
00:19:23.89\00:19:29.70
ascending and
descending upon the Son of man."
00:19:29.73\00:19:35.70
He was the temple and just
like those curtains had angels
00:19:35.74\00:19:40.88
ascending and
descending upon those curtains,
00:19:40.91\00:19:45.85
that was a shadow of
what God wanted to do
00:19:45.88\00:19:51.25
inside of each of us.
00:19:51.29\00:19:53.49
And Christ said
00:19:53.52\00:19:54.86
"You're going
to see that in Me."
00:19:54.89\00:19:57.56
"Through sin, the temple of God
00:20:02.20\00:20:05.73
which He had builded," not man,
00:20:05.77\00:20:10.11
"which he had
builded for His Own glory,
00:20:10.14\00:20:14.81
was reduced to ruin, it
was fallen and in decay.
00:20:14.84\00:20:20.08
Satan beguiled the holy
pair to their own destruction,
00:20:20.12\00:20:25.22
and he introduced
an element of character
00:20:25.25\00:20:29.19
that was antagonistic to
God and their fellow-creatures."
00:20:29.22\00:20:33.76
That element of character
00:20:33.80\00:20:35.63
was self-centeredness
and selfishness.
00:20:35.66\00:20:38.70
That was unknown in heaven.
00:20:38.73\00:20:41.50
He introduced
that to Adam and Eve.
00:20:41.54\00:20:46.14
Now I want to show you
00:20:46.17\00:20:47.51
the eastern mystical philosophy.
00:20:47.54\00:20:51.71
This is a yellow page ad.
00:20:51.75\00:20:53.45
It could be in any yellow page
anywhere in the United States.
00:20:53.48\00:20:57.85
If you go home tonight,
and you open your yellow pages,
00:20:57.89\00:21:01.46
and you turn to
martial arts or karate,
00:21:01.49\00:21:04.69
I can assure you
you're going to find something
00:21:04.73\00:21:07.60
almost identical to this.
00:21:07.63\00:21:10.83
Self-discipline,
self-confidence, self-esteem,
00:21:10.87\00:21:17.71
honor,
self-control, self-defense.
00:21:17.74\00:21:23.01
What do those
all have in common?
00:21:23.04\00:21:25.21
Self.
00:21:25.25\00:21:27.18
You know I can't find
one place in the Bible
00:21:27.22\00:21:29.48
were it says
anything about self-defense.
00:21:29.52\00:21:32.62
I can't, I can find
promises were God says,
00:21:32.65\00:21:35.76
"I'm your defense."
00:21:35.79\00:21:37.69
I'm not saying that
somebody should lay down
00:21:37.73\00:21:39.83
and watch somebody hurt
their children or their wife,
00:21:39.86\00:21:42.76
but what I am saying is if
you need to defend yourself,
00:21:42.80\00:21:47.17
you can go buy a can
of pepper spray for $25
00:21:47.20\00:21:50.21
at any of these
sporting goods store.
00:21:50.24\00:21:51.71
It takes no training,
there's no occult attachment.
00:21:51.74\00:21:55.78
If you go to martial arts
00:21:55.81\00:21:57.21
'cause you want to learn
to defend yourself and I know
00:21:57.25\00:22:00.05
'cause I taught it,
00:22:00.08\00:22:01.42
I trained in it and
taught it for 25 years.
00:22:01.45\00:22:03.79
You're going to spend on average
00:22:03.82\00:22:05.55
$50 to $80 per
month, two classes per week,
00:22:05.59\00:22:09.42
at least two hours per class.
00:22:09.46\00:22:12.26
And even then you've only
got about a 50 percent chance
00:22:12.29\00:22:15.60
that you're going to win.
00:22:15.63\00:22:18.60
That's not good odds,
00:22:18.63\00:22:20.14
it's a lot of money
and then on top of that
00:22:20.17\00:22:22.44
you've got the occult background
00:22:22.47\00:22:24.47
in those arts.
00:22:24.51\00:22:26.37
If you're afraid for your life,
if you don't have, you know,
00:22:26.41\00:22:29.38
enough faith yet to
believe that God will really do
00:22:29.41\00:22:32.71
what He promised,
buy a pepper spray,
00:22:32.75\00:22:36.08
that's a much
cheaper and much easier way
00:22:36.12\00:22:38.02
to take care of a problem.
00:22:38.05\00:22:40.89
This is a quote out
of the Bhagavad Gita,
00:22:40.92\00:22:43.49
it's the Hindu scriptures
and they're talking about yoga.
00:22:43.53\00:22:48.40
They say, "Yoga is
the journey of self,
00:22:48.43\00:22:52.90
through the self, to the self."
00:22:52.93\00:22:58.71
It's not the
character of our Savior, is it?
00:22:58.74\00:23:01.08
Now I want to tie this together
with what we've seen so far.
00:23:04.65\00:23:10.32
Doctor John Harvey Kellogg,
00:23:10.35\00:23:14.39
when he first began
00:23:14.42\00:23:18.89
voicing publicly
what he believed in,
00:23:18.93\00:23:24.10
his pantheistic views,
00:23:24.13\00:23:27.20
he decided he wanted
the book to be printed
00:23:27.24\00:23:30.54
called "The Living Temple,"
00:23:30.57\00:23:32.07
and the reason he
wanted to print this book,
00:23:32.11\00:23:34.81
he found a good excuse
for it, let me say that.
00:23:34.84\00:23:38.01
The Battle Creek
Sanitarium had burned,
00:23:38.05\00:23:43.18
and Ellen White had
warned that there was potential
00:23:43.22\00:23:47.16
this was going to
happen before it happened.
00:23:47.19\00:23:50.46
You can look that
up in her writings.
00:23:50.49\00:23:52.99
She had warned
because it was becoming a hub
00:23:53.03\00:23:59.07
instead of God's people
00:23:59.10\00:24:01.57
spreading out
throughout the nation
00:24:01.60\00:24:03.97
and throughout the world,
00:24:04.01\00:24:05.47
they were congregating
in one spot and she said,
00:24:05.51\00:24:09.41
"This is not God's will."
00:24:09.44\00:24:11.71
And then with
00:24:11.75\00:24:13.08
what was happening with Kellogg,
00:24:13.11\00:24:14.55
with his pantheism,
00:24:14.58\00:24:16.12
he was beginning to
teach these ideas to the staff,
00:24:16.15\00:24:20.76
to a lot of the other
doctors that were there
00:24:20.79\00:24:23.56
as well as he was having
an influence on A.T. Jones
00:24:23.59\00:24:27.26
and E.J. Waggoner.
00:24:27.30\00:24:29.23
And God burned
00:24:29.26\00:24:32.23
the Battle Creek
Sanitarium to the ground.
00:24:32.27\00:24:36.20
In order to help raise
funds to rebuild the sanitarium,
00:24:36.24\00:24:41.41
which Ellen White
said was not God's will
00:24:41.44\00:24:44.55
that it be done.
00:24:44.58\00:24:46.21
Kellogg said,
00:24:46.25\00:24:47.58
"I've got an idea,
I'll write a book."
00:24:47.62\00:24:50.39
In my feelings, in my heart
00:24:50.42\00:24:52.85
I think he already had the book,
00:24:52.89\00:24:54.49
probably a good
way being completed.
00:24:54.52\00:24:57.56
This was just a good
reason to have it printed,
00:24:57.59\00:25:01.60
so he went to the Review
and Herald Publishing house
00:25:01.63\00:25:05.60
and said, "I want
to have this printed."
00:25:05.63\00:25:08.40
They had the plates on the line,
00:25:08.44\00:25:13.81
they were ready to
start the printing,
00:25:13.84\00:25:16.64
the night that God burned
down the publishing house.
00:25:16.68\00:25:21.62
And Ellen White had
warned about that as well.
00:25:21.65\00:25:25.95
She told him, she
told the publishing house,
00:25:25.99\00:25:29.42
"Don't print this book,
00:25:29.46\00:25:31.06
this book is not
to be published."
00:25:31.09\00:25:33.73
And God burned
00:25:33.76\00:25:35.30
the printing house to
the ground, because of it.
00:25:35.33\00:25:38.33
You know what Kellogg did,
instead of taking the warning
00:25:38.37\00:25:42.87
he went to a secular
publisher and he said,
00:25:42.90\00:25:47.18
"I want the book printed."
00:25:47.21\00:25:48.54
I believe on the first printing
he printed 5,000 copies.
00:25:48.58\00:25:53.08
Anyway, what is startling is,
00:25:53.11\00:25:58.32
the book is now
being printed again.
00:25:58.35\00:26:02.82
I was doing some research
before we started these series
00:26:02.86\00:26:06.83
'cause I thought it was 2015,
00:26:06.86\00:26:09.43
I actually found
where the book...
00:26:09.46\00:26:12.40
The closest or the nearest
one I was able to find was 2009.
00:26:12.43\00:26:17.81
So now it's being printed
00:26:17.84\00:26:20.88
even by
non-Seventh-day Adventists,
00:26:20.91\00:26:23.51
even by non Christians
00:26:23.55\00:26:26.18
and it's being
promoted as a book
00:26:26.21\00:26:29.02
on the everywhereness of
God, the pantheistic ideas.
00:26:29.05\00:26:35.89
So there's many
people that have no interest
00:26:35.92\00:26:39.16
in the Lord God Almighty,
Jehovah, Yahweh, or His Son,
00:26:39.19\00:26:44.43
but yet they're
reading this book
00:26:44.47\00:26:46.30
and they're
passing that out to people
00:26:46.33\00:26:48.30
because of the other
teachings that are included.
00:26:48.34\00:26:52.81
Kellogg and many of the people
00:26:52.84\00:26:55.04
that we saw in
the first evening,
00:26:55.08\00:26:57.65
they were
influenced heavily by Hinduism,
00:26:57.68\00:27:01.02
by Hindu thought,
00:27:01.05\00:27:02.98
so that's why we
want to look at this,
00:27:03.02\00:27:05.09
that's why these books
are being printed again.
00:27:05.12\00:27:09.62
The religion of Hinduism,
00:27:09.66\00:27:14.76
it is a physical as
well as spiritual religion.
00:27:14.80\00:27:19.73
That means, you
know, we are Christians
00:27:19.77\00:27:23.54
and so it's natural for
a Christian to fellowship
00:27:23.57\00:27:27.61
with a congregation or a church.
00:27:27.64\00:27:29.74
We go to church,
we go to Bible study,
00:27:29.78\00:27:32.71
we do things that
a Christian would do.
00:27:32.75\00:27:35.22
In Hinduism
00:27:35.25\00:27:36.99
the physical
activity is called yoga.
00:27:37.02\00:27:41.12
You cannot
separate the stretching
00:27:41.16\00:27:45.03
from the religion.
00:27:45.06\00:27:47.20
It's impossible
00:27:47.23\00:27:48.56
and there's a very
powerful documentary
00:27:48.60\00:27:51.20
a lady had done a few years ago.
00:27:51.23\00:27:54.10
The video is
called Yoga Uncoiled.
00:27:54.14\00:27:57.51
The lady that did it,
she passed away recently,
00:27:57.54\00:28:01.74
strong Christian,
00:28:01.78\00:28:03.11
she was one of our faith
but if you're interested,
00:28:03.14\00:28:07.25
she did a lot of research,
00:28:07.28\00:28:08.78
she actually had spent
the first 20 years of her life
00:28:08.82\00:28:11.45
involved in this.
00:28:11.49\00:28:13.66
But what she found was
is through the interviews
00:28:13.69\00:28:18.19
with Hindu gurus
and with Indian people
00:28:18.23\00:28:24.50
that had given
their lives to Christ
00:28:24.53\00:28:27.40
that used to be
Hindu yogis and gurus.
00:28:27.44\00:28:32.61
And they said,
00:28:32.64\00:28:33.98
"You cannot
separate Hinduism from yoga."
00:28:34.01\00:28:38.48
When you go to many
of the yoga websites,
00:28:38.51\00:28:41.68
they will tell you, this
is their words, they say,
00:28:41.72\00:28:45.59
"Our goal is to evangelize
the world with Hinduism.
00:28:45.62\00:28:51.63
And we have
succeeded the greatest success
00:28:51.66\00:28:55.36
in the western states.
00:28:55.40\00:28:57.90
We've achieved
the greatest success."
00:28:57.93\00:29:00.84
And the reason they
attribute their success
00:29:00.87\00:29:03.44
is because they say,
00:29:03.47\00:29:04.91
they have a church
on every street corner,
00:29:04.94\00:29:07.24
it's called a yoga studio.
00:29:07.28\00:29:10.21
That's where their
religion is taught.
00:29:10.25\00:29:13.52
Yoga has become mainstream.
00:29:13.55\00:29:16.72
You see there
00:29:16.75\00:29:18.09
on the left hand
side of the page,
00:29:18.12\00:29:20.02
there's a book
written by Laura Staton
00:29:20.06\00:29:22.69
and Sarah Perron
called "Baby Om."
00:29:22.72\00:29:26.70
When people chant that mantra...
00:29:26.73\00:29:30.57
A mantra is not
just a word repeated,
00:29:30.60\00:29:33.10
it's a Hindu word,
it's a Sanskrit word,
00:29:33.13\00:29:36.81
it means a word that
is voiced for a sound
00:29:36.84\00:29:40.01
that is voiced
repeatedly in order to channel
00:29:40.04\00:29:44.45
or invoke a Hindu deity.
00:29:44.48\00:29:48.25
When they say Om,
00:29:48.28\00:29:50.89
they are actually channeling
what's known as the sun god
00:29:50.92\00:29:55.32
by the Hindus, the
Buddhist and the Daoist.
00:29:55.36\00:29:59.03
This book is "Baby Om,
yoga for mothers and babies."
00:29:59.06\00:30:04.07
They've got books out now
for mothers that are pregnant,
00:30:04.10\00:30:07.37
on how to do yoga,
00:30:07.40\00:30:08.74
so the child is coming
out of the womb already
00:30:08.77\00:30:13.27
under the
influence of evil spirits.
00:30:13.31\00:30:19.15
If you look at
the center pictures,
00:30:19.18\00:30:21.08
this is a picture
of a very popular tea,
00:30:21.12\00:30:24.32
natural herbal tea.
00:30:24.35\00:30:26.25
You may be able to find
this at any grocery store.
00:30:26.29\00:30:28.72
Every grocery store
I've been in this country,
00:30:28.76\00:30:31.69
I've been able to find
them it's called Yogi Tea.
00:30:31.73\00:30:36.33
They have
changed their packaging
00:30:36.36\00:30:38.63
in recent years, used to
be this is what it looked like
00:30:38.67\00:30:42.84
four or five years ago.
00:30:42.87\00:30:45.14
They have downplayed
00:30:45.17\00:30:48.68
the blatant
religion on the front,
00:30:48.71\00:30:52.21
but if you turn to
the side of the box,
00:30:52.25\00:30:54.38
every single box has
got yoga instructions
00:30:54.42\00:30:59.65
on how to do a pose, or a
yoga, or a Hindu scripture
00:30:59.69\00:31:03.76
on the side of every box.
00:31:03.79\00:31:06.33
Now what's interesting is,
00:31:06.36\00:31:08.20
on the front of this
one is on this coffee
00:31:08.23\00:31:11.93
or tea mug is a black elephant.
00:31:11.97\00:31:15.40
And they make
yoga in Hinduism out
00:31:15.44\00:31:19.01
as if it's this beautiful thing.
00:31:19.04\00:31:21.61
Even back in the 1800s
00:31:21.64\00:31:23.41
when I read some of
the enlightenment teachers
00:31:23.45\00:31:26.82
and the transcendental
teachers like Henry Thoreau,
00:31:26.85\00:31:30.49
and some of the others,
00:31:30.52\00:31:32.39
and they talked about
Hinduism and in India,
00:31:32.42\00:31:35.66
like it was the grand
ultimate of everything.
00:31:35.69\00:31:40.10
Let me show you a little
of what their gods look like.
00:31:40.13\00:31:45.33
Here in the center is Ganesh,
00:31:45.37\00:31:48.24
That's the Hindu elephant God,
00:31:48.27\00:31:52.44
That's the one that you saw
on the front of that tea mug.
00:31:52.47\00:31:55.84
Over to the
left is a monkey god,
00:31:55.88\00:31:59.18
where it's the
amalgamation of man with animal.
00:31:59.21\00:32:03.95
You have a monkey's
face on a human body,
00:32:03.99\00:32:06.62
you have an
elephant's head on a human body.
00:32:06.65\00:32:09.49
Over to the far right,
00:32:09.52\00:32:11.56
those are men that
are known as god man,
00:32:11.59\00:32:14.63
they are supposed to
have entered into nirvana.
00:32:14.66\00:32:18.70
They have achieved that state
of nothingness in this world,
00:32:18.73\00:32:23.74
that means complete possession.
00:32:23.77\00:32:26.17
And we look at that and we say,
"How can people look at that
00:32:26.21\00:32:30.18
and think that is
a beautiful thing?"
00:32:30.21\00:32:32.51
Why would you want that?
00:32:32.55\00:32:35.52
India, their religion
is a very sensual religion,
00:32:35.55\00:32:42.12
that's why I
don't encourage people
00:32:42.16\00:32:44.09
to do a lot of research on yoga.
00:32:44.13\00:32:46.36
You've got to be
careful, you've got to pray,
00:32:46.39\00:32:48.43
because if you type in yoga
00:32:48.46\00:32:50.57
almost every ad
that's gonna come up
00:32:50.60\00:32:52.70
is going to be sensual.
00:32:52.73\00:32:54.50
I mean most of the people
00:32:54.54\00:32:55.87
that are
involved in yoga classes,
00:32:55.90\00:32:57.61
they have these yoga
pants, which are spray paint.
00:32:57.64\00:33:01.71
It's pretty much like
what a superhero would wear.
00:33:01.74\00:33:04.68
You sprayed this stuff
on and you're wearing that.
00:33:04.71\00:33:08.35
Why would you
have to wear something
00:33:08.38\00:33:09.88
that's so skin
tight to practice yoga?
00:33:09.92\00:33:13.46
Why not wear something
that's loose and baggy.
00:33:13.49\00:33:15.89
It seems like it would be
easier to stretch that way.
00:33:15.92\00:33:19.79
Many of the advertisements
that will have men and women
00:33:19.83\00:33:23.67
where much more of their body
00:33:23.70\00:33:26.17
is exposed than
is right morally.
00:33:26.20\00:33:30.14
So the religion
itself is very sensual,
00:33:30.17\00:33:34.81
but yet when you talk to people
that have worked in India,
00:33:34.84\00:33:38.88
many of the cities are filthy.
00:33:38.91\00:33:42.88
I mean they're filthy
00:33:42.92\00:33:44.92
because of the way
00:33:44.95\00:33:46.29
that religion classifies people.
00:33:46.32\00:33:48.79
People that are on the bottom,
00:33:48.82\00:33:50.43
you're not
supposed to help them,
00:33:50.46\00:33:51.89
because they
believe in reincarnation.
00:33:51.93\00:33:54.53
And if you help that person,
00:33:54.56\00:33:57.07
then you're not allowing them
00:33:57.10\00:33:58.43
to pay for their
sins on their own,
00:33:58.47\00:34:01.20
and that means, when
they get reincarnated,
00:34:01.24\00:34:03.27
they're going to have
to go through it again,
00:34:03.30\00:34:05.47
so they leave
people where they are.
00:34:05.51\00:34:07.81
The word yoga, etymologically
00:34:11.25\00:34:15.02
it is connected to
the English word yoke.
00:34:15.05\00:34:19.22
Tell me a Bible verse
that uses the word yoke.
00:34:19.25\00:34:23.96
"Come unto me,
all you that labor
00:34:23.99\00:34:25.93
and are heavy laden
and I will give you rest,
00:34:25.96\00:34:28.96
take my yoke upon
you and learn of me,
00:34:29.00\00:34:34.54
for I am meek
and lowly in heart."
00:34:34.57\00:34:38.17
The word yoga in the Sanskrit,
00:34:38.21\00:34:41.98
Hindu language means
union with the Brahma,
00:34:42.01\00:34:47.05
that's the Hindu God or
union of the little ego-self
00:34:47.08\00:34:52.19
with the divine
Self, the infinite Spirit.
00:34:52.22\00:34:56.29
Yoga is primarily a
spiritual discipline.
00:34:56.32\00:35:01.86
That's from
Anada Sanga Worldwide.
00:35:01.90\00:35:05.10
They are one of the
largest yoga organizations
00:35:05.13\00:35:08.84
in the world.
00:35:08.87\00:35:10.21
And they tell you,
00:35:10.24\00:35:11.71
we have all kinds of
Christians that will tell us,
00:35:11.74\00:35:13.88
no, it's just
physical, it's just stretching,
00:35:13.91\00:35:17.45
but they say otherwise,
00:35:17.48\00:35:19.75
they tell you it is primarily
a spiritual discipline.
00:35:19.78\00:35:25.52
"According to a
recent USA Today study,
00:35:25.55\00:35:28.76
yoga has grown to be
a $27 billion industry,
00:35:28.79\00:35:35.53
with an estimated 20
million practitioners
00:35:35.56\00:35:38.87
in the United
States of America alone."
00:35:38.90\00:35:42.84
I can remember 20 years ago,
00:35:42.87\00:35:45.14
if you wanted to find
stuff for practicing yoga,
00:35:45.17\00:35:49.81
you had to go to a yoga school.
00:35:49.84\00:35:52.35
Now you can go to any Walmart,
00:35:52.38\00:35:54.32
and they've got
almost an entire aisle
00:35:54.35\00:35:56.95
of just paraphernalia for yoga,
videos, and books, and mats,
00:35:56.99\00:36:02.92
and clothing, and whatever,
00:36:02.96\00:36:05.83
and many doctors
are now promoting it.
00:36:05.86\00:36:08.56
It's being brought into
Christian churches as well.
00:36:08.60\00:36:12.90
It makes yoga one of
the fastest growing health
00:36:12.93\00:36:16.20
and fitness
activities in the world.
00:36:16.24\00:36:19.04
This was a special issue
in 2003 of Time Magazine,
00:36:19.07\00:36:24.08
and it says how your
mind can heal your body,
00:36:24.11\00:36:28.48
and as this lady
doing the yoga pose.
00:36:28.52\00:36:31.92
People are looking at
this and they're saying,
00:36:31.95\00:36:36.89
"The devil has let
the pendulum swing,
00:36:36.93\00:36:39.76
he took us over here
00:36:39.79\00:36:41.40
to where it was strict legalism,
00:36:41.43\00:36:44.50
and there was no experiencing
the presence of God,
00:36:44.53\00:36:48.40
and he knew, if I can
get people over there,
00:36:48.44\00:36:52.44
it will only last so long
and it will swing full swing
00:36:52.47\00:36:56.11
to the other side,
00:36:56.14\00:36:57.48
and they will be
willing to accept
00:36:57.51\00:36:59.81
any kind of experience."
00:36:59.85\00:37:02.05
That's why Satan
inspired communism.
00:37:02.08\00:37:07.49
He knew in
communism there was no God.
00:37:07.52\00:37:10.63
It was a
secular, you know, nation,
00:37:10.66\00:37:13.50
all of Europe that was
under communism and Russia.
00:37:13.53\00:37:17.87
Now the people are
starving for spirituality,
00:37:17.90\00:37:22.87
and that's why
Satan is able to find
00:37:22.90\00:37:25.81
easy access to them.
00:37:25.84\00:37:27.74
They were so dry that
now they'll drink anything
00:37:27.78\00:37:32.01
that's offered to them.
00:37:32.05\00:37:33.58
While those who are
devoted to these sciences,
00:37:37.02\00:37:40.06
laud them to the heavens
00:37:40.09\00:37:42.59
because of the
great and good works
00:37:42.62\00:37:45.29
which they affirm
are wrought by them,
00:37:45.33\00:37:48.66
they know little what a power
for evil they are cherishing.
00:37:48.70\00:37:54.77
But it is a power
00:37:54.80\00:37:56.57
which will yet work
00:37:56.60\00:37:57.94
with all signs
and lying wonders,
00:37:57.97\00:38:01.38
with all deceivableness
of unrighteousness.
00:38:01.41\00:38:05.71
Mark the influence of
these sciences, dear reader,
00:38:05.75\00:38:10.72
for the conflict
between Christ and Satan
00:38:10.75\00:38:14.19
is not yet ended."
00:38:14.22\00:38:18.99
This is a movie that
came out a number of years ago
00:38:19.03\00:38:21.80
called Avatar.
00:38:21.83\00:38:23.16
Has anyone here
ever heard of it before?
00:38:23.20\00:38:26.84
It was one of the
largest grossing films
00:38:26.87\00:38:30.24
that has ever been produced.
00:38:30.27\00:38:32.74
The graphics and
the special effects,
00:38:32.77\00:38:36.24
they have never seen
this type of work before,
00:38:36.28\00:38:39.25
it was produced
by James Cameron.
00:38:39.28\00:38:42.22
I'm not sure if he
was director and producer,
00:38:42.25\00:38:44.95
but I know it was his film.
00:38:44.99\00:38:46.52
He was the one that
was given credit for it.
00:38:46.55\00:38:50.03
In this film
00:38:50.06\00:38:51.39
and I do not
recommend anybody go see it,
00:38:51.43\00:38:53.96
not even for
examination, I've never seen it.
00:38:54.00\00:38:57.60
I've done reading
about it and that was enough.
00:38:57.63\00:39:01.60
In this film mankind found out
00:39:01.64\00:39:05.97
that our planet
was gonna be destroyed,
00:39:06.01\00:39:09.18
that we were at some
sort of crisis point,
00:39:09.21\00:39:12.88
and so we started
looking for another planet
00:39:12.91\00:39:15.28
that we could survive on.
00:39:15.32\00:39:17.02
And mankind
found another planet,
00:39:17.05\00:39:19.95
but it was inhabited
by these blue creatures,
00:39:19.99\00:39:24.53
and these blue
creatures were sort of like
00:39:24.56\00:39:28.70
the Native American Indians.
00:39:28.73\00:39:30.37
They weren't very happy about us
00:39:30.40\00:39:32.20
showing up on their
doorstep, and what man did,
00:39:32.23\00:39:37.04
what humanity
did, was they said,
00:39:37.07\00:39:40.48
we're trying to fight them,
00:39:40.51\00:39:43.14
but we're not winning,
we're on their territory.
00:39:43.18\00:39:47.22
So they came up
with an idea, they said,
00:39:47.25\00:39:49.88
"If we can blend a human being
00:39:49.92\00:39:54.56
with one of them,
00:39:54.59\00:39:57.39
his mind, the humans
inside of their body,
00:39:57.43\00:40:02.80
we can then destroy
them from the inside out.
00:40:02.83\00:40:09.10
That sounds demonic, doesn't it?
00:40:09.14\00:40:12.51
What was scary was that
after the movie's huge success,
00:40:12.54\00:40:17.18
I found CNN,
00:40:17.21\00:40:19.31
they had an
article on their website
00:40:19.35\00:40:21.42
and may still be available,
00:40:21.45\00:40:23.05
if you type in Avatar
CNN see what it brings up.
00:40:23.08\00:40:28.89
On this blog that
CNN, the news broadcaster,
00:40:28.92\00:40:35.23
they said, "This
film has caused something
00:40:35.26\00:40:39.80
to come across our desk
that we've never seen before."
00:40:39.83\00:40:44.37
They said, "We are
receiving thousands of e-mails
00:40:44.41\00:40:49.28
and letters from people
that went to see the film
00:40:49.31\00:40:52.41
and they're all saying
00:40:52.45\00:40:54.25
that they are now
having suicidal thoughts
00:40:54.28\00:40:57.35
after seeing the film,
00:40:57.39\00:40:59.42
they had never
experienced this before.
00:40:59.45\00:41:02.49
What CNN said was,
00:41:02.52\00:41:05.43
"The only thing we
can attribute this to is
00:41:05.46\00:41:10.00
the environment, and the world
that was portrayed in that film
00:41:10.03\00:41:14.87
was so surreal,
00:41:14.90\00:41:17.34
that when people
who came out of the film
00:41:17.37\00:41:19.14
and they saw a real
life it was a letdown,
00:41:19.17\00:41:23.14
that's what CNN said.
00:41:23.18\00:41:25.48
I don't think it was that.
00:41:25.51\00:41:27.65
I think there was more happening
00:41:27.68\00:41:29.52
behind the mask in Hollywood
than what they realize.
00:41:29.55\00:41:35.72
When you see where the
idea came from for Avatar
00:41:35.76\00:41:40.36
it will startle you,
and just to let you know,
00:41:40.40\00:41:44.63
if anybody here is
involved in social media?
00:41:44.67\00:41:48.07
Have you ever seen that word
in social media before, Avatar?
00:41:48.10\00:41:52.11
If you sign up
for a Facebook page,
00:41:52.14\00:41:54.48
it's going to ask
you to choose an avatar,
00:41:54.51\00:41:57.11
that means a
symbol to represent you.
00:41:57.15\00:42:00.15
If you go to Twitter,
00:42:00.18\00:42:01.72
or if you go to Facebook,
if you go to WordPress,
00:42:01.75\00:42:06.49
if you go on any of those,
00:42:06.52\00:42:08.49
they will ask you
to choose an avatar,
00:42:08.52\00:42:11.53
and you can pick
one that they offer,
00:42:11.56\00:42:13.63
or you can go online
00:42:13.66\00:42:15.13
and you can buy
different images,
00:42:15.16\00:42:17.47
or you can just put
a picture of yourself.
00:42:17.50\00:42:20.27
But they actually
call it by this Hindu name,
00:42:20.30\00:42:24.47
an Avatar, the word in
Sanskrit and literally means,
00:42:24.51\00:42:29.68
those who descended
or fell from the heavens.
00:42:29.71\00:42:33.82
That's what the word
Avatar means on their website.
00:42:33.85\00:42:39.09
I looked it up on
a Hindu dictionary,
00:42:39.12\00:42:42.29
that is the
definition of the word,
00:42:42.32\00:42:45.66
those who descended
or fell from the heavens.
00:42:45.69\00:42:50.27
Now these are
actual real Hindu avatar,
00:42:50.30\00:42:56.30
on the left you see the statue,
the idol, it's a blue man,
00:42:56.34\00:43:01.88
he has a cobra
00:43:01.91\00:43:03.24
that is wrapped around his neck.
00:43:03.28\00:43:05.88
That's what the
devil always says,"
00:43:05.91\00:43:07.68
Look, I'm really
not gonna bite you,
00:43:07.72\00:43:09.75
I'm not gonna hurt
you, you won't surely die,
00:43:09.78\00:43:13.12
so he hangs
loosely about the neck,
00:43:13.15\00:43:16.12
but he's like a boa,
00:43:16.16\00:43:18.09
he's slowly drawing
the noose closer and closer
00:43:18.13\00:43:23.16
until he's able to
squeeze off all the oxygen.
00:43:23.20\00:43:27.67
Now what is air a
symbol of in the Bible?
00:43:27.70\00:43:31.61
God's Spirit.
00:43:31.64\00:43:33.88
Do you know that
people that have pride,
00:43:33.91\00:43:38.65
they often struggle
00:43:38.68\00:43:40.98
with being able to
believe God's promises.
00:43:41.02\00:43:45.75
Pride is a spirit that
is very similar to that,
00:43:45.79\00:43:50.69
it cuts off the connection
00:43:50.73\00:43:52.86
between the brain and the heart.
00:43:52.89\00:43:55.43
So you can read the Bible
00:43:55.46\00:43:57.50
and you can even understand
the Greek and the Hebrew,
00:43:57.53\00:44:01.30
but you have a
very difficult time
00:44:01.34\00:44:03.81
believing, and
sensing, and knowing,
00:44:03.84\00:44:08.48
and feeling God's love,
and His presence in your life.
00:44:08.51\00:44:13.11
And Satan's content
with head knowledge,
00:44:13.15\00:44:16.12
but he doesn't want it
making it to the heart.
00:44:16.15\00:44:18.35
Because once
the heart is gained,
00:44:18.39\00:44:21.02
surrender comes
and Christ reigns.
00:44:21.06\00:44:25.29
Now if you look over
00:44:25.33\00:44:26.66
on the right
hand side of the page,
00:44:26.70\00:44:29.00
this is an old
depiction of another Avatar.
00:44:29.03\00:44:33.50
Remember, the word Avatar
means those that came down
00:44:33.54\00:44:36.50
or fell from heaven.
00:44:36.54\00:44:37.97
Not all angels look the same,
00:44:38.01\00:44:41.44
not all demons
are fallen angels,
00:44:41.48\00:44:43.88
or evil spirits or,
they're not cookie cutter,
00:44:43.91\00:44:47.35
they all have different ranks,
00:44:47.38\00:44:49.02
they have
different organization,
00:44:49.05\00:44:50.95
they have different skills,
00:44:50.99\00:44:52.49
even Ellen White
talks about that.
00:44:52.52\00:44:54.66
Some of them, they
influence Hollywood,
00:44:54.69\00:44:57.09
some of them, their job
is to influence writing.
00:44:57.13\00:45:00.33
Read that book by Roger Monroe,
"A Trip into the Supernatural."
00:45:00.36\00:45:03.73
He tells the exact same thing,
00:45:03.77\00:45:05.83
they have
different fallen angels
00:45:05.87\00:45:08.37
that give different gifts,
they have different operation.
00:45:08.40\00:45:13.94
This one on the right,
she's holding a symbol,
00:45:13.98\00:45:18.38
a medallion, that's
also known as a mudra,
00:45:18.41\00:45:24.32
not a mantra but a mudra.
00:45:24.35\00:45:26.02
It's a symbol that's
used like a talisman.
00:45:26.05\00:45:28.59
It opens the door and
it invokes fallen spirits.
00:45:28.62\00:45:32.76
She's holding this in her hand.
00:45:32.79\00:45:35.16
It's a six pointed star
00:45:35.20\00:45:37.00
with a circle in
the middle of it.
00:45:37.03\00:45:39.23
Many people think
that's the Star of David.
00:45:39.27\00:45:42.07
Even though the
Bible tells us clearly,
00:45:42.10\00:45:45.71
God never ever once used
00:45:45.74\00:45:50.28
that symbol for His people.
00:45:50.31\00:45:53.08
The only record we can
find of a Hebrew person
00:45:53.11\00:45:57.55
using that
symbol is in a bad way.
00:45:57.59\00:46:02.86
The Book of Acts
and also I believe Amos
00:46:02.89\00:46:05.56
talks about the
children of Israel
00:46:05.59\00:46:07.96
worshiping the god
Moloch and his star.
00:46:08.00\00:46:12.47
And then there
are occult records
00:46:12.50\00:46:14.24
that talk about King Solomon,
00:46:14.27\00:46:16.60
when he went into apostasy
00:46:16.64\00:46:18.47
and he was worshiping
all the host of heaven,
00:46:18.51\00:46:21.44
they say that he...
00:46:21.48\00:46:23.31
The Bible does it.
00:46:23.35\00:46:24.68
But the occult says
he used this symbol.
00:46:24.71\00:46:27.52
It was used as a seal
to open and close doorways
00:46:27.55\00:46:31.55
to the spirit world.
00:46:31.59\00:46:34.19
Now what's amazing to me
00:46:34.22\00:46:35.62
is this painting
is an old depiction.
00:46:35.66\00:46:39.59
You see the four
children, she's holding red,
00:46:39.63\00:46:44.23
and yellow, and
black, and white,
00:46:44.27\00:46:47.24
all are precious in His sight.
00:46:47.27\00:46:50.87
You remember that song,
00:46:50.91\00:46:52.24
Jesus loves the little children.
00:46:52.27\00:46:54.48
She's holding all the children
of the world in her arms,
00:46:54.51\00:46:59.31
she is feeding them.
00:46:59.35\00:47:03.75
That's what that
picture is saying.
00:47:03.79\00:47:06.39
She is giving
them their nourishment
00:47:06.42\00:47:11.13
and she's
holding this symbol up.
00:47:11.16\00:47:15.30
Now look at this man,
this is Pope Benedict.
00:47:15.33\00:47:19.50
Do you see what's on his tiara?
00:47:19.53\00:47:22.27
The exact same symbol.
00:47:22.30\00:47:27.24
The word
Catholic means universal
00:47:27.28\00:47:31.45
and we talked about
this on the first night,
00:47:31.48\00:47:34.28
in order for Rome to
bring all of her children home,
00:47:34.32\00:47:39.32
she has to have common
ground with each of them,
00:47:39.35\00:47:43.93
you see that same symbol.
00:47:43.96\00:47:47.10
They see that
symbol and they know
00:47:47.13\00:47:50.10
that he worships the
same gods that they do.
00:47:50.13\00:47:52.67
This is a Japanese grandmaster,
his name was Morihei Ueshiba,
00:47:55.87\00:48:00.81
he was the founder of Aikido.
00:48:00.84\00:48:03.48
He said, "Each and every master,
00:48:03.51\00:48:06.45
regardless of
the era or the place,
00:48:06.48\00:48:10.25
heard the call
and attained harmony
00:48:10.29\00:48:14.06
with heaven and earth."
00:48:14.09\00:48:16.73
Then he says,
00:48:16.76\00:48:18.09
"There are many paths leading
to the top of Mount Fuji,
00:48:18.13\00:48:22.86
but there is only
one summit, love."
00:48:22.90\00:48:27.34
In our next meeting,
00:48:27.37\00:48:28.74
I'm gonna show
you a short video clip
00:48:28.77\00:48:31.54
that will startle you.
00:48:31.57\00:48:32.91
Remember this, when
you see that video clip.
00:48:32.94\00:48:37.28
He went on to say,
00:48:37.31\00:48:38.65
"Everyone has a
spirit that can be refined,
00:48:38.68\00:48:42.48
a body that can be
trained in some manner,
00:48:42.52\00:48:45.89
and a suitable path to follow."
00:48:45.92\00:48:49.49
Then he says, "You are here
00:48:49.52\00:48:51.36
to realize your inner divinity
00:48:51.39\00:48:55.06
and to manifest your
innate enlightenment."
00:48:55.10\00:49:00.70
This is what the occult
00:49:00.74\00:49:02.44
and what the
eastern mystical religions
00:49:02.47\00:49:04.87
are trying to get men to do.
00:49:04.91\00:49:06.98
They're saying,
00:49:07.01\00:49:08.34
"You don't need Christ,
you can do this on your own."
00:49:08.38\00:49:13.55
Last night when we were talking,
00:49:13.58\00:49:15.42
we read a quote from
Ellen White, She said,
00:49:15.45\00:49:18.22
"These theories make of
none effect the Atonement
00:49:18.25\00:49:24.93
at one-ment that
Christ has made for us."
00:49:24.96\00:49:29.13
We were made one again with God
00:49:29.16\00:49:33.50
through Christ Jesus.
00:49:33.54\00:49:36.27
If you think that
God is already in you
00:49:36.30\00:49:39.84
and you already are a God,
00:49:39.87\00:49:41.81
and all you have to do
is breathe a certain way,
00:49:41.84\00:49:44.95
or say these mantras,
or do these stretches,
00:49:44.98\00:49:48.15
then you don't need Christ.
00:49:48.18\00:49:50.79
And the Bible says,
00:49:50.82\00:49:52.19
"No man comes to
the Father but by Me."
00:49:52.22\00:49:55.92
Satan is leaving
millions to destruction.
00:49:55.96\00:50:02.00
"The sophistries
regarding God and nature
00:50:02.03\00:50:06.13
that are flooding
the world with skepticism
00:50:06.17\00:50:09.44
are the
inspiration of the fallen foe,
00:50:09.47\00:50:12.87
who is himself a Bible student,
00:50:12.91\00:50:15.88
who knows the truth
00:50:15.91\00:50:17.81
that is essential for
the people to receive..."
00:50:17.85\00:50:21.78
Satan is not stupid.
00:50:21.82\00:50:24.55
He knows what has to
be done within our lives.
00:50:24.59\00:50:31.43
That's why he has been fighting
00:50:31.46\00:50:34.13
since the 1800s to counterfeit
00:50:34.16\00:50:40.20
the third angel's message
of righteousness by faith.
00:50:40.24\00:50:43.61
That's why when you
turn the television on
00:50:43.64\00:50:46.27
after 7 o'clock in the evening,
00:50:46.31\00:50:48.48
you see one commercial
after another advertising food
00:50:48.51\00:50:53.52
that will put you
in an early grave.
00:50:53.55\00:50:56.12
And people go,
"Well, I can't stop myself
00:50:56.15\00:50:58.09
from eating at 10
o'clock at night."
00:50:58.12\00:50:59.85
What's pleasure,
00:50:59.89\00:51:01.22
you've been watching
it on television all night
00:51:01.26\00:51:02.99
and Satan knows that.
00:51:03.02\00:51:06.26
Do you know how
difficult it is for us
00:51:06.29\00:51:08.26
to comprehend biblical truth
00:51:08.30\00:51:10.57
when we are
yielding to intemperance?
00:51:10.60\00:51:14.34
Satan was working on both
sides to destroy the truth
00:51:14.37\00:51:20.41
that is essential for
the people to receive.
00:51:20.44\00:51:24.28
"And it is his
study to divert minds
00:51:24.31\00:51:28.15
from the great truths
given to prepare them,
00:51:28.18\00:51:31.75
for what is
coming upon the world.
00:51:31.79\00:51:34.66
After the
passing of time in 1844,
00:51:34.69\00:51:38.73
we had fanaticism
of every kind to meet.
00:51:38.76\00:51:42.86
Testimonies of reproof
were given to me to bear
00:51:42.90\00:51:46.60
to some holding
spiritualistic theories."
00:51:46.63\00:51:51.21
"Corruptions of every type,
00:51:51.24\00:51:54.21
similar to those existing
among the antediluvians,
00:51:54.24\00:51:59.58
will be brought in
to take minds captive.
00:51:59.61\00:52:04.05
The exaltation of nature as God,
00:52:04.09\00:52:08.72
the unrestrained
license of the human will,
00:52:08.76\00:52:13.60
the counsel of the ungodly,
00:52:13.63\00:52:16.63
these Satan uses as agencies
to bring about a certain ends.
00:52:16.67\00:52:22.80
He will employ the power of mind
00:52:22.84\00:52:25.87
over mind to
carry out his designs."
00:52:25.91\00:52:31.55
The most
sorrowful thought of all is,
00:52:31.58\00:52:34.75
that under his
deceptive influence
00:52:34.78\00:52:37.69
men will have a
form of godliness
00:52:37.72\00:52:41.59
without having a
real connection with God.
00:52:41.62\00:52:48.06
"Like Adam and
Eve who ate the fruit
00:52:48.10\00:52:50.50
from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil,
00:52:50.53\00:52:53.44
many are even now feeding upon
the deceptive morsels of error.
00:52:53.47\00:52:59.14
The experience of the
past will be repeated.
00:52:59.17\00:53:04.35
In the future
Satan superstitions
00:53:04.38\00:53:06.82
will assume new forms.
00:53:06.85\00:53:09.18
Errors will be presented
00:53:09.22\00:53:11.29
in a pleasing and
flattering manner.
00:53:11.32\00:53:14.66
False theories,
00:53:14.69\00:53:16.02
clothed with garments of light,
00:53:16.06\00:53:17.43
will be
presented to God's people,
00:53:17.46\00:53:20.06
and thus Satan
will try to deceive,
00:53:20.10\00:53:22.63
if possible, the very elect."
00:53:22.66\00:53:25.93
Now listen to what she says,
00:53:25.97\00:53:28.44
"Most seducing
influences will be exerted,
00:53:28.47\00:53:33.04
minds will be hypnotized."
00:53:33.07\00:53:37.65
When we talk about hypnosis,
00:53:40.88\00:53:45.25
and we mention
this the other night,
00:53:45.29\00:53:48.86
this hypnosis is
something that is being used
00:53:48.89\00:53:54.43
not only by
pastors in our churches,
00:53:54.46\00:53:57.37
but all churches. It's called
Neuro-linguistic programming.
00:53:57.40\00:54:03.04
It's being taught to
martial arts instructors.
00:54:03.07\00:54:07.31
One of my best friends,
00:54:07.34\00:54:09.18
I've been friends
with him for years,
00:54:09.21\00:54:11.15
high level martial artist.
00:54:11.18\00:54:14.45
I went to see him one time
00:54:14.48\00:54:16.92
because I had a school
00:54:16.95\00:54:18.49
and he had a
school longer than I.
00:54:18.52\00:54:21.52
We've been in the arts
almost the same amount of time,
00:54:21.56\00:54:24.76
but he had opened his
own school before I had,
00:54:24.79\00:54:28.13
and his school was
growing, and it was a really...
00:54:28.16\00:54:31.27
It was a big success.
00:54:31.30\00:54:33.27
And I went down to see him
00:54:33.30\00:54:34.64
because we
always exchanged ideas,
00:54:34.67\00:54:36.60
he trained in some
arts that I didn't train in,
00:54:36.64\00:54:39.04
and there were some
things that I had learned
00:54:39.07\00:54:41.08
that he hadn't had
exposure to, so we shared
00:54:41.11\00:54:44.08
what we were learning.
00:54:44.11\00:54:45.51
And I went down
to see him one time
00:54:45.55\00:54:47.32
and he told me something.
00:54:47.35\00:54:48.85
He said, Eric, he said,
00:54:48.88\00:54:50.22
"We need to sit down
and talk about your school."
00:54:50.25\00:54:51.75
I said, "I would love,
00:54:51.79\00:54:53.12
you know whatever
advice you can give me."
00:54:53.15\00:54:55.29
He said, "I went to a meeting
00:54:55.32\00:54:58.23
with some other masters here
in the area, where he lived,
00:54:58.26\00:55:03.10
a large city in the
southern United States.
00:55:03.13\00:55:07.24
And he said one of the men there
00:55:07.27\00:55:10.51
knew a man that helped
00:55:10.54\00:55:16.21
corporate
America, corporate leaders,
00:55:16.24\00:55:19.71
and he invited this
man to come give a seminar
00:55:19.75\00:55:25.49
to all these
martial arts instructors.
00:55:25.52\00:55:28.19
And in my mind I was thinking,
00:55:28.22\00:55:29.56
I mean, "Why do
you invite in a guy
00:55:29.59\00:55:31.16
from corporate America?
00:55:31.19\00:55:32.53
What's he going
to teach you all?"
00:55:32.56\00:55:33.90
But I was interested
00:55:33.93\00:55:35.53
and I said, you
know, what happened?
00:55:35.56\00:55:37.23
He said, "He taught us
00:55:37.27\00:55:39.27
how to make our
schools grow unbelievably."
00:55:39.30\00:55:45.91
And when he
started sharing with me
00:55:45.94\00:55:48.08
what the man had taught
instantly, I knew it was NLP.
00:55:48.11\00:55:53.95
When Little Johnny and
Suzy's mom and dad came in,
00:55:53.98\00:55:58.72
the man would, you
know, be there at the desk
00:55:58.75\00:56:00.82
and he would smile, and
he's talking to a woman,
00:56:00.86\00:56:03.99
and he's like, well, listen,
00:56:04.03\00:56:05.36
you know, and he's been friends
with the children, and he said,
00:56:05.39\00:56:08.60
"Yeah, I know that you
guys are here to sign up.
00:56:08.63\00:56:11.80
So what I want to do
is I want to go ahead
00:56:11.83\00:56:14.04
and just offer you a
free week of classes,
00:56:14.07\00:56:17.27
and what size does
your daughter wear,
00:56:17.31\00:56:20.11
what size does your son wear."
00:56:20.14\00:56:21.84
Oh, I just happen
to have the uniform,
00:56:21.88\00:56:24.75
this will look perfect on you,
00:56:24.78\00:56:26.38
that was made
for you, that's NLP.
00:56:26.41\00:56:29.82
He's telling them
what they will buy,
00:56:29.85\00:56:32.82
He's telling them
what they will wear,
00:56:32.85\00:56:35.69
this will fit you perfect.
00:56:35.72\00:56:37.43
I've had this one here all
week and I wasn't sure why?
00:56:37.46\00:56:40.70
You walked in and I know
this one's got your name on it.
00:56:40.73\00:56:45.03
That is a very
basic form of NLP.
00:56:45.07\00:56:49.40
And he would tell them,
00:56:49.44\00:56:51.57
I actually, I've
got your contract,
00:56:51.61\00:56:53.38
you know, right
here ready for you
00:56:53.41\00:56:54.94
and you don't
have to worry about,
00:56:54.98\00:56:57.01
you know, this or that,
00:56:57.05\00:56:58.78
you know, this
is going to be good,
00:56:58.81\00:57:00.22
your children
are going to succeed
00:57:00.25\00:57:02.08
and they walk out the door.
00:57:02.12\00:57:04.32
And my friend told me,
he said, Eric, he said,
00:57:04.35\00:57:07.22
"I started using
this and he said,
00:57:07.26\00:57:09.76
I haven't lost one
person that walked in the door,
00:57:09.79\00:57:12.53
not one, not one.
00:57:12.56\00:57:16.50
It's happening in our churches,
00:57:16.53\00:57:20.27
this mind over
mind is happening.
00:57:20.30\00:57:25.67
In our next meeting,
00:57:25.71\00:57:27.04
we're going to take
a close look at this.
00:57:27.08\00:57:30.91
Let's close with prayer.
00:57:30.95\00:57:32.28
Father in heaven, we thank You
00:57:36.28\00:57:40.82
for Your love,
for Your kindness,
00:57:40.86\00:57:43.39
and for Your mercy,
00:57:43.43\00:57:44.99
and we thank You for the life
00:57:45.03\00:57:46.66
You have given
us through Your Son,
00:57:46.70\00:57:49.06
our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
00:57:49.10\00:57:52.73
Send your angels to fill
this ministry in this room
00:57:52.77\00:57:57.67
and, Father, fill our
hearts with Thy presence alone.
00:57:57.71\00:58:02.31
