This program was
originally planned
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
for the great Manila programs.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.53
But with the pandemic,
00:00:04.57\00:00:05.93
John Carter brings this teaching
00:00:05.97\00:00:08.00
on the occult from
his studio in Los Angeles.
00:00:08.04\00:00:11.97
John Carter will now
bring out into the open,
00:00:12.01\00:00:15.01
the secretive and
hidden world of the occult.
00:00:15.04\00:00:18.65
Hi friend, I'm John Carter.
00:00:23.22\00:00:25.25
Today we're talking
00:00:25.29\00:00:26.62
about the strange
world of the occult.
00:00:26.65\00:00:29.12
I want to give a special welcome
00:00:29.16\00:00:30.66
to our viewers in
the great land of India.
00:00:30.69\00:00:34.23
And I'll have
some special things
00:00:34.26\00:00:35.60
to say to you
00:00:35.63\00:00:36.97
as we move along
in the program today.
00:00:37.00\00:00:39.43
But firstly,
00:00:39.47\00:00:41.17
I want to take you back
00:00:41.20\00:00:42.54
to my boyhood days in Australia,
00:00:42.57\00:00:46.27
when I grew up in
the city of Brisbane.
00:00:46.31\00:00:50.15
When I was a
teenager of 16 years of age,
00:00:50.18\00:00:53.82
and as they used
to say in those days,
00:00:53.85\00:00:56.28
kicking over the traces,
00:00:56.32\00:00:59.69
that's what city
horses used to do.
00:00:59.72\00:01:01.92
But when I was 16 years of age
00:01:01.96\00:01:04.13
and rebelling
against the government
00:01:04.16\00:01:05.79
and the church and my
parents and everybody else,
00:01:05.83\00:01:09.60
my mates and I decided
00:01:09.63\00:01:10.97
one night to go
along to a seance.
00:01:11.00\00:01:14.64
You know what a
seance is, don't you?
00:01:14.67\00:01:17.24
A seance is when
you try to contact
00:01:17.27\00:01:21.01
the spirits of the dead.
00:01:21.04\00:01:24.38
This is something
00:01:24.41\00:01:25.75
only a silly
16-year old boy would do,
00:01:25.78\00:01:29.28
I would think.
00:01:29.32\00:01:31.35
And so we tried to
go along to that seance,
00:01:31.39\00:01:33.79
but we lost our way,
and we couldn't get there.
00:01:33.82\00:01:37.63
But the thoughts of the spirits
were running through my mind.
00:01:37.66\00:01:42.80
As I went home that night,
00:01:42.83\00:01:45.20
ours was a new home
in a new development,
00:01:45.23\00:01:48.17
and lots of the homes
are still being built,
00:01:48.20\00:01:51.77
and most of the homes,
of course, were vacant.
00:01:51.81\00:01:56.38
When I got into my house
late at night, about 11:30.
00:01:56.41\00:02:01.12
In those days
11:30 was very, very late
00:02:01.15\00:02:07.12
for a 16-year-old boy
growing up in Australia.
00:02:07.16\00:02:12.39
Went to the bathroom,
00:02:12.43\00:02:14.06
brush my teeth,
went and got into bed.
00:02:14.10\00:02:19.83
My father had put a
big lock on the back door.
00:02:19.87\00:02:24.81
It wasn't just the
ordinary sort of lock
00:02:24.84\00:02:27.64
that the house came
with, but it was a big bolt.
00:02:27.68\00:02:32.11
Because my father was afraid
00:02:32.15\00:02:34.05
that there may be
people going around,
00:02:34.08\00:02:37.65
breaking into these houses
that were not yet finished.
00:02:37.69\00:02:41.56
He was a little bit nervous,
00:02:41.59\00:02:42.92
so he puts this big
bolt on the back door.
00:02:42.96\00:02:45.79
I get into bed
00:02:45.83\00:02:49.90
and I feel and I hear the wind
00:02:49.93\00:02:52.43
blowing through the house.
00:02:52.47\00:02:55.50
I get up
00:02:55.54\00:02:57.04
and the back door
is blowing in the wind,
00:02:57.07\00:03:00.91
and the lock is
still in its place.
00:03:00.94\00:03:05.55
This happens all
through the night.
00:03:05.58\00:03:08.12
I hear my father
getting out of bed.
00:03:08.15\00:03:10.29
He goes and he locks the door.
00:03:10.32\00:03:12.35
And in the morning at breakfast,
00:03:12.39\00:03:13.92
he says to us all,
to my mother and to me,
00:03:13.96\00:03:17.96
"Something strange is
happening in this house."
00:03:17.99\00:03:21.86
And my mother
says, "What do you mean?"
00:03:21.90\00:03:25.20
"Well, the back
door that was bolted
00:03:25.23\00:03:27.24
kept opening during
the night by itself."
00:03:27.27\00:03:32.37
And then my mother drops
the bombshell and she says,
00:03:32.41\00:03:35.81
"It's almost as
though we have a sympathizer
00:03:35.84\00:03:40.08
with the evil spirits."
00:03:40.12\00:03:42.32
And then I confessed.
00:03:42.35\00:03:46.15
It made me start to think
00:03:46.19\00:03:47.79
there was
something in it that was true
00:03:47.82\00:03:50.63
about the
existence of evil spirits.
00:03:50.66\00:03:56.00
Then later on when
I was a young pastor,
00:03:56.03\00:03:59.53
we were living in a
place north of Sydney
00:03:59.57\00:04:02.60
by the name of Woy Woy.
00:04:02.64\00:04:05.51
There was a lady
coming to the meetings
00:04:05.54\00:04:07.38
and she said to me,
00:04:07.41\00:04:08.74
"Can you come because I'm having
00:04:08.78\00:04:10.35
terrible, terrible
things happen in my house."
00:04:10.38\00:04:14.85
And so with a
dear friend of mine,
00:04:14.88\00:04:16.89
Dr. John Hammond,
we went to her house,
00:04:16.92\00:04:20.46
and she told us the story.
00:04:20.49\00:04:23.26
As soon as we
went into the house,
00:04:23.29\00:04:25.99
the hair on the
back of my neck stood up.
00:04:26.03\00:04:31.33
And then she told me
of the terrible things,
00:04:31.37\00:04:34.07
how the curtain rods
would fly around the room,
00:04:34.10\00:04:37.91
and how at night,
00:04:37.94\00:04:39.51
a being like a man
would get into bed with her
00:04:39.54\00:04:43.58
and seize her by the throat.
00:04:43.61\00:04:47.62
And then she told me
00:04:47.65\00:04:48.98
how she had left
the faith of the Bible,
00:04:49.02\00:04:52.29
and she had become involved
00:04:52.32\00:04:54.79
in the sinister world
00:04:54.82\00:04:58.19
of the occult.
00:04:58.23\00:05:02.53
My friend, it happens.
00:05:02.56\00:05:06.10
That woman had opened the
door and the spirits had come in
00:05:06.13\00:05:12.07
by my going to seance
so trying to in Brisbane,
00:05:12.11\00:05:16.95
I had opened the locked door.
00:05:16.98\00:05:22.25
Today, we're going to
talk about the occult.
00:05:22.28\00:05:26.22
We're going to talk
00:05:26.25\00:05:27.59
about the unseen
world of unclean spirits.
00:05:27.62\00:05:33.83
Demons from the bottomless pit.
00:05:33.86\00:05:36.77
Are you with me today?
00:05:36.80\00:05:38.53
Are you listening?
00:05:38.57\00:05:40.04
I've got some amazing
things to tell you today.
00:05:40.07\00:05:44.87
And I want to say
00:05:44.91\00:05:46.24
a very special
welcome to all of you,
00:05:46.27\00:05:48.54
but especially to
my friends in India,
00:05:48.58\00:05:52.28
which is filled, they
believe, with spirits.
00:05:52.31\00:05:57.52
I'm going to tell you
now the story of Kings Saul,
00:05:57.55\00:06:01.56
the witch of Endor and
the dead Prophet Samuel.
00:06:01.59\00:06:07.23
I'm going to take my Bible.
00:06:07.26\00:06:09.30
And I'm going to turn over here.
00:06:09.33\00:06:11.20
Let me see, give me a
minute, to 1 Samuel 28:3.
00:06:11.23\00:06:18.04
And if you've got a Bible,
get it and notice it with me.
00:06:18.07\00:06:22.41
1 Samuel 28:3,
00:06:22.44\00:06:24.75
"Now Samuel had died,
00:06:24.78\00:06:29.25
and all Israel
had lamented for him
00:06:29.28\00:06:31.85
and buried him in
Ramah, in his own city.
00:06:31.89\00:06:36.42
And Saul, that's the king,
00:06:36.46\00:06:38.66
had put away the mediums
00:06:38.69\00:06:40.70
and the
spiritists out of the land."
00:06:40.73\00:06:43.50
Now we have a
number of truths here,
00:06:43.53\00:06:46.23
my friend.
00:06:46.27\00:06:47.94
Samuel was dead, and
if he's dead, he's dead.
00:06:47.97\00:06:52.87
And the Bible tells us
that the king of Israel,
00:06:52.91\00:06:56.11
as the leader of the nation
00:06:56.14\00:06:58.18
had abolished the
mediums and the spiritists.
00:06:58.21\00:07:03.12
And you say to me,
00:07:03.15\00:07:04.49
why would the king
ever do such a thing?
00:07:04.52\00:07:06.76
Because, my friend,
00:07:06.79\00:07:08.12
the mediums and the spiritists
00:07:08.16\00:07:10.93
belong to the
sinister world of the occult.
00:07:10.96\00:07:16.20
Now I want you to
notice something very plainly.
00:07:16.23\00:07:20.34
The Bible says, now
please listen to me.
00:07:20.37\00:07:23.07
The Bible says,
the prophet is dead.
00:07:23.10\00:07:27.28
Did you get that?
The prophet is dead.
00:07:27.31\00:07:30.08
And the Bible also says
that the dead are sleeping,
00:07:30.11\00:07:34.78
and they cannot be contacted.
00:07:34.82\00:07:37.62
We cannot contact them
and they cannot contact us.
00:07:37.65\00:07:42.12
Are you listening to me?
00:07:42.16\00:07:44.29
So the prophet is dead.
00:07:44.33\00:07:48.03
Don't forget it.
00:07:48.06\00:07:49.60
Now I'm going to come over
here to the words of Christ.
00:07:49.63\00:07:53.10
Over here to John 11:11
00:07:53.13\00:07:58.97
and 14
00:07:59.01\00:08:00.98
which talks about the
death of a very, very good man.
00:08:01.01\00:08:06.55
His name is Lazarus.
00:08:06.58\00:08:09.75
And like the Prophet
Samuel, Lazarus is dead.
00:08:09.78\00:08:14.59
And Jesus talks about
the state of the dead.
00:08:14.62\00:08:19.46
Now, verse 11, John 11,
00:08:19.49\00:08:21.96
"These things He said,
00:08:22.00\00:08:24.27
and after that He said to them,
00:08:24.30\00:08:26.30
'Our friend Lazarus sleeps,
00:08:26.33\00:08:30.87
but I go that I
may wake him up.'"
00:08:30.91\00:08:32.87
He says, he's sleeping.
00:08:32.91\00:08:36.14
And verse 14,
00:08:36.18\00:08:37.51
"Then Jesus
said to them plainly,
00:08:37.55\00:08:40.05
'Lazarus is dead.'"
00:08:40.08\00:08:41.68
What's so hard about this?
00:08:41.72\00:08:44.05
It fails me to understand
what is hard about this.
00:08:44.09\00:08:48.32
Jesus said,
"Lazarus is sleeping.
00:08:48.36\00:08:51.46
Lazarus is dead."
00:08:51.49\00:08:53.63
Therefore, the
dead are sleeping.
00:08:53.66\00:08:56.53
That's what Jesus said.
00:08:56.56\00:08:57.97
Now you're going to say to me,
00:08:58.00\00:08:59.33
this goes
against all the preachers
00:08:59.37\00:09:01.07
in North America,
00:09:01.10\00:09:02.44
all the
preachers around the world,
00:09:02.47\00:09:04.11
they say the dead
are very much awake.
00:09:04.14\00:09:07.94
Well, let me tell you
something with all respects,
00:09:07.98\00:09:10.68
I would prefer to
believe the words of Christ.
00:09:10.71\00:09:14.85
The Bible says,
Lazarus is sleeping.
00:09:14.88\00:09:18.32
Lazarus is dead.
00:09:18.35\00:09:20.46
So I'm wanting to tell
you a great truth today
00:09:20.49\00:09:24.13
and that is this,
00:09:24.16\00:09:25.49
that the dead are not conscious,
00:09:25.53\00:09:27.76
but the dead are sleeping,
00:09:27.80\00:09:30.47
awaiting the resurrection.
00:09:30.50\00:09:36.50
There was a little
boy who lost his daddy.
00:09:36.54\00:09:41.31
And he was
heartbroken with his mommy.
00:09:41.34\00:09:44.38
He went to his
mommy and he said,
00:09:44.41\00:09:46.61
"Where is daddy?
00:09:46.65\00:09:47.98
What's going to
happen to daddy?"
00:09:48.02\00:09:50.79
And she said to him
and she was a believer.
00:09:50.82\00:09:53.25
She believed in Christ,
and she believed in the Bible.
00:09:53.29\00:09:57.19
She said, "You know, Jimmy,
when you have played all day,
00:09:57.23\00:10:03.43
you get so, so very tired.
00:10:03.47\00:10:07.64
You've been
playing out in the sun,
00:10:07.67\00:10:09.20
it's summertime,
the good old summertime.
00:10:09.24\00:10:12.64
And then I call
you in for dinner.
00:10:12.67\00:10:15.41
And when you used
to come in for dinner,
00:10:15.44\00:10:18.18
we're talking about
when daddy was alive,
00:10:18.21\00:10:21.08
you'd sit at the table.
00:10:21.12\00:10:22.98
And as we had dinner together,
you would be nodding off.
00:10:23.02\00:10:29.12
And soon you were
just going to sleep
00:10:29.16\00:10:31.19
and your daddy would pick you up
00:10:31.23\00:10:33.60
and he'd carry
you into the bedroom.
00:10:33.63\00:10:36.00
He'd put your pajamas on,
and you would be sound asleep.
00:10:36.03\00:10:40.57
You would be unconscious
until there was a new day
00:10:40.60\00:10:47.01
and the sun was
streaming through the windows."
00:10:47.04\00:10:53.98
She said, "Your daddy,
your daddy is sleeping."
00:10:54.02\00:11:00.52
But the day is coming
00:11:00.56\00:11:01.89
when Jesus is going to come back
00:11:01.92\00:11:03.89
and the sun is
going to be streaming
00:11:03.93\00:11:07.63
through the windows.
00:11:07.66\00:11:09.46
I want you to
know this, my friend,
00:11:09.50\00:11:11.27
death is not the end.
00:11:11.30\00:11:12.97
Are you listening to me?
00:11:13.00\00:11:14.40
I want you to know
this, death is not the end.
00:11:14.44\00:11:18.34
The Bible says Lazarus is dead.
00:11:18.37\00:11:21.18
Lazarus is sleeping.
00:11:21.21\00:11:22.61
So I hope we have
established this truth
00:11:22.64\00:11:25.61
that the Prophet
Samuel was dead and therefore,
00:11:25.65\00:11:28.78
the Prophet Samuel was sleeping.
00:11:28.82\00:11:32.05
Now we come back
to 1 Samuel 28:3,
00:11:32.09\00:11:37.06
"Now Samuel had died,
00:11:37.09\00:11:40.50
and all Israel
had lamented for him
00:11:40.53\00:11:44.00
and buried him in
Ramah, in his own city.
00:11:44.03\00:11:48.80
And Saul had put the
mediums and the spiritists
00:11:48.84\00:11:51.37
out of the land."
00:11:51.41\00:11:52.74
Because the
mediums and the spiritists
00:11:52.77\00:11:55.18
belonged to the
sinister world of the occult.
00:11:55.21\00:11:59.01
But the text says he's dead.
00:11:59.05\00:12:03.62
Samuel is dead,
therefore Samuel is sleeping.
00:12:03.65\00:12:07.52
Therefore Samuel is unconscious.
00:12:07.56\00:12:10.76
And even though this
is politically incorrect,
00:12:10.79\00:12:13.83
I'm going to give it to you
00:12:13.86\00:12:15.40
straight as I
can give it to you.
00:12:15.43\00:12:17.83
Here is the great major truth.
00:12:17.87\00:12:19.80
The dead cannot be contacted.
00:12:19.83\00:12:22.60
Hey, are you listening to me?
00:12:22.64\00:12:24.17
My friends in India,
are you listening to me?
00:12:24.21\00:12:27.04
My friends in Australia,
are you listening to me?
00:12:27.08\00:12:30.08
My friends in Great Britain,
are you listening to me?
00:12:30.11\00:12:33.38
The Bible says the
dead cannot be contacted.
00:12:33.42\00:12:37.75
Now,
00:12:37.79\00:12:39.89
mediums and spiritists
were banned in Israel.
00:12:39.92\00:12:44.06
Why?
00:12:44.09\00:12:45.43
Let me tell it to you again,
00:12:45.46\00:12:47.06
because they belong to
the evil sinister world
00:12:47.10\00:12:50.27
of the occult.
00:12:50.30\00:12:51.73
And if you're going to
a medium or a spiritist,
00:12:51.77\00:12:55.04
you are playing with the devil.
00:12:55.07\00:13:00.38
You hear me?
00:13:00.41\00:13:03.28
Yes, there are
mediums and spiritists today,
00:13:03.31\00:13:06.28
people think they're contacting
their dead loved ones.
00:13:06.31\00:13:09.92
There are people playing
around with Ouija boards.
00:13:09.95\00:13:13.39
Now let's get back
to the story of Samuel.
00:13:16.49\00:13:20.93
Because King Saul is
in awful, awful trouble.
00:13:20.96\00:13:26.70
He's turned away from God.
00:13:26.74\00:13:30.21
And in his desperation,
00:13:30.24\00:13:32.31
he goes along
00:13:32.34\00:13:34.11
and he consults a
medium or a spiritist.
00:13:34.14\00:13:40.98
You know,
curiosity killed the cat.
00:13:41.02\00:13:43.89
It almost killed me in Brisbane,
00:13:43.92\00:13:46.79
when we were off
to see a spiritist.
00:13:46.82\00:13:50.49
But now the king
of Israel, my friend,
00:13:50.53\00:13:53.09
because he has so much pain
00:13:53.13\00:13:56.73
and so much anguish
and so much despair,
00:13:56.77\00:14:02.17
he goes to see a medium.
00:14:02.20\00:14:07.21
I read verse 7
and 8, verse 7 and 8,
00:14:07.24\00:14:12.41
"Then Saul said to his servants,
00:14:12.45\00:14:14.18
'Find me a
woman who is a medium,
00:14:14.22\00:14:17.89
that I may go to
her and inquire of her.'
00:14:17.92\00:14:21.02
And his servants said to him,
00:14:21.06\00:14:22.49
'In fact, there is a woman
who is a medium at En Dor.'
00:14:22.52\00:14:27.60
So Saul disguised himself
and put on other clothes,
00:14:27.63\00:14:30.87
and he went, and
two men with him,
00:14:30.90\00:14:33.74
and they came to
the woman by night.
00:14:33.77\00:14:36.81
And he said,
00:14:36.84\00:14:38.17
'Please conduct a seance for me,
00:14:38.21\00:14:40.34
and bring up for me the
one I shall name to you.'"
00:14:40.38\00:14:44.48
Now, listen to me.
00:14:44.51\00:14:46.98
I'm totally, perfectly aware
00:14:47.02\00:14:50.49
that there are multitudes
of people in Great Britain,
00:14:50.52\00:14:53.82
in Australia and in America
00:14:53.86\00:14:56.42
in their despair
00:14:56.46\00:14:58.19
are going to see
mediums and spiritists
00:14:58.23\00:15:03.67
because they want a
message from the dead,
00:15:03.70\00:15:06.07
they want a message of hope.
00:15:06.10\00:15:09.04
Have you ever been?
00:15:09.07\00:15:10.74
If you have, my friend,
you're playing with the devil,
00:15:10.77\00:15:12.94
I'm telling you.
00:15:12.97\00:15:14.31
Now we're going to read,
00:15:14.34\00:15:15.68
now let me see
now verse 11 and 12,
00:15:15.71\00:15:19.65
I think.
00:15:19.68\00:15:21.95
So there he is with the woman.
00:15:21.98\00:15:23.62
"Then the woman said,
00:15:23.65\00:15:25.19
'Whom shall I bring up for you?'
00:15:25.22\00:15:28.92
And he said,
'Bring up Samuel for me.'
00:15:28.96\00:15:33.73
When the woman saw Samuel,
00:15:33.76\00:15:35.46
she cried out with a loud voice.
00:15:35.50\00:15:37.63
And the woman
spoke to Saul, saying,
00:15:37.67\00:15:39.80
'Why have you deceived me?
00:15:39.83\00:15:42.97
For you are Saul!'"
00:15:43.00\00:15:46.31
There he is, the king of Israel.
00:15:46.34\00:15:50.31
He's with a spiritist.
00:15:50.35\00:15:53.21
The king of Israel
00:15:53.25\00:15:54.58
who should have
been a follower of God,
00:15:54.62\00:15:56.08
he says, "I'm so desperate,
00:15:56.12\00:15:58.09
God is not talking to me.
00:15:58.12\00:16:00.06
I want to talk to
Samuel because he's a prophet."
00:16:00.09\00:16:04.23
And so the woman
brings up an apparition,
00:16:04.26\00:16:08.96
a thing that is
like the prophet.
00:16:09.00\00:16:12.80
Now if you notice,
verse 11 and 12, Let me see,
00:16:12.83\00:16:19.57
I think no, 13 and 14,
00:16:19.61\00:16:23.95
verse 13, for a start.
00:16:23.98\00:16:27.88
"The king said to
her, 'Do not be afraid.
00:16:27.92\00:16:32.59
What did you see?'
00:16:32.62\00:16:34.62
The woman said to Saul,
00:16:34.66\00:16:36.49
'I saw a spirit
00:16:36.52\00:16:40.03
ascending out of the earth.'"
00:16:40.06\00:16:43.63
Now it's apparent
00:16:43.67\00:16:45.27
that the king of this
state hasn't seen this thing.
00:16:45.30\00:16:50.71
But in these seance chamber,
the witch brings up a being,
00:16:50.74\00:16:57.68
it is a spirit being.
00:16:57.71\00:17:02.08
This leads to the doom
and the damnation of the king.
00:17:02.12\00:17:06.65
Now, verse 14 and
15 of the same chapter,
00:17:06.69\00:17:12.93
dear friends and gentle
hearts, look at the text.
00:17:12.96\00:17:16.80
So he said to her,
00:17:16.83\00:17:18.17
this is the king
of Israel talking.
00:17:18.20\00:17:19.53
"He said to her,
'What is his form?'
00:17:19.57\00:17:23.41
And she said,
00:17:23.44\00:17:24.94
'An old man is coming up,
00:17:24.97\00:17:28.84
and he is
covered with a mantle.'
00:17:28.88\00:17:32.61
And Saul perceived
that it was Samuel,
00:17:32.65\00:17:35.75
and he stooped with
his face to the ground
00:17:35.78\00:17:40.02
and bowed down.'"
00:17:40.06\00:17:42.66
And I think we'll
have verse 15 also.
00:17:42.69\00:17:46.96
"Now Samuel said to Saul,
00:17:47.00\00:17:48.60
'Why have you
disturbed me by bringing me up?'
00:17:48.63\00:17:53.23
And Saul answered,
00:17:53.27\00:17:54.60
'I am deeply distressed,
00:17:54.64\00:17:56.67
for the Philistines
make war against me,
00:17:56.71\00:18:00.31
and God has departed from
me, does not answer me anymore,
00:18:00.34\00:18:04.55
neither by
prophets nor by dreams.
00:18:04.58\00:18:07.12
Therefore I have called you,
00:18:07.15\00:18:09.28
that you should reveal
to me what I should do.'"
00:18:09.32\00:18:14.16
Now, listen, please.
00:18:14.19\00:18:16.93
We've got to get
this clear in our minds.
00:18:16.96\00:18:21.00
This being doesn't
come down from heaven.
00:18:21.03\00:18:24.77
Now most of the theologians
00:18:24.80\00:18:26.33
and most of the
preachers will tell you
00:18:26.37\00:18:28.10
that the dead go up to heaven,
00:18:28.14\00:18:30.21
so Samuel ought
to be up in heaven.
00:18:30.24\00:18:32.81
Is that plain
or is it not plain?
00:18:32.84\00:18:35.04
Of course, it's plain.
00:18:35.08\00:18:36.78
But this creature
doesn't come down from glory.
00:18:36.81\00:18:41.48
This being comes up
from the bottomless pit,
00:18:41.52\00:18:47.02
and so this is not
the Prophet Samuel.
00:18:47.06\00:18:50.86
And when this being
first manifests himself,
00:18:50.89\00:18:54.20
the king has not seen it,
00:18:54.23\00:18:56.36
but he perceives with his mind
00:18:56.40\00:18:59.27
that this is the
prophet of God himself.
00:18:59.30\00:19:03.67
What a deception.
00:19:03.71\00:19:05.04
And the
so-called Prophet Samuel,
00:19:07.78\00:19:09.68
who was actually
a demon in disguise.
00:19:09.71\00:19:14.45
Did you get this,
a demon in disguise.
00:19:14.48\00:19:18.39
This is not the Prophet Samuel.
00:19:18.42\00:19:20.36
This is indeed, my
friend, wait for it,
00:19:20.39\00:19:24.49
this is a masquerading spirit
00:19:24.53\00:19:29.86
from the underworld,
00:19:29.90\00:19:33.44
but the king is taken in,
00:19:33.47\00:19:35.27
just like many people
are being taken in today,
00:19:35.30\00:19:38.31
in America, in Australia,
00:19:38.34\00:19:40.48
in Great Britain
around the world,
00:19:40.51\00:19:42.61
and especially in
parts of the Orient,
00:19:42.64\00:19:48.65
where they think
they're actually speaking
00:19:48.68\00:19:50.72
to the spirits
of their dead ones.
00:19:50.75\00:19:53.66
They think they're
talking to the people
00:19:53.69\00:19:56.59
they love with all their hearts,
00:19:56.62\00:19:58.49
and they're
expecting a message from God,
00:19:58.53\00:20:01.06
but no.
00:20:01.10\00:20:02.90
It is indeed a
being that has come
00:20:02.93\00:20:06.63
from the recesses
of the bottomless pit,
00:20:06.67\00:20:11.01
it has come from hell.
00:20:11.04\00:20:15.14
And so the king
talks to this being.
00:20:15.18\00:20:19.65
So let me make this
very, very plain to you,
00:20:19.68\00:20:23.05
dear friends and gentle people,
00:20:23.08\00:20:24.85
I want to make
this plain if I can.
00:20:24.89\00:20:27.36
I tell you,
00:20:27.39\00:20:28.72
this is not the
prophet of God who is dead.
00:20:28.76\00:20:30.99
Remember what Jesus said,
00:20:31.03\00:20:32.36
"Lazarus is
sleeping, Lazarus is dead."
00:20:32.39\00:20:35.86
When are we going to
follow the words of Christ?
00:20:35.90\00:20:38.53
When are we going to
follow the scriptures?
00:20:38.57\00:20:41.00
Jesus said to them,
00:20:41.04\00:20:42.37
"Lazarus is
sleeping, Lazarus is dead."
00:20:42.40\00:20:45.91
So what about Samuel?
00:20:45.94\00:20:47.51
Samuel is
sleeping, Samuel is dead.
00:20:47.54\00:20:51.68
And a sleeping
man is unconscious.
00:20:51.71\00:20:54.85
You can't communicate
with the sleeping man.
00:20:54.88\00:20:58.12
This prophet is dead.
00:20:58.15\00:21:00.29
This prophet is dead,
00:21:00.32\00:21:01.86
awaiting the great resurrection.
00:21:01.89\00:21:05.29
But then this being
that is masquerading
00:21:05.33\00:21:08.66
as the dead prophet
brings a message of doom
00:21:08.70\00:21:13.60
to King Saul.
00:21:13.64\00:21:16.14
Now I want you to
notice a text over here,
00:21:16.17\00:21:19.71
dear hearts and gentle people.
00:21:19.74\00:21:22.44
2 Corinthians Chapter 11
00:21:22.48\00:21:27.42
and I got 1 Corinthians,
00:21:27.45\00:21:30.49
I'm getting hard,
00:21:30.52\00:21:31.85
2 Corinthians
00:21:31.89\00:21:33.22
11:14,
00:21:33.25\00:21:38.79
and it says,
00:21:38.83\00:21:40.83
"And no wonder!
00:21:40.86\00:21:44.17
Satan himself transforms himself
00:21:44.20\00:21:48.94
into an angel of light."
00:21:48.97\00:21:52.44
The word of the Lord
by the great Apostle Paul.
00:21:52.47\00:21:56.38
Now, my friends, I
just want you to hear me.
00:21:56.41\00:22:00.15
If you could
see the devil today,
00:22:00.18\00:22:02.82
he would not be
a hideous creature.
00:22:02.85\00:22:05.72
He would be the most perfect,
the most beautiful being
00:22:05.75\00:22:09.49
that you would ever seen.
00:22:09.52\00:22:11.49
He would be clothed
with splendor and glory.
00:22:11.53\00:22:15.16
He would have a
fascinating personality.
00:22:15.20\00:22:19.07
He would have such a
charismatic personality,
00:22:19.10\00:22:23.87
that you will
just hang on his words.
00:22:23.91\00:22:27.08
He would be the
greatest of all deceivers.
00:22:27.11\00:22:31.38
Now, listen to me.
00:22:31.41\00:22:32.75
I don't want you to forget this.
00:22:32.78\00:22:34.12
Everybody listening.
00:22:34.15\00:22:35.85
The Bible tells
me that evil spirits,
00:22:35.88\00:22:40.72
is anybody listening?
00:22:40.76\00:22:42.86
The Bible tells me,
00:22:42.89\00:22:44.76
would you just
open up your ears,
00:22:44.79\00:22:46.83
my friend, the Bible tells me,
00:22:46.86\00:22:49.40
the Word of God tells me
00:22:49.43\00:22:52.53
that the devil and
his hosts of evil angels,
00:22:52.57\00:22:58.24
evil spirits can
impersonate the dead.
00:22:58.27\00:23:04.25
So if you think
00:23:04.28\00:23:05.61
you're going to
a seance chamber,
00:23:05.65\00:23:07.62
and you're talking
to your beloved dead,
00:23:07.65\00:23:10.35
I want you to know,
00:23:10.39\00:23:11.75
you are being
deceived by an evil spirit.
00:23:11.79\00:23:17.06
This is the word of the Lord.
00:23:17.09\00:23:21.33
And so Samuel,
hey, this is not Samuel.
00:23:21.36\00:23:26.80
This is an evil spirit,
00:23:26.84\00:23:30.47
and he is
deceiving the king of Israel.
00:23:30.51\00:23:34.08
And the message he
gets from this demon
00:23:34.11\00:23:36.88
is so catastrophic
00:23:36.91\00:23:39.01
that the king
falls down prostate.
00:23:39.05\00:23:42.75
Now, 1 Samuel 28:20
00:23:42.78\00:23:48.52
and then 24 and 25.
00:23:48.56\00:23:51.23
It says after this
encounter with this demon,
00:23:51.26\00:23:56.06
"Immediately Saul fell
full length on the ground,
00:23:56.10\00:23:59.80
and was dreadfully afraid,"
00:23:59.83\00:24:01.44
you will be afraid too
if you go to a spiritist,
00:24:01.47\00:24:04.54
"because of the words of Samuel.
00:24:04.57\00:24:06.57
And there was
no strength in him,
00:24:06.61\00:24:08.48
he had eaten no
food all day or night.
00:24:08.51\00:24:10.38
So he's prostrate, he collapses.
00:24:10.41\00:24:13.28
He's overwhelmed.
He's just, he's in despair.
00:24:13.31\00:24:16.32
And verse 24, and 25.
00:24:16.35\00:24:18.95
"Now the woman had a
fatted calf in the house,
00:24:18.99\00:24:22.76
and she hastened to kill it.
00:24:22.79\00:24:24.26
And she took
flour and kneaded it,
00:24:24.29\00:24:25.89
and baked
unleavened bread from it.
00:24:25.93\00:24:29.63
So she brought it
before Saul and his servants,
00:24:29.66\00:24:32.43
and they ate.
00:24:32.47\00:24:34.44
Then they rose and
went away that night."
00:24:34.47\00:24:36.91
It was nighttime.
00:24:36.94\00:24:38.57
There's another text like
that in the New Testament.
00:24:38.61\00:24:41.54
It talks about the man
who betrayed Christ, Judas.
00:24:41.58\00:24:45.21
After he had betrayed Christ,
00:24:45.25\00:24:47.22
the Bible says he
went out and it was night.
00:24:47.25\00:24:50.72
And he went out and
also he betrayed the Lord,
00:24:50.75\00:24:55.59
and then he went
and committed suicide.
00:24:55.62\00:24:59.79
King Saul, after he met Samuel,
00:24:59.83\00:25:02.26
this masquerading demon
00:25:02.30\00:25:04.87
who was pretending to
be the dead loved one.
00:25:04.90\00:25:08.30
Saul went out,
00:25:08.34\00:25:09.67
he fought a battle
with the Philistines,
00:25:09.70\00:25:11.61
he was overwhelmed
and then he took a knife,
00:25:11.64\00:25:15.18
his sword, and he
committed suicide.
00:25:15.21\00:25:18.08
If you play with the spirits,
00:25:21.12\00:25:24.32
the spirits will play with you.
00:25:24.35\00:25:28.99
The end of all those, my friend,
00:25:29.02\00:25:31.33
the end of all those
00:25:31.36\00:25:32.83
who dabbled with the
spirit is one of despair,
00:25:32.86\00:25:37.33
hopelessness, and finally death.
00:25:37.37\00:25:42.60
Now, today,
00:25:42.64\00:25:44.31
we're talking
about the sinister,
00:25:44.34\00:25:47.84
unclean, unseen
world of evil spirits.
00:25:47.88\00:25:54.62
We're talking
about the hideous world
00:25:54.65\00:25:58.95
but for many,
the beautiful world,
00:25:58.99\00:26:02.26
the deceiving
world of the occult.
00:26:02.29\00:26:06.70
We'll be back
with more information.
00:26:06.73\00:26:09.93
You better get it
00:26:09.96\00:26:11.53
because your life depends on it.
