… now is the judgment Jesus said now is the judgment of this world now the ruler of this world will be cast out reference to Satan you know people who say that they can't believe in your God because there's so much evil in the world they'll never become a Christian because of all the evil they're focused on the wrong God this God on the screen is a lower case g Adam and Eve handed over to Lucifer the powers that be and he's been wreaking havoc ever since but Christ is coming back he's going to undo all that and I think C.S. Lewis is the one who says when somebody asks why doesn't God do something about it C.S. Lewis said he is doing something about it Right now, he has landed, the Lord has landed with enemy forces to take back what was captured. He said, right now, the Lord is working in this battle through you and I. But there's a day coming when the king returns and settles that score and gives the justice and the judgment to Satan. …
… Now, another now. Now is the judgment of this world. Now will the ruler of this world be cast out. Paul's going to call Satan the god of this world, the prince of the power of the air. And he will be decisively unseated as ruler of this world. And Jesus will experience the joy of unseating him. It's amazing to think about this Driving Jesus to the cross In his constellation of joys This victory This conquest Over Satan That he would be the father's Chosen instrument to disarm The rulers and authorities And put them to open shame By triumphing over them How? Through the tree of shame It's amazing God in his strange providence in his peculiar glory uses the shame of the cross as the instrument that will come back and shame Satan and his demonic powers Colossians 2 verse 15 and this gave Jesus joy and let me ask you very practically does this give you joy? And when you come to moments in your life of obstacle, little tiny obstacles, none of us are called to the obstacle of the cross in the way Jesus was. …
… spiritual supernatural forces are we hearing this are we hearing jesus he tells us the devil is the ruler of this world in john 12 31 god tells us he is the little g god of this world in second corinthians 4 4 first john 5 19 god tells us the whole world lies in the power of the evil one the Bible doesn't say that about you or me God says this about the one who's coming after you and me see his stranglehold on this world in sin think about wicked evil schemes like I saw in Southeast Asia recently where women and children are being trafficked for incomprehensible sexual exploitation to meet the demand for pornography in millions of people in countries like ours, including multitudes of professing Christians who are gorging their flesh at their expense as Satan has a hold on their minds. And that's on top of millions of other evils. Our adversary in this spiritual war is indescribably strong. But truth number four, our ally in this war is infinitely stronger so now now to the commands in verse 10 so we got the ground so what is god saying to us finally be strong in the lord and in the strength of his mine. You cannot fight this war alone. And you don't have to. You can only fight it in the strength and the might of the Lord. So the language here is so amazing on a couple different levels. So one, the verb here is actually passive. It means it's literally be strengthened by someone else. …
… THEM TO YOU RATHER QUICKLY. BUT FIRST OF ALL, PUT DOWN THIS, the world has a prince, a prince. Who is the prince of this world? Put this scripture down. John chapter 12, verses 31 and 32. Jesus is facing the cross, and this is what Jesus said, Now is the judgment of this world, and now shall the prince of this world be cast out. THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.

AND THEN PUT THIS SCRIPTURE DOWN, JOHN 14 AND VERSE 30, JESUS SAID, HEREAFTER I WILL NOT TALK MUCH WITH YOU, FOR THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD COMETH AND HATH NOTHING IN ME. THAT HATH NOTHING IN ME." THAT IS, HA, THERE'S NOTHING THAT SATAN COULD ACCUSE JESUS OF. AH, THERE'S NO, AH, TEMPTATION THAT, AH, SATAN COULD ALLURE JESUS WITH. JESUS HAD NO ITCH THE DEVIL COULD SCRATCH. JESUS HAD NO WRONG THE DEVIL COULD ACCUSE. THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD COMETH AND HATH NOTHING IN ME. AND THEN JESUS SPOKE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WOULD COME AND BRING JUDGMENT, AND PUT THIS SCRIPTURE DOWN. IN JOHN CHAPTER 16 VERSE 11, HE SAYS, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL CONVICT OF JUDGMENT BECAUSE THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD IS JUDGED. AND IN THESE FEW CHAPTERS, JESUS HAS SPOKEN THREE TIMES OF THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD. WHO IS THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD? HIS NAME IS SATAN. NOW JOHN, WHO WROTE THE GOSPEL OF JOHN, ALSO WROTE THE EPISTLES OF JOHN. AND IN FIRST JOHN CHAPTER …
