Jesus prophesied that his church shall prevail. 7 00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:28.190 In Matthew 16, verse 18, he said, 8 00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.850 Upon this rock I will build my church, 9 00:00:30.860 --> 00:00:34.270 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 10 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:39.170 Today the church must rise up to the greatest action of its entire history. 11 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.890 I wish to thank you and say God bless you. 12 00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:51.730 May I pray. Father, these lessons, 13 00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:57.330 we believe that we are doing the will of God 14 00:00:57.340 --> 00:00:59.450 and that we are training. 15 00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:03.830 the army for the last days just before Jesus comes. 16 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.770 And it's a kind of a John Baptist labor, 17 00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:10.770 getting ready for the Messiah to return. 18 00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.610 And so we are glad to be involved in teaching the equipment that's available 19 00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:21.590 to the believer, irrespective of denomination and irrespective of 20 00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:26.710 anything, abilities or anything else that God can give to those who have little 21 00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:31.420 ability, mighty power, if they'll... turn their faith loose and receive it from God. 22 00:01:31.430 --> 00:01:36.800 So we ask you that in these lessons that you will train us and prepare us for 23 00:01:36.810 --> 00:01:40.160 victory. Nothing short of victory. We thank you for it. 24 00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:43.150 And all the people said, God bless you. 25 00:01:43.160 --> 00:01:48.830 We are studying what God says about principalities and powers. 26 00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:54.830 And it's very applicable to begin at that point for 27 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:57.930 the simple reason God knows more about it than anybody else. 28 00:01:59.300 --> 00:02:05.010 If there was a new car on the market and it had a lot of new gadgets on it and I 29 00:02:05.020 --> 00:02:07.830 bought one, I can assure you one thing, 30 00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:12.850 that I wouldn't go and ask the man out here at the city dump how to operate this 31 00:02:12.860 --> 00:02:18.010 car. I would ask the man that sold it to me and the man that was acquainted with all 32 00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:21.850 the new gadgets, I'd say, I'd like for you to tell me all this car will do. 33 00:02:21.940 --> 00:02:26.730 And so if you want true information, you go to a proper source. 34 00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:32.670 Well, God is the source of information related to principalities and powers. 35 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.850 And if you go to any other source, you might get the wrong slant. 36 00:02:37.700 --> 00:02:42.250 Now, we live in a world of mimicry. How many of you know that? 37 00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:46.330 And that's true in the ministry. I ministered for a long time. 38 00:02:46.340 --> 00:02:49.230 And if a man becomes an outstanding minister, 39 00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.190 there are oftentimes a lot of little echoes, you know, following them around. 40 00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:55.330 And you can tell where they've been by how they sound. 41 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:01.130 God doesn't really want that. God wants each one of us to be a true voice. 42 00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:04.010 And nobody's echo except the echo of Jesus. 43 00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:06.790 We'll accept that one. Accept the echo of Jesus. 44 00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:12.010 And God wants to deal with every one of us specifically and different from any other 45 00:03:12.020 --> 00:03:14.750 person. God wants to deal with you uniquely. 46 00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:18.710 And all we're doing is laying down a general pattern for you to say, yeah, 47 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:21.670 I'm taking a hold of this thing. It's going to grow in me. 48 00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:24.770 And when I bring it forth, it's going to be my own. 49 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.830 Because I'm going to digest it in my spirit. 50 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.790 And when it comes out, it's going to be my own message to the world that we live in 51 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.410 today. It's a great day to be alive. God needs you in this great army. 52 00:03:35.420 --> 00:03:37.330 And may you set many people free. 53 00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:39.990 I'd like to say that in your own home, 54 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.250 you may find some very strange things. 55 00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.290 We very often have to pray for little children. 56 00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.930 They become wild. They become destructive. 57 00:03:50.980 --> 00:03:52.710 They become nervous. 58 00:03:54.140 --> 00:03:59.790 And all they need is a sweet prayer just to lay hands upon them and say, Satan, 59 00:03:59.820 --> 00:04:02.890 take your hand off my home, off my family. 60 00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:06.490 I command the peace of the Lord to flow through my little one. 61 00:04:06.500 --> 00:04:09.130 And you know what will happen right then? It will happen right. 62 00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:12.330 We see it very often right here where we're standing. 63 00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:16.070 We pray for many little children. The parents bring them up. 64 00:04:16.080 --> 00:04:21.570 And there's an instant reaction to it of love and a flowing until sometimes the 65 00:04:21.580 --> 00:04:25.850 parents are even amazed. And we need to keep our whole house cleaned. 66 00:04:26.260 --> 00:04:29.050 If anything abnormal begins to creep up in the home, 67 00:04:29.670 --> 00:04:32.440 plead the blood of Jesus Christ across your home. 68 00:04:32.450 --> 00:04:34.960 Keep your house clean and keep it ready for action. 69 00:04:34.970 --> 00:04:38.300 And when you meet a person, when God brings you in direct relationship of a person 70 00:04:38.310 --> 00:04:41.260 having a need, deal with it in Jesus' name. 71 00:04:41.330 --> 00:04:43.360 And you say, well, I'm not a professional. 72 00:04:43.370 --> 00:04:46.880 Well, the first 12 apostles weren't too professional. 73 00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:52.310 Yeah, yeah. Fishing is not too professional when it comes to the job that's setting 74 00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:55.450 of winning the world. But they did it, you see. 75 00:04:55.460 --> 00:04:57.250 And we can do it with God's help. 76 00:04:57.580 --> 00:05:02.550 We are working on page 12 in your syllabus there when it has to do with 77 00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.050 principalities and powers. 78 00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:09.730 And your point number nine says, God says that principalities reinforce their battle 79 00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:14.190 for souls. Isn't that amazing? That is truly amazing. 80 00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:17.030 Now, if Jesus says it, you'll have to believe it. 81 00:05:17.100 --> 00:05:20.330 And so the Lord Jesus revealed in Luke's Gospel, chapter 11, 82 00:05:20.340 --> 00:05:24.990 and it's also found in one of the other Gospels, in chapter 11, verse 24, 83 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.050 these words, when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, 84 00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:31.290 that means when a person is delivered by God's mighty power, 85 00:05:31.520 --> 00:05:36.210 that that unclean spirit that came out of that man walks through dry places. 86 00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:41.910 He has been cast out into unoccupied places and uninhabited places, 87 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.350 and he gets out there. And he doesn't like it. 88 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.270 It says he seeks rest, but he doesn't find any. 89 00:05:48.420 --> 00:05:52.650 He says, I don't like living out here with the birds and the bees. 90 00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:56.290 He says, this is not funny at all. He says, I want to live where there are humans. 91 00:05:56.300 --> 00:05:58.870 I want to hurt humans. I can't hurt the insect. 92 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:04.050 I want to hurt humans. And he says that he seeks to be satisfied, 93 00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:07.470 but he's not satisfied. And this is what he says. 94 00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:11.670 I will return unto the house from whence I came out. 95 00:06:11.980 --> 00:06:13.870 How many are going to believe what Jesus said? 96 00:06:14.140 --> 00:06:16.910 Now, if you're not going to believe what Jesus said, 97 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:18.550 these lessons are not much good to us. 98 00:06:18.620 --> 00:06:23.630 But if you're going to believe the Bible, clean and pure and straight, 99 00:06:23.760 --> 00:06:28.250 without any decorations of any kind, without any garnishing, 100 00:06:28.340 --> 00:06:32.070 just plain straight, then we come to something. 101 00:06:32.080 --> 00:06:35.850 But if you're going to hedge and say, it says that, but it don't mean it, 102 00:06:35.860 --> 00:06:38.010 I believe it means exactly what it says. 103 00:06:38.690 --> 00:06:42.200 What did you say? All right. It says that this is a devil. 104 00:06:42.350 --> 00:06:48.240 Jesus said it. Cast out of a man. He was cast into the emptiness of space someplace. 105 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.350 And he couldn't find any rest there. He wasn't satisfied. 106 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:53.710 He couldn't possess a human. 107 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.590 And so he said, I'll go back to the house that I came out of. 108 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.050 You see, you're called a house. 109 00:06:59.220 --> 00:07:02.370 And we get to teaching you about this man from South America, 110 00:07:02.380 --> 00:07:05.370 and you'll have information that nobody else in this country has. 111 00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:09.510 He was a witch doctor for 40 years, and the devil's called him an apparatus. 112 00:07:10.760 --> 00:07:13.070 They said, you are my apparatus. 113 00:07:13.340 --> 00:07:19.110 And he told me, although he had more than 300 evil spirits to function through him, 114 00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:24.610 he said that they don't care for anybody and that I was only their manipulated 115 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:28.550 apparatus. Man, it's glad to get free from a thing like that. 116 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.190 We are not an apparatus with God. We're his son. 117 00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:37.430 We're his daughter. We're princes and princesses under the Most High. 118 00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:42.360 We're not an apparatus. The devil would like to cause every man and woman in India 119 00:07:42.370 --> 00:07:46.800 to be an apparatus. Every man and woman in Africa to be an apparatus. 120 00:07:47.070 --> 00:07:50.300 But I want you to know one thing. We are the sons of the king. 121 00:07:50.310 --> 00:07:53.500 And also, we are the elite of the fighting forces. 122 00:07:53.550 --> 00:07:58.300 Hey, I like that, don't you? Yeah, we are the elite of the fighting forces of God. 123 00:07:58.310 --> 00:08:01.740 And when you leave these classes, we believe that you can set anybody free that 124 00:08:01.750 --> 00:08:03.800 needs to be free, even which doctors. 125 00:08:05.070 --> 00:08:07.820 Are you ready for that one? All right. 126 00:08:07.830 --> 00:08:12.200 He says, I'll return to the place, the house, the house that I came out of. 127 00:08:12.210 --> 00:08:14.600 The Bible says you are the temple of the living God. 128 00:08:14.810 --> 00:08:19.020 And he called you a house, the dwelling place that I had. 129 00:08:19.030 --> 00:08:23.020 So he came and he found it, the other scripture says, 130 00:08:23.030 --> 00:08:26.280 empty and swept and garnished. 131 00:08:26.840 --> 00:08:29.970 Found it empty and swept and garnished. 132 00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:33.170 And so when it was empty, 133 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:38.380 now in teaching you this, I ought to make a step further 134 00:08:38.390 --> 00:08:42.680 that you must never set a person free and turn him loose. 135 00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:48.390 Now, the great deliverances that I've had that moved countries and moved cities 136 00:08:48.400 --> 00:08:52.670 because they had a lot of notoriety, I didn't deal with that person just one time, 137 00:08:52.680 --> 00:08:54.150 but sometimes dozens of times. 138 00:08:54.650 --> 00:08:59.560 Because I not only helped them to get free, I put something into that emptiness. 139 00:08:59.730 --> 00:09:02.400 I began to put the Word of God in there every day. 140 00:09:02.490 --> 00:09:05.890 The girl in the Philippines that we set free, She was in jail. 141 00:09:05.900 --> 00:09:08.070 I went personally to the court and got her out of jail. 142 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.570 I put her into the home of one of my members who was a medical doctor so he could 143 00:09:12.580 --> 00:09:16.870 see that she was all right. And I took her with me every night to a meeting. 144 00:09:16.880 --> 00:09:19.530 I didn't ask her if she wanted to go. I said, it's time to go. 145 00:09:19.540 --> 00:09:20.540 Get in this car. 146 00:09:22.620 --> 00:09:25.630 And we kept putting the word of God into that emptiness. 147 00:09:25.700 --> 00:09:29.790 She had never been to church, you see. Her mother died when she was 12 years old. 148 00:09:29.800 --> 00:09:33.910 And she had been a harlot since she was 12 and couldn't name the number of men that 149 00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:37.430 she had been to bed with. 8, 10, 15, 20 a night sometimes. 150 00:09:37.660 --> 00:09:40.590 Just made herself just an instrument of death. 151 00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:43.770 You see, just so filthy, so unclean. 152 00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:48.210 And we began to put the Word of God into that thing that used to be unholy and 153 00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:53.150 unclean. And we just kept on doing it until we built her up in the faith of the Lord 154 00:09:53.160 --> 00:09:56.070 Jesus Christ. We had been in large meetings, 155 00:09:56.260 --> 00:09:59.710 like five or six or seven times the size of this class. 156 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.490 And I would look back and see her start to look frightened. 157 00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:05.690 I'd say, let her sing a chorus. 158 00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:08.210 I'd stop that meeting, I'd let them sing, 159 00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:10.890 and I'd go right back and right by her, I'd say, 160 00:10:10.900 --> 00:10:15.630 I command you that no fear shall be in your heart and that nothing can touch you. 161 00:10:15.640 --> 00:10:20.170 Now you'll be free forever. And I commanded her to stay free. 162 00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:23.210 And I didn't say, well, after church I'm going to deal with that. 163 00:10:23.220 --> 00:10:26.350 I let church roll along and I went and dealt with it right then. 164 00:10:26.420 --> 00:10:31.510 You say, why? I was determined that that girl that the devil was about to destroy 165 00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:33.790 would never be back in his shackles again. 166 00:10:34.100 --> 00:10:38.030 So Jesus said the evil spirit came back and found it empty. 167 00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:40.350 Don't ever let a person be empty. 168 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.050 When you find a person that wants to be saved and he gets saved, 169 00:10:46.060 --> 00:10:47.670 you shouldn't send him home that way. 170 00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.870 You should put a Bible in his hand and say, say, read this the rest of the night. 171 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.690 You say, why? Because he's going out empty. 172 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:57.670 You just threw the devil out of his life. 173 00:10:58.330 --> 00:11:01.640 And when he gets out the door, the devil will say, oh, you rattle, don't you? 174 00:11:01.810 --> 00:11:05.220 Well, yeah, it's all empty in there. Well, put something in there. 175 00:11:05.650 --> 00:11:08.100 Put the word of the Lord in there. Put the Bible in there. 176 00:11:08.110 --> 00:11:11.520 Put the promises of God in there. Put the mighty Holy Spirit in there. 177 00:11:11.530 --> 00:11:15.680 And fill him with something. It's not enough to be free. 178 00:11:15.910 --> 00:11:18.560 You got to have something on the inside of us. 179 00:11:19.340 --> 00:11:22.450 Can you say amen? All right. He found the thing empty. 180 00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:25.370 And then it says he found it swept. 181 00:11:25.520 --> 00:11:29.930 You know, the Lord who had delivered him cleaned him up. 182 00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:32.590 Brother, he had stopped all of his bad habits, you know. 183 00:11:32.790 --> 00:11:35.620 And then it says garnish. The word garnish means decorate. 184 00:11:36.050 --> 00:11:38.780 He had his songbook in one hand, his Bible in the other. 185 00:11:38.790 --> 00:11:42.300 He just didn't have them inside of him. He was decorated. 186 00:11:42.750 --> 00:11:47.600 Yeah, he was all decorated with religion. Maybe had on religious garments by now. 187 00:11:47.670 --> 00:11:49.580 But religious garments won't save anybody. 188 00:11:49.590 --> 00:11:51.960 It's what's in your soul that'll save a man. 189 00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:56.090 And so it says here that he came and found this man. 190 00:11:56.890 --> 00:11:59.100 And the other translation, I think it's in Matthew, 191 00:11:59.110 --> 00:12:01.380 says he was empty and swept and garnished. 192 00:12:01.390 --> 00:12:05.530 Then he said, He goeth and taketh to him seven other spirits. 193 00:12:06.250 --> 00:12:11.660 Now, one of these days, we're going to get into showing you from the Bible these 194 00:12:11.670 --> 00:12:15.900 principalities and powers and located them and telling you about them. 195 00:12:15.910 --> 00:12:20.220 And it's going to be very exciting. It says he took seven others. 196 00:12:20.910 --> 00:12:23.680 Isn't it amazing that he had seven friends? 197 00:12:23.930 --> 00:12:28.140 I mean, a devil did. And he says they were more wicked than himself. 198 00:12:28.380 --> 00:12:30.890 Now, if you study the Word of God closely, 199 00:12:30.900 --> 00:12:33.250 it says they were more wicked than himself. 200 00:12:33.260 --> 00:12:36.230 And so there's degrees of wickedness, even in devils. 201 00:12:36.560 --> 00:12:39.970 Degrees of wickedness. Jesus said so. Jesus said so. 202 00:12:39.980 --> 00:12:43.750 That there are degrees of wickedness. And they come and they enter into this man. 203 00:12:43.760 --> 00:12:45.270 Why? He had no resistance. 204 00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:50.130 He was empty. He was swept. He was garnished. 205 00:12:50.560 --> 00:12:52.150 But he had no resistance. 206 00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.990 And so when we set people free, we haven't finished our job yet. 207 00:12:56.560 --> 00:13:00.870 We have to bring them right on in and put within them the divine truths of God and 208 00:13:00.880 --> 00:13:03.050 the power of God and the anointing of God and say, 209 00:13:03.060 --> 00:13:06.330 now you walk in the truth and you're a deliverer too. 210 00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:11.660 And also teach them how to worship. Teach them how to sing. 211 00:13:11.950 --> 00:13:17.600 Teach them how to praise God until their total being is just swimming in the 212 00:13:17.610 --> 00:13:22.260 blessing of God. A person stays free when they're full of the blessing of God. 213 00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:27.990 Are you with me? yeah it's not enough to set a man free whether it's a sinner to be 214 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:32.880 saved or whether it's a person that's possessed of the devil to be set free they 215 00:13:32.890 --> 00:13:37.360 were more wicked than himself and they enter in and dwell there you see they went 216 00:13:37.370 --> 00:13:41.080 they have made their home they they dwell there and the last state of that man was 217 00:13:41.090 --> 00:13:44.680 worse than the first now that was dealing with point number nine god said the 218 00:13:44.690 --> 00:13:48.340 principalities and powers can reinforce their battle for souls they have 219 00:13:48.350 --> 00:13:54.320 reinforcements they can call in and and uh and and they know things a lady came to 220 00:13:54.330 --> 00:13:59.160 this very building right here from new mexico and when i went in to pray for her 221 00:13:59.170 --> 00:14:05.080 that spirit using a man's voice came up out of her and said i know you that wasn't a 222 00:14:05.090 --> 00:14:11.010 woman's voice says i was in manila and i saw you set the girl free but i'm more 223 00:14:11.020 --> 00:14:16.720 i'm stronger than that spirit that you cast out i said you're a liar you come out of 224 00:14:16.730 --> 00:14:21.460 there right now you see if you're going to start believing what they say you are in 225 00:14:21.470 --> 00:14:22.470 bad shape 226 00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:26.490 If they say they're 40, never believe it. There may only be two. 227 00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:30.130 You see? And they want you to think they're strong when they're not. 228 00:14:30.140 --> 00:14:31.890 Don't believe anything the devil says. 229 00:14:32.760 --> 00:14:35.190 I doubt that many of you have heard the devil talk. 230 00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.270 How many have heard a spirit of evil and the devil come up out of a person? 231 00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:41.470 How many? Well, that's more than I thought. 232 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:42.950 That is very interesting. 233 00:14:43.160 --> 00:14:46.950 You start dealing with people that are possessed and you'll hear it immediately. 234 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:49.830 You'll hear a woman's voice come out of a man's throat. 235 00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:52.950 And you'll hear a man's voice come out of a woman's throat. 236 00:14:53.050 --> 00:14:58.780 It's a strange thing. And then you'll hear various voices that are completely 237 00:14:58.790 --> 00:15:03.640 separated and different and distinct as they roar out of that person. 238 00:15:03.830 --> 00:15:05.660 And you know, you can stop everything. 239 00:15:05.670 --> 00:15:09.800 You can say, shut up, keep your mouth shut, and come out and say nothing and go. 240 00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:11.870 Because you're in command of it. 241 00:15:11.880 --> 00:15:15.870 You're in command of it and you can command it and it'll be just like you say. 242 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:19.690 How many are glad for that? I know that you are. 243 00:15:19.740 --> 00:15:20.740 All right. 244 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:27.040 And so, The Lord Jesus said there was such a thing as a reinforcement for these evil 245 00:15:27.050 --> 00:15:29.880 things when they come into a person. 246 00:15:30.150 --> 00:15:34.340 In Ephesians 2 and 2 it says, wherein in time past ye walked according to the course 247 00:15:34.350 --> 00:15:37.260 of this world, according to the prince and the power of the air. 248 00:15:38.030 --> 00:15:42.720 That's where these things usually go into when they are cast out of a person. 249 00:15:42.730 --> 00:15:45.820 The spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. 250 00:15:46.310 --> 00:15:49.340 The children of disobedience today are not just bad people. 251 00:15:49.350 --> 00:15:54.700 They're not just sinners. They're people that the power and the prince of the air is 252 00:15:54.710 --> 00:15:57.580 working inside of them. And God said so. You didn't say it. 253 00:15:57.630 --> 00:16:03.360 You didn't say it. But God said that in people that are in disobedience to God, 254 00:16:03.370 --> 00:16:04.820 that there's something working in them, 255 00:16:04.830 --> 00:16:07.060 and it's the prince of the power of the air that's doing it. 256 00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:09.320 And God said it, and you didn't have to say it. 257 00:16:09.410 --> 00:16:14.660 And number 10, God warns humans against these principalities and powers. 258 00:16:15.020 --> 00:16:19.030 And if God warns us, then we must understand that. 259 00:16:20.040 --> 00:16:24.590 Listen to what God says. Deuteronomy 18. You might want to write that down. 260 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:27.150 Deuteronomy 18, verses 9 through 11, please. 261 00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:31.110 It says, Now this is God talking to the children of Israel. 262 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:35.030 And you want to know that these evil spirits didn't just get here. 263 00:16:35.900 --> 00:16:39.070 They've been here ever since Satan lost heaven. 264 00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:44.230 He drew with him a third of the beautiful stars of God in the heavens. 265 00:16:44.300 --> 00:16:48.190 And he drew with them that host that used to sing praises around the throne. 266 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:51.450 And now they're all blasphemers. Every evil spirit is a blasphemer. 267 00:16:51.460 --> 00:16:53.410 There is not one that doesn't blaspheme. 268 00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:55.610 There is no evil spirit that doesn't blaspheme. 269 00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:59.370 And they were once the singers and the musicians of heaven. 270 00:16:59.380 --> 00:17:01.050 And they lost their place there. 271 00:17:01.060 --> 00:17:04.330 In Deuteronomy 18 and 9, when thou art coming to the land, God says, 272 00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:06.250 which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 273 00:17:06.320 --> 00:17:09.990 God gave them that land just like God gave us this land that we live in today. 274 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.470 Thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations. 275 00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:15.530 of those nations that are there. 276 00:17:16.080 --> 00:17:19.510 Now, neighbors, we're picking up the abominations from Africa. 277 00:17:19.780 --> 00:17:24.990 This witch doctor that we're going to tell you about very fully in a lesson or two 278 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:30.270 from here taught one of the top dancers in New York, and gives her name, 279 00:17:30.660 --> 00:17:34.890 one of the top dancers in New York, that he danced under the power of the devil, 280 00:17:34.900 --> 00:17:40.550 and when he was unconscious and didn't know what he was doing and was dancing 281 00:17:40.560 --> 00:17:41.630 naked, 282 00:17:42.360 --> 00:17:46.930 This woman from New York was standing up there learning every bit of it and 283 00:17:46.940 --> 00:17:52.830 capturing it on a tape and coming back to dance it before Americans in this country. 284 00:17:52.940 --> 00:17:56.550 And I looked at him and he gave her name and I said, do you mean that's true? 285 00:17:56.560 --> 00:17:59.120 He said, So help me, God. 286 00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:04.560 I have trained Americans to dance on the American stage when I was under the power 287 00:18:04.570 --> 00:18:08.760 of the devil and going through such gyrations that you couldn't imagine and stuff 288 00:18:08.770 --> 00:18:12.720 was flowing out of me and that I was unconscious at the time because I was under the 289 00:18:12.730 --> 00:18:16.820 power of the devil and they took it down on a tape and they took it back to America 290 00:18:16.830 --> 00:18:19.260 that they might dance, the dance of the devil. 291 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:24.390 Then you wonder what's wrong with some television when you look at people on there 292 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:27.410 and they look starry -eyed and they look as if they're in another world. 293 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.350 That whole mess came up out of hell through witchcraft. 294 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.130 And that's the stuff you don't want in your home. 295 00:18:34.280 --> 00:18:36.690 And immediately it started to turn it off quickly. 296 00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:39.950 He said, get out of my house. I don't permit you in here. 297 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.830 My house is cleaned by the blood of Jesus, and I refuse it, 298 00:18:42.840 --> 00:18:45.070 and I will not accept it. Can you say amen? 299 00:18:45.560 --> 00:18:49.830 All right. He says, thou shalt not learn as to the abominations of sinners. 300 00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:54.370 Thou shalt not be found among you any that maketh a son or daughter to pass through 301 00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:59.250 the fire. uh there was a time and there still is in the world today where men take 302 00:18:59.260 --> 00:19:04.950 their own children and and offer them up as a heathen religious ritual there still 303 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:08.550 is today on the face of this earth god said you shouldn't do that did you know that 304 00:19:08.560 --> 00:19:12.750 israel went and did it after all the things that god had done for it and the warning 305 00:19:12.760 --> 00:19:17.830 before they got in they still did it god said god said they did it and the bible 306 00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:22.230 says they did it all right you should not be of those that useth divination 307 00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:25.750 Now, divination is seeking supernatural guidance, 308 00:19:25.760 --> 00:19:30.530 and especially related to the future. And he said, you shall not seek divination. 309 00:19:30.540 --> 00:19:34.390 Look at the Americans today that every day are trying to find what to do today and 310 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.810 what to do tomorrow and what to do next week through all kinds of stuff from the 311 00:19:37.820 --> 00:19:38.820 Zodiac up. 312 00:19:39.820 --> 00:19:44.370 He said, you shouldn't use divination. God knows all about our tomorrows. 313 00:19:44.380 --> 00:19:45.810 We don't have to worry about them. 314 00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:49.930 We walk by faith. We don't walk by sight. 315 00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.650 We put our hand in the hand of God and walk straight into the future with our heads 316 00:19:54.660 --> 00:19:59.910 high singing the glory hallelujah chorus. If there is any such chorus by that name. 317 00:20:02.090 --> 00:20:05.040 He says you shouldn't use definition. Look at your number three there. 318 00:20:05.050 --> 00:20:09.200 You should not be an observer of the times and observe the times. 319 00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:13.790 It don't matter which one of the zodiac you were born under. 320 00:20:13.800 --> 00:20:17.550 There are no stars up there. They don't have any relationship to your destiny. 321 00:20:17.560 --> 00:20:18.560 They're dead. 322 00:20:20.250 --> 00:20:22.880 They're dead. The moon has nothing to do with you. 323 00:20:24.070 --> 00:20:26.540 Neither does Mars or anybody else up there. 324 00:20:26.790 --> 00:20:28.840 They don't have anything to do with your life. 325 00:20:29.130 --> 00:20:31.700 Only God has to do with your life. 326 00:20:31.830 --> 00:20:36.360 And the devil has to trick you into having something that really isn't there, 327 00:20:36.370 --> 00:20:41.150 you know. And then a spirit has to move in and to perform something for you. 328 00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:45.290 Are you here? All right. He says not to use devilish, 329 00:20:45.300 --> 00:20:49.930 not to be an observer of the time, not to be an enchanter, not to be a witch. 330 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.930 Now the Bible says so. Got thousands of them in this country right now. 331 00:20:53.990 --> 00:20:58.410 Not to be a charmer. That's verse 11. He says, I don't want you to be that. 332 00:20:58.420 --> 00:21:00.870 Not to be a consulter with familiar spirits. 333 00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:04.050 Think of the people going through seances in this land today. 334 00:21:04.660 --> 00:21:06.090 And I want to tell you something. 335 00:21:06.340 --> 00:21:11.220 If you think that you're going to speak to a deceased loved one 336 00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:15.860 through a seance, you have been seriously fooled. 337 00:21:16.150 --> 00:21:20.060 That is a devil doing the talking. And devils never die. 338 00:21:20.270 --> 00:21:22.380 And so they know exactly what to tell you. 339 00:21:23.110 --> 00:21:24.720 They've lived through so many generations. 340 00:21:24.730 --> 00:21:29.300 They can fool you. They can even intonate a kind of a voice that'll make you fooled. 341 00:21:29.490 --> 00:21:34.020 And no human being that ever leaves this planet comes back to do any talking. 342 00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:40.970 Not a consultor with familiar spirits or a wizard. 343 00:21:41.280 --> 00:21:43.590 We're going to go into these very specifically. 344 00:21:45.060 --> 00:21:48.670 Necromancer, or conjuring up the spirits of the dead, is what that is. 345 00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:53.990 In Deuteronomy 18, 9 through 12, for all that do these things are an abomination. 346 00:21:54.470 --> 00:21:59.560 Now, it don't matter what people think that are ahead of these cults. 347 00:21:59.570 --> 00:22:02.800 The Bible says they are an abomination to Jehovah. 348 00:22:02.870 --> 00:22:04.420 They are an abomination. 349 00:22:04.510 --> 00:22:10.240 And because of these abominations, the Lord thy God did drive them out from before 350 00:22:10.250 --> 00:22:13.240 thee. If you want the destruction of this country, 351 00:22:13.250 --> 00:22:15.340 you play with witchcraft and you'll get it. 352 00:22:15.590 --> 00:22:18.200 God hates the worship of devils. 353 00:22:18.760 --> 00:22:22.230 You hear me? God hates the worship of devils. 354 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.370 And if you want this country to be destroyed, 355 00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:26.310 play with witchcraft and you'll get it. 356 00:22:26.340 --> 00:22:29.490 It'll become a 10th rate nation and the devil will see to it. 357 00:22:29.780 --> 00:22:33.310 Point number 11, God warns humans against demon inspired leaders. 358 00:22:33.360 --> 00:22:37.570 The Bible has several names for humans who give themselves over to satanic works and 359 00:22:37.580 --> 00:22:38.910 operations and activities. 360 00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:44.730 False Christ or antichrist, imitators and pretenders who claim to be the Messiah. 361 00:22:45.390 --> 00:22:50.260 Such people live today. Jesus warned his followers not to be deceived by them. 362 00:22:51.070 --> 00:22:56.300 In Matthew 24 and 24, it says, For there shall arise false Christs and false 363 00:22:56.310 --> 00:22:59.860 prophets, and they shall show forth great signs and wonders, 364 00:22:59.870 --> 00:23:03.360 insomuch that if it were possible, they would deceive the very elect. 365 00:23:04.210 --> 00:23:07.260 That's God's chosen people. Can you imagine that? 366 00:23:07.270 --> 00:23:08.780 Deceive God's own chosen people. 367 00:23:08.930 --> 00:23:14.820 And then in Mark 13, 22 and 23, For there shall be false Christs, 368 00:23:14.830 --> 00:23:18.270 our Messiahs. And there shall be false prophets. 369 00:23:18.280 --> 00:23:20.730 They shall rise. They shall show signs and wonders. 370 00:23:20.820 --> 00:23:22.790 You can't believe stuff like that. 371 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:25.850 A guy doing a sign and a wonder doesn't mean he's right. 372 00:23:26.040 --> 00:23:28.410 He's only right if he's founded in the word of God. 373 00:23:28.870 --> 00:23:32.200 When a man comes to our city here and someone says then, 374 00:23:32.230 --> 00:23:33.980 he's praying for the sick and having miracles. 375 00:23:33.990 --> 00:23:36.920 I said, where's his wife? Oh, but I said he's doing miracles. 376 00:23:36.930 --> 00:23:40.060 I said, where's his wife? How many times have they been married? 377 00:23:40.740 --> 00:23:43.250 Did he pay his bills in the last time he went through? 378 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.250 I want to know something about him before I start going to see him. 379 00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:51.610 Everybody still here? If you're going to work on the basis of signs and miracles, 380 00:23:51.620 --> 00:23:53.130 the devil will help you right straight. 381 00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.990 But if you're going to work on the basis of cleanliness and holiness and purity, 382 00:23:58.140 --> 00:23:59.910 God is first a holy God. 383 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:05.670 And I'm going to work always on the basis of a man being upright with integrity and 384 00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.790 with a clean life before I accept anything else that he's done. 385 00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:11.870 And especially morally and spiritually. Can you say amen? 386 00:24:12.530 --> 00:24:14.460 And your point number two, false prophets. 387 00:24:14.600 --> 00:24:17.710 Any person claiming to possess a message from God, 388 00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.770 but not possessing a divine commission from God, 389 00:24:20.780 --> 00:24:25.110 nor displaying the genuine fruit of the Spirit, that person is a false prophet. 390 00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:29.830 And Matthew 7, 15 says, Beware of such false prophets which come to you in sheep's 391 00:24:29.840 --> 00:24:32.790 clothing. They come up dressed just like the rest of us, 392 00:24:32.800 --> 00:24:35.830 as if they belong to the family of God, because we are the sheep of the Lord. 393 00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:37.170 We are the lambs of the Lord. 394 00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:40.550 But inwardly, inwardly, outside there are sheep, 395 00:24:40.560 --> 00:24:43.680 but inside there are ravening wolves. They'll suck your blood. 396 00:24:43.690 --> 00:24:47.360 They'll destroy you spiritually. And many people are sucked into cults. 397 00:24:47.530 --> 00:24:50.280 Now those people are quoting about four or five verses out of the Bible. 398 00:24:50.290 --> 00:24:51.920 They say, oh, he's all right. He quotes the Bible. 399 00:24:51.930 --> 00:24:54.860 Well, so did the devil. But Jesus didn't believe it. 400 00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:57.170 He gave him the right translation. 401 00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:00.630 He still wants to give us the right translation. 402 00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:05.270 In Matthew 24, 11, it says, And there shall arise many false prophets, 403 00:25:05.280 --> 00:25:08.110 and they shall deceive many. This don't be among them. 404 00:25:08.120 --> 00:25:10.330 He says, And there shall be false teachers. 405 00:25:10.600 --> 00:25:12.890 Any person claiming to be a genuine teacher of God, 406 00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:15.030 but not possessing the divine commission of the Lord, 407 00:25:15.040 --> 00:25:18.890 nor displaying genuine fruit of the Spirit, is a false teacher. 408 00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:23.290 He says, And there shall be, they shall teach heresy, 2 Peter 2 and 1. 409 00:25:23.300 --> 00:25:26.010 There are false prophets also among the people, 410 00:25:26.020 --> 00:25:27.870 even as there shall be false teachers among you, 411 00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:31.730 who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, sneak it in. 412 00:25:31.760 --> 00:25:33.990 Even denying the Lord that bought them, 413 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.230 and bring upon themselves swift destruction, 414 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:38.530 and many shall follow their pernicious ways. 415 00:25:38.730 --> 00:25:40.700 Many. You see, that's what you don't like. 416 00:25:40.830 --> 00:25:44.540 By reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. 417 00:25:44.550 --> 00:25:47.160 You say, I believe the whole Bible. You say, oh, you can't do that. 418 00:25:47.170 --> 00:25:48.640 I had a private revelation. 419 00:25:49.150 --> 00:25:53.700 Most of our world today that's having its problems is working on the business of a 420 00:25:53.710 --> 00:25:56.920 private revelation. And that's not where we're going to work at all. 421 00:25:56.930 --> 00:25:59.340 Can you say amen? All right. 422 00:25:59.510 --> 00:26:03.380 On the bottom of page 14, they are rebellious. 423 00:26:03.390 --> 00:26:06.520 Chief of them that walk after the flesh and the lust of uncleanness. 424 00:26:06.530 --> 00:26:08.180 And they despise government. 425 00:26:08.360 --> 00:26:11.470 They don't pay any attention to our pastor, our elders, or anything else. 426 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.090 They despise. They're presumptuous. They are self -willed. 427 00:26:15.100 --> 00:26:17.750 And they're not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries. 428 00:26:18.260 --> 00:26:21.230 Uh -huh. That's the way you know who those people are. 429 00:26:21.320 --> 00:26:24.490 And when you see all of those things, you say, listen, Lord, 430 00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:27.990 I want to be delivered from that type of thing in Jesus' name. 431 00:26:28.040 --> 00:26:32.630 You and I, at the bottom of page 16, point number 12, 432 00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:35.830 we are not deceived by these principalities and powers. 433 00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:37.710 Revelation 16 and 14. 434 00:26:38.610 --> 00:26:41.320 It says, for they are the spirits of devils working miracles, 435 00:26:41.330 --> 00:26:45.280 which go forth unto the kings, that's the rulers and the leaders of the earth, 436 00:26:45.490 --> 00:26:49.500 and of the whole world. Now listen to it. 437 00:26:50.030 --> 00:26:54.700 Of the earth and the whole world. That doesn't leave anybody out. 438 00:26:54.710 --> 00:26:58.220 And what are they going to ultimately do? Isn't that a mighty verse of scripture? 439 00:26:58.270 --> 00:27:03.360 They're going to ultimately drag the whole world to the battle of that great day of 440 00:27:03.370 --> 00:27:07.380 God Almighty, which is the last battle ever to be fought. 441 00:27:07.410 --> 00:27:08.640 on the face of this earth
