Jesus prophesied that his church shall prevail. 7 00:00:25.860 --> 00:00:28.690 In Matthew 16, verse 18, he said, 8 00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:31.470 Upon this rock I will build my church, 9 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.770 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 10 00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:39.690 Today the church must rise up to the greatest action of its entire history. 11 00:00:52.460 --> 00:00:57.890 It's a great honor to stand before you and to teach a subject as 12 00:00:57.900 --> 00:01:03.140 great as this one, which has been called a deliverance class 13 00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:05.880 related to principalities and powers. 14 00:01:08.300 --> 00:01:11.550 Probably there's no greater subject that one could 15 00:01:12.580 --> 00:01:13.580 discuss 16 00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:20.330 and we hope that not only will we be able to define this 17 00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:24.930 material but that questions that may come in your mind that we will be able to 18 00:01:24.940 --> 00:01:29.910 answer them properly and that from this class you will receive strength from God 19 00:01:30.490 --> 00:01:36.420 and will be able not only to understand but to be able to successfully 20 00:01:36.430 --> 00:01:41.180 defeat and destroy all forces that are in opposition to God. 21 00:01:41.390 --> 00:01:46.340 I believe that's our job. to destroy all forces that are in opposition to God. 22 00:01:46.470 --> 00:01:52.140 And in these last days, we certainly must do more than we've ever done 23 00:01:52.150 --> 00:01:56.760 before to set humanity free. May I bless you, please. 24 00:01:57.050 --> 00:02:02.000 Now, Lord Jesus, we ask you to anoint the Word 25 00:02:02.010 --> 00:02:07.770 and to anoint us as we minister the truth and for your blessings 26 00:02:07.780 --> 00:02:11.790 upon these that learn and these that are determined to go out. 27 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:16.170 and to do a tremendous job for the kingdom of God, we thank you. 28 00:02:16.540 --> 00:02:22.510 Anoint us this night that we may have a tremendous feeling within us of what we 29 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:26.850 are, who we are, and what we have to do at this moment in history. 30 00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:29.550 We believe you for your blessings, and we thank you. 31 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.540 And all the people said, amen. 32 00:02:32.710 --> 00:02:36.020 May I read to you from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, 33 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.770 beginning in verse 3, 34 00:02:39.810 --> 00:02:43.270 as Jesus sat... Upon the Mount of Olives, 35 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.270 the disciples came unto Jesus, 36 00:02:47.990 --> 00:02:50.360 and they said unto him privately, 37 00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:55.490 the Gospel of Matthew chapter 24, beginning in verse 3, 38 00:02:57.450 --> 00:02:59.980 speaking to Jesus privately, they said, Lord, 39 00:03:00.110 --> 00:03:03.920 tell us what shall these things be? 40 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.790 That was related to the temple that he had prophesied relative to in 41 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.640 verse 1. 42 00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:18.230 And what shall be the sign of thy coming? That was question number two. 43 00:03:19.050 --> 00:03:24.000 And of the end of the world, which is question number three that they asked at that 44 00:03:24.010 --> 00:03:27.140 time. Jesus answered and said unto them, 45 00:03:27.410 --> 00:03:32.230 Now take heed that no man or no person deceive you. 46 00:03:34.090 --> 00:03:39.370 To me that was an astounding reply when they said, 47 00:03:40.690 --> 00:03:44.730 We'd like for you to tell us when these things shall be. 48 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.290 And his first statement to them was, Let no man deceive you. 49 00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:51.210 Don't be fooled by anybody. 50 00:03:51.690 --> 00:03:55.340 Maybe that's the biggest thing that we could say to the people today. 51 00:03:55.350 --> 00:03:57.520 Don't be fooled by anybody. 52 00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:00.690 Be a knower of the truth. 53 00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:04.930 And let the truth be a powerful factor in your life. 54 00:04:04.940 --> 00:04:07.470 And especially in the study of the Word of God. 55 00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:10.500 Take heed that no man deceive you. 56 00:04:11.740 --> 00:04:17.080 Verse 5 says, Many shall come in my name, and they shall say, 57 00:04:17.090 --> 00:04:18.300 I am Christ. 58 00:04:19.080 --> 00:04:21.410 And they shall deceive many. 59 00:04:22.190 --> 00:04:27.320 Then he proceeds to give other ideas relative to signs 60 00:04:27.330 --> 00:04:29.930 of his coming again. 61 00:04:30.410 --> 00:04:35.280 How amazing it is that the first sign before the wars or rumors of wars, 62 00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:38.040 before the earthquakes, before the cosmic fury in the heavens, 63 00:04:38.050 --> 00:04:44.000 it was one related to the personal integrity of the disciple of the 64 00:04:44.010 --> 00:04:46.700 Lord Jesus Christ, that you be not deceived. 65 00:04:46.810 --> 00:04:49.820 And so in these series of messages, 66 00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:53.960 We want to be sure that you're so founded upon divine truth, 67 00:04:53.970 --> 00:04:56.700 no possibility of you ever being deceived. 68 00:04:56.830 --> 00:04:59.360 No false Christ who ever leads you astray. 69 00:04:59.370 --> 00:05:02.240 No false doctrines to ever say this is the way. 70 00:05:02.250 --> 00:05:05.080 And you say, no, we stand by the word of the Lord. 71 00:05:05.090 --> 00:05:07.900 The Bible says if anyone, even an angel, 72 00:05:08.470 --> 00:05:12.400 wants to teach you any other truth excepting this, let him be accursed. 73 00:05:12.690 --> 00:05:17.380 We don't want any newfound ideas and any newfound truths. 74 00:05:17.390 --> 00:05:21.420 We want the basic Word of God. God's Word guides us and directs us. 75 00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:23.000 If you believe it, say amen. 76 00:05:24.310 --> 00:05:25.920 In your introduction, 77 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.870 in your study syllabus, 78 00:05:32.070 --> 00:05:37.920 Christendom or Christianity and Western civilization both 79 00:05:38.050 --> 00:05:43.340 are entering its final warfare for survival. 80 00:05:44.810 --> 00:05:47.260 I want to say that I believe that. 81 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:55.110 In nations like Britain and France and Germany, 82 00:05:55.300 --> 00:06:00.630 possibly Poland, although when our country's in conflict, 83 00:06:00.640 --> 00:06:01.990 normally they get along better. 84 00:06:02.620 --> 00:06:06.310 Faith increases and faith grows in conflict. 85 00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:10.590 But in Western 86 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:16.030 civilization and Christendom, in Canada, the United States, Australia, 87 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:21.080 and these areas. We believe that we're entering a final warfare for survival, 88 00:06:21.090 --> 00:06:22.360 and 89 00:06:24.350 --> 00:06:26.960 this will precede the Armageddon time, 90 00:06:27.260 --> 00:06:30.930 when the world will stand up to fight against God, 91 00:06:30.940 --> 00:06:33.550 and Christ shall come and shall defeat them. 92 00:06:35.410 --> 00:06:39.180 This will also be the termination of what is called the Gentile Age. 93 00:06:39.190 --> 00:06:44.960 It will completely finish, and we will enter into the seventh dispensation 94 00:06:44.970 --> 00:06:50.700 of God, which is the millennial kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Age of Peace. 95 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:55.250 and the age of gladness and joy when the Lord shall rule and reign for a thousand 96 00:06:55.260 --> 00:06:56.260 years. 97 00:06:56.470 --> 00:07:01.720 Now, this warfare is to be primarily in the realm of the supernatural. 98 00:07:01.810 --> 00:07:07.330 If you'd underline that and think about it a lot and 99 00:07:07.340 --> 00:07:11.770 study about it, you would find it very helpful to you. 100 00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:15.650 Beginning right now and moving into the future. 101 00:07:16.490 --> 00:07:20.940 The area of the supernatural will be where most of all the warfares will be fought, 102 00:07:20.950 --> 00:07:22.920 whether it be in religion or politics. 103 00:07:23.070 --> 00:07:27.160 There will be politicians that will rise in the very near future that will simply be 104 00:07:27.170 --> 00:07:28.780 demon -possessed persons. 105 00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:33.550 And if you try to deal with them on the basis of being an educated university 106 00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:35.510 person, you'll miss them completely. 107 00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:39.750 They have sources of power and sources of strength that have nothing to do with an 108 00:07:39.760 --> 00:07:40.950 education whatsoever. 109 00:07:42.810 --> 00:07:47.160 And so the primary realm of warfare... 110 00:07:47.190 --> 00:07:52.760 that is facing the church and the world has to do with the 111 00:07:52.770 --> 00:07:56.330 supernatural. Demon forces and demon powers. 112 00:07:57.550 --> 00:08:03.410 Our times could be called the most conflicting in the history of mankind. 113 00:08:03.620 --> 00:08:09.420 You say, why? Because in our times we have an abundant life and we have abundant 114 00:08:09.430 --> 00:08:10.430 death. 115 00:08:11.620 --> 00:08:13.470 It could be called a conundrum. 116 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:20.310 All around us we have facilities for living and yet we die. 117 00:08:21.490 --> 00:08:27.040 This last week I saw the most remarkable story in a newspaper 118 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:33.230 that hundreds of homosexuals and lesbians had died with a 119 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.670 particular disease that no other human had ever had. 120 00:08:36.750 --> 00:08:39.600 You saw it too, didn't you? Isn't that amazing? 121 00:08:40.450 --> 00:08:44.580 Whenever you think you can commit sin and get by with it, you just miss God. 122 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:50.350 The law courts might let you by downtown, but they're not the final answer. 123 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.870 God is the final answer. 124 00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:58.010 And so we are facing a world today, abundant life. 125 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.190 You know God is doing more today than ever before in the history of the world. 126 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:06.050 There are more people being saved today than was ever saved before in the history of 127 00:09:06.060 --> 00:09:07.060 the world. 128 00:09:08.280 --> 00:09:12.510 A few years ago, you would never have gotten together a tremendous class the size of 129 00:09:12.520 --> 00:09:15.270 this one. You just couldn't have done it. They wouldn't have been interested in it. 130 00:09:15.280 --> 00:09:16.710 You couldn't have gotten them together. 131 00:09:17.940 --> 00:09:20.750 But this is a moment of abundant life. 132 00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:24.770 Did you know there are more people reading the Bible right now than ever read the 133 00:09:24.780 --> 00:09:25.780 Bible before? 134 00:09:26.430 --> 00:09:29.800 And did you know there are more people that hate the Bible today than ever hated it 135 00:09:29.810 --> 00:09:33.000 before? So you've got abundant life and abundant death. 136 00:09:33.210 --> 00:09:35.040 If you'll follow that very carefully, 137 00:09:35.050 --> 00:09:38.560 it'll be a teacher to you for our times in which we live. 138 00:09:38.670 --> 00:09:41.280 We live in a world where there is an abundant life. 139 00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:44.530 But we live in a world also where there's abundant death. 140 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.790 And when we see that, we'll say, well, I'm going to choose life and live forever. 141 00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:52.130 And let the devil choose the rest of it all he wants to. 142 00:09:53.390 --> 00:09:55.960 We live in a time of abundant prosperity. 143 00:09:56.650 --> 00:10:00.640 And also abundant poverty. And you see, that's another conundrum. 144 00:10:01.090 --> 00:10:06.870 We have more millionaires in the United States tonight than any nation in history 145 00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:07.880 ever had. 146 00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:12.090 And more than our nation ever dreamed of having. 147 00:10:12.730 --> 00:10:18.280 And yet we've got more poverty and more hurt and more hunger than 148 00:10:18.290 --> 00:10:23.020 we've ever had before. Have more people needing help today than we ever had before. 149 00:10:23.030 --> 00:10:26.720 And on the other hand, we have more prosperity than we ever knew before. 150 00:10:27.310 --> 00:10:30.230 Well. It's a world to live in, isn't it? 151 00:10:30.950 --> 00:10:34.700 To get the thing divided up properly. And to say, now wait a minute here. 152 00:10:34.710 --> 00:10:37.100 What is going on in this world that I live in today? 153 00:10:38.300 --> 00:10:40.550 In the last moments of this dispensation, 154 00:10:40.580 --> 00:10:43.210 the devil is going to make it as confusing as he can. 155 00:10:43.710 --> 00:10:47.420 And seeing he's going to do that, God's going to make it as bright and simple as he 156 00:10:47.430 --> 00:10:50.650 can. I'm going to stay on the simple side of life. 157 00:10:50.660 --> 00:10:52.090 Glory be to God forever. 158 00:10:52.580 --> 00:10:56.810 We live in a world of abundant life, abundant death, abundant prosperity, 159 00:10:56.820 --> 00:10:58.390 and abundant poverty. 160 00:11:00.210 --> 00:11:03.260 moving us through them. And that's more true in other countries than it is in this 161 00:11:03.270 --> 00:11:09.240 country. We also live in a world today of abundant love for God and an abundant 162 00:11:09.250 --> 00:11:11.440 hatred toward God. 163 00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:16.330 I believe there are more people right now that would die for Jesus than the world 164 00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:19.780 has ever known at any one time. Oh, they'd be a martyr. 165 00:11:19.790 --> 00:11:21.520 They would die for Jesus. 166 00:11:21.770 --> 00:11:26.960 And there's never been a time when His name was so blasphemed as this very moment. 167 00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:30.710 We live in abundance, don't we? 168 00:11:31.810 --> 00:11:35.080 of light and darkness. Live in an abundance of it. 169 00:11:35.270 --> 00:11:39.240 We live in a time when there's so many people say, I truly love God. 170 00:11:39.250 --> 00:11:44.580 I really love God. And you get out away from that group and you find bitterness like 171 00:11:44.590 --> 00:11:48.260 you have never dreamed. You have anger like you've never dreamed. 172 00:11:48.530 --> 00:11:53.240 There's real hatred in our land against the church and 173 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.570 against Christ and against the Bible. 174 00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.380 But I tell you, God's never lost a battle yet. 175 00:12:00.890 --> 00:12:03.060 And we're not about to lose one now. 176 00:12:04.020 --> 00:12:08.930 This great class here and its continuation through television is going to tell the 177 00:12:08.940 --> 00:12:13.010 world that we are the victors and we don't mean maybe about it. 178 00:12:13.280 --> 00:12:16.890 And that we are the winners and we know we're going to win and we're ready for it. 179 00:12:16.900 --> 00:12:22.710 Can you say amen? We live in a time not only of abundant love 180 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:27.170 for God and hatred toward God, but we live in a time of the outpouring of the Holy 181 00:12:27.180 --> 00:12:28.180 Spirit 182 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.070 as we have no record of before. 183 00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:39.300 We have more people today receiving the Holy Spirit in the Roman Catholic Church, 184 00:12:39.310 --> 00:12:42.220 in the Lutheran Church, in the Episcopal Church, 185 00:12:42.230 --> 00:12:45.740 and in all of the classic churches of the world. 186 00:12:45.750 --> 00:12:49.460 We have more people receiving the Holy Spirit than ever in their history. 187 00:12:49.470 --> 00:12:51.840 It doesn't matter how far they go back. 188 00:12:53.170 --> 00:12:54.360 Isn't that amazing? 189 00:12:56.420 --> 00:12:59.250 Most of the ministry that I perform in this country, 190 00:12:59.260 --> 00:13:03.410 and I just got back from a large meeting in Florida, 191 00:13:03.460 --> 00:13:06.850 most of the people that I minister to all over this country, 192 00:13:07.090 --> 00:13:10.120 are those who have come up out of the great denominations, 193 00:13:10.130 --> 00:13:12.980 and God has filled them with the power of the Holy Ghost, 194 00:13:12.990 --> 00:13:16.300 and they've got a hold on life like you never dreamed. 195 00:13:18.990 --> 00:13:23.360 There are more people being influenced by the Holy Spirit now than has ever been 196 00:13:23.370 --> 00:13:29.350 influenced before. And yet, these lessons are about the other side of that story. 197 00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:35.360 In the United States today, there are more people becoming part 198 00:13:35.370 --> 00:13:38.740 of the demonic manifestations. 199 00:13:39.180 --> 00:13:42.090 and becoming part of spirituous powers, 200 00:13:42.180 --> 00:13:45.330 and becoming part of demon operations, 201 00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:51.150 we have more people doing it now than ever before in any nation that's 202 00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:53.790 related to a nation like ours called a Christian nation. 203 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.430 And that is the challenge of this class, 204 00:13:58.500 --> 00:14:03.130 that you and I, as the light of the world, how many believe that? 205 00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:05.370 We're going to turn on the light brighter. 206 00:14:06.020 --> 00:14:09.390 Praise God forever, we're not going to use 50 kW anymore. 207 00:14:09.710 --> 00:14:11.780 We're going to go into some of these TV lights here. 208 00:14:11.790 --> 00:14:13.900 They run by thousands. They don't run by fifties. 209 00:14:14.210 --> 00:14:15.880 We're going to turn on the light brighter. 210 00:14:16.190 --> 00:14:17.780 And you want to know something? 211 00:14:18.030 --> 00:14:21.120 All you have to do to get rid of darkness is turn on a light. 212 00:14:22.010 --> 00:14:24.260 You don't have to curse it and stomp your foot. 213 00:14:24.270 --> 00:14:25.280 Just push the button. 214 00:14:26.570 --> 00:14:28.680 There was darkness in this room a little while ago, 215 00:14:28.690 --> 00:14:31.980 but there isn't any darkness now. Somebody push the button. 216 00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:34.270 How many want to be God's button? 217 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.110 I'm ready to be pushed, aren't you? 218 00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:40.170 It's the light that'll change this world. 219 00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.750 And we can make this bright until all the rats run in the hole. 220 00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:47.690 They can't stand the brightness of the power of God. 221 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:50.850 Are you ready for it? Amen. So am I. 222 00:14:51.280 --> 00:14:54.810 It's time for the Holy Spirit to move and to manifest Himself. 223 00:14:55.000 --> 00:15:00.930 And that demon power be destroyed. Be destroyed by the mighty power of God. 224 00:15:01.180 --> 00:15:06.430 And we trust that in these lessons that we will move into slowly and surely that you 225 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:10.510 and I will learn more. about how to set human beings free, 226 00:15:10.640 --> 00:15:14.770 how to set little children free, how to set mothers and fathers free. 227 00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:20.350 And any newspaper, including today's newspaper in this city, it overwhelmed you. 228 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:26.090 You read the story just tonight of the man who fainted in court today that killed 229 00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:31.730 his own four children, his wife and his mother -in -law. 230 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:36.210 And that's in our own state, you know. That's not our way off over in Timbuktu. 231 00:15:36.540 --> 00:15:39.110 You know, when I was a little boy, there were bad things that happened. 232 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:41.910 They were always thousands of miles away from me. 233 00:15:42.040 --> 00:15:44.070 You know, they were never close by. 234 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.430 Bad things always happened way out in some big city somewhere. 235 00:15:47.560 --> 00:15:52.390 Well, they're at home now. The things that happen in our own area are frightening. 236 00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:55.650 And we don't like them to be misnamed. 237 00:15:55.740 --> 00:16:00.070 We don't want a man like this to say he has temporary insanity if he's full of the 238 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.870 devil. We want to say it like it is. 239 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.970 And if a man's full of the devil, then he doesn't get free of the devil by putting 240 00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:08.910 him in jail and feeding him like a turkey. 241 00:16:09.850 --> 00:16:13.600 He gets free of the devil by casting the devil out of him and him start living for 242 00:16:13.610 --> 00:16:15.720 God. If you know it, say amen. 243 00:16:17.210 --> 00:16:20.900 I believe the only intelligent way to interpret these times in which we live today 244 00:16:20.910 --> 00:16:23.660 is prophetic fulfillment. 245 00:16:23.970 --> 00:16:28.000 That if you look at the newspapers today and you listen to the television broadcast 246 00:16:28.010 --> 00:16:32.120 today, and you try to interpret the times in which we live in any other way, 247 00:16:32.130 --> 00:16:35.640 excepting prophetic fulfillment, I think you'll miss the world that we live in 248 00:16:35.650 --> 00:16:40.130 today. I know one thing. I could become mighty discouraged if I didn't know God had 249 00:16:40.140 --> 00:16:41.210 His hand on things. 250 00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:46.290 But because I am sure that God has His hands on things, let her happen, 251 00:16:46.300 --> 00:16:48.510 let her rip, let her do anything she wants to do. 252 00:16:48.520 --> 00:16:50.450 God's got control, and I know it. 253 00:16:51.140 --> 00:16:53.050 If you know it, give Him a big hand for it. 254 00:16:53.060 --> 00:16:54.750 Glory be to God. That 255 00:17:01.130 --> 00:17:05.570 means we're not afraid of tomorrow, and we're not afraid of any cult. 256 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:09.290 that we're not afraid of any demonic force, communism, or any other. 257 00:17:09.300 --> 00:17:14.410 We know in whom we have believed that he is able to bring victory in the lives of 258 00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:19.190 nations, of peoples, and also persons like you and myself. 259 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.130 In this study, we hope to outline 260 00:17:22.320 --> 00:17:26.010 these which are the most historic years of all world history. 261 00:17:26.020 --> 00:17:27.930 Now, I believe that and I accept that statement. 262 00:17:27.940 --> 00:17:29.530 I underlined it in my notes. 263 00:17:29.560 --> 00:17:32.870 The most historic years of world history are right now, 264 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:35.430 in this present time in which we live. 265 00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:41.430 And we believe a Bible interpretation is what we must have for this moment in which 266 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:46.170 we live today. I was thinking, maybe you'd like to think about it too a little, 267 00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:50.510 what would Daniel have done if he'd lived in a time like ours today? 268 00:17:50.520 --> 00:17:52.030 I know what he would have done. 269 00:17:52.040 --> 00:17:55.750 He would have given us a Bible interpretation for all the things that are happening 270 00:17:55.760 --> 00:17:58.170 today, whether they're moral, whether they're social, 271 00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:00.150 whether they're political, whether they're economic. 272 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:04.350 He would have given to us a biblical interpretation of the times. 273 00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.570 How many believe that? I'm sure he would because you look in the book of Daniel and 274 00:18:08.580 --> 00:18:13.470 see what he did there. He gave a divine interpretation that God had his hand in it 275 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.110 and God was moving in it. 276 00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:18.070 And though men couldn't see it, he said, I can show it to you. 277 00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:23.010 He knew Babylon's place in history. He identified Babylon in that place. 278 00:18:23.100 --> 00:18:28.250 And Daniel, if you were living today, would identify God and what's happening in our 279 00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:29.490 world that we live in today. 280 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:33.030 It's the same message that Jeremiah would preach. 281 00:18:33.700 --> 00:18:39.450 From every street corner, he'd preach it. He knew why things had to happen. 282 00:18:39.460 --> 00:18:42.310 He knew why the nation of Israel had to go into bondage into Babylon. 283 00:18:42.320 --> 00:18:46.510 He told them why. You read the book of Jeremiah and it'll awaken something inside of 284 00:18:46.520 --> 00:18:50.330 you, making you wonder why the people didn't turn to God in a hurry and get out on 285 00:18:50.340 --> 00:18:51.750 their faces and seek God. 286 00:18:51.760 --> 00:18:55.790 But I'll tell you something, and don't forget it in this nation of ours. 287 00:18:55.800 --> 00:18:59.210 When a nation begins to slip, it's hard to ever stop it from slipping. 288 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:03.770 If a nation starts going to the devil, it's hard to put on the brakes. 289 00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:08.950 If a nation ever gets lax in its morals, it's hard to ever turn it around. 290 00:19:09.750 --> 00:19:14.300 And so we've got to reach God in a new way, in a new dimension, 291 00:19:14.310 --> 00:19:15.840 with a new force, with a new power. 292 00:19:15.850 --> 00:19:20.540 And inside of me, I am determined to reach out to God stronger than ever before, 293 00:19:20.550 --> 00:19:23.780 saying, God, if you can turn America around, turn it around. 294 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.790 And if you can't, come soon. 295 00:19:26.520 --> 00:19:30.650 Yes, sir. Come soon. Take us home. We're ready to go. 296 00:19:31.330 --> 00:19:35.070 In Jesus' name. If Daniel was living, if Jeremiah was living, 297 00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:39.790 if Ezekiel was living, he would proclaim the final conflict by Bible and divine 298 00:19:39.800 --> 00:19:42.410 interpretation. He wouldn't have been a lost man. 299 00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:45.190 He would have proclaimed this thing by divine interpretation, 300 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:51.050 and I can assure you that he would. Our world today is headed toward 2000 A .D. 301 00:19:51.060 --> 00:19:54.580 in prophecy. Now, at 2000 A .D., 302 00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:58.590 the Word of God teaches us that a day is with a thousand years, 303 00:19:58.600 --> 00:20:00.250 and a thousand years is with a day. 304 00:20:00.510 --> 00:20:03.140 You have Monday and Tuesday, and then you have the flood. 305 00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:05.550 And then you have Wednesday and Thursday, 306 00:20:05.560 --> 00:20:09.690 and then you have the death of Christ and his resurrection. 307 00:20:10.020 --> 00:20:13.470 Now you have Friday and Saturday, and we're coming to the end of Saturday. 308 00:20:13.600 --> 00:20:17.710 The world is headed toward 2 ,000 after death. 309 00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:22.030 And then we come to the final day of Sunday, the sabbatical day. 310 00:20:22.100 --> 00:20:26.020 And on that day, the Bible proclaims that there will be one... 311 00:20:26.030 --> 00:20:31.200 thousand years of peace on this earth with the lord jesus christ himself being the 312 00:20:31.210 --> 00:20:36.320 king of kings the lord of lords the potentate seated upon a throne that will govern 313 00:20:36.330 --> 00:20:39.660 the entire earth with his saints i 314 00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:46.190 like that last part too yes i'm tired of being the underdog bless god and with his 315 00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:52.070 saints he is going to govern this world so as the world goes headlong toward 316 00:20:52.080 --> 00:20:57.870 2000 a .d that they're going to have to face the church and especially the 317 00:20:57.880 --> 00:21:02.310 lively bodies of the living church that are determined to say, listen, 318 00:21:02.320 --> 00:21:04.870 we believe in God, we believe in the power of God, 319 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:09.690 we believe in the Spirit of God, and we're not going to give in to any force or any 320 00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:10.710 power of the devil. 321 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:16.750 The termination of this millennium in which we are living today will conclude the 322 00:21:16.760 --> 00:21:21.280 final judgments between now and 2 ,000, brother, it's going to happen. 323 00:21:21.350 --> 00:21:24.440 The final judgments. The judgments for sin, 324 00:21:24.450 --> 00:21:27.060 the judgments for rebellion against God, 325 00:21:27.510 --> 00:21:32.920 and will bring in the magnificent reign of our Lord and our Savior. 326 00:21:33.030 --> 00:21:35.740 What a time to be alive. 327 00:21:36.410 --> 00:21:38.900 What a time to be a worker for Jesus. 328 00:21:39.110 --> 00:21:42.420 What a time to stand before the world and say, we've got the answers, 329 00:21:42.430 --> 00:21:45.540 and we've had them all the time. We just didn't find them. 330 00:21:45.790 --> 00:21:48.980 We didn't just find them. We've had them all the time. 331 00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:54.460 What is the big challenge for today? What is the great challenge for today? 332 00:21:55.930 --> 00:22:00.120 I believe the greatest challenge that we can have today is the challenge of the 333 00:22:00.130 --> 00:22:05.360 principalities and the powers that we're going to study in a very strong way. 334 00:22:05.370 --> 00:22:09.340 And I feel in my heart that God is going to make mighty deliverers out of you that 335 00:22:09.350 --> 00:22:13.340 are listening here. I feel within my spirit that God is going to take some of you 336 00:22:13.350 --> 00:22:15.600 and use you in a way that you have never dreamed. 337 00:22:15.930 --> 00:22:18.180 And I'd like to set something straight. 338 00:22:19.350 --> 00:22:23.440 To set a person free from the devil's power does not take a lot of energy. 339 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:27.220 It does not even take... a loud voice. 340 00:22:28.230 --> 00:22:32.680 You can speak with the strength of the Holy Spirit and say, come out. 341 00:22:33.990 --> 00:22:38.600 And they can do nothing but come out. There's no alternative but to obey. 342 00:22:38.610 --> 00:22:40.640 You say, why would you say that? 343 00:22:40.650 --> 00:22:43.060 Because we speak upon the authority of the Great Commission. 344 00:22:44.020 --> 00:22:47.510 I don't know whether you were watching me a few months ago, 345 00:22:47.520 --> 00:22:51.190 but I had a Baptist evangelist on my television show, 346 00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.210 my talk show today with Lester Sumrall. 347 00:22:53.220 --> 00:22:58.180 And he came on there so excited, a very handsome, Young man, 348 00:22:58.190 --> 00:23:01.240 he had been giving lectures over here in Bethel College. 349 00:23:01.530 --> 00:23:06.640 And he started right off by saying, I've read almost everything you've written. 350 00:23:06.930 --> 00:23:08.420 I blinked my eyes, you know. 351 00:23:08.430 --> 00:23:11.460 I didn't really expect a Baptist evangelist to have read everything I've written, 352 00:23:11.470 --> 00:23:14.660 you know. And he said, especially about demon power. 353 00:23:15.290 --> 00:23:18.540 And I thought maybe he wanted to have a little controversy about something, 354 00:23:18.550 --> 00:23:19.940 you know. And I said, oh. 355 00:23:20.810 --> 00:23:23.600 And he said, you know, it's happening in me too. 356 00:23:23.970 --> 00:23:25.940 I said, now what's happening in you? 357 00:23:26.430 --> 00:23:29.500 Well, he said, I read how you were casting out spirits. 358 00:23:30.020 --> 00:23:36.050 And said, I was in a church and a girl went into a very strange situation, 359 00:23:36.060 --> 00:23:40.390 acting abnormal, completely abnormal. 360 00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.790 And he said, I just decided to do what you do. 361 00:23:44.250 --> 00:23:47.460 Now that's dangerous, you know, to start doing what somebody else does. 362 00:23:48.470 --> 00:23:51.340 He said, I didn't believe it would work, but I tried it. 363 00:23:51.590 --> 00:23:54.620 He said, I walked over and I said, you come out of there right now. 364 00:23:54.990 --> 00:23:58.660 And he said, you know, she became instantly healed by God's power, 365 00:23:58.670 --> 00:24:02.050 and she is still healed. And he says, you want to know something? 366 00:24:02.060 --> 00:24:04.030 I've cast a lot out since then. 367 00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:10.950 And I sat there amazed, you know, that here was a man that really hadn't had the 368 00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:15.670 proper schooling in this type of thing, but he had read about it, and he said, 369 00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:20.510 I want this thing, and in doing it, God gave him authority and power to cast those 370 00:24:20.520 --> 00:24:21.520 things forth. 371 00:24:22.290 --> 00:24:25.500 That just makes me know this, that anyone... 372 00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:27.730 who's covered with the blood of Jesus Christ, 373 00:24:27.780 --> 00:24:30.830 whatever denomination you are related with. 374 00:24:30.840 --> 00:24:33.290 If you're covered by the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, 375 00:24:33.300 --> 00:24:37.770 and you are a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, you can command the devil to go, 376 00:24:37.780 --> 00:24:41.390 and he has to go because you're under the divine authority of the great commission 377 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.010 of Jesus. And Jesus says, they that have faith shall cast out devils, 378 00:24:45.020 --> 00:24:48.770 and I believe it. Glory be to God. Yeah. 379 00:24:49.060 --> 00:24:52.470 And so we're living in a great moment, a great time. 380 00:24:52.490 --> 00:24:56.940 And the challenge before us is to set humanity free in their minds, 381 00:24:56.950 --> 00:25:01.140 in their emotions, in their wills, to set them free by God's mighty power. 382 00:25:01.150 --> 00:25:03.420 That is the greatest challenge that you and I have, 383 00:25:03.430 --> 00:25:05.480 and we are ready to accept the challenge. 384 00:25:05.820 --> 00:25:11.610 We believe the church of the Lord Jesus Christ must rise up to its greatest action 385 00:25:11.620 --> 00:25:17.550 in history. Now, this wouldn't be easy, to rise to the greatest action in history. 386 00:25:19.170 --> 00:25:22.300 We're going to have Miltare here. in a few weeks. 387 00:25:22.310 --> 00:25:24.580 And I hope you'll come in and see him again. 388 00:25:24.590 --> 00:25:26.000 He was with us a few years ago. 389 00:25:26.170 --> 00:25:29.820 And he tells amazing stories of Indonesia, 390 00:25:30.070 --> 00:25:34.460 of how God's power moves many times through the body. 391 00:25:34.810 --> 00:25:39.500 Like you and I would, together here as a group of, say, 400 folks and say, 392 00:25:39.510 --> 00:25:43.400 well, let's go take Mr. Walker. And we'd all go down the street together. 393 00:25:43.890 --> 00:25:46.820 And we'd just start going into every house and come back to the street and tell us 394 00:25:46.830 --> 00:25:47.880 what happened in that house. 395 00:25:48.130 --> 00:25:52.180 What would happen in a place if you got this many people marching through one city 396 00:25:52.190 --> 00:25:54.020 saying we're taking it for Jesus? 397 00:25:56.350 --> 00:26:00.440 We believe the church today must rise to its greatest action. 398 00:26:00.670 --> 00:26:05.740 Now you've heard about that fabulous revival that took place there in Indonesia. 399 00:26:05.750 --> 00:26:08.480 It was because whole churches had marched together. 400 00:26:08.510 --> 00:26:11.380 Very seldom did ever one minister go by himself anywhere. 401 00:26:11.690 --> 00:26:13.620 When they wanted to take a certain area, 402 00:26:13.630 --> 00:26:15.620 the whole church would just go over and do it together. 403 00:26:15.630 --> 00:26:17.810 Three and four hundred strong just march over and do it. 404 00:26:17.820 --> 00:26:22.230 Well, if one can chase 1 ,000, two can put 10 ,000 to flight, bless God, 405 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:23.240 give us 400. 406 00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:30.490 Yeah, because there's positive victory where God's people move against any force, 407 00:26:30.500 --> 00:26:33.210 any power, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 408 00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:38.170 We feel that the greatest action of the church in history 409 00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:42.530 is right before us right now. It's going to happen. 410 00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:44.610 It's going to happen through the lay people. 411 00:26:44.620 --> 00:26:46.550 They won't be called DDs. 412 00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:51.190 And they may not be called ministers or missionaries or anything. 413 00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:53.750 They will be called the disciples of the Lord. 414 00:26:53.760 --> 00:26:57.150 And they're going to go forth and set millions of people free. 415 00:26:57.240 --> 00:27:01.210 And I think it's going to be the most exciting moment the church ever knew.
