From poisonous snakes to man-
eating crocodiles, Australia
00:00:23.82\00:00:30.46
is infamous for its
dangerous wild-life.
00:00:30.49\00:00:33.40
With more deadly snakes
than any other country worldwide
00:00:33.43\00:00:37.97
It isn't surprising that
you might even think that every
00:00:38.00\00:00:42.07
deadly creature is ready
and waiting to pounce on you.
00:00:42.10\00:00:45.44
It's true that Australia is
notorious for being a menagerie
00:00:45.47\00:00:50.91
of deadly creatures, the
box jelly-fish, the blue-ringed
00:00:50.95\00:00:55.35
octopus, and the Inland Taipan
are in the top 10 most venomous
00:00:55.38\00:01:00.16
animals of the world
and all live in Australia
00:01:00.19\00:01:04.56
and you might be
right to be concerned.
00:01:04.59\00:01:07.33
The fear snake or Inland
Taipan is generally regarded as
00:01:07.36\00:01:12.40
the world's most venomous snake,
one drop of its potent venom
00:01:12.43\00:01:16.67
is enough to kill 100
adults in about 30 minutes.
00:01:16.71\00:01:20.74
A large sting from the
highly venomous box jellyfish
00:01:20.78\00:01:25.28
can induce cardiac arrest
and kill within a few minutes.
00:01:25.31\00:01:29.92
Then there is the burrowing
octopus, it looks harmless
00:01:29.95\00:01:34.76
and is small enough to
fit in the palm of your hand
00:01:34.79\00:01:38.39
but it's more toxic
than many land-animals,
00:01:38.43\00:01:42.00
its venom could kill 20
adults in just a few minutes.
00:01:42.03\00:01:46.84
Those sharks, spiders,
and snakes get the majority of
00:01:46.87\00:01:51.44
bad-press, it's actually the
awesome array of predators and
00:01:51.47\00:01:55.34
venomous creatures that
have earned Australia its
00:01:55.38\00:01:58.85
fearsome reputation.
Join me as we learn more about
00:01:58.88\00:02:03.35
these deadly creatures
in Australia and discover
00:02:03.39\00:02:06.65
what is the unexpected and
most dangerous encounter of all
00:02:06.69\00:02:11.76
and it's relevant to
each and every one of us.
00:02:11.79\00:02:15.70
Over 130,000 people around
the world die from snake bites
00:02:29.84\00:02:35.32
every year. This astonishing
fact shocks us and generates
00:02:35.35\00:02:41.16
a huge fear of
snakes. Now what's surprising
00:02:41.19\00:02:45.59
is that 20 of the 25
most venomous snake species
00:02:45.63\00:02:49.93
live in Australia and with
approximately 170 snake species
00:02:49.96\00:02:55.04
sliding and slithering through-
out this great southern land
00:02:55.07\00:02:58.41
of which 100 are likely to be
venomous, it's easy to see why
00:02:58.44\00:03:03.71
people are afraid.
00:03:03.75\00:03:05.11
The most venomous snake in
the world, an epic predator
00:03:05.15\00:03:09.88
of the Australian Outback
the Inland Taipan is otherwise
00:03:09.92\00:03:14.09
known as the Fierce Snake
and the thought of stepping on
00:03:14.12\00:03:18.46
one of these snakes
while walking on the bush
00:03:18.49\00:03:21.83
almost paralyzes
people with fear.
00:03:21.86\00:03:24.13
Just one bite from an Inland
Taipan snake has enough venom
00:03:24.17\00:03:29.70
to kill 100 adult people, by
volume it's the most venomous
00:03:29.74\00:03:34.88
snake in the world to humans.
00:03:34.91\00:03:37.35
But to look at this
snake, you would think it was
00:03:37.38\00:03:40.62
harmless. It's a slender
snake about 2m long with a shiny
00:03:40.65\00:03:45.85
brown coat of smooth
scales and a creamy belly.
00:03:45.89\00:03:49.52
It's found in the Northeast
of the inland of Australia
00:03:49.56\00:03:53.03
and is respected because
its venom can kill a person in
00:03:53.06\00:03:57.00
such a short period of
time. But the good news is that
00:03:57.03\00:04:01.67
they are rarely encountered
and there are no recorded deaths
00:04:01.70\00:04:05.51
from the fierce snake.
00:04:05.54\00:04:06.98
Another Australian snake
that is included in the top ten
00:04:07.01\00:04:11.88
venomous snakes of the
world is the Common Death Adder.
00:04:11.91\00:04:15.62
It is notorious for having the
longest fangs and the fastest
00:04:15.65\00:04:20.56
strike of any snake in
the world. Its potent toxin
00:04:20.59\00:04:25.69
can cause paralysis or even
death within six hours of the
00:04:25.73\00:04:30.20
bite. Now, the Death
Adder is around one meter long
00:04:30.23\00:04:34.80
with a thick brown body
covered in red and black bands
00:04:34.84\00:04:39.47
and a creamy underside making
it the master of camouflage
00:04:39.51\00:04:43.98
in the loose-leaf litter
and debris where it lives.
00:04:44.01\00:04:47.62
Surprisingly the Death
Adder is mostly found in Sydney
00:04:47.65\00:04:52.32
Bushland in the
grasslands of the Eastern Coast
00:04:52.35\00:04:55.22
of Australia. Though
most residents of these areas
00:04:55.26\00:04:59.23
would never see one and
certainly don't want to see one.
00:04:59.26\00:05:03.20
Over the past 150
years, only 14 people have died
00:05:03.23\00:05:09.34
from a Death Adder snake
bite and the last one recorded
00:05:09.37\00:05:13.24
in 1975.
00:05:13.27\00:05:15.48
Now another very dangerous
snake in Australia is the
00:05:15.51\00:05:19.81
Eastern Brown Snake, it's
included in the Top 10 deadliest
00:05:19.85\00:05:23.95
snakes on earth. And
it's responsible for the most
00:05:23.99\00:05:27.59
fatalities of
any Australian snake.
00:05:27.62\00:05:30.79
The venom causes paralysis
and uncontrollable bleeding.
00:05:30.83\00:05:35.60
This snake is a thin brown
snake with a pale yellow belly
00:05:35.63\00:05:40.74
it grows up to two meters
in length and lives in the
00:05:40.77\00:05:44.84
open grass and
woodlands of Eastern Australia
00:05:44.87\00:05:47.74
where most of the
Australian population live.
00:05:47.78\00:05:50.51
The National
Coronial Informational Service
00:05:50.55\00:05:54.75
reports that between the year
2000 and 2016, the Brown Snake
00:05:54.78\00:06:01.09
was responsible for 23 of
the 35 deaths from snakebite
00:06:01.12\00:06:06.49
in Australia.
00:06:06.53\00:06:07.86
Now let's look at another of
the world's most venomous snakes
00:06:07.90\00:06:11.77
the Mainland Tiger Snake.
So, if you think you are safe
00:06:11.80\00:06:17.31
in the cooler climbs
of Australia, think again.
00:06:17.34\00:06:20.48
This species is potentially
fatal to humans and lives in
00:06:20.51\00:06:26.41
Southern Australia
including Tasmania.
00:06:26.45\00:06:28.78
It grows to about 1.2 meters in
length and has banded patterns
00:06:28.82\00:06:34.09
over its body. These Tiger
Snakes have been responsible for
00:06:34.12\00:06:39.39
three known deaths in
Australia since the year 2000.
00:06:39.43\00:06:43.40
While it's natural to
be frightened of snakes,
00:06:43.43\00:06:47.37
the reality is, the number
of deaths from snake bites
00:06:47.40\00:06:51.34
in Australia is very
small. Approximately 550 people
00:06:51.37\00:06:56.28
in Australia are admitted
to hospitals with snake bites
00:06:56.31\00:07:00.15
each year. But there is only an
average of two death per annum.
00:07:00.18\00:07:04.35
Now to put that into perspective
the World Health Organization
00:07:04.39\00:07:09.09
estimates that at least 130,000
people die from snake bites
00:07:09.12\00:07:14.43
globally, each year and only
two of that 130,000 are from
00:07:14.46\00:07:19.93
Australia. Another land
creature that causes a lot
00:07:19.97\00:07:24.01
of anxiety is the spider.
00:07:24.04\00:07:26.68
Many deadly species of
spiders live in Australia
00:07:26.71\00:07:30.85
but it is the Sydney Funnel
Web Spider that is renowned
00:07:30.88\00:07:35.42
as the world's deadliest spider.
00:07:35.45\00:07:37.89
It is famous for being
aggressive and as fangs
00:07:37.92\00:07:41.92
that can even pierce toenails.
And its venom can kill an adult
00:07:41.96\00:07:47.50
in less than an hour. Now,
what is really unbelievable
00:07:47.53\00:07:52.03
is that the Sydney Funnel
Web Spider is found in the
00:07:52.07\00:07:55.94
bushland and beneath logs
and bricks in the backyards of
00:07:55.97\00:07:59.54
Sydney Metropolitan Area. It
is the male Funnel Web Spider
00:07:59.57\00:08:04.88
that has the toxic bite
and has been responsible
00:08:04.91\00:08:08.75
for thirteen known
deaths in Australia so beware
00:08:08.78\00:08:14.16
when gardening
in the Sydney area.
00:08:14.19\00:08:16.89
And if you thought that
you might be safer in or near
00:08:16.93\00:08:23.20
the water in
Australia, think again.
00:08:23.23\00:08:25.83
The animal that is considered
to be the most dangerous
00:08:25.87\00:08:31.24
animal in Australia and the
most likely one to kill a human
00:08:31.27\00:08:35.14
is the Saltwater or
Estuarine Crocodile.
00:08:35.18\00:08:38.18
It's an aggressive and
territorial animal and is the
00:08:38.21\00:08:42.35
largest reptile in the
world in terms of their mass.
00:08:42.38\00:08:45.65
They're known to reach
over five to seven meters long
00:08:45.69\00:08:49.72
with heavily armored dark
ringed skin and weighing up to
00:08:49.76\00:08:53.60
1,000 kilograms. So, if
you are anywhere near a river
00:08:53.63\00:08:58.20
or Estuarine, near the
ocean in Australia, then beware.
00:08:58.23\00:09:03.57
There are warning signs at river
crossings and estuaries to alert
00:09:03.61\00:09:08.34
you to be careful as you
are in the crocodile's habitat,
00:09:08.38\00:09:12.15
in their territory. And if
by chance you are attacked by
00:09:12.18\00:09:21.06
one of these monsters, try
to escape the water and run.
00:09:21.09\00:09:23.26
And hopefully, you are faster
on land than the crocodile is.
00:09:23.29\00:09:25.43
So, is it safer to swim
in the beautiful blue waters
00:09:25.46\00:09:34.27
around
Australia? Well, yes and no.
00:09:34.30\00:09:38.37
Records show that the Great
White is the most dangerous
00:09:38.41\00:09:43.51
shark in Australia with a
recorded 314 unprovoked attacks
00:09:43.55\00:09:48.85
on humans. In 2020 Australia
was the deadliest location
00:09:48.88\00:09:54.22
for shark attacks in the
world with eight fatalities.
00:09:54.26\00:09:57.66
To keep swimmers safe, many
beaches have shark nets to deter
00:09:57.69\00:10:03.63
sharks, however, to reduce
your risk of shark attacks
00:10:03.67\00:10:07.70
it's always smart to
avoid swimming alone at dusk
00:10:07.74\00:10:12.84
in river mouths and
a long way offshore.
00:10:12.87\00:10:15.71
The safest place to swim
is always between the red
00:10:15.74\00:10:19.71
and yellow flags
of the lifeguards.
00:10:19.75\00:10:22.08
But the greatest risk to
swimmers at Australian beaches
00:10:22.12\00:10:26.19
is not actually the sharks,
but is in fact the dangerous
00:10:26.22\00:10:31.06
strong underwater currents
called rips which can drag
00:10:31.09\00:10:35.03
swimmers out to sea.
00:10:35.06\00:10:36.63
These rips are one the
greatest and most common hazards
00:10:36.67\00:10:40.90
on Australian beaches.
On average, rip currents are
00:10:40.94\00:10:45.67
responsible for at least 21
drowning deaths in Australia
00:10:45.71\00:10:49.34
each year. Thousands of people
flock to the white sandy beaches
00:10:49.38\00:10:54.32
every day in Australia, so
how can swimming in Australia
00:10:54.35\00:10:58.82
not be safe?
00:10:58.85\00:11:00.56
Well, at certain times of
the year it is even totally
00:11:00.59\00:11:04.63
prohibited to swim in the
tropical waters because of
00:11:04.66\00:11:08.26
deadly marine species.
One of these marine animals
00:11:08.30\00:11:12.17
is the small mollusk,
the Blue-ringed Octopus
00:11:12.20\00:11:15.77
found in rock
pools and on coral reefs.
00:11:15.80\00:11:18.81
It's a pretty little animal
that is only 5 to 20 centimeters
00:11:18.84\00:11:24.05
long but it can
be lethal to humans.
00:11:24.08\00:11:27.22
Its venom which is strong enough
to kill 20 humans is contained
00:11:27.25\00:11:32.65
in the salivary glands and
is passed on when the Octopus
00:11:32.69\00:11:36.66
bites you. Unfortunately
there is no antidote, so,
00:11:36.69\00:11:41.73
when you see the warning sign
Blue Ringed Octopus, stay away
00:11:41.76\00:11:46.63
from the water. The next deadly
marine animal on the coast
00:11:46.67\00:11:50.47
of Australia looks innocuous
enough but their stings can
00:11:50.51\00:11:55.34
prove fatal. The small Irukandji
Jellyfish has an almost
00:11:55.38\00:12:00.18
transparent bell that is
less than 3 cm across and has
00:12:00.22\00:12:05.35
four tentacles
up to 1 meter long.
00:12:05.39\00:12:08.02
It is the smallest and one
of the deadliest box jellyfish
00:12:08.06\00:12:12.79
in the world. Amazingly it is
even able to fire its stingers
00:12:12.83\00:12:18.17
into its victim.
00:12:18.20\00:12:19.57
But this little jellyfish is
nothing compared to its cousin
00:12:19.60\00:12:24.64
the Box Jellyfish, it's
one of the most venomous marine
00:12:24.67\00:12:28.51
creatures known that actually
hunts is prey and can kill
00:12:28.54\00:12:32.55
a healthy adult in minutes.
00:12:32.58\00:12:34.65
Now the box jellyfish is shaped
like a box about 20 cm long
00:12:34.68\00:12:40.59
and has tentacles
that reach about 3 meters.
00:12:40.62\00:12:43.79
Most box jellyfish have 15
tentacles in each of the four
00:12:43.83\00:12:48.96
corners and each tentacle
has about one-half million
00:12:49.03\00:12:53.23
venomous injectors.
00:12:53.30\00:12:55.14
In other words, a single box
jellyfish has about 30 million
00:12:55.17\00:13:00.18
venomous stingers. Venom is
delivered by millions of tiny
00:13:00.21\00:13:05.68
harpoon-like stinging
cells on up to 60 tentacles
00:13:05.71\00:13:09.58
and an encounter is said
to be excruciating and cause
00:13:09.62\00:13:15.12
cardiac arrest. This jellyfish
is found in northern Australia
00:13:15.16\00:13:20.10
waters during the warm summer
months. There are signs on the
00:13:20.13\00:13:23.80
beaches to warns
swimmers of the box jellyfish.
00:13:23.83\00:13:26.80
Since records have been kept,
more than 66 deaths from the
00:13:26.84\00:13:32.04
box jellyfish are listed.
00:13:32.07\00:13:34.24
Yes, Australia appears to
be an extremely scary place,
00:13:34.28\00:13:39.31
how can you
possibly expect to survive?
00:13:39.35\00:13:43.42
Well, as it turns out,
even though Australia is home
00:13:43.45\00:13:48.26
to a wide variety of dangerous
wildlife's not what it seems,
00:13:48.29\00:13:53.09
Australia has got snakes,
spiders, sharks, crocodiles,
00:13:53.13\00:13:58.57
killer jellyfish and a
whole host of other venomous
00:13:58.60\00:14:02.44
creatures. But look on the
bright side, at least we don't
00:14:02.47\00:14:07.11
have lions, tigers, elephants,
grizzly bears, or hippopotamus
00:14:07.14\00:14:11.81
wandering
around in the bush too.
00:14:11.85\00:14:13.18
Now this is another
surprising statistic.
00:14:13.21\00:14:17.25
Around 400 tourists to
Australia encounters a fatal
00:14:17.29\00:14:20.96
catastrophe during their visit
to the land down under each
00:14:20.99\00:14:25.33
year. That's more than one a day
but although Australia is famed
00:14:25.36\00:14:29.66
for having some of the most
dangerous animals in the world.
00:14:29.70\00:14:32.63
Statistically speaking you're
unlikely to be killed by an
00:14:32.67\00:14:37.31
animal here in Australia,
you're much more likely
00:14:37.34\00:14:41.04
to become a statistic in
a road accident or swimming
00:14:41.08\00:14:44.71
at one of beautiful beaches
than you are to be attacked
00:14:44.75\00:14:48.85
by a wild animal. In fact
if you are really worried about
00:14:48.88\00:14:54.09
dangerous animals in Australia,
your best bet is to give
00:14:54.12\00:14:57.93
horse-riding on this. Horses
and cows kill the most humans
00:14:57.96\00:15:02.66
every year of any animals.
In fact, in Australia horses
00:15:02.70\00:15:07.87
and cows have killed 77
people between 2008 and 2017,
00:15:07.90\00:15:14.44
that's far more
people than any other animal.
00:15:14.48\00:15:18.41
And what is even more surprising
is that the much-loved icon
00:15:18.45\00:15:23.59
of Australia, the kangaroo
that is not even considered
00:15:23.62\00:15:27.26
a danger to anyone has been
responsible for 60 deaths by
00:15:27.29\00:15:31.43
road accidents in
the past nine years.
00:15:31.46\00:15:34.00
That's more than any of the 10
of the most deadly and dangerous
00:15:34.03\00:15:38.70
animals in Australia.
00:15:38.73\00:15:40.27
So although Australia has
got the most venomous species of
00:15:40.30\00:15:45.11
land snake, snakes are well
down the list of causing deaths.
00:15:45.14\00:15:49.28
Snake deaths in Australia
average out at less than
00:15:49.31\00:15:53.01
two per year, nobody in
Australia has died from a
00:15:53.05\00:15:56.95
spider bite since 1979. After
the successful introduction
00:15:56.99\00:16:02.02
of anti-venom for
all native species.
00:16:02.06\00:16:05.33
The crocodile population is
on the rise following the ban
00:16:05.36\00:16:10.00
on crocodile hunting. So since
1985 there have been 34 attacks
00:16:10.03\00:16:15.97
and 11 fatalities. the
Blue- ringed octopus has caused
00:16:16.00\00:16:21.08
three deaths in
the last century.
00:16:21.11\00:16:23.75
But the real killer is the
Box jellyfish, it has caused
00:16:23.78\00:16:28.92
66 deaths since records began
in 1883. That's about one death
00:16:28.95\00:16:35.32
every two years.
00:16:35.36\00:16:36.83
So sometimes the least expected
animal is the most deadly,
00:16:36.86\00:16:42.26
the one we don't see or the one
that doesn't have the aggressive
00:16:42.30\00:16:46.60
reputation. Let's also
look at these surprising figures
00:16:46.63\00:16:50.97
from the National Coronial
Information System, the NCIS
00:16:51.01\00:16:55.18
that records
unexpected deaths in Australia.
00:16:55.21\00:16:59.28
It shows that on the average
248 people die from drowning
00:16:59.31\00:17:04.75
every year and 1,195 lose
their lives in road accident
00:17:04.79\00:17:11.26
deaths during the same period.
These numbers are far higher
00:17:11.29\00:17:16.43
than any attack
by a deadly animal.
00:17:16.46\00:17:19.23
So, sometimes it could be hard
to tell the difference between
00:17:19.27\00:17:24.81
what is deadly and
dangerous and what isn't.
00:17:24.84\00:17:27.61
And as we have seen it
isn't always a wild animal
00:17:27.78\00:17:32.11
that causes fatality. Now
as deadly as these ten animals
00:17:32.15\00:17:37.22
are, there is a far more deadly
of course that we encounter
00:17:37.25\00:17:41.92
every day in our lives.
00:17:41.96\00:17:44.39
I'm sure you have been watching
and reading the news lately
00:17:44.43\00:17:50.27
the images are
startling aren't they?
00:17:50.30\00:17:53.07
People attacks, fatal
car accidents, riots, deadly
00:17:53.10\00:17:59.24
viruses, brawls, terrorist
attacks, family tragedies...
00:17:59.27\00:18:03.45
It's a constant reminder
that we are living in a sad and
00:18:03.48\00:18:08.12
violent world and after every
news release, we might sometimes
00:18:08.15\00:18:13.36
ask the question
why is this happening?
00:18:13.39\00:18:16.36
Who is responsible, what is
the source of all these terrible
00:18:16.39\00:18:21.56
events and deaths? And more
importantly how will it all end?
00:18:21.60\00:18:26.97
So, how did evil, violence,
and destruction begin in our
00:18:27.00\00:18:32.01
world? Well, surprisingly,
it all began in heaven,
00:18:32.04\00:18:36.71
yes, in heaven all the
evil anger and bloodshed that
00:18:36.75\00:18:42.65
we see in our world
today had its origin in heaven,
00:18:42.68\00:18:46.09
here's what happened.
00:18:46.12\00:18:48.32
God created the angels and the
leader of these angels in heaven
00:18:48.36\00:18:54.36
was named Lucifer, he
was beautiful and charismatic
00:18:54.40\00:18:59.10
but his heart was filled
with pride, he wasn't happy
00:18:59.13\00:19:03.37
just being the leading
angel, he wanted to be God.
00:19:03.41\00:19:07.04
He desired to take the place
of God and when that didn't
00:19:07.08\00:19:11.65
happen he rebelled against God.
00:19:11.68\00:19:14.28
Lucifer gathered his followers
around him, a third of all
00:19:14.32\00:19:18.75
the angels joined his
ranks and rebelled against God.
00:19:18.79\00:19:22.29
This amazing angel Lucifer and
his followers fought against God
00:19:22.32\00:19:28.06
but Lucifer and his
angels lost the battle and were
00:19:28.10\00:19:32.70
thrown out of heaven. Let's
read what the Bible says in
00:19:32.73\00:19:36.44
Revelation 12: 7 to 8.
00:19:36.47\00:19:39.91
Now, the question
is where did they go?
00:19:54.76\00:19:58.19
And what are they doing?
00:19:58.23\00:19:59.73
Well, all the evil conflict and
strife around us tells us where
00:19:59.76\00:20:05.13
Lucifer and his angels
ended up. Yes! On earth,
00:20:05.17\00:20:10.17
our earth, right here
where we live but there were
00:20:10.21\00:20:15.18
consequences for
his rebellion in heaven.
00:20:15.21\00:20:17.68
Lucifer didn't get away with
his disobedience and rebellion,
00:20:17.71\00:20:21.55
he is no longer Lucifer the
first angel, his name is now
00:20:21.58\00:20:27.56
the devil, the enemy of God.
00:20:27.59\00:20:29.92
Now the Greek word for devil
is Diablos which means to split
00:20:29.96\00:20:35.80
and that is exactly what
the devil is, a splitter,
00:20:35.83\00:20:40.77
a divider, a wedge
driver, he divided Adam and Eve
00:20:40.80\00:20:46.34
from God in the Garden of Eden.
Instead of a daily walk with
00:20:46.37\00:20:51.21
God, Adam and Eve felt
ashamed of what they had done.
00:20:51.25\00:20:54.55
They tried to hide from
God and Satan has every intent
00:20:54.58\00:21:00.79
of doing the same to
you, he rebelled against God
00:21:00.82\00:21:05.26
and wants you and me to do the
same. He wants us to think God
00:21:05.29\00:21:10.27
doesn't care for us, he wants
us to think God is a tyrant.
00:21:10.30\00:21:14.80
He wants us to think God
is behind all the catastrophes
00:21:14.84\00:21:18.77
and evil in the world.
The Bible tells us, what Satan
00:21:18.81\00:21:23.61
is now doing, in 1
Peter 5:8 we read...
00:21:23.65\00:21:28.75
Satan is on the prowl, he
has many strategies and tricks
00:21:37.03\00:21:42.00
to destroy us, he's cunning,
he's subtle, he's smart,
00:21:42.03\00:21:46.33
he is far smarter than we are.
Satan is trying to create chaos
00:21:46.37\00:21:52.44
distractions and
destruction in our relationships
00:21:52.47\00:21:56.11
and everywhere in the
world, in every quarrel, riot,
00:21:56.14\00:22:00.38
war and violent act an unseen
spiritual war is going on behind
00:22:00.42\00:22:06.05
the scenes. Satan is the
mastermind of destruction
00:22:06.09\00:22:10.96
and one of his favorite tricks
is to create the toxic feelings
00:22:10.99\00:22:15.56
of unworthiness that
overwhelm us. We feel unworthy,
00:22:15.60\00:22:20.67
we feel alone, we feel isolated,
we constantly compare ourselves
00:22:20.70\00:22:26.44
to others and we come up
wanting, we are plagued by
00:22:26.47\00:22:30.95
self-doubt and feel
defeated by events in our lives,
00:22:30.98\00:22:35.38
we feel inferior to our
friends, workmates, and family,
00:22:35.42\00:22:40.12
we find ourselves constantly
replaying our regrets in life,
00:22:40.16\00:22:44.83
they cause such negative
feelings and we find solace
00:22:44.86\00:22:49.20
in places and activities that
are even more damaging to us.
00:22:49.23\00:22:54.14
These feelings of unworthiness
and inadequacy are Satan's
00:22:54.20\00:22:59.11
simplest tricks to get
us to feel that God doesn't
00:22:59.14\00:23:03.11
really care about us.
00:23:03.14\00:23:04.48
Satan wants us to follow
his lead and rebel against God
00:23:04.51\00:23:08.75
to blame God for what is
happening and to reject God's
00:23:08.78\00:23:13.56
love and His plan for our lives,
this is a war for allegiance
00:23:13.59\00:23:18.66
and control of the minds
of every man, woman, and child
00:23:18.69\00:23:23.16
on planet earth. And creating
low self-esteem is one of the
00:23:23.20\00:23:28.60
most effective tactics
that Satan uses to tear us down.
00:23:28.64\00:23:32.81
His greatest desire is to
damage and destroy our lives
00:23:32.84\00:23:38.15
and he uses many nefarious ways
to make us feel inadequate and
00:23:38.18\00:23:43.49
unworthy, under-valued
and separated from God's love.
00:23:43.52\00:23:47.76
He wants to steal your peace,
kill your dreams to destroy
00:23:47.79\00:23:53.13
your future, so, Satan is no
laughing matter, he hates you,
00:23:53.16\00:23:58.83
he wants to destroy you,
your marriage, your family,
00:23:58.87\00:24:02.40
carrier, finances, and life,
you won't have peace in your
00:24:02.44\00:24:07.08
life if you think you are
just fighting or contending
00:24:07.11\00:24:10.78
with another person
when conflict arises,
00:24:10.81\00:24:13.85
you are fighting against Satan,
against powerful spiritual
00:24:13.88\00:24:18.69
forces, the forces of darkness.
He's behind the scenes taking
00:24:18.72\00:24:24.56
every opportunity to
produce conflict in our lives.
00:24:24.59\00:24:28.66
Satan's insights persuades,
binds and rules and you'll
00:24:28.70\00:24:34.50
never to think you'll
outsmart Satan by yourself.
00:24:34.54\00:24:37.17
So, how do you fight
against this kind of power?
00:24:37.21\00:24:42.64
How do you defend yourself?
How do you get the victory?
00:24:42.68\00:24:47.48
Well, there is only one way
to escape the clutches of Satan.
00:24:47.52\00:24:53.05
Even though you were born
into a cosmic battle between
00:24:53.09\00:24:57.43
good and evil, you are born
to win because Jesus loves you
00:24:57.46\00:25:02.76
and has become your defense.
00:25:02.80\00:25:04.97
He's already defeated the
devil at the Cross of Calvary,
00:25:05.00\00:25:08.94
He's acted on your behalf and
by accepting Him, his victory
00:25:08.97\00:25:15.94
becomes your victory.
00:25:15.98\00:25:18.05
God wants us to feel loved,
He wants us to be successful.
00:25:18.08\00:25:23.32
God wants us to have
strong personal relationships
00:25:23.35\00:25:28.22
He wants us to feel worthy,
He wants us to feel special,
00:25:28.26\00:25:32.23
so, one of the best ways
to counteract Satan's attack
00:25:32.26\00:25:37.20
on you and to overcome is
to read the Bible and start
00:25:37.23\00:25:41.90
believing what God says about
you in His plan for your life.
00:25:41.94\00:25:46.44
Do you know what
God thinks about you?
00:25:46.47\00:25:49.44
Well, here it is.
00:25:49.48\00:25:51.28
And here's the really good
news, Jesus is returning soon
00:26:02.89\00:26:08.30
to this earth to end all of
the suffering and pain and to
00:26:08.33\00:26:12.73
destroy sin and Satan forever.
00:26:12.77\00:26:14.87
And Jesus is going to take
us to live with Him forever...
00:26:14.90\00:26:19.94
forever, in a perfect
environment where there will be
00:26:19.97\00:26:24.78
no more deadly animals, no
more pain, no more suffering,
00:26:24.81\00:26:29.05
and no more death.
00:26:29.08\00:26:31.35
If you would like to know
more about Jesus and how to have
00:26:31.39\00:26:36.12
a relationship with Him, if

Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank you that we have a
00:27:51.67\00:27:56.30
God in heaven who loves us,
we pray that you'll protect us
00:27:56.34\00:28:00.88
from the deadliest
dangers of this world
00:28:00.91\00:28:03.71
and also from the
attacks and deceptions of Satan.
00:28:03.75\00:28:07.02
Father, please keep us and
our families safe and grant us a
00:28:07.05\00:28:12.25
place in your kingdom
where there will be no more pain
00:28:12.29\00:28:15.99
suffering, or death.
We ask this in Jesus' name
00:28:16.02\00:28:20.50
Amen!
00:28:20.53\00:28:22.46
