00:12 Welcome to "Anchors of Truth" live from
00:15 the 3ABN Worship Center, the "Unclean Spirit" 00:18 series with John Lomacang. 00:22 Well, we do welcome you to Thompsonville, 00:25 Illinois to the 3ABN Worship Center, 00:28 and to this "Anchors of Truth" series 00:32 and this one is being directed by our speaker 00:36 and pastor of this church John Lomacang. 00:39 And John is ready for us to listen 00:43 and as he presents a series on 00:46 "Unclean Spirit" this really came 00:48 out of a live that we did not too long ago 00:52 where Yvonne Lewis, Dr. Lewis, 00:55 and Danny Shelton, and C.A and John 00:59 several of us were discussing the 01:01 New Age Movement. We were talking about 01:04 all of the diversive things that are 01:07 taking place, we were talking about 01:09 how people are being deceived 01:12 and John had a great deal of information 01:16 to share particularly on the 01:19 entertainment industry, and how our young people 01:24 and older people are like are being 01:27 brainwashed. When we listen for 01:29 just a little bit to some of the things 01:31 that John had, we ask him would you present 01:34 a series on this subject. The subject is 01:38 named "Unclean Spirits" and he will be talking 01:43 about how this spirits are being used by 01:47 the entertainment industry 01:49 and even sometimes by some religious figures 01:52 to bring about a subtle diversion of truth. 01:58 Now, I believe with all my heart that God 02:00 has anointed Pastor Lomacang; 02:02 he has a wonderful ministry at 3ABN pastors 02:07 this church but he and his lovely wife 02:10 are also ambassadors of goodwill for 3ABN 02:14 throughout the world. And we appreciate 02:17 their ministry so very much, and tonight we're 02:21 gonna give him the remainder of the time 02:24 that we have in this hour. And we are 02:28 going to prayerfully go to the throne of grace 02:30 at this time, and ask for the Holy Spirit 02:34 to be in charge of all that is done 02:38 here tonight. Father in Heaven, 02:40 we thank you for Jesus, we thank you Father 02:44 that he died upon the cross, we thank you Lord 02:48 that he has been victorious 02:51 over the devil, and over all of his Angels. 02:55 And Father we know that the devil continues 02:58 to try to deceive us, but we know that 03:01 if we rely upon the Holy Spirit to lead us 03:05 and guide us, the Bible has promise that 03:08 he will lead us into all truth. 03:12 Father tonight we pray that you will 03:16 take charge of our lives. We turn them 03:19 over to you, and we ask you to speak to us 03:24 through your servant Pastor John Lomacang. 03:28 Thank you Father, we really love this man 03:33 and his wife Angie, and the ministry 03:35 that they bring to us. And we pray that 03:38 you'll anoint him again this evening, 03:41 in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, 03:43 our God, and our Savior, amen, Pastor John. 03:52 Thank you Jim, good evening everyone, 03:55 good evening, and good evening to those of you 03:58 who are joining us on 3ABN television 04:01 or maybe on dish network, or maybe on 04:04 3ABN radio, or maybe via the internet, 04:07 or maybe some other media source, 04:09 we thank you for tuning in tonight. 04:12 I'm gonna begin by taking a deep breathe, 04:19 just so that my mind could stop running. 04:23 I've been sequestered for days on in just 04:29 praying and studying and putting my thoughts 04:33 together and as I said to Pastor C. A. 04:36 I said to Danny, and also to Jim, 04:38 my only problem is what to leave out. 04:41 And I believe that in the course of the next 04:44 four more nights, we'll be able to, 04:48 I believe do more than justice to the topic of 04:51 how Satan is so masterfully hiding 04:57 his tactics to deceive not just the world 05:00 which he has already deceived, 05:01 but now he's masking his tactics to even 05:04 draw in Christians in the last days. 05:06 So, I want to really impress upon you to 05:10 pray continually and for those of you watching 05:13 invite your friends if you have the chance 05:14 to record it, record it and share 05:16 with other people. But tonight's topic is 05:18 entitled the "Revealing" and we begin at 05:21 7 pm Central, don't forget tomorrow night 05:24 is 8 pm Central. It's not the same time, 05:27 tomorrow night's topic is entitled 05:29 "It did not come from God" very profound 05:33 where did this come from? We know 05:34 the answer, but is more informative 05:37 than just saying it came from the devil. 05:39 Then Friday night you do not want to miss 05:42 Friday night, it is entitled 05:45 "Mixed Messages" as I study into the movements 05:49 of the occult and how Satan has for the last 05:51 6,000 years tested his theories 05:55 and his methods. It is amazing how much 05:58 he has hidden through mixed signals, 06:01 Friday night you really don't wanna miss it, 06:04 he has so put it together that 06:06 it appears so Christian, that it could be 06:09 slid under your door, under the guise of 06:12 Christianity and be fully welcome. 06:14 You don't wanna miss Friday night 06:16 "Mixed Signals" then on Saturday morning, 06:19 Sabbath morning as we would call it, 06:22 is entitled "The Walk of Fame", why do people 06:25 want the walk of fame so much, what is there 06:27 about fame that will make a person walk away 06:30 from eternal life. We're gonna talk about 06:31 the walk of fame, how it's being repackaged 06:34 and young people are dying today 06:36 to be famous. Well, I wanna just say this, 06:39 God has not called us to be famous, 06:40 God has called us to be faithful, 06:42 can you say amen? How did those, 06:45 those two F's get switched, 06:47 famous and faithful? And then we're gonna end 06:51 with a very profound look into a term that is 06:54 often associated with Christianity 06:56 when you meet somebody and you say 06:58 I'm born again, somebody else may say 07:00 well I'm born again too. Well Satan has 07:02 an entirely different meaning for the 07:04 phrase born again. Lot of people 07:07 that are in the music industry 07:08 they say they pray, they say 07:10 they have a relationship with God, 07:11 but the question is what God 07:13 and are they born again and if they're 07:15 born again into what, and in their legions 07:18 to whom, so really invite your friends 07:21 to watch this I would say, I've done a lot of 07:23 series here at 3ABN and around the world, 07:26 but I would say this is probably the one that 07:28 is really pulled the most out of me. 07:30 It is one that has demanded me to take 07:32 my time, it is one that kind of like following 07:35 a groundhog down his hole you go down there 07:39 and discover that you ask yourself 07:41 is there anyway out, because you discover 07:44 that below the surface there are so many 07:45 different directions you can go. 07:47 This subject has so many different directions; 07:51 I've decided to choose as many as I could, 07:54 and I'm gonna make a statement that 07:56 may hold me accountable, I'm also planning by 07:59 God's grace to put this in a book, 08:01 in a more lengthy process, because I know 08:04 many of you may hear things 08:06 and not be able to grasp at the first time 08:08 through, but pray how that's going to happen. 08:11 I don't even know whether resources 08:12 is gonna come from, but I believe 08:14 and God has continually impresses me through 08:16 many people to put this in a book. 08:18 So, I'll try to do my best to add 08:20 to clarifying what we need to understand 08:23 about these last days. But tonight as I begin 08:26 I wanna ask God to pray, I know that 08:28 Pastor Jim Gilley has already prayed, 08:30 but I need God to lead my mind, 08:32 I need God to anoint my mind, 08:34 I need God's direction, this is a very powerful 08:37 as well as very solid message, 08:40 so let's bow our heads together. 08:42 Gracious Father in Heaven, thank you 08:45 so much for the opportunity, 08:46 it's one that I don't wanna waste on humanity, 08:50 that means I don't wanna waste it on 08:51 what I'm able to do. Father I want this to be 08:55 under your control, I wanna completely yield 08:58 myself to the power that you desire to flow 09:01 through me. Lord tonight as there are 09:04 millions around the world on a 09:06 different path other than the one 09:07 you've outlined, we pray that you'll guide 09:10 their hearts and minds to through this 09:11 presentation, and in the end may we not forget 09:15 Jesus in your name, I pray amen. 09:22 When I was in the 3rd grade in P.S 3 in 09:24 New York City, if you're in Brooklyn you know 09:27 exactly what I'm talking about is right there on, 09:29 on the corner of Franklin and Hancock, 09:31 one block away from Franklin 09:33 and Fulton street right there in 09:34 Brooklyn New York still standing 09:36 to this very day. I remember Karen going 09:39 to an assembly remember those days in school 09:41 when you went to assembly was 09:43 once a week when all the school got together for 09:45 assembly in the school auditorium. 09:48 Well, they showed a movie that I'd never 09:51 seen before and I'd never seen it since, 09:53 it was a short piece called 09:55 The Pied Piper of Hamelin. And I never 09:59 forget this because it was based on the subject 10:02 of a legend concerning the departure 10:05 or death of a great number of children 10:08 from the town of Hamelin, Germany, 10:10 this happened according to the folklore 10:13 in the Middle Ages. But the pied piper, 10:17 the reason why he was called the pied piper, 10:19 it was a term meaning the covertly 10:22 dressed piper. His clothing was 10:25 attractive also; he had two things that 10:28 attracted the young people, 10:29 the way he dressed and his music, 10:32 adornment and the song he play, 10:35 so he was called The Pied Piper of Hamelin, 10:38 leading children away from Hamelin, Germany, 10:40 and this children never returned. 10:42 Years later the story took on a 10:45 different note, it is said that in the town of 10:48 Hamelin people were concerned about 10:50 how to get rid of their rats, 10:51 and so they hired the Pied Piper of Hamelin 10:53 to play music and the music was so enchanting 10:56 that the rats followed him all the way down 10:59 to the rivers of Germany and they all drowned. 11:03 But the true story is when the citizenry 11:06 of that town refused to pay the Pied Piper 11:09 for his service of getting rid of the rats, 11:10 he retaliated by using his abilities to lead 11:15 their children away, turning his magic 11:18 on the, on the towns children leading them 11:21 away and never again were these children 11:25 seen by their parents in the town of Hamelin. 11:28 Well, tonight friends let me just say 11:30 to this way, he accomplished 11:32 it by playing a song; he accomplished it 11:36 by the way he presented himself, 11:39 he played a song that they followed 11:41 to their demise. The Pied Piper of Hamelin 11:45 is alive today through none other 11:49 than the working of Satan himself. 11:51 And there is an entire industry playing 11:54 the songs that will accomplish the same 11:57 purpose that the pied piper of Hamelin played. 12:00 Tonight I wanna go to the screen 12:02 and I wanna give you the, the foundational 12:04 scripture for tonight's presentation entitled 12:06 the "Revealing" the first in the 12:09 five part series on the "Revealing", 12:11 on "Unclean Spirits". Revelation 16 verse 13 12:15 and 14 we just follows and follow me 12:17 as it appears in the graphic. 12:20 I saw three unclean spirits like frogs 12:24 coming out of the mouth of the dragon, 12:27 out of the mouth of the beast, 12:29 and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 12:32 For they are spirits of what friends, 12:35 demons performing signs, which go out 12:39 to the kings of the earth and of the 12:41 whole world to gather them to the battle 12:45 of the great day of God Almighty. 12:48 Satan write as we sit here tonight 12:51 and all of his spirits are joined together 12:57 in gathering the world for this final battle, 13:00 the battle of Armageddon, 13:02 the great day of God Almighty. 13:05 And so friends we are locked out, 13:07 we are locked in an all out war against 13:10 the forces of darkness. Our children are 13:13 becoming victims of the forces of hell, 13:15 their minds are stolen, their consensus 13:20 under assault, there is an increase 13:22 if you notice it in the wearing of 13:24 black God's clothing, painting 13:27 finger nails black, wearing crosses is also 13:31 becoming the focus of the day. 13:32 We see a lot of music artists in the 13:34 secular industries wearing the cross 13:35 and we say they must be Christians, 13:37 there's a different message altogether 13:38 behind that. I'll talk about that later on 13:41 in the series, but you have to ask yourself 13:43 the questions what would make a young person 13:46 get to the point where he can take the life of 13:48 another individual and not even blink an eye. 13:52 What do you think is contributed to 13:53 school shootings, children that threatened 13:56 their parents with bodily harm 13:57 and all out defines of authority, 14:01 the entertainment, the music, 14:03 the movie industry? How do you think the minds 14:06 of the young are being hijacked? 14:08 What do you think the rise in promiscuity is 14:11 coming from, and sexual perversion among 14:13 the young, people calling themselves 14:15 technical virgins to continue 14:18 and attract that is dishonoring to God. 14:21 What do you think all the self-abuse 14:23 and cutting of one flesh is coming from? 14:25 There is an influence that is gripping 14:28 the minds of the young so much, 14:30 so that sometimes you may take your children 14:32 somewhere to somebody's house 14:34 and when they get there they say things like 14:36 I'm bored have you heard that before? 14:37 We are living among one of the most bored 14:40 generations, one of the most disconnected 14:43 generations as a matter of fact many families 14:46 get together for dinner at night, 14:47 and their children sit at the table almost 14:51 totally disconnected from their parents why? 14:53 Because they spend their times with all the media 14:56 devices texting and they live their days 15:00 with the earphones plugged into their ears, 15:02 and in their rooms they have their own internet 15:04 connection and they have their own televisions, 15:07 they are so shaped by what's coming from 15:10 the outside that when their parents 15:12 get together and talk with them, 15:13 all they could say is I'm bored, 15:15 they are thrilled to death, 15:19 Satan is behind that industry, 15:23 why do you think that the music industry 15:26 has a primary attraction to the degradation 15:29 of women, the fascination with 15:31 vampires and even in the afterlife, 15:35 what do you think that's coming from? 15:36 Satan is packaging things that he has 15:39 tested for 6,000 years; let me ask you 15:42 a question how evil can you be? 15:46 If you had 6,000 years to develop 15:48 and test every form of evil, how deceptive 15:52 can you get? If you've had 6,000 years 15:55 of people of every class, of every 15:58 educational level, of every walk of life 16:01 the famous and the poor, the wealthy, 16:04 the highly educated, the professors of grand 16:06 universities, how good would you be, 16:09 if there were your test subjects for 6,000 years 16:13 the minds of every person ever born, 16:15 how good would you be today after 6,000 years? 16:19 Well, friends the best way I can describe 16:20 this generation is found in 2 Corinthians 16:22 chapter 4 in verse 4 and I want you to follow me 16:25 very carefully those of you who are watching 16:27 because tonight what I want to do you know 16:29 this is called the Anchors of Truth. 16:31 I wanna begin by anchoring this series 16:35 squarely on the word of God, can you say amen 16:37 to that? We've got to have a foundation 16:40 it's got to be the word of God, 16:41 Paul the Apostle describes clearly 16:44 what's happened to this generation, 16:46 follow me 2 Corinthians chapter 4 in verse 4. 16:48 He says speaking of the, of the audience 16:51 of the world today, he says: 16:54 Whose minds the God of what age? 16:57 Of this age has blinded, who do not believe, 17:02 and here's the reason why the Satan 17:04 has done this, lest the light of the gospel 17:07 of the glory of God, who is the image of God, 17:10 should shine on them. Now, before we just 17:15 attached that just to world think about 17:17 that last church of the seven, 17:20 one of the conditions is wretched, miserable, 17:23 poor, common say the next one blind. 17:27 Satan has even found a way to blind the church 17:31 not just the Seventh-day Adventist church, 17:33 every church because the on slot is not against 17:37 one church, but against every institution 17:40 of morality. Now, be with me if I get a 17:44 little serious, I'll be little light hearted 17:45 later on but I got to get very serious 17:47 in the very beginning, is that alright. 17:49 It would be one thing though if I was just 17:52 talking about the world, but the church 17:54 is under attack. Satan already has the world, 17:59 he has already got those who don't want 18:02 anything with the Jesus, that's why today 18:04 when I go to church as my wife 18:05 and I travel all around the world, 18:06 we go to different cultures 18:07 and different societies and different countries, 18:09 and one of the things that I've seen that 18:12 has been so instrumental that Satan has 18:14 accomplished very effectively is this. 18:16 I've notice that young people today 18:20 don't dress like they have a connection 18:22 with the God, and the question is why? 18:24 Where is the influence coming from? 18:26 And I will suggest you that Satan has worked 18:28 on that for more than 6,000 years. 18:31 Have you noticed the first thing that 18:32 happened to Eve when she sin is what 18:34 happened? She lost the glorious 18:36 covering of God, and she put on goat skins, 18:39 the Bible says she put on a skirt. 18:43 But the Lord had to cover her completely 18:46 with his garment of righteousness. 18:48 Even in that area Satan has been effective 18:51 and he's continuing to be effective, 18:53 but there is also something else happening 18:55 in the world today as well as in the church. 18:57 There is a decline in interest in 18:59 spiritual things among many in the church, 19:01 that can be trace back to the entertainers 19:04 that they idolize, think about that, 19:08 they wanna be like the people 19:09 they see in moves, they wanna be like 19:10 Angelina Jolie and all these famous 19:12 individuals that cover up their darkness 19:15 with all these humanitarian acts 19:17 of kindness. I can't be all bad 19:19 but that's the principle of yin and the yang, 19:21 good and bad mixed together. 19:23 Something that I do will attract you to be 19:25 what I am going to be, that's happening 19:28 in the church today. And if you realize 19:30 that the world is a theater that has taken 19:31 Satan 6,000 years to construct. 19:34 And everyone is sitting down waiting 19:36 for the show to begin, his blueprints includes 19:39 features that were light years 19:42 ahead of his time. In another words 19:44 the strategies and tools that we are just 19:47 beginning to notice were in production for 19:49 thousands of years. You know, if I had 19:52 6,000 years to move a toothpick from that 19:54 end of the stage to that end, I would 19:56 suggest you, you wouldn't even see 19:58 it moves from day to day. You wouldn't even 20:00 notice it, that's how Satan works, 20:02 he works imperceptibly and sometimes you think 20:05 our minds are completely guarded against 20:08 what he does, but friends only by 20:09 the infilling of God's Spirit can we be saved, 20:12 what do you say? It's not enough to be empty; 20:14 we've got to be filled by the Spirit of God, 20:16 if we're empty, if we just talk about 20:18 the things that we've overcome 20:19 and not been filled by God spirit, 20:21 we are empty and Satan can come in with 20:23 seven more demons worse than the 20:25 first time around. But the real reason why 20:29 there's such a high rate of satanic success 20:31 can be found in the mission statement 20:34 of the CEO of darkness. Look at Isaiah 14 20:38 in verse 14 and see what he says, 20:39 Isaiah says it this way Lucifer said: 20:43 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; 20:48 I will be what is the next word, 20:50 like the Most High. In another words 20:53 according to Satan's plan the worship 20:55 that belongs to God alone will be 20:58 directed to Satan. If you've ever been do 21:01 a concert before lot of people called a 21:03 musical concert, well Satan calls 21:04 that a worship service. Don't we come to 21:06 church to sing and in some church they come 21:09 and raise their hands and they get all excited 21:11 about what is happening upfront. 21:13 Well, that is the opposite to the church, 21:16 the churches what God has revealed, 21:18 the concerts of what Satan has revealed. 21:21 And people you know what amazes me, 21:23 in church people look for the back row, 21:26 in concerts people rushed to the front row. 21:29 It shows you how even in the minds of some 21:32 Christians, Satan has found someway 21:36 to get in road. He said I'll be like 21:39 the Most High, he didn't say I would be the 21:42 Most High, he said I would be like 21:44 the Most High. In another words 21:45 I will so closely connect what I do to 21:48 Christianity that you'll get to the place 21:50 where the godly and the profane are 21:52 hardly able to be separated, 21:55 and you'll see tomorrow night exactly 21:57 how that's happening. Nowadays you see 22:00 the reason why Satan has so distorted what 22:02 God has done Satan cannot create, he 22:05 cannot create human beings but what he can 22:07 do is corrupt what God has created, that's 22:10 why sexual immorality is as rampant today 22:13 in the church as it is in the world. In some 22:17 walks of society as the matter of fact I did 22:19 some studies on this and found out that 22:22 in the Bible Belt. I want you to in, in the 22:24 Bible Belt, homosexuality is as 22:28 rampant as it is in some major cities, 22:31 in major churches among choir leaders, 22:34 and choir directors, and people that sing 22:36 godly songs promiscuity and darkness in the 22:40 areas of sexuality pervade the Christian 22:42 community how? Because Satan has a found 22:45 a way in their too, even the message that can 22:49 be employed, every device that he can use 22:52 Satan has invented to lead humanity to be 22:57 disloyal to God, you think about it. 23:00 I remember one Sabbath as I was pastoring 23:02 the church in California a young man was 23:04 standing in the foyer and he had his headsets 23:06 in and I thought oh great listening to some 23:09 Christian music waiting for Sabbath school. 23:11 Until I walked by him and I thought 23:13 it was so loud it was about to blow my 23:15 head off, and so I stop and say what are you 23:18 listening to, it was some hip-hop rap music 23:22 and he's leaning against the wall in the foyer 23:24 of the church getting his mind ready for the 23:27 sermon. Was that he was doing? That's why 23:31 they sit in church sometimes and fall 23:33 asleep, because the minds of so many are 23:36 so distorted, its like spider web after spider 23:39 web after spider web after spider you can't 23:41 even see the window on the other side. 23:43 That's what the Bible means when it says, 23:45 the snare of the fowler, the bird can see the 23:49 web that's being weaved for its 23:51 destruction, so they fly right into it to snare 23:53 of the fowler. But his most affective method 24:00 is one that he had from the day he was 24:03 created, listen to Ezekiel follow me 24:05 carefully tonight, look at that screen 24:07 Ezekiel chapter 28 verse 13 is where I'm headed. 24:10 This is amazing the method he uses today 24:13 he has for thousands of years. The Bible says: 24:17 You were in Eden, the garden of God; 24:20 Every precious stone was your covering: 24:23 The sardius, topaz, and the diamond, 24:26 the beryl, the onyx, and jasper, sapphire, 24:29 turquoise and emerald with gold, and then 24:31 he says, the workmanship of your timbrels, 24:34 your timbrels a musical instrument and pipes 24:37 was prepared for you on the day you 24:40 were created. Now, get this very carefully, 24:43 the name Lucifer was revoked, but his 24:47 musical ability was not revoked. The name 24:50 Lucifer was revoked, but that glorious 24:54 outward adorning that he had was not revoked. 24:57 He still has this glory that's why Paul the 24:59 Apostle says he appears as an angel of light. 25:01 Ellen White tells us that when he came to 25:03 Christ in the wilderness he appear as the 25:05 beautiful prince. He didn't come as a red 25:07 outfit horn dressing demon that's what 25:11 the world has done to make us think that Satan 25:13 doesn't come in other forms, in other 25:15 fashions. And so he has now wrapped himself 25:17 in various other ways through music and 25:19 entertainment that seem on the surface 25:22 innocent, I'm gonna let's talk about that. 25:23 Tonight I'm laying a foundation but I don't 25:26 want you to miss tomorrow night, you 25:27 cannot effort to miss Friday night, and you 25:29 don't wanna miss anything after tonight, 25:31 so if you're gonna miss any night it should 25:32 been tonight. An old evangelistic right, 25:36 but the truth of the matter is if you wanna 25:39 miss any night, it should been tonight, 25:40 tomorrow night I'm gonna say to you hold down 25:43 to your seats, put your seatbelts on, because 25:45 we're gonna begin to unpack this thing 25:47 in very strategic ways. Remember the name 25:50 Lucifer means day or morning star and Job 25:53 talks about a time when the morning stars 25:55 sing together. Have you ever thought about that, 25:58 the one that played the music for the morning 26:00 stars of the angel to sing together was 26:02 none other than Lucifer? He's been a musician 26:05 from the very beginning, the very talent that 26:08 God had given to him, the very gift that 26:10 God gave to him. When his heart was filled 26:13 with piper himself, he used for his own glory. 26:16 I know a lot of friends raised in the church; 26:18 sing very well. As a matter of fact a lot of 26:21 the people in the gospel industry started in 26:23 the church. I don't want to name, the names 26:27 but let me just say Aretha Franklin for 26:29 example Whitney Houston, a good friend of mine 26:33 I won't mention his name because we are; 26:34 you know we know each other so well. 26:36 But there are lot of people they began in 26:39 the church, but they are now singing for 26:42 the world. The deceptive power of music is so 26:48 amazing, for example when you sing amazing 26:52 grace just recently my wife and I were 26:54 in Zimbabwe, Africa, and they were singing 26:56 hymns that we didn't know what they were 26:58 singing, but you know how we understood it, 27:00 by the music they were singing something 27:03 completely different, they were singing 27:04 something in the Zimbabwean language 27:06 which we identified as amazing grace, so 27:08 here we were in this big outside series of 27:11 meetings and we were singing amazing grace 27:13 in English, they were singing amazing grace 27:15 in their tongue. It was not what we were 27:18 singing that connected us, but it was the 27:20 music, music crosses cultural lines, 27:24 that's why when you go to music stores and 27:27 entertainment places, you go to malls, 27:30 and stores, and restaurants, and every 27:32 other public place, they have music playing, 27:34 because they know that music opens the 27:36 door to influence you to do what you don't 27:38 plan on doing. If you go to Walmart and plan 27:41 to get just get a loaf of bread and come out 27:43 with $75 worth of stuff, because you walk into 27:47 the mall and they have so studied the way 27:49 you think these are advertises, they have so 27:52 studied the way you think, that you can't 27:55 even stand at the checkout counter without 27:57 being bombarded with magazines to one side 27:59 and gum and Mennen and all the other things 28:02 to the next side and the latest news on whatever 28:05 the gossip columns are and the astrology 28:08 magazines all around you there's a voice calling 28:11 out don't forget me, what about me do you 28:13 need some gum, what about mouth wash? 28:16 You can't even get pass the checkout without 28:19 these voices screaming out you, you almost 28:21 have to go to straight and I'm sure many 28:23 of you just like me, you get to the counter and 28:26 you don't really need it but you just see it 28:27 and say maybe I need a stick of gum, am I 28:30 telling true. In that advertises that are just 28:33 about the same age as many of us can do that 28:35 what do you think Satan can do? Who's been 28:38 studying in the laboratory of the human 28:41 mind for 6,000 years? He has seen what worked 28:44 and what didn't worked; they say one of the 28:48 first steps of success is finding out what 28:50 doesn't work and not do it. Satan's been doing 28:54 that for 6,000 years, that's why when you 28:58 go to sporting events and you hear dumb, dumb, 29:01 dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, what do you think 29:03 it's time to standup, its the last two 29:06 minutes in the football game, last few seconds 29:08 in the basketball game dhan, dhan, dhan, dhan, 29:10 dhan, dhan, am I telling the truth and the heart 29:12 begins to pickup, and all of a sudden but then 29:14 all that you could leave that and cross the 29:16 street and go to a funeral parlor and get 29:18 sad. In the matter of minutes why, the organs, 29:26 the music changes the moods when you go to 29:28 the horse race, everybody stands up 29:31 looking for their horse. The music we don't 29:34 even know what that sound means do we, 29:36 we just connected to horse races, but you go 29:39 to the amusement parks as soon as you walk 29:41 into Disney world, it's the small world, you go 29:45 home humming that for the next four days, 29:47 because the music comes in without your 29:50 permission, the cartoon age remembers the 29:52 Flintstone, meet the Flintstones, you could 29:55 even sing the words with me, but you not, 29:57 you would not remember the words without 29:59 even the music. And then some of you wouldn't' 30:02 even know your ABC's unless it had music 30:04 connected to it. Batman, and you can see, 30:10 you can see it in your mind, you can see 30:12 Batman in, the joker, robin flipping over the 30:15 table, am I telling the truth. And then all of a 30:20 sudden, they're creepy and they're kooky, 30:24 Mysterious common whom I talking about, 30:26 the Addams Family, there's you go, you 30:28 remember the tones and by the way many if you 30:30 don't know it but one of the key character 30:32 was Uncle Festers I will talk about this later on. 30:34 Uncle Festers was an icon for man that I'm 30:38 gonna talk about tomorrow night. 30:40 Even in the three stooges, they had 30:42 one of the, curly the guy he didn't have 30:43 any hair, he was also an icon for this occultic 30:46 symbol that I'm gonna introduce you tomorrow 30:48 night. All into woven in society, many of us 30:51 don't even know where it's coming from. 30:52 But friends you realize that music is an 30:54 emotional control mechanism. It decides 30:57 how you feel and what you think, it can 30:59 awaken a love sick feeling, or it can remind 31:03 you of traumatic memories. I had lady 31:06 in one of my churches, every Sabbath I would 31:09 end the sermon with the song "God Be with You 31:11 Till We Meet Again" beautiful hymn am 31:14 I right. One day she said pastor please do 31:16 not play that ever again, and I notice now 31:20 is not rock music that wasn't the reason. 31:23 But she said to me it reminds me of the day 31:26 my husband left me when he was walking out 31:28 the door he said to her God be with you till 31:31 we meet again, so even that song reminded 31:35 her one of the most traumatic experiences 31:37 in her life, but that's what music can do. 31:40 Satan knows that, Satan understands that, 31:43 music can put you into a trance; a music can 31:46 frighten the wits out of you. What I was 31:48 going to do which I decided not to do 31:50 because of the interest of time, I was gonna 31:51 show you two simple video clips, both of 31:53 them pictures of a ocean, now I'm not gonna 31:55 do that, but you know you hear an ocean; 31:57 you hear soft piano playing in the 31:58 background and all of the sudden you 31:59 get relaxed. But you see the same ocean 32:02 seen all of a sudden hear dhun, dhun, dhun, dhun, 32:04 dhun, dhun, dhun, you think a shark is gonna 32:06 come out of the water. Same ocean nothing 32:09 has change if you go to the beach and 32:11 somebody in the background plays, dhun, 32:12 dhun, dhun, dhun, dhun, dhun, dhun, you won't 32:15 even go on the water am I telling you the truth, 32:17 because all of the sudden you remember 32:18 the movie Jaws is not, you don't even know 32:21 what the shark looks like but the movie unlocks 32:23 fear in your life. You pack up your bikini suit 32:25 and you head back home, because the music has 32:28 done that, Satan knows how to do it. But listen 32:32 to what Ellen White says this is an amazing 32:34 quotation from the book Adventist Home, I 32:36 thought this is fitting for the topic tonight, 32:38 to lay the foundation, listen to what she says? 32:40 Adventist Home page 407 paragraph 3 she says. 32:44 I feel alarmed as I witness everywhere the 32:48 frivolity of young men and young women who 32:50 profess to believe the truth. God does not 32:54 seem to be in their thoughts. Their minds 32:56 are filled with what, nonsense. Their 33:00 conversation is only empty, vain talk. 33:03 They have a keen ear for music, listen to this 33:06 and Satan knows what organs to excite to 33:09 animate, and engross, and charm the mind so 33:14 that Christ is not desired. 33:19 You see what happen is by entertaining what 33:23 Satan said Eve was charmed away, as Ellen 33:28 White says that Eve was charmed away from 33:32 obedience. How was she charmed by the lyrics 33:36 slash words that Satan chose? Today if you 33:41 take the music away its words, if you add music 33:43 to it, its now lyrics, but it's the very same 33:45 thing. Satan has added music to words, 33:49 we call it lyrics, and today he has wrapped 33:51 his messages in songs on CD's, songs in movies 33:54 and brethren I'm gonna so unwrap this starting 33:57 tomorrow night, that I encourage you to invite 34:00 somebody else to sit down and watch this with 34:02 you because I'm literally going to take 34:04 off tomorrow night. I remember working in New 34:07 York City for paid advertising agency, 34:09 advertising agency and I remember one the super 34:12 ball was coming around advertises paid millions 34:15 of dollars for 15 to 30 second slot, you know 34:17 why, because that's all the time they needed to 34:20 get you to associate their product with the 34:23 music that they played in the background, 34:26 just 15 seconds and you walk into the store, 34:29 now and the other thing is what on earth does 34:31 a woman have to do with the John Deere tractor, 34:33 common somebody help me. Now in southern 34:35 Illinois maybe a whole lot okay, but Satan has 34:40 sound the art of getting you to think longer than 34:43 you need to on things that you don't even 34:45 need to consider. He's done that strategically 34:49 and so they pay 2 million, 3 million 34:52 dollars, so that a particular product 34:54 can be associated with a particular song, 34:56 and you go in the store and the moment you 34:58 see that product you remember the song. 35:04 That's why sometimes we wonder why we think 35:07 the way we do, the lyrics of the song introduced 35:10 into the mind is the door that opens up to mind. 35:13 Follow me carefully, the lyrics develop the 35:16 thoughts, the thoughts shape the individual, 35:20 so people would say things nowadays, or 35:24 think things nowadays, I used to be in the disc 35:26 jockey industry, I was a party, you believe me 35:28 party personified I'd, I would be in the party 35:31 so long sometimes. I could fall asleep in 35:33 front of a loud speaker, because my mind was 35:37 so desentized to what was happening around 35:39 me. And nowadays you go down the street 35:41 and some of these cities you pull next to a car 35:43 and you can't wait till the light turns green 35:45 because your car is about to be blown apart 35:47 by the speakers in the other guys car. 35:49 And you wonder how he is still alive you know 35:51 what I'm talking about, the base is so loud 35:55 I'm thinking, I've also the follow the study 35:57 that says a lot of young people below the age 36:00 of 20 years old are having hearing issues. 36:04 There are some cases where some young people 36:07 came to emergency rooms with their ears 36:10 bleeding, because of the depth and the sub base 36:15 that was in the backseat in somebody's car that 36:18 they were driving in, bleeding ears, but 36:22 there's, but there's another side to that, 36:23 some young people can hear things that grown 36:26 ups cannot hear, ring tones that they cannot 36:29 hear, ring tones that are too high for the 36:31 older folk to hear. And so they set their phones 36:34 when they go to school on this ring tone 36:36 that the teacher can't hear, but the students 36:38 can hear it. But what you don't know is in the 36:42 very music that some of us listen too, 36:44 in the very music that many young people by 36:47 listen to me very carefully. And I'll talk 36:50 about this and I'll show you the various ways 36:51 this is actually happening, there are 36:53 frequencies that are embedded in many of the 36:56 songs that you can audibly hear, but those 36:59 frequencies that you cannot hear the mind 37:01 can hear it, following those frequencies are 37:05 suggestive words in the lyrics that will break 37:08 down your resistance to do the things that 37:12 you would never ever thing of doing normally. 37:15 It's called mind control, I'm gonna talk 37:16 about that how these, how these tactics of 37:19 mind control have been assimilated into every 37:22 facet of the industry, even in churches, 37:26 it's amazing how it's happening. But when you 37:30 go back to it you understand what, 37:32 what the wise man said when he wrote in 37:34 Proverbs 23 verse 7 look at this very short 37:37 text and I want you to read this with me if you 37:38 follow me just sit in your home, here's what 37:40 the Bible says: For as he thinks in his heart, 37:44 what does it say, so is he. So, let's go 37:48 backward, a person becomes what they think; 37:54 your thought determines who the person is, 37:57 so you mean to tell me that you could listen 37:59 to worldly stuff six days a week and be a 38:02 Christian on the Sabbath. You mean 38:04 to tell me that you could listen to music 38:06 that doesn't honor God and all of the sudden 38:08 you want to honor God when you come to church, 38:09 no, you can't. Some people go to sleep with 38:12 music, as matter of fact sometimes I remember 38:14 going to work when I use to work in the Wall 38:17 Street area and I would take the train to work 38:19 in New York City, I would always turn the 38:21 radio on in the morning and do you know 38:22 the last song I heard was the one I hummed 38:24 all day long, you know what I'm talking about, 38:27 that's why it's even important if you're 38:29 gonna choose music to wake up by, choose music 38:32 that you don't mind humming when you get to 38:34 work. Go to work singing songs like I'm saving 38:38 all my love for you and you are married. 38:41 Whitney Houston, Billy Paul, lot of these songs 38:44 are, are put to such beautiful tones and such 38:48 beautiful music that it doesn't even catch your 38:51 attention until you realize what you're 38:53 saying. But the music opens the door and 38:55 you start singing songs and all of the sudden 38:57 you realize you're talking about just 38:59 killing somebody, promiscuity, lying, 39:03 you know, you've got your family and they, 39:05 they need you there as Whitney Houston saying, 39:07 but I try to resist being last on your list 39:10 but no other man can do, she's talking about 39:12 somebody married to another women and we've 39:15 go on saving all my love, the music get you 39:20 to say you what you would not normally say 39:23 under well thought out circumstances. But what 39:28 you have to keep in mind is that the tools and 39:30 methods of assault will first use on perfect 39:33 angels, but what was the result look at 39:36 Revelation 12 and verse 4. Tonight I say again 39:39 is the night to base everything on the Bible, 39:42 Revelation 12 verse 4 says: His tail drew a 39:46 what, third of the stars of heaven and threw 39:49 them to the earth. Satan tried it out first 39:52 on his own friends. He tried it out on the 39:56 people that he worked with. Hey let me see 39:58 if its gonna work and he went from angel to 40:00 angel and when he was done one third of 40:02 the angels were expelled from heaven, 40:04 because Satan tried out something that worked, 40:07 he say it works, so he got down to the 40:09 Garden of Eden that's why when you look 40:12 about the, his tail drew a third of the stars 40:17 of heaven. When you think about that word 40:18 stars the entertainment industry is full of 40:21 stars, matter of fact the best you can get 40:25 is the star on the Hollywood walk of fame 40:28 where dogs can walk pass and defecate and 40:30 people spit on and the rain falls down and 40:33 cigar butts crushed on that's not the star, 40:35 well I wanna star in heaven what 40:36 about you, amen. But the best the world can 40:38 give is a star on the street somewhere. 40:44 Stars the very thing that Satan caused to be 40:47 kicked out of heaven is the very thing he offers 40:49 you now, you wanna be a star that mean 40:51 anything because that he got kicked out of heaven 40:53 you can go back in being star, what good is it? 40:56 Then he tried that down on to perfect 40:58 individuals, follow the thought perfect angels 41:01 they fell, perfect individual what 41:03 happened to them, they fall. Romans 3 41:06 verse 23 says: For all have sinned and do 41:09 what, fall short of the glory of God. When you 41:13 follow the manifest of the occult movement, 41:15 You will find out that it was born in Eden, 41:18 it was born in the garden, it was 41:21 first tried out in a perfect environment. 41:23 If it could work in heaven, can it work on 41:26 earth? Of course it can it, in imperfect in every 41:30 respect environment, but a being that has not 41:33 forgotten how to use his tools. That's why at the 41:36 top of the list of the methods use by the 41:38 occult movement is mental programming 41:41 and hidden attacks. You see by entertaining 41:45 what Satan said Eve was get this now a different 41:48 approach to this, Eve was programmed to 41:52 think opposite to what she knew was right. 41:56 And he did that by not being honest and by 41:59 the way the word occult, which I'm gonna talk 42:02 about a whole lot starting tomorrow night, 42:04 occult is the Latin word for occultus meaning 42:08 to conceal, to hide, or simply eclipse, have 42:14 you heard that term before somewhere? 42:16 There's a whole new series now called 42:19 eclipse about vampires, what's eclipse? Satan, 42:23 you see all these young beautiful ladies and 42:26 young sizzle guys and you wanna be like them 42:29 stars, but get this friend, the truth has 42:31 been eclipsed. Vampires, there are lot of people 42:35 nowadays even young people talking about 42:36 experimenting or having friends, you 42:39 know if I drink your blood you drink my blood 42:40 we are vampire friends, it's happening today. 42:43 Who's molding their minds not God, he shed 42:48 his blood, we don't have to shed ours, what 42:49 do you say? Something else how effective 42:54 was Satan's assault against Eve, notice what 42:57 she says in Genesis 3 in verse 13 here's her 42:59 testimony. And this is what a perfect woman 43:02 said, she said: The woman said, "The serpent 43:05 deceived me, and did I do? And I ate. 43:07 And Revelation continues Revelation 12 and 43:11 verse 9: He did it on the woman then led 43:14 Adam and Eve down the wrong path, Adam 43:16 was one that when in with his eyes right open 43:19 Eve also choose to go down the path of 43:20 disobedience, but here's the plan he has for 43:23 today. Revelation 12 and verse 9: So the great 43:27 dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, 43:32 called the Devil and Satan, who deceives 43:35 how much of the world? The whole world; he 43:38 was cast to the earth, and his angels were 43:41 cast out with him. And then you continue 43:44 following whether or not is working, one of the 43:46 first signs Jesus warned against as it pertains 43:49 to the end. Now we had lot of earthquakes, 43:51 New Zealand just recently, now this 43:53 one in Japan a terrible earthquake, keep 43:55 praying for them. But that's not what Jesus 43:58 warned about when it pertain to the end, 44:01 in Matthew 24 verse 3 and 4 they came to Jesus 44:03 and said to him: "What will be the sign of 44:06 Your coming, and of the end of the age?" 44:07 And Jesus said to his disciples what did he 44:10 say? "Take heed that no one what, deceives you. 44:15 We are living in the age of deception, and by 44:19 the way when I look at these friends, 44:20 I'm beginning to believe that people like to be 44:23 deceived. I mean how many movies have 44:26 you seen an act to kill this one, he is another 44:28 one he get killed, that one hit another one, 44:30 we've been so molded by things that are not 44:33 real that we are getting prepared for the most 44:36 unreal, real thing that will ever occur to 44:38 humanity, the appearing of the false Christ, 44:42 unreal in the sense that he's not really Christ, 44:45 but real in the sense that it is the grand 44:47 delusion. We are so molded by things that 44:50 are not real that we are you don't even 44:53 move with, with sympathy when we hear 30,000 44:56 people died in this recent earthquake. We say 44:57 oh that's so sad and we go on like nothing has 45:00 happened, because we see earthquakes all 45:02 around us. We hear about people being shot, 45:04 what we think about gangster rap where 45:07 shooting and killing is glorified, I'll talk 45:10 about that the hip hop industry and the rock 45:12 industry, I'll talk about that starting 45:14 tomorrow night. You see Satan has, has 45:18 so worked his art that deception today 45:21 is at all time high. Well here are some 45:24 questions as I begin to wind down for tonight, 45:25 three questions, what did Satan promised 45:29 Eve, in another words where did he meet her? 45:31 He met her at the tree of the knowledge 45:33 of what? Good and evil, get this when good 45:36 and evil are the very same intersection 45:39 and both are used at the very same time 45:41 that's the highest form of deception, 45:43 because something truth, something is true 45:46 about it but something is false about it, 45:48 evil and good merged together, it's 45:51 blended that's what called the amalgamation 45:54 of good and evil. It brings out one product 45:57 and alloy really called deception. What that he 46:00 promised follow this carefully because it is 46:02 the foundation? He said to Eve, your eyes 46:06 will be what, opened, in another words he 46:09 promised Eve enlightenment, he said 46:11 to her you'll see more than God permits. 46:16 Now get this, how many things have you see 46:17 that you wish you never saw raise your hands? 46:21 You can't get it out of your mind, that's one 46:23 of the reasons why my wife and I have 46:24 complete, we don't, we don't watch those scary 46:26 movies you know why, because we live in the 46:27 country, and there is enough dark outside, 46:30 amen somebody. But if you put that stuff in 46:33 your mind it becomes your own worst enemy, 46:35 you are molded in the wrong direction. 46:38 There is something else he did, and by the way 46:41 when he talks about your eyes will be open, 46:42 Satan has built an entire industry on this, 46:46 an industry of illumination called the 46:49 illuminati. And something else that 46:51 you may not have heard about before, 46:52 he is also based an industry on something 46:55 called the third eye. You got two he had it 46:58 one more, we will talk about that as this 47:00 series continues to progress. But he also 47:02 promised something else, he said you'll be 47:04 like God, he didn't say you'll be God, he 47:07 just say you'll be like God. In another words 47:09 instead of only God being worship, I also 47:12 work about that people will worship you, and 47:15 you can't convince me that actors are not 47:16 being worshiped and music icons are not 47:18 being worshiped. What will take a person to 47:20 crying to the point where they lose consciousness 47:23 just by seeing somebody step out on a stage? 47:25 That's the lowest form of worship, worshiping 47:30 a man, worshiping a single woman, worshiping 47:33 an icon, one woman could stand in the stadium 47:35 of 60,000 people, and everybody is fallen out 47:38 screaming her name, breaking their necks 47:40 to get to the front of the line why? Because 47:43 Satan has so fixed that, that not God but 47:46 you that's what he said to Eve, you'll be 47:48 like God, you'll be the one that's being 47:51 worshiped. And Matthew makes it clear, he 47:55 even promised this to God, but I want you to 47:57 read this, look at what he promised to Jesus, 47:59 Matthew 4 verse 8 and 9, Matthew 4 verse 8 48:03 and 9, the reason why rich people and famous 48:05 people are being worshiped is right here 48:07 in this text, he says about Jesus: Again, 48:10 the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high 48:13 mountain, what kind of mountain friends, 48:14 exceedingly high, I've, I've, I've hit the high 48:18 times, I've hit the high life, I'm living high, 48:22 I'm living high on the hog. All these terms 48:26 that's what the devil is all about, he wants you 48:28 to live high, he wants you to get high, 48:31 exceedingly high mountain and showed Him how 48:34 many other kingdom, all the kingdoms of the 48:37 world and their glory. Man I wish I was that 48:41 wealthy, that's what we say and he said to 48:43 Jesus and to Him, "All these things I will give 48:46 You and here's the hook if You fall down 48:49 and say with me, and worship me." You cannot 48:53 be in that industry without worshiping the 48:56 devil it is impossible, those are his terms, 48:59 I'll give it to you, but here's the clause you 49:02 got worship me. But the Lord warned in 49:04 Deuteronomy 11 verse 16: Be careful, look at 49:07 this text: Be careful, or you will be enticed 49:10 to turn away and worship other gods and bow 49:14 down to them. That's what he wants to do, 49:17 I tell you about that one time I, I sat back and 49:19 I was looking at all this people that sing in the 49:21 music industry and there was the time that 49:22 God had slap me on my forehead. 49:24 Jim I looked out there and I said man I'll sing 49:27 better than he does, I can make money 49:29 more than he can, and I realize you know what? 49:32 What does it profit a man, if he gains the 49:33 whole world and do what looses his soul. 49:36 So, I said you know what, I rather sing for 49:38 Jesus, so that one day I'll be able to sing not 49:42 just on earth but in every universe known to 49:44 humanity. I don't want this tiny stage called 49:47 earth; I want to be able to sing in 49:49 galaxies beyond the human thought. 49:51 That's the real stage not this little tiny 49:54 planet, that's what Satan, he can only give 49:57 you this, little tiny spec and spec on 49:59 spec. But God wants to give us everything 50:01 why follow his design? You have to keep this 50:05 picture in mind, there are many Gods in the 50:07 world today, and the reason why there are so 50:09 many that we don't see is because they 50:10 are all occult based. Now get this I'm gonna go 50:14 through this very quickly, the many faces 50:16 of occultism, magic, astrology, any system 50:21 claiming to use knowledge as a secrete or 50:23 supernatural powers, or natural supernatural 50:25 agencies, occultism is based on going beyond 50:29 the range of ordinary knowledge or 50:30 understanding, things that are mysterious. 50:33 That's why young people like that when they 50:34 go to the store and buy clothing right at 50:36 the checkout counter in many of the stores 50:38 for girls, there are books on how to cast 50:40 spells, how to get somebody else's 50:41 boyfriend and they borrow these books, 50:43 look at Barnes and Noble, book stores have 50:45 a whole section on how to cast spells, and 50:48 young people buy that stuff, it's fascinating, 50:51 the VG board, it seems like it's just another 50:53 game but it's the open door way to meeting 50:55 Satan himself. Fascination then 50:58 there are other things, the secrete societies, 51:00 things disclosed are communicated only 51:02 to those who are part of a very same movement, 51:05 hidden from view or sometimes hiding 51:08 and play inside Yvonne. It's hidden to those who 51:12 are misinformed, then to cliffs, or block or 51:15 shut off from view in the Garden of Eden 51:18 that's what worked. Satan hide from 51:20 Eve the truth about her situation, 51:22 promised her eye sight when he was about to 51:25 take her eye sight away. Blinded by the light, 51:28 you heard that phrase before, Satan 51:31 was involved in that and through the 51:32 entertainment industry Satan is hiding the true 51:34 effects of the indulgence while at the same time 51:37 promising enhance eye sight. You heard the 51:39 phrase before what you see is what you get, 51:41 have you heard that before? Well, let me 51:43 tell you one that's really true, that's not 51:45 the truth what you see is now what you get, 51:46 what you don't see is what you get. 51:50 How many people would have chosen to smoke 51:53 if they knew that one puff would kill them? 51:56 They didn't see the drugs listing, how many 51:58 people would have chosen promiscuity if they 52:00 knew that one act would have lead them down 52:02 the road to HIV and then dying eventually, 52:05 they didn't see that what you don't see 52:07 when it leads you on a path that's not in 52:09 harmony with God, it's a path that is what you 52:12 don't see is what you get. Then there is 52:17 something else I revealed during the 52:18 series, God warned Adam and Eve about the 52:21 dangers of leaving the right path or in 52:22 occultism there is something called the 52:25 left path. We'll talk about that, the left 52:28 path well yeah there are two paths there's one 52:31 on the left and one on the right, where 52:33 the goats going to be on the left, were 52:36 the sheep going to be sit on the right. So, 52:38 there are two paths goat on the left, goat the 52:42 symbol, Satan's symbol goat you know what's 52:44 the goat, you know what the goat does? It butts, 52:47 I will serve God but, I've believe that 52:51 but, Satan is on that path because everything 52:54 that God introduced to him say I do that but 52:57 I want to be my own boss. I will do that but 52:59 I have a different way, that's why it's the goat 53:01 path. We'll talk about Baphomet and where he 53:04 fits into that why there is goat is all part 53:06 of this whole movement of the occult. And 53:09 then will also talk about how death is looked 53:11 at as something that is to be desire, to die 53:14 is a terrible thing. But not the way that 53:17 the occult industry has designed it, they 53:20 make death the entrance into a different life, 53:23 not into after life like some people teach like 53:26 going to heaven, they are talking about a 53:28 different life altogether. We'll talk 53:29 about how they done that, that's what he said 53:31 to Eve, he said to her: "You will not surely 53:36 die." Genesis 3 and verse 4, you won't 53:38 really die, so nowadays people are dying to who 53:41 they used to be so they could become 53:43 somebody else, because Eve didn't die right away 53:46 that day she eventually died physically, but 53:48 she became somebody other than God had 53:51 created her to be that's what happening today. 53:53 People are becoming other than what God created 53:56 them to be. And now our last text for tonight, 53:59 what is Satan's plan for this last generation 54:02 here it is 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 1 to 7, 54:07 my final text: But know this, that in the last 54:12 days what type of times, perilous times will 54:15 come, and here's the entire, here's the 54:18 outline for the last days Satan put this 54:21 together. For men will be lovers of themselves, 54:24 lovers of money, proud, boasters, blasphemers, 54:30 disobedient to parents, why, unthankful, 54:34 unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, 54:38 without self-control, have you been to party 54:41 lately, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, 54:45 headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure 54:48 rather than lovers of God, having a what 54:51 friends, form of godliness but denying 54:54 its power, there is no Holy Spirit in it. 54:56 And from such God warns turn away! For 55:00 of this sort and this is so amazing nowadays, 55:03 for of this sort are those who creep into 55:06 households and make captives of gullible 55:09 as the King James version says, silly 55:11 women loaded down with sins, led away by various 55:15 lusts, but dark pornographic industry 55:18 is what is talked about here, always learning, 55:22 never able to come to the what? Knowledge 55:26 of the truth, but let me end with the story. 55:30 Let me encourage you tomorrow night the 55:33 topic "It did not come from God" is going 55:35 to be amazingly eye opening. We know 55:37 where it came from, but I'll be specific 55:39 about where it came from. When I 55:41 worked at bank of, of, Bank of America 55:44 in New York City many years ago. And this 55:48 has to do with how my eyes have been opened; 55:51 I didn't spend all my time studying 55:53 counterfeit money. I spend my time 55:56 studying real money, becoming familiar 56:01 with all the symbols, all the things to look 56:04 for, to make sure that when the counterfeit 56:06 showed up I be able to spot it right away. 56:12 What I've done in this series, I've 56:15 been preparing for this series for 56:16 the last 24 years of pastoral ministry, 56:18 studying so closely the truth of God's 56:20 word, that God has now opened mine eyes 56:23 to be able to disclose to you what the 56:26 counterfeits are. So, as we look forward 56:29 to the coming of our Lord, here's the 56:30 question as we reveal what the devil has 56:33 done, I don't want you to forget that if 56:36 you've already had, had glimpse of Jesus, 56:38 you will be able to see the devil coming 56:40 10 miles away. Tonight we've got to look so 56:43 closely at Jesus, that we see deception coming 56:46 from the far distance away. Let us pray. 56:49 Gracious Father in Heaven, thank you so 56:51 much for the truth of your word. Thank you 56:53 for giving us the opportunity tonight 56:56 to lay the scriptural foundation for what's 56:59 coming after. Tomorrow night "It did not come 57:02 from God", Friday night "Mixed Signals", 57:05 Heavenly Father gives us wisdom to continue 57:08 following through, this is only one out of 57:10 five meetings, help us to stick to it, 57:12 to the very end. There's a blessing for us all, 57:15 and we pray this in Jesus precious name. 57:20 Friends we look forward to seeing you again, 57:22 invite your friends; invite your family 57:25 sit down for God. God has a message 57:27 for every one of us, as we get 57:29 ready for the coming of our Lord. |
