00:00:39.60\00:00:44.60
>> OUR STORY TONIGHT IS FOUND
IN THE FIRST BOOK OF SAMUEL,
00:00:54.66\00:00:58.10
IT'S ACTUALLY 2 SAMUEL DEALING
WITH A YOUNG MAN BY THE NAME
00:00:58.10\00:01:01.30
OF ABSALOM.
00:01:01.30\00:01:02.83
THE NAME ABSALOM MEANS
ABA SHALOM OR SON OF PEACE.
00:01:02.83\00:01:08.80
REMEMBER I TOLD YOU, SHALOM, OF
COURSE, MEANS PEACE IN HEBREW.
00:01:08.80\00:01:12.80
JERU SHALOM IS CITY OF PEACE.
00:01:12.80\00:01:13.83
ABSALOM HAD A REALLY GOOD NAME.
00:01:13.83\00:01:15.33
NOW, DAVID HAD MANY SONS,
ABSALOM WAS THE SECOND BORN.
00:01:15.33\00:01:19.23
BUT HE WAS VERY STRIKING, HAD
A HANDSOME FATHER IN KING DAVID
00:01:19.23\00:01:23.20
AND HIS MOTHER WAS A
PRINCESS, A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER.
00:01:23.20\00:01:26.60
AND THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT
FROM THE CROWN OF HIS HEAD TO
00:01:26.60\00:01:31.36
THE SOLE OF THE FOOT, THERE
WAS ABSOLUTELY NO BLEMISH IN
00:01:31.36\00:01:33.60
ABSALOM.
00:01:33.60\00:01:35.13
HE WAS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON.
00:01:35.13\00:01:38.20
HE'D GOT 50 CHARIOTS, NO,
I'M SORRY HE GOT 50 MEN TO RUN
00:01:38.20\00:01:41.60
BEFORE HIM AS HE HAD A CHARIOT
AND SO THAT HE COULD START
00:01:41.60\00:01:45.03
TO GET SOME PRESTIGE.
00:01:45.03\00:01:47.33
HE KILLED HIS OLDER BROTHER
AMNON WHO WAS IN LINE TO RULE,
00:01:47.33\00:01:51.16
SO HE WOULD BE NEXT IN LINE.
00:01:51.16\00:01:53.80
AND THEN IT TELLS US THAT HE
DID A LITTLE BIT OF POLITICAL
00:01:53.80\00:01:56.23
CAMPAIGNING.
00:01:56.23\00:01:58.16
AND HE WENT AND THE PEOPLE
WHO WERE COMING TO THE CITY OF
00:01:58.16\00:02:00.90
JERUSALEM TO HAVE JUDGMENT
FROM KING DAVID, ABSALOM WOULD
00:02:00.90\00:02:05.03
INTERCEPT THEM.
00:02:05.03\00:02:06.53
AND HE'D SAY, "YOU KNOW,
DAVID'S AWFUL BUSY NOW AND HE'S
00:02:06.53\00:02:09.36
DEPRESSED, HE'S HAD
SOME PROBLEMS IN THE KINGDOM.
00:02:09.36\00:02:11.33
BUT YOU KNOW, IF I WAS IN
CHARGE, I'D TAKE CARE OF YOU.
00:02:11.33\00:02:15.06
AND I WOULD GIVE YOU JUSTICE."
00:02:15.06\00:02:16.93
AND THEY'D BOW DOWN
BEFORE HIM TO WORSHIP HIM.
00:02:16.93\00:02:18.93
AND HE'D LIFT THEM
UP AND HE'D HUG THEM.
00:02:18.93\00:02:21.50
AND HE WAS SO
HANDSOME AND WINSOME.
00:02:21.50\00:02:26.23
BIBLE TELLS US HE STOLE THE
HEARTS OF THE MEN OF ISRAEL.
00:02:26.23\00:02:29.20
FINALLY, IT BROKE
INTO AN OPEN REVOLT.
00:02:29.20\00:02:32.00
HE, UNPROVOKED, REBELLED
AGAINST HIS OWN FATHER, TRYING
00:02:32.00\00:02:35.16
TO KILL GOOD KING
DAVID, HIS OWN FATHER AND TAKE
00:02:35.16\00:02:38.53
THE THRONE BY FORCE.
00:02:38.53\00:02:40.43
HE WANTED THE POWER.
00:02:40.43\00:02:41.73
HE WANTED TO BE KING.
00:02:41.73\00:02:44.46
WELL, DAVID'S LOYAL MEN, HIS
SOLDIERS THAT HAD FOUGHT WITH
00:02:44.46\00:02:46.10
HIM FOR MANY YEARS, THEY
STAYED WITH HIM AS DAVID FLED
00:02:46.10\00:02:49.06
FROM JERUSALEM.
00:02:49.06\00:02:50.00
EVENTUALLY, ABSALOM AND
DAVID'S SOLDIERS WERE ENGAGED IN
00:02:50.00\00:02:52.06
BATTLE AND DAVID'S MEN WERE
WELL SEASONED, EVEN THOUGH THEY
00:02:52.06\00:02:54.86
WERE GREATLY OUTNUMBERED.
00:02:54.86\00:02:56.36
PRETTY SOON ABSALOM'S FORCES
WERE OVERWHELMED AND FLEEING
00:02:56.36\00:02:59.20
FOR THEIR LIVES.
00:02:59.20\00:03:00.36
AND AS ABSALOM RODE
THROUGH A THICK FOREST ON HIS
00:03:00.36\00:03:03.90
ROYAL WHITE MULE.
00:03:03.90\00:03:06.83
IT SAYS, "HE MET THE SERVANTS
OF DAVID AND HE ROAD ON A MULE.
00:03:06.83\00:03:09.00
AND THE MULE WENT UNDER
THE THICK BOUGHS OF A GREAT
00:03:09.00\00:03:11.40
TEREBINTH TREE."
00:03:11.40\00:03:12.43
IT'S LIKE AN OAK.
00:03:12.43\00:03:13.60
"AND HIS HEAD CAUGHT IN
THE TEREBINTH; SO HE WAS LEFT
00:03:13.60\00:03:16.30
HANGING BETWEEN
HEAVEN AND EARTH."
00:03:16.30\00:03:18.80
AND AT THAT POINT THE MULE RAN
OUT AND THERE HE WAS HANGIN'.
00:03:18.80\00:03:22.20
AND HE HUNG THERE FOR A LITTLE
WHILE UNTIL PRETTY SOON DAVID'S
00:03:22.20\00:03:25.43
SOLDIERS FOUND HIM,
THEY PLUNGED THREE SPEARS
00:03:25.43\00:03:28.16
INTO HIS HEART.
00:03:28.16\00:03:29.56
THREE DARTS AND HE WAS EXECUTED.
00:03:29.56\00:03:32.10
THEY THEN TOOK ABSALOM AND THEY
PLACED HIM IN A GREAT PIT IN
00:03:32.10\00:03:34.83
THE GROUND, COVERED HIM WITH
STONES, THAT HE WOULD NOT HAVE
00:03:34.83\00:03:37.63
A MARKED GRAVE AND
NOBODY WOULD REMEMBER HIM.
00:03:37.63\00:03:40.76
BECAUSE EVERYONE WAS SO
DISGUSTED WITH WHAT HE HAD DONE
00:03:40.76\00:03:45.03
AGAINST DAVID WHO
HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG.
00:03:45.03\00:03:47.00
DAVID LOVED ABSALOM.
00:03:47.00\00:03:48.66
AND AS WE GO ON LATER WITH OUR
STORY, YOU'LL FIND OUT HOW IT
00:03:48.66\00:03:51.23
WOUNDED DAVID WHEN HE
FOUND OUT THAT HIS SON WAS DEAD.
00:03:51.23\00:03:55.43
WE NEED TO GO ON NOW WITH
QUESTION NUMBER ONE IN OUR
00:03:55.43\00:03:57.76
LESSON.
00:03:57.76\00:04:00.73
YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S
INTERESTING THAT THE MOST
00:04:00.73\00:04:04.36
COMMON CALL THAT THE POLICE
RECEIVE ARE CALLED DOMESTIC
00:04:04.36\00:04:09.83
CALLS; FIGHTS IN FAMILIES.
00:04:09.83\00:04:14.56
YOU KNOW, DURING THE GULF WAR,
I UNDERSTAND THAT MORE AMERICAN
00:04:14.56\00:04:18.26
SOLDIERS WERE KILLED BY
WHAT'S CALLED FRIENDLY FIRE THAN
00:04:18.26\00:04:21.33
BY THE IRAQI ENEMIES.
00:04:21.33\00:04:24.70
AND IT'S STILL TRUE TODAY THAT
FAMILY FEUDS AND FRIENDLY FIRE
00:04:24.70\00:04:29.26
AND DOMESTIC PROBLEMS
SEEM TO FILL THE HEADLINES.
00:04:29.26\00:04:33.86
IN THE BIBLE, YOU CAN READ
STORY AFTER STORY WHERE THE
00:04:33.86\00:04:36.53
PROBLEMS OF GOD'S PEOPLE
OFTEN CAME FROM WITHIN MORE THAN
00:04:36.53\00:04:40.73
WITHOUT.
00:04:40.73\00:04:42.16
JESUS WAS BETRAYED BY
JUDAS TO HIS OWN PEOPLE.
00:04:42.16\00:04:45.90
JOSEPH WAS SOLD BY HIS OWN
BROTHERS, AND EVEN DAVID RAN
00:04:45.90\00:04:48.43
FROM HIS OWN KING, SAUL.
00:04:48.43\00:04:50.86
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, YOU FIND
OUT ABOUT THESE FAMILY PROBLEMS
00:04:50.86\00:04:54.23
THAT SOMETIMES
BECAME VERY SERIOUS.
00:04:54.23\00:04:57.40
THERE WAS A FAMILY FEUD IN
HEAVEN AND THAT'S WHERE THE
00:04:57.40\00:04:59.03
WHOLE PROBLEM WITH SIN AND
SATAN AND THIS BATTLE, THIS
00:04:59.03\00:05:02.33
GREAT COSMIC CONFLICT BETWEEN
GOOD AND EVIL ORIGINATED.
00:05:02.33\00:05:05.83
QUESTION NUMBER ONE, WHAT
WAS THE NAME OF THE REBELLIOUS
00:05:05.83\00:05:09.26
PRINCE IN HEAVEN,
AND WHY DID HE REBEL?
00:05:09.26\00:05:13.23
ANSWER, ISAIAH 12--I'M SORRY,
ISAIAH 14:12, SAY THE ANSWERS
00:05:13.23\00:05:17.60
WITH ME.
00:05:17.60\00:05:19.06
"HOW ART THOU FALLEN
FROM HEAVEN, O LUCIFER,
00:05:19.06\00:05:23.20
SON OF THE MORNING!"
00:05:23.20\00:05:24.63
NOW, LUCIFER IS A
NAME WE TYPICALLY THINK OF
00:05:24.63\00:05:27.50
FOR THE DEVIL.
00:05:27.50\00:05:28.43
IT'S A GOOD NAME, IT'S A
NAME THAT HE HAD FROM GOD.
00:05:28.43\00:05:30.63
IT WAS HIS ORIGINAL
NAME BEFORE HE FELL.
00:05:30.63\00:05:34.50
THAT'S WHERE YOU GET THE WORDS
LIKE LUMINESCENCE, LUCITES,
00:05:34.50\00:05:36.83
IT MEANS LUMINATION.
00:05:36.83\00:05:39.73
BUT THAT WAS HIS NAME BACK THEN.
00:05:39.73\00:05:41.76
THEN YOU LOOK AT
ISAIAH 14:13-14, "FOR THOU
00:05:41.76\00:05:45.96
HAST SAID IN THINE HEART, I
WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH."
00:05:45.96\00:05:52.76
AND YOU GO ON AND READ
THAT PASSAGE, HE SAID, "I, I, I,
00:05:52.76\00:05:56.76
I, I," FIVE TIMES.
00:05:56.76\00:05:59.63
YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE
IN MENTAL ASYLUMS USE THE WORDS
00:05:59.63\00:06:03.96
I, ME, MY, MINE, AND MYSELF
TEN TIMES MORE THAN PEOPLE
00:06:03.96\00:06:09.53
WHO ARE SANE.
00:06:09.53\00:06:11.00
SELFISHNESS IS SYNONYMOUS
WITH SIN AND IT'S A FORM
00:06:11.00\00:06:15.00
OF INSANITY.
00:06:15.00\00:06:16.43
LUCIFER BECAME PREOCCUPIED
WITH HIS POSITION AND WHAT
00:06:16.43\00:06:19.36
HE WANTED TO DO.
00:06:19.36\00:06:20.60
NEXT PART OF THE ANSWER,
EZEKIEL 28:17, "THINE HEART WAS
00:06:20.60\00:06:23.93
LIFTED UP BECAUSE OF THY
BEAUTY, THOU HAST CORRUPTED
00:06:23.93\00:06:28.23
THY WISDOM BY
REASON OF THY BRIGHTNESS.
00:06:28.23\00:06:33.40
HE WAS A BRILLIANT CREATURE,
A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE LIKE
00:06:33.40\00:06:35.13
ABSALOM, NO BLEMISHES.
00:06:35.13\00:06:36.16
HE WAS THE HIGHEST OF
GOD'S ANGELS, THE LEADER
00:06:36.16\00:06:39.70
OF THE ANGELS, LEADER
OF THE HEAVENLY CHOIR."
00:06:39.70\00:06:42.66
GOD MADE HIM PERFECT.
00:06:42.66\00:06:43.90
NOW, YOU'RE THINKING "WAIT,
WAIT, DOUG, SOMETHING MUST HAVE
00:06:43.90\00:06:46.00
BEEN WRONG WITH THE WIRING."
00:06:46.00\00:06:47.56
WE'LL GET TO THAT IN JUST A
MINUTE, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
00:06:47.56\00:06:49.46
THAT LUCIFER WAS A
BEAUTIFUL AND A GOOD ANGEL.
00:06:49.46\00:06:52.86
AND IF YOU KNEW HIM BACK THEN
AS HE CAME FROM THE HANDS OF
00:06:52.86\00:06:56.10
THE CREATOR, YOU
WOULD HAVE LIKED HIM TOO.
00:06:56.10\00:06:58.90
A LOTTA PEOPLE LIKE HIM TODAY
THE WAY HE IS NOW, AND THAT'S
00:06:58.90\00:07:01.20
TOO BAD,
ESPECIALLY AROUND HALLOWEEN.
00:07:01.20\00:07:05.20
BUT HE WAS A
BEAUTIFUL CREATURE, HE BECAME
00:07:05.20\00:07:07.06
PREOCCUPIED WITH HIS OWN
CHARISMA, HIS OWN BEAUTY.
00:07:07.06\00:07:10.73
AND IT WENT TO HIS HEAD,
THE ADORATION THE OTHER ANGELS
00:07:10.73\00:07:13.13
GAVE HIM.
00:07:13.13\00:07:14.23
AND YOU KNOW, COMPLIMENTS ARE
NICE, BUT YOU CAN TAKE IT TOO
00:07:14.23\00:07:16.66
FAR WHERE IT'S NOT HEALTHY.
00:07:16.66\00:07:19.00
YOU KNOW, IN PROVERBS IT SAYS,
"DO NOT SET A NET BEFORE YOUR
00:07:19.00\00:07:22.70
NEIGHBOR'S FEET WITH FLATTERY.
00:07:22.70\00:07:25.33
YOU CAN MAKE A PERSON STUMBLE."
00:07:25.33\00:07:28.10
NOW, I HAVE A THEORY THAT
EVERYBODY CAN BE BEAUTIFUL.
00:07:28.10\00:07:29.86
I REALLY BELIEVE THAT,
I BELIEVE EVERYBODY CAN
00:07:29.86\00:07:31.66
BE BEAUTIFUL.
00:07:31.66\00:07:32.73
A LOT OF US ARE
INSECURE ABOUT OUR APPEARANCE.
00:07:32.73\00:07:36.56
I REFUSE TO GET A TOUPEE.
00:07:36.56\00:07:39.23
I'M NOT GONNA DO THAT, NO WAY.
00:07:39.23\00:07:41.43
I FEEL ABSOLUTELY
NORMAL LIKE THIS, THIS IS NOT
00:07:41.43\00:07:44.30
A BIRTH DEFECT.
00:07:44.30\00:07:50.10
BUT A LOTTA PEOPLE ARE
VERY INSECURE ABOUT THEIR
00:07:50.10\00:07:51.76
APPEARANCE.
00:07:51.76\00:07:52.73
AND I THINK PART OF THEIR--AND
I'M CRITICIZING THOSE OF YOU
00:07:52.73\00:07:54.70
WHO MIGHT RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE WITH MY POINT ON THAT.
00:07:54.70\00:07:58.76
BUT BECAUSE OF HOLLYWOOD
AND BECAUSE OF THE MOVIES
00:07:58.76\00:08:01.40
AND THE FILM
INDUSTRY AND THE MAGAZINES.
00:08:01.40\00:08:04.23
1 OUT OF 1,000 PEOPLE
IS STRIKINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
00:08:04.23\00:08:08.96
BUT THEY TAKE THOSE PEOPLE AND
THEY PHOTOGRAPH THEM AND THEY
00:08:08.96\00:08:10.70
MULTIPLY THE PICTURES AND
THEY PUT THEM ON THE CAMERA AND
00:08:10.70\00:08:12.70
THEY PUT THEM ON THE
SCREEN AND EVERYBODY SEES THEM.
00:08:12.70\00:08:15.23
AND WE START FEELING INSECURE
IF WE DON'T ALL LOOK LIKE
00:08:15.23\00:08:17.76
THESE PERFECT BARBIE DOLLS.
00:08:17.76\00:08:20.60
MOST OF US KIND OF LOOK OKIE
DOKIE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE OKAY.
00:08:20.60\00:08:23.73
BUT PEOPLE ARE
INSECURE ABOUT THEIR APPEARANCE.
00:08:23.73\00:08:27.26
WELL, I HEARD A PASTOR
SAY SOMETHING ONE TIME.
00:08:27.26\00:08:29.26
HE SAID, "THERE'S
FOUR KINDS OF PEOPLE."
00:08:29.26\00:08:31.16
SAYS, "YOU GOT SOME
PEOPLE WHO ARE BEAUTIFUL UGLY."
00:08:31.16\00:08:34.86
WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT WAS
THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO
00:08:34.86\00:08:37.13
MAYBE HAVE A HOMELY
AVERAGE APPEARANCE, BUT THEY'RE
00:08:37.13\00:08:41.20
BEAUTIFUL ON THE
INSIDE, THEY'VE GOT A WINNING
00:08:41.20\00:08:44.53
DISPOSITION AND A QUICK SMILE
AND PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO
00:08:44.53\00:08:46.20
THEM AND THEY'RE POSITIVE,
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
00:08:46.20\00:08:48.70
THEN YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE
WHO ARE UGLY BEAUTIFUL.
00:08:48.70\00:08:52.40
THEY, OF COURSE, ARE SOME
OF THE PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE A
00:08:52.40\00:08:54.43
REALLY NICE APPEARANCE ON
THE OUTSIDE, BUT THEY'RE SO
00:08:54.43\00:08:56.60
SELF-ABSORBED AND VAIN, THEY
KNOW IT AND THEY'RE PREOCCUPIED
00:08:56.60\00:09:00.46
WITH THEIR APPEARANCE.
00:09:00.46\00:09:03.23
YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT WANNA BE
SEEN WITH 'EM, BUT YOU WOULDN'T
00:09:03.23\00:09:05.26
WANNA BE MARRIED TO THEM,
BECAUSE THEY CAN BECOME VERY
00:09:05.26\00:09:08.30
DIFFICULT PEOPLE.
00:09:08.30\00:09:10.50
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
00:09:10.50\00:09:12.16
I KNEW THIS ONE GIRL ONE
TIME, VERY ATTRACTIVE GIRL.
00:09:12.16\00:09:14.86
AND EVERY TIME I SAW HER, SHE
WAS READING GLAMOUR MAGAZINE.
00:09:14.86\00:09:17.86
WHENEVER SHE WALK BY A STORE
WINDOW, SHE'S ALWAYS CHECKING
00:09:17.86\00:09:21.73
HERSELF IN THE WINDOW.
00:09:21.73\00:09:23.10
JUST, IT WAS A SICKNESS,
REALLY, IT WAS VERY SAD,
00:09:23.10\00:09:25.53
PREOCCUPIED.
00:09:25.53\00:09:26.53
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:09:26.53\00:09:27.53
THAT DOESN'T LAST, AS
WE ALL DISCOVER EVENTUALLY.
00:09:27.53\00:09:32.73
THEN YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE
WHO ARE THE BEST, THEY'RE THE
00:09:32.73\00:09:34.76
BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL.
00:09:34.76\00:09:36.90
VERY RARE, PEOPLE WHO
ARE BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE,
00:09:36.90\00:09:39.86
BEAUTIFUL ON THE INSIDE.
00:09:39.86\00:09:40.96
INCIDENTALLY, DID YOU KNOW
THAT SOLOMON SAYS IN PROVERBS
00:09:40.96\00:09:42.66
THAT, "A BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN WITHOUT DISCRETION,
00:09:42.66\00:09:46.30
OR A BEAUTIFUL HEART, IS LIKE A
JEWEL OF GOLD IN A PIG'S NOSE."
00:09:46.30\00:09:49.86
IN OTHER WORDS,
IT'S WASTED BEAUTY.
00:09:49.86\00:09:51.76
BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE BEAUTIFUL
ON THE OUTSIDE AND BEAUTIFUL ON
00:09:51.76\00:09:54.06
THE INSIDE.
00:09:54.06\00:09:55.23
AND YOU REALIZE OF COURSE,
THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR ANYBODY
00:09:55.23\00:09:57.93
TO BE IN THAT FOURTH CATEGORY
WHICH IS UGLY UGLY, ALL RIGHT,
00:09:57.93\00:10:01.36
OKAY.
00:10:01.36\00:10:03.30
ALL RIGHT, WHERE AM I?
00:10:03.30\00:10:04.30
NUMBER TWO, DID GOD MAKE A
DEVIL WHEN HE CREATED LUCIFER?
00:10:04.30\00:10:09.13
NO, GOD MADE A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.
00:10:09.13\00:10:11.40
THE ANSWER IS EZEKIEL 28:15,
"THOU WAST PERFECT IN THY--IN
00:10:11.40\00:10:18.20
THE DAY THAT THOU WAS CREATED
UNTIL INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN
00:10:18.20\00:10:22.40
THEE."
00:10:22.40\00:10:23.30
GOD MADE A PERFECT ANGEL.
00:10:23.30\00:10:25.10
NOW, I NEED TO STOP RIGHT
HERE AND CLEAR UP A VERY POPULAR
00:10:25.10\00:10:27.76
MISCONCEPTION.
00:10:27.76\00:10:28.83
AND THAT IS, THIS NOTION
THAT THE DEVIL, SATAN, IS THIS
00:10:28.83\00:10:33.90
GROTESQUE HIDEOUS BEAST.
00:10:33.90\00:10:36.03
NOW, IF I WERE TO TELL YOU
RIGHT NOW, ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY
00:10:36.03\00:10:38.23
CLOSE YOUR EYES,
YOU'VE GOT A MENTAL SCREEN.
00:10:38.23\00:10:40.20
I WANT YOU TO ENVISION
THE DEVIL FOR A SECOND.
00:10:40.20\00:10:42.46
DON'T DO IT TOO LONG.
00:10:42.46\00:10:43.70
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
00:10:43.70\00:10:45.00
MOST PEOPLE
SEE--WHAT COLOR IS HIS LEOTARD?
00:10:45.00\00:10:49.03
RED LEOTARD, SEE,
YOU ALL KNOW THAT.
00:10:49.03\00:10:52.36
RED LEOTARD AND
DOES HE HAVE A GOATEE?
00:10:52.36\00:10:54.30
YOU KNOW, I USED
TO HAVE A GOATEE.
00:10:54.30\00:10:56.33
I WAS DOING THESE MEETINGS AND
PEOPLE SAID, "YOU LOOK LIKE THE
00:10:56.33\00:10:58.33
DEVIL."
00:10:58.33\00:10:59.23
I SHAVED IN A BIG HURRY.
00:10:59.23\00:11:00.23
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I--THERE'S
NOTHING THAT SAYS THE DEVIL HAS
00:11:00.23\00:11:02.50
A GOATEE, IT WAS JUST A
BAD, STUMBLING BLOCK FOR SOME
00:11:02.50\00:11:06.03
PEOPLE.
00:11:06.03\00:11:07.16
AND HE'S GOT THE HORNS AND
HE'S GOT THE BAT WINGS AND THE
00:11:07.16\00:11:10.43
HOOVES AND THE--AND HE'S GOT
THE PITCH FORK SO HE CAN MAKE
00:11:10.43\00:11:12.53
SURE PEOPLE ARE EVENLY COOKED
IN HELL, OR PROD PEOPLE ALONG.
00:11:12.53\00:11:16.00
YOU KNOW, AND ALL THESE
IMAGES THAT WE'VE GOT ABOUT THE
00:11:16.00\00:11:18.73
DEVIL, HE WANTS YOU TO
THINK THAT'S HOW HE LOOKS.
00:11:18.73\00:11:21.20
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT
WE FIND IN THE BIBLE.
00:11:21.20\00:11:24.66
ONE THING I WANT YOU TO
KNOW IS, IT'S NOT A JOKE.
00:11:24.66\00:11:28.90
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE
WAS A BEAUTIFUL AND A GLORIOUS
00:11:28.90\00:11:31.03
ANGEL, VERY ATTRACTIVE.
00:11:31.03\00:11:33.06
HE WANTS PEOPLE TO
THINK THAT HE'S GROTESQUE.
00:11:33.06\00:11:35.70
BUT IN FACT, HE WAS THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL OF THE ANGELS AND HE
00:11:35.70\00:11:38.40
STILL ATTAINS A GREAT
PERCENTAGE OF THAT BEAUTY.
00:11:38.40\00:11:41.83
QUESTION NUMBER
THREE, WHAT FINALLY HAPPENED?
00:11:41.83\00:11:47.93
WELL, YOU CAN READ IT IN
YOUR BIBLES, REVELATION 12:7,
00:11:47.93\00:11:50.36
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE.
00:11:50.36\00:11:51.70
IT SAYS, "THERE WAS WAR
IN HEAVEN: MICHAEL AND HIS
00:11:51.70\00:11:57.70
ANGELS--" SOMEONE WRITE
DOWN A QUESTION AND SEND IT IN,
00:11:57.70\00:11:59.93
WHO IS MICHAEL?
00:11:59.93\00:12:01.36
"MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT
AGAINST THE DRAGON AND THE
00:12:01.36\00:12:05.96
DRAGON FOUGHT AND HIS ANGELS."
00:12:05.96\00:12:06.66
NOW, I THINK YOU KNOW WHO THE
DRAGON IS, IT TELLS YOU RIGHT
00:12:06.66\00:12:08.76
THERE IN REVELATION 12.
00:12:08.76\00:12:09.86
THAT OLD SERPENT CALLED
THE DEVIL AND SATAN, THAT'S WHO
00:12:09.86\00:12:12.30
THE DRAGON IS, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO GUESS.
00:12:12.30\00:12:14.33
THERE WAS SOME COSMIC CONFLICT,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WEAPONS
00:12:14.33\00:12:17.00
WERE.
00:12:17.00\00:12:17.90
BUT EVENTUALLY LUCIFER INCITED
AN ALL-OUT REBELLION AGAINST
00:12:17.90\00:12:21.73
GOD'S GOVERNMENT.
00:12:21.73\00:12:23.90
YOU SEE, THE WAY WE
PEACE IT TOGETHER FROM THE FEW
00:12:23.90\00:12:25.80
SCRIPTURES THAT YOU FIND IN
THE BIBLE, IS LUCIFER WANTED
00:12:25.80\00:12:29.20
GOD'S POSITION.
00:12:29.20\00:12:31.36
HE SOMEWHERE WITHIN HIMSELF,
BEGAN TO THINK, HOW COME I AM
00:12:31.36\00:12:36.13
NOT PART OF THE INNER CIRCLE
OF THE FATHER'S SON AND SPIRIT.
00:12:36.13\00:12:40.03
HOW COME I DON'T
HAVE THE CREATIVE POWERS.
00:12:40.03\00:12:43.50
I MEAN, I'M JUST UNDERNEATH
GOD, WHY CAN'T I MAKE THAT ONE
00:12:43.50\00:12:46.76
LITTLE STEP AND TRANSITION
FROM BEING A CREATED CREATURE
00:12:46.76\00:12:49.70
TO BEING DIVINE?
00:12:49.70\00:12:51.56
AND HE, THE MORE HE THOUGHT
ABOUT THIS, HE BEGAN TO COVET
00:12:51.56\00:12:53.86
THE POSITION THAT GOD HELD.
00:12:53.86\00:12:56.03
UNTIL HE BEGAN TO CIRCULATE
AMONG THE OTHER ANGELS AND
00:12:56.03\00:12:59.03
START TO PLANT SEEDS OF
DOUBT ABOUT GOD'S GOVERNMENT.
00:12:59.03\00:13:02.86
YOU KNOW, HAVE YOU NOTICED
THAT GOD MADE US WHERE HE'S
00:13:02.86\00:13:05.16
IN CHARGE AND WE NEVER
GET A CHANCE TO BE GOD.
00:13:05.16\00:13:07.83
HE SAYS, "I SET THE
RULES AND YOU JUST OBEY."
00:13:07.83\00:13:09.90
AND LITTLE BY LITTLE,
SUBTLY, HE DID WHAT ABSALOM DID.
00:13:09.90\00:13:13.10
HE CAMPAIGNED BEHIND THE SCENES
IN AN INSIDIOUS WAY UNTIL HE
00:13:13.10\00:13:17.43
BEGAN FERMENT AMONG
THE ANGELS DISTRUST OF GOD.
00:13:17.43\00:13:21.50
NOW, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING,
HOW CAN ANGELS FALL FOR THAT?
00:13:21.50\00:13:24.60
FOLLOW ME, FRIENDS, UP 'TILL
THIS POINT IN THE UNIVERSE,
00:13:24.60\00:13:27.00
THERE HAD NEVER EVER BEEN A LIE.
00:13:27.00\00:13:30.43
IF YOU'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD A
LIE, YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER SOME
00:13:30.43\00:13:34.06
OF THE IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME TO
NEW YORK CITY, SOME OF THE CON
00:13:34.06\00:13:39.76
ARTISTS WERE SELLING THEM THE
BROOKLYN BRIDGE, YOU ALL KNOW
00:13:39.76\00:13:41.43
THAT JOKE, IT REALLY
DID SUPPOSEDLY HAPPEN.
00:13:41.43\00:13:43.40
I'VE GOT A TITLE TO THE
BROOKLYN BRIDGE, I CAN'T TAKE
00:13:43.40\00:13:45.06
CARE OF IT ANYMORE.
00:13:45.06\00:13:45.96
HERE, YOU WANNA BUY IT, $50?
00:13:45.96\00:13:47.06
AND THESE PEOPLE GROWN UP
IN GODLY FAMILIES, VERY SINCERE
00:13:47.06\00:13:49.40
SAID, "OH, TELLIN' ME
HE'S GOT THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE."
00:13:49.40\00:13:51.43
THEY FELL FOR IT, BECAUSE
THEY WERE USED TO HONESTY.
00:13:51.43\00:13:55.10
THE ANGELS HAD NOT
BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO RESISTING
00:13:55.10\00:13:58.16
DECEPTION.
00:13:58.16\00:13:59.46
SO, MANY OF THEM BELIEVED IT,
UNTIL IT FINALLY BROKE INTO AN
00:13:59.46\00:14:02.63
ALL-OUT WAR IN HEAVEN AND
SATAN AND HIS FOLLOWERS WHO WERE
00:14:02.63\00:14:07.70
REJECTED WERE
EVICTED YOU MIGHT SAY.
00:14:07.70\00:14:10.93
NUMBER FOUR, WHAT POWERFUL
BEINGS WORK UNDER THE DEVIL'S
00:14:10.93\00:14:16.56
COMMAND?
00:14:16.56\00:14:17.30
ANSWER IS FOUND IN
REVELATION 12:4, "AND HIS TAIL
00:14:17.30\00:14:20.76
DREW THE THIRD PART OF THE STARS
OF HEAVEN, AND DID CAST THEM
00:14:20.76\00:14:27.10
TO THE EARTH."
00:14:27.10\00:14:28.50
REVELATION 12:9 TELLS US
THE SECOND PART OF THE ANSWER.
00:14:28.50\00:14:31.33
"HE WAS CAST OUT INTO THE
EARTH, AND HIS ANGELS WERE
00:14:31.33\00:14:36.40
CAST OUT WITH HIM."
00:14:36.40\00:14:38.03
NOW, WE HEAR ABOUT GHOSTS AND
WE HEAR ABOUT DEMONS, BUT YOU
00:14:38.03\00:14:44.26
KNOW WHAT THEY ACTUALLY ARE.
00:14:44.26\00:14:46.26
THEY ARE THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE DEVIL WHO FELL,
00:14:46.26\00:14:50.53
FALLEN ANGELS.
00:14:50.53\00:14:51.80
YOU'VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION
BEFORE, "THE DEVIL MADE ME DO
00:14:51.80\00:14:55.66
IT, I WAS TEMPTED AND
THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT."
00:14:55.66\00:14:58.50
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT?
00:14:58.50\00:15:00.46
QUITE FRANKLY THE DEVIL CANNOT
MAKE YOU SIN UNLESS YOU ARE
00:15:00.46\00:15:02.70
DEMON POSSESSED.
00:15:02.70\00:15:04.43
GOD GIVES US A FREE
CHOICE, WE MUST CHOOSE TO SIN.
00:15:04.43\00:15:07.96
AND MOST OF THE TIME WHEN WE
ARE TEMPTED, IT'S NOT THE DEVIL
00:15:07.96\00:15:11.60
TEMPTING US, IT'S ACTUALLY
SATAN'S REPRESENTATIVES,
00:15:11.60\00:15:13.96
DEMONS, FALLEN ANGELS.
00:15:13.96\00:15:15.50
GOD HAS GUARDIAN ANGELS, I
BELIEVE VERY MUCH IN ANGELS,
00:15:15.50\00:15:18.60
THEY'RE IN THIS ROOM
RIGHT NOW, GOD'S ANGELS.
00:15:18.60\00:15:21.23
I THINK THE DEVIL'S GOT ANGELS
PROBABLY TRYING TO DISTRACT
00:15:21.23\00:15:23.36
PEOPLE AND BEFORE EACH MEETING,
I PRAY THAT GOD'S ANGELS WILL
00:15:23.36\00:15:26.03
EVICT THE DEVIL'S ANGELS
SO THAT YOU'LL HEAR WHAT I'M
00:15:26.03\00:15:29.80
SAYING TO YOU.
00:15:29.80\00:15:30.43
AND THOSE OF YOU WATCHING
AT HOME, IT'S STILL TRUE.
00:15:30.43\00:15:32.36
THE DEVIL IS CONSTANTLY
BATTLING WITH HIS FORCES TO
00:15:32.36\00:15:35.06
WIN OVER GOD'S CHILDREN.
00:15:35.06\00:15:38.13
I'LL GET TO THE
REASON FOR THAT IN A MINUTE.
00:15:38.13\00:15:40.13
SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE THINKING,
"WELL, OBVIOUSLY, DOUG, SINCE
00:15:40.13\00:15:43.46
GOD IS PERFECT AND GOD
KNOWS ALL THINGS, GOD MUST'VE
00:15:43.46\00:15:48.70
DELIBERATELY WIRED LUCIFER
WRONG WHEN THE CHIP CAME OUT
00:15:48.70\00:15:52.20
OF HIS FACTORY OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
00:15:52.20\00:15:54.50
AND THERE WAS--" "GOD MADE
A MISTAKE, PEOPLE SAY THAT."
00:15:54.50\00:15:58.16
AND LUCIFER, GOD
KNEW IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN.
00:15:58.16\00:16:00.66
WHY DIDN'T HE JUST SAY, YOU
KNOW, QUALITY CONTROL, WE MADE
00:16:00.66\00:16:03.46
A MISTAKE, SEND HIM BACK.
00:16:03.46\00:16:06.93
WHY DID HE ALLOW HIM TO CARRY
OUT THOSE SELFISH THOUGHTS OF
00:16:06.93\00:16:09.23
REBELLION.
00:16:09.23\00:16:10.80
LET ME ESTABLISH SOMETHING
THAT IS CRITICAL TO YOUR
00:16:10.80\00:16:13.23
UNDERSTANDING THE GREAT
CONTROVERSY IN THE BIBLE
00:16:13.23\00:16:15.26
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL.
00:16:15.26\00:16:17.46
GOD IS LOVE.
00:16:17.46\00:16:19.76
HE WANTS US TO LOVE HIM.
00:16:19.76\00:16:22.36
LOVE MUST BE FREELY
GIVEN, IT CANNOT BE COMPELLED.
00:16:22.36\00:16:26.73
THAT MEANS, GOD CREATES ALL
OF HIS INTELLIGENT CREATURES
00:16:26.73\00:16:30.33
WITH THE GREATEST OF
GIFTS, IT'S CALLED, CHOICE.
00:16:30.33\00:16:33.96
YOU HAVE A FREE WILL.
00:16:33.96\00:16:36.50
NOW, IF YOU'RE
LIKE ME, YOU WANT LOVE.
00:16:36.50\00:16:39.36
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT LOVE?
00:16:39.36\00:16:41.03
THAT'S NORMAL.
00:16:41.03\00:16:42.03
IF YOU DIDN'T RAISE YOUR
HAND, I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
00:16:42.03\00:16:44.96
EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE LOVED.
00:16:44.96\00:16:46.60
I LIKE TO BE LOVED.
00:16:46.60\00:16:48.50
AND SO I'VE COME TO A SOLUTION,
I'M GONNA SEE IF I CAN PATENT
00:16:48.50\00:16:51.16
THIS AND SELL IT DOWN THERE
ON THE STREETS ON THE CORNER
00:16:51.16\00:16:53.76
OF 34TH STREET.
00:16:53.76\00:16:54.73
HOW WE CAN ALL HAVE
OUR SELF-ESTEEM ELEVATED.
00:16:54.73\00:17:02.33
>> GOOD EVENING, DOUG.
00:17:02.33\00:17:03.00
>> GOOD EVENING, TAPE PLAYER.
00:17:03.00\00:17:03.93
>> HOW ARE YOU
FEELING THIS FINE EVENING?
00:17:03.93\00:17:05.66
>> I'M FINE, HOW ABOUT YOU?
00:17:05.66\00:17:06.90
>> I'M FEELING RATHER
PEPPY, I HAVE NEW BATTERIES.
00:17:06.90\00:17:10.10
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
00:17:10.10\00:17:11.20
>> DOUG, I NEED TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:17:11.20\00:17:13.23
>> WE'RE ALL LISTENING.
00:17:13.23\00:17:14.56
>> I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:14.56\00:17:17.36
NO, PLEASE, LISTEN, I
LOVE THE WAY YOUR HEAD SHINES,
00:17:17.36\00:17:21.40
I MEAN, YOUR LIGHT SHINES.
00:17:21.40\00:17:22.63
YOU'RE SO KIND AND WONDERFUL
AND GENEROUS AND TALL AND DARK
00:17:22.63\00:17:27.66
AND HANDSOME.
00:17:27.66\00:17:28.86
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:28.86\00:17:30.00
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:30.00\00:17:31.23
DOUG, I LOVE YOU.
00:17:31.23\00:17:32.70
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:32.70\00:17:34.06
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:34.06\00:17:35.66
I LOVE YOU.
00:17:35.66\00:17:39.00
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:39.00\00:17:39.83
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:39.83\00:17:41.10
DOUG, I LOVE YOU.
00:17:41.10\00:17:42.43
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:42.43\00:17:43.73
BUT DOUG, I LOVE YOU.
00:17:43.73\00:17:44.73
NO, WAIT I LOVE YOU.
00:17:44.73\00:17:45.66
I LOVE YOU.
00:17:45.66\00:17:46.50
I LOVE YOU, DOUG.
00:17:46.50\00:17:47.86
>> I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW.
00:17:47.86\00:17:51.96
DO YOU THINK I
REALLY FEEL BETTER?
00:17:51.96\00:17:55.03
YOU KNOW WHY IT
DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO ME?
00:17:55.03\00:17:57.50
I'VE MADE THIS TAPE IN MY IMAGE.
00:17:57.50\00:17:59.60
IT'S JUST DOING WHAT I TOLD
IT TO DO, IT'S PREPROGRAMMED.
00:17:59.60\00:18:02.20
THAT'S NOT LOVE, IS IT?
00:18:02.20\00:18:04.20
NOW, SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING
IF GOD IS ALL-KNOWING, HOW COME
00:18:04.20\00:18:09.03
HE TOOK THE RISK OF MAKING A
CREATURE WITH THIS POSSIBILITY
00:18:09.03\00:18:12.66
THAT HE'D REBEL?
00:18:12.66\00:18:14.90
HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PARENTS?
00:18:14.90\00:18:15.80
HANDS UP.
00:18:15.80\00:18:16.86
HOW MANY OF YOU GOT A WRITTEN
GUARANTEE BEFORE YOU PROCREATED
00:18:16.86\00:18:21.83
THAT YOUR CHILDREN WOULD
COOPERATE AND NEVER DISOBEY
00:18:21.83\00:18:24.06
YOU?
00:18:24.06\00:18:25.26
ANY OF YOU GET
THAT WRITTEN STATEMENT?
00:18:25.26\00:18:27.36
HOW MANY OF YOU RECOGNIZE
YOU WERE TAKING A RISK THAT THEY
00:18:27.36\00:18:30.46
MAY NOT OBEY?
00:18:30.46\00:18:33.23
HOW MANY OF YOU HAD NO
IDEA AND YOU WERE SHOCKED LATER?
00:18:33.23\00:18:36.66
YOU THOUGHT, BECAUSE I
LOVE THEM SO MUCH, THEY'RE GONNA
00:18:36.66\00:18:38.76
JUST DO
EVERYTHING I TELL THEM TO DO.
00:18:38.76\00:18:40.73
RIGHT?
00:18:40.73\00:18:41.80
IGNORANCE IS BLISS.
00:18:41.80\00:18:44.06
YOU TAKE A RISK
WHEN YOU WANT THE LOVE.
00:18:44.06\00:18:46.83
YOU HAVE TO GIVE FREEDOM
AND SOMETIMES IT'S--LOVE IS VERY
00:18:46.83\00:18:50.80
PAINFUL.
00:18:50.80\00:18:51.60
SOME PEOPLE GET HURT IN LOVE
AND THEY'RE AFRAID TO EVER LOVE
00:18:51.60\00:18:53.80
AGAIN, BECAUSE YOU
TAKE A RISK OF GETTING HURT.
00:18:53.80\00:18:56.16
GOD TOOK THAT RISK WHEN HE
MADE OUR WORLD AND WHEN HE MADE
00:18:56.16\00:18:59.03
ALL CREATURES.
00:18:59.03\00:19:00.73
HE WANTED US TO LOVE HIM FREELY.
00:19:00.73\00:19:02.80
QUESTION NUMBER FIVE,
WHAT METHODS DOES SATAN USE
00:19:02.80\00:19:08.66
IN HIS OF DECEPTION?
00:19:08.66\00:19:10.63
NOW, WE'VE GOT SEVERAL ANSWERS
HERE AND I WANT YOU AT HOME TO
00:19:10.63\00:19:13.16
SAY THEM OUT LOUD ALSO.
00:19:13.16\00:19:14.46
HERE WE GO, REVELATION
12:9, SATAN, WHICH DECEIVETH
00:19:14.46\00:19:18.86
THE WHOLE WORLD.
00:19:18.86\00:19:20.16
NOW, ARE YOU AWARE THE DEVIL
HAS SOME ADVANTAGES OVER GOD?
00:19:20.16\00:19:24.16
YEAH.
00:19:24.16\00:19:26.26
IN THE BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND
EVIL, GOD CAN ONLY USE TRUTH.
00:19:26.26\00:19:29.80
THE DEVIL CAN USE ANY
COMBINATION OF TRUTH OR ERROR.
00:19:29.80\00:19:34.20
HE CAN MIX THEM
UP ANYWAY HE WANTS.
00:19:34.20\00:19:36.26
A MATTER OF FACT, THE REASON
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT
00:19:36.26\00:19:38.66
CHURCHES AND SO MUCH RELIGIOUS
CONFUSION IN THE WORLD IS
00:19:38.66\00:19:42.26
BECAUSE, I BELIEVE,
ALL CHURCHES HAVE DIFFERENT
00:19:42.26\00:19:45.46
PERCENTAGES OF TRUTH.
00:19:45.46\00:19:47.30
THAT'S WHAT
MAKES THEM ATTRACTIVE.
00:19:47.30\00:19:49.53
IF YOU'RE GOING FISHING,
YOU FIND OUT WHAT THE FISH LIKE
00:19:49.53\00:19:53.23
AND YOU TAKE THEIR FAVORITE
FILLET, THEIR FAVORITE FOOD
00:19:53.23\00:19:56.46
AND YOU PUT IT IN THE
WATER WITH A HOOK IN IT.
00:19:56.46\00:19:59.70
HOOK DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
VERY BIG, BUT YOU GIVE THEM
00:19:59.70\00:20:03.13
SOMETHING PERFECTLY
HEALTHY WITHOUT THE HOOK.
00:20:03.13\00:20:05.23
IF I WERE TO SAY, LOOK, I'VE
GOT A GLASS OF WATER HERE FOR
00:20:05.23\00:20:07.46
YOU, IT IS PURE WATER, STORE
BOUGHT, SEALED WATER, I'VE JUST
00:20:07.46\00:20:11.60
ADDED ONE LITTLE DROP, 1%
STRYCHNINE, HELP YOURSELF.
00:20:11.60\00:20:14.93
IT'S 99% GOOD, BUT
WHAT DOES THAT 1% POISON DO?
00:20:14.93\00:20:21.20
IT MAKES THE WHOLE THING LETHAL.
00:20:21.20\00:20:22.73
AND THE DEVIL KNOWS,
THAT PRINCIPLE AND THAT'S WHY
00:20:22.73\00:20:24.60
THERE'S SO MUCH RELIGIOUS
CONFUSION IN THE WORLD.
00:20:24.60\00:20:27.33
SO, HE DECEIVES.
00:20:27.33\00:20:29.13
AND THE BIBLE SAYS, "HE'S
DECEIVING THE WHOLE WORLD."
00:20:29.13\00:20:31.26
A LOT OF THE WORLD IS DECEIVED
ABOUT THE DEVIL, THEY'RE
00:20:31.26\00:20:33.73
DISTRACTED.
00:20:33.73\00:20:35.50
WE GOTTA KEEP GOING.
00:20:35.50\00:20:36.90
ANSWER B, MARK 1:13, "JESUS
WAS THERE IN THE WILDERNESS
00:20:36.90\00:20:42.30
40 DAYS, TEMPTED OF SATAN."
00:20:42.30\00:20:46.23
CHRIST WAS TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL.
00:20:46.23\00:20:48.16
INCIDENTALLY, IS IT
A SIN TO BE TEMPTED?
00:20:48.16\00:20:51.03
NO, JESUS WAS TEMPTED.
00:20:51.03\00:20:52.83
MATTER OF FACT, SOME OF
YOU THINK, I'M NEVER TEMPTED.
00:20:52.83\00:20:55.70
IF YOU TELL ME, YOU'RE NEVER
TEMPTED, YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE.
00:20:55.70\00:20:57.86
THAT MEANS YOU'RE
MAKING NO EFFORT TO RESIST.
00:20:57.86\00:21:00.86
YOU'RE JUST BOBBIN' ON
DOWNSTREAM ON YOUR WAY TO
00:21:00.86\00:21:03.10
DESTRUCTION, YOU SAY, "THIS
IS GREAT, I DON'T GET TEMPTED."
00:21:03.10\00:21:06.23
BUT IF YOU TRY TO RESIST
THE DEVIL AND YOU'RE SWIMMING UP
00:21:06.23\00:21:08.66
STREAM AGAINST THE
CURRENT, YOU'RE GONNA FEEL
00:21:08.66\00:21:11.10
THE BATTLE RAGING.
00:21:11.10\00:21:12.56
AS A MATTER OF FACT, ONE OF THE
FIRST THINGS THAT HAPPENS WHEN
00:21:12.56\00:21:14.56
A PERSON MAKES AN EFFORT
TO DO GOD'S WILL IS THEY FEEL
00:21:14.56\00:21:18.13
RESISTANCE.
00:21:18.13\00:21:18.73
IT'S BECAUSE THEY'VE JUST BEEN
FLOATIN' ON THEIR WAY DOWN TO
00:21:18.73\00:21:20.70
THE PRECIPICE OF ETERNITY, THIS
IS JUST GREAT, NO RESISTANCE.
00:21:20.70\00:21:24.56
ACTUALLY IT ISN'T GREAT,
I'VE BEEN ON THAT RIVER BEFORE.
00:21:24.56\00:21:28.26
ANSWER C, REVELATION
16:14, "FOR THEY ARE THE SPIRITS
00:21:28.26\00:21:31.76
OF DEVILS WORKING MIRACLES."
00:21:31.76\00:21:34.30
ONE OF THE WAYS THAT SATAN
DECEIVES, HE USES MIRACLES.
00:21:34.30\00:21:37.70
CAN YOU REMEMBER A
STORY IN THE BIBLE?
00:21:37.70\00:21:40.96
WHERE MOSES WENT BEFORE
THE PHARAOH AND PHARAOH SAID,
00:21:40.96\00:21:43.90
"PROVE THAT
YOU'VE COME FROM GOD."
00:21:43.90\00:21:46.30
HE TOOK HIS ROD, HE THREW IT
DOWN, IT TURNED INTO A SERPENT.
00:21:46.30\00:21:49.66
PHARAOH CLAPPED HIS HANDS AND
OUT CAME HIS MAGICIANS AND THEY
00:21:49.66\00:21:51.90
THROUGH DOWN THEIR STAFFS,
THEIR RODS AND THEY TURNED
00:21:51.90\00:21:55.40
INTO SERPENTS TOO.
00:21:55.40\00:21:56.10
CAN THE DEVIL DO MIRACLES,
WORKS, SIGNS, AND WONDERS?
00:21:56.10\00:21:59.10
ARE WE TO BELIEVE, BECAUSE
SOME RELIGION OR SOME MINISTRY
00:21:59.10\00:22:01.60
SAYS, "BUT WE HEAL, WE DO
MIRACLES, IT MUST BE FROM GOD."
00:22:01.60\00:22:04.90
CAN THE DEVIL
COUNTERFEIT MIRACLES?
00:22:04.90\00:22:07.53
YES.
00:22:07.53\00:22:08.56
SO, WE NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL
TO NOT MAKE THAT THE CRITERIA.
00:22:08.56\00:22:11.03
WHEN YOU READ ON IN REVELATION,
YOU'RE GONNA FIND IT SAYS,
00:22:11.03\00:22:14.33
"THAT THE DEVIL DOES GREAT
WONDERS, SO THAT HE MAKES FIRE
00:22:14.33\00:22:17.26
COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN ON
THE EARTH IN THE SITE OF MEN
00:22:17.26\00:22:19.86
TO DECEIVE THEM.
00:22:19.86\00:22:21.50
THE DIABOLICAL MIRACLES
WILL INCREASE AS TIME GOES ON.
00:22:21.50\00:22:25.20
SO, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO BY
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND NOT BY
00:22:25.20\00:22:27.80
WHAT YOUR SENSES TELL YOU.
00:22:27.80\00:22:29.36
FURTHER MORE WE READ ABOUT
THE DEVIL, REVELATION 10--12:10,
00:22:29.36\00:22:33.63
RATHER.
00:22:33.63\00:22:34.80
IT SAYS, "HE IS THE ACCUSER OF
OUR BRETHREN WHO IS CAST DOWN,
00:22:34.80\00:22:39.56
WHICH ACCUSED THEM
BEFORE OUR GOD DAY AND NIGHT."
00:22:39.56\00:22:44.46
IF YOU'VE READ THE STORY
OF JOB, THE DEVIL COMES BEFORE
00:22:44.46\00:22:47.83
THE LORD AND ACCUSES JOB.
00:22:47.83\00:22:50.76
SAID, "OH, THE ONLY REASON HE
OBEYS YOU IS YOU'RE PROTECTING
00:22:50.76\00:22:52.40
HIM.
00:22:52.40\00:22:53.26
TAKE AWAY YOUR PROTECTION."
00:22:53.26\00:22:54.20
YOU READ IN THE BOOK,
ZACHARIAH, HOW THE DEVIL
00:22:54.20\00:22:56.00
ACCUSES JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST.
00:22:56.00\00:22:57.16
YOU KNOW, THE DEVIL IS SO
ROTTEN, HE WILL TELL YOU TO DO
00:22:57.16\00:22:59.83
SOMETHING WRONG AND THEN HE
WILL TURN YOU IN FOR DOING IT.
00:22:59.83\00:23:04.40
I HAD SOME FRIENDS IN
SCHOOL, USED TO DO THAT.
00:23:04.40\00:23:07.10
THEY'D SAY, "I DARE YOU
TO GO KICK THE EMBLEM OFF
00:23:07.10\00:23:09.83
THE TEACHER'S CAR."
00:23:09.83\00:23:10.76
I'D SAY, "I'M NOT AFRAID."
00:23:10.76\00:23:11.63
AND I'D DO IT AND
SHE'D SAY, "WHO DID THIS?"
00:23:11.63\00:23:13.40
"DOUG DID IT."
00:23:13.40\00:23:14.33
THEY'D TELL ME TO DO
IT THEN THEY'D TURN ME IN.
00:23:14.33\00:23:16.63
DIABOLICAL.
00:23:16.63\00:23:18.50
FURTHERMORE WE LEARN,
ANSWER E, THAT HE MANIPULATES.
00:23:18.50\00:23:22.90
THE DEVIL WILL PROMISE PEOPLE
FAME AND FORTUNE IF THEY WILL
00:23:22.90\00:23:27.76
WORSHIP HIM, BUT THEY
CAN'T CONTROL THEMSELVES.
00:23:27.76\00:23:29.93
THEY END UP BECOMING ADDICTS
AND PAWNS AND PUPPETS OF THE
00:23:29.93\00:23:33.03
PRINCE OF DARKNESS.
00:23:33.03\00:23:34.66
NOW, I WANNA GET TO ANSWER E.
00:23:34.66\00:23:36.20
IT TELLS US THAT HE WAS A
MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING.
00:23:36.20\00:23:40.86
FOR HE IS A LIAR,
AND THE FATHER OF IT.
00:23:40.86\00:23:45.63
BACK IN THE BEGINNING WHEN
CANE KILLED HIS BROTHER ABEL,
00:23:45.63\00:23:47.50
WHO DO YOU THINK INSPIRED THAT?
00:23:47.50\00:23:50.00
YOU KNOW, UP UNTIL THE TIME
OF THE CROSS, I THINK THAT SATAN
00:23:50.00\00:23:54.06
STILL HAD THE SYMPATHY OF
SOME OF THE UNFALLEN ANGELS.
00:23:54.06\00:23:58.03
BUT AT THE CROSS, YOU COULD
SEE CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED SATAN'S
00:23:58.03\00:24:00.93
LOVE FOR POWER AND
CHRIST'S POWER OF LOVE.
00:24:00.93\00:24:05.20
AT THE CROSS, YOU'VE GOT
THE MOBS MOCKING AND SPITTING
00:24:05.20\00:24:08.23
AND CRUCIFYING AND TORTURING.
00:24:08.23\00:24:11.80
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT JESUS
SAYING, "FATHER, FORGIVE THEM."
00:24:11.80\00:24:14.93
WHAT A CONTRAST.
00:24:14.93\00:24:16.70
THE POWER OF LOVE AND THE LOVE
FOR POWER, AND THOSE WHO FORCES
00:24:16.70\00:24:21.76
ARE BATTLING IN THE WORLD TODAY.
00:24:21.76\00:24:23.40
GOD IS USING THE POWER OF
LOVE TO TRY AND REDEEM AND SAVE
00:24:23.40\00:24:25.60
PEOPLE.
00:24:25.60\00:24:26.50
AND THE DEVIL IS PREOCCUPYING
PEOPLE WITH THE LOVE OF POWER.
00:24:26.50\00:24:30.00
NUMBER SIX, WHEN IS THE
DEVIL THE MOST DANGEROUS?
00:24:30.00\00:24:33.66
2 CORINTHIANS 11:14-15, "AND
NO MARVEL, FOR SATAN HIMSELF IS
00:24:33.66\00:24:39.96
TRANSFORMED INTO
AN ANGEL OF LIGHT."
00:24:39.96\00:24:44.00
HE LOOKS SO GOOD.
00:24:44.00\00:24:45.76
YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE THING TO
BE FRIGHTENED OF THE DEVIL WHEN
00:24:45.76\00:24:48.46
HE'S LIKE A LION AND JUMP
WHEN HE'S LIKE A SNAKE, BUT HE'S
00:24:48.46\00:24:51.40
ESPECIALLY INSIDIOUS WHEN HE
APPEARS AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT.
00:24:51.40\00:24:56.20
YOU CAN READ IN MATTHEW
7:15, "BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS,
00:24:56.20\00:25:00.90
WHO COME TO YOU IN SHEEP'S
CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY THEY
00:25:00.90\00:25:03.46
ARE RAVENING WOLVES.
00:25:03.46\00:25:06.60
AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE
CASE THAT THE DEVIL PLANTS HIS
00:25:06.60\00:25:10.43
REPRESENTATIVES
IN AMONG THE GENUINE.
00:25:10.43\00:25:13.03
HE COUNTERFEITS THE FALSE
AND HE INCORPORATES IT INTO
00:25:13.03\00:25:19.03
THE TRUTH TO DECEIVE PEOPLE.
00:25:19.03\00:25:21.16
HE IS A WOLF IN
SHEEP'S CLOTHING.
00:25:21.16\00:25:23.40
AND I'LL TELL YOU, FRIENDS,
JESUS, WHEN HE STUDIED THE
00:25:23.40\00:25:25.56
SECOND COMING THE OTHER
NIGHT, CHRIST SAID, "BEWARE."
00:25:25.56\00:25:28.70
FIRST THING JESUS SAID
WHEN THE DISCIPLES ASKED
00:25:28.70\00:25:30.80
ABOUT THE LAST DAYS.
00:25:30.80\00:25:31.66
THE FIRST THING HE SAID,
MATTHEW 24, "TAKE HEED, MANY,
00:25:31.66\00:25:35.93
MANY WILL COME IN MY
NAME, SAYING 'I'M CHRIST'
00:25:35.93\00:25:37.86
AND DECEIVE MANY.
00:25:37.86\00:25:39.40
MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL ARISE."
00:25:39.40\00:25:42.20
IN OTHER WORDS, THERE
ARE JUST OODLES AND REAMS OF
00:25:42.20\00:25:46.66
COUNTERFEITS FLOATING AROUND
OUT THERE THAT ARE INTERESTED
00:25:46.66\00:25:49.70
IN USUALLY PROMOTING THEMSELVES.

00:27:02.53\00:27:04.23

THE TROUBLE THAT WE
