00:38 Hello, friends, and welcome back
00:40 to Behold the Lamb Presents. 00:42 I'm Chris Shelton your host today. 00:43 I want to encourage you to continue to study 00:46 throughout this hour with us. 00:48 Today Pastor Kenny Shelton will be addressing 00:51 Forming The Conscience Through Hypnotism. 00:54 The title alone to this message is intriguing. 00:56 So let's just take a few moments here together 00:59 and begin to break it down. 01:00 First, what is the conscience? 01:02 The simplest way to explain conscience 01:05 is that it is our inner sense of right and wrong. 01:09 Google offers us this explanation as well. 01:12 It reads, "The sense of consciousness 01:15 of the moral goodness or blameworthiness 01:18 of one's own conduct, intentions 01:21 or character together with a feeling of obligation 01:24 to do right or be good." 01:27 Friends, obviously, our conscious is most likely 01:31 an area of communication in our minds between us 01:35 and the Holy Spirit. 01:36 Therefore, how our conscious minds 01:39 are formed is of great importance 01:42 in our walk with Christ 01:43 and our daily decisions of obedience out of love 01:47 to His will in our lives. 01:50 I would venture, I'd venture to say 01:52 that much of our conscious minds 01:55 are formed during the very young age 01:58 that we often call our formative years 02:01 and our formative years begin 02:02 and are occurring through the ages 02:05 during the ages of zero to eight years of life. 02:08 So, think about this, 02:10 would forming our conscious mind 02:12 through hypnotism be a safe method of character building. 02:17 What exactly is hypnotism? 02:20 Well, a number of careful writers have attempted 02:23 to define what takes place when a subject is hypnotized. 02:28 Norman Carlisle sums it up this way. 02:30 He says, "Being hypnotized has the effect 02:34 of putting your subconscious mind in control 02:37 without interference from your conscious mind, 02:41 which usually monitors your thoughts and actions. 02:44 Then instead of receiving orders 02:46 from your conscious mind, 02:48 you take them from the hypnotist for some reason, 02:52 however, your mind does not know 02:54 that instructions are coming from outside. 02:58 You can read more about this in what is hypnotism. 03:02 Coronet December 1954 on page 151. 03:07 In other words, hypnosis is allowing someone 03:11 or some being to take control of our minds, 03:15 making us subjected to their ideas of right and wrong. 03:20 I believe that Pastor Kenny Shelton today 03:22 will be exploring the use of hypnosis 03:25 as a method of leading us to accept, 03:28 now listen, to accept deception as truth, 03:32 as well as how dangerous and unassuming 03:36 being deceived through hypnosis can be 03:39 and why we must be aware of this. 03:42 So please stay tuned as we continue our study 03:45 of Forming The Conscience Through Hypnotism. 03:49 But first, we're going to visit 3ABN 03:52 where we're going to see Farrah Berry, 03:54 and she's gonna bless us with a piano rendition 03:57 of marching to Zion. 05:30 Hello, and welcome once again to Behold the Lamb Ministries, 05:32 thankful, very thankful that you have decided 05:34 to join us in our study of God's Word. 05:37 It's a very, very exciting study, 05:39 at least for me. 05:41 Because I believe this, God's last day people, 05:44 God's people need to be exposing the enemy, 05:47 and the plan that he has to deceive the whole world. 05:51 The Bible does say that, is that right? 05:53 He deceives the world and then that dwell there in. 05:56 And some of us just sit back like, 05:58 well, it doesn't matter how he deceives. 06:00 Yes, it matters. 06:02 It really matters, so our subject for today 06:04 is forming the conscience. 06:06 Remember, forming the conscience 06:09 by or through hypnotism. 06:11 If you think the devil doesn't use that, 06:13 we better think again. 06:15 And I believe that will be proven today 06:17 as we study how the enemy can do that 06:20 we are not aware of. 06:22 He does not want you to even realize that he exists. 06:26 He's very happy. 06:27 If you say, you know, people say 06:29 "Oh, there is no devil, there is no hell." 06:31 He's just clapping his hands and saying, 06:33 "Oh, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. 06:35 I've got them. 06:37 I've got them." 06:39 But let me tell you, there is a heaven, 06:40 there is a hell, there is a devil, 06:42 and there is a God. 06:44 And you're going to have to choose 06:45 and I'm going to have to choose by the grace of God. 06:48 And so before we go to our lesson here today, 06:52 I always feel the need to pray, 06:54 regardless of how many times have prayed about it. 06:57 And the enemy's being mad every time 06:58 he sees me open the book 07:00 and try to study on this subject. 07:01 But you know, I decided I didn't really care 07:04 because we prayed while ago for the angels to be doubled, 07:07 the angels to be doubled. 07:08 Right? 07:10 If you can't, if you feel like you can't take it, 07:11 and it's getting too much for you. 07:13 One angel, pray for two, 07:15 but then pray for three, pray for a dozen. 07:18 It's all right, God doesn't care. 07:19 He has abundance of angels that He will send to your side. 07:22 Let's pray together, shall we? 07:24 Merciful God in heaven, 07:26 thank You for the privilege of prayer. 07:27 Thank You that we can call you our Father. 07:29 Thank You that You've opened up Your Word to us, 07:32 Your wayward children that we can still understand 07:34 that the plans and the wiles of the enemy. 07:37 And then there's grace and their strength 07:38 and there's power. 07:40 And there's victory for those who will accept 07:42 what you offer to them today. 07:44 Bless us we pray, open ears, hearts and minds. 07:46 Lord, it's way out of my league. 07:47 I don't understand all the rest. 07:49 But Lord, I understand 07:50 that I need to bring it before the people 07:52 and You through the power of the Holy Spirit 07:54 will help them to understand in Jesus' name. 07:56 Amen. 07:58 Amen. 07:59 Our subject, 08:01 really our subject today talking 08:02 about forming the conscience. 08:03 Now remember, the enemy wants us 08:07 to recall, reform our conscience. 08:09 We say conscious, people have a conscience. 08:11 My wife, I know in her introduction, 08:13 talked about the conscience and gave some really good, 08:16 really good definitions of conscience. 08:18 So you have to watch the whole program, 08:19 so you get it. 08:21 And she closed it very well to put it in a nutshell, 08:23 that we're talking about the conscience. 08:25 The enemy is out to change your thinking, 08:29 for you to accept things that are unacceptable. 08:32 But how does he get you from that which is acceptable 08:34 to the unacceptable and still think that is acceptable? 08:38 How does he do that? Interesting. 08:40 So our subject today is one of intense interest to me. 08:46 This is no game. 08:47 If you think living a Christian life is a game, 08:49 you're in the wrong deal here. 08:51 This is not a game at all. 08:53 The stakes are high. 08:56 It's eternal life, what I'm talking about today, 08:59 but few seem to realize it, 09:01 and on the other hand, very few seem to care. 09:04 There's so much going on. 09:06 Everybody's so busy with everything 09:09 except the things of God. 09:12 Any kind of deviation from Bible truth is dangerous. 09:17 Is that okay? 09:19 Any what? 09:20 Any deviation from Bible truth is dangerous. 09:24 So be personally, I guess it's okay to say as a pastor, 09:27 I'm tired. 09:29 I'm sick and tired of people saying, 09:32 it doesn't make any difference. 09:35 Oh, it makes a difference. 09:37 You know, the Bible says in Matthew 4:4, 09:38 "Every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." 09:41 Who are you? 09:43 Who am I to say, oh, it doesn't make any difference? 09:44 So, well, God knows. 09:46 I talked to God and said the man the other day 09:48 and I bit my tongue. 09:50 Because I almost said, 09:52 "Why don't you stop and listen to him for a while." 09:54 He was always talking. 09:55 Okay? You follow what I mean? 09:57 Sometimes we're talking and we're not listening. 10:00 But we need to be listening. 10:03 The enemy knows that he's, he knows 10:07 that if we find out his plan that it could blow his cover. 10:13 And he doesn't want it opened up. 10:15 I love the book Great Controversy 10:16 as most of you know. 10:19 I haven't found anything in there 10:20 that goes against Scripture, but I found things 10:22 that will challenge your thinking. 10:25 They will challenge you to go back 10:26 into the Word of God 10:27 and find the principles that are there, 10:29 especially when you read the Books of Daniel 10:30 and Revelation that 10:32 we should be studying right now. 10:34 Remember, there's nothing so agitates the enemy, 10:38 the Great Deceiver, 10:39 may I call him that he fears so much 10:43 as that we become acquainted with his devices. 10:48 What is what? 10:49 The enemy gets torn up, 10:50 when he knows that you're looking and you understand 10:53 his devices, and what he's getting ready to pull. 10:56 Remember, he's a rerun, 10:58 he's going backwards to things that's work, 11:00 he continues to work and why change it. 11:04 We don't do, if something works, 11:05 we just keep working it. 11:07 If you don't, then we try to change it. 11:11 Many attacks and some of this 11:12 you will have to kind of think along with me 11:14 because it takes too much time to go into. 11:16 Many attacks have been made upon the people of God 11:20 over the centuries, upon God's people, 11:23 upon God's Church and whoever that might be, 11:26 I believe it's be the ones who are serving Him 11:28 to the best of their ability. 11:30 They're living up to every ray of light 11:31 that God has given them. 11:33 That's God's people. 11:35 So we need to quit saying, well, is this group, 11:37 is this denomination, is this? 11:39 Are we living up to every bit of light that God has given us? 11:42 If we are, He gonna continue to lead and guide us. 11:45 But the attacks have been made on God's last day church. 11:49 We like to think about even in our own personal church, 11:51 and we talked about I think Sister Kai even mentioned here 11:53 talking about 1844, the beginning of Adventism. 11:58 There's been umpteen kind of attacks upon the church. 12:02 It goes way back. 12:04 In fact, many, it goes so far back 12:07 that many of the saints 12:09 in that period of time in the middle 1800s, 12:11 they're asleep in Jesus now. 12:14 They have no witness to give right now. 12:16 But only thing that's left through these attacks 12:18 the enemy has made is that those things 12:21 that have been written, 12:22 those things that we can read, but you know what? 12:25 Sad to say, almost seem like God's people 12:27 have got deaf and dumb. 12:29 Can I say that? 12:31 It's almost like we got deaf and dumb, like, 12:32 well, we can't read, we can't understand. 12:34 No, we know better than that. 12:35 We're just not doing it. 12:37 But you don't have it like, 12:39 we just, last year da-da, da-da, 12:41 we just talked about. 12:42 Now we have to go back and read how the enemy has attacked 12:46 God's Church and how he wants to get rid of it. 12:49 The only witness we have maybe is a printed page now. 12:53 It's not like we have in the society that we have, 12:55 I'm getting sick and tired of this 12:57 canceled culture that's out there. 12:59 If you don't like it, just cancel them out. 13:01 If you don't like it, kill him. 13:04 Can we say that up here? 13:05 That's what they say, and they went on the news 13:07 and get rid of them. 13:08 If you don't like the way something took place 13:10 in history, just change it with something else, 13:12 and it's okay. 13:14 No, you can change it all you want, 13:15 but it's not going to change. 13:17 You know, I can change my birthday 13:19 all I want to, right? 13:20 And I can have it notarized. 13:22 I have the president to sign it. 13:23 But it's not going to change the hour, 13:25 the second the minute that I was born. 13:27 So if you were in your 30s, or your 40s, or even your 50s, 13:31 or even the 60s, you missed a lot that went on, 13:35 especially in Adventism. 13:37 You missed a lot of things that went on, 13:39 you have no idea of what has taken place, 13:42 how the enemy has attacked in so many different ways. 13:45 And these attacks have left its mark 13:48 upon the people of God. 13:50 Things that go on that you say is normal today 13:54 within the church and so on churches, 13:56 was not normal 50, 60, 70 years ago. 14:00 Everything seemed like has changed 14:01 and how could it change? 14:03 And was there a plan to get it to change? 14:07 Some who said, "Oh, I know all about it. 14:09 I've been a member for 20 years. 14:11 I've been a member of this church for 30 years. 14:13 I've been a member, 14:14 that goes farther back than that. 14:17 I mean, way back where the enemy is attacked. 14:21 You've missed a lot of those things. 14:22 That doesn't mean that, oh, you're guilty of anything, 14:24 but you've missed some things just went on. 14:28 And we talk about the things that people 14:31 after seemed like a year or two, 14:33 they don't talk about it anymore. 14:34 Have you ever noticed that in churches? 14:36 It's a big deal when it happens. 14:38 Everybody's talking about it. 14:40 Everybody's upset about it. 14:41 We're gonna leave the church. 14:43 We're not coming back anymore. 14:44 We're gonna wait, we don't want to go anymore. 14:46 And then after a year or two, it's like, 14:48 we just go ahead and accept it and its okay now. 14:52 It wasn't okay then, it wasn't scriptural then, 14:54 how did it become scriptural? 14:57 Did we just get tired of fighting it? 14:58 Did we just get tired of what was going on? 15:02 So what we talk a little bit about today, 15:05 I have seen personally, I have heard personally, 15:09 I've seen it personally, I've experienced it personally. 15:15 And the Lord keeps laying it on my heart that we need to, 15:17 because of the years that have passed, 15:20 that it's still out there, it's still prevalent, 15:23 it's still going on, and it's still wrong. 15:26 Still wrong. 15:29 And a warning must certainly be given. 15:33 Because I believe the seeds 15:35 that are planted will produce a harvest. 15:38 Is that true? 15:39 If you don't, you go, plant your garden, 15:42 the seeds that start blooming up in a little while. 15:44 We planted a bunch of corn and everything else. 15:46 And after first couple three weeks nothing's come up. 15:50 What a mess? Why in the world that didn't? 15:53 You expect that corn to come up, right? 15:55 So you actually had a few moments I went out there, 15:57 and where's the, where's the grass and the corn? 16:01 We got to be careful. 16:02 You know, Lord talks about, right? 16:04 Uprooting things before their time. 16:05 I had to look real close 16:06 before I can tell the difference between a weed 16:08 and a piece of corn coming out. 16:10 But you get to follow me. 16:11 You had to look real close while it's small. 16:13 So I want to make sure, 16:14 I didn't pull up the wrong thing. 16:16 Then I ran in the house. 16:18 I said, there's 50 stalks, 16:21 50 stalks coming up 50, 60, 100 ears of corn, 16:26 you know anyway, so it was kind of exciting, right? 16:30 God was working even in our unbelief, 16:32 like it's not coming up. 16:33 Remember, the only way, 16:35 the only way Satan can get to you, 16:37 anybody in here? 16:39 The only way he can get to you is through your mind. 16:44 Are you there? 16:45 Let's keep that in. 16:47 The only way that God through the Holy Spirit 16:49 can get to you is through what? 16:51 Is through the mind. 16:53 This is the mind games. 16:54 You hear it all the time. 16:56 There's things that's going on for the mind. 16:58 Any of you heard? 17:01 I want to say, honey, two or three parts, 17:02 two or three parts, but I didn't do it. 17:05 Any of you ever heard about NLP? 17:09 Yeah. 17:10 Yes, people heard about it or whatever. 17:12 See, I was alive and well and kicking 17:14 as we're going through all this. 17:17 I didn't like it then, I don't like it now. 17:19 That's neural linguistic programming, 17:22 dealing with reprogramming the mind. 17:26 And somehow it found its lodging in the church, 17:29 and millions with millions of people. 17:33 How about spiritual formation? 17:36 See, very brave people. 17:37 They all found their place in Adventism, 17:40 and is still there, still bearing fruit. 17:42 But most of us don't know it because we weren't there. 17:44 Too many years have passed. 17:46 No big deal. 17:47 It is because it's not scriptural. 17:50 New theology, a lot of new theology 17:52 has come forward, 17:54 lot of mind clearing games, 17:57 centering prayer, we got to be careful of. 18:00 You know, I simply like, pick a word 18:01 and go over and over it and get it inside yourself. 18:05 And then it always about mind, empty your mind. 18:09 Never empty your mind because the devil 18:12 will come in and take your mind. 18:14 When you empty your mind, 18:15 that means you have no defense against evil. 18:19 And that's what happens when you're hypnotized. 18:23 That's what happens. 18:24 You empty the mind and all of a sudden, 18:26 that person who's hypnotizing you could put anything 18:29 he wants in that mind, because there's no, 18:32 there's no opposition. 18:34 It's very heavy duty meditative prayer. 18:38 Huh. You concentrate. 18:40 Now, how could this come into the church? 18:41 I just, I'm simple minded. 18:43 So I read in the Scripture. 18:44 The disciples said something like this, teach us to pray. 18:48 They asked the King of the universe, 18:49 did they not? 18:51 Teach us to pray. 18:52 And He taught them to pray. 18:54 But now all of a sudden, in this age that we live in, 18:56 in the 90s and so on, this really is hitting heavy. 19:01 They said, we have a new way we can pray now. 19:04 When I go back the way Jesus said, teach us to pray. 19:07 And here's what you do. 19:08 You have to breathe a certain way. 19:10 Hmm. 19:11 Breathe. 19:13 And you can visualize and you can use imagery. 19:15 And listen, this is so close to New Age, 19:18 and this is so close to the Eastern techniques. 19:22 Right now paganism. 19:24 It's not funny to even mention, 19:26 but how did all this paganism place 19:28 its thinking creep from there into the church, 19:32 and so called sane men and women, 19:34 leaders accepted as good and it works. 19:37 Because it begins to change your mind and you are, 19:40 you're a better church. 19:42 You're better members because you listen better 19:44 and you'll do what we asked you to do, 19:45 and you won't question it. 19:50 That sounds strange, doesn't it? 19:52 It went all over, still going all over contemplative prayer. 19:57 All these things happen to mind. 20:00 Number one, they'll say to you will empty your mind, 20:04 empty your mind and say something, 20:06 a line or two some over and over, 20:09 so resembles the ancient mystical practices. 20:14 Mind, listen, mind empty, Satan works. 20:18 Does that make sense? 20:19 Mind empty, Satan works. 20:22 When Adam and Eve, if you read Patriarchs and Prophets, 20:25 page 56 says this, after sin, it talks about, their thought, 20:30 they thought that they had entered 20:33 upon a higher state of existence. 20:36 Think about before sin entered in, 20:39 that's perfectly happy, isn't that right? 20:41 Everything was perfect. 20:44 They didn't lack for anything. 20:46 They could communicate with God, 20:48 they communicated with the angels, 20:50 they were warned about the tree of life. 20:53 Everything was there and open for them, 20:56 just as the warnings were given there, 20:58 help was given there. 20:59 And yet somehow, when sin came in, 21:03 oh, and you know what? 21:05 People who go through, 21:06 just few of the things that I mentioned here, 21:08 you know what they'll tell you a lot of times as Christians, 21:10 and I've talked to them. 21:13 We've experienced something we have never experienced 21:15 before in our prayer time. 21:20 Interesting. 21:22 Interesting, because that's what Adam and Eve thought, 21:25 see, because it was something new to their mind 21:28 that hadn't been there before, because there was no sin, 21:32 forming the conscience through hypnotism. 21:35 Jeremiah 6:16, you realize your bottom line on that, 21:38 "Thus saith the Lord stand," where? 21:40 In the ways, and see, 21:42 and ask the Lord for the old paths." 21:43 How many are asking, really, Lord give me the old path. 21:46 It didn't take much of an individual, 21:49 if he's walking through, you know, heavy vegetated area, 21:53 if there's a little path, isn't that right? 21:56 When you see a little path right there, 21:57 you're gonna go cut out through where you can't even walk, 21:59 what you're gonna do is got what? 22:01 You're gonna try stay in that little path, 22:03 because there's many has been down that path 22:05 before evidently. 22:07 And so we need to be asking, Lord, give me the old paths, 22:10 because a lot of people have been through this before. 22:13 And then God said, I'll give you those paths. 22:14 But I want you to walk in there. 22:16 And if you walk in these paths, 22:17 you will find rest for your soul. 22:19 And they said, "No, we're not going to do it." 22:22 See the people today, God said, "I'll teach you how to pray." 22:24 And they said, "Well, no, we're not gonna do that." 22:25 We're gonna, there's something new here, 22:27 Joe so and so or somebody high in the church said, 22:30 this is a wonderful experience. 22:31 And they've never experienced anything like it 22:33 before in all their 50 years in the church, 22:35 and they feel good about it. 22:37 And they want you to feel good about it. 22:39 Have you experienced it? Well, no. 22:41 Oh, you need to. 22:42 Oh, come on, come on, come on, come to me. 22:44 Oh, friends, you need to realize 22:46 what's going on here. 22:48 Changes are nothing new. 22:50 There can be good changes, and there can be bad changes. 22:54 But praise God, we have the Word, isn't that right? 22:57 We have the Word of God. 22:59 So when the spiritual changes 23:01 comes about, we can weigh it out 23:03 to make sure that we are staying in what? 23:05 The old paths. 23:07 Nothing wrong with staying in the old paths. 23:10 Several years ago, 23:11 we as a people have experienced, 23:14 I must say, it's a well-organized, 23:17 a well-orchestrated campaign 23:21 for massive changes. 23:24 See, most of you, I've been in the church 10 years, 23:25 they'll say I've been 20 years in the church, I've been 30. 23:28 You didn't know of any massive changes, 23:30 but they were there. 23:32 And really, most of the time, 23:33 you're not allowed to talk about them. 23:35 But if you talk about them, you get in trouble. 23:37 And they say, well, this is not happening, 23:38 but the fruit is still there. 23:41 It still happens. 23:42 So why can't we just discuss it 23:44 to see if it's from God or if it's not from God. 23:48 But some of these massive changes 23:50 I'm talking about involves the most, 23:53 the most diabolical form of mind control 23:57 techniques available. 24:00 Did you get it? 24:02 Diabolical. 24:03 You saying diabolical, you're simply saying 24:05 characteristics of the devil. 24:07 Characteristics of the devil, it's evil suggestions, 24:12 the devil, devilish. 24:15 Many times you'll say, well, it's devilish. 24:18 This plan did not come in among us. 24:24 As it came in among us many changes ensues, 24:28 especially in our worship service 24:30 and we found ourselves pattering ourselves. 24:36 May I say Babylon? 24:38 We found ourselves pattering ourselves after Babylon. 24:42 Talking about your heathen and different things, 24:44 but other churches, 24:48 all the years we didn't have to pattern ourselves. 24:51 We had the Word of God, 24:52 was patterned after the Word of God 24:54 and what Jesus taught New Testament Church, 24:55 so we knew what to do. 24:57 But all of a sudden that wasn't good enough. 24:59 There wasn't enough emotion. 25:00 There wasn't enough a feeling. 25:01 The most dead people in the whole world 25:03 in church service sometime is Seventh-day Adventist. 25:07 Well, prove me wrong? 25:10 See some people say, oh, you shouldn't say that. 25:11 Oh, man, take him on. 25:13 It's true. 25:15 It's true. 25:17 Years I grew up, I went to, 25:21 they call the cemetery every week instead of church. 25:24 They were dead. 25:26 People were afraid to say amen, 25:29 they're afraid to say hallelujah, praise God. 25:34 Doesn't make it all wrong, I'm just simply saying it, 25:36 so there was something about 25:38 when some joy and a little excitement came, 25:40 people were looking for something new, 25:44 they were looking for a way 25:45 and I believe there can be a wonderful balance. 25:49 You know, I heard some praying what? 25:51 Well, I just talk about it? 25:53 Is okay to just talk about a little bit. 25:56 We're getting our morning prayer here, 25:58 I heard Brother Mark talk prior he said, 26:00 thank God for a ministry 26:03 that the message goes around the world. 26:07 No, no he used to now, 26:09 you're not going to but no sweets now. 26:12 No sweets. 26:14 I want to hear it then. 26:17 Now maybe are deaf, okay? 26:19 So I can't hear it, okay? 26:21 Maybe I didn't hear it, 26:22 but I don't think I heard one amen. 26:26 I'm not gonna try to scold you, so you'll say amen next. 26:28 I want you to believe it when you say it. 26:29 But when you feel it, say it. 26:32 Praise God for an opportunity to reach people for Jesus. 26:37 Somebody should jump up over a pew or something. 26:40 Right? 26:42 I mean, really think about, 26:44 that's fulfilling the commission 26:45 that God has given, 26:47 and how many people have that opportunity 26:48 that God's given this little church, 26:49 an opportunity to reach the world, 26:51 go ye into all the world and do what? 26:53 Preach the gospel of Jesus. 26:55 Go you where? 26:56 Go to the highways and the byways 26:57 that compel them to come in. 26:59 This is not the highway, this is not the byway, 27:01 it's outside out there, go, get into the prisons, 27:04 get into the house and get into the cities 27:06 that you can't get into. 27:07 See, that's why I'm saying somebody should get excited. 27:10 Not that we're worthies, a little group right here 27:13 has nothing to do with that. 27:14 God is great. 27:15 That's what it has to do with. 27:17 God is good. 27:18 God is powerful. 27:19 And God says, this is what I want from My people. 27:21 And when you see it fulfill a miracle, a miracle. 27:26 It's a miracle. 27:29 Oh, it's good. 27:30 Oh. 27:32 But the enemy says, I don't like this. 27:33 And there's, there's too much going on. 27:35 And I'm going to try to, I'm going to try 27:37 to get the people out that solid old pass. 27:40 I'm going to try to develop a faith based upon feelings 27:43 and one based upon emotion 27:45 and not really on the thus saith the Lord. 27:48 I'm going to try to reform the conscience. 27:51 See, many of us have no idea 27:53 that this is all an outward plan. 27:55 Anybody ever heard of Vatican II? 27:59 Heard of Vatican? 28:00 Listen, all I'm talking about, that all you have to do 28:02 is get your copy, Vatican II, Pope John Paul II so on. 28:07 I'll say this about, 28:09 it's not to put down the Catholic Church. 28:12 They'll tell you exactly what they're planning to do. 28:15 And they'll put it right underneath your nose and say, 28:16 what are you gonna do about it? 28:18 See, most people don't know that, 28:20 Ben, they have no idea. 28:21 They just say, "Oh, I surely don't know." 28:23 They put it out there and say this is exactly 28:25 what we're going to do with the world. 28:27 And here's who we're going to use to do it. 28:29 Here's how we're going to stamp out if they don't do it. 28:32 I can read those things, I've read those things. 28:35 And you know what? 28:37 That's several years ago, and you can see it now. 28:39 And then we come along Pope Francis 28:41 and he has bowed his head to that, right? 28:44 Pope John II said, we're going to be doing exactly that. 28:47 But we have to change since we believe 28:49 that we're going to be under world dominion, 28:52 we're going to take the world under control. 28:55 Because the Bible said the whole world will wander. 28:58 They're gonna wander after the beast 29:00 and they are those who is what? 29:01 Whose names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 29:04 Don't let your name be one of those. 29:08 Because the Bible predicts the majority of the world 29:11 will wander after the beast power. 29:13 And their names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life. 29:16 So it has to say it's a religious power, 29:18 does it not? 29:20 It deals with eternal life, eternal damnation. 29:23 Interesting thought. 29:26 Man, don't let it pass by without giving us 29:28 some more thoughts and more study. 29:30 And so they said, we're going to put forth 29:33 a, listen, a reform of the conscience. 29:36 We're going to try to reform in the mind 29:39 your conscience to where you don't fight 29:41 against the Mother Church of Rome, 29:44 that you accept her teachings and her dogmas, 29:47 my lands of love, 29:51 right out in front of your nose. 29:54 And then we say, oh, let's not talk that way now. 29:56 We need to be careful. 29:57 No, I'm not gonna be careful. 29:59 And I'm not trying to be smart, 30:01 you know, I'm just not trying to be smarter about it. 30:04 But I say for too long, 30:05 it's like the Lord said on this earth, 30:07 present this before the people, 30:08 because many of them have no idea really 30:10 what's going on and how powerful the enemy. 30:13 I'm not trying to give him credit. 30:14 Let's just talk a way that it is. 30:16 Was he not the fourth in heaven? 30:18 You better believe. 30:19 You think he doesn't know what's going on 30:21 after 6000 years of experience. 30:22 And he was way ahead of you and me 30:23 before he started. 30:25 He was perfect. 30:27 I don't know how long he was perfect. 30:29 I don't know what all he saw while he was there. 30:31 But I know, he saw God in creation. 30:33 I know he saw God in action. 30:35 And I know that he reverenced God, 30:36 he feared God. 30:38 But he wanted Jesus' job, didn't he? 30:43 He's smarter than some of us. 30:45 When God speaks, he has to listen. 30:49 Yeah, sometimes he speaks to us. 30:51 And we'll say, yeah, but you know, what about. 30:53 Oh, well, you know, we think we know. 30:55 Oh, it's so sad. 30:57 Where did this stuff all come from? 31:00 Remember, it's still going on in the churches, 31:02 it has been going for umpteen years. 31:06 How could the remnant church, 31:08 how could any church be duped into this kind 31:12 of thing to let it come in? 31:14 Because somebody said, "Oh, it's such an experience, 31:16 man, you don't want to miss it." 31:17 Oh, you feel so good. 31:20 Oh, well, let's try surely can't, can't hurt. 31:25 Yeah, but look at 31:26 all the principles that are there. 31:28 It sound like spiritualism. 31:33 Ancient mysticism, things are just, 31:35 it don't sound right. 31:36 Well, then that's warning right then to stay away from it. 31:41 I'm saying it happened before and it can happen again. 31:44 You're gonna say no, I know what you're gonna say, 31:45 it can. 31:47 As we near the end of time, there's no doubt about it. 31:49 The enemy is going try to unsettle your faith. 31:52 But first of all, you're going to have to have a faith. 31:55 And you need to be settled in a faith. 31:57 This jumping around and then a fog sometime, 31:59 you don't know where you're going 32:00 and what you're going to do, get out of that man, 32:02 somebody gets settled in the concrete. 32:04 Somebody get a good firm foundation, 32:06 get a good footing and stand on it. 32:09 Take a stand and God will bless you for that. 32:12 But the enemy said, I'm gonna, you know what I'm gonna do? 32:14 I'm gonna sidetrack John. 32:17 I'm gonna sidetrack Kenny, he's easy to sidetrack. 32:21 Huh. 32:22 Get our minds off of what we should, 32:24 you know should be thinking about. 32:26 Is it possible that the enemy will be using, 32:30 you know, mind control techniques before Jesus 32:32 shall come on God's last day people, hypnotizing, 32:36 listen carefully, the very elect. 32:40 Well, think about it, very elect. 32:45 Now, let's discuss this just for a moment, shall we? 32:48 Because this is, it's one that you'll say, hmm. 32:50 And then you'll go, hmm, and then you'll, hmm. 32:53 The very elect, Matthew 24:24, what does this say? 32:56 "For there shall arise false Christs, 32:58 false prophets," isn't that right? 33:00 "And shall show great signs and," what? 33:03 "And wonders that if it," what? 33:05 "If it were possible they shall, 33:08 they shall deceive the very elect." 33:12 They shall deceive. 33:14 That means that in the Greek it says 33:15 that they caused to err, that means they're going to... 33:20 Strange things are going to take place, 33:23 it's going to cause them to wander away 33:24 just a little bit. 33:26 People will get wrapped up in some of the things 33:28 I've just mentioned here quickly 33:29 if we don't have time to cover it all. 33:30 These are people who are lukewarm in the church 33:33 that doesn't have 33:34 a real experience with Jesus Christ, 33:35 and they're looking for something. 33:39 Come on now. 33:41 Because it's not laid out in Scripture. 33:44 But yet there's emotions and feelings 33:46 and people telling you how good it is, 33:48 and you want to go that direction, 33:50 the very elect, the chosen of God. 33:57 We have too much of this, I think sometime in the world 33:59 and in the church. 34:01 Though we set our self up as judge 34:03 and jury and executioner. 34:06 And we, you know, we judge others by a standard 34:11 of our own devising. 34:13 Did you get it? 34:15 This is what we think, rather than 34:17 what God's Word said, we will be judged by what? 34:19 The perfect law of liberty in James, what is it? 2:10-12. 34:23 We'll all be judged by the perfect law of liberty. 34:26 The Ten Commandments law will be judged. 34:29 But remember, it doesn't save you but it points 34:30 out what sin is, this should drive you to Jesus to gain 34:33 the victory. 34:34 Let's go back to the beginning just a little bit here. 34:36 I'm going to ask you a question. 34:37 I'm going to challenge you a little bit with it here. 34:39 Adam and Eve. 34:40 Adam and Eve before the fall, before sin. 34:44 How would we classify them? 34:47 Good. We'll classify them as what? 34:50 Very, oh, we will classify Adam 34:53 and Eve before sin, isn't that right? 34:54 In the garden as perfect. 34:56 There was no sin. 34:58 They were the elect of God. 35:01 But notice, Matthew says, notice, shall deceive, 35:05 "If possible shall deceive the very elect." 35:09 Oh, come on, look at you here. 35:11 But think about it with me just a moment. 35:14 Adam and Eve, being the very elect of God, 35:18 but somehow the enemy came in, and he deceived them. 35:22 Hello? 35:24 Yeah, they were perfect though, weren't they? 35:26 They were perfect before sin. 35:28 I would say they were the very elect. 35:31 So when I read the passage, 35:32 like, shall deceive the very least. 35:34 I don't think myself as an elect. 35:35 But I think if I stay close to Jesus, 35:36 there ain't no way the devil gonna get me. 35:38 He said, whoo-whoo. Well, oh-oh. 35:42 You're just what I'm looking for? 35:45 That's what? 35:46 We need to be careful only by the grace of God, 35:48 isn't that right? 35:49 That we won't be deceived because the whole world 35:51 is going to be deceived. 35:53 He's not playing games. This is a real McCoy. 35:58 Somehow he deceived them into sin. 36:01 Now, how did the enemy get it done? 36:04 How did the enemy get this thing done? 36:06 Have you heard that old saying? 36:08 It's not maybe an old saying, 36:09 but it's something we use a lot in baseball. 36:11 John, he says three strikes and you're out. 36:13 John used to be an umpire, he say strike three you're out 36:16 and then they turned on him and wanted to beat him up 36:19 because he was the umpire and he called them out, 36:20 they didn't think it was a strike. 36:23 Three strikes and you're out. 36:25 The enemy used that a long time before baseball came in. 36:29 Let me tell you the three things 36:30 he used on this world 36:32 which started with Eve. 36:33 Very first thing was strike 36:34 one was this and, ladies, remember this, 36:37 because it's pointed to the ladies. 36:39 Are you still with me? 36:41 The very first err was 36:43 she wandered away from her husband. 36:47 Oh look at the long faces boy, oh boy, 36:49 oh boy. 36:50 It is what it is. It is what it is. 36:54 God said them, told them right there, 36:56 He gave them work and He said stay together. 36:59 And the world today is because we wander 37:01 in so many different directions. 37:03 That sometimes the ladies and in the men they're out 37:06 away from their partner a lot more than 37:08 they are with them. 37:09 And temptation is there and the devil is working. 37:13 God assigned, but here we realize Eve what? 37:17 She, what Eve did? 37:19 She gave into the enemy. Right? Why? 37:22 Eve wanted to be something that she was not. 37:25 She wanted to attend. 37:26 You can read lot of this here, I've got information on 37:28 if you're still questioning that, 37:29 that's not trying to pick on anything or anybody. 37:32 I'll read Early Writings, 147, "The angels warned them, 37:35 Adam and Eve, of Satan and," notice in, 37:37 "cautioned them not to separate from each other." 37:41 Satan, ah-huh, commenced his work on Eve. 37:44 She first erred in wandering from her husband." 37:46 That's pretty clear. 37:48 Said don't separate because there's gonna be an enemy here 37:50 and you know just one of you, 37:52 it's lot easier for one to be taken rather than two. 37:54 I do that sometime, get little carried away. 37:56 She'd say, "Honey, remember who you are." 37:58 So that's a good wife. 38:01 Remember what you represent 38:03 when I want to get carried away, 38:05 when I want to sass back when I don't want to argue. 38:09 Okay, you guys not gonna get. 38:12 When I want to stand my ground. 38:15 That's right. 38:16 And sometime we might want to stand it a little too, 38:19 you know, too rigid. 38:21 Just say, remember who you are. 38:23 That means a child of God, not better than anybody else, 38:25 but I'm accountable to God and who I represent. 38:28 And that's that always sticks in my mind. 38:31 Number two quickly, second error. 38:34 What did she do? 38:37 She went to the tree and lingered around. 38:42 Oh the only tree in the garden she said, 38:45 God said stay away from. 38:48 Second err, she got to the where it's by, 38:50 like you if you've got a weakness don't go there. 38:54 Yeah, you know, 38:56 if you're used to be an alcoholic 38:58 why go and stand at the... 38:59 Yeah, John raise your hand. 39:00 You're an alcoholic stand there at the door of the tavern 39:03 and smell it, right? 39:04 Why get close to that press but you will fall in. 39:08 Do you like to dance or whatever might be, 39:10 don't go to around the dance halls 39:12 because you hear the music. 39:14 Somebody. Boy, oh, boy. 39:17 You said that you know it, it's still in the system. 39:20 You got to watch it. 39:22 That's what we're told to be on guard. 39:23 She lingered around that forbidden tree. 39:26 Remember, unmindful of the angel's caution. 39:30 Notice this, all ye who are here all the time. 39:35 Well, I was just curious. 39:38 Oh, they say curiosity killed the cat. 39:42 Because little cats, 39:43 they're most curious little things I've ever seen. 39:45 We have four of them 39:46 and I'm being there into everything. 39:49 Every time you turn, you don't hear them but they're 39:50 just in there, but I say, oh, 39:52 they're just so curious about everything. 39:56 But she was curious about this tree 39:58 and what was there and what? 40:01 It was the forbidden tree she stayed there, 40:03 instead of fleeing when she knew she should, 40:06 she didn't do it. 40:08 When you know the Holy Spirit is saying, you need to go, 40:10 you need to go. 40:12 Don't stand around in that situation, 40:14 you will be taken. 40:17 Three, third error, she doubted what God had said. 40:21 Did you get it? 40:23 God says this in the Word, 40:25 we've been saying, yeah, I know. 40:26 But you know, this is 2021 now. 40:30 So what? 40:32 Still same. 40:34 Patriarchs and Prophets 55 said, notice this. 40:36 "She disbelieved the words of God, 40:38 and this was what led to her fall." 40:41 She what? Disbelieved the Word. 40:42 If we just believe the Word of God, 40:44 it leads to our fall, 40:45 we have nothing else to stand on by faith. 40:47 We've heard people say, only believe. 40:50 Did you ever hear that? I like that. 40:52 Don't get me wrong. I want you to think with me. 40:54 Here people say, we don't have to be obedient to God, 40:56 we don't have to be obedient to anything, we don't... 40:58 Just believe. 40:59 Just believe that's, oh, it's very interesting. 41:02 Eve really believed 41:04 the Satan. 41:08 But her belief did not save her 41:11 from the penalty of sin. 41:13 Her what? Her belief. 41:15 She really believed what he said 41:17 or she wouldn't have done it. 41:19 But it didn't save her from the penalty, did it? 41:21 Which was death upon her, right? 41:23 And, of course, God had mercy and put them out 41:25 of the garden for a while. 41:27 So only believe is not enough. Praise God for it. 41:31 So again, whatever contradicts the Word of God, 41:33 we may be sure, comes from Satan. Why? 41:38 Because I've read enough times Isaiah 8:20. 41:41 Bible says, notice this, if you want to know 41:43 what truth is, it says, 41:45 "To the law and to the testimony 41:46 if it speaks not according to this 41:48 is because there is no light in them." 41:51 You can debate that all you want, 41:52 you can heap it up, you can try to cover over, 41:56 and truth is gonna surface back up. 41:58 The Bible says, to the law and to the testimony 42:01 of Jesus Christ, the life, the teachings 42:02 of Christ, His Word. 42:04 If they don't speak, if they say, 42:05 you don't have to worry about the law of God, 42:07 you don't worry about, you're in trouble to get rid 42:09 of that which points out where I err, 42:12 where I going wrong. 42:15 I need that. 42:16 Oh, there's those tin coke, 42:17 Kenny, you stole this, thou shall not steal. 42:19 No, that doesn't save me at all. 42:21 Being obedient that doesn't... Lord have mercy on me. 42:23 I'm sorry, I stole that. 42:25 I didn't know I wasn't supposed to steal. 42:27 Okay. 42:28 Law and the testimony is because there's no 42:30 light in them, be careful about saying 42:32 we don't have to be obedient, because you 42:35 have to do away with it. 42:36 That's just one of many, many dozens 42:37 and hundreds of passages. 42:39 Letter 42, 1909 says it. 42:41 "Satanic agencies," listen, we know this, 42:44 "Satanic agencies in human form 42:46 will take part in this last great conflict to oppose 42:49 the building up of the kingdom of God." 42:52 When we see the building up of the kingdom of God here, 42:54 all the other places around the world today, 42:56 the enemy is present. 42:58 Now notice how he shows up, 43:00 he doesn't show up in it with himself. 43:01 He shows up in the form of people. 43:03 He uses people who have not committed their life 43:07 and mind to Jesus Christ. 43:08 Does that make sense? 43:10 Sure, the devil himself is going to appear 43:12 as an angel of light. 43:13 Isn't that right? 43:15 Before Jesus come, he's going to claim to be Christ on earth. 43:16 And the whole world, the Bible says is gonna today, oh, my. 43:20 This is him. Surely, this is Jesus. 43:24 Absolutely. 43:26 Remember what happened to Eve happened to all 43:29 of us who choose to sin or transgress 43:31 the law of God. 43:34 Here's the sad part. 43:36 The one that she supposedly, 43:38 she's supposed to love God supremely, right? 43:40 But that happened not to be. 43:43 Are you still with me? She made another choice. 43:46 But second we'd say in line 43:47 was she would still love her husband. 43:51 Oh, some of you women, my lands, 43:53 somebody stand and shout. 43:54 Man, oh, man, look, you're gonna love your husband. 43:59 Isn't that, right? 44:00 That's only where in the Bible he said, 44:02 well, I have children, nor I have grandchildren, 44:03 I love them all. 44:05 Bible said husband and wife when they become married, 44:08 Brother Mark, they become one. 44:10 It doesn't say that about any other. 44:12 Do they, does it? I don't know. 44:14 I don't, I don't it says they become one. 44:16 It's a different relationship. So we see here. 44:20 So what did she do? 44:22 Oh, soon as she's transgressed, 44:26 she became the agent 44:28 of Satan to work the ruin of her husband. 44:32 Some of you're not getting that. 44:35 She became the agent. 44:38 She didn't want to do that, 44:39 she wouldn't have done that before 44:41 she made the wrong choice. 44:42 She loved him. 44:43 She would give her life for him 44:45 and him her and he did. 44:48 Wow. 44:49 Think about it, she became the agent 44:51 of Satan and working her husband's ruin. 44:53 What happened to his mind? What happened to her mind? 44:56 Who were they? 44:58 They were sinless before, notice this, 45:00 before making this choice. 45:03 Listen very carefully this, please, listen. 45:05 in Letter 159, 1903, 45:07 it says, "Satan tempted the first Adam and Eve." 45:08 Are we still okay with that? 45:10 Notice this, "Adam reason with the enemy." 45:14 Do you ever want to reason with the enemy? Herb? 45:18 Do we ever, you want to reason with the enemy, 45:20 or you might get beat? 45:22 That very few people can beat him mentally. 45:25 But you better not try to reason with the enemy, 45:27 you'll get beat. 45:29 I can't reason with the enemy, you know what I'm saying, 45:31 you know, like, let's talk this over here, 45:33 well, this is why blah-blah. 45:36 Other words, if you stopped to talk, 45:37 Eve stopped to talk to the enemy and she was done. 45:40 There was a reason why. 45:41 We stopped to say, "Well, I know what you said, 45:43 Lord, but we're already going to go do that." 45:45 And we better watch out. 45:47 Notice this, thus giving him the advantage, 45:49 the devil the advantage Satan, notice this, come on, 45:52 Satan exercised his power 45:54 of hypnosis over Adam and Eve, 45:58 the power he strove to exercise over Christ. 46:02 But after the word of scripture was quoted, 46:04 Satan knew that he had no chance of triumphing. 46:09 See here, Satan doesn't have a chance 46:11 when you quote scripture. 46:12 You want to try to reason, let's talk this, 46:13 you know like lawyers, when we get together 46:15 we're gonna discuss this. 46:16 We need to sit down and have conversation. 46:17 You hear that all the time now? 46:19 You don't have conversation with the devil. 46:20 He'll take you every time. 46:22 He'll take me every time. 46:24 It's just the knowledge of that. 46:26 What did he use? 46:28 He had them, they made the choice to be on his side 46:31 and the enemy then what? 46:32 Captivated them with ethic hypnotic trance, 46:35 as it were, he began to what? 46:37 They were, they couldn't say no basically at all. 46:40 He won them over. Ah. 46:44 Review and Herald 7, my time is going by fast, 46:47 7-28-1874 says this. 46:49 See if you can find something wrong with this. 46:51 "Four thousand years after Adam turned his back upon 46:54 the light of his home, 46:55 separated from the presence of God, 46:58 the human family had been departing, 47:00 notice this, every successive generation, 47:03 farther from the original purity, and wisdom, 47:06 and knowledge which Adam possessed in Eden. 47:09 What does that mean? 47:11 As time has went on, right? 47:12 Since the fall, what's happened? 47:13 It's getting worse, not better and better. 47:15 The Bible says, the earth will wax worse 47:18 and worse unto the coming of Jesus. 47:20 Not better and better. 47:22 But the world's looking at somebody say, 47:23 oh boy is gonna be that 1000 year millennia, 47:25 man, it's gonna be a wonderful time. 47:27 Oh, we're gonna have another opportunity. 47:28 But it doesn't say that. 47:31 And how the devil is throwing it out there that was 47:33 hypnotizing your mind to say, oh, I need another chance. 47:35 I'm a mess. 47:37 I messed up this time, I need another, blah-blah... 47:38 And ask for forgiveness and start up, 47:40 he'll give you another opportunity. 47:42 We got to do it the right way. 47:44 We got to do it the right way. 47:48 Every successive generation is going farther 47:50 and farther away from the purity, 47:52 and from the wisdom and the knowledge 47:54 which Adam possessed in Eden. 47:56 Now, what's my point? 47:58 What does this mean? 48:00 We are not today even close to an Adam 48:04 and Eve in the garden. 48:07 Is that true? 48:08 I mean, not even close. 48:12 And look what happened to them. 48:14 Look what happened to them with all their wisdom 48:16 and their knowledge. 48:17 And they walked with God, they seen, you know, 48:19 face to face before sin, watched Him create worlds 48:22 and so on and so forth. 48:24 The wisdom and the knowledge they have came from God Himself 48:27 and look at us poor, but we can't explain 48:29 how we get home sometime. 48:32 Is it truth? I forget how. 48:35 What's my address? 48:36 Come on, look! 48:37 So I'm just simply saying we can't put ourselves out 48:40 of focus with God ever. 48:42 We've got to rely on Him. 48:44 Oh, God have mercy on me. I'm like a little child. 48:47 I need help from day to day. 48:50 Is it possible that all the events 48:52 that's going on in the world today 48:53 that most of us is like, 48:55 almost like we've been hypnotized that we don't see 48:56 the necessity of things that's going. 48:58 We don't understand. 49:01 We have to realize that the evil 49:04 angels are combining together. 49:07 They're consolidating, 49:09 and they're strengthening for one 49:10 great battle that's coming on this world. 49:14 They're working because they know this time 49:16 has run out and you and I are sitting around like 49:18 we've got forever. 49:20 There's a lot of preaching about truth. 49:22 There's a lot of hot air about truth. 49:25 You hear a lot of time there but you know what? 49:27 Truth must take root in the heart. 49:30 And then that change comes about through that truth. 49:32 If it's not, it's just a bunch 49:34 of hot air as we talked about before. 49:37 True sometime is painful, sometime it causes some hurt, 49:40 but it also can cause some growth in Jesus Christ. 49:44 How wonderful it is, 49:45 especially since we're nearing the end of time. 49:48 It's now that we must investigate 49:51 what the enemy is trying to do to the people 49:53 of God here that we are not deceived. 49:56 He, Satan, notice this, Manuscript 34, 49:58 He, Satan comes in garments of light. 50:00 How's he come? 50:02 He don't come like the old devil. 50:03 He's gonna come to try to deceive me and fool me. 50:05 Come like the old devil looking like what we think the devil 50:07 might look like we're frightened, 50:08 we turn and run, maybe run the other way. 50:10 But he's gonna come as an angel of light. 50:12 You say, "Ooh, I've never seen anything like this. 50:13 Man, this is good." 50:16 That he may deceive, notice this, 50:18 we need to use great caution to closely 50:21 investigate his decision, lest we be deceived. 50:25 In the documents of Vatican II, it calls for leaders. 50:29 Now, Mike, this is, this is bonus. 50:31 They call for pastors and priests to, 50:35 notice this, to introduce reform. 50:39 Reform to do what? 50:40 To alter Will's thinking, to alter Kenny's thinking. 50:45 Read that on page 46 there of Vatican II documents. 50:49 What does that mean? 50:51 According to the Vatican documents II 50:53 page 84 this formation means this. 50:56 The formation of the conscience in harmony 51:00 with the sacred and the certain teachings 51:03 of the Catholic Church. 51:05 Somebody is not there, somebody is, 51:07 somebody should throw something, 51:08 somebody should say something right here. 51:12 Yeah, praise God because what? 51:15 That's what it says, the world will wander after 51:17 we look at them, they're here, is they're putting everything 51:20 out in the church and they're doing it under, 51:22 you know, a lot of the evangelical movements, 51:24 a lot of different things that are happening, 51:26 let's just be honest, 51:27 things that are going on to mess with the conscience. 51:31 And take the conscience and direct it back 51:33 around to where it will be 51:35 and say now pretty soon they're going to be agreeing 51:37 with the Catholic Church. 51:39 That's what Vatican II document says. 51:40 So you can read it for yourself. 51:44 And then they said this, 51:45 then what we want to do is and they've done it, 51:48 put it in all institutions 51:50 of advanced learning on page 515 of Vatican II. 51:54 They put it all out there for people to read to see 51:56 and understand and somehow 51:58 we grabbed it because we said, 51:59 oh, this is gonna be new and exciting. 52:01 The church needs to wake up, 52:02 we've been dead for too long. 52:03 Listen, instead of where it came from. 52:06 Mind control techniques will be gradually introduced. 52:09 Spiritualism, hypnotism confuse the minds of people, 52:15 as Vatican pushes for global dominion. 52:19 Yeah, common good. 52:22 The servant of the Lord said hypnotism 52:24 is the most awful science ever advocated. 52:27 Satan works through hypnotism just before 52:30 the close of probation. 52:31 Let me read one more thing here. 52:32 Times run out, Five Testimonies 11-6-1884, 52:37 the advantages he, Satan takes of the sciences, 52:40 sciences which pertain to the human mind 52:43 is tremendous. 52:45 Here serpent-like, 52:46 he imperceptibly creeps into the corrupt 52:48 work to corrupt the work of God. 52:51 This entering of Satan, he will devise, notice this, 52:54 through the channel of phrenology, which is what? 52:58 Measuring the mind, you know what? 52:59 The study of the size of the mind 53:01 and so on to say, what your character 53:03 is going to be and all this, 53:04 that proves to be nothing but a big lie. 53:06 He works through psychology mesmerism, 53:08 which is hypnosis. 53:10 He comes more directly to the people 53:11 of this generation and works with power, 53:14 which he is to characterize his efforts near 53:17 the close of probation. 53:20 His efforts, notice this, 53:22 is going to be working like he's never worked before, 53:24 because he knows the time is running out. 53:26 Do you realize that time is running out. 53:28 We're not even halfway through, but we got to close. 53:31 He's out to change your character, 53:33 the way that you think. 53:35 And the way he's brought these different things in 53:37 to the churches, has made us rethink our position 53:41 rather than a study solid what God has said in His Word, 53:45 to what men are saying and good times and feelings 53:48 and emotions rather than a thus saith the Lord. 53:51 What will God's last day people do? 53:54 What will we do? 53:57 The enemy is to trying to enslave your conscience. 54:02 That's exactly as we read in the Word of God. 54:05 Because the Christian world is making movements right now 54:09 is going through, there's movement right now 54:11 that's going to bring the commandment keeping people 54:13 you will live to see it, no doubt, 54:15 people into prominence. 54:17 Movements are being set right now to enslave 54:20 the conscience of those who would be loyal to God. 54:23 Will you be loyal to God? 54:25 The lawmaking powers will be against God's people. 54:28 Every soul will be tested. 54:31 Where are you going to stand? 54:33 Where am I gonna stand? 54:35 We've got to stand on the side of Christ, isn't that right? 54:38 Now I think this, probably subject deserves 54:40 more time as we go in and try to describe many of the things 54:44 we just talked about, whether it's NLP, 54:47 whether it's, you know, formation and all this business 54:49 we need to go into it, all the prayers, 54:51 different things, because you will 54:53 see them happening right out in the open. 54:56 And you know what? 54:57 People just accept, we just accept that 54:58 as the people we just don't see anything anymore. 55:02 Remember, where it came from? 55:03 And how it's established and how it came in? 55:06 We need to look at it closely and say God, do we, 55:08 we want to worship the way You said in Your Word. 55:10 We want to get back to the old pass. 55:13 How many like to say to me, by God's grace, 55:14 I want to get back to the old path. 55:16 I don't need all the new stuff going on, isn't that right? 55:19 I need to just follow the Word of God 55:21 and He will be faithful to us. 55:22 Let's pray, shall we? 55:25 Loving Father in heaven, 55:27 truly we thank You for Your Word. 55:28 Thank You that You continue to bring out many 55:30 of these things which happened several years ago that many 55:34 people who've come in the last 20-30 years, 55:35 they have no idea what's going on. 55:37 But, Lord, they can't help that, we realize, 55:39 but it's up to Your people to say, 55:41 hey, this is what's going. 55:42 Why are we worshipping the way that we are? 55:44 Why are we thinking the way that we are? 55:46 Because the enemy has brought these things 55:47 and he wants to destroy the people of God 55:49 here in these last days, destroy our thinking 55:52 and our only power that we have in our mind 55:57 is to be able to know good and evil 55:58 and he's trying to clear it out. 56:00 And so nothing, but evil will be there. 56:01 Bless us, Lord, we pray as we decide by the grace 56:03 of God right now. 56:04 Right now, 56:06 Christ and Christ only, in Jesus' name we pray. 56:09 Amen. 56:10 Hello, and welcome back, friends. 56:12 I hope that your conscience is much more aware 56:15 of the enemy's deceitfulness to take control 56:18 of each of our minds, 56:19 if we but yield to his temptations. 56:22 Knowledge is power. 56:24 Knowledge and wisdom will help to enable us to stand 56:27 firm on the Word of God rather than to yield to 56:30 a temptation out of curiosity or lack of understanding. 56:34 As a closing thought for today, let's just read this quote 56:39 as found in the book, The Ministry of Healing, 56:41 on page 242. 56:43 It reads, 56:45 "It is not God's purpose that any human being 56:48 should yield his mind and will to the control 56:51 of another, becoming a passive instrument in his hands. 56:55 No one is to merge his individuality 56:58 and that of another. 56:59 He is not to look to any human being 57:02 as a source of healing. 57:03 His dependence must be in God. 57:06 In the dignity of his God-given manhood 57:08 he is to be controlled by God Himself, 57:12 not by any human intelligence." 57:14 Or in this case, our study here today, 57:17 not by any other being than God Himself. 57:21 We hope that this message Forming The Conscience 57:23 Through Hypnotism with Pastor Kenny Sheldon 57:26 has truly been a blessing to you today. 57:29 And should you desire a copy 57:31 of today's message for your study library, 57:34 we would just simply love to send it to you in the form 57:37 of a DVD or a CD for a love gift 57:40 of just $8 or more. 57:42 And always, please always, always, 57:45 always remember that it is your support 57:48 that allows us to come into your personal space 57:51 wherever that may be 57:52 with these messages of vital importance. 57:55 So if the Lord is impressing you to do so, 57:58 please consider sending your tax 58:00 deductible gifts to Behold the Lamb Ministries to further 58:04 this gospel work for the kingdom of heaven. 58:07 Just simply contact us 58:08 here in the United States at (618) 942-5044. 58:14 That Central Time to donate 58:16 or order your DVD entitled Forming 58:19 The Contents Through Hypnotism. 58:21 You may also mail your request to Behold 58:23 the Lamb Ministries, PO Box 2030, 58:26 Herrin, Illinois 62948. 58:29 You may email us at 58:30 Contact @BeholdTheLambMinistries.com 58:33 or visit us on our website at BeholdTheLambMinistries.com 58:38 Also won't you just take a few moments 58:40 to hit that subscribe 58:41 button, and our YouTube channel that's Behold 58:44 the Lamb Ministries YouTube channel, 58:46 and we encourage you to just send in that friend request. 58:49 We'd love to have you 58:50 as our friends on our Facebook page. 58:52 So until next time, friends, 58:53 may our precious Lord continue to richly bless you and yours. |
