00:14 Like to welcome you to Battles of Faith
00:16 my name is David Shin and I'm here with Steve 00:18 Wohlberg who is the Speaker, Director of 00:20 White Horse Media based in Fresno, 00:21 California. He is the author of several books 00:23 and has done extensive research on the 00:25 Supernatural from a Biblical perspective. 00:28 This series is entitled Magic Ghost in the 00:30 Bible and it's been quite a journey, I like to 00:32 shake your hand here its becoming very familiar 00:35 and you are no stranger to 3ABN. 00:37 Now, I just like to set this stage for our 00:39 viewing audience that has not perhaps been 00:41 with us up to this point. We've talked a little bit 00:44 about the main stream nature of the occult, of 00:47 Wicca, of the Supernatural and maybe you can 00:49 give some illustrations on that, how prevalent 00:52 it has become and why we are talking about 00:54 this topic here today about Armageddon. 00:57 Sure, yes, we've been talking about the occult, 00:59 about the growth of witchcraft. Its modern 01:02 term is Wicca. We've been talking about 01:05 spiritualism, about mediums, we've been 01:07 talking especially about Hollywood TV 01:09 programs like Medium and Ghost Whisper; 01:12 movies like the Harry Potter series, we've 01:14 talked about the Charm series and just a lot of 01:17 productions that are out there, that are being 01:20 watched by people around the world and 01:22 how these productions are actually desensitizing 01:25 people to the dangers of the occult and they, 01:27 many of them especially when it comes to 01:29 the spiritualism programs are actually connected 01:32 to, to real mediums who are really claiming to 01:37 communicate with the dead. And there is just a 01:40 lot at the Supernatural that is permeating our 01:44 society right now around the world 01:45 especially through, through the media. 01:47 I refer to an article in one of the previous 01:50 programs from People Magazine and you can 01:53 see the words here it says "They See Dead People." 01:56 People magazine is a widely read journal read 01:59 by all kinds of different people and this 02:02 particular article says what is it with the 02:04 dearly departed. It seems like they are 02:07 everywhere lately. Goals, I'm sorry ghosts, 02:11 ghouls and spirits are invading prime time 02:14 and that it refers it to medium, ghost whisper, 02:16 supernatural and popular mediums 02:19 like John Edward, Allison DuBois, Sylvia Browne, 02:23 the list goes on and on. And what we're trying 02:26 to do in this special hot series is to address 02:30 these issues from a Biblical perspective and 02:32 to expose the menace behind the magic and 02:36 the dangers that are hidden within the occult 02:40 world and to warn people to watch out 02:44 and to be careful and to stay away from these 02:47 influences which really have supernatural evil 02:51 behind them which are seeking even though 02:53 they may put out a friendly face, friendly 02:56 happy face you know actresses and actors 02:59 that are nice people. There is menace that is 03:03 working behind the scenes to suck people 03:05 down into the darkness and that's what we're 03:08 doing here and we're trying ultimately to turn 03:10 people from the darkness and to 03:12 promote the light. To promote the love of 03:14 God and the truth of this book and to prepare 03:19 young and old for the soon return of Jesus Christ 03:22 which we believe, we believe we're at the 03:24 edge of the big day. And this whole 03:27 production is designed to help to prepare 03:29 people to be ready for the big one. 03:32 It's not an earthquake in California. 03:35 The big one is the, the end of the world and the 03:38 return of Lord. That's what it's about. 03:40 Now, we've talked in a previous program about 03:43 these currents and behind the occult, 03:46 behind Wicca and behind magic there are 03:48 certain currents that are pulling now. 03:50 My question is why do they have this 03:53 fascination with human beings, what is their 03:55 agenda, is there a climax point in the 03:57 future that this is thrusting us toward and 04:01 what does the Bible have to say about that. 04:02 Right. Where, where are we heading? Where 04:05 are the spirits moving humanity toward. 04:08 There is a point and if you have a Bible I'd 04:10 invite you to turn to the last book. The Book of 04:12 Revelation, chapter 16 points toward the final 04:16 battle and we're going to zero in on prophecy 04:19 in this program and just share some eye opening 04:22 passages. Revelation Chapter 16, 04:26 we're looking at the 14th verse. 04:28 Revelation chapter 16:14. The Bible says 04:31 and I'll just read these three verses and then 04:33 we'll unpack them. Okay. 16:14 says they are the 04:37 spirits of devils working miracles which go forth 04:44 to the Kings of the earth and the whole world to 04:47 gather them to the battle of the great day of God 04:52 almighty. In verse 15, Jesus said, behold 04:55 I come as a thief. Blessed is he who 04:58 watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk 05:01 naked and they see his shame and then verse 05:04 16 says he gathered them together into a 05:07 place called in the Hebrew tongue and 05:10 what's that word. Its Armageddon. 05:12 That's, that's right. The word there is 05:13 Armageddon. Armageddon is the last 05:16 battle. It's the apocalyptic battle, 05:18 it's the final battle at the end of the world in 05:21 verse 14 it's called the Battle of the Great Day 05:24 of God Almighty and it's very significant 05:28 David and everybody out there please listen. 05:31 It's very significant that the build up to the final 05:36 battle of Armageddon, the battle of God 05:37 Almighty is described in verse 14 and it says 05:41 they are the spirits of devils, that the spirits of 05:45 devils working behind the scenes. It says they 05:49 work miracles, they do wonders, signs and 05:51 wonders that people look at and they go wow. 05:53 You know this must be from God, but these are 05:56 deceptive forces orchestrating things 05:59 behind the scenes and it says that they go forth 06:02 to the Kings of the earth and the whole world, 06:04 this was a prophecy of a global spiritualistic 06:08 activity all over this planet, they go out to 06:12 gather people, to gather the world for the final 06:16 battle against God. There are evil forces 06:20 working behind the scenes as we talked 06:22 about in the previous program, according to 06:24 this book, the Bible, there is a, an individual, 06:27 a personality called the Devil. He is the 06:29 ultimate deceiver and he has an army of evil 06:33 angels that are working with him behind the 06:35 scenes and they are manifesting themselves 06:38 in many different ways and I just think it's 06:40 extremely significant David that when the 06:42 Book of Revelation mentions the Battle of 06:44 Armageddon, which it only does one time that 06:47 verse 14 tells us that the spirits of Devils 06:50 working behind the scenes, performing 06:52 miracles, going forth to the whole world, this is 06:56 part of the build up, part of the gathering of 07:00 humanity to be ultimately on Satan's 07:03 side in the battle of the great day of God Almighty. 07:07 And so, that's why we're dealing with this 07:09 topic in this series. We're talking about 07:11 witchcraft and it's involvement with spirits. 07:13 We're talking about spiritualism, mediums, 07:16 popular mediums, mediums that are on TV, 07:18 that are writing the talk show circuit, that are 07:21 writing best selling books, New York Times 07:23 best selling books. We're talking about 07:24 NBC programs, CBS programs, Hollywood 07:27 movies, we're talking about the big productions 07:32 like Harry Potter and the Spiritualistic 07:34 influences that are working behind the 07:36 scenes to desensitize an entire generation to the 07:40 dangers of the, of the occult and my 07:43 conviction is that what's happening is we're 07:45 witnessing David, we're witnessing the going 07:49 forth of these spirits in the beginnings of the 07:53 build up to the final battle of Armageddon 07:56 and what's happening is Satan is working in 07:59 every way that he possibly can, especially 08:03 through spiritual manifestations from the 08:05 other side that don't claim to be demons, 08:08 that claim to be either the dead or the spirits 08:10 nature or the spirits of the force and the trees 08:14 and whatever other things people are you know 08:16 worshiping and trying to contact from the other side. 08:20 These spirits are impersonators, they are 08:22 demonic impersonators and they are moving 08:24 humanity toward the final day and Revelation 08:27 gives us a warning and it tells us watch out 08:30 spirits of devils, they're gonna go out. 08:32 And they are gonna prepare humanity to be 08:35 on the wrong side for the final battle and 08:38 we're here to warn you and to help to get you 08:42 on the right side instead of on the wrong side. 08:45 That's what it's all about. Now, it seems like 08:47 Steve that within the last five to I would say 08:50 10 years there has been like a resurgence of 08:54 Wicca, resurgence of witchcraft within the 08:57 main stream media. It's no longer on the 08:58 periphery, no longer on the fringe. That's right. 09:00 And so my question to you is, do you believe 09:03 with this build up of media frenzy regarding 09:07 the occult and these kind of things that we 09:09 are approaching the day of Armageddon. 09:12 Yes. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. 09:14 Exactly that. Let me share another quote 09:17 from a book that I referred to previously 09:18 a book called the Great Controversy which was 09:20 a classic Christian work dealing with Christian 09:24 history and the battle between good and evil 09:25 and Bible prophecy and the things that are going 09:28 to be happening right before Jesus returns. 09:31 In this book, page 561, many of you are 09:33 familiar with this book. It says here that Satan 09:36 has long been preparing for his final effort to 09:40 deceive the world. The foundation of his work 09:43 which we've talked about was laid by the 09:45 assurance given to Eve in the Garden of Eden 09:47 that you shall not surely die. 09:50 We looked at that in Genesis 3, verse 4. 09:52 That was the first lie of Satan that you don't die 09:54 and there is no death. And then he continued, 09:57 the serpent continued and said in that day that 09:59 you eat your will be open and you will be as 10:02 God knowing good and evil. Those two lies that 10:04 there is no death and that we're God, those 10:07 are the foundation lies of modern spiritualism 10:11 and of the witchcraft movement. And then it 10:13 goes on and says little by little Satan has 10:16 prepared the way for his master piece of 10:19 deception in the development of spiritualism. 10:23 He has not yet reached the full accomplishment 10:26 of his designs and then it says, but this will be 10:31 reached in the last remnant of time. 10:36 And then there is a quote from the Bible 10:38 which was Revelation 16:14, they are the 10:42 spirits of devils going forth to the whole world 10:46 to gather them for the battle of Armageddon 10:48 and my point is again that revelation 16 10:53 predicts that there will be a global spiritualistic 10:57 manifestation of spirits of devils working 11:01 behind the scenes as part of the activity of 11:05 the devil in the last remnant of time that 11:09 will gather the world for the battle of Armageddon. 11:12 And that is where we are right now. 11:14 Never in my 28 years of ministry have I ever 11:17 seen so much spiritualistic activity 11:20 going on through Hollywood and through 11:22 popular mediums that are now like I said 11:25 writing the talk show circuit and speaking 11:28 right on TV and this is what's happening and 11:33 we're almost there. You know I want to go 11:34 home, I want to raise my son in heaven, 11:36 I've got a two-year-old, I've got a lovely wife 11:38 and I look at Seth and I just think to myself 11:41 you know let's go home and we're almost there. 11:45 I can hear the foot prints of God 11:48 approaching and that's why we're doing this 11:50 program to help you to be aware of what's 11:53 going in our world. So, on one hand you 11:57 have Christ, the other hand you have Satan 12:00 and Satan the, I just said the thing behind 12:03 the madness is that he sees a point in the 12:06 future in which there is going to be the last 12:08 battle, which is what Armageddon means, 12:10 between the forces of light and the forces of 12:12 darkness and his agenda is to make sure that as 12:15 many individuals are ultimately on his side of 12:19 this battle between Christ and Satan. 12:21 He is gathering people to be on his side. 12:24 Now, I want to zero in David on verse 15. 12:27 A lot of people talk today about Armageddon. 12:29 They have made movies on this but there is very 12:31 few that really know what the Bible really 12:34 says about this subject and the word 12:37 Armageddon like with mentioned is only 12:38 mentioned one time in Revelation 16:16 and 12:42 it's in verse 15. It's in the one verse right 12:45 before Armageddon sandwiched in between 12:48 the spirits of devils in verse 14, Armageddon 12:50 mentioned in verse 16, that in verse 15 Jesus 12:53 Christ inserts special council to us. 12:59 Giving us instruction as to how to be ready 13:03 and that's what I want to focus on. We're not 13:04 here just to talk about the darkness, but we 13:06 want to point to the light. Amen. 13:08 And here is the light. In verse 15 Jesus says 13:10 behold I come as a thief, I'm coming soon. 13:13 When you see all this things happening hear 13:15 the voice of Christ saying I'm coming, 13:16 I'm coming soon as a thief and then he says 13:20 blessed is who that watches and when Jesus 13:23 says blessed is he who watches, he doesn't 13:25 mean watches prime time TV programs, 13:28 talking about ghosts and spirits. He doesn't mean 13:31 watching movies about a boy wizard who go to 13:34 Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, 13:37 referring to the Harry Potter series. Jesus is 13:39 talking about watching out for deception and 13:43 for the subtle influences of evil angels working 13:47 through the media and through whatever else 13:49 they can use, to get into our minds. Blessed is he 13:53 who watches, watches out. Jesus said watch and pray, 13:57 lest you enter into temptation and then 13:59 notice, verse 15. Blessed is who watches 14:02 and then does what else. Keeps his garments. 14:05 Right. Keeps his garments, lest he walk 14:09 naked and they see his shame. Now that's 14:13 amazing. And this is a very personal verse, 14:16 its talking to individuals and it's Christ council to 14:20 us, how to be ready for Armageddon. 14:22 Armageddon is mentioned verse 16. 14:24 Verse 15 Jesus tells us to keep our garments. 14:26 We've got to have our garments and if we 14:28 don't have those garments on then we're 14:30 gonna end up naked and we're gonna be ashamed. 14:33 Now here is the question. When was the very first 14:37 time that anybody ever walked naked in this 14:41 world and then the next question is what are 14:44 those garments that Jesus tells us we've got 14:47 to wear in order to be dressed for Armageddon. 14:50 So, when did anyone first walked naked. 14:53 We've read about that. We've read about it in a 14:55 previous program. Right. About when the first lie 14:58 in the Bible and then after Eve and Adam 15:01 part took of the fruit, they realized 15:02 that they were naked. That's exactly right. 15:04 And that's the first place that I can look at. 15:06 That's right. When Jesus says keep your 15:08 garments lest you walk naked what he is doing 15:10 is he is pointing us right back to the Garden of 15:12 Eden, when Adam and Eve yielded to the 15:14 serpent who said you don't die and you're God. 15:18 Those two doctrines you don't die and you're God. 15:21 Those were the doctrines of the serpent. 15:22 Adam and Eve believed them and they ate the 15:25 fruit and then they lost their rope of light and 15:28 they ended up naked and ashamed. 15:30 And when Jesus tells us keep your garments and 15:34 don't, or else you're gonna walk naked. 15:36 He is pointing us right back to the Garden of 15:38 Eden and he is telling us to be aware of those 15:41 exact teachings of the serpent and ultimately 15:44 he is warning us about sin. He is warning us about 15:47 going our own way, living our own life, 15:50 doing what we want to do instead of what God 15:52 wants us to do and when people do that, 15:55 when Adam and Eve did that the result was 15:57 they lost their heavenly robe of righteousness 16:00 and they ended up naked and that's the 16:03 condition that we're in naturally that human 16:05 beings are in, in this world as we are 16:07 naturally naked. It doesn't mean that we 16:09 don't have any literal clothes on. It's talking 16:12 about spiritual nakedness, that we're 16:14 spiritually naked in sin, we're exposed to the 16:18 justice of God, a dead sin and we need a 16:22 covering; we need a covering and what is 16:25 that covering, who is that covering, how do 16:28 we get that covering, that is the core message 16:33 of the book of Revelation and of our 16:35 preparation for the Battle of Armageddon. 16:39 And that's interesting too because in your 16:40 previous program we also noted that God 16:42 made provision for Adam and Eve after 16:44 they found out they were naked, he got 16:46 skins of animals to clothe them which was 16:49 a symbol of what I think you're gonna be 16:51 talking about here and again, what was that 16:52 covering, that covered. That's right. That's right. 16:54 The garments are mentioned many times 16:57 in the Bible. All the way back in Genesis 16:59 God clothed Adam and Eve we talked about 17:01 with skins of animals in Genesis 3:21, 17:04 which represented the perfect garment of the 17:07 righteousness of his son, who would 17:10 eventually come down here and die on a cross 17:11 for our sins. The book of Revelation often 17:14 refers to these garments in Genesis, I'm sorry 17:17 Revelation chapter 3 verse 18, Jesus says I 17:22 counsel you, talking to the church, I counsel 17:24 you to buy of me, gold tried in the fire that you 17:28 may be rich and white raiment, white raiment 17:32 that you may be clothed. There it is and that 17:35 the shame of your nakedness do not 17:38 appear and anoint your eyes with eye salve that 17:41 you may see, that you may see the truth, that 17:44 you may see your need for the robe of that 17:48 white garment white raiment. The white robe 17:52 is mentioned many times, here in Revelation 3:18, 17:55 Revelation chapter 7, here is another reference. 17:59 And Jesus wants our eyes to be opened to the 18:01 need for that, that garment. Revelation 7 verse 9, 18:08 John looked into the future and he said after 18:10 this I'll be held in lower great multitude which 18:12 no man could number, of all nations and 18:14 kindreds and people in tongues, they stood 18:17 before the throne, the throne of God and 18:19 before the lamb and they were clothed and 18:21 what were they clothed with? They were clothed with 18:24 white robes. With white robe. 18:26 That's right and palms in their hands and they 18:28 cried with a loud voice saying salvation to our 18:31 God who sits upon the throne and to the lamb. 18:35 That's a, that's a precious picture there 18:36 on the screen of Jesus hugging a sinner and he 18:40 is placing upon him the white robe of his 18:43 perfect righteousness. The covering was 18:46 predicted in Genesis 3:21, the covering of 18:50 the animal skins, the covering is mentioned 18:52 in Revelation 3:18 as white garments. 18:55 The covering is again mentioned in 18:57 Revelation 7, 9 and 10, that God's gonna have 19:00 people one of these days from every nation 19:03 who are not following the serpent, not 19:05 following the doctrines of the devil, not following 19:07 the spiritualistic manifestations, but are 19:10 following the Holy Spirit, are following the 19:12 truth of the Bible and have given their life to 19:15 Jesus Christ and he has now put upon them his 19:18 perfect, pure, white robe. David, that's one 19:22 reason why we call our ministry White Horse Media, 19:24 even though I'm wearing a black shirt 19:26 you've got the white horse on there and the 19:28 white horse is described in Revelation 19, where 19:32 Jesus is described as coming on a White Horse. 19:34 White represents his purity. It's not a reference 19:37 to the color of our skin, it's a reference to the 19:40 purity of Jesus Christ and the most beautiful 19:43 white thing, garment described in the Bible is 19:48 the white robe of his righteousness. 19:50 I remember it still, I'll always remember the 19:53 day of my wedding when I saw my lovely 19:56 bride to be Kristen Wohlberg walking 19:59 down the isle at that time she was Kirsten Demoras. 20:03 But not yet. But not yet, not quite 20:04 yet Wohlberg. And then when I said I do, that 20:06 was it. And I still remember seeing her in 20:09 a beautiful white dress and what Jesus wants to 20:12 do is he wants to cover our sin, cover our 20:15 nakedness, cover our past, cover our failures, 20:18 cover whatever we've done, all of our 20:20 mistakes with his white robe which ultimately 20:24 represents his, his just his pure covering of 20:26 forgiveness that when we choose to turn from 20:28 sin he'll wrap us in his love and he'll wash 20:33 those sins away and he'll put a perfect white 20:36 robe on us. Let me tell a quick story. I heard a 20:39 story once about a 13 or 14-year-old boy whose 20:43 name was Tim and he lived out in, out in the 20:46 country with his parents, mom and dad, 20:48 and he had a temper and one day he got in a fight 20:50 with his dad out in the field. They were working in the 20:52 field and he said to his dad, I'm out of here. 20:54 I'm tired of you, I don't wanna be here 20:57 I'm gone. So he left the house and he lived out 21:00 in the world for three years trying to make it 21:02 on his own like the prodigal son. 21:03 Well after three years life wasn't going so well 21:05 for Tim and he decided that maybe he would go 21:10 home if his dad wanted him back. So, he made a 21:13 phone call one day in the middle of the day 21:14 when he knew his dad would be out in the 21:16 field and he called up his mother and he just 21:18 quickly said mom, it's Tim, didn't give her a 21:20 chance to talk. He said mom it's Tim. 21:22 I've decided to buy train ticket and I'm going to 21:24 be passing at the bottom. They lived on a hill 21:26 and at the bottom of their hill was a train station. 21:29 And just one house on the hill. And he said I'll 21:32 be on a certain train on a certain day; it was on 21:34 a Monday I think and I'll be passing and I'll be 21:36 going to that station and then I'm gonna look 21:38 through my window and I'm gonna look out 21:39 and see our house. And Tim said mom talk to 21:42 dad and if he is willing to take me back 21:44 have him just hang something white on the porch. 21:46 And if when I get to that station, I look up 21:49 and I see something white then I'll know dad 21:51 wants me back. But if I don't see anything white 21:53 I'll just keep going and then he hung up. 21:55 Didn't even give his dad a chance to talk. 21:57 Well, the day came and he bought his ticket and 22:00 he got on the train. And he happened to sit next 22:02 to a pastor. And Tim sat down and he was really 22:05 nervous biting his nails and the pastor noticed that. 22:07 And he said young man what's going on. 22:09 And then Tim explained to him all about what 22:11 had happened. And as they continued to talk 22:13 the train was winding around the bends, 22:15 finally they were getting close to that final, 22:17 final bend and Tim said to the pastor. 22:20 He said Mr. Minister, he said I'm so nervous 22:24 when we go around that final bend I'm going to 22:26 close my eyes. He can't look. 22:27 I can't look and he said I want you to just look 22:29 through the window and you'll see our house up 22:30 on the hill you can't miss, that's right up there. 22:32 And he said if you see anything white you tell me. 22:35 And if you don't then just don't say a word 22:37 and when the train stops it will just go on and I'll 22:40 just go with it and that will be it. So the train 22:43 started going over that final bend and Tim 22:45 closed his eyes and the Pastor said a prayer and 22:48 they went around that bend and the pastor 22:50 looked through the window and he was 22:52 totally shocked at what he saw. What he saw 22:54 cost him to lose all of his ministerial dignity 22:57 and the train stopped and he jumped up and 22:59 he grabbed the boy and he said Tim, he said look. 23:02 And Tim opened his eyes and he looked 23:04 through that window and he was totally 23:05 shocked to see his little house on the hill 23:07 completely covered in white. Those parents 23:11 had taken every white blanket, every white 23:13 sheet, every white bed spread, every white towel, 23:16 every white napkin, all the white toilet paper 23:20 everything white that those parents could find 23:23 and they draped the house totally and the 23:26 last thing the Pastor remembers as he looked 23:29 through the window was seeing the back of 23:30 the legs of that young man running up the hill 23:33 as fast as he could, running up through the 23:35 steps, through the white sheets, through the 23:38 porch, through the front door and then the Pastor 23:41 couldn't see it. But the boy had run into the 23:44 arms of two parents, lonely parents who 23:48 would do anything to let their son know that 23:52 they loved him and they wanted him to come home. 23:54 Amen. And you know what, I mean that story is 23:57 sometimes I breakdown when I tell that story 23:59 'cause I'm a Dad myself and that story reveals 24:04 God's love for you and it reveals the message 24:06 of the book of Revelation and it reveals the 24:09 preparation that we need, in order to be 24:11 ready for Armageddon. Jesus loves us and he's 24:14 got a white robe for us, just like all that white 24:16 all around that house. And there is nothing he 24:18 wants more than to put that white garment 24:20 around us to forgive our sins and to help us to 24:23 stand, so that we're not naked on his side 24:26 following his book and his Holy Spirit, as we 24:31 prepare for the battle of Armageddon and that's 24:34 the message of Revelation David, when Jesus Christ 24:38 says and maybe I'll just finish up with this and 24:40 then I'll let you wind this up. Sure. 24:43 Revelation 16:14 warns us that they are the 24:48 spirits of devils and they're working through 24:51 Hollywood, they are working through 24:52 mediums and witchcraft and all of the things that 24:54 we've been talking about in this series. 24:56 And they're working miracles and they're 24:57 going forth right now to the Kings of the earth 25:00 and the whole world to gather them to the battle 25:02 of the great day of God Almighty. 25:04 Behold I come as a thief Jesus tells us. 25:07 Blessed is he who watches. Not watches those 25:09 programs but who watches out for the 25:11 deceptions of the devil and keeps his garments, 25:14 the garments, the white robe, the perfect robe of 25:17 Christ righteousness that is our key, that is 25:22 the key to our preparation for Armageddon. 25:25 We can't stand on our own. If we just try to 25:28 think we're good enough and that you know 25:29 we can do it on our own, we're gonna end 25:32 up naked, we're gonna end up ashamed. 25:34 We need a white robe of covering, 25:36 Jesus Christ perfect covering, that's how we 25:38 stand at Armageddon and the way to have it 25:43 is to realize that we don't have it and that 25:46 we need it and then to trust in Christ to give it 25:49 to us, to rely on him entirely to turn from 25:52 the darkness to trusting him, so he can put upon 25:56 us the perfect white robe of righteousness. 25:59 Amen. That's the message of Revelation. 26:01 Amen. Amen. Warns us you know. 26:04 Stay away from the occult, stay away from 26:06 the spirits of devils and come to the white robe 26:10 of your savior. Amen. Praise God. 26:13 Praise God. Well, Steve we've covered a lot of 26:15 topics here and we've just about one minute 26:18 left and I'm thinking about this, there is a 26:22 battle going to take place between Christ 26:24 and Satan, between the forces of light and the 26:27 forces of darkness and that robe I'm seeing is 26:30 essential as far as protection to making 26:32 sure that you make it out of this battle, which 26:35 we're all coming to and just in a nutshell, in the 26:38 last minute or so, could you just give an appeal, 26:42 or appeal to the person to accept that robe of 26:46 Christ's righteousness or what can they do, 26:48 maybe they have been dabbling in the occult, 26:50 in witchcraft, or maybe they, they haven't given 26:52 their life to Christ. What is the compelling 26:54 motivation that drives us to accept that robe? 26:57 Yes, we have a whole program coming still 26:59 yet in this series about defense against the dark 27:01 arts, but the motivation right now is the 27:04 motivation of God's love. Here's a quote from 27:06 Napoleon Bonaparte, great French military 27:09 General. He said Alexander, Caesar, 27:11 Charlemagne and myself founded empires, 27:14 but what foundation did we rest the creation 27:17 of our genius. He said upon force. Jesus Christ 27:20 founded an empire upon love and at this hour 27:24 millions of men would die for him. 27:27 The foundation, the message is about Jesus 27:30 died for you, he wants you to get your life to 27:32 him and he'll clothe you with that perfect robe 27:34 and prepare you for heaven. Don't miss it, 27:37 don't miss it or you're missing everything. 27:39 Amen. Amen. Thank you so much Steve. 27:42 Well, we're quickly winding down here. 27:45 We've talked about Armageddon and the 27:46 protection against Armageddon. 27:48 The protection against being deceived in the 27:51 last days is having that robe of Christ 27:54 righteousness and it's my appeal is to appeal 27:57 to you to accept that robe of Christ righteous. 28:00 Whatever it is in your life that you're dealing 28:01 with, Jesus is the answer and he will give you 28:05 that sense of peace. My name is David Shin 28:07 and I'm here with Steve Wohlberg. 28:08 Join us again next time. |
