>> welcome to our thursday's
00:00:35.325 --> 00:00:36.326
Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:36.326 --> 00:00:38.695
Today i'm in the middle of
00:00:38.695 --> 00:00:39.562
A teaching talking about
00:00:39.562 --> 00:00:41.097
The word became flesh.
00:00:41.097 --> 00:00:43.700
That's a quotation from
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:44.834
John, chapter 1, verse 14,
00:00:44.901 --> 00:00:46.936
John, chapter 1, verse 14, and i hadn't got to
00:00:47.003 --> 00:00:47.737
And i hadn't got to that verse yet.
00:00:47.804 --> 00:00:48.638
That verse yet. i've been building up to it.
00:00:48.705 --> 00:00:50.373
I've been building up to it. we're going to ultimately
00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:51.441
We're going to ultimately be talking about
00:00:51.508 --> 00:00:52.275
Be talking about the virgin birth of jesus.
00:00:52.342 --> 00:00:55.211
The virgin birth of jesus. and helping you to understand
00:00:55.278 --> 00:00:56.813
And helping you to understand what a huge miracle this is
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:58.848
What a huge miracle this is and why it had to happen.
00:00:58.915 --> 00:01:00.884
And why it had to happen. this is one of the questions
00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:01.851
This is one of the questions i used to ask when i was a kid
00:01:01.918 --> 00:01:03.219
I used to ask when i was a kid about you know god's god,
00:01:03.286 --> 00:01:04.687
About you know god's god, why did he have to
00:01:04.754 --> 00:01:05.421
Why did he have to become a man?
00:01:05.488 --> 00:01:06.356
Become a man? why did he have to suffer
00:01:06.422 --> 00:01:07.557
Why did he have to suffer and be rejected and crucified?
00:01:07.624 --> 00:01:09.692
And be rejected and crucified? i thought he's god,
00:01:09.759 --> 00:01:10.426
I thought he's god, he could do anything
00:01:10.493 --> 00:01:11.394
He could do anything he wanted to.
00:01:11.461 --> 00:01:12.962
He wanted to. no, he couldn't.
00:01:13.029 --> 00:01:14.531
No, he couldn't. and this is a concept that just
00:01:14.597 --> 00:01:15.832
And this is a concept that just rattles a lot of people
00:01:15.899 --> 00:01:17.233
Rattles a lot of people because they think that
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:18.067
Because they think that there's no limits on god.
00:01:18.134 --> 00:01:19.402
There's no limits on god. god can do anything.
00:01:19.469 --> 00:01:20.570
God can do anything. no, god is bound
00:01:20.637 --> 00:01:21.704
No, god is bound by his integrity, by his word.
00:01:21.771 --> 00:01:24.307
By his integrity, by his word. and when he created mankind,
00:01:24.374 --> 00:01:26.843
And when he created mankind, he gave us the control of
00:01:26.910 --> 00:01:29.279
He gave us the control of this earth and said you deal
00:01:29.345 --> 00:01:30.713
This earth and said you deal with it how you want to.
00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:32.515
With it how you want to. he never intended for us
00:01:32.582 --> 00:01:33.850
He never intended for us to yield to the devil
00:01:33.917 --> 00:01:35.518
To yield to the devil and disobey him.
00:01:35.585 --> 00:01:36.719
And disobey him. but when we did, he didn't just
00:01:36.786 --> 00:01:38.254
But when we did, he didn't just come down here and wipe us
00:01:38.321 --> 00:01:39.756
Come down here and wipe us all out and start all over.
00:01:39.822 --> 00:01:41.424
All out and start all over. that would've been unjust.
00:01:41.491 --> 00:01:42.559
That would've been unjust. he...he gave this earth to
00:01:42.625 --> 00:01:44.527
He...he gave this earth to mankind to use as they saw fit.
00:01:44.594 --> 00:01:47.897
Mankind to use as they saw fit. now i'm...i'm getting into
00:01:47.964 --> 00:01:49.165
Now i'm...i'm getting into some things right here
00:01:49.232 --> 00:01:50.266
Some things right here that i really would like
00:01:50.333 --> 00:01:51.100
To encourage you to go back
00:01:51.701 --> 00:01:53.102
To monday's broadcast
00:01:53.102 --> 00:01:55.338
And watch this whole thing.
00:01:55.338 --> 00:01:57.440
I've been talking
00:01:57.507 --> 00:01:58.374
I've been talking about that there were limits
00:01:58.441 --> 00:02:00.643
About that there were limits upon god.
00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:01.945
Upon god. and somebody says,
00:02:02.011 --> 00:02:02.645
And somebody says, that's blasphemy!
00:02:02.712 --> 00:02:04.514
That's blasphemy! let me use a verse over here
00:02:04.581 --> 00:02:05.615
Let me use a verse over here in psalms, chapter 78.
00:02:05.682 --> 00:02:08.418
In psalms, chapter 78. god spoke this to me
00:02:08.484 --> 00:02:09.819
God spoke this to me on january the 31st, 2002.
00:02:09.886 --> 00:02:13.089
On january the 31st, 2002. it's probably the second most
00:02:13.156 --> 00:02:15.325
It's probably the second most important encounter
00:02:15.391 --> 00:02:17.093
Important encounter that i ever had with the lord.
00:02:17.160 --> 00:02:19.429
That i ever had with the lord. and in psalms, chapter 78,
00:02:19.495 --> 00:02:21.264
And in psalms, chapter 78, verse 41, it's talking about
00:02:21.331 --> 00:02:22.932
Verse 41, it's talking about the children of israel
00:02:22.999 --> 00:02:24.033
The children of israel and rehearsing the things
00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:25.068
And rehearsing the things that happened.
00:02:25.134 --> 00:02:26.035
And it says, yea,
00:02:26.102 --> 00:02:27.303
And it says, yea, they turned back
00:02:27.370 --> 00:02:28.972
They turned back and tempted god, and limited
00:02:29.038 --> 00:02:31.808
And tempted god, and limited the holy one of israel.
00:02:31.874 --> 00:02:33.343
The holy one of israel. this is a scripture that says
00:02:33.409 --> 00:02:34.811
This is a scripture that says you can limit god.
00:02:34.877 --> 00:02:36.479
Did you know god wanted
00:02:37.647 --> 00:02:38.615
Did you know god wanted them to come out of
00:02:38.681 --> 00:02:40.450
Them to come out of the land of egypt.
00:02:40.516 --> 00:02:41.584
The land of egypt. and then there was this time
00:02:41.651 --> 00:02:42.885
And then there was this time at mount sinai where he gave
00:02:42.952 --> 00:02:44.254
At mount sinai where he gave the law through moses,
00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:45.922
The law through moses, and all of that.
00:02:45.989 --> 00:02:46.656
And all of that. but if they would have done
00:02:46.723 --> 00:02:47.924
But if they would have done all of those things,
00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:49.125
All of those things, have built the tabernacle
00:02:49.192 --> 00:02:50.260
Have built the tabernacle and all of this, it would've
00:02:50.326 --> 00:02:51.227
And all of this, it would've taken only one year when
00:02:51.294 --> 00:02:53.396
Taken only one year when he tried to get them to
00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:54.297
He tried to get them to go into the promised land.
00:02:54.364 --> 00:02:56.299
Go into the promised land. but because of
00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:56.833
But because of their disobedience,
00:02:56.899 --> 00:02:58.167
Their disobedience, they disobeyed god
00:02:58.234 --> 00:02:59.369
They disobeyed god and they spent 40 years
00:02:59.435 --> 00:03:01.371
And they spent 40 years in the wilderness.
00:03:01.437 --> 00:03:02.772
In the wilderness. that wasn't god's will.
00:03:02.839 --> 00:03:04.307
That wasn't god's will. we know that he told them
00:03:04.374 --> 00:03:05.608
We know that he told them the reason he brought them
00:03:05.675 --> 00:03:06.743
The reason he brought them out was to bring them into
00:03:06.809 --> 00:03:08.378
Out was to bring them into this promised land.
00:03:08.444 --> 00:03:09.879
This promised land. but it didn't come to pass
00:03:09.946 --> 00:03:11.114
But it didn't come to pass and that generation died,
00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:12.749
And that generation died, and they never did receive it.
00:03:12.815 --> 00:03:14.083
And they never did receive it. god never intended for them
00:03:14.150 --> 00:03:15.451
God never intended for them to die in the wilderness.
00:03:15.518 --> 00:03:16.719
To die in the wilderness. it was because of
00:03:16.786 --> 00:03:17.186
It was because of their disobedience
00:03:17.253 --> 00:03:19.322
Their disobedience that this happened.
00:03:19.389 --> 00:03:20.456
That this happened. so i used this just
00:03:20.523 --> 00:03:21.658
So i used this just as an example.
00:03:21.724 --> 00:03:22.358
As an example. there's many others.
00:03:22.425 --> 00:03:23.459
2 peter, chapter 3,
00:03:23.526 --> 00:03:24.627
2 peter, chapter 3, verse 9, says, god is not
00:03:24.694 --> 00:03:26.596
Verse 9, says, god is not willing that any should perish,
00:03:26.663 --> 00:03:28.698
Willing that any should perish, but that all should
00:03:28.765 --> 00:03:29.599
But that all should come to repentance.
00:03:29.666 --> 00:03:31.434
Come to repentance. you can't make it
00:03:31.501 --> 00:03:32.068
You can't make it any clearer than that.
00:03:32.135 --> 00:03:33.569
Any clearer than that. this is the will of god
00:03:33.636 --> 00:03:34.871
This is the will of god that nobody perish
00:03:34.937 --> 00:03:36.205
That nobody perish but that everybody be saved.
00:03:36.272 --> 00:03:37.974
And yet jesus said that
00:03:38.041 --> 00:03:39.075
And yet jesus said that there would be more people
00:03:39.142 --> 00:03:40.276
There would be more people enter by the broad gate
00:03:40.343 --> 00:03:41.377
Enter by the broad gate unto destruction than by
00:03:41.444 --> 00:03:42.679
Unto destruction than by the narrow gate unto
00:03:42.745 --> 00:03:44.180
The narrow gate unto everlasting life.
00:03:44.247 --> 00:03:45.815
Everlasting life. so jesus himself said
00:03:45.882 --> 00:03:46.883
So jesus himself said that god's will isn't
00:03:46.949 --> 00:03:48.651
That god's will isn't coming to pass.
00:03:48.718 --> 00:03:49.352
Coming to pass. it's god's will for
00:03:49.419 --> 00:03:50.086
It's god's will for everybody to be saved
00:03:50.153 --> 00:03:51.154
Everybody to be saved but not everybody is saved,
00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:52.588
But not everybody is saved, and jesus said they...
00:03:52.655 --> 00:03:53.489
And jesus said they... the majority wouldn't be saved.
00:03:53.556 --> 00:03:55.692
The majority wouldn't be saved. not because god willed it,
00:03:55.758 --> 00:03:58.428
Not because god willed it, but because he gave us a choice.
00:03:58.494 --> 00:04:02.965
But because he gave us a choice. and so god's will doesn't just
00:04:03.032 --> 00:04:04.500
And so god's will doesn't just sovereignly automatically
00:04:04.567 --> 00:04:06.369
Sovereignly automatically come to pass.
00:04:06.436 --> 00:04:07.937
Come to pass. i've had so many people
00:04:08.004 --> 00:04:11.107
I've had so many people criticize me over
00:04:11.174 --> 00:04:11.908
Criticize me over this very issue.
00:04:11.974 --> 00:04:13.643
This very issue. and i've had people come up
00:04:13.710 --> 00:04:15.244
And i've had people come up after i teach on this and say,
00:04:15.311 --> 00:04:17.146
After i teach on this and say, that's of the devil!
00:04:17.213 --> 00:04:17.947
That's of the devil! you're of the devil!
00:04:18.014 --> 00:04:19.415
You're of the devil! you shouldn't be saying
00:04:19.482 --> 00:04:20.216
You shouldn't be saying these things.
00:04:20.283 --> 00:04:20.917
These things. god controls everything.
00:04:20.983 --> 00:04:22.618
God controls everything. god is sovereign!
00:04:22.685 --> 00:04:24.087
God is sovereign! you know if you want to use
00:04:24.153 --> 00:04:24.887
You know if you want to use sovereign the way that
00:04:24.954 --> 00:04:25.822
Sovereign the way that the dictionary defines it,
00:04:25.888 --> 00:04:28.224
The dictionary defines it, well then, i'll agree
00:04:28.291 --> 00:04:29.092
Well then, i'll agree god is sovereign.
00:04:29.158 --> 00:04:30.093
The dictionary defines sovereign
00:04:30.159 --> 00:04:31.794
The dictionary defines sovereign as first in rank,
00:04:31.861 --> 00:04:33.129
As first in rank, order, or authority.
00:04:33.196 --> 00:04:35.331
God is sovereign in the sense
00:04:35.398 --> 00:04:37.266
God is sovereign in the sense that he's the top of
00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:38.167
That he's the top of the food chain.
00:04:38.234 --> 00:04:39.435
The food chain. he is almighty.
00:04:39.502 --> 00:04:41.037
He is almighty. nobody is greater than god.
00:04:41.104 --> 00:04:43.673
Nobody is greater than god. and if you want to use sovereign
00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:44.974
And if you want to use sovereign that way to define god,
00:04:45.041 --> 00:04:47.176
That way to define god, i'm cool with that.
00:04:47.243 --> 00:04:48.277
I'm cool with that. i'm good.
00:04:48.344 --> 00:04:49.479
I'm good. but religion has redefined
00:04:49.545 --> 00:04:51.881
But religion has redefined sovereign to say
00:04:51.948 --> 00:04:52.749
Sovereign to say that he controls everything,
00:04:52.815 --> 00:04:54.717
That he controls everything, that nothing happens
00:04:54.784 --> 00:04:55.918
That nothing happens but what he wills it.
00:04:55.985 --> 00:04:57.787
But what he wills it. that's not true.
00:04:57.854 --> 00:04:58.554
That's not true. that's not what
00:04:58.621 --> 00:04:58.988
That's not what the word teaches.
00:04:59.055 --> 00:05:00.056
The word teaches. these people did not come
00:05:00.123 --> 00:05:01.758
These people did not come out of egypt;
00:05:01.824 --> 00:05:02.759
Out of egypt; god's original plan wasn't
00:05:02.825 --> 00:05:04.660
God's original plan wasn't for them to die
00:05:04.727 --> 00:05:05.528
For them to die in the wilderness.
00:05:05.595 --> 00:05:06.262
In the wilderness. that happened because they
00:05:06.329 --> 00:05:07.196
That happened because they disobeyed god
00:05:07.263 --> 00:05:08.331
Disobeyed god and they refused his plan.
00:05:08.398 --> 00:05:10.967
And they refused his plan. there's things happening
00:05:11.033 --> 00:05:11.667
There's things happening to people today
00:05:11.734 --> 00:05:13.202
To people today that it's not god's plan.
00:05:13.269 --> 00:05:15.738
That it's not god's plan. you know there was a man
00:05:15.805 --> 00:05:16.506
You know there was a man i've been on his television
00:05:16.572 --> 00:05:17.874
I've been on his television program with him.
00:05:17.940 --> 00:05:18.775
Program with him. i'm not against this guy.
00:05:18.841 --> 00:05:20.777
I'm not against this guy. but he believes in
00:05:20.843 --> 00:05:21.711
But he believes in the sovereignty of god
00:05:21.778 --> 00:05:23.179
The sovereignty of god to an extreme to where god
00:05:23.246 --> 00:05:24.914
To an extreme to where god controls everything and it
00:05:24.981 --> 00:05:26.616
Controls everything and it doesn't matter how bad it is,
00:05:26.682 --> 00:05:28.985
Doesn't matter how bad it is, god orchestrated it.
00:05:29.051 --> 00:05:31.654
God orchestrated it. and he will even say
00:05:31.721 --> 00:05:32.889
And he will even say that sometimes maybe
00:05:32.955 --> 00:05:33.823
That sometimes maybe god didn't do it,
00:05:33.890 --> 00:05:35.124
God didn't do it, but god allowed it.
00:05:35.191 --> 00:05:37.026
But god allowed it. i've heard him say that satan
00:05:37.093 --> 00:05:38.628
I've heard him say that satan is like a dog on a leash.
00:05:38.694 --> 00:05:40.830
Is like a dog on a leash. he can only go as far
00:05:40.897 --> 00:05:41.798
He can only go as far as god will let him go.
00:05:41.864 --> 00:05:43.900
As god will let him go. those are all concepts that are
00:05:43.966 --> 00:05:45.201
Those are all concepts that are contrary to scripture,
00:05:45.268 --> 00:05:47.036
Contrary to scripture, and they are all under
00:05:47.103 --> 00:05:48.204
And they are all under this banner of
00:05:48.271 --> 00:05:49.272
This banner of sovereignty of god.
00:05:49.338 --> 00:05:50.506
Sovereignty of god. they say that god
00:05:50.573 --> 00:05:51.207
They say that god controls everything.
00:05:51.274 --> 00:05:52.475
Controls everything. and this man i've been
00:05:52.542 --> 00:05:53.376
And this man i've been on his television program;
00:05:53.443 --> 00:05:54.477
On his television program; he interviews people.
00:05:54.544 --> 00:05:56.412
He interviews people. and i saw him interview a woman
00:05:56.479 --> 00:05:59.982
And i saw him interview a woman who this woman and her daughter
00:06:00.049 --> 00:06:02.218
Who this woman and her daughter were both abducted a...
00:06:02.285 --> 00:06:04.620
Were both abducted a... at gunpoint and taken out
00:06:04.687 --> 00:06:06.589
At gunpoint and taken out to a remote area and the guy
00:06:06.656 --> 00:06:09.625
To a remote area and the guy raped both of these women
00:06:09.692 --> 00:06:12.094
Raped both of these women and then had them lay
00:06:12.161 --> 00:06:12.962
And then had them lay on their stomach
00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:13.996
On their stomach and shot them in
00:06:14.063 --> 00:06:14.697
And shot them in the back of the head.
00:06:14.764 --> 00:06:16.098
The back of the head. and it killed the daughter.
00:06:16.165 --> 00:06:17.733
And it killed the daughter. the woman survived.
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:18.734
The woman survived. she had some physical problems
00:06:18.801 --> 00:06:20.336
She had some physical problems with it, but she did survive,
00:06:20.403 --> 00:06:23.105
With it, but she did survive, and she was being interviewed
00:06:23.172 --> 00:06:24.340
And she was being interviewed on this program,
00:06:24.407 --> 00:06:25.608
On this program, and they were saying,
00:06:25.675 --> 00:06:26.342
And they were saying, we don't know why god
00:06:26.409 --> 00:06:27.477
We don't know why god allowed this to happen,
00:06:27.543 --> 00:06:29.512
Allowed this to happen, but we know that god has
00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:30.947
But we know that god has a purpose for everything,
00:06:31.013 --> 00:06:32.782
A purpose for everything, and that god is sovereign.
00:06:32.849 --> 00:06:35.451
And that god is sovereign. and i tell you i got so mad
00:06:35.518 --> 00:06:37.620
And i tell you i got so mad watching that thing,
00:06:37.687 --> 00:06:38.688
Watching that thing, i nearly kicked in the screen
00:06:38.754 --> 00:06:40.122
I nearly kicked in the screen on my television.
00:06:40.189 --> 00:06:41.791
On my television. that is misrepresenting god.
00:06:41.858 --> 00:06:43.259
That is misrepresenting god. god did not cause that man
00:06:43.326 --> 00:06:46.095
God did not cause that man to go rape two women
00:06:46.162 --> 00:06:48.431
To go rape two women and kill one of them,
00:06:48.498 --> 00:06:49.565
And kill one of them, try and kill both of them.
00:06:49.632 --> 00:06:50.800
Try and kill both of them. god doesn't do that.
00:06:50.867 --> 00:06:53.002
God doesn't do that. this is not god
00:06:53.069 --> 00:06:54.003
This is not god that controls everything.
00:06:54.070 --> 00:06:56.439
That controls everything. and people say, well then
00:06:56.506 --> 00:06:57.139
And people say, well then how did it happen?
00:06:57.206 --> 00:06:58.040
How did it happen? because god gave us a freewill
00:06:58.107 --> 00:07:00.743
Because god gave us a freewill and people give themself over
00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:02.979
And people give themself over to the devil.
00:07:03.045 --> 00:07:03.746
To the devil. i don't believe that murder
00:07:03.813 --> 00:07:05.214
I don't believe that murder and rape and things like
00:07:05.281 --> 00:07:06.315
And rape and things like that happen accidentally.
00:07:06.382 --> 00:07:07.783
That happen accidentally. you have to cross
00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:08.918
You have to cross a bunch of barriers.
00:07:08.985 --> 00:07:10.620
A bunch of barriers. you have to break
00:07:10.686 --> 00:07:11.354
You have to break through a lot of things
00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:12.655
Through a lot of things that your conscience is
00:07:12.722 --> 00:07:13.689
That your conscience is restraining you from.
00:07:13.756 --> 00:07:15.391
Restraining you from. and you just have to give
00:07:15.458 --> 00:07:16.592
And you just have to give yourself over to demonic powers
00:07:16.659 --> 00:07:19.061
Yourself over to demonic powers to go out and rape and plunder
00:07:19.128 --> 00:07:21.130
To go out and rape and plunder and do the things
00:07:21.197 --> 00:07:22.532
And do the things that people do.
00:07:22.598 --> 00:07:24.300
That people do. i'm not saying that satan
00:07:24.367 --> 00:07:25.601
I'm not saying that satan isn't a factor.
00:07:25.668 --> 00:07:27.003
Isn't a factor. he is a factor.
00:07:27.069 --> 00:07:28.804
He is a factor. but he doesn't have the power
00:07:28.871 --> 00:07:31.007
But he doesn't have the power to force us to do things.
00:07:31.073 --> 00:07:32.575
To force us to do things. god gave us a self-will.
00:07:32.642 --> 00:07:35.912
God gave us a self-will. he gave us a choice.
00:07:35.978 --> 00:07:37.847
It says in deuteronomy
00:07:37.914 --> 00:07:38.681
It says in deuteronomy chapter 30, verse 19, he says,
00:07:38.748 --> 00:07:41.250
Chapter 30, verse 19, he says, behold i call heaven and earth
00:07:41.317 --> 00:07:43.686
Behold i call heaven and earth to record against you
00:07:43.753 --> 00:07:44.820
To record against you this day that i have set
00:07:44.887 --> 00:07:45.988
This day that i have set before you life and death,
00:07:46.055 --> 00:07:48.357
Before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
00:07:48.424 --> 00:07:50.259
Blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,
00:07:50.326 --> 00:07:51.394
Therefore choose life, that you and your seed may live.
00:07:51.460 --> 00:07:53.296
It's like god's giving you
00:07:53.362 --> 00:07:54.196
It's like god's giving you a quiz.
00:07:54.263 --> 00:07:54.830
A quiz. do you want life or death?
00:07:54.897 --> 00:07:56.666
Do you want life or death? blessing or cursing?
00:07:56.732 --> 00:07:57.934
Blessing or cursing? that ought to be a no-brainer.
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.702
That ought to be a no-brainer. you ought to be able to
00:07:59.769 --> 00:08:00.536
You ought to be able to choose life and blessing
00:08:00.603 --> 00:08:02.505
Choose life and blessing over death and cursing.
00:08:02.572 --> 00:08:04.340
Over death and cursing. but just in case you struggle
00:08:04.407 --> 00:08:05.875
But just in case you struggle with trying to figure out
00:08:05.942 --> 00:08:07.276
With trying to figure out which you would rather have,
00:08:07.343 --> 00:08:08.411
He gives you the answer,
00:08:08.477 --> 00:08:09.278
He gives you the answer, he says, choose life, that
00:08:09.345 --> 00:08:10.880
He says, choose life, that you and your seed may live.
00:08:10.947 --> 00:08:12.281
You and your seed may live. he even gave you the answer
00:08:12.348 --> 00:08:13.449
He even gave you the answer to this quiz.
00:08:13.516 --> 00:08:14.650
To this quiz. but god gave you the choice.
00:08:14.717 --> 00:08:16.485
But god gave you the choice. he says i give you the choice.
00:08:16.552 --> 00:08:19.255
It's wrong for you to say
00:08:19.322 --> 00:08:20.289
It's wrong for you to say the devil made me do it.
00:08:20.356 --> 00:08:21.824
The devil made me do it. or it's wrong for you to say
00:08:21.891 --> 00:08:22.925
Or it's wrong for you to say well god controls everything.
00:08:22.992 --> 00:08:26.395
Well god controls everything. let me just put it
00:08:26.462 --> 00:08:27.029
Let me just put it to you this way.
00:08:27.096 --> 00:08:28.631
To you this way. does god control you?
00:08:28.698 --> 00:08:30.633
Does god control you? does god control everything
00:08:30.700 --> 00:08:32.368
Does god control everything that you do?
00:08:32.435 --> 00:08:33.235
That you do? are you willing to blame god
00:08:33.302 --> 00:08:35.471
Are you willing to blame god for every rotten thought
00:08:35.538 --> 00:08:36.906
For every rotten thought that you have?
00:08:36.973 --> 00:08:37.840
That you have? every rotten action
00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:38.975
Every rotten action that you have?
00:08:39.041 --> 00:08:39.875
That you have? everything that you ever done?
00:08:39.942 --> 00:08:41.844
Everything that you ever done? are you so bold and audacious
00:08:41.911 --> 00:08:43.346
Are you so bold and audacious that you would blame god
00:08:43.412 --> 00:08:45.915
That you would blame god for every single thing
00:08:45.982 --> 00:08:46.916
For every single thing that you've done?
00:08:46.983 --> 00:08:49.385
That you've done? i believe...you know
00:08:49.452 --> 00:08:49.785
We've got six and a half
00:08:50.319 --> 00:08:52.221
Billion people at this
00:08:52.221 --> 00:08:53.990
Moment that can watch
00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:55.491
This program all around
00:08:55.491 --> 00:08:56.926
The world. and i bet you
00:08:56.926 --> 00:08:58.694
The majority of people today
00:08:58.694 --> 00:09:00.029
Would have to say,
00:09:00.096 --> 00:09:01.063
Would have to say, no, god doesn't control me
00:09:01.130 --> 00:09:02.665
No, god doesn't control me like a robot.
00:09:02.732 --> 00:09:04.000
Like a robot. you know that sometimes
00:09:04.066 --> 00:09:05.167
You know that sometimes you're supposed to go this
00:09:05.234 --> 00:09:06.502
You're supposed to go this direction and yet you just
00:09:06.569 --> 00:09:07.770
Direction and yet you just choose to go this direction.
00:09:07.837 --> 00:09:08.938
Choose to go this direction. you know it.
00:09:09.005 --> 00:09:10.206
You know it. there's times that you know
00:09:10.272 --> 00:09:11.307
There's times that you know you aren't doing
00:09:11.374 --> 00:09:11.941
You aren't doing the right things.
00:09:12.008 --> 00:09:12.608
The right things. there's times that you know
00:09:12.675 --> 00:09:13.609
There's times that you know you speak about people
00:09:13.676 --> 00:09:14.710
You speak about people and you do things
00:09:14.777 --> 00:09:15.611
And you do things and yet you do it anyway.
00:09:15.678 --> 00:09:17.279
And yet you do it anyway. so let me ask you this.
00:09:17.346 --> 00:09:18.314
So let me ask you this. if god doesn't control you,
00:09:18.381 --> 00:09:21.083
If god doesn't control you, what makes you think
00:09:21.150 --> 00:09:21.651
What makes you think he controls everybody else
00:09:21.717 --> 00:09:23.919
He controls everybody else and that everything else
00:09:23.986 --> 00:09:25.287
And that everything else that happens is just
00:09:25.354 --> 00:09:26.155
That happens is just automatically god's will?
00:09:26.222 --> 00:09:28.457
Automatically god's will? i tell you this is a religious
00:09:28.524 --> 00:09:30.059
I tell you this is a religious doctrine and tradition that like
00:09:30.126 --> 00:09:32.561
Doctrine and tradition that like mark chapter 7, verse 13 says,
00:09:32.628 --> 00:09:34.397
Mark chapter 7, verse 13 says, traditions and doctrines of men
00:09:34.463 --> 00:09:36.365
Traditions and doctrines of men make the word of god
00:09:36.432 --> 00:09:37.099
Make the word of god of none effect
00:09:37.166 --> 00:09:38.934
Of none effect and this is a religious
00:09:39.001 --> 00:09:40.302
And this is a religious tradicsh...tradition that has
00:09:40.369 --> 00:09:43.773
Tradicsh...tradition that has damned a lot of people.
00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:45.007
Damned a lot of people. it's destroyed a lot of people.
00:09:45.074 --> 00:09:47.677
It's destroyed a lot of people. you know i'm not going to
00:09:47.743 --> 00:09:48.210
You know i'm not going to mention a name right now,
00:09:48.277 --> 00:09:49.512
Mention a name right now, but i could mention the name.
00:09:49.578 --> 00:09:51.047
But i could mention the name. there's a person that most
00:09:51.113 --> 00:09:52.081
There's a person that most people would know
00:09:52.148 --> 00:09:52.682
People would know who i'm talking about,
00:09:52.748 --> 00:09:54.250
Who i'm talking about, and they were
00:09:54.316 --> 00:09:54.850
And they were raised presbyterian.
00:09:54.917 --> 00:09:56.886
Raised presbyterian. and this man and his sister
00:09:56.952 --> 00:09:58.654
And this man and his sister were very close.
00:09:58.721 --> 00:09:59.689
Were very close. the sister got sick.
00:09:59.755 --> 00:10:01.524
The sister got sick. he prayed that god
00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:03.225
He prayed that god would heal her,
00:10:03.292 --> 00:10:04.193
Would heal her, and she didn't get healed.
00:10:04.260 --> 00:10:06.128
And she didn't get healed. she died at a young age.
00:10:06.195 --> 00:10:07.697
She died at a young age. and when she died,
00:10:07.763 --> 00:10:09.498
And when she died, the pastor of this presbyterian
00:10:09.565 --> 00:10:11.167
The pastor of this presbyterian church came over and said,
00:10:11.233 --> 00:10:12.935
Church came over and said, well, we know that god
00:10:13.002 --> 00:10:14.103
Well, we know that god needed an angel in heaven.
00:10:14.170 --> 00:10:15.905
Needed an angel in heaven. that nothing can happen
00:10:15.971 --> 00:10:16.806
That nothing can happen but what god wills
00:10:16.872 --> 00:10:18.741
But what god wills and that this is god's will,
00:10:18.808 --> 00:10:20.342
And that this is god's will, and they blamed god.
00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:22.278
And they blamed god. i think that that's...
00:10:22.344 --> 00:10:23.646
I think that that's... i believe the reason people do
00:10:23.713 --> 00:10:25.114
I believe the reason people do that is because it takes
00:10:25.181 --> 00:10:26.382
That is because it takes responsibility away from us.
00:10:26.449 --> 00:10:27.983
Responsibility away from us. we don't have to say, well
00:10:28.050 --> 00:10:28.918
We don't have to say, well i wasn't standing in faith
00:10:28.984 --> 00:10:30.653
I wasn't standing in faith or whatever.
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:31.921
Or whatever. it just helps us to put
00:10:31.987 --> 00:10:33.155
It just helps us to put everything in a nice little box
00:10:33.222 --> 00:10:34.557
Everything in a nice little box and organize it.
00:10:34.623 --> 00:10:35.491
And organize it. and if something happens,
00:10:35.558 --> 00:10:36.292
And if something happens, we don't understand,
00:10:36.358 --> 00:10:37.226
We don't understand, well god must have a purpose.
00:10:37.293 --> 00:10:38.994
Well god must have a purpose. god works in mysterious ways.
00:10:39.061 --> 00:10:41.097
God works in mysterious ways. and we just blame god
00:10:41.163 --> 00:10:43.132
And we just blame god for anything we want to.
00:10:43.199 --> 00:10:44.800
For anything we want to. you know what it did
00:10:44.867 --> 00:10:45.568
You know what it did to this man?
00:10:45.634 --> 00:10:46.402
To this man? it made him so angry at god.
00:10:46.469 --> 00:10:48.270
It made him so angry at god. he says, if there is a god,
00:10:48.337 --> 00:10:50.406
He says, if there is a god, i hate him.
00:10:50.473 --> 00:10:52.141
I hate him. and this man today,
00:10:52.208 --> 00:10:53.542
And this man today, owns one of the largest
00:10:53.609 --> 00:10:55.077
Owns one of the largest television networks
00:10:55.144 --> 00:10:56.712
Television networks in the world.
00:10:56.779 --> 00:10:58.013
In the world. and he has stated that his
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.182
And he has stated that his purpose is to turn people away
00:11:00.249 --> 00:11:03.119
Purpose is to turn people away from a judeo-christian ethic
00:11:03.185 --> 00:11:05.755
From a judeo-christian ethic because somebody blamed god
00:11:05.821 --> 00:11:08.691
Because somebody blamed god for the death of his sister
00:11:08.758 --> 00:11:09.759
For the death of his sister and he says if there is a god,
00:11:09.825 --> 00:11:10.893
And he says if there is a god, i hate him and he's doing
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:12.061
I hate him and he's doing everything he can to turn
00:11:12.128 --> 00:11:13.295
Everything he can to turn people away from god.
00:11:13.362 --> 00:11:15.030
People away from god. now, he calls himself an atheist
00:11:15.097 --> 00:11:16.599
Now, he calls himself an atheist or an agnostic now,
00:11:16.665 --> 00:11:17.933
Or an agnostic now, but he started out
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.835
But he started out believing in god,
00:11:19.902 --> 00:11:20.736
Believing in god, but god was misrepresented.
00:11:20.803 --> 00:11:22.671
But god was misrepresented. this is what satan did over here
00:11:22.738 --> 00:11:24.206
This is what satan did over here in genesis chapter 3.
00:11:24.273 --> 00:11:25.975
In genesis chapter 3. this is where i was trying to
00:11:26.041 --> 00:11:26.876
This is where i was trying to go today and all the things
00:11:26.942 --> 00:11:28.344
Go today and all the things i've said right here
00:11:28.410 --> 00:11:29.111
I've said right here are introduction.
00:11:29.178 --> 00:11:30.479
Are introduction. but on yesterday's program
00:11:30.546 --> 00:11:32.014
But on yesterday's program i was showing how that satan
00:11:32.081 --> 00:11:34.416
I was showing how that satan used the craftiest animal.
00:11:34.483 --> 00:11:37.887
Used the craftiest animal. not the mightiest,
00:11:37.953 --> 00:11:39.255
Not the mightiest, not the most dangerous
00:11:39.321 --> 00:11:41.290
Not the most dangerous or intimidating animal to come
00:11:41.357 --> 00:11:42.992
Or intimidating animal to come and tempt adam and eve
00:11:43.058 --> 00:11:44.160
And tempt adam and eve because he couldn't force them
00:11:44.226 --> 00:11:45.127
Because he couldn't force them to do anything.
00:11:45.194 --> 00:11:46.095
To do anything. all he could do was come with
00:11:46.162 --> 00:11:47.163
All he could do was come with a lie and deceive them
00:11:47.229 --> 00:11:49.398
A lie and deceive them and they had to willingly
00:11:49.465 --> 00:11:51.033
And they had to willingly yield unto him.
00:11:51.100 --> 00:11:53.302
Yield unto him. and so satan came against them
00:11:53.369 --> 00:11:56.305
And so satan came against them and he challenged
00:11:56.372 --> 00:11:57.306
And he challenged the word of god has god said
00:11:57.373 --> 00:12:00.643
The word of god has god said i tell you this bible is
00:12:00.709 --> 00:12:04.480
I tell you this bible is the greatest gift outside
00:12:04.547 --> 00:12:06.081
The greatest gift outside of jesus and the holy spirit
00:12:06.148 --> 00:12:08.717
Of jesus and the holy spirit that god ever gave mankind.
00:12:08.784 --> 00:12:11.120
That god ever gave mankind. this reveals who god is.
00:12:11.187 --> 00:12:13.189
This reveals who god is. it tells us god's ways.
00:12:13.255 --> 00:12:15.891
It tells us god's ways. i believe everything in here
00:12:15.958 --> 00:12:17.426
I believe everything in here from genesis to maps, amen,
00:12:17.493 --> 00:12:20.429
From genesis to maps, amen, i believe it all.
00:12:20.496 --> 00:12:21.931
I believe it all. this is awesome!
00:12:21.997 --> 00:12:23.732
This is awesome! and yet they're..
00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:24.466
And yet they're.. the majority of people today
00:12:24.533 --> 00:12:26.569
The majority of people today do not have a
00:12:26.635 --> 00:12:27.503
Do not have a biblical worldview.
00:12:27.570 --> 00:12:29.438
Biblical worldview. that's based on surveys
00:12:29.505 --> 00:12:30.606
That's based on surveys done by george barna,
00:12:30.673 --> 00:12:31.941
Done by george barna, and i think that in america
00:12:32.007 --> 00:12:34.210
And i think that in america there's only like 13% of
00:12:34.276 --> 00:12:36.178
There's only like 13% of the people who claim
00:12:36.245 --> 00:12:37.379
The people who claim to have a worldview,
00:12:37.446 --> 00:12:38.581
To have a worldview, but when you ask them questions
00:12:38.647 --> 00:12:40.416
But when you ask them questions and it doesn't line up
00:12:40.482 --> 00:12:41.383
And it doesn't line up with the word,
00:12:41.450 --> 00:12:42.184
With the word, there's only about 6%
00:12:42.251 --> 00:12:44.119
There's only about 6% of the american population
00:12:44.186 --> 00:12:45.588
Of the american population that has a biblical worldview.
00:12:45.654 --> 00:12:47.523
That has a biblical worldview. and yet something like
00:12:47.590 --> 00:12:48.490
And yet something like 60-something percent would
00:12:48.557 --> 00:12:50.426
60-something percent would claim that they're christians.
00:12:50.492 --> 00:12:51.894
Claim that they're christians. thirty-eight-something percent
00:12:51.961 --> 00:12:53.562
Thirty-eight-something percent believe that they are
00:12:53.629 --> 00:12:55.364
Believe that they are born again.
00:12:55.431 --> 00:12:56.265
Born again. that they have a personal
00:12:56.332 --> 00:12:57.132
That they have a personal relationship with the lord.
00:12:57.199 --> 00:12:58.601
Relationship with the lord. and yet out of those people,
00:12:58.667 --> 00:13:00.436
And yet out of those people, very, very, very, very few
00:13:00.502 --> 00:13:01.937
Very, very, very, very few people let the bible
00:13:02.004 --> 00:13:03.205
People let the bible get in the way of what
00:13:03.272 --> 00:13:04.006
Get in the way of what they believe.
00:13:04.073 --> 00:13:05.507
They believe. and that's the reason
00:13:05.574 --> 00:13:06.208
And that's the reason they get into sin.
00:13:06.275 --> 00:13:07.243
They get into sin. satan could not get adam and eve
00:13:07.309 --> 00:13:10.212
Satan could not get adam and eve to sin until he got them to
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.114
To sin until he got them to question the word of god.
00:13:12.181 --> 00:13:14.650
God had said in genesis
00:13:14.717 --> 00:13:16.652
God had said in genesis chapter 2 and in verse 17
00:13:16.719 --> 00:13:18.854
Chapter 2 and in verse 17 it says, but of the tree of
00:13:18.921 --> 00:13:20.089
It says, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
00:13:20.155 --> 00:13:22.191
The knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
00:13:22.258 --> 00:13:23.592
Thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day
00:13:23.659 --> 00:13:24.193
For in the day that thou eatest thereof
00:13:24.260 --> 00:13:25.394
That thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
00:13:25.461 --> 00:13:26.896
Thou shalt surely die. he said you will surely die.
00:13:26.962 --> 00:13:28.898
He said you will surely die. don't eat of this tree,
00:13:28.964 --> 00:13:30.032
Don't eat of this tree, you will surely die.
00:13:30.099 --> 00:13:31.700
Satan came and said,
00:13:31.767 --> 00:13:32.968
Satan came and said, did god really say that?
00:13:33.035 --> 00:13:35.037
Did god really say that? boy, there's so much in this.
00:13:35.104 --> 00:13:37.940
Boy, there's so much in this. but did you know if he would
00:13:38.007 --> 00:13:38.908
But did you know if he would have approached them,
00:13:38.974 --> 00:13:39.842
Have approached them, let's just say that there was
00:13:39.909 --> 00:13:40.809
Let's just say that there was 1,000 trees in the garden
00:13:40.876 --> 00:13:43.078
1,000 trees in the garden that bore fruit that they could
00:13:43.145 --> 00:13:44.146
That bore fruit that they could have eaten of.
00:13:44.213 --> 00:13:45.114
Have eaten of. if satan would have come
00:13:45.180 --> 00:13:46.315
If satan would have come and have said, has god only
00:13:46.382 --> 00:13:47.650
And have said, has god only allowed you to eat of 999 trees?
00:13:47.716 --> 00:13:51.353
Allowed you to eat of 999 trees? the very wording of that would
00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:53.455
The very wording of that would have diffused the temptation
00:13:53.522 --> 00:13:55.190
Have diffused the temptation because it would have shown,
00:13:55.257 --> 00:13:55.958
Because it would have shown, look how good god is?
00:13:56.025 --> 00:13:57.693
Look how good god is? out of 1,000 trees,
00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:59.728
Out of 1,000 trees, you can eat of 999.
00:13:59.795 --> 00:14:01.630
You can eat of 999. there's only one thing in
00:14:01.697 --> 00:14:02.865
There's only one thing in all of the universe that god
00:14:02.932 --> 00:14:04.667
All of the universe that god told you not to do.
00:14:04.733 --> 00:14:06.235
Told you not to do. if that's the way he would
00:14:06.302 --> 00:14:07.403
If that's the way he would have approached this,
00:14:07.469 --> 00:14:08.671
Have approached this, it would have been easier
00:14:08.737 --> 00:14:09.605
It would have been easier for eve to just say,
00:14:09.672 --> 00:14:10.773
For eve to just say, but look at how good god is?
00:14:10.839 --> 00:14:12.374
But look at how good god is? i don't know why he told us
00:14:12.441 --> 00:14:13.475
I don't know why he told us not to eat of one.
00:14:13.542 --> 00:14:15.644
Not to eat of one. but he's so good giving us
00:14:15.711 --> 00:14:16.812
But he's so good giving us the 999, i don't care.
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.848
The 999, i don't care. and they could have
00:14:19.915 --> 00:14:20.382
And they could have just ignored this.
00:14:20.449 --> 00:14:21.617
Just ignored this. but no, satan didn't come
00:14:21.684 --> 00:14:23.152
But no, satan didn't come and remind them of
00:14:23.218 --> 00:14:24.386
And remind them of the goodness of god
00:14:24.453 --> 00:14:25.554
The goodness of god and how great god had
00:14:25.621 --> 00:14:26.689
And how great god had been to them.
00:14:26.755 --> 00:14:27.589
Been to them. he pointed out the one thing
00:14:27.656 --> 00:14:30.292
He pointed out the one thing in the garden, the one thing
00:14:30.359 --> 00:14:31.560
In the garden, the one thing in the universe that god
00:14:31.627 --> 00:14:34.129
In the universe that god told them to leave alone.
00:14:34.196 --> 00:14:36.332
Told them to leave alone. and this is what he does
00:14:36.398 --> 00:14:37.199
And this is what he does with us.
00:14:37.266 --> 00:14:38.834
You know it says over in
00:14:38.901 --> 00:14:40.669
You know it says over in 2 corinthians chapter 11
00:14:40.736 --> 00:14:42.438
2 corinthians chapter 11 he says, i fear, lest
00:14:42.504 --> 00:14:43.672
He says, i fear, lest as satan beguiled eve
00:14:43.739 --> 00:14:45.441
As satan beguiled eve through his subtlety,
00:14:45.507 --> 00:14:46.442
Through his subtlety, so that your minds should
00:14:46.508 --> 00:14:47.643
So that your minds should be beguiled through the
00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:48.978
Be beguiled through the simplicity that's in christ.
00:14:49.044 --> 00:14:50.879
The apostle paul was saying
00:14:50.946 --> 00:14:52.081
The apostle paul was saying the same way that satan
00:14:52.147 --> 00:14:53.315
The same way that satan tempted adam and eve is
00:14:53.382 --> 00:14:54.450
Tempted adam and eve is the same way he tempts us.
00:14:54.516 --> 00:14:56.318
The same way he tempts us. he doesn't come and tell you
00:14:56.385 --> 00:14:57.453
He doesn't come and tell you about how good god is.
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.955
About how good god is. he doesn't remind you that god
00:15:00.022 --> 00:15:01.824
He doesn't remind you that god has done so many
00:15:01.890 --> 00:15:02.691
Has done so many great things for you.
00:15:02.758 --> 00:15:03.792
Great things for you. he will point out one thing
00:15:03.859 --> 00:15:05.627
He will point out one thing in your life that's wrong.
00:15:05.694 --> 00:15:07.796
In your life that's wrong. and get you to obsess over it
00:15:07.863 --> 00:15:10.332
And get you to obsess over it and just focus on it and think
00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:12.434
And just focus on it and think about what you don't have
00:15:12.501 --> 00:15:13.936
About what you don't have instead of all the good things
00:15:14.003 --> 00:15:15.137
Instead of all the good things that you do have.
00:15:15.204 --> 00:15:17.206
That you do have. he's doing the same thing
00:15:17.272 --> 00:15:18.273
He's doing the same thing that he did here
00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:19.641
That he did here with adam and eve.
00:15:19.708 --> 00:15:21.176
With adam and eve. and he came and tempted them
00:15:21.243 --> 00:15:23.078
And he came and tempted them because he had no power
00:15:23.145 --> 00:15:24.780
Because he had no power to force them to do anything.
00:15:24.847 --> 00:15:26.715
To force them to do anything. i was making a point of this
00:15:26.782 --> 00:15:27.783
I was making a point of this yesterday on my program
00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:29.451
Yesterday on my program that satan can't do anything
00:15:29.518 --> 00:15:30.986
That satan can't do anything to you without your
00:15:31.053 --> 00:15:31.987
To you without your consent and cooperation.
00:15:32.054 --> 00:15:34.490
Consent and cooperation. therefore, you have to...
00:15:34.556 --> 00:15:38.327
Therefore, you have to... you have to yield to the devil.
00:15:38.394 --> 00:15:40.262
You have to yield to the devil. and it may not be that you yield
00:15:40.329 --> 00:15:41.797
And it may not be that you yield through just embracing him
00:15:41.864 --> 00:15:43.232
Through just embracing him and loving the devil and loving
00:15:43.298 --> 00:15:45.267
And loving the devil and loving everything that is against
00:15:45.334 --> 00:15:46.668
Everything that is against all of the principles of god.
00:15:46.735 --> 00:15:48.470
All of the principles of god. but you could yield to him
00:15:48.537 --> 00:15:49.505
But you could yield to him through fear.
00:15:49.571 --> 00:15:51.106
Through fear. you can yield to him
00:15:51.173 --> 00:15:51.974
You can yield to him through ignorance.
00:15:52.041 --> 00:15:53.409
Through ignorance. i was talking about that
00:15:53.475 --> 00:15:54.376
I was talking about that there's religious traditions
00:15:54.443 --> 00:15:55.811
There's religious traditions that make the devil this
00:15:55.878 --> 00:15:57.379
That make the devil this powerful, huge force,
00:15:57.446 --> 00:15:59.048
Powerful, huge force, and christians because they've
00:15:59.114 --> 00:16:00.182
And christians because they've been misinformed and they think
00:16:00.249 --> 00:16:02.217
Been misinformed and they think that satan is a superior being
00:16:02.284 --> 00:16:04.386
That satan is a superior being to them, which is not true.
00:16:04.453 --> 00:16:06.388
To them, which is not true. he has to use your
00:16:06.455 --> 00:16:07.689
He has to use your human authority.
00:16:07.756 --> 00:16:08.824
Human authority. he can't come to you without
00:16:08.891 --> 00:16:10.793
He can't come to you without somehow or another deceiving you
00:16:10.859 --> 00:16:12.361
Somehow or another deceiving you and getting you to obey him.
00:16:12.428 --> 00:16:14.696
And getting you to obey him. if you have a misunderstanding
00:16:14.763 --> 00:16:16.031
If you have a misunderstanding of him, then it'll cause you
00:16:16.098 --> 00:16:17.366
Of him, then it'll cause you to respond in fear
00:16:17.433 --> 00:16:19.468
To respond in fear and satan will have access.
00:16:19.535 --> 00:16:22.404
And satan will have access. you know let me give you
00:16:22.471 --> 00:16:23.472
You know let me give you an example of this that many,
00:16:23.539 --> 00:16:25.507
An example of this that many, many years ago i was on a flight
00:16:25.574 --> 00:16:27.843

Which was about an hour and a half flight.
00:16:31.046 --> 00:16:32.614
An hour and a half flight. and this is back before they,

And anyway, i was on there with a man who was
00:16:39.855 --> 00:16:40.789

He stunk. and he had an attitude.
00:17:22.397 --> 00:17:24.333
And he had an attitude. while we were still
00:17:24.399 --> 00:17:25.234
While we were still sitting at the gate,
00:17:25.300 --> 00:17:26.335
Sitting at the gate, he smoked two cigarettes.
00:17:26.401 --> 00:17:28.337
He smoked two cigarettes. this was back when they allowed
00:17:28.403 --> 00:17:29.271
This was back when they allowed cigarette smoking on a plane,
00:17:29.338 --> 00:17:30.906
Cigarette smoking on a plane, but you weren't supposed
00:17:30.973 --> 00:17:32.407
But you weren't supposed to smoke at the gate.
00:17:32.474 --> 00:17:33.842
To smoke at the gate. that was after you got
00:17:33.909 --> 00:17:34.510
That was after you got in the air and the stewardess
00:17:34.576 --> 00:17:35.911
In the air and the stewardess came back and told him
00:17:35.978 --> 00:17:36.678
Came back and told him to put out his cigarette

They left him alone. so he smoked these cigarettes
00:17:42.050 --> 00:17:42.951
So he smoked these cigarettes before we even took off.
00:17:43.018 --> 00:17:44.820
Before we even took off. and then after we took off,
00:17:44.887 --> 00:17:46.722

When the government pays me, you know, welfare to not work.
00:17:58.634 --> 00:18:01.537
You know, welfare to not work. he says, this capitalistic
00:18:01.603 --> 00:18:02.671
He says, this capitalistic society has to have 10%
00:18:02.738 --> 00:18:04.640
Society has to have 10% unemployment to make it work.
00:18:04.706 --> 00:18:06.975
Unemployment to make it work. and he just started you know,
00:18:07.042 --> 00:18:09.044
And he just started you know, talking about how he got
00:18:09.111 --> 00:18:09.811
Talking about how he got his food out of trash bins
00:18:09.878 --> 00:18:11.747
His food out of trash bins and all of this kind of stuff.
00:18:11.813 --> 00:18:13.248
And all of this kind of stuff. so i started talking to him

They had something to do. and i started telling this guy
00:18:36.171 --> 00:18:37.239
And i started telling this guy about the benefits of work.
00:18:37.306 --> 00:18:38.941
About the benefits of work. i said, you would feel better
00:18:39.007 --> 00:18:40.409
I said, you would feel better if you did something with
00:18:40.475 --> 00:18:41.710
If you did something with your hands if you could see
00:18:41.777 --> 00:18:43.478
Your hands if you could see that you were
00:18:43.545 --> 00:18:43.979
That you were making a difference.
00:18:44.046 --> 00:18:44.680
Making a difference. instead of just being a taker,
00:18:44.746 --> 00:18:46.515
Instead of just being a taker, if you are a contributor
00:18:46.582 --> 00:18:48.150
If you are a contributor and helping other people,
00:18:48.217 --> 00:18:49.651
And helping other people, you would feel better.
00:18:49.718 --> 00:18:50.919
You would feel better. and man, he did not
00:18:50.986 --> 00:18:52.120
And man, he did not like it at all.
00:18:52.187 --> 00:18:53.021
Like it at all. and he turned and was
00:18:53.088 --> 00:18:53.956
And he turned and was looking out the window,
00:18:54.022 --> 00:18:55.023
Looking out the window, and i just kept talking to him
00:18:55.090 --> 00:18:56.325
And i just kept talking to him about the lord.
00:18:56.391 --> 00:18:57.859
About the lord. finally, this guy he just
00:18:57.926 --> 00:18:59.928
Finally, this guy he just turned around, stuck his nose
00:18:59.995 --> 00:19:01.964
Turned around, stuck his nose right up against my nose,
00:19:02.030 --> 00:19:04.800
Right up against my nose, and he yelled at me,
00:19:04.866 --> 00:19:05.968
And he yelled at me, and he says, you are speaking
00:19:06.034 --> 00:19:07.769
And he says, you are speaking to a disciple of the maharishi
00:19:07.836 --> 00:19:10.272
To a disciple of the maharishi and, he gave out this name.
00:19:10.339 --> 00:19:11.907
And, he gave out this name. i can't remember but it was
00:19:11.974 --> 00:19:13.075
I can't remember but it was a long name for satan.
00:19:13.141 --> 00:19:14.776
A long name for satan. i found out later
00:19:14.843 --> 00:19:15.577
I found out later in the conversation he was
00:19:15.644 --> 00:19:17.045
In the conversation he was a satanist high priest
00:19:17.112 --> 00:19:18.547
A satanist high priest under anton lavey.
00:19:18.614 --> 00:19:20.349
Under anton lavey. he claimed to have killed humans
00:19:20.415 --> 00:19:23.018
He claimed to have killed humans and cut their heart out
00:19:23.085 --> 00:19:24.720
And cut their heart out and offered them
00:19:24.786 --> 00:19:25.587
And offered them as human sacrifices.
00:19:25.654 --> 00:19:27.789
As human sacrifices. and he was...he was
00:19:27.856 --> 00:19:29.424
And he was...he was demon-possessed.
00:19:29.491 --> 00:19:30.259
Demon-possessed. you could see it in his eyes
00:19:30.325 --> 00:19:31.560
You could see it in his eyes and here was right in my face
00:19:31.627 --> 00:19:33.629
And here was right in my face challenging me.
00:19:33.695 --> 00:19:35.030
Challenging me. now let me ask you,
00:19:35.097 --> 00:19:35.864
Now let me ask you, how would you have
00:19:35.931 --> 00:19:36.465
How would you have responded to that?
00:19:36.531 --> 00:19:39.201
Responded to that? you need to think about this.
00:19:39.268 --> 00:19:41.203
You need to think about this. and there's a lot of you
00:19:41.270 --> 00:19:42.070
And there's a lot of you who are maybe even christians,
00:19:42.137 --> 00:19:44.239
Who are maybe even christians, but your first thought
00:19:44.306 --> 00:19:45.607
But your first thought would've been
00:19:45.674 --> 00:19:46.208
Would've been absolute fear, panic.
00:19:46.275 --> 00:19:48.744
Absolute fear, panic. you would've grabbed phillip.
00:19:48.810 --> 00:19:49.745
You would've grabbed phillip. oh phillip, let's pray
00:19:49.811 --> 00:19:51.113
Oh phillip, let's pray and let's ask god
00:19:51.179 --> 00:19:51.980
And let's ask god for protection.
00:19:52.047 --> 00:19:53.515
For protection. see if you respond in fear,
00:19:53.582 --> 00:19:54.983
See if you respond in fear, satan can't do anything to you
00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:56.518
Satan can't do anything to you without your cooperation.
00:19:56.585 --> 00:19:57.919
Without your cooperation. fear of the devil
00:19:57.986 --> 00:19:59.488
Fear of the devil is cooperation.
00:19:59.554 --> 00:20:03.325
Is cooperation. but instead of me
00:20:03.392 --> 00:20:04.026
But instead of me responding in fear,
00:20:04.092 --> 00:20:05.227
Responding in fear, i mean it just made me mad.
00:20:05.294 --> 00:20:07.863
I mean it just made me mad. this guy challenged me.
00:20:07.929 --> 00:20:11.166
This guy challenged me. and so he backed off some
00:20:11.233 --> 00:20:12.801
And so he backed off some and he was looking at me
00:20:12.868 --> 00:20:13.969
And he was looking at me with this terrible look
00:20:14.036 --> 00:20:15.237
With this terrible look on his face.
00:20:15.304 --> 00:20:16.571
On his face. well, i got right up against
00:20:16.638 --> 00:20:17.806
Well, i got right up against his nose, and i yelled at him,
00:20:17.873 --> 00:20:19.541
His nose, and i yelled at him, and i said you are speaking
00:20:19.608 --> 00:20:20.842
And i said you are speaking to a disciple of
00:20:20.909 --> 00:20:22.344
To a disciple of the lord jesus christ
00:20:22.411 --> 00:20:23.612
The lord jesus christ and my god's bigger
00:20:23.679 --> 00:20:24.713
And my god's bigger than your god.
00:20:24.780 --> 00:20:26.415
Than your god. and when i said that
00:20:26.481 --> 00:20:27.249
And when i said that he turned from being
00:20:27.316 --> 00:20:28.517
He turned from being this intimidating person
00:20:28.583 --> 00:20:30.719
This intimidating person into absolute fear.
00:20:30.786 --> 00:20:32.788
Into absolute fear. he actually jumped up
00:20:32.854 --> 00:20:34.122
He actually jumped up in the seat, put his back
00:20:34.189 --> 00:20:35.223
In the seat, put his back against the window
00:20:35.290 --> 00:20:36.658
Against the window and plastered himself against
00:20:36.725 --> 00:20:37.859
And plastered himself against the window and started barking
00:20:37.926 --> 00:20:39.461
The window and started barking like a dog and doing things.
00:20:39.528 --> 00:20:41.596
Like a dog and doing things. he actually bit his fingernail
00:20:41.663 --> 00:20:43.198
He actually bit his fingernail and pulled it out by the roots.
00:20:43.265 --> 00:20:45.534
And pulled it out by the roots. and man, i just started
00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:46.335
And man, i just started laying into him.
00:20:46.401 --> 00:20:47.336
Laying into him. i said, your god is a loser.
00:20:47.402 --> 00:20:49.738
I said, your god is a loser. i said, what a lou...
00:20:49.805 --> 00:20:50.839
I said, what a lou... what an example for him
00:20:50.906 --> 00:20:52.674
What an example for him to sit next to me,
00:20:52.741 --> 00:20:53.875
To sit next to me, a person who gets their food
00:20:53.942 --> 00:20:54.910
A person who gets their food out of trash cans,
00:20:54.976 --> 00:20:56.144
Out of trash cans, and i said, your god's a loser.
00:20:56.211 --> 00:20:57.779
And i said, your god's a loser. you have no power or authority.
00:20:57.846 --> 00:20:59.548
You have no power or authority. he says, i could curse you
00:20:59.614 --> 00:21:01.083
He says, i could curse you and you'll be dead in
00:21:01.149 --> 00:21:01.917
And you'll be dead in a short period of time,
00:21:01.983 --> 00:21:03.218
A short period of time, and he told me he had offered
00:21:03.285 --> 00:21:04.486
And he told me he had offered all these human sacrifices.
00:21:04.553 --> 00:21:06.655
All these human sacrifices. and i just quoted to him
00:21:06.722 --> 00:21:07.556
Proverbs, chapter 26, verse 2,
00:21:07.622 --> 00:21:09.791
Proverbs, chapter 26, verse 2, where it says the curse
00:21:09.858 --> 00:21:10.559
Where it says the curse causeless shall not come.
00:21:10.625 --> 00:21:12.227
I said, shoot your best shot,
00:21:12.294 --> 00:21:13.495
I said, shoot your best shot, buddy, curse me.
00:21:13.562 --> 00:21:14.363
Buddy, curse me. i dare you.
00:21:14.429 --> 00:21:14.996
I dare you. it'll come back on you.
00:21:15.063 --> 00:21:16.832
It'll come back on you. and he just panicked.
00:21:16.898 --> 00:21:18.200
And he just panicked. you know there were these
00:21:18.266 --> 00:21:18.900
You know there were these two little filipino ladies
00:21:18.967 --> 00:21:20.302
Two little filipino ladies that were sitting
00:21:20.369 --> 00:21:20.836
That were sitting in front of us,
00:21:20.902 --> 00:21:22.304
In front of us, and they were so short
00:21:22.371 --> 00:21:23.105
And they were so short that they couldn't see
00:21:23.171 --> 00:21:23.905
That they couldn't see over the seats.
00:21:23.972 --> 00:21:25.273
Over the seats. but when this was going on
00:21:25.340 --> 00:21:26.708
But when this was going on and he was barking
00:21:26.775 --> 00:21:27.642
And he was barking and doing all this stuff,
00:21:27.709 --> 00:21:29.111
And doing all this stuff, i saw their eyes come up
00:21:29.177 --> 00:21:30.679
I saw their eyes come up above the seats like this.
00:21:30.746 --> 00:21:32.981
Above the seats like this. and they were, i mean
00:21:33.048 --> 00:21:34.316
And they were, i mean their eyes were this big.
00:21:34.383 --> 00:21:36.918
Their eyes were this big. the stewardesses for
00:21:36.985 --> 00:21:37.586
The stewardesses for an hour-and-a-half,
00:21:37.652 --> 00:21:38.253
An hour-and-a-half, nobody ever came back there.
00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:40.522
Nobody ever came back there. and people just vacated.
00:21:40.589 --> 00:21:41.823
And people just vacated. it was a full plane.
00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:42.724
It was a full plane. i don't know where they went.
00:21:42.791 --> 00:21:43.725
I don't know where they went. but for...a number of rows
00:21:43.792 --> 00:21:45.427
But for...a number of rows just vacated in front of us.
00:21:45.494 --> 00:21:46.928
Just vacated in front of us. and i just laid it on this guy
00:21:46.995 --> 00:21:49.264
And i just laid it on this guy and told him.
00:21:49.331 --> 00:21:50.365
And told him. and anyway, because of that,
00:21:50.432 --> 00:21:51.767
And anyway, because of that, i don't know if he could've
00:21:51.833 --> 00:21:52.601
I don't know if he could've backed up his claims but his
00:21:52.667 --> 00:21:54.770
Backed up his claims but his curses and his claims
00:21:54.836 --> 00:21:56.204
Curses and his claims that he could kill me
00:21:56.271 --> 00:21:57.439
That he could kill me and do this stuff,
00:21:57.506 --> 00:21:58.373
And do this stuff, it had no power whatsoever
00:21:58.440 --> 00:22:00.008
It had no power whatsoever because i didn't yield to it
00:22:00.075 --> 00:22:02.277
Because i didn't yield to it through fear.
00:22:02.344 --> 00:22:02.978
You shall know the truth,
00:22:03.445 --> 00:22:04.746
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall
00:22:04.813 --> 00:22:05.380
And the truth shall make you free.
00:22:05.447 --> 00:22:06.047
Make you free. is what jesus said in john 8:32.
00:22:06.114 --> 00:22:08.116
And because i know the truth
00:22:08.183 --> 00:22:09.451
And because i know the truth that satan couldn't force
00:22:09.518 --> 00:22:10.986
That satan couldn't force adam and eve to do anything.
00:22:11.052 --> 00:22:12.921
Adam and eve to do anything. he had to get them to question
00:22:12.988 --> 00:22:15.757
He had to get them to question what god's word had said.
00:22:15.824 --> 00:22:17.826
What god's word had said. and he got them into unbelief.
00:22:17.893 --> 00:22:19.461
And he got them into unbelief. and they destroyed themselves.
00:22:19.528 --> 00:22:22.798
And they destroyed themselves. this may not bless you
00:22:22.864 --> 00:22:24.065
This may not bless you right at the moment.
00:22:24.132 --> 00:22:26.234
Right at the moment. but if your life is
00:22:26.301 --> 00:22:27.636
But if your life is out of control,
00:22:27.702 --> 00:22:29.738
Out of control, you're the one to blame.
00:22:29.805 --> 00:22:30.839
You're the one to blame. i'm not saying that satan
00:22:30.906 --> 00:22:31.773
I'm not saying that satan hadn't deceived you.
00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:33.041
Hadn't deceived you. i'm not saying that he
00:22:33.108 --> 00:22:33.742
I'm not saying that he hadn't lied,
00:22:33.809 --> 00:22:34.509
Hadn't lied, that you've bought into lies,
00:22:34.576 --> 00:22:35.744
That you've bought into lies, but ultimately you had
00:22:35.811 --> 00:22:36.812
But ultimately you had the choice.
00:22:36.878 --> 00:22:37.612
The choice. and the good news about that is,
00:22:37.679 --> 00:22:40.148
And the good news about that is, that if it's your fault
00:22:40.215 --> 00:22:41.583
That if it's your fault because you have bought lies,
00:22:41.650 --> 00:22:43.518
Because you have bought lies, that your life is out of control
00:22:43.585 --> 00:22:45.487
That your life is out of control and all these things
00:22:45.554 --> 00:22:46.087
And all these things are happening.
00:22:46.154 --> 00:22:46.788
Are happening. if that's true, well then
00:22:46.855 --> 00:22:48.056
If that's true, well then that means that you can
00:22:48.123 --> 00:22:49.324
That means that you can also reverse this process
00:22:49.391 --> 00:22:51.760
Also reverse this process by starting to believe
00:22:51.827 --> 00:22:52.994
By starting to believe the truth.
00:22:53.061 --> 00:22:53.962
You will know the truth,
00:22:54.029 --> 00:22:54.896
You will know the truth, and the truth will
00:22:54.963 --> 00:22:55.497
And the truth will make you free.
00:22:55.564 --> 00:22:56.898
Make you free. but it's only the truth
00:22:56.965 --> 00:22:57.699
But it's only the truth you know that makes you free.
00:22:57.766 --> 00:23:00.368
What you don't know
00:23:00.435 --> 00:23:01.903
What you don't know is killing you.
00:23:01.970 --> 00:23:03.905
Is killing you. this is the reason that man,
00:23:03.972 --> 00:23:05.640
This is the reason that man, people who know god,
00:23:05.707 --> 00:23:07.409
People who know god, see god provide for them,
00:23:07.476 --> 00:23:09.277
See god provide for them, miracles, healings.
00:23:09.344 --> 00:23:09.978
They have joy, things like this
00:23:10.645 --> 00:23:12.848
Because the truth
00:23:12.848 --> 00:23:13.748
Is setting them free.
00:23:13.748 --> 00:23:14.649
That's what this teaching
