Into The Dark Realm – Part 4

0:00 We ask, Lord God, that the topic that we've been covering and what we're looking at tonight, I pray that you somehow supernaturally caused me to get through these notes. Lord, I love every one of these verses. I love every one of these arguments from your word. We need to hear these things. But Lord, frankly, I'm not a good time manager because I need to finish this, Lord, but the clock is ticking, and I pray that we would somehow be blessed by you, that we would now acquire your word from off the page and into our lives. We pray in Jesus' name and all God's people said, amen. You may be seated, but do grab your Bibles as we get into part four of this series that we're in. Number one, if you're new, we're talking about the Applied Series. The Applied Series is taking very, very powerful doctrines of the Bible and applying them to our lives in a very understandable way, which is how the Bible is given to us by God.

0:58 God gives us the Bible. It's not a mystery. In fact, the Bible tells us in 1 John that God has given us the Holy Spirit to be the one who is our teacher. He has given us what the scripture calls the anointing. It's a reference to the Holy Spirit being your Bible teacher. Don't you think that's great? I love that. Ultimately, the Holy Spirit is your Bible teacher. In fact, whatever I teach, the Holy Spirit will cause an alarm to go off in your mind if I say something that's not biblical. You'll be able to come up to me afterwards and say, wait a minute, you said this or you said that. That's not in the Bible. How will you know that? Because the Holy Spirit will bring the word of God to your awareness, to your attention. So what we want to do is operate in the fact that we teach not only the full counsel of God, but we do what the Bible says, and that is divide the word accurately.

1:55 Looking at the Bible for what it says. So we've been looking at this series, part four tonight, titled Into the Dark Realm. We're talking about the rise of demonic activity, which is nothing new at all. Since the Garden of Eden, Satan has had his plan going. But all of this is under that theme verse of John 14, 29, by the words of Jesus himself, who said, I now have come, or I should say, And now I have told you before it comes that when it does come to pass, he's talking prophecy, you may believe. In other words, God's got the ability to tell you about the future of things in advance. The Book of Mormon doesn't do this. The Koran doesn't do this. The Tibetan books, they don't do it. Doesn't matter what other religious writings there are, none of them do it. None of them, but the Bible, the Bible alone.

2:50 But as we take this journey into the dark realm, we put on these encouraging bits of light. In John 16, verse 33, Jesus said, These things I have spoken to you, that in me, I love that, you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation. Mark that down. In the world, Christian, you're going to have difficulty. You're going to have confusion. You're going to have hardship. you're going to have wars. You're going to have battles. I love our God. He tells us the truth, not to discourage us, but to actually encourage us. He says to that, be of good cheer. Why? I have overcome the world. That's what Jesus said. You can follow me in the midst of all the battles of life. Jesus said, be of good cheer because I've overcome the world. That's the answer. is, listen, church, listen, respond.

3:45 Did Jesus die on the cross? Did Jesus rise from the dead? Then he said, be of good cheer because he's overcome the world. What's the proof? He left an empty tomb in Jerusalem and it's still empty there tonight. There's nobody in that tomb. And the Bible also tells us a bit of encouragement. In 2 Timothy 3, verse one, the Bible says, but know this, be aware, understand this, that in the last days perilous times will come. I'm glad we know that. If you didn't know that, you would think by the world around us that God must have abandoned the universe. No, no, no. Even the bad stuff tells us God is in control. So look at this Hebrew, or excuse me, look at the Greek word perilous. The word means violent. Oh my goodness, 2,000 years ago the Bible said that in the last days, violent days will come. Is that true? Difficult days will come. Hard days will come. The word means to press or to push down. You ever feel like that? Like, unexplainably sometimes you just feel like you can hardly catch your breath, that you're just being crushed by the problems and by the anxiety of this world? That's not from God. That's from the wicked one. That's from the world. That's not from God. The word means that we would be seeing times that would wear you and I out. So Jesus says, cheer up. I've overcome the world. That is the ultimate answer. One more on this before we dive in. Matthew 24 verse 11 says, and Jesus is speaking, then many false prophets will arise and deceive many. He's talking about the last days. And because lawlessness will abound. The love of many will grow cold, but he who endures to the end shall be saved. Now, technically, Matthew 24 is speaking about the tribulation period, but isn't it accurate right

5:51 now if we're seeing signs of mankind turning against mankind? Jesus said there'd be a time like that. And it's going to increase. So in our previous study, we saw that regarding going into the dark realm, we talked about what are the limits to the dark realm, the realm of Satan and his world in which he operates in. We talked about that. And the second thing we talked about was who's affected by the dark world. The answer to that is everybody, believer and unbeliever alike is affected. In Matthew chapter 6, verse 10, Jesus says, your kingdom come. Of course, you've all prayed this, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And listen, with all of the work of the enemy in the dark realm of trying to confuse your life, Christian, defeat you, whisper into your ears and into your life, you're a loser, you're some sort of a sub-Christian, you should pray more, God is very disappointed in you. That's a whopper. That's one Satan used on me a lot when I was a young Christian. Oh, is God disappointed in you? And then somebody told me a long time ago, and I wish I would have heard it sooner. Jack, how can God be disappointed in you when he never expected anything out of you? Where did he say, I need you, Jack? So can you make sure you do this really well? I can't do that. But the enemy comes to your life and says, you know, God loves those people over there, but not so much those people over there.

7:28 Satan will say to you, that's how God speaks. Satan will speak to you and say, that's God speaking to you. He'll mimic. You know where the performers got that, I don't know what they're called, I forget, but in the olden days, they'd have a little wooden man on their leg and they would have the guy whose mouth would move and the guy's talking with the voice. What's it called?

7:49 Ventriloquist, that's it. That's how, listen, that's how Satan loves to use the opportunities that he has where everything about him is wooden and false but he's got his chest puffed out and he growls. He's like a lion roaming around seeking whom he may devour. He hates your guts. Listen, God loves you. Satan hates you. And God wants you with him and Satan wants you with him. One is air conditioned. The other one is the smoking section. But Satan hates you. He would say tonight, it's not personal. I just hate all of you. That's what he would say to you. Because the actual answer is, I hate all of you because God loves you.

8:41 That's the problem with him. He can't stand it. Love, hate. God, Satan. Remarkable. But remember this, as we now get ready to dive into the third argument of this, mark this down, please. It's 2 Corinthians chapter 4. We all know it, but we need to be reminded of it, verses 3 and 4. Regarding Satan and his works against the believer and the unbeliever, listen to what he does regarding the unbeliever. But even if our gospel is veiled, the good news of Jesus, how a man can be saved, how a woman, how a boy, a girl can be saved, is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. Think that through for a moment. There are people that you and I know, they're blind to the gospel truth. They're in the state, the actual condition of perishing.

9:37 What does that mean? They're driving in a car, mindless of God, driving, and they're going right off a cliff spiritually, they're perishing. They are in the process of perishing. Are you with me? And if the gospel doesn't reach them, if they don't say yes to bringing their sins to Jesus and asking him to be their Lord and Savior, they will die in that belief. If they don't do that, they'll die in unbelief and they'll go off the cliff. This verse is saying if the gospel cannot be understood by people, it's because they're still perishing. They're in route to going off the cliff. Verse for, whose minds the God of this age has blinded. Wow. Notice little g. Satan here is called God, not a deity, but a ruler. Satan, he's a ruler. In fact, when Jesus returns in the second coming, he's going to take possession of the deed to the earth. Remember when Satan tempted Jesus and said, I'll give you all the kingdoms of the world if you'll just bow down and worship me. Guess what? That was a real temptation. How could Satan do that? Because actually he spoke the truth.

11:01 Jesus, just bow down to me and I'll give it all to you. It's in my control. And it is in his control. How did that happen? Ask Adam. Ask Eve. Think about it. is God sovereign? Absolutely. Does God use elements and situations of this world to perform and to achieve his will? Of course he does. But Satan is the one warring, not only as the ruler of this age, but notice it is Satan who has blinded them, who do not believe. You ever wonder why somebody in your life does not believe? The answer is Satan has blinded them. So you don't beat them up with the Bible. You better come to faith in Jesus right now. You better believe. Don't do that. It won't work. Pray on your knees. Stand with your hands. Cry out to God and have the Lord go to work against the demonic forces that has blinded that poor individual. And you bring in air support through prayer. You attack through prayer. They do not believe. And here's the deal. They don't believe Satan's blinded them. And here's why he does it. Lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. Satan doesn't want them to hear the truth.

12:28 He's playing for keeps. Number three, this is our study tonight. We dive into number three. What authority does Satan have within the dark realm? We're not going to be long on this, But here it is. Satan, we know, is the highest ranking spirit in God's created realm. When I say highest ranking, I should say one of them. We only know a few that are archangels. Gabriel is an archangel. Michael is an archangel. Lucifer, Satan, is an archangel. And then in Catholic theology, they've got all kinds of other names, which I don't know if you can prove that or not. but I think it's safe to say but I'm guessing there might be more than three archangels but there are ranking orders. Here's the weird thing and again I told you guys last week to do your homework but read Ezekiel chapter 28 and Isaiah chapter 14 because there you will find that when God created the angelic world in that creation he created lucifer and he was great he was amazing the bible says he was more beautiful than all other angels did you know that and he was super talented i wonder if you know this he was super talented in a particular area anybody know what it is music yeah the bible tells us in those two chapters you'll read later that he's extreme it says he's extremely beautiful more beautiful than any other angel. So don't you think, oh, Satan's got red underwear on and horns? No, I don't think he does. The Bible says he's so beautiful, and that in his body, there's the sound of music, and on his side, it says that there are pipes.

14:19 and his hands, it says in those chapters, are like tambourines. what in the world? The Bible says he was covered in perfect glory and beauty. And the Bible says he was wonderful until evil was found in his heart. And that evil, I'll ask you what his sin was. It's the ultimate. Yes, very good. It was pride. Pride.

14:52 And the Bible says when that was found out, when that was exposed. by the way he confessed it the Bible tells us that somewhere in eternity past he became jealous of God and he said I will be like God I will be greater I will be the one I'll get the worship I want the throne there's the five I wills of Satan and wow does he have authority? absolutely the Bible teaches that he has authority and throughout scripture as you read for example we don't have the time to go into it now under this particular point but him being the archangel and fallen in that state of his, he dictates how the dark realm operates. He has authority.

15:48 But remember this, and we'll move on. This should be very comforting to you. Satan will do everything he can to get you to think that he's omnipotent. Omnipotent means all-powerful. I'm going to give you one guess as to who is actually all powerful. It's God. But Satan can't stand what you believe. He hates it. He wants you to think that he's got all power. The Bible says he's the father of lies. He's not omnipotent. He's not all powerful. But he wants you to believe that he is. The other thing is, is that he's not omniscient either. Omniscient. He doesn't know everything. Don't think that Satan knows everything. He knows more than us. He's been around a long time. We do not know how long. And I think humans are pretty, probably pretty much predictable.

16:48 He's been watching humans for thousands and thousands of years. But he also knows, for example, and I'm not going to mention it because I don't want to offend somebody. Those who know will know, and those who don't need to know won't know about this. But there's a particular very famous global cult, and part of their indoctrination into their cult is that you wait for a familiar visit, and you have to have a familiar visit from a family member of the past. They will visit you in either a vision or a dream or manifestation in your room or wherever you're at and they will say to you, this particular cult is true. Believe in it. You are part of it. And this is actually a deal. Really. And people will, those that are in that group will ask one another, did you have your visitation? Have you had your visitation of a past family member?

17:44 And there are millions of people who have said they've had these visitations in that group that say, this is the right religion, all other ones are wrong. And part of it is the visitation that relative from the past, who's long been deceased, will say to them, remember Aunt Sue? Remember Betty Lou? Remember Scooby-Doo? Yeah, yeah. It's demonic, folks. It's satanic. And you say, no, wasn't that auntie? Wasn't that uncle? Wasn't that mom? Nope. It was a demonic spirit impersonating, deceiving. That's part of Satan's ways. And they'll know stuff because they knew what was going on way back then because there they were. Are you hearing me? I don't want to freak you out too much because you're going to be going to bed soon and you won't be able to go to sleep. For those of you who've practiced or come out of witchcraft or any one of those Wiccan type, even satanic stuff, you are saying, he knows this.

18:56 He knows this. Of course, it's part of the trade of the demonic realm, familiar spirits. but listen Satan will try to convince you that he knows everything feels like he knows everything seems like he knows everything he doesn't he wants you to feel like that and then the third thing we need to remember by the way these are all attributes of God not Satan is that he's not omnipresent Satan is localized he can only be in one place at one time is he a spirit being? yes can he move quickly? yes faster than the speed of light apparently but he's limited to where he's at. By the way, that's true for both holy or godly angels as well as demonic activity or demons. They're localized. Don't let Satan, don't fall. I guess what I'm saying is don't fall for the bombacity and for the scare factor of the demonic realm.

19:54 Are you hearing me? Because we have a tendency to glorify the demonic realm and make it bigger than what it really is as Christians. Look, if you're not a Christian, you need to be terrified. You have no idea how you should be terrified. But as a Christian, we are not to be terrified. We can call upon the name of Jesus in one moment. And especially if you are a child of God, my friend.

20:19 I'm sorry if this is crazy to you, but it's almost like the big giant brute walks up to a little one-year-old and takes their ice cream from them and starts to take a bite out of it. And mom might be over here in the produce section grabbing something. And that baby starts, you know that cry? It sounds like a siren.

20:42 I mean, and then that big giant guy just like turns all red and gets all nervous. You know what? That's kind of like Satan comes along. The big bad guy grabs our ice cream cone out of our hands and we go, Jesus! and I just, you call upon the name of the Lord and the Lord will respond to his kids. It's guaranteed. I like that. Be of good cheer. I have overcome the world. Number four, what authority do fallen angels have? Fallen angels, a completely separate order, I do believe strongly than demons. Fallen angels are those that, according to scripture, have in fact fallen, as the Bible says. First of all, keep this in mind. Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12 tells us, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities. I'll stop right there. Principalities is this word. That Greek word, principality, I want you to see it on the screen. It's where we get the word ark, as in archangel. It means first order of. In other words, when God was creating angels, these were the top dogs.

21:53 These were the generals. First order of or beginning of created beings of the first order in chronology, having seniority. Archangels came first. They rank number one. They've got more stripes on their sleeves, so to speak. They have greater authority. They have greater realm, greater territory. they have greater powers. Again, Michael, Gabriel, Lucifer. But fallen angels, we do not know how many there are, but we know that there's a lot. In Revelation chapter 12, verses 3 to 4 and verse 9, John says, and another angel, or excuse me, another sign appeared in heaven. Behold, a great fiery red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns and seven diadems on his heads, His tail, here it is, drew a third of the stars of heaven, swept them up, swept them away, took them with him, and threw them to the earth.

22:58 Wow. Verse 9 tells you who it is and who they are. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old called the devil and Satan. What does he do? He deceives the whole world. Church, is the world being deceived right now? have you heard somebody say that they believe in this thing or the other thing? I met somebody the other day that they believe the earth is flat. And I just couldn't take that because I've read all about Christopher Columbus's life. Did you know that's what he had to put up with? Did you know that? Christopher Columbus is walking around, Portugal and Spain and Italy, and everybody was saying,

23:42 and even the church was saying, world's flat, it's flat. Christopher Columbus, having read the Bible, said that the Lord, it says in Scripture, he hangs, you guys can leave the verse up there. I'm just totally derailing myself right in front of you. The Scripture says the Lord has hung the circumference of the earth upon nothing. Christopher Columbus read that in the Bible when he was a kid, just before, I think it was 12 years of age. and Christopher Columbus said, the world's round. And people said, you're nuts. Did you know that? They made fun of him. They mocked him. He was a joke. And he said, I'm going to get in the boat and I'm going to go. And when I leave, as I'm leaving, watch the boat get smaller.

24:36 As it gets smaller, the bottom is going to disappear first and the mass, the top, is going to disappear last because I'm going to go like this. and people thought it was nuts Christopher Columbus said God told him from the Bible using a Bible verse the earth was round isn't it interesting today we're all back at it again world's flat it's flat look I don't know what to tell you but I think hopefully you're joking we're all hoping by the way all your family members are hoping you're joking because you don't get enough attention so you're making that stuff up but if you're for real people who didn't know God before thought the world was flat do you know God if you're walking around saying the world is flat right now I'm wondering if you even know who God is because God said he made it round and you say well I don't believe what God said, well, why don't you get in a boat? Better yet, you can save time getting an airplane.

25:48 You can take off right here. Listen, there's an airport five miles from here. Get in an airplane, head out, head west. I don't know, about 250, I don't know, 250, something like that. Head west. Keep going. And we're going to wait for you right here. We'll wait. Just go. And you're going to go across the Pacific, and you're going to go to Japan, and you're going to go through the Orient, you're going to go through the Eurasia, you're going to be going through Middle East, you're going to go around, you're going to China, you're going to come, you're going to come, and we're going to like this, and we're going to, and we'll have lunch for you even. Did you know if you keep going west, you're going to come back to the exact same spot? Just do it. So how did that happen? if you start explaining some other way how it happened well you know it's light reflection and there's this moisture in the atmosphere that makes it look round dude listen you don't need a doctor you need an exorcism it's weird I mean you gotta that's insane you got a lot of faith though I got to tell you you believe that you got more faith than I do that's pretty incredible and so it says here that the devil Satan who deceives the whole world he was cast to the earth and his angels were cast out with him isn't it interesting the angels are the stars of heaven in the Old Testament the stars not the stars that you see in the sky angels are referred to in the Old Testament as stars.

27:28 Illuminaries in their person. Pretty intense stuff, to say the least. But remember this, everybody, regarding the devil's capabilities to deceive. You cannot underestimate them. Number five, what authority do demons have? You might want to mark this down in your notes and research this, because you're going to be puzzled, I think, with what you hear. This is one reporter's opinion. There are great scholars on either side of the argument. There are those who say that demons and angels are the same. But the Bible doesn't teach that. For example, the Bible teaches that demons are always looking for a statue, an animal, or a person for them to do their business. an angel holy or unholy never look for a body they don't need a body they appear and they disappear in fact even a demonic or i should say a satanic fallen angel doesn't have to be satan himself are you guys awake even if a fallen angel were to appear the bible warns us and says they can appear as an angel of light did you know that that's scary a fallen angel can show up and look like a righteous holy angel Joseph Smith tells us that the angel Moroni appeared to him and gave him another gospel, another testament.

29:03 I don't doubt Joseph Smith. I think that really happened to him. but I think it was a demonic spirit speaking to him. but demons are interesting to say the least from what we learn of them from scripture they too appear to be in ranks they have some form of authority from lower to higher they're always as I said a moment ago they're looking for a statue an icon of some sorts a human body they seek a dwelling place for them which is pretty intense. Matthew chapter 12 verse 43. Matthew 12, 43 says, Jesus is speaking when an unclean spirit goes out of a man.

29:55 So he's talking about a man that is possessed but the demon leaves. When an unclean spirit goes out of a man he goes through dry places. Some of you might have the old King James Bible in your hand. I'm curious what it says. If you have the old King James, raise your hand and I'd love to, yeah, way in the back. What does it say we're dry places?

30:19 I can't hear them. What? Oh, anybody with an old King James? Anybody? You have one? You looking on the device? That's good. No? So Matthew 12, 43. This is a, it's clear we're not going to make it through our study again. Do you have it? In a Bible version, if it's not the old King James, I thought it was the old King James. It's thrilling. That's it. What version are you reading? it's hard to hear her she said the right word but what Thompson Chain Bible yes but what is it is it NIV ESV King James American Standard Version interesting that's the accurate word listen this is awesome we'll have to end with this I know but what do you expect I never someday I'm going to show up someday with no notes so I won't have any expectation When it...

31:44 Yes, listen. Watch the screen. When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through, she said correctly, waterless places. Listen, they hate water. Stop everybody. Think, think, think, think. Why does the Bible say this? Watch, I'll keep reading, we'll come back and we'll all freak out.

32:10 Seeking rest and finds none. Verse 44, then he says, I will return to my house. Isn't that creepy? I'm going to return to that dude's body from which I came. And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. That is a warning Jesus is saying. The man was demon possessed. The demon left. The man went about to establish himself morally. he became a good man but he was still empty on the inside there was a hole on the inside that left him vacant if you're not a Christian tonight there's a hole inside of you and that hole the demon spirits are seeking to get inside that hole to fill that void and watch this the only reason why you may be an unbeliever here tonight or watching right now and you're not demon possessed You want to know why you're not?

33:05 Because God in his mercy and grace hasn't allowed it for you. I don't know what that's all about. Only God knows. But stuff that's going on around the world right now, cooking your baby in the oven, cutting your baby's eyes out, killing babies. What's with the babies? What's going on? All of a sudden, what's happening here? People grabbing here. Pilots, today, a pilot, killing or trying to kill the other pilot.

33:34 to crash the plane into Tel Aviv. What is it, Air Dubai? And thank God, the other pilot that's bleeding out kicks the cockpit door open. And thank God, there happened to be two Air Dubai pilots that were just taking a trip to Tel Aviv from Dubai in coach. but what happened was the flight was going to Tel Aviv who else is going to Tel Aviv? Jews there were a bunch of young Jewish men on the plane what does that mean? all of them had to go to IDF they went in there they took care of the terrorist and the two guys that could fly the plane came up and flew the plane. They landed. Not one person died. Everybody. And the plane went from 34,000 feet to 17,000 feet. I'm looking for the pilots in the house. 34,000 feet to 17,000 feet, I think in 15 minutes. How many minutes?

34:49 seconds? I don't know about that. I just know people were videoing it and it was, come on, no way, 30 seconds? Okay, it doesn't matter. Really quick, they went down. They're calling it a miracle today. Nobody died. Wow. But what was that guy thinking? That is demonic. That is demonic activity. I'm going to kill the pilot. I'm going to crash this plane into Tel Aviv and kill everybody like 9-11 style. Ladies and gentlemen, that's demonic. When people are killing innocents, that's demonic. When people defend innocents being killed, that's demonic. You cannot rationalize this. I don't care what you say. That's demonic. Unbelievable. But we'll park with this. Here, waterless places.

35:49 Waterless places. when Jesus was ministering on the Galilee throughout the region there's a strange moment where Jesus gets in a boat and he says, we're going to go. and they set sail, and they land at Gadara. Gadara, if you're looking at the Sea of Galilee, Gadara is in the northeast corner. So from where you're at, it would be over here. Where my finger is here, it would be like this. Are you with me, everybody, tracking that? Jesus goes from here across the Sea of Galilee with the disciples in a boat specifically to Gadara. We don't have to guess about Gadara. Many of us have been together. We've been in Gadara.

36:48 It's an archaeological fact. And by the way, no Jews will live there. It has been ancient. It has been a place that's cursed from ancient time. Jews don't go there. And there's a lot of tombs there. There's a lot of unclean graveyards there. There's who knows what is buried there. and it's the only steep cliff area in the entire Sea of Galilee, the only one that has steep sloping, I should say, shore. So you say, where are you going with this? I'm going somewhere with this. they sail across, they pull up to the shore, Jesus steps out of the boat, and the Bible tells us you have to read all the Gospels to get the whole truth. One Gospel tells you there were two demonically possessed men.

37:42 One Bible tells you that there was one man. What do you know when you read the Bible? That's not a contradiction. It depends on which author is talking about what part of the story. There were two demon-possessed men. They were both insane, the Bible says, demon-possessed crazies, cutting themselves with rocks and breaking the chains that people tried to tie around them. And they ran around the tombs, the graveyard, screaming. But one of the Gospels focuses on one particular man. and that man runs to Jesus and says, why have you come here? Have you come, Jesus, to torment us before the day? We know who you are. You are the Son of God. Don't destroy us.

38:37 Don't send us to the abyss, to hell. I mean, people, come on. If you were on that cruise, you're getting your money's worth, folks. This is amazing what's going on. Can you imagine being with one of the disciples? Put yourself in their sandals. They're like, what is going on right now? here's what's amazing to me the demons living inside those guys they knew who Jesus was and Jesus said what's your name and they said legion for we are many don't destroy us before the day so they know their time's coming I like that they're worried about it makes me feel good let them be anxious why should we be anxious they're the ones that are going to burn so don't torment us And here's what they did.

39:37 They said, to the point. cast us into those pigs over there. That's another reason why the Jews don't like that part of the world. The Gentiles were there. The pork pushers were... The pig pushers were in business there. Graveyard. That's freaky for a Jew, a graveyard. You think Jesus is afraid of pigs or graveyards?

40:07 Jesus, so the demon, which is amazing, you think, oh, he's negotiating with a demon. Just wait. They say, please send us into the pigs over there. The Bible tells us there were 2,000, the herd of pigs were 2,000 pigs. So you're thinking, well, why is Jesus, he's kind of caving in. Just watch. it's not over yet Jesus says go and the demons went into the pigs the pigs went nuts and they ran over the cliff into the sea and drowned it says they drowned the pigs drowned the demons lost 2,000 hosts in the water see that's no big deal it is a big deal if you go back to the days of Noah's flood when not only were people washed away in the flood, but the Bible tells us that the Nephilim were washed away in the flood, the giants, freak men.

41:21 Imagine like the tombs up in Gamla, tombs that are 12, 13, 14, sarcophaguses that are 12, 13, 14 feet long. Goliath, 9 feet, 6 inches tall. He's not so big. He was just a little kind of little shorty giant. When you read 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 Kings, when you read Genesis, the sons of Anak, the giants, the Bible tells us that God washed the earth, destroyed the earth with a flood. And in Genesis 6, it tells us that the sons of God, the angels of the fallen angels, had their way with the daughters of men, daughters of mankind.

42:18 And giants were born in the world in those days through their union. And they had six fingers and six toes, the Bible says. That they were men of renown, tremendously powerful, strong, probably brilliant. But David fought, David's mighty men fought them. some guy, one of the guys, I forget his name fought two of them and the Bible says those two guys look just like lions what does that mean? the point is this demons are terrified of water when they look they avoid they go looking for waterless places it's too much for them I believe that situation is because when these giants that were half breeds perished in the flood where did they go?

43:18 their bodies died obviously but if Genesis 6 talks about spiritual well for those of you who remember don't look this up if you're queasy but have you ever looked at what the Bible even talks about incubus incubus succubus you look those words up not now later please you say well that's too fantastic yeah you know what the Bible talks about that Thank you. when they washed away in the flood when they died if they're half if they're part human and pat and part spirit creature that can appear remember they can appear angels can appear and disappear so the scripture says that when these sons of god that's what angels are called in the old testament had union with human women and giants were born unto them, Genesis 6.

44:25 If they're half-breeds, when they die, where do they go? Do they have a soul? What is it? Because it's not human fully. Am I freaking you out? This is real stuff. You say, why should we talk about it? Because Jesus said in the last days, it's going to be like it was in the days of Noah. It's going to happen again in some way, shape, or form. Folks, listen. I personally believe that when those giants died, they can't go to the realm of the human dead. they wouldn't be ready. Time is not yet for the judgment of hell. That's forthcoming. I believe that that's one of the reasons why those spirits are always looking for a body or an animal or a statue or a thing, an entry point, because they need a body.

45:30 They need something. because an angel doesn't, but a demon could very well possibly be the spirit part of those giants that perished in the flood. And here's the freaky part. Now, we'll end on the freaky part so you can go home freaked out. Book of Daniel chapter 2 tells us that in the last days, in the days of the 10 kings of Daniel's great statue, the toes, the ten kingdoms of the last days when Christ returns. It says that the spirit world, Daniel chapter 2, will mingle with the seed of man.

46:18 And the word seed is probably the word you have in your mind right now. I'm not going to say the word. Are you tracking people? the spirits will once again mingle with the DNA of man. this Bible study might be too much for you. but go search all this and see. I've told you these things tonight in the spirit of what Jesus taught us. When he said, I've spoken to you these things before they come to pass, that when they happen, you will believe. The world is doing exactly what God knew it was gonna do. Don't worry.

47:02 If things fall apart seemingly, know this, it's actually all falling together. Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. God said, Christ Jesus said, if you are in my hands, no one can pluck you out of my hands or my father's hands. The challenge to you tonight, my friend, is are you a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ? Do you know that the Holy Spirit is dwelling within you? I didn't even get to the stuff about how safe you are. as a Christian with the Holy Spirit living in you against the evil that's coming. In Christ you're invincible. But if you're not a Christian tonight, you need to make a decision for Jesus. Stop gambling. It is dangerous out there. Only Christ can save you.

47:56 He's the one who loves you anyway. What are you doing? Stop goofing off. Follow him. Time is running out. Let's get ready to meet him. Father, we praise you tonight. Heavy stuff, but all true. Remarkable. Wow. And if that wasn't enough, we know from your prophetic word that things are going to kind of pick up where they left off from ancient times.

48:25 And we see so much. But the number one thing is that we would see Jesus. We would see Jesus. we would see Jesus before we see the headline news we would see Jesus before we hear the broadcast that we would see Jesus before we would think the thought that we would see Jesus before we would do that thing or the other Christ first in all things and Lord I pray tonight for anyone who's watching or anyone who's here that you would intensify upon their soul exactly where they're at with you you know. Lord, will you speak to them? Will you show them? Will you peel back, as it were, the onion and reveal to them if they're vacant or not? If inside of them, their house is left wide open? And that they would say to you tonight, Lord, come into my life. Lord, forgive me of my sins. I want the Holy Spirit to live in me so no unholy spirit would ever live within me.

49:24 Take my life, Lord. You give it to me, I give it back to you. Use me as you so desire. but together, friend, let's go forward trusting Jesus Christ. No matter what happens, his word is true. Our feelings are false. he can never change. We're always looking for change. He's firm and certain in a world of uncertainty and fear.

49:57 For God so loved you, my friend, that he gifted his only son, Jesus Christ, that if you would believe on him, you would not perish but have everlasting life. will you trust him tonight I pray you would in Jesus name and all God's people
