00:09 DOUG BATCHELOR: FOR NINE MONTHS BETWEEN 1898 AND 1899, TWO 00:14 FAMOUS MAN-EATING LIONS OF TSAVO TERRORIZED WORKERS 00:17 EMPLOYED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A RAILWAY BRIDGE IN UGANDA. 00:20 AS THE DEATH TOLL ROSE, CONSTRUCTION WAS BROUGHT TO A 00:24 VIRTUAL STANDSTILL. THE WORKERS SAID THEY REFUSED TO 00:27 CONTINUE UNTIL PROTECTION COULD BE PROVIDED. FINALLY, THE REIGN 00:31 OF TERROR WAS BROUGHT TO AN END WHEN LIEUTENANT COLONEL 00:34 J.H. PATTERSON SUCCEEDED IN TRACKING AND KILLING THE TWO 00:38 LIONS THAT HAD DEVOURED 135 MEN. THE LIONS ARE NOW ON PERMANENT 00:44 DISPLAY IN THE FIELD MUSEUM OF CHICAGO. EVEN MORE DEADLY WAS 00:49 A TIGRESS IN INDIA THAT WAS REPORTED TO HAVE KILLED 00:52 AND EATEN 436 PEOPLE IN 1907 BEFORE IT WAS KILLED. 00:57 BUT THE RECORD FOR MAN EATING GOES TO ONE LION THAT HAS 01:00 DEVOURED MORE THAN ALL THESE OTHER CATS COMBINED. 01:03 1 PETER CHAPTER 5, VERSE 8 ADVISES US, "BE SOBER, BE 01:07 VIGILANT, BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL IS GOING AROUND LIKE A 01:11 ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MIGHT DEVOUR." 01:15 SO HOW CAN WE BE PROTECTED AGAINST THIS MAN EATER? 01:19 JOIN ME, FRIENDS, TODAY, AS WE CONTINUE OUR EXPLORATION TO 01:23 UNDERSTAND THE ORIGINATOR OF SIN, THE DEVIL. 01:30 TONIGHT WE'VE GOT A SUBJECT THAT I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO 01:32 FIND VERY INTERESTING AND I HOPE YOU'LL PRAY AS WE PROCEED, 01:35 BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THAT ARCHFIEND AND 01:39 'WHY IS THERE EVIL IN THE WORLD TODAY?' DEALING WITH THE 01:42 VILLAIN OF REVELATION, BETTER KNOWN AS THE DEVIL. 01:48 SATAN IS THAT ARCHFIEND. HE IS VERY REAL. 01:52 I BELIEVE THAT, NOT ONLY DOES GOD SEND GOOD ANGELS TO OUR 01:55 MEETINGS, I BELIEVE THAT THE DEVIL TRIES TO SEND 01:57 REPRESENTATIVES TO DISTRACT AND KEEP PEOPLE FROM HEARING THE 02:00 WORD. THERE ARE BATTLES THAT ARE RAGING. PAUL TALKS ABOUT US NOT 02:04 WRESTLING AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, BUT AGAINST 02:06 PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS - SPIRITUAL FORCES OF 02:09 WICKEDNESS IN HIGH PLACES. THERE IS A GOD, THERE ARE GOOD 02:14 ANGELS, AND THERE IS A DEVIL - THERE IS AN EVIL POWER IN THE 02:17 WORLD. I THINK, AS YOU LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENED IN HISTORY, 02:21 YOU'D HAVE TO SAY THAT THERE IS EVIL. 02:24 YOU LOOK AT WHAT SOME TERRORISTS DO, WHERE THEY PUT A PERSON IN A 02:26 CAGE AND DOUSE THEM WITH GASOLINE AND VIDEOTAPE AS THEY 02:30 SET THEM ON FIRE - THAT IS JUST INCARNATE EVIL. 02:34 ONE OF THE REASONS SOME PEOPLE TURN TO GOD IS THEY SAY, 'YOU 02:36 KNOW, I WASN'T SO SURE ABOUT GOD BUT, WHEN I BECAME CONVINCED 02:39 THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTE EVIL, THEN I THOUGHT, THERE MUST BE 02:43 GOOD. THERE MUST BE GOD.' AMEN. 02:45 AND WE CAN CERTAINLY SEE THE EVIDENCE FOR EVIL IN THE WORLD. 02:48 WHEN GOD CREATED ADAM AND EVE, WHAT WAS THE ONE THING HE 02:51 FORBADE THEM FROM DOING? HE SAID, "BUT OF THE TREE OF THE 02:55 KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, YOU SHALL NOT EAT OF IT." AMEN? 03:00 AND THAT, BY THE WAY, IS GENESIS 2:17. 03:02 HE SAID, 'YOU KNOW, YOU'RE FREE. THIS IS A PARADISE. 03:05 I'VE MADE THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD - BEAUTIFUL GARDEN - IT'S ALL 03:07 YOURS. I'VE GOT ONE RESTRICTION: THE 03:10 DEVIL'S BEEN TOLD THE ONLY PLACE THAT HE CAN CAMPAIGN 03:14 IS AT THAT TREE. AND YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT HIM 03:16 AND RESIST HIM AND YOU'LL NEVER HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. 03:18 BUT, IF YOU ENGAGE HIM, IT COULD BE DEADLY. 03:21 DON'T EAT FROM THIS FORBIDDEN FRUIT.' AND THEY DIDN'T LISTEN - 03:25 THE FRUIT OF THE TREE, YEAH. HE SAID, "FOR IN THE DAY THAT 03:29 YOU EAT OF IT YOU SHALL SURELY DIE." 03:32 NOW, WHAT THE LORD MEANS BY THAT IS, 'IN DYING, YOU WILL DIE' - 03:36 IS THE WAY THAT READS IN THE HEBREW - THAT YOU WILL 03:38 DEFINITELY DIE EVENTUALLY. THEY DIED SPIRITUALLY THE DAY 03:41 THEY DISOBEYED AND, OF COURSE, ADAM AND EVE BOTH DIED 03:45 WITHIN THAT FIRST MILLENNIA. 'A DAY WITH THE LORD IS LIKE 03:47 A THOUSAND YEARS,' RIGHT? AND SO, WE KNOW THE STORY. 03:53 WHAT MEDIUM DID SATAN USE TO DECEIVE EVE AND WHAT LIES DID 03:57 SATAN TELL HER? WELL, YOU KNOW, HE APPEARED 04:01 THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF A SERPENT. NOW, THE SERPENT IS JUST ANOTHER 04:05 CREATURE, BUT IT SAYS IT WAS A VERY HYPNOTIC, BEAUTIFUL, 04:08 SUBTLE CREATURE. "NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE 04:11 CUNNING THAN ANY BEAST OF THE FIELD WHICH THE LORD GOD HAD 04:13 MADE...THEN THE SERPENT SAID TO THE WOMAN, 'YOU WILL NOT SURELY 04:18 DIE.'" FIRST QUESTION IN THE BIBLE IS HE QUESTIONED GOD'S 04:22 WORD - 'HATH GOD SAID' - YOU NOTICE THE CYNICISM - 04:25 DOUBTING THE WORD OF GOD. ALL THE SIN IN OUR WORLD TODAY 04:28 COMES FROM THE DEVIL DOUBTING THE WORD OF GOD. 04:30 AND HE SAID, 'YOU'RE NOT REALLY GOING TO DIE. 04:33 DON'T - GOD DIDN'T REALLY MEAN WHAT HE SAID.' AND, BECAUSE OUR 04:35 FIRST PARENTS CHOSE NOT TO BELIEVE GOD'S WORD AND, INSTEAD, 04:39 THEY BELIEVED THE DEVIL, WE'VE GOT ALL THESE PROBLEMS. 04:42 REVELATION 12 - NOTICE, SATAN IS ALSO CALLED 'THAT OLD SERPENT' - 04:47 "...THE DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, THAT SERPENT...CALLED THE DEVIL 04:50 AND SATAN" - SO THERE'S NO QUESTION WHO THE DRAGON, WHO THE 04:53 SERPENT, WHO THE DEVIL - YOU KNOW, THE WORD 'SATAN' MEANS 04:56 'ADVERSARY'. AND, IF YOU TAKE THE WORD 04:59 'DEVIL' AND YOU TAKE OFF THE 'D', WHAT DO YOU HAVE? 05:01 EVIL. EVIL. HE IS CONSUMMATE EVIL. 05:06 AND THEN, FINALLY, THAT FIRST PROPHECY - THE LORD SAYS, THERE 05:09 IN GENESIS 3:15, "I WILL PUT ENMITY BETWEEN YOU AND THE 05:13 WOMAN, AND BETWEEN YOUR SEED AND HER SEED;" AND SO, THROUGH THE 05:16 BOOK OF REVELATION AND ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE, YOU SEE THIS 05:19 CONTEST GOING ON BETWEEN THE SEED OF THE WOMAN - CHRIST'S 05:24 FOLLOWERS - AND - OF COURSE, JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE SEED OF 05:27 THE WOMAN - AND THE DRAGON - THE DEVIL - BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND 05:31 EVIL. YOU'VE ALL HEARD THE FAIRY TALES 05:34 ABOUT THE KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR THAT SAVES THE 05:37 MAIDEN FROM THE DRAGON. KIND OF - ALL THOSE ARE KIND OF 05:41 ROOTED IN SOME TRUTH THAT YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE. 05:43 YOU CAN ALSO SEE IT AGAIN HERE IN REVELATION 12:17 WHERE IT 05:47 TELLS US THAT "THE DRAGON WAS ENRAGED WITH THE WOMAN, AND HE 05:51 WENT TO MAKE WAR WITH THE REST OF HER OFFSPRING," - YOU SEE 05:53 JESUS - GENESIS - TALKED ABOUT THE SEED OF THE WOMAN. 05:56 HERE, YOU GO TO THE END OF THE BIBLE - BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE 05:59 YOU'VE GOT THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT, THE WOMAN, THE SEED OF 06:01 THE WOMAN. NOW YOU GO TO REVELATION, YOU'VE 06:03 GOT THE DRAGON, THE SERPENT, AND THE WOMAN - AND HE'S TRYING TO 06:07 DESTROY THE SEED OF THE WOMAN. WE'LL GET BACK TO 06:10 THAT ON ANOTHER STUDY. WHO DOES HE ESPECIALLY HATE? 06:13 THE DESCENDANTS OF THE WOMAN "WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF 06:16 GOD AND THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS" - THEY'VE GOT THE TESTIMONY OF 06:21 JESUS. AND SO, THE DEVIL HATES PEOPLE 06:24 THAT OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS. SO, WHY WAS EATING A PIECE OF 06:29 FRUIT SUCH A DEADLY OFFENSE? IT'S JUST A PIECE OF FRUIT; WHY 06:33 ALL THE TROUBLE IN THE WORLD FROM EATING THE WRONG THING? 06:36 WELL, BECAUSE, FIRST OF ALL, GOD COMMANDED THEM NOT TO. 06:39 I DID AN AMAZING FACT - YOU KNOW, EVERY WEEK WE DO AMAZING 06:41 FACTS ON OUR RADIO PROGRAM AND I DID AN AMAZING FACT ABOUT THE 06:45 MANCHINEEL TREE - THEY ACTUALLY GROW HERE IN FLORIDA AND AROUND 06:48 THE CARIBBEAN - AND IT'S CALLED 'THE TREE OF DEATH'. 06:53 COLUMBUS CALLED THEM 'DEATH APPLES'. THEY HAVE APPLES AND 06:57 THEY LOOK VERY LUSCIOUS. THEY EVEN SMELL SWEET. 06:59 BUT IF YOU EAT ONE YOU COULD EASILY DIE. 07:02 IT'LL CAUSE - IT'LL BURN YOUR THROAT - YOUR THROAT WOULD SWELL 07:04 UP AND IT CAN CAUSE - IT WILL CAUSE ALL KINDS OF GASTRONOMICAL 07:07 PROBLEMS AND PERMANENT INJURY AND LIVER AND KIDNEY PROBLEMS. 07:10 IF YOU'RE EVEN UNDER THAT TREE WHEN IT'S RAINING, THE SAP FROM 07:14 THE TREE COMING ONTO YOUR SKIN CAN BLISTER YOUR SKIN. 07:17 IT'S A VERY TOXIC TREE. AND THEY'VE GOT THESE SIGNS 07:20 EVERYWHERE - 'WARNING! - STAY AWAY FROM THIS TREE!' 07:24 I READ ABOUT A TOURIST THAT WAS IN SOME CARIBBEAN ISLAND WHERE 07:27 THERE WAS ONE OF THESE TREES - THEY KEEP THEM FOR EROSION ON 07:30 THE COAST - AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE A SIGN. 07:33 AND SHE AND HER FRIEND SAID, 'OH, THAT LOOKS GOOD.' AND, OH, 07:36 THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF MISERABLE PROBLEMS AND PAIN AND SUFFERING 07:40 BECAUSE THEY ATE THIS DEADLY TREE. 07:42 WELL, GOD TOLD ADAM AND EVE NOT TO EAT THE TREE AND, IT WASN'T 07:45 THAT THE FRUIT HURT THEM, IT WAS THE DISOBEDIENCE THAT DID IT. 07:48 YOU SEE, THE BIBLE SAYS, IN ROMANS 6:16, "DO YOU NOT KNOW 07:53 THAT TO WHOM YOU PRESENT YOURSELVES SLAVES [OR SERVANTS] 07:56 TO OBEY, YOU ARE THAT ONE'S SLAVES WHOM YOU OBEY, WHETHER OF 08:00 SIN LEADING TO DEATH, OR OF OBEDIENCE LEADING TO 08:04 RIGHTEOUSNESS." AND, WHEN ADAM AND EVE DECIDED 08:06 TO FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS - OR THE SUGGESTION OF THE SERPENT - THE 08:10 DEVIL, INSTEAD OF GOD, THEY SURRENDERED THE DOMINION OF THIS 08:14 WORLD THAT GOD HAD GIVEN ADAM AND EVE, TO THE ENEMY. 08:18 YOU SEE, ADAM WAS TO HAVE DOMINION OF THE WORLD - AND EVE. 08:21 AND WHEN THEY CHOSE TO LISTEN TO THE DEVIL INSTEAD OF GOD, THEY 08:24 HANDED OVER THE KEYS AND THE DEVIL DECIDED TO CONTINUE HIS 08:28 REBELLION WITH THIS PLANET AS THE BEACHHEAD FOR HIS WAR 08:32 AGAINST GOD. WHAT ARE SOME OF SATAN'S METHODS 08:35 THAT HE USES TO DECEIVE, DISCOURAGE, OR TO DESTROY 08:39 PEOPLE? WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH 08:41 A LIST OF THINGS HERE. FIRST OF ALL, IT SAYS SATAN IS 08:45 THE ONE WHO DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD. SATAN IS A DECEIVER. 08:48 DECEPTION IS THE CO-MINGLING OF TRUTH AND ERROR. 08:51 HE WILL TAKE SOMETHING GOOD AND HE'LL MIX IN SOMETHING BAD. 08:54 AND YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW DEADLY AND DANGEROUS IT IS. 08:58 HE CAME TO JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS AND HE TEMPTED HIM. 09:01 DO YOU THINK THE DEVIL APPEARED AS - WHEN THE DEVIL CAME TO 09:04 TEMPT JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS AND HE'S FASTED 40 DAYS, YOU 09:08 THINK SATAN JUST KIND OF PLOPPED DOWN ON THE GROUND AND HE HAD 09:10 HIS RED LEOTARDS AND HIS, YOU KNOW, HIS GOAT FEET - I NEVER 09:13 DID MENTION THE GOAT FEET. HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE 09:15 DEVIL'S GOT GOAT FEET, RIGHT? I'M BEING SARCASTIC, SORRY. 09:19 AND HE, YOU KNOW, HIS HORNS AND HIS BAT WINGS AND HE SAID, 'I'VE 09:22 GOT A PROPOSITION FOR YOU.' WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ANYBODY THAT 09:24 LOOKED LIKE THAT, THAT CAME WITH A PROPOSITION? 09:28 HOW DO YOU THINK HE APPEARED TO JESUS? 09:31 REMEMBER, WE QUOTED THAT VERSE - HE CAN APPEAR AS AN ANGEL OF 09:33 LIGHT. HE WAS BEING DECEPTIVE. CHRIST WAS THERE IN THE 09:37 WILDERNESS TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL. SATAN TEMPTS. 09:40 NOW, YOU'LL OFTEN SAY, 'JESUS SAVE ME' - AND I ALMOST HAD A 09:44 CAR ACCIDENT BUT JESUS SAVED ME.' REALLY, JESUS PROBABLY DID 09:47 IT THROUGH HIS ANGELS. SOMETIMES YOU'LL SAY 'THE DEVIL 09:50 TEMPTED ME.' I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU REMEMBER A COMEDIAN 09:53 NAMED FLIP WILSON. HE BECAME FAMOUS FOR SAYING, 09:55 'THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT.' THE DEVIL - CAN THE DEVIL MAKE YOU? 10:00 NOT UNLESS YOU'RE DEMON POSSESSED - MOST OF US HAVE TO 10:01 COOPERATE. WE SURRENDER OUR WILLS. 10:04 IF THE DEVIL HAD TAKEN EVE AND HELD HER TO THE GROUND AND 10:07 PUSHED THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT IN HER MOUTH, IT WOULD NOT HAVE 10:09 BEEN A SIN. BUT SHE HAD TO WILLINGLY CHOOSE. 10:13 AND, TYPICALLY WHEN WE SIN, WE ARE CHOOSING TO DO WHAT WE KNOW 10:17 IS NOT RIGHT. SO HE'S A TEMPTER. CAN THE DEVIL WORK MIRACLES? 10:23 REVELATION CHAPTER 16, VERSE 14 - AND OUR SPECIAL EMPHASIS IN 10:27 OUR PROPHECY ENCOUNTER IN REVELATION SAYS, 'THEY ARE THE 10:29 SPIRITS OF DEVILS WORKING MIRACLES. 10:33 SO, CAN THE DEVIL COUNTERFEIT THE MIRACLES OF GOD? 10:36 YOU REMEMBER THE STORY IN THE BIBLE WHEN MOSES CAME BEFORE 10:39 PHARAOH AND SAID, 'LET MY PEOPLE GO' AND TO SHOW THAT GOD WAS 10:42 WITH HIM HE THREW HIS STAFF DOWN AND IT TURNED INTO A SERPENT. 10:45 THE PHARAOH CALLED IN HIS MAGICIANS - THEY THREW DOWN 10:48 THEIR STAFFS - THEY TURNED INTO SERPENTS. 10:51 WAS THAT THE POWER OF GOD OR THE POWER OF THE DEVIL? 10:55 SATAN CAN DO SIGNS AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES. 10:57 SO SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, I LISTEN TO THAT PASTOR BECAUSE HE 11:00 DOES MIRACLES - HE DOES SIGNS AND WONDERS.' IF HE'S NOT 11:04 FOLLOWING THE WORD OF GOD, THOSE MIRACLES CAN BE COUNTERFEITS. 11:07 AND SO, DON'T FORGET THE DEVIL CAN COUNTERFEIT THOSE SIGNS 11:10 AND WONDERS. IN FACT, REVELATION 13:13 - THAT 11:14 SAME CHAPTER WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE MARK OF THE BEAST, IT 11:16 SAYS, "HE PERFORMS GREAT SIGNS, SO THAT HE EVEN MAKES FIRE COME 11:20 DOWN FROM HEAVEN ON THE EARTH IN THE SIGHT OF MEN." 11:24 THE DEVIL DOES HAVE POWER AND SO, OUR DECISION ABOUT FOLLOWING 11:27 JESUS CANNOT BE BASED UPON SIGNS AND WONDERS AND MIRACLES, IT 11:32 NEEDS TO BE BASED UPON 'THUS SAITH THE LORD' - AMEN? 11:35 BECAUSE SATAN, HIMSELF, CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF 11:39 LIGHT. MATTER OF FACT, I BELIEVE THE 11:42 MASTERPIECE - SEE, GOD CAME INTO THE WORLD THROUGH A MAN, 11:47 JESUS, TO TEACH US THE TRUTH. BEFORE THE END OF TIME, I 11:51 THINK SATAN IS GOING TO EITHER THOROUGHLY POSSESS A MAN OR 11:54 IMPERSONATE CHRIST, AND HE'S GOING TO TRY TO DO HIS 11:58 MASTERPIECE PERFORMANCE PRETENDING TO BE CHRIST. 12:02 DOUG: DON'T GO ANYWHERE FRIENDS. 12:04 IN JUST A MOMENT, WE'LL BE BACK TO COMPLETE 12:05 TODAY'S PRESENTATION. 12:07 HAVE YOU EVER HAD FRIENDS ASK YOU IF GOD IS GOOD 12:09 AND IF HE'S LOVING THEN WHY IS THERE EVIL? 12:11 WHY DO THE INNOCENT SUFFER? 12:13 WE HAVE A VERY SPECIAL, POWERFUL DVD DOCUMENTARY 12:17 WE'D LIKE TO SEND YOU FOR FREE. 12:18 IT'S CALLED "THE COSMIC CONFLICT." 12:20 THIS COMPELLING MOVIE TRACES THE ORIGIN OF SIN 12:24 AND TALKS ABOUT LUCIFER'S REBELLION. 12:26 IT HELPS US UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS EVIL IN THE WORLD TODAY 12:29 AND MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW YOU CAN HAVE VICTORY OVER SIN. 12:32 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE YOU SCREEN 12:35 AND ASK FOR OFFER #809 12:38 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS, 12:40 AND AFTER YOU WATCH THIS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE 12:42 PLEASE SURE AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND. 12:44 SO, HOW ABOUT WE GET BACK TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION 12:47 AND LEARN SOME MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD. 12:51 JESUS WARNED US, IN MATTHEW 7, BEWARE OF THE DEVIL THAT HE IS 12:55 AS - IT SAYS, 'THESE FALSE PROPHETS WHO WILL COME TO YOU IN 12:59 SHEEP'S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES.' 13:04 AND, I THINK WE ALL KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME PASTORS AND 13:06 EVANGELISTS OUT THERE THAT THEY PUT ON A GOOD SHOW, BUT ON THE 13:10 INSIDE IT WAS ALL ABOUT THEM - IT WAS ALL ABOUT GAINING MONEY 13:14 OR WEALTH OR FAME, BUT THE MINISTERS OF CHRIST ARE GOING TO 13:18 LIFT UP CHRIST AND HIS WORD. REVELATION 12:10 - ANOTHER THING 13:22 THE DEVIL DOES - HE'S CALLED 'THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN'. 13:26 HE'S ALWAYS CASTING INNUENDO. YOU REMEMBER THE STORY IN THE 13:29 BIBLE WHERE, AT THE SUPPER, MARY GAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL GIFT TO 13:33 JESUS AND SHE ANOINTED HIS FEET - ANOINTED HIS HEAD AND HIS FEET 13:36 WITH THIS OIL AND CRIED AND WASHED HIS FEET WITH HER TEARS. 13:40 YOU REMEMBER THE STORY? AND JUDAS SAW HER GENEROSITY 13:43 AND IT - IT CONVICTED HIS GREED, BECAUSE HE WAS A THIEF, AND HE 13:46 SAID, 'WHAT A TERRIBLE WASTE OF MONEY. 13:49 ALL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SOLD AND GIVEN TO THE POOR.' 13:51 HE BEGAN TO ACCUSE HER - THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF THE DEVIL. 13:54 YOU REMEMBER WHEN SATAN, IN THE BIBLE, IN THE BOOK OF JOB, SATAN 13:56 APPEARS TO THE LORD AND SAYS, 'OH, THE ONLY REASON JOB SERVES 13:59 YOU IS BECAUSE YOU'VE HEDGED HIM IN.' AND YOU CAN READ IN THE 14:02 BOOK OF ZECHARIAH HOW THE DEVIL IS THERE - HE'S POINTING TO 14:05 JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST AND HE'S ACCUSING HIS DIRTY GARMENTS. 14:08 SATAN IS ALWAYS ACCUSING GOD'S PEOPLE. 14:11 JESUS CAME TO RESURRECT MOSES AND THE DEVIL SAID, 'YOU CAN'T 14:14 HAVE HIM, HE SINNED. AND MICHAEL SAID, 'THE LORD 14:16 REBUKE THEE.' SO THE DEVIL IS ALWAYS - HE'S OUT TO GET US - 14:20 HE'S TO ACCUSE US BEFORE GOD - THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN. 14:24 YOU PROBABLY KNOW SOME PEOPLE LIKE THAT, RIGHT? 14:27 ALWAYS GOSSIPING AND PUTTING OTHER PEOPLE DOWN - THAT'S NOT 14:29 THE SPIRIT OF GOD. SOMETHING ELSE WE LEARNED ABOUT 14:32 HIM, JESUS SAID, 'HE IS A MURDERER FROM THE BEGINNING.' 14:37 HOW POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE ARE SATAN'S TEMPTATIONS 14:40 AND HIS STRATEGIES? THAT'S OUR NEXT QUESTION. 14:43 WELL, IT SAYS THERE'LL BE FALSE CHRISTS AND FALSE PROPHETS. 14:46 THEY WILL RISE AND THEY'RE GOING TO SHOW GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS 14:50 TO DECEIVE MANY. WE ALSO JUST READ ABOUT THAT - 14:52 SIGNS AND WONDERS - DEVILS - IN REVELATION. 14:56 IT GOES ON TO SAY, IN MATTHEW 24, 'IF IT WERE POSSIBLE THEY'D 14:58 DECEIVE EVEN THE VERY ELECT.' "BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT;" - PETER 15:03 SAYS - 1 PETER 5:8 - "BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS 15:07 ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR." 15:11 I REMEMBER ABOUT A YEAR AGO, KAREN AND I WERE IN SOUTH AFRICA 15:14 WITH PASTOR ROSS AND HIS WIFE, AND WE WENT TO THIS PARK AND WE 15:18 SAW THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRIDE OF WHITE LIONS. AND THEY'RE 15:23 BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT BUT, BOY THEY WERE VICIOUS WHEN THEY FED 15:25 THEM. WE GOT TO WATCH THEM WHEN THEY ATE. THEY WEREN'T VERY - 15:28 YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T SHARE VERY WELL - LIONS - AND LIONS USE 15:32 DECEPTION WHEN THEY HUNT. THEY GET - YOU KNOW, ONE LION 15:35 GOES AROUND BEHIND THE GAZELLE OR THE ZEBRA AND THE OTHER ONE 15:38 ROARS AND THEY'D GO RUNNING OFF INTO THE MOUTH OF THE LIONESSES. 15:41 THE DEVIL USES DECEPTION - HE'S PROWLING ALL THE TIME - PACING - 15:46 TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO DEVOUR. IT SAYS, 'BE SOBER, 15:49 BE VIGILANT' - AND RESIST HIM STEADFAST IN THE FAITH. HE'S 15:54 SEEKING WHOM HE MIGHT DEVOUR. NOW THERE ARE THREE PRINCIPLE 15:58 AREAS OF TEMPTATION - THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT - YOU'VE GOT THE 16:02 LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES, THE PRIDE OF LIFE. 16:04 THESE ARE THE SAME THREE AREAS WHERE JESUS WAS TEMPTED. 16:08 HE CAME TO CHRIST, HE SAID, 'IF YOU'RE THE SON OF GOD, COMMAND 16:11 THAT THESE STONES BECOME BREAD.' - THIS IS A PHYSICAL TEMPTATION. 16:15 YOU MIGHT BE THINKING, 'OH, JESUS HAS NEVER BEEN TEMPTED 16:17 LIKE ME. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE WITH 16:18 CIGARETTES.' OR MAYBE HE DIDN'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE - MAYBE YOU'VE 16:21 GOT A CRACK ADDICTION - IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS - IT 16:24 MIGHT BE FOOD - WHATEVER YOUR ADDICTION IS. 16:26 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT YOU'VE GOT THE LUST OF THE FLESH - 16:29 PHYSICAL ADDICTION - WHATEVER IT IS, JESUS GOT THE VICTORY OVER 16:32 THAT. YOU CAN GET THE VICTORY 16:34 THROUGH CHRIST. THAT WAS ONE CATEGORY. 16:37 JESUS ANSWERED WITH THE WORD OF GOD, 'IT IS WRITTEN, 'MAN SHALL 16:40 NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM 16:43 THE MOUTH OF GOD.'' SO, IN THE WORD OF GOD IS WHERE YOU FIND 16:46 THE ANTIDOTE FOR THESE TEMPTATIONS. 16:49 THERE'S POWER IN THE WORD OF GOD. 16:50 THE WORLD CAME INTO EXISTENCE THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD. 16:53 AND SO, WHEN WE SPEAK AND CLAIM THE PROMISES OF GOD, HE GIVES US 16:56 VICTORY. AMEN. 16:57 THEN THE DEVIL TOOK HIM TO THE HOLY CITY AND HE SET HIM ON THE 17:00 PINNACLE OF THE TEMPLE AND HE SAID, 'IF YOU ARE THE SON OF 17:05 GOD, THROW YOURSELF DOWN, FOR IT IS WRITTEN' - WHOA, WHAT? 17:08 NOW THE DEVIL'S QUOTING THE BIBLE. 17:10 YOU MEAN THE DEVIL READS THE BIBLE? 17:11 I THOUGHT THE DEVIL WAS AFRAID OF THE BIBLE. 17:13 YOU THINK OWNING A BIBLE'S GOING TO SCARE THE DEVIL. 17:16 'PASTOR DOUG, THE DEVIL WON'T BOTHER ME. 17:17 I'VE GOT A BIBLE RIGHT BY MY NIGHTSTAND. 17:20 I NEVER READ IT, BUT IT'S THERE.' IT'S LIKE MY FRIEND WHO 17:22 HUNG A CROSS FROM HIS MIRROR, I SAID, 'WHAT'S THAT FOR?' 17:25 I SAID, 'YOU'RE NOT VERY RELIGIOUS.' HE SAID,' 'I DON'T 17:26 WANT TO HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN I'M DRIVING DRUNK SO I HANG MY CROSS 17:29 UP THERE.' GOOD LUCK CHARM - 'NO, I DON'T TAKE UP MY CROSS, 17:33 BUT I HANG IT ON MY MIRROR' - AS THOUGH THERE'S SOME VALUE IN 17:36 THAT. THAT'S NOT WHAT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU. 17:38 OWNING A BIBLE'S NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU. 17:40 'THY WORD I HAVE HIDDEN IN MY HEART THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN 17:44 AGAINST YOU.' YOU'VE GOT TO READ IT AND THEN YOU QUOTE IT BACK TO 17:47 THE DEVIL. SO HE'S QUOTING 17:48 THE BIBLE TO JESUS. 'IT IS WRITTEN, 'HE'LL GIVE HIS 17:53 ANGEL CHARGE OVER YOU.'' HE'S QUOTING - OR MISQUOTING, 17:56 ACTUALLY, PSALM 91. HE DIDN'T QUOTE THE WHOLE THING. 17:58 JESUS CAME BACK AND 'OH, IT IS WRITTEN, 'YOU SHALL NOT TEMPT 18:02 THE LORD YOUR GOD.'' BY THE WAY, ALL THREE TIMES, WHEN JESUS MET 18:05 THE TEMPTATIONS OF THE DEVIL, HE QUOTES FROM THE BOOK 18:07 DEUTERONOMY. SO, OLD TESTAMENT WAS GOOD 18:11 ENOUGH FOR JESUS, IT STILL SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH 18:12 FOR US TODAY, TOO, RIGHT? ALONG WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT. 18:15 BUT DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR OLD TESTAMENT. 18:18 AGAIN, THE DEVIL TOOK HIM TO AN EXCEEDING HIGH MOUNTAIN AND HE 18:21 SHOWS HIM ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD IN ALL THEIR GLORY. 18:24 HE DOESN'T SHOW THE SLUMS, HE DOESN'T SHOW THE PROBLEMS, HE 18:26 DOESN'T SHOW THE TRAFFIC JAMS. HE SAYS, 'ALL THIS I'LL GIVE 18:29 YOU IF YOU JUST FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP ME.' 18:31 NOW THE DEVIL IS SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS. 18:33 WHAT DID HE WANT? WORSHIP. 18:35 HE WANTS THE WORSHIP - IF JESUS WOULD WORSHIP HIM HE WOULD 18:37 BE GOD. HE SAID, 'YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE. 18:40 YOU'VE COME TO DIE - YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIE, JUST BOW DOWN AND 18:43 WORSHIP ME. I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.' 18:46 AND WHAT DID JESUS SAY? "GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN. 18:50 YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD GOD AND HIM ONLY SHALL YOU SERVE. 18:53 YOU SHALL NOT HAVE OTHER GODS." AND THE DEVIL LEFT HIM FOR A 18:57 SEASON. THE BIBLE SAYS, 'RESIST THE 18:59 DEVIL AND HE'LL FLEE FROM YOU.' AND YOU READ, AGAIN, IN 19:02 EPHESIANS 6:11, "PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD THAT YOU 19:06 MIGHT BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL." 19:09 GOD KNOWS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BATTLES AND WE NEED TO BE ARMED. 19:12 YOU NEED TO RESIST. YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED, EVERY 19:14 DAY, TO DENY SELF AND SAY 'YES' TO JESUS. 19:16 AND, THE MORE YOU LOVE JESUS, THE EASIER IT IS TO OBEY HIM AND 19:21 RESIST THE DEVIL. AMEN. 19:23 BECAUSE THE DEVIL WILL ALWAYS APPEAL TO YOUR SELFISHNESS. 19:26 AND, AGAIN, IT SAYS IN EPHESIANS 6:17, "...THE SWORD OF THE 19:29 SPIRIT, WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD;" 'THE WORD OF GOD IS QUICK 19:33 AND POWERFUL AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD. 19:36 REVELATION - JESUS IS PICTURED, IN CHAPTER 19, COMING WITH A 19:39 SWORD COMING OUT OF HIS MOUTH, MEANING THE WORD OF GOD IS IN 19:42 HIS MOUTH. THERE YOU'VE GOT THAT VERSE IN 19:44 HEBREWS 4, VERSE 12, "FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND 19:48 POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD," - YOU READ THE 19:51 WORD, IT'LL CONVICT YOU FROM SIN. 19:53 BUT YOU ALSO FIND PROMISES AND POWER IN THE WORD TO RESIST 19:56 TEMPTATION. I THINK IT WAS D.L. 19:59 MOODY THAT SAID, 'THE BIBLE WILL KEEP YOU FROM SIN OR SIN WILL 20:01 KEEP YOU FROM THE BIBLE.' SO, IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING WITH 20:04 TEMPTATION, THE DEVIL HATES WHEN PEOPLE ARE ON THEIR KNEES AND IN 20:08 THE WORD. AMEN? 20:09 THEREFORE, SUBMIT YOURSELF TO GOD - GREAT PROMISE IN THE BOOK 20:12 OF JAMES CHAPTER 4 - "SUBMIT TO GOD. 20:15 RESIST THE DEVIL" - YOU CAN'T RESIST THE DEVIL UNTIL YOU 20:17 SURRENDER TO GOD - "SUBMIT TO GOD. 20:20 RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. 20:22 DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND HE WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU." 20:26 AMEN. AMEN? 20:28 AMEN. WHO MAKES THE FINAL, COMPLETE 20:29 ERADICATION OF SIN FROM THE UNIVERSE A CERTAINTY? 20:34 1 JOHN 3:8 - "FOR THIS IS THE PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS 20:37 MANIFESTED, THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL." 20:41 JESUS IS GOING TO COMPLETELY ERASE WHAT THE DEVIL HAS DONE. 20:45 HE BEGAN ON THE CROSS. HE WILL COMPLETE IT WITH HIS 20:48 COMING AND THE GREAT JUDGMENT, BUT THE LORD IS GOING TO - 20:51 AND HE CAN GIVE YOU COMPLETE RECOVERY IN YOUR LIFE TOO. 20:55 I HAVEN'T MET A PERSON WHO HAD A SIN THAT WAS TOO BIG FOR JESUS. 20:58 I HAVE KNOWN PEOPLE THAT HAVE GOTTEN THE VICTORY OVER ALCOHOL 21:01 AND CIGARETTES AND DRUG AND ABUSE AND ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS 21:05 BECAUSE THEY GOT A NEW HEART AND THEY BECAME A NEW CREATURE. 21:09 AND WHAT HE DID FOR THEM HE CAN DO FOR YOU. 21:10 AMEN. DON'T STOP BELIEVING 21:12 THAT GOD IS MORE POWERFUL. AND, AGAIN, IT GOES ON TO SAY IN 21:16 HEBREWS 2, VERSE 14, "INASMUCH THEN AS THE CHILDREN HAVE 21:20 PARTAKEN OF FLESH AND BLOOD, HE (JESUS) HIMSELF LIKEWISE SHARED 21:24 IN THE SAME, THAT THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM WHO HAD THE 21:28 POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS, THE DEVIL." 21:31 THROUGH THE DEATH OF CHRIST HE IS GOING TO DESTROY THE POWER OF 21:34 SATAN AND WHAT HE'S DONE. SO WHAT IS IT THAT FOREVER 21:38 SETTLES THE HORRIBLE PROBLEM OF SIN? AND WILL SIN EVER RISE UP 21:42 AGAIN THE SECOND TIME? NO. 21:46 WHAT SETTLES IT IS THE SACRIFICE OF JESUS. 21:49 AND YOU CAN READ IN THE BOOK OF NAHUM - A LITTLE BOOK IN THE 21:51 BIBLE, BUT IT'S GOT A GREAT PROMISE THERE - CHAPTER 1, VERSE 21:54 9 "...AFFLICTION (SIN) WILL NOT RISE UP A SECOND TIME." 21:59 AMEN. YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS ROSE FROM 22:00 THE DEAD, DID HE STILL HAVE THE NAIL SCARS IN HIS HANDS? 22:02 YES. IT'S LIKE THAT VERSE IN 22:05 ZECHARIAH, 'AND ONE SHALL SAY UNTO HIM, 'WHAT ARE THESE 22:08 WOUNDS IN YOUR HANDS?'' SOME OF THESE OLD TESTAMENT 22:11 CHARACTERS, THEY MAY GET THERE AND SAY, 'WHAT HAPPENED, LORD? 22:14 WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.' WHEN JESUS ROSE, HE STILL HAD THE SCARS. 22:18 AND, THROUGH ETERNITY, WHEN WE SEE THE SCARS IN HIS HANDS, 22:20 WE'LL SEE HOW MUCH HE PAID THAT WE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN. 22:23 THE UNIVERSE WILL NEVER WANT TO REPEAT THE EXPERIMENT OF 22:26 SELFISHNESS AND SIN AGAIN. IT WILL BE FOREVER CURED. 22:30 YOU'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT AGAIN. 22:32 THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL APPEAL IN THE BOOK OF EZEKIEL 18, VERSE 22:35 30, "REPENT AND TURN FROM ALL OF YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS, SO THAT 22:41 INIQUITY WILL NOT BE YOUR RUIN. 22:43 CAST AWAY FROM YOU ALL THE TRANSGRESSIONS WHICH YOU HAVE 22:46 COMMITTED, AND GET YOURSELVES A NEW HEART" - HE SAYS, 'I'M 22:49 OFFERING IT TO YOU' - "AND A NEW SPIRIT. 22:51 FOR WHY SHOULD YOU DIE, O HOUSES OF ISRAEL?" 22:54 MOSES - HE SAID, 'I'M SETTING BEFORE YOU LIFE AND GOOD, 22:57 BLESSING AND DEATH' - 'LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING' - 23:01 YOU CHOOSE - 'CHOOSE LIFE,' HE SAID. 23:03 THE DEVIL CAME INTO THE WORLD AND HE BROUGHT DEATH AND SIN AND 23:06 SUFFERING. GOD HAS NO PLEASURE IN THE DEATH OF ANYONE. 23:10 YOU KNOW, I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY YEARS AGO, ABOUT A FATHER 23:14 THAT WAS SAILING THROUGH SOME WARM CARIBBEAN WATER - JUST A 23:17 FATHER AND TWO BOYS ON AN EXCURSION. 23:20 HE WAS A GOOD SAILOR AND HE TOOK HIS BOYS ALONG - TEENAGE BOYS - 23:23 AND, AT ONE POINT, THEY WERE GOING THROUGH SOME ISLANDS - MY 23:26 DAD - I USED TO LIVE IN MIAMI - HE'D TAKE US ON THE BOAT THROUGH 23:28 THE ISLANDS DOWN THERE IN THE CARIBBEAN. 23:30 AND THE FATHER TOLD THE BOYS - THEY'RE ON A SAILBOAT - HE SAID, 23:33 'NOW, WE'RE GOING BY A SECTION OF WATERS - THERE'S A CHICKEN 23:37 SLAUGHTERHOUSE ON THAT ISLAND OVER THERE AND THERE'S A LOT OF 23:39 SHARKS AND THEY'RE VERY VICIOUS BECAUSE THEY'VE GOTTEN THE TASTE 23:42 OF BLOOD. DON'T FALL IN THE WATER HERE. 23:45 THERE'S PLACES YOU CAN SNORKEL AND DIVE AND IT'S GREAT, BUT 23:47 DON'T GO IN THE WATER HERE.' THE BOYS, THEY HADN'T SEEN ANY 23:52 SHARKS AND THEY WERE RUNNING AROUND PLAYING ON THE DECK OF 23:54 THE SHIP AND ONE OF THEM - WRESTLING WITH HIS BROTHER - HE 23:57 GRABBED HIS T-SHIRT AND HE STARTED TO TUMBLE OVER AND HE 23:59 PULLED HIS BROTHER WITH HIM. 24:01 THEY BOTH WENT SPLASH OFF INTO THE WARM CARIBBEAN WATERS. 24:05 WELL, THE FATHER HEARD THE SPLASH AND HE WENT RUNNING UP ON 24:07 DECK AND, OF COURSE, THE BOAT IS MOVING ALONG, IT'S JUST SAILING 24:10 SLOWLY, AND HE DROPPED THE SAIL AND HE DID WHAT HE COULD TO STOP 24:13 THE BOAT AND HE LOOKED OFF AND HE SAW HIS BOYS - IT WAS A CALM 24:16 DAY - HE SAW HIS BOYS OFF THERE PUSHING AND SPLASHING AND RIGHT 24:20 AT THAT POINT, THE FATHER, FOR JUST A MOMENT HE SAW A DORSAL 24:23 FIN POP OVER THE SURFACE. FROM HIS VANTAGE IN THE BOAT HE 24:27 COULD SEE IT, BUT THEY COULDN'T SEE IT. 24:29 AND HE SAID, 'BOYS, THERE'S SHARKS! 24:31 GET QUICKLY AND CALMLY BACK TO THE BOAT.' THE BOYS LOOKED AT 24:35 EACH OTHER AND THEY SAID, 'OH MAN, DAD IS TRYING TO SCARE US. 24:39 WE'VE BEEN SAILING FOR DAYS, WE HAVE NOT SEEN A SINGLE SHARK. 24:42 HE'S JUST' - THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE IT. 24:44 AND THEN THEY SAID, 'OKAY, HELP, SHARK! SHARK!' 24:47 AND THEY STARTED TO PRETEND AND THEY'RE SWIMMING VERY SLOWLY 24:49 BACK TO THE BOAT. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LIKE 5O YARDS 24:51 AWAY AND THE FATHER SAW THE SHARKS BEGINNING TO GATHER. 24:56 HE COULD SEE UP IN THE BOAT - THE SHARKS WERE UNDERNEATH THE 24:58 SURFACE AND THEY WERE TIGHTENING THEIR CIRCLE. 25:02 AND, YOU KNOW THE WAY A SHARK WORKS, IT'LL CONTINUE TO CLOSE 25:04 THE CIRCLE AND IT GETS CLOSER - AND ONE OF THEM, IT EVENTUALLY 25:06 HAS THE COURAGE TO COME IN AND BITE. 25:08 AND ONCE THEY TASTE BLOOD, THEY THEN GO INTO A FRENZY AND THEY 25:12 CAN SMELL ONE DROP OF BLOOD IN LIKE 38,000 OR MILLION GALLONS 25:16 OF WATER - IT'S PHENOMENAL. BUT HE SAW THEM CLOSING THEIR 25:21 CIRCLE AND HE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS JUST A WHOLE HERD OF 25:24 SHARKS OUT THERE THAT WERE GOING TO COME IN. 25:26 HE WAS GOING TO LOSE HIS BOYS. 25:28 AND, IN A DESPERATE, FINAL MEASURE TO SAVE HIS BOYS, THE 25:31 FATHER RAN BELOW DECK, HE WENT TO THE GALLEY, HE GRABBED A 25:34 KNIFE, HE RAN UP ON TOP OF THE BOAT, HE CUT HIS WRISTS, HE DOVE 25:38 IN THE WATER AND HE SWAM IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. 25:43 ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE BOYS SAW, AS THE WATER BEGAN TO CHURN AND 25:45 TURN RED OFF IN THIS OTHER DIRECTION AND - NOW HERE'S THE 25:50 QUESTION: IF THOSE BOYS DECIDE TO STAY IN THE WATER, IS THERE 25:54 ANYTHING MORE THEIR FATHER CAN DO FOR THEM? AFTER GOD GAVE HIS 26:00 SON AND HE POURED OUT HIS BLOOD TO SAVE US FROM THE DEVIL, IF WE 26:04 CHOOSE TO STAY IN THE WORLD AND IN SIN, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT 26:07 HIM TO GIVE THAN HIS LIFE - TO SAVE YOU? 26:15 ANNOUNCER: DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S LIFE-CHANGING 26:17 FREE RESOURCE. 26:18 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, YOU CAN 26:21 DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR COMPUTER OR 26:23 MOBILE DEVICE. 26:24 TO GET YOUR DIGITAL COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, SIMPLY TEXT 26:28 THE KEYWORD ON YOUR SCREEN TO 40544 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS 26:32 SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN. 26:34 AND BE SURE TO SELECT THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OPTION ON 26:37 THE REQUEST PAGE. 26:38 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD WITH 26:41 AMAZING FACTS WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT, AND 26:44 MOST IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 26:49 ANNOUNCER: WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW GOD'S PLAN FOR OUR BROKEN 26:52 WORLD AS REVEALED IN BIBLE PROPHECY? 26:55 WANT PRACTICAL, TRUSTED SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR 26:57 BIGGEST CHALLENGES? 26:59 FRESHLY UPDATED AND REDESIGNED, AMAZING FACTS BIBLE STUDY GUIDES 27:03 PROVIDE 27 BIBLE-BASED TOPICAL LESSONS WITH BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS 27:07 AND STRAIGHTFORWARD ANSWERS THAT ARE ENLIGHTENING, ENCOURAGING, 27:11 AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND. 27:13 EACH STUDY GUIDE LEADS YOU STEP-BY-STEP TO REAL, 27:16 RELEVANT BIBLE ANSWERS FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS IN YOUR 27:19 LIFE: HOW CAN I HAVE BETTER HEALTH AND RELATIONSHIPS? 27:23 WHEN AND HOW WILL JESUS COME AGAIN? 27:26 AND SO MUCH MORE. 27:28 DON'T LEAVE THE FUTURE TO CHANCE, TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE 27:32 WITH TRUTHS FROM THE AMAZING FACTS BIBLE STUDY GUIDES. 27:36 ORDER YOUR COMPLETE SET TODAY BY VISITING AFBOOKSTORE.COM, 27:40 OR BY CALLING 800-538-7275. 27:45 ♪♪♪ 27:52 ANNOUNCER: DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S FREE OFFER. 27:55 IT'S SURE TO BE A BLESSING. 27:56 AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT 27:58 AS WE TAKE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE WORLD. 28:02 WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US NEXT WEEK 28:04 AS WE DELVE DEEP INTO THE WORD OF GOD 28:06 TO EXPLORE MORE AMAZING FACTS. 28:09 ♪♪♪ 28:19 ♪♪♪ 28:24 ANNOUNCER: THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF 28:27 THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. |
