00:16 Father in Heaven, we pause now to ask your presence
00:21 to come here and be our instructor. 00:23 Father we want to thank you, you have been with us already 00:27 every night, and we anticipate and expect that you will with us 00:30 again this evening. 00:31 Father, as we pull back the curtain that separates 00:35 the seen from the unseen, as we pull back the curtain 00:39 that separates this world from the eternal world. 00:42 As we see the war that is behind the wars, 00:46 we pray tonight that we would see that this is not just an 00:49 intellectual truth or a concept, but this is a war that we are 00:54 very much involved in ourselves. 00:57 Father, may we be making decisions, daily decisions, 01:01 that plainly align ourselves, with Christ and with you. 01:06 Please Father be with us now as we open your Word, 01:10 as we're asking you to open our hearts, 01:12 in the marvelous name, of Jesus Christ, 01:15 let everyone say Amen. 01:18 Excellent! 01:19 Now last night just as we were closing, 01:21 I realized that I did not get through the last two paragraphs 01:24 of last night's presentation. 01:26 I originally thought, you know what we'll do is we'll 01:28 spend the first part of tonight doing that, but actually 01:30 what we are going to do is sort of spend a little time 01:32 in review, and my hunch is that you will be able 01:35 to figure those blanks from last evenings presentation, 01:39 and if you are not, you can come and ask me about it 01:41 personally, and I will help you fill them in. 01:43 So let's go right to the introductory paragraph on 01:45 tonight's study guide, right to the introductory paragraph. 01:49 It says in the last two lessons we learned, 01:52 that there is a great "what" everyone? 01:55 "Battle," waging between the forces of light and darkness, 01:59 good and evil, that might sound a little bit like 02:01 Star Wars to you, but this was occurring 02:03 long before George Lucas came on the scene. 02:06 Satan's undiluted fury is being poured out 02:10 upon this planet, we saw that last night 02:12 in Revelation 12: 02:13 we read the whole chapter through and saw that. 02:17 He has already been cast out of heaven 02:18 and is now confined to "where" everyone? 02:22 To this planet! 02:23 If we are to withstand the increasing and ongoing attacks 02:27 of the Devil, then we must have a potent and powerful 02:30 weapon to employ. 02:32 Fortunately the Book of Revelation promises 02:34 just such weapon, in this lesson we learn about this 02:38 important weapon. 02:40 Look with me at the screen here, just by way of review, 02:43 we have learned that all of the evil in world is traceable 02:47 to a rebellion. 02:48 Lucifer an exalted angel, made the choice to rebel against God, 02:54 and became Satan, or Sawtawn, the fallen foe. 02:58 Last night we looked at the six stages of the great battle, 03:03 this great conflict that exists between the forces 03:06 of light and darkness, and good and evil. 03:08 1. The victory was declared, who remembers where everyone? 03:12 In the Garden of Eden, that's exactly right. 03:15 Remember there Genesis 3:15, God comes into the garden, 03:18 He says I will put enmity between you and the woman, 03:21 and between your seed and her seed, 03:22 and it will crush your head. 03:25 2. The victory then began, in the earthly ministry of Jesus, 03:29 remember Luke 11: "He said, when a strong man 03:32 is guarding his house, then everything is fine, 03:34 but when a stronger than he overcomes him, 03:37 he could spoil his goods. " 03:39 That's exactly what we find in the gospels. 03:41 Jesus begins to heal and to restore, and even to Resurrect 03:45 so that those that Satan had claimed for his own 03:48 were being reclaimed by the Lord Jesus Christ 03:51 in His earthly ministry. 03:52 Can you say "Amen" to that? 03:53 - Amen! - Praise the Lord! 03:54 Everybody who has put faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, 03:57 has been reclaimed from Satan and his captivity. 04:01 3. The victory has been achieved "where" everyone? 04:05 On the cross, that's exactly right. 04:07 We'll spend a lot of time on that this evening. 04:08 4. The victory was proclaimed by the "resurrection," very good. 04:14 5. The victory is continued in the church, 04:17 the church, that's right, in all of our lives, 04:19 the victory of Christ over Satan is being carried out 04:23 in this present world. 04:24 6. The victory is concluded in Revelation 20: 04:28 when Satan himself is dealt that final death blow. 04:33 The end of Satan, the victory concluded when he is cast 04:37 into the lake of fire. 04:38 Can you say "Amen" to that? 04:39 That is going to be a glorious day. 04:42 We also read Revelation 12: through in it's entirety, 04:45 and we saw the 5 central elements of Revelation 12: 04:49 1. Was the woman. Now what does a woman represent 04:54 in Bible prophecy? 04:55 The church or the people of God. 04:57 2. The wily dragon. Who was the dragon 05:00 in Revelation 12:? 05:01 That's right Satan, or Sawtawn. 05:03 3. The war. Remember war broke out in Heaven 05:08 and remember the war begins in Heaven, 05:10 but where will that war be concluded? 05:13 On earth, that exactly right. 05:14 4. The weapon. That's what we're going 05:16 to talk about tonight, the cross of Jesus Christ. 05:19 5. The winners. Revelation 12:17, 05:22 A powerful verse, it says "The dragon was wroth with 05:25 the woman," and went to make war with 05:28 the rest of her offspring, those who keep the commandments 05:31 of God, and have the testimony of Jesus. 05:33 Verse 11: also says that they overcame him 05:36 by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. 05:39 Let's open our Bibles to Revelation and the 12th chapter. 05:42 Revelation 12: the last book of the Bible, 05:46 Revelation chapter 12: 05:48 Last night was the war behind wars part one, 05:53 tonight the war behind the wars part two. 05:56 Let's look at Revelation 12: and hone in on verse 10. 06:01 Verse 10, it says "Then I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven. 06:07 Now salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God, 06:12 and the power of His Christ have come for the accuser of 06:16 our brethren who accused them before our God, 06:19 day and night" has been "what" everyone? 06:21 Cast down! You can actually fill that in 06:23 right there. 06:24 That verse Revelation 12:10 is the blanks that should be 06:28 filled in there, under the sub-heading of the cross. 06:31 Who remembers how many times does that word cast 06:34 occur here in Revelation 12:? 06:36 Five times, three times in verse nine alone, 06:40 and two other times. 06:41 He was cast out, he was cast out, he was cast out. 06:44 There on your study guide, it says the blank of blank, 06:48 is Revelations blank. 06:49 The cross of Jesus Christ is Revelations weapon, 06:55 beloved you can not fight the devil in your own strength. 06:58 You cannot fight the Devil with your fists. 07:00 In order to overcome Satan, we need a weapon far more 07:04 powerful than that, far more spiritual than that. 07:07 The only thing that we can employ to overcome Satan, 07:10 and his sophistries is the cross of Jesus Christ. 07:14 Can you say Amen? 07:16 Look at verse 11, we just read Revelation 12:10, 07:19 look now at verse 11. 07:20 It says, "And they overcame him by the "what" everyone?" 07:24 The blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. " 07:30 So that's what you would write in there in numbers one and two. 07:33 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, 07:36 the blood was shed "where" everyone? 07:38 On the cross, and by the word of their testimony. 07:42 So there at the bottom of that first page of the study guide, 07:46 it says that is the cross, and the individuals 07:52 personal experience with that cross. 07:56 Think of it this way. 07:58 Jesus' death on the cross is an historical event, 08:02 "What" kind of event everyone? 08:04 Historical event! 08:06 It happened some 2,000 years ago, 08:07 but that historical event will not benefit you in an eternal 08:11 sense, unless you accept it as your personal salvation. 08:16 Jesus is the Saviour of the world, 08:19 but in order for it to benefit you in an eternal sense, 08:22 He has to become your personal Saviour. 08:25 Can you say Amen? 08:27 That's why it says there in verse 11, 08:28 they needed both things, they needed the historical fact 08:31 of Jesus death, and then they needed their own testimony 08:34 with that historical fact, and beloved Jesus is alive! 08:40 Amen! 08:41 Jesus is alive! 08:42 I'm on page two now of the study guide. 08:44 Now we say sure Satan was cast out, 08:47 but why did God wait? 08:51 How many times I have heard the question, 08:53 Why didn't God just destroy the Devil right at the beginning? 08:57 How many people here have ever thought that or heard that 08:59 question before? 09:00 I mean if God knew the Devil was going to do what he did, 09:02 why didn't he just destroy him at the outset? 09:04 That is an excellent question. 09:06 Notice the top of page two in the study guide. 09:09 It says as we discovered last lesson, 09:12 Satan was cast out of Heaven following Jesus death 09:16 on the cross. 09:17 I quote for you very quickly, John 12:31, 09:20 remember what Jesus said? 09:21 "Now is the judgment of this world, 09:24 now the prince of this world will be cast out. " 09:28 Then verse 32, "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, 09:32 I will draw all men unto me. " 09:35 Jesus says in the context of the cross, 09:38 Satan was cast out. 09:41 In the context of the cross Satan's insinuations 09:45 and accusations were judged and he was cast to the earth. 09:49 Now you are still there in Revelation 12: 09:51 notice with me verse 12. 09:53 Revelation 12:12, what's the first word everyone? 09:57 Therefore!, and when you see the word therefore in the Bible, 10:01 you ask yourself, what's it there for? 10:03 That's right, "Therefore on the basis of the fact that Satan 10:07 has been cast out, therefore on the basis of the fact 10:11 that the kingdom of God has come, and the power 10:13 of his Christ, therefore rejoice, 10:16 "who" according to that verse? 10:18 Oh Heavens, and you who dwell in them, 10:22 but woe to the inhabitants of the earth, and the sea," why? 10:28 Because the Devil has come down to you having "what" 10:30 everyone? 10:32 Great wrath, because he knows he has just a short time. 10:36 Fascinating, isn't it? 10:38 What John is saying here is, if you live in heaven, 10:41 then rejoice because Satan has been cast out. 10:43 If however you live on the earth, woe to you. 10:47 The word woe means, doom, it means danger, 10:51 watch out, then look at verse 13. 10:53 It says "When the dragon saw that he had been cast 10:58 to the earth, he persecuted the woman," 11:02 and who is the woman everyone? 11:03 The church, he persecuted the church, and this attack 11:07 on the church reaches its climax, it's escalation, 11:12 in verse 17, look at that. 11:14 And the dragon was enraged, Old King James, "wroth," 11:21 with the woman, and went to make war with the rest 11:24 of her offspring, who keep the commandment of God, 11:27 and the testimony of Jesus. 11:30 Now look at this, right there at the top of the second page. 11:33 As we discovered last lesson, Satan was cast out of Heaven 11:38 following Jesus' death on the cross. 11:40 Now this will be new for some of you so listen very carefully. 11:43 Prior to this Satan still had limited access 11:49 to Heavenly beings. 11:50 You say "what," there was limited access, 11:52 absolutely. 11:54 Open your Bible to the book of Job: 11:56 "What" book everyone? 11:58 Job! That's in the Old Testament, 12:00 if you open up right to the middle of your Bible. 12:02 You will probably be in Psalms: and it's the book 12:05 immediately before Psalms: 12:07 Job chapter "what", Job 1, beginning in verse 6, 12:19 Job 1:6, it says, "Now there was a day when the sons of God 12:26 came to present themselves before the Lord. 12:29 Now we are not told where this heavenly council is convened, 12:32 it doesn't say where it took place. 12:34 But we know by the context that it didn't take place 12:37 on planet earth. 12:39 You say well, how do you know that? 12:40 I will explain in just a moment. 12:41 There was a day when the sons of God came 12:43 to present themselves before the Lord, 12:45 and who also came among them? 12:47 Satan. 12:48 Yeah, that's right the Devil comes walking in, 12:50 Oh! hey! You are all here, I just thought 12:51 I would come and join. 12:52 Now watch what happens next. 12:55 Verse 7, And the Lord said to Satan, from where do you come? 13:01 In other words, where are you coming here from? 13:03 Now if they were on planet earth, 13:05 God wouldn't have asked that question. 13:07 He would say, where are you from? 13:08 Well, what do you mean where am I from? 13:09 I'm here where I've always been. 13:10 He asks the question, where are you from, 13:13 and I want you to notice his response. 13:15 So Satan answered the Lord and said, from going to and fro 13:20 on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it. 13:26 He basically says, oh I've come from earth. 13:28 Now again, we don't know exactly where this 13:30 heavenly council was convened, but we know it must have been 13:32 somewhere other than this earth. 13:36 Verse 8, Then the Lord said to Satan, have you considered 13:39 my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth 13:43 a blameless and upright man, one who fears God, 13:47 and shuns evil. 13:48 It's very interesting, when God says to Satan, 13:51 where are you coming from and he says earth. 13:52 What he is basically saying is just walking to and fro, 13:55 down on my planet, you know, just thought I would show up 13:58 to your little meeting here from "my place," 14:01 and God says wait a minute, you think that's your place. 14:04 Have you thought about my servant Job? 14:06 My seventh Job doesn't go along with your plans. 14:08 My servant Job doesn't go along with your principles. 14:11 Then Satan raises an accusation against God. 14:15 He raises a "what" everyone? 14:16 An accusation! We already saw that 14:18 in Revelation 12: that Satan is called the accuser, 14:23 notice this accusation in verse 9. 14:25 "So Satan answered the Lord and said, 14:27 does Job fear God for nothing?" 14:30 He basically says are you kidding? 14:33 Of course he's obedient. 14:34 Verse 10, have you not made a hedge around him, 14:37 around his household, and around all that he had 14:39 on every side. 14:40 You have blessed the work of his hands and his possessions 14:42 have increased in the land, but now, stretch out your hand 14:45 and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face. 14:49 Is that an accusation, yes or no? 14:52 I mean think of basically what he is saying, 14:54 that would be like me saying, you know, 14:55 I am talking to someone and I say, 14:57 Oh my wife loves me so much 14:58 and they say, yeah right! 14:59 You think your wife loves you, she only loves you because 15:02 you buy her all those flowers. 15:05 If my wife wasn't here I would say a lot more, ummm! 15:10 Ah, You love her because you are so nice to her, 15:12 I'm trying to come up with something here, 15:13 sorry sweetheart, I didn't mean to put you 15:14 on the spot like that. 15:16 But you can just imagine, you know if I said, 15:17 oh my wife and I we have a wonderful relationship, 15:19 and someone comes in and says, 15:20 you don't have a good relationship with your wife. 15:22 In fact, the only reason your wife likes you at all 15:24 is that you do a bunch of good stuff for her. 15:26 Her appreciation of you is not really for you, 15:29 it's just because of the goodies. 15:30 Is that an accusation, yes or no? 15:33 Now get this whole scene in your mind. 15:35 It's really an amazing scene. 15:38 God here has convened a heavenly council, 15:41 and all of the sons of God, these must be 15:43 heavenly intelligences of some kind, 15:45 have presented themselves before God and here comes 15:48 the Devil walking into the assembly. 15:49 God says, Hey what are you doing here? 15:51 You know, I've just been walking down to my planet, 15:53 just hanging out on planet earth. 15:55 You think that's your planet? 15:56 What about my servant Job? 15:58 He doesn't go along with you, with your governing principles, 16:01 with your ways. 16:02 Ahh!, Job, I mean really, the only reason that Job loves you, 16:05 the only reason that Job respects you is that 16:08 you take care of him and give him good stuff. 16:10 Is that an accusation, yes or no? 16:13 It's a huge accusation, and it is only a case and point 16:18 of the very kinds of accusations that Satan raised against God 16:22 beginning back in heaven. 16:24 Revelation 12:7, it says "And war broke out in heaven. " 16:34 That word war is a very interesting word. 16:37 You might to make just a note of this, 16:39 the word war is the Greek word polemia, 16:44 POLEMIA would be the English transliteration. 16:47 Think about that, there's an English word called polemics, 16:52 How many of you have heard that word before, polemics? 16:54 It's basically arguing, the Bible says when war broke out 16:59 in heaven, the primary manifestation of that war, 17:02 listen very carefully, was not physical. 17:06 It was not "what" everyone? 17:08 Physical, the word polemia means it was a war of words, 17:13 it was a war of ideas, it was a war of accusations, 17:18 and insinuations. 17:19 How many of you have ever heard of the Christian writer, 17:22 well known Christian writer, C.S. Lewis, raise your hand. 17:25 Excellent! Love that brother! 17:27 One of my all time favorite Christian authors. 17:29 He wrote a book entitled God Is In The Dock. 17:33 Now C.S. Lewis was an English man, and in the English court 17:39 the dock was the place that the person was on trial 17:43 gave their defense. 17:44 How many of you knew that? 17:46 So when C.S. Lewis says God is in the dock, 17:48 what he is saying is God is on trial, 17:52 accusations have been raised against God, incidentally, 17:56 many people in modern times have picked up on 17:59 Satan's accusations. 18:00 You can read in your own insurance policies 18:03 that there are certain ways that insurance companies 18:06 can get out of paying you because of "acts of God. " 18:11 Have you read that, and the acts of God is anything bad 18:13 that happens in the world. 18:15 We have this idea that God is the causer of bad things, 18:19 but we have already seen in our study when Jesus 18:22 found that woman there and healed her. 18:24 He said whom Satan has, do you remember, bound, 18:29 and also when he spread the good seed out, 18:31 and the weeds came up, the servants came and said, 18:34 hey, where did all the weeds come from? 18:36 Remember he said five words, "an enemy has done this. " 18:42 These so called acts of God are not acts of God at all, 18:46 God is getting a very bad rep in the universe. 18:51 These accusations are being leveled against Him. 18:54 Go back to your study guide, according to Job we see, 18:59 that some time after the creation event, 19:02 Satan had limited access, "what kind of access?" 19:06 Limited access to heavenly intelligences. 19:10 But at the cross that access ceased, 19:14 and that's what John says in Revelation, 19:16 Rejoice, "who everyone," Oh heavens, because at the cross 19:22 all of the on looking heavenly intelligences, all of heaven, 19:27 saw that Satan was a murderer. 19:30 Let's continue on, right there in your lesson. 19:32 The cross convinced the universe, that Satan's ideas, 19:37 plans, and accusations were groundless and false. 19:41 But why didn't God just destroy Satan in the beginning? 19:43 After all He certainly knew what was going to happen 19:46 with Satan's rebellion. 19:48 In order to understand this we go back to the 19:50 parable of wheat and the tares. 19:53 Go to Matthew 13: first book of the New Testament. 19:56 Now tonight, how many of you again, have ever asked yourself 19:59 that question? 20:01 If God knew what the Devil was going to do, 20:02 why didn't He just "shoot," 20:03 snuff him out right at the beginning. 20:05 Raise you hand if you have ever wondered that. 20:06 Here's the answer, it's the Biblical answer, 20:11 and it's a powerfully logical compelling answer. 20:15 Matthew chapter 13, Matthew "what chapter everyone?" 20:20 13, we're going back to that parable, 20:22 The parable of the man who sowed the seeds in the field. 20:26 Matthew chapter 13, we will pick it up in verse 24. 20:30 Another parable He put forth to them saying: 20:34 "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed, 20:38 "what kind of seed in his field?" 20:39 "good seed," verse 25, but while men slept, 20:42 his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, 20:43 and went his way. 20:47 But when the grain had sprouted and produce a crop, 20:49 and the tares also appeared, so the servants of the owner 20:52 came and said "Sir do you not sow good seed in your field?" 20:57 How then does it have tares, in other words, 20:59 where did all of these weeds come from?" 21:01 He said to them five words, say it with me. 21:03 An enemy has done this. 21:07 Exactly right! The servant said to him. 21:08 Do you want us then to go and gather them up? 21:11 Hey! We'll do you a favor and gather up all of the bad stuff, 21:14 notice his response. 21:16 But he said "what?" No!, Why!, 21:22 "Lest while you gather up the tares, you also uproot the 21:25 wheat with them," now look at verse 30, this is the key. 21:29 "Let both grow together until the harvest 21:35 and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers. 21:39 First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles, 21:41 and burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn. " 21:45 Now remember we don't have to wonder what this parable means 21:47 because we can go right to Jesus own interpretation 21:50 in verse 37. 21:51 Look at verse 37. 21:52 He who sows the good seed is who everyone? 21:55 Son of man! 21:57 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the 22:01 kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one, 22:03 the enemy who sowed them is the Devil, now look at this, 22:07 the harvest is, the end of the world, yeah, the end of the 22:12 world, your Bible maybe says world, my Bible says, 22:14 the end of the age, and that's actually the word. 22:18 It's not the word for world, in the sense of this terra firma, 22:22 this planet, it's the end of the age, the end of this era. 22:26 You have to wait until the harvest. 22:30 Wait until the "what" everyone? 22:32 Harvest! Are there any gardeners here 22:34 this evening, any gardeners, do you have a green thumb, 22:36 anyone here, Ok just about two of you. 22:39 Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! 22:41 Well listen, you are exactly the reason why this parable 22:45 will make so much sense ok. 22:47 We are reading right from our study guide. 22:49 It can be difficult to distinguish desirable plants 22:55 and non desirable weeds when they first begin to sprout. 22:59 Is that true of false? 23:01 - True. - Absolutely, sure especially 23:03 to the uninitiated which is apparently every single 23:05 person in this room. 23:06 To the uninitiated Gardner they can look almost "what" 23:13 identical, even after weeks of growth, certain weeds 23:18 prove to be almost indistinguishable from 23:20 certain plants, yet the difference is clear to the 23:24 seasoned experienced Gardner. 23:26 Remember what they said, Hey you want us to go gather up 23:29 the bad stuff, Jesus said no! no! no! no! 23:30 because if you do that, you will also pull up 23:33 some of the good. 23:34 Why? 23:36 Because when something first starts to grow, 23:38 it can be difficult to distinguish the good 23:42 from the bad. 23:43 Are we all clear on this, yes or no? 23:45 See now the parable is really starting to come alive. 23:47 Look at this. 23:49 Only at, what would go in there? 23:52 The harvest! Can the inexperienced 23:56 see the difference between the weeds and the wheat. 23:58 I mean anybody can tell the difference between a thistle 24:01 and a tomato when they are full grown, 24:03 but when they are just beginning to poke their little heads, 24:08 I know I use that term, 24:09 up through the dirt it can be difficult. 24:11 But when you have the full grown tomato plant, 24:13 and the full grown thistle, anyone can tell the difference, 24:17 at the harvest. 24:19 At the "what" everyone? 24:21 The harvest! 24:22 Does anyone in here eat thistles? 24:23 Does anyone here eat artichokes? 24:28 Ok, then you eat thistles. Ha! ha! 24:30 The artichoke is a thistle, many people don't know that, anyway 24:33 I just thought I would play a little trick on you there. 24:35 Look at this, this is exactly what Jesus parable is 24:42 designed to teach, look at the next paragraph. 24:46 God knew from the beginning, the terrible direction 24:51 that Satan was headed. 24:52 Can you say "Amen" to that, I mean is that true? 24:54 Sure it is. 24:56 Think of this, the parable of the wheat and the tares, 25:00 is a powerful parable that helps us to understand 25:03 why God didn't just sliiiit! cut Satan off 25:07 at the very beginning. 25:09 The harvest, something about the harvest 25:14 when the weeds and the wheat in this context, 25:17 when evil and good have come to full fruition, 25:21 then everyone would be able to see, what God could see 25:25 from the beginning, you are getting it, that exactly right. 25:30 Look at John 8:44, I'll put it up here on the screen for you 25:33 this is the words of Jesus, ok, look at this. 25:36 Speaking he said: 25:54 Now isn't that interesting, he was a murder from the 25:57 beginning, but when really did he commit his greatest 26:03 act of murder, it's when he took Jesus and nailed him 26:07 to that cross. 26:08 Now, you say well God knew that Jesus was going to come, 26:11 Jesus came to die, of course, but God certainly did not intend 26:14 to die that hideous, terrible, ignominious, humiliating death 26:20 that He did, it was the Devil that designed the cross, 26:23 it was the Devil who invented that thing, 26:26 so he could stick the Son of God on it, and mock Him. 26:29 How many of you have ever heard of the word excruciating 26:32 You hit your thumb with the hammer and say ah! that's 26:36 an excruciating pain. 26:37 The word excruciating comes from two words, 26:41 X which means out of, if you turn to the back you see Exit 26:44 sings, exit means out, and crucia which is the cross. 26:49 The word excruciating means out of the cross. 26:53 It was a word that was coined by the Romans, 26:56 because crucifixion was so horrific, so painful, 27:00 so terrible, people would be literally existing, 27:03 right on the verge of death and life. 27:06 Sometimes for more than a week in total pain, it was designed 27:10 in the bowels of hell itself to bring maximum 27:14 pain and torture to an individual, excruciating 27:18 is out of the cross. 27:20 God could look down when Satan began his rebellion 27:23 there in heaven. 27:25 God could look down through the corridors of time, 27:27 and He could see that Satan would 27:30 one day kill Jesus on the cross. 27:33 Could God see that yes or no? 27:35 Sure He could, absolutely, that's what Jesus says 27:38 he was a murderer from the beginning. 27:42 Notice this quotation! 27:43 This is from the epistle 1John 3:8, 28:05 Now go back to your study guide there. 28:08 God knew from the beginning the terrible direction 28:12 that Satan was headed, but here is an important point. 28:16 The angels didn't see it so clearly. 28:20 Think of it this way, just imagine with me, 28:23 there is a terrible scandal that breaks out in the White House. 28:27 A terrible scandal, and one of the closest individuals 28:31 to the president, and begins to accuse him of all kinds 28:33 of moral impurities, and all kinds of money laundering, 28:37 and it's a huge scandal in the White House and there's 28:40 one person who is willing to ring the bell, 28:42 there is one person who said he did it. 28:44 I know it all, I've got it all documented, he's a bad guy, 28:48 in the moral area, he's a bad guy in the financial area, 28:51 he's not what you think. 28:53 Raising these accusations, we're going to say oh, we didn't 28:57 think that, oh! Really, really, 28:58 give us the documentation and then suddenly he turns up dead. 29:02 What do you suspect immediately 29:06 if he turns up mysteriously dead? 29:08 What do you think about his accusations now? 29:12 They were probably true, he was on to something, 29:16 think about this is in the context of all of heaven. 29:19 Satan begins to raise his insinuations, 29:23 Satan begins to basically say, I could govern the universe 29:27 better than God could, and we'll look at that here 29:29 in just a moment. 29:30 If all of a sudden Satan turns up missing, 29:33 the other angels would have thought, whoa I wonder 29:36 why that is. 29:38 What's God so afraid of, why get rid of Satan in such a 29:42 quick way, why get rid of Satan so un-ceremoniously. 29:45 Number one and two, they would begin to serve God potentially 29:50 out of fear, and perfect love casts out all fear. 29:58 God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power 30:02 and of love, and of a sound mind. 30:05 The service of fear is not an acceptable service to God. 30:09 Now fear is a motivator, but it cannot be the primary motivator. 30:14 Can someone say "Amen?" 30:15 So God could see it, as plain as the noon day sun, 30:20 exactly where this rebellion was going to lead 30:22 but for the benefit of the other angels, 30:25 the other heavenly intelligences and frankly for the benefit 30:29 of you and me, God lets this thing play out until the harvest 30:36 and we all can see plain as the noon day sun, 30:39 that's the Devil, that's Christ, 30:41 I choose to stand with Christ. 30:44 If that makes sense, say "Amen!" Powerful! 30:48 Let's go back to our study guide here. 30:49 Here is an important point, the angels didn't 30:52 see it so clearly. 30:53 Think of this, Satan's arguments, ideas, 30:56 and insinuations, must have been very persuasive indeed. 31:02 Don't forget that he deceived a full one third of the angels. 31:08 Let me ask you a Bible question here. 31:09 What is the first adjective that is used to describe Satan 31:15 in the Bible? 31:16 - Subtle! - That's exactly right. 31:19 Genesis 3: we read it yesterday, it says that: "The serpent, 31:23 and of course it was Satan that inhabited the serpent 31:26 at that moment, it says that the serpent Satan was more subtle. 31:31 He's subtle, he's manipulative, he's persuasive. " 31:37 What word everyone? 31:38 Persuasive you've got it. 31:41 A full one third of the angels. 31:43 God allowed Satan to come to this planet to demonstrate 31:47 his way of running things, his governing principles. 31:54 The angels in the entire on looking universe was then 31:58 invited to watch and see. 32:01 Open your Bibles to 1Corinthans 4: 32:04 see if you can get there before me, 1Corinthians, are you there? 32:11 You beat me 1 Corinthians 4: I'm there. 32:13 1 Corinthians, you've got Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, 32:17 then you've got Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians. 32:20 Ok, 1 Corinthians, I still hear the pages rustling, don't worry, 32:24 we'll wait for you. 32:26 1 Corinthians 4: now look at verse 9. 32:32 Wow! This is an amazing verse. 32:35 Verse 9, Paul says, for I think that God has displayed us 32:41 the apostles last, as men condemn to death, 32:45 for we have been made a spectacle to the world, 32:49 both to angels and to men. 32:52 My Bible says a spectacle, does any other version here say 32:57 something different? 32:58 Do you have another version? 33:00 A theater, I heard someone say it. 33:03 In my Bible there's a little marginal reference there, 33:05 that's a little number 1, and that means I look over 33:08 into the margin and the word is, a theater. 33:11 Let me read it to you with that word. 33:13 God has displayed us the apostles last, as men condemned 33:19 to death, for we have been made a theater to the world, 33:23 both to angels and to men. 33:26 The Greek theater and the Roman theater with something 33:29 in common in the days of Paul and 33:31 Paul here chooses that word theater. 33:33 What he basically says is, we're on the stage, 33:37 as Shakespeare said all the world is a stage, 33:40 but here that is really true. 33:42 Just as Satan presented himself before the sons of God, 33:48 Ah, I've been walking back and forth on my planet 33:50 and God says, what about my servant Job? 33:53 Job was on the stage of life, the apostle Paul says, 33:59 we're on a stage, it's not a game beloved. 34:02 It's a real life experience, a stage, and people are looking 34:07 in to see what we will choose. 34:10 Who's side will we stand on? 34:13 Who's governing principles will we follow? 34:16 Will we believe the lies and the persuasion, and the insinuations 34:20 of Satan, or will we stand on the side of God. 34:24 Go to your study guide there you can fill it in, 34:27 he says we are made a theater to the world, 34:30 both to angels and to men. 34:33 Beloved what we are trying to do here, and I hope 34:35 we are succeeding, by the grace of God, 34:37 I hope I'm succeeding, is to help you see 34:40 that there is a big picture. 34:41 A "what" everyone? 34:44 Your salvation is not just about you, there are larger issues 34:53 at stake, namely the vindication of God's own character. 34:58 Satan has raised radical insinuations about God's 35:03 character. 35:04 Beloved when we take a stand for Jesus, we're saying to the 35:06 whole on looking universe, I reject Satan's lies, 35:10 I reject Satan's propaganda, I will stand with Jesus. 35:15 Amen! 35:16 Powerful, I'm trying to paint the big picture here. 35:19 There are two great revelations of the cross, 35:22 you can fill it out there in your study guide. 35:23 The cross teaches us two things, powerfully, amazingly, 35:28 and unequivocally: 35:34 In fact if you think about it God's in a real pickle, 35:38 because the supreme object of God's love, sinners, 35:43 is bound up inexorably with 35:48 the supreme object of His hatred "sin. " 35:49 God has to perform the most difficult operation 35:53 in all of the universe, a sin endectomy. 35:57 He has to take the supreme object of His love 36:03 and separate that from the supreme object of His hatred 36:06 because God hates sin, but He loves sinners. 36:11 The problem that he has, is that half the time we love sin. 36:16 The two great revelations of the cross, God's love for sinners, 36:23 and God's hatred of sin. 36:25 Go to Isaiah 14: we've already actually been to this before, 36:29 but lets look at this. 36:30 By the grace of God you are going to see this big picture 36:34 here, in a way that you have never seen it before. 36:38 We're going to Isaiah, Isaiah 14: now we've been here 36:43 before, and here is what I want you to do. 36:45 In Isaiah 14: I just lost my place there, 36:49 Go to Isaiah 14: and then keep your finger there, 36:55 put something there, like I have one of these little 36:56 fancy ribbons here, so I'm going to put it right there 36:59 and then go to Philippians 2: that's in the New Testament. 37:02 Philippians 2: Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, 37:07 chapter two. 37:08 So you've got one hand in Isaiah 14, one hand 37:13 in Philippians 2: Ok. 37:15 I'll give you time to get there, don't worry. 37:17 One is Isaiah "what" everyone? 37:20 Fourteen, and the other is in, Philippians 2: 37:24 Ok, keep your fingers right there, 37:26 and you say well why do I need to do that. 37:27 because we're going to be flipping, swish, swish, just 37:29 like that. Ok! 37:30 Here we go! 37:31 Isaiah 13: beginning in verse 13. 37:34 These are the thoughts of Satan himself. 37:35 "For you have said in you heart, I will ascend 37:41 into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, 37:45 I will sit also on the mount of the congregation, 37:48 on the farther sides of the north, 37:49 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, 37:52 I will be like the most "what" everyone? 37:55 - High. " 37:56 So take a look at your study guide there, five steps, 37:59 very different directions. 38:02 This next part of our study is both stunning and 38:04 easily understood. 38:06 In a simple comparison of two passages we will see 38:10 the essence of the character of God, as contrasted 38:12 with the essence of the character of Satan. 38:15 Prepare to be amazed and humbled by the infinite 38:19 and eliminateable love of God. 38:21 Satan's five steps up is what you would write in there. 38:27 Five steps up, notice the upward direction of all 38:31 of these verses: 1. I will ascend into Heaven, 38:37 2. I will exalt my throne, 3. I will sit on the mount. 38:42 Is the mount a high thing or a low thing? 38:44 High thing! In the congregation of the north. 38:49 North is at the top, you look at a map, north is up. 38:52 4. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. 39:00 5. I will be like the Most High, you've got it. 39:05 If you look at this verse it's very simple, 39:07 Satan says I'll go up! I'll go up! I'll go up! I'll go up. 39:11 I want to be higher than the position, the office that God 39:17 has appointed me to. 39:18 Satan's basically saying, I could do it better 39:21 than God could. 39:22 If I was running things, it would be better and different. 39:27 I'll go up, I'll go up, I'll go up, I'll go up. 39:31 Keep your finger right there in Isaiah, 39:33 and flip over to Philippians 2: 39:35 Philippians "what chapter" everyone? 39:37 Two! Beginning in verse 5, 39:41 Philippians 2:5, Let this mind be in you, which was also 39:48 in "what" everyone? 39:49 Christ Jesus! Who being in the form of God 39:52 did not consider it robbery to be equal with God. 39:55 The Greek here is a little complicated, 39:57 but basically what it says is, he was God, 40:00 so it was not something that he had to lay hold on to be God. 40:03 Verse 7, But made himself of no reputation, taking the form 40:08 of a bond servant, and coming in the likeness of men, 40:12 and being found in the appearance of man, 40:14 he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, 40:18 even the death of the cross. 40:22 Now look at that, these are Jesus Christ's five steps down. 40:29 1. He made Himself of no reputation, 40:32 who else could make God of no reputation? 40:35 The only being in the universe that could humble God is God. 40:40 Does that make sense? 40:42 Who else could do it? 40:43 If anyone is going to humble God, it has to be God Himself. 40:46 He made Himself of no reputation, 40:49 that's a choice that God made, He stepped down. 40:52 2. He took the form of a servant, think of it, 40:55 The Infinite, Eternal, Omnipotent, Omni benevolent, 40:59 God of the universe, not constrained by either time 41:05 or space, condescended to become like a slave. 41:11 3. He came in the likeness of "what" everyone? 41:15 A man! Think of it, let's just say for sake of illustration 41:19 he was six foot tall. 41:20 Here you have the Illimitable, Infinite God of the universe 41:23 confining Himself to a man that's six feet tall. 41:27 As if that wasn't enough, God, the very fountain of life, 41:33 4. Became obedient to death. 41:36 5. Even the death, not a noble death, not a death where 41:42 He looked like a hero when everybody said Ho! ta ta ta da! 41:45 Look at how wonderful He is, look at how great He is, 41:47 No! no! no! He died bruised and beaten, and bloodied, 41:50 and battered, and naked, on a pathetic cross, 41:54 that was designed to torture common criminals. 41:58 Jesus looked down from heaven when He saw Adam and Eve fall 42:03 and when He saw you fall, and when He saw all of us fall. 42:06 The love of God and the love of Jesus compelled them, 42:11 it forced them into action. 42:14 They said I will come down from my lofty throne, 42:16 I will come down from my lofty sphere, down, down, down, down, 42:22 just to rescue My children. 42:26 Keep your finger right there in Philippians. 42:30 Watch this, this is awesome. 42:36 So look what I'm doing here, ok, repeat after me. 42:39 Here's Philippians right here, and here is Isaiah. 42:42 Ok, now watch what happens, go to Isaiah 14, 42:46 Isaiah 14 then get ready to whoop! flip right over to 42:49 Philippians ok. 42:50 Isaiah 14:13, You have said in your heart I will ascend 42:55 into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God 42:58 I will sit also on the mount of the congregation on the farther 43:00 sides of the north, I will ascend above the heights 43:03 of the clouds, I will be like the most high, 43:05 I will go up, I'll go up, I'll go up, I'll go up. 43:08 Look at verse 15, you will be brought down. 43:09 Isn't that interesting, his desire is to go up, 43:18 but the end result is he will be brought down. 43:21 Now look at Philippians 2: 43:23 Philippians 2:8, "And being found in the appearance of a man 43:29 He humbled Himself, of course who else could 43:31 humble God, but God. 43:32 He humbled Himself and became obedient to death," 43:36 even the pathetic, ignominious, death of the cross, 43:39 He went down! down! down! down! 43:41 Verse 9: Therefore, remember when you see the word therefore 43:44 say hey! what's that there for. 43:46 "Therefore God has highly exalted Him, and given Him a 43:52 name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus, 43:56 every knee should bow, of those in heaven and those 43:59 on earth, and of all things under the earth, 44:01 that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ 44:04 is Lord to the glory of the Father. " 44:05 Can you say "Amen?" 44:07 Do you see the contrast, yes or no? 44:09 Satan says I'll go up! I'll go up! I'll go up! I'll go up! 44:12 I want to be more than the office that God has appointed 44:15 me to, and God says, in your desire to go up, 44:18 you'll be brought down. 44:19 Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, 44:23 and He will lift you up. 44:24 Then Jesus says I'll go down, I'll lay my crown aside, 44:29 I'll go down, I'll lay my throne aside, I'll go down. 44:32 I will go down for the benefit of others, 44:35 down, down, down, hanging bruised and beaten, 44:41 and humiliated, falsely accused, spat upon, 44:44 His beard torn out, on a cross. 44:48 He went to the bottom, to the dregs, 44:50 to the basement, to the lowest place, 44:53 and God says, I will exalt Him. 44:56 Powerful! 44:59 Look at the bottom of page three there, 45:01 At the end however, Satan is cast down, 45:04 and Christ is exalted. 45:07 Can someone say "Amen! 45:08 Powerful! 45:10 One the cross, think of it you are an angel, 45:12 you are one of the two thirds of the loyal angels, 45:14 I mean think about it. 45:15 One third followed Satan, and the two thirds 45:18 remained loyal, but still you must know that there 45:20 must have been questions in their mind. 45:22 Of course they were loyal to God, 45:24 but they always wondered what is Satan up to. 45:26 A full one third is like our own civil war. 45:29 The Mason Dixon Line is drawn and people on this side 45:33 and people on that side, and the angels were 45:35 always kind of thinking hmm, I wonder what this is about, 45:38 and then they saw Golgotha. 45:40 They saw the devil and all his Satanic fury, 45:45 lay the precious Son of God down, 45:49 humiliate Him, pull out His beard, 45:52 and no, no they said, no, surely, surely, surely 45:56 he's not, and they saw him do it, and when they saw that. 46:01 When they looked down, I can't believe it, 46:06 he's not, he's going to do it, when they saw that. 46:12 When they saw what happened on the cross, 46:16 their minds were made up, they were already loyal, 46:21 and they said we don't have all the answers. 46:23 But we don't want to have anything to do with this 46:26 devil, and therefore, he was cast out, 46:28 not even limited access any more to heaven. 46:29 That's why it says rejoice O heavens. 46:32 But there is one planet, one place where that decision 46:38 has not been made, that is this planet. 46:41 Something interesting, is that this planet is not 46:44 going to make that decision wholesale. 46:46 We'll make that decision, as individuals. 46:50 God isn't going to save this whole planet, 46:53 someone say "Amen!" 46:54 You see here it's different, with us it's different, 46:57 with us individuals will make the decision. 47:00 I will align myself with Satan, and with his governing 47:03 principles, or I will align myself with Christ, 47:06 and His governing principles, and if you're having 47:08 difficulty making that decision look at the cross. 47:12 Satan says I'll go up, up up, at the expense of others, 47:15 Christ says I'll go down, down, down down, 47:17 just to save others. 47:19 Look there at your study guide there at the bottom. 47:23 One embodies almost reckless condensention for the benefit 47:30 of others, that's Jesus. 47:31 Condesention, for the almost reckless, 47:34 He throws away His crown, He throws away His throne, 47:37 and He says I'm going down, got to get My children. 47:41 The other embodies calculated exaltation at the expense 47:47 of others. 47:48 Last page: 47:51 Just think of it, the Infinite, Illimitable, God 47:56 of the universe, condescended to become a Man, 48:01 more than this He condesended to die, and even more than this, 48:07 He condescended to be ridiculed, mocked, and die the ignominious 48:11 death of a common criminal. 48:12 What love, what marvelous condensention, 48:16 what absolute selflessness. 48:18 The word condescend has it's root word, descend. 48:24 What does descend mean? 48:26 To go down, the prefix con means together, 48:30 so the word condescend means that He goes down 48:33 together with us. 48:35 Is there anyone in this room who has been at the bottom? 48:37 Anyone want to raise their hand, I've been at the bottom. 48:40 Well, Jesus has been there too. 48:42 He came down to get me, and to get you, 48:47 that's what the word condescend means. 48:49 By His incomparable love, you've heard it before, 48:53 but it's become so quaint, 48:54 we've seen it at football stadiums, 48:59 we've seen it all over, it's almost quaint now, 49:02 it rolls off the tongue so easily, so readily. 49:06 Oh yeah, yeah, I've heard that verse before, 49:07 Half the time as a minister of the gospel, 49:09 I say open up your Bibles to John 3:16, 49:11 90% of the people don't even open their Bibles, 49:13 oh I know that one been there done that. 49:15 Beloved think of it: 49:29 Can you say "Amen?" 49:31 This verse is for you beloved, this verse is for you, 49:37 This verse is for me. 49:38 Jump down to the third paragraph, 49:42 the cross of Jesus Christ is the very center of it all. 49:45 The cross alone enables us to make sense out of this 49:49 troubled and sin filled world in which we live. 49:51 The cross of Jesus Christ utterly demonstrates 49:54 God's character as a character pre-dominated, 49:57 and characterized by love. 49:59 But it also upholds the principles of His justice. 50:05 That's what you would write there, it also upholds 50:08 the principles of His justice. 50:10 God couldn't just forgive sin willy-nilly, well you know 50:14 I changed my mind about the eating of the tree of 50:16 the knowledge of good and evil. 50:17 No, sin is a hatred thing, it's a violation of the 50:20 very character, the very eternal law of God 50:22 and so God is in a real pickle here, isn't He, 50:24 He needs to uphold His loving character, 50:27 but not compromise His justice. 50:29 Well how pray-tell can He do that, 50:32 It upholds the principles of His justice, 50:34 and His eternal law, more on that later. 50:37 Yes at the cross, both God's love and His justice, 50:43 were plainly and perfectly demonstrated. 50:45 If that makes sense, I want you to say "Amen!" 50:48 Psalm 85:10 is right there, in your sheet: 50:58 On the cross, God didn't have to lay aside His law 51:04 and His justice, and His character in order to save us 51:08 but He did have to put His Son on the cross. 51:12 Friends, if God could have just changed His mind 51:15 willy-nilly, Jesus wouldn't have gone to the cross. 51:18 The fact that Jesus hung on the cross, is proof 51:22 that God's character is immutable, it cannot change. 51:26 The principles of His law cannot be laid aside. 51:30 The fact that Jesus died on that cross is prove positive 51:35 that God's justice is not up for negotiation, 51:38 but neither is His love, and there was only one way 51:42 Jesus says I'll go down, I'll go down, 51:47 I'll go all the way down. 51:49 This verse beloved is for you. 51:52 At this time I'm going to invite my good friend Clint 51:55 to come up, and our ministry partners are going to 51:57 distribute to you a card. 51:58 I would like to ask my ministry partners to stand 52:01 up right now, and distribute those cards. 52:02 You are going to get a card right now. 52:04 As they are distributing this card, I'm want to ask 52:06 you a question tonight: 52:07 1. Has this presentation made sense? 52:12 Say Amen if it's made sense. 52:13 "Amen!" 52:14 Ok! 52:16 You're getting a card, this is a decision card. 52:18 A "what" everyone? 52:21 And you notice on there it doesn't say, 52:23 decision for David Asscherick. 52:25 It says decision for "who" everyone? 52:28 Decision for "what" does it say? 52:30 "Christ!" 52:34 Beloved, tonight we have done our very best 52:36 to present to you the big picture, 52:38 the big picture, the big conflict between the 52:42 character of Christ, the character of God, 52:45 and the character of the enemy. 52:47 There is a war behind the wars and that war is being waged 52:51 right here, right now in your life and in this room. 52:55 Take a look at that card, there are several boxes here 53:00 that could be checked: 53:01 1. I understood tonight's presentation. 53:04 First of all please fill out your name, your address, 53:06 all of that, we're going to have to have that information. 53:08 If you are making a decision for Christ tonight we want to 53:10 follow that up, we want to stand with you on the side of Jesus. 53:14 Please as a personal favor to me, fill that out, 53:18 put your name down, put your address down, 53:20 put your contact information down, please. 53:22 1. I understood tonight's presentation. 53:26 If you need a pen just raise your hands high to heaven, 53:28 Michael is here with pens. 53:29 2. I reaffirm my personal acceptance of Jesus Christ's 53:35 death for me. 53:37 Ok you want to do that, you mark that, you check that, 53:40 you say Yes! Maybe you've done it before, 53:43 but you see it tonight, and you say Yes! and Yes again. 53:45 3. For the first time there is not a doubt in my mind, 53:51 that there is someone in here who's never made this decision. 53:54 Someone in here tonight who has never understood it 53:56 as you've understood it tonight. 53:58 That Jesus came down for you so that you could live forever. 54:01 His righteousness becomes your righteousness. 54:07 Your unrighteousness, becomes His unrighteousness. 54:09 There is a divine exchange that takes place, 54:12 He suffered the death which was yours, you can live the life 54:15 which is His. 54:16 You can check that number three, you say for the first time 54:20 I want to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour 54:22 from sin and death. 54:23 4. I have wandered from God and His plan for my life, 54:27 and I want to return to Him, if that describes you, 54:29 you check that, we want to meet with you, 54:31 we want to pray with you, we want to minister, 54:32 whatever we can do to help you, we're here. 54:35 Some of you have wandered from God, and you've been away 54:40 for a long time, well tonight is the night to wander back. 54:42 5. I would like to be baptized, 54:46 perhaps you have not been baptized. 54:47 Perhaps you have not made that decision to make a full 54:51 commitment to Christ, and to go through the Biblical 54:54 ceremony of baptism, you mark that. 54:56 6. I would like a personal visit. 54:58 7. I need special prayer for, please fill that card out. 55:01 Here's what's going to happen, my good friend Clint McCoy, 55:04 who's going to be doing our concert tomorrow night, 55:06 is going to sing us a song titled Give Me Jesus. 55:09 When that song is done the ministry partners 55:12 are going to collect these cards, please don't slide these 55:15 cards into your Bible, give them to the ministry partners 55:17 they go to me, I pray over every card. 55:19 Beloved I love you very much, tonight I want you to see that 55:24 God loves you dearly. 55:26 "Amen!" 55:39 In the morning when I rise, In the morning when I rise, 55:49 In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus. 55:58 Give me Jesus, give me Jesus, you can have all this world, 56:14 but give me Jesus. 56:20 And when I am alone, oh and when I am alone, 56:29 when I am alone, give me Jesus, give me Jesus, 56:45 Give me Jesus, you can have all this world, give me Jesus. 57:00 And when I come to die, oh and when I come to die, 57:14 when I come to die, give me Jesus, give me Jesus, 57:30 Give me Jesus, you can have all this world, 57:40 you can have all this world, you can have all this world, 57:53 just give me Jesus. |
