>>THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT
TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
00:00:01.93\00:00:04.97
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:05.00\00:00:09.30
>>FOR NINE MONTHS BETWEEN 1898
AND 1899, TWO FAMOUS MAN-EATING
00:00:09.34\00:00:14.51
LIONS OF TSAVO TERRORIZED
WORKERS EMPLOYED IN THE
00:00:14.54\00:00:17.91
CONSTRUCTION OF A
RAILWAY BRIDGE IN UGANDA.
00:00:17.95\00:00:20.92
AS THE DEATH TOLL ROSE,
CONSTRUCTION WAS BROUGHT TO A
00:00:20.95\00:00:24.32
VIRTUAL STANDSTILL. THE
WORKERS SAID THEY REFUSED TO
00:00:24.35\00:00:27.39
CONTINUE UNTIL PROTECTION COULD
BE PROVIDED. FINALLY, THE REIGN
00:00:27.42\00:00:31.86
OF TERROR WAS BROUGHT TO
AN END WHEN LIEUTENANT COLONEL
00:00:31.89\00:00:34.93
J.H. PATTERSON SUCCEEDED IN
TRACKING AND KILLING THE TWO
00:00:34.93\00:00:38.90
LIONS THAT HAD DEVOURED 135 MEN.
THE LIONS ARE NOW ON PERMANENT
00:00:38.93\00:00:44.37
DISPLAY IN THE FIELD MUSEUM OF
CHICAGO. EVEN MORE DEADLY WAS A
00:00:44.41\00:00:49.18
TIGRESS IN INDIA THAT
WAS REPORTED TO HAVE KILLED
00:00:49.21\00:00:52.08
AND EATEN 436 PEOPLE IN
1907 BEFORE IT WAS KILLED.
00:00:52.11\00:00:57.49
BUT THE RECORD FOR MAN
EATING GOES TO ONE LION THAT HAS
00:00:57.52\00:01:00.19
DEVOURED MORE THAN ALL
THESE OTHER CATS COMBINED.
00:01:00.22\00:01:03.16
1 PETER CHAPTER 5, VERSE
8 ADVISES US, "BE SOBER, BE
00:01:03.19\00:01:07.96
VIGILANT, BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY
THE DEVIL IS GOING AROUND LIKE A
00:01:08.00\00:01:11.70
ROARING LION, SEEKING
WHOM HE MIGHT DEVOUR."
00:01:11.73\00:01:15.24
SO HOW CAN WE BE PROTECTED
AGAINST THIS MAN EATER?
00:01:15.27\00:01:19.27
JOIN ME, FRIENDS, TODAY, AS
WE CONTINUE OUR EXPLORATION TO
00:01:19.31\00:01:23.14
UNDERSTAND THE
ORIGINATOR OF SIN, THE DEVIL.
00:01:23.18\00:01:30.89
>>TONIGHT WE'VE GOT A SUBJECT
THAT I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO
00:01:30.92\00:01:32.29
FIND VERY INTERESTING AND I
HOPE YOU'LL PRAY AS WE PROCEED,
00:01:32.32\00:01:35.99
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT THAT ARCHFIEND AND
00:01:36.02\00:01:39.93
'WHY IS THERE EVIL IN THE
WORLD TODAY?' DEALING WITH THE
00:01:39.96\00:01:42.76
VILLAIN OF REVELATION,
BETTER KNOWN AS THE DEVIL.
00:01:42.80\00:01:48.30
SATAN IS THAT
ARCHFIEND. HE IS VERY REAL.
00:01:48.34\00:01:52.07
I BELIEVE THAT, NOT ONLY
DOES GOD SEND GOOD ANGELS TO OUR
00:01:52.11\00:01:55.81
MEETINGS, I BELIEVE
THAT THE DEVIL TRIES TO SEND
00:01:55.84\00:01:57.75
REPRESENTATIVES TO DISTRACT
AND KEEP PEOPLE FROM HEARING THE
00:01:57.78\00:02:00.58
WORD. THERE ARE BATTLES THAT ARE
RAGING. PAUL TALKS ABOUT US NOT
00:02:00.62\00:02:04.79
WRESTLING AGAINST
FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST
00:02:04.82\00:02:06.89
PRINCIPALITIES AND
POWERS - SPIRITUAL FORCES OF
00:02:06.92\00:02:09.62
WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
THERE IS A GOD, THERE ARE GOOD
00:02:09.66\00:02:14.30
ANGELS, AND THERE IS A DEVIL
- THERE IS AN EVIL POWER IN THE
00:02:14.36\00:02:17.40
WORLD. I THINK, AS YOU LOOK
AT WHAT'S HAPPENED IN HISTORY,
00:02:17.43\00:02:21.24
YOU'D HAVE TO SAY
THAT THERE IS EVIL.
00:02:21.27\00:02:24.44
YOU LOOK AT WHAT SOME TERRORISTS
DO, WHERE THEY PUT A PERSON IN A
00:02:24.47\00:02:26.78
CAGE AND DOUSE THEM WITH
GASOLINE AND VIDEOTAPE AS THEY
00:02:26.81\00:02:30.38
SET THEM ON FIRE -
THAT IS JUST INCARNATE EVIL.
00:02:30.41\00:02:34.78
ONE OF THE REASONS SOME PEOPLE
TURN TO GOD IS THEY SAY, 'YOU
00:02:34.82\00:02:36.75
KNOW, I WASN'T SO SURE ABOUT
GOD BUT, WHEN I BECAME CONVINCED
00:02:36.79\00:02:39.45
THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTE EVIL,
THEN I THOUGHT, THERE MUST BE
00:02:39.49\00:02:43.49
GOOD. THERE
MUST BE GOD.' >>AMEN.
00:02:43.53\00:02:45.86
>>AND WE CAN CERTAINLY SEE THE
EVIDENCE FOR EVIL IN THE WORLD.
00:02:45.89\00:02:48.66
WHEN GOD CREATED ADAM AND
EVE, WHAT WAS THE ONE THING HE
00:02:48.70\00:02:51.60
FORBADE THEM FROM DOING? HE
SAID, "BUT OF THE TREE OF THE
00:02:51.63\00:02:55.34
KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL,
YOU SHALL NOT EAT OF IT." AMEN?
00:02:55.37\00:03:00.38
AND THAT, BY THE
WAY, IS GENESIS 2:17.
00:03:00.41\00:03:02.94
HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE FREE. THIS IS A PARADISE.
00:03:02.98\00:03:05.95
I'VE MADE THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD
- BEAUTIFUL GARDEN - IT'S ALL
00:03:05.98\00:03:07.92
YOURS. I'VE GOT
ONE RESTRICTION: THE
00:03:07.95\00:03:10.65
DEVIL'S BEEN TOLD THE
ONLY PLACE THAT HE CAN CAMPAIGN
00:03:10.69\00:03:14.56
IS AT THAT TREE. AND
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT HIM
00:03:14.59\00:03:16.39
AND RESIST HIM AND
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
00:03:16.42\00:03:18.86
BUT, IF YOU ENGAGE
HIM, IT COULD BE DEADLY.
00:03:18.89\00:03:22.13
DON'T EAT FROM THIS FORBIDDEN
FRUIT.' AND THEY DIDN'T LISTEN -
00:03:22.16\00:03:26.17
THE FRUIT OF THE TREE, YEAH.
HE SAID, "FOR IN THE DAY THAT
00:03:26.20\00:03:29.60
YOU EAT OF IT YOU
SHALL SURELY DIE."
00:03:29.64\00:03:32.97
NOW, WHAT THE LORD MEANS BY THAT
IS, 'IN DYING, YOU WILL DIE' -
00:03:33.01\00:03:36.44
IS THE WAY THAT READS IN
THE HEBREW - THAT YOU WILL
00:03:36.48\00:03:38.61
DEFINITELY DIE EVENTUALLY.
THEY DIED SPIRITUALLY THE DAY
00:03:38.65\00:03:42.12
THEY DISOBEYED AND, OF
COURSE, ADAM AND EVE BOTH DIED
00:03:42.15\00:03:45.45
WITHIN THAT FIRST MILLENNIA.
'A DAY WITH THE LORD IS LIKE
00:03:45.49\00:03:47.66
A THOUSAND YEARS,' RIGHT?
AND SO, WE KNOW THE STORY.
00:03:47.69\00:03:53.23
WHAT MEDIUM DID SATAN USE TO
DECEIVE EVE AND WHAT LIES DID
00:03:53.26\00:03:57.27
SATAN TELL HER?
WELL, YOU KNOW, HE APPEARED
00:03:57.30\00:04:01.30
THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF A SERPENT.
NOW, THE SERPENT IS JUST ANOTHER
00:04:01.34\00:04:05.67
CREATURE, BUT IT SAYS IT
WAS A VERY HYPNOTIC, BEAUTIFUL,
00:04:05.71\00:04:08.68
SUBTLE CREATURE.
"NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE
00:04:08.71\00:04:11.48
CUNNING THAN ANY BEAST OF
THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD
00:04:11.51\00:04:14.05
MADE...THEN THE SERPENT SAID TO
THE WOMAN, 'YOU WILL NOT SURELY
00:04:14.08\00:04:18.52
DIE.'" FIRST QUESTION IN
THE BIBLE IS HE QUESTIONED GOD'S
00:04:18.55\00:04:22.32
WORD - 'HATH GOD SAID' -
YOU NOTICE THE CYNICISM -
00:04:22.36\00:04:26.16
DOUBTING THE WORD OF GOD.
ALL THE SIN IN OUR WORLD TODAY
00:04:26.19\00:04:28.53
COMES FROM THE DEVIL
DOUBTING THE WORD OF GOD.
00:04:28.56\00:04:30.97
AND HE SAID, 'YOU'RE
NOT REALLY GOING TO DIE.
00:04:31.00\00:04:33.40
DON'T - GOD DIDN'T REALLY MEAN
WHAT HE SAID.' AND, BECAUSE OUR
00:04:33.44\00:04:36.07
FIRST PARENTS CHOSE NOT TO
BELIEVE GOD'S WORD AND, INSTEAD,
00:04:36.10\00:04:40.04
THEY BELIEVED THE DEVIL,
WE'VE GOT ALL THESE PROBLEMS.
00:04:40.08\00:04:42.71
REVELATION 12 - NOTICE, SATAN IS
ALSO CALLED 'THAT OLD SERPENT' -
00:04:42.74\00:04:47.32
"...THE DRAGON WAS CAST OUT,
THAT SERPENT...CALLED THE DEVIL
00:04:47.35\00:04:50.42
AND SATAN" - SO THERE'S NO
QUESTION WHO THE DRAGON, WHO THE
00:04:50.45\00:04:53.82
SERPENT, WHO THE DEVIL -
YOU KNOW, THE WORD 'SATAN' MEANS
00:04:53.86\00:04:57.09
'ADVERSARY'. AND,
IF YOU TAKE THE WORD
00:04:57.13\00:04:59.36
'DEVIL' AND YOU TAKE OFF
THE 'D', WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
00:04:59.39\00:05:01.96
>>EVIL. >>EVIL. HE
IS CONSUMMATE EVIL.
00:05:02.00\00:05:06.60
AND THEN, FINALLY, THAT FIRST
PROPHECY - THE LORD SAYS, THERE
00:05:06.63\00:05:09.44
IN GENESIS 3:15, "I WILL
PUT ENMITY BETWEEN YOU AND THE
00:05:09.47\00:05:14.04
WOMAN, AND BETWEEN YOUR SEED AND
HER SEED;" AND SO, THROUGH THE
00:05:14.08\00:05:17.31
BOOK OF REVELATION AND ALL
THROUGH THE BIBLE, YOU SEE THIS
00:05:17.35\00:05:19.51
CONTEST GOING ON BETWEEN
THE SEED OF THE WOMAN - CHRIST'S
00:05:19.55\00:05:24.55
FOLLOWERS - AND - OF COURSE,
JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE SEED OF
00:05:24.59\00:05:28.26
THE WOMAN - AND THE DRAGON - THE
DEVIL - BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND
00:05:28.29\00:05:31.79
EVIL. YOU'VE ALL
HEARD THE FAIRY TALES
00:05:31.83\00:05:34.56
ABOUT THE KNIGHT IN
SHINING ARMOR THAT SAVES THE
00:05:34.56\00:05:37.67
MAIDEN FROM THE DRAGON.
KIND OF - ALL THOSE ARE KIND OF
00:05:37.70\00:05:41.37
ROOTED IN SOME TRUTH
THAT YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:41.40\00:05:44.07
YOU CAN ALSO SEE IT AGAIN HERE
IN REVELATION 12:17 WHERE IT
00:05:44.11\00:05:47.58
TELLS US THAT "THE DRAGON WAS
ENRAGED WITH THE WOMAN, AND HE
00:05:47.61\00:05:51.38
WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH THE REST
OF HER OFFSPRING," - YOU SEE
00:05:51.41\00:05:54.18
JESUS - GENESIS - TALKED
ABOUT THE SEED OF THE WOMAN.
00:05:54.22\00:05:57.22
HERE, YOU GO TO THE END OF THE
BIBLE - BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE
00:05:57.25\00:05:59.72
YOU'VE GOT THE DRAGON, THE
SERPENT, THE WOMAN, THE SEED OF
00:05:59.75\00:06:02.12
THE WOMAN. NOW YOU
GO TO REVELATION, YOU'VE
00:06:02.16\00:06:04.26
GOT THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT, AND
THE WOMAN - AND HE'S TRYING TO
00:06:04.29\00:06:08.13
DESTROY THE SEED OF THE
WOMAN. WE'LL GET BACK TO
00:06:08.16\00:06:10.43
THAT ON ANOTHER STUDY.
WHO DOES HE ESPECIALLY HATE?
00:06:10.47\00:06:14.14
THE DESCENDANTS OF THE WOMAN
"WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
00:06:14.17\00:06:17.34
GOD AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS"
- THEY'VE GOT THE TESTIMONY OF
00:06:17.37\00:06:22.08
JESUS. AND SO,
THE DEVIL HATES PEOPLE
00:06:22.11\00:06:24.55
THAT OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
SO, WHY WAS EATING A PIECE OF
00:06:24.58\00:06:29.72
FRUIT SUCH A DEADLY OFFENSE?
IT'S JUST A PIECE OF FRUIT; WHY
00:06:29.75\00:06:33.49
ALL THE TROUBLE IN THE WORLD
FROM EATING THE WRONG THING?
00:06:33.52\00:06:36.52
WELL, BECAUSE, FIRST OF
ALL, GOD COMMANDED THEM NOT TO.
00:06:36.56\00:06:39.63
I DID AN AMAZING FACT - YOU
KNOW, EVERY WEEK WE DO AMAZING
00:06:39.66\00:06:41.80
FACTS ON OUR RADIO PROGRAM AND
I DID AN AMAZING FACT ABOUT THE
00:06:41.83\00:06:46.13
MANCHINEEL TREE - THEY ACTUALLY
GROW HERE IN FLORIDA AND AROUND
00:06:46.17\00:06:49.14
THE CARIBBEAN - AND IT'S
CALLED 'THE TREE OF DEATH'.
00:06:49.17\00:06:53.74
COLUMBUS CALLED THEM 'DEATH
APPLES'. THEY HAVE APPLES AND
00:06:53.78\00:06:57.61
THEY LOOK VERY
LUSCIOUS. THEY EVEN SMELL SWEET.
00:06:57.65\00:07:00.15
BUT IF YOU EAT ONE
YOU COULD EASILY DIE.
00:07:00.18\00:07:02.62
IT'LL CAUSE - IT'LL BURN YOUR
THROAT - YOUR THROAT WOULD SWELL
00:07:02.65\00:07:04.59
UP AND IT CAN CAUSE - IT WILL
CAUSE ALL KINDS OF GASTRONOMICAL
00:07:04.62\00:07:07.56
PROBLEMS AND PERMANENT INJURY
AND LIVER AND KIDNEY PROBLEMS.
00:07:07.59\00:07:11.26
IF YOU'RE EVEN UNDER THAT TREE
WHEN IT'S RAINING, THE SAP FROM
00:07:11.29\00:07:14.46
THE TREE COMING ONTO YOUR
SKIN CAN BLISTER YOUR SKIN.
00:07:14.50\00:07:18.37
IT'S A VERY TOXIC TREE.
AND THEY'VE GOT THESE SIGNS
00:07:18.40\00:07:20.50
EVERYWHERE - 'WARNING! -
STAY AWAY FROM THIS TREE!'
00:07:20.54\00:07:25.27
I READ ABOUT A TOURIST THAT WAS
IN SOME CARIBBEAN ISLAND WHERE
00:07:25.31\00:07:28.41
THERE WAS ONE OF THESE TREES
- THEY KEEP THEM FOR EROSION ON
00:07:28.44\00:07:30.65
THE COAST - AND
THEY DIDN'T HAVE A SIGN.
00:07:30.68\00:07:34.05
AND SHE AND HER FRIEND SAID,
'OH, THAT LOOKS GOOD.' AND, OH,
00:07:34.08\00:07:37.25
THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF MISERABLE
PROBLEMS AND PAIN AND SUFFERING
00:07:37.29\00:07:40.62
BECAUSE THEY ATE
THIS DEADLY TREE.
00:07:40.66\00:07:42.89
WELL, GOD TOLD ADAM AND EVE NOT
TO EAT THE TREE AND, IT WASN'T
00:07:42.92\00:07:46.03
THAT THE FRUIT HURT THEM, IT WAS
THE DISOBEDIENCE THAT DID IT.
00:07:46.06\00:07:49.30
YOU SEE, THE BIBLE SAYS, IN
ROMANS 6:16, "DO YOU NOT KNOW
00:07:49.33\00:07:53.64
THAT TO WHOM YOU PRESENT
YOURSELVES SLAVES [OR SERVANTS]
00:07:53.67\00:07:57.44
TO OBEY, YOU ARE THAT ONE'S
SLAVES WHOM YOU OBEY, WHETHER OF
00:07:57.47\00:08:01.34
SIN LEADING TO DEATH,
OR OF OBEDIENCE LEADING TO
00:08:01.38\00:08:04.75
RIGHTEOUSNESS." AND,
WHEN ADAM AND EVE DECIDED
00:08:04.78\00:08:07.35
TO FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS - OR THE
SUGGESTION OF THE SERPENT - THE
00:08:07.38\00:08:11.22
DEVIL, INSTEAD OF GOD, THEY
SURRENDERED THE DOMINION OF THIS
00:08:11.25\00:08:15.12
WORLD THAT GOD HAD GIVEN
ADAM AND EVE, TO THE ENEMY.
00:08:15.16\00:08:19.26
YOU SEE, ADAM WAS TO HAVE
DOMINION OF THE WORLD - AND EVE.
00:08:19.29\00:08:21.96
AND WHEN THEY CHOSE TO LISTEN TO
THE DEVIL INSTEAD OF GOD, THEY
00:08:22.00\00:08:24.63
HANDED OVER THE KEYS AND THE
DEVIL DECIDED TO CONTINUE HIS
00:08:24.67\00:08:28.80
REBELLION WITH THIS PLANET
AS THE BEACHHEAD FOR HIS WAR
00:08:28.84\00:08:33.27
AGAINST GOD. WHAT ARE
SOME OF SATAN'S METHODS
00:08:33.31\00:08:36.41
THAT HE USES TO DECEIVE,
DISCOURAGE, OR TO DESTROY
00:08:36.44\00:08:39.95
PEOPLE? WE'RE
GOING TO GO THROUGH
00:08:39.98\00:08:41.98
A LIST OF THINGS HERE.
FIRST OF ALL, IT SAYS SATAN IS
00:08:42.02\00:08:45.99
THE ONE WHO DECEIVES THE WHOLE
WORLD. SATAN IS A DECEIVER.
00:08:46.02\00:08:48.82
DECEPTION IS THE
CO-MINGLING OF TRUTH AND ERROR.
00:08:48.86\00:08:52.33
HE WILL TAKE SOMETHING GOOD
AND HE'LL MIX IN SOMETHING BAD.
00:08:52.36\00:08:55.33
AND YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW
DEADLY AND DANGEROUS IT IS.
00:08:55.36\00:08:58.73
HE CAME TO JESUS IN THE
WILDERNESS AND HE TEMPTED HIM.
00:08:58.77\00:09:02.07
DO YOU THINK THE DEVIL APPEARED
AS - WHEN THE DEVIL CAME TO
00:09:02.10\00:09:05.14
TEMPT JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS
AND HE'S FASTED 40 DAYS, YOU
00:09:05.17\00:09:08.81
THINK SATAN JUST KIND OF PLOPPED
DOWN ON THE GROUND AND HE HAD
00:09:08.84\00:09:11.41
HIS RED LEOTARDS AND HIS, YOU
KNOW, HIS GOAT FEET - I NEVER
00:09:11.45\00:09:14.35
DID MENTION THE GOAT FEET.
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE
00:09:14.38\00:09:16.12
DEVIL'S GOT GOAT FEET, RIGHT?
I'M BEING SARCASTIC, SORRY.
00:09:16.15\00:09:19.62
AND HE, YOU KNOW, HIS HORNS AND
HIS BAT WINGS AND HE SAID, 'I'VE
00:09:19.65\00:09:22.59
GOT A PROPOSITION FOR YOU.'
WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ANYBODY THAT
00:09:22.62\00:09:25.46
LOOKED LIKE THAT, THAT
CAME WITH A PROPOSITION?
00:09:25.49\00:09:28.70
HOW DO YOU THINK
HE APPEARED TO JESUS?
00:09:28.73\00:09:31.83
REMEMBER, WE QUOTED THAT VERSE
- HE CAN APPEAR AS AN ANGEL OF
00:09:31.87\00:09:34.14
LIGHT. HE WAS BEING DECEPTIVE.
CHRIST WAS THERE IN THE
00:09:34.17\00:09:37.71
WILDERNESS TEMPTED BY
THE DEVIL. SATAN TEMPTS.
00:09:37.74\00:09:41.08
NOW, YOU'LL OFTEN SAY, 'JESUS
SAVE ME' - AND I ALMOST HAD A
00:09:41.11\00:09:44.91
CAR ACCIDENT BUT JESUS SAVED
ME.' REALLY, JESUS PROBABLY DID
00:09:44.95\00:09:47.65
IT THROUGH HIS ANGELS.
SOMETIMES YOU'LL SAY 'THE DEVIL
00:09:47.68\00:09:51.29
TEMPTED ME.' I DON'T KNOW IF
ANY OF YOU REMEMBER A COMEDIAN
00:09:51.32\00:09:54.16
NAMED FLIP WILSON. HE
BECAME FAMOUS FOR SAYING,
00:09:54.19\00:09:56.12
'THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT.' THE
DEVIL - CAN THE DEVIL MAKE YOU?
00:09:56.16\00:10:00.56
NOT UNLESS YOU'RE DEMON
POSSESSED - MOST OF US HAVE TO
00:10:00.60\00:10:02.33
COOPERATE. WE
SURRENDER OUR WILLS.
00:10:02.36\00:10:04.63
IF THE DEVIL HAD TAKEN EVE
AND HELD HER TO THE GROUND AND
00:10:04.67\00:10:07.80
PUSHED THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
IN HER MOUTH, IT WOULD NOT HAVE
00:10:07.84\00:10:10.27
BEEN A SIN. BUT SHE
HAD TO WILLINGLY CHOOSE.
00:10:10.31\00:10:14.08
AND, TYPICALLY WHEN WE SIN, WE
ARE CHOOSING TO DO WHAT WE KNOW
00:10:14.11\00:10:18.11
IS NOT RIGHT. SO HE'S A TEMPTER.
CAN THE DEVIL WORK MIRACLES?
00:10:18.15\00:10:24.15
REVELATION CHAPTER 16, VERSE
14 - AND OUR SPECIAL EMPHASIS IN
00:10:24.19\00:10:27.86
OUR PROPHECY ENCOUNTER IN
REVELATION SAYS, 'THEY ARE THE
00:10:27.89\00:10:30.59
SPIRITS OF
DEVILS WORKING MIRACLES.
00:10:30.63\00:10:33.86
SO, CAN THE DEVIL
COUNTERFEIT THE MIRACLES OF GOD?
00:10:33.90\00:10:37.43
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY IN
THE BIBLE WHEN MOSES CAME BEFORE
00:10:37.47\00:10:40.07
PHARAOH AND SAID, 'LET MY PEOPLE
GO' AND TO SHOW THAT GOD WAS
00:10:40.10\00:10:42.80
WITH HIM HE THREW HIS STAFF DOWN
AND IT TURNED INTO A SERPENT.
00:10:42.84\00:10:45.84
THE PHARAOH CALLED IN HIS
MAGICIANS - THEY THREW DOWN
00:10:45.87\00:10:49.31
THEIR STAFFS - THEY
TURNED INTO SERPENTS.
00:10:49.34\00:10:52.31
WAS THAT THE POWER OF GOD
OR THE POWER OF THE DEVIL?
00:10:52.35\00:10:56.08
SATAN CAN DO SIGNS
AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES.
00:10:56.12\00:10:58.55
SO SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, I
LISTEN TO THAT PASTOR BECAUSE HE
00:10:58.59\00:11:00.89
DOES MIRACLES - HE DOES
SIGNS AND WONDERS.' IF HE'S NOT
00:11:00.92\00:11:04.79
FOLLOWING THE WORD OF GOD, THOSE
MIRACLES CAN BE COUNTERFEITS.
00:11:04.83\00:11:08.46
AND SO, DON'T FORGET THE DEVIL
CAN COUNTERFEIT THOSE SIGNS
00:11:08.50\00:11:11.47
AND WONDERS. IN FACT,
REVELATION 13:13 - THAT
00:11:11.50\00:11:15.07
SAME CHAPTER WHERE IT TALKS
ABOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST, IT
00:11:15.10\00:11:17.27
SAYS, "HE PERFORMS GREAT SIGNS,
SO THAT HE EVEN MAKES FIRE COME
00:11:17.31\00:11:21.21
DOWN FROM HEAVEN ON THE
EARTH IN THE SIGHT OF MEN."
00:11:21.24\00:11:24.95
THE DEVIL DOES HAVE POWER AND
SO, OUR DECISION ABOUT FOLLOWING
00:11:24.98\00:11:28.42
JESUS CANNOT BE BASED UPON SIGNS
AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES, IT
00:11:28.45\00:11:32.72
NEEDS TO BE BASED UPON
'THUS SAITH THE LORD' - AMEN?
00:11:32.75\00:11:36.12
BECAUSE SATAN, HIMSELF, CAN
BE TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF
00:11:36.16\00:11:40.33
LIGHT. MATTER OF
FACT, I BELIEVE THE
00:11:40.36\00:11:42.73
MASTERPIECE - SEE, GOD CAME
INTO THE WORLD THROUGH A MAN,
00:11:42.76\00:11:48.20
JESUS, TO TEACH US THE
TRUTH. BEFORE THE END OF TIME, I
00:11:48.24\00:11:51.87
THINK SATAN IS GOING TO EITHER
THOROUGHLY POSSESS A MAN OR
00:11:51.91\00:11:54.98
IMPERSONATE CHRIST, AND
HE'S GOING TO TRY TO DO HIS
00:11:55.01\00:11:58.85
MASTERPIECE PERFORMANCE
PRETENDING TO BE CHRIST.
00:11:58.88\00:12:02.18
JESUS SAID, 'THERE'LL BE FALSE
CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS' -
00:12:02.22\00:12:04.65
AND THERE HAVE BEEN THROUGH
HISTORY - BUT I'LL TELL YOU, IN
00:12:04.69\00:12:07.16
THE LAST DAYS, I THINK THAT HE
IS SAVING HIS MAIN ACT FOR THE
00:12:07.19\00:12:11.63
FINAL DAYS WHEN HE IS
GOING TO CLAIM TO BE CHRIST.
00:12:11.66\00:12:14.00
ISN'T THAT WHAT HE
ALWAYS WANTED, TO BE JESUS?
00:12:14.03\00:12:16.70
HE'S GOING TO ACT THAT OUT IN
THE WORLD AND HE'LL DO SIGNS AND
00:12:16.73\00:12:18.70
WONDERS AND HE WILL QUOTE THE
BIBLE AND, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE,
00:12:18.73\00:12:22.60
EVEN THE VERY
ELECT WOULD BE DECEIVED.
00:12:22.64\00:12:24.41
WHAT WILL PREVENT THE
VERY ELECT FROM BEING DECEIVED?
00:12:24.44\00:12:27.84
THEY'RE GOING TO SEE AN
INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN WHAT THIS
00:12:27.88\00:12:30.68
FALSE CHRIST SAYS AND
WHAT JESUS SAID IN HIS WORD.
00:12:30.71\00:12:34.02
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO
KNOW OUR BIBLES, AMEN?
00:12:34.05\00:12:38.35

00:13:19.93\00:13:22.76
SOME MORE AMAZING
FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD?
00:13:22.80\00:13:26.77
>>JESUS WARNED US, IN MATTHEW 7,
BEWARE OF THE DEVIL THAT HE IS
00:13:26.80\00:13:30.97
AS - IT SAYS, 'THESE FALSE
PROPHETS WHO WILL COME TO YOU IN
00:13:31.01\00:13:34.68
SHEEP'S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY
THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES.'
00:13:34.71\00:13:39.48
AND, I THINK WE ALL KNOW
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME PASTORS AND
00:13:39.51\00:13:41.78
EVANGELISTS OUT THERE THAT THEY
PUT ON A GOOD SHOW, BUT ON THE
00:13:41.82\00:13:46.42
INSIDE IT WAS ALL ABOUT THEM
- IT WAS ALL ABOUT GAINING MONEY
00:13:46.45\00:13:50.03
OR WEALTH OR FAME, BUT THE
MINISTERS OF CHRIST ARE GOING TO
00:13:50.06\00:13:53.50
LIFT UP CHRIST AND HIS WORD.
REVELATION 12:10 - ANOTHER THING
00:13:53.53\00:13:57.90
THE DEVIL DOES - HE'S CALLED
'THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN'.
00:13:57.93\00:14:02.44
HE'S ALWAYS CASTING INNUENDO.
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY IN THE
00:14:02.47\00:14:05.37
BIBLE WHERE, AT THE SUPPER,
MARY GAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL GIFT TO
00:14:05.41\00:14:09.28
JESUS AND SHE ANOINTED HIS FEET
- ANOINTED HIS HEAD AND HIS FEET
00:14:09.31\00:14:12.48
WITH THIS OIL AND CRIED AND
WASHED HIS FEET WITH HER TEARS.
00:14:12.51\00:14:15.68
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY?
AND JUDAS SAW HER GENEROSITY
00:14:15.72\00:14:18.92
AND IT - IT CONVICTED HIS GREED,
BECAUSE HE WAS A THIEF, AND HE
00:14:18.95\00:14:22.26
SAID, 'WHAT A
TERRIBLE WASTE OF MONEY.
00:14:22.29\00:14:24.66
ALL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN
SOLD AND GIVEN TO THE POOR.'
00:14:24.69\00:14:26.96
HE BEGAN TO ACCUSE HER -
THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL.
00:14:27.00\00:14:29.90
YOU REMEMBER WHEN SATAN, IN THE
BIBLE, IN THE BOOK OF JOB, SATAN
00:14:29.93\00:14:32.37
APPEARS TO THE LORD AND SAYS,
'OH, THE ONLY REASON JOB SERVES
00:14:32.40\00:14:35.17
YOU IS BECAUSE YOU'VE HEDGED
HIM IN.' AND YOU CAN READ IN THE
00:14:35.20\00:14:38.07
BOOK OF ZECHARIAH HOW THE DEVIL
IS THERE - HE'S POINTING TO
00:14:38.11\00:14:40.84
JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST AND HE'S
ACCUSING HIS DIRTY GARMENTS.
00:14:40.88\00:14:44.05
SATAN IS ALWAYS
ACCUSING GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:14:44.08\00:14:46.88
JESUS CAME TO RESURRECT MOSES
AND THE DEVIL SAID, 'YOU CAN'T
00:14:46.92\00:14:49.82
HAVE HIM, HE SINNED.
AND MICHAEL SAID, 'THE LORD
00:14:49.85\00:14:52.39
REBUKE THEE.' SO THE DEVIL
IS ALWAYS - HE'S OUT TO GET US -
00:14:52.42\00:14:56.19
HE'S TO ACCUSE US BEFORE GOD
- THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN.
00:14:56.22\00:14:59.73
YOU PROBABLY KNOW SOME
PEOPLE LIKE THAT, RIGHT?
00:14:59.76\00:15:02.73
ALWAYS GOSSIPING AND PUTTING
OTHER PEOPLE DOWN - THAT'S NOT
00:15:02.76\00:15:04.93
THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
SOMETHING ELSE WE LEARNED ABOUT
00:15:04.97\00:15:07.90
HIM, JESUS SAID, 'HE IS A
MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING.'
00:15:07.94\00:15:12.97
HOW POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE
ARE SATAN'S TEMPTATIONS
00:15:13.01\00:15:16.24
AND HIS STRATEGIES?
THAT'S OUR NEXT QUESTION.
00:15:16.28\00:15:19.55
WELL, IT SAYS THERE'LL BE FALSE
CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS.
00:15:19.58\00:15:22.42
THEY WILL RISE AND THEY'RE GOING
TO SHOW GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS
00:15:22.45\00:15:26.02
TO DECEIVE MANY. WE
ALSO JUST READ ABOUT THAT -
00:15:26.05\00:15:28.66
SIGNS AND WONDERS -
DEVILS - IN REVELATION.
00:15:28.69\00:15:31.86
IT GOES ON TO SAY, IN MATTHEW
24, 'IF IT WERE POSSIBLE THEY'D
00:15:31.89\00:15:34.46
DECEIVE EVEN THE VERY ELECT.'
"BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT;" - PETER
00:15:34.50\00:15:39.47
SAYS - 1 PETER 5:8 - "BECAUSE
YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS
00:15:39.50\00:15:43.07
ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION,
SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR."
00:15:43.10\00:15:47.38
I REMEMBER ABOUT A YEAR AGO,
KAREN AND I WERE IN SOUTH AFRICA
00:15:47.41\00:15:50.35
WITH PASTOR ROSS AND HIS WIFE,
AND WE WENT TO THIS PARK AND WE
00:15:50.38\00:15:53.68
SAW THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRIDE
OF WHITE LIONS. AND THEY'RE
00:15:53.72\00:15:58.99
BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT BUT, BOY
THEY WERE VICIOUS WHEN THEY FED
00:15:59.02\00:16:01.16
THEM. WE GOT TO WATCH THEM WHEN
THEY ATE. THEY WEREN'T VERY -
00:16:01.19\00:16:03.79
YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T SHARE VERY
WELL - LIONS - AND LIONS USE
00:16:03.83\00:16:08.13
DECEPTION WHEN THEY HUNT.
THEY GET - YOU KNOW, ONE LION
00:16:08.16\00:16:11.60
GOES AROUND BEHIND THE GAZELLE
OR THE ZEBRA AND THE OTHER ONE
00:16:11.63\00:16:14.40
ROARS AND THEY'D GO RUNNING OFF
INTO THE MOUTH OF THE LIONESSES.
00:16:14.44\00:16:17.71
THE DEVIL USES DECEPTION - HE'S
PROWLING ALL THE TIME - PACING -
00:16:17.74\00:16:22.18
TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO
DEVOUR. IT SAYS, 'BE SOBER, BE
00:16:22.21\00:16:25.71
VIGILANT' - AND RESIST HIM
STEADFAST IN THE FAITH. HE'S
00:16:25.75\00:16:30.55
SEEKING WHOM HE MIGHT DEVOUR.
NOW THERE ARE THREE PRINCIPLE
00:16:30.59\00:16:33.76
AREAS OF TEMPTATION - THE BIBLE
TALKS ABOUT - YOU'VE GOT THE
00:16:33.79\00:16:37.96
LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST
OF THE EYES, THE PRIDE OF LIFE.
00:16:37.99\00:16:40.46
THESE ARE THE SAME THREE
AREAS WHERE JESUS WAS TEMPTED.
00:16:40.50\00:16:44.00
HE CAME TO CHRIST, HE SAID, 'IF
YOU'RE THE SON OF GOD, COMMAND
00:16:44.03\00:16:47.27
THAT THESE STONES BECOME BREAD.'
- THIS IS A PHYSICAL TEMPTATION.
00:16:47.30\00:16:50.74
YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, 'OH,
JESUS HAS NEVER BEEN TEMPTED
00:16:50.77\00:16:53.01
LIKE ME. HE DIDN'T
HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH
00:16:53.04\00:16:54.61
CIGARETTES.' OR MAYBE HE DIDN'T
HAVE TO STRUGGLE - MAYBE YOU'VE
00:16:54.64\00:16:57.55
GOT A CRACK ADDICTION - IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS - IT
00:16:57.58\00:17:00.72
MIGHT BE FOOD -
WHATEVER YOUR ADDICTION IS.
00:17:00.75\00:17:02.78
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT YOU'VE
GOT THE LUST OF THE FLESH -
00:17:02.82\00:17:05.09
PHYSICAL ADDICTION - WHATEVER IT
IS, JESUS GOT THE VICTORY OVER
00:17:05.12\00:17:08.46
THAT. YOU CAN GET THE VICTORY
00:17:08.49\00:17:09.82
THROUGH CHRIST.
THAT WAS ONE CATEGORY.
00:17:09.86\00:17:12.86
JESUS ANSWERED WITH THE WORD OF
GOD, 'IT IS WRITTEN, 'MAN SHALL
00:17:12.89\00:17:15.80
NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT
BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM
00:17:15.83\00:17:19.53
THE MOUTH OF GOD.'' SO, IN THE
WORD OF GOD IS WHERE YOU FIND
00:17:19.57\00:17:22.27
THE ANTIDOTE FOR
THESE TEMPTATIONS.
00:17:22.30\00:17:24.84
THERE'S POWER
IN THE WORD OF GOD.
00:17:24.87\00:17:26.44
THE WORLD CAME INTO EXISTENCE
THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD.
00:17:26.47\00:17:29.04
AND SO, WHEN WE SPEAK AND CLAIM
THE PROMISES OF GOD, HE GIVES US
00:17:29.08\00:17:31.95
VICTORY. >>AMEN.
00:17:31.98\00:17:33.48
>>THEN THE DEVIL TOOK HIM TO THE
HOLY CITY AND HE SET HIM ON THE
00:17:33.52\00:17:36.72
PINNACLE OF THE TEMPLE AND
HE SAID, 'IF YOU ARE THE SON OF
00:17:36.75\00:17:40.79
GOD, THROW YOURSELF DOWN,
FOR IT IS WRITTEN' - WHOA, WHAT?
00:17:40.82\00:17:44.39
NOW THE DEVIL'S
QUOTING THE BIBLE.
00:17:44.43\00:17:46.19
YOU MEAN THE
DEVIL READS THE BIBLE?
00:17:46.23\00:17:47.56
I THOUGHT THE DEVIL
WAS AFRAID OF THE BIBLE.
00:17:47.60\00:17:49.66
YOU THINK OWNING A BIBLE'S
GOING TO SCARE THE DEVIL.
00:17:49.70\00:17:52.10
'PASTOR DOUG, THE
DEVIL WON'T BOTHER ME.
00:17:52.13\00:17:53.34
I'VE GOT A BIBLE
RIGHT BY MY NIGHTSTAND.
00:17:53.37\00:17:55.94
I NEVER READ IT, BUT IT'S
THERE.' IT'S LIKE MY FRIEND WHO
00:17:55.97\00:17:58.57
HUNG A CROSS FROM HIS MIRROR,
I SAID, 'WHAT'S THAT FOR?'
00:17:58.61\00:18:00.91
I SAID, 'YOU'RE NOT VERY
RELIGIOUS.' HE SAID,' 'I DON'T
00:18:00.94\00:18:02.84
WANT TO HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN I'M
DRIVING DRUNK SO I HANG MY CROSS
00:18:02.88\00:18:05.15
UP THERE.' GOOD LUCK CHARM -
'NO, I DON'T TAKE UP MY CROSS,
00:18:05.18\00:18:09.68
BUT I HANG IT ON MY MIRROR' -
AS THOUGH THERE'S SOME VALUE IN
00:18:09.72\00:18:12.49
THAT. THAT'S NOT
WHAT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU.
00:18:12.52\00:18:14.62
OWNING A BIBLE'S
NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU.
00:18:14.66\00:18:16.66
'THY WORD I HAVE HIDDEN IN
MY HEART THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN
00:18:16.69\00:18:20.73
AGAINST YOU.' YOU'VE GOT TO READ
IT AND THEN YOU QUOTE IT BACK TO
00:18:20.76\00:18:23.43
THE DEVIL. SO HE'S QUOTING
00:18:23.47\00:18:24.83
THE BIBLE TO JESUS. 'IT
IS WRITTEN, 'HE'LL GIVE HIS
00:18:24.87\00:18:29.04
ANGEL CHARGE OVER YOU.''
HE'S QUOTING - OR MISQUOTING,
00:18:29.07\00:18:31.91
ACTUALLY, PSALM 91. HE
DIDN'T QUOTE THE WHOLE THING.
00:18:31.94\00:18:34.31
JESUS CAME BACK AND 'OH, IT
IS WRITTEN, 'YOU SHALL NOT TEMPT
00:18:34.34\00:18:37.88
THE LORD YOUR GOD.'' BY THE WAY,
ALL THREE TIMES, WHEN JESUS MET
00:18:37.91\00:18:40.98
THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE
DEVIL, HE QUOTES FROM THE BOOK
00:18:41.02\00:18:43.69
DEUTERONOMY. SO,
OLD TESTAMENT WAS GOOD
00:18:43.72\00:18:47.02
ENOUGH FOR JESUS, IT
STILL SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH
00:18:47.06\00:18:48.79
FOR US TODAY, TOO, RIGHT?
ALONG WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:18:48.82\00:18:51.63
BUT DON'T THROW
AWAY YOUR OLD TESTAMENT.
00:18:51.66\00:18:54.03
AGAIN, THE DEVIL TOOK HIM TO AN
EXCEEDING HIGH MOUNTAIN AND HE
00:18:54.10\00:18:56.83
SHOWS HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS
OF THE WORLD IN ALL THEIR GLORY.
00:18:56.87\00:19:00.34
HE DOESN'T SHOW THE SLUMS,
HE DOESN'T SHOW THE PROBLEMS, HE
00:19:00.37\00:19:02.37
DOESN'T SHOW THE TRAFFIC JAMS.
HE SAYS, 'ALL THIS I'LL GIVE
00:19:02.40\00:19:05.44
YOU IF YOU JUST FALL
DOWN AND WORSHIP ME.'
00:19:05.47\00:19:07.71
NOW THE DEVIL IS
SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS.
00:19:07.74\00:19:09.68
WHAT DID HE WANT? >>WORSHIP.
00:19:09.71\00:19:11.35
>>HE WANTS THE WORSHIP - IF
JESUS WOULD WORSHIP HIM HE WOULD
00:19:11.38\00:19:13.65
BE GOD. HE SAID,
'YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE.
00:19:13.68\00:19:16.18
YOU'VE COME TO DIE - YOU DON'T
HAVE TO DIE, JUST BOW DOWN AND
00:19:16.22\00:19:19.75
WORSHIP ME.
I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.'
00:19:19.79\00:19:21.92
AND WHAT DID JESUS SAY?
"GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN.
00:19:21.96\00:19:25.93
YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD GOD
AND HIM ONLY SHALL YOU SERVE.
00:19:25.96\00:19:29.70
YOU SHALL NOT HAVE OTHER GODS."
AND THE DEVIL LEFT HIM FOR A
00:19:29.73\00:19:33.40
SEASON. THE
BIBLE SAYS, 'RESIST THE
00:19:33.44\00:19:35.80
DEVIL AND HE'LL FLEE FROM
YOU.' AND YOU READ, AGAIN, IN
00:19:35.84\00:19:38.17
EPHESIANS 6:11, "PUT ON
THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD THAT YOU
00:19:38.21\00:19:42.11
MIGHT BE ABLE TO STAND
AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL."
00:19:42.14\00:19:44.95
GOD KNOWS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
BATTLES AND WE NEED TO BE ARMED.
00:19:44.98\00:19:48.02
YOU NEED TO RESIST. YOU
NEED TO BE PREPARED, EVERY
00:19:48.05\00:19:50.69
DAY, TO DENY SELF
AND SAY 'YES' TO JESUS.
00:19:50.72\00:19:52.79
AND, THE MORE YOU LOVE JESUS,
THE EASIER IT IS TO OBEY HIM AND
00:19:52.82\00:19:57.36
RESIST THE DEVIL. >>AMEN.
00:19:57.39\00:19:58.99
>>BECAUSE THE DEVIL WILL ALWAYS
APPEAL TO YOUR SELFISHNESS.
00:19:59.03\00:20:01.90
AND, AGAIN, IT SAYS IN EPHESIANS
6:17, "...THE SWORD OF THE
00:20:01.93\00:20:05.70
SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF
GOD;" 'THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK
00:20:05.73\00:20:09.84
AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER
THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD.
00:20:09.87\00:20:12.37
REVELATION - JESUS IS PICTURED,
IN CHAPTER 19, COMING WITH A
00:20:12.41\00:20:15.28
SWORD COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH,
MEANING THE WORD OF GOD IS IN
00:20:15.31\00:20:18.41
HIS MOUTH. THERE
YOU'VE GOT THAT VERSE IN
00:20:18.45\00:20:20.75
HEBREWS 4, VERSE 12, "FOR
THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND
00:20:20.78\00:20:24.25
POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY
TWO-EDGED SWORD," - YOU READ THE
00:20:24.29\00:20:27.72
WORD, IT'LL
CONVICT YOU FROM SIN.
00:20:27.76\00:20:29.46
BUT YOU ALSO FIND PROMISES
AND POWER IN THE WORD TO RESIST
00:20:29.49\00:20:32.63
TEMPTATION. I THINK IT WAS D.L.
00:20:32.66\00:20:35.40
MOODY THAT SAID, 'THE BIBLE WILL
KEEP YOU FROM SIN OR SIN WILL
00:20:35.43\00:20:37.73
KEEP YOU FROM THE BIBLE.'
SO, IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH
00:20:37.77\00:20:40.37
TEMPTATION, THE DEVIL HATES WHEN
PEOPLE ARE ON THEIR KNEES AND IN
00:20:40.40\00:20:43.87
THE WORD. AMEN?
00:20:43.91\00:20:45.47
THEREFORE, SUBMIT YOURSELF TO
GOD - GREAT PROMISE IN THE BOOK
00:20:45.51\00:20:48.58
OF JAMES CHAPTER
4 - "SUBMIT TO GOD.
00:20:48.61\00:20:51.81
RESIST THE DEVIL" - YOU
CAN'T RESIST THE DEVIL UNTIL YOU
00:20:51.85\00:20:53.78
SURRENDER TO GOD
- "SUBMIT TO GOD.
00:20:53.82\00:20:55.88
RESIST THE DEVIL AND
HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.
00:20:55.92\00:20:58.45
DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND
HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU."
00:20:58.49\00:21:02.79
>>AMEN. >>AMEN?
00:21:02.82\00:21:03.69
>>AMEN. >>WHO
MAKES THE FINAL, COMPLETE
00:21:03.73\00:21:05.69
ERADICATION OF SIN FROM
THE UNIVERSE A CERTAINTY?
00:21:05.73\00:21:10.03
1 JOHN 3:8 - "FOR THIS IS
THE PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS
00:21:10.07\00:21:13.94
MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT
DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL."
00:21:13.97\00:21:17.71
JESUS IS GOING TO COMPLETELY
ERASE WHAT THE DEVIL HAS DONE.
00:21:17.74\00:21:21.51
HE BEGAN ON THE CROSS.
HE WILL COMPLETE IT WITH HIS
00:21:21.54\00:21:24.51
COMING AND THE GREAT JUDGMENT,
BUT THE LORD IS GOING TO -
00:21:24.55\00:21:27.38
AND HE CAN GIVE YOU COMPLETE
RECOVERY IN YOUR LIFE TOO.
00:21:27.42\00:21:31.09
I HAVEN'T MET A PERSON WHO HAD A
SIN THAT WAS TOO BIG FOR JESUS.
00:21:31.12\00:21:34.69
I HAVE KNOWN PEOPLE THAT HAVE
GOTTEN THE VICTORY OVER ALCOHOL
00:21:34.72\00:21:37.59
AND CIGARETTES AND DRUG AND
ABUSE AND ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS
00:21:37.63\00:21:41.70
BECAUSE THEY GOT A NEW HEART
AND THEY BECAME A NEW CREATURE.
00:21:41.73\00:21:44.97
AND WHAT HE DID FOR
THEM HE CAN DO FOR YOU.
00:21:45.00\00:21:46.63
>>AMEN. >>DON'T STOP BELIEVING
00:21:46.67\00:21:48.14
THAT GOD IS MORE POWERFUL.
AND, AGAIN, IT GOES ON TO SAY IN
00:21:48.17\00:21:52.01
HEBREWS 2, VERSE 14, "INASMUCH
THEN AS THE CHILDREN HAVE
00:21:52.04\00:21:55.94
PARTAKEN OF FLESH AND BLOOD, HE
(JESUS) HIMSELF LIKEWISE SHARED
00:21:55.98\00:22:00.12
IN THE SAME, THAT THROUGH DEATH
HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM WHO HAD THE
00:22:00.15\00:22:04.72
POWER OF DEATH,
THAT IS, THE DEVIL."
00:22:04.75\00:22:07.09
THROUGH THE DEATH OF CHRIST HE
IS GOING TO DESTROY THE POWER OF
00:22:07.12\00:22:10.46
SATAN AND WHAT HE'S DONE.
SO WHAT IS IT THAT FOREVER
00:22:10.49\00:22:14.56
SETTLES THE HORRIBLE PROBLEM OF
SIN? AND WILL SIN EVER RISE UP
00:22:14.56\00:22:18.63
AGAIN THE SECOND TIME? NO.
00:22:18.67\00:22:22.17
WHAT SETTLES IT IS
THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS.
00:22:22.20\00:22:25.11
AND YOU CAN READ IN THE BOOK
OF NAHUM - A LITTLE BOOK IN THE
00:22:25.14\00:22:27.51
BIBLE, BUT IT'S GOT A GREAT
PROMISE THERE - CHAPTER 1, VERSE
00:22:27.54\00:22:30.31
9 "...AFFLICTION (SIN)
WILL NOT RISE UP A SECOND TIME."
00:22:30.35\00:22:35.18
>>AMEN. >>YOU KNOW,
WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM
00:22:35.22\00:22:36.65
THE DEAD, DID HE STILL HAVE
THE NAIL SCARS IN HIS HANDS?
00:22:36.69\00:22:38.99
>>YES. >>IT'S LIKE THAT VERSE IN
00:22:39.02\00:22:41.39
ZECHARIAH, 'AND ONE SHALL
SAY UNTO HIM, 'WHAT ARE THESE
00:22:41.42\00:22:44.29
WOUNDS IN YOUR HANDS?''
SOME OF THESE OLD TESTAMENT
00:22:44.33\00:22:47.50
CHARACTERS, THEY MAY GET THERE
AND SAY, 'WHAT HAPPENED, LORD?
00:22:47.50\00:22:50.40
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.' WHEN JESUS
ROSE, HE STILL HAD THE SCARS.
00:22:50.43\00:22:54.10
AND, THROUGH ETERNITY, WHEN
WE SEE THE SCARS IN HIS HANDS,
00:22:54.14\00:22:56.67
WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH HE
PAID THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN.
00:22:56.71\00:22:59.61
THE UNIVERSE WILL NEVER
WANT TO REPEAT THE EXPERIMENT OF
00:22:59.64\00:23:03.11
SELFISHNESS AND SIN
AGAIN. IT WILL BE FOREVER CURED.
00:23:03.14\00:23:06.75
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THAT AGAIN.
00:23:06.78\00:23:08.68
THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL APPEAL
IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL 18, VERSE
00:23:08.72\00:23:11.89
30, "REPENT AND TURN FROM ALL
OF YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, SO THAT
00:23:11.92\00:23:17.36
INIQUITY WILL NOT BE YOUR RUIN.
00:23:17.39\00:23:19.79
CAST AWAY FROM YOU ALL THE
TRANSGRESSIONS WHICH YOU HAVE
00:23:19.83\00:23:22.40
COMMITTED, AND GET YOURSELVES
A NEW HEART" - HE SAYS, 'I'M
00:23:22.43\00:23:25.67
OFFERING IT TO YOU'
- "AND A NEW SPIRIT.
00:23:25.70\00:23:27.77
FOR WHY SHOULD YOU
DIE, O HOUSES OF ISRAEL?"
00:23:27.80\00:23:30.47
MOSES - HE SAID, 'I'M SETTING
BEFORE YOU LIFE AND GOOD,
00:23:30.51\00:23:33.41
BLESSING AND DEATH' - 'LIFE AND
DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING' -
00:23:33.44\00:23:37.38
YOU CHOOSE -
'CHOOSE LIFE,' HE SAID.
00:23:37.41\00:23:39.88
THE DEVIL CAME INTO THE WORLD
AND HE BROUGHT DEATH AND SIN AND
00:23:39.91\00:23:42.85
SUFFERING. GOD HAS NO
PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF ANYONE.
00:23:42.88\00:23:46.65
YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER HEARING A
STORY YEARS AGO, ABOUT A FATHER
00:23:46.69\00:23:50.63
THAT WAS SAILING THROUGH SOME
WARM CARIBBEAN WATER - JUST A
00:23:50.66\00:23:54.00
FATHER AND TWO
BOYS ON AN EXCURSION.
00:23:54.03\00:23:56.87
HE WAS A GOOD SAILOR AND HE TOOK
HIS BOYS ALONG - TEENAGE BOYS -
00:23:56.90\00:23:59.83
AND, AT ONE POINT, THEY WERE
GOING THROUGH SOME ISLANDS - MY
00:23:59.87\00:24:02.17
DAD - I USED TO LIVE IN MIAMI -
HE'D TAKE US ON THE BOAT THROUGH
00:24:02.20\00:24:04.47
THE ISLANDS DOWN
THERE IN THE CARIBBEAN.
00:24:04.51\00:24:06.94
AND THE FATHER TOLD THE BOYS -
THEY'RE ON A SAILBOAT - HE SAID,
00:24:06.98\00:24:09.88
'NOW, WE'RE GOING BY A SECTION
OF WATERS - THERE'S A CHICKEN
00:24:09.91\00:24:13.75
SLAUGHTERHOUSE ON THAT ISLAND
OVER THERE AND THERE'S A LOT OF
00:24:13.78\00:24:15.68
SHARKS AND THEY'RE VERY VICIOUS
BECAUSE THEY'VE GOTTEN THE TASTE
00:24:15.72\00:24:19.12
OF BLOOD. DON'T
FALL IN THE WATER HERE.
00:24:19.15\00:24:22.02
THERE'S PLACES YOU CAN SNORKEL
AND DIVE AND IT'S GREAT, BUT
00:24:22.06\00:24:24.19
DON'T GO IN THE WATER HERE.'
THE BOYS, THEY HADN'T SEEN ANY
00:24:24.23\00:24:28.60
SHARKS AND THEY WERE RUNNING
AROUND PLAYING ON THE DECK OF
00:24:28.63\00:24:30.53
THE SHIP AND ONE OF THEM -
WRESTLING WITH HIS BROTHER - HE
00:24:30.57\00:24:33.87
GRABBED HIS T-SHIRT AND HE
STARTED TO TUMBLE OVER AND HE
00:24:33.90\00:24:36.07
PULLED HIS BROTHER WITH HIM.
00:24:36.10\00:24:37.24
THEY BOTH WENT SPLASH OFF
INTO THE WARM CARIBBEAN WATERS.
00:24:37.27\00:24:41.14
WELL, THE FATHER HEARD THE
SPLASH AND HE WENT RUNNING UP ON
00:24:41.18\00:24:43.41
DECK AND, OF COURSE, THE BOAT IS
MOVING ALONG, IT'S JUST SAILING
00:24:43.45\00:24:46.55
SLOWLY, AND HE DROPPED THE SAIL
AND HE DID WHAT HE COULD TO STOP
00:24:46.58\00:24:49.98
THE BOAT AND HE LOOKED OFF AND
HE SAW HIS BOYS - IT WAS A CALM
00:24:50.02\00:24:52.25
DAY - HE SAW HIS BOYS OFF THERE
PUSHING AND SPLASHING AND RIGHT
00:24:52.29\00:24:57.13
AT THAT POINT, THE FATHER, FOR
JUST A MOMENT HE SAW A DORSAL
00:24:57.16\00:24:59.69
FIN POP OVER THE SURFACE.
FROM HIS VANTAGE IN THE BOAT HE
00:24:59.73\00:25:04.13
COULD SEE IT, BUT
THEY COULDN'T SEE IT.
00:25:04.17\00:25:06.03
AND HE SAID,
'BOYS, THERE'S SHARKS!
00:25:06.07\00:25:07.80
GET QUICKLY AND CALMLY BACK
TO THE BOAT.' THE BOYS LOOKED AT
00:25:07.84\00:25:11.94
EACH OTHER AND THEY SAID, 'OH
MAN, DAD IS TRYING TO SCARE US.
00:25:11.97\00:25:15.64
WE'VE BEEN SAILING FOR DAYS,
WE HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE SHARK.
00:25:15.68\00:25:18.55
HE'S JUST' - THEY
DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.
00:25:18.58\00:25:20.82
AND THEN THEY SAID,
'OKAY, HELP, SHARK! SHARK!'
00:25:20.85\00:25:23.69
AND THEY STARTED TO PRETEND
AND THEY'RE SWIMMING VERY SLOWLY
00:25:23.72\00:25:26.15
BACK TO THE BOAT. YOU
KNOW, THEY'RE LIKE 5O YARDS
00:25:26.19\00:25:28.09
AWAY AND THE FATHER SAW
THE SHARKS BEGINNING TO GATHER.
00:25:28.12\00:25:32.36
HE COULD SEE UP IN THE BOAT -
THE SHARKS WERE UNDERNEATH THE
00:25:32.39\00:25:35.16
SURFACE AND THEY WERE
TIGHTENING THEIR CIRCLE.
00:25:35.20\00:25:38.37
AND, YOU KNOW THE WAY A SHARK
WORKS, IT'LL CONTINUE TO CLOSE
00:25:38.40\00:25:40.34
THE CIRCLE AND IT GETS CLOSER
- AND ONE OF THEM, IT EVENTUALLY
00:25:40.37\00:25:42.40
HAS THE COURAGE
TO COME IN AND BITE.
00:25:42.44\00:25:44.27
AND ONCE THEY TASTE BLOOD, THEY
THEN GO INTO A FRENZY AND THEY
00:25:44.31\00:25:49.18
CAN SMELL ONE DROP OF BLOOD IN
LIKE 38,000 OR MILLION GALLONS
00:25:49.21\00:25:52.88
OF WATER - IT'S PHENOMENAL.
BUT HE SAW THEM CLOSING THEIR
00:25:52.91\00:25:57.65
CIRCLE AND HE REALIZED THAT
THERE WAS JUST A WHOLE HERD OF
00:25:57.69\00:26:00.56
SHARKS OUT THERE THAT
WERE GOING TO COME IN.
00:26:00.59\00:26:03.16
HE WAS GOING TO LOSE HIS BOYS.
00:26:03.19\00:26:04.33
AND, IN A DESPERATE, FINAL
MEASURE TO SAVE HIS BOYS, THE
00:26:04.36\00:26:07.93
FATHER RAN BELOW DECK, HE
WENT TO THE GALLEY, HE GRABBED A
00:26:07.96\00:26:10.33
KNIFE, HE RAN UP ON TOP OF THE
BOAT, HE CUT HIS WRISTS, HE DOVE
00:26:10.37\00:26:14.77
IN THE WATER AND HE SWAM
IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
00:26:14.80\00:26:19.41
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE BOYS SAW,
AS THE WATER BEGAN TO CHURN AND
00:26:19.44\00:26:22.28
TURN RED OFF IN THIS OTHER
DIRECTION AND - NOW HERE'S THE
00:26:22.31\00:26:27.25
QUESTION: IF THOSE BOYS DECIDE
TO STAY IN THE WATER, IS THERE
00:26:27.28\00:26:31.22
ANYTHING MORE THEIR FATHER CAN
DO FOR THEM? AFTER GOD GAVE HIS
00:26:31.25\00:26:36.46
SON AND HE POURED OUT HIS BLOOD
TO SAVE US FROM THE DEVIL, IF WE
00:26:36.49\00:26:40.63
CHOOSE TO STAY IN THE WORLD AND
IN SIN, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT
00:26:40.66\00:26:44.07
HIM TO GIVE THAN
HIS LIFE - TO SAVE YOU?
