LET ME TELL YOU WHAT
OUR TOPIC IS GOING TO BE.
00:01:20.34\00:01:24.58
TONIGHT -- THE TITLE OF THIS
PROGRAM IS ARMED FOR THE BATTLE,
00:01:24.58\00:01:28.78

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET A PEN AND
A PAPER AND YOU'LL WANT TO BE

00:01:38.13\00:01:45.27
WARFARE? WHY THERE'S SPIRITUAL
WARFARE. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY,
00:01:45.27\00:01:49.37
WE'RE GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
THE RULES -- OF ENGAGEMENT AND
00:01:49.37\00:01:55.98
HOW TO REALLY LEARN TO RECOGNIZE
WHEN YOU ARE IN A SPIRITUAL
00:01:55.98\00:01:59.68
BATTLE, AND HOW TO OVERCOME, NOT
BY MIGHT, NOR BY POWER, BUT BY
00:01:59.68\00:02:07.99
THE HOLY SPIRIT.-LET ME READ --
BEFORE I INTRODUCE OUR GUESTS --
00:02:07.99\00:02:17.40
THIS SCRIPTURE, EPHESIANS 6:12.
AND PALL SAYS WE DO NOT WRESTLE
00:02:17.40\00:02:25.64
AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD BUT
AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES, AGAINST
00:02:25.64\00:02:29.34
POWERS, AGAINST THE RULERS OF
THE DARKNESS OF THIS AGE,
-AGAINST SPIRITUAL HOSTS OF
00:02:29.34\00:02:37.42
WICKEDNESS AND
THE HEAVENLY PLACES.
00:02:37.42\00:02:39.99
AND YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IT,
BUT WE ALL ARE IN A SPIRITUAL
00:02:39.99\00:02:44.63
BATTLE, AND IT'S
A DAILY STRUGGLE.
00:02:44.63\00:02:48.43
LET ME INTRODUCE MY GUESTS
WHO ARE MY BROTHERS IN CHRIST.
00:02:48.43\00:02:53.00

THINGS I THINK WE NEED TO DO

FIRST IS I JUST WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR LOVE,
00:03:32.11\00:03:36.64
PRAYERS, AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT
OF 3ABN, BECAUSE WE COULDN'T DO
00:03:36.64\00:03:40.12
WHAT WE DO WITHOUT YOU,
AND THIS HAS BEEN A BUSY WEEK.
00:03:40.12\00:03:43.99
IT WAS A SHORT WEEK BECAUSE OF
THE HOLIDAY, BUT IT WAS A BUSY
00:03:43.99\00:03:48.76
WEEK, AND WE JUST DID A NEW
SERIES THAT WAS FANTASTIC.-BUT
IT HAS BEEN A LONG WEEK IN A
00:03:48.76\00:03:56.03
WAY -- SHORT WEEK BUT IT SURE
SEEMS LIKE IT HAS BEEN A LONG
00:03:56.03\00:04:00.67
WEEK TO ME. AND WE
HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A
00:04:00.67\00:04:04.91
GOOD DEAL OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
THIS NEW PROGRAM WAS ON ABORTION
00:04:04.91\00:04:09.51
AND RECOVERY FROM ABORTION, AND
THOSE PEOPLE BEFORE THEY CAME TO
00:04:09.51\00:04:14.18

THEY WENT THROUGH IT AS WELL.

OF MERCY FROM TENNESSEE.
00:09:34.10\00:09:37.31
IF YOU ARE JOINING US JUST A
FEW MINUTES LATE, TONIGHT WE'RE
00:09:37.31\00:09:41.31
GOING TO DISCUSS
SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:09:41.31\00:09:43.55
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW
TO BE ARMED FOR THE BATTLE, AND
00:09:43.55\00:09:47.65
THIS IS A LIVE PROGRAM, SO
WE WILL BE TAKING YOUR QUESTIONS
00:09:47.65\00:09:50.85
AND YOUR PRAYER REQUESTS IN THE
SECOND HOUR, YOU CAN EMAIL US AT
00:09:50.85\00:10:01.80
LIVE@3ABN.TV OR YOU CAN CALL US
AT 618-627-4651, AND WE WILL BE
00:10:01.80\00:10:08.64
VERY EXCITED TO PRAY FOR YOU,
AND TO ANSWER -- DO OUR BEST
00:10:08.64\00:10:15.18
ANYWAY -- TO ANSWER
YOUR SPIRITUAL QUESTIONS.
00:10:15.18\00:10:18.08
ALL RIGHT, GUYS. I --
I FIRST HAVE TO JUST SAY
00:10:18.08\00:10:23.62
THIS, 1 PETER 5:8, YOUR ENEMY,
YOUR ADVERSARY, THE DEVIL IS
00:10:23.62\00:10:30.69
ROAMING AROUND
SEEMING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
00:10:30.69\00:10:39.00
AND THE DEVIL IS
NOT OMNI PRESENCE.
00:10:39.00\00:10:47.28
HE DOES HAVE AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE
OF FALLEN ANGELS, BUT WE KNOW
00:10:47.28\00:10:54.55
THAT THAT IS WHAT -- WHAT HE
IS TRYING TO DO IS RUIN GOD'S
00:10:54.55\00:11:01.52
REPUTATION. >> YES.
00:11:01.52\00:11:02.26
>> SO KENNY, WHY -- IF SOMEBODY
IS TUNING IN, AND THEY ARE
00:11:02.26\00:11:07.60
SAYING, WHAT DO THEY
MEAN SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:11:07.60\00:11:11.97
HOW WOULD YOU
EXPLAIN THAT OR DEFINE IT.
00:11:11.97\00:11:16.17
>> IN MY MIND, FIRST OF
ALL, YOU THINK SPIRITUAL.
00:11:16.17\00:11:21.74
I'M THINKING SUPERNATURAL.
SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
00:11:21.74\00:11:26.72
AND THERE ARE WARS GOING ON, AND
THAT MEANS THERE IS GOING TO BE
00:11:26.72\00:11:30.79
A BATTLE. SO THERE
ARE SPIRITUAL BATTLES
00:11:30.79\00:11:33.42
THAT ARE GOING ON. WE
EXPERIENCE THEM EVERY DAY OF
00:11:33.42\00:11:36.96
OUR LIFE. AND
SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS.
00:11:36.96\00:11:39.36
BUT I JUST WANT TO READ A
COUPLE OF PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE,
00:11:39.36\00:11:43.87
BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE -- THEY
DON'T BELIEVE THE ENEMY HAS COME
00:11:43.87\00:11:49.30
DOWN. IN
REVELATION 12, A COUPLE OF
00:11:49.30\00:11:51.51
VERSES -- I'M JUST GOING TO GIVE
A HEADING AND YOU CAN JOT IT
00:11:51.51\00:11:55.21
DOWN AND READ IT, BECAUSE
THE BIBLE IS CLEAR ON THIS
00:11:55.21\00:11:59.31
REVELATION 12:7, SIMPLY
SAID THERE WAS WAR IN HEAVEN.
00:11:59.31\00:12:03.42
AND WE KNOW MICHAEL FOUGHT AND
THE DRAGON WAS FOUGHT AND HIS
00:12:03.42\00:12:08.72
ANGELS, AND NEXT
VERSE, THEY WERE CAST OUT.
00:12:08.72\00:12:12.56
SO WHERE WERE THEY CAST OUT TO?
SO VERSE 10 SAYS I HEARD A LOUD
00:12:12.56\00:12:19.57
VOICE SAYING IN HEAVEN NOW
COMES SALVATION STRENGTH AND THE
00:12:19.57\00:12:24.94
KINGDOM OF GOD.
ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN IS CAST
00:12:24.94\00:12:29.21
DOWN. HE ACCUSES
BEFORE OUR GOD DAY
00:12:29.21\00:12:31.88
AND NIGHT. SO FIRST
OF ALL WAR IN HEAVEN,
00:12:31.88\00:12:36.92
THE ENEMY. THEY
CAUGHT BACK BUT THEY WERE
00:12:36.92\00:12:38.55
CAST OUT TO THIS EARTH, AND THEY
OVERCAME HIM BY THE BLOOD OF THE
00:12:38.55\00:12:42.92
LAMB, WE KNOW. LET'S
SKIP TO REVELATION 12:12,
00:12:42.92\00:12:51.90
THEREFORE REJOICE YE HEAVENS
AND YE WHO DWELL IN THEM.
00:12:51.90\00:12:56.94
IF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT.
00:12:56.94\00:12:59.54
THERE WAS WAR, THE ENEMY WAS
CAST OUT, BUT IT SAYS REJOICE
00:12:59.54\00:13:04.78
YOU HEAVENS. AND WOE
TO THE INHABITANTS OF
00:13:04.78\00:13:12.55
THE EARTH AND SEA, BECAUSE THE
DEVIL HAS COME DOWN WITH GREAT
00:13:12.55\00:13:17.43
WRATH. THE DEVIL
IS A ROARING LION
00:13:17.43\00:13:23.60
SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
SO BEING CAST OUT TO THIS EARTH,
00:13:23.60\00:13:28.04
WE HAVE TO SAY WOE TO THE
INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH BECAUSE
00:13:28.04\00:13:32.47
THERE WILL BE SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
THERE WILL BE BATTLES GOING ON,
00:13:32.47\00:13:37.55
BATTLES FOR THE MIND,
BATTLES -- HE IS GOING TO TAKE
00:13:37.55\00:13:41.88
EVERYONE HE CAN DOWN. SO
I'M LOOKING AT THIS THAT IS
00:13:41.88\00:13:46.12
SOMETHING THAT IS SUPER
NATURAL THAT IS TAKING PLACE.
00:13:46.12\00:13:49.26
AND THE DEVIL IS
REAL. HE IS ACTIVE.
00:13:49.26\00:13:51.63
HE IS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP.
IN FACT WE'LL FIND AS WE SEARCH
00:13:51.63\00:13:56.50
THROUGH THE SCRIPTURE, EVEN
AFTER THE THOUSAND YEARS, YOU
00:13:56.50\00:13:59.67
KNOW, THE DEVIL DOES
WHAT? HE GOES OUT TO DECEIVE THE
00:13:59.67\00:14:07.41
NATIONS AGAIN.
HE IS NOT A QUITTER.
00:14:07.41\00:14:10.71
SO WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE
ENEMY, WHERE HE IS AT, HE BROKE
00:14:10.71\00:14:16.18
THE COMMANDMENTS, AND SO
WE HAVE A BATTLE TO FIGHT.
00:14:16.18\00:14:20.46
AND I'M LOOKING AT THIS TONIGHT,
IT'S WAY TOO BIG FOR ME.
00:14:20.46\00:14:23.69
THE ENEMY IS TOO BIG.
I'M NOT GIVING HIM CREDIT.
00:14:23.69\00:14:27.86
WE NEED TO
RECOGNIZE OUR ENEMY, RIGHT?
00:14:27.86\00:14:30.90
WHEN YOU HAVE WARFARE, I
WAS TAUGHT WHEN I WAS IN THE
00:14:30.90\00:14:35.20
MILITARY, YOU NEED TO KNOW YOUR
ENEMY AND WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF
00:14:35.20\00:14:39.37
AND WHAT HE IS
GOING TO DO OR TRY TO DO.
00:14:39.37\00:14:43.88
THAT WAY YOU CAN PREPARE.
AND IN OUR STUDY TONIGHT, WE'LL
00:14:43.88\00:14:48.55
BE PREPARING. THE
ENEMY IS CAUSING A LOT OF
00:14:48.55\00:14:54.09
HAVOC IN THE WORLD
TODAY, YOU KNOW THAT.
00:14:54.09\00:14:56.19
I KNOW THAT. >> SO
LET ME ASK YOU THIS
00:14:56.19\00:14:59.06
QUESTION? WHO IS THE DEVIL?
00:14:59.06\00:15:02.26
DID GOD CREATE A DEVIL? >> HUM.
00:15:02.26\00:15:05.03
AND THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
I THINK YOU CANNOT TALK ABOUT
00:15:05.03\00:15:07.97
THE CONCEPT OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE
WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE ENEMY.
00:15:07.97\00:15:12.47
BECAUSE THERE WOULDN'T BE A
SPIRITUAL WARFARE WITHOUT THE
00:15:12.47\00:15:17.11
ADVERSARY. HE HAS
MANY NAMES, MANY TITLES,
00:15:17.11\00:15:20.08
THE DEVIL, THE SERPENT, SATAN,
WHICH IS AN ENGLISH WORD, IT'S A
00:15:20.08\00:15:32.63
TRANSIT WILL RATION FROM
THE HEBREW WORD WHICH LITERALLY
00:15:32.63\00:15:36.77
MEANS ENEMY,
ADVERSARY, ACCUSER, OPPONENT.
00:15:36.77\00:15:41.40
SO WHO IS HE THE ENEMY OF?
WHO IS HE THE ADVERSARY OF?
00:15:41.40\00:15:46.71
AND OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT
WOULD BE GOD AND HIS GOVERNMENT.
00:15:46.71\00:15:50.68
AND THIS SPIRITUAL
WARFARE. >> WELL, WAIT, HANG ON.
00:15:50.68\00:15:54.05
WHO WAS THIS GUY?
>> HE WAS AN ANGEL.
00:15:54.05\00:15:56.72
AND HE WAS ACTUALLY ONE
OF THE CREATED ANGELS OF GOD.
00:15:56.72\00:16:01.46
AND HE -- YOU ASKED THE
QUESTION, DID GOD CREATE A
00:16:01.46\00:16:06.06
DEVIL? THERE'S
A SCRIPTURE IN THE
00:16:06.06\00:16:10.43
BIBLE, FOND IN EZEKIEL 28,
AN THIS IS GOD ADDRESSING THIS
00:16:10.43\00:16:19.41
ANGEL, THIS LUCIFER CHARACTER,
AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS HERE.
00:16:19.41\00:16:23.18
I'M GOING TO BEGIN
READING IN VERSE 12.
00:16:23.18\00:16:26.11
THE LORD SAYS YOU WERE THE
ANOINTED CHERUB WHO COVERS.
00:16:26.11\00:16:32.99
I ESTABLISHED YOU. YOU
WERE ON THE HOLY MOUNTAIN OF
00:16:32.99\00:16:36.56
GOD. YOU WALKED
BACK AND FORTH IN THE
00:16:36.56\00:16:40.56
MID-TS OF THE FIERY STONES.
YOU WERE PERFECT IN THE DAYS YOU
00:16:40.56\00:16:44.70
WERE CREATED UNTIL
INIQUITY WAS FOUND IN YOU.
00:16:44.70\00:16:48.90
SO HE WAS PERFECT IN
ALL WAYS AT ONE POINT.
00:16:48.90\00:16:53.34
>> AND THAT'S
SANCTUARY LANGUAGE.
00:16:53.34\00:16:55.41
>> ABSOLUTELY. FROM
THE FIRST LINE, YOU WERE
00:16:55.41\00:16:59.91
THE ANOINTED CHERUB WHO
COVERS, AND YOU WERE ON THE HOLY
00:16:59.91\00:17:06.99
MOUNTAIN OF GOD, YOU WALKED BACK
AND FORTH IN THE MIDST OF THE
00:17:06.99\00:17:14.66
FIREY STONES, AND I BELIEVE
MOSES AND THE ELDERS WERE
00:17:14.66\00:17:19.40
WALKING UP THE MUNTAIN AND THEY
SAW GOD, AND THE BIBLE DESCRIBED
00:17:19.40\00:17:24.01
IT AS PROTRUDING AROUND HIS FEET
WAS A PAVED WORK OF SAPPHIRE
00:17:24.01\00:17:31.38
STONE. IN
REVELATION IT TALKS ABOUT
00:17:31.38\00:17:35.52
SAPPHIRE SEA OF GAS.
REVELATION 15 DESCRIBES IT AS A
00:17:35.52\00:17:41.76
FIREY SEA OF GAS.
AND THAT'S NO DOUBT THE
00:17:41.76\00:17:46.76
BEAUTIFUL WORK OF SAPPHIRE
STONE AROUND THE FEET OF GOD.
00:17:46.76\00:17:49.93
AND THIS IS COMMUNICATING THAT
SATAN IS NO FLY-BY-NIGHT ANGEL.
00:17:49.93\00:17:55.87
HE WAS LITERALLY IN THE
VERY DIRECT PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:17:55.87\00:17:59.81
>> BECAUSE WE KNOW IN THE
MODEL THAT GOD GAVE WHEN HE
00:17:59.81\00:18:03.65
SAID -- YOU KNOW, THAT YOU
SHOULD BUILD THIS ACCORDING TO
00:18:03.65\00:18:06.41
THE MODEL THAT YOU WERE SHOWN,
THAT THE SANCTUARY, THE CHERUBS
00:18:06.41\00:18:13.79
WERE IN THE HOLY OF HOLY.
THERE WERE TWO COVERING CHERUBS,
00:18:13.79\00:18:19.63
SO HE WAS REALLY CLOE --
>> HE WAS ONE OF THOSE ANGELS,
00:18:19.63\00:18:25.00
YES. >> WE COULD
SAY HE WAS FOURTH IN
00:18:25.00\00:18:27.74
POWER, RIGHT? >> SURE.
00:18:27.74\00:18:29.67
>> SO THAT'S HOW
CLOSE HE WAS WITH GOD.
00:18:29.67\00:18:32.14
HE MADE HIM IN HIS
IMAGE. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:18:32.14\00:18:35.71
BUT IT STILL BEGS
THE QUESTION. WHO WAS HE?
00:18:35.71\00:18:39.65
OBVIOUSLY HE WAS THIS VERY
CLOSE COVERING CHERUB, BUT WHY
00:18:39.65\00:18:46.22
SPIRITUAL WARFARE?
WHY DOES SPIRITUAL WARFARE
00:18:46.22\00:18:48.22
EXIST? AND I
THINK THAT IS WHERE THIS
00:18:48.22\00:18:51.06
ULTIMATELY HEADING, AND
WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO A LOT OF
00:18:51.06\00:18:53.93
PROMISES IN THIS SEGMENT
TONIGHT, BUT WE HAVE TO COVER
00:18:53.93\00:18:57.27
SOME OF THE ORIGINS, AND MANY
PEOPLE ARE ASKING THEMSELVES WHY
00:18:57.27\00:19:01.90
DO I HAVE ENDURE -- OR BE A
PART OF THIS SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:19:01.90\00:19:07.68
AND WHEN YOU THINK OF SPIRITUAL
WARFARE YOU THINK OF THE
00:19:07.68\00:19:10.88
NEGATIVE ASPECT TS
OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:19:10.88\00:19:13.62
THE TRIALS AND HARDSHIPS THAT
THE DEVIL BESTOWS UPON US AS A
00:19:13.62\00:19:24.46
PERSON, BECAUSE WE
ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
00:19:24.46\00:19:29.43
REVELATION 12:17, IT SAYS HE HAS
MADE WAR WITH THE REMNANT OF HER
00:19:29.43\00:19:34.84
SEED, THE WOMAN, WHO KEEP THE
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HAVE THE
00:19:34.84\00:19:41.38
WORD OF JESUS. BUT
WHY IS HE WARRING AGAINST
00:19:41.38\00:19:45.81
THE PEOPLE? WHY
SPIRITUAL WARFARE?
00:19:45.81\00:19:47.12
AND I THINK UL NAMENTLY -- IT'S
INTERESTING, BECAUSE I
-PERSONALLY SEE THIS, SHELLEY,
00:19:47.12\00:19:52.92
AND WE MAY WANT TO SPEND JUST
A COUPLE OF MINUTES ON THIS.
00:19:52.92\00:19:56.49
YOU KNOW, I HAVE HAD A LOT OF
PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS THAT HAVE
00:19:56.49\00:20:00.10
ASKED ME, IN RELATIONSHIP TO
SPIRITUAL WARFARE, YOU KNOW, WHY
00:20:00.10\00:20:04.07
DO I HAVE ENDUE THIS? WHY
DOES IT ALWAYS SEEM LIKE A
00:20:04.07\00:20:08.44
GOOD PERSON LIKE MYSELF OR
OTHER-GOOD PEOPLE HAVE TO ENDURE
00:20:08.44\00:20:15.08
THIS WARFARE? WHY DO BAD
THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?
00:20:15.08\00:20:17.75
THERE IS A TEXT THAT I
WOULD LIKE TO READ HERE.
00:20:17.75\00:20:20.08
AND THIS IS INTERESTING BECAUSE
IT COMES FROM A PARABLE OF
00:20:20.08\00:20:26.02
JESUS. IT'S
REALLY, REALLY A GOOD
00:20:26.02\00:20:29.76
PASSAGE. I'M GOING
TO READ THROUGH VERSE
00:20:29.76\00:20:33.96
37 AND 38. NOTICE
WHAT THIS PARABLE SAYS,
00:20:33.96\00:20:42.17
MATTHEW 13:24.
ANOTHER PARABLE PUT FORTH
00:20:42.17\00:20:50.21
SAYING, A MAN HAS
SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FEEL.
00:20:50.21\00:20:55.95
BUT WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY
CAME AND SEWED TERRORS AMONG HIS
00:20:55.95\00:21:04.26
WHEAT.-AND WHEN IT BROUGHT FORTH
FRUIT THEN APPEARED TH TEARS
00:21:04.26\00:21:09.63
ALSO. THE SERVANT CAME TO HIM
AND SAID UNTO HIM, SIR, DIDTH
00:21:09.63\00:21:23.58
THOU SOW GOOD SEED?
THEN WHERE DID THE TEARS COME
00:21:23.58\00:21:26.68
FROM? THERE IS
AN IMPLIED QUESTION
00:21:26.68\00:21:28.68
HERE FROM THE
PERSON ASKING THE QUESTION.
00:21:28.68\00:21:30.85
AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE
SAYING DIDN'T YOU SOW THE GOOD
00:21:30.85\00:21:37.19
SEED? AND DID YOU
HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
00:21:37.19\00:21:39.23
WITH THIS? AND I
THINK AT SOME POINT WE
00:21:39.23\00:21:43.53
HAVE ASKED THAT QUESTION,
WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD
00:21:43.53\00:21:49.30
PEOPLE? DOES BAD
THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD
00:21:49.30\00:21:51.54
PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF
IS MAKING THAT PARTICULAR
00:21:51.54\00:21:54.48
OCCURRENCE HAPPEN? BUT
IT'S INTERESTING, NOTICE
00:21:54.48\00:21:57.21
WHAT JESUS RESPONDS WITH.
IN VERSE 28, HE SAID UNTO THEM,
00:21:57.21\00:22:03.82
AN ENEMY HATH DONE THIS.
IN OTHER WORDS GOD IS CLEARLY
00:22:03.82\00:22:08.96
COMMUNICATING THAT THE ENEMY IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THIS BAD
00:22:08.96\00:22:13.40
STUFF THAT IS HAPPENING.
AND THEN THIS IS THE EXPLANATION
00:22:13.40\00:22:18.10
OF THIS PARABLE. HE
THAT SOWTH THE GOOD SEED IS
00:22:18.10\00:22:21.57
THE SON OF MAN, THE FIELD IS
THE WORLD, THE GOOD SEED ARE THE
00:22:21.57\00:22:26.24
CHILDREN OF THE KINGDOM, BUT THE
TEARS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE
00:22:26.24\00:22:30.38
WICKED ONE, THE ENEMY THAT SOWTH
THEM IS THE DEVIL, THE HARVEST
00:22:30.38\00:22:35.08
IS THE END OF THE WORLD, AND
THE-pREAPERS ARE THE ANGELS. SO
WE CAN SEE THE ENEMY IS
00:22:35.08\00:22:41.89
RESPONSIBLE ULTIMATELY
FOR THIS SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:22:41.89\00:22:43.93
>> AMEN. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:22:43.93\00:22:45.43
>> I JUST WANTED TO BACK UP TO'
SEEK WALL 28 WHEN IT WAS TALKING
00:22:45.43\00:22:54.70
ABOUT THIS COVERING
CHERUB THAT WAS CREATED PERFECT.
00:22:54.70\00:22:58.34
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? IT
SAYS HOW YOU ARE FALLEN FROM
00:22:58.34\00:23:03.65
HEAVEN, OH LUCIFER, SON OF THE
MORNING, HOW YOU WERE CUT DOWN
00:23:03.65\00:23:09.98
TO THE GROUND, YOU WHO HAVE
WEAKENED THE NATIONS, YOU NOW
00:23:09.98\00:23:14.52
HAVE SAID IN YOUR HEART -- THIS
IS THAT COVERING CHERUB THAT WAS
00:23:14.52\00:23:19.36
RIGHT THERE NEXT TO GOD.
YOU HAVE SAID IN YOUR HEART, I
00:23:19.36\00:23:26.80
WILLTH SIN INTO HEAVEN. I
WILL EXALT MY THROWN ABOVE THE
00:23:26.80\00:23:31.31
STARS OF GOD. I WILL
ALSO SIT ON THE MOUNT OF
00:23:31.31\00:23:36.34
THE CONGREGATION. ON
THE FARTHEST SIDES OF THE
00:23:36.34\00:23:44.49
NORTH. I WILL
ASCEND LIKE THE HEIGHTS
00:23:44.49\00:23:48.06
OF THE CLOUDS. I WILL BE LIKE
THE MOST HIGH.-NOW WE SEE HERE
00:23:48.06\00:23:54.93
THAT WHAT HAPPENED IS YOU HAVE
GOT SOMEONE -- A CREATED BEING
00:23:54.93\00:23:59.93
THAT WANTS TO BE LIKE GOD.
HE WANTS THE WORSHIP THAT IS
00:23:59.93\00:24:04.24
ONLY DUE TO THE GOD HEAD, AND SO
SUDDENLY, YOU HAVE GOT SOMEBODY
00:24:04.24\00:24:09.41
THAT THIS IS
WHAT STARTED -- PRIDE.
00:24:09.41\00:24:15.78
PRIDE IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.
THAT'S THE ORIGINAL -- REALLY,
00:24:15.78\00:24:19.09
THAT'S THE ORIGINAL SIN, AND IF
YOU THINK ABOUT THIS, PRIDE IS
00:24:19.09\00:24:22.59
THE OPPOSITE OF HUMILITY.
JESUS CAME TO EARTH AND WAS
00:24:22.59\00:24:28.36
TOTALLY HUMBLED. HE
TOTALLY RELIED ON HIS FATHER.
00:24:28.36\00:24:32.43
AND THAT'S WHY IN PHILLIPIANS
2:5 IT SAYS LET THIS MIND BE IN
00:24:32.43\00:24:38.44
YOU THAT WAS IN CHRIST JESUS.
WE ARE HUMBLE ENOUGH, AND HERE
00:24:38.44\00:24:42.21
YOU HAE GOT A BEING THAT IS
JUST THE OPPOSITE OF CHRIST AND
00:24:42.21\00:24:48.12
THE -- THE OTHER SINNERED LOVE
OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE
00:24:48.12\00:24:54.02
SPIRIT, WHO IS
SAYING, I WANT WHAT THEY GOT.
00:24:54.02\00:24:57.43
PRIDE ENTERED UP. THIS
IS HERE HE TRICKED A THIRD
00:24:57.43\00:25:01.63
OF THE ANGELS, AND
THIS IS WHERE EVIL BEGAN.
00:25:01.63\00:25:05.63
GOD DID NOT CREATE A DEVIL, BUT
DON'T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT
00:25:05.63\00:25:09.34
THE DEVIL IS NOT REAL, AND DON'T
THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT NOT
00:25:09.34\00:25:13.21
ONLY DOES HE WANT TO DESTROY
GOD'S IMAGE, BUT HE WANTS TO
00:25:13.21\00:25:18.38
DESTROY YOU. THAT'S
THE BOTTOM LINE, ISN'T
00:25:18.38\00:25:20.78
IT? >> YEAH.
00:25:20.78\00:25:21.38
>> THAT'S TRUE. >>
YOU KNOW, THE ONE YOU WERE
00:25:21.38\00:25:25.19
TALKING ABOUT A
WHILE AGO ABOUT THE SEED.
00:25:25.19\00:25:27.62
EVERY SEED THAT IS
SEWN PRODUCES A HARVEST.
00:25:27.62\00:25:33.43
EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT
PRODUCES SOME KIND OF A HARVEST.
00:25:33.43\00:25:37.80
IT MIGHT BE DOWN THE ROAD, BUT
THE THINGS THAT WE SAY AND DO,
00:25:37.80\00:25:41.54
THERE IS GOING TO BE A HARVEST,
SO WE HAVE TO REALIZE IN THIS
00:25:41.54\00:25:45.54
WORLD HERE -- SINCE WE'RE
IN A BATTLE -- I CALL IT BATTLE
00:25:45.54\00:25:55.38
ROYAL. THE ENEMY
IS GOING TO DEFEAT US
00:25:55.38\00:25:58.12
BY DECEPTION. WHAT
WE'RE FACED WITH -- AND
00:25:58.12\00:26:01.72
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS BATTLE,
IT'S ALL ABOUT DECEPTION.
00:26:01.72\00:26:05.93
AND I LOOK AROUND IN THE WORLD
TODAY, AND ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU
00:26:05.93\00:26:08.90
SEE IS ALMOST
LIKE IT'S NOT REAL.
00:26:08.90\00:26:11.43
IT'S DECEPTION. IT'S DECEIVING.
00:26:11.43\00:26:14.20
IT'S ALLURING -- THE DEVIL IS
TRYING TO LURE US INTO THE TRAP
00:26:14.20\00:26:19.47
THAT HE HAS SET BEFORE US,
THROUGH OUR EYES, AND EARS, AND
00:26:19.47\00:26:24.41
TONGUE. HE MIGHT
SLEEP AT NIGHT, BUT THE
00:26:24.41\00:26:27.12
DEVIL DOESN'T SLEEP. HE
IS BUSY LAYING A SNARE FOR US
00:26:27.12\00:26:36.02
THE NEXT DAY. BECAUSE
HE IS STUDYING US AS WE
00:26:36.02\00:26:40.00
SHOULD BE STUDYING. WE
SHOULD BE STUDYING ABOUT THE
00:26:40.00\00:26:43.10
MIND AND HOW OUR MINDS SHOULD BE
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, BECAUSE THE
00:26:43.10\00:26:48.50
ENEMY IS GOING TO DO WHAT?
THERE ARE TWO POWERS, RIGHT?
00:26:48.50\00:26:53.61
FIGHTING FOR THE MIND, A EVIL.
PRAISE GOD FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:26:53.61\00:26:58.91
THE ENEMY IS FIGHTING
FOR THE MIND.-THE MIND CAN BE
00:26:58.91\00:27:04.99
CONTAMINATED BY THE THINGS WE
TAKE INTO OUR BODY, AND A LOT OF
00:27:04.99\00:27:08.26
THINGS THAT WE SEE IN THE
WORLD THAT WE DEAL WITH HERE.
00:27:08.26\00:27:12.96
SO HE WANTS TO CONTROL YOU,
CONTROL ME THROUGH THE MIND.
00:27:12.96\00:27:16.20
AND LITTLE THOUGHTS COME IN
YOUR MIND SOMETIMES, AND YOU'LL
00:27:16.20\00:27:20.50
THINK, WELL, IT'S ME.
AND SOMEBODY SAID HOW ARE WE
00:27:20.50\00:27:25.74
GOING TO KNOW? THIS
COULD BE A LONG SUBJECT
00:27:25.74\00:27:30.45
MATTER? BUT SHORTEN IT DOWN.
00:27:30.45\00:27:32.21
IF IT DOESN'T LINE UP
WITH THE WORD OF GOD YOU CAN BE
00:27:32.21\00:27:36.95
GUARANTEED THAT IT IS
NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT AT ALL.
00:27:36.95\00:27:41.12
THE ENEMY IS ALWAYS TAKING US
DOWN THE WRONG PATH, MAKING US
00:27:41.12\00:27:45.56
THINK THAT MAYBE IT'S
OKAY. OUR EYES BECOME DARKENED.
00:27:45.56\00:27:50.90
SIN HAS DARKENED OUR PERCEPTION
OF WHAT IS IN THE WORLD.
00:27:50.90\00:27:56.37
WE SEE THROUGH WHAT
A GLASS -- >> DIMLY.
00:27:56.37\00:27:58.97
>> DIMLY, DARKLY NOW.
AND ONE OF THESE DAYS WE ARE
00:27:58.97\00:28:03.41
GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE
CLEAR. OUR CHILDREN -- YOU KNOW,
00:28:03.41\00:28:08.38
WATCHING OUR CHILDREN AND WHAT
OUR CHILDREN ARE VIEWING, WHAT
00:28:08.38\00:28:11.29
THEY ARE LOOKING AT, WHAT THEY
ARE -- ON THE COMPUTER, WHATEVER
00:28:11.29\00:28:15.66
IT MIGHT BE, BECAUSE IT IS IN
THE EARLIEST YEARS OF THEIR LIFE
00:28:15.66\00:28:20.20
THAT THE ENEMY BEGINS TO WORK,
BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN THEIR MINDS
00:28:20.20\00:28:28.90
ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE.
YOU CAN BEND THE TWIG.
00:28:28.90\00:28:34.91
IT'S HARD TO
BEND AN OLD OAK TREE.
00:28:34.91\00:28:43.25
ENOCH, WHAT DID HE DO IN HIS
MIND WAS EDUCATED TO THING ON
00:28:43.25\00:28:48.82
GODLY THINGS.
SOMETIMES WE'RE EDUCATING OUR
00:28:48.82\00:28:51.66
MIND ON THINGS OF THIS WORLD,
BECAUSE IT LOOKS GOOD, TASTES
00:28:51.66\00:28:55.53
GOOD, THINK IT'S GOOD,
WHATEVER. SOMEBODY SAID -- I
00:28:55.53\00:28:59.93
MENTIONED -- THE GRASS IS
GREENER WHERE YOU WATER IT.
00:28:59.93\00:29:03.74
DOES THAT MAKE
SENSE? [ LAUGHTER ]
00:29:03.74\00:29:05.77
>> YES. SO WE
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH
00:29:05.77\00:29:07.98
WHAT THE ENEMY IS DOING.
THE MIND -- NOTICE THIS -- YOUR
00:29:07.98\00:29:12.85
MIND CAN BE HYPNOTIZED
BY SEDUCING INFLUENCES.
00:29:12.85\00:29:17.35
SO WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:29:17.35\00:29:23.36
THE ENEMY USES HYPNOSIS.
WHAT DID HE DO WITH EVE?
00:29:23.36\00:29:29.26
MAYBE WHEN SHE
COME BY, YOU KNOW?
00:29:29.26\00:29:31.17
AND HE BEGAN TO USE HYPNOTIC
TRANSOR IN A SENSE HYPNOTIZE
00:29:31.17\00:29:39.04
HER, AND HE HYPNOTIZES US, SO WE
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, THE BATTLE
00:29:39.04\00:29:48.52
IS IN THE MIND. >> LET
ME ASK YOU TIS QUESTION,
00:29:48.52\00:29:52.82
IF THERE IS THIS GREAT
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN GOOD AND
00:29:52.82\00:29:58.13
EVIL, WHAT IS -- WHY
IS THERE THE CONTROVERSY.
00:29:58.13\00:30:03.10
I MEAN, WE SAID, SATAN
WANTS THE WORSHIP OF GOD.
00:30:03.10\00:30:09.87
HE HAS BEEN KICKED OUT, BUT WHAT
IS HIS PURPOSE IN ATTACKING US?
00:30:09.87\00:30:15.51
IT'S ALL ABOUT
DISCREDITING GOD, ISN'T IT?
00:30:15.51\00:30:18.55
>> ABSOLUTELY. I THINK
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION
00:30:18.55\00:30:21.35
KIND OF SEGUEING FROM WHERE HE
JUST LEFT OFF, THE ENEMY IS THE
00:30:21.35\00:30:29.36
ULTIMATE DECEIVER. >>
HE WAS ABLE TO DECEIVER A
00:30:29.36\00:30:33.09
THIRD OF THE ANGELS. >>
PERFECT INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD
00:30:33.09\00:30:36.60
NEVER SEEN SIN. WHICH
IS WHAT WE'RE STRIVING TO
00:30:36.60\00:30:39.97
BE. WE'RE STRIVING TO BE PERFECT
00:30:39.97\00:30:43.34
LIKE CHRIST WAS PERFECT. SO
TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION -- I
00:30:43.34\00:30:48.04
WANT TO GO BACK TO A SCRIPTURE.
REVOLUTION 12:7, AND THERE WAS
00:30:48.04\00:30:53.38
WAR IN HEAVEN -- SO THIS
WHOLE CONVERSATION OF SPIRITUAL
00:30:53.38\00:30:56.75
WARFARE, I MEAN IT
GOES WELL BEYOND -- I MEAN
00:30:56.75\00:30:59.45
IT'S -- IT'S -- ETERNITY PAST.
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU
00:30:59.45\00:31:04.69
KNOW, BEFORE POTENTIALLY
THERE WAS AN ADAM OR EVE IN THIS
00:31:04.69\00:31:08.80
WORLD, SO THIS HAD BEEN BOILING
PERHAPS IN THE HEART OF LUCIFER
00:31:08.80\00:31:13.60
FOR SOMETIME, A JEALOUSY, A
PRIDE, A SELFISHNESS, BUT IT
00:31:13.60\00:31:20.94
LEAD TO THIS
GREAT WAR IN HEAVEN.
00:31:20.94\00:31:22.88
AND THERE WAS WAR IN HEAVEN AND
MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS FOUGHT
00:31:22.88\00:31:26.08
AGAINST THE DRAGON, AND THE
DRAGON FOUGHT AND HIS ANGELS.
00:31:26.08\00:31:32.65
I HAVE THOUGHT OF
THIS OVER AND OVER.
00:31:32.65\00:31:35.12
I THOUGHT IF I COULD FOR A
MOMENT PUT MYSELF IN LUCIFER'S
00:31:35.12\00:31:40.33
SHOES. LUCIFER IS
MUCH MORE POWERFUL
00:31:40.33\00:31:43.70
THAN ME, BUT NONETHELESS
HE IS STILL A CREATED BEING.
00:31:43.70\00:31:48.84
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND
WOULD WANT TO CHALLENGE GOD IN A
00:31:48.84\00:31:55.61
FIGHT? >> SOMEONE
WHO IS SELF DECEIVED.
00:31:55.61\00:32:10.73
>> WELL, BEAR WITH ME. HE
DESIRES WORSHIP AT THE STERN
00:32:10.73\00:32:17.47
OF THIS GREAT CONTROVERSY
BATTLE, IT'S ALL ABOUT WARSHIP.
00:32:17.47\00:32:23.77
I HEARD A MINISTER SPEAK ON
THIS, AND I THOUGHT I'M GOING TO
00:32:23.77\00:32:27.84
RESEARCH JUST TO
SEE IF IT'S THE CASE.
00:32:27.84\00:32:30.78
I DID A RESEARCH ON THE VERY
NATURE OF THIS WAR IN HEAVEN.
00:32:30.78\00:32:36.65
SO, AGAIN, I CAN'T IMAGINE SATAN
THINKING HE HAS THE POWER TO
00:32:36.65\00:32:42.49
CHALLENGE JESUS OR
GOD THE FATHER TO A FIGHT.
00:32:42.49\00:32:46.06
THAT'S A LOSING BATTLE
AND IT HADN'T EVEN BEGUN.
00:32:46.06\00:32:49.66
BUT NONETHELESS THERE WAS SOME
TYPE OF TENSION OR ARGUMENT OR
00:32:49.66\00:32:54.44
FIGHTING GOING ON. THE
WORD FOR WAR IN THE ORIGINAL
00:32:54.44\00:32:58.44
GREEK IS THE WORLD POLEMOS. I
LOOKED THAT UP, AND IT'S WHERE
00:32:58.44\00:33:06.15
WE GET OUR
ENGLISH WORE, POLEMIC.
00:33:06.15\00:33:11.35
WHAT IS THAT? >> POLITICS.
00:33:11.35\00:33:14.06
>> IT'S AN ARGUMENT.
IT'S AN INTENSE ARGUMENT.
00:33:14.06\00:33:18.83
AND IT'S WHERE WE DERIVE OUR
ENGLISH WORD, WHICH IS POLITICS.
00:33:18.83\00:33:24.70
WHAT IS AT THE VERY
HEART AND GOAL OF A POLITICIAN?
00:33:24.70\00:33:27.74
THEY WANT TO MANIPULATE WORDS
AND THOUGHTS AND IDEAS TO WIN
00:33:27.74\00:33:32.74
PEOPLE OVER TO THEIR
SIDE OR TO THEIR FAVOR.
00:33:32.74\00:33:35.71
IN THIS CASE, I THINK THE VERY
NATURE -- NOT THAT THERE WASN'T
00:33:35.71\00:33:42.98
A PHYSICAL ELEMENT TO THE WAR IN
HEAVEN, BUT AT THEVERY HEART, I
00:33:42.98\00:33:47.99
BELIEVE, WHAT WAS REALLY
THE CASE WAS THERE WAS A WAR OF
00:33:47.99\00:33:51.29
THOUGHT, A WAR OF IDEA.
AND THIS IS WHAT COMES INTO
00:33:51.29\00:33:57.07
ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION.
WILL YOU ASK YOUR QUESTION ONE
00:33:57.07\00:33:59.77
MORE TIME SO I CAN UNDERSTAND
THE ELEMENT OF YOUR QUESTION.
00:33:59.77\00:34:02.74
I THINK YOU WERE ASKING
-- >> I FORGOT BECAUSE I'M
00:34:02.74\00:34:06.17
LISTENING TO YOU. >>
WHY WOULD SATAN LAUNCH US
00:34:06.17\00:34:10.91
INTO THIS WARFARE
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
00:34:10.91\00:34:13.25
I THINK IT'S BASICALLY WITHIN
THE VERY REALITY OF THE WAR
00:34:13.25\00:34:17.25
ITSELF, WHICH IS HE
WANTS TO DISCREDIT GOD.
00:34:17.25\00:34:20.86
HE WANTS TO CAUSE AS MANY PEOPLE
AS POSSIBLE, THA, OF COURSE,
00:34:20.86\00:34:24.53
THE FALLEN ANGELS, WHICH,
AGAIN, ONE THIRD OF THE ANGELS
00:34:24.53\00:34:29.70
ULTIMATELY FOLLOWED HIM.
AND NOW THAT WAR HAS TRANSCENDED
00:34:29.70\00:34:33.03
ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE ON EARTH,
HE IS TRYING TO DISCREDIT GOD.
00:34:33.03\00:34:37.74
HE WANTS US TO HAVE A NEGATIVE
IMAGE OF GOD OR TO BELIEVE THAT
00:34:37.74\00:34:42.01
GOD IS SOMEONE THAT HE IS
NOT. LET ME GIVE AN EXAMPLE.
00:34:42.01\00:34:45.28
NOW WE'RE GETTING INTO BIBLICAL
EXAMPLES OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:34:45.28\00:34:52.62
THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF
SPIRITUAL WARFARE WOULD BE
JOB.-JOB ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE
00:34:52.62\00:35:04.87
BEEN PRE-MOSES. MAYBE
EVEN AROUND NOAH'S TIME.
00:35:04.87\00:35:08.14
SO THAT'S WAY AT THE BEGINNING.
GOD DESCRIBED JOB AS A PERFECT
00:35:08.14\00:35:13.41
MAN. HE WAS AN OH
 -- OH BEADANT MAN.
00:35:13.41\00:35:24.79
AND HE SHOWS UP AT THIS HEAVENLY
COUNSEL, AND GOD SEES HIM
THERE,-AND IF YOU READ INTO
00:35:24.79\00:35:34.56
THIS, GOD IS LOOKING AND
SAYING WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
00:35:34.56\00:35:37.93
AND WHO INVITED
YOU TO THIS MEETING?
00:35:37.93\00:35:40.97
AND SATAN'S RESPONSE IS -- OH,
YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN DOWN ON
00:35:40.97\00:35:46.84
EARTH, YOU KNOW, JUST WALKING TO
AND FRO AND DOING MY THING, YOU
00:35:46.84\00:35:51.68
KNOW, EARTH WHERE I RESIDE, AND
EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T SAY IT IN
00:35:51.68\00:35:56.15
THAT PARTICULAR PASSAGE, JESUS
DOES CONFIRM THAT THIS WORLD
00:35:56.15\00:36:00.46
PRIOR TO THE CROSS
WAS THE WOLD OF SATAN.
00:36:00.46\00:36:03.66
SATAN OWNED THS
WORLD. IT WAS HIS WORLD.
00:36:03.66\00:36:06.46
>> THE KEYS BASICALLY WERE
HANDED OVER WHEN ADAM AND EVE
00:36:06.46\00:36:10.67
SINNED. THEY
RELINQUISHED THEIR CONTROL.
00:36:10.67\00:36:13.27
>> ABSOLUTELY. SO
WHEN YOU READ THAT STORY,
00:36:13.27\00:36:15.77
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NOT A LOT
OF DETAIL IN THE OPENING CHAPTER
00:36:15.77\00:36:20.01
THERE, IT'S INTERESTING --
IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE IS BRAGGING.
00:36:20.01\00:36:25.31
AND NOW GOD CHALLENGES HIM AND
SAYS YOU THINK THAT THE ENTIRE
00:36:25.31\00:36:30.39
WORLD IS YOURS, BUT
WHAT ABOUT MY MAN JOB?
00:36:30.39\00:36:35.36
MY MAN JOB? YOU
KNOW, HE IS A GOOD MAN.
00:36:35.36\00:36:37.99
HE IS A GOOD-FEARING
MAN. WHAT ABOUT HIM?
00:36:37.99\00:36:41.33
AND NOW COMES THE CHALLENGE.
AND THE CHALLENGE IS, YEAH, BUT
00:36:41.33\00:36:46.53
HE ONLY FOLLOWS YOU AND RESPECTS
YOU AND WORSHIPS YOU AND FEARS
00:36:46.53\00:36:52.57
YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE PUT A
HEDGE OF PROTECTION AROUND HIM.
00:36:52.57\00:36:56.18
NOW THERE'SEN A IMPLIED
ACCUSATION THERE AGAINST THE
00:36:56.18\00:37:03.65
VERY CHARACTER OF JESUS AND
GOD, AND THAT IS, YOU IN AND OF
00:37:03.65\00:37:08.42
YOURSELF, GOD ARE NOT WORTHY TO
BE WORSHIPPED FOR WHO YOU ARE.
00:37:08.42\00:37:13.06
I THINK BACK TO THE BEGINNING
PROBABLY WHEN THIS WAR BROKE
00:37:13.06\00:37:18.67
OUT, THOSE ANGELS HAD TO
HAVE COME TO A POINT WHERE THEY
00:37:18.67\00:37:22.60
BELIEVED IN WHAT SATAN WAS
SAYING ABOUT GOD WASN'T TRUE, SO
00:37:22.60\00:37:27.68
NOW HE'S CHALLENGING GOD.
IN OTHER WORDS HE IS PUTTING
00:37:27.68\00:37:32.95
GOD'S CHARACTER ON THE STAND,
AND HE IS SAYING, YOU ARE NOT
00:37:32.95\00:37:36.79
WORTHY TO BE WORSHIPPED FOR WHO
YOU ARE, YOU HAVE BUY YOUR LOVE,
00:37:36.79\00:37:42.02
AND GIV HIM ALL OF THIS GOOD
STUFF, BUT AS SOON AS YOU TAKE
00:37:42.02\00:37:45.83
THAT HEDGE OF PROTECTION AWAY,
HE IS GOING TO TURN ON YOU LIKE
00:37:45.83\00:37:50.73
CRAZY. SO WHAT WE SEE IS A GREAT
00:37:50.73\00:37:55.17
EXAMPLE OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE AT
ITS HIGHEST IN THE STORY OF JOB.
00:37:55.17\00:38:00.61
AND AS WE KNOW JOB WENT THROUGH
IT ALL BUT HE DID NOT GIVE UP
00:38:00.61\00:38:04.85
ON GOD, AND ULTIMATELY GOD'S
CHARACTER WAS VINDICATED THROUGH
00:38:04.85\00:38:10.72
JOB'S FAITH. >> AMEN.
00:38:10.72\00:38:12.09
>> UH-HUH. >> ABSOLUTELY.
00:38:12.09\00:38:13.69
>> AMEN. SO
LET'S BRING THIS DOWN,
00:38:13.69\00:38:17.16
BECAUSE WE CAN GIVE
BIBLICAL EXAMPLES, AND JOB IS AN
00:38:17.16\00:38:21.73
EXCELLENT EXAMPLE, BUT IT
MAY BE A LITTLE BIT EXTREME.
00:38:21.73\00:38:26.67
SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT REALIZE
THAT -- WE DON'T ALL GO THROUGH
00:38:26.67\00:38:30.61
JOB EXPERIENCES. >> SURE.
00:38:30.61\00:38:32.71
SURE. >> BUT
I'M GOING TO TELL ON
00:38:32.71\00:38:34.28
MYSELF -- >> GO ON.
00:38:34.28\00:38:35.91
>> I THINK I HAVE TOLD THIS.
I REMEMBER LAST YEAR, THERE WAS
00:38:35.91\00:38:39.28
A TIME THAT I WENT -- ABOUT FIVE
MONTHS WITHOUT A DAY OFF, AND I
00:38:39.28\00:38:44.19
WAS JUST GO, GO, GOING IN
MINISTRY, AND SUDDENLY ONE DAY I
00:38:44.19\00:38:48.72
WOKE UP, AND IT WAS LIKE -- IT
WAS A STRUGGLE TO GET INTO THE
00:38:48.72\00:38:55.83
WORD OF GOD. IT
WAS A STRUGGLE TO PRAY.
00:38:55.83\00:38:58.60
AND I WENT THROUGH THIS FOR
SEVERAL DAYS, IT WAS KIND OF
00:38:58.60\00:39:01.97
LIKE, WHAT IS
WRONG WITH ME LORD?
00:39:01.97\00:39:04.27
>> YEAH. >> WHAT IS GOING ON?
00:39:04.27\00:39:06.27
BECAUSE I LOVE TO GET INTO THE
WORD OF GOD, AND AFTER ABOUT A
00:39:06.27\00:39:11.21
WEEK OF THIS, ONE NIGHT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I BROKE UP,
00:39:11.21\00:39:15.38
AND IT WAS JUST CLEAR AS A
BELL. I'M IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE.
00:39:15.38\00:39:20.36
>> UH-HUH. >> SEE,
YOU MAY HAVE HAD AN
00:39:20.36\00:39:32.47
ARGUMENT WITH YOUR SPOUSE
TONIGHT, AND YOU ARE STRUGGLING
00:39:32.47\00:39:35.84
AGAINST PRINCIPALITIES.
THE DEVL IS HERE TO DESTROY.
00:39:35.84\00:39:42.31
SO LET'S GET THIS DOWN TO
TALK ABOUT WHAT ARE SOME GOOD
00:39:42.31\00:39:50.12
EXAMPLES, RIGHT HERE ON EARTH?
WHAT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE?
00:39:50.12\00:39:54.39
WHAT ARE SOME
EXAMPLES OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE?
00:39:54.39\00:39:58.59
HERE ON EARTH? >>
YOU KNOW, I PERSONALLY
00:39:58.59\00:40:01.76
BELIEVE AS -- AS -- EVERY DAY
THAT WE GET UP, AND THAT WE ARE
00:40:01.76\00:40:05.83
DETERMINED BY THE GRACE
OF GOD -- I'LL GIVE A LITTLE
00:40:05.83\00:40:12.77
ILLUSTRATION. I MAY
HAVE GIVEN THIS BEFORE,
00:40:12.77\00:40:14.81
BUT YEARS AGO, AS I TALK ABOUT
CONVERSION -- I HAVE OFTEN SAID
00:40:14.81\00:40:21.85
I BELONGED TO THE CHURCH
FOR MANY YEARS, BUT I WASN'T
00:40:21.85\00:40:27.22
CONVERTED. AND
WHEN CONVERSION CAME, MY
00:40:27.22\00:40:28.69
LIFE CHANGED. AND
THE CHANGE BEGAN THAT I
00:40:28.69\00:40:32.96
WANTED TO GET INTO THE
WORD, AND I WANTED TO STUDY.
00:40:32.96\00:40:36.50
AND I WAS STILL IN CONSTRUCTION
TO I WORKED 8, 10 HOURS A DAY,
00:40:36.50\00:40:41.60
BUT I KNEW I NEEDED TO GET
MY STUDY IN, BUT I WANTED TO.
00:40:41.60\00:40:46.07
AND I THOUGHT I'LL JUST GET UP
AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING, AND I'LL
00:40:46.07\00:40:52.81
SPEND THAT HOUR, HOUR AND A
HALF, AND I WENT TO THE BASEMENT
00:40:52.81\00:40:58.22
AND I SAID THIS WILL BE MY
TIME. SO THE ENEMY KNEW THAT.
00:40:58.22\00:41:03.56
HE WASN'T AGGRAVATED BEFORE.
HE WAS PATTING ME ON THE HEAD
00:41:03.56\00:41:08.16
SAYING GO RIGHT ON,
KENNY. BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE
00:41:08.16\00:41:12.20
CONVERTED, WHERE A
REAL CHANGE TAKES PLACE.
00:41:12.20\00:41:14.47
SO I WENT DOWN THERE
AND I BEGAN TO STUDY.
00:41:14.47\00:41:17.77
AND MY SON WAS ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD
AT THE TIME, AND HIS ROOM WAS
00:41:17.77\00:41:22.51
UPSTAIRS AND COULDN'T POSSIBLY
HEAR ME, BECAUSE I WOULD SNEAK
00:41:22.51\00:41:26.31
DOWN THE STAIRS SO I
WOULDN'T WAKE ANYBODY.
00:41:26.31\00:41:29.05
AND I THOUGHT THIS IS WONDERFUL,
AND HE GETS UP, YOU KNOW,
5:00.-HE DIDN'T DO THAT.
00:41:29.05\00:41:35.32
HE CAME DOWN AND
SAT RIGHT IN THE CORNER.
00:41:35.32\00:41:40.50
AND I THOUGHT WELL, IF
HE IS QUIET, I'LL GO AHEAD.
00:41:40.50\00:41:47.74
AND THEN THERE WAS SHUFFLING,
SO I TOOK HIM BACK TO BED.
00:41:47.74\00:41:54.94
AND THE NEXT DAY I
DID THE SAME THING.
00:41:54.94\00:41:58.41
AND SO I THOUGHT I'LL BEAT THIS
LITTLE MAN, I'LL GET UP AT 4:00.
00:41:58.41\00:42:05.79
HERE COMES THE
LITTLE MAN IN THE DOOR.
00:42:05.79\00:42:10.26
THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO
KEEP YOU OUT OF THE WORD --
00:42:10.26\00:42:14.76
>> DISTRACT YOU. >> DISTRACT ME.
00:42:14.76\00:42:17.47
AND I SAID COME ON, SON,
WE GOT TO GO BACK IN BED.
00:42:17.47\00:42:22.00
I'LL FOOL THE BOY.
I'LL GET UP AT 3:00.
00:42:22.00\00:42:26.44
I GOT UP AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING,
AND LO AND BEHOLD IF THAT LITTLE
00:42:26.44\00:42:32.35
MAN DIDN'T COME
INTO THE ROOM AT 3:00.
00:42:32.35\00:42:35.25
THE DEVIL WAS FURIOUS, WORKING
THROUGH INDIVIDUALS -- HE IS A
00:42:35.25\00:42:40.42
BAD BOY, DA, DA, DA. SO
I SAID JEREMY ONE OF US IS
00:42:40.42\00:42:44.56
GOING TO WIN THIS
BATTLE, AND IT'S GOING TO BE ME.
00:42:44.56\00:42:48.36
SO I SAID DON'T GET UP ANYMORE,
JUST STAY IN YOUR BED AND SLEEP
00:42:48.36\00:42:53.64
SO DAD CAN DO SOME STUDIES.
NEXT MORNING HE WAS THERE AGAIN.
00:42:53.64\00:43:00.34
SO I SPANKED HIM, AND
HE NEVER DID IT AGAIN.
00:43:00.34\00:43:04.58
SO I'M SAYING,
YOU HAVE TO ENDURE.
00:43:04.58\00:43:07.68
HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE
SAINTS -- NOT THAT I'M A SAINT,
00:43:07.68\00:43:11.85
BUT YOU HAVE TO
ENDURE FOR A SEASON.
00:43:11.85\00:43:14.56
AND THE SEASON WAS I REALIZED
WHEN THAT CHANGE COMES, YOU ARE
00:43:14.56\00:43:19.09
GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD AND
DOING THINGS FOR GOD AND YOU ARE
00:43:19.09\00:43:22.83
GOING TO BE EXCITED. YOU
WANT TO SPENDING THAT TIME.
00:43:22.83\00:43:26.30
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I FELT
LIKE I READ THE WORLD, AND IT
00:43:26.30\00:43:30.81
WAS ALMOST LIKE MY FEET
WEREN'T ON THE GROUND AT TIMES.
00:43:30.81\00:43:33.94
THE BATTLE WAS GOING ON.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
00:43:33.94\00:43:38.35
MANY TIMES WHEN I OPENED
THE WORD OF GOD, THE PHONE WOULD
00:43:38.35\00:43:42.22
RING. I WOULD
GET UP, HELLO, NOBODY
00:43:42.22\00:43:45.72
THERE. I WOULD
START TO READ AGAIN.
00:43:45.72\00:43:51.96
THE PHONE WOULD
RING, AND NO ONE WAS THERE.
00:43:51.96\00:43:54.93
AND THAT HAPPENED WITH THE
DOORBELL A COUPLE OF TIMES.
00:43:54.93\00:43:58.53
NO ONE THERE. AND
IT'S NO GOING TO HAPPEN BUT
00:43:58.53\00:44:02.50
BY THE GRACE OF GOD. SO
SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO CORRECT
00:44:02.50\00:44:06.88
THE ISSUES,
WHATEVER THEY MIGHT BE.
00:44:06.88\00:44:09.64
TO ME THAT'S SPIRITUAL WARFARE
USING THE PEOPLE WE LOVE TO KEEP
00:44:09.64\00:44:13.05
US FROM DOING THE RIGHT THING.
BUT NOT -- I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO
00:44:13.05\00:44:18.89
THE RIGHT THING. >> YOU
MENTIONED WAR -- KINDS OF
00:44:18.89\00:44:23.12
WARFARE. I'M
THINKING OF -- YOU KNOW,
00:44:23.12\00:44:24.69
WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A WAR
OR WARFARE OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE
00:44:24.69\00:44:30.13
TWO DIFFERENT SIDE. THE
ENEMY IN THIS CASE IS TRYING
00:44:30.13\00:44:33.44
TO DISTRACT US OR LEAD US
IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF
00:44:33.44\00:44:39.07
RIGHTEOUSNESS. HE IS
TRYING TO ECLIPSE THE
00:44:39.07\00:44:41.81
LIGHT OF JESUS IN
OUR MINDS. >> AMEN.
00:44:41.81\00:44:44.31
>> AND I THINK THE DEVIL HAS
PREPARED AND ON THE READY AT ALL
00:44:44.31\00:44:49.08
TIMES, A CERTAIN TYPE OF WARFARE
TACTIC, DEPENDING ON WHERE WE
00:44:49.08\00:44:53.76
ARE IN OUR WORK WITH GOD.
FOR EXAMPLE, HAVING TRAVELLED
00:44:53.76\00:44:57.29
THE NATION AND PARTS OF CANADA,
AND PREACHED THE GOSPEL OVER THE
00:44:57.29\00:45:02.00
LAST FEW YEARS, IT'S ALWAYS
AMAZING TO SEE -- YOU KNOW,
00:45:02.00\00:45:05.97
PEOPLE -- WE MIGHT CALL THEM
BABY'S IN CHRIST, BUT PEOPLE WHO
00:45:05.97\00:45:11.41
ARE GIVING THEIR LIVES TO JESS,
AND THEY ARE SO EXCITED AND
00:45:11.41\00:45:15.78
THRILLED BY THE TRUTH THAT
IS BEGINNING TO TRANSFORM THEIR
00:45:15.78\00:45:19.31
LIFE. AND YOU CAN SEE IT.
00:45:19.31\00:45:20.88
AND IN THE END WHEN THEY MAKE
THAT DECISION, I WANT TO BURY MY
00:45:20.88\00:45:26.22
OLD LIFE IN THE
WATER GRAVE OF BAPTISM.
00:45:26.22\00:45:29.29
THEY COME UP
RENEWED AND EXCITED.
00:45:29.29\00:45:31.93
AND REVELATIONS TALKS ABOUT THAT
FIRST LOVE, THAT BURNING FIRE,
00:45:31.93\00:45:36.26
THAT YOU ARE JUST SO EXCITED.
I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THAT THE
00:45:36.26\00:45:42.34
HONEYMOON PHASE, BECAUSE YOU ARE
READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD NOW.
00:45:42.34\00:45:47.58
WELL THE DEVIL HAS -- HE HAS T
00:45:47.58\00:45:52.18
TACTICS THAT HE CAN USE THAT HE
IS USED TO ATTACK SOMEONE WHO IS
00:45:52.18\00:45:59.89
A BABE IN CHRIST. AND
HE IS GOING TO ATTACK THAT
00:45:59.89\00:46:03.79
PERSON WHO MAY NOT BE FULLY
100% GROUNDED IN THE WORLD.
00:46:03.79\00:46:10.13
THEN YOU HAVE THOSE PEOPLE WHO
MIGHT BE MORE COMFORTABLE AND
00:46:10.13\00:46:14.37
SETTLED IN THE TRUTH OF
GOD'S WORD, WELL, THE DEVIL HAS
00:46:14.37\00:46:20.01
TACTICS FOR HIM TOO. I
CAN'T TELL THEM THERE IS NOT A
00:46:20.01\00:46:24.45
GOD, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE
IS A GOD, I CAN'T TELL THEM THEY
00:46:24.45\00:46:28.98
SHOULDN'T KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS,
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY SHOULD
00:46:28.98\00:46:32.12
KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.
SO NOW HE HAS A DIFFERENT
00:46:32.12\00:46:35.89
TACTIC. AND IT MAY
BE A DISTRACTION OF
00:46:35.89\00:46:38.43
SOME KIND. WE LIVE
IN A AGE TODAY, WHERE
00:46:38.43\00:46:44.73
TECHNOLOGY IS BOOMING AND
DESTROYING HOMES, AND HERE I AM
00:46:44.73\00:46:49.80
HOLDING A TECHNOLOGY DEVICE.
AND IT'S NOT THAT TECHNOLOGY IS
00:46:49.80\00:46:53.51
EVIL, BUT YOU CAN
POTENTIALLY MISUSE AND ABUSE IT.
00:46:53.51\00:47:01.25
WHATEVER IT IS, THE DEVIL
KNOWS HOW TO DISTRACT SOMEONE.
00:47:01.25\00:47:14.83
AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE
PEOPLE -- WE HAVE SEEN THIS
00:47:14.83\00:47:19.20
RECENTLY EVEN HERE AT 3ABN,
THERE ARE THOSE PEOPLE WHO SEEM
00:47:19.20\00:47:23.07
TO BE PILLARS IN OUR CHURCH.
WE SEE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN
00:47:23.07\00:47:28.11
OUR FAITH, AND IT'S LIKE, OH,
MAN, THAT BROTHER OR SISTER IS A
00:47:28.11\00:47:36.72
TRUE SAINT OF GOD. I
THINK OF BROTHER STEVE
00:47:36.72\00:47:41.06
WAHLBERG. HE IS ONE
OF MY GOOD FRIENDS AND
00:47:41.06\00:47:44.36
A WONDERFUL MINISTER OF GOD,
AND I THINK OF WHAT HE HAS GONE
00:47:44.36\00:47:49.63
THROUGH, TALK
ABOUT SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
00:47:49.63\00:47:51.20
>> LET'S EXPLAIN THAT JUST A
SEC, BECAUSE IT WAS -- STEVE A
00:47:51.20\00:47:56.10
PERSON WHO HAS SUCH ZEAL FOR
GOD, AND ONE DAY HE JUST WOKE UP
00:47:56.10\00:48:01.11
SO DEPRESSED THAT HE
COULD HARDLY FUNCTION.
00:48:01.11\00:48:06.35
>> IT ATTACKED
HIS PHYSICAL BODY.
00:48:06.35\00:48:09.48
>> PHYSICAL, MENTAL,
EMOTIONAL, THE WHOLE SMEAR.
00:48:09.48\00:48:13.89
AND I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE, WHEN
YOU THINK ABOUT SOMEBODY WHO
00:48:13.89\00:48:18.03
GOES THROUGH AN ACUTE OR
CHRONIC -- PARTICULARLY A
00:48:18.03\00:48:22.06
CHRONIC ILLNESS. IF YOU
HAVE BEEN SICK FOR A LONG
00:48:22.06\00:48:24.93
PERIOD OF TIME, HOW DOES
THAT AFFECT YOU MENTALLY?
00:48:24.93\00:48:28.77
EMOTIONALLY? AND WHEN
YOU GET EMOTIONALLY AND
00:48:28.77\00:48:32.21
MENTALLY DOWN, THE DEVIL NOT
ONLY USES DISTRACTIONS, HE USES
00:48:32.21\00:48:37.75
LIES, HE USES
PEOPLE TO GOSSIP ABOUT YOU.
00:48:37.75\00:48:41.45
HE USES ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT
GOD WON'T USE IN THE WARFARE.
00:48:41.45\00:48:48.39
BUT WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO A
CERTAIN POINT, THE NEXT THING
00:48:48.39\00:48:51.73
THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS
A SPIRITUAL DEPRESSION, AND
00:48:51.73\00:48:55.36
IT -- SOMETIMES IT'S A NATURAL
DISEASE, THAT IT ISN'T THE DEVIL
00:48:55.36\00:49:00.24
NECESSARILY -- LIKE WITH
STEVE'S I BELIEVE THAT WAS A
00:49:00.24\00:49:03.87
SUPERNATURAL
EVENT, WHAT HAPPENED.
00:49:03.87\00:49:06.34
BUT IT'S -- IT'S SOMETHING THAT
WE ALL NEED TO HAVE ON OUR RADAR
00:49:06.34\00:49:14.18
TO RECOGNIZE THAT SATAN
AND HIS UNHOLY ALLIANCE --
00:49:14.18\00:49:19.82
>> UH-HUH. >> ARE
OUT TO DESTROY US.
00:49:19.82\00:49:22.69
TO DESTROY OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
00:49:22.69\00:49:26.83
TO DESTROY FAMILIES.
YOU THINK OF THE DRUGS.
00:49:26.83\00:49:31.03
THIS IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE.
ALL OF THE STREET DRUGS, THE
00:49:31.03\00:49:34.84
MUSIC, AND ALL OF THESE THINGS
ARE PART OF THE DEVIL'S -- IT'S
00:49:34.84\00:49:40.71
WHAT HE HAS GOT IN HIS
ARMORY. >> YEAH, SEE, WE ARE
00:49:40.71\00:49:46.01
FACE-TO-FACE WITH THE
ENEMY EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVES.
00:49:46.01\00:49:51.19
EVERY DAY OF OUR LIVE, WE ARE
FACE-TO-FACE WITH SOME ASPECT OF
00:49:51.19\00:49:56.32
THIS WORLD. I THINK
2 CORINTHIANS 15, IT
00:49:56.32\00:50:02.63
TALKS ABOUT MINISTERING SPIRITS.
THE ENEMY HAS HIS WAY, BUT HE
00:50:02.63\00:50:08.30
ALSO HAS HIS HELPERS, AND THE
WORD MINISTER IN GREEK HAS TO DO
00:50:08.30\00:50:13.38
WITH RUNNING ERRANTS
FOR. THAT'S INTERESTING.
00:50:13.38\00:50:16.14
>> RIGHT. >>
INTERESTING BECAUSE -- WHEN I
00:50:16.14\00:50:19.18
HAVE READ THAT ABOUT THE ANGELS
ARE MINISTERING SPIRITS -- I
00:50:19.18\00:50:23.75
NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT --
I'M THINKING OF GOD'S PERFECT
00:50:23.75\00:50:28.06
ANGELS, BUT I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT
ABOUT SATAN, THEY ARER RAND
00:50:28.06\00:50:34.20
RUNNERS. >> AND
ANOTHER WORD IN THE GREEK
00:50:34.20\00:50:37.43
IS ATTENDANTS. NAY
ARE TO DO SERVICE FOR HIM.
00:50:37.43\00:50:41.50
BUT IT ALSO CAN BE A TEACHER.
IT ALSO CAN MEAN PASTOR.
00:50:41.50\00:50:45.97
SO WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL,
THAT'S WHY WE TRY THE SPIRITS TO
00:50:45.97\00:50:51.35
SEE. >> AMEN.
00:50:51.35\00:50:52.51
>> BECAUSE THE ENEMY WILL USE
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING HE CAN,
00:50:52.51\00:51:00.72
HE'LL USE ME, HE'LL
USE YOU IF WE ALLOW THAT.
00:51:00.72\00:51:05.63
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
WHEN I SEE SOME OF THESE
00:51:05.63\00:51:09.13
THINGS HAPPEN -- YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT IN ACTS 8, WAS IT
00:51:09.13\00:51:14.10
SIMON -- YEAH, THIS -- VERSE
9 -- THERE WAS A CERTAIN MAN
00:51:14.10\00:51:21.98
CALLED SIMON WHOSE TIME
IN THE CITY USED SORCERY.
00:51:21.98\00:51:26.58
AND BEWITCHED THE PEOPLE GIVING
OUT THAT HIMSELF WAS SOME GREAT
00:51:26.58\00:51:30.89
ONE. SO HE WAS
BEWITCHING THEM, THE
00:51:30.89\00:51:33.69
ENEMY WAS USING THEM. TO
WHOM THEY ALL GAVE HEED FROM
00:51:33.69\00:51:37.63
THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST SAYING
THIS MAN IS THE GREAT POWER OF
00:51:37.63\00:51:42.06
GOD. HE WAS USING WHAT?
00:51:42.06\00:51:44.90
SORCERY. THE
ENEMY WAS USING HIM.
00:51:44.90\00:51:47.27
AND -- AND THIS IS WHAT WE
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF, BECAUSE
00:51:47.27\00:51:50.97
SOMETIMES WE'LL THINK -- OH, YOU
KNOW, GOD IS -- WORKING THROUGH
00:51:50.97\00:51:55.18
THIS PERSON AND THAT PERSON,
AND AGAIN, WE HAVE TO TRY THE
00:51:55.18\00:51:58.61
SPIRITS, BUT HERE WE FIND
OUT, IT SAYS HERE, HE WAS USING
00:51:58.61\00:52:04.52
BEWITCHING POWERS, AND THE
PEOPLE WERE SO FOOLED BECAUSE HE
00:52:04.52\00:52:08.92
WAS SO GOOD AT
WHAT HE WAS DOING.
00:52:08.92\00:52:11.46
THIS HAS TO BE THE POWER OF
GOD. IT'S NOT THE POWER OF GOD
00:52:11.46\00:52:17.10
WORKING. >> IT'S TRUE.
00:52:17.10\00:52:18.00
>> BUT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE
SAID THIS IS THE POWER OF GOD.
00:52:18.00\00:52:22.27
THIS HAS TO BE EXPOSED.
AND ONLY THE WORD CAN EXPOSE
00:52:22.27\00:52:26.88
WHICH POWER IS THE
GOOD OR IS IT EVIL?
00:52:26.88\00:52:30.35
SO I THINK WE HAVE TO
BE AWARE OF THAT PART.
00:52:30.35\00:52:33.82
>> THAT'S RIGHT. LUKE
31 AND 32, AND THE LORD
00:52:33.82\00:52:40.09
SAYS, SIMON, SIMON, BEHOLD,
SATAN HAS DESIRE TO HAVE YOU,
00:52:40.09\00:52:47.23
THAT HE MAY SIFT YOU AS WHEAT.
AND HE SAYS, BUT I HAVE PRAYED
00:52:47.23\00:52:52.13
FOR THEE, AND WE'RE GOING TO GET
INTO THAT IN A LITTLE BIT, BUT
00:52:52.13\00:52:55.94
HE SAYS I HAVE PRAYED
FOR THE, THAT THY FAITH --
00:52:55.94\00:53:08.68
>> GO ON. >> HE
WASN'T CONVERTED AT THIS
00:53:08.68\00:53:12.39
POINT. AND HE SAYS WHEN YOU ARE
00:53:12.39\00:53:15.39
CONVERTED, STRENGTHEN YOUR
BRETHREN, AND IN THIS NEXT TEXT
00:53:15.39\00:53:19.13
THAT I READ -- I'M SO
EXCITED ABOUT THE TOPIC.
00:53:19.13\00:53:23.26
IT'S A POWERFUL TOPIC BECAUSE
IT DEALS WITH REAL ISSUES THAT
00:53:23.26\00:53:28.74
WE'RE DEALING WITH
RIGHT NOW IN OUR TIME.
00:53:28.74\00:53:32.84
WHEN I READ THIS NEXT TEXT,
BECAUSE I HAVE READ IT MANY
00:53:32.84\00:53:38.31
TIMES, BUT WE RECOGNIZE THAT
GOD HIMSELF MAY NOT CAUSE THE
00:53:38.31\00:53:43.62
SPIRITUAL WARFARE HIMSELF, BUT I
THINK SOMETIMES HE MAY ALLOW IT
00:53:43.62\00:53:46.69
TO HAPPEN FOR CERTAIN REASONS.
AND NOTICE WHAT PAUL SAYS ABOUT
00:53:46.69\00:53:51.49
HIMSELF IN 2 CORINTHIANS,
UNLESS I SHOULD BE EXALTED ABOVE
00:53:51.49\00:54:00.60
MEASURE, THERE WAS GIVEN TO ME
A THROWN IN THE FLESH, AN THEN
00:54:00.60\00:54:05.31
NOTICE THIS, THE MESSENGER
OF SATAN TO BUFFET ME, LEST I
00:54:05.31\00:54:13.45
SHOULD BE
EXALTED ABOVE PLEASURE.
00:54:13.45\00:54:16.62
AND WHAT PAUL IS ADDRESSING IS
THE IDEA BASICALLY THAT WE ALL
00:54:16.62\00:54:20.99
KNOW PAUL WAS A
VERY EDUCATED MAN.
00:54:20.99\00:54:24.56
AND WE RUN INTO PEOPLE WHO
ARE VERY INTELLECTUALLY SMART,
00:54:24.56\00:54:31.20
SOMETIMES A LITTLE BIT OF PRIDE
OR ARROGANCE WILL COME WITH
00:54:31.20\00:54:35.07
THAT. AND I THINK
GOD WILL ALLOW US TO
00:54:35.07\00:54:43.21
EXPERIENCE CERTAIN
THINGS TO KEEP US HUMBLE.
00:54:43.21\00:54:47.05
NOT THAT HE DOES IT HIMSELF.
BUT HE ALLOWS THINGS TO HAPPEN.
00:54:47.05\00:54:50.62
AND IN THIS CASE PAUL, TO ALLOW
ME TO BE BEATEN LEST I WILL
00:54:50.62\00:54:59.66
EXALTED ABOVE MEASURE. >> ONE OF
MY FAVORITE SCRIPTURES-IS 1 CORE
00:54:59.66\00:55:15.14
CORINTHIANS 12:13. PAUL
SAID IN 1 CORINTHIANS 12:13, NO
00:55:15.14\00:55:26.72
TEMPTATION HAS OVERTAKEN YOU,
EXCEPT WHAT IS UNCOMMON TO MAN,
00:55:26.72\00:55:31.26
BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL. HE
WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE
00:55:31.26\00:55:35.76
TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE
ABLE, AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU,
00:55:35.76\00:55:41.40
DON'T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE
THAT PAUL -- I HEAR PEOPLE SAY
00:55:41.40\00:55:45.71
SOMETIMES GOD'S NOT GOING TO
PUT TOO MUCH ON YOU, IF YOU ARE
00:55:45.71\00:55:50.01
FEELING
OVERWHELMED. THIS ISN'T GOD.
00:55:50.01\00:55:52.68
NO, HE IS TALKING
ABOUT TEMPTATION HERE.
00:55:52.68\00:55:57.19
BECAUSE IN 2 CORINTHIANS 1:8-11,
PAUL TALKS ABOUT HE WAS BURDENED
00:55:57.19\00:56:09.06
BEYOND MEASURE.
HE WAS OVERWHELMED.
00:56:09.06\00:56:11.77
THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO
DIE, BUT THEN HE SAID THIS -- IF
00:56:11.77\00:56:15.87
I CAN FIND IT -- HE SAID
-- WHERE DID HE SAY THIS?
00:56:15.87\00:56:25.28
EVEN FOR OUR LIVES -- YES,
WE HAVE THE SENTENCE OF DEATH IN
00:56:25.28\00:56:32.75
OURSELVES THAT WE SHOULD NOT
TRUST IN OURSELVES, BUT IN GOD
00:56:32.75\00:56:36.36
WHO RAISES THE DEAD. >> YES.
00:56:36.36\00:56:38.46
>> SO AS -- AS YOU SAID, RYAN,
I THINK SOMETIMES GOD ALLOWS
00:56:38.46\00:56:43.70
THINGS FOR OUR
BENEFIT. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:56:43.70\00:56:45.80
>> HE ALLOWS HER FAITH TO
BE TESTED FOR OUR BENEFIT, AND
00:56:45.80\00:56:52.84
SOMETIMES WE CAN BE TOTALLY
OVERWHELMED, BUT WHAT GOD IS
00:56:52.84\00:56:56.88
TRYING TO DO IS SAY, MY PLAN OF
SALVATION IS TOTAL DEPENDANCE.
00:56:56.88\00:57:01.82
YOU CAN TRUST ME.
YOU CAN TURN TO ME.
00:57:01.82\00:57:04.29
AND I HAVE HEARD THAT STORY
SO OFTEN, WHERE PEPLE WHO HAVE
00:57:04.29\00:57:08.26
GOTTEN TO THAT POINT, AS YOU
SAID, KENNY, IN THE CHURCH FOR
00:57:08.26\00:57:13.19
YEARS NOT CONVERTED, BUT GOD
ALLOWS THINGS TO HAPPEN, AND ALL
00:57:13.19\00:57:17.00
OF A SUDDEN, YOU HAVE GOT IT.
>> IT IS GOD'S LITTLE WORKMEN TO
00:57:17.00\00:57:27.18
PERFECT -- >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:57:27.18\00:57:29.44
OKAY. THIS IS LIVE.
