DOUG BATCHELOR: FOR NINE MONTHS
BETWEEN 1898 AND 1899, TWO
00:00:09.30\00:00:14.48
FAMOUS MAN-EATING LIONS
OF TSAVO TERRORIZED WORKERS
00:00:14.51\00:00:17.88
EMPLOYED IN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE IN UGANDA.
00:00:17.91\00:00:20.88
AS THE DEATH TOLL ROSE,
CONSTRUCTION WAS BROUGHT TO A
00:00:20.92\00:00:24.29
VIRTUAL STANDSTILL. THE
WORKERS SAID THEY REFUSED TO
00:00:24.32\00:00:27.36
CONTINUE UNTIL PROTECTION COULD
BE PROVIDED. FINALLY, THE REIGN
00:00:27.39\00:00:31.83
OF TERROR WAS BROUGHT TO
AN END WHEN LIEUTENANT COLONEL
00:00:31.86\00:00:34.86
J.H. PATTERSON SUCCEEDED IN
TRACKING AND KILLING THE TWO
00:00:34.93\00:00:38.87
LIONS THAT HAD DEVOURED 135 MEN.
THE LIONS ARE NOW ON PERMANENT
00:00:38.90\00:00:44.34
DISPLAY IN THE FIELD MUSEUM
OF CHICAGO. EVEN MORE DEADLY WAS
00:00:44.37\00:00:49.14
A TIGRESS IN INDIA THAT
WAS REPORTED TO HAVE KILLED
00:00:49.18\00:00:52.05
AND EATEN 436 PEOPLE IN
1907 BEFORE IT WAS KILLED.
00:00:52.08\00:00:57.45
BUT THE RECORD FOR MAN
EATING GOES TO ONE LION THAT HAS
00:00:57.49\00:01:00.16
DEVOURED MORE THAN ALL
THESE OTHER CATS COMBINED.
00:01:00.19\00:01:03.06
1 PETER CHAPTER 5, VERSE
8 ADVISES US, "BE SOBER, BE
00:01:03.09\00:01:07.86
VIGILANT, BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY
THE DEVIL IS GOING AROUND LIKE A
00:01:07.93\00:01:11.60
ROARING LION, SEEKING
WHOM HE MIGHT DEVOUR."
00:01:11.63\00:01:15.14
SO HOW CAN WE BE PROTECTED
AGAINST THIS MAN EATER?
00:01:15.17\00:01:19.17
JOIN ME, FRIENDS, TODAY, AS
WE CONTINUE OUR EXPLORATION TO
00:01:19.21\00:01:23.04
UNDERSTAND THE
ORIGINATOR OF SIN, THE DEVIL.
00:01:23.08\00:01:26.72
TONIGHT WE'VE GOT A SUBJECT
THAT I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO
00:01:30.75\00:01:32.29
FIND VERY INTERESTING AND I
HOPE YOU'LL PRAY AS WE PROCEED,
00:01:32.32\00:01:35.89
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT THAT ARCHFIEND AND
00:01:35.92\00:01:39.83
'WHY IS THERE EVIL IN THE
WORLD TODAY?' DEALING WITH THE
00:01:39.86\00:01:42.66
VILLAIN OF REVELATION,
BETTER KNOWN AS THE DEVIL.
00:01:42.70\00:01:48.20
SATAN IS THAT
ARCHFIEND. HE IS VERY REAL.
00:01:48.24\00:01:51.97
I BELIEVE THAT, NOT ONLY
DOES GOD SEND GOOD ANGELS TO OUR
00:01:52.01\00:01:55.71
MEETINGS, I BELIEVE
THAT THE DEVIL TRIES TO SEND
00:01:55.74\00:01:57.65
REPRESENTATIVES TO DISTRACT
AND KEEP PEOPLE FROM HEARING THE
00:01:57.68\00:02:00.48
WORD. THERE ARE BATTLES THAT ARE
RAGING. PAUL TALKS ABOUT US NOT
00:02:00.52\00:02:04.62
WRESTLING AGAINST
FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST
00:02:04.65\00:02:06.72
PRINCIPALITIES AND
POWERS - SPIRITUAL FORCES OF
00:02:06.76\00:02:09.46
WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES.
THERE IS A GOD, THERE ARE GOOD
00:02:09.49\00:02:14.13
ANGELS, AND THERE IS A DEVIL
- THERE IS AN EVIL POWER IN THE
00:02:14.20\00:02:17.23
WORLD. I THINK, AS YOU LOOK
AT WHAT'S HAPPENED IN HISTORY,
00:02:17.27\00:02:21.07
YOU'D HAVE TO SAY
THAT THERE IS EVIL.
00:02:21.10\00:02:24.27
YOU LOOK AT WHAT SOME TERRORISTS
DO, WHERE THEY PUT A PERSON IN A
00:02:24.31\00:02:26.61
CAGE AND DOUSE THEM WITH
GASOLINE AND VIDEOTAPE AS THEY
00:02:26.64\00:02:30.21
SET THEM ON FIRE -
THAT IS JUST INCARNATE EVIL.
00:02:30.25\00:02:34.62
ONE OF THE REASONS SOME PEOPLE
TURN TO GOD IS THEY SAY, 'YOU
00:02:34.65\00:02:36.58
KNOW, I WASN'T SO SURE ABOUT
GOD BUT, WHEN I BECAME CONVINCED
00:02:36.62\00:02:39.29
THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTE EVIL,
THEN I THOUGHT, THERE MUST BE
00:02:39.32\00:02:43.32
GOOD. THERE MUST BE GOD.' AMEN.
00:02:43.36\00:02:45.69
AND WE CAN CERTAINLY SEE THE
EVIDENCE FOR EVIL IN THE WORLD.
00:02:45.73\00:02:48.50
WHEN GOD CREATED ADAM AND
EVE, WHAT WAS THE ONE THING HE
00:02:48.53\00:02:51.43
FORBADE THEM FROM DOING? HE
SAID, "BUT OF THE TREE OF THE
00:02:51.47\00:02:55.17
KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL,
YOU SHALL NOT EAT OF IT." AMEN?
00:02:55.20\00:03:00.21
AND THAT, BY THE
WAY, IS GENESIS 2:17.
00:03:00.24\00:03:02.71
HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE FREE. THIS IS A PARADISE.
00:03:02.74\00:03:05.71
I'VE MADE THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD
- BEAUTIFUL GARDEN - IT'S ALL
00:03:05.75\00:03:07.68
YOURS. I'VE GOT
ONE RESTRICTION: THE
00:03:07.72\00:03:10.42
DEVIL'S BEEN TOLD THE
ONLY PLACE THAT HE CAN CAMPAIGN
00:03:10.45\00:03:14.32
IS AT THAT TREE. AND
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT HIM
00:03:14.36\00:03:16.16
AND RESIST HIM AND
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
00:03:16.19\00:03:18.63
BUT, IF YOU ENGAGE
HIM, IT COULD BE DEADLY.
00:03:18.66\00:03:21.90
DON'T EAT FROM THIS FORBIDDEN
FRUIT.' AND THEY DIDN'T LISTEN -
00:03:21.93\00:03:25.93
THE FRUIT OF THE TREE, YEAH.
HE SAID, "FOR IN THE DAY THAT
00:03:25.97\00:03:29.37
YOU EAT OF IT YOU
SHALL SURELY DIE."
00:03:29.40\00:03:32.74
NOW, WHAT THE LORD MEANS BY THAT
IS, 'IN DYING, YOU WILL DIE' -
00:03:32.77\00:03:36.21
IS THE WAY THAT READS IN
THE HEBREW - THAT YOU WILL
00:03:36.24\00:03:38.38
DEFINITELY DIE EVENTUALLY.
THEY DIED SPIRITUALLY THE DAY
00:03:38.41\00:03:41.88
THEY DISOBEYED AND, OF
COURSE, ADAM AND EVE BOTH DIED
00:03:41.92\00:03:45.22
WITHIN THAT FIRST MILLENNIA.
'A DAY WITH THE LORD IS LIKE
00:03:45.25\00:03:47.42
A THOUSAND YEARS,' RIGHT?
AND SO, WE KNOW THE STORY.
00:03:47.46\00:03:52.99
WHAT MEDIUM DID SATAN USE TO
DECEIVE EVE AND WHAT LIES DID
00:03:53.03\00:03:57.03
SATAN TELL HER?
WELL, YOU KNOW, HE APPEARED
00:03:57.07\00:04:01.07
THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF A SERPENT.
NOW, THE SERPENT IS JUST ANOTHER
00:04:01.10\00:04:05.37
CREATURE, BUT IT SAYS IT
WAS A VERY HYPNOTIC, BEAUTIFUL,
00:04:05.41\00:04:08.38
SUBTLE CREATURE.
"NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE
00:04:08.41\00:04:11.18
CUNNING THAN ANY BEAST OF
THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD
00:04:11.21\00:04:13.75
MADE...THEN THE SERPENT SAID TO
THE WOMAN, 'YOU WILL NOT SURELY
00:04:13.78\00:04:18.22
DIE.'" FIRST QUESTION IN
THE BIBLE IS HE QUESTIONED GOD'S
00:04:18.25\00:04:22.02
WORD - 'HATH GOD SAID' -
YOU NOTICE THE CYNICISM -
00:04:22.06\00:04:25.86
DOUBTING THE WORD OF GOD.
ALL THE SIN IN OUR WORLD TODAY
00:04:25.89\00:04:28.23
COMES FROM THE DEVIL
DOUBTING THE WORD OF GOD.
00:04:28.26\00:04:30.67
AND HE SAID, 'YOU'RE
NOT REALLY GOING TO DIE.
00:04:30.70\00:04:33.10
DON'T - GOD DIDN'T REALLY MEAN
WHAT HE SAID.' AND, BECAUSE OUR
00:04:33.13\00:04:35.77
FIRST PARENTS CHOSE NOT TO
BELIEVE GOD'S WORD AND, INSTEAD,
00:04:35.80\00:04:39.74
THEY BELIEVED THE DEVIL,
WE'VE GOT ALL THESE PROBLEMS.
00:04:39.77\00:04:42.41
REVELATION 12 - NOTICE, SATAN IS
ALSO CALLED 'THAT OLD SERPENT' -
00:04:42.44\00:04:47.02
"...THE DRAGON WAS CAST OUT,
THAT SERPENT...CALLED THE DEVIL
00:04:47.05\00:04:50.12
AND SATAN" - SO THERE'S NO
QUESTION WHO THE DRAGON, WHO THE
00:04:50.15\00:04:53.52
SERPENT, WHO THE DEVIL -
YOU KNOW, THE WORD 'SATAN' MEANS
00:04:53.56\00:04:56.79
'ADVERSARY'. AND,
IF YOU TAKE THE WORD
00:04:56.83\00:04:59.06
'DEVIL' AND YOU TAKE OFF
THE 'D', WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
00:04:59.09\00:05:01.60
EVIL. EVIL. HE
IS CONSUMMATE EVIL.
00:05:01.63\00:05:06.23
AND THEN, FINALLY, THAT FIRST
PROPHECY - THE LORD SAYS, THERE
00:05:06.27\00:05:09.07
IN GENESIS 3:15, "I WILL
PUT ENMITY BETWEEN YOU AND THE
00:05:09.10\00:05:13.68
WOMAN, AND BETWEEN YOUR SEED AND
HER SEED;" AND SO, THROUGH THE
00:05:13.71\00:05:16.95
BOOK OF REVELATION AND ALL
THROUGH THE BIBLE, YOU SEE THIS
00:05:16.98\00:05:19.15
CONTEST GOING ON BETWEEN
THE SEED OF THE WOMAN - CHRIST'S
00:05:19.18\00:05:24.19
FOLLOWERS - AND - OF COURSE,
JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE SEED OF
00:05:24.22\00:05:27.89
THE WOMAN - AND THE DRAGON - THE
DEVIL - BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND
00:05:27.92\00:05:31.43
EVIL. YOU'VE ALL
HEARD THE FAIRY TALES
00:05:31.46\00:05:34.20
ABOUT THE KNIGHT IN
SHINING ARMOR THAT SAVES THE
00:05:34.20\00:05:37.30
MAIDEN FROM THE DRAGON.
KIND OF - ALL THOSE ARE KIND OF
00:05:37.33\00:05:41.00
ROOTED IN SOME TRUTH
THAT YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE.
00:05:41.04\00:05:43.71
YOU CAN ALSO SEE IT AGAIN HERE
IN REVELATION 12:17 WHERE IT
00:05:43.74\00:05:47.21
TELLS US THAT "THE DRAGON WAS
ENRAGED WITH THE WOMAN, AND HE
00:05:47.24\00:05:51.01
WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH THE REST
OF HER OFFSPRING," - YOU SEE
00:05:51.05\00:05:53.82
JESUS - GENESIS - TALKED
ABOUT THE SEED OF THE WOMAN.
00:05:53.85\00:05:56.85
HERE, YOU GO TO THE END OF THE
BIBLE - BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE
00:05:56.89\00:05:59.35
YOU'VE GOT THE DRAGON, THE
SERPENT, THE WOMAN, THE SEED OF
00:05:59.39\00:06:01.69
THE WOMAN. NOW YOU
GO TO REVELATION, YOU'VE
00:06:01.72\00:06:03.83
GOT THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT, AND
THE WOMAN - AND HE'S TRYING TO
00:06:03.86\00:06:07.73
DESTROY THE SEED OF THE
WOMAN. WE'LL GET BACK TO
00:06:07.76\00:06:10.00
THAT ON ANOTHER STUDY.
WHO DOES HE ESPECIALLY HATE?
00:06:10.03\00:06:13.70
THE DESCENDANTS OF THE WOMAN
"WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
00:06:13.74\00:06:16.91
GOD AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS"
- THEY'VE GOT THE TESTIMONY OF
00:06:16.94\00:06:21.64
JESUS. AND SO,
THE DEVIL HATES PEOPLE
00:06:21.68\00:06:24.11
THAT OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.
SO, WHY WAS EATING A PIECE OF
00:06:24.15\00:06:29.28
FRUIT SUCH A DEADLY OFFENSE?
IT'S JUST A PIECE OF FRUIT; WHY
00:06:29.32\00:06:33.05
ALL THE TROUBLE IN THE WORLD
FROM EATING THE WRONG THING?
00:06:33.09\00:06:36.09
WELL, BECAUSE, FIRST OF
ALL, GOD COMMANDED THEM NOT TO.
00:06:36.12\00:06:39.19
I DID AN AMAZING FACT - YOU
KNOW, EVERY WEEK WE DO AMAZING
00:06:39.23\00:06:41.36
FACTS ON OUR RADIO PROGRAM AND
I DID AN AMAZING FACT ABOUT THE
00:06:41.40\00:06:45.70
MANCHINEEL TREE - THEY ACTUALLY
GROW HERE IN FLORIDA AND AROUND
00:06:45.73\00:06:48.70
THE CARIBBEAN - AND IT'S
CALLED 'THE TREE OF DEATH'.
00:06:48.74\00:06:53.31
COLUMBUS CALLED THEM 'DEATH
APPLES'. THEY HAVE APPLES AND
00:06:53.34\00:06:57.18
THEY LOOK VERY
LUSCIOUS. THEY EVEN SMELL SWEET.
00:06:57.21\00:06:59.65
BUT IF YOU EAT ONE
YOU COULD EASILY DIE.
00:06:59.68\00:07:02.12
IT'LL CAUSE - IT'LL BURN YOUR
THROAT - YOUR THROAT WOULD SWELL
00:07:02.15\00:07:04.09
UP AND IT CAN CAUSE - IT WILL
CAUSE ALL KINDS OF GASTRONOMICAL
00:07:04.12\00:07:07.06
PROBLEMS AND PERMANENT INJURY
AND LIVER AND KIDNEY PROBLEMS.
00:07:07.09\00:07:10.76
IF YOU'RE EVEN UNDER THAT TREE
WHEN IT'S RAINING, THE SAP FROM
00:07:10.79\00:07:14.00
THE TREE COMING ONTO YOUR
SKIN CAN BLISTER YOUR SKIN.
00:07:14.00\00:07:17.87
IT'S A VERY TOXIC TREE.
AND THEY'VE GOT THESE SIGNS
00:07:17.90\00:07:20.00
EVERYWHERE - 'WARNING! -
STAY AWAY FROM THIS TREE!'
00:07:20.04\00:07:24.77
I READ ABOUT A TOURIST THAT WAS
IN SOME CARIBBEAN ISLAND WHERE
00:07:24.81\00:07:27.91
THERE WAS ONE OF THESE TREES
- THEY KEEP THEM FOR EROSION ON
00:07:27.94\00:07:30.15
THE COAST - AND
THEY DIDN'T HAVE A SIGN.
00:07:30.18\00:07:33.55
AND SHE AND HER FRIEND SAID,
'OH, THAT LOOKS GOOD.' AND, OH,
00:07:33.58\00:07:36.75
THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF MISERABLE
PROBLEMS AND PAIN AND SUFFERING
00:07:36.79\00:07:40.12
BECAUSE THEY ATE
THIS DEADLY TREE.
00:07:40.16\00:07:42.39
WELL, GOD TOLD ADAM AND EVE NOT
TO EAT THE TREE AND, IT WASN'T
00:07:42.42\00:07:45.53
THAT THE FRUIT HURT THEM, IT WAS
THE DISOBEDIENCE THAT DID IT.
00:07:45.56\00:07:48.80
YOU SEE, THE BIBLE SAYS, IN
ROMANS 6:16, "DO YOU NOT KNOW
00:07:48.83\00:07:53.13
THAT TO WHOM YOU PRESENT
YOURSELVES SLAVES [OR SERVANTS]
00:07:53.17\00:07:56.94
TO OBEY, YOU ARE THAT ONE'S
SLAVES WHOM YOU OBEY, WHETHER OF
00:07:56.97\00:08:00.84
SIN LEADING TO DEATH,
OR OF OBEDIENCE LEADING TO
00:08:00.88\00:08:04.18
RIGHTEOUSNESS." AND,
WHEN ADAM AND EVE DECIDED
00:08:04.21\00:08:06.78
TO FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS - OR THE
SUGGESTION OF THE SERPENT - THE
00:08:06.82\00:08:10.65
DEVIL, INSTEAD OF GOD, THEY
SURRENDERED THE DOMINION OF THIS
00:08:10.69\00:08:14.56
WORLD THAT GOD HAD GIVEN
ADAM AND EVE, TO THE ENEMY.
00:08:14.59\00:08:18.69
YOU SEE, ADAM WAS TO HAVE
DOMINION OF THE WORLD - AND EVE.
00:08:18.73\00:08:21.40
AND WHEN THEY CHOSE TO LISTEN TO
THE DEVIL INSTEAD OF GOD, THEY
00:08:21.43\00:08:24.07
HANDED OVER THE KEYS AND THE
DEVIL DECIDED TO CONTINUE HIS
00:08:24.10\00:08:28.24
REBELLION WITH THIS PLANET
AS THE BEACHHEAD FOR HIS WAR
00:08:28.27\00:08:32.71
AGAINST GOD. WHAT ARE
SOME OF SATAN'S METHODS
00:08:32.74\00:08:35.84
THAT HE USES TO DECEIVE,
DISCOURAGE, OR TO DESTROY
00:08:35.88\00:08:39.38
PEOPLE? WE'RE
GOING TO GO THROUGH
00:08:39.41\00:08:41.42
A LIST OF THINGS HERE.
FIRST OF ALL, IT SAYS SATAN IS
00:08:41.45\00:08:45.42
THE ONE WHO DECEIVES THE WHOLE
WORLD. SATAN IS A DECEIVER.
00:08:45.45\00:08:48.26
DECEPTION IS THE
CO-MINGLING OF TRUTH AND ERROR.
00:08:48.29\00:08:51.76
HE WILL TAKE SOMETHING GOOD
AND HE'LL MIX IN SOMETHING BAD.
00:08:51.79\00:08:54.76
AND YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW
DEADLY AND DANGEROUS IT IS.
00:08:54.83\00:08:58.17
HE CAME TO JESUS IN THE
WILDERNESS AND HE TEMPTED HIM.
00:08:58.20\00:09:01.50
DO YOU THINK THE DEVIL APPEARED
AS - WHEN THE DEVIL CAME TO
00:09:01.54\00:09:04.57
TEMPT JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS
AND HE'S FASTED 40 DAYS, YOU
00:09:04.61\00:09:08.24
THINK SATAN JUST KIND OF PLOPPED
DOWN ON THE GROUND AND HE HAD
00:09:08.28\00:09:10.85
HIS RED LEOTARDS AND HIS, YOU
KNOW, HIS GOAT FEET - I NEVER
00:09:10.88\00:09:13.78
DID MENTION THE GOAT FEET.
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE
00:09:13.82\00:09:15.55
DEVIL'S GOT GOAT FEET, RIGHT?
I'M BEING SARCASTIC, SORRY.
00:09:15.58\00:09:19.05
AND HE, YOU KNOW, HIS HORNS AND
HIS BAT WINGS AND HE SAID, 'I'VE
00:09:19.09\00:09:22.02
GOT A PROPOSITION FOR YOU.'
WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ANYBODY THAT
00:09:22.06\00:09:24.89
LOOKED LIKE THAT, THAT
CAME WITH A PROPOSITION?
00:09:24.93\00:09:28.13
HOW DO YOU THINK
HE APPEARED TO JESUS?
00:09:28.16\00:09:31.27
REMEMBER, WE QUOTED THAT VERSE
- HE CAN APPEAR AS AN ANGEL OF
00:09:31.30\00:09:33.57
LIGHT. HE WAS BEING DECEPTIVE.
CHRIST WAS THERE IN THE
00:09:33.60\00:09:37.14
WILDERNESS TEMPTED BY
THE DEVIL. SATAN TEMPTS.
00:09:37.17\00:09:40.51
NOW, YOU'LL OFTEN SAY, 'JESUS
SAVE ME' - AND I ALMOST HAD A
00:09:40.54\00:09:44.35
CAR ACCIDENT BUT JESUS SAVED
ME.' REALLY, JESUS PROBABLY DID
00:09:44.38\00:09:47.08
IT THROUGH HIS ANGELS.
SOMETIMES YOU'LL SAY 'THE DEVIL
00:09:47.12\00:09:50.72
TEMPTED ME.' I DON'T KNOW IF
ANY OF YOU REMEMBER A COMEDIAN
00:09:50.75\00:09:53.59
NAMED FLIP WILSON. HE
BECAME FAMOUS FOR SAYING,
00:09:53.62\00:09:55.56
'THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT.' THE
DEVIL - CAN THE DEVIL MAKE YOU?
00:09:55.59\00:10:00.00
NOT UNLESS YOU'RE DEMON
POSSESSED - MOST OF US HAVE TO
00:10:00.03\00:10:01.70
COOPERATE. WE
SURRENDER OUR WILLS.
00:10:01.73\00:10:04.00
IF THE DEVIL HAD TAKEN EVE
AND HELD HER TO THE GROUND AND
00:10:04.03\00:10:07.17
PUSHED THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT
IN HER MOUTH, IT WOULD NOT HAVE
00:10:07.20\00:10:09.64
BEEN A SIN. BUT SHE
HAD TO WILLINGLY CHOOSE.
00:10:09.67\00:10:13.44
AND, TYPICALLY WHEN WE SIN, WE
ARE CHOOSING TO DO WHAT WE KNOW
00:10:13.48\00:10:17.48
IS NOT RIGHT. SO HE'S A TEMPTER.
CAN THE DEVIL WORK MIRACLES?
00:10:17.51\00:10:23.52
REVELATION CHAPTER 16, VERSE
14 - AND OUR SPECIAL EMPHASIS IN
00:10:23.55\00:10:27.22
OUR PROPHECY ENCOUNTER IN
REVELATION SAYS, 'THEY ARE THE
00:10:27.26\00:10:29.96
SPIRITS OF
DEVILS WORKING MIRACLES.
00:10:29.99\00:10:33.23
SO, CAN THE DEVIL
COUNTERFEIT THE MIRACLES OF GOD?
00:10:33.26\00:10:36.80
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY IN
THE BIBLE WHEN MOSES CAME BEFORE
00:10:36.83\00:10:39.43
PHARAOH AND SAID, 'LET MY PEOPLE
GO' AND TO SHOW THAT GOD WAS
00:10:39.47\00:10:42.17
WITH HIM HE THREW HIS STAFF DOWN
AND IT TURNED INTO A SERPENT.
00:10:42.20\00:10:45.21
THE PHARAOH CALLED IN HIS
MAGICIANS - THEY THREW DOWN
00:10:45.24\00:10:48.68
THEIR STAFFS - THEY
TURNED INTO SERPENTS.
00:10:48.71\00:10:51.68
WAS THAT THE POWER OF GOD
OR THE POWER OF THE DEVIL?
00:10:51.71\00:10:55.45
SATAN CAN DO SIGNS
AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES.
00:10:55.48\00:10:57.92
SO SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, I
LISTEN TO THAT PASTOR BECAUSE HE
00:10:57.95\00:11:00.26
DOES MIRACLES - HE DOES
SIGNS AND WONDERS.' IF HE'S NOT
00:11:00.29\00:11:04.09
FOLLOWING THE WORD OF GOD, THOSE
MIRACLES CAN BE COUNTERFEITS.
00:11:04.13\00:11:07.76
AND SO, DON'T FORGET THE DEVIL
CAN COUNTERFEIT THOSE SIGNS
00:11:07.83\00:11:10.77
AND WONDERS. IN FACT,
REVELATION 13:13 - THAT
00:11:10.80\00:11:14.37
SAME CHAPTER WHERE IT TALKS
ABOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST, IT
00:11:14.40\00:11:16.57
SAYS, "HE PERFORMS GREAT SIGNS,
SO THAT HE EVEN MAKES FIRE COME
00:11:16.60\00:11:20.51
DOWN FROM HEAVEN ON THE
EARTH IN THE SIGHT OF MEN."
00:11:20.54\00:11:24.25
THE DEVIL DOES HAVE POWER AND
SO, OUR DECISION ABOUT FOLLOWING
00:11:24.28\00:11:27.72
JESUS CANNOT BE BASED UPON SIGNS
AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES, IT
00:11:27.75\00:11:32.02
NEEDS TO BE BASED UPON
'THUS SAITH THE LORD' - AMEN?
00:11:32.05\00:11:35.42
BECAUSE SATAN, HIMSELF, CAN
BE TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF
00:11:35.46\00:11:39.63
LIGHT. MATTER OF
FACT, I BELIEVE THE
00:11:39.66\00:11:42.03
MASTERPIECE - SEE, GOD CAME
INTO THE WORLD THROUGH A MAN,
00:11:42.06\00:11:47.50
JESUS, TO TEACH US THE
TRUTH. BEFORE THE END OF TIME, I
00:11:47.54\00:11:51.17
THINK SATAN IS GOING TO EITHER
THOROUGHLY POSSESS A MAN OR
00:11:51.21\00:11:54.28
IMPERSONATE CHRIST, AND
HE'S GOING TO TRY TO DO HIS
00:11:54.31\00:11:58.15
MASTERPIECE PERFORMANCE
PRETENDING TO BE CHRIST.
00:11:58.18\00:12:02.55

THEN WHY IS THERE EVIL?
00:12:09.69\00:12:11.93

SO, HOW ABOUT WE GET
BACK TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION
00:12:44.59\00:12:47.03
AND LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING
FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:47.10\00:12:50.10
JESUS WARNED US, IN MATTHEW 7,
BEWARE OF THE DEVIL THAT HE IS
00:12:51.23\00:12:55.40
AS - IT SAYS, 'THESE FALSE
PROPHETS WHO WILL COME TO YOU IN
00:12:55.44\00:12:59.11
SHEEP'S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY
THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES.'
00:12:59.14\00:13:03.98
AND, I THINK WE ALL KNOW
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME PASTORS AND
00:13:04.01\00:13:06.28
EVANGELISTS OUT THERE THAT THEY
PUT ON A GOOD SHOW, BUT ON THE
00:13:06.31\00:13:10.92
INSIDE IT WAS ALL ABOUT THEM
- IT WAS ALL ABOUT GAINING MONEY
00:13:10.95\00:13:14.52
OR WEALTH OR FAME, BUT THE
MINISTERS OF CHRIST ARE GOING TO
00:13:14.56\00:13:17.99
LIFT UP CHRIST AND HIS WORD.
REVELATION 12:10 - ANOTHER THING
00:13:18.03\00:13:22.40
THE DEVIL DOES - HE'S CALLED
'THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN'.
00:13:22.43\00:13:26.80
HE'S ALWAYS CASTING INNUENDO.
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY IN THE
00:13:26.84\00:13:29.74
BIBLE WHERE, AT THE SUPPER,
MARY GAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL GIFT TO
00:13:29.77\00:13:33.64
JESUS AND SHE ANOINTED HIS FEET
- ANOINTED HIS HEAD AND HIS FEET
00:13:33.68\00:13:36.85
WITH THIS OIL AND CRIED AND
WASHED HIS FEET WITH HER TEARS.
00:13:36.88\00:13:40.05
YOU REMEMBER THE STORY?
AND JUDAS SAW HER GENEROSITY
00:13:40.08\00:13:43.28
AND IT - IT CONVICTED HIS GREED,
BECAUSE HE WAS A THIEF, AND HE
00:13:43.32\00:13:46.62
SAID, 'WHAT A
TERRIBLE WASTE OF MONEY.
00:13:46.65\00:13:49.02
ALL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN
SOLD AND GIVEN TO THE POOR.'
00:13:49.06\00:13:51.33
HE BEGAN TO ACCUSE HER -
THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL.
00:13:51.36\00:13:54.30
YOU REMEMBER WHEN SATAN, IN THE
BIBLE, IN THE BOOK OF JOB, SATAN
00:13:54.30\00:13:56.73
APPEARS TO THE LORD AND SAYS,
'OH, THE ONLY REASON JOB SERVES
00:13:56.77\00:13:59.53
YOU IS BECAUSE YOU'VE HEDGED
HIM IN.' AND YOU CAN READ IN THE
00:13:59.57\00:14:02.50
BOOK OF ZECHARIAH HOW THE DEVIL
IS THERE - HE'S POINTING TO
00:14:02.54\00:14:05.27
JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST AND HE'S
ACCUSING HIS DIRTY GARMENTS.
00:14:05.31\00:14:08.48
SATAN IS ALWAYS
ACCUSING GOD'S PEOPLE.
00:14:08.51\00:14:11.31
JESUS CAME TO RESURRECT MOSES
AND THE DEVIL SAID, 'YOU CAN'T
00:14:11.35\00:14:14.25
HAVE HIM, HE SINNED.
AND MICHAEL SAID, 'THE LORD
00:14:14.28\00:14:16.82
REBUKE THEE.' SO THE DEVIL
IS ALWAYS - HE'S OUT TO GET US -
00:14:16.85\00:14:20.62
HE'S TO ACCUSE US BEFORE GOD
- THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN.
00:14:20.66\00:14:24.16
YOU PROBABLY KNOW SOME
PEOPLE LIKE THAT, RIGHT?
00:14:24.19\00:14:27.03
ALWAYS GOSSIPING AND PUTTING
OTHER PEOPLE DOWN - THAT'S NOT
00:14:27.10\00:14:29.23
THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
SOMETHING ELSE WE LEARNED ABOUT
00:14:29.26\00:14:32.20
HIM, JESUS SAID, 'HE IS A
MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING.'
00:14:32.23\00:14:37.27
HOW POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE
ARE SATAN'S TEMPTATIONS
00:14:37.31\00:14:40.54
AND HIS STRATEGIES?
THAT'S OUR NEXT QUESTION.
00:14:40.58\00:14:43.85
WELL, IT SAYS THERE'LL BE FALSE
CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS.
00:14:43.88\00:14:46.72
THEY WILL RISE AND THEY'RE GOING
TO SHOW GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS
00:14:46.75\00:14:50.32
TO DECEIVE MANY. WE
ALSO JUST READ ABOUT THAT -
00:14:50.35\00:14:52.95
SIGNS AND WONDERS -
DEVILS - IN REVELATION.
00:14:52.99\00:14:56.16
IT GOES ON TO SAY, IN MATTHEW
24, 'IF IT WERE POSSIBLE THEY'D
00:14:56.19\00:14:58.79
DECEIVE EVEN THE VERY ELECT.'
"BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT;" - PETER
00:14:58.83\00:15:03.83
SAYS - 1 PETER 5:8 - "BECAUSE
YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS
00:15:03.87\00:15:07.44
ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION,
SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR."
00:15:07.47\00:15:11.74
I REMEMBER ABOUT A YEAR AGO,
KAREN AND I WERE IN SOUTH AFRICA
00:15:11.77\00:15:14.71
WITH PASTOR ROSS AND HIS WIFE,
AND WE WENT TO THIS PARK AND WE
00:15:14.74\00:15:18.05
SAW THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRIDE
OF WHITE LIONS. AND THEY'RE
00:15:18.08\00:15:23.35
BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT BUT, BOY
THEY WERE VICIOUS WHEN THEY FED
00:15:23.39\00:15:25.45
THEM. WE GOT TO WATCH THEM WHEN
THEY ATE. THEY WEREN'T VERY -
00:15:25.49\00:15:28.02
YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T SHARE VERY
WELL - LIONS - AND LIONS USE
00:15:28.06\00:15:32.39
DECEPTION WHEN THEY HUNT.
THEY GET - YOU KNOW, ONE LION
00:15:32.43\00:15:35.83
GOES AROUND BEHIND THE GAZELLE
OR THE ZEBRA AND THE OTHER ONE
00:15:35.86\00:15:38.63
ROARS AND THEY'D GO RUNNING OFF
INTO THE MOUTH OF THE LIONESSES.
00:15:38.67\00:15:41.94
THE DEVIL USES DECEPTION - HE'S
PROWLING ALL THE TIME - PACING -
00:15:41.97\00:15:46.41
TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO
DEVOUR. IT SAYS, 'BE SOBER,
00:15:46.44\00:15:49.94
BE VIGILANT' - AND RESIST
HIM STEADFAST IN THE FAITH. HE'S
00:15:49.98\00:15:54.78
SEEKING WHOM HE MIGHT DEVOUR.
NOW THERE ARE THREE PRINCIPLE
00:15:54.82\00:15:57.99
AREAS OF TEMPTATION - THE BIBLE
TALKS ABOUT - YOU'VE GOT THE
00:15:58.02\00:16:02.26
LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST
OF THE EYES, THE PRIDE OF LIFE.
00:16:02.29\00:16:04.76
THESE ARE THE SAME THREE
AREAS WHERE JESUS WAS TEMPTED.
00:16:04.79\00:16:08.30
HE CAME TO CHRIST, HE SAID, 'IF
YOU'RE THE SON OF GOD, COMMAND
00:16:08.33\00:16:11.57
THAT THESE STONES BECOME BREAD.'
- THIS IS A PHYSICAL TEMPTATION.
00:16:11.60\00:16:15.04
YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, 'OH,
JESUS HAS NEVER BEEN TEMPTED
00:16:15.07\00:16:17.31
LIKE ME. HE DIDN'T
HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH
00:16:17.34\00:16:18.91
CIGARETTES.' OR MAYBE HE DIDN'T
HAVE TO STRUGGLE - MAYBE YOU'VE
00:16:18.94\00:16:21.84
GOT A CRACK ADDICTION - IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS - IT
00:16:21.88\00:16:24.95
MIGHT BE FOOD -
WHATEVER YOUR ADDICTION IS.
00:16:24.98\00:16:26.95
THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT YOU'VE
GOT THE LUST OF THE FLESH -
00:16:26.98\00:16:29.25
PHYSICAL ADDICTION - WHATEVER IT
IS, JESUS GOT THE VICTORY OVER
00:16:29.28\00:16:32.62
THAT. YOU CAN GET THE VICTORY
00:16:32.65\00:16:33.99
THROUGH CHRIST.
THAT WAS ONE CATEGORY.
00:16:34.02\00:16:37.03
JESUS ANSWERED WITH THE WORD OF
GOD, 'IT IS WRITTEN, 'MAN SHALL
00:16:37.06\00:16:40.00
NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT
BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM
00:16:40.03\00:16:43.70
THE MOUTH OF GOD.'' SO, IN THE
WORD OF GOD IS WHERE YOU FIND
00:16:43.73\00:16:46.43
THE ANTIDOTE FOR
THESE TEMPTATIONS.
00:16:46.47\00:16:49.00
THERE'S POWER
IN THE WORD OF GOD.
00:16:49.04\00:16:50.61
THE WORLD CAME INTO EXISTENCE
THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD.
00:16:50.64\00:16:53.21
AND SO, WHEN WE SPEAK AND CLAIM
THE PROMISES OF GOD, HE GIVES US
00:16:53.24\00:16:56.11
VICTORY. AMEN.
00:16:56.14\00:16:57.65
THEN THE DEVIL TOOK HIM TO THE
HOLY CITY AND HE SET HIM ON THE
00:16:57.68\00:17:00.95
PINNACLE OF THE TEMPLE AND
HE SAID, 'IF YOU ARE THE SON OF
00:17:00.98\00:17:05.02
GOD, THROW YOURSELF DOWN,
FOR IT IS WRITTEN' - WHOA, WHAT?
00:17:05.05\00:17:08.62
NOW THE DEVIL'S
QUOTING THE BIBLE.
00:17:08.66\00:17:10.43
YOU MEAN THE
DEVIL READS THE BIBLE?
00:17:10.46\00:17:11.79
I THOUGHT THE DEVIL
WAS AFRAID OF THE BIBLE.
00:17:11.83\00:17:13.93
YOU THINK OWNING A BIBLE'S
GOING TO SCARE THE DEVIL.
00:17:13.96\00:17:16.33
'PASTOR DOUG, THE
DEVIL WON'T BOTHER ME.
00:17:16.36\00:17:17.67
I'VE GOT A BIBLE
RIGHT BY MY NIGHTSTAND.
00:17:17.70\00:17:20.17
I NEVER READ IT, BUT IT'S
THERE.' IT'S LIKE MY FRIEND WHO
00:17:20.20\00:17:22.80
HUNG A CROSS FROM HIS MIRROR,
I SAID, 'WHAT'S THAT FOR?'
00:17:22.84\00:17:25.07
I SAID, 'YOU'RE NOT VERY
RELIGIOUS.' HE SAID,' 'I DON'T
00:17:25.11\00:17:26.94
WANT TO HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN I'M
DRIVING DRUNK SO I HANG MY CROSS
00:17:26.98\00:17:29.24
UP THERE.' GOOD LUCK CHARM -
'NO, I DON'T TAKE UP MY CROSS,
00:17:29.28\00:17:33.78
BUT I HANG IT ON MY MIRROR' -
AS THOUGH THERE'S SOME VALUE IN
00:17:33.82\00:17:36.58
THAT. THAT'S NOT
WHAT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU.
00:17:36.62\00:17:38.72
OWNING A BIBLE'S
NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU.
00:17:38.75\00:17:40.76
'THY WORD I HAVE HIDDEN IN
MY HEART THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN
00:17:40.79\00:17:44.83
AGAINST YOU.' YOU'VE GOT TO READ
IT AND THEN YOU QUOTE IT BACK TO
00:17:44.86\00:17:47.56
THE DEVIL. SO HE'S QUOTING
00:17:47.60\00:17:48.93
THE BIBLE TO JESUS. 'IT
IS WRITTEN, 'HE'LL GIVE HIS
00:17:48.96\00:17:53.13
ANGEL CHARGE OVER YOU.''
HE'S QUOTING - OR MISQUOTING,
00:17:53.17\00:17:56.00
ACTUALLY, PSALM 91. HE
DIDN'T QUOTE THE WHOLE THING.
00:17:56.04\00:17:58.41
JESUS CAME BACK AND 'OH, IT
IS WRITTEN, 'YOU SHALL NOT TEMPT
00:17:58.44\00:18:02.04
THE LORD YOUR GOD.'' BY THE WAY,
ALL THREE TIMES, WHEN JESUS MET
00:18:02.08\00:18:05.15
THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE
DEVIL, HE QUOTES FROM THE BOOK
00:18:05.18\00:18:07.85
DEUTERONOMY. SO,
OLD TESTAMENT WAS GOOD
00:18:07.88\00:18:11.19
ENOUGH FOR JESUS, IT
STILL SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH
00:18:11.22\00:18:12.95
FOR US TODAY, TOO, RIGHT?
ALONG WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:18:12.99\00:18:15.79
BUT DON'T THROW
AWAY YOUR OLD TESTAMENT.
00:18:15.82\00:18:18.23
AGAIN, THE DEVIL TOOK HIM TO AN
EXCEEDING HIGH MOUNTAIN AND HE
00:18:18.26\00:18:21.00
SHOWS HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS
OF THE WORLD IN ALL THEIR GLORY.
00:18:21.03\00:18:24.43
HE DOESN'T SHOW THE SLUMS,
HE DOESN'T SHOW THE PROBLEMS, HE
00:18:24.47\00:18:26.47
DOESN'T SHOW THE TRAFFIC JAMS.
HE SAYS, 'ALL THIS I'LL GIVE
00:18:26.50\00:18:29.54
YOU IF YOU JUST FALL
DOWN AND WORSHIP ME.'
00:18:29.57\00:18:31.81
NOW THE DEVIL IS
SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS.
00:18:31.84\00:18:33.78
WHAT DID HE WANT? WORSHIP.
00:18:33.81\00:18:35.44
HE WANTS THE WORSHIP - IF
JESUS WOULD WORSHIP HIM HE WOULD
00:18:35.48\00:18:37.75
BE GOD. HE SAID,
'YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE.
00:18:37.78\00:18:40.28
YOU'VE COME TO DIE - YOU DON'T
HAVE TO DIE, JUST BOW DOWN AND
00:18:40.32\00:18:43.85
WORSHIP ME.
I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.'
00:18:43.89\00:18:46.69
AND WHAT DID JESUS SAY?
"GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN.
00:18:46.72\00:18:50.03
YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD GOD
AND HIM ONLY SHALL YOU SERVE.
00:18:50.06\00:18:53.83
YOU SHALL NOT HAVE OTHER GODS."
AND THE DEVIL LEFT HIM FOR A
00:18:53.86\00:18:57.50
SEASON. THE
BIBLE SAYS, 'RESIST THE
00:18:57.53\00:18:59.90
DEVIL AND HE'LL FLEE FROM
YOU.' AND YOU READ, AGAIN, IN
00:18:59.93\00:19:02.34
EPHESIANS 6:11, "PUT ON
THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD THAT YOU
00:19:02.37\00:19:06.27
MIGHT BE ABLE TO STAND
AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL."
00:19:06.31\00:19:09.11
GOD KNOWS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
BATTLES AND WE NEED TO BE ARMED.
00:19:09.14\00:19:12.18
YOU NEED TO RESIST. YOU
NEED TO BE PREPARED, EVERY
00:19:12.21\00:19:14.85
DAY, TO DENY SELF
AND SAY 'YES' TO JESUS.
00:19:14.88\00:19:16.95
AND, THE MORE YOU LOVE JESUS,
THE EASIER IT IS TO OBEY HIM AND
00:19:16.99\00:19:21.52
RESIST THE DEVIL. AMEN.
00:19:21.56\00:19:23.16
BECAUSE THE DEVIL WILL ALWAYS
APPEAL TO YOUR SELFISHNESS.
00:19:23.19\00:19:26.09
AND, AGAIN, IT SAYS IN EPHESIANS
6:17, "...THE SWORD OF THE
00:19:26.13\00:19:29.80
SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF
GOD;" 'THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK
00:19:29.83\00:19:33.94
AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER
THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD.
00:19:33.97\00:19:36.47
REVELATION - JESUS IS PICTURED,
IN CHAPTER 19, COMING WITH A
00:19:36.50\00:19:39.37
SWORD COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH,
MEANING THE WORD OF GOD IS IN
00:19:39.41\00:19:42.51
HIS MOUTH. THERE
YOU'VE GOT THAT VERSE IN
00:19:42.54\00:19:44.85
HEBREWS 4, VERSE 12, "FOR
THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND
00:19:44.88\00:19:48.35
POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY
TWO-EDGED SWORD," - YOU READ THE
00:19:48.38\00:19:51.82
WORD, IT'LL
CONVICT YOU FROM SIN.
00:19:51.85\00:19:53.56
BUT YOU ALSO FIND PROMISES
AND POWER IN THE WORD TO RESIST
00:19:53.59\00:19:56.73
TEMPTATION. I THINK IT WAS D.L.
00:19:56.76\00:19:59.53
MOODY THAT SAID, 'THE BIBLE WILL
KEEP YOU FROM SIN OR SIN WILL
00:19:59.56\00:20:01.83
KEEP YOU FROM THE BIBLE.'
SO, IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH
00:20:01.86\00:20:04.47
TEMPTATION, THE DEVIL HATES WHEN
PEOPLE ARE ON THEIR KNEES AND IN
00:20:04.50\00:20:07.97
THE WORD. AMEN?
00:20:08.00\00:20:09.57
THEREFORE, SUBMIT YOURSELF TO
GOD - GREAT PROMISE IN THE BOOK
00:20:09.60\00:20:12.67
OF JAMES CHAPTER
4 - "SUBMIT TO GOD.
00:20:12.71\00:20:15.91
RESIST THE DEVIL" - YOU
CAN'T RESIST THE DEVIL UNTIL YOU
00:20:15.94\00:20:17.88
SURRENDER TO GOD
- "SUBMIT TO GOD.
00:20:17.91\00:20:19.98
RESIST THE DEVIL AND
HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.
00:20:20.02\00:20:22.55
DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND
HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU."
00:20:22.58\00:20:26.76
AMEN. AMEN?
00:20:26.79\00:20:28.09
AMEN. WHO MAKES
THE FINAL, COMPLETE
00:20:28.12\00:20:29.66
ERADICATION OF SIN FROM
THE UNIVERSE A CERTAINTY?
00:20:29.69\00:20:34.00
1 JOHN 3:8 - "FOR THIS IS
THE PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS
00:20:34.03\00:20:37.90
MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT
DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL."
00:20:37.93\00:20:41.67
JESUS IS GOING TO COMPLETELY
ERASE WHAT THE DEVIL HAS DONE.
00:20:41.70\00:20:45.47
HE BEGAN ON THE CROSS.
HE WILL COMPLETE IT WITH HIS
00:20:45.51\00:20:48.48
COMING AND THE GREAT JUDGMENT,
BUT THE LORD IS GOING TO -
00:20:48.51\00:20:51.35
AND HE CAN GIVE YOU COMPLETE
RECOVERY IN YOUR LIFE TOO.
00:20:51.38\00:20:55.05
I HAVEN'T MET A PERSON WHO HAD A
SIN THAT WAS TOO BIG FOR JESUS.
00:20:55.08\00:20:58.65
I HAVE KNOWN PEOPLE THAT HAVE
GOTTEN THE VICTORY OVER ALCOHOL
00:20:58.69\00:21:01.62
AND CIGARETTES AND DRUG AND
ABUSE AND ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS
00:21:01.66\00:21:05.76
BECAUSE THEY GOT A NEW HEART
AND THEY BECAME A NEW CREATURE.
00:21:05.79\00:21:09.00
AND WHAT HE DID FOR
THEM HE CAN DO FOR YOU.
00:21:09.03\00:21:10.67
AMEN. DON'T STOP BELIEVING
00:21:10.70\00:21:12.17
THAT GOD IS MORE POWERFUL.
AND, AGAIN, IT GOES ON TO SAY IN
00:21:12.20\00:21:16.04
HEBREWS 2, VERSE 14, "INASMUCH
THEN AS THE CHILDREN HAVE
00:21:16.07\00:21:19.97
PARTAKEN OF FLESH AND BLOOD, HE
(JESUS) HIMSELF LIKEWISE SHARED
00:21:20.01\00:21:24.08
IN THE SAME, THAT THROUGH DEATH
HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM WHO HAD THE
00:21:24.11\00:21:28.62
POWER OF DEATH,
THAT IS, THE DEVIL."
00:21:28.65\00:21:30.99
THROUGH THE DEATH OF CHRIST HE
IS GOING TO DESTROY THE POWER OF
00:21:31.02\00:21:34.36
SATAN AND WHAT HE'S DONE.
SO WHAT IS IT THAT FOREVER
00:21:34.39\00:21:38.46
SETTLES THE HORRIBLE PROBLEM OF
SIN? AND WILL SIN EVER RISE UP
00:21:38.49\00:21:42.53
AGAIN THE SECOND TIME? NO.
00:21:42.56\00:21:46.07
WHAT SETTLES IT IS
THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS.
00:21:46.10\00:21:49.00
AND YOU CAN READ IN THE BOOK
OF NAHUM - A LITTLE BOOK IN THE
00:21:49.04\00:21:51.41
BIBLE, BUT IT'S GOT A GREAT
PROMISE THERE - CHAPTER 1, VERSE
00:21:51.44\00:21:54.21
9 "...AFFLICTION (SIN)
WILL NOT RISE UP A SECOND TIME."
00:21:54.24\00:21:59.08
AMEN. YOU KNOW,
WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM
00:21:59.11\00:22:00.62
THE DEAD, DID HE STILL HAVE
THE NAIL SCARS IN HIS HANDS?
00:22:00.65\00:22:02.95
YES. IT'S LIKE THAT VERSE IN
00:22:02.98\00:22:05.35
ZECHARIAH, 'AND ONE SHALL
SAY UNTO HIM, 'WHAT ARE THESE
00:22:05.39\00:22:08.26
WOUNDS IN YOUR HANDS?''
SOME OF THESE OLD TESTAMENT
00:22:08.29\00:22:11.46
CHARACTERS, THEY MAY GET THERE
AND SAY, 'WHAT HAPPENED, LORD?
00:22:11.49\00:22:14.36
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.' WHEN JESUS
ROSE, HE STILL HAD THE SCARS.
00:22:14.40\00:22:18.07
AND, THROUGH ETERNITY, WHEN
WE SEE THE SCARS IN HIS HANDS,
00:22:18.10\00:22:20.64
WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH HE
PAID THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN.
00:22:20.67\00:22:23.57
THE UNIVERSE WILL NEVER
WANT TO REPEAT THE EXPERIMENT OF
00:22:23.61\00:22:26.94
SELFISHNESS AND SIN
AGAIN. IT WILL BE FOREVER CURED.
00:22:26.98\00:22:30.58
YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THAT AGAIN.
00:22:30.61\00:22:32.51
THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL APPEAL
IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL 18, VERSE
00:22:32.55\00:22:35.72
30, "REPENT AND TURN FROM ALL
OF YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, SO THAT
00:22:35.75\00:22:41.19
INIQUITY WILL NOT BE YOUR RUIN.
00:22:41.22\00:22:43.63
CAST AWAY FROM YOU ALL THE
TRANSGRESSIONS WHICH YOU HAVE
00:22:43.66\00:22:46.26
COMMITTED, AND GET YOURSELVES
A NEW HEART" - HE SAYS, 'I'M
00:22:46.29\00:22:49.50
OFFERING IT TO YOU'
- "AND A NEW SPIRIT.
00:22:49.53\00:22:51.60
FOR WHY SHOULD YOU
DIE, O HOUSES OF ISRAEL?"
00:22:51.63\00:22:54.30
MOSES - HE SAID, 'I'M SETTING
BEFORE YOU LIFE AND GOOD,
00:22:54.34\00:22:57.24
BLESSING AND DEATH' - 'LIFE AND
DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING' -
00:22:57.27\00:23:01.28
YOU CHOOSE -
'CHOOSE LIFE,' HE SAID.
00:23:01.31\00:23:03.78
THE DEVIL CAME INTO THE WORLD
AND HE BROUGHT DEATH AND SIN AND
00:23:03.81\00:23:06.75
SUFFERING. GOD HAS NO
PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF ANYONE.
00:23:06.78\00:23:10.55
YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER HEARING A
STORY YEARS AGO, ABOUT A FATHER
00:23:10.59\00:23:14.52
THAT WAS SAILING THROUGH SOME
WARM CARIBBEAN WATER - JUST A
00:23:14.56\00:23:17.93
FATHER AND TWO
BOYS ON AN EXCURSION.
00:23:17.96\00:23:20.80
HE WAS A GOOD SAILOR AND HE TOOK
HIS BOYS ALONG - TEENAGE BOYS -
00:23:20.83\00:23:23.73
AND, AT ONE POINT, THEY WERE
GOING THROUGH SOME ISLANDS - MY
00:23:23.77\00:23:26.00
DAD - I USED TO LIVE IN MIAMI -
HE'D TAKE US ON THE BOAT THROUGH
00:23:26.03\00:23:28.24
THE ISLANDS DOWN
THERE IN THE CARIBBEAN.
00:23:28.27\00:23:30.71
AND THE FATHER TOLD THE BOYS -
THEY'RE ON A SAILBOAT - HE SAID,
00:23:30.74\00:23:33.64
'NOW, WE'RE GOING BY A SECTION
OF WATERS - THERE'S A CHICKEN
00:23:33.68\00:23:37.51
SLAUGHTERHOUSE ON THAT ISLAND
OVER THERE AND THERE'S A LOT OF
00:23:37.55\00:23:39.45
SHARKS AND THEY'RE VERY VICIOUS
BECAUSE THEY'VE GOTTEN THE TASTE
00:23:39.48\00:23:42.88
OF BLOOD. DON'T
FALL IN THE WATER HERE.
00:23:42.92\00:23:45.79
THERE'S PLACES YOU CAN SNORKEL
AND DIVE AND IT'S GREAT, BUT
00:23:45.82\00:23:47.96
DON'T GO IN THE WATER HERE.'
THE BOYS, THEY HADN'T SEEN ANY
00:23:47.99\00:23:52.39
SHARKS AND THEY WERE RUNNING
AROUND PLAYING ON THE DECK OF
00:23:52.43\00:23:54.30
THE SHIP AND ONE OF THEM -
WRESTLING WITH HIS BROTHER - HE
00:23:54.36\00:23:57.63
GRABBED HIS T-SHIRT AND HE
STARTED TO TUMBLE OVER AND HE
00:23:57.67\00:23:59.83
PULLED HIS BROTHER WITH HIM.
00:23:59.87\00:24:01.24
THEY BOTH WENT SPLASH OFF
INTO THE WARM CARIBBEAN WATERS.
00:24:01.27\00:24:04.97
WELL, THE FATHER HEARD THE
SPLASH AND HE WENT RUNNING UP ON
00:24:05.01\00:24:07.24
DECK AND, OF COURSE, THE BOAT IS
MOVING ALONG, IT'S JUST SAILING
00:24:07.28\00:24:10.38
SLOWLY, AND HE DROPPED THE SAIL
AND HE DID WHAT HE COULD TO STOP
00:24:10.41\00:24:13.82
THE BOAT AND HE LOOKED OFF AND
HE SAW HIS BOYS - IT WAS A CALM
00:24:13.85\00:24:16.08
DAY - HE SAW HIS BOYS OFF THERE
PUSHING AND SPLASHING AND RIGHT
00:24:16.12\00:24:20.96
AT THAT POINT, THE FATHER, FOR
JUST A MOMENT HE SAW A DORSAL
00:24:20.99\00:24:23.53
FIN POP OVER THE SURFACE.
FROM HIS VANTAGE IN THE BOAT HE
00:24:23.56\00:24:27.86
COULD SEE IT, BUT
THEY COULDN'T SEE IT.
00:24:27.86\00:24:29.73
AND HE SAID,
'BOYS, THERE'S SHARKS!
00:24:29.76\00:24:31.50
GET QUICKLY AND CALMLY BACK
TO THE BOAT.' THE BOYS LOOKED AT
00:24:31.53\00:24:35.64
EACH OTHER AND THEY SAID, 'OH
MAN, DAD IS TRYING TO SCARE US.
00:24:35.67\00:24:39.34
WE'VE BEEN SAILING FOR DAYS,
WE HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE SHARK.
00:24:39.37\00:24:42.24
HE'S JUST' - THEY
DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.
00:24:42.28\00:24:44.51
AND THEN THEY SAID,
'OKAY, HELP, SHARK! SHARK!'
00:24:44.55\00:24:47.38
AND THEY STARTED TO PRETEND
AND THEY'RE SWIMMING VERY SLOWLY
00:24:47.42\00:24:49.85
BACK TO THE BOAT. YOU
KNOW, THEY'RE LIKE 5O YARDS
00:24:49.88\00:24:51.79
AWAY AND THE FATHER SAW
THE SHARKS BEGINNING TO GATHER.
00:24:51.82\00:24:56.06
HE COULD SEE UP IN THE BOAT -
THE SHARKS WERE UNDERNEATH THE
00:24:56.09\00:24:58.89
SURFACE AND THEY WERE
TIGHTENING THEIR CIRCLE.
00:24:58.93\00:25:02.13
AND, YOU KNOW THE WAY A SHARK
WORKS, IT'LL CONTINUE TO CLOSE
00:25:02.16\00:25:04.10
THE CIRCLE AND IT GETS CLOSER
- AND ONE OF THEM, IT EVENTUALLY
00:25:04.13\00:25:06.17
HAS THE COURAGE
TO COME IN AND BITE.
00:25:06.20\00:25:08.04
AND ONCE THEY TASTE BLOOD, THEY
THEN GO INTO A FRENZY AND THEY
00:25:08.07\00:25:12.94
CAN SMELL ONE DROP OF BLOOD IN
LIKE 38,000 OR MILLION GALLONS
00:25:12.97\00:25:16.64
OF WATER - IT'S PHENOMENAL.
BUT HE SAW THEM CLOSING THEIR
00:25:16.68\00:25:21.42
CIRCLE AND HE REALIZED THAT
THERE WAS JUST A WHOLE HERD OF
00:25:21.45\00:25:24.25
SHARKS OUT THERE THAT
WERE GOING TO COME IN.
00:25:24.29\00:25:26.79
HE WAS GOING TO LOSE HIS BOYS.
00:25:26.82\00:25:28.12
AND, IN A DESPERATE, FINAL
MEASURE TO SAVE HIS BOYS, THE
00:25:28.16\00:25:31.56
FATHER RAN BELOW DECK, HE
WENT TO THE GALLEY, HE GRABBED A
00:25:31.59\00:25:34.00
KNIFE, HE RAN UP ON TOP OF THE
BOAT, HE CUT HIS WRISTS, HE DOVE
00:25:34.00\00:25:38.40
IN THE WATER AND HE SWAM
IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
00:25:38.43\00:25:43.04
ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE BOYS SAW,
AS THE WATER BEGAN TO CHURN AND
00:25:43.07\00:25:45.91
TURN RED OFF IN THIS OTHER
DIRECTION AND - NOW HERE'S THE
00:25:45.94\00:25:50.88
QUESTION: IF THOSE BOYS DECIDE
TO STAY IN THE WATER, IS THERE
00:25:50.91\00:25:54.85
ANYTHING MORE THEIR FATHER CAN
DO FOR THEM? AFTER GOD GAVE HIS
00:25:54.88\00:26:00.16
SON AND HE POURED OUT HIS BLOOD
TO SAVE US FROM THE DEVIL, IF WE
00:26:00.19\00:26:04.33
CHOOSE TO STAY IN THE WORLD AND
IN SIN, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT
00:26:04.36\00:26:07.76
HIM TO GIVE THAN
HIS LIFE - TO SAVE YOU?
