A. 00:04:33.67\00:04:36.71 I said to Danny, and also to Jim, 00:04:36.72\00:04:38.52 my only problem is what to leave out. 00:04:38.53\00:04:41.10 And I believe that in the course of the next 00:04:41.85\00:04:44.23 four more nights, we'll be able to, 00:04:44.24\00:04:48.94 I believe do more than justice to the topic of 00:04:48.95\00:04:51.88 how Satan is so masterfully hiding 00:04:51.89\00:04:56.61 his tactics to deceive not just the world 00:04:57.17\00:05:00.22 which he has already deceived, 00:05:00.23\00:05:01.64 but now he's masking his tactics to even 00:05:01.65\00:05:04.52 draw in Christians in the last days. 00:05:04.53\00:05:06.24 So, I want to really impress upon you to 00:05:06.25\00:05:10.45 pray continually and for those of you watching 00:05:10.46\00:05:13.07 invite your friends if you have the chance 00:05:13.08\00:05:14.55 to record it, record it and share 00:05:14.56\00:05:16.13 with other people. But tonight's topic is 00:05:16.14\00:05:18.42 entitled the "Revealing" and we begin at 00:05:18.43\00:05:21.92 7 pm Central, don't forget tomorrow night 00:05:21.93\00:05:24.37 is 8 pm Central. It's not the same time, 00:05:24.38\00:05:27.46 tomorrow night's topic is entitled 00:05:27.47\00:05:29.81 "It did not come from God" very profound 00:05:29.82\00:05:32.97 where did this come from? We know 00:05:32.98\00:05:34.37 the answer, but is more informative 00:05:34.38\00:05:37.16 than just saying it came from the devil. 00:05:37.17\00:05:38.69 Then Friday night you do not want to miss 00:05:39.67\00:05:42.62 Friday night, it is entitled 00:05:42.63\00:05:45.46 "Mixed Messages" as I study into the movements 00:05:45.47\00:05:49.30 of the occult and how Satan has for the last 00:05:49.31\00:05:51.57 6,000 years tested his theories 00:05:51.58\00:05:55.13 and his methods. It is amazing how much 00:05:55.14\00:05:58.11 he has hidden through mixed signals, 00:05:58.12\00:06:01.42 Friday night you really don't wanna miss it, 00:06:01.43\00:06:03.98 he has so put it together that 00:06:03.99\00:06:06.45 it appears so Christian, that it could be 00:06:06.46\00:06:09.67 slid under your door, under the guise of 00:06:09.68\00:06:12.83 Christianity and be fully welcome. 00:06:12.84\00:06:14.66 You don't wanna miss Friday night 00:06:14.67\00:06:16.29 "Mixed Signals" then on Saturday morning, 00:06:16.30\00:06:19.46 Sabbath morning as we would call it, 00:06:19.47\00:06:21.14 is entitled "The Walk of Fame", why do people 00:06:22.01\00:06:25.39 want the walk of fame so much, what is there 00:06:25.40\00:06:27.51 about fame that will make a person walk away 00:06:27.52\00:06:30.28 from eternal life. We're gonna talk about 00:06:30.29\00:06:31.70 the walk of fame, how it's being repackaged 00:06:31.71\00:06:34.25 and young people are dying today 00:06:34.26\00:06:36.15 to be famous. Well, I wanna just say this, 00:06:36.16\00:06:39.02 God has not called us to be famous, 00:06:39.03\00:06:40.83 God has called us to be faithful, 00:06:40.84\00:06:42.53 can you say amen? How did those, 00:06:42.54\00:06:45.45 those two F's get switched, 00:06:45.46\00:06:47.66 famous and faithful? And then we're gonna end 00:06:47.67\00:06:51.65 with a very profound look into a term that is 00:06:51.66\00:06:54.06 often associated with Christianity 00:06:54.07\00:06:56.81 when you meet somebody and you say 00:06:56.82\00:06:58.33 I'm born again, somebody else may say 00:06:58.34\00:07:00.50 well I'm born again too. Well Satan has 00:07:00.51\00:07:02.60 an entirely different meaning for the 00:07:02.61\00:07:04.71 phrase born again. Lot of people 00:07:04.72\00:07:07.57 that are in the music industry 00:07:07.58\00:07:08.66 they say they pray, they say 00:07:08.67\00:07:10.35 they have a relationship with God, 00:07:10.36\00:07:11.70 but the question is what God 00:07:11.71\00:07:13.14 and are they born again and if they're 00:07:13.76\00:07:15.33 born again into what, and in their legions 00:07:15.34\00:07:18.41 to whom, so really invite your friends 00:07:18.42\00:07:21.16 to watch this I would say, I've done a lot of 00:07:21.17\00:07:23.85 series here at 3ABN and around the world, 00:07:23.86\00:07:26.68 but I would say this is probably the one that 00:07:26.69\00:07:28.42 is really pulled the most out of me. 00:07:28.43\00:07:30.45 It is one that has demanded me to take 00:07:30.46\00:07:32.50 my time, it is one that kind of like following 00:07:32.51\00:07:35.90 a groundhog down his hole you go down there 00:07:35.91\00:07:39.84 and discover that you ask yourself 00:07:39.85\00:07:41.78 is there anyway out, because you discover 00:07:41.79\00:07:44.23 that below the surface there are so many 00:07:44.24\00:07:45.89 different directions you can go. 00:07:45.90\00:07:47.30 This subject has so many different directions; 00:07:47.85\00:07:51.37 I've decided to choose as many as I could, 00:07:51.38\00:07:54.49 and I'm gonna make a statement that 00:07:54.50\00:07:56.31 may hold me accountable, I'm also planning by 00:07:56.32\00:07:59.33 God's grace to put this in a book, 00:07:59.34\00:08:01.40 in a more lengthy process, because I know 00:08:01.41\00:08:04.10 many of you may hear things 00:08:04.11\00:08:06.01 and not be able to grasp at the first time 00:08:06.02\00:08:08.27 through, but pray how that's going to happen. 00:08:08.28\00:08:11.52 I don't even know whether resources 00:08:11.53\00:08:12.83 is gonna come from, but I believe 00:08:12.84\00:08:14.70 and God has continually impresses me through 00:08:14.71\00:08:16.39 many people to put this in a book. 00:08:16.40\00:08:18.12 So, I'll try to do my best to add 00:08:18.13\00:08:20.49 to clarifying what we need to understand 00:08:20.50\00:08:23.04 about these last days. But tonight as I begin 00:08:23.05\00:08:26.11 I wanna ask God to pray, I know that 00:08:26.12\00:08:27.98 Pastor Jim Gilley has already prayed, 00:08:27.99\00:08:29.99 but I need God to lead my mind, 00:08:30.00\00:08:32.37 I need God to anoint my mind, 00:08:32.38\00:08:33.72 I need God's direction, this is a very powerful 00:08:34.53\00:08:37.50 as well as very solid message, 00:08:37.51\00:08:40.27 so let's bow our heads together. 00:08:40.28\00:08:42.22 Gracious Father in Heaven, thank you 00:08:42.97\00:08:45.14 so much for the opportunity, 00:08:45.15\00:08:46.43 it's one that I don't wanna waste on humanity, 00:08:46.44\00:08:49.12 that means I don't wanna waste it on 00:08:50.32\00:08:51.78 what I'm able to do. Father I want this to be 00:08:51.79\00:08:55.60 under your control, I wanna completely yield 00:08:55.61\00:08:58.08 myself to the power that you desire to flow 00:08:58.09\00:09:01.27 through me. Lord tonight as there are 00:09:01.28\00:09:04.56 millions around the world on a 00:09:04.57\00:09:06.06 different path other than the one 00:09:06.07\00:09:07.74 you've outlined, we pray that you'll guide 00:09:07.75\00:09:10.11 their hearts and minds to through this 00:09:10.12\00:09:11.88 presentation, and in the end may we not forget 00:09:11.89\00:09:15.45 Jesus in your name, I pray amen. 00:09:15.46\00:09:20.85 When I was in the 3rd grade in P.S 3 in 00:09:22.43\00:09:24.90 New York City, if you're in Brooklyn you know 00:09:24.91\00:09:27.66 exactly what I'm talking about is right there on, 00:09:27.67\00:09:29.41 on the corner of Franklin and Hancock, 00:09:29.42\00:09:31.87 one block away from Franklin 00:09:31.88\00:09:33.84 and Fulton street right there in 00:09:33.85\00:09:34.83 Brooklyn New York still standing 00:09:34.84\00:09:36.48 to this very day. I remember Karen going 00:09:36.49\00:09:39.51 to an assembly remember those days in school 00:09:39.52\00:09:41.88 when you went to assembly was 00:09:41.89\00:09:43.75 once a week when all the school got together for 00:09:43.76\00:09:45.71 assembly in the school auditorium. 00:09:45.72\00:09:48.12 Well, they showed a movie that I'd never 00:09:48.82\00:09:51.18 seen before and I'd never seen it since, 00:09:51.19\00:09:53.55 it was a short piece called 00:09:53.56\00:09:55.58 The Pied Piper of Hamelin. And I never 00:09:55.59\00:09:59.47 forget this because it was based on the subject 00:09:59.48\00:10:02.02 of a legend concerning the departure 00:10:02.03\00:10:04.97 or death of a great number of children 00:10:04.98\00:10:08.42 from the town of Hamelin, Germany, 00:10:08.43\00:10:10.20 this happened according to the folklore 00:10:10.90\00:10:13.08 in the Middle Ages. But the pied piper, 00:10:13.09\00:10:17.59 the reason why he was called the pied piper, 00:10:17.60\00:10:19.90 it was a term meaning the covertly 00:10:19.91\00:10:22.10 dressed piper. His clothing was 00:10:22.11\00:10:25.01 attractive also; he had two things that 00:10:25.02\00:10:28.11 attracted the young people, 00:10:28.12\00:10:29.28 the way he dressed and his music, 00:10:29.29\00:10:31.72 adornment and the song he play, 00:10:32.45\00:10:34.87 so he was called The Pied Piper of Hamelin, 00:10:35.50\00:10:38.57 leading children away from Hamelin, Germany, 00:10:38.58\00:10:40.70 and this children never returned. 00:10:40.71\00:10:42.66 Years later the story took on a 00:10:42.67\00:10:45.02 different note, it is said that in the town of 00:10:45.03\00:10:48.22 Hamelin people were concerned about 00:10:48.23\00:10:50.02 how to get rid of their rats, 00:10:50.03\00:10:51.80 and so they hired the Pied Piper of Hamelin 00:10:51.81\00:10:53.91 to play music and the music was so enchanting 00:10:53.92\00:10:56.95 that the rats followed him all the way down 00:10:56.96\00:10:59.27 to the rivers of Germany and they all drowned. 00:10:59.28\00:11:02.05 But the true story is when the citizenry 00:11:03.43\00:11:06.51 of that town refused to pay the Pied Piper 00:11:06.52\00:11:09.08 for his service of getting rid of the rats, 00:11:09.09\00:11:10.91 he retaliated by using his abilities to lead 00:11:10.92\00:11:15.15 their children away, turning his magic 00:11:15.16\00:11:18.26 on the, on the towns children leading them 00:11:18.27\00:11:21.45 away and never again were these children 00:11:21.46\00:11:25.54 seen by their parents in the town of Hamelin. 00:11:25.55\00:11:28.32 Well, tonight friends let me just say 00:11:28.33\00:11:30.09 to this way, he accomplished 00:11:30.10\00:11:32.75 it by playing a song; he accomplished it 00:11:32.76\00:11:35.98 by the way he presented himself, 00:11:35.99\00:11:38.41 he played a song that they followed 00:11:39.00\00:11:41.24 to their demise. The Pied Piper of Hamelin 00:11:41.25\00:11:45.19 is alive today through none other 00:11:45.20\00:11:49.18 than the working of Satan himself. 00:11:49.19\00:11:51.68 And there is an entire industry playing 00:11:51.69\00:11:54.65 the songs that will accomplish the same 00:11:54.66\00:11:57.45 purpose that the pied piper of Hamelin played. 00:11:57.46\00:12:00.03 Tonight I wanna go to the screen 00:12:00.85\00:12:02.27 and I wanna give you the, the foundational 00:12:02.28\00:12:04.62 scripture for tonight's presentation entitled 00:12:04.63\00:12:06.55 the "Revealing" the first in the 00:12:06.56\00:12:09.07 five part series on the "Revealing", 00:12:09.08\00:12:11.68 on "Unclean Spirits". Revelation 16 verse 13 00:12:11.69\00:12:15.23 and 14 we just follows and follow me 00:12:15.24\00:12:17.68 as it appears in the graphic. 00:12:17.69\00:12:19.47 I saw three unclean spirits like frogs 00:12:20.31\00:12:24.39 coming out of the mouth of the dragon, 00:12:24.40\00:12:27.00 out of the mouth of the beast, 00:12:27.01\00:12:29.12 and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 00:12:29.13\00:12:31.65 For they are spirits of what friends, 00:12:32.51\00:12:35.13 demons performing signs, which go out 00:12:35.14\00:12:39.62 to the kings of the earth and of the 00:12:39.63\00:12:41.69 whole world to gather them to the battle 00:12:41.70\00:12:45.25 of the great day of God Almighty. 00:12:45.26\00:12:48.16 Satan write as we sit here tonight 00:12:48.17\00:12:51.06 and all of his spirits are joined together 00:12:51.85\00:12:56.59 in gathering the world for this final battle, 00:12:57.35\00:13:00.34 the battle of Armageddon, 00:13:00.35\00:13:01.80 the great day of God Almighty. 00:13:02.56\00:13:04.83 And so friends we are locked out, 00:13:05.64\00:13:07.26 we are locked in an all out war against 00:13:07.27\00:13:10.80 the forces of darkness. Our children are 00:13:10.81\00:13:13.48 becoming victims of the forces of hell, 00:13:13.49\00:13:15.45 their minds are stolen, their consensus 00:13:15.46\00:13:20.08 under assault, there is an increase 00:13:20.09\00:13:22.73 if you notice it in the wearing of 00:13:22.74\00:13:24.33 black God's clothing, painting 00:13:24.34\00:13:27.48 finger nails black, wearing crosses is also 00:13:27.49\00:13:31.06 becoming the focus of the day. 00:13:31.07\00:13:32.40 We see a lot of music artists in the 00:13:32.41\00:13:34.40 secular industries wearing the cross 00:13:34.41\00:13:35.77 and we say they must be Christians, 00:13:35.78\00:13:37.21 there's a different message altogether 00:13:37.22\00:13:38.95 behind that. I'll talk about that later on 00:13:38.96\00:13:40.98 in the series, but you have to ask yourself 00:13:40.99\00:13:43.40 the questions what would make a young person 00:13:43.41\00:13:46.41 get to the point where he can take the life of 00:13:46.42\00:13:48.33 another individual and not even blink an eye. 00:13:48.34\00:13:51.07 What do you think is contributed to 00:13:52.30\00:13:53.81 school shootings, children that threatened 00:13:53.82\00:13:56.17 their parents with bodily harm 00:13:56.18\00:13:57.68 and all out defines of authority, 00:13:57.69\00:14:01.05 the entertainment, the music, 00:14:01.06\00:14:03.03 the movie industry? How do you think the minds 00:14:03.04\00:14:06.22 of the young are being hijacked? 00:14:06.23\00:14:07.89 What do you think the rise in promiscuity is 00:14:08.65\00:14:11.06 coming from, and sexual perversion among 00:14:11.07\00:14:13.82 the young, people calling themselves 00:14:13.83\00:14:15.92 technical virgins to continue 00:14:15.93\00:14:18.69 and attract that is dishonoring to God. 00:14:18.70\00:14:20.87 What do you think all the self-abuse 00:14:21.71\00:14:23.23 and cutting of one flesh is coming from? 00:14:23.24\00:14:25.12 There is an influence that is gripping 00:14:25.13\00:14:28.57 the minds of the young so much, 00:14:28.58\00:14:30.45 so that sometimes you may take your children 00:14:30.46\00:14:32.96 somewhere to somebody's house 00:14:32.97\00:14:34.14 and when they get there they say things like 00:14:34.15\00:14:36.04 I'm bored have you heard that before? 00:14:36.05\00:14:37.57 We are living among one of the most bored 00:14:37.58\00:14:40.79 generations, one of the most disconnected 00:14:40.80\00:14:43.92 generations as a matter of fact many families 00:14:43.93\00:14:46.31 get together for dinner at night, 00:14:46.32\00:14:47.61 and their children sit at the table almost 00:14:47.62\00:14:51.03 totally disconnected from their parents why? 00:14:51.04\00:14:53.16 Because they spend their times with all the media 00:14:53.17\00:14:56.13 devices texting and they live their days 00:14:56.14\00:15:00.15 with the earphones plugged into their ears, 00:15:00.16\00:15:02.37 and in their rooms they have their own internet 00:15:02.38\00:15:04.88 connection and they have their own televisions, 00:15:04.89\00:15:07.14 they are so shaped by what's coming from 00:15:07.15\00:15:10.15 the outside that when their parents 00:15:10.16\00:15:12.28 get together and talk with them, 00:15:12.29\00:15:13.46 all they could say is I'm bored, 00:15:13.47\00:15:15.34 they are thrilled to death, 00:15:15.93\00:15:18.58 Satan is behind that industry, 00:15:19.34\00:15:22.33 why do you think that the music industry 00:15:23.84\00:15:26.29 has a primary attraction to the degradation 00:15:26.30\00:15:29.55 of women, the fascination with 00:15:29.56\00:15:31.56 vampires and even in the afterlife, 00:15:31.57\00:15:35.04 what do you think that's coming from? 00:15:35.05\00:15:36.32 Satan is packaging things that he has 00:15:36.33\00:15:39.52 tested for 6,000 years; let me ask you 00:15:39.53\00:15:42.71 a question how evil can you be? 00:15:42.72\00:15:44.93 If you had 6,000 years to develop 00:15:46.19\00:15:48.46 and test every form of evil, how deceptive 00:15:48.47\00:15:52.26 can you get? If you've had 6,000 years 00:15:52.27\00:15:55.83 of people of every class, of every 00:15:55.84\00:15:58.40 educational level, of every walk of life 00:15:58.41\00:16:01.58 the famous and the poor, the wealthy, 00:16:01.59\00:16:04.03 the highly educated, the professors of grand 00:16:04.04\00:16:06.40 universities, how good would you be, 00:16:06.41\00:16:09.15 if there were your test subjects for 6,000 years 00:16:09.16\00:16:13.30 the minds of every person ever born, 00:16:13.31\00:16:15.71 how good would you be today after 6,000 years? 00:16:15.72\00:16:19.12 Well, friends the best way I can describe 00:16:19.13\00:16:20.93 this generation is found in 2 Corinthians 00:16:20.94\00:16:22.92 chapter 4 in verse 4 and I want you to follow me 00:16:22.93\00:16:25.65 very carefully those of you who are watching 00:16:25.66\00:16:27.22 because tonight what I want to do you know 00:16:27.23\00:16:29.75 this is called the Anchors of Truth. 00:16:29.76\00:16:31.83 I wanna begin by anchoring this series 00:16:31.84\00:16:35.02 squarely on the word of God, can you say amen 00:16:35.03\00:16:37.73 to that? We've got to have a foundation 00:16:37.74\00:16:40.00 it's got to be the word of God, 00:16:40.01\00:16:41.75 Paul the Apostle describes clearly 00:16:41.76\00:16:44.28 what's happened to this generation, 00:16:44.29\00:16:45.52 follow me 2 Corinthians chapter 4 in verse 4. 00:16:46.17\00:16:48.69 He says speaking of the, of the audience 00:16:48.70\00:16:51.93 of the world today, he says: 00:16:51.94\00:16:54.35 Whose minds the God of what age? 00:16:54.36\00:16:57.77 Of this age has blinded, who do not believe, 00:16:57.78\00:17:02.76 and here's the reason why the Satan 00:17:02.77\00:17:04.44 has done this, lest the light of the gospel 00:17:04.45\00:17:07.72 of the glory of God, who is the image of God, 00:17:07.73\00:17:10.93 should shine on them. Now, before we just 00:17:10.94\00:17:15.84 attached that just to world think about 00:17:15.85\00:17:17.86 that last church of the seven, 00:17:17.87\00:17:19.97 one of the conditions is wretched, miserable, 00:17:19.98\00:17:23.76 poor, common say the next one blind. 00:17:23.77\00:17:27.30 Satan has even found a way to blind the church 00:17:27.31\00:17:31.64 not just the Seventh-day Adventist church, 00:17:31.65\00:17:33.86 every church because the on slot is not against 00:17:33.87\00:17:37.27 one church, but against every institution 00:17:37.28\00:17:40.56 of morality. Now, be with me if I get a 00:17:40.57\00:17:44.05 little serious, I'll be little light hearted 00:17:44.06\00:17:45.64 later on but I got to get very serious 00:17:45.65\00:17:47.08 in the very beginning, is that alright. 00:17:47.09\00:17:48.41 It would be one thing though if I was just 00:17:49.87\00:17:52.10 talking about the world, but the church 00:17:52.11\00:17:54.45 is under attack. Satan already has the world, 00:17:54.46\00:17:58.24 he has already got those who don't want 00:17:59.18\00:18:02.11 anything with the Jesus, that's why today 00:18:02.12\00:18:04.40 when I go to church as my wife 00:18:04.41\00:18:05.46 and I travel all around the world, 00:18:05.47\00:18:06.67 we go to different cultures 00:18:06.68\00:18:07.78 and different societies and different countries, 00:18:07.79\00:18:09.80 and one of the things that I've seen that 00:18:09.81\00:18:12.35 has been so instrumental that Satan has 00:18:12.36\00:18:14.41 accomplished very effectively is this. 00:18:14.42\00:18:16.58 I've notice that young people today 00:18:16.59\00:18:19.59 don't dress like they have a connection 00:18:20.16\00:18:22.17 with the God, and the question is why? 00:18:22.18\00:18:24.76 Where is the influence coming from? 00:18:24.77\00:18:26.61 And I will suggest you that Satan has worked 00:18:26.62\00:18:28.83 on that for more than 6,000 years. 00:18:28.84\00:18:31.02 Have you noticed the first thing that 00:18:31.03\00:18:32.76 happened to Eve when she sin is what 00:18:32.77\00:18:34.50 happened? She lost the glorious 00:18:34.51\00:18:36.49 covering of God, and she put on goat skins, 00:18:36.50\00:18:39.49 the Bible says she put on a skirt. 00:18:39.50\00:18:42.30 But the Lord had to cover her completely 00:18:43.83\00:18:46.59 with his garment of righteousness. 00:18:46.60\00:18:48.02 Even in that area Satan has been effective 00:18:48.03\00:18:51.11 and he's continuing to be effective, 00:18:51.12\00:18:53.16 but there is also something else happening 00:18:53.17\00:18:55.38 in the world today as well as in the church. 00:18:55.39\00:18:57.34 There is a decline in interest in 00:18:57.35\00:18:59.55 spiritual things among many in the church, 00:18:59.56\00:19:01.30 that can be trace back to the entertainers 00:19:01.31\00:19:04.08 that they idolize, think about that, 00:19:04.09\00:19:07.51 they wanna be like the people 00:19:08.41\00:19:09.61 they see in moves, they wanna be like 00:19:09.62\00:19:10.85 Angelina Jolie and all these famous 00:19:10.86\00:19:12.68 individuals that cover up their darkness 00:19:12.69\00:19:15.25 with all these humanitarian acts 00:19:15.26\00:19:17.28 of kindness. I can't be all bad 00:19:17.29\00:19:19.75 but that's the principle of yin and the yang, 00:19:19.76\00:19:21.93 good and bad mixed together. 00:19:21.94\00:19:23.81 Something that I do will attract you to be 00:19:23.82\00:19:25.81 what I am going to be, that's happening 00:19:25.82\00:19:28.19 in the church today. And if you realize 00:19:28.20\00:19:30.03 that the world is a theater that has taken 00:19:30.04\00:19:31.94 Satan 6,000 years to construct. 00:19:31.95\00:19:34.44 And everyone is sitting down waiting 00:19:34.45\00:19:36.85 for the show to begin, his blueprints includes 00:19:36.86\00:19:39.93 features that were light years 00:19:39.94\00:19:42.42 ahead of his time. In another words 00:19:42.43\00:19:44.53 the strategies and tools that we are just 00:19:44.96\00:19:47.30 beginning to notice were in production for 00:19:47.31\00:19:49.28 thousands of years. You know, if I had 00:19:49.29\00:19:52.42 6,000 years to move a toothpick from that 00:19:52.43\00:19:54.44 end of the stage to that end, I would 00:19:54.45\00:19:56.67 suggest you, you wouldn't even see 00:19:56.68\00:19:58.02 it moves from day to day. You wouldn't even 00:19:58.03\00:20:00.48 notice it, that's how Satan works, 00:20:00.49\00:20:02.48 he works imperceptibly and sometimes you think 00:20:02.49\00:20:05.75 our minds are completely guarded against 00:20:05.76\00:20:08.01 what he does, but friends only by 00:20:08.02\00:20:09.77 the infilling of God's Spirit can we be saved, 00:20:09.78\00:20:12.02 what do you say? It's not enough to be empty; 00:20:12.03\00:20:14.28 we've got to be filled by the Spirit of God, 00:20:14.29\00:20:16.34 if we're empty, if we just talk about 00:20:16.35\00:20:18.47 the things that we've overcome 00:20:18.48\00:20:19.45 and not been filled by God spirit, 00:20:19.46\00:20:21.03 we are empty and Satan can come in with 00:20:21.04\00:20:23.34 seven more demons worse than the 00:20:23.35\00:20:25.49 first time around. But the real reason why 00:20:25.50\00:20:29.07 there's such a high rate of satanic success 00:20:29.08\00:20:31.30 can be found in the mission statement 00:20:31.31\00:20:34.12 of the CEO of darkness. Look at Isaiah 14 00:20:34.13\00:20:38.09 in verse 14 and see what he says, 00:20:38.10\00:20:39.72 Isaiah says it this way Lucifer said: 00:20:39.73\00:20:43.30 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; 00:20:43.31\00:20:48.18 I will be what is the next word, 00:20:48.19\00:20:50.61 like the Most High. In another words 00:20:50.62\00:20:53.48 according to Satan's plan the worship 00:20:53.49\00:20:55.76 that belongs to God alone will be 00:20:55.77\00:20:58.23 directed to Satan. If you've ever been do 00:20:58.24\00:21:01.06 a concert before lot of people called a 00:21:01.07\00:21:02.97 musical concert, well Satan calls 00:21:02.98\00:21:04.76 that a worship service. Don't we come to 00:21:04.77\00:21:06.90 church to sing and in some church they come 00:21:06.91\00:21:09.72 and raise their hands and they get all excited 00:21:09.73\00:21:11.41 about what is happening upfront. 00:21:11.42\00:21:13.16 Well, that is the opposite to the church, 00:21:13.17\00:21:16.31 the churches what God has revealed, 00:21:16.32\00:21:18.23 the concerts of what Satan has revealed. 00:21:18.24\00:21:21.09 And people you know what amazes me, 00:21:21.10\00:21:23.43 in church people look for the back row, 00:21:23.44\00:21:26.21 in concerts people rushed to the front row. 00:21:26.22\00:21:29.28 It shows you how even in the minds of some 00:21:29.87\00:21:32.58 Christians, Satan has found someway 00:21:32.59\00:21:36.84 to get in road. He said I'll be like 00:21:36.85\00:21:39.62 the Most High, he didn't say I would be the 00:21:39.63\00:21:42.22 Most High, he said I would be like 00:21:42.23\00:21:44.24 the Most High. In another words 00:21:44.25\00:21:45.49 I will so closely connect what I do to 00:21:45.50\00:21:48.09 Christianity that you'll get to the place 00:21:48.10\00:21:50.05 where the godly and the profane are 00:21:50.06\00:21:52.13 hardly able to be separated, 00:21:52.14\00:21:54.82 and you'll see tomorrow night exactly 00:21:55.66\00:21:57.76 how that's happening. Nowadays you see 00:21:57.77\00:22:00.70 the reason why Satan has so distorted what 00:22:00.71\00:22:02.62 God has done Satan cannot create, he 00:22:02.63\00:22:05.08 cannot create human beings but what he can 00:22:05.09\00:22:07.01 do is corrupt what God has created, that's 00:22:07.02\00:22:10.03 why sexual immorality is as rampant today 00:22:10.04\00:22:13.19 in the church as it is in the world. In some 00:22:13.20\00:22:17.22 walks of society as the matter of fact I did 00:22:17.23\00:22:19.31 some studies on this and found out that 00:22:19.32\00:22:22.05 in the Bible Belt. I want you to in, in the 00:22:22.06\00:22:24.85 Bible Belt, homosexuality is as 00:22:24.86\00:22:28.79 rampant as it is in some major cities, 00:22:28.80\00:22:31.37 in major churches among choir leaders, 00:22:31.38\00:22:34.40 and choir directors, and people that sing 00:22:34.41\00:22:36.49 godly songs promiscuity and darkness in the 00:22:36.50\00:22:40.27 areas of sexuality pervade the Christian 00:22:40.28\00:22:42.68 community how? Because Satan has a found 00:22:42.69\00:22:45.37 a way in their too, even the message that can 00:22:45.38\00:22:49.93 be employed, every device that he can use 00:22:49.94\00:22:52.74 Satan has invented to lead humanity to be 00:22:52.75\00:22:57.65 disloyal to God, you think about it. 00:22:57.66\00:23:00.41 I remember one Sabbath as I was pastoring 00:23:00.42\00:23:02.86 the church in California a young man was 00:23:02.87\00:23:04.16 standing in the foyer and he had his headsets 00:23:04.17\00:23:06.72 in and I thought oh great listening to some 00:23:06.73\00:23:09.44 Christian music waiting for Sabbath school. 00:23:09.45\00:23:11.13 Until I walked by him and I thought 00:23:11.14\00:23:13.55 it was so loud it was about to blow my 00:23:13.56\00:23:15.44 head off, and so I stop and say what are you 00:23:15.45\00:23:18.69 listening to, it was some hip-hop rap music 00:23:18.70\00:23:22.05 and he's leaning against the wall in the foyer 00:23:22.06\00:23:24.60 of the church getting his mind ready for the 00:23:24.61\00:23:27.08 sermon. Was that he was doing? That's why 00:23:27.09\00:23:31.76 they sit in church sometimes and fall 00:23:31.77\00:23:33.05 asleep, because the minds of so many are 00:23:33.06\00:23:36.30 so distorted, its like spider web after spider 00:23:36.31\00:23:39.59 web after spider web after spider you can't 00:23:39.60\00:23:41.44 even see the window on the other side. 00:23:41.57\00:23:42.83 That's what the Bible means when it says, 00:23:43.92\00:23:45.50 the snare of the fowler, the bird can see the 00:23:45.51\00:23:49.20 web that's being weaved for its 00:23:49.21\00:23:50.99 destruction, so they fly right into it to snare 00:23:51.00\00:23:53.86 of the fowler. But his most affective method 00:23:53.87\00:24:00.29 is one that he had from the day he was 00:24:00.30\00:24:03.12 created, listen to Ezekiel follow me 00:24:03.13\00:24:05.49 carefully tonight, look at that screen 00:24:05.50\00:24:07.07 Ezekiel chapter 28 verse 13 is where I'm headed. 00:24:07.08\00:24:10.70 This is amazing the method he uses today 00:24:10.71\00:24:13.32 he has for thousands of years. The Bible says: 00:24:13.33\00:24:17.54 You were in Eden, the garden of God; 00:24:17.55\00:24:20.32 Every precious stone was your covering: 00:24:20.33\00:24:23.48 The sardius, topaz, and the diamond, 00:24:23.49\00:24:26.29 the beryl, the onyx, and jasper, sapphire, 00:24:26.30\00:24:29.05 turquoise and emerald with gold, and then 00:24:29.06\00:24:31.56 he says, the workmanship of your timbrels, 00:24:31.57\00:24:34.35 your timbrels a musical instrument and pipes 00:24:34.36\00:24:37.18 was prepared for you on the day you 00:24:37.19\00:24:40.23 were created. Now, get this very carefully, 00:24:40.24\00:24:43.00 the name Lucifer was revoked, but his 00:24:43.95\00:24:47.25 musical ability was not revoked. The name 00:24:47.26\00:24:50.50 Lucifer was revoked, but that glorious 00:24:50.51\00:24:54.10 outward adorning that he had was not revoked. 00:24:54.11\00:24:56.97 He still has this glory that's why Paul the 00:24:56.98\00:24:59.33 Apostle says he appears as an angel of light. 00:24:59.34\00:25:01.61 Ellen White tells us that when he came to 00:25:01.62\00:25:03.16 Christ in the wilderness he appear as the 00:25:03.17\00:25:05.10 beautiful prince. He didn't come as a red 00:25:05.11\00:25:07.69 outfit horn dressing demon that's what 00:25:07.70\00:25:11.48 the world has done to make us think that Satan 00:25:11.49\00:25:13.61 doesn't come in other forms, in other 00:25:13.62\00:25:14.97 fashions. And so he has now wrapped himself 00:25:14.98\00:25:17.14 in various other ways through music and 00:25:17.15\00:25:19.66 entertainment that seem on the surface 00:25:19.67\00:25:21.98 innocent, I'm gonna let's talk about that. 00:25:21.99\00:25:23.65 Tonight I'm laying a foundation but I don't 00:25:23.87\00:25:25.99 want you to miss tomorrow night, you 00:25:26.00\00:25:27.51 cannot effort to miss Friday night, and you 00:25:27.52\00:25:29.95 don't wanna miss anything after tonight, 00:25:29.96\00:25:31.13 so if you're gonna miss any night it should 00:25:31.14\00:25:32.35 been tonight. An old evangelistic right, 00:25:32.36\00:25:36.40 but the truth of the matter is if you wanna 00:25:36.41\00:25:39.26 miss any night, it should been tonight, 00:25:39.27\00:25:40.74 tomorrow night I'm gonna say to you hold down 00:25:40.75\00:25:43.13 to your seats, put your seatbelts on, because 00:25:43.14\00:25:45.60 we're gonna begin to unpack this thing 00:25:45.61\00:25:47.13 in very strategic ways. Remember the name 00:25:47.14\00:25:50.74 Lucifer means day or morning star and Job 00:25:50.75\00:25:53.23 talks about a time when the morning stars 00:25:53.24\00:25:55.75 sing together. Have you ever thought about that, 00:25:55.76\00:25:58.22 the one that played the music for the morning 00:25:58.23\00:26:00.21 stars of the angel to sing together was 00:26:00.22\00:26:02.20 none other than Lucifer? He's been a musician 00:26:02.21\00:26:05.71 from the very beginning, the very talent that 00:26:05.72\00:26:08.52 God had given to him, the very gift that 00:26:08.53\00:26:10.62 God gave to him. When his heart was filled 00:26:10.63\00:26:13.18 with piper himself, he used for his own glory. 00:26:13.19\00:26:16.14 I know a lot of friends raised in the church; 00:26:16.15\00:26:18.73 sing very well. As a matter of fact a lot of 00:26:18.74\00:26:21.26 the people in the gospel industry started in 00:26:21.27\00:26:23.47 the church. I don't want to name, the names 00:26:23.48\00:26:27.06 but let me just say Aretha Franklin for 00:26:27.50\00:26:29.53 example Whitney Houston, a good friend of mine 00:26:29.54\00:26:33.45 I won't mention his name because we are; 00:26:33.46\00:26:34.88 you know we know each other so well. 00:26:34.89\00:26:36.54 But there are lot of people they began in 00:26:36.55\00:26:39.17 the church, but they are now singing for 00:26:39.18\00:26:42.11 the world. The deceptive power of music is so 00:26:42.12\00:26:48.15 amazing, for example when you sing amazing 00:26:48.16\00:26:52.80 grace just recently my wife and I were 00:26:52.81\00:26:54.53 in Zimbabwe, Africa, and they were singing 00:26:54.54\00:26:56.59 hymns that we didn't know what they were 00:26:56.60\00:26:58.27 singing, but you know how we understood it, 00:26:58.28\00:27:00.04 by the music they were singing something 00:27:00.05\00:27:03.28 completely different, they were singing 00:27:03.29\00:27:04.94 something in the Zimbabwean language 00:27:04.95\00:27:06.47 which we identified as amazing grace, so 00:27:06.48\00:27:08.63 here we were in this big outside series of 00:27:08.64\00:27:11.49 meetings and we were singing amazing grace 00:27:11.50\00:27:13.94 in English, they were singing amazing grace 00:27:13.95\00:27:15.76 in their tongue. It was not what we were 00:27:15.77\00:27:18.04 singing that connected us, but it was the 00:27:18.05\00:27:20.35 music, music crosses cultural lines, 00:27:20.36\00:27:24.77 that's why when you go to music stores and 00:27:24.78\00:27:27.64 entertainment places, you go to malls, 00:27:27.65\00:27:30.29 and stores, and restaurants, and every 00:27:30.30\00:27:32.05 other public place, they have music playing, 00:27:32.06\00:27:34.21 because they know that music opens the 00:27:34.22\00:27:36.30 door to influence you to do what you don't 00:27:36.31\00:27:38.82 plan on doing. If you go to Walmart and plan 00:27:38.83\00:27:41.37 to get just get a loaf of bread and come out 00:27:41.38\00:27:43.10 with $75 worth of stuff, because you walk into 00:27:43.11\00:27:47.58 the mall and they have so studied the way 00:27:47.59\00:27:49.67 you think these are advertises, they have so 00:27:49.68\00:27:52.31 studied the way you think, that you can't 00:27:52.32\00:27:55.20 even stand at the checkout counter without 00:27:55.21\00:27:57.13 being bombarded with magazines to one side 00:27:57.14\00:27:58.98 and gum and Mennen and all the other things 00:27:58.99\00:28:02.06 to the next side and the latest news on whatever 00:28:02.07\00:28:05.64 the gossip columns are and the astrology 00:28:05.65\00:28:08.63 magazines all around you there's a voice calling 00:28:08.64\00:28:11.61 out don't forget me, what about me do you 00:28:11.62\00:28:13.70 need some gum, what about mouth wash? 00:28:13.71\00:28:15.78 You can't even get pass the checkout without 00:28:16.87\00:28:19.45 these voices screaming out you, you almost 00:28:19.46\00:28:21.42 have to go to straight and I'm sure many 00:28:21.43\00:28:23.10 of you just like me, you get to the counter and 00:28:23.11\00:28:26.25 you don't really need it but you just see it 00:28:26.26\00:28:27.45 and say maybe I need a stick of gum, am I 00:28:27.46\00:28:30.06 telling true. In that advertises that are just 00:28:30.07\00:28:33.28 about the same age as many of us can do that 00:28:33.29\00:28:35.25 what do you think Satan can do? Who's been 00:28:35.26\00:28:38.46 studying in the laboratory of the human 00:28:38.47\00:28:40.98 mind for 6,000 years? He has seen what worked 00:28:40.99\00:28:44.92 and what didn't worked; they say one of the 00:28:44.93\00:28:48.37 first steps of success is finding out what 00:28:48.38\00:28:50.53 doesn't work and not do it. Satan's been doing 00:28:50.54\00:28:54.39 that for 6,000 years, that's why when you 00:28:54.40\00:28:58.45 go to sporting events and you hear dumb, dumb, 00:28:58.46\00:29:01.10 dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, what do you think 00:29:01.11\00:29:03.83 it's time to standup, its the last two 00:29:03.84\00:29:06.10 minutes in the football game, last few seconds 00:29:06.11\00:29:08.13 in the basketball game dhan, dhan, dhan, dhan, 00:29:08.14\00:29:10.10 dhan, dhan, am I telling the truth and the heart 00:29:10.11\00:29:12.29 begins to pickup, and all of a sudden but then 00:29:12.30\00:29:14.60 all that you could leave that and cross the 00:29:14.61\00:29:16.14 street and go to a funeral parlor and get 00:29:16.15\00:29:18.01 sad. In the matter of minutes why, the organs, 00:29:18.02\00:29:25.97 the music changes the moods when you go to 00:29:25.98\00:29:28.28 the horse race, everybody stands up 00:29:28.29\00:29:31.41 looking for their horse. The music we don't 00:29:31.42\00:29:34.43 even know what that sound means do we, 00:29:34.44\00:29:36.72 we just connected to horse races, but you go 00:29:36.73\00:29:39.66 to the amusement parks as soon as you walk 00:29:39.67\00:29:41.57 into Disney world, it's the small world, you go 00:29:41.58\00:29:45.01 home humming that for the next four days, 00:29:45.02\00:29:46.78 because the music comes in without your 00:29:47.91\00:29:50.41 permission, the cartoon age remembers the 00:29:50.42\00:29:52.60 Flintstone, meet the Flintstones, you could 00:29:52.61\00:29:55.81 even sing the words with me, but you not, 00:29:55.82\00:29:57.81 you would not remember the words without 00:29:57.82\00:29:59.64 even the music. And then some of you wouldn't' 00:29:59.65\00:30:02.75 even know your ABC's unless it had music 00:30:02.76\00:30:04.53 connected to it. Batman, and you can see, 00:30:04.54\00:30:10.90 you can see it in your mind, you can see 00:30:10.91\00:30:12.57 Batman in, the joker, robin flipping over the 00:30:12.58\00:30:15.87 table, am I telling the truth. And then all of a 00:30:15.88\00:30:20.77 sudden, they're creepy and they're kooky, 00:30:20.78\00:30:23.51 Mysterious common whom I talking about, 00:30:24.08\00:30:26.06 the Addams Family, there's you go, you 00:30:26.07\00:30:28.33 remember the tones and by the way many if you 00:30:28.34\00:30:30.71 don't know it but one of the key character 00:30:30.72\00:30:32.37 was Uncle Festers I will talk about this later on. 00:30:32.38\00:30:34.30 Uncle Festers was an icon for man that I'm 00:30:34.31\00:30:38.12 gonna talk about tomorrow night. 00:30:38.13\00:30:39.46 Even in the three stooges, they had 00:30:40.01\00:30:42.04 one of the, curly the guy he didn't have 00:30:42.05\00:30:43.53 any hair, he was also an icon for this occultic 00:30:43.54\00:30:46.29 symbol that I'm gonna introduce you tomorrow 00:30:46.60\00:30:48.40 night.

It decides 00:30:54.82\00:30:57.01 how you feel and what you think, it can 00:30:57.02\00:30:59.73 awaken a love sick feeling, or it can remind 00:30:59.74\00:31:03.23 you of traumatic memories. I had lady 00:31:03.24\00:31:06.57 in one of my churches, every Sabbath I would 00:31:06.58\00:31:09.39 end the sermon with the song "God Be with You 00:31:09.40\00:31:11.77 Till We Meet Again" beautiful hymn am 00:31:11.78\00:31:14.54 I right. One day she said pastor please do 00:31:14.55\00:31:16.84 not play that ever again, and I notice now 00:31:16.85\00:31:20.94 is not rock music that wasn't the reason. 00:31:20.95\00:31:23.12 But she said to me it reminds me of the day 00:31:23.75\00:31:26.67 my husband left me when he was walking out 00:31:26.68\00:31:28.56 the door he said to her God be with you till 00:31:28.57\00:31:31.06 we meet again, so even that song reminded 00:31:31.07\00:31:35.80 her one of the most traumatic experiences 00:31:35.81\00:31:37.66 in her life, but that's what music can do. 00:31:37.67\00:31:39.26 Satan knows that, Satan understands that, 00:31:40.07\00:31:43.26 music can put you into a trance; a music can 00:31:43.27\00:31:46.49 frighten the wits out of you. What I was 00:31:46.50\00:31:48.62 going to do which I decided not to do 00:31:48.63\00:31:50.33 because of the interest of time, I was gonna 00:31:50.34\00:31:51.95 show you two simple video clips, both of 00:31:51.96\00:31:53.76 them pictures of a ocean, now I'm not gonna 00:31:53.80\00:31:55.26 do that, but you know you hear an ocean; 00:31:55.27\00:31:57.25 you hear soft piano playing in the 00:31:57.26\00:31:58.52 background and all of the sudden you 00:31:58.53\00:31:59.65 get relaxed. But you see the same ocean 00:31:59.66\00:32:02.12 seen all of a sudden hear dhun, dhun, dhun, dhun, 00:32:02.13\00:32:04.66 dhun, dhun, dhun, you think a shark is gonna 00:32:04.67\00:32:06.94 come out of the water. Same ocean nothing 00:32:06.95\00:32:09.33 has change if you go to the beach and 00:32:09.34\00:32:11.00 somebody in the background plays, dhun, 00:32:11.01\00:32:12.45 dhun, dhun, dhun, dhun, dhun, dhun, you won't 00:32:12.46\00:32:15.60 even go on the water am I telling you the truth, 00:32:15.61\00:32:17.21 because all of the sudden you remember 00:32:17.22\00:32:18.63 the movie Jaws is not, you don't even know 00:32:18.64\00:32:21.32 what the shark looks like but the movie unlocks 00:32:21.33\00:32:23.33 fear in your life. You pack up your bikini suit 00:32:23.34\00:32:25.91 and you head back home, because the music has 00:32:25.92\00:32:28.92 done that, Satan knows how to do it. But listen 00:32:28.93\00:32:32.82 to what Ellen White says this is an amazing 00:32:32.83\00:32:34.35 quotation from the book Adventist Home, I 00:32:34.36\00:32:36.78 thought this is fitting for the topic tonight, 00:32:36.79\00:32:38.63 to lay the foundation, listen to what she says? 00:32:38.64\00:32:40.56 Adventist Home page 407 paragraph 3 she says. 00:32:40.57\00:32:44.27 I feel alarmed as I witness everywhere the 00:32:44.28\00:32:48.28 frivolity of young men and young women who 00:32:48.29\00:32:50.86 profess to believe the truth. God does not 00:32:50.87\00:32:54.58 seem to be in their thoughts. Their minds 00:32:54.59\00:32:56.75 are filled with what, nonsense. Their 00:32:56.76\00:33:00.40 conversation is only empty, vain talk. 00:33:00.41\00:33:03.39 They have a keen ear for music, listen to this 00:33:03.40\00:33:06.28 and Satan knows what organs to excite to 00:33:06.29\00:33:09.94 animate, and engross, and charm the mind so 00:33:09.95\00:33:14.62 that Christ is not desired. 00:33:14.63\00:33:17.38 You see what happen is by entertaining what 00:33:19.58\00:33:23.19 Satan said Eve was charmed away, as Ellen 00:33:23.20\00:33:28.81 White says that Eve was charmed away from 00:33:28.94\00:33:32.17 obedience. How was she charmed by the lyrics 00:33:32.18\00:33:36.85 slash words that Satan chose? Today if you 00:33:36.86\00:33:41.11 take the music away its words, if you add music 00:33:41.12\00:33:43.52 to it, its now lyrics, but it's the very same 00:33:43.53\00:33:45.96 thing. Satan has added music to words, 00:33:45.97\00:33:49.37 we call it lyrics, and today he has wrapped 00:33:49.38\00:33:51.65 his messages in songs on CD's, songs in movies 00:33:51.66\00:33:54.71 and brethren I'm gonna so unwrap this starting 00:33:54.72\00:33:57.83 tomorrow night, that I encourage you to invite 00:33:57.84\00:34:00.93 somebody else to sit down and watch this with 00:34:00.94\00:34:02.88 you because I'm literally going to take 00:34:02.89\00:34:04.59 off tomorrow night. I remember working in New 00:34:04.60\00:34:07.05 York City for paid advertising agency, 00:34:07.06\00:34:09.21 advertising agency and I remember one the super 00:34:09.22\00:34:12.27 ball was coming around advertises paid millions 00:34:12.28\00:34:15.20 of dollars for 15 to 30 second slot, you know 00:34:15.21\00:34:17.83 why, because that's all the time they needed to 00:34:17.84\00:34:20.82 get you to associate their product with the 00:34:20.83\00:34:23.49 music that they played in the background, 00:34:23.50\00:34:24.88 just 15 seconds and you walk into the store, 00:34:26.26\00:34:29.21 now and the other thing is what on earth does 00:34:29.22\00:34:31.08 a woman have to do with the John Deere tractor, 00:34:31.09\00:34:33.17 common somebody help me. Now in southern 00:34:33.18\00:34:35.44 Illinois maybe a whole lot okay, but Satan has 00:34:35.45\00:34:40.48 sound the art of getting you to think longer than 00:34:40.49\00:34:43.03 you need to on things that you don't even 00:34:43.04\00:34:45.92 need to consider. He's done that strategically 00:34:45.93\00:34:49.23 and so they pay 2 million, 3 million 00:34:49.24\00:34:51.97 dollars, so that a particular product 00:34:51.98\00:34:54.20 can be associated with a particular song, 00:34:54.21\00:34:56.57 and you go in the store and the moment you 00:34:56.58\00:34:58.85 see that product you remember the song. 00:34:58.86\00:35:01.20 That's why sometimes we wonder why we think 00:35:04.74\00:35:07.14 the way we do, the lyrics of the song introduced 00:35:07.15\00:35:10.54 into the mind is the door that opens up to mind. 00:35:10.55\00:35:13.53 Follow me carefully, the lyrics develop the 00:35:13.54\00:35:16.07 thoughts, the thoughts shape the individual, 00:35:16.08\00:35:19.36 so people would say things nowadays, or 00:35:20.94\00:35:24.04 think things nowadays, I used to be in the disc 00:35:24.05\00:35:26.77 jockey industry, I was a party, you believe me 00:35:26.78\00:35:28.57 party personified I'd, I would be in the party 00:35:28.58\00:35:31.56 so long sometimes. I could fall asleep in 00:35:31.57\00:35:33.79 front of a loud speaker, because my mind was 00:35:33.80\00:35:37.45 so desentized to what was happening around 00:35:37.46\00:35:39.52 me. And nowadays you go down the street 00:35:39.53\00:35:41.55 and some of these cities you pull next to a car 00:35:41.56\00:35:42.99 and you can't wait till the light turns green 00:35:43.00\00:35:45.63 because your car is about to be blown apart 00:35:45.64\00:35:47.44 by the speakers in the other guys car. 00:35:47.45\00:35:49.11 And you wonder how he is still alive you know 00:35:49.12\00:35:51.61 what I'm talking about, the base is so loud 00:35:51.83\00:35:55.43 I'm thinking, I've also the follow the study 00:35:55.44\00:35:57.22 that says a lot of young people below the age 00:35:57.23\00:36:00.48 of 20 years old are having hearing issues. 00:36:00.49\00:36:04.77 There are some cases where some young people 00:36:04.78\00:36:07.58 came to emergency rooms with their ears 00:36:07.59\00:36:10.46 bleeding, because of the depth and the sub base 00:36:10.47\00:36:15.25 that was in the backseat in somebody's car that 00:36:15.26\00:36:18.07 they were driving in, bleeding ears, but 00:36:18.08\00:36:22.05 there's, but there's another side to that, 00:36:22.06\00:36:23.73 some young people can hear things that grown 00:36:23.74\00:36:26.08 ups cannot hear, ring tones that they cannot 00:36:26.09\00:36:29.53 hear, ring tones that are too high for the 00:36:29.54\00:36:31.95 older folk to hear. And so they set their phones 00:36:31.96\00:36:34.93 when they go to school on this ring tone 00:36:34.94\00:36:36.46 that the teacher can't hear, but the students 00:36:36.47\00:36:38.94 can hear it. But what you don't know is in the 00:36:38.95\00:36:42.39 very music that some of us listen too, 00:36:42.40\00:36:44.34 in the very music that many young people by 00:36:44.35\00:36:47.27 listen to me very carefully. And I'll talk 00:36:47.28\00:36:50.11 about this and I'll show you the various ways 00:36:50.12\00:36:51.68 this is actually happening, there are 00:36:51.69\00:36:53.36 frequencies that are embedded in many of the 00:36:53.37\00:36:56.58 songs that you can audibly hear, but those 00:36:56.59\00:36:59.30 frequencies that you cannot hear the mind 00:36:59.31\00:37:01.33 can hear it, following those frequencies are 00:37:01.34\00:37:05.50 suggestive words in the lyrics that will break 00:37:05.51\00:37:08.85 down your resistance to do the things that 00:37:08.86\00:37:12.15 you would never ever thing of doing normally. 00:37:12.16\00:37:14.66 It's called mind control, I'm gonna talk 00:37:15.47\00:37:16.68 about that how these, how these tactics of 00:37:16.69\00:37:19.35 mind control have been assimilated into every 00:37:19.36\00:37:22.08 facet of the industry, even in churches, 00:37:22.09\00:37:26.73 it's amazing how it's happening. But when you 00:37:26.74\00:37:30.39 go back to it you understand what, 00:37:30.40\00:37:32.23 what the wise man said when he wrote in 00:37:32.24\00:37:34.58 Proverbs 23 verse 7 look at this very short 00:37:34.59\00:37:37.14 text and I want you to read this with me if you 00:37:37.15\00:37:38.86 follow me just sit in your home, here's what 00:37:38.87\00:37:40.82 the Bible says: For as he thinks in his heart, 00:37:40.83\00:37:44.46 what does it say, so is he. So, let's go 00:37:44.47\00:37:48.11 backward, a person becomes what they think; 00:37:48.12\00:37:52.77 your thought determines who the person is, 00:37:54.10\00:37:57.23 so you mean to tell me that you could listen 00:37:57.24\00:37:59.72 to worldly stuff six days a week and be a 00:37:59.73\00:38:02.52 Christian on the Sabbath. You mean 00:38:02.53\00:38:04.91 to tell me that you could listen to music 00:38:04.92\00:38:06.26 that doesn't honor God and all of the sudden 00:38:06.27\00:38:08.10 you want to honor God when you come to church, 00:38:08.11\00:38:09.82 no, you can't. Some people go to sleep with 00:38:09.83\00:38:12.65 music, as matter of fact sometimes I remember 00:38:12.66\00:38:14.79 going to work when I use to work in the Wall 00:38:14.80\00:38:17.31 Street area and I would take the train to work 00:38:17.32\00:38:19.26 in New York City, I would always turn the 00:38:19.27\00:38:21.23 radio on in the morning and do you know 00:38:21.24\00:38:22.96 the last song I heard was the one I hummed 00:38:22.97\00:38:24.82 all day long, you know what I'm talking about, 00:38:24.83\00:38:27.21 that's why it's even important if you're 00:38:27.22\00:38:29.40 gonna choose music to wake up by, choose music 00:38:29.41\00:38:32.11 that you don't mind humming when you get to 00:38:32.12\00:38:34.04 work. Go to work singing songs like I'm saving 00:38:34.05\00:38:38.62 all my love for you and you are married. 00:38:38.63\00:38:40.14 Whitney Houston, Billy Paul, lot of these songs 00:38:41.55\00:38:44.75 are, are put to such beautiful tones and such 00:38:44.76\00:38:48.04 beautiful music that it doesn't even catch your 00:38:48.05\00:38:51.24 attention until you realize what you're 00:38:51.25\00:38:53.11 saying. But the music opens the door and 00:38:53.12\00:38:55.73 you start singing songs and all of the sudden 00:38:55.74\00:38:57.68 you realize you're talking about just 00:38:57.69\00:38:59.25 killing somebody, promiscuity, lying, 00:38:59.26\00:39:03.14 you know, you've got your family and they, 00:39:03.15\00:39:05.68 they need you there as Whitney Houston saying, 00:39:05.69\00:39:07.63 but I try to resist being last on your list 00:39:07.64\00:39:10.66 but no other man can do, she's talking about 00:39:10.67\00:39:12.31 somebody married to another women and we've 00:39:12.32\00:39:15.26 go on saving all my love, the music get you 00:39:15.27\00:39:20.75 to say you what you would not normally say 00:39:20.76\00:39:23.63 under well thought out circumstances. But what 00:39:23.64\00:39:28.51 you have to keep in mind is that the tools and 00:39:28.52\00:39:30.59 methods of assault will first use on perfect 00:39:30.60\00:39:33.59 angels, but what was the result look at 00:39:33.60\00:39:36.21 Revelation 12 and verse 4. Tonight I say again 00:39:36.22\00:39:39.47 is the night to base everything on the Bible, 00:39:39.48\00:39:41.97 Revelation 12 verse 4 says: His tail drew a 00:39:41.98\00:39:46.05 what, third of the stars of heaven and threw 00:39:46.28\00:39:49.13 them to the earth. Satan tried it out first 00:39:49.14\00:39:52.36 on his own friends. He tried it out on the 00:39:52.37\00:39:56.12 people that he worked with. Hey let me see 00:39:56.13\00:39:58.85 if its gonna work and he went from angel to 00:39:58.86\00:40:00.52 angel and when he was done one third of 00:40:00.53\00:40:02.81 the angels were expelled from heaven, 00:40:02.82\00:40:04.77 because Satan tried out something that worked, 00:40:04.78\00:40:07.02 he say it works, so he got down to the 00:40:07.03\00:40:09.94 Garden of Eden that's why when you look 00:40:09.95\00:40:12.59 about the, his tail drew a third of the stars 00:40:12.60\00:40:17.13 of heaven. When you think about that word 00:40:17.14\00:40:18.61 stars the entertainment industry is full of 00:40:18.62\00:40:21.96 stars, matter of fact the best you can get 00:40:21.97\00:40:25.14 is the star on the Hollywood walk of fame 00:40:25.15\00:40:28.53 where dogs can walk pass and defecate and 00:40:28.54\00:40:30.84 people spit on and the rain falls down and 00:40:30.85\00:40:33.21 cigar butts crushed on that's not the star, 00:40:33.22\00:40:35.71 well I wanna star in heaven what 00:40:35.72\00:40:36.96 about you, amen. But the best the world can 00:40:36.97\00:40:38.95 give is a star on the street somewhere. 00:40:38.96\00:40:41.45 Stars the very thing that Satan caused to be 00:40:44.01\00:40:47.33 kicked out of heaven is the very thing he offers 00:40:47.34\00:40:49.39 you now, you wanna be a star that mean 00:40:49.40\00:40:51.42 anything because that he got kicked out of heaven 00:40:51.43\00:40:53.08 you can go back in being star, what good is it? 00:40:53.09\00:40:55.65 Then he tried that down on to perfect 00:40:56.99\00:40:58.86 individuals, follow the thought perfect angels 00:40:58.87\00:41:01.46 they fell, perfect individual what 00:41:01.47\00:41:03.32 happened to them, they fall. Romans 3 00:41:03.33\00:41:06.45 verse 23 says: For all have sinned and do 00:41:06.46\00:41:09.40 what, fall short of the glory of God. When you 00:41:09.41\00:41:13.13 follow the manifest of the occult movement, 00:41:13.14\00:41:15.28 You will find out that it was born in Eden, 00:41:15.29\00:41:18.38 it was born in the garden, it was 00:41:18.39\00:41:21.04 first tried out in a perfect environment. 00:41:21.05\00:41:23.51 If it could work in heaven, can it work on 00:41:23.52\00:41:25.98 earth? Of course it can it, in imperfect in every 00:41:25.99\00:41:30.33 respect environment, but a being that has not 00:41:30.34\00:41:33.02 forgotten how to use his tools. That's why at the 00:41:33.03\00:41:36.65 top of the list of the methods use by the 00:41:36.66\00:41:38.33 occult movement is mental programming 00:41:38.34\00:41:41.44 and hidden attacks. You see by entertaining 00:41:41.45\00:41:45.64 what Satan said Eve was get this now a different 00:41:45.65\00:41:48.91 approach to this, Eve was programmed to 00:41:48.92\00:41:52.40 think opposite to what she knew was right. 00:41:52.41\00:41:55.04 And he did that by not being honest and by 00:41:56.73\00:41:59.95 the way the word occult, which I'm gonna talk 00:41:59.96\00:42:02.80 about a whole lot starting tomorrow night, 00:42:02.81\00:42:04.71 occult is the Latin word for occultus meaning 00:42:04.72\00:42:08.75 to conceal, to hide, or simply eclipse, have 00:42:08.76\00:42:14.50 you heard that term before somewhere? 00:42:14.51\00:42:16.28 There's a whole new series now called 00:42:16.29\00:42:19.48 eclipse about vampires, what's eclipse? Satan, 00:42:19.49\00:42:23.69 you see all these young beautiful ladies and 00:42:23.70\00:42:26.26 young sizzle guys and you wanna be like them 00:42:26.27\00:42:29.19 stars, but get this friend, the truth has 00:42:29.20\00:42:31.68 been eclipsed. Vampires, there are lot of people 00:42:31.69\00:42:35.29 nowadays even young people talking about 00:42:35.30\00:42:36.64 experimenting or having friends, you 00:42:36.65\00:42:39.02 know if I drink your blood you drink my blood 00:42:39.03\00:42:40.56 we are vampire friends, it's happening today. 00:42:40.57\00:42:43.46 Who's molding their minds not God, he shed 00:42:43.47\00:42:47.99 his blood, we don't have to shed ours, what 00:42:48.00\00:42:49.44 do you say? Something else how effective 00:42:49.47\00:42:54.74 was Satan's assault against Eve, notice what 00:42:54.75\00:42:57.14 she says in Genesis 3 in verse 13 here's her 00:42:57.15\00:42:59.38 testimony. And this is what a perfect woman 00:42:59.39\00:43:02.14 said, she said: The woman said, "The serpent 00:43:02.15\00:43:05.02 deceived me, and did I do? And I ate. 00:43:05.03\00:43:07.95 And Revelation continues Revelation 12 and 00:43:07.96\00:43:11.01 verse 9: He did it on the woman then led 00:43:11.02\00:43:14.04 Adam and Eve down the wrong path, Adam 00:43:14.05\00:43:16.52 was one that when in with his eyes right open 00:43:16.53\00:43:19.01 Eve also choose to go down the path of 00:43:19.02\00:43:20.93 disobedience, but here's the plan he has for 00:43:20.94\00:43:23.43 today. Revelation 12 and verse 9: So the great 00:43:23.44\00:43:27.50 dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, 00:43:27.51\00:43:32.28 called the Devil and Satan, who deceives 00:43:32.29\00:43:35.07 how much of the world? The whole world; he 00:43:35.08\00:43:38.21 was cast to the earth, and his angels were 00:43:38.22\00:43:41.04 cast out with him. And then you continue 00:43:41.05\00:43:44.13 following whether or not is working, one of the 00:43:44.14\00:43:46.13 first signs Jesus warned against as it pertains 00:43:46.14\00:43:49.35 to the end. Now we had lot of earthquakes, 00:43:49.36\00:43:51.65 New Zealand just recently, now this 00:43:51.66\00:43:53.85 one in Japan a terrible earthquake, keep 00:43:53.86\00:43:55.90 praying for them. But that's not what Jesus 00:43:55.91\00:43:58.08 warned about when it pertain to the end, 00:43:58.09\00:44:01.05 in Matthew 24 verse 3 and 4 they came to Jesus 00:44:01.06\00:44:03.90 and said to him: "What will be the sign of 00:44:03.91\00:44:06.03 Your coming, and of the end of the age?" 00:44:06.04\00:44:07.70 And Jesus said to his disciples what did he 00:44:07.71\00:44:10.67 say? "Take heed that no one what, deceives you. 00:44:10.68\00:44:15.51 We are living in the age of deception, and by 00:44:15.52\00:44:19.06 the way when I look at these friends, 00:44:19.07\00:44:20.43 I'm beginning to believe that people like to be 00:44:20.44\00:44:23.04 deceived. I mean how many movies have 00:44:23.05\00:44:26.57 you seen an act to kill this one, he is another 00:44:26.70\00:44:28.53 one he get killed, that one hit another one, 00:44:28.54\00:44:30.25 we've been so molded by things that are not 00:44:30.26\00:44:33.18 real that we are getting prepared for the most 00:44:33.39\00:44:36.59 unreal, real thing that will ever occur to 00:44:36.60\00:44:38.83 humanity, the appearing of the false Christ, 00:44:38.84\00:44:42.93 unreal in the sense that he's not really Christ, 00:44:42.94\00:44:45.56 but real in the sense that it is the grand 00:44:45.57\00:44:47.81 delusion. We are so molded by things that 00:44:47.82\00:44:50.92 are not real that we are you don't even 00:44:50.93\00:44:53.28 move with, with sympathy when we hear 30,000 00:44:53.29\00:44:56.14 people died in this recent earthquake. We say 00:44:56.15\00:44:57.94 oh that's so sad and we go on like nothing has 00:44:57.95\00:45:00.11 happened, because we see earthquakes all 00:45:00.12\00:45:02.23 around us. We hear about people being shot, 00:45:02.24\00:45:04.77 what we think about gangster rap where 00:45:04.78\00:45:07.82 shooting and killing is glorified, I'll talk 00:45:07.83\00:45:10.33 about that the hip hop industry and the rock 00:45:10.34\00:45:12.56 industry, I'll talk about that starting 00:45:12.57\00:45:14.73 tomorrow night. You see Satan has, has 00:45:14.74\00:45:18.03 so worked his art that deception today 00:45:18.04\00:45:21.26 is at all time high. Well here are some 00:45:21.27\00:45:23.99 questions as I begin to wind down for tonight, 00:45:24.00\00:45:25.95 three questions, what did Satan promised 00:45:25.96\00:45:29.42 Eve, in another words where did he meet her? 00:45:29.43\00:45:31.51 He met her at the tree of the knowledge 00:45:31.52\00:45:33.33 of what? Good and evil, get this when good 00:45:33.34\00:45:36.51 and evil are the very same intersection 00:45:36.52\00:45:39.44 and both are used at the very same time 00:45:39.45\00:45:41.51 that's the highest form of deception, 00:45:41.52\00:45:43.71 because something truth, something is true 00:45:43.72\00:45:46.40 about it but something is false about it, 00:45:46.41\00:45:48.35 evil and good merged together, it's 00:45:48.36\00:45:51.95 blended that's what called the amalgamation 00:45:51.96\00:45:54.01 of good and evil. It brings out one product 00:45:54.02\00:45:57.23 and alloy really called deception. What that he 00:45:57.24\00:46:00.59 promised follow this carefully because it is 00:46:00.60\00:46:02.37 the foundation? He said to Eve, your eyes 00:46:02.38\00:46:06.35 will be what, opened, in another words he 00:46:06.36\00:46:09.30 promised Eve enlightenment, he said 00:46:09.31\00:46:11.46 to her you'll see more than God permits. 00:46:11.47\00:46:14.61 Now get this, how many things have you see 00:46:16.08\00:46:17.95 that you wish you never saw raise your hands? 00:46:17.96\00:46:20.00 You can't get it out of your mind, that's one 00:46:21.02\00:46:23.62 of the reasons why my wife and I have 00:46:23.63\00:46:24.90 complete, we don't, we don't watch those scary 00:46:24.91\00:46:26.34 movies you know why, because we live in the 00:46:26.35\00:46:27.55 country, and there is enough dark outside, 00:46:27.56\00:46:30.70 amen somebody. But if you put that stuff in 00:46:30.71\00:46:33.57 your mind it becomes your own worst enemy, 00:46:33.58\00:46:35.83 you are molded in the wrong direction. 00:46:35.84\00:46:38.70 There is something else he did, and by the way 00:46:38.71\00:46:41.21 when he talks about your eyes will be open, 00:46:41.22\00:46:42.93 Satan has built an entire industry on this, 00:46:42.94\00:46:46.08 an industry of illumination called the 00:46:46.09\00:46:49.49 illuminati. And something else that 00:46:49.50\00:46:51.58 you may not have heard about before, 00:46:51.59\00:46:52.94 he is also based an industry on something 00:46:52.95\00:46:55.26 called the third eye. You got two he had it 00:46:55.27\00:46:58.76 one more, we will talk about that as this 00:46:58.77\00:47:00.59 series continues to progress. But he also 00:47:00.60\00:47:02.77 promised something else, he said you'll be 00:47:02.78\00:47:04.68 like God, he didn't say you'll be God, he 00:47:04.69\00:47:07.62 just say you'll be like God. In another words 00:47:07.63\00:47:09.74 instead of only God being worship, I also 00:47:09.75\00:47:12.22 work about that people will worship you, and 00:47:12.23\00:47:15.00 you can't convince me that actors are not 00:47:15.01\00:47:16.47 being worshiped and music icons are not 00:47:16.48\00:47:18.70 being worshiped. What will take a person to 00:47:18.71\00:47:20.76 crying to the point where they lose consciousness 00:47:20.77\00:47:23.31 just by seeing somebody step out on a stage? 00:47:23.32\00:47:25.76 That's the lowest form of worship, worshiping 00:47:25.77\00:47:30.39 a man, worshiping a single woman, worshiping 00:47:30.40\00:47:33.21 an icon, one woman could stand in the stadium 00:47:33.22\00:47:35.49 of 60,000 people, and everybody is fallen out 00:47:35.50\00:47:38.16 screaming her name, breaking their necks 00:47:38.17\00:47:40.63 to get to the front of the line why? Because 00:47:40.64\00:47:43.43 Satan has so fixed that, that not God but 00:47:43.44\00:47:46.84 you that's what he said to Eve, you'll be 00:47:46.85\00:47:48.89 like God, you'll be the one that's being 00:47:48.90\00:47:51.31 worshiped. And Matthew makes it clear, he 00:47:51.32\00:47:55.53 even promised this to God, but I want you to 00:47:55.54\00:47:57.65 read this, look at what he promised to Jesus, 00:47:57.66\00:47:59.64 Matthew 4 verse 8 and 9, Matthew 4 verse 8 00:47:59.65\00:48:03.15 and 9, the reason why rich people and famous 00:48:03.16\00:48:05.51 people are being worshiped is right here 00:48:05.52\00:48:07.20 in this text, he says about Jesus: Again, 00:48:07.21\00:48:10.16 the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high 00:48:10.17\00:48:13.33 mountain, what kind of mountain friends, 00:48:13.34\00:48:14.81 exceedingly high, I've, I've, I've hit the high 00:48:14.82\00:48:18.88 times, I've hit the high life, I'm living high, 00:48:18.89\00:48:22.86 I'm living high on the hog. All these terms 00:48:22.87\00:48:26.53 that's what the devil is all about, he wants you 00:48:26.54\00:48:28.13 to live high, he wants you to get high, 00:48:28.14\00:48:30.04 exceedingly high mountain and showed Him how 00:48:31.72\00:48:34.45 many other kingdom, all the kingdoms of the 00:48:34.46\00:48:37.14 world and their glory. Man I wish I was that 00:48:37.15\00:48:41.03 wealthy, that's what we say and he said to 00:48:41.04\00:48:43.65 Jesus and to Him, "All these things I will give 00:48:43.66\00:48:46.57 You and here's the hook if You fall down 00:48:46.58\00:48:49.73 and say with me, and worship me." You cannot 00:48:49.74\00:48:53.65 be in that industry without worshiping the 00:48:53.66\00:48:56.86 devil it is impossible, those are his terms, 00:48:56.87\00:48:59.61 I'll give it to you, but here's the clause you 00:48:59.62\00:49:02.13 got worship me. But the Lord warned in 00:49:02.14\00:49:04.92 Deuteronomy 11 verse 16: Be careful, look at 00:49:04.93\00:49:07.71 this text: Be careful, or you will be enticed 00:49:07.72\00:49:10.46 to turn away and worship other gods and bow 00:49:10.47\00:49:14.37 down to them. That's what he wants to do, 00:49:14.38\00:49:16.97 I tell you about that one time I, I sat back and 00:49:16.98\00:49:19.17 I was looking at all this people that sing in the 00:49:19.18\00:49:21.00 music industry and there was the time that 00:49:21.01\00:49:22.55 God had slap me on my forehead. 00:49:22.56\00:49:23.96 Jim I looked out there and I said man I'll sing 00:49:24.66\00:49:27.18 better than he does, I can make money 00:49:27.19\00:49:29.85 more than he can, and I realize you know what? 00:49:29.86\00:49:32.28 What does it profit a man, if he gains the 00:49:32.29\00:49:33.92 whole world and do what looses his soul. 00:49:33.93\00:49:36.61 So, I said you know what, I rather sing for 00:49:36.62\00:49:38.48 Jesus, so that one day I'll be able to sing not 00:49:38.49\00:49:42.35 just on earth but in every universe known to 00:49:42.36\00:49:44.58 humanity. I don't want this tiny stage called 00:49:44.59\00:49:47.74 earth; I want to be able to sing in 00:49:47.75\00:49:49.58 galaxies beyond the human thought. 00:49:49.59\00:49:51.75 That's the real stage not this little tiny 00:49:51.76\00:49:54.84 planet, that's what Satan, he can only give 00:49:54.85\00:49:56.98 you this, little tiny spec and spec on 00:49:56.99\00:49:59.43 spec. But God wants to give us everything 00:49:59.44\00:50:01.50 why follow his design? You have to keep this 00:50:01.51\00:50:05.08 picture in mind, there are many Gods in the 00:50:05.09\00:50:07.26 world today, and the reason why there are so 00:50:07.27\00:50:09.51 many that we don't see is because they 00:50:09.52\00:50:10.80 are all occult based. Now get this I'm gonna go 00:50:10.81\00:50:14.08 through this very quickly, the many faces 00:50:14.09\00:50:16.72 of occultism, magic, astrology, any system 00:50:16.73\00:50:21.08 claiming to use knowledge as a secrete or 00:50:21.09\00:50:23.60 supernatural powers, or natural supernatural 00:50:23.61\00:50:25.67 agencies, occultism is based on going beyond 00:50:25.68\00:50:28.97 the range of ordinary knowledge or 00:50:28.98\00:50:30.93 understanding, things that are mysterious. 00:50:30.94\00:50:33.13 That's why young people like that when they 00:50:33.14\00:50:34.75 go to the store and buy clothing right at 00:50:34.76\00:50:36.64 the checkout counter in many of the stores 00:50:36.65\00:50:38.32 for girls, there are books on how to cast 00:50:38.33\00:50:40.01 spells, how to get somebody else's 00:50:40.02\00:50:41.91 boyfriend and they borrow these books, 00:50:41.92\00:50:43.70 look at Barnes and Noble, book stores have 00:50:43.71\00:50:45.37 a whole section on how to cast spells, and 00:50:45.38\00:50:48.15 young people buy that stuff, it's fascinating, 00:50:48.16\00:50:51.34 the VG board, it seems like it's just another 00:50:51.35\00:50:53.54 game but it's the open door way to meeting 00:50:53.55\00:50:55.94 Satan himself. Fascination then 00:50:55.95\00:50:58.57 there are other things, the secrete societies, 00:50:58.58\00:51:00.62 things disclosed are communicated only 00:51:00.63\00:51:02.93 to those who are part of a very same movement, 00:51:02.94\00:51:05.49 hidden from view or sometimes hiding 00:51:05.50\00:51:08.18 and play inside Yvonne. It's hidden to those who 00:51:08.19\00:51:12.70 are misinformed, then to cliffs, or block or 00:51:12.71\00:51:15.73 shut off from view in the Garden of Eden 00:51:15.74\00:51:18.27 that's what worked. Satan hide from 00:51:18.28\00:51:20.33 Eve the truth about her situation, 00:51:20.34\00:51:22.17 promised her eye sight when he was about to 00:51:22.18\00:51:25.66 take her eye sight away. Blinded by the light, 00:51:25.67\00:51:28.75 you heard that phrase before, Satan 00:51:28.76\00:51:31.07 was involved in that and through the 00:51:31.08\00:51:32.83 entertainment industry Satan is hiding the true 00:51:32.84\00:51:34.70 effects of the indulgence while at the same time 00:51:34.71\00:51:37.07 promising enhance eye sight. You heard the 00:51:37.08\00:51:39.94 phrase before what you see is what you get, 00:51:39.95\00:51:41.46 have you heard that before? Well, let me 00:51:41.47\00:51:43.52 tell you one that's really true, that's not 00:51:43.53\00:51:45.23 the truth what you see is now what you get, 00:51:45.24\00:51:46.94 what you don't see is what you get. 00:51:46.95\00:51:50.21 How many people would have chosen to smoke 00:51:50.22\00:51:53.19 if they knew that one puff would kill them? 00:51:53.20\00:51:55.23 They didn't see the drugs listing, how many 00:51:56.13\00:51:58.34 people would have chosen promiscuity if they 00:51:58.35\00:52:00.72 knew that one act would have lead them down 00:52:00.73\00:52:02.16 the road to HIV and then dying eventually, 00:52:02.17\00:52:05.23 they didn't see that what you don't see 00:52:05.24\00:52:07.01 when it leads you on a path that's not in 00:52:07.02\00:52:09.37 harmony with God, it's a path that is what you 00:52:09.38\00:52:12.53 don't see is what you get. Then there is 00:52:12.54\00:52:17.27 something else I revealed during the 00:52:17.28\00:52:18.74 series, God warned Adam and Eve about the 00:52:18.75\00:52:21.00 dangers of leaving the right path or in 00:52:21.01\00:52:22.78 occultism there is something called the 00:52:22.79\00:52:25.01 left path. We'll talk about that, the left 00:52:25.02\00:52:28.65 path well yeah there are two paths there's one 00:52:28.66\00:52:31.56 on the left and one on the right, where 00:52:31.57\00:52:33.93 the goats going to be on the left, were 00:52:33.94\00:52:36.11 the sheep going to be sit on the right. So, 00:52:36.12\00:52:38.91 there are two paths goat on the left, goat the 00:52:38.92\00:52:42.44 symbol, Satan's symbol goat you know what's 00:52:42.45\00:52:44.87 the goat, you know what the goat does? It butts, 00:52:44.88\00:52:47.38 I will serve God but, I've believe that 00:52:47.39\00:52:51.71 but, Satan is on that path because everything 00:52:51.72\00:52:54.58 that God introduced to him say I do that but 00:52:54.59\00:52:57.23 I want to be my own boss. I will do that but 00:52:57.24\00:52:59.63 I have a different way, that's why it's the goat 00:52:59.64\00:53:01.61 path. We'll talk about Baphomet and where he 00:53:01.62\00:53:04.15 fits into that why there is goat is all part 00:53:04.16\00:53:06.81 of this whole movement of the occult. And 00:53:06.82\00:53:09.12 then will also talk about how death is looked 00:53:09.13\00:53:11.41 at as something that is to be desire, to die 00:53:11.42\00:53:14.91 is a terrible thing. But not the way that 00:53:14.92\00:53:17.41 the occult industry has designed it, they 00:53:17.42\00:53:20.45 make death the entrance into a different life, 00:53:20.46\00:53:22.99 not into after life like some people teach like 00:53:23.00\00:53:26.80 going to heaven, they are talking about a 00:53:26.81\00:53:28.06 different life altogether. We'll talk 00:53:28.07\00:53:29.56 about how they done that, that's what he said 00:53:29.57\00:53:31.54 to Eve, he said to her: "You will not surely 00:53:31.55\00:53:36.08 die." Genesis 3 and verse 4, you won't 00:53:36.09\00:53:38.15 really die, so nowadays people are dying to who 00:53:38.16\00:53:41.36 they used to be so they could become 00:53:41.37\00:53:43.58 somebody else, because Eve didn't die right away 00:53:43.59\00:53:46.24 that day she eventually died physically, but 00:53:46.25\00:53:48.71 she became somebody other than God had 00:53:48.72\00:53:51.33 created her to be that's what happening today. 00:53:51.34\00:53:53.44 People are becoming other than what God created 00:53:53.45\00:53:56.19 them to be. And now our last text for tonight, 00:53:56.20\00:53:59.58 what is Satan's plan for this last generation 00:53:59.59\00:54:02.38 here it is 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 1 to 7, 00:54:02.39\00:54:07.15 my final text: But know this, that in the last 00:54:07.16\00:54:12.47 days what type of times, perilous times will 00:54:12.48\00:54:15.85 come, and here's the entire, here's the 00:54:15.86\00:54:18.41 outline for the last days Satan put this 00:54:18.42\00:54:21.46 together. For men will be lovers of themselves, 00:54:21.47\00:54:24.51 lovers of money, proud, boasters, blasphemers, 00:54:24.52\00:54:30.65 disobedient to parents, why, unthankful, 00:54:30.66\00:54:34.19 unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, 00:54:34.20\00:54:38.45 without self-control, have you been to party 00:54:38.46\00:54:40.98 lately, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, 00:54:40.99\00:54:45.02 headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure 00:54:45.03\00:54:48.67 rather than lovers of God, having a what 00:54:48.68\00:54:51.56 friends, form of godliness but denying 00:54:51.57\00:54:54.78 its power, there is no Holy Spirit in it. 00:54:54.79\00:54:56.75 And from such God warns turn away! For 00:54:56.76\00:55:00.83 of this sort and this is so amazing nowadays, 00:55:00.84\00:55:03.23 for of this sort are those who creep into 00:55:03.24\00:55:06.26 households and make captives of gullible 00:55:06.27\00:55:09.38 as the King James version says, silly 00:55:09.39\00:55:11.77 women loaded down with sins, led away by various 00:55:11.78\00:55:15.93 lusts, but dark pornographic industry 00:55:15.94\00:55:18.75 is what is talked about here, always learning, 00:55:18.76\00:55:22.20 never able to come to the what? Knowledge 00:55:22.21\00:55:26.53 of the truth, but let me end with the story. 00:55:26.54\00:55:29.90 Let me encourage you tomorrow night the 00:55:30.95\00:55:33.19 topic "It did not come from God" is going 00:55:33.20\00:55:35.10 to be amazingly eye opening. We know 00:55:35.11\00:55:37.36 where it came from, but I'll be specific 00:55:37.37\00:55:39.46 about where it came from. When I 00:55:39.47\00:55:41.69 worked at bank of, of, Bank of America 00:55:41.70\00:55:44.34 in New York City many years ago. And this 00:55:44.35\00:55:48.94 has to do with how my eyes have been opened; 00:55:48.95\00:55:50.70 I didn't spend all my time studying 00:55:51.78\00:55:53.70 counterfeit money. I spend my time 00:55:53.71\00:55:56.94 studying real money, becoming familiar 00:55:56.95\00:56:01.83 with all the symbols, all the things to look 00:56:01.84\00:56:04.62 for, to make sure that when the counterfeit 00:56:04.63\00:56:06.80 showed up I be able to spot it right away. 00:56:06.81\00:56:10.09 What I've done in this series, I've 00:56:12.30\00:56:15.01 been preparing for this series for 00:56:15.02\00:56:16.16 the last 24 years of pastoral ministry, 00:56:16.17\00:56:18.05 studying so closely the truth of God's 00:56:18.06\00:56:20.41 word, that God has now opened mine eyes 00:56:20.42\00:56:23.75 to be able to disclose to you what the 00:56:23.76\00:56:26.57 counterfeits are. So, as we look forward 00:56:26.58\00:56:29.45 to the coming of our Lord, here's the 00:56:29.46\00:56:30.79 question as we reveal what the devil has 00:56:30.80\00:56:33.89 done, I don't want you to forget that if 00:56:33.90\00:56:36.02 you've already had, had glimpse of Jesus, 00:56:36.03\00:56:38.04 you will be able to see the devil coming 00:56:38.05\00:56:40.17 10 miles away. Tonight we've got to look so 00:56:40.18\00:56:43.68 closely at Jesus, that we see deception coming 00:56:43.69\00:56:46.81 from the far distance away. Let us pray. 00:56:46.82\00:56:49.21 Gracious Father in Heaven, thank you so 00:56:49.22\00:56:51.94 much for the truth of your word. Thank you 00:56:51.95\00:56:53.64 for giving us the opportunity tonight 00:56:53.65\00:56:56.20 to lay the scriptural foundation for what's 00:56:56.21\00:56:59.75 coming after. Tomorrow night "It did not come 00:56:59.76\00:57:02.68 from God", Friday night "Mixed Signals", 00:57:02.69\00:57:05.90 Heavenly Father gives us wisdom to continue 00:57:05.91\00:57:08.61 following through, this is only one out of 00:57:08.62\00:57:10.52 five meetings, help us to stick to it, 00:57:10.53\00:57:12.91 to the very end. There's a blessing for us all, 00:57:12.92\00:57:15.94 and we pray this in Jesus precious name. 00:57:15.95\00:57:19.00 Friends we look forward to seeing you again, 00:57:20.17\00:57:22.59 invite your friends; invite your family 00:57:22.60\00:57:24.99 sit down for God.
