00:15 Like to welcome you today to Battles of Faith.
00:17 My name is David Shin I'm here with Steve Wohlberg, 00:19 who is a speaker director of White Horse Media based in 00:22 Fresno, California. He is the author of several books and 00:25 this is a series of 13 in which we've been delving into 00:29 supernatural from a Biblical perspective and like to 00:32 welcome you here to our program again. 00:34 Thank you David. So, as a pleasure 00:35 talking with you. Now to start out in such a stage for us, 00:39 I've grown up as a young person in the 21st century 00:43 and 20th century and from an imperious stand point 00:46 of view, very scientific stand point of view, but 00:48 now as we've discussed in this program there is 00:51 scientific data supporting the existence of 00:54 something beyond our five senses, something 00:57 beyond what we can see here, smell, taste and 01:00 today we are gonna be talking little bit about 01:03 what is on the other side and identify exactly what 01:06 the spiritual forces are that are babbling and 01:09 drooling for our tension and argue away our lives. 01:13 That's right, there is lot out there. There is 01:15 certainly as lot going on, as we talked about in 01:18 previous programs. I'm a strong believer in the 01:20 supernatural, but I believe there are 01:22 two sides out there. There is a good side and bad side 01:25 and many people don't seem to really grasp that 01:28 at least especially according to what the 01:29 Bible actually says. It's no secret that in the world of 01:33 witchcraft and the occult and the spiritualist world. 01:37 People that are mediums and clairvoyance and 01:39 psychics they are seeking supernatural power and 01:43 they are finding that, they are finding those 01:45 supernatural powers. Those that are mediums 01:49 believe that the spirits that are out there are the 01:51 spirits of the dead. Those who are into witchcraft 01:55 and wicker and the whole occult movement along 01:58 those lines they believe that the spirits of nature 02:01 are out there that in their rituals and their 02:04 incantations and their magic circles that they 02:06 can contact the Spirit of the North, the Spirit of 02:09 the South, the Spirit of the wind and the fire and 02:11 the trees and forests. They believe in that they are 02:14 God's and Goddesses and deities out there many 02:17 different names the list is endless. Hence, and 02:21 some people believe that the spirit of your dead 02:23 dog or your dead cat or your dead horse there also 02:26 out there on the other side. If they can possibly 02:28 communicate with you after they've barked their 02:31 last bark. So there is a lot of opinions about what is 02:36 out there in the supernatural world and 02:39 more and more people are seeking for that, they are 02:41 searching for some kind of contact with the other 02:46 side. I have in my hand a book written by a best 02:49 selling author, her name is Sylvia Browne. 02:51 She is a modern medium. She has been on 02:53 television many times. The Montel Williams 02:56 Show hosts her or actually has her as a guest 02:59 a lot and she is New York Times author and she tells 03:03 a story in one of her books about her first 03:06 encounter with the other side and this is what she 03:09 said is quite fascinating. The chapter is called 03:11 Ghosts, I've known and loved. She says many of 03:14 you know the story of my first one on one clears the 03:17 bell no way around it Spiritual Encounter, 03:21 Spirit Encounter. I was eight years old, I was 03:24 alone in my bed one night when a glow of light cut 03:27 through the darkness and the slightly vague form of 03:31 a tall slender woman with long black hairs step 03:35 toward me from a core of light and the voice said 03:39 don't be afraid, I've come from God and then this 03:45 little girl she says, I ran screaming to my 03:48 grandmother after I saw this apparition in my 03:51 room and then she said my grandmother calmly 03:53 explained to me that I had just received a visit from 03:56 my Spirit Guide her name was Elena, but I changed 04:00 her name to Francine for no apparent reason and 04:03 like all spirit guides she has been my closest, 04:06 closest companion and advisor every minute of 04:09 everyday of my life from that time until this time. 04:14 And so this is just a sample she was eight 04:17 years old. Ghost appeared in her bedroom and she 04:20 believes that, that Ghost was the Spirit of the dead 04:23 person, who had now come back to guide her as 04:26 a Familiar Spirit and that's what launched her 04:29 on her career into today's limelight as one of the 04:33 most well known and respected mediums of the 04:38 21st century. Now it's amazing to me David that 04:42 when something happens from the other side, some 04:45 ghost or some spirit that people just they don't 04:49 question whether the spirit might be tricking 04:52 them, whether the spirit might be deceiving them, 04:55 she just assume that because that ghost said 04:58 I've come from God that it must be true and I think 05:01 there is a lot of a gullibility and naivety in 05:07 the general population that when something 05:10 supernatural happens and some spiritual ghost or 05:12 whatever happens that they trust that it really is 05:16 who it claims to be and that is something that 05:19 I think is very unfortunate and very dangerous, and 05:23 just like we often you know when people tell us 05:27 things we don't always believe what they say. 05:29 Why shouldn't we question as well the 05:32 voices and the impressions and the 05:35 apparitions and the phantoms and whatever 05:37 else goes bump in the night that comes from the 05:40 other side. We should be questioning those as well. 05:44 So, the common element among whether they be 05:47 witches, wicked, occult is medium psychics is that 05:50 they all have an adherence or recognition 05:55 that there is a force on the other side. 05:56 That there is something out there. 05:57 And I think it's almost for those of us that haven't 06:00 dabbled in this or those of us that come from a 06:03 world view that, that doesn't believe in the 06:05 supernatural. I think one of the tendencies is when 06:07 you recognize that there is a force on the other 06:09 side, the assumption is, oh! it must be okay, 06:11 because it's there, because it exist, that's right, 06:14 it must be, it must be true in that regard. 06:16 That's right people trust, they trust the miracles. 06:19 Okay. They trust what they are being told and that's not a 06:24 safe thing, safe thing to do. It reminds me of the 06:26 story and I've got some of the unfortunate details in 06:31 front of me maybe you remember Scott Peterson 06:34 that name ring the bells, Scott Peterson. 06:36 Laci Peterson. Yeah, Laci Peterson's 06:38 husband March 16, 2005, 32 year old Scott Peterson 06:45 was sentenced to death for murdering his 06:47 pregnant wife Laci. Before Laci's mysterious 06:51 disappearance on Christmas Eve 2005. 06:54 Mr. Peterson appear to be a friendly, a friendly man, 06:57 his wife was expecting a baby and all family 07:00 members you know looked at him and thought 07:01 hey this is a happy Dad to be. He took his wife out, 07:04 he took her to dinner, he conducted himself in a 07:07 very friendly way like a man that was excited 07:10 about being a father, who have during the murder 07:13 trial even one of the jurists commenting upon 07:17 Mr. Peterson and she had been dialoguing with him 07:20 actually behind the scenes that he was polite and 07:22 friendly. Yet this man underneath, cordial, 07:27 friendly, happy. Exterior was the darkest heart, an 07:32 evil heart, a wicked heart that did the unimaginable. 07:35 He actually murdered his pregnant wife and 07:38 of course the baby as well in April 14, 2003. 07:42 Her unrecognizable coats washed up on a shore, 07:47 shoreline near San Francisco and when all 07:49 the evidence was put together even though 07:51 Mr. Peterson look like a nice guy. There was 07:56 something very, very dark underneath his cordial 07:59 exterior and he was a murderer and what we see 08:03 in the visible world, these kind of things should 08:06 teach us a lesson that the same thing can happen in 08:09 the invisible world, that is because it ghost appeared 08:12 to an eight year old woman, eight year old 08:14 girl and said I've come from God and I'm 08:17 wrapped in a robe of light that doesn't mean that, 08:21 that are really is the spirit that comes from God. 08:23 There is a verse in second Corinthians chapter 11, 08:25 verse 14, that says that Satan himself can 08:29 transform himself into an angel of light and we're 08:33 gonna be discussing more in detail about that 08:35 personality in the future program, okay. And, what 08:39 I like to do now David is go to the Bible and take a 08:43 look at Revelation chapter 5 and start 08:46 zeroing in on what the Bible says about who is 08:48 out there, who is in the invisible world, invisible 08:51 world. Revelation chapter 5, verse 11, maybe I'll let 08:55 you read this text I've been reading a lot of 08:57 verses, so give you a chance to take a look at 09:00 that verse, Revelation 5:11, Revelation 5:11, right. 09:03 Then I looked and I heard the voice of many angels 09:05 around the throne, the living creatures and the 09:08 elders; and the same number of them was ten 09:10 thousand times ten thousands and thousands 09:13 of thousands, that's line. Okay and here talks about 09:15 many angels. The book of Revelation was written by 09:18 John. He was taken in a vision and he looked into 09:21 the future and he saw many things and one of 09:23 the things that he saw was angels. There are angels 09:27 on the other side and the angels that are referred to 09:30 in this verse are Holy Angels, they're good 09:32 Angels, they're angels that are on God side. 09:35 In chapter 5, verse 12, they are singing a song or 09:38 they're praising, they're praising Jesus and they're 09:40 saying with the loud voice, where is the lamb 09:43 so they are God's angels, they are on his side. 09:47 And there is lot of verses in the Bible to talk about 09:48 angels. Angels are not human beings, they are 09:51 not the dead, they are not the spirits of our departed 09:55 or daily departed, who have passed on. They are 09:58 a unique specific distinct creation an order of being 10:02 that is not us. In the book of Genesis at the very beginning 10:06 of the Bible, angels guarded the gate when 10:08 Adam and Eve sent they have to live and they 10:10 would cheer up them, they are with flaming 10:12 sorts, they were not people. All throughout 10:14 the Bible, they appear at different times. 10:18 In the New Testament, an angel appeared to the 10:20 version Mary and told her that she was gonna have a 10:22 baby and that baby was going to be Jesus himself. 10:25 When Jesus rose from the dead there were angels 10:28 there at the tomb, one of them rolled away the 10:30 stone, another one was on the inside and told the 10:33 woman that he has been resurrected from the dead 10:35 and now here in Revelation we see a many angels 10:39 around, round about God's throne and there is 10:42 a lot of them as you mention it says 10 10:44 thousand times and 10 thousand and thousands 10:47 of thousands now I don't know if you can do the 10:49 math in your head with the calculator, but that's a 10:52 lot of angels. So we know that on the other side out 10:56 there, there are Holy angels, they are invisible, 11:00 they protect us, they guard us against the 11:03 forces of Evil and they are out there. 11:07 And this is also saying that the assumption also 11:09 is that not only there are millions of them, but 11:11 these beings are very powerful, they have 11:14 supernatural power. That's right. 11:16 And their I think throughout scripture it 11:18 shows that in comparison to human beings they 11:20 have considerable amount more powerful than we 11:22 do is that, is that is a sentence to form. 11:25 That's right, there is no question about that they 11:26 are much stronger then we are, they are taller 11:28 than we are, they've lived a lot longer then we've 11:30 lived and they are messengers of God to do 11:34 with his will. Now, here is another passage David 11:36 first John chapter 4, verse 1, first john 4, verse 1. 11:43 Okay. The Bible says beloved believe not every spirit; 11:48 don't just believe every spirit that shows up in 11:50 your room or in your home or somewhere else. 11:54 Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits to see 11:58 whether they are from God. So when Sylvia 12:02 Brown describes as an eight year old that this 12:04 ghost appear to her from the other side and said I'm 12:08 from God what she should have done is she 12:10 should have tested that spirit based upon the 12:12 Bible to see whether it really was from God or 12:15 whether it wasn't. And that's what the Bible says 12:17 that we should test them. Now here is another 12:19 passage if you go to First Timothy chapter 4, it tells 12:24 us that not only do we need to test the spirits, but 12:27 it gives us a reason. First Timothy, chapter 4, verse 12:30 1 says now the spirit and this is talking about the 12:35 Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit speaks expressly so 12:38 they are good angels out there on the other side 12:41 and there is the Holy Spirit out there, God is 12:43 out there, Jesus is out there, the Holy Spirit is 12:46 out there and the Holy Spirit speaks to us 12:48 through the Bible and he says in the later times 12:51 some shall depart from the faith and they will 12:54 give head to what. Demons deceiving spirits 12:58 and doctrines of the demons. Right, okay my Bible says 13:00 the seducing spirits, what does you were saying 13:02 seducing spirits or. Deceiving, deceiving spirits. 13:04 Deceiving spirits right. So, here the Bible warns 13:06 about seducing spirits about deceiving spirits 13:11 that will teach doctrines of demons, doctrines or 13:15 teachings that come from the spirits do not line up 13:18 with this book, they are deceptive in their lives 13:22 and the Bible warns us about that. And the more 13:24 you read this book you discover that just as there 13:27 are good angels on the other side. So there are 13:30 evil angels, there are bad angels, there are angels 13:32 that originally lived in heaven, but they got 13:35 kicked out and in the next program we will talk 13:38 more specifically about why they got kicked out 13:40 and about their leader, who got kicked out with 13:43 them, but the scripture is very clear that there are 13:47 tricksters our there on the other side and we 13:50 shouldn't just accept everything they say and 13:52 just know for sure that you know hey, it's a 13:55 supernatural being, it must be telling me the 13:58 truth not so. And we've got to watch it out for that. 14:01 Now let's take a look at another passage here in 14:03 the Book of Mark; it's a chapter Mark chapter 5, 14:07 Mark 5 is an amazing passage. The gospel of 14:13 Mark second book of the New Testament talks 14:18 about an encounter between Jesus Christ and 14:21 a man, who was basically a lunatic, he was a crazy 14:26 man, he had lost his mind and the reason is because 14:29 something from the other side had come into his 14:32 heart, into his life. Verse 1 talks about how 14:35 Jesus was in a boat, he came to the other side of 14:38 this country called the Gadarenes and verse 2 14:41 says when he came out of the ship immediately they're 14:43 met him out of the tombs a man within unclean 14:47 spirits. This man was, he was insane, he was living 14:51 in the cemetery out of the tombs it says. Verse 3 14:55 says his dwelling was among the tombs, very 14:58 scary person can you imagine. You know, 15:00 taking a walk one, one afternoon in the cemetery 15:03 looking at tombstones and have this man just 15:06 run out at you screaming and half naked, chains, 15:11 you know, dangling from his wrists that's what, 15:14 that's what happening here. It says no man could bind 15:17 him not with chains because he had been often 15:20 bound with fetters and chains and the chains had 15:23 been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters were 15:26 broken in pieces. Neither could any man tame him, 15:29 he was very powerful because someone was 15:32 dwelling inside him. It says night and day he 15:36 was in the mountains, in the tombs crying and 15:38 cutting himself with stones. Just an awful 15:41 picture of a specimen, specimen of humanity 15:45 that's in big trouble. And then it says verse 6 15:47 when he saw Jesus a far off he ran and he 15:51 worshiped him and then he cried with the loud 15:53 voice. And there was something inside of him 15:55 that recognized that he was in the presence of his 15:58 deliverer and he wanted to appeal to Jesus for help. 16:02 But, as he opened his mouth another voice 16:06 spoke through him. He cried with a loud voice 16:09 and the voice said, what have I to do with you, 16:11 Jesus, the son of the most high God. I adjure you by 16:15 God, that you torment me not, so frightening, 16:19 frightening passage. For Jesus had told him to 16:22 come, told the spirit to come out of that man you 16:25 unclaimed spirit. Now look at verse 9, 16:26 Jesus asked him he said what is your name? 16:29 So, here's this man in front of him you know 16:31 frothing of the mouth, naked, bleeding, cutting 16:34 himself, screaming out. And Jesus looks at him 16:37 and says what's your name, who are you? 16:39 Tell me who you really are? And look at the response. 16:43 In verse 9 what did, what did the voice say that 16:47 spoke from within this man's body and he 16:49 answered and said my name is Legion, 16:51 for we are many. That's right; my name is 16:53 Legion, for we are many now. A Legion was actually a Roman, 16:59 a group of Roman troops in the Roman army and 17:02 you can do your research on this historians tell us 17:05 that within a Roman Legion there was 17:07 approximately 3 to 5000 different troops and this 17:11 voice said my name is Legion and he said 17:14 because we are many, there is a lot of us in here 17:17 and they began a little, a little appeal as these 17:20 demons are speaking their appealing to Jesus and it 17:24 says that they be sought him that he would not 17:26 send them away out of the country. 17:28 Verse 11 says there was near on to, on the 17:31 mountains a great herd of swine feeding, there was 17:34 a whole big group of pigs that were on the mountain 17:37 just casually grazing and eating grass and all the 17:41 devils, it says all the devils be sought him 17:45 saying send us into the pigs that we may enter 17:49 them and Jesus gave them leave, he said go. 17:53 And then verse 13 says the unclean spirits they 17:55 went out, they entered into the pigs and the herd 17:59 ran violently, violently down a steep place into 18:03 the sea. They were about 2000 of them and they 18:07 were choked in the sea. Just a little bit of tongue 18:10 and cheek humor. Have you ever heard of deviled ham? 18:13 Deviled ham. Yeah, deviled ham it's a 18:15 rather common, common phrase. Well, I think this 18:18 is what comes from. This is what comes from these, 18:21 these devils went into the pigs and they push them 18:25 down this hillside and they push them 18:29 into, into the water. Now some people would 18:31 say when they read the Bible or when they just 18:33 think about you know mental illness they would 18:35 think this man was just insane. There really aren't 18:38 any supernatural forces out there. There is all just 18:41 humanistic, they don't really believe in any real 18:44 demons, they would say this is just some idea that 18:48 goes back to the dark ages. But if you look at 18:51 the text this can't be a man simply with a mental 18:54 illness because these spirits that were in him 18:57 came out of him, crossed through the air went into 19:02 2000 pigs, move the pigs down a slope and they all 19:07 drown in the water. And so you know did a mental 19:10 illness do that? Who did that? If we believe the bible 19:14 who did that? It's demons according to 19:17 the Bible. Yeah, that's right according to 19:18 the Bible it was Legion and then finally in verse 19:22 15 it talks about the people of the area they 19:24 came back to Jesus and they saw this man. It says 19:27 who was possessed with the devil, who had the 19:30 Legion. He was sitting and he was clothed and 19:33 now he was in his right mind. Right mind. 19:36 That's right; he was in his right mind. It is a right 19:39 mind to realize that in the invisible world there are 19:43 two forces, there are holy angels, there is the Holy 19:46 Spirit and there also deceiving spirits, 19:49 seducing spirits who teach doctrines of 19:51 demons, invisible agencies the Bible calls 19:54 them devils, they are demons. They were 3 to 5000 of them 19:58 inside this person they came out, push the pigs 20:01 into the sea and then they went somewhere. 20:04 Who knows exactly, where they went? 20:06 And then the man was left there in his right mind 20:10 and God wants us to be thinking in a right mind, 20:12 as we think about what's going on in the invisible 20:15 world. And it's very clear from these verses that 20:18 there are forces of evil that are as the Bible calls 20:21 them they are devils, they are demons. And in the 20:24 next program, we are gonna look at the issue of 20:26 whether they have a leader and it's amazing to 20:28 me that when you, when you just take a surface 20:31 look, I don't recommend the people go very deep, 20:34 but if you take a surface look at what is being 20:37 taught by popular mediums by those that are 20:39 involved in wicked and witchcraft it's pretty 20:42 common knowledge that they publicly say that 20:45 they don't believe there is a devil out there. 20:47 They don't believe in demons, fallen angels, 20:51 they just don't, they don't buy this and they are 20:54 open to all kinds of other things and the problem is 20:57 David that they don't question, they don't test. 21:00 They are not, they are not discerning to recognize 21:06 that what's out there is not what they realize. 21:10 Now it's, it's evil spirit, it's evil angels, it's 21:13 demons and these demons, these evil angels 21:15 can very easily impersonate a dead person. 21:19 They have got an agenda, they are powerful and 21:21 their goal is to trick and deceive and seduce and 21:24 eventually come inside of us and to takeover and 21:27 then to bring us down and to drag us into the pit to 21:32 the cemetery life. And it's also amazing that lot of 21:35 people today are focused on death. Not too long 21:37 ago, I was in a record shop and I was just 21:40 scanning the covers of lot of the rock and roll 21:44 albums and I used to listen to a lot of these 21:46 groups, I was a big rock and roller in my teen 21:49 years until my eyes were open and I came out of 21:51 that and a lot of the covers of the popular rock 21:55 groups have themes of death and darkness and skulls. 22:00 And it just reminds me of Mark 5 that when the 22:02 demons come in then what happens? 22:06 You know they, they move this man into a cemetery. 22:10 Cemetery. Into a cemetery that's right, 22:12 insanity and that's the goal of the devil and 22:15 these forces are out there and they are real and if 22:18 we don't want to be possessed by this demons, 22:20 by this legion then we need to be discerning and 22:23 we need to test everything by scripture and not just 22:26 be open to any ghost that says I come from God 22:31 because it may not come from God. May be a 22:33 lying, deceiving seducing spirit. 22:35 So, just to recap what we talked about up to this 22:37 point, the Bible is clear that in the Book of 22:39 Revelation there are myriads, hundreds, 22:41 thousands. If not millions of angels that surround 22:44 the throne of God. These beings are more powerful 22:46 then we are and on the counterpart of that we 22:48 have fallen angels, which we call demons and these 22:52 demons and angels are on opposite sides. They are 22:54 spirits in the sense and our duty according to first 22:58 John I think it was that said we have to test the 23:01 spirits. In other words, just because the spirit 23:03 comes in the way when supernatural, we are not 23:05 just to be lay our hands and say oh! this must be 23:07 true or we have to test the spirits. And we have also 23:10 shown according to Mark chapter 5 that these evil 23:15 spirits want to possess human beings. There is 23:18 an element of possession. It's their desire to inhabit 23:21 and to control us as individuals and so it's a, 23:24 it's a solemn factor, there is some dangerous ground 23:27 that you are delving into here. If you dabble into 23:30 the spiritual world without a discerning eye. 23:33 That's exactly right and as we talk about this our 23:36 goal is not to make anybody afraid. 23:38 Sure. We don't want to scare you because when you 23:41 keep reading the Bible we discover that the angels of 23:43 God are much more powerful then Satan 23:44 angels. We don't have to be afraid of the evil 23:46 angels, we don't have to worry about Legion 23:48 because God's angels are stronger and if we are on 23:51 God side and if we surrender our life to the 23:52 Lord, he will send his angels to protect us. 23:55 One of my favorite passages it's on 34 verse 23:58 7, 34:7 it says the angel of the Lord in camps 24:02 around about them that fear him and delivers 24:06 them. Now, why would angels need to deliver us 24:09 unless we were exposed to evil forces. 24:11 There is a good book that I can recommend and it's 24:14 called must have been an angel. We don't 24:17 particularly sell in our ministry, but it's not hard 24:20 to find out there in a bookstore. It must have 24:22 been an angel and that book is full of stories of 24:25 angels that have appeared to people and protected 24:27 them. Sometimes in human form and they 24:29 were immediately recognized as angels. 24:32 One of my favorite story is one about an old 24:34 women and she was in a cabin and she had her 24:38 wood for her fire and in one particular winter she 24:40 ran out of wood and it got colder and colder and colder 24:43 and she was hoping and praying that her friends 24:46 would come and give her some more wood, but she 24:48 couldn't get hold of them and the temperature was 24:51 dropping fast and so she started praying to God. 24:53 God, please you got to help me, I just may freeze 24:56 up here. And so all the sudden unexpectedly the 24:59 door opened and a man walked in, a tall man that 25:02 she had never seen and he was very noble looking, 25:05 had a smile on his face and he was carrying a 25:07 handful of wood. And he didn't say a word came 25:10 in, put wood by the fire, went out the door came 25:13 back in put more wood by the fire, went out the door 25:16 came back in put more wood by the fire, and then 25:18 he went out one more time came back in and 25:21 put wood by the fire and then he took some of it 25:23 got some kindling going and started this fire and 25:26 once the fire was going and the warmth was 25:28 starting come into the house. He turned around 25:31 and he started walking towards the door and this 25:34 woman, and this is recorded in this book, 25:36 it must have been an angel, the women was 25:38 looking at him and they won't say anything back 25:40 and forth throughout the whole time. And as this 25:42 man was walking out the door after starting the 25:45 fire, she had this feeling that he was gonna go out 25:47 and not come back and she began to think to 25:50 herself this, this may be. Must be an angel. 25:53 Must be an angel right, that's what the book's 25:55 called must be an angel and she may be had read 25:57 a verse like this, that the angel of the Lord in 26:00 camps around about them that fear him and delivers them. 26:03 And so this is what happened David as the 26:07 man walked out for the last time in her mind she 26:11 looked at him and spoke a mental word without 26:15 verbally saying it, she just said in her mind she said 26:18 are you an angel of God? And right before the man 26:24 walked out he turned and he looked at her and he 26:28 smiled then he went like this. 26:32 In other words. He just gave a, Yes. 26:34 He just gave a nod and then he walked out, 26:36 closed the door and she went out after him and 26:40 she looked and there was a lot of snow on the 26:41 ground and he was gone and there, there was no 26:44 footprints in the snow at all and she just went, 26:48 Wow! I have just seen an angel of God in human form. 26:54 Wow! And he was tall and noble, and he smiled and 26:58 he had a very intelligent and loving 27:01 look about his face. And that's a wonderful 27:04 story and so as we talk about demons and 27:07 deceiving spirits on the other side. Let's not be 27:10 afraid, let's trust in the lord that he will protect 27:14 us with holy angels. But, let's also be very well 27:18 aware that according to this book there are good 27:21 angels out there and there are bad angels deceiving 27:24 angels that are trying to trick us and deceive us 27:26 and lead us away from Bible truth and let's not 27:29 follow them anytime they may show up and try to 27:34 convince us contrary to God's book. 27:37 Well, thank you so much Steve. This has been a 27:40 reveling study and discussion of this past 27:44 half hour has been who dwells on the other side 27:47 the battle between angels and demons. And as we 27:51 pray for you that you will not just go out into the 27:54 supernatural, but that you will learn to test the 27:56 spirits by the word of God. I would like to invite you 28:00 join us next time, we will be delving a little bit 28:01 more into this who is the leader of these demons. 28:05 May Lord bless you and keep you and that's our 28:07 pray, that you remain faithful to scripture. |
