Thank you.
Can we just bow for a moment of
prayer, please?
Lord in mercy on all of us, wash
me in the blood of God.
God the creator, God the saviour, God the
coming judge, should there be anything that was
not holy and Christ-like in thine eyes
of my smallest thought or reaction that I
overlooked to confess to thee in my baseness
and weakness.
Forgive me that I might be cleansed by
the blood of Jesus Christ, that I might
be a vessel meet for the master's use.
Fill me with the Holy Spirit, anoint my
mind, my heart, my understanding.
I know I am nothing and at my
best the most unprofitable and unworthy of all
thy servants, and I do not need for
thee to remind me that, dear Lord.
But in mercy take this weak vessel and
base vessel and despise that vessel.
That no flesh can glory in thy presence,
come visit every one of our hearts.
Keep everyone still, Lord, and somehow quicken every
single person's mind and heart.
In Jesus the Christ's name, in Jesus the
Christ's name, Amen.
In Genesis 3 verse 1, Now the serpent,
the serpent was more subtle than any beast
of the field which the Lord God had
made.
The serpent was more subtle than any beast
of the field which the Lord God had
made.
And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath
God said, Ye shall not eat of every
tree of the garden.
And the woman said unto the serpent, We
may eat of the fruit of the trees
of the garden, but of the fruit of
the tree which is in the midst of
the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
eat of it, neither shall ye touch, lest
ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
shall not surely die, for God doth know
that in the day ye eat thereof, then
your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall
be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to
be desired to make one wise, she
took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,
and gave also unto her husband with her,
and he did eat.
Verse 13, And the Lord God said unto
the woman, What is this that thou hast
done?
And the woman said, The serpent beguiled
me, the serpent beguiled me, and
I did eat.
And the Lord God said unto the serpent,
Because thou hast done this, thou art cast,
thou art cast.
Verse 15, And I will put enmity between
thee and the woman, I will put enmity
between thee and the woman, and between thy
seed and her seed, it
shall bruise thy head, it shall bruise thy
head, and thou shalt bruise his heel, thou
shalt bruise his heel.
Thousands of years were to pass, but when
the fullness of time was come, God sent
forth his Son made of a woman.
God sent forth his Son made of a
woman.
Galatians 4 verse 4, Matthew 4 verse 1,
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit
into the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil.
And when he had fasted 40 days and
40 nights, he was afterward and hungered, he
was afterward and hungered.
And when the tempter came, when the tempter
came to him, he said, If thou be
the Son of God, command that these stones
be made red.
But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone.
Man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God.
Then the devil taketh him up into the
holy city and setteth him on a pinnacle
of the temple and saith unto him, If
thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
down.
For as it is written, It is written,
He shall give his angels charge concerning thee,
and in their hands they shall bear thee
up, lest thou dash thy foot against a
stone.
Jesus said unto him, It is written, Again
thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Again the devil taketh him up into an
exceeding high mountain and showeth him all the
kingdoms of the world and the glory of
them and saith unto him, All these things
will I give thee.
All these things will I give thee.
If thou wilt fall down and worship me,
then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence
Satan.
For it is written, Thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve.
Then the devil leaveth him.
And behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Now beloved, Satan knew that this was God's
Son manifested in the flesh.
Satan knew that this was God's Son manifested
in the flesh, and most certainly the fulfillment
of what God had said to him in
the garden concerning the woman's seed.
It shall bruise thy head.
Literally, he shall crush thy head.
He will destroy you.
And Jesus knew with whom he was dealing.
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Luke 10 verse 18.
Isaiah 14 verse 12.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer,
son of the morning?
How art thou cut down to the ground,
which did weaken the nation?
For thou hast said in thine heart, thou
hast said in thine heart, I will ascend
into heaven.
I will exalt my throne above the stars
of God.
I will sit also upon the mount of
the congregation in the sides of the north.
I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds.
I will be like the most high.
Now this passage, this staggering passage, has caused
much controversy through the ages.
For in its immediate context, in its immediate
context, it speaks of the Medo-Persian king,
of the Babylonian empire at that time.
In its immediate context, it speaks of the
Medo-Persian king of the Babylonian emperor of
that time.
But all of the great reformation leaders and
many of the most revered theologians throughout the
church's history believed that in its broader context,
that is in the light of the rest
of the scriptures, it speaks of Satan and
his fall from heaven as a result of
pride and self-exaltation.
They reason that other passages in Isaiah, other
passages in Isaiah which speak specifically of king
Cyrus, again and again, in their immediate context.
In their broader context, they speak of Christ,
they speak of Christ messianic prophecies, such as
the pivotal messianic prophecy of the entire Bible,
Isaiah 53.
Thus they reason this passage of Isaiah 14
from verse 12, though in its immediate context
it speaks specifically of the Medo-Persian king
at that time.
In its broader context, it speaks of someone
far more significant than that isolated incident and
king at that time in the world's history.
It speaks beyond doubt in the light of
the rest of the scriptures of Satan and
his fall from heaven as a result of
pride and self-exaltation.
And oh beloved, this fearful warning is strewn
throughout the whole Bible to all of us.
This fearful warning is strewn throughout the whole
Bible to all of us, that after pride
cometh the fall.
After pride cometh the fall.
1 Chronicles 21 verse 1, and Satan stood
up against Israel and provoked David to number
Israel.
He tempted David to embrace pride and self
-exaltation, knowing that this would bring God's judgment
upon them as it had upon him, as
swiftly as it had upon him.
Pride goeth before destruction.
Proverbs 16 verse 18, pride goeth before
destruction.
In 1 Timothy 3 verse 6, Paul warned
the early church not to take a novice,
someone young in the faith, and elect him
as an elder or deacon.
Not to take a novice and elect him
as an elder or deacon, lest, being puffed
up with pride, he fall into the same
condemnation as the devil.
Lest, being puffed up with pride, he fall
into the same condemnation as the devil.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer?
The same principle, the same principle of Isaiah
14 from verse 12 is applied to another
staggering passage of the scriptures in Ezekiel chapter
28 verse 12, which speaks in its immediate
context of Itobal, the king of Tyre at
that time, but in its broader context speaks
obviously of someone of greater significance, far greater
significance than that isolated king at that time
of Tyre.
It speaks again of Satan and his fall
from heaven as a result of pride and
self-exaltation.
We read from verse 12, Thus saith the
Lord God, you were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of
God.
Every precious stone was thy covering in the
day that thou was created.
Thou art the anointed cherub, the anointed angel
that covereth, literally that covereth the holy of
holies, the throne of God.
Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth, and
I have set thee so.
Thou wast upon the holy mountain of God.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the
day that thou was created till iniquity was
found in thee.
Therefore, I will cast thee as profane out
of the mountain of God, and I will
destroy thee, O covering cherub.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy
beauty.
Thou has corrupted thy wisdom by reason of
thy brightness.
I will cast thee to the ground.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer?
How art thou cut down to the ground?
I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Revelation 12, verse 7, And there was war
in heaven.
There was war in heaven.
Verse 9, And the dragon, the dragon was
cast out.
That old serpent called the devil and Satan,
he was cast out into the earth.
And his angels, his angels were cast out
with him.
He was cast out into the earth, and
his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 12, verse 4, And his tail drew
the third part of the stars of heaven.
His tail drew the third part of the
stars of heaven, and it cast them to
the earth.
Jude, verse 6, And the angels, the angels
which kept not their first estate but left
their own habitation, the angels which kept not
their first estate but left their own habitation,
he hath reserved in everlasting chains, he hath
reserved in everlasting chains under darkness, under darkness,
unto the judgment of the great day.
2 Peter 2, verse 4, For if God
spared not the angels that sinned but cast
them down to hell, if God spared not
the angels that sinned but cast them down
to hell.
Now beloved, this word hell, it is not
Gehenna, it is not Hades, two Greek words
prominent, predominantly the two Greek words that we
translate into the English, for hell.
It is not the Old Testament Hebrew, Sheol,
the one predominant word throughout the Old Testament
for hell in the English.
This verse is unique, for only once in
the entire Bible does God speak of Tartarus,
the angels that kept not their first estate,
if God spared not the angels that sinned
but cast them down to Tartarus.
It is unique in that it speaks here
of the initial judgment of God upon the
angels when he cast them out of heaven
into this earth.
It speaks of this earth atmosphere, God's initial
judgment on the angels who kept not their
first estate but left their own habitation, and
now is this out of water.
They are desperate, they are suffering, they are
desperate demons in the atmosphere of this earth,
but this is only God's initial judgment in
casting them down to this earth, whereas fish
out of water, having left their own habitation
which they were created for in the light
and glory of God to worship him and
serve him, now in this darkness they suffer
as desperate demons, they suffer in what to
them is now darkness, and they await, fearfully
await their final judgment.
In Matthew 8 verse 29, a demonically possessed
man stood before Christ.
In Matthew 8 verse 29, a demonically possessed
man stood before Christ, and the demons cried
out in fear at Christ.
What have we to do with thee, Jesus,
thou son of God?
Art thou come hither to torment us?
Before the time, they know that the time
awaits them of their final judgment, which is
the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and
his angels.
Matthew 25 verse 41, the everlasting fire prepared
for the devil and his angels.
Matthew 25 verse 41, and Paul, Paul warns
us that these fallen angels, these desperate demons
now oppose us in spiritual warfare here upon
the earth.
Paul warns us that these fallen angels, these
desperate demons now oppose us in spiritual warfare
here upon the earth.
In Ephesians 6 from verse 13, for we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
places.
But God beloved, in his infinite mercy and
wisdom, has given us much instruction concerning our
adversary, the devil and his angels.
God beloved, in his infinite mercy and wisdom,
has given us much instruction concerning our adversary,
the devil and his angels, lest Satan should
get an advantage of us, lest Satan should
get an advantage of us, for we are
not ignorant of his devices.
2 Corinthians 2 verse 11, we are not
ignorant of his devices.
In the book of Daniel, in the book
of Daniel, we are given an amazing insight
into the battle, the fierce battles that rage
between the fallen angels and God's angels concerning
the affairs of men.
We are given an amazing insight into the
fierce battles that rage between God's angels and
the fallen angels concerning the affairs of men.
In Daniel chapter 10, we find Daniel fasting
and praying for three weeks, 21 days, seeking
God, this godly prophet, seeking God earnestly, longing
for God to give him revelation and understanding
of eschatology, of prophetic, vital, pivotal events leading
up to the world's end, to Christ's return,
knowing that God had ordained him to be
a writing prophet, the written prophecies which must
be, and he knew it, recorded in the
holy book eventually, for mankind to know that
this is God's word, for mankind to know
what God is doing, to be sure of
the Messiah, when he's coming, how long it
will be.
Oh, God was to give him revelation.
Daniel was agonizing to such a degree as
he realized as he kept to guess trips
with God to give him revelation.
Ah, but suddenly in chapter 10, verse 12,
an angel appears to him.
The angel Gabriel appears to him.
Verse 12, then said he unto me, hear
not Daniel, for from the first day that
thou did set thine heart to understand and
to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words
were heard, and I am come for thy
words.
But the prince of the kingdom of Persia
withstood me.
The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood
me one and twenty days.
But lo, Michael, one of the chief princes,
came to help me, and I remained there
with the kings of Persia.
Verse 20, and now will I return, now
will I return to fight with the prince
of Persia, and when I am gone forth,
lo, the prince of Greece shall come.
But I will show thee that which is
noted in the scripture of truth, and there
is none that holdeth with me in these
things but Michael, your prince.
Here we witness the principalities, the powers, the
rulers of the darkness of this world, the
spiritual wickedness in high places, in fierce battle,
attacking God's angels to thwart God's purposes, in
an attempt to thwart God's plans and purposes
upon earth, attacking in fierce wrath and anger
and evil, and we hear of the names
of these great demons, these fallen angels, the
prince of the kingdom of Persia, the prince
of Greece, the kings of Persia, demonic fallen
angels, great demonic beings who were allocated by
Satan specifically to rule, that's what the word
prince means, over the affairs of Satan in
each specific nation he allocated them to, naming
them as the ruler of evil there, to
try and undermine God's purposes, to thwart God's
plans, to hurt God's people.
Oh, these evil princes, these evil fallen angels
are allocated by Satan over nations to close
the gospel door we can find in the
New Testament, where Satan closed his eyes to
us, Paul said, and he acknowledged that Satan,
oh these evil beings are terrifying forces, but
Michael, the archangel comes to assist Gabriel, and
together they eventually prevail over these demonic forces,
eventually they prevail over these demonic forces, Jude
verse 9, yet Michael, the archangel, when contending
with the devil, he disputed about the body
of Moses, does not bring against him a
railing accusation, does not bring against him a
railing accusation, but said, the Lord rebuke thee,
the Lord rebuke thee, he immediately turns
to Christ to deal with Satan, when dealing
with Satan, he immediately turns and looks to
Christ and cries, the Lord rebuke thee, Zechariah
3 verse 1, and he showed me Joshua,
the high priest, standing before the angel of
the Lord, and Satan standing at his right
hand to resist him, Satan standing at his
right hand to resist him, and the Lord
said unto Satan, the Lord rebuke thee, oh
Satan, even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem,
rebuke thee, is not this a brand plucked
out of the fire, here Christ rebukes Satan
in his own name, here Christ rebukes Satan
in his own name, in Luke chapter 10
from verse 17, we are given an amazing
statement of the uncomprehendable power and authority that
is in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, in Luke chapter 10 from verse 17,
we are given an amazing statement of the
uncomprehendable power and authority that is in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we read
from verse 17, and the 70 returned again
with joy saying, Lord, even the devils, even
the devils are subject unto us through thy
name, and he said unto them, I beheld
Satan as lightning fall from heaven, behold, I
give unto you power, I give unto you
power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy, and
nothing shall by any means hurt you, nothing
shall by any means hurt you, notwithstanding, notwithstanding
in this, rejoice not that the spirits are
subject unto you, but rather rejoice because your
names are written in heaven, here Christ cautions
them and us that salvation, regeneration is imperative,
is vital before any man on this earth
dares to take the authority and power that
is in Christ's name to assert it against
the demonic forces of this world, it is
vital, it is imperative that a man must
be saved before he dares to confront demons
or demonic powers in the name and the
power and the authority with the name and
power and authority of Jesus Christ our Lord,
Jesus warned us in Matthew chapter 7, many,
many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name and in thy name have cast out
devils, many, it's beyond human comprehension, it's beyond
my comprehension, but Christ said it will happen,
many unsaved will say in that day, Lord,
have we not prophesied in thy name and
in thy name have cast out devils, and
in thy name done many wonderful works, then
will I profess unto them I never knew
you, I never knew you, I never knew
you, depart from me ye that work iniquity,
depart from me ye that work that never
turned from a life iniquity, evil, though
you were religious doing these things in my
name.
Beloved, if a man is delivered from demonic
possession by the power and authority that is
in Christ's name, it does not mean that
he is saved, it does not mean that
he is saved, he must then be carefully
and prayerfully instructed concerning true salvation and God's
way to salvation, that of his own free
will, he must repent from all nonsense and
turn to God to be delivered by the
risen resurrected power of Christ, looking as he
confesses his sinfulness and evil and looks to
the blood of Jesus Christ and by grace
is saved through faith in the blood and
as he seeks God for deliverance from a
life of evil forever, the Holy Spirit will
only then bear witness with his spirit that
he is born again, that he is a
child of God.
You see, the effect of righteousness is peace,
righteousness imputed by God and righteousness imparted and
as he becomes conscious that the God's righteousness
has been imputed by faith and imparted by
faith, the Holy Spirit bearing witness.
Oh, the effect of righteousness is peace, God
says, is peace, but oh, what tragedy
Christ warns us will occur when these sensationalist
blasphemous people were drawn to Christianity like Simon
the Sorcerer for one thing, desiring to have
something of power in this circle, to impress
the crowds, you see, concerning his ministry and
his life, the great sin of pride extends
right into Christianity to those who want to
draw attention to themselves with the power and
authority of demonic forces that is in the
name of Christ, but oh, the tragedy, the
tragic result of these sensationalist blasphemous ministry Christ
tells us of, Christ warns us of in
Matthew 12 verse 43, he warns us when
the unclean spirit is gone out of a
man, when the unclean spirit has gone out
of a man, he walketh through dry places
seeking rest and findeth none, finding none, then
he saith, I will return into my house
from whence I came out, and when he
has come, he findeth it empty, swept and
garnished, then goeth he and taketh with himself
seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and
they enter in and dwell there, and the
last state of that man is worse than
the first, oh, the tragedy of these multitudes,
how many, many, you want a staggering study
of the word many, because iniquity shall abound
the love of many, the most, who gather
under the banner of Christianity in the last
evil days, will excal it, this word many
is a staggeringly unique word, the most who
stand under the banner of Christianity wielding the
sword, wielding for power, oh be careful Simon
the sorcerer, your motives, what you're doing in
Christianity, and be careful of the tragic fruits
of the lives you destroy, though you go
in the name of Jesus Christ, many, who
say to me in that day, have we
not cast out devils in my name?
Christ didn't say no, you didn't, and that
is staggering, you see these men lacked experiential
knowledge of regeneration, of the new birth, and
therefore they were unable to lead these souls
to Christ, and that is why across the
entire world so many people who profess to
have been demonically possessed, and delivered by the
power and authority that's in Jesus Christ's name
in the church, eventually they return back to
their evil ways, to worse states than they
were, and oh the shame that comes upon
Christianity in the name of Jesus Christ, through
these evil, sensationalist, blasphemous ministry, these were the
toy things, the play toys of sensationalists, and
they destroy them, who will never, I believe,
seek God again, they're so messed mentally and
spiritually, by people across our world who cast
out devils in Jesus Christ's name, otherwise Christ
was speaking folly in saying this could happen
if you say it can't, and we, we
must also beware today of the danger of
demonically possessed people, we must also beware today
of the danger of demonically possessed people being
embraced and exalted in many so-called Christian
circles, because of manifestations, and revelations, and prophetic
utterances, let me repeat that, we must be
careful today of the danger of demonically possessed
people being embraced and exalted in many so
-called Christian circles, because of manifestations, revelations, prophetic
utterances, Acts 16 verse 16, and it came
to pass as we went to prayer, a
certain damsel possessed with the spirit of divination
met us, which brought her master's much gain
by soothsaying, by fortune-telling, the same followed
Paul and us, and cried saying, these men
are the servants of the Most High God,
which show unto us the way of salvation,
these men are the servants of the Most
High God, which show unto us the way
of salvation, and this did she many days,
but Paul being grieved, turned and said to
the spirit, I command thee in the name
of Jesus Christ to come out of her,
and he came out the same hour, beloved,
not everyone that opens their mouths with manifestations,
revelations, and prophetic utterances is of God, not
everyone that opens their mouths with manifestations, revelations,
and prophetic utterances, in many so-called Christian
circles, are of God, beloved, believe not every
spirit, but try the spirits whether they're of
God, 1 John 4 verse 1, do we,
or do we accept anyone that demonstrates the
sensational, because that's all we're interested in ourselves,
no matter what they are about, and therefore
we have no discernment at all, Matthew
12 verse 22, Matthew 12 verse 22, Then
was brought unto him one possessed with the
devil, the demon blind and dumb, and he
healed him in so much that the blind
and dumb both spake and saw, and all
the people were amazed, and said, is not
this the son of David, is not this
the son of David, but when the Pharisees
heard it, when the Pharisees heard it, they
said, this fellow doth not cast out devils,
this fellow doth not cast out devils, but
by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils, and
Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them,
every kingdom, every kingdom divided against itself is
brought to desolation, and every city or house
divided against itself shall not stand, and if
Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against
himself, how then shall his kingdom stand, and
if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by
whom do your children cast them out, therefore
they shall be your judges, but if I
cast out devils by the Spirit of God,
by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom
of God is come unto you, or else
how can one enter into a strong man's
house, and spoil his goods, except he first
bind the strong man, how can one enter
into a strong man's house, and spoil his
goods, except he first bind the strong man,
and then he will spoil his house, here
Christ soberly considered
Satan's hold on this world,
here again the devil taketh him up into
an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all
the kingdoms of the world, in a moment
of time, Luke adds in chapter four verse
five, and saith unto him, all these things
will I give thee, if thou wilt fall
down and worship me, all these things will
I give thee, for that is delivered unto
me, and
to whomsoever I will, I give it, the
whole world lieth in wickedness, 1 John 5
verse 19, literally the whole world lieth in
the hands of the wicked one, and 2
Corinthians 4 verse 3 refers to Satan as
the god of this world, 2 Corinthians 4
verse 3 refers to Satan as the god
of this world, and the prince of this
world, that's the rule of this world, John
14 verse 30, so Christ soberly
considered Satan's hold on this world, when he
said, how can one enter into a strong
man's house, and spoil his goods, except he
first bind the strong man, and then he
will spoil his house, for this purpose the
Son of God was manifested, that he might
destroy the works of the devil, 1 John
3 verse 8, for this purpose the Son
of God was manifested, that he might destroy
the works of the devil, that through death
he might destroy him, that through death he
might destroy him, that at the power of
death, that is the devil, Hebrews 2 verse
14, that through death he might destroy him,
through death, even the death of the cross,
Philippians 2 verse 8, he might destroy him,
in John 12 verse 31, as Jesus faced
imminent death on the cross, as Jesus faced
imminent death on the cross, he solemnly declared,
now is the judgment of this world, now
shall the prince of this world be cast
out, and I, if I be lifted up,
will draw all men unto me, now is
the judgment of this world, beloved the judgment
of this world will not take place at
the great white throne, spoken of in Revelation
chapter 20 verse 11, the judgment of this
world will not take place at the great
white throne, spoken of in Revelation 20 verse
11, the judgment of this world was hurled
upon Christ, as he hung upon the cross,
that he, by the grace of God, should
taste death for every man, Hebrews 2 verse
9, who will have all men to be
saved, who will have all men to be
saved, and to come unto the knowledge of
the truth, 1 Timothy 2 verse 4, he
was wounded sir, for my transgressions and yours,
all we like sheep have gone astray, we've
turned everyone to his own way, and the
Lord has laid on him the iniquity of
us all, Isaiah 53 verse 7, God was
in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not
imputing their trespasses unto them, 2 Corinthians 5
verse 19, they overcame him,
the devil, by the blood of the land,
you see the blood of Jesus Christ, God's
son, cleanses us from all sin, being justified
freely by grace through faith in his blood,
Romans 3 verse 13, they overcame him, that
is the devil, by the blood, because of
the blood, beloved, you see, Paul was sent
by Christ, in Matthew 26 verse 17, to
the Gentiles, why?
To open their eyes, and to turn them
from darkness to light, and from the power
of Satan unto God, hallelujah, that's the gospel,
Romans 1 verse 16, I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ, for it is
the power of God unto salvation to everyone
that believeth, and having
spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show
of them openly, triumphing over them, in Colossians
2 verse 15, you see, how can one
enter into a strong man's house, Christ asked,
speaking of Satan, and this world, and his
hold on it, and spoil his goods, except
he first bind the strong man, and then
he will spoil his house, and having spoiled
principalities and powers, he made a show of
them openly, triumphing over them in it, Colossians
2 verse 15, through the cross, he might
destroy him, and he did, oh wait now,
that's not the end of the story, that
was just really the beginning of the full
revelation of what God had in mind, in
this world, to destroy Satan, and his power,
and hold over men, but if our gospel
be hid, 2 Corinthians 3 verse 8, if
our gospel be hid, it is hid to
them that are lost, in whom the God
of this world has blinded the minds of
them which believe not, if our gospel be
hid, it is hid to them that are
lost, in whom the God of this world
has blinded the minds of them which believe
not, lest the light of the glorious gospel
of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine unto them, you see, this is
when the judgment on the cross, that he
faced and tasted for all men, this is
when that cross and that judgment is passed
by, and we find the great white throne
of Revelation 20 verse 11, men will now
face this judgment, why?
2 Thessalonians 1 verse 9, he will return
in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that
know not God, he will return in flaming
fire, taking vengeance on them that know not
God, and that obey not the gospel of
our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished
with everlasting destruction from the presence of the
Lord, and from the glory of his power,
1 John 3 verse 8, he that commiteth
sin is of the devil, for the devil
sinners from the beginning, what does that mean?
One has to look in the light of
all scriptures, but just in the light of
the rest of that, I quoted 1 John
years ago in America, go get it from
the websites to understand the full revelation of
that, he that commiteth sin, that continues in
its context, immediate context, pursuing sin, practicing a
life of sin, pursuing his sin, after he's
heard the gospel, in his context, he that
committeth sin goes on pursuing it, he's of
the devil, for the devil sinneth from the
beginning, for this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that he might destroy the works
of the devil, whosoever is born of God
doth not commit sin, for his seed remaineth
in him, and he cannot sin, because he
is born of God, in this the children
of God are manifest, and the children of
the devil, in this, tell me does the
Bible matter to you, or does it offend
you?
You'd rather go somewhere and get your ears
tickled with sensational emotional rubbish and trash and
entertainment, but to hear this, tell me does
it offend you?
I want to ask every one of you,
does God's word offend you?
I want to tell you who's offending you,
not me, in my base week delivery, you
were offended at God, if you're offended at
that word, and I'm not interested in much
left, I've got too little time left to
give anybody anything but God's word, because nothing
matters other than God's word, and it's time
to bring it back to the pulpit of
God in this world, it's lost, it's fearful,
and it sickens and enrages and insults people
who say they're saved, because they don't mind
every bit of entertainment that speaks some sentimental
garbage about Jesus, but tell them this, tell
them this, 1 John 5 verse
18, we know that whosoever is born of
God doth not commit sin, for his seed
remaineth in him, and he cannot sin because
he is born of God, it is staggering
what God says here, we know that whosoever
is born of God sinneth not, but he
that is begotten of God keepeth himself, I
love that, do you?
Keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him
not, does he?
Well doesn't that matter, young man?
Answer God, what are you doing here if
it isn't for God, and what are you
doing here if you don't want God's word?
He that is begotten of God keepeth himself,
and that wicked one toucheth him not.
Job 1 verse 6, now there was a
day, there was a day when the sons
of God, the angels, came to present themselves
before the Lord, and Satan came also among
them, and the Lord said unto Satan, Whence
comest thou?
Then Satan answered the Lord and said, From
going to and fro in the earth, and
from walking up and down in it, and
the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered
my servant Job, that there is none like
him in the earth, a perfect and an
upright man, one that escheweth evil, he hates
evil?
Then Satan answered the Lord and said, Does
Job fear God?
For not, hast thou not made an hedge
about him, and about his house, and about
all that he hath on every side?
Thou hast blessed the work of his hands,
thou hast blessed the work of his hands,
and his substance is increased to the land,
but put forth thine hand now, and touch
all that he hath, and he will curse
thee, he will curse thee to thy face,
and the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all
that he hath is in thy power, all
that he hath is in thy power, only
upon himself put not forth thine hand.
So Satan went forth from the presence of
the Lord, and it is beyond my comprehension
how God could have tolerated this evil, wicked
being to bring such devastation and tragedy and
sorrow upon this godly man, to try and
destroy his faith, and his love for God,
and his trust in God, but this is
why God made this the first written book
of the Bible, before Genesis was written, this
was it.
This is why this book is the longest
single book on any particular person, life in
the entire Bible apart from Jesus himself.
This verse, verse 22, In all this Job
sinned not, nor charged God foolishly, he didn't
accuse God of doing any wrong.
Oh Satan, demons must have hurled back screaming
into the, in shock, in shock of what
he thought he could do to destroy this
man's faith in God, but it didn't work.
You see beloved, God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to be tempted, that's tested
in his grief, above that you're able to
bear.
I hope you believe that, he will never
suffer you to be tempted above that you're
able to bear.
Satan is totally restricted, don't you dare believe
he isn't when it comes to you, but
everything must be tested, that's the whole point
of this earth, the testing ground, to sift
out the hearts of men, to see what's
in thy heart, no matter who you are.
1 Peter, chapter 5, verse 8, Be sober,
be vigilant, because your adversary the devil as
a roaring lion walketh about, seeking whom he
may devour.
Whom resist, stand fast in the faith, resist
the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4, verse 7, Neither give place to
the devil, Ephesians 3, verse 17, Neither give
place to the devil, greater is he that
is in you, than he that is in
the world, beloved.
Don't doubt that now, you will never ever
be suffered to be tempted by Satan, above
that God knows you are able to bear,
and Satan will not be able to do
anything further, than what God knows you can
bear and survive.
Resist the devil though, and he will flee
from you.
Ephesians 6, verse 10, Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power
of his might, put on the whole armor
of God.
I hope you've learned that.
The godliest people I've ever known in my
life across this world, without sharing notes, every
day of their life, as they get out
of bed, read that chapter, and ask God
to assist them to do it, before they
walk out of the door.
Have you?
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might, put
on the whole armor of God, that you
may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil, against the attacks of the
devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against power, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.
Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of
God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all,
to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with
truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness,
and your feet shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace.
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith
ye shall be able to quench the fiery
darts of the wicked.
Or did God lie saying that, sir?
Will you ever rise up to proving?
Above all, taking the shield of faith in
this God, and in his promises, and his
instructions, wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked, and
take the helmet of salvation, and the sword
of the Spirit, which is the word of
God.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in
the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance
and supplication for all saints, and the God
of peace shall bruise satan under your feet
shortly.
Romans 16 verse 20.
The God of peace, Christian, shall bruise, crush
satan through you and me under your feet
shortly.
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark
never failing.
Our helper he amidst the flood of mortal
ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe doth seek to
work us woe.
His craft and power is great, and armed
with cruel hate, on earth is not his
equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our
striving would be losing, were not the right
man at our side, the man of God's
own choosing?
Thus ask who that may be, Christ Jesus,
it is he.
Lord, saboth his name from age to age
the same, and he must win the battle.
And though this world with devils filled should
threaten to undo us, we will not fear
for God hath willed his truth to triumph
through us.
The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not
for him, his rage we can endure.
For lo, his doom is sure, one little
word can fell him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks
to them abideth.
The spirit and the gifts are ours, through
him who with us sideth, let goods and
kindred go.
For this mortal life, also the body they
may kill, God's truth abideth still, his kingdom
is forever.
I preach the sermon here on the second
coming of the Lord Jesus, which had over
400 verses that I and the last passages
dealt with revelation of Satan, Armageddon, his
anger and hatred of the church, setting up
the Antichrist, the beast, and how eventually God
will prevail and cast him into the bottomless
pit for a thousand years, and then he
will stand again to do the first thing
he was allowed to do in the first
place, attempt to see truly what is in
the heart of man, that of free will
man can choose evil or good.
Now Satan will be cast into the lake
that burneth with fire and brimstone, which is
the second death, and every name not found
in the written in the book of life
which cast into that same lake, but that
in itself was over 400 verses.
So, Satan then, you can look up in
all these internets and websites of that sermon
that I gave, otherwise we would be here
very late tonight.
I'm going to ask every one of you
something very staggering here.
If you're unsaved and Satan has messed your
life up with so much evil, you need
to seek God to save your soul tonight,
and he will.
He will in no wise turn away anyone
that comes to him through Christ Jesus.
How can he when he takes the death
for every man?
How can he turn you away if you
come with nothing but the blood of Jesus?
And you Christians, I'm going to ask you
an even more staggering thing here tonight.
Stop being superficial.
Go to the world with this, and for
God's sake go back to the church with
this, and nothing else, nothing else.
For God's sake, get back to the word,
because most Christians will never hear anything about
Satan again in their lives as you've heard
tonight across this whole world from the pulpits
of the evangelical church who are in such
a state.
Or do you disagree?
That's not judgmental.
That's said with a broken heart.
That's not judgmental.
Can we stand please?
