In these deliberate studies of principalities and powers, 3 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:19.330 we will be exposing the occult, revealing knowledge of the doctrines, words, 4 00:00:19.340 --> 00:00:23.350 rites, eulogies, phrases, and definitions that demon worshippers use. 5 00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:27.770 The only intelligent way to interpret our times is to present a biblical 6 00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:32.290 interpretation. Jesus prophesied that his church shall prevail. 7 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.470 In Matthew 16, verse 18, he said, 8 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.230 Upon this rock I will build my church, 9 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:41.550 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 10 00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:46.470 Today, the church must rise up to the greatest action of its entire history. 11 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:59.030 Welcome, everybody. It's beautiful to see you and to feel the eagerness that you 12 00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:01.010 have to understand the Word of God. 13 00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:04.410 Really, there's nothing so exciting as God's Word. 14 00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:10.490 I honestly read the Word of the Lord today just like I did when I was a child. 15 00:01:10.980 --> 00:01:13.890 It's just that gripping and that exciting. 16 00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:17.750 And in the beginning of my ministry, when the Word of God was truly exciting, 17 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:21.050 it's just as exciting or maybe more exciting right now. 18 00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:23.750 I read portions of it as if I've never read it before. 19 00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.970 And the Lord only knows how many times we've read it before. 20 00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:29.830 But the Word of God is living. It's living. 21 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.270 And it's powerful. And how glad we are to be part of it. 22 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.370 In this World Harvest School of Continuous Learning, 23 00:01:36.380 --> 00:01:39.910 we have been studying principalities and powers. 24 00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:42.790 And as we've been studying these lessons, 25 00:01:42.820 --> 00:01:47.670 you have written down questions that you would like to hear a little more about. 26 00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.110 And I'm ready now to read some of those questions and to speak 27 00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:58.830 regarding them. Number one, how can you tell if a person is mentally 28 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.910 ill or demon -possessed? 29 00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:10.190 When a person is mentally ill, normally there is no belligerent spirit 30 00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:15.530 there. I've met very, very docile people who are mentally ill. 31 00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:20.550 And sometimes they just sit and grin and smile. 32 00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:24.910 And their illness is just that they have a very low IQ. 33 00:02:25.220 --> 00:02:29.570 But sometimes a person becomes mentally ill, 34 00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:32.410 and through the weakness of the devil, 35 00:02:32.420 --> 00:02:38.550 he enters into that weakness and puts a very angry spirit on the inside of them. 36 00:02:38.660 --> 00:02:41.610 And only those that are around that person can keep them free. 37 00:02:41.640 --> 00:02:45.150 When one can't keep himself free, his family can keep him free, 38 00:02:45.160 --> 00:02:48.890 and his friends can keep him free. But the devil is very wicked. 39 00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:52.390 He moves into every weakness, any weakness any human has, 40 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.370 the devil moves into that weakness. 41 00:02:55.380 --> 00:02:59.970 But there are those who have a very low IQ, or they're mentally ill, 42 00:02:59.980 --> 00:03:06.030 and there's no effects and no signs of the devil functioning, 43 00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:10.510 operating in them. And when there is, even though that person, well, 44 00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:12.730 that person can be healed. 45 00:03:13.540 --> 00:03:15.650 They don't have to stay that way all their life. 46 00:03:15.660 --> 00:03:21.870 God can heal that condition just like He can heal a physical condition. 47 00:03:22.100 --> 00:03:25.090 You've got to believe that. God can do all things. 48 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:29.010 He can heal insanity just as well as He can heal anything else. 49 00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:30.790 How many believe that? Yeah. 50 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.990 So we believe God for any kind of a healing that is needed in a person's life. 51 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.930 Number two, Does Satan have knowledge of the future? 52 00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:44.390 No, he does not. He does not have knowledge of the future. 53 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.890 He only knows what he hears, what he hears. 54 00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:53.710 And if he hears of things that are to be, then he can reiterate those things. 55 00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:59.670 But he has, only God, only God has the reservoir of 56 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:03.590 knowledge of knowing exactly what's going to take place in the universe. 57 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.910 And only God. And if God communicates it to you, then you are a prophet. 58 00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:12.750 And you speak of the thing unborn and the thing that will certainly come to pass. 59 00:04:12.760 --> 00:04:16.770 But in the devil's business, he can guess and he can lie. 60 00:04:16.780 --> 00:04:22.490 But he doesn't know because he has no beginning of knowledge within him 61 00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:24.330 like the Most High God has. 62 00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:27.750 And so, therefore, the devil has no knowledge of the future. 63 00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:30.610 He can fool you by guessing the future. 64 00:04:31.380 --> 00:04:35.130 Sometimes he hears things, and he hears the prophets of God speaking. 65 00:04:35.140 --> 00:04:38.110 He hears it, and so he reiterates it. He's a mockingbird. 66 00:04:39.460 --> 00:04:45.010 Number three, can a person cast a devil out of someone who doesn't know that his 67 00:04:45.020 --> 00:04:49.050 problem is demonic? I doubt it. I doubt it. 68 00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:51.330 And I have a word from you. 69 00:04:52.100 --> 00:04:55.230 I've never known of a person that was demon -possessed before they knew it. 70 00:04:55.380 --> 00:04:57.330 They may lie about it, but they know it. 71 00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:01.970 Don't tell me anyone is completely abnormal, moved by a power that's not their own. 72 00:05:02.060 --> 00:05:04.810 doing things that they don't want to do and don't know it, 73 00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:10.450 you see. And so there isn't any such thing as a person 74 00:05:10.460 --> 00:05:13.990 not knowing when he is possessed. They do know it. 75 00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:17.370 And when they say they don't know it, you talk to them a little while and stir it up 76 00:05:17.380 --> 00:05:19.070 and you'll find out they know it pretty well. 77 00:05:19.380 --> 00:05:22.790 And so it's a question that can easily be answered. 78 00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.070 They do know it. If they do not want to be free, 79 00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:28.810 you cannot go against their will because even God won't do that. 80 00:05:29.090 --> 00:05:32.520 God will not do it. You can serve whoever you want to serve and you can go to heaven 81 00:05:32.530 --> 00:05:34.440 or hell or wherever you want to go. 82 00:05:34.550 --> 00:05:39.320 God made your will sovereign to where he will not transgress against it and you have 83 00:05:39.330 --> 00:05:41.060 to decide where you want to go. 84 00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:47.690 Number four, should you cast a spirit out of a person who 85 00:05:47.700 --> 00:05:49.010 doesn't want to be delivered? 86 00:05:49.710 --> 00:05:53.700 Well, no, you shouldn't for the simple reason he'll be right back in a few moments 87 00:05:53.710 --> 00:05:57.840 later, a few hours later. He'll come right back. 88 00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:01.130 He wants to stay there. He likes to stay there. 89 00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:05.330 And so if you cast him out against that person's will, he wants him back, 90 00:06:05.340 --> 00:06:06.510 so he'll have him back. 91 00:06:06.940 --> 00:06:11.690 And I'll give you a very remarkable case of this. 92 00:06:11.700 --> 00:06:15.470 I was in the Philippines, and they brought a child to me, 93 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.970 and I didn't inquire who the man was. He looked like his father. 94 00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:20.210 I thought it was his father. 95 00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:24.750 He brought this child to me in the Tai Tai Methodist Church where I was ministering. 96 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.050 And the child had never spoken a word in his life and had never heard anything. 97 00:06:29.380 --> 00:06:33.450 And so I laid hands upon him and I said to the deaf spirit to come out of him. 98 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.170 And I said to the dumb spirit to come out of him. 99 00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:40.110 And then I snapped my finger and I said, do you hear? 100 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.870 And he said, yes. And all right, I took him this way and I said, Jesus. 101 00:06:44.960 --> 00:06:49.170 And he said, Jesus. And that was the first word he'd ever said in his life. 102 00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:51.950 It was Jesus. That's a pretty good word to say. 103 00:06:52.470 --> 00:06:55.660 And then I pronounced his name, and he pronounced his name. 104 00:06:55.670 --> 00:06:58.840 And he went through 10 or 12 words that he spoke. 105 00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:02.660 So I told the man that was with him, I said, now, he's like a baby, 106 00:07:02.750 --> 00:07:06.940 8 or 10 months old, although he looked like he was 12 or 13 years old. 107 00:07:06.950 --> 00:07:08.940 And I said, you will have to teach him. 108 00:07:08.990 --> 00:07:13.640 But I said, now he can hear what you're saying, and he can enunciate words. 109 00:07:13.650 --> 00:07:17.060 But he has to go to school, teach him. And they walked away. 110 00:07:17.470 --> 00:07:18.620 I forgot it. 111 00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:23.250 Except two months later, I was back speaking in the Tai Tai Methodist Church again, 112 00:07:23.260 --> 00:07:27.810 and in the long healing line that was coming up, here came a man with a little boy. 113 00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:30.270 And I said, hey, I've seen you before. 114 00:07:30.950 --> 00:07:34.520 He said, yes. Well, I said, what you leading that boy up here for? 115 00:07:34.530 --> 00:07:38.340 Oh, he says, he's deaf and dumb. But I said, I prayed for him, and he was free. 116 00:07:38.830 --> 00:07:42.020 And you should have heard the story. He says, I'm not one of his parents. 117 00:07:42.030 --> 00:07:45.440 I'm a neighbor. And I feel sorry for him because I'm a neighbor. 118 00:07:45.610 --> 00:07:49.700 But he says, when he went back home, His parents were angry that I had brought him 119 00:07:49.710 --> 00:07:51.220 here to this place. 120 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.210 And the mother was so angry, she wouldn't feed him. 121 00:07:55.970 --> 00:08:01.740 And when he would make these sounds that nobody was teaching him, 122 00:08:01.750 --> 00:08:06.740 she would mock him and say the same thing and laugh because he couldn't say things 123 00:08:06.750 --> 00:08:07.750 plain. 124 00:08:07.940 --> 00:08:13.690 And this went on, he said, for exactly three weeks and said suddenly 125 00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:17.920 in his mother's presence, his ears locked, his tongue locked. 126 00:08:17.930 --> 00:08:21.390 He couldn't hear a thing, and he couldn't say a word. 127 00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:23.710 He said, we have brought him back now for deliverance. 128 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.330 And I said, no, you bring his parents over here. 129 00:08:26.910 --> 00:08:30.520 Yeah. I said, I can get him delivered. He don't have to be here. 130 00:08:30.530 --> 00:08:34.340 Let me set his parents free, and he'll be all right after that. 131 00:08:34.650 --> 00:08:36.980 Now, you've got to know relationships. 132 00:08:37.350 --> 00:08:41.340 You've got to know relationships, and it's a great thing to know. 133 00:08:41.420 --> 00:08:45.070 So you can't cast a spirit out of a person that's under another person, 134 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.130 like a little child, because the parents will bring it back on that child. 135 00:08:48.140 --> 00:08:50.870 It's happened in this city right here where we are. 136 00:08:51.400 --> 00:08:56.170 Number five, can a person inherit a curse that was placed on his family in a 137 00:08:56.180 --> 00:09:00.230 previous generation only if he's a sinner and he believes in it? 138 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.790 I have met people that were now Christians that says, oh, I'm cursed. 139 00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:10.790 I'm cursed through my parents. I said, no, you're not. 140 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:15.020 That's a devil's lie. And I command you never to believe it again, 141 00:09:15.030 --> 00:09:17.020 never to accept it again, and you're free right now, 142 00:09:17.030 --> 00:09:18.980 and you shout praise the Lord in a hurry 143 00:09:19.590 --> 00:09:23.740 that that thing is not possible. We don't bear the curses of anybody. 144 00:09:23.750 --> 00:09:26.160 We bear the blessings of the Most High God. 145 00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.770 But now there are people on the mission fields, 146 00:09:32.780 --> 00:09:34.590 and maybe they're getting to be in this country too, 147 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:39.000 where they go back for generations. My grandfather was a Satanist. 148 00:09:39.010 --> 00:09:41.420 My father was a Satanist. I am a Satanist. 149 00:09:41.430 --> 00:09:42.720 My son will be a Satanist. 150 00:09:42.730 --> 00:09:45.820 And so many things have happened generation after generation in our family, 151 00:09:45.830 --> 00:09:47.400 and it will always happen. 152 00:09:47.410 --> 00:09:51.040 Well, it will happen if you're all sinners, and if you want it that way. 153 00:09:51.050 --> 00:09:56.000 The man I spoke to you about in Java had already promised his seven spirits to his 154 00:09:56.010 --> 00:10:01.410 own son, and the son was ready for them. He was about 17 years of age at that time. 155 00:10:01.420 --> 00:10:05.890 He says, when my father dies, these will be my spirits, and I will control them, 156 00:10:05.900 --> 00:10:10.010 and they'll obey me. It's a bit of pride when you've got seven entities that can go 157 00:10:10.020 --> 00:10:14.630 out and do things for you, and you find out that they are actually done. 158 00:10:15.270 --> 00:10:17.540 So, you cannot inherit a curse. 159 00:10:17.930 --> 00:10:22.340 And if you are a sinner and come to know the Lord, you can break that curse. 160 00:10:22.390 --> 00:10:24.840 You don't have to live under a curse in a family. 161 00:10:24.850 --> 00:10:26.220 And all the people said, 162 00:10:27.380 --> 00:10:32.130 number six. Is an owl a charm of the devil? 163 00:10:32.540 --> 00:10:38.490 Now, I've heard people say that, and the only time it's mentioned in the Bible as a 164 00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:43.570 creature, it's not mentioned in a delectable way or a beautiful way or a lovely way. 165 00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:47.250 Actually, I don't know. 166 00:10:48.420 --> 00:10:52.990 I lived down south where there were a lot of owls, and they never hurt anybody. 167 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:57.850 They made funny noises late at night, but they're a night creature. 168 00:10:59.690 --> 00:11:02.940 But I can't believe that every owl has a devil in it. 169 00:11:02.950 --> 00:11:06.120 I can't go for that. I can't go for that. 170 00:11:07.020 --> 00:11:11.170 But some people have a real feeling against owls. 171 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:16.330 Maybe it's their big eyes. I don't know. But you don't have to worry about owls. 172 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:17.830 Aren't you glad for that? 173 00:11:19.790 --> 00:11:23.720 The seventh question, does Satan have control over the weather? 174 00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:28.310 I think that there could be times 175 00:11:29.630 --> 00:11:32.280 when Satan could cause a storm. 176 00:11:32.350 --> 00:11:36.560 I think Satan caused a storm when the disciples found their boat swamped with water. 177 00:11:37.060 --> 00:11:40.310 When they got into that boat, the weather seemed to be all right. 178 00:11:40.380 --> 00:11:43.610 And before they got across the little Sea of Galilee, it was all bad. 179 00:11:44.020 --> 00:11:49.990 And so I think that Satan could influence the 180 00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.990 weather somewhat. But I know one thing. When Jesus spoke to the weather, it obeyed. 181 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:56.890 You see? That's what I like. 182 00:11:57.580 --> 00:12:00.930 He might mess it up, but we can re -mess it, you see. 183 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:06.410 Yeah, and so God has power over all things, including the weather. 184 00:12:06.990 --> 00:12:12.060 And so I think we have a perfect right to ask God for the right kind of weather. 185 00:12:12.930 --> 00:12:18.020 We were with Prime Minister Begin last week, a week before last, 186 00:12:18.030 --> 00:12:23.960 and the Prime Minister told the small party that was in his office there, 187 00:12:23.970 --> 00:12:28.460 he said, When we had the Holy of Holies in this city, 188 00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:33.150 and the presence of the Most High was in the Holy of Holies, 189 00:12:33.300 --> 00:12:39.070 that one time a year, the high priest went into the holy place and said, 190 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.650 the first thing he said in the holy place was, Most Holy, 191 00:12:42.700 --> 00:12:45.450 do not answer the prayer of the wanderers. 192 00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:50.820 Answer our prayers. And he looked at us and said, You are the wanderers. 193 00:12:50.830 --> 00:12:53.600 And he says, You're not going to get your prayers answered here. 194 00:12:53.910 --> 00:12:58.890 You're wanting the sun to shine. And we're wanting it to rain, and we're winning. 195 00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:03.160 We stayed in Israel a week, and I think it rained all the time we were there. 196 00:13:04.190 --> 00:13:07.660 And it didn't rain gently, brother. It knocked you down. 197 00:13:07.790 --> 00:13:10.480 I mean, it was a sweeping down rain. 198 00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:16.300 And he said that they needed it so badly, so terribly badly for their harvest. 199 00:13:16.310 --> 00:13:19.740 He says, don't you go around here saying, oh, Lord, let it stop raining. 200 00:13:19.750 --> 00:13:21.380 He says, our prayer comes first. 201 00:13:22.870 --> 00:13:25.220 Don't answer the prayer of the wanderers. 202 00:13:25.230 --> 00:13:29.500 Answer our prayers in here and send our rain. 203 00:13:29.650 --> 00:13:32.900 I am sure the Lord has sent rain in places. 204 00:13:33.310 --> 00:13:38.720 Really, I think the great harvests of the world are in places where people pray. 205 00:13:39.140 --> 00:13:44.550 The great harvests of the world are in Canada and the United States and Australia 206 00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:48.450 and New Zealand. That's where the great harvests of the world are today. 207 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:53.390 And the place where they are not having any rain are the places where they worship 208 00:13:53.400 --> 00:13:59.310 the devil. In Africa and in Russia and in China where they're not worshiping God. 209 00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:01.270 That's where they're having their problems. 210 00:14:01.280 --> 00:14:03.750 I think the weather would get better if it served Jesus. 211 00:14:07.630 --> 00:14:11.600 Question number eight says, can you cast out demons over the telephone? 212 00:14:15.380 --> 00:14:17.590 The Roman 213 00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:23.350 centurion said to the Lord Jesus, he said, you don't need to come. 214 00:14:23.460 --> 00:14:25.050 to perform the miracle at my house. 215 00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:29.010 You can speak the word and my servant will be healed. 216 00:14:29.410 --> 00:14:35.500 I do not think you need to be physically in a place for a person to be healed. 217 00:14:35.710 --> 00:14:38.520 Otherwise, all the folks I'm praying for on television, 218 00:14:38.530 --> 00:14:42.500 they may not get healed, you see. 219 00:14:43.150 --> 00:14:47.680 I believe that you can speak the word and God can deliver that word. 220 00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:50.740 I don't think time nor space. 221 00:14:50.940 --> 00:14:54.170 has a relative force with prayer. 222 00:14:54.220 --> 00:15:00.110 That prayer pervades time or space and can move irrespective of 223 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:05.030 time and irrespective of space. And so when you pray, it'll work. 224 00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:09.170 Whether it's in China or whether it's in New York City or wherever it might be. 225 00:15:09.180 --> 00:15:13.630 And whether it goes by telephone or whether it goes by television or whether it goes 226 00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:19.040 by tele -lady. I believe it'll work. You'll forgive me, won't you? 227 00:15:19.570 --> 00:15:20.570 Now, 228 00:15:22.540 --> 00:15:27.870 The next question says, do the facial features of a demon -possessed person change 229 00:15:27.880 --> 00:15:30.630 when he is delivered? They most certainly do. 230 00:15:30.760 --> 00:15:35.710 They most certainly do. When a person is delivered of the power of the devil, 231 00:15:35.720 --> 00:15:37.310 his body changes. 232 00:15:37.900 --> 00:15:40.730 You want to know something? He walks different. 233 00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:43.230 A demon -possessed person cannot walk normally. 234 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:45.150 It is not possible for him to. 235 00:15:45.470 --> 00:15:50.620 And he can't move his bodily parts correctly. 236 00:15:50.630 --> 00:15:55.210 He's out of rhythm. He just doesn't move them the same. 237 00:15:55.380 --> 00:15:59.450 And then, of course, the greatest expression is in the eyes, in the mouth, 238 00:15:59.460 --> 00:16:03.390 and in the face. And they change dramatically at the time of deliverance. 239 00:16:03.400 --> 00:16:08.930 We've seen it so many times. When a smile comes across their face, it's heavenly. 240 00:16:09.400 --> 00:16:14.310 And when those muscles that are so tense in here relax, it's beautiful. 241 00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:18.790 And when the eyes, which is the most evident part of a possessed person, 242 00:16:18.800 --> 00:16:22.320 when they become calm and clean and pure, It's beautiful. 243 00:16:22.330 --> 00:16:25.760 It's beautiful. So not only is their spirit cleansed, 244 00:16:25.770 --> 00:16:31.740 but they do have a removal of any facial features 245 00:16:31.750 --> 00:16:35.880 that the devil has distorted that's gone, and they're delivered by God's power. 246 00:16:36.580 --> 00:16:37.590 Number 10, 247 00:16:38.260 --> 00:16:44.290 did God have foreknowledge that Lucifer would start a rebellion in heaven? 248 00:16:48.350 --> 00:16:51.740 There are things that if we don't leave with God, 249 00:16:51.750 --> 00:16:53.620 we're going to have a hard time with. 250 00:16:54.930 --> 00:16:56.740 God does have foreknowledge, 251 00:16:57.850 --> 00:17:02.320 but God does not have a foreknowledge that compels you to do a certain thing, 252 00:17:02.330 --> 00:17:03.520 you see. 253 00:17:04.510 --> 00:17:08.940 Now, see, there's a line there that is so fine until it's very difficult. 254 00:17:09.770 --> 00:17:13.160 You did not have to come here tonight, yet God knew you'd be here. 255 00:17:14.590 --> 00:17:18.510 If you'd have stayed home, God would have known you'd have stayed home, you see. 256 00:17:18.580 --> 00:17:23.250 And so there's a fine line there, and you must accept it. 257 00:17:23.260 --> 00:17:26.650 Now, you say, why did the devil sin? 258 00:17:27.170 --> 00:17:32.420 when he was in heaven for this reason. The Bible says God is love. 259 00:17:32.950 --> 00:17:35.920 Now, love is not love when it doesn't give. 260 00:17:36.460 --> 00:17:39.250 And love is not love when it doesn't receive. 261 00:17:39.420 --> 00:17:42.510 You can't go love a telephone post, you see, 262 00:17:42.780 --> 00:17:45.710 because it has nothing to give back, you see. 263 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:50.990 It has nothing to return. And so God had to make creatures that could return what he 264 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.000 is. 265 00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:57.430 Now, the same thing within you that loves is the same thing that hates. 266 00:17:57.760 --> 00:18:02.830 You see? That thing down there that loves is the same thing gone negative that 267 00:18:02.840 --> 00:18:07.260 hates. Now, God had to take that chance. Well, you do too. 268 00:18:07.510 --> 00:18:11.180 When you have a little baby at your house, it's a very beautiful little baby. 269 00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:14.540 But that little baby can pull a trigger one day and shoot you. 270 00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:19.170 That's right. That little baby someday can disgrace you. 271 00:18:19.510 --> 00:18:22.800 That little baby someday can burn down your house and it's there in ashes. 272 00:18:22.930 --> 00:18:24.840 You've got to take a chance on that. 273 00:18:24.890 --> 00:18:30.720 but we do take a chance because we believe they're going to respond with love and 274 00:18:30.730 --> 00:18:36.300 so god makes us because he's believing in our response that we're going to love him 275 00:18:36.310 --> 00:18:42.220 he is love he wants to plant his love within us for we will be love and in 276 00:18:42.230 --> 00:18:48.060 heaven we will be total love that's going to be great we're going to be total 277 00:18:48.070 --> 00:18:52.710 love like god is total love we will be total love in heaven Now, 278 00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:55.290 you could come up against an unanswerable question. 279 00:18:55.300 --> 00:18:57.930 In all of eternity will someone sin. 280 00:18:59.260 --> 00:19:03.910 I've got good news for you. Maybe it is good news. 281 00:19:04.820 --> 00:19:07.970 Anybody that wants to leave heaven will have the right to do so. 282 00:19:08.540 --> 00:19:09.930 Otherwise, you'd be a prisoner. 283 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:12.870 And when you're a prisoner, that's not love. 284 00:19:13.410 --> 00:19:16.080 If you lock your wife in a room and say you can't come out all day, 285 00:19:16.090 --> 00:19:17.500 she don't believe in your love. 286 00:19:17.510 --> 00:19:20.480 She might have wanted to stay in that room, but because you made her stay in, 287 00:19:20.490 --> 00:19:21.680 she don't like it. 288 00:19:23.030 --> 00:19:24.280 And I don't blame her. 289 00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:28.070 I hope that helps you some. 290 00:19:32.590 --> 00:19:36.120 Why did God cast Lucifer to the earth? 291 00:19:36.190 --> 00:19:39.260 He did not cast him to the earth at that time. 292 00:19:39.270 --> 00:19:45.420 He will be in the great tribulation. He became the prince and the power of the air. 293 00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:51.570 I've been reading a book that is the most remarkable book related to demon power 294 00:19:51.580 --> 00:19:56.110 that I've ever read about a Baptist preacher down south. 295 00:19:56.300 --> 00:19:59.790 And through, he died. 296 00:20:00.230 --> 00:20:05.640 And in this death thing, he was taken from the earth through to the third heaven. 297 00:20:05.650 --> 00:20:08.400 And he saw all the fallen angels. 298 00:20:08.570 --> 00:20:12.100 And he says the second heaven is all around us here. 299 00:20:12.110 --> 00:20:15.600 It's all around us. You don't go anywhere to get into it. 300 00:20:15.610 --> 00:20:17.480 It is all around us here. 301 00:20:17.490 --> 00:20:22.740 And the third heaven, you have to go through this second heaven to get into it. 302 00:20:22.750 --> 00:20:28.930 And it's some of the most remarkable things that he is describing. 303 00:20:29.090 --> 00:20:31.560 in this situation. 304 00:20:31.710 --> 00:20:36.280 But the power of Satan today is mainly that in the upper 305 00:20:36.290 --> 00:20:41.340 radius of air above us. He is the prince, the power of the air. 306 00:20:41.430 --> 00:20:45.720 He can go into the throne room of God. He is the accuser of the brethren. 307 00:20:45.850 --> 00:20:48.080 He can walk upon the face of this earth, 308 00:20:48.090 --> 00:20:51.940 but his throne at this moment is in the heavens. 309 00:20:52.010 --> 00:20:54.720 During the great tribulation, he will remove it to the earth. 310 00:20:54.730 --> 00:20:58.920 And the Bible says that woe be under the inhabitants of the earth. 311 00:20:58.930 --> 00:21:02.480 because he has actually placed his throne upon the earth. 312 00:21:02.490 --> 00:21:06.260 He has a hard time doing that today because there's so much Jesus here. 313 00:21:07.130 --> 00:21:10.320 There are millions of praying people that resist him all the time. 314 00:21:10.330 --> 00:21:13.500 He has a very uncomfortable time when he even visits down here. 315 00:21:13.710 --> 00:21:17.560 And we intend to make it more uncomfortable as long as the church is on the face of 316 00:21:17.570 --> 00:21:20.120 the earth, that the earth here belongs to God, 317 00:21:20.130 --> 00:21:23.960 and that we are the people of God and we have a right to rule the earth. 318 00:21:23.970 --> 00:21:28.600 We're going to take it all away from him. In Jesus' name, as long as we are here. 319 00:21:29.970 --> 00:21:33.140 Ask why he wasn't sent directly into hell. 320 00:21:35.160 --> 00:21:39.470 He will go to hell. Now, God doesn't think of things like we do. 321 00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:45.590 He will go to hell. And all people that are rebellious against God will go 322 00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:46.750 to hell, of course. 323 00:21:46.760 --> 00:21:51.890 But his moment of incarceration has not yet come. 324 00:21:51.900 --> 00:21:54.990 He is free at this moment. He is not in hell. 325 00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:59.550 And as to why God didn't put him there directly, I would not be able to tell you. 326 00:21:59.890 --> 00:22:02.900 I have read of cases, this is number 12, 327 00:22:03.050 --> 00:22:08.160 I have read of cases where evangelists have actually physically wrestled with demon 328 00:22:08.170 --> 00:22:09.240 -possessed persons. 329 00:22:10.410 --> 00:22:15.950 Why did simply commanding the devil to be still 330 00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:21.650 and not stop the person, is it proper to physically wrestle if the simple 331 00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:26.800 command doesn't work? It does work. It does work. 332 00:22:28.360 --> 00:22:32.990 The devil seeks manifestation. His whole being is seeking manifestation. 333 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:37.890 So if you will say, how many are there? Oh, he'll talk to you. 334 00:22:37.900 --> 00:22:41.330 He won't tell you the truth. There might only be four, and he'd say 400. 335 00:22:41.340 --> 00:22:44.650 So if you start believing him, you'd be way off track. 336 00:22:45.110 --> 00:22:46.580 And if you say, what's your name? 337 00:22:46.590 --> 00:22:49.360 He can cook up some of the funniest names you ever heard in the world. 338 00:22:50.190 --> 00:22:53.220 And so if you're going to have a communication with him, remember, 339 00:22:53.230 --> 00:22:57.320 you're talking not only to a liar, you're talking to the father of all lies. 340 00:22:58.070 --> 00:22:59.820 So I don't communicate with him. 341 00:23:00.150 --> 00:23:02.260 Now, seeing that he is a spirit, 342 00:23:02.270 --> 00:23:04.460 in this book I was telling you about, 343 00:23:04.610 --> 00:23:09.790 this man in the spirit world saw how a person could 344 00:23:09.800 --> 00:23:13.570 become possessed. 345 00:23:13.580 --> 00:23:19.430 And I was so absorbed with it when he noted it 346 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.240 there. He said that there were a boy and a girl talking together at a table, 347 00:23:23.250 --> 00:23:27.840 and that their intimacy went so close together. 348 00:23:28.060 --> 00:23:33.530 that a spirit of adultery came in and he saw this adulterous spirit 349 00:23:33.540 --> 00:23:37.670 move through his skin and inside of him. 350 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:40.750 He said, I saw it in the spirit world. 351 00:23:40.780 --> 00:23:46.710 When you open up your insides to unclean things and to evil things, 352 00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:49.470 the devil has a right to enter in and he just goes right straight in. 353 00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.370 Now, he can go out the same way. He doesn't need any manifestation. 354 00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:55.090 He doesn't need any choking. He doesn't need any wrestling. 355 00:23:55.100 --> 00:23:59.090 You just say, I command you to be quiet. to be still and to get out. 356 00:23:59.100 --> 00:24:01.710 And he has to obey. If you're glad for it, say amen. 357 00:24:02.580 --> 00:24:05.750 If you are around a demon -possessed person, 358 00:24:05.760 --> 00:24:08.870 can you cast out the spirit at any time? 359 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.270 Or should you wait until the demon manifests itself? 360 00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:17.590 Normally, you cannot exercise a spirit until it manifests. 361 00:24:18.050 --> 00:24:22.940 But if you mention Jesus and the power of Jesus and the blood of Jesus, 362 00:24:23.010 --> 00:24:25.640 he'll manifest immediately. Yeah. 363 00:24:25.760 --> 00:24:29.430 So all you've got to do is start talking about how great Jesus is and how wonderful 364 00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:31.230 He is and what a mighty deliverer He is, 365 00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:33.550 and you've got manifestation coming right quick. 366 00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:35.000 Right quick. 367 00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:41.590 All right. Is it possible that a person who was in the occult before he became a 368 00:24:41.600 --> 00:24:45.730 Christian to still have the spirits of those cults with him after he's saved? 369 00:24:46.560 --> 00:24:49.490 Those spirits will linger close by, 370 00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:53.930 and you may be able to see them close by. 371 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:55.890 You may be able to feel their presence close by. 372 00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:59.490 And that's when you come real strong with the blood of Jesus Christ saying, 373 00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:02.030 I command you to go. I command you to go far away. 374 00:25:02.040 --> 00:25:05.310 I command you to go now. You cannot have any relationship with me. 375 00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:07.630 You cannot get close to me. You cannot speak to me. 376 00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.890 I cut off all relationship with you, and you must stay gone. 377 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:16.030 And that's the victory. That is the total victory, and God wants you to have it. 378 00:25:16.040 --> 00:25:21.930 The little girl, Clarita Villanueva, for a few weeks saw that thing that possessed 379 00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:24.240 her. at a distance from her. 380 00:25:24.370 --> 00:25:28.020 And it would frighten her almost out of her wits every time she'd see him. 381 00:25:28.030 --> 00:25:33.960 And I was always close by because we took her to church every night during those 382 00:25:33.970 --> 00:25:38.180 times. And so I would even, in the midst of my sermon, 383 00:25:38.190 --> 00:25:39.680 go back and lay hands on her and pray for her. 384 00:25:39.690 --> 00:25:42.040 Just stop my sermon, tell the people, sing a chorus, 385 00:25:42.050 --> 00:25:45.440 and go back and lay hands on her again to keep her free from that thing. 386 00:25:45.650 --> 00:25:49.180 The devil doesn't want to leave people. You have to make him leave. 387 00:25:49.230 --> 00:25:53.880 But you have the authority to say, I command you to go in every form whatsoever and 388 00:25:53.890 --> 00:25:55.340 not be close to me at all. 389 00:25:55.530 --> 00:26:01.520 Number 15, how can you tell when a person's problems are demonic and when they are 390 00:26:01.530 --> 00:26:04.700 just natural problems of sin? 391 00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:11.330 One must be careful not to call all evil demon power because that's not true. 392 00:26:11.380 --> 00:26:13.230 They're lusts of the flesh, you know. 393 00:26:13.320 --> 00:26:16.270 and the people that live after the flesh, lust after the flesh, 394 00:26:16.280 --> 00:26:21.570 and those problems of sin are not actually demonic. 395 00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:23.110 They're sins of the flesh. 396 00:26:23.940 --> 00:26:28.550 You can tell when a person's problem is demonic by a manifestation of the devil. 397 00:26:28.820 --> 00:26:32.430 And he will manifest himself. You just better believe it. 398 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:34.230 He will manifest himself. 399 00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:37.770 And all you have to do is to plead the blood of Jesus Christ in his presence, 400 00:26:37.780 --> 00:26:40.250 and he will make a manifestation immediately. 401 00:26:40.300 --> 00:26:41.300 And so, 402 00:26:42.260 --> 00:26:46.250 If he does not manifest himself, just pray for that person to be set free from their 403 00:26:46.260 --> 00:26:51.450 sins and they'll be set free. And God will set them free by his mighty power. 404 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:56.230 We want to thank you for your questions that you wrote down, that you sent in. 405 00:26:56.300 --> 00:27:00.410 And I say that teaching is not a success until we've gotten rid of these questions. 406 00:27:00.580 --> 00:27:06.070 And so we hope that we will learn more and more of these truths and that God will, 407 00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:10.050 in a wonderful way, let us know that we do have the truth. 408 00:27:10.260 --> 00:27:13.770 and that we are the users of this truth to set humanity free.
