Hello, friends, and welcome back 00:00:38.87\00:00:40.54 to Behold the Lamb Presents. 00:00:40.57\00:00:41.97 I'm Chris Shelton your host today. 00:00:42.00\00:00:43.94 I want to encourage you to continue to study 00:00:43.97\00:00:46.21 throughout this hour with us. 00:00:46.24\00:00:48.64 Today Pastor Kenny Shelton will be addressing 00:00:48.68\00:00:51.05 Forming The Conscience Through Hypnotism. 00:00:51.08\00:00:54.02 The title alone to this message is intriguing. 00:00:54.05\00:00:56.72 So let's just take a few moments here together 00:00:56.75\00:00:59.05 and begin to break it down. 00:00:59.09\00:01:00.62 First, what is the conscience? 00:01:00.66\00:01:02.62 The simplest way to explain conscience 00:01:02.66\00:01:05.46 is that it is our inner sense of right and wrong. 00:01:05.49\00:01:09.40 Google offers us this explanation as well. 00:01:09.43\00:01:12.90 It reads, "The sense of consciousness 00:01:12.93\00:01:15.74 of the moral goodness or blameworthiness 00:01:15.77\00:01:18.44 of one's own conduct, intentions 00:01:18.47\00:01:21.41 or character together with a feeling of obligation 00:01:21.44\00:01:24.78 to do right or be good." 00:01:24.81\00:01:27.32 Friends, obviously, our conscious is most likely 00:01:27.35\00:01:31.35 an area of communication in our minds between us 00:01:31.39\00:01:35.39 and the Holy Spirit. 00:01:35.42\00:01:36.93 Therefore, how our conscious minds 00:01:36.96\00:01:39.89 are formed is of great importance 00:01:39.93\00:01:42.40 in our walk with Christ 00:01:42.43\00:01:43.77 and our daily decisions of obedience out of love 00:01:43.80\00:01:47.80 to His will in our lives. 00:01:47.84\00:01:50.07 I would venture, I'd venture to say 00:01:50.11\00:01:52.81 that much of our conscious minds 00:01:52.84\00:01:55.24 are formed during the very young age 00:01:55.28\00:01:58.11 that we often call our formative years 00:01:58.15\00:02:01.08 and our formative years begin 00:02:01.12\00:02:02.88 and are occurring through the ages 00:02:02.92\00:02:05.65 during the ages of zero to eight years of life. 00:02:05.69\00:02:08.82 So, think about this, 00:02:08.86\00:02:10.83 would forming our conscious mind 00:02:10.86\00:02:12.69 through hypnotism be a safe method of character building. 00:02:12.73\00:02:17.30 What exactly is hypnotism? 00:02:17.33\00:02:20.17 Well, a number of careful writers have attempted 00:02:20.20\00:02:23.51 to define what takes place when a subject is hypnotized. 00:02:23.54\00:02:28.51 Norman Carlisle sums it up this way. 00:02:28.54\00:02:30.85 He says, "Being hypnotized has the effect 00:02:30.88\00:02:34.35 of putting your subconscious mind in control 00:02:34.38\00:02:37.15 without interference from your conscious mind, 00:02:37.19\00:02:41.09 which usually monitors your thoughts and actions. 00:02:41.12\00:02:44.56 Then instead of receiving orders 00:02:44.59\00:02:46.49 from your conscious mind, 00:02:46.53\00:02:48.43 you take them from the hypnotist for some reason, 00:02:48.46\00:02:52.43 however, your mind does not know 00:02:52.47\00:02:54.67 that instructions are coming from outside. 00:02:54.70\00:02:58.44 You can read more about this in what is hypnotism. 00:02:58.47\00:03:02.51 Coronet December 1954 on page 151. 00:03:02.54\00:03:07.15 In other words, hypnosis is allowing someone 00:03:07.18\00:03:11.89 or some being to take control of our minds, 00:03:11.92\00:03:15.46 making us subjected to their ideas of right and wrong. 00:03:15.49\00:03:20.00 I believe that Pastor Kenny Shelton today 00:03:20.03\00:03:22.66 will be exploring the use of hypnosis 00:03:22.70\00:03:25.80 as a method of leading us to accept, 00:03:25.83\00:03:28.47 now listen, to accept deception as truth, 00:03:28.50\00:03:32.77 as well as how dangerous and unassuming 00:03:32.81\00:03:36.01 being deceived through hypnosis can be 00:03:36.04\00:03:39.91 and why we must be aware of this. 00:03:39.95\00:03:42.45 So please stay tuned as we continue our study 00:03:42.48\00:03:45.72 of Forming The Conscience Through Hypnotism. 00:03:45.75\00:03:49.06 But first, we're going to visit 3ABN 00:03:49.09\00:03:52.16 where we're going to see Farrah Berry, 00:03:52.19\00:03:54.66 and she's gonna bless us with a piano rendition 00:03:54.70\00:03:57.60 of marching to Zion. 00:03:57.63\00:03:59.83 Hello, and welcome once again to Behold the Lamb Ministries, 00:05:30.26\00:05:32.49 thankful, very thankful that you have decided 00:05:32.53\00:05:34.70 to join us in our study of God's Word. 00:05:34.73\00:05:37.77 It's a very, very exciting study, 00:05:37.80\00:05:39.70 at least for me. 00:05:39.73\00:05:41.27 Because I believe this, God's last day people, 00:05:41.30\00:05:44.27 God's people need to be exposing the enemy, 00:05:44.31\00:05:47.68 and the plan that he has to deceive the whole world. 00:05:47.71\00:05:51.41 The Bible does say that, is that right? 00:05:51.45\00:05:53.45 He deceives the world and then that dwell there in. 00:05:53.48\00:05:56.95 And some of us just sit back like, 00:05:56.99\00:05:58.32 well, it doesn't matter how he deceives. 00:05:58.35\00:06:00.32 Yes, it matters. 00:06:00.36\00:06:02.12 It really matters, so our subject for today 00:06:02.16\00:06:04.33 is forming the conscience. 00:06:04.36\00:06:06.39 Remember, forming the conscience 00:06:06.43\00:06:09.00 by or through hypnotism. 00:06:09.03\00:06:11.77 If you think the devil doesn't use that, 00:06:11.80\00:06:13.87 we better think again. 00:06:13.90\00:06:15.24 And I believe that will be proven today 00:06:15.27\00:06:16.97 as we study how the enemy can do that 00:06:17.01\00:06:20.28 we are not aware of. 00:06:20.31\00:06:22.51 He does not want you to even realize that he exists. 00:06:22.54\00:06:26.15 He's very happy. 00:06:26.18\00:06:27.72 If you say, you know, people say 00:06:27.75\00:06:29.35 "Oh, there is no devil, there is no hell." 00:06:29.38\00:06:31.95 He's just clapping his hands and saying, 00:06:31.99\00:06:33.69 "Oh, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. 00:06:33.72\00:06:35.89 I've got them. 00:06:35.92\00:06:37.69 I've got them." 00:06:37.73\00:06:39.06 But let me tell you, there is a heaven, 00:06:39.09\00:06:40.53 there is a hell, there is a devil, 00:06:40.56\00:06:42.80 and there is a God. 00:06:42.83\00:06:44.40 And you're going to have to choose 00:06:44.43\00:06:45.77 and I'm going to have to choose by the grace of God. 00:06:45.80\00:06:48.77 And so before we go to our lesson here today, 00:06:48.80\00:06:52.57 I always feel the need to pray, 00:06:52.61\00:06:54.48 regardless of how many times have prayed about it. 00:06:54.51\00:06:57.05 And the enemy's being mad every time 00:06:57.08\00:06:58.85 he sees me open the book 00:06:58.88\00:07:00.22 and try to study on this subject. 00:07:00.25\00:07:01.88 But you know, I decided I didn't really care 00:07:01.92\00:07:03.99 because we prayed while ago for the angels to be doubled, 00:07:04.02\00:07:07.42 the angels to be doubled. 00:07:07.46\00:07:08.79 Right? 00:07:08.82\00:07:10.16 If you can't, if you feel like you can't take it, 00:07:10.19\00:07:11.63 and it's getting too much for you. 00:07:11.66\00:07:13.50 One angel, pray for two, 00:07:13.53\00:07:15.76 but then pray for three, pray for a dozen. 00:07:15.80\00:07:18.47 It's all right, God doesn't care. 00:07:18.50\00:07:19.83 He has abundance of angels that He will send to your side. 00:07:19.87\00:07:22.37 Let's pray together, shall we? 00:07:22.40\00:07:24.64 Merciful God in heaven, 00:07:24.67\00:07:26.01 thank You for the privilege of prayer. 00:07:26.04\00:07:27.64 Thank You that we can call you our Father. 00:07:27.68\00:07:29.34 Thank You that You've opened up Your Word to us, 00:07:29.38\00:07:32.48 Your wayward children that we can still understand 00:07:32.51\00:07:34.68 that the plans and the wiles of the enemy. 00:07:34.72\00:07:37.12 And then there's grace and their strength 00:07:37.15\00:07:38.95 and there's power. 00:07:38.99\00:07:40.32 And there's victory for those who will accept 00:07:40.36\00:07:42.62 what you offer to them today. 00:07:42.66\00:07:43.99 Bless us we pray, open ears, hearts and minds. 00:07:44.03\00:07:46.39 Lord, it's way out of my league. 00:07:46.43\00:07:47.83 I don't understand all the rest. 00:07:47.86\00:07:49.26 But Lord, I understand 00:07:49.30\00:07:50.63 that I need to bring it before the people 00:07:50.67\00:07:52.63 and You through the power of the Holy Spirit 00:07:52.67\00:07:54.40 will help them to understand in Jesus' name. 00:07:54.44\00:07:56.44 Amen. 00:07:56.47\00:07:58.37 Amen. 00:07:58.41\00:07:59.74 Our subject, 00:07:59.77\00:08:01.11 really our subject today talking 00:08:01.14\00:08:02.48 about forming the conscience. 00:08:02.51\00:08:03.85 Now remember, the enemy wants us 00:08:03.88\00:08:07.05 to recall, reform our conscience. 00:08:07.08\00:08:09.58 We say conscious, people have a conscience. 00:08:09.62\00:08:11.72 My wife, I know in her introduction, 00:08:11.75\00:08:13.39 talked about the conscience and gave some really good, 00:08:13.42\00:08:16.02 really good definitions of conscience. 00:08:16.06\00:08:18.29 So you have to watch the whole program, 00:08:18.33\00:08:19.66 so you get it. 00:08:19.69\00:08:21.03 And she closed it very well to put it in a nutshell, 00:08:21.06\00:08:23.57 that we're talking about the conscience. 00:08:23.60\00:08:25.23 The enemy is out to change your thinking, 00:08:25.27\00:08:29.00 for you to accept things that are unacceptable. 00:08:29.04\00:08:32.27 But how does he get you from that which is acceptable 00:08:32.31\00:08:34.84 to the unacceptable and still think that is acceptable? 00:08:34.88\00:08:38.81 How does he do that? Interesting. 00:08:38.85\00:08:40.72 So our subject today is one of intense interest to me. 00:08:40.75\00:08:46.02 This is no game. 00:08:46.05\00:08:47.39 If you think living a Christian life is a game, 00:08:47.42\00:08:49.52 you're in the wrong deal here. 00:08:49.56\00:08:51.46 This is not a game at all. 00:08:51.49\00:08:53.76 The stakes are high. 00:08:53.80\00:08:56.50 It's eternal life, what I'm talking about today, 00:08:56.53\00:08:58.97 but few seem to realize it, 00:08:59.00\00:09:01.80 and on the other hand, very few seem to care. 00:09:01.84\00:09:04.74 There's so much going on. 00:09:04.77\00:09:06.11 Everybody's so busy with everything 00:09:06.14\00:09:08.98 except the things of God. 00:09:09.01\00:09:12.55 Any kind of deviation from Bible truth is dangerous. 00:09:12.58\00:09:17.95 Is that okay? 00:09:17.99\00:09:19.32 Any what? 00:09:19.35\00:09:20.89 Any deviation from Bible truth is dangerous. 00:09:20.92\00:09:24.76 So be personally, I guess it's okay to say as a pastor, 00:09:24.79\00:09:27.76 I'm tired. 00:09:27.80\00:09:29.13 I'm sick and tired of people saying, 00:09:29.16\00:09:32.73 it doesn't make any difference. 00:09:32.77\00:09:35.57 Oh, it makes a difference. 00:09:35.60\00:09:36.97 You know, the Bible says in Matthew 4:4, 00:09:37.01\00:09:38.41 "Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." 00:09:38.44\00:09:41.71 Who are you? 00:09:41.74\00:09:43.08 Who am I to say, oh, it doesn't make any difference? 00:09:43.11\00:09:44.71 So, well, God knows. 00:09:44.75\00:09:46.72 I talked to God and said the man the other day 00:09:46.75\00:09:48.95 and I bit my tongue. 00:09:48.98\00:09:50.75 Because I almost said, 00:09:50.79\00:09:52.12 "Why don't you stop and listen to him for a while." 00:09:52.15\00:09:54.56 He was always talking. 00:09:54.59\00:09:55.92 Okay? You follow what I mean? 00:09:55.96\00:09:57.83 Sometimes we're talking and we're not listening. 00:09:57.86\00:10:00.33 But we need to be listening. 00:10:00.36\00:10:03.57 The enemy knows that he's, he knows 00:10:03.60\00:10:07.57 that if we find out his plan that it could blow his cover. 00:10:07.60\00:10:13.54 And he doesn't want it opened up. 00:10:13.58\00:10:15.18 I love the book Great Controversy 00:10:15.21\00:10:16.91 as most of you know. 00:10:16.95\00:10:19.01 I haven't found anything in there 00:10:19.05\00:10:20.38 that goes against Scripture, but I found things 00:10:20.42\00:10:22.25 that will challenge your thinking. 00:10:22.28\00:10:25.15 They will challenge you to go back 00:10:25.19\00:10:26.52 into the Word of God 00:10:26.55\00:10:27.89 and find the principles that are there, 00:10:27.92\00:10:29.26 especially when you read the Books of Daniel 00:10:29.29\00:10:30.73 and Revelation that 00:10:30.76\00:10:32.09 we should be studying right now. 00:10:32.13\00:10:33.96 Remember, there's nothing so agitates the enemy, 00:10:34.00\00:10:38.53 the Great Deceiver, 00:10:38.57\00:10:39.90 may I call him that he fears so much 00:10:39.93\00:10:43.14 as that we become acquainted with his devices. 00:10:43.17\00:10:48.08 What is what? 00:10:48.11\00:10:49.44 The enemy gets torn up, 00:10:49.48\00:10:50.81 when he knows that you're looking and you understand 00:10:50.85\00:10:53.11 his devices, and what he's getting ready to pull. 00:10:53.15\00:10:56.22 Remember, he's a rerun, 00:10:56.25\00:10:58.25 he's going backwards to things that's work, 00:10:58.29\00:11:00.72 he continues to work and why change it. 00:11:00.76\00:11:04.53 We don't do, if something works, 00:11:04.56\00:11:05.89 we just keep working it. 00:11:05.93\00:11:07.26 If you don't, then we try to change it. 00:11:07.30\00:11:10.97 Many attacks and some of this 00:11:11.00\00:11:12.47 you will have to kind of think along with me 00:11:12.50\00:11:14.07 because it takes too much time to go into. 00:11:14.10\00:11:16.40 Many attacks have been made upon the people of God 00:11:16.44\00:11:20.04 over the centuries, upon God's people, 00:11:20.08\00:11:23.45 upon God's Church and whoever that might be, 00:11:23.48\00:11:26.15 I believe it's be the ones who are serving Him 00:11:26.18\00:11:28.68 to the best of their ability. 00:11:28.72\00:11:30.05 They're living up to every ray of light 00:11:30.09\00:11:31.65 that God has given them. 00:11:31.69\00:11:33.79 That's God's people. 00:11:33.82\00:11:35.42 So we need to quit saying, well, is this group, 00:11:35.46\00:11:37.16 is this denomination, is this? 00:11:37.19\00:11:39.03 Are we living up to every bit of light that God has given us? 00:11:39.06\00:11:42.10 If we are, He gonna continue to lead and guide us. 00:11:42.13\00:11:45.83 But the attacks have been made on God's last day church. 00:11:45.87\00:11:49.44 We like to think about even in our own personal church, 00:11:49.47\00:11:51.67 and we talked about I think Sister Kai even mentioned here 00:11:51.71\00:11:53.74 talking about 1844, the beginning of Adventism. 00:11:53.78\00:11:58.25 There's been umpteen kind of attacks upon the church. 00:11:58.28\00:12:02.48 It goes way back. 00:12:02.52\00:12:04.45 In fact, many, it goes so far back 00:12:04.49\00:12:07.36 that many of the saints 00:12:07.39\00:12:09.49 in that period of time in the middle 1800s, 00:12:09.52\00:12:11.56 they're asleep in Jesus now. 00:12:11.59\00:12:14.46 They have no witness to give right now. 00:12:14.50\00:12:16.77 But only thing that's left through these attacks 00:12:16.80\00:12:18.93 the enemy has made is that those things 00:12:18.97\00:12:21.10 that have been written, 00:12:21.14\00:12:22.94 those things that we can read, but you know what?

00:13:04.31\00:13:05.65 That's what they say, and they went on the news 00:13:05.68\00:13:07.02 and get rid of them. 00:13:07.05\00:13:08.72 If you don't like the way something took place 00:13:08.75\00:13:10.09 in history, just change it with something else, 00:13:10.12\00:13:12.52 and it's okay. 00:13:12.55\00:13:14.02 No, you can change it all you want, 00:13:14.06\00:13:15.82 but it's not going to change. 00:13:15.86\00:13:17.86 You know, I can change my birthday 00:13:17.89\00:13:19.23 all I want to, right?

00:14:01.97\00:14:03.30 And was there a plan to get it to change? 00:14:03.34\00:14:07.01 Some who said, "Oh, I know all about it. 00:14:07.04\00:14:09.11 I've been a member for 20 years. 00:14:09.14\00:14:11.11 I've been a member of this church for 30 years. 00:14:11.15\00:14:13.15 I've been a member, 00:14:13.18\00:14:14.52 that goes farther back than that. 00:14:14.55\00:14:17.35 I mean, way back where the enemy is attacked. 00:14:17.39\00:14:21.09 You've missed a lot of those things. 00:14:21.12\00:14:22.96 That doesn't mean that, oh, you're guilty of anything, 00:14:22.99\00:14:24.89 but you've missed some things just went on. 00:14:24.93\00:14:28.60 And we talk about the things that people 00:14:28.63\00:14:31.40 after seemed like a year or two, 00:14:31.43\00:14:33.54 they don't talk about it anymore. 00:14:33.57\00:14:34.90 Have you ever noticed that in churches? 00:14:34.94\00:14:36.27 It's a big deal when it happens. 00:14:36.30\00:14:38.24 Everybody's talking about it. 00:14:38.27\00:14:40.18 Everybody's upset about it. 00:14:40.21\00:14:41.81 We're gonna leave the church. 00:14:41.84\00:14:43.55 We're not coming back anymore. 00:14:43.58\00:14:44.91 We're gonna wait, we don't want to go anymore. 00:14:44.95\00:14:46.55 And then after a year or two, it's like, 00:14:46.58\00:14:48.35 we just go ahead and accept it and its okay now. 00:14:48.38\00:14:52.65 It wasn't okay then, it wasn't scriptural then, 00:14:52.69\00:14:54.82 how did it become scriptural? 00:14:54.86\00:14:57.19 Did we just get tired of fighting it? 00:14:57.23\00:14:58.69 Did we just get tired of what was going on? 00:14:58.73\00:15:02.43 So what we talk a little bit about today, 00:15:02.46\00:15:05.27 I have seen personally, I have heard personally, 00:15:05.30\00:15:09.67 I've seen it personally, I've experienced it personally. 00:15:09.70\00:15:15.14 And the Lord keeps laying it on my heart that we need to, 00:15:15.18\00:15:17.75 because of the years that have passed, 00:15:17.78\00:15:20.08 that it's still out there, it's still prevalent, 00:15:20.12\00:15:23.08 it's still going on, and it's still wrong. 00:15:23.12\00:15:26.49 Still wrong. 00:15:26.52\00:15:29.52 And a warning must certainly be given. 00:15:29.56\00:15:33.23 Because I believe the seeds 00:15:33.26\00:15:35.13 that are planted will produce a harvest. 00:15:35.16\00:15:38.53 Is that true? 00:15:38.57\00:15:39.90 If you don't, you go, plant your garden, 00:15:39.93\00:15:42.24 the seeds that start blooming up in a little while. 00:15:42.27\00:15:44.94 We planted a bunch of corn and everything else. 00:15:44.97\00:15:46.81 And after first couple three weeks nothing's come up. 00:15:46.84\00:15:50.51 What a mess? Why in the world that didn't? 00:15:50.55\00:15:52.98 You expect that corn to come up, right? 00:15:53.01\00:15:55.48 So you actually had a few moments I went out there, 00:15:55.52\00:15:57.09 and where's the, where's the grass and the corn? 00:15:57.12\00:16:01.39 We got to be careful. 00:16:01.42\00:16:02.76 You know, Lord talks about, right? 00:16:02.79\00:16:04.13 Uprooting things before their time. 00:16:04.16\00:16:05.49 I had to look real close 00:16:05.53\00:16:06.86 before I can tell the difference between a weed 00:16:06.90\00:16:08.60 and a piece of corn coming out. 00:16:08.63\00:16:09.96 But you get to follow me. 00:16:10.00\00:16:11.33 You had to look real close while it's small. 00:16:11.37\00:16:13.20 So I want to make sure, 00:16:13.23\00:16:14.57 I didn't pull up the wrong thing. 00:16:14.60\00:16:16.60 Then I ran in the house. 00:16:16.64\00:16:17.97 I said, there's 50 stalks, 00:16:18.01\00:16:20.98 50 stalks coming up 50, 60, 100 ears of corn, 00:16:21.01\00:16:26.11 you know anyway, so it was kind of exciting, right? 00:16:26.15\00:16:30.09 God was working even in our unbelief, 00:16:30.12\00:16:32.05 like it's not coming up. 00:16:32.09\00:16:33.79 Remember, the only way, 00:16:33.82\00:16:35.59 the only way Satan can get to you, 00:16:35.62\00:16:37.79 anybody in here? 00:16:37.83\00:16:39.16 The only way he can get to you is through your mind. 00:16:39.19\00:16:44.33 Are you there? 00:16:44.37\00:16:45.70 Let's keep that in. 00:16:45.73\00:16:47.24 The only way that God through the Holy Spirit 00:16:47.27\00:16:49.30 can get to you is through what? 00:16:49.34\00:16:51.91 Is through the mind. 00:16:51.94\00:16:53.27 This is the mind games. 00:16:53.31\00:16:54.64 You hear it all the time. 00:16:54.68\00:16:56.01 There's things that's going on for the mind. 00:16:56.04\00:16:58.71 Any of you heard? 00:16:58.75\00:17:01.12 I want to say, honey, two or three parts, 00:17:01.15\00:17:02.58 two or three parts, but I didn't do it. 00:17:02.62\00:17:04.99 Any of you ever heard about NLP? 00:17:05.02\00:17:09.49 Yeah. 00:17:09.52\00:17:10.86 Yes, people heard about it or whatever. 00:17:10.89\00:17:12.83 See, I was alive and well and kicking 00:17:12.86\00:17:14.60 as we're going through all this. 00:17:14.63\00:17:17.30 I didn't like it then, I don't like it now. 00:17:17.33\00:17:19.87 That's neural linguistic programming, 00:17:19.90\00:17:22.64 dealing with reprogramming the mind. 00:17:22.67\00:17:26.17 And somehow it found its lodging in the church, 00:17:26.21\00:17:29.18 and millions with millions of people. 00:17:29.21\00:17:33.21 How about spiritual formation? 00:17:33.25\00:17:35.98 See, very brave people. 00:17:36.02\00:17:37.45 They all found their place in Adventism, 00:17:37.49\00:17:40.06 and is still there, still bearing fruit. 00:17:40.09\00:17:42.22 But most of us don't know it because we weren't there. 00:17:42.26\00:17:44.63 Too many years have passed. 00:17:44.66\00:17:45.99 No big deal. 00:17:46.03\00:17:47.36 It is because it's not scriptural. 00:17:47.40\00:17:50.03 New theology, a lot of new theology 00:17:50.07\00:17:52.03 has come forward, 00:17:52.07\00:17:54.40 lot of mind clearing games, 00:17:54.44\00:17:57.44 centering prayer, we got to be careful of. 00:17:57.47\00:18:00.44 You know, I simply like, pick a word 00:18:00.48\00:18:01.88 and go over and over it and get it inside yourself. 00:18:01.91\00:18:05.91 And then it always about mind, empty your mind. 00:18:05.95\00:18:09.68 Never empty your mind because the devil 00:18:09.72\00:18:12.19 will come in and take your mind. 00:18:12.22\00:18:14.19 When you empty your mind, 00:18:14.22\00:18:15.56 that means you have no defense against evil. 00:18:15.59\00:18:19.33 And that's what happens when you're hypnotized. 00:18:19.36\00:18:23.00 That's what happens. 00:18:23.03\00:18:24.37 You empty the mind and all of a sudden, 00:18:24.40\00:18:26.53 that person who's hypnotizing you could put anything 00:18:26.57\00:18:29.10 he wants in that mind, because there's no, 00:18:29.14\00:18:32.37 there's no opposition. 00:18:32.41\00:18:34.11 It's very heavy duty meditative prayer. 00:18:34.14\00:18:38.18 Huh. You concentrate. 00:18:38.21\00:18:39.98 Now, how could this come into the church? 00:18:40.02\00:18:41.95 I just, I'm simple minded. 00:18:41.98\00:18:43.55 So I read in the Scripture. 00:18:43.59\00:18:44.92 The disciples said something like this, teach us to pray. 00:18:44.95\00:18:48.59 They asked the King of the universe, 00:18:48.62\00:18:49.96 did they not? 00:18:49.99\00:18:51.33 Teach us to pray. 00:18:51.36\00:18:52.69 And He taught them to pray. 00:18:52.73\00:18:54.16 But now all of a sudden, in this age that we live in, 00:18:54.20\00:18:56.73 in the 90s and so on, this really is hitting heavy. 00:18:56.77\00:19:01.20 They said, we have a new way we can pray now. 00:19:01.24\00:19:04.84 When I go back the way Jesus said, teach us to pray. 00:19:04.87\00:19:07.21 And here's what you do. 00:19:07.24\00:19:08.58 You have to breathe a certain way. 00:19:08.61\00:19:10.45 Hmm. 00:19:10.48\00:19:11.81 Breathe. 00:19:11.85\00:19:13.18 And you can visualize and you can use imagery. 00:19:13.21\00:19:15.78 And listen, this is so close to New Age, 00:19:15.82\00:19:18.82 and this is so close to the Eastern techniques. 00:19:18.85\00:19:22.32 Right now paganism. 00:19:22.36\00:19:24.23 It's not funny to even mention, 00:19:24.26\00:19:26.39 but how did all this paganism place 00:19:26.43\00:19:28.80 its thinking creep from there into the church, 00:19:28.83\00:19:32.33 and so called sane men and women, 00:19:32.37\00:19:34.47 leaders accepted as good and it works. 00:19:34.50\00:19:37.31 Because it begins to change your mind and you are, 00:19:37.34\00:19:40.78 you're a better church. 00:19:40.81\00:19:42.21 You're better members because you listen better 00:19:42.24\00:19:44.25 and you'll do what we asked you to do, 00:19:44.28\00:19:45.88 and you won't question it. 00:19:45.91\00:19:47.25 That sounds strange, doesn't it? 00:19:50.72\00:19:52.95 It went all over, still going all over contemplative prayer. 00:19:52.99\00:19:57.93 All these things happen to mind. 00:19:57.96\00:19:59.96 Number one, they'll say to you will empty your mind, 00:20:00.00\00:20:04.23 empty your mind and say something, 00:20:04.27\00:20:06.30 a line or two some over and over, 00:20:06.33\00:20:09.94 so resembles the ancient mystical practices. 00:20:09.97\00:20:13.98 Mind, listen, mind empty, Satan works. 00:20:14.01\00:20:18.41 Does that make sense? 00:20:18.45\00:20:19.78 Mind empty, Satan works. 00:20:19.81\00:20:22.62 When Adam and Eve, if you read Patriarchs and Prophets, 00:20:22.65\00:20:25.02 page 56 says this, after sin, it talks about, their thought, 00:20:25.05\00:20:30.33 they thought that they had entered 00:20:30.36\00:20:33.06 upon a higher state of existence. 00:20:33.09\00:20:36.53 Think about before sin entered in, 00:20:36.56\00:20:39.33 that's perfectly happy, isn't that right? 00:20:39.37\00:20:41.57 Everything was perfect. 00:20:41.60\00:20:44.31 They didn't lack for anything. 00:20:44.34\00:20:46.27 They could communicate with God, 00:20:46.31\00:20:48.48 they communicated with the angels, 00:20:48.51\00:20:50.65 they were warned about the tree of life. 00:20:50.68\00:20:53.65 Everything was there and open for them, 00:20:53.68\00:20:56.62 just as the warnings were given there, 00:20:56.65\00:20:58.25 help was given there. 00:20:58.29\00:20:59.65 And yet somehow, when sin came in, 00:20:59.69\00:21:03.22 oh, and you know what? 00:21:03.26\00:21:05.19 People who go through, 00:21:05.23\00:21:06.56 just few of the things that I mentioned here, 00:21:06.59\00:21:08.33 you know what they'll tell you a lot of times as Christians, 00:21:08.36\00:21:10.80 and I've talked to them. 00:21:10.83\00:21:12.97 We've experienced something we have never experienced 00:21:13.00\00:21:15.54 before in our prayer time. 00:21:15.57\00:21:20.14 Interesting. 00:21:20.18\00:21:22.18 Interesting, because that's what Adam and Eve thought, 00:21:22.21\00:21:25.55 see, because it was something new to their mind 00:21:25.58\00:21:28.25 that hadn't been there before, because there was no sin, 00:21:28.28\00:21:32.09 forming the conscience through hypnotism. 00:21:32.12\00:21:35.26 Jeremiah 6:16, you realize your bottom line on that, 00:21:35.29\00:21:38.33 "Thus saith the Lord stand," where? 00:21:38.36\00:21:40.66 In the ways, and see, 00:21:40.70\00:21:42.03 and ask the Lord for the old paths." 00:21:42.06\00:21:43.83 How many are asking, really, Lord give me the old path. 00:21:43.87\00:21:46.84 It didn't take much of an individual, 00:21:46.87\00:21:49.00 if he's walking through, you know, heavy vegetated area, 00:21:49.04\00:21:53.64 if there's a little path, isn't that right? 00:21:53.68\00:21:55.98 When you see a little path right there, 00:21:56.01\00:21:57.71 you're gonna go cut out through where you can't even walk, 00:21:57.75\00:21:59.85 what you're gonna do is got what? 00:21:59.88\00:22:01.28 You're gonna try stay in that little path, 00:22:01.32\00:22:03.08 because there's many has been down that path 00:22:03.12\00:22:05.35 before evidently. 00:22:05.39\00:22:07.09 And so we need to be asking, Lord, give me the old paths, 00:22:07.12\00:22:10.43 because a lot of people have been through this before. 00:22:10.46\00:22:13.36 And then God said, I'll give you those paths. 00:22:13.40\00:22:14.90 But I want you to walk in there. 00:22:14.93\00:22:16.30 And if you walk in these paths, 00:22:16.33\00:22:17.67 you will find rest for your soul. 00:22:17.70\00:22:19.53 And they said, "No, we're not going to do it." 00:22:19.57\00:22:22.04 See the people today, God said, "I'll teach you how to pray." 00:22:22.07\00:22:23.97 And they said, "Well, no, we're not gonna do that." 00:22:24.01\00:22:25.64 We're gonna, there's something new here, 00:22:25.67\00:22:27.38 Joe so and so or somebody high in the church said, 00:22:27.41\00:22:30.55 this is a wonderful experience. 00:22:30.58\00:22:31.91 And they've never experienced anything like it 00:22:31.95\00:22:33.45 before in all their 50 years in the church, 00:22:33.48\00:22:35.48 and they feel good about it. 00:22:35.52\00:22:37.75 And they want you to feel good about it. 00:22:37.79\00:22:39.95 Have you experienced it? Well, no. 00:22:39.99\00:22:41.32 Oh, you need to. 00:22:41.36\00:22:42.69 Oh, come on, come on, come on, come to me. 00:22:42.72\00:22:44.89 Oh, friends, you need to realize 00:22:44.93\00:22:46.26 what's going on here. 00:22:46.29\00:22:48.40 Changes are nothing new. 00:22:48.43\00:22:50.83 There can be good changes, and there can be bad changes. 00:22:50.87\00:22:54.50 But praise God, we have the Word, isn't that right? 00:22:54.54\00:22:56.97 We have the Word of God. 00:22:57.01\00:22:59.71 So when the spiritual changes 00:22:59.74\00:23:01.21 comes about, we can weigh it out 00:23:01.24\00:23:03.45 to make sure that we are staying in what? 00:23:03.48\00:23:05.75 The old paths. 00:23:05.78\00:23:07.88 Nothing wrong with staying in the old paths. 00:23:07.92\00:23:10.52 Several years ago, 00:23:10.55\00:23:11.95 we as a people have experienced, 00:23:11.99\00:23:14.89 I must say, it's a well-organized, 00:23:14.92\00:23:17.26 a well-orchestrated campaign 00:23:17.29\00:23:21.46 for massive changes. 00:23:21.50\00:23:24.17 See, most of you, I've been in the church 10 years, 00:23:24.20\00:23:25.90 they'll say I've been 20 years in the church, I've been 30. 00:23:25.93\00:23:28.04 You didn't know of any massive changes, 00:23:28.07\00:23:30.84 but they were there. 00:23:30.87\00:23:32.21 And really, most of the time, 00:23:32.24\00:23:33.58 you're not allowed to talk about them. 00:23:33.61\00:23:35.64 But if you talk about them, you get in trouble. 00:23:35.68\00:23:37.15 And they say, well, this is not happening, 00:23:37.18\00:23:38.61 but the fruit is still there. 00:23:38.65\00:23:41.08 It still happens. 00:23:41.12\00:23:42.45 So why can't we just discuss it 00:23:42.48\00:23:44.02 to see if it's from God or if it's not from God. 00:23:44.05\00:23:48.36 But some of these massive changes 00:23:48.39\00:23:49.99 I'm talking about involves the most, 00:23:50.03\00:23:53.60 the most diabolical form of mind control 00:23:53.63\00:23:57.67 techniques available. 00:23:57.70\00:24:00.87 Did you get it? 00:24:00.90\00:24:02.24 Diabolical. 00:24:02.27\00:24:03.61 You saying diabolical, you're simply saying 00:24:03.64\00:24:05.21 characteristics of the devil. 00:24:05.24\00:24:07.64 Characteristics of the devil, it's evil suggestions, 00:24:07.68\00:24:12.11 the devil, devilish. 00:24:12.15\00:24:15.15 Many times you'll say, well, it's devilish. 00:24:15.18\00:24:18.95 This plan did not come in among us. 00:24:18.99\00:24:24.59 As it came in among us many changes ensues, 00:24:24.63\00:24:28.40 especially in our worship service 00:24:28.43\00:24:30.57 and we found ourselves pattering ourselves. 00:24:30.60\00:24:36.00 May I say Babylon? 00:24:36.04\00:24:38.17 We found ourselves pattering ourselves after Babylon. 00:24:38.21\00:24:42.61 Talking about your heathen and different things, 00:24:42.64\00:24:44.65 but other churches, 00:24:44.68\00:24:48.85 all the years we didn't have to pattern ourselves. 00:24:48.88\00:24:50.99 We had the Word of God, 00:24:51.02\00:24:52.35 was patterned after the Word of God 00:24:52.39\00:24:54.12 and what Jesus taught New Testament Church, 00:24:54.16\00:24:55.82 so we knew what to do. 00:24:55.86\00:24:57.43 But all of a sudden that wasn't good enough. 00:24:57.46\00:24:59.09 There wasn't enough emotion. 00:24:59.13\00:25:00.46 There wasn't enough a feeling. 00:25:00.50\00:25:01.83 The most dead people in the whole world 00:25:01.86\00:25:03.90 in church service sometime is Seventh-day Adventist. 00:25:03.93\00:25:07.44 Well, prove me wrong? 00:25:07.47\00:25:10.37 See some people say, oh, you shouldn't say that. 00:25:10.41\00:25:11.84 Oh, man, take him on. 00:25:11.87\00:25:13.68 It's true. 00:25:13.71\00:25:15.48 It's true. 00:25:15.51\00:25:17.18 Years I grew up, I went to, 00:25:17.21\00:25:21.48 they call the cemetery every week instead of church. 00:25:21.52\00:25:24.79 They were dead. 00:25:24.82\00:25:26.96 People were afraid to say amen, 00:25:26.99\00:25:29.32 they're afraid to say hallelujah, praise God. 00:25:29.36\00:25:34.30 Doesn't make it all wrong, I'm just simply saying it, 00:25:34.33\00:25:36.16 so there was something about 00:25:36.20\00:25:38.10 when some joy and a little excitement came, 00:25:38.13\00:25:40.94 people were looking for something new, 00:25:40.97\00:25:44.57 they were looking for a way 00:25:44.61\00:25:45.94 and I believe there can be a wonderful balance. 00:25:45.97\00:25:49.44 You know, I heard some praying what? 00:25:49.48\00:25:51.28 Well, I just talk about it? 00:25:51.31\00:25:53.88 Is okay to just talk about a little bit. 00:25:53.92\00:25:56.18 We're getting our morning prayer here, 00:25:56.22\00:25:58.12 I heard Brother Mark talk prior he said, 00:25:58.15\00:26:00.96 thank God for a ministry 00:26:00.99\00:26:03.32 that the message goes around the world. 00:26:03.36\00:26:07.86 No, no he used to now, 00:26:07.90\00:26:09.23 you're not going to but no sweets now. 00:26:09.26\00:26:12.90 No sweets. 00:26:12.93\00:26:14.27 I want to hear it then. 00:26:14.30\00:26:17.24 Now maybe are deaf, okay? 00:26:17.27\00:26:19.21 So I can't hear it, okay? 00:26:19.24\00:26:21.01 Maybe I didn't hear it, 00:26:21.04\00:26:22.38 but I don't think I heard one amen. 00:26:22.41\00:26:26.25 I'm not gonna try to scold you, so you'll say amen next. 00:26:26.28\00:26:28.15 I want you to believe it when you say it. 00:26:28.18\00:26:29.52 But when you feel it, say it. 00:26:29.55\00:26:32.72 Praise God for an opportunity to reach people for Jesus. 00:26:32.75\00:26:36.99 Somebody should jump up over a pew or something. 00:26:37.03\00:26:40.83 Right? 00:26:40.86\00:26:42.20 I mean, really think about, 00:26:42.23\00:26:44.37 that's fulfilling the commission 00:26:44.40\00:26:45.73 that God has given, 00:26:45.77\00:26:47.10 and how many people have that opportunity 00:26:47.14\00:26:48.47 that God's given this little church, 00:26:48.50\00:26:49.84 an opportunity to reach the world, 00:26:49.87\00:26:51.21 go ye into all the world and do what? 00:26:51.24\00:26:53.24 Preach the gospel of Jesus. 00:26:53.27\00:26:55.18 Go you where? 00:26:55.21\00:26:56.54 Go to the highways and the byways 00:26:56.58\00:26:57.91 that compel them to come in. 00:26:57.95\00:26:59.28 This is not the highway, this is not the byway, 00:26:59.31\00:27:01.22 it's outside out there, go, get into the prisons, 00:27:01.25\00:27:04.09 get into the house and get into the cities 00:27:04.12\00:27:05.99 that you can't get into. 00:27:06.02\00:27:07.39 See, that's why I'm saying somebody should get excited. 00:27:07.42\00:27:10.56 Not that we're worthies, a little group right here 00:27:10.59\00:27:12.99 has nothing to do with that. 00:27:13.03\00:27:14.36 God is great. 00:27:14.40\00:27:15.73 That's what it has to do with. 00:27:15.76\00:27:17.10 God is good. 00:27:17.13\00:27:18.47 God is powerful. 00:27:18.50\00:27:19.83 And God says, this is what I want from My people. 00:27:19.87\00:27:21.54 And when you see it fulfill a miracle, a miracle. 00:27:21.57\00:27:26.84 It's a miracle. 00:27:26.88\00:27:28.98 Oh, it's good. 00:27:29.01\00:27:30.35 Oh. 00:27:30.38\00:27:32.08 But the enemy says, I don't like this. 00:27:32.11\00:27:33.68 And there's, there's too much going on. 00:27:33.72\00:27:35.55 And I'm going to try to, I'm going to try 00:27:35.58\00:27:37.29 to get the people out that solid old pass. 00:27:37.32\00:27:40.12 I'm going to try to develop a faith based upon feelings 00:27:40.16\00:27:43.59 and one based upon emotion 00:27:43.63\00:27:45.29 and not really on the thus saith the Lord. 00:27:45.33\00:27:48.50 I'm going to try to reform the conscience. 00:27:48.53\00:27:50.97 See, many of us have no idea 00:27:51.00\00:27:53.37 that this is all an outward plan. 00:27:53.40\00:27:55.94 Anybody ever heard of Vatican II? 00:27:55.97\00:27:59.47 Heard of Vatican? 00:27:59.51\00:28:00.84 Listen, all I'm talking about, that all you have to do 00:28:00.88\00:28:02.94 is get your copy, Vatican II, Pope John Paul II so on. 00:28:02.98\00:28:07.95 I'll say this about, 00:28:07.98\00:28:09.58 it's not to put down the Catholic Church. 00:28:09.62\00:28:12.69 They'll tell you exactly what they're planning to do. 00:28:12.72\00:28:15.02 And they'll put it right underneath your nose and say, 00:28:15.06\00:28:16.62 what are you gonna do about it? 00:28:16.66\00:28:18.93 See, most people don't know that, 00:28:18.96\00:28:20.30 Ben, they have no idea. 00:28:20.33\00:28:21.66 They just say, "Oh, I surely don't know." 00:28:21.70\00:28:23.03 They put it out there and say this is exactly 00:28:23.06\00:28:25.03 what we're going to do with the world. 00:28:25.07\00:28:26.97 And here's who we're going to use to do it. 00:28:27.00\00:28:29.27 Here's how we're going to stamp out if they don't do it. 00:28:29.30\00:28:32.74 I can read those things, I've read those things. 00:28:32.77\00:28:35.61 And you know what? 00:28:35.64\00:28:36.98 That's several years ago, and you can see it now. 00:28:37.01\00:28:39.45 And then we come along Pope Francis 00:28:39.48\00:28:41.08 and he has bowed his head to that, right? 00:28:41.12\00:28:44.02 Pope John II said, we're going to be doing exactly that. 00:28:44.05\00:28:47.56 But we have to change since we believe 00:28:47.59\00:28:49.89 that we're going to be under world dominion, 00:28:49.92\00:28:52.63 we're going to take the world under control. 00:28:52.66\00:28:55.10 Because the Bible said the whole world will wander. 00:28:55.13\00:28:58.60 They're gonna wander after the beast 00:28:58.63\00:29:00.10 and they are those who is what? 00:29:00.14\00:29:01.80 Whose names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 00:29:01.84\00:29:04.91 Don't let your name be one of those. 00:29:04.94\00:29:08.08 Because the Bible predicts the majority of the world 00:29:08.11\00:29:11.01 will wander after the beast power. 00:29:11.05\00:29:13.78 And their names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 00:29:13.82\00:29:16.05 So it has to say it's a religious power, 00:29:16.08\00:29:18.09 does it not? 00:29:18.12\00:29:20.06 It deals with eternal life, eternal damnation. 00:29:20.09\00:29:23.56 Interesting thought. 00:29:23.59\00:29:26.23 Man, don't let it pass by without giving us 00:29:26.26\00:29:28.26 some more thoughts and more study. 00:29:28.30\00:29:30.83 And so they said, we're going to put forth 00:29:30.87\00:29:33.07 a, listen, a reform of the conscience. 00:29:33.10\00:29:36.74 We're going to try to reform in the mind 00:29:36.77\00:29:39.87 your conscience to where you don't fight 00:29:39.91\00:29:41.88 against the Mother Church of Rome, 00:29:41.91\00:29:44.15 that you accept her teachings and her dogmas, 00:29:44.18\00:29:47.88 my lands of love, 00:29:47.92\00:29:51.02 right out in front of your nose. 00:29:51.05\00:29:54.12 And then we say, oh, let's not talk that way now. 00:29:54.16\00:29:56.12 We need to be careful. 00:29:56.16\00:29:57.49 No, I'm not gonna be careful. 00:29:57.53\00:29:59.59 And I'm not trying to be smart, 00:29:59.63\00:30:01.56 you know, I'm just not trying to be smarter about it. 00:30:01.60\00:30:04.33 But I say for too long, 00:30:04.37\00:30:05.83 it's like the Lord said on this earth, 00:30:05.87\00:30:07.20 present this before the people, 00:30:07.24\00:30:08.84 because many of them have no idea really 00:30:08.87\00:30:10.51 what's going on and how powerful the enemy. 00:30:10.54\00:30:13.27 I'm not trying to give him credit. 00:30:13.31\00:30:14.64 Let's just talk a way that it is. 00:30:14.68\00:30:16.88 Was he not the fourth in heaven? 00:30:16.91\00:30:18.25 You better believe. 00:30:18.28\00:30:19.61 You think he doesn't know what's going on 00:30:19.65\00:30:20.98 after 6000 years of experience. 00:30:21.02\00:30:22.38 And he was way ahead of you and me 00:30:22.42\00:30:23.75 before he started. 00:30:23.79\00:30:25.22 He was perfect. 00:30:25.25\00:30:27.19 I don't know how long he was perfect. 00:30:27.22\00:30:29.06 I don't know what all he saw while he was there. 00:30:29.09\00:30:31.23 But I know, he saw God in creation. 00:30:31.26\00:30:33.33 I know he saw God in action. 00:30:33.36\00:30:35.06 And I know that he reverenced God, 00:30:35.10\00:30:36.90 he feared God. 00:30:36.93\00:30:38.37 But he wanted Jesus' job, didn't he? 00:30:38.40\00:30:43.44 He's smarter than some of us. 00:30:43.47\00:30:45.81 When God speaks, he has to listen. 00:30:45.84\00:30:49.54 Yeah, sometimes he speaks to us. 00:30:49.58\00:30:51.41 And we'll say, yeah, but you know, what about. 00:30:51.45\00:30:53.11 Oh, well, you know, we think we know. 00:30:53.15\00:30:54.98 Oh, it's so sad. 00:30:55.02\00:30:57.75 Where did this stuff all come from? 00:30:57.79\00:31:00.09 Remember, it's still going on in the churches, 00:31:00.12\00:31:02.59 it has been going for umpteen years. 00:31:02.62\00:31:06.29 How could the remnant church, 00:31:06.33\00:31:08.33 how could any church be duped into this kind 00:31:08.36\00:31:12.07 of thing to let it come in? 00:31:12.10\00:31:14.17 Because somebody said, "Oh, it's such an experience, 00:31:14.20\00:31:16.10 man, you don't want to miss it." 00:31:16.14\00:31:17.94 Oh, you feel so good. 00:31:17.97\00:31:20.68 Oh, well, let's try surely can't, can't hurt. 00:31:20.71\00:31:25.58 Yeah, but look at 00:31:25.61\00:31:26.95 all the principles that are there. 00:31:26.98\00:31:28.82 It sound like spiritualism. 00:31:28.85\00:31:33.32 Ancient mysticism, things are just, 00:31:33.36\00:31:35.49 it don't sound right. 00:31:35.52\00:31:36.86 Well, then that's warning right then to stay away from it. 00:31:36.89\00:31:40.96 I'm saying it happened before and it can happen again. 00:31:41.00\00:31:44.17 You're gonna say no, I know what you're gonna say, 00:31:44.20\00:31:45.93 it can. 00:31:45.97\00:31:47.30 As we near the end of time, there's no doubt about it. 00:31:47.34\00:31:49.34 The enemy is going try to unsettle your faith. 00:31:49.37\00:31:52.91 But first of all, you're going to have to have a faith. 00:31:52.94\00:31:55.34 And you need to be settled in a faith. 00:31:55.38\00:31:57.61 This jumping around and then a fog sometime, 00:31:57.65\00:31:59.55 you don't know where you're going 00:31:59.58\00:32:00.92 and what you're going to do, get out of that man, 00:32:00.95\00:32:02.28 somebody gets settled in the concrete. 00:32:02.32\00:32:04.35 Somebody get a good firm foundation, 00:32:04.39\00:32:06.29 get a good footing and stand on it. 00:32:06.32\00:32:08.99 Take a stand and God will bless you for that. 00:32:09.02\00:32:12.26 But the enemy said, I'm gonna, you know what I'm gonna do? 00:32:12.29\00:32:14.00 I'm gonna sidetrack John. 00:32:14.03\00:32:17.37 I'm gonna sidetrack Kenny, he's easy to sidetrack. 00:32:17.40\00:32:21.00 Huh. 00:32:21.04\00:32:22.47 Get our minds off of what we should, 00:32:22.50\00:32:24.41 you know should be thinking about. 00:32:24.44\00:32:26.81 Is it possible that the enemy will be using, 00:32:26.84\00:32:30.08 you know, mind control techniques before Jesus 00:32:30.11\00:32:32.71 shall come on God's last day people, hypnotizing, 00:32:32.75\00:32:36.89 listen carefully, the very elect. 00:32:36.92\00:32:40.96 Well, think about it, very elect. 00:32:40.99\00:32:45.09 Now, let's discuss this just for a moment, shall we? 00:32:45.13\00:32:48.10 Because this is, it's one that you'll say, hmm. 00:32:48.13\00:32:50.17 And then you'll go, hmm, and then you'll, hmm. 00:32:50.20\00:32:53.07 The very elect, Matthew 24:24, what does this say? 00:32:53.10\00:32:56.50 "For there shall arise false Christs, 00:32:56.54\00:32:58.44 false prophets," isn't that right? 00:32:58.47\00:33:00.64 "And shall show great signs and," what? 00:33:00.68\00:33:03.45 "And wonders that if it," what? 00:33:03.48\00:33:05.51 "If it were possible they shall, 00:33:05.55\00:33:08.68 they shall deceive the very elect." 00:33:08.72\00:33:12.59 They shall deceive. 00:33:12.62\00:33:14.16 That means that in the Greek it says 00:33:14.19\00:33:15.96 that they caused to err, that means they're going to... 00:33:15.99\00:33:20.50 Strange things are going to take place, 00:33:20.53\00:33:23.13 it's going to cause them to wander away 00:33:23.16\00:33:24.93 just a little bit. 00:33:24.97\00:33:26.50 People will get wrapped up in some of the things 00:33:26.53\00:33:27.97 I've just mentioned here quickly 00:33:28.00\00:33:29.34 if we don't have time to cover it all. 00:33:29.37\00:33:30.71 These are people who are lukewarm in the church 00:33:30.74\00:33:33.21 that doesn't have 00:33:33.24\00:33:34.58 a real experience with Jesus Christ, 00:33:34.61\00:33:35.94 and they're looking for something. 00:33:35.98\00:33:39.68 Come on now. 00:33:39.71\00:33:41.68 Because it's not laid out in Scripture. 00:33:41.72\00:33:44.69 But yet there's emotions and feelings 00:33:44.72\00:33:46.65 and people telling you how good it is, 00:33:46.69\00:33:48.02 and you want to go that direction, 00:33:48.06\00:33:50.06 the very elect, the chosen of God. 00:33:50.09\00:33:52.19 We have too much of this, I think sometime in the world 00:33:57.30\00:33:59.50 and in the church. 00:33:59.53\00:34:01.80 Though we set our self up as judge 00:34:01.84\00:34:03.61 and jury and executioner. 00:34:03.64\00:34:06.88 And we, you know, we judge others by a standard 00:34:06.91\00:34:10.98 of our own devising. 00:34:11.01\00:34:13.85 Did you get it? 00:34:13.88\00:34:15.22 This is what we think, rather than 00:34:15.25\00:34:16.99 what God's Word said, we will be judged by what? 00:34:17.02\00:34:19.02 The perfect law of liberty in James, what is it? 2:10-12. 00:34:19.05\00:34:23.06 We'll all be judged by the perfect law of liberty. 00:34:23.09\00:34:26.16 The Ten Commandments law will be judged. 00:34:26.19\00:34:29.33 But remember, it doesn't save you but it points 00:34:29.36\00:34:30.70 out what sin is, this should drive you to Jesus to gain 00:34:30.73\00:34:33.07 the victory. 00:34:33.10\00:34:34.44 Let's go back to the beginning just a little bit here. 00:34:34.47\00:34:36.40 I'm going to ask you a question. 00:34:36.44\00:34:37.77 I'm going to challenge you a little bit with it here. 00:34:37.81\00:34:39.14 Adam and Eve. 00:34:39.17\00:34:40.68 Adam and Eve before the fall, before sin. 00:34:40.71\00:34:44.28 How would we classify them? 00:34:44.31\00:34:47.75 Good. We'll classify them as what? 00:34:47.78\00:34:50.89 Very, oh, we will classify Adam 00:34:50.92\00:34:53.02 and Eve before sin, isn't that right? 00:34:53.05\00:34:54.66 In the garden as perfect. 00:34:54.69\00:34:56.93 There was no sin. 00:34:56.96\00:34:58.29 They were the elect of God. 00:34:58.33\00:35:01.33 But notice, Matthew says, notice, shall deceive, 00:35:01.36\00:35:05.93 "If possible shall deceive the very elect." 00:35:05.97\00:35:09.50 Oh, come on, look at you here. 00:35:09.54\00:35:11.51 But think about it with me just a moment. 00:35:11.54\00:35:14.81 Adam and Eve, being the very elect of God, 00:35:14.84\00:35:18.28 but somehow the enemy came in, and he deceived them. 00:35:18.31\00:35:22.05 Hello? 00:35:22.08\00:35:24.02 Yeah, they were perfect though, weren't they? 00:35:24.05\00:35:26.29 They were perfect before sin. 00:35:26.32\00:35:28.29 I would say they were the very elect. 00:35:28.32\00:35:31.09 So when I read the passage, 00:35:31.13\00:35:32.46 like, shall deceive the very least. 00:35:32.49\00:35:34.10 I don't think myself as an elect. 00:35:34.13\00:35:35.53 But I think if I stay close to Jesus, 00:35:35.56\00:35:36.93 there ain't no way the devil gonna get me. 00:35:36.97\00:35:38.67 He said, whoo-whoo. Well, oh-oh. 00:35:38.70\00:35:42.84 You're just what I'm looking for? 00:35:42.87\00:35:45.34 That's what? 00:35:45.37\00:35:46.71 We need to be careful only by the grace of God, 00:35:46.74\00:35:48.58 isn't that right? 00:35:48.61\00:35:49.94 That we won't be deceived because the whole world 00:35:49.98\00:35:51.81 is going to be deceived. 00:35:51.85\00:35:53.21 He's not playing games. This is a real McCoy. 00:35:53.25\00:35:58.55 Somehow he deceived them into sin. 00:35:58.59\00:36:01.12 Now, how did the enemy get it done? 00:36:01.16\00:36:04.26 How did the enemy get this thing done? 00:36:04.29\00:36:06.83 Have you heard that old saying? 00:36:06.86\00:36:08.20 It's not maybe an old saying, 00:36:08.23\00:36:09.56 but it's something we use a lot in baseball. 00:36:09.60\00:36:11.30 John, he says three strikes and you're out. 00:36:11.33\00:36:13.84 John used to be an umpire, he say strike three you're out 00:36:13.87\00:36:16.14 and then they turned on him and wanted to beat him up 00:36:16.17\00:36:19.07 because he was the umpire and he called them out, 00:36:19.11\00:36:20.58 they didn't think it was a strike. 00:36:20.61\00:36:23.04 Three strikes and you're out. 00:36:23.08\00:36:25.81 The enemy used that a long time before baseball came in. 00:36:25.85\00:36:29.28 Let me tell you the three things 00:36:29.32\00:36:30.65 he used on this world 00:36:30.69\00:36:32.02 which started with Eve. 00:36:32.05\00:36:33.39 Very first thing was strike 00:36:33.42\00:36:34.76 one was this and, ladies, remember this, 00:36:34.79\00:36:37.89 because it's pointed to the ladies. 00:36:37.93\00:36:39.53 Are you still with me? 00:36:39.56\00:36:41.10 The very first err was 00:36:41.13\00:36:43.40 she wandered away from her husband. 00:36:43.43\00:36:47.04 Oh look at the long faces boy, oh boy, 00:36:47.07\00:36:49.17 oh boy. 00:36:49.20\00:36:50.81 It is what it is. It is what it is. 00:36:50.84\00:36:54.44 God said them, told them right there, 00:36:54.48\00:36:56.11 He gave them work and He said stay together. 00:36:56.14\00:36:59.05 And the world today is because we wander 00:36:59.08\00:37:01.68 in so many different directions. 00:37:01.72\00:37:03.89 That sometimes the ladies and in the men they're out 00:37:03.92\00:37:06.45 away from their partner a lot more than 00:37:06.49\00:37:08.02 they are with them. 00:37:08.06\00:37:09.39 And temptation is there and the devil is working. 00:37:09.42\00:37:13.56 God assigned, but here we realize Eve what? 00:37:13.60\00:37:17.83 She, what Eve did? 00:37:17.87\00:37:19.80 She gave into the enemy.

Disbelieved the Word. 00:40:41.07\00:40:42.70 If we just believe the Word of God, 00:40:42.74\00:40:44.44 it leads to our fall, 00:40:44.47\00:40:45.81 we have nothing else to stand on by faith. 00:40:45.84\00:40:47.88 We've heard people say, only believe. 00:40:47.91\00:40:50.75 Did you ever hear that? I like that. 00:40:50.78\00:40:52.35 Don't get me wrong. I want you to think with me. 00:40:52.38\00:40:54.58 Here people say, we don't have to be obedient to God, 00:40:54.62\00:40:56.58 we don't have to be obedient to anything, we don't... 00:40:56.62\00:40:58.39 Just believe. 00:40:58.42\00:40:59.75 Just believe that's, oh, it's very interesting. 00:40:59.79\00:41:02.19 Eve really believed 00:41:02.22\00:41:04.26 the Satan. 00:41:04.29\00:41:08.20 But her belief did not save her 00:41:08.23\00:41:11.20 from the penalty of sin. 00:41:11.23\00:41:13.17 Her what? Her belief. 00:41:13.20\00:41:15.84 She really believed what he said 00:41:15.87\00:41:17.24 or she wouldn't have done it. 00:41:17.27\00:41:19.57 But it didn't save her from the penalty, did it? 00:41:19.61\00:41:21.71 Which was death upon her, right? 00:41:21.74\00:41:23.71 And, of course, God had mercy and put them out 00:41:23.75\00:41:25.08 of the garden for a while. 00:41:25.11\00:41:27.78 So only believe is not enough. Praise God for it. 00:41:27.82\00:41:31.89 So again, whatever contradicts the Word of God, 00:41:31.92\00:41:33.56 we may be sure, comes from Satan. Why? 00:41:33.59\00:41:38.43 Because I've read enough times Isaiah 8:20. 00:41:38.46\00:41:41.90 Bible says, notice this, if you want to know 00:41:41.93\00:41:43.90 what truth is, it says, 00:41:43.93\00:41:45.27 "To the law and to the testimony 00:41:45.30\00:41:46.74 if it speaks not according to this 00:41:46.77\00:41:48.30 is because there is no light in them." 00:41:48.34\00:41:51.31 You can debate that all you want, 00:41:51.34\00:41:52.81 you can heap it up, you can try to cover over, 00:41:52.84\00:41:56.21 and truth is gonna surface back up. 00:41:56.24\00:41:58.55 The Bible says, to the law and to the testimony 00:41:58.58\00:42:01.02 of Jesus Christ, the life, the teachings 00:42:01.05\00:42:02.62 of Christ, His Word. 00:42:02.65\00:42:04.49 If they don't speak, if they say, 00:42:04.52\00:42:05.85 you don't have to worry about the law of God, 00:42:05.89\00:42:07.22 you don't worry about, you're in trouble to get rid 00:42:07.26\00:42:09.92 of that which points out where I err, 00:42:09.96\00:42:12.39 where I going wrong. 00:42:12.43\00:42:15.10 I need that. 00:42:15.13\00:42:16.46 Oh, there's those tin coke, 00:42:16.50\00:42:17.83 Kenny, you stole this, thou shall not steal. 00:42:17.87\00:42:19.73 No, that doesn't save me at all. 00:42:19.77\00:42:21.30 Being obedient that doesn't... Lord have mercy on me. 00:42:21.34\00:42:23.91 I'm sorry, I stole that. 00:42:23.94\00:42:25.91 I didn't know I wasn't supposed to steal. 00:42:25.94\00:42:27.28 Okay. 00:42:27.31\00:42:28.94 Law and the testimony is because there's no 00:42:28.98\00:42:30.95 light in them, be careful about saying 00:42:30.98\00:42:32.68 we don't have to be obedient, because you 00:42:32.71\00:42:35.08 have to do away with it. 00:42:35.12\00:42:36.45 That's just one of many, many dozens 00:42:36.48\00:42:37.82 and hundreds of passages. 00:42:37.85\00:42:39.25 Letter 42, 1909 says it. 00:42:39.29\00:42:41.66 "Satanic agencies," listen, we know this, 00:42:41.69\00:42:44.23 "Satanic agencies in human form 00:42:44.26\00:42:46.56 will take part in this last great conflict to oppose 00:42:46.59\00:42:49.90 the building up of the kingdom of God." 00:42:49.93\00:42:52.10 When we see the building up of the kingdom of God here, 00:42:52.13\00:42:54.37 all the other places around the world today, 00:42:54.40\00:42:56.47 the enemy is present. 00:42:56.50\00:42:58.67 Now notice how he shows up, 00:42:58.71\00:43:00.04 he doesn't show up in it with himself. 00:43:00.08\00:43:01.41 He shows up in the form of people. 00:43:01.44\00:43:03.78 He uses people who have not committed their life 00:43:03.81\00:43:06.98 and mind to Jesus Christ. 00:43:07.02\00:43:08.48 Does that make sense? 00:43:08.52\00:43:10.12 Sure, the devil himself is going to appear 00:43:10.15\00:43:12.29 as an angel of light. 00:43:12.32\00:43:13.66 Isn't that right? 00:43:13.69\00:43:15.02 Before Jesus come, he's going to claim to be Christ on earth. 00:43:15.06\00:43:16.62 And the whole world, the Bible says is gonna today, oh, my. 00:43:16.66\00:43:20.33 This is him. Surely, this is Jesus. 00:43:20.36\00:43:23.97 Absolutely. 00:43:24.00\00:43:26.30 Remember what happened to Eve happened to all 00:43:26.33\00:43:28.97 of us who choose to sin or transgress 00:43:29.00\00:43:31.94 the law of God. 00:43:31.97\00:43:34.54 Here's the sad part. 00:43:34.58\00:43:36.04 The one that she supposedly, 00:43:36.08\00:43:38.01 she's supposed to love God supremely, right? 00:43:38.05\00:43:40.28 But that happened not to be. 00:43:40.32\00:43:43.18 Are you still with me? She made another choice. 00:43:43.22\00:43:46.19 But second we'd say in line 00:43:46.22\00:43:47.86 was she would still love her husband. 00:43:47.89\00:43:51.86 Oh, some of you women, my lands, 00:43:51.89\00:43:53.23 somebody stand and shout. 00:43:53.26\00:43:54.86 Man, oh, man, look, you're gonna love your husband. 00:43:54.90\00:43:59.10 Isn't that, right? 00:43:59.13\00:44:00.90 That's only where in the Bible he said, 00:44:00.94\00:44:02.30 well, I have children, nor I have grandchildren, 00:44:02.34\00:44:03.71 I love them all. 00:44:03.74\00:44:05.71 Bible said husband and wife when they become married, 00:44:05.74\00:44:08.21 Brother Mark, they become one. 00:44:08.24\00:44:10.38 It doesn't say that about any other. 00:44:10.41\00:44:12.48 Do they, does it?

00:53:51.79\00:53:54.46 What will we do? 00:53:54.50\00:53:57.00 The enemy is to trying to enslave your conscience. 00:53:57.03\00:54:02.24 That's exactly as we read in the Word of God. 00:54:02.27\00:54:05.67 Because the Christian world is making movements right now 00:54:05.71\00:54:09.48 is going through, there's movement right now 00:54:09.51\00:54:11.21 that's going to bring the commandment keeping people 00:54:11.25\00:54:13.31 you will live to see it, no doubt, 00:54:13.35\00:54:15.68 people into prominence. 00:54:15.72\00:54:17.92 Movements are being set right now to enslave 00:54:17.95\00:54:20.36 the conscience of those who would be loyal to God. 00:54:20.39\00:54:23.43 Will you be loyal to God? 00:54:23.46\00:54:25.36 The lawmaking powers will be against God's people. 00:54:25.39\00:54:28.90 Every soul will be tested. 00:54:28.93\00:54:31.73 Where are you going to stand? 00:54:31.77\00:54:33.34 Where am I gonna stand? 00:54:33.37\00:54:35.17 We've got to stand on the side of Christ, isn't that right? 00:54:35.20\00:54:38.34 Now I think this, probably subject deserves 00:54:38.37\00:54:40.51 more time as we go in and try to describe many of the things 00:54:40.54\00:54:44.81 we just talked about, whether it's NLP, 00:54:44.85\00:54:47.15 whether it's, you know, formation and all this business 00:54:47.18\00:54:49.78 we need to go into it, all the prayers, 00:54:49.82\00:54:51.82 different things, because you will 00:54:51.85\00:54:53.19 see them happening right out in the open. 00:54:53.22\00:54:56.09 And you know what? 00:54:56.12\00:54:57.46 People just accept, we just accept that 00:54:57.49\00:54:58.93 as the people we just don't see anything anymore. 00:54:58.96\00:55:02.36 Remember, where it came from? 00:55:02.40\00:55:03.90 And how it's established and how it came in? 00:55:03.93\00:55:06.43 We need to look at it closely and say God, do we, 00:55:06.47\00:55:08.54 we want to worship the way You said in Your Word. 00:55:08.57\00:55:10.91 We want to get back to the old pass. 00:55:10.94\00:55:13.34 How many like to say to me, by God's grace, 00:55:13.38\00:55:14.84 I want to get back to the old path. 00:55:14.88\00:55:16.44 I don't need all the new stuff going on, isn't that right? 00:55:16.48\00:55:18.98 I need to just follow the Word of God 00:55:19.01\00:55:21.08 and He will be faithful to us. 00:55:21.12\00:55:22.48 Let's pray, shall we? 00:55:22.52\00:55:25.62 Loving Father in heaven, 00:55:25.65\00:55:26.99 truly we thank You for Your Word. 00:55:27.02\00:55:28.36 Thank You that You continue to bring out many 00:55:28.39\00:55:30.83 of these things which happened several years ago that many 00:55:30.86\00:55:34.13 people who've come in the last 20-30 years, 00:55:34.16\00:55:35.80 they have no idea what's going on. 00:55:35.83\00:55:37.80 But, Lord, they can't help that, we realize, 00:55:37.83\00:55:39.80 but it's up to Your people to say, 00:55:39.83\00:55:41.30 hey, this is what's going. 00:55:41.34\00:55:42.67 Why are we worshipping the way that we are?
