I'm alive and well,
00:00:27.60\00:00:29.99
Your spirit lives within me
00:00:30.02\00:00:33.61
Because You died and rose again
00:00:33.64\00:00:37.47
Amazing love, how can it be
00:00:41.20\00:00:48.04
That You, my
King would die for me
00:00:48.07\00:00:55.03
Amazing love, I know it's true
00:00:55.06\00:01:01.76
And it's my joy to honor You
00:01:01.79\00:01:06.80
In all I do, I honor You
00:01:06.83\00:01:14.45
Amazing Love, how can it be
00:01:14.48\00:01:22.36
That You, my
King would die for me
00:01:22.39\00:01:29.50
Amazing love, I know it's true
00:01:29.53\00:01:36.69
And it's my joy to honor You
00:01:36.72\00:01:41.56
In all I do, I honor You
00:01:41.59\00:01:49.46
You are my King
00:01:49.49\00:01:55.37
Jesus, You are my King
00:01:55.40\00:02:03.35
You are my King
00:02:03.38\00:02:08.94
Jesus, You are my King
00:02:08.97\00:02:14.30
Amazing Love, how can it be
00:02:17.98\00:02:24.37
That You, my
King would die for me
00:02:24.40\00:02:31.33
Amazing love, I know it's true
00:02:31.36\00:02:38.22
And it's my joy to honor You
00:02:38.25\00:02:43.28
In all I do, I honor You
00:02:43.31\00:02:50.43
In all I do, I honor You
00:02:50.46\00:02:57.15
If ye love Me
00:03:05.94\00:03:12.38
If ye love Me
00:03:12.41\00:03:19.34
Keep My commandments
00:03:19.37\00:03:25.45
Keep My commandments
00:03:25.48\00:03:31.38
Keep My commandments
00:03:31.41\00:03:37.95
If ye love Me
00:03:41.28\00:03:47.74
If ye love Me
00:03:47.77\00:03:53.65
Keep My commandments
00:03:53.68\00:03:58.87
Keep My commandments
00:03:58.90\00:04:04.69
Keep My commandments
00:04:04.72\00:04:10.02
And I will pray the Father
00:04:13.69\00:04:20.00
And I will pray the Father
00:04:20.03\00:04:27.05
And He will give you
00:04:27.08\00:04:33.20
another Comforter
00:04:33.23\00:04:39.18
Even the Spirit
00:04:41.91\00:04:46.84
Even the Spirit of truth
00:04:46.87\00:04:53.94
If ye love Me
00:05:03.69\00:05:10.34
If ye love Me
00:05:10.37\00:05:16.22
Keep My commandments
00:05:16.25\00:05:22.33
Keep My commandments
00:05:22.36\00:05:27.83
Keep My commandments
00:05:27.86\00:05:31.66
Keep My commandments
00:05:36.09\00:05:41.51
If ye love Me
00:05:46.96\00:05:52.22
Oh, God we really do love you.
00:06:11.47\00:06:15.57
We seek to love
you with all our hearts
00:06:15.60\00:06:17.36
and with all our minds
and with all our bodies.
00:06:17.39\00:06:25.07
We want to know that truth.
00:06:25.10\00:06:30.42
We are brave enough to say
that we will follow your truth
00:06:30.45\00:06:33.53
wherever it leads
but it must be clear.
00:06:33.56\00:06:40.20
And so, Holy Father,
over these next few moments
00:06:40.23\00:06:43.95
teach us through Holy Scripture,
00:06:43.98\00:06:46.75
we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
00:06:46.78\00:06:52.87
Her dark cape is pulled
00:06:52.90\00:06:57.16
low over her
nervous and sweaty brow.
00:06:57.19\00:07:04.41
Concealing eyes
that wearily study
00:07:07.76\00:07:15.31
the three strangers
crouched against her wall.
00:07:15.34\00:07:22.15
If she accedes to
their midnight request,
00:07:22.18\00:07:24.72
she knows that she takes
00:07:24.75\00:07:29.35
her life in her bony hands.
00:07:29.38\00:07:34.81
But what is a witch to
do but do what witches do?
00:07:34.84\00:07:39.32
And so those long
narrow fingers reach out
00:07:43.51\00:07:47.67
to the vials and bowls
00:07:47.70\00:07:49.86
as she drags her instruments
across the cold floor
00:07:49.89\00:07:55.10
toward the dying
embers of that orange light.
00:07:55.13\00:07:59.60
And she begins the low moaning,
00:07:59.63\00:08:04.72
groaning secret
incantation that will summon
00:08:04.75\00:08:09.29
from the
netherworld a visitor tonight.
00:08:09.32\00:08:14.92
The three mantled strangers
stare in wide-eyed silence
00:08:14.95\00:08:21.08
and suddenly the witch sCremes,
00:08:21.11\00:08:24.71
they freeze, the three men.
00:08:24.74\00:08:29.33
As out of the dark
earth there begins to emerge
00:08:29.36\00:08:36.25
gray, silver, white,
00:08:36.28\00:08:40.58
an ethereal apparition of
the form of an old man bent,
00:08:40.61\00:08:48.06
himself cloaked to
hide his featureless face.
00:08:48.09\00:08:53.93
She has called for him,
he has come and he brings
00:08:53.96\00:09:01.09
a message of terrible
terror to the mantled king.
00:09:01.12\00:09:07.55
You must read that
message carefully for yourself.
00:09:07.58\00:09:15.17
But the
question presses upon us,
00:09:15.20\00:09:18.66
what should we do with these
words from beyond the grave?
00:09:18.69\00:09:24.27
This is the only story
in all of Holy Scripture
00:09:24.30\00:09:27.71
where a spirit purports to
bring from beyond that grave
00:09:27.74\00:09:31.95
a momentary message
00:09:31.98\00:09:33.60
before disappearing
into the netherworld again.
00:09:33.63\00:09:37.83
I need you to read
this very carefully,
00:09:37.86\00:09:41.17
it's the story of
the witch of En Dor.
00:09:41.20\00:09:43.50
Open your Bible
please, to 1 Samuel 28.
00:09:43.53\00:09:47.49
You didn't bring a Bible?
00:09:47.52\00:09:48.55
You have got to track
this story with me, please.
00:09:48.58\00:09:51.67
1 Samuel 28, grab the
pew Bible in front of you.
00:09:51.70\00:09:54.15
Let me give you
a page number, 208.
00:09:54.18\00:09:56.82
1 Samuel 28, pew
Bible, pulpit Bible,
00:09:56.85\00:10:00.22
today, the same translation,
the New King James Version.
00:10:00.25\00:10:05.41
The story of
the witch of En Dor.
00:10:05.44\00:10:08.43
We'll begin in
Verse 3. 1 Samuel 28:3
00:10:08.46\00:10:12.07
that will be what
appears on the screen.
00:10:12.10\00:10:17.86
1 Samuel 28:3,
"Now Samuel had died,"
00:10:17.89\00:10:22.67
I've got to tell you,
of all the Hebrew prophets
00:10:22.70\00:10:25.11
he was one of the most beloved.
00:10:25.14\00:10:28.04
"Now Samuel had died and
all Israel had lamented for him
00:10:28.07\00:10:31.96
and buried him in
Ramah, in his own city.
00:10:31.99\00:10:34.99
And Saul," that would be
00:10:35.02\00:10:36.13
the first king of
Israel, still reigning,
00:10:36.16\00:10:38.26
"Saul had put the mediums and
the spiritists out of the land."
00:10:38.29\00:10:43.48
Do you know what a medium is?
00:10:43.51\00:10:45.30
Do you know what a spiritist is?
00:10:45.33\00:10:48.17
In just a few moments
I am going to tell you
00:10:48.20\00:10:49.84
about an Englishman
named Benjamin Crème
00:10:49.87\00:10:52.48
and you will know
what a medium is, trust me.
00:10:52.51\00:10:57.52
Verse 4, "Then the Philistines,"
00:10:57.55\00:10:59.66
that would be
the enemy of Israel,
00:10:59.69\00:11:01.12
"gathered together, and
came and encamped at Shunem.
00:11:01.15\00:11:03.57
So Saul gathered
all Israel together,
00:11:03.60\00:11:05.51
and they encamped at Gilboa.
00:11:05.54\00:11:07.40
When Saul," Verse 5, "saw
the army of the Philistines,
00:11:07.43\00:11:10.50
he was afraid, and his
heart trembled greatly.
00:11:10.53\00:11:13.78
And when Saul
inquired of the Lord,
00:11:13.81\00:11:16.03
the Lord did not answer
him." God you got to help me.
00:11:16.06\00:11:19.89
"The Lord did not answer
him, not by dreams or by Urim,"
00:11:19.92\00:11:25.16
that's the ephod
worn by the high priests.
00:11:25.19\00:11:27.60
Two stones, one
stone here the Urim,
00:11:27.63\00:11:29.50
one stone here the Thummim.
00:11:29.53\00:11:31.01
Yes, no. Light
over the Urim, yes.
00:11:31.04\00:11:33.91
Shadow over the
Thummim, no. No answer.
00:11:33.94\00:11:38.46
"The Lord did not answer him,
00:11:38.49\00:11:39.73
either by dreams or by
Urim or by the prophets.
00:11:39.76\00:11:45.31
Then Saul said to his servants,
00:11:45.34\00:11:47.53
'Find me a
woman who is a medium,
00:11:47.56\00:11:50.11
that I may go to
her and inquire of her.'
00:11:50.14\00:11:52.43
And his servants said to him,
00:11:52.46\00:11:53.86
"Well, just, as a
matter of fact your highness,
00:11:53.89\00:11:55.82
there is a woman who
is a medium at En Dor.'
00:11:55.85\00:11:59.73
So Saul disguised himself
and put on other clothes,"
00:11:59.76\00:12:02.84
because it's capital offence
to be caught as a medium,
00:12:02.87\00:12:06.30
"he disguised himself and put
on other clothes and he went,
00:12:06.33\00:12:08.44
and the two men with him
00:12:08.47\00:12:09.54
and they came to
the woman by night.
00:12:09.57\00:12:10.99
And he said, 'Please
conduct a séance for me,
00:12:11.02\00:12:13.60
and bring up for me the
one I shall name to you.'
00:12:13.63\00:12:16.86
Then the woman said to him,
00:12:16.89\00:12:18.42
'Look, you know
what Saul has done,
00:12:18.45\00:12:20.33
how he has cut off the mediums
00:12:20.36\00:12:21.39
and the
spiritists from the land.
00:12:21.42\00:12:22.45
Then why do you lay
a snare for my life,
00:12:22.48\00:12:24.08
to cause me to
die?'" You want to kill me?
00:12:24.11\00:12:27.70
"And Saul swore to
her, the mantled king,"
00:12:27.73\00:12:30.55
she doesn't no who he is.
00:12:30.58\00:12:31.86
The mantled king swears to her
00:12:31.89\00:12:33.89
by the God who is
not answering him,
00:12:33.92\00:12:37.82
by the God who is
not answering him,
00:12:37.85\00:12:39.52
"And so Saul swore
to her by the Lord,
00:12:39.55\00:12:41.27
saying, 'As the Lord lives,
00:12:41.30\00:12:43.18
no punishment shall come
upon you for this thing.'
00:12:43.21\00:12:45.47
Then the woman said, Whom
shall I bring up for you?'
00:12:45.50\00:12:49.35
And he said,
'Bring up Samuel for me.'"
00:12:49.38\00:12:53.53
And in between those verses
00:12:53.56\00:12:55.04
the incantations
and the moanings begin.
00:12:55.07\00:12:59.79
"And when the woman saw Samuel,'
00:12:59.82\00:13:03.19
now here comes that sCreme,
00:13:03.22\00:13:04.63
"she cried out
with a loud voice.
00:13:04.66\00:13:06.88
And the woman spoke to Saul,
00:13:06.91\00:13:08.05
'Why have you
deceived me? For you are Saul!'
00:13:08.08\00:13:13.81
And the king said to
her, 'Do not be afraid.
00:13:13.84\00:13:15.98
What did you see?'"
00:13:16.01\00:13:17.68
Would you mark it
clearly, ladies and gentlemen?
00:13:17.71\00:13:20.38
Saul sees not a
thing. He sees nothing.
00:13:20.41\00:13:25.92
What are you looking at, woman?
00:13:25.95\00:13:27.22
What do you see?
00:13:27.25\00:13:28.57
Everything will be mediated
through the woman to him.
00:13:28.60\00:13:32.79
He sees nothing.
"What did you see?
00:13:32.82\00:13:37.10
And the woman said to Saul,
00:13:37.13\00:13:38.72
'I saw a spirit
ascending out of the earth.'"
00:13:38.75\00:13:42.28
Isn't that amazing?
00:13:42.31\00:13:44.39
If you believe that
when a good man dies,
00:13:44.42\00:13:46.36
he goes straight to heaven,
00:13:46.39\00:13:47.53
it should read and I saw
spirit descending from heaven.
00:13:47.56\00:13:53.26
Somebody is
playing a trick here.
00:13:53.29\00:13:58.84
"She said 'I saw a spirit
ascending out of the earth'
00:13:58.87\00:14:01.63
and so he said to
her, 'What is its form?'
00:14:01.66\00:14:03.65
And she said, 'An
old man is coming up,
00:14:03.68\00:14:05.03
and he is
covered with a mantle.'
00:14:05.06\00:14:06.65
And Saul
perceived," he did not see,
00:14:06.68\00:14:08.84
"Saul perceived
that it was Samuel,
00:14:08.87\00:14:11.02
and he stooped with
his face to the ground
00:14:11.05\00:14:12.83
and bowed down to
worship that spirit."
00:14:12.86\00:14:16.79
My, oh my.
00:14:16.82\00:14:21.07
And, Samuel, let me
have your eyes for a moment.
00:14:21.10\00:14:24.56
"And Samuel" you know what
I mean by these, doesn't you?
00:14:24.59\00:14:28.45
Quotation marks, "And Samuel."
00:14:28.48\00:14:32.45
"And Samuel said to Saul,
00:14:32.48\00:14:34.64
'Why have you disturbed
me by bringing me up?'"
00:14:34.67\00:14:37.95
He should have said
by bringing me down.
00:14:37.98\00:14:40.60
"And Saul answered,
'I am deeply distressed
00:14:40.63\00:14:43.20
for the Philistines
make war against me,
00:14:43.23\00:14:44.90
and God has departed from me
and does not answer me anymore,
00:14:44.93\00:14:47.03
neither by the
prophets nor by dreams.
00:14:47.06\00:14:48.56
Therefore I have called on you
00:14:48.59\00:14:50.03
that you may reveal to
me what I should do now."
00:14:50.06\00:14:53.08
Oh, prophet, whom I never
listen to when you were here.
00:14:53.11\00:14:59.19
Verse 16, "Then Samuel
said, 'So why do you ask me,
00:14:59.22\00:15:05.71
seeing the Lord
has departed from you
00:15:05.74\00:15:08.13
and has become your enemy?'"
00:15:08.16\00:15:10.37
Ladies and gentlemen, hit
the pause button right there,
00:15:10.40\00:15:12.03
I need you to know
beyond the shadow of a doubt
00:15:12.06\00:15:15.69
that we are now
entering a bold faced lie
00:15:15.72\00:15:23.09
because that is not
the truth about God.
00:15:23.12\00:15:25.77
God never becomes your enemy,
00:15:25.80\00:15:29.71
even if you reject
him like King Saul did,
00:15:29.74\00:15:32.65
even if you reject
him like Judas did,
00:15:32.68\00:15:35.43
He will never become your enemy.
00:15:35.46\00:15:37.74
In fact, I'll remind you, how
did Jesus treat His betrayer,
00:15:37.77\00:15:40.57
after that wet kiss has
been planted on bearded cheek,
00:15:40.60\00:15:43.86
what did Jesus call
Judas? What did he call Judas?
00:15:43.89\00:15:46.60
Friend. Friend.
00:15:46.63\00:15:48.98
But the demon does not want
00:15:49.01\00:15:52.32
you to ever know
the truth about God.
00:15:52.35\00:15:56.33
That He is not
somebody to be afraid of,
00:15:56.36\00:15:58.35
He is someone to be a friend of.
00:15:58.38\00:16:00.93
And so he twists the
truth and it comes out,
00:16:00.96\00:16:04.25
God is your enemy.
00:16:04.28\00:16:08.98
Verse 16 again,
"Then Samuel said
00:16:09.01\00:16:10.57
'So why do you ask
me, seeing the Lord
00:16:10.60\00:16:12.75
has departed from you
and has become your enemy?'
00:16:12.78\00:16:15.70
And the Lord has
done for Himself,"
00:16:15.73\00:16:17.61
the spirit goes
on, "as He spoke by me.
00:16:17.64\00:16:19.97
For the Lord has torn
the kingdom out of your hand
00:16:20.00\00:16:22.04
and given it to
your neighbor, David."
00:16:22.07\00:16:23.73
Samuel really did say
those words once upon a time.
00:16:23.76\00:16:26.74
"Because you did not
obey the voice of the Lord
00:16:26.77\00:16:29.77
nor execute His
fierce wrath upon Amalek,
00:16:29.80\00:16:32.81
therefore the Lord has
done this thing to you this day.
00:16:32.84\00:16:35.06
Moreover the Lord will
also deliver Israel with you
00:16:35.09\00:16:38.10
into the hand
of the Philistines.
00:16:38.13\00:16:39.87
And tomorrow you and
your sons will be with me.'"
00:16:39.90\00:16:43.73
Come on, Samuel,
you are in heaven.
00:16:43.76\00:16:45.66
Does that mean
Saul is going to heaven,
00:16:45.69\00:16:47.55
who rejected god?
Something's fishy here.
00:16:47.58\00:16:52.33
It doesn't smell right.
00:16:52.36\00:16:55.51
You will be with me tomorrow.
00:16:55.54\00:17:01.24
"The Lord will also
deliver the army of Israel
00:17:01.27\00:17:03.14
into the hand of
the Philistines." Gone.
00:17:03.17\00:17:05.17
"Immediately," verse 20,
00:17:05.20\00:17:06.34
"Saul fell full
length on the ground,
00:17:06.37\00:17:08.28
and was dreadfully afraid
because of the words of Samuel.
00:17:08.31\00:17:11.51
And there was
no strength in him,
00:17:11.54\00:17:12.89
for he had eaten no
food all day or all night."
00:17:12.92\00:17:15.91
Drop down to
the ending, verse24,
00:17:15.94\00:17:17.64
"Now the woman" the witch,
00:17:17.67\00:17:20.50
"had a fatted calf in the house,
and she hastened to kill it.
00:17:20.53\00:17:23.85
And she took
flour and kneaded it,
00:17:23.88\00:17:25.21
and she baked
unleavened bread from it.
00:17:25.24\00:17:26.76
So she brought it before Saul
00:17:26.79\00:17:28.07
and his servants, and they ate.
00:17:28.10\00:17:29.64
Then they rose and
went away that night."
00:17:29.67\00:17:33.62
Isn't it interesting
that the story of Saul
00:17:33.65\00:17:35.99
ends precisely the way
the story of Judas does,
00:17:36.02\00:17:39.41
and he went out and it was night
00:17:39.44\00:17:42.79
because it is always night
00:17:42.82\00:17:44.16
when you step
away from the light
00:17:44.19\00:17:45.64
and listen to the
darkness, always night.
00:17:45.67\00:17:51.20
So here's the question,
can the dead commune with us?
00:17:51.23\00:17:58.72
Now look, if you believe
the serpent's hissing lie
00:17:58.75\00:18:03.38
in the garden that when
you die, you do not die,
00:18:03.41\00:18:09.32
then you have only
one answer you can give,
00:18:09.35\00:18:11.01
and the answer is, yes,
00:18:11.04\00:18:12.07
of course that dead
can commune with us.
00:18:12.10\00:18:14.15
If however you
believe the teaching of Jesus
00:18:14.18\00:18:16.99
and Holy
Scriptures that when you die
00:18:17.02\00:18:19.25
you go to sleep to be awakened
one day by a resurrection,
00:18:19.28\00:18:22.90
then you know
that the answer is no.
00:18:22.93\00:18:26.15
No, the dead cannot
commune with the human race.
00:18:26.18\00:18:33.59
Then who is this Samuel
who arises out of the earth
00:18:33.62\00:18:40.13
to terrorize
that desperate king?
00:18:40.16\00:18:44.80
The answer is so critical,
we have to write it down.
00:18:44.83\00:18:47.68
Write it down right now,
00:18:47.71\00:18:48.74
pull out your
study guide please,
00:18:48.77\00:18:49.95
pull out that study guide
out of your worship bulletin.
00:18:49.98\00:18:52.03
We have got to write it down.
00:18:52.06\00:18:53.44
You didn't get a study
guide, hold your hand up,
00:18:53.47\00:18:55.73
our friendly
ushers will make sure
00:18:55.76\00:18:57.38
that you have a study guide
00:18:57.41\00:18:58.44
all the way up into
the back of the balcony,
00:18:58.47\00:18:59.92
in the overflow, everybody
gets a study guide today.
00:18:59.95\00:19:03.05
This is part three, the
final piece of the trilogy
00:19:03.08\00:19:07.82
entitled "The
truth about death."
00:19:07.85\00:19:09.36
I want to say to those of
you watching on television,
00:19:09.39\00:19:11.21
we are glad you
are here, you are--
00:19:11.24\00:19:12.91
this piece, you need this piece.
00:19:12.94\00:19:15.44
I want to make sure you
get the same study guide.
00:19:15.47\00:19:17.03
Let me put it on your
screen for you right now,
00:19:17.06\00:19:19.63
our website www.pmchurch.tv.
00:19:19.66\00:19:24.58
You are looking
for a series entitled
00:19:24.61\00:19:26.40
"The truth about death."
00:19:26.43\00:19:28.59
By the way this website
has been brand new constructed,
00:19:28.62\00:19:32.73
it's brand new. Go
back to that website.
00:19:32.76\00:19:35.85
We are very grateful
for a young adult designer,
00:19:35.88\00:19:38.55
Matthew Hamilton who has
re-designed that website.
00:19:38.58\00:19:42.06
You are looking for a series
called "The truth about death."
00:19:42.09\00:19:44.59
You are looking for the
final piece in this trilogy
00:19:44.62\00:19:46.64
and it's called
"The Midnight Blitz."
00:19:46.67\00:19:48.19
When you see midnight
blitz, you click on there,
00:19:48.22\00:19:50.22
you will have the study guide,
00:19:50.25\00:19:51.28
the same study guide
we have and by the way,
00:19:51.31\00:19:53.16
this little trilogy ends today.
00:19:53.19\00:19:55.21
I am going to take a
little two week break,
00:19:55.24\00:19:56.68
we will do other
things during these two weeks
00:19:56.71\00:19:58.21
and then we are coming back
00:19:58.24\00:19:59.34
because you have got to
know the truth about hell.
00:19:59.37\00:20:02.49
You can not separate
them, there's another trilogy
00:20:02.52\00:20:04.77
right behind
this, don't you miss it.
00:20:04.80\00:20:06.35
Come to the same website,
00:20:06.38\00:20:07.62
you'll get the same,
you'll get everything there.
00:20:07.65\00:20:09.95
All right, this is
the final piece on death.
00:20:09.98\00:20:12.04
Write it down in your
study guide, 1 Timothy 4:1
00:20:12.07\00:20:15.40
from the today's New
International version,
00:20:15.43\00:20:17.81
"The spirit clearly
says that in later times
00:20:17.84\00:20:23.06
some will abandon the faith
and follow deceiving spirits
00:20:23.09\00:20:27.73
and things taught by demons."
00:20:27.76\00:20:30.66
I want you to get
that crystal clear
00:20:30.69\00:20:32.62
in your heart
and brain right now.
00:20:32.65\00:20:35.16
Spirits and
demons interchangeable,
00:20:35.19\00:20:37.30
they are one and the same.
00:20:37.33\00:20:38.45
Who are they, keep writing,
00:20:38.48\00:20:39.72
the bible is
clear spirits are demons
00:20:39.75\00:20:41.63
i.e. fallen
angels loyal to Satan.
00:20:41.66\00:20:45.90
Take a look
sometimes in Revelation 12:9
00:20:45.93\00:20:48.05
when Satan-- when
Lucifer was expelled
00:20:48.08\00:20:49.72
from heaven the
loyal angels to him,
00:20:49.75\00:20:52.06
they become the demons.
00:20:52.09\00:20:53.21
They came to earth as well,
00:20:53.24\00:20:54.46
that's who the demons
are, they're all fallen angels.
00:20:54.49\00:20:56.95
Who else would be lying to
Saul about God and about death?
00:20:56.98\00:21:00.89
It would have to be the
deceiver and his hordes.
00:21:00.92\00:21:05.34
Note carefully now, I need
you to scribble this down quick.
00:21:05.37\00:21:08.18
Note carefully these
four demonic realities
00:21:08.21\00:21:11.12
that emerge out of the
story of the witch of En Dor.
00:21:11.15\00:21:13.64
Jot these four down,
demonic reality number one,
00:21:13.67\00:21:16.30
demons impersonate the dead.
00:21:16.33\00:21:19.08
I'll give you an extra moment
00:21:19.11\00:21:20.80
to spell that word
correctly, impersonate.
00:21:20.83\00:21:22.98
Demons impersonate the dead.
00:21:23.01\00:21:27.15
Keep it on the screen for you.
00:21:27.18\00:21:29.87
Because that wasn't Samuel.
00:21:29.90\00:21:31.74
The Bible teaches, at
death you simply cease to exist.
00:21:31.77\00:21:34.85
It could not have been
Samuel, his body turned to dust,
00:21:34.88\00:21:37.17
the breath of life that he had
00:21:37.20\00:21:38.59
went back to
the God who gave it.
00:21:38.62\00:21:41.57
The devil cannot
resurrect anybody.
00:21:41.60\00:21:43.70
Do you understand that the devil
00:21:43.73\00:21:45.42
is just as dependant
upon God as you and I are?
00:21:45.45\00:21:48.53
For every breath Satan breathes,
00:21:48.56\00:21:50.51
it's a loan, a gift from God.
00:21:50.54\00:21:53.03
He is dependent
on the life giver.
00:21:53.06\00:21:55.75
He can't raise anybody.
00:21:55.78\00:21:56.81
So what has to do he has--
00:21:56.84\00:21:58.77
he has to
impersonate the deceased.
00:21:58.80\00:22:03.46
Guess what, you think about it,
00:22:03.49\00:22:05.75
after a lifetime of observing
my idiosyncratic speech
00:22:05.78\00:22:10.41
and my quirky mannerisms,
00:22:10.44\00:22:11.85
don't you suppose the
demon that has been tracking me
00:22:11.88\00:22:14.06
every day of my life
pretty much has it down pat?
00:22:14.09\00:22:17.96
Come on, some time ago
00:22:17.99\00:22:20.34
there was a well-known
theologian on this campus
00:22:20.37\00:22:22.85
and I was in a room
where some college students
00:22:22.88\00:22:25.32
were imitating the theologian
00:22:25.35\00:22:27.01
and they head it down to a T.
00:22:27.04\00:22:29.73
I mean, if a
college kid can do it,
00:22:29.76\00:22:32.53
how about somebody who's
tracked you all your life?
00:22:32.56\00:22:34.04
I really thought that was funny,
00:22:34.07\00:22:35.54
until one day
when into the seminary
00:22:35.57\00:22:36.90
and there were three seminaries,
they didn't see me coming in
00:22:36.93\00:22:39.01
and they were imitating me
00:22:39.04\00:22:40.38
and you know what,
it's not funny at all.
00:22:40.41\00:22:42.42
It is not funny. You
quit doing stuff like that.
00:22:42.45\00:22:49.87
So anyway don't you suppose
00:22:49.90\00:22:53.01
the demons know how
we behave, trust me.
00:22:53.04\00:22:56.45
All right,
Seeing is not believing,
00:22:56.48\00:22:59.70
seeing is not believing.
00:22:59.73\00:23:01.12
All right,
that's demonic reality
00:23:01.15\00:23:03.10
number one from the story.
00:23:03.13\00:23:04.16
Demonic reality number
two, write it down, demons lie.
00:23:04.19\00:23:07.84
Oh, boy.
00:23:07.87\00:23:09.82
If I put it on
the screen for you,
00:23:09.85\00:23:11.06
it's in your study guide,
00:23:11.09\00:23:12.12
the words of
Christ himself, John 8:44,
00:23:12.15\00:23:14.70
two times ago we
looked at these words,
00:23:14.73\00:23:16.58
"When the devil lies, he
speaks his native language
00:23:16.61\00:23:20.42
for he is a liar
and the father of lies."
00:23:20.45\00:23:24.11
Look at, ladies and
gentlemen, he lied to Eve,
00:23:24.14\00:23:26.60
he lied to Saul,
he is lying to you.
00:23:26.63\00:23:29.41
Don't you ever sing the song,
what a friend we have in Satan.
00:23:29.44\00:23:33.59
You have no
friend in him, trust me.
00:23:33.62\00:23:36.09
He is your mortal enemy,
00:23:36.12\00:23:38.15
he hates you and he
lives for your destruction,
00:23:38.18\00:23:42.09
he will lie to
you through his teeth
00:23:42.12\00:23:44.41
until he gets you or loses you,
00:23:44.44\00:23:47.61
whichever comes to pass.
00:23:47.64\00:23:52.79
But he's even clever
in his lying, very clever.
00:23:52.82\00:23:55.14
Jot this down,
demonic reality number three,
00:23:55.17\00:23:57.46
demons mix truth with
their lies. Brilliant.
00:23:57.49\00:24:02.16
The demon impersonating
Samuel quoted the very words
00:24:02.19\00:24:04.80
that genuine Samuel once
upon a time spoke to Saul
00:24:04.83\00:24:07.26
when he had been alive,
00:24:07.29\00:24:08.35
but the demon twist in the words
00:24:08.38\00:24:10.47
in order to throttle
the last vestige of hope
00:24:10.50\00:24:13.11
that might have clung to
that king's demented heart.
00:24:13.14\00:24:18.06
Twist.
00:24:18.09\00:24:21.98
Leading us to
demonic reality number four,
00:24:22.01\00:24:24.74
demons transact business
with the currency of fear.
00:24:24.77\00:24:30.83
All the devil wants for
you is for you to be afraid
00:24:30.86\00:24:34.44
and that's why
the Bible declares,
00:24:34.47\00:24:35.64
he is a roaring lion.
00:24:35.67\00:24:39.11
He has to work by intimidation,
00:24:39.14\00:24:41.94
paralysis is the way the
lion roars to petrify his prey.
00:24:41.97\00:24:49.65
The devil has to
mask the truth of Calvary
00:24:49.68\00:24:53.48
that at the cross Jesus
shattered the devil's dominion.
00:24:53.51\00:24:57.55
He has to hide it and
so he intimidates you.
00:24:57.58\00:25:01.41
I was at the Sacramento
once during a weekend series,
00:25:01.44\00:25:04.10
started with Friday night,
00:25:04.13\00:25:05.76
some sitting in
the front of the church
00:25:05.79\00:25:07.93
and were waiting for
the service to begin.
00:25:07.96\00:25:10.98
I turned around, I
see a kid coming down
00:25:11.01\00:25:12.15
the center aisle of that
church, the Carmichael church
00:25:12.18\00:25:14.18
where my sister and her
husband are now pasturing.
00:25:14.21\00:25:16.22
It was before that day.
00:25:16.25\00:25:17.53
And this kid is coming down
and he has this black t-shirt on
00:25:17.56\00:25:19.97
and in huge red
letters, it says, Satan.
00:25:20.00\00:25:24.49
And I'm thinking to myself,
have I come to the right place,
00:25:24.52\00:25:27.78
what's up with this?
00:25:27.81\00:25:29.38
And he had this
smile on his face
00:25:29.41\00:25:31.18
and by the time
he gets up to me,
00:25:31.21\00:25:32.53
he puts his hand out, so I said,
well, I guess this is okay.
00:25:32.56\00:25:34.67
And when I got close
enough to shake his hand,
00:25:34.70\00:25:36.41
I read that there were two more
words on that black t-shirt,
00:25:36.44\00:25:40.02
also in red, tiny
little words, is defeated.
00:25:40.05\00:25:45.55
You know what, if you ever
decide to get a black t-shirt
00:25:45.58\00:25:49.20
with those three words
on it, here's how you do it.
00:25:49.23\00:25:50.74
You put up here,
Satan is defeated.
00:25:50.77\00:25:55.56
That's the message of Calvary.
00:25:55.59\00:25:57.59
Calvary was the shattering
00:25:57.62\00:25:59.67
of the demonic
dominion on this planet.
00:25:59.70\00:26:01.37
The battle, the war
has already been won,
00:26:01.40\00:26:03.81
the war has been won.
00:26:03.84\00:26:04.99
Look at his Revelation 12:11,
00:26:05.02\00:26:07.69
"And they, the followers
of Christ overcame him,"
00:26:07.72\00:26:09.93
the dragon, that would
be Lucifer the fallen Satan
00:26:09.96\00:26:12.36
"by blood of the lamb,"
code language for Calvary,
00:26:12.39\00:26:14.88
"and by the word
of their testimony,
00:26:14.91\00:26:16.37
and they did not cling to
life even in the face of death,"
00:26:16.40\00:26:19.34
as another translation puts it.
00:26:19.37\00:26:21.17
There is the truth.
00:26:21.20\00:26:23.25
Don't you ever let
the devil intimidate you
00:26:23.28\00:26:25.29
into believing he
has a right to you.
00:26:25.32\00:26:27.49
He has zero,
nada, no right to you.
00:26:27.52\00:26:31.24
Calvary's blood has
been shed to claim you back.
00:26:31.27\00:26:35.96
You belong to another king,
00:26:35.99\00:26:37.71
don't you ever
follow that dark warlord.
00:26:37.74\00:26:41.17
So who was this Samuel
who brought a message to Saul?
00:26:41.20\00:26:44.20
S-a-t-a-n, that's who.
00:26:44.23\00:26:50.06
And guess what, he's got a
message for you and me as well.
00:26:50.09\00:26:53.12
In fact, the message is right
here at the end of this chapter.
00:26:53.15\00:26:56.27
You got to see this, read
the last two verses again.
00:26:56.30\00:26:59.61
1 Samuel 28:24, "Now the woman
00:26:59.64\00:27:01.44
had a fatted calf in the house
and she hastened to kill it.
00:27:01.47\00:27:04.31
And she took
flour and kneaded it,
00:27:04.34\00:27:05.82
and baked
unleavened bread from it.
00:27:05.85\00:27:07.24
And so she brought it
before Saul and his servants,
00:27:07.27\00:27:09.17
and they ate and then they arose
00:27:09.20\00:27:10.62
and went away and it was night."
00:27:10.65\00:27:12.67
You might say, I
don't see any message there.
00:27:12.70\00:27:14.87
Well, it isn't a direct message,
00:27:14.90\00:27:16.69
it is a message cryptically
tucked away in that line,
00:27:16.72\00:27:19.68
"Now the woman
had a fatted calf."
00:27:19.71\00:27:23.65
Do you know why
people have fatted calves?
00:27:23.68\00:27:27.82
Why do they fatten the calf?
00:27:27.85\00:27:29.67
Why do they get it
plump and juicy and thick?
00:27:29.70\00:27:35.16
Because they are looking
forward to the day of slaughter.
00:27:35.19\00:27:41.21
There is a fatted
calf in this story,
00:27:41.24\00:27:44.31
only it's not the
calf, it is the king
00:27:44.34\00:27:48.00
who is being fattened
00:27:48.03\00:27:50.49
for the day of
slaughter just hours away now.
00:27:50.52\00:27:54.30
Just like you and me
and the human race today,
00:27:54.33\00:27:59.06
we are being fattened.
00:27:59.09\00:28:01.61
A generation being
fattened by Satan and his demons
00:28:01.64\00:28:05.57
for the
impending day of slaughter.
00:28:05.60\00:28:08.72
You say I am not
getting fattened. Watch.
00:28:08.75\00:28:13.12
I want you to jot
down at a very partial,
00:28:13.15\00:28:16.12
this is very partial,
00:28:16.15\00:28:18.86
a very partial list of
demonic deceptions today.
00:28:18.89\00:28:22.41
Jot them down, number
one, The Ghost Whisperer.
00:28:22.44\00:28:27.51
Write it down,
00:28:27.54\00:28:28.89
The Ghost Whispers
is a television series
00:28:28.92\00:28:30.36
starring Jennifer Love Hewitt
00:28:30.39\00:28:31.79
as a young woman in
touch with the dead.
00:28:31.82\00:28:33.30
CBS has produced this program
for entertainment and I saw,
00:28:33.33\00:28:39.50
I decided I am going
to go to the website.
00:28:39.53\00:28:41.03
I go to the website
and guess what I discover?
00:28:41.06\00:28:43.19
There is a real
life at the website,
00:28:43.22\00:28:44.85
a real life what
they call ghost buster.
00:28:44.88\00:28:47.37
She really is what we would
call a spiritist or a medium
00:28:47.40\00:28:51.24
and she's there
to answer fan mail,
00:28:51.27\00:28:54.07
fans who have questions
about what happens at death.
00:28:54.10\00:28:57.36
So with your permission, I am
going to put it on the screen.
00:28:57.39\00:28:59.68
This is directly from
CBS Television's website
00:28:59.71\00:29:03.09
for The Ghost
Whisperer. Let's go.
00:29:03.12\00:29:05.68
My name is Mary Ann Winkowowsk
00:29:09.76\00:29:11.81
and I am a consultant
on the show Ghost Whisperer
00:29:11.84\00:29:15.07
and I am going to try to
answer some questions for you
00:29:15.10\00:29:18.74
that come in
every week about ghosts
00:29:18.77\00:29:20.51
or anything with paranormal.
00:29:20.54\00:29:23.06
This is from Denise in Chicago.
00:29:23.09\00:29:26.35
One of my aunts passed
away about two years ago,
00:29:26.38\00:29:29.83
complications of surgery,
leaving a three year old son.
00:29:29.86\00:29:34.59
When this first happened,
00:29:34.62\00:29:36.42
her son claimed
that she was with us
00:29:36.45\00:29:38.34
because he would say
that he saw her every day
00:29:38.37\00:29:41.91
and he would talk to her.
00:29:41.94\00:29:43.72
Do you think this is possible?
00:29:43.75\00:29:45.91
Absolutely, this is possible.
00:29:45.94\00:29:49.15
Now I have no way of
knowing from the letter
00:29:49.18\00:29:51.72
if she is earth bound
or if she has crossed over.
00:29:51.75\00:29:56.87
Unfortunately, when people
die and leave young children,
00:29:56.90\00:30:01.86
that's one of the reasons why
they did not go into the light.
00:30:01.89\00:30:06.54
How did you get through it?
00:30:06.57\00:30:08.68
I just knew He'd be with me.
00:30:08.71\00:30:13.36
Wherever I went, and He is.
00:30:13.39\00:30:20.21
Even when moms and dads
that die do go into the light,
00:30:20.24\00:30:24.40
believe me, they do
not miss a birthday,
00:30:24.43\00:30:27.76
anniversary, a holiday,
they are there for all of that.
00:30:27.79\00:30:31.95
No doubt about it, Denise.
00:30:31.98\00:30:33.49
She is
definitely around visiting
00:30:33.52\00:30:35.92
and staying with her son.
00:30:35.95\00:30:38.00
Please keep your
questions coming,
00:30:38.03\00:30:39.62
I enjoy getting them
00:30:39.65\00:30:41.40
and we'll try to
answer as many as we can.
00:30:41.43\00:30:45.15
Ladies and
gentlemen, I rest my case.
00:30:45.18\00:30:48.82
In the name of
American entertainment,
00:30:48.85\00:30:52.38
there is a
medium, a spiritist hired
00:30:52.41\00:30:55.22
by CBS on the set
00:30:55.25\00:30:58.30
as they produce the
programs to tell us,
00:30:58.33\00:31:01.70
"Oh, thank you,
Mary Ann Winkowowski
00:31:01.73\00:31:03.92
for telling us
the truth about death.
00:31:03.95\00:31:05.83
We knew you would."
00:31:05.86\00:31:09.52
You will not surely die.
00:31:09.55\00:31:12.23
Do you recognize the
hiss of that garden serpent
00:31:12.26\00:31:16.44
who is fattening a generation
for the day of slaughter?
00:31:16.47\00:31:23.32
Jot this one down, medium.
00:31:23.35\00:31:26.51
Well, that's a
dead giveaway, isn't it?
00:31:26.54\00:31:28.59
NBC not to be outdone
by its competitor CBS,
00:31:28.62\00:31:31.35
has its own form of
demonic entertainment.
00:31:31.38\00:31:34.87
It's called the Medium.
00:31:34.90\00:31:35.95
Let me read to you the
NBC promo of this hit series.
00:31:35.98\00:31:38.94
Emmy award winning, by the way,
00:31:38.97\00:31:40.42
we're talking about the
artsy world recognizing,
00:31:40.45\00:31:42.83
oh, this is so good.
00:31:42.86\00:31:45.26
"From Emmy award
winning executive producer,
00:31:45.29\00:31:46.95
creator and director
Glenn Gordon Caron comes Medium.
00:31:46.98\00:31:49.57
A chilling drama series
inspired by the real life story
00:31:49.60\00:31:52.46
of research
medium Allison DuBois,
00:31:52.49\00:31:55.16
Emmy winner Patricia Arquette
stars as a young wife and mother
00:31:55.19\00:31:58.35
who has gradually come to grips
00:31:58.38\00:31:59.76
with her extraordinary
ability to talk to dead people."
00:31:59.79\00:32:06.55
Do you watch this
for entertainment?
00:32:06.58\00:32:09.68
Do you?
00:32:09.71\00:32:11.34
Hey, Dwight, what's the
big deal, it's just acting.
00:32:11.37\00:32:15.32
Oh, really?
00:32:15.35\00:32:16.86
Did Mary Ann Winkowowski,
00:32:16.89\00:32:23.79
did she make you
think this was just acting?
00:32:23.82\00:32:28.69
Are they consulting
the production even?
00:32:28.72\00:32:33.31
And you watch it
for entertainment
00:32:33.34\00:32:35.89
because you have
nothing better to do.
00:32:35.92\00:32:38.49
You say, it's not
going to affect me, Dwight.
00:32:38.52\00:32:40.13
Listen, my friend, you cannot
00:32:40.16\00:32:42.16
dispassionately
imbibe and not be affected.
00:32:42.19\00:32:46.09
Something is
getting sown in your mind.
00:32:46.12\00:32:48.28
If you're going to Hollywood
00:32:48.31\00:32:49.34
for a Saturday
night entertainment,
00:32:49.37\00:32:50.67
it's a little bit of the occult
00:32:50.70\00:32:52.07
and it's a
little bit of demonism
00:32:52.10\00:32:53.51
and I know it's
all fun and laughs
00:32:53.54\00:32:55.59
and you're going there to
drink that drink from that
00:32:55.62\00:32:59.01
well, my friend, do you get it?
00:32:59.04\00:33:03.49
Fattened for the
day of slaughter.
00:33:03.52\00:33:07.71
You say, I'll never get tricked.
00:33:07.74\00:33:10.79
Oh, really?
00:33:10.82\00:33:13.34
Play around with
them long enough,
00:33:13.37\00:33:16.20
you inadvertently
end up on their side.
00:33:16.23\00:33:19.32
You don't even know it.
00:33:19.35\00:33:21.33
Write this down, number four,
this is a very partial list
00:33:21.36\00:33:23.45
but would you jot
these two words down?
00:33:23.48\00:33:24.71
I'll leave them up so you
can get the spelling correct.
00:33:24.74\00:33:26.78
Marian apparitions.
00:33:26.81\00:33:29.59
Marian apparitions.
00:33:29.62\00:33:33.93
There are sincere Roman Catholic
Christians, you get that?
00:33:33.96\00:33:37.08
I'll wait just a
moment. Marian apparitions.
00:33:37.11\00:33:41.27
There are sincere
Roman Catholic Christians
00:33:41.30\00:33:43.02
who believe that
Mary is now appearing
00:33:43.05\00:33:45.36
across the earth to
select devoted adherents.
00:33:45.39\00:33:50.96
According to
Johann Roten, the director
00:33:50.99\00:33:52.83
of the international
Marian Research Institute
00:33:52.86\00:33:54.90
at the university of Dayton
here in the United States,
00:33:54.93\00:33:57.35
most claims of
messages and visions
00:33:57.38\00:33:59.25
are not
investigated by the church.
00:33:59.28\00:34:01.00
Their website records 386
cases of Marian apparitions.
00:34:01.03\00:34:05.48
Mary showing up
in the 20th century,
00:34:05.51\00:34:07.84
the church
having made no decision
00:34:07.87\00:34:09.24
about 299 of them and
of the 87 investigated,
00:34:09.27\00:34:12.90
only eight were deemed to
have a supernatural character.
00:34:12.93\00:34:16.34
Eight of these are genuine,
00:34:16.37\00:34:20.19
that is Mary.
00:34:20.22\00:34:24.52
Now, ladies and
gentlemen, this is part three,
00:34:24.55\00:34:27.81
we've already had
the first two parts.
00:34:27.84\00:34:29.48
If what the Bible
teaches about death is true,
00:34:29.51\00:34:32.12
that when Mary
died, she went to sleep
00:34:32.15\00:34:34.70
and she's not in
heaven, then who is this?
00:34:34.73\00:34:39.92
Who is showing up across
the planet in the name of Mary?
00:34:39.95\00:34:44.91
Who is it?
00:34:44.94\00:34:49.20
I am going just give you four.
00:34:49.23\00:34:51.20
Here's number four, I call this
credible source testimonies.
00:34:51.23\00:34:55.50
Write down the word testimonies.
00:34:55.53\00:34:57.70
Isn't this amazing?
00:34:57.73\00:34:58.76
Nothing turns the secular
news media into believers
00:34:58.79\00:35:01.10
faster than the death
of one of their own stars.
00:35:01.13\00:35:04.88
The whole nation
was saddened in April,
00:35:04.91\00:35:08.94
it was April, when Tim Russert,
00:35:08.97\00:35:10.99
the famed and celebrated
host of Meet the Press,
00:35:11.02\00:35:13.75
suddenly on a
Friday afternoon, gone,
00:35:13.78\00:35:16.07
heart attack, just gone.
00:35:16.10\00:35:17.50
No warning, dead.
00:35:17.53\00:35:23.01
I was amazed at how
NBC and the news world
00:35:23.04\00:35:26.06
were suddenly awash in
testimonies that you know,
00:35:26.09\00:35:29.46
I can feel Tim is
looking down upon us now.
00:35:29.49\00:35:33.67
You say, what, come on, Dwight,
00:35:33.70\00:35:34.73
what do you think
they're supposed to say?
00:35:34.76\00:35:36.46
That's what the world believes.
00:35:36.49\00:35:37.80
I understand that but the very
repetition of the serpent's lie
00:35:37.83\00:35:42.49
over and over and over
again conditions the hearer
00:35:42.52\00:35:46.39
whether a
believer or an agnostic
00:35:46.42\00:35:48.66
into at least a
subconscious tacit
00:35:48.69\00:35:50.98
acceptance of the
assertion as reality.
00:35:51.01\00:35:53.76
Maybe it's true.
00:35:53.79\00:35:56.12
You get enough of
these in your brain,
00:35:56.15\00:35:59.74
you watch it
enough times. Maybe...
00:35:59.77\00:36:06.57
Pastor Rick Warren
concluded his prayer
00:36:06.60\00:36:08.37
at President Barack
Obama's inauguration
00:36:08.40\00:36:13.89
with the observations,
00:36:13.92\00:36:15.63
I am sure it was
more to us than to God,
00:36:15.66\00:36:18.34
that Martin Luther
King Junior was looking down
00:36:18.37\00:36:20.40
upon this glorious moment with
that great cloud of witnesses,
00:36:20.43\00:36:25.23
quoting Hebrews 12:1.
00:36:25.26\00:36:30.34
Again, I understand Rick
Warren's misunderstanding
00:36:30.37\00:36:33.15
of the Bible truth about death
00:36:33.18\00:36:34.96
leads him to
pray the way he prays,
00:36:34.99\00:36:37.59
but the point is that
over and over and over again
00:36:37.62\00:36:40.91
there is a very
unsubtle conditioning
00:36:40.94\00:36:43.41
taking place in the human race,
00:36:43.44\00:36:45.66
a fattening of the calf
00:36:45.69\00:36:48.20
for the day of
slaughter, if you please.
00:36:48.23\00:36:51.71
Through the news
media, through the internet,
00:36:51.74\00:36:54.31
through Hollywood,
through television,
00:36:54.34\00:36:55.69
through the arts, through music,
00:36:55.72\00:36:57.37
through everything,
everything, everything.
00:36:57.40\00:37:05.25
You say, come on, Pastor,
00:37:05.28\00:37:06.73
what's this day of slaughter
thing you're talking about?
00:37:06.76\00:37:09.07
Ah, let me let the Bible
describe that moment for you.
00:37:09.10\00:37:12.35
Go to one other
text before we conclude,
00:37:12.38\00:37:14.04
just go to the end of the Bible,
00:37:14.07\00:37:15.14
go to Revelation, the
last book of your Bible.
00:37:15.17\00:37:18.12
Take a look at
this, Revelation 16.
00:37:18.15\00:37:21.39
Want to see the day
of slaughter, here it is.
00:37:21.42\00:37:24.39
It couldn't be
any plainer than this,
00:37:24.42\00:37:25.51
it couldn't be any
clearer in my book anyway.
00:37:25.54\00:37:28.02
Revelation 16, just
before the return of Christ
00:37:28.05\00:37:30.57
something's going to
happen on this planet.
00:37:30.60\00:37:32.53
Revelation 16, oh, by the way
00:37:32.56\00:37:33.71
that's page 831
in our pew Bible.
00:37:33.74\00:37:36.08
Revelation 16:13, "And I
saw three unclean spirits
00:37:36.11\00:37:41.36
like frogs coming out
of the mouth of the dragon,
00:37:41.39\00:37:47.55
the beast, and
the false prophet."
00:37:47.58\00:37:48.61
Who's that, Dwight?
00:37:48.64\00:37:49.93
Oh, those are three allied
political religious powers
00:37:49.96\00:37:53.72
that form a final
coalition to stand down
00:37:53.75\00:37:57.13
against Christ himself.
00:37:57.16\00:38:00.14
It's the earth
taken captive by Lucifer.
00:38:00.17\00:38:05.91
Who are these
three unclean spirits?
00:38:05.94\00:38:07.34
Verse 14, "For they are spirits
of demons performing signs."
00:38:07.37\00:38:13.50
Look at that,
the devil can perform
00:38:13.53\00:38:14.56
any miracle except resurrection,
00:38:14.59\00:38:16.10
and he can even
fake a resurrection.
00:38:16.13\00:38:18.57
He can do anything.
00:38:18.60\00:38:20.33
"They are the spirits
of demons performing signs
00:38:20.36\00:38:22.11
which go out to the
kings of the earth."
00:38:22.14\00:38:23.94
The highest,
the most politically
00:38:23.97\00:38:26.19
powerful people on earth
will be under that strategy.
00:38:26.22\00:38:30.71
"They go forth to
the kings of the earth,
00:38:30.74\00:38:32.33
oh, not just them, they
go forth to the whole world,
00:38:32.36\00:38:35.09
to gather them to the battle of
that great day of God almighty."
00:38:35.12\00:38:37.66
Verse15, Christ
interjecting his word,
00:38:37.69\00:38:39.69
"Behold I am coming as a thief,
00:38:39.72\00:38:42.32
blessed is he who
watches and keeps his garments,
00:38:42.35\00:38:46.14
blessed is she
lest she walk naked
00:38:46.17\00:38:48.25
and they see her shame."
00:38:48.28\00:38:49.47
I am coming, keep
clothed, look out.
00:38:49.50\00:38:52.81
And the verse
16, "And the demons
00:38:52.84\00:38:55.19
gathered the human race together
00:38:55.22\00:38:57.24
to the place called
in Hebrew Armageddon."
00:38:57.27\00:39:01.75
The human race fattened
for the day of slaughter
00:39:01.78\00:39:04.72
in unequivocal language.
00:39:04.75\00:39:06.74
The Bible declares that
there will be a demonic blitz
00:39:06.77\00:39:09.21
of unprecedented proportions
across the entire planet
00:39:09.24\00:39:13.44
at the midnight
of earth's history
00:39:13.47\00:39:15.63
just before the
return of Christ.
00:39:15.66\00:39:20.47
From the highest
and most powerful
00:39:20.50\00:39:21.94
in the governments of
earth to the lowliest villager
00:39:21.97\00:39:24.80
in the farthest
corner of the planet,
00:39:24.83\00:39:27.91
all will be swept
into the deception.
00:39:27.94\00:39:31.18
And by the way, at that moment,
00:39:31.21\00:39:33.45
this is where this
whole thing is going,
00:39:33.48\00:39:34.88
at that moment
knowing the truth about death
00:39:34.91\00:39:39.80
will mean the difference
between life and death for you.
00:39:39.83\00:39:44.00
Listen to me very carefully now,
00:39:44.03\00:39:46.23
I want to explain that to you.
00:39:46.26\00:39:48.92
When it comes to
God's reward of eternal life
00:39:48.95\00:39:52.92
for His friends after death,
00:39:52.95\00:39:54.91
I want to tell you something
00:39:54.94\00:39:55.97
that I didn't
say in the first two
00:39:56.00\00:39:57.25
but I will put it
right out here now.
00:39:57.28\00:39:59.59
The fact of the matter
is, it really doesn't matter.
00:39:59.62\00:40:03.01
You can say to me,
Dwight, death is a sleep,
00:40:03.04\00:40:05.31
you know nothing and then boom,
00:40:05.34\00:40:06.85
resurrection, you go to heaven.
00:40:06.88\00:40:07.99
Or if Socrates is right,
00:40:08.02\00:40:09.43
the soul goes to
heaven right at death,
00:40:09.46\00:40:11.74
either way just like
that you're in heaven.
00:40:11.77\00:40:15.07
So what's the big deal?
00:40:15.10\00:40:17.62
Ah, here is the
huge deal, write it down.
00:40:17.65\00:40:22.70
Should be in italics in your
study guide because this is it,
00:40:22.73\00:40:25.14
the whole teaching here.
00:40:25.17\00:40:26.39
The towering value of
God's Bible truth about death
00:40:26.42\00:40:29.88
is that it provides the
only spiritual and intellectual
00:40:29.91\00:40:34.30
safeguard,
protection, safeguard,
00:40:34.33\00:40:38.26
the only spiritual
and intellectual safeguard
00:40:38.29\00:40:40.42
from the demonic midnight blitz
00:40:40.45\00:40:42.30
that will sweep the earth
into Satan's final deception.
00:40:42.33\00:40:46.39
That's it, now let's
just illustrate this,
00:40:46.42\00:40:48.65
you and me together. All right.
00:40:48.68\00:40:49.80
We will take a cue
from the witch of En Dor.
00:40:49.83\00:40:51.41
We can do this.
00:40:51.44\00:40:52.47
So tonight, we're
sound asleep, it's midnight.
00:40:52.50\00:40:54.52
Okay, you and I
are sound asleep,
00:40:54.55\00:40:56.10
when all of a sudden in
the middle of our sleep,
00:40:56.13\00:40:58.42
something is shaking us,
something is moving the bed.
00:40:58.45\00:41:05.28
And then we hear a voice,
00:41:05.31\00:41:09.09
gentle and calm
calling our names.
00:41:09.12\00:41:13.31
Dwight, Dwight or
whatever your name is.
00:41:13.34\00:41:20.63
You know how it is,
somebody wakes you up,
00:41:20.66\00:41:22.61
you're kind of
groggy, it's so dark.
00:41:22.64\00:41:26.59
And then we look
to the side of the bed
00:41:26.62\00:41:31.25
and in that ephemeral
00:41:31.28\00:41:33.61
shimmering light, it's a form.
00:41:33.64\00:41:40.41
And in that instant
just before passing out,
00:41:40.44\00:41:44.05
we grab the covers to
throw them over our head
00:41:44.08\00:41:46.56
when the form
speaks, no, no, no, Dwight.
00:41:46.59\00:41:52.25
And when we hear the voice,
00:41:52.28\00:41:54.75
we know it's my dead
mother, it's my dead dad.
00:41:54.78\00:42:00.33
That's my dead
child, that's my dead wife.
00:42:00.36\00:42:03.51
And we look
again and sure enough
00:42:03.54\00:42:05.59
in that glowing light
there are the features,
00:42:05.62\00:42:08.82
the very form of one whose
death has crushed our hearts.
00:42:08.85\00:42:14.63
Shh, I am sorry to
startle you like this.
00:42:14.66\00:42:19.84
Dwight, I am
okay. I am in heaven.
00:42:19.87\00:42:26.47
God loves you so much,
00:42:26.50\00:42:29.20
He sent me to bring
you a very urgent message.
00:42:29.23\00:42:35.87
Listen carefully.
00:42:35.90\00:42:39.80
One day, ladies and gentlemen,
across the entire planet,
00:42:39.83\00:42:47.63
the day of slaughter will
come as a night of deception.
00:42:47.66\00:42:52.21
Mark these words.
00:42:52.24\00:42:54.42
And now, think,
think, think, think.
00:42:54.45\00:42:56.01
If you believe the serpent's lie
00:42:56.04\00:42:58.67
that when you die you don't die,
00:42:58.70\00:43:00.33
you go to heaven,
you have no choice,
00:43:00.36\00:43:03.41
you have no choice
but to believe that
00:43:03.44\00:43:06.06
that apparition is
precisely who it says it is.
00:43:06.09\00:43:10.28
You have to
believe it, you have to.
00:43:10.31\00:43:13.47
I mean, how could
it be possible for you
00:43:13.50\00:43:18.43
to challenge the veracity
of one who speaks and thinks
00:43:18.46\00:43:22.03
and has secret code languages
00:43:22.06\00:43:26.40
and love words that
only the deceased knew?
00:43:26.43\00:43:32.56
You and the deceased.
00:43:32.59\00:43:34.31
How could you
possibly challenge the veracity
00:43:34.34\00:43:37.67
of what you are
seeing in front of your eyes,
00:43:37.70\00:43:39.79
if you believe
that when you die,
00:43:39.82\00:43:41.41
boom, you go to heaven?
00:43:41.44\00:43:43.45
Mommy, mommy. Daddy, daddy.
00:43:43.48\00:43:47.34
Jesus sent me, I am here.
00:43:47.37\00:43:50.30
He loves you so much. I am okay.
00:43:50.33\00:43:52.60
He wants you to
know that it's important
00:43:52.63\00:43:54.79
that you believe and
then fill in the blank.
00:43:54.82\00:43:57.03
Anything Satan wishes
to deceive the planet over,
00:43:57.06\00:44:00.28
you just fill in the blank.
00:44:00.31\00:44:02.05
And by the millions and
billions people will believe.
00:44:02.08\00:44:09.25
It's got to be, it's got to be.
00:44:09.28\00:44:14.12
I repeat, the towering value
of God's Bible truth about death
00:44:14.15\00:44:17.33
is that it
provides the only spiritual
00:44:17.36\00:44:20.48
and intellectual safeguard
from the midnight blitz
00:44:20.51\00:44:26.42
of the demons of hell
for the day of slaughter.
00:44:26.45\00:44:31.07
That's why this
teaching is so critical.
00:44:31.10\00:44:34.82
You can quibble
with me all you wish
00:44:34.85\00:44:37.56
but now you know the difference
between truth and error,
00:44:37.59\00:44:43.62
will be
eventually the difference
00:44:43.65\00:44:46.42
between life and death.
00:44:46.45\00:44:49.81
It really will come
down to the midnight blitz.
00:44:49.84\00:44:57.30
Because if you know the truth,
00:44:57.33\00:44:58.61
come on, if you know the truth,
00:44:58.64\00:45:01.79
what's your mind
going to tell you?
00:45:01.82\00:45:03.06
I know what your
eyes are telling you,
00:45:03.09\00:45:04.55
that's got to be her.
00:45:04.58\00:45:06.77
I was with a
heartbroken young husband
00:45:06.80\00:45:09.04
who's a widower now,
just a few weeks ago.
00:45:09.07\00:45:12.37
He grieves for her so deeply.
00:45:12.40\00:45:18.43
You will have to choose
between what you've seen
00:45:18.46\00:45:24.01
and what you know and
it will be all up here.
00:45:24.04\00:45:29.18
That the battle will
be won or lost right here.
00:45:29.21\00:45:35.80
It has to be a demon.
00:45:35.83\00:45:37.64
That will be the hardest thing
you could ever say in your life,
00:45:37.67\00:45:39.43
it has to be a demon.
00:45:39.46\00:45:42.15
It can't be, the Bible says.
00:45:42.18\00:45:45.54
And by the way,
if the demons of hell
00:45:45.57\00:45:50.85
will impersonate the dead
as with the witch of En Dor,
00:45:50.88\00:45:53.10
do you suppose, I
got to ask you this,
00:45:53.13\00:45:54.85
do you suppose
the prince of darkness
00:45:54.88\00:45:56.30
himself might attempt
the ultimate impersonation,
00:45:56.33\00:45:59.63
and I wonder who that would be.
00:45:59.66\00:46:01.42
Whom would he impersonate
for the day of slaughter?
00:46:01.45\00:46:04.22
Two verses make my
case, 2 Corinthians 11,
00:46:04.25\00:46:08.07
put it on the
screen please. Verse 14.
00:46:08.10\00:46:10.63
Now if your
study guide says four,
00:46:10.66\00:46:12.08
you just add a
one in front of it.
00:46:12.11\00:46:13.71
All right, 2
Corinthians rather 11:14,
00:46:13.74\00:46:16.87
"And no wonder for Satan himself
00:46:16.90\00:46:19.56
transforms himself
into an angel of light."
00:46:19.59\00:46:23.72
All right, put that text,
00:46:23.75\00:46:25.01
couple it with Jesus'
own words, Matthew 24:24,
00:46:25.04\00:46:28.68
"For false christs at
the end of time will rise
00:46:28.71\00:46:32.10
and show great signs and wonders
00:46:32.13\00:46:34.11
to deceive if
possible even the elect."
00:46:34.14\00:46:38.22
Do you know what the elect are?
00:46:38.25\00:46:39.28
They are God's friends.
00:46:39.31\00:46:40.92
This test will be so, will
be cut so razor sharp close
00:46:40.95\00:46:45.47
that even His friends,
00:46:45.50\00:46:51.02
what is it, even His friends.
00:46:51.05\00:46:56.04
Don't you suppose
that Lucifer has it up
00:46:56.07\00:46:58.08
his nefarious sleeve one day
00:46:58.11\00:47:01.64
to impersonate Jesus
Christ himself? Come on.
00:47:01.67\00:47:07.77
Have you ever
heard of Benjamin Creme?
00:47:07.80\00:47:09.38
There we go now.
Benjamin Creme, an Englishman.
00:47:09.41\00:47:13.52
I wan to tell you about him.
00:47:13.55\00:47:14.87
This is now CBS
again, marketwatch.com,
00:47:14.90\00:47:17.42
just last month
on press release.
00:47:17.45\00:47:20.05
Now marketwatch.com is
not national enquirer.org.
00:47:20.08\00:47:24.83
This is the huge
economic engine of the CBS,
00:47:24.86\00:47:29.85
a web services. Marketwatch.com.
00:47:29.88\00:47:31.93
I want to read this
for you, last month.
00:47:31.96\00:47:36.10
"Dateline, Los Angeles.
00:47:36.13\00:47:38.25
Look now," Oh, by
the way, it begins,
00:47:38.28\00:47:40.53
I am going to
share this with you.
00:47:40.56\00:47:41.59
"For years the
world has been filled
00:47:41.62\00:47:42.65
with miracles of
all kinds," miracles.
00:47:42.68\00:47:44.76
"In April 1995,
Time magazine devoted
00:47:44.79\00:47:46.90
an eight page
spread to its cover story
00:47:46.93\00:47:48.69
on miracles and concluded,"
00:47:48.72\00:47:50.02
listen to this,
"People are hungry for signs."
00:47:50.05\00:47:53.13
Well, that's the biggest
no-brainer on earth, isn't it?
00:47:53.16\00:47:54.94
Everybody's just
hungry, give me a sign.
00:47:54.97\00:47:56.84
We become so visual,
everything now we have to see,
00:47:56.87\00:47:59.37
screen, screen,
screen, screen, screen,
00:47:59.40\00:48:00.65
screen, screen,
we are now visual.
00:48:00.68\00:48:03.35
So what's on the screen
00:48:03.38\00:48:05.48
or in front of us, we go for it.
00:48:05.51\00:48:07.02
People are hungry for signs.
00:48:07.05\00:48:08.12
Listen to this, "Look now
for the biggest miracle of all
00:48:08.15\00:48:10.94
in the very near future,
00:48:10.97\00:48:12.60
a large bright star
will appear in this sky,
00:48:12.63\00:48:16.15
visible to all throughout
the world night and day."
00:48:16.18\00:48:20.45
You Google this for
yourself, watch this now.
00:48:20.48\00:48:22.64
"Unbelievable? Fantasy?
00:48:22.67\00:48:25.18
No, a simple fact,
around a week later
00:48:25.21\00:48:28.24
after that sign in the
sky appears, Maitreya."
00:48:28.27\00:48:31.39
I am going to spell it
out for you, m-a-i-t-r-e-y-a.
00:48:31.42\00:48:34.57
It's all over, you
just go check it out.
00:48:34.60\00:48:36.29
"Maitreya, the world
teacher for all humanity
00:48:36.32\00:48:40.83
will began his open emergence
00:48:40.86\00:48:43.94
and though not yet
using the name Maitreya
00:48:43.97\00:48:46.41
will be interviewed on a
major US television program,
00:48:46.44\00:48:51.50
maybe CBS.
00:48:51.53\00:48:55.22
For over 30
years, here it goes now,
00:48:55.25\00:48:56.88
put his picture on
the screen for you.
00:48:56.91\00:48:58.26
For over 30
years, artist, author
00:48:58.29\00:49:00.42
and lecturer Benjamin
Creme has been preparing the way
00:49:00.45\00:49:04.42
for the emergence of
Maitreya and his group,
00:49:04.45\00:49:06.85
this is a group, now
there appears a group.
00:49:06.88\00:49:08.16
The masters of wisdom.
00:49:08.19\00:49:10.70
You go to Benjamin
Creme's website c-r-e-m-e.
00:49:10.73\00:49:13.81
You go to his
website, he tells you,
00:49:13.84\00:49:16.15
I am a medium, I am
a channel for Maitreya.
00:49:16.18\00:49:21.55
The messages are
coming through Benjamin Creme
00:49:21.58\00:49:23.41
who is spending his
life getting the world ready.
00:49:23.44\00:49:25.69
Now watch this, "Awaited by all
faiths under different names,
00:49:25.72\00:49:30.44
Maitreya is the
Christ to Christians,
00:49:30.47\00:49:34.67
the Imam Mahdi to
Muslims, Krishna to Hindus,
00:49:34.70\00:49:38.46
the Messiah to Jews
00:49:38.49\00:49:40.13
and Maitreya
Buddha to the Buddhists
00:49:40.16\00:49:42.19
and probably Mary
to Roman Catholics.
00:49:42.22\00:49:47.21
He is the world teacher
for all religious or not,
00:49:47.24\00:49:50.46
an educator in
the broadest sense."
00:49:50.49\00:49:52.36
Final line, "With
Maitreya and his group
00:49:52.39\00:49:54.77
working openly
(eventually) in the world,
00:49:54.80\00:49:57.48
humanity is assured
not only of survival
00:49:57.51\00:50:00.45
but of the creation of a
brilliant new civilization."
00:50:00.48\00:50:07.26
Come on, please.
00:50:07.29\00:50:12.07
Just another hoax, perhaps,
00:50:12.10\00:50:18.06
but a hoax the
world will be hungry for
00:50:18.09\00:50:22.34
when the planet is plunged
into a massive global crisis.
00:50:22.37\00:50:29.10
People are wide open then.
00:50:29.13\00:50:33.93
Note these words in
the apocalyptic classic
00:50:33.96\00:50:35.80
"Great Controversy" you
have it in your study guide.
00:50:35.83\00:50:37.73
Let me read it in your hearing,
00:50:37.76\00:50:39.12
"As the crowning act in
the great drama of deception,
00:50:39.15\00:50:41.89
Satan himself will
impersonate Christ,
00:50:41.92\00:50:44.39
in different parts of the earth
00:50:44.42\00:50:46.12
Satan will manifest
himself among men and women
00:50:46.15\00:50:48.42
as a majestic being
of dazzling brightness
00:50:48.45\00:50:51.44
resembling the
description of the son of God
00:50:51.47\00:50:53.92
given by John
in the Revelation."
00:50:53.95\00:50:56.40
Remember we have to
impersonate, we need it,
00:50:56.43\00:50:58.80
we need something to see
first and then we'll be like it.
00:50:58.83\00:51:02.36
See, keep reading, "The
glory that surrounds Satan
00:51:02.39\00:51:05.65
as the impersonated
Christ is unsurpassed
00:51:05.68\00:51:08.25
by anything mortal
eyes have yet beheld.
00:51:08.28\00:51:12.23
The shout of triumph
rings out upon the air,
00:51:12.26\00:51:14.47
Christ has
come! Christ has come!
00:51:14.50\00:51:16.43
The people prostrate themselves
in adoration before him
00:51:16.46\00:51:19.07
while he lifts up his hands
00:51:19.10\00:51:20.33
and pronounces a
blessing upon them
00:51:20.36\00:51:22.12
as Christ blessed his disciples
when He was upon the earth."
00:51:22.15\00:51:28.25
The next paragraph calls this
00:51:28.28\00:51:29.46
the strong almost
over mastering delusion.
00:51:29.49\00:51:34.35
Ladies and gentlemen, I
need to ask you in closing,
00:51:34.38\00:51:36.49
two questions.
00:51:36.52\00:51:38.26
Shall we believe our senses
00:51:38.29\00:51:42.56
or shall we
trust His scriptures?
00:51:42.59\00:51:47.14
You can't ave both.
00:51:47.17\00:51:49.47
Will we believe what we see
00:51:49.50\00:51:53.07
or will we believe what He said?
00:51:53.10\00:52:00.11
The choice will be that
stark and the stakes eternal.
00:52:00.14\00:52:06.82
In fact, Great Controversy,
00:52:06.85\00:52:07.94
jot this down, last one there,
00:52:07.97\00:52:09.36
"Only those who have been
00:52:09.39\00:52:11.68
diligent
students of the scriptures
00:52:11.71\00:52:13.41
and who have
received the love of truth
00:52:13.44\00:52:14.90
will be shielded
from the powerful delusion
00:52:14.93\00:52:16.82
that takes the world captive.
00:52:16.85\00:52:18.39
Would we in such a crisis
00:52:18.42\00:52:20.39
cling to the Bible
and the Bible only?"
00:52:20.42\00:52:24.54
Ladies and gentlemen,
00:52:24.57\00:52:25.60
I need to with all the
earnestness I can muster,
00:52:25.63\00:52:28.81
make this appeal to
you right now, right now.
00:52:28.84\00:52:31.11
Right now I need to appeal
to you to be just like Jesus.
00:52:31.14\00:52:38.80
By the way do you understand
00:52:38.83\00:52:39.86
that Christ himself faced
a midnight blitz of demons
00:52:39.89\00:52:45.80
on the burning
sands of that wilderness
00:52:45.83\00:52:47.74
after 40 days of fasting?
00:52:47.77\00:52:49.45
Do you realize an angel of light
00:52:49.48\00:52:51.50
showed up
pretending to be from heaven?
00:52:51.53\00:52:56.12
And when Christ defeated
Satan on his own ground,
00:52:56.15\00:52:59.92
what was the weapon of Jesus?
00:52:59.95\00:53:01.37
What was His weapon of choice?
00:53:01.40\00:53:03.37
"It is written, men and women
00:53:03.40\00:53:07.09
shall not live by
bread alone but by every word
00:53:07.12\00:53:09.63
that proceeds out
of the mouth of God.
00:53:09.66\00:53:11.63
Thy word have I hid in my heart
00:53:11.66\00:53:13.40
that I might not
sin against thee."
00:53:13.43\00:53:17.16
The Bible and the Bible only.
00:53:17.19\00:53:19.20
Ladies and gentlemen,
this is it, this is it.
00:53:19.23\00:53:23.31
The test will be that close,
what I see or what He says.
00:53:23.34\00:53:30.36
Look, you ever
take a final exam?
00:53:30.39\00:53:32.31
You've done it a thousand times.
00:53:32.34\00:53:34.13
You know you can't
wait till the night before,
00:53:34.16\00:53:37.64
you can't wait till the
night before to pass this thing.
00:53:37.67\00:53:42.99
You'd have to be
investing in advance
00:53:43.02\00:53:46.09
of the big final examination,
00:53:46.12\00:53:49.49
investing your time
00:53:49.52\00:53:51.27
or you will fail the
final, you will fail the final.
00:53:51.30\00:53:56.80
It will be so
strong that your eyes
00:53:56.83\00:54:00.80
will blitz your
mind and it's over.
00:54:00.83\00:54:05.25
Calf slaughtered.
00:54:05.28\00:54:09.01
I submit to you that this book
00:54:09.04\00:54:11.23
is your only
hope in Christ Jesus.
00:54:11.26\00:54:14.89
You got time, you got time.
00:54:14.92\00:54:18.29
Use the time to
read from this book,
00:54:18.32\00:54:20.84
to meditate from it,
seven days a week, eat the book.
00:54:20.87\00:54:27.88
It will protect you,
it will be Jesus doing it
00:54:27.91\00:54:31.01
but He has to have
something on the hard drive
00:54:31.04\00:54:33.97
to access in that moment crisis.
00:54:34.00\00:54:35.87
Quick, and then the word comes.
00:54:35.90\00:54:38.53
If you have not read
this book you're dead meat.
00:54:38.56\00:54:42.67
You are a fatted
calf and dead meat
00:54:42.70\00:54:46.20
on the day of slaughter.
00:54:46.23\00:54:47.86
I am not trying to scare
you, I am trying to urge you.
00:54:47.89\00:54:53.43
Take the book again.
00:54:53.46\00:54:55.73
So here's the deal, would you
be willing today to tell Jesus?
00:54:55.76\00:55:01.26
Let's do it in
each other's presence.
00:55:01.29\00:55:02.61
Just tell Jesus,
Jesus, by Your grace,
00:55:02.64\00:55:04.72
I know you beat
the devil, hallelujah.
00:55:04.75\00:55:06.95
By your grace I want
to consume this book,
00:55:06.98\00:55:10.30
I want this book
to be hid in my heart
00:55:10.33\00:55:12.68
so that on the day of
battle I'll stand with you,
00:55:12.71\00:55:16.39
I'll stand with you, Jesus.
00:55:16.42\00:55:17.86
You want to send that
prayer to heaven right now?
00:55:17.89\00:55:19.20
Stand to your feet
and standing to your feet,
00:55:19.23\00:55:21.52
you say Jesus, I take this word,
00:55:21.55\00:55:23.71
I take Your word, the
Bible and the Bible only,
00:55:23.74\00:55:28.78
the Bible and the Bible only.
00:55:28.81\00:55:32.65
The Bible and the
Bible only. Let's pray.
00:55:32.68\00:55:38.28
Oh, God, the Bible
and the Bible only,
00:55:38.31\00:55:43.68
our master himself,
the king that we worship
00:55:43.71\00:55:48.53
that was his only,
00:55:48.56\00:55:50.88
his only strategy
before that angel of life,
00:55:50.91\00:55:54.78
that deceiver who was out
to destroy Him, it is written.
00:55:54.81\00:56:01.86
Holy Father
there are many opinions
00:56:01.89\00:56:06.51
circulating on this planet.
00:56:06.54\00:56:08.95
For the last three Sabbaths,
00:56:08.98\00:56:11.50
we've gone to Your
word, Your word is truth.
00:56:11.53\00:56:15.44
Please, oh, God, let
us cling to this book.
00:56:15.47\00:56:20.69
And may every man,
woman and child here,
00:56:20.72\00:56:22.69
every man, woman
and child listening now
00:56:22.72\00:56:27.63
may together in Christ
we stand firm for the savior
00:56:27.66\00:56:33.81
on that day of
slaughter when He shall return.
00:56:33.84\00:56:37.26
Let at all the
people say, amen and amen.
00:56:37.29\00:56:43.31
Did you know that
there's one place in cyberspace
00:56:43.34\00:56:46.03
