In these deliberate studies of principalities and powers, 3 00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:11.610 we will be exposing the occult. 4 00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.670 revealing knowledge of the doctrines, words, rites, eulogies, phrases, 5 00:00:15.680 --> 00:00:18.190 and definitions that demon worshipers use. 6 00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:22.510 The only intelligent way to interpret our times is to present a biblical 7 00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:27.050 interpretation. Jesus prophesied that his church shall prevail. 8 00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:32.970 In Matthew 16, verse 18, he said, Upon this rock I will build my church. 9 00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:36.280 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 10 00:00:36.590 --> 00:00:41.220 Today, the church must rise up to the greatest action of its entire history. 11 00:00:43.970 --> 00:00:46.720 We're teaching one of the most exciting classes, 12 00:00:46.830 --> 00:00:52.800 both in people and in material that we have 13 00:00:52.810 --> 00:00:56.340 ever taught, and we are truly excited about it. 14 00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.690 And not only are we excited because we can teach you, 15 00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:04.370 but we have more than 50 Bible colleges that carry these lessons. 16 00:01:04.570 --> 00:01:07.700 And so all over this nation and in foreign countries, 17 00:01:07.710 --> 00:01:12.060 they will be carrying the same lesson on a television set by video. 18 00:01:12.070 --> 00:01:14.820 They will be studies. They will be carrying these lessons. 19 00:01:14.830 --> 00:01:17.420 And we are delighted that they can join us. 20 00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:21.760 And we know that your spirit, that you're pouring into this because your spirit will 21 00:01:21.770 --> 00:01:26.680 be on this tape for sure. Your receptivity will be on this tape that we send out. 22 00:01:26.690 --> 00:01:30.760 And so you are a beautiful contribution to these lessons to bless others. 23 00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:34.120 These lessons are seen by a minimum. 24 00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:38.310 of four to six million people just by television in their first run. 25 00:01:38.720 --> 00:01:42.350 They are in Los Angeles twice a day, every day, 26 00:01:42.660 --> 00:01:47.390 and in Phoenix twice a day, and Oklahoma City twice a day, Denver twice a day, 27 00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:51.070 Miami twice a day, Indianapolis several times a day, South Bend, 28 00:01:51.080 --> 00:01:53.830 and many other areas throughout the world. 29 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.850 They are on two of the systems that go up into the air. 30 00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:01.270 and come back down again into many, many cable systems. 31 00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.370 And so we are thankful to God for all of His blessings 32 00:02:06.380 --> 00:02:11.710 upon the teaching of His Word, and we believe that right now it's very important to 33 00:02:11.720 --> 00:02:16.130 teach on this very particular subject, principalities and powers, 34 00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:19.550 deliverance from the devil's power. May I bless you. 35 00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.670 Father, bless these that study. 36 00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:26.890 I command the devil to take his hand off these people's minds, 37 00:02:26.900 --> 00:02:29.790 that their minds will be so alert, 38 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.730 and they shall run fast within them, 39 00:02:32.740 --> 00:02:36.790 and that they shall learn even more than it's been said, 40 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.670 that you will give them new thoughts within themselves, 41 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.550 and that there will be a spiritual acceleration, 42 00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:45.650 and then give them strength to know who they are, 43 00:02:45.660 --> 00:02:50.170 that they are the deliverers of mankind, and they're not afraid of anybody. 44 00:02:50.340 --> 00:02:54.510 And we ask you to bless them and strengthen them, and we thank you for it. 45 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.630 And all the people said, Amen. 46 00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:00.810 In this lesson that has to do with principalities and powers, 47 00:03:00.820 --> 00:03:04.410 we have come to a definition of words, 48 00:03:04.420 --> 00:03:08.910 a definition of what different things mean. 49 00:03:09.420 --> 00:03:14.150 In our newspapers and over the television and radios and 50 00:03:14.160 --> 00:03:19.050 whatnot, magazines and so forth, We see and hear words, 51 00:03:19.060 --> 00:03:21.630 and sometimes we don't know exactly what they are. 52 00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:27.710 And it's possible for us to be caught in the web and not know what the web is. 53 00:03:27.720 --> 00:03:31.250 And so we want you to have a great understanding. 54 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.490 We'd like to preemble this lesson with Matthew's Gospel, 55 00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:41.650 chapter 16 and verse 18, where the Lord Jesus Christ himself said that upon this 56 00:03:41.660 --> 00:03:46.810 rock... Now, he was talking to Simon Peter at that moment. 57 00:03:49.470 --> 00:03:52.820 And he had asked his disciples, whom say men that I am? 58 00:03:53.230 --> 00:03:57.020 And they said, some say that you're Jeremiah, Isaiah, one of the prophets. 59 00:03:57.030 --> 00:03:58.880 And Jesus said, whom do you say I am? 60 00:03:58.890 --> 00:04:02.960 And Simon Peter said, thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 61 00:04:02.970 --> 00:04:06.060 And Christ responded to him and said, upon that rock. 62 00:04:06.190 --> 00:04:11.500 You say, what rock is that? Upon the rock that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 63 00:04:11.510 --> 00:04:13.160 There isn't any other rock. 64 00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:17.470 If he isn't the Son of God, then we're all on shifting sand. 65 00:04:17.730 --> 00:04:23.240 But because he is the Christ, the Son of the living God, no more, 66 00:04:23.250 --> 00:04:29.100 just that, because that is what he is, then he says, 67 00:04:29.110 --> 00:04:33.860 upon that rock, upon that truth, upon that foundation, upon that strength, 68 00:04:33.930 --> 00:04:37.300 upon that power, that is where he said, I'll build my church. 69 00:04:37.310 --> 00:04:39.340 And he said, I've got news for you. 70 00:04:39.350 --> 00:04:43.840 The gates of hell cannot prevail against that church. 71 00:04:43.850 --> 00:04:49.070 So now we are in that church. And the gates of hell can't do anything about it. 72 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.610 Now, if you have studied ancient cities, 73 00:04:51.640 --> 00:04:54.870 the strongest part of every city was the gate. 74 00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:01.210 The gate. They put up the great steel gates and they constructed them so until 75 00:05:01.220 --> 00:05:05.530 their strength was in their gates. It was the strongest part of their city. 76 00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:10.730 And the strongest thing the devil has cannot resist the marching church. 77 00:05:11.440 --> 00:05:15.750 Now, it might resist the rocking church. 78 00:05:17.670 --> 00:05:21.240 God never intended for his church to be in a rocking chair anyway. 79 00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:24.930 He expects his church to be a marching church. 80 00:05:26.170 --> 00:05:30.300 I had forgotten who wrote the little song about hold the fort. 81 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:36.310 Yeah, I wish they hadn't written it because they got all of God's people in holds 82 00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:39.380 and won't let them out in their little forts. 83 00:05:39.830 --> 00:05:43.760 And God doesn't want you in a fort. He wants you in the open battlefield. 84 00:05:44.030 --> 00:05:48.400 He wants you on the battlefront. And he wants you on the devil's territory. 85 00:05:49.670 --> 00:05:52.040 Why wait till he comes over and fights us? 86 00:05:52.050 --> 00:05:53.460 Why don't we fight him first? 87 00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:58.960 Destroy his territory. You keep him busy over there, he can't get on yours. 88 00:06:00.980 --> 00:06:02.450 I believe that, don't you? 89 00:06:02.760 --> 00:06:07.690 Jesus said, upon this rock I'll build my church and the gates of hell shall not 90 00:06:07.700 --> 00:06:09.570 prevail against it. 91 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.510 We'd like to give you a list, incomplete as they necessarily would be, 92 00:06:15.520 --> 00:06:18.930 of occult words. Words that belong to spiritism. 93 00:06:19.070 --> 00:06:22.240 words that belong to demonism, occult words, 94 00:06:22.250 --> 00:06:25.320 and we'll be using these words during our studies, 95 00:06:25.330 --> 00:06:29.400 and we won't have to reflect back to them because you will also have an 96 00:06:29.410 --> 00:06:32.720 understanding of what they mean. Here's some of them. 97 00:06:32.730 --> 00:06:36.460 The word augury, A -U -G -U -R -Y. 98 00:06:37.070 --> 00:06:40.720 It can be used in prose, and you might slip right over it. 99 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:43.630 A professor might slip it into his studies, 100 00:06:43.640 --> 00:06:46.110 and you wouldn't know exactly where he was headed for. 101 00:06:46.890 --> 00:06:52.700 The word has a basic meaning of divination from omens and signs. 102 00:06:52.710 --> 00:06:58.360 It has everything to do with witchcraft and demonology and all sorts of things that 103 00:06:58.370 --> 00:07:00.880 have to do with another world of the devil. 104 00:07:01.030 --> 00:07:05.660 Don't ever play with the word and have no relationship to it whatsoever. 105 00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:12.180 I've met and possibly you've heard of automatic writing. 106 00:07:12.210 --> 00:07:17.470 I have seen it with my own eyes. This is writing done under a trance. 107 00:07:18.050 --> 00:07:23.020 induced by a spirit or a demon of some nature, of some sort. 108 00:07:23.150 --> 00:07:27.250 The spirit uses the hand of the person who is possessed, 109 00:07:27.260 --> 00:07:32.910 and they write, normally with their eyes closed or with their eyes looking up 110 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.770 or around, but never looking where they're writing. 111 00:07:35.960 --> 00:07:39.330 Now, there is a lot of automatic writing. 112 00:07:39.930 --> 00:07:43.820 And if you see those two words in literature, 113 00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:46.340 they might not seem significant to you at all. 114 00:07:46.510 --> 00:07:49.100 But if you have known such instances, 115 00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:53.430 I'm going to be telling you in these lessons quite a bit about 116 00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:55.950 a 117 00:07:56.890 --> 00:08:01.240 witch doctor that I brought up out of the country of Brazil. 118 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.610 He had been a witch doctor for 40 years. 119 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.130 And we think of those people as being outcasts. 120 00:08:08.290 --> 00:08:10.420 But he worked in the president's office. 121 00:08:10.950 --> 00:08:15.920 In the daytime, he wore a tuxedo and white gloves. 122 00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:18.750 and he brought people into the presence of the president. 123 00:08:19.830 --> 00:08:22.140 When he went home, he took that stuff off, 124 00:08:22.260 --> 00:08:26.490 and he drank hot chicken blood and danced the devil's dances. 125 00:08:27.190 --> 00:08:30.340 And sometimes he would wake, next time he'd wake up, 126 00:08:30.350 --> 00:08:33.140 he would be in a cemetery, sitting on a tombstone, 127 00:08:33.150 --> 00:08:36.300 having been dead drunk and stark naked. 128 00:08:36.530 --> 00:08:39.860 He'd have to steal his way back home because he had on no clothes. 129 00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.550 Take a bath and go back into the president's office. 130 00:08:44.730 --> 00:08:48.780 And no doubt when people saw them down there, they said, what a handsome man. 131 00:08:49.900 --> 00:08:52.370 And if they'd have seen him out there with the devil's bunch, 132 00:08:52.400 --> 00:08:53.390 what a different person he was. 133 00:08:53.400 --> 00:08:56.810 When he was three years old, he had the power of automatic writing. 134 00:08:57.400 --> 00:09:02.430 He wrote prescriptions in Latin that they took to the 135 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:07.690 pharmacist and got them filled. And he couldn't even write Portuguese yet. 136 00:09:08.290 --> 00:09:11.660 And yet the pharmacist could fill every one of them of what the people needed. 137 00:09:11.690 --> 00:09:17.410 He said that he had within him The spirit of a dead French 138 00:09:17.420 --> 00:09:18.420 doctor. 139 00:09:18.700 --> 00:09:20.930 I'll give you more about it a little later. 140 00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:23.770 And that spirit manifested in him. 141 00:09:23.780 --> 00:09:26.410 And when he was three years old, he could write those things. 142 00:09:27.030 --> 00:09:32.560 And Singapore, maybe I've told you that I came face to face with this and gave it a 143 00:09:32.570 --> 00:09:36.280 terrible rebuking. And God gave me a victory for it right inside of a heathen 144 00:09:36.290 --> 00:09:40.100 temple. If you wish, I'll give it a little more about it a little later. 145 00:09:40.110 --> 00:09:42.420 Anyway, we want you to understand what it means. 146 00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:45.390 Then we come to the matter of astrology. 147 00:09:46.400 --> 00:09:50.750 Astrology means fortune telling by reading the stars, 148 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.830 the zodiac signs, in order to understand your tomorrows, 149 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:57.530 in order to understand how you should live, how you should dress, 150 00:09:57.540 --> 00:10:03.530 who you should marry. And astrology is something very old. 151 00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:07.110 You can go right back to the first world empire, 152 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.090 which we will be doing in our lessons. 153 00:10:09.170 --> 00:10:13.140 And show you how it was a powerful factor in Babylon. 154 00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:17.790 Then we'll show you in the word of God where he said, don't do it. 155 00:10:18.140 --> 00:10:21.530 Now, those stars up there are completely dead. 156 00:10:22.210 --> 00:10:24.400 And there's no voice from Mars. 157 00:10:25.170 --> 00:10:27.600 And there's no street addresses on the moon. 158 00:10:27.850 --> 00:10:29.260 How many already knew that? 159 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:35.810 But you place them in an astrological working system, you know. 160 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.810 And you start saying, tomorrow's my bad day and the next day is my good day and I'm 161 00:10:39.820 --> 00:10:43.010 supposed to get up this way on this day and that day and I've got to work with the 162 00:10:43.020 --> 00:10:48.110 stars. That is an absolute lie and only the devil can manipulate you through that. 163 00:10:48.550 --> 00:10:52.820 And you will become a person manipulated by the devil if you're going to read these 164 00:10:52.830 --> 00:10:58.340 astrology stories and books and so forth and let your life be contaminated with 165 00:10:58.350 --> 00:11:03.080 them. But remember, it wasn't born yesterday and it didn't come around last week. 166 00:11:03.410 --> 00:11:08.900 It has caused, listen, the destruction of every empire there ever was. 167 00:11:11.160 --> 00:11:12.850 And we're going to go through that. 168 00:11:12.980 --> 00:11:18.670 And so, did you know there are a lot of church people that study astrology all the 169 00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:21.860 time and study the zodiac all the time? 170 00:11:22.170 --> 00:11:23.940 And they say, I don't see anything wrong with it. 171 00:11:23.950 --> 00:11:25.640 No, no, you don't see anything wrong with it. 172 00:11:25.650 --> 00:11:28.440 The devil's already got you. No problem there. 173 00:11:30.330 --> 00:11:33.060 He will be directing your life, you see. 174 00:11:33.090 --> 00:11:36.380 He'll be directing your life and you won't be able to do anything about it. 175 00:11:37.470 --> 00:11:41.160 There's one source of information for the future, and that's God's Word. 176 00:11:42.070 --> 00:11:45.680 And if God wants you to know something about tomorrow, He'll tell you about it. 177 00:11:46.160 --> 00:11:50.050 But the sweet thing is this. God says, I want you to live by faith. 178 00:11:50.180 --> 00:11:53.790 And when you live by faith, you're not supposed to know anything about tomorrow. 179 00:11:56.470 --> 00:11:59.180 If you know all about it, you don't have to live by faith. 180 00:11:59.190 --> 00:12:00.190 You already know. 181 00:12:01.160 --> 00:12:04.370 I don't know about tomorrow, so I have to hold God's hand real tight. 182 00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:10.310 Don't mess with astrology. 183 00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:13.790 Your number four there is astral projections. 184 00:12:15.510 --> 00:12:18.120 I don't know whether you've come across this too much or not. 185 00:12:18.130 --> 00:12:19.840 I've come across a lot of it. 186 00:12:20.250 --> 00:12:22.860 Astral projections is when the human soul leaves the body, 187 00:12:22.870 --> 00:12:27.900 travels on a different plane of consciousness to other places and brings back the 188 00:12:27.910 --> 00:12:30.060 material that's done over there. 189 00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:36.110 This more and more is becoming a knowledgeable thing in our country. 190 00:12:36.520 --> 00:12:41.430 The heathen peoples in India and Africa and other places have known of them for a 191 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.440 long time. 192 00:12:43.880 --> 00:12:47.130 And like I said, the two little words, astral projection, 193 00:12:47.140 --> 00:12:49.270 should seem so sweet and so nice, wouldn't it? 194 00:12:49.280 --> 00:12:54.730 Until you realize that it's the devil moving a person out of his body to another 195 00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:58.290 place to hear or to do something and coming back and getting into his body. 196 00:12:58.940 --> 00:13:02.050 All of these, of course, are counterfeits of what God can do. 197 00:13:02.420 --> 00:13:05.730 Everybody hear that? They're counterfeits of what God can do. 198 00:13:06.060 --> 00:13:09.150 Philip was moved 20 miles. 199 00:13:09.560 --> 00:13:13.090 From where he stopped talking to the eunuch, 200 00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:17.430 he was moved 20 miles over to where his continuing ministry was by the power of the 201 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:21.590 Holy Spirit. Naturally, the devil would like to counterfeit anything that God does. 202 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.150 I'd rather have the real McCoy. How about you? 203 00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:28.810 Let me go a little faster with these. The next one is animism. 204 00:13:29.020 --> 00:13:33.970 Animism believes that inanimate objects are alive and have souls, 205 00:13:33.980 --> 00:13:38.550 such as rocks, trees, mountains, rivers. 206 00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:41.730 In Hong Kong, we lived up on the top of the mountain, 207 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.390 Victoria. And I had to go up and down in my car, 208 00:13:45.400 --> 00:13:47.490 down to my office and church every day. 209 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:52.290 And up middle way was the most beautiful sight looking over Hong Kong Harbor. 210 00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:57.190 Not once or twice, I presume hundreds of times, I pulled into there. 211 00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.530 It had a place for you to pull your car in and then to take off. 212 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.910 And it is so gorgeous. And there's so many different things in the harbor. 213 00:14:04.020 --> 00:14:07.390 One day it would be the British fleet. Another day it would be the American fleet. 214 00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:10.590 And another day some beautiful boat that's on a cruise around the world. 215 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.750 And so you just enjoy looking down into the harbor. 216 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:18.710 But I discovered there Chinese people that weren't watching the harbor. 217 00:14:19.300 --> 00:14:22.870 And so I began to talk to them. I said, the boats are pretty. 218 00:14:25.140 --> 00:14:27.270 They weren't looking at boats. They'd shake their head. 219 00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.250 I'd say, aren't those great skyscrapers going up? 220 00:14:31.430 --> 00:14:34.440 And then I finally said, what are you doing here? 221 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:39.870 And right below to the right was an enormous rock. 222 00:14:40.430 --> 00:14:44.500 You couldn't climb up unless you were, you know, a special rock climber. 223 00:14:44.910 --> 00:14:47.620 Regular people couldn't climb. It was an enormous rock. 224 00:14:47.630 --> 00:14:48.630 It's still there. 225 00:14:49.230 --> 00:14:53.760 And I had them to slowly tell me that the spirit of the rock was able to answer 226 00:14:53.770 --> 00:14:54.770 their prayers. 227 00:14:55.750 --> 00:14:58.680 And so nonplussed me that every time I'd come then, 228 00:14:58.690 --> 00:15:02.780 I'd look around for these worshipers. Almost every time there were a few of them. 229 00:15:02.790 --> 00:15:06.020 And I'd say, how are you and the rock making it, you know? 230 00:15:09.730 --> 00:15:14.760 And then I'd say, I'd like to tell you that I know one who is the solid rock. 231 00:15:14.870 --> 00:15:17.420 And I know one who is the rock of ages. 232 00:15:17.690 --> 00:15:21.540 And I know one who will never disintegrate, never go to pieces. 233 00:15:21.550 --> 00:15:23.280 I'd like to tell you just a word about him, please. 234 00:15:23.290 --> 00:15:26.940 His name is Jesus. You know, sometimes they didn't know anything about it at all. 235 00:15:27.380 --> 00:15:30.990 Now, they would travel from all around that colony to this place to pray. 236 00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.080 It was a boulder. to pray to this big boulder that was down there, 237 00:15:35.090 --> 00:15:37.940 halfway down that valley, and they would come to pray there. 238 00:15:37.950 --> 00:15:40.420 Now, that is what we call animism, you see. 239 00:15:40.550 --> 00:15:42.740 They're praying to inanimate objects. 240 00:15:43.690 --> 00:15:48.500 I was preaching to the Aborigines up in the top of the mountains of Luzon, 241 00:15:48.510 --> 00:15:52.960 and I built a church in one of the tribes up there, 242 00:15:52.970 --> 00:15:56.700 and I went up to dedicate it, to dedicate the church. 243 00:15:56.710 --> 00:16:01.220 And so, going up to dedicate it, I looked around the tribe. 244 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.350 their village that they had, a very primitive village. 245 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.570 And in the middle of it, I wish I'd have taken a picture of it, 246 00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:12.210 although they may have hurt me if I had, was a tree. 247 00:16:12.830 --> 00:16:15.180 Now, you've seen a tree with kinks in it. 248 00:16:15.250 --> 00:16:18.540 Well, this tree had a thousand more kinks than any kinks you've ever seen. 249 00:16:18.950 --> 00:16:22.380 I have never seen a tree so maladjusted as that tree. 250 00:16:23.220 --> 00:16:25.850 Every few inches was another crook and a turn. 251 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.190 Now, this was in the tropics. There wasn't one single leaf on that tree. 252 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:35.150 Down before it was all kind of bread and food and candles. 253 00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:37.790 And they were coming and kneeling down and worshiping. 254 00:16:37.800 --> 00:16:41.510 So I had to find out. I said, tell me, what are you doing here? 255 00:16:41.680 --> 00:16:45.610 And they said, our chief spirit is this tree. 256 00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:49.110 And we come here to get our prayers answered. 257 00:16:49.160 --> 00:16:50.770 Come here to bring our sorrows. 258 00:16:51.660 --> 00:16:54.430 And I said, come down to the little new church. 259 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.850 We've just finished it down here. You'll get it all taken care of down there. 260 00:16:58.100 --> 00:16:59.670 We'll give it all taken care of. 261 00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:02.950 And that's the very place where I spoke to the chief witch, 262 00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:05.130 and she went dumb and didn't speak. 263 00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:08.750 The last time we were there, 48 hours later, she hadn't said a word since. 264 00:17:08.760 --> 00:17:12.490 That God just closed her up and silenced her to where she couldn't talk anymore. 265 00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:16.290 Because she had boasted that she would stop the service where we inaugurated this 266 00:17:16.300 --> 00:17:19.750 new church, that she boasted she'd come and destroy it and stop it. 267 00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:21.910 And when she did, I didn't know who she was. 268 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.600 But when she began to blubber out, you know... 269 00:17:24.610 --> 00:17:27.340 She was really in almost a trance. I screamed back. 270 00:17:27.350 --> 00:17:30.900 She was in the back. I said, you shut up and sit down and keep your mouth shut. 271 00:17:31.050 --> 00:17:33.500 And I forgot to tell her she could open it again later. 272 00:17:36.610 --> 00:17:39.740 But you see, God's power is stronger than the devil's power. 273 00:17:39.850 --> 00:17:42.880 How many are glad for that? We're glad for it. 274 00:17:43.310 --> 00:17:46.600 Don't play with animism. That is inanimate, 275 00:17:46.610 --> 00:17:50.420 inanimate objects that they believe that are alive, that have souls in them, 276 00:17:50.430 --> 00:17:53.340 and they're rocks, trees, mountains, rivers, rivers. 277 00:17:53.820 --> 00:17:56.970 That would be a study that you could study for a long time just in itself. 278 00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:58.310 I don't know that you need to. 279 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:04.270 I think just studying God's power and God's authority is enough just to recognize 280 00:18:04.280 --> 00:18:07.970 what the devil is doing and use God's authority to set people free. 281 00:18:07.980 --> 00:18:10.550 I believe it's enough. Can you say amen? Amen. 282 00:18:11.080 --> 00:18:15.150 There's the word amulet, which is used all the time in pagan countries. 283 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:18.210 It's an ornament inscribed with a magic spell or sign, 284 00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:22.330 usually worn around the neck or around the wrist or in some part of the body. 285 00:18:22.560 --> 00:18:26.750 And then All Hallows' Eve, October 31st, it is a witch festival. 286 00:18:27.020 --> 00:18:29.870 I would say to all of us, don't get messed up in those things. 287 00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:32.570 Don't get mixed up in those things. 288 00:18:32.580 --> 00:18:35.750 Don't let your children put on funny garments and run around the streets and all 289 00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:38.310 that business. Don't get mixed up with it. 290 00:18:38.320 --> 00:18:40.410 It came from the devil. It's going to go back to the devil, 291 00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:43.690 and God's people have no place in it. Can you say amen? 292 00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.250 Amen. All right, and there's the word black magic. 293 00:18:46.460 --> 00:18:51.390 This is a form of witchcraft, often called the black arts, using demon power. 294 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.490 for occult force. That's what black magic is. 295 00:18:54.500 --> 00:18:56.210 Then there's the black mass. 296 00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:59.210 It's a requiem mass at which the clergy is dressed in black. 297 00:18:59.220 --> 00:19:04.270 It is a blasphemous parody of the Roman Catholic mass by worshipers of Satan. 298 00:19:04.340 --> 00:19:09.310 And so the black mass is of the devil, and it's the devil performing a mass. 299 00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:14.650 The word to bewitch, it means to influence other people by witchcraft. 300 00:19:14.810 --> 00:19:17.100 You won't have to go anywhere to look up definitions. 301 00:19:17.110 --> 00:19:18.620 You'll keep this study before you. 302 00:19:18.630 --> 00:19:22.460 And when these words come up, you'll know exactly what they mean in an abbreviated 303 00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:24.900 way. There's the word clairvoyant. 304 00:19:24.910 --> 00:19:28.800 It's a medium who forecasts distant happenings through visions. 305 00:19:28.810 --> 00:19:32.780 That's what a clairvoyant does and is. What is a cult? 306 00:19:32.830 --> 00:19:37.400 A cult is a religious group, sometimes Christian, never fundamental, 307 00:19:37.810 --> 00:19:43.500 and doctrinally or spiritually. And a cult is a people that... 308 00:19:43.510 --> 00:19:48.460 that is not fundamental. And in their doctrines or in their spirituality, 309 00:19:48.470 --> 00:19:52.940 they are off base. Normally they have their own little Bible and their own code of 310 00:19:52.950 --> 00:19:56.680 ethics that they follow, but they are not of the fundamental truth of the Word of 311 00:19:56.690 --> 00:20:00.240 God, except in the Bible as to what you and I believe it to be and understand it to 312 00:20:00.250 --> 00:20:01.250 be. 313 00:20:01.270 --> 00:20:07.020 Number 13, a crystal gazer. It is a person who uses a crystal ball for divination. 314 00:20:07.410 --> 00:20:10.500 They look into the crystal ball and they can tell you about your own life. 315 00:20:10.510 --> 00:20:12.980 They can tell you about your future, they say. 316 00:20:13.110 --> 00:20:14.520 We do not believe in it. 317 00:20:14.530 --> 00:20:18.860 We believe it is a lie, and we believe that the devil wishes to deceive you by 318 00:20:18.870 --> 00:20:22.120 making you think that he can see things. And I can tell you one thing. 319 00:20:22.130 --> 00:20:27.080 If they see a big bar of gold in there, you won't be the first one to get it. 320 00:20:27.610 --> 00:20:30.000 They'll out -distance you to it every time. 321 00:20:31.060 --> 00:20:36.660 We have the word charm. and this is used quite often in our living today, charm. 322 00:20:36.670 --> 00:20:40.240 A charm is an ornament believed to contain magical powers. 323 00:20:40.330 --> 00:20:43.600 Don't ever wear any trash and junk like that, please. 324 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:49.430 I believe that we should destroy all of the emblems of demon power. 325 00:20:50.100 --> 00:20:53.770 We don't need any kind of the devil's charms to help us. 326 00:20:53.840 --> 00:20:57.150 We don't need anything hanging up in our cars, 327 00:20:57.220 --> 00:21:01.390 dangling there in front of us to keep us from having a wreck. 328 00:21:01.750 --> 00:21:04.480 It could cause you to have one by not being able to see right. 329 00:21:05.360 --> 00:21:08.610 But God does not work through that type of thing. 330 00:21:08.620 --> 00:21:10.230 God never works in that type of thing. 331 00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:14.070 And God doesn't want his people walking around with charms. 332 00:21:14.320 --> 00:21:18.410 You believe what I'm saying? If there are any charms at your house, destroy them. 333 00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:21.510 Whether they are worn around your arm, whether they're wearing around your neck, 334 00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:23.750 or wherever they are, we don't believe in them. 335 00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:26.310 And God doesn't believe in them. The Bible doesn't teach about them. 336 00:21:26.320 --> 00:21:29.370 And if there are charms, they belong to the devil's powers. 337 00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:31.010 They do not belong to God's powers. 338 00:21:31.760 --> 00:21:34.720 Then you have cartomancy. 339 00:21:34.770 --> 00:21:39.840 And this cartomancy is a form of fortune telling with cards. 340 00:21:40.030 --> 00:21:45.260 It is very, very popular in this country that we live in today to tell people's 341 00:21:45.270 --> 00:21:47.500 fortune by the reading of cards. 342 00:21:47.970 --> 00:21:52.640 Cards cannot tell you your future any more than the stars can tell you your future. 343 00:21:52.650 --> 00:21:56.400 And anyone who tries to involve themselves in that can get themselves in some 344 00:21:56.410 --> 00:22:00.740 terrible troubles with God. If you know that, say amen. 345 00:22:01.520 --> 00:22:03.510 The 16th word there is curse. 346 00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:07.770 A curse is an incantation for harm to come upon someone else. 347 00:22:07.780 --> 00:22:10.610 That's what a curse is. It is an incantation. 348 00:22:10.620 --> 00:22:13.010 It's a prayer. It's a sing -song. 349 00:22:13.560 --> 00:22:18.090 It's saying words to say, now I curse you to harm you, 350 00:22:18.100 --> 00:22:23.110 and it's always of the devil. 351 00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:26.030 God hasn't given us the privilege of cursing anybody. 352 00:22:26.340 --> 00:22:29.330 In the Old Testament, we're going to bring that to you, 353 00:22:29.340 --> 00:22:31.250 how God brought curses upon this earth. 354 00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:33.330 But we're going to show you that in the New Testament, 355 00:22:33.340 --> 00:22:38.380 there's a group of people that are actually immune to curses. 356 00:22:39.450 --> 00:22:43.400 They are immune to them. You can curse them all you want to, 357 00:22:43.410 --> 00:22:46.600 and they just shout and praise God so loud they can't even hear what you're saying. 358 00:22:49.090 --> 00:22:54.340 The 17th word is a coven. A coven is an assembly of 13 witches. 359 00:22:54.610 --> 00:22:58.340 And there could be more and there could be less, but normally that's their coven. 360 00:22:58.350 --> 00:23:03.780 And that's for their symbol, to have their witch meetings and their services 361 00:23:03.790 --> 00:23:08.180 into their group together called a coven. 362 00:23:08.470 --> 00:23:11.060 And your 18th word is this word, 363 00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:17.590 cephalomancy. And cephalomancy means divination using the skull or the 364 00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:22.860 head of a donkey or a goat. And that is getting into the deep. 365 00:23:22.870 --> 00:23:25.320 points of black magic. 366 00:23:25.330 --> 00:23:28.460 And these things are used today, 367 00:23:28.470 --> 00:23:34.140 but very likely you won't be anywhere associated or related to anything of this 368 00:23:34.150 --> 00:23:36.160 nature, and you can thank God for that. 369 00:23:36.230 --> 00:23:41.700 The word conjure means to summons up a departed demon spirit, often by incantation. 370 00:23:41.710 --> 00:23:47.540 You conjure up these spirits. And this is done very simply, very simply. 371 00:23:47.550 --> 00:23:50.300 I went through a big temple one time in China. 372 00:23:51.150 --> 00:23:53.520 It was called the temple of the 10 ,000 Buddhas. 373 00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.510 They had 10 ,000 different Buddhas in this one temple. 374 00:23:56.520 --> 00:23:59.990 In the middle was a great, big Buddha. Enormous, enormous, enormous thing. 375 00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.770 He must have been as, well, almost as high as a ceiling here. 376 00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:05.810 An enormous Buddha. And I was looking all around him. 377 00:24:06.100 --> 00:24:08.690 My interpreter was with me, and a priest came by. 378 00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:13.130 And when the priest came by, I said, what can this Buddha do? 379 00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:14.370 And he said, nothing. 380 00:24:16.100 --> 00:24:19.990 I said, you're praying to him, and you've got incense here. 381 00:24:20.100 --> 00:24:21.670 He said, I'll show you something. 382 00:24:21.750 --> 00:24:24.980 He took me to the back, and there was a hole in the back of it. 383 00:24:24.990 --> 00:24:28.560 He says the spirit that lives in here is possibly out in the mountains somewhere. 384 00:24:28.730 --> 00:24:31.260 Right now he's gone. And says this is just nothing. 385 00:24:31.310 --> 00:24:35.700 But says if I kneel down and bring my offering, and I begin to pray, 386 00:24:35.710 --> 00:24:37.400 he comes off the mountains. He hears me. 387 00:24:37.410 --> 00:24:42.040 He comes inside, and then say, he said he is powerful. 388 00:24:42.410 --> 00:24:45.180 He is powerful. The idol becomes powerful. 389 00:24:45.310 --> 00:24:46.960 Well, you see, that's what I'd always believed, 390 00:24:46.970 --> 00:24:49.260 and I was glad that a heathen told me about it. 391 00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:54.210 The Bible tells us that the idols which the 392 00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:59.790 pagans have are devils. He says their idols are devils. 393 00:24:59.800 --> 00:25:05.290 And so the man said so. He said the idol is nothing until the spirit enters it. 394 00:25:05.300 --> 00:25:08.250 And he says then it has great power. 395 00:25:08.260 --> 00:25:12.830 And that means when the devil would come in, then it would have a great power. 396 00:25:12.840 --> 00:25:16.350 And so we just simply don't want to... 397 00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:18.850 Be involved in what you call conjuring, 398 00:25:18.860 --> 00:25:21.250 calling up demon spirits to do things for us. 399 00:25:21.540 --> 00:25:23.990 May I go a little quickly, more quickly, please? 400 00:25:24.100 --> 00:25:27.610 21 is divination. It means to foretell the future, event, 401 00:25:27.620 --> 00:25:30.430 or discover some hidden information in divination. 402 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.670 A demon, as you know them, is an evil attendant, power or spirit, 403 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:37.650 who is subservient to the devil or to Satan. 404 00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:43.710 An enchanter is a sorcerer who can cast a spell by magic or he can bewitch 405 00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:48.730 someone. Now at the bottom of your page is a fetish of which is an object regarded 406 00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:53.850 as magical or sacred, which thing we should not be associated with. 407 00:25:53.860 --> 00:25:59.430 A familiar spirit is a spirit embodied in a person which attends and serves and 408 00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:04.790 guards a person. A spirit can also be in the form of a person. 409 00:26:04.800 --> 00:26:09.330 A familiar spirit is a spirit embodied in a person which attends and serves and 410 00:26:09.340 --> 00:26:11.730 guards that person, and that becomes his spirit. 411 00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:16.350 and this familiar spirit a fortune teller is one who tells future events for 412 00:26:16.360 --> 00:26:21.990 individuals that that is his business a hex number 32 is to 413 00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:27.890 an effect by an evil spell that they become hexed by this thing a ouija 414 00:26:27.900 --> 00:26:33.510 board number 31 39 is a game board used to obtain spiritualistic 415 00:26:33.520 --> 00:26:39.290 or telepathic messages about the future or about a hidden hidden knowledge 416 00:26:39.300 --> 00:26:44.770 a palmistry that's greatly influenced in this country is definition by lines and the 417 00:26:44.780 --> 00:26:46.950 formation in a person's hands. 418 00:26:47.580 --> 00:26:49.110 Satanism, 46, 419 00:26:50.560 --> 00:26:54.930 is a worship usually involving a travesty of Christian rights. 420 00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:58.230 And you would be amazed. You would simply be amazed. 421 00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:04.030 Almost all of the demons that function in the witchcraft of Brazil have a name of 422 00:27:04.040 --> 00:27:08.540 one of the saints. St. George, St. Mary, and all of the saints. 423 00:27:08.550 --> 00:27:12.560 These spirits call themselves embodiments of the saints.
