00:00:00,650 --> 00:00:02,770
Welcome to From the Pulpit and Classic Sermons.

2
00:00:03,050 --> 00:00:04,630
Each week we bring you a different message

3
00:00:04,630 --> 00:00:06,690
from some of history's greatest speakers in the

4
00:00:06,690 --> 00:00:09,310
Christian faith, and powerful sermons for modern preachers,

5
00:00:09,470 --> 00:00:09,570
too.

6
00:00:10,250 --> 00:00:12,590
This week we have Lester Sumrall with his

7
00:00:12,590 --> 00:00:15,590
message, Demonology and Deliverance, Parts 3 and 4,

8
00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:18,650
Christian Authority, and How I Learned Exorcism.

9
00:00:19,930 --> 00:00:22,990
Lord Jesus, it's a great joy to see

10
00:00:22,990 --> 00:00:27,420
you and to minister you words of eternal

11
00:00:27,420 --> 00:00:30,320
life by the power of the living God.

12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,120
We are involved in a group of studies

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:34,880
that are truly exciting.

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,040
We are involved in a victory series, showing

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,880
you how the church of the Lord Jesus

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,500
Christ has victory over its greatest enemy, who

17
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:49,580
happens to be the devil and Satan.

18
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:53,180
We are teaching you out of a large

19
00:00:53,180 --> 00:00:57,820
teaching syllabus called Demons and Deliverance, Principalities and

20
00:00:57,820 --> 00:00:58,220
Powers.

21
00:00:58,220 --> 00:01:02,200
And these are available to everyone that desires

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,340
them.

23
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,220
This is Volume 1.

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,100
Volume 2 deals with the cults and how

25
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:09,640
you can destroy them with God's power.

26
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,840
We are dealing directly with the problem of

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,660
who is the devil, how can he hurt

28
00:01:15,660 --> 00:01:19,120
human beings, and how we can overcome him

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,000
by the power of the Lord.

30
00:01:21,340 --> 00:01:25,160
Now it is true that Satan is a

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,320
dignitary.

32
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,800
In the little epistle of Jude, it says

33
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:35,940
that Satan quarreled with Michael, the archangel of

34
00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:39,040
God, over the body of Moses, and that

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,700
Michael dare not bring railing accusation against him,

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,420
but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,720
And so if an archangel dare not bring

38
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,560
railing accusations against him, he is still a

39
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,000
dignitary.

40
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,480
And we must come to understand this in

41
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,760
order to know how we can deal with

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,820
the powers of the devil.

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,280
I have discovered that you can only deal

44
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,800
with the devil in truth.

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,560
That if you say, You go back to

46
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,740
hell where you came from.

47
00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:14,760
Well, honey, he hasn't been incarcerated yet.

48
00:02:15,140 --> 00:02:16,680
He is the prince and the power of

49
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,060
the air.

50
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,880
And when you say that, you immediately cancel

51
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,340
out any effect that you might have, because

52
00:02:22,340 --> 00:02:24,580
you're dealing in ignorance, you see.

53
00:02:24,580 --> 00:02:27,540
And he doesn't have to move in ignorance.

54
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,920
And also, we have discovered through many years

55
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,200
of studying this subject that when you speak

56
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,280
disrespectfully, Oh, yeah, you see, you're the devil

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,220
with two horns and a forked tail, and

58
00:02:44,220 --> 00:02:46,040
off the red devil I can.

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,580
Well, no, he isn't.

60
00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:49,100
He is an angel of light.

61
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,720
He is a deceiver.

62
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,600
He doesn't come like that.

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,540
And so when you, even when you mock

64
00:02:57,540 --> 00:02:59,860
him, he doesn't have to obey you.

65
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,160
He doesn't have to move for you.

66
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,800
You must come under the anointing of the

67
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,420
Holy Spirit, under the mighty power of God,

68
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:10,680
and say, The Lord rebuke thee.

69
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,220
By the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ

70
00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:14,300
I resist thee.

71
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,780
And when you come in God's way, God's

72
00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:18,120
manner, it works.

73
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,440
It works.

74
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:20,920
It really works.

75
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:22,140
It gloriously works.

76
00:03:22,140 --> 00:03:24,660
You are not to be defeated.

77
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,520
The great men of the world have known

78
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:26,780
this.

79
00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:31,660
The great missionary Judson, he knew it.

80
00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:34,760
And what a mighty person he was.

81
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,100
Hudson Taylor, they said that they nicknamed him

82
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:41,740
in China the devil caster-outer.

83
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,420
You know, Martin Luther became so angry at

84
00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:49,320
sin and Satan that he took his inkwell

85
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,860
and threw it in his own office.

86
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,960
At him, you see.

87
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,980
And Billy Graham said recently that, I was

88
00:03:59,980 --> 00:04:03,540
writing this sermon against the devil and everything

89
00:04:03,540 --> 00:04:04,380
went lost.

90
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,180
The typewriter wouldn't work.

91
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:10,760
And he said, Finally, I just resisted the

92
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:11,020
devil.

93
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,019
And so it is not, you know, a

94
00:04:15,019 --> 00:04:18,140
matter of, this thing was one time a

95
00:04:18,140 --> 00:04:18,899
long time ago.

96
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,720
This is the battle for today.

97
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,980
But the happy thing about it is, you're

98
00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:26,460
a winner and not a loser.

99
00:04:26,740 --> 00:04:28,200
And how glad we are for that.

100
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,000
We are at lesson 14 in our teaching

101
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,760
of this lesson here.

102
00:04:33,140 --> 00:04:35,780
In your syllabus, it will be called lesson

103
00:04:35,780 --> 00:04:38,800
9, because in some of the lessons, it

104
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,300
took us two sessions in order to cover

105
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:42,040
it adequately.

106
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,800
But we are, we have, this is our

107
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,940
14th lesson.

108
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:48,780
And the title of it is, The Christian's

109
00:04:48,780 --> 00:04:51,920
Authority Over Demons.

110
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:56,020
I particularly want this to get right down

111
00:04:56,020 --> 00:04:57,220
deep inside of you.

112
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,520
I don't know who caused it and who's

113
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,340
to blame for it.

114
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,660
But millions of Americans are afraid of the

115
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:04,880
devil.

116
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,200
I mean, Christian Americans are afraid of the

117
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,400
devil.

118
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:11,580
And you talk about him and they tremble.

119
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:15,100
I made a film about a girl in

120
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:16,300
the Philippines that disappeared.

121
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:19,040
And there were people that were fine Christians

122
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,120
that wouldn't even go and see it.

123
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:24,480
And I said, that's, I mean, they told

124
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,440
me they wouldn't go see it.

125
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,720
I said, that's strange.

126
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,960
You won't even join the victor parade.

127
00:05:29,260 --> 00:05:32,700
The battle's already won, completed, finished.

128
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,800
And here's just showing you what God did.

129
00:05:35,940 --> 00:05:37,540
And you're afraid of the victor parade.

130
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:39,440
I said, you're mighty brave.

131
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,220
Even afraid of a victor parade.

132
00:05:41,340 --> 00:05:43,580
After enemy is defeated, you're still afraid.

133
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,400
I tell you, the devil's a mean devil.

134
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:47,980
And he's a lying devil.

135
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,540
If you don't learn that pretty early, he'll

136
00:05:50,540 --> 00:05:53,200
gain victories that he should never gain in

137
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:53,660
your life.

138
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,040
You are a conqueror.

139
00:05:55,220 --> 00:05:56,300
You have the victory.

140
00:05:56,700 --> 00:05:57,760
Get on with the job.

141
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,860
Let's get it done.

142
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,240
In Genesis chapter 1, verses 26 and 27,

143
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:08,320
you discover that humanity, through Adam, was created

144
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,720
to have dominion.

145
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,780
That you were not created to be a

146
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:13,080
servant.

147
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,500
To be a slave.

148
00:06:14,740 --> 00:06:15,840
To be under anyone else.

149
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,100
You are the apex of all the magnificent

150
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:21,120
creation of God.

151
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,400
It says, and God said, let us make

152
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,880
man in our image.

153
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:27,340
Isn't that amazing?

154
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,900
Yeah, he had made the mountains, and he

155
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:31,300
had made the angels, and he had made

156
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:32,800
the stars, and he had made the sea.

157
00:06:32,980 --> 00:06:35,800
And oh, the creation was so tremendous.

158
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,660
And now he says, let's do something after

159
00:06:37,660 --> 00:06:38,320
our own selves.

160
00:06:39,220 --> 00:06:40,020
Isn't that wonderful?

161
00:06:40,380 --> 00:06:41,600
In our own image.

162
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,880
And then he didn't want you to miss

163
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,500
it, so he says, after our likeness.

164
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,060
Now, there's a lot of theology in there.

165
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,760
An image is a thing of like size,

166
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:53,100
you know.

167
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,900
An image is something like something else.

168
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,360
And so, an image and likeness meant the

169
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,320
features were the same and the size and

170
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,000
all were the same in our image and

171
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,080
in our likeness.

172
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,180
So, if you want to see how big

173
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:10,780
God is, look at a man, and you

174
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:11,300
will see.

175
00:07:12,340 --> 00:07:14,840
And then God says further here, and let

176
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,260
them have dominion over the fish of the

177
00:07:18,260 --> 00:07:19,720
sea, the fowl of the air, the cattle

178
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,200
over all the earth, and every creature that

179
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,960
creepeth upon the earth.

180
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:26,600
Let them have dominion.

181
00:07:26,980 --> 00:07:30,640
So, God created man in his own image.

182
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,420
In the image of God, created he him.

183
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Male and female, created he them.

184
00:07:36,460 --> 00:07:38,220
You see, God was so afraid that you

185
00:07:38,220 --> 00:07:39,920
may not quite understand it, that he said

186
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,620
it twice.

187
00:07:40,980 --> 00:07:43,320
He said it twice in these two verses,

188
00:07:43,780 --> 00:07:46,300
that God created man and woman in his

189
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:47,060
own image.

190
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,680
And then he says, in the image of

191
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,180
God, so you know what he was talking

192
00:07:50,180 --> 00:07:50,520
about.

193
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,680
And he said, in our image and after

194
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,860
our likeness.

195
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,220
And he said, they have dominion over everything

196
00:07:57,220 --> 00:07:59,560
that creepeth, everything that moves.

197
00:07:59,820 --> 00:08:02,160
A man has dominion over it.

198
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,640
Now, we ought to say dominion.

199
00:08:05,260 --> 00:08:07,240
Glory be to God, dominion.

200
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,780
God created man to be a king and

201
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:10,820
a woman to be a queen.

202
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,160
You were not created to be slaves.

203
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,820
And when you're a slave to nicotine, when

204
00:08:15,820 --> 00:08:17,940
you're a slave to alcohol, when you're a

205
00:08:17,940 --> 00:08:20,160
slave to drugs, when you're a slave to

206
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,680
sex, when you're a slave to any of

207
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,540
these things, you are not what God created

208
00:08:24,540 --> 00:08:24,920
you to be.

209
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:27,540
He created you to be a master and

210
00:08:27,540 --> 00:08:28,240
not a slave.

211
00:08:29,580 --> 00:08:30,020
Yeah.

212
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,059
And these enslaving things do not come from

213
00:08:33,059 --> 00:08:33,380
God.

214
00:08:33,620 --> 00:08:34,900
They come from the other source.

215
00:08:36,179 --> 00:08:39,220
So man, after God had made him to

216
00:08:39,220 --> 00:08:43,120
have such strength and dominion and power, we

217
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,400
discover in the word of the Lord that

218
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,500
he lost this dominion.

219
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:50,620
Not only do you discover that in Genesis,

220
00:08:51,540 --> 00:08:52,900
you discover it in Psalm.

221
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:55,800
One of the greatest Psalms is Psalm 8.

222
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,920
You ought to read Psalm 8, especially verses

223
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:01,840
5 to 8.

224
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,760
And in Hebrews 2, verses 6 and 8,

225
00:09:05,780 --> 00:09:07,680
man yielded his position.

226
00:09:08,380 --> 00:09:09,880
Man yielded his power.

227
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:11,700
Man yielded his authority.

228
00:09:12,060 --> 00:09:14,900
Man yielded his dominion to Satan.

229
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:15,960
He gave it to him.

230
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,680
God had nothing to do with it.

231
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,920
God gave him dominion over everything that moves.

232
00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:22,920
Satan took it away from him.

233
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,700
And he says, I have the dominion.

234
00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:26,900
I am the king of this world now.

235
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,680
I am the rule of this world now.

236
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:30,080
And you look through the Bible and see

237
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,520
where he makes claims for those things.

238
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:36,040
It's because he stole it off of Adam,

239
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,740
who did not cling to the word.

240
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:39,200
Better say the word.

241
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,040
He didn't cling to the word.

242
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:43,040
God had spoken the word.

243
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:43,860
Don't do it.

244
00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:44,740
And he did it.

245
00:09:45,100 --> 00:09:46,600
And when he did not cling to the

246
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,160
word, he became a fallen creature.

247
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,860
Now, the Christians' authority over demons means this.

248
00:09:54,860 --> 00:09:58,240
That the Lord Jesus Christ has redeemed man

249
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,040
from the bondage of sin.

250
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,920
In John 8 and 32 to 36, you

251
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,380
discover whom the Son sets free is free

252
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:08,380
indeed, you see.

253
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,980
And so God and Christ have redeemed humanity

254
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:17,660
from this bondage of evil and from this

255
00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:21,140
slavery that they degenerated into because they had

256
00:10:21,140 --> 00:10:24,060
lost their dominion that they had in their

257
00:10:24,060 --> 00:10:24,960
creation time.

258
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,960
Christ redeems man from this bondage and sets

259
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,560
him free.

260
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,660
And then he speaks to his church.

261
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,400
Christians are related to the church.

262
00:10:35,740 --> 00:10:37,980
He speaks to his glorious church.

263
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:41,660
In the last words he ever spoke in

264
00:10:41,660 --> 00:10:43,860
the great commission of our Lord Jesus Christ,

265
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,920
the last words he ever spoke, he said,

266
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,900
go into all the world.

267
00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:50,520
Talking to small people like us.

268
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:51,720
Go into all the world.

269
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Preach the gospel to every creature.

270
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,420
Imagine that.

271
00:10:55,260 --> 00:10:55,680
Imagine that.

272
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,560
They that believe and are baptized shall be

273
00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:58,000
saved.

274
00:10:58,580 --> 00:10:59,420
When are you saved?

275
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,220
When you believe.

276
00:11:01,020 --> 00:11:02,100
You're not saved later.

277
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:04,580
So many people that claim to be Christians,

278
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,000
they don't even know whether they're saved or

279
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,160
not.

280
00:11:06,460 --> 00:11:07,780
When you believe, you're saved.

281
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:10,080
They that believe are saved.

282
00:11:10,860 --> 00:11:12,040
And they that believe not, what does it

283
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:12,280
say?

284
00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:13,400
They're damned.

285
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,120
They are damned.

286
00:11:15,980 --> 00:11:17,640
And then he said, they that have faith

287
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,180
shall cast out devils.

288
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,440
You have authority.

289
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:22,180
You have power.

290
00:11:22,180 --> 00:11:26,400
You have that pristine authority that went back

291
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,040
to the garden of God, to the garden

292
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,180
of Eden when God gave man his primal

293
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,700
authority, that you are the king of the

294
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:36,560
earth, that you are the leader of the

295
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,300
creation, and that you are the boss down

296
00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:38,540
here.

297
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:39,700
Get on with the job.

298
00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:43,560
And he lost that position through rebellion, through

299
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:48,120
transgression, through listening to the wrong voice and

300
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,100
listening to the devil and not to God.

301
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:52,960
But Jesus reinstates man and gives the royal

302
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,000
command, the royal command.

303
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,500
And this was the last command he ever

304
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:58,980
gave on the face of this earth.

305
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,720
Immediately he was taken up into heaven when

306
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,740
he had given this command.

307
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,640
And so it still stands right now that

308
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,920
the Christian has authority over demons because Jesus

309
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,820
said so.

310
00:12:11,620 --> 00:12:13,440
In the next book of the Bible, in

311
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,560
Acts chapter 1 and verse 8, the Lord

312
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,380
Jesus speaks to his disciples and says, you

313
00:12:19,380 --> 00:12:22,700
shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has

314
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:23,420
come upon you.

315
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,840
And you shall be witnesses unto me, both.

316
00:12:28,220 --> 00:12:29,280
You better put a circle there.

317
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,660
Both in Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria and

318
00:12:33,660 --> 00:12:36,600
unto the uttermost parts of the earth.

319
00:12:37,380 --> 00:12:39,520
Ah, that means man was to get back

320
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,360
the whole world again.

321
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,200
The Christians were to get the whole world

322
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,980
back, that the whole world belonged to you.

323
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:47,520
You got it?

324
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,340
He didn't say stay in Jerusalem until everybody

325
00:12:50,340 --> 00:12:51,020
there is a believer.

326
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,120
He said both.

327
00:12:53,020 --> 00:12:55,080
We don't stay in one city until everybody

328
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,280
believes or you'll die there.

329
00:12:56,580 --> 00:12:58,060
There are people that are determined to go

330
00:12:58,060 --> 00:12:58,460
to hell.

331
00:12:59,020 --> 00:13:00,440
They don't want to see it any other

332
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:00,720
way.

333
00:13:01,220 --> 00:13:03,240
And so you just give them the good

334
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,140
news and if they refuse it, then they're

335
00:13:05,140 --> 00:13:05,640
responsible.

336
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,720
They're totally responsible for it.

337
00:13:08,100 --> 00:13:10,160
And so he said to his disciples, now

338
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,860
listen, ye are my witnesses when I give

339
00:13:13,860 --> 00:13:14,760
you my power.

340
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,140
And so he gave them back the dominion

341
00:13:17,140 --> 00:13:19,200
that they lost in the garden of Eden

342
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,660
and said, now go to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria,

343
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,800
and to the uttermost parts of this earth.

344
00:13:26,180 --> 00:13:28,400
And he told them what would happen.

345
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,480
When they preached the gospel, some would be

346
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,520
saved, some would refuse it, and they would

347
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:32,960
be lost.

348
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,900
And they would cast out devils and they

349
00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:35,620
would heal the sick.

350
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,080
Oh, thank God.

351
00:13:37,420 --> 00:13:40,380
He gave strength and glory to his triumphant

352
00:13:40,380 --> 00:13:40,740
church.

353
00:13:40,740 --> 00:13:43,800
In the gospel of Matthew chapter 16, he

354
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,920
said, and the gates of hell cannot prevail

355
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,880
against you.

356
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,780
Hey, that's getting back there, isn't it?

357
00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:50,800
Getting back to the authority that was lost,

358
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,200
getting back to the freedom that they once

359
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,080
had before they became encumbered with the lies

360
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,620
and the deceits of Satan.

361
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,380
Can you see our picture today?

362
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:05,280
So many people are so in bondage and

363
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,620
even church people, some of them are in

364
00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:10,460
bondage to fear, some are in bondage to

365
00:14:10,460 --> 00:14:14,840
unbelief, some in bondage to dreadful sicknesses, in

366
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,380
bondage.

367
00:14:15,740 --> 00:14:17,480
And the Lord Jesus is speaking to His

368
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,420
church and saying, it's now time for you

369
00:14:19,420 --> 00:14:19,960
to be free.

370
00:14:20,540 --> 00:14:24,380
Christ has a message of authority over demons

371
00:14:24,380 --> 00:14:25,960
and disease or anything else.

372
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,500
His glorious church has been given this, and

373
00:14:29,500 --> 00:14:32,380
He urges you to accept it and to

374
00:14:32,380 --> 00:14:34,920
walk in it and to enjoy it in

375
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,880
Jesus' name.

376
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,840
And in 1 Peter chapter 4 and verse

377
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,620
10, it says, as you have received the

378
00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:43,500
gift, so give it.

379
00:14:44,220 --> 00:14:48,720
You know, I don't understand why you can

380
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,700
be so wonderfully saved and you don't ever

381
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:51,820
tell your neighbor about it.

382
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:54,680
You're saved from hell, and you don't tell

383
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,560
your neighbor about it.

384
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:57,220
I don't understand it.

385
00:14:57,540 --> 00:14:58,780
How you can work with a person in

386
00:14:58,780 --> 00:15:01,060
the office, and they don't know you're saved.

387
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:02,980
How you can work with a person in

388
00:15:02,980 --> 00:15:05,500
the shop, and they don't know you're saved.

389
00:15:06,140 --> 00:15:10,760
I met a revolutionary down in Venezuela, South

390
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,820
America a few years ago.

391
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:15,940
And he had been up to New York

392
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:16,200
City.

393
00:15:16,420 --> 00:15:17,760
He had to run for his life out

394
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,140
of Venezuela because of revolution.

395
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:22,120
And one day, sad and dejected and broke,

396
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:28,320
he dropped into a New York gospel preaching

397
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,680
station that was for the down and outers,

398
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,920
a rescue mission.

399
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,400
And there, before feeding him, they gave him

400
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,100
the word of God.

401
00:15:37,540 --> 00:15:39,100
And they gave him a Bible.

402
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,620
And he began to read it.

403
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:44,320
And he gave his heart to Jesus.

404
00:15:44,980 --> 00:15:47,920
When he came back to Venezuela, he discovered

405
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,120
that for a number of years, he had

406
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,680
lived next door to a missionary.

407
00:15:52,340 --> 00:15:54,520
Now, he told me this in front of

408
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:54,920
the missionary.

409
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,220
And then he looked up at him and

410
00:15:57,220 --> 00:15:59,800
said, why didn't you evangelize me?

411
00:16:00,380 --> 00:16:01,400
That's the way he said it.

412
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,660
Why didn't you evangelize me?

413
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,100
Why would I have to go all the

414
00:16:06,100 --> 00:16:07,800
way to New York and go through all

415
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,840
the suffering that I went through, and you

416
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,960
didn't evangelize me?

417
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,520
He says, you lived next door to me,

418
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:15,280
and you never told me about the experience

419
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,560
that I found in New York City in

420
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,280
a rescue mission.

421
00:16:18,580 --> 00:16:20,900
He says, why didn't you evangelize me?

422
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,900
Friends, the Christian has authority, has authority, has

423
00:16:25,900 --> 00:16:27,720
authority to speak the word of God and

424
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,680
to cause men to submit to the word

425
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,120
of God.

426
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,140
If you don't use it, then you'll have

427
00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:35,120
to one day give an account to God.

428
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,600
Every generation, including us today, have a divine

429
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,640
command to give and to give and to

430
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,320
give and to give, not to keep and

431
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,080
to keep and to keep.

432
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:46,420
No, no.

433
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,120
But to give and to give.

434
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,160
First Peter 4 and 10, and God is

435
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,900
expecting you and God is expecting me that

436
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:57,560
we shall return the gift, tell everybody about

437
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,180
it, and let them know the power of

438
00:16:59,180 --> 00:17:00,640
God as we have done it.

439
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,540
Now, the Christian authority will be challenged.

440
00:17:03,839 --> 00:17:05,460
I mean, we still have a devil.

441
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,020
And in this moment that we live now,

442
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,119
which is the most dramatic moment since the

443
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,440
Lord Jesus went back to heaven, this is

444
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,400
the most exciting time the world has ever

445
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,099
known up until this moment.

446
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:17,640
And you want to know something?

447
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,260
You may think everything's bad.

448
00:17:20,180 --> 00:17:21,640
Did you know God is doing more right

449
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,160
now than I've ever known even doing in

450
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:23,640
my lifetime?

451
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,619
God is saving more people right now.

452
00:17:26,619 --> 00:17:28,760
Did you know that in South Korea they

453
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,700
have one church with 250,000 members?

454
00:17:32,620 --> 00:17:34,660
Did you know that in South Africa they

455
00:17:34,660 --> 00:17:38,460
have just built the largest tent in the

456
00:17:38,460 --> 00:17:42,560
history of the world seating 34,000 human

457
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,080
beings?

458
00:17:44,060 --> 00:17:46,100
Did you know that right now there's revival

459
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:48,560
in certain areas of the world where tens

460
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,740
of thousands are receiving Christ as their Savior?

461
00:17:52,580 --> 00:17:53,740
You better look up.

462
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:55,200
You better get out of the ditch where

463
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,960
you can look up a little higher and

464
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,480
discover God is real.

465
00:17:58,700 --> 00:17:59,940
God is doing things.

466
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:00,820
God is moving.

467
00:18:01,100 --> 00:18:02,940
This is the day of God's blessing.

468
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,840
But the church will be challenged.

469
00:18:05,140 --> 00:18:07,440
The devil wishes to challenge the church.

470
00:18:07,620 --> 00:18:10,620
If he can find your weak spot, he'll

471
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:11,640
move in on your weakness.

472
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,520
But you must remain in the strength.

473
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,700
In 1 Timothy chapter 4 and verse 1,

474
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,020
it says the Spirit, if you will notice,

475
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:23,160
it is with a capital S, which means

476
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,900
the Holy Spirit, that he speaks expressly, expressly,

477
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:31,420
you know, with emphasis, with strength, with power,

478
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:32,240
you know.

479
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:33,860
He speaks expressly.

480
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:36,360
What about in the latter times?

481
00:18:36,580 --> 00:18:37,760
Now, if there's ever going to be any

482
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,460
there right now, in the latter times, he

483
00:18:40,460 --> 00:18:42,440
says some shall depart.

484
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,840
Some shall depart from what?

485
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,860
The faith.

486
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:49,740
Now, the faith is all wrapped up in

487
00:18:49,740 --> 00:18:50,100
the Bible.

488
00:18:50,580 --> 00:18:52,380
Believe in the Word of God is your

489
00:18:52,380 --> 00:18:52,620
faith.

490
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,640
Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the Word

491
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,020
of the Lord.

492
00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:57,540
And so this is an attack upon God's

493
00:18:57,540 --> 00:18:59,380
eternal truth, upon God's Word.

494
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,140
That was a problem in the Garden of

495
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:01,400
Eden.

496
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,340
Eve did not believe God's Word.

497
00:19:04,980 --> 00:19:07,260
Adam did not believe, oh, God won't do

498
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:07,520
that.

499
00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:08,600
That's what Satan told him.

500
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,460
You won't surely die.

501
00:19:11,580 --> 00:19:13,540
When you don't believe God's Word, you're in

502
00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:14,000
for trouble.

503
00:19:14,540 --> 00:19:16,520
The world is in for trouble when it

504
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,100
won't believe the Word of God.

505
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,240
And you better understand it.

506
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,560
You better understand it.

507
00:19:20,740 --> 00:19:23,040
He said, they shall depart from the faith.

508
00:19:23,820 --> 00:19:24,520
What is that?

509
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,060
Believing God, trusting God, loving God, serving God.

510
00:19:28,260 --> 00:19:29,720
They shall depart from it.

511
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:32,500
They're not going to just be backsliders.

512
00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:34,220
No.

513
00:19:35,620 --> 00:19:36,860
We're going to be challenged.

514
00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:38,760
You say by what?

515
00:19:38,860 --> 00:19:40,080
By the cults?

516
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,420
They shall be, they should depart from the

517
00:19:42,420 --> 00:19:46,820
faith, giving heed, listening to, believing in, accepting.

518
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:47,560
What?

519
00:19:48,460 --> 00:19:53,560
Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.

520
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:56,140
Now, I don't want you to get afraid

521
00:19:56,140 --> 00:19:56,840
and run off somewhere.

522
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,160
The battle of the future is not over

523
00:19:59,160 --> 00:19:59,720
doctrines.

524
00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:01,980
Not over doctrines.

525
00:20:02,660 --> 00:20:05,540
The battle of the future is doctrines of

526
00:20:05,540 --> 00:20:08,660
devils in relationship to the Word of God.

527
00:20:08,860 --> 00:20:10,220
Is the Bible true or not true?

528
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,300
We're going to have to stop fighting one

529
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:14,100
another and start fighting the devil.

530
00:20:14,620 --> 00:20:15,720
We're going to have to get our aim

531
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,580
right and aim at the right one.

532
00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:20,880
He said that in these last days, there

533
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,660
would be the authority of the Christian challenged.

534
00:20:24,380 --> 00:20:26,020
I want to tell you right now, there

535
00:20:26,020 --> 00:20:27,500
are just millions of Christians that won't even

536
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:28,480
answer the devil back.

537
00:20:29,060 --> 00:20:30,320
They won't even fight back.

538
00:20:30,940 --> 00:20:31,840
They won't do anything.

539
00:20:33,100 --> 00:20:35,260
Something can happen to one of their members

540
00:20:35,260 --> 00:20:37,940
in their church and they'll send him off

541
00:20:37,940 --> 00:20:38,800
to the insane asylum.

542
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,920
Send him into the devil's pit rather than

543
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,900
setting him free by God's mighty power.

544
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,100
I was speaking in Wisconsin at a men's

545
00:20:47,100 --> 00:20:47,620
meeting.

546
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:52,180
When I was through, a Lutheran pastor walked

547
00:20:52,180 --> 00:20:53,700
right straight down the middle aisle crying.

548
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,180
He said, I put two of my members

549
00:20:56,180 --> 00:20:58,440
in the insane asylum and said, from what

550
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,920
you've said this morning, I'm going to go

551
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:00,440
get them out.

552
00:21:00,860 --> 00:21:01,920
I prayed over him.

553
00:21:02,180 --> 00:21:03,420
I said, just let me know about it,

554
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:03,680
please.

555
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:05,340
A couple of weeks later, got a telephone

556
00:21:05,340 --> 00:21:05,680
call.

557
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,860
He said, Brother Sumrall, they're both out and

558
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:08,500
they're both home.

559
00:21:09,020 --> 00:21:10,540
Says, I went up there, cast the devil

560
00:21:10,540 --> 00:21:11,880
out of them and brought them home.

561
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,220
And says, they're both all right.

562
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:15,620
If there's a battle, what are you going

563
00:21:15,620 --> 00:21:15,920
to do?

564
00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:17,280
Are you going to be like that Lutheran

565
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,960
pastor and say, hey, hey, hey, I'm on

566
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,300
God's side and I'm a winner.

567
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:23,700
I'm not a loser.

568
00:21:24,380 --> 00:21:25,740
And then you're going to win the battle.

569
00:21:26,220 --> 00:21:28,080
But if you're going to take the negative

570
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,240
side and the side of unbelief and the

571
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,900
side of fear, then you will be destroyed.

572
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,900
He says, the Spirit speaketh that in the

573
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:40,440
land of times some shall depart from the

574
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:40,640
faith.

575
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,220
They will give heed to seducing spirits, lying

576
00:21:44,220 --> 00:21:44,580
spirits.

577
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:46,760
And doctrines of devil, saying God isn't right,

578
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:47,440
God isn't true.

579
00:21:48,020 --> 00:21:50,960
Morals are no good, you know.

580
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,880
And say that the whole thing of God

581
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,780
is not true.

582
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:56,760
I want to assure you one thing, that

583
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,020
those things aren't from hell and that you

584
00:22:00,020 --> 00:22:02,400
must believe the truth in order to be

585
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,800
set free.

586
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,100
So the Christian authority is that we resist.

587
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:11,380
You say, now how do we resist?

588
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,120
We discover in 1 Peter chapter 5, verses

589
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,840
8 and 9, where God speaks to us,

590
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,400
the Holy Spirit speaks to us and says,

591
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,520
now be sober.

592
00:22:22,180 --> 00:22:24,240
And as I've told you before, this is

593
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,160
not speaking of alcoholic beverage.

594
00:22:27,420 --> 00:22:28,260
No, it is not.

595
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,120
It is speaking of a stupid, giddy world.

596
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,220
We are living in the world of amusement.

597
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,420
And you know what the word means from

598
00:22:37,420 --> 00:22:38,120
the Greek, don't you?

599
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,080
The A means no or not.

600
00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:41,420
Muse means to think.

601
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,400
And amusement means not to think, you see.

602
00:22:44,820 --> 00:22:45,940
And that's the world that we live in

603
00:22:45,940 --> 00:22:46,200
today.

604
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,440
Be sober, be vigilant.

605
00:22:47,780 --> 00:22:49,660
Your adversary, we have an adversary.

606
00:22:50,020 --> 00:22:51,920
It's not your neighbor, it's not your wife,

607
00:22:52,060 --> 00:22:52,800
it's not your husband.

608
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,380
The Bible says it is the devil.

609
00:22:55,900 --> 00:22:57,920
That he will go about as a roaring

610
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:58,280
lion.

611
00:22:58,340 --> 00:23:00,360
It means he'll come screaming and yelling and

612
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:03,040
overpowering and, you know, acting as if he's

613
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,480
big, seeking whom he may devour.

614
00:23:06,020 --> 00:23:09,420
It says, resist steadfast in the faith.

615
00:23:10,380 --> 00:23:12,140
Now, you can't resist any other way.

616
00:23:12,540 --> 00:23:15,380
Resist steadfast in the faith, knowing the same

617
00:23:15,380 --> 00:23:18,100
affliction are accompanied in your brethren or in

618
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:18,460
the world.

619
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,360
That we've always had the same battle.

620
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,420
From Daniel, the same battle.

621
00:23:22,740 --> 00:23:24,300
From Joseph, the same battle.

622
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:25,980
Peter and John, the same battle.

623
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:28,780
And so we must do that.

624
00:23:29,140 --> 00:23:31,580
James says it in a very strong way.

625
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,940
He says, submit yourselves, therefore.

626
00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:34,820
This is in James 4 and 7.

627
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,300
Submit yourselves to God and resist the devil,

628
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,280
and he will flee from you.

629
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:44,080
How we are glad that we know that

630
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,700
and how we can do it.

631
00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:47,980
And we must do it in Jesus' name

632
00:23:47,980 --> 00:23:49,560
and by his power.

633
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,200
I want to tell you something that you

634
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:51,680
must know.

635
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,620
And that is that sinners cannot exercise demon

636
00:23:55,620 --> 00:23:56,060
spirits.

637
00:23:56,580 --> 00:23:58,140
Now, they absolutely cannot.

638
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,340
You read in God's Word in Acts chapter

639
00:24:00,340 --> 00:24:01,860
19, beginning in verse 11.

640
00:24:01,860 --> 00:24:06,500
And you'll discover there that there were certain

641
00:24:06,500 --> 00:24:11,200
men who were seven sons of a Jew

642
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,400
named Sceva.

643
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,380
And was one of the chief priests.

644
00:24:16,140 --> 00:24:22,200
And they came to exercise a spirit and

645
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:23,000
say, come out of him.

646
00:24:23,180 --> 00:24:24,880
And the spirit said, now we know Jesus

647
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,900
and we know you, and we know Paul,

648
00:24:28,020 --> 00:24:29,040
but we don't know you.

649
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,720
And those evil spirits jumped upon those men,

650
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,220
beat them almost to death.

651
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,260
They fled out of the house naked, the

652
00:24:36,260 --> 00:24:39,700
Bible says, and wounded by demon spirits.

653
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:42,180
Now, you have to be a born-again

654
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:42,600
person.

655
00:24:43,180 --> 00:24:46,340
You have to know what God is doing

656
00:24:46,340 --> 00:24:48,480
in order to be part of it.

657
00:24:48,580 --> 00:24:51,260
So I urge you to realize that if

658
00:24:51,260 --> 00:24:54,420
we're sinners, that we cannot exercise evil spirits

659
00:24:54,420 --> 00:24:56,020
from anybody.

660
00:24:56,020 --> 00:24:59,340
That we have to have a direct and

661
00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:02,420
strong relationship with God in order that we

662
00:25:02,420 --> 00:25:04,420
can set multitudes free.

663
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,600
So we are studying in this lesson in

664
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,800
relation to the church of Jesus Christ, dominant

665
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,720
and powerful, with authority and with strength and

666
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,920
with victory until the Lord Jesus returns back

667
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:18,280
again.

668
00:25:18,660 --> 00:25:22,060
Be part of that victorious and triumphant church

669
00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:23,360
in Jesus' name.

670
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:26,620
And one of the pertinent truths for this

671
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:29,320
moment, for this time in history, the time

672
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,360
has now come for this truth to be

673
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:35,960
fully exposed and brought into pure focus that

674
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,480
we can see clearly that our battle is

675
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,460
not with flesh and blood.

676
00:25:39,660 --> 00:25:42,300
It is with principalities and powers of darkness

677
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:43,820
that we might overcome them.

678
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,680
We do hope that you receive your syllabus,

679
00:25:47,780 --> 00:25:52,020
your teaching syllabus, Demons and Deliverance, principalities and

680
00:25:52,020 --> 00:25:52,560
powers.

681
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,740
And you can write for a catalog, or

682
00:25:56,740 --> 00:25:59,100
you can telephone and see all the information

683
00:25:59,100 --> 00:25:59,860
you need about it.

684
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,720
You can receive this audio tape of this

685
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,080
lesson and of all the lessons in this

686
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:06,420
series.

687
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,120
You can receive them.

688
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:12,860
And you can receive this in videocassette for

689
00:26:12,860 --> 00:26:14,940
your video player and play it on your

690
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:15,660
own TV set.

691
00:26:15,660 --> 00:26:19,980
And so these are made available because God,

692
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:23,460
at this moment, needs a million teachers of

693
00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:23,880
the Word.

694
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,280
Yeah, we are in the greatest victory march

695
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,220
the world has ever known right now.

696
00:26:30,620 --> 00:26:31,180
Get in it.

697
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,060
But you have to go into it intelligent.

698
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,080
You have to understand the Word of God.

699
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:37,120
You have to understand the battle that we're

700
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,660
in today and how to defeat our enemies.

701
00:26:39,940 --> 00:26:42,800
Lord, bless my neighbor right now.

702
00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:45,280
And let the Spirit of the Lord rest

703
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,360
upon my friend.

704
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,900
We believe you now to break every force

705
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:52,280
and every power that Satan has put over

706
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,680
the people and set them free by the

707
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,920
mighty power of the living God.

708
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:00,480
I believe you to set them free.

709
00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:02,440
I believe you to bless them.

710
00:27:03,020 --> 00:27:06,180
In Jesus' name, whatever your need is, may

711
00:27:06,180 --> 00:27:08,800
the Lord Jesus set you free by His

712
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,880
mighty power.

713
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,020
Right now, be free by His power.

714
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,320
Christ loves you, and He wishes right now

715
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,960
to give you strength over all the powers

716
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,360
that be.

717
00:27:20,780 --> 00:27:23,780
He created you for dominion, and so receive

718
00:27:23,780 --> 00:27:25,880
it and accept it and walk in His

719
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,420
power and His strength and His victory.

720
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:31,100
We believe God for it, in Jesus' name.

721
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,180
Look forward to the other studies in this

722
00:27:33,180 --> 00:27:35,440
series, that we might study together the great

723
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,220
truths of God and that you might be

724
00:27:37,220 --> 00:27:38,480
one of the deliverers.

725
00:27:38,780 --> 00:27:39,200
Thank you.

726
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,820
David said that he was glad when I

727
00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:43,260
said unto him, let us go into the

728
00:27:43,260 --> 00:27:44,000
house of the Lord.

729
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,780
I'm glad to say it's time to teach

730
00:27:47,780 --> 00:27:48,040
now.

731
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,000
It's a joy to come to you and

732
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,720
to speak of the eternal verities, truths that

733
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,120
are immortal, truths that will never die.

734
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,720
In this special series of lessons, and I'm

735
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,420
so glad to have you, bless you.

736
00:28:01,780 --> 00:28:04,100
In this special series of lessons, we are

737
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:07,680
dealing with what we call demons and deliverance.

738
00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:12,020
The ministry of principalities and powers.

739
00:28:13,020 --> 00:28:16,740
This is a very large group of cassettes,

740
00:28:16,860 --> 00:28:20,060
audio cassettes that are possible to get, that

741
00:28:20,060 --> 00:28:22,100
covers this whole massive subject.

742
00:28:22,980 --> 00:28:24,940
And it's volume one, so be sure to

743
00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:26,080
ask for it by volume one.

744
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,260
We have the video cassette and a half

745
00:28:29,260 --> 00:28:31,820
inch, and any make of machine that you

746
00:28:31,820 --> 00:28:33,580
might have, that you can see it in

747
00:28:33,580 --> 00:28:34,700
your own home.

748
00:28:35,620 --> 00:28:39,900
Possibly above all, we have the teaching syllabus

749
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:43,400
that you can follow me page by page.

750
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,540
Today's lesson is on page 63, and we

751
00:28:47,540 --> 00:28:50,640
are dealing with a very intimate lesson, how

752
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,900
I learned exorcism, how I learned to cast

753
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:55,680
out devils.

754
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:02,580
And it wasn't easy, and I didn't ask

755
00:29:02,580 --> 00:29:03,800
for it, and I didn't look for it.

756
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,180
It was something that was thrust upon me.

757
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,800
God solemnly warns all of mankind, you and

758
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:10,060
me.

759
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,300
First Corinthians 10 and 20 says, but I

760
00:29:13,300 --> 00:29:16,600
say that the things which nations sacrifice, they

761
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,280
sacrifice to devils and not to God.

762
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,740
I would not that you should have fellowship

763
00:29:20,740 --> 00:29:21,860
with devils.

764
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,520
God refuses to permit His worshipers to have

765
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,120
any fellowship of any kind whatsoever with the

766
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,340
devil or with his angels or any of

767
00:29:34,340 --> 00:29:34,820
his works.

768
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,320
And you must stand right in there.

769
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,740
You must believe it, and you must accept

770
00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:40,940
it.

771
00:29:41,100 --> 00:29:43,800
I would not that you have fellowship with

772
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:44,240
devils.

773
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,180
There is a pertinent truth in 2 Timothy

774
00:29:47,180 --> 00:29:50,220
chapter 2 and verse 26, and they, that

775
00:29:50,220 --> 00:29:53,560
they may recover themselves out of the snare

776
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,380
of the devil, who are taken captive by

777
00:29:57,380 --> 00:29:58,720
him at his will.

778
00:29:59,420 --> 00:30:04,280
Now this possibly refers to heathen nations, that

779
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,340
he may recover themselves out of the snare

780
00:30:07,340 --> 00:30:07,900
of the devil.

781
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:10,140
Through the preaching of the gospel of Jesus

782
00:30:10,140 --> 00:30:15,320
Christ, we recover people, cities, nations, from the

783
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:15,940
snare of the devil.

784
00:30:16,140 --> 00:30:18,920
As you know, a snare is a trap.

785
00:30:20,700 --> 00:30:24,140
It's a contraption that you set for a

786
00:30:24,140 --> 00:30:26,600
rabbit, or a squirrel, in order to catch

787
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:26,800
them.

788
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,200
The animal thinks it is finding good food

789
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,580
to eat, and so going into the trap,

790
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,140
or the snare, it's caught.

791
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,740
And so it is a deception.

792
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,000
This is the manner in which the devil

793
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:43,540
deceives the whole world, the heathen nations, and

794
00:30:43,540 --> 00:30:45,740
even some people in Christian lands.

795
00:30:46,340 --> 00:30:47,340
It's a snare.

796
00:30:47,740 --> 00:30:49,420
They think it's one thing, and they get

797
00:30:49,420 --> 00:30:50,760
themselves involved in another.

798
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,140
The devil fools people into believing that they

799
00:30:54,140 --> 00:30:57,760
will have pleasure in serving him and doing

800
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,120
his things, but they do not get the

801
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:00,380
pleasure.

802
00:31:00,660 --> 00:31:01,380
They are deceived.

803
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,540
He fools them into believing that if they

804
00:31:05,540 --> 00:31:07,700
follow him, that everything will be all right.

805
00:31:08,060 --> 00:31:10,520
And then when nothing is right, and they

806
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,440
have heaps of problems, just like most heathen

807
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,860
nations do, then they don't know what to

808
00:31:15,860 --> 00:31:15,980
do.

809
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:18,860
The scripture says that he takes them captive

810
00:31:18,860 --> 00:31:20,360
at his own will.

811
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,560
Would you like to read that again?

812
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,100
In 2 Timothy 2 and 26, it says,

813
00:31:27,100 --> 00:31:28,860
it says, But I say that the things

814
00:31:28,860 --> 00:31:31,020
which the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils,

815
00:31:31,060 --> 00:31:31,660
and not to God.

816
00:31:31,940 --> 00:31:34,620
And I would not that ye have fellowship

817
00:31:34,620 --> 00:31:35,700
with devils.

818
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:37,600
Then he says in 2 Timothy 2 and

819
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,160
26, And that ye may recover themselves from

820
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,020
the snare of the devil, who are taken

821
00:31:44,020 --> 00:31:46,540
captive by him at his will.

822
00:31:47,420 --> 00:31:50,460
That is mighty strong.

823
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,600
Been taken captive by him at his own

824
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,060
will.

825
00:31:54,540 --> 00:31:55,460
Can you imagine that?

826
00:31:55,780 --> 00:31:56,800
That he does as he pleases.

827
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,600
That that statement indicates that the devil willfully

828
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,160
and deliberately sets snares in order that he

829
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,000
might capture human persons, in order that he

830
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,300
might enslave them.

831
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,380
Now, though I was reared in a Christian

832
00:32:12,380 --> 00:32:15,700
environment, and in a Christian, in an evangelical

833
00:32:15,700 --> 00:32:19,560
church, and grew up from a baby in

834
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,540
that church, I can never remember in my

835
00:32:23,540 --> 00:32:28,440
total youth of ever hearing a whole entire

836
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,840
sermon relative to what I'm going to teach

837
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,760
you right today on demon power.

838
00:32:35,340 --> 00:32:36,300
He was mentioned.

839
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:37,480
He was mentioned.

840
00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:40,480
He was normally called Slewfoot, you know, or

841
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,280
something like that.

842
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,640
And that everybody laughed.

843
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,220
And then they would say, Now you devil,

844
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:47,600
you go back to hell where you came

845
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:47,840
from.

846
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:49,660
And he hasn't been there yet.

847
00:32:50,140 --> 00:32:51,740
That is his final destination.

848
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,820
He is today the prince and the power

849
00:32:53,820 --> 00:32:54,740
of the air.

850
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,160
And so I never got in on this

851
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:58,540
at all.

852
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:00,740
I just grew up.

853
00:33:01,180 --> 00:33:04,840
We heard beautiful gospel, wonderful gospel, but we

854
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,200
knew nothing about the battle.

855
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,620
I look back now and see churches split.

856
00:33:10,620 --> 00:33:12,540
I look back now and see some of

857
00:33:12,540 --> 00:33:14,220
our members that went to insane asylums.

858
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,200
I look back and I say, Whoa, think

859
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,380
of the ignorance that I grew up in

860
00:33:19,380 --> 00:33:21,180
and didn't know I was ignorant, you know.

861
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,920
I thought I was fully informed.

862
00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:25,100
I thought that I was getting a tremendous

863
00:33:25,100 --> 00:33:26,720
education from the whole of the Bible.

864
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,300
But then I found out there's an area

865
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:31,560
of the Word that I actually knew nothing

866
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,860
about and neither did my peers because they

867
00:33:34,860 --> 00:33:36,040
taught me nothing.

868
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,100
I never read a book that was done

869
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:40,340
by a pastor right in our congregation.

870
00:33:41,060 --> 00:33:44,360
And I never heard a sermon on how

871
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,380
you can defend yourself from the devil, how

872
00:33:46,380 --> 00:33:48,500
you can curse the devil, how you can

873
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:51,660
cast him out, how you have priorities over

874
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:53,840
him that he will flee when you say

875
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,600
go and you resist him.

876
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,620
I did not know about this.

877
00:33:57,940 --> 00:34:00,500
When I went into the ministry, we have

878
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:02,620
stories in the Bible of Jesus casting out

879
00:34:02,620 --> 00:34:02,920
the devil.

880
00:34:03,420 --> 00:34:06,680
I followed the pastors that I'd heard and

881
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,780
I spiritualized.

882
00:34:07,780 --> 00:34:10,719
I said, now, in this great realm of

883
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,260
sin, you know, leprosy is a type of

884
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:16,719
sin in general and palsy is a type

885
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,040
of the helplessness of sin.

886
00:34:18,219 --> 00:34:19,440
You just shake and you shake.

887
00:34:20,260 --> 00:34:22,620
And demon possession, it's a type of the

888
00:34:22,620 --> 00:34:23,300
fury of sin.

889
00:34:23,420 --> 00:34:25,080
Oh, fury of sin, it's a bad.

890
00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:28,639
And that's all I, that's what I preached,

891
00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:29,320
you know.

892
00:34:29,980 --> 00:34:31,380
It was a type.

893
00:34:32,420 --> 00:34:34,260
Demon possession is no type of anything.

894
00:34:34,500 --> 00:34:35,520
It's the real thing.

895
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,739
It's being possessed of a real personality called

896
00:34:38,739 --> 00:34:41,940
the devil and with some of his demons

897
00:34:41,940 --> 00:34:43,639
that work with him and for him.

898
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,840
Well, I got along all right.

899
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,739
I preached for three years here in the

900
00:34:47,739 --> 00:34:50,780
United States and then I began my missionary

901
00:34:50,780 --> 00:34:51,120
work.

902
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,800
Now, I got along all right in New

903
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:55,440
Zealand, Australia, you know.

904
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:57,300
But then I got to Indonesia.

905
00:34:58,500 --> 00:34:59,740
Now, I didn't ask for anything.

906
00:35:00,060 --> 00:35:01,620
I just wanted to keep it this pleasing,

907
00:35:02,580 --> 00:35:03,560
happy little way.

908
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,420
Get up and give a nice little talk

909
00:35:05,420 --> 00:35:07,800
on the prodigal son, Daniel and the lions,

910
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,320
then give an invitation, get people saved and

911
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,120
go home happy.

912
00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:12,420
That's all I expected.

913
00:35:13,860 --> 00:35:16,500
In a meeting there in Indonesia, it was

914
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:18,800
a large building, similar to this building here.

915
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,080
Had a large altar, just about like the

916
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:21,540
one here.

917
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,800
And on the front seat was a girl.

918
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,360
In the beginning of the service, she got

919
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,220
off the seat and it was a wide

920
00:35:29,220 --> 00:35:30,920
place, just very similar to this one here.

921
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:36,620
And she began to gyrate like a serpent

922
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,100
and go from one side over to the

923
00:35:40,100 --> 00:35:40,540
other side.

924
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,620
I mean a long way, 50 or 60

925
00:35:42,620 --> 00:35:43,240
feet, you know.

926
00:35:44,380 --> 00:35:46,680
And did you know nobody noticed it?

927
00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:49,140
The song leaders sung and looking up, you

928
00:35:49,140 --> 00:35:49,300
know.

929
00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:51,160
And when they prayed, they looked up.

930
00:35:51,420 --> 00:35:53,320
But no, and I couldn't get my eyes

931
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,140
off this little girl.

932
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:56,900
Green foam was coming out of her mouth,

933
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:58,300
clear out here to look like six or

934
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:01,020
eight inches, covering her all through this part

935
00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:01,500
of her body.

936
00:36:01,980 --> 00:36:05,280
Her eyes dancing, serpent eyes, terrible.

937
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,880
I just, you know, cringed sitting on the

938
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,300
platform.

939
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,360
Inside I said, now, the pastor will take

940
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,100
care of this in a hurry.

941
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:18,120
I'm waiting for one of the ushers to

942
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,020
walk down and pick her up.

943
00:36:19,820 --> 00:36:21,780
Did you know this went on for 50

944
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:24,020
or 55 minutes and nobody did anything?

945
00:36:24,540 --> 00:36:25,920
And she just went from one side to

946
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,140
the other, just like a snake.

947
00:36:27,700 --> 00:36:29,680
And then she'd turn over the other way.

948
00:36:30,020 --> 00:36:32,040
She kept her head toward the platform, grinning

949
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,660
at the people, mocking the people on the

950
00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:35,020
platform.

951
00:36:35,420 --> 00:36:36,300
And here she came back.

952
00:36:36,660 --> 00:36:39,540
Now Java, Indonesia, is a place where there

953
00:36:39,540 --> 00:36:41,900
is, of a truth, a lot of demon

954
00:36:41,900 --> 00:36:42,340
power.

955
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,080
But now this was my first time, my

956
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,140
first time.

957
00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:49,680
Now, brother, the first time can be the

958
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:50,960
hard time, you know.

959
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,200
And I said, oh God, save souls.

960
00:36:53,460 --> 00:36:54,760
And the Lord spoke back to me and

961
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,960
said, I can't save souls until you move

962
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,800
this down here.

963
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,600
I said, oh Lord, move that girl.

964
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,880
The Lord said, no, that's your job.

965
00:37:01,380 --> 00:37:02,200
Oh, I said, no, no.

966
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,840
Oh Lord, move that girl.

967
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,060
The Lord said, no, that's your job.

968
00:37:05,580 --> 00:37:05,740
Whew.

969
00:37:08,380 --> 00:37:09,420
I didn't know what to do.

970
00:37:09,940 --> 00:37:11,440
I'm glad they had a long song service

971
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,540
and a long prayer time and a long

972
00:37:13,540 --> 00:37:16,400
Bible reading and so forth because I was

973
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:17,520
sitting back there battling.

974
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,460
Here was, say, 1,500 people present and

975
00:37:21,460 --> 00:37:22,720
here was a little girl under the power

976
00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:23,120
of the devil.

977
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,260
The pastor did nothing.

978
00:37:24,260 --> 00:37:25,360
The ushers did nothing.

979
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,160
And here she was going up and down

980
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,720
with green mist coming out of her mouth.

981
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,320
And nobody watching her, even the people she

982
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,980
passed by, didn't even look down.

983
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,880
So I guess she had done it before.

984
00:37:35,620 --> 00:37:36,800
But they didn't take her out.

985
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,740
And this was a beautiful church.

986
00:37:39,020 --> 00:37:40,440
I mean, this wasn't a poor place.

987
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,380
This was a magnificent place of worship.

988
00:37:44,740 --> 00:37:46,060
Well, I didn't know what to do.

989
00:37:48,380 --> 00:37:51,160
So I got up from my chair away

990
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,000
in the back and I start toward the

991
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,960
platform, toward the pulpit.

992
00:37:56,540 --> 00:37:58,120
And my interpreter was right there by me.

993
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,580
I'd never been in this place before.

994
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:00,380
It was my first night.

995
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,200
And I'd been in the country over a

996
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:02,380
week.

997
00:38:03,020 --> 00:38:06,320
And I, for my insides, I didn't think

998
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,000
it out with my head.

999
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:09,760
For my insides, I said, get up from

1000
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:10,140
there.

1001
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,140
It's so astounding, my interpreter, he didn't say

1002
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:13,460
a word.

1003
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,440
He just closed up, never said a word.

1004
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,120
And that little thing there blinked an eye,

1005
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,680
reached and took her arm, wiped that green

1006
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,920
mess off her face, stood up, backed up,

1007
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,660
and sat down in the seat.

1008
00:38:30,180 --> 00:38:32,340
And like a mummy, not like a human,

1009
00:38:32,660 --> 00:38:35,320
but like a mummy, glared at me, glared

1010
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,940
at me for the next 50 or 60

1011
00:38:37,940 --> 00:38:38,860
minutes as I preached.

1012
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,300
And you could feel a stillness all over

1013
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:43,840
that place.

1014
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,740
Nobody had ever rebuked like that.

1015
00:38:46,860 --> 00:38:48,220
Of course, most of the people didn't understand

1016
00:38:48,220 --> 00:38:49,500
English, but that devil did.

1017
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,760
That girl didn't speak one word of English,

1018
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:53,440
but that devil knew that I meant get

1019
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,000
up from there.

1020
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,480
And it wasn't premeditated, and I didn't know

1021
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,140
I could do it.

1022
00:38:58,780 --> 00:39:00,680
I just knew that to save that meeting,

1023
00:39:00,740 --> 00:39:01,860
and I wanted to see a few hundred

1024
00:39:01,860 --> 00:39:03,840
people saved, that I had to get that

1025
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:04,600
thing off the floor.

1026
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,460
So when I got through preaching, my interpreter

1027
00:39:08,460 --> 00:39:09,640
went ahead and interpreted for me.

1028
00:39:10,020 --> 00:39:11,100
I got to the end of my sermon.

1029
00:39:11,540 --> 00:39:14,260
Rather than giving my altar call, I leaned

1030
00:39:14,260 --> 00:39:16,340
over and I said, come out of her.

1031
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,920
You'd think it was an earthquake that shook

1032
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:20,400
the building.

1033
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:22,900
The power of God hit that girl.

1034
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:24,840
She was sitting there like a mummy, you

1035
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,900
know, and not an eye moving, not a

1036
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:28,760
muscle moving for all that time that I

1037
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,640
spoke as if she was hypnotized.

1038
00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:32,780
And when I said, come out of her,

1039
00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:36,160
suddenly she became normal, her eyes, her face,

1040
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:36,860
her body.

1041
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,820
And she looked around, and she was smiling,

1042
00:39:41,300 --> 00:39:42,940
and she spoke to the one next to

1043
00:39:42,940 --> 00:39:43,040
her.

1044
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:44,620
And I said to the interpreter, I said,

1045
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:45,820
what did she say?

1046
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:48,120
And the interpreter said, what did she say?

1047
00:39:48,380 --> 00:39:50,300
And he says, she said, where am I?

1048
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,040
She didn't even know where she was.

1049
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:53,300
She was so under the power of the

1050
00:39:53,300 --> 00:39:54,960
devil, she didn't know she was in church.

1051
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,080
But I want to tell you one thing.

1052
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,340
I did not have to give an altar

1053
00:39:59,340 --> 00:39:59,620
call.

1054
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:02,440
The glory of God came down on that

1055
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:02,720
place.

1056
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:04,460
The spirit of the Lord hit that place,

1057
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,060
and hundreds from all over came rushing to

1058
00:40:07,060 --> 00:40:09,400
that altar and gave their hearts to Jesus.

1059
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,160
Now, I didn't know what it was.

1060
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:13,620
So I went home.

1061
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:14,780
I was traveling with a man named Howard

1062
00:40:14,780 --> 00:40:15,720
Carter from London, England.

1063
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,080
He's a theologian and the president of a

1064
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:18,600
Bible college.

1065
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:19,960
And I explained it to him, and I

1066
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,440
said, hey, you may not want to travel

1067
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,060
with me anymore.

1068
00:40:23,260 --> 00:40:24,120
I tell you.

1069
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:27,640
And I told him what happened.

1070
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:28,460
I said, it's pretty bloody.

1071
00:40:29,380 --> 00:40:31,760
And I said, to tell you the truth,

1072
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,260
the pastor didn't speak to me after church.

1073
00:40:33,620 --> 00:40:34,720
It might have been one of his kids

1074
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:35,480
or his friend's kids.

1075
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:35,940
I don't know.

1076
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,360
But I said, I'll tell you one thing.

1077
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:38,500
People got saved.

1078
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:39,840
So he sat there.

1079
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,120
He was a thinking type.

1080
00:40:41,620 --> 00:40:45,360
And he sat there and wiped his face

1081
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,680
a little while holding his hand like this.

1082
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,720
And he said, it sounds all right to

1083
00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:48,940
me.

1084
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,940
Well, I said, well, thank you.

1085
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,160
He says, it may never happen again, or

1086
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,080
it may happen some more.

1087
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:55,900
But he said, it's all right with me.

1088
00:40:56,260 --> 00:40:58,620
He says, I don't see anything wrong with

1089
00:40:58,620 --> 00:40:58,720
it.

1090
00:40:58,740 --> 00:41:00,160
Maybe it'll happen when I'm around sometime.

1091
00:41:00,740 --> 00:41:02,380
He was a teacher, not an evangelist.

1092
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,040
And at that night, he was teaching in

1093
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:05,600
another place.

1094
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,960
The need was so great until we were

1095
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,500
not in the same meetings very often.

1096
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,120
And so I said, well, that's an oriental

1097
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,060
disease that I'm glad I'm taking care of,

1098
00:41:16,140 --> 00:41:18,100
that there won't ever be anymore, and I

1099
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:19,060
won't ever see it anymore.

1100
00:41:19,500 --> 00:41:21,480
But I began to look into the Bible

1101
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,800
and to read the incidents where Jesus cast

1102
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:24,300
out devils.

1103
00:41:24,700 --> 00:41:27,980
And I said, ah, ah, maybe something like

1104
00:41:27,980 --> 00:41:28,580
this is in the Bible.

1105
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:29,440
I didn't know.

1106
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,400
I didn't know the Bible was full of

1107
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:32,700
it all the way through it.

1108
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:33,860
I didn't realize that.

1109
00:41:33,860 --> 00:41:36,840
And so about the next week, we were

1110
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:37,400
in another city.

1111
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:38,740
We only spent a night or two in

1112
00:41:38,740 --> 00:41:40,940
each city because we were only three months

1113
00:41:40,940 --> 00:41:42,900
in Indonesia, and we had to cover a

1114
00:41:42,900 --> 00:41:43,440
lot of territory.

1115
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,260
And we were in another city.

1116
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:48,160
And again, he was in one church, and

1117
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,200
I was in another, at least in auditoriums,

1118
00:41:50,540 --> 00:41:52,760
in order to take care of the ministry

1119
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,260
that was before us.

1120
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,160
And I had an interpreter again.

1121
00:41:58,700 --> 00:42:00,440
And we got to this church late, and

1122
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,200
it was a big place, packed full of

1123
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:02,420
people.

1124
00:42:02,420 --> 00:42:05,420
Even the aisle had folding chairs down the

1125
00:42:05,420 --> 00:42:06,580
aisle and people sitting in them.

1126
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,040
And we had to walk kind of sideways

1127
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:09,800
down the aisle.

1128
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,320
You know, there were so many people, you

1129
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,680
couldn't walk straight because they had these extra

1130
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,100
chairs in the aisle.

1131
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:16,640
I got about a third of the way

1132
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:16,980
down.

1133
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,580
My interpreter was in front, and a woman

1134
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,300
grabbed me by my coat like a vice.

1135
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,540
I went to shake free, but she wouldn't

1136
00:42:24,540 --> 00:42:25,000
turn loose.

1137
00:42:25,780 --> 00:42:27,120
She just looked up at me and grinned,

1138
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,460
and she wouldn't turn loose.

1139
00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:30,920
And my interpreter walked right off and left

1140
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,380
me, went clear to the platform all by

1141
00:42:33,380 --> 00:42:33,740
himself.

1142
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:35,900
I looked back and said, come on, well,

1143
00:42:35,940 --> 00:42:36,600
how could I come?

1144
00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:37,540
Couldn't go anywhere.

1145
00:42:38,340 --> 00:42:40,100
You know, they were holding my coat.

1146
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,400
And I leaned over to see what the

1147
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,180
woman wanted, and she spoke to me in

1148
00:42:45,180 --> 00:42:45,480
English.

1149
00:42:45,940 --> 00:42:49,000
She said, you have a black angel in

1150
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,880
you, and I have a white angel in

1151
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:52,240
me.

1152
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,580
Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.

1153
00:42:54,140 --> 00:42:56,720
Now, I didn't know exactly what to do.

1154
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,000
I could have slapped her side of the

1155
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:58,240
head.

1156
00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:00,480
But, you know, being a guest and a

1157
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:01,820
visitor, that wouldn't be too nice.

1158
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,060
I could have rebuked her and said, turn

1159
00:43:05,060 --> 00:43:05,560
me loose.

1160
00:43:05,740 --> 00:43:07,520
And I could have, like Joseph, given her

1161
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:08,840
my coat and walked on up there without

1162
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:09,260
a coat.

1163
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,640
But when I leaned over and I saw

1164
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,880
the devil in her, I just dropped my

1165
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,760
briefcase that had my Bible in it.

1166
00:43:17,100 --> 00:43:18,840
I put my hands on both sides of

1167
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,640
her head, and I said, you lying spirit

1168
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,240
who says that I have a black spirit

1169
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:26,780
in me and that this woman has an

1170
00:43:26,780 --> 00:43:28,420
evil spirit, a white spirit in her.

1171
00:43:28,500 --> 00:43:29,060
You're a liar.

1172
00:43:29,380 --> 00:43:31,020
I said, come out of her.

1173
00:43:32,060 --> 00:43:34,920
And you know, instantly, God set her free.

1174
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,100
You can tell when people are free.

1175
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:38,200
Their eyes clear up.

1176
00:43:38,500 --> 00:43:39,260
Their face clears up.

1177
00:43:39,660 --> 00:43:40,440
Their tensions go.

1178
00:43:40,700 --> 00:43:42,960
Their wildness leaves their body, you know.

1179
00:43:45,700 --> 00:43:46,880
The church stopped singing.

1180
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:47,820
You know, they were singing.

1181
00:43:48,220 --> 00:43:50,700
When they heard this American roaring away, come

1182
00:43:50,700 --> 00:43:52,540
out of her, they stopped to see what

1183
00:43:52,540 --> 00:43:54,400
the American was doing that was supposed to

1184
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,220
be a guest that night.

1185
00:43:55,220 --> 00:43:58,160
Just a one-night service.

1186
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,060
And I spoke to her, and I said,

1187
00:44:00,140 --> 00:44:02,300
when did you get like this?

1188
00:44:03,020 --> 00:44:06,680
She said, 15 years ago, I went to

1189
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:07,220
a witch doctor.

1190
00:44:08,220 --> 00:44:08,980
And I've had this.

1191
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,040
It says it's never done what it did

1192
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:11,620
tonight before.

1193
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:12,300
This was new.

1194
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,280
But says it's doing something or other all

1195
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:15,800
the time.

1196
00:44:16,540 --> 00:44:18,040
And I'm so weary of it.

1197
00:44:18,860 --> 00:44:20,600
And so she says, I'm free.

1198
00:44:20,900 --> 00:44:21,900
And I know I'm free.

1199
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,640
And I am free.

1200
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,120
And she was wonderfully set free from that

1201
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:26,380
night.

1202
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,080
Well, when we got back to the room

1203
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,860
where we were staying, I told Mr. Howard

1204
00:44:30,860 --> 00:44:31,880
Carter from London, England.

1205
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,760
I said, sir, another one happened, and it's

1206
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:36,640
worse than the first one.

1207
00:44:37,060 --> 00:44:39,440
I told him how before I got into

1208
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:40,880
the platform, when I was only a third

1209
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:42,340
of the way down the aisle, I was

1210
00:44:42,340 --> 00:44:43,380
accosted by this woman.

1211
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,500
And how I cast that thing out of

1212
00:44:46,500 --> 00:44:47,760
her, and she was set free.

1213
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:49,200
He said, well, what happened?

1214
00:44:49,620 --> 00:44:51,360
He said, well, they gave me the pulpit

1215
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:51,680
early.

1216
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,020
I preached, and many, many, many people came

1217
00:44:55,020 --> 00:44:56,260
and found Jesus as their Savior.

1218
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,380
Well, he said, now, when people are finding

1219
00:44:58,380 --> 00:45:01,360
Jesus, it touches me very, very.

1220
00:45:01,660 --> 00:45:03,140
And it says it shows me there's something

1221
00:45:03,140 --> 00:45:04,620
right going on.

1222
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:06,580
He says, I haven't seen anybody act like

1223
00:45:06,580 --> 00:45:09,800
this, but sometimes it'll happen when I'm around,

1224
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:11,540
and I'll test the spirits.

1225
00:45:12,060 --> 00:45:13,680
But he says, it sounds all right to

1226
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:13,860
me.

1227
00:45:14,420 --> 00:45:15,360
I didn't know what it was.

1228
00:45:16,340 --> 00:45:19,100
I was a young man learning how.

1229
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,540
Isn't it something that a young man has

1230
00:45:21,540 --> 00:45:22,680
to learn by experience?

1231
00:45:22,780 --> 00:45:23,800
There's nobody to teach him.

1232
00:45:24,180 --> 00:45:26,080
Aren't you glad you have a teacher that

1233
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,540
can tell you these things, and take the

1234
00:45:27,540 --> 00:45:29,700
Word of God, and open these things up

1235
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:31,260
to you, so that you will know the

1236
00:45:31,260 --> 00:45:33,200
truth, and the truth will set you free?

1237
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,260
Ah, if I were to tell you all

1238
00:45:36,260 --> 00:45:40,820
the instances, just in this one area, in

1239
00:45:40,820 --> 00:45:44,040
the island of Java, it would take two

1240
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,860
or three lessons to go through them, because

1241
00:45:46,860 --> 00:45:47,920
there are many of them.

1242
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:51,040
And God did, we never failed.

1243
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,060
God set them free every time.

1244
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,480
And it rejoiced our hearts to see the

1245
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,980
power of God liberate people and set them

1246
00:45:57,980 --> 00:46:00,880
free, and make them to be happy in

1247
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,040
the Lord Jesus Christ.

1248
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,240
So it was a joy to learn in

1249
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:05,680
this way.

1250
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,540
And now God says, not only to learn,

1251
00:46:09,020 --> 00:46:10,360
He tells me to share.

1252
00:46:10,780 --> 00:46:12,620
And my job is to share with you

1253
00:46:12,620 --> 00:46:14,720
these things of the Lord.

1254
00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:18,960
And maybe I should tell you a few

1255
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,820
more of them there, but some of the

1256
00:46:20,820 --> 00:46:23,760
things that I learned from this was that

1257
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:26,340
as we ministered through this island of Java,

1258
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,420
I discovered that through the numerous encounters we

1259
00:46:30,420 --> 00:46:32,200
had with the devil, that the things we

1260
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,680
learned were also most interesting and exciting.

1261
00:46:36,980 --> 00:46:39,880
But the greatest thing that I learned was

1262
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,280
that there was a conflict, that if I

1263
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,180
went into a heathen place to bring out

1264
00:46:46,180 --> 00:46:47,940
a lot of souls, I had a conflict

1265
00:46:47,940 --> 00:46:49,720
with the devil, and I better know it.

1266
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,400
I better find it out, or I couldn't

1267
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,020
win all these souls to the Lord Jesus.

1268
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,280
So I learned personally that there was a

1269
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:55,620
conflict.

1270
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,920
And then something within me said that Christ

1271
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,640
was stronger and greater than any of these

1272
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,400
forces, and that I had complete power to

1273
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,420
set those people free.

1274
00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:06,820
I hadn't been taught this.

1275
00:47:07,140 --> 00:47:08,520
This had to come out of my own

1276
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,460
spirit, that it was not a person that

1277
00:47:11,460 --> 00:47:14,820
I met who caused the battle.

1278
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,220
It was a spirit that caused the battle.

1279
00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:21,020
It was something within that person that caused

1280
00:47:21,020 --> 00:47:23,840
them to want to fight me and to

1281
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:25,140
come against me.

1282
00:47:25,220 --> 00:47:26,100
It wasn't me personally.

1283
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:27,500
It wasn't because I was an American.

1284
00:47:27,780 --> 00:47:29,240
It wasn't because I was a white person.

1285
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,200
It was because the devil immediately thrust himself

1286
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,200
against me, and so he opened up the

1287
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:35,440
battle.

1288
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,360
Maybe I shouldn't have waited for him to

1289
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:37,980
open the battle.

1290
00:47:37,980 --> 00:47:40,880
I should have opened the battle on him.

1291
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,180
I discovered that there was no reason for

1292
00:47:43,180 --> 00:47:43,680
me to fear.

1293
00:47:43,980 --> 00:47:45,920
Now see, early discoveries are interesting.

1294
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:47,340
Nobody taught me this.

1295
00:47:47,900 --> 00:47:51,920
I learned it this way, that I could

1296
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,700
not lose a battle, that it was not

1297
00:47:53,700 --> 00:47:54,740
possible to lose a battle.

1298
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,320
I found that though they would scream and

1299
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:02,800
tear themselves, and they could not hardly touch

1300
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,960
me, and they could not harm me.

1301
00:48:05,140 --> 00:48:06,240
I never did get harmed.

1302
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:08,120
I never got beaten or hit.

1303
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,120
I've had them to double up their fist

1304
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:11,740
or something other than I just say, in

1305
00:48:11,740 --> 00:48:14,700
Jesus' name, stop, and took control of it,

1306
00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,140
and that I was perfectly safe in exercising

1307
00:48:18,140 --> 00:48:20,460
evil spirits out of other people.

1308
00:48:20,700 --> 00:48:22,140
I found that in most cases that the

1309
00:48:22,140 --> 00:48:25,300
demons wanted to run away when they discovered

1310
00:48:25,300 --> 00:48:27,620
my presence was there, and they did not

1311
00:48:27,620 --> 00:48:30,580
want to confront me, and so it was

1312
00:48:30,580 --> 00:48:33,560
not that they were belligerent and wanted to

1313
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:34,020
fight me.

1314
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:34,900
They did not.

1315
00:48:34,900 --> 00:48:36,460
They wanted to run away from me.

1316
00:48:36,780 --> 00:48:39,360
So as I sought to confirm this new

1317
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,620
activity with the Word of God, then one

1318
00:48:42,620 --> 00:48:43,700
of the first things that came to me

1319
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:45,980
was the great commission that Jesus gave, and

1320
00:48:45,980 --> 00:48:48,720
this became the Gibraltar of my faith then

1321
00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:51,900
in Mark chapter 16, verses 15 through 17.

1322
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,680
This became a Gibraltar of my faith.

1323
00:48:55,180 --> 00:48:56,280
It became the anchor.

1324
00:48:56,780 --> 00:48:58,260
I said, say here, hey, look here.

1325
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:00,360
This is what God can do, and I

1326
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,280
know, and I know that He can do

1327
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:03,460
it.

1328
00:49:03,460 --> 00:49:06,920
You see, we went on through the Orient,

1329
00:49:07,380 --> 00:49:09,940
and we discovered many things.

1330
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,140
In China, we had these conditions where we

1331
00:49:14,140 --> 00:49:16,060
had to cast out spirits out of people

1332
00:49:16,060 --> 00:49:18,800
that would tear them, and they couldn't sit

1333
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,140
anywhere and couldn't go anywhere.

1334
00:49:20,660 --> 00:49:23,400
In Japan, we had the same thing happen,

1335
00:49:24,060 --> 00:49:27,620
and brother, I was 20 and 21 years

1336
00:49:27,620 --> 00:49:27,960
old.

1337
00:49:28,940 --> 00:49:31,840
I said, this is an organ disease, and

1338
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:32,920
I'd be glad to get out of it.

1339
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,200
So when we crossed Siberia and Russia into

1340
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,480
Poland and into Europe, I said, I'm glad

1341
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:40,640
to get away from that nagging thing that

1342
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,220
almost every meeting I have, somebody snails up,

1343
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,500
and I have to cast the devil out

1344
00:49:44,500 --> 00:49:44,760
of them.

1345
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:46,580
I'd be glad to get away from it.

1346
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,180
We hadn't been in Poland a week, I

1347
00:49:50,180 --> 00:49:50,700
don't believe.

1348
00:49:51,300 --> 00:49:52,980
The most could have been 10 days.

1349
00:49:54,060 --> 00:49:55,960
Before, we were speaking in a large church,

1350
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:57,520
and I don't know whether Reverend Carter was

1351
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:58,040
there or not.

1352
00:49:58,480 --> 00:49:59,920
It seems to me that he wasn't in

1353
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:01,600
that meeting because we had so many separate

1354
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,760
meetings, just two men traveling together, and the

1355
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,600
needs were so great, we could have used

1356
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,400
40 men in some of them rather than

1357
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:07,880
just two.

1358
00:50:08,460 --> 00:50:10,420
But in the meeting that I had, I

1359
00:50:10,420 --> 00:50:11,500
think it was in the great city of

1360
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:16,760
Lodz in Poland, that the meeting opened, and

1361
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,820
I was sitting on the platform, and a

1362
00:50:19,820 --> 00:50:21,040
woman in the front seat began to say,

1363
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:24,740
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

1364
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,960
And I said, boy, that's terrible.

1365
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,940
That's cutting, destroying, you know.

1366
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,500
And I said, ah, you got to get

1367
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:34,260
rid of that.

1368
00:50:34,740 --> 00:50:37,860
Did you know, for the whole preliminaries, 30,

1369
00:50:38,020 --> 00:50:40,520
40, 50, 60 minutes, however long the thing

1370
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,680
was, she sat there, and about every minute

1371
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,180
said, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

1372
00:50:44,700 --> 00:50:45,960
And her face didn't even look right.

1373
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:47,660
Did you know the pastor did nothing?

1374
00:50:47,940 --> 00:50:50,000
That's what amazes me in religious leaders.

1375
00:50:52,780 --> 00:50:54,300
The ushers did nothing.

1376
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:55,700
The deacons did nothing.

1377
00:50:56,020 --> 00:50:58,460
She sat there and disturbed that meeting for

1378
00:50:58,460 --> 00:50:59,860
almost an hour before I got up to

1379
00:50:59,860 --> 00:51:02,220
speak with a little Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

1380
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,240
Now, all I did is pray for souls.

1381
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:07,020
I am a soul winner.

1382
00:51:07,500 --> 00:51:08,600
I said, oh, God, save souls.

1383
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,720
The Lord says, I can't, because of that

1384
00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:12,580
annoyance in the front seat, getting all the

1385
00:51:12,580 --> 00:51:12,920
attention.

1386
00:51:13,500 --> 00:51:15,300
I said, oh, Lord, help that woman.

1387
00:51:15,540 --> 00:51:16,460
God says, I can't help her.

1388
00:51:16,780 --> 00:51:17,220
He says, you won't?

1389
00:51:17,500 --> 00:51:18,040
Let me help her.

1390
00:51:18,300 --> 00:51:19,720
I said, Lord, you do something.

1391
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:20,980
The Lord said, you're going to have to

1392
00:51:20,980 --> 00:51:21,320
do it.

1393
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:22,160
Oh, oh, oh.

1394
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:23,060
Are you sure?

1395
00:51:24,420 --> 00:51:26,840
When I got up to speak, I didn't

1396
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:27,460
know what I was going to do.

1397
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,280
I never pre-thought these things out.

1398
00:51:30,620 --> 00:51:33,060
I walked up to that pulpit, and rather

1399
00:51:33,060 --> 00:51:36,740
than just saying good evening, it's a great

1400
00:51:36,740 --> 00:51:37,440
joy to be here.

1401
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:38,160
Glad to see you.

1402
00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:39,080
Glad to be in your city.

1403
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,200
I just said, you shut up!

1404
00:51:42,340 --> 00:51:44,140
And a strong, loud voice.

1405
00:51:45,020 --> 00:51:46,140
You say, did she shut up?

1406
00:51:46,380 --> 00:51:46,720
No.

1407
00:51:47,180 --> 00:51:49,140
She began to bark like a dog.

1408
00:51:49,660 --> 00:51:51,040
She barked like a dog.

1409
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,380
A beautiful woman.

1410
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:56,020
And then here came the ushers, you know?

1411
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:57,880
Goodness gracious.

1412
00:51:58,460 --> 00:52:00,140
I said, go back and sit down.

1413
00:52:01,140 --> 00:52:02,900
And told my interpreter to start talking.

1414
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,180
And so I leaned over and I said,

1415
00:52:05,220 --> 00:52:06,320
you come out of her!

1416
00:52:07,300 --> 00:52:09,040
And I never did get close to the

1417
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:09,220
woman.

1418
00:52:09,460 --> 00:52:10,840
She was healed by God's power.

1419
00:52:11,260 --> 00:52:12,260
That barking stopped.

1420
00:52:12,540 --> 00:52:13,600
The hallelujah stopped.

1421
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,940
And she was completely free, healed by God's

1422
00:52:16,940 --> 00:52:17,480
mighty power.

1423
00:52:17,820 --> 00:52:19,260
The Spirit of the Lord came upon that

1424
00:52:19,260 --> 00:52:21,860
mighty audience, and hundreds of people found Jesus

1425
00:52:21,860 --> 00:52:22,360
that night.

1426
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,660
Now, that's my education.

1427
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:27,760
My education, you see.

1428
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,500
But I got startled.

1429
00:52:30,020 --> 00:52:31,960
I said, say, they got this in Europe,

1430
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:32,460
hadn't they?

1431
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,640
It's not only in China, Indonesia, and Japan.

1432
00:52:36,980 --> 00:52:37,660
In Europe!

1433
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,740
Did you know in England we had many

1434
00:52:40,740 --> 00:52:42,640
cases of people that were possessed to be

1435
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:43,020
set free?

1436
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,640
But in my foolishness, I said, I want

1437
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:46,480
to get back to America.

1438
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,200
You Europeans, you got it, and you Asians,

1439
00:52:49,340 --> 00:52:50,580
you have it, but I'm going back to

1440
00:52:50,580 --> 00:52:51,820
America where we don't have it.

1441
00:52:52,700 --> 00:52:54,120
And you know, when I got back to

1442
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,460
America, within the first two weeks that I

1443
00:52:57,460 --> 00:53:02,400
was here, I had a tremendous confrontation that

1444
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,100
I'm going to tell you about in our

1445
00:53:04,100 --> 00:53:04,660
next lesson.

1446
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,520
We will continue part two in how I

1447
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,440
learned to cast out evil spirits.

1448
00:53:11,780 --> 00:53:13,160
I had to learn it.

1449
00:53:13,540 --> 00:53:14,500
Nobody taught me.

1450
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:15,740
Nobody helped me.

1451
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,520
I had no books on the subject.

1452
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,040
And God helped me to learn, to teach

1453
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,800
you how you can exercise evil.

1454
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:25,600
God can help you to do it.

1455
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,480
God bless my neighbors and friends and give

1456
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,320
them strength and power to resist the devil

1457
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,360
and to cast him out upon the authority

1458
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:33,940
of the Word of God and the power

1459
00:53:33,940 --> 00:53:36,280
of the blood that was shed on Calvary.

1460
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,440
I believe you for it, and I thank

1461
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:38,960
you for it.

1462
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:40,000
Amen.

1463
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,440
Please remember that you can order an audio

1464
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,980
tape, and we'd be glad to hear from

1465
00:53:45,980 --> 00:53:47,380
you what God has done for you in

1466
00:53:47,380 --> 00:53:47,780
miracles.

1467
00:53:48,140 --> 00:53:50,900
You can order a video tape, half inch,

1468
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,560
for your own little video set, for your

1469
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:54,960
player in your own home.

1470
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,800
And by all means, you should order the

1471
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,760
teaching syllabus and start using it to help

1472
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:01,100
others.

1473
00:54:01,540 --> 00:54:03,940
And the teaching syllabus is called Demons and

1474
00:54:03,940 --> 00:54:05,880
Deliverance, Principalities and Powers.

1475
00:54:06,180 --> 00:54:07,780
We want you to by all means order

1476
00:54:07,780 --> 00:54:10,900
and get it and let's start a move

1477
00:54:10,900 --> 00:54:12,600
of God this country has never known.

1478
00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:14,980
God told me that he needs one million

1479
00:54:14,980 --> 00:54:15,420
teachers.

1480
00:54:15,420 --> 00:54:18,760
He wants you to be a teacher, to

1481
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,220
teach others, to show others the way, to

1482
00:54:21,220 --> 00:54:23,060
talk the way and preach the way, live

1483
00:54:23,060 --> 00:54:23,500
the way.

1484
00:54:24,220 --> 00:54:26,920
And so get yourself armed with truth and

1485
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,360
go out to set many free in Jesus'

1486
00:54:29,540 --> 00:54:29,680
name.

1487
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,240
We want to say thank you for being

1488
00:54:31,240 --> 00:54:33,200
with us, both in the class and you

1489
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:34,560
that are with us by means of television

1490
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:35,500
and satellite.

1491
00:54:35,980 --> 00:54:37,740
And we say God love you and God

1492
00:54:37,740 --> 00:54:38,140
bless you.

1493
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:39,940
And we want all of you to know

1494
00:54:39,940 --> 00:54:42,240
that Christ is the answer to every problem,

1495
00:54:42,820 --> 00:54:44,120
that Christ is the one that can help

1496
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:45,880
you and bless you right now, that he

1497
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,760
at this moment can do great things for

1498
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:47,900
you.

1499
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,300
Believe him, trust him, put your faith in

1500
00:54:50,300 --> 00:54:50,440
him.

1501
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,360
You'll find that it always works.

1502
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:53,860
Thank you so much for being with us.

1503
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,300
Until next time, keep believing in God, keep

1504
00:54:56,300 --> 00:54:58,560
trusting in Jesus and you'll find that Christ

1505
00:54:58,560 --> 00:54:59,900
is the answer.

1506
00:55:02,610 --> 00:55:04,390
You've been listening to the From the Pulpit

1507
00:55:04,390 --> 00:55:05,510

1508
00:55:06,050 --> 00:55:08,230
