Welcome to another Last Hour Borean's LastDay's Update, but we discussed Bible prophecy
exposed to wolves and false teachings thathave crept into the church, declaring the
soon return of the Lord, firstfor his church in the air and then
(00:21):
with his church at the end ofthe tribulation look up for our redemption draws
nine. Welcome everyone to another LHBLast Day's Update with Chris Lewis and Sam
and today we have again Sister Addiewith us and we hopefully will conclude this
message on angels the Invisible Warriors.This is going to be part three,
(00:42):
but before we begin, why don'twe say hello to the LHB family.
Sammy go for it. Hi,guys, I hope you're all having a
good day, and I hope youlearn a lot in this video and we
can help any questions that people mighthave. Amen, Louis, I'd like
to welcome everyone back, and ifwe we, we pray that the information
(01:03):
that we have will help you makea decision and understand all the misconceptions there
is about angels throughout centuries of ourlives. About Amen and Sister Addie,
Yes, it's uh, it isit's wonderful to be back, was so
great to be a part of thistopic series. And we do pray that
(01:25):
that there that if you have questions, you have doubts, you have concerned,
you have confusion, because confusion isnot a God, that this video
series will help you to take careof all that. And of course we
always tell you go to the wordAmen. Amen. So today we want
to, you know, finish withthe fallen angels and their attacks unbelievers and
(01:48):
unbelievers. Right, they keep unbelieversin the dark through their deception. And
you know, the Bible talks abouttwo groups of angels, okay, One
are the elect which we already discussedall the holy angels, and we get
that from First Timothy five twenty one. I charge thee before God and the
Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angelsthat thou observe these things without preferring one
(02:13):
before another, doing nothing by partiality. So there's the group that did not
rebel a guillants God or joined forceswith Lucifer. They are forever fixed in
that holy position. They can't fallanymore. They're elect. Now that that's
Michael Gabriel and you know whoever elsethere but that's two thirds of the angels
are elect while the other one thirdare the fallen angels are you know,
(02:38):
the cursed ones. Okay, andtoday we're gonna go over some of the
ways that they attack us, right, and I want to start with the
obvious one, temptation. Right.Anyone that's been a born again believer for
any length of time knows that suddenlyyou're bombarded with temptation that you didn't have
(02:58):
before. You know, you didn'thave before you were living in relative peace
because your flesh and your lost soulwere one. But now when you get
saved, your soul is saved,but you're still in this, this the
fallen body, and now you havean enemy within, which is the flesh
and your spirits. They're always conflictingand fighting and all of that. So,
(03:20):
Addie, I mean, temptation isa powerful weapon, isn't it.
It's extremely powerful, and it cancome in various ways. You know,
our weaknesses are very well known toour enemies, and they know because we
let you know, We let themknow. Can't they can't read in our
minds, but we let them knowby what we do, what we say
where we go, that we havea weakness for those things, and then
(03:45):
they just exacerbate it. But youknow, I love you know. If
people always I have this thing aboutI absolutely it triggers me big time when
people blame Satan for everything. Now, no demonic activity is everywhere. I
understand that. But we have afallen sin nature that can say yea and
amen, or get away, getback from me, say not, I
(04:05):
want to have anything to do withyou. And then we have the world.
So we have to be very careful, as born again Christians we are.
That's when the battle begins. Youknow. I had the preacher who
baptized me. He said, Addy, this is when your your struggle starts.
Because before you were just floating along, you know, in the sea
(04:26):
of sin, loving every man ofit, not being convicted. But now
your battle begins because you have theHoly Spirit residing inside of you. But
God gives us encouragement in scripture.And this is one of the scriptures that
I love, and I will finishwith this first Corinthians ten thirteen. There
hath no temptation taken you, butsuch is as common to man. But
(04:50):
God is faithful, who will notsuffer you to be tempted. Above that
e or able, but will withthe temptation also make a way to escape
that he may be able to bearit. And you have to be able
to be in tune with the HolySpirit, in tune with God's words,
to be able to understand that thatprompting and that leading of the Holy Spirit
(05:14):
when you go, okay, Ineed to close this book, I need
to shut off this video, Ineed to walk out of this room.
That's the understand it, Amen andLewis. I mean, you know,
the flesh is like if you feedthe flesh with sin, it's gonna get
stronger. Right. The only wayto to get rid of this temptation or
(05:35):
to lessen it is to starve it. Because you starve it, the weaker
the flesh will get. That's wherethat fasting and prayer comes in. It's
not a magical formula God was givingus. He was telling us something practical.
Listen, when you fast, whichis to weaken the body, then
you fill it up with prayer thatstrengthens the spirit. So now the body's
(05:56):
weak and the spirit is strong.And that's that's what a Christians are neglecting
to do, right, all right? Correct? You know there's there's an
old believed an Ald saying that saysthat you have two walls within you.
One is good and the other oneis bad. And people say, well,
which one do you listen to?It says, well, what happens
(06:16):
says you're gonna feed one more thanthe other. So which everyone you feed
the most is the one that's alwaysgoing to be there. And like Christ
you just now said you have tofeed your spirit. You have to feed
that part and you do it throughthe Word of God, reading the Word
of God, understanding being a partof a like we are at being of
(06:36):
where there's so many people that believein the world and study the Word and
and and understand things. That's anew Christians. You don't or you may
have questions, but that only comesthrough the word of God. I said,
you have you your your your body. You're fighting against the flesh all
(06:57):
the time. And you know wewe can't hear it Adam's original sin of
disobedience any other sin after that.It's it's it's our responsibility. We can't
blame Satan. And like sister andhe said that, uh, you know,
people are you know the devil mademe do it? Well, no,
the devil didn't make you do it. Okay, You just like what
(07:19):
he was saying, and you goyou want to hit it and hit it,
okay, But you can't blame thedevil. Sin. It's our responsibility
and we have to hit the spirit, you know. And and again it
is the word that will help youfight all of this. Man. It's
Sammy, you know. I mean, Lewis made a great point. No
(07:40):
one at the Great White Throne judgmentcan say the devil made me do it.
The reason I rate this person isbecause the devil made me do it.
Because if that was the case,then we wouldn't be guilty of anything,
would be right, Yeah, wewouldn't be guilty of anything. And
the thing is, like Lewis said, and like Addie said, the devil
(08:01):
and demons contempt us to do things, but we're the ones who have the
free will to choose to do it. Like when I sin, it's because
I chose too given to send right, not because I was tricked into it
or I just like fell upon it, like I was just on my you
know, walking on my merry wayand then I just oh, no,
sin, Like it's because it's becauseit's because I chose to do it,
(08:22):
and we all choose to send everysingle day because we have that flesh nature.
Still, we have that old man, and the old man is not
gonna go away until we die andwe're in heaven or the rapture. Amen.
Amen, And again, guys,we're talking about how fallen angels utilize.
Like Addie says, I got freewill. Okay, they can read
(08:43):
us. You know, I canread somebody's face and say, oh,
they're having a bad day. Oryou can look at a guy looking at
a half naked woman across the roomand say, oh, I know what
he's thinking. Demons are smarter thanus, and they know exactly how to
read the room and how to readour body language and what we enjoy,
what we spend most of our timedoing in the dark, right, like
(09:05):
you know, come on, Sinis always in the dark, you know,
secret, at least secret to otherhumans, not to God, right,
God seas all. But but yeah, they utilize our weaknesses and that's
how the temptation comes in. Butlike Addie said, again, God gives
us a way out every single time, and he won't allow Satan can only
(09:26):
tempt us so far, He won'tallow Satan at tempt us past what we
can handle. If we're getting temptedwith something, God knows that we have
the power through Him to overcome it. You know, God will never allow
something we cannot handle to come tous. I mean, he's a loving
father, and he allows certain temptationsto come our way to strengthen us so
(09:48):
we can learn, so we cangrow, so we can learn to depend
on Him more. Everything. TheBible says, all things go together for
good for those that love the Lord. Right, even your temptations can work
together for your good. If youknow the Lord, it'll strengthen you.
You may fall, all right,you may, but you'll get back up
and you'll be stronger for it ifyou rely on the Lord, okay,
(10:09):
and he will forgive you. Hewill, you know, all right.
The next one, this is abig one, and we deal with this
every single day in our ministry.Doctrines of demons. Right, So,
fallen angels have their own Bible,they have their own doctrine, okay,
And usually it goes against the wordof God. It right, addie,
(10:33):
it absolutely does. And And whenI was when I was looking over this
today, I was I was thinkingback on when we on our last video
when we talked about uh Satan andhis his his his ultimate sin was pride,
and of course everything, every othersin, in my opinion, is
rooted in pride. Everything you know, you can name them, list them,
(10:54):
They're all under the canopy of pride, which is Satan's sin. So
if when we look at that,the first thing, of course that comes
to mind. When I think ofdoctrines of demons, and there's there is
that plethora of them within Christendom today, I think the first thing I think
is doubt, Just like Satan didwith Eve in Genesis Street. My immediate
(11:22):
thought is doubt. Because you gotpride, then you have doubt and everything
else comes under that banner. Soif we start listing off everything that we
know are doctrines of demons, demons, that men are little gods, that
you know that that Jesus did notdie for everyone who ever lived and will
(11:45):
live. You know, those areall samples, and we could go on
and say others, but it allgoes back to doubting God's word. And
if you doubt not, you aredoubting God. Yes see the written word,
the living word, Jesus Christ,which all goes back to Satan and
his pride and amen. You know, brother Lewis h doctors of demons.
(12:09):
We deal with this every day,right And you, you and I've been
to churches where this. You knowwe've seen and heard doctrines of demons like
you must speak in tongues, that'sthe evidence. Or you gotta name it
and claimant what we're talking about offcamera. You know, you gotta speak
it and keep it, you know, blab it and grab it all that
stuff. Right, and we arelittle gods, like Addie just said,
we could, you know, wecan create like God. Brother, isn't
(12:33):
this the same lie from Genesis threefive? Satan's lies repackaged? It is?
You know, you go to checkin Corinthian you're living three and and
it says, but I fear let'sby any means, as the serpent,
big guy, I'll leave through hissubtility. So your mind should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in Christ. He will put thoughts in your mind.
(12:56):
He will make you doubt God outwhat he said, because that's what
he did to eat. He madeher doubt what God had said. And
and and that's that's that's our problem. We we we doubt sometimes and and
when we doubt, Satan can readour our demons can read our our faiths
and and the end they can attack. And going back to what Sister Addie
(13:20):
said, it is pride. It'svery simple. When you sin, you're
not thinking of God, okay,uh, and you're thinking of yourself.
You put yourself before God. Soit is pride. Every sin goes back
to pride. And then let's theonly way to battle that is through the
(13:41):
Word, through prayer. I usedto be able to fast, it's very
hard for me to do it now, and diabetes, but like Chris says,
it's to weaken the body and strengtheningthe mind. And this is the
only way we can do this.This is the only way we can fight.
Uh. And we go back toefficients chapter six, the whole Armor
(14:03):
of God, and it's telling youhow to fight. Satan is telling you
how you have to be prepared becausehe walks with when you're in the world,
Satan walks with you, pretending tobe your friend. The minute you
become a Christian, then he becomesyour worst enemy and he's gonna come after
you because he wants you. Hewants to take you away from God again.
(14:26):
And when we go back to theparables of the seats where all the
seats fell in, it's telling youthat the good ground is those who are
rooted in the word of God.Right. I mean I say amentioned that
because I say that all the timewhen talking about the seat and the sword
right out of all the ground,stony ground, all that. The only
(14:50):
group that really got saved, reallyyou know, understood God's words are those
who understood he heard it, understand. The other ones didn't understand. They
just heard it and you know whatever, And I thought, they know their
religious activities, would would you know, do the job? But the ones
that understood, and what do youunderstand? Do you understand that you are
(15:13):
a sinner? You understand that you'reweak, you understand that you're on your
way to help, and you understandthat Jesus is the only savior see these
things? That that's what That's whatmakes the gospel makes sense. You know,
you can't just you know, oh, hey you're going to hell.
Well okay, why am I goingto hell? I think I'm a good
person. You gotta you know,this is what you gotta also make people
(15:37):
understand when presenting the gospel. Alot of people leave out the garden,
and they leave out the fall andall that, and all of that is
part of the gospel, all ofthat because I can't tell you just trust
in Jesus and you'll go to heaven. When you think you're a good person
and you don't even understand why youneed to trust in Jesus, makes no
sense. But Sammy, Yeah,you know, pride has been the theme
(15:58):
with the doctrine of demons here,and it's you have to really be arrogant
to think that you know better thanGod's word, right you do? I
mean some of the doctrines of demonsthat we were talking about, we're you
know, name it and claim it. You know, you can only confess
(16:19):
good things because then they'll come toyou. And how prideful and arrogant do
you have to be that you cancontrol what happens to you? Yeah,
Like I can't control what happens tome on a daily basis. Amen,
So so you have to be extremelyprideful to be like, oh, well,
(16:40):
if you know name and claim thatI'll get this job or you know
whatever, or I'll get a lotof money, then yeah, you think
that you have the power to likewill it into existence when you don't.
Yeah, yeah, And you know, amazingly, since Addie brought up pride,
and you know, I think ofall the leader in these churches that
(17:00):
teach that stuff, and they're filledwith you know, Kenneth Copeling alone,
we could spend the whole hour onthat Jesse who planets all these guys,
Joyce Meyer, Beth Moore there.You can look at them, listen to
them, and they are filled withpride, and therefore they're dispensing doctrines of
demons to those who are listening tothem. So that's very interesting. Pride
(17:22):
is at the center that, likeAddie pointed out a number three. Another
thing they do is they cause ungodlyfear. What do I mean by that?
You know, if you look atsome of these horror movies or whatnot,
they make Satan not to be thisall powerful entity. And of course
you're bringing the Catholic priests, youknow, and he's having a hard time.
(17:44):
He's struggling against this demon, andso it looks like God is weak.
It looks like Satan is all powerful, and it's hard to get rid
of him. But the Bible saysSister addie that if you resist the devil,
he'll flee from you if you're ifyou're a Christian, right exactly,
and all you have to do isresist. And how do you know that
that's all you have to do?You know it because you you read it
(18:06):
in God's words, you know,like you know, like some of you.
I got saved later in life,so I know what it's like to
live with different kinds of fear,you know, whether it be a physical
form of fear or a spiritual formof fear. And why because I based
everything on myself or on what Ithought was biblical Christianity, And of course
(18:30):
I questioned that at a very youngage praise God, but that that fear
was something that when when you lookat at the fear of God, which
is which is that reverent fear?That yeah, that's where a lot of
people get me, except they talkabout what God says you're supposed to fear
(18:51):
him. I said, yeah,but you were defining it by the world
standards, not by God's words.So you have to understand scripture. That's
why I tell people you just gotto read You've got to read God's words.
You just got to keep reading it. Over and over and over constantly.
I don't care if it's your tenminutes in the Lord or ten years
in the Lord. Reading God's wordis what makes you understand that when you're
(19:14):
living as a born again believer inChrist, that the fear that you have,
the only fear, is that awesome, revering fear for your heavenly Father,
who sent his son to die foryou. That is the only fear
that you need. Yeah, Isay amen of that, because you know
a lot of people confuse the terrorof the Lord, which is the ungodly
(19:37):
need to be terrorized, terrified ofgoatly where and whereas his children have reverence
like you honor your mother and father, you fear fear my parents. You
know, if I did something wrong, I feared them, but as it's
a good fear. I knew thatthey weren't gonna kill me. I knew
that they weren't going to throw meout of the house. But I feared
the consequences of my actions when Irebelled against them. There's a difference a
(20:00):
reverence fear and and then there's aterror fear and the ungodly need to be
terrified. I'm telling you that becauseit's a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God. OurGod is a consuming fire. Okay,
therefore, you know, knowing theterror of the Lord, we persuade men.
Now that that's just Bible, that'swhat it says. So because you
(20:23):
know, the ungodly unfortunately our enemiesand we were all once enemies of God.
You don't want to be God's enemy. You just don't want to.
You're not gonna You're not gonna winthat argument. You're not gonna win that
war. You're gonna lose. Okay. Satan will find that out very soon.
You know, he gambled and helost for the Lewis. I mean,
(20:44):
sometimes we fear that God is notgoing to provide for us, you
know Christian's you know, and welisten. I struggle with that. You
know, you start to hear things, a man, they're doing layoffs.
Oh man, what you know whatyou know, they're raising prices at the
gross store. The gas is goingup. What are we gonna do?
But I mean, doesn't the Biblesay that if the Lord takes care of
(21:06):
the lilies of the field and thebirds of the air, you know,
he'll take much more better care ofus. Listen, we I've gone through
it. You know. You talkabout layoff. I've been on jobs that
you know they're coming to an end, and and you start thinking, are
they're gonna lay me off or not? Sometimes I have been laid off.
(21:26):
Sometimes I'm not. I haven't.But the funny thing is that, you
know, gas goes up, everythinggoes up. The economy is bad,
and that fear sometimes, you know, overtakes you. But we are all
here after being laid off, afterlosing jobs. The gas prices are going,
you know, going to everything.We are still here and we have
(21:49):
been provided for so all that fear, when you look back on it,
it was silly because there was nothingto fear. God, it take in
care of you. It may notbe you know, we all want,
you know, a bank account.Okay, but sometimes it's not good for
us either, you know, Andso as long as he provides, you
(22:15):
know, it's like the Lord's prayer, you know, our daily bread,
and he provides with our daily breadman manna in the desert. Okay,
he provided every single day for them. If you trust them, you know,
don't don't try to keep them fortomorrow because it will turn into warm
So the fear is in Satan loveto make you fear things and that God.
(22:41):
And then we go back to God'sword like adding us reading it is
it is just the word that weneed to keep us uh to feed our
spirit. If we feed our spirit, we wouldn't have to worry so much
about feeding our bodies. Amen,Amen, it's sam. You know.
Another aspect of this fear that Satanyou know, tries to attack us with,
(23:07):
is hey, don't don't preach thegospel because people are going to look
at you funny and you're gonna lookstrange. Don't do that, you know,
And that's a that's a very powerfulattack, isn't it. It is,
because you know, he will putthose thoughts in our heads or be
like, well, you can tellsomeone, but they'll just reject you.
(23:30):
But really they aren't rejecting you,they're rejecting God. And so we do
need to tell people the gospel becausewe as Christians, we have the water
of life, but if we justhold it for ourselves, we're not sharing
it with others while people are justdying around the searching for a living water.
(23:51):
And it is scary to talk topeople. It is. I'm an
introvert. I don't like talking topeople I don't know, but you know,
if you aren't comfortable doing it inperson, I leave tracks and stores.
When I go to stores, Ijust leave tracks and like someone will
find it, you know, oryou know, obviously we explained the gospel
(24:15):
at the end of these videos.Or you can post things on your social
media, you can, you canshare the gospel with people in so many
ways. Now, you just needto get the gospel out there so that
people will believe. And you don't. Don't listen to those you know,
doubts, those thoughts, because that'sall that they are, and you could
(24:36):
reach just one person who really needsto hear the gospel. Amen. And
another big fear that Satan uses againstbelievers is the fact that you could lose
your salvation. That's a very powerfulone. You know, Listen, he
knows, he knows we're gonna sin. He already knows that he's been witnessing
human race since the beginning, andhe knows that we every generation or filled
(25:00):
with sinners. Right, so helooks at that and he plays on that,
and then he comes into your earand he talks and says, hey,
how can God forgive you for thatthing you just did. You know
you are you even saved? Youknow, like, you know, are
you sure that that prayer you prayed, you know, on your knees.
Are you sure that was right?You know? And so and he also
(25:22):
accuses us before the Father. Youknow that too. He's the accuser of
the breath. So which brings usto number four manipulation. All right,
so this one is akin to witchcraft. Right, You'll have people that Satan
sends in your life that try tomanipulate the situation where it makes you feel
(25:45):
bad for doing the right thing,or it makes you feel, you know,
ugly about standing up for truth.What do you think, sis Terrettie,
Well, I was just thinking whiley'all were, while y'all were discussing,
that was what I see within Christendom, we're talking about, within the
walls of Christianity, that men andwomen have a greater fear of man than
(26:10):
they do of God. And sowhen we you know, we're more concerned
about what they think of us thanwhat God thinks of us. And you
know, I have to constantly remindmyself if I'm right in the eyes of
the Lord, that's all that matters. That's the most important thing, you
know. I mean, I don'tcare if people think I'm crazy or I'm
(26:32):
I'm you know, just really strangematters. Not I'm right with the Lord.
All is good. So the manipulationcomes in when you start focusing again,
like Brother Lewis said, focus onyourself. You know, if you
if you keep your eyes on theLord, you are less likely to allow
(26:52):
yourself to be manipulated by deceptive teachingsor the twisting of scripture of context or
whatever. And again you go backto God's words and you learn. You
learn that scripture interpret scripture. Mandoes not interpret scripture. God does.
And if you understand those basic preceptsabout studying scripture contextually, you will be
(27:21):
enabled. You will have the understandingthat if you do run into someone or
something that's trying to manipulate you intoaccepting false teachings or to a study in
scripture, you will immediately get ared flat immediately. So you have to
understand, you do have to understandthe way the enemy works, but you
got to know the genuine to knowthe counterfeit. That's right, Amen,
(27:45):
and brother Lewis, you know we'vehad we have examples in the Word of
God, of Satan's daughters manipulating kingslike Jezebel and like Herodias, Herodias with
you know, herod And how hehad the daughter okay, dance seductively in
front of him and then said,I'll give you up to half of my
kingdom. But the wife says,now want John the Baptists head on a
(28:10):
platter. They he felt for themanipulation. And these four women probably didn't
know it at the time, butthey were seduced by Satan. They were
actually doing Satan's work, right,Uh yeah. And he was so heard,
was so filled with lust with thatyoung girl. And I'm sure that
(28:33):
whatever she was wearing, she wasshowing every almost everything, and he fell
for it, and and and andSatan uses in our case, okay,
in my case, uh wamen.I remember being in church and sitting in
the back of the controls, andI mean, you know, I looked
through you know, the middle aisle. I can see the altar and as
(28:56):
I look and and and this ismen, that Christian men that tells you
that this doesn't happen. They're lyingto themselves. They're lying to you.
As I'm looking at the computer.My eye catches something and I lift my
head up and there's this woman.And I remember saying, in the green
dress very tight, you know,walking and moving the way that you know
(29:18):
some women move, and you know, you kind of have to catch yourself.
And I know said it must besome someone new in church, you
know that doesn't understand this. Afterthe service, I saw that same person
and it was one of the leadersin the church. And and and you're
saying, you know, why wouldshe dress that way? Well, because
(29:41):
Satan put in her mind while shewas Women dressed that way because they know
they look good dressing that way.And Satan uses even people in churches,
uh to to make you take takeyour mind off of God. And and
it's all manipulation. Like you said, past manipulate their congregation a lot of
(30:03):
times with the typing, especially themusic, and the music gets you going
and you your hairs stand up,and you know, after all of that,
now now it's something to take yourmoney out of your pocket and give
it to him. Manipulation. It'sGod will never manipulate anybody into doing anything.
He gives us free will. Itis Satan and those who follow him
(30:26):
that will try to manipulate you intothinking things that are not right or doing
things that are not right in theeyes of God. I say a mental
everything you just said, man,because I I know, Uh, we're
talking about some of these churches.They have Jezza bells in there, man,
like you know, they're they're they'redressed like they're going to the nightclub.
You know, the Bible says,you know, they're supposed to be
(30:47):
dressing modestly. You know, listen, women are powerful. We're not saying
they're not. Women are powerful inthat in their way. Men are powerful
in our way, but their powerover men is strong. I mean it's
wrong and we you know, Ithink Cisterati mentioned this last week. You
(31:07):
know, we gotta be ready andwomen, please do not use your feminine
wiles. Okay, don't do thatto get your way. You may you
may get your way now, butyou're gonna have the answer to God and
you can't manipulate him. Okay,So you know, but yeah, brother,
I agree with you, and Sammy, you don't even with like like
(31:32):
Lewis was saying, with the pastorsand stuff. You know, they like
to put guilt trips. I remember, you know, Uh, pastor at
Trinity Church. There was you know, oh, if you guys are not
volunteering here at the church, thenyou're not doing much Like what wait a
minute, you know, and that'sa way for them to get free labor,
(31:52):
you know what I mean under theguys and the ministry. You know
what I'm saying. So when youthink about that, isn't manipulation being preached
the lot or use a lot inthese tractors, manipulation is definitely being used
a lot because I mean, let'sjust use the tithing as an example.
They're like, if you aren't tithing, you're robbing from God. You know,
you're being greedy, you're being selfish, you aren't giving God what he's
(32:16):
owed. And that is manipulation oneon one, because they want to make
you feel guilty so that you'll dowhat they want you to do. They
want your money, so if theymake you feel guilty about not giving it,
then you'll be like, oh,well this is a sin I was
I was committing. I should Ishould tithe now, So then that's how
(32:37):
they get you. Yeah, Imean, listen, guys, manipulation is
a strong weapon as well. It'snot as strong as you know, temptation
or you know, pride or youknow, but it's up there. It's
up there, all right. Thenumber five is another one that kind of
tags along with the manipulation is thetwisting of God's word. Okay, the
(32:58):
subtle twisting of God's world word.Okay. An example, you know,
they you know, the name ofclaiming. People say, you know,
we can speak things into existence,right, because God is spoken into existence.
So and they go back to theytake us back to Genesis and they
say, God said and then hesaw. God said, and then he
(33:20):
saw, so we can say andwe will see. And they're forgetting something.
The emphasis is not on God's said. It should be on the fact
that it was God who said it, okay, you know, not the
fact that someone has said something inthe magically something happened. No, it
was because he's God. You know, That's why he could do that.
He's the creator. We are not, sister Addie. I mean we see
(33:43):
a lot of the twisting of God'sword in modern churches today, know me,
yes, we certainly do. Infact, three of us came out
of an institution who is who was? Who was it? That was established
on the twisting of God's word,not just the twisting of it, but
the usurping of it and the aggregatingof it. You know, I could,
(34:06):
I could say a lot more ofit, but they are the twisting
of God. If that's where itall begins. Is when they take they'll
say, well, you know theBible says, and they will twist it
until it squeals to make it saywhat they wanted to say. And it
goes back to manipulation. Yep,that's all that's ever. And then of
(34:28):
course that's rooted in pride. Itall goes back to pride. So yes,
if you again, you, ifyou know biblically contextually God's words,
you will have red flags when peopletwist the scripture to say, oh,
this is what the Scripture says,Well the Holy stidit living inside and you
will say, oh, I don'tthink so, that is not at all
(34:49):
what it needs. You know,I hate it. You know, I
talked to the TV because they're allsecular politicians who are quoting scripture, and
I look at parentis and I'll say, that's not that's out of context,
that is not correct, and theybest to be Christian, but they're using
it as a platform for a politicalunderstanding, and it looks it's completely wrong,
(35:10):
but that happens in a manipulative wayin so many areas of Christianity today.
It just absolutely blows your mind.But that's where it is. That's
definitely and that you see, itgoes back to Satan in Genesis three five.
He was the originator of the twisting. Everyone one who does it has
(35:35):
learned from him. You know what, sister Addie, you made a good
point. All of these sins connect, they go right back to find and
selfishness and all of this, youknow, you know, layers, and
it's like a spider's web, youknow. For the Lewist, I mean
Calvinism for example. Okay, theytwist the scriptures, you know. And
(35:57):
you know, we have this jokethat Adam was the first Calvinist because he
blamed God instead of himself. Hesaid, he said, God, it
was the woman you gave me.So he was the first Calvinist. No,
you know, we make a jestof it, but it's a serious
thing because they were saying that Godis the cause of all evil. Matter
(36:20):
of fact, they're not even they'reblaming themselves at all. They're not wrong
for anything, because what they sayis God causes evil. The rapist that
raped the girl, it was Godwho made the rapist rape the girl.
You see how wicked this is.What do you guys say about this,
Well, they serve a wicked Godbecause their God creates some to be saved
(36:45):
and creates others to suffering. Hell, that's not a loving God. And
they go back to a scripture thatsays that you know, uh, he
predestined them, you know, Andwhat he's saying is that before the foundation
of the world, of the universeof anything, God knew who was going
to be saved, and not becausehe made it. So it's because he
(37:06):
gets the future. I mean,people don't realize that for God, all
this has already happened. You know, he's seen it all. He's just
waiting for the time to go marchon to where you know, Jesus comes
and gets his church and you know, the tribulation and everything, so he
can end everything that started. DisobedienceI started back in the garden of Eden.
(37:31):
But we served a very loving,merciful God, and you know,
even after we disobeyed him, youknow, he just made a way for
us to be with him in eternity. It is evil to actually think that
God created evil. Now, hecreated beings like Lucifer, who became evil
(37:52):
out of pride, and he createdus and gave us the free will.
And that's why we disobey him becauseone we choose to It doesn't mean that
he's responsible for it. He justgave us the opportunity to choose him or
choose Satan. Again, it's aloving, merciful God and he has done
(38:15):
everything. And when I say everything, everything for us a man. And
you know, predestination of the scripturethat you quoted there that they like to,
you know, say and use againstus is uh. You know,
they they fail to understand what it'stalking about. It's talking about the entire
human race being predestined for the chanceof salvation. Right, That's what it
(38:37):
means. Before the foundations of theworld, God knew we were gonna send
and the fall and everything, andhe provided Jesus from the foundations of the
world. So the human race ispredestined. Now, because the human race
is predestined, it doesn't mean thatGod overrides free will, you know,
because in that chance of salvation,you still have to choose. Okay,
(39:00):
But the fact is angels didn't havethat predestination. Uh you know benefit Angels
can't be redeemed. Human beings canbe redeemed. And this is where people
they fail to understand that. Theykind of go along with the Calvin and
say, yeah, well, youknow the reason I stole money from that
bank is because you know, Godmade me do it. I mean,
(39:22):
if you think about it, that'sjust adding to your sin, you know
what I'm saying, say me,I mean, you know, the twisting
of God's word is a very dangerousthing. I know, I know,
like you know, some versions ofthe Bible they say, you know,
little different words to you know,whatever, update the words or whatever.
But there's some Bibles out there,right, like the Message and others I
(39:45):
don't even call them Message Bibles,Yes, and they twist God's word left
and right. Don't think. Yeah, I mean I when I became a
Christian, I use the NIV myChristian school wanted us to use, and
they take verses out of the Bible, which is crazy, like they just
(40:06):
take scripture out of the Bible.And again, I barely just become a
Christian when I started going to thisschool and we had chapel every Wednesday,
and one of our speakers said that, oh, once you become a Christian,
you just will stop sinning because Idon't sin anymore. And here I
am a babe in the Lord andI'm just sitting there and I'm like,
(40:29):
well, that's not right because Istill sin. You know. That was
like I guess my probably like myfirst red flag as a babe in the
Lord, and I, you know, got out of school and I talked
to my mom. I was like, Mom, this is what the you
know, speaker said, and she'slike, well, Sam, She's like,
do I still sin? And Iwas like yeah, and she's like,
(40:52):
yeah, we still sits. Let'swe're safe. But it's you don't
know, like what twisting of scripturea young Christian could hear and then latch
onto it because they don't know anybetter, right Blake. Twisting of scripture
(41:12):
is one of the most dangerous thingsfor young believers because they're still learning.
We don't know anything, we onlyknow the Gospel. So yeah, it's
one of the most dangerous things becauseit can lead that babe and the Lord
into all sorts of false teachings,right amen. I mean you know that
is one of the attacks, unfortunatelythat that are successful in our Unfortunately,
(41:38):
I say, because too many peopleare believing these these uh twist scripture twisters.
All right, we'll go through thenext uh five, four or whatever
really quick. All right, Thenext one is oppression. Okay, now,
oppression. You know this happens toChristians. If you if you're a
Christian, you will be oppressed.You will feel like like the walls are
(42:04):
closing in around you, that everybodyis against you. You will feel oppressed.
Problems will come. But again,these problems will not overwhelm you if
you're in the Lord exactly right,and when you are and this, you
know, there's legitimate times where youare absolutely being oppressed. But the worst
thing you can do is take youreyes off of the Lord. You gotta
(42:27):
keep because you know, you know, we we have a tendency to put
our eyes on self. Oh forfeitableme, Look what's going on? You
know I didn't bring this on myselfall of this, Well, no,
you probably did not. You know, sometimes it is are doing, but
sometimes it's not. But what happens. The reason why we weaken or we
start walking in fear is because wehave taken our eyes off of the Lord.
(42:52):
That's the main thing. That's whatI've learned in my thirty eight years
of walking with the Lord. Andwhen you take your eyes off of the
Lord, you forget to go tohis words because it's all about you are
the circumstances around you. So Iwould just say, keep your eyes on
the Lord. I know it's noteasy, but do it anyway, make
(43:13):
yourself do it, and then theoppression you will you will not walk in
fear. It doesn't mean the oppressionmight not still be there, but you
will have your eyes on the onewho can help you through it. He
meant. And you know, we'rejust gonna move on to the next one
with you. Lewis possession and thisis something that happens. And by the
(43:34):
way, this also attaches to scripturetwisting. I'll tell you why. A
lot of so called exorcist today,Bob Larson and others, they believe that
Christians can be possessed. Even GregLocke is now teaching that Christians can be
possessed. Now, brother, whatdo you think about that? Well,
I'm gonna read first Samuel sixteen fourteen, and it says, but the spirit
(43:59):
of the Lord depart from Saul,and an evil spirit from the Lord trouble
him. And saul servants said,unto him. Behold now an evil spirit
from God troubled, troubled Now.The reason that the evil spirit was able
to trouble Saul is because God tookhis protection away from Saul. Now we
know that Paul talks about turning peopleover to Satan for their salvation. But
(44:22):
no, you cannot be possessed.And I'm gonna go to the first John
four four and it says you areof God little children and have overcome them,
because greater is see that he's seeingyou than he that is in the
world. And we go back toa few weeks ago when that means that
a demon has to tell God leavethis body because I'm in charge now,
(44:45):
and that doesn't happen. First Johnfive eighteen says, we know that whosoever
is born of God's in it not. But he that is begotten of God
keep it himself. And that wickedone touches him not. When you're a
of God, he cannot touch you. You cannot be possessed. You can't
have the God and and and andSatan living inside of you. At the
(45:07):
same time, but it's alive becauseit goes back to manipulation. You know,
the Catholic churches is a lot,but it's only to keep people focused
on man other than rather than God. Uh. And no, uh,
you know Christian said this in thebeginning. Christians cannot lose their salvation.
(45:30):
Christians cannot be possessed man. Andyou know what bringing up Saul again,
Uh, he's a perfect example ofof uh, the grace of God.
People think that U Saul was lost. He wasn't lost. Where the scriptures
that he says, he would sayhe was lost. He was just impatient
(45:53):
and didn't want to wait on theLord again, you know, because the
Lord was not talking to him asa king anymore. He didn't he didn't
want to. He didn't want towait, and so he went to a
witch, the witch of Endor.So his punishment was to fall on his
own sort. The Lord says thenext day, you you know, what's
his name, Samuel. The firsttime that the Lord allowed a spirit to
(46:15):
come out of Paradise Abraham's Bosom tosay, hey, Saul, tomorrow you
and your kids are gonna be withme. Now then that you're there were
going to be with Samuel, showedthat they were saved because Samuel, unless
Samuel was lost, which we knowhe wasn't. You know, he said,
hey, you will be with metomorrow. Okay. So I just
(46:38):
meant that the punishment for Saul wasa shortened life. You know, sometimes
the Lord will cut our life shortdown here, if we're no longer of
use. You know, he'd ratherhave you up there and you know,
enjoying you up there than have youdown here just being you know, tempted
and sinning constantly and all that.So some times that's what the Lord does.
(47:01):
He brings, you know, earlydeath on his children, just like
two and a Nisasapara in the Bookof Fas. I believe they were saved,
they were children, but you knowthey got taken out early. Okay,
So you know, and I thinkthat was the Holy Spirit just letting
us know, like, hey,God is serious about sin. He loves
(47:22):
you and all, but he's stillseri uh. Sammy number eight is Satan
and his demons using others to defameyour character. Now we've all experienced this
where people will call us pharisees,unbelievers, are unloving, or whatever whatever
(47:43):
they could think of because we arestanding for the truth of God's word.
What do you think, Yeah,I mean, I think a lot of
the time when you're standing on thetruth of God's word and you're warning people
about false teachers, they'll call youa pharisee or legalistic, even though you
aren't legalistic. You're just like,I'm literally just reading. I'm just telling
(48:04):
you what the Bible says. AndI mean when people say those things too,
it does hurt because you're like,I'm not like that, I'm just
trying to help you, like you'reyou know, you have like their best
interests at hurt. And then theyjust turn around and accuse you, and
it kind of feels like, youknow, you're being punched in the face
and you're like, okay, butyou know, you just have to stand
(48:28):
on the God's word that you aren'tthat way and you're just doing what you
were supposed to do because you weredoing what God said to do. Hey
man, and you know you kindof mentioned number nine already because we'll just
continue with that false accusation, sisterAttie. That's another attack of the enemy
where they falsey. You know what'samazing, I was falsely accused when I
(48:52):
first got saved at a church andI, you know, and this lady
out of nowhere, who I've nevermet in my life, says, oh
that I touched her, never mether in my life. And I'm looking
at my wife like, who whois this lady? What was she talking
about? And so I, youknow, I would go to the go
to the pastor let him know,Hey, this is what this lady is,
(49:13):
you know, said to me.And uh. Turns out she had
to apologize to me because she wasjust saying that to make her husband jealous,
who was an associate pastor in thatchurch. All of this came out
in here because my wife wanted tolike, you know, jump into the
flesh real quick or you know.Uh and uh and and so I said,
(49:36):
honey, I said no, no, no, I said, the
Lord's gonna defend me. This isthe Lord's gonna defend me, because I'm
I'm you know. And out thefollowing week, sure enough, she came
crying and apologizing, you know,and I'm like, hey, you're forgiving.
It's all good. Don't worry aboutit. Just you know, I
just know that, you know,you could have caused some turmoil if my
(49:58):
wife was didn't believe in me.She could have thought so you could have
caused doubts and things like that,and she apologized profusely and everything. But
yeah, it just false accusation,Sisteriety. That's a big problem, isn't
it. That is a that isa huge problem. And I know that
all of us here, to onedegree or another have experienced that, whether
it's it's it's someone that we werearound physically or on social media. We've
(50:25):
seen that. That's that's happened overthe years. And the one thing you
see, I'm like with your likewith your wife, chris My. When
I first got saved, my immediatereaction was attacked, you know, because
that's just was my nature, mypersonality. But I as I've grown over
the over the years, praise Godthat I have learned that if if I
(50:51):
am innocent, I don't need tosay a thing because God will take care
of it. And look, ifyou ask me, you know, somebody
asked me a question, I'll answerit. But I don't have to go
around defending myself when I am innocent. So when people that call I've have
been called a basher, I've beencalled or a Roman Catholic hater. I've
(51:15):
been called all of those things.I'm sure y'all have to. I just
do not say a word because whyBecause I know I am right in the
eyes of my heavenly Father, andthat is the most important thing to me.
I don't care what you think tome. I know that I'm right
with the Lord, and that's what'simportant. Amen. And if God be
(51:37):
for you, who can be aamen? You know? You know I've
experienced this. Yeah, I knowyou guys have experienced this. And sometimes
we try to fight a battle thatwe shouldn't be fighting, you know.
You know, I remember telling mywife sometime ago, I'm like, listen,
you know, I don't get paidenough to worry about provision. I
don't get paid enough to worry aboutwhat ifs. That's my father. My
(52:02):
father has my job. Man,My Davis has to do his will down
here. He'll take care of allthat other stuff that sometimes we worry about,
you know. And uh, it'sjust it's a learning, it's a
lesson, a lesson, you know, we're learning. And Brother lewis the
last one man and this is avery powerful attack. Satan loves to keep
(52:22):
us from prayer and also keep theungodly in the dark by keeping the Gospel
away from them, right. Yeah. And the part about keeping us away
from prayer is that sometimes we wedisobey God and we feel so bad that
we can't go to him. Wefeel that, you know, He's not
(52:43):
gonna forgive me this time, andthis is one of those attacks by by
Satan. And and when when thatis happening, that is when God wants
you to go to him. Okay, you know we confess our our our
sins not for God's benefit but forour own. Because it's like a bird
(53:06):
that God wants to lift it fromyou and he's telling you I have forgiven
you for this. And sometimes thingswill happen where like you said, you
know you want to share the Gospelwith someone, and and Seton will go
out of his way for you notto do that. Last week, Chris,
(53:27):
you talked about the encounter you hadsomeone who serves Satan and he,
like he said, his master toldhim to walk away from you because he
was afraid that you speaking the Gospelto him would make him put his faith
in Jesus Christ. So prayer andyes, trying to keep you from preaching
(53:49):
the gospel to attack those two things. Amen. Amen, man, and
uh, A lot of us havedealt with that, and you're talking about
I understand perfectly. Well. Youknow if I sin or when I sin
and I'm going to the you know, it's like your initial instinct is to
run away because love what shame?Yes, I satan used that shame factor.
(54:15):
And then what you said again,Lewis it brings clarity to everything.
When you were lost, when youwere in the world. It says,
while we were yet sinners, Christdied for us. He is not surprised
about any sin we will commit.He knew every sin we would commit before
he even saved us. But yeah, he still saved us, right like,
(54:37):
So you know that tells you youdon't have to be ashamed to go
before the Lord. You just gobefore the Lord. You know. I
like what he said in the scriptureswhere it says Peter was saying how many
how many times must say forgive somebody? Lord? He's like seventy times seven,
And then another passage there says Iif a brother sins against you seven
times in a day, and seventimes in a day comes back and repent,
(55:00):
you will forgive him, all right. It could be the same sin.
Think about it. God didn't specify. He just said in general,
because we are forgiven that way,God doesn't hold anything over our head.
Now you know, I want togo into the last two Well, the
last thing here, any one thinghere? What is our defense against these
(55:21):
attacks? You know all of usare gonna have little say. So here
now I'm gonna read Second Corinthians tenfour and five, and Sam, I
guess you could read a Fijian sixten through eighteen. All right, So
Second Corinthians ten, verse four saysthis, for the weapons of our warfare
are not carnal, but mighty throughGod, to the pulling down of strongholds,
(55:45):
casting down imaginations and every high thingthat exalteth itself against the knowledge of
God, and bringing into captivity everythought to the obedience of Christ. Now
saying me, I want to goahead and read six Ephesian ten through eighteen,
and it will discuss this all.Okay. Finally, my brethren,
(56:07):
be strong in the Lord and inthe power of His might. Put on
the whole armor of God, thatye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil. For awrestle not against flesh and bud, but
against principalities, against powers, againstthe rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness and high places.Wherefore, take unto you the whole
(56:27):
armor of God, that ye maybe able to withstand in the evil day.
And having done all to stand,stand therefore having your loins skirt about
with truth, and having on thebreastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod
with the preparation of the Gospel ofPeace. Above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall beable to quench all the fiery darts of
(56:49):
the wicked. And take the helmetof salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the Word of God,praying always with all prayer and suppligation
in the Spirit, watching therefore orthere unto with all the severance and suppligation
for all saints. Okay, okay, So sister Addie, I mean this
is talking about the armor God,right, and uh, this is basically
(57:13):
saying to say, saturated in God'sword. Right. Absolutely, you have
to make it your priority. Andthen it goes back to you know when
we were were we were talking aboutthe distractions you goot, yeah, we
cannot we have to listen. Iit took me several years as a new
Christian to understand what the feeling ofthe Holy Spirit meant. Okay, didn't
(57:36):
mean all of these experiential things thatpeople see in church and all that kind
of stuff. It meant daily gettingup consciously making a decision that I was
going to be led by the HolySpirit daily. How do you do that?
You go to God's words. Howdo you get to know God better?
You go to God's word? Thatis the most you know. He
(58:00):
left us a book for a reason, because it is his book to us,
you know it is. It isGod's book to man so that man
can know who he is. Andwhen you the more you find out about
him, once you get biblically bornagain, the more you find out about
him, the more your faith growsin Him, not in yourself, not
(58:21):
in your surroundings, but in Him. And that is, in my opinion,
this is the most important thing.And once you get involved and get
into God's words, You're gonna understandeverything that that encompasses about being led and
prompted by the Holy Spirit daily.Because the Holy Spirit is our teacher of
(58:42):
truth. So we have a textbookthat is our teacher of truth. And
that's what we need to do.And I think, unfortunately, I say
I say this with heaviness of heart, the majority of people within Christendom,
those who are genuinely say or ankledeep in their sanctification because they have never
(59:06):
been pro active. You have tobe. It's not osmosis. You don't
put your your your Bible under yourpillow and you learn that way. You
have to proactively learn God's word andthat's how you grow in Christ and you
take on that armor from that pointand then you you you understand, oh,
(59:27):
that's how I'm supposed to handle this, and this is what I'm supposed
to think about that. It justmakes it so much easier. Amen.
And you know it's funny because youknow, you back up what the Word
says. You know, study toshow yourself approved unto God that needs not
to be ashamed. And you know, unfortunately there's a lot of anemic Christians
out there, Yes, you knowa lot of Christians that are malnourished,
(59:49):
right, and they're weak, youknow they're weak because of it. So
yeah, and prayer as well,prayer and study of God's word, you
know those two go hand and hand, all right, So we come to
the best part of the program now, and we're gonna start with Brother Lewis.
Listen, there are people watching.They've been following us this whole series
and probably some serious before this one, and now they're they're asking, you
know, what must I do tobe saved? So is it complicated or
(01:00:14):
what? Uh? No, youknow, when I was reading How Satan
Beguiled Eve it ends and saying that, you know, the simplicity that is
in Christ, simplice. It isnot complicated. Is understanding who you are,
(01:00:34):
Understanding who he is. We're sinners, He's a savior. It's that
simple. And we go back tothe thief on the cross. He didn't
have to do anything, he didn'thave to do work. See, all
he had to do was believed inthe one that was able to save him.
And that's what we have to do. Just believe in Jesus Christ,
believe in his work on the cross, and believe that he did die for
(01:00:59):
our sins and to pay for thesins that we were supposed to pay for.
So we are free of that todaybecause he already did that for us.
So all we have and we arefree now to choose him and follow
him. And put our faith inhim. Amen, Sammy. To be
saved, you don't have to doanything, because there's a thing you could
(01:01:21):
do to earn salvation. All youhave to do is realize that you're a
sinner. Believe that Christ died foryour sins, was buried and rose again.
And that's all you have to believe, and is just believe interest in
him, Amen, sister Addie.Yes. And when Lewis brought up the
thief on the cross, what didhe What was the first he acknowledged that
(01:01:43):
he was a sinner. Jesus wasnot a sinner, and he didn't Jesus
did not deserve to die the waythat he was dying, you know.
But the but the thief on thecross admitted that he was a sinner.
The other thief did not, buthe did. So that is the beginning
of the simplicity of the gospel.Because if you don't think you're a sinner,
(01:02:05):
if you think you're a good person, like psychology teaches you, you
know, then you don't need asavior in your opinion. So if you're
watching this, I don't care howgood a person you are, how good
you think you are. None ofus are good in the sight of a
holy God. So please please recalibrateand consider yourself a sinner in need to
(01:02:30):
be savior, because that's what weall are, all of us, from
the beginning of time to the endof time. We are all sinners in
need of a savior. Jesus Christis that one and only savior. He
finished it, nothing left to bedone. As Sam said, can't can't
merit it, can't earn it,none of that, because if you could,
then you could unearn it. Andthat's what's important about being when if
(01:02:53):
you're genuinely saved, you will alwaysbe saved because God is the one who
owes you. You don't hold here. So it's important I pray because this
is what really opened my eyes whenI got biblically saved, is that I
was a sinner. Jesus Christ dideverything once for all. That's it.
(01:03:15):
That's that you just received that andunderstand it and then growing your faith once
you get born again at this Amen. You know, guys, we say
this, We do this every weekbecause we love you guys. You know,
we all believe that we're living inthe last of the last days,
right like we believe this to theCore just looking at mean sister and Nattie
(01:03:37):
and I was were talking off cameratoday about how you know things are just
going at breakneck speeds. All thingsare converging, and you know Rome and
the Catholic Church absorbing everything, andyou know, borders being taken down and
all of this to make room forthe one World government. It's just you
know, Israel, you know,being persecuted back in the land, and
(01:04:00):
everything that Bible property says will happenat the in the end days are happening
in our day. Okay, theseare the last of the last day.
So we want you guys to reallythink about your eternal salvation and or your
eternal damnation. Those are your twooptions. Those are your two options.
(01:04:23):
And you know Satan has the sameproblem God has. You know what that
is. It's human will, humanwill. You know, we can reject
God or we can reject Satan acceptGod. It's all dependent on our will
power here because God gave us freewill, so we got to choose choose
(01:04:45):
Christ. Okay, he's already didthe hard part, like Lewis said,
he did everything for us, buthe's not going to force salvation on us.
We have to receive it. Wehave to say, Lord, I'm
a sinner. I believe you.I believe that I'm guilty. I believe
that I'm going to hell. Ibelieve this, and I believe that you
are the only savior, the onlygod Man, the one that came to
(01:05:08):
take my place of punishment. Ibelieve you did that for me. Lord.
That's all you have to say,and you say it. You don't
have to have the perfect words.Okay Again, Lewis brought up the thief
from across Again. He didn't,you know, have the sinner's prayer laid
out before him and saying the rightListen, you may not know the right
words. It's the heart that Godis looking at. The thief said,
(01:05:30):
remember me when you come into yourkingdom. That's all he said. But
the fact that he said it showedhis heart. It showed that, Hey,
I believe who you say you are, Lord Jesus. I'm a sinner.
I deserve this. Matter of fact. He told the other thief,
Hey, we deserve to die.But this man has none nothing wrong.
So his he was already born againand probably didn't realize it. You know,
(01:05:56):
that's why the Lord said, todayyou're gonna be with paradise because you
know, look at how you talkingright now, you know, But listen,
we love you guys, We thankyou for joining us. I don't
know what our topic is going tobe next week, but well we'll think
