COMBINATION OF TRUTH OR ERROR.

00:00:39.53\00:00:42.30
>> DOES THE
DEVIL KNOW THE BIBLE?
00:00:53.26\00:00:55.70
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
00:00:55.70\00:00:56.80
I HATE TO ADMIT IT, HE
KNOWS IT BETTER THAN ME.
00:00:56.80\00:00:59.20
HE'S GOT A
PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY, PROBABLY.
00:00:59.20\00:01:01.06
HE KNOWS IT BETTER THAN YOU.
00:01:01.06\00:01:01.93
HE KNOWS IT IN
ALMOST EVERY LANGUAGE.
00:01:01.93\00:01:04.76
SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THE BIBLE
IS A GOOD-LUCK CHARM, A RELIC
00:01:04.76\00:01:08.53
THAT THEY CAN OWN AND
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID.
00:01:08.53\00:01:10.50
LET'S READ OUR
ANSWER MATTHEW 4:5-6,
00:01:10.50\00:01:13.06
"THEN THE DEVIL SAID UNTO JESUS,
IF THOU BE THE SON OF GOD--"
00:01:13.06\00:01:16.56
YOU KNOW GOD USES
FAITH, THE DEVIL SAYS, "IF."
00:01:16.56\00:01:18.73
SHE SAID, "IF YOU BELIEVE,
ALL THING ARE POSSIBLE."
00:01:18.73\00:01:21.90
THAT'S WHAT EXPOSED HIM.
00:01:21.90\00:01:23.13
SOME PEOPLE THINK WHEN THE DEVIL
CAME TO JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS,
00:01:23.13\00:01:25.06
HE PLOPPED DOWN ON THE GROUND
WITH HIS RED LEOTARDS AND HIS
00:01:25.06\00:01:27.63
BAT WINGS AND HE SAID, "HERE
I'M GONNA TEMPT YOU, YOU READY?"
00:01:27.63\00:01:30.60
WOULD YOU DO ANYTHING THAT
A HIDEOUS CREATURE LIKE THAT
00:01:30.60\00:01:33.43
TRIED TO TEMPT YOU TO DO?
00:01:33.43\00:01:35.13
NO, HE SAID, "YOU'RE
THE DEVIL, I KNOW YOU."
00:01:35.13\00:01:36.86
RIGHT?
00:01:36.86\00:01:38.16
BUT NO THE DEVIL LOOKED LIKE AN
ANGEL OF LIGHT BUT HE BETRAYED
00:01:38.16\00:01:40.53
WHO HE WAS BECAUSE HE
SAID, "IF YOU'RE THE SON OF GOD,
00:01:40.53\00:01:43.10
TURN THESE STONES INTO
BREAD" AND JESUS MET IT WITH
00:01:43.10\00:01:46.96
"IT IS WRITTEN."
00:01:46.96\00:01:48.80
BUT THE DEVIL ALSO SAID, "CAST
YOURSELF DOWN FOR IT IS WRITTEN,
00:01:48.80\00:01:53.56
HE'LL GIVE HIS ANGELS
CHARGE CONCERNING THEE."
00:01:53.56\00:01:55.83
HE QUOTED FROM THE PSALMS,
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID?
00:01:55.83\00:01:58.06
HE MISQUOTED.
00:01:58.06\00:01:59.93
HE ONLY QUOTED
PART OF THE SCRIPTURE.
00:01:59.93\00:02:02.33
AND HE'S VERY GOOD AT THAT,
TAKING SCRIPTURE AND TEARING
00:02:02.33\00:02:04.86
IT FROM ITS CONTEXT AND TWISTING
ITS MEANING TO CONFUSE PEOPLE,
00:02:04.86\00:02:09.63
GET FOLKS TO COMMIT MASS SUICIDE
AND SAY THEY'RE USING THE BIBLE
00:02:09.63\00:02:13.06
TO PROVE THEIR POINT.
00:02:13.06\00:02:15.06
I REMEMBER I WATCHED TOO MUCH TV
AS A KID AND I USED TO SEE THESE
00:02:15.06\00:02:18.90
VAMPIRE MOVIES.
00:02:18.90\00:02:20.86
AND WHERE YOU COULD TAKE A
CROSS AND HOLD UP A CROSS AND
00:02:20.86\00:02:26.30
THE VAMPIRES WOULD
RUN 'CAUSE THE CROSS,
00:02:26.30\00:02:28.56
THE IMAGE OF THE CROSS.
00:02:28.56\00:02:29.36
SOME PEOPLE THINK
THE BIBLE'S LIKE THAT.
00:02:29.36\00:02:30.83
ALL THEY GOTTA DO IS OWN ONE AND
HOLD IT OUT AGAINST THE DEVIL.
00:02:30.83\00:02:33.63
THE DEVIL'S GONNA RUN FROM YOU.
00:02:33.63\00:02:35.66
I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU,
HE'LL SNATCH IT OUT OF YOUR HAND
00:02:35.66\00:02:37.46
AND READ IT TO YOU.
00:02:37.46\00:02:39.63
SOME PEOPLE THINK THERE'S
VIRTUE IN OWNING A BIBLE.
00:02:39.63\00:02:42.20
YOU'D BE SURPRISED.
00:02:42.20\00:02:42.93
A LOT OF PEOPLE,
"WE HAVE A BIBLE."
00:02:42.93\00:02:44.90
DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAYS?
00:02:44.90\00:02:45.80
"GOD HELPS THOSE
THAT HELP THEMSELVES."
00:02:45.80\00:02:48.40
THAT'S NOT IN THE BIBLE.
00:02:48.40\00:02:49.96
YOU'D BE SURPRISED HOW
MUCH BIBLICAL IGNORANCE THERE IS
00:02:49.96\00:02:52.13
AND PEOPLE THINK THAT
IF YOU HAVE FIVE OF THEM,
00:02:52.13\00:02:54.10
THAT MEANS YOU'RE VERY HOLY.
00:02:54.10\00:02:55.83
"OR I SLEEP WITH
IT UNDER MY PILLOW."
00:02:55.83\00:02:58.93
LIKE YOU KNOW HANGING A CROSS
FROM THE MIRROR IN YOUR CAR
00:02:58.93\00:03:01.80
SO YOU COULD DRIVE DRUNK.
00:03:01.80\00:03:03.73
THEY THINK IT'S A GOOD-LUCK
CHARM OR SOMETHING, NO IT'S NOT.
00:03:03.73\00:03:06.46
GOD--OR THE DEVIL RATHER, HE'S
ONLY AFRAID WHEN THE BIBLE IS
00:03:06.46\00:03:11.30
NOT UNDER YOUR HEAD
BUT IT'S IN YOUR HEAD.
00:03:11.30\00:03:13.56
"THY WORD I HAVE HID IN
MY HEART," NOT ON MY SHELF,
00:03:13.56\00:03:16.50
"THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN."
00:03:16.50\00:03:17.73
AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT
NEEDS TO BE TO KEEP US SAFE.
00:03:17.73\00:03:20.03
QUESTION NUMBER EIGHT, "WHOM
ON EARTH DOES THE DEVIL HATE
00:03:20.03\00:03:24.30
THE MOST?"
00:03:24.30\00:03:26.13
SAY THE ANSWER WITH ME,
REVELATION 12:17, "AND THE
00:03:26.13\00:03:29.63
DRAGON--" NOW WHO'S THE DRAGON?
00:03:29.63\00:03:31.46
SATAN.
00:03:31.46\00:03:32.63
"THE DRAGON WAS WROTH," THAT
MEANS FURIOUS, "WITH THE WOMAN.
00:03:32.63\00:03:36.60
NOW WHAT DID WE
LEARN A WOMAN REPRESENTS?
00:03:36.60\00:03:38.86
NOW IS THIS A GOOD
WOMAN OR A BAD WOMAN?
00:03:38.86\00:03:40.80
>> GOOD.
00:03:40.80\00:03:41.50
>> YOU KNOW HOW WE
KNOW IT'S A GOOD WOMAN?
00:03:41.50\00:03:43.00
IF THE DEVIL'S MAD AT
HER, SHE'S THE RIGHT WOMAN.
00:03:43.00\00:03:45.26
SHE'S A GOOD WOMAN, RIGHT?
00:03:45.26\00:03:47.13
AND THE DRAGON WAS WROTH WITH
THE WOMAN AND HE GOES TO MAKE
00:03:47.13\00:03:50.00
WAR WITH THE REMNANT.
00:03:50.00\00:03:52.00
THAT MEANS THE
REMAINDER OF HER SEED.
00:03:52.00\00:03:54.70
INCIDENTALLY, YOU WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON?
00:03:54.70\00:03:58.43
A LOT OF CONFUSION IN THE WORLD.
00:03:58.43\00:03:59.96
PEOPLE THINK THE BATTLE OF
ARMAGEDDON IS CHINA AND RUSSIA
00:03:59.96\00:04:02.20
AND THE U.S. AND
ALL THESE THINGS.
00:04:02.20\00:04:03.80
THE BATTLE OF
ARMAGEDDON IS A RELIGIOUS WAR.
00:04:03.80\00:04:07.66
THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON
IS GONNA BE BETWEEN THOSE
00:04:07.66\00:04:09.86
WHO WORSHIP THE DRAGON AND
THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE LORD.
00:04:09.86\00:04:13.23
THIS IS THE WAR AND WE'LL
GET TO THIS ALSO IN REVELATION.
00:04:13.23\00:04:17.16
"AND HE GOES TO MAKE WAR WITH
THE REMNANT OR REMAINDER OF HER
00:04:17.16\00:04:19.70
SEED THAT THE COMMANDMENTS OF
GOD, AND HAVE THE TESTIMONY OF
00:04:19.70\00:04:23.26
JESUS."
00:04:23.26\00:04:24.03
SHE AND HER DESCENDANTS
HAVE THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS,
00:04:24.03\00:04:27.53
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS.
00:04:27.53\00:04:29.66
YOU LOOK IN REVELATION 19:10,
WRITE THAT DOWN, YOU'LL FIND OUT
00:04:29.66\00:04:34.03
THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS
IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
00:04:34.03\00:04:37.40
REMEMBER WE LEARNED THE LAW AND
THE PROPHETS IS ANOTHER PHRASE
00:04:37.40\00:04:40.26
FOR THE WORD OF
GOD IN THE BIBLE.
00:04:40.26\00:04:42.36
NUMBER NINE, I LIKE THIS
QUESTION, "WHAT TWO DEADLY
00:04:42.36\00:04:46.13
ANIMALS DOES THE
BIBLE USE TO PORTRAY SATAN?"
00:04:46.13\00:04:50.16
1 PETER 5:8, "BE SOBER, BE
VIGILANT; BE AWAKE, BE ALERT
00:04:50.16\00:04:54.76
BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY
THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION,
00:04:54.76\00:04:59.26
IS GOING AROUND
SEEKING WHOM HE MIGHT DEVOUR."
00:04:59.26\00:05:03.86
NOW WHY IS A LION SIGNIFICANT?
00:05:03.86\00:05:06.16
LIONS USE DIVERSIONARY
TACTICS TO GET THEIR PREY.
00:05:06.16\00:05:10.76
YOU KNOW THE MALE LION VERY
SELDOM BRINGS HOME THE BACON,
00:05:10.76\00:05:14.46
PARDON THE PUN.
00:05:14.46\00:05:15.33
USUALLY IT'S THE
FEMALES THAT DO THE SHOPPING.
00:05:15.33\00:05:18.13
THE MALE LION WILL SEE A LARGE
HERD OF ZEBRA OR GAZELLE OR
00:05:18.13\00:05:20.66
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND HE'LL
GO UP WHERE HE CAN SMELL 'EM IN
00:05:20.66\00:05:23.33
THE BREEZE AND HE'LL BE VISIBLE
AND HE'LL TAKE A CHEST FULL OF
00:05:23.33\00:05:26.63
AIR AND LET OUT
THIS BLOOD-CURDLING ROAR.
00:05:26.63\00:05:28.86
AND THEY ALL GO "AH"
AND THEY JUMP RIGHT OFF INTO
00:05:28.86\00:05:30.76
THE MOUTHS OF THE FEMALES.
00:05:30.76\00:05:33.00
HE'S GOT THEM LOOKING THAT
WAY AND THEY RUN INTO THE JAWS
00:05:33.00\00:05:36.23
OF DEATH.
00:05:36.23\00:05:37.63
DIVERSIONARY TACTICS,
THE DEVIL IS A MASTER AT IT.
00:05:37.63\00:05:41.30
HE'S ALSO LIKE
WHAT OTHER CREATURE?
00:05:41.30\00:05:44.10
AND THE DRAGON, IT SAYS,
WAS CAST OUT THAT OLD SERPENT,
00:05:44.10\00:05:50.36
CALLED THE DEVIL, AND SATAN.
00:05:50.36\00:05:52.63
WELL, YOU KNOW MANY TIMES IN
THE BIBLE YOU'LL FIND THAT SATAN
00:05:52.63\00:05:55.30
IS SYMBOLIZED BY A SERPENT.
00:05:55.30\00:05:57.33
YOU KNOW WHERE THAT COMES FROM?
00:05:57.33\00:05:58.36
BACK IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
00:05:58.36\00:05:59.93
INCIDENTALLY, HOW DID THE DEVIL
SET UP HIS HEADQUARTERS HERE
00:05:59.93\00:06:03.33
ON OUR PLANET?
00:06:03.33\00:06:05.23
YOU KNOW HE WENT THROUGHOUT THE
UNIVERSE TRYING TO FIND A HOME.
00:06:05.23\00:06:07.93
WHEN HE CAME TO THIS WORLD, GOD
SAID, "DO NOT EAT THE FORBIDDEN
00:06:07.93\00:06:11.43
FRUIT.
00:06:11.43\00:06:12.10
YOU'LL BE OKAY."
00:06:12.10\00:06:12.96
THE DEVIL SAID, "DON'T
LISTEN TO GOD; EAT THE FRUIT."
00:06:12.96\00:06:15.53
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID?
00:06:15.53\00:06:16.36
HE GAVE THEM THE SAME TEMPTATION
THAT APPEALED TO THEM.
00:06:16.36\00:06:19.10
HE SAID, "EAT IT
AND YOU'LL BE LIKE GOD"
00:06:19.10\00:06:21.83
WHICH IS WHAT HE WANTED.
00:06:21.83\00:06:23.20
AND INCIDENTALLY MANY
RELIGIONS IN THEIR THEOLOGY HAVE
00:06:23.20\00:06:26.70
THE SAME DECEPTION.
00:06:26.70\00:06:28.53
"YOU ARE GOD.
00:06:28.53\00:06:30.33
YOU CAN BE LIKE GOD."
00:06:30.33\00:06:32.26
WELL, THE BIBLE TELLS US
THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD
00:06:32.26\00:06:34.90
AND WE'RE TO WORSHIP HIM.
00:06:34.90\00:06:36.43
AND FOR US TO WANT TO BE GOD,
THAT'S WHERE ADAM AND EVE FELL
00:06:36.43\00:06:39.43
AND THAT'S
WHERE MANY FALL TODAY.
00:06:39.43\00:06:41.30
A LOT OF FALSE RELIGIONS ENTICE
PEOPLE BY SAYING, "YOU MAY
00:06:41.30\00:06:43.30
NOT KNOW IT, BUT YOU'RE GOD."
00:06:43.30\00:06:45.40
AND YOU THINK THAT EVEN
IF YOU'RE A LITTLE GOD, YOU'D
00:06:45.40\00:06:47.56
BE SMART ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE IT.
00:06:47.56\00:06:48.93
NOBODY WOULD HAVE TO COME UP
AND SAY, "YOU MAY NOT KNOW THIS,
00:06:48.93\00:06:51.23
BUT YOU'RE A GOD."
00:06:51.23\00:06:52.86
SOMEONE'S GOTTA TELL YOU YOU'RE
NOT A VERY OMNISCIENT GOD,
00:06:52.86\00:06:55.93
ARE YOU?
00:06:55.93\00:06:57.63
BUT HE SAID, "DISOBEY
GOD AND LISTEN TO ME."
00:06:57.63\00:07:01.70
AND ADAM AND EVE CHOSE TO LISTEN
TO THE DEVIL INSTEAD OF THE WORD
00:07:01.70\00:07:04.60
GOD.
00:07:04.60\00:07:05.50
YOU GET THAT?
00:07:05.50\00:07:06.03
THEY REJECTED THE WORD OF GOD.
00:07:06.03\00:07:08.23
THEY LISTENED TO THE
DEVIL AND HE SET UP HIS OFFICE
00:07:08.23\00:07:10.23
ON THIS PLANET.
00:07:10.23\00:07:12.00
AS A RESULT, THIS PLANET, PAUL
TELLS US IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
00:07:12.00\00:07:15.16
HAS BEEN A
THEATER TO THE UNIVERSE.
00:07:15.16\00:07:17.30
THIS PLANET HAS BECOME A
STAGE WHERE THIS GREAT COSMIC
00:07:17.30\00:07:20.46
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN GOOD
AND EVIL IS BEING ACTED OUT.
00:07:20.46\00:07:23.56
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS THE
CURTAIN'S ABOUT TO COME DOWN.
00:07:23.56\00:07:27.43
THE PLAY IS ALMOST OVER AND
YOU CAN BE ON THE WINNING TEAM
00:07:27.43\00:07:31.63
IF YOU WANT TO.
00:07:31.63\00:07:33.06
AND I HOPE YOU'LL
MAKE THAT DECISION.
00:07:33.06\00:07:34.73
NOT DONE YET.
00:07:34.73\00:07:37.53
YOU SEE SERPENTS, IN THE
BIBLE, SYMBOLIZE THE DEVIL.
00:07:37.53\00:07:41.96
YOU REMEMBER IN
GENESIS WHEN IT SAYS THAT,
00:07:41.96\00:07:44.23
WHAT HAVE I GOT UP HERE?
00:07:44.23\00:07:46.66
OH, THE WOMAN
WAS LIKE A SERPENT.
00:07:46.66\00:07:49.93
HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN IT
SAYS IN MARK 16, SPEAKING TO THE
00:07:49.93\00:07:52.73
DISCIPLES, ONE OF THE SIGNS
THAT WOULD FOLLOW HIM THAT SAYS,
00:07:52.73\00:07:55.60
"YOU'LL TAKE UP SERPENTS."
00:07:55.60\00:07:57.00
YOU REMEMBER
READING THAT IN THE BIBLE?
00:07:57.00\00:07:58.60
YOU KNOW THERE ARE SOME CHURCHES
THAT THINK THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED
00:07:58.60\00:08:00.13
TO GO ON SNAKE HUNTS AND FIND
SNAKES AND PICK 'EM UP AND PROVE
00:08:00.13\00:08:03.56
THEY'VE GOT THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:08:03.56\00:08:05.10
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
00:08:05.10\00:08:06.90
JESUS SAID, "YOU SHALL
NOT TEMPT THE LORD, YOUR GOD."
00:08:06.90\00:08:09.53
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU
PROVE YOU GOT THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:08:09.53\00:08:11.26
PAUL, WHEN HE WAS GATHERING
WOOD AFTER A SHIPWRECK TO HELP
00:08:11.26\00:08:15.06
WARM SOME PEOPLE BY
THE FIRE, A SNAKE BIT HIM.
00:08:15.06\00:08:17.50
HE TOOK UP THE SNAKE,
SHOOK IT OFF IN THE FIRE
00:08:17.50\00:08:19.50
AND HE WAS NOT HARMED.
00:08:19.50\00:08:20.63
THAT'S A SYMBOL OF IF WE'VE
GOT THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THE VENOM
00:08:20.63\00:08:24.46
OF THE DEVIL WILL NOT KILL US.
00:08:24.46\00:08:26.90
IT'S NOT SAYING YOU GOTTA GO
LOOK FOR SNAKES AND PROVE YOU
00:08:26.90\00:08:28.56
GOT THE SPIRIT
BY HANDLING SNAKES.
00:08:28.56\00:08:30.06
THAT'S VERY DANGEROUS.
00:08:30.06\00:08:31.46
I WOULDN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE
BEING PART OF THAT RELIGION,
00:08:31.46\00:08:33.90
I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW.
00:08:33.90\00:08:34.83
WHY DOES THE DEVIL
FOOL WITH YOU AND ME?
00:08:34.83\00:08:37.93
I MEAN HE'S SO BUSY IN
THIS WORLD, HE'S PREOCCUPIED.
00:08:37.93\00:08:42.93
I HEARD ABOUT THIS MAN ONE
TIME THAT WAS AN ATHEIST AND HE
00:08:42.93\00:08:46.33
WAS IRRITATED 'CAUSE HE
WORKED IN AN OFFICE ENVIRONMENT.
00:08:46.33\00:08:48.70
ACROSS FROM HIM WAS A
WORKSTATION WITH A CHRISTIAN
00:08:48.70\00:08:51.06
LADY WHO WAS ONE OF
THESE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, ALWAYS
00:08:51.06\00:08:53.53
BUBBLING AND POSITIVE
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED.
00:08:53.53\00:08:56.46
AND IT USED TO AGGRAVATE HIM
'CAUSE HE WAS THE MOST NEGATIVE
00:08:56.46\00:08:58.63
PERSON YOU COULD MEET.
00:08:58.63\00:09:00.13
AND WHENEVER HE CAME TO HE
OFFICE, SHE JUST HAD FLOWERS
00:09:00.13\00:09:02.16
ON HER DESK AND
"ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?
00:09:02.16\00:09:03.83
NICE DAY."
00:09:03.83\00:09:04.56
AND HE'D ALWAYS TRY AND GET HER
TO SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE AND
00:09:04.56\00:09:06.93
SHE ALWAYS CAME BACK WITH
SOMETHING POSITIVE, AND IT JUST
00:09:06.93\00:09:09.43
WAS SO ANNOYING TO HIM,
HE COULD BARELY STAND IT.
00:09:09.43\00:09:12.13
IT'D BE POURING RAIN.
00:09:12.13\00:09:12.83
"IT WAS RAINING CATS AND
DOGS, MUD ALL OVER THE STREETS.
00:09:12.83\00:09:15.06
GOT SPRAYED BY A TAXI TODAY."
00:09:15.06\00:09:16.90
SHE'D SAY, "OH, BUT THE
FLOWERS ARE GONNA BLOOM."
00:09:16.90\00:09:20.50
THEN HE REALIZED
SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN.
00:09:20.50\00:09:22.56
HE THOUGHT "I'VE GOT HER NOW."
00:09:22.56\00:09:23.36
HE CAME TO THE OFFICE ONE
DAY HE SAID, "WHAT DO YOU THINK
00:09:23.36\00:09:25.83
ABOUT THAT DEVIL?"
00:09:25.83\00:09:27.40
SHE SAID, "WELL, HE
CERTAINLY IS BUSY, ISN'T HE?"
00:09:27.40\00:09:30.40
ALWAYS HAD A
POSITIVE WAY OF ANSWERING.
00:09:30.40\00:09:35.36
WHY IS THE DEVIL SO BUSY?
00:09:35.36\00:09:37.03
WHY IS HE
PREOCCUPIED WITH HURTING HUMANS?
00:09:37.03\00:09:40.83
YOU AND I, IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH,
WE'RE NO THREAT FOR THE DEVIL.
00:09:40.83\00:09:43.66
LET ME TELL YOU WHAT'S AT
STAKE HERE, SATAN HATES JESUS.
00:09:43.66\00:09:48.26
SATAN HATES GOD.
00:09:48.26\00:09:50.53
HE WANTS TO EXACT AS
MUCH SUFFERING FROM GOD
00:09:50.53\00:09:53.26
AS HE POSSIBLY CAN.
00:09:53.26\00:09:54.33
IF YOU DOUBT THAT, YOU
READ IN YOUR BIBLE THE SCENE
00:09:54.33\00:09:56.43
SURROUNDING THE CROSS.
00:09:56.43\00:09:58.56
AND THE DEVIL DOESN'T UNDERSTAND
IT, BUT HE KNOWS HOW MUCH
00:09:58.56\00:10:02.03
THE LORD LOVES YOU AND HE
KNOWS THE BEST WAY TO HURT GOD
00:10:02.03\00:10:05.53
IS BY HURTING YOU.
00:10:05.53\00:10:07.30
IF YOU'RE A PARENT, YOU
KNOW WHAT IT IS TO WATCH
00:10:07.30\00:10:09.86
YOUR CHILDREN SUFFER.
00:10:09.86\00:10:12.26
WHAT WOULD HURT YOU MORE,
IF SOMEBODY HELD YOU DOWN AND
00:10:12.26\00:10:14.40
TORTURED YOU, FLAYED OFF YOUR
SKIN OR PUT BAMBOO CHUTES UNDER
00:10:14.40\00:10:19.40
YOUR FINGERNAILS, TOOK
AWAY THE REMOTE CONTROL?
00:10:19.40\00:10:23.00
IF YOU DID SOMETHING TO TORTURE
YOU OR TO HAVE YOUR CHILD
00:10:23.00\00:10:26.50
TORTURED IN FRONT OF
YOU, WHAT WOULD HURT MORE?
00:10:26.50\00:10:31.13
I'VE WATCHED MY CHILDREN SUFFER
BEFORE AND I'VE THOUGHT, OH, IF
00:10:31.13\00:10:33.90
I COULD CHANGE PLACES WITH THEM.
00:10:33.90\00:10:36.26
AND THE DEVIL WANTS TO HURT
GOD BY HURTING US, THAT'S WHY
00:10:36.26\00:10:39.66
HE FOOLS WITH YOU AND ME.
00:10:39.66\00:10:41.23
NUMBER TEN, "WHAT'S THE
ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN EFFECTIVELY
00:10:41.23\00:10:44.70
RESIST SATAN?"
00:10:44.70\00:10:47.10
ANSWER JAMES 4 IT SAYS, "SUBMIT
YOURSELF THEREFORE TO GOD.
00:10:47.10\00:10:53.16
RESIST THE DEVIL AND
HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.
00:10:53.16\00:10:55.56
DRAW NIGH TO GOD AND
HE WILL DRAW NIGH TO YOU."
00:10:55.56\00:10:59.20
WHEN YOU SUBMIT TO GOD AND YOU
GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM, YOU'RE
00:10:59.20\00:11:02.26
INVITING THE LIGHT OF GOD
IN YOUR HEART AND DARKNESS
00:11:02.26\00:11:05.86
CANNOT COEXIST WITH LIGHT.
00:11:05.86\00:11:08.03
WHEN YOU INVITE THE LIGHT OF
THE SON OF GOD INTO YOUR HEART,
00:11:08.03\00:11:11.23
IT EXPELS THE DARKNESS.
00:11:11.23\00:11:13.33
THEN HE GIVES YOU
SUPERNATURAL STRENGTH TO RESIST.
00:11:13.33\00:11:16.73
NOW I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU.
00:11:16.73\00:11:17.70
I WON'T TELL YOU EVERYTHING NOW
BUT FRIENDS, I TOLD YOU I GREW
00:11:17.70\00:11:20.60
UP AN ATHEIST.
00:11:20.60\00:11:21.96
I WAS ON DRUGS, I DRANK.
00:11:21.96\00:11:24.33
I LEARNED HOW TO DO IT IN
THIS CITY WITH MY PARENTS.
00:11:24.33\00:11:27.63
LEARNED HOW TO USE DRUGS WITH
MY MOM AND DRINK WITH MY FATHER.
00:11:27.63\00:11:31.06
AND BY THE TIME I WAS A
TEENAGER, I WAS PRETTY HEAVY
00:11:31.06\00:11:34.46
INTO IT AND IT WAS THE GRACE OF
GOD, THE POWER OF GOD IN ME THAT
00:11:34.46\00:11:38.33
GAVE THE ME STRENGTH
TO RESIST THOSE THINGS.
00:11:38.33\00:11:41.56
HE CAN GIVE YOU VICTORY WHERE
YOU CAN HAVE REAL PEACE AND
00:11:41.56\00:11:44.13
HAPPINESS AND THE
WONDERFUL THING IS FREEDOM.
00:11:44.13\00:11:46.80
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A
SLAVE OF THE DEVIL ANYMORE.
00:11:46.80\00:11:49.96
AND SO MANY PEOPLE
ARE CAPTIVE TO THE DEVIL.
00:11:49.96\00:11:52.26
HE CAN SET YOU FREE, BUT YOU'VE
GOTTA SUBMIT TO HIM IF YOU'RE
00:11:52.26\00:11:55.66
GONNA HAVE THE
STRENGTH TO DO THAT.
00:11:55.66\00:11:57.53
NUMBER 11, "HOW DID JESUS FIGHT
THE ASSAULTS OF THE DEVIL?"
00:11:57.53\00:12:01.60
ANSWER, MATTHEW 4:10, "THEN
SAITH JESUS UNTO HIM, GET THEE
00:12:01.60\00:12:07.60
HENCE, SATAN: IT IS WRITTEN."
00:12:07.60\00:12:11.90
BY THE WORD OF GOD.
00:12:11.90\00:12:13.26
NOW I AM DOING MY BEST TO
EMPHASIZE FOR YOU THAT THE POWER
00:12:13.26\00:12:22.63
TO RESIST THE
DEVIL IS IN THE WORD.
00:12:22.63\00:12:25.03
SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE
THINKING, "I DON'T GET IT, DOUG.
00:12:25.03\00:12:27.00
I MEAN IT'S BLACK
INK ON WHITE PAPER.
00:12:27.00\00:12:28.70
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT I'M
SUPPOSED TO THROW MY BIBLE
00:12:28.70\00:12:30.20
AT THE DEVIL?
00:12:30.20\00:12:30.86
I DON'T UNDERSTAND."
00:12:30.86\00:12:32.26
THERE IS POWER, INHERENT
POWER IN THE UTTERANCE OF GOD.
00:12:32.26\00:12:37.53
KEEP IN MIND, THE BIBLE SAYS
THE UTTERANCE OF GOD BROUGHT
00:12:37.53\00:12:40.30
THE WORLD INTO EXISTENCE.
00:12:40.30\00:12:41.60
GOD SAID, "LET THERE
BE," GOD SAID AND EVERYTHING
00:12:41.60\00:12:44.40
CAME INTO EXISTENCE.
00:12:44.40\00:12:45.66
YOU AND I CAN'T FATHOM THAT,
SOME OF YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE IT
00:12:45.66\00:12:48.00
BUT STAY WITH ME AND YOU'RE
GONNA FIND OUT IN YOUR OWN SOUL
00:12:48.00\00:12:50.53
IT'S TRUE.
00:12:50.53\00:12:51.23
I USED TO BE AN ATHEIST AND
AN EVOLUTIONIST AND I GOT A HOLD
00:12:51.23\00:12:54.23
OF THE BIBLE.
00:12:54.23\00:12:54.90
I DIDN'T EVEN
INTEND TO BELIEVE IT.
00:12:54.90\00:12:57.16
I WAS READING IT SO I
COULD ARGUE WITH CHRISTIANS.
00:12:57.16\00:12:59.70
REMEMBER I'M JEWISH AND
THEY WERE SO IRRITATING.
00:12:59.70\00:13:02.03
I WANTED TO PROVE THEM WRONG
THAT THERE'S POWER, INHERENT
00:13:02.03\00:13:04.76
POWER IN THE WORD.
00:13:04.76\00:13:05.83
AND AS YOU READ IT, IT
WILL FORTIFY YOU AGAINST
00:13:05.83\00:13:09.13
THE TEMPTATIONS.
00:13:09.13\00:13:10.53
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT IT SAYS,
"THY WORD I'VE HID IN MY HEART
00:13:10.53\00:13:13.36
THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN."
00:13:13.36\00:13:14.83
IN THE SAME WAY IT WORKS
FOR JESUS WITH THE DEVIL,
00:13:14.83\00:13:17.76
IT WILL WORK FOR YOU.
00:13:17.76\00:13:18.96
SECOND PART OF THAT
ANSWER, EPHESIANS 6:17,
00:13:18.96\00:13:21.53
"THE SWORD OF THE
SPIRIT WHICH IS THE WORD GOD."
00:13:21.53\00:13:25.56
THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:25.56\00:13:28.00
IN HEBREWS 4:12, "FOR THE WORD
OF GOD IS QUICK AND POWERFUL,
00:13:28.00\00:13:33.76
AND SHARPER THAN
ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD."
00:13:33.76\00:13:36.00
THOSE TWO EDGES ARE SYMBOLIZED
BY THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS,
00:13:36.00\00:13:39.23
THE TWO WITNESSES OF REVELATION,
THE NEW AND THE OLD TESTAMENTS,
00:13:39.23\00:13:42.16
HOWEVER YOU CHOOSE TO FRAME IT,
THERE IS POWER IN THE TWO-EDGED
00:13:42.16\00:13:45.06
SWORD, THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:45.06\00:13:47.73
HEARD ABOUT THIS ONE DEAR
CHRISTIAN LADY WAS VERY DEVOTED.
00:13:47.73\00:13:51.00
SHE WAS RIDING ON A SUBWAY HOME.
00:13:51.00\00:13:52.40
FINALLY JUST HER AND SOME
SOPHISTICATED GENTLEMAN WERE
00:13:52.40\00:13:55.23
SITTING IN THE CAR AND
SHE WAS READING HER BIBLE.
00:13:55.23\00:13:57.40
AND HE COULDN'T RESIST, HE SAID,
"MA'AM, PARDON ME, DO YOU REALLY
00:13:57.40\00:14:02.03
BELIEVE THE BIBLE?"
00:14:02.03\00:14:03.93
SHE LOOKED UP AND
SAID, "YES, SIR, I DO."
00:14:03.93\00:14:06.13
SHE CONTINUED READING.
00:14:06.13\00:14:07.10
HE SAID, "DO YOU BELIEVE
LIKE GOD CREATED THE WORLD IN
00:14:07.10\00:14:09.76
6 DAYS?"
00:14:09.76\00:14:10.83
AND SHE SAID, "YES, I DO."
00:14:10.83\00:14:12.93
AND HE SAID, "YOU MEAN YOU
BELIEVE THAT NOAH PRAYED AND THE
00:14:12.93\00:14:16.23
RED SEA PARTED AND THE CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL CROSSED OVER AND--"
00:14:16.23\00:14:19.33
"YES, YES, I DO."
00:14:19.33\00:14:21.66
"YOU BELIEVE--"
NO, MOSES PRAYED.
00:14:21.66\00:14:23.93
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:14:23.93\00:14:24.56
MOSES PRAYED, CHILDREN
OF ISRAEL CROSSED OVER.
00:14:24.56\00:14:27.63
NOAH AND THE ARK.
00:14:27.63\00:14:29.13
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:14:29.13\00:14:29.73
SHE SAID, "YES, I
BELIEVE IN NOAH AND THE ARK."
00:14:29.73\00:14:31.76
AND HE SAID, "DO YOU BELIEVE
THE STORY OF JONAH, THAT HE
00:14:31.76\00:14:35.33
COULD LIVE 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS
IN THE BELLY OF THE A WHALE?"
00:14:35.33\00:14:37.96
SHE SAID, "I
BELIEVE EVERY WORD."
00:14:37.96\00:14:39.50
HE SAID, "HOW COULD A
MAN LIVE 3 NIGHTS AND 3 DAYS
00:14:39.50\00:14:41.86
IN THE BELLY OF A WHALE?
00:14:41.86\00:14:43.63
WHAT WOULD HE BREATHE?"
00:14:43.63\00:14:44.76
SHE SAID, "WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
00:14:44.76\00:14:45.70
WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN,
I GUESS I'LL ASK HIM."
00:14:45.70\00:14:47.70
"WELL," HE SAID, "BUT
WHAT IF HE'S NOT IN HEAVEN?"
00:14:47.70\00:14:50.83
SHE SAID, "THEN YOU ASK HIM."
00:14:50.83\00:14:56.86
OKAY, SO YOU CAN TAKE
THE WORD OF GOD LITERALLY.
00:14:56.86\00:15:03.13
NUMBER 12, "HOW WILL THE
FINAL STATE--I'M SORRY, HOW WILL
00:15:03.13\00:15:08.06
THE FINAL FATE OF SATAN
RESEMBLE THAT OF ABSALOM?"
00:15:08.06\00:15:11.63
AND THIS IS VERY INTERESTING
IT TELLS US IN 2 SAMUEL 18:17,
00:15:11.63\00:15:15.70
"AND THEY TOOK ABSALOM, AND
THEY CAST HIM INTO A GREAT PIT."
00:15:15.70\00:15:20.63
DON'T MISS THAT.
00:15:20.63\00:15:21.70
THEN YOU GO TO ISAIAH 14:15 AND
IT SAYS, SPEAKING OF LUCIFER,
00:15:21.70\00:15:27.13
"THOU SHALT BE BROUGHT DOWN TO
HELL, TO THE SIDES OF THE PIT."
00:15:27.13\00:15:31.56
HE'S GOING TO THE
PITS JUST LIKE ABSALOM.
00:15:31.56\00:15:35.83
NUMBER 13, "WILL
SATAN EVER REAPPEAR
00:15:35.83\00:15:39.26
TO TEMPT GOD'S PEOPLE ANYMORE?"
00:15:39.26\00:15:41.73
EZEKIEL 28:19, "NEVER
SHALT THOU BE ANY MORE."
00:15:41.73\00:15:47.83
IS THAT GOOD NEWS, FRIENDS?
00:15:47.83\00:15:49.23
THAT THERE NEVER
WILL BE TEMPTATION.
00:15:49.23\00:15:51.23
I KNOW WHAT SOME
OF YOU ARE THINKING.
00:15:51.23\00:15:53.06
SOME OF YOU ARE THINKING, "OH,
WAIT A SECOND, DOUG, IF JESUS
00:15:53.06\00:15:54.83
TECHNICALLY DEFEATED THE
DEVIL BACK THERE AT THE CROSS,
00:15:54.83\00:15:58.90
THEN WHY IS IT THAT HE'S
STILL ACTIVELY RUNNING AROUND?"
00:15:58.90\00:16:03.26
YOU KNOW I REMEMBER GOING TO
GUAM A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO AND
00:16:03.26\00:16:07.06
THEY, BACK THEN WHEN I WAS
THERE, THE MAN WAS STILL ALIVE.
00:16:07.06\00:16:10.73
THEY HAD FOUND A JAPANESE
SOLDIER WHO DID NOT KNOW THAT
00:16:10.73\00:16:14.66
THE WAR WAS OVER, WHO HAD
BEEN HIDING OUT IN THE JUNGLES.
00:16:14.66\00:16:17.86
STARTED OUT HE HAD A PARTNER
BUT THE PARTNER DIED SEVERAL
00:16:17.86\00:16:20.16
YEARS EARLIER AND
I FORGET WHAT IT WAS.
00:16:20.16\00:16:22.06
IT WAS LIKE 35 YEARS
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
00:16:22.06\00:16:24.06
HE THOUGHT THE WAR WAS STILL
GOING AND HE WAS STILL GUNG HO
00:16:24.06\00:16:26.70
TO DEFEAT THE ALLIED POWERS
AND FINALLY THEY CAPTURED HIM
00:16:26.70\00:16:32.53
AND THEY SAID, "YOU WERE
DEFEATED A LONG TIME AGO."
00:16:32.53\00:16:35.10
BUT HE HAD NEVER GIVEN UP.
00:16:35.10\00:16:36.56
SOMEONE SAID IT'S SOMETHING LIKE
A BEE WHO CAN KEEP ON BUZZING
00:16:36.56\00:16:39.83
EVEN AFTER HE'S
LOST HIS STINGER.
00:16:39.83\00:16:42.63
JESUS TOOK THE VENOM OF
THE DEVIL ON THE CROSS, AND HE
00:16:42.63\00:16:46.83
IS STILL COME DOWN WITH GREAT
WRATH BUT IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD
00:16:46.83\00:16:50.30
AND YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM,
HE CAN GIVE YOU VICTORY OVER
00:16:50.30\00:16:53.26
THE CAPTIVITY THAT THE
DEVIL HAS SO MANY PEOPLE IN.
00:16:53.26\00:16:57.16
NOW WE GOT A SECOND
PART TO THIS ANSWER.
00:16:57.16\00:16:59.00
"WILL SATAN EVER REAPPEAR."
00:16:59.00\00:17:00.36
NAHUM 1:9 TELLS US "AFFLICTION
SHALL NOT RISE UP AGAIN
00:17:00.36\00:17:06.20
THE SECOND TIME."
00:17:06.20\00:17:07.86
IS THAT GOOD NEWS?
00:17:07.86\00:17:09.56
YOU KNOW A LITTLE WHILE AGO,
THE YOUNGEST OF OUR CHILDREN, OF
00:17:09.56\00:17:12.76
THE BATCHELOR LITTER BOTH GOT
CHICKENPOX AND IT'S MISERABLE.
00:17:12.76\00:17:17.90
AND THEY'RE SO CUTE AND
THEN THEY GET THE CHICKENPOX
00:17:17.90\00:17:20.43
AND THEY LOOK SO HORRIBLE.
00:17:20.43\00:17:22.06
AND THEY'RE MISERABLE.
00:17:22.06\00:17:24.83
THEY'RE SCRATCHIN'
AND THEY'RE SWEATIN'
00:17:24.83\00:17:26.30
AND THEY'RE UNCOMFORTABLE.
00:17:26.30\00:17:27.23
AND YOU KNOW YOUR HEARTS YEARN
OVER THEM BUT KAREN AND I SAID
00:17:27.23\00:17:30.43
WE'RE GLAD THEY'RE GETTING
IT NOW WHILE THEY'RE WRONG.
00:17:30.43\00:17:32.50
WHY?
00:17:32.50\00:17:33.63
'CAUSE ONCE YOU GET IT,
YOUR BODY BUILDS UP, YOUR BLOOD
00:17:33.63\00:17:37.00
BUILDS UP THESE IMMUNITIES WHERE
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GET IT
00:17:37.00\00:17:40.63
AGAIN AND IT'S VERY UNLIKELY
THAT YOU'LL GET IT AGAIN.
00:17:40.63\00:17:44.56
YOU KNOW I UNDERSTAND THAT
DURING THE DARK AGES THAT THE
00:17:44.56\00:17:49.23
BUBONIC PLAGUE, THE BLACK DEATH,
WAS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIBLE
00:17:49.23\00:17:51.96
THINGS THAT WENT THROUGH EUROPE.
00:17:51.96\00:17:53.46
ONE OUT OF THREE PEOPLE DIED.
00:17:53.46\00:17:54.80
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:17:54.80\00:17:56.03
ONE OUT OF THREE PEOPLE DIED.
00:17:56.03\00:17:57.90
THEY DID NOT KNOW IT THEN BUT
THEY KNOW NOW THAT A CURE FOR
00:17:57.90\00:18:02.40
THE BUBONIC PLAGUE IS TO GET A
BLOOD TRANSFUSION FROM SOMEBODY
00:18:02.40\00:18:06.63
WHO WAS EXPOSED TO THE PLAGUE
YET DID NOT SUCCUMB 'CAUSE
00:18:06.63\00:18:10.66
THEIR BLOOD THEN
DEVELOPED THE ANTIBODIES.
00:18:10.66\00:18:13.53
YOU KNOW THERE'S ONLY ONE
PERSON WHO'S LIVED IN THIS WORLD
00:18:13.53\00:18:15.53
WITHOUT SINNING AND IT'S
HIS BLOOD THAT IS THE ANTIBIOTIC
00:18:15.53\00:18:19.83
FOR SIN.
00:18:19.83\00:18:21.76
IT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN BE
WASHED FROM IT AND SAVED FROM IT
00:18:21.76\00:18:24.70
AND LIVE FOR ETERNITY.
00:18:24.70\00:18:26.26
SIN WILL NOT RISE UP
AGAIN THE SECOND TIME.
00:18:26.26\00:18:29.13
WE GOT CHICKENPOX ONCE,
IT'S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN.
00:18:29.13\00:18:31.86
FURTHERMORE, IF YOU AND I SHOULD
GET TO THE KINGDOM, WHEN YOU'RE
00:18:31.86\00:18:36.26
READING YOUR BIBLE, WHEN CHRIST
ROSE FROM THE GRAVE WITH HIS
00:18:36.26\00:18:38.53
GLORIFIED BODY, DID HE STILL
HAVE THE SCARS IN HIS HANDS?
00:18:38.53\00:18:42.10
THOSE MARKS REMAINED AS A
REMINDER OF GOD'S LOVE FOR YOU
00:18:42.10\00:18:46.36
AND ME THAT TERRIBLE EXPERIMENT
WITH SIN, THAT REBELLION WHEN
00:18:46.36\00:18:49.93
OUR PLANET WAS KIDNAPPED
BY THIS VILLAIN CALLED DEVIL,
00:18:49.93\00:18:52.43
WHAT IT DID TO GOD AND
HOW MUCH IT HURT JESUS.
00:18:52.43\00:18:55.00
NOBODY WILL EVERY
QUESTION HIS LOVE AGAIN.
00:18:55.00\00:18:57.50
LUCIFER WAS ABLE TO SUCCEED
BECAUSE THEY DOUBTED GOD'S LOVE.
00:18:57.50\00:19:01.06
THERE'LL NEVER BE ANY
DOUBT AGAIN THROUGH ETERNITY.
00:19:01.06\00:19:03.90
NUMBER 14, "HOW DOES GOD
FEEL ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF
00:19:03.90\00:19:07.70
THE WICKED?"
00:19:07.70\00:19:08.63
IS GOD PLEASED
THAT SOME WILL BE LOST?
00:19:08.63\00:19:10.90
EZEKIEL 33:11, SOME PEOPLE THINK
GOD IS VINDICTIVE AND HE'S GLAD
00:19:10.90\00:19:14.00
THAT MANY WILL BE LOST.
00:19:14.00\00:19:15.56
"SAY UNTO THEM, AS I LIVE, SAYS
THE LORD GOD, I HAVE NO PLEASURE
00:19:15.56\00:19:22.00
IN THE DEAD OF THE WICKED;
BUT THAT THE WICKED SHOULD TURN
00:19:22.00\00:19:26.90
FROM HIS WAY AND LIVE.
00:19:26.90\00:19:29.90
TURN YE, TURN YE FROM YOUR
EVIL WAYS, WHY WILL YOU DIE?"
00:19:29.90\00:19:34.70
YOU KNOW I CAN HEAR IN
THAT STATEMENT THE LORD PLEADING
00:19:34.70\00:19:37.73
THAT THEY WOULD TURN FROM SIN.
00:19:37.73\00:19:40.80
GOD, THE BIBLE TELLS US IN 1
PETER 3--2 PETER 3, GOD IS NOT
00:19:40.80\00:19:46.56
WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH.
00:19:46.56\00:19:49.66
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT
00:19:49.66\00:19:52.56
WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN
HIM, SHOULD NOT PERISH.
00:19:52.56\00:19:56.30
THE LORD DOES NOT
WANT YOU TO PERISH.
00:19:56.30\00:19:58.50
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:19:58.50\00:19:59.56
GOD'S LOVE HAS
GIVEN YOU A GREAT GIFT.
00:19:59.56\00:20:03.03
IT'S CALLED THE
FREEDOM OF CHOICE.
00:20:03.03\00:20:04.86
IF YOU CHOOSE YOU CAN RESIST HIS
PLEADING, HIS PROVIDENCE, THE
00:20:04.86\00:20:07.63
WAY THAT HE TRIES TO GET YOUR
ATTENTION OR YOU CAN SURRENDER.
00:20:07.63\00:20:10.20
HE LOVES YOU.
00:20:10.20\00:20:11.20
THE DEVIL WANTS TO DESTROY YOU.
00:20:11.20\00:20:13.53
THE DEVIL IS A BAMBOOZLER.
00:20:13.53\00:20:16.13
HE WILL DO EVERYTHING HE CAN TO
PROMOTE AND ADVERTISE AND PAINT
00:20:16.13\00:20:19.30
SIN AS SOMETHING ATTRACTIVE
WHERE IN REALTY IT'S FATAL.
00:20:19.30\00:20:24.23
YOU KNOW I LIVE, MOST
OF THE TIME, IN SACRAMENTO.
00:20:24.23\00:20:27.93
RIGHT ACROSS THE
MOUNTAIN WE'VE GOT RENO.
00:20:27.93\00:20:32.80
A LITTLE FURTHER
DOWN YOU'VE GOT LAS VEGAS.
00:20:32.80\00:20:36.16
AND THOSE CITIES ARE
BEAUTIFUL CITIES ON THE OUTSIDE.
00:20:36.16\00:20:41.36
THE FACT REMAINS THERE IS MORE
ADDICTION AND HEARTACHE IN THOSE
00:20:41.36\00:20:44.30
BEAUTIFUL CITIES THAN ANY
OTHER CITY, GAMBLING ADDICTIONS,
00:20:44.30\00:20:47.86
SEXUAL ADDICTIONS,
ALCOHOL, DRUG ADDICTIONS.
00:20:47.86\00:20:53.00
ON THE OUTSIDE IT'S SO
PRETTY BUT ON THE INSIDE,
00:20:53.00\00:20:55.36
THERE'S SO MUCH MISERY.
00:20:55.36\00:20:58.03
THE DEVIL WANTS IT TO
LOOK ATTRACTIVE TO FOLLOW HIM.
00:20:58.03\00:21:00.86
HE WANTS THE WORLD TO
LOOK PLEASING, BUT IT'S A LIE,
00:21:00.86\00:21:03.06
FRIENDS.
00:21:03.06\00:21:03.93
I TELL YOU I DID
EVERYTHING THE WORD HAD TO OFFER
00:21:03.93\00:21:06.06
AND I WAS A MISERABLE SLAVE.
00:21:06.06\00:21:08.33
I'LL TELL YOU MORE
ABOUT IT SATURDAY MORNING.
00:21:08.33\00:21:11.23
I HOPE YOU'RE ABLE TO COME.
00:21:11.23\00:21:12.30
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IF
YOU WANT TO HAVE REAL FREEDOM,
00:21:12.30\00:21:15.16
AND REAL LIFE, IT COMES
FROM ALLOWING THE LORD TO MOVE
00:21:15.16\00:21:18.00
INTO YOUR HEART TO
SHED HIS LIGHT THERE.
00:21:18.00\00:21:20.86
NUMBER 15, "HOW DID DAVID
RESPOND WHEN HE LEARNED THAT
00:21:20.86\00:21:24.80
HIS REBELLIOUS SON
ABSALOM HAD BEEN SLAIN?"
00:21:24.80\00:21:28.26
SOME OF THE MOST
MOVING WORDS IN THE BIBLE.
00:21:28.26\00:21:31.20
IT SAYS, "THE KING WAS, YOU READ
IN 2 SAMUEL 18:33, "AND THE KING
00:21:31.20\00:21:36.76
WAS MUCH MOVED AND HE WENT UP ON
THE--" THIS IS THE SON WHO TRIED
00:21:36.76\00:21:41.90
TO KILL HIM.
00:21:41.90\00:21:42.96
AND WHEN DAVID GOD WORD
THAT ABSALOM HAD DIED SUSPENDED
00:21:42.96\00:21:45.70
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH.
00:21:45.70\00:21:47.10
OH, WAIT A SECOND, I DON'T
WANT TO RUSH PAST THAT POINT.
00:21:47.10\00:21:50.33
HOW DID ABSALOM DIE?
00:21:50.33\00:21:52.40
YOU KNOW HOW THE REBELLION
IN JERUSALEM AND JUDEA STOPPED?
00:21:52.40\00:21:56.06
THE SON OF DAVID DIED, PIERCED
IN THE HEART, SUSPENDED BETWEEN
00:21:56.06\00:22:00.46
HEAVEN AND EARTH.
00:22:00.46\00:22:01.43
YOU KNOW WHAT THE
SOLUTION FOR SIN IS?
00:22:01.43\00:22:03.53
JESUS, THE SON OF
DAVID, DIED BROKEN HEART.
00:22:03.53\00:22:07.36
THEY PIERCED HIM WITH
A SPEAR TOO, DIDN'T THEY?
00:22:07.36\00:22:09.20
SUSPENDED HIM
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH.
00:22:09.20\00:22:11.03
YOU SEE WHY WE USE
THESE STORACLES TO TEACH
00:22:11.03\00:22:13.53
THESE PRINCIPLES?
00:22:13.53\00:22:14.93
ABSALOM, THAT
BEAUTIFUL SON DIED.
00:22:14.93\00:22:17.30
JESUS BECAME SIN FOR YOU AND ME.
00:22:17.30\00:22:19.36
HE TOOK THE PUNISHMENT.
00:22:19.36\00:22:21.16
AND DAVID LOVED THAT SON
WHO WANTED TO DESTROY HIM.
00:22:21.16\00:22:24.86
THE BIBLE SAYS GOD IS LOVE.
00:22:24.86\00:22:26.30
GOD LOVES EVERY ONE OF
YOU, EVEN IF YOU DON'T LOVE HIM,
00:22:26.30\00:22:28.03
HE STILL LOVES YOU.
00:22:28.03\00:22:29.10
IT'S UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
00:22:29.10\00:22:30.13
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S
NOTHING THAT CAN SEPARATE YOU
00:22:30.13\00:22:31.93
FROM THE LOVE OF GOD.
00:22:31.93\00:22:32.90
HE LOVES YOU DESPERATELY.
00:22:32.90\00:22:34.10
HE DIED FOR YOU EVEN BEFORE
YOU KNEW HOW MUCH HE LOVED YOU.
00:22:34.10\00:22:37.70
AND DAVID HAD THAT UNCONDITIONAL
LOVE FOR ABSALOM EVEN THOUGH
00:22:37.70\00:22:40.50
ABSALOM WANTED HIM DEAD.
00:22:40.50\00:22:41.76
WHEN HE FOUND OUT HIS SON
WAS DEAD, THE BIBLE SAYS HE WAS
00:22:41.76\00:22:43.96
MUCH MOVED AND HE WENT UP
TO THE CHAMBER OVER THE GATE.
00:22:43.96\00:22:47.00
THE SOLDIERS ARE COMING IN
VICTORIOUS AND THEY CAN HEAR
00:22:47.00\00:22:49.00
THE KING CRYING AND WEEPING.
00:22:49.00\00:22:50.96
"AND HE WENT, AS HE WEPT HE
SAID, O MY SON, ABSALOM, MY SON,
00:22:50.96\00:22:57.06
MY SON ABSALOM!
00:22:57.06\00:22:58.16
WOULD GOD I HAD DIED," SAY
IT, "DIED FOR THEE, O MY SON
00:22:58.16\00:23:06.30
ABSALOM."
00:23:06.30\00:23:07.66
MAKES TEARS COME TO YOUR
EYES WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
00:23:07.66\00:23:10.96
THE LOVE OF THAT
FATHER FOR HIS REBELLIOUS SON.
00:23:10.96\00:23:13.43
DO YOU THINK THAT DAVID LOVED
ABSALOM MORE THAN GOD LOVES YOU?
00:23:13.43\00:23:18.20
GOD LOVES YOU INFINITELY MORE.
00:23:18.20\00:23:19.80
YOU KNOW BEING A PASTOR,
PART OF MY JOB DESCRIPTION
00:23:19.80\00:23:24.56
IS I STILL DO FUNERALS.
00:23:24.56\00:23:26.46
I DO WEDDINGS.
00:23:26.46\00:23:27.40
I DON'T DO VERY MANY WEDDINGS
'CAUSE A LOT OF GIRLS ARE
00:23:27.40\00:23:29.36
SUPERSTITIOUS ABOUT HAVING
THE NAME "BATCHELOR" SIGNED
00:23:29.36\00:23:31.63
ON THEIR MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE,
WHICH IS OKAY WITH ME
00:23:31.63\00:23:34.96
BUT FUNERALS ARE HARD.
00:23:34.96\00:23:37.33
SOMETIMES I DO THEM FOR
BABIES WHO DIED FROM CRIB DEATH.
00:23:37.33\00:23:42.73
ONE OF THE HARDEST I DID
WAS FOR A 13-YEAR-OLD BOY,
00:23:42.73\00:23:45.43
HAD A HEART ATTACK ONE DAY.
00:23:45.43\00:23:46.80
NO DRUGS, HAD NO IDEA
HE HAD A HEALTH PROBLEM.
00:23:46.80\00:23:49.26
AND AFTER EVERYBODY FILES BY THE
CASKET, I HAD A BOY THE SAME AGE
00:23:49.26\00:23:52.83
AT THE TIME AND IT WAS
REALLY, REALLY HARD FOR ME.
00:23:52.83\00:23:55.73
I KEPT THINKING
THAT COULD BE MY SON.
00:23:55.73\00:23:57.96
FINALLY THE FAMILY
AND THE MOTHER COME BY.
00:23:57.96\00:24:00.76
AND THE MOTHER THREW HERSELF ON
THE STILL COLD FORM OF HER SON
00:24:00.76\00:24:05.20
AND TOOK HOLD OF HIM AND WOULD
NOT LET GO AND KEPT CRYING OVER
00:24:05.20\00:24:09.06
AND OVER AGAIN "MY
SON, MY SON, MY SON."
00:24:09.06\00:24:12.63
IT STILL ECHOES IN MY MIND.
00:24:12.63\00:24:14.13
THE FAMILY HAD TO PRY
HER FINGERS OFF OF HER BOY
00:24:14.13\00:24:16.83
AND BRING HER OUT.
00:24:16.83\00:24:18.06
AND YOU THINK HOW MUCH HUMAN
PARENTS LOVE THEIR CHILDREN,
00:24:18.06\00:24:21.46
HOW MUCH DO YOU
THINK GOD LOVES HIS SON?
00:24:21.46\00:24:24.70
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK HE MUST
LOVE YOU AND ME IN THAT HE GAVE
00:24:24.70\00:24:28.76
HIS SON SO YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER.
00:24:28.76\00:24:30.56
WHAT A SHAME IF WE DO NOT
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT SACRIFICE
00:24:30.56\00:24:34.10
THAT THE LORD HAS MADE
FOR US TO LIVE FOREVER.

THE FREEWILL OF HIS CREATURES.
00:26:57.93\00:27:00.36
THE LORD NEVER
FORCES US TO LOVE HIM.

IT MUST BE OUR CHOICE.
00:27:03.43\00:27:05.36

TO REBEL HAS INITIATED ALL

THE TROUBLE THAT WE
