>>SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT IF
YOU'VE GOT A BIBLE, THE DEVIL'S
00:01:11.67\00:01:13.90
GOING TO RUN. THAT'S NOT TRUE.
OR THAT THE DEVIL, WHEN HE SEES
00:01:13.94\00:01:17.87
A CHURCH, HE GOES
IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.
00:01:17.91\00:01:19.87
NO, THE DEVIL'S NOT AFRAID
OF CHURCH, HE'S NOT AFRAID OF
00:01:19.91\00:01:22.11
WORSHIP, HE JUST WANTS
TO BE THE OBJECT OF WORSHIP.
00:01:22.14\00:01:24.91
HE WANTS GOD'S POSITION.

00:01:40.20\00:01:49.47
>>ABOUT A WEEK AGO - MAYBE A
LITTLE MORE THAN A WEEK AGO - I
00:01:49.50\00:01:52.81
WAS SURFING THROUGH
THE RELIGIOUS CHANNELS.
00:01:52.84\00:01:56.24
WE GET ABOUT, OH, A
DOZEN DIFFERENT CHANNELS, AND I
00:01:56.28\00:01:59.68
STOPPED TO LISTEN TO A PREACHER
- IF I SAID THE NAME MANY HERE
00:01:59.71\00:02:03.65
WOULD RECOGNIZE THE NAME.
HE'S BEEN IN THE PRESS, HE'S GOT
00:02:03.69\00:02:08.06
AN INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY - HE'S
KIND OF IN THE BALLPARK OF WHAT
00:02:08.09\00:02:11.73
YOU WOULD CALL A
PROSPERITY PREACHER.
00:02:11.76\00:02:14.93
AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW
WHERE THERE IS NO LAW THERE IS
00:02:14.96\00:02:18.57
NO SIN AND, SOMEHOW, HE TWISTED
THAT AROUND AND I HEARD HIM SAY,
00:02:18.60\00:02:27.21
'IT'S THE DEVIL THAT WANTS YOU
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.'
00:02:27.24\00:02:31.78
(SHOCKED MURMURING) WHAT?
AND HE SAID IT TWO OR THREE
00:02:31.81\00:02:35.45
DIFFERENT TIMES 'IF SOMEONE'S
COMING AROUND TELLING YOU YOU'VE
00:02:35.48\00:02:37.79
GOT TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
- WHERE THERE'S A LAW THERE'S
00:02:37.82\00:02:40.92
SIN - AND SO HE'S TEACHING
YOU TO SIN.' I'M GOING, 'WHAT?'
00:02:40.96\00:02:46.53
AND I PRESSED THE RECORD BUTTON
AND I THOUGHT, 'MAYBE I DIDN'T
00:02:46.56\00:02:48.60
GET THIS RIGHT,' AND SO I PLAYED
IT BACK AND THEN I LATER PLAYED
00:02:48.63\00:02:50.93
IT FOR KAREN A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
00:02:50.97\00:02:52.47
I SAID, 'LISTEN TO
THIS.' AND SHE SAID, 'WHAT?'
00:02:52.50\00:02:56.44
(LAUGHTER) BECAUSE HE ALMOST
MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT WAS THE
00:02:56.47\00:03:00.68
DEVIL UP THERE ON MOUNT SINAI
GIVING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:03:00.71\00:03:06.38
AND WHAT REALLY BOTHERED ME
IS THAT HE HAD AN AUDIENCE WITH
00:03:06.41\00:03:10.49
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND
THEY WERE SAYING, 'AMEN.' AND I
00:03:10.52\00:03:16.73
THOUGHT, 'WOW, THE DEVIL'S GOT
PEOPLE IN CHURCH - THEY'RE GOING
00:03:16.76\00:03:24.47
THROUGH - THEY'VE GOT A BIBLE
AND THEY'RE IN A CHURCH BUILDING
00:03:24.50\00:03:27.84
AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH ALL OF
THE FANFARE AND POMP OF A CHURCH
00:03:27.87\00:03:31.34
SERVICE, BUT THEY'RE
TEACHING DOCTRINES OF DEVILS.
00:03:31.37\00:03:35.34
WELL, FROM THAT POINT, IT BEGAN
TO EXPAND ON IN MY MIND, AND
00:03:35.38\00:03:39.58
THAT'S WHY I DECIDED TO TALK
ABOUT THIS SUBJECT: WHEN THE
00:03:39.61\00:03:41.72
DEVIL GOES TO CHURCH .
NOW, NOT ONLY DO I OCCASIONALLY
00:03:41.75\00:03:45.39
WATCH RELIGIOUS PROGRAMMING,
I LIKE NATURE PROGRAMMING.
00:03:45.42\00:03:48.59
AND THERE WAS THIS ONE PROGRAM
I SAW - I ACTUALLY WATCHED THIS
00:03:48.62\00:03:53.03
ONE EPISODE SEVERAL
TIMES - ABOUT THE CUCKOO BIRD.
00:03:53.06\00:03:56.97
NOW, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
ONES THAT GO INSIDE THE CLOCKS
00:03:57.00\00:04:01.00
THAT COME OUT AND TELL YOU WHEN
IT'S THE HOUR, I'M TALKING ABOUT
00:04:01.04\00:04:03.41
THE REAL CUCKOO BIRD.
AND THEY'VE GOT THEM IN ALL
00:04:03.44\00:04:05.97
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD,
BUT THE THING THAT THE CUCKOO
00:04:06.01\00:04:08.98
BIRD DOES THAT IS A LITTLE
BIT MISCHIEVOUS, IS IT LAYS ITS
00:04:09.01\00:04:15.25
EGG IN ANOTHER BIRD'S NEST
AND THEN IT MAKES THE OTHER
00:04:15.28\00:04:20.96
BIRD RAISE ITS BABY. A
WORN WARBLER COMES BACK, IT
00:04:20.99\00:04:25.09
DOESN'T KNOW - THE EGGS
LOOK THE SAME - AND SO IT'S
00:04:25.13\00:04:28.50
SITTING ON THE CUCKOO EGG.
AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE CUCKOO
00:04:28.53\00:04:32.03
EGG HATCHES FIRST AND THEN, WHEN
IT GOES OUT TO GET FOOD TO FEED
00:04:32.07\00:04:36.81
THE LITTLE CUCKOO CHICK -
IT THINKS IT'S HIS CHICK - THE
00:04:36.84\00:04:39.81
CUCKOO CHICK PUSHES THE
OTHER EGGS OUT OF THE NEST.
00:04:39.84\00:04:44.11
SO THEY PLANT AN IMPOSTER
IN THERE. THEY TAKE OVER.
00:04:44.15\00:04:48.88
THAT'S HAPPENED IN A LOT OF
CHURCHES. THAT'S WHY YOU'VE SEEN
00:04:48.92\00:04:52.09
SOME CUCKOO WORSHIP SERVICES -
(LAUGHTER) - GOING ON OUT THERE,
00:04:52.12\00:04:56.42
IT'S BECAUSE THE
DEVIL DOES GO TO CHURCH.
00:04:56.46\00:04:59.06
WHEN I WAS YOUNG I USED TO
THINK, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO
00:04:59.09\00:05:01.40
KEEP THE VAMPIRES AWAY, YOU NEED
GARLIC AND YOU NEED A CROSS.
00:05:01.43\00:05:05.50
AND YOU'VE PROBABLY
HEARD THESE STORIES BEFORE.
00:05:05.53\00:05:08.84
AND SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT IF
YOU'VE GOT A BIBLE, THE DEVIL'S
00:05:08.87\00:05:11.24
GOING TO RUN. THAT'S NOT TRUE.
00:05:11.27\00:05:14.04
OR THAT THE DEVIL, WHEN HE SEES
A CHURCH, HE GOES IN THE OTHER
00:05:14.08\00:05:17.15
DIRECTION. NO, THE
DEVIL GOES TO CHURCH.
00:05:17.18\00:05:22.28
THE BIBLE'S PRETTY CLEAR - PAUL
WARNED US THERE WOULD BE FALSE
00:05:22.32\00:05:24.99
TEACHERS. ACTS
CHAPTER 20, VERSE 29, "FOR
00:05:25.02\00:05:29.19
I KNOW THIS" - PAUL SAID - "THAT
AFTER MY DEPARTURE SAVAGE WOLVES
00:05:29.22\00:05:33.46
WILL COME IN AMONG
YOU, NOT SPARING THE FLOCK.
00:05:33.50\00:05:37.27
ALSO FROM AMONG YOURSELVES MEN
WILL RISE UP, SPEAKING PERVERSE
00:05:37.30\00:05:42.30
THINGS, TO DRAW AWAY THE
DISCIPLES AFTER THEMSELVES."
00:05:42.34\00:05:45.81
IN MATTHEW 24, JESUS TOLD US,
ESPECIALLY IN THE LAST DAYS, ONE
00:05:45.84\00:05:48.78
THING YOU REALLY NEED TO WATCH
FOR - HE SAID, 'THERE WILL BE
00:05:48.81\00:05:51.38
MANY FALSE PROPHETS.
THERE'LL BE MANY FALSE CHRISTS.'
00:05:51.41\00:05:56.55
HE SAID, 'MANY WILL COME IN
MY NAME SAYING I AM CHRIST.' NOW
00:05:56.58\00:05:59.32
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY'RE
SAYING THEY'RE CHRIST, THEY'RE
00:05:59.35\00:06:01.19
SAYING THEY COME IN THE NAME OF
JESUS SAYING 'JESUS IS CHRIST'
00:06:01.22\00:06:03.96
AND THEN THEY DECEIVE.
MANY IN THE CHURCHES - THAT'S
00:06:03.99\00:06:08.53
WHY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MANY
COME TO CHRIST, THEY'LL SAY,
00:06:08.56\00:06:10.23
'LORD, LORD' AND HE'LL
SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU.
00:06:10.27\00:06:11.73
YOU WERE SITTING UNDER THE
TEACHING OF WOLVES AND YOU'VE
00:06:11.77\00:06:16.64
BEEN DECEIVED.' MATTHEW 7:15,
JESUS SAID, "BEWARE OF FALSE
00:06:16.67\00:06:20.91
PROPHETS, WHO COME TO YOU IN
SHEEP'S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY
00:06:20.94\00:06:25.95
THEY ARE RAVENOUS WOLVES."
2 CORINTHIANS 11, VERSE 13,
00:06:25.98\00:06:31.02
PAUL SAID, "FOR SUCH ARE FALSE
APOSTLES, DECEITFUL WORKERS,
00:06:31.05\00:06:34.59
TRANSFORMING THEMSELVES
INTO APOSTLES OF CHRIST."
00:06:34.62\00:06:37.66
THEY TRY TO LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
APOSTLES OF CHRIST BUT THEY
00:06:37.69\00:06:40.16
TEACH DOCTRINES OF DEVILS AND
THEY OFTEN DO IT TO GET THEIR
00:06:40.20\00:06:43.43
OWN FOLLOWING BECAUSE THEY'RE
INTERESTED IN SELF-WORSHIP.
00:06:43.47\00:06:47.04
"THEREFORE IT IS NO GREAT THING
IF HIS MINISTERS ALSO TRANSFORM
00:06:47.07\00:06:50.64
THEMSELVES INTO MINISTERS OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHOSE END WILL BE
00:06:50.67\00:06:54.31
ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS."
SO THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE
00:06:54.34\00:06:56.31
WHO PRETEND TO BE MINISTERS OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS SO THAT THEY CAN
00:06:56.34\00:07:01.98
RECRUIT FOLLOWERS OR
INTRODUCE FALSE TEACHINGS.
00:07:02.02\00:07:05.15
SO, HOW DO YOU KNOW?
IT'S HARD TO TELL WHEN THEY'RE
00:07:05.19\00:07:07.79
WEARING SHEEP'S CLOTHES.
SATAN CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO AN
00:07:07.82\00:07:11.36
ANGEL OF LIGHT - THEY
LOOK LIKE ANGELS OF LIGHT.
00:07:11.39\00:07:14.10
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
EVERYTHING - WELL, JESUS SAID
00:07:14.13\00:07:17.83
YOU'LL KNOW THEM BY
THEIR FRUITS, FOR ONE THING.
00:07:17.87\00:07:21.24
AND HE SAID YOU'LL KNOW
THEM BY THEIR TEACHINGS.
00:07:21.27\00:07:24.57
IF IT DOESN'T MATCH UP WITH THE
WORD OF GOD - AND, OF COURSE,
00:07:24.61\00:07:26.68
THERE'LL BE SIMILARITIES;
THERE'LL BE SOME THINGS THAT
00:07:26.71\00:07:28.91
SOUND LIKE THEY'RE BIBLICAL.
00:07:28.94\00:07:31.01
YOU KNOW, IT GOES WAY BACK, EVEN
BACK IN THE TIME OF THE APOSTLES
00:07:31.05\00:07:35.92
THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH
WOLVES AMONG THE SHEEP.
00:07:35.95\00:07:39.55
PAUL TALKED ABOUT SOME WHO HAD
TURNED ON HIM IN 3 JOHN - THIS
00:07:39.59\00:07:46.46
IS THE THIRD LETTER OF
JOHN, VERSE 9 AND 10 - JOHN, THE
00:07:46.49\00:07:50.30
APOSTLE, HE SAYS, "I WROTE TO
THE CHURCH, BUT DIOTREPHES, WHO
00:07:50.33\00:07:54.57
LOVES TO HAVE THE PREEMINENCE
AMONG THEM, DOES NOT RECEIVE US.
00:07:54.60\00:07:57.57
THEREFORE, IF I COME, I WILL
CALL TO MIND HIS DEEDS WHICH HE
00:07:57.61\00:08:00.98
DOES, PRATING AGAINST
US WITH MALICIOUS WORDS..."
00:08:01.01\00:08:03.75
HERE WAS A CHURCH LEADER BACK
IN THE DAYS OF THE APOSTLE JOHN
00:08:03.78\00:08:06.51
WHO'S TURNING THE
PEOPLE AWAY FROM AN APOSTLE.
00:08:06.55\00:08:10.45
THAT'S GOT TO BE PRETTY
BAD. JOHN WAS A NICE GUY.
00:08:10.49\00:08:12.55
HE WAS THE APOSTLE OF LOVE.
BUT THEY HAD WOLVES GETTING
00:08:12.59\00:08:15.86
INTO THE CHURCH EVEN BACK THEN.
PAUL TALKED ABOUT DEMETRIUS, THE
00:08:15.89\00:08:20.30
SILVERSMITH, 'WHO DID ME
MUCH EVIL.' HE STARTED OUT
00:08:20.33\00:08:23.26
LOOKING LIKE A BELIEVER.
SO, YOU LOOK IN THE GOSPELS AND
00:08:23.30\00:08:28.54
YOU'LL FIND OUT THAT ONE OF THE
FIRST MIRACLES THAT JESUS DID
00:08:28.57\00:08:31.17
WAS CASTING OUT A DEVIL,
BUT LOOK AT WHERE IT HAPPENS.
00:08:31.21\00:08:33.91
GO TO LUKE CHAPTER 4 - AND
YOU'LL ALSO FIND A PARALLEL
00:08:33.94\00:08:36.31
PASSAGE IN MARK CHAPTER 1 -
"THEN HE WENT DOWN TO CAPERNAUM,
00:08:36.34\00:08:40.12
A CITY OF GALILEE, AND WAS
TEACHING THEM ON THE SABBATHS.
00:08:40.15\00:08:43.79
AND THEY WERE ASTONISHED AT HIS
TEACHING, FOR HIS WORD WAS WITH
00:08:43.82\00:08:46.89
AUTHORITY." HE TAUGHT WITH
POWER. HE TAUGHT WITH AUTHORITY.
00:08:46.92\00:08:50.49
"NOW IN THE SYNAGOGUE" - JUST
IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, THE WORD
00:08:50.53\00:08:54.00
'SYNAGOGUE' IS THE SAME WORD
AS 'CHURCH'; IT JUST MEANS 'THE
00:08:54.00\00:08:56.33
GATHERING PLACE' - "NOW IN
THE SYNAGOGUE" - IN THE CHURCH -
00:08:56.36\00:08:59.23
"THERE WAS A MAN WHO HAD A
SPIRIT OF AN UNCLEAN DEMON..."
00:08:59.27\00:09:02.87
HE MAY HAVE BEEN ON THE BOOKS
FOR YEARS AND NOBODY KNEW THAT
00:09:02.90\00:09:05.74
HE HAD A SPIRIT OF AN UNCLEAN
DEMON - IT DOESN'T SAY - "AND HE
00:09:05.77\00:09:08.88
CRIED OUT" - JESUS IS TEACHING
AND HE SUDDENLY CRIES OUT AND HE
00:09:08.91\00:09:12.01
GOES INTO A FIT - "LET US
ALONE! WHAT HAVE WE TO DO WITH
00:09:12.05\00:09:15.35
YOU, JESUS OF NAZARETH?
DID YOU COME TO DESTROY US?
00:09:15.38\00:09:18.12
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE -
THE HOLY ONE OF GOD!"
00:09:18.15\00:09:21.06
NOW, WAS HE RIGHT?
KEEP IN MIND, THESE FALLEN
00:09:21.09\00:09:24.63
ANGELS, DID THEY KNOW
JESUS EVEN BEFORE THE CREATION?
00:09:24.66\00:09:28.10
THEY MAY HAVE KNOWN
JESUS FROM MILLIONS OF YEARS.
00:09:28.13\00:09:32.57
WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG
THE ANGELS EXISTED BEFORE THE
00:09:32.60\00:09:34.60
REBELLION. THEY
KNEW WHO JESUS WAS.
00:09:34.64\00:09:38.34
YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE THE DEVIL
OCCASIONALLY SHARES SOME GOOD
00:09:38.37\00:09:41.74
THEOLOGY DOESN'T MEAN HE'S
NOT A DEVIL. I THINK IT WAS
00:09:41.78\00:09:46.35
A.W. TOZIER WHO SAID, 'THE DEVIL
IS A BETTER THEOLOGIAN THAN ALL
00:09:46.38\00:09:49.52
OF US, BUT HE'S A DEVIL STILL.'
IN JAMES CHAPTER 2, HE SAID,
00:09:49.55\00:09:54.09
"YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE
IS ONE GOD. YOU DO WELL.
00:09:54.12\00:09:56.19
EVEN THE DEMONS BELIEVE -
AND TREMBLE!" DID YOU KNOW THE
00:09:56.22\00:09:59.13
DEVILS BELIEVE IN ONE GOD?
THE DEVILS ARE NOT POLYTHEISTIC,
00:09:59.16\00:10:02.26
THEY'RE MONOTHEISTIC - THEY'RE
CORRECT, THERE'S ONE GOD.
00:10:02.30\00:10:05.67
MATTHEW - I'M SORRY, MARK 4:15,
IT SAYS, "AND THESE ARE THE ONES
00:10:05.70\00:10:09.70
BY THE WAYSIDE
WHERE THE WORD IS SOWN.
00:10:09.74\00:10:12.31
WHEN THEY HEAR, SATAN COMES
IMMEDIATELY AND TAKES AWAY THE
00:10:12.34\00:10:16.04
WORD THAT WAS
SOWN IN THEIR HEARTS."
00:10:16.08\00:10:18.31
THE DEVIL HATES FOR
PEOPLE TO HEAR THE WORD.
00:10:18.35\00:10:21.95
I'LL SAY MORE ABOUT THIS LATER,
BUT SOMETIMES THE DEVIL SNEAKS
00:10:21.98\00:10:25.09
INTO CHURCH AND
HE USES YOU AND ME.
00:10:25.12\00:10:27.66
ARE YOU ALL AWARE THE
DEVIL DOES NOT HAUNT HOUSES?
00:10:27.69\00:10:31.93
I AM NEVER WORRIED ABOUT
HAUNTED TWO BY FOURS OR HAUNTED
00:10:31.96\00:10:35.13
CINDER BLOCKS OR
HAUNTED CONCRETE.
00:10:35.16\00:10:38.07
THE DEVIL HAUNTS PEOPLE AND HE
CAN SOMETIMES EVEN GET INTO YOU
00:10:38.10\00:10:43.84
AND ME AND WHEN THE WORD IS
BEING PREACHED THE DEVIL WILL
00:10:43.87\00:10:49.48
TRY TO SNATCH AWAY THE WORD.
YOU KNOW THE PARABLE - SOME
00:10:49.51\00:10:52.48
WORDS - SOME SEED FELL ON THE
WAYSIDE AND THE RAVENS CAME AND
00:10:52.51\00:10:56.18
SNATCHED IT AWAY - BY THE WAY,
THEY WERE CUCKOO BIRDS THEY CAME
00:10:56.22\00:10:59.05
AND THEY TOOK AWAY
THE SEED RIGHT AWAY.
00:10:59.09\00:11:01.72
AND, I'LL TELL YOU, ONE OF
THE WAYS THE DEVIL SNEAKS INTO
00:11:01.76\00:11:05.16
CHURCH IS WHEN THE PREACHER IS
PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD - AND
00:11:05.19\00:11:10.10
HE MIGHT BE PREACHING WITH
AUTHORITY - ALL OF A SUDDEN THE
00:11:10.13\00:11:14.10
DEVIL WILL PINCH A BABY AND THE
BABY WILL LET OUT A WOLF CALL OR
00:11:14.14\00:11:21.48
PEOPLE WILL START TALKING
NEXT TO YOU AND YOU'RE TRYING TO
00:11:21.51\00:11:24.28
EAVESDROP ON THEIR CONVERSATION.
WE NEED TO BE REVERENT DURING
00:11:24.31\00:11:28.78
CHURCH BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO
BE THE WOLF THAT'S DISTRACTING
00:11:28.82\00:11:32.92
THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU
FROM HEARING THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:32.95\00:11:36.42
AND IF WE'RE ALL FUSSING
AND - OR THE DEVIL GETS INTO OUR
00:11:36.46\00:11:40.03
THINKING SOMETIMES AND - SO WHEN
THE WORD IS SPOKEN THAT MIGHT
00:11:40.06\00:11:44.10
TRANSFORM YOU, YOU DON'T HEAR
IT BECAUSE YOU'RE PREOCCUPIED
00:11:44.13\00:11:47.04
THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE.
SO WE'VE GOT TO PRAY THAT GOD'LL
00:11:47.07\00:11:50.07
HELP US TO FOCUS ON THE WORD.
NOW, IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE YOU
00:11:50.11\00:11:55.38
THAT THE DEVIL SOMETIMES GOES
TO CHURCH; HE STARTED IN CHURCH.
00:11:55.41\00:11:59.71
LOOK IN EZEKIEL 28, VERSES 12
AND 15 - YEP, THE DEVIL STARTED
00:11:59.75\00:12:03.85
IN CHURCH. IT
SAYS, "THUS SAYS THE LORD
00:12:03.89\00:12:06.15
GOD, 'YOU WERE THE SEAL
OF PERFECTION, FULL OF WISDOM
00:12:06.19\00:12:09.59
AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY. YOU
WERE IN EDEN, THE GARDEN OF
00:12:09.62\00:12:12.63
GOD; EVERY PRECIOUS STONE
WAS YOUR COVERING: THE SARDIUS,
00:12:12.66\00:12:16.26
TOPAZ, AND DIAMOND, BERYL, ONYX,
AND JASPER,'" - BY THE WAY,
00:12:16.30\00:12:19.37
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT THE HIGH
PRIEST WORE ON HIS BREASTPLATE.
00:12:19.40\00:12:22.87
IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE WAS A
MINISTER IN GOD'S SANCTUARY,
00:12:22.90\00:12:27.18
WHICH HE WAS - "THE WORKMANSHIP
OF YOUR TIMBRELS AND PIPES WAS
00:12:27.21\00:12:31.15
PREPARED FOR YOU ON
THE DAY YOU WERE CREATED."
00:12:31.18\00:12:33.31
HE PROBABLY LED
THE HEAVENLY CHOIR.
00:12:33.35\00:12:35.45
HE SANG PRAISES TO GOD.
THE DEVIL HAS BEEN A PRIEST, HE
00:12:35.48\00:12:39.99
HAS BEEN A CHOIR DIRECTOR - "YOU
WERE THE ANOINTED CHERUB WHO
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.22
COVERS;" - YOU
KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
00:12:43.26\00:12:44.49
WHAT'S A COVERING CHERUB?
THERE, BY THE THRONE OF GOD,
00:12:44.53\00:12:47.23
YOU'VE GOT THESE TWO
ANGELS. HAVE YOU READ ISAIAH 6?
00:12:47.30\00:12:50.60
THEY CRY 'HOLY, HOLY, HOLY' -
IT CALLS THEM SERAPHIM THERE -
00:12:50.63\00:12:54.34
CHERUBIM - AND
THEY'VE GOT THE SIX WINGS.
00:12:54.37\00:12:56.77
AND THERE BY THE THRONE OF
GOD THE HIGHEST, MOST EXALTED
00:12:56.81\00:12:59.41
POSITION NEXT TO GOD HIMSELF
IS THE POSITION HELD BY THESE
00:12:59.44\00:13:03.04
COVERING ANGELS - LIKE THEY
SAT ON THE ARK - TWO COVERING
00:13:03.08\00:13:07.05
CHERUBS. THAT WAS
THE POSITION OF LUCIFER.
00:13:07.08\00:13:10.09
LUCIFER WENT TO
CHURCH. HE WAS IN THE INNER
00:13:10.12\00:13:12.85
SANCTUM OF THE CHURCH.
HE'S NOT SCARED OF CHURCH.
00:13:12.89\00:13:17.63
ISAIAH 14 - HE
WANTS TO BE WORSHIPED.
00:13:17.66\00:13:21.93
YOU READ VERSES 14 - VERSES 12
TO 14 IN ISAIAH 14, IT SAYS YOU
00:13:21.96\00:13:25.77
HAVE DECLARED, "...I WILL ASCEND
INTO HEAVEN,...I WILL ASCEND
00:13:25.80\00:13:29.44
[ABOVE THE HEIGHTS OF THE
CLOUDS], I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST
00:13:29.47\00:13:31.57
HIGH." YOU SEE, THE
DEVIL WANTS TO BE WORSHIPED.
00:13:31.61\00:13:35.04
YOU'RE NOT SURPRISED BY THAT,
YOU KNEW - WHAT DID HE SAY TO
00:13:35.08\00:13:37.45
JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS?
'IF YOU'LL JUST FALL DOWN AND
00:13:37.48\00:13:39.91
WORSHIP ME.' THE
DEVIL'S NOT AFRAID OF CHURCH.
00:13:39.95\00:13:43.32
HE'S NOT AFRAID OF WORSHIP.
HE JUST WANTS TO BE THE OBJECT
00:13:43.35\00:13:45.39
OF WORSHIP IS WHAT HE'S AFTER.
AND HE WANTS YOUR WORSHIP.
00:13:45.42\00:13:49.69
>>DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS, IN
JUST A MOMENT WE'LL RETURN WITH
00:13:49.72\00:13:52.96
TODAY'S PRESENTATION. IN
THE BOOK OF REVELATION, WE
00:13:52.99\00:13:56.56
SEE IT DESCRIBING TWO
WOMEN THAT ARE VERY DIFFERENT.
00:13:56.60\00:13:59.80
ONE IS A PURE WOMAN CLOTHED IN
LIGHT; THE OTHER IS BETTER KNOWN
00:13:59.83\00:14:03.24
AS THE SCARLET
HARLOT OF REVELATION 17.
00:14:03.27\00:14:06.94
WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND THESE TWO WOMEN IN
00:14:06.98\00:14:10.08
PROPHECY AND WHO ARE
THEY? WHAT IS THE LITERAL
00:14:10.11\00:14:12.78
MEANING OF BABYLON?
WHAT IS ITS ORIGINS?
00:14:12.81\00:14:15.45

THIS RESOURCE, FILLED WITH
SCRIPTURE, REVEALS THE IDENTITY
00:14:25.26\00:14:28.20
OF THESE WOMEN IN REVELATION AND

PRESENTATION AND LEARN
SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS ABOUT
00:14:47.92\00:14:50.89
THE WORD OF GOD.
>>SO WHAT IS HIS END GAME?
00:14:50.92\00:14:55.82
WHAT IS IT THAT THE DEVIL
IS ULTIMATELY SHOOTING FOR?
00:14:55.86\00:14:59.93
THIS IS WHERE I THINK
IT GETS VERY INTERESTING: 2
00:14:59.96\00:15:03.06
THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2, VERSE
3, "LET NO ONE DECEIVE YOU BY
00:15:03.10\00:15:08.40
ANY MEANS; FOR THAT DAY" -
TALKING ABOUT THE DAY OF THE
00:15:08.44\00:15:11.47
LORD AND TALKING ABOUT THE END
OF TIME - "...THAT DAY WILL NOT
00:15:11.51\00:15:15.44
COME UNLESS THE
FALLING AWAY COMES FIRST."
00:15:15.48\00:15:19.58
I WANT TO PARK RIGHT THERE.
'A FALLING AWAY' - DOES HE MEAN
00:15:19.61\00:15:22.48
A FALLING AWAY IN THE
WORLD? NO, THE WORLD FELL WAY
00:15:22.52\00:15:24.39
BACK IN ADAM'S
TIME. THE WORLD'S FALLEN.
00:15:24.42\00:15:26.82
IT'S TALKING ABOUT
A FALLING AWAY WHERE?
00:15:26.86\00:15:28.76
>>IN THE
CHURCH. >>IN THE CHURCH.
00:15:28.79\00:15:30.56
THAT DAY - THE DAY OF THE LORD
- THE FINAL EVENTS, THEY'RE NOT
00:15:30.59\00:15:32.66
GOING TO - IT'S NOT GOING TO
HAPPEN UNLESS THERE'S A FALLING
00:15:32.69\00:15:34.60
AWAY FIRST. "AND THE
MAN OF SIN IS REVEALED,
00:15:34.63\00:15:38.10
THE SON OF PERDITION, WHO
OPPOSES AND EXALTS HIMSELF ABOVE
00:15:38.13\00:15:42.44
ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD OR
THAT IS WORSHIPED," - HE OPPOSES
00:15:42.47\00:15:45.94
ALL OF GOD'S WORSHIP, WHY? -
"SO THAT HE SITS AS GOD IN THE
00:15:45.97\00:15:50.71
TEMPLE OF GOD, SHOWING
HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD."
00:15:50.75\00:15:54.95
DOES THE DEVIL HAVE A
PROBLEM GOING TO CHURCH?
00:15:54.98\00:15:56.75
NO, HE WANTS TO GO TO CHURCH
AND HE WANTS TO BE WORSHIPED.
00:15:56.79\00:16:00.39
THIS IS HIS END GAME. DANIEL
8:13, "THEN I HEARD A HOLY ONE
00:16:00.42\00:16:05.26
SPEAKING, AND ANOTHER HOLY
ONE SAID TO THAT CERTAIN ONE WHO
00:16:05.29\00:16:07.86
WAS SPEAKING, 'HOW LONG WILL THE
VISION BE, CONCERNING THE DAILY
00:16:07.86\00:16:11.13
SACRIFICES AND THE TRANSGRESSION
OF DESOLATION, THE GIVING OF
00:16:11.17\00:16:14.64
BOTH THE SANCTUARY AND THE
HOST TO BE TRAMPLED UNDERFOOT?'"
00:16:14.67\00:16:18.27
THIS IS THE ABOMINATION OF
DESOLATION - THE DEVIL WANTS TO
00:16:18.31\00:16:20.91
TRAMPLE DOWN GOD'S
PEOPLE AND HIS PLACE.
00:16:20.94\00:16:24.08
LOOK IN DANIEL 11, VERSE 45,
"AND HE SHALL PLANT THE TENTS OF
00:16:24.11\00:16:27.88
HIS PALACE BETWEEN THE SEAS AND
THE GLORIOUS HOLY MOUNTAIN;" -
00:16:27.92\00:16:32.22
HIS DESIRE IN THE LAST
DAYS IS TO PLANT HIMSELF - TO BE
00:16:32.25\00:16:35.06
ENTHRONED IN THAT HOLY PLACE.
YOU CAN ALSO READ IN MATTHEW
00:16:35.09\00:16:41.40
24:15, JESUS WARNED US - AND
THIS, BY THE WAY, IS CHRIST'S
00:16:41.43\00:16:45.43
WORDS TALKING ABOUT THE LAST
DAYS: "THEREFORE WHEN YOU SEE
00:16:45.47\00:16:48.57
THE 'ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION,'
SPOKEN OF BY DANIEL THE PROPHET,
00:16:48.60\00:16:52.51
STANDING IN" - WHAT'S
THE REST? "THE HOLY PLACE."
00:16:52.54\00:16:57.11
WHERE DOES THIS ABOMINATION
OF DESOLATION WANT TO STAND?
00:16:57.15\00:17:00.38
IN THE HOLY PLACE.
WHAT IS THAT HOLY PLACE?
00:17:00.42\00:17:03.82
IT'S THE PLACE WHERE THE
BEING RESIDES, WHO WE WORSHIP.
00:17:03.85\00:17:10.13
THE DEVIL WANTS YOUR WORSHIP.
WHY WOULD YOU DOUBT THAT?
00:17:10.16\00:17:14.56
WHAT'S THE WHOLE
FINAL TEST ABOUT?
00:17:14.56\00:17:16.13
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO
MAKE A DECISION: DO YOU WORSHIP
00:17:16.16\00:17:19.23
THE BEAST OR DO YOU
HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD?
00:17:19.27\00:17:22.94
THE DEVIL WANTS TO BE AT
THE CENTER OF THE WORSHIP OF THE
00:17:22.97\00:17:27.38
WORLD. HE WANTS GOD'S POSITION.
THAT'S WHY HE TOLD JESUS, 'JUST
00:17:27.41\00:17:32.15
FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP ME
AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.'
00:17:32.18\00:17:36.42
GO TO MATTHEW
16. GO TO VERSE 13.
00:17:36.45\00:17:40.26
NOW THIS IS WHEN JESUS ASKS THAT
BIG QUESTION TO THE APOSTLES: HE
00:17:40.29\00:17:46.26
SAYS, "...'WHO DO MEN SAY
THAT I, THE SON OF MAN, AM?'
00:17:46.29\00:17:50.70
SO THEY SAID, 'SOME SAY JOHN THE
BAPTIST, SOME ELIJAH, AND OTHERS
00:17:50.73\00:17:53.64
JEREMIAH OR ONE OF THE
PROPHETS.'...'BUT WHO DO YOU SAY
00:17:53.67\00:17:56.00
THAT I AM?' SIMON
PETER ANSWERED AND SAID,
00:17:56.04\00:17:59.54
'YOU ARE THE CHRIST, THE SON OF
THE LIVING GOD.' JESUS ANSWERED
00:17:59.57\00:18:03.41
AND SAID TO HIM, 'BLESSED ARE
YOU, SIMON BAR JONAH, FOR FLESH
00:18:03.45\00:18:08.78
AND BLOOD HAS NOT REVEALED
THIS TO YOU, BUT MY FATHER
00:18:08.82\00:18:11.65
WHO IS IN HEAVEN." SO
PETER'S FEELING PRETTY GOOD.
00:18:11.69\00:18:14.76
JESUS IS SAYING, 'PETER,
YOU HAVE JUST SPOKEN WITH
00:18:14.79\00:18:17.73
INSPIRATION. THE HOLY
SPIRIT GAVE THAT TO YOU.
00:18:17.76\00:18:22.30
THIS COMES FROM THE FATHER.
YOU HAVE BEEN USED BY THE FATHER
00:18:22.33\00:18:25.03
TO SPEAK WHAT YOU SPOKE.' AND
PETER IS LOOKING AT THE OTHER
00:18:25.07\00:18:27.80
GUYS SAYING, 'GOD JUST
SPOKE THROUGH ME, GUYS.
00:18:27.84\00:18:32.01
DID YOU CATCH THAT?
THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID.
00:18:32.04\00:18:33.64
I SPOKE UP AND GOD SPOKE THROUGH
ME.' AND SO PETER'S FEELING
00:18:33.68\00:18:37.38
PRETTY GOOD. NOW GO
DOWN TO VERSE 22 - SAME
00:18:37.41\00:18:40.35
CHAPTER, SAME
DAY, WITHIN 20 MINUTES.
00:18:40.38\00:18:45.89
JESUS THEN GOES ON, HE TELLS
THE APOSTLES, 'I'VE GOT TO GO TO
00:18:45.92\00:18:49.32
JERUSALEM. I'M
GOING TO BE BETRAYED.
00:18:49.36\00:18:51.29
I'LL BE CRUCIFIED, I'LL RISE THE
THIRD DAY.' PETER TAKES JESUS
00:18:51.33\00:18:54.46
ASIDE, HE SAYS,
'LOOK, I'M ON A ROLL HERE.
00:18:54.46\00:18:56.00
I'M INSPIRED. I
BETTER STRAIGHTEN OUT JESUS.'
00:18:56.03\00:18:57.97
HE TAKES JESUS, HE SAYS, 'LOOK,
JESUS, THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.'
00:18:58.00\00:19:00.54
HE SAID, 'THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR
YOU. FAR BE IT FROM YOU.' JESUS
00:19:00.57\00:19:03.91
TURNS TO PETER AND HE
SAID, "GET BEHIND ME, SATAN!
00:19:03.94\00:19:08.28
YOU ARE AN OFFENSE TO ME,
FOR YOU ARE NOT MINDFUL OF THE
00:19:08.31\00:19:11.35
THINGS OF GOD, BUT
THE THINGS OF MEN."
00:19:11.38\00:19:13.62
ALRIGHT, AND THIS IS A VERY
IMPORTANT POINT, HOW MANY OF YOU
00:19:13.65\00:19:16.95
WOULD WANT TO GO TO CHURCH
WHERE PETER WAS THE PASTOR?
00:19:16.99\00:19:21.76
YOU'RE NOT SO SURE BECAUSE HE,
YOU KNOW, PETER, HE COULD - ONE
00:19:21.79\00:19:24.49
MINUTE HE SAYS, 'THOUGH ALL MEN
FORSAKE YOU, I WILL NOT FORSAKE
00:19:24.53\00:19:26.90
YOU.' THEN HE
SAYS, 'I DON'T KNOW HIM.
00:19:26.93\00:19:28.40
NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.' PETER
WAS - HE DID VACILLATE A LITTLE
00:19:28.43\00:19:31.80
BIT, BUT MY POINT, I HOPE, IS
TAKEN THAT SOMETIMES WE CAN ALL
00:19:31.83\00:19:36.57
BE A LITTLE BIT LIKE PETER,
WHERE ONE MINUTE THE HOLY SPIRIT
00:19:36.60\00:19:40.34
IS SPEAKING THROUGH US AND THE
NEXT MOMENT WE'RE GROWLING LIKE
00:19:40.38\00:19:43.88
A WOLF AT OUR WIFE. ONE
MOMENT WE'RE SPIRIT-FILLED -
00:19:43.91\00:19:49.95
WE LOVE THE LORD, WE'RE SINGING
HIS PRAISE - THE NEXT MOMENT
00:19:49.98\00:19:52.09
WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF WOLF
IN US AND THE DEVIL SNEAKS INTO
00:19:52.12\00:19:55.59
CHURCH THROUGH US - THROUGH
ME. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M
00:19:55.62\00:20:02.53
NOT POINTING THE
FINGER. IT'S ALL OF US.
00:20:02.56\00:20:06.60
AND I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT A
SOLUTION FOR THAT IN A LITTLE
00:20:06.63\00:20:09.17
BIT. THE BIBLE
SAYS - ALRIGHT, YOU'VE
00:20:09.20\00:20:13.11
GOT IT CLEAR, THE DEVIL
WANTS TO INHABIT THE HOLY PLACE.
00:20:13.14\00:20:15.61
IS THAT RIGHT? >>TRUE.
00:20:15.64\00:20:17.11
>>SO ARE THERE ANY HOLY
PLACES IN THE WORLD TODAY?
00:20:17.15\00:20:21.85
AH, YOUR BODY. DON'T
YOU KNOW YOUR BODY IS
00:20:21.88\00:20:24.55
A TEMPLE OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT? ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:20:24.59\00:20:28.86
THE DEVIL IS NOT INTERESTED
IN JUST RESISTING AS MUCH AS
00:20:28.89\00:20:35.16
INFILTRATION. HE'S
NOT INTERESTED SO MUCH IN
00:20:35.20\00:20:40.70
HAUNTING HOUSES
AS HAUNTING PEOPLE.
00:20:40.74\00:20:43.37
THE BIBLE TELLS US JESUS SHARED
A PARABLE, "TWO MEN WENT UP TO
00:20:43.41\00:20:47.41
THE TEMPLE TO PRAY," - THEY'RE
BOTH GOING TO THE SAME CHURCH -
00:20:47.44\00:20:51.05
"ONE A PHARISEE AND
THE OTHER A TAX COLLECTOR.
00:20:51.08\00:20:53.72
THE PHARISEE STOOD AND HE PRAYED
THUS WITH HIMSELF," - I ALWAYS
00:20:53.75\00:20:56.62
THOUGHT THAT WAS FUNNY THE WAY
THAT'S WORDED - "GOD, I THANK
00:20:56.65\00:20:59.05
YOU THAT I'M NOT LIKE OTHER
MEN - EXTORTIONERS, UNJUST,
00:20:59.09\00:21:02.79
ADULTERERS OR EVEN
AS THIS TAX COLLECTOR.
00:21:02.82\00:21:05.29
I FAST TWICE A WEEK; I GIVE
TITHES OF ALL THAT I POSSESS."
00:21:05.33\00:21:08.60
AND HE BEGINS TO EXTOL
ALL OF HIS GOOD DEEDS FOR GOD.
00:21:08.63\00:21:12.83
WHAT SPIRIT DID
HE HAVE? IT'S PRIDE.
00:21:12.87\00:21:17.87
BUT THE PUBLICAN, WHO YOU
NORMALLY - IF YOU SAW THESE TWO
00:21:17.91\00:21:21.11
GUYS WALKING TO CHURCH AND YOU
SAY, 'WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT TO
00:21:21.14\00:21:22.88
MAKE AN ELDER?' I'D
SAY, 'LOOK AT THE PHARISEE.
00:21:22.91\00:21:24.98
HE'S VERY RELIGIOUS - VERY
CONSCIENTIOUS - HE KEEPS THE
00:21:25.01\00:21:29.52
LAW, PAYS TITHE, HE DOESN'T
CHEAT ON HIS WIFE.' SURE, WE'D
00:21:29.55\00:21:34.46
WANT TO PUT HIM IN
CHARGE OF THE CHURCH.
00:21:34.49\00:21:37.46
THAT'S WHY THE DISCIPLES VOTED
THAT JUDAS WAS THE MOST LIKELY
00:21:37.49\00:21:39.96
TO SUCCEED. IF YOU
LOOK IN THE APOSTLES
00:21:40.00\00:21:42.40
YEARBOOK, RIGHT NEXT TO
JUDAS' PICTURE THEY SAID, 'MOST
00:21:42.43\00:21:45.00
LIKELY TO
SUCCEED'. THEY WENT TO JESUS
00:21:45.03\00:21:49.20
AND SAID, 'LOOK. WE
NEED A GOOD ACCOUNTANT.
00:21:49.24\00:21:50.97
THIS GUY IS GREAT. HE'S
SMART, HE'S BRIGHT, HE'S
00:21:51.01\00:21:53.07
SHREWD - WE NEED HIM ON OUR
TEAM.' SOMETIMES MAN LOOKS ON
00:21:53.11\00:21:56.68
THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE,
GOD LOOKS ON THE HEART.
00:21:56.71\00:21:58.71
PHARISEE SAYS, 'LORD, I THANK
THEE I'M NOT LIKE OTHER PEOPLE.'
00:21:58.75\00:22:02.12
WHAT WAS HIS PROBLEM?
PRIDE. WHAT DISQUALIFIES YOU
00:22:02.15\00:22:06.45
TO BE USED OF GOD?
YOU'RE NEVER MORE LIKE THE
00:22:06.49\00:22:09.62
DEVIL THAN WHEN YOU'RE PROUD.
JESUS SAID WE NEED TO BE HUMBLE.
00:22:09.66\00:22:14.13
THE PUBLICAN, WHO YOU WOULD SAY,
'OH, PUBLIC TAX COLLECTOR, WE
00:22:14.20\00:22:17.07
DON'T WANT HIM.' HE BOWS HIS
HEAD, HE SMITES ON HIS BREAST,
00:22:17.10\00:22:21.37
HE SAYS, 'LORD HAVE MERCY
ON ME A SINNER.' AND THEN JESUS
00:22:21.40\00:22:24.21
CONCLUDES BY SAYING THE PUBLICAN
IS THE ONE THAT GOES HOME WITH
00:22:24.24\00:22:27.58
GOD, FORGIVEN. THE
PHARISEE, HE WAS SO FULL OF
00:22:27.61\00:22:32.11
HIMSELF, ON THE THRONE
OF THE PHARISEE'S HEART IS
00:22:32.15\00:22:35.98
THE PHARISEE, NOT GOD.
HE WAS WORSHIPING HIMSELF.
00:22:36.02\00:22:42.36
WE ALL HAVE A
LITTLE OF BOTH INSIDE.
00:22:42.39\00:22:45.89
SO HOW DOES THE
DEVIL COME TO CHURCH?
00:22:45.93\00:22:47.40
WELL, SOMETIMES HE COMES IN
US. SO, WHEN WE COME TO CHURCH,
00:22:47.46\00:22:52.23
DO WE GO TO
UPLIFT OUR OWN GOODNESS?
00:22:52.27\00:22:55.27
THE DEVIL LOVES WHEN WE DO THAT.
00:22:55.30\00:22:56.94
DO WE BECOME PREOCCUPIED WITH
HOW OTHERS HAVE SLIGHTED US OR
00:22:56.97\00:23:00.14
THEY HAVE OFFENDED US OR
THEY DON'T APPRECIATE US?
00:23:00.18\00:23:03.35
WE GET ENGAGED IN GOSSIP.
WHEN WE'RE SINGING THE SONGS,
00:23:03.38\00:23:07.78
ARE OUR HEARTS INVOLVED IN
SINGING? ARE WE WORSHIPING?
00:23:07.82\00:23:12.55
ARE WE MUMBLING THROUGH THE
WORDS FROM MEMORY WHILE WE'RE
00:23:12.59\00:23:14.89
REALLY THINKING
ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?
00:23:14.92\00:23:18.23
SOMETIMES THE DEVIL CAN COME AND
HE JUST DISTRACTS US FROM WHAT
00:23:18.26\00:23:21.60
GOD MIGHT WANT TO SAY.
NOW, I TOLD YOU THAT WE ARE
00:23:21.63\00:23:25.10
TEMPLES, BUT THE
BIBLE ALSO TELLS US THAT
00:23:25.13\00:23:28.67
JESUS WAS A
TEMPLE. JESUS SAID THAT.
00:23:28.70\00:23:33.01
HAVE YOU READ IN JOHN 2, VERSE
19, "JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID TO
00:23:33.04\00:23:37.28
THEM, 'DESTROY THIS TEMPLE, AND
IN THREE DAYS I WILL RAISE IT
00:23:37.31\00:23:41.15
UP.'" BUT HE WAS SPEAKING OF THE
TEMPLE OF HIS BODY, IT SAYS IN
00:23:41.18\00:23:44.82
VERSE 21. MORE THAN
ANYTHING - MORE THAN
00:23:44.85\00:23:49.26
COMING INTO OUR CHURCHES OR
GETTING INTO OUR HEADS, WHAT THE
00:23:49.29\00:23:52.49
DEVIL WANTED TO GET
INTO WAS INTO CHRIST.
00:23:52.53\00:23:55.23
ALL THROUGH HIS LIFE, THE DEVIL
DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO MAKE
00:23:55.26\00:23:59.33
CHRIST LOSE HIS COOL, LOSE HIS
SANCTIFICATION, GET UPSET - TO
00:23:59.37\00:24:05.41
SIN - AND THE TEMPLE OF CHRIST
THE DEVIL COULDN'T GET IN.
00:24:05.44\00:24:13.05
AND BECAUSE HE COULDN'T GET IN,
HE DID EVERYTHING HE COULD IN
00:24:13.08\00:24:16.32
ANGER TO DESTROY IT.
IT'S LIKE BANK ROBBERS THAT GO
00:24:16.35\00:24:19.32
TO A BANK AND THEY TRY TO GET IN
THE VAULT AND THEY CAN'T BREAK
00:24:19.35\00:24:22.62
INTO THE VAULT AND THEY'RE
SO MAD, ON THEIR WAY OUT, THEY
00:24:22.66\00:24:25.86
START SHOOTING THE PLACE UP
BECAUSE THEY'RE INFURIATED THAT
00:24:25.89\00:24:30.13
THEY CAN'T GET TO THAT WHICH
THEY WANTED. LOOK AT WHAT THE
00:24:30.17\00:24:34.77
DEVIL DID TO JESUS' BODY.
HE TRIED TO GET JESUS TO LOSE
00:24:34.80\00:24:37.91
HIS TEMPER; CHRIST WAS WHIPPED,
HE WAS SPAT ON, HE WAS PUNCHED,
00:24:37.94\00:24:44.38
HE WAS PIERCED, HE WAS CURSED.
THE DEVIL THREW EVERYTHING HE
00:24:44.41\00:24:48.65
COULD AT HIM TO TRY TO
GET INSIDE AND HE COULDN'T.
00:24:48.68\00:24:52.15
CHRIST SAID - IF YOU DOUBT ME
- JOHN 14:30 - HE SAID, 'I CAN'T
00:24:52.19\00:24:57.86
TALK WITH YOU NOW FOR THE RULER
OF THIS WORLD IS COMING' - AND
00:24:57.89\00:25:01.10
CATCH THIS - 'HE HAS NOTHING IN
ME.' 'HE HAS NO FOOTHOLD IN ME.
00:25:01.13\00:25:07.80
HE CAN'T GET INSIDE ME.'
THE SOUL OF CHRIST WAS AN
00:25:07.84\00:25:11.74
IMPREGNABLE FORTRESS. NOW,
WHAT JESUS HAD HE OFFERS YOU.
00:25:11.77\00:25:17.31
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW THAT
YOUR SOUL COULD BE PROTECTED?
00:25:17.35\00:25:20.08
>>AMEN. >>DON'T
YOU WANT TO HAVE A
00:25:20.12\00:25:21.72
CHURCH WHERE WE'RE
ALL LED OF THE SPIRIT?
00:25:21.75\00:25:26.15
THE REASON PAUL WARNED US, HE
SAID, 'IN THE LAST DAYS WOLVES
00:25:26.19\00:25:31.49
WILL RISE UP, NOT SPARING THE
FLOCK.' I THINK WE'RE LIVING IN
00:25:31.53\00:25:35.50
THOSE DAYS, NOT ONLY WITH ALL
THE VARIOUS DOCTRINES OF DEVILS
00:25:35.53\00:25:39.27
AND WINDS OF HERESY THAT ARE
BLOWING AROUND, NOT JUST IN THE
00:25:39.30\00:25:43.20
WORLD WITH GOOFY PASTORS THAT
SAY THE DEVIL WANTS YOU TO KEEP
00:25:43.24\00:25:47.71
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF BIZARRE
00:25:47.74\00:25:50.31
THEOLOGY OUT THERE BUT, EVEN
WITHIN OUR OWN CHURCH THE WOLF
00:25:50.35\00:25:54.52
NIBBLES ON THE
EDGES AND TRIES TO GET IN.
00:25:54.55\00:25:57.39
I HOPE ALL OF US ARE IN THE
WORD, BECAUSE IT'S THE WORD OF
00:25:57.42\00:26:00.29
GOD THAT IS GOING
TO BE OUR FORTRESS.
00:26:00.32\00:26:01.99
JESUS IS THE WORD, AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:26:02.02\00:26:04.49
>>HOW DO YOU
GET RID OF DARKNESS?
00:26:04.53\00:26:07.10
YOU INTRODUCE THE LIGHT.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO SAY, 'WELL,
00:26:07.13\00:26:11.50
WE GO TO CHURCH.' THE PEOPLE WHO
CRUCIFIED JESUS WENT TO CHURCH.
00:26:11.53\00:26:15.00
MATTER OF FACT, THEY WANTED HIS
BODY TAKEN OFF THE CROSS SO THEY
00:26:15.04\00:26:17.91
COULD HURRY HOME
AND KEEP THE SABBATH.
00:26:17.94\00:26:20.94
SO IT'S GOOD THAT YOU'RE A
SABBATH KEEPER, BUT THAT BY
00:26:20.98\00:26:23.51
ITSELF DOESN'T SAVE US. WE
NEED TO HAVE - OUR HEARTS AND
00:26:23.55\00:26:26.61
MINDS AND SOULS NEED TO BE
THE ABIDING PLACE OF CHRIST.
00:26:26.65\00:26:30.75
YOU KNOW WHAT KEEPS THE
WOLF AWAY? A GOOD SHEPHERD.
00:26:30.79\00:26:35.39
AND, IF JESUS, AS THE BIBLE
SAYS, IF HE IS THE SHEPHERD OF
00:26:35.42\00:26:39.46
YOUR SOULS, THEN YOU
HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
00:26:39.49\00:26:43.87
